Yesterday, Base Power announced a $1 billion series C, giving the residential battery company an eye-popping $4 billion post-money valuation. Base manufactures, installs, owns, and operates residential batteries — a vertical integration strategy that CEO Zach Dell says is the “magic” to beating utility-scale batteries on CapEx. The company also acts as an electricity retailer and sells generation capacity. So how does Base's business model work? And what will it do with its new fundraise?  In this episode, Shayle talks to Zach about Base's business model, the vertical integration strategy, and the challenges ahead. They cover topics like: The customer value proposition: how customers pay for backup power and Base uses the batteries for grid services Bases's “gentailer” business model in ERCOT, earning revenue from monthly customer fees, retail electricity sales, and battery arbitrage The regulated market approach, where Base sells capacity directly to utilities Base's vertical integration strategy: from ground-mounted designs to decoupled installation processes Challenges like managing a fixed workforce amid fluctuating demand and the declining price volatility in ERCOT Resources: New York Times: Base Power, a Battery-Focused Power Company, Raises $1 Billion Open Circuit: Is this moment for distributed energy different?   Catalyst: Is now the time for DERs to scale?  Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

In this tumultuous political era, it's common to hear that the Left needs to rebuild its historic sources of power. But it's more accurate to say that the Left is essentially in the process of starting over again. On this episode of Confronting Capitalism, we share Vivek Chibber's keynote address at the Jacobin conference, “Socialism in Our Time,” which marked the 15th anniversary of the magazine. He discusses how capitalism has changed since the turn of the century, how the Left has been neoliberalized, and why Zohran Mamdani's campaign may point in a new direction.

Welcome back! In this episode, I'm diving into the frequency of YES — the energetic permission slip that changes everything. So often we focus on what we don't want, trying to control, fix, or avoid what feels uncomfortable. But the real power comes when we start saying yes — yes to the life that's calling, yes to the divine invitations showing up, yes to the version of you that's ready now. This conversation weaves science and spirituality, breaking down how your words and focus literally rewire your brain through neural pathways and activate your reticular activating system — shaping the reality you experience every day. When you start saying yes to expansion, to joy, to abundance, to your heart's pull — life begins rearranging itself to meet you there. I'm sharing how to recognize your divine invitations, what happens when you resist them, and how to start playing “The Yes Game” — a simple daily practice that opens you to more synchronicity, guidance, and flow. This isn't about saying yes to everything. It's about saying yes to what feels alive, to what feels light, to the frequency of your next evolution. Mentioned In The Episode

Demand response was the original distributed energy resource. In its early days, it was surprisingly manual: a grid operator would call up a large load, like a factory, and request a few hours of reduced demand during peak times. Fast forward to today and DERs look dramatically different. They're automated, deployed frequently across the country, and include everything from EVs and thermostats to sophisticated management systems at paper mills and data centers.  So how did DERs evolve from phone calls to fully fledged virtual power plants? And what role do they play now as electricity demand surges? In this episode, Shayle talks to Dana Guernsey, co-founder and CEO of DER and VPP developer Voltus. She is also the former Director of Energy Markets at EnerNOC, a pioneer in demand response. Shayle and Dana cover topics like: The changing mix of customers and resources, as well as the evolving use cases Voltus's new “Bring Your Own Capacity” model, allowing large loads like data centers to fund regional VPPs The barriers that hold DERs back, like access to data The market forces shaping DER adoption, including load growth, declining system costs, and market structures How DERs stack up against conventional power plants in meeting rising demand Resources: Open Circuit: The grid flexibility solutions staring us in the face Catalyst: Is now the time for DERs to scale?   Catalyst: Making DERs work for load growth   Catalyst: PJM and the capacity crunch   Latitude Media: Google expands demand response to target machine learning workloads Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

Hi, loