Podcast appearances and mentions of Brian Baker

Do you tend to go to the latest homeopathic trend, supplement, or medicine when sickness arises? Do you turn to prayer after exhausting all other things when a physical, emotional, or mental hardship surfaces? Many people think that Communion is just a religious tradition and should only occur within a church's walls and be served by a pastor or priest. But as sacred as Communion truly is, it can and should be taken in your own home! Jesus died on the cross for so much more than our salvation. We, as Christians, must tap into all that Jesus provided for us, and Communion is one of the ways this is possible. Listen in as Brian and Tiffany Jo Baker explain how we should turn to prayer and Communion first when trouble arises.Listen in for:How Communion can be taken at homeWhy we should turn to prayer and Communion firstWhat situations would warrant the need for CommunionFavorite Quotes:"Communion is super simple, yet super profound." - Brian Baker"Jesus paid the price for our soul, mind, will, emotions, and body, and that is what the bread represents." - Tiffany Jo Baker"If you only take Communion when someone gives it to you, you are missing out on a really cool and powerful tool in your own life." - Brian BakerFavorite Scripture: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly" - John 10:10✨ If you're looking for perfectly polished people or podcasts, this might not be for you. But if you want real people sharing real wisdom from a really great God, you're in the right place.

Brian champions human-first, tech-enabled strategies to navigate complexity. By taking a commercial and forward-thinking approach, Brian demonstrates how HR has the power to drive meaningful change, including in times of rapid change and uncertainty. Brian shares how Teneo is harnessing GenAI, for example transforming a people survey, cutting analysis time from six weeks to six days. This rapid approach not only boosts leadership effectiveness but also strengthens trust, transparency, and confidence across the organisation. Passionate about opportunity and inclusion, Brian reflects on his journey from a rural town in Ohio to a global HR leader. Guided by the mantra “don't fix, create,” he emphasises HR's role in helping people chart their unique career paths and in empowering leaders to see potential in others.   How HR Leaders Change the World is brought to you by Uplifting People We're an amazing community of cutting-edge HR Changemakers.

From guitarist, singer song writer, to practicing Buddhist, this was a wonderful rich conversation for Harv. Harv met Brian Baker while recording the book audio in his studio back in December and realised he had met a kindred soul on many levels. Plus Harv got a lesson on how a band works together on stage.

This is a good review article of the best ones for US residents. It's titled Best ESG ETFs: Top funds for socially responsible investing. It's by Brian Baker and found on msn.com. Here is some of what he has to say. “1. Vanguard ESG U.S. Stock ETF (ESGV) tries to match the performance of the FTSE U.S. All Cap Choice Index and screens for certain ESG criteria. Certain companies in the following industries are excluded from the fund: adult entertainment, alcohol, fossil fuels, gambling, nuclear power, tobacco and weapons. 5-year return (annualized): 15.7 percent Expense ratio: 0.09 percent 2. iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN) seeks to track the performance of an index of global stocks from the clean energy sector. 5-year return (annualized): 7.3 percent Expense ratio: 0.41 percent 3. iShares ESG MSCI USA Leaders ETF (SUSL) gives investors exposure to large- and mid-cap stocks that score highly on ESG issues relative to their sector peers. 5-year return (annualized): 9.7 percent Expense ratio: 0.49 percent 4. iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA ETF (ESGU) tracks the results of an index of U.S. companies with ESG features that show a similar risk and return profile as the overall MSCI USA Index. 5-year return (annualized): 15.7 percent Expense ratio: 0.15 percent” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Top 2025 ESG Stock and Fund Picks (2) This next article arises from some new original research. It's titled Top Stocks Widely Owned by Small-Cap ESG Funds by Frances Aufderheide and can be seen on morningstar.com. Now a few quotes from the article. “In the United States, small-cap stocks range from a market cap of $2.9 billion to $11.2 billion, which will be the focus of this exercise. [Learn more about Morningstar Categories by downloading the US Fund Category methodology paper.] We compiled the holdings of the oldest share classes of all US sustainable small-cap funds. Next, we put the top 200 stocks that are commonly owned in a theoretical portfolio. Then, we calculated what the average weight of each security would be if this portfolio held all 200 stocks. We did the same with traditional funds, defining the universe as the oldest share class of small-cap funds, excluding sustainable funds. We found five stocks owned exclusively by small-cap sustainable funds. Source: Morningstar Direct. Weights and Data as of Dec. 3, 2024. 1. Aptar Group (ATR) Morningstar ESG Risk Rating Assessment: Negligible Total Return Year-to-Date (Month-End): 41.30 Price/Fair Value: 1.05 Moat: Narrow ‘The company specializes in various drug dispensing solutions including nasal spray inhalers and elastomer components for injectable drugs, high-end fragrance pumps, and food dispensing closures.' ‘We think the firm's outlook is strong from a longer-term perspective…' —Jay Lee, Morningstar Senior Equity Analyst ‘The company's carbon footprint is affected by the nature of its operations and the source of energy used to power these operations.' —Morningstar Sustainalytics 2.

