Pete spent the day doing some investigative journalism. He made calls, pulled records, and chased down leads no one else had the courage — or the free time — to chase. Something is clearly wrong. Since the All-Star Break, every team ToR follows has decided to embrace mediocrity — at best! — as a lifestyle choice. This weak, the Team discusses the Cubs dropping out of the NL Central race, the Cardinals’ tragic number reducing to four, CITY hovering dangerously close to the Wooden Spoon, and Newcastle drawing Leeds, not to mention the Bears spending Monday's fourth quarter collapsing as performance art. Because after careful research, meticulous analysis, and hours of reflection, Pete finally uncovered the root cause of all this misery. It’s Ron’s fault.

THE Leadership Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Why vision, mission, and values still matter in 2025—if leaders make them real Not long ago, talking about “vision” often invited sneers. Leaders who spoke about visions were mocked as spouting psychobabble. Part of the cynicism came from the poor quality of early vision statements—trite platitudes that could double as sleeping aids. But times have changed. In 2025, vision, mission, and values are essential leadership tools, yet most organisations still struggle to make them resonate with staff. Why were visions mocked in the past? In the 1980s and 1990s, many vision statements were badly written—either too vague, too long, or too clichéd. Employees saw them as irrelevant. Cynical cultures, like Australia's, dismissed them as hollow leadership exercises. Fast-forward to today, and vision has become mainstream. Companies in Japan, the US, and Europe frame it as a strategic anchor. But credibility remains the challenge: if employees can't recall the vision, they can't live it. Mini-Summary: Early visions failed because they were clichéd or irrelevant. Today they are vital, but only if staff remember and act on them. Do employees actually know their company's vision, mission, and values? Research and field experience suggest most don't. Trainers often test this by flipping framed statements on the wall and asking staff to recite them. Typically, no one remembers the vision or mission, and at best, a few values. In Japan, where employees pride themselves on discipline and detail, this gap is striking. It shows that leadership communication is failing. Employees can't live what they can't recall. Mini-Summary: Most employees cannot recite their organisation's vision, mission, or values—evidence that communication and ownership are missing. Why do so many statements fail to inspire? There are two extremes: bloated statements too long to recall, or cut-down slogans so short they become vapid clichés. Both kill engagement. Worse, leaders often draft them alone, without wordsmithing skills or input from employees. Even when teams co-create content, turnover means newcomers feel no ownership. In Japan, where lifetime employment has eroded, this turnover effect is magnified. Leaders must find mechanisms to refresh ownership constantly. Mini-Summary: Vision and value statements fail when they're too long, too short, or disconnected from employees—especially in high-turnover environments. What practices help embed vision into daily work? One proven method is daily repetition. Ritz-Carlton Hotels review their values at every shift worldwide, with even junior staff leading the discussion. Inspired by this, Dale Carnegie Tokyo holds a “Daily Dale” every morning, where team members take turns to lead the session and recites the vision, mission, and values and discuss one of 60 Dale Carnegie Human Relations Principles. This practice ensures even new hires quickly internalise the culture. Egalitarian leadership—having secretaries, not just presidents, lead—also deepens ownership. Mini-Summary: Embedding vision requires daily rituals, repetition, and egalitarian involvement, not just posters on walls. Should companies also create a “strategic vision”? Yes. Many visions describe identity—who we are and what we stand for—but not direction. During the pandemic, Dale Carnegie Tokyo added a “Strategic Vision” to articulate where the company was heading. In 2025, with Japan navigating digital transformation, demographic decline, and global competition, leaders need both: a cultural compass (vision, mission, values) and a directional map (strategic vision). Without both, organisations drift. Mini-Summary: Companies need two visions: a cultural compass for identity, and a strategic vision for direction—especially in turbulent times. How can leaders bring visions to life in 2025? Leaders must test whether employees know the vision, mission, and values. If they don't, leaders should redesign communication and embedding processes. Mechanisms like daily recitation, story-sharing, and recognition linked to values make culture tangible. The post-pandemic world has raised expectations: employees want meaningful work, and customers want values-driven partners. Leaders who treat vision statements as wallpaper risk being left behind. Mini-Summary: Leaders bring visions to life by testing recall, embedding practices into daily routines, and aligning recognition with values. Conclusion Vision, mission, and values were once dismissed as leadership fluff. Today, they are essential but often forgotten or poorly implemented. In 2025, leaders in Japan and globally must transform them into living tools—clear, repeatable, and tied to both culture and strategy. If your team can't recite your vision, mission, and values today, you don't have a culture—you have a poster.

