Automotive enthusiasts, buckle up for a three-course journey through the cutting edge of electric vehicles, the rarified world of elite car collections, and the rugged charm of an off-road icon reborn.We start by examining Volvo's latest electric offering—the 2025 EX40 Twin Motor Ultra AWD. Built in Belgium on the framework of last year's XC40, this all-electric crossover brings 402 horsepower and advanced pixel headlight technology to the premium EV segment. However, not everything about modern technology improves the driving experience. The EX40's touchscreen-centric control system requires four separate taps just to power down the vehicle—an unnecessarily complex solution to a problem that never existed. Despite these interface frustrations, the EX40 delivers competitive performance against rivals from Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Genesis, though at a premium price point starting at $62,045 for the Ultra trim.We then explore automotive passion at its most extreme with a tour of the world's most impressive car collections. From Dmitry Lomakov's Soviet-era treasures in Moscow to Ken Lingenfelter's performance-focused American muscle cars, these collections represent deep dedication to automotive preservation. The Sheikh of Abu Dhabi specializes in off-road vehicles including a massive Mercedes monster truck, while the Sultan of Brunei reigns supreme with approximately 7,000 vehicles valued at $5 billion—including 600 Rolls-Royces, 450 Ferraris, and numerous one-off custom creations that exist nowhere else.Finally, we take the wheel of the 2024 Land Rover Defender, Slovakia's boxy tribute to off-road capability. With its distinctive silhouette and doors that "shut like an old Norge refrigerator," the Defender combines rugged charm with modern luxuries. The mild-hybrid powertrain delivers 395 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, propelling this 5,000-pound fortress with surprising efficiency. While the $81,923 as-tested price positions it against premium competitors like the Lexus GX and Jeep Wagoneer, current import tariffs present challenges for Land Rover's supply chain.Whether you're fascinated by electric innovation, dream car collections, or capable off-roaders, join us for these automotive explorations that showcase the breadth and depth of today's automotive landscape.

Automotive passion knows no borders in this fascinating exploration of European racing heritage and the world's most extraordinary car collections. We're joined by Lincoln Small, author of "Abarth Radborn Racing and Me," who transports us to the vibrant racing scene of 1960s Britain and Italy. Lincoln shares how he discovered Abarth's modified Fiats "like an epidemic" across Italy before bringing the underdog brand to compete against Britain's beloved Mini Coopers. His firsthand account reveals how these tiny, lightweight Italian machines with minimal horsepower managed to "humiliate lots of very large engine cars" through exceptional handling and engineering.The conversation shifts to the business side of racing as Lincoln explains how he established Radborn Racing and created a network of dealerships offering Abarth parts and conversion services throughout the UK. Though our international connection was unfortunately cut short, the interview provides a rare glimpse into a fascinating chapter of European motoring history.Jeff takes us on a journey through the world's most impressive automotive collections, from Dmitry Lomakov's Soviet-era military vehicles in Moscow to Ken Lingenfelter's performance-driven treasures in Michigan. We discover Gary Duncan's Japanese car obsession featuring 100 Nissan Fiegos, the "Rainbow Sheikh's" $2.3 billion off-road vehicle museum in Abu Dhabi, and the mind-boggling collection of the Sultan of Brunei – 7,000 vehicles worth approximately $5 billion, including 600 Rolls-Royces and 450 Ferraris.Whether you're fascinated by racing history, rare automobiles, or just wondering what someone does with 7,000 cars, this episode satisfies your automotive curiosity.

