As the renewable energy and storage industries grow, and enter more hostile geographies, asset resilience is becoming an increasingly pressing concern. Developers, owners and lenders want to know how solar, storage and other facilities can increase their resilience to the growing risks of physical threats such as hailstorms and wildfires. The rush to add capacity to meet surging demand from new data centres is adding to the pressure, making calculations about the value of asset reliability increasingly complex.In this special episode, host Ed Crooks speaks with Mike Perron, Renewable Energy Market Lead at FM, and Cassian Walker, Operations Vice President and Renewables Engineering Manager at FM, one of the world's largest commercial property insurers. They explain how insurers are starting to build resilience into renewable project design far earlier in the development process, and why that has become a financing issue as much as a technical one.For solar power, that means understanding the inherent physical risks such as hail, then deciding what combination of tracker systems, stowing technology and panels is right for the location. The same equipment that performs adequately in California or New Jersey can become a major liability in Texas or Arizona.Cassian explains how modern trackers can tilt panels away from an incoming storm to turn a direct hit into a glancing blow. Mike contrasts a devastating nine-figure loss at one Texas site with a far smaller loss at another facility that successfully stowed. Those resilience strategies can work only if the system is designed for the local wind and hail conditions, and the performance of the equipment has been tested and verified.From there, the conversation broadens to the economics. Insurance can account for a large share of a project's operating costs, and lenders are asking harder questions about resilience before they finance new builds. FM's case is that better engineering, better hazard modelling and earlier involvement from insurers and independent engineers can lower lifetime risk and improve financial performance, even if they raise up-front costs.Today, renewable developers still often treat insurance as a late-stage procurement exercise, after key technology decisions have already been locked in. Mike and Cassian argue that that is changing, but the industry is still early in that learning curve. As renewables become more important to the power system, those questions will only get harder to avoid.This episode of Energy Gang is sponsored by FM. As one of the world's leading commercial property insurers, FM combines engineering expertise, scientific research, and data-driven insights to help organizations understand, mitigate, and prevent loss before it occurs. From utility-scale solar and battery storage projects to thermal power generation, manufacturing operations, and other critical infrastructure, FM helps organizations build stronger, more resilient businesses.

Following Christ is a lifelong journey that requires us to keep going when life gets difficult, plans don't work, and people disappoint us. In the power of the Spirit, we learn to travel light, stop trying to control every outcome, develop a thicker skin, and care more about God's opinion than everyone else's.

Marriage isn't a contract—it's a covenant. In this episode, Pastor Jared and Pastor DJ unpack what biblical marriage looks like and why lasting relationships require humility, sacrifice, trust, and putting your spouse first.They discuss practical ways to build unity through communication, transparency, finances, priorities, and mutual submission. From shared budgets to protecting intentional time together, covenant marriage means choosing oneness over a “mine vs. yours” mindset.Whether you're married, dating, or engaged, this conversation challenges us to build relationships God's way and recognize the red flags that can keep us from true intimacy.

Building a successful business shouldn't mean sacrificing your health in the process. In this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk breaks down three essential skills every founder, CEO and business leader needs to stay in shape while dealing with the demands of running and growing a business. The reality is that your diary won't always be predictable. There will be travel, meals out, long days, unexpected problems and periods where training and nutrition can't be perfect. The answer isn't waiting for life to become less busy. It's developing the skills to stay consistent when it isn't. Kirk explains how to make better food decisions when travelling or eating out, how to train effectively when time and equipment are limited, and how to adapt when your normal routine gets disrupted. The goal is to create a health and fitness strategy that works alongside your business rather than competing with it. If you're a founder, CEO or business leader who wants to build year-round health, confidence and energy, apply to Built To Last here: www.kirkmiller.co.uk

