Podcasts about Quota

L'appuntamento con Investire informati torna alla vigilia della quotazione in borsa di SpaceX, la società spaziale di Elon Musk. Raccontiamo quella che si prevede sarà l’offerta pubblica iniziale (IPO) più grande di sempre con l'aiuto di Giuseppe Patara, Head of Portfolio Management Europe di Pictet Wealth Management. Proseguiamo parlando di previdenza complementare all'indomani della presentazione della relazione COVIP, Commissione di Vigilanza sui Fondi Pensione. Intervengono Mario Pepe - presidente Covip - e Mauro Marè, presidente MEFOP (Società per lo sviluppo del Mercato dei Fondi Pensione).

Die Folge, nach der Sie gefragt habt, und ein gutes Stück früher als geplant. Seit dem 7. Juni 2026 gilt die EU-Frist zur Entgelttransparenz. Die meisten reden über Compliance. Die eigentliche Frage ist: Was bedeutet das für Ihre nächste Gehaltsverhandlung?Jan Nordh ordnet die neue EU-Entgelttransparenzrichtlinie aus der Marktperspektive ein, praktisch, nicht juristisch. Warum die Regel Verhandlungsmacht Richtung Kandidat verschiebt, warum Deutschland die Frist verpasst hat und bis voraussichtlich 2027 hinterherhinkt, und was das für euch trotzdem schon heute ändert. Im Zentrum steht der Teil, über den im Sales kaum jemand konkret spricht: die variable Vergütung. Wichtig dabei: Provision, Bonus und OTE sind von der Regel ausdrücklich erfasst, fixer und variabler Teil müssen sogar getrennt berichtet werden. Der eigentliche Hebel ist deshalb nicht die Base, sondern die Frage, wo im Vertrieb die Ungleichheit wirklich sitzt: in Territorium, Accounts, Quota und Ramp.Die fünf Kernpunkte der Richtlinie in einfachen Worten, und was sie praktisch bedeutenWarum der Wegfall der Gehaltshistorie-Frage euren größten Verhandlungsnachteil beseitigtWarum im Sales die Ungleichheit nicht in der Base sitzt, sondern im variablen TeilDie richtige Frage im Gespräch: ist das die Base oder die On-Target-Earnings?Für IT-Vertriebsprofis, Enterprise Account Executives, Sales Leader und alle in Cybersecurity, Enterprise Software und AI im DACH-Raum und in den Nordics.

In this episode of the Business of Alignment Podcast, AJ Vaughan breaks down the dangerous misconception that strong revenue automatically equals a healthy culture. He explores the invisible impact of psychological unsafety, internal fragmentation, and leadership misalignment inside high-performing sales organizations — especially across sales, marketing, and product teams.AJ challenges CROs, founders, and executives to rethink how they measure success, arguing that culture is not separate from revenue performance — it is directly tied to pipeline health, creativity, execution, retention, and long-term growth. From transparent recruiting practices to emotionally intelligent leadership systems, this episode dives deep into what happens when organizations prioritize quota over people… and why the consequences often show up 6 to 18 months later.This conversation is for leaders who want to build organizations where performance, accountability, trust, and human alignment can coexist at scale.

