Pull out two strips of Gold-Pressed Latinum and submit them in the little box to listen to our episode on the Farenghi, Star Trek The Next Generation's first attempt at a recurring villain race which went incredibly poorly for everyone concerned. From their first appearance in the show when they act like incredibly hyperactive gerbils in the The Last Outpost to their most recent focus in Star Trek Prodigy where we find out more about Dal's past and the conflict between his old life and his new life in First Con-tact to one of Deep Space Nine's many attempts to bring nuance to the species in Family Business when Quark and Rom have to deal with their mother Ishka's becoming involved in what passes for First Stage Feminism in a culture where women can't wear clothes. What a perfect alien race to talk about the day before the British Election gets the money grabbing Tory's out of power after 14 years! Who says Star Trek isn't political? If they do, make them put three strips of latinum in the appropriate hole! EPISODES INCLUDED: The Last Outpost (13:39), First Con-tact (43:35), Family Business (01:03:43) Talking Points Include: They Live and Ironic 4th July movies (we didn't watch ‘They Live,' but instead we watched ‘Slap Shot'), we briefly touch on the inevitable rousting of the Torys, the unfortunate antisemitic coding of the Farenghi, BE INTIMIDATED BY MILES' ARMS! The Robocop vs. The Terminator crossover by Dark Horse Comics, (CORRECTION: Frank Miller HAD started writing and drawing ‘Sin City' the year before) the Monster of the Week RPG, back to the Season One well of Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Bee-Gees, Lisa-Lisa and Cult Jam, where IS the Enterprise's Engineer? Geordi's weird ‘oooooh-wee!' could the Farenghi ever have been a threat? Doctor Who's own Farneghi the Slitheen and how they killed Charlie's interest in Doctor Who back in 2005, the Farenghi design and how it's immediately undercut, Armin Shimmerman giving some great vibes this early on, how this remakes ‘Errand of Mercy,' Captain Picard does a swear, that one episode of ‘The X-Files' what Stephen King wrote contained a swear, Transformers: The Movie dropping a ‘S-Bomb,' Are we actually watching ‘The Mighty Boosh? We want Matt Berry to be a Star Trek Alien, Adele (sound goblins ate anything we had to say further on Adele, apologies for the weird edit) WHY IS ‘ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS' the US Number One in January? Kid Kapici, Sea Power is a Hometown Band, Dal has a Yondu. Charlie is a freak, Charlie also likes to equate Dal from ‘Prodigy' to Poochie, Prodigy excelling at non-humanoid aliens, cartoons for kids these days don't have as much as a reset button as they used to, Prodigy finally does a Starfleet, Warren Ellis and Brian Michael Bendis style decompression in relation to Picard, eventually Charlie will learn how to pronounce René Auberjonois' surname, Living Joy, Montell Jordan and THIS IS HOW WE DO IT, Charlie's love of KINECT Dance Games, Jake Sisko is disturbingly obsessed with his dad's love life, Quark is the lone conservative in a strangely progressive Farenghi family, THE RETURN OF JEFFREY COMBS, Farenghinar is the future tech-bros want, (CULTURAL NOTE: Rounders is the British equivalent of ‘Baseball,') how old is Jake Sisko? At this point during the episode, the weekly Madison Tornado siren test starts going off, Charlie deals with his own FCA in real life, Farenghi culture and their home world is almost set up to be a Gilliam-esque nightmare, once more a reminder that Miles didn't watch ‘Rejoined' for the Trill episode, this isn't a Farenghi Comedy Episode.

„Powracam w roli lidera Partii Reform. Nie tylko na te wybory, ale na całe pięć lat (maksymalna kadencja Parlamentu - przyp. aut.). Powód jest jeden i jest on prosty – wiemy już, że Partia Konserwatywna będzie w opozycji, ale nie będzie opozycją, są do tego niezdolni” – tymi słowami Nigel Farage obwieścił swój come backdo pierwszoligowej polityki w roli przywódcy partyjnego i kandydata na posła w wyborach parlamentarnych.

El Partido Laborista ha ganado las elecciones de este jueves y, sobre todo, el Partido Conservador las ha perdido estrepitosamente. La sensación es que el primer ministro actual Rishi Sunak ha pagado por su desastre y sobre todo por todo lo que ha salido mal desde que su partido gobierna: severos recortes de los servicios públicos y, sobre todo, el Brexit. La crisis generada por la salida de la UE del Reino Unido desató el caos en el partido de los Torys y en el Gobierno británico donde llegaron a sucederse hasta tres primeros ministros en los últimos cinco años. Analizamos las causas de esta derrota y ahondamos en quién es el futuro primer ministro del Reino Unido, el líder laborista Keir Starmer, con la corresponsal Internacional de elDiario.es, María Ramírez. *** Hazte socio de elDiario.es y llévate un año gratis de Podimo, la plataforma de podcast y audiolibros.

In England wird ums Geld gefeilscht. Sunak will keins ausgeben, nicht darüber diskutieren und auch sonst klemmts ein wenig bei den Torys. In Amerika dagegen ist ein wenig Ruhe vor dem Sturm. Wir gucken es uns an, bis uns Mathias musisch in die neue Woche spielt. Präsentiert von Detlef. Herzlichen Dank allen Unterstützerinnen.

In this third episode of The Appellate Wanderer, I talk to Andrew Bernstein, a partner at Torys who practices appeal and clerked for former Chief Justice Lamer of the Supreme Court of Canada. We had a lovely talk about how Canadian appellate practice differs and is similar to that of its cousin in the United States. We speak about Andrew's "origin story" to law school from his "mistake" of starting a commerce undergraduate program. Then we moved to Canadian legal education (6:30); Andrew's LLM at the University of California, Berkeley (7:42); the extraordinary fact that the Supreme Court of Canada is functionally bilingual! (9:50); we discuss the hierarchy and structure of the Canadian courts (12:35); moved to appealing to the Canadian Supreme Court by leave (15:40); we talk about how you can possibly have a Supreme Court of Canada ruling on Quebec law (18:10); we talk about how the Court can sit in panels of 5, 7, and 9 (19:25); then we move to Andrew's recent oral argument in the Canadian Supreme Court and his preparation process and his "spiel" (22:44); we talk about the mooting process for Canada (27:55); we talk about the written work product in the Supreme Court and factums (29:55); we talk about what happens in conference in the Canadian Supreme Court, including a possible conference in advance (31:55); we talk about how the law clerks do their work (35:30); "Horse trading happens on the second floor" (38:10); what comments look like from other justice (39:15); bench memos (40:55); how law clerks are not involved in leave applications (42:30); how Supreme Court of Canada justice are appointed and how judicial politics differs from the US (44:02); in what ways the Canadian Supreme Court does look to SCOTUS (50:10); and then what Canada does really well as an appellate legal system (53:10).

