In der dreiteiligen Podcast-Reihe spricht Jonas Rashedi mit den Gästen Michael, Steven und Philipp über die datengetriebene Transformation bei O2 – aus strategischer, operativer und technischer Sicht. Die Serie spannt den Bogen von der Vision eines vernetzten Omnichannel-Vertriebs über konkrete Ansätze im Performance Management bis hin zur technischen Umsetzung einer Customer Data Platform (CDP). Anschaulich wird dabei, wie datenbasierte Kundenerlebnisse entstehen. Klar wird: Der Schlüssel zum Erfolg liegt in der nahtlosen Verbindung von Menschen, Prozessen und Technologie – getragen von einer durchdachten Datenstrategie. Wie übersetzt man eine große Vision in echte Umsetzung? Welche Teams, Technologien und Denkweisen braucht es, um aus strategischen Ideen konkrete Maßnahmen zu machen? Darüber spricht Jonas Rashedi in der zweiten Folge dieser Reihe mit Steven Burkhardt, Head of Digital Analytics und Performance Management bei O2. Steven steht dabei genau an der Schnittstelle zwischen den Disziplinen: IT, Vertrieb, Marketing, Brand, Customer Service – und vor allem Daten. Das Gespräch zeigt, wie wichtig ein funktionierendes Zusammenspiel zwischen analytischer Tiefe und technologischem Fundament ist. Die Customer Data Plattform wird bei O2 nicht nur als Buzzword verwendet, sondern konsequent als Bindeglied zwischen Kanälen, Identitäten und Prozessen gedacht. Auf dieser Basis entstehen übergreifende Use Cases – von Lead Management bis Next-Best-Offer. Spannend ist dabei auch der Ausblick: AI-Modelle werden eingesetzt, um Sales Calls zu analysieren, Prozesse zu verstehen und sogar Service-Bots mit dem Wissen echter Gespräche zu trainieren. So entsteht Schritt für Schritt eine Architektur, die bereit ist für eine Zukunft, in der Kunden nicht mehr nur über Website und App interagieren, sondern per Bot, Sprache oder Device. Steven erzählt dabei sehr reflektiert von der Realität im Konzern – zwischen Legacy-IT, regulatorischen Anforderungen und der ständigen Abwägung zwischen „Build“ und „Buy“. Das alles macht diese Folge zu einem intensiven Deep Dive in eine der spannendsten Data-Reisen, die gerade in Deutschland passieren.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1069: Trump eyes higher auto tariffs and axes California's EV rules, Google quietly gains ground with Gen Z shoppers, and an AI-generated NBA Finals ad shows how fast, cheap, and creative the future of advertising can be.Show Notes with links:In a high-energy speech, President Trump proposed raising auto tariffs and celebrated a legislative rollback of California's EV mandates — a double-down on his strategy to protect domestic auto manufacturing and consumer choice.Trump suggested raising auto tariffs above the current 25% level to encourage automakers to produce more vehicles domestically.He pointed to GM's $4 billion investment in U.S. plants as a positive result of existing tariff policies.The President signed legislation last week that rolls back California's zero-emissions vehicle mandate, which would have banned new gas car sales by 2035.Dealer and manufacturer groups applauded the repeal, arguing it protects affordability and nationwide regulatory consistency.“Customers don't want the government telling them what kind of car to buy,” said John Bozzella, CEO of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation.Eleven states, led by California, have filed a legal challenge against the repeal, calling it an overreach that undermines state-level emissions standards.Google is making gains with Gen Z shoppers, chipping away at Amazon's dominance in product search. New data shows young consumers are increasingly turning to Google — not just for browsing, but even when they know exactly what they want to buy.Morgan Stanley data shows a rise in 16–24-year-olds using Google for product research, both general and specificAs of March, 30% of Gen Z shoppers who knew what they wanted still started on Google — up from 21% last fall.Meanwhile, Amazon's share dropped from 41% to 34% over the same period.Analysts suggest Google's generative AI tools, like AI Overviews and Google Lens, may be fueling the shift.“The volume of commercial queries on Google Search has increased with the launch of AI Overviews,” said Google's Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler.An AI-generated ad made in just two days aired during the NBA Finals, showing how creators can now move faster and cheaper than ever before. Using Google's Veo 3 and a lean workflow, one filmmaker delivered a national commercial at a fraction of traditional production costs.AI filmmaker PJ Accetturo produced a 30-second TV spot for betting platform Kalshi in just two days using Veo 3 and Gemini.His process involved AI-assisted scripting, iterative prompt generation, and rapid video output, yielding 15 usable clips from 300–400 generations.The entire production cost came in at roughly $2,000 — a 95% reduction from traditional ad budgets.Editing was done with tools like CapCut and Premiere, allowing fJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

