How do you stop employees from constantly relying on you for the answers and start building a team of independent problem solvers? The secret is adopting a mentor mindset and treating leadership as coaching instead of answer-giving. In this episode of Boss Better Now, Joe Mull concludes a special four-part series adapted from his live workshops on accountability in leadership. He reveals the hidden cost of giving employees the answers and the exact coaching questions to ask instead, so you build critical thinking skills and stop creating employee dependency. Too many managers prioritize speed and end up doing the thinking for their team. Joe shares the coaching tips and scripts that reverse this, including one question that shifts how employees think, owns problems, and activates their capability. He also breaks down a simple, science-backed way to give feedback to employees that makes them dramatically more receptive to constructive criticism, using high standards paired with a statement of belief in their potential. What to Expect in This Episode: The Conclusion of the Accountability Tightrope: Two mentor mindset techniques you can use today. Why Giving Answers Creates Employee Dependency: How constantly solving problems robs your team of the chance to feel capable. The Ultimate Leadership Coaching Question: Why asking "What options do you see?" shifts the brain and activates ownership. The Real Definition of Workplace Coaching: Helping people sort through what they already know instead of telling them the right way to do it. The 19-Word Feedback Script: A science-backed technique that makes employees more receptive to constructive criticism. Applying Wise Feedback at Work: Real stories of leaders pairing high standards with belief statements to fix performance issues without defensiveness.Tune in to master the mentor mindset, get your time back, and build a team that thrives on ownership. If you want to become a better leader, this episode gives you the exact scripts to start with.

GUnitedHealth shareholders sue company over ‘corporate governance failures on a historic scale' UBS fined record $125 million for money laundering violations$125 million civil penalty to the U.S. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) for willful violations of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), the primary U.S. anti-money laundering law.FinCEN said the fine is the largest ever assessed against a broker-dealer for BSA violations.The settlement marks FinCEN's second enforcement action against UBS Financial Services, a subsidiary of the Swiss bank UBS. The firm had previously paid a $14.5 million penalty in December 2018 for similar failures, including inadequate monitoring of foreign currency wire transfers.Despite assurances to regulators that it would fix the underlying problems, the firm subsequently failed to monitor more than 50,000 foreign currency wires with a combined value exceeding $10 billion.SEC launches new enforcement unit aimed at accounting fraudHow??The unit will be housed within the SEC's Division of Enforcement and staffed by both attorneys and accountants with specialized skills related to financial reporting, accounting, and auditing in securities regulation, according to the announcement.The announcement is “a little surprising” given the SEC's current deregulatory focus under Chair Paul Atkins, Rebecca Fike, a partner in Reed Smith's regulatory and enforcement group, told CFO Dive.Andreessen Horowitz Focus of DOJ Probe Over Board DirectorsBIG DATA and AI BS‍ ‍Gwyneth Paltrow is rumored to be throwing a party for AI mogul Sam Altman.

He then used real emissions data to calculate the extent to which specific fossil fuel emitters increased the risk of extreme weather.SPEED ROUND‍ ‍DuckDuckGo Is Selling Anti Pervert Glasses That Contain Zero AI, Cameras, or Even Electronics Whatsoever Jason Kelce Wants Fans to 'Pee on Computers' to Protest AI Water Use: 'We Want Your Pee' Cards Against Humanity Unveils 'Sad Little Bitch' Elon Musk Monument Near Texas StarbaseFrance bans unsolicited telemarketing calls--$87,000 fine per call I'm the CEO of Siemens.

Every year, approximately 200,000 U.S. service members transition from military service to civilian careers. Employers say they want to hire veterans, yet highly qualified military talent is still too often overlooked. The problem isn't a lack of skills—it's the challenge of translating military experience into language civilian employers and hiring managers understand. In this episode of the Optimistic Outlook, Kristine Irwin, who leads military talent strategy and partnerships at Siemens, is joined by Charlie Martinez, national lead for the Siemens SkillBridge program, and Cathy Miclat, Director of Career Services at Vets2PM. Together, they explore how employers can better recognize transferable military skills, improve veteran hiring, and build stronger pathways from military service to civilian careers. Charlie knows the transition firsthand. After serving seven years in the U.S. Air Force, he transitioned to the civilian workforce through SkillBridge before joining Siemens. Today, he leads the same program that helped launch his civilian career. He shares how he learned to translate his military experience into civilian terms, and why veterans shouldn't have to make their experience sound like something it wasn't for employers to recognize its value. The conversation explores: Why military skills are highly transferable—and why matching military and civilian job titles isn't always the best approach The language and communication gaps that can make it difficult for veterans to translate their experience on résumés and in interviews Common misconceptions and mistakes employers make when recruiting and hiring transitioning service members and veterans How SkillBridge helps service members gain civilian industry experience before leaving the military How Siemens' Expedite for Vets micro-credential program helps bridge the gap between military experience and industry-recognized credentials How employers can build effective military talent partnerships and create stronger veteran hiring pipelines Practical steps companies can take to attract, hire, and retain veteran talent Whether you're a hiring manager, HR or talent acquisition leader, workforce development professional, veteran, or transitioning service member, this conversation offers practical insights into veteran employment and what it takes to turn military experience into opportunity. Because the goal isn't to make military experience fit a civilian job description. It's to help employers recognize the skills, experience, leadership, and potential veterans already bring to the workforce.

De opmars van Chinese bedrijven in medische technologie beperkt zich niet langer tot de eigen landsgrenzen. Met name de Europese markt lijkt gevoelig voor Chinese bedrijven als Mindray en United Imaging Healthcare.

What would it take for maintenance to become something people actually aspire to be part of? In this episode of Assets UNSCRIPTED, host Berend Booms sits down with Kevin Clark, Head of Industrial Strategy and Asset Management at Siemens. Kevin started his career turning wrenches on the shop floor and has spent more than 40 years working across every level of the industry. He talks about why maintenance is still seen as a cost centre, why the boardroom and the plant floor rarely have the same conversation about smart manufacturing, and why the biggest challenge in asset management isn't technology at all. And if Kevin had five years and a blank-cheque budget? He'd invest every dollar in developing people.

The future of American manufacturing is being shaped by more than technology. It's being built by the people who are bringing new ideas, processes and capabilities to the factory floor. In this episode of the Optimistic Outlook, Lauren Curran, an industrial engineer and advanced manufacturing manager at Siemens' Fort Worth facility, gives us a firsthand look at how modern manufacturing is evolving. In a conversation with Siemens USA President and CEO Ann Fairchild, Lauren shares how advanced manufacturing, data, AI and continuous improvement are creating new possibilities for both the industry and the people who work in it. Siemens has invested $1 billion in U.S. manufacturing over the past five years, including a $190 million facility in Fort Worth producing switchgear and other electrical equipment that supports critical infrastructure across the country. Growing demand from industries including data centers and AI is accelerating the need for this equipment — and for the skilled workforce behind it. But technology and investment are only part of the equation. America also needs people with the skills to build, operate and continuously improve the factories of the future. Lauren shares her own rapid career journey, from industrial engineer to advanced manufacturing manager, and explains how curiosity, problem-solving and a willingness to embrace challenges have helped shape her career. She also offers a look inside the modern factory — from piloting new products and processes to working directly with assemblers to turn engineering designs into real-world products. Her experience challenges outdated perceptions of manufacturing and highlights the opportunities available to people considering careers in engineering, advanced manufacturing and skilled trades. In this episode, discover: How technology, data and AI are transforming modern manufacturing Why today's factory floor looks very different from the traditional image of manufacturing How U.S. manufacturing investment is creating new opportunities for innovation and growth What it takes to build the skilled manufacturing workforce America needs How continuous improvement and hands-on problem-solving drive innovation Lauren's journey from industrial engineer to manufacturing leader Why manufacturing careers can offer opportunities for growth, leadership and impact As the United States works to strengthen its manufacturing workforce, stories like Lauren's demonstrate what's possible when people are given the tools, training and freedom to innovate.

August 17, 2026: I look at Gallup's new research showing that AI adoption can improve or damage workplace culture depending heavily on one person: the direct manager. Then I get into Siemens CEO Roland Busch's approach to leadership, including short email replies, a sub-100-message inbox, and no recurring one-on-ones with direct reports. Finally, I unpack the public debate between Gavin Baker and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei over AI fearmongering, trust, data centers, and whether AI leaders have helped create the backlash they are now trying to explain.

