Local fisherman and boat owner from Kalk Bay, Faez Poggenpoel, joins Lester Kiewit to explain the recent increase in the West Coast rock lobster quota by the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment. Faez details how the 58% hike mainly benefits commercial and small-scale fishers, while recreational divers see minimal changes, and why sustainable management practices have made this increase possible. He also clarifies misconceptions about quota allocations, resource recovery, and the strict scientific oversight that governs South Africa’s lobster fisheries.

AJ delves into the real tensions between founders and VCs, CHROs and CROs, sellers and buyers, and reveals how companies that prioritize people over profit actually win bigger, faster, and longer.Expect candid stories, lived lessons, and deep dives into the future of HR tech, sales culture, and organizational design — all anchored in one belief:If you build culture first, the quota takes care of itself.

The European Commission has moved to cut free-trade quotas by 47 percent for steel and steel products and to double out-of-tariff import duties to 50 percent, taking a leaf out of US President Donald Trump's protectionist playbook. It's a way to protect the continent's struggling industry in the face of Trump's disruptive trade policy and global oversupply of the metal. Meanwhile, Trump hosts Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney as the two sides hope to work out a trade deal.

Seduta in forte rialzo per Pirelli dopo le indiscrezioni Reuters su un possibile disimpegno di Sinochem, che detiene il 37% del capitale, disposto a valutare offerte con premio di mercato. L’ipotesi si inserisce negli sforzi del governo italiano per risolvere i nodi di governance. La notizia segue l’archiviazione del procedimento sul golden power da parte di Palazzo Chigi e l’avvio di un dialogo tra governo, Pirelli e azionisti. Lo stallo tra parte italiana e soci cinesi ha già creato tensioni, con il bilancio 2024 e la trimestrale bocciati e l’AD Casaluci che ha parlato di rischi per lo sviluppo del gruppo. La contesa riguarda la perdita del controllo da parte dei cinesi, mai accettata da Sinochem, e i vincoli americani che vedono ancora troppa influenza cinese in Pirelli. Tra le soluzioni possibili, la riduzione della quota cinese o una revisione della governance. Per Mediobanca l’indiscrezione è positiva perché il mercato percepisce la governance come debolezza e la cessione totale o parziale della quota Sinochem appare la via più probabile. Intermonte evidenzia che il tema è già consolidato tra gli investitori, ma ora emerge come volontà di Sinochem. L’uscita, pur ostacolata dalla richiesta di premio, viene ritenuta probabile anche grazie alla crescita della quota di Camfin al 27,4% con target 29,9%. Entrambi gli analisti mantengono rating “Outperform” con target price a 7,3 euro. Ne parliamo con Marigia Mangano, Il Sole 24 Ore.Irpef senza sconti oltre i 50mila euro: escluso il 7% che paga il 45% del gettito. Il rapporto Itinerari previdenziali-Cida mostra una forte concentrazione del gettito Irpef: il 27% dei contribuenti paga il 76,9% dell’imposta, mentre quasi metà dei cittadini versa appena il 5,64%. La manovra di bilancio prevede la sterilizzazione del taglio Irpef dal 35 al 33% per i redditi fino a 50mila euro, escludendo 3 milioni di contribuenti (7,1% del totale) che però garantiscono il 44,3% del gettito. Il tema si intreccia con il dibattito sul ceto medio, indicato dal governo nella fascia tra 28mila e 50mila euro. In Italia la soglia dei 50mila resta quella che individua i “ricchi”, con aliquota marginale al 43%, ben più bassa nei livelli di reddito in cui scatta rispetto a Germania e Francia. L’Osservatorio guidato da Brambilla sottolinea come l’Irpef sia ormai sbilanciata, con 1,65% di contribuenti sopra i 100mila euro che coprono oltre il 22% del gettito e quasi metà degli italiani che paga pochissimo o nulla. Il commento è di Alberto Brambilla, presidente di Itinerari previdenziali.Gli Usa entrano ufficialmente in shutdown. Gli Stati Uniti sono entrati nello shutdown per la prima volta in sette anni, con il congelamento di parte dell’amministrazione federale. Lo scontro politico tra repubblicani e democratici al Congresso non ha portato all’approvazione del bilancio: i repubblicani hanno respinto la proposta che includeva il rinnovo dei sussidi Obamacare. Lo stop comporta la sospensione dal lavoro per 750mila dipendenti federali senza stipendio immediato e costi stimati in 400 milioni di dollari al giorno, oltre a ritardi nei trasporti e nella diffusione di dati economici cruciali. Lo shutdown riguarda finanziamenti governativi per 1.700 miliardi di dollari, circa un quarto del bilancio totale. Si teme che la chiusura possa durare più a lungo del passato, mentre cresce il clima di scontro politico. Intanto è stata annunciata l’acquisizione di Electronic Arts per 55 miliardi di dollari da parte di un consorzio che include Silver Lake, il fondo sovrano saudita Pif e Affinity Partners di Jared Kushner, segnando la più grande operazione a debito della storia e alimentando le polemiche sui legami d’affari della famiglia Trump. Interviene Peter Cardillo, Chief Market Economist di Spartan Capital Securities, basato a New York.

