WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW$15.7M Revenue in 2024 — Up 27% year-over-year, with a contract backlog now exceeding $55M and growing internationally.CEO Skin in the Game — Peter Pascali has invested $10M+ personallyValidated by the U.S. Navy — PAWDS systems installed on aircraft carriers like the USS Gerald R. Ford, with ongoing orders through 2032.Breakthrough in Fumed Silica — Pilot production confirmed by independent lab; LOI signed with global leader Evonik for further commercial evaluation.Industrial Decarbonization — Plasma torches deliver 45% energy savings and 30% faster meltingPyroGenesis Canada Inc. $PYR / $PYRGF isn't just another small-cap tech hopeful—it's generating real revenue and turning cutting-edge technology into commercial traction across multiple global industries. In 2024, the company reported $15.7 million in revenue, up from $12.3 million the year prior, alongside a growing contract backlog in the $55-60M range. Demand is being driven by signed and awarded contracts across the Middle East, Europe, and Asia, validating that PyroGenesis' plasma-based technologies are gaining momentum in real-world industrial environments.CEO INVESTMENT SIGNALS STRONG CONVICTIONIn a rare show of long-term commitment, CEO Peter Pascali has personally invested more than $10 million into the company, including $2.3 million in the most recent financing round. That conviction is backed by performance, not promotion. PyroGenesis runs an asset-light business model, enabling global scalability without the heavy capital expenditures typical of industrial tech ventures.VALIDATED BY THE U.S. NAVYPyroGenesis' Plasma Arc Waste Destruction System (PAWDS) is already installed aboard U.S. Navy aircraft carriers, including the USS Gerald R. Ford. This is more than a proof of concept—it's defense-grade technology in active operation, giving PyroGenesis rare credibility in the global defense sector.BREAKTHROUGH IN CLEAN FUMED SILICA PRODUCTIONIn clean tech, PyroGenesis has reached a major milestone in the production of fumed silica, an industrial compound used in coatings, batteries, and silicones. Unlike conventional methods, the company's proprietary process significantly reduces energy use, carbon emissions, and production costs. A recent pilot run yielded high-purity fumed silica, independently verified by a third-party lab to contain no unexpected contaminants. Global chemical leader Evonik has signed a Letter of Intent to evaluate the technology for potential commercial collaboration.PLASMA TORCHES DRIVING INDUSTRIAL DECARBONIZATIONPyroGenesis is also making strides in industrial decarbonization. Its plasma torch systems have demonstrated up to 45% energy savings and 30% faster melting times compared to traditional fossil-fuel burners. These performance gains have attracted the attention of firms like Norsk Hydro, which is exploring plasma electrification to reduce emissions in aluminum smelting.A MULTI-LEGGED PLATFORM FOR SCALABLE GROWTHRather than relying on a single innovation, PyroGenesis is building what Pascali describes as a “multi-legged stool”—a diversified, validated portfolio of technologies spanning defense, clean materials, metals processing, and waste-to-energy. With growing revenue, global partnerships, third-party validation, and a management team heavily invested in its success, PyroGenesis stands out as a small-cap company executing at a global level.
In this episode I introduce a new energy story to the show: Jericho Energy Ventures (TSX.V:JEV - OTC:JROOF - FRA:JLM). I'm joined by Brian Williamson, CEO of JEV, for a comprehensive look at the company's evolution from conventional energy operations to next-generation infrastructure. Key Themes Discussed: Oil & Gas Foundations: Jericho's portfolio includes low-decline, cash-flowing assets in central Oklahoma, developed with a long-term focus on existing infrastructure and equity partnerships. New Growth Path – Modular Data Centers: Leveraging stranded natural gas and fiber-optic proximity to power modular data centers—offering lower-cost, scalable alternatives to hyperscale builds. This initiative is positioned to address AI-driven demand and grid constraints. Digital Real Estate Model: Jericho aims to own and operate modular units, while tenants customize the compute side. Future plans include partnerships with nearby gas producers to expand this model across underutilized fields. Hydrogen Technologies: A secondary business line focused on industrial decarbonization, with near-term deployments including a boiler retrofit at a major university and a high-temperature alkaline electrolyzer solution through its Aetna subsidiary. Investment Outlook: With a current ~$55M market cap (CAD), Jericho is aiming to re-rate from a traditional microcap energy play to a tech-enabled infrastructure story, potentially attracting new investors and valuation multiples.

John St. Pierre built a $55M business, raised $20M in private equity… and was fired from the company he co-founded just six months later. But instead of walking away, he turned that gut-wrenching moment into the foundation for a new $100M+ business — built patiently, profitably, and on his terms. This episode is a raw, no-fluff masterclass in scaling smart, protecting your equity, and bouncing back when everything crashes. Through real-life lessons and battle-tested strategy, John breaks down how to grow without losing control — and why most founders don't realize they're vulnerable until it's too late. • Getting fired from his own company after raising $20M • How losing everything led to a $100M comeback • Building self-financeable growth instead of relying on outside capital • Creating a 30-year life plan and aligning business decisions to it • Moving from CEO to Chairperson to unlock true strategic scale • Why founders must protect their cap table early • The danger of shiny object syndrome and how he overcame it • The real cost of burnout and over-scaling • How to forecast, protect cash, and build margin visibility • Why “patient ambition” beats hyper-growth every time My Links Host: Tyler Martin , Fractional CFO and Business Coach Having challenges scaling and growing your business?

