„Mali na výber zdanlivo pokojný život alebo boj za lepší svet. Rozhodli sa pre to druhé. Pre slobodu boli ochotné veľa riskovať a obetovať. Tvorili výraznú časť disentu. Bez nich by k historickým zmenám v roku 1989 nedošlo. Či už žili v Poľsku, alebo v Československu, spájal ich odpor proti komunistickej moci a viera v silu spoločenstva, ktorého podstatou je spoluzodpovednosť a solidarita.“ Toto sú úvodné slová výstavy o ženách v disente, autenticky stredoeurópskej výstavy, ktorú si budete môcť pozrieť od 14. novembra v Poľskom Inštitúte v Bratislave pod názvom Každodenná odvaha: Češky, Poľky a Slovenky v protikomunistickej opozícii v rokoch 1968 – 1989. A práve o tejto výstave a o témach, ktoré prináša, je najnovší diel Dejín. Prečo má dnes zmysel hovoriť o ženách, ktoré sa vzopreli štátnemu útlaku a spoločenským očakávaniam? V čom sa líšili príbehy Poliek, Sloveniek či Češiek? A v čom boli podobné? Čo tieto ženy riskovali? A ako za svoju odvahu zaplatili? Historička Agáta Šústová Drelová sa rozprávala so sociologičkou Oľgou Gyarfášovou z Fakulty sociálnych a ekonomických vied Univerzity Komenského a s historikom Františkom Neupauerom z Ústavu pamäti národa, ktorí zo slovenskej strany spolupracovali na výstave spolu so Soňou Gyarfášovou a Zuzanou Luprichovou. Výstava je spoluorganizovaná Poľským inštitútom, Ústavom pamäti národa, Ústavom pre štúdium totalitných režimov a Múzeom pamäti 20. storočia. – Ak máte pre nás spätnú väzbu, odkaz alebo nápad, napíšte nám na jaroslav.valent@petitpress.sk – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcastySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Minister vnútra Matúš Šutaj Eštok prehral súd s čurillovcami a zaplatiť im musí viac ako stotisíc eur. Šéf Hlasu prehral súd kontumačne, pretože si nevšímal dobrovoľne aktivovanú elektronickú schránku. Exminister zahraničných vecí Miroslav Lajčák podľa e-mailov z amerického kongresu priamo komunikoval so sexuálnym predátorom Jeffreym Epsteinom, konsolidácia zníži disponibilné príjmy domácností v budúcom roku o 376 eur a po nehode vlakov pri Pezinku skončilo celé vedenie železníc.

Rok 2009, Košice, dve deti. Rok 2012, Huncovce, žena a jej dve deti. Tri roky neskôr, Malcov, 97 ľudí prišlo o strechu nad hlavou. 2016, Košice, Mašličkovo, jedno dieťa. Rok 2021, Sabinov, dvaja dospelí. Marec 2025, Veľký Šariš, päť detí a žena. A napokon 10. november 2025, Košice, Mašličkovo, dve deti. Je to len časť tragédií, ktoré opakovane zasahujú extrémne chudobných ľudí z osád na Slovensku. Tí s klesajúcou teplotou stoja pred dilemou, či si zakúria a riskujú požiar, alebo zmrznú. Dá sa s tým spraviť niečo dostatočne rýchlo na to, aby sme o podobných nešťastiach viac nepočuli? O téme sa Nikola Šuliková Bajánová rozpráva s moderátorkou a redaktorkou denníka SME Zuzanou Kovačič Hanzelovou.

O 11. hodine sa v Dejinách moderátor Jaro Valent bude rozprávať s publicistkou Soňou Gyarfášovou a historikom Ľubomírom Morbacherom o tom, ako november ’89 prežívali politickí väzni a či sa dočkali právnej, finančnej alebo aspoň ľudskej satisfakcie. V Aréne Naživo sa zase Jana Krescanko Dibáková stretne s hercom a bývalým ministrom kultúry Milanom Kňažkom a herečkou Kristínou Tormovou.