Siemens says a small manufacturer can start production optimization for $2,000 a year. Martin Valkysers and Flemming Kongsberg explain what that buys you.Most digital transformation advice assumes a budget and an engineering bench most plants do not have. Flemming Kongsberg, who runs the SMB focus inside the Siemens CTO organization, discards the usual revenue and headcount definitions: an SMB is any manufacturer without the skills to absorb a complex digital change, and that includes some very large companies. He describes one customer running 900 devices across 17 locations where 90 percent of the machines are 30 years or older with zero connectivity. Siemens research also found 40 percent of SMB customers have no IT department.Martin Valkysers frames Siemens Xcelerator as the open digital business platform tying hardware, software, data, and services together, with more than 600 partners today. The SMB starter package is where that becomes concrete. Instead of asking a plant with no IT staff to assemble something from hundreds of apps, Siemens curated roughly 10 to 12 into one bundle covering device connectivity, Performance Insight dashboards for OEE and quality, and a slice of Mendix. A partner installed it in a lab in 24 minutes on an ordinary Windows machine, against the roughly 60 hours a traditional Industrial Edge deployment takes. It is $2,000 per year for three machines with the first three months free, and PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, and the standard protocols are supported, so competitor PLCs connect too.The most useful argument here has nothing to do with buying anything. Flemming makes the case that reaching for AI before you own your data is a losing move, because a model built on information everyone else can reach produces no strategic advantage. You also do not need AI to build a Pareto chart of where your quality losses sit. Martin adds the discipline that gets skipped most: be clear about the problem before you pick the tool.About the GuestsMartin Valkysers is Head of US Market Launch and Growth for Siemens Xcelerator, Siemens' open digital business platform spanning industrial, building, grid, and manufacturing sectors.

Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 13 Agosto 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Fisco, Manovra e finanza pubblicaTestate: Corriere della Sera / La Stampa / Il Sole 24 Ore / MF- La Manovra 2027 entra nella fase decisiva con un fabbisogno indicato in oltre 30 miliardi di euro e, nelle ricostruzioni più ampie, con un perimetro di spesa vicino a 36 miliardi nel triennio. Il dossier più sensibile resta il nuovo taglio dell'IRPEF al ceto medio, con l'ipotesi di ridurre l'aliquota dal 43% al 33% per i redditi tra 50.000 e 60.000 euro, per un costo stimato intorno a 2,7 miliardi.- Sul tavolo figurano anche contratti pubblici, social card, energia, pensioni, sanità e difesa. Il Governo punta a utilizzare circa 14 miliardi di nuova capacità di spesa per energia e difesa, mentre il resto delle coperture dovrà essere ricomposto nel quadro europeo.- La componente sociale resta rilevante: vengono indicati almeno 5 miliardi per la sanità e circa 2 miliardi per il rinnovo dei contratti pubblici, insieme alla conferma della tassazione al 5% sui rinnovi e alla possibilità di introdurre misure una tantum per giovani e donne.- Sul fronte delle entrate torna l'ipotesi di un contributo straordinario del 5% sugli utili delle principali banche. Intesa Sanpaolo e UniCredit avrebbero generato insieme una base di circa 12 miliardi di utili semestrali, mentre per l'intero sistema degli intermediari la stima citata si colloca tra 30 e 40 miliardi.- Il vero punto di attenzione per mercati e investitori non è quindi la dimensione nominale della Manovra, ma la qualità delle coperture e la capacità di finanziare gli interventi senza compromettere credito, deficit e credibilità fiscale.Inflazione, energia e potere d'acquistoTestate: Corriere della Sera / La Stampa / Il Sole 24 Ore / MF- L'inflazione italiana di luglio viene rivista al rialzo al 2,9% su base annua e allo 0,3% mensile. L'inflazione acquisita per il 2026 raggiunge il 2,7%, con una dinamica dei prezzi meno uniforme rispetto ai mesi precedenti.- Il carrello della spesa mostra segnali di rallentamento, mentre servizi, trasporti ed energia continuano a esercitare una pressione più significativa sui bilanci familiari.- L'energia regolamentata aumenta del 14,8% su base annua e del 6,5% nel solo mese di luglio, mentre sul mercato libero l'elettricità registra un incremento del 9,7%.- Benzina e gasolio salgono rispettivamente di circa 8% e 18,8% su base annua, mentre i trasporti aumentano del 4,3%. Per una famiglia di quattro persone viene stimato un aggravio complessivo di circa 1.020 euro.- La pressione è particolarmente concentrata nei servizi turistici. Alberghi e ristorazione registrano aumenti superiori al 3%, mentre gli affitti brevi salgono del 9% in Liguria e del 7,6% in Sardegna.- Sul territorio, la Calabria registra l'inflazione regionale più elevata con +3,5%, seguita da Campania +3,3%, Puglia e Sicilia +3,2%. Tra le grandi città spiccano Reggio Calabria +4%, Napoli e Catania +3,4%.Energia, petrolio e rischio HormuzTestate: Repubblica / Corriere della Sera- Il mercato petrolifero resta strutturalmente teso. L'Agenzia Internazionale dell'Energia stima un deficit di circa 1,8 milioni di barili al giorno, mentre la produzione russa viene indicata in forte contrazione.- Le scorte globali hanno recuperato soltanto parzialmente. Il quadro combina quindi consumi in ripresa e un'offerta relativamente poco elastica, aumentando la sensibilità delle quotazioni a ogni nuovo shock geopolitico.- Il gas europeo resta intorno ai 60 euro per MWh sul TTF di Amsterdam, livello che continua a incidere direttamente sulla competitività delle imprese energivore e sui costi di trasporto.- Resta inoltre il rischio di un prolungamento della chiusura dello Stretto di Hormuz. In uno scenario persistente, l'impatto si trasferirebbe rapidamente su greggio, benzina, gasolio, prodotti raffinati e margini industriali.- Per le imprese, il tema energetico non è quindi soltanto macroeconomico: coperture, diversificazione geografica degli approvvigionamenti e gestione dei contratti diventano vere decisioni di tesoreria.Banche, M&A e corporate Italia-GermaniaTestate: Corriere della Sera / La Stampa- L'Italia continua a rafforzare la propria presenza industriale e finanziaria in Germania. Da inizio 2023 a luglio 2026 vengono contabilizzate 100 operazioni tra M&A e accordi commerciali, per un valore complessivo di 17,8 miliardi di euro.- Oltre l'80% del valore è riconducibile alla scalata UniCredit-Commerzbank, pari a circa 14,9 miliardi di euro per il 47,6% dell'istituto tedesco.- Il confronto storico è significativo: tra 2015 e 2022 le operazioni italiane in Germania valevano 9,5 miliardi, contro 7,7 miliardi di operazioni tedesche in Italia. Il rapporto si sta quindi progressivamente ribaltando.- La pipeline comprende anche l'accordo da 3,6 miliardi di euro tra Italo e Siemens per 26 nuovi treni ad Alta Velocità, l'espansione di MFE in ProSiebenSat.1, l'acquisizione di Centrotec Climate Systems da parte di Ariston e quella di Heidelberg Engineering da parte di EssilorLuxottica.- La BCE non porrebbe un veto all'operazione UniCredit-Commerzbank, ma sottolinea la complessità dell'integrazione e la necessità di preservare un coefficiente patrimoniale vicino al 12,5%.- Il quadro complessivo è positivo: la maggiore solidità patrimoniale di alcune imprese e banche italiane consente oggi di trasformare la relativa debolezza tedesca in un'opportunità di consolidamento continentale.Intelligenza Artificiale, mercati e portafogli obbligazionariTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / MF / Corriere della Sera- La corsa all'Intelligenza Artificiale comincia a produrre effetti rilevanti anche sul mercato obbligazionario. Per il 2026 vengono stimate emissioni di debito legate all'AI per circa 360 miliardi di dollari, di cui circa 300 miliardi riconducibili alle Big Tech.- L'aumento dell'offerta di obbligazioni può esercitare pressione sulla curva dei Treasury. Il rendimento del decennale potrebbe aumentare di circa 10 punti base, mentre le scadenze più lunghe risultano ancora più sensibili.- Il Treasury a 20 anni viene indicato intorno al 5,23%, contro circa il 4,5% di fine giugno. La crescita del capex AI viene quindi finanziata sempre più attraverso debito di lunga durata.- Per gli investitori emerge un rischio specifico: la vita economica degli asset AI può essere molto più breve della durata dei finanziamenti utilizzati per costruirli. La selezione della duration diventa quindi centrale.- Sul mercato azionario la tecnologia continua però a guidare la crescita: Nvidia sale del 2,5%, Micron del 6,5%, mentre il Nasdaq risulta il migliore tra i principali indici americani. In Italia, il FTSE MIB supera per la prima volta quota 53.000 punti.- Il quadro resta quindi favorevole all'AI, ma cresce il rischio di concentrazione sia nel mercato azionario sia nel credito corporate.Fondo sovrano norvegese e gestione del capitaleTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / MF / Corriere della Sera- Il Fondo sovrano norvegese registra nel primo semestre 2026 circa 160 miliardi di euro di utili, con un rendimento del 9,4%.- Il patrimonio complessivo supera 2.380 miliardi di dollari, con il 72,1% investito in azioni globali, circa il 26% in obbligazioni governative e il restante 2% in immobili commerciali e infrastrutture.- Tra le esposizioni tecnologiche figurano Nvidia, Alphabet e TSMC, confermando come anche un investitore estremamente diversificato mantenga una presenza significativa nei principali vincitori del ciclo AI.- La regola fiscale norvegese consente prelievi annuali intorno al 3% del patrimonio. Circa il 20-25% del bilancio dello Stato viene così finanziato dai trasferimenti del fondo.- Il modello norvegese resta uno dei principali esempi di disciplina intergenerazionale: trasformare una rendita temporanea in capitale permanente attraverso diversificazione, regole di prelievo e orizzonte di lungo periodo.Immobiliare, wealth e protezione del patrimonioTestate: Repubblica- Nel mercato residenziale italiano emerge un problema crescente di sostenibilità economica delle operazioni di demolizione e ricostruzione. In molti Comuni, i costi degli interventi superano i ricavi potenzialmente ottenibili dalla vendita.- Milano rappresenta un'eccezione grazie a valori immobiliari molto elevati. Il prezzo medio di vendita viene indicato intorno a 6.663 euro al metro quadrato, mentre il costo di ristrutturazione è vicino a 1.300 euro e quello di demolizione e ricostruzione può raggiungere 2.200 euro.- Nelle città medie e piccole, invece, agevolazioni fiscali e Piano casa non sono sempre sufficienti a rendere economicamente sostenibili le operazioni.- Il rischio è una progressiva obsolescenza immobiliare nelle aree con domanda più debole, mentre le città con infrastrutture, servizi e domanda stabile continueranno ad attrarre capitali e interventi.- Sul segmento ultra-high-net-worth emerge inoltre una crescente domanda di asset legati a sicurezza e protezione patrimoniale. In Svizzera alcune grotte e bunker della Guerra Fredda vengono offerte in leasing per 99 anni a circa 1 milione di franchi.

