Unsere freien Stellen: https://join.com/companies/broes-media In dieser Folge des Onlineshop Geflüster Podcasts geht es um eine Sache, die ich bei vielen Shopbetreibern beobachte und auch bei mir selbst kenne: die endlose To-Do-Liste, die nie leer wird, und der Satz "ich komme nicht zu den strategischen Themen, ich muss erst das Operative in den Griff kriegen". Das ist in den meisten Fällen eine Ausrede. Die Liste ist real, aber das Problem ist, dass abgepackte Päckchen, beantwortete Support-Nachrichten und der nächste Social Media Post sofort Dopamin liefern. Strategische Arbeit nicht. Du baust an einer Landingpage, optimierst Email Marketing oder testest Creatives und der Impact zeigt sich erst Wochen später, wenn er sich überhaupt zeigt. Also flüchtest du zurück in die 15-Euro-Stunden-Aufgaben, die du eigentlich abgeben oder über KI laufen lassen solltest. Ich gehe in der Folge an einem konkreten Beispiel aus meinem eigenen Alltag durch, wie ich entscheide was ich schiebe und was ich anpacke, warum die Frage nicht ist wann du Zeit findest, sondern wann du sie dir nimmst, und welche drei oder vier Hebel im Shop wirklich darüber entscheiden ob aus 30k im Monat 300k werden.

Does your dog turn into a water fountain every time they greet another dog or person? This week, we're exploring why some dogs urinate when they get too excited and how this embarrassing, awkward (and sometimes hilarious) behaviour can actually open the door to growing super valuable skills for our dogs. Whether they seem to love people just a bit too much or can't control themselves every time they see another dog, we'll explore why this behaviour isn't just the result of poor toilet training and what their brain might actually be telling them under the surface. We'll discuss a few of our top tips and tricks to help your dog make better choices, plus why your dog's pee might actually be the secret to all-round behaviour progress!  ................Whether your dog is unpredictable with other dogs or predictably bad…Whether it looks like freezing, barking, lunging or running away…Whether you are just starting out on your dog-owning journey or your dog has been labelled as having a “behaviour problem”…… this episode is for you and is going to give you huge insights!Want to join the Help!

Unsere freien Stellen: https://join.com/companies/broes-media In dieser Folge des Onlineshop Geflüster Podcasts geht es um einen Satz, den ich ständig höre: Ich bin Produktmensch, kein Zahlenmensch. Genau das ist oft der Grund, warum ein Shop irgendwann nicht mehr weiterwächst. Viele Brands starten als kreative Idee oder als Hobby, von Quereinsteigern mit Leidenschaft fürs Produkt und ohne BWL-Hintergrund. Das Bauchgefühl und ein gutes Produkt tragen dich erstaunlich weit, meistens bis irgendwo zwischen 20.000 und 100.000 Euro Monatsumsatz. Ich kenne das gut, ich habe Mathe im Abi gehasst und in meinem eigenen Shop lange nicht verstanden, dass manche Bestellungen unterm Strich sogar Geld gekostet haben. Ab einem gewissen Punkt reicht der Riecher allein aber nicht mehr, um auf 200.000, 500.000 oder eine Million im Monat zu kommen, dafür läuft E-Commerce zu datenbasiert. Die gute Nachricht: Du musst dafür kein Controller werden. Im Kern geht es um drei Zahlen. Erstens, wie viel du für einen Neukunden ausgeben kannst und ab wann er profitabel ist. Zweitens, wie viel Umsatz deine Bestandskunden bringen müssen, um die Fixkosten zu decken. Und drittens, wie viel du pro Tag innerhalb dieser Kennzahlen ausgeben darfst, um deine Ziele zu erreichen. Diese drei Zahlen steuern schon einen Großteil deines Unternehmens. Dein Geschmack und dein Bauchgefühl bleiben deine Stärke, aber sie müssen mit den Zahlen Hand in Hand gehen. Wenn du gerade stagnierst und nicht planbar sagen kannst, woher der nächste Wachstumsschritt kommt, fehlt dir genau diese Struktur. Viel Spaß beim Anhören!

Unsere freien Stellen: https://join.com/companies/broes-media In dieser Folge des Onlineshop Geflüster Podcasts geht es um ein sensibles Thema: Wie viel Gehalt zahlst du dir eigentlich selbst aus? Ich kenne viele Shopbetreiber, die ordentliche Umsätze machen, 50.000, 100.000, manchmal 150.000 Euro im Monat, und sich trotzdem nur 2.000 Euro netto auszahlen, teils weniger, teils gar nichts. In der Anfangsphase ist das okay. Aber wer den Shop langfristig aufbaut, muss irgendwann an den Punkt kommen, an dem privat genug hängenbleibt, um gut zu leben und nicht nur über die Runden zu kommen. Ich spreche aus Erfahrung, ich habe mir selbst lange kein vernünftiges Gehalt gezahlt. Deshalb rechne ich es in dieser Folge konkret durch. Für 5.000 Euro netto im Monat brauchst du rund 9.000 Euro brutto, weil du nah am Spitzensteuersatz bist. Dazu Rücklagen für die Unternehmenssteuern und einen Puffer fürs Wachstum, macht etwa 10.000 bis 20.000 Euro Profit im Monat. Bei einer realistischen Marge von 10 bis 20 Prozent bedeutet das 150.000 bis 200.000 Euro Netto-Umsatz, also nach Steuern, Rabatten und Retouren, nicht die Zahl, die du in Shopify siehst. Darunter ist ein Shop für die meisten eher ein zeitintensives Hobby. Wer sich jeden Tag den Arsch aufreißt und trotzdem am Existenzminimum lebt, betreibt auf Dauer Selbstausbeutung. Dann braucht es entweder bessere Zahlen oder eine ehrliche Entscheidung. Viel Spaß beim Anhören!

Unsere freien Stellen: https://join.com/companies/broes-media In dieser Folge des Onlineshop Geflüster Podcasts geht es um eine Frage, die kaum jemand ausspricht, die sich aber viele Shopbetreiber insgeheim stellen: Bin ich zu blöd, meinen eigenen Onlineshop zu führen? Ich kenne dieses Gefühl selbst. Wenn der eigene Shop stagniert, wenn man Dinge probiert, von denen man überzeugt war, und das Ergebnis bleibt aus, dann liegt der Gedanke nah, dass etwas mit einem selbst nicht stimmt. Gerade weil so viel von einem selbst in dem Shop steckt. Aber ein Umsatzplateau hat fast immer mechanische Ursachen, die nichts mit dir als Person zu tun haben. Ich nehme dafür das Bild vom Auto: Wenn ich einen kaputten Motor reparieren müsste, würde ich es nicht hinbekommen, weil ich die Mechanik nicht kenne. Das macht mich nicht dumm. Genauso ist Stagnation kein Charaktertest, sondern ein fehlendes Bauteil. In neun von zehn Fällen hakt es im System, am Shop, am Angebot, an den Kennzahlen, den Creatives oder am Tracking, und nicht an dir. Niemand ist zu blöd für seinen eigenen Shop. Meistens stimmt nur an ein paar Stellen die Mechanik noch nicht. Viel Spaß beim Anhören!