40% of a seller's time is spent on prospecting. That's a big investment, especially when a lot of it does not lead anywhere. So how do you make sure that time actually turns into real opportunities? Let's break down how to prospect in a way that leads to conversations and closed deals.Leverage Intent and Relevant DataA big part of prospecting comes down to timing. You want to reach out when buyers are already looking for a solution.That is where intent data comes in. Tools like ZoomInfo and 6sense can help you identify prospects who are actively researching solutions like endpoint protection.When you do reach out, make it relevant. Speak directly to their industry and back it up with a recent success story from a similar company. That is what helps build credibility early.Utilize Advanced LinkedIn SearchingInstead of reaching out to everyone, focus on a smaller group of people who are more likely to respond.You can build a list of 30 to 40 individuals by narrowing your search. Look for people who are new in their roles or who have been active on LinkedIn in the past 30 days.You can also look at who they are connected to, especially if they follow industry influencers or are part of specific associations. That gives you a stronger starting point for outreach.Systematize ReferralsReferrals are one of the most overlooked opportunities in sales.Most prospects are open to giving referrals, but very few salespeople actually ask for them. That is a missed opportunity.Start making it part of your process. When you are working with a client, ask if they know others who are dealing with similar challenges. A simple ask can open the door to warmer conversations.Target Niche Local EventsNot every opportunity comes from online outreach. Smaller, more focused events can be a great way to connect with people directly. Think industry meetups or informal gatherings where conversations happen more naturally.These settings make it easier to build relationships and lead to introductions that feel more genuine.The Fortune Is in the Follow-UpEven when you get in front of the right people, it does not mean much if you do not follow up.A large percentage of event attendees have the authority to make buying decisions, yet most leads never receive any follow-up at all.That is where the real opportunity is. Following up within 12 to 24 hours and staying consistent with your outreach can be the difference between being remembered and being forgotten.“Nine out of ten prospects are willing to give a referral, but only about 11% of salespeople actually ask.” - Donald C.

Burnout in sales doesn't always look like falling behind—it often shows up when you're performing at your highest level. In this episode, Michelle breaks down the difference between being tired and true burnout, and why so many high-achieving women in sales are operating in a state of chronic stress without realizing it. You'll learn: How to identify early signs of burnout in your body and behavior What's happening in your nervous system under constant pressure Why rest alone isn't enough once burnout sets in A practical 3-step framework to regain control: recognize, regulate, and redesign If you've been pushing through, staying "fine," and wondering why it's not working anymore—this episode will help you understand what's really going on and how to shift it. Because sustainable performance isn't about pushing harder. It's about building capacity.

Analysts believe there could be changes to China's beef import quota, as Beijing grants additional export licenses to Australian producers. Dozens of licenses have been amended to allow for chilled meat exports rather than just frozen, and 8 new licences have been approved. Earlier this year, China announced it would only allow 205 000 tonnes of Australian beef to enter the market before a 55% tariff was applied. Rural Editor Emily Minney spoke to Global Agritrends Analyst Simon Quilty about the decision and what it could mean for producers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

La montagna può davvero trasformarsi da distretto industriale a Valley della conoscenza? Prendendo spunto dal saggio di Andrea Ferrazzi, "Il futuro ad alta quota", analizziamo come la gerarchia simbolica tra testa, mani e cuore stia ridisegnando il valore del lavoro e alimentando il malessere delle periferie montane. Esploriamo la necessità di unire industria, politica e alta formazione per trattenere i giovani sul territorio, superando la logica della semplice cartolina turistica. Se vogliamo salvare l'identità montana e contrastare lo spopolamento, dobbiamo investire in ITS e università, creando un marketing territoriale che non sia solo estetica ma sostanza economica e sociale.

SaaStr 848: How AI Is Rewiring Sales: Quota, Retention & What's Actually Working with SaaStr, Salesforce and Mangomint In this episode, three revenue leaders at very different stages of AI adoption get real about what's actually working, what's embarrassingly broken, and why nobody should be doubling quota just yet. Panelists: Greg Beltzer — Chief Customer Officer, AgentForce (Salesforce) Ashley Wilson — Co-founder, Momentum by Salesforce Marchelle Mooney — VP of Sales, Mangomint Amelia Lerutte - Chief AI Officer, SaaStr They cover: Why every company has leads they never followed up on (yes, even Salesforce) The "chainsaw without the cover off" problem with AI tool rollouts How Mangomint uses AI to fix terrible salon logos in minutes — and why it freaks customers out Why Marchelle is not raising quota in 2026, even though she could The real resistance to AI adoption (hint: it's not just the CIO) How Momentum is using AI to democratize language for SDRs in Argentina What retention looks like when AI is listening for slow-drip churn signals Why your data is probably worse than you think — and what that means for agents Key takeaway: AI won't magically fix your sales org. Your data has to be clean, your people need training, and you have to rethink workflows from first principles — not just bolt AI onto the old playbook. Recorded live at SaaStr London. ---------------------   Hey everybody, the biggest B2B + AI event of the year will be back - SaaStr AI in the SF Bay Area, aka the SaaStr Annual, will be back in May 2026.    With 68% VP-level and above, 36% CEOs and founders and a growing 25% AI-first professional, this is the very best of the best S-tier attendees and decision makers that come to SaaStr each year.     But here's the reality, folks: the longer you wait, the higher ticket prices can get.