Pluto startet am 20.08.2025 seinen Rücklauf in Tor 60 (Linie 6 – „Festigkeit/Limitierung“) und bleibt dort bis zum 05.12.2025. In dieser Phase rückt das Thema Grenzen, Regeln und Struktur ins Zentrum: Wo geben dir klare Rahmen Halt – und wo werden sie so starr, dass sie dich ausbremsen? Ich zeige dir im Video, warum rückläufiger Pluto eher „nach innen“ wirkt, wie sich Tor 60.6 zwischen kluger Disziplin und dogmischer Härte bewegt und woran du erkennst, ob du dich gerade an sinnvollen Begrenzungen orientierst oder an alten Prinzipien festhältst, die dich klein halten.Termin buchen.

In der 306. Ausgabe der «Dritten Halbzeit» geht es um das Schweizer Nationalteam und die Spiele gegen Kosovo und Slowenien. Mit zwei Siegen ist das Team von Murat Yakin perfekt in die WM-Qualifikation gestartet und hat dabei eine neue Entschlossenheit und Seriosität an den Tag gelegt. In beiden Partien war die Schweiz das bessere Team und hat insgesamt sieben Tore erzielt.Einer der grossen Gewinner ist Stürmer Breel Embolo, der nun fünfmal in Folge mindestens ein Tor geschossen hat. Das ist seit 20 Jahren und einem gewissen Alex Frei keinem Schweizer Nationalspieler mehr gelungen. Und Embolo fühlt sich geehrt, dass man ihn nach seinen jüngsten Leistungen mit – wie er selbst sagt – «Herrn Frei” vergleicht.Die Themen:00:00 Intro07:07 Die Schweizer Siege21:27 Was ist in den USA passiert?29:02 Hat Yakin alles richtig gemacht?36:54 Embolo und «Herr Frei»42:17 Widmer, Akanji und Elvedi50:58 Wer drängt ins Team?

Der FC Eddersheim hat die ersten sechs Spiele der Hessenliga-Saison gewonnen, war somit die beste Mannschaft des hessischen Amateurfußballs. Dann kam die Interviewanfrage von Kreis.Liga.KULT! und schwupps war die erste Niederlage da. Vorstand Chrisi Reuter ist trotzdem zum Gespräch in den Kreis.Liga-KULT!-Tower nach Bornheim gekommen. Und er hat uns erzählt, wieviel zeitlicher und finanzieller Aufwand hinter einem Verein steckt, der an der Schwelle von Amateur- und Profifußball wandelt. Außerdem erzählt Reuter, wie es einem sportlich ambitionierten Verein trotzdem gelingt, nahbar zu sein und die ein oder andere Kreisliga-Tugend mit Leben zu füllen. Außerdem: Beim FV Wehrda hat es das erste Tor nach der neuen Acht-Sekunden-Regel gegeben. Die SG Sickels und der TSV Ballersbach haben ihre Stadien mit spektakulären Transfers aufgewertet. Und: Pau Babot von Rot Weiß Walldorf hat mit der Nationalmannschaft Andorras gegen England gespielt und dabei ein ganz besonderes Trikot abgestaubt. Unser Trikot der Folge kommt von der SG Rotenburg/Lispenhausen. Das alles und noch viel mehr in Folge 34 von Kreis.Liga.KULT!

