V pohraničí vznikly v posledních deseti letech velké průmyslové zóny. Zaměstnávají tisíce lidí, přinášejí miliardy do rozpočtu. Ale region nebohatne. Méně peněz do metropole, více menším městům, vyzývá byznysmen Milan Kratina. Ten patří mezi nejbohatší Čechy a je zakladatelem holdingu Accolade.Karlovarský region má řadu nelichotivých prvenství. Nejnižší mzdy, nejvíc exekucí, nejhorší školství. Expremiér Andrej Babiš ho označil za „nejhorší kraj úplně ve všem“. Firma Accolade, která staví průmyslové parky, si ale právě tento region vybrala pro své obří investice. Za poslední zhruba dekádu do výstavby šesti průmyslových parků na Chebsku a Teplicku „nasypala“ přes 18 miliard korun.„Tyhle naše regiony jsou skvěle umístěné. Nemusí se cítit méněcenně. Opravdu není lepší místo v Evropě, odkud můžete dodávat, než je Karlovarský kraj. Možná ještě Plzeňský kraj je stejně dobrý. Když se nám povede zvednout školství, to je alfa a omega, budeme investovat do infrastruktury a povede se nám víc propojit region s Bavorskem, tak má ten region ohromný potenciál růstu,“ vyjmenovává úkoly pro vládu jeden z nejbohatších Čechů.Jenže Karlovarsko a Ústecko, kde Kratina se svým byznysovým partnerem Zdeňkem Šoustalem také podnikají, bohatnou pomalu. Jeden z problémů je nastavení rozpočtového určení daní, řekl Kratina. Systém, který říká, jak se mezi obce a stát rozdělí celkové vybrané daně, by měl podle šéfa Accolade obce výrazněji zvýhodnit.„Lidé nevidí přínosy, které haly pro ně osobně budou mít. Kdyby věděli, že každý rok dostanou vysoké desítky nebo malé stovky milionů korun, tak by hned mohli říkat: Něco se tu sice bude stavět, ale budeme tady mít víc peněz na lékaře, na učitele, na školky, na školy,“ řekl Kratina ve speciálu podcastu Ve vatě, který vznikl v rámci volebního vysílání Seznam Zpráv.„My nedokážeme motivovat obce a kraje k tomu, aby rozvíjely svoje průmyslové zóny. Z našich hal jdou dneska miliardy korun do státního rozpočtu a jednotlivé obce a města z toho vlastně nedostávají vůbec nic nebo dostávají extrémně málo ve srovnání s Německem, Polskem, Rakouskem, Holandskem. A tím pádem se nám nezavírají ty nůžky. Kraje nám nebohatnou a města nám nebohatnou a je to právě tím, že peníze jdou do Prahy,“ kritizuje Kratina.To má i politické dopady, příhraniční oblasti volí jinak, podotkl Kratina. „Pokud chceme být vzdělanější a soběstačnější a nechceme, aby lidé volili extremisty, tak musíme bohatství rozdělovat mezi regiony rovnoměrněji, to by měla být zásadní politika vlády.“Základem jsou dobré školyZa klíčový problém „pohraničí“ má Milan Kratina kvalitu vzdělávání. Protože je český vzdělávací systém málo propustný, děti rodičů se základní školou nebo učilištěm končí nejčastěji také jen se „základkou“ či výučním listem, následně s nízkým platem a častěji než kde jinde také s exekucí na krku.Firmy ale chtějí logicky budovat tam, kde jsou kvalifikovaní zaměstnanci. „Jeden z našich nájemců měl být výrobce tlumičů pro BMW a Volvo. Svoje výzkumné a vývojové centrum ale nakonec vybudoval v Polsku, protože nevěřil Chebu a karlovarskému regionu, že by tam byl dostatek  inženýrů,“ říká Kratina, jehož společnost staví právě i v Polsku, Německu, na Slovensku či ve Španělsku.Podle byznysmena musí změna začít už na základních školách, střední školství je zase příliš rozdrobené. „Máme hrozně moc odborných středních škol a učňáků, víc než 230 oborů a máme málo všeobecného vzdělání, jen 30 %, Evropská unie má 50 %. Všeobecné vzdělání je extrémně důležité pro digitální ekonomiku a zástupci digitální ekonomiky jsou právě ti, kteří se dneska o ten region zajímají nejvíc. Pro společnosti z e-commerce je Karlovarský kraj úplně perfektní,“ uvedl.