The Torys seem to be focused on providing circuses to the British public, its past time for them to start spending on the bread.
Auf den Hasardeur mit den vielen Affären folgte die "menschliche Handgranate" mit einem desaströsen Wirtschaftsplan – und jetzt soll der Mann, den sie eigentlich nicht haben wollten, aufräumen, was seine beiden Vorgänger, Boris Johnson und Liz Truss, sehenden Auges zertrümmert haben. Findet Großbritannien unter Rishi Sunak – dem dritten Premierminister in sieben Wochen – raus aus seinem Schlamassel? Kann Rishi Sunak das Chaos beenden? Ausgerechnet Sunak, der erste indischstämmige, erste hinduistische und wohl reichste Regierungschef in der britischen Geschichte – und der jüngste seit 200 Jahren. Oder setzt das Königreich auch unter dem früheren Investmentbanker seine Talfahrt fort – und vollendet seinen Weg vom Empire zum politisch bedeutungslosen Hauptlieferanten von Schlagzeilen für die Yellow Press? In der neuen Folge von "Das Politikteil" sprechen wir mit gleich zwei Gästen: der Abgeordneten der Liberaldemokraten im britischen Unterhaus, Wera Hobhouse, und der London-Korrespondentin von ZEIT ONLINE, Bettina Schulz, über den wenigen Glanz und das viele Elend der aktuellen britischen Politik. Bettina Schulz erläutert, was der Brexit mit den Hochgeschwindigkeitswechseln im Premier-Amt zu tun hat, wo die (selbst-)zerstörerische Kraft bei den Torys, den britischen Konservativen, herkommt – und wie sich der Frust bei der leidgeprüften Hauskatze von Downing Street 10 entlädt. Und Wera Hobhouse beschreibt, warum selbst viele Tory-Anhänger nun Neuwahlen fordern, was Sunak als Erstes machen sollte – und wie sie das, was sie gerade in London erlebt, ihren Verwandten in Deutschland erklärt Wera Hobhouse, als Wera Benedicta von Reden in Hannover geboren, ist seit 1989 mit einem englischen Unternehmer verheiratet, besitzt die britische Staatsbürgerschaft, hat viel in der Kommunalpolitik gearbeitet und sitzt seit 2017 für die Liberaldemokraten als Abgeordnete des Wahlbezirks Bath and North East Somerset im Parlament in London. Bettina Schulz lebt seit 30 Jahren in London, nach langjähriger Tätigkeit als Wirtschaftskorrespondentin der "Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung" schreibt sie heute unter anderem für ZEIT ONLINE. Im Podcast "Das Politikteil" sprechen wir jede Woche über das, was Politik beschäftigt, erklären die Hintergründe, diskutieren die Zusammenhänge. Immer freitags mit zwei Moderatoren, einem Gast – und einem Geräusch. Im Wechsel sind als Gastgeber Tina Hildebrandt und Heinrich Wefing oder Ileana Grabitz und Peter Dausend zu hören.

Rishi Sunak ist neuer britischer Premier. Er ist jung, Hindu, Multimillionär und Ex-Finanzminister. Kann er das politische Chaos beenden? Rishi Sunak, 42, folgt Liz Truss im Amt des britischen Premierministers. Am 1. Juli dieses Jahres trat er noch als Finanzminister von Boris Johnson zurück - und löste damit den Sturz des Premiers aus. Diese Woche dann kam es zum wohl unwahrscheinlichsten Comeback des Jahres: Montag wurde er zunächst Chef der Torys, Dienstag dann von König Charles zum Regierungschef ernannt. In seinem ersten Statement spricht er Fehler seiner Vorgänger an, sagt Besserung zu und verspricht “Tag und Nacht” daran zu arbeiten, die Nation zu einen. Die Briten aber sind misstrauisch, sagt Michael Neudecker, SZ-Korrespondent für Großbritannien. Dafür sei einfach zu viel passiert. Seit Jahren hätten die Regierungen der Torys viel versprochen, aber nur “wenig davon wurde gehalten.” Sunak sei kein britischer Barack Obama, zumal der Brexit-Unterstützer auch “bei den Tories eher zum rechten Flügel gehört”. Neudecker ist skeptisch, ob Sunak die Stimmung noch drehen kann und erwartet vorgezogene Unterhauswahlen im kommenden Jahr. Den Link zum Liveticker zu Großbritannien finden Sie hier.

Nach nur sechs Wochen ist Liz Truss als britische Premierministerin zurückgetreten. Kürzer im Amt war vor ihr keiner. Was sind die Gründe für ihren Rücktritt, obwohl sie sich zuletzt bei öffentlichen Auftritten immer kämpferisch gegeben hatte? Und welchen Weg aus der Regierungskrise könnte es in Großbritannien geben? Darüber spricht Roland Jodin mit Bettina Schulz, die für ZEIT ONLINE aus London berichtet. Es ist das Ereignis des Jahres für die Literaturwelt: die Buchmesse in Frankfurt am Main. Ab heute ist sie für Besucherinnen und Besucher geöffnet und soll nach dem Willen der Veranstalter ein Kulturereignis für Völkerverständigung und ein Ort des Diskurses und Miteinanders sein. Die Selbstansprüche sind hoch – doch werden sie erfüllt? Das weiß David Hugendick, Literaturredakteur von ZEIT ONLINE. Und sonst so? Meeresgeräusche als Kunstinstallation.

Für die britische Tory-Partei ist 2022 schon jetzt ein Katastrophen-Jahr. Der Abgang mit Ansage von der gerade erst ins Amt gekommenen Premierministerin Liz Truss stürzt die konservative Partei in eine nie dagewesene Sinnkrise. „45 Tage – so kurz hat es bisher noch niemand geschafft“, sagt Historiker, Großbritannien-Experte und Professor an der Uni Mainz, Bernhard Dietz, „Wobei das eigentliche Problem insgesamt in der jüngeren Vergangenheit liegt, in der sich mit David Cameron, Teresa May und Boris Johnson die Premierminister immer schneller abgewechselt haben.“ Fünf Premiers in sechs Jahren – der Brexit ist schuld Nach Liz Truss habe man dann mit ihrem Nachfolger schon den fünften Premier innerhalb von sechs Jahren. Die Folgen für die Tory-Partei seien massiv. „Gerade die missglückten Steuerpläne, die ideologisch begründet waren, haben zu einem großen Vertrauensverlust bei den Wählern geführt.“ Der Brexit sei innerhalb dieser Ideologie ein politisches Beben gewesen, dessen Nachbeben immer noch stark genug sind um einen Premier nach dem anderen in den Abgrund zu reißen.
Popołudniem 29 września międzynarodowa grupa badawcza YouGov publikuje sondaż, w którym rządząca Wielką Brytanią od dwunastu lat Partia Konserwatywna notuje poparcie zaledwie 21% badanych, podczas gdy głos na główną opozycyjną i lewicową Partię Pracy chce oddać aż 54% mieszkańców Zjednoczonego Królestwa, najwięcej w historii pomiarów YouGov i najwięcej spośród wszystkich sondażowni od późnych lat 90., kiedy to Tony Blair poprowadził laburzystów do ich historycznego zwycięstwa w 1997 roku. Co najmniej trzydziestopunktową przewagę lewicy potwierdziły dwa kolejne sondaże innych ośrodków (Omnisis i PeoplePolling). Odmienne od wyborczych badania są równie druzgocącą oceną rządu. 65% uważa, że Liz Truss źle radzi sobie jako premier, a 75% deklaruje, że w ich przekonaniu rząd źle administruje sprawami gospodarczymi (YouGov). Aż 71% wyborców konserwatystów twierdzi, że rząd stracił kontrolę nad sytuacją w kraju (Opinium Research). Jak do tego doszło?