THE Presentations Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Why rehearsal, timing, and delivery shape your reputation as a professional speaker in Japan and beyond Why is timing so critical in business presentations? The single biggest mistake in presentations is poor time control. In Japan and globally, conference organisers run tight schedules. Going overtime is seen as disrespectful and unprofessional. Conversely, trying to squeeze too much content into too little time leaves the audience frustrated and overwhelmed. Leaders at firms like Toyota or Rakuten expect speakers to stay on time, not sprint through slides like “deranged people.” A presentation that runs forty minutes when you had an hour is forgivable; a talk that overruns its slot is not. Mini-Summary: Time discipline in presentations signals professionalism. Overrunning damages your personal brand and your company's credibility in Japan's business culture. What happens when speakers mismanage time? When a presenter announces, “I'll need to move quickly,” they reveal poor preparation. Audiences infer: if you can't plan a forty-minute talk into forty minutes, how can you manage a multimillion-dollar project? Reputation damage extends beyond the individual to the entire organisation. In competitive markets like Japan, the US, and Europe, this kind of slip erodes trust and can cost business opportunities. Mini-Summary: Rushed, overloaded talks erode trust. Stakeholders extrapolate poor time discipline to the presenter's overall competence. Why do rehearsals matter more than you think? Most leaders convince themselves they “don't have time” to rehearse. Yet rehearsal is where professionals discover misalignment between content and allocated time. In my experience delivering Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training programmes, presenters nearly always start with too much material, not too little. The solution is cutting ruthlessly before stepping on stage. Rehearsals let you refine, simplify, and focus on impact — rather than embarrass yourself with speed-reading slides in public. Mini-Summary: Rehearsals reveal excess material and allow refinement. Skipping practice causes rushed, incoherent delivery that undermines executive presence. How does rehearsal improve delivery, not just timing? Once timing is fixed, rehearsal shifts to performance. Business presentations are performances — polished but authentic, not theatrical. Leaders who read from a script signal insecurity and lack of mastery. Rehearsal allows executives to internalise their key points, so the audience sees confidence, not desperation. In Tokyo boardrooms and at global investor conferences alike, polished delivery builds gravitas and trust. Mini-Summary: Rehearsal ensures smooth delivery. Executives should appear confident and persuasive, not reliant on scripts. What role does video feedback play? In training rooms, we record participants so they can see what the audience sees. Video feedback is humbling but invaluable. You catch distracting habits, vocal weaknesses, or pacing errors you'd otherwise miss. Replaying live presentations helps refine delivery across markets. Whether speaking to Japanese stakeholders or Western boards, professionals who rehearse, review, and improve demonstrate credibility. Mini-Summary: Video feedback exposes blind spots. Reviewing performances builds stronger delivery across diverse business cultures. What is the ultimate standard of professionalism? True professionals prepare, rehearse, review, and deliver within time. They treat every presentation — whether to staff, shareholders, or industry peers — as a performance shaping their reputation. In Japan's high-context culture, small lapses in timing or preparation send big signals. Internationally, executives with strong presence are trusted to lead. Are you seen as a polished professional, or as someone who exposes flaws by failing to rehearse? Mini-Summary: Professionalism in presentations means mastering timing, rehearsing delivery, and safeguarding your reputation. Conclusion Getting the timing right is not about clocks — it is about credibility. Leaders who rehearse, respect the schedule, and refine delivery project authority in every market. Those who don't risk reputational damage far greater than the value of any single presentation slot.

Die Erste gewinnt zweimal 4:0 gegen HSV II und Jeddeloh II und findet Form und Formation. Hier reift was heran :) Die Zwote verliert im Topspiel gegen Wilhelmshaven zuhause und muss zum ersten mal Punkte abgeben. Die Frauen verlieren zuhause gegen Mitfavorit und Aufsteiger Mainz aufgrund fehlender Kaltschnäuzigkeit vor dem Tor
Am 7. September 2025 erleben wir einen besonderen Vollmond – eine totale Mondfinsternis im Zeichen der Fische, einen Blutmond. In dieser Episode öffne ich den Raum für die tiefe spirituelle Dimension dieses Ereignisses: die Reinigung der Wasser, das Aufsteigen alter Erinnerungen, die Spannung der Achse Fische–Jungfrau und die seltene Drachenfigur am Himmel.Wir sprechen über das Ende alter spiritueller Strukturen und den Beginn einer neuen Epoche, über Täuschungen, die sichtbar werden, und über die Frage, wie wir in unserem eigenen Leben zwischen Ritual und Seele, Struktur und Hingabe, Traum und Tat die Balance finden können.Ein Blutmond in den Fischen ist mehr als ein Himmelsereignis – er ist ein Tor zur Erinnerung, eine Schwelle zwischen Vergangenheit und Zukunft.
In this episode, I discuss my gear choices for the Tor de Geants 330k. I have listed all items below with their respective websites for you. I'll post track info on my social channels and Strava in the coming week ahead. I'll be taking a 2 week break form the podcast while in Italy. Once I return, I'll give a full race recap.

