389 Identifying and Acting On Problems You Can Solve   We are surrounded by problems everyday of our lives, some manageable and others seeming too monumental to handle alone. Which is why it is so important to build a community of like minded individuals with the same goal of making a true difference.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Tessa Clarke discuss the relationship people have with stuff, food waste, and how Tessa's company Olio have been making a real difference in the face of the climate crisis.     Highlights Our relationship with objects, like clothing, that shape our identity.  What do you waste without realizing? How much do you think you throw away in a week? A month? And a year? We all need someone in our corner to help build us up and to help chart a path forward. Building community while also solving problems. Quit wishing things would be better and start making the change yourself.   Quotes “We always think the grass is greener on the other side but it never is.” “What's good for the planet is good for people and vice versa.” “It is honestly exhausting being a founder, trying to drive the change in a world that's set up not to change. So you've got to find ways to reenergize yourself and to keep going, to keep fighting every single day.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, When you think about those 4 to 5 years that Tessa talked about and that journey of wanting to be entrepreneurial and thinking about it in terms of “what is the problem I can solve?” What is something you could start today, maybe it eventually becomes a side hustle, maybe the side hustle stays a side hustle, or maybe it turns into something more. What is a problem that you've experienced, that maybe you're the person to solve?    And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Tessa Tessa Clarke is the co-founder and CEO of Olio, the world's only neighbour-to-neighbour food-sharing app, and a trailblazing force in the fight against waste. Since launching in 2015 - and as a remote first business - Olio has grown into a global movement with 8 million users, redistributing over 100 million meals and 14 million household items, proving that small actions can drive massive change. Recognised as Veuve Clicquot's Bold Woman of the Year in 2023, Tessa is also a Sifted columnist, an Ambassador for the Better Business Act, and a member of the Small Business Growth Forum, advising the UK Government on SME concerns. With a track record of disrupting industry and mobilising communities, Tessa is a passionate speaker who inspires audiences to rethink business, sustainability, and the power of grassroots innovation. Check out Tessa's LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram! As well as her website Olio, and her TED Talk!   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

If you work in tech, you're likely in one of two camps: thinking about using AI agents, or already deploying tens of them.That's why Emma Burrows cofounded Portia AI, a platform which helps businesses build and use AI agents securely, in-house — and which secured £4.4m in a seed round led by General Catalyst back in April.Emma's no stranger to a breakneck sector: before founding Portia, she was UK chief technology officer at payments giant Stripe, and previously built out the ecommerce stack at Charlotte Tilbury.In this week's episode of the Sifted podcast, Emma joins editor Amy Lewin to talk about what AI agents can and cannot do, the very real risks they pose to junior engineering jobs — and why she doesn't feel ‘mum guilt'.Key moments:0.00: Intro and about Portia AI3.00: How companies are using AI agents9.00: Impact of AI agents on junior engineers15.07: What AI Emma uses to code16.00: Transition from Stripe to founding a company19.15: Being a female founder in AI22.40: On 996 and hustle culture24.30: Emma's angel investing25.40: General Catalyst relationship27.30: The AI Act33.00: Quick fire questions and outro

Defence tech unicorn Helsing — which raised a whopping €600m in June at a €12bn valuation — has swiftly become one of Europe's most intriguing and closely-watched startups. Defence is top of the agenda for many policymakers and investors at the moment, and four-year-old Helsing has been crowned the poster child for the rising European defence tech wave. But, despite all that, the Munich-based company is remarkably secret about what it actually does. On this episode of the Sifted podcast, defence tech and VC reporter Anne Sraders and editor Amy Lewin share what they know of the rather mysterious company's products and clients, what murmurings they've heard from defence experts and investors and discuss what they think Helsing will do with all that money in the bank.Key moments: 00:00: Intro to Helsing02:47: What does Helsing actually do?06:02: Shifting attitudes to defence tech08:49: Challenges and criticisms facing Helsing12:06: What will Helsing do with €600m?

French fintech Qonto is a rare beast in startup land: it's actually profitable. Founded in 2016, the company provides banking and other financial services to 500,000 small businesses customers across eight European markets, helping them do everything from banking to accountancy, lending, savings, and as of recently, payment terminals.And being in the black gives it plenty of opportunities to expand further, via new product development, acquisitions — and by becoming a fully-licensed bank.In this episode of the Sifted podcast, CEO Alexandre Prot joins Amy to talk about how soon Qonto might apply for a banking licence, how it's using AI to tackle fraud and what lies ahead on the path to an IPO.Key moments:02:30 Acquisition strategy 14:05 Becoming a ban19:24 Secondaries and fundraising plans22:57 IPO?25:37 Challenges ahead 28:14 Fraud and AI35:45 What Alex would do differently building Qonto again

