Don’t miss this massive SMB partner shift! Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://theultimatepartner.com/ebook-subscribe/ Check Out UPX: https://theultimatepartner.com/experience/ In this pivotal episode, we sit down with Jose Gomez Cueto, Microsoft’s SMB leader for the Americas, to uncover the monumental shifts happening within the partner ecosystem and the $20 billion cloud opportunity currently on the table. The discussion dives deep into Microsoft’s commitment to the CSP channel, the explosion of AI agents, and why shifting from traditional headcount growth to outcome-based results is critical for survival. From navigating the complexities of the marketplace to the urgency of becoming “Customer Zero” with AI tools, this conversation provides the roadmap every MSP needs to thrive in the new era of technology. https://youtu.be/QE-1w7GeyPM Key Takeaways Microsoft operates a $20 billion cloud revenue business in the Americas alone, with 80% driven by the channel. The Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program is now Microsoft’s primary hero motion for the fourth region. The currency of SMB growth is shifting away from headcount and moving directly toward AI-driven outcomes. MSPs must transition from traditional IT outsourcing to strategic business process consulting to survive. Failing to proactively adopt and secure AI tools creates massive liability and shadow AI risks for organizations. IT providers are urged to become “Customer Zero” by deploying and testing Copilot and autonomous agents internally before selling them. If you're ready to lead through change, elevate your business, and achieve extraordinary outcomes through the power of partnership—this is your community. At Ultimate Partner® we want leaders like you to join us in the Ultimate Partner Experience – where transformation begins.

