It's not for the faint of heart: succeeding as a manufacturer in the fiercely competitive solar and energy storage industries. So, why do some companies thrive, while others fail? As relatively young industries, clean energy markets offer rapid opportunities – but they can disappear just as quickly. The solar industry, in particular, has seen a long list of manufacturers rise and fall amid shifting market forces and policy landscapes. Today, with solar nearing maturity and battery storage following close behind, there's renewed optimism. Greater policy stability, growing investor confidence, and economies of scale could pave the way for a more resilient and diverse manufacturing ecosystem. How this plays out will vary across regions – making it all the more important to examine what's working, what's not, and what lessons we can take forward. Jonathan Gifford discusses in this podcast with Ivan Saha, Sebastian Gatz, and Josefin Berg, why the competition in the solar industry and energy storage market is so challenging. About the Speakers Ivan Saha is the CEO of Renewable Manufacturing at Reliance Infrastructure (Rinfra). Before this, he worked at the Indian solar manufacturer Vikram Solar for nearly a decade, serving as both CTO and CEO. Sebastian Gatz is the Vice President, Renewable Energies & Strategic Partnerships at Von Ardenne. Before joining Von Ardenne, Gatz had diverse experience with production equipment suppliers, including Meyer Burger and Manz. Josefin Berg is a Research & Analysis Manager for Solar & Energy Storage at S&P Global Commodity Insights. She has worked in solar and storage analysis at IHS Markit, which was then acquired by S&P, for approximately 15 years.

In this special Underground Lounge live episode from Atlanta, R&B icons Jagged Edge step into the spotlight for a raw and unfiltered conversation about music, longevity, and the unbreakable bond between brothers. From their early days in Atlanta to becoming a staple in R&B history, the group reflects on the secrets behind staying together in an industry designed to split groups apart.The fellas don't hold back, sharing stories about how they navigated the industry's shift from CD sales to streaming, how label politics almost changed their path, and why today's landscape isn't built for groups like it used to be. They even admit to a couple of near-misses, including passing on a song that ended up becoming a massive hit for another artist.They also go deep on the real impact of love songs, how tracks like “Promise” and “Let's Get Married” helped shape a generation, and reveal some of the personal stories behind the music. Things get even more interesting when the F** It Bucket* comes out, sparking hilarious debates about ghosting, the art of the compliment, and the unexpected wisdom in a woman who “don't gotta take all her clothes off.”Whether it's the origin of their group name, behind-the-scenes So So Def moments, or their favorite small cities to perform in, this episode is packed with soulful memories, industry game, and classic Jagged Edge energy. It's a celebration of real R&B, real friendships, and real talk.

Just when you thought you couldn't love Dr. Kim and Mrs. Nancy more—this episode takes things to a whole new level. With honesty and heart, they open up about the real journey of their marriage—sharing the intentional choices, tough seasons, and deep faith that carried them through. From early challenges that could have pulled them apart to the daily decisions that drew them closer, their story reflects what's possible when a couple chooses to build on the foundation of Christ. Their marriage is both relatable and inspiring—a powerful reminder that when God is kept first, a marriage doesn't just survive—it thrives. Episode Highlights: Intentionality is key. Marriages won't thrive naturally. Taking ownership and openly communicating are important tools for successful marriages.   Quotes from this Episode: Don't be negative.  I think we were in lust not in love. I think we had to build true love in our marriage. We've learned to build bit by bit. I thought if I loved you enough everything was going to be ok. Until you realize how much God loves you as a person you aren't truly free to love another person. Divorce isn't a word in our vocabulary anymore, commitment is! We realize now what we were missing. Just getting married doesn't mean you won't feel alone.    Questions for Conversation: What part of Dr. Kim and Nancy's story felt most relatable or surprising to you? Why? Have you ever assumed love alone would be enough to fix everything? How has your view of love and commitment changed over time? Have there been moments where one (or both) of you felt alone in your marriage? What helped reconnect you—or what could help now? Is “divorce” or emotional withdrawal ever subtly present as an option in your mindset or language? What does it look like to choose commitment every day? How can you better prioritize keeping God first in your marriage this week? What's one thing you want to be intentional about after listening to this episode—together or individually?   Mentioned in this episode: Find Dr. Kim on Instagram We believe that keeping marriage fun means date night can't be boring.

Building lasting relationships requires three essential elements: patience, passion, and persistence. Jacob demonstrated patience by working seven years for Rachel, showing that biblical dating follows a purposeful progression toward marriage rather than casual connections. His passion for Rachel made those years seem brief, highlighting the importance of loving the whole person and not just physical attraction. Finally, Jacob's persistence in working another seven years after being deceived demonstrates the commitment required to maintain relationships through challenges. These principles apply whether you're single, dating, or married—relationships that last require intentional effort and God-centered foundations.

We all know that clinician burnout negatively impacts the quality of patient care. That's why pharmacy residency accrediting bodies now emphasize resident well-being and professional sustainability as core components of residency training earlier in clinician careers. The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) Accreditation Standards for PGY1 and PGY2 Pharmacy Residencies include a formal requirement for programs to address resilience, well-being, and burnout prevention, reflecting the increasing recognition of burnout in healthcare.

