Podcasts about TAM

In this episode of TAM+, hosts Duane and Eric delve into the concept of rumination, shedding light on its impact and providing practical strategies to navigate it. They define rumination as repetitive thought patterns, often negative, that loop incessantly in our minds. Through insightful conversation, they dissect different types of rumination, such as brooding, intrusive, reflective, and deliberate, each with its own nuances and effects. They discuss how rumination can lead to anxiety and depression and offer actionable advice on breaking free from its grip. By embracing mindfulness, welcoming intrusive thoughts, and engaging in activities that demand full attention, listeners can begin to mitigate the effects of rumination and regain mental clarity.Are you enjoying The Addicted Mind + podcast?

"Send me a text"In 2 years, Grüns went from zero to $500M valuation selling gummy vitamins in a market that was already very saturated. The format wasn't new.  The "convenient on-the-go” positioning wasn't innovative. So what actually drove their success? This deep-dive reveals the marketing strategy most case studies miss.While Grüns markets to a massive Total Addressible Market (TAM) with generic "nutrition gaps" messaging, they actually convert customers a very different way.Using “PA” funnels that convert at 3-4x the industry average, and get customers with higher lifetime value.Inside, this breakdown you'll find the exact “PA” funnel framework Grüns uses, complete with our customer research methodology that you can use, and a step-by-step guide for any supplement brand looking to move beyond generic wellness messaging.What you'll learn:Why chasing the biggest TAM with generic messaging kills conversion ratesThe 3-tier framework that determines purchase behavior4 specific “PA” funnels Grüns uses (They use more that this actually)The complete “PA” funnel template you can implement immediatelyIf you're interested in working with me and my team to improve your supplement business.

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Tamrielo, and Thalen   We had a pretty meandering show where we thought we ran out of topics… and then suddenly remembered a few more at the very end.  We start with talking about Grace and Bel's adventures in All Ikora PVPVE nonsense with Destiny Rising.  From there, Grace talks about the full release of Slime Rancher 2, and Ammo some adventures in Mathematics with the Final Fantasy Tactics remake.  Xbox seems like it is cooked as they continue their trend of raising the price on everything, this time with Gamepass. Bel talks about revisiting the MySpace 1.0 era with an almost one-for-one clone called SpaceHey. Tam shares some thoughts about why Rise of Ronin did not land for him, but Ghost of Yotei absolutely has.  Bel has popped back into New World and was shocked to find some pretty significant updates to the game.  Then things go off the rails a bit, and we eventually talk about Hades 2 and the Electronic Arts sale to the Saudi Public Investment Fund.   Topics Discussed: Destiny Rising Only Ikora Edition Slime Rancher 2 Release Final Fantasy Tactics Xbox Price Hikes SpaceHey Rise of the Ronin Ghost of Yotei New World Aeternum Hades 2 Electronic Arts Sale

Arthur Hayes & Tom Lee map the new crypto arms race—Hyperliquid vs Aster, Plasma's stablecoin rails, and ETH's DAT-fueled supercycle. Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. Live at Token2049 Singapore, we're joined by Arthur Hayes (Maelstrom) and Tom Lee (Bitmine) to map two battles shaping the next cycle: the Perp DEX war—Hyperliquid's moat vs. CZ-linked Aster, zero-fee experiments like Lighter, and whether ~$500M/year token unlocks can stay “bullish”—and the race to own stablecoin rails, from Tether-affiliated Plasma's zero-fee USDT chain to distribution plays like Tempo and Codex. We dig into DATs, mNAV compression, and Tom's “ETH supercycle,” plus prediction markets (Polymarket vs. Kalshi) crossing into the mainstream and a surprise Zcash revival. If crypto's future is being decided in trading venues and in money itself, this is where the battle lines get drawn.  Show highlights

Healthcare providers waste $950 billion annually on manual workarounds caused by fragmented EHR systems and integration costs that don't scale. Shadowbox has developed a patented browser technology that functions as an API, enabling instant EHR data access without traditional integration expenses. In this episode of Category Visionaries, we sat down with Gregory Stein, CEO of Shadowbox, to dissect how the company evolved from serving desperate lab diagnostics customers to building strategic partnerships with established healthcare IT players like HC1 to reach health systems.   Topics Discussed: How the 21st Century Cures Act information blocking provisions remain largely unenforced, allowing EHR vendors to maintain data monopolies through integration fees Shadowbox's technical architecture: a white-labeled browser that accesses the document object model and API endpoints to extract HIPAA-compliant data without custom integrations Market entry strategy—targeting financially distressed lab diagnostics providers who couldn't afford traditional integration costs The HC1 partnership model: splitting the market by use case rather than geography, with HL7/API integrations going to HC1 and rapid, low-cost deployments going to Shadowbox Sequential interoperability capabilities that enable multiple vendor touchpoints (prior authorization, eligibility verification, billing) from a single data extraction   GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Target customers facing existential financial pressure, not optimal market conditions: Shadowbox entered through lab diagnostics—a commoditized, low-margin segment hemorrhaging money where providers faced $5K-$50K integration costs per connection taking 3-6 months. Greg acknowledged labs are "the redheaded stepchild of healthcare" but their desperation made them willing to pilot unproven technology. The lesson: segments with severe unit economics problems become early adopter pools because status quo costs exceed perceived risk of new vendors. Build a partnerships function before you have market leverage: Shadowbox hired a partnerships-focused employee early to cultivate relationships with RCM vendors and lab information system providers already selling to target customers. Rather than waiting for customer traction to attract partners, they used partnerships to generate initial traction. Greg emphasized healthcare adoption requires credible references—partnerships provide instant credibility entrepreneurs can't buy. Map your ecosystem's existing vendor relationships and pursue co-sell arrangements before achieving meaningful ARR. Use early customer feedback to migrate upmarket, not pivot laterally: Shadowbox started with labs, expanded to imaging centers, but their true ICP emerged as health systems with 500-1,000 community providers on disparate EHRs where traditional integration economics break down. Greg noted: "health systems that have major outreach programs where it doesn't pencil out to have them on their EPIC system." The migration path moved from small, desperate customers toward larger organizations facing the same core problem at scale. Don't mistake initial ICP for ultimate ICP—use early segments as beachheads to validate technology before pursuing customers with better economics. Partner with horizontal competitors when you solve orthogonal use cases: The HC1 deal splits the interoperability market—structured, predictable integrations go to HC1's traditional approach while rapid deployments to fragmented provider networks go to Shadowbox. This isn't channel partnership but market segmentation by use case economics. Greg explained they bring "something complementary to and in some ways competitive" but combined create offerings competitors can't match. Evaluate whether your "competitors" actually serve different jobs-to-be-done within the same category, then structure partnerships around use case delineation rather than territorial splits. Leverage policy expertise as product moat in regulated markets: Greg's Capitol Hill background enabled Shadowbox to support the Coalition for Innovative Lab Testing's successful lawsuit blocking FDA regulation of lab-developed tests—directly protecting their customers' business models. This wasn't marketing but strategic positioning that demonstrates commitment beyond vendor relationships. In heavily regulated industries, founders with policy expertise or advisors who can shape regulatory outcomes create defensibility that pure technology cannot. Consider how industry advocacy amplifies customer loyalty while potentially expanding TAM through favorable regulatory changes.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

V sobotu se demonstrovalo za změnu režimu, v neděli za pravdu a lásku. Lídři si vynadali v debatě ČT, jen Andrej Babiš si udělal hezký večer s podlézavými dotazy u Lubomíra Veselého. Česko má za sebou opravdu pestrý předvolební víkend.Zástupci Stačilo! a SPD v sobotu burcovali voliče na demonstraci se státotvorným názvem „Pane prezidente, respektujte volby“. Zdravici na tuto akci poslal čerstvý fanoušek koalice Stačilo!, exprezident Miloš Zeman. Ano, stejný Zeman, který si s výsledky voleb a Ústavou vždycky dělal, co chtěl.„Ale co je horší - Zeman pokračuje v podkopávání důvěry v systém. Zase zopakoval, že hrozí zmanipulování voleb jako v Rumunsku. Tam je teda mimochodem manipulovali Rusové,“ říká v podcastu Václav Dolejší.Ostatně Miloš Zeman se do podpory svých nových favoritů opravdu položil - půjde volit ruku v ruce s Janou Bobošíkovou a pojede taky na volební štáb Stačilo! do Ostravy. „To jim i docela přeju. Pokud se do Sněmovny nedostanou, tak je tam pozuráží. A pokud dostanou, tak řekne, že to byla jeho zásluha,“ dodává Lucie Stuchlíková.V neděli večer pak odstartovala série „superdebat“, když se na ČT sešli lídři všech stran (a Karel Havlíček). Vítězem se stal Petr Fiala, který - zřejmě čerstvě ostřílený z konfliktů na náměstích - zcela ovládl debatu.„Kdyby Petr Fiala s takovým zápalem premiéroval, možná bychom dneska byli jinde. A taky je paradoxní, že debatu ovládl díky tomu, že se trochu vykašlal na to, co pořád vyzdvihuje - na slušnost,“ říká Lucie Stuchlíková.Televizní moderátorce se zase podařilo přitlačit ke zdi Tomia Okamuru a Kateřinu Konečnou, když nedokázali říct, že Rusko je největší bezpečnostní hrozba. „V téhle části se mi líbil i výkon Víta Rakušana. Okamura byl celkově zase slabší. A úplně jiná, nižší liga byl v debatě Robert Šlachta,“ hodnotí Václav Dolejší.Jakou hru hrají Starostové, když sledují svého předsedu v televizi? Který politik ANO zatím vítězí v soutěži v servilitě vůči šéfovi? A co je nejzbytečnější otázka předvolebních debat? Poslechněte si Reaktor podcastu Vlevo dole!----Vlevo dole řeší politické kauzy, boje o vliv i šeptandu z kuloárů Sněmovny.

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   We are down a Grace this week, but carry forward with a handful of topics.  Bel talks about Diablo IV Season 10 after having sat out for a few seasons.  The game is in a pretty good state now.  Bel also goes on a tirade about how much he dislikes the builder/spender architecture in ARPGs and how you usually evolve your build to NEVER hit the builder.

