Podcasts about She Did It

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 11ú lá de mí an Mhárta, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1985 tháinig nuacht iontach amach do chailín Éireannach darbh ainm Cathy Clair a fuair obráid iontach san ospidéal I Meiriceá. Rugadh í le ach ordóg ar a lámh chlé agus dúradh léi nach raibh dochtúirí in Éirinn ábalta aon rud a dhéanamh – ach fuair sí lámh nuair a bhí sí I Meiriceá. I 2008 bhí an costas de rudaí ag dul suas le 50% in aerfort Bhaile Átha Cliath. Bhí an costas ag ardú le seiceáil isteach ach dúradh nach raibh sé chun teacht isteach ar feadh tamall. I 1997 bhí 36 páiste ón Bhealarúis ag fáil réidh chun teacht chuig an chontae sa samhradh. Tháinig siad chuig Durlas leis an eagraíocht Children of Chernobyl. I 2005 chuid is mó de na láthair timpeall an chontae bhí siad lán mar tháinig a lán daoine chuig an chontae chun éisteacht le Johnny McEvoy, Foster and Allen agus Rebel Hearts. Sin Queen le Crazy Little Thing Called Love – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo i 1980. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1997 fuair Paul McCartney an t-ainm Sir Paul ó Queen Elizabeth II de bharr go raibh sé an cáiliúil sa tionscal an cheoil. Tharla sé ag Buckingham Palace I Londain. Níor tháinig Linda McCartney – a bean chéile de bharr go raibh ailse chíche aici. I 2024 fuair amhránaí Eric Carmen bás ag aois 74. Amhráin cáiliúil a bhí aige ná Go All The Way, All By Myself, She Did It agus Hungry Eyes. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Terrance Howard I Meiriceá I 1969 agus rugadh aisteoir Jodie Comer sa Bhreatain ar an lá seo I 1993 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sí. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo.

Luister mee en kom te weten wat ‘impact investeren' betekent, hoe dit wordt ingezet als een hefboom voor een meer inclusieve samenleving, welke uitdagingen er nog zijn voor investeringscomités én hoe ‘betrokken advisory boards' het verschil kunnen maken in het dichten van gender- en andere kloven. Beste luisteraar wij heten jullie opnieuw van harte welkom in onze nieuwe aflevering van de podcast Let's Talk About Work. Vandaag zitten we toevallig op een bijzondere locatie. We zitten hier in een mooi lokaaltje bij het maatwerkbedrijf Kunnig in Antwerpen. En ikzelf heb zicht op de textiel afdeling, dus ik zie hier heel wat mensen achter naaimachines heel mooie dingen produceren. Het gesprek vandaag vindt plaats met Frederik Matthijs. Frederik is directeur van Trividend en hij mag dadelijk zelf uitleggen wat Trividend allemaal doet. We zijn alleszins heel blij dat Frederik helemaal vanuit Gent richting Antwerpen gekomen is voor dit gesprek. Ik ben benieuwd wat jij zoal te vertellen hebt in deze aflevering rond het thema wat ons aanbelangt. Frederik van harte welkom en misschien goed dat jij even uitlegt wie je bent wat je doet, en misschien zelfs waarom je doet wat je doet. In de eerste plaats hartelijk dank om mij uit te nodigen voor deze boeiende podcastreeks. Het is een hele eer voor mij. Ik ben woonachtig in Gent, Ik ben vader van een dochter van 15 jaar en opgeleid als economist, maar redelijk snel na mijn studies (ik werkte eerst in een commerciële omgeving) heb ik beseft dat ik het anders wil aanpakken. Ik wil iets kunnen betekenen voor de maatschappij en die trigger is er gekomen op het moment dat ik in de Rabotwijk woonde en daar een Turks kindje begeleidde rond huistaakbegeleiding. Dat was bij een kleine organisatie daar ter plaatse en toen heb ik kunnen merken en voelen welk verschil je kan maken voor dat kind, maar ook voor dat gezin als geheel. En welk verschil dat dat ook maakt voor mijzelf om die ondersteuning te gaan bieden - het gevoel dat je echt iemand kunt vooruit helpen. En, dat heeft mij redelijk snel een knop doen omdraaien in mijn mindset. Waardoor het voor mij duidelijk was dat ik echt de achtergrond die ik heb, de kennis die ik heb, en ook het netwerk dat ik heb, gaan gebruiken om bij te dragen aan de oplossing van maatschappelijke uitdagingen. Een redelijk snel daarna - ik heb een aantal organisaties zelf meehelpen oprichten, onder meer in Gent is Uilenspel een organisatie die dan ondertussen uitgegroeid is naar meer dan 600 vrijwilligers die elke week aan huis een kind begeleiden. Uilenspel? Ja, ondertussen ook actief in Antwerpen. Gegroeid vanuit Gent, en dan verder opgeschaald. Bij die organisatie heb ik er altijd voor gekozen om dat zelf als vrijwilliger te doen, meer op de achtergrond. Weliswaar in die eerste 10 jaar was dat een engagement van 8 uur per week die ik daaraan besteedde. Ondertussen is dat is dat minder geworden omdat dat een professionele organisatie is geworden. Maar ik ben er nog altijd de voorzitter van en dat is ook de rol waar ik in een dergelijke organisatie het beste kan gaan ondersteunen. Vanuit mijn achtergrond als economist, rond financiering, mijn netwerk binnenhalen om die organisatie mee te helpen gaan groeien. Ik heb nog een aantal andere organisatie mee opgericht, maar dat was voornamelijk ook in mijn vrije tijd. In mijn loopbaan is de rode draad altijd financiering van sociale ondernemers geweest, ondernemersorganisaties. En de laatste twee