Chuck sits down with Colin Grabow from the Cato Institute to break down how this outdated law makes everything from groceries to gas more expensive, why it costs a mind-blowing $333M to build a U.S. ship when the same one costs $55M overseas, and what can actually be done about it.

Advise, the data, analytics and AI platform provider helping retail manufacturers and brand owners to unlock revenues and margin growth, has announced that it has raised €1.55M in funding as it continues its aggressive international growth. Following a year of 250% growth in revenue, the funding will be used to support the company's global expansion plans, which will see Advise double its headcount in the next 12 to 18 months. Despite a turbulent few years - exacerbated by Brexit, COVID-19 and geopolitical uncertainty -the global consumer goods market has continued to grow year-on-year, helped by a focus on digital transformation to meet changing market needs. Advise's growth has been inspired by this movement as manufacturers seek data-driven solutions for their operations, which can lead to margin growth and better, data-driven pricing strategies with retailers. These can include new product development, promotional and non-promotional pricing, and discounts and offers. Advise, the trading name for RecommenderX, was founded by Dr Kevin McCarthy and John Phelan. The company has developed an AI-powered SaaS platform that harmonises sales, inventory and customer data from multiple sources - making it the go-to platform for easily accessible, accurate data analytics. In doing so, it provides manufacturers and brand owners - such as Pilgrims Europe, Dr Oetker (Ireland) and Britvic - with the actionable insights needed to grow their market share and plan mutually beneficial pricing strategies for retailers and consumers. It also gives manufacturers the ability to compare product performance across retailers and benchmark themselves against competitors - therefore ensuring they are making the best possible returns. Advise's funding round was led by Business Venture Partners (BVP) through their EIIS fund and supported by existing investors, including ACT Venture Capital, Elkstone, Enterprise Ireland, and a group of private investors. The investment will help Advise to meet, and capitalise on, the rise in demand for its platform by increasing its presence in Ireland, the UK and the US. Maintaining its focus on an intuitive user experience and speed to insights, the company will pursue its expansion plan with a greater focus on sales and marketing in each location, along with a larger development team. The new roles, which will be located in all three markets, will be in the areas of sales, engineering and data science. Dr Kevin McCarthy, CEO and co-founder, Advise, said: "For decades, retailers have been leveraging their data to determine product pricing strategies, while manufacturers have lacked the insights to have any meaningful influence. With pressure on retailers to consistently drive down consumer costs - especially now amidst the ongoing cost-of-living crisis - this can leave manufacturers with no bargaining chips and very low margins. "Our easy-to-use AI platform democratises and simplifies the data analytics process and will drive greater competition in retail. It addresses a previously unmet need, and the new funding reflects a market confidence in this solution. The investment, and our partnerships with our investors, will be critical in bringing Advise to the next stage of our journey." Andrew McGreal, Investment Director, Business Venture Partners (BVP), said: "Retailers and their manufacturers operate in a traditional industry, but with a very complex data ecosystem. Historically, this combination made data analytics and the ability to unearth actionable insights at pace a challenge. The Advise platform, built specifically for this purpose and industry, enables better decisions and lightning speed to reveal real insights at a low cost of ownership. It's a game changer for the industry. We have been hugely impressed by the team in Advise and what they have built so far and are thrilled to be supporting their plans for expansion."

