She's one of the smartest people I've ever met on learning enterprise sales, and in this follow-up to our first chat two years ago (covering the zero to $1 million ARR founder-led sales phase), we focus on the skills founders need to learn to go from $1M to $10M ARR.We discuss:1. Why the “mid-market” doesn't exist2. Why tier-one logos like Stripe and Tesla counterintuitively make the best early customers3. The dangers of pricing your product at $10K-$20K4.

This week on The KOKO Show the lads are left to pick up the pieces after watching the Wallabies get put to the sword by a clinical English side over the Weekend. As Australians, there are a few things in life that can completely ruin your day: an increase in petrol prices, a shit coffee, tall poppies and losing to England in absolutely anything. So, being joined on the pod by one of England's favourite sons Ugo Monye, made the licking of wounds so much harder for the lads as they had to navigate all the salt he was rubbing into them. With Ugo in tow and chipper as hell we broke down the English tidy up at Twickenham, illuminating where the Poms were perfect and why the Aussies couldn't fire a single shot. Ugo also gave us the low down on the English public's current feelings about their rugby team and who they absolutely hate losing to on the world stage. Plus, we ran our collective footballing IQ's across all the other international matches that happened over the weekend, results that saw South Africa jump Japan, Scotland make light work of the USA and the All Blacks pull apart the Irish. Finally, the KOKO crew look forward to next weekend as the Wallabies shape up to take on the Italians in Udine, whilst also previewing all the other big international matches on the card. So, to all my fellow Australians, lift up your chins, raise up your voices and say something mean to your local English import. It is time to forget about last weekend's result, move on to next week's match and enjoy the soothing sounds of an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

Trampa plāns pamieram Gazā īstenojas. Nobela Miera prēmija Venecuēlas opozīcijas līderei

