Marketing used to feel more predictable. You picked your channels, launched a campaign and tracked performance in a fairly linear way. Today? Consumers are bouncing between social, search, streaming, AI tools, connected devices and more—all before making a decision. In this episode, Matt Fanelli joins Tessa Burg to unpack what's actually broken in marketing measurement and how leaders can rethink performance in a fragmented world. Matt breaks down why platform-led measurement often misses the mark, how attribution gets messy when multiple touchpoints influence a purchase and why defining “what success really looks like” is the first step most marketers skip. The conversation explores real-world examples—from healthcare to retail—and explains how better attribution, smarter use of AI and stronger human oversight can help teams build trust in their numbers again. If you're responsible for performance, budget allocation or defending marketing results to leadership, this episode will give you a clearer framework for measuring what matters. It's a practical conversation about cutting through the noise, focusing on quality over volume and building measurement strategies that actually reflect how people buy today. Leader Generation is hosted by Tessa Burg and brought to you by Mod Op.

Today we sit down with Doug May, SVP of Productivity at Harness, to discuss one of the most critical yet overlooked aspects of a healthy organization: Sales Productivity. Doug has had an illustrious career at elite organizations including Datadog and Databricks, and he brings that expertise to Harness, where he has cut ramp time in half and increased per-rep contribution by 43%. We explore the "F1 engineering team" analogy of GTM support, why productivity metrics are the ultimate indicator of a company's health, and the specific questions every candidate should ask to de-risk their next career move.

In this episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, hosts Malcolm Harris and Michael Vincent break down a volatile week in global logistics where political shifts and cartel violence are fundamentally redrawing the map of North American trade. The discussion centers on the "green gold" wars at the border, exploring a high-stakes reality where cross-border freight has shifted from a capacity challenge to a survival mission. Following the killing of a major cartel boss, violence along U.S.-Mexico freight corridors has surged, prompting shelter-in-place orders for U.S. citizens and a spike in cargo theft. Adding to the complexity, the hosts analyze the economic ripples of President Trump's new 10% global tariff, implemented in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling that blocked emergency trade powers. Shifting focus from the border to the facility, Justin Malone, Director of Field Safety at The Miner Corporation, joins the show to highlight why the loading dock—rather than the open highway—is often the most dangerous part of an operation. Malone breaks down the "handoff" moment where communication between drivers and facilities frequently fails, leading to life-threatening risks. He dives deep into the phenomenon of "trailer creep," explaining why this silent killer occurs and how basic safety tools like wheel chocks and dock locks are often dangerously ignored or misused. The conversation then turns toward the financial core of logistics technology with Matthew Everson, SVP of Sales & Marketing at IntelliTrans. Everson challenges the industry's current obsession with visibility, arguing that tracking dashboards can become "money pits" if they aren't balanced against carrier economics. He asserts that the true financial center of gravity for shippers lies in carrier performance and selection, focusing on the specific KPIs that actually drive profitability. Amidst this tech-heavy discussion, Everson also notes Nashville's rise as a critical emerging hub for both logistics and technology. The episode rounds out with a look at major industry headlines, starting with a judge's approval of $150,000 UPS driver buyouts. The hosts debate whether this move signals a strategic labor reset or serves as a warning sign for the broader industry. Finally, the team covers the immediate logistical impact of a massive winter blizzard that has ground container terminals to a halt at major Northeast ports, adding further strain to an already pressured supply chain.

AI fatigue is real, but what if the solution isn't less AI but a smarter approach to how we validate and implement it? On this episode of Power Supply, we're joined by David Newton, SVP of Product, Customer Success, and AI Initiatives at HANDLE® Global and host of the Canopy podcast, to cut through the AI hype and talk about what's actually working in healthcare supply chain. David outlines why blockchain stalled while AI accelerated, how to turn proprietary data into a competitive advantage, and how to approach AI with the right mindset—trust but validate, start small, and focus on judgment over automation. He shares practical tips for using AI tools like ChatGPT and Replit, why storytelling matters as much as the technology itself, and how to build real value without chasing every new tool that comes along. Tune in to this episode for a refreshing take on how to cut through the noise and apply AI strategically -- without the burnout.

