Are SPAC-fed space companies headed for a disaster? SPACs have been a dynamic and transformative funding vehicle. An innovation say many. But commercial space may not be the right place for them, or a perfect one. In February's New York Space Business Roundtable, we ask the questions: Is an IPO the right model for a space company? Can any space company scale fast enough to satisfy most SPACs when we are talking light years and not next year? The NY Space Business Roundtable takes an objective look at the economic viability of companies fueled by SPAC financing and asks if they are destined to flop or a sustainable way to go? This podcast is based on the February 16 edition of the New York Space Business Roundtable. Hosted by NYSA's Joseph Fargnoli and SSPI's Louis Zacharilla, the podcast's speakers include: Phil Friedman, Senior Advisor, Perella Weinberg Partners Steven Kaufman, Partner, Hogan Lovells LLP Claude Rousseau, Research Director, Northern Sky Research Sita Sonty, Partner & Associate Director, Aerospace & Defense, Boston Consulting Group

Pat Hindle, Microwave Journal Media Director, and guest co-host Yasmine King, GM of Aerospace & Defense at ADI, discuss the Feb Satellite and Radio Communications themed issue articles, LEO and hypersonic missile news and market trends, 5G news, and upcoming events. Sponsored by RFMW.

Automotive Insiders is presented by OESA, the Original Equipment Suppliers Association. Industry experts discuss Automotive hot topics to keep the Automotive Supplier Community up to date on the fast-changing mobility landscape. From post-pandemic manufacturing restart planning and worker safety measures, to legal issues and supply chain disruptions, Automotive Insiders is your source of timely and relevant content. Host Bonnie D. Graham welcomes Tom Madonna, Industry Executive Advisor for Automotive at SAP, and Bill Veltri, MBA, an IBM Associate Partner and SAP Leader for the Automotive, Aerospace & Defense industries with particular focus on Automotive OEMs, Distributors, Suppliers, and Dealers. Tom Madonna and Bill Veltri discuss how Automotive is at a once-in-100-years inflection point, with the industry moving into new methods of transacting and new business models that will enable improved customer engagement and provide access to the power of data. “Digital Vehicle Hub/Vehicle Management System is a new container for supporting those models.” Bill observes, “When thinking about the Automotive industry, the Distributors and Dealers are often overlooked, as most people focus on the manufacturing and supply chain processes. Moving vehicles from the manufacturing locations to the distributors, accessorizing those vehicles, and moving them to the right dealers is an important part of the vehicle supply chain.” OEMs, Dealerships, and Retailers need new ways of communication and passing information back-and-forth to support customers. Tom poses this top-of-mind question, “How much data is needed or wanted, and who owns that data?” Listen on-demand to hear the full conversation with Tom Madonna and Bill Veltri.

We are now living the new normal.....And that normal is a mostly remote workforce, work/life/self balance and a heavy reliance on technology to lead the business. It is not about keeping what you have but changing who you are to adapt your business to the new world. Companies who will thrive are those who are embracing the change and committing to disrupting their own business. Not holding on to what was. Today is all about embracing the opportunity that has been given to us during this pandemic. “We are never going back to normal. Too much has been exposed in the inefficiencies of expensive office buildings, amenities, drive time and personal time.” - Rod Trujillo Our guest today: Rod Trujillo, Founder & CEO of International Rubber Products  A company founded in 1999 with the sale of all personal assets including savings and retirement accounts.  IRPG is comprised of three distinct facilities in Southern California focused on the Medical Device industry, Aerospace/Defense industry and the Coating and Laminating industry.  The cornerstone and key component of our success as a business is the principal that regardless of macro and microeconomic changes, the company will be run as a God honoring business that seeks to bless everyone it encounters. As a result, IRPG has been adding 25-40 employees annually the past five years and has an annual five-year compounded annual growth rate of 23%.   Today we discuss: Why this forced change is a blessing to your business Where to focus How to implement change Why the change is a good thing? Efficiency! We are not as efficient as we think we are… but more is getting done under the current environment and the company is more productive… we are finding that you don't need as many people… realizing how inefficient they have been Realization People like coming to work and appear to be more social than we thought. Along with technology we are able to touch each employee daily and track projects which we are seeing projects getting done much faster.  Question Assess what you really need? Now that people are isolated, you really start to see how productive people can be especially when you add a little fear of the economy as well as being confined to the home.   Where do we need to focus?  figure out the technology tools and track productivity. Realize we weren't managing efficiently and were over staffed.  Understand you can do more with less Realize that the office has really been used for social interaction easier to manage people through the lock down than it was   Rick’s Input Deep evaluation into what the business REALLY needs Upgrade in Performance mentality  How do we get ahead of the curve and thrive Now?  Pro-activity Get ahead of what is being shown. Be proactive and being to embrace the video conferencing technology along with project and daily touching of employees.  Encourage this change to make the workforce more healthy by having a workout as part of the daily routine for attendance etc. Establish benchmarks and data everyone can become excited about.  Tools Using Zoom- and other technologies we are improving with has really changed how we think about our administration moving forward post covid-19. Data Read up to get ahead of the curve. Gobs of information.  Transparency and pro-activity  Do more with less while selling a new vision of a healthier work balance experience driven by results and care for each employee.  Rick’s Nuggets Zoom for Interviewing Invest in educational growth (self & company) Key Takeaways: The rapid changes in hiring, retention and adjusting to a new normal. Being forced to home quarantine has shown the inefficiencies with our administration systems as well as management of personnel.   We need less and can do more. Corporate offices with amenities are monies that should be invested in the workforce and technology.  Eliminating an hour of commuting while people are more efficient without the social interruptions make the execution of projects more robust.    Adding by our estimation a minimum of ten hours a week to either personal time or work time. (AVG drive 5 hours, 5 hours of social interaction) 

