Having arrived in Britain as a five-year-old refugee fleeing the Nazis on the Kindertransport, Dame Stephanie Shirley went on to build one of Britain's most successful software companies. Using the pen name ‘Steve' to be taken more seriously by clients, she built a business valued at $3 billion, turning 70 staff members into millionaires along the way. But her impact goes far beyond the business world. Dame Stephanie has dedicated the last three decades of her life to philanthropy, giving away most of her personal wealth. Once the 11th richest woman in the UK, she's the only person to drop off the Sunday Times Rich List due to generosity. Inspired by her late son, Giles, who was profoundly autistic, Dame Stephanie has helped transform care for those with autism along with supporting a range of other causes. In this episode she shares stories from her childhood, her career and her personal life – all of them packed with invaluable lessons. A former podcast guest of ours, Baroness Martha Lane Fox, wrote the foreword to Dame Stephanie's brilliant memoir, Let it Go; and described her as “ ... a role model for how to build your life, not just your company.” She wasn't wrong.    Links    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/damestephanie_/?hl=enWebsite: https://www.steveshirley.com/  Book Let It Go (2019): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Let-Go-Extraordinary-Entrepreneur-Philanthropist/dp/0241395496  CharitiesAutistica: https://www.autistica.org.uk/Autism at Kingwood: https://www.kingwood.org.uk/Prior's Court: https://www.priorscourt.org.uk/The Oxford Internet Institute: https://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/The Worshipful Company of Information Technologists: https://wcit.org.uk/  Stream/buy ‘Allies' by Some Velvet Morning: https://ampl.ink/qp6bm    Some Velvet Morning Website: www.somevelvetmorning.co.uk      Your Daily Practice: Sleep by Myndstream: https://open.spotify.com/track/5OX9XgJufFz9g63o2Dv2i5?si=b2f9397c92084682    This podcast is brought to you by Crisis What Crisis?

Send us a textYou may be familiar with today's guest, Richard Farleigh, a high-profile entrepreneur, former Dragon on the TV show Dragon's Den, and member of the Sunday Times Rich List.The successes are well documented - but Richard's start in life couldn't have been much worse.Born into a family of 11 children with an alcoholic father, they travelled around the Australian outback, living in poverty in 2 tents.Eventually, Richard was taken into the care system at 2 years old, and his early years were quite brutal.Separated from his siblings, treated poorly by foster parents, and placed in the remedial class at school, Richard eventually found salvation through his love of chess.This led to him developing a skill for strategy and numbers, which allowed him to secure a place at university and then on to a job at the Central Bank.He later moved into investment banking, where he excelled, and was headhunted to run a secretive hedge fund in Bermuda  -  before retiring at 34 and moving to Monaco.What a journey!But inevitably, retirement wasn't for him, and Richard found a new passion for business. He's since invested in over 100 companies across a wide range of sectors and industries and remains very active in the entrepreneurial world.He shared his experiences on Dragon's Den and what he thinks of one Dragon in particular - and it's not flattering! He talks about what it takes to succeed in business and, as an investor, the secret sauce  ingredient that he looks for in every company he invests in.He also discussed his two new books, which he just published, and why he thinks they could help business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs. I've included a link below to access them pre-launch.This is an incredible story of resilience and personal growth that offers so many lessons for anyone facing challenges in their life.Richard's story proves that success is always possible, even when the odds are stacked against you.If you enjoy the conversation, please hit the subscribe button, give the show a 5-star review, and share it with anyone you think it can help.Links:https://www.farleigh.com/index.htmlhttps://www.farleigh.com/books.htmlThis podcast is produced by GR Media Sponsored by Capital Asset Management