In this episode, we sit down with Jochen Gross, who leads Data Strategy and Architecture within the Sustainability team at Siemens, for a conversation that challenges how we think about both AI and sustainability. Jochen takes us behind the scenes of one of the most complex data challenges in corporate history: building the foundation that makes sustainable decision-making actually possible at scale.Why has sustainability evolved from a values-driven conversation into a data-driven discipline? Why are frameworks like the CSRD accelerating rather than slowing down the industry?Jochen unpacks the tension at the heart of AI today: the same technology consuming enormous energy could be our most powerful weapon against climate change. From product carbon footprints to digital twins that turned a 50kg robot gripper into a 2kg polymer marvel, Jochen shows us that the greatest untapped opportunity in sustainability isn't policy or engineering — it's data. And if you think that sounds dry, think again.

Are you managing your team just for today's results, or are you investing in their long term career growth? The most effective leaders know how to do both by adopting a mentor mindset. In this episode of Boss Better Now, Joe Mull continues his special summer series on the accountability tightrope. Listen in as he breaks down part three of the framework, revealing how to perfectly balance high performance standards with high employee support. Many managers struggle with onboarding and feedback, often resorting to assigning grunt work or trying to prevent every mistake. Joe shares a powerful example of what a perfect first day conversation looks like to set the stage for success. He details exactly how to shift into a mentor mindset where you assign real work of consequence, reframe mistakes as growth, and build deep employee commitment through earned prestige. What to Expect in This Episode: What is the Accountability Tightrope?: Joe recaps the core challenge of balancing high standards with supportive workplace relationships. The Perfect First Day Conversation: How to script a welcome message that builds trust and sets a standard of excellence right from the start. Defining the Mentor Mindset at Work: Why the best managers see people for their potential and focus on long term career growth over daily tasks. Stop Giving New Hires Grunt Work: How assigning work of consequence builds skill, confidence, and early contribution. How to Reframe Mistakes and Failure: Why great leaders coach thinking and judgment instead of just handing out all the answers. The Script for Difficult Feedback: How to frame tough performance conversations around an employee's potential so they feel supported instead of attacked. Building Employee Commitment through Earned Prestige: The psychological building block that gives employees a sense of worth and turns a new hire into a highly committed team member.