La visibilité d'une entreprise dans les LLM s'impose désormais comme un enjeu concret pour les enseignes, à mesure que ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini ou Perplexity remplacent le réflexe de recherche via Google. Nicolas Marette, fondateur et CEO de Custplace, a mesuré un écart préoccupant entre les données réelles des points de vente et ce que restituent les intelligences artificielles génératives. Je l’ai interviewé à l'occasion de la sortie de Local Profile, la solution que sa société vient de lancer pour corriger ce biais. Voici le résumé de notre entretien que vous trouverez également dans le podcast du jour, le 680ème de la série. La visibilité d'une entreprise dans les LLM mise à l'épreuve des chiffres Comment placer son magasin dans les LLM pour être visible, augmenter sa fréquentation et même son chiffre d’affaires ? Nicolas Marette de Custplace a la réponse à la question. Photographie Yann Gourvennec, antimuseum.com Un écart mesuré sur cinq cents points de vente Les fiches Google sont‑elles fidèlement restituées par les IA génératives ? Custplace a comparé cinq cents établissements clients, à jour sur leurs informations, avec ce que restituaient ChatGPT, Claude et Perplexity. Le test a été répété dix fois sur trois mois, avec la même adresse IP, pour tenir compte du non‑déterminisme des réponses. Résultat, un écart de 41 % a été constaté, principalement sur les horaires. « On a essayé de faire quelque chose de relativement scientifique, dit Nicolas Marette. Dire que c'est figé dans le marbre à 41 % n'est pas évident, mais ça reflète une tendance qui est nette. » L'explication de ce phénomène tient à la nature même des IA génératives. Elles n'agissent pas comme un annuaire mis à jour en continu. « Elles vont chercher ce qu'elles ont pu récupérer précédemment », précise Nicolas Marette, et non systématiquement les données les plus récentes. Certains moteurs sont‑ils plus fiables que d'autres ? Les écarts entre modèles restent limités. « On a vu que ChatGPT était plus fiable en termes d'écart et Claude un peu moins », note Nicolas Marette, mais la différence se joue à la marge. Aucun moteur ne s'est révélé nettement supérieur, ce qui a conduit Custplace à généraliser sa mesure plutôt qu'à établir un classement précis par LLM. Pour les enseignes, la lumière est au bout du tunnel, avec des outils comme Local Profile de Custplace qui permet d’améliorer la visibilité de son entreprise dans les LLM. Photographie Yann Gourvennec antimuseum.com Des erreurs différentes selon la nature des données S’agit-il d’erreurs sur les informations factuelles ou des éléments plus subjectifs ? Les deux catégories sont concernées, mais pour des raisons distinctes. Les adresses varient peu et sont donc rarement erronées, tandis que les horaires changent régulièrement, d'où l'écart constaté. La réputation, elle, obéit à une logique différente. Les IA croisent plusieurs plateformes d'avis (Google, mais aussi Trustpilot ou des acteurs spécialisés par secteur comme Custplace) et en tirent un indice de cohérence, alors que Google privilégie ses propres avis. « Les réseaux qui j’agrègent que les avis Google délaissent ceux de Pages jaunes ou de Trustpilot, et sont donc plus pénalisés », observe Nicolas Marette. Le mécanisme derrière le facteur 2,1 Comment expliquez‑vous que votre contenu soit cité 2,1 fois plus souvent que le contenu brut ? Local Profile n'a pas été conçu en adaptant d'anciennes fiches établissement. Custplace est reparti d'une page blanche, structurée nativement en JSON‑LD selon le schéma schema.org LocalBusiness, pensée pour être lue par des machines plutôt que par des internautes. La plateforme agrège les avis de plus de cent sources, les publications sociales et un générateur de FAQ automatisé, actualisé chaque nuit. 2 fois plus de citations dans les réponses des LLM avec Local Place de Custplace. Source : CP Custplace 3 juin 2026 Ces pages ne sont pas faites pour le SEO, même si elles servent au référencement, précise Nicolas Marette. Elles ont vraiment été conçues pour que les IA aillent sourcer nos données et les restituer L'ambition affichée dépasse le doublement déjà obtenu (cf. ci-dessus). Custplace vise à devenir une source privilégiée des moteurs conversationnels, un levier direct pour la visibilité des entreprises dans les LLM qu'elle accompagne. Sur ce point, rappelons toutefois que le GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) reste une discipline émergente. C’est ce que nous rappelle Natacha dans notre article sur le GEO, l'AEO et l'AIO. Un radar de confiance pour arbitrer les sources Comment gérez‑vous les incohérences entre une centaine de sources d'avis ? Custplace a développé un radar de confiance qui agrège quatre indicateurs, le taux de réponse des enseignes, leur délai de réponse, un indice de cohérence des notes d'une plateforme à l'autre, et la fraîcheur des avis. Un établissement noté de façon homogène sur plusieurs plateformes inspire davantage confiance aux modèles qu'un établissement excellent sur une seule d'entre elles. Cette cohérence, plus que la note brute, oriente les recommandations des IA. Nicolas Marette, fondateur et CEO de Custplace Nicolas Marette a créé Custplace en 2007. Avant de lancer la plateforme, il a dirigé le pôle média et performance de Business Interactif (devenu Digitas), et a occupé un poste de chef de groupe digital chez MindShare (WPP), en charge des budgets en ligne d'IBM, Clarins et Symantec. Custplace accompagne aujourd'hui plus de 100 000 établissements et de grands réseaux européens tels que Fnac‑Darty, EDF, Optical Center et Verisure. En juin 2026, l'entreprise a lancé Local Profile, une solution conçue pour rendre les établissements visibles et fiables dans les réponses des IA génératives. À qui s'adresse Local Profile, et à quel prix La solution est‑elle réservée aux grands réseaux ? La création d'une fiche de base reste gratuite, y compris pour un commerce indépendant. L'enjeu de Custplace se concentre toutefois sur les grands réseaux multi‑établissements, où la coordination entre siège et points de vente pose des problèmes spécifiques. L'accompagnement des indépendants figure parmi les projets à venir. L’écran de gestion Local Profile de sa présence sur les LLM. L’outil est plutôt fait pour les grands réseaux de distribution et les grandes marques. Cependant, un indépendant peut quand même l’utiliser à l’instar de Visionary Marketing. Quel est le modèle économique pour les fonctionnalités avancées ? L'abonnement payant, qui inclut les tableaux de bord de citation et un moteur d'IA propre à chaque fiche, démarre à 35 euros par mois et par établissement. Le tarif est dégressif selon la taille du réseau. Mesurer l'impact réel en magasin Le chiffre de 25 % de trafic en progression concerne‑t‑il le web ou la fréquentation physique ? Il s'agit bien de fréquentation en magasin. La méthode reste empirique. Custplace active les fiches sur certains points de vente partenaires, puis interroge les directeurs de magasin sur l'origine de la visite. Pour les acteurs omnicanaux, un suivi plus précis du trafic web complète la mesure. « L'enjeu, c'est vraiment l'augmentation des recommandations qu'on mesure, et l'impact que ça a en trafic », résume Nicolas Marette. Quelle proportion de consommateurs utilise une IA avant de se rendre en magasin ? Custplace ne dispose pas de données en propre sur ce point. Nicolas s’appuie sur une enquête Ifop évaluant à 35 % l'usage d'un LLM pour se renseigner sur une marque. Il reconnaît un biais méthodologique. Son entreprise mesure une audience presque exclusivement issue des IA, puisque ses pages sont conçues pour elles. À titre de comparaison, une étude plus récente menée par iAdvize et l'Ifop situe à 63 % la part des Français utilisant déjà l'IA générative au quotidien. Un chiffre en hausse de 19 points en moins d'un an. 63 % des Français utilisent déjà l'IA générative au quotidien (+19% en moins d'un an) Un site web, désormais pensé pour les robots Le rôle d'un site web change‑t‑il de nature ? Le constat est net. « On assiste vraiment à un changement de paradigme. Il convient désormais de faire des sites web pour des robots », affirme Nicolas Marette. Le volume de requêtes automatisées venant des IA génératives pose d'ailleurs des problèmes concrets de charge serveur, sans commune mesure avec le crawl historique de Google. Aujourd’hui, les sites Web doivent être faits pour les robots Quelle fourchette de chiffre d'affaires additionnel les enseignes peuvent‑elles espérer ? Custplace annonce entre 6 % et 20 %, une fourchette large qui dépend fortement du secteur et de l'implication des équipes locales. Les résultats varient également selon la sensibilité de chaque directeur de magasin à remonter l'information, ce que Custplace tente de compenser par des outils automatisés. les-chiffres-cles-visibilite-entreprise-llm Infographie récapitulant les chiffres cités dans cet article, sources, communiqué de presse Custplace du 3 juin 2026, interview de Nicolas Marette du 7 juillet 2026, étude iAdvize x Ifop de janvier 2026 et étude Ifop x Ad's up Consulting de mai 2025. Les-chiffres-cles visibilite entreprise LLMDownload La question de la différenciation Qu'est‑ce qui différencie Local Profile de concurrents comme Yext ? Deux éléments. D'une part, l'hébergement des données, certifié ISO 27001 chez Scaleway, sans transmission aux modèles d'entraînement. D'autre part, un choix structurel, Custplace se positionne comme éditeur des pages établissement, quand Yext se contente de connecter des plateformes tierces. Custplace accompagne déjà des réseaux dans dix‑huit pays et prévoit une extension aux États‑Unis d'ici la fin de l'année. Avis clients, la bataille de la fiabilité Comment expliquez‑vous la disparition récente de nombreux avis sur Google ? Nicolas Marette pointe une opacité totale du côté de Google, qui a supprimé des millions d'avis sans explication claire. Custplace privilégie une autre approche, les avis sont sollicités après un acte d'achat vérifié, via API, avec preuve d'achat à l'appui. « On peut garantir légalement que ce sont des vrais avis », insiste‑t‑il. Selon lui, les IA elles‑mêmes accordent une valeur d'authenticité supérieure à ce type de source par rapport aux avis spontanés. Le conseil de Nicolas Marette aux équipes marketing Que recommandez‑vous à une équipe marketing qui découvre ce sujet aujourd'hui ? Son conseil est simple : tester, avant tout. Nicolas Marette invite les enseignes à formuler elles‑mêmes des requêtes consommateurs sur différents moteurs, à observer les sources citées, puis à en tirer des enseignements. Il situe cette démarche dans le champ plus large du GEO, le Generative Engine Optimization, une discipline encore jeune mais appelée à structurer durablement la visibilité des entreprises dans les LLM, aux côtés du SEO traditionnel et de Google Business Profile. GUIDE GEO CUSTPLACE LOCAL PROFILE À propos de Custplace Custplace est un éditeur français dédié au pilotage de la réputation et du marketing local. Connectée à plus de cent plateformes (Google, Apple, Meta, sites d'avis, réseaux sociaux, places de marché), elle centralise, analyse et structure l'ensemble des signaux locaux (avis, notes, données établissements) pour optimiser la visibilité et la conversion de chaque point de vente. Avec le lancement de Local Profile, Custplace franchit une nouvelle étape, des pages marques et établissements conçues nativement pour les moteurs d'IA, intégrant des avis certifiés NF et des données locales enrichies. Custplace accompagne aujourd'hui plus de 100 000 établissements et de grands réseaux européens tels que Fnac‑Darty, Verisure, EDF ou Optical Center. Selon Nicolas, et même si le GEO est un chantier en cours, la visibilité d'une entreprise dans les LLM ne remplace pas le référencement classique, elle viendrait s’y ajouter. Les enseignes qui ignorent la nouvelle grille de lecture des LLM s'exposent à devenir invisibles auprès d'une audience qui interroge désormais une IA avant de pousser la porte d'un magasin.

Could pain secretly be causing your dog's sudden reactivity or changes in behaviour, even if they aren't showing any outward signs of discomfort? This week we're discussing a super important and valuable topic - how our dogs' health, specifically pain, can influence how they feel, behave and perceive the world around them. While many of us think of the obvious signs of pain, such as limping, slowing down and difficulty completing everyday activities, by putting on our detective hats and looking for the often-missed emotional and behavioural clues, we can better understand how our dogs are really feeling. We'll explore a few key signs that might suggest that your dog is experiencing pain, as well as how lifelong, underlying soreness can hide under the surface, so you can help support your dog through any challenges life throws their way!................Whether your dog is unpredictable with other dogs or predictably bad…Whether it looks like freezing, barking, lunging or running away…Whether you are just starting out on your dog-owning journey or your dog has been labelled as having a “behaviour problem”…… this episode is for you and is going to give you huge insights!Want to join the Help!

Anmeldung zum Live-Workshop: https://www.berend-heins.de/live-q4?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=live-q4 In dieser Folge des Onlineshop Geflüster Podcasts lade ich dich persönlich zu unserem ersten Q4 Live Workshop ein. Termin: Mittwoch, 8. Juli, 19:00. Du fragst dich vielleicht, warum jetzt schon, Q4 ist doch noch zwei Monate weg. Genau das ist der Punkt. Erfolgreiches Q4 wird nicht im November gemacht, sondern im Sommer. Wer ins Jahresendgeschäft mit vollem Konto und voller Email Liste reingeht, holt deutlich mehr raus als die Shops, die im Oktober anfangen sich Gedanken zu machen. Ein volles Konto baust du nicht in einer Woche auf und eine volle Email Liste erst recht nicht. Im Workshop gehen wir den kompletten Fahrplan von August bis Januar mit dir durch. Timing, Reihenfolge der Aktionen, wie du einen roten Faden durch diese Monate bekommst statt Black Friday als einzelnen Tag mit irgendeinem Rabatt zu verbrennen. Und vor allem wie du am Ende mit voller Liste, vollem Konto und ohne Reue rausgehst, dass du deine Marke verheizt hast. Viel Spaß beim Anhören!

Beim nächsten Versuch dasselbe Spiel. Ich erkläre an einem Bild, warum das passiert. Ein Onlineshop ist wie ein Stelzenhaus im Meer. Steht das Ganze nur auf einer Säule, also nur auf einem guten Shop, nur auf einem starken Creative oder nur auf einer guten Conversion Rate, kippt es beim ersten Sturm. Erst ab vier Säulen wird das Fundament so stabil, dass es viel AdSpend aushält. Genau deswegen klappt die Skalierung bei den meisten irgendwann zusammen. Ich gehe durch, welche Säulen das konkret sind, vom Creative-Volumen über Iteration und Vielfalt, Hook-Qualität und Message bis zu Offer, AOV und Conversion Rate. Und ich erkläre warum es fast nie an "der Markt ist zu klein" liegt, sondern fast immer an Sollbruchstellen im eigenen Fundament. Viel Spaß beim Anhören!

On this episode, Sam sits down with Mel K to explore the hidden power structures that emerged after World War II. They examine the Bank for International Settlements, the Bretton Woods agreement, Operation Paperclip, the Dulles brothers, the creation of the CIA, and the declassified plans that reshaped global finance, intelligence, and political power. It's a deep dive into the institutions and events that many believe shaped the modern world behind the scenes.

Ads gehen immer in Vorleistung. Du gibst erst Geld aus, um Umsatz reinzuholen, nicht andersrum. Wenn du mit Neukunden profitabel bist oder den Break Even triffst, ist genau das der Punkt, an dem du mehr ausgeben musst, nicht weniger, denn der Profit kommt über die Bestandskunden. Wer stattdessen nach Bauchgefühl schaltet und nur aufdreht, wenn die Zahlen zufällig gut aussehen, fährt im Blindflug. Eine Kundin ist seit zweieinhalb Monaten bei uns. Vorher hat sie alles über den Shopify Umsatz gesteuert und sich dann gewundert, wenn zwei Monate später die BWA vom Steuerberater kam. Wir haben die Zahlen sauber gemacht, Ziele definiert und den Spend nach und nach hochgedreht, auch als der Umsatz noch nicht gut aussah. Zwei Monate später hat sich der Umsatz von 30.000 auf 150.000 Euro im Monat verfünffacht, und das profitabler als vorher. Wer sein Budget nach Gefühl statt nach klaren Zielen steuert, lässt nicht nur Umsatz liegen, sondern kann auch schnell viel Geld verbrennen. Viel Spaß beim Anhören!