Secondhand marketplace Vinted needs little introduction, with tens of millions registered users around the world who use its app to sell everything from clothes to furniture to even lava lamps.But the (profitable) company is swiftly becoming far more than a marketplace: it also has its own shipping infrastructure, a payments business and — as of recently — a venture arm.Despite that, CEO Thomas Plantenga is far from complacent: “If we really want to make secondhand first choice, then everything that we have needs to be a lot better.”“The only thing that protects you is if you consistently improve what you have, because if you don't, somebody's going to see an opportunity to do things better than you do. And if somebody else is delivering more value to users than you, then you don't deserve the position you're in.”In this week's episode of the Sifted podcast, host Amy asks Thomas what's next for Vinted, how does it plan to stay three steps ahead of the pack and what are its exit plans.Key moments: 2:53 - Vinted's key businesses4.00 - Vinted's userbase7.30 - Secondhand market globally 9.00 - How can Vinted improve?13.00 - About the logistics business18.14 - About the payments business25.06 - Thomas' stance on competition27.30 - About Vinted Ventures31.03 - M&A strategy 33.26 - What does Vinted Ventures wants to invest in?35.24 - What could go wrong at Vinted?38.18 - Advice for CEOs41.09 - Vinted's exit

If you work in tech, you've probably heard about Lovable — the AI agent startup that's helping users make websites without writing a line of code.The company hit $50m in annual recurring revenue earlier this year — just 12 months after launching — and recently poached a team member from 20VC. Not bad for a startup most people hadn't heard of this time last year.But how's Lovable actually growing so fast? What's its CEO Anton Osika really like? And is the hype justified?On this experimental 13-minute episode of the Sifted podcast, editor Amy Lewin grills Europe editor Mimi Billing on what she's found out.

If you're in venture, it's quite likely you're already a Granola user, and if not, you've probably heard VCs bang on about how much they like it. The London-based note-taking startup is growing fast, with users increasing 10% week on week, and last week announced a $43m Series B at a $250m valuation — just a year after launching. But the 20-person team faces stiff competition — there are plenty of other ‘knowledge work' tools out there — and there's a lot to discover about how we all really want to use AI in our day-to-day lives. On the latest episode of the Sifted podcast, editor Amy asks Granola cofounder and CEO Chris Pedregal: What could the road ahead look like for a company like Granola? Why's it being built in London? And what's life like as a founder of a ‘hot' AI startup?This podcast was brought to you by HSBC Innovation Banking, connecting you with what's next.

Navigating Life's Storms: Understanding the Difference Between Drifting and SiftingEver feel like life's challenges are either pulling you away or refining you? This week on the Bucky Kennedy Podcast, we dive deep into the powerful concepts of drifting and sifting, exploring the crucial differences between these spiritual experiences. Join us as we unpack scripture, examining how God uses both passive faith and intentional testing to shape us. We discuss Peter's denial, Job's unwavering faith, and how we can discern between the consequences of our choices and the refining work of God. Discover practical tools for navigating life's storms, cultivating a heart posture focused on pleasing God, and recognizing the urgency of the moments we face. Learn how to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, even amidst the sifting, and find hope in the knowledge that He has a purpose in every trial.

Are you feeling shaken, tested, like you're being sifted? In this powerful message, "The Sifted Saint," Pastor Bucky Kennedy explores the challenging realities of the Christian life, acknowledging that even sincere believers face trials and temptations. Drawing from Luke 22 and the story of Peter, Pastor Bucky offers a message of hope and assurance. He reminds us that God is with us in the midst of the sifting, praying for us even when we stumble. Join Pastor Bucky as he shares biblical insights and practical wisdom on persevering through difficult times, strengthening your faith, and finding the grace to turn back to God. Discover how these "sifting" moments can ultimately refine us and make us more like Him.