What do you do when you follow the love of your life to a new country and aren’t legally allowed to work? You start Shopify… Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those.  [Kooler Garage Doors Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast, eh. Stephen Semple: Eh? Dave Young: See what I did there? See what I did there, Stephen? Stephen Semple: I do. Dave Young: Stephen whispered in my ear that we’re going to talk about a Canadian company, eh. Shopify. Stephen Semple: Shopify. Dave Young: And I didn’t know they were Canadian. Stephen Semple: Yes, they are. Yeah. Dave Young: Well, do tell. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Well, and here’s one of the things that I love about this story is it was started by a person who couldn’t get a job and decided to sell snowboards online. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: Right? Dave Young: Snowboards. Stephen Semple: How could I not love that? Dave Young: Yeah. You would love that all day long. Is that where you bought your first snowboard? Stephen Semple: No, it is not but… Dave Young: Wait, wait, you weren’t that kid, were you? Stephen Semple: No, I was not. So they’re a big deal, annual revenue of close to $12 billion. They’re one of Canada’s most valuable companies with $160 billion market cap. They’ve got 7,600 employees worldwide and kind of like five million online stores in 175 countries. And here’s the figure that got me the most when I was researching it. And it’s the number 378 billion. That’s how much merchandise was sold in a year. $370 billion worth of merchandise was sold through Shopify. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: Put that into context, that’s the GDP of Singapore. Dave Young: Yeah, that’s crazy. Stephen Semple: Isn’t that crazy? Dave Young: That’s a lot of sales. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So Shopify was founded in 2006 in Ottawa by Tobias Lutke, Daniel Weinand and Scott Lake. But our story starts a couple of years before with Snowdevil, the snowboarding business. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So Tobias was born and raised in Germany, and his parents had this place in the Alps, and they would often drive to the Alps to go skiing. Then they decided to do a trip to Canada to do Whistler. At the time, the Canadian dollar was low. It was like the 2000s, and he decided he was going to snowboard rather than ski. And this is when he fell in love with two things, snowboarding, and he met his now wife, Fiona. Dave Young: Was she also snowboarding? Do we know? Stephen Semple: I don’t know whether she was snowboarding or not. That’s an interesting question. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: So he returns to Germany, they keep in touch, and when she finishes her bachelor degree, she decides to move to Germany. So in Germany, Tobias struggled in school, ADHD, dyslexia, dropped out after grade 10, and he joins a programming apprenticeship program at Siemens. And he’s part of this kind of rebellious environment. He loves it. And he and Fiona are together for about 10 months, and she decides she needs to return to Ottawa to start her master’s program. So he moves with her to Ottawa. Now, he tried to work remotely, but remember, this is the early 2000s. Tools were not really there. You didn’t have Slack, you didn’t have Zoom. It was tough. He wasn’t really able to do it. Dave Young: A little bit of Skype going on by then maybe, but yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah, maybe, but even not great, right? He’s spending a bunch of time snowboarding and he dives into it and he’s learning all he can about it. And he even started thinking, “Well, maybe I could sell snowboards online.” And around this time, he gets offer for a job with a business in Ottawa, and the topic of work permit comes up, which oops, he doesn’t have. Dave Young: Doesn’t have a work permit. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right. He’s legally allowed in the country, but he’s not allowed a work permit. So he goes to see a lawyer and he’s told, “Hey dude, you’re unlikely you got a work permit. You’re legal in the country. You could start a business, but you can’t work for someone.” Dave Young: But you can start one. Stephen Semple: But you could start one. Dave Young: That’s all right. I mean, that’s fair. Stephen Semple: So he decides snowboards online, it is. That’s what he’s going to do. Dave Young: Put a hold on that because I’m thinking, start a business. I’m wondering if that’s why there are so many foreign taxi drivers, that a taxi cab was actually a business. Stephen Semple: Could be. Dave Young: Working for somebody, you’re working for yourself. Stephen Semple: You are, you’re independent. Yeah. Dave Young: Maybe the whole taxi industry was a loophole. All right. Anyway. Stephen Semple: Could be. Dave Young: So he- Stephen Semple: So Scott Lake, who’s one of the founders, worked for the company that tried to hire Tobias, and they keep in touch. And they decide to create this company Snowdevil together because Scott had all these vendor relationships. Tobias worked on the technology. Now, here was the problem at the time. There was not software to make any of this easy, especially the credit card. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: And it was really hard updating and changing websites. Here’s the part that I loved. They wanted to tell stories about every snowboard that was sold. They actually wanted to take the board onto the mountain and chronicle how they spent the day and tell that story of that board and put it on the website. That’s how they were selling boards. This was also around the time the emergence of blogging. So they really felt that if you could wrap this really great story around the product and get people excited about it, they would buy from you and they wanted to break away from this Sears catalog model through the stories. Dave Young: Is this every individual board? Stephen Semple: Yes, had a story. Dave Young: Or every model. Stephen Semple: Every board had a story. Dave Young: Not every model of board. Every single board. Stephen Semple: Well, sorry. When I say board- Dave Young: Every model. Stephen Semple: Every model. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Got you. Stephen Semple: Every model had a story. Dave Young: I mean, because that’s a lot of snowboarding. Stephen Semple: Well, but it was also the early days, there weren’t that many boards out too. Dave Young: Yeah, yeah. Stephen Semple: Your universe was not as big as it is today. So Tobias, they’re trying to figure out how to do this, and he comes across this program called Ruby on Rails. And here’s the thing that was funny. Dave Young: I remember Ruby on Rails. Stephen Semple: The source code at the time was Latin characters and all the documentation was in Japanese, but he still figured out how to make it work. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So he started to build an e-commerce platform on that. And one of the big moments for Tobias, and this is the inspiration for Shopify, is the feeling he got when they got notice of their first sale where he’s sitting there and he gets a bing on his phone and they’ve made a sale. And that feeling that he had in that moment was just unbelievable for him. Dave Young: Cha-ching. Yeah. Somebody found us and bought something from us. Stephen Semple: Somebody found us and bought something. This is incredible. Now, they built the business on pay-per-click, but you got to also remember, AdWords at the time, 20 cents a click is what they were spending. Think about it. In the sporting goods space, 20 cents a click. Dave Young: Nobody else had figured it out yet. Stephen Semple: No one else figured it out. And at the time, snowboards had really good margins. They had a good winter. Things went really well. They’re coming into the summer, things are slowing down, and they’re thinking about, “Well, what should we do?” And here’s one of the things that happened. They started getting approached by other people in the industry saying, “Hey, can you license all this stuff that you built? Because we’re trying to figure out how to do this online stuff and it’s really hard. Can you just license that to it and can we just use it?” Dave Young: Seems like they figured that out. Yeah. Stephen Semple: So in 2006, right, so in 2006, Snowdevil disappears. Shopify is born. Dave Young: All right. We can’t… Yeah. Stephen Semple: And Shopify is shopping simplified, Shopify. Dave Young: That’s brilliant. Stephen Semple: Right. Dave Young: The cool thing about software companies like that is you end up with one product and then you can sell that product a million times and it doesn’t cost you anything to make it, really. I mean, it’s software. There’s no manufacturing. Stephen Semple: There’s even something else on this. I’m in a program I think I’ve mentioned before called the Strategic Coach, quarterly coaching program, created by a guy by the name of Dan Sullivan. And one of the things Dan talks about is this idea of strategic byproducts, that when you create a really big goal, what will happen is in the process of achieving that goal, new things come out of it. And the reason why he calls them byproducts is sometimes some of the things that come out of it are way more powerful and way more valuable than the original thing you were trying to achieve. And this is a great example of it. The most valuable thing came out of it was this ability to make doing online shopping easier. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this.  [Using Stories To Sell] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off, and trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: And the reason why he calls them byproducts is sometimes some of the things that come out of it are way more powerful and way more valuable than the original thing you were trying to achieve. And this is a great example of it. The most valuable thing came out of it was this ability to make doing online shopping easier. Their goal was to sell snowboards online. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: The byproduct was this, and the byproduct was way more powerful, way more valuable. Dave Young: Oh, yeah. A lot of people want to sell a lot of things. Stephen Semple: But the problem is sometimes we lose sight of that. We can lose sight of it because we go, “Yeah, but I just wanted to sell snowboards. No, I’m going to ignore this thing.” Rather than, “Oh, wait a minute. Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. There’s this opportunity here.” So I commend them for recognizing that. So they start wanting to develop it as more of a product. Tobias calls Daniel Weinand, who’s the third founder, who’s a buddy from Germany, and he convinces them to come to Canada to help him build the product because he needs more coding. They raise some money, they’re off to the races. But here was even their challenge when it came to running money. Back then, everyone believed the future belonged to giant online malls, Amazon, eBay. Everybody just wants to go to one giant marketplace. Shopify believed something radically different. Instead of building one giant store, what they wanted was help millions of people have their own store. Because when you’re on Shopify, it’s your store. Shopify is just the back end. Dave Young: And they’re not going to do all the things that you hear Amazon does when you try to sell on Amazon, right? They’re going to go figure out how to make your product cheaper and sell it under their name. Stephen Semple: And Tobias talks about in interviews that feeling he had when they got that first online transaction. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: That’s what he wanted people to have. He wanted people to have that opportunity. The idea behind this business was not to develop software. They don’t see themselves as a software company, but they see themselves as a company that helps people start businesses. Shopify wasn’t selling software, they were selling independence. You can own your business, you own your customer list, you own your brand, you own your future. That emotional positioning matters. And it helped attract entrepreneurs who didn’t want to sell inside the Amazon ecosystem because what they were buying was freedom. And this drove a lot of the decision-making because in 2009, the next big evolution that came along was Shopify launched an app store. And basically what it did is it opened its platform to outside developers. Suddenly anyone could build an application that extended Shopify’s capabilities, email marketing, inventory managing, shipping, loyalty programs, accounting, subscriptions, thousands of other tools. And that fundamentally changed the company because if they though of themselves as a software development company, they would’ve tried to develop those things. Instead, they saw themselves as a company that is supposed to simplify this process for people. So therefore, why don’t we take your tool and plug it into ours? Dave Young: Yeah. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right? But that thinking is what changed everything. Now, I also want to think about this because we often talk about north stars and things along that lines. When they think about it even from a marketing perspective, when what I’m selling is I’m going to make it easier for you to become an entrepreneur, that’s a very different emotional sales pitch and positioning than I’ve got this tool. And it helped them do things like, well, why wouldn’t we do this app store? Does this app store make it easier for a person to be an entrepreneur? We’re doing it. Dave Young: Yeah, I love it. Stephen Semple: There’s 16,000 apps now in the Shopify app store, and Shopify paid developers over a billion dollars through its ecosystem. Dave Young: That’s pretty amazing. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So think about this. It’s a software company started by a software engineer that decided not to build software. Dave Young: All right. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right? And it all goes back to that moment that Tobias felt when he had that first transaction. And he also talks about nothing else changes a person’s life by being able to build their own business. And he was like, if we can facilitate that, their goal is to facilitate people building their business. And if you think about even things like opening it up to the outside, Apple has done it with the App Store. Salesforce has done it with AppExchange, Amazon with Marketplace, Microsoft. Other companies have all done it. But I think these guys just had a real strong north star because they stopped asking the question what we can build and started asking the question of what can others build on top of what we’ve built? Dave Young: Yeah. It’s a beautiful ecosystem. Stephen Semple: Because that driving goal- Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah, because the driving goal was make it easy to start a business. Now, here’s how powerful that idea is. Heard this in an interview with Tobias. So Tobias was being interviewed and this is literally what he said. I recorded it and wrote down the quote. And since we’re talking about stats, this is the most gratifying of all the numbers related to Shopify, and it’s actually the north star of the company. That’s the words he uses. Every 52 seconds, someone has had that experience of getting their first sale, the one I described. And in so many cases, someone is going from being a builder to now being an entrepreneur. There’s so few things you can do that actually changes your identity in a meaningful degree. This company’s heart is really the founder onboarding process and trying to make this simpler. What’s been so fascinating is that the initial idea behind Shopify was that idea. Dave Young: Yeah. Every 52 seconds somebody gets their first buyer. Stephen Semple: First sale. Dave Young: First sale. That’s amazing. Stephen Semple: Their first transaction. Isn’t that incredible? And that’s- Dave Young: It’s a new store every- Stephen Semple: Right. And his summary from his interview of what’s the thing that he was most proud of was that, that’s that. Not the billions of dollars, not this, that every 52 seconds, somebody’s getting their first transaction. Dave Young: I love that. Stephen Semple: Isn’t that incredible? Dave Young: Yes. Yes. There’s nothing not incredible about it. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: It’s a good thing they didn’t give him a work visa, is what I’m saying. Stephen Semple: Yeah, it all worked out well. But the part is that I found so interesting about this, because we do this when we work with customers. Well, with customers, we help them to find their north star. What’s your north star? Dave Young: Yeah, oh yeah. Stephen Semple: What is that thing for your business? And that the finding of the north star is what actually made all of this work. And they found their north star starting their own business when they had that first transaction. It remained true to that and has driven those decisions and has allowed them to make better strategic decisions such as the App Store. But on top of that, I’m going to say it helped all their marketing messaging because somebody who aspires to be an entrepreneur will connect with Shopify and its goals and dreams and aspirations. Dave Young: Yeah. I love that story. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Wizard Academy has a Shopify store. Stephen Semple: Does it? Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Cool. Dave Young: Yeah, shop.wizardacademy.org. You can buy a mug or a postcard. Stephen Semple: There you go. Dave Young: Things like that, so. Stephen Semple: Awesome. The only reason I didn’t know that is anytime- Dave Young: I didn’t get the notifications for it. Stephen Semple: Well, and the only reason why I don’t know about that is anytime I buy stuff, I always like getting it when I’m in person. Dave Young: Exactly. Stephen Semple: Yeah, yeah. Dave Young: Way more fun. We don’t do banging business, but it’s there. Stephen Semple: It’s there and it helped you do it. Dave Young: You want the mug that I drink out of sometimes. Stephen Semple: Well, that’s it. That’s the way you should be selling them. You should be selling your dirty mugs. Dave Young: I test every mug. Very cool, Stephen. Thank you for bringing us the Shopify story. Stephen Semple: All right, thanks, David.