To koniec gabinetu Borisa Johnsona. Premier Wielkiej Brytanii podał się do dymisji. Zrezygnował zarówno z funkcji premiera, jak i z funkcji lidera Partii Konserwatywnej, choć zapowiedział, że pozostanie na stanowisku do czasu wyboru następcy. W tle tej decyzji są fala rezygnacji ze stanowisk rządowych i nadużycia seksualne jednego z przedstawicieli Torysów. Witold Jurasz, jeszcze przed oficjalnym ogłoszeniem dymisji Borisa Johnsona, ocenia jego osobę jako polityka i jego karierę jako premiera Wielkiej Brytanii. “To człowiek, który ma głębokie przekonanie, że mu wszystko wolno” - mówi o Johnsonie dziennikarz Onetu i przyznaje, że w jego opinii Johnsona w polityce być nie powinno. Co decyzja premiera Wielkiej Brytanii wszystko oznacza dla sytuacji międzynarodowej w obliczu inwazji Rosji na Ukrainę? O tym m.in. w “Raporcie międzynarodowym”. Witold Jurasz porusza ponadto wątek trwających w amerykańskim Kongresie przesłuchań po szturmie na Kapitol z 6 stycznia 2021 roku. Mówi też o bieżącej sytuacji w Ukrainie i skutkach ubocznych przedłużającego się konfliktu.

An official inquiry into alleged gatherings at Downing Street and Whitehall during Covid-19 restrictions has said the "senior leadership" in Boris Johnson's government must "bear responsibility" for the culture which led to coronavirus lockdown rules being broken. The report by Sue Gray said the public would be "dismayed" by a series of breaches of coronavirus rules in No 10 and Westminster. For more on this Shane spoke to Adam Boulton, Political Commentator, Former Sky News Political Editor, and Contributor to Talk TV.