[00:00:11] Vince Menzione: You can feel it happening. [00:00:13] Vince Menzione: The ecosystem is shifting beneath us. The way Hyperscalers are partnering, how AI is remaking the channel and what it means to win in 2026. [00:00:23] Vince Menzione: Welcome to the Ultimate Partner Podcast. I’m Vince Menzi, own your host. And each week I sit down with leaders at the intersection of technology, partnerships and outcomes. The voices shaping how ecosystems actually work. We talk about what’s real, what’s changing, and what it takes to lead in this era where the partner channel isn’t just part of the strategy. [00:00:45] Vince Menzione: It is the strategy because being in the room changes everything. Let’s start. [00:00:55] Vince Menzione: I am absolutely thrilled for our, our next guest. Um, some of you heard me talk about this maybe earlier or in various pockets of conversation. Um, I believe both the SMB market is an, is an incredible opportunity. We’ve called it the Acre of Diamonds at Ultimate Partner at previous events. And then the MSP community, which I want to thank so many of you to for coming, coming on board now. [00:01:25] Vince Menzione: ’cause we’ve had some MSPs that have come to all our events. And doubled, tripled, quadruple the sizes of their business. From what they’ve learned in these rooms. And so we invited our next guest to come. Oh, Jose, come on up. Jose Gomez Cuerto is the leader of Microsoft’s SMB business for the Americas. Come on. [00:01:43] Vince Menzione: Come on over. Come on over. Sit down with me. And I was so thrilled to get this gentleman to come join us. His team is doing incredible work. I got to meet some of his team actually earlier this year. And we know each other for many years ago. [00:01:56] Jose Gomez Cueto: We do. [00:01:56] Vince Menzione: When I was at Microsoft, right? Yeah. So, so great to see you again. [00:01:59] Jose Gomez Cueto: It’s a pleasure to be here. Uh, thanks for the invitation. I’m thrilled to be here. And thank you all for making time, uh, or traveling here. Uh, this is the best time. To be in the industry. [00:02:10] Vince Menzione: It’s an incredible time. [00:02:11] Jose Gomez Cueto: Yeah, [00:02:11] Vince Menzione: it’s an incredible time. So sit down. Yeah, sit down. Let’s, yeah. So let’s talk about you and your organization. [00:02:17] Vince Menzione: Um, let’s talk, well, I, I, I wanna bring this up because it was like, the noise I heard in the room when I was, I went to Interven earlier this year. Yeah. Is, does Microsoft Care about this market? And, um, I was at Microsoft many years, we worked together when I was a, a gm. And, uh, it was run differently back in the day. [00:02:37] Vince Menzione: Yeah. And there’s been a lot of changes to what we call the SME and C business now. Mm-hmm. Uh, and the SMB business, which you run. So let’s talk a little bit about your organization, where you sit in the organization, and then I want to kind of dive in a little bit about what’s changed. ’cause a lot has changed for the better. [00:02:54] Jose Gomez Cueto: Yeah, it’s a great question and I think that that’s what a lot of people think about, uh, SMB and, and who’s SMB and, and who’s at Microsoft and who do I talk to. So, [00:03:02] Vince Menzione: yes. [00:03:02] Jose Gomez Cueto: Uh, even though I know a lot of, uh, friendly faces in the room, I think it’s a great, uh, starting point. Vince, so. Basically, uh, I am responsible for what we call the small and medium business, uh, segment. [00:03:15] Jose Gomez Cueto: Uh, we can also call it small and medium enterprises. Uh, I would say that it is not a monolith. Uh, we do have, uh, subsegmentation, I think that our friend Jay was talking about up to 20 subsegmentation. Uh, we think about it for simplifi simplification purposes on three. Uh, so we have, uh, the smaller organizations, the medium-sized organizations. [00:03:36] Jose Gomez Cueto: And then what we call top point manage, which is basically large enterprise that we simply don’t have an account management team, uh, assigned to. And we are the happy recipients of many of those, uh, every year. Uh, so I would say that, uh, a best definition would be also anything that is unmanaged and is primarily driven through the channel. [00:03:54] Jose Gomez Cueto: Uh, we run in the Americas approximately more than $20 billion of revenue, uh, on cloud. Uh, that’s [00:04:01] Vince Menzione: crazy. [00:04:01] Jose Gomez Cueto: So, and 80% of that is done. Through companies that are here, [00:04:05] Vince Menzione: $20 billion of business. [00:04:07] Jose Gomez Cueto: Yeah. So, um, the, the Americas region that I’m, uh, representing and under my responsibility includes basically three sales units, the United States, Canada, and Latin America. [00:04:18] Jose Gomez Cueto: Yes. Latin America is more fragmented because we have multi-country and multi, uh, subsidiary, uh, structure. Just to recap a little bit of what you asked me rewinding on what has happened in the last two or three years. Yeah. We brought basically, uh, probably something that you might remember from you were there. [00:04:36] Jose Gomez Cueto: I, yes. Uh, which is bringing the segment, uh, with the channel together. So, uh, I think that, um, uh. Earlier in the morning, uh, Steven was, uh, talking about it, what we call S-M-U-N-C, which is, uh, this segment with the channel. And the main reason is to drive, uh, that synergy, uh, and making, uh, a very bold statement that many of you might remember in the last two years, uh, Judson and Ralph, uh, heter or, or new, uh, president for this, uh, fourth region. [00:05:05] Jose Gomez Cueto: Uh, ’cause we call it fourth region. Yeah. ’cause the other one is our enterprises. [00:05:08] Vince Menzione: Yeah. So Asia, Americas Exactly. And, and EMEA. Then you’re the fourth region. [00:05:13] Jose Gomez Cueto: We’re the fourth region. So, so, um, making CSP, uh, our hero motion, and that is fantastic news. I, I started, uh, part of my journey, uh, in, in the channel, uh, way earlier in distribution in the year 2000. [00:05:30] Vince Menzione: Yep. [00:05:30] Jose Gomez Cueto: Uh, and fast forward, I would say 2011, we were launching the first commercial SaaS offering, which was Office 365. Um, I had the privilege to be, uh, leading the launch globally for that. Uh, but then we, the first thing we did was build a channel, and that was called syndication. And basically the precursor of that, uh, became CSP, basically putting, uh, the partner or customer in the middle, the partner around it for the, not only the, the opportunity, but also the responsibility to serve the customer. [00:06:04] Jose Gomez Cueto: 360 from, uh, presales all the way to, uh, uh. Upsell cross sell, and in between deployment, uh, things, uh, around, um, servicing, bundling offers, uh, troubleshooting and support, et cetera. So, uh, back to your question was, this is a very important thing because we’re basically, uh, making our channel the scale and, and the vision that we have is, is that we are gonna be continuing to scale through the channel. [00:06:33] Jose Gomez Cueto: So, um, one last thing I say, uh, in terms of the organization that I think is important for everyone to understand, and I’m gonna go a little bit into more org structure, is that we, we have these three sales units that are geographic. But, uh, what we’ve done this year is to have, uh, more depth on the solution area. [00:06:50] Jose Gomez Cueto: So you might remember that, uh, we’ve simplified them, uh, same as we used to have 8, 13, 13 areas. Now we have only three Oh yeah, same, same, uh, in the solution area. So we have, uh, the AI business solutions. Uh, cloud and AI platforms. And then, uh, security and my team basically mirrors that structure. And we have, uh, team members, uh, primarily, um, our partner, solutions specialists that are, their job is to work with companies like you. [00:07:17] Jose Gomez Cueto: Uh, some few we do, uh, direct in others. What we do is work with, uh, our top distributors, and I think we have, uh, in the room many of those. I think Google is gonna follow up, uh, for PAX eight, and that’s, uh, how we’re going to market now. [00:07:31] Vince Menzione: So just a little bit of context too for me. ’cause I, I, I had heard this at another event. [00:07:36] Vince Menzione: Yeah. And I just wanted to share this. Um, when I was at Microsoft, we, we did not put the right emphasis and energy and resources in the s and b market when I was there, or, or it was fragmented. Every group did it differently. You remember those days too, right? Well, with public sector, we didn’t necessarily have a team focused, and every business did it a little bit differently. [00:08:00] Vince Menzione: Mm-hmm. And I think one of the contexts you, you mentioned Ralph and being in Ralph’s organization. Yeah. Pulling that all together and creating the fourth region created a lot of focus that didn’t exist. And consistency in terms of execution. I think that’s what you’re talking about here. Right? And then also the fact that like, we didn’t, I don’t think we had a sep, an SMB leader back in, back in the day. [00:08:22] Vince Menzione: Like we didn’t have somebody that we can go to to think about the MSP community the way we do today. Mm-hmm. Right. We were just, they were just almost like unmanaged entities out there. Yeah. Was that, would you, would you agree with that? [00:08:32] Jose Gomez Cueto: Yeah, I, we went through several iterations that, uh, you might argue, uh, were painful or not. [00:08:38] Jose Gomez Cueto: Uh, ultimately what we’re committed is to simplify the partner experience. And make that the same for the customers. But what we have is now one center of gravity, uh, a global SMB organization. We have three area leaders. And uh, and that helps us, uh, to be quite honest and in confidence. And you and I talked about it, Jose, this is a forum for, uh. [00:08:58] Jose Gomez Cueto: Speaking the truth. Uh, we, we, we have to fight the gravitational force of the managed space. The company has a big enterprise footprint, so, uh, many of us have become, uh, the chief agitators, uh, to fight the good fight, uh, for SMB. Uh, try to under unpack, uh, in every single conversation with senior Execut. [00:09:17] Jose Gomez Cueto: What is an MSP? And no, it’s not data consulting or one of the large, uh, global design. Uh, and then we explain what they do and then what is a two tier channel, how do distributors work? And, uh, and what about this and what about that? So I think that that has been, uh, a great, uh, progress and a lot of that can be reflected, uh, into how we’re, hopefully everyone in the room is seeing it in how we’re going to market. [00:09:40] Jose Gomez Cueto: I’ll give you two examples. [00:09:41] Guest: Yes. [00:09:42] Jose Gomez Cueto: Um, for, for quite some time. We, we have very limited, uh. Product truth. That’s what the lingo that we use internally, uh, related to offer that were targeted to SMB. And I would say that, uh, business premium, uh, for M 365, uh, was the fact to offer. But now we’ve been able to in, uh, increase, uh, the not so not only commitment, uh, but also the investment that we’re doing as a company into launching offers. [00:10:08] Jose Gomez Cueto: So we have a co compiler for business that is. At a lower price point that has, uh, the same capabilities at the enterprise, uh, that we’re, uh, doing that we also have some security, uh, offers, uh, that are now unattached to business premium, which is our hero motion for sub 300 space. So you start to see, uh, an important trend and it’s great to have jobson at a CEO, uh, of the commercial business capacity because, uh, we’re making things happen. [00:10:34] Jose Gomez Cueto: So what I would say is that I love coming here to these forums. A lot of my team members are here. We’re here to learn. We’re the learner. All we, we, we don’t know much. We need to learn more. Uh, and, and just keeping us honest in terms of bringing that, uh, ethos of, of the customer that most of you are serving and, and, and things that we can improve to get better to deliver value. [00:10:58] Vince Menzione: Yeah. And the speed at which you’re moving has been pretty fast. It’s been very nimble. Like I, I, I’ve been watching this progression. It’s really like you, you’re really leaning in. I was actually hoping because I could ask you a bunch of questions. Yeah. But we have such a great audience and for the first time we really have opened it up to a lot of MSPs in the room. [00:11:18] Vince Menzione: Yeah. And I know you, you wanna get some interaction with some of these folks as well. I thought maybe we would open if you’re okay with this. Yeah, absolutely. I’d rather than I go off script a little bit. I’d rather open it up to some of the MSPs in the room. We’re sitting here eager to learn how and, and what Microsoft is going to do to help. [00:11:35] Vince Menzione: Because I think the opportunity, I personally think the opportunity is huge right [00:11:38] Jose Gomez Cueto: now. Yeah. Let’s do that and well, we get, uh, warmed up. I would say that. [00:11:43] Vince Menzione: So we need some mics. Yeah. [00:11:43] Jose Gomez Cueto: Uh, something that I’m, that I’m seeing, uh, Vince, and, and, and a question that many of you might have is why now? And, and why this an, an exciting, an exciting time. [00:11:54] Vince Menzione: Yes. [00:11:54] Jose Gomez Cueto: Um, and I would say that, uh. Right now we’re seeing, obviously Jay talked about it and, and the big transformation, but it’s a once in a generation or one in a lifetime. Yeah. Uh, shift of the entire platform. Uh, and, and a lot of the scenarios are even maybe scary, but what we see is huge opportunity. And from an SMB perspective, uh, the biggest thing that excites me is moving from, um, something that was. [00:12:23] Jose Gomez Cueto: More related to size, and now we’re moving to outcomes. So, so think about the future of SMBs, uh, with agents and things being measured on outcomes. And, and what this leads to is, uh, Jay talked about it as well, and sorry Jay, it’s such a good job that I keep quoting you. Um, we do that a lot. Uh. You got it. [00:12:49] Jose Gomez Cueto: So you talked about, uh, I noticed that Bill Gates when he said, you know, uh, uh, a pc, uh, in every desk and what we see is every human empowered with agents. Yeah. Especially in work. And what does that mean, that the currency changes being, because what you’re gonna be able to, to envision. Not in the, in the, in the near future, but now is an agentic explosion where then, uh, the currency is outcomes? [00:13:14] Jose Gomez Cueto: Yes. So if you think of an SMB growing, it’s not growing on, on, on full-time employees or headcount. It’s growing on the ability to do more through agents. So, so I think that’s an important thing and, and that’s something that we’re working very closely with our all, all our channel and the offerings that we’re launching to market as well. [00:13:32] Vince Menzione: I also think about the MSPs as being perfectly positioned because what you described, the new, the new model, the future customer and the outcomes is gonna require hands on the steering wheel at all times. [00:13:44] Jose Gomez Cueto: Yes. Yeah. So on that one, and still waiting for some, uh. Someone that is not shy to ask questions, but we’ll, we’ll keep going in the meantime. [00:13:52] Jose Gomez Cueto: Uh, I, I think that, uh, we are learning, all the [00:13:55] Vince Menzione: MSPs are lined up over here. I’m marching them all. [00:13:57] Jose Gomez Cueto: We, and, and I almost know by name all everyone in the first two rows. Yes. Uh, so, so, uh, I might pick on them. Uh, they’re too shy, but, but we’re learning together. Uh, Vince, uh, the important thing is, is the transformation, uh, and the opportunity, but also the risk of, uh, not acting. [00:14:17] Jose Gomez Cueto: Uh, what we were seeing, uh, for the first, uh, year or two was kicking tires, people testing, uh, ai. And now what we’ve seen is basically, uh, a full adoption. Uh, of the agentic technology, not even adoption of the tools, but embracing the technology. So I, I want to give you, uh, two specific, uh, examples or data points we have, uh, just in the Americas, more than almost 9 million, uh, people using copilot chat. [00:14:49] Vince Menzione: Wow, that’s amazing. [00:14:50] Jose Gomez Cueto: So imagine, uh, the, the potential that is there for people that are actively using the tool. Yeah. Uh, to en enable new scenarios of doing things. Uh, another example, and I think I have, uh, someone in my team here, is Amber in the room. Amber Kinney? No, she