Fundraising in 2025 isn't business as usual. James Varela, Partner at Rede Partners and Head of MENA, joins us to break down what it really takes to raise capital from LPs—especially in the Middle East. We talk DPI pressure, LP targeting, co-investments, how to build credibility in emerging markets, and the biggest mistake GPs still make when pitching. Whether you're struggling or oversubscribed, this one's for you.[00:00] Intro to James Varela and focus on capital raising in the Middle East.[00:30] James' 15+ years in capital raising across PE, infra, credit, and real estate.[01:26] Fundraising remains tough—macroeconomics and low DPI are key issues.[02:21] LPs cautious; focus shifting to GP quality and DPI visibility.[03:13] GPs turning to NAV lending and creative liquidity tools.[04:05] 66% of LPs now cite DPI as their top investment metric.[04:31] Strong fundraises begin 12 months out—prep is everything.[05:00] Nail your equity story—what sets you apart?[05:26] Focus on LPs where your strategy fits—don't spray and pray.[05:55] Transparency and respect matter more than past returns.[06:26] GPs often fail to systematize and name their edge.[07:25] LPs want proof—not theory—of execution and outcomes.[08:24] Plan 2–3 years out for Middle East fundraising; co-invests are key.[08:55] Content > presence—show up with something to say.[09:52] LPs want honest differentiation, not polished fluff.[10:51] Share what went wrong and what changed—credibility counts.[11:44] Most firms struggle from poor positioning, not poor product.[12:14] Systems reduce risk, especially for global firms.[13:37] Frameworks matter—manage what's out of your control.[14:07] Even top performers can fail at storytelling.[15:02] Reframing the narrative can unlock overlooked value.[16:26] Fundraising is marketing—Rory Sutherland's Alchemy cited.[17:22] Iteration is painful but critical—change takes work.[18:20] LPs care about the future, not just past returns.[19:09] Big firms re-entering mid and small-cap to chase alpha.[19:37] Middle East mistakes: wrong timing, same pitch, poor targeting.[20:34] Use portfolio milestones as conversation openers.[21:04] GCC LPs want both long-term trust and large co-invests.[21:59] Vision and culture alignment matter just as much.[22:29] Targeting is everything—don't chase irrelevant LPs.[22:59] LPs prefer North America, large GPs, proven track records.[23:57] Specialization and sector depth are rising priorities.[24:55] AI and tech are hot in the UAE—substance still matters.[25:54] Growing appetite for GP stakes from Middle East LPs.[26:21] Europe gaining ground as LPs move down-market.[27:14] Top reads: Alchemy, Acquired, Diary of a CEO, Tools of Titans, Atomic Habits.[29:05] Final thoughts: fundraising is either brutal—or it's fine.

Whether you're in public service, business, or the creative sector, Rory's perspective will leave you seeing San Antonio—and its possibilities—in a whole new light.-- -- RECOMMENDED NEXT LISTEN:▶️ #120. Why San Antonio's Future Starts with Early Childhood Education – If Rory Sutherland challenges how we think about cities, this episode shows how San Antonio is rethinking its future from the ground up—literally.

Celebrating 10 years of Recruiting Future! Over the last 10 years, I've interviewed hundreds of TA Leaders as well as CEOs, thought leaders, and the people building the technology that drives the industry forward. Back in 2015, we thought the pace of change was super fast and that the level of disruption was off the scale with social and mobile technologies reshaping how we communicated. In some ways, we might think it was impossible back then to imagine the world we live in now, but many of the changes we see in TA today have been in the works for a long time. The speed of change in talent acquisition is governed by the tension between organizational inertia, which slows things down, and external events like the pandemic, which can cause things to move at lightning-fast speeds. The Generative AI revolution is most definitely in the latter category. We are on the cusp of the most significant changes to TA and recruiting we have ever seen. So, as a TA Leader, how do you manage that change and make sure you and your organization are fit for the future? Over the last few months, I've been using the power of AI to unlock the Recruiting Future archive and model the mindset and behaviours of the most successful TA leaders that I've interviewed. People who have changed how their organizations think about talent, who thrive on disruption as a catalyst for positive change, and who know how to use technology to enable their vision. These leaders all have four things in common. They use foresight to understand and shape the future, they build influence with the most senior stakeholders in their organisation, they think different to create innovative talent strategies and they use the impact of new technologies to accelerate change. Foresight, Influence, Talent and Technology = Fitt This episode features clips from interviews with two TA leaders, two CHROs, a Behavioural Scientist, and a Futurist talking about these four key areas and what you and your teams can do to be fit for the future.