jaar, twee jaar en half doe ik dat bij Trividend als directeur. En ja dus, zoals gevraagd: een woordje uitleg over Trividend.. Wij zijn een impact investeringsfonds. We zijn eigenlijk een publiek privaat fonds, wat betekent dat onze aandeelhouders bestaat uit een mix van zowel de overheid, sociale organisaties, vakbonden, een aantal maatwerkbedrijven, de Koning Boudewijn Stichting en dan zijn er ook een aantal meer private klassieke bancaire instellingen en verzekeringsmaatschappijen. Met dat kapitaal kunnen wij startende startups, ondernemers en ook scale-ups dus doorgroeiende ondernemers, voorzien van risicokapitaal. Dus in een relatief vroege fase van hun bestaan of echt in een in een nieuwe fase waar dat er toch nog bepaalde onzekerheden zijn (Gaat dat lukken? Gaat dat niet lukken?) En dat is onze rol: om daar kapitaal voor te voorzien. En wij doen dat ook vanaf relatief kleine bedragen: vanaf € 50.000. Wat een tekort in de markt is. Andere investeringsfondsen gaan pas beginnen vanaf €250.000 of zelfs € 500.000. Lager dan dat is niet rendabel en het is ook dankzij de steun van de Vlaamse overheid dat wij dat wel kunnen doen. Ze zijn niet alleen onze grootste aandeelhouder, maar ook krijgen we een subsidie jaarlijks die ons toelaat om die kleine tickets ook te gaan doen. En die kleine tickets, mag ik dat -  in de wereld van het durfkapitaal - mag ik dat “zaai kapitaal” noemen dan of zit het net een fase verder, toch? Ons standpunt daarin is redelijk duidelijk: vanaf het moment dat je uw eerste betalende klant hebt, vanaf dat moment kan je komen aankloppen bij ons. Dus wij gaan niet investeren in onderzoek en ontwikkeling. Daarvoor zijn er andere wegen, bijvoorbeeld VLAIO, maar vanaf het moment dat die eerste klant daar is, is een typische aanwending van ons kapitaal bijvoorbeeld uw eerste aanwerving van een sales persoon, marketingbudget en dergelijke meer. En jullie stellen dat kapitaal ter beschikking In de vorm van leningen? Of participaties? Beiden. Het zijn achtergestelde leningen. Wat betekent dat mocht het ooit fout aflopen dat de bank eerst hun geld gaat terugkrijgen en dan pas Trividend. Wij vragen daar ook geen borgstelling op dus voor de bank is dat een hefboom om bijkomende financiering te kunnen creëren. Waarbij dat we de bedoeling hebben om 5 tot 7 jaar mee te investeren en daarna er te kunnen uitstappen. Dus dat betekent dat leningen worden terugbetaald. Wij zijn daar om de eerste groei mee te helpen ondersteunen en dan is het ook - in het beste geval natuurlijk - aan de volgende investeerder om bijkomend of andere kapitaal te gaan voorzien. En alle initiatieven die bij jullie gefinancierd worden moeten op een of andere manier kunnen aantonen dat ze een relevante maatschappelijke impact beogen? Juist. En we hebben daarin 3 pijlers die we voorop schuiven. Historisch gezien en het bij de oorsprong van Trividend - al in 2001 is Trividend opgericht - was het de bedoeling om al het kapitaal te laten vloeien naar ondernemers die zorgen voor bijkomende jobs in de sociale economie. Dus bijvoorbeeld maatwerkbedrijven zoals die waar we vandaag aanwezig zijn. Dat is verder uitgebreid. Een tweede pijler is circulaire oplossingen. Dus ondernemers die weinig of geen gebruik maken van grondstoffen, en als ze er dan toch gebruik van maken: er is geen afval meer vervolgens. Wat wij zien is dat veel van die startups met circulaire oplossingen ook spontaan de samenwerking gaan opzoeken met maatwerkbedrijven. En dat is voor ons de match made in heaven. Dat is eigenlijk zowel het ecologische aspect als het inclusie aspect, namelijk die tewerkstelling op de werkvloer. En een derde pijler is dan sociale innovatie. Dat is een iets bredere invulling van maatschappelijke impact. Een ondernemer die bijvoorbeeld een oplossing heeft om mee te werken aan ja, minder armoede, of die de digitale kloof wil verkleinen.. Dat kan redelijk breed gaan. Dat betekent dus dat wij in onze portefeuille, die vandaag bestaat uit een 45 tal bedrijven, da dat heel divers is. Dat kan gaan over een productieomgeving, zoals een maatwerkbedrijf, maar dat kan even goed gaan over een SAAS oplossing: een software as a service oplossing waarbij dat je ook een bepaalde dienst gaat aanbieden, of dat kan ook een app zijn. Wij zijn generalisten maar de rode draad is impact. En hoe belangrijk is het thema inclusie daarbinnen? Inclusie is een beetje de rode draad door onze podcastreeks. Hoe belangrijk is dat thema voor jullie? Bij de oorsprong was het 100% inclusie in de zin wel van sociale tewerkstelling. Ik weet niet in hoeverre we het onderscheid tussen inclusieve en sociale tewerkstelling nog moeten maken.. Waarschijnlijk niet, dat is verleden tijd. Ik denk het niet inderdaad. Dus het ging bij aanvang 100% daarover. Vandaag hebben wij een afspraak met onze aandeelhouders dat 2/3 van onze investering moet bijdragen aan die sociale tewerkstelling. Dus dat is rechtstreeks door een maatwerkbedrijf te gaan financieren, dat is onrechtstreeks door bijvoorbeeld het financieren van een circulaire startup die een structurele samenwerking aangaat met de maatwerkbedrijf. En dan lukt ons heel goed. We zitten vandaag boven de 70% van ons uitstaand kapitaal dat jobs creëert rechtstreeks of