In this episode of Sales Is King, Dan sits down in the new Midtown Manhattan studio with Craig Bowman, SVP of Public Sector at Trellix and author of the new book Craft: CIA Elite Selling. Craig brings a wild career arc to the mic—from clandestine work with the CIA and the intelligence community to building high‑performing sales teams at Adobe and now leading public sector growth at scale.Craig unpacks how CIA tradecraft, “mission first” thinking, and AI can radically upgrade how you prospect, qualify, and win in complex B2B deals. Key topics coveredThe CIA recruitment story: from a mysterious hotel lobby interview, underground parking garages, and VCR‑filled rooms to landing his first role under commercial cover.Moving from intelligence to entrepreneurship: starting, scaling, and selling his own government contracting company, then returning post‑9/11 for a new mission.Jumping into sales at Adobe: how he was recruited, doubled his salary, and built a new intelligence division by deeply understanding the mission—not just the tech.“In the mud with the customer”: why Craig literally went to the southern border with CBP to understand the mission and coined his mantra about getting in the trenches.Influence maps vs org charts: why the real power sits with the “knuckle‑draggers” in the back of the room, not just the CIO, and how to find and engage true influencers.Frameworks without rigidity: his take on MEDDIC, Challenger, and why you coach the bottom half differently while using top performers as mentors to “shift the middle.”The AI inflection point: how he rewrote his book mid‑stream to integrate AI, and why he now spends 70% of his time using AI agents as a personal chief of staff.Craig's live AI workflow: daily scripts that summarize email, corporate updates, and account intel; auto‑generated dossiers, personas, and value hypotheses. The 90‑Second Takeover: how to send a pre‑meeting hypothesis of value, then open meetings with clarity, validation, and a working session instead of random discovery.Humility as a superpower: the intern experiment that proved “humility emails” beat cold calls, and why genuine curiosity and asking for help unlock meetings.AI from the buyer's side: why your customers are already using AI to shortlist vendors and how you should be using AI the same way to qualify where you can truly win.Metrics that actually matter: the question Craig asks every customer about how they'll measure value 7 months after buying—then how he uses that in MEDDIC the right way.The seven criteria of a successful seller: why he evaluates inputs (character, curiosity, rigor) rather than just outputs (pipeline, quota).Mentors and pivotal leaders: from his grandfather and tough college professor to powerful women leaders in the intelligence community and sales leaders like Ken Karsten.Who this episode is forEnterprise and public sector sellers trying to win complex, multi‑stakeholder deals.Sales leaders looking to blend frameworks like MEDDIC with modern AI and real coaching.Rev leaders who want their teams “in the mud with the customer” instead of stuck on Zoom.Listen for these takeawaysWhy you must deeply understand your customer's mission—and often physically go to the “border” or “boat”—before pitching technology.How to build influence maps, not just chase titles on an org chart.A tested AI + email play that interns used to book meetings your team “could never get.”A simple question that turns MEDDIC metrics from guesswork into a mutual accountability pact.Connect with CraigBook: Craft: CIA Elite Selling on Amazon (hardcover, ebook, and audiobook).Bonus material & AI scripts: unlock the members section using the book, or message Craig on LinkedIn if you bought the audio version.If you're tired of canned discovery, bad qualification, and random acts of prospecting, this conversation will change how you think about mission, AI, and what “elite selling” really looks like.

Der Schwingerkönig Stucki Chrigu trifft bei Olivia Röllin in Zürich auf die Unternehmerin Magdalena Martullo-Blocher. Christian Stucki (41) oder Stucki Chrigu, wie er sich selbst nennt, ist einer der erfolgreichsten Schwinger der Gegenwart: Schwingerkönig 2019, Gewinner von zahlreichen Kranzfesten sowie des Kilchberger- und des Unspunnen-Schwingets – der seltene «Schwinger-Grand-Slam». Hätte man ihm mit 18 gesagt, dass er einmal eine Familie mit Schwingen ernähren würde, hätte er geantwortet: «Hesch en Flick weg?» – trotzdem ist es genau so gekommen. 2023 beendete der gelernte Forstwart nach über 30 Jahren im Sägemehl seine aktive Karriere, auch aufgrund von körperlichen Beschwerden. Heute teilt er sich mit seiner Frau die Familien- und Erwerbsarbeit, arbeitet mit verschiedenen Werbepartnern zusammen und ist für einen Sackmesserhersteller tätig – am liebsten aber kocht oder fischt er. ___________________________________________ Magdalena Martullo-Blocher (56) ist Unternehmerin, Nationalrätin der SVP für den Kanton Graubünden und Chefin der international tätigen EMS-Chemie-Gruppe. Sie gehört zu den reichsten Schweizerinnen, behauptet von sich aber, sie habe gar keine Zeit, Geld auszugeben, und wohnt bis heute im ehemaligen Elternhaus am Zürichsee. Aufgewachsen am See und verwurzelt in Graubünden, pendelt sie seit über zwanzig Jahren zwischen Familienleben, globalem Management und Bundeshaus. Dabei wollte sie ursprünglich Schriftstellerin werden. Entspannung findet sie in den Bergen, in der Natur oder auf Reisen in andere Kulturen, etwa nach China. Legendär ist sie für ihre pointierten Sprüche, die man sich in den sozialen Medien tausendfach angeschaut hat. ________________________________________ Magdalena Martullo-Blocher und Christian Stucki sind zu Gast bei Olivia Röllin am Sonntag, 22.

