Er hat den Google Ads Account von Snocks von ganz klein auf ganz groß hochskaliert und Johannes gezeigt, dass Google Ads auch für seine Brand sinnvoll und profitabel sein können. Er ist zusammen mit seinem Team der kreative Kopf hinter dem Erfolg vieler erfolgreichen Google Ads Konten der bekannten D2C Brands im DACH-Raum, wie foodspring, waterdrop, Blackroll, SUSHI Bike und noch vielen mehr. Die Rede ist vom Gründer der Google Ads Agentur “Touchpoint”, Simon Borg. Bei uns im Podcast berichtet er worauf es ankommt, wenn man erfolgreich und profitable Google Ads für den eigenen Shopify Shop schalten möchte, wie man das Ganze angeht und worauf man achten sollte. Er teilt mit uns Learnings und Insights rund um SEA, Google Ads und Co.
2022 hat SNOCKS über 15 Millionen Euro Umsatz mit Google gemacht. Ein großer Teil des Umsatzes ist dabei auf das Kampagnenformat Performance Max zurückzuführen. Damit können Werbetreibende mit nur einer einzigen Kampagne algorithmusgetrieben auf das gesamte Google Ads Inventar zugreifen, also Search, Shopping, YouTube, Display, GMail, Discovery. Da Google hier viele Arbeitsschritte selbständig durchführt, sollte das Werbekonto allerdings täglich überwacht werden, um eine Balance zwischen der Automatisierung durch Google und dem notwendigen menschlichen Input hinzubekommen. Im Podcast sprechen Edvin Dizdaric von SNOCKS und Simon Borg von der Agentur Touchpoint darüber, wie eine Performance Max Kampagne eingerichtet wird, wie viel Budget für einen ersten Test sinnvoll ist und auf welche Kinderkrankheiten man stoßen kann.

Simon Borg-Olivier is a polymath of the movement world. A forerunner of yoga in Australia and a teachers' teacher. He also holds two BSC's an lectures regularly for a number of University science departments. This is his second time on our podcast, expressly this time to talk about the impact of breath upon movement in preparation for an upcoming workshop on breath at Keen On Yoga to accompany this podcast. In this conversation Simon gets quite technical as to how to utilise the diaphragm for the sake of connecting breath to the inner functioning of the body. Not exclusively referring to the yoga-model he synthesises modern science with the yoga-perspective in a way unique to him. Equally, he explodes yoga myths - such as bandha with a hard abdomen and how this actually freezes the diaphragm and hence the prana in the body. All this is done with characteristic energy and lucidity and Simon himself in his early sixties is a living example of the power of a breath-based practice.

#018: Simon Borg-Olivier Scott talks to Simon Borg-Olivier on his 50 years as a teacher and practitioner of yoga. Simon Borg-Olivier is a maverick and someone who has truly done his own research into how yoga works for him. Simon Borg-Olivier has been studying traditional forms of posture, movement and breathing for over 50 years. He has worked as a research-based scientist, exercise-based physiotherapist and a university lecturer. He has over 33 years experience teaching yoga, inspiring people all around the world. He co-founded Yoga Synergy in 1984 with Bianca Machliss, leading daily yoga classes, workshops, teacher training courses and international events. His passion for his work has brought him to understand the interconnectedness of the world around us, and the belief that we can make the world a better place by acknowledging and enhancing the connections within us and around us. The purpose of a yoga practise for Simon is to ‘lovingly encourage the circulation of energy and consciousness’ in the body, so that we can be in greater harmony with everything around us. You can find out more about Simon’s profile and teaching schedule here and his teacher training courses here Simon also has a new online Ashtanga Yoga course. You can access it here. Finding The Real Yoga – Simon Borg-Olivier Scott and Simon have an incredibly expansive conversation on SImon’s 50 year exploration into yoga and movement and his search for the ‘real’ yoga. Simon shares incredible stories of his time spent with some of the leading teachers of modern postural yoga and shares how he has formulated his unique approach to yoga teaching and practice. In this inspiring conversation Simon shares: How he was introduced to breathing techniques when he was very young. His fascination from an early age with the connection between yogis and nature. That for him, meditation is a deep deep process of the body and mind based on circulation of the blood in the body. How his approach to meditation resonated with the Iyengar teaching method. How meeting Professor Bim Dev Malik inspired him to see the possibilities of what yoga can achieve. That meeting Shandor Remete in 1985 really deepened his knowledge of Iyengar Yoga and sent him to meet BKS Iyengar in India, leading him to understand that only BKS Iyengar taught true Iyengar yoga. How he learnt Ashtanga yoga in 1985 from Robert Lucas, Cliff Barber and Danny Paradise. About meeting Pattabhi Jois in the 1990s, and w he’s still inspired by Ashtanga yoga. How he met TKV Desikachar, who was an influence too. How seeing and learning the Malakam practice in India inspired him greatly. Learning dasaran in Malakam was challenging but a way to connect with the Indian boys in India. The similarities between yoga postures and martial arts postures. About his time working in an Indian hospital. His decision to teach yoga rather than become an academic in 1992. How, as a result of a friend having a bad accident, he presented yoga exercises to doctors to help rehabilitate paraplegics. That training to be a physiotherapist was about being able to present yoga to doctors as a valid rehabilitation process. How becoming a physiotherapist changed his way of teaching people. His views on how easy it is to become a yoga teacher now, and why he set up his own teacher training programme. How Yoga Synergy became a system that could help benefit a wide range of people, basing it on traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga and adapting it for the modern body. How he healed from a back injury by changing how he moves as well as how he teaches, and how this non-traditional approach has been healing for himself and others. How care needs to be taken with yoga cueing so that their meaning and helpfulness doesn’t get lost or misunderstood How he met his teacher, Master Zhen Hua Yang, in 2007, who he continues to train with. How he sees his role as a teacher as learning from his mistakes and doing better job with his students than he did with himself. That the ultimate purpose of yoga is to realise that we are all one – a manifestation of connected consciousness – which we can start to realise by becoming physically connected with ourselves first. That, for him, the aim of yoga practice is to generate loving information and communication in the body by freeing good energy, and becoming yama and niyama in action. That, ultimately, it’s all about love. Simon talks about: Shandor Remete BKS Iyengar Prashant Iyengar Cliff Barber. ‘To me Simon Borg-Olivier is a teacher’s teacher. A modern day icon and maverick in the yoga world. He is a visionary and has never rested on his laurels, always learning… This conversation get’s behind how he has become the yogi we know and love. An essential listen for all modern day yoga practitioners who are on a quest for real yoga….

Simon is a true innovator. His style of yoga, yoga synergy is a very thoughtful integration of a number of south-Asian practices under the roof of yoga. Having been introduced to the benefits of controlling breath at a very young age, he has spent his life learning and teaching sciences of movement - now for almost 40 years. He combines this work with a firm foundation in Western medicine; having completed his 3rd MSc, he lectures and researches on physiotherapy at a couple of Universities in his native Australia.
Talking to Simon Borg-Olivier is like going snorkelling with Jacque Yve Cousteau - you suddenly find yourself in a bathyscaphe at the bottom of the ocean exploring its depth and multifacetedness of creatures you never knew existed, although in our case it's the ocean of Yoga and the creatures are different angles to view mudras, kriyas, asanas, yogic breathing and the concept of movement itself. In this fascinating talk Simon takes us on a wild ride through many different angles to view the common things - from questioning the validity of the most basic instructions like lifting your arms and drawing your shoulders down in Surya Namasakara to how almost any yogic tool can cause a different outcome based on your intention and tiniest details of your technique. We speak about Simon's ideal practice routine, how to nourish yourself with practice in the hard time of Covid-19 caused isolation, how to stay connected while being isolated and physically disconnected, how to expand your meditative practice far beyond the formal time spent on the yoga matt. This interview offers you so many dimensions to explore, think and question your views and believes, and we felt very enriched, and once again mystified with all the new pieces of the yogic puzzle.Show notesLooking into drishti and physiological aspecs of chanting Simon's take on breathing practice Practice of kriyas - the intricacies of Nauli & Lauliki and dosha specific objectives Moving from the core Self isolation and how yogic tools can help: meditative states Meditative cleaning :) Thoughts on what makes a supportive practice vs. increasing stress level through activity Coping with isolation and finding a perspective in the info swamp Breathing waves geekery Ratios in Nadi Shodana and the subject of Kumbhaka Are you able to breathe into your chest in a relaxed way? 7 stages of Hatha Yoga treatise and Basti kriya as a prerequisite for mudra, asana and pranayama Important paradigm shifts to happen in modern postural yoga Kapalabhati, Bastrika, Nauli and the danger of misinterpretation of their purposes Shades of Kumbhaka Incredible hyperventilation experiment Words of caution and thoughts on selecting a teacher and teachingCheck out YogaSynergy or his personal website for more information on Simon's teaching.---Check our website for more content: http://escaping-samsara.com/Enjoyed this podcast?

How are you feeling this morning? Are you riled up about the US national team’s skin-of-their-teeth win against Martinique? Or is it just part of the process? With Andrew back in New York – complete with a few mystery bites from Kansas wildlife – the guys break down the Gold Cup for Bruce Arena so far, the winners and losers from Wednesday night’s action, Dax McCarty’s World Cup ticket and Canada’s newest hype train. After the break, US and Atlanta United goalkeeper Brad Guzan joins David Gass to explain why now was the right time to return to MLS, how excited he is to be a part of an expansion team “doing it right” and outline the differences between Bruce Arena and Jurgen Klinsmann. In the mailbag, the guys name their midseason award winners, hear from a listener who ran into Simon Borg in the flesh and ponder whether LAFC are behind the eight ball sans coach and players with closing in on six months until 2018 preseason begins.
Drunk Unkel struck again and the guys discuss Orlando City's monumental defensive effort to overcome his stupidity. They also break down Simon Borg defending Unkel and MLS coverage of the game.
Today is not the day to save ExtraTime Radio for your commute, unless of course you’re doing everything in your power to be on the couch for the United States’ final Semifinal Round World Cup qualifier against Trinidad & Tobago (8 pm ET, FS1). ESPN’s Jeff Carlisle joins Andrew and David for a big-picture conversation that centers on Christian Pulisic’s rapid rise from prospect to potential USMNT starter. Should he be in the XI, though? There’s some dissention there. Can Canada get through to the Hex? In a word, doubtful … but possible. Oh, and it wouldn’t be CONCACAF without some drama. Find out what’s making its way thought the regional grapevine. It may have been an international break, but half of MLS still hit the field this weekend. The guys start in the Bronx, where David has a crush on D.C. United’s Argentine delight. But are NYCFC the best team in the Big Apple? The Red Bulls have something to say about that after going cross-country to get a win in Vancouver. The Caps are wilting, and it looked like the Revs were too before grabbing three points against the Rapids. Same for the Fire, who had Jim Curtin throwing the table out the window after a home rout of the Union. In the mailbag, Doyle gets what’s coming to him, a fan wonders if Simon Borg has family in high places and the Nigel de Jong transfer gets a second look.
There’s still plenty to play for in the 2015 season, but can the new-look LA Galaxy be stopped?

Meanwhile, Andrew and David try to figure out where Andrea Pirlo would fit in with New York City FC as they review a wild weekend.
