Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 17, 2026 is: notorious • noh-TOR-ee-us • adjective Notorious describes people and things that are well-known or famous, especially for something bad or unfavorable. // Their city is notorious for its extremely hot and humid summers. See the entry > Examples: “Given Long Island's cul-de-sac geography and notorious traffic, proposed bridges and tunnels to Connecticut are bound to get attention on the Island.” — Peter Gill, Newsday, 8 Dec. 2025 Did you know? For those who don't give a fig about a bad reputation, being notorious for unpopular behavior is no biggie. (Being notorious for topping the Billboard charts? Now that's a Biggie.) Although notorious (which comes from Latin noscere, “to come to know”) can be a synonym of famous, it's more often a synonym of infamous, having long ago developed the additional implication of someone or something disreputable. The Book of Common Prayer of 1549 includes one of the first known uses of the unfavorable meaning in print, referring to “notorious synners.” You know what they say: more notorious synners, more problems.

Allen and Joel are joined by Pete Andrews, Managing Director at EchoBolt. They discuss the company’s new BoltWave inspection device, the shift from routine retightening to condition-based monitoring, and how ultrasonic technology helps operators manage blade stud and tower bolt integrity throughout the turbine lifecycle.

Energy’s brightest innovators. This is the Progress Powering tomorrow. Pete Andrews: Pete, welcome to the program. Good to be back. Yeah. See you face to face. Yeah. Yes. This is wonderful. It’s a really great event to catch it with loads of the. UK innovation that are happening in the supply chain. So it’s, yeah, really nice to be here.  Allen Hall: This is really good to meet in person because we have seen a lot of bolt issues in the us, Canada, Australia, yeah. Uh, all around the world and every time bolt problems come up, I say, have you called Pete Andrews and Echo Bolt and gotten the kit to detect bolt issues? And then who’s Pete? Give me Pete’s phone number. Okay, sure. Uh, but now that we’re here in person, a lot has changed since we first talked to you probably two years ago.[00:01:00] You’re a bootstrap company based in the UK that has global presence, and I, I think it’s a good start to explain what the technology is and why Echo Bolt matters so much in today’s world.  Pete Andrews: Yeah, absolutely. So, um, as you said, we’re a uk, um, SME, there’s a team of 13 of us based here in the uk. Yeah. But we do deliver our services internationally, but really focused on Northern Europe. Yeah. But increasingly we’ve done more in the US and North America, a little bit in Canada. Um, but our big offering really is to help wind turbine operators and owners reduce the need to routinely retire in bulks. So we have a quick and simple inspection technology that people can deploy, find out the status of their bolt connections, and then. Reti them if necessary, but the vast majority of the time we find that they’re static and absolutely fine and can be left [00:02:00] alone. So it’s a real big efficiency boost for wind operators.  Joel Saxum: Well, you’re doing things by prescription now, right? Instead of just blanket cover, we’re gonna do all of this. It’s like, let’s work on the ones that actually need to be worked on. Let’s do the, the work that we actually need to, and instead of lugging, like we’re looking at the kit right here, and I can, you can hold the case in one hand, let alone the tools in a couple of fingers. As opposed to torque tensioning tools that are this big, they weigh a hundred kilos, and those come with all of their own problems. So I know that you guys said you’re, you’re focused here. You do a lot of work, um, in the offshore wind world as well. Yeah. I mean, offshore wind is where you add a zero right? To zeros. Yeah. Everything else is that much more complicated. It costs that much more. It’s you’re transitioning people offshore to the transition pieces. Like there’s so much more HSE risk, dollar risk, all of these different spend things. So. The Echo Bolt systems, these different tools that you have being developed and utilized here first make absolute sense, but now you guys are starting to go to onshore as well.  Pete Andrews: Yeah, that’s right. So I mean, as as you said, that there’s really [00:03:00] three main benefit areas we focus on. The first one is the health and safety of technicians, right? As you said, some of the fasteners used offshore now are up to MA hundred. So a hundred millimeter diameter bolts,  Joel Saxum: four inches for our American friends. Yeah, absolutely.  Pete Andrews: And they probably weigh. 30 kilos plus per bolt. Yeah. Um, so just the physical manual handling of that sort of equipment and the tightening equipment for those bolts is a huge risk for people. If you think 150 bolts lifting or maneuvering, the tooling around on on its own can cause all the problems. So as well as the inherent risk of the hydraulic kit failing. So occasionally we see catastrophic tool failure. Is, which have really high potential severity, you know, sort of tensioner heads ejecting or crush injuries from Tor. So that is really a key focus for our customers, just to [00:04:00] keep their teams safe, but also you have to be the cost effective and the the major cost benefit we allow is that we don’t have to revisit every bolt and every turbine like you’d have to do if you were retyping. So we believe there’s something of the order of a million pounds per installed gigawatt saving. By moving from a routine REIT uh, maintenance strategy to a focused condition based inspection, you significantly reduce the amount of intervention you make and keep your turbines running more and reduce the boots on the ground on the turbine. So three real kind of, um, key. Benefits for people adopting our technology  Allen Hall: because we routinely see tower bolts being reworked or retention depending on who the manufacturer is. And I’m watching this go on. I’m like, why are [00:05:00] we doing this? It seems, or the 10% rule, we’re tighten 10% this year, and they’ll come back and see how it’s going. That’s a little insane, right, because you’re just kind of. Tensioning bolts up to see if one of them has a problem and then you just do more of them and we’re wasting so much time because echo bolts figured this out years ago. You don’t need to do that. You can tell what the tension is in a bolt ultrasonically, which was the original technology, the first gen I’ll call it, uh, that you could tell the length of the bolt. If the length of the bolt is correct within certain parameters, you know that it is tension properly. If it’s shrunk, that probably means it’s not tensioned properly. That’s a huge advantage because you can’t physically see it. And I know I’ve seen technicians go, oh, I could take a hammer and I can tell you which ones are not tensioned properly wrong. Wrong. And I think that’s where equitable comes in because you’re actually applying a a lot of science simply [00:06:00] to a complex problem because the numbers are so big. Pete Andrews: Yeah, I mean that, that, that’s been the real. Driving force between our offering is to simplify it. So ultimately we’re based on a non-destructive testing technique. It’s an ultrasonic thickness checking technique, but when from the non-destructive testing background, it’s crack detection, people have time, they can be, it’s a very precision measurement. People have to be trained in the wind industry. We’re trying to inspect. A thousand, 2000 bolts a day at scale. It’s a completely different, um, ask of the technology and the way the technology has been developed historically has required too much technician expertise, too much configuration and set up time, and hasn’t delivered on the, on the speed that’s needed to be efficient in wind. And that’s where our bolt wave [00:07:00] unit we’ve, that we’ve developed over the last. 18 months, let’s say, where all of our focus has gone to make it as slick and as easy for a client technician to pick up with minimal training. It’s through an iOS interface. Everyone understands it intuitively. Um, it’s a bit like using the camera app on your phone. You know, you’re just hitting measure, measure, measure, measure, measure 10 seconds a bolt as you move the, um, ultrasonic transducer across, and then the data gets moved. Automatically to the cloud, to our bolt platform. And customers can view it in near real time. The engineer in the office can see the inspections happened. They can see if there are any anomalous bolts, and then there can be communication there and then whether an intervention is necessary. So it’s sort of really changed the way our customers think about managing their, um. They’re bolted joints.  Joel Saxum: Well, I think these are, these are the kind of innovations that we love to see, right? Because [00:08:00] we regularly talk about a shortage of technicians, and this isn’t, I was just learning this this week too, like this is not a wind problem. This is a everywhere problem. No matter what industry you’re in. Use are short of technicians. But we’re seeing like a tool like this is developed to be able to scale that workforce as well. Right. You don’t need to be an NDT level three expert to go and do these things. ’cause there’s a very few of those people out there. Right? Right. We know the NDT people, a lot of NDT people, and that’s a hard skillset to come by. Yeah. This can be put in the hands of any technician. Yeah, a quick training course. Just, Hey, this is how you use your iPhone. You can check Instagram, right? Yeah. Okay. You can off figure. Yeah, have fun. See you at lunch. Um, but they can, they can make this happen, right? They can go do these inspections and you’re getting that, that, uh, data collected in the field. Centralized back to an SME that’s looking at it and you don’t have to put that SME in the field and try to scale their ability to go and travel and do all these things. They can be in the office making sure that the, the QA, QC is done correctly. I love it. I think that that’s the way we need to go with a lot of things. [00:09:00]Uh, and you’re making it happen.  Pete Andrews: Yeah. And it’s a real kind of. F change in mindset for us. So originally when we started Ebot, we were using third party hardware. Yeah. Which required a bit of that specialism. Yeah. A bit of care about the setup of the project, getting multiple parameters configured before you got going. And it wasn’t really something we could put in the hands of a customer.  Joel Saxum: Yeah.  Pete Andrews: Which meant Ebot scale was limited to what our own team could go and do, and regionally as well. You know, so we’re UK based. Probably 60% of our customers are uk, but now we have this Northern Europe offshore wind is obviously on our doorstep, but then increasingly we’ve done more and more in North America, so we’ve probably been to five or six sites now in North America and expect that to be a growth market because we can, we can now ship the devices over there, give some virtual training help. Uh, [00:10:00] people set themselves up and then that opens up that market, you know, so it’s been a real change in strategy for us, but has allowed us to have far more impact than we otherwise would just try to be a pure service.  