トレイルランニングの世界で起きた1週間の出来事を、背景にある力学とともに深く読み解くDogsorCaravanのニュース番組「Monday Night Run powered by Goldwin」。毎週月曜夜にYouTubeプレミア公開+ポッドキャスト配信。今週は、富士登山駅伝で平成山岳会が御殿場・滝ケ原自衛隊の10連覇を止めた一戦から。一般の部の優勝タイムが自衛隊の部を上回るのは、両部門が分かれた2005年以降で初めてのことです。アメリカのBadwater 135では男女ともにコースレコードが更新され、石川佳彦選手が7年間守ってきた記録がついに破られました。さらに、この2〜3週間で北米・ヨーロッパで立て続けに報じられている大陸規模のFKT、そしてシャモニー市長のUTMB批判、香港100の定員大幅削減、山火事による大会中止と、山の使われ方をめぐる動きまで。今週は「誰が、どうやって山を使うのか」という一本の線でお届けします。
A turizmusnak évről évre egyre komolyabb részaránya van a világgazdaság működéséből. Mindez úgy is valósul meg, hogy egyes utazási formák jóval egyszerűbbé váltak a 21. század folyamán. A fapados járatokkal repülve és nagy platformokon foglalva a szállásokat sokak számára a korábbi évi 1-2 hosszabb nyaralásból lett nagyszámú rövidebb út. Ami még nagyon fontos változás, az, hogy a közösségimédia-felületeken szünetmentesen zajlik a globális úti célok promóciója. Illetve az is, hogy 20 év alatt a lakhatáshoz képest nagyon olcsó lett a permanens utazgatás.A fő kérdés, amit a mai adásban vizsgálunk az, hogy lehet-e az addikciók széles körébe besorolni ezt az ország-, kontinens- és világjárást, azaz drog-e az utazás?A mai beszélgetésben Vidovszky Áron, Móró Tamás és Jónap Richárd vesz részt.Olvass minden nap a világ történéseiről egy Concorde-os szemüvegén keresztül: https://www.con.hu/concordeblog/Kövess bennünket minden csatornánkon:https://www.linkedin.com/company/concordecsoport/https://www.instagram.com/concordecsoport/https://www.facebook.com/concorde/https://www.youtube.com/@concorde_csoportBármi, ami a műsorban elhangzik az az abban résztvevők magánvéleményét tükrözi.

Tamara Steffens is managing director of Thomson Reuters Ventures, where she invests in early-stage companies building around legal, tax, accounting, and enterprise workflow. Corporate venture capital can look like a shortcut to customers, distribution, and credibility, but Steffens says founders need to understand what has to be true before strategic money can actually help. In this conversation, we get into what happens after Thomson Reuters Ventures joins your cap table, how founders can turn a corporate investor into real product or go-to-market leverage, and why inflated TAM slides can work against you. We also talk about what founders should do before and after the check clears, why some good businesses should avoid venture capital entirely, and why she says every founder should be thinking earlier about exit paths.

AUGUST Heslo mesiaca: Ježiš Kristus hovorí: „Zlodej prichádza, len aby kradol, zabíjal a hubil. Ja som prišiel, aby mali život, a to v hojnej miere.“ Ján 10,10 Ján 7,25-39 25Nato sa ozvali niektorí Jeruzalemčania: „Či to nie je ten, ktorého chcú zabiť? 26Pozrite, hovorí verejne, a nič mu nepovedia. Vari už aj poprední muži naozaj spoznali, že je to Mesiáš? 27Lenže o tomto vieme, odkiaľ je, keď však príde Mesiáš, nik nebude vedieť, odkiaľ je.“ 28Keď Ježiš učil v chráme, zvolal: „Aj ma poznáte, aj viete, odkiaľ som. No ja som neprišiel sám od seba, ale pravdivý je ten, ktorý ma poslal, a toho vy nepoznáte. 29Ja ho poznám, lebo som od neho a on ma poslal. 30Chceli ho teda chytiť, ale nik nepoložil na neho ruku, lebo ešte neprišla jeho hodina.“ 31Mnohí zo zástupu však uverili v neho a hovorili: „Urobí azda Mesiáš, keď príde, viac znamení ako tento?“ 32Farizeji počuli, čo všetko si o ňom zástup povráva, a tak veľkňazi a farizeji poslali sluhov, aby ho chytili. 33No vtedy povedal Ježiš: „Ešte krátky čas som s vami a potom pôjdem k tomu, ktorý ma poslal. 34Budete ma hľadať, a nenájdete ma; kde som ja, ta vy prísť nemôžete.“ 35Vtedy si Židia medzi sebou hovorili: „Kam chce odísť, že ho nenájdeme? Chce ísť azda do gréckej diaspóry a učiť Grékov? 36Čo je to za reč, ktorú povedal: ‚Budete ma hľadať, a nenájdete ma; kde som ja, ta vy prísť nemôžete‘?“ 37Posledný veľký deň sviatkov Ježiš vstal a zvolal: „Ak je niekto smädný, nech príde ku mne a nech sa napije ten, 38kto verí vo mňa. Ako hovorí Písmo: Prúdy živej vody budú tiecť z jeho vnútra.“ 39To povedal o Duchu, ktorého mali prijať tí, čo v neho uveria. Duch totiž ešte nebol, lebo Ježiš ešte nebol oslávený. Ježišove slová neostali bez odozvy. Náš text zachytáva dvojaký prístup: 1. mnohí uverili v Neho. Áno. Posolstvo Božieho Syna má moc meniť ľudskú osobnosť a aj ju mení. Tam, kde Božia výzva nájde otvorené srdce, dochádza k zmene. Tam sa prebúdza skutočná viera – t. j. človek hovorí „áno“ Božej zvesti o záchrane. No práve zvesť o záchrane mnohých vyrušuje. Mnohí nie sú ochotní prijať a stotožniť sa so stavom hriešnika – človeka, ktorý je „mimo“. Mimo dosahu Božej milosti, žijúci v chaose a zmätku. A tu je 2. spôsob odozvy: odmietnutie, prekrúcanie, podozrievanie, predsudky: „Či z Galiley príde Kristus?“. A rovnaký vzorec správania badáme aj dnes. I v tejto dobe ľudia odmietajú Krista, lebo vraj potrebujú niečo iné. A nevedia, že umierajú od smädu, lebo ho už neraz ani necítia. No náš Spasiteľ nám aj dnes dáva tú istú ponuku, ako vtedy v chráme: „Ak niekto žízni, nech príde ku Mne a napije sa. Ako Písmo hovorí: Rieky živej vody potečú z vnútra toho, kto verí vo Mňa!“ (v. 38). A tak, ako fyzický smäd uhasíme vodou, ten duchovný sa dá uhasiť jedine Duchom Svätým, ktorý nás povoláva, osvecuje, posväcuje a zachováva v jedinej pravej viere. Modlitba: Bože, ďakujem, že napriek opozícii šíriš Svoju lásku. Odpusť, že často nemám chuť a odvahu žiť pre Teba, keď prichádzajú protivenstvá. Veď ma Kristovým Duchom, nech odolám každému tlaku. Amen. Pieseň: ES 287 Autor: Viliam Solárik Nebudeš túžiť po manželke svojho blížneho, ani sa lakomiť na dom svojho blížneho. 5.Mojžišova 5,21 Žite podľa Ducha a nebudete spĺňať žiadosti tela. Galaťanom 5,16 Filipanom 2,(13)14-18 • Modlíme sa za: Veľký Lom (NoS) Otázky na rozjímanie: Ako dnes prijímam Ježišovu výzvu: „Ak je niekto smädný, nech príde ku mne a nech sa napije“? Kde v mojom živote sa viac prejavuje odmietnutie, podozrievanie alebo predsudok, namiesto viery? Žijem dnes z Ducha, alebo stále pod tlakom „smädu“ tohto sveta? Aplikácia do života: Napíš si krátku modlitbu k Ježišovi a urob jeden konkrétny krok viery: príď k Nemu v modlitbe, prečítaj si kúsok Biblie alebo sa rozhodni žiť dnes podľa Ducha. Dnes som vďačný za tieto 3 veci: _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ Viac o vďačnosti, čo to je, prečo je dôležité byť vďačný, ako praktizovať vďačnosť nájdeš na blogu

Ján 6,60-71 60Vtedy mnohí z jeho učeníkov, čo to počuli, povedali: „Tvrdá je táto reč. Kto ju môže počúvať?“ 61Keďže Ježiš sám vedel, že jeho učeníci proti tomu šomrú, povedal im: „Toto vás pohoršuje? 62A čo až uvidíte Syna človeka vystupovať ta, kde bol predtým? 63Duch oživuje, telo nič neosoží! Slová, ktoré som vám povedal, sú Duch a život. 64No medzi vami sú niektorí, čo neveria. Ježiš totiž vedel od začiatku, ktorí neveria a kto ho zradí.“ 65A dodal: „Preto som vám povedal, že nikto nemôže prísť ku mne, ak mu to nebude dané od Otca.“ 66Preto mnohí z jeho učeníkov ho opustili a už s ním nechodili. 67Tu povedal Ježiš Dvanástim: „Aj vy chcete odísť?“ 68Odpovedal mu Šimon Peter: „Pane, ku komu by sme šli? Ty máš slová večného života 69a my sme uverili a spoznali, že ty si Boží Svätý.“ 70Ježiš im odpovedal: „Nevyvolil som si vás azda Dvanástich? No jeden z vás je diabol.“ 71Povedal to o Judášovi, synovi Šimona Iškariotského. Ten ho totiž mal zradiť — jeden z Dvanástich. Božie slovo si žiada reakciu. Poznám istého mladého muža. Kedysi bol horlivým mládežníkom. Keď vyrástol, odišiel za prácou do veľkého mesta. Tam si už nenašiel spoločenstvo. Božia reč sa mu zdala tvrdou. Stratil sa vo svete a plamienok jeho viery vyhasol. Aj vtedy – v Jánovom evanjeliu – sa mnohí z tých, ktorí počúvali Pána Ježiša, rozhodli odísť. A odišli. „Či aj vy chcete odísť?“, opýtal sa Pán Svojich učeníkov. Vtedy Peter vyznal: „Pane, ku komu by sme išli? Len Ty máš slovo večného života.“ Celá Biblia hovorí o Božej láske k nám. Čítame v nej o zákone a evanjeliu. Stvorenie, Adam a Eva, prvý hriech a večné zatratenie hriešnika. Božia láska, milosť, Pán Ježiš, Golgota, vzkriesenie, vstúpenie na nebo a večný život veriaceho. Mnohí ľudia sa pýtajú: „Na čo mi to je?“ Božie slovo o Božej milosti si žiada reakciu. Musíme sa k nemu nejako postaviť. Nemôžeme ostať bez názoru. Alebo nad ním mávneme rukou, alebo sa mu vysmejeme, alebo ho prijmeme. Pre náš život je veľmi dôležitý náš postoj k Božiemu slovu. Je to Slovo večného života. Pán Ježiš nás volá k denným rozhodnutiam pre Neho. K dennému nasledovaniu. „Kto vytrvá až dokonca, dostane veniec života“ (Zj 2,10). Modlitba: Pane náš, Ježišu Kriste, ďakujeme Ti za Tvoje slovo! Ešte stále znie v našich cirkevných spoločenstvách aj v našich rodinách. Daj nám, prosíme Ťa, múdrosť aj odvahu, aby sme sa v istote Tvojej blízkosti vždy rozhodli pre život podľa neho. Amen. Pieseň: ES 279 Autor: Marek Semko Slzy mi bývajú chlebom dňom i nocou, keď sa ma každý deň pýtajú: „Kde je tvoj Boh?“ Žalm 42,4 Pavol píše: „Takže to, že som v putách pre Krista, sa stalo známym v celej vládnej budove aj medzi všetkými ostatnými. Mnohí z bratov v Pánovi, posilnení mojimi putami, v dôvere odvážnejšie a bez strachu hlásajú Slovo.“ Filipanom 1,13-14 Príslovia 8,12-21 • Modlíme sa za: Veľké Úľany – Jelka (BaS) Otázky na rozjímanie: Ako dnes žijem z istoty, že „Božie slovo o Božej milosti si žiada reakciu. Musíme sa k nemu nejako postaviť. Nemôžeme ostať bez názoru“ — či som ochotný/á prijať Božie slovo a rozhodnúť sa pre život podľa neho, alebo som stále plný/á toho, že mávam rukou nad Božím slovom, alebo sa mu vys rácujem bez toho, aby som sa postavil k Božiemu slovu? Kde v mojom živote som ako mnohí z učeníkov, ktorí „počuli, povedali: ‚Tvrdá je táto reč. Kto ju môže počúvať?'“ a odišli od Ježiša — či som ochotný/á vytrvať až dokonca a dostane veniec života, alebo som stále plný/á toho, že Božia reč sa mi zdala tvrdou, stratil som sa vo svete a plamienok viery vyhasol bez toho, aby som vytrval až dokonca? Ako dnes žijem z výzvou „Daj nám, prosíme Ťa, múdrosť aj odvahu, aby sme sa v istote Tvojej blízkosti vždy rozhodli pre život podľa neho!“ — či som ochotný/á rozhodnúť sa pre život podľa Božieho slova v istote Tvojej blízkosti, alebo som stále plný/á toho, že nemám múdrosť aj odvahu, aby som sa v istote Tvojej blízkosti vždy rozhodol pre život podľa Božieho slova? Aplikácia do života: Dnes si spomeňte na jednu situáciu, kde ste boli ako mnohí z učeníkov, ktorí odísť od Ježiša, pretože Božia reč sa im zdala tvrdá (tvrdá reč, odísť od Ježiša, plamienok viery vyhasol, stratil sa vo svete). Napíšte si modlitbu: „Pane náš, Ježišu Kriste, ďakujeme Ti za Tvoje slovo! Ešte stále znie v našich cirkevných spoločenstvách aj v našich rodinách. Daj nám, prosíme Ťa, múdrosť aj odvahu, aby sme sa v istote Tvojej blízkosti vždy rozhodli pre život podľa neho!“ Potom urobte jeden krok rozhodovania sa pre život podľa Božieho slova: prijať Božie slovo, vytrvať až dokonca, alebo rozhodnúť sa pre život podľa Božieho slova v istote Tvojej blízkosti.