A seductive stranger, a drugged drink, and a bathtub full of ice—discover why the most terrifying urban legend about organ theft is medically impossible, even though millions still believe it could happen to them.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: When hiring a ghost writer, you are paying someone to do some or even all of the writing of a book or novel for you – using your notes and outline – without taking any credit for themselves. But on the flip side, there are books written who give all credit to the ghost writers… because those ghost writers are literally authors who are ghosts. (Paranormal Prose: Books Written By Ghosts) *** When getting married, it's always best to tell your future spouse everything about yourself – no matter how sordid it might be. For if the news comes out after you've taken your vows, not only might it lead to divorce – but it could also lead to murder! (A Double Murderer Murdered) *** And while we're on the subject of marriage device – it's also never a good idea to cheat on your spouse, not matter how powerful and influential you are in society. That too can lead to brutal murder, very possibly your own, as Harvey Burdell found out. (Bond Street Tragedy) *** There are numerous eerie tales of the supernatural involving ghost brides and haunted wedding dresses. It makes you wonder if you plan on saying “I do”, if you're not also welcoming a residual haunting once “til death do us part” arrives. (Ghostly Bride of America) *** It happened in September of 2022 – hundreds of students all across the country of Mexico just fainted with no warning, while those around them were perfectly fine. Authorities still aren't sure they have found the explanation. (The Case Of Passed Out Pupils) *** Berkely Square is one of the most famous places in London, known for its beautiful garden and upscale living. Winston Churchill once lived here, as did Charles Rolls – cofounder of Rolls-Royce. The location has also been used for works of fiction, such as the television miniseries “Berkeley Square”, and even the home of fictional character Cathy Lane – Patty Lane's “identical cousin” from “The Patty Duke Show” on television. But Berkely Square also has a dark side – a building in the middle of the square, said to contain something not of this earth. (The Indescribable Beast of Berkely Square) *** But first… look out men, if you are approached by a beautiful woman seemingly out of nowhere – remember the saying: “if it's too good to be true, it probably is.” She may be less interested in your looks or money – and more interested in whats on your insides. Literally. We begin there! (Kidney Crooks)ABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar.

  Blade Tooling, based in Pershore, has recently taken control of its wire-cutting EDM operations by investing in the Excetek V400G CNC wire EDM machine, supplied by Warwick Machine Tools. This decision was prompted by capacity shortfall that resulted in reliance on outsourcing for wire EDM services. Established over four decades ago, Blade Tooling began as a family-owned business specialising in lost wax pattern dies for the investment casting industry. After financial difficulties in 2011, it was acquired by Gardner Aerospace, supporting aerospace manufacturers including Rolls-Royce, Pratt & Whitney and Siemens. However, in 2017, Gardner Aerospace's acquisition by a Chinese company created challenges. Company Director Ian Cerrone explains: “Because of what we do to support cast turbine blade production, a lot of customers walked away. They did not want their intellectual property potentially shared with China. The perceived risk was there, and our order book suffered.” Sales dropped from £6m to £3m by 2022. Following negotiations, Blade Tooling became part of GIL Investments in March 2024. “Previous customers have come back and we have signed nine new NDAs in the last 12 months. We are now UK-owned, and former concerns have been removed,” says Cerrone. With new ownership came investment. “We were spending a lot on subcontract wire eroding. I said to the new owner, ‘For what we're spending, we could buy our own machine.' The answer was, ‘Well, why haven't you then?' It was quite refreshing,” Cerrone reflects. Blade Tooling relies heavily on CNC wire erosion for core tooling, essential for creating sacrificial ceramic cores that form intricate airflow paths within cast turbine blades. The hardened tools require wire erosion to create holes for pins, apertures, slots, and slides. “We had to send work to subcontract wirers because we didn't have capacity,” Cerrone recalls. After researching Excetek machines and noting positive reviews, he contacted nearby Warwick Machine Tools in Droitwich. A demonstration at their showroom proved the Excetek V400G was perfect for Blade Tooling's requirements. With 400 by 300mm travel and ability to accommodate workpieces up to 500kg, the machine offers versatility in a compact design. The standout feature is its auto wire feed. “All reviews stated the auto wire feed was unbelievable. The machine never stops, it just keeps feeding. Our other machine is forever stopping overnight,” says Cerrone. The new machine has given Blade Tooling control over production schedules. Previously, subcontracting left them reliant on others. “We've had jobs scrapped due to delays. If the promised delivery by Monday arrived Friday, those four lost days would have put us behind on tight lead times.” Now, with doubled capacity, they control their timeline. Looking ahead, the company is expanding from 35 to 45 staff and aiming to return to £6m turnover. Cerrone concludes: “What we make relies on high-end engineering. Every person here has pride in what they do, and everything is bespoke. Our people rely on the equipment we invest in, and we are very pleased to have installed the Excetek V400G.”

In this episode, we visit a city with a powerful story to tell about invention and reinvention. Bristol, in the southwest of England, is famous for its engineering heritage, creative industries, and independent spirit. Today it is forging a national reputation bold plans for sustainable and inclusive growth. We explore how leaders, entrepreneurs, and community organisations are working together to create a city that works for everyone.