onrechtstreeks in de sociale economie. Maar die derde pijler: sociale innovatie - dat is ook inclusie. Dat kan ook inclusie zijn? Dat kan inderdaad ook inclusie zijn en dat is zo in veel van de ondernemingen waarin dat we geïnvesteerd zijn. Dus dat is zeker heel belangrijk in onze investeringspolitiek. Want ik hoor jou zeggen ‘maatwerkbedrijven' en ‘maatwerk' als belangrijk criterium, maar inclusie is veel breder dan wat er in de maatwerkwereld gebeurt in Vlaanderen, toch? En dat zit dan in die derde poot als ik jou goed beluister? Ja, dat klopt. Misschien is het wel goed om dat ook een beetje te kaderen binnen het gehele landschap van impact investeerders. Want dan zie je dat inclusie geen gemakkelijke is. Omdat als je het hebt over de maatschappelijke uitdagingen die er allemaal zijn - en je kan onder de noemer ESG (Environmental, Social, Government)... Het sociale is al meer richting inclusie, government ook wel: het beleid, uw manier waarop dat je uw producten of diensten in de markt gaat brengen, uw HR-beleid gaat voeren.. En misschien goed om te weten: recent is er een nieuwe instelling opgericht, die heet Impact Finance Belgium. Die hebben de bedoeling om meer kapitaal richting impact financiering te gaan leiden, ook door te inspireren, door samen te brengen,.. en dat gaat over grotere bedragen. Dat gaat over de klassieke banken, een beleggingsfonds, pensioenfondsen, verzekeringsmaatschappijen en dergelijke meer. We zijn vanuit Trividend enorm blij dat zo een dergelijk initiatief ontstaat. Wij zijn er ook lid van een advisory board, een advisory committee en dan hebben we het voorrecht om samen te zitten met echt directieleden van die grote banken en instellingen. En als we het hebben over ja, impact investeringen, moet ik vaststellen, ondanks dat er wel altijd een goede wil is - al dan niet onder druk van Europa – dat er veel interesse is, veel drive ook daar naartoe, maar in het ESG komen we meestal uit op de E finaal. En de S en de G, waar dat inclusies zich onder bevindt, is meestal een moeilijk verhaal. Omdat: E, environment, milieu, dat zijn meestal producten, dat zijn projecten die een verdienmodel kunnen hebben - denk dan zonnepanelen als we het even heel simpel willen voorstellen - en, die ook wel rendement financieel rendement kunnen opleveren naast het maatschappelijk rendement. Dat is iets gekend. Dat is iets waarvan dat iedereen onmiddellijk herkent waar het over gaat. Maar het inclusie verhaal is natuurlijk moeilijker om aan te duiden rechtstreeks wat bijvoorbeeld gaat de bijdrage zijn aan de rendabiliteit van een ondernemer als je inzet op inclusie. En zoals gezegd: het is veel breder dan alleen maar te werkstelling. Het kan ook een product zijn, of een dienst, denk bijvoorbeeld aan sociale huisvesting - en daar is het per definitie de rendabiliteit een stuk lager. En hoe belangrijk is rendabiliteit dan voor jullie? En voor impact investeerders in het algemeen? Voor impact investeerders ga je starten eerst met uw analyse: is dit werkelijk een product of een dienst die gaat bijdragen aan de oplossing van een maatschappelijke uitdaging? Dat is uw startbasis. Als dat er niet is, dan zijn we niet geïnteresseerd, dan gaan we ook niet verder gaan. Uiteraard is het financiële ook belangrijk. Maar de vraag is: ben je bereid om een soort van een trade off te gaan maken? Om dat voorbeeld van sociale huisvesting aan te houden: als je daardoor duidelijk kan aantonen dat die maatschappelijke nood namelijk een woning voor iedereen is, is daardoor meer gerealiseerd maar je moet er iets voor inboeten in financieel rendement, dan merken we dat dat  toch wel al een veel moeilijker verhaal is. Voor Trividend zelf: als het gaat over sociale tewerkstelling, dan kunnen wij ook wel iets lager gaan tariferen naar de verwachte vergoeding (dus interest eigenlijk) die wij daar voor gaan vragen. Omdat we dan beroep kunnen doen ook op een extern fonds onder beheer van P&V waar dat wij trekkingsrechten hebben en waar we dan ook een stuk van ons risico kunnen laten afdekken. De trade off vandaag: je moet bekijken wat vandaag de context is. Ik wil, zeker naar de toekomst – dat is één van de doelstellingen die we hebben - daar nog verder in gaan om nog meer te gaan kijken naar de trade off tussen impact en financieel rendement. Kunnen wij dat nog meer gaan inbedden in onze beslissingsstructuren? Want je wil je risico wat indekken. Kun je daar iets over zeggen? In welke mate dat je - ondertussen bestaat Trividend meer dan 20 jaar - dat dat je merkt dat de projecten of de ondernemingen die jullie financieren, dat daar een hoger risico aan hangt dan wat een klassieke bank financiert. Risico in de zin van wanbetalingen, niet terugbetalingen van leningen of participaties die afgeschreven moeten worden.. Is dat significant hoger bij jullie omwille van het feit dat je kiest voor impact investeringen dan bij een klassieke investeerder? Ten opzichte van de bank.. Je moet kijken naar welke fase dat je gaat investeren. De bank gaat niet investeren in de fase waarin wij gaan investeren. Ten opzichte van andere investeerders denk ik dat het dubbel is: dat de ambitie van een startup, van een ondernemer is, enerzijds om dat maatschappelijk probleem te gaan