„Mrháme talentem a děti nejdou na střední školy, na které by mohly jít, protože na nich není dostatečný počet míst. To je osmdesátková ekonomika. Nutíme je, aby byly autoklempíři. Já ale nechci, aby naše děti byly kamioňáci. Věřím, že kamiony budou autonomní a naše děti je budou vyvíjet,“ říká Kratina.Karlovarský kraj je jediným v České republice, který nemá vlastní vysokou školu. V poslední době se region snaží situaci změnit. „Kraj dneska ve spolupráci se Západočeskou univerzitou chystá polytechniku. Je to krok dobrým směrem, ale zase to ukazuje, že nemáme žádné ambice,“ míní Kratina, který fandí ideji česko-německé univerzity.Vybudujme česko-bavorskou univerzitu„Bavoráci můžou jako nejbohatší region čerpat peníze jen na přeshraniční spolupráci, takže já bych udělal česko-bavorskou vysokou školu pro digitální ekonomiku Cheb–Waldsassen. Vzít ten talent z Bavorska a talent z České republiky, protože v regionu jsou nejlepší a největší hráči v oblasti jako e-commerce,“ popisuje Milan Kratina.Region přitom trápí „odliv mozků“. Slabá nabídka vzdělání nutí mladé z kraje odcházet, ročně se z kraje vystěhuje tisíc studentů a přes polovinu z nich už se nevrátí. Část obyvatel zase pravidelně pendluje za prací do Německa.Podle Kratiny je blízkost hranice i 35 let po revoluci stále cítit. Nejen na špatné přeshraniční dopravě, ale i opticky. „Chebané říkají, když jedou do Bavorska, že jedou do Jižní Koreje a pak se vracejí zpátky do té Severní, protože tam máme ty tržnice,“ glosuje podnikatel.Celý Karlovarský kraj je podle výzkumů PAQ Research v pásmu destabilizující chudoby, nadprůměrný počet lidí je tam v exekuci, v bytové nouzi nebo v sociálně vyloučených lokalitách.Nejnižší mzdyPrůměrná mzda v Karlovarském kraji činila ve druhém čtvrtletí 39 031 korun, nejméně v celé republice. Podle Milana Kratiny s sebou kvalitní byznys nese také vyšší mzdy. „Čím zajímavější společnosti máte, tím lepší byznys dělají, mají na něm vyšší marži, nabízejí zajímavější pracovní místa. To je rozvoj ekonomiky. Nebudeme přece pořád držet při životě něco, co sice funguje a je to tradiční, ale ti lidé tam berou málo peněz. Potřebujeme firmy, které lidem dokážou nabídnout mnohem víc peněz. Nesmíme ustrnout před 50 lety,“ přemýšlí Milan Kratina.Pod střechami Accolade na Chebsku a Teplicku vyrábí či skladují známé firmy Nexans, Raben či Maersk, logistický gigant DHL, Tchibo, ShipMonk, Kaufland. Jde o vysoce robotizované provozy. „To, co v Tchibu dříve dělalo 1200 lidí, dneska s robotizací dělá 350. Nabízí tam 200 extrémně zajímavých pozic jako řízení automatizovaných a robotických systémů,“ vypočítává Kratina.Bude „sudetská dálnice“?Třetí zásadní oblastí, která by pomohla regionu zvednout životní úroveň, je lepší infrastruktura. „Dálnice Praha – Karlovy Vary se staví, protože všichni potřebují na filmový festival dojet za hodinu, a ne za dvě. Ale prioritní by mělo být propojení na německé dálnice a železniční spojení s Německem, které dneska vůbec nefunguje.  „Sudetská dálnice“ mezi Karlovými Vary a Ústím nad Labem je něco, co by kopcovitému regionu taky pomohlo,“ myslí si Kratina.Výstavbě ale leckdy hází klacky pod nohy i stát, stěžuje si Kratina. „Na Plzeňsku nám místní správa z Ministerstva životního prostředí řekla, že podnikáme v osmi zemích, tak přece ten projekt nemusíme dělat v České republice. Ale my chceme investovat i v Novém Boru, protože jsme patrioti,“ uzavírá podnikatel.*****Ve vatě. Podcast noviná...

