Catherine, David and Matt discuss the start of the clay court season, headlined by victories for Jessica Pegula and Jenson Brooksby. Part one - WTA Results. Pegula shows her toughness and her variety to win the first clay court title of her career in Charleston over Sofia Kenin. We discuss her reascension to American number one and compare her career with players like Jelena Ostapenko and Sofia Kenin who have won a slam but don't have her consistency. Plus, Camila Osorio wins Bogota for the third time. Part two - ATP Results (from 30m). Brooskby saves match point in three different matches to win the first title of his career in Houston. We discuss his return to the tour, why we enjoy watching him play, and his final victory over Frances Tiafoe. There's also chat about Flavio Cobolli not only snapping his 8-match losing run, but doing so by winning the title in Bucharest. Part three - News (from 50m27s). Top players send a letter to the Grand Slams asking for more prize money, so what does that mean for the PTPA lawsuit? There's also change at the top of the ATP, Coco Gauff leaving Team8, and a look ahead to Monte Carlo and the Billie Jean King Cup qualifiers this week.

מנהיגות מבוססת אנשים ועשייה - הגישה הניהולית-אופרטיבית שמובילה את שרית פירון להצלחות   כבר בתור תלמידת חטיבה ברעננה, שרית ידעה לחשב כמה משכורות היא צריכה כדי להחזיר משכנתא. היא גדלה במשפחה שלא היה להביטחון כלכלי ולהורים ששניהם עבדו בעבודות ״צווארון כחול״. אך עצם העובדה שכן גדלה במרכז הארץ, יצרה אצלה כבר מגיל צעיר השוואתיות כלפי חוץ. שרית התמירה את נקודת הפתיחה שלה ליצירת כוח מניע ומוטיבציה פנימית חזקה. החרדה הכלכלית הקיומית הפכה למקור צמיחה ונטוורק משמעותיים שסייעו לה להתפתח מקצועית ולנהל את העליות והירידות בתחום ההשקעות היזמיות בצורה יציבה ומוכלת לאורך הקריירה שלה.   כבר מהילדות שרית פיתחה הבחנה חשובה בין מהן השקעות לעומת הוצאות, אשר מהווה מצפן עבורה בכל החלטה עסקית משמעותית שהיא עומדת בפניה. לאורך השיחה היה מעניין לשים לב כיצד ההתמודדות שלה בילדות גרמה לה לסגל גישה שבה התנהלות פיננסית אחראית היא הדרך הטובה ביותר להתנהל עם משברים. בזכות למידת המכונה הפנימית שלה, שרית יודעת כבר טוב מאוד איך להתנהל כאשר היא פוגשת משבר. בעיקר מעצם הגישה הייחודית לפיה, כל מורכבות היא אתגר שהיא מאוד שמחה להיענות אליו. שרית נוטה לראות את הצד החיובי של כל בעיה שמתעוררת, מכיוון שהיא מחזיקה חזק בהנאה שתרגיש מה - moment שיבוא אחרי.   הרגע הנכון להנפקה הנפקת חברה אכן מספקת לה חותמת משמעותית של מיתוג ממוסד ורציני, אך היכולת הפלקסבילית של החברה מצטמצמת בהכרח. בשיחה שרית העניקה נקודת מבט אישית ומקצועית על מהו הטיימינג הנכון ביותר להנפקת חברה. הניסיון  שצברה לאורך שנים בקרנות הון סיכון גרם לה להבין שהנפקה אפקטיבית יכולה להתרחש רק כאשר החברה עברה דרך משמעותית בהגשמת האסטרטגיה שלה, ובעלת בשלות יחסית גבוהה. שרית מתארת שתהליך זה גוזל הרבה מהמשאבים האופרטיביים של החברה וחשוב שלמנכ״ל תהיה יכולת לנהל בצורה מיטבית ומחושבת את המתח הזה.   ״בסוף החלטות טובות הן החלטות שקשורות לאנשים״ איך פועלים כאשר בנק ההשקעות שמלווה אתכם פושט רגל כאשר כבר התחלתם את תהליך ההנפקה?  זה קרה לשרית כאשר הובילה את חברת מדיה מיינד להנפקה בניו יורק, ופתאום הקרקע נשמטה לחברה מתחת לרגליה. אירוע חיצוני מאוד משמעותי, שאינו קשור לחברה אך משפיע עליה בצורה חזקה וישירה, לפתע מתרחש.   הגישה של שרית כאשר עומדים במצבים של חוסר יציבות, היא לבצע ניתוח קר ויבש של הסיטואציה ולתת מענה למה שצריך באותו הרגע. הם החליטו לקצץ 10% מהעובדים אך נתנו להם הארכה משמעותית של תקופת ה Exercise על מנת לתת להם הזדמנות ראויה לממש את האופציות שלהם במידה והחברה חוזרת להרוויח.   בפן המקצועי שרית אלופה בלאסוף דאטה ואנליזה ולקבל החלטות טובות בהתאם, אך היא גם משתפת שלצד השני והאנושי של ההחלטות אין דאטה. צריך להבין מה מניע אנשים, מה מתסכל אותם, איך רותמים אותם וגורמים להם גם שיהיה להם אינטרס לטובת החברה וגם שיהיה להם טוב. שרית יודעת שהאירועים החיצוניים ימשיכו לקרות תמיד, אך היא שכדי להתמודד איתם בצורה הטובה ביותר - צריך את האנשים הטובים שעובדים טוב ביחד. לדעת שרית מנהל צריך להיות עם soft skills ולהיות קודם כל אנושי, ואם לא מתחשבים בהיבטים פרסונליים זה עלול להוביל לכישלון.   The Moment היום שרית מסתכלת על עצמה ממרחק ויודעת שהיא הובילה עשרות תהליכים עסקיים משמעותיים. בזכות הליווי והמנטורינג שלה בחברת דאטורמה, החברה  ביצעה גיוס משמעותי של 900,000 דולר כשעוד היו בשלב הסיד וב-2018 ביצעו את האקזיט הגדול ביותר בארץ בשנה הזאת. שרית הבינה שזה הרגע שלה להנפקה של עצמה. היא יודעת מה הערך של עצמה ורצתה להמשיך לתת את הערך שלה בצורה מדויקת עבור עצמה.    מהרגע הזה החליטה לצאת לדרך עצמאית והבינה כי השילוב המנצח של קרן הון סיכון הוא להעניק גם מימון מקרן מוכרת וחזקה וגם hands on experience. זוהי המהות והחזון שלה כמייסדת Team8 Capital, זרוע ההון סיכון של Team8. המסקנה שלה מהדרך המיוחדת שלה היא Trust the process, וזה מסר שלא תמיד קל להתחבר אליו בעולם היזמי למרות שהוא לרוב תמיד מוכיח את עצמו מחדש. בסוף הדלתות מסתובבות לאן שאנחנו צריכים להגיע. אך החוויה שלנו בדרך לשם יכולה להיות יותר קלה עבורנו כאשר נדע לשים בפרופורציות את המכשולים והכשלונות ולהבין שנצא מהם בסוף מפוקחים ומחוזקים יותר.   הדרך המיוחדת של שרית היא עדות לצמיחה מתוך נקודת פתיחה לא קלה, לקור רוח לצד אנושיות ולגיבוש החזון שלה מעצם ההליכה בדרך מלאה מורכבויות ועד לרגע הגשמת החלום שלה. שרית למדה לאזן עם השנים, מהאופטימיות בה היא מסתכלת על כשלונות, דרך היכולת שלה  לאזן בין ניהול ״קר״ מול ניהול אישי ועד לכך שהיא דואגת להשאיר לעצמה זמן ליצירה ופיסול כדי לייצר לעצמה אי של שקט. שרית מלמדת אותנו איך התמדה, מוטיבציה פנימית, קלילות וחזון יכולים ליצור אימפקט משמעותי והנאה מהדרך.