oplossen en de focus ligt ook een stuk daar, terwijl als ondernemer heb je heel veel bordjes in de lucht te houden om het te doen slagen. Dus je hebt naast uw klassieke redenering voor uw businessmodel, uw financieel plan te gaan realiseren, wil je ook nog altijd die focus willen blijven houden op dat impact verhaal. Dus het is wel een complexer verhaal om te gaan realiseren. Nu, meestal, dat is het goede nieuws, meestal gaat het ook wel hand in hand. En het is belangrijk om te gaan kijken: waar ga je uw succes van uw impact gaan afmeten? Hoe ga je dat gaan doen? Dus welke indicatoren ga je voorop stellen om daar te komen? En in het begin van een onderneming moet het zo goed mogelijk gaan over zaken die ook bijdragen aan hun rendabiliteit. Maar bijvoorbeeld als je zegt, ‘ik wil een mindshift' bijvoorbeeld - er zijn een aantal projecten die zeggen ‘ik wil niet meer dat er volgens de klassieke modellen drank vervoerd wordt over de baan en dus dat dat gewoon rechtstreeks van de kraan komt' -  dat zijn nieuwe modellen, maar je hebt er ook een mindshift voor nodig. Als je dan nadenkt hoeveel procent van de mensen gaan ook vanaf nu wel van de kraan rechtstreeks drinken (met al dan niet additieven dat dat er daar dan bij zitten)? Ja, dat is een lange termijn verhaal. Op korte termijn moet je echt gaan kijken naar waar ligt de rendabiliteit. Dus het kan complexer zijn om dat ook te gaan halen. Ik denk ook aan een aantal sectoren.. Het is zo dat uw producten door het feit bijvoorbeeld dat je circulair gaat werken: je gaat een aantal criteria opleggen die meestal vandaag niet goedkoper zijn. En uw grondstoffen of design voor uw product zal misschien ook wel wat complexer gemaakt worden of duurder zijn dan wanneer je zegt dat je je er niets van gaat aantrekken of dat je het gaat laten produceren in outsourcing in lage loonlande, wanneer je het laat produceren in een maatwerkbedrijf dat hier lokaal ook wel rekening houdt met een inclusieve werkvloer. Daar zitten een aantal trade offs die het soms moeilijker maken om naar die rendabiliteit te gaan. Dus dat betekent eigenlijk dat je moet durven een langere termijnvisie hebben als investeerder, dus die rendabiliteit zal misschien langer duren dan in meer klassieke. Over de historiek heen van Trividend is onze falingspercentage 1 op 6. Wat zeker voor investeringsfondsen niet slecht is. Dus ik denk afhankelijk van dat model en van ook hoe dat je er in stapt en hoe dat je er naar kijkt: op die lange termijn hoeft het niet per se meer risico te gaan inhouden. Ik wil even terug naar het thema inclusie springen. We hadden het er al even over: dat heel wat projecten en ondernemingen die jullie financieren, dat het daar belangrijk is dat er een link is naar maatwerk of dat er op andere manieren via sociale innovatie aan inclusie gewerkt wordt. Nu, ik zou me kunnen voorstellen dat er vanuit een ander perspectief kijkend er heel wat ondernemers vandaag zijn die, laten we zeggen van een andere etnische achtergrond zijn of op één of andere manier in een minderheidsgroep zitten vandaag de dag, die het ook lastiger vinden en het lastiger hebben om aan startkapitaal te geraken, of groeikapitaal. Hoe kijken jullie daarnaar? Hoe belangrijk is dat voor jullie? Dat is iets dat in de laatste 2 à 3 jaar bij Trividend ook hoger op de agenda is gekomen. Laat ons zeggen dat er in het verleden minder aandacht voor was. Het principe daar dat wij hanteren is, je kan geen juiste oplossing voor bepaalde maatschappelijke problemen naar voor schuiven als je ze niet zelf kent, als je ze niet zelf meegemaakt hebt. Dus als wij zeggen dat wij fundamenteel daar zijn om die problemen te gaan oplossen en wij gaan alleen maar investeren in de blanke man die op mezelf lijkt, dus van middelbare leeftijd.. Je kan het je gewoonweg niet voorstellen: welke oplossing is net goed voor een bepaalde doelgroep? Dus het is heel belangrijk als je dat nastreeft om in uw portefeuille een goede mix te hebben van laat ons zeggen diverse ondernemers. Maar dat is heel breed, denk ik. Vandaag de dag wordt er veel gesproken over vrouwelijk ondernemerschap -  nog geen 10% denk ik van de startups wordt geleid door een vrouwelijke founder. Ook in het zoeken naar kapitaal vandaag: wat je ziet is dat wij meestal het geluk hebben dat we beroep kunnen doen op een bepaalde vriendenkring of op ouders of op familie om dat eerste startkapitaal te leggen. De investeerders zeggen ‘je moet skin in the game tonen', ‘je moet zelf ook investeren en dan gaan we meedoen'.. Maar sommige mensen hebben die middelen gewoon niet. Dus je zit daar ook een beetje met een vicieuze cirkel. Ik moet eerlijk toegeven dat we merken dat het ook niet zo evident is om aansluiting te vinden met bijvoorbeeld meer vrouwelijke ondernemers of met een meer diverse portefeuille. Nu, als ik je even mag onderbreken, jij bent als directeur niet degene die uiteindelijk beslist ‘deze investering gaan we doen of niet'. Je hebt daarvoor een investeringscomité zoals dat dan heet, waarin allemaal wijze mensen zitten die een objectieve mening kunnen vormen over ‘past dit binnen onze doelstellingen', ‘is dit het risico dat we willen aangaan',.. En de samenstelling van zo'n investeringscomité kan mogelijk helpen om een thema als inclusie ook beter op de voorgrond te brengen of actiever in de portefeuille te laten meespelen. Hoe kijken jullie en hoe kijkt het investeringscomité daarnaar vandaag bij Trividend? Ook daar hebben we beweging gemaakt naar een meer diverse samenstelling in het investeringscomité. Ja, typisch aan Investeringscomité als je gewoon kijkt in het algemeen..   