Miivo Holdings CEO Alex Damouni joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the successful completion of the company's previously announced acquisition of Tandem Partners, a Dubai-based advisory and operational management firm that has played a significant role in Miivo's development since its inception. Under the terms of the transaction, Miivo acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Tandem from its shareholders, formally bringing the business and its leadership team fully into the company. Damouni described the acquisition as a natural progression of a relationship that has been deeply integrated into Miivo's operations from the very beginning. According to Damouni, Tandem has been a key strategic partner throughout Miivo's growth journey, providing critical executive leadership and operational support through a longstanding contractual arrangement. Under that relationship, Tandem supplied CEO and CFO services to the company while also contributing significantly to the development of Miivo's flagship AI CFO platform. The acquisition effectively formalizes an existing partnership that has already demonstrated its value through the creation and expansion of Miivo's AI-driven financial management solutions. Management believes the move will create greater alignment between strategic planning, product development, and execution as the company enters its next phase of growth. Damouni noted that consolidating Tandem's capabilities within Miivo will strengthen the company's internal resources and leadership structure while reducing reliance on external service arrangements. By integrating the team directly into the organization, Miivo expects to improve operational efficiency, streamline decision-making processes, and accelerate execution across key business initiatives. The transaction also supports Miivo's broader strategy of scaling its AI-powered products and services in a rapidly evolving financial technology market. The company believes the combination of Tandem's advisory expertise and Miivo's artificial intelligence platform will enhance its ability to deliver innovative solutions designed to help businesses improve financial management, forecasting, reporting, and strategic decision-making. Damouni emphasized that the acquisition represents more than just a corporate transaction—it reflects the evolution of a long-standing partnership that has already helped shape Miivo's business. With Tandem now fully integrated, the company believes it is better positioned to accelerate product development, enhance execution capabilities, and continue building value through its AI-powered financial technology platform. #proactiveinvestors #miivoholdings #tsxv #mivo #AIForBusiness #Business #ArtificialIntelligence #Fintech #AICFO #BusinessTechnology #DigitalTransformation #FinancialTechnology #CorporateGrowth #AIInnovation #BusinessStrategy