Guest Scott Hamilton is fresh from the Paris Air Show, and we talk about next-generation aircraft and engines, industry sustainability, the supply chain, and Boeing's path back. Also, an NTSB safety recommendation for the CFM Leap-1B engine, and the possibility of restarting production of the C-17. Guest Scott Hamilton Scott Hamilton is the Founder and Managing Director of Leeham Company and has spent more than four decades in the commercial aviation industry. Leeham News and Analysis has been a go-to source for spotting trends and providing verified, credible, relevant aviation news that's impartial and unbiased. Leeham Consulting Services provides expertise in several areas, including aircraft economic analysis, lease and return condition analysis and negotiations, aircraft product and strategy analysis, fleet planning and contract negotiations, market demand analysis, and MRO strategy. In our conversation with Scott, we looked at some of the technologies that may appear in next-generation aircraft. That includes ducted and unducted engines, as well as developments with geared fans. In public, the OEMs tout their own technology choices, but in reality, they are quietly working on multiple options. We touch on Boeing's ability to make the financial investment required to proceed with a single-aisle replacement, and on the company's path to recovery. Scott provides some observations on this year's Paris Air Show, including the low-key participation by Boeing. Scott offers his thoughts on electric aircraft, alternative fuels, and the airline industry goal for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Scott's book, Air Wars: The Global Combat Between Airbus and Boeing, was published in 2021. This coming September, a sequel titled The Rise and Fall of Boeing and the Way Back will be published and available on Amazon. Follow Leham News and Analysis on X, Bluesky, and Facebook. Aviation News Boeing Calls For Next-Gen Engine Info For Future Single Aisle Boeing issued a request for information (RFI) to engine manufacturers for advanced ducted propulsion systems in the 30,000-lb-thrust class. That thrust class is suitable for powering a future single-aisle replacement for the 737. Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney are likely to respond to the RFI with geared, ducted turbofans, which they are proposing to Airbus for its next-generation single aisle (NGSA). CFMI will likely respond with a ducted engine based on technology from its Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engine (RISE) unducted open fan program. Engine makers tout “Plan A” but have “Plan B” backups in R&D Each engine OEM has a vision for future engines (open fan, ducted fan, geared fan), but is each company also developing an alternative at the same time? PW's sister company, Pratt & Whitney Canada, has publicly disclosed its development of an Open Fan engine for a new 70-100-seat aircraft designed by the start-up company MAEVE Aerospace. See: Maeve Redesigns Its Hybrid-Electric Regional Aircraft MAEVE Aerospace concept. NTSB issues rare safety bulletin about potential issues with Boeing 737 Max engines Two bird strike incidents in 2023 with CFMI LEAP-1B engines caused smoke to enter the ventilation system. The NTSB has issued an urgent safety bulletin, asking operators to inform flight crews of the potential hazard and calling for modifications to engine software. The NTSB notes that Boeing has revised flight manuals. GE Aerospace says it had already made changes. See: NTSB Recommends Modifications to LEAP-1B Engines The NTSB found that the engine load reduction device, or LRD, a safety feature designed to reduce the severity of vibrations transmitted from a damaged engine to the airframe, can result in damage to the engine oil system. Such a condition can allow smoke from hot oil to enter the ventilation system and ultimately the cockpit or passenger cabin. Boeing in Talks to Restart C-17 Production

Il potere d'acquisto delle famiglie si conferma su un sentiero di crescita nei primo trimestre 2025 che, iniziato nel primo trimestre 2023, era stato interrotto solo durante l'ultimo trimestre del 2024. Nello stesso arco temporale, i dati mostrano un lieve aumento della propensione al risparmio, stimata su livelli relativamente alti rispetto a quelli medi degli ultimi tre anni. Secondo l'Istat il reddito disponibile delle famiglie consumatrici è salito dell'1,8% rispetto al trimestre precedente in termini nominali, i consumi sono cresciuti dell'1,2%. La propensione al risparmio è stimata al 9,3%, in rialzo di 0,6 punti percentuali. Il potere d'acquisto delle famiglie è cresciuto rispetto al trimestre precedente dello 0,9%, scontando un aumento dello 0,9% dei prezzi. A giugno 2025, secondo le stime preliminari, l'inflazione sale leggermente portandosi all'1,7% dall'1,6% di maggio. L'Istat precisa che l'aumento dei prezzi al consumo su base mensile è dello 0,2%.Nel primo trimestre del 2025 il quadro di finanza pubblica