The discussion centers on the implementation challenges and partner enablement strategies for artificial intelligence (AI) within the technology channel. According to TD Synnex's AI Accelerator program, only a small portion of AI projects achieve active deployment and measurable ROI, with widespread difficulties cited in scaling complex AI use cases. Jessica Yeck, SVP of Vendor Solutions at TD Synnex, highlights that progress is contingent upon engaging partners at their current state of AI readiness and aligning support resources accordingly. The evidence reflects a move away from one-size-fits-all approaches toward tailored frameworks that focus on tangible business outcomes and repeatable processes. TD Synnex's revised strategy prioritizes meeting partners “where they are,” using assessment frameworks that differentiate between partners with defined AI strategies and those seeking foundational guidance. Jessica Yeck references leveraging the broader technology ecosystem—including vendors, ISVs, and hyperscalers—to deliver solutions with multi-party input. This approach enables partners to identify actionable opportunities and develop pipelines, but demands cross-functional collaboration and technical-specialist engagement, particularly as customization—rather than rigid standardization—is required for effective deployment. The episode also addresses the evolving role of technology distribution in supporting partners beyond logistics. There is explicit recognition of the importance of financial mechanisms, marketplace access, and consultative guidance for services. Jessica Yeck underscores the interconnectedness of relationship-building, competency focus, and ecosystem utilization, noting that partners do not need exhaustive in-house technical skills if they can identify and collaborate with relevant specialists. This points to a strategic shift in what services and value partners can realistically deliver. For MSPs and IT service providers, the key implications involve re-evaluating approaches to AI enablement and partner relations. Instead of prioritizing technical uniformity or attempting to master every subsystem, providers should invest in relationship management and focused competency development while leveraging broader ecosystem resources. Adoption risk is reduced when partners clearly understand their customers' primary objectives and are prepared to orchestrate service delivery with targeted technical and financial support from their distribution networks. The episode reiterates that risk and accountability in AI projects hinge on practical readiness, process discipline, and honest assessment of operational capabilities, rather than technology enthusiasm or over-reliance on standardized templates.