What does it take to adapt as a professional athlete across Europe's top water polo leagues? In this episode, our guest Tamás Sedlmayer — a seasoned player with international experience — reflects on his career in Germany, Italy, and now back home in Hungary. He shares a behind-the-scenes look at the competitive landscape of each league: from Germany's top-heavy structure, to Italy's grueling travel schedule and tough matches, to Hungary's intense but logistically smoother setup. Beyond the pool, Tamás compares life in Berlin, Trieste, and Budapest — and reveals why Trieste remains his favorite city. He also opens up about pre-game rituals, his love for Italian cuisine, and the toughest opponents he's faced over the years. For young athletes, his advice goes far beyond sport: resilience, mindset, and finding light in difficult moments. Finally, Tamás discusses the challenges and ambitions of his current season — leading one of Hungary's youngest teams through a rebuilding phase, with the goal of breaking into the top eight and pushing even higher.

A közeljövő (sokszor kényelmetlenül) ismerős Magyarországán játszódik Fábián Tamás pár hete megjelent, Bravúros mutatványok, amiket senki se látott című regénye, ahol az életbe kilépő fiatal felnőttek próbálnak boldogulni, miközben életüket átszövi az írás iránti vágy, az egymáshoz való kapcsolódás nehézsége és a társadalmi rendszer, ami erősen korlátozza, hogy kinek merre vezethet az útja. Fábián Tamást elsősorban a Telex újságírójaként ismerhettük eddig, de most első regényéről kérdeztük a Nem rossz könyvek podcastban, ahol többek között arról beszélt nekünk, hogy milyen hiányérzet és kíváncsiság motiválta őt az írásra, milyen írói élmény volt megalkotni egy propagandista alakját és hogy hogyan ért össze a munka során az elképzelt, fiktív világ a mai Magyarországgal. A tartalomból: 00:00 A könyv, amit a héten ajánlunk, olyan, amit már ajánlottunk korábban is, de most megjelent magyarul is: Helen DeWitt - Az utolsó szamuráj. 04:40 És a vendégünk: Fábián Tamás, akinek pár hete jelent meg első regénye, melynek főszereplői is folyamatosan az írással küzdenek. Ezért adja magát a kérdés, hogy mit is jelent az írás, és hogyan születik hiányérzetből és kíváncsiságból egy kézirat. 08:50 Regényt írni újságíróként, és eleve regényt írni: hány ember lehet, akiben ott cirkulál a gondolat, hogy írni kéne, de aztán megreked valahol. 14:50 Hogyan válnak a személyes történetek az irodalom alapanyagává? 18:50 Bravúros mutatványok a saját életünkben: senki nem látja elsőre, hogy honnan érkeztünk. Város és vidék viszonya a regény egyik vezérfonala. És mintha beletörődtünk volna abba, hogy brutális társadalmi különbségek vannak, de hát ilyen az élet. 24:40 A regény szereplőinek háttere, és Bauer Béla, a sztárpropagandista alakja. 33:00 Fikció és valóság kapcsolata, és az állandó kompromisszumkeresések, a kinn is, benn is helyzetek. 36:40 Az erős női karakterek és az olvasás-írás lényege, hogy másokat elkezdjünk megérteni. 43:00 Optimista vagy pesszimista regény ez? És számít egyáltalán: x év múlva lehet, hogy lényegesen cudarabb körülmények között fogunk élni, de ugyanezek az emberi dinamikák fognak játszódni. 49.00 Három könyv Fábián Tamás ajánlásában: Paul Auster - 4321, Sinkó Ervin - Optimisták, Simone de Beauvoir - Mandarinok.

When I sit down with product leaders who've spent decades shaping how Silicon Valley builds products, I'm always struck by how their career arcs echo the very lessons they now teach. Michael Margolis is no exception.Michael started his career as an anthropologist, stumbled into educational software in the late 90s, helped scale Gmail during its formative years, and eventually became one of the first design researchers at Google Ventures (GV). For fifteen years, he sat at the intersection of startups and product discovery, helping founders learn faster, save years of wasted effort, and—sometimes—kill their darlings before they drained all the fuel.In our conversation, Michael didn't just share war stories. He laid out a concrete, repeatable framework for product teams—whether you're a PM at a FAANG company or a fresh hire at a Series A startup—on how to cut through noise, get to the truth, and accelerate learning cycles.This post is my attempt to capture those lessons. If you're an early to mid-career PM in Silicon Valley trying to sharpen your craft, this is for you.From Anthropology to Gmail: The Value of Unorthodox BeginningsMichael's path to Google wasn't a linear “go to Stanford CS, join a startup, IPO” narrative. Instead, he started in anthropology and educational software, producing floppy-disk learning titles at The Learning Company and Electronic Arts. That detour turned out to be foundational.“Studying anthropology was my introduction to usability and ethnography,” Michael told me. “It gave me a lens to look at people's behaviors not just as data points but as cultural patterns.”For PMs, the lesson is clear: don't discount the odd chapters of your own career. That sales job, that nonprofit internship, or that side hustle in teaching can become your secret weapon later. Michael carried those anthropology muscles into Gmail, where understanding human behavior at scale was just as critical as writing code.Actionable Advice for PMs:* Audit your own “non-linear” career experiences. What hidden skills—interviewing, pattern-recognition, narrative-building—could you bring into product work?* When hiring, don't filter only for straight-line resumes. The best PMs often bring unexpected perspectives.The Google Years: Scaling Research at Hyper-speedMichael joined Gmail in 2006, when it was still young but maturing fast. He quickly noticed how different the rhythm was compared to the slow, expensive ethnographic studies he had done for consulting clients like Walmart.com.“At Walmart,” he explained, “I had to compress these big, long expensive projects into something faster. Gmail demanded that same speed, but at enormous scale.”At Google, the prime “clients” for his research were often designers. The questions he answered were things like: How do we attract Outlook users? How do we make the interface intuitive enough for mass adoption?This difference matters for PMs: in big companies, research questions often start downstream—how to refine, polish, or optimize. In startups, questions live upstream: What should we build at all? Knowing where you sit in that spectrum changes the kind of research (and product bets) you should prioritize.Jumping to Google Ventures: Bringing UXR Into VCIn 2010, Michael made a bold move: leaving the mothership to become one of the very first design researchers embedded inside a venture capital firm. GV was trying to differentiate itself by not just writing checks but also offering operational help—design, hiring, PR.“I got lucky,” he recalled. “GV had already hired Braden Kowitz as their design partner, and Braden said, ‘I need a researcher.' That was my break.”Working with founders was a shock. They didn't act like Google PMs. “It was like they were playing by a different set of rules. They'd say, ‘Here's where we're going. You can help me, or get out of my way.'”That forced Michael to reinvent how he showed value. Instead of writing reports that might sit unread, he had to deliver insights in real-time, in ways founders couldn't ignore.The Watch Party Method: Stop Writing ReportsHere's where the gold nuggets come in. Michael realized traditional reports weren't cutting it. Instead, he invented what he calls “watch parties.”“I don't do the research study unless the whole team watches,” he said. “I compress it into a day—five interviews with bullseye customers, the whole team in a virtual backroom. By the end, they've seen it all, they're debriefing themselves, and alignment happens automatically. I haven't written a report in years.”Think about that. No 30-page decks. No long hand-offs. Just visceral, shared observation.Actionable Advice for PMs:* Next time you run a user test, insist that at least your core team attends live. Skip the sanitized recap slides.* At the end of a session, have the team summarize their top three takeaways. When they say it, it sticks.Bullseye Customers: Getting Uncomfortably SpecificOne of Michael's most powerful contributions is the bullseye customer exercise.“A bullseye customer,” he explained, “is the very specific subset of your target market who is most likely to adopt your product first. The key is to define not just inclusion criteria but also exclusion criteria.”Founders (and PMs) often resist narrowing. They want to believe their TAM is huge. But Michael's method forces rigor. He described grilling teams until they admit things like: Actually, if this person doesn't work from home, they probably won't care. Or if they've never paid for a premium tool, they won't convert.Example: Imagine you're building a new coffee subscription. Your bullseye might be: Remote tech workers in San Francisco, ages 25-35, who already spend $50+ per month on specialty coffee, and who like experimenting with new roasters. If your product doesn't delight them, it won't magically resonate with “all coffee drinkers.”Actionable Advice for PMs:* Write down both inclusion and exclusion criteria for your bullseye.* Add triggers: life events that make adoption more likely (e.g., new job, new diagnosis, move to a new city).* Recruit five people who fit it exactly. If they're lukewarm, rethink your product.Why Five Interviews Is EnoughMichael swears by the number five.“After three interviews, you're not sure if it's a pattern,” he said. “By five, you hit data saturation. Everyone sees the signal. Any more and the team is begging you to stop so they can make changes.”For PMs under pressure, this is liberating. You don't need 100 customer calls. You need five of the right customers, observed by the right team members, in a compressed timeframe.Multiple Prototypes: Don't Ask Customers to ImagineAnother Margolis rule: never show just one prototype.“If you show one, the team gets too attached, and the customer can only react. With three, I can say: compare and contrast. What do you love? What do you hate? I collect the Lego pieces and assemble the next iteration.”Sometimes those prototypes aren't even original mockups—they're competitor landing pages. As Michael joked: “Have you tested your competitor's prototypes? No? Then you've left something out.”Actionable Advice for PMs:* When exploring value props, mock up three different landing pages. Don't ask “Which do you prefer?” Instead ask: “Which elements matter most, and why?”* Treat mild praise as a “no.” Only visceral excitement counts as signal.Founders, Stubbornness, and the Henry Ford TrapI pressed Michael on what happens when founders dismiss customer feedback by invoking Henry Ford's famous line about “faster horses.”He smiled. “The beauty of bullseye customers is it forces accountability. If you told me these people are your dream users, and they shrug, then you can't hand-wave it away. Either change your customer definition or your product.”This is a crucial lesson for PMs who work with visionary leaders. Conviction is necessary, but unchecked conviction can sink a product. Anchoring on bullseye customers creates a shared contract that keeps both egos and hypotheses grounded.Bright Spots > Exit InterviewsWhen teams ask him to interview churned customers, Michael often refuses.“There are a bazillion reasons people don't use something,” he said. “It's inefficient. Instead, I go find the bright spots—the power users who love it. I want to know why they're on fire, and then go find more people like them.”This “bright spot” focus helps PMs avoid premature pivots. Instead of chasing every no, double down on the yeses until you understand the common thread.Case Study: Refrigerated Medications and ZiplineTo illustrate, Michael shared a project with Zipline, the drone-delivery company. They wanted to deliver specialty medications. The core question: was speed or timing more important?Through interviews, the bright spot insight emerged: refrigeration was the killer constraint. Patients didn't care about “fastest possible” delivery in the abstract. They cared about not leaving refrigerated drugs on their porch.That nuance completely changed the product and infrastructure design.For PMs, the takeaway is that sometimes the decisive factor isn't the flashy benefit you advertise (“we're the fastest!”) but a practical detail you only uncover through careful listening.AI and the Future of ResearchWe couldn't avoid the AI question. Has it changed his process?“I worry about how AI is creating distance between teams and customers,” Michael admitted. “If my bot talks to your bot and spits out a report, you miss the nuance. The power of research is in the stories, the details, the visceral reactions.”That said, he does use AI for quick prototype copywriting and summaries. But he insists on live team observation for the real work.For PMs, the advice is to use AI as an accelerant, not a replacement. Let it write the rough draft of your landing page copy, but don't outsource customer empathy to a transcript.What PMs Should Do Differently TomorrowLet's distill Michael's 15 years of wisdom into actionable steps you can implement this week:* Define your bullseye. Write down exact inclusion, exclusion, and trigger criteria.* Recruit five. Stop at five, but make them exact matches.* Run a watch party. Get your designer, engineer, and PM peers in the virtual backroom. No observers, no insights.* Prototype in threes. Landing pages are cheap. Competitor screenshots are free.* Look for visceral reactions. Anything less than “Wait, can I get this now?” is a polite no.* Study the bright spots. Find your power users and figure out what makes them glow.* Compress cycles. The whole exercise—recruit, test, learn—should take days, not months.Quotes Worth RememberingTo make these lessons stick, here are five quotes from Michael that every PM should tape to their desk:* “I don't do the research unless the whole team watches.”* “A bullseye customer is the very specific subset of your target market most likely to adopt first.”* “After five interviews, you hit data saturation. Everyone sees the pattern.”* “If you show one prototype, the team gets too attached. With three, you collect the Lego pieces.”* “Mild encouragement is a polite no. Only visceral excitement counts as yes.”My Takeaways as a Coach and PMTalking to Michael reinforced something I've seen in my own career: product failure often comes not from bad execution, but from weak learning cycles. Teams don't test the right people, don't synthesize together, and don't act quickly on what they learn.Michael's methods aren't magic—they're discipline. They compress time, sharpen focus, and force alignment. Whether you're building the next Gmail or the next startup idea in a Palo Alto garage, these principles apply.If you're an early to mid-career PM, start by practicing on a small scale. Don't wait for your manager to bless a massive UXR budget. Run a five-person watch party with your next prototype. You'll be surprised at how quickly the fog lifts.ClosingIf this resonated and you're looking for deeper guidance, I also work 1:1 with PMs and executives on career, product, and leadership challenges. You can learn more at tomleungcoaching.com.And if you haven't yet, I'd love your input on my Future of Product Management survey. It only takes about 5 minutes, and by filling it out you'll get early access to the results plus an invitation to a live readout with a panel of top product leaders.