Allen Hall: Well, let’s talk about the big problem in the states of a minute, which are the root bushing or inserts that are loose in some blades. When you lose that pushing, you also lose the tension on the bolt that can be measured. Is that something you’re getting involved with quite a bit now because of just trying to determine how many bolts are affected and, and where we are on the safety scale of can we run this turbine or not? Is that something that EE bolt’s been looking into? Pete Andrews: Yeah, absolutely. So I, I’d say there’s sort of two halves of what we do. There’s the, there’s the bulk wholesale monitoring of. Typically static connections to eliminate this routine retitling where it’s not needed typically, typically. But then we have these edge cases of certain [00:11:00] connections and certain platforms that have known bolt integrity problems, and we are working with clients to really, um, manage those integrity risks. Blade stud is an absolute classic, you know, sort of, I think almost every turbine OEM on some, if not all of their platforms has got. Embedded risk into their blades, pitch bearing connections. Um, so yeah, exactly as you said, our customers are using the technology for two things really. One is to ensure the bolts have been tightened to the preload that was specified or the target window. And quite often we find there is an opportunity to increase the preload and therefore increase the resistance to fatigue failure. So. You know, particularly on older sites where the bolts perhaps not in the condition they were on day one. Well, they definitely won’t be. Um, when people have gone and retti them, they haven’t got back to where they, they should be.[00:12:00] So we can prove that and increase a bit of that resilience, but then also start to look for the segments around the joint where, um, the bolt might start loosening or failures are occurring, and find areas where they can really hone in. And actively manage risk. And that sort of leads to what we’ve decided to do for the next year, particularly with Blade Stud in mind, is evolve this technology. So whilst it’s also measuring the elongation, we will do a defect scan at the same time. So you’ll monitor your blade stu, um, connection and we’re hoping that we can set the device to flag to you there and then. We believe this bulk has got a defect while you’re here, get it changed out before it fails and, and all the knock on problems, um, from there. Joel Saxum: So what you’re just pointing to there is a, is a workflow, right? So to me that is typical [00:13:00] of some of the amazing, innovative companies in the UK that I’ve run into throughout my career. And that is, you’re a group of SMEs, you know, bolted connections. That’s what you do, right? But then you’re like, hey. If there’s a tool, we could make a tool that would make our lives a bit easier, then it’s like, well, we could make the entire industry’s lives a little bit easier as well. So let’s iterate on that. And now you’re able to send these kits around the world to look at these things. Hey, you have a problem with this specific model. We can help you with this because we know the failure mode and we know how to look for it. Let’s do that for you. Also here, you’re doing bolt bulk measurements. We got that for you. But it all kind of flows back to the fact that Echo Bolt is a team. A bolted connection, SMEs that are making tools and being able to also provide consulting if need be. Yeah. Right. Um, to, to an entire industry. And I think that, um, this is my take on it, right? Wind is stop number one. I think you guys are gonna do a fantastic year, but there’s a lot of, uh, opportunity out there in bolted [00:14:00] connections as well. Allen Hall: A tremendous amount blade bolts being broken from defects in the crystalline structure. What appears to be a more. Rapidly developing issue across fleets that I’ve seen. I went to a farm this summer and the number of blade bolts that were there on the table that were broken on the conference room table was And the whiteboard office. Yeah. Yeah. This one,  Joel Saxum: this one.  Allen Hall: Your hard head is not gonna protect you from this one. It’s, it’s, it was this, um, I couldn’t imagine the amount of time they were spending hunting these things down. And of course, the only way they were finding ’em was they were broken. You like to catch ’em before they break because it becomes  Joel Saxum: a safety risk. Just not too long ago we saw an insurance case where there’s an RCA going on and it is pointing at an entire tower came down. Right. And it is pointing at a mid, mid tower section bolted connection. How often do you guys run into those problems? Or are you contacted by insurance companies or anything like that to, to take a peek at those? Pete Andrews: We haven’t done anything directly for insurance [00:15:00]companies, but we have been engaged by. Engineering consultancies that are doing RCA type activities. Okay. Um, things like at the end of defect liability periods mm-hmm. A customer has, has seen, they’ve had a lot of, uh, issues from an OEM, maybe an OE EM has offered a modification or an upgrade, assessing whether that upgrade is actually solved the problem or not. We’ve got involved in, um, but the tower. Issue specifically. It’s actually very rare we find, um, problems with tower connections, but where we do is often where they haven’t achieved good flange flatness, ah, during installation or the bolts have been, let’s say, left out in the elements for a period and lubrication has been, has deteriorated before the bolt’s been installed. So there are cases out there, but what I would say is. [00:16:00] To think about your whole life cycle, so ensure the bolt’s installed correctly and we can help with that with a QA to say, yes, this torque or tightening method has got you to the load that you want. Do some through life monitoring, but often if you install it correctly, it will it’s operational life. You will have very little concern. But then in the UK market, we’re increasingly getting involved again at the end of life, right? Life extension where life extension turbines are 20, 25 years old. How does an operator make a decision to carry on running without replacing all bots? Um, and that’s where increasingly we being asked to use the technologist just to say, actually the joint is fine. The bolts have run in a good, um, operational envelope. Run them on. Don’t replace a hundred percent of them like you might have been recommended to from your, um, yeah. Turbine supplier side. [00:17:00] Allen Hall: So Pete, if someone’s doing a repower where they’re basically putting a new one in the cell on an existing tower, they’re making a lot of assumptions about all the bolts from the ground up that they’re gonna be okay. And I know we’re talking about that. We’re in a lot of installations where. If the turbine has gone through a repowered or two. So now those bolts are 20 years old. Yeah. And trying to get ’em to  Joel Saxum: 30 35. 35  Allen Hall: 40. Yeah. I don’t know what they’re doing. By those bolted connections. Are they just like replacing the bolts? Are they hitting ’em with a hammer again? Is that the, yeah,  Pete Andrews: I mean, they might replace ’em, but you’ve got a problem with the foundation bolts. ’cause they’re obviously often anchor bolts set into concrete, so you have to reuse them and. With the projects, both in wind and in process power industry with the chimney stacks to try and ascertain whether foundation bolts that are set into concrete are still suitable for operations. So look for corrosion losses, look for [00:18:00] defects. Um, so yeah, they’re all things that need thinking about before you just make the snap decision to repower. But I think  Joel Saxum: a lot of that, uh, going back to a couple minutes ago, you were talking about at the commissioning phase, making sure that you have proper qa, QC of how these things were installed day one, and then making sure that before commissioning of a turbine, they’re checked. I think that’s really important. We’re starting to see that in the blade world now too, where we’ve been talking about it for a long time, and now when you talk to operators, they’re like, we’re getting inspections done on the blades before they’re hung. Or at the factory before they’re hung. After they’re hung. Like they want a good foundation baseline. Are you seeing that in the bolted connection world too?  Pete Andrews: Yes. Sort of. It’s just emerging for us. What we’ve found is, so most of our customers are in the operational phase ’cause they are the ones feeling the pain. Yeah. Of the routine retitling work. When they do major components, they sometimes engage us to come and say, can you check [00:19:00] before and after the blade was removed? What was it? Before we took it off from a a bolt load perspective, what is it afterwards? Can you then recheck after 500 hours When we retalk it? And what we’ve seen there often is the initial install hasn’t got them to where they needed to be and they’ve had to go and do the break in maintenance or the 500 hour REIT to get the bolts to the right load. So one of the questions that we have is whether. Some of the defects are actually being initiated very early on in that initial running in period and whether if, if actually you’d taken the time at, at the point of assembly to make sure you were correct, whether that avoids some of the knock on integrity concerns. So yeah, it’s interesting area.  Allen Hall: Well, bolts are what hold wind turbines together and you better know you have the right. Tension and [00:20:00] torque on your bolts to get to the lifetime of the wind turbine and to, and to check it once in a while. And I know there’s a lot of operators I can think of right now in the United States that are sort of doing that job somewhat. I I think they have missed out on opportunities to save a lot of money and to call it echo bolt. How do people get ahold of you? Because that’s one thing I run into all the time. Like, Hey, hey, you gotta talk to Ebol, call Ebol. How do they get ahold of you?  Pete Andrews: So the easiest ways are via our website. Which is echo bolt.com. Um, LinkedIn, you’ll find us at Echo Bolt on LinkedIn. Reach out. Our email would be info@cobolt.com. So any of those route and you’ll, uh, reach me and the team and more than happy to speak to you about any of your faulting concerns or problems. We are, uh, yeah, we’re passionate about your problems.  Allen Hall: Pete, thank you so much for being on this podcast. I, it is great to actually see you in person and see the bolt wave technology. It’s really [00:21:00] impressive. So anybody out there that needs bolt tensioning to checking tools, you need to get ahold of Pete at Echo Bolt and get started today. Thank you Pete. Thanks guys. It’s great to be here.