Geschätzte Lesedauer: 11 Minuten Hand aufs Herz: Wenn du in deiner letzten Stellenanzeige „mindestens zehn Jahre Branchenerfahrung" gefordert hast, dann hast du auf eines der schlechtesten Kriterien gesetzt, die die Forschung kennt. Klingt hart? Ist aber so. Wenn du im Vertrieb Vertriebsmitarbeiter einstellen willst, die wirklich performen, musst du dich von ein paar lieb gewonnenen Annahmen verabschieden. Denn die Kriterien, auf die wir im Recruiting am häufigsten filtern, sind nach vier Jahrzehnten Forschung genau die mit der schwächsten Treffsicherheit. In diesem Beitrag zeige ich dir, wie du einen Recruiting-Prozess auf Basis echter Daten aufbaust – kein Bauchgefühl, keine Bro-Science, sondern das, was die Wissenschaft wirklich misst. Du erfährst, welche Auswahl-Werkzeuge funktionieren, warum der laute Verkäufer ein Mythos ist und wie du deine Fehlerquote von rund 40 % auf unter 10 % drückst. Warum die meisten beim Vertriebsmitarbeiter einstellen die falschen Kriterien nutzen Das teure Missverständnis Ich werde immer öfter gefragt: „Chris, schau dir mal unseren Recruiting-Prozess an, wir stellen ständig die Falschen ein." Und fast immer sehe ich dasselbe Muster – es werden die falschen Methoden genutzt. Berufserfahrung, Studienabschluss, ein nettes Gespräch nach Sympathie. Das fühlt sich sicher an, hat aber mit der Vorhersage von Vertriebserfolg wenig zu tun. Warum sich der Irrtum so hartnäckig hält Diese Kriterien wirken plausibel. Niemand wird gefeuert, weil er einen Kandidaten mit zehn Jahren Branchenerfahrung eingestellt hat. Genau deshalb hält sich der Irrtum so hartnäckig. Wer aber wirklich gute Vertriebsmitarbeiter einstellen will, muss aufhören, auf das zu filtern, was sich gut anfühlt – und anfangen, auf das zu setzen, was nachweislich funktioniert. Gutes Vertriebsrecruiting ist keine exakte Wissenschaft, aber es gibt sehr viel belegtes Wissen, das die meisten schlicht übergehen. Vertriebsmitarbeiter einstellen: Was eine Korrelation wirklich aussagt Zwei Beispiele zum Einordnen Damit du die folgenden Zahlen einordnen kannst, ein kurzer Methoden-Check. Wir sprechen von Korrelationen. Eine Korrelation liegt zwischen 0 und 1: Null heißt kein Zusammenhang, eins heißt perfekte Vorhersage. In der Personalauswahl kommst du praktisch nie über 0,60 – und das nur, wenn du die richtigen Methoden klug kombinierst. Die Korrelation zwischen regelmäßiger Aspirin-Einnahme und einem geringeren Herzinfarktrisiko liegt bei rund 0,03 – und rettet trotzdem Millionen Leben. Rauchen und Lungenkrebs hängen mit etwa 0,40 zusammen. Das ist die größte einzelne Risikoursache, die wir kennen. Eine 0,40 klingt also mickrig, ist in Wahrheit aber ein sehr starker Effekt. Die Faustregel-Skala für die Treffsicherheit Praktisch heißt das: Bei einem Wert von 0,40 hast du in einem Team von 20 Leuten statt drei oder vier Fehlbesetzungen nur noch ein oder zwei. Über drei Jahre gerechnet sind das Hunderttausende Euro Unterschied. Als grobe Orientierung gilt: unter 0,10 ist statistisch wertlos, 0,10 bis 0,20 ist schwach, 0,20 bis 0,35 ist praktisch relevant, 0,35 bis 0,50 ist sehr gut für ein einzelnes Werkzeug – und alles über 0,50 erreichst du nur durch Kombination. Vertriebsrecruiting: Welche Auswahl-Werkzeuge funktionieren Seit über 40 Jahren untersucht die Forschung, wie gut einzelne Auswahl-Werkzeuge Berufserfolg vorhersagen. Wenn du dir die Werte ansiehst, ergibt sich eine klare Rangfolge – und sie widerspricht ziemlich genau dem, was im Mittelstand üblich ist. Wer datenbasiert Vertriebsmitarbeiter einstellen will, sollte diese Reihenfolge kennen. Strukturierte Interviews schlagen das Bauchgefühl Strukturierte Interviews – also Gespräche, bei denen du vorher genau festlegst, welche Fragen du stellst und welche Antworten gut oder schlecht sind – kommen auf einen Wert von 0,42. Unstrukturierte Interviews, das, was du typischerweise siehst, liegen nur bei 0,19. Allein die Struktur verdoppelt also die Treffsicherheit deines Interviews. Das muss man sich auf der Zunge zergehen lassen – und kaum jemand macht es. Arbeitsproben liegen bei 0,33, kognitive Leistung bei rund 0,31, Wissens-Tests bei 0,40. Berufsjahre und Abschlüsse sind fast wertlos Und jetzt der unbequeme Teil: Berufsjahre haben einen Wert von 0,09, Ausbildungsjahre von 0,10 – also quasi nutzlos für die Vorhersage von Vertriebserfolg. Handschrift-Gutachten kommen auf 0,02, das ist reines Voodoo. Wenn deine Ausschreibung Berufsjahre fordert und dein Interview unstrukturiert verläuft, setzt du auf zwei Kriterien zwischen 0,09 und 0,19. Das ist statistisch fast Würfeln. Werkzeuge kombinieren: Von 40 % auf unter 10 % Fehleinstellungen Jetzt kommt der spannendste Hebel. Wenn du die richtigen Werkzeuge kombinierst, kannst du die Treffsicherheit nochmal verdoppeln. Wichtig: Du zählst die Werte nicht einfach zusammen. Ein strukturiertes Interview (0,42) plus eine Arbeitsprobe (0,33) ergibt nicht 0,75. Denn jedes Werkzeug erfasst einen anderen Teil der Leistung. Warum sich gute Kombinationen ergänzen Zwei Verfahren, die Verschiedenes messen, ergänzen sich – zwei, die das Gleiche messen, bringen nichts. Ein kognitiver Test plus ein strukturiertes Interview treibt die Treffsicherheit auf etwa 0,63. Für den Vertrieb ist die stärkste Kombination: strukturiertes Interview plus Arbeitsprobe plus geprüfte Past Performance. Damit landest du bei 0,60 bis 0,65. Nimmst du für die Finalisten noch einen Persönlichkeitstest dazu, kommst du fast auf 0,68. Über 0,70 schaffst du selbst mit sechs Werkzeugen kaum – das ist die theoretische Decke. Was das für deine Fehlerquote bedeutet Übersetzt in die Praxis heißt das: Im klassischen Verfahren liegt deine „Luftpumpen-Quote", also das Risiko einer Fehleinstellung, bei rund 42 %. Fast jeder Zweite daneben. Mit der Maximalkombination sinkt sie auf 8 bis 10 %. Du kommst also von einer Fehlerquote von 40 % auf unter 10 %. Darüber muss man eigentlich nicht mehr reden. Kein Prozess liefert 100 % Sicherheit – aber wer die richtigen Werkzeuge kombiniert, ärgert sich nicht über die übrigen 10 %, sondern vermeidet die teuren 30 % dazwischen. Die Überraschung: Der laute Verkäufer ist ein Mythos Ambivertierte gewinnen Speziell für den Vertrieb gibt es einen Befund, der viele überrascht. Es hält sich die Annahme: je extrovertierter, desto besser der Verkäufer. Falsch. Studien zeigen, dass die besonders Extrovertierten nicht besonders gut verkaufen – aber die ganz Introvertierten eben auch nicht. Am erfolgreichsten sind die in der Mitte: die Ambivertierten, die je nach Situation zwischen offensiv und ruhig wählen können. Was wirklich zählt: Achievement Drive Der klassische Dampfplauderer ist also nicht dein Top-Performer. Im Interview gewinnt er trotzdem oft, weil er redegewandt ist – und genau hier liegen viele falsch. Der stärkste Faktor ist nicht Lautstärke, sondern Achievement Drive: das Leistungsstreben, der Wille zu gewinnen. Und das ist oft leise. Past Sales Performance allein hat übrigens einen Wert von rund 0,50 – der stärkste einzelne Faktor überhaupt. Wer das ernst nimmt, wird beim Vertriebsmitarbeiter einstellen nie wieder auf den lautesten Bewerber hereinfallen. Die Asymmetrie der Trainierbarkeit: selektiere DNA, trainiere Skill Was schnell lernbar ist – und was nicht Hier kommt der vielleicht wichtigste Denkfehler, den du vermeiden musst. Ja, im Prinzip kann man alles lernen. Aber der Trainingsertrag ist sehr verschieden. Skills und Wissen – eine SPIN-Selling-Methode, MEDDIC, ein CRM, dein Produktwissen – hat ein cleverer Verkäufer in Wochen bis Monaten drauf. Das ist mir bei der Auswahl deshalb ziemlich egal. Die rationale Strategie beim Vertriebsmitarbeiter einstellen Persönlichkeit dagegen verschiebt sich nur über Jahre. Achievement Drive, Frustrationstoleranz, intellektuelle Neugier – das bringst du jemandem im Onboarding nicht bei. Daraus folgt die einzig rationale Strategie, wenn du Vertriebsmitarbeiter einstellen willst: Selektiere auf das Stabile, trainiere das Veränderbare. Wer das Leistungsstreben nicht mitbringt, lernt es bei dir nicht mehr. Wer das Branchenvokabular nicht kennt, lernt es in drei Monaten. Die zwei häufigsten Fehler beim Vertriebsmitarbeiter einstellen Fehler 1: Der Fachexperte ohne Vertriebs-Ader Beide klassischen Fehler haben dieselbe Wurzel: Risiko meiden statt sauber prüfen. Der erste Fehler ist der Fachexperte ohne Vertriebs-Ader – der Servicetechniker oder Anwendungsingenieur, der zum Verkäufer gemacht wird. Fachlich top zu sein erhöht die Chance, vertrieblich zu performen, schlicht nicht. Nach 20 Jahren in der fachlichen Beratung ist der Komfort in dieser Rolle kein Trainingsthema mehr. Fehler 2: Der Abschluss-Crack ohne Produkt-Interesse Der zweite Fehler ist das Spiegelbild: der abschlussstarke Sales-Crack ohne echtes Interesse am Produkt. Im Gespräch fragt er nur nach Provision, Gebiet und Tools – nie nach der Lösung. Im komplexen, beratungsintensiven Vertrieb wird der nie glaubwürdig als Experte auftreten. Der Branchenkenner fühlt sich sicher, weil seine Etikette stimmt. Der laute Verkäufer fühlt sich sicher, weil er Gespräche gewinnt. Beide sagen wenig über echte Leistung aus. Der Adjacent Industry Hire: die Lösung für den Bewerbermangel Adjazenz schlägt Branchenetikett Was tust du stattdessen? Du holst dir jemanden, der die Grundeigenschaften eines guten Verkäufers schon mitbringt – aus einer verwandten Branche. Das nennt sich Adjacent Industry Hire und ist sogar wissenschaftlich untersucht. Beispiele: ein SaaS-Vertriebler ins ERP-Geschäft, ein Industrieautomatisierer in die Robotik, jemand aus der Spezialchemie in den Bereich Coatings. Worauf es wirklich ankommt Entscheidend ist nicht die Branche selbst, sondern die Nähe von vier Dingen: Buyer-Persona, Sales-Cycle-Länge, Komplexität des Verkaufs und Entscheidungsstruktur. Wer mit ähnlichen Ansprechpartnern, in einem ähnlichen Zyklus und einer vergleichbaren Komplexität gearbeitet hat, bringt 100 % des Skills mit und braucht nur drei Monate für die Domain Fluency. „Zehn Jahre Branchenerfahrung" ist eben kein Eignungskriterium – es ist die Risiko-Versicherung des Recruiters, auf Kosten der Vertriebsleistung. Wann Fachwissen doch vor Sales-DNA geht Der Lackmustest für deine Rolle Damit ich ehrlich bleibe: Es gibt Fälle, in denen das Fachwissen wirklich vorgeht. Das gilt in hochregulierten, hochtechnischen Feldern – Pharma, Medical Devices, Halbleiter, Spezialchemie, Aerospace oder hochregulierte Cybersecurity. Der Lackmustest ist einfach: Hältst du das Erstgespräch ohne tiefes Fachwissen fünf Minuten durch, oder bist du sofort raus? Drei Lösungen für hochtechnische Rollen Nimm die OP-Technik: Wer nicht mitreden kann, wenn der Chirurg zur Sache kommt, bekommt keinen zweiten Termin. In solchen Fällen hast du drei Optionen: den seltenen Hybrid (teuer und schwer zu finden), den klassischen technischen Verkäufer mit Sales-Basis oder ein Tandem aus Verkäufer und Sales Engineer. Die Frage ist nie pauschal Fach oder Skill, sondern: Wie hoch ist die fachliche Hürde ins Erstgespräch dieser konkreten Rolle? So bildest du das richtige Anforderungsprofil Bevor du den ersten Lebenslauf liest, musst du wissen, wonach du suchst. Und zwar nicht aus dem Profil des – vielleicht mittelmäßigen – Vorgängers und nicht aus einer kopierten Stellenanzeige. Die saubere Methode heißt Anforderungsanalyse: Du leitest die Kriterien aus der Leistung deiner echten Top-Performer ab. In fünf Schritten zum richtigen Anforderungsprofil In fünf Schritten zu einem Anforderungsprofil, das wirklich auf Vertriebserfolg setzt – statt den nächsten Klon des Vorgängers zu suchen. Top-Performer analysieren Geh nicht von der Rolle aus, sondern von den Menschen, die heute oben performen. Was haben sie in Werdegang, Arbeitsstil und Persönlichkeit gemeinsam? Interviewe sie zu ihren besten Deals. Die Rolle entlang vier Achsen abklopfen Sales-Cycle-Länge, Komplexität (Einzelentscheider vs. Buying Center), Akquise- vs. Bestandsanteil und Beratungstiefe. Daraus ergibt sich deine Buyer-Persona. Strategisch vorausschauen Wo geht die Rolle in zwei bis drei Jahren hin? Welche Skills werden vom Nice-to-Have zur Pflicht? Definiere nicht die Rolle von gestern. Must-Have von Nice-to-Have trennen Maximal drei bis fünf Must-Haves – und zwar alles, was kaum trainierbar ist: Achievement Drive, Frustrationstoleranz, Neugier, Past Performance. Produktwissen und CRM sind Nice-to-Have. In messbare CV-Signale übersetzen Aus „Achievement Drive" wird „belegte Quoten-Übererfüllung in zwei der letzten drei Jahre". Lege pro Signal einen klaren Schwellenwert fest. Anforderungsprofil ist nicht gleich Stellenbeschreibung Mehr als fünf Anforderungen brauchst du nicht – Studien zeigen, dass Bewerber ohnehin nur rund fünf Kriterien wirklich wahrnehmen. Das Anforderungsprofil ist nicht die Stellenbeschreibung. Die Stellenbeschreibung ist Werbung. Das Anforderungsprofil sagt, was jemand können muss, um in der Rolle erfolgreich zu sein. Zwei verschiedene Dokumente. Was im Lebenslauf wirklich zählt Wenn du Vertriebsmitarbeiter einstellen willst, ist der Lebenslauf kein Vorhersage-Werkzeug. Er ist ein Filter, der die Falschen aussortiert. Lies ihn rückwärts – fang bei der letzten Leistungs-Zahl an. Im CV zählen Zahlen, nicht Adjektive. Harte Signale: worauf du achtest Harte Signale sind: konkrete Quoten-Erreichung in Prozent („120 % der Quote in 2023"), ein Ranking im Team („Top 3 von 40"), bezifferte Deal-Größen und Cycle-Komplexität sowie Beförderungen innerhalb des Unternehmens. Red Flags: was dich stoppen sollte Red Flags sind: „verantwortlich für" statt „erreicht", Worthülsen wie „strategischer Vertriebsansatz" ohne Zahlen und Job-Hopping unter 18 Monaten pro Station ohne erkennbaren Grund. Die unbequeme Wahrheit: In den meisten deutschen Lebensläufen stehen die entscheidenden Zahlen gar nicht. Deshalb filterst du beim CV nur grob vor – und holst die fehlenden Fakten im Telefon-Pre-Screening. Verkäufer ohne Zahlen im CV haben entweder keine, schlechte – oder sie wissen nicht, dass Zahlen das Einzige sind, was im Vertriebs-CV zählt. Vertriebsrecruiting-Prozess: vom CV bis zum Onboarding Kriterien allein nützen nichts ohne Prozess. Wer 80 Lebensläufe planlos liest, sortiert am Ende den Falschen mit dem schönsten Foto rein. Du brauchst einen Trichter: erst Hard-Filter gegen die harten Signale (maximal 90 Sekunden pro CV), dann eine strukturierte Bewertung mit mindestens drei Signalen für die Einladung. Das Telefon-Pre-Screening: der unterschätzte ROI-Hebel Das Telefon-Pre-Screening ist der am stärksten unterschätzte Schritt im ganzen Prozess. In 15 bis 20 Minuten holst du die Zahlen, die im Lebenslauf fehlen: Quoten-Historie prüfen, Wechselgrund, Gehaltsrahmen, eine Frage zum echten Verhalten. Zwanzig Minuten am Telefon ersparen dir zwei Stunden falsch geführte Vor-Ort-Interviews. Und vergiss das Active Sourcing nicht – die richtig guten Verkäufer bewerben sich selten, sie werden gefunden. Ein gesundes Verhältnis sind 50 % Bewerbungseingang und 50 % Active Sourcing. Drei diagnostische Interviewfragen Im eigentlichen Interview haben sich drei Fragen bewährt. Erstens: „Wie würdest du dich in 30 Tagen in unsere Produktwelt einarbeiten?" – das misst Selbststeuerung und Lernstrategie. Zweitens: „Erzähl mir vom letzten Deal, den du selbst akquiriert hast – nicht ausgebaut, nicht betreut." – das trennt den echten Hunter vom Beziehungspfleger. Drittens: „Wie würdest du unser Produkt nach einer Stunde Vorbereitung verkaufen?" – das misst, wie schnell jemand von Produktmerkmal zu Kundennutzen übersetzt, die zentrale Vertriebsfähigkeit. Wichtig: Diese Fragen sind nur valide mit einer vorab festgelegten Bewertungsrubrik. Und geh nie allein ins Interview – idealerweise stellt HR die Fragen, die Führungskraft beobachtet. Die Rolle von HR: vom Briefträger zum methodischen Treiber Was HR wirklich leisten muss Hier sterben die meisten guten Prozesse. HR leitet CVs weiter, dann Funkstille – und der Vertriebsleiter entscheidet wieder aus dem Bauch. Eine starke Personalabteilung ist nicht der Verwalter im Hintergrund, sondern der methodische Treiber des Prozesses. Von HR kommen die Interview-Leitfäden, die Bewertungs-Skalen, die Arbeitsproben und die Test-Werkzeuge – das ganze Handwerk. Geschwindigkeit ist Qualität HR sorgt dafür, dass der Prozess eingehalten wird, dass die Kriterien gemeinsam festgelegt werden und dass die Führungskraft sauber durch den Prozess geführt wird. Dazu gehört auch Geschwindigkeit: Die besten Kandidaten sind laut LinkedIn nur rund zehn Tage aktiv verfügbar, nach 30 Tagen haben sich über 50 % anders entschieden. Geschwindigkeit ist im Recruiting nicht das Gegenteil von Sorgfalt – sie ist deren Ergebnis. Recruiting endet nicht mit dem Vertrag: Onboarding als zweiter Filter Die diagnostische Verlängerung Auch wer sauber Vertriebsmitarbeiter einstellen will, produziert mit dem besten Prozess noch rund 10 % Fehleinstellungen – das lässt sich rechnerisch nicht vermeiden. Genau diese 10 % fängst du im Onboarding ab. Denn 70 bis 80 % der späteren Fehlbesetzungen zeigen ihre Muster schon in den ersten drei Monaten. Klare Entscheidungspunkte nach 30, 60, 90 Tagen Verstehe das Onboarding deshalb nicht in erster Linie als Wissens-Vermittlung, sondern als Verlängerung des Recruitings mit anderen Mitteln: feste Check-ins, klare Frühwarn-Zeichen, klare Entscheidungspunkte nach 30, 60 und 90 Tagen. Wer nach 60 Tagen vor sich hin meckert und nicht vorankommt, wird nach 120 Tagen meistens nicht besser – sondern schlechter. Nutze die Probezeit konsequent als das, was sie ist: deine zweite Chance. Quick Takeaways Branchenjahre und Abschlüsse sind fast wertlos (Wert 0,09–0,10) – sie sind die teuersten falschen Kriterien. Strukturierte Interviews verdoppeln die Treffsicherheit gegenüber unstrukturierten Gesprächen (0,42 vs. 0,19). Die Kombination der richtigen Werkzeuge senkt die Fehlerquote von ~40 % auf unter 10 %. Achievement Drive schlägt Extraversion – der laute Dampfplauderer ist ein Mythos, die Ambivertierten gewinnen. Selektiere auf das Stabile, trainiere das Veränderbare: Persönlichkeit bleibt über Jahre, Skills holst du in Monaten auf. Der Adjacent Industry Hire löst den Bewerbermangel – Nähe von Buyer-Persona, Cycle, Komplexität und Entscheidungsstruktur zählt, nicht das Branchenetikett. Telefon-Pre-Screening und HR als Treiber sind die unterschätztesten Hebel im ganzen Prozess. Fazit: Schluss mit dem Würfeln beim Vertriebsmitarbeiter einstellen Die drei Kernsätze Fassen wir zusammen. Strukturierte Interviews, Arbeitsproben und kognitive Tests sagen Vertriebserfolg drei- bis fünfmal besser voraus als Berufsjahre und unstrukturierte Bewertungen. Achievement Striving und Gewissenhaftigkeit sind die stabilsten Persönlichkeitsmerkmale – allgemeine Extraversion ist es nicht. Und weil Persönlichkeit über Jahre stabil bleibt, Skills aber in Monaten aufholbar sind, setzt du auf das Erste und trainierst das Zweite. Dein nächster Schritt Wer im Vertriebsrecruiting weiter auf Branchenjahre filtert, setzt auf das schlechteste verfügbare Kriterium. Wer auf Sales-Disposition baut und Wissen aufbaut, formt ein Team, das mit dem Markt mitwächst. Das ist eigentlich gar nicht schwer – du musst es nur konsequent machen. Wenn du Vertriebsmitarbeiter einstellen willst, ohne dich auf dein Bauchgefühl zu verlassen, fang heute mit einem Punkt an: Führe das strukturierte Telefon-Pre-Screening ein. Damit halbierst du deine Time-to-Hire und verdoppelst die Qualität deiner Pipeline. Du willst tiefer einsteigen? Schreib mir einfach eine E-Mail an recruiting@vertriebsfunk.de – dann bekommst du von mir die komplette Zusammenfassung dieser Folge und den Bewertungsbogen, den ich in meinen Vertriebsprojekten als Blaupause nutze. Beides schicke ich dir kostenlos zu. Gib alles, dein Christopher Funk. Welche Kriterien sollte ich beim Vertriebsmitarbeiter einstellen wirklich beachten? Setze auf das, was kaum trainierbar ist: Achievement Drive, Frustrationstoleranz, Neugier und geprüfte Past Sales Performance. Branchenjahre und Studienabschluss haben dagegen eine sehr geringe Vorhersagekraft auf Vertriebserfolg. Wie senke ich meine Fehlerquote im Vertriebsrecruiting? Indem du mehrere valide Werkzeuge kombinierst: strukturiertes Interview plus Arbeitsprobe plus geprüfte Past Performance. Das hebt die Treffsicherheit auf 0,60 bis 0,65 und drückt die Quote der Fehleinstellungen von rund 40 % auf unter 10 %. Ist Branchenerfahrung beim Verkäufer einstellen wichtig? Meistens nicht. Branchenerfahrung ist oft nur die Risiko-Versicherung des Recruiters. Wichtiger ist die Nähe von Buyer-Persona, Sales-Cycle, Komplexität und Entscheidungsstruktur. Ausnahmen sind hochregulierte Märkte wie Pharma, Medical Devices oder Aerospace. Worauf achte ich im Lebenslauf eines Vertrieblers? Auf Zahlen statt Adjektive: konkrete Quoten-Erreichung in Prozent, Ranking im Team, bezifferte Deal-Größen und Beförderungen. Red Flags sind „verantwortlich für" statt „erreicht", Worthülsen ohne Zahlen und Job-Hopping unter 18 Monaten. Welche Rolle spielt HR beim Aufbau eines guten Recruiting-Prozesses? HR ist der methodische Treiber, nicht der Briefträger. Die Personalabteilung baut den Prozess, liefert Interview-Leitfäden und Bewertungs-Skalen, sorgt für Geschwindigkeit und führt die Führungskraft sauber durch das Verfahren. Wie sieht es bei dir aus: Filterst du noch nach Branchenjahren – oder setzt du schon auf Sales-DNA? Schreib mir deine Erfahrungen in die Kommentare und teile den Beitrag mit dem Vertriebsleiter, der das gerade dringend lesen sollte.

More info on the website under the events tab. Okay.. our top story this week: XX Afrezza inhaled insulin is now approved for kids and teens. The FDA okayed MannKind's afrezza for children 6 and older with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. MannKind says its proprietary Technosphere drug delivery platform enables the rapid absorption of insulin into systemic circulation. This follows FDA approval earlier this year for an update that revises recommendations for the starting mealtime dosage when patients switch from subcutaneous mealtime insulin regimens. MannKind also completed enrollment in February for a study evaluating the initiation of Afrezza therapy shortly after type 1 diabetes diagnosis in pediatric patients.   The company said it made Afrezza available for eligible patients for $35 or less per month. Desmond Schatz, professor of pediatrics at the University of Florida College of Medicine, said: "Mealtime insulin can be especially challenging for children because eating and snacking patterns, activity levels, and daily settings like school and sports often vary. With its rapid onset and dosing at the start of a meal, Afrezza may help clinicians better match insulin therapy to how children and families live day to day, while offering a needle-free mealtime option." Lots more to come on this – we're working on a bonus episode with one of the pediatric endos who worked on the clinical trials that led to this approval – hopefully have that out later this week. https://www.massdevice.com/mannkind-fda-approval-inhaled-insulin-children/ XX FDA has agreed to consider a new drug for the treatment of adults with type 1 and chronic kidney disease. Finerenone (fy-near-uh-known) is currently approved in the US for adults with CKD associated with type 2 diabetes and for adults with heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction of 40% or greater. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is present in over one-third of adults with diabetes, and because it's such a serious condition, interventions are needed to reduce its incidence and help people live a long and prosperous life. https://www.docwirenews.com/post/fda-grants-priority-review-to-finerenone-snda-for-type-1-diabetes-associated-ckd XX Abbot gets European approval for the world's first dual glucose‑ketone sensing technology for people with diabetes. They're calling this Libre Duo and Libre Duo 10 Day, and it's designed to continuously measure glucose and ketone levels every minute. Abbott plans to begin launching Libre Duo systems in select European countries later this year. Libre Duo delivers up to 15 days of wear and will be offered to adults ages 18 and older. Libre Duo 10 Day offers up to 10 days of wear and is intended for people ages 2 and older. Abbott is also working with leading pump companies to allow automated insulin delivery (AID) systems to connect with the sensors. https://abbott.mediaroom.com/2026-05-27-Abbott-secures-CE-Mark-for-worlds-first-dual-glucose-ketone-sensing-technology-for-people-with-diabetes   XX Huge recall for Omnipod. Insulin says a manufacturing issue through ongoing product monitoring that could result in insulin under-delivery  with specific lots of its Omnipod 5, Dash and Eros pods. Insulet said the scope of this action reaches approximately 7 million pods. This issue is separate from the March recall that affected certain Omnipod 5 lots. According to the Acton, Massachusetts-based company, some of its affected pods may have a small tear in the tubing (cannula) just above the skin. This tear lands between the pod and the point where the cannula enters the body. If this occurs, insulin may leak outside of the device instead of being fully delivered into the body as intended. This may lead to under-delivery of the therapeutic.   Individuals using an affected pod may notice wetness on the skin or pod adhesive or detect the smell of insulin. However, some cases may prove difficult to detect and go unnoticed. Of the approximately 7 million pods included in the action, approximately 60% have been consumed or are expired. The pods affected by the correction represent approximately 8.5% of the 2025 global Omnipod pod prodcution. Insulet says it has sufficient supply to replace affected pods. It expects no disruption to product availability. The company said it has notified the FDA and all other relevant regulatory authorities of its action.   The full list of affected pod lots can be found here. https://www.massdevice.com/insulet-another-omnipod-5-recall-dash-eros/ XX Dexcom is warning that certain scrapped glucose sensors have been stolen and resold. Dexcom said it has not received any reports of severe adverse events associated with the stolen product. One lot of scrapped devices carries a risk of infection for sensors that are not properly sterilized, and another lot had an elevated internal testing failure rate, meaning users would have an increased risk of having no sensor readings available. Dexcom said the affected sensors were stolen during the destruction process and then sold by third parties. The company routinely scraps sensors that do not meet its standards. The sensors are sent to a third-party vendor for destruction and recycling.   Dexcom said it traced sales of the stolen devices to Pharmsource, which is not an authorized Dexcom distributor but supplies some independent pharmacies and U.S. durable medical equipment distributors. Because of this, pharmacies that purchase products from Pharmsource should review their inventory, Dexcom said.   People with sensors from the affected lots should not use those sensors and can call customer support to request replacements. Dexcom has set up a website to help users check if their devices are affected. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/dexcom-warns-of-scrapped-glucose-sensors-being-resold/821139/ XX XX   Beta Bionics plans to debut its first insulin patch pump by the end of the second quarter of 2027, subject to Food and Drug Administration clearance. The device, called Mint, would be compatible with Beta Bionics' interoperable automated glycemic controller, a software that allows for the pump to automatically adjust insulin delivery based on readings from a glucose sensor. Beta Bionics first unveiled the prototype for Mint last year at the American Diabetes Association's Scientific Sessions. The device is expected to have a similar size and wear time, at three days, to Insulet's patch pumps on the market. It would have a 200-unit insulin reservoir.   Mint differs by containing a mix of reusable and disposable components. Beta Bionics plans to make the device exclusively available in the pharmacy channel, building on its existing agreements for its current iLet insulin pump. Beta Bionics is one of several diabetes tech companies developing patch pumps to compete with market leader Insulet. Tandem Diabetes Care and Medtronic spinoff MiniMed have also announced planned patch pumps. Tandem said it plans to file a 510(k) submission this quarter for a tubeless version of its small, durable pump, and Medtronic plans to submit its patch pump to the FDA this fall.   https://www.medtechdive.com/news/beta-bionics-to-launch-its-first-insulin-patch-pump-to-compete-with-insulet/821091/ XX CVS puts Zepbound back on it's coverage list – with it's Caremark PBM. They also added Foundayo, Lilly's obesity pill. CVS had dropped Lilly's Zepound last summer but kept competitor Wegovy. It'll be back at Caremark October first. All three of the nation's largest pharmacy ⁠benefit managers ​now cover Lilly's full obesity medicine portfolio. https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/cvs-brings-back-coverage-lillys-obesity-drug-zepbound-2026-05-28/   More to come, including a new benefit from metformin for women, something new from Tidepool, big news for T1D in Austalia and more.. XX A new study suggests that higher long-term exposure to food colouring additives — including both synthetic and natural colourings commonly found in processed foods and beverages — may be associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Researchers analyzed data from more than 108,000 adults in the French NutriNet-Santé cohort between 2009 and 2023, following participants for a median of just over eight years. During that time, 1,131 participants developed type 2 diabetes. The study found that people with the highest intake of total food colouring additives had a 38% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared with non- or low-consumers.   Several specific additives were linked to increased risk, including caramel colouring additives such as total caramel (E150 family), plain caramel (E150a), sulphite ammonia caramel (E150d), and beta-carotene (E160a). Additional associations were observed for curcumin (E100), anthocyanins (E163), paprika extract (E160c), lutein (E161b), and cochineal-derived colourings (E120). "Our findings revealed positive associations between widely consumed food colouring additives and type 2 diabetes incidence," the authors wrote, adding that further research is needed to better understand the mechanisms behind the findings and whether food colouring regulations should be reevaluated. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/use-common-food-colours-tied-high-type-2-diabetes-risk-2026a1000hes XX Big news for Australia – their Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approves Tzield. Tzield is now approved in Australia to delay the onset of stage 3 (or clinical) T1D in people aged eight years and older with stage 2 T1D – the early, pre-symptomatic stage of the condition, where changes in blood glucose levels have begun but insulin therapy is not yet required. Breakthrough T1D Australia Chief Executive Officer, Sydney Yovic, said the approval represented a transformational moment for Australians affected by T1D. https://newshub.medianet.com.au/2026/05/landmark-approval-of-tzield-in-australia-ushers-in-a-new-era-of-delay-for-type-1-diabetes/155036/ XX https://www.theatlantic.com/health/2026/05/diabetes-pregnancy/687324/ XX A common diabetes drug may hold great potential to help with aging, even if scientists aren't exactly sure why. According to a study, the drug metformin doesn't just help patients to effectively manage their type 2 diabetes. it may also give older women a better chance of living to 90. Scientists in the US and Germany used data from a long-term US study of postmenopausal women.   Records for a total of 438 people were selected – half of whom took metformin to treat diabetes, and half of whom took a different diabetes drug, sulfonylurea.   While there are some caveats and asterisks to the study, those in the metformin group were calculated to have a 30 percent lower risk of dying before the age of 90 than those in the sulfonylurea group. The study used age 90 as the marker for 'exceptional' longevity. However, scientists aren't yet sure that the drug extends lifespan, especially in humans – which is part of the reason for this study. RCTs could follow further down the line to dig deeper into these results, the researchers suggest. In the meantime, as the global population continues to skew older, studies continue to find ways to keep us healthier for longer and reduce damage to the body as we age. https://www.sciencealert.com/a-common-diabetes-drug-is-linked-with-exceptional-longevity-in-women XX The American Diabetes Association® (ADA) will host the 2026 Scientific Sessions from June 5-8 in New Orleans. The ADA's Scientific Sessions is the world's largest diabetes meeting, convening an expected audience of over 12,000 leading physicians, scientists, researchers, and healthcare professionals from around the globe. The premier diabetes meeting, which is also offered virtually, will feature the latest scientific findings in diabetes and obesity, where leading experts and peers will share findings in research for prevention, care, and cures at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. Key themes will include: Advancing obesity and metabolic health: Prevention, early detection, and disease modification: Improving cardiometabolic outcomes: Transforming care through innovation and access: New research will highlight how technology, artificial intelligence, and implementation strategies are reshaping diabetes care—reducing treatment burden, expanding access, and enabling more person-centered care. Advancing beta cell replacement and cure strategies: Fostering innovation: On Saturday, June 6, from 4:30-6:00 p.m., the Innovation Challenge, which debuted in 2023, invites emerging companies to pitch novel ideas to improve the lives of people living with diabetes. A panel of judges, with input from a live audience, determines which contestants will earn a private audience with potential funders. XX Tidepool, the nonprofit leader advancing innovation in diabetes technology, announced that Tidepool+ Direct Connect is now available through the Epic Showroom.