How often have you wished that more billionaires used their money to do good in the world? Well, you’re in luck, because in this episode we talk with British billionaire Jim Mellon. In recent years Jim’s been most well-known for his work on human longevity research, which we discuss. But he’s also become fixated on ending the factory farming of animals. As a result, Jim has learned an immensity about alternative protein and has invested in dozens of start-ups in the space via his fund Agronomics. He’s even just published a book on the topic, Moo’s Law, in which he discusses his views on the industry, which companies he thinks will be winners, and yes, which he thinks won’t make it.  As you’ll hear in this interview, Jim has little hope that humans will give up eating meat, so he’s betting instead on simply making meat without the animals.  In this conversation we discuss when he thinks such clean meat will be price comparable to conventional meat, whether price parity is sufficient, where he sees white spaces, and more.  So enjoy this wide-ranging conversation with a truly interesting person who’s given a lot of thought to just how he can use his role as an investor to solve some of the most pressing problems we face. Discussed in this episode Our past episodes with philosopher Peter Singer, BlueNalu’s Lou Cooperhouse, and Shiok Meat’s Sandhya Sriram. The Good Food Institute Startup Manual. More about Jim Mellon Jim Mellon’s investment philosophy is underpinned by his ability to recognize emerging trends that give rise to new industries or major shifts in markets. This includes the global financial crisis of 2008-2009, as foreseen in the first book Jim co-authored entitled Wake Up!, and subsequently in the new science and technologies detailed in Cracking the Code and Fast Forward.  More recently Jim has established himself as a thought leader in the nascent field of aging research and longevity as well as a key investor in alternative proteins, through his company Agronomics. He is interested in keeping the world healthy and properly and ethically fed and forecasts great investment opportunities in both these areas.  Jim Mellon also runs Master Investor to provide tips and forecasting insights to the investor community. His wealth of knowledge and vast experience allows him to capitalize on sound investments upon which he has built a worldwide business empire. Jim is serially amongst the top 10% in the Sunday Times Rich List and holds a master’s degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from the University of Oxford.

Money Tips Podcast
Three reasons why the richest family in the UK have kept their wealth intact for 300 years

Money Tips Podcast

On 9 August 2016, 25-year-old Hugh Richard Louis Grosvenor became the billionaire 7th Duke of Westminster, when his father, Gerald Grosvenor, suddenly died of a heart attack aged 64.  The Duke and his family are estimated to be worth at least £10.1 billion (US$13 billion), according to the Sunday Times Rich List in May 2019. The exact amount of wealth is difficult to estimate, since most of it is held in trusts.  The current Duke is the world's richest person aged under 30. Other families appear higher on the Sunday Times list, but privately held property is undervalued compared to company shares on the stock market, and very few people have stayed in the top 10 as long as the Dukes of Westminster.   How have this extraordinary family maintained their vast wealth, passing down through the generations for 300 years? As the Chinese say, most family fortunes disappear after only three generations. The first reason is smart tax planning. If the Grosvenor estate been bequeathed directly to the young Duke, he would been liable for 40% inheritance tax, not far off the Treasury’s death duty take for the last financial year. Inheritance tax (IHT) usually involves selling off assets in order to pay the tax, which would wipe out the fortune within a few generations. Hugh Grosvenor, like his father, legally avoided a massive amount of tax on his £10bn inheritance because the majority of assets within the estate are held in trusts. UK trust law ensures the survival of many of the country’s largest fortunes, while less wealthy people and increasing the middle classes are forced to sell off family homes to cover IHT demands.  The second reason their wealth is still growing for centuries is the use of leases. The Grosvenor Estate’s assets includes a privately owned property business which has £11.8bn of prime property under management. The 300-year-old London property business started in 1677 with 500 acres of then rural land covering much of Mayfair and almost all of Belgravia – adjacent to Buckingham Palace and the home of Harrods in exclusive Knightsbridge.  Grosvenor’s international property portfolio range from office space in Silicon Valley, a science park in Edinburgh and the freehold on the current US embassy in Grosvenor Square. Perhaps the most famous and exclusive streets in the empire is Eaton Square, built close to the Houses of Parliament during the housing boom after the Napoleonic wars. There was recently a listing on Rightmove for a flat in Eaton Square for only £600,000. I thought, wow, that’s a bargain for an exclusive address in Knightsbridge. Alas, I looked closer I discovered that it was not such a bargain because the remaining lease was only 5 years. The key to keeping hold of their assets is the use of leasehold titles, which means the freeholds eventually comes back to the family. The final factor for keeping wealth together, and perhaps the most important, is that the family take the long view and employ long term planning.  Whilst most people plan to leave a legacy for their children or grandchildren, the Grosvenors, and other super wealthy families like the Rothchild’s or Rockefellers, think several generations ahead and have a wealth preservation strategy. The previous Duke saw himself as the custodian of the family fortune and struggled with the burden of keeping it all together. The responsibility even led to his depression. The fact that the business is largely made up of investment property from residential to some of the biggest farms in Britain is obviously a major factor compared to a family business which can go out of fashion or fail to adapt to changes. However, thousands of property businesses have gone by the wayside and the UK is littered with country estates now owned by the National Trust because the once wealthy aristocratic families could no longer afford to maintain them.