Mit der SRG-Initiative soll die Medienabgabe gesenkt werden. Damit würden Haushalte und Unternehmen entlastet, betonen die Befürworter. Die Gegnerinnen warnen: Die Initiative schwäche den Zugang zu verlässlicher Information. Am 8. März kommt die SRG-Initiative – auch Halbierungsinitiative genannt – zur Abstimmung. Sie verlangt, dass die von allen Haushalten zu entrichtende Medienabgabe auf 200 Franken pro Jahr gesenkt wird. Zudem sollen alle Unternehmen von der Abgabe befreit werden. Das würde gemäss Prognosen des Bundesamts für Kommunikation dazu führen, dass die SRG ab 2029 noch rund 630 Millionen Franken aus der Abgabe erhalten würde: Also rund halb so viel wie bisher. Parlament und Bundesrat lehnen die Initiative ab. Der Bundesrat hat allerdings ein Gegenprojekt auf Verordnungsstufe beschlossen: Die Abgabe für die Privathaushalte sinkt bis 2029 von heute 335 Franken schrittweise auf 300 Franken. Zudem werden Unternehmen entlastet, künftig zahlt statt jedes dritte rund jedes fünfte Unternehmen eine Abgabe. Entlastung der Bevölkerung oder Angriff auf Vielfalt und Qualität? Die Befürworter der Initiative – darunter die SVP, die Jungfreisinnigen und der Gewerbeverband – betonen: Die Gebührensenkung entlaste die Bevölkerung und das Gewerbe. Zudem sorge die Initiative dafür, dass sich die SRG auf ihren Kernauftrag des Service public fokussiere. Gemäss Initiativtext soll die SRG mit der Abgabe Radio- und Fernsehprogramme finanzieren, die «einen unerlässlichen Dienst für die Allgemeinheit erbringen». Die Gegenseite – darunter zahlreiche Verbände sowie FDP, Mitte, GLP, SP und Grüne – warnt: Die Initiative gefährde das vielfältige und qualitativ gute Angebot der SRG in allen Sprachregionen und würde sie zu einem «radikalen Abbau» zwingen. Zudem müsse die SRG auch ohne die Initiative bereits sparen – das Gegenprojekt des Bundesrats ist beschlossene Sache. Welche Folgen hätte die Initiative für die SRG? Und ist es gerechtfertigt, dass sowohl Haushalte als auch Unternehmen eine Medienabgabe zahlen? Zu diesen Fragen begrüsst Sandro Brotz am 20. Februar 2026 in der «Abstimmungs-Arena» als Befürworterinnen und Befürworter der Vorlage: – Gregor Rutz, Nationalrat SVP/ZH; – Melanie Racine, Vizepräsidentin Jungfreisinnige; – Jan Koch, Vizepräsident Bündner Gewerbeverband und Grossrat SVP/GR; und – Urs Furrer, Direktor Schweizerischer Gewerbeverband. Gegen die Vorlage treten an: – Albert Rösti, Bundesrat und Vorsteher Uvek; – Priska Wismer-Felder, Nationalrätin Die Mitte/LU; – Jon Pult, Vizepräsident SP; und – Susanne Wille, Generaldirektorin SRG.
In this episode, Debra Jaeger, SVP and Chief Revenue Officer at Mount Sinai, shares how she is unifying fragmented revenue operations, improving cash collections and denials, and leveraging AI, predictive analytics, and workforce development to modernize the revenue cycle and enhance the patient financial experience.
In this episode of Reboot IT, host Dave Coriale, President of DelCor, sits down with David Stephenson, SVP of Technology at Entrepreneurs' Organization, to unpack what true collaboration really means in associations and nonprofits. Together, they explore the difference between transactional vendor relationships and deep strategic partnerships, how to build psychological safety within project teams, and why honest dialogue is essential for successful outcomes. David also shares practical tactics for selecting partners, navigating conflict, and reducing organizational risk through collaborative practices.Themes and Topics:What Collaboration Really Is (and Isn't)Collaboration isn't about being nice or making sure “everyone's at the table.” It's about having the right mix of people with different perspectives.When everyone thinks the same and has the same motivations, you end up with polite agreement, not real progress.There's a big difference between just enlarging a meeting and actually collaborating with intention.Getting the Right Mix: Staff, Members, Vendors, and PartnersAssociations juggle vendors, partners, staff, and members, each with different levels of involvement and motivation.David distinguishes between people who are in the weeds with you (like design and development partners) and those who play a key but more behind‑the‑scenes role (like hosting providers).Upfront, he works to get everyone on the same page: What problem are we solving? What role do you play? What's your motive (and recognizing that everyone has one, and that's okay)?Vendors vs. Partners: Building the Right Kind of RelationshipIn his head, David does see a spectrum: some are more transactional services (SaaS products, integration tools), while others are strategic partners who need to understand mission, business objectives, and strategy.He tries not to use the word vendor in conversation and instead works to make everyone feel like a partner, even if their role is more narrow.When negotiating, he looks for a fair outcome on both sides — if a partner walks away with “really thin margins,” you end up with constant “change order” moments and a strained dynamic from day one.Honest Dialogue, Healthy Friction, and Psychological SafetyDavid values partners who can say things like “That's just not possible,” or “That doesn't align with the strategy you described,” instead of always saying yes.He expects and welcomes friction and hard conversations around timelines, costs, and expectations. If there's zero friction, something's probably off.Psychological safety is key: people need to feel they can disagree, say “I don't think this is working,” or ask tough questions without fearing for their job, contract, or relationship.Doing the Work: Projects, Postmortems, and “Disagree but Commit”David admits he hasn't “cracked the code” on postmortems, but he knows they only work if people feel safe enough to speak up during the project, not just after.When collaboration is done well, it may feel slow at the beginning, but it ultimately makes the work go faster and smoother than siloed, go-it-alone approaches.He likes setting expectations from the start: speak up when it's “cheap to disagree,” and embrace the idea of “disagree, but commit” so the team can move forward with one voice.Collaboration as Risk Reduction for the FutureDavid sees collaboration as a way to de‑risk his future; the stronger his network and partnerships, the better prepared he is for what's coming.Staying insular and only looking inside your own team or organization raises your risk, especially in fast-changing areas like technology and AI.By collaborating widely and intentionally, associati
At CES in Las Vegas, Tim Finnigan takes The Marketing Rapport on the road to examine how marketing teams are adapting to AI, data, and shifting buyer behavior.