Prienuose dzūkus ir suvalkiečius per Nemuną jungia Greimų tiltas. Ir tai tik turtina kraštą.Daukšiagirės dvare vedamos istorinės pažintinės ekskursijos, vyksta kultūriniai renginiai, edukacijos ir degustacijos. Ekonomikos mokslus iškeitusi į istorijos pažinimą, renginių organizavimą ir ekskursijų vedimą, Giedrė Ūselytė-Bagdonavičienė negali atsidžiaugti nauju posūkiu gyvenime. Petro Ūselio aukcione įsigyto dvaro istorija perpinta žinomomis Lietuvos asmenybėmis ir jų likimais. Todėl dukra Giedrė Ūselytė-Bagdonavičienė nuolat gilina žinias, ieško naujų šaltinių, įdomių ir retų faktų, kuriais dalijasi per ekskursijas. Ir nesigali pasirinkimu – ekonomikos mokslai iškeisti į istorijos tyrinėjimus.Bona Sforca, valakų reforma, Napoleono žygis, caro laikų traktas Sankt Peterburgas – Varšuvą, kanklės, knygnešiai, partizanai – viskas persipina įvairių epochų istorijos vingiuose ir atskleidžia unikalią istoriją. Ne veltui Skriaudžiai Kanklių metais tapo Lietuvos mažąja kultūros sostine. Susitelkusi bendruomenė savo kaimo istoriją nusprendė atsispindėti renginiuose, kurie vyks iki metų pabaigos. Veiverių kultūros ir laisvalaikio centro direktorė Elena Simonavičienė.Žemaitkiemio kaime susibūrė krašto bendruomenė, kuriai pirmininkauja Vaidas Kupstas. Noras diegti gyvenimo patikrintas vertybes vaikams, juos krikščioniškai ugdyti – vienija Žemaitkiemio krašto žmones. Buvusią kaimo mokyklą pritaikė bendruomenės poreikiams ir dabar ten švenčiama, stovyklaujama, edukuojama, perimasi pirtelėje. „Nuoširdi veikla kelia džiaugsmą: „Sau ir vaikams kuriame įdomesnį ir turiningesnį gyvenimą. Tam negaila laiko ir pinigų“, – sako Diana Kupstienė.Ožkos verčia šypsotis, kelia švelnumo bangą, atlaidumą, dažnai prajuokina. OžkaMalės natūraliame ūkyje vykdomos edukacijos vaikams.

Thanks to AI, you could have an idea for a startup on your way home from work Thursday and finish a rough prototype by Monday morning. That's great news for founders, but it also raises the bar: if everyone can build a convincing demo, what actually separates a durable company from a clever prototype? To explore that question in depth, I interviewed Alex Niehenke a partner at Scale Venture Partners since 2012. He invests in early-stage companies tackling complex industries like insurance, wealth management, construction, and logistics. We discuss why product innovation has to be paired with distribution innovation, how he judges your TAM estimate, how founders create entirely new categories, and what investors are looking for now that building software has never been easier.

That's often a sign you're working on something interesting. It can also cost you fundraising, sales, hiring, and media opportunities.

20260723 - 03 - Tabuk döntögetése, a vonalban Dr. Tóth Tamás by Bochkor
Ukrainā jauna ministru kabineta veidošana ir nonākusi līdz protestiem un armijas virspavēlnieka Oleksandra Sirska nomaiņai. Savukārt Ukrainas triecieni Krievijas teritorijā nu jau skar ne tikai militāros un enerģētikas objektus, bet arī tirdzniecības vietnes "Wildberries" noliktavas. Lielbritānija tikmēr tikusi pie sava nākamā premjera - leiborista Endija Bērnema, kurš Dauningstrītā ieradies, pamatīgi izsvēpējot stārmera veidoto kabinetu. Bet Ungārijā "buldozera lomu" uzņēmies jaunais valsts premjers Pēters Maģars, kurš dažādos valsts līmeņos un struktūrās mēģina izsvēpēt Viktora Orbana laikmeta paliekas. Šos tematus apspriežam kopā ar Martu Eduardu Ivaski no Latvijas Ārpolitikas institūta un portāla "LSM.lv" ārvalstu ziņu redaktoru Ģirtu Kasparānu. Zelenskis nevar, kā ienāk prātā Kad aizpagājušās nedēļas beigās parādījās informācija par līdzšinējās Ukrainas valdības atkāpšanos un jauna kabineta veidošanu, sākotnēji nekas neliecināja, ka process varētu draudēt ar krīzi. 16. jūlijā Ukrainas Augstākā Rada apstiprināja valdību ar līdzšinējo valsts naftas un gāzes koncerna „Naftogaz” vadītāju Serhiju Korecki priekšgalā. Taču saskaņā ar Ukrainas likumdošanu aizsardzības un ārlietu ministru kandidātus izvirza prezidents, un par viņiem Rada balso atsevišķi. Jau valdības apstiprināšanas laikā Kijivas ielās bija sākušies protesti, jo bija parādījusies informācija, ka amatam netiks atkārtoti izvirzīts populārais aizsardzības ministrs Mihailo Fedorovs. Protestētāji izvirzīja arī prasību atcelt no amata līdzšinējo armijas pavēlnieku ģenerāli Oleksandru Sirski. Pastāv viedoklis, ka Ukrainas pašreizējie panākumi kaujas robotu izmantošanā lielā mērā ir ministra Fedorova nopelns, savukārt ģenerālis Sirskis kā „vecās skolas” virsnieks drīzāk kavē šo attīstību. Nākamajās dienās protesti vērsās plašumā un aptvēra arī citas Ukrainas pilsētas. Vakar, 21. jūlijā, prezidents Zelenskis paziņoja, ka atceļ no amata ģenerāli Sirski, par jauno pavēlnieku ieceļot ģenerālmajoru Mihailo Drapatiju. Savukārt bijušajam aizsardzības ministram Mihailo Fedorovam piedāvāts jaunizveidots tehnoloģiju un militāro inovāciju ministra portfelis. Par aizsardzības ministra pienākumu izpildītāju iecelts drošības spēku ģenerālmajors, kopš šī gada sākuma arī Ukrainas Drošības dienesta priekšnieka pienākumu izpildītājs Jevhenijs Hmara. Nedienas ar aizsardzības ministra izraudzīšanos aizkavējušas arī ārlietu resora vadītāja apstiprināšanu, un līdzšinējais ministrs Andrijs Sibiha, kuram, visdrīzāk, vajadzēja saglabāt amatu, pagaidām to ieņem pagaidu pienākumu izpildītāja statusā. Neskatoties uz diezgan juceklīgo situāciju, Augstākā Rada tomēr nolēmusi doties plānotajās brīvdienās līdz 18. augustam. Jaunumi ukraiņu lidrobotu „ēdienkartē” Pēdējās dienas papildinājušas Ukrainas lidrobotu triecienu „ēdienkarti” ar jaunu objektu kategoriju: nedēļas nogalē uzlidojums praktiski iznīcinājis divus tīmekļa tirdzniecības tīkla „Wildberries” noliktavu kompleksus – vienu Piemaskavā, otru Tambovas apgabalā. Iespējami zaudējumi pārsniedz divus miljardus dolāru, astoņi noliktavās strādājošie zaudējuši dzīvību, desmitiem ievainoti. „Wildberries” ir lielākais šāda veida komercijas tīkls Krievijā, kurā nodarbināti gandrīz piecdesmit tūkstoši strādājošo. Kompāniju pirms vairāk nekā divdesmit gadiem radīja individuālā uzņēmēja Tatjana Kima, taču, kā tas mēdz notikt ar sekmīgiem uzņēmējdarbības projektiem Krievijā, pirms vairākiem gadiem viņai nācās „padalīties” ar varas aprindām pietuvinātiem ļaudīm. Pie tam par pīrāga daļu saplūcās tādi ietekmīgi ļaudis, kā Čečenijas vietvaldis Ramzans Kadirovs no vienas un Krievijas Prezidenta administrācijas vadītājs Antons Vaino un oligarhs Suleimans Kerimovs no otras puses. Notika pat apšaude ar kritušajiem Maskavas centrā, un, cik var spriest, procesā iejaucās pats Vladimirs Putins, izšķirot to par labu Vaino un Kerimova frakcijai. Ievērojot šīs saiknes ar varas struktūrām, nenākas brīnīties, ka „Wildberries” sortimentā plaši pārstāvēti arī karā lietojami izstrādājumi un materiāli: ķiveres, bruņu vestes, optiskais kabelis un plašs klāsts lidrobotu komponentu. Tādējādi Ukrainas lidrobotu „vizīte” bija, var teikt, tikai laika jautājums. Jāpiebilst, ka „Wildberries” loģistikas ķēdes un noliktavas plaši izmanto mazie un vidējie uzņēmēji, un ir tādi, kuri šais uzbrukumos zaudējuši praktiski visus apgrozāmos līdzekļus. Dauningstrītas 10 jaunais iemītnieks Pirmdien, 20. jūlijā, darbu uzsāka jaunais Lielbritānijas premjerministrs Endijs Bērnems. Viņu Leiboristu partija 17. jūlijā izraudzījās par savu jauno līderi pēc tam, kad viņa priekšgājējs Kīrs Stārmers paziņoja par demisiju. Saskaņā ar britu politisko sistēmu šādā gadījumā valdošās partijas iekšējā balsojumā tiek izraudzīts jauns partijas un valdības vadītājs, un līdzšinējais Lielās Mančestras lordmērs Bērnems guva pārliecinošu savu partijas biedru atbalstu. Bērnems ieguvis mākslu maģistra grādu angļu valodas specialitātē Kembridžas universitātē, strādājis par žurnālistu, 31 gada vecumā pirmoreiz ievēlēts parlamentā. Neilgi pēc tam Bērnems ieņēma vairākus ministra amatus premjerministra Gordona Brauna valdībā laikā no 2007. līdz 2010. gadam. Pēc aiziešanas no parlamenta 2017. gadā Bērnems tika ievēlēts Lielās Mančestras mēra amatā, kur ieguva atzinību par transporta reformu vadīšanu, reģionālās decentralizācijas atbalstīšanu un nozīmīgu vietējo politikas iniciatīvu īstenošanu. Tieši šajā amatā viņš nostiprināja savu reputāciju kā politiķis, kurš iestājas par lielāku varas nodošanu reģioniem un vietvarām, un izpelnījās pavārdu „Ziemeļu karalis”. Stājoties amatā, jaunais premjerministrs uzsvēris cenšanos veidot savu komandu, iekļaujot tajā dažādu partijas spārnu pārstāvjus. Tomēr, kā atzīmē izdevums „Politico”, no valdības pazuduši iepriekšējā premjera tuvākie līdzgaitnieki un kopumā tā kļuvusi mērenāk kreisa. Jaunais finanšu ministrs būs Džons Hīlijs, kurš iepriekšējā valdībā bija aizsardzības ministrs un demisionēja, kritizēdams finanšu sektoru par attīstības bremzēšanu. Aizsardzības ministra amatu, savukārt, ieņems līdzšinējais veselības ministrs Vess Strītings. Ārlietu resoru turpmāk vadīs līdzšinējais enerģētikas un nulles emisiju lietu ministrs Eds Milibends, prominents un pieredzējis politiķis. Luīze Heiga, kas tiek raksturota kā viena no ciešākajām jaunā premjera sabiedrotajām, kļuvusi par pirmo sekretāri, respektīvi, premjera vietnieci, un Kabineta biroja vadītāju. Savā pirmajā premjera runā Bērnems uzsvēra decentralizācijas, rūpniecības un sabiedrisko pakalpojumu attīstības nozīmi, atspoguļojot prioritātes, kuras viņš iepriekš īstenoja kā mērs un pats nodēvējis par “mančestrismu”. Ārpolitikā Bērnems ir paudis vēlmi veidot ciešāku sadarbību un nostiprināt jau panākto progresu sarunās ar Eiropas Savienību. Premjerministrs atkārtoti apstiprināja Lielbritānijas atbalstu NATO un palīdzības sniegšanu Ukrainai. Pagaidām grūti spriest, kādas izvērtīsies jaunā Dauningstrītas iemītnieka attiecības ar Donaldu Trampu, kas lielā mērā noteiks arī attiecības starp Londonu un Vašingtonu. Diezin vai paredzama nozīmīga britu nostājas maiņa Persijas līča karadarbības vai imigrācijas jautājumā, kas varētu Baltā nama saimnieku īpaši iepriecināt, taču pirmā abu līderu telefonsaruna esot atstājusi pozitīvu iespaidu. Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš un Artis Tomsons. Pētera Maģara sprints un barjerskrējiens Vēl nav pagājuši trīs mēneši, kopš Ungārijas premjerministra amatā stājās Pēters Maģars, taču valsts iekšpolitiskajā ainavā un ārpolitiskajā kursā notikušas krasas un sagaidāmas pārmaiņas. Vēlēšanas nesa partijai „Tisza” ne vien uzvaru, bet arī konstitucionālo vairākumu, un tas dod jaunajai valdībai diezgan labu atvēzienu, mēžot priekšgājēja, odiozā prokremliskā līdera Viktora Orbāna 16 varas gados piekrātos „Augeja staļļus”. Tūlītējas un pamanāmas pārmaiņas notika Ungārijas ārpolitikā. Pagājušajos pāris mēnešos jaunais Ungārijas līderis jau paguvis apmeklēt daudzas Eiropas galvaspilsētas. Briselē viņš panācis līdz šim iesaldēto vairāk nekā 16 miljardu eiro fondu saņemšanu, Varšavā atjaunojis labas attiecības ar nozīmīgāko reģionālo partneri Poliju, Kijivā vienojies, ka Budapešta vairs nebloķēs Ukrainas virzību uz Eiropas Savienību, pretim saņemot konkrētas apņemšanās Ukrainas Aizkarpatu reģionā mītošās ungāru minoritātes situācijas uzlabošanai. Taču, kā savā rakstā izdevumā „Internationale Politik Quarterly” pauž Centrāleiropas valstu politikas eksperte Žužanna Vēga, ja Petera Maģāra līdzšinējā starptautiskā darbība esot īsts sprints, tad viņa iekšpolitika drīzāk ir barjerskrējiens. Jaunajam valdības galvam nākas demontēt un reformēt varas mehānismus, kurus viņa priekšgājējs sabūvējis savas politiskās konjunktūras labā. Eiropas fondu atsaldēšana kļuvusi iespējama pirmām kārtām pateicoties gatavībai skaust partijas „Fidesz” laikā sazēlušo korupciju un necaurspīdīgumu to izlietojumā. Spilgta ir jaunās valdības rīcība, reformējot Ungārijas sabiedriskos raidītājus, kurus iepriekšējā vara bija pārvērtusi valdošās partijas propagandas mašīnā. Kopš jūlija sākuma sabiedriskās televīzijas ziņu kanālā M1 raidījumu vietā skatītājus sagaida tumšs ekrāns ar uzrakstu: „Sabiedriskie mediji nedrīkst melot. Lūdzam piedošanu, ka to tik ilgi darījām!” Seko informācija par notiekošo mediju reformēšanu un aicinājums gaidīt pārraižu atjaunošanos. Orbāns un partija „Fidesz” savas varas gados praktiski visur amatos savietojusi savējos, kuri daudzos gadījumos sagaidāmi sabotēs pārmaiņu procesus. Premjerministrs Maģars aicinājis daudzus iepriekšējā konjunktūras ielikteņus labprātīgi aiziet, sākot jau ar līdzšinējo Ungārijas prezidentu Tamāšu Šujoku. Kad valsts galva atteicās to darīt, parlaments 13. jūlijā pieņēma konstitūcijas grozījumus, kas paredz, cita starpā, prezidenta pilnvaru izbeigšanu. 18. jūlijā prezidents Šujoks šos labojumus apstiprināja, tādējādi piekrizdams aiziet. Tagad Ungāriju gaida ārkārtas prezidenta vēlēšanas. Vairāki ievērojami sabiedrības pārstāvji nākuši klajā ar publisku vēstuli, aicinot partiju „Tisza” nominēt valsts galvas amatam izcilo šahisti, pašreizējo Pasaules šaha federācijas sieviešu reitinga līderi Judīti Polgāru. Tomēr viņa laipni atteicās no nominācijas. Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš.

Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 121-points this morning from Friday's close, at 42,793 on turnover of 15.5-billion N-T. The market saw its biggest single-day drop on record last Friday -- tumbling just over 2,950-points -- as a sell-off in artificial intelligence-related shares dragged Wall Street lower and weighed on global equities. President Lai honors F-16V pilot who died in January training accident President Lai Ching-te has presented a posthumous presidential citation (追授獎項) honoring Air Force pilot Hsin Po-yi. Hsin died after his F-16V fighter jet crashed during a nighttime training mission off of Hualien in January. Hsin's father, Hsin Chin-yu, accepted the citation from Lai at a ceremony. Hsin served with the Air Force's Hualien-based 5th Tactical Composite Wing and was posthumously promoted from captain to major and awarded the Order of Loyalty and Valor. Hsin's F-16V fighter jet disappeared from radar on the evening of January 6 on a routine raining mission shortly after he reported becoming separated from the lead aircraft while flying through clouds. The aircraft's flight data recorder was recovered in March. Taiwan's students shine at international Biology, Chemistry Olympiads Taiwan students have ranked first and third, respectively, in gold medal tallies, at the International Biology Olympiad and the International Chemistry Olympiad.

Both events took place in Vilnius, Lithuania, According to the Ministry of Education, Taiwan sent students from the Taipei Municipal Chien Kuo High School, the Taipei First Girls High School the Taichung Municipal Taichung First Senior High School to the event. Taiwan's four-gold haul topped the medal table among 78 participating countries and 302 contestants. US STRIKES ABADAN AS WASHINGTON FACES QUESTIONS OVER MILITARY READINESS FOR WIDER IRAN CONFLICT The United States struck targets on the outskirts of the Iranian city of Abadan on Sunday evening, extending what has now been more than a week of consecutive American strikes against Iran. The latest attack came as the White House faces accusations (指控) of sending mixed signals on its strategy — having reimposed sanctions on Iranian oil exports after initially lifting them under a memorandum of understanding that now appears to have collapsed. Kate Fisher reports from Washington. Nigeria UNICEF Warns of Child Malnutrition Health workers in northern Nigeria say more children are relapsing into malnutrition and cite knock-on effects from the war in the Middle East. The region is already under pressure from an insurgency crisis. The conflict in the Middle East has worsened food security for millions, especially children. UNICEF warns that if the war continues, millions more children could fall into poverty. The war has also affected fertilizer supplies and prices, threatening the planting season and worsening the fate (命運) of mostly farming communities in northern Nigeria. Hungary President Signs to End his Term Hungary's president has signed a constitutional amendment ending his term, resolving a dispute with the new government. Prime Minister Péter Magyar, who defeated Viktor Orbán in April, had urged Tamás Sulyok to resign, accusing him of failing to oppose Orbán's antidemocratic actions. When Sulyok refused, Magyar's party passed an amendment for his immediate removal. Sulyok signed it on the final day before the deadline. His term officially ends today. Magyar's government has been dismantling (拆解) Orbán's influence by removing appointees and making judicial reforms. It also plans to nominate a new president soon. That was the I.C.R.T.

Šonedēļ pievērsīsimies norisēm dažādos pasaules kontinentos. Āfrikā, Sudānā, turpinās smaga humānā krīze, kas jau laupījusi ap 150 tūkstošiem vai vēl vairāk dzīvību un miljoniem cilvēku likusi doties bēgļu gaitās. Eiropas Savienībā šonedēļ sprieda par sankciju piemērošanu izraēliešu produkcijai, kas ražota izreāliešu apmetnēs Jordānas upes Rietumkrastā. Vienošanās par sankcijām gan netika panākta. Ukrainā notiek valdības maiņa, jo pēc nepilna gada darba no amata atkāpusies premjerministre Jūlija Sviridenko. Raidījumā Divas puslodes aktualitātes analizē Latvijas Ārpolitikas institūta pētniece Elizabete Vizgunova-Vikmane un portāla TVNET ārvalstu ziņu žurnāliste un redaktore Annija Vīnkalna. Ierakstā uzklausām ukraiņu politologu Dmitro Levusu. Sudāna turpina asiņot Pagājušajā trešdienā, 8. jūlijā, Apvienoto Nāciju Starptautiskā faktu vākšanas misija Sudānā nāca klajā ar ziņojumu par vardarbību pret civiliedzīvotājiem, ko izvērsis militārais formējums „Ātrā atbalsta spēki”. Kopš 2023. gada Sudānā norit nežēlīgs pilsoņu karš starp valdības karaspēku un minēto grupējumu. „Ātrā atbalsta spēkus” kā no armijas neatkarīgu militāru struktūru 2013. gadā izveidoja toreizējais diktators Omārs el Bešīrs, iekļaujot tajā ļaudis no tā dēvētās džandžavīdu milicijas – bruņotām arābu nomadu grupām, kuras vairākas desmitgades bija rīkojušas bandītiskus uzbrukumus nearābu zemkopju kopienām valsts dienvidrietumos. 2019. gadā plaša protestu kustība gāza diktatora Bešīra režīmu, taču demokrātisku iekārtu tā arī neizdevās izveidot. Vispirms 2021. gadā Sudānas bruņotie spēki kopā ar Ātrā atbalsta spēkiem padzina civilo pārvaldi un izveidoja huntu, bet 2023. gadā abas šīs militārās frakcijas sāka cīnīties savā starpā. Ātrā atbalsta spēkiem sākumā izdevās sagrābt galvaspilsētu Hartūmu, taču pagājušā gada martā armija to atguva. Kā vienai, tā otrai karojošajai pusei drīz uzradās ārēji atbalstītāji. Bruņotos spēkus atbalsta Ēģipte, Turcija, Irāna un Krievija, savukārt Ātrā atbalsta spēki saņem ieročus no Apvienotajiem Arābu Emirātiem, kur tiek pārdota lielākā daļa no zelta, ko šī karojošā puse nelegāli eksportē, tāpat ar Ātrā atbalsta spēkiem sadarbojas Etiopijas valdība un Lībijas austrumdaļu kontrolējošais ģenerālis Halīfa Haftars. Šobrīd karā iestājies zināms spēku līdzsvars, „Ātrā atbalsta spēki” nostiprinājušies Sudānas dienvidrietumos – Dārfūras provincē, bruņotiem spēki pārvalda pārējo valsts teritoriju. Vietumis atsevišķas zonas kontrolē ar vienu vai otru pusi saistītas mazākas bruņotas organizācijas un vietējās milicijas grupas. Pēc neatkarīgās amerikāņu domnīcas „Council of Foreign Relations” aplēsēm Sudānas pilsoņu karš ir izraisījis šobrīd smagāko humāno un bēgļu krīzi pasaulē, laupot apmēram 150 000 dzīvību un liekot apmēram divpadsmit miljoniem cilvēku pamest savas dzīvesvietas. Pieminētais Apvienoto Nāciju ziņojums atklāj, ka pagājušā gada oktobrī, kad Ātrā atbalsta spēku vienības ieņēma Fašīras pilsētu, tās izvērsa pret civiliedzīvotājiem, sevišķi nearābu izcelsmes, vardarbību ar genocīda elementiem. Notikušas masu slepkavības, masveidīgas izvarošanas grupā, iedzīvotāju mērķtiecīga atstāšana bez pārtikas. Pašreiz Ātrā atbalsta spēki koncentrē savas vienības ap Obeidas pilsētu valsts centrālajā daļā, kur mīt apmēram pusmiljons iedzīvotāju, tai skaitā ap astoņdesmit trim tūkstošiem bēgļu. Apvienoto Nāciju pārstāvji brīdina, ka ja Obeidā ļaus atkārtoties Fašīras scenārijam, slepkavību un vardarbības bilance var būt vēl šausminošāka. Ukrainai būs jauns ministru kabinets Svētdien, 12. jūlijā, Ukrainas Augstākajai Radai savu demisiju pieteica premjerministre Jūlija Sviridenko. Vakar Rada to apstiprināja ar savu balsojumu, līdz ar to līdzšinējā valdība uzskatāma par atkāpušos. Premjerministres aiziešana pēc gada valdības vadībā nav saistīta ar kādu skandālu vai acīmredzamām domstarpībām. Tā ir Ukrainas augstākā izpildvaras nesēja, prezidenta Volodimira Zelenska iniciatīva, kuras pamatā, kā viņš to definējis, ir „atjaunota politiskā stratēģija”. Prezidents solījis izmaiņas arī spēka struktūru vadībā. Kā ticamākais Jūlijas Sviridenko pēctecis valdības priekšgalā tiek minēts līdzšinējais valsts naftas un gāzes piegādes koncerna „Naftogaz” vadītājs Serhijs Koreckis. Kā citi ticami kandidāti tiek minēti enerģētikas ministrs un kādreizējais premjerministrs Deniss Šmihaļs, aizsardzības ministrs Mihailo Fjodorovs un Harkivas mērs Ihors Terehovs. Katram no viņiem ir savi pieredzes un kompetences „trumpji”. Domājams, ka savu premjera kandidātu prezidents cels priekšā Augstākajai Radai rīt, 16. jūlijā. Tikām Ukraina pēdējās nedēļas laikā atkal pievienojusi savam kontam pārliecinošus sasniegumus kaujas laukā. Dažu dienu laikā Azovas jūrā peldrobotu uzbrukumos nogremdēti vai bojāti simt pieci Krievijas peldlīdzekļi – tankkuģi, sauskravu kuģi, prāmji un velkoņi. Pavisam izsista no ierindas vairāk nekā puse Krievijas Azovas jūras civilās flotes. Ukraiņu lidroboti trāpījuši koncerna „Gazprom” naftas pārstrādes un naftas ķīmijas kombinātam Salavatā, Baškortostānā, kā arī militāriem mērķiem Krimā un tai pieguļošajās teritorijās. Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš. Kam taisnība Jordānas Rietumkrastā? Pirmdien, 13. jūlijā, Eiropas Savienības Padomes ārlietu ministru konsīlijs pulcējās Briselē, lai apspriestu sankciju piemērošanu produkcijai, kas ražota izraēliešu apmetnēs Jordānas Rietumkrastā. Šī teritorija nonāca Izraēlas bruņoto spēku kontrolē Sešu dienu kara rezultātā 1967. gadā un pamatā ir starptautiskās sabiedrības atzīta par Izraēlas okupētu, kas vairākkārt atzīmēts Apvienoto Nāciju institūciju rezolūcijās un Starptautiskās tiesas spriedumos. Izraēla, savukārt, uzstāj, ka Rietumrasts ir strīdus teritorija, jo līdz 1967. gadam to bija anektējusi Jordānija, kam arī nebija uz to starptautiski atzītu tiesību. Jau drīz pēc Rietumkrasta nonākšanas Izraēlas kontrolē šajā līdz tam palestīniešu apdzīvotajā apgabalā sāka veidoties ebreju tautības Izraēlas pilsoņu apmetnes. Pašreiz līdzās aptuveni trim miljoniem palestīniešu tur dzīvo vairāk nekā pusmiljons izraēliešu kolonistu. Kopš 1993. gada Rietumkrasta teritorija ir sadalīta trīs dažādās zonās ar dažādu Izraēlas spēku klātbūtnes un kontroles līmeni, un izraēliešu apmetņu teritorija iekļauta zonā C, kas ir pilnīgā Izraēlas kontrolē. Pamatā starptautiskajā sabiedrībā valda konsenss par to, ka izraēliešu apmetņu veidošana ir pretrunā ar starptautiskajām tiesībām. Cita starpā, šādu viedokli 2024. gada jūlijā oficiāli formulēja Starptautiskā Tiesa, aicinot valstis novērst tirdzniecības vai investīciju attiecības, kas palīdz uzturēt šo situāciju. Tam kategoriski nepiekrīt pašreizējā Izraēlas valdība, kurā liela ietekme ir labējiem radikāļiem. Šo politiķu ieskatā Rietumkrasta zemes – Jūdeja un Samārija – ir vēsturiskas ebreju teritorijas un, attiecīgi, ebreju klātbūtne tur ir leģitīma. Pēdējos mēnešos ir pieaudzis vairāku Eiropas Savienības dalībvalstu spiediens par labu sankciju noteikšanai, uzsverot, ka pastiprinās Izraēlas kolonistu vardarbība pret palestīniešiem un viņu īpašumu, kā arī Izraēlas valdība veicina apmetņu izplešanos. Tādas valstis kā Īrija, Nīderlande un Spānija jau ir ieviesušas savus nacionālā līmeņa tirdzniecības ierobežojumus apmetņu ražojumiem, taču Eiropas Savienība kopumā līdz šim pie kopsaucēja nav nonākusi, ko, protams, neveicina arī pašreizējais Izraēlas un „Hamās” karš. Valstu grupa, kurā ietilpst Beļģija, Nīderlande un Spānija ar augstās pārstāves ārpolitikas un drošības politikas jautājumos Kajas Kallasas atbalstu pirmdienas sanāksmē ieradās ar mērķi panākt Eiropadomes balsojumu par konkrētiem pasākumiem. Runa ir par trīs iespējamajiem modeļiem: lielākiem tarifiem, importa licencēšanas sistēmu vai pilnīgu tirdzniecības aizliegumu. Tomēr vairākas dalībvalstis – Vācija, Itālija, Ungārija un Čehija – ir pret, tāpat skeptiski noskaņota arī Eiropas Komisijas prezidente Urzula fon der Leiena. Nav arī līdz galam skaidrs, vai Eiropadomes balsojumā šajā gadījumā būtu lietojams kvalificētā vairākuma, vai konsensa princips. Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš un Artis Tomsons.
Zirgs vēl pirms simts gadiem bija draugs, palīgs un acu raugs daudziem laukos dzīvojošajiem Latvijas iedzīvotājiem. Bez tiem nebija iespēja ne pārvietoties, ne apstrādāt laukus, ne izdarīt jebkādus citus smagus lauka darbus. Tā kā zirgs bija vērtīgs resurss, netrūka arī to, kas kāroja zirgu iegūt vieglā ceļā, tos zogot. Zirgu zagļi bija grūti apakarojama sērga 19. gadsimtā un 20. gadsimta pirmajā pusē. Kas bija slavēnākie zirgu zagļi, kā tos apkaroja un kādus sodus piesprieda zirgu zagļiem? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā plašāk stāsta vēsturnieks un etnogrāfs Uģis Niedre un vēsturnieks, Vidzemes Augstskolas padomes loceklis un vadošais pētnieks Gatis Krūmiņš. "Zirgam pirms simts un vairāk gadiem bija ļoti plaša nozīmē. Viena lieta ir lauksaimniecība, bet noteikti tas ir transports kā tāds, tā ir arī militārā joma. Zirgu pasēs es esmu arī kaut kur pamanījis, ka arī, tāpat kā vīrietim ierakstīju, vai derīgas karaklausībai, tad arī zirgam ierakstīja, vai zirgs ir derīgs karaklausībai. Tam bija milzīga nozīme," atklāj Gatis Krūmiņš. Bet lielais zirgu skaits radījis arī sarežģījumus, īpaši pilsētā, jo zirgi rada arī mēslus, kuri ir kaut kur jāliek. Jau tajā laikā zinātniekus aicināja meklēt risinājumus, ko darīt ar zirgu mēsliem. "Zirgs arī bija kā statistikas elements, kas arī parādīja attīstību, turību. Viens no tiem pamatojumiem, kāpēc īpaša situācija ātri uzlabojas Latgalē, ir tieši zirgu skaita pieaugums. Tā ir kā luksusa prece. Un interesanti, kad īstenoja Agrāro reformu, tur bija pieejami dažādi kredīti. Viens no tiem bija zirgu iegādei un tos izķēra pirmos," turpina Gatis Krūmiņš. "Esmu lasījis, ka kādreiz arī vienam otram kalpa zēnam zirgs bija pirmā prioritāte. Tagad arī mēs redzam, ka ir viena otra daudzdzīvokļu māja, dzīvoklis ir noplucis, bet ļoti smalka mašīna pie durvīm. Cilvēka domāšana nav mainījusies. Arī toreiz bija viens otrs, kuram tas zirgs bija augstākā prioritāte. (..) Cenas arī bija ievērojamas. Tajā brīdī, kad rocība pieauga 30. gadu otrā pusē, gadatirgū labu zirgu zem 800 latiem nevarēja nopirkt. Ja mēs skatāmies, cik ilvēki pelnīja laukos, tad alga puisim bija kādi 50 lati mēnesī, tātad 500 latu gadā. Luksusa zirgs maksāja pusotru tūkstoti latu. Tā ir trīs gadu alga. Tas arī skaidro, kāpēc zirgus zaga." Runājot par cenu, Uģis Niedre atklāj, ka 19. gadsimta vidū labs zirgs maksāja 50 rubļu, bet pūru labības, labus rudzus, zemnieks varēja pārdot par 2,5 - 3 rubļiem. Straumējot laiku: ekspozīcijas sadaļa “Dzimis savā kārtā” Turpinām iepazīstināt ar Latvijas Nacionālā vēstures muzeja ekspozīcijas "Straumējot laiku" sadaļām. Šoreiz par kārtu sabiedrību un to, cik muižnieku un zemnieku dzīves bija cieši saistītas – ne tikai zemnieki bija atkarīgi no muižniekiem, bet arī otrādi. Soli pa solim raidījumā stāstām par šo ekspozīciju, kurā līdz ar 5. sadaļu nonākam plašā telpā, bet laikā ziņā esam piestājuši 18. gadsimtā. Gan šis posms, gan arī 19. gadsimta sākums vēstī par muižnieku un zemnieku, kuri, būdami no dažādām kārtām, patiešām abi bija vienā laivā, jo viņi bija atkarīgi viens no otra. Telpu piepilda muižas kompleksa makets, un tam līdzās videoprojekcijas ar zemniekiem, kuri veic dažādus lauku darbus. Telpas tālākā plānā interjers ar galdu un iedomātu skatu pa logu, un vēl apmeklētāju pavada konkrētā perioda personību portreti un balsis. Ar sadaļu “Dzimis savā kārtā” iepazīstina Latvijas Nacionālā vēstures muzeja Etnogrāfijas nodaļas vadītāja Sanita Zvidra. Par dažādiem sabiedrības slāņiem un birģeru tiesībām runājām jau tad, kad iepazinām pilsētu veidošanos viduslaikos, un muzeja pētniece, vēstures doktore Mārīte Jakovļeva norāda, ka arī muižnieki un zemnieki nebija kaut kas viendabīgs. -- Vasaras vidus ir bērnu kopšanas laiks Latvijā ligzdojošajiem putniem, tostarp arī tiem, kas aktīvāki paliek tikai dienas tumšajā laikā. Par vienu šādu nakts putnu – klusu, bet ar ļoti skaļiem bērniem, stāsta Latvijas Ornitoloģijas biedrības priekšsēdētājs Viesturs Ķerus.