Nárast kriminality v uliciach pripúšťa už aj vláda. Obavy, ktoré zaznievali po vlaňajších zmenách trestného zákona, ministri aj koaliční poslanci najskôr zhadzovali. Keď upozornenia obchodníkov, ľudí a samospráv na zhoršenú bezpečnostnú situáciu silneli, stále to označovali za dezinformácie, pocit, opozičnú kampaň či – slovami predsedu vlády – totálny nezmysel. Tento víkend premiér otočil a naznačil, že na decembrovej schôdzi zákon v skrátenom konaní opravia. V hlavnom meste sa o bezpečnosť starajú aj stovky mestských policajtov a policajtiek. Denne sa viackrát stretnú s následkami akejkoľvek právnej úpravy a z prvej ruky vidia, ako na tom s kriminalitou sme. No a o tom, ako vyzerá ich práca a čo nám to o aktuálnej situácii hovorí, sa Nikola Šuliková Bajánová rozpráva s Petronelou Hodossy, zástupkyňou veliteľa Útvaru zásahovej jednotky a Kynológie Mestskej polície Bratislava. Zdroje zvukov: Markíza, TA3, STVR Odporúčanie Dnes je svetový deň dobrosrdečnosti a tak využijem priestor a navrhnem, aby ste v rámci tejto krásnej ľudskej vlastnosti podporili hocaký projekt alebo mimovládku, ktoré sa podieľajú na zlepšovaní nášho života a priestoru, v ktorom žijeme. Ja si napríklad vyberiem občianske združenie, ktoré sa stará o ľudí na okraji spoločnosti, presne tak, aby prevencia predchádzala represii. – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcasty – Odoberajte aj audio verziu denného newslettra SME.sk s najdôležitejšími správami na sme.sk/brifingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Once again we find ourselves in the midst of an excellent economic week. It's excellent, if you wish to see it that way. 100% of hotels will be full this coming Wednesday in Auckland. Broadly speaking, you can't get a room. Auckland hasn't been full in years. Along with the broad-based cruise season and the warmer summer travel period, we have a large conference and a major concert. This can only get better when the convention centre is open and Eden Park can actually open its gates under proper first-world rules. So, a record for hotel rooms. A record also for first home buyers – never have there been more young people getting into their first home. This is the real celebration. Despite many people's best efforts to steer money elsewhere, nothing beats real estate. It's a multi-generational obsession in this country and nothing will ever shift it. The owner of a home. A place to call home. The ability to adjust and mould it to your life and aspirations is not to be underestimated and people will bleed for the pleasure. Money is cheap-ish. Money is readily available and people are buying. Good on them. What drives all this is a few simple economic truths – if you get the basics right you can't lose. This country must be a destination. It must be open, and it must be welcoming, hence the importance of sorting our downtown's out with the homeless and trouble. The fundamentals must also be right. If you get inflation under control, you earn your way instead of forever borrowing and you set the economic table for the country to be able to spend and take risk and believe that they have a chance and a future. There is still plenty to do. Jobs needs to come right, but the ads are up. The media could play their part and drop the misery obsession. News can be neutral and positive, as well as negative. And the funk brigade could try, just try, to accept that actually there is a decent shaft of light at the end of that tunnel. Business confidence in the SME sector also had a good week. Oh, and the All Blacks won and will win again this weekend, if that stuff moves your needle. In simple terms, this country is going places. I'm bullish on 2026. This week has been a good building block. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Strana Smer a Robert Fico bývali vždy dobrí v tom, že sa vedeli aspoň naoko postaviť za – aj svojich – ľudí. Vyzerali, že sa starajú. No v poslednom čase tvrdia, že sa tu vlastne nekradne, že štát je v pohode, že všetko funguje... možno aj tie vlaky. Akurát že tento rozpor s realitou sa už dá len ťažko uhájiť, dokonca aj pred voličmi Smeru.

Desiatky zranených, záchranné zložky v pozore a na stole otázka, ako to, že počas jedného mesiaca sa odohralo už druhé veľké železničné nešťastie.

