There's a call for compulsory nationwide lifejacket use following the death of a 10-year-old boy in the Manukau Harbour. Ryder Ferregel and his mother, Gemma, died in November 2022 after a boat carrying five people capsized near Clarks Beach. They both drowned after hours of clinging to the overturned hull and even after reaching the relative safety of a sandbar. In Coroner Erin Woolley's findings, she says had the pair been wearing lifejackets, their chances of surviving would have significantly increased. Coastguard Regional Manager Jonny Bannister told Kerre Woodham it should absolutely be legislated for on a national level. He says that there's about eight different variations around the country as to what is required, but Coastguard New Zealand is actively campaigning to make it compulsory across the country.

Sam is also a board member of the Responsible Flushing Alliance and was a Regional Manager and a founding team member at Party Degree, where he catalyzed the growth of one of its branches to over seven figures in annual event and nightclub sales.

Operations-focused entrepreneur Sam Nebel scaled his brand by committing to operational excellence, product superiority, and category leadership. He emphasizes the importance of establishing supplier relationships early, hiring specialized talent to elevate execution, and prioritizing product quality and the consumer experience.

Hello, I'd really like to grow this email list. If you enjoy this newsletter, it would mean the world to Jola and I if you encouraged one friend/fellow immigrant/colleague to subscribe…Very likely, the the only thing you will get in return is warm fuzzy feelings, and if I can attribute it to you, I'd personally send you a thank you email.Join us as we explore the bitter-sweet world of the immigrant.In this episode, I'm speaking with Clint Boodram, Regional Manager, Business Development for Western Canada at TD Bank. Clint moved to Canada from Trinidad when he was in Grade 9, over 40 years ago. On landing in Toronto, everything looked normal. But on the plane ride to Edmonton, “I found myself surrounded by people I saw on TV,” he says. Immigrating to Alberta at that time meant Clint literally knew every Black person in his community. “I remember walking around going to different events, just going to the gym, hanging out. I kind of knew every Black person," he says. Fast forward to today, Clint struggles to keep up with the new faces he comes across daily. While he's proud of the progress the Black community has made, Clint remains committed to building a welcoming support system for newcomers. His goal? “All I want people to remember is that if they need anything, they can call Clint.”In this conversation, Clint and I explore the concept of systemic change as a marathon, not a sprint. We also chat about:* Transitioning to high school in Canada * Raising kids * Community building and holding space for the next generation* Why we can't recreate the home we often miss* Cultural adaptation without losing your identityOfficial Links✅ Connect with Clint Boodram on LinkedInOne AskIf you found this story helpful, please forward or share it to one immigrant out there.