"In the absence of trust, people will disengage. No amount of technology or process can replace the human need for belief and belonging."-Julian StoddThis episode is a must listen for those looking to expand their ideas about leadership, technology, and the psychology of work!In this episode of "Psych Tech @ Work," I welcome Julian Stodd, founder of Sea Salt Learning and prolific author whose work challenges conventional views on leadership, work, and technology, by looking at them through new paradigms.  Our conversation was refreshing because Julian offered thoughtful reframing of my ideas about psychology in the workplace that are worth noting.    In our conversation Julian reframes the way we think about the evolving workplace, focusing on the shift from traditional hierarchical structures to social leadership and distributed power. His perspectives offer a compelling critique of the conventional social contract between organizations and employees, arguing that this contract has been fundamentally broken by modern work dynamics.Julian highlights the role of technology, particularly AI, as a tool that both amplifies and disrupts traditional power dynamics within organizations. He also emphasizes the need for organizations to adapt, not just by automating tasks but by fostering trust, belief, and a sense of belonging to truly engage employees. This conversation is a powerful reminder that organizations must evolve beyond transactional relationships and embrace the social elements that drive real engagement and productivity. Throughout the episode, Julian emphasized the critical balance between formal organizational structures and the informal, social dynamics that truly drive engagement and innovation. He suggested that many organizations over-rely on formal systems—hierarchies, policies, and processes—while underestimating the power of social structures, such as networks of trust, influence, and collaboration.Julian repeatedly showed me a new way to look at my ideas about the psychology of the workplace.  For instance:The Traditional Leadership Model:* I Mention: I spoke about the role of leaders in providing clear direction and overseeing teams to ensure productivity.* Julian's Reframe: Julian challenged this conventional view, arguing that leadership in the modern era should be about social authority rather than formal hierarchy. He explained that leadership is increasingly granted by the community based on trust and belief, not just a title or position, and that successful leaders must earn this trust by engaging meaningfully with their teams.The Psychological Contract Between Employers and Employees:* I Mention: The importance of the traditional idea of the psychological contract as a way to understand the employer-employee relationship, where employees trade their time and skills for compensation and job security.* Julian's Reframe: Julian reframed this concept by stating that the traditional social contract has been broken. He argued that organizations need to move beyond seeing employees as resources or commodities. Instead, they should recognize that people are investing their belief and engagement in return for trust, growth, and belonging. Julian emphasized that organizations must rethink this relationship to thrive in the modern, social age.The Importance of Individual Differences:* I mention: The importance of the concept of individual differences, focusing on the traditional scientific approach that measures and assesses traits like personality, intelligence, and abilities to predict workplace behaviors and outcomes.* Julian's Reframe: Julian suggested a shift away from solely focusing on the science of individual differences as fixed traits to considering individuals as dynamic and adaptable within social systems. He argued that while the science of individual differences is important, it often overlooks the relational and contextual factors that influence behavior. Julian emphasized that people are shaped by their environment, relationships, and the social dynamics they are part of. He proposed that instead of just measuring traits in isolation, organizations should focus on understanding how individuals interact with the system around them and how they can grow and evolve within that system."Take it or Leave it":  Julian and I give our opinions on articles that suggest a declining need for human workers in the workplace of the future.* "AI-Powered Companies with No Employees Coming Soon"* Summary: This article from Sifted discusses the rise of fully autonomous companies that leverage AI agents to run without employees. While the article presents a futuristic view of e-commerce and automation, Julian and Charles critique its narrow focus and overhyped narrative, emphasizing that while AI may automate some functions, people will remain central to innovation and decision-making.* "The Rise of Autonomous Enterprises"Summary: This article from HFS explores how data-driven decision-making and automation are shaping the future of organizations. Julian and Charles discuss the potential for organizations to become more efficient through data governance and AI, but caution that organizations still need human judgment and emotional engagement to make meaningful decisions.

What did Jesus mean when He said we would be "sifted" for our faith? Why must we suffer trials for our faith? How should the Christian respond to such sifting? Pastor Josiah & Ethan discuss.Secret Link

“It can be difficult for people to know who they can speak to about it,” says Amy Lewin, of entrepreneurs who are unhappy in their own companies.  Amy is the Editor at Sifted, a media platform focused on Europe's startup ecosystem and she joins The Conscious Entrepreneur podcast to discuss a survey Sifted recently posed to a number of entrepreneurs, the vast majority of whom reported experiencing poor mental health, high stress and even a strong desire to leave their businesses within the coming year. Though these figures may seem alarming, they merely shed light on common struggles and pressures felt by entrepreneurs which are so often swept under the rug for fear of looking weak or needing to maintain an ultra positive mindset in order to see their businesses succeed. On today's episode Amy will reveal more of the survey's findings as well as what venture capitalists (VCs) can do to support entrepreneurs, in whom they, after all, have a vested interest.    The survey highlights the importance of a community in an entrepreneur's life. Family and friends share the entrepreneur's burden, while simultaneously being unable to relate. Professional networks of like-minded contemporaries can go a long way toward making isolated individuals feel heard and connected, as well as ease the mental health stigma.    Today, Amy shares the common regret shared among most entrepreneurs and why quitting might be the best thing they could do for their careers.    Quotes “It was just a real sign of the personal toll—and not just even on the founders, but on their family, on their friends, on their colleagues—just another reminder that building startups is really tough.”  (4:48 | Amy Lewin)  “Whenever we publish stories about that personal side of company building at Sifted, we get the most amazing response. People love knowing that they're not the only ones. And I think sometimes, startup culture is so much that you've got to be optimistic. You've got to believe that your company can be the one in 100 that's going to really make it.