left. Okay. So Amber runs, uh, cloud and ai, uh, uh, or Azure platform. [00:15:12] Jose Gomez Cueto: Uh, her team has deployed, uh, more than, uh, 11 agents internally for our partner solution specialist, uh, from. Simple agents that will, uh, tell is if a specific deal is eligible for a pre-sales or post-sales program. And comparing all the complexity of our programs, oh my [00:15:29] Vince Menzione: goodness. [00:15:30] Jose Gomez Cueto: All the way to, to, to managing a pipe more effectively of opportunities. [00:15:34] Jose Gomez Cueto: So what we’re seeing is real. This is not something that people are just kicking the tires. It’s like this is the opportunity. So back to, to the point of m ms. P uh, is, is about learning together on how to transition. To, uh, a model that is gonna be based on outcomes. And, and we were discussing, uh, I was with some of our distributors, uh, many of them in the last two months in, in a specific partner advisory, uh, councils and, and some people were just sharing their experiences. [00:16:04] Jose Gomez Cueto: Oh, I decided to charge X amount for an agent. And how do you come up with that number? I don’t know. We’re just testing. Okay. And what about their current revenue? Uh, and, but what about the tokens? What if, uh, the agents start to consume and they’re gonna do the metering? So, so I think that we’re learning together in this space. [00:16:22] Jose Gomez Cueto: Um, but what it is important is just to think about the important, the, the, the critical role that the MSPs are gonna have in leading. And the biggest challenge that we’re seeing and, and we see it over and over and over is, uh, the part about scaling. [00:16:38] Vince Menzione: Yes. [00:16:39] Jose Gomez Cueto: The skilling is not, uh, about learning how to use the copilot tool or to do, uh, some, uh, you know, tuning and that, because thankfully our, at least our, our technology as a platform, uh, pretty much carries the same, uh, security, uh, and compliance configurations that you have in your Microsoft 365 tenant. [00:17:00] Jose Gomez Cueto: But it is more the, the, the skilling about understanding how to do. Customer outcome conversation. What is your AI strategy? What [00:17:08] Vince Menzione: that’s scaling? Yes. [00:17:09] Jose Gomez Cueto: What really matters? Not [00:17:10] Vince Menzione: the technical skill. It’s, it’s really the approach that they’re taking. [00:17:14] Jose Gomez Cueto: Yeah. [00:17:14] Vince Menzione: With the organization. I, it seems that MSPs for many years were down in the weeds. [00:17:20] Jose Gomez Cueto: Yeah. [00:17:20] Vince Menzione: They were turning the, the wrench, so to speak, in the organization, and yet now it seems like this. Kevin Piker, your old boss used to use this term. The, the CIO. The CEO is the new CIO. In other words, you need to be selling upstream. You need, you need to be having the conversations in the organization that are strategic [00:17:40] Jose Gomez Cueto: Yeah. [00:17:40] Vince Menzione: To that organization. [00:17:41] Jose Gomez Cueto: So, two, two twofold on, on that, uh, point, which is very important. One is, uh, not our, a lot of our MSPs are equipped right now. [00:17:49] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:17:49] Jose Gomez Cueto: To have a, a conversation about business strategy. Because traditionally has been more outsource it. [00:17:56] Vince Menzione: Yes. [00:17:56] Jose Gomez Cueto: Uh, we started with, you know, managing the networks, then adding services, support tickets, et cetera. [00:18:03] Jose Gomez Cueto: So being able to have that conversation is important. Uh, we, we see through a lot of our tooling that, uh, the shadow AI is everywhere. And what I always tell in any MSP conversation that I have is risk security. You’re on the hook if something happens. That’s right. So if you’re not acting. Uh, then it is a liability. [00:18:22] Vince Menzione: You’re letting things take off in your own organization. Yeah. People are using [00:18:25] Jose Gomez Cueto: philanthropic on their own. The company can go, uh, bankrupt or get sued or get, uh, if they’re in a regulated industry, they can be taken out, et cetera. So, so that’s an important point, uh, related to, to that transformation. Uh, and, and the other part of the skilling that you mentioned that is super important is being in the weeds. [00:18:45] Jose Gomez Cueto: That is where the innovation is happening. Yeah. The later research that we have is being in the front line because it’s all about, uh, reinventing those processes. So I think that it’s a, it’s a good combination that if we have the MSPs, um, and we’re working, uh, not only internally but with our distributors to develop the right skilling around those other type of, uh, consulting skills. [00:19:07] Jose Gomez Cueto: Uh, data skills, uh, business process, uh, redesign and flows. Uh, that is where, where we see the big opportunity. [00:19:14] Vince Menzione: So it’s balancing out the technical skills with the business process skills, the consulting skills. Yeah, exactly. I think we have a question over here. Yeah. [00:19:22] Guest: Good afternoon, Vince. Good. Sorry. Thanks for the great content. [00:19:26] Guest: The question is around small medium businesses and the cost around cybersecurity. So. Basically, as new tools are coming up that are AI based, such as co-pilot for security, defender for AI, are also consumption based, is there a risk that SMEs will be left out under that cybersecurity poverty line? [00:19:52] Jose Gomez Cueto: I don’t think, uh, it is, uh, a risk to being left out, uh, in the country that the, the SMBs, I would say are more help is needed. And, and the way we think about it from a perspective of, of ai and specifically I’m want to talk about agents, uh, it was mentioned by Steven in, uh, in the morning, and I’m gonna talk a little bit high level and then I’m gonna try to bring it down to, to more tangible is this concept of intelligent and trust. [00:20:19] Jose Gomez Cueto: So on the intelligence, what, what we’re, what we’re trying to say here is that your AI is not just generic stuff that you just prompt and you get like anything that is on the web, but there’s contextual. Data, and, and that’s what we do, uh, with what you might be familiar with, which is the iq. Uh, so we have, um, iq, uh, also in Foundry and on our different data products. [00:20:40] Jose Gomez Cueto: So basically bringing the context of your work, of your contacts, of the people you interact, uh, of the meetings of, of the emails, of the SharePoint files, but also important connectors that are in line of business applications that you can bring to copilot. And then. That intelligence, uh, is relevant and that that basically increases innovation. [00:21:01] Jose Gomez Cueto: And the part about trust, uh, uh, not exactly in cybersecurity, but, but related is basically, uh, agent 365. Uh, can I see, show of hands, who’s aware of Agent 365? Maybe like [00:21:14] Vince Menzione: in the front two rows, [00:21:15] Jose Gomez Cueto: 20%? Yeah. So, um, that is basically, uh, an, an amazing opportunity for our MSP channel because it gives you opportunity to. [00:21:25] Jose Gomez Cueto: Basically observe, uh, govern and apply security to the, the agent activity that is happening. So we think in the context of ai, I think that that’s a, a, a super important, uh, aspect to mitigate any risk of, of what can happen if there’s not, uh, the right, uh, posture. Uh, and then, uh, on, on, on the other part of security, I would say that something, I mentioned something about offers. [00:21:51] Jose Gomez Cueto: We brought the capabilities of the enterprise, uh, SKUs and solutions into these add-ons to N 365. So I would say that with, uh, defender for business, uh, plan two, and sorry to go into the SKU language, uh, it, it is important to, to understand that you have those advanced capabilities. And then another one that we’re pushing, uh, hard and, and is had great receptionist, um, uh, purview, uh, and purview. [00:22:15] Jose Gomez Cueto: What allows you is just to really do everything related to data. Data security policies of what data should be prompted by the model, what information to stay or, or, or not stay. Uh, and I think that’s, that’s also a good opportunity that we’re seeing to bring those, uh, advanced capabilities into the SMBs. [00:22:33] Jose Gomez Cueto: The challenge that we have is how do we get them faster, uh, to everyone, especially when there’s, uh, you know, competing, uh, so solutions around it. [00:22:44] Vince Menzione: We have one more question, and I think we’re probably gonna have to break after that. I know we’re over time already and you’ve got a busy rest of your day. I got, well, we got one back there and we’ve got a mic up here, so, so we have two questions. [00:22:57] Vince Menzione: Yeah. We’ll do Tim first and then we’ll get the [00:22:59] Vince Menzione: mic up. I’ll go for the first 30 minutes and we’ll go from there. Yes. Long time listener. Great to see you again. Jose. Um, business premium, we did E seven. We talked about getting a voice from the MSP space. To build out a business premium, like additional offering. [00:23:13] Vince Menzione: Is there any context to that you have any vision in your crystal ball for October? [00:23:17] Jose Gomez Cueto: Uh, I cannot say or, or deny. Uh, but yeah, I think that what, what you I love it in, in all seriousness team. Uh, thanks for the question. Uh, I think that what you should expect is, uh, I call it product truth, uh, more, uh, SMB built purpose built for solutions. [00:23:35] Jose Gomez Cueto: So an equivalent of, of any seven as well. Yeah. [00:23:40] Vince Menzione: You still have, we have another question in the back? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. [00:23:43] Guest: Yeah. Uh, Jeremy here with Integral, um, there’s this kind of idea going around that while CSP has been very successful for many of us as MSPs and, and since the beginning, it’s been a great program that was focused on s and b and it’s come up now. [00:23:57] Guest: There’s this kind of shift saying, and CSPs and you think about being marketplace companies where CSP is, the plumbing and marketplace is, is the lead. If that is true, or maybe you comment on that, that idea. How does marketplace strategy playing into kind of, I guess I’m plugging serials piece now from behind, but how does marketplace strategy then play into the s and b market if CSPs are focused on that marketplace mechanism? [00:24:21] Guest: Where CSPs now are and the, and the modern work and all the things that we’ve been doing really well for a long time become, maybe plumbing is too far down the stack, but really marketplace being a focus, is that a strategy piece that we should be thinking about for CS p strategy overall? [00:24:36] Jose Gomez Cueto: Yeah, it’s a great question and I’ll try to keep it brief. [00:24:39] Jose Gomez Cueto: Uh, I think you need my v The vision that we have is we’re doing both. Uh, we’re empowering, uh, and customers to find what they need. Uh, in the marketplace. Uh, zero talked about also the opportunity for resellers to get enrolled and start to add services and other things. There’s also, another part of the is, is multifacet, uh, to work with ISVs to make it easier and recruit them to bring the right offers. [00:25:03] Jose Gomez Cueto: For SMBI would say that the feedback that we need is to make sure that the right SA ISVs are the ones that serving SMV are represented. Then from another front, I would accept that yes, we have some, uh, plumbing work to do because right now, uh, some part of the billing is not really that nimble for a two tier model if you’re working through a distributor. [00:25:23] Jose Gomez Cueto: So we made some great progress. Uh, we, we, uh, have, uh, announced something and Ignite, if you missed it, I think we might talk about it, uh, soon. Uh, but we have that, that connection via APIs with, uh, the four largest, uh, global distributors. So we’re making progress towards something that will be seamless. Uh, but I think that the biggest opportunity that we have is, is to crack the code, uh, for marketplace. [00:25:46] Jose Gomez Cueto: And, and, you know, if I might say something that is confidential, avid Vince, uh, to be quite honest, please, uh, by definition a marketplace is eliminating intermediaries. So that’s the dilemma. How do you bring the channel in between to help you expand, [00:26:02] Vince Menzione: right? [00:26:03] Jose Gomez Cueto: That that is really the, the, the, the, the holy grail, if I may use those words. [00:26:07] Jose Gomez Cueto: Uh, but that’s something that, that we’re working towards. And I think, uh, we have a great opportunity ahead and, and you should expect, uh, more announcements as we head into the summer events on how we’re gonna make that more seamless. [00:26:19] Vince Menzione: And REO really lit up the channel Yeah. In, in a big way. ’cause that a hundred percent, that was a blocker before. [00:26:24] Jose Gomez Cueto: Yeah. [00:26:24] Vince Menzione: Yeah. But CSP is also an incredible opportunity if it, you know, I know, I know there’s other sessions and conversations around it. And it does feel, and I’ve heard this before, like I wanna buy from my MSP because they’re the ones I trust. [00:26:37] Jose Gomez Cueto: Yes. [00:26:37] Vince Menzione: But yet I go, I have to go around the system in order to transact my Microsoft licenses. [00:26:43] Vince Menzione: Right. Yeah. And that’s, [00:26:45] Jose Gomez Cueto: I think the scenario getting the gentleman was mentioning is related to marketplace. But yeah. Vince, uh, uh, I just wanted to perhaps close, uh, please. Because I think we’re outta time, right? Yeah, we [00:26:54] Vince Menzione: are. [00:26:54] Jose Gomez Cueto: Yeah. Uh, just in terms of what to expect, uh, we are continuing to be, uh, partner centric. [00:27:01] Jose Gomez Cueto: You should expect as we go into the next fiscal year, uh, more refinement into the customer subsegmentation, we have this concept of above 300 and below 300, uh, working even closer with our distributors to help us scale and amplify the efforts that we do around recruitment, scaling, go to market, uh, co-sell, et cetera. [00:27:22] Jose Gomez Cueto: Uh, and then, uh, obviously expect, uh, we, we, a call to action that I have for everyone is become customer zero. Vince, I’m gonna put you on the spot here. How many agents did you use today? [00:27:37] Vince Menzione: None. [00:27:37] Jose Gomez Cueto: Okay. [00:27:38] Vince Menzione: I, I’ve been in the room leading the room today, [00:27:41] Jose Gomez Cueto: even with more reason. [00:27:42] Vince Menzione: No, I, in, I need to do [00:27:43] Jose Gomez Cueto: more. Put your autonomous agents. [00:27:44] Vince Menzione: I do. [00:27:45] Jose Gomez Cueto: I’m not kidding you and I didn’t, I need to be [00:27:47] Vince Menzione: more of [00:27:47] Jose Gomez Cueto: a frontier for myself. The answer I get usually is like one hand raiser, by the way. Uh, but, but, uh, jokes aside, uh, I think. Becoming customer zero is critical. We cannot be deploying and selling what we’re not using. Uh, we have, uh, great tooling for low-code scenarios, uh, in, in, in, now, I don’t wanna say like in a few months now we have no one, uh, people that have zero knowledge and coding already developing and deploying agents into a secure environment. [00:28:19] Jose Gomez Cueto: It is happening. [00:28:20] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:28:20] Jose Gomez Cueto: So, uh, then, uh. Copilot. It is not a competitor charge, GVP or cloud. It is a platform we have both included. [00:28:29] Vince Menzione: Yes. [00:28:29] Jose Gomez Cueto: Do we have multimodal, we have iq. That is everything, uh, closed in terms of, uh, your intelligence. It is secure by default. Uh, and then allowing you to, to do, um, agents and then agents 365 to manage it. [00:28:41] Jose Gomez Cueto: So basically those three stages, customer zero. Uh, copilot agents and Agents 365 as your tool to, to manage them [00:28:50] Vince Menzione: and don’t go rogue and start doing your own things with anthropic and setting up your own instances because you’re gonna compromise your, your instance in your environment. [00:28:59] Jose Gomez Cueto: Well, actually, uh, if you do it in the copilot interface [00:29:02] Vince Menzione: Oh, well, I’m saying do it. [00:29:03] Vince Menzione: Yeah. I’m, I’m at RO going off, off, off, uh, [00:29:06] Jose Gomez Cueto: off. Yeah. Yeah, [00:29:07] Vince Menzione: yeah. Great. Well, thank you, sir. Appreciate you. Thank you.