Three reasons why the richest family in the UK have kept their wealth intact for 300 years On 9 August 2016, 25-year-old Hugh Richard Louis Grosvenor became the billionaire 7th Duke of Westminster, when his father, Gerald Grosvenor, suddenly died of a heart attack aged 64. The Duke and his family are estimated to be worth at least £10.1 billion (US$13 billion), according to the Sunday Times Rich List in May 2019.

Show #781   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Sunday 17th May 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   DYSON FINALLY UNVEILS ITS CANCELED ELECTRIC CAR "Having famously killed off its electric car project back in October, Dyson’s automobile remained a mystery to most, with insiders telling Engadget that only a handful of engineers had seen a working prototype somewhere in Wiltshire. But yesterday, the company chose to finally show off its scrapped electric car for an interview about Sir James Dyson — now worth £16.2 billion — topping the Sunday Times Rich List for the first time." writes Engadget.com: "According to The Times, Dyson revealed that his electric vehicle, codenamed “N526,” would have been a seven-seater with a whopping 600-mile range per charge. This was largely thanks to the company’s proprietary solid-state batteries, which could apparently sustain such performance. Despite its 2.6-ton weight, Dyson’s aluminum car could go from zero to 62MPH in 4.8 seconds (about half a second more than the long-range Model X), with its top speed apparently reaching 125MPH (30MPH shy of the Model X’s). This is all coming from the twin 200kW electric motors rated with 536BHP. As the owner of the company, Dyson told The Times that this project ended up costing £500 million of his own money before he put a stop to it. "   https://www.engadget.com/dysons-electric-car-n526-085341772.html   KOENIGSEGG REGERA’S BATTERY COSTS 100 TIMES MORE THAN A REGULAR EV BATTERY "The Koenigsegg Regera’s batteries are designed to deliver uncompromising performance. It doesn’t come cheap. In fact, according to Jonas Voss, Director, EV Propulsion Systems, the Regera’s battery costs 100 times more than a regular battery pack you would find in an EV. Similar cells are used in modern Formula 1 cars." says TheSupercarBlog.com: "Koenigsegg sources the special batteries from Rimac. Apparently, these are cells are so specialized that even Rimac doesn’t use it the C_Two electric hypercar. There are 6 modules of 64 cells inside the carbon fibre housing. It is mounted in the centre of the car in order to keep the centre of gravity low. The batteries alone generate around 700 hp.The Regera also uses a twin-turbo V8 engine and three electric motors. The combined output of the hybrid system is 1500 hp and 1500 lb-ft of torque, which enables the car to hit 0-400 km/h in less than 20 seconds."   https://www.thesupercarblog.com/koenigsegg-regeras-battery-costs-100-times-more-than-a-regular-ev-battery/   TESLA UPDATES MODEL Y AND MODEL 3 DELIVERY TIMELINE "Tesla has updated Model Y and Model 3 delivery timelines after restarting production at Fremont factory. The automaker is now listing 5 to 7 weeks delivery time for new Model 3 orders in the US:" reckons electrek: "Prior to the factory shutdown, Tesla was listing 4 to 8 weeks for new Model 3 deliveries in the US. As for the Model Y, new buyers of the electric SUV are going to have to wait a little longer before getting the vehicle. Tesla updated the Model Y delivery timeline with a new 8 to 12 weeks lead time."   https://electrek.co/2020/05/16/tesla-updates-model-y-3-delivery-timeline/   HOW TESLA MADE ITS BATTERY BREAKTHROUGHS IN A TINY CANADIAN LAB "After conducting battery research for 3M and Medtronic, Dahn signed a research partnership with Tesla in 2015 that runs through mid-2021. Tesla hired Dahn’s students and graduates and built connections to a small battery testing facility in Halifax in 2015, that was spun out of Dahn’s lab at Dalhousie." says iphoneincanada: "Tesla also set up its own battery research lab in Halifax that same year. A former PhD student of Dahn’s, Chris Burns, helped Tesla build its Halifax facility. Tesla’s funding of Dahn’s work is public, and Dahn has talked about some of his group’s accomplishments at public and private forums, including a presentation in February at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. Videos of that presentation and at least two others where Dahn discussed his work were posted on YouTube, but since have been removed. Dahn’s team is now playing a key role in Tesla’s plans to introduce a new low-cost, long-life ‘million mile’ battery in its Model 3 sedan in China, which will bring the cost of electric vehicles in line with gasoline models."   