Silicon solar is approaching a hard physical efficiency ceiling at 30%. Perovskite tandem solar is the only proven path through it. Joel Jean, CEO of Swift Solar, explains the technology, what the Meyer Burger acquisition brings, and where tandems sit on the road to commercial scale.After seven decades, silicon solar is closing in on its physical efficiency limit, and no previous thin-film technology has been able to outperform it at competitive cost. Joel Jean, CEO and co-founder of Swift Solar, a tandem PV manufacturer based in California, joined Tim Montague on the Clean Power Hour to explain why perovskite-silicon tandems are different and how Swift is building toward commercial scale. Jean explains how Swift's approach of vertically integrating perovskite and silicon at the cell level differs from other tandem strategies, and what certifications and milestones a new module technology must clear before utility buyers and independent engineers will finance it. The conversation also covers the US position in the global solar race, perovskite degradation and lead-content concerns, and what a consistent industrial policy would mean for US solar manufacturers.Here is what you will learn in this conversation about perovskite tandem solar and the path to next-generation module efficiency:You'll understand why silicon solar cells are physically limited to around 30% efficiency, and how stacking a perovskite layer on silicon creates a two-junction cell with a path to 35-40%, with three junctions pushing toward 45% or more.Find out what Swift Solar gains from the Meyer Burger acquisition: a heterojunction product with 0.2% annual degradation, the lowest rate in the industry, and a bankable product to serve customers while the tandem completes its certification and field-proof timeline.Learn why Swift's approach of integrating perovskite and silicon at the cell level differs from other tandem strategies, including four-terminal approaches where perovskite is deposited on glass and stacked on a separate module.You'll hear Tim push back on two common concerns about perovskites: degradation and lead content. Joel explains Swift's cell-level stability progress and why perovskite panels contain less lead per square meter than the solder in a standard silicon module.With China installing solar 8.5 times faster than the US and having spent 15-20 years building a manufacturing and policy foundation, the US is still trying to rebuild. The window for US tandem solar companies to establish a position is narrowing. Swift Solar's acquisition of Meyer Burger assets is one of the few cases where a US perovskite tandem startup enters the market with a proven, bankable product already generating field data, rather than waiting years for the tandem to reach certification. For solar professionals evaluating next-generation module technology and investors tracking the US manufacturing pipeline, this conversation gives a clear picture of where tandem technology stands today and what the next two to three years need to deliver.Connect with Joel Jean, Swift Solar LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joeljean/Swift Solar: https://www.swiftsolar.com/ Support the showConnect with Tim  Clean Power Hour  Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