This column is intended as an introduction to Japanese “rice wine” anchored by Bōken No. 77 Junmai Ginjō Saké.Bōken No. 77 is worth seeking out. Bōken means “journey” or “adventure.” It shows a pale silver color and floral nose—honeysuckle, lemon aromas; then coconut, pear on the palate. Clean finish. Medium-plus body. It strongly leans toward sweetness, but it has excellent balancing acidity and fruitiness.While saké can be enjoyed on its own, it also is a versatile food wine, which is what Bōken intended with this label. It is curated and marketed for American tastes, especially for novice saké sippers—and also to be paired with American cuisine: grilled fish, lamb chops, steaks, barbecue, mashed potatoes. 13% ABV. $50-60.Bōken Saké founder Daisuke NakajimaBōken Saké is a portfolio of authentic Japanese sakés made by a very well established and well-regarded maker. One of the breweries involved dates to 1487. Another was founded in 1884. According to Daisuke Nakajima, U.S. importer and founder of Bōken Saké: “We launched Bōken to broaden the appeal of saké beyond traditional Japanese cuisine. We take pride in partnering with family-owned, small-batch brewers, and we're thrilled to demonstrate that saké is not only flavorful but can also complement a wide variety of dishes from around the globe.”Bōken No. 77 has an SMV of -18. “SMV” stands for Saké Meter Value; the more negative the number, the sweeter the saké; -18 means it is sweeter than most ginjō sakés. A more common score for junmai ginjō is +3 to -5. This case is balanced by high very high acidity, similar to Sauternes or German Riesling Spätlese. No. 77 refers to a special strain of yeast used to make this saké. The yeast is noted for high malic acid production and fruitiness, key elements in balancing sweetness.Its rice polishing ratio is 60%, which refers to how much of the original rice grain remains after 40% of the outer layer was removed. The outer layers of rice contain fats, proteins, and minerals that can affect saké's taste and aroma and cannot be converted into saké. Only the starch in the rice can be made into saké after it is converted by koji enzymes (more about that in a bit). A rice polishing ratio of 60% or less qualifies the saké for ginjō/junmai ginjō classification. The next classification is daiginjō/junmai daiginjō, which means 50% or less of the original grain remains. More polishing tends to result in a cleaner taste.Saké often is called “rice wine,” but saké involves a complex and unique brewing process that is completely different from grape wine. At its very simplest, you can make grape wine by pouring grape juice into a vessel and sitting back and letting ambient yeast and nature do their thing without human intervention. Not so with saké. Saké production is closer to beer production than grape wine production because saké starts with a grain—not a fruit—and requires converting starch to sugar.After the rice is polished, it is washed to remove any remaining bran, then soaked in water to achieve the desired moisture content. The rice then is steamed using specialized equipment. The next step involves koji—a special mold (Aspergillus oryzae)—that is a crucial element in saké production. Rice is spread on tables in the koji room. Koji spores are mixed with the rice. The mixture is covered and left for about two days, during which time the koji mold grows, producing enzymes that will later convert rice starch into fermentable sugars.Bōken brewery partner Hiraizumi, now in its 27th generationSaké brewing involves a unique, multiple parallel fermentation where saccharification and alcoholic fermentation occur at the same time. A yeast starter (shubo) is prepared by mixing steamed rice, koji, water, and yeast. Bōken ferments for roughly four weeks using the traditional Yamahai method to prepare the mash for fermentation for this saké. The main fermentation (moromi) takes place in large tanks and lasts three or more weeks.The process begins by combining the shubo with more steamed rice, koji, and water in three stages over the next four days. The mash is mixed daily and fermented at low temperature. Bōken ferments this at 60º F; other methods run at 45º-55º F. During fermentation, the alcohol content can increase to 18-20% ABV, but makers often add water at bottling to reduce it. Saké typically has an ABV similar to or slightly higher than grape wine. A standard saké is 13-16% ABV. Japanese law requires saké to be less than 22% ABV.After fermentation, the mash is pressed to separate the liquid saké from remaining solids. Some styles, like nigori saké, are pressed or strained more coarsely so fine particles of rice remain suspended. This retains a cloudy appearance and achieves a fuller mouthfeel. Most saké, including this one, is then pasteurized to kill bacteria and deactivate enzymes that could affect flavor and color. After pasteurization, most saké is aged for several months before bottling.Next comes enjoying the finished product. One way to serve saké puts an emphasis on generosity or hospitality. The “mokkiri” style of service involves pouring saké into a small glass that is inside a wooden box called a “masu” (once a measuring device for rice). The saké is deliberately over-poured so some of the saké flows over the glass rim and into the masu. The term mokkiri means “filling full or more to the rim.” This style of serving represents the Japanese concept of “omotenashi” (hospitality). The intention is to reflect the server's generosity and often is associated with restaurant or izakaya service (similar to a bartender pouring a pint so the beer spills a bit, except with saké you get to enjoy the over-pour out of the masu rather than wiping it up with a bar towel). More formal saké service uses lacquerware, porcelain cups, or ceremonial vessels.Saké set with masu boxServing saké can be less formal, especially today as brewers strive to reach international drinkers. White wine glasses are often used because they present saké aromas, and most households are likely to have them on their bar shelves. There are myriad types of saké cups and glasses, many resembling small bowls with wide rims or cups without handles. Like grape wine glasses, the various shapes and sizes are paired with different styles of saké. No one size fits all, but a white wine glass likely will suit your needs until you get heavily into saké appreciation.People often think of saké as a drink served warm. While saké can be served warm, the temperature is a personal decision. Saké can be served warm, room temperature, or chilled. Today, many sakés are served chilled (35-40º F) or at room temperature (60-70º F). Bōken Saké recommends you serve No. 77 either warm or cold—cold for crispness, warm by heating it somewhere between 90º and 110º F to, in Bōken's language, “warm the bones.” In the beginning of your saké adventure, everything will be fine if you sip saké out of the white wine glass already in your cupboard and experiment on temperature.As the rollout of Bōken Saké only began in fall 2024, you may not find it on your neighborhood store's shelves. If you find it on a restaurant list, which was the company's initial target, it is well worth a try. Saké in general is worth a place on your table. In any event, I hope this excursion into “rice wine” gives you a simplified, broad picture of what is going on with rice's contribution in the wine world.Thank you for readingBōken websiteBōken No. 77 Junmai Ginjō SakéLast roundLondon cabbie kept throwing “lion powder” out of the window to keep lions away.Passenger: “But there aren't any lions in London”Cabbie: “And a bloody good thing, too, because the powder don't work.”Wine time.

