Podcasts about Byers

Milam Byers, guitarist for Christian rock legends Bleach, has spent twenty years trying to understand one moment. His older brother Josh, a decorated Army captain, was killed by a massive IED in Iraq in 2003. The explosion was so violent that it shook the ground two miles away. According to every medical report, Josh died instantly. But his driver heard him shout a command. Clear. Precise. By name. And every man in that vehicle obeyed it and lived. Milam sits down with Luke and Nate to share what the driver told him years later about a voice that couldn't have been there, but everyone heard.This is an episode about brothers, grief, and what happens when God shows up in the deepest darkness. Milam opens up about the vision he received alone in a closet the night Josh died, the satellite image nineteen years later that confirmed every detail, and why the theology of suffering isn't just academic to him. He's still putting the pieces back together. And his brother's last words keep pointing him forward.

Today on the Invest In Her podcast, host Catherine Gray talks with Allison Byers, a founder, investor, and capital access advocate dedicated to creating a more inclusive funding ecosystem. She is the founder of Scroobious, a relationship-first capital access platform, and the author of Fundraising for The Rest of Us. Allison also co-authored California's landmark Fair Investment Practices by Venture Capital Companies Law and serves on multiple boards. Prior to her work in venture advocacy, she co-founded a medtech company spun out of MIT, raising nearly $10 million and bringing an FDA-registered product to market—an experience that ultimately revealed the deep systemic inequities in funding that shaped her mission today.  In this episode, Allison shares her firsthand experience navigating the venture capital landscape and the pivotal moment that exposed the disparities founders face—when the all-male team that acquired her company went on to raise significantly more capital. She and Catherine dive into the structural barriers that prevent underestimated founders from accessing funding, and how Allison is actively working to dismantle those barriers through policy, education, and community-building. The conversation highlights the importance of relationship-driven capital, transparency in fundraising, and empowering founders with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed. This episode is both an eye-opening look at the realities of venture funding and a practical guide for building a more equitable path forward.   https://www.showherthemoneymovie.com www.sheangelinvestors.com    Follow Us On Social Facebook @sheangelinvestors Twitter (X) @sheangelsinvest Instagram @sheangelinvestors & @catherinegray_investinher LinkedIn @catherinelgray & @sheangels   #InvestInHer #FinancialWellness #WomenInFinance #FinancialEmpowerment #MoneyMindset #InclusiveFinance #FintechForGood #BehavioralEconomics #WealthBuilding #FinancialHealth #EmpowerWomen #MoneyMatters #SheAngelInvestors #InvestInYourself #FinancialFreedom

Dustin Williams, Amanga Stodgel, and John Wirth joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the proposed CO₂ sequestration project near the city of Galva at the ethanol plant. Dustin shares the information he has accumulated regarding CO₂ capture and storage. Amanda is a registered nurse and shares information regarding carbon dioxide exposure and emergency response to a CO₂ leak. A group was formed to keep Galva residents educated and informed of the project. You can join the group on Facebook at "Galva Area CO2 Awareness Group". The June 1, 2026, council meeting will have Chief Byers and Mat Schnepple from the Office of Emergency Management to discuss the emergency response plan should there be a CO₂ leak. Residents of Galva packed the city council chambers to confront officials after learning that City Administrator David Dyer signed a land-use agreement with Lapis Carbon Solutions in November without a council vote. The contract would allow carbon-capture and storage activities on city land, contingent on permit approval, with an upfront payment of $20,000 and a total value of $170,000. Mr. Dyer told the public he wanted the money to hire a geologist to consult on the effects of pumping CO₂ into the ground and the possible long-term effects. Many residents expressed concerns over health, safety, property values, and transparency. City officials plan to hold a public meeting on the issue in June, with details forthcoming. Galva Fire Department Chief Nate Byers is moving forward with safety preparations for the ethanol plant's upcoming CO₂ injection project, which remains several years from completion. In anticipation of potential risks, Byers has started collaborating with local fire chiefs who have experience with similar projects, as well as reaching out to the Henry County Office of Emergency Management for discussion about possible leaks and public safety measures. Firefighters from Altona, Oneida, and Wataga are also joining the effort, focusing on truck traffic concerns along Route 34. Byers advocates for early installation of air monitoring systems and public alarms at the plant, alongside clear signage to direct traffic in emergencies. Lapis and Big River Resources unveiled their partnership to tackle carbon emissions at the November 3, 2025, council meeting. Dave Zimmerman, CEO of Big River Resources, emphasized their ongoing collaboration to develop a safer alternative to earlier pipeline proposals. Erik Leigh from Lapis detailed plans for underground CO₂ storage, leveraging Galva's unique geological layers to secure emissions without disrupting farmland or invoking eminent domain. The project features a rigorous state and federal permitting process and a half-century of post-storage monitoring. Representatives assured local leaders and residents of continued community involvement and openness as the initiative progresses, promising economic and environmental benefits for the region. In Galva, Illinois, a pioneering partnership between Lapis Carbon Solutions and Big River Resources is set to reshape the future of ethanol production. Their new project aims to capture and store over 725,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually, significantly reducing ethanol's carbon intensity by at least 30%. Supported by federal tax incentives that could bring over $61 million each year for the first 12 years, this initiative combines environmental ambition with financial strength. Experts see this site-specific approach as a potential model, standing apart from controversial multi-state carbon pipeline projects. The Galva carbon sequestration project has entered the rigorous Environmental Protection Agency Class VI permit process, a step known for its complexity and strict requirements around CO₂ storage safety. Applicants must submit detailed geological information, operational plans, and post-closure strategies to ensure carbon dioxide remains securely underground. The permit review, which often takes years, is compounded in Illinois by the new SAFE CCS Act. This legislation, effective from 2025, enforces additional state-level regulatory controls and outright bans the use of stored CO₂ for enhanced oil recovery. Both federal and state oversight signal heightened scrutiny amid growing public concern. Class VI wells are specialized injection wells regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency to store carbon dioxide deep underground, a process known as geologic sequestration. These wells aim to capture CO₂ from industrial sources or directly from the air and inject it thousands of feet below the surface, keeping it out of the atmosphere to combat climate change. Strict construction, operation, and monitoring requirements are in place to protect underground sources of drinking water. Public involvement is emphasized, with opportunities to comment on permits and attend hearings. All Class VI projects undergo careful oversight and must meet federal and local safety regulations. Find more information on Class VI wells and carbon capture on the "EPA Website." Find more information from Lapis at the "Big River Project" website.