Doing more, faster, better with less has become the permanent setting in modern business. Post-pandemic, with tighter budgets, higher customer expectations, and AI speeding up competitors, leaders can't rely on "the boss with the whiteboard marker" to magically produce genius ideas on demand. You need a repeatable innovation system that draws out creativity from the whole organisation—especially the people closest to customers. Below is a practical nine-step innovation process leaders can run again and again, so innovation becomes a habit—not a lucky accident.  How do leaders define "success" before trying to innovate? Innovation gets messy fast unless everyone is crystal clear on what "good" looks like. Step One is Visualisation: define the goal, the "should be" case, and what success looks like in concrete terms—customer outcomes, cost, quality, time, risk, or growth. In practice, this is where executives at firms like Toyota or Unilever would translate strategy into a shared target: "Reduce onboarding time from 14 days to 3," or "Increase repeat purchase by 10% in APAC by Q4." Compare that with many SMEs where the goal is vague ("be more innovative") and the team sprints hard in random directions. Do now (mini-summary): Write a one-sentence "should be" target and 3 measurable success indicators (KPI, timeline, customer impact). Align the team before you chase ideas. What's the fastest way to gather the right facts without killing creativity? Great ideas come from great inputs, and Step Two is Fact Finding—collect data before opinions. Leaders should separate "facts" from "feelings" by digging into who/what/when/where/why/how. This is where many organisations discover their measurement systems are weak—or worse, wrong. In the US, you might lean on product analytics, A/B testing, and voice-of-customer tools. In Japan, you'll often combine frontline observation (genba thinking) with structured reporting—useful, but sometimes filtered by hierarchy. Either way, don't judge yet. Just get the evidence: customer complaints, churn reasons, sales cycle delays, defect rates, staff turnover, and time wasted in approvals. Do now (mini-summary): Collect 10 hard facts (numbers, patterns, examples) and 10 "customer voice" quotes. No solutions yet—just reality. How do you frame the real problem so you don't solve the wrong thing? The way you state the problem determines the quality of the ideas you'll get. Step Three is Problem (or Opportunity) Finding: clarify what's actually holding you back, where resources leak, and what success constraints exist. This is harder than it sounds. Ask five people the main problem and you'll get eight opinions—especially in matrixed multinationals or fast-moving startups. Use smart problem framing techniques: "How might we…?", "What's the bottleneck?", "If we fixed one thing this quarter, what would move the needle?" Compare Japan vs the US here: US teams may jump to action quickly; Japan teams may seek consensus early. Both can miss the root cause if the framing is sloppy. Do now (mini-summary): Rewrite your problem three ways: customer-impact, process-bottleneck, and cost-leakage. Pick the clearest, most actionable version. How do you run ideation so the loud people don't crush the good ideas? Step Four is Idea Finding, and the golden rule is: no judgement, chase volume, and do it in silence. This is where most leaders accidentally sabotage innovation—someone blurts an idea, the "bolshie" confident voices start critiquing, and the timid thinkers shut down. Silent idea generation (think brainwriting rather than brainstorming) helps deeper thinkers contribute and reduces status bias—critical in hierarchical cultures and in teams where junior staff defer to seniority. If you want better ideas, ask the people closest to the coal face: new hires, customer support, frontline sales, and the group that best matches your buyers' profile. Often they see problems the C-suite never touches. Do now (mini-summary): Run 10 minutes of silent brainwriting: each person writes 10 ideas. No talking. Then collect and cluster ideas by theme. How do leaders choose the best ideas without politics or "rank wins"? Step Five is Solution Finding—now you're allowed to judge, but you must judge fairly. The risk here is predictable: seniority dominates, juniors defer, and the "easy consensus" becomes a polite rubber stamp. Use a structured selection method: score ideas against agreed criteria (impact, effort, speed, risk, customer value). Borrow from frameworks like Stage-Gate, Lean Startup (testable hypotheses), and even RICE scoring (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort). Compare sectors: in B2B, feasibility and implementation risk often weigh more; in consumer markets, speed and customer delight can dominate. The point is to remove the "who said it" factor. Do now (mini-summary): Build a simple 4-criteria scorecard and rank the top 10 ideas. Make scoring anonymous if hierarchy is distorting decisions. How do you get buy-in and actually execute innovation in the real world? Ideas don't win—execution wins, and Steps Six to Nine turn creativity into results. Step Six is Acceptance Finding: sell the idea internally for time, money, and people. Step Seven is Implementation: define who does what by when, with budget and resources. Step Eight is Follow Up: check progress early so you don't discover the team is zigging when you needed zagging. Step Nine is Evaluation: did it work, was it worth it, and what did we learn? In 2025-era organisations, this is also where AI can help: drafting business cases, mapping risks, creating implementation plans, and summarising learnings—without replacing leadership accountability. Startups might run faster experiments; conglomerates might need governance and change management. Either way, the process keeps you moving. Do now (mini-summary): Assign an owner, set a 30-day milestone, and define the success metric. Review weekly. Capture learnings as you go. Final wrap-up A surprising number of companies still have no shared system for generating ideas—so innovation depends on mood, meetings, or the loudest voice in the room. A repeatable nine-step process creates better ideation, stronger decision-making, and cleaner execution. Run it consistently, and innovation becomes part of your organisational DNA—not a once-a-year workshop. Quick next steps for leaders Pick one business pain point and run Steps 1–4 in a 60-minute session this week. Use silent idea generation to protect the deeper thinkers. Score ideas with a simple rubric to avoid politics. Pilot one idea in 30 days, then evaluate and repeat. FAQs Is brainstorming or brainwriting better for innovation? Brainwriting usually beats brainstorming because it reduces groupthink and status bias. Silent idea generation produces more ideas and more diverse ideas in most teams. How long does the nine-step innovation process take? You can run Steps 1–5 in a half-day and Steps 6–9 over 30–90 days. The timeline depends on complexity, risk, and resources. What if leadership won't support the idea? Treat Step Six like a sales process—build a business case and show trade-offs. If you can't win resources, scale the idea down into a testable pilot.   Author credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

Dark Web Stories | Paranormal Podcast This week, we dive deep into the hidden corners of the internet to explore the Dark Web—what it is, how it works, and the disturbing realities lurking beneath the surface. We begin by breaking down the structure of the internet itself, explaining how the surface web we use daily represents only 5-10% of all online content, while the deep web makes up 90-95%, and the dark web accounts for a mere 0.1% of sites—yet it's specifically designed for complete anonymity. We also discuss the technical side of accessing this hidden network, including how to download the Tor browser, the importance of using a VPN for protection, and the concept of "onion routing" that wraps your data in layers of encryption as it bounces through volunteer-run servers across the globe. While we acknowledge there are legitimate uses for the Dark Web—such as helping journalists and activists in oppressive regimes communicate securely and bypass government censorship—we make it clear that over half of the Dark Web is estimated to be dedicated to illegal activities, from marketplaces selling drugs, weapons, and stolen data to far more sinister operations. The second half of our episode takes a darker turn as we share real accounts and disturbing discoveries from those who've ventured into these digital shadows, including websites selling human organs for cryptocurrency, platforms offering "human meat" with the slogan "for those with taste," and hitman services listing everything from drive-by shootings to arson. We recount a chilling story from a Reddit user who befriended someone in a Dark Web chat room known for posting extreme gore content, only to later learn the person was fatally shot in a police raid after kidnapping a missing woman and performing an ice pick lobotomy on her to keep her compliant for his videos.

El 30 de julio de 1995 Josep Montané, Sansa, aparece muerto en su casa 5 meses después de que lo hiciesen único dueño de toda la montaña. Carles Porta revive la oscura leyenda de Tor, un pequeño pueblo de apenas trece casas estratégicamente situado en la frontera entre Cataluña y Andorra, marcado por la violencia y tres asesinatos entre vecinos. El periodista Carles Porta comenzó a investigar los crímenes en 1997 y, casi tres décadas después, comparte en esta serie documental todo lo que descubrió sobre este enigmático lugar. Durante más de un siglo, Tor ha sido escenario de una encarnizada disputa por la propiedad de la montaña. La explotación de la madera, el contrabando o los intereses ligados a una posible estación de esquí alimentaron conflictos y rivalidades que acabaron convirtiendo Tor en un auténtico ‘far west’ pirenaico, protagonizado por la envidia y la ambición de sus habitantes.