Ak chce štát zvyšovať svoje príjmy cez opatrenia v daniach, najprv by sa mal zamerať na lepšie vymáhanie daní a kontrolu, hovorí auditorka a daňová poradkyňa Renáta Bláhová zo spoločnosti BMB Partners. V rokoch 2021 - 2024 pôsobila ako predsedníčka Úradu pre dohľad nad zdravotnou starostlivosťou. „Výber daní nezlepšíte daňovou amnestiou, ani hrozbami a znížením odpočtu DPH na firemné autá. Riešením je komplex opatrení, ktoré treba robiť dlhodobo,“ upozorňuje Blahová a dodáva, že na Slovensku klesá počet daňových kontrol aj dorubenej dane. Zatiaľ čo v roku 2019 vykonali daniari zhruba 10-tisíc kontrol, v roku 2024 to bolo už len približne 7-tisíc. Aj nález z týchto kontrol bol v minulom roku o viac ako polovicu nižší v porovnaní s obdobím pred šiestimi rokmi. Klesol aj objem dorubenej dane z približne 250-tisíc eur v roku 2019 na zhruba 170 miliónov minulý rok. „Netvrdím, že štát sa má nejako šialene sústreďovať na doruby. Ale toto nesvedčí o veľmi efektívnom výbere daní,“ hovorí daňová poradkyňa. Vysvetľuje, že problémom je nielen nízky počet kontrol, ale aj fakt, že väčšina sa sústreďuje len na DPH a daň z príjmov tvorí len malú časť pracovnej vyťaženosti kontrolórov. „Na finančnej správe nastali dramatické zmeny. Odrazilo sa to aj na kontrolách a daniari nemajú kapacity. Lepší výber daní môže štát dosiahnuť hlavne trpezlivou mravenčou prácou, ktorá tu chýba,“ dodáva Bláhová. Kritizuje aj pasivitu štátu vo vzťahu ku schránkovým offshore firmám, cez ktoré si stále vedia skutočne bohatí ľudia agresívne znižovať svoje daňové zaťaženie: „To sú milióny eur, ktoré odtekajú ktoviekam a znižujú daňové príjmy Slovenska. Ale nevidela som, že by to niekto kontroloval.“ Namiesto zvyšovania daňovo-odvodového zaťaženia zamestnancov a živnostníkov by sa vláda podľa Bláhovej mohla pozrieť napríklad na možnosti zaviesť špeciálnu daň pre ultra bohatých milionárov. Upozorňuje, že majú majetok rozložený v rôznych daňových rajoch a jeho hodnota stále narastá. Progresívna daň z príjmu sa ich nedotkne a vláda neplánuje zvýšiť ani majetkové dane. „Sociálno-demokratické vlády rôznych krajín diskutujú na úrovni EÚ o zavedení špeciálnej dane pre ultra bohatých ľudí. Tam sa bavíme o majetku nad sto miliónov eur, na ktorý by bola uvalená táto extra daň. Nie je jednoduché to urobiť, ale ak je vôľa a expertíza, tak sa to dá. Na Slovensku nevidím vôľu ísť touto cestou, hoci máme sociálno-demokratickú vládu,“ hovorí poradkyňa Renáta Bláhová. Vysvetľuje aj to, ako bude fungovať znížený odpočet DPH na firemné autá používané na súkromné účely a prečo je platenie daní z príjmu na Slovensku v podstate dobrovoľné, čo je svetový unikát.

After her New Heights interview, Taylor Swift had us nodding along when she shared about reclaiming hobbies and seeing her time as “expensive.” In this episode, Erin & Tam reflect on what her words mean for millennial moms navigating family, work, and self-care and how hobbies can be the key to finding joy, balance, and even cross-generational community in life's busiest seasons. #theartofhobbyness www.artofhobbyness.com

„Nevšimol si, že bol 17. november a teraz nás chce všetkých zatiahnuť do tohto nevšímania.“ Veta, ktorou otvoril svoj príhovor na minulotýždňovom bratislavskom proteste. A túto vetu predchádzala iná: „Aj 17. november nám už zobrali a preto dovoľte, aby som vám predstavila osobnosť Novembra'89.“ Moderátorka podujatia takto uviedla Františka Mikloška. A ten v spomínanej prvej vete hovoril o aktuálnom premiérovi Robertovi Ficovi, ktorý si November nevšimol a do nevšímania chce uviesť krajinu. A to až akousi „normalizáciou nevšímania“.Dá sa však prehliadnuť symbol, ktorý pre krajinu a jej obyvateľov znamenal prechod z neslobody do slobody, z totality do demokracie? Napriek dráme, ktorá je skrytá v tejto otázke, neplatí aj to, že 17. november nám už zobrali, lebo sme ten konsolidačný suchý oznam o jeho neslávení pracovným pokojom prijali bez akéhokoľvek prvotného odporu?A dá sa vyvážiť symbol úsporou 150-miliónov? Otázky pre Františka Mikloška, ktorý November'89 formoval, predtým naň krajinu pripravoval a dodnes hľadá formy napĺňania jeho odkazu.„Sviatky si vieme osláviť, keď máme voľno. Vtedy máme čas sa zastaviť. Povedzme si otvorene, vo chvíli, keď to bude pracovný deň, stane sa s ním to, čo s 28. októbrom. Deň, ktorý znamenal aj pre Slovensko rozbeh, nevšímame si ho, lebo ide o pracovný deň. A o toto ide Robertovi Ficovi,“ hovorí jedná z tvárí Novembra'89 František Mikloško. „Ide tu ešte o viac: To, že nám chcú zrušiť 17. november je vlastne kontrarevolúcia k Nežnej revolúcii,“ dodáva.Novela ústavy - Ficov podvod„Novela ústavy je podvod Roberta Fica,“ konštatuje František Mikloško. „Nerozumiem, že to dokáže niekto prehliadnuť,“ dodáva. Na poznámku, že tento podvod chce KDH Ficovi podporiť, Mikloško reaguje, že je to „na ich zodpovednosti“.„Smiešnou“ pritom nazýva iniciatívu KDH „vykostiť“ Smer svojou podporou novely ústavy s mužom a ženou.„Podvozok“ KDH – cesta k bezvýznamnostiKDH však podľa Františka Mikloška pripravuje alternatívu k podpore Ficovho návrhu. Ustanovenie o mužovi a žene chce podľa neho presadiť prílepkom v druhom čítaní o inej novele ústavy, ktorou chcú práve kresťanskí demokrati umožniť poslankyniam na materskej disponovať „spočívajúcim mandátom“. V praxi by to znamenalo, že počas ich materských povinností by ich zastupoval poslanecký náhradník a v prípade, že by sa poslankyňa rozhodla vrátiť do poslaneckých lavíc, mandát by si zobrala.„Je to naoko nevinný paragraf, aký majú aj škandinávskej krajiny. Ale pokiaľ by prešiel do druhého čítania, bude tam snaha zo strany konzervatívnych politikov dať tam opäť novelu ústavy o mužovi a žene,“ hovorí František Mikloško. „Tam by sa stratil argument OĽANO (hnutia Slovensko), že by za to nehlasovali. Budú hlasovať, keď to bude návrh KDH,“ vysvetľuje.„Môže sa ľahko stať, že v októbri bude táto novela vďaka návrhu KDH na stole opäť, no iným spôsobom,“ konštatuje poslanec. „A pokiaľ sa k tomu Robert Fico pridá, tak to prejde.“ V KDH o tomto návrhu hovoria ako o „podvozku“ pre novelu ústavy o dvoch pohlaviach.František Mikloško hovorí, že nepodporí nielen pôvodný návrh Smeru, ale ani návrh KDH pre tzv. novelu „podvozok“ v prvom čítaní, ktorý by mohol byť v druhom čítaní priestorom pre prílepok vo forme dvoch pohlaví.Pri tejto alternatíve ale hovorí, že pre KDH to bude „cesta do bezvýznamnosti“. „Bude otázkou, či KDH vôbec bude v budúcnosti na politickej scéne,“ dodáva.Podcast pripravil Jaroslav Barborák.