I’m your host, Allen Hall, and I’m here with Rosemary Barnes, Matthew Sted, and Yolanda Padron. And it has been a real interesting week out in the renewable land, uh, if you’ve been watching some of the news, and we’re gonna talk about a number of those stories this week. But I wanna lead off with what ORE Catapult is doing over in the UK. So if, if you haven’t followed ORE Catapult, they are a, a research investigative arm and a huge proponent of wind, offshore wind in the United Kingdom, and they’ve done a, a tre- really tremendous amount of work in some of the, uh, particular problems that exist in wind trying to help [00:01:00] solve them. They have a survey that’s out, and if you haven’t seen it, you can just Google ORE Catapult and put in survey, and you’ll come to either an article or get to their site. And Rosemary and Yolanda, there’s a couple of particular items that they’re asking questions about. Uh, a lot of it is asking specific questions about torsional stability of blades. Have you seen more difficulty with torsion? Is… Do we need a torsion test? I think that was one of the questions. Uh, also looking at ranking of the different issues that happen with blades in particular. That’s what I noticed. Uh, you know, where’s lightning? Where’s blade connections? Where’s structural issues? Where do you rank all those different things? And I, I have not seen a survey like this in quite a while. Is this something that we need to do more of? I know [00:02:00] ORE Catapult will get a huge amount of feedback, at least I hope, over in the UK and, and around Europe. I don’t think many Americans are gonna be contributing to that too much since you don’t have a lot of offshore wind. But is this going in the right direction? Do we need more of these industry surveys about structural blade issues?  Yolanda Padron: Yeah, I think these surveys are a really good idea. Uh, the only thing that scares me from the owner side is that sometimes there’s a little bit of, uh- Teams don’t really love the idea of sharing information that might seem like it’s, um, like intellectual property to their internal teams. Even if as an engineer, of course, you love the idea of sharing and finding out like, um, what everybody else is, is experiencing on their site. Um, and so I really hope that the teams can really look, like their internal teams can really look past that because this would be a really great tool [00:03:00] for everybody to use. I know I looked at the survey myself and some of the questions kind of gave people the, the opportunity to kind of anonymize their data and then just kind of share it and have it. It seemed like it, it would probably be a platform that everybody could look at or everybody that, that shared could look at. And I think that it could be really, really good for operators to be able to know kind of if what they’re seeing on site is normal and just to be able to see what they’re signing up for when there’s a new site coming in. Or if it’s a site that’s been operational for a while, you can see what’s, hopefully, what’s happening to a quite older site than yours. So just to, to be able to be a bit more prepared, um, since a lot of these sites are from different own- owners. But I think it’s a really good idea.  Allen Hall: The survey asked questions about leading edge erosion, torsional loads, root joint integrity, lightning damage, manufacturing defects, which is a big [00:04:00] issue right now, extreme loading events, which also, uh, is, uh, coming about more often, uh, repair performance, and end of life fatigue. So there’s a, a series of questions about that and when do you experience these items in the lifetime of a blade. Is it more towards the beginning of the operation or more towards the end? That is important to know ’cause it, how you go about managing blades depends on that. The torsional questions were more specific. Uh, in your experience, how well understood are the effects on blade longevity of torsional loads compared to bending loads? And I think that relates back to some of the, uh, issues that have been seen on some offshore blades where there’s no existing test for torsion because it’s so hard to do. Whereas bending loads, we pretty well understand that and can do lifetime testing essentially for, for bending loads. So the torsional one I think is gonna raise a lot of question marks to hopefully with people, and we can come up [00:05:00] with a, a better approach to that.  Yolanda Padron: Hopefully, yeah. I think this is, I mean, this is just a really good idea to if, if everybody could partake. Um, I would really love to see something similar if people could in, in onshore. And so just something that’s, that’s shared a, uh, a little bit more widely I think would be really, really great. Uh, the only thing that might stre- or not stress me out, but- you know, I think people need to be careful about is just making sure that you’re not, um, that you actually use your data and not just kind of like, “Oh, I know that I remember this terrible lightning damage that I got in this really, really bad area, so I’m gonna mark as though most of my lightning damage happens in that bad area.” So just, just make sure you don’t use confirmation bias for, for that, but  Matthew Stead: I can also add to it as well ’cause, um, we’ve done a fair bit of work with all Catapult over the years, um, particularly through the new IEC standard for blade O&M. Um, and, uh, [00:06:00] definitely through the new blade O&M standard, the topic of blade twist has come up multiple times. Um- And also adding to that, you know, our organization has done twist on, twist measurements on 100 meter blades, and the twist that we measured was more than the OEM expected. Um, so I think this is a bit of a sleeper topic, um, and I think OR Catapult is doing the right thing by gathering more information. Allen Hall: There is a l- little database that’s gonna be put together, at least looking at the questions. Question 12, and everybody hopefully will go in and, and participate in the survey, but it says, “Would you be interested in sharing redacted failure data into a industry-wide database to help inform research agenda for blade development and O&M tools and solutions?” That is a great idea. Having a database so we understand the scale of problems and can put some numbers [00:07:00] to them, and then we can do some more research in those areas, and focus research where we’re actually gonna spend money in the right places, which has been my fight for the last five, six years, where we spend a lot of money, but not necessarily where we need to. That’s a great question, and hopefully OR Catapult does p- put together a database.  Rosemary Barnes: Companies really, really, really struggle to provide access to their data. Like, um, it, y- yeah, it, it’s, it’s very hard to get it beyond just using for their own specific project. I’ll be, I’ll be so happy if this database gets up and becomes publicly available so that every- everybody can use it to create the solutions that the industry needs. But I know how hard a challenge it is, so I’m wishing them heaps of, heaps of luck to get it to work.  Matthew Stead: And can I also add that, um, OR Catapult also did a wonderful presentation at Blades Europe, where they talked about life extension. They talked about the actual loading on the blades, um, influencing the fatigue life. And so I think, you know, that excellent [00:08:00] database hopefully, as we talked about, gets fed into some of their work about life extension.  Allen Hall: Well, OR Catapult is trying to get ahead of blade failures before they cost money. Uh, our next company knows exactly what that costs. Siemens Gamesa is still climbing out of a serial defect problem, and it posted its first profit in four years. So we’ll be back to talk about that in a moment.  Speaker: Are you overspending on lightning repairs? Most operators are, because solving lightning damage is complicated. Weather Guard Lightning Tech helps operators reduce lightning damage. Our innovative StrikeTape lightning diverter protects over 20,000 blades worldwide.