High in the Andes of Peru, 2,400 metres above sea level, Machu Picchu stands as one of the world's great architectural achievements. But the extraordinary stonework, terraces and temples of Machu Picchu are just part of a much biggerstory.In this special episode of Light, Cities & Architecture, AntonyDiMase and writer and editor Justine Costigan explore the architecture, culture and legacy of the Incan Empire. Recently returned from Peru, Justine shares her experiences visiting Machu Picchu, Cusco and other significant Incan sites,offering a firsthand perspective on a civilisation that built an enormous and sophisticated empire in little more than a century.How did the Incas construct precisely fitted stone buildings without mortar, iron or modern machinery? How did they govern an empire without a written alphabet or currency? And what can their agricultural systems, infrastructureand approach to building in one of the world's most challenging landscapes tell us about architecture today?The conversation also explores the relationship between architecture and nature, from buildings aligned with the sun, moon and stars to agricultural terraces engineered to manage water and erosion. We consider why Incan buildings have survived centuries of earthquakes while many Spanish colonial structures have not—and what this reveals about architecture that is genuinely rooted in place.The episode also looks beyond the romance of Machu Picchu. Antony and Justine discuss the violence of Spanish conquest, the destruction of Indigenous architecture and culture, and the misleading story of Machu Picchu as a “lost city” supposedly discovered by the West. They explore how Incan traditions survived through cultural and religious syncretism, and how Indigenous influences continue to shape Peruvian culture today.Finally, the conversation turns to modern Peru: its extraordinary natural resources, food culture, agricultural knowledge, relationship with tourism and the enduring pride Peruvians have in their heritage.This is a story about stone, landscape and extraordinary ingenuity—but also about whose history gets told, what survives conquest, and what architecture can teach us about culture, resilience and our relationship with place.Special thanks to:Suzanne McLeod at Image on Line in Collingwood where we recorded our podcast.

In "Built to Last: Inside Holman Logistics", Joe Lynch speaks with President and COO of Holman Logistics, Mike Gardner, about how the company's 162-year heritage, safety-first culture, and long-term customer partnerships drive sustainable growth in today's supply chain landscape. About Mike Gardner Mike Gardner is the President & COO of Holman Logistics, a national third-party logistics company headquartered in Seattle, Washington. With a 40-plus-year career in supply chain management, Mike has held executive roles at GATX Logistics, APL Logistics, and DHL Supply Chain, previously serving as CEO of Kane Logistics before advising in 3PL, real estate, and venture capital. At Holman, he oversees 1,400 team members, over eight million square feet of distribution space, and a nationwide transportation network. Mike holds an MBA from Southern Illinois University and a Bachelor of Science from Miami University, where he serves on the Center for Supply Chain Excellence board. Passionate about empowering family businesses, he is also a founding board member of ALAN. Beyond logistics, this former high school chef, Cincinnati native, father of three, and marathoner has raised $7.4 million for cancer research over 16 years through Pelotonia. About Holman Logistics Holman Logistics is a national third-party logistics (3PL) provider offering multi-client warehousing, manufacturing support, and nationwide transportation solutions. Founded in 1864 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, the privately held company manages over eight million square feet of distribution space and operates a network spanning 20 locations across nine states. Operating with over 1,400 team members, Holman specializes in high-exacting verticals, including consumer packaged goods (CPG), food and beverage, ingredients, pet food, and major appliances. Its core capabilities range from contract warehousing, plant sub-assembly, and Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) services to private fleet shipping, dedicated shuttles, freight brokerage, and direct-to-consumer ecommerce fulfillment. Grounded in a culture prioritizing operational safety and long-term customer partnerships, Holman balances its multi-generational heritage with modern operational capabilities—incorporating advanced automation, continuous improvement programs, and AI-enabled site tools to deliver consistent, high-performance execution. Key Takeaways: Built to Last: Inside Holman Logistics In "Built to Last: Inside Holman Logistics", Joe Lynch speaks with President and COO of Holman Logistics, Mike Gardner, about how the company's 162-year heritage, safety-first culture, and long-term customer partnerships drive sustainable growth in today's supply chain landscape. Safety as an Operational Strategy ("Journey to Zero"): Holman Logistics treats safety not as a metric compared to industry averages, but as a non-negotiable core value targeting zero incidents. Operational safety sets the foundation for service quality, and every associate is empowered to "own the stop button" to pause unsafe operations. 162+ Years of Adaptability: Founded during the Lincoln administration and family-owned for over a century, Holman's longevity is proof of continuous adaptation—navigating world wars, recessions, deregulation, and eccommerce growth by staying close to customer needs. Culture Drives Retention and Service Consistency: In an industry plagued by high turnover, Holman relies on a people-first, performance-driven culture—reinforced by leadership orientations and awards like the Bob Downie Legacy Award—to retain experienced associates who know the customer's business inside out. True Strategic Partnership Over Transactional Service: Holman builds long-term, embedded relationships (some lasting since the 1960s) using open communication, system integration, and gain-sharing models that align financial incentives around mutual cost savings and continuous improvement. Nimble Innovation Without Tech Hype: Holman balances legacy heritage with modern capabilities. As a privately held "thinking company," it rapidly adopts practical technology—such as AI vision tools on forklifts for training—while quickly discarding tech that doesn't add operational value. Private Ownership as a Strategic Advantage: Unlike 3PLs beholden to private equity exit timelines or quarterly public earnings, Holman's multi-generational family leadership offers stability, long-term capital planning, and agility when customizing solutions for mid-market shippers. Focusing on Core Complex Markets: Holman deliberately specializes in high-exacting verticals—including CPG, ingredients, pet food, and major appliances—providing tailored services ranging from plant sub-assembly and store-door delivery to Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) support and final-mile execution.