Der Langläufer Pluto steht jetzt schon seit Anfang Dezember in Tor 41 und bringt das Thema der Minderung in unser Leben. Nachdem es erst mit Pluto in Tor 60 nicht mehr Vorwärts ging - geht es jetzt auch noch rückwärts. Das glauben viele. Aber so ist es nicht. In der heutigen Podcastfolge setze ich den aktuellen Transit in den Kontext der Zeit und erkläre dir, warum es genau die Minderung ist, die die Evolution unserer Erde inkl. uns als Menschheit voranbringen wird und uns den entscheidenden Rückenwind geben wird, um in der neuen Zeit anzukommen. Das bedeutet nämlich nicht nur einen fokussierteren Umgang mit unseren Ressourcen, sondern einen ganz neuen Zugang zu unserer Wahrnehmung. Und dieser wiederum gibt uns sichere Navigation in einer Realität, in der wir unseren Augen nicht mehr trauen können. Es ist tatsächlich so, dass sich genau vor uns jetzt ein ganz neues Bewusstheitsfeld öffnet, von dem wir alle profitieren können, weil es uns eine neue Art des Erlebens ermöglicht. Wenn Du gerade fühlst, dass der Druck sehr hoch ist und du damit beschäftigt bist, was jetzt wie in die Umsetzung kommen soll, ist diese Folge für dich. Du wirst Klarheit darüber bekommen, warum jetzt nicht die Zeit der Aktion ist, in der du deine Energie in multiple Projekte und Themen vergeudest, sondern die Zeit, in der du erkennen darfst, welche der vor die liegenden Themen nichts Seifenblasen sind und was wirklich Substanz hat. Ich wünsche dir viele gute Erkenntnisse und freue mich, wenn du dich mit einem Like oder einem Kommentar meldest oder diese Folge an jemanden weitersendest, der die Impulse gebrauchen kann. Wenn Du Lust hast, mit mir am 23.01. auf die Human Design Reise zu gehen, gelangst Du hier zum Living Your Design Kurs.

Leaders today are stuck in a constant three-way tug-of-war: time, quality, and cost. In the post-pandemic, hybrid-work era (2020–2025), the pressure doesn't ease—tech just lets us do more, faster, and the clock keeps yelling. This is a practical, leader-grade guide to getting control of your calendar without killing your standards or your people. Why does leadership time management feel harder now, even with better technology? It feels harder because technology increases speed and volume, so your workload expands to fill the space. Email, chat, dashboards, CRMs, and "quick calls" create the illusion of efficiency while quietly multiplying decisions and interruptions. In startups, that looks like context-switching between selling, hiring, and shipping. In large organisations—think Japan-based multinationals versus US tech firms—it becomes meetings, approvals, and stakeholder alignment. Either way, the result is the same: you're busy all day, but the important work stays parked. Answer card / Do now: Audit your week for "speed traps" (messages, meetings, micro-requests). Eliminate or cap the top two. What is the "Tyranny of the Urgent," and how does it wreck leader performance? The Tyranny of the Urgent is when urgent tasks bully important tasks off your schedule—until you're permanently firefighting. You end up reacting all day: chasing escalations, answering pings, and rescuing problems that should have been prevented. This is where burnout risk climbs and productivity drops—especially in people-heavy roles like sales leadership, operations, and client service. Leaders often say, "I don't have time to plan," but that's exactly how the urgent wins. The urgent will always show up; your job is to stop it running the company. Answer card / Do now: Name today's "urgent bully." Decide: delete, delegate, defer, or do—then move one important task back onto the calendar. How do I prioritise like a serious leader (not just make a chaotic to-do list)? Prioritising means ranking tasks by impact, not emotion—then doing them in that order. A scribbled list isn't a system. Leaders need a repeatable method for capture, ranking, and execution. Use simple impact questions: Will this protect revenue? Reduce risk? Improve customer outcomes? Build capability? In Japan, where consensus and quality are prized, leaders can over-invest in perfection; in the US, speed can dominate. The sweet spot is clarity: define "done," define the deadline, and define the owner. Answer card / Do now: Write your top 5 for tomorrow, rank them 1–5, and commit to finishing 1–2 before opening email/chat. What is the 4-box matrix and which quadrant should leaders live in? The best quadrant for leaders is "important but not urgent"—because that's where planning, thinking, and prevention happen. This is the Eisenhower/Covey style matrix in plain clothes: Important + Urgent: crises, deadlines, major issues (live here too long = stress + burnout) Important + Not urgent: strategy, coaching, planning, process improvement (your success engine) Not important + Urgent: interruptions, low-value requests (minimise and delegate) Not important + Not urgent: digital junk time (limit ruthlessly) Big firms (Toyota-style operational excellence) and fast movers (Rakuten-style pace) both win when leaders protect Quadrant 2 time. Answer card / Do now: Block 60–90 minutes this week for "Important/Not Urgent" work—and guard it like a client meeting. How do I stop low-priority work and social media from stealing my day? You stop it by making "wasted time" visible and socially awkward—then replacing it with intentional breaks.Leaders often underestimate the drag of "just checking" feeds, news, or random videos. It's not the minutes; it's the mental fragmentation. If you need a break, take a break that restores you: a 30-minute walk, a short workout, a proper lunch, or a reset chat with someone who energises you. In high-output cultures across Asia-Pacific and Europe, the smartest leaders build recovery into the week because it protects decision quality. Answer card / Do now: Put friction on distractions (log out, remove apps, notifications off). Replace with one "recovery break" you actually schedule. What tactical system works: daily task lists, time blocking, delegation, or batching? It's all four—stacked into one simple operating rhythm: list, block, protect, batch, delegate. Start the day with a written, prioritised list, then time-block the top items by making an appointment with yourself. Protect that time as aggressively as you would protect a client meeting. Next: delegate "not important but urgent" tasks where possible, and batch similar work to stay in flow—calls together, approvals together, email twice a day, admin in one chunk. This reduces ramp-up time and context switching, which is a silent killer in leadership roles. Answer card / Do now: Choose one batching rule for next week (e.g., email at 11:30 and 16:30 only). Tell your team so expectations reset. Conclusion: the leader's real edge is intentional time investment Time management for leaders isn't about being "busy." It's about choosing where your time goes so you get better outcomes with less chaos. The urgent will always knock. Your job is to build a system that keeps the important work moving—planning, coaching, prevention, and decisions—so your team isn't living in crisis mode. Quick next steps for leaders (this week) Block one Quadrant 2 session (strategy/planning) and defend it. Create a daily top-5 list and finish 1–2 items before messages. Delegate one "urgent but not important" task permanently. Implement one batching rule for communications. Track your time for 3 days and delete your biggest "time thief". Optional FAQs Yes—time tracking is worth it, because it shows you the truth, not your intentions. Even three days of tracking can reveal where meetings, messages, and busywork are leaking value. Yes—delegation can reduce quality short term, but it increases capability long term. Use clear "definition of done," checklists, and feedback loops to lift standards while distributing load. No—planning doesn't slow you down; it prevents rework and constant firefighting. A small investment in planning typically saves hours of avoidable churn.