Increasingly stringent carbon regulations and energy efficiency requirements could lead to higher energy prices, larger associated costs for the company and compliance issues.' —Morningstar Sustainalytics 3. Clearway Energy (CWEN) Morningstar ESG Risk Rating Assessment: Severe Total Return Year-to-Date (Month-End): 12.00 ‘Clearway Energy Inc is a publicly-traded energy infrastructure investor with a focus on investments in clean energy and owner of modern, sustainable and long-term contracted assets across North America…' ‘Although the company provides some ESG disclosure, its overall ESG reporting is not in accordance with leading reporting standards' —Morningstar Sustainalytics 4.

It's titled 3 ESG Stocks That Align Profits With Purpose. It was written by Rjkumari Saxena and was seen on stocknews.com. Here is some of what Ms. Saxena has to say in her article. “1.

However, they are worth looking at. See this article titled Meet the High-Performing Infrastructure Stock That's Crucial to Supporting This Massive $3 Trillion Megatrend. By Matt DiLallo, found on fool.com. Here are some quotes from the article. “One company that is absolutely critical to building this infrastructure is Quanta Services (NYSE: PWR). It's the industry leader in providing specialized infrastructure solutions… Quanta Services provides specialized infrastructure solutions to the utilities, renewable energy, technology, communications, pipeline, and energy industries.

The Orioles failed again to reach 3 straight wins, a feat they have yet to accomplish since wrapping a 3 game win streak around the All-Star Break. It makes the 5th straight occurrence in which 2 consecutive victories were followed by a defeat. Despite 10 runs on 17 hits, 4 hits from Jackson Holliday and 5 RBI from Ramon Urias, and scoreless outings from Brian Baker and Keegan Akin, the Birds dropped a slugfest to the Red Sox as Corbin Burnes had the worst outing of his career, allowing 8 runs on 10 hits in just 4 innings. Paul and Ryan discuss that and more on The Bat Around!

Best ESG ETFs, Carbon Capture Stocks, More… Now carbon capture has been gaining increasing attention as a means to reduce CO2. Hence, this article might interest many of you. It's titled TOP 5 CARBON CAPTURE STOCKS FOR SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENT. It's by the Ritz Herald and found on their site at ritzherald.com. Here are some quotes from the article commenting on some of the leading companies in this sector. “Carbon capture technology has emerged as a promising avenue for mitigating the impact of greenhouse gasses on the environment… Research shows that the carbon capture market is predicted to hit $7.7 billion by 2025, further emphasizing the potential for growth in this sector. With governments worldwide implementing stricter regulations on emissions and offering incentives for carbon capture initiatives, the market is ripe for investment… The top five carbon capture stocks identified herein not only offer potential returns for investors but also contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable future for generations to come. 1) Dotz is a leading nanotechnology company traded on the ASX [Australian Securities Exchange], is at the forefront of innovation with its carbon-based nanotechnologies… Dotz's primary focus is on DotzEarth, a revolutionary CO2 capture carbon-based sorbent technology designed for industrial decarbonization, which addresses two major environmental challenges – 1) industrial carbon emissions and 2) plastic pollution. 2) Aker Carbon Capture is a specialized enterprise dedicated to carbon capture, offering an array of solutions, services, and technologies tailored for various industries. These encompass sectors such as cement, bioenergy, waste-to-energy, gas-to-power, and blue hydrogen… Its distinctive post-combustion capture technology is the culmination of an extensive eight-year research and development endeavor known as SOLVit. Throughout this program, numerous solvent mixtures were meticulously tested and compared to refine the innovation.

