Ten years after joining the company, Folkert reflects on the journey from a Dutch SME mortgage platform to a business with European ambitions. We talk about why predictable investments are becoming more relevant, how customer feedback continues to shape new products, and what it takes to keep growing while maintaining a strong focus on risk management. The conversation also covers Mogelijk's expansion into Belgium and Germany, the growing role of European regulation, the balance between institutional and private investors, and the opportunities Folkert sees for the years ahead.

In this extra episode of Leaders in Finance, Jeroen Broekema speaks with Lenhard Hübscher, Country Lead Benelux & France at Riverty, about the company's recent acquisition of a European banking licence. They discuss why Riverty decided to become a bank, what the licence changes in practice, and why the company has no ambition to become a traditional retail bank. Instead, the conversation focuses on embedded finance, the future of Buy Now, Pay Later, and Riverty's strategy to support merchants across Europe. Lenhard also reflects on the licensing process itself, the choice for Luxembourg, the increasing role of regulation in fintech, and Riverty's plans for further growth in consumer finance and European expansion. *** Leaders in Finance is made possible by the support of EY, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, Duna and Lepaya.

Welcome to this extra episode of the Leaders in Finance Podcast, recorded live after the fourth Leaders in Finance Cybersecurity Event at Kontakt der Kontinenten in Soesterberg, where over 100 participants from more than 50 organisations came together to discuss one of the defining challenges for the financial sector: building cyber resilience in an increasingly uncertain world. Host Kees de Wit reflects on the day's key themes together with Rudrani Djwalapersad (Partner, Cyber Security Financial Services, EY), Ricardo Ferreira (Field CISO EMEA, Fortinet), Deepak Rambhadja (Sales Engineer, Rubrik), and Marcel van Leent (Security Leader, ABN AMRO Clearing Bank). Together, they discuss why cybersecurity has become a board-level topic, how AI is changing both the offensive and defensive side of cyber, and why organisations need to move beyond compliance checklists towards true resilience. They also reflect on lessons from Ukraine's largest bank, the importance of automation, data governance and public-private partnerships, and why resilience ultimately depends as much on people, collaboration and culture as it does on technology. And looking ahead: how can organisations move from awareness to action, break down silos, and bring more business leaders into the cybersecurity conversation? A big thank you to all speakers, participants and our event partners for making this another inspiring edition of the Leaders in Finance Cybersecurity Event. *** Leaders in Finance is made possible by the support of EY, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, Duna and Lepaya.

Welcome to this extra episode of the Leaders in Finance Podcast, recorded live after the third Leaders in Finance AI Event at Pakhuis de Zwijger in Amsterdam. Following a day of keynotes and discussions, host Kees de Wit is joined by Menno Bonninga (Partner at EY Consulting and EY Netherlands AI Lead), Bira Thanabalasingam (Managing Director at Yellowtail Conclusion), Kyriakos Fistos (AI & Analytics Advisor at SAS), and Yorick Naeff (Chief Innovation Officer at ABN AMRO) to reflect on some of the biggest questions facing financial institutions as AI moves from experimentation towards everyday business. Why do so many AI initiatives still struggle to scale? Why is data quality often a bigger challenge than the AI models themselves? And how do large financial institutions balance innovation with governance, regulation and decades of legacy systems? The conversation explores the rise of agentic AI, the difference between trust and customer loyalty, why organisations should stop chasing the latest models and instead start with strategy, and how AI is forcing banks to rethink not only their technology, but also their operating models, workforce and long-term role in society. One theme returns throughout the discussion: successful AI transformation is ultimately less about technology than about people, leadership and making the right organisational choices.