THE Sales Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
If your buyer can swap you out without pain, you don't have a USP — you have a pricing problem. In crowded markets (including post-pandemic), the game is won by changing the battlefield from price to value and risk reduction for the client. This playbook reframes features into outcomes and positions your offer so a rational buyer can't treat you as interchangeable. Why do USPs matter more than ever in 2025? Because buyers default to "safe" and "cheap" unless you prove "different" and "better". As procurement tightens across Japan, the US, and Europe, incumbent vendors and new entrants flood categories, dragging deals into discount wars. Shift the conversation from line-items to business outcomes: time saved, revenue gained, risk removed. In Japan's consensus-driven buying, precedent and social proof are de-riskers; in the US, speed and ROI proof points get you shortlisted; in Europe, compliance and sustainability signals matter. Use comparative, sector-specific language (SMB vs. enterprise, B2B vs. consumer) so your value feels native to each buyer's reality. Do now: List 3 outcomes you deliver that a competitor cannot credibly claim, and make them the first 90 seconds of every sales conversation. Summary: Lead with outcomes and risk reduction, not features or price. How do you turn features into buyer-relevant outcomes? Translate specs into "jobs done" with timestamps and dollars attached. If you "sell training," your buyer actually wants higher per-rep revenue and lower ramp time; the workshop is just the tool. Frame cause-and-effect: "As of 2025, teams using our method cut onboarding by 30–60 days," or "post-implementation, win-rates rose 8–12% in enterprise accounts." Compare across contexts: startups prize speed-to-first-value; multinationals prize uniformity at scale. Anchor with entities to boost credibility: "Aligned to Dale Carnegie's behavioural change frameworks and Fortune 500 norms." Do now: For each feature, write: "So that the buyer can ___ by ___ date, measured by ___." Then delete the feature and keep the sentence. Summary: Convert every spec into a measurable, time-bound business result. What proof calms executive risk in consensus markets like Japan? Show durable track record and mainstream precedent, not hype. Tenure ("operating since 1912"), adoption ("serving a majority of Fortune 500"), and multi-market delivery ("100+ countries") signal you're not an experiment. Executives at firms like Toyota and Rakuten want to see that others have done due diligence and achieved consistent outcomes. Present proof as risk offsets: longevity = vendor stability; blue-chip logos = quality validation; global presence = repeatability across geographies and languages. In Europe, add references to ISO-aligned processes; in the US, reference board-level impacts and revenue KPIs. Do now: Build a one-page "Risk Reducers" sheet with 5 credibility markers and a 3-line narrative for each. Summary: Package track record as risk insurance for the buyer. How do you compete on instructor quality without sounding generic? Expose the standard, the filter, and the client-side benefit. "250 hours of train-the-trainer over ~18 months" is a rigorous filter; say what it fixes: variability. Many training vendors have star-and-struggle instructors; your certification process "cures" inconsistency, delivering predictable outcomes across cohorts and locations. Tie this to executive concerns: CFOs fear wasted spend; CHROs fear uneven adoption; Sales VPs fear lost quarters. As of 2025, quantify where possible (completion rates, manager NPS, behavioural transfer at 90 days) and compare to sector benchmarks. Do now: Turn your internal QA process into a 5-step visual the buyer can explain internally. Summary: Make your quality bar tangible and link it to reduced variance in outcomes. How do you avoid the price trap in late-stage negotiations? Re-anchor total value and introduce "switching cost of downgrade." When rivals discount, show the cost of failure: extended ramp, inconsistent delivery, and lost deals. Use a simple model: (Expected Revenue Uplift + Risk Reduction Value) − (Implementation & Change Costs). Add comparative caselets: "In APAC, an SME cut churn 3 points post-programme; in North America, a SaaS enterprise lifted ASP by 6%." Create a "good–better–best" offer that scales outcomes, not just hours. Do now: Bring a 1-page value calculator to every Stage-3 meeting; make the CFO your audience. Summary: Move from hourly rate to enterprise value and downgrade risk. How do you tailor USPs for global rollout without bloating the pitch? Modularise by region, role, and sector; keep a common spine. The spine: outcomes, risk reducers, delivery quality. The modules: language and cultural localisation (Japan vs. ASEAN vs. EMEA), regulatory anchors (EU GDPR, Japan's labour reforms), and sector examples (manufacturing vs. SaaS vs. consumer). Your global network isn't trivia; it's the operational proof that content lands locally — language, idiom, and facilitation calibrated to context. Keep sections tight: 3 bullets per role (CEO, CFO, HR, Sales). Do now: Build a 9-cell USP matrix (Region × Role × Sector) with one killer proof point per cell. Summary: One message, many modules — local relevance on a global chassis. What rehearsal builds salesperson muscle memory on USPs? Daily, 10-minute role plays that start with objections. Freshness decays; script drift is real. Start with the toughest objections ("We can swap you out," "Your competitor is 20% cheaper") and practise crisp, evidence-backed responses that land in under 30 seconds. Include a checklist: outcome first, proof second, risk reducer third, price last. Record, score, and iterate. By week two, rotate markets (Japan vs. US) and sectors to keep reps adaptive. Do now: Add a morning "USP stand-up": 2 reps, 2 objections, 2 minutes each, every day. Summary: Reps don't rise to your USPs — they fall to their practice. Conclusion Pricing fights are the path to oblivion. Position with outcomes, prove with precedent, operationalise with quality, regionalise with intent, and practise until it's muscle memory. That's how you make "different and better" undeniable — and un-swappable. FAQs What's the fastest way to sharpen a dull USP? Start with outcomes and risk, cut features, and add one killer proof point per market. Then rehearse daily. How many USPs should we show? Three is plenty: one outcome, one risk reducer, one delivery advantage — tailored by role and region. What if a rival undercuts price by 20%? Re-anchor to enterprise value and switching-cost of downgrade; offer modular "good–better–best." Quick actions for leaders Commission a 1-page "Risk Reducers" sheet with proof. Ship a value calculator for CFO-friendly re-anchoring. Launch a daily "USP stand-up" with objection drills.