Zinātne un pētniecība īpaši sociālajās un humanitārajās jomās Latvijā ir tādā kā pabērna lomā. Arī sabiedrībā ne visi saprot, kādēļ ir jātērē nauda un jāpēta tas, ko es tāpat zinu un par ko man ir viedoklis. Tam ir arī otra puse – pētījumos izgaismotās problēmas bieži arī paliek plauktā izgaismotas un lēmumu pieņēmēji tos neņem vērā. Ko dod sabiedrības un tās grupu pētīšana, aizspriedumu izgaismošana un dažādu problēmu nosaukšana vārdos? Krustpunktā Lielā intervija ar sociālantropoloģi, Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes pētnieci Annu Žabicku.

Peter, Tam and Roughie reckon Harry Kane could be the key to stopping Norway and Erling Haaland. Can anyone stop France? Will banning orders sort out pitch invasions and pyrotechnics in football grounds? Which team is better prepared for the new season in Scotland?
Tlingit and Haida Tribes, the Ketchikan Indian Community, and other communities in Southeast Alaska are urging tourists to stop disrespecting unique cultural symbols such as totem poles. Nearly two million tourists visit the region annually and tribal members are reporting an uptick in incidents of tourists mocking Native culture. The message from the tribes remains: all are welcome and respect is not optional. While promoting responsible tourism, the Ketchikan Indian Community is also launching a new initiative for visitors to purchase care packages for the community’s unhoused population. The initiative is also aimed at supporting the tribe’s year-round housing services for unhoused residents. In the Lower 48 states, a Navajo app developer has created Tribal Trailz. It aims to help visitors navigate Diné and Pueblo lands across Arizona and New Mexico and includes historical information and other resources designed to better educate tourists about traveling in ancestral homelands. GUESTS Richard Peterson (Tlingit), president of the Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Tribes Emily Edenshaw (Native Village of Emmonak), tribal administrator and CEO of the Ketchikan Indian Community George R.

How do you actually put a price on a music catalog in 2026? In this panel from our recent Grow the TAM event, Billboard's Elizabeth Dilts Marshall sits down with three experts who each value catalogs from a completely different angle. Rob Frech of Raine Group has advised on catalog and M&A deals for Warner Music Group, Quality Control, and Downtown. Tom Sarig spent decades managing artists like Lou Reed and Bryan Ferry before launching Antifragile Equity Partners to acquire mid tier music catalogs. And Monica Corton of Go to Eleven Entertainment works with songwriters, artists, and producers across publishing, marketing, and royalty management, helping them maximize the value of their catalogs. The conversation covers who is actually buying music catalogs right now, why active catalog management might matter more than the multiple you pay, how sync licensing drives real catalog growth, what tools like Disco and Luminate are doing to modernize catalog data and rights management, and how AI licensing and name, image, and likeness rights are starting to change what these assets are worth. If you work in music publishing, catalog acquisition, artist management, or music finance, this episode breaks down exactly how catalog valuation is evolving heading into 2030. The Music Tectonics podcast goes beneath the surface of the music industry to explore how technology is changing the way business gets done.

Unlocking billions in cloud marketplace revenue. Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://theultimatepartner.com/ebook-subscribe/ Check Out UPX: https://theultimatepartner.com/experience/ This powerful panel discussion featuring leaders from Google, Tackle, and dbt Labs dives deep into the explosive growth of cloud marketplaces and the radical shift toward AI-driven go-to-market strategies. With hyperscaler backlogs nearing half a trillion dollars, the conversation unpacks how top-tier organizations are transforming their compensation models, aligning executive buy-in, and navigating the complexities of co-selling to capture committed customer budgets. From the rise of AI agents acting as metered SaaS to the essential operational investments required to scale marketplace revenue from 10% to over 50%, this session provides an actionable roadmap for software companies ready to dominate the 2026 partner ecosystem. https://youtu.be/LSj49f5FEII Key Takeaways Hyperscaler backlog commitments represent a massive, nearly half-trillion-dollar addressable market that completely changes the budgeting conversation. Successful marketplace selling requires complete executive alignment, right down to the CFO, and strategic adjustments like spiffing sales teams for marketplace transactions. The AI category is experiencing staggering 18x year-over-year growth, forcing companies to pivot toward an “agent-first” go-to-market model. Shifting from traditional channels to cloud go-to-market demands a multi-year, intentional investment in operations, people, and technology. System integrators are evolving into software companies as they build orchestration agents to manage fragmented, end-to-end workflows. Leveraging cloud commitments bypasses standard 12-15 month budget cycles, allowing for significantly faster deal closures and larger initial lands. If you're ready to lead through change, elevate your business, and achieve extraordinary outcomes through the power of partnership—this is your community. At Ultimate Partner® we want leaders like you to join us in the Ultimate Partner Experience – where transformation begins. Key Tags: Google Cloud Marketplace, hyperscaler backlog, cloud commitments, co-selling strategies, AI agents, metered SaaS, product-led growth, rev ops, B2B sales transformation, ecosystem shift, channel strategy, system integrators, Deal registration, private offer APIs, digital transformation, software procurement. Transcript: Insight to Revenue- The State of Cloud GTM [00:00:00] Dai Vu: These are all things everyone has to do to get to that first five to 10 deals, and then 10, 20, 30% of your business through Marketplace. [00:00:09] Vince Menzione: You can feel it happening. The ecosystem is shifting beneath us, the way Hyperscalers are partnering, how AI is remaking the channel and what it means to win in 2026. [00:00:21] Vince Menzione: Welcome to the Ultimate Partner Podcast. I’m Vince Menzi, own your host, and each week I sit down with leaders at the intersection of technology. Partnerships and outcomes. The voices shaping how ecosystems actually work. We talk about what’s real, what’s changing, and what it takes to lead in this era where the partner channel isn’t just part of the strategy. [00:00:43] Vince Menzione: It is the strategy because being in the room changes [00:00:46] John Janke: everything. Let’s start. [00:00:52] Vince Menzione: And we have an incredible session. The way that we wanted today to, to, to start the day up was like, let’s talk about what’s happening right now and let’s get three leaders in this space to come up and talk about the world and how it’s a rapidly evolving. So I want to invite to the stage dvu from Google is a great friend of Ultimate Partner. [00:01:14] Vince Menzione: Are you guys ready? Are you guys micd up already? Okay, good. Good. John Yanke, the CEO and Founder of Tackle, and Sean Todo, who is an incredible leader with DBT, but also an old friend of mine. We worked together on Microsoft Days. Good to see you gentlemen. Thanks Sean. Great to have you with us. [00:01:37] John Janke: They stuck me on the side ’cause they said I’d block the screen if I sat in the middle. [00:01:41] Shawn Toldo: You still block it a little bit. [00:01:42] John Janke: And that picture’s from like 1985. I, I, we do have to get that. I had way darker hair. It was, uh, 10 year, 10 years at a startup. Makes you turn white. [00:01:52] Shawn Toldo: Mine’s the exact same right now. So it’s all good. [00:01:55] Shawn Toldo: Mine’s AI generated. Yeah. [00:01:57] Vince Menzione: Well, you know, guys, I just took it all off at that point, you know, it’s like good. Yeah, but you lose enough of it. You pull it out over the years. Yeah. So, uh, some really exciting times. Uh, you, we gotta spend some time at you at our breakfast. That’s right. A couple weeks ago. [00:02:13] Dai Vu: A lot of folks here, too. [00:02:14] Vince Menzione: A lot of folks that are here were at that breakfast, and I thought we’d spend a few moments with you talking about all the exciting things that have been happening at, at Google. I mean the, yeah, the businesses just to, first of all, the numbers were house. Outstanding. Congratulations. [00:02:28] Dai Vu: That’s right. [00:02:28] Vince Menzione: Yep.