Episode #1114 Have you ever wondered what you would trade for on the open market? In this episode, Doug Holt and Coach Chris discuss the concept of Sexual Market Value (SMV) and why it is a critical metric for every man, especially those who are married. SMV isn't just about physical looks it's a combination of self-confidence, grounded masculinity, and the respect you have for yourself. Many men in their 40s find themselves in "sexless marriages," having traded their edge for comfort and routine. Doug and Chris break down how to reverse this trend by implementing daily routines like the Alpha Rise and Shine, seeking honest feedback from a brotherhood of men, and prioritizing purpose over all else. They challenge you to be raw and honest about where you rank on a scale of 1 to 10 and provide actionable steps to move that needle today. It's time to stop letting yourself go and start showing up as the man your wife admires and your business requires. Learn how small wins in your personal hygiene, fitness, and mindset can lead to a total transformation in your marriage and your life.

Hvordan understøtter man SMV'erne i Danmark og deres værdikæder i at arbejde strategisk med ESG? Det ved professor, programleder og bestyrelsesmedlem Annabeth Aagaard en masse om, for hun er i gang med et treårigt forskningsprojekt, der hjælper SMV'erne i Danmark med den strategiske tilgang, så de kan rapportere på ESG på tværs af deres værdikæde og integrere det i forretningsudviklingen. På den måde kan de fremtidssikre deres virksomhed, vækste og tiltrække nye kunder, samarbejdspartnere og investorer. Lyt med når Annabeth Aagaard uddyber projektet i dagens udgave af Bæredygtig Business. Projektet, der hedder” ESG - fra rapportering til forretning”, er støttet af Industriens Fond med 6 millioner kroner, og det undersøger, hvordan danske værdikæder og SMV-underleverandører arbejder effektivt med ESG-rapportering og ESG-drevet forretningsudvikling. Fem store, danske virksomheder, Siemens, Grundfos, Linak, Kamstrup og Terma, har hver udpeget fem, danske SMV'er, altså 25 i alt, som Annabeth Aagaard har hjulpet med det strategiske ESG-arbejde. Du kan høre om: • Hvordan praktisk forskning virker, når vi taler ESG og bæredygtighed • Hvordan 25 danske SMV-underleverandører har fået hjælp til ESG-rapportering og ESG-drevet forretningsudvikling i individuelle workshops ude i virksomhederne • Hvilke problemer værdikæderne står overfor efter Omnibus • Hvordan bæredygtighed kan skabe værdi for SMV'erne - deres egen virksomhed og for deres kunder (de store virksomheder, de leverer til) • Hvorfor ESG skal strategisk forankres af ledelsen og bestyrelsen, så det bliver prioriteret rigtigt fra start • Hvorfor bestyrelsen også skal uddannes i ESG og bæredygtighed for at kunne træffe informerede til- og fravalg.

AI (kunstig intelligens) er allerede en teknologi med mange myter, frygtet af visse og af andre set som en teknologisk frelser, der kan redde os ud af mange af planetens kriser. Hvad er op og hvad er ned? Det taler jeg om med fremtids- og medieanalytiker Christiane Vejlø, som er en af landets førende eksperter, når det gælder forholdet mellem mennesker og teknologi. I denne udgave af Bæredygtig Business taler vi om frygt, håb, mulige konsekvenser, og om hvad virksomhederne kan bruge AI til. Udover hvad mennesker skal og kan bruge AI til, ser vi også på emnet set fra et virksomhedsperspektiv. Hvordan skal SMV'erne holde sig orienterede om teknologien og hvilke konsekvenser kan AI have set fra et governance-perspektiv. Du kan høre om: • Udfordringer og fordele ved AI for mennesker og for menneskeheden • Hvordan vi skal sikre os, at AI bliver til menneskehedens fordel i stedet for det modsatte • At Europa er bagud på AI-kapløbet, men at det dels skyldes EU's etiske kompas • Hvordan vi klæder folk bedre på til at forstå AI • At Christiane Vejlø mener, det bl.a. handler om at tage ansvar og at vi står ved en skillevej lige nu • At hun mener, at medier og skoler er nogle af dem, der skal tage et større ansvar Nævnt i episoden: • Christiane Vejlø på LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christianevejloe/ • Elektronista: https://elektronista.dk/ • Om begrebet Longievity i en artikel fra Harward Health: https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/longevity-lifestyle-strategies-for-living-a-healthy-long-life • Netcompany og den løsning, de skal til at bygge: https://via.ritzau.dk/pressemeddelelse/14222750/netcompany-far-ansvaret-for-alle-offentlige-udbetalinger?lang=da • Christiane Vejløs nye podcast ”Så må du have held og lykke med det, i hvert fald! https://elektronista.dk/saa-maa-du-have-held-og-lykke-med-det-i-hvertfald/ • The Matrix: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133093/ • Bogen ”Argumenter for mennesker” https://argumenterformennesker.elektronista.dk/ Denne episode er produceret i samarbejde med af e-nettet https://www.e-nettet.dk/ og Finanssektorens Uddannelsescenter https://www.finansudd.dk/nyt-og-inspiration/fokus-i-finans/viden-om-baeredygtighed/ Tips, idéer eller ønsker?

Stefan Molyneux digs into the uneven terrain of modern dating, pointing out how women's rising expectations clash with men's sense of not measuring up. He traces how dating has changed over time, from close-knit pairings in small villages to the more detached, app-driven scene today. Drawing on biology and the effects of endless options, he explains how age and social shifts affect people's worth in the relationship market. Molyneux looks at the hurdles women encounter as these values change, along with the mental toll it takes. He wraps up by encouraging people to talk openly about how social norms, personal goals, and biology all mix in today's dating world.SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Hvis du udelukkende tænker på klimakrisen og dens konsekvenser, så skal du spidse ører og lytte til denne episode af Bæredygtig Business. For biodiversitetskrisen er langt værre og kan få enorme konsekvenser – også for SMV'er i Danmark. Men der er også gode råd at hente til SMV'er i dagens episode hvor jeg har besøg af Bo Øksnebjerg, partner i EY (Ernst & Young). Bo har speciale i bæredygtighed, er uddannet biolog og kan formidle biodiversitetskrisen på en måde, så vi kan forstå det og med gode, konkrete eksempler. En ting er, at biodiversitetskrisen påvirker mennesker og vores dagligdag – men det kommer i den grad også til at påvirke virksomhederne – også SMV'erne i Danmark. Så hvad kan de gøre for at gøre noget ved problemet? Bo Øksnebjergs anbefalinger til virksomhederne er, at de skal få styr på deres aftryk, kigge på deres råvarer, forstå hvordan forskellige scenarier kan se ud for fremtiden, og tænke over hvad der kan ske, hvis politikerne gør x-y-z. ”Det vil give virksomhederne et bedre overblik over, hvordan tingene spiller sammen og således tage mere oplyste beslutninger”, siger han. Hør mere i dagens episode, hvor vi også taler om: • At eksperterne længe har advaret om, hvad der er ved at ske og hvor hurtigt det går • At de har kunnet forudse, hvad der kommer til at ske på klimaområdet, men at det er anderledes med biodiversiteten, hvor man ikke kender tipping points • Hvad de største biologiske tipping points er • Hvad virksomheder yderligere kan gøre for at forberede sig og få en forretningsmæssig fordel ud af at være på forkant Nævnt i episoden: • Shifting Baseline Syndrome: https://earth.org/shifting-baseline-syndrome/ • Tencel: https://www.tencel.com/fibers/what-is-tencel • Lyocel: https://danishfairfashion.dk/baeredygtige-materialer/lyocell-hvad-er-det-og-hvorfor-er-det-bedre/ • Swiss Re og deres risk tool, hvor man kan se hvordan forsikringspræmierne udvikler sig i hele verden: https://www.swissre.com/institute/research/topics-and-risk-dialogues/climate-and-natural-catastrophe-risk/expertise-publication-biodiversity-and-ecosystems-services.html#/ Denne episode er produceret i samarbejde med e-nettet www.e-nettet.dk/ og Finanssektorens Uddannelsescenter https://www.finansudd.dk/nyt-og-inspiration/fokus-i-finans/viden-om-baeredygtighed/ Tips, idéer eller ønsker?

