America needs more power. Data centers are accelerating demand, utilities are planning billions of dollars in new infrastructure, and households will ultimately help pay for much of it.But what if we invested some of that money in the households themselves?Ari Matusiak, co-founder and CEO of Rewiring America, makes the case that homes can become a meaningful part of America's energy infrastructure—and that households should be compensated for the value they provide to the grid.In this wide-ranging conversation, Ari and Nico explore the rise of Homegrown Energy, why the old equilibrium between utilities and customers is breaking down, how hyperscalers could help fund household energy upgrades, and where regulators and utilities are already testing what's possible.They also get into the harder question underneath all of it: who gets to participate in the value created as we build out the grid?For Ari, the opportunity is bigger than electrification. If households can provide real value to the grid, the question becomes whether we continue treating them primarily as customers, or start investing in them as part of the solution.That could create a very different deal: more capacity for a power-hungry economy, more flexibility for the grid, and tangible value flowing back to the households helping make it possible.Are there other technologies you've scouted on the frontlines of the Clean Energy Revolution that you think we should be covering here on SunCast?Hit us up - team@suncast.me with your feedback & recommendations.If you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to their contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://suncast.media/episodes/.Our Platinum Presenting Sponsor for SunCast is CPS America!You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.suncast.media/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 950 other founder stories and startup advice at www.suncast.media.We'd love if you'd leave us a 5 ⭐ rating & review and it's never been easier: https://www.ratethispodcast.com/suncastSubscribe to Valence, our weekly LinkedIn Newsletter, and learn the elements of compelling storytelling: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/valence-content-that-connects-7145928995363049472/You can connect with me, Nico Johnson, on:Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/nicomeoLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickalus(00:00) The Fastest Path to Power(00:12) Meet Ari Matusiak, Rewiring America's Founder(03:17) The Thread Behind a Career of Big Problems(09:42) Winning an Affordable Housing Bond in Rhode Island(22:47) Rewiring America and the 42% Emissions Insight(27:06) Reframing Households as Energy Infrastructure(29:57) Why the Grid's Political Economy Just Shifted(41:13) Energy Value vs. Community Benefit Payouts(42:30) Building the Missing Middle Market(48:47) The Slow Start of Homegrown Energy(55:31) Data Centers, Grid Distortion, and Homeowners(1:00:25) Illinois as the First Domino(1:05:23) Answering the Subsidy Critique(1:15:13) Dignity, Shared Winning, and What's Hardest

In this episode of People Solve Problems, Jamie Flinchbaugh steps up to the microphone without a guest to talk about a pattern he keeps seeing in organizations: leaders trying to solve big problems by pulling big levers. Whether the problem shows up first and the lever follows, or the lever is pulled in hopes of solving something, Jamie states the result is usually the same. The connection between cause and effect gets lost. Jamie starts with a distinction that frames the whole episode. Most big problems are not really single problems at all. A budget problem, he explains, is actually a thousand small budget problems: overspending here, under-earning there, all adding up to something that looks like one giant issue. That aggregate is a theme, not a problem, and themes cannot be solved with one sweeping move. Real progress comes from understanding the details underneath. The first big lever Jamie examines is AI, a topic he recently explored in his blog article titled “AI Fragility: Why I'm Not Pro-AI or Anti-AI, but Pro-Thoughtfulness.” He uses AI regularly and never presents its work as his own, but he sees organizations rushing into adoption without a clear problem statement. When he asks what problem an AI strategy is meant to solve, the honest answer is often fear of missing out. He points to Starbucks pulling out an inventory control AI after nine months of building, deploying, and training as an example of what happens when the lever comes before the problem. His counsel is reassuring: it is very hard to be truly left behind, the tools keep improving, and there is plenty of time to catch up. What matters is being specific about what each deployment is meant to accomplish and whether you can evaluate the result. The second lever is organizational design. Jamie offers two truths that apply every time. First, an org change is never the only way to solve a problem; process design, culture and behaviors, or new capabilities can usually address the same issue, and often better. Second, every org design creates new problems. He calls it the shell game: waste gets moved around rather than removed. Solid lines on an org chart do not equal control, and leadership and culture still have to do the real work after the boxes move. The third lever is the return-to-office policy. Jamie describes it as a generic solution to a generically defined problem, usually labeled culture. Bringing people back may make culture easier to observe, but it does not fix it. When employees commute in only to sit through a full day of video meetings, the experience undermines the policy. He points to the book “The Year Without Pants” as an example of a fully remote company that was deliberate about how people spent time together in person. Jamie closes with three questions worth asking before any big lever gets pulled: What problem are you fundamentally trying to solve? Are there other pathways to that result? What new problems will this solution create? The details, he reminds us, are where the work is done and where the results are found.

And, he shares his findings into the “black hole” in Reform's accounts.Is Farage an outlier, or does his case expose deeper flaws in Britain's political funding rules?