Get an inside peek at what life on the road is like for Regional Manager Mike Hughes on this week's podcast episode!
The agricultural equipment market is experiencing a remarkable recovery in 2025, defying early predictions and showcasing surprising strength across multiple categories. This episode of America's Land Auctioneer dives deep into these market dynamics with Chris Bair, Regional Manager at Pifer's Worthington-Sioux falls office, who shares firsthand insights from recent highly successful auctions.Bair reveals how their March auction became "the strongest sale in almost five years," setting the stage for a robust spring season. The conversation explores the fascinating phenomenon of pre-COVID equipment commanding premium prices, with examples like a 2012 John Deere 4830 sprayer recently fetching $171,000—breaking a three-year price ceiling. Meanwhile, newer equipment faces accelerated depreciation of $1,000-1,500 per hour, creating a market environment where quality used machinery has become increasingly attractive to buyers calculating operational costs.The heart of the discussion focuses on auction methodologies and how Pifer's has evolved to maximize returns for sellers while maintaining their commitment to the live auction experience. Despite technological advances, over 50% of auction value still comes from on-site buyers, and research indicates roughly 16% of American farms lack internet access altogether. This reality has shaped Pifer's hybrid approach—combining the energy and momentum of live auctions with sophisticated online bidding platforms that together engage up to 1,400 bidders per event.Particularly fascinating is the company's strategic pivot from timed online-only auctions to "live online" formats that allow equipment to remain at owners' locations while still benefiting from live auctioneer engagement and multiple bidding platforms. As Bair eloquently states, "Technology should never replace the auctioneer. Technology should always complement the auctioneer."The episode concludes with previews of upcoming auctions, including the May 13th Summer Equipment Auction in Worthington featuring construction equipment, vehicles, and recreational items, along with several farm retirement auctions throughout the Upper Midwest. Whether you're looking to buy or sell agricultural equipment, this episode provides valuable market intelligence and strategic insights that could significantly impact your next auction experience.Follow at www.americalandauctioneer.com and on Instagram & FacebookContact the team at Pifer's
In this episode, we sit down with Kevin Birch, Regional Manager at CNA Surety, to explore best practices for contractor ESOPs. A key theme throughout our conversation is communication—and lots of it. One of the biggest mistakes a contractor can make is surprising their surety with news of an ESOP transaction. Kevin strongly recommends that contractors—whether general or specialty—get their surety agent and company involved early in the process. Doing so allows the proposed ESOP structure to be reviewed and vetted, ensuring buy-in from your surety partner. Throughout the podcast we discuss how critical it is to present models that illustrate valuation, cash flow projections, debt structure, and pro forma balance sheets. These elements are essential for the surety to properly underwrite the transition and help avoid issues with your bonding line after the ESOP is in place.

Teen-Turn, a charity dedicated to empowering young women from underserved and underrepresented communities to pursue STEM careers, delivered its spring "Teen-Turn Super Session" at the University of Limerick on Saturday, April 5th. The event brought together over 60 girls from Connacht and Munster for a day of hands-on learning, mentorship, and exploration of university life. Teen-Turn Super Sessions are a key part of Teen-Turn's mission to provide the training and support necessary for girls to make informed decisions about their educational and career paths, particularly in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). With the guidance of industry professionals, university staff, and Teen-Turn alumni, participants engage in intensive, collaborative sessions, upskilling and working on their current after-school program projects and gaining invaluable insights into the world of STEM. This Super Session focused on guiding girls working in teams to code mobile apps that address real-world challenges. The girls also developed accompanying business plans, marketing strategies and pitches, which will be showcased at a Technovation Regional Pitch Event in May. Technovation activities aim to equip girls aged 10-18 with the skills to become tech entrepreneurs and leaders. "We were thrilled University of Limerick was able to host this Super Session event and to introduce the girls to the campus, explore the opportunities within the Computer Science and Immersive Software Engineering departments and meet the incredible staff and students there," said Iseut Mangan, Regional Manager for Teen-Turn. "For some of these girls, this was their first time visiting a university campus and it was an exciting moment that could shape their future educational and career choices. By familiarising themselves with the campus, they can better visualise themselves as university students. The support they receive from mentors is essential in helping them believe in themselves now so as to achieve a STEM career in the future." The Teen-Turn Super Session featured mentors specifically from the Immersive Software Engineering department at UL, who guided the girls through coding exercises, app development, and business plan creation. Additionally, some of Teen-Turn's alumnae, who participated in many Super Sessions during their journey with Teen-Turn and are now first-year students in Immersive Software Engineering at UL and Biomedical Engineering in MTU, joined the event as a peer mentors, sharing their experiences and offering advice to the girls. Teen-Turn's programmes, including after-school activities, Saturday PLUS clubs, and work placements, provide girls with the skills, confidence and resources to navigate the STEM education system and make informed decisions about Leaving Certificate subject choices and third-level course options. Teen-Turn remains with the girls throughout their journey, from Junior Cert to job, offering continued support through college years and into the workforce. By connecting participants with female role models in the industry, Teen-Turn ensures that girls from all backgrounds have access to the tools and inspiration they need to succeed. "We believe that no girl should be limited by her background, home circumstances or geography when it comes to choosing a career in STEM," said Iseult Mangan. "The programmes we offer start at second level and continue with the girls through college and into the workforce. We help break down barriers and create a supportive community where girls can thrive, explore their potential, and set their sights on a future in technology and innovation." This Super Session event underscored Teen-Turn's ongoing commitment to skilling and supporting the next generation of female leaders in STEM.