I denne episode har jeg besøg af Tue Mantoni, som deler sine vigtigste erfaringer fra både topledelse og bestyrelsesarbejde. Vi taler om overgangen fra CEO-rollen til bestyrelseslokalet, og hvordan hans karriere har formet synet på, hvad en bestyrelse egentlig skal kunne.Samtalen tager udgangspunkt i hans bog Bestyrelseseffekten, hvor vi gennemgår, hvad der kendetegner en aktiv og værdiskabende bestyrelse i en SMV, hvordan man sammensætter den rigtige gruppe, og hvornår et advisory board ikke længere er nok. Tue peger også på de værktøjer, der hurtigst skabereffekt, og deler eksempler, hvor bestyrelsesarbejdet har gjort en afgørende forskel. Følg os på LinkedIn:André: www.linkedin.com/in/andréthormann/ Intromusik:Deadly Roulette by Kevin MacLeodLink:https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3625-deadly-rouletteLicense:http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Når jeg siger ”design” tænker du formentlig på møbler, tøj eller indretning. Men man kan også designe processer, services, systemer og forretningsmodeller, og derfor spiller design en betydelig rolle, når det handler om cirkulær økonomi og bæredygtighed. Det ved Julie Hjort, som er vicedirektør i Dansk Design Center (DDC), en masse om, og derfor har jeg inviteret Julie ind i den varme stol i Bæredygtig Business. Dansk Design Center er Danmarks nationale center for design, og her arbejder de med at fremme brugen af design, især hos SMV'erne, så disse kan bruge design til at drive den bæredygtige omstilling og skabe konkurrencekraft. En undersøgelse fra DDC viser nemlig, at 9 ud af 10 danske virksomheder, der bruger design, også kan se, hvordan det hjælper dem til at skabe konkurrencekraft. Du kan også høre om: • Hvorfor det er en stor fordel at tænke over designet fra starten • At vi skal have et kæmpe ”skift”, så virksomheder og organisationer designer efter forlænget levetid og ikke det modsatte (at produkterne går i stykker efter en vis tid) • Emotionel holdbarhed og cirkulær adfærd • Om betydningen af, at give brugeren en opfattelse af, at vedkommende har truffet den rigtige beslutning (for planeten) ved et produktvalg. • At vi skal væk fra narrativet om alt det vi ikke må, på grund af klimaet, til hvordan det gode, fede liv er, samtidig med at vi passer på klimaet. • Og at vi godt kan omprogrammere den fortælling Nævnt i episoden: • Dansk Design Center: https://ddc.dk/ • Undersøgelsen ”Design Delivers” https://www.danskindustri.dk/globalassets/politik-og-analyser/designpolitik/2022-design-delivers-green.pdf?v=250730 • Thinking Fast and Slow (Kahneman) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinking,_Fast_and_Slow • Stykka: https://www.stykka.com/ • Bogen ”Navigating Societal Change through Design”, som Julie Hjort har skrevet sammen med Sara Gry Striegler: https://www.ebooks.com/en-us/book/345988763/navigating-societal-change-through-design/sara-gry-striegler/?srsltid=AfmBOopPCg2qCPxIiJBG43yDS-58E36KB_ohVi--1f2ULVpZOuYrAuW0 Tips, idéer eller ønsker?

Over 90 % af danske virksomheder er små, men netop derfor er de attraktive mål for cyberangreb. Alligevel har 40 % af SMV'erne stadig ikke cybersikkerhed på radaren og mange ved ikke, hvor de skal starte. I dette afsnit ser vi nærmere på, hvordan selv mindre virksomheder kan blive ramt – og hvad de kan gøre for at beskytte sig. Vi taler bl.a. om: · At små og mellemstore virksomheder er blevet et mål for cyberangreb · Eksempler på angreb mod kritisk infrastruktur i Danmark · Hvorfor cybersikkerhed skal tænkes ind fra starten ( og ikke efterfølgende) · Datasuverænitet: Hvad betyder det, hvordan opnår man det og er der evt. konsekvenser? · Forskellige sikkerhedsmodeller: Cloud, hybrid og on-premise · Basale ting som passwords og netværk stadig er de største svagheder · Managed services kan hjælpe virksomheder uden egen IT-afdeling

Vandet kommer. Tørken kommer. Men hvornår og hvor? Dagens episode handler om hvad klimaet byder os i fremtiden, og hvordan vi bedst håndterer det. Jeg taler om fremtidens klimascenarier med seniorforsker og forfatter Hans Sanderson fra Institut for Miljøvidenskab på Aarhus Universitet. Samtalen fokuserer også på konsekvenserne - for de er store og især for de virksomheder, der ikke kan eller vil vende fremtidens risici til muligheder. Hans Sanderson har omfattende erfaring inden for klimatilpasning samt håndtering af klimarisici, og har rådgivet virksomheder og internationale organisationer om disse temaer i mange år. Episoden handler om hvad der er på vej baseret på hvad videnskaben fortæller os. Du kan høre om: • At klimaforandringerne er den største trussel for folkesundheden på planeten i dag ifølge Verdenssundhedsorganisationen (WHO) – et problem, der kun vil stige. • Forskellen på fysiske risici og de såkaldte omstillingsrisici (transitional risks) • Hvorfor klimaforandringerne både kan være en trussel mod SMV'erne men også en fordel, hvis de formår at håndtere dem rigtigt • Hvordan virksomheder, der ikke formår at vende risici til muligheder, vil blive straffet af deres kunder, af deres bank og af deres investorer • Hvorfor virksomhederne skal vide hvad det koster dem i CO2 at tjene en krone Nævnt i episoden: • DTU-rapport for KL og Klimaalliancen om fremtidens stormfloder i Danmark: Stormfloder kan koste Danmark over 200 milliarder kroner – ny rapport kalder på akut handling • Rapport fra EU's Miljøagentur om klimascenarier: Executive summary - European Climate Risk Assessment.pdf • EU's klimaservice (climate services): https://climate-adapt.eea.europa.eu/en/knowledge/adaptation-information/climate-services/ • Deloittes undersøgelse om CSRD-rapportering blandt danske C25 virksomheder: https://media.licdn.com/dms/document/media/v2/D4D1FAQGxwwPQjNeJXA/feedshare-document-pdf-analyzed/B4DZZs4ma.GgAY-/0/1745583516100?e=1747267200&v=beta&t=BdXZl4nVWdsjdoprKRjP4JpUG5tYnMPxggtg8eGMzZ4 • GHG-protokollen: https://lex.dk/GHG-protokollen • Miljømæssige tipping point Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) https://www.planetaryhealthcheck.org/tipping-points Tips, idéer eller ønsker?

Tidligere direktør i Finanstilsynet og adjungeret professor på CBS, Jesper Berg, er gæst i dagens episode af Rig på viden. Vi taler om de bæredygtighedskrav der kommer til at påvirke SMV virksomhederne og hvad det kommer til at betyde.Følg os på LinkedIn:André: www.linkedin.com/in/andréthormann/Rig på viden: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rig-paa-viden/?viewAsMember=trueIntro musik:Deadly Roulette by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3625-deadly-rouletteLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Quiet women in relationships can be one of the biggest mind games men face—but not for the reason you think. If she's not talking much, it doesn't mean she's disconnected. It could be a sign of deep trust… or subtle retreat. In this stream, we'll unpack the hidden meaning behind feminine silence, what your SMV has to do with her quietness, and how to lead without chasing validation. Discover why stillness—not words—is your greatest tool.

Episode #962 When's the last time your wife gave you that look—the one that says, “I want you”? If it's been a minute, you're not alone. A lot of married guys find themselves in that same spot… and yeah, it probably means your Sexual Market Value (SMV) isn't where it used to be. In this episode, Coach Chris and I unpack what SMV actually means for men in long-term relationships. And no, it's not just about being in shape or dressing sharp. It's about the way you carry yourself, how much self-respect you have, and whether you're still showing up like the man she was once drawn to. We also get into the difference between real confidence and just going through the motions. A lot of men don't even realize how far they've drifted until they either catch a glimpse in the mirror—or hear some hard truth from another man. If you've been thinking, “I'm doing everything I should… so why does she seem checked out?”—this conversation might hit close to home. You'll hear how to start rebuilding that quiet, steady confidence that naturally draws people in—especially your wife. We're not talking gimmicks or trying to be someone you're not. Just simple, real-world actions that help you feel solid in your own skin again. And it all starts with self-respect—not chasing approval. So if you've been feeling kind of invisible at home, and you're ready to start leading with presence and purpose again—yeah, this one's for you. __________ Hungry for more?