This innovative system is designed to significantly reduce various key parameters, including CAPEX & OPEX (CO2 Cost), emissions, effluent, waste, chemical, and water consumption, as well as plant size and labor requirements.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Best ESG ETFs, Carbon Capture Stocks, More… The next article appeared on the renowned Morningstar.com site. It's titled 2 Sustainable Index Stocks With Room to Grow and is by Muskaan Hemrajani and Leslie P. Norton. Here's a little of what they said about their picks. “WestRock and Carnival surged in 2023 but still look cheap today… That's our conclusion after perusing the Morningstar US Sustainability Index, which seeks to reduce ESG risk while tracking the Morningstar US Large-Mid Cap Index… 1) WestRock WRK  Morningstar Rating: 3 Stars Fair Value: $55.00 ESG Risk Rating: Medium Price (as of April 8, 2024): $49.25 WestRock manufactures corrugated packaging and consumer packaging products, such as folding cartons and paperboard. It accounts for roughly 20% of the North American containerboard market and is the second-largest producer. The company has returned nearly 60% in the past year… Spencer Liberman, Morningstar equity analyst, writes: ‘WestRock is exposed to some environmental, social, and governance risks, including carbon emissions from the firm's operation and sizable water usage for production. However, we don't believe these risks could result in material value destruction.' 2) Carnival CCL Morningstar Rating: 5 Stars Fair Value: $27.50 ESG Risk Rating: Medium Price (as of April 8, 2024): $15.66 Carnival is trading at a 45% discount. Carnival is the largest global cruise company, with 92 ships in service at the end of fiscal 2023. Carnival's brands attracted nearly 13 million guests in 2019, prior to covid-19, a level it has reached again in 2023… Writes Jamie Katz, equity analyst at Morningstar, in a report. ‘Carnival's first-quarter performance suggests continuing demand momentum. Net yields were up 18%, helped by an 11% increase in occupancy, along with ticket and onboard gains.'” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Best ESG ETFs, Carbon Capture Stocks, More… Many of you are likely invested in the stocks covered in this next article titled Enphase Energy vs. Plug Power: Which Alternative Energy Stock Does Wall Street Like Best? It's by Ebube Jones at Barcharts and found on theglobeandmail.com site. Now some quotes from the article. “The Case for Enphase Energy Stock (ENPH) With a market cap of $16 billion, Enphase Energy is a big name in the solar energy game. They're all about making solar power more efficient and user-friendly, offering tech like microinverters and energy storage systems to both homeowners and business customers… At current levels… Enphase stock is priced at a discount… Out of 34 analysts… Enphase has landed a ‘moderate buy' rating overall… The average target price is pegged at $125.38, suggesting a potential 4.4% upside from here.  The Case for Plug Power Stock (PLUG) Plug Power is making waves in the hydrogen and fuel cell tech scene, focusing on creating hydrogen fuel cell systems that could replace the usual batteries in electric-powered equipment and vehicles. They've got a lineup of tech that includes fuel cells, hydrogen fueling stations, and even their own green hydrogen production.  Wall Street's take on Plug Power is a cautious ‘hold.' The average target price for PLUG is $5.30, about 79% north of current levels.  The Verdict: Enphase Edges Out Plug Power Enphase Energy seems to be the Wall Street favorite of these two clean energy stocks… Plug Power, on the other hand, is stuck at a ‘hold,' and has yet to turn a profit… But, keep an eye on Plug Power too - if they can get those hydrogen plants up and running and start turning a profit, they could be a serious contender in the longer haul.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Best ESG ETFs, Carbon Capture Stocks, More… I'm going to end with this article titled Al Gore's Hedge Fund Loves This $445 Billion Stock. It's by the Motley Fool and seen on theglobeandmail.com. “Al Gore, the former U.S. vice president, co-founded Generation Investment Management in 2004. Today, the firm manages nearly $50 billion, all of which is directed to investments that the firm believes won't destroy the planet… Where is Al Gore's investment firm putting money to work today? One of its biggest investments -- a stake worth roughly $560 million -- is in a company nearly everyone knows well: Mastercard (NYSE: MA)… During the past two decades, Mastercard stock has risen more than 10,000% in value… Gore's firm has owned Mastercard stock since the second quarter of 2022. Don't be surprised to still see it in the portfolio many years down the road.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Other Honorable Mentions – not in any order 1) Title: How First Solar Crushed Its Solar Energy Rivals on finance.yahoo.com.

In celebration of the recently unearthed Out of Step Outtakes, we take a detailed look at the making of the original record. After Minor Threat formed in Washington D.C. in 1980, they began to find an audience in the American punk scene. Their first two seven-inch records contained songs written by Ian MacKaye, such as “Straight Edge” and “Out of Step,” which kickstarted the straight edge movement within punk. By 1982, guitarist Lyle Preslar had left for college and Minor Threat temporarily broke up. After speaking with H.R. of the Bad Brains, MacKaye was convinced of the impact the band was having and considered reforming. At that point, Preslar agreed to quit college and rejoin the band. Despite accusations of the band selling out by reforming, Minor Threat began playing shows in their hometown and embarked on a cross-country tour. Brian Baker decided to switch from bass to second guitar so they asked Steve Hansgen to join as the new bassist. In early 1983, they returned to Don Zientara's Inner Ear Studio to begin recording as a five-piece. Out of Step was eventually released in the spring of 1983. In this episode, Ian MacKaye describes this pivotal moment in the band's history when they decided to reunite and change their sound by adding a fifth member. Though they faced backlash about reuniting from their hometown crowd, this fueled the next batch of songs they would write as a band. MacKaye discusses how most of his lyrics on this record reflect the gossip and backstabbing that was prevalent in their scene at the time. In addition, tension within the band was rising over MacKaye's lyrics and their overall musical direction. The new version of the title track reflected their differences as Jeff Nelson convinced MacKaye to include a spoken word interlude that explained how the straight edge lyrics were personal to MacKaye and didn't represent the band's views. From Minor Threat's first 12-inch to a joke song about selling out to recording vocals live for the first time to the benefits of an expensive strobe tuner to hearing the call of punk to self-define, we'll hear the stories of how the record came together.