This is Part 2 of my interview with Stuart Wood (CEO of Caravel Law). Part 1 here. In this part of the interview we talked about how one goes about marketing professional services firms. Stuart marketed both the leading firm in Canada, and now oversees a “start-up” law firm. There are some similarities and some real differences in how marketing is done in these environments. I hope you enjoy this - it is a little different than our normal discussions on Marketing BS. Transcript:Edward: This is marketing BS. This is part two of my interview with Stuart Wood. Today we're going to dive into his experience overseeing marketing at two Canadian law firms, Caravel and Torys. He was CMO at Torys and CEO now at Caravel. You were CMO at Torys, which is a very, very established law firm in Canada. Now you're CEO of Caravel, which is a much newer law firm, relatively new. How do law firms differentiate themselves? What makes someone choose one law firm over another?Stuart: It's a challenge for every law firm, I think. Because what you'll see, if you look at law firm marketing, there's a lot of the same language, a lot of the same descriptors that they're trying to use for themselves. There's a lot of generic terms that are used. You'll see a lot of advertising, which are things like chess pieces and these strategy images that they think are going to really differentiate their firm, but it really is a lot more and more of the same.We try to differentiate ourselves in a few ways. But one of the keys for us is to try to differentiate through innovation and our business model. We've taken a lean approach to legal services, the same way that I applied lean principles to different businesses when I was a consultant, playing them here at Caravel as we take out everything that doesn't add value to the client as a way of trying to get the costs as low as possible.We practice in a different way where our lawyers—well before COVID hit—all practiced remotely as a way of eliminating the cost of a large expensive office on Bay Street. That means that we attract talent—great lawyers that have 15+ years of experience and just for whatever reason are looking for the flexibility of being able to work remotely.Nowadays, that's something that all law firms are trying to do, but for the founders of this firm 15 years ago, it was a pretty innovative idea to get rid of the office and have all the lawyers practicing remotely.We try to essentially implement legal technology in a way that actually delivers value for the client as opposed to just looking good in a press release. We use contract automation software and different things so that it feels different when our law firm is working with you versus when you're working with a traditional firm. We're not trying to just be a less expensive version of a traditional firm. We're trying to feel different from the client when we provide our services.Then lastly, I think law firms really try to differentiate on service. It's hard for me to compete with a big firm that has a team of staff on a client floor—the art collection, the filtered water, and everything like that that gets delivered.We have a director of client happiness and another person who works in our client happiness department. We really try to distinguish ourselves in the way that we care about our clients and pay attention to what's going on in business and how we can be helpful.Edward: A lot of those things sound like great ways to make your clients happy and to keep your clients from churning, from sticking with you. They don't sound like top-of-the-funnel ways to get people to even know about your firm, to consider your firm, or to select your firm when they're deciding which firm to choose. How does someone know? Do you do marketing to let them know that, hey, we have a different model, come and check us out?Stuart: Yeah, we do. Some of that is through the types of work that we do. We really try to grow through referrals. We try to do as much as possible to have our existing clients help us grow and be a part of building the firm, but we try to market ourselves in different ways as well.We have a podcast, which is called Business Decisions where I talk to entrepreneurs and speak with them about their businesses, how their businesses are evolving, and the kinds of challenges and business decisions that they're facing. Then, I talk to one of my lawyers about one of those business decisions and the legal implications of that. So bringing together the startup world and the small business world with the legal challenges that they have to deal with.One of the ways that we try to reach that audience is by showing that these are the kinds of clients that we work with and the kinds of things that we help people with, and hope that that resonates with people.Edward: Does that work? There was a company here in Seattle called Avvo that was basically a marketplace for lawyers, but where they did fairly well were these Q&A things where people would post questions and lawyers would answer those questions. The reason why lawyers are answering those questions for free was the idea of someone who would read that answer and be like, oh, that's the problem I have. I should go and talk to that specific lawyer who answered that question. Is that what you're trying to do with the podcast?Stuart: Yeah, a little bit. Most law firms are trying to do content marketing as much as possible. It's one of the things that lawyers are particularly good at. This has just happened, this development and this new legislation. Here are what the implications are for you. That's one of the things that all law firms try to do and what we're trying to do with our podcast, but also with some of the things that we put out.We try to really think about it from the perspective of the clients and what actual business decisions they're facing right now. In particular, if you look at the COVID-19 situation, there were a lot of questions at the beginning, which were not huge legal challenges but I don't think I'm going to be using my office for quite a while. Can somebody help me understand what my options are for my commercial lease? If I have to renew my lease in the next little bit, how should I be thinking about that, one of those challenges are?We tried to show up at TechTO events. We sponsored one of the TechTO events and had four lawyers there just to answer questions from entrepreneurs. We created a free legal help desk for people to contact us with COVID-19-related legal questions, which were largely employment, real estate, those sorts of things, and contract analysis. What does this mean? Just things that people hadn't considered until they were forced to consider them due to the circumstances.We'd really try to just put ourselves in the shoes of our clients. What are they wrestling with? What's top of mind? What do they need help with? How do we put something out that's helpful and useful to them?Edward: Does that work? Have you been able to track that top-of-mind awareness you get from doing that type of work through a new client coming in the door?Stuart: I don't really try to get all that granular with my tracking on some of these things so I couldn't tell you specifically which of these initiatives is working.The firm is growing pretty quickly. In particular, in 2021, it has been a pretty dramatic growth year for us. It's an endorsement that the things that we're doing are working. But if you were to ask me how much of that comes from the podcast, how much of it comes from the client's happiness efforts, and how much of it comes from the monthly newsletter that we put out and the content that we share to try to be helpful to our client base? I couldn't tell you what percentage belongs to each, but they all add up to a recipe that's working well for us.Edward: When a new client comes in the door—not expanding on an existing client, but a brand new client comes in—do you ask them, how did you hear about us?Stuart: Yeah. It's almost always from someone. Hiring lawyers is a little bit different. There are certain types of law where maybe you're going to go onto Google and just type in personal injury lawyer or something like that, and maybe you get leads that way.In general, what we're really trying to do is make sure that we are a law firm people have heard of that have some familiarity with it so that they'd speak to one of our clients and they hear what a great experience that client is having. That we're not a name that they've never heard of or a firm that they're not familiar with. That we're in the consideration set already so that when they hear more about us, they'll reach out and get in touch.Edward: Stuart, do people even hire law firms? Going on a little bit of a tangent, are they hiring law firms or are they hiring the individual lawyers? We talked about this referral, I've heard of you. Are they hearing about Caravel, or are they hearing about an individual lawyer at Caravel?Stuart: It's definitely both. It's a little bit different than other professional services businesses. In consulting, people generally will talk about the firm and will mention the firm name. You see a lot of lateral hiring in law firms of lawyers moving from one firm to another, and the clients go with them to their new firm because the loyalty is really to that individual lawyer as opposed to the particular firm.Sometimes it is, but a large part is the relationship with the person who's actually doing the work matters a lot more in legal services than it does potentially in other professional services for sure.Edward: How do you do that as a running marketing for the firm? Are you trying to reduce the amount of marketing to the lawyers, or do you increase it and then leverage it for the firm?Stuart: At the firms I've worked at—in particular at Torys—I started an initiative where we did video podcasts. We were the first firm to do that. That was really to get my lawyers out in front of people. They could see them, they could hear them, and they could see that they're not intimidating.Torys is a pretty strong brand in legal services in Canada. In some cases, it can be an intimidating brand, so I really wanted to put people front and center so that you could see our people, hear them talk, and hear what it's like to have a conversation with these people. I think that was very effective at humanizing the firm and getting some inbound interest in the firm that way.We would do dinners with CEOs to try to get and have speakers come in as a way of getting exposure so that more people who talk to one of my lawyers had a chance to see that they were both excellent lawyers but also excellent people to work with in difficult situations. I thought that was really important.We do the same thing at Caravel. I have just an amazing team of lawyers. I just want more people to know about them and to have a chance to listen to them or see them in a video, at a conference, or something like that. Because the more exposure people have to my lawyers, the better the firm is