Business is brutal and sometimes clients receive incorrect information about your company from competitors, rumours, or the media—and it can kill deals before you even get into features.  Why do misperceptions about a company derail sales so fast? Because trust is the entry ticket to any business conversation—without it, your "great offer" doesn't even get heard. If a buyer suspects your firm is unstable, unethical, or incompetent, they'll filter everything you say as "sales spin" and you'll feel resistance no matter how good the solution is. This is especially sharp in relationship-heavy markets like Japan, where reputation risk is taken seriously, but it happens everywhere—Australia, the US, Europe—because buyers fear being blamed for a bad vendor choice. The worst part is misperceptions are often hidden: in strong relationships a client might tell you what they've heard, but in new relationships they may never mention it while silently disengaging. Do now: Treat "reputation risk" as a normal obstacle, not a rare exception—assume misperceptions may exist and plan to surface them early.  What's a real example of reputation damage caused by misinformation? A single error can wipe out trust at scale, and recovery can take years. A famous case involved a Japanese TV news report in 1985 that linked a wine adulteration scandal to "Australia," when the scandal actually involved "Austria"—a mix-up made easier because the country names sound similar in Japanese. The result was devastating: Australian wine sales in Japan collapsed and took a long time to recover. That story is a reminder that "fake news" doesn't need to be malicious to be damaging; sometimes it's a linguistic slip, a competitor's whisper campaign, or a lazy assumption repeated as "fact." In modern terms (as of 2025), misinformation spreads faster via social media and industry chat groups, so the impact can be immediate. Do now: Collect 2–3 "reassurance proof points" (stability, client results, certifications) you can deploy if a rumour appears.  How do you uncover negative perceptions the buyer isn't saying out loud? Ask directly, gently—and then shut up. The simplest line is: "So what are your perceptions about our organisation?" Then don't add a single extra word. Silence is the tool. If you soften it with excuses or explanations, you reduce the chance they'll tell you the truth. This matters because you can't fix what you can't see. Many salespeople are far too optimistic and assume the buyer starts neutral-to-positive. In reality, the buyer may have heard something ugly from a rival, read something outdated online, or had a bad past experience with someone "like you." Your job is to draw it out early, before you waste time presenting to a sceptic. Do now: Add the "perceptions question" to your first-meeting checklist and practise staying silent for 5–10 seconds after asking it.  What should you say when the buyer shares a negative belief (without getting defensive)? Don't argue—use a neutral "cushion" to buy thinking time. When a buyer says something negative, your instinct is to correct them fast. That's dangerous: defensive reactions make your mouth outrun your brain and you can say the wrong thing. A cushion is a neutral statement that neither agrees nor disagrees, and it lets you stay calm and professional. Think: "I see," "That's helpful to know," or "Thanks for sharing that." Then you choose your pathway based on what they said. This works across cultures: in Japan it protects harmony and face; in Australia and the US it signals maturity and confidence. Do now: Write 3 cushion phrases you can say naturally, and ban yourself from instant "No, that's wrong…" reactions.  What are the three best ways to respond: agree, dissociate, or correct? Pick the response that matches the type of misperception—partial truth, social proof gap, or factual error. Agree (with clarification): If it was true in the past, acknowledge it and update the reality (e.g., systems upgraded, issue eliminated). Dissociate (social proof): Show that other credible clients worked with you and got results—implying the fear didn't stop them. Correct (evidence): If it's factually wrong, provide hard proof to remove the concern. The skill is not choosing "the nicest" option—it's choosing the right option. If you try to "correct" something that's emotional or reputation-based without rapport, you can make them dig in harder. Do now: Build a mini playbook: one Agree line, one Dissociate line, and one Correct-with-evidence pattern you can reuse.  After you neutralise the misperception, how do you rebuild credibility and move forward? Shift into positive territory by highlighting your most relevant USP and expanding their view of your strengths—without turning it into a pitch. Once the concern is handled, you reinforce why you're the best partner by selecting the USP that fits their situation (not your favourite USP). This forces you to do your research: you may have many differentiators, but you have limited "face time," so bring the big guns. Then widen their understanding of what you can do—buyers often pigeonhole you into a narrow category based on outdated impressions. Expand the scope carefully: more capability, more depth, more proof—still conversational, not a monologue. Do now: Choose one "best-fit USP" for the buyer and prepare a 30-second credibility expansion that feels informative, not salesy.  Quick checklist: Dealing with misperceptions (copy/paste) Ask: "What are your perceptions about our organisation?" (and stay silent)  Use a cushion (neutral pause phrase)  Choose the right route: Agree / Dissociate / Correct  Present proof (not opinions) when correcting  Reinforce: best-fit USP + expand strengths (no hard sell)  Conclusion: what salespeople should do now Misperceptions are part of the rough-and-tumble of business. The naïve approach is hoping the buyer "probably thinks well of us." The professional approach is drawing it out early, handling it calmly, and then rebuilding trust with relevant proof. When you do this well, you don't just save deals—you protect your reputation and stop competitors (or random misinformation) from writing your story for you.  FAQs How do I stop getting defensive when buyers criticise my company? Use a neutral cushion first, then choose agree, dissociate, or correct. It buys time and prevents reactive arguments.  What if the buyer won't tell me what they've heard? Ask gently and then stay silent. The silence is what often prompts honesty.  When should I correct misinformation with evidence? When it's factually wrong and you can provide hard proof.Otherwise, clarify or use social proof first.  Author Bio Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

¿La ansiedad no te deja vivir? Descubre el secreto del Rebe de Modzitz para "cerrar la maleta" de las preocupaciones y cómo su ingenio burló a los soviéticos para salvar a miles de judíos.

When you've got a dozen priorities, meetings, emails, and "urgent" requests hitting you at once, the real problem usually isn't effort—it's focus. This is a simple, fast method to get your thinking organised, coordinate your work, and choose actions that actually improve results: build a focus map, then run each sub-topic through a six-step action template.  How do I get focused when I'm overwhelmed with too much work? You get better results by shrinking the chaos into one clear "area of focus," then organising everything else around it. In practice, overwhelm comes from competing directions—sales targets, KPIs, internal politics, client deadlines, hiring, and admin—all demanding attention at the same time. In Japan, this can be amplified by stakeholder-heavy coordination; in the US and Europe, it can be amplified by speed and constant context switching. Either way, your effort becomes scattered and poorly coordinated.  The fix is to pause briefly and decide: "What is the one thing (or two things) I need to improve most right now?" That becomes your anchor. Once you can name the focus, the brain stops thrashing and starts sorting. Do now: Write down the one or two words that define your key focus for this week.  What is a "focus map" and how do you make one quickly? A focus map is a one-page visual map: one central focus, surrounded by the sub-topics you need to improve. Put a small circle in the middle of the page and write your main focus inside (for example: "Better Time Management"). Then add related words that come to mind as surrounding circles—like planets around the sun—creating sub-categories you can work on.  This works because you already have the answers in your head; you just haven't "released" them into a structure. The visual element matters: arranging the circles stimulates thinking differently than typing a list in a notes app. It's fast, low-tech, and effective—especially for leaders toggling between deep work and constant interruption in a post-pandemic, hybrid world. Do now: Draw one central circle and add 6–10 surrounding circles of related sub-topics.  What should I put on my focus map (examples leaders actually use)? Use practical "better" themes—time, follow-up, planning, communication—then generate sub-categories that are behaviour-based. Common centre-circle themes include: Better Time Management, Better Follow-up, Better Planning, Better Communicator.  Example: if your centre circle is "Better Time Management," your surrounding circles might include: prioritisation, block time, procrastination, Quadrant Two focus (Eisenhower Matrix), to-do list, weekly goals, daily goals. This is where the method beats generic productivity advice. Instead of "be more organised," you can see the real levers: calendar blocking, priority choice, and the habit of starting the day with a ranked list. In an SME, this might be about protecting selling time; in a multinational, it may be about reducing meeting bloat and stakeholder drag. Do now: Choose one sub-category you can improve in 7 days (e.g., prioritisation).  What are the six steps to turn a focus map into action? The six steps force clarity: attitude → importance → new behaviour → desired result → vision alignment. After your focus map is complete, pick one sub-category (say, prioritisation) and run it through this template:  What has been my attitude in this area? Why is this important to me and my organisation? Specifically, what am I going to do about this differently? What results do I desire? How is this going to impact my Vision? This is essentially strategy on a page. It connects behaviour change to outcomes and makes it harder to stay vague. It also works across cultures: whether you're operating in Japan's consensus environments or in faster-moving US/Europe contexts, you still need a clear "why" and a specific "what next." Do now: Write answers for steps 1–3 today; do steps 4–5 tomorrow.  Can you show a completed example (so I can copy the format)? Yes—use the example below as a plug-and-play model for any topic you choose. For "Time Management" with the sub-category "Prioritisation," a completed version looks like this (edited only for formatting):  Area of focus: Time Management → Prioritisation Attitude: "I know I should be better organised…but I never get around to taking any action…because I don't choose activities based on priorities." Why important: "If I am better organised I can get more work done…focus on the prioritised areas of highest value…contribute more value to the organisation." What I'll do differently: buy an organiser; use to-do lists + a calendar; block time for highest value items; start each day by nominating tasks, then prioritising and working in that order. Desired result: spend best time on highest value tasks with greatest impact. Impact on vision: efficiency and effectiveness rise dramatically. Do now: Copy this structure and fill it in for your sub-category (block time, procrastination, weekly goals, etc.).  How do I use this system every week to get better results (not just once)? Repeat the map-and-template cycle weekly, focusing on one sub-category at a time until the habit "sticks." The magic is consistency: you can repeat the same process for block time, procrastination, Quadrant Two focus, to-do lists, weekly goals, daily goals—each becomes its own mini-improvement project.  Think of it like leadership development: you don't "fix productivity" once; you build a personal operating system. Some weeks will be chaotic (product launches, quarterly reporting, client crises), so you pick a small, controllable lever. Other weeks you can go deeper. This method is described as a go-to tool because it's fast, it goes deep, and it produces practical ideas you can apply immediately.  Do now: Schedule 15 minutes every Monday to create one focus map and choose one sub-category to improve.  Quick checklist (copy/paste) Choose 1 key focus (1–2 words).  Build a focus map (6–10 sub-circles).  Pick 1 sub-category for this week.  Run the six steps and define 1–2 new behaviours.  Review weekly; repeat with the next sub-category.  Conclusion Better results come from better-directed effort. The focus map gives you clarity fast, and the six steps turn that clarity into behaviour change tied to results and vision. If you try it once, you'll get insight. If you run it weekly, you'll build momentum.  FAQs A focus map is basically a mind map for execution. It moves you from "busy" to "clear" in minutes by visualising priorities.  Start with one sub-category, not the whole map. Results come from focusing on one lever (like prioritisation or block time) per week.  The six steps work because they force specifics. You can't hide behind vague intentions when you must name attitude, actions, results, and vision.  Author Credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