[00:02:34] Vince Menzione: Yes. Uh, and then there’s a lot happening in this little world called ai, which makes a ton of sense. Yep. I was critical about Google in the beginning because you had all the assets, but Microsoft leaned in first. [00:02:45] Vince Menzione: Uh, but now it’s like things have evolved, uh, quite a bit since those first days. Absolutely. In, in November of 2022. So, uh, take us through a little bit. Let’s, let’s go through [00:02:56] Dai Vu: it. Yeah. I could talk for quite a bit of time because obviously we came out next, yeah. At the end of April, and then we had our earnings announced, but shortly thereafter. [00:03:03] Dai Vu: But, but real quick on next, uh, for folks who attended, uh, you know, the way they framed, uh, the discussion was they showed this AI integrated stack, and that’s how they frame the keynote because we position ourselves as being the only vendor that provides this. Fully integrated stack from custom silicon all the way to the apps and agents. [00:03:23] Dai Vu: And a lot of the announcements were, were focused in those areas. Um, uh, I won’t go through the, the long list, but I think the big ones coming out of next were, uh, certainly the eighth generation TPU we announced, so we actually split this into two specialized chips for training and inference. Uh, so that’s, uh, that was a big piece. [00:03:41] Dai Vu: Uh, but the big one that we announced was this, uh, Gemini Enterprise. Uh, agent platform. So think of it as the comprehensive platform for companies to basically build scale, govern and optimize their agents. And of course, once they have that, they can bring that into, uh, what we call a Gen Gemini enterprise app, which is really the front door for AI for. [00:04:03] Dai Vu: All customers and all employees to manage a mix of agents, um, as part of their daily workflow. And, uh, and a big part of it is, you know, certainly they’ll have some custom agents, but we think a lot of the agents will come from the ecosystem. And obviously there was a big announcement around what we’re doing there. [00:04:21] Dai Vu: Um, and in fact, one of the things that’s interesting is this shows the evolution of, of marketplace in our, in our partnership, which is we’ve taken a lot of the marketplace experience. And brought it into Gemini exp uh, Gemini Enterprise app, right? So search, discovery, uh, the ability to invoke agents, uh, in context. [00:04:39] Dai Vu: I think that’s gonna be very powerful as we think about the evolution, uh, of, of go to market. And then the last thing maybe I’ll highlight is this, um, is. 750 million, uh, investment fund that we’re gonna drive with the broad partnership. So this cuts across all partner types, global system integrators, uh, uh, you know, AI, pure plays, uh, ISVs, uh, the big management consultants as well, uh, because we recognize that partners are gonna be critical to drive business transformation with our end customers. [00:05:08] Dai Vu: So we’re investing around things like. Technical enablement, access to our product teams, access to our FDE for deployment engineers, and then a lot of incentives to drive usage and deployment. So, um, so a lot of, a lot of activity and obviously the ecosystem’s gonna be very critical for us to drive that impact’s. [00:05:25] Dai Vu: Fine. And the last thing, I know we’ve going on and on fine, but the last thing I’ll just mention is just on the earnings announcement, uh, Vince touched on the backlog, so people have been tracking Yeah. Two quarters ago. We were 155 billion on the backlog, and then a quarter later we were 240 billion. And then in the last quarter, just recently, 462 billion. [00:05:46] Dai Vu: So obviously that’s a, a massive signal of customer intent, but more importantly, it’s a, it’s, it’s a addressable market for this ecosystem to go after as well. [00:05:54] Vince Menzione: Yeah. Almost a half a trillion dollars. Yes. In commitment. So a lot, a lot of reason why we should be on the marketplace. [00:06:01] Dai Vu: Absolutely. Absolutely. [00:06:02] Vince Menzione: Um, each of these gentlemen have some things to talk about as well, about their companies and the exciting things that have been happening. [00:06:08] Vince Menzione: I’m gonna start, John, I’m gonna start with you because Tackle has, has transformed quite a bit since the last time you were on stage with us. I thought maybe introduce the company. Take us through the transformation and then we’re gonna do the same thing with Sean with his organization. [00:06:21] John Janke: Yeah. Thanks. Uh, thanks Vince. [00:06:23] John Janke: Great to see everybody. Uh, John Yanke, GM of Tackle at App Direct. So the big news there is Tackle was acquired in Q4 by a company called App Direct, and I think the why behind this app, direct Powers, marketplaces, they run 400 marketplaces around the world for telcos, for ISVs, for system integrators, channel partners. [00:06:42] John Janke: And we were talk like, when you build a marketplace and diagnose this, stocking the shelves is actually really hard. Uh, and we were talking to them about how could we connect the dots between the hyperscaler marketplaces, the iscs we support, and these additional routes to market. Uh, and that became more strategic and we ended up joining forces in December. [00:07:00] John Janke: And since then, the other part that’s really hard when you build a marketplace is how do you generate demand? Uh, so four weeks ago we acquired a company called Partner Stack. And Partner Stack does affiliate content. They have an affiliate content platform that allows you to connect with 150,000 content providers to be able to start to tell your story to drive leads to. [00:07:23] John Janke: Marketplace. So we think there is a tremendous opportunity to continue. We’re in the earliest days. I think the, you know, Jay, I was with Jay at Channel Partners a few weeks ago and he is like, we under called it, he didn’t say this on stage yesterday, but he is like, uh, the 82% growth. He’s like, we totally under called it. [00:07:40] John Janke: Uh, and I think just listening to dies commit level increase mm-hmm. Reinforces the fact that we’ve under called it. But I also think we’re at this tipping point in the market where all of the new capabilities coming out, we have to all rethink our better together stories. So I think the challenge to all partner leaders, it’s like, how do we. [00:07:58] John Janke: Figure that out. So it’s, it’s a, it’s a fun time. As we transform the way we worked. We wrote the first helping people kind of list, launch and sell through the marketplaces. And now to be able to take that to the next level to hopefully unlock the next a hundred billion of marketplace throughput. [00:08:13] Vince Menzione: And are we at a hundred billion? [00:08:15] Vince Menzione: ’cause that was the number, right? [00:08:16] John Janke: I mean that’s, that’s, that’s the number that’s talked about. I mean, we’re seeing the data signals we see, I mean, we will process 20 billion plus this year. Uh, and that number’s growing faster than Jay’s stated number. So I think we’re excited to see where this year lands. [00:08:30] Vince Menzione: We’ve come a long way from three years ago and we all got on stage and talked about marketplaces together. Right. It’s been, it’s been amazing. And then Sean, let’s talk about DBT. You’ve had some excitement. I know some things maybe we can’t even talk about yet on stage. [00:08:43] Shawn Toldo: Uh, yeah, go ahead. [00:08:44] Vince Menzione: No, I was saying I, I could, I’ll pre-announce things, but No, I’m just, uh, tell, tell us about DBT for those who don’t know in the room, sure. [00:08:49] Vince Menzione: Mean Yeah, that might help. [00:08:51] Shawn Toldo: So, uh, Sean Todo, I lead the partner business at DBT. I’ve been here about 18 months. Um, DBT really started as an open source tool. That help data engineers be successful in SQL transformation with cloud data warehouses? Right. And so back even to the Redshift days now into what I would call more the BigQuery, snowflake, Databricks fabric led days, um, DBT is the tool of choice amongst the data engineering community in terms of how they wanna drive SQL transformation. [00:09:21] Shawn Toldo: And so more recently, we kind of jumped into this kind of paid world. Which is why we needed to bring in additional experience leadership around go to market product, sales, et cetera. And so when I walked in the door, one of the things I noticed really quickly was we were running on AWS, which was great. [00:09:40] Shawn Toldo: We were doing some AWS marketplace stuff. We were running on Azure in Europe only. And one of my first strategies was we have to be everywhere, right customer. We have to meet customers where they are. And so we, uh, made some major investments to be on Google Cloud platform to then be able to really take advantage of marketplace, to then really be able to take advantage of the co-sell opportunities that exist in the field from a day, day-to-day AI perspective with Google. [00:10:07] Shawn Toldo: And it has been a hell of a ride. We launched on, uh, Google Marketplace in July of last year. We went to Google next and we were Google Partner of the Year. Wow. For data and analytics in a very rapid way. We’re now in three, uh, data centers around the, the world. So we’re here in the us, we’re in Frankfurt, we’re in uh, uh, UK as well. [00:10:30] Shawn Toldo: And so it’s been a pleasure to work with D and the broader team. Because the enablement we’ve had and the support we’ve had from that group has really helped our growth be up and to the right. The data point I would give is that when I walked in the door, we were 10% of our business from an A RR perspective was transacting through marketplace. [00:10:48] Shawn Toldo: Last quarter we cracked 40%. Whoa. We will be at north of 50, uh, next quarter. [00:10:53] Dai Vu: Wow. [00:10:54] Shawn Toldo: The other piece that Vince was talking about is we’re getting ready to merge with a company called Five Tran. And so there will be a new company name at some point down the road. Uh, pay attention on June 1st for a public announcement around that merger. [00:11:06] Shawn Toldo: Uh, but we’re really looking forward to what we’re gonna be able to do with folks like DI and the Google team as well as others in the ecosystem. Um, ’cause I think in this data world that we’ve played for so long. This trusted foundational element of data and what it’s gonna mean to context in the AI world. [00:11:23] Shawn Toldo: We’re in a very interesting place to really continue our growth rate at a high level. [00:11:28] John Janke: Yeah, that maybe just a comment something there. Start there. I think we, we used to hear people say we wanted to be strategic with cloud, go to market and get to say 10 or 20% of revenue. I think this like 40, 50%. Yeah. Th that’s where people are setting the bar these days. [00:11:43] John Janke: Yeah. So the numbers are getting really crazy. Yeah. Uh, and people are showing up and being like, I have to go big. Mm-hmm. So a huge change over the last few years. [00:11:52] Vince Menzione: Yep. What’s the experience you’re seeing as well? I mean, it, it was a huge amount of buzz at next. [00:11:57] Dai Vu: Yeah. I mean, so interestingly, um, you know, typically when, when people get started on the, on the marketplace in Cosal journey, I always try to caution them and say, this is, uh, this is like a multi-year. [00:12:07] Dai Vu: Yeah. Uh, process. You have to be very intentional. You have to invest. It’s not gonna be a thing where you just list and, and, and, and, and, and sort of this channel opens up. So in some ways, Sean is describing an acceleration that is not common, right? Uh, so they’ve done, we’ve done some amazing things together and we hope to keep that acceleration going. [00:12:22] Vince Menzione: What does that require, by the way? Is it engineering resource? I mean, there’s, I talk about executive commitment and maniacal focus. Yeah. But it’s all those things, right? [00:12:29] Shawn Toldo: Well, all of it. But we went to a QBR in Austin, and I put up a slide and I said, we have to do this. And everybody in our ETE agreed. So when you have a chief financial officer that’s bought into the partner business. [00:12:43] Shawn Toldo: Yeah. And I guess qualifying coming into this role at this company, I qualified the C-level staff. Uh, like are they really serious about partner or not? And it’s one of the reasons I took the role. So I think executive commitment was one thing. I think the second thing is we were really well supported, um, by the Google team across the board, right? [00:13:02] Shawn Toldo: Yeah. So folks, Indy’s team that we would work with regularly on, these are the things you need to do to have an effective marketplace offering. Here’s what you need to do operationally with folks like John and team and others that are in the market, right? That helped us a ton to be able to scale. And then the other thing that we did is we changed comp. [00:13:20] Shawn Toldo: So from our VP of sales levels down, we have a 5% kicker for everything that goes through marketplace. [00:13:26] Vince Menzione: Hear [00:13:26] Shawn Toldo: that everyone. So as soon as we incented the sales team, I love that, right? We, we created the foundation on the partner side, but then from top down on the sales side, they were all in. And as a result of that, the question would become, okay, which marketplace stage two sales cycle are we gonna go use? [00:13:42] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:13:43] Shawn Toldo: Who’s the right partner to go partner with? And then my team is reaching out to make sure that co-sell connection happens. [00:13:48] Vince Menzione: That is such a best practice, Sean, to, because there is, as a seller out in the field and we talk about, you talk to John, talks about rev ops all the time. But getting rev ops eng getting the field engaged in the right way. [00:14:01] Vince Menzione: ’cause it feels like it’s more work for them. ’cause they have to think, they have to have more conversations with their customer about their cloud commitments and things like that. Mm-hmm. And then getting them incentive to do the right things. The right behavior. [00:14:12] John Janke: Yeah. It’s a strategy process. People, technology problem. [00:14:17] John Janke: Yeah. It’s not just some flip API automation, go list something if you don’t like that top down view. I think the other thing. Like there’s a, there’s a theme in startups where VCs fund second time founders. I think Sean and team have done this before and they took a lot of learnings over the years and reapplied them, which I think helps them go faster. [00:14:36] John Janke: It’s like that second time. Yeah. Second time cloud go to market Founder theme. [00:14:41] Vince Menzione: Yeah. Yeah. Um, so we could talk about the platform and all the changes there on the. The, the commitments and everything. Mm-hmm. Uh, what separates ISPs generating real incremental revenue on your, in your marketplace? What, what do you see? [00:14:58] Dai Vu: Yeah, so I mean, I, I think there are a couple things. Number one is, uh, the, the foundation has to be, uh, this better together story, uh, with Google Cloud. Um, so this idea that what, you know, what do you bring, what does the Google platform bring and how does that drive impact with customers? And I think this is the reason why Sean and DBT Labs has been very effective. [00:15:16] Dai Vu: ’cause our field recognized they, they can recognize that better together story and communicate it to their customers. So I think that’s the foundation. For everything. Right. And I think as you get started, uh, you know, we do tell partners that they probably need to lean in a little bit, uh, in terms of focus, uh, you know, pick a vertical, a customer segment, um, you know, a geography where they’re particularly strong and, you know, get that momentum going. [00:15:39] Dai Vu: And once you do that, the field knows about it and starts to pull you into deals. Um, so I think that’s the other big opportunity. And then the other thing I just mentioned. Which, uh, the panel already touched on, which is be very intentional around all the things you need to do to invest. Whether it’s like, uh, you know, the business functional alignment, uh, the policies around like, uh, pricing and, and comp, uh, making sure you have the operational capabilities. [00:16:02] Dai Vu: These are all things everyone has to do to get to that. First five to 10 deals, and then 10, 20, 30% of your business through marketplace. And not to, not to top you Sean, but our very top partners are driving 80 to 90% of their business on marketplace. And in fact, some of these partners are actually only marketplace first, uh, uh, because they started out that way. [00:16:21] Dai Vu: Obviously it’s the bigger challenge if you have an existing channel, you’re trying to shift that. But, uh, the aspiration to be more marketplace focus, uh, is up there. [00:16:28] Shawn Toldo: So I just set a new goal for the business plan for me. So that’s exciting. I love it. Looking forward to seeing you in six months on that. [00:16:35] Shawn Toldo: It’s good. [00:16:36] Vince Menzione: I love [00:16:37] Dai Vu: it. Work together on that. [00:16:38] Vince Menzione: Well, di I’m just gonna add, add this because I, I got to see operationally with some of the things you do. Mm-hmm. You, you have an overlay organization. [00:16:45] Dai Vu: Yes. Yes. [00:16:46] Vince Menzione: And so you put accelerants in place within your own organization Yeah. To drive the ISVs into the, into the lines of business. [00:16:54] Vince Menzione: Right. You have, you, you do some of that to accelerate. [00:16:57] Dai Vu: Yeah, I mean, I think, I think this is somewhat unique. I don’t, I don’t wanna speak to the other [00:17:00] Shawn Toldo: hyperscalers, [00:17:01] Dai Vu: but we do have, um, uh, you gotta know the field roles, right? [00:17:04] Shawn Toldo: Yeah. So [00:17:04] Dai Vu: obviously at Google Cloud in the regions, we have, uh, ISV sales specialists who are effectively quoted on marketplace revenue, right? [00:17:12] Dai Vu: So they’re a hundred percent focused on that. And, uh, in addition to that, uh, we also have these, uh, co-sell teams, partner teams where, you know, opportunistically if there’s an opportunity, uh, in a, in a, in a particular area. This team is responsible for connecting the regional sales leadership, uh, the regional, uh, sales teams with, with the partner on the opportunity. [00:17:32] Dai Vu: So there’s a lot of things we’re doing to sort of accelerate that. And of course, the foundation for all this is, you know, our, our, you know, registering deals. And as you definitely get started on that, it’s very important to be very mindful around when you register deals. Uh, be very clear around what the ask and the engagement is with the field reps. [00:17:51] Dai Vu: But once you have that going and get the right rhythm, it becomes sort of a natural way to sort of register all your deals and get that engagement. And then, um, and then maybe the last thing I would say is it isn’t always the sales specialists. It’s, you know, the FSR, our field sales rep as well as our customer engineers are also very motivated. [00:18:08] Dai Vu: To work, uh, with, uh, with our partners because they know that this, you know, whether it be solution completeness or it’s part of a bigger workload or helps unlock greenfield opportunity, they really are motivated to engage with the partners. [00:18:21] Vince Menzione: Nice. [00:18:22] Shawn Toldo: Yeah. I’ll just add, I’ll just add to that statement too. I think, um, it’s one thing to have a story as it relates to. [00:18:30] Shawn Toldo: Google Cloud and what you do with marketplace. It’s another thing to have a story in terms of how you impact data and analytics in our world. And there’s a set of specialist sellers inside of Google mm-hmm. That really care about us because we drive a lot faster consumption of big query. And our ability to tell that story across the world effectively has really created a pull now. [00:18:54] Shawn Toldo: And so I, I would say it’s almost, you know, back to, you know, being 12 years at Microsoft and watching kind of that. Phase and how that went. As we went to the cloud and we picked specialty areas, um, Google is doing that as well and they’re doing it extremely fast in a very, very productive way with partners. [00:19:12] Shawn Toldo: And so, you know, I’ll get comments from like Levi who runs west in north region for us, and he’s a, he was at Google next and he was like, I, I gotta, I, I just gotta go to bed. I’m tired. Like we wore him out over two days with their sales team and gave him a host of follow ups and actions related to specific sales areas as well as specific accounts. [00:19:34] Shawn Toldo: And I think that’s the other thing that, um, Google’s done a good job of, but we’ve pushed and we’ve had to work really hard to earn that seat at the table. To help make those people successful from a comp perspective inside of Google as well. [00:19:45] John Janke: Yeah, and this is a huge failure zone for partners with the clouds because they think enablement’s a one and done thing. [00:19:51] John Janke: Like I did a training for the field and I told them the better together story. That doesn’t work. Like you have to literally. Have consistency around this message every day. Oftentimes you need experts who can partner with your reps to give them the confidence. ’cause they may be able to ask the first line question, but someone asks a follow up and they fold up ’cause they know your product. [00:20:11] John Janke: That’s right. They don’s don’t understand all of the nuances of Google and the clouds and the questions that may come back. But if you do that well, it is a huge unlock. [00:20:20] Vince Menzione: Talk about the coaching you provided on the tackle side of that as well and kind of helping. Through this maturity model? [00:20:26] John Janke: Yeah. I mean we, we, over the years, I mean we started as a pure SaaS company and over the years our customers would consistently ask us for more help and we would struggle to figure out how to do that, and we had to invest in services and we actually acquired a company. [00:20:42] John Janke: Five years ago now, that was the foundation. Aaron Feiger, who’s in the room. The core consulting was the foundation of our services business. And that continues to evolve with us. And you know, we see customers at scale saying, I wanna operate my cloud, go-to market really consistently, and I want you to do all the backend operations so my teams can be outselling our products, selling the better together value with Google and others, and not have to figure out how to run the machinery. [00:21:09] John Janke: So we’ve invested a lot there. We have services around strategy, like how to help people think about their business strategy and translate it into a better together story and able to get executive buy-in. And then we have coaching, which is really a phone, a friend, because I think these things get complicated. [00:21:24] John Janke: And I had a customer who was doing the largest deal in their company history. It was the end of the quarter and it was Friday, and they’re like, this is going to be the most complex transaction we’ve ever done and we have no idea how to do it. Our team gets on the phone with them, they work through, what are you selling? [00:21:40] John Janke: How are you selling it? Is your listing set up the right way? Can we actually create all the offers? In a way you have confidence to execute. ’cause those are failure modes. You try to build a cloud, go to market business, and you mess up the largest deal in the company. On the last day of the quarter, uh, that’s something you can’t recover from. [00:21:55] John Janke: So we try to really wrap support around our customers to help them have the confidence to grow. [00:22:02] Vince Menzione: Di you’ve seen tremendous growth in marketplace. Mm-hmm. We don’t publish the numbers specifically. Yeah. We kind of try to figure it out on the back end, but [00:22:09] Dai Vu: Yep. [00:22:09] Vince Menzione: I know you’re accelerated. Your, your marketplace numbers are astounding. [00:22:13] Dai Vu: Yes. I can share some numbers, if that’s [00:22:15] Vince Menzione: okay. Please. Yeah, let’s go. [00:22:18] Dai Vu: So, um. I would say that for a few years now, we’ve been talking about growth. So we’ve been consistently, uh, you know, north of a hundred percent year over year growth. Uh, for the last few years we’ve been processing, uh, what I say, uh, billions of dollars, uh, annually and, uh, uh, millions of transactions. [00:22:36] Dai Vu: And again, that’s for a few years now. Now for 24 to 25, that full year we also doubled. Wow. Uh, which is, uh, which is amazing when you think about the scale in which we operate. But more importantly, if you look at specific category areas, right? So, you know, historically, marketplace has always cater to, uh, those solution pillars that are tied to cloud migrations, like, uh, like security and data and analytics. [00:22:59] Dai Vu: And those continue to be very strong areas for us. But the biggest growth area is, uh, is in the areas of business app. So obviously, you know, the, the ServiceNow workday, uh, Salesforce of the world, as well as the AI category. So one number that we threw out next was 18 x. Year over year growth for the AI category. [00:23:17] Dai Vu: Wow. So in one year now, a lot of it is models, right? So foundational models with our, with our ecosystem. But a lot of that is around agents. So this whole agent go to market model is gonna be, continue to grow and it’s gonna be a huge focus area for, for the coming years. [00:23:32] Vince Menzione: Fantastic. Yeah. Fantastic growth. [00:23:34] Shawn Toldo: Yeah, and, and I’ll add, Diane and I talked about this at Google next. This is a. Very complex thing for DBT, where today we sell seats. [00:23:42] Vince Menzione: Mm-hmm. Yeah. [00:23:43] Shawn Toldo: To data engineers. [00:23:44] Yeah. [00:23:44] Shawn Toldo: And now we have all these agentic things that are hitting our engine. And di and I are talking and we’re like, okay, so how does this work in an ag agentic marketplace? [00:23:54] Shawn Toldo: Yeah. Kind of a scenario. And what should we build? Where should we play it? ’cause we’re gonna spin the meter in a different way, so to speak. [00:24:01] Dai Vu: Yep. [00:24:01] Shawn Toldo: And so candidly, we got stuff to figure out related to that. Um, I think what’s been fascinating for DBT is our partner ecosystem changed overnight. So now it’s like I talked to x.ai on Monday. [00:24:15] Shawn Toldo: Mm-hmm. We got time with open AI on Thursday and we have a call with Anthropic and our, uh, CEO and co-founder and uh, chief Product Officer next week. [00:24:26] Vince Menzione: Mm. [00:24:27] Shawn Toldo: We don’t have anybody managing those partners. [00:24:29] Vince Menzione: Right. [00:24:30] Shawn Toldo: Today our focus is on managing the large, uh, hyperscalers plus Snowflake and, uh, Databricks. [00:24:36] Vince Menzione: Mm-hmm. [00:24:36] Shawn Toldo: And then the SI ecosystem and some tech partners. So we’re having to like, to your point on Agile yesterday. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Like we’re having to change our strategy, operating model and organizational model to support that. And candidly, we don’t have all the answers yet, so we have a lot of things to figure out fast, which is a little bit scary. [00:24:54] Shawn Toldo: And challenging, but it’s also a huge opportunity we have to kind of embrace and get into. Yeah. [00:24:59] Vince Menzione: And they’re figuring out as well. ’cause they’re, they’re new to partnering as well. Yeah. As organizations [00:25:03] John Janke: and these AI agents. I think to demystify for a lot of people, and what Sean said is totally right. [00:25:08] John Janke: They’re disrupting everyone’s business model. But in reality from a marketplace standpoint, they’re metered SaaS. This is a thing that’s existed for a long time. Yeah. They look like product-led growth products. There is a lot of patterns around how product-led growth products work in marketplace. Mm-hmm. [00:25:24] John Janke: But you have to bring your business strategy, your product and pricing strategy to those two categories. Metered SaaS and product-led growth. Put that all together to get cross-functional alignment. So we are seeing like. A lot of people get tripped up here and it really does go back to more of the company strategy, product strategy questions, and a lot of partner leaders are not in the room for those conversations. [00:25:48] John Janke: So I think at, at this point in time, as you see big pivots with the partners to go all in on agents, you have to go elevate. Those discussions to be like, what is our plan here? ’cause I, I mean, pricing and packaging will be the thing that trips almost everyone up. [00:26:02] Dai Vu: If I could, if I just build on what John John mentioned, um, so I do agree. [00:26:06] Dai Vu: P it looks a lot like POG, but, uh, but the difference I think is POG has. More historically been in like the data and developer space, now it’s like the general business user, right? So this idea that you want a business user to be able to search and discover, um, agents that could actually be part of their like everyday workflow is going to be very critical. [00:26:26] Dai Vu: And uh, you know, I do think that when we think about the ecosystem building agents. Uh, you know, a lot of the ISV partners aren’t necessarily gonna own end-to-end workflows, right? They’ll, they’ll have a very specific, uh, domain and scope area, but you have to enable yourself to be orchestrated and managed by, you know, orchestration agents or, or, or meta agents that are gonna span end, end workflows. [00:26:49] Dai Vu: And sometimes that includes system integrators and, and others who can stitch that, that automation. So I think, I think that’s, that’s one piece of it. But the other area that I think is gonna be different is, um. There’s going to be a lot of agents. I mean, literally you’re gonna have a very fragmented set of, uh, uh, of players, right? [00:27:07] Dai Vu: It’s not just gonna be the incumbents, it’s gonna be a lot of disruptors and, and, and, and startups. And so the, uh, for the incumbents in the room, it is a mandate that you need to, to innovate because if you do not identify and go to like an agent first, go to market model. Uh, you’re gonna be, you know, disintermediated. [00:27:25] Dai Vu: Somebody’s gonna go build an agent that’s going to leverage you as a dumb database. Um, and they’re gonna own the workflow. So you have to, you have to push the, the, the, the limits here. And I think it’s creates a big opportunity for everyone in this room. [00:27:39] John Janke: I’m going off script. I’m curious. Let’s do it. I’m curious on your take on the system integrators. [00:27:44] John Janke: ’cause I think this, this puts like they’re all, a lot of them are creating agents for people and I think that’s turning them almost more into software companies than they’ve ever been. [00:27:53] Dai Vu: They are, and I think they’re, you know, obviously they’re being, uh, impacted from like, you know, typical like, you know, SOW you know, time and materials type type business models. [00:28:02] Dai Vu: But I do think they play a big role because a lot of the system integrators are bringing, um, you know, vertical and business process expertise. And, um, like I said, I said before, a lot of the ISVs are not gonna necessarily have big enough scope in their area to own end-to-end workflows. And that’s really the promise of agents, right? [00:28:20] Dai Vu: You really need. This cognitive, you know, reasoning, planning, executing across end to end workflows. And I think, you know, the system integrators are gonna bring that capability either, either through, you know, these custom, uh, orchestration or meta agents or if they’re able to productize that and bring that to a model, they can also sort of go through the marketplace model as well. [00:28:41] Dai Vu: So who knows is how it’s gonna evolve. But you know, we’ve always been talking about. Marketplace being a broader opportunity for all partner business models. And I think that will extend to not only, uh, you know, traditional sort of, uh, sell and services partners, but also some of these system integrators as well. [00:28:58] Shawn Toldo: If I could comment on that, please. Yeah. I, I was in London two weeks ago and we did an SI partner day. Mm-hmm. We had 25 sis in a room, probably about 50 people. We had no, um, hyperscalers or cloud data warehouse providers. And when we started talking about open data infrastructure. The role that they can play. [00:29:17] Vince Menzione: Mm-hmm. [00:29:18] Shawn Toldo: Cross platform in a cost efficient manner for customers and the advisory orientation of that. They all leaned in and we, we stopped talking and they started talking. [00:29:28] Vince Menzione: Right. [00:29:28] Shawn Toldo: So they’re all facing this kind of same problem, which is actually causing a little bit of a shift, I think, in how they think about, I’m a Databricks partner. [00:29:38] Shawn Toldo: Uh, you sure you wanna do that? [00:29:39] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:29:40] Shawn Toldo: So this, this whole thing that’s kind of evolved in the last six to 12 months, when you kind of pick one horse to ride, I, I would tell you be cautious about what that means. You may pick a horse to lead with mm-hmm. But you’re gonna have to flank yourself a bit in terms of other providers that can help you be successful with that, that that partner you’re gonna roll with. [00:30:00] Vince Menzione: So you’re suggesting data vendor agnostic. [00:30:04] Shawn Toldo: I’m suggesting you really have to think about your strategy. Yeah. Because I think the AI, AI disruption is gonna make you think about that strategy. [00:30:13] John Janke: Yeah, I mean there’s, someone mentioned anthropics First Partner Summit. I was not there, but I’ve heard from a bunch of people were there. [00:30:20] John Janke: You know, they had a hundred partners in the room. 95 of them were system integrators. Five were technology companies, the three Clouds, Databricks and Snowflake. Like if you just think about the, the one of the major disruptors in ai, ISVs, were not in the mix. So I, I think, are they trying to disrupt all of us? [00:30:40] John Janke: Uh, do they need us? And they haven’t figured out how to work with us. I, I think. It’s, it’s, [00:30:44] Vince Menzione: and I’ve heard they only have five people in their partner organization, so I just, it’s, [00:30:49] Shawn Toldo: it’s 11 now, but it’s 11, [00:30:51] Vince Menzione: so it was five [00:30:51] Shawn Toldo: last growing fast in the, in the new company I have 50. So like, to put it in perspective, they have to make some pretty big priority. [00:30:59] John Janke: Yeah. And everyone’s been there a hot second, [00:31:00] Vince Menzione: like, right, exactly. Yeah, they, well, we will talk about the learnings we’ve had over the years, getting to where they need to get to. It’s exciting times. We got a lot to talk about here. Um, I, you know, we have about 15 minutes. I I, I want to kind of gauge, ’cause we could talk, we, we have a few things we could talk about, I could ask about, but I want to see if there’s an, like, an interest in opening up to the room for questions. [00:31:25] Vince Menzione: ’cause I feel like we’ve got a very interesting group here. [00:31:28] Shawn Toldo: You got a hand here? [00:31:29] Vince Menzione: Uh, are there hands that wanna Yeah, there’s some people that wanna ask some questions. So Yeah. We have a mic? Yeah, [00:31:37] Dai Vu: we have [00:31:37] Shawn Toldo: a mic. We, [00:31:37] Vince Menzione: we [00:31:38] Shawn Toldo: got one here. [00:31:38] Vince Menzione: We got one here. One here. Thank you. Sorry we went off script, but [00:31:44] Shawn Toldo: that’s fine. [00:31:45] Vince Menzione: It’s fine. [00:31:45] Dai Vu: Off [00:31:45] Vince Menzione: script. Better is good. [00:31:46] Shawn Toldo: I’m sure you planted the questions outta anyway. It’s okay. We [00:31:48] Vince Menzione: did, we did. [00:31:55] Audience Guest: Okay. All Eva, Sean Lightner, quick question to your, uh, increase on the marketplace, and you said you spiff the salespeople by fifth percent. 5%. Mm-hmm. So, and that obviously drives a very large adoption of, uh, marketplace transactions. How are you accounting for the margin you’re losing on, uh, you know, going through the marketplace? [00:32:14] Audience Guest: And also have you done analysis? I’m sure you have, how much is, uh, shape shifting or shifting from existing versus incremental? [00:32:22] Shawn Toldo: Yeah, it’s a great question. Um, um, lemme make three points. Number one, the backlog statement makes the margin statement not matter. So do you wanna play in that space where a customer’s already bought or not? [00:32:36] Shawn Toldo: Yeah. Or do you wanna force a budget conversation that you have to drive on your own in a direct model? That to me, I think it was 484 4 62 [00:32:43] Dai Vu: 4 6 [00:32:44] Shawn Toldo: 2. [00:32:44] Vince Menzione: That’s new Tam available to you? [00:32:46] Shawn Toldo: Yeah. That, that’s just with one. Right. And we are, we are, uh, running on four marketplaces. So that just increases our tam and makes our, our sellers lives easier. [00:32:55] Shawn Toldo: So on that piece, yes, there’s an expense, but we believe it’s right for growth. So there’s a balance there. Um, I think the, and then the second part of your question again. Sorry, [00:33:05] Vince Menzione: shapeshift. [00:33:05] Shawn Toldo: Oh, shift. We, we actually don’t think we would’ve won the business. So if I go back to our Q4 and I can probably point to three or four deals that went, um, Google Marketplace, we would not have won those deals because we couldn’t have created the budget cycle and that quarter. [00:33:23] Shawn Toldo: To make it happen. Generally a budget cycle is gonna take anywhere from 12 to 15 months. Bingo. Because of the spend that was available to us, we were able to close it in that quarter, and we had the largest Q4 in company history. [00:33:35] Vince Menzione: That is such an important point. I’m sorry. [00:33:37] Dai Vu: Okay. [00:33:38] Vince Menzione: But I, I just wanna, that is such an important point of the budget cycle. [00:33:42] Dai Vu: Yeah. [00:33:43] Vince Menzione: Being a year to a year and a half versus being able to tap into a commitment that’s already been made. Yeah, so I just emphasize that [00:33:51] Dai Vu: I was, I was just gonna add real quick, even, even when we see sort of a, uh, a channel shift renewal, which is, you know, it’s on partner paper and it moves to marketplace as part of the renewals, we do consistently see that the, uh, renewal rates on marketplace and the incremental a CB on the expansion and new opportunities tend to be better when it’s on the platform marketplace than than offline. [00:34:12] Dai Vu: And that’s why partners choose to continue to drive renewals on marketplace at a reduced to rev share. But uh, because they see that that growth, [00:34:20] John Janke: we, we, sorry. [00:34:22] Shawn Toldo: We see that as well. Yeah. And I would also make the statement on our land business, when we go through marketplace, we are two x higher across marketplaces. [00:34:30] Shawn Toldo: We’re three x higher with them. [00:34:32] John Janke: Yeah, I think separate new from renewals and then instrument deeply. [00:34:37] Shawn Toldo: Yeah, [00:34:38] John Janke: go proactively talk to your CFO and your head of rev ops to understand their mindset. Because I was with a billion dollar seller a couple weeks ago, their CFO still creates friction in the process, even though they’re selling a billion dollars through these channels. [00:34:52] John Janke: But when they broke it down, their deals are three times bigger. They do them faster. They use more components of the product, which I thought was a really cool one. So customers who buy this platform, many component platforms through a marketplace, end up using six components of the product. Versus a normal land customer who uses two increases gross in net retention. [00:35:12] John Janke: So you have to get to the point where you have the data and you can tell that story real really clearly to your finance team to get support ’cause that they will trip you up if you don’t get them on board. [00:35:23] Vince Menzione: And you’re saying there’s friction in that company. I’m just kind of curious ’cause a billion dollar company. [00:35:27] John Janke: There’s a billion dollar marketplace seller [00:35:29] Vince Menzione: market marketplace company. That’s what I meant. Yeah. But, but the fact that this, their CFO friction, like, is it, is it because they’re not doing a good enough job or? [00:35:37] John Janke: Uh, in, of educating, I, the root of the question is from this person is, would they win without it? [00:35:44] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:35:45] Shawn Toldo: Oh, and is it worth the three points? [00:35:46] John Janke: Right. It’s, it is And, and I think some pe like to me, it’s the cheapest channel in the world. Yeah. Like with committed budget and people to support you winning. Like the, that formula, the math is so simple. [00:35:57] Shawn Toldo: Yeah. For, for a company of our size to go to like the classic resell ecosystem, I gotta walk in with 30 points. [00:36:02] John Janke: Yeah. [00:36:03] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:36:03] Shawn Toldo: It, it’s an illogical conversation. Outside of public sector and growth, you know, geos around the world. And so I, I’ve been lucky to have a CFO that I haven’t had that challenge with, at least at DBTI should say. [00:36:19] Vince Menzione: Really great insights. I think we have, we have another hand up here. [00:36:28] Audience Guest: Yeah. Thanks Susan. The question is for Dai. Uh, my name is Latif Hamani. I’m the founder of Partner System ai. Um, so what we’ve done is we’ve built a, a co-sell AI agent mm-hmm. That your partners can use to Yeah. Reduce all the friction in the co-sell with you. Uh, the questions that I have is, I guess I should back up, so XAWS Madison with a very large alliances, and then I worked, went on the other side. [00:36:55] Audience Guest: For software companies, and even though I had an operational team, I was spending two to three hours on on the keyboard, right? Mm-hmm. Deal registration, emails that can’t be automated, et cetera. So the question that I have for you is, I’d love for you to validate that. You know, unless you are one of the big companies, one of the big enterprises, if you go to the lower end of the enterprise or the mid market, uh, would you validate that there is a challenge? [00:37:20] Audience Guest: There’s a lot of friction for a smaller company. Mm-hmm. Uh, ’cause these marketplaces are complex. Yeah. The cosell is complex. Uh, that there’s an opportunity to really break down that friction with some automation and ai. [00:37:33] Dai Vu: Yeah, absolutely. So, um, we have already been, uh, part of the journey to remove some of the, uh, the friction as part of that selling and purchasing journey. [00:37:43] Dai Vu: Uh. We’re not quite there yet. But, uh, we’ve done things like we have, uh, you know, private offer APIs. We, uh, we have co-sell, uh, registration automation. Um, you know, we have tools like, uh, propensity to buy, tooling to help, uh, partners do, uh, more targeted efforts. Um, but the a i piece is still coming. Um, so I think, uh, the idea here is that we have launched a number of agents as part of our, um. [00:38:08] Dai Vu: Uh, part of our, uh, Google Cloud Partner network, partner hub. Uh, so these are, uh, agents that are gonna do a bunch of things to help partners as part of their workflow, but we’re gonna extend this to the marketplace and ISV area as well. Uh, so I think there’s a lot of opportunity. So, uh, I know there’s probably a lot of feedback in friction, uh, in, in certain parts. [00:38:29] Dai Vu: So we can, we can go tackle together. [00:38:32] Vince Menzione: Hey. There you go. There was a little [00:38:34] Dai Vu: plug [00:38:34] Shawn Toldo: there for tackle. Exactly. [00:38:37] Dai Vu: Uh, and I wanted, and just to be clear, I want to take a look at it from the end to end, uh, uh, flow, right? It shouldn’t just be just marketplace. It should be all the way from like, you know, top of the funnel, demand generation, all the way to like post transaction follow up. [00:38:51] Dai Vu: So we really need to take a look at, at the, the end, end flows and figure out a way we can remove some of that friction [00:38:56] Vince Menzione: three sense. [00:38:57] Dai Vu: Yeah. [00:38:59] Vince Menzione: Any more questions [00:39:00] Audience Guest: back here? Hey. Hey guys. This, this is a really good discussion. Uh, di this question’s primarily, uh, from, I’m interested in the hyperscaler response. [00:39:09] Audience Guest: Yep. Uh, but all of you, uh, can you talk about the patterns or say more about the patterns between. Um, the consumption of just platform capabilities versus industry workflows. Mm-hmm. And how industry where I, I mean, I, I, my sense is that industry workflows are becoming more [00:39:27] Dai Vu: Yeah. [00:39:28] Audience Guest: Uh, the easier thing for enterprises and SMBs to buy. [00:39:33] Audience Guest: Yeah. Especially SMBs, I think. Um, but say more about those patterns that you’re seeing develop and kind of what is. Uh, who are, where, where are those kind of, where is the demand being driven? Is it, is it, yeah. The search and discover in the marketplace, or is it being led by field sales of mm-hmm. Either GCP or partners? [00:39:55] Dai Vu: Yeah, so let me, I’ll mention a couple, a couple areas where, where it’s growing. So I think number one I mentioned before about some of these large horizontal business apps that we’re partnering with, right? Um, and, uh, and of course the fact that we’re, we’re, we’re transacting them through marketplace is, is a huge. [00:40:14] Dai Vu: Evolution from a few years ago. So who would’ve thought you would be buying like, you know, a hundred million dollars a CB deals, uh, through, through marketplace with like a Salesforce or a ServiceNow workday. But it’s happening now. And to be clear, all these. Horizontal business app. They’re not doing this in a very, you know, opportunistic, transactional way. [00:40:32] Dai Vu: They basically see marketplace and cloud go to market as a strategic growth lever for them. So that’s one big area. So from just a pure large deal perspective. Okay. Then you mentioned before around sort of corporate and SMB. Well, we find that a lot of the big opportunities are mostly around as they scale their business, uh, they’re not necessarily looking for things in the traditional sort of infrastructure space, but they’re looking for, you know, full SaaS applications to help scale their business, right? [00:40:58] Dai Vu: So it would be CRM, finance, hr, these types of solutions to become very attractive for some of this, uh, downstream market. And then lastly, as I mentioned before, which is, uh, when we think about this gentrification and owning, um. Uh, driving, uh, this business process and vertical, the ISVs become very important along with the services partners who bring that domain expertise to drive the end to end workflow. [00:41:25] Dai Vu: So I think that’s gonna be increasingly important. So those are three areas I think we need to watch out for. We. Okay. [00:41:30] John Janke: Maybe one thing, like as the cloud commit grows inside of companies, it’s shifted from being an engineering department, IT department budget line item to a corporate finance budget line item. [00:41:40] John Janke: Typically one of the top five to 10 expenses in a company. So that has shifted. Who is thinking about optimizing? The cloud commit with marketplace contracts. And that opens, that’s really opened up the avenue in addition to like these biz apps, vertical apps players. Yeah. Like having success. So I, I do think even inside your own company, evaluating where your cloud commits are, who owns them and are they thinking about the intersection of marketplace? [00:42:06] John Janke: ’cause I, I think it’s smaller companies, they’re still figuring it out. I run into engineering leaders who still own the commits, uh, but in medium to large companies. Very different. [00:42:16] Vince Menzione: Really good point. Because it, you know this, the optics change dramatically, right? This large commitment is now at the board level, [00:42:23] John Janke: right? [00:42:23] John Janke: And then you do have to teach your sellers as a vertical or business application player how to ask that question. ’cause the first resistance everybody says is, oh my, my person, my stakeholder, we. Manufacturing vertical application provider talking at an event last week, and they’re like, the shop floor manufacturing owner doesn’t know anything about the cloud commit. [00:42:43] John Janke: But if they ask the question, be like, Hey, do you guys have a strategic relationship with Google? Would it be easier to buy our product on the bill? Eight out of 10 times they get a yes. So [00:42:52] Vince Menzione: which is why the 5% comes in And that really accelerates the conversation happening. Yeah. We’ve got three more minutes. [00:43:01] Vince Menzione: Um, if we don’t have any other questions, I ha I have one for each of you really about the maturity model and partners are in the room that are not committed yet, right? We’ve talked about some very significant DBTs doing some incredible things, right? So we, there’s maybe a sense that like we, you, you are working with the be the biggest and the best out there, but what about everyone else that’s in the room that maybe isn’t committed yet? [00:43:23] Vince Menzione: And maybe they’re in motion, but they need some help and advice on what to go do next. What? What would you say die first? [00:43:30] Dai Vu: So they’re early stage, [00:43:31] Vince Menzione: early, early stage or not, they’re not on board yet. They’re not, yeah. They’re not with you yet. [00:43:35] Dai Vu: Yeah. So I’ll, I’ll go back to my earlier comment, which is that as you go into the journey, just be very intentional about what you need to do from an operational, investment people, uh, technology perspective. [00:43:47] Dai Vu: Uh, because it could be, it could be a multi-year journey. Um, uh, so I’d say go into it with the right expectations as opposed to thinking it’s going to be some accelerated six month thing that Sean has been driving here. It’s, he’s the outlier. [00:43:59] Shawn Toldo: But, but the reason for the outlier, [00:44:00] Dai Vu: yeah. [00:44:01] Shawn Toldo: And just to add to the intentional point Yeah. [00:44:02] Shawn Toldo: Is, you know, hire the right people. Right. So, somebody told me a long time ago, uh, hire slow, fire fast. That’s a really, really, really good principle that I take. Mm-hmm. I don’t like the fire part, obviously, but just for context, I, I am very lucky to have a great set of leaders that we were able to add people in. [00:44:24] Shawn Toldo: When I walked in the door, we had a person that was leading the Snowflake and AWS partnership. I had nobody on GCPI had nobody on Microsoft. I had nobody on Databricks. And then we made prioritization decisions on where we’re gonna go next. And so we hired people that had the experience and could drive the outcome in the right way. [00:44:43] Shawn Toldo: But we were very thoughtful about when we made those decisions on a quarterly basis, not a daily basis. So who you’re gonna bet on and then who you’re gonna put in the seat to make that bet come to life, I think is a really important thing as well. [00:44:58] John Janke: Yeah. [00:44:58] Vince Menzione: John, you worked with the be biggest and the best out there, so Yeah, sorry. [00:45:01] John Janke: Well, I think there’s the, like there’s the bottoms up and the tops down. Like seven years ago, this was all bottoms up. It was a partner leader who thought launching a marketplace would be good and they would go figure out how to do some deals and then sell their way up. Today there’s a lot more top down where people get it. [00:45:17] John Janke: But you can evaluate top down pretty fast. ’cause if you go talk to your CEO, you talk to your head of product, you talk to your CFO, and they have an allergic reaction to these concepts. You know, you have to go bottoms up. But there also are success story examples in every single ISV category that exists. [00:45:33] John Janke: Like this is not just security and data and DevOp like the, I think the ServiceNow. Salesforce workday. Examples are really great, like the marketing tech examples, more and more business of vertical apps every day. So I do think you can look at those people who’ve been successful. Maybe they’re your competitors, maybe they’re people you aspire to be and reference them as you’re trying to figure out how to do top down. [00:45:55] John Janke: But like you need both. You can’t win long term unless you get top down and bottom up aligned. [00:46:01] Shawn Toldo: And, and when I, when I would go ask for resourcing, I would always get the question, do, could you go faster with more? And I’d say, no. Gimme the one or two humans here, let me go prove it out and I’ll come back. [00:46:13] Shawn Toldo: So there’s a little bit of a strategy in doing that, that you’re gonna get more over time when you’re, you know, very measured in how you go ask for investment and resource. And so I would just add that point also. [00:46:27] Vince Menzione: Was, was hiring a significant component of your executive commitment, Sean? I mean, [00:46:33] Shawn Toldo: yes. So when I walked in the door at DBT, we had eight people in the partner organization. [00:46:38] Shawn Toldo: Today we have 25, and that was 18 months ago. But that did not happen. I didn’t go in and ask for, you know, that 16 people. Right. I asked over time in a very measured way with, you know, the programs and strategy team, like, what can we also support? You don’t want to bring somebody in to go do something and you don’t have the programs and operations side to support it ’cause they’ll fail. [00:47:01] Shawn Toldo: So we’ve been very thoughtful about how we’ve done that as well. [00:47:04] Vince Menzione: Die from you. I know you had something. [00:47:06] Dai Vu: No, no, no. I, I was good. [00:47:08] Vince Menzione: What is the one thing that people in this room need to go better and differently? Is there one, is there one specific thing other than what we’ve already discussed, did we miss anything? [00:47:16] Dai Vu: No, I would just, the whole identification. So obviously, uh, identifying this is not just like slapping a chat bot, but more around thinking all the things we talked about, product commercials, but also go to market where it’s agent first, where you can surface your agent in a workflow like Gemini Enterprise app. [00:47:34] Dai Vu: That’s gonna drive high alignment with how we work and go to market with Google. [00:47:38] Vince Menzione: Awesome. [00:47:38] Dai Vu: Yeah. [00:47:40] Vince Menzione: Wow. Good stuff. Yeah. Very good session. [00:47:44] Dai Vu: Thank [00:47:44] Vince Menzione: you guys.