Join guest speaker Russell Siemer, formerly the Worship and Outreach Pastor at Transformation Church, as he returns to share a deeply personal and powerful message entitled "Built to Last." Russell begins by highlighting the profound impact of a father's words and love in shaping a child's identity, urging all parents to verbalize their pride and affection, breaking generational cycles of unspoken love. Drawing from his own experiences as a church planter navigating both the urgency of reaching the unchurched and the patience to trust God's timing, Russell sets the stage for a profound dive into Ephesians chapter 3. He reveals the secret to living a life "built to last": understanding and internalizing God's boundless love. Russell unpacks Paul's message to the Ephesians, a church situated at the epicenter of both human knowledge and diverse worship. Paul reminds them—and us—that through Christ Jesus, the gospel is now inclusive, granting both Jews and Gentiles equal access to God's presence and an equal share in the riches inherited by His children. This "mysterious plan," hidden for ages, was always God's intention: a meta-narrative of restoration for all. A poignant segment of the message addresses the counterintuitive truth that where the church faces the greatest persecution, the gospel spreads like wildfire. Russell offers a stirring challenge to American believers, reminding them that an increasingly unpopular Christian faith is, in fact, a sign of an opportune time for a great spiritual awakening. The heart of the sermon lies in Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3:14-19: that we would be "empowered with inner strength through His Spirit" and that "Christ will make His home in your hearts as you trust in Him." This leads to the core truth: God loves you. Russell tackles common misconceptions about this foundational truth, debunking the myths that God's love is a license for complacency or an excuse to remain unchanged. Instead, he asserts, God's love accepts us as we are but loves us too much to leave us there, providing the "guardrails" for a life of purpose and wholeness. He transparently shares common barriers to receiving God's love, including past hurts from earthly relationships, the struggles and hardships of life that tempt us to question God's care, and a low view of ourselves that hinders self-forgiveness. Russell beautifully illustrates God's lavish and seemingly "reckless" love through the parable of the Prodigal Son, demonstrating the Father's relentless pursuit and extravagant grace for the undeserving. This message is an urgent invitation to step into God's transforming love—whether for the very first time in salvation, for healing from deep wounds inflicted by earthly fathers, or for overcoming the struggle to love and forgive oneself. Russell Siemer provides practical encouragement and a powerful reminder that "nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord." Tune in to discover how embracing this truth can build a life that truly lasts. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday. For service times and meeting location please visit https://transformtlh.com/

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I dive deep into what makes relationships and ​other things truly "built to last​." ​Starting with ​a story about my trusty 25-year-old vacuum cleaner that's still going strong​, I share how in our fast-paced world of disposable everything, we've lost the art of investing in quality products ​and connections that stand the test of time. I break down ​some of the key ingredients for lasting relationships, which I call ​t​he "C's": consistent effort, clear communication, connection, compromise, and constructive conflict resolution. Think of it like a relationship recipe - you need trust, mutual respect, reliability, appreciation, and the willingness to grow together. No relationship is perfect, but the magic happens when both people are committed to showing up and doing the work. Emotional intelligence is ​for sure a ​wicked big game-changer. I ​also talk about how we need to be willing to be vulnerable, truly listen to each other, and ​do our best to have empathy. This means creating space for all emotions, not just the comfortable ones.Whether it's with a partner, friend, or family member, relationships thrive when we're willing to see and hear each other authentically.The bottom line?Love is the foundation, but love isn't just words - it's ​also your actions. It's about being willing to ​sometimes compromise, ​consider forgiv​i​ng the small stuff, and ​to continuously invest in ​individual and shared growth. Not every relationship is meant to last forever, but when both people are committed to loving each other and themselves, magic can happen​!Remember, ​we want ​the foundation of ​our personal and professional relationships ​to be constructed on rock, not sand - ​so it behooves us to show up as solid, steady, and ​intentionally built to last. KK'S KEY TAKEAWAYS:•​ Invest in quality products and relationships that stand the test of time.•​ Consistent effort and clear communication are crucial for lasting connections.•​ Trust, mutual respect, and reliability form the foundation of strong relationships.•​ Practice emotional intelligence by being vulnerable and truly listening to others.•​ Appreciate your partner and express gratitude for their everyday actions.•​ Commit to both individual goals and shared growth in your relationships.•​ Compromise and consider forgiving the small things that don't truly matter.•​ Love is more than just saying the words - it's also about congruent actions.•​ Not all relationships are meant to last.•​ Prioritize connection, empathy, and continuous personal development in your partnerships.• The Nest - Group Mentoring Program BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Integrative Change Worker, Coach and Hypnotist.

Summary: Back in February, we were joined on the show by Stuart Haselden, CEO of outdoor apparel company, Arc'Teryx. Hearing about his retail philosophy and personal story was absolutely fascinating, so we decided to revisit the episode for listeners who may have missed it the first time around.   You've heard it before: "The customer is always right." For many businesses, that's sound advice. But for premium brands, the road to success often takes a different route. Rather than reacting to every shift in demand, it's about staying rooted in a philosophy: delivering quality, staying authentic, and fostering relationships that stand the test of time. Today's guest has fully embraced this approach, leveraging his brand's strengths to set a new standard of excellence in the technical apparel market. Stuart Haselden has been the CEO of Arc'teryx since 2021 and brings over 20 years of global experience in retail and premium brands to the company, having worked in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia for brands such as Away Travel, Lululemon, J.Crew, and Saks Fifth Avenue. His career began in the United States Army where he served as a Cavalry Officer—a defining experience for him that has shaped his views on leadership.