https://www.iphoneincanada.ca/tesla/tesla-battery-development-in-canadian-lab/   NEW FORD EXPLORER PLUG-IN HYBRID NOW BEING DELIVERED TO EUROPEAN CUSTOMERS THE ALL-NEW FORD Explorer Plug-In Hybrid – featuring electric driving, first-class comfort and true tough terrain capability – is now being delivered to customers across Europe, following the seven-seater SUV going on sale late last year. The Explorer Plug-In Hybrid combines Ford’s powerful 3.0-litre EcoBoost V6 petrol engine with an electric motor, generator and 13.6 kWh lithium-ion battery. Equipped with Ford’s 10-speed automatic transmission, Intelligent All-Wheel Drive and Terrain Management System with seven Drive Modes, the advanced powertrain delivers the ability to carry seven passengers in refined comfort, tow up to 2,500 kg, and enables 48 km NEDC (42 km WLTP) electric driving rang.  The Explorer Plug-In Hybrid is one of 18 new electrified vehicles Ford is introducing for customers in Europe before the end of 2021.   OCTOPUS ENERGY CREATES ROAMING CHARGING SERVICE IN UK AND EUROPE "Octopus Energy Group has launched a new roaming charging service, enabling electric car drivers to access multiple charging networks with a single account. The Electric Juice Network scheme can be used by any electric car driver – including non-Octopus Energy’ customers – and initially provides access to urban charging points through the Char.gy network, but with other partners to follow. This includes expansion into Europe." says FleetWorld: "Charging costs for all users are invoiced through a single bill – providing a solution to the long-standing issue of a lack of standardised payment measures. The launch of the new roaming service follows Octopus Energy’s work last year to deliver time-of-use tariffs and smart analytics to charging companies across the UK and will soon be supported by the Electric Juice app, which will also enable drivers across Europe to take advantage of the same service."   https://fleetworld.co.uk/octopus-energy-creates-roaming-charging-service-in-uk-and-europe/   NISSAN LAUNCHES ALL-NEW KICKS E-POWER IN THAILAND "The Nissan Kicks e-POWER, an all-new compact SUV that gives drivers the power and performance of an electric car, debuted today in Thailand. This is a Nissan regional launch event, and the world-debut of the new Nissan model: Nissan Kicks e-POWER." reports Automotiveworld: "Equipped with e-POWER, the revolutionary electrified powertrain first introduced by Nissan in Japan, the new Nissan Kicks is built in Thailand and perfectly tailored for the lifestyles of urban customers. Nissan’s award-winning e-POWER technology brings a fully electric motor drive, meaning that the wheels are completely driven by the electric motor. The power from a high-output battery is delivered to the e-POWER compact powertrain comprising a gasoline engine, power generator, inverter and a motor." The all-new Nissan Kicks e-POWER technology features an EM57 electric motor, generator and inverter that generates electricity from its 1.2 liters DOHC 12-valve three-cylinder engine. The e-POWER system offers a maximum power of 95 kilowatts (kW) (129 PS), a maximum flat-torque of 260 Nm, and a lithium-ion battery—all delivering a driving experience similar to an EV. The 1.57 kWh lithium-ion battery in the all-new Nissan Kicks  e-POWER has four modules that provide smooth acceleration, quiet rides, and increased fuel efficiency."   QUESTION OF THE WEEK ANSWERS   RAJEEV NARAYAN Here in Texas, I have used Plug-share, which seems to have a reasonable coverage map and can give you turn by turn directions and a trip planner which seems to work. It can also filter by type of charger. The problem for me is that in my area at least, there is no real guarantee the charger you pull up to will work.   DOUG VOWLES I exclusively use A Better Route Planner.  It allows you to enter the specific model of EV you’re driving, and then you can tailor trip parameters to include outside temperature, wind, road conditions etc. The program also knows road elevations. We made several trips beyond the range of level 2 and 3 chargers in the dead of winter, and ABRP let us anticipate the need for and use overnight 110 volt charging to make it back to “civilization.” Highly recommended.   JEFFREY MURRAY My wife and I have a 2019 Chevy Bolt that we bought new in October and we already have over 20k miles on it, including multiple long distance road trips in the middle of winter (we bought it going into the worst case scenario for an EV, so now summer should be a pleasant surprise). My prefered route planner overall has been Plugshare, as it seems to have the most complete database of chargers here in the Indiana, USA area. I also use abetterrouteplanner.com since it has a lot of customizations to the car, how much weight, weather, etc. I will often take the charge stops that it finds and put them into plugshare since I find it easier to follow in the car.       QUESTION OF THE WEEK   Should Dyson have continued to make a £150,000 EV, or should we only make EVs realistic? What’s wrong with making cars at a high price point?   I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the 230 patrons of this podcast whose generosity means I get to keep making this show, which aims to entertain and inform thousands of listeners every day about a brighter future.