Clare's seafood industry is expected to benefit from a quota increase for one of its most abundant fishing stocks. It comes as the EU has agreed to boost Ireland's total allowable catch for mackerel by 8,000 tonnes. The Seafood Ireland Alliance has welcomed the €32m deal, but says it doesn't resolve long-standing quota imbalances. Tulla-based Minister for Fisheries Timmy Dooley who led Ireland's negotiations says there's plenty more work to do.

In this episode, AJ breaks down a hard truth most leaders avoid: your growth problem isn't your sales team, it's your system. With average ramp times nearing six months and markets shifting faster than teams can keep up, the real issue is internal misalignment, not external execution.This conversation challenges the obsession with quota and replaces it with something far more durable: culture, alignment, and operational clarity. AJ dives into why HR leaders are still not truly embedded in decision-making, how disconnected teams create unpredictable revenue cycles, and why most organizations are building momentum on shaky foundations.If you care about predictable growth, stronger teams, and long-term performance, this is a call to rethink how your company operates from the inside out.

First, we speak to The Indian Express' Shubhajit Roy about the escalating conflict involving United States, Iran, and Israel, and why it is now being seen as a widening regional war. Next, we turn to the growing debate over India's GDP numbers after a new data series released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation raised fresh concerns about how economic growth is being measured. The Indian Express' Udit Misra explains why discrepancies persist and what this means for policymaking and credibility. (15:25)And in the end, we look at the government's latest effort to operationalise the Women's Reservation Act, including a proposal to expand the Lok Sabha to 816 seats to enable one-third reservation for women.

Happy WNBA CBA day to all who celebrate! This episode is a melange (I've been reading the dictionary) of topics we discuss. We tackle the Oscars, NFL free agency, Chipotle ai, Banksy's identity and other crap. The title really explains this episode perfectly.

If The Godfather, Gone with the Wind, Star Wars etc was made now they would be nominated for an Oscar.. why you ask because crazy people have made quotas the norm in Hollywood..When you can't push buttons, make people uncomfortable & just go for it in movies , music, comedy etc it's not entertainment anymore..

In this episode of Culture Into Quota, AJ Vaughan tackles one of the most uncomfortable truths in HR technology and enterprise sales: most deals fail not because the product is weak, but because the organization isn't actually ready for it.AJ breaks down the dangerous gap between revenue expectations and market reality, explaining why founders, CROs, AEs, and even HR leaders often operate without the real operational data needed to make sound technology decisions. The result? Forced narratives, misaligned forecasts, and conversations happening with leaders who may hold titles—but not true decision gravity.This episode challenges HR tech revenue teams to rethink how they approach discovery, forecasting, and stakeholder alignment. It also calls on HR leaders to get closer to the real business problems inside product, marketing, and revenue teams before evaluating new technology.Key themes in this episode include:Why doesn't every C-suite title actually carry decision powerThe dangerous disconnect between board-level projections and real buying cyclesHow HR leaders can better align with revenue, product, and financeWhy authentic discovery matters more than product pitchingThe concept of decision gravity and how it shapes enterprise dealsIf you're selling into HR or leading HR inside a scaling organization, this episode offers a powerful reminder: before discussing tools, features, or demos, you must first understand where real business problems actually live inside the organization. This is Culture Into Quota - where leadership, culture, and revenue strategy finally meet in the same conversation.