going to do because we have an incredible group of lawyers.Edward: Is the idea then that you have to have a group of lawyers at a time? It's almost like you're going to sell them as a bundle rather than as individuals. I can imagine that if you start raising the profile of any given individual lawyer, they can take that with them. That brand equity takes the elevator down from every evening at 5:00 PM.Stuart: Yeah. To a certain extent, you have to rely on the culture of your firm and the firm that you're trying to build, that you give them a reason to choose to practice with you as opposed to going someplace else.Certainly, you can read all these stories in The New York Times about partners that are moving from one firm to another for what I think seems like outrageous sums of money. They're worth it because they bring all that work with them.That's certainly something that you have to be mindful of. I had one client that said to me, I'm sure you have a basket full of stars at your firm. I just don't know who any of them are. That's going to work against you if you don't put your people upfront and give people a chance to see that you do have excellent legal talent that can really help them, and that would be thought partners, real support, and trusted advisors for those clientsEdward: Are all these top law firms priced the same, or is it significantly different from law firm to law firm?Stuart: There are definitely differences. Caravel is a lot less expensive than a traditional Bay Street law firm in Canada. It depends on the market. The rates are different in Vancouver than they are in Toronto, for example. To a certain extent, people want to feel like they're getting great value more than they want the cheapest lawyer for sure. I think legal services have signaled quality through rates.How do I know this woman is a great lawyer? It's because she charges $1000 an hour. She must be a great lawyer to be able to charge that much for her time. That's a really important signal that they send to the market through their rates.I'm not sure that clients want to find a lawyer that has the lowest rates because they will associate that with lower-quality either work product or service. What they really want to find is that person who feels like an excellent value. I'm getting that lawyer who's a great lawyer and who I know is going to do a fantastic job for me. I feel like what I'm paying is fair.Edward: How does Caravel get around that? You guys are cheaper than (say) Torys. Does that signal that you're lower quality? How do you manage that?Stuart: I don't think it signals that we're lower quality. I have a huge amount of respect for the big traditional law firms. Having spent time in one for a long time—six-plus years—I feel like I have a real appreciation for all the things that they are very good at.There are the types of files that big, traditional, national law firms can handle that we would not be the right fit for. But I do think it means that we have to explain and share with people what is different about us and why we are at the rates that we're at. That is different than just lower quality because I tell all of the clients that I speak to that I don't want anybody to be holding us to lower standards than they hold their traditional law firm to just because we're less expensive.We think that we provide as good or better service than all those firms, and our lawyers are all experienced great lawyers who have relevant industry experience and exceptional training. They are every bit as good lawyers as what they would find elsewhere. You have to do some education to make sure that people don't just see that it's a lower-cost law firm, but a different way of practicing.Edward: How much of your marketing has to go towards lawyers rather than clients? I imagine, to your point, what you're selling as a business is effectively the people that are working for your business as a service firm. Having really strong lawyers is really, really important. Is marketing a part of that to make sure you can attract really strong lawyers?Stuart: Absolutely. There's certainly a virtuous circle that gets created. The best clients attract the best lawyers, and the best lawyers attract the best clients. Once you get that virtuous cycle going, it's a nice flywheel effect that you end up with.The matters that you're handling, the financing rounds, the IPOs, and the M&A deals that you're doing, people notice that and you end up attracting talent as a result of being seen as being in the mix and serving the kinds of clients that people want to serve.The nice part about Caravel is we serve a lot of innovative leading startups across Canada. In a lot of cases, the fact that we serve some of these technology companies or what have you that have garnered headlines and attention over the last decade is a vote of confidence from one of those startups. It carries a lot of weight with other clients that then consider Caravel to assist them.Edward: I see that. If you go and say, hey, we serve Google, Facebook, and Apple, that's a really good signal for clients to be like, oh, I want to go and be with a law firm that serves those guys. It's also a good signal for the lawyers to be like, hey, I want to go and work for the guys that serve those guys.Are there other other types of things that don't have that flywheel effect? Is there a trade-off? Is there marketing that you can send out to be like, hey, this is going to be good for the clients but bad for the lawyers, or bad for the lawyers but good for the clients?Stuart: There's always the tension in a professional services firm that jumping through a lot of hoops to make your clients happy can often come at the expense of the consultant who's asked to travel more than you would say is a reasonable amount or late nights for a lawyer that may affect their work-life balance.To a certain extent, if you're trying to market to both at the same time and you're sending a message out to lawyers that, hey, we have a flexible model that allows you to practice from wherever you are, you have to be mindful of how that message is going to be received by any clients who are seeing that marketing.If you are talking about what exceptional lengths to go to to provide service that goes above and beyond to your clients, that may have an effect on lawyers thinking, well, that sounds like long nights that maybe is not what I'm looking for. You do have to manage that trade-off for sure.Edward: It's interesting. Google doesn't have that problem. Google can advertise that they have free lunches, pedicures, massage therapists, volleyball courts, and laundry on site—all these employee benefits. But that doesn't make me be like, oh, their staff is going to be coddled, therefore, I'm not going to use their search engine.Maybe I do that if it's a lawyer who talks about, hey, we have all these special things that make people super relaxed and so on on-site. That doesn't make me want to use those lawyers anymore.Stuart: When you hear all that, oh, that's going to be expensive might be the first thing that comes to mind. You do have to manage that.To a certain extent, as you are out there in the market trying to tell clients about your services, it certainly is always in our mind that the people we want to come work with us are also reading those ads, reading that content, and are learning about our firm at the same time. We do always have both audiences in mind with whatever our marketing efforts are.Edward: Which is more important? If you had to choose between marketing to lawyers or marketing to clients, which one wins?Stuart: I generally think of most of my marketing as being towards the clients, but I am always aware that if I don't have lawyers, I have no business. I really try hard to make sure that I'm always respectful to my lawyers and trying to create an environment where they feel appreciated and respected for the skills that they have and the hard work that they put in.Then, I rely a lot on the fact that my lawyers have all been practicing for a long time. They know a lot of the people in the market. In general, if a lawyer is considering coming to work at Caravel, they're most likely going to know somebody that works at Caravel and are going to call that lawyer and ask them what it's really like to work here. I expect that a lot of the marketing or the representation for the firm is happening without me knowing anything about it or being aware that it's even happening.Edward: It seems like referrals are extremely important for your clients, but also extremely important for your lawyers. It feels like that's the number one marketing channel for both sides.Stuart, before you go today, tell me about your quake book or quake article. What quake content have you read that has fundamentally changed the way you think about the world?Stuart: In the startup world—which I came to later in my career—I would say one of the books that really had the biggest effect on me was The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz. I actually take a great deal of comfort from the fact that it's supposed to be hard. I think that's true at the law firm as well.The challenges that we've talked about today are all challenges that all the law firms face for sure. Law firms are unique businesses maybe because of the nature of the services that we provide, but they're at the core of their businesses.We have to take care of clients, and we have to take care of our talents to make sure that they are there and ready to do a great job for our clients. We have to market. We have to worry about pricing, where we are, and what our competitors are doing. We have to think about innovation, technology, and everything like that.A lot of times, it seems very hard, and there was a part where I took a great deal of comfort in the message that it's supposed to be hard. That's actually a sign that we're on the right track.The piece that I always go back to and I share with people the most is this Fast Company article from the '90s which was by a world champion juggler. It was all these lessons from juggling that he shared in the article, which I thought was really insightful. It was all the things like you touch something, you let it go, and then you have to trust it's going to come back into your peripheral vision at the right moment to deal with what agony does, and then you have to let it go again.This idea of, how do you manage all the things that you have to manage when you're a CEO or when you're running a team—as I was early in my career of a couple of hundred people? You can't watch things all the way into your hand and watch that because everything else will fall if you try to do that. You have to trust your process. You have to trust that you'll see things at the right time and have the right systems in place. You have to trust your team to do good work and manage those things.I've shared that article with probably 40 or 50 people, I would say, in the course of my career.Edward: That's a great way to end it.