Schedule a free discovery call. https://marriedentrepreneur.co/lets-talk In this milestone 250th episode of Thriving in Tandem, Robert and Kay Lee Fukui pull back the curtain on one of the biggest transitions of their marriage and business journey: leaving California and relocating across the country to the Lake Norman area outside of Charlotte, North Carolina. As they record from Dallas during their cross-country road trip, they share the emotions, uncertainty, and real-time stress of making a life-changing move while still trying to protect their marriage, peace, and vision. This episode dives into the reality of "moving without a plan"—not because they lacked vision, but because many details were still unfolding in real time. Robert and Kay Lee discuss how a shared long-term vision helped them navigate one of life's greatest stressors without turning against each other. They unpack the importance of testing major decisions over time, communicating honestly during stressful moments, creating backup plans, and refusing to let uncertainty create division in their marriage. For married entrepreneurs, this conversation is a powerful reminder that growth often requires discomfort. Whether you're making a major move, navigating business uncertainty, or stepping into a new season of life, success isn't about having every detail perfectly figured out. It's about staying united, keeping your peace, and moving forward together even when the path ahead isn't fully clear. Key Takeaways Celebrating the milestone of 250 podcast episodes while entering a major life transition Why having a shared vision is critical during stressful seasons of marriage and business How testing major life decisions over time can strengthen confidence and unity The emotional and practical realities of uprooting your life and moving across the country How stress can either divide a couple or make them stronger together Why moving forward imperfectly is often better than waiting for the "perfect plan" The importance of protecting your peace and supporting your spouse during uncertainty

Es ist wie eine Szene aus einem Film: Zwei Mädchen aus Malchow steigen in den 80er Jahren in den Zug nach Plauen im Vogtland, um da ihr Studium zu beginnen. Bepackt bis oben hin, Koffer, Taschen und: ein selbstgebautes Tandem. Und als wäre das noch nicht genug, sehen die beiden auch noch exakt gleich aus, sind gleich gekleidet, gleiche Frisur, denn: sie sind Zwillinge. Das ist aber keine Geschichte, die sich jemand ausgedacht hat, das ist eine Szene aus dem Leben von Wiebke und Agnes Bruhn aus Malchow. Die beiden haben im Teppichwerk in Malchow gelernt und dann in Plauen Textildesign studiert. Wie es die Teppiche von Wiebke und Agnes Bruhn zu DDR-Zeiten durch die Mauer bis nach Hannover geschafft haben, warum ein Museum ihnen zu den schönsten Jahren ihres Berufslebens verholfen hat und was die beiden heute machen, das haben sie Reporter Thomas Lenz für unsere Klönkist erzählt.

In this episode, Phil Schiller and Erik Dondzila share their entertaining experience racing Iceman Cometh Challenge on a tandem - and Dan Frayer from West Michigan Mountain Bike Alliance explains how the Yankee Springs Time Trial helps contribute annually to the West Michigan mountain bike trail system.