Grijze blanke mannen. Juist, en als het goed zit is misschien één van de tien die er zitten een vrouw. Het is bij ons evenwichtig als het gaat over gender, naar diversiteit is het nog niet evenwichtig. Naar andere vormen van diversiteit. Nu, wij proberen daar aandacht aan te geven en het komt neer op hetzelfde: je kan u als blanke man misschien bij een bepaalde oplossing misschien niets bij voorstellen. Als het gaat over bijvoorbeeld een bepaalde behoefte van een vrouw of.. We kunnen dan niet, we gaan eraf blijven want wij kunnen niet inschatten of dat gaat lukken of niet.  Omdat je daar zelf geen voeling hebt dus. Dat is absoluut een aandachtspunt, we zijn erop aan het werken. Dat is niet alleen daar dat dat aandachtspunt zich bevindt. De eerste screening gebeurt wel door de collega's. Als ik gestart was, waren we 100% blanke mannen in het team van Trividend, intussen is hun aandeel 60%. En op de moment dat we 2 nieuwe mensen konden aanwerven hebben we ook echt gezegd dat we gaan man aanwerven op die moment. We zijn daar dus een stukje in geslaagd al. Op het niveau van het bestuursorgaan is het nog helemaal fout. We moeten dat zeggen zoals het is. En daar gaan we ook werk van maken. Oei Ik hoop dat bestuurders niet meeluisteren,  dat er helemaal fout zit... Op vlak van diversiteit en gender dan bedoel ik, ze hebben zeker de nodige capaciteiten. Maar het staat op de agenda voor het najaar. Er is een evolutie en het belangrijkste van allemaal is dat we dat ook opnemen in ons eigen impact rapport. Als we kijken bekijken wat we doen als fonds, als we het aggregeren in onze verschillende bedrijven, welke impact: CO2, tewerkstelling en dergelijke, maar ook zelf als fonds gaan wij ondertussen ook een target hebben op vlak van diversiteit in de portefeuille. Dus wij gaan dat vanaf nu beginnen meten. En daar begint het ook mee. Er gelukkig en de laatste 3 jaar is dat ook een stuk gestegen. En hoe meet je dat dan? Wat meet je? We gaan meten hoeveel van de beslissingsnemers in de bedrijven waarin we gaan investeren bijvoorbeeld, oftewel vrouwen zijn oftewel diverse origine hebben. Maar ik dat Artemis onder meer over inclusie een bepaalde visie heeft. Want soms zijn mensen met migratieachtergrond ook heel hoog geschoold, die hebben een netwerk, die hebben ook die familie, die hebben ook die middelen. Is het dan echt wel diversiteit waarop je bent op aan het aansturen? Daar kun je ook wel afremmen. Maar het begint met het in kaart brengen en eraan te werken. En wij proberen samenwerkingen op te zoeken zoals bijvoorbeeld met She Did It, jullie zeker ook bekend. Dus dat is echt een werk van langere adem, dat vraagt dat we zelf ook gaan outreachen. Ik wil daar misschien even op tussenkomen. Ik hoorde je zeggen Bart, dat er dan gezocht wordt naar objectieve stemmen in zo'n investeringscomité of in wie je adviseert rond investeringen. Maar als ik het jou hoor uitleggen, Frederik, dan zoek je eigenlijk naar een manier van hoe dat je dat meer participatief kan vormgeven. Hoe dat je eigenlijk mensen die soms in een bepaald hokje worden geduwd via ‘doelgroepdenken', hoe dat zij deel van de oplossing kunnen zijn, hoe dat ook het marktpotentieel dat voor heel veel van die aangedragen oplossingen daar is dat dat ook meer gezien wordt. Dus je zou kunnen zeggen dat je eigenlijk zoekt naar een manier dat er ‘betrokken advies' komt, hè? Dat je ook als investeringsfonds advies krijgt van mensen die een bepaalde graad van betrokkenheid hebben bij het potentieel dat in die oplossing zit. Klopt, die zich kunnen voorstellen ‘dat gaat werken, dat gaat niet werken'.  Dat is iets dat voor de rest van ons heel moeilijk is soms om te kunnen interpreteren. Ik denk dat we daar moeten over nadenken hoe dat we dat kunnen organiseren. Dus los van misschien dat formeel investeringscomité - misschien zijn er wel andere manieren ook om in de voorbereiding van een beoordeling van een aanvraag om daar ook wel mensen te gaan rond betrekken. Nu moet ik spontaan denken aan een boek dat ik van mijn schoondochter gekregen heb: Invisible Women. Ik weet niet of je het ooit gelezen hebt en zo niet is het een absolute aanrader. Waarin met tal van voorbeelden aangetoond wordt dat onze wereld vol zit van oplossingen, tools, diensten producten die door mannen bedacht en ontworpen zijn en dus nooit vanuit het perspectief van een vrouw bekeken zijn. En als je dat dan leest, dan sta je verstomd van hoe dom wij met zijn allen zijn om dat soort dingen echt massaal te blijven op de markt brengen, bij wijze van spreken.. Die betrokkenheid, die participatie vanuit verschillende hoeken om naar een oplossing, naar een ondernemersidee te kijken, is inderdaad toe te juichen. Daar wil ik graag op inpikken want als we het hebben over de klassieker investeringscomités maar ook nog altijd voor een stukje binnen Trividend: aan wat ga je uw succes afmeten? En ja, als dat voornamelijk ingegeven is door mannelijke succesfactoren.. Als je gewoon kijkt naar wie er in de financiële sector werkt: dat zijn voor een heel groot deel mannen die zijn gedreven door financieel succes. En als je kijkt naar zorgsector, dus ook bijvoorbeeld bij Uilenspel, zijn het allemaal vrouwen die daar werken. Er is gelukkig in één man die we daar hebben kunnen aanwerven maar die voeling met die oplossing, die gedrevenheid om daar uw energie uit te halen en te zeggen van ‘ik ben succesvol als ik dat kan oplossen'..  