Trainiere dein Hörverstehen mit den Nachrichten der Deutschen Welle von Samstag – als Text und als verständlich gesprochene Audio-Datei.Angriff auf Tory-Abgeordneten war offenbar Terrorakt Der tödliche Angriff auf einen Politiker in Großbritannien hatte anscheinend einen terroristischen Hintergrund. Erste Ermittlungen hätten ein mögliches Motiv in Zusammenhang mit islamistischem Extremismus ergeben, teilte die Polizei mit. Der Abgeordnete der konservativen Torys, David Amess, war während einer Bürgersprechstunde in der Kleinstadt Leigh-On-Sea östlich von London mit einem Messer attackiert worden. Trotz der Versorgung durch Sanitäter erlag der 69-Jährige noch am Tatort seinen Verletzungen. Der mutmaßliche Angreifer, ein 25-jähriger Mann, wurde festgenommen. Merkel mahnt im EU-Justizstreit mit Polen zu Kompromiss Im Justizstreit der Europäischen Kommission mit Polen macht sich Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel für einen Kompromiss stark. Sie rate dazu, die großen Probleme im Gespräch zu lösen, sagte Merkel bei einem Treffen mit dem belgischen Ministerpräsidenten Alexander De Croo in Brüssel. Sie glaube nicht, dass sich politische Differenzen oder Unterschiede in der Wahrnehmung der EU "nur durch Gerichtsverfahren klären" ließen. Beobachter rechnen damit, dass der Streit mit Polen über die Justizreformen auch den EU-Gipfel in der nächsten Woche in Brüssel überschatten wird. Biontech und Pfizer beantragen Impfstoff-Zulassung für Kinder Das deutsche Pharma-Unternehmen Biontech und sein US-Partner Pfizer haben in Europa eine Zulassung ihres Corona-Impfstoffs für Kinder von fünf bis elf Jahren beantragt. Sie teilten in Mainz und New York mit, dass sie der EU-Arzneimittelbehörde EMA Daten zu den klinischen Studien übermittelt hätten. Dieselben Daten wurden bereits der US-Arzneimittelbehörde FDA übergeben. Dort hatten Biontech und Pfizer am 7. Oktober die Notfallzulassung des Corona-Impfstoffs für Fünf- bis Elfjährige beantragt. Nach ihren Angaben vertragen Kinder dieses Alters das Vakzin gut und zeigen eine stabile Immunantwort. Frankreich erinnert an ermordeten Lehrer In Frankreich wird an diesem Samstag des vor einem Jahr ermordeten Geschichtslehrers Samuel Paty gedacht. Premierminister Jean Castex trifft mit den Hinterbliebenen zusammen. Am Bildungsministerium wird eine Gedenktafel enthüllt und ein Platz gegenüber der Universität Sorbonne wird nach Paty benannt. Zudem wird die Familie des Ermordeten von Präsident Emmanuel Macron im Elysée-Palast empfangen. Paty war am 16. Oktober 2020 von einem mutmaßlichen Islamisten enthauptet worden. Der Lehrer hatte im Unterricht Mohammed-Karikaturen gezeigt, um eine Diskussion über Meinungsfreiheit anzustoßen. Einseitige Waffenruhe für Zentralafrikanische Republik verkündet In der Zentralafrikanischen Republik hat Präsident Faustin-Archange Touadéra einen einseitigen Waffenstillstand im Kampf gegen Rebellengruppen ausgesprochen. Er kündigte an, einen "nationalen Dialog" starten zu wollen. In dem Land gab es seit der Absetzung von Präsident François Bozizé 2013 mehrfach Aufstände. Rund ein Viertel der knapp fünf Millionen Einwohner wurde vertrieben. Der Sprecher der Rebellen-Allianz "Koalition der Patrioten für einen Wechsel" sagte der Nachrichtenagentur Reuters, man begrüße die Waffenruhe. Früher wurden ähnliche Ankündigungen nur kurz eingehalten. China startet seine bisher längste Weltraummission China hat seine zweite bemannte Weltraummission zu der Raumstation "Tiangong" (Himmlischer Palast) erfolgreich gestartet. Eine Rakete vom Typ "Langer Marsch 2F" hob vom Raumfahrtbahnhof Jiuquan am Rande der Wüste Gobi ab. Mit sechs Monaten im All wollen drei chinesische Astronauten einen Rekord für das chinesische Raumfahrtprogramm aufstellen. Die Crew soll im Kernmodul "Tianhe" der Raumstation wohnen, die sich im Bau befindet. Zuletzt hatten dort drei chinesische Raumfahrer drei Monate verbracht, was der bisherige Rekord für China ist. Bis Ende 2022 plant das Land allein elf Raketenstarts. Fußball-Bundesliga: Hoffenheim besiegt Köln Die TSG 1899 Hoffenheim hat zum Auftakt des 8. Bundesliga-Spieltages ihr Heimspiel gegen den 1. FC Köln mit 5:0 gewonnen. Vor rund 14.000 Zuschauern in Sinsheim war der dritte Saisonsieg der Gastgeber dank einer klaren Leistungssteigerung nach der Pause hochverdient. Hoffenheim hatte nur eins der letzten sechs Bundesliga-Spiele gewinnen können. Die Kölner waren unter Trainer Steffen Baumgart seit fünf Spielen ungeschlagen, kassierten aber die siebte Niederlage nacheinander gegen Hoffenheim. Hoffenheim stieg auf Tabellenplatz acht, einen Punkt hinter Köln.

