    Alexia Putellas: Why the World’s Best Player Left Barcelona for London City? | CEO Explains

    Can billionaire investment turn a women’s football club into a sustainable business? London City Lionesses are taking a different approach to the Women’s Super League. With Michele Kang’s backing, the club is investing in facilities, players and performance with the ambition of becoming financially sustainable within five years. But can that model work in a league where success on the pitch is still central to commercial growth? Natalie Pirks is joined by Martin Siemmens to explore the business of women’s football, from WSL financial regulations and player investment to sponsorship, multi-club ownership and the lessons the women’s game can learn from the Premier League. As investment pours into women’s sport, they ask whether its future depends on building a business model of its own, rather than copying the men’s game. Hosted on Acast.

    The Real Reason Nigerian Politicians Change After Winning — Chude Jideonwo

    Chude Jideonwo has worked on political campaigns as a job for years. The 2015 Buhari campaign was the one he believed in. "Even me, I drank from my own supply." After the win, one of his dearest friends called and said, "Today, I think we've created a monster." Before the campaigns and the Villa, he was a kid in a Lagos private school, flogged in front of the whole assembly because his parents couldn't pay school fees. By 15 he was working full time. "I shall not be poor. It will never happen." Chude co-founded RED with Adebola Williams, the company behind The Future Awards Africa and YNaija, and his teams ran communications for Buhari in 2015 and Nana Akufo-Addo in Ghana in 2016. He hosts #WithChude, one of Africa's most watched talk shows, and has put $500,000 of his own money into the Fourth Mainland Fund for African creators. In this episode we get into the night Goodluck Jonathan learned the 2011 election was postponed (Chude was in the room), why Peter Obi has done more interviews than every Nigerian president since Babangida combined, why Dangote's survival was never guaranteed, the $1,000 month that put #WithChude behind a paywall, and why "it's the local taste that scales."

    #577 - Eloy Spinnler - Chef, Groupe Bonaloi - Viser l'excellence sans sacrifier l'humain

    Notre nouveau film « Europe : il va falloir arrêter de subir 🇪🇺 » est dispo sur YouTube : https://taap.it/rewrosY À 32 ans, Eloy Spinnler dirige 3 restaurants et 140 collaborateurs, et 400 000 personnes le suivent sur Instagram et YouTube. Il a arrêté de courir après les étoiles : pour lui, la cuisine, c’est avant tout faire plaisir. Entré à Ferrandi à 13 ans, il a le sentiment qu’on lui a volé son adolescence. Pendant que ses potes font la fête à Budapest, lui se fait malmener à la Tour d’Argent. Un soir, en renfort chez le chef Juan Arbelaez, il découvre une équipe débordée mais souriante : on peut être exigeant sans faire souffrir. Pourtant une fois chef, il reproduit ce qu’il a subi. Jusqu’au jour où il menace un cuisinier, et réalise qu’il est devenu le chef qu’il détestait. C’est le déclic : pour changer, et faire changer les autres, il passe par la réserve opérationnelle de l’armée pour comprendre l’esprit de corps, puis par le coaching. Résultat : aucun échec pour ses 3 restaurants, Orgueil, Colère et Envie le Banquet, chacun inspiré d’un péché capital. Aujourd’hui, son groupe Bonaloi affiche un ticket moyen de 60 euros, achète ses cochons entiers pour ne rien gaspiller et n’a jamais été aux prud’hommes en cinq ans. On aborde aussi : - Les trois grandes étapes qui ont fait sortir les chefs de leur cuisine : Auguste Escoffier, Paul Bocuse et Top Chef- Pourquoi la violence en cuisine est « la solution de la flemme », et comment l’anticipation la remplace- Comment il s’est associé à parts égales avec Benoît, arrivé après lui, et pourquoi l’acquisition progressive de ses parts les a rassurés tous les deux- Comment rendre un buffet à volonté rentable et anti-gaspi, et pourquoi il récompense les assiettes finies au lieu de pénaliser les restes- Comment il finance ses prochains restaurants avec sa communauté, sans perdre sa liberté Un épisode profond et plein d’émotion, où Eloy raconte avec passion la gestion de ses restaurants, ses associations, ses remises en question, et comment il apprend à écouter ses émotions, quitte à se faire accompagner. À écouter pour tous ceux qui veulent manager autrement. Chef, entrepreneur, créateur de contenu : Eloy a une influence positive, dans ses combats comme dans sa cuisine. Passez dans l’un des restaurants d'Eloy (Orgueil, Colère ou Envie le Banquet) de notre part : le café est offert. Vous pouvez contacter Eloy sur Instagram et Linkedin.