„Nevšimol si, že bol 17. november a teraz nás chce všetkých zatiahnuť do tohto nevšímania.“ Veta, ktorou otvoril svoj príhovor na minulotýždňovom bratislavskom proteste.

Az RTL és a Media1 közötti konfliktus új szintre lépett: a bíróság a Media1 javára ítélt egy sajtóperben, ezt követően pedig az RTL Magyarország vezérigazgató-helyettese, Kolosi Péter személyeskedő nyílt levélben támadta a lap szerkesztőségét és vezetőjét. Egyúttal megszakították a kapcsolatot Magyarország piacvezető médiaipari szaklapjával, majd fél nappal később így tett az ATV Csoport is. Szalay Dániel, a Media1 alapító-főszerkesztője exkluzív interjút adott Horváth Ádám Tamásnak, amelyben az RTL és a Media1 közötti konfliktus részleteiről, a Kolosi Péter által megfogalmazott vádakról, valamint arról is beszélt, hogyan érinti a szerkesztőséget a hozzáférések megvonása, a sajtótájékoztatókról való kizárás, és miként lehet újságírónak lenni egy olyan közegben, ahol egyes szereplők nem veszik jónéven a kritikus kérdéseket. https://parallaxis.blog.hu/2025/09/22/mediazabalok_ep21 https://youtu.be/U6xfobPmu44 Patreon oldalunkon támogatóink számára a nyilvános premier előtt tesszük elérhetővé podcastjeink epizódjait, illetve a Parallaxis Podcast hosszabb, különleges változatát – akár már havi 1000 forintért!

My guest today is Jeff Horing. Jeff cofounded Insight Partners and has been the Managing Director since 1995. This is one of Jeff's first public conversations about building one of the world's most successful technology investment firms with over $100 billion in AUM. Jeff reveals the mechanics behind Insight's legendary sourcing machine—60-80 people systematically calling companies worldwide. He explains their contrarian "one fund" strategy that deploys $12 billion across everything from $10M growth deals to billion-dollar buyouts, and why he thinks this creates unmatched competitive advantages. We discuss remarkable talent diaspora, AI representing a "TAM accelerator," and Insight's five-ingredient framework for perfect investments.

Evropská komise částečně vyhověla automobilkám a rychleji zhodnotí svůj plán zakázat od roku 2035 prodej nových aut se spalovacími motory. „V Norsku je dnes 98 procent prodaných aut elektromobilů,“ poukazuje v pořadu Pro a proti předseda Asociace elektromobilového průmyslu Jaromír Marušinec. „Tam bylo tolik podpory pro elektrické vozy, že to nikdo jiný nevěděl,“ namítá bývalý ředitel Evropské asociace výrobců automobilů Ivan Hodáč.

We've all been there - that midnight scroll that ends with a cart full of regret, or falling for a "bargain" that sits unworn with tags still on. This week, Tamara Holland and Lucinda Pikkat are taking over the pod while Leigh's away, diving deep into our biggest shopping mistakes and how to actually fix them. They're unpacking the psychology behind "consolation prize" shopping - you know, when you can't afford the designer piece you really want, so you end up buying cheaper versions that never quite hit the mark. Spoiler alert: you usually end up spending more money and feeling less satisfied! Plus, they're tackling the dangerous world of late-night shopping (we see you, 3am feeds and doom scrolling), buying fantasy pieces for lives we don't actually lead, and the trap of shopping for our "dream bodies" instead of the ones we have right now.