Would you download an app where you order your favorite meal, knowing it'll never arrive? A new app in South Korea is designed to give you the dopamine hit of ordering food without the calories, and it sparks a surprisingly heated debate about whether we should import it to the US. Things got even weirder when Vanessa admitted she "pretend-orders" food on delivery apps just for fun. We also heard from short people about the everyday struggles tall people never think about, from getting patted on the head and climbing grocery store shelves to shopping for heels in the kids' section. Ironically, comedian Brad Williams stopped by the studio and answered even more questions about life as a little person. Plus we debut a brand-new game, Is It Younger or Older Than America? You'll be shocked by the ages of things like pianos, bourbon, and Princeton University. And finally, Ally secretly records herself asking her wife for a threesome. The answer isn't exactly what she was hoping for... but she does get permission for a virtual fling, with a few very specific caveats

Late notice to an excess carrier is one of those “small” steps that can explode into a coverage dispute at the worst possible time, like right before mediation or on the eve of trial. We talk through why excess claims notification is getting tougher in today's market and how retail agents can protect their clients and themselves when a claim starts creeping toward the tower.We're joined by CRC Group's claims pros who live this every day: Dave Gilfillian, Chief Claims Officer and leader of Claims Advocacy, Ari Shapiro, Claims Advocacy Director, and Cammie Powell, Senior Claims Coordinator. Together, we unpack what's driving bigger claims, how plaintiff expectations and litigation funding can change the exposure curve, and why excess carriers are more likely to take a hard line on late notice. We also explain the concept of “prejudice,” how state law affects the analysis, and what a reservation of rights letter can signal when notice comes in too late.We also challenge a dangerous assumption: “follow form” does not automatically mean “same rules.” Excess policies often include pages of exceptions, unique notice provisions, and surprises around defense costs and endorsements, especially in complex towers with multiple carriers. Our practical takeaway is straightforward: when the thought pops into your head that excess might be involved, send notice, document it clearly, and keep communication moving so no layer is blindsided.

The biggest tournament in football is finally here!

This week was a little lighter on the host count, as Devon was trapped in the endless gravitational pull of legal work, but Ben and Steven still managed to cover everything from adopted kittens to the future of humanity in space. Real Life Ben started things off with an apology for being a little checked out during the last episode. He was physically present, but mentally running on fumes. Fortunately, life is looking up. The foster kittens are beginning to find homes, which is both exciting and bittersweet. He also took a moment to congratulate all the recent graduates out there before diving into family TV time. The household continues its journey through Star City, and after episode two, Nicole is already predicting where the story is headed. While the series has proven compelling, some mature content, light torture, and strong language have made it a slightly awkward fit for younger viewers. Devon wasn't able to join us this week thanks to an overwhelming amount of lawyering. We assume he is somewhere buried beneath paperwork and legal precedent, emerging only occasionally for coffee. Steven reminisced about a Disney trip he took with Ben years ago before jumping into a discussion of the For All Mankind season finale and what season six might bring. We unpack the strengths and weaknesses of the latest season, revisit the complicated Baldwin and Stevens family connections, and discuss why the Stevens kid is definitely not the mysterious Mars Peacekeeper. The conversation also explores the implications of the show's latest time jump and what it could mean for the future of the series. Steven also finished Gravity Falls with his kids, watching the final five episodes of season two in a single marathon session. Even when the show edged close to becoming a little too intense for younger audiences, it always managed to pull back and deliver an emotional, funny, and surprisingly thoughtful conclusion. Years after it first aired, it remains one of the best family animated series ever produced. Future or Now Ben kicked off the science segment with an ongoing issue aboard the International Space Station. Astronauts were temporarily instructed to shelter while engineers continued monitoring a long-running air leak in the Russian section of the station. The culprit is a small connecting tunnel that has developed microscopic structural cracks over time. Despite years of repairs and investigation, the leak remains one of the ISS's most persistent engineering headaches. The story naturally led into a broader discussion about the future of orbital habitats, including new commercial space stations currently under development and what might eventually replace the aging ISS. Steven brought a much more optimistic story to the table. Researchers at the University of Birmingham have developed a new perovskite-based catalyst that dramatically lowers the temperature required to produce hydrogen from water. The breakthrough could allow industrial facilities to use waste heat that would otherwise be discarded, turning it into a valuable source of clean hydrogen fuel. If the technology scales successfully, it could reduce production costs, improve efficiency, and help make hydrogen a more practical energy source for industries ranging from steel manufacturing to renewable power generation. It's the kind of breakthrough that could quietly reshape entire sectors without most people realizing it until years later. From leaky space stations to cleaner energy, adopted kittens to animated mysteries, this week's episode covers a surprisingly wide range of topics—even with one host missing in action.