In het tweede deel van Cryptocast 434 staat Hyperliquid centraal, de decentrale beurs die uitgroeit tot een van de grootste namen in de sector. Te gast is Pim Swart van durfkapitaalfonds Maven 11, dat investeert in jonge cryptobedrijven en volgende week tijdens de Dutch Blockchain Week een evenement met Hyperliquid organiseert. Naast hem zit co-host Bert Slagter, analist bij Bitcoin Alpha. Kees Dorresteijn presenteert. Hyperliquid is een decentrale exchange waar je vooral handelt in perpetuals, futurescontracten zonder einddatum waarmee je met een hefboom long of short kunt gaan. Het platform draait 24 uur per dag en biedt naast spothandel ook eigen markten via HIP-3, waarop bijvoorbeeld de S&P 500, goud of aandelen van bedrijven die nog niet naar de beurs zijn verhandeld worden. Die laatste categorie leverde veel aandacht op. Toen SpaceX vorige week naar de beurs ging, kon je het aandeel in het weekend al op Hyperliquid verhandelen. Eerder gebeurde iets vergelijkbaars met olie tijdens de spanningen rond de Straat van Hormuz, toen de reguliere markten dicht waren maar Hyperliquid een actuele prijs bleef tonen. Swart legt uit waarom het zo hard groeit. Het volume steeg in een jaar van ongeveer 200 naar 300 miljard dollar per maand, en het platform doet inmiddels zo'n 17 procent van het volume van Binance. Het team telt nog steeds maar veertien mensen, wat het volgens Swart per werknemer een van de winstgevendste bedrijven maakt. Voordelen ten opzichte van een Robinhood of Coinbase zijn de lage kosten van vijf basispunten, het ontbreken van KYC en een ruimer aanbod aan assets. Daarna gaat het over de HYPE token en de vraag wie de waarde van het netwerk vangt. Hyperliquid haalde nooit geld op bij investeerders en gaf in plaats daarvan 30 procent van de tokens weg aan vroege gebruikers. Het bedrijf gebruikt het grootste deel van de handelsinkomsten om tokens terug te kopen en te verbranden, vergelijkbaar met een aandeleninkoop. Daardoor gedraagt de token zich bijna als aandeel. Tot slot kijken Swart en Slagter vooruit naar de regulering, de concurrentie van traditionele handelshuizen en de vraag of oprichter Jeff Yan het bedrijf door dat speelveld kan navigeren. Yan, voormalig handelaar bij Hudson River Trading, spreekt volgende week op de Dutch Blockchain Week. Co-host is Bert Slagter. Over de podcast Cryptocurrency are here to stay.

A Fox News regular runs a company that sells paid protesters to the highest bidder. We sat him down and asked about the bodies, the lawsuits, and the crowds he says he can manufacture for anyone willing to pay. Adam Swart is the founder of Crowds on Demand, a Beverly Hills firm that supplies actors and paid demonstrators for protests, hearings and PR stunts. He has spent the past year on Fox News, Newsmax and OANN telling conservative audiences that the protests against Donald Trump are organised, funded and fake. The catch is that manufacturing protest for money is, by his own account, the entire business. This drops the morning after Trump turned his 80th birthday into a cage fight on the White House lawn, while millions took to the streets in a fresh round of No Kings protests. So we dug into the real history of Crowds on Demand: paid actors posing as Hurricane Katrina survivors at a council hearing, a federal racketeering lawsuit settled with a published apology, a recruitment drive for people hired purely to intimidate, and an unverifiable claim that someone once offered Swart millions to fake an anti-Trump crowd. It is not a hit job. He comes with some genuinely interesting anecdotes, including work his company says it did for people who use PrEP, and the conversation finds real common ground before it asks the harder questions his usual bookers never do.