registra un indebitamento maggiore rispetto allo stesso periodo dell'anno precedente, a causa di una crescita più marcata delle uscite rispetto alle entrate. Secondo i dati Istat, nei primi tre mesi di quest'anno l'indebitamento netto delle amministrazioni pubbliche in rapporto al Pil è stimato al -8,5% (-8,2% nello stesso trimestre del 2024). Il saldo primario delle Amministrazioni pubbliche (indebitamento al netto degli interessi passivi) è risultato negativo, con un'incidenza sul Pil del -4,7% (-4,8% nel primo trimestre del 2024).Il commento di Mariano Bella, direttore Ufficio studi Confcommercio.Segni di distensione tra USA e CanadaIl Canada nella prima mattina italiana ha annunciato la sospensione della tassa sui servizi digitali (DST) per le big tech americane tra cui Alphabet, Meta e Amazon nel tentativo di riavviare i colloqui commerciali con Washington. Questa distensione tra Canada e Stati Uniti arriva due giorni dopo che il Presidente americano ha interrotto i colloqui, descrivendo la digital tax come un "colpo diretto ed evidente" agli Stati Uniti. Il primo ministro canadese Mark Carney e il presidente Donald Trump hanno concordato di riprendere formalmente i negoziati con l'obiettivo di raggiungere un accordo entro il 21 luglio. La tassa, introdotta lo scorso anno con un'aliquota del 3%, avrebbe comportato un esborso stimato in 5,9 miliardi di dollari canadesi in cinque anni da parte delle imprese USA, e rischiava di provocare pesanti ritorsioni. Trump aveva dichiarato venerdì di aver sospeso i colloqui e minacciato tariffe aggiuntive sui beni canadesi, promettendo novità entro una settimana. Il Canada, primo fornitore di acciaio e alluminio agli Stati Uniti, è già soggetto a un regime tariffario autonomo.Entrano poi oggi in vigore le riduzioni tariffarie per i prodotti automobilistici e aerospaziali britannici esportati negli Stati Uniti. Lo ha annunciato il governo di Londra, che ha definito l'accordo con Washington un "importante sostegno" ai settori strategici nazionali. L'intesa, siglata a maggio, prevede il taglio dei dazi sulle auto dal 27,5% al 10% (fino a un massimo di 100mila veicoli all'anno) e la rimozione dei dazi del 10% sui motori aeronautici, come quelli prodotti dalla Rolls Royce. In cambio, il Regno Unito ha accettato di aprire il proprio mercato a maggiori quantità di etanolo e carne bovina statunitense con riserva sul rispetto degli standard sanitari britannici. Nonostante i progressi, resta aperta la questione delle esenzioni sui dazi per acciaio e alluminio (attualmente al 25%), su cui si continua a negoziare senza una scadenza definita.Alessandro Platerotti, direttore di Newsmondo.it è intervenuto ai microfoni di Sebastiano Barisoni.Ecco nuovo decreto flussi, 500mila ingressi in 3 anni. Ma lo strumento funziona?È terminata nel primo pomeriggio dopo circa mezz ora a palazzo Chigi la riunione del Consiglio dei ministri. All esame del governo ci dovrebbe essere stato il decreto flussi con cui vengono definite le quote di ingressi dei migranti regolari. Il Dpcm dovrebbe consentire consentire 500mila arrivi per il triennio 2026-2028 tra lavoratori stagionali e non, colf e badanti.Nello specifico dopo i 450mila del triennio 2023-2025. Il governo si prepara a varare il nuovo decreto flussi che stabilisce 164.850 quote per il 2026, 165.850 per il 2027 e 166.850 per il 2028.Il percorso di approvazione prevede che venga poi inviato al Parlamento, per i pareri delle Commissioni parlamentari competenti, e alla Conferenza Stato Regioni, prima di tornare in Consiglio dei ministri per l'approvazione definitiva. L'obiettivo è il varo prima della pausa estiva ma i tempi sono stretti.Tra le novità ci dovrebbe essere il debutto della suddivisione delle quote anche su base regionale, per evitare truffe e fare in modo che le quote rispecchino il più possibile i reali fabbisogni di manodopera. Per quanto riguarda il lavoro subordinato non stagionale è inoltre probabile che vengano indicati solo i settori produttivi ammessi e non anche le figure professionali (il decreto flussi 2023-2025 prevedeva oltre ai settori - edilizia, autotrasporto merci per conto terzi, turistico/alberghiero, meccanica, telecomunicazioni, alimentare, cantieristica navale, trasporto passeggeri con autobus e pesca - anche acconciatori, elettricisti e idraulici).La fase di precompilazione delle domande dovrebbe svolgersi in autunno come lo scorso anno ma allungata (era di un mese) per andare incontro alle richieste delle associazioni imprenditoriali poiché l'aumento dei controlli anti truffa introdotto dal Dl 145/2024 ha reso la procedura più complicata. La stretta è riuscita comunque a ridurre fortemente il numero di domande che nella tornata di click day di marzo 2024 erano state oltre 700mila. Nei click day di febbraio 2025 sono state invece 174mila (aggiornamento al 18 marzo scorso) e tranne che per l'assistenza domestica, inferiori delle quote.L'intervento di Enrico Di Pasquale, ricercatore Fondazione Moressa a Focus Economia.

