The energy transition faces political headwinds, but market forces tell a different story. Today on the Clean Power Hour, Keith Zakheim, CEO of Antenna Group and host of the Age of Adoption podcast, shares why he remains bullish on clean energy despite policy challenges.Keith brings 20 years of communications experience in the clean energy sector. His agency has grown alongside the industry, helping companies navigate everything from the early cleantech boom to today's political landscape. In this conversation, he breaks down why the transition continues regardless of Washington politics.Key Discussion Points:Why 96% of new grid capacity in April 2025 came from renewablesHow corporate demand from tech giants creates policy-agnostic growthThe shift from "age of innovation" to "age of adoption" in clean energyCommunication strategies for sustainability companies in challenging timesWhy energy abundance arguments resonate better than climate messagingThe economics driving renewable competitiveness without subsidiesHow to align clean energy with administration priorities around security, strength, and prosperityKeith explains why supply and demand fundamentals favor renewables. Tech companies need massive amounts of new electricity for AI and data centers. Traditional energy sources face capacity constraints and long build times. This creates opportunities for solar, wind, and batteries to compete purely on economics.The conversation covers practical advice for clean energy companies on messaging and market positioning. Keith advocates for incremental change over radical transformation, focusing on multiple value propositions beyond environmental benefits.This episode offers perspective for energy professionals, investors, and policy watchers trying to understand market dynamics beyond political noise.

My guest today is Eric Weiss, founder of Blockchain Investment Group and one of the earliest institutional investors in Bitcoin. In this episode, Eric shares how his background as a proprietary bond trader and early internet VC led him to Bitcoin in 2013, and how he eventually played a key role in orange-pilling Michael Saylor. We explore the rise of Bitcoin treasury companies, the structural tax advantages driving public Bitcoin adoption across countries like Brazil and Japan, and the global capital shift from legacy equities to Bitcoin-backed firms. Eric offers a grounded take on Bitcoin's role as a store of value, argues against the need for it to replace fiat currencies, and explains why stablecoins could reinforce U.S. monetary dominance. He reflects on Stoic philosophy, personal responsibility, and the ethics of building something that benefits everyone. This is a conversation about conviction, sovereignty, and why the future of finance is being quietly rewritten, one balance sheet at a time.00:00 Coming Up…01:10 Meet Eric Weiss: Early Bitcoin Institutional Investor02:25 Eric's Role in The Bitcoin Ecosystem06:02 The Impact of Bitcoin Treasury Companies On Bitcoin Adoption?08:00 Eric's Path: From Wall Street to Bitcoin13:00 The Emotional Rollercoaster of Early Bitcoin Investing16:40 People Get Bitcoin in The Right Time For Them 19:04 What Does Success Mean to Eric?21:46 The Musical Chairs of the Monetary Order26:00 Bitcoin + Stablecoins: A Future Financial Operating System?28:53 Will the U.S. Face Global Pushback Over Dollar Dominance?34:00 CBDCs Will Accelerate Bitcoin Adoption37:56 Why Bitcoin?

