Today's session is all about rebranding. We are taking a behind-the-scenes look at how different circumstances might affect the business you've established and force you to rebrand. Should you view this kind of pivot as a failure? Absolutely not! Let's explore this topic together.Our Featured GuestKevon CheungKevon Cheung is the founder and head teacher at Small School. He was a previous guest on the podcast several years ago, and I've taken his Build in Public Mastery Course to help overcome my fears about posting on social media.

UK PROPERTY MARKET WEEKLY UPDATE — Week 28, 2025 Welcome to the 28th UK Property Market Stats Show of 2025 — your go-to weekly YouTube ‘TV Show' on the UK property market. This week, I'm joined by Alice Bullard, boss lady of Nested, as we unpack the key headlines from the 28th week of 2025, ending Saturday 20th July 2025 ▶️ Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/_THPOlLtKaE 


Starrag provides a full range of manufacturing solutions, utilising its own in-house components as well as specialised tools. The high-quality Starrag machines developed and manufactured in Rorschacherberg, Switzerland, are impressive. However, the machines represent just one facet of a diverse portfolio that encompasses technology, software, clamping concepts, and carbide tools, which are also manufactured in-house and are often vital to success. Starrag's headquarters in Rorschacherberg specialises in creating high-performance machining centres for aircraft and turbine manufacturing. Nonetheless, the company offers a broader range of solutions. Years of accumulated expertise from various projects is evident in the numerous components developed internally: from carbide tools and RCS CAM software for blades to clamping technology, fixture construction, automation solutions, and host computer technologies. “This ‘full package' sets us apart from other suppliers,” says Sofian Regaz, Starrag Sales Manager for Aerospace & Turbine Technology. “We don't see ourselves purely as a machine manufacturer, but as a solution provider for production processes in the aerospace and turbine sector. This ranges from standalone machines to flexible manufacturing systems, which customers can obtain from us as a one-stop shop.” Gaining a competitive edge from tools tailored to the process Sofian Regaz is primarily responsible for product management and sales of Starrag tools. “Here in Rorschacherberg, we have spent many years developing and grinding carbide milling cutters for aircraft and turbine components made from difficult-to-machine materials such as titanium, Inconel or high-alloy steels.” Though Starrag offers a small range of standard tools, over 90% of the company's tools are custom-made products. These tools are tailored to specific machining processes that fully embrace the component, the machine, the material, and other considerations. “It makes a huge difference whether I adapt my NC program to a catalogue milling cutter or design the tool in terms of the cutting edge length, corner radius, flank angle and coating. This enables us to deliver the optimum machining process. Our customers enjoy great success with this,” says Sofian Regaz. Always available to serve customer needs Starrag sells most of its machines as part of a manufacturing solution for a specific component or component family, so the corresponding specialist tools are usually supplied with them. This incorporates an explanation of why the tools are designed in a particular way and the expertise on which they are based. The Product Manager adds: “The customer needs to know how their tools differ from catalogue tools and the impact these differences have. They also need to understand that the advantages of our tools cannot be found with other suppliers.” This expertise is no coincidence. Starrag maintains a very close, partnership-based relationship with its customers and supports them throughout the production process and beyond the warranty period. “This means that if, for example, a component is due to be changed and the machine needs to be set up for a new process, we are still by our customer's side to offer new customised tools as necessary,” assures Regaz. Starrag has a distinct advantage over traditional tool manufacturers. Tools are both developed and ground at the Rorschacherberg plant, which also houses the Aerospace and Turbine Competence Centre (ATCC). The 2,000m2 centre is equipped with all the latest 5-axis machining centres from the Starrag NB, LX, and STC series. Sofian Regaz explains: “We use these machines for a wide range of our own trials and trials for our customers, as well as for developing and optimising processes and, of course, for our analyses and tool tests. We even take on small series production on behalf of customers.” For the tool team, this means they can reproduce the customer's processes 1:1 on original machines and optimise the tools before delivery. Time and again, customers confirm that this saves numerous transport routes and, in turn, a significant amount of time and money. “If corrections to the tool are still necessary, we can react and adopt changes very quickly because we have our own grinding shop,” says Sofian Regaz. “We achieve incredibly quick response times, sometimes just in half a day.” Tool expertise for better machining results The ATCC is an important meeting place where Starrag technologists, machine operators, automation specialists, tool specialists, and customers come together. Starrag offers comprehensive support in programming the machines, managing processes, and optimising subsequent processes. For the tool team, this is a valuable source of expertise. “This is where we find out how the market is evolving, how materials are changing, what the blanks of the future will look like and what requirements components will have to meet. This allows us to get ahead of the game with our tool developments and offer our customers solutions early on.” Starrag is also well-positioned worldwide in tool servicing. Starrag has partnered with Oerlikon Balzers to save customers time and money by providing on-site regrinding and recoating services for Starrag in America and Asia. This is an important factor for Sofian Regaz: “We offer a similar service in-house as well, but customers can save themselves the long journeys from overseas by using our partner offer.” “Customer feedback on our tools is consistently positive,” mentions Sofian Regaz. He received a special confirmation of success from Honeywell Aerospace Ireland, where Starrag had the chance to work as a tool problem solver. The starting basis was that tool wear was very high when machining a titanium turbine blade. No more than ten components could be machined with the existing milling cutter. That's when the engine manufacturer invited important tool manufacturers to get a handle on the problem. The best supplier managed to increase the service life to 20 components. And Starrag? “Our special tools produce 40 components,” reports Sofian Regaz. “Honeywell considered this worthy of not only a contract, but also an award. In June 2024, we were awarded the ‘Kaizen of the Month' prize.” Success leads to growth The tool business has experienced tremendous growth in recent years. This success is not solely due to stories like the Honeywell contract. The expanded product range has also played a significant role in this. While Starrag used to produce only end mills, torus mills, and conical ball nose mills, today the company also grinds cylindrical and barrel ball nose mills, lollipop mills, barrel cutters, and chamfer milling cutters. Additionally, there is a range of high-feed, plunge, and various form milling cutters that can be applied to turbine blade roots. To generate further growth, Starrag will offer special tools for machining aluminium alongside tools for more challenging materials. Sofian Regaz's team is also strengthening its business development: “Our process expertise in aircraft and turbine construction is so extensive that we can also enjoy great success with our tools on third-party machines. And we are already in talks with other Starrag sites. In the future, we want to utilise their machining centres and their expertise to produce special tools for other industries.”

