Bienvenue sur la Radio Circulab (ex Activer l'Economie Circulaire) Cette semaine, Justine vous partage le parcours d'Elisabeth et Nicolas Soubelet, un couple franco-américain qui a décidé de faire de l'impact positif leur moteur de vie et d'entreprise. Après des carrières variées – l'un ingénieur dans l'automobile, l'autre sage-femme – et une expérience de vie en Turquie qui a bouleversé leur rapport à la consommation et aux déchets, ils se sont lancés dans l'aventure entrepreneuriale il y a 12 ans avec Ma Bonne Étoile !Leur mission ? Aider les familles à réduire leurs déchets simplement à la maison. Tout a commencé avec un constat face aux poubelles familiales, débordantes de gourdes de compote à usage unique. Ils ont alors eu l'idée de créer la gourde à compote réemployable Squiz, un produit pratique conçu pour être ouvert, rempli, lavé et réutilisé encore et encore. Ils insistent sur le concept de réemploi, où le produit est pensé dès le départ pour un usage répété, privilégiant une production locale et des matériaux durables autant que possible.Au-delà de la gourde Squiz, qui s'est vendue à plus de 2 millions d'exemplaires et est restée leur produit phare pendant 8 ans, l'aventure s'est enrichie avec le développement de nouveaux contenants et accessoires bébé sous la marque Squiz, et la création de la marque FillGood pour des produits zéro déchet comme des lunchbox et gourdes en verre fabriquées en France, ainsi que des sacs à vrac.Ont-ils rencontré des embûches ? Oui naturellement !Pourquoi et comment ont-ils repensé leur modèle et même réduit la voilure ? Pourquoi et comment se sont-ils diversifiés, notamment vers le marché B2B des cadeaux d'entreprise et objets promotionnels ?Quelle est leur stratégie de communication unique pour convaincre les consommateurs ?Quel est le vrai problème entre l'usage unique et le matériau ?Parallèlement, ils ont développé une seconde activité avec 5 Étoiles Consulting, où ils agissent comme mentors, partageant leur expérience d'entrepreneurs à impact pour aider d'autres structures, notamment celles de l'Économie Sociale et Solidaire (ESS), à devenir plus responsables et respectueuses.Cet épisode est bien plus qu'un simple récit d'entreprise. Il est riche en apprentissages pratiques, en réflexions profondes sur l'économie circulaire et l'impact, et en moments d'émotion sincère...Pour aller plus loin : Baladez-vous sur notre site internet (tout neuf) ; Téléchargez nos outils sur la Circulab Academy ; Inscrivez-vous à notre newsletter ; Envoyez-nous vos retours ou suggestions sur Linkedin : Justine Laurent et Brieuc Saffré.

Product Management is not about frameworks. Yes, using some frameworks that fit well in your situation can save us a lot of time by organizing our thoughts and allowing us to collaborate better.And before there were frameworks, there were mindsets.In this episode we are talking about a couple of mindset that help product managers and anyone who is building products to align better with the chaotic nature of our work.Our guest on the show is Assaph Mehr, a product and people leader. He is currently a Senior Product Manager of AI at Squiz, a Product Management Advisor & Mentor at My Mentor Path, a thought provoking blogger, and an author (or several ward-winning stories of Togas, Daggers, and Magic series - for lovers of Dark Urban-Fantasy Detectives and Ancient Rome!).On the episode, Assaph shared with us two of those mindsets - VUCA and Cynefin, and how they relate to our jobs as product people.Join Matt and Moshe as they explore with Assaph:How he got to product managementHis experience building AI products, and some of the challenges they raiseWhat are these two mindsets all about (and how to pronounce Cynefin!)How to understand, and harness Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity (VUCA)The balance between all of these, and how each of our domains can have a different mixIs it possible to quantify things like uncertainty or complexity?How he defines strategyThe 5 domains of Cynefin, and the importance of fitting our problem to the right domainCan Product Managers impact their orgs to think in these ways?Can product job seekers test organizational fit by probing to see if they have the right mindset?And so much more…You can connect with Assaph at:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/assaph/ Blog: https://assaph.substack.comBlog post about Cynefin and VUCA: https://assaph.substack.com/p/cynefin-and-vuca * You can find the podcast's page, and connect with Matt and Moshe on Linkedin:Product for Product Podcast - linkedin.com/company/product-for-product-podcastMatt Green - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattgreenproduct/Moshe Mikanovsky - linkedin.com/in/mikanovsky/ Note: any views mentioned in the podcast are the sole views of our hosts and guests, and do not represent the products mentioned in any way.Please leave us a review and feedback ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In this Squiz Shortcut, we'll look at why Australia is shutting down its 3G phone network in the coming months. That's something that's set to be a problem for the estimated half a million people who are still using phones and other devices that rely on 3G, particularly in regional areas. It's an issue that's been put on hold, but as we get closer to the deadline the phone is ringing. So in this Squiz Shortcut, we talk about why 3G is being retired, how that's going to happen, and how it will affect Aussie phone customers. Squiz recommends: Reading: The 3G closure fact sheet on the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association's website. It has all the information people need about why the 3G shutdown is happening and instructions about how to check if their phones/devices will be affected. Recycling: If you do take the opportunity to get a new phone, the government is directing people to recycle their old 3G ones through MobileMuster, the Australian mobile industry's official recycling scheme, which has drop-off points in every suburb and also in regional areas. Help: Check whether your phone will be affected by the 3G shutdown using a handy text service launched by both Telstra and Optus - just text "3" to the number 3498. This will send a reply back straight away telling you whether your phone is compatible with 4G and whether you need to take any action. Want the email version?

In this Squiz Shortcut, we'll look at why college students are protesting about the Gaza war at campuses across the United States. They've made headlines over the past month because some of the demonstrations have turned violent, sparking debates over free speech and even forcing the White House to weigh in. They've also spread to Aussie universities, where students have set up camps, and tensions are running high. So we'll look at what they're trying to achieve and their likely impact - if any. Squiz recommends: Reading: This explainer from The Guardian discusses what's been happening at university campuses in Australia. Listening: This episode of The Daily podcast from The New York Times gives a good account of the US protests, particularly on the night of the UCLA arrests, and what impact the activism could have on Joe Biden's bid to retain the Presidency.

In this Shortcut, we're talking about nuclear power—which has been back in the news lately, with the Coalition announcing it wants it to be part of Australia's energy mix. It's far from a new idea, and while many countries have embraced it to generate their power cleanly and cheaply, Australia is still debating it. So we'll look at what nuclear power is, how it could work in Australia, and whether it could be a realistic solution for our energy needs. Squiz recommends: Reading: This article from The Conversation and the ABC provides some historical context for the Coalition's nuclear policy and explains why it's unusual for Dutton. Listening: The Could Australia Go Nuclear? episode from The Guardian's Full Story podcast, which gives a good idea of the numbers and the time needed to go nuclear. Watching: Chernobyl on Binge is a great series from a few years ago that explains how that disaster unfolded. Or, of course, Oppenheimer on Netflix if you haven't seen it yet. Want the email version?