Najsilnejšia opozičná strana Progresívne Slovensko už túto jeseň predstavila alternatívu k ekonomickej práci kabinetu Roberta Fica. Teraz prichádza s alternatívou ku kabinetu samotnému. V polčase volebného obdobia prichádza s tieňovou vládou, v ktorej ministrov a ministerky nazýva lídrami zmeny. Ako si túto zmenu predstavuje? Boli nominácie jednoznačné alebo si jednotlivé mená aj konkurovali? A načo je to vlastne dobré? Nikola Šuliková Bajánová sa pýta redaktora domácej redakcie denníka SME Michala Katušku. Zdroje zvukov: Rádio Express, TA3 Odporúčanie Teraz spravím veľmi nepodarený oslí mostík a odporučím vám seriál Say Nothing. Spomínali sme, že tieňové vlády majú tradíciu v zahraničí, pričom niekedy ide o reálny dopad na politiku – to je aj prípad Mo Mowlamovej, ktorá sa zúčastnila mierových rokovaní, ktoré ukončili tragické obdobie dejín Severného Írska známe ako Troubles, o ktorom je aj spomínaný seriál. – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcasty – Odoberajte aj audio verziu denného newslettra SME.sk s najdôležitejšími správami na sme.sk/brifingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Pracovný trh ostatných plus-mínus päť rokov postupne zapĺňajú vysokoškolskí absolventi generácie Z. Vo všeobecnosti ide o mladých ľudí, ktorí sa narodili v rokoch 1997 až 2012, teda dnes majú 13 až 28 rokov. Veľa si o nich prečítate v médiách a internetových fórach. Napríklad aj to, ako sa na nich sťažuje oscarová herečka Jodie Foster, ktorá hovorí, že sa s nimi ťažko pracuje. Nie je jediná. Takisto sa dozviete, že sú skúsení v technológiách, sú neustále online a práca nie je ich identita. Nič to nemení na tom, že sa o generáciu Z musia skôr či neskôr usilovať celkom logicky všetky sektory hospodárstva. Jedným z nich je aj bankovníctvo. Dokáže mladým ponúknuť to, čo žiadajú a naopak, má gen Z to, čo potrebujú banky? Ako je to napríklad s flexibilitou práce, ktorá sa často spomína ako jedna zo štandardných požiadaviek mladých ľudí – je na ňu priestor v bankovom sektore? O tom, ako menia zoomeri pracovnú kultúru a ako dokáže mladé talenty prilákať práve bankovníctvo, sa Nikola Šuliková Bajánová rozpráva s HR riaditeľkou VÚB banky Draganou Smolović. Táto epizóda vznikla v spolupráci s VÚB bankou, členom skupiny Intesa Sanpaolo. – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcasty – Odoberajte aj audio verziu denného newslettra SME.sk s najdôležitejšími správami na sme.sk/brifingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Sexualita je výborným príkladom interakcie prírodnej a kultúrnej evolúcie. Svoje záujmy si jej prostredníctvom presadzovali a presadzujú rôzne náboženstvá, cirkvi, ale i politické sily. Objektom vedeckého výskumu sa sexualita stala v polovici 19. storočia, 20. storočie prinieslo sexuálnu revolúciu a naše 21. storočie zasa sociálne siete, rapídne sa meniacu intimitu a zoznamovacie aplikácie, ktoré akoby menili všetko, čo sme doteraz poznali. S Učenou spoločnosťou Slovenska sme sa preto rozhodli diskutovať aj o tejto téme.