In this episode of All Things Policy, Bharath Reddy and Carl Jaison speak to Pranav Gupta, Doctoral Candidate at University of California, Berkeley on initial findings from a survey conducted by the Centre for Policy Research & Governance (CPRG), which surveyed close to 6000 students across Delhi's universities and colleges to understand how AI is transforming higher education. They discuss the use cases for which students are increasingly turning to AI tools but also the challenges arising out of ethical concerns, trust issues, and technical hurdles. They also address the future pathways of AI adoption in higher education and whether government policy interventions need to be considered.All Things Policy is a daily podcast on public policy brought to you by the Takshashila Institution, Bengaluru.Find out more on our research and other work here: https://takshashila.org.in/research-areasCheck out our public policy courses here: https://school.takshashila.org.in
Lean BPI, the Irish digital growth consultancy for SMEs and microenterprises, has announced new survey results which reveal that cost is the greatest inhibitor of digital transformation for small enterprises in Ireland. The research found that almost half (46%) of small business owners cite it as a top barrier. The research of 100 business owners in Ireland, running companies with 20 employees or fewer, was carried out by Censuswide on behalf of Lean BPI. It found that other major obstacles cited by businesses included legacy systems and cybersecurity risks (36% each) and connectivity issues (29%). The latter appears to be a significantly greater issue for organisations who are fully remote, with 37% who operate this working model saying connectivity is a barrier. Despite concerns among small enterprises regarding the cost of digital adoption, 34% admit they have not made use of any Government digital supports. However, there is strong interest, with 75% expressing a desire to learn more about them. Lean BPI is encouraging small enterprises to prioritise digital transformation and take advantage of available supports to protect themselves from external risks and increasing market competition. Concerningly, one-third (34%) of small business owners feel they are not keeping up with the pace of digital change of their rivals, indicating the importance of digital adoption in remaining competitive. In addition, small enterprises recognise the significance of digital adoption in general, with 64% agreeing digital transformation is helping their business to grow. This is evident in the research which found 38% of businesses are getting further sales and prospective leads through their social media channels. It is therefore unsurprising that 75% plan to invest more in digital over the next 12 months and 70% have a clear digital strategy for their business in place. John O'Shanahan, founder and managing director, Lean BPI, said: "Although cost is a significant factor in digital adoption, government grants can substantially ease the financial burden for small enterprises. The research suggests that inconsistent behaviour may stem from an awareness gap, with over three-quarters of small businesses eager to learn more about the supports available. "With external pressures and intensified competition at play, small enterprises risk falling behind if they fail to adapt to the digital environment. It's essential that they conduct their own research and engage with their Local Enterprise Office Network to help break down the barriers to digital adoption. Encouragingly, the majority of small business owners are already on the right path, with a clear digital strategy in place for their business. With the right supports and guidance available, small enterprises can embrace digital transformation with their arms wide open and strengthen their position within the market in spite of external challenges."

Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.Question: I have a question that may be well suited for a weekend wisdom episode. I'm aware of the reasons that a domestic infant adoption may fail, but I've also read about foster children having failed adoption(s) and then aging out of the system. What are some of the main reasons that a foster child experiences a failed adoption? How does that look different than (or the same as) a failed domestic infant adoption?

Is Superman Woke—or Just Wonderfully Human? Can a superhero cut through the world's chaos better than a political debate or another sermon? New York Times columnist David French and Christianity Today editor-in-chief Russell Moore explore why Superman still strikes a cultural nerve—especially in the age of outrage and “wokeness” debates. From his immigrant origins to the often-overlooked theme of adoption, they unpack how James Gunn's 2025 reboot revives timeless questions about identity, belonging, moral courage, and kindness. This conversation is more than capes and kryptonite—it's a surprising, thoughtful, and even fun look at the stories shaping who we are.

How do you drive meaningful AI transformation across 150 software engineers without mandates or force? Peter Gostev, Head of AI at Moonpig, reveals the technical strategies and organizational approaches behind scaling AI adoption from 130 to 400+ users while navigating the gap between industry hype and implementation reality. From managing complex integration challenges where 80% of AI projects involve traditional software engineering to implementing three-pillar strategies (tool adoption, automation workflows, experimental features), Peter shares hard-earned insights on building AI capabilities through process re-engineering rather than simple automation. Technical insights for CTOs and engineering leaders: •
Michael Day of GoTo joins Technology Reseller News to explore global AI adoption gaps—and what it means for partners “Digital transformation digitized yesterday's work. AI has the potential to change tomorrow's possibilities.” — Michael Day, GoTo Michael Day In this episode of Technology Reseller News, publisher Doug Green speaks with Michael Day of GoTo about the company's 2025 Pulse of Work survey—an in-depth, global analysis of AI adoption and sentiment across today's workforce. Developed in partnership with Workplace Intelligence, the study draws from 2,500 responses across roles and regions to illuminate a growing divide between the promise of AI and its practical implementation. While IT leaders have been quick to source and deploy AI tools, the survey finds that most employees continue to rely on free, consumer-facing tools—with 62% saying AI feels overhyped, and only 21% of organizations having clear implementation strategies. This misalignment is further complicated by generational gaps, security concerns, and a lack of training—despite 87% agreeing that more enablement is needed. Day emphasizes that a key to closing the divide lies in developing an “AI mindset”—where organizations go beyond procurement and commit to cultural transformation. The data suggests that effective AI adoption could unlock up to $2.9 trillion in productivity gains across U.S. knowledge workers alone. Importantly, Day sees this as a moment of opportunity for technology resellers and channel partners: both to guide customers in AI adoption and to implement these tools internally to increase their own service value. One standout GoTo innovation is the AI Receptionist, a purpose-built solution designed to automate call handling while maintaining human escalation safeguards—a model of practical AI in action.