This week, we welcome multi-award-winning writer and former barrister, Jock Serong. For as long as he can remember, Jock wanted to be a writer, but after a better-than-expected mark in year 12, a law degree seemed to be a safer bet than journalism. Despite doing some truly fascinating cases, including early Native Title work in Western Australia, and junioring in the Silk Miller murder trials, it was always the stories and not the law that captivated him. So after almost two decades in the law, he let his practising certificate expire and made the leap to full-time writer. Jock has written seven novels, including Quota, which won the Ned Kelly Award for Best First Novel, and his most recent work, Cherrywood, whose protagonist, Martha, is a lawyer in a large firm in Melbourne. It is a fantastic conversation and a pleasure to welcome Jock to the show.www.greenslist.com.au/podcast
In this replay episode of Coach to Scale, host Matt Bonelli sits down with Ben Johnson, VP at Zendesk, seasoned sales leader, and longtime CrossFit coach, to explore what it really takes to build a thriving sales career. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience at companies like Dell, Oracle, Workday, and Zuora, Ben challenges the myth that sales success is measured only by the quarter. Instead, he shares why the true differentiator is consistent coaching, a culture of accountability, and the willingness to sharpen your sword through personal development.Listeners will walk away with actionable insights on transforming performance improvement plans into coaching opportunities, creating cultures where vulnerability is strength, and distinguishing between “must-dos” and “how-tos” in sales leadership. From rebranding coaching as a growth engine to embracing “deeds, not words,” this conversation delivers timeless lessons for sales reps, managers, and leaders who want to play the long game and win.Key Takeaways1. Coach to the career, not the quota – Long-term success comes from developing people beyond just hitting short-term numbers.2. Performance Improvement Plans can be growth tools – When used correctly, PIPs should guide reps toward improvement, not serve as a punishment.3. Coachability is the key to success – The most successful reps are those open to feedback, willing to adapt, and eager to learn.4. Culture starts at the top – A strong coaching culture must be modeled by leadership and reinforced consistently across the organization.5. Preparation and debriefing matter as much as the meeting – Success comes from doing the pre-work, running the meeting, and reflecting afterward to continually improve.6. Focus on “must-dos” vs. “how-tos” – Clear expectations around the basics (like CRM hygiene) free up time to coach on higher-value selling skills.7. Deeds, not words – Accountability is proven through consistent actions, not promises.8. Get the bad news early – Addressing risks and challenges upfront allows teams to respond effectively instead of scrambling at the last minute.9. Invest in personal development – Ongoing learning, mentorship, and self-improvement are essential to staying sharp and thriving in sales.10. Find mentors and be one – Having someone to guide you (and paying it forward to others) accelerates growth and resilience in a sales career.

In deze aflevering praat ik met Vladan Soldat over het nieuwe Sales Benchmark Report (330 respondenten uit NL, DACH en Nordics). We hebben het over OTE-structuren, waarom een VP Sales soms meer verdient dan een CRO, targets die motiveren, de opkomst van de GTM Engineer en waarom AI-SDR's (nog) geen vervangers zijn. Praktische inzichten voor founders en salesleaders. Belangrijkste inzichten • VP vs. CRO: het basisloon van een CRO ligt hoger, maar de OTE van een VP Sales vaak nog hoger door focus op new business. • Compensatie groeit mee met revenue stage: duidelijke lijn van seed tot 50M+ ARR. • Wat talent écht waardeert: flexibiliteit, mobiliteit en equity (vooral AEs) naast salaris. • Regionale verschillen: Nordics presteren boven target, terwijl Nederlandse reps gemiddeld meer verdienen maar minder attainment halen. • Quota-filosofie: targets moeten stretchen maar niet breken – anders demotiveren ze. • BDR-carrièrepad: niet alleen AE, maar ook richting Senior/Manager of de opkomende rol van GTM Engineer. • AI-SDR: volledige vervanging werkt niet, maar tooling voor enablement maakt nu wel verschil. • Eerste sales hire: reken op ~70–80% van de founder-output in jaar 1. • Overperformance: beloon uitzonderlijke resultaten met accelerators en spiffs. • Europa uitrollen: kopieer comp & targets niet klakkeloos; lokale context is bepalend. Topics die we bespreken • Hoe het benchmarkrapport tot stand kwam (2019 → nu) • Marktwerking vs. “gelijke monniken, gelijke kappen” bij comp • Target setting in early stage en de rol van pipeline-KPI's • Equity als hefboom voor startups in de war on talent • AI en sales: hype vs. realiteit • Lokalisatie van salary bands bij internationale expansie Takeaways voor founders 1. Definieer wat je wilt stimuleren – en plak daar een spiff of kicker op. 2. Houd targets haalbaar maar uitdagend; evalueer ze regelmatig. 3. Compete beyond cash – cultuur, flexibiliteit en equity zijn doorslaggevend tegen Big Tech. 4. Maak BDR's tot een talentpool; denk breder dan alleen AE. 5. Lokale realiteit eerst bij Europese expansie. Quote van Vladan “Het OTE van een VP Sales ligt vaak hoger dan dat van een CRO – omdat nieuw ARR simpelweg harder wordt beloond dan het managen van de totale revenue-huishouding.” Links •