How do you become successful? There's no one size fits all formula, but there are some essential elements that you need to know about if you want to become successful. In today' episode, Rob interviews Scottish billionaire and founder of Clyde Blowers Capital, Jim McColl OBE. Rob and Jim discuss what it takes to become successful, how to motivate yourself, how to educate yourself, how to have an unwavering self-belief and how to take risks. Tune in today to discover the insider secrets to entrepreneurial success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Things you need to do for you to be successful. Everyone in life has his or her own needs, someone wants a big house, someone wants a nice car, someone wants to buy land or property, these are the things that drive us to work hard, but the extent of how hard you work depends on how much you want that thing. Have that belief that your ideas are achievable even when people think that your ideas are crazy. You must have self-belief because when people think that your ideas are crazy, you should know that they are big enough and you have to prove them wrong for notbelieving in your ideas and you have to prove yourself right that you have an achievable, big idea. Taking the first step in doing what you wanted to do is the most essential thing you can do in your business and personal life. Don't just sit there and keep on saying that you have a business idea and you are not doing anything about it. Your idea could be the next big thing in future. Take the first step and do something about it, it doesn't matter how many times you fail. This is the key to becoming the next big entrepreneur. You should also have that hunger for education, be willing to learn so that you can acquire the knowledge to build a business and run it smoothly and scale-up. Be willing to learn from the best and from people who have achieved success in their lives and their business lives as well. Start your business and do as much homework as you can to mitigate the risk, understand the market, be the expert in the sector you're in, do as much as you can and learnthe competition in the markets, the products they're looking for and then make the decision. Be a person that is always willing to take risks in everything that you do because you can never be an entrepreneur or you can never achieve anything if you are not a person that takes risks. Big opportunities always come with great risks. Taking risks gives you pressure, you become responsible for more and more people. You feel a responsibility for them as you grow and it gets to a point where it's not all about you anymore. If you do something crazy and it doesn't work, that's fine if it's just you that it impacts, but if you've got hundreds or thousands of people that would be damaged, that becomes a real burden. And that's what makes you lose sleep at night. Have a positive visualization and havea clear vision, a storyboard for where you're going.

My guest on the show today is Jim Mellon, co-author of a new book called Juvenescence. Jim is a visionary entrepreneur with a flair for identifying emerging global trends. Most notably and very publicly, he predicted the credit crunch of 2007-08 in a book entitled “Wake Up! Survive and Prosper in the Coming Economic Turmoil”. The book cited catalysts for the impending crisis including unsustainable levels of consumer debt in the western world, a U.S. housing crash, derivative financial instruments and governmental fiscal mismanagement – the rest is history! As an investor, Jim has built a worldwide business empire. He’s serially amongst the top 10% in the Sunday Times Rich List and holds a master’s degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from Oxford University. In his new book Juvenescence, co-authored with Al Chalabi, Jim provides a layman’s guide to longevity. It investigates the new technologies and explains how to benefit from the life extending technologies both personally and professionally. The book helps readers unravel the science, offers ideas on potential investment and reveals the views of the key opinion leaders.

Welcome to CONKERS’ CORNER. In this interview I have the pleasure of speaking with Diana E Patterson @dianaepatterson. Diana, initially worked as a Student Nurse and progressed to Ward Sister as well as being an Examiner for the General Nursing Council. Diana eventually swapped what she calls “psychic wages for the highly paid legal profession”. However, what Diana sought was “Financial Freedom” so she made the huge switch to investing. Diana has more than 30 years of investing knowledge and describes her methodology as “buying counter-intuitively into Bear markets”. The Sunday Times “Rich List” has numerous individuals (from old and new money) who have accumulated their wealth through investments in property. Few however were investing in FTSE listed House Builders at their nadir during the 2007-2008 Financial Crisis. Fewer still gained their financial freedom by investing in the Construction Sector when those stocks were “penny stocks” and were yielding more than 12%. Many of Diana’s investments went onto increase in value more than 1000% and interestingly, today Diana still has some of those stocks in her long-term portfolio. Listen now to gain insights into how Diana invests and learn from the lessons in her investing journey.