Divas puslodes

Raidījuma uzmanības fokusā Tuvie Austrumi un Amerikas vidienē, mazliet pievēršoties arī Madagaskarai. Protams, runājam par Gazu, kurai šajās dienās ir pievērsta praktiski visas pasaules uzmanība. 13. oktobra rītā saskaņā ar noslēgto vienošanos tika atbrīvoti visi vēl dzīvi esošie ķīlnieki, ko "Hamās" bija sagrābis pirms diviem gadiem. Nav šaubu, ka tas ir arī liels ASV prezidenta Donalda Trampa nopelns, un pats Tramps nepārprotami pirmdien baudīja savus slavas mirkļus. Viņš ieradās Izraēlā, kur viņu gaidīja kā nacionālo varoni. Tajā pašā laikā politiskie eksperti piesardzīgi vērtējumos, cik ilgstošs un noturīgs pašreizējais miers būs. Ja Izraēlā Trampu novērtē kā miera nesēju, tad ir valstis, kur tagad ASV uzskata par potenciālu drīzu kara izraisītāju. Venecuēla nopietni gatavojas ASV iebrukumam. Par Venecuēlu jārunā arī vairāku citu iemeslu dēļ, arī piešķirtās Nobela Miera prēmijas dēļ, kuru nesen saņēma nevis Donalds Tramps, kurš to ļoti iekāroja, bet gan Venecuēlas opozīcijas līdere. Aktualitātes komentē Latvijas Radio Ziņu dienesta žurnālists Rustams Šukurovs, Ģeopolitikas pētījumu centra vecākais pētnieks Jānis Kažociņš un Latvijas Ārpolitikas institūta pētnieks, RSU docētājs Toms Rātfelders. Sengaidītais (pus)miers 8. oktobrī Izraēlas valdības un organizācijas „Hamās” pārstāvji vienojās par karadarbības pārtraukšanu, balstoties Savienoto Valstu prezidenta Donalda Trampa izvirzītajā miera plānā. Dienu vēlāk šo vienošanos akceptēja Izraēlas ministru kabinets, pēc kam 10. oktobrī iestājās uguns pārtraukšana un sākās ķīlnieku atbrīvošanas process. 13. oktobra rītā, uzrunājot Izraēlas parlamentu Knesetu, ASV līderis pasludināja kara beigas, lai gan saprotams, ka runa pagaidām ir tikai par trauslu pamieru. Izraēlai nozīmīgākais rezultāts ir pēdējo divdesmit izdzīvojušo 2023. gada oktobrī sagūstīto izraēliešu atbrīvošana, kas notika pirmdienas rītā. Neatdoti paliek vēl divdesmit astoņu gūstā bojāgājušo ķermeņi. Pretī teroristiskā organizācija saņem gandrīz divus tūkstošus no Izraēlas cietumiem atbrīvotus palestīniešus, tai skaitā 250 ar mūža ieslodzījumu notiesātos. Pēc piektdien notikušās uguns pārtraukšanas un Izraēlas paziņojuma, ka iedzīvotāji var droši atgriezties Gazas pilsētā, sākusies intensīva bēgļu kustība uz pamatīgi izpostīto anklāva lielāko centru. Pirmajā noregulējuma posmā Izraēla piekritusi atvilkt savus spēkus no četrdesmit septiņiem procentiem Gazas joslas platības; nākamajos divos posmos paredzēta turpmāka atvilkšana, galu galā paturot savā kontrolē apmēram 15 procentus teritorijas – drošības perimetru, no kura izraēlieši aizies tad, kad tiks atzīts, ka no Gazas joslas vairs neizriet nekādi teroristisku uzbrukumu draudi. Līdz ar uguns pārtraukšanu kara izpostītajā teritorijā intensīvi sākusi ieplūst palīdzība – ne vien pārtika,  medikamenti un pirmās nepieciešamības preces, bet arī materiāli un tehnika gruvešu novākšanai un infrastruktūras atjaunošanai. Nākamais punkts prezidenta Trampa Tuvo Austrumu vizītes maršrutā bija Šarmalšeihas kūrorts Ēģiptē, kur 13. oktobrī uz Gazas miera konferenci bija pulcējušies ap trīsdesmit valstu un starptautisko organizāciju vadītāju. Bez nozīmīgāko Rietumeiropas, Persijas līča un dažu citu ietekmīgu pasaules nāciju vadītājiem, tāpat ANO ģenerālsekretāra, Eiropadomes prezidenta un Arābu līgas ģenerālsekretāra, piedalījās arī tādi, varētu teikt, negaidīti starptautiskā procesa dalībnieki kā Armēnijas un Ungārijas premjerministri, Azerbaidžānas un Paragvajas prezidenti. No aicinātajiem samitu ar savu klātbūtni nebija pagodinājis Izraēlas premjers Netanjahu, kā iemeslu minot attiecīgajā dienā atzīmējamus nozīmīgus ebreju garīgos svētkus, un Irānas vadītāji, paziņojot, ka nevar piedalīties kopīgā pasākumā ar tiem, kuri nesen militāri uzbrukuši viņu valstij. Samitā apspriestais Trampa divdesmit punktu Gazas miera plāns paredz joslas demilitarizāciju, tur izvietojamus starptautiskus stabilizācijas spēkus un pagaidu pārvaldes institūciju. Domājams, līdzšinējiem Gazas saimniekiem – teroristiskajam grupējumam „Hamās” – šai sakarā ir no samita rīkotājiem diezgan atšķirīgs viedoklis. Miera prēmija un „lielgaballaivu politika” 10. oktobrī Norvēģijas Nobela komiteja darīja zināmu savu lēmumu piešķirt šī gada Nobela Miera prēmiju Venecuēlas opozīcijas līderei Marijai Korinai Mačado. Nu jau ceturtdaļgadsimtu viņa ir opozīcijā savas dzimtenes valdošajam režīmam – vispirms Ugo Čavesam, pēc tam viņa varas mantiniekam Nikolasam Maduro. Kulmināciju šī pretstāve sasniedza 2023. gadā, kad viņa pieteica savu kandidatūru 2024. gada Venecuēlas prezidenta vēlēšanām. Valdošais režīms aizliedza opozicionārei kandidēt, viņas vietā startēja venecuēliešu politikas veterāns un diplomāts Edmundo Gonsaless. Lai arī opozīcija iesniedza aptauju rezultātus, kas apliecināja tās kandidāta uzvaru, varas kontrolētā Nacionālā vēlēšanu padome pasludināja par uzvarētāju Maduro. Kopš šīm vēlēšanām Marija Mačado spiesta slēpties, baidoties no režīma izrēķināšanās. Līdz ar Nobela komitejas lēmumu noslēgusies arī intriga par iespējamu prēmijas piešķiršanu Donaldam Trampam, kurš to faktiski pieprasīja, darbinādams šai sakarā arī politiskā spiediena sviras. Tomēr tiek lēsts, ka Baltā nama saimnieka ambīciju izpaudumiem bijusi ietekme uz komitejas izšķiršanos. Mačado ir Trampa dabiska sabiedrotā Vašingtonas pašreizējā politiskajā kursā pret Karakasu. Diktators Maduro allaž ir bijis prezidenta Trampa neieredzēts, pie tam tagad par vadmotīvu šai attieksmei kļuvušas apsūdzības narkotiku iepludināšanā Savienotajās  Valstīs. Kopš septembra sākuma amerikāņu jūras spēki uzsākuši t.s. narkolaivu medības Karību jūrā, nogremdēti nu jau vismaz septiņi peldlīdzekļi, nogalināto skaits tuvojas trim desmitiem. Tiek izteiktas versijas par to, ka šīm akcijām varētu sekot citas ar citu bruņoto spēku veidu iesaisti. Par to, cik pamatotas ir apsūdzības narkotiku transportēšanā, grūti spriest, taču nepārprotami tā ir Savienoto Valstu spēka politikas demonstrācija reģionā. Tā nu venecuēliešu opozicionāre Mačado netieši kļuvusi par Donalda Trampa „jaunās lielgaballaivu politikas” atbalstītāju. Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš.

Ugo, Sara, Katy Daley-McLean and Philippa Tuttiett reflect on a mixed day for the home nations at the Women's Rugby World Cup. England and Scotland are into the quarter-finals, but defeat to Canada sees Sean Lynn's Wales eliminated. Despite their tournament ending after only two matches, are there still plenty of positives for Wales to draw upon? The 92-3 victory over Samoa was the Red Roses' biggest in World Cup history, but did the moment of the game belong to the Pacific Islanders? And who from an England perspective shone in Northampton? We also discuss Scotland reaching the last eight of a World Cup for the first time since 2012.