Unsere freien Stellen: https://join.com/companies/broes-media In dieser Folge des Onlineshop Geflüster Podcasts geht es um eine provokante These: 100% Wachstum pro Jahr sind für kleine Onlineshops keine Option, sondern Pflicht. Anfang des Jahres habe ich mit einer Brand, die wir betreuen, über die Jahresziele gesprochen. Knapp eine Million Umsatz in 2025, und die Ambition war: vielleicht 10-20% wachsen. Jetzt ist Juni und der Shop hat sich bereits verdoppelt, 100% Wachstum, obwohl das Mindset am Jahresanfang ein ganz anderes war. Und das in einem Umfeld, das alles andere als einfach ist. 56 Prozent des deutschen E-Commerce-Umsatzes laufen über Marktplätze, bei den Onlineshops bleiben von 95 Milliarden nur rund 42 Milliarden. Gleichzeitig hat sich die Zahl der Shopify Shops in Deutschland von 40.000 Ende 2021 auf 96.000 Ende 2025 mehr als verdoppelt. Mehr Shops, weniger Umsatz pro Shop. Trotzdem ist Wachstum möglich, wenn man die schwierige Wirtschaftslage nicht als bequeme Entschuldigung nimmt. Wer sich darauf ausruht, dass er immerhin nicht verliert, baut kein Unternehmen, von dem am Ende etwas hängenbleibt. Viel Spaß beim Anhören!

Tania Edwards has been in the watch business for over 35 years, and she's seen more change in the past five than at any other time. In this episode she sits down with two of the most influential voices for women in watches, Georgia Benjamin and Courtney Bachrach, to talk about how they got into collecting, why design and storytelling matter, and where women's vintage watch collecting is heading next.Courtney Bachrach (@tinywristcheck) is a New York-based collector, consultant, and content creator who was introduced to watches by her collector father. With a background in strategic business development across luxury brands and a master's degree in art business, she champions what she calls "literate luxury": understanding not just the watch itself, but the cultural context that produced it. Georgia Benjamin (@georgiabenj) is the most followed female content creator in the watch space, a design leader at Adobe, who brings humor, joy, and a design-led eye to collecting through her platform, her Substack The Edit, and the GB Supper Club.Along the way, Tania traces Patek Philippe's advertising through the decades, from the Art Deco cocktail watches and concealed dials of the 1940s, to the jeweled suites of the disco-era 1970s, to the campaigns that changed everything: "Begin your own tradition," the famous "You never actually own a Patek Philippe, you merely take care of it for the next generation," and finally the steel Twenty~4, the watch priced and designed to encourage women to buy for themselves, with its tagline "Who will you be in the next 24 hours."And there's a surprise: an extraordinary collection of 1970s Patek Philippe ladies' jeweled watches, kindly lent by Justin Gruenberg of The Keystone (@the_keystone), including a museum-quality concealed dial and a complete jeweled set of a kind rarely seen outside the Patek Philippe Museum.Whether you're new to collecting or deep in the hunt, this is a conversation about passion, scholarship, and the joy of discovery.Follow our guests: Courtney Bachrach https://www.instagram.com/tinywristcheck/Georgia Benjamin https://www.instagram.com/georgiabenj/

Buying a vintage or pre-owned Patek Philippe can feel overwhelming. The information is scattered, the terminology is confusing, and the stakes are high. Collectability exists to change that.Founded by industry leaders John Reardon and Tania Edwards, Collectability is an award-winning destination for Patek Philippe collectors. Between them, John and Tania have spent decades across every corner of the watch world, in-house at Patek Philippe USA, in the auction world, and most recently with John as international head of watches at Christie's. Few people understand Patek Philippe the way we do. That experience shapes everything we do: we use it to share the facts, from a watch's history and condition to its current market value, so you can decide for yourself whether a watch is right for you.We focus on vintage and pre-owned Patek Philippe for one reason. No other brand has a track record as strong when it comes to holding its value, and as demand for new Patek Philippe grows, we believe vintage and pre-owned pieces offer one of the best value propositions money can buy.But Collectability is more than a place to buy and sell. Education is at the heart of what we do. On our site you'll find an extensive library of articles on Patek Philippe history, the collections, and what we look for when collecting, alongside interviews with experts from across the watch world, the Collectability podcast, and educational videos here on YouTube.If you're ready to learn, discover exceptional pieces, and collect with complete confidence, welcome. We're glad you're here. Subscribe to join us on the journey, and we'll see you in the next video.

In dieser Folge des Onlineshop Geflüster Podcasts beantworte ich eine Frage, die ich immer wieder bekomme: lohnt sich TikTok Shop für meine Brand? TikTok ist in Deutschland inzwischen unter den Top 15 Online Händlern, mit über 25.000 aktiven Sellern und einem Umsatzanteil der über 46-Jährigen von 37 Prozent. Die Plattform funktioniert. Trotzdem ist meine Antwort in 90 Prozent der Anfragen ganz klar Nein. Du erfährst, warum TikTok Shop deutlich aufwendiger ist als Meta Ads, was es wirklich braucht um auf der Plattform Umsatz zu machen (Stichwort 30 bis 50 Content Pieces pro Tag, Livestreaming und Creator Management), und warum du im Bereich zwischen 10k und 200k Monatsumsatz fast immer besser fährst, wenn du erst Meta und Google sauber aufsetzt bevor du überhaupt über TikTok nachdenkst.

Does going out for a walk always leave your dog wanting more, no matter how long it was or how much you did? Whether they pace around, get the zoomies, or even follow you like a shadow, when our dogs struggle to relax after getting home from a good walk, it can leave us feeling pretty confused! This week, we're exploring why some dogs can't seem to switch off after getting in from a walk, and what that might be telling us about their inner stress management. While age-old advice tells us that energetic, over-excited or hyper dogs just need more exercise and stimulation, we could unintentionally be adding little loads of stress onto their brain, leaving them feeling even more restless and frustrated than before they went out! We'll consider what walks could look like for these dogs, including key skills and a few easy changes we can introduce to their daily lives to finally unlock their inner zen!................Whether your dog is unpredictable with other dogs or predictably bad…Whether it looks like freezing, barking, lunging or running away…Whether you are just starting out on your dog-owning journey or your dog has been labelled as having a “behaviour problem”…… this episode is for you and is going to give you huge insights!Want to join the Help!

Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS breaks down the anatomy of a business website. He explains that owning a domain, hosting, and a mailbox are just the starting points; maintaining a website is like maintaining a house. Favour details the risks of platform lock-in (like the migration challenges with Squarespace and Bluehost) and emphasizes the importance of a standalone FAQ page to boost search impressions. He provides a checklist for website owners, covering image compression, canonical tags, and critical integrations like Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.>>

In dieser Folge des Onlineshop Geflüster Podcasts geht es um eine Zahl, auf die sich viel zu viele Shopbetreiber blind verlassen: den ROAS aus dem Meta Werbeanzeigenmanager. Diese Zahl lügt aus mehreren Gründen. Cookie Banner, iOS Restriktionen und Adblocker sorgen dafür, dass ein Teil der Conversions gar nicht erst ankommt. Gleichzeitig schreibt Meta sich Bestandskunden Käufe gut, die mit der eigentlichen Neukundengewinnung nichts zu tun haben. Das Ergebnis ist ein verzerrtes Bild, auf dessen Basis du Budgetentscheidungen triffst. Du erfährst, warum die einzig belastbaren Zahlen in deiner Gewinn und Verlustrechnung stehen, was es bedeutet einen Neukunden Break Even reinzuholen und warum das oft die smartere Strategie ist, und am konkreten Beispiel einer Kundin, wie ein stagnierender unprofitabler Shop in zwei Monaten auf 100.000 Euro Monatsumsatz gekommen ist, ohne dass sich am Meta ROAS irgendwas verbessert hat.

In dieser Folge des Onlineshop Geflüster Podcasts geht es um eine Ankündigung von der Google IO, die in den nächsten Jahren großen Einfluss auf den E-Commerce haben wird: den Google Universal Cart. Google baut einen persistenten Warenkorb über sein gesamtes Ökosystem, also Search, Shopping, Gemini, AI Overviews und YouTube. Was ein Nutzer dort reinlegt, bleibt drin und kann später überall abgeschlossen werden, entweder direkt über Google Pay oder im Shop des Händlers. Du erfährst, warum saubere Produktdaten in deinem Google Feed dadurch noch wichtiger werden, welches Szenario auf Händler zukommen könnte die Aufmerksamkeit über Google Shopping einkaufen und dann gegen andere Händler um genau diesen Warenkorb bieten müssen, und warum Kundenbindung über Newsletter, App und Community in diesem Umfeld zur eigentlichen Verteidigungslinie wird.

Is your dog suddenly afraid of totally random things that never used to bother them before? From wheelie bins, to scooters or even people wearing hats, when our dogs suddenly start showing signs that they're scared of everyday things they used to ignore, it can be incredibly confusing and, at times worrying, for us owners. This week, we're discussing the hidden reasons why your dog might be showing signs of fear out of the blue. When our dogs' outward behaviour changes, it might mean that there's something going on inside their brain or body that they need some extra support with. We'll consider what these hidden influences might be and, more importantly, explore a few ways we can support them when they aren't feeling their best!................Whether your dog is unpredictable with other dogs or predictably bad…Whether it looks like freezing, barking, lunging or running away…Whether you are just starting out on your dog-owning journey or your dog has been labelled as having a “behaviour problem”…… this episode is for you and is going to give you huge insights!Want to join the Help!

In dieser Folge des Onlineshop Geflüster Podcasts geht es um eine Situation, die ich regelmäßig sehe: ein Produkt, das sich auf Messen, Marktplätzen oder im Ladengeschäft gut verkauft, aber über den eigenen Shop einfach nicht in die Gänge kommt. Das liegt fast nie am Produkt. Es liegt daran, dass im Onlinehandel andere Spielregeln gelten und die meisten, die den Shop nebenher betreiben, zu viele Dinge gleichzeitig machen, ohne je eines davon wirklich durchzuziehen. Du erfährst, warum ein bewiesenes Produkt die beste Ausgangslage für einen funktionierenden Shop ist, was es wirklich braucht um auf 50k bis 100k Monatsumsatz zu kommen, und warum mehr Kanäle in dieser Phase fast immer weniger Wachstum bedeuten.

In dieser Folge des Onlineshop Geflüster Podcasts sitze ich mit Tobi, Geschäftsführer und Vertriebsverantwortlichen bei uns, im Auto auf dem Weg zu einem Shooting. Tobi hat in den letzten Jahren tausende Erstgespräche mit Shopbetreibern geführt, quer durch alle Branchen und Umsatzgrößen. Was er immer wieder sieht: nicht fehlendes Wissen ist das Problem, sondern fehlender Fokus. Wir sprechen darüber, warum so viele Shops stagnieren obwohl Content, Produkt und Community stimmen, warum endlose To-Do-Listen und neue Ideen der schnellste Weg zu gar nichts sind, und was passiert wenn man sechs Monate wartet bis der Shop "perfekt" ist, während der Mitbewerber einfach loslegt.