Ljubezen, premierno prikazana na lanskem festivalu v Benetkah, je zadnji del trilogije iz sodobnega Osla, ki jo je posnel norveški avtor Dag Johan Haugerud. Osrednja lika sta izkušena urologinja Marianne, zdravnica srednjih let, in njen asistent Tor, mlajši bolničar, oba samska ter z različnimi pogledi in pristopi pri iskanju razmerij. Njegovo poročanje o izkušnjah z bežnimi stiki z moškimi vpliva na Marianne, zdi pa se, da tudi njeno spletanje zveze z ločenim očetom vpliva na Tora. Dag Johan Haugerud se je v svoji trilogiji izkazal za radovednega avtorja, ki ima samo toliko predsodkov kot njegovi liki, ki jim v pretežno dialoških filmih zleze pod kožo. Vsi njegovi portretiranci se na neki način iščejo. Vendar bi mu delali krivico, če bi ga reducirali na »dialoškost« oziroma na dramsko, scenaristično izhodišče: ima izjemno spretno roko pri izbiri in vodenju igralcev, pa tudi pri pomenski izrabi lokacij in ne nazadnje celoviti zvočno-slikovni upodobitvi mesta, ki se v Ljubezni pripravlja na praznovanje 100-letnice preimenovanja v Oslo. Precejšen pomenski del pripovedi se tokrat dogaja na trajektu oziroma premikih med otokom in jedrom mesta, med zasebnim in javnim življenjem, med domom, kar koli to že je, in službo. Občudovanja vreden je prikaz, kako so vse te ravni pravzaprav ves čas globoko prepletene. Zadnji del trilogije, podobno kot uvodne Sanje, preveva nežna melanholija. Avtor je tokrat v svoje pripovedi o intimnosti in razmerjih, pa tudi mesenosti in užitku, vpletel temo bolezni, medicinskih posegov v telo, tudi slutnjo minljivosti in smrti. Vse to je sestavni del življenja in ključno vpliva na duševnost in medosebne odnose. Večna tema, ki jo je Haugerud lepo pripeljal od prve najstniške zaljubljenosti v Sanjah do zrelih let in iskanja končnega pristanišča … Veliko zrelosti pokaže tudi s sporočilom med vrsticami, da idealnega razmerja ni, da imamo vsi svoje muhe, slabosti in pomanjkljivosti in da je dejansko težko preseči romantični razkol med pričakovanji in resničnostjo. V Ljubezni pokaže svoje like v trenutkih njihove največje ranljivosti, ne da bi iz nas naredil voajerje; v tem je njegova režijska veščina. Pokaže tudi, da je del našega vsakdanjika vedno »performativen« – pravzaprav se v vsakem izmed delov trilogije znajde dramsko-uprizoritvena sekvenca, ki na neki način simbolizira prav tisto življenjsko presežno, ki ga avtor vedno povezuje z nevidnimi nitmi intimne povezanosti. Plovba do tega je lahko razburkana in vodi mimo različnih čeri, toda ljudomrznosti ali pesimizma v trilogiji Daga Johana Haugeruda ne bomo našli.