This week I am delighted to welcome to The Joy of Cruising Podcast Dave Monk, the embodiment of the blog Shipmonk.Dave Monk is an award-winning cruise blogger and journalist who has written for the UK's major publications. Dave created Shipmonk, the blog that cruise line executives, travel media, and passionate cruisers visit for up-to-date cruise industry news, ship reviews, and features. I wrote about Dave in the just-released The Joy of Cruising Again amzn.to/3lAfyON in a section called “The Cruise Communicators.”Dave is a long-tenured UK professional journalist, and more recently the most prolific and keenly read cruise reporter on UK social media. Dave has been a journalist for over 40 years. In 2013, while still working at the newspaper Metro, Dave decided to establish a cruise blog, Shipmonk. In 2016 he was granted early retirement, which enabled him to pursue cruise writing in earnest. Now he was able to go on more cruises and to write about them at Shipmonk. He also began writing regularly for World of Cruising magazine, and travel writing for the Daily Mirror and Express, and then for the Daily Telegraph. With 100 sailings, Dave has experienced an incredible diversity of cruises—from four-passenger motor yachts to the biggest cruise ships in the world. His favorite destination is Alaska, although Dave also loves the Norwegian fjords and the Caribbean islands. He cruises so much he has to turn down what would be bucket list sailing for the rest of us—like the Galapagos twice!‘Any day at sea is better than a day in the office'—that's the signature adage of the late John Honeywell, aka Captain Greybeard, iconic United Kingdom journalist, and cruise writer. It was the epigraph, the opening quote, to my first cruise book The Joy of Cruising. I thought it perfectly captured the essence of the book—the joy of cruising. I repeated it at the beginning of Dave's feature in The Joy of Cruising Again because John Honeywell was a great friend and former colleague of Dave. Dave is an iconic UK journalist and cruise writer in his own right. And Captain Greybeard's quote perfectly captures the essence of Dave's story. He loves what he does—cruising and writing about it.Support the show

I am delighted to welcome to The Joy of Cruising Podcast, The Jenn Danielle, who I could refer to as a social media star, leading solo travel content creator, influencer, brand ambassador, or vlogger! I'll refer to her as Jennifer, and ask her to share her insight into a topic of immense curiosity to passionate cruisers like our listeners: critically acclaimed, rapidly growing, and yet a mystery to most cruisers—cruising on Virgin Voyages. In the three books comprising The Joy of Cruising Trilogy, I have had little content regarding Virgin Voyages. When the 1st book The Joy of Cruising was published early 2019, cruisers hadn't heard of the line yet. The new release The Joy of Cruising Again, was startedwhen the cruise world was in a state of suspended animation, although I said this in the introductory section: I'm intrigued by Virgin Voyages; the upstart cruise line jettisoned two cruising institutions—buffets and, wait for it…kids! I got into travel at all-inclusive resorts where buffets were the “entry drug” that led me to try cruising. At first, I was put off by the prospect of no buffets. After COVID-19, buffets are no longer as significant a part of the cruise experience for me. Virgin's no kids policy also gave me pause. Before the pandemic, I almost always cruised with my granddaughter. And as a young adult I grew up in cruising by taking my young daughters with me. So, it's definitely a new passenger experience for me. Later in the book after cruising had restarted, I featured UK cruise writer legend Dave Monk (Shipmonk) whose photo at the naming of Scarlet Lady showing Richard Branson dancing on the table to Rihanna, was front page in UK. By the way, Shipmonk will be my guest on The Joy of Cruising Podcast in August.Now, Virgin Voyages, whose Scarlet Lady was named Best New Cruise Ship in 2021 at the Cruise Critic Awards, dominated the Ocean Cruising category of the 2022 Cruise Critics Editors Picks Award (Best Dining; Best Nightlife; Best for LGBQT+ Travelers). We are booked on Scarlet Lady, interest in the unique cruise line is sky high, and there's no one better to share her perspective on Virgin Voyages  than The Jenn Danielle!The Joy of Cruising Again is now available!