Has your teenage dog forgotten everything that they once knew - including their own name!? This week, we're exploring what adolescence really means for our dogs' bodies and brains, as well as why this typically troublesome lifestage can actually be a valuable opportunity to level up your (and your dog's) skills! While adolescence can inspire some funny and (often) embarrassing moments, it can also be a time of frustration and confusion, as our dogs may start displaying behaviours we've never seen before - from acting more stubborn than usual, to ignoring you completely! We'll dive into some of the geeky science behind teenage behaviour change, before zooming in to think about some specific tips and tricks you can use when your dog seems to forget the skills and training they were experts at not so long ago. Remember - the teenage years aren't forever.

The Problem with Too Much Choice Decision Paralysis: More choice makes it harder for people to make a decision, even though they may feel helped by having options. The Jam Study: An experiment showed that while 24 flavours of jam drew more viewers, only 3% bought. When only six flavours were offered, 30% bought jam (10 times the sales). Simplicity outweighs options when the goal is to influence a decision. The Mortgage Experiment Results The experiment compared a website with a mortgage rates table (offering many choices) against a simple web form (offering one choice: get mortgage advice). The rates table cut lead volume by 100%, meaning no calls or callback requests were generated. Presenting a selection of mortgages causes confusion for clients who are actually seeking expert advice. What Mortgage Brokers Should Do Instead The website should function as a tool to persuade people to book an appointment with an adviser, not to sell the mortgage itself. Offer a Single Choice: The only option presented on the website should be to get advice. Make the Form Prominent: Do not hide the form behind a button. The form should be at the top of every page, as many visitors are returning, and a prominent form leads to more conversions. Build a Strong Foundation: Removing the rates table is a major part of the solution, but it is not a "silver bullet" on its own. Successful pages in the test included a variety of elements alongside the form: Recent Five-Star Reviews: Google and Trustpilot reviews are crucial assets, as they are sources people know and trust. Persuasive Copywriting. Niche Content: Tailoring content to a specific mortgage scenario (e.g., first-time buyers with a self-employed partner) helps address the client's exact problem and increases their likelihood of reaching out.

Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS provides a deep dive into the 2026 scheduling landscape, comparing Cal vs. Calendly. As a digital marketing expert, he explores the benefits of white-labeling, custom APIs, and recurring events. The discussion addresses the polarizing nature of scheduling links in professional networking and offers a guide on using these tools to maintain a long-term business presence.

Most insurance brands look the same, sound the same, and spend billions on ads to prove it. Amica decided to do the opposite. Daniel sits down with Tory Pachis (Executive Vice President & CMO of Amica Insurance) to break down how a 119-year-old, referral-only mutual insurer went from 2% unaided brand awareness to 70%…and why a jersey patch on the Boston Celtics was just the beginning. Tory shares how Amica built a sports marketing strategy around values alignment, not logo slaps, and why the Jason Tatum "Back to Zero" campaign became one of the most authentic brand stories in insurance. They get into why humor isn't the only tool in the insurance advertising toolbox, how to make the case for brand investment to a skeptical CFO, and what happens when your star athlete tears his Achilles the night after you sign the deal. They also dig into how Amica is thinking about AI and LLMs, and why a loyal customer base full of organic Reddit and Trustpilot reviews might be their biggest unfair advantage as search evolves.

The latest Tin Foil Hat episode with Esoteric Eddie explores big ideas around ancient symbolism, spirituality, and modern awareness. They discuss the origins and meaning of "Moloch," question how its interpretation has evolved, and dive into the idea of the "great noticing"—a growing sense that people are becoming more aware of hidden truths. The conversation also examines what faith in Jesus really means on a personal level and raises thought-provoking questions about how the Israel of today compares to the Israel described in the Bible Please subscribe to the new Tin Foil Hat youtube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/@TinFoilHatYoutube Sam Tripoli's 5th Crowd Work Special "Hero Live From Batavia" Drops May 2nd On Youtube.com/SamTripoliComedy Grab your copy of the 2nd issue of the Chaos Twins now and join the Army Of Chaos: https://bit.ly/415fDfY Check out Sam "DoomScrollin with Sam Tripoli and Midnight Mike" Every Tuesday At 4pm pst on Youtube, X Twitter, Rumble and Rokfin!

Free AIO Audit - Click Here. How Australian eCommerce Brands Can Rank in AI Overviews (AIO) in 2026AI is changing how Australians discover and buy products online. In this episode, Ryan Martin sits down with Patrick Dhital one of Australia's leading SEO and AIO specialists — to break down exactly what eCommerce founders need to do right now to appear in AI-generated search results across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude.If your brand isn't showing up when a CEO or customer searches for your category on an AI engine, this episode is for you.AI engines read structured data. That means moving your most important claims out of body paragraphs and into clear, structured page elements — headings, quick-facts boxes, certifications, awards — so AI can find and weight them correctly.Stop saying "award-winning product." Say which award you actually won, and give it its own heading on the page.This also includes schema markup and ensuring your meta copy is specific, not vague. Specificity signals trust to AI engines.Search behaviour has shifted from "best compression socks" to "what compression socks help me recover after a long-haul flight?" Your content strategy needs to follow. That means blogs and articles built around real customer questions — not AI-generated filler.The best content comes from knowing your customer better than any agency can. What questions do they ask you? Start there.Within those articles, include product carousels, CTAs, and comparison guides. Don't build content just for AIO — make it genuinely useful for the people landing on it.Being mentioned in a Vogue listicle on "top Australian knitwear brands" isn't just good PR — it's how AI engines discover and recommend you. Build backlinks and placements in topically relevant articles and listicles so that when an LLM goes looking, it finds your brand in credible, third-party sources.Social media presence matters too. If people are talking about your brand positively on Reddit or Quora, AI engines will surface that. If they're not — or if the reviews are bad — that surfaces too.AIO needs SEO to work. If you're not ranking on Google, AI engines won't find you either. The fundamentals haven't changed — they're the foundation.Be specific, not general. "Award-winning" means nothing to an AI. "Winner of the 2024 Good Design Award" does. Pull specifics out of paragraphs and into structured elements.Your content strategy should sound like your customer. Conversational queries are longer and more specific than ever. Write content that matches how real people talk — not how keyword tools think.Bad reviews can hurt you in AI, fast. What appears on Trustpilot, Reddit, or Quora is fair game for AI engines. Brand reputation management is now part of AIO.No single channel fixes everything. The brands with the best AIO results are also running Google Ads, social ads, email, and PR. It all compounds.ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, Ahrefs, SEMrush, Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Reddit, Quora, Trustpilot, Shopify, Remarkable DigitalWant a free AIO audit? Ryan and Patrick are currently offering AI visibility audits for Australian eCommerce brands.

In the latest episode of Tin Foil Hat, Sam Tripoli is joined by Top Lobsta and Raven of the Nephilim Deathsquad podcast to explore how ancient supernatural entities—once called angels, demons, or watchers—are now being rebranded as aliens. They connect the Genesis 6 "Days of Noah" narrative to modern themes like hybridization, abductions, and non-human intelligence, while also discussing how AI and transhumanism may serve as a new kind of ritual interface for contact. The episode also dives into the idea of a controlled UFO disclosure as a possible psyop to mask these entities' true nature, and highlights New Age predictions of imminent contact and a global shift in consciousness leading into 2026.

Why do customers trust a 4.5 star rating more than a perfect 5? What is AI actually using to decide which businesses to recommend, and is your company showing up in those answers? Both questions come down to your reviews and what your business does when there is negative feedback. Most leaders ask how to delete bad customer reviews. They cannot. What they can do is respond within 24 hours, fix the root cause, and invite every customer to review, not just the happy ones. The businesses that build customer trust consistently are the ones AI recommends, and buyers consistently choose. In this episode of Doing CX Right®, Stacy Sherman speaks with Alicia Skubick, Chief Customer Officer at Trustpilot, the world's largest independent customer feedback platform. You will learn how to: Turn bad online reviews into clear actions that improve the business Respond quickly in ways that strengthen credibility and build customer trust Use customer feedback to find root causes across teams Develop trust over time through consistent actions Adjust to AI search, where reviews influence visibility and decisions Whether you lead a retail business, a financial services firm, or a service organization, this conversation will change how you think about every bad customer review you receive.