Learn more about everything at our home page www.diabetes-connections.com  Okay.. our top story this week: XX The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Tzield (teplizumab-mzwv) for use in children in stage 2 type 1 diabetes (T1D) ages one and older. The approval expands the previous indication from those aged eight and above and was granted under a priority review process. This decision is supported by one-year data from the PETITE-T1D Phase IV study, which evaluated the safety and pharmacokinetics of Tzield in children under eight years old. Tzield was approved for use in individuals 8+ in stage 2 T1D in 2022. Since then, we have been working to expand the eligible population. This expansion effort includes individuals in stage 3 T1D, who can preserve endogenous insulin production for longer when they take Tzield and, most notably today, children in stage 2. https://www.breakthrought1d.org/news-and-updates/tzield-approved-for-children-ages-one-and-older-in-stage-2-t1d/   XX Big write up in the journal Pediatrics about screening for type 1. Citing the 2025 ADA Standards of Care in Diabetes, the opinion piece talks about how to engage the greater healthcare community.  It says: We aim to encourage the development of strategies to emphasize the importance of T1D early detection, integrate screening into routine health care encounters, and support implementation of T1D screening. Pediatricians and other primary care clinicians are well positioned for greater collaboration with the multidisciplinary team, ensuring early detection, timely intervention, and improved outcomes. https://publications.aap.org/pediatricsopenscience/article/2/2/1/207272/Type-1-Diabetes-Screening-in-Pediatrics-Putting?autologincheck=redirected   XX More info about GLP-1 drugs and people with type 1. New study shows off label use did not lead to DKA or pancreatitis in a large 1-year single-center study. Moreover, GLP-1 agonist use in people with T1D was associated with lower overall rates of hospitalization, as has occurred in type 2 diabetes Although GLP-1 agonists are not approved by the FDA for T1D management, off-label adjunctive use has risen for those with obesity. Semaglutide was the most commonly-used GLP-1 (65.5% of GLP-1 users) followed by tirzepatide (23.5%). The rest were using the older-generation drugs: liraglutide or dulaglutide. Lots more information to come on type 1 and glp 1-s in upcoming studies. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/use-glp-1s-type-1-diabetes-not-linked-increased-dka-2026a1000d56 XX Health Canada ‌​has approved the first generic ​version of ​Danish ⁠drugmaker ⁠Novo ‌Nordisk's Ozempic drug. In January 2026, the Canadian patent for Ozempic will expire, paving the way for cheap generic versions of the semaglutide injections that help regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. Health Canada said this generic, like existing products, is indicated to be used for the "once-weekly treatment of adult patients with Type 2 diabetes to manage blood sugar levels." With three generics on the market, Tadrous said the price could drop to about $100 or less, depending on their dose. Health Canada said it's currently reviewing eight other generic submissions by different companies and expects to make a decision on these in the next few weeks and months. https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/ozempic-generic-health-canada-9.7180566 XX  Insulet has enrolled the first participant in a pivotal study for its fully closed-loop (FCL)A automated insulin delivery (AID) system for type 2 diabetes (T2D  The participants are between 18 – 75 years of age, living with T2D and using insulin (basal-bolus or basal-only). The Company received Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) approval in March 2026 from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Company plans to submit a 510(k) filing to the FDA in 2027 and launch its FCL AID system for T2D in 2028.   XX insulet Corporation (PODD) has initiated a voluntary recall of certain lots of its Omnipod 5 insulin delivery Pods in the U.S. after detecting that some devices had a manufacturing defect that causes insulin leakage.   Patients using the affected devices could risk experiencing high blood glucose levels due to insufficient insulin delivery, the Acton, Massachusetts-based MedTech disclosed in a statement late Thursday. The company has already notified the FDA about the recall, which it said will affect nearly 1.5% of Omnipod 5 pod units it manufactures annually. The customers were advised to immediately seek a product replacement at no cost if a Pod from a defective lot is currently in use. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/insulet-recalling-certain-defective-omnipod-insulin-delivery-devices/ar-AA1YyslT?apiversion=v2&domshim=1&noservercache=1&noservertelemetry=1&batchservertelemetry=1&renderwebcomponents=1&wcseo=1&bundles=feat-es2020-c XX Tandem Diabetes Care (Nasdaq:TNDM) gets FDA clearance for its automated insulin delivery (AID) technology for use in pregnancy. The FDA cleared the company's Control-IQ AID technology for use in what they call: pregnancy complicated by type 1 diabetes mellitus. Tandem says t:slim X2 and Mobi are the first and only commercially available AID systems cleared for use during pregnancy in the U.S. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/tandem-fda-clearance-aid-pregnancy-t1d/ XX Tandem also issued an urgent medical device correction for a software problem with its Mobi insulin pumps. The malfunction may cause insulin delivery to stop, causing high blood sugar if not addressed, the Food and Drug Administration said in a Wednesday recall notice. We told you about this back in October when Tandem sent a letter to customers notifying them of the fault and instructing them to update their pump software as soon as possible. The FDA now issued a class one recall, the most serious type. We just released a bonus episode all about Tanem – tubeless mobi and what else is in the pipeline. You can listen to that wherever you are listening to this.. it's the episode just before this one. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/tandem-recalls-mobi-insulin-pumps-over-software-malfunction/818260/   XX Switching CGMs didn't make a measurable difference for adults using MiniMed's pump system. In a real-world analysis presented at the International Conference on Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes, researchers found that CGM metrics for patients who switched from the Guardian 4 sensor (MiniMed) to Instinct by Abbott were able to maintain a time in range of greater than 75%. "When it comes to the automated insulin delivery system ... I think the sensor matters less and the system matters more," Viral N. Shah, MD, professor of medicine in the division of endocrinology and metabolism and director of diabetes clinical research at Indiana University Center for Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases, said during a presentation. "Having a different sensor with the system, I think the [glycemic] outcomes will still be what you want." I'm including this because the headline here seemed to indicate no CGM makes a difference, but this study only looked at two. https://www.healio.com/news/endocrinology/20260401/switching-cgm-sensors-does-not-impact-glycemic-outcomes-with-automated-insulin-delivery   XX Vitamin D supplementation may help delay or prevent disease progression in people with prediabetes.. in people who have specific variants in their vitamin D receptor gene. This was found after a second look at large study where researchers found vitamin d really did make a difference.. a second look with people who had a specific gene variation had much better results. "More research is needed to see if there are other factors that are associated with risk reduction." https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/vitamin-d-supplements-help-prevent-type-2-diabetes-right-gene-variants   XX Senseonics (Nasdaq:SENS) announced today that it initiated the first European launch of its Eversense 365 continuous glucose monitor (CGM). The launch comes a few months after the company picked up CE mark for the long-term, implantable CGM in January. Eversense 365 is the world's first 365-day CGM system. It also holds clearance as an integrated CGM (iCGM) system, meaning it can work with compatible medical devices. Those include insulin pumps as part of automated insulin delivery systems, like the Sequel Med Tech twiist system. The company said it made Eversense 365 available to the first patients in Sweden. It plans to bring the sensor to Germany, Spain and Italy in the coming weeks https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/senseonics-launches-eversense-365-europe/ XX A machine learning model can improve genetic prediction of type 1 diabetes by as much as 10%, show results from a University of California, San Diego study.   The researchers used the machine‑learning model T1GRS to improve on a gold standard polygenic genetic risk score used to predict who is likely to develop the condition called GRS2. The GRS2 polygenic risk score has been widely tested and can be used to predict newborns who are at high risk of developing type 1 diabetes. While early prediction can't necessarily stop the disease it can help to prevent emergencies like diabetic ketoacidosis at diagnosis, allow families time to prepare and could allow use of therapies to delay onset of the condition. In this study, Gaulton and colleagues carried out a genome‑wide association study in 20,355 people with type 1 diabetes and 797,363 non‑diabetic Europeans, as well as a further analysis around the MHC region in 10,107 diabetic and 19,639 nondiabetic individuals. https://www.insideprecisionmedicine.com/topics/molecular-dx/machine-learning-tool-helps-improve-type-1-diabetes-prediction/ XX Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) said Monday that he will return to the upper chamber this week after taking time off for the death of his daughter, Madison.   The Virginia senator wrote on the social platform X, "As we remember our incredible daughter, Maddy, my family has been deeply touched by the outpouring of support we've received. Thank you to everyone for your kind words." Madison Warner, 36, died earlier this month after a decades-long battle with juvenile diabetes and other health issues. Mark Warner and his wife, Lisa Collis, wrote in a statement last Monday that they were "heartbroken beyond words" by their daughter's passing.   On Monday, the former Virginia governor said his daughter "was a deeply empathetic and engaged person" and that "as recently as the day she passed, she was full of ideas and suggestions" for him, including how he could improve his social media presence.   "She used to say to me: 'Dad, you have the power — you have to use it.' She pushed me to make the most of my position, to use my seat in the Senate to help people in meaningful ways," he added.       "If I can find any solace during this time, it's that I have the enormous privilege to serve Virginians and the responsibility to keep working for a better, more just world in Maddy's name."   Warner concluded, "I look forward to returning to the Senate this week and continuing that essential work."   Madison Warner is survived by two younger sisters.     An estimated than 2.1 million Americans, including about 314,000 children and adolescents younger than age 20, have diagnosed type 1 diabetes as of March — which is what juvenile diabetes is commonly called — according to the CDC's National Diabetes Statistics Report.   An estimated 11 million U.S. adults have undiagnosed diabetes, the report notes.   Symptoms of type 1 diabetes include feeling more thirsty than usual, urinating a lot, bed-wetting in children who have never done so, feeling very hungry and losing weight without trying, according to the Mayo Clinic. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5851605-mark-warner-diabetes-death/ XX Mattel, Inc. and Breakthrough T1D just won a Gold Halo Award for Best Cause Product Initiative for the launch of the first Barbie with T1D.  The Halo Awards recognize the most outstanding corporate social impact efforts over the past year.