This week: sectarian persecution returns Paul Wood, Colin Freeman and Father Benedict Kiely write in the magazine this week about the religious persecution that minorities are facing across the world from Syria to the Congo. In Syria, there have been reports of massacres with hundreds of civilians from the Alawite Muslim minority targeted, in part because of their association with the fallen Assad regime. Reports suggest that the groups responsible are linked to the new Syrian president Ahmed al-Sharaa (formerly known as Abu Mohammed al-Jolani). For some, the true face of the country's new masters has been revealed. Whether the guilty men are punished will tell us what kind of country Syria has become since the fall of Assad's dictatorship. Speaking to those on the ground, Wood reports of fathers who were shot in front of their families, victims made to howl like dogs as they crawled through piles of corpses, and of state security forces trying to prevent survivors from photographing or talking about what had happened. But to what extent is al-Sharaa responsible? And could other minorities, like the Syrian Christian minority – one of the oldest in the world, be next? Paul and Fr Benedict joined the podcast to discuss. (1:02) Next: this century's ‘unstoppable process of language extinction' There are around 7,000 languages currently spoken across the world, but by the end of the century only 500 are expected to survive. Thus, documenting endangered languages has never been so important and this is the starting point of Lorna Gibb's new book, Rare Tongues: The Secret Stories of Hidden Languages, reviewed by Harry Ritchie in the books section of the magazine this week. What are some examples of the languages facing extinction? And should we accept this as an inevitable cultural rise and fall, or should we be working to combat this? Harry joined the podcast alongside Dr Oliver Mayeux, a sociolinguist at Cambridge, who also speaks Louisiana creole – a language spoken by fewer that 10,000 people. With special thanks to the Endangered Language Alliance, for allowing us to use a clip of the Garifuna language, who are working to document and preserve languages facing extinction across the world. (18:06) And finally: what is ‘Boom Boom', Gen Z's favourite aesthetic trend? Out are boring converse and dirty t-shirts beloved by millennial tech bros and in are high-fashion double-breasted suits and loafers, or so says Arabella Byrne who writes about the aesthetic trend defining Gen Z. American trend analyst Sean Monahan – who also coined 2013's ‘normcore' – coined the term ‘Boom Boom' to encapsulate the look and feel of the trend. Think 1980s yuppies updated for 2025 – so why exactly is it popular, and what does it tell us about today's twentysomethings? Arabella and Sean joined the podcast to discuss.

Hello everyone and welcome back! Thanks for your patience with this episode - it's been a busy few weeks. Today on the podcast we have Rory Sutherland, the Vice Chairman of Ogilvy UK and the founder of the behavioural science practice at Ogilvy. Rory doesn't have a side project that we discuss, but he does have some of the sharpest insights on creative thinking and how to stay creative.Rory is arguably one of the most influential behavioural scientists in the world - his TED talks have over 7 million views. He also writes a column for the Spectator, serves on the advisory board of The Evolution Institute, and is the former President of the IPA (Institute of Practitioners in Advertising). Rory is a master of creative thinking and new ideas. He's written a best selling book called Alchemy: The Surprising Power of Ideas That Don't Make Sense - all about how irrational ideas matter in the age of the rational. In this podcast we talk about all sorts of things - if you've come across Rory before you'll know quite how unwieldy conversation with him becomes. We talk about why he would love to sell air conditioners, why Elon musk should build a modern day trailer business, why he thinks the Industrial Revolution was largely because of good marketing, the homogenisation of modern society, and if he believes AI can ever replace an irrational human mind, and how to sell climate solutions that change behaviour. It's quite the conversation, let me know what you think via comments!Looking for coaching to help you find your own voice and be more creative? Head to outofhours.org/coaching Hosted on Acast.

STUFF FROM THE LOFT - Dave Dye

Imagine a day where you don't own a computer, and you lose your phone just after breakfast.We used to live like that.Every damn day.With virtually no access to information.Researching how to be better at your job wasn't a thing.Advertising people didn't do podcasts or post articles about their work.True, there were books, but not many.Aside from awards annuals, the main two were ‘Ogilvy On Advertising' and ‘Bill Bernbach's Book'.Occasionally you'd photocopy an article from Campaign, Creative Review or Direction magazine.Dave Trott's ‘How To Get Your First Job In Advertising' was the most useful.I had a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy.The text was so faded and broken up it looked like an old religious document.Which it was in a way.It's still great. (I've attached a copy below.)Later, The Copy and Art Direction Books turned up.They were a revelation – good creatives explaining how they create.(If you haven't read Richard Foster's piece do, you'll be a 9% better writer after reading it.)We have the opposite problem today; too much.But it leads to a kind of inertia.A bit like living next to St. Pauls, you put off visiting, because you think ‘it'll be there tomorrow, next week, next year'.The other problem is who is or isn't worth listening to?LinkedIn if packed with people aggressively telling you exactly how to create ads as good as the ones they… like.At the other end of the spectrum are people like Dave Trott, George Tannenbaum, Brian Burch, The Behind The Billboard guys, Rory Sutherland, Ben Kay and many more I'll be embarrassed tomorrow that I forgot to mention.And Steve Hudson.He posts a series called The Power Of Advertising on LinkedIn where he breaks down his (and Victoria Fallon's) ads from nose to tail.From brief to air.What's great about it is the work.A lot of teams have a style or preference, Steve (and Victoria) don't.At least, not that I can spot.What links Audi to Anti-Smoking to One To One to Levi's to Kingshield other than they're all great?The weirdest thing about our chat was realising how short their creative career was.10 years.They took it very seriously, which lead to some great work, but maybe some bad decisions too.Hearing about Steve's career was a bit like watching a horror film.Instead of shouting ‘LOOK BEHIND YOU!' I was shouting ‘DON'T RESIGN TO HEGARTY!' or ‘STAY AT ABBOTT MEAD!'.Anyway, it was a great chat, hope you enjoy it.