In this week's episode, we question whether the Specialized Tarmac SL9 is a true upgrade or just an iPhone-style micro-update, look at the shrinking footprint of Eurobike, and talk Tour de France storylines. Show Notes: This week is a big one for me. Logan is out doing the Tour de France thing, and Mike is nursing his wounds somewhere. That leaves just myself and Lisa Charlebois running the studio, which means after all this time, this is officially my first time hosting the podcast. Of course we have to talk about the Tour, so that is where we start. Charlebois is the one who knows the most about the ins and outs of the riders, so I ask her to explain some of what we should be looking for. She's all-in on the Paul Seixas hype train, wondering if the 19-year-old rookie can snag a stage win for Decathlon. Meanwhile, I ask about Tadej Pogačar and she tells me about potential inner drama over at UAE compared to the clear roles at Visma. Since the Tour is going to get plenty of coverage soon, we kept this light. Before we get into the real meat of the episode though, I have to talk about San Francisco and traffic. Charlebois spends her time riding there and, like everyone else in San Francisco, she seems happy to deal with cars. I take a minute to say I dislike Mt. Tam and we veer into some unexpected tips for riding in traffic. Next, we get into Eurobike. I just got back from Frankfurt, and the main takeaway is that the show is shrinking down to just a couple of halls. However, there were still talking points. Canyon showed up with a 3D-printed concept bike loaded with integrated cameras and a radar system that looks suspiciously like their next aero bike. I also break down a panel on women in cycling, discussing how the industry continues to overlook a demographic with massive spending power. Finally, we tackle the Specialized Tarmac SL9. Logan reviewed it on the site, but Charlebois and I dig into the reality of a bike that claims to be four watts faster but weighs and looks nearly identical to the last generation. We talk about the new "win fin" and whether consumers should be hyped about incremental micro-updates or if there is simply an expectation that the new model has to exist, much like the newest iPhone. Listen to the full episode for all the details, and let us know if you think the SL9 is worth the squeeze.
What will the music business actually look like in 2030? In this special panel from the Grow the TAM summit, Tatiana Cirisano, VP of Music Strategy at MIDiA Research, leads a wide-ranging conversation about the future of music monetization with three industry veterans: Liz Moody, partner and chair of the new media practice at Granderson Des Rochers; Mauhan Zonoozy, founder of Vinyl Bar in Shibuya and former head of innovation at Spotify; and Ty Roberts, CEO of FanTracks and founder of Gracenote. The panel covers AI licensing and generative music platforms, why one panelist argues artists should be negotiating for equity in AI companies rather than royalties, the rise of direct fan subscription platforms, music's untapped opportunity in gaming and interactive experiences, the vinyl revival and whether physical media nostalgia is a real market or a performative trend, and the future of virtual artist concerts and digital fan engagement. If you work in music tech, music publishing, artist management, streaming, or the creator economy, this conversation is essential listening for anyone trying to understand where music revenue is heading next.