Financial freedom is often painted as the ultimate goal for entrepreneurs—but what happens when you actually reach it? In this episode, Robert and Kay Lee Fukui sit down with Mike and Carolyn Neubauer to unpack the real story behind building wealth together as a married couple. From humble beginnings—him as a firefighter and her as a stay-at-home mom—they share how they transitioned from trading time for money to creating a life centered on freedom, flexibility, and family. But their journey wasn't smooth. Their first real estate investment nearly strained both their marriage and sanity, forcing them to confront misaligned expectations, communication gaps, and the true cost of "success." What makes this conversation powerful is how quickly it moves beyond tactics and into what actually matters. The Neubauers reveal that financial freedom isn't about hitting a number—it's about aligning your life with your values. Through trial and error, they learned how to define a shared vision, stay in their respective strengths, and build systems that supported both their business and their marriage. Instead of chasing scale at all costs, they chose intentional growth, prioritizing time, peace, and relationships over maximum profit. For married entrepreneurs, this episode is both a wake-up call and a roadmap. You'll hear why chasing more money can quietly sabotage your home life, how to avoid common investment mistakes, and why true freedom is measured in choices—not dollars. If you've ever felt torn between growing your business and being present at home, this conversation will help you rethink what winning actually looks like. Website/podcast: https://ourfamilyinvests.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/ourfamilyinvests/ Key Takeaways Financial freedom isn't about money—it's about control of your time True wealth is the ability to choose how, when, and with whom you spend your life. Your first investment will test more than your finances—it will test your marriage Miscommunication, stress, and unclear roles can quickly create tension if you're not aligned. Vision must be shared and specific A vague desire for "freedom" isn't enough—clear goals, timelines, and expectations are what unify couples. Play to your strengths as a couple One leads execution, the other strengthens relationships and long-term thinking—both are critical. Peace is often more valuable than profit Hiring help (even at a cost) can buy back time, reduce stress, and improve your relationship. Don't just invest in deals—invest in people The operator behind the opportunity matters more than the numbers on paper. You don't need to scale fast to win Intentional growth that aligns with your values leads to a more sustainable and fulfilling life. Freedom is living life on your terms today—not someday Waiting until "later" to enjoy your family defeats the purpose of building wealth in the first place. Mike and Caroline Neubauer Mike and Caroline Neubauer went from broke, exhausted, and trading time for just enough to get by… to financially free, working on only things that light them up, and raising their son while investing across multiple markets. They didn't do it with a trust fund or a tech exit. Mike was a full-time firefighter on Maui. Caroline was a stay-at-home mom. Their first move into real estate investing was a leap of faith, a spreadsheet, and a whole lot of YouTube. But once they went all in, that one deal kicked off a five-year sprint to financial freedom. Today, their portfolio spans short-term, mid-term, and long-term rentals, private lending, and passive investments across multiple states.

The Art of the Long Ride

The Drive played what Adam Schefter had to say on NFL Live about how the Chiefs will be using the their top picks in unison.

In this episode of Thriving in Tandem, Robert and Kay Lee Fukui unpack one of the most overlooked drivers of business success—and one that directly impacts your marriage, time, and overall fulfillment: company culture. While most entrepreneurs obsess over sales, marketing, and profit margins, they often treat culture as a "nice to have." But as they reveal, culture is not soft—it's strategic. It determines whether your business feels energizing or draining, whether your team thrives or turns over, and ultimately whether your business supports your life…or consumes it. Drawing from real-world experience, they share how a strong, healthy culture can outperform higher salaries when it comes to retaining great people. Employees don't just leave for money—they leave because of their daily experience. When leaders prioritize trust, respect, and alignment, teams stay longer, perform better, and create an environment where everyone actually enjoys showing up. For married entrepreneurs, this becomes even more critical—because a dysfunctional team doesn't just hurt the business, it follows you home. The conversation goes deeper into the hard leadership decisions most business owners avoid—especially when it comes to dealing with toxic team members. One wrong person can quietly erode morale, productivity, and trust. And while letting someone go is never easy, failing to act can cost far more—in your profits, your team, and your peace of mind. The takeaway is clear: when you build and protect a healthy culture, you don't just grow a better business—you create the freedom, balance, and clarity needed to win at both business and marriage. Key Takeaways: Culture is your most undervalued asset – It directly impacts profitability, retention, and enjoyment of your business. People don't leave just for money – They leave because of poor culture, leadership, or work environment. One person can make or break your team – Especially in small businesses, a single toxic employee can derail everything. Hire for values, not just skill – Skills can be trained; integrity, character, and work ethic are much harder to develop. Pay attention to what you feel – Culture is often sensed before it's measured—trust your instincts as a leader. Avoiding hard decisions is costly – Keeping the wrong person hurts morale, productivity, and ultimately your bottom line. Healthy culture fuels business AND marriage – When your team runs well, you reclaim time, energy, and presence at home.

Coach Lindsey has lived with Type 1 Diabetes for 19 years and has been coaching with Risely for over two years. Lindsay was already a health coach in her primary role when she came to Risely as a client. She came through our group coaching program, found her footing with her own diabetes management, and knew she wanted to bring that same support to others. After completing the program, she went on to earn her National Board Certification in coaching and trained under the Risely team before officially joining as a coach. She now works with clients through the exact challenges she once navigated herself, which makes her one of the most grounded voices on what it actually takes to move from reactive management to intentional decision-making with T1D.In this episode, Lauren and Lindsey dig into the Tandem pump features that many T1D's either don't know exist or don't know how to use to their full advantage. They cover the features most people are only using at surface level (Control IQ, sleep mode, exercise mode, temp basal, and extended bolus) and share the real-life context behind when and why to use each one. The conversation is honest about the fact that none of these are one-size-fits-all, and that getting to a place where these tools feel second nature takes time, pattern recognition, and a willingness to test and learn.WHAT WE COVER:The biggest gaps we see when people are using pumps but not actually optimizing themHow to think about your pump as a tool you can adjust, not something that controls youThe difference between reacting to your numbers and making intentional decisionsWhat Control IQ is actually doing in the background, including correction limits most Tandem users aren't aware ofHow to use exercise mode and sleep mode beyond their intended use to help prevent highs and lowsWHAT'S NEXT:

Schedule a free discovery call. https://marriedentrepreneur.co/lets-talk Many entrepreneurs believe that the key to better performance is simply working harder and longer. But what if the real secret to creativity, clarity, and better decisions is actually learning when to stop working? In this episode of Thriving in Tandem, Robert and Kay Lee Fukui explore the science behind rest and why stepping away from work can dramatically improve both business performance and relationships at home. The conversation centers around a fascinating concept from neuroscience called the Default Mode Network (DMN)—a state your brain enters when you're not actively focused on a task. While the "Task Positive Network" drives focus and execution, the DMN is where creativity, reflection, emotional processing, and big-picture thinking happen. Robert and Kay Lee explain why many entrepreneurs stay stuck in constant "task mode," and how that constant pressure can actually limit innovation, narrow perspective, and increase stress. Through personal stories, client examples, and practical ideas—from walks in nature to date nights and simple moments of fun—they show how intentional rest helps entrepreneurs think more strategically, reconnect with their spouse, and regain the creativity needed to grow their business. When you build rhythms of rest into your life, you don't just become a better leader—you become a better spouse and parent as well. Key Takeaways Your brain operates in two key modes: the Task Positive Network (focus and execution) and the Default Mode Network (creativity and reflection). Constant work reduces creativity. When entrepreneurs stay stuck in task mode, their perspective narrows and innovation declines. Rest isn't laziness—it's strategic. Activities like walking, hobbies, nature, and fun moments activate the brain's creative pathways. Stress blocks creativity. High levels of pressure—like financial strain or constant workload—can prevent entrepreneurs from accessing their most creative thinking. Many breakthrough ideas come during downtime. Showers, walks, or quiet moments often trigger your best insights. Intentional breaks improve performance. High-performing leaders regularly schedule time for rest, exercise, prayer, or reflection. Disconnecting strengthens relationships. Being present with your spouse and family creates emotional health and unity at home. Rest creates space for vision. Moments away from work help couples dream, strategize, and align around their future together. Speaking stress out loud reduces its power. Processing fears and concerns together prevents them from building internally. Thriving in business and marriage requires rhythm. Building intentional rest into your routine allows you to perform better in both.

In 2018, at 24 years of age, Luke Grenfell-Shaw was given a stage 4 cancer diagnosis and told he had months to live. Within weeks, he also lost his brother John in a freak accident. Most people would have pulled the covers up. Luke signed up for a half marathon, hopped on a stationary bike in the hospital ward, and started planning to cycle from Bristol to Beijing.On 1 January 2020, Luke set off on a tandem bike. Over the next few years he rode 32,000 kilometres through 30 countries, with more than 800 different people taking a turn on the back seat. Some were strangers he met on the road. Some were friends and family. One was a puppy named Tarzan. The ride became the award-winning documentary A Life in Tandem, which you should watch immediately after listening to this episode.In this episode we talk about:- What it feels like to be diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at 24- Why Luke chose a tandem over a solo bike and what that decision changed- The science behind exercise during chemotherapy and what the research now says- Dev, the Indian man who turned up in jeans, hadn't ridden in three years, and became Luke's longest-serving stoker- The brake failure at 50mph on a Kyrgyzstan mountain pass that ended in a medical clinic - Tarzan the puppy of Uzbekistan (fate: unknown but probably fine)- The post-adventure blues, identity after big goals, and what it means to turn 32 when you once didn't expect to see it- Luke's definition of a 'canliver' and why he prefers it to 'cancer survivor'- What it means to be a professional trail runner representing Great Britain, and what comes nextLuke Grenfell-Shaw is a professional trail runner representing Great Britain, adventurer, filmmaker, and speaker.

Caleb talks with Brad and Tammy Miller, the founders of Tandem Marriage. Drawing from their experience running a seven-figure counseling practice and their own 41-year marriage, the Millers discuss how professional success can lead to a "slow drift" that distances spouses. They emphasize that high-achieving business owners often fall into a "provider trap," mistakenly believing financial stability is the only way to show love while neglecting emotional connection. To counter this, they advocate for extreme intentionality, urging couples to remain curious about one another and prioritize their relationship as a unified team. The episode highlights various resources available at tandemarriage.com, including a video toolbox and mentorship advice, to help couples move from a mediocre marriage to a thriving one. Key Takeaways: Commit to being intentional in your relationship every day to prevent the natural "slow drift" that occurs when life and business become overwhelming. Prioritize a loving relationship with your spouse as the greatest gift you can give your children, providing them with a foundation of security and a healthy model for their own lives. Develop self-awareness during conflicts by pausing to ask yourself if there is any truth in what your spouse is saying before you react defensively. Ensure that your role as a financial provider never usurps your responsibility to be an emotionally present and supportive partner at home. Regularly seek outside guidance through mentors, coaching, or educational resources to keep your marriage thriving as you navigate different seasons of life and business.