Chris joined moderator Asaf Azulay and a group of founders and CEOs on Team8 Marketing's Acceler8 Workshop. Chris covers the most common B2B Marketing mistake that he sees companies make when it comes to scaling: financial planning process relating to GTM programs. He talks about how this leads to overlapping costs and nobody focused on creating net new demand for their product or service. He also recommends having business KPIs that are separate from Attribution, so that you can more easily find a root cause of any issues. He also answers audience questions, giving tactical advice and feedback for early stage companies.  If you want to have a conversation with Chris and present your current questions, roadblocks, or projects you're working through, make sure to attend this weekly event every Tuesday at 12 central.

As he announced his retirement from competitive tennis, Roger Federer thanked his supporters for helping make the dreams of a young Swiss ball kid come true. Regarded as one of the greatest male tennis players in history, Federer is hanging up his racquet as age finally catches up with him.  At a time when the sport was getting more aggressive, Federer embodied a calm that champions strived for. His record in Wimbledon is a testament to this style of play.  His style on the court was artistic as he relied more on elegance than raw power. In a game dominated by power-hitters and endurance, he was one of the few who banked on techniques to challenge his opponents. [Byte of Suveen Sinha, Business Standard] Federer has not played a single match in nearly 14 months. His last competitive appearance at Wimbledon in July 2021 was a quarter-final defeat. Yet in the twelve months leading to May 1st, 2022, the 41-year-old made an estimated $90 million before taxes and agents' fees. On Forbes' 2022 list of the world's highest-paid athletes, Federer took the seventh spot even though he won only about $700,000 in prize money during the period.  While he was the world's highest-paid athlete on the 2020 list with a total of $106.3 million, he remained the highest-paid tennis player for 17 straight years. His on-court earnings through prize money since turning ‘pro' in 1998 totalled $130.5 million, the third in ATP Tour history, behind Djokovic and Nadal. However, Federer had no contest off the court. He made about $1 billion across his career through sponsorships, endorsements, appearance fees at tournaments and lucrative exhibition events. His career earnings total of $1.1 billion before taxes and agents' fees is more than double that of Nadal's $500 million and Djokovic's $470 million He is only one of seven athletes across sports to have surpassed $1 billion, while still active. When Federer described his sponsors as partners in his statement he did not mean it as a mere formality. Federer has an endorsement portfolio of 14 brands, half of whom have been sponsoring him for more than a decade. These include Mercedes-Benz, Credit Suisse, Rolex, Lindt and Wilson. His other sponsors include Uniqlo, Gillette, Barilla, NetJets, Rimova and Moët & Chandon. His biggest deal came in 2018 when he quit Nike to sign a 10-year $300 million contract with Japanese apparel brand Uniqlo. Nike had paid him $150 million over a two-decade period. Even as his on-court visibility fades, Federer can expect most of his sponsorships to continue into retirement. Few athletes have transcended their sport like Federer.  But how did he earn the loyalty of his sponsors? N Chandramouli, CEO, TRA Research says, Federer's on-court composure is reflected in his personal life. He gives hope and brings enthusiasm to the game. Federer has made a lasting connection with fans. Federer has been long-planning for life after professional tennis. In 2013, he and his agent Tony Godsick co-founded player management agency Team8. The tennis legend is set to retire after next week's Laver Cup in London. The tournament, which became an official ATP event in 2019, is owned by Team8. In 2019, Federer invested in Swiss shoe brand On, which went public last September. His estimated 3% stake in the company is worth $200 million. His sharp business decision could one day make him the fourth athlete-billionaire after Michael Jordan, LeBron James and Tiger Woods.