ESG funds, stocks, outperforming their ‘conventional’ counterparts in markets’ downturn. Several analysts believe now is a good time to buy these stocks and funds. See which ones they recommend! Investors should also consider artificial intelligence and infrastructure stocks too. With companies reducing or eliminating dividends, one dividend-paying socially responsible stock comes highly regarded. And More PODCAST: ESG Funds, Stocks. Opportunities in Downturn. Transcript & Links, Episode 29, April 10, 2020 Hello, Ron Robins here. Welcome to podcast episode 29 for April 10, 2020, titled “ESG Funds, Stocks. Opportunities in Downturn.”—presented by Investing for the Soul. investingforthesoul.com is your site for vital global ethical and sustainable investing news, commentary, information, and resources. Remember that you can find a full transcript, links to content – including stock symbols – and bonus material at this episode’s podcast page located at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. And, Google any terms that are unfamiliar to you. Now with the recent market turnaround, many investors are feeling a sense of relief and thinking beyond the COVID-19 turmoil! With that in mind, the analysts’ research I’m reporting on now might be of interest to you. ------------------------------------------------------------- 1) ESG Funds, Stocks. Opportunities in Downturn. So, let’s start with the first research comment that illustrates again the ESG funds, stocks, opportunities in this downturn. This comment is titled ESG ETFs Appear Unscathed by the Coronavirus Carnage by Zacks analyst Sanghamitra Saha. She writes that” Wall Street just recorded the worst quarter since the fourth quarter of 2008. But ESG ETFs appeared somewhat resilient to the acute selloffs.” End quote. Ms. Saha cites the following ESG ETFs as having gained significant assets during the sell-off. They are: Global X Conscious Companies ETF (KRMA). Quote “Its top holdings are Regeneron, Clorox, Biogen, Newmont, Netflix and Amazon.” End quote. Next is SP Funds S&P 500 Sharia Industry Exclusions ETF (SPUS). Quote “The underlying S&P 500 Sharia Industry Exclusions Index comprises the constituents of the S&P 500 Sharia Index other than those from the following sub-industries: Aerospace & Defense, Financial Exchanges & Data, and Data Processing & Outsourced Services…” End quote. Finally, the Nuveen ESG Mid-Cap Growth ETF (NUMG). Again, quoting her she says that “It uses a rules-based methodology that provides investment exposure that generally replicates that of mid-cap growth benchmarks through a portfolio of securities that adhere to predetermined ESG, controversial business involvement and low-carbon screening criteria.” End quote. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2) ESG Funds, Stocks. Opportunities in Downturn. Now a post for those ethical and sustainable investors wishing to get back into the markets with individual stocks. Ian Jenkins has written an article titled 6 Stocks Cashing In On The $30 Trillion Impact Investing Trend that appears on the oilprice.com site. Here are his six picks. Now I’m just going to name the company and then follow it with a short quote by Mr. Jenkins on that company. Alphabet (GOOGL). “Is a shining star in the tech world. Despite being one of the largest companies on the planet, in many ways it has lived up to its original ‘Don’t Be Evil’ slogan.” Facedrive Inc. (FD.V). “For the first time in ride-sharing history, Facedrive is giving customers a choice to be more environmentally conscious. That’s because it’s utilizing new technology to calculate the estimated CO2 emissions for each ride and allocating a portion of the proceeds accordingly to local organizations to help offset those emissions.” Apple Inc. (AAPL). “Not only have they decreased their average product’s energy use by 70 percent… They’ve reduced their total carbon footprint by more than 35 percent in just a few short years…” Microsoft Inc. (MSFT). “It’s pushing so hard that it is aiming to be carbon NEGATIVE by 2030. That’s a huge pledge. And if anyone can do it, it’s Microsoft.” NextEra Energy (NEE). “[The] world’s leading producer of wind and solar energy… By 2025, the company aims to reduce their own emissions by 67 percent while doubling their electricity production from a 2005 benchmark.” Lastly, Total (TOT). “One of the world’s largest oil and gas companies… Through its subsidiaries and new investments, Total is making major waves in the ‘green revolution.’” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3) ESG Funds, Stocks. Opportunities in Downturn. Do you favour tech stocks like most ethical and sustainable investors? Then you might want to see the recommendations of Billy Duberstein. His article is titled 3 Top Artificial Intelligence Stocks to Buy in April and appeared on The Motley Fool site. Here are the stocks he recommends with each followed by a quote from him. Lam Research (NASDAQ: LRCX). “Makes the machines that allow chipmakers to produce smaller, more powerful chips.” Alteryx (NYSE: AYX). “Its main product is an end-to-end, comprehensive software suite, which allows both data scientists and non-data scientists to work together building and deploying machine learning algorithms.” Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU). “Micron's product portfolio will be essential to future artificial intelligence applications, which will require lots and lots of DRAM memory and NAND flash storage. In addition to these products, Micron is also one of only two companies to have 3D Xpoint, a new kind of non-volatile memory that is faster than NAND, though also more expensive. Micron is the only company to have all three technologies.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 4) ESG Funds, Stocks. Opportunities in Downturn. It appears that the next big US fiscal stimulus plan may involve huge spending on infrastructure. Due to this many investors are looking for companies engaged in that sector to buy into. In her post on the Motley Fool site, Neha Chamaria writes about 3 Top Infrastructure Stocks to Watch in April. They are – and again followed by a quote from her on each company. Nucor (NYSE: NUE). “Nucor is North America's largest manufacturer and supplier of critical infrastructure steel and steel products.” Vulcan Materials (NYSE: VMC). “Vulcan is the nation's largest manufacturer of construction aggregates, primarily crushed stone, gravel, and sand, as well as a major producer of asphalt and concrete.” Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT). “If infrastructure spending picks up, Caterpillar should be a leading indicator as the world's largest construction-and-mining equipment manufacturer.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 5) ESG Funds, Stocks. Opportunities in Downturn. Ms. Chamaria has also written a post titled 3 Top Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy in April, also on the Motley Fool site. So, following the same format as previously, I’ll say the company followed by a quote from her. NextEra Energy Partners (NYSE: NEP). “NextEra Energy Partners was formed in 2014, when NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE) spun-off its solar and wind energy projects to form an exclusive clean-energy focused limited partnership.” Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE: BEP). “One of the best diversified renewable energy stocks you can find. While NextEra Energy Partners is focused on wind and solar, Brookfield Renewable specializes in hydropower, or the generation of electricity from water streams.” TPI Composites (NASDAQ: TPIC). “The world's largest independent composite wind-blade manufacturer.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 6) ESG Funds, Stocks. Opportunities in Downturn. With this downturn, many investors are finding that dividends they’d become used to from stocks are being cut or even eliminated. Thus, those looking for dividends to provide income has become a real concern! Now, this might be helpful to you in that regard. BNK Invest has published an article titled FirstEnergy a Top Socially Responsible Dividend Stock With 3.9% Yield (FE). They write that “FirstEnergy Corp (FE) has been named a Top Socially Responsible Dividend Stock by Dividend Channel, signifying a stock with above-average ‘DividendRank’ statistics including a strong 3.9% yield, as well as being recognized by prominent asset managers as being a socially responsible investment, through analysis of social and environmental criteria.” End quote. ------------------------------------------------------------- 7) ESG Funds, Stocks. Opportunities in Downturn. Tom Lydon of ETF Trends is making the case for green bonds at this juncture. In a post titled Going Green With Bonds Is a Winning Idea he recommends the VanEck Vectors Green Bond ETF (NYSEArca: GRNB). He writes that “The VanEck Vectors Green Bond ETF tracks the S&P Green Bond Select Index, which is ‘comprised of labeled green bonds that are issued to finance environmentally friendly projects, and includes bonds issued by the supranational, government, and corporate issuers globally in multiple currencies,’ according to VanEck.” End quote. Here's another interesting item from his article. Mr. Lydon quotes Thomas Wacker, head of credit at UBS Global Wealth and reported in Bloomberg reports as saying that “Sustainable bonds are a ‘defensive opportunity’ that credit investors should favor over non-green, investment-grade corporate notes,’” End quote. ------------------------------------------------------------- End Comment Well, these are my top news stories and tips for ethical and sustainable investors over the past two weeks.