Tensions in the Middle East have reached a critical point. The recent escalation between Israel and Iran, combined with a surprise U.S. bombing raid reportedly ordered by former President Donald Trump, has sent shockwaves through global markets. In this episode, we break down what this means for your money, investments, and the global economy. Watch video version - https://youtu.be/-0se6ml0Iyc Whenever conflict erupts in the Middle East, one of the first indicators to spike is oil prices—and this time is no different. This rise affects everything from transportation costs to food prices, meaning inflation could once again creep into your monthly budget. Managing your money is important especially in uncertain times. Check out my SMART MONEY COURSE - https://bit.ly/4klq0mv Brent Crude could reach $120 or even $130 a barrel if the war escalates or the Hormuz Straights close, according to JP Morgan, which would be disastrous for the world economy. Stock markets have also reacted. Defence stocks rallied, while airline, travel, and tech sectors took a hit. Investors are shifting towards "safe havens" like gold, which jumped 5% in just 24 hours. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar strengthened slightly amid uncertainty, and cryptocurrencies saw mixed movements, with Bitcoin showing volatility as traders assess global risk. UK defence shares, such as BAE (up 30% this year), Babcock (50% rise) and Rolls Royce (41%) following the West's promise to increase defence spending in the wake of the Ukraine war. Beyond markets, the long-term consequences could be even more serious. Rising global tensions may lead to further military spending, reduced investor confidence, and slower economic growth—especially in already fragile economies. What does this mean for everyday people? Expect higher fuel costs, more expensive imports, and potentially increased taxes if governments shift more funding to defence. For investors, diversification and risk management are more important than ever. In this episode of the Money Tips Podcast, I'll explore the broader implications of this geopolitical crisis and offer practical advice on how to protect your finances.

Are you tired of hearing the same old debate about term versus whole life insurance? In this episode, we cut through the noise and reveal why whole life insurance might be the wealth preservation tool you've been overlooking. We explore how successful business owners and high earners use life insurance to protect their assets from market volatility and create guaranteed growth. You'll discover why comparing term and whole life insurance on cost alone is like comparing a Honda to a Rolls-Royce—they're both vehicles, but built for entirely different purposes. We break down the real-world applications of whole life insurance, from creating liquidity during income fluctuations to simplifying wealth transfer after death. Learn how life insurance can provide tax-free distributions, guaranteed accumulation, and protection from economic downturns that other financial instruments simply can't match. We also address the time factor—when you can expect to see positive returns and why patience pays off with this strategy. Whether you're looking to diversify beyond your business, protect generational wealth, or ensure your family avoids probate nightmares, this episode gives you the straight facts about using life insurance as a financial tool. _____________________________ Ready to explore if whole life insurance fits your wealth preservation strategy?