Guest: Cole Strauss Guest Bio: Leading the Texas region at igus Inc., I focus on nurturing customer relationships and driving new business development through strategic leadership and industrial sales acumen. My role involves guiding our sales force, negotiating high-value contracts, and ensuring our mission of being the easiest company to deal with is realized with every customer interaction. I am currently transitioning into the National Sales Manager role for Chainflex Cables, effective January 2025. I hold an Engineering degree from Texas State University and an MBA from UT Permian Basin. Before joining Igus, I worked for John Deere, Continental Automotive, and Vehicle Monitor Corporation, gaining experience in manufacturing, engineering, and sales. I live in San Antonio, TX with my wife, Kelsie, our son, Beckett, and our two dogs Lady and Cleo. I spend most of my free time with family and friends but also spend some alone as an avid outdoorsman who appreciates the relaxation only the woods can offer. Key Points: Role & Background: Cole is the new National Sales Manager for Igus, Inc., a role he has held for 14 days. He has an engineering degree from Texas State University and an MBA from the University of Texas Permian Basin. Before his current role, Cole worked as a manufacturing engineer and transitioned into sales at Igus, Inc over the last four and a half years. He started as a Territory Sales Manager and later became a Regional Manager. Company Mission: Igus's mission is to be "the easiest company to deal with" in every customer interaction. This is central to their customer service philosophy. Cole explains that being easy to deal with involves being responsive, providing reliable support, and ensuring customers receive solutions, even if those solutions come from other departments. It's about building trust and being an advisor, not just a salesperson. Strategic Partnerships: Cole plans to grow sales revenue through both external and internal strategic partnerships. External partnerships include working with distributors and catalog houses, while internal partnerships focus on better alignment between outside and inside sales teams to improve customer service and product offerings. Sales Philosophy: Igus aims to sell on the value of their products, even if they are priced higher than competitors. Cole emphasizes showing customers the long-term cost savings through product durability and fewer replacements. Changing the mindset of outside salespeople from focusing on immediate low cost to emphasizing lifetime costs and return on investment is key. Sales Team Management: Cole prioritizes attitude over experience when hiring. He believes a good attitude is more important than technical experience because the right attitude leads to success in the sales process. He values teamwork, with a focus on communication and ownership within the team, helping people take the next step in their careers. Hiring Process: When hiring, Cole looks for candidates with the right attitude and a basic mechanical background. He emphasizes finding people who are reliable, accountable, and have a strong work ethic. He also uses personal referrals to assess candidates' true character. Challenges in Sales Management: Cole acknowledges that managing a large sales team (about 50 territory managers) means dealing with many problems simultaneously. His engineering background helps him troubleshoot and find solutions without panicking, ensuring that issues are resolved efficiently while balancing internal and external needs. Work-Life Balance: Cole mentioned the challenge of managing a team while balancing work and personal life, sharing a humorous anecdote about how he sometimes struggles to "turn off" his problem-solving mindset even at home.

For gaming, for instance, it's important to explore strategies to re-engage users post-install with a focus on maintaining engagement, building loyalty, and also increasing lifetime value.”(14:16-14:32) Hide - Japan & Korea: “What we sometimes see is a lot of collaboration. Let's say a specific game does a collaboration with an anime character, a Disney character, or even specific brands. During these collaborations, game developers want to really push their advertising spend, including retargeting.”(8.41-9.09) Maria - INSEA: "We've seen finance apps really taking off. One of the reasons for that is there is a big push across SE Asia for cashless payments, but we also see a trend in microloans as well.