Fresh out of the studio, Ralph Haupter, President & CRO, Small Medium Enterprises and Channels at Microsoft, joins us to explore how Microsoft is empowering 400 million small and medium businesses globally across 56 counties through a partner-first strategy that combines platform standardization with deep specialization. He shares his career journey spanning over 20 years at Microsoft, from running Europe to leading Greater China, building Asia's geographical operations in Singapore, and eventually taking on global SME strategy. Ralph explains that Microsoft's unique advantage lies in being a platform company at its finest, offering a complete technology stack from productivity to infrastructure, security, and applications—all with core AI integration—while relying on a specialized partner ecosystem to deliver local expertise and support. He highlights how partners are creating entirely new business models on agentic AI while emphasizing the four critical partnership moments from transaction to ongoing support that most companies neglect. Closing the conversation, Ralph shares what great looks like for Microsoft. “The partner program for us is a place where we want to have expertise for our customers. The only way to make that happen is to standardize on portfolio and standardize on offering.If you don't provide standardized offers — if the experience in Word, for example, is different in one country than in another — you can't build an ecosystem that helps partners scale with expertise. I call that a platform company at its finest.We have the full assortment — from the productivity world to infrastructure, security, and applications. And if you're a small or medium enterprise, the last thing you want is to have four meetings with four people, serving four different types of coffee to four different vendors, just to get a full-stack solution for your business.” - Ralph HaupterEpisode Highlights: [00:00] Quote of the Day by Ralph Haupter [00:54] Ralph's 20+ year Microsoft career journey from Europe to China to Global [02:19] Ralph's Experience in Microsoft Greater China [04:24] Giving space to local country leaders [06:16] Career advice: Get out of comfort zone [08:02] Microsoft's 400 million SME customer opportunity [11:00] AI accessibility for small business competitiveness [13:09] Satya's vision: Empower every organization globally [15:00] Microsoft as AI platform company strategy [17:24] Standardization enables partner ecosystem at scale [21:22] Security partners drive consultative innovation [25:15] Full stack portfolio simplifies SME technology [28:00] Training investment for partners and customers [32:00] Four critical partnership moments: Sales to support [35:00] Local partner presence matters by geography [40:36] Scale requires clarity, simplicity, and standards [42:36] Global Leadership Lessons: Learning from positive performance signal deviations [45:22] Customers should ask partners for expertise [47:34] What does Great Look Like for Microsoft SME & Channel Globally [48:00] ClosingProfile: Ralph Haupter, President and CRO, Small Medium Enterprises and Channel (SME&C), Microsoft LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ralphhaupter/Podcast Information: Bernard Leong hosts and produces the show.

Daniela Tupého ubili a dopichali na smrť presne pred dvadsiatimi rokmi. Slovensko aj v tomto prípade nedokázalo jeho blízkym poskytnúť rýchlu odpoveď, kto je vrahom, a odsúdiť spolupáchateľov. Na Tyršovom nábreží sa osem mladých ľudí nechtiac dostalo do potýčky so skupinou agresorov, ktorí dovtedy opakovane páchali násilnosti v bratislavských uliciach. Jeden z nich sa po úderoch už nepostavil. Daniel Tupý podľahol bodným zraneniam. Vražda mladého študenta mala obrovský spoločenský dosah.

The dental industry is chronically supply-constrained: 97% of dentists report staffing as their primary volume limiter, 95% cite extreme recruiting difficulty, yet 75% of hygienists prioritize schedule flexibility above all else. This structural mismatch created the opportunity for Toothio—a labor marketplace connecting dental professionals seeking flexible work with practices facing critical staffing shortages. In this episode, we sat down with Ian Prendergast, Co-Founder and CEO of Toothio, to unpack how he applied labor marketplace principles from hospitality and light industrial verticals to dental, why DSO enterprise customers emerged as the true ICP only after launch, and how being an industry outsider enabled business model innovation that insiders missed. Topics Discussed: How a single golf course conversation with a dentist exposed the 97% staffing crisis and validated the market opportunity Translating labor marketplace GTM from Qwick (hospitality staffing) and Steady Install (light industrial) into dental The supply-demand structural imbalance: dental growing 10.5% CAGR, 40% workforce departure in 2020, insufficient pipeline Supply-first marketplace development and why quality/reliability required deep supply pools before demand acquisition The ICP evolution from private practices (faster sales cycles, lower risk validation) to DSO enterprise (higher volume, stickier retention) Building credibility as outsider founders through strategic SME hires, advisors, and embedding in industry associations The enterprise motion: hiring CCO and SVP Sales with dental Rolodexs to access top-10 DSO decision-makers Quantifying previously unmeasured costs: 100%+ recruiting cost increases, industry-leading turnover rates, $1,560+ daily production loss per unstaffed hygienist Leveraging AI agentic systems to eliminate geographic marketplace constraints for national expansion The moat-building roadmap: layering SaaS and RCM software over the distribution channel to increase switching costs GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Supply depth before demand scale prevents unit economics collapse: Ian's experience across three labor marketplaces reinforced one principle: excess supply is recoverable, excess demand is catastrophic. With too much demand and insufficient supply, you're "spending a bunch of money to acquire these demand users, but you're not able to fulfill the supply side. So now they're churning out at a high clip, they're going somewhere else. And now it drives up your CAC across the marketplace and reduces your lifetime value." In two-sided marketplaces, founders must resist investor pressure to show demand-side revenue before supply reliability is proven—the temporary revenue bump destroys long-term unit economics. ICP clarity requires live market data, not pre-launch assumptions: Toothio launched targeting private practices (shorter sales cycles, lower barriers, faster learning) before discovering DSOs were the actual ICP through usage cohorts showing materially higher volume and retention. Ian was explicit: "Once we got into it, we realized...the true ICP is going to be our group practices." The tactical framework: establish presence across plausible segments, instrument everything, collect 1-2 quarters of behavioral data, then redirect resources to wherever retention and expansion metrics are strongest. This data-driven ICP discovery prevents premature optimization around the wrong customer profile. Hire senior enterprise operators when you have validation plus clear TAM: Toothio broke conventional early-stage wisdom by hiring a Chief Commercial Officer and SVP Sales—roles typically considered "top-heavy"—because Ian had validated product-market fit and identified a concentrated enterprise opportunity (hundreds of DSOs). The result: "Next thing you know, we're in front of five or six of the top eight or ten DSOs in the country." The decision framework: if you have (1) proven unit economics, (2) clear product-market fit signals, and (3) an enterprise TAM with established relationship networks, senior hires with category Rolodexs can compress multi-year enterprise sales cycles into quarters. Without all three conditions, follow conventional wisdom and stay lean. Outsider economic analysis creates differentiated value propositions: Ian's non-dental background enabled him to "look at the dental office P&L and the core drivers of production with a completely neutral lens and realize that there was a lot of waste." He quantified what insiders hadn't: recruiting costs up 100%+ in five years, dental turnover among the highest of any U.S. industry, and the compounding cost of cancelled patient days (immediate production loss + 20% patient churn × $10-15K lifetime values). This economic framing repositioned Toothio from "staffing vendor" to strategic finance partner. The pattern: outsiders should weaponize their fresh perspective by conducting rigorous economic impact analysis that category incumbents haven't done, then speak to buyers in CFO language rather than operational features. Industry association involvement is enterprise distribution, not brand marketing: Ian credited local and national dental association sponsorships as "the catalyst to get us on the radar of some of the bigger orgs early" because associations created credibility signals plus network effects at scale. In relationship-driven B2B categories with strong professional associations (dental, legal, accounting, healthcare), sponsorship generates repeated exposure to concentrated decision-maker populations and warm introduction paths that cold outbound can't replicate. Founders should map the association landscape in year one, treat it as a primary distribution channel with measurable pipeline contribution, and staff it with team members who can build genuine relationships—not just write checks. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

This talk explains—step by step—what a security operations center (SOC) actually does, how telemetry flows in from networks, endpoints, and cloud apps, and what an investigation can credibly reveal about attacker behavior, exposure, and control gaps. We then trace how AI has shown up in the SOC: from rules and classic machine learning for detection to natural-language tools that summarize alerts and turn questions like “show failed logins from new countries in the last 24 hours” into fast database queries. The core of the talk is our next step: agentic investigations. These GenAI agents plan their work, run queries across tools, cite evidence, and draft analyst-grade findings—with guardrails and a human in the loop. We close with what's next: risk-aware auto-remediation, verifiable knowledge sources, and a practical checklist for adopting these capabilities safely.// BioDr. Jeff Schwartzentruber holds the position of Sr. Machine Learning Scientist at eSentire – a Canadian cybersecurity company specializing in Managed Detection and Response (MDR).

The Two Real Reasons Reeves Needs to Raise Tax on Working People So she has to raise tax due to 2 reasons that are her fault, namely: She gave herself only around £10bn headroom, when previous chancellors have given themselves £30bn. Even if the economy had been strong and showed growth, there would be little room for error. The growth she was hoping for, she destroyed by taxing the very source of that growth: SME's. So she now has to raise taxes again on working people. So she's now taxing business and working people and growth is yet to be seen. And growth probably won't materialise. You can't tax your way to growth.