I was beyond excited to have him join me on the show.Rory is not only a marketeer, but an expert in behavioural science, talking me through how trends work and change over time.

I also asked him about the best and worst marketing successes and failures, from Ryanair to bubble tea, nuclear power to wearing shorts in winter.This conversation was brimming with great advice - it's definitely a conversation I'll be coming back to; my main takeaway was to never blindly follow logic, but to question and push to boundaries to create something new!You can also follow us on Instagram and Tiktok @greatcompanypodcast and if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.ukIf you or anyone you know has been affected by suicidal thoughts, you can head to CALM to find support: www.thecalmzone.net--THE CREDITSExec Producer: Jemima RathboneAssistant Producer: Gurlina HeerVideo: Jake Ji & Ryley KirbySocial Media: Laura CoughlanGreat Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.

In this compelling episode of Steve's Rants, Steve Sims delves into the transformative power of books in the journey of building a successful business. He shares his top three favorite books that have profoundly impacted his business philosophies, highlighting their relevance in understanding media, psychology, and consumer behavior. Steve kicks off the list with "Trust Me, I'm Lying" by Ryan Holiday, a book that explores the intricacies of media manipulation and the critical role attention plays in the modern economy. He emphasizes the necessity of mastering media's power to enhance business visibility and reputation. Continuing with "Hooked" by Nir Eyal, Steve underscores the importance of understanding consumer psychology and creating products and experiences that foster loyalty and addiction. He explains how this book provides insights into crafting that essential 'stickiness' in customer relationships, vital for any business looking to thrive. The third recommendation, "Alchemy" by Rory Sutherland, taps into human psychology by challenging logical conventions and embracing creative magic. Steve appreciates how this book encourages thinking beyond logic to understand why people engage with brands, urging entrepreneurs to embrace disruption and difference. Steve rounds off his recommendations with a unique fourth choice: a genre mixing imagination with reality. He advocates for stepping out of the business realm to refresh and inspire creativity through crime dramas and fantasy. This episode is an essential listen for entrepreneurs eager to understand the dynamics of attention and consumer engagement, urging them to blend logical strategies with imaginative exploration for success in today's business world. Discover how these books can reshape your approach, infusing your business with innovative energy and strategic thinking.

Through brilliant analogies, Rory unveils why we're all pouring our wealth into "utterly tedious" houses instead of enjoying life's innovations. From his radical takes on office culture to his fascinating insights on how video calls have changed business forever, this episode is packed with "aha" moments that will stick with you long after listening. Whether you're a property owner, thinking about remote work, or just love fresh perspectives on modern life, this conversation will have you looking at the world differently. Rory Sutherland REVEALS: Who is really to blame for the property crisis How the internet has democratised consumption Why office culture needs reimagining in all ways The reality that all companies need to adapt to or risk losing top talent How the UK housing market could be transformed and innovated Why big cities are less relevant than ever BEST MOMENTS "The point of capitalism, right? Capitalism is nothing to do with efficiency. Forget that. That's a distraction. Praising capitalism because it's efficient is like praising Bob Dylan because he's got a beautiful singing voice." "Any meeting without tea and biscuits is just faintly unnatural... we've got to leave some space for anthropology here, not just economics." "The actual buildings are utterly tedious and awful for the most part. And all the money is actually in the land... It's kind of bothersome to me because so much of what should be a productive discretionary market economy is actually being sequestered in this utterly uninteresting form of wealth preservation." "Nobody minded buying CDs when the only way you could listen to music was on a CD... When the record companies started to say, 'No, I know you can download music from the internet in five minutes, but you still have to buy it on CD to protect our legal rights.' Okay, that's when people revolt." "We've spent trillions on this stuff, we've created billionaires, we've created bankruptcies... If all this turmoil created by technology doesn't manifest itself in basically a general improvement to people's lived existence... what the hell is the point?"