Allen Hall: Siemens Gamesa has finally turned a [00:09:00] profit, its first time since 2022. Uh, now comes the hard part. Order intake in the third quarter fell 77% from 4.89 billion euros a year ago to 1.05 billion Chief Executive Christian Bruch, uh, says a lot of the offshore projects that were originally planned are slipping, and as we’ve seen in the news, and that developers are not willing to make final investment decisions right now. Uh, in Germany, developers are lobbying to hand 16 gigawatts of offshore sites back to the states, and, and Bruch says that the, the capacity is, is not going to be built. Onshore, uh, the relaunched 5.X platform is ramping up slowly after the serial defect shutdown, with approvals still holding some orders back. So Siemens Gamesa is going to make a push, or [00:10:00] Omtera I guess it is called now, w- is going to make a push, uh, into the 5.X machine and continue on on the offshore side. But boy, some of these, uh, auctions and, uh, bidding processes are not great for Siemens at the moment.  Matthew Stead: I’ve got a question. Did, um, did Siemens actually stop selling for a while as well? Is that part of their order intake loss?  Allen Hall: Some of the machines, I believe, the 4.X and the 5.X, when they had the serial defect issues, uh, they put a hold on them for a little while and, and did a complete redesign, I believe, on the blades. But other turbines I thought were still being offered for sale, and I thought I saw s- some installs in the United States going on, more on the two megawatt, three megawatt machines, uh, but n- not the bigger ones. And, and offshore too, like it sound- does sound like the large offshore wind project in the United States, which is the coastal Virginia offshore wind project, uh, off the, you know, a couple of miles off the coast of Virginia, is [00:11:00]going a little bit slower than they thought. Uh, so maybe there’s a, a little bit to the 14. It’s, that’s a Siemens Gamesa 14-236 direct drive machine that’s going in there. So there, there’s some still learning curves going on from what I can see, but it does seem like it’s, uh, it’s, you know, formerly Siemens Energy, there’s a huge amount of money to be had in this corporation. So if the wind division is not doing all that great, it, it’s kind of like GE Vernova. There, there’s other ways to make money.  Matthew Stead: There’s also, I mean, I’m just wondering if there’s a bit of a blip. It’s just a short-term correction in terms of the order intake, and, you know, once they get back on track, uh, it’ll, it’ll revert again. Uh, that’s what I hope for, hope for.  Allen Hall: We’re gonna move on to Vattenfall. Uh, there was a Danish offshore auction, and Vattenfall won both of them. And Ørsted did bid and didn’t win, and no one seems to care too much that Ørsted didn’t win. Uh, and Vattenfall, it’s, it’s a huge deal for [00:12:00] Vattenfall. So- Orsted not winning in their own backyard does seem like a problem politically  Rosemary Barnes: If Denmark wanted to have, you know, local companies winning these auctions, then they could’ve, they could’ve, uh, you know, made it for l- local companies only or tilted the playing field in their favor. Um, so yeah, uh, I don’t know, maybe that’s the outcome that they want. If they want… It’s always like a, a tension, right? If you, you want cheap- the cheapest prices on one hand, you want local content on the other, and if you, you know, anything you do to one of those two sides affects the other. So yeah, like, in general, the more you encourage local content, then the more restrictions you place on companies to choose a cheaper supplier in every case. Uh, Denmark is at least well-placed to have good world-class suppliers in, you know, most, most categories of the things that you need in an offshore wind [00:13:00] farm. But yeah, I mean, you see it all over the world. Uh, you know, Australia periodically tries to, uh, you know, get more local content, but it’s very, it’s very hard for us ’cause we don’t have a whole thriving ecosystem. And so it’s like you’ve gotta pick out the one thing that you think that we could compete on and then subsidize that, and then it’s just, like, so… it’s such a weird distortion. And if companies didn’t already wanna choose that local supplier, it’s because it’s more expensive, so therefore you are necessarily adding cost. Um, I think Taiwan d- uh, has h- experienced a lot of this with their offshore industry, right? Where they kind of s- they got really enthusiastic about local content, and everyone’s like, “Yeah, this is a great thing to do ’cause you can get local manufacturing, and you can develop a whole thriving industry But then when it comes down to it, you know, it’s not so great to have, like, whoever set up the, the system that you’ve gotta adhere to to get these projects in place, like, they’re not the experts in developing offshore [00:14:00] projects for a cheap price and on schedules, obviously. Other- otherwise they’d be working in that, in that role. So you, uh, do end up making things really hard for the developers, and then you- they ended up with very expensive projects. And, um, because the local content, you know, like, they had what sounded, in theory at the start, like a good, um, like a good idea. They start off with a low local content requirement and gradually ratcheted it up as the industry is supposed to mature. But what they saw was the prices just ratcheted up in parallel. Um, especially once the few things that can be competitively supplied, uh, locally, once you… That is not sufficient to y- y- you know, once the local content amount exceeds what you can achieve with those competitive industries, then yeah, you do start to see people having to spend a lot more and add a lot of project risk if you’re, y- you know, uh, going with brand new suppliers that have never, you know, never supplied a project like that before. So I can kind of [00:15:00] understand why Denmark wouldn’t be so focused on, yeah, our local, our local company needs to win.  Matthew Stead: Yeah. Yeah, com- competition is a good thing, isn’t it? So yeah, you can’t have everyone winning all the time.  Rosemary Barnes: I think it’s such an interesting time, though, in the world where, and I’m changing my mind about this, like, yes, competition is a good thing, but if you only have competition, um, and don’t consider your country’s, you know, local competitiveness, then you end up not being able to make anything, especially when we’ve got, y- you know, in the world at the moment, there’s so much globalization, like, way more than ever before in the world’s history. And, you know, there are countries or our country mostly, that has, you know, 50% of market share for certain things, and more for other things that people need. It’s like, so- They can obviously, just based on scale alone, can produce things at prices that no [00:16:00] one else can compete with. And then you add in that not every country is totally committed to 100% fair global playing field and, you know, there are subsidies involved and incentives and that sort of thing. Like, you do just end up with every other country not thinking it’s economic to make anything at all. And then, yeah, I mean, everyone knows monopolies are bad, right? I don’t think that would be any different for supply chains. So I think, yeah, like we’re about to have a re-reckoning or are in the process of a re-reckoning about how much globalization is a good thing, how much free trade is a good thing, how much, you know, just letting the market take care of it is a good thing because nobody wants to end up in a situation where, you know, the whole world is dependent on one country to make absolutely everything. Yolanda Padron: Yeah, but is it, isn’t it also kind of like a cultural thing here for Vattenfall, um, like for Dane- Denmark itself to try to be very [00:17:00]strict about the rules and if Ørsted didn’t win the bid, then they didn’t win the bid type of thing? Like, to not try to give them as much of a, of an advantage ’cause they’re still owned majorly by the Crown, right? Allen Hall: It’s like 50% ownership by the state, right, Ørsted still.  Yolanda Padron: In general they, they have a lot of- very Danish rules of like against, you know, uh, in the US against like PACs and lobbying and stuff, and things that are very common here because it’s more culturally aligned with Denmark. Um, so I guess it, I mean, it does, it, it does make sense, right? That they would try to separate that as much as possible to try to not have that conflict of interest.  Rosemary Barnes: I think Denmark, um, definitely wouldn’t consider themselves rule followers, ’cause if you compare them to their immediate neighbors like, um, Sweden and Germany, the Danes are like a lot more relaxed. They have this saying in, [00:18:00] uh, Denmark that i- in, in Sweden, everything that isn’t forbidden is mandatory. That’s how they think of, of the Swedes.  Allen Hall: Wow. There’s a lot that’s not forbidden, Rosemary. You’re going into some murky waters there. Okay.  Rosemary Barnes: That’s their perception, and I think it is true relative to Sweden. The Swede- Swedes are more rule followers. But as, um, someone that comes from a probably more relaxed country, again, yes, the Danes did really like following rules. Um, like a lot of unwritten rules as well. I remember one specific example I remember actually, uh, we had like a whole, uh, I did Danish language classes when I was there, and part of that was like a cultural education. One of the classes was based around, uh, some of the unwritten rules in society, and one of them is it’s this date, and I don’t remember the date, but there is a certain date that if you have not trimmed your hedge by that date, that is just like y- you are not an upstanding member of society. Like, that is just like ab- absolutely not okay and like everybody that walks [00:19:00] past your house is like, “Oh my God, they haven’t trimmed their hedge yet,” and people will be talking about it and in the canteen at work. So definitely they do like to follow the rules. But what I will say about Denmark also is that I think that they usually top the world’s list, or at least close to the top in terms of trust. Um, they trust people in general, but especially they trust government institutions. And I think that you can’t have trust in government institutions if they pick and choose, um, when they’re going to enforce the rules or not. So I think that in that sense, yeah, of course, they’re not going to after the fact go, “Oh, this, the, oh, we had an auction, but the result wasn’t the way we liked it, so we’re gonna change it.” Like, that’s not a very trustworthy thing for a government to do. They do rely, obviously we’re a small country, they rely a lot on international trade, and so I think that they would see a big risk in, um, yeah, having their auction be anything but fully transparent and fair. So yeah. Anyway, that’s my, my cultural interpretation based on having lived in Denmark for five years. Uh, [00:20:00] five years ago now. It’s been a while.  Allen Hall: That wraps up another episode of the Uptime Wind Energy podcast. If today’s discussion sparked any questions or ideas, we’d love to hear from you.

 What if your life looks good from the outside but still doesn't feel fully yours? This episode is for anyone who has achieved everything they were supposed to achieve and found themselves quietly asking: why do I still feel like something is missing? Erika sits down with Saina Babaee, VP at Siemens, founder of her own fashion label, and mother of twins. Someone who followed the prescribed path with excellence and then had to find herself inside it. This is not a story about burning everything down. It is about what it actually looks like to stop living for everyone else and start building a life that is authentically yours. If you have ever caught yourself thinking: "I'm successful but I feel empty and I don't know why." "I want to start my passion but I don't know where to begin." "I have a good life. So why does something still feel off?" "I keep waiting for the right time to build something on the side." "I'm scared that wanting more makes me ungrateful for what I have." Then this is the episode is for you. In this conversation, Erika and Saina cover: *Why feeling empty despite your success is not a failing but a signal worth listening to *How to identify what you have been carrying since childhood that was never yours to carry *How to break long-held patterns without dismantling your whole life *Why you do not need to quit your job to start building your passion, and how having a 9-5 can actually make starting easier *How to build something on the side while working full time using a structure that fits around your life *What becoming a mother did to Saina's ambition and why it made her more driven, not less *How to lead with heart in corporate without losing results *How to navigate friendship grief and the loneliness of outgrowing people who no longer fit who you are becoming *How to reconnect with the creative, feminine side of yourself that high performance has pushed aside The version of you that has been waiting is not a different person. She is simply the one who finally has permission to exist. SPONSORS:

As AI agents grow more capable, the question of trust becomes increasingly critical, especially in complex engineering environments like semiconductor and PCB design. Siemens EDA and NVIDIA are tackling that challenge head-on, combining deep EDA domain expertise with cutting-edge AI infrastructure to deliver a new generation of agentic AI capabilities for engineering teams. In this episode, we sit down with Amit Gupta, Chief AI Strategy Officer at Siemens EDA, and Tim Costa, VP and GM of Industrial and Computational Engineering at NVIDIA, to explore how their collaboration is shaping the future of EDA workflows. Together, they discuss domain-scoped AI agents that don't just execute tasks but verify their own outputs using physics-based EDA software validation, purpose-built to support the demands of long-running engineering workflows. We dig into what self-verifying agentic AI actually means in practice, what the Siemens and NVIDIA collaboration looks like under the hood, and what it delivers in terms of tool-calling reliability, token efficiency, result quality, and time-to-results for engineering teams working across the full EDA lifecycle.