THE Leadership Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Why leaders must nurture ideas if they want innovation to thrive in Japan People are more creative than they give themselves credit for, yet many work environments suppress rather than encourage innovation. Brainstorming sessions often produce nothing but wasted calendar space, or worse, good ideas that die on arrival because no one champions them. In Japan and globally, corporate graveyards are filled with unrealised concepts. Leaders must understand that creativity is not a one-off spark—it's a journey that requires cultivation, sponsorship, and careful timing. Why do so many good ideas die inside companies? Most ideas never make it past the brainstorming stage. Either nothing actionable emerges, or promising suggestions are quietly buried. Even in companies with innovation-friendly cultures, ideas face hurdles before they can be applied. Lack of sponsorship, risk aversion, and overloaded leadership pipelines kill innovation before it matures. In Japan, this is amplified by hierarchical decision-making. Ideas often stall before reaching senior management because middle managers, stretched thin and politically cautious, block their path. Without a system to shepherd ideas upward, they disappear. Mini-Summary: Good ideas often fail because they lack sponsorship, timing, or pathways upward—especially in Japan's hierarchical organisations. Where do creative ideas come from? Ideas start with individuals. Inspiration can come from anywhere—external networks, professional communities, or day-to-day frustrations. The broader an employee's networks, the higher the likelihood of fresh sparks. The problem is engagement. In Japan, only about 5–7% of employees rank as “highly engaged” in surveys. That means most staff aren't motivated to generate or push ideas. Without engagement, even the most creative sparks fizzle. Leaders must connect daily work to purpose so employees see why innovation matters. Mini-Summary: Creative ideas emerge from individuals with broad networks and high engagement—but in Japan, low engagement is a major innovation barrier. How can leaders cultivate employee ideas? Cultivation requires more than slogans about innovation. Leaders must make purpose explicit, encourage risk-taking, and reward those who step outside comfort zones. If junior staff can't articulate the company's “why,” their ideas will lack direction. In Japan, where conformity often trumps experimentation, leaders must show daily that trying new things is safe. Recognising effort, even when ideas fail, builds confidence. The way leaders treat innovators—successes and failures alike—sets the tone for the whole organisation. Mini-Summary: Leaders cultivate ideas by clarifying purpose, rewarding risk-taking, and encouraging experimentation—even in failure. Why do smart ideas need sponsors and champions? Ideas rarely succeed alone. They need collaborators to refine them and sponsors to promote them. Expecting to walk straight into a boardroom with a raw idea is unrealistic. Allies, mentors, and champions must first shepherd it through the system. In Japanese firms, where harmony is prized, ideas must often be “harmonised” at lower levels before reaching executives. Champions play a critical role in ensuring promising concepts aren't lost to politics or hierarchy. Mini-Summary: Ideas need allies and champions to survive the political journey inside companies, especially in hierarchical Japan. How does timing affect idea success? Even brilliant ideas fail if introduced at the wrong time. Microsoft famously launched its Tablet PC years before the iPad, and its SPOT Watch long before the Apple Watch. Both flopped, not because the ideas were bad, but because the market wasn't ready. In Japan, timing is especially crucial when companies face cost-cutting or conservative leadership cycles. Innovation requires resources—time, talent, and money—which are scarce during downturns. Leaders must align idea introduction with corporate readiness. Mini-Summary: Timing can make or break ideas—introduce them too early or in the wrong climate, and they will fail regardless of quality. What systems help ideas travel upward? Without an “express lane” for good ideas, most are trapped in corporate silos. Middle managers, often protective of their turf, can stall innovation. Creating formal pathways that allow vetted ideas to reach senior leaders quickly is essential. Some global companies use innovation labs or dedicated sponsorship committees to fast-track ideas. In Japan, establishing such systems prevents good ideas from being smothered by bureaucracy or politics. Leaders who create express lanes differentiate themselves and unlock competitive advantage. Mini-Summary: Formal “express lanes” help promising ideas bypass bureaucracy and reach top decision-makers, ensuring innovation isn't lost. Conclusion The creative idea journey within companies is long and fraught with obstacles. Ideas require engaged employees, cultivation, sponsorship, careful timing, and systems that allow them to travel upward. In Japan's conservative corporate culture, leaders must work even harder to ensure innovation isn't stifled by hierarchy or risk aversion. The true white-collar crime of leadership is failing to apply ideas that could have transformed the business.