If I'm their business coach I encourage them to think differently.Shift from tracking needs to tracking wants.In the world of attraction, wants are more compelling than needs with few exceptions. So instead of thinking about a person's or a group's needs, think instead about their wants – the desire that compels them to action.All people have needs. And as newly trained coaches we have a heightened sense of this.But not all people are seekers — people who do invest in their own personal or professional growth. Seekers are people with urgent WANTS. They want something and they are willing to pay well for help to achieve it.Coaches are seekers. But that's just an example to help you realize what a seeker is about. I don't recommend new coaches target other coaches as clients. It's a much over marketed to audience.You want an audience that helps you stand out in the crowd of coaches and other people trying to attract attention.Rhonda Hess helps new coaches leverage their zone of genius into a profitable coaching niche and launch with confidence.For VIP step-by-step support apply  for Rhonda's VIP Coaching Business Breakthrough Program here and she'll be in touch to invite you a discovery call.Or if you're stuck on your coaching niche, grab a Nail Your Niche Strategy Session with Rhonda here.

What financial numbers should child care owners really be watching each month before small issues turn into big problems? In this episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast, Brian and Carol Duprey kick off a brand-new Ask Brian and Carol series by answering a question so many owners need help with: which financial metrics matter most when it comes to spotting trouble early and protecting profitability.   Tune in to this episode as Brian and Carol walk through the key numbers every owner should be reviewing on a regular basis, including enrollment, full-time equivalent enrollment, tour conversion rates, rolling quarterly profit and loss statements, budget tracking, accounts receivable, payroll hours, subsidy billing, and overall profitability. They explain why looking at trends over time matters far more than reacting to a single month, and they share practical examples of how these numbers can help owners make better decisions before financial stress starts piling up.   Listen in as they break down these concepts in a clear, real-world way that makes financial management feel more doable and less overwhelming. From understanding how part-time care can actually increase revenue when priced properly, to knowing when payroll swings or unpaid tuition should raise red flags, this episode is packed with insight for owners who want to lead with more confidence and control.   Join us for this helpful conversation and learn how strong financial habits can give you a clearer picture of your business and a stronger path forward. Brian and Carol also invite listeners to submit anonymous questions for future episodes, making this a great time to tune in, get support, and be part of the conversation.   Mentioned in this episode: Need help with your child care marketing?

“You are the most God-gifted writer I've ever had,” Tom's college professor told him. However, Tom quit college; his love of farming drew him back to the farm. Thirty years later, Tom picked up the pen again, drawing readers into farming adventures with him. In these exciting and uplifting true stories, he shares his love of farming, family, and God. His unique writing style brings the reader right alongside him and his family as they work on their northern Wisconsin dairy farm. Tom's stories have spread like wildfire from his hometown newspaper to papers across America. Readers tell him, “Please don't quit writing.” Others ask him, “When are you going to make it a book?” Due to popular demand here it is. From quotes like “Dad, I really enjoyed fixing that with you” to “She's a dead cow don't call me anymore,” these engaging stories will keep you turning the pages to read one story, then another. As you do, you will be blessed as so many others have been. Come, read, and enjoy our farm life with us.

In this episode of Talk Dirt To Me, we kick things off with a rant every rural American can relate to, idiots driving on icy roads, avoidable wrecks, and Bobby Lee's road rage when common sense disappears in bad weather. From there, we dig into Rep. Tim Burchett's warnings about the Big 4 meat packers, why consolidation in the beef industry should concern every cattle producer, and our honest thoughts on the NCBA including how heavily they cater to the interests of the Big 4 and what that means for independent ranchers and cow-calf operators. We also break down Deputy USDA Secretary Stephen Vaden calling out Nutrien and Mosaic for alleged fertilizer price manipulation and supply control in the U.S., plus why John Deere is now catching heat in Washington as scrutiny ramps up on corporate power in agriculture. We wrap things up by responding to listener comments and emails, tackling questions and feedback straight from the audience.

Microbes are little alchemists that perform all manner of chemical reactions. A team of microbiologists co-founded a non-profit to try to harness those abilities to solve some of the world's big problems — from carbon capture to helping coral reefs to cleaning up waste. Recently, the team turned their attention to the microbes living in people's homes — on and in shower heads, drip pans, and hot water heaters. These rather extreme environments may have pressured microorganisms into surviving in ways that could be advantageous to humans. Science reporter Ari Daniel takes us on a treasure hunt in miniature.This episode was produced by Hannah Chinn. It was edited by Rebecca Ramirez. Tyler Jones checked the facts. The audio engineer was Robert Rodriguez.Interested in learning more about the weird and wonderful world of microbes?

Every pastor has seen it. Churches splitting hairs over things that don't matter. Beard length. Carpet color. Playground equipment. These disputes may sound absurd, but they reveal something much deeper. Small conflicts are rarely about what they seem. Beneath the surface, emotions, control, and trust are at play. In this episode, Josh and Sam explore why trivial fights erupt in churches, what they reveal about church health, and how leaders can keep the small stuff from becoming spiritual landmines. The post Church Conflict: Five Common Ways Small Fights Turn into Big Problems appeared first on Church Answers.