In this episode of 50 Shades of Green from Climate Group, hosts Adam Lake and Katie Lanegran welcome back transport correspondent Ricky (Richard Parker) by popular demand for a deep dive into corporate fleet electrification. Fresh off the release of EV100's annual Electric Realities Report, the conversation moves from high-level commitments to the practical realities of getting battery-electric vehicles on the road at scale. The episode features two rich interviews that map the full electrification journey. First, Ricky sits down with Brandon Jones from Ceres and Santeri Palomäki from the We Mean Business Coalition. They unpack complementary resources designed for companies at different stages. Ceres' Driving Growth: Managing Transition Risks in Transportation report makes the financial and risk-management case for electrification—covering physical, market, and transition risks tied to fossil-fuel dependence, capital reallocation, and regulatory shifts. It stresses accounting for transport emissions across operations and value chains, securing leadership buy-in for science-aligned targets, developing time-bound EV strategies, and joining collaborative platforms such as Ceres' Corporate Electric Vehicle Alliance (CEVA) and Climate Group's EV100. Santeri walks through We Mean Business's freely available Business Action Checklists (including a dedicated India edition). The second interview features Adam Orth, Head of US Fleet at Siemens. Siemens has electrified 50% of its roughly 8,000 US vehicles—spanning light-duty sedans, SUVs, pickups, medium-duty assets, and even early heavy-duty tractor trailers and yard spotters across every climate and geography. Adam shares how the company shifted from asking “which EV should we buy?” to “what does the job actually require?” That mindset unlocked operational redesigns: many small vans were carrying far less payload than assumed (or mostly air), leading to right-sizing into more suitable models (including a phased transition via ICE Equinoxes that prepared teams for the EV versions). Drivers now operate smart vehicles with one-pedal driving, advanced safety features, and 300–400+ mile ranges that meet real duty cycles.Adam is candid about remaining gaps—especially medium-duty vans with high payload needs—and the value of peer networks (EV100 and CEVA) in aggregating demand so OEMs can close those gaps. Change management has been continuous: custom training videos, ongoing education even after a year of driving, and treating electrification as an opportunity to improve efficiency rather than a one-for-one fuel swap. His three pieces of advice for companies just starting: begin with the work (not the vehicle), don't wait for perfect (electrify the easy routes first and learn), and don't go it alone.Throughout, the hosts and guests emphasize that electrification is operational systems change—not merely swapping powertrains. It forces companies to re-examine payload, routing, gear, employee behavior, and fuel-price risk. The consistent message across NGO guidance and corporate practice is clear: start now, share lessons, and scale what works. Listeners leave with concrete entry points—whether they still need to win the internal business case, need a step-by-step checklist, or are ready to move from pilots to majority electrification.Resources mentioned include the EV100 Electric Realities Report (climategroup.org), Ceres' Driving Growth report and CEVA, and We Mean Business Business Action Checklists. The episode closes with a look ahead to Climate Week NYC transport conversations (charging access, power availability, and vehicle affordability) and a preview of next week's guest.Tune in for actionable insights from the companies and coalitions already proving that large-scale fleet electrification is not only possible—it's underway.

De directie van de Duitse Commerzbank bleef het maar proberen: de cijfers opkrikken om weerbaar te blijven tegen een vijandige overname. Nou, het opkrikken van die cijfers, dat is gelukt. Commerzbank gaat bovendien door met het inkopen van eigen aandelen. Maar het verzet tegen de overname, dat wordt nu toch gestaakt. De top van Commerzbank is in gesprek met Unicredit, bevestigen ze vandaag. We maken de balans op en onderzoeken of de bank nu sterker is geworden door deze vijandige overname, of niet. Over overnames gesproken: de kogel lijkt bijna door de kerk bij Easyjet. De Amerikaanse investeringsmaatschappijen Castlelake en Apollo waren in een biedingenstrijd verwikkeld. Maar die eerste trekt zijn bod nu in, waardoor die tweede er met de winst vandoor lijkt te gaan. Toch houden beleggers nog een slag om de arm. Waarom? Ook dat gaan we bespreken. . En je hoort over een broekie op de AEX: SBM Offshore. Dat wordt de hemel in geprezen na goeie cijfers en een nog betere outlook. Of het bedrijf een blijvertje is aan de AEX, hoor je ook in deze aflevering. Vertellen we ook nog: Hoe het oerdegelijke Siemens verandert in een AI-bedrijf, inclusief zeurende aandeelhouders Over een tegenvaller bij Rheinmetall Waarom personeel van Bank of America aan de Ozempic moet Te gast: Thomas Pellegrom van ABN Amro MeesPierson BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo.

In this episode of the Washington AI Network podcast, recorded live at the CTA Innovation House in Washington, DC, guest host Sumi Somaskanda interviews Dr. Roland Busch, president and CEO of Siemens AG, to unpack "industrial AI" – a version of AI built for deterministic, repeatable results on the factory floor – robots, reshoring, and next-gen data centers. 

Digital, real, real, digital. It sounds simple, but it's rewriting how a warehouse gets designed.Joel Thomas has spent over a decade in the Intralogistics space and now leads OEM Sales Data Center and Life Sciences at Siemens. Markus Thiel just crossed the six month mark as Head of Intralogistics, after years on the manufacturing operations and supply chain side of the business.Chris caught up with both of them live in Atlanta during MODEX, over a Weiss beer and a pilsner at Halfway Crooks. They talk about what Intralogistics is, and how it's changed since the days of pallet jacks and conveyor belts.From there the conversation covers the industry engineer shortage, robotics, AGVs versus AMRs, why standardization is becoming such a hot topic among vendors, and what a warehouse looks like when it's designed digitally.In this episode, find out:How the day-to-day work of moving goods within a warehouse has changed over the past decadeThe shift to robotics, AGVs, and AMRs, and why orchestrating all of it is now the hard partWhy standardization is gaining ground even though flexibility with vendors used to be the priorityHow AI is being used to spot bottlenecks and predict maintenanceWhat edge computing means for a warehouseWhat it takes to build a digital twin, and why Siemens tests new technology in its own factory firstWhether a conveyor-less warehouse is realistic, and who's already exploring itWhy e-commerce has been the single biggest driver of growth in the industryWhat's next for the space, software-defined automation and the IT/OT layerEnjoying the show?

Go out and talk to people and just introduce yourself. The one great thing that you can do in this industry is say, ‘Can I help?'” - Joel Thomas, Director of OEM Sales Data Center and Life Sciences at Siemens”If you asked me 7 years ago, I would say that Europe was way ahead when it came to automation technology. Now, I think the US has caught up, if not maybe surpassed it.” - Joel Thomas, Director of OEM Sales Data Center and Life Sciences at SiemensLinks & mentions:Siemens Intralogistics provides intelligent material handling tech that empowers intralogistics to meet demands and overcome challenges via AI-enhanced automation and sustainable design.MHI the nation's largest material handling, logistics and supply chain association - active since 1945.Halfway Crooks Beer is the Atlanta brewery where this episode was recorded, known for traditionally brewed lagers in the Summerhill neighborhood.Make sure to visit http://manufacturinghappyhour.com for detailed show notes and a full list of resources mentioned in this episode.

A brochure anyone can read out loud is not a sales asset, it is a crutch. In this episode of Content Amplified, Jason Gwilliam returns to explain why the conversation closes the deal and content exists to back it up. Jason walks through the "scrub sink story," the 30 seconds outside an operating room where a rep has to land three points and then leave something behind. He explains the difference between a rep who is comfortable and a rep who is ready, why he sends people back out the door if they cannot answer the how, the why, and the what from Simon Sinek's Start with Why, and how the 10,000 hour rule from Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers shows up in sales the same way it shows up in film study and rehearsal. He also gets specific about AI as game film: what he learned running video coaching back in 2018, how to program a tool to measure cadence and filler words, and why coaching only works when weakness is not punished. Listen if your team has plenty of collateral and still loses the room.About JasonJason Gwilliam has spent 21 years in the healthcare and medical device space and has been a sales enablement practitioner and architect since 2008. He has sold for large companies including Philips, Abbott, and Siemens, and he makes the point that real enablement in med tech requires carrying a bag yourself so you understand what the field actually faces. He lives in King of Prussia, outside Philadelphia, and writes a notebook series on LinkedIn built around one idea: selling in 2005 is not the same as selling in 2026.