This week, Lynn Swart shares a message from Genesis 22:1–18 titled "How's Your Posture?" Drawing from the story of Abraham and Isaac on Mount Moriah, Lynn invites the congregation to examine the inward disposition of their hearts — not just what they believe, but how they are standing before God in this season.Lynn walks through the narrative of Abraham's supreme test with careful attention to its spiritual mechanics. She identifies three interlocking postures that defined Abraham's obedience: reverence for God, confidence in God's faithfulness, and wholehearted surrender — noting that Abraham's response was prompt, complete, and without hesitation. From there, Lynn unpacks the significance of the three-day journey to Moriah, the weight of leaving the servants at the base of the mountain, and Isaac's trust as his father lifted the knife. She draws a striking prophetic thread from Abraham's declaration — "God himself will provide the lamb" — straight to Calvary, and from Jehovah Jireh straight to the present: on the mountain of the Lord, it will be provided. Lynn closes the sermon by calling the church to examine where they may have settled for delayed, partial, or murmuring obedience, and to posture themselves for what God is doing next.The sermon's theological anchor is the inseparability of posture and promise. Lynn makes clear that promise is not inherited casually — it is entered intentionally, through the surrendered posture of a heart that says yes before it understands. As she puts it, every decision determines the direction we walk and the destiny we reach. Abraham descended the mountain not with less than he had carried up, but with more — revelation, provision, and a deeper knowledge of his God.Ultimately, this message is an invitation to examine the posture of your own heart before the Lord. Are you responding to what God is saying with a "Yes, Lord" — or hedging, delaying, or holding something back from the altar? Lynn calls each listener to a holy surrender: not driven by emotion, but by conviction that on the mountain of the Lord, whatever is needed will be found.
Are you feeling stuck, powerless, or trapped in a system of your own making? Modern culture promises freedom, but often leaves us carrying heavy burdens of debt, stress, and anxiety.In this message, we unpack Exodus 12-14 to explore the literal and spiritual journey from slavery to true freedom. From the global mission fields of Armenia to the ancient story of the Passover and the Red Sea, learn about the cost God was willing to pay to rescue you—and what it takes for us to finally walk out of Egypt.Be sure to follow 614 Church online:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/614_church/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/614church/Website: https://www.614church.orgTo support our ministry, https://614church.org/give/To fill out a contact card so we can stay in touch, click the link below!https://614.churchcenter.com/people/forms/283193Until Everyone Knows Jesus.
Greg Kelly interviews Adam Swart, the founder of Crowds on Demand, a service that provides professional advocacy and participants for various public causes. Swart explains how his business has evolved from hiring actors to recruiting passionate participants who can represent the "silent majority" against vocal radical minorities. He argues that paid or organized protests are necessary because common-sense citizens often face a high opportunity cost due to jobs and families, whereas their ideological opponents frequently have more free time. The conversation explores the ethics and tactics of asymmetric advocacy, including protesting at exclusive locations like country clubs to exert pressure on powerful figures.

In this extra episode of Leaders in Finance, Jeroen Broekema speaks with Chris Lovett (executive coach, author, and speaker) about his new book Relentless: The Power of Doing Less in a Workplace that Demands More. Together they discuss burnout, overwork, boundaries, deep work, meeting culture, the psychology behind saying yes too often, and why modern professionals increasingly struggle with time, focus, and energy. Chris also shares practical insights on strategic rest, leadership, decision-making, and creating space for what truly matters — both professionally and personally. *** Leaders in Finance is made possible by the support of EY, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, Duna and Lepaya.

Louis, welcome to Teatime with Miss Liz. ”Closing SummaryLouis Swart reminds us that true success is not measured only by productivity or profit — it is measured by sustainability, balance, and the ability to live fully while building something meaningful.

In this episode, I sit down with Adam Swart, founder of Crowds on Demand—a company that openly organizes protests, demonstrations, and large-scale advocacy campaigns across the U.S. We break down how modern influence actually works, what's real vs. misunderstood about “paid protests,” and—more importantly—how everyday people can use the same playbook to advocate for themselves. This isn't theory. This is the mechanics behind manufactured momentum, public pressure, and perception shaping—from grassroots to corporate to political.⚡ Key Themes & Takeaways

This episode of the Influential Voices of Authority Podcast features host Erik K. Johnson and guest Louis Swart, a serial entrepreneur who has mastered the art of leveraging teams and systems to scale businesses and build undeniable authority in any niche.

Jonathan Thomas is joined by Dr Chloe Swart the National Director of Alpha UK. It's a course that helps people explore the Christian faith, and which just last year was used by nearly three million people across one hundred and fifty-eight countries. Dr Swart is also a theologian and Church leader. Her first book, “605 Everyday Miracles – Learning to do what Jesus Did, Today” is taken from her phd research. It's based on hundreds of first hand accounts of healing. People who claim they had or witnessed all sorts of conditions from sciatica to cancer improved and even completely healed through the power of prayer. Not necessarily in churches but everyday places like fast food restaurants, bus stops and gyms. She talks about what she discovered in her research and what she sees happening in the church across Wales and the UK.