Send us a textWhat we see on TikTok often starts on message boards in fringe groups then spills over into the mainstream. This is true of the Looksmaxxing social media trend that's been gaining more and more currency among teen boys. The goal of looksmaxxing is to meet a set of criteria for physical attractiveness, with a focus on the eyes, jawline, and physique and the ultimate currency is SMV, or Sexual Market Value. There are some really positive elements to the trend, but its originated in incel groups so there can be a dark underbelly that it's worth us parents knowing about, as Mike Nicholson https://www.progressivemasculinity.co.uk/is well aware. SOME KEY INFLUENCERS:Kareem Shami - syrianpsychoDillon LathamNETFLIX DOCUMENTARY:Open Wide PODCAST: LOOKSMAXXING for the modern male (attitude, skin & hair routine, clothes, mewing, jawsize)APPS MENTIONED:UMAXLOOSKMAX AIMEWING: The Mews are a father and son team of orthodontists from the UK who began to market their techniques on YouTube. The basic principles of mewing include:Tongue Position: Keeping the tongue flat against the roof of the mouth, rather than letting it rest on the bottom of the mouth.Posture: Maintaining good overall posture, which is thought to support proper oral and facial alignment.Breathing: Encouraging nasal breathing rather than mouth breathing, which can affect facial structure over time.When to seek help: from medical news todayYour son is...spending prolonged periods of time or repeatedly checking appearance in the mirrorfeelings of dissatisfaction or distress toward aspects of appearance that may interfere with everyday lifespending prolonged periods of time worrying about or thinking negative thoughts about appearancepersistent feelings of hopelessness, guilt, worthlessness, anxiety, sadness, or shamebecoming irritable more easilyfeeling tired or low in energydifficulty getting to sleep, staying asleep, or sleeping too muchfeeling restless and having difficulty concentratinghaving thoughts about death or suicidehttps://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/feb/15/from-bone-smashing-to-chin-extensions-how-looksmaxxing-is-reshaping-young-mens-faceshttps://fortune.com/2024/07/01/looksmaxxing-apps-rate-teen-boys-faces-mental-health/https:Support the showThank you so much for your support.

Eat when you can, sleep when you can, and don't F with the pancreas!  What happens when that third rule goes wrong, and why do people say pancreas injuries are like eating crawfish?  Whether you love the pancreas or just the mention of the P-word strikes fear in your heart, or if you just want the answer to the aforementioned questions, join Drs. Cobler-Lichter, Kwon, and Meizoso, as they guide you through all this and more!  Hosts: - Michael Cobler-Lichter, MD, PGY3, University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital/Ryder Trauma Center, @mdcobler (twitter) - Eugenia Kwon, MD, Trauma/Surgical Critical Care Fellow, University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital/Ryder Trauma Center -Jonathan Meizoso, MD, MSPH Assistant Professor of Surgery, 4 years in practice, University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital/Ryder Trauma Center, @jpmeizoso (twitter) Learning Objectives: - Describe the AAST grading system for pancreatic injuries - Come up with a treatment plan for each grade of pancreatic injury - Identify commonly associated injuries with pancreatic trauma -  List potential complications of pancreatic trauma and/or surgery Quick Hits: 1. Pancreas injuries do not all require a trip to the operating room. Low grade injuries should be managed with a trial of nonoperative management if there are no other operative indications 2. CT is the best initial imaging modality, although it has low sensitivity. If there is high concern for a pancreas injury based on mechanism or associated injuries, further investigation is required. 3. Pancreas injuries are like crawfish: suck the head and eat the tail. 4. Injuries to the left of the SMV can generally be treated with distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy, whereas injuries to the right of the SMV are usually drained. 5. Its important to identify and address any concomitant injuries, with duodenal injuries being the most common in higher grade injuries. 6. In the case of the dreaded grade 5 injury, the safe answer is to come back and do your reconstruction at a later time.

The reasons to attend would be to see old acquaintances and to present the improved version of myself since my days as a poor student. Thus attending the reunion could be an opportunity to show off my increased smv and to observe human nature. It might be interesting to see which people maintained or improved themselves and those that declined, if at all. There is also the point that it might be a good networking exercise in the sense of obtaining contacts of people with whom I may be able to partner with on business ventures in the future, especially as I deleted my social media accounts years ago. Conversely, the reasons not to attend might be that the networking opportunity could be overrated. Even if I exchanged phone numbers or emails with some people, nothing may come of it in terms of the partnering on meaningful project or ventures. Furthermore, there may be some dangers in showing off an increased SMV. It could attract jealousy from some, especially females, who could find ways to create problems by trying to get together with me. Or they might try undermining one's self-confidence by critiquing one's chosen career path and accomplishments, or lack thereof. It might indeed be fun, there are no doubt some risks associated with such an event and one of the things I have learned from female behaviour is the value of being proactive or going on the offensive to attack a point first before it can be used against you. While I already booked an Airbnb whose total post-tax cost is for half the pre-tax cost of one night at the suggested reunion hotel, perhaps it would be better to spend that the money traveling elsewhere and interesting for reasons other than exams and studying. Or perhaps even spend it on a professional to avoid the inevitable sirens' song to simp and peacock simply to get some “p” for my c. After all, returning to campus could trigger feelings of Post Traumatic Thot Disorder. Overall I doubt I would miss much if I abstain from the reunion. Please share your thoughts on this lengthy, girth-y cock-benefit analysis. Thank you. Well Kam thanks for the donation and topic. I found it funny you thinking that just because you got better looking that women from your past would now treat you better. They will still see you the way that they did back in the day and pretty much treat you the same way. There's that cheesy line that states you never get a second chance to make a first impression. It's wisdom from an ancient Head and Shoulders shampoo commercial. Even if that impression was ten to fifteen years ago. Once a creep in their eyes, always a creep. If you're still in that phase of your red pilling journey where it's fun to observe human behavior then that would be good to experience. But for me I don't hear words anymore. When women speak all I hear is the desired outcome or emotion they want in others. When someone tries to shame me all I hear is the word shame, if someone is gaslighting me that's all I hear. All of those complex Words and sentence structure have become nothing more than a representation of people's motives. If a client calls me to chit chat then she's trying to use me as an emotional tampon. I look at 99% of interactions with people as being all about what I can do for them. Kam you want to show your increased SMV so that you receive validation from women that are also at the reunion for the same thing. Maybe they want to show off their husband, career, kids, whatever. So they can make the other women with less feel insecure. Of course no woman that does lonely fans would reveal that fact at a college reunion. But you know that some of the women that graduated with you probably did that. But seriously you're fishing for compliments if you go and so are they.

You get called to see a consult in the middle of the night. It is a middle-aged woman with a bariatric history, and she says her stomach is smaller but doesn't know the name of the operation. She developed worsening abdominal pain after dinner and it's been getting worse. She's not peritonitic, but she's clearly in discomfort. Is it cholecystitis, diverticulitis, pancreatitis, marginal ulcer, or an internal hernia? What do you do? Join Drs. Matthew Martin, Adrian Dan, and Paul Wisniowski on a discussion about initial evaluation and management of bariatric patients with internal hernias.  Show Hosts: Matthew Martin Adrian Dan Paul Wisniowski Show Notes 1.     Initial Evaluation a.     Focused history and physical, labs, and imaging                                       i.     Presenting symptoms may vary and include: nausea, emesis, and abdominal pain ranging from vague to severe.                                        ii.     A basic lab panel can aid in developing the diagnosis and guide resuscitation.                                     iii.     CT of the abdomen and pelvis with IV and oral contrast can assist in identifying intra-abdominal pathology                                     iv.     Reviewing the previous operative report is beneficial to have a framework of the anatomy, i.e. type of bariatric surgery, and configuration of small bowel limbs (ante- vs retro-gastric and ante- vs retro-colic). 1.     According to a 2019 study, 40-60% of closed defects had reopened at time of re-exploration                                       v.     If the patient is peritonitic with abdominal pain, they should be treated similarly to any patient with an acute abdomen with emergent exploration. b.     CT Imaging                                        i.     A mesenteric swirl sign with twisting of the soft tissue and mesenteric vessels with surrounding fat attenuation has been shown to have a sensitivity of 78-100% and specificity of 80-90%. Other findings include: a Bird's beak, dilation of roux or biliopancreatic limbs, SMV narrowing, and displacement of JJ limb to the RUQ and can be used to support the diagnosis of internal hernia                                      ii.     An experienced radiologist familiar with bariatric anatomy has been shown to have a positive predictive value to 81% and negative predictive value to 96% at radiologically diagnosing internal hernia.                                      iii.     A CT scan can provide insight for a suspected diagnosis but it cannot rule out internal hernia c.      Nasogastric/Esophageal Tube                                       i.     Use judiciously based on patient's presenting symptoms                                      ii.     Placement should be done by the surgical team                                      iii.     This may mitigate the risk of aspiration during intubation. 2.     Operative Management a.     Entry should be dependent on the comfort of the operating surgeon.                                        i.     Veress entry into the abdomen with dilated bowels may lead to increased injuries.                                       ii.     Optiview allows for direct visualization of each layer of the abdominal wall. Focusing on twisting the trochar and limiting perpendicular pressure.                                      iii.     Hasson entry also allows for direct visualization but may be limiting in bariatric patients with thick abdominal walls b.     Exploration – a systematic approach                                       i.     Start with evaluation of the gastric pouch and run the roux limb to the jejunojejunostomy, and examine Petersen's and mesojejunal defects.                                       ii.     Follow the biliopancreatic limb to the ligament of Treitz                                     iii.     Lastly, identify the terminal ileum at the sail of Treves and run backwards to the jejunojejunostomy                                     iv.     This will allow for examination of all possible defect and possible intussusception at the jejunostomy c.      Defect Management                                       i.     All defects should be closed, with studies demonstrating reduced rates of internal hernia when defects are closed with a running suture. There is no strong evidence to support the use of a specific suture material. 1.     The use of suture is superior to other methods of closure such as metallic clips, fibrin glue, mesh, or abrasive pads. 2.     A barbed suture can be considered. d.     In a patient with unfavorable anatomy or those unable to tolerate pneumoperitoneum surgeons should consider early conversion to open exploration  3.     Postoperative Care a.     Patients are started on ERAS protocol with limited narcotic use, same day mobilization, early oral nutrition with advancement, and no nasogastric tubes or foley catheters b.     Patients with bowel resection and those with suspected postoperative ileus may benefit from judicious advancement of diet. 4.     Pregnancy a.     Pregnant patients with history of anastomotic bariatric surgery are at increased risk of internal hernia especially in 3rd trimester due to loss of intra-abdominal space b.     Evaluation of a pregnant patient should include abdominal imaging.                                        i.     In a non-acute setting, an MRI abd/pelvis can be considered.                                       ii.     Patients with abdominal pain presenting to the Emergency Department should undergo CT imaging.                                     iii.     The risk of radiation to a fetus, especially beyond the 1st trimester, is limited. Based on the CDC guidelines, a human embryo and fetus are sensitive to ionizing radiation at doses greater than 0.1Gray. The amount of radiation from a typical CT range from 0.015 to 0.034Gray depending if it is multiphasic or not; well below the guideline level. c.      It is important to discuss with women of child bearing age the risk of internal hernia during pregnancy with anastomotic bariatric surgery 5.     Outpatient Presentation a.     Half of patients with internal hernia will present in outpatient setting often >6 months after initial operation with complaints of intermittent nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain b.     Workup includes: CT abd/pelvis with IV and oral contrast, Upper GI series, EGD, and a RUQ ultrasound based on their symptoms c.      If diagnostic testing is equivocal, proceed with diagnostic laparoscopy to mitigate the risk of internal hernia with bowel ischemia. **Introducing Behind the Knife's Trauma Surgery Video Atlas - https://app.behindtheknife.org/premium/trauma-surgery-video-atlas/show-content The Trauma Surgery Video Atlas contains 24 scenarios that include never-before-seen high-definition operative footage, rich, original illustrations, and practical, easy-to-read pearls that will help you dominate the most difficult trauma scenarios.