A popular startup belief says your VP of Sales should “carry a bag” and close deals when they start.The logic sounds reasonable: if they can't sell, how can they lead a sales team? But that idea misunderstands what a real VP of Sales is actually hired to do.In this episode, Ray breaks down why asking a VP to carry a quota creates a direct conflict of incentives, attracts the wrong candidates, and is usually a sign the company isn't actually ready for a VP of Sales yet.If you're a founder or CEO thinking about hiring your first VP of Sales, this episode will help you avoid a costly mistake and understand what problem you actually need to solve first.What You'll Learn in This Episode• Why legitimate VP of Sales candidates won't accept roles that require them to carry a quota• The incentive conflict that happens when a VP is asked to sell while building a team• How needing a quota-carrying VP is usually a signal your company isn't ready for one yet//Welcome to The Ray J.

You’ve heard people say, “Sales is a grind.” And they’re right. Sales requires relentless effort. You’ve got to make the calls, run the process, deal with internal roadblocks, handle piles of rejection, and show up every day with a smile on your face, ready to do it all over again. But the dirty little secret is that plenty of salespeople push through the grind day after day and still don’t seem to get ahead. They put in the effort and work hard, but get nowhere. All grind, but little progress. Here’s the truth they don’t always tell you: You can grind yourself into the ground and still fail if you don’t have the right mindset and belief system underpinning that effort. To keep it real, I’m the person who shouts from the rooftops that you’ve got to “grind to shine.” I say that in my book Fanatical Prospecting. It’s printed on coffee mugs. I love that mantra because it’s about doing the things other people are unwilling to do. But raw grind isn’t always enough. Sometimes, we need to pair grinding it out with tenacity. Tenacity is a Sustainable Sales Trait In sales, tenacity is a more sustainable trait than raw grind or pure persistence because tenacity combines persistent determination with process certainty and strategy. Grind is about doing the daily, repetitive, rejection-dense work required for success, but it can quickly lead to frustration and burnout when it isn't paired with enduring faith that the hard work is going to pay off.  Tenacity, on the other hand, is grinding combined with the absolute certainty that what you expect to happen is eventually going to happen. That’s the difference between the rep who grinds hard for a quarter, feels that they are getting nowhere, and burns out because they’re not seeing results, and the sales professional who consistently runs the sales playbook, without immediate evidence that it’s working, because they have faith that the process will eventually produce their desired outcomes. Uncertainty Causes You to Constantly Change Your Approach One big problem with grinding without certainty is that when results don’t show up on your impatient timeline, you start changing everything. You make 100 calls this week using one approach. Next week, you try a different script. The week after that, you switch your targeting. Then you read an article about social selling and abandon cold calling altogether. You’re working hard, but you’re also second-guessing every move. You change your messaging before you’ve run it long enough to know if it works. You abandon techniques after a handful of attempts. You skip or change steps in your company’s sales process after a couple of deals don't go your way.  When you put in massive effort, but spread that effort across ten different approaches instead of trusting the proven process and playbook long enough to let it produce results, you end up in an exhausting, demoralizing quagmire of chaos and eventually give up.  The True Meaning of Process Certainty When I say “certainty,” I’m not talking about positive thinking or affirmations or manifestation or any of that rah-rah motivational stuff. Certainty in sales means knowing—not hoping, but knowing—that if you do the right things the right way for long enough, the outcomes are inevitable. That you get the Sales Gravy.  That’s what allows tenacious salespeople to keep grinding when others quit. They’re not grinding on blind faith. They’re grinding on proven evidence that the process works.  For example, in Fanatical Prospecting, I explain the 30 Day Rule, which states that the prospecting you do in any given 30 days tends to pay off over the next 90 days.  The 30-day rule is always in play. It is proven. It is truth. But you'll never see it work if your prospecting is sporadic rather than consistently executed every single day.  The Three Types of Certainty that Power the Tenacity Engine If you want to develop real tenacity—the kind that sustains you through tough markets, rough quarters, and slumps—you need to build certainty in three core areas. 1. Certainty in Your Value You need conviction that what you’re selling genuinely improves your customers' businesses in a meaningful way. When you have that certainty, something shifts. You stop feeling like you’re bothering people or being pushy and start feeling like you are helping them. That you belong there.  And buyers can feel this difference. They sense and respond to your confidence, enthusiasm, and passion for helping them. Which gives you even more certainty. 2. Certainty in Your Process You need confidence that your sales process and playbook actually work.  