  Where in the world am I? In San Diego today.   Hi there. I'm Dr. Mary Travelbest, coming to you from a recent trip to South Korea, now sharing my best travel ideas. I'm about to launch on a 90-day trip around the world.   Listener Story Spotlight   A friend and a listener named Lois recently went to Hawaii. She told me about how she spent a lot of time getting travel insurance for herself and her partner. She had to pay more than she expected as her partner was having a birthday between the day she bought the service and the day of the trip. But she said it was well worth it for her peace of mind.   Quick fire FAQ: The FAQ for today is: Where to find the best travel insurance for a long trip abroad.   1. Start with a neutral comparison engine and you can see this in the shownotes. Why use it first? Where to click Smart filters to enable Lets you price 30-day single-trip plans from dozens of underwriters side-by-side, then click through to the policy certificate in one step. Squaremouth (toggle "Comprehensive" or "Medical-only" to see apples-to-apples pricing). Squaremouth Travel Insurance Medical ≥ $100k, Evac ≥ $250k, "Cancel for Any Reason" if you want maximum flexibility. Gives you consumer-written claim reviews plus AM Best financial ratings right in the results grid. InsureMyTrip (same data feed as Squaremouth but different sort logic). Add "Pre-existing condition waiver" if relevant; check "Adventure sports" if you'll hike or dive. Pulls quotes from some insurers that don't feed aggregators (e.g., Allianz's higher-tier plans) and lists A.M. Best scores. TravelInsurance.com Use the "24/7 assistance" toggle; you'll see which plans outsource help lines. Skeptical check: All three make a commission; none of them has every carrier. Run your trip through at least two engines and see if the so-called "cheapest" plan really is. 2. Cross-reference with an independent ranking list ●      U.S. News "Best Travel Insurance Companies 2025" ranks plans by coverage and claim-paying history—not advertising spend. It's a fast way to see which names (Travelex, Allianz, Tin Leg, etc.) consistently show up in the top tier. U.S. News 3. See what other solo women say ●      SoloTravelerWorld.com keeps an updated "Best Travel Insurance for Solo Travelers" guide that spells out what to look for if you're traveling alone—single-supplement benefits, harassment coverage, and 24-hour crisis lines. Solo Traveler ●      AbsolutelyLucy.com lays out five red flags that matter disproportionately to women (e.g., personal-assault medical limits, emergency contraception exclusions). Absolutely Lucy Read these before you fall for glossy Instagram ads that treat "female-friendly" as a slogan. 4. Kick the tires on the insurer's own site If a plan looks good in a marketplace, open the policy certificate directly on the carrier's website (World Nomads, SafetyWing, Allianz, IMG, etc.). World Nomads publishes unfiltered claim reviews—useful for sniffing out chronic payout delays. World Nomads 5. Verify what your government will—or won't—do The U.S. State Department's Insurance Coverage Overseas page makes it crystal-clear that Uncle Sam does not pay your hospital bill or med-evac. It also links to the embassy medical resources for every country, which tells you how far the nearest trauma center is from your trekking trail. Travel.gov 6. Double-check your credit-card benefits Cards in your wallet may cover trip delay, baggage loss, or secondary car rental insurance. The Points Guy keeps a running tally of cards whose built-in coverage is worth something—and where the gaps are (e.g., no medical evacuation). How to use these resources efficiently Quote your exact dates (don't round your trip to a calendar month; excess days add cost). Filter for medical & evac first; those are the two benefits that can bankrupt you. Ignore marketing buzzwords like "explorer" or "adventure" until you've opened the PDF certificate and searched for the activity you actually plan to do. Run your final-four shortlist past recent claim reviews (Squaremouth, Trustpilot, Reddit r/solotravel) to see if the carrier ghosted people during COVID or the Israel–Gaza cancellations. Purchase directly from the insurer once you've chosen—that avoids aggregator change-fees if you need to modify dates. Stay curious, question every "Top 10" list's methodology, and you'll land the coverage that fits your risk profile—nothing more, nothing less.     60 second confidence challenge   3 things: neighborhood selection, daylight itineraries, scam avoidance Select walkable neighborhoods with public transportation nearby if you don't drive. Read reviews on the AirBNB website before you select. When booking a flight or train, be sure it arrives at a daylight time, which can differ in winter months. If it comes after dark, it will be more of a challenge for you. To avoid scams, be cautious when choosing passwords, logging out of websites, and making online purchases. These are very typical scams. If you are suspicious, you may be right to avoid that vendor and choose another. Don't look like a target, either.     If you like today's Confidence Challenge, Chapter 1 of my book dives deeper—link in description."   See Book A for addressing all of these items. Find it on the website: 5 steps to solo travel.com or on Amazon. It's a series.   Destination Deep‑Dive Today's destination is:       South Korea   I visited South Korea last year and am going back this month.  I landed at Seoul's Inchon Airport. My Korean pronunciation is not good, so please bear with me as I describe my trip. I was excited to see the city through my friend Chris's eyes. We were whisked away to a hotpot dinner, then taken to the French neighborhood in Seoul, where we rested overnight. The next morning, we drove south to visit a town about 2 hours away and stayed in Wolbong-ro (Road), in Seobuk-gu, near SeongJeong.   South Korea is about the same size as the US state of Virginia, or compared to the size of the country of Hungary. If you look at the size of the entire peninsula, you would say it's the same size as Minnesota or the country of Great Britain.   I was only there for four days, but during this time, I was able to see a lot of Seoul and explore some places to share with you.   For example, the Seoul Noryangin Fisheries Wholesale Market is five stories tall and open to the public. It's worth seeing if you like seafood, and you can roam the aisles looking for your favorite fish delicacies.   I visited the Vovo Bidet company and met with the director and some of his team. Have you seen the #1 Bidet firm in Korea? They have retail and wholesale offices in the Los Angeles area as well. I liked the tour of the offices here in Seoul. They even have a Bidet to go. Think about that for a minute. That was in Daebang-dong or Seocho4-dong.   I visited retail stores such as Zara, one of my favorite fashion stores. I had Chinese, Japanese, and Fusion foods. I took subways, buses, taxis, and Ubers, plus trains. I went to Gwannghumun Square, the purple Station #9.   I went to the shopping mall called The Hyundai, and found stores like Zanmang Loopy, the Hyundai Present, and a great coffee and tea shop.   I learned about Hanguel, the Korean alphabet, and saw the statue of Sejong the Great. There was also another statue of Admiral YiSun Sin. The Bukchon Honok Village is a quiet residential area. Jogyasa Temple is where you will see Buddhism. Hongdae is the neighborhood for independent artists.   Yonsei University was a place I wanted to visit next time, as I was in the neighborhood and liked it a lot. Gangnam style, well, maybe next time. I tried new foods, such as mung bean pancakes and hotteok dessert. We had a wonderful dinner at Sushi-ya Shabu-ya, about an hour from Seoul, near Korea Nazarene University in Cheonan-si-Buldang1-dong.   Recommended: Relax in a tea house.     Smart Move and Slip-up pairings We arrived in     In Korea, we were unable to enter the building because we had insufficient funds on our transit cards. Instead, we had to see the office at the kiosk and pay for the train. It was not much, but it did take a few minutes. We arrived well ahead of the recommended 3 hours, so that was not an issue.     60-second confidence challenge   Do you or don't you tip? Not in South Korea. But it's always smart to ask. Be confident when you know the expectations.   Resources Roundup   If you are looking for more solo female travel resources, you can find several tips and ways to navigate the pitfalls, such as paying the difference on the transit card when traveling long distances or knowing when to tip.   Take away mantra and goodbye.   When you get lost, don't get upset. Get found. You will be better off if you cool your brain down instead of heating it incorrectly. Chill, and you'll be found sooner. Dr. Travelbest's tip #760.   Thanks for listening.