Modi's Explosive Punch to America/Trump - Opts for Su 57, More S-400, Safran, Rolls Royce

Paul Harrold of the Sons of Speed sits in for Jill this week. Tom opened the show noting Ram's decision to return the Hemi-brand V8 to the 1500 powertrain lineup. Ram had replaced the engine with a more powerful and efficient turbocharged six, but customers have rejected the new motor. Still in the first segment, Paul recaps his time in the 2025 Rolls-Royce Phantom II. Paul and Sons of Speed partner Brendan Appel share a video of their test drive of the ultra-luxury British sedan below. In the second segment Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions joins the show. Sam shared his insights into the new, Jeff Bezos-backed Slate Auto EV start-up. The new company is scheduled to have vehicles ready to sell by the end of 2026. Sam also shared his thoughts on the autonomous Tesla Cybercab. The 2-seat, driverless taxi—at least in concept form—has no steering wheel. Tesla plans to have Cybercabs operating in Austin, Texas in the near future. In the last segment, Paul is subjected to Tom's “Dead or Alive for ‘25” quiz. 

“Whoever runs your schedule is the most important person in your world as Leader. You need time to think, time to study and time to get the things done you came to leadership to do. Lose control of the schedule and you will fail.” That is a quote from former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. And it strikes at the heart of mastering time management. Today's episode explores why your calendar is your most important productivity tool.  You can subscribe to this podcast on:  Podbean | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | TUNEIN   Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin The 2025 Summer Sale  Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived The Time Sector System 5th Year Anniversary The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page Script | 373 Hello, and welcome to episode 373 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. Whoever controls your calendar controls you. They can (and often will) destroy your plans for the day, prevent you from doing your most important work and be the reason you fail in your career goals.  If you are a leader, you will likely have plans for your team. In order to implement those plans and move them to completion, you will need time. It's up to you to find that time.  Top leaders understand this. They are very strict with their calendars. Nobody but themselves has control of it. And, probably the most important factor of all, they have the confidence to cancel appointments if those appointments do not align with their weekly or daily strategic plan.  And yes, it's a confidence thing. Nobody, not even your boss, really has control over your time. You always have the option to negotiate an appointment or say no.  In this week's episode, I will share some ideas you can use to get control of your calendar and have the confidence to negotiate appointments and/or say no. So, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Karen. Karen asks, Hi Carl, I lead a team of sixteen people and am struggling to get my work done because my boss and team are always demanding meetings with me. Do you have any tips on protecting time for important work when you don't have control of your calendar? Hi Karen, thank you for your question.  This can appear to be a difficult change to make. Particularly if your team and bosses have become conditioned to you being available whenever they need you.  One of most powerful lessons I learned in my early career was from the so—called “my office door is always open” concept. For those of you not familiar with this concept, it began in the late 80s or early 90s (possibly earlier). This was where bosses used to tell their employees my office door is always open. You can come and talk to me at anytime.  Nice concept. It gave the impression that your boss was approachable. Yet in reality, it was not really a practical way to operate.  It meant that bosses were constantly being interrupted—well, those that we not scary, anyway, The two most productive bosses I had in my early career did follow this policy, yet with one addition. That was to tell us that when their door was closed they were not to be disturbed.  One of those bosses, would close his door every day around 2 pm. He would then use that time to get his most important work done. David, had a secretary, who would hold his calls too. If you needed David between two and four, you had to go through his secretary, Michaela and Michaela protected David's time ruthlessly.  Yet, for the other times in the day, David was available. He'd walk around the office from time to time asking if we were okay. He made himself available.  What happened, was if we needed David for anything, we knew we had to catch him before 2 pm or wait until after 4 pm.  I don't recall anyone complaining. The Managing Partner of the firm respected it. And so did David's clients—he was a partner in the law firm I worked at.  The key to this working was David's consistency. His team, bosses and clients all knew that David would not be available between two and four.  Since then, every productive person I have met, has operated something very similar. They have periods of time in the day where they are not accessible. In that time they are doing their most important work. That period of time is generally at the same time each day.  I remember, once being on a training course and the instructor, told us she would be available at any time after 11:00 am if we had any questions.  That's it. A simple sentence. “Available at anytime after 11:00 am”. I don't recall any one of us on that training course ever trying to contact her before 11:00 am.  Now, it might not be possible for you to cut yourself off from the outside world at the same time each day—although we all do this when we are sleeping and the world doesn't end, does it?  A lot of this depends on the job you do. I've mentioned before in this podcast the best salesperson I've ever worked with, Claire.  