Todd Haushalter: iGaming NEXT 100th Podcast Special!
🎙 Podcast #100 with Pierre Lindh and Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution In this special landmark episode, we decided to shake things up a bit and headed to one of the most exciting bars in Malts - La Luz! The 100th podcast is a bit a different - you get to meet a different side of the two most known names in the industry. Today they sit down as friends just having a conversation as they recall the times where it all began, having their friendship start at the begginning of Pierre’s podcast series. Todd talks about his upcoming as a CPO of one of the biggest companies in the iGaming industry, Evolution as an unbeatable company, and what the future holds. Join in the broad conversation between Pierre and Todd that covers childhood dreams, growth, learning, politics, goals and aspirations. Here they drop their titles and talk about themselves and not just iGaming - exactly what happens in the pulsating atmosphere of La Luz. ABOUT LA LUZ: La Luz is a cozy little cocktail bar in Sliema with a whole lot of spirit. Easily found by the neon praying hands outside, one would be forgiven for thinking it resembled a quaint chapel nestled between houses somewhere amongst the throes of Mexico City, for that is exactly the vibe inside. From the Spanish meaning 'The Light', in their own words, La Luz "stands as a kind of spiritual reminder not to lose hope, and to keep fighting when the going gets tough." Words that hit home for the team at iGaming NEXT over the past couple of years, it was exactly for this reason we felt it was the perfect location for our 100th podcast, and a sanctuary to unwind for our team. You can check them out at https://laluz.bar/ and book for private events. Be sure to tell them iGaming NEXT sent you, they'll make you feel like family. _____ This episode of the iGaming NEXT Podcast is hosted by Pierre Lindh, MD/Co-Founder at iGaming NEXT and is brought to you by: Pragmatic Solutions. – Leading iGaming platform technology.

Thomas Mahoney: Employer branding; the concept and where it's headed
In this episode, Heidi Lofthus sits down with Thomas Mahoney, Cheif Marketing & Operations Officer at ARize Group. Thomas explains employee branding and why it's important for every business. The concept has evolved and lived through two ‘generations’ of employer branding with a third one on its way. What is certain is that employer branding has become an integral part of company structures, however, we do experience high staff turnover levels due to the mis-aligned implementation of this concept. Whilst we continue to learn and adapt to a fast-moving macro-environment, Thomas is all in for a version 3.0, where employer branding integrates technology as a key framework component to create a futuristic working experience which will change the way employees work and interact with each other. He also discusses how his company, ARize Group, a leading 3D, AR & VR supplier for businesses can provide solutions for employee branding. ABOUT THOMAS MAHONEY Over 17 years of B2B & B2C experience in iGaming, E-commerce & Blockchain specialising in Employer Branding, Marketing & Brand management, as well as social media platforms and Operations. In parallel to every role and project Thomas has worked on, Employer Branding is a concept he has been evolving and working to educate people on within the digital industry since 2010. Thomas has also worked as an employer branding journalist to stimulate the integration of this concept by industry players and his work has also assisted numerous brands win awards in the Employer Branding space. A demonstrated history of working with high level management executives and building teams of various natures. He holds an M.B.A. focused in Marketing (social media platforms) from Henley Management College, London. _____ This episode of the iGaming NEXT Podcast is hosted by Heidi Lofthus, Project Director at iGaming NEXT and is brought to you by: Pragmatic Solutions. – Leading iGaming platform technology.