Most sellers have been provided a proven, repeatable approach to building pipeline, qualifying opportunities, running discovery, handling objections, building consensus, negotiating, and closing business.  If you don't have a process, read or listen to my books Fanatical Prospecting, The LinkedIn Edge, Sales EQ, Objections, Virtual Selling, and Inked. Collectively, these books give you a powerful playbook for success.  But regardless of whether you get your playbook from your company or me, believing that it will work for you is a choice and mindset that only you can step into.  If you are constantly second-guessing the process every time things don't work out the way you want them to, you are doomed to frustration and failure. You'll be a slave to flavor-of-the-day thinking and winging it from call to call and situation to situation. But when you trust the process, you'll be steady, consistent, and confident. And you'll relax because you know that you won't win every time, no one does, but over time, because your process is proven, win probability is in your favor.  3. Certainty in Probability This is the big one. You need certainty that the math works in your favor over time. The simple truth is that sales is a numbers game played with human emotions. Not every call will book a meeting. Not every meeting will turn into an opportunity. Not every opportunity will close. But if you control the inputs—activity level, message quality, process execution—the outputs become predictable and win probability bends in your favor.  Ultra-high performers understand this at a bone-deep level. They know their numbers and conversion rates. This gives them certainty that the statistics are working in their favor.  On the other hand, the reps who are winging it are sky high when something goes well and in the dumps when things don't—without knowing what they did in either situation to affect the outcome. And it is on this emotional roller coaster where they eventually burn out and quit.  Top performers never board this emotional roller coaster because they’re anchored to math, not mood. How to Transform Sales Grind into Certainty-Fueled Tenacity Maybe you’re thinking, “Jeb, this all sounds great, but how do I build this certainty that you speak of?” Fair question. Here are four ways:  Track Process Metrics, Not Just Outcomes If you only measure outcomes—meetings set, deals closed, revenue generated—you’re going to struggle with certainty during the lag time between the grind and results. So instead, track the inputs like calls, conversation ratios, meetings, next step advances, or proposals delivered. When you measure the right activities, you can see progress and celebrate small wins even when results aren't there yet. This builds certainty that the process is working, which sustains your effort through the gap. Practice Until You Don’t Have to Think Competence begets certainty. Competence comes from practice and repetition. Role-play your cold calls. Rehearse your discovery questions. Murder-board your presentations. Practice, practice, practice your sales story, messaging, and handling objections. Record yourself doing it and watch it back. When you’ve practiced something until it is pure muscle memory, you don’t get nervous when it matters. You don’t freeze up or get embarrassed when you fumble. You execute with relaxed confidence. Emotionally Detach from Individual Deals The fastest way to lose certainty is to attach your identity to one opportunity. Tenacious sellers want to win every deal, but they don’t need to win every deal to feel okay about themselves. They treat each opportunity like one at-bat in a long season. Emotional detachment isn’t indifference. It’s a form of professionalism. It’s caring about the outcome without being controlled by it. Install a Mental Script for Rejection When you get rejected, it hurts, and your brain immediately tries to explain why. When you are in pain, it is super easy to default to stories that weaken your mindset and belief system. You say things to yourself like, “I’m not good at this or this isn't working.” Tenacious sellers consciously replace that story with self-talk that maintains certainty. “Not now isn’t never.” “This is part of the math.” My inputs are correct, I executed my process, but this just wasn't the right time for this buyer.” This is how top salespeople think because they know that the greatest threat to tenacity isn’t the rejection, it’s the meaning you assign to the rejection. Grinding Without Certainty is Just Another Form of Suffering Sales will always be a grind. The calls don’t make themselves. The pipeline doesn’t fill itself. The deals don’t close themselves. But grinding without certainty is just another form of suffering. It’s unsustainable. Eventually, you get frustrated, burn out, and give up. Certainty doesn’t eliminate the hard work, but it does make the hard work sustainable. So if you’re grinding right now and not seeing the results you want, don’t just grind harder. Build certainty. Get clear on the value you deliver. Trust your process. Know your numbers. Track the inputs. Practice your craft.  Because tenacity isn’t about being tougher than everyone else. It’s about being certain enough to keep going when everyone else quits. And remember, when you are tired, worn down, and feel like you can’t take another objection, when all you want to do is quit and go home, always stop and make one more call. Because that one more call is the ultimate demonstration of your trust in the process. Get your tickets today to OutBound – the world’s biggest, baddest sales and leadership training conference.