Sean Tepper And we could dive into what that frustration is, if you’d like. Yeah. But yeah, I had to create a solution because it was very hard to make decisions when I first got started. And that’s where really TYKR came from. And, but yeah, fast forward to today. We’ve got a little over, 13,000 customers in about 50 countries, including where you’re based. Sean Tepper New Zealand. Andrew Mitchem Oh that’s good. Yeah. So you had 50 countries. That’s a that’s an awesome effort. And, and Sean, I was reading about, you know, you started, on your website says, in, you know, 2011 to 2015, you were trying to figure out what wasn’t there to help you. What did you find back then? Was the biggest frustration that led to TYKR happening? Sean Tepper Yeah. So when I first got started, you know, I think I joined E-Trade. And, you know, there’s so many brokers these days, it’s hard to keep track of. But as soon as I joined, I had no idea what to do next. So I started going on YouTube researching where do you go to invest? Like looking up different investing platforms? Sean Tepper I found a few of our competitors, like Seeking Alpha and Motley Fool, and they do a fine job, but it’s still very difficult to truly know the difference between a strong stock and a weak stock is is very frustrating. And for context, my background is in tech, but to go, layer deeper, it’s actually in process engineering. Sean Tepper Like I’ve worked a lot for GE and Koehler. And the rule is in process engineering, if you have 100 data points, you cannot present that to a customer or an executive. You have to roll it up to ideally a binary decision like yes or no or a traffic light. And I was complaining at that time, like, am I the only one complaining about the fact that there’s no process engineering lens layered over investing like, this is insane. Sean Tepper Like nobody’s making it easy. And that was kind of the green light I was thinking of, like, hey, if I could figure something out here, I think the big solution is a create a process engineering solution in the world of finance and apparently I’m the only one really doing that today, other than the few platforms that say buy or sell. Sean Tepper But I don’t really recommend that. But yeah, that was that was the beginning. And it took about a year to build this Excel sheets. And I give you context here, I found a lot of inspiration from Phil Towne. He wrote a few books on value investing. Do you know Phil Towne? Andrew Mitchem No, I don’t know. No. Okay. Sean Tepper Your your audience may be interested. He wrote a book. One of them is rule one. The other one is payback time. I really provided some. Yeah, yeah. You know, rule one investing, Warren Buffett. We can talk about that. But, yeah, I, I found some of the calculus in his books, put it into Excel, and I ended up coming up with about 50 data points to analyze the stock. Sean Tepper And then on top of that, I created a traffic like rating system where stocks are either on sale, watch or overpriced. That’s green, gray or red. And I used it the next 4 or 5 years on my own, making returns between 15 and 50%, and my returns still fall in that range today. Our customers actually fall in that range as well. Sean Tepper But yeah, I, I wanted to make sure I’m using my own money testing it to make sure it works, not just like four weeks or four months. I went like that over four years. And then it was 2019 was the inflection point when I’m like, I think I’ve got a solution here, but let’s just confirm. Sent the sheet to a few of the retail investors and everybody’s like, I’m not going to use this Excel sheet. Sean Tepper This is insane. You got to create a software. So that right. That was the green light. Let’s go create a SaaS platform. And took a year to build the first version. And the first version was not pretty. But yeah, fast forward to today. That’s where we’re at. But yeah. Andrew Mitchem They Nimrod when you look back on them. Sean Tepper Yeah, right. It was like the, the metaphor I use is it felt like I was building a physical prototype made of like, and duct tape and cardboard. It was not pretty videos. It’s pretty ugly. But you get feedback from your customers and you just keep making it better, and it actually turns into something. How does this software help? Andrew Mitchem So, yeah, awesome. That’s brilliant. So fast forward then to today. Why would someone come and use what you have and I suppose in a practical basis, how does it help them? What are they. What do they input? What do they use to make decisions for them? Sean Tepper Sure. Yeah. So I’ll give you some of the the subjective reasons and then we’ll get into the objective and why that’s actually important to our, our broker partners. But our rating system again process engineering, it doesn’t sound very glamorous, but the concept of making decisions very easy for people, it is very true in most industries. So we we use the process engineering lens. Sean Tepper Plus we take a lot of inspiration from Duolingo for language learning in our opinion. Like what? They’ve got over 600 million users. They’re doing something right. We’re teaching people how to learn a language with these micro learning modules. And I’m like, we need to do the same thing in our platform, but it’s got to be investing focused. So we’ve got these modules peppered around that quickly teaches people how to invest in you put the two together, the rating system, plus the simplified education that helps people. Sean Tepper And it’s not our guarantee, but it’s it’s something we let people know upfront that 90% of customers is actually over 90. But we say 90% of customers that use TYKR are able to go from a beginner to confident an investor in 14 days or less. It’s very quick. Wow. And what does that mean from an objective standpoint? And this is what matters most to brokers, which is most brokers we’re talking to have two big problems. Sean Tepper And number one, very little transaction volumes, like somebody will join on day one and they’ll wait three months or six months or nine months, and then make another trade. And the other issue is the average account size is less than 5000. While with TYKR after five years. Now we’re we track like a lot of data points to see our, investors behavior. Sean Tepper And typically people make 30% more transactions after joining TYKR. And their average account size is about $180,000. So what that tells us is and it tells. Right. So these people are their confidence is skyrocketing and they’re adding more money from their checking account or their savings. So it’s not sitting in a low interest vehicle. So so there you go. Sean Tepper That’s how we’re different. I’ll give you one more way where different in your audience may appreciate this is TYKRs. Calculations are actually open source for personal use. And the SEC really likes that. Like we had an audit done to make sure we fall in that publisher exclusion category. We could talk about that in a minute, but making sure we’re not we’re not giving financial advice, but this firm we’re talking to and we had another we’re actually had two firms. Sean Tepper Take a look. They were both very impressed that we we put those calculations out and I’m like, I’m, I’m actually not concerned anybody’s going to take it because it’s even though it’s relatively simple math, it’s a lot of it. And try to put together in a software what would take you a really long time. So fortunately nobody’s tried to duplicate it. Sean Tepper But the calculations are out there. Andrew Mitchem Yeah, well, for the sake, I was looking on your your purchase, page. Your pricing page. For the sake of $50 a month, you just use it. Wouldn’t you? Rather than trying to reinvent it or. Sean Tepper It exact right at the base price is like, you’re saying 15, 15 bucks a month or 99 a year? You’re right. It’s like, oh, okay. So here’s the here’s the calculations. Yeah. I’m not going to reiterate. That’s where it. Andrew Mitchem Is. I mean in in lifetime working it out will spend $100 a year same. Sean Tepper Same prices Netflix their. Andrew Mitchem Data. Exactly. Yeah a lot more educational. Yes. Sean Tepper Yes. TFTC also helps create successful traders Andrew Mitchem Thank you. So it it sounds like although we’re in, slightly different markets within the overall similar markets now, we have something very similar going on, which is amazing is we’ve never met obviously, before, you know, 20 minutes ago, and that we find that our clients would be very similar to yours. The average forex person’s out there, small account, scared to trade, or they do the opposite and they do silly things and they make us even money and then lose it all, which inevitably happens. Andrew Mitchem And then they blame the break on the market. And that’s where we find our clients are different as well. You know, they have confidence that low risk approach. They they know what they’re doing, what to look for, when to do it. And therefore when they go to a broker brokers out there because, you know, the client’s got a hugely, bigger account and trading more often. Andrew Mitchem So it’s incredible how education and lack of it can affect so many people in this. Seriously. Yeah. It’s crazy. Yeah. Now, Sean, you mentioned, about the no financial advice, you know, situation. And again, coming back, that’s where we’re similar, you know, what’s your take on the no financial advice? Sean Tepper Yeah. So with the SEC, there’s I don’t have the exact, it’s like rule 102-5 or whatever. I’m making that up. But yeah, they’re essentially three rules you have to follow with staying in the publisher exclusion category. And there are companies and there are guys out there, some women as well, that they they get into some some shaky ground or gray areas where they push the envelope and they can get into some some big legal trouble. Sean Tepper So the three rules really go as follows. Number one is all information has to be factual. Like we can’t say like, hey, because I like x, y, z CEO, I think the share price is going to $2,000 a share. That’s crazy. We have to present the data like everything we do is really based off the fundamentals. We don’t cook any books. Sean Tepper We don’t skew the financials. It’s like, hey, here’s the EPS, here’s the revenue, here’s the net income, here’s the debt. Bam, roll it up to our calculations. And there’s your score. Keep it very simple right. Number two is and this is actually pretty easy to follow is we can’t ask our customers their age their risk level when they want to retire and then give them recommendations based on that criteria. Sean Tepper That is described as personalized financial advice. So very easy. Like okay, so don’t ask those personal questions. And number three everything has to be regular. And what does regular mean. It means all information we we put out has to be like every day or every week, which it’s we update our data every day. We can’t do and this is a common problem with a lot of discord and WhatsApp groups. Sean Tepper And so I’ve been told from the SEC, which is pump and dumps, is like, hey, go buy as much of GameStop by Tuesday. And then the very next day, without telling anyone, they’ll go sell a bunch of GameStop or whatever stock they they can come up with. And that is actually a common issue because you can make a lot of money in short order. Sean Tepper So, yeah, no, no irregular posting. It has to be regular posting. So yeah, those are the three rules with the publisher exclusion. And to be honest with you, but actually pretty easy to follow. Is social media helpful? Andrew Mitchem Yeah, yeah. That’s good. Do you find you mentioned on social media type of apps? Do you find that those, causing problems generally for people because they just think they’re going to find something that’s going to solve all their life’s financial problems? Sean Tepper You mean like our customer is going on social media and reading comments. Andrew Mitchem To make sure customers, but just general people out there and in general isn’t there going to find some app and follow something and it’s suddenly going to give them all the magical answers? Sean Tepper No. In general, I think most people are skeptical, which I think is good. They’re not going to like, you know, like, for example, they’re not going to come to tinker right away and be like, oh, this is this is my savior. That’s that’s not the case. We want people to be skeptical. And we always tell people like, don’t like, I’ll talk about Tinker all day, but don’t even take my word for it. Sean Tepper I always say, go to Trustpilot, see what our customers have to say first before you even think about it. And then our model is, it’s a trial 14 day trial. And then we also have a 30 day money back guarantee. So even when your credit card is charged, if you want to refund, we’re not going to fight you on it. Sean Tepper It’s like it’s 15 bucks. That’s right, that’s right. It’s like we’re not going to split hairs on this, but it’s like you want to create a platform that it’s very easy to join is very easy to learn about. You can see what your customers are saying. It’s easy to test drive. Those are kind of the boxes I like to check when I join a platform because I’m using other software to build TYKR, whether it’s a marketing software or analytics or email marketing or whatever, right. Sean Tepper I want those things. So I’m like, I’m going to do the same thing with my own platform. But coming back to the skepticism, I think it’s good. It’s good to have a healthy amount, and it’s good for people to not only, like join TYKR, but go have like join our competitors, see what they have to say. And sometimes you’ll get things to line up like let’s say it’s a stock you really like and you’ve got, you know, TYKR, Motley Fool and Seeking Alpha are all like, hey, this is this is a strong stock, not a buy stock, but its financials are strong. Sean Tepper That creates layers of confidence is how we phrase it. Yeah. Creating those layers of confidence gives people more confidence to move forward. Andrew Mitchem Yeah yeah that’s good. And I noticed also on your on your offer there that you talk about cryptos as well Matt. Obviously it’s the, the big thing that people want to talk about and we’ll see more recently we’ve seen some big drops as well. Yeah. How, how do people finding using your software or on cryptos. Andrew Mitchem Because it’s, it’s like one of the markets that we kind of cross over on. Sean Tepper Yeah. So with crypto we weren’t originally going to add it to the platform, but a few people were like, hey, can you add crypto from a tracking perspective? Now for context, we have three assets in TYKR. We have stocks, ETFs and crypto ETFs. It’s easy to analyze because it’s really just a bundle of stocks. So we analyze each individual stock. Sean Tepper We roll them all up. If it’s let’s say 500 stocks within an ETF. You can create you can calculate what is the average score within come to that on sale watch over priced. But when it comes to crypto as you know there’s no income statement cash flow statement A balance sheet is not a business, it’s just a digital asset. Sean Tepper But again, we had customers that were like, hey, you got a lot of good tracking tools, like you can set alerts on my dates and prices and really anything you want within TYKR. And so they’re saying like, can you add crypto within so we can keep track of all of our favorite assets in one clean location. And my response to that was, oh yeah, no problem. Sean Tepper We’ll add crypto to this tool. But there’s not a lot of analysis you can do there because again, it’s not a business. Multiple brokers or one? Andrew Mitchem Yeah, yeah. Fair enough. And also I noticed that you said about the broker connection. So one of your pricing models, that’s one broker three and five. Correct. What would be the reasons around someone needing, say, three brokers or five brokers as opposed to one. Sean Tepper Yeah. So the reason is typically your employer is going to issue you A41 like here in the states, of course, we get A41KI don’t know, in New Zealand you call it a pension like they do in, Europe. Andrew Mitchem Yeah. Kiwisavers called but yeah it’s that has is our name. Yeah. Sean Tepper Okay. Exactly. So you’re going to have that is going to be one retirement vehicle. And that’s typically set up with like here in the States. The two big ones are typically fidelity and Empower. There’s also Schwab. But then you’re probably going to want to do some trading on your own. So then here in the States some of the popular choices are Robinhood. Sean Tepper You’ve got E-Trade, you know. So there’s your second one. And then sometimes you’re going to have like an inherited account from a family member, you know, that could be on a different account. And if you don’t roll it over to your current broker, well, guess what? You’ve got a third broker sitting in place. But I get this. I’ve talked to people that have they’ve had more than five different brokers on my response. Sean Tepper So that is why. Yeah. So. Right. It’s it’s it seems unorganized. But we created the three tiers the premium premium plus an advanced premium. You get one broker premium Plus you get three in advance. You get five. We usually like 99.9% of the time. We don’t see people with more than five brokers. But like for example, between my wife and I, we have like we have three. Sean Tepper So yeah. Andrew Mitchem Okay. So with this allows someone to make their analysis and then connect directly through to that broker via your software. Is that how it works. Sean Tepper Yeah. Yeah. So yeah when when you join your broker and we’re really good complement to a broker will never replace it. We don’t want to be a broker dealer. That’s a legal name for their business model because we don’t hold any assets. We don’t hold people’s money. We’re just analytics. So yeah, when people join, you can sync up with your broker. Sean Tepper And what that does is it automatically updates your portfolio in TYKR every day. And it’s a much cleaner interface than most brokers out there. I, I’m never going to talk down about brokers, but it’s like their job is to protect people’s money. But when it comes to analytics dashboards or giving, like education or analytics, it’s that’s not their specialty, nor will it really ever be. Sean Tepper So we fill that gap, we complement and we make it easy to see because some people are like, I don’t I don’t actually know how much money I have because the dashboards in my broker’s so hard to use them, like just sync up your account TYKR and it’s going to kind of summarize it for you. Yeah, yeah. Andrew Mitchem That’s interesting. That makes a lot of sense. Makes life easy for people. And also I see that you have a mobile app. So can someone get the exact same information on the app. But they can all the desktop. Sean Tepper It’s pretty much the same experience. We try to release our features, if not the same day within the next week or two. Like if we need to deploy something to web or web app, we try to do the same thing to the mobile, that allows people to write. They can kind of analyze stocks and the gold or standing in line somewhere at Starbucks, whatever. Sean Tepper The mobile app, I will say this has an additional feature, which is the Duolingo inspired learning modules that kind of like swipe right, swipe left type feel. We don’t have that in the web app today, but we’ve had a few people say, hey, can you also add that to web? Well, that’ll come soon. But yeah, it’s pretty much the same experience. Andrew Mitchem And what’s the AI investing helper that’s not like yeah, humming live. Sean Tepper Oh, that could be going live. Well, recording this video is, February 9th. That could go live on the 11th. Okay. So that’s a feature where you can, like, interact with where you’re going to be the first to hear about it here. So it’s it’s an AI tool where you can ask questions like how do I get started? Sean Tepper Or what should I do with my first thousand dollars? Or, what when is the best time to buy or best to sell? You can interact with AI and it’s actually connected with TYKRs, data set, but also the the globe and it’s put a lot of rigor, rigor into place to make sure it’s not giving you financial advice, but it’s really leaning into giving you the data and TYKR. Sean Tepper So it’s for example, if you were to ask it, hey, can you tell me how to value a stock? It’s going to first go to TYKRs data set. And with the education and give you that information. And then some general information. You know that makes it sound nicer. And then kind of spit it out. So yeah, eventually we’ll release in multiple phases. Sean Tepper So the first phase we call the helper, the second phase is the portfolio builder in a will build hypothetical like for example, build me a portfolio of ten strong tech stocks or buy food stocks or car stocks, something like that. Yeah. And of course it’ll say this is not financial advice. This is a hypothetical portfolio. But yes. And then the third phase will be an analyzer. Sean Tepper So analyze my current portfolio. Like what changes would you recommend. And that that’s going to be really, really cool. So with I will say this and then I’ll stop talking. It’s a powerful tool because it can analyze large data sets in a short amount of time. But as we say at TYKR. And this is why when I become self-aware like Skynet, I’m going to be the first one to be targeted. Sean Tepper Right? It’s, it’s smart, but it’s not that smart. So you have to put a lot of rigor in a place, a lot of guardrails, because it can, as you know, hallucinate. Yeah. So we are bouncing AI up against logic and mathematics to make sure it does not say something stupid to our customers. TFTC creating a trading bot program Andrew Mitchem That’s interesting. We’re in the middle of all we’re saying in the middle. We’ve been testing this live for over a year of getting AI to create trading bots for us, and what it’s doing is it’s spitting at a heap of bots and going through, sort of live trading on, on, you know, that are not real money. We’re trading on the money. Andrew Mitchem And then each week, we’re using the human aspect, the common sense and the knowledge that we look at as technical traders to pick which bots we’re going to be running live for subscribers for the upcoming week. And, and we’re finding that that combination of using the AI for that speed and, you know, doing the, the hard work. Andrew Mitchem Yeah. And giving us some information. But like you said, the guardrail becomes the human input in the common sense of what we’re seeing as technically on a chart. There’s no point in, let’s say, say Bitcoin over the last few weeks has been, you know, crashing. So nicely. There’s no point in us selecting bullish, crypto bots for the upcoming week when there’s technical traders. Andrew Mitchem We’re looking at it dropping. So I find that adding a bit of human common sense and knowledge, along with the AI at this stage is a really nice combination. Sean Tepper You got to do it right, and you probably seen the, the bad choices some people have made. If you let I make all the decisions, you can pull yourself into a, really bad situation. Especially. I like what you’re describing with your bots or those bots actually executing trades. Andrew Mitchem They they can, but we are more trying to set it up so the individual gets the alert and still needs to manually go yes or no as well. Good call. Because I don’t want to get into that situation where it’s completely, you know, automated, although a lot of people are want it all automated. My job as someone who teaches people is you still have to have that knowledge first to understand how to run the bots and to make a commonsense decision. Andrew Mitchem Is it making a good call or not? Sean Tepper Yeah, I’m good answer there, because the other hour I was talking to one company that was have was looking to have AI execute trades automatically. I’m like, whoa, what if they just run with the line and it’s like, go right? Like if rapid fire trades for an hour or two, it’s like, yeah, put some people in a bad situation. Sean Tepper So yeah. Andrew Mitchem Anyway, yeah, we’ll avoid that. We’re both avoid that. Yep. Yeah, exactly. I use it for the hard work and still use the brain. And that’s the thing, isn’t it? You know, what you created and what we’ve created. We’re about educating people, empowering people to use their common sense. Because I still think, after all, it comes down to it, there’s nothing better as a human, as an individual to have that, that how and that it’s almost like that feelgood factor that I know I can analyze these markets and make sound decisions and do well, you know, that’s you, you. Sean Tepper You, yeah. You just hit on the, the number one thing our customers care about like in and this will give you and your audience a little moment for me when I first created TYKR, especially the Excel sheet, I was all about getting better returns. I’m like, well, if Warren and Charlie can do it, I can do it. Sean Tepper Well, when I went live, that was my focus. But then after talking to a few customers, I’m like, they don’t agree with that. There’s actually something more important. And fast forward, I probably talked to a few thousand customers by this point over five years, and the number one thing they care about is confidence. Now, having confidence to literally do it on your own. Sean Tepper That is the home run. Feeling that supersedes, you know, getting good returns any day. Like people sleep better at night. Just knowing that, Shawn, I, I can do this on my own. That is what I’m looking for. I’m like home. So we even though the returns in tech are good, like, we actually lean into confidence. Like how do we give people more confidence is actually the bigger priority now. Andrew Mitchem Yeah, yeah, I, I fully get it. You know, we’ve been operating since 2009. Come on, Ryan, the Ryan run around the world in 111 countries and the same thing we we asked people, we, of course, you know, want to know why people join. And then we follow up after three months, six months, year, two years and keep asking people it’s the community and that knowledge of knowing what you’re doing for yourself, to have that control with low risk and, you know, really good outcomes. Andrew Mitchem But up here and then I say to people, trade any trading into, investments is emotion, isn’t it? Your head in your heart. You have to control those two. And what we’re doing is providing platforms or education platforms to allow people to fulfill that, that dream successfully and safely. Sean Tepper Yep, yep. Andrew Mitchem So it’s huge. Yeah. We can have all the AI and all the risks, all the all these flash gadgets, but ultimately it still comes back to that human wanting to have confidence in what they’re doing with their own money. Sean Tepper That’s it. Yeah. Andrew Mitchem And no. And also not just handing it over to someone as well. I think it’s important. Sean Tepper They add it and it’s actually you’re kind of alluding to this. It’s in people’s best interest to let’s say AI does 90% of the work. You want to be the person you want the human being finishing that process? Yeah. Because they, they ultimately it’s it’s better for them from an educational standpoint and from an, confidence standpoint, like they should know what was done. Sean Tepper But now, I control things. I get to execute the trade. Yes. You know, that’s right, that you want people to have that power at the end of the day. 60,000 stocks analyzed Andrew Mitchem Absolutely. And the, your software obviously does a lot of analysis just to give myself and viewers and listeners a ballpark figure. What kind of number of stocks is it kind of looking at and analyzing? Sean Tepper Sure. Okay. Yeah. So we’ve got about 60,000 stocks in TYKR around the world’s. We are up. Yeah. We’re upgrading. They’ll get this in the next month or two. We’re switching our data provider. So we’re going to have in the states real time pricing. You will have 15 minute delay. But then we’re going to have actually I can’t guarantee all stocks around the world, but most that’ll bring us closer to about 75,000 stocks around the world. Sean Tepper And then we’ll also have most ETFs around the world, which I think is closer to about 10,000. I could following in that Bow Wow. Yeah. No wonder. Andrew Mitchem They need analysis software that. Sean Tepper Yeah, right, right. It’s what we do. We run into circumstances when people, you know, they’ll join from a smaller country and they’ll be like, hey, you don’t have any stocks from our country. Winner may arriving. So it’s a lot of those requests and it’s like we knew we had to get to this point eventually. Yeah. But yeah. But then you just give transparency. Sean Tepper We’re looking at Finn Hub is, the data provider that will help us get, the more stocks and ETFs around the world. Andrew Mitchem Wow. So when you see your clients in 50 countries, if, for example, someone was here in New Zealand and they don’t want to be, and 2:00 in the morning to trade the US markets, they could be trading like the Australasian markets. Yeah. So your software. Sean Tepper Absolutely. Yep. Andrew Mitchem Oh, fantastic. That’s really good. Yeah. That, that’s blowing my way. That number. One thing as a currency trader, there’s like about eight main currencies. And so that makes, hence why there’s nothing like this for the forex market. I’m guessing because we can look at charts and read a bit of news and kind of make your analysis voice your, the information. Andrew Mitchem Someone out there with that. Your software is almost got an impossible task. Sean Tepper Yeah. We I was just checking here in tick or how many stocks from New Zealand. We’ve got a little over 187. So, do you know I like the I assume it’s the new New Zealand Stock Exchange. Andrew Mitchem Yes. In Wellington. Nice. Sean Tepper Got it. Do you know how many stocks they have? Andrew Mitchem No. I’m not, I’m purely forex. I honestly don’t know. Sean Tepper Okay. No no worries. But we’ll hopefully fin Hub will be able to get us most from from your exchange. Yeah. But that’s just a good example of like absolutely. You know we again we get a lot of people from random countries like, hey, can you add more stocks from our country? It’s like, yeah, absolutely. We’re we’re on it. Andrew Mitchem Yeah. Well, and also it’s purely that time of day thing, isn’t it. Because the you know, I suppose I get used to forex which is 24 hours a day. It doesn’t matter where you live in your world, you can trade it in cryptos obviously seven days a week now as well. But when you’re talking US stocks, they are, you know, for someone on my side of the world, some quite awkward trading hours. Andrew Mitchem So what you’re providing now would allow me to trade some of the the Japanese stocks, I’m guessing. Oh, and then the Australian ones using the ones now that you mentioned. So you really do open up your product to being truly a global, tool for people. Sean Tepper Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Andrew Mitchem That’s awesome.