C'est une affaire qui secoue tout l'écosystème des cryptomonnaies et relance un débat explosif : où s'arrête la protection de la vie privée, et où commence la complicité criminelle ? Aux États-Unis, Keonne Rodriguez, développeur du portefeuille Bitcoin Samourai Wallet, vient d'être condamné à cinq ans de prison. Son crime ? Avoir conçu et exploité un outil jugé trop efficace pour garantir l'anonymat des transactions.Lancé en 2015, Samourai Wallet se présentait comme un portefeuille Bitcoin open source destiné à préserver la confidentialité financière de ses utilisateurs. En pratique, il reposait notamment sur une technique de « coin mixing », qui consiste à mélanger les transactions de plusieurs utilisateurs afin de rendre leur traçage extrêmement difficile. Un principe défendu par de nombreux militants de la vie privée… mais perçu par les autorités comme un facilitateur de criminalité. En avril 2024, les agents du FBI interpellent Rodriguez à son domicile. Le United States Department of Justice l'accuse d'exploitation d'un service de transfert monétaire non autorisé et de blanchiment d'argent. Selon l'enquête, plus de 237 millions de dollars de fonds criminels — issus de trafics de drogue, de fraudes, de marchés du darknet ou encore de contenus pédocriminels — auraient transité par l'infrastructure Samourai.La défense, elle, plaide la neutralité technologique. Rodriguez affirme n'avoir fait qu'écrire du code, sans contrôler l'usage qui en était fait. Mais les juges ont retenu plusieurs éléments aggravants : Samourai n'était pas un simple logiciel décentralisé. L'équipe opérait des serveurs indispensables au fonctionnement du service, prélevait des commissions sur chaque opération — environ 4,5 millions de dollars au total — et certains messages publics ou documents marketing visaient explicitement des acteurs des marchés « gris » ou illégaux. C'est là que la frontière se brouille. Contrairement à des outils comme Tor ou Signal, Samourai combinait centralisation, modèle économique et communication provocatrice. Pour le tribunal, l'intention ne faisait plus de doute. Le cofondateur et directeur technique William Hill a écopé de quatre ans de prison. L'affaire pourrait toutefois rebondir : Donald Trump a récemment évoqué la possibilité d'un réexamen du dossier en vue d'une grâce présidentielle. Quoi qu'il en soit, l'affaire Samourai Wallet fera date. Elle rappelle une leçon brutale : défendre la vie privée financière est une chose. Exploiter une infrastructure centralisée, rémunérée, et assumant d'attirer des usages criminels en est une autre. Dans l'Amérique actuelle, la ligne rouge est désormais très claire.

What does it take to return to the top of the ultra running world after major life changes and a "career-ending" surgery? Kaytlyn Gerbin knows. In this episode, Kaytlyn shares her journey from a scientist with a love for the outdoors to a world-class trail and ultra runner. Growing up active but without formal running experience, she discovered her talent in her mid-twenties and quickly fell in love with the 100-mile distance. Since then, she's set course records, tackled some of the most technical alpine trails in the Pacific Northwest, and stood on podiums at legendary races like UTMB, Western States 100, and Transgrancanaria. But Kaytlyn's story isn't just about running. It's about resilience, reinvention, and balance. After the birth of her daughter Era in 2024 and undergoing surgery to correct hip dysplasia—a procedure many thought would end her running career—Kaytlyn came back stronger than ever, winning the Cascade Crest 100 and taking on the epic 330km Tor des Geants race in Italy. In this episode, you'll hear about: How she discovered her running talent and found her passion for ultra distances Overcoming setbacks, starting over, and learning to meet herself where she is The mental strategies that help her tackle 100-mile races and multi-day alpine challenges Balancing motherhood with elite-level running Her plans and goals for 2026, including Hardrock 100 and UTMB Whether you're an aspiring ultra runner, a parent chasing big goals, or someone who loves stories of grit, perseverance, and adventure, Kaytlyn's story will inspire you to push your limits—on the trails and in life. Tune in to hear how Kaytlyn combines mountains, motherhood, and science-backed training to redefine what's possible, one long run at a time. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges?

Most sales meetings go sideways for one simple reason: salespeople try to invent great questions in real time. You'll always do better with a flexible structure you can adapt, rather than relying on brilliance "on the fly," especially online where attention is fragile.  Why should you design qualifying questions before meeting the client? Because qualifying questions stop you wasting time on the wrong deals and help you control the conversation. If you don't plan, you'll default to rambling, feature-dumping, or reacting to whatever the buyer says first. A light structure keeps you adaptable without sounding scripted: you set the parameters, then fill in the details as the conversation unfolds.  Answer card / Do now: Build a reusable "question bank" and adjust it per client instead of improvising everything live.  What is the "permission question" and why does it matter? The permission question earns consent to ask sensitive questions from someone who doesn't trust you yet. You're effectively asking a stranger to reveal weaknesses in their business—something people naturally resist—so you must frame it as: you've helped similar organisations, you may be able to help here too, but you need to ask a few questions to find out.  This is especially important in relationship-driven markets like Japan, and still crucial in Australia and the US where buyers are wary of pushy sellers. Permission lowers defensiveness and increases honesty. Answer card / Do now: Memorise one permission line you can say naturally on Zoom, phone, and in-person.  What "need questions" actually uncover the real problem? Start broad, then narrow—because the first issue they mention is often not the biggest one. A clean opener is: "What are some key issues for your business at the moment?" If they struggle to answer, prompt with a realistic scenario from similar clients (for example, sales performance in a virtual environment) and ask whether that's true for them or if they're satisfied. Then ask what other issues are priorities, so you don't anchor on the first answer and miss the real driver.  Answer card / Do now: Prepare 3 "prompt examples" (common issues) to help buyers respond when your question is too broad.  Which qualifying questions reveal the scale (quantity) and constraints (budget)? Use quantity questions to size the problem, and budget questions to test seriousness without triggering defensiveness. A quantity question gives you the scale, like: "How many salespeople do you have who could benefit…?" That helps you calibrate your recommendation. Budget can be asked directly ("How much have you allocated?"), but many buyers won't share it—especially early—so you can work indirectly from team size and solution scope to estimate what's realistic.  Answer card / Do now: Write one direct budget question and one indirect "scope-based" alternative you can use when they clam up.  How do you ask the authority question without making it awkward? Ask who else has the strongest input, framed as necessary to help them properly. Buying decisions usually involve multiple stakeholders now, so you need to identify who matters early. Use wording like: "In order for me to help you, may I ask, apart from you, who would have the most interest and input into the buying decision?" It's respectful, it doesn't challenge their status, and it surfaces the buying committee.  Answer card / Do now: Add the authority question to every first meeting agenda—no exceptions.  What is an agenda statement, and how does it help control the meeting? An agenda statement is a simple way to guide the meeting flow while still staying flexible. You remind them why the meeting matters, outline what you'd like to cover, and then ask if they want to add anything—so the agenda becomes shared, not imposed. A practical sequence is: check their familiarity with your company (to correct misconceptions), learn what they're doing now and what systems they use, clarify future goals, uncover challenges blocking those goals, and—if there's a match—discuss how you could work together. Then invite their additions.  The conversation won't go in perfect order, and that's fine—your job is to ensure the key questions get answered while you still have the chance.  Answer card / Do now: Use a 6-point agenda statement, get agreement, then work through your question bank calmly—even if the order changes.  Simple meeting structure you can copy Permission question (earn consent)  Need questions (broad → narrow)  Quantity (size the issue)  Budget (direct or indirect)  Authority (map stakeholders)  Agenda statement (control flow + invite additions)  Conclusion: what salespeople should do now Qualifying isn't "being clever"—it's being prepared. Build a structure, customise it to the client, and then stay adaptable in the moment. The sellers who win in 2025 are the ones who can guide the conversation without sounding scripted, earn permission before probing, and leave meetings with real decision clarity instead of vague friendliness.  FAQs What's the biggest mistake in sales discovery? Improvising questions under pressure instead of using a simple structure you can adapt.  Why add an agenda statement at the start? It sets shared expectations and reduces random detours, while still allowing flexibility.  What if the buyer won't discuss budget? Use indirect sizing questions (headcount, scope, rollout timing) to estimate what's realistic.  Author Bio Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

Bas Ouwehand, één van de telgen van de familie Ouwehand, is al jaren fan en verzamelaar van kerstmuziek en met name van jazz-bewerkingen van kerstliedjes. Daarbij blijkt hij een lichte voorkeur te hebben voor de ietwat ongebruikelijke en -laten we het maar eerlijk zeggen- een beetje ‘foute’ kerstmuziek. In die hoedanigheid was hij jarenlang de vaste leverancier van de playlist voor de kerst-uitzending van “All That Jazzz”, het wekelijkse radioprogramma over jazz en omstreken op radio 1Twente.  All That Jazzz is, door wijzigingen in het beleid van 1Twente, niet meer via de radio te beluisteren.