SMV-regeringen kan fejre 1-års fødselsdag i en paradoksal tilstand: På den ene side viser tirsdagens Økonomisk Redegørelse, at dansk økonomi har klaret sig strålende siden regeringsdannelsen i december 2022. Nøgletallene sprudler. Og på den anden side er vælgerne samlet set flygtet fra de tre regeringspartier. På Christiansborg er regeringstoppen også under massiv beskydning, og kritiseres for at være magtarrogant og hoven. Men SVM-regeringen lykkes ikke desto mindre med at trumfe sin vilje igennem, og tilmed med brede flertal. Næste store aftale er skattereformen, der ventes landet lige inden jul.

In the current dating landscape with Instagram and dating apps being so prevalent, women are spoiled for choice when it comes to men. They have access to near-infinite attention and compliments from guys, which leads many women who develop a grossly inflated idea of how attractive they really are. This is dangerous for you as a man because if you buy into their perceptions and believe these women are out of your league, it's going make you convey a lack of confidence, lose frame and ultimately make her unattracted to you. Gentlemen, it's time for a tough talk about just how attractive these girls really are so you can stop putting them on a pedestal and realize that YOU are the prize.

If you aren't getting good reaction from girls even though you're doing everything right when approaching them.. Or girls are coming out on dates but not going home with you. They disappear an never come out on 2nd dates. There are two reasons this could be happening - your game isn't as good as you think. Or their SMV is terrible.

Oktober er cybersikkerhedsmåned, og netop i uge 41 ser vi også en række rapporter blive offentliggjort, inden efterårsferien sætter ind. Det sætter rammen for episode 184, hvor Jeppe og Adam dykker ned i to særligt interessante rapporter: Digitaliseringsstyrelsens nyeste statusrapport om IT-sikkerheden hos danske SMV'er samt Dansk Industri's anbefalinger til en fremtid præget af kunstig intelligens (AI). Samtalen spænder bredt og berører emner som grundlæggende sikkerhedstips, gentagende diskussioner om passwords, det stigende behov for IT-specialister, fordele og udfordringer ved outsourcing, konceptet om nationale sandkasser til innovation, vigtigheden af IT-lærlinge, potentialet i åbne data og udfordringerne ved GDPR. Overraskende nok er dataetik ikke så fremtrædende i denne diskussion som man måske skulle tro.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Women and Effective Altruism, published by Keerthana Gopalakrishnan on November 12, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. A lot has been talked about SBF/FTX/EA but this coverage reminds me that is time to talk about the toxicity of the culture within EA communities, especially as it relates to women. EA circles, much like the group house in Bahamas, are widely incestous where people mix their work life (in EA cause areas), their often polyamorous love life and social life in one amalgomous mix without strict separations. This is the default status quo. This means that if you're a reasonably attractive woman entering an EA community, you get a ton of sexual requests to join polycules, often from poly and partnered men. Some of these men control funding for projects and enjoy high status in EA communities and that means there are real downsides to refusing their sexual advances and pressure to say yes, especially if your career is in an EA cause area or is funded by them. There are also upsides, as reported by CoinDesk on Caroline Ellison. From experience it appears that, a ‘no' once said is not enough for many men in EA. Having to keep replenishing that ‘no' becomes annoying very fast, and becomes harder to give informed consent when socializing in the presence of alcohol/psychedelics. It puts your safety at risk. From experience, EA as a community, has very little respect for monogamy and many men, often competing with each other, will persuade you to join polyamory using LessWrong style jedi mindtricks while they stand to benefit from the erosion of your boundaries. (Edit: I have personally experienced this more than three times in less than one year of attending EA events and that is far too many times. ) So how do these men maintain polycules and find sexual novelty? EA meet ups of course. Several EA communities are grounds for predatory men in search of their nth polycule partner and to fill their “dancecards”. I have seen this in NYC EA circles, I have seen this in SF. I decided to stop socializing in EA circles a couple months ago due to this toxicity, the benefits are not worth the uncovered downside risk. I also am lucky enough to not work for an EA aligned organization / cause area and socially diversified enough to take that hit. The power enjoyed by men who are predatory, the rate of occurrence and a lack of visible push back equals to a tacit and somewhat widespread backing for this behaviour. My experience resonates with a few other women in SF I have spoken to. They have also met red pilled, exploitative men in EA/rationalist circles. EA/rationalism and redpill fit like yin and yang. Akin to how EA is an optimization of altruism with “suboptimal” human tendencies like morality and empathy stripped from it, red pill is an optimized sexual strategy with the humanity of women stripped from it. You'll also, surprisingly, encounter many women who are redpilled and manifest internalized misogyny in EA. How to check if you're one: if terms like SMV, hypergamy etc are part of your everyday vocabulary and thought processes, you might be affected. You'll also encounter many women who are unhappy participants in polygamous relationships; some of them really smart women who agree to be unhappy (dump him, sis). And if you're a lucky woman who hasn't experienced this in EA, great, and your experience does not need to negate those of others. Despite this culture, EA as a philosophy has a lot of good in it and they should fix this bug with some introspection. Now mind you, this is not a criticism of polyamory itself. If polyamorous love happens between consenting adults without favoritism in professional settings, all is well and good. But EA is an organization and community focused on a mission of altruism, enjoy huge swathes of donor money and exert socio-political ...

B. Cox is joined by NaturallyAlise and JR of the R&B Representers to review SWV's debut classic album It's About Time as it turns 30. The crew is also joined with a very special guest appearance by Brian Alexander Morgan, one of the album's principal producers and co-writers.As R&B continued its evolution in the early 90s, the trio from NYC burst onto the scene with a jam packed album of hits and a long list of singles that would keep their album in the public consciousness for years until their next effort. Formed by Cheryl "Coko" Gamble, Tamara "Taj" George (nee Johnson) and Leanne "LeeLee" Lyons, the group started in gospel, but soon transitioned to R&B.The majority of the album was primarily produced and co-written by singer and producer Morgan.

Episode 111. What do you get when extreme sake goes mainstream? Chances are, you're looking at a popular style known as Super Dry sake.  Referred to as "cho-karakuchi" in Japanese, these boozy, ultra-dry sakes pull a full 180 to the super sweet dessert sakes we've tasted before.  Prepare yourself for a sake that puts the alcohol aromas, flavors and finish front and center.  The bracing texture of this sake style really wakes you up and might be just the right fit if a dry martini is your favorite cocktail.  Super Dry sakes styles are popular with a fair amount of mainstream appeal but might they lack balance?  This week John and Timothy explore to see what puts the super in super dry sake. #SakeRevolutionSupport the show