There could be no-one better to turn to for insight that Rob Watts, the former deputy political editor of the Sunday Telegraph, who now has the task of compiling The Sunday Times Rich List. Rob tries to convince Tim that his life does not consist of leaping from super yacht to super yacht trying not to spill his Dom Perignon, but that as well as wading through thousands of company accounts, he does meet a varied mix of opinionated characters.

David Beckham - det ideala varumärket 2.0

Stil

David Beckham (1975-) är inte bara en av världens mest berömda fotbollsspelare, han är också ett globalt varumärke. Väl medveten om att karriären som sportstjärna på elitnivå är kort har han medvetet mejslat fram David Beckham till att idag symbolisera ett internationellt gångbart varumärke som sträcker sig långt utanför sportens gränser. Hans vältränade kropp säljer kalsonger, klockor, läsk, solglasögon, mobiltelefoner och parfymer. Än så länge. Vad väntar nu, när han slutat att aktivt spela fotboll? I veckans STIL tittar vi närmare på denne brittiske fotbollsspelare som med sin stil förändrat - ja, förbättrat- synen på hur moderna män av idag kan klä sig och bete sig - och inte minst frisera och tatuera sig. David Beckhams stil är för övrigt mycket framgångsrik stil, kan tilläggas. Den har hittills resulterat i en personlig förmögenhet på 1,8 miljarder kronor, enligt tidningen Sunday Times Rich List.  Och förmögenheten kommer knappast att minska i framtiden, tvärtom. I programmet berättar vi mer om hans liv, karriär och äktenskap med Victoria Beckham, förstås. Hon är en viktig del i hans varumärkesbyggande som i mångt och mycket kretsar kring livsstil. I likhet med många andra sportstjärnor började David Beckham sin professionella modekarriär med kalsonger. 2008 poserade han för Emporio Armani. Bilderna på Beckham i kalsonger fördubblade företagets omsättning, vilket ledde till idén att själv skapa underkläder. Det är det som vi idag kan se i hans samarbete med H&M. Men det finns sportstjärnor som vågat sig på kläder av annan sort. Sedan tjugo år tillbaka har till exempel den svenske före detta fotbollsspelaren Martin Dahlin sålt skjortor, skor och pikétröjor. Honom har vi träffat och pratat kläder med.  David Beckham har också alltid varit en garanti för fotbollsklubbarnas tröjförsäljning. Manchester United och Real Madrid och toppar alltid listan över klubblagen som säljer flest lagtröjor. Stora sportvarumärken som Adidas, Puma och Nike konkurrerar och förhandlar hårt med klubbarna om att få bli just deras samarbetspartners. Det är med andra ord ingen tillfällighet att just dessa sportvarumärken ofta blir utsatta för piratkopiering. I programmet har vi kollat in en ny bok i vilken man samlat förvrängda och fejkade varianter av varumärken. David Beckham är dessutom den förste man som ensam fått pryda omslaget av modetidningar för kvinnor – helt utan kvinnligt modellsällskap, som annars alltid är fallet.  2002 dök han upp på brittiska Marie Claire och förra året syntes han på omslaget till brittiska Elles julinummer. På bilden ser man honom kliva upp ur en swimmingpool, klädd i genomdränkta svarta jeans från Dior Homme med det tatuerade bara bröstet glittrande av vattendroppar. Håret är bakåtkammat och blicken fäst rakt in i kameran. Han ser ut som en väldigt målmedveten och modern James Bond. Varför skildras inte fler kvinnor så? Vi har träffat Lisa Hågeby som skapat en websajt med rubriken Stop Female Death In Advertising  (stopfemaledeathinadvertising.com) som sitt examensarbete från Beckmans Designhögskola. Där har hon samlat reklambilder på kvinnor som ser livlösa ut, utslängda på sängar och liggandes med slutna ögon i vatten.  Veckans gäst är Simon Bank, sportjournalist på Aftonbladet