THE Sales Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Why mastering client conversations in Japan defines long-term sales success When salespeople meet new clients, the first few minutes set the tone for everything that follows. This “transition zone” between pleasantries and serious discussion is where trust is either built—or broken. Let's explore how professionals in Japan and globally can own this crucial phase. Why is the sales transition zone so critical? The sales transition zone is the moment when the buyer and seller move from small talk into business. For the client, the first question is usually, “How much will this cost me?”. For the salesperson, the focus is on proving value beyond price. Unless this gap is bridged quickly, the conversation can collapse into a price war. In Japan, where relationship-building and long-term trust are prized, handling this transition with sensitivity is even more critical than in the US or Europe. Western executives may prefer blunt efficiency—“Let's get straight to business”—but Japanese buyers expect context, respect, and subtlety. Mini-Summary: The transition zone is where price-driven client expectations collide with value-focused sales strategy. Mastering it determines whether the meeting builds trust or breaks down. How should salespeople frame the meeting agenda? After greetings, professionals should set a clear agenda that shows respect for the client's time. For example: “I appreciate Suzuki-san introducing us. She felt there may be mutual benefit, so today I'd like to explore how our solutions may support your business. I also want to better understand your needs and see if there's a fit. Are there other items you'd like to cover?” This framing balances structure with flexibility. It prevents the client from feeling “sold to” while subtly keeping control of the meeting. Across industries—from pharmaceuticals to IT services—Japanese clients respond positively when they feel their input is requested early. Mini-Summary: Outlining a flexible agenda signals professionalism and respect, while keeping the salesperson in control of the meeting flow. How can unique selling propositions (USPs) be introduced naturally? Clients don't want a corporate brochure; they want proof of relevance. Introduce USPs in a conversational way: “We are global soft-skills training experts, here since 1963, specialising in sales training in Japan.” This single sentence embeds four powerful points: global scope, world best practice, 60 years of Japanese experience, and local market adaptation. Companies like Toyota, Rakuten, and Fujitsu look for vendors who demonstrate both international credibility and deep domestic roots. Mini-Summary: Well-crafted introductions should deliver layered USPs that combine global credibility, local experience, and proven relevance. How can salespeople prove credibility with results? Proof must be concrete, relevant, and measurable. For example: “Recently we trained a company in your industry. Salesperson confidence rose 40%, and revenues increased 18% within six months.” This approach works across sectors—manufacturing, finance, and consumer goods—because executives trust comparative results. But credibility evaporates if numbers are exaggerated. In Japan, where long-term relationships matter, any suspicion of dishonesty ends future business. Mini-Summary: Share specific, industry-relevant metrics to prove impact. Honesty is non-negotiable if you want repeat business in Japan. How do you smoothly shift to client questioning? Once credibility is established, invite permission to ask questions: “I don't know if we could achieve the same results for you, but may I ask a few questions to better understand your situation?” This low-pressure approach keeps the salesperson in control while respecting the client's space. It allows for uncovering challenges—talent gaps, process inefficiencies, competitive threats—without triggering defensiveness. Japanese executives particularly value humility paired with competence. Mini-Summary: The best transition uses respectful permission to shift into diagnostic questioning, creating trust and revealing real client needs. What if you discover you can't help the client? Not every prospect is a fit. Forcing a solution damages reputation. Instead, tell the client: “This may not be the right match.” This honesty preserves brand integrity. In Japan's tight-knit business networks, reputation compounds: one display of integrity can open doors elsewhere. Global comparisons support this: US firms often admire aggressiveness in sales, but in Japan, restraint builds credibility. Long-term success comes not from a single deal, but from a portfolio of reorders, referrals, and reputation. Mini-Summary: Walking away respectfully when there is no fit strengthens credibility and ensures long-term opportunities in Japan's relationship-driven market. Conclusion Owning the sales transition zone means balancing confidence with humility, structure with flexibility, and proof with empathy. Salespeople who master this moment avoid premature price talk, build credibility through structured storytelling, and earn the right to ask deeper questions. Ultimately, success is not about one transaction but about sustaining long-term partnerships in Japan's trust-based business culture.