Patricia Strenius är den mest framgånsrika svenska tyngdlyftaren sedan Starke Arvid (1873-1954). Hon har tagit två EM-guld och ett VM-silver. Hon kan få upp en skivstång med 136 kilo från golvet till spikraka armar.  Isabella von Weissenberg fick på sig landslagskläder ett år efter att hon provade skivstångsträning för första gången. Hon har tagit världsrekord i knäböj åtta gånger och böjt 203 kilo.  Båda personifierar trenden att även styrkeatleter har börjat löpträna, både för att bli bättre lyftare men också för att bli bättre människor. Sedan Hyrox slog igenom ser man allt fler muskelmonster i löparskor. I Isabellas fall hjälpte löpningen henne att ta sig tillbaka till strykelyft efter en lång period av utbrändhet och självtvivel. Patrica tränar mot Stockholm Halvmarathon, utan att offra styrka och spänst.  Hur ska man löpträna om man är superstark? Hur blir man superstark om man mest vill löpträna? Manne fortsätter att stapla 100k-veckor på varandra och har sprungit i Kjell-Erik Ståhls vackra omgivningar.  John är en löpare igen, men också en person som drabbas av mycket svår träningsvärk. För första gången på länge har han behövt be sin far om skjuts från ett avbrutet pass.  Storytel är med som sponsor och i fyra veckor framåt kör vi den springande bokcirkeln och lyssnar på Löparens hjärta av Markus Torgeby.

Our guest today is truly a renaissance man... Mike Smith done a little bit of everything. Tune in to hear all about it. Did you like this episode? We want to hear your thoughts. STC@fredoniahill.org

On our latest podcast, we chat about all the action on the Street between the 2nd and the 6th June 2025 (Episodes #11,585 - 11,590). After 25 years on the cobbles, we say a fond farewell to Eileen Grimshaw this week, who, in typical Corrie fashion, jets off to the other side of the world on bit of a whim. And saying goodbye to his mum isn't the only thing on Todd's mind either Millie's unexpected arrival on their doorstep gets Theo's head in a bit of a spin. Also this week, Tim's in Sally's bad books again after he arranges a secret meeting to investigate fostering, Abi gets very close to giving into temptation and Dylan's released from the STC - and he's got a bone to pick with Brody! Up next on the podcast it's the Kabin, and we reflect on Corrie's poor showing at the Soap Awards a week on from the ceremony, and we finish off the episode with another bumper crop of listener feedback. Street Talk - 00:16:37 The Kabin - 02:26:13 Feedback - 02:40:36

This podcast covers episodes 11,585 to 11,590. Sally is shocked when she catches Tim meeting with a social worker to investigate the possibility of fostering. Carl makes some easy cash from Fiona with his dodgy MOT caper while courting a very keen Tracy. Sean worries about Dylan being released from the STC and running into Brody, but for the wrong reasons. Dee Dee is ready to focus on her work when James returns from the US again. Jason suggests to Eileen that she become his business partner and move to Thailand. Millie reads Middlemarch. Abi's mince needs a sniff. Psst — Kev fainted.