What makes the network marketing model so powerful, and why does it remain relevant in an increasingly digital world?In this episode of Empower, Ryan Napierski is joined by co-host Kathy Schultz Johnson for a candid conversation about the fundamentals that have made direct selling so impactful for generations. They explore the power of micro-entrepreneurship, authenticity, leverage, and community, and how technology has transformed the way people build relationships and businesses.Ryan and Kathy also get real about what makes the model challenging. Rejection, ego, consistency, and the temptation to give up too soon can all stand in the way of progress. But the people who commit to the process, learn from the "nos," and keep showing up are the ones who create lasting momentum.At its core, this episode is a reminder that success rarely comes from one big moment. It's built through commitment, consistency, collaboration, and the willingness to keep going.

In this episode of the insuranceaum.com podcast, host Stewart Foley, CFA, speaks with Trevor Clark, Founder and Managing Partner of TPG Twinbrook Capital Partners, about the structural changes reshaping private credit and the enduring role of lower middle market lending. Trevor explains why private credit should not be treated as a single, uniform asset class and discusses how manager experience, direct origination, disciplined underwriting, financial covenants and active portfolio monitoring can influence investment outcomes.   The conversation also explores how insurance capital, BDC structures, retail redemptions, longer private equity hold periods and artificial intelligence are changing the direct lending landscape. Trevor shares why strong companies can still become vulnerable when overlevered, how lenders can use better data and monitoring to identify risks earlier, and what insurance investors should consider when evaluating both private credit managers and the structures used to access the asset class.

Rob, Jeremy, and Ben discuss if they believe the Rams model is built to last.

Pastor Nick Ferreiro explores how the condition of our hearts shapes the way we respond to God's Word and challenges us to build our lives on a firm foundation.

Your Business Is Profitable, But Is It Built to Last?

You guys, summer is running me over, anyone else? Kids are home, my schedule is a mess, and if you're anything like me, keeping up with your health goals feels like just one more thing on an already overflowing plate. But here's what I've realized this season: the moms who actually keep their results long term aren't the ones white knuckling it through some extreme plan. They're the ones who've built a sustainable weight loss routine for moms that can flex when life gets full, not one that falls apart the second things get hard. In this episode, I'm getting real about what's been on my mind lately, from what it actually takes to build habits that stick, to a mindset shift that changed the way I think about weight loss altogether. I'm also sharing something personal from my years working in a bariatric clinic that completely reshaped how I coach my clients today. If you've ever lost weight and gained it back (more than once), or if you feel like you were never taught what a healthy lifestyle even looks like, this one is for you. I promise, you can build this. It just doesn't happen overnight, and I want to walk you through how. -Rachel Next Steps: Meal Planning on Autopilot Starter Kit Chat with me by booking a Free Discover Call

Summer doesn't make you gain weight. Holidays, barbecues, weekends away and social events aren't the problem. The real problem is losing the systems and routines that keep you healthy for the other nine months of the year. In this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk explains why so many people undo months of hard work every summer—and how a few simple habits can help you stay lean, energised and consistent without missing out on life. This isn't about restriction or avoiding social occasions. It's about building systems that allow you to enjoy summer while still feeling confident, healthy and in control. In this episode you'll learn: Why summer isn't the real reason people gain weight. The simple systems that create year-round consistency. Why starting your day with movement changes every decision that follows. How planning tomorrow today removes unnecessary stress. The importance of tracking the fundamentals without becoming obsessive. How to identify and protect your non-negotiable habits. Why weekly reflection is more powerful than waiting until September. How to enjoy holidays, meals out and social events without starting over. The biggest mistake people make every summer. How high performers stay healthy no matter what season they're in. If you want to enjoy your summer without sacrificing your health, confidence or energy, this episode will give you a practical framework you can implement immediately.

Whether you're struggling with fatigue, feeling overwhelmed, or simply want to perform at a higher level, this framework will help you regain control. In this episode you'll learn: Why managing energy is more important than managing time. The six areas that determine your energy and stress levels. How better planning creates more consistency and less overwhelm. The nutrition habits that fuel performance instead of draining it. Why movement creates energy—even when you feel tired. How recovery impacts your productivity, mood and decision-making. Practical ways to reduce stress without slowing down. Why your environment shapes your habits more than willpower. A simple Keep, Stop, Start exercise you can complete in minutes. How small changes can dramatically improve your physical and mental performance.