Show Notes: Sri Kaza is a former McKinsey partner and the author of Unconvention, A Small Business Strategy Guide. Sri explains why he left McKinsey after nearly a decade of working with large corporations, to start working with small businesses. Around 12 years ago he decided to pursue entrepreneurship and independence. He worked for Tor Hagen at Viking Cruises, who was a former McKinsey partner, and Sri was impressed by Tor's ability to allow his vision to take risks and drive decision-making. This inspired Sri to look more broadly at entrepreneurship. The Tax Credit Company After working with Hagen, Sri joined a new entrepreneurial venture, the Tax Credit Co., which focused on small businesses with less than 100 or 500 employees. His focus was operationalizing their work opportunity tax credit business, helping them access the government credits they simply were not aware of. Sri's company spent a significant amount of time and money acquiring customers, focusing on providing value and helping them navigate the complex world of tax credits. Explaining The Work Opportunity Tax Credit Sri explains how The Work Opportunity Tax Credit, which allows small businesses to claim tax credits up to 2000 dollars for hiring individuals on government assistance or from unique districts with socio-economic issues. Sri talks about the scale of tax credit opportunities available as well as the potential for fraud and exploitation. To build a scalable back end, Sri drew from his McKinsey experience and suggests thinking about the business from the perspective of the small business owner and providing guidance on where the big problems are. Small Business Lending Sri shared examples from his most recent role as CEO of ForwardLine Financial, a small business lender about being informative and helping businesses research their problems. This approach helped both the small business clients and Sri's company scale up well; but many of their clients' business faced challenges during the COVID pandemic and a third of their customers did not survive the pandemic. Sri then developed a framework for building business cases and understanding the strategies of small firms, helping them apply funds and succeed. It was this experience that inspired the concept of his book. Agility and Speed of Decision-Making Incorporating agility and speed of decision making into a small business framework is crucial for success. Small business owners have the advantage of knowing their customers day-to-day and making decisions quickly. This is different from CEOs of big companies, who have to make decisions based on government restrictions. Sri explains that, during the post-COVID period, many businesses didn't wait to set up their standards for their in-store experience. They adjusted their offerings based on customer preferences, even in states with more freedom. For example, in Florida and Texas, businesses with a large number of operations struggled and saw higher revenue declines on average than some California cities. Business owners in these states didn't wait for the government to dictate their practices, but instead understood their customers' concerns and did their own research. This allowed them to make decisions quickly and reflect their customers' preferences, which helped them stay in better shape than chains that were waiting for national rules. The Importance of Purpose and Pride for Small Businesses Sri discusses the concept of purpose in small businesses, comparing it to the concept of Shokunin, or craftsmanship. Sri talks about his time in Japan and what he learned from small businesses there. He found that these businesses focused on their craft rather than profit or growth. He later realized that purpose allows individuals to choose their return on investment and pursue their passions. Individuals often leave consulting to pursue independence, not to make more money. They value the freedoms they gain from doing so. When making decisions, it's crucial not to compromise on their purpose, as it's powerful and doesn't have to follow the path of larger corporations. Pricing for Small Businesses Sri discusses the concept of raising prices for small businesses, which can be a challenge. He explains that there is more to understanding customer value than just price, and that small businesses should be conscious of the benefits they are sharing. He suggests that small businesses should not solely focus on profit but also on what they are trying to accomplish. He lays out pricing principles in his book to help small businesses understand how to calculate pricing and be conscious of the driving factors behind it that may not simply be profit. Plans for the Future Sri's personal plans for his book include becoming a coach or consultant to small businesses, launching a nonprofit foundation, and having an impact on 30 million entrepreneurs in the country. He believes that these entrepreneurs are challenged and need advice from people who have practical experience. He plans to create a nonprofit foundation and help build tools and reach a wider distribution.