    Segment: Success Is Built on Sacrifice Most People Never See

    ["What if the biggest difference between African entrepreneurs who build globally recognized brands and those who remain trapped in local markets isn't how much capital they raise or which business school they attended, but understanding that one viral post from the right influencer can take your business from 20% to 120% overnight, that the chef who started with a 22-seater restaurant where customers literally sat in their cars waiting for tables discovered something business schools will never teach you about the power of focusing on one exceptional product instead of trying to do everything, and that the founder who spent 15 years sleeping in trucks living in clubs and almost losing their life before success arrived has stumbled onto something about resilience and undying passion that separates those who build lasting brands from those who quit when the struggle gets too hard? In this raw and unfiltered conversation on Konnected Minds, we sit down with Chef Sheriff Sonny who reveals why they changed all the uniforms did a little bit of rebranding gradually and it started to grow beyond expectation, why one of his friends Diary of a Kitchen Lover Chef T who he didn't even know came and made a post saying hey my Wondo brother Chef Sani and she's one of the biggest food influencers in Nigeria made a video and it went viral, why he remembers one of his girls was really pounding yam and she fainted she passed out because they had so much orders that it was super overwhelming, and why he had tears rolling down his cheeks tears of joy asking is this really happening so this will eventually work after paying his price and sacrificing everything. He breaks down why when she did the post people were coming celebrities a lot of popular people very influential because it is pounded yam and where do you want to get this in Lagos, why Aquifer Macking one of their biggest supporters from time came did his thing and boom, why those two people just took the brand from if they were at 20% they probably took it to 120%, and why if you wanted to find pounded yam in Lagos you go to Elenio in Lekki and that changed the story for them. But he also confronts the brutal reality of what that success looked like. Why it was a 22-seater restaurant and people literally stayed in their cars and ordered, why people sat in their cars waiting for customers to dine and leave so they could come into the restaurant because a lot of people didn't want to take it home, why people wanted to have freshly pounded yam straight from the mortar to their plate to their table so people didn't want takeout they wanted to have that illegal experience, and why at that time they had to just rebrand and when they rebranded and started to push out a lot of content it just kept growing. He reveals why people come and some people don't come and they're amazed saying you guys sell only pounded yam and you have this multi-crowd, why they've had visits from almost all the biggest communities in Nigeria especially the ones in Lagos or this part of Nigeria and they come in to dine casually like regular people, why people just see the success today but they don't see the 15 16 years of almost losing their lives the challenges living in his truck sleeping in the club hanging till morning so he could go back to his truck, and why it was a lot of stress but people just see today's success and that's why he's always very eager to share his story. But he also exposes what really built the brand. Why if you know his story know where he's coming from you would appreciate the brand today, why it's a brand that has been built on grits resilience passion undying passion, why it's a brand that has been built on sweat on pain tears, why quite a number of people know this story and this is one of the reasons why a lot of these people also support the brand, and why they also enjoy the meal they enjoy the service and to God be the glory here they are today. He breaks down why in 2023 his family got PR opportunity in Canada through his wife who is a pharmacist, why he sat down and said this is already working business is already working and growing rapidly so this is time to now start looking at with this PR as a leverage start looking at international markets, why some people say is it not better for you to expand wide in Nigeria but sometimes opportunities show up where you least expect and you want to leverage, and why what would cost someone who's coming in as a temporary resident the opportunities a permanent resident has is way different. But he also reveals his vision for scaling African food globally. Why when the opportunity came they had to grab it saying they're going to scale this business to Canada because there's a very huge fast growing population of African immigrants, why the same experience you've had here you can also have it in Canada and if you come to Toronto tomorrow you can have the same experience, why right now they don't exactly have a...