Die Bundesliga macht Winterpause und wir nutzen den Rückblick auf den 15. Spieltag für eine kleine Bilanz: Wer waren Spieler, Trainer und Fans des Halbjahres? Jens und Alex bauen sich den „perfekten“ Club der vergangenen Monate. Dabei schauen wir natürlich auch auf die Highlights des 15. Spieltags zurück. Ist Harry Kane aktuell sogar der beste Stürmer Europas? Mit seinem Tor beim Sieg des FC Bayern München in Heidenheim erreichte er die unglaubliche Marke von 100 Torbeteiligungen in der Bundesliga – im gerade mal 78. Spiel. Borussia Dortmund bleibt sich auch zum Ende des Jahres 2025 treu: das Spiel gegen Borussia Mönchengladbach ist nicht spektakulär aber erfolgreich. Statistisch sticht dabei Nico Schlotterbeck erneut heraus. Ist er aktuell der beste Dortmunder? Und wer sticht bei RB Leipzig und Bayer Leverkusen heraus? Bayer gewinnt das Topspiel ohne seine Africa-Cup-Stars auf überzeugende Art und Weise. Deutlich weniger Spektakel gab es auf diversen anderen Plätzen – drei Mal 0:0 bei Stuttgart gegen Hoffenheim, Augsburg gegen Werder und Mainz gegen St. Pauli. Es schaffen trotzdem Spieler der Teams in den „perfekten“ Club des Halbjahres von Alex und Jens. Und wer ist von Eintracht Frankfurt, die sich auf der letzten Rille gegen den HSV zum Remis gemüht hat, dabei? Von den Hamburgern hat sich zum Beispiel mal wieder Luka Vuskovic in den Vordergrund gespielt. Wird er in einem „perfekten“ Team stehen? Die Antworten auf diese Fragen gibt es in der aktuellen Folge des Bundesliga Updates. Viel Spaß beim Hören – und vielen Dank fürs Dabei sein! Habt alle schöne und erholsame Weihnachtstage und startet gut ins Jahr 2026!

"I think curiosity is very important. When you're curious about something, you listen." "You have to be at the forefront, not the back. You can't, hide behind and say, 'hey, you know, guys solve it', right?" "When they trust you, beautiful things happen."              "Ideas are welcome. You know, ideas are free. But it's got be data driven."  Tomo Kamiya is President Japan at PTC, a company known for parametric design and CAD-driven simulation that helps engineers model, test, and refine complex products digitally before manufacturing. He began his career in sales at Bosch, covering Kanagawa and Yamanashi with a highly autonomous, remote-work style that was ahead of its time, learning early that trust and relationship continuity—not brand alone—move outcomes in Japan. He later joined Dell during its disruptive growth era, moving from enterprise sales into marketing and broader regional responsibility, including supporting Korea marketing and later leading the server business, where his team hit number one market share in Japan. After a short consulting stint connected to Japan Telecom, he joined AMD to grow the business in Japan, then relocated to Singapore to run a broader South Asia remit and strategic customers. He subsequently led a wide Asia Pacific portfolio at D&M Holdings across multiple markets, navigating shifting consumer behaviour as subscription and streaming changed the fundamentals of product value. That experience led naturally into Adobe during its historic shift from perpetual software to subscription, where he led the Digital Media business in Japan (including Photoshop, Illustrator, and Acrobat) for almost a decade. Across this cross-industry arc, he has repeatedly adapted to business model change, regional cultural differences, and the practical realities of leading people in Japan—especially the need to listen deeply, build trust patiently, and step forward decisively when problems hit. Tomo Kamiya's leadership story is, at its core, a story about compressing complexity—first in products, then in organisations. At PTC, he sits at the intersection of engineering reality and digital abstraction: the ability to take something massive—a ship, an engine, an entire manufacturing system—and "frame" it into a screen so it can be simulated, stress-tested, and improved before any physical cost is incurred. That same instinct shows up in the way he talks about people and performance. In his earliest Bosch years, he learned that Japan's reliability culture does not eliminate the need for continuous trust-building; even a global brand can stall if the relationship energy disappears. His answer was to create value where the buyer's uncertainty lives—showing up, demonstrating, educating, and, as he put it, "sell myself," because credibility travels faster than product brochures. That bias for action stayed with him through Dell's high-velocity era, where "latest and the greatest" rewarded leaders who could anticipate market timing and organise teams around speed without losing discipline. Later, running regional remits outside Japan, he saw the contrast between Japan's "no defect" mindset and emerging markets that prioritised pace. Rather than treat one as right and the other as wrong, he learned to search for the productive middle ground: the discipline that prevents future failure, paired with the pragmatism that prevents paralysis. It is a useful lens for Japan, where uncertainty avoidance and consensus expectations can slow decisions unless the leader builds momentum through listening and clear intent. In his most practical leadership shift, an executive coach forced a hard look at his calendar: too much time on objectives, not enough time on people. The result was a deliberate reallocation toward one-on-ones, deeper listening, and clearer delegation—creating what amounts to a management operating system that improves decision speed because the leader knows what is really happening. He sees ideas as abundant but insists that investment requires decision intelligence: data points, ROI thinking, and a shared logic that gives teams confidence to commit. In Japan's consensus environment—where nemawashi and ringi-sho-style alignment often determine whether execution truly happens—his approach is to build trust through presence, make it safe for the "silent minority" to contribute, and then move decisively when critical moments arrive. Technology, including AI as a "co-pilot," can help leaders think through scenarios and prepare responses, but he remains clear that empathy and execution in the worst moments cannot be outsourced. The leadership standard, as he defines it, is simple and demanding: when things go south, step to the front. Q&A Summary What makes leadership in Japan unique? Leadership in Japan is shaped by trust-building, restraint, and the practical demands of consensus. Even when products are high quality and risk reduction is strong, outcomes often hinge on relationships and continuity. Japan's consensus culture—often expressed through nemawashi and ringi-sho-style alignment—means leaders must invest time in listening, building internal confidence, and demonstrating respect for the context that teams and customers protect. Why do global executives struggle? Global executives often arrive with a headquarters lens and try to "fix" what looks inefficient before understanding why it exists. When they change processes or people without learning the customer rationale, they trigger resistance and lose credibility. The gap is not intelligence; it is context. Japan requires deliberate time in the market and inside the organisation to decode what is really being optimised—often customer trust, stability, and long-term reliability. Is Japan truly risk-averse? Japan can appear risk-averse, but much of the behaviour is better described as uncertainty avoidance. The goal is to reduce surprises and protect relationships, not to avoid progress. Kamiya's early sales experience shows that buyers will pay for reliability when the cost of failure is high. The leadership challenge is to move forward while lowering uncertainty—through data, clear rationale, and predictable communication—rather than forcing speed without alignment. What leadership style actually works? The style that works is visible, empathetic, and action-oriented. Trust grows when leaders walk the floor, create everyday touchpoints, and listen in detail—especially because many Japanese employees will not speak up easily. At the same time, Kamiya argues that in critical moments—big decisions, business model shifts, major complaints—the leader must be "at the forefront," not hiding behind delegation. Delegation matters, but stepping forward in the hardest moments is what earns trust. How can technology help? Technology helps leaders compress complexity and make better decisions. In product terms, simulation and digital-twin style approaches reduce risk by testing before manufacturing. In leadership terms, data-driven thinking improves idea selection, investment confidence, and ROI clarity. AI can function as a co-pilot for scenario planning—offering options and framing responses—but it does not replace human judgement, empathy, or the social work of building consensus. Does language proficiency matter? Language matters because it shrinks distance. Full fluency may take years, but even small efforts signal respect and closeness, making it easier to build rapport and trust. Language is not just vocabulary; it is an everyday bridge that reduces friction with teams and increases the leader's ability to read nuance—critical in a culture where people may be reserved. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? The ultimate lesson is that trust is built through time, listening, and decisive presence. Leadership is revealed when trouble hits: the leader who listens, takes action, and stands in front earns durable commitment. Once trust is established, the organisation can move faster—because consensus forms more naturally, delegation improves, and decisions carry less uncertainty.