Während bei Felix schon launige Jahresendstimmung herrscht und das Jahr 2025 für ihn schon dreiviertel-leer und gelaufen ist, steckt Toni noch mitten im Spätsommer: sein Jahr ist noch fast halbvoll. In Madrid wird heute Nacht von Sommerferienzeit auf Schulzeit umgestellt: das heißt: die Uhr wird drei bis vier Stunden vorgestellt. Kein Wunder, dass die Laune also heute noch gut ist. Mal sehen, wie es morgen aussieht. Fußball gab's natürlich auch: Bayern gegen Augsburg – laut Toni eigentlich ein 6:1, aber Augsburgs zwei Tore kamen nur, weil: „der Raum schießt halt kein Tor“. Felix wirft derweil den Transfer-Ticker an: Alexander Isak geht als Schnapper zu Liverpool, Wohltemade hat eine gute Entscheidung getroffen und Leverkusen feuert schon nach zwei Spieltagen seinen Trainer. Klar, dass auch Champions-League-Favoriten verteilt werden – Liverpool, Barça, Real (und PSG) – und dass Toni beim Gedanken an ein CL-Finale um 18 Uhr nur eins sieht: den erfolgsträchtigen Mittagsschlaf in Gefahr.

Guest: Rick Correa,Uber TL Google SecOps, Google Cloud Topics: On the 3rd anniversary of Curated Detections, you've grown from 70 rules to over 4700. Can you walk us through that journey? What were some of the key inflection points and what have been the biggest lessons learned in scaling a detection portfolio so massively? Historically the SecOps Curated Detection content was opaque, which led to, understandably, a bit of customer friction. We've recently made nearly all of that content transparent and editable by users. What were the challenges in that transition? You make a distinction between "Detection-as-Code" and a more mature "Software Engineering" paradigm. What gets better for a security team when they move beyond just version control and a CI/CD pipeline and start incorporating things like unit testing, readability reviews, and performance testing for their detections? The idea of a "Goldilocks Zone" for detections is intriguing – not too many, not too few. How do you find that balance, and what are the metrics that matter when measuring the effectiveness of a detection program? You mentioned customer feedback is important, but a confusion matrix isn't possible, why is that? You talk about enabling customers to use your "building blocks" to create their own detections. Can you give us a practical example of how a customer might use a building block for something like detecting VPN and Tor traffic to augment their security? You have started using LLMs for reviewing the explainability of human-generated metadata. Can you expand on that? What have you found are the ripe areas for AI in detection engineering, and can you share any anecdotes of where AI has succeeded and where it has failed?

In Texas at Toronto, Jacob deGrom meets Chris Bassitt, TOR +101, total 7.5. Griffin declares the Rangers' season “cooked” and picks Toronto, telling an “inside the pork” joke.

Griffin doubts Alcantara's form and leans over; Munaf notes his road over trend and favors BOS team total and full game over. Atlanta at Cleveland has Hurston Waldrep against Joey Cantillo, CLE -120, total 9.

Baltimore at Houston matches Brandon Young against Framber Valdez, HOU -243, total 8. Griffin doubts Young's MLB quality; Munaf cites HOU's 8-3 home record with Valdez, backing -1.5. Chicago White Sox at Kansas City pits Aaron Civale against Noah Cameron, KC -180, total 9. Griffin dislikes KC as a home favorite but doubts CWS; Munaf sees value on CWS. Yankees at Cardinals has Luis Gil versus Andre Pallante, NYY -126, total 9. Griffin says STL sold key pieces; Munaf sees Gil in form and likes NYY. Arizona at Colorado, Brandon Pfaadt against Tanner Gordon, ARI -180, total 12. Griffin calls Pfaadt unpredictable, leaning over; Munaf notes Coors Field overs profitable, siding with over and slight COL lean. Angels at A's has Yusei Kikuchi versus Jack Perkins, near-even odds, total 10. Griffin favors whichever is underdog; Munaf leans under due to Kikuchi's poor road record. Tampa Bay at San Francisco pits Joel Boyle against Landen Roupp, SF -122, total 8. Griffin notes SF's poor offense and Boyle's HR issues, liking TB plus money; Munaf favors SF for Roupp's form. For best bets, Griffin takes Guardians -120 over Braves, citing motivation disparity, while Munaf picks Cubs -1.5 against Pirates based on their strong post-loss performance and Rea's reliability.