Reality and Faith Prompts1. What are the formations or structures for how you know you are in reality in regards to your faith? Do you have indicators? Internal senses? External resources? 2. Who are you in active dialogue with in regards to your faith? Who that is living and who that is passed on? 3. When you encounter dissonance with your reality of faith, how do you stay grounded in your experience?TranscriptsDanielle (00:00):To my computer. So thank you Starlet. Thank you Tamis for being with me. I've given already full introductions. I've recorded those separately. So the theme of the conversation and kind of what we're getting into on this podcast this season is I had this vision for talking about the themes have been race, faith, culture, church in the past on my podcast. But what I really think the question is, where is our reality and where are our touchpoints in those different realms? And so today there's going to be more info on this in the future, but where do we find reality and how do we form our reality when we integrate faith? So one of the questions I was asking Tamis and Starlet was what are the formations or structures for how you know are in reality in regards to your faith? Do you have indicators? Do you have internal senses? Do you have external resources? And so that's where I want to jump off from and it's free flow. I don't do a whole lot of editing, but yeah, just curious where your mind goes when you hear that, what comes to mind and we'll jump from there.Starlette (01:12):I immediately thought of baptism, baptismal waters. My baptismal identity forms and shapes me. It keeps me in touch with my body. It keeps me from being disembodied. Also, it keeps me from being swindled out of authority over my body due to the dangerous irrationalism of white body supremacy. So that's one thing. Protest also keeps me grounded. I have found that acts of defiance, minor personal rebellions, they do well for me. They keep me spiritually that I feel like it keeps me in step with Jesus. And I always feel like I'm catching up that I'm almost stepping on his feet. So for me, baptismal identity and protesting, those are the two things come to me immediately.Tamice (02:04):Whoa, that's so deep. Wow, I never thought about that. But I never thought about protests being a thing that groundsBecause I mean I've just been, for me I would say I've been working on the right so, and y'all know me, so I got acronyms for days. But I mean I think that the radical ethical spirituality that's tethered to my tradition, that's a rule of life, but it's also a litmus test. So for me, if you can't tell the truth, we don't have conversations about non-violence and loving enemies. I don't get to ethical spirituality unless you come through the front door of truth telling and truth telling in that sense of the r. And the rest arrest mix tape is radical. Angela Davis says radical and that's grasping stuff at the root. So before we have conversations about forgiveness for instance, or Jesus or scripture or what is right and what is moral, it's very important that we first tell the truth about the foundations of those realities and what we even mean by those terms and whose those terms serve and where they come from. I talk about it asking to see the manager. We need see the manager(03:24):Me that grounds me is now if something comes in and it calls me to move in a different way or corrects me or checks me in a certain way, I say yes to it if it comes through the door of truth telling because it means I also got to be true and tell the truth to myself. So that keeps me grounded. That kind of acronym is kind of how I move, but it's also how I keep toxic ways of doing religion out. And I also have come back into relationship with trees and grass and the waters and that's been really powerful for moving down into different types of intelligence. For me, the earth has been pulling me into a different way of knowing and being in that part brings me to ancestors. Just like you starlet my ancestors, I keep finding them in the trees and in the water and in the wind. So it's like, well I need them real bad right now. So that's where I'm kind of grounding myself these days.But to your point about grounding and protest, I feel most compelled to show up in spaces where the ground is crying out screaming. I feel like it beckons me there. And we talked about the most recent news of Trey being found and you talked about truth telling and what resonated immediately. And it didn't sit right with me that African-American people, people of African descent know not to take their lives in that way because of the traumatic history that when you say things like you don't suspect any foul play, it sounds like what has historically been named as at the hands of persons unknown where that no one is held responsible for the death of African-American people. That's what ties it in for me. And I feel like it's an ancestral pool that they didn't leave this way, they didn't leave in the way that they were supposed to, that something stinks and that they're crying out to say, can you hear me? Come over here Terry a while here. Don't leave him here. Don't let up on it because we didn't call him here somebody. So I love that you said that you are, feel yourself being grounded in and call back to the earth because I do feel like it speaks to us,But there are telltale signs in it and that the trees will tell us too. And so I didn't have a hand in this. It was forced on me and I saw it all come and talk to me. Put your hand here, put your head here and you can hear me scream and then you can hear me scream, you can hear him scream. He was calling out the whole time. That's what I believe in. That's how I test reality. I tested against what the earth is saying like you said, but I think we have to walk the ground a bit. We have to pace the ground a bit. We can't just go off of what people are saying. Back to your point about truth telling, don't trust nobody I don't trust. I don't trust anybody that's going to stop because you can't fix a lie. So if you're going to come in with deception, there's not much else I can do with you. There's not much I can say to you. And I find that white body supremacy is a supreme deception. So if we can't start there in a conversation, there's nothing that I can say to youTamice (06:46):That's facts. It's interesting that you talked about baptism, you talked about grounding and I had this story pop up and while you were talking again it popped up again. So I'm going to tell it. So we are not going to talk about who and all the things that happened recently, but I had made some comments online around that and around just the choice to be blind. So I've been talking a lot about John nine and this passage where it is very clear to everyone else what's happening, but the people who refuse to see, refuse to see.So in that, I was kind of pulled into that. I was in Mississippi, I was doing some stuff for the book and this lady, a chaplain, her name is Sally Bevin, actually Sally Bevel, she walked up to me, she kept calling me, she was like, Tam me, she want to come. I have my whole family there. We were at the Mississippi Book Fair and she kept saying, Tam me, she want to come join, dah, dah, dah. Then my family walked off and they started to peruse and then she asked me again and I was like, no, I'm good. And I was screaming. I mean I'm looking in the screen and the third time she did it, it pulled me out and I was like, this woman is trying to pull me into being present. And she said to me, this is funny, starlet. I said, I feel like I need to be washed and I need a baptism because this phone feels like so on right now and the wickedness is pulling me. So she poured, she got some ice, cold water, it was 95 degrees, poured cold water on my hands, had me wash my hands and she took the cold water. She put a cross on my forehead. And you know what she said to me? She said, remember your baptism?She said, remember your baptism? And when I was baptized, even though it was by a man who will not also be named, when I was baptized the wind, there was a whirlwind at my baptism. It was in 2004, that same wind hit in Mississippi and then I felt like I was supposed to take my shoes off. So I walked around the Mississippi Festival with no shoes on, not knowing that the earth was about to receive two people who did not deserve to be hung from trees. And there's something very, I feel real talk, I feel afraid for white supremacy right now in the name of my ancestors and I feel like I'm calling on everything right now. And that's also grounding me.Starlette (09:36):I was with Mother Moses last week. I went to Dorchester County just to be with her because the people were here. Take me. I said, I'll leave them all here. I know you said there are a few here, but give me the names, give me the last names of the people because I don't have time for this. I see why she left people. I see why she was packing. So to your point, I think it's important that we talk to the ancestors faithfully, religiously. We sit down at their feet and listen for a bit about how they got over and how they got through it and let them bear witness to us. And she does it for me every time, every single time she grounds, she grounds meDanielle (10:23):Listening to you all. I was like, oh wait. It is like Luke 19 where Jesus is coming in on the show and he didn't ride in on the fanciest plane on a donkey. And if you're familiar with that culture that is not the most elevated animal, not the elevated animal to ride, it's not the elevated animal. You don't eat it. Not saying that it isn't eaten at times, but it's not right. So he rides in on that and then people are saying glory to God in the highest and they're praising him and the Pharisees are like, don't do that because it's shameful and I don't remember the exact words, but he's basically be quiet. The rocks are going to tell the story of what happened here. He's walking his way. It kind of reminds me to me. So what you're saying, he's walking away, he's going to walk and he's going to walk that way and he's going to walk to his death. He's walking it in two scenarios that Jesus goes in to talk about. Your eyes are going to be blind to peace, to the real way to peace. It's going to be a wall put around you and you're going to miss out. People are going to destroy you because you missed your chance.Starlette (11:50):Point again creation. And if you're going to be a rock headed people, then I'll recruit this rock choir. They get ready to rock out on you. If there's nothing you're going to say. So even then he says that creation will bear witness against you. You ain't got to do it. You ain't got to do it. I can call these rock. You can be rock headed if you want to. You can be stony hearted if you want to. I can recruit choir members from the ground,Tamice (12:16):But not even that because y'all know I'm into the quantum and metaphysics. Not even that they actually do speak of course, like words are frequencies. So when you hold a certain type of element in your hand, that thing has a frequency to it. That's alright that they said whatever, I don't need it from you. Everything else is tapped into this.Starlette (12:39):Right. In fact, it's the rocks are tapped into a reality. The same reality that me and this donkey and these people throwing stuff at my feet are tapped into.You are not tapped into reality. And so that's why he makes the left and not the right because typically when a person is coming to Saka city, they head towards the temple. He went the other direction because he is like it was a big fuck. I don't use power like this. And actually what I'm about to do is raise you on power. This is a whole different type of power. And that's what I feel like our ancestors, the realities that the alternative intelligence in the world you're talking about ai, the alternative intelligence in the world is what gives me every bit of confidence to look this beast in the face and call it what it is. This isTamice (13:52):And not going to bow to it. And I will go down proclaiming it what it is. I will not call wickedness good.And Jesus said, Jesus was so when he talks about the kingdom of heaven suffering violence and the violence taken it by force, it's that it's like there's something so much more violent about being right and righteous. Y'all have to use violence because you can't tell the truth.Danielle (14:29):Do you see the split two? There's two entirely different realities happening. Two different kingdoms, two entirely different ways of living in this era and they're using quote J, but it's not the same person. It can't be, you cannot mix white Jesus and brown Jesus. They don't go together. TheyStarlette (15:00):Don't, what is it? Michael O. Emerson and Glenn e Bracy. The second they have this new book called The Religion of Whiteness, and they talk about the fact that European Americans who are racialized as white Tahi says those who believe they are white. He says that there's a group of people, the European Americans who are racialized as white, who turn to scripture to enforce their supremacy. And then there's another group of people who turn to scripture to support and affirm our sibling.It is two different kingdoms. It's funny, it came to me the other day because we talk about, I've talked about how for whiteness, the perception of goodness is more important than the possession of it.You know what I mean? So mostly what they do is seek to be absolved. Right? So it's just, and usually with the being absolved means I'm less bad than that, so make that thing more bad than me and it's a really terrible way to live a life, but it is how whiteness functions, and I'm thinking about this in the context of all that is happening in the world because it's like you cannot be good and racist period. And that's as clear as you cannot love God and mammon you will end up hating one and loving the other. You cannot love God. You cannotStarlette (16:29):Love God and hate your next of kin your sibling. Dr. Angela Parker says something really important During the Wild Goose Festival, she asked the participants there predominantly European American people, those racialized as white. She said, do you all Terry, do you Terry, do you wait for the Holy Spirit? Do you sit with yourself and wait for God to move? And it talked, it spoke to me about power dynamic. Do you feel like God is doing the moving and you wait for the spirit to anoint you, to fill you, to inspire you, to baptize you with fire? You Terry, do you wait a while or do you just the other end of that that she doesn't say, do you just get up? I gave my life to Jesus and it's done right handed fellowship, give me my certificate and walk out the door. You have to sit with yourself and I don't know what your tradition is.I was raised Pentecostal holiness and I had to tear all night long. I was on my knees calling on the name of Jesus and I swear that Baba couldn't hear me. Which octave do you want me to go in? I lost my voice. You know them people, them mothers circled me with a sheet and told me I didn't get it that night that I had to come back the next day after I sweat out my down, I sweat out my press. Okay. I pressed my way trying to get to that man and they told me he didn't hear me. He not coming to get you today. I don't hear a change. They were looking for an evidence of tongues. They didn't hear an evidence, a change speech. You still sound the way that you did when you came in here. And I think that white body supremacy, that's where the problem lies with me. There's no difference. I don't hear a change in speech. You're still talking to people as if you can look down your nose with them. You have not been submerged in the water. You did not go down in the water. White supremacy, white body supremacy has not been drowned out.Terry, you need to Terry A. Little while longer. I'll let you know when you've gotten free. When you've been lifted, there's a cloud of witnesses. Those mothers rubbing your back, snapping your back and saying, call on him. Call him like you want him. Call him like you need him and they'll tell you when they see evidence, they'll let you, you know when you've been tied up, tangled up. That's what we would say. Wrapped up in Jesus and I had to come back a second night and call on the Lord and then they waited a while. They looked, they said, don't touch her, leave her alone. He got her now, leave her alone. But there was an affirmation, there was a process. You couldn't just get up there and confess these ABCs and salvation, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Why do you think they'll let you know when you got it?Danielle (18:56):Why do you think that happened? Why? I have a question for You'all. Why do you think that became the reality of the prayer in that moment? And we're talking about Africans that have been brought here and enslaved. Why do you think that happened on our soil that way? Why question?Tamice (19:12):I mean I'm wondering about it because when stylists talk and I keep thinking the Terry in and of itself is a refusal. It says what I see is not real. What's in front of me is not right. I'm going to wait for something else.I'm saying, the slave Bible, them taking stuff out of the Bible and it's like, but I feel like the ground, there was something about the ground that indigenous people, that indigenous people were able to help them tap into over here. It was waiting on that.Starlette (19:49):We didn't have punishment. We had a percussion session. So they ring shouted me. I didn't know what it was at the time. We didn't have all the fancy stuff. Everybody had put me in key. We didn't have, we had this and feet them people circled around me. We don't do that no more.Danielle (20:06):We don't do that no more. But don't you think if you're a person that is, and I believe Africans came here with faith already. Oh yes, there's evidence of that. So put that aside, but don't you think then even if you have that faith and it's not so different than our time and you're confronted with slave owners and plantation owners also preaching quote the same faith that you're going to have to test it out on your neighbor when they're getting saved. You're going to have to make sure they didn't catch that bug.Don't you think there's something in there? Block it. Don't you think if you know faith internally already like we do and run into someone that's white that's preaching the same thing, we have to wait it out with them. Don't you think our ancestors knew that when they were here they were waiting it out. I just noticed my spirit match that spirit. We have to wait it out. Yes, because and let's say they didn't know Jesus. Some people didn't know Jesus and they met Jesus here for whatever reason, and your example is still the white man. You have to wait it out to make sure you're not reflecting that evilness. I mean that's what I'm thinking. That's it's the absolutelyStarlette (21:20):Truth. There's a book titled Slave Testimony, and I know this because I just read about it. There's a testimony of an enslaved African-American, he's unnamed. It was written on June 26th, 1821. He's talking to Master John. He said, I want permission to speak to you if you please. He talked about, he said, where is it? Where is it? A few words. I hope that you will not think Me too bull. Sir, I make my wants known to you because you are, I believe the oldest and most experienced that I know of. He says in the first place, I want you to tell me the reason why you always preach to the white folks and keep your back to us is because they sit up on the hill. We have no chance among them there. We must be forgotten because we are near enough. We are not near enough without getting in the edge of the swamp behind you. He was calling him to account. He said, when you sell me, do you make sure that I'm sold to a Christian or heathen?He said, we are charged with inattention because of where their position. He said it's impossible for us to pay good attention with this chance. In fact, some of us scarce think that we are preached to it all. He says, money appears to be the object. We are carried to market and sold to the highest bidder. Never once inquired whether you sold to a heathen or a Christian. If the question was put, did you sell to a Christian, what would the answer be? I can tell you, I can tell what he was, gave me my price. That's all I was interested in. So I don't want people to believe that Africans who were enslaved did not talk back, did not speak back. They took him to task. He said, everybody's not literate. There's about one in 50 people who are, and I'm one of them and I may not be able to speak very well, but this is what I want to tell you. I can tell the difference. I know that you're not preaching to me the same. I know that when you talk about salvation, you're not extending it to me.Yikes. You need to know that our people, these ancestors, not only were they having come to Jesus meetings, but they were having come to your senses, meeting with their oppressor and they wrote it down. They wrote it down. I get sick of the narratives that we are not our answer. Yes we are. Yes I am. I'm here because of them. I think they called me. I think they call me here. I think the fussing that I make, the anger that I possess this need to resist every damn thing. I think they make me do thatTamice (23:35):Indeed, I think. But I didn't get my voice until they took the MLE off, had an honor with my ancestors and they came and they told me it's time. Take that mle off, MLE off. Shoot. Why Jesus ain't tell me to take no muzzle off. I'm going to tell you that now.Danielle (23:52):That's why I mean many indigenous people said, Jesus didn't come back for me because if that guy's bringing me Jesus, then now Jesus didn't come back for me.Starlette (24:07):Come on.Make it plain. Danielle, go ahead. Go ahead. Walk heavy today. Yeah, I meanDanielle (24:17):I like this conversation. Why Jesus, why Jesus didn't come back for us, the three of us. He didn't come back for us. It didn't come back from kids. He didn't come back for my husband. Nope. And so then therefore that we're not going to find a freedom through that. No, that's no desire to be in that.Tamice (24:33):None. And that's what I mean and making it very, very plain to people like, listen, I actually don't want to be in heaven with your Jesus heaven. With your Jesus would be hell. I actually have one,Starlette (24:47):The one that they had for us, they had an N word heaven for us where they would continue to be served and they wrote it down. It's bad for people who are blio foes who like to read those testimonies. It is bad for people who like to read white body supremacy For Phil. Yeah, they had one for us. They had separate creation narratives known as polygenetic, but they also had separate alon whereby they thought that there was a white heaven and an inward heaven.I didn't even know that. Starla, I didn't even know that because they said they want to make sure their favorite slave was there to serve them. Oh yes, the delusion. People tell me that they're white. I really do push back for a reason. What do you mean by that? I disagree with all of it. What part of it do you find agreeable? The relationship of ruling that you maintain over me? The privilege. White power. Which part of it? Which part of it is good for you and for me? How does it help us maintain relationship as Christians?Danielle (25:47):I think that's the reality and the dissonance we live in. Right?Starlette (25:51):That's it. But I think there needs to be a separation.Are you a white supremacist or not?Tamice (26:03):That's what I'm saying. That's why I keep saying, listen, at this point, you can't be good and racist. Let me just say that. Oh no, you got to pickStarlette (26:12):And I need to hear itTamice (26:13):Both. Yeah. I need you to public confession of it.Starlette (26:19):Someone sent me a dm. I just want to thank you for your work and I completely agree. I quickly turned back around. I said, say it publicly. Get out of my dms. Say it publicly. Put it on your page. Don't congratulate me. Within two minutes or so. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you. You are right. Okay. Okay. Okay. Did he post anything? No. Say it publicly. Denounce them. Come out from among them.Very, very plain. As a white supremacist or na, as a kid, as children. HowDanielle (26:56):Hard is it? I think that's what made this moment so real and it's a kind of a reality. Fresher actually for everybody to be honest, because it's a reality. All certain things have been said. All manner of things have been said by people. This is just one example of many people that have said these things. Not the only person that's lived and died and said these things. And then when you say, Hey, this was said, someone's like, they didn't say that. You're like, no, some people put all their content on the internet receipts. They did it themselves. That's not true. And I went to a prayer vigil. I didn't go. I sat outside a prayer vigil this weekend and I listened in and they were praying for the resurrection like Jesus of certain people that have passed on. I kid you, I sat there in the car with a friend of mine and then my youngest daughter had come with me just to hang out. She's like, what are they praying for? I was like, they're like, they were praying for a certain person to be resurrected from the dead just like Jesus. And I was so confused. I'm so confused how we got that far, honestly. But I told my kid, I said, this is a moment of reality for you. This is a moment to know. People think like this.Starlette (28:13):Also, white bodyDanielle (28:14):Supremacy is heresy. Yes. It's not even related to the Bible. Not at all.Why I steal away. This is why even the mistranslated Bible, even the Bible that you could take,Starlette (28:33):ThisThe version Danielle started. If you wouldn't have said that, I wouldn't have said that. This is exactly why I steal away. This is exactly why I leave. Because you can't argue with people like that. Now we're resurrected. IAll I need, it's like away. This is exactly why, because I can't hear what Howard Thurman calls the sound of the genuine in that. It's just not going to happen.Danielle (29:01):Can you imagine what would've happened if we would've prayed for George Floyd to be resurrected? Listen, what would've happenedStarlette (29:08):That he called the scumbag.Danielle (29:10):Yeah, but what would've happened if we would've played for their resurrection? Adam, Adam Polito. ThatStarlette (29:19):Was foundTamice (29:19):Psychosis.Starlette (29:21):Yeah. What would've happened? See, don't push me now. I feel like I need to pack. As soon as I said fill away, it's like people keep saying, what are you going to do if gets worse? I'm going to leave my, I'll sell all this crapAbout this stuff. This booby trap of capitalism. I'll it all don't about none of it. What matters most to me is my sense of ness. And when you get to talking, I almost said talking out the side of your neck. Jesus God, today, lemme God Jesus of your neck. You just need to know that's a cultural thing. That's going to have to be reevaluated. God. It just came right on out. Oh Lord. When you start saying things that go against my sense of ness that you think that I have to defend my personhood, that you want to tell me that I don't exist as a person. I don't exist as a human. Back to your reality testament. It's time for me to leave. I'm not staying here and fighting a race war or a civil war. You mamas are just violent. It's what you've always been.Tamice (30:28):Why would I stand in the middle? Why would I stand in the middle of what I know is a confrontation with yourself?Starlette (30:36):Oh, okay. Alright. I'm going to justTamice (30:38):You all. What happened last week is it, it is a confrontation with a really disturbed self and they're trying to flip it. Oh yes. They're trying to make it. Yes. But this is like, I'm trying to tell people out here, this is beyond you, Jack, that was a prophetic witness against you because now you see that what you're fighting is the mirror. Keep me out of it. I won't fight your wars. Keep me out of it. Look, James Baldwin said, y'all have to decide and figure out why you needed a nigger in the first place.I'm not a nigger. I'm a man. But you, the white people need to figure out why you created the nigger in the first place. Fuck, this is not my problem. This is a y'all and I don't have anything invested in this. All I'm trying to do is raise my kids, man. Come on. Get out of here with that. I'm sorry.Danielle (31:48):No, you keep going and then go back to starlet. Why do you think then they made her Terry? They had to make sure she doesn't buy into that. That's my opinion.Tamice (32:00):It's funny too because I see, I mean, I wasn't Pentecostal. I feel like who's coming to mind as soon as you said that de y'all know I'm hip hop. Right? So KRS one.Starlette (32:12):Yes. Consciousness.Tamice (32:14):The mind. Oh yes, the mind, the imagination. He was, I mean from day one, trying to embed that in the youth. Like, Hey, the battlefield is the mind. Are you going to internalize this bullshit?Are you going to let them name you?Starlette (32:34):This is the word.Tamice (32:34):Are you going to let them tell you what is real for the people of God? That's That's what I'm saying, man. Hip hop, hip hop's, refusal has been refusal from day one. That's why I trust it.Because in seen it, it came from the bottom of this place. It's from the bottom of your shoe. It tells the truth about all of this. So when I listen to hip hop, I know I'm getting the truth.Starlette (32:57):Yeah. EnemyObjection. What did public enemy say? Can't trust it. Can't trust it. No, no, no, no. You got to play it back. We got to run all that back.Danielle (33:11):I just think how it's so weaponized, the dirt, the bottom of the shoe, all of that stuff. But that's where we actually, that's what got it. Our bodies hitting the road, hitting the pavement, hitting the grass, hitting the dirt. That's how we know we're in reality because we've been forced to in many ways and have a mindset that we are familiar with despite socioeconomic changes. We're familiar with that bottom place.Tamice (33:38):Yeah. I mean, bottom place is where God is at. That's what y'all don't understand. God comes from black, dark dirt, like God is coming from darkness and hiddenness and mystery. You don't love darkness. You don't love GodStarlette (33:56):Talk. Now this bottom place is not to be confused with the sunken place that some of y'all are in. I just want to be clear. I just want to be clear and I'm not coming to get you. Fall was the wrong day. TodayI think it's good though because there's so much intimidation in other communities at times. I'm not saying there's not through the lynchings, ongoing lynchings and violence too and the threats against colleges. But it's good for us to be reminded of our different cultural perspectives and hear people talk with power. Why do you think Martin Luther King and Cesar Chavez wrote letters to each other? They knew something about that and knew something about it. They knew something about it. They knew something about why it's important to maintain the bonds. Why we're different, why we're similar. They knew something about it. So I see it as a benefit and a growth in our reality. That is actually what threatens that, that relationship, that bond, that connection, that speaking life into one another. That's what threatens that kingdom that you're talking about. Yeah.You just can't fake an encounter either.When I was tear, no matter what I've decolonized and divested from and decentered, I cannot deny that experience. I know that God was present. I know that God touched me. So when mother even made sister, even made, my grandmother would call me when I was in college, first person to go to college. In our family, she would say before she asked about classes or anything else, and she really didn't know what to ask. She only had a sixth grade education. But her first question was always you yet holding on?Right. She holding on. And I said, yes ma'am. Yes ma'am. Then she would, because it didn't matter if you couldn't keep the faith. There really wasn't nothing else for her to talk to you about. She was going to get ready to evangelize and get you back because you backslid. But that was her first thing. But what I've learned since then is that I can let go.The amazing thing is that the spirit is guiding me. I didn't let go all together. You got it. You got it. If it's real, if you're real, prove it. Demonstrate it. I'm getting chills now talk to me without me saying anything, touch me. I shouldn't have to do anything. Eugene Peterson says that prayer is answering speech. In fact, the only reason why I'm praying is because you said something to me first. It's not really on me to do anything. Even with the tear. I was already touched. I was already called. The reason why I was on my knees and pleading is because I'd already been compelled. Something had had already touched me. FirstThey called Holy Spirit. The hound of heaven. Damn right was already on my heels. I was already filled before I could even refuse. I was like, I don't want this. I'm going to always be star Jonah, get your people. I prefer fish guts. Throw me overboard. I don't like these people. Certified prophet because I don't want to do it. I never want to do it. I'm not interested at all. I have no too much history. I've had to deal with too much white body supremacy and prejudice and racism to want anything to do with the church. I see it for what? It's I'll never join one. By the way, are we recording? Is it on? I'm never joining a church ever. Until you all desegregate.You desegregate. Then we can talk about your ministry of reconciliation. Until then, you don't have one. Don't talk to me about a community day or a pulpit swap. I don't want to hear it. All Your praise. What did he say? A clinging, stumble, put away from me. Your conferences, all your multiracial. I don't want to hear none of it. Desegregate that part desegregate you, hypocrites, woe unto all of you white supremacists. If nobody ever told you that's not God. It's not of God. So I don't, for me, my reality is so above me, I know that Paul, because when I don't want to say anything, somebody is in my ear. Somebody was talking to me this morning. Somebody was writing a note in my ear. I had to get up. I said, please. I'm like, now I'm not even awake all the way. Stop talking to me. You can't fake that as much as I push against the Holy Spirit. You can't fake that. I don't want to do it. I don't want to say it. I'm of saying it. And yet I get up in the morning and it's like, say this, that post that. Write that. Somebody else is doing that. That's not me.As the mothers say, my flesh is weak. My flesh is not willing at all. I want to, all of y'all can go on. I'll pack this up and move somewhere else. Let them fight it to the death. I'm not going to, this is just my flesh speaking. Forgive me. Okay. This Raceless gospel is a calling friends. It's a calling. It's a calling, which means you coming into it. I'm an itinerant prophet. I'm heavy into the Hebrew scriptures. I come up with every excuse. My throat hurts. I got a speech impediment. The people don't like me. I'm not educated. It don't work. You need to know when people come to you and say, y'all need to get together, God speaking to you, the Pendo is coming. That's not like an invitation. That's kind of like a threat whether you want it or not. You're getting together.Everybody up. There's a meal ready, there's a banquet that is set and the food is getting cold and you are the reason why the drinks are watered down. That's go. You don't hear me calling you. ComeWhat I keep hearing. You have to know that God is speaking to people and saying that there's an invitation coming and you better get right. You better get washed up. Tam me said, you better let somebody pour that water over your hands. You better get washed up and get ready for dinner. I'm calling you. Come on in this house. Come on in this house. And this house is for everybody. Martin Luther King called it the world house. Everybody's coming in and you ain't got to like it doesn't matter. Get somewhere and sit down. That's that old church mother coming out of me and lemme just confess. I didn't even want to be on here this morning. I told God I didn't feel like talking. I told the Lord and you see what happened.Promise you. I'm a child. I'm full of disobedience.I was not in the mood. I said, I don't want to talk to nobody. I'm an introvert. I don't want to deal with none of this. Get somebody else to do it and look at it.Tamice (40:39):Yeah. It's funny because I woke up this morning, I was like, I'm not, I forgot. And then after all of the news today, I was like, I just don't have it in you, but this is, wait a minute. And it was three minutes past the time. Come on. And I was like, oh, well shoot. The house is empty. Nobody's here right now. I was like, well, lemme just log on. So this is definitely, it feels like definitely our calling do feel. I feel that way. I don't have time to bullshitSo I can't get out of it. I can't go to bed. I might as well say something. It won't let me go. I cannot do deceit. I can't do it. I can't sit idly by while people lie on God. I can't do that. I can't do it. It won't let up. And I'm trying to get in my body, get in this grass and get a little space. But I'm telling you, it won't let me go. And I feel it's important, Dee, you can't stop doing what you're doing. That's right. I mean is this thing of it is beyond me. It is living out of me. It's coming through me. And there has to be a reason for this. There's got to be a reason for this. And I don't know what it is because I know my eschatology is different, but I feel like, buddy, we got to manifest this kingdom. We have to manifest it until it pushes all that shit back. Come on. I'm telling you. Till it scurries it away or renders it and null and void, I'm talking. I mean, I want the type of light and glory on my being. That wicked logic disintegrate, wicked people drop dead. I mean that just in the Bible. In the Bible where Hert falls, headlong and worms eat em. Y'all celebrate that. Why can't I think about that? It's in your scriptures or daykin and the thing breaks and the legs of this false God break. I want that. I'm here for that. I'm going after that.Danielle (43:14):You think that this is what the definition of Terry is? That we're all Terry serious. I'm rocking the whole time. I'm serious. Right. That's what I told my kids. I said, in one sense, this is a one person of many that thinks this way. So we can't devote all our conversation in our house to this man. And I said in the other sense, because Starlet was asking me before he got here, how you doing? I said, we got up and I took calls from this person and that person and I told my kids, we're still advocating and doing what we can for the neighbors that need papers. And so we're going to continue doing that. That is the right thing to do. No matter what anybody else is doing in the world, we can do this.Tamice (43:56):Yeah, that's a good call. I mean, I'm headed to, I ain't going to say where I'm going no more, but I'm headed somewhere and going to be with people who are doing some innovation, right. Thinking how do we build a different world? How do our skillsets and passions coalesce and become something other than this? So I'm excited about that. And it's like that fire, it doesn't just drive me to want to rebuke. It does drive me to want to rebuild and rethink how we do everything. And I'm willing, I mean, I know that I don't know about y'all, but I feel like this, I'm getting out of dodge, but also I'm seeking the piece of the city. I feel both. I feel like I'm not holding hands with ridiculousness and I'm not moving in foolishness. But also I'm finna seek the piece of the city. My G I'm not running from delusion. Why would I? I'm in the truth. So I don't know how that maps onto a practical life, but we're finna figure it out. Out in it. I mean, the response of leadership to what has happened is a very clear sign where we are in terms of fascism. That's a very clear sign.What else y'all are looking for To tell you what it is.Danielle (45:36):But also we're the leaders. We are, we're the leaders. They're a leader of something, but they're not the leader of us. We're the leaders. We're the leaders. So no matter what they say, no matter what hate they spew, I really love Cesar Chavez. He's like, I still go out and feed the farm worker and I don't make them get on the boycott line because if they're pushed under the dirt, then they can't see hope. So people that have more economic power, a little more privilege than the other guy, we're the leaders. We're the ones that keep showing up in love. And love is a dangerous thing for these folks. They can't understand it. They can't grasp it. It is violent for them to feel love. Bodies actually reject it. And the more we show up, you're innovating. You're speaking Starla, you're preaching. We're the leaders. They're leaders of something. They're not leaders of us. We're leaders of freedom.Tamice (46:31):Come on now. D, we're leaders of give us thisStarlette (46:34):Bomb. We're leaders of compassion. You coming in here with the Holy Ghosts, acting like one of them church mothers. We were in the room together. She put our hand on us. YouDanielle (46:43):We're the ones that can remember Trey. We're the ones that can call for justice. We don't need them to do it. They've never done it. Right. Anyway. They have never showed up for a Mexican kid. They've never showed up for a black kid. They've never done it. Right. Anyway, we're the ones that can do it now. We have access to technology. We have access to our neighbors. We can bring a meal to a friend. We can give dollars to someone that needs gas. We're the the one doing it. We're the one that doing itTamice (47:11):Fill usDanielle (47:12):Up. They cannot take away our love.Starlette (47:15):Receive the benediction.Danielle: Yeah. They can't take it away. I'm telling you, if I saw someone shooting someone I hate, I would try to save that person. I don't own guns. I don't believe in guns, period. My family, that's my personal family's belief.And I would do that. I've thought about it many times. I thought would I do it? And I think I would because I actually believe that. I believe that people should not be shot dead. I believe that for the white kid. I believe that for the Mexican kid. I believe that for the black kid, we're the people that can show up. They're not going to come out here. They're inviting us to different kind of war. We're not in that war. That's right. We have love on our side and you cannot defeat love, kill love. You can'tTamice (48:04):Kill love and you can't kill life. That's the only reason somebody would ask you to be nonviolent. That's the only way somebody would've the audacity to ask that of you. Especially if you're oppressed. If the true is truth is that you can't kill love or life, damn man. It's hard out here for a pimp.Starlette (48:38):Really. Really? Yeah. Because what I really want to say isTamice (49:27):I can't. Your testimony a lie. No. Your testimony. That would be a lie. And like I said, truth telling is important. But there are days where I could be that I could go there, but I witnessed what happened that day. I watched the video. It's just not normal to watch that happen to anybody. And I don't care who you are. And the fact that we're there is just objectively just wow. And the fact that all of the spin and do y'all not realize what just happened? Just as a actual event. Right. What? You know, I'm saying how has this turned into diatribes? Right? We need reform. I, whichDanielle (50:29):Which, okay, so I have to cut us off. I have a client coming, but I want to hear from you, given all the nuance and complexity, how are you going to take care of your body this week or even just today? It doesn't have to be genius. Just one or two things you're going to do. Oh, I'm going toTamice (50:51):Take a nap. Yeah, you taking a nap? Y'all be so proud of me. I literally just said no to five things. I was like, I'm not coming to this. I'm not doing that. I won't be at this. I'm grieving. I'm go sit in the grass. Yeah, that's what I'm doing today. And I have stuff coming up. I'm like, Nope, I'm not available.Starlette (51:14):What about you Danielle? What are you going to do?Danielle (51:16):I'm going to eat scrambled eggs with no salt. I love that. I've grown my liver back so I have to have no salt. But I do love scrambled eggs. Scrambled eggs. That's the truth. Four. Four scrambled eggs.Starlette (51:31):And we thank you for your truth. BIO:The Reverend Dr. Starlette Thomas is a poet, practical theologian, and itinerant prophet for a coming undivided “kin-dom.” She is the director of The Raceless Gospel Initiative, named for her work and witness and an associate editor at Good Faith Media. Starlette regularly writes on the sociopolitical construct of race and its longstanding membership in the North American church. Her writings have been featured in Sojourners, Red Letter Christians, Free Black Thought, Word & Way, Plough, Baptist News Global and Nurturing Faith Journal among others. She is a frequent guest on podcasts and has her own. The Raceless Gospel podcast takes her listeners to a virtual church service where she and her guests tackle that taboo trinity— race, religion, and politics. Starlette is also an activist who bears witness against police brutality and most recently the cultural erasure of the Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, D.C. It was erected in memory of the 2020 protests that brought the world together through this shared declaration of somebodiness after the gruesome murder of George Perry Floyd, Jr. Her act of resistance caught the attention of the Associated Press. An image of her reclaiming the rubble went viral and in May, she was featured in a CNN article.Starlette has spoken before the World Council of Churches North America and the United Methodist Church's Council of Bishops on the color- coded caste system of race and its abolition. She has also authored and presented papers to the members of the Baptist World Alliance in Zurich, Switzerland and Nassau, Bahamas to this end. She has cast a vision for the future of religion at the National Museum of African American History and Culture's “Forward Conference: Religions Envisioning Change.” Her paper was titled “Press Forward: A Raceless Gospel for Ex- Colored People Who Have Lost Faith in White Supremacy.” She has lectured at The Queen's Foundation in Birmingham, U.K. on a baptismal pedagogy for antiracist theological education, leadership and ministries. Starlette's research interests have been supported by the Louisville Institute and the Lilly Foundation. Examining the work of the Reverend Dr. Clarence Jordan, whose farm turned “demonstration plot” in Americus, Georgia refused to agree to the social arrangements of segregation because of his Christian convictions, Starlette now takes this dirt to the church. Her thesis is titled, “Afraid of Koinonia: How life on this farm reveals the fear of Christian community.” A full circle moment, she was recently invited to write the introduction to Jordan's newest collection of writings, The Inconvenient Gospel: A Southern Prophet Tackles War, Wealth, Race and Religion.Starlette is a member of the Christian Community Development Association, the Peace & Justice Studies Association, and the Koinonia Advisory Council. A womanist in ministry, she has served as a pastor as well as a denominational leader. An unrepentant academician and bibliophile, Starlette holds degrees from Buffalo State College, Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School and Wesley Theological Seminary. Last year, she was awarded an honorary doctorate in Sacred Theology for her work and witness as a public theologian from Wayland Baptist Theological Seminary. She is the author of "Take Me to the Water": The Raceless Gospel as Baptismal Pedagogy for a Desegregated Church and a contributing author of the book Faith Forward: A Dialogue on Children, Youth & a New Kind of Christianity. Dr. Tamice Spencer - HelmsGod is not a weapon.  Authenticity is not a phase.Meet  Tamice Spencer-Helms (they/she).