Thank you for your patience as I take time with the new baby. It has been pretty great barely working (professionally) for the last six weeks. I have half-written a briefing that I keep thinking I will finish and send, but it continues not to happen. I have not decided when I will really ramp back up. In the meantime, here is another Marketing BS interview. This one is pretty unique. Stuart was CMO of the largest law firm in Canada without ever being a lawyer (and is now the CEO of a newer firm). Part one, like always, is about his career. Next week I will drop Part 2 which explores the mechanics of how he thinks about marketing a law firm (with all sorts of learnings for service businesses). Enjoy. The Transcript:Edward: This is Marketing BS. My guest today is Stuart Wood, CEO of Caravel Law. It's a leading law firm based in Toronto, Canada. Today we're going to cover Stuart's path becoming a CMO and now CEO of a law firm, but not actually a lawyer himself. He was at Loblaws, McKinsey, Torys, Exact Media, and more. In the next episode, we'll dig deeper into what it means to run marketing for a law firm. But today, I want to focus on Stuart.Stuart in 2005, you were an engagement manager at McKinsey. It's not uncommon for people to leave McKinsey when they're engagement managers, but it is fairly unusual to leave and become a CMO immediately. It's also extremely unusual, I think, to leave work for a law firm. Tell me exactly how that happened.Stuart: The main reason that it was unusual was that I joined a client that I had been serving as a consultant. I had a consultant's worst nightmare. You put forward a series of recommendations and then the client turns around and says, well, hey, why don't you come on board and do all this stuff that you said we should do? The list of recommendations that I had made was now recommendations to myself. I was in a unique situation of trying to take all the analyses that I've done and all the recommendations that I had put forward, and now put them into action.It was a unique opportunity, a chance to implement what I had seen. I'd had a chance to work with the team for three and a bit months. I really had a good feel for the people. I really liked the environment. I really liked the leader of the firm, Les Viner. I jumped at the chance to join the management team at Torys.Edward: You came on at that project work, the McKinsey work you were doing for them. Was it a marketing project?Stuart: No, it was really a full strategy review for the firm. The firm had expanded into the US and had done a number of interesting things. We're five years onwards, wanted to take a look at some of the decisions they've made, whether they still made sense, whether there were execution issues that they could tighten up, that kind of thing. So I came in and led that project to make a set of recommendations overall for the firm.Edward: Who was the individual at the firm that was your client? Who was thinking through the strategic problems that you're giving these recommendations to?Stuart: I've worked most closely with the managing partner at the firm. But I really worked closely with the entire executive committee, which was made up at the time, I believe, of seven senior lawyers at the firm including a managing partner.Edward: They were all lawyers. They were all practicing lawyers who were presumably trying to hit billable hours, targets, and billing clients and managing teams, and then they're doing this on the side, which is like, what is the strategy of our firm going to be?Stuart: Yeah. The managing partner at that firm doesn't actually practice and doesn't work with clients any longer. His full time job was running the firm. But the other six members of the executive committee were active leading senior partners inside the firm who ran practice groups, had responsibility for the most important clients at the firm, that kind of thing. So they had to juggle all the strategy responsibilities and talk through all the business decisions at the same time as maintaining an active practice.Edward: Then why bring you on as a CMO? Why not head of strategy or chief strategy officer?Stuart: I was essentially in charge of business development, marketing, and strategy for the firm. I became a non-voting member of the executive committee. So I had an opportunity to attend all the executive committee meetings and participate in all the decision making that went on from that point forward.Edward: Why call it marketing? The three months you spent were doing strategy work for the firm and now you come on board to implement it, but they're calling you marketing.Stuart: I think the intention wasn't for me to do a lot of marketing work, but they had a 14-person marketing department. I was nominally replacing the person who had run the marketing department. The thought was at the time, it's a high-performing group, it won't require a lot of your time. But a lot of the stuff that you're going to do with clients and with the overall strategy we want of the firm, we want that to dovetail nicely with what the marketing department is doing.Edward: Got it. When you were at McKinsey, were you a marketing specialist, or are you more of a strategic specialist?Stuart: I was more on the strategy side. The first marketing job I ever had was chief marketing officer, which is an odd path for sure.Edward: Yeah, I get that. Now you're at Torys and you're the CMO. How much time are you spending on marketing versus what you'd call strategy?Stuart: I would say it changed. I was there for 6 ½ years. I would say the first two or three years, there was a lot of strategy work, there was a lot of organizational work, getting the office in New York and Toronto to work well together. We ultimately then went on to open an office in Calgary while I was there. They've since opened a couple more, but there were three when I left.There was a lot of work like that that I did. But ultimately, positioning the firm in the market became a big important part of my job. How we represented the firm out into the market and a lot of the things that I think of is marketing like pricing, how we treat our alumni from the firm, and things like that. That became a bigger part of my role over time.Edward: How did you learn those skills? Was it just learning from your direct reports, the people had been doing marketing?Stuart: Yeah. I would say I had some learning from the team. It was a strong team, so I was able to leverage that. In particular, for things where you don't have a lot of experience naturally from just being part of companies and working your way up. There are things like running events and some of the marketing stuff. I had very good outside advisors. I had an excellent advisor who I really trusted and came to rely on heavily who was helping me with public relations and some of the other things that I didn't know very much about.In my second week at the firm, there was a situation where the firm was in all the newspapers, and reporters were calling me, and I went out to talk to my assistant. I said, why are all these reporters calling me? She informed me that I was the chief spokesperson for the firm, which hadn't come up in the interview process.I ended up having to deal with this situation and having never been trained on any of that stuff, just really at the start trying not to make any horrible mistakes. But pretty quickly, I realized that I needed someone to come in and give me some media training and how to be able to handle those kinds of questions without inadvertently making the problems worse for the firm.Edward: That's crisis communications. It's not just a CMO specialty. It's a subspecialty within public relations, which was a specialty. It's right down there. You thrust into that without any background in it, it's got to be challenging.Stuart: It was challenging for a couple of reasons. One was—this is going back a little bit but—blogs were coming out. I'd have the Wall Street Journal Law Blog calling me about this situation looking for a comment within just a couple of minutes because they're about to go live with this. It wasn't like these or newspaper articles that were going to come out the next day. These were a lot of things that were going to be going online within minutes and you have to provide a comment.Oftentimes, with regards to a courtroom situation, I had people in the courtroom who were providing me with updates. But if I hadn't gotten an update by the time reporters were already reaching out to me, I was in a certain sense flying blind. I had two individual lawyers who were really involved in this case who were providing testimony. I felt a lot of responsibility for their situation, their individual careers, and how their reputations were going to come out of this.Because I believed then, I believe now that they hadn't done anything wrong. But there were a lot of things that were being suggested and you want to be very careful about how you manage that because it wasn't just the firm's brand that I was trying to protect, I was also trying to protect those two individuals and make sure that the things suggested about them weren't accurate.Edward: I want to go back a little bit on the path that you took to get there. What were you passionate about when you were 12–14 years old?Stuart: I would say I had two passions, which were really just sports and music. I was either outside playing sports or I was inside listening to music. Those were the two things that I was really passionate about.Edward: Where did that lead? You did a lot of music at that age. I tend to believe that the stuff you do at that age does carry through the rest of your life. Did it for you? Is music still a thing and it didn't affect your career in any way?Stuart: It is still a thing. I still have an active band that we play in clubs around Toronto when pandemics aren't stopping us from doing so, which is a great outlet for me, and write songs and things like that. It gives a creative outlet for me for sure. I ended up going on to play sports all through university. I was the captain of my university volleyball teams. I was on the university hockey team.I played that way.I think you'll learn a lot of skills in terms of teamwork, leadership, overcoming adversity, and things like that when you're playing sports all the way through.Edward: Related to this, is there anything that you believe strongly that many other people don't?Stuart: One of the things that I came away from McKinsey really thinking was that most of the time when I would go into an organization and spend time with the senior leadership, there was really not a lot of magic to it. You meet these people, they'd be smart and talented people. But a lot of the business challenges that we were working on were not enormously complex. Sometimes that outside perspective was really valuable or the ability to look at a lot of data and pull out some insights that they could action were. But actually, it was really taken by how straightforward a lot of the business challenges that we were working on were.In particular, one of the things that really, I think, separates good consulting from bad consulting is the degree to which people are actually bringing creativity and ideas to the table. That's carried forward in my legal law firm career. I used to say to the lawyers at Torys, and I say it to my lawyers now all the time, that if you want to demonstrate thought leadership, it actually involves thinking. You have to sit down and think about it.If all you're doing is reporting like, well, here's what the government just announced and here's what the rule is now, that's not really thought leadership, that's reporting. But if you want to actually demonstrate thought leadership, you take the time, you put some thought into it. I really enjoyed that part of my consulting career. Where I had an opportunity to take a problem and try to come up with a creative or innovative solution to it, or think about it in a way that they hadn't thought about it before, as opposed to just, well, this is a strategy study so let me get out the slides to have the pillars in it because that's what we do on strategy studies kind of thing. I think that's one of the things that I've tried to bring to the rest of my career following consulting.Edward: What did you do when you graduated college? What were you thinking at the time? Where did you go?Stuart: I'd had two plays that I wrote in university that got put on, one by the Halifax Theatre Explosion Festival or whatever. I had the opportunity to sit in the audience and listen to actors on stage saying my lines and reciting the rants, speeches, or whatever I had told my jokes. I just found that intoxicating. I really loved it.When I graduated from university, I wanted to be a reporter or a writer of some kind. I did think about going to journalism school. I actually went through the steps of applying to journalism school but ended up concluding that actually creative writing, screenplays, a novel, or something like that were more what I was interested in doing. That's what I thought I was going to do after I graduated from university.Edward: Did you say thought? So you did not go that path. What happened?Stuart: I did one of those traditional post-university backpacking trips across Europe visiting a lot of countries and journaling through a lot of that. Doing a lot of writing while I did that and then I came back and determined that I really wanted to focus on this. So I ended up actually moving to Hawaii, really just as a place that I thought would be a lovely place to spend some time where I wouldn't know anybody and I could really focus on writing and just see if I had things to say and things that I wanted to express.The interesting part was that you're right, I did finish a few things. I was pretty critical of my own writing, I would say. I wasn't really sure that I had the right career path for myself and ended up after about a year coming back and then starting to get a job.Edward: You chose Hawaii. Do you think you would have had more success if you'd gone to a colder or more miserable place?Stuart: Maybe. Actually, I found the environment pretty inspiring. I took up running and eventually became a scuba diver. I lived with three guys who were all surfers. There was a certain uniqueness to the place, which I think also was helpful to the effort.Edward: So then you came back to Canada and you started working in the supply chain. Is that right?Stuart: Yeah.Edward: How did that carry through to the rest of your career? What did you learn there that was valuable?Stuart: I think supply chain logistics was a great foundation because it's all about problem-solving and it's all about problem solving under difficult circumstances or constrained resources. I would be faced with challenges like, this truck is hitting 8 hours north with 21 pallets of groceries and 1 pallet of meat was left behind. Now, what are you going to do because you can't have the grocery stores that are six or eight hours north of the city not have meat to sell?You can't just put that one pallet on a truck and ship it up there because the economics don't make sense. You got to get creative and figure out how you're going to solve that problem.I did some really interesting projects there. We opened up a new distribution center for slow-moving goods. I got to design those systems for Loblaws across the province of Ontario, which was great. I eventually got to lead a three-shift operation for Loblaws where I had 230 people who I was responsible for. I had to learn how to communicate with people on other shifts that I wouldn't actually see and have a chance to speak with directly before they started their work that day.There were a lot of things that I learned from that experience, which I think have helped me throughout my career for sure.Edward: What was the biggest failure point in your career? Where did things not go as expected?Stuart: Definitely after I left Torys, things didn't go as expected. I would say there were two things. One was I was really disappointed after I left Torys to then start to look at what my career choices were at that point and to learn how little that law firm marketing experience was valued outside of the law firm world. I really thought that Torys was the best law firm marketing job in the city of Toronto. I wasn't looking to do that again after I left.After 6 ½ years, I really felt like the partners had heard everything I had to say. They would know what I was going to recommend to them with regards to a client before I even opened my mouth. I really felt like the impact I was having was a lot less after six years. It's the right time to leave, but going on to do something afterward, there was really a sense of, it's not the kind of marketing experience that you're looking for.You're senior enough that you can't go into the junior marketing roles that maybe would give you the chance to get the experience to move into the senior marketing roles in a consumer goods company, for example. You can't go into those roles, but also, you haven't done all the jobs coming up that would prepare you to be the head of a marketing team that's much larger than when I was managing at Torys.That part, I came to view as, I didn't necessarily make the best choices as to what to do with my career next. I ended up going out and starting my own company, which was a learning experience, but it didn't go well. There were a lot of things that I, in retrospect, could see that I did wrong that I could redo. It was really when I got into the chief operating officer roles that I moved into next that my career went in the right direction again.Edward: Is there any learning from that? Is it like, hey, you learned that, maybe you can pass it on to somebody else? But going forward in your career, is there anything to take away from that like, hey, don't get yourself trapped in a situation like that again?Stuart: I'd be curious to see what happens next. I may have done the exact same thing to me now being someone who's not a lawyer but is the CEO of a law firm. The firm has done very well. I think Caravel Law has been very successful in my three-plus years as CEO. However, I'm not sure what opportunities there will be for me after this.If there's a next act, what that would be is a little bit unclear. I guess maybe I haven't learned that lesson as well as I should have. But for sure, I think, to make those choices intentionally, and I'm thinking about it more than I did the first go-around.Edward: What are your productivity tricks? What do you do to be productive that most people don't do?Stuart: One of the things that I think was particularly helpful early on in my career—when I had things happening on another shift that I wouldn't actually be there and see—is I don't try to overly control what my team is doing. I'm fortunate at Caravel. We have a great team. I have people that work with me that I really trust and rely on. But I'm not scared of mistakes, something getting out that doesn't go particularly well, or an ad that maybe comes out and some of the lawyers are not big fans of.These are all things that you learn not to stress too much about and taking the time to try to get complete control over those sorts of items so that no mistakes happen, nothing gets out that shouldn't have, that the team is perfectly managed at all times. I think one of the keys is to trust. I trust my team. If they make a mistake, we work through it, we come out the other side of it, and everything's going to be fine.Edward: Stuart, this has been great. We're going to pick this up in part two when we dive into some of the work you did in the law firms.Stuart: That sounds great. This is a public episode.