The Big Unlock · Dr. Andrea Willis, SVP & Chief Medical Officer, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee In this episode, Dr. Andrea Willis, SVP and Chief Medical Officer at BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, shares how payers can harness AI to advance affordable, accessible, and more human-centered care. From her clinical roots to leading population health, quality, and health equity initiatives, Dr. Willis brings a deeply personal commitment to service. She describes how AI is being deployed across care management and utilization management, not to replace clinicians or deny care, but to augment teams, accelerate evidence-based decisions, and close gaps in care. In care management, AI-powered summarization and prompting help staff stay fully present with members while improving engagement and measurable outcomes. In utilization management, transparency, evidence-based criteria, and clear documentation remain foundational to rebuilding provider trust. She also highlights that relevance matters more than data volume, and that guided self-service must balance automation with timely human escalation. Dr. Willis emphasizes transparency in prior authorization, cross-functional governance, AI literacy goals across the enterprise, and strong PHI protections. For here, scaling AI responsibly – through interoperability, collaboration, and measurable impact – is key to rebuilding trust and transforming the healthcare experience. Take a listen.

Manufacturers do not have a data problem. They have an execution gap. The dashboards exist. The reports are generated. The KPIs are reviewed. Yet too often, action stalls between insight and impact. In this episode, Jan Griffiths and Tom Roberts sit down with Zack Sosebee, SVP of Operations & Customer Success at Redzone, to explore what changes when data moves beyond visibility and into the hands of the people closest to the work.Zack shares a clear and practical vision of the connected workforce. Not as another layer of software. Not as another reporting system. But as a system of action. By giving frontline operators simple, real-time visibility through red, yellow, and green performance signals, manufacturers create clarity in the moment decisions are being made. That clarity builds accountability. And accountability drives results.What makes this approach powerful is its simplicity. Instead of overwhelming teams with endless metrics, Redzone focuses on a few meaningful signals that operators can influence hour by hour. When teams see performance in real time, they respond in real time. Maintenance is called sooner. Problems are escalated faster. Peer-to-peer competition becomes a positive force. Execution accelerates because ownership shifts to the frontline.But technology alone does not transform a factory. Coaching does. Zack explains how culture change happens when leaders reinforce new behaviors, close feedback loops, and respond quickly to issues raised by operators. When a long-tenured employee logs a safety concern and sees it fixed the same day, trust is built. When a retiring expert captures knowledge that strengthens the next generation, pride returns to the shop floor. These are not software wins. They are human wins.This conversation is a reminder that digital transformation is not about collecting more data. It is about empowering people to act with confidence and clarity. When operators think like supervisors and supervisors think like leaders, performance improves. More importantly, culture evolves. And in today's manufacturing environment, the companies that win will be the ones that move from reporting yesterday to deciding what happens next.Themes Discussed in This EpisodeWhat “connected workforce” really means in manufacturingWhy digital transformation often stalls at dashboardsOverall Equipment Effectiveness explained in simple termsRed, yellow, green real-time visibility on the shop floorCoaching vs training in culture changeTurning skeptics into championsEliminating paper logs and manual downtime reportingUsing simplicity to accelerate adoptionTechnology as an enabler of ownership, not oversightEmpowering operators to think like leadersFeatured GuestName: Zack SosebeeTitle: SVP Operations & Customer Success, RedzoneAbout: Zack is Senior VP of Operations & Customer Success at