On this episode Robert chats with Jean-Louis Rassineaux, Deloitte France’s Aerospace & Defense sector leader, on the complexities and scale of manufacturing aircrafts, which may only be rivaled by the manufacturing of submarines. They discuss how connective technologies like IoT are helping collect and analyze data to better track parts, anticipate and schedule maintenance, and source materials. They also explore how technologies are changing the airport experience and when we might really expect to see flying taxis.  

You might not think that St. Louis is a hotbed for Private Equity. You’d be wrong. I tracked down Stacy Shlenk. She heads up talent acquisition & onboarding for HBM Holdings, which acquires, builds, and operates middle-market businesses. HBM acquires majority positions in product-centric companies in Aerospace & Defense, Environmental, Medical Devices & Instruments, and Packaging. Its middle-market specialty manufacturing businesses generate $50M to $400M in annual revenue and together employ 2,000 people. Stacy leads due diligence & talent development for HBM and its portfolio companies. In this 20-minute conversation, she reveals the common mistakes that business leaders make in hiring & building teams. And how you can do it the right way… even if you’re not in Manufacturing.

Why you have to check out today’s podcast:   Find out about Model N’s pricing software, how it works and how it differs from other pricing vendors  Understanding the different channels High Tech industries go through and how this affects pricing and value setting  How does price execution play a big part in the price optimization    Chanan Greenberg is a seasoned executive with 25 years of experience in front line leadership roles. He helped build companies from pre-revenue to successful IPO, lead acquisitions, held 2 CEO entrepreneur positions in companies selling to Government IT-Outsourcing Contractors, Service Providers, Aerospace & Defense, Telecommunication, High-Tech, and Multimedia Distributors. He led the first evangelical sales into Fortune 500 companies overcoming resistance to change and fear of working with early-stage companies. Nurtured C-level personal relationships with customers, partners, and investors.   In this episode, Chanan discusses revenue management and what Model N does that differentiates it from other pricing companies.    “If you believe in the value of your product and your differentiation and the reason that you exist, don’t be subservient to the rest of the value chain.”   – Chanan Greenberg     Get Accelerate Your Subscription Business: Your Blueprint to Packaging & Pricing for Growth Course at https://www.championsofvalue.com       Topics Covered:    03:07 – How did he end up in Pricing  04:27 – What industries does High Tech cover  05:37 – The many problem scenarios High Tech help solve  11:49 – How big are the companies that Model N serves  14:51 – Understanding your end customer and why you need to legitimately ask to determine your pricing  17:34 – Difference between Model N’s pricing software and other Pricing companies  23:18 – The importance of having clean data  24:38 – One important pricing advice he has    Key Takeaways:  “Stop thinking about pricing in silos. Pricing has a waterfall that continues well beyond that. It continues into how are you going to do discounting into the channel, whether it’s the ship and debit process or whether you’re paying out a rebate, whether you’re paying out price protection on the inventory that is out there. All these things at the end of the day, bring down that waterfall to its final net results and pricing doesn’t end with optimization. It doesn’t end with analytics and it doesn’t end with the based on the execution of a price and the close of a contract. It continues operating, and unless you can really bring these things into a single continuum, you are invariably going to leave money on the table without any doubt.” – Chanan Greenberg  “If you’re working through channels and you want to understand who is the end customer, what are they willing to pay to determine how much you’re willing to discount, that’s a legitimate ask.” – Chanan Greenberg  “Never assume that you can make up on bad business by scaling the volume. Because bad business is bad business, whether it’s big work or small.” – Chanan Greenberg    “If you have good price execution in place, whether it’s a Model N or a different solution, then bringing in a solution that can help you do the micro-segmentation, try and change the curves of your product lines to adapt to specific market dynamics that you may have in different end markets or different territories, I think definitely has a creative value.” – Chanan Greenberg    “You really need to stick to good price execution because what I’ve found in many companies is they think it’s like a magic formula. You implement it, you did it, and now it just supposed to continue spewing out great pricing for you when in fact you have to keep on feeding that beast every quarter.” – Chanan Greenberg     Connect with Chanan Greenberg:  https://www.modeln.com/  LinkedIn   Twitter    Connect with Mark Stiving:     Email: mark@impactpricing.com LinkedIn Twitter https://www.championsofvalue.com