Daar zit echt een verschil in. Je zou dus verwachten dat bij jullie gemiddeld meer vrouwelijke ondernemers aankloppen dan mannen. Dat is jammer genoeg niet het geval. Wat we zien is dat – en dat zijn dan meer de bredere cijfers - dat slechts 10% van de startups door een vrouw wordt opgericht. En daar stijgen jullie zelf ook niet boven uit? We zitten op 17% vandaag. Het is beter dan het gemiddelde. Maar nog veel te laag? Ja zeker. Ik weet uit ervaring dat heel wat investeerders op het moment dat zij investeren in een jonge onderneming, dat ze geneigd zijn om die onderneming niet alleen financieel bij te staan, maar ook met raad en daad. Dat je ook een bestuursmandaat of een coachende rol op een of andere manier opneemt.  Uit gezond eigenbelang, wellicht, want als er een stuk mee gecoacht wordt, dan is er misschien ook meer kans op succes van de onderneming, enzovoorts. Doen jullie dat ook? En zo ja, coachen jullie ook bijvoorbeeld op thema's als inclusie, in dat geval, als dat over projecten gaat die jullie steunen? We gaan in één op de twee van onze investeringen, net ietsje meer dan de helft van onze investeringen, gaan we effectief ook iemand aan boord brengen in het bestuursorgaan of in de Raad van Advies. Soms is dat ook een verplichting dat we - zoals dat je zelf aanhaalt - dat we zeggen, kijk, wij geloven in die twee founders (meestal gaat het over één of twee founders bij een startup), maar er is een bepaalde competentie of een netwerk dat we willen binnenbrengen. Eerlijkheid ook daar vandaag de dag gebeurt het slechts in een aantal gevallen dat het gaat over die impact visie er echt in brengen. Die impact visie: soms gaat dat over inclusie heel duidelijk en we merken dat het voor bepaalde startups die aan het groeien zijn, dat het soms verleidelijk is om bijvoorbeeld toch te gaan grijpen naar een ander land om aan outsourcing te gaan doen en om niet meer samen te werken met een maatwerkbedrijf. Wij proberen dat te verankeren in het contract. De reden waarom dat we investeren is omdat je die jobs creëert bij maatwerkbedrijf. Als je daarmee gaat stoppen, ja, dan kunnen wij eruit. Of dan ga je bijvoorbeeld meer financieel rendement, meer interest moeten betalen. Dus dat gaan we verankeren en soms gaan we ook wel echt met iemand mee aan boord om dat te blijven bewaken, daar te blijven op duwen. In veel van de startups is de drive net wel die inclusie an sich: armoede mee gaan oplossen, sociale huisvesting en dergelijke meer. In zo'n cases gaan we eerder een financieel profiel erbij steken of een marketing. Tot slot Frederik, wat zou je als advies nog meegeven vandaag de dag aan een startende ondernemer? Of misschien zelfs aan een investeerder? Ja, ik heb veel advies dat ik zou willen meegeven. Om te beginnen denk ik, wat heel belangrijk is: mensen die een idee hebben die bijvoorbeeld een product kunnen ontwikkelen, worden soms een beetje verliefd op het product of de oplossing gaan soms te laat kijken of dat nu echt de manier is waarop we dat probleem gaan oplossen. Is het een behoefte bij mensen? Gaat dat echt fundamenteel dat probleem oplossen? Ze gaan blijven doorontwikkelen, maar soms is het beter om te zeggen, oh efkes wachten. En dan komt daar advies daar als volgende fase bij. Laat u omringen door andere mensen - sta daar open voor. Jij bent misschien supergoed en een bepaald idee over een bepaalde oplossing. Maar misschien minder goed in het financiële of in het marketing luik of in effectief te gaan kijken of dit aansluit.  Hoe ga je dat bevragen of dat dit nu echt wel de oplossing is? Dus laat je omringen door  mensen. En wat ik zeker ook wil meegeven: als we het hebben over inclusie, dat zijn soms moeilijk te rentabiliseren ingrepen die je gaat doen. Maar als je dat in kaart kan brengen van in het begin: dankzij die specifieke manier van werken, of dat HR-beleid, dat je toch wel bepaalde maatschappelijke kosten kan besparen, dat je mensen kansen gaat bieden en vanuit activering tewerk gaat stellen - dat heeft een bepaalde positieve impact op de maatschappij. Probeer daarvan in begin zo goed mogelijk in kaart te brengen over wat dat dan gaat. Want de nieuwere, innovatieve manier van financieringen zullen ook daarover gaan. Namelijk welke positieve maatschappelijke externaliteiten breng je teweeg met jouw interventie, of welke kosten ga je besparen. Als je dat goed in kaart hebt, dan ga je je meer kunnen opstellen als een dienstverlener bijvoorbeeld naar een lokale overheid of naar de Vlaamse overheid. Terwijl je vandaag de dag misschien nog subsidie-afhankelijk bent. En die gaan er sowieso uit. Maar als je kan aantonen ‘kijk, door mijn interventie kan je efficiënter uw doelstelling