Karen Anderson shares how she moved from mammography into leadership, mobile breast imaging, community outreach and a corporate career with Siemens Healthineers.Sponsored by Siemens HealthineersLet me be real with you, this episode is the kind that makes a Mammography and Radiologic Technologist stop and go "wait, what?" I sat down with Karen Anderson, Scientific Marketing Manager and Key Opinion Leader Manager for North American Women's Health at Siemens Healthineers. She's been a mammographer for 37 years and still scans on Saturdays. Karen walked me through how she turned a 3-to-6-month wait at her old breast center into a 3-day turnaround, how she raised $42 million to build a new one from the ground up, and how Siemens' mobile units are now bringing 15-minute screenings, 4.8-second image sweeps, and 50-degree wide-angle tomosynthesis straight into communities that need it most.If you're a tech thinking about mammography, mobile imaging, or community health as your next move, this one's for you.Bring a mobile unit to your community → Community Outreach Program linkIn this episode:How Karen turned a 3-to-6-month mammogram backlog into a 3-day wait, then raised $42 million to expand access even furtherWhat actually happens during a 15-minute mobile mammogram, from registration to resultsWhy Siemens' 50-degree wide-angle tomo and 4.8-second scan time matter for image quality and patient comfortHow hospitals and health systems can partner with Siemens to bring a mobile mammography unit into their own communityReal patient stories from the Philadelphia mobile unit, including a woman too afraid of radiation to get screened, and a man who showed up with a mammogram referral in handCareer advice for technologists considering mammography or mobile/community imaging as their next moveGuest: Karen Anderson, Scientific Marketing Manager and Key Opinion Leader Manager for North American Women's Health, Siemens Healthineers.

Het is een beetje een saai, ouderwets en gedateerd techbedrijf, maar tóch moet je erop letten, zegt onze gast, Jos Versteeg van InsingerGillisen. Infineon! Een Duits techbedrijf, volgens Jos in de verste verte niet vergelijkbaar met bijvoorbeeld TSMC, daar is de techniek te oud voor. Tóch vindt hij de cijfers interessant, omdat ze chips leveren voor datacenters. Daar hoopt hij meer over te horen. We kijken vooruit op de cijfers, en ook een klein beetje op die van AMD. In Beurs in Zicht stomen we je klaar voor de beursweek die je tegemoet gaat. Want soms zie je door de beursbomen het beursbos niet meer. Dat is verleden tijd! Iedere week vertelt een vriend van de show waar jouw focus moet liggen. Te gast: Jos Versteeg van InsingerGillisen BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Je hoort hem ook in de BNR-podcast Moerdijk: dorp van de rekening. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

KI verspricht den schnellen Erfolg. Warum bleibt dieser Weg für die meisten trotzdem unerreichbar? Für diese Folge von „How I met my money" hat sich Lena mit Jens Polomski unterhalten: Als LinkedIn Top Voice im Bereich KI und Mitgründer der KI-Enablement Company snipKI berät er Unternehmen wie BMW, Siemens und die Handelsblatt Media Group dabei, KI praktisch im Arbeitsalltag zu verankern. Seine zentrale These: KI ist keine Abkürzung, sondern ein Werkzeug, das erst im Zusammenspiel mit dem eigenen Urteilsvermögen wirklich effektiv wird. In der Folge spricht Jens unter anderem darüber, – warum kein Tool jemals darüber entschieden hat, ob ein Unternehmen erfolgreich wird, und was stattdessen zählt. – welche Rolle Geduld in einer Zeit spielt, in der scheinbar alles sofort verfügbar ist. Und: was das für den Umgang mit Geld bedeutet. – warum KI-Ergebnisse oft überzeugender wirken, als sie eigentlich sind. Und wie wir unser eigenes kritisches Denken schützen. Eine Folge über den Mythos vom schnellen KI-Erfolg. Und die Frage: Was bleibt wertvoll, wenn alle Zugang zu denselben KI-Tools haben?

Deglobalization is rewriting where factories get built, and Ujjwal Kumar of Siemens explains what has to change on the plant floor before reshoring actually works.For thirty years the manufacturing playbook was labor arbitrage. Move high volume, low mix production to wherever disciplined labor was cheapest, then ship it back. Ujjwal Kumar, President of Automation for Siemens Digital Industries in the Americas, argues that model has quietly stopped making sense. Demand has fragmented into high mix, lower volume, regionally specific production, and the factories in Suzhou running on robots and autonomous systems no longer carry a cost advantage over the same operation in Chicago. When the labor content collapses, the business case for distance collapses with it. That single shift explains more about the current reshoring wave than any tariff headline.The trigger was not one event. Supply chain disruption after COVID proved that geographic proximity to supply was a profitability advantage, not a nice to have. Then came the political shock: vaccine access turned out to be governed by country of citizenship rather than global distribution, and leaders across every region started sorting industries into a folder marked critical. That folder now holds semiconductors, steel, power generation, defense, space, and life sciences. Ujjwal walks through where the money is actually landing right now, including AI data centers in remote locations that demand autonomous and remote operations, power generation across fossil, renewable, nuclear, and hydro, and a level of greenfield life sciences investment in the United States he has not seen in decades. The life sciences point is the sharpest one in the episode. Drug manufacturing left as mass produced batch operations and is returning as cell and gene therapy, personalized medicine, and precision biologics, which means lot sizes of one and R&D sitting physically next to production. The design it here, build it there model taught in business schools simply does not survive that.About Ujjwal KumarUjjwal Kumar is President of Automation for Siemens Digital Industries in the Americas. A mechanical engineer by training with an MBA from the Michigan Ross School of Business, he began his career at General Motors in Detroit and went on to spend ten years at GE and seven years at Honeywell Process Solutions before leading Teradyne Robotics, one of the largest physical AI based robotics platforms. He oversees the Siemens automation portfolio spanning discrete, process, and intralogistics automation, and he continues to mentor MBA students at Michigan Ross.Timestamps0:00 Introduction2:00 Career path from General Motors to Siemens6:10 What deglobalization means for manufacturing9:00 COVID, vaccine quotas, and the reshoring trigger13:05 Labor arbitrage versus automation arbitrage15:50 Attracting the next generation of factory workers19:35 Why semiconductor reshoring will take years23:00 Tribal knowledge and the documentation problem26:00 Where the investment is going right now32:30 Adaptive manufacturing and the AI hype question35:30 Platforms, ecosystems, and Siemens Xcelerator43:20 Careers, AI, and advice for engineersReferencesSiemens Xcelerator Marketplace: https://xcelerator.siemens.com/global/en.htmlThis episode is sponsored bySiemens is a technology company focused on industry, infrastructure, transport, and healthcare, and it supplies industrial automation hardware and industrial software to manufacturers worldwide.

Clayton Callander is the founder of FTL (Field Technologies), a diagnostic platform built to give commercial buildings something like a check-engine light, closing the service gap for the roughly 95% of properties that enterprise vendors like Honeywell and Siemens can't economically reach. Before founding FTL, Clayton spent seven years maintaining nuclear systems aboard a US Navy submarine, worked at SpaceX, and earned his MBA from Harvard Business School. He built FTL for the people fixing America's commercial buildings because he used to be one of them, and the tool he needed didn't exist yet.

How do you hold employees to high standards of performance while being a supportive leader? The answer is walking the accountability tightrope.In this episode of Boss Better Now, Joe Mull continues a special series adapted directly from his live leadership workshops on accountability in leadership. Listen in as he explains why driving results without adequate support kills team morale, undermines employee motivation, and exactly what you need to do to fix it.Many managers fall into an enforcer mindset where they expect immediate performance with minimal ramp up. Joe shares how these leaders often focus entirely on outcomes and ignore the journey required to get there. He details exactly how to shift away from a harsh management style where people end up feeling incompetent, and instead provide the meaningful support necessary for real employee performance management and leadership development.What to Expect in This Episode:The Accountability Tightrope: Joe continues the series focused on balancing high standards with supportive relationships.Recognizing the Enforcer Mindset at Work: What happens when impatient expectations meet an over-reliance on employee self-sufficiency.Why High Accountability Without Support Fails: The real costs of leaving employees to figure things out alone, resulting in fear, low energy, and a lack of creativity. This is also one of the fastest ways to damage workplace culture and hurt employee retention.The Problem with Fully Formed Expectations: Why expecting employees to walk through the door completely knowledgeable sets everyone up for failure.How to Build an On-Ramp for Success: Steps to use collaborative language and stand alongside your team to troubleshoot problems. This is the kind of practical manager training that actually changes behavior.Moving Beyond Pass or Fail Feedback: How to use performance feedback to praise progress and effort, normalize struggles, and build the psychological safety employees need to learn and grow.The Open Door Policy Trap: Why relying on an open door policy transfers responsibility to employees and fails to account for real workplace power dynamics.Shifting to a Go and Ask Mentality: How getting up from your desk to do rounding creates the specific conditions your team needs to thrive, and why this habit is central to lasting employee engagement and leadership coaching that actually sticks.