This episode features an interview with Aleks Bass, Chief Product Officer at Typeform, the web-based platform you can use to create anything from surveys to apps, without needing to write a single line of code. Aleks has over 18 years of experience in product marketing, product management and consumer insights in B2B SaaS and D2C. In her current role as Chief Product Officer, she leads product management, design, research, and product operations. Her priority is creating user-centric digital solutions. Aleks has previously held leadership roles at Momentive, Adobe and Qualtrics, which has since been acquired by SAP. In this episode, Aleks shares her insights on how product and product marketing can enhance customer experience. She discusses the importance of aligning product management with consumer insights, the role of design in digital CX, and trends in customer behavior. Aleks elaborates on Typeform's new product, Typeform for Growth, which aims to boost customer acquisition using AI. The conversation also touches on measuring digital customer experience, the balance between automation and human interaction, and the significance of diversity in tech leadership. Finally, Aleks discusses Typeform's future vision of creating a holistic customer experience and the essential role of AI in achieving this goal.Quotes*”Good design for me in digital CX is intuitive, accessible, and empathetic. But the number one thing it has to absolutely do is be usable. So I prioritize usability over anything that's new, aesthetically pleasing, keeping up with the trends, et cetera. Design's ultimate role is to anticipate user needs and remove friction points from the experience and remove them from having blockages in their ability to do the things that they need to do.”*”There is a difference between asking people for feedback and truly understanding what they're saying to you in the context of what their broader pain points are versus asking for feedback and taking that feedback at face value. Because if I don't understand the pain points that you personally experience, I might interpret the feedback that you're giving me differently, and I might not be solving for the true challenge that you are facing. Whereas if I deeply understand a marketer's workflow, what tools they're using, how they're using those tools, the gaps in those current tools, what they wish they could do, how certain tools are not playing nicely with other tools, it allows me to create solutions that are actually much more adaptable to their individual use cases. And so that's the piece within customer centricity, customer experience, and strategy that I feel like is really critical to create better experiences for our customers.”*”There's no shortcut in trying to figure out and learn about your customers. You have to do the work and you have to spend the time and you have to engage in the most effective way to get the most insight out of their patterns and pain points and challenges.”There's no shortcut in trying to figure out and learn about your customers. You have to do the work and spend the time and to get the most insight”.*”A gap in the customer experience is when automation serves the company, not the customer. Automation should ultimately keep people at the center. Yes, it can help companies improve efficiency. I think we all can see the benefits of that. But if it is hurting your customer experience, then that's a negative outcome for your business ultimately.”Time Stamps[0:01] Meet Aleks Bass, Chief Product Officer at Typeform[0:56] Connecting Product Marketing to Customer Experience[4:04] Designing for Digital Customer Experience[5:44] Trends in Customer Behavior[7:03] Introducing Typeform for Growth[9:22] Enhancing Lead Generation with AI[11:49] Fostering Exceptional Digital Customer Experience[27:59] Personalizing Customer Experience[33:18] Building Trust and Measuring Success[36:55] Balancing Automation and Human Interaction[39:22] Positive Customer Experience Examples[44:09] The Importance of Diverse Perspectives[46:03] Future of Typeform and TechnologyAbout our guest, Aleks BassAleks Bass is a product leader with an 18+ year career that includes product management, product marketing, and consumer insights for both B2B SaaS and D2C self-serve products.

This Week in Real Estate, we will talk about CoStar Group's Q2 revenue surged with $55M from Homes.com bookings—what's driving this growth? We'll untangle the proposed NAR settlement and its ripple effects on appraisals and agent data transparency. Colorado officials just said no to mandatory buyer agreements; we'll explore what this means for consumers & the settlement. With mortgage rates dipping, typical monthly housing payments are down, but why are house hunters still waiting? Home prices are climbing at their slowest pace since early 2023, yet the median sales price for existing homes just hit a record high. What's causing this paradox? Summer's seeing a record number of buyers backing out of deals, and nearly two-thirds of listings are stagnating on the market. We'll discuss the latest trends and strategies. Plus, mortgage demand is plummeting as buyers hold out for better rates, and Biden's rent cap plan is stirring up controversy among housing groups. Catch all this and more, today!

Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants
The San Francisco Giants and J.D. Davis' agent, Matt Hannaford, are engaged in a war of words after Davis was released by the Giants on Monday, leaving Davis with just a fraction of his non-guaranteed $6.9 million salary. Did the Giants do something wrong, or did Davis' agent overplay his hand?All of the details and public comments are discussed and analyzed. In essence, both parties claim that the SF Giants came in with an offer that was, according to Hannaford, "several hundred thousand" below the SF Giants' $6.55M filing number within an hour of the deadline to exchange figures. Giants president of baseball operations responded very specifically, saying that the Giants' offer was for just under $6.4M. Regardless, the key point is that had Davis' representation accepted the Giants' offer, that money would be guaranteed. If they passed on the offer and the deadline to exchange figures arrived, which it ultimately did, then Davis would go to an arbitration hearing fighting for non-guaranteed money.Any way you look at this, it seems like Davis' agent did a poor job helping his client. The SF Giants were linked to Matt Chapman all offseason. Davis himself commented publicly on the possibility of the Giants signing Chapman before it happened. So there's absolutely no reason Davis should've let this go to an arbitration hearing, knowing that the money would not be guaranteed if it did—whether they won or lost the hearing.What ended up transpiring was that the Giants did indeed sign Chapman, clearly making Davis the odd man out. Davis' agent should've known that would be the case—it was immediately discussed on Locked On Giants once the Chapman deal was reported. The SF Giants looked for a trade partner for Davis, were unable to find one, and put him on outright waivers. Any team could've claimed Davis and his $6.9M (non-guaranteed through Opening Day) salary, and every team passed. At that point, the Giants were left with no choice but to release Davis, leaving him with just 30 days pay, or just over $1.1M. All in all, this looks like a major blunder by Davis' representation and not really something that the Giants did wrong. It stinks for J.D. Davis nonetheless and hopefully he lands on his feet. Davis ultimately made north of $6M in his 1 1/3 seasons with the Giants.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:
