Interview by Ali WilliamsSome bands talk about changing the world. Others actually try to rewire the power source. When HEAVY's Ali Williams caught up with Lime Cordiale's Ollie Leimbach, he was literally on the floor, charging his laptop somewhere five hours north of Sydney. Very rock 'n' roll. Very Northern Rivers. Very “I may or may not be barefoot and slightly stinky.” Which, frankly, checks out. Between laughs about weather patterns and mild coastal smugness, Ollie casually dropped the fact that Lime Cordiale are putting the finishing touches on album number four . Not that they're rushing it. “We're not a three-week studio band,” he admits. This one's only taken about a year. Growth. Maturity. Slightly less agonising perfectionism. But the real headline here isn't just new music. It's Lime Green Festival, their upcoming off-grid, battery-powered, 5,000-capacity experiment-slash-party happening April 18 off the coast of Adelaide . Yes, battery powered. As in, no diesel generators chugging away backstage. As in, the band is fully prepared to risk a blackout mid-set in the name of progress. Bold. Slightly terrifying. Excellent content. The Lime Green concept was born out of a crisis of conscience. During COVID, the band were working on a farm on the Mid-North Coast, diving into regenerative agriculture and learning how to reduce their footprint. Then touring came back. Planes. Diesel buses. Global laps. Cue existential whiplash. Rather than retreat into eco-guilt or write twelve reggae protest songs (no dreadlocks involved, he promises), Lime Cordiale decided to tackle the industry from within. Their approach is refreshingly non-preachy. No finger wagging. No “stop living your life.” Just practical shifts. They've trialled biodiesel buses in Europe, slashing touring emissions by around 98 percent. They've put a dollar from every ticket toward environmental causes they genuinely connect with. In Adelaide, that means supporting awareness around the current algal bloom crisis devastating local waters . Dead fish, stinging water, beaches people can't swim in. Not exactly tourism brochure material. The Lime Green Festival, though, is the big swing. Fully off-grid. Fully battery-powered. A case study in proving that you can run a major event without defaulting to fossil fuel generators. The battery companies are confident. The production crews are cautious. Ollie seems almost excited about the possibility of chaos. “If there is a blackout halfway through, that's part of the journey,” he shrugs . That's the spirit. Punk rock, but with renewable infrastructure. The lineup includes The Dreggs alongside Adelaide locals Alexia, Pash, and a Triple J Unearthed winner . Capacity sits at 5,000, which would make it Australia's largest fully battery-powered festival to date . Casual. Beyond the headline tech flex, Lime Green will feature practical green initiatives: better waste sorting, encouragement to bring reusable bottles, conscious messaging. Not exactly radical ideas, but when you've ever seen a post-gig floor that looks like a plastic tornado hit a bar fridge, you understand why it matters. Throughout the chat, Ollie keeps circling back to one core idea: don't shame people into change. Don't demand everyone bin their petrol cars tomorrow. Replace things when they break. Upgrade when it makes sense. Let progress feel possible, not punitive. It's a refreshingly pragmatic take in a space that often devolves into moral Olympics. At the end of the day, Lime Green will still be what everyone actually shows up for: good music, a crowd, and a reason to forget your inbox for a few hours. The difference is that it might also quietly prove that the industry can do better without killing the vibe. Album number four is brewing. The future might be battery powered. And if the lights flicker mid-chorus on April 18, at least you'll know you're witnessing a social experiment in real time.

David Golay shares why he hasn't jived with any of the eMTBs he's ridden so far, and if the new light-assist bikes from Orbea and Norco he's been spending time on might have a chance of changing his mind. Simon, on the other hand, is a big fan of eMTBs, regardless of whether they have a full-power or light-assist drive system, and has a couple of full-power beauties from Pivot and Norco to talk about. And to avoid a whole episode on bikes with motors, they throw the Atherton A.150.M in the mix, too.Note: We Want to Hear From You!Please let us know if there's a topic you'd like us to cover or a guest you'd like us to have on Bikes and Big Ideas.