From a childhood dream of becoming an inventor like Louis Pasteur to leading commercial due diligence for private equity funds like KKR and HIG, Josh Emington shares how his team sizes markets, calls real customers, and spots the growth opportunities other investors miss. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with Josh Emington, a partner at The Martec Group, a boutique strategic consulting and market research firm. Josh leads Martec's value creation team, working with lower middle market and middle market private equity funds including KKR, HIG, Granite, Rotunda Capital, and Everglades Equity. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN How commercial due diligence tests whether a deal's growth story actually holds up, why customer concentration can erase a company overnight, and what a free pre-diligence memo can flag before a client spends real money. Josh also explains why his team still picks up the phone to call a target's real customers, and how AI has compressed Martec's research timelines from seven days to two. JOSH'S JOURNEY Josh's path into research started at a scholastic book sale, where his parents picked up a chemistry kit and a book about Louis Pasteur. He decided he wanted to be an inventor who saved lives the way Pasteur had. His first real deal came as an Eagle Scout, selling popcorn door to door to earn a trip. The professional turning point came on a customer journey project for a top manufacturer of toilet seats. When his team learned that customers had no idea who to call when a seat broke, they recommended putting the brand name on the back. Two years later Josh saw the brand on a hotel toilet seat and, as he told Corey, "just making an impact in a business like that doesn't get any better." Over the past decade Josh has executed hundreds of global research and consulting engagements at Martec, focused on commercial due diligence, M&A funnel support, target identification, and customer due diligence anchored in primary research. KEY INSIGHTS Commercial due diligence looks at both the risks that could blow up a deal and the opportunities a buyer might be paying for without realizing it. Josh shared a southern Florida example where his team helped a client acquire a lawn care installation business alongside a separate maintenance company, turning one time jobs into recurring revenue. Skipping pre-diligence is a common mistake. At least three times a year, Josh's team will deliver a short, free memo that sometimes recommends an investor not proceed at all because a technology is about to obsolesce or a competitor is far more advanced than the marketing suggests. Customer concentration is the biggest single risk Josh's team flags. As he put it, if 10 customers or even one customer accounts for 70 percent of revenue and that relationship ends, you do not have a company anymore. Corey pushed back from his seller side perspective, arguing buyers should consider structural protections tied to retention rather than discounting valuation outright. About 10 percent of Josh's M&A work happens on the sell side through exit planning. In one engagement, his team interviewed 2,000 rug buyers for an upper middle market online rug company to give a skeptical buyer the confidence that the brand really commanded its prices. AI has also compressed Martec's research timelines from seven days to two, and Josh's team now applies a triple AI lens to every deal, assessing how AI will affect the target's market, its workforce, and its own customers. Perfect for private equity investors, business owners preparing for sale, and dealmakers who want to understand what really gets tested before a deal closes.