Wir sprechen mit dem ehemaligen Gesundheitsminister Ben Bradshaw (Labour), dem Edinburgher Wissenschaftler Jan Eichhorn und unserem Korrespondenten in London.

In this episode of Torys in 10, private equity partners Mike Akkawi and Guy Berman discuss some of the findings from PE Pulse, Torys’ private equity sentiment survey, the first survey of its kind in the Canadian market. In the podcast, the pair focus on two main takeaways from the survey, which took the opinions and market sentiments of over 100 private equity and pension fund players in Canada. The first takeaway is the large deal sizes the PE market saw in 2019 and the reported expectations that these deal sizes will stay the same or increase moving forward. The second is fundraising and how pension fund survey respondents said their allocation of private equity will either stay the same or increase throughout the year—this is in spite of the fact that many respondents said it was going to be more difficult to raise capital. Tune in for Mike and Guy’s full analysis on the survey. You can get all of the findings and commentary in PE Pulse here: https://www.torys.com/insights/publications/2020/02/pe-pulse-2020.

This week we are joined by Vic Parsons (PinkNews.co.uk gender & identity reporter) to commiserate over more Tory rule. We talk: How do we report on this? Why is everyone in the media lying about trans issues? Can there be too much cheese? Also we talk JK Rowling's heel turn against the trans community, more equality act attacks and Scotland having ANOTHER GRA reform consultation.

Im Fokus liegen die Neuwahlen in Großbritannien. Gibt es noch eine Chance auf einen "Brexmas"? Könnten die Briten mit ihrer Wahl eine Weihnachtsrallye auslösen, also einen Brexmas? David Iusow: "Ein positiver Ausgang der Wahl wäre eine absolute Mehrheit für Boris Johnson und seiner Partei den Torys. Das ist auch das, was die meisten erwarten. Auch Umfragen signalisierten das. Dann könnten wir auch positive Impulse für dem Markt zu sehen bekommen, insbesondere im Britischen Pfund!" Ein Wahlsieg der Konservativen Partei von Premierminister Boris würde bedeuteten, dass Großbritannien die Europäische Union am 31. Januar 2020 verlässt.
Obama gebruikte destijds een parlementair reces om Obamacare erdoor te drukken, Trumps allereerste decreet, op de dag van zijn inauguratie ook een reces was een procedure om Obamacare af te schaffen. Wie kent inmiddels niet die op een elektrocardiogram gelijkende handtekening van The Donald, onder decreet na decreet? Voor de duidelijkheid: er is allemaal niets illegaals aan, het mag, want ook het net van democratische wetten kent mazen. Brexit-Boris heeft een democratisch vacuüm nodig om zijn belofte uiterlijk op 31 oktober uit de Europese Unie waar te maken. Dus vroeg hij de koningin om in oktober een troonrede te houden, en kondigde een daaraan voorafgaande verdaging van het parlement aan. Lagerhuis een maand uitgeschakeld beetje lang, maar het mag. Dat was truc 1. Truc 2: hij dreigde alle Torys die met de oppositie tegen zijn radicale Bexit-voorstel wilden stemmen inpakken en wegwezen uit de EU, met of zonder deal uit de partij te zetten. Zijn eigen, conservatieve partij, dus. Een kolossaal maar berekend risico, want hij wist dat hij daarmee een stemming in het Lagerhuis zou verliezen. En hij weigert op de voorhand gehoor te geven aan een eis van het Lagerhuis om Brussel opnieuw om uitstel te vragen. De consequentie van dit alles: algemene verkiezingen, waarop hij natuurlijk bewust aanstuurt. En misschien pas na 31 oktober. Dat is truc 3. In BNR Beurswatch sprak analist Marc Langeveld over brexit-moeheid en de markten die er duidelijk wel klaar mee zijn. De markt heeft altijd gelijk, en wacht terecht hoe het brexit-feuilleton afloopt. Maar het gemarchandeer met de democratie om het Britse volk een gedrocht door de strot te drukken dat blijft een adembenemend schouwspel. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Richtungsentscheidungen an vielen Orten. Die Europäische Kommission sucht händeringend nach einem Nachfolger, einer Nachfolgerin für Jean-Claude Juncker. Das Spitzenkandidatenmodell wurde über Bord geworfen, einige Bürger sehen sich getäuscht. Auch in Großbritannien wird nach neuem Führungspersonal gesucht. Es wird ein neuer Tory-Chef gesucht, der dann auch Premierminister wird. Das Zerren um die Posten hat begonnen. Aktuell sind noch der jetzige Außenminister Jeremy Hunt und der ehemalige Außenminister Boris Johnson im Rennen. Wird es der Technokrat Hunt, oder der Insel-Trump Johnson? Ich habe mit dem Tory-Abgeordneten und ehemaligen britischen Handelsminister Greg Hands darüber gesprochen.
Das Misstrauensvotum der Torys in England verleitet doch zu einem spontanen Podcast mit Steve Hudson. Am Ende kann ich sagen Frau May hat das Vertrauen der Mehrheit ihrer Fraktion, die Brexitkathastrophe wird das aber nicht verhinder.

1. Gaat Boris Johnson Theresa May van de troon stoten? Als je afgaat op de enorme herrie die hij maakt, zou je het bijna denken. Die herrie ontstond toen hij aftrad als minister van buitenlandse zaken uit onvrede met het zogenoemde Checkers Akkoord. Dat was een overeenkomst van het kabinet met de top van de Conservatieve partij over een Brexit-voorstel aan de EU om het vrije verkeer van goederen te behouden. Het opmerkelijke was dat Johnson dat akkoord eerst had goedgekeurd, en er meteen daarna met theatraal gespeelde walging afstand van nam. Toen dachten veel mensen: dit kost Theresa de kop en stuwt Boris naar de top. Maar de partij steunt toch in meerderheid May. 2. Wat voor premier zou Johnson zijn? In elk geval en geestige, want hij beschikt over een enorme dosis van die opmerkelijke Britse humor. Maar inhoudelijk is hij een blaaskaak en die humor deugt vaak niet. Bijvoorbeeld zijn kwalificatie van vrouwen met boerka, die hij wandelende brievenbussen noemde. Zijn Brexit-beleid is: niets doen en de zaak laten vastlopen, in de verwachting dat er dan mooie handelsakkoorden komen met bijvoorbeeld de VS en China. Europa kan, zogezegd, doodvallen. 3. Als het Johnson niet lukt om May af te serveren, wat gebeurt er dan met de Conservatieven? Dan blijft May gewoon partijleider, en ik vermoed dat ze na verkiezingen ook premier zou blijven. Ja, de Torys zijn hopeloos verdeeld, maar ze moeten om puur politiek-strategische redenen de eenheid toch herstellen. 4. Hoe staat de Labour-oppositie van Jeremy Corbyn ervoor? Niet goed, en dat heeft vooral te maken met Corbyns leiderschap. Hij zwalkt bij ongeveer elk onderwerp, vooral over de Brexit. Het is mij een raadsel wat hij gaat doen als het op een definitieve stemming over een Brexit-akkoord komt. Bovendien is hij verwikkeld in een onsmakelijke discussie over zijn onmiskenbaar antisemitische uitspraken in het verleden, waarvan hij niet echt afstand neemt. 5. Een nieuwe regering-May, dus? Ik vermoed het. Al zijn de verhoudingen fragiel. In het Lagerhuis steunt de Conservatieve partij op de steun van de Noord-Ierse conservatieven. Bepaald stabiel is dat niet. Een comfortabele meerderheid zit er ook in de toekomst niet in. Dank, Marius Smit. In de Wereld volgens Hammelburg beantwoord ik elke zaterdag vijf vragen over een internationaal thema.

Lässt sich der Brexit doch noch verhindern? Beim Parteitag der oppositionellen Labour Party wird die Forderung nach einem „People’s Vote“, einem zweiten Referendum immer lauter, während das Chaos bei den Torys wächst.