als overheid gaan bereiken' of ‘ik kan mensen zodanig goed opleiden en vormen dat een klassiek bedrijf die gaat verwelkomen en dat die snel productief gaat kunnen zijn'. Je moet dat in kaart kunnen brengen. En dan is een bedrijf misschien wel bereid om daar ook voor te betalen. Dus het is een beetje die mindshift naar andere soorten verdienmodellen die in se vroeger misschien door subsidies betaald werden. Men noemt dat vandaag ‘outcome funding'. Of je hebt de social impact bonds en dergelijke meer, die meer zijn opgevat als een test om te zien of iets werkt, en zo ja dan kan je er misschien wel dienstverlening voor beginnen doen. Naar investeerders toe - en dat is even goed naar ondernemers toe - denk ik dat heel goed is om u te laten omringen door het diverse scala van financierders. Afhankelijk van de fase waarin je zit, heb je andere financiering nodig. Klassieke startups of zelfs grotere bedrijven die aan innovatie doen, die nieuwe projecten doen, worden ook veelal gesubsidieerd voor onderzoek en ontwikkeling. Vanuit VLAIO zijn er een heleboel soorten subsidies die je kan gaan gebruiken. Dat is geen schande. Soms wordt er gezegd, ja, subsidies..? Nee, nee, het gaat u toelaten om te innoveren om te experimenteren, om aan te tonen dat iets werkt. En dan moet je dus gaan kijken in de volgende fase welke andere soort financiering kan je daarbij gaan koppelen. Als het gaat over iets moeilijker, dus bijvoorbeeld sociale huisvesting – ik neem dat als voorbeeld omdat dat gewoon heel tastbaar is - wat iets minder rendement geeft, als je dat kunt combineren, bijvoorbeeld met een overheidsgarantie of een stichting die ook van filantropie een stukje zal bijdragen, is het misschien wel voldoende rendement financieel om dan naar de achterban van de grotere investeerders te gaan, om op de markt kunnen gaan. Bundel jullie allemaal samen. Ik denk dat dat ook de toekomst is: combineren van verschillende vormen van financiering, verschillende insteken en zo kan je wel naar die nét voldoende rendement gaan. Ik heb het gevoel dat we nog heel wat zouden kunnen verder breien op veel van de dingen die je gezegd hebt. Zeer interessant. En ik hoop dat het ook voor de luisteraars interessant was. Wellicht biedt het aanknopingspunten om daar nog verder vragen over te stellen, maar ik neem aan dat mensen altijd bij jullie welkom zijn?

If your child is struggling with identity issues (and possibly LGBTQ+) you may be wondering what to do and say. How do you let them know that it's okay to come out and you are there for them? Or how do you find help and support if you aren't sure that it is okay? It is crucial that you get yourself to a mental space to support your children as they come out as LGBTQIA+.

Today we talk all things Health Savings Accounts. An HSA can be a really powerful savings tool but, like everything else in the world of finance, it literally pays to know the game and play by the rules.   The HSA can serve as a long-term savings account for medical expenses sometime in your lifetime—whether one week down the road or 40 years down the road. It is the only type of account that, when done right, gives you triple (and maybe quadruple) tax advantages.   This sounds like a great deal, which then begs the question: “Why isn't everybody starting an HSA and dumping all their money into it?”   Listen in as Stephanie and Kevin answer that question and more, including best practices for putting money in and taking money out of your account, what your HSA may be able to cover that a typical medical insurance plan doesn't, and how to ultimately decide whether or not to take advantage of this (potentially) powerful financial vehicle.   Key Topics: The difference between a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and an HSA. (4:25) The HSA's four tax advantages. (07:29) “So, this sounds awesome. Why doesn't everybody put all their money into this thing?” (9:01) If you have a high-deductible health plan, can you put a large sum into an HSA? (11:28) Considerations around HSA catch-up contributions. (15:11) When to take money out of an HSA. (16:30) What your HSA covers that your typical medical insurance doesn't. (20:02) “What happens if I die and I've got a balance in my HSA?” (24:06) How to decide whether or not to open an HSA. (28:15) “With an HSA, you don't have to have earned income.” (32:21)   Resources Mentioned: Take Back Retirement episode 24: She Did It!

[06:35]Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) are actually physical treatments, they’re not energy-based, and they start conversations? [08:06] This is not just for emotional issues, this is also treats physical pain? [08:45] You also specialize as a coming-out coach for the LGBTQ community. I’ve never heard that term before. Can you take us through that process? [10:36] You were married, had a daughter…how old is your daughter? [10:47] Does she know your whole history now? [11:32] Were there many gay people in your high school? [12:05] In high school, did you have an inkling? [13:16] Does conversion therapy still exist these days? [14:25] You do hear stories these days of kids coming out earlier and earlier. Does it feel like it’s easier and a more accepting process today?