David Pavlík prošel pěknou řádkou technologických gigantů a zakotvil jako CTO ShipMonk. V tomto podcastu jsme probrali jeho zkušenosti z těchto firem.

Vašek Jareš je doslova ztělesněním pořekadla „ve správnou chvíli na správném místě“. Když se v roce 2015 přihlásil na neplacenou stáž v nově vznikajícím floridském startupu, neměl ani tušení, že jako founding CTO ShipMonku stráví na prosluněném americkém jihu další 4 roky. Dnes Vašek pomalu předává své CTO žezlo Davidu Pavlíkovi, aby se mohl opět věnovat milovanému programování a architektuře samotného systému. „Mnich Doručovatel“ je k nezastavení a raketově roste. Jeho technologická mysl a logistické končetiny museli jen během první poloviny tohoto roku najít způsob, jak místo 800 tisíc balíků měsíčně odesílat více než 2 miliony.

In this episode, we’re going to familiarize you with the world of prototyping and mass-production, specifically as it relates to crowdfunding. Whom should you contact? How can you best keep your ideas from being stolen? How can you best ensure quality? We’re going to overview all of these topics and more in this episode with our very special guest, Gaston Liang, who is an expert in sourcing, manufacturing, packaging, and logistics. So, let’s get started… ---------------------------------------------------------------- ⭐ During this episode, we detail these takeaways:  1. Crowdfunding campaigners should develop their concepts into working prototypes before starting to raise funds to mass-produce them.  2. Creators should ideally patent their ideas, both in their own country and in their manufacturer’s country, before approaching a manufacturer—and should hire manufacturers through an NNN agreement to minimize their risk of their ideas being stolen.  3. Creators should consider manufacturing in Asia due to lower costs, may use tools like Alibaba or Jungle Scout or in-person visits to explore manufacturing options for their type of product, should avoid profiteering middlemen like sourcing agents, and should consider both communication and trust when choosing among viable options, plus the ability to accommodate unpredictable order sizes during mass-production phase.  4. Some manufacturers (like The LGG Corp) can help creators through all phases of production by providing cost-effective professional services like vetting concepts for viability, sketching them, rendering them, engineering and/or designing them into beautiful working prototypes, creating molds to mass-produce finished products, designing manuals and/or packaging to accompany these products, mass-producing and then assembling all of these items properly, warehousing them, shipping them worldwide, and handling legal requirements throughout this process—and it’s advantageous to hire a single agent for all of these tasks who can become intimately familiar with the product.  5. An average product may require several thousand dollars over 3-4 weeks to be transformed from concept to prototype, which creators may then market-test and perhaps iteratively refine—and it’s ideal to make all errors during prototype phase while it’s cheapest to correct them.  6. Creators should ideally produce at least 3-5 final prototypes for various purposes, which may include durability testing, product certifications, media production, user feedback, reporter reviews, and packaging design.  7. Crowdfunding campaigners should avoid being overcharged for molds for mass-production, and should expect to pay 30%-50% upfront for mass-production.  8. Creators can encourage high-quality mass-production through both effective project management and hired third-party inspections.  9. Although manufacturers may ship finished products temporarily to creators to store and then mail to consumers, creators may hire professional fulfillment agencies like ShipMonk to perform these tasks, instead, but it’s generally both cheapest and fastest for creators to hire a manufacturer (like The LGG Corp) that performs these tasks. ✍️ Click here for this episode’s complete show notes! ----------------------------------------------------------------
