Podcast appearances and mentions of rob minto

"I always felt like I wasn't good enough or I didn't measure up", yet Rob has been used by God in ways he never expected! Hear the story of a man who simply loves people. Host: Tom Weaver

A sustainable creative agency on a journey to make positive change, we caught up with Rob Minto, managing director of The Onlii. Rob talks about his own journey into sustainability, how he was inspired by the B Corp movement and why he set up the Onlii. Aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Rob discusses how these really helped to embed the environment and the bigger picture into the business strategy, he explains, “as part of the collective we went through a process of selecting some of the UN SDGS that we as a business would proactively target and that we could proactively influence”. He goes on to talk about how they work with those SDGs, and how every decision is done through an SDG lens, even going so far as to aligning them and embedding them into everyone's personal objectives. Something that has been hugely inspiring and motivational. Making The Onlii a ‘force for good', Rob talks about how they are continuously learning all the time, and that sustainability is more than just a one off campaign, “we all need to be more aware and look at the whole picture”. In relation to clients, Rob acknowledges that there is a lot to do and that some clients may not be ready for a sustainability focus yet, but they are trying to edge them onto that journey.  We talk about how there are still many challenges around business and marketing transformation in the sustainability space and why it's more important than ever to continue asking big uncomfortable questions and coming up with solutions that ultimately drive things forward. As is the essence of our work, marketing and advertising has a huge role to play in positioning things differently, really considering its impact and very simply, doing what you say you're going to do. We all have a responsibility to do better and educate ourselves and Rob believes this needs to be led from the top. The appetite to change has got to improve otherwise as Rob explains, “those agencies and brands who don't come on the journey will get left behind and won't be here in 10 years”. If you want a great example of how to truly embed sustainability into your business, motivate those around you and get people thinking differently, then tune in and have a listen. There are some brilliant ideas in this one!  Since recording we noticed that all the team on The Onlii took our ‘100 Points Challenge' - and they gave us some excellent feedback on how it's inspired them to keep learning. A simple take away you can do for yourself - or indeed create as a team challenge. More on our 100 Points challenge here - and more on Rob and The Onlii here. ________________________________________________________________ You'll find the Podcast on all the usual pod platforms - and if you love it, do share it and spread the word. Talking about climate change and the role we play is one of the most important things we can do. So join the conversation. We're all in this together.

In this week's Data Day, Luke Barratt is joined by Matteo Moschella to discuss the use of data in sport journalism. Data is omnipresent in the reporting of sport, particularly recently as the closing of the Barclays Premier League January transfer window has prompted a glut of visualisations on the month's top stories. Check out some of the code used by the Guardian on their Github: http://bit.ly/2kqSyj5 Athletes and sports teams are using more and more data nowadays to optimise their performance, but crucially for journalists, the vast audiences drawn by sports demand extensive data. Opta provides detailed data feeds on a number of different sports: http://bit.ly/2kqPWBA While providing this data to users in raw format is common, there is also great scope for journalists to use data to analyse issues in sport. Here, Rob Minto uses data to defend a potential increase of the number of teams taking part in the FIFA World Cup: http://bit.ly/2kr2Sav One crucial area where this kind of journalism has flourished is in predictions. Nate Silver, now renowned as a polling expert, made his name using data to predict the results of baseball games. Visit his site, FiveThirtyEight, which still applies its methods to sport, here: http://53eig.ht/2kqR6Nj Similarly, the Financial Times has built a complicated statistical model to predict the outcome of the 2016/17 Premier League: http://on.ft.com/2kqMHKy Daniel Finkelstein has a weekly column in The Times using similar methods to analyse football. Here, he uses sport to teach his readers a lesson about probability through a parable about the likelihood of giant-killing in the FA Cup: http://bit.ly/2kr0yk5 We've also seen data used for in-depth investigations into sporting issues. Buzzfeed used data from betting markets to uncover indications that certain players had been guilty of match-fixing: http://bzfd.it/2kr5dCj The Sunday Times, meanwhile, in a more traditional piece of data journalism, made use of data from a whistleblower to find evidence of doping throughout the world of athletics: http://bit.ly/2kqVDQb

Former football referee Howard Webb told a story recently that he had been approached by players in the English Premier League asking to be booked so they could be suspended for Christmas so they can get some time off. They have to play extra games over the festive period so work more than usual. One way to get a break is to rack up five yellow cards and be suspended. But would players really try something like that? Tim Harford asks journalist Rob Minto to delve into the data. When trolls started stealing a disabled American boy’s photos and turning them into cruel memes, his mother Jenny decided to start fighting back online. We put her in touch with another mother who fought a very similar battle against the trolls… and won. Everyday millions of us across the world get into our cars and drive but even the calmest person can become a raging demon while driving; screaming and swearing at the other drivers. What is it about driving that makes some people so angry? What can we do to stop it? We speak with professional racing driver Nathalie McGloin about keeping control and Glenn Scherer gives us a lesson in ‘car yoga’ to try and keep the rage away.

Ozil? De Bruyne? Coutinho? Eriksen?