In this episode, Erin & Tam sit down with Jamie Shrum, a mom who left behind corporate burnout to follow her plant-loving soul. From Southern California roots to Midwest winters, her journey led her to create SoCal Soul, a plant and gift shop designed to spark joy, build community, and remind us that hobbies can heal. Together we explore how stepping away from corporate life changed the way she shows up at home, whether her passion for plants still feels like a hobby, and why creating space for community has been just as important as growing the plants themselves.   Links: www.socal-soul.com https://www.facebook.com/socalsoulplants @socalsoulplants

Shawn O'Malley and Daniel Mahncke break down Match Group (ticker: MTCH), a company that operates as part of a duopoly in online dating, owning a number of dating platforms, including Tinder, Match.com, Hinge, OkCupid, and more, with specialized platforms appealing to certain demographics and dating niches.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: 00:00 – Intro 07:24 - What advantages Match Group has in its favor as the world's largest online-dating company 29:05 - About Match's origin story as a spinoff and its executive turnover 35:59 - The biggest structural challenges weighing on Match Group's growth 44:44 - Why the senior dating market may be a growth engine for Match Group 46:50 - How Match Group operates and competes as part of a duopoly with Bumble 47:19 - Why investors are so weary of the online dating industry 01:03:18 - How to think about modeling MTCH's intrinsic value 01:07:28 - Whether Shawn and Daniel add MTCH to their Intrinsic Value Portfolio *Disclaimer: Slight timestamp discrepancies may occur due to podcast platform differences.