Claire would never be available between 9:00 and 10:30 am. It was during this time she was on the phones prospecting and following up customers. That one strategy was the difference between her and every other salesperson in that company. She outsold her nearest colleague two to one most months.  We worked a nine hour day in that sales job, and Claire was unavailable for just ninety minutes. She was in charge of her diary. That still left her with seven-and-a-half hours where she was available.  So, Karen, the place to begin is to ask yourself how much time do you need each day to stay on top of your work?  Given that a managerial role is largely about communicating with a team and bosses, you will likely need to be available most of your working day. Yet, you will still have some individual work to do. So, how much time do you need to complete that work each week?  You will only be able to work with averages. You will not be able to be specific about how much time you need each week. You're human. Sometimes we are on fire and can plough through a lot of work. Other days, we're tired and anything we do is sluggish and slow.  By working with averages, you're still getting work done and when you are on fire you can catch up.  For instance, on average, I need around 14 hours a week to create my content. This means each day I protect two hours for content creation where nobody can interrupt me. I then have an extra hour or so in the afternoons I keep flexible for finishing off any work.  I allow no more than twenty one hours of meetings each week. 90% of the time that is more than enough for the meetings and coaching sessions I have each week.  I know if I allow more than 21 hours, the additional admin cost and lost time for critical work will mean I have to work late nights and Saturday just to catch up. Not something I am prepared to do.  Earlier, I alluded to “negotiating” appointments.  Imagine you're in the market to buy a Rolls Royce car. (I said imagine). If you call the Rolls Royce dealership, you're going to have to negotiate a day and time. The “sales process” for buying a Rolls Royce is not your typical process. It's an experience.  You're not just buying a typical car. These days, you're buying a unique bespoke car. The salesperson you talk with will need time to go through all the panelling options, Exterior colours and interior seat fabrics, and even the type of material you want your dashboard made from.  The person you speak with when making your appointment, will negotiate a time to visit the showroom. That's part of the experience.  Now if you were in the market to buy a Ford, Toyota, Hyundai or VW, and call to make an appointment, you can name your day and time. The salespeople will very likely accept your first day and time.  Now which experience would leave you feeling special?  If you think about your readiness to accept any appointment at any time, what does that say about you?  Negotiating your appointments elevates your status in the mind of the person wishing to make an appointment with you. The harder it is to get an appointment with you, the more likely you will have a favourable outcome. It's the “you must be important if it's difficult to make an appointment with you”. Try getting an appointment with Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai or Satya Nadala. It's not that they don't do appointments, it's just they restrict the number of meetings they are available for each day and the meetings they do attend must count.  So, if you protect 9:30 to 11:00 am each morning, if someone wants to have a meeting with you during that time, you would say could we meet at 11:30 am instead? 9 times out of 10 your suggested time will be accepted. If not, the person wanting to meet you will likely suggest an alternative time.  If you cannot find a suitable time, then you will have to use your protected time. But with this strategy, it will be very rare that you need to do that.  I promise you, if you do this a few times, your confidence will rapidly improve and you will find that your focus time blocks will be protected.  The challenge we all face today is we feel we must be available at all times for whoever wants to communicate with us. If it's not Teams or Zooms calls, it's instant messages and email. The trick is to become less available.  Be like the Rolls Royce salesperson. Make getting an appointment with you part of the experience. If it's a little harder to get an appointment with you, the person you're meeting is going to be much more open to finding a solution with you there and then, instead of scheduling another meeting with you to “sort the details out”.  Ask yourself, what the worst that could happen if you “negotiate” with the person wanting to meet with you? The worst is they refuse your suggested time and insist you meet them at their preferred time. At that point you can accept.  Yet, I can promise you, the majority of people you negotiate times with will accept your time. The time they chose was completely random anyway. No matter who they are, your boss, your most important customer or whatever, they will thank you for taking the initiative and suggesting a time.  I will end with a recent example of this. I am in the process of changing my car as the lease on my current one is expiring in September. We called the dealership to arrange a test drive in a car I was interested in, and the sales manager informed us that this week they were fully booked up, but they had an opening on Thursday or Friday afternoon next week.  I was both impressed and relieved. Impressed because he did not jump at the chance and suggest we come down that afternoon or tomorrow. I had a sense of scarcity. Relieved because he took the decision for making the appointment out of our hands.  We arranged 1pm the following Thursday and when we arrived, the car was on the forecourt ready and waiting for us. A very impressive experience.  So, there you go, Karen. Don't be afraid to negotiate your appointments and meetings. Build confidence in negotiating interruptions from your team and protect sufficient time for getting your core work done.  Thank you for your question and and thank you to you too. It just remains for me to wish you all a very very productive week.