Veľká časť vládnych a koaličných politikov odmieta komunikovať so štandardnými médiami alebo s nimi komunikuje len pasívne agresívne. Zato rôznym influencerom nemajú problém poskytnúť rozhovory, a to ani vtedy, ak šíria dezinformácie. Práve naopak a dokonca im aj platia. Napríklad Richard Raši, keď ešte viedol ministerstvo investícií, zamestnával na dohodu dezinfluencerku Mimi Šramovú, známu nekritickými rozhovormi s viacerými politikmi. Nejde pritom ani o najhorší zo všetkých prípadov. Dezinfoscéna sa za tejto vlády etablovala ako nástroj propagandy a jej sledovanosť rastie. Nikola Šuliková Bajánová sa o téme rozpráva s reportérom denníka SME Martinom Hodásom. Zdroj zvukov: YTB- Mimi Šramová Odporúčanie: V mojom dnešnom odporúčaní na záver sa prenesieme na ostrov, ktorý zachováva tajomstvá Zeme. Denník The New York Times zachytáva indonézsky ostrov Sulawesi na krásnych až surreálnych fotografiách a krátko píše o jeho výnimočnosti, ktorá stojí podľa mňa aj za vašu pozornosť. – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcasty – Odoberajte aj audio verziu denného newslettra SME.sk s najdôležitejšími správami na sme.sk/brifingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Eirmersive, the leading voice in Ireland for the immersive technology sector, officially launched the PRISM Manufacturing Programme at an exclusive evening reception attended by programme partners, funders, and manufacturing leaders from across the island of Ireland. In early 2026, the programme will engage manufacturing SMEs across the island to explore deep tech applications, such as immersive, Digital Twin and AI technologies, towards improved efficiencies and optimisation of manufacturing processes. With strong backing from cross-border partners - including InterTradeIreland, Queen's University Belfast, Digital Catapult NI, Dundalk Institute of Technology Regional Development Centre and others - PRISM represents a transformative, collaborative pilot approach to advancing digital innovation and competitiveness across the island. The launch comes following an exceptional day that began with the PRISM Immersive Technology Summit, Ireland's premier all-island gathering exploring the convergence of Extended Reality (XR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Digital Twin technologies. The summit welcomed over 200 innovators, business leaders, and researchers, offering a deep dive into how immersive technologies are transforming key sectors such as manufacturing, construction, health tech, and energy. Speaking at the launch, Camille Donegan, CEO of Eirmersive, said: "The energy and engagement we witnessed throughout today's summit carried seamlessly into this evening's launch. The PRISM Manufacturing Programme represents the practical next step - moving from discussion to demonstration, and from potential to performance. We're thrilled to see so many stakeholders coming together to drive real innovation across the island." Aidan Browne, Head of Innovation & Business Development at Dundalk Institute of Technology, added: "Today has shown the power of collaboration between academia, industry, and innovation partners. The PRISM Manufacturing Programme will help Irish SMEs embrace immersive technology not as a concept, but as a competitive advantage." Earlier in the day, summit attendees experienced powerful keynote presentations and live demonstrations from global leaders including Brian Cooney, CEO of KUKA Robotics Ireland, and Timmy Ghiuru, Innovation Leader at Volvo Cars. Discussions explored how digital twins, XR, and AI are revolutionising industrial workflows, reducing lead times, and creating safer, more efficient production environments.