Krucjaty to wyprawy rycerzy chrześcijańskich. Takich rycerzy nazywa się krzyżowcami bo naszywali sobie krzyże na ubrania. Krucjat było wiele, my jednak skupimy się dzisiaj na pierwszych trzech, bo są one najważniejsze. Wszystkie krucjaty odbyły się w okresie, który nazywa się średniowieczem.Kiedy rozpoczęło się średniowiecze?Zachodnie cesarstwo rzymskie upadło w 476. Niektórzy wolą rok 500 jako początek średniowiecza, bo łatwiej go zapamiętać. A jak długo trwało średniowiecze? Średniowiecze trwało jakieś 1000 lat. Jeżeli się zaczęło w 500 roku to skończyło się w 1500. Cesarstwo rzymskie podzieliło się na dwie części, ta część zachodnia upadła w 476, a ta druga wschodnia część prawie 1000 lat później w 1453. Ponieważ za początek średniowiecza wielu uznaje upadek zachodniego cesarstwa więc za koniec uznają upadek drugiej części czyli wschodniego cesarstwa bizantyjskiego. Ale inni wolą np. rok 1492, w którym odkryto Amerykę. Historycy się o to kłócą, która data jest poprawna, wy możecie zapamiętać, że średniowiecze zaczęło się w roku 500, a skończyło w roku 1500. Przez te tysiąc lat wydarzyło się wiele rzeczy. My dzisiaj będziemy mówić o historii Ziemi Świętej. Tak chrześcijanie nazywali tereny wokół Jerozolimy.Co się działo z tym miastem przez te 1000 lat średniowiecza? W roku 500 gdy zaczynało się średniowiecze w Jerozolimie oraz w Ziemi Świętej mieszkali chrześcijanie. Jednak w 638 roku miasto to zdobyli muzułmanie. O Islamie mówiliśmy w odcinku 123. Chrześcijanie chcieli jednak dalej chodzić na pielgrzymki do Jerozolimy aby zobaczyć miejsce, gdzie został pochowany Jezus. Muzułmanie przez długi czas im na to pozwalali. Jednak w XI wieku zaczęli napadać na pielgrzymów. Wtedy papież Urban II zwołał synod w Clermont we Francji. Synod to takie spotkanie.Na tym synodzie w 1095 papież zachęcił chrześcijan aby odebrali muzułmanom Ziemię Świętą.Co udało się zdobyć krzyżowcom? Chrześcijańscy rycerze, których nazywa się krzyżowcami zdobyli najpierw miasto Edessę, później Antiochię, potem Jerozolimę, a na koniec jeszcze Tripolis.Jak spojrzycie na mapę, to prawie wszystkie te królestwa znajdują się przy Morzu Śródziemnym. Księstwo Antiochii, Hrabstwo Trypolisu oraz Królestwo Jerozolimskie miały dostęp do morza. Tamtędy mogli przybywać inni rycerze chrześcijaństcy. Jedynie hrabstwo Edessy leżało dalej i nie miało dostępu do Morza Śródziemnego.Po pierwszej krucjacie powstały te cztery państwa chrześcijańskie. Dlaczego więc mniej więcej 50 lat później wyruszono na drugą krucjatę? Rycerze postanowili wyruszyć na drugą krucjatę gdy usłyszeli, że upadło Hrabstwo Edessy. To państwo nie miało dostępu do morza. Na drugą krucjatę oprócz mężczyzn wyruszyła także kobieta.Zaraz obok Hrabstwa Edessy znajdowało się Księstwo Antiochii. W Księstwie Antiochii rządził stryj Eleonory Akwitańskiej. Co to znaczy stryj? Stryj to brat ojca, dzisiaj się mówi wujek. Eleonora chciała pomóc swojemu stryjowi, księciu Antiochii. Jej mąż był przeciwny temu. Z tego powodu Eleonora pokłóciła się ze swoim mężem królem Francji. Z Ziemi Świętej popłynęli na osobnych statkach do Rzymu. Tam papież starał się ich pogodzić Eleonorę i jej męża. Ostatecznie ich małżeństwo zostało unieważnione i Eleonora wyszła za mąż za króla Anglii.Dlaczego rozpoczęto trzecią krucjatę? Wszystkich muzułmanów zjednoczył Saladyn. Zaatakował on i zdobył Jerozolimę. Dowiedzieli się o tym władcy w Europie i postanowili odbić to miasto.Kto wyruszył na trzecią krucjatę? Wyruszyło trzech władców: król Anglii Ryszard Lwie Serce, król Francji Filip II August oraz cesarz niemiecki Barbarossa. Niestety cesarz nie dotarł do ziemi świętej. Był ubrany w ciężką zbroję i wpadł do rzeki. Król Francji Filip II August i król Anglii Ryszard razem oblegali miasto Akkę. Później jednak król Francji się zniechęcił. Aby odbić Jerozolimę wyruszył sam Ryszard Lwie Serce. Król Anglii pokonał wojska muzułmanów w bitwie pod Arsuf, a później także pod Jaffą.Gdyby Ryszard został w Ziemi Świętej być może pokonałby Saladyna i odbił Jerozolimę. Jednak w Anglii pozostał jego brat Jan bez Ziemi, który zaczął spiskować. Król Anglii musiał więc też wrócić do kraju. Wcześniej jednak zawarł pokój z Saladynem. Jerozolima pozostała w rękach muzułmanów, ale chrześcijanie mogli tam pielgrzymować bez przeszkód.Dlaczego I krucjata się udała, a II i III nie? Gdy krzyżowcy wyruszali na pierwszą krucjatę byli zjednoczeni, a muzułmanie byli podzieleni. Później się sytuacja zmieniała. Podczas trzeciej krucjaty muzułmanie byli zjednoczeni pod wodzą Saladyna.Dzisiaj omawialiśmy jedno z najważniejszych wydarzeń w średniowieczu. Podczas Pierwszej Krucjaty odważni chrześcijanie zdobyli Jerozolimę. Po tym wielkim zwycięstwie, założyli cztery małe królestwa. Gdy muzułmanie odzyskali jedno z nich, Hrabstwo Edessy, wyruszyła Druga Krucjata. Niestety, nie była ona tak udana. W końcu, gdy muzułmanie zdobyli samą Jerozolimę, rycerze z Europy wyruszyli w kolejną, Trzecią Krucjatę, żeby odzyskać Święte Miasto. Nie udało im się. Jerozolima była w rękach krzyżowców, czyli chrześcijan, przez 88 lat (od 1099 do 1187 roku.Podsumowanie:Co to było średniowiecze?Kiedy zaczęło się średniowiecze?Co się stało z Jerozolimę w średniowieczu?Kto rozpoczął I krucjatę?Dlaczego rozpoczęła się II krucjata?Komu chciała pomóc Eleonora Akwitańska?Co się stało ze stryjem Eleonory, księciem Antiochii?Dlaczego wyruszono na trzecią krucjatę?Kto wyruszył na trzecią krucjatę?Czym się różnia chrześcijanie od muzułmanów?Jaki znak mają muzułmanie?Dlaczego I krucjata się powiodła a II i III nie?Średniowiecze rozpoczęło się około roku 500. Jerozolima była wtedy chrześcijańskim miastem. Jednak 150 lat później zdobyli ją muzułmanie. Początkowo chrześcijanie mogli iść do Jerozolimy na pielgrzymkę. Później jednak muzułmanie zaczęli na nich napadać. Wtedy papież Urban II w 1095 roku wezwał rycerzy do krucjaty czyli odbicia Jerozolimy i Ziemi Świętej z rąk muzułmanów. Rycerze europejscy wyruszyli na I krucjatę i zdobyli Edessę, później Antiochię, potem Jerozolimę, a na koniec jeszcze Tripolis. Powstały 4 królestwa chrześcijańskie. Niestety 50 lat później muzułmanie zdobyli jedno z nich - Edessę i zaczęli zagrażać Antiochii. Księciem Antiochii był stryj Eleonory Akwitańskiej. Wyruszyła ona wraz ze swoim mężem królem Francji na II krucjatę. Niestety pokłócili się i wrócili do Francji. Wuj Eleonory zginął. Wtedy ona rozwiodła się z królem Francji i wyszła za mąż za króla Anglii. Urodziła mu ośmioro dzieci, z których najsłynniejszy był Ryszard Lwie Serce. Gdy muzułmanie zdobyli Jerozolimę wyruszył on na III krucjatę. Mieli mu pomagać król Francji i cesarz Barbarosa, ale ostatecznie Ryszard musiał sam walczyć z wodzem muzułmanów Saladynem. Na koniec i on musiał wrócić do Anglii bo jego brat Jan bez Ziemi chciał mu odebrać koronę. Chrześcijanom udało się odbić Jerozolimę na prawie 100 lat. Później jednak ponownie zdobyli ją muzułmanie.Ten odcinek zawiera uproszczoną historię.