Fraud hasn't disappeared - it got smarter. Organized rings now aim upstream at SaaS platforms and ISVs that embed payments, where a single gap in onboarding, transaction logic, or refund flows can be scaled into thousands of attacks overnight. We sit down with Brian Rust, SVP and Deputy Chief Information Security Officer at Worldpay, to map the real fraud journey (entry, action, exit) and the concrete moves product and security leaders can make right now to protect merchants and brand trust.We start with the why: platforms offer leverage. Brian explains how bots and AI generate convincing synthetic businesses that pass weak KYC, and what early signals still break the spell - impossible form completion times, IP and address mismatches, and brand-new domains claiming long histories. From there, we dive into the middle of the kill chain: card testing. You'll hear how velocity spikes, elevated decline rates, and geo anomalies betray large-scale testing and how adaptive limits for new merchants can contain losses and prevent network penalties. Then we confront refund abuse, where attackers exploit trust by refunding to different instruments or flooding high-value returns. The fix isn't blanket friction - it's precision: refund-to-original-card only, refund velocity caps, and targeted reviews that slow bad actors while keeping good customers moving.Brian lays out the layers that matter now: device fingerprinting, behavioral analytics, and transaction monitoring that can halt suspect money movement before funds leave your orbit. He also makes the case for a fraud-cyber fusion model, aligning teams and intelligence using frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK to anticipate tactics as cyber and financial motives blend. Finally, we close with three actions you can ship this quarter: audit onboarding with bot controls and threat modeling, enforce velocity controls that adapt as trust grows, and tap your processor's data and filters (AVS, CVV) to harden defaults.If you lead product, risk, or engineering for a payments-enabled platform, this conversation gives you a practical blueprint to raise attacker costs, protect your merchants, and guard your reputation.

What if the best way to lead product is to build it yourself first?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Chase Schwalbach, SVP of Product and Technology at Millie, to unpack a radically different approach to product leadership. Despite his title, Chase spent months as an IC, rolling up his sleeves to build healthcare infrastructure, teach himself AI eval systems, and ship a sophisticated patient chatbot, all before bringing his team in. He explains why shielding the team from early-stage messiness, moving at speed, and feeling the pain yourself leads to better products.They explore how Chase built a team of AI agents (supervisor + specialized sub-agents) from scratch, why treating prompts like deterministic code requires extreme precision, and how he taught himself evals through pure iteration. Plus, the converging worlds of PM and engineering, why technical PMs and product-minded engineers are becoming the same role, why handoffs kill velocity in an AI-native world, and what “context engineering” actually means when your codebase needs to work for both humans and AI agents.If you're a product leader wondering whether to get more hands-on, an engineer considering the jump to PM (or vice versa), or building AI systems in regulated industries like healthcare, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Am 14. Juni kommt die Initiative «Keine 10-Millionen-Schweiz!» der SVP zur Abstimmung. Die SP spricht von einer «Chaos-Initiative». Was aber hat sie Besseres zu bieten? Samira Marti, Co-Präsidentin der SP-Fraktion, nimmt Stellung. Die SVP will in der Bundesverfassung festschreiben, dass die Wohnbevölkerung der Schweiz die Zahl von 10 Millionen Menschen vor dem Jahr 2050 nicht überschreiten darf. Die SP lehnt das kategorisch ab und hat im Parlament auch einen milderen Gegenvorschlag verhindert. Dies, obschon die Zuwanderung gemäss Umfragen seit Jahren zu den grössten Sorgen der Schweizer Bevölkerung gehört. Die Co-Präsidentin der SP-Fraktion wird in der «Samstagsrundschau» mit der Frage konfrontiert, ob ihre Partei diese Ängste nicht ernst nimmt. Zudem verrät Samira Marti, wie ihre Partei mit der Situation umgeht, dass der Bundesrat die Mehrwertsteuer nicht nur zur Finanzierung der 13. AHV-Rente, sondern auch zur Aufstockung des Armeebudgets erhöhen will. Die Co-Präsidentin der SP-Fraktion stellt sich den Fragen von Philipp Burkhardt. Ergänzend zum "Tagesgespräch" finden Sie jeden Samstag in unserem Kanal die aktuelle "Samstagsrundschau".

SVP and Stanford Steve are back to break down the Super Bowl from all angles, discuss Steve's recent Disney trip, the Olympics and more. It wasn't the most entertaining game to say the least, but the Seahawks' defense deserves a ton of credit for capping off a great season with a historic performance. The guys also give Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III his flowers and also acknowledge Sam Darnold's clean play throughout the postseason. On the Patriots side of things, it's easy to say they'll be back, but we've said that before... Then, a word on the Halftime Show discussion, Steve's buffalo wing streak has sadly ended, a Disney trip recap and why SVP may not be taking two red eyes in a five-day span any time soon. Plus, tales from Manhattan Beach, thoughts on the current happenings in the NBA, Lindsey Vonn's decision to give it a go, SVP's favorite Super Bowl commercial and more. | SVPod Time Codes/Topics (0:00) Intro (2:00) SB LX Recap (23:08) About the halftime show (24:50) Steve's buffalo wing streak is over (26:55) No more squares pools (27:37) More on the halftime show (29:04) Pro Bowl recap (29:45) Boomer is the best (31:34) A week in review… (38:00) NEW MERCH (39:34) SVP watched the Miracle doc!