Pomáhali budovať prvú demokratickú republiku, bojovali proti ľudákom a nacistom v Slovenskom národnom povstaní, a počas komunizmu prišli o všetko. Dejiny rodiny Tvarožkovcov ukazujú spletité a neraz tragické osudy presvedčených demokratov v moderných dejinách Slovenska. Po rokoch núteného zabúdania sa dnes ich príbeh postupne stáva súčasťou veľkých dejín Slovenska. Najnovšie vychádza vo vydavateľstve Absynt kniha Zuzany Kepplovej, pod názvom Tvarožkovci, Súkromné dejiny demokracie.V podcaste Dejiny vám prinášame záznam z prvej verejnej diskusie práve o tejto knihe. Príbeh Tvarožkovcov je s prvou republikou životne prepojený. Je príbehom rodiny, ktorá si prvú republiku považovala, a ktorá republiku budovala. Čo sa dozvedáme o Československu vďaka, alebo práve cez príbeh Tvarožkovcov? Čo vnáša do nášho chápania demokracie práve príbeh Tvarožkovcov? Ktoré sú podľa Tvarožkovcov samotných základné princípy tvarožkovského étosu? Historička Agáta Šústová Drelová sa rozprávala so spisovateľkou a publicistkou Zuzanou Kepplovou, autorkou knihy Tvarožkovci, Súkromné dejiny demokracie. – Ak máte pre nás spätnú väzbu, odkaz alebo nápad, napíšte nám na jaroslav.valent@petitpress.sk – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcastySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stojí za úspechom najväčších hereckých hviezd, no jej práca sa odohráva mimo svetiel reflektorov. Petra Svarinská je herecká agentka, manažérka a strategička, ktorá pomáha formovať kariéry slávnych mien. V zozname klientov nechýba Táňa Pauhofová, Judit Pecháček, Milan Ondrík či Antónia Lišková. Celkom prvou klientkou však bola jej mladšia sestra - hrdinka seriálu Dunaj, k vašim službám Kristína Svarinská. „Ja som to nejak neplánovala. Ono sa to vyvinulo čiste organicky,“ vrátila sa v relácii Ide o nás ku svojim začiatkom Petra. Pôvodne sa orientovala viac na prácu kastingovej režisérky, no po skúsenosti s Kristínou sa začali jazýčky váh preklápať viac smerom k zastupovaniu hercov. Jej práca však nie je len o dohadovaní zmlúv a honorárov. Je to komplexný proces, v ktorom sa stáva partnerkou herca. Spoločne budujú značku a rozhodujú o tom, akým smerom sa bude kariéra uberať. „Sme vlastne partneri. Som taký sprievodca pri jeho kariére,“ vysvetľuje Svarinská, ktorá rieši všetko od zmluvných podmienok, cez castingy až po dlhodobú stratégiu. Niekedy to znamená aj presvedčiť herca, aby prijal menšiu úlohu vo výnimočnom projekte. Kľúčom k jej prístupu je jednoduché, no zásadné pravidlo: „Človek musí mať hercov rád.“ Práve tento vzťah jej umožňuje nielen profesionálne, ale aj ľudsky viesť svojich klientov cez nástrahy filmového a televízneho sveta. V posledných rokoch sa výrazne mení – najmä s nástupom dlhodobých seriálov, ktoré si vyžadujú úplne inú stratégiu. Svarinská niekoľko rokov aktívne pracuje aj na tom, aby sa jej herci presadili aj v zahraničí. Spolupracuje s agentmi v Londýne či Amerike a verí, že slovenskí a českí herci majú šancu preraziť. Jednou z najdôležitejších podmienok je podľa nej špičková jazyková vybavenosť. Kto ju má? Aj to sa dozviete v našom rozhovore, ktorý je plný zaujímavých odhalení zo zákulisia filmového priemyslu. Ako vyzerá bežný pracovný deň hereckej agentky? Čo si myslí o umelej inteligencii, ktorá by mohla nahradiť živých hercov? A akú radu by dala svojmu 20-ročnému ja, ktoré stálo na začiatku kariéry? To všetko a ešte omnoho viac sa dozviete v novej epizóde Ide o nás (Rozhovory so Zdenom Gáfrikom).
Už v novembri sa po šiestich rokoch obnoví pravidelná letecká linka Bratislava - Košice. Deje sa to zároveň s tým, ako naše najväčšie letisko ožíva a profituje z novej politiky rakúskeho Schwechatu.Maďarský Wizz Air v ňom ruší základňu a časť biznisu presúva do Bratislavy. Tu sa však musí pasovať s najväčšími európskymi aerolinkami Ryanair, ktoré mu v konkurenčnom boji zatiaľ naozaj nič nechcú darovať.Vydrží Wizz Air tento tlak? Udrží pri živote spojenie hlavného mesta a metropoly východu, na ktoré získal od Slovenska licenciu a dotáciu?

Podporte Dobré ráno na HeroHero: https://herohero.co/dobrerano/subscribeRudolf Huliak si s odreninami vybojoval novelu o hazarde a kasínach, ale priveľká rýchlosť a iné okolnosti zrejme zabránia tomu, aby sa z výsledku - spolu s Tiposom - radoval.Prezident Peter Pellegrini nad novelou vyriekol pochybnosti a tak nie je isté, čo bude nasledovať. Po vrátení novely o hazarde do parlamentu - s prezidentovým vetom - je oveľa menšia šanca na jej schválenie.O tom, čo legislatíva prináša, aké pochybnosti vzbudzuje a čo čaká samosprávy, diskutuje v podcaste Dobré ráno moderátorka Jana Krescanko Dibáková s kolegom z domácej redakcie Michalom Katuškom.Zdroje zvukov: YouTube/Andrej Danko, Markíza, JOJ, TA3OdporúčanieViete, ako presvedčiť mozog, aby prekonal vlastné limity?