EPISODE FRICKIN 300 BABY! Stoked to ring in this momentous occasion with Dave Swart from New Buffalo. A legendary shop, a legendary dude, you're gonna love this one. Topics of discussion include: Going from IT to learning production, how company culture changes, the print truck, live events, opening a shop in Honduras, printing for major brands like Disney and Nike, getting acquired by Gildan, screen printing variables, getting the New Buffalo band back together, Ted Lassoing life, goals for 2026, insurance claims, and bike rides.
From abolitionists to the Tea Party, accusations of “paid protesters” have shadowed American political movements for centuries. But what if the reality is more nuanced (and more interesting) than the talking points suggest? In this episode, Andy Mills sits down with Adam Swart, founder and CEO of Crowds on Demand, a company that quite literally pays people to demonstrate. Swart pulls back the curtain on an industry most people encounter only as a conspiracy theory, explaining how his business actually works. As you'll hear, Swart makes his provocative case that the “astroturf vs. grassroots” debate is a juvenile distraction. He believes that most major movements, left or right, have big money behind them, and that his company is simply one of the more transparent players in the influence game. We'd love to hear if (and how) this interview shapes your thinking around the debate.

Purple Political Breakdown host Radell Lewis sits down with Adam Swart, founder and CEO of Crowds on Demand the country's largest protest and advocacy firm for an eye-opening conversation about the state of protesting in America. With ICE protests dominating headlines and tensions escalating between civilians and law enforcement, this episode delivers the insight you need right now.Adam brings over a decade of experience organizing high-profile protests and advocacy campaigns across the political spectrum. Featured on Fox News, Fox Business, NewsNation, OAN, and Newsmax, his takes on modern activism have drawn millions of views and sparked national debate about transparency, funding, and ethics in protest movements.After more than a decade inside the protest-organizing world, Adam is sounding the alarm. Modern demonstrations have shifted from grassroots expression to highly coordinated operations driven by money, messaging, and strategic optics. He reveals that requests to hire or coordinate demonstrators have surged over 400% in recent years, tied to flashpoint issues from immigration and energy policy to foreign conflicts. Adam breaks down how professional demonstrators, nonprofit pass-throughs, and activist contractors operate behind the scenes and why hidden funding, not paid protesting itself, is the real threat to public trust.Adam and Radell dive into your First Amendment rights as a protester what you can do without a permit, how to navigate police interactions, and why violence, vandalism, and blocking streets will always hurt your cause. They tackle de-escalation from both sides, examining why ICE agents' approach has drawn widespread criticism and what law enforcement should be doing differently. The conversation also covers cancel culture hypocrisy from both the left and right, celebrity double standards on climate change, and why Venezuela's history of U.S. influence campaigns estimated near $1 billion between 2004 and 2009 provides critical context for understanding today's protest landscape.Adam introduces two major proposals: the Protesters' Bill of Rights and Responsibilities, a framework holding both demonstrators and authorities accountable, and the Transparency in Political Demonstrations Act (TPDA), legislation he authored and submitted to Congress. The TPDA protects peaceful protest while requiring basic funding disclosure for large coordinated demonstrations of 500 or more participants targeting who funds and organizes protests, not what people say.Whether you're planning to hit the streets, organizing your community, or just trying to understand your rights in today's political climate, this episode is essential listening.Topics discussed: protest rights, ICE protests 2025, First Amendment protections, peaceful protest tips, de-escalation techniques, paid protests, paid activism, protest funding transparency, cancel culture, free speech, police accountability, defund the police, Protesters' Bill of Rights, Transparency in Political Demonstrations Act, TPDA, advocacy strategies, protest organizing, civil rights, Trump administration, BLM protests, Venezuela influence campaigns, climate change activism, Crowds on Demand, nonprofit pass-throughs, professional demonstratorsListen to Purple Political Breakdown political solutions without political bias.

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die regering hersien die raamwerk vir breedgebaseerde swart ekonomiese bemagtiging om dit meer doeltreffend te maak vir die bevordering van inklusiewe groei. Die doel is om meer geleenthede vir swartnywerhede en -vrouebestuurders te skep, ongelykheid te verminder en te verseker dat meer Suid-Afrikaners voordeel trek uit ekonomiese groei.