Can proper compliance really add millions to your business valuation? In today's episode, we connect with Reuben Mattinson, Founder and CEO of RJM Tax Exemption, to explore what it means to build truly exit-ready operations in the world of ecommerce… Founded in 2019, RJM was born out of firsthand frustration. When Reuben and his team launched their own ecommerce business in the U.S., they quickly found themselves overwhelmed by IRS rules, registrations, state sales tax collection, and conflicting guidance from lawyers, accountants, banks, and revenue departments.  After investing significant time untangling the complexity, they realized other sellers were facing the same challenges — and RJM began. What started with just 10 clients has since grown into a global consultancy serving over 5,000 businesses worldwide, helping ecommerce brands stay compliant, scalable, and acquisition-ready. Hit play to find out: How Reuben's unique background fuels RJM's mission. Examples of exit strategies done right and horribly wrong. How tax readiness impacts valuation and exits. Reuben's path to entrepreneurship is anything but conventional. After earning degrees in physiotherapy in 2012 and in science teaching in 2013, he began building RJM alongside his studies. In under three years, he scaled the company from infancy into a multi-million-dollar global ecommerce consultancy, achieving #1 Trustpilot ratings in the U.S. by age 30.

Are cruise lines really getting worse? Many cruisers say yes. So I analysed hundreds of recent reviews and ratings from Cruise Critic, Trustpilot, and major review sites — and the results were shocking. Over two-thirds of cruise lines have seen satisfaction drop in the last six months, but six once-popular lines have fallen the most… and for reasons you absolutely need to know before booking. In this video, I break down which lines are slipping fastest — and reveal the key issues dragging their ratings down, from ageing ships and overcrowding to service cutbacks, food declines, rising prices, and controversial new policies. If you're planning a cruise, or simply curious about what's really happening behind the glossy brochures, this is essential viewing.   Become a Tips For Travellers Patron: https://www.patreon.com/tipsfortravellers and get exclusive Patron-only content, downloads and livestreams Visit my Tips For Travellers YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/tipsfortravellers   Offers: Get 10% any order of The Cruise Maps who you visit the site using this link: https://www.TheCruiseMaps.com/TFT Get up to 30% off collectible tokens of place you've visited using the link: https://www.TheWanderClub.com/TFT