Ben Caspit hosts this week Brig. Gen. (res) Nadav Zafrir, the former commander of the elite IDF 8200 intelligence unit and currently the founder and managing partner of the cyber company Team8. Israel has suffered three terror attacks within the span of only three weeks. Zafrir notes that while these attacks were obviously terrible and tragic, numerous other attacks have been foiled recently via very sophisticated intelligence that IDF unit 8200 members and others in Israel's defense establishment have collected. "It is true that young men unaffiliated directly with terror organizations who suddenly decide to perpetrate terror attacks are creating an almost unprecedented challenge. However, the world has become hyper connected, and the digital footprint of all of us is constantly rising. And so, the best response to these kinds of attacks would probably be based on very sophisticated, relevant and very big data."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Deloitte and Team8 identify tax technology (TaxTech), as a significant vertical that is currently growing and developing in the fintech industry. The Emergence of TaxTech – A New Era of Fintech report maps out more than 100 startup companies in the global TaxTech space, segmented by tax solution and target audience, and provides an overview of relevant companies and their developments in various domains. The global fintech industry experienced unprecedented growth in 2021, with companies in the space raising more than $140 billion, three times more than in 2020. This growth is apparent in the high number of public offerings and new unicorns that surfaced in the past 12 months across a wide range of verticals including insurance, loans and payments. The report's findings point to TaxTech as the next breakthrough fintech vertical, largely due to the proliferation of new financial services in the market and the fact that taxation is intrinsically linked to nearly all financial decisions. The report details examples of available tax technologies and reviews possible applications that may deliver tangible efficiency gains for individuals, businesses and regulators. It also highlights investors' appetite for the space. In the past year, investments in TaxTech solutions worldwide increased from $240 million in 2020 to $864 million in 2021. TaxTech Benefits Taxes impact the lives of people and companies' bottom lines. Recent trends, such as digitalization, the rise of cryptocurrencies, the massive surge in eCommerce and the gig economy all have massive tax implications that are driving TaxTech innovation. The research revealed two dominant sub-trends within the nascent TaxTech space. First, and in line with the broader embedded finance trend, TaxTech companies are beginning to offer APIs that empower third-party platforms to provide tax-as-a-service solutions. An embedded tax offering could enable better compliance, and help companies support customers within their ecosystem by facilitating a more holistic tax experience. Second, there is a notable interest in new technologies aimed at improving reporting processes for crypto traders and regulators – as evidenced by the fact that over one-third of the money raised by TaxTech companies in 2021 went to crypto-focused tax startups. Due to the growing complexity of tax codes along with increased demand for real-time data and reporting by tax authorities, tax compliance has become more burdensome for individuals and businesses worldwide.

Similarly, in the e-commerce industry, which is enjoying a pandemic-driven boom period, online sellers who transact across borders must now contend with different tax frameworks that vary from country to country, and with growing complexity to ensure compliance with all applicable requirements. And as the crypto space continues to attract more mainstream traders, regulators are focusing on the issue of taxation and reporting of crypto assets. These are just some of the trends that have prompted fintech companies to turn their attention to the tax sector. Team8 and Deloitte – Impact of TaxTech “Tax season in the digital era has become a huge challenge for individuals or businesses who are burdened with gathering and filing tax statements spread across a multitude of financial apps, banking services, and other platforms,” said Ronen Assia, Managing Partner at Team8. “It's time for a new breed of tech-driven solutions tailored to the ever-changing contours of the global economy.