Most leadership teams believe revenue problems are strategy problems.They're not.They're capability visibility problems.In this episode of Culture Over Quota, AJ Vaughan breaks down one of the most overlooked drivers of revenue growth: leadership trust built through deep understanding of human capability inside the organization.When revenue stalls, executives often debate strategy, pipeline, product roadmap, or marketing spend. CFOs analyze numbers. CROs question sales execution. CMOs debate messaging. The board weighs in with perspective.But almost no one asks the most important question:Do we actually understand the full capabilities of the people we already have?AJ challenges revenue leaders, product leaders, operations executives, and middle management to rethink how they diagnose organizational problems. Most companies only understand employees through job descriptions and performance metrics—while ignoring the enormous layer of hidden skills, experiences, side projects, relationships, and learning happening outside of the role.That missing visibility creates dysfunction at the leadership level. Because when leaders don't know the real capabilities inside their organization, they can't properly diagnose problems, deploy talent, or trust the solutions being proposed.In this episode, AJ explores:Why leadership trust is directly tied to capability visibilityThe dangerous gap between job descriptions and real human potentialHow hidden skills inside revenue teams can unlock marketing, product, and growth breakthroughsWhy organizations must build living capability maps of their workforceHow documenting skills, learning, and expertise across teams changes how companies solve problemsWhy understanding who your people actually are is the first step to generating more revenueThe core idea is simple:Before leadership teams try to solve a revenue problem, they need to understand the full palette of human capability sitting inside their company.Because the answer to the next breakthrough may already be sitting inside the building.This episode is a call for leaders to rethink how they see their teams, how they measure talent, and how they build trust at the executive level.Culture drives capability.Capability drives execution.Execution drives revenue.Welcome to Culture Over Quota.

Un mutuo è un prestito, o meglio un finanziamento, concesso da una banca che ha due caratteristiche fondamentali: è di media o lunga durata - da 5 a 30 o 40 anni - ed è di importo elevato, generalmente non inferiore ai 50000 euro. E' garantito da un'ipoteca sull'immobile che si vuole acquistare e le rate mensili, che servono per ripagare il prestito, sono composte da due parti (quota capitale e quota di interessi) con tassi fissi o variabili. Ma cos'è esattamente un mutuo? Come si calcola la rata? E quali sono le differenze tra i diversi tassi d'interesse?

In this episode, we break down the real tension between revenue teams and marketing teams, not at the strategic planning level, but in the messy middle where trust starts to erode.This conversation goes beyond campaign metrics and quota attainment. We unpack how misaligned assumptions about the buyer, funnel expectations, and content intent create friction between AEs, SDRs, sales enablement, and marketing leaders. The issue isn't effort. It's perspective.You'll hear a direct discussion on:Why alignment feels strong at the beginning of the year but fractures quicklyHow different interpretations of the buyer create pipeline frictionThe hidden cost of avoiding hard conversations between teamsWhy psychological safety is an operational advantage, not a soft HR conceptPractical ways to create shared truth, faster feedback loops, and cleaner handoffsIf you lead revenue, marketing, product, or enablement, this episode challenges you to examine whether your teams are truly aligned or just coexisting.When culture is aligned around shared truth and honest feedback, quota becomes a byproduct, not a battleground.