The RV world always has back-channel stories and simmering controversies, and in this News Edition of the RV Podcast, we break down a couple of those stories and why they matter to RVers.In Episode 582, we dig into the growing backlash over the Harvest Hosts takeover of Escapees RV Club, where longtime members say a once-beloved community is being hollowed out in the name of profit. We examine what private equity ownership really means for RV clubs and why this story has struck such a nerve across the RV community.We also take a close look at major shake-ups in RV technician training. The sudden and unexplained departure of the president of the RV Technical Institute has raised serious questions at a time when the industry desperately needs qualified RV service techs. On top of that, we report on the reported sale of the National RV Training Academy in Texas and what it could mean for future RV tech education.There is more confusion at America's national parks as new entrance fees for international visitors are causing delays and long lines at park gates. With staffing shortages already stretching the National Park Service thin, we explain what RV travelers should expect and how to plan ahead.And finally, Marcus Lemonis may be gone from Camping World, but he is still very much in the headlines. An arbitrator has ordered Lemonis to pay more than $14 million in damages tied to his role on the TV show The Profit. We look at what this ruling means and how Camping World may navigate an increasingly competitive RV dealership landscape without him at the helm.This is the RV Podcast News Edition, released every Monday morning with insider news, industry developments, and issues that directly impact RV owners and travelers. Our main podcast, Stories from the Road, drops every Wednesday with interviews, destinations, and listener questions.Now let's dive into this week's news.Harvest Hosts vs. Escapees: A Membership Meltdown StoryIf you want to see what happens when private equity gets its hands on a beloved RV community, look no further than the Harvest Hosts takeover of Escapees RV Club. The internet is on fire with member complaints, and the details are jaw-dropping.Here's what's got everyone fired up: In July 2024, Harvest Hosts acquired the management and operations of Escapees RV Club, including the popular Xscapers subgroup for working-age RVers. What happened next has become a textbook case of how private equity-backed companies can effect beloved community organizations.Full disclosure: we've been an affiliate of Harvest Hosts for many years, and the company used to be, but no longer is, an advertiser on this podcast. We're also an affiliate of RV Overnights, a Harvest Hosts competitor that sponsors our Wednesday podcast.Jen and I really like Harvest Hosts and have used it many times. But this story still needs reporting. Because it illustrates what happens when big money gets involved in startups and independent businesses.First, you need to understand that Harvest Hosts is no longer a small, founder-funded RV startup. It is a private equity-backed platform designed to grow, consolidate, and eventually deliver a strong return to investors. In 2021, it reportedly received about $37 million in growth capital and it has been growing and expanding ever since.One of the most biggest acquisitions wasin 2024, when it bought the Escapees Club, which was a family run club started in 1978 by Joe and Kay Peterson, two full-time RVers who were traveling with their family and wanted a way to stay connected with others living the nomadic lifestyle. It grew and grew, was later turned over to Peterson family relatives who eventually sold Harvest Hosts. There was worry and grumbling from members simmering for a long time but most recently, just before Thanksgiving, it turned in to a dumpster fire. According to reports from members and a detailed timeline compiled by concerned community members, Harvest Hosts terminated the Xscapers convergence director and other Escapees staff just two days before the scheduled Thanksgiving convergence. That's what they called their gatherings - convergences. They told attendees they'd still have a place to park but the event would no longer have a host or the Xscapers brand attached to it. Imagine planning your entire holiday around an event, traveling to the location, and then being told the people running it were just fired.But it gets worse. Harvest Hosts then cancelled several future Xscapers convergences and meetups, seemingly everything except the one annual Bash event, often with little or no notice, according to Facebook group posts. For context, these convergences and gatherings were the main draw to the club for many members. The community-focused events, where working-age RVers could connect with others living the nomadic lifestyle, were what made Xscapers special. Members had planned their entire travel schedules around these gatherings.The pricing controversy adds insult to injury. An email from Harvest Hosts CEO Joel Holland promised "we're not changing the price of an Escapees membership, it's still just $49.95" while simultaneously announcing that Escapees would be folded into a $179 All Access membership bundle. Angry members called this classic bait-and-switch language designed to confuse them about what they're actually getting.When members started speaking out about what was happening, things took an even darker turn. Members report that Harvest Hosts began actively censoring and deleting complaints in the online groups they now control. Long-time community members said they were being banned. According to member accounts, they're even banned members from the public Facebook page simply for voicing their concerns about how the company is handling criticism.The complaints on Trustpilot paint an even darker picture. One review states that Harvest Hosts has "decimated" the community and fired loyal Escapees employees, calling it a "classic Manhattan Private Equity gut job" backed by Stripes, LLC. The review notes that "the only thing harvested here was the goodwill of a 40-year-old club." Stripes was the equity group that handled that private equity investment into Harvest Hosts.Adding fuel to the fire, Harvest Hosts hired Chris Smith as Senior Director of Community & Events, someone who members point out oversaw the worst membership decline in FMCA history during his eight years as Executive Director & CEO there. Members are questioning why leadership with that track record is now running their organization, especially given the mass cancellations and firings that followed his arrival.Long-time Escapees members feel completely betrayed. This wasn't just any RV club. Escapees was founded in 1978 by the Petersons and for over 40 years, it built a reputation as a member-first club where volunteers ran regional chapters and gatherings felt like family reunions. In their acquisition announcement, Harvest Hosts explicitly promised to retain Escapees employees, continue community events including "Xscapers Convergences," support Facebook groups, and be "good and earnest stewards of the Escapees and Xscapers brand." The controversy highlights a growing and troubling trend in the RV industry: venture-capital-backed companies buying beloved community organizations and strip-mining them for profit. Members on online forums say Harvest Hosts has essentially gutted Xscapers and taken away the big thing that made it worth joining. The pattern is clear: cancel the expensive community events that members loved, fire the staff who built relationships with those members, silence anyone who complains about it, and then act surprised when the core community revolts. As members point out, the people Harvest Hosts has made the angriest are precisely the community leaders and engaged members who made Xscapers worth joining in the first place.As one community member put it: "What kind of company cancels a paid Thanksgiving event that has been planned for months, that many people built their holiday plans around and traveled to, with just days' notice? A company that is making poor business decisions for profit and doesn't realize they are destroying the asset they've purchased with their own hands."The situation is being discussed across Reddit, RV forums, and has even found its way into Google's AI overviews. Despite Harvest Hosts' apparent attempts to censor and ban critics, other members are making it clear: they will not be silenced or ignored. The controversy highlights a growing and troubling trend in the RV industry: venture-capital-backed companies buying up everything in sight. Over the past 20 years, private equity firms like Bain Capital, Alliance Holdings, American Industrial Partners, and others have acquired some of the biggest names in RV manufacturing, dealerships, and services - including Heartland, REV Group, Fleetwood, Monaco, Roadtrek, Grand Design, Lazydays RV Center, and yes, Camping World. Investment banking firm Jackim Woods & Co. has tracked more than 65 private equity transactions in the RV sector over the last two decades. The goal is always the same: buy a mid-size company as a "platform investment," then triple or quadruple its size over 5-6 years through acquisitions and cost-cutting. While some of these deals have created jobs and improved operations, the Harvest Hosts takeover of Escapees shows the bumpy road this consolidation wave can create- when community and culture become subservient to profit margins and "operational efficiency."Sources:Community member timeline and documentation: Facebook groups and posts tracking the controversy - https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=excapers%20escapees Member reports of event cancellations and censorship: Facebook group discussions - https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=excapers%20escapeesRVForums.com discussion: https://rvforums.com/threads/harvest-hosts-buys-escapees-rv-club.18663/Trustpilot reviews: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/harvesthosts.comReddit complaints https://www.reddit.com/r/FullTiming/comments/1pnhrr3/escapees_dying_after_harvest_host_purchase/RVBusiness coverage: https://rvbusiness.com/harvest-hosts-takes-lead-mgt-role-in-escapees-rv-club/Harvest Hosts acquisition announcement (July 2024): https://www.harvesthosts.com/blog/harvest-hosts-acquires-escapees-rv-clubHarvest Hosts 2025 changes announcement: https://www.harvesthosts.com/blog/harvest-hosts-unveils-exciting-enhancements-for-2025-expanded-membership-options-and-seamless-access-to-rv-travel-benefitsMystery Surrounds Sudden Exit of RV Training Institute President Curt HemmelerMeanwhile, In Elkhart Indiana, there is a lot of insider talk wondering what happened at the RV Training Institute, a trade group aimed at providing training to RV technicians. After the unexpected and sudden departure of its President, Curt Hemmeler, late last month.In mid-October 2025, RVTA issued a brief statement confirming that Curt Hemmeler was no longer with RVTI, thanking him for his contributions and announcing that Sharonne Lee and Bryan Ritchie would provide interim oversight during the transition. RVB The announcement was characterized as an "unexpected leadership transition."Hemmeler had been with RVTI since December 2018, nearly seven years. He is the first and only president the group has ever had and was very well liked. Under his leadership, RVTI had grown significantly, with more than 23,000 individuals accessing the RVTI Learning Management System and over 7,000 newly certified RV technicians, with annual growth rates of 20-26%No reasons were given for the departure, but it's pretty clear this was NOT voluntary on Hemmeler's behalf. What stands out in this story is the complete lack of explanation. In an industry where Hemmeler had been so visible and clearly successful is unusual and raises questions. One report on RV News said Hemmeler declined to say he resigned and would not comment further, citing advice from his legal counsel. The industry desperately needs more RV techs. Just before the departure announcement, Hemmeler had been actively expanding Spanish-language certification options and developing partnerships with campground associations and colleges.The lack of an explanation on why such a high profile leader was removed and why a shroud of secrecy has enveloped this has spurned all sorts of rumors. And rumors are not good. The RVTA is too important to the industry to handle something like this so bush league.Source:RV News: https://www.rvnews.com/rv-technical-institute-director-leaves/?utm_source=chatgpt.comHas the National RV Traning Academy Texas been sold?On a related matter regarding another place where RV Techs are trained, I'm told by reliable industry sources that The National RV Training Academy Texas has been sold. The school trains RV service technicians and RV Inspectors, as well as RV owners interested in learning how to maintain the various systems of their recreational vehicles.The official announcement has not yet been made but the new owner is said to be Heavy Equipment Colleges, of Las Vegas, which is a similar training facility that concentrates on the construction industry and teaches students how to maintain machinery like bulldozers, cranes, and excavators. It has training across the country in several locations.We've reached out to get official confirmation and details on what all this means to the NRVTA students but have not heard back yet. Our sources say an announcement is expected soon.Sources:https://heavyequipmentcollege.edu/https://nrvta.com/National Park Entrance Delays We're getting reports now about the effect the stiff new entrance fees for non-U.S. residents are having on our national parks. According to the Washington Post, that question is causing longer wait times to enter parks and is leading some foreign tourists to turn away at the gates.Here's what's happening. As of January 1st, international visitors aged 16 and older now pay an extra $100 per person on top of regular entrance fees at 11 of America's most visited parks, including Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, and Zion. The nonresident annual pass also jumped from $80 to $250.To enforce this two-tiered pricing, park rangers must verify residency status and check IDs for every visitor 16 and older. That means asking about citizenship, reviewing documents like passports or driver's licenses, and sometimes dealing with language barriers.The problem? This is happening during a severe staffing crisis. The National Park Service has lost 24 percent of its permanent workforce since January 2025, nearly 4,000 people. With fewer rangers on duty and thousands more visitors needing ID verification, entrance lines are backing up significantly.Tour operators near parks like Yosemite report that many international visitors arrive unaware of the changes, leading to delays and confusion at entrance stations. Some are turning around rather than paying the unexpected surcharges.For RV travelers planning park visits: buy passes online in advance at Recreation.gov, have your government-issued photo ID ready, arrive early, and expect longer wait times at popular parks.Source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2026/01/09/national-parks-immigration-checks/Marcus Lemonis ordered to pay $14 million for damaging business people he supposedly was helpingMarcus Lemonis may no longer be running Camping World - He quit as CEO Jan 1 to become the new CEO if the revitalized Bed, Bath and Beyond, which is trying to rebound from bankruptcy - but his personal style of running things as a celebrity CEO has landed him in some hot water.He was just ordered by an arbitrator to pay more than $14 million to a group of business owners whose companies appeared on the CNBC TV show he hosted called"The Profit,"In fact, of the roughly 100 businesses featured on "The Profit," more than 50 filed lawsuits, engaged in mediation talks, or settled with Lemonis and NBCUniversal over the harm they say they endured.Last week, an arbitrator found that Lemonis violated the terms of a 2021 settlement barring him from making statements that could harm their reputations, according to documents filed in New York state court. The documents were filed as part of a petition to confirm the arbitration award after a 30-day payment deadline lapsed.The business owners said Lemonis ran afoul of the settlement terms when he spoke about them negatively over the span of roughly a year, starting in November 2021.The arbitrator, retired judge Ariel Belen, concluded in a 98 page ruling that Lemonis' "disdain for the respondents, complete disregard to his obligations in the settlement agreement, and apparent lack of concern for the harm suffered by respondents were all put on full display during the arbitration hearing."While he was CEO of Camping World, Camping World significantly expanded its RV dealership footprint to over 200, but the company faced a lot of accusations of aggressive sales tactics, undisclosed fees (like "dealer prep"), high-pressure selling, misleading warranty/service contracts, and issues with quality/repairs, leading to numerous consumer complaints and lawsuits. It will be interesting to see how Camping World, without Lemonis at the helm handles a wave of new competitive pressure these days from a bunch of other aggressive and acquisition-minded RV dealership chains like Blue Compass, General RV and Campers Inn, to name a few.Source: https://www.inc.com/ava-levinson/bed-bath-beyond-ceos-trash-talk-could-cost-him-millions/91285388And that's it for this week's RV Podcast News Edition. Before we go, let me ask you whether you are planning your 2026 RV adventures? If so, I want to invite you to join me for my comprehensive RV Trip Planning Workshop, where in a live, one-hour interactive presentation, I'll walk you through the exact system Jen and I use to create unforgettable travel experiences.