In Folge #157 des E-Commerce Dudes Podcasts sprechen Daniel Höhnke und Tim Schestag über die großen Themen der Woche im digitalen Handel – mit einem besonderen Fokus auf die Shoptalk Europe 2025 in Barcelona und den wichtigsten News der Woche. Daniel berichtet frisch von der Shoptalk Europe, die vergangene Woche in Barcelona stattfand. Die Messe gilt als das führende Event für Innovationen im europäischen Handel und vereint über 4.500 Entscheider, Tech-Player und Marken aus mehr als 70 Ländern. Daniel schildert, warum gerade deutsche Teilnehmer enorm vom internationalen Austausch profitieren können: Von exklusiven Networking-Möglichkeiten, Einblicken in die neuesten Retail-Trends bis hin zu direkten Kontakten mit den wichtigsten Köpfen der Branche – Shoptalk Europe bietet einen einmaligen Rahmen, um das eigene Business zukunftssicher aufzustellen und neue Impulse für den deutschen Markt mitzunehmen. News der Woche: - Shopware Community Day abgesagt: Aufgrund der Entschärfung von drei Blindgängern aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg musste der Shopware Community Day in Köln kurzfristig abgesagt werden. Die Sicherheit der Teilnehmer stand an erster Stelle, ein neuer Termin wird gesucht. Teile des Programms sollen in den nächsten Wochen digital nachgeholt werden. - Google Ads in AI Overviews: Google testet aktuell, wie Anzeigen in den neuen AI-gestützten Suchergebnissen (AI Mode & AI Overviews) ausgespielt werden. Damit werden künftig noch mehr Werbeplätze in KI-generierten Antworten verfügbar sein – ein Gamechanger für das Suchmaschinenmarketing. - ChatGPT als Top-5-Website: ChatGPT ist mittlerweile eine der fünf meistbesuchten Websites weltweit, mit über 5 Milliarden Besuchen pro Monat. Die rasante Entwicklung zeigt, wie sehr KI-basierte Tools den Alltag und die digitale Wirtschaft durchdringen. - AI-SEO für Shopify Stores: Wer möchte, dass der eigene Shopify-Shop in ChatGPT, Perplexity & Co. gefunden wird, muss gezielt die richtigen Bots zulassen und Inhalte für LLMs optimieren. Ein Leitfaden zeigt, wie Shops für die KI-Suche fit gemacht werden können. - Shopify Catalog API & Perplexity: Shopify hat still und leise seine neue Catalog API gelauncht – Perplexity AI ist der erste Partner. Damit können KI-Anwendungen in Echtzeit auf Produktdaten aller Shopify-Stores zugreifen. Das verändert, wie Produkte künftig online gefunden und gekauft werden. - Amazon testet humanoide Lieferroboter: Amazon plant den Test von humanoiden Robotern für die Paketzustellung. Mit speziellen KI-Systemen sollen die Roboter künftig Pakete autonom ausliefern – ein weiterer Schritt in Richtung automatisierter Logistik.

In past years, we've done a series called ‘Bikes vs Skis' where we've posed the question: Which bike company is most like which ski company? But this year, we're zooming out a bit, and instead are putting up the whole ski industry vs the bike industry. In part 2 of this conversation, we take a look at the state of ski shops vs bike shops; what each industry is doing to grow participation and engagement in their sport; gear trend wins and fails; and we weigh in on which industry has the brighter future. You'll hear from Blister reviewers Luke Koppa, Jonathan Ellsworth, David Golay, Simon Stewart, Kara Williard, and Xan Marshland.RELATED LINKS:BLISTER+ Get Yourself CoveredSki vs Bike Industry, Part 1Our ‘Bikes vs Skis' Series:Bikes vs Skis, 4th Edition (2023): Part 1Bikes vs Skis, 4th Edition (2023): Part 2Bikes vs Skis, 4th Edition (2023): Part 3Bikes vs Skis, 3rd Edition (2021): Part 1Bikes vs Skis, 3rd Edition (2021): Part 2Bikes vs Skis, 2nd Edition (2020): Part 1Bikes vs Skis, 2nd Edition (2020): Part 2Bikes vs Skis, 1st Edition (2018): Part 1Bikes vs Skis, 1st Edition (2018): Part 2TOPICS & TIMES:Ski Shops vs Bike Shops (3:13)Growing Participation: Ski vs Bike Industry (12:52)Lift Tickets (25:01)BMX Bikes (26:30)Gear Wins & Fails (29:43)Brighter Future?

This podcast episode serves as a compelling showcase of insights derived from the experiences of a seasoned bootstrapped entrepreneur (Kerry Simon). Central to the discussion is the premise that success in entrepreneurship often hinges upon the fortuitous alignment of factors such as timing, location, and community engagement. Kerry recounts their multifaceted journey, which encompasses the establishment of vintage clothing shops and a coffee business, emphasizing the importance of social interaction and organic marketing strategies in fostering business growth. Furthermore, he candidly reflects on the challenges faced, including the stark contrast in outcomes when replicating a successful model in a different market. Ultimately, we aim to provide our listeners with actionable takeaways that can be readily implemented in their own entrepreneurial endeavors.Takeaways: In the realm of entrepreneurship, one must recognize that success often hinges on a confluence of opportunity, timing, and sheer luck, as illustrated by my personal experiences. Establishing a strong social presence and engaging actively with potential customers is pivotal for bootstrapped ventures to flourish and achieve recognition. Kerry's initial foray into business was characterized by fortunate circumstances, such as low overhead costs and immediate customer access, which significantly contributed to my early success. Investing in a marketing budget is imperative for sustaining visibility and engagement, as organic reach on social media platforms has significantly diminished over time.