What if the reason your restaurant isn't built to last is because you designed it to survive instead of dominate?Philippe Massoud opened ilili in November 2007, a 10,000 square foot Lebanese restaurant in New York City, nearly $7 million in debt, in the middle of a financial crisis, with critics questioning whether anyone wanted Lebanese fine dining at that scale. Nineteen years later, the restaurant is still breaking records.In this conversation, we get into why going smaller and safer is often the riskiest move an operator can make, how Philippe grew revenue 30% annually for five consecutive years after weathering the financial crisis, and why running a restaurant with two guests in mind changes everything.If you're building something real in a market that keeps getting harder, this episode is the one to hear.To learn more about ilili, visit ililirestaurants.com._________________________________________________________Free 5-Day Restaurant Marketing Masterclass – This is a live training where you'll learn the exact campaigns Josh has built and tested in real restaurants to attract new guests, increase visit frequency, and generate sales on demand.

Pastor Jamie Crawford delivers part four of the "Unshakeable" series, "Built to Last," teaching that God prepares believers through clearing, stretching, and settling seasons to form deep, lasting foundations. He urges listeners to trust the process, deepen their faith and obedience, and remember that what God builds will stand—turning current rubble into lasting breakthroughs.

Most people don't struggle because they lack knowledge. They struggle because they lack accountability. In this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk explains why accountability is the missing link between knowing what to do and actually doing it consistently. Whether your goal is to lose body fat, build muscle, improve your health, or perform better in business, accountability creates the standards, structure and feedback that keep you moving forward when motivation inevitably disappears. Kirk shares why so many ambitious people continue to start over despite having more information than ever before, and how measuring your progress, raising your standards and surrounding yourself with the right people can completely change your results. This isn't about relying on someone else forever. It's about creating a system that keeps you accountable until the behaviours become part of who you are. In this episode you'll learn: Why accountability is more powerful than motivation. The biggest reason people struggle to stay consistent. How to measure progress instead of relying on feelings. Why successful people still invest in coaches and mentors. The role standards play in lasting transformation. How to build accountability into your daily routine. Why feedback accelerates progress. The difference between knowing and doing. How to stop constantly starting over. Why the right environment changes everything. If you're tired of making promises to yourself that never last, this episode will help you build a system that creates year-round health, confidence and energy.

What separates a collection of houses from a place people fight to be part of? For John Hillman, the answer starts before the first stake goes in the ground.In this episode of The Punch List Podcast, Matt Birdwell, Jennifer O'Neal, and Ian MacDonald sit down with John Hillman — the vision behind two of Northeast Florida's most intentionally designed communities: Crane Island, a private gated enclave of custom Lowcountry homes along the Intracoastal Waterway in Fernandina Beach, and The Eleven at Congaree & Penn, eleven ten-acre agrarian homesteads outside Jacksonville where residents don't buy lots — they stake Claims.For custom builders and remodelers, this conversation goes somewhere most project meetings never reach: the philosophy underneath the build. John unpacks what it takes to design communities that compound in value over time — not just financially, but in meaning, identity, and the kind of word-of-mouth that no marketing budget can manufacture.If you're building custom homes or high-end renovations, you're already in the legacy business. This episode asks whether you're thinking about it that way.Mixed & Edited by Next Day Podcastinfo@nextdaypodcast.com

Your plans, your gear, and your hard-won skills only work if the body running them actually holds up. From the cabin, we zoom out on “health” and make it brutally practical: your body is the most important tool you own, and everything else depends on how well you maintain it.We start with sleep as the master variable. When sleep slips, everything slips with it: mood, patience, cravings, immunity, and decision making. We break down a few simple sleep hygiene levers that punch above their weight, like getting natural morning sunlight to set your circadian rhythm, building a real wind-down instead of treating bedtime like an on-off switch, and keeping your bedroom cold and genuinely dark so your body can drop temperature and recover.From there we get into food the way we think about self-reliance: single ingredient, real food, as close to the source as possible. We talk organic food without the hype, why glyphosate exposure concerns us, and why we prioritize grass-fed beef, wild game, and traditional cooking fats while avoiding industrial seed oils. We also touch on mold-tested coffee, daily movement built into life (not just a gym session), grounding, sunlight and vitamin D, reducing toxins in personal care products, and why clean filtered water matters.Finally, we tie it all together with something most people ignore: unplugging. Time outside, away from constant screens and noise, is a real nervous system reset, not a luxury. If you want a healthier, calmer, more capable life, start here.