[25:38] There have been great strides that have been made… however, there’s current discussion of removal of Marriage Equality and further protection needed, so there is still a long way to go. [26:49] Is private coaching your main focus right now? [28:06] It’s important to not allow certain areas of our life to become depleted while working on other areas. [28:31] You mention how people-pleasing is such an issue in current society… what are your top five tips for people-pleasers?

Gabrielle Ortega believes self care is more than the luxurious treatments of face masks and spa days. It includes your spiritual care, mental health, and setting boundaries.  Gabrielle is the Owner and Founder of OM Therapy Coaching, a conscious life coaching business that aims to help people decode their minds, heal from past wounds, discover their power, and break through to live their ideal lives. Formerly a trauma-oriented psychotherapist, Gabrielle integrates the Western sciences of Psychology and Neurobiology with ancient Eastern philosophies and practices, to create customized programs that focus on whole-person healing and wellness. Gabrielle is currently working on her doctorate in clinical psychology at Pacifica University, where she is studying the neurological effects of meditation on trauma survivors. She also sees 1:1 clients virtually from her home in Los Angeles, California. She has been featured on podcasts like "She Did It!" with Sydney Nanberg, and is a current featured speaker for the "Authentically You Leadership" show with Tia Christiansen. Gabrielle will also be launching her first 12-week group coaching program in January 2020, Rebirth, where she will be guiding small groups of women through their own self-awakening journeys! Gabrielle is considered one of the leaders of the new mental health paradigm, and looks forward to changing the way the world approaches emotional and mental wellness. Today, Gabrielle and I dig deep into how we can become the biggest, baddest version of ourselves, the self awareness it takes to get there, and the importance of being radically honest. We have to own how we are showing up in our life and take ownership of the ways in which we may contribute to both our pleasure and our pain. Let’s dig in.  Thank you so much for joining me today! I love Gabrielle’s reminder to have compassion and to forgive ourselves on our journey. We did the best we could with the knowledge and awareness that we had at the time of past events. Forgiveness and self awareness are where it is at.

Freedom & Whisky Written for Television by: Toni Graphia Directed by: Brendan Maher   This week's episode slows down to cover a short period of the Christmas season 1968. Don't for one second think you can put away those tissues for holiday cheer. The struggles are real. The fear is spoken. The complexities of adult child and parent relationships are navigated.  We see Claire's foundational determination and skill as a physician. We see her fragile and vulnerable, when she acknowledges herself as a woman with needs and desires. We see her as mother bear, fierce, tender, loving, and the willingness to be sacrificial. She's been hurt and shut off the passionate and sexual side of herself. She's lived for her daughter and her work. It's time for her to live whole once more. She's been "living half a life," according to good friend Joe Abernathy. He's correct. Go get him, Claire. Insert that fuzzy ear worm, Let It Go for Claire here. Brianna has matured and grown through her father Frank's death and the revelations in Scotland. She's no longer the bratty girl. She sees herself as a woman in her own right. She sees her mother as a woman separate from being her mother. She knows she is grown and not only urges her mother to go, she asks her to go. Jamie deserves to know who she is.  Roger is not a knight in shining armor, he's an orphan like Brianna. He's a friend and future lover. He understands Brianna in a way no one else can. He understands her mother in a way no one else can either. He's a kind, generous, and brilliant man, who happens to be falling in love with Brianna. Joe Abernathy is a friend and wingman. Claire's only friend throughout her medical school and hospital career. He is trustworthy and an advocate for Claire to live a full life. I expect, he will be there for anything Brianna needs. He can be like an uncle in my estimation. Did Claire tell him EVERYTHING about Jamie and her 18th century adventure? I think she must have.  The zinger in this episode was Candy, um Sandy, confronting Claire at an event to honor Frank Randall. She accuses Claire of being selfish and making Frank and Bree live a lie. She should have let him go. Claire offered Frank his freedom more than once. Does Sandy know this? Or is it her grief talking? What was the point of this confrontation? I think it's a vehicle for Brianna to ask who the woman is. Also, for Claire to have clarity on what she needs to do.  There were some three beats to cement ideas in this episode. Brianna being an engineer, not a historian. Claire's insecurities over her looks, sexiness, and age. Claire's willingness to stay because she can't bear to leave Brianna. She's a good mother. Brianna urging her mother to go because she is an adult and can care for herself. She's a maturing daughter. I adored how Roger and Brianna looked like ghostly images in the window when Claire looked up as she left for Scotland. Then the light plays on Claire as she was in the cab making her look like she was transitioning to a new place from the 20th century. Finally, the puddle from the cab to Edinburgh was a brilliant transition. Combined, those images created a feeling of time travel without literally needing her to go to the stones onscreen. Bravo! Lastly, Jamie and the print shop. You didn't think I would forget about that did you? Claire makes it to Edinburgh and finds her way to Carfax Close. Outside the printshop you can feel her apprehension and excitement. She opens the door and he questions who is there. Following his voice, she says who it is. He looks up, she seems a ghost, and he faints. #DunbonnetDown. He crashes to the floor. She gasps. Fade to black. SHE DID IT! She found him! We know he couldn't have died from a coronary because there's more episodes this season. And this isn't Game of Thrones. George R.R. Martin might have killed Jamie off in front of Claire. We laughed. We cried. We cheered. We grabbed smelling salts for Jamie.