In the first official episode of Culture Over Quota, AJ Vaughan introduces a concept that sits right in the uncomfortable gap most high-growth organizations refuse to measure: People Profit.Every leadership team can tell you their CAC, EBITDA, unit economics, and revenue per employee. Those numbers are discussed, defended, and forecasted like gospel. But the most important operating system behind all of them — the lived reality of the workforce — often goes unmeasured until it breaks.This episode is a direct conversation to CHROs, CFOs, CROs, and private equity operators who are chasing scale without pretending the human layer will “figure itself out.”AJ breaks down the hidden margin crisis that shows up when companies optimize for short-term output while ignoring human capacity alignment: the quiet disengagement, the innovation drag, the internal hesitation, the missed handoffs, the cancelled collaboration meetings, the increase in “heroics,” and the fear-based grind that turns high performers into flight risks.You'll hear why a company can look “fine” on paper while internally bleeding speed — and why leaders often feel the month was “off,” even when dashboards don't explain it.AJ uses a simple but sharp sports analogy: teams that sprint too hard early burn out late. Businesses do the same thing — pushing intensity without building sustainable alignment — then act surprised when Q2 momentum fades, Q3 gets weird, and Q4 becomes a recovery plan.People Profit is AJ's push to change what we track:Not just financial outcomes, but the human signals that predict them alignment, psychological safety, workload strain, collaboration quality, and the invisible behaviors that either compound performance or quietly tax it.Because culture isn't a vibe.It's a performance system.And when you measure it honestly, it becomes a margin.This is Part One of a multi-part breakdown of the People Profit framework and the start of Culture Over Quota as a movement for leaders who want growth without burnout, speed without chaos, and profit without losing the people who create it.

The Detective’s Quota by David Cuomo, Elizabeth Pulido For many years, the Chicago south side neighborhood was virtually free of crime. Every once in awhile someone would commit a burglary, or a theft, and the police charged with keeping the neighborhood free of crime almost always captured the offender. However, in the year of 2010, three Bridgeport women were found raped and murdered in an alley adjacent to White Sox Park. As such crimes were rare in the area, the entire police department, fearing for the safety of women, went on a massive manhunt for the killer. That manhunt took a strange unexpected turn, as the evidence the department gathered indicated that one of its own members, namely John McBride, may have murdered the woman. This novels traces the investigation which led to John McBride’s arrest and his trial.

A few years ago, Shabaz Ali was a chemistry teacher in Blackburn. Today, he's one of the internet's most beloved creators, best known as Shabaz Says, with millions of fans and a knack for skewering the most outrageous (and often tasteless) displays of online excess. Since quitting the day job, Shabaz has launched a podcast, performed at the Edinburgh Fringe and published his book I'm Rich, You're Poor. Beneath the humour though, there's always been something more serious at play: a sharp commentary on the psychological erosion that comes from spending too much of our lives online. In this episode, we talk about Shabaz's upbringing, being bullied at school, how his taxi-driver Dad didn't even realise his son was famous until recently and why no-one should ever spend £10,000 on an outfit. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction 03:03 The Impact of Social Media on Youth 05:14 Navigating Imposter Syndrome and Success 10:53 Embracing Authenticity and Overcoming Criticism 12:46 Growing Up in Blackburn 15:45 Challenges of Intersectional Identity 22:36 Family Perspectives and Cultural Expectations 24:04 Struggles with Poverty 25:20 Empathy 30:15 From Teacher to Social Media Star 31:24 Unexpected Career in the Hospital Morgue 33:38 Finding Viral Success Online 37:16 Representation and Finding Your Voice