We review the new Audi RS6 Avant Performance, G99 BMW M5 Touring, Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance and Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. One looks spectacular, one has the most impressive suspension of all time, and one is unbuyable. === This episode is sponsored by Vyper Industrial — America's #1 rated shop chair, tool carts, and creepers, proudly made here in the US.

We've got Jason's blue E30 325i Touring in the garage as we discuss a pair of long-roof autobahn bruisers: the G99 BMW M5 Touring and C8 Audi RS6 Avant Performance. With the cancellation of Porsche's Panamera Sport Turismo, we turn to Porsche's top-spec suppository in its stead: the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. And, similarly, with the E63 wagon gone, we'll review the Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance to tide us over until the new E53 wagon arrives. Starting with the brand new BMW M5 Touring: a letdown as serious as its curb weight. A twin-turbo hot-vee V-8 alongside some EV juice dolls out 717 hp, but long before you're able to stretch its legs the suspension will have you nauseous. It heaves and lunges over road imperfections, and the rear-wheel steering makes it feel like you're perpetually entering the D dimension. Even with new, chunky-sidewalled Pirelli P Zero R tires, the ride is harsh, and the suspension is blatantly unfinished. Do a hard launch and prepare for simultaneous – and yet somehow also out-of-phase – wheelspin and violent pogoing. Things aren't much better styling-wise – the front-end treatment is positively hideous, and there's comparatively little backseat and cargo room next to the Audi. Overall, a huge let down, and a far cry from the delightful G80 M3 (buck teeth aside). Sadly, it will be a long, long while before we can import the G80 M3 Touring. However, it's worth noting that early M products have had teething issues before (including the beloved E90 M3). Jason suggests waiting for the arrival of the Competition Pack, but you'll still be stuck with a gaudy interior and byzantine infotainment system. The Audi RS6 Performance on the other hand is an absolute delight and unexpectedly fabulous. Without the bulk of hybrid batteries, the Audi weighs in at 400 lbs lighter than the Bimmer. It's all-around gorgeous – inside and out – and has loads of room for both passengers and cargo. Its steering is genuinely superior to the BMW's and Jason dubs it the “best wagon in the world.” As for the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid – it's Bose's 1990s dream realized. Jason heralds it as the most impressive suspension he's ever felt – ever. Like if a Rolls-Royce could turn. It comes equipped with the same potent powertrain found in the Bentley Continental GT Speed and Flying Spur, which is so powerful it earned the Porsche the label of quickest 4-door ICE car ever (the 4-door electric monsters still have it beat – the Lucid Air Sapphire and Tesla Model S Plaid both run in the 9s). And lastly, we have Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance – a charmer. The interior is slightly gaudy but otherwise splendid. Our particular car's cabin was a huge improvement over the Macanese bordellos of previous W223s and W222s. The convoluted and clunky drivetrain was an occasional annoyance (and has origins as far back as the first C43 and E63 wagon), but the Benz was mostly a delight to operate despite weighing more than a fully laden minivan – and 3000 lbs more than Jason's E30. The boys wonder why Mercedes has refused to implement the types of suspensions Porsche and Ferrari figured out for their sports cars years ago that allow for ultra-smooth cruising without sacrificing handling. In any case, the S63's ¼-mile time leaves Derek's jaw on the floor. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Trump is touting his trade deal with the U.K., which he bragged will lead to an increased influx in the number of Rolls Royces to the U.S.  He also says that the mounting crisis at America's ports, which could lead to people losing their jobs, is proof that the U.S. economy isn't losing money. It's a real head scratcher. After that, Georgetown professor of Indian politics Irfan Nooruddin is here to help contextualize the ratcheting of tensions between Indian and Pakistan over Kashmir. As Professor Nooruddin points out, both nuclear armed countries have domestic political and economic incentives to forge ahead with this dangerous tit for tat. In the Fun Half, we're joined by the usual Thursday suspects, Matt Binder & Brandon Sutton to check in on Laura Loomer's crusade against top Trump administration officials, this time Pam Bondi (who she refers to as Pam Blondi). Tim Pool is upset that one of his favorite punk band's singers is trans and played at a Bernie rally. After that, Russ, Matt, Brandon and Binder watch some zany clips of Lindy Li talking to Tara Palmeri about her new book (kind of).