What if you could double—or even quadruple—the value of a machine shop within just 12 months of buying it? For Mike Payne, this isn't a hypothetical. It's a repeatable system he's refined across five acquisitions (and counting). In this episode of Machine Shop Mastery, Mike returns to the mic to break down exactly how he transforms tired shops into thriving, high-value operations—without starting from scratch. Mike walks us through his bolt-on acquisition strategy, sharing how he targets shops with legacy customers, retiring owners, and underutilized assets. But the real magic happens post-purchase. By layering in his tech stack, systems, and leadership team, he's able to drastically improve efficiency, customer value, and ultimately, the valuation multiple—often turning a 2.5x shop into a 5x performer. You'll hear how Mike evaluates potential deals, builds financial models based on his operating costs, and uses simple frameworks to identify untapped value others miss. He also shares practical insights for both buyers and sellers—from structuring seller-financed deals to boosting your multiple with minimal upfront investment. Whether you're considering your first acquisition or preparing to sell your shop, this episode is packed with tactical advice and inspiring proof that serious wealth-building in manufacturing is not only possible—it's within reach.

Send us a textEpisode Summary: Dr. Andrew Chadeayne discusses the chemistry of psilocybin and other psychedelics, their potential therapeutic applications, and the challenges of commercializing them in a shifting biotech market. The conversation delves into the complexities of magic mushroom composition, debunking myths like "lemon tekking," and uncovers the booming, unregulated alternative products industry, including kratom and synthetic psilocybin analogs sold in vape shops.About the guest: Andrew Chadeayne, PhD is a chemist who also holds a law degree, specializing in patent law. He is the founder and CEO of CaaMTech, a startup specializing in the development of novel psychedelic compounds. Chadeayne collaborates with academic labs to advance psychedelic science while navigating the commercial landscape.Discussion Points:Psilocybin is a prodrug converted to psilocin, but magic mushrooms contain other psychoactive molecules like beta-carbolines, which may enhance effects by inhibiting degradation.Chadeayne's team develops psilocin prodrugs to shorten psychedelic trips, making clinical administration more manageable without altering effects.The "lemon tek" myth—that lemon juice converts psilocybin to psilocin—is false; it enhances absorption by extracting compounds, not altering chemistry.Magic mushroom bruising indicates psilocin degradation, as oxidized psilocin forms blue, inactive dimers.The multi-billion dollar alternative products industry sells kratom and synthetic psilocybin analogs, often mislabeled, in vape shops, raising safety and regulatory concerns.Kratom's minor alkaloid, 7-hydroxymitragynine, is ~40x more potent than morphine, with no reported overdoses but high habit-forming potential.Non-hallucinogenic serotonin 2A agonists, like those developed by CaaMTech's spinout, show promise for conditions like migraines without requiring a psychedelic trip.Related episode:M&M 71: Chemistry of Magic Mushrooms, DMT Analogues, Entourage Effects in Cannabis & Fungi, Novel Psychedelic Medicines, Psychedelic Startups | Andrew Chadeayne*Not medical advice.Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

When you're launching or scaling a machine shop, it's easy to think of software as a cost—something you "have to have" just to get by. But what if your tech stack could become your sharpest competitive edge? In this episode of the Machine Shop MBA series, we are joined by returning guest and digital strategy expert Bryce Barnes to unpack why your software decisions might matter more than your next CNC machine purchase. They explore how an intentional, integrated digital backbone isn't just for managing data—it's about accelerating sales, boosting throughput, and future-proofing your shop. We share our own journeys with building digital infrastructure from scratch, transitioning off spreadsheets, and how we now see our systems as a key part of our brand. The reality is, when your systems are dialed in, they don't just save time—they win work. We've seen it ourselves: customers are more confident, audits are smoother, and top talent is easier to attract when you run a modern, connected operation. We break down the key components of a modern machine shop's digital ecosystem—from ERP and QMS to CAD/CAM, CRM, and even the email domain you choose when naming your business. We explain how integrations reduce risk and waste, why starting early simplifies everything later, and how a great tech stack not only saves time but wins customers. Whether you're quoting parts on an Excel sheet, trying to choose your first ERP, or just curious how cloud, AI, and machine monitoring can fit into your daily operations, this episode is an essential listen. It's not a tech tutorial—it's a business strategy conversation every shop owner needs to hear. The takeaway? Don't tack on software as an afterthought. Build your shop around it.