Today, we're putting The Tonearm's needle on the Montreal jazz collective Bellbird.Bellbird formed during pandemic park jams and has since become one of the more compelling voices in Canada's avant-garde jazz scene. The quartet consists of Claire Devlin on tenor sax, Allison Burik on alto sax and bass clarinet, Eli Davidovici on bass, and Mili Hong on drums. No guitar, no piano, just three mostly single-note instruments and a drum kit, which turns out to be more than enough. Their debut, Root in Tandem, earned serious praise. Their second album, The Call, came out on February 6th on Constellation Records. It was built from bird sound transcriptions, Mary Oliver poems, and sessions in the countryside, and it doesn't sound like anything else on that storied label's roster.Two members of the collective, Claire Devlin and Eli Davidovici, are here to take us through the story.(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from Bellbird's album The Call)—Dig Deeper• Artist and Album:Visit Bellbird at bellbird.band and follow them on Instagram and YouTubePurchase Bellbird's The Call from Constellation Records, Bandcamp, or Qobuz, and listen on your streaming platform of choiceVisit Bellbird's page at Constellation Records• Individual Members:Claire Devlin — tenor saxophone; follow her on InstagramEli Davidovici — bassAllison Burik — alto saxophone and bass clarinet; follow them on InstagramMili Hong — drums; follow her on Instagram• Label:Constellation Records — Montréal's celebrated independent label, home to Godspeed You!

I'll see you there at the Breakthrough T1D summit this weekend. And we have two Club 1921 events for health care providers and patient leaders happening in April – head on over to the website for more. Okay.. our top story this week: XX Metformin may be linked to the slower progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Among people with diabetes who were older than 55, those taking metformin had a 37% lower chance of developing intermediate AMD over a five-year period compared with individuals who were not using the medication. It's one of the leading causes of vision loss in the US and many other western countries. These researchers now say a clinical trial is the next step. https://scitechdaily.com/scientists-discover-surprising-eye-benefit-of-widely-used-diabetes-drug/ XX new study suggests people with type 1 diabetes may be nearly three times as likely to develop dementia compared with people without diabetes. Similarly, people with type 2 diabetes may have roughly twice the risk of dementia compared with those without diabetes. However, the study found an association rather than proof of causation, meaning diabetes was linked to dementia risk but was not shown to directly cause it.   https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2026-03-19/both-types-of-diabetes-increase-dementia-risk XX Researchers in Japan say they've developed an insulin pill… in mice.  The study, published in the journal Molecular Pharmaceutics, tested the delivery of oral insulin by building a carrier peptide called DNP-V. This peptide helps to transport insulin through the small intestine, where protein drug absorption is usually poor. The result was a rapid and significant drop in blood glucose, as well as a sustained (longer-term) decrease. The mice's blood sugar was reduced to near-normal levels. Although the researchers are optimistic about the findings translating to larger therapeutic models, they noted that the results in mice do not guarantee the same outcome in humans, and that more research is needed. https://www.foxnews.com/health/needle-free-diabetes-management-could-horizon-study-suggests   XX   Lilly says it's next-generation obesity drug retatutride cleared its first late-stage trial on Type 2 diabetes patients. The drug lowered hemoglobin A1C by an average of 1.7% to 2% across different doses at 40 weeks compared with placebo, and helped patients lose an average of 16.8% of their weight. Retatrutide also met the study's second goal, helping patients at the highest dose lose an average of 16.8% of their weight, or 36.6 pounds, at 40 weeks, when evaluating only patients who stayed on the drug. When analyzing all participants, including those who discontinued treatment, the highest dose of the drug helped patients lose 15.3% of their weight. The company was also "very pleased" with the relatively low discontinuation rates due to side effects, which were up to 5%, he added. But Lilly has yet to file for approval of the drug for obesity or diabetes. The company expects to report findings from seven additional phase three trials on the drug by the end of the year. Still, retatrutide's A1C reduction doesn't appear to be the greatest Lilly has seen within its portfolio: The highest dose of Zepbound lowered the measure by more than 2% at 40 weeks in two separate trials on diabetes patients. Dubbed the "triple G" drug, retatrutide works by mimicking three hunger-regulating hormones – GLP-1, GIP and glucagon – rather than just one or two like existing treatments. That appears to have more potent effects on a person's appetite and satisfaction with food than other treatments.   https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/19/eli-lillys-obesity-drug-retatrutide-clears-late-stage-diabetes-trial.html XX   The MiniMed Flex gets FDA approval. Thi is a new design from the company formerly known as Medtronic. It's about half the size* of the MiniMed™ 780G pump, no screen – smartphone controlled – and has the SmartGuard™ algorithm with Meal Detection™ technolog. At commercial launch, MiniMed Flex™ will support the company's newest sensor portfolio, including Simplera Sync™ sensor and the Instinct sensor, made by Abbott. MiniMed also announced the MiniMed™ Forward Program, which allows customers who start on the MiniMed™ 780G system to upgrade to the MiniMed Flex™ system for $0. MiniMed Flex™ is cleared for individuals ages 7 and older with type 1 diabetes, and for individuals 18 years and older with insulin-requiring type 2 diabetes. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/minimed-announces-fda-clearance-of-minimed-flex-the-companys-smallest-insulin-pump-featuring-its-first-smartphone-controlled-design-302716864.html   XX Lots of new out of the recent ATTD conference.. some headlines: New study from the UK shows that Ketone Monitoring Could Significantly Reduce DKA Risks in people with type 1 and type 2. This was a study by Abbott which recently submitted a continuous dual glucose-ketone monitor to the FDA for clearance – if approved, it could be available in the U.S. later this year. -- The first modified insulin producing cells are still working 14 months after transplant – without the need for immunosuppressive drugs. This is from Sana which now plans a study of a new therapy.. same gene-editing strategy with lab-grown, stem-cell-derived insulin-producing cells. -- Protein looks like it helps avoid lows during exercise. Both high and low doses of whey protein before exercise were effective, significantly reducing the risk of hypoglycemia by five to 10 times.   Researchers noted that the body's response to protein was rapid (within 20 minutes), which suggests taking it close to the beginning of exercise could be beneficial for preventing hypoglycemia. Though more research is needed, there was also evidence showing protein intake could be beneficial for prolonged fasting and preventing overnight lows. -- More info about type 1 and GLP medications. Researchers at ATTD presented the results of a small, seven-month study assessing the effectiveness of semaglutide for people with type 1 diabetes and obesity. During the trial, 36% of participants taking semaglutide spent more than 70% of their time in range, less than 4% of their time below range, and lost more than 5% of their body weight compared to those not taking semaglutide.   Treatment with semaglutide was also associated with reductions in cholesterol and blood pressure. Based on all of these changes, the researchers calculated that the participants who received semaglutide had significantly reduced their risk of heart disease over the next 10 years.   Other studies show that since 2020, prescriptions of GLP-1 medications have grown exponentially for adults with type 1 diabetes between the ages of 18 and 85. https://diatribe.org/diabetes-research/top-diabetes-news-attd-2026   XX Lots of talk about fully closed loops.. CamDiab unveiled theirs.. called Liberty.. which the company says it's the world's first fully closed loop commercial launch. CamDiab offers the FDA-approved mylife CamAPS FX app for automating insulin delivery in MyLife's (formerly Ypsomed Diabetes Care's) insulin delivery pumps. The mylife CamAPS FX on iOS has full compatibility with leading continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). Those include the FreeStyle Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus from Abbott and the Dexcom G6 so customers can use their preferred device. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/camdiab-unveils-fully-closed-loop-insulin-feature/ XX Insulet reported data on a fully closed-loop automated insulin delivery system in people with Type 2 diabetes. The 24 people in the trial spent 24% more time in the target blood glucose range using the system than when receiving standard injection therapy. Insulet plans to start a pivotal study this year and aims to launch in 2028. Rival insulin pump manufacturer Tandem is on a similar course. Tandem CEO John Sheridan told investors on an earnings call last month that his team plans to start a pivotal trial this year to support a filing with the Food and Drug Administration in 2027. Medtronic disclosed the start of a pivotal trial of its Vivera fully closed-loop algorithm last month, shortly before spinning off the program as part of the MiniMed initial public offering. The algorithm, which is designed to eliminate carb counting and manual food bolusing, achieved a mean time in range of 73.8% without manual user input in a feasibility study.   https://www.medtechdive.com/news/insulet-posts-clinical-data-on-fully-closed-loop-insulin-delivery-system/814516/ XX Congrats to all honored by the 2026 National Scientific and Health Care Achievement Awards from the American Diabetes Association!