In this special service, Pastor David explores the biblical roots of "Holy Convocations" from Leviticus 23 and why setting aside dedicated time for God—through conferences and fasting—can permanently alter the trajectory of your life.We also hear a breathtaking testimony from Coral Jones, whose "yes" at a previous conference led to a miraculous series of events involving a specific man-made island in South Korea and a nine-minute connection seven years in the making.Be sure to follow 614 Church online:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/614_church/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/614church/Website: https://www.614church.orgTo support our ministry, https://614church.org/give/To fill out a contact card so we can stay in touch, click the link below!https://614.churchcenter.com/people/forms/283193Until Everyone Knows Jesus.
Are you trying to build your life without a guide? In this message, we dive into Genesis 2 to look at the "Millennium Falcon" picture of God's original design. Before the world got complicated, God established a clear roadmap for our work, our relationships, and our identity.Whether you're feeling isolated, stuck in your career, or navigating the complexities of modern dating and marriage, this sermon offers a refreshing look at what it means to "work it and keep it" in the image of God.
In this foundational message, David Swart dives into Genesis 1 to move beyond the typical "science vs. faith" debate and uncover the profound "Why" behind our existence. He explores the Hebrew concept of Tove (Good), revealing that God's creation isn't just aesthetically pleasing, but perfectly ordered for human flourishing. By unpacking the Imago Dei (Image of God) and the original mandate to subdue and rule, Swart challenges us to see our work, relationships, and identity through the lens of God's royal representation. The sermon concludes by linking the original mandate of Genesis to the Great Commission of Matthew, calling us to be renewed image-bearers who fill the world with the presence of Jesus.Be sure to follow 614 Church online:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/614_church/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/614church/Website: https://www.614church.orgTo support our ministry, https://614church.org/give/To fill out a contact card so we can stay in touch, click the link below!https://614.churchcenter.com/people/forms/283193Until Everyone Knows Jesus.0:00 – Defining Our Biblical Worldview and Purpose0:51 – The Rhythm of Forming and Filling Creation3:05 – Beyond Science: Who Created and Why?4:25 – Understanding Tove: Functional Goodness and Flourishing9:58 – Imago Dei: Mirroring the Nature of God15:54 – Royal Representatives: Stewarding the King's World18:08 – The Mandate: Cultivation Over Exploitation23:38 – Great Commission: Filling Earth With Disciples
Send us a textKyle Talks with Adam Swart, CEO of Crowds on DemandIn this episode of Kyle Talks, I sit down with Adam Swart, the founder and CEO of Crowds on Demand, a company that organizes and manages demonstrations, rallies, and public advocacy campaigns.This is a conversation I went into without a fixed conclusion — and that's intentional.Adam's work exists at the intersection of belief, optics, influence, and ethics. Some people see it as strategic messaging. Others see it as manipulation. Rather than tell you what to think, this episode is about slowing down and actually talking through the discomfort.In this conversation, we explore:• How modern protests and public movements are organized • The difference between organic expression and coordinated messaging • Why being paid to advocate feels morally complicated to many people • Where Adam personally draws ethical lines in his work • Whether compensation invalidates belief or participation • How media optics shape what the public perceives as “authentic” • What this industry reveals about human motivation and persuasion • How listeners can stay curious without becoming cynicalThis episode isn't about defending or condemning an industry. It's about understanding how influence works and what it means for all of us trying to navigate public conversations honestly.If you've ever found yourself unsure how to feel about modern activism, messaging, or protest culture — this conversation is for you.About the GuestAdam Swart is the founder and CEO of Crowds on Demand, a firm that specializes in organizing advocacy campaigns, demonstrations, and public engagement efforts across a wide range of issues.His work has been featured by major media outlets, and he brings firsthand insight into how modern public movements are built, funded, and presented to the world.Why This Episode MattersKyle Talks exists to bring back the art of conversation — especially around topics that are uncomfortable, polarizing, or misunderstood.This episode asks a simple but difficult question:If a message is true, but engineered, does it change how you feel about it?If this conversation challenged you, intrigued you, or made you pause — that's the point.Let's talk.Social Media:Insta/X: kyleTHEhortonYoutube: KyletalkssTiktok: KyleTalkssIntro: Head In The Clouds by Matthew MorelockOutro: Surfaces Type Beat - Jellyfish BeatsSupport the show
Adam Swart is the founder and CEO of Crowds on Demand — a company that literally organizes protests, rallies, and PR stunts for clients across the U.S. In this interesting conversation, Henry and Danny dig into how this shadowy industry actually works: who pays for demonstrations, how they're staffed, and where ethics fit in when civic action becomes a paid service. Swart claims his firm turned down $20 million in offers to organize anti-Trump protests, and insists “paid protestors” aren't what conspiracy theories make them out to be.But Danny pushes back — asking whether commodifying civic activism cheapens democracy itself.