But in recent weeks, we have not been able to resist weighing in on what we think is an excessively bearish consensus view of oil prices—the perceived massive oil glut—that has been weighing heavily on energy equity sentiment since the early April so-called "Liberation Day" tariff announcements that coincided with OPEC+ accelerating the unwind of a series of voluntary production cuts. That double whammy has driven an overwhelming consensus sentiment to be bearish oil demand while also assuming a surge in both non-OPEC and OPEC crude supply would drive oil prices to $50 or lower in 2025. But we are now 5.5 months past that early April bearish shift, and crude oil prices, at least so far, are proving far more resilient than expected even as OPEC+ has made incremental moves to unwind production cuts. Last week in a written post (here), we linked the excessive bearish near-term sentiment to a similar overhang that exists on the long-term oil view, where there is still a lingering let's call it a "net zero world" overhang that crude oil demand will peak in coming years or at best have minimal growth. We have observed that using OPEC Research analyses, rather than the IEA as a baseline, shows far less cyclical or structural crude oil oversupply. Yes, there is a still some softness that might be expected for coming months, but nothing like the "oil glut" that everyone fears.This week we follow up on last week's written post on this topic to set the record straight on a couple of items, address pushbacks to our pushback to anti-oil and gas macro biases in short-term analyses, and raise some new points on the near- and long-term oil macro outlook. There are 4 major areas we will discuss: (1) how we are thinking about OPEC+'s quota unwind; (2) China oil demand; (3) the role of US shale going forward; and (4) is there any chance the oil glut bears could still be proven correct.

With AI Sales Coaching tools being all the rage these days it's hard to understand where the differentiation truly exists. How do you do this at the founder and early stage level for start-ups? Where do avatars, holograms, and leaderboards fit in? How do you innovate in an AI market where things literally change by the day? We tackle these questions and a ton more with our guest, Founder of Avarra.ai, David Knight. And a special guest appearance by Brandon Redlinger as well.

Matt Benelli sat down with Mark Roberge last year, former CRO at HubSpot, Harvard Business School professor, and co-founder of Stage 2 Capital, to challenge some of the most persistent myths in sales leadership. From debunking the idea that top reps make the best managers to exposing why shadowing high performers can actually backfire, this conversation delivers a candid look at why most coaching programs fail to scale and what to do instead.Mark lays out a structured, repeatable approach to frontline coaching that not only boosts individual rep performance but transforms how entire sales organizations operate. He shares why focusing on team attainment is less useful than tracking the percentage of reps hitting quota, how managers can move from reactive fire drills to proactive coaching cycles, and why self-diagnosis is the new sales superpower. If you're a sales leader still stuck on the hamster wheel, this episode offers a way off.Key Takeaways1. Top reps don't make the best managersThe traits that drive individual quota success, such as assertiveness or autonomy, often conflict with the empathy and patience required to coach others effectively.2. Shadowing high performers is not an onboarding strategyNew reps pick up bad habits and unteachable skills when learning only by imitation; structured onboarding with a defined process is more effective.3. Coaching can (and must) scale.A consistent, top-down cadence of rep-by-rep skill diagnosis, action planning, and metric tracking creates scalable coaching across large sales orgs.4. Reps rarely know why they're underperformingWithout data, reps and managers often misdiagnose performance gaps; combining call data and funnel metrics helps uncover the true root causes.5. Managers must move from reactive to proactiveTime-blocked 1:1s tied to skill development, not just deal triage shift coaching from “fire drills” to intentional growth plans.6. Quota attainment by rep is the real health metric.Overall team attainment hides unhealthy reliance on a few stars; the percentage of reps hitting quota shows true team performance and scalability.