Taglit-Birthright Israel was founded just over 25 years ago, with the aim of strengthening Jewish identity among young adults through a 10-day, free of charge trip to Israel. The program has brought over 900,000 young adults from 70 countries to Israel. The ambitious program began as a grand solution to solve a crisis of Jewish continuity and unity as the world entered the new millennium, spearheaded by Canadian Jewish philanthropist Charles Bronfman and American Michael Steinhardt, but required the mustering of global Jewish communal resources. Last week, Bronfman, along with Jeffrey R. Solomon, the past CEO of the Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies, wrote an op-ed for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, titled "We backed Birthright. Now it's time for more big ideas for a post-Oct. 7 world” where they called for the next big idea to address the next big Jewish challenges. On today's episode of Not in Heaven, our rabbi podcasters, offer their perspectives of the Birthright Israel program and suggest what should come next.

So it kind of got me thinking, what big idea? Do I have a big idea that could impact society positively? I kind of think this podcast network, along with radio, can have a big impact. Maybe not on the entire Earth, or the entire universe, but maybe in the entire state. Maybe in a slice of the world, connected by the internet. I think it can make a difference. And I don't think it would take 100 million pounds or dollars to do that. There's that. I've also been reading about all the headaches that come with this wealth. Initially, I thought, well, it's really just going to make things a lot easier because you always have enough money.   Read the full post at http://RunningAFEVER.com/443

That is really where the healthcare ecosystem lives—we fail more often than not when we're not collaborative." "A nurse is not just a nurse. Even moving from one ICU to another, there is a learning curve. We need to understand transferable skills to help people function safely and grow over time."

This exploration of Romans 9 tackles the profound tension between God's sovereignty and human responsibility. Through Pharaoh and Moses, we see a difficult truth: God hardened Pharaoh's heart, yet gave him ten chances to choose differently. This isn't about unfairness; it's about a God who is just by His standards, not ours. Like clay in the Potter's hands, we are crafted for His purposes. Most strikingly, we see God's mercy—from clothing Adam and Eve to protecting Cain. His patience is intended to lead us to repentance, proving we are never too far gone.---## **SERMON NOTES: Romans 9 – Sovereignty & Mercy**### **1. The Big Idea**God is absolutely sovereign and unimaginably merciful. His sovereignty does not erase our choices; He repeatedly offers mercy and calls us to respond.### **2. Pharaoh's Hardened Heart (Exodus 7–12)*** **The Tension:** Romans 9:15–18 says God hardens whom He wills, yet Exodus shows Pharaoh hardening his own heart.* **The Reality:** God gave Pharaoh 10 real opportunities to obey. Pharaoh's repeated refusal led to Egypt's devastation, proving God's purposes never fail.### **3. Sovereignty & Responsibility*** **The Potter & Clay:** Romans 9:19–21 explains that the Potter has the right to shape vessels for different purposes.* **Justice vs. Fairness:** God is not "fair" by human standards; He is just. He owes mercy to no one; when He gives it, it is pure grace.* **Patience:** He endures "vessels of wrath" with great patience to make His glory known to "vessels of mercy" (Rom. 9:22–24).### **4. OT Pictures of Mercy*** **Cain (Gen. 4):** Despite murder and defiance, God spared Cain and marked him for protection.* **Adam & Eve (Gen. 2–3):** God didn't strike them dead instantly. He sacrificed animals to cover them, acting for their ultimate good even in judgment.### **5. Identity as Clay*** **Unique Design:** You are shaped for His purposes, not mass-produced for comparison (Isa. 64:8).* **Divine Empowerment:** Philippians 2:13 reminds us that God gives us both the *desire* and the *power* to please Him.### **6. The Two Sons (Luke 15)*** **The Prodigal:** Wastes everything but is restored to sonship, not just servanthood.* **The Older Brother:** Resentful and entitled. He refuses to celebrate his brother's return.* **The Call:** God's mercy calls both the rebellious and the self-righteous home.---## **PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS**1. **Respond Now:** Don't presume on God's patience. Repent before hardness sets in.2. **Rest in Sovereignty:** Release the illusion of control. Pray: "Your will, not mine."3. **Stop Comparing:** Embrace your design as clay in the Potter's hands.4. **Check Your Heart:** Reject "Older Brother" resentment when others are blessed.5. **Come Home:** If you've wandered, return. God restores you fully.---## **DISCUSSION QUESTIONS**1. How do you see both God's sovereignty and Pharaoh's responsibility in Exodus?2. Where have you experienced God's patience while you were resisting Him?3. In what area are you tempted to demand "fairness" from God instead of trusting His justice?4. Do you relate more to the prodigal or the older brother right now?5. What practical step of repentance do you need to take today?6. How does being "clay" change how you view your current limitations?

We dig into talent gaps, the idea of "everboarding" (not just onboarding), strategic sales planning, and why too many teams limit their potential by focusing on how far they think they can climb instead of asking, "How big is the mountain?" Dennis also recently launched his own podcast, Think Big. Win Bigger. — and I had the privilege of being his guest on the inaugural episode. You'll want to check that out as well. Guaranteed you walk away with  a handful of BIG IDEAS after listening to (or watching) our dialogue! Enjoy this powerful conversation with one of the most strategic and driven sales leaders I know.   This episode is sponsored by Pursuit Sales Solutions.

Ludovic Leroux, coach et expert en régulation du système nerveux.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de la différence cruciale entre savoir et intégrer. J'ai questionné Ludovic sur les chemins concrets d'incarnation du développement personnel, en partant de sa vision de sportif : pourquoi est-ce que tant de gens connaissent les outils… sans jamais les utiliser ?Il explique avec clarté et bienveillance les 4 voies d'accès au système nerveux, en montrant que le retour au calme et à la présence n'est pas un luxe spirituel, mais une hygiène quotidienne, aussi concrète que de se brosser les dents.Un moment fort, dense et utile — à écouter, et surtout à pratiquer.Citations marquantes« La vraie question, ce n'est pas “est-ce que tu sais ?”, mais “est-ce que tu le fais ?” »« Utiliser la respiration seulement quand ça ne va pas, c'est comme s'entraîner la veille d'une compétition. »« Notre système nerveux ne fait pas la différence entre le réel et l'imaginaire. »« Trois soupirs intentionnels suffisent parfois à retrouver un état de calme. »« La douche froide, c'est une agression choisie pour reprendre le contrôle. »Idées centrales discutées (Big Ideas)

I believe we need compelling visions of life after the current horror is over. What if we loved our children? How would things be different? Here's my 2011 conversation with DAVID KIRP about his book, KIDS FIRST: Five Big Ideas for Transforming Children's Lives and America's Future. These innovative programs have all been tried. They work and they deserve to be invested in and expanded nationally. I believe they could change so many things - for children, families, communities, and could even soften our political divisions.

The intersection of silence and sovereignty is revealed in Luke 1:1-25. Pastor Jordan Hansen shares a message at Christian Life Center regarding seasons of waiting and the faithfulness of God. Obedience defines success, even when fruitfulness is not immediately visible. The story of Zachariah and Elizabeth illustrates a God who hears prayers and remains in control during periods of silence. Faith provides an anchor in times of uncertainty.   Pastor: Jordan Hansen Series: The Gospel Of Luke: Spirit Led Jesus Title: Silence and Sovereignty (Luke 1:1-25) Date: 2026.02.07+08   LINKS:

As long as there has been music, the form has been used as a vehicle for storytelling. Artists who have something to say often find that putting it into music is the ideal means of communicating thoughts and feelings to others. And the concept-album form is a logical extension of that storytelling impulse, often writ large. It allows the writer to tackle bigger themes, more involved story lines, more finely textured characters and ideas. In the pages of What's the Big Idea? (Hozac, 2025), author Bill Kopp explores 30 remarkable concept albums, drawing on new, firsthand interviews with the artists behind their creation. Author of the critically acclaimed Disturbing the Peace, Kopp turns us down the darkest road of musical blind-spots yet, the concept album, a previously shunned genre, now worthy of your curiosity. And then you hear something like Ogden's Nut Gone Flake, and The Turtles Present Battle of the Bands, or S.F. Sorrow, and you're really second-guessing yourself now, right? As it turns out, there's something genuinely interesting about this “concept” in itself, and it lends us a look into a world when musical creativity really had been unleashed in its full glory. Yes, those extravagances produced much audio garbage, but very few people even get that chance anymore, despite the ease of home recording. Even Captain Sensible and The Church committed this ‘big ideas' into noteworthy efforts, along with Hawkwind, William Shatner, Ghostface Killa, and of course, Pete Townshend, who graciously offers an exclusive interview here.