Today's topic is at the heart of the Quiet Builder philosophy. The question is, “How do we design a business that supports our lives, not swallows it?” This becomes increasingly important as the world grows more uncertain and our responsibilities grow daily. This episode is for anyone building a business that fits into real life, and not the other way around.You'll Learn:My pandemic story of stepping back and reassessing my business3 anchors for building a life-first business in an uncertain world:Design for margin, not maximum.Clarity comes from creating margin, not hustling.Designing for margin is how we stay well enough to serve others.Build products that don't require your constant presence.Design for asymmetry, where value isn't tied to one-to-one time.A life-first business scales impact, not just hours.Plan around what you can't plan for.Your business should be designed to absorb disruption, not collapse under it.Strategies that work for me are “Walden months,” a hard growth ceiling on STC, and allowing maximum flexibility to travel when loved ones need extra help.

When a multinational corporation and a values-based volunteering non-profit team up to use their unique superpowers to benefit the world... then they can truly become superheroes! In Part 2 of this exploration of the partnership between UPS and Serve the City, we see how it has moved from simply local community engagement to growing global impact.We see how the UPS Foundation has helped to start a new chapter of Serve the City in Cologne, upskill migrant workers in Dubai, and open the Impact Coworking Cafe in Paris. And we also see how STC works with UPS in their mission of delivering pathways to empower resilient, just, and safe communities around the world.

Simon "Kebabsimon" Frääs har på senare tid blivit en uppskattad attraktion på de större stadsloppen. Han springer alltid i bar överkropp och trots att han släpar runt på enormt mycket muskler så placerar han sig högt upp i resultatlistorna. Simon som satsade på crossfit har sedan två och ett halvt år gått in mot löpning, med twisten att han vill förbli muskulös och stor. Som vinnare i bänklöp-SM (kombinerad bänkpress och 5000m) så har han en kropp som inte är vanlig att se springandes så pass fort som han gör. I helgen sprang han Köpenhamn Marathon på 2.38 en vecka efter att ha vunnit Wings for Life där han sprang 53 kilometer i 4.03-fart. Hör Simon berätta om hur de extra musklerna kanske kan vara till en viss fördel och hur han omdefinierar vad en löparkropp ska vara och se ut.  Elsa Sundqvist, 19-åringen i från Uppsala, sprang Kungsholmen Runt 10k på fantastiska 32.28 i helgen. Med den prestationen vann hon överlägset och var bara åtta sekunder bakom totalsegraren. Elsa berättar hur hon har kommit i sitt livs form, om proffslivet på hög höjd och om den svåra funk som drabbade henne förra året.  Både John och Manne har tävlat vid Kungsholmen Runt! John på den sämsta tiden i sitt vuxna liv, men kanske ändå av av de bättre prestationerna. Manne har äntligen putsat ett väldigt gammalt personbästa. Veckans sponsorer: Saucony och gymkedjan STC.

Today's session revolves around the phrase “quiet builder.” We are discussing the concept behind this phrase, as well as why this mindset is so vitally important in this day of political uncertainty, escalating AI technology, etc. You may wonder how you can build something meaningful without being loud, fast, and constantly online, and I honestly think about this concept very often. When I started Selling the Couch in 2015, I knew that I didn't want to build my business like everyone else; my definition of success differs from what society pressures us to do to be successful as entrepreneurs. I wanted to embody a more holistic definition of success and well-being, and my purpose remains much bigger than simply building a successful business. Join me as we explore the idea of being a quiet builder.You'll Learn:3 Marks of a Quiet Builder:Quiet builders create from depth, not noise.They focus on long-form content.Quiet builders design their businesses around their lives, not the other way around. They ask, “How do I build something I won't resent 5-10 years from now?”Building with “margin” has become my goal.Quiet builders play the long game.They focus on timeless principles, like service, trust, and consistency as they look to cultivate a legacy.For building a values-driven, life-first business that goes against hustle culture messaging, join our new premium newsletter that is published twice monthly.

You know what we've been telling you happened to UK comics after STC? We get a couple of disturbing glimpses of it this issue. Bags of tat, three poundsworth of hail Marys, and what happened to Dave when Jasper Carrott came on.