In this unfiltered episode of The E1B2 Collective, I talk about something too many revenue leaders miss: career mapping for AEs who don't fit the traditional mold. Not every seller is a closer—but that doesn't mean they aren't valuable. Some build trust. Some extend customer lifetime value. Some become the bridge to new markets, new partners, and long-term growth.I've seen too many talented AEs mismanaged, undervalued, and pushed out because they didn't meet a narrow definition of success. This episode is a call to rethink how we design sales orgs—with learning academies, better mentorship, and room for real human contribution beyond the number.

In this freestyle riff from the Culture Over Quota series, AJ gets deep on two overlooked truths in modern sales orgs: span of control and change readiness. How many AEs can a leader actually lead well? And when new markets, products, or pivots hit the roadmap—are your people built to bend or break? AJ explores the hidden impact of ego, strategy fatigue, and team misdesign. Drawing from real-world scars, he shares how to spot when your team was built for phase two, not from the mud, and why org design and leadership development must move in lockstep with go-to-market ambition.If you lead with heart, data, and the nerve to challenge the norm—this one's for you.

Whether you're a sales manager, team lead, or AE looking to self-diagnose, this framework will help you stop treating symptoms—and start solving the real problem.

In this unscripted firestorm of a rant, AJ Vaughan channels the spirit of Gary Vee to challenge the fractured foundation of HR Tech sales.

In a world spinning faster than ever—burnout rising, trust fraying, attention splintered—the way humans behave at work is shifting... and HR leaders are feeling it in their budgets, buying cycles, and belief systems. This episode dives into the critical need for a reset: not just in tools or tech stacks, but in how we think about value, urgency, and what people actually need. From vendor fatigue to decision paralysis, we explore how emotional turbulence and behavioral chaos are quietly rewriting the rules of HR tech sales—and what both buyers and sellers must do to adapt. If you're in the business of building, selling, or buying HR tech, this one's your compass in the storm.
Your quota doesn't take a summer vacation, so your pipeline-building efforts can't afford to either. This is a reality check. Summer is coming fast, and if you don't get your pipeline positioned for success now, you'll be scrambling come mid-July. The summer sales slowdown is a documented phenomenon across almost every industry. According to data from HubSpot, prospecting response rates can drop by as much as 25% between June and August. Appointment conversion rates decline by similar percentages. And overall deal velocity—how quickly opportunities move through your pipeline—slows dramatically during this period. Why does this happen? It's simple: Decision-makers take vacations. Buying committees become fragmented with staggered time off. Business momentum slows as organizations shift to a summer mindset. And you are distracted with the pool, the beach, your kids, and fun travel. Salespeople Wait Until it is Too Late That's reality. Now, here's the brutal truth. Each summer salespeople make the same bad mistake—they wait until they're already in the summer slump to try to climb out of it. By the time they realize their pipeline is drying up in late June, it's already too late to course-correct, leading to stress and anxiety as their sales numbers and income drop as the temperature rises. If you are not focused on building your summer pipeline now, you are in big damn trouble. First, your prospects become harder to reach, which means your connection rates drop. With lower connection rates, you get fewer meetings. Fewer meetings lead to fewer opportunities entering your pipeline. Meanwhile, your existing pipeline is moving slower than normal due to vacation schedules. These factors don't just add up—they multiply. And here's the kicker—while you're experiencing this slowdown, your quota isn't taking a vacation. Your revenue targets remain unchanged. In fact, for many organizations, Q3 is when quota ramps up higher and the pressure really starts to build to hit annual targets. The Sales Psychology of Going Into Summer Prepared to Make Quota Beyond the pure mathematics of pipeline building, there's a psychological advantage to preparing now. When you're proactively filling your pipeline ahead of the summer slowdown, you operate from a position of confidence and abundance. Sales professionals who hit the summer slump with a thin pipeline typically find themselves in panic mode. When you're in panic mode, prospects can sense it. Your conversations become more about your needs than theirs and your willingness to discount increases. These behaviors ultimately reduce deal profitability and your income, and damage your relationships with potential customers. Contrast this with the sales professional who's already built a healthy summer pipeline. They can approach each conversation with genuine curiosity and patience. They can focus on value creation rather than transaction acceleration. They can maintain price integrity because they're not desperate for the deal. And they can actually have summer fun rather than summer stress. Double Down on Prospecting Now The simple reality is that connecting with prospects will get harder during summer. So you need to double your outreach volume now. If you normally make 30 prospecting calls daily, bump that to 60 for the next six weeks. The 30-Day Rule states that the prospecting you do in this 30-day period will pay off for the next 90 days. In other words, the seeds you plant today will determine your harvest in July and August. Knowing your pipeline is healthy going into summer allows you to enjoy any vacation time you take without constantly checking emails. When you're not scrambling for deals, you can be more selective about which opportunities you pursue, focusing on ideal customer profiles rather than anyone with a pulse. A well-built summer pipeline might actually allow you periods of lower activity that you can use for s...