Forgiveness is one of the most beautiful commands in Scripture — and one of the hardest to live out. In this message, we walk through Genesis 42–45 and discover how Joseph models biblical forgiveness, wise discernment, and God‑honoring restoration.This sermon explores how forgiveness can be present in the heart long before trust is restored in a relationship. Joseph shows us that forgiveness is not pretending sin didn't happen, not ignoring patterns of harm, and not rushing reconciliation. Instead, it is choosing mercy while discerning whether repentance and transformation are truly present.If you've ever struggled with forgiveness, trust, or healing from past wounds, this message will speak deeply to your heart. Key ScripturesGenesis 42–45 — Joseph tests his brothersRomans 8:28 — God works all things for goodLuke 6:27–36 — Love your enemiesRomans 12:17–21 — Overcome evil with good

Latter-day Saints consider ours to be a non-credal religion, yet nearly all our Articles of Faith begin with the phrase, "We believe...." We're asked questions about our specific beliefs in official interviews where our temple worthiness is dependent on the answers. But what happens when one's beliefs shift over the course of time? How much does subscribing to a specific set of theological convictions matter when it comes to individual members' lives and relationships? In Episode 249, Cynthia and Susan kick off a season of conversations about big ideas by discussing one of the biggest: Belief.

Author Bill Kopp returns to the podcast to discuss his latest book, What's the Big Idea: 30 Great Concept Albums. The great thing about Bill's writing is that he often shines a light on music that is underappreciated. These 30 albums aren't the obvious ones, but completely worthy creations that deserve a spot in your collection. We also get into why artists choose to make them, whether they're fun or work, why they're often long, and what went into him selecting these particular options. Bill was on a couple years ago to discuss his book on San Francisco's 415 record label. We love him around here.

What do trailers, legendary movie posters, streaming era strategy, and a deep love for theatrical storytelling have in common? This week on Trailer Geeks & Teaser Gods, Corey is joined by Debi Struzan and Dana Flowers-Mitchell for a deeply personal conversation about careers shaped by creativity, collaboration, and conviction. From Debi's early days at Seiniger Advertising and her connection to the iconic Drew Struzan legacy, to Dana's journey from agency producer to studio and streaming executive, the conversation traces how great entertainment marketing is built at the intersection of story, trust, and human connection. Together, Debi and Dana reflect on mentorship, studio versus agency life, the evolution of theatrical and streaming windows, and what still matters most when crafting campaigns that resonate. Along the way, the discussion touches on everything from horror trailers and prestige dramas to boxing workouts, late night calls, and why picking up the phone still matters. Key Takeaways From Agency to Studio and Back Again Both guests share how starting on the agency side shaped the way they later partnered with creative teams once they moved into studio and streaming roles, fostering deeper empathy and stronger collaboration. The Legacy of Drew Struzan Debi reflects on the influence of her father-in-law, legendary illustrator Drew Struzan, and the enduring impact of handcrafted movie poster art in a rapidly changing industry. Why Relationships Still Win Dana and Debi emphasize that despite new tools, platforms, and pressures, strong relationships and direct communication remain essential to solving creative problems and building trust. Theatrical Is Not Dead The conversation challenges the idea that movie theaters are fading, pointing instead to evolving audience behaviors and the continued power of shared cinematic experiences. Creativity in an Era of Change From AI anxiety to shrinking budgets, the discussion explores how agencies and creatives can adapt while protecting the core value of original ideas and emotional storytelling. Notable Quotes "People still want to be moved together in a room. Theatrical is not dying. It's evolving." "You can solve a lot of problems just by picking up the phone." "The big idea still matters. Tools can change, but concept is everything."