Welcome! Today's session kicks off a two-part series on podcasting for therapists. Today's focus is on how podcasting can help you build something bigger than just a business and help establish you as a trusted voice that resonates far beyond the therapy room. If you are a therapist who has been wondering whether it's time to expand your reach, this episode is for you. As I've grown as a podcaster, I've learned lessons about thinking of this skill set as a tool for reaching far beyond clinical work in serving others and growing a business. Even though I was initially surprised that people would even listen to my podcast, I've come to understand that podcasting for me wasn't just about sharing content. It is simply “credibility building” in slow motion, but it's not the loud credibility that permeates social media. It is the quiet kind that is built through consistency, trust, and service.You'll Learn:In a noisy world, depth builds trust, and podcasting creates space for depth.Three ideas about using podcasting to build your thought leadership:Thought leadership begins with trust, and podcasting builds trust–one episode at a time.People follow voices that they trust, and podcasting gives them the time and space to be human and not just polished. Authenticity is a strength!Podcasting helps you organize and articulate your ideas.You learn to refine frameworks, language, and points of view.Podcasting positions you as a thoughtful voice in a noisy world.You don't need to be the loudest; you need to be the most aligned. Going viral and building a massive audience has a lot of downsides.Therapists who podcast consistently become trusted voices. Resources:Interested in becoming part of our affiliate program?

Today's session covers a topic that many clinicians are pondering. Many, like me, are having conversations with themselves in their heads about the available opportunities and the most efficient and ethical ways not to be left behind as technology presents new options in our field. The issue is how we can navigate the world of mental health tech startups that are available to join us to support our good work. Examples of what these startups provide are electronic health records, website design, marketing, and more. The truth is that the pandemic changed everything and catapulted the tech startup world into the range of billions of dollars. Don't miss my enlightening conversation with today's guest!Our Featured GuestMichael FulwilerMichael Fulwiler is Head of Brand Marketing at Heard, a company that assists therapists with bookkeeping and financial needs. I've come to rely on Mike's expertise as a good friend as I navigate the aspects of STC, trying to be a protector of our field while staying in alignment with my values. In this session, Mike and I discuss the mindblowing numbers around the multitude of mental health tech startups and how clinicians can be informed about which ones are most likely to succeed or fail. We also discuss the vitally important topic of client data privacy and the top three considerations we should have before signing up for a product or service.

This will be the last episode for a month or so as I take a break to get ahead on some projects and take extra time to recharge. Today's session is in response to a frequent question about optimizing your LinkedIn profile. I don't pretend to be a LinkedIn expert, but I have learned some valuable lessons in the past two years of using this platform. As I share screens and info with you today, you may find it more helpful to watch the YouTube video rather than simply listen to the audio. So many people are curious about LinkedIn and how to use it best, so I'm happy to share some of my insights today!You'll Learn:View your profile as a landing page, not a sales page. Tips for your banner (Canva is a great resource!), profile picture, text, and graphicsMy philosophy when trying something new: “Get going, get good, and then get smart.”Including credibility and social proof in your LI profileBeware of playing the analytics game!Taplio is a great resource for scheduling LI posts.Structure your “About” section with an emphasis on storytelling.Gauge your level of engagement with your ideal client.Be clear and simple about your call to action.Connect with your audience on a deeper level through your “Featured” section.Thoughts about maximizing the impact of your “Activity” sectionTips for other sections on your LI profileResources:Interested in becoming part of our affiliate program?

I've thought a lot about this topic and want to share more about it today. You might wonder why I don't want to become social media famous since being active in thought leadership and content creation seems to require a certain degree of social media involvement. People “hang out” on social media platforms, but my impact on the world is not dependent on being a social media influencer. Let's explore this topic!You'll Learn:Fame is more accessible than ever today.The path I've chosen values peace, depth, and privacy over chasing online recognition.Three key reasons why I don't seek social media fame (and powerful reflection questions for you to consider):The illusion of fame as a solution to personal insecuritiesThe lesson: If you aren't grounded before you attract attention, more attention will only amplify your struggles.The emotional toll of public exposureThe lesson: When you have a platform, you aren't simply sharing content, but you are influencing people's emotions, choices, and mental health. The erosion of personal privacyThe lesson: Privacy is precious, and I want to build a business that supports my life, not one that makes me feel like I'm on display. My thoughts here are influenced by an impactful 2007 blog post by Tim Ferriss. You can check it out here. Resources:Interested in becoming part of our affiliate program?