The 14-day quarantine has lifted . . . tennis players in Melbourne and Adelaide are leaving their rooms and playing in maskless stadiums, thanks to months of sacrifice by Australians and much politicking by Tennis Australia. Throughout the 2-week quarantine, the tone and level of complaining softened (for the most part), but it was not without intrigue. We chat about Novak Djokovic's list of requests to TA on behalf of quarantined players and why the universal roasting he received was, well -- maybe a little much? We're also talking about Nadal's comments on quarantine; the Adelaide exhibition; (grudgingly) the Margaret Court carousel; and what's next.    1:20 Checking back in on the quarantiners: fact-checker Artem Sitak; plus Badosa, Tomic & Vanessa, RBA 13:45 So . . . about Adelaide 18:10 Craig Tiley says the quiet part out loud & Rafa offers an imperfect but impassioned forest-for-the-trees perspective 24:00 Peter Bodo blasts Tiley for his "imperial ambitions" and the clear inequalities between the top players and the Melbourne quarantiners 29:05 Looking at Novak Djokovic's requests (suggestions? asks?) on behalf of the Melbourne players 36:35 Margaret Court's honor from the Australian government is met with vocal criticism -- is the tide turning? 40:45 Yastremska's appeal to ITF is denied - but the Court of Arbitration for Sport will hear her doping appeal right away! 44:00 Team8 and Zverev part ways; AZ gets softball interview with BILD; AZ's crisis PR manager (and former employee of BILD) acts out on Twitter again 47:05 Et ceteras: Twitter MVP Chanda Rubin clears a troll 52:35 Adelaide exhibition: Novak disappears and reappears, the Serena-Naomi kiki, and Thiem & Nadal hitting but not giggling 54:40 Actual tennis is starting, like now!

I avsnitt 15 av bostadspodden Tak över huvudet är temat privatekonomi och bostadsköp. Nordeas privatekonom Ingela Gabrielsson resonerar kring bostadsbubblans varande eller icke varande, bostadsköparnas förväntningar på bostadsprisernas och bostadsräntornas utveckling de kommande 12 månaderna, amorteringskravet och kanske den viktigaste frågan av dem alla – hur man ta sig in på bostadsmarknaden. Hon delar också med sig av sitt bästa privatekonomiska tips (05:42). Ingrid Eiken pratar om nyttan och vikten av att Mäklarsamfundets medlemmar, fastighetsmäklarna, deltar i undersökningar (01.53).

I avsnitt 14 av bostadspodden Tak över huvudet gör vi ett hastigt nedslag i det ökande bostadsbyggandet och byggbolagens framtida utveckling. Hur stor roll spelar den nationella bostadspolitiken för byggandet i kommunerna? Ingrid Eiken, vd på Mäklarsamfundet, pratar om vad som behövs för att fler ska komma in på bostadsmarknaden och hur man kan vara kreativ och innovativ för att skapa fler bostäder (02:23).

I Fråga juristen gör Mats Sjöquist, en av Mäklarsamfundets mest erfarna jurister, poddpremiär! Han redogör för varför Mäklarsamfundet är emot försäljning av optionsavtal, och pratar på temat spekulation i det nyproducerade bostadsrättsbeståndet i allmänhet. Som expert på nyproduktion reder han ut vad som gäller och vilka avtal man som både fastighetsmäklare och konsument ska vara medveten om (12:05).

I avsnitt 13 av bostadspodden Tak över huvudet fortsätter vi att lyfta ett viktigt ämne i fastighetsmäklarbranschen: kompetensförsörjning och rekrytering. Hur hittar man rätt folk och hur behåller man dem? I detta avsnitt fokuserar vi på vad mäklarföretagen gör för att skapa förutsättningar för deras medarbetare att lyckas och känna att de kommit till rätt arbetsgivare. Ingrid Eiken, vd på Mäklarsamfundet, berättar om hur Mäklarsamfundet genom nätverk och referensgrupper ökar samverkan och dialog i branschen (02:15).

Catharina Lager Sundberg, vd för Karlsson & Uddare och ordförande i Mäklarsamfundets Stockholmskrets, berättar hur mindre företag jobbar med rekrytering och hur mäklare kan jobba i team för att få ett bättre arbetssätt (16:36). I Fråga juristen får vi här i podden bekanta oss med en ny jurist från Mäklarsamfundet Louise Lundqvist. Hon pratar om vad som händer när köparen inte får lån trots lånelöfte.