Summary In this episode of Chattinn Cyber, Marc is chattin' with Alyssa Lisiewski, Managing Director at Ankura and one of the best known and respected cybersecurity experts in the country. The conversation begins with Alyssa sharing her early introduction to technology, influenced by her father who taught her to take apart and reassemble computers from a young age. Initially interested in forensic crime scene investigations, Alyssa shifted her focus to cybersecurity due to her father's encouragement and foresight about the field's growth. She started her career as an intern in diplomatic security's computer investigations and forensics unit, then pursued a master's degree while working as a government contractor, honing her skills in cybersecurity and high-tech crime investigations. Alyssa's career progressed into the intelligence community, where she specialized in digital forensics from an intelligence perspective, which differed from traditional digital forensics. She later worked at the Department of Defense Cyber Crime Center in Maryland, conducting forensic examinations and testifying in court cases. Transitioning to the private sector, Alyssa led a digital forensics team at a major financial company focusing on insider threats before joining Anchor, where she combines her cyber threat and forensic expertise. The discussion then shifts to clarifying common internet terminology: the surface web, deep web, and dark web. Alyssa explains that the surface web is the small portion of the internet most people use daily, such as Google and social media. The deep web contains more anonymous and legal content like academic and medical documents, while the dark web is accessed via Tor and is often associated with illicit activities but also hosts legitimate anonymous communications. Alyssa emphasizes the importance of proactive dark web monitoring for businesses. Beyond just detecting if stolen data is posted, monitoring can reveal chatter among threat actors about industries or competitors, enabling companies to anticipate and mitigate attacks. She shares a real-life example where her team identified a threat actor group's tactics early, allowing a client to detect an intrusion that had gone unnoticed for a month, demonstrating the value of threat intelligence in incident response. Finally, Marc and Alyssa chat about the benefits and challenges of incorporating dark web analysis into post-incident investigations. While it can clarify the true impact of a breach and assist in legal mediation, there are limitations due to the trustworthiness of data posted by criminals. Her team validates findings through metadata analysis and breach research. The episode closes with Alyssa inviting listeners to connect with her via email or LinkedIn for further discussion, highlighting her openness to sharing knowledge and engaging with the cybersecurity community. Key Points Alyssa's Journey: Alyssa's early exposure to technology and career path from forensic interests to cybersecurity and digital forensics. Web Infrastructure: Explanation of the surface web, deep web, and dark web, including their differences and common misconceptions. Threat Detection: The strategic value of proactive dark web monitoring for businesses to detect threats and industry chatter before breaches occur. A real-world example of how threat intelligence helped identify a threat actor's tactics and detect a breach earlier than usual. The role of dark web analysis in post-incident investigations, including its benefits, limitations, and methods to validate data. Key Quotes “When I was four, my dad taught me how to take apart a computer and put it back together… he made sure I was learning about it from a very young age.” “The surface web is really only 4 or 5% of the web. The majority of the web is the deep web and the dark web.” “If you’re not monitoring proactively the dark web, chances are the first time you’re looking at the dark web is after that breach.” “We knew … the threat actor group… and because of that, we were able to identify the actual true start of the incident, about a month prior to the update we were working on.” “There are going to be situations where we may not be able to identify if data is out there, or we may identify it but not give any context… that’s why we do other things to try to validate it.” About Our Guest Alyssa Lisiewski is a Managing Director at Ankura in Washington, DC, bringing over 14 years of specialized experience in digital forensics, cybersecurity, and insider threat investigations.

It was also written to bring comfort to all who have ever endured the loss of a beloved four-legged family member and should also assure those who are about to, that they will surely meet again. Dominicanus; You, Your Dog And Heaven, speaks from a unique and rarely discussed perspective.

Thank you all !!! About Eira Wulfnothsson - Eira was a practicing occultist for over four decades. Born into a Luciferian world, no one in her family was Christian for generations; she was taken to Bohemian Grove at age 3. Her education was just as unusual; she attended a traditional mystery school 30 years before the internet existed; she attended in person. There she learned of the laws and forces at work in the cosmos both Holy and Unholy. Five years ago, she had an extraordinary experience with Mary, Our Blessed Mother. She was called to become a traditional Roman Catholic and is now a consecrated Marian who has taken a life long vow of celibacy. She regularly prays “The Office of The Dead” for the Holy Souls in purgatory. Today Eira works on the team of a Mandated Roman Catholic Exorcist and consults on classical angelology/demonology based on her unique upbringing, studies and experiences. In service to Christ she currently hosts a youtube channel where she speaks of her unusual journey, spiritual warfare, and her understanding of God's cosmos.

Tenía que ver con la obediencia a la voluntad de Dios revelada en la Torá. ¿Por qué adoptó Josué una postura tan firme acerca de las relaciones de Israel con las naciones circundantes? (Jos. 23:6-8, 12, 13). El peligro al que Israel se enfrentaba no era la enemistad de las naciones restantes, sino su amistad. Las armas de ellas no representaban tal vez un desafío para Israel, pero su ideología y sus valores (o su falta de ellos) podrían resultar más dañinos que cualquier fuerza militar. Josué llamó la atención de los líderes al hecho crucial de que el conflicto en el que se habían visto envueltos era primordialmente, y en última instancia, espiritual. Por lo tanto, Israel debía preservar su singular identidad.La prohibición de invocar el nombre de un dios, jurar por él y servirlo o inclinarse ante él tenía que ver con la idolatría. En el antiguo Cercano Oriente, el nombre de una deidad representaba su presencia y su poder. Invocar o mencionar los nombres de los dioses en los saludos cotidianos o en las transacciones comerciales significaba reconocer su autoridad y contribuía a que los israelitas buscaran su poder en tiempos de necesidad (comparar con Jue. 2:1-3, 11-13). El peligro de casarse con los cananeos que quedaban en la tierra consistía en que Israel perdiera su pureza espiritual. La intención de la amonestación de Josué no era promover la pureza racial o étnica, sino evitar la idolatría, que podía conducir al colapso espiritual de Israel. El caso de Salomón es un ejemplo dramático de las tristes consecuencias espirituales de los matrimonios mixtos (1 Rey. 3:1; 11:1-8). En el Nuevo Testamento, se exhorta firmemente a los cristianos a no unirse en matrimonio con no creyentes (2 Cor. 6:14), aunque, en el caso de los matrimonios existentes, Pablo no aconseja al cónyuge creyente que se divorcie del incrédulo, sino que lleve una vida cristiana ejemplar con la esperanza de ganar al no creyente para el Señor (1 Cor. 7:12-16). La advertencia de Josué contra las asociaciones perjudiciales conduce inevitablemente a la cuestión de la relación del cristiano con el “mundo”. ¿Cómo podemos mantener una relación equilibrada con la sociedad que nos rodea?

About Our Guest: Paola, also known as "Poly" Rottermann, was born in Bogota, Colombia. She is the eldest of four sisters. Growing up, she immersed herself in a French school where she fluently learned French and English. At the young age of 7, an "awakening" moment occurred for Poly when she experienced what she felt like a "download" in her brain, after encountering for her first time an image of an extraterrestrial craft in a book. Feeling isolated with her experience, and a sudden very strong feeling of needing to understand what happened, this 'download' marked the beginning of Poly's connection with the E.T phenomenon. Venturing into adulthood, Poly pursued a B.A in Journalism and Social Communication after graduating from school. Her life journey took her to Israel in 1999, where she resides to this day. Her Experiences Intensified after moving, with astral travelings and sightings. In the last 20 years Poly has been actively sharing UFO News and information in FB around the world, she is a member of the UFO MAN Podcast Team on YouTube, and she's been sharing her own story, hoping to be a support for other experiencers.

I sat down with Tusar Barik, the SVP of Marketing at the New York Times, who's just past his first year in this newly created role. We explored how the Times has transformed from a traditional newspaper into a multifaceted media company spanning news, games, podcasts, cooking, sports, and more. Tusar leads a comprehensive team managing everything from measurement and data insights to product marketing, editorial advertising opportunities, and traditional communications. What struck me most was learning that the Times now reaches over 150 million registered users with 50 to 100 million weekly engagers, seeing the highest growth among Gen Z adults and audiences in the Midwest and South. The digital advertising business delivered over 20% year-over-year growth, proving that quality journalism and a direct relationship with readers creates a powerhouse advertising platform.We dove deep into how the Times is meeting consumers where they are through video-forward strategies, producing over 75 hours of professional video monthly and transforming podcasts into multimodal shows available as both audio and video. Tusar shared insights on their Brand Match generative AI product that delivers 30% improvements in both click-through rates and brand lift by intelligently matching advertiser briefs with the right content. We explored how games like Wordle have been part of the Times' DNA since the 1940s crossword, how The Daily creates deeply personal connections with millions, and why the Times sees itself as a solar system with news at the center. The conversation revealed a company that's successfully balanced subscription-first strategy with a thriving advertising business by staying true to its mission while innovating how it reaches and serves audiences._______________________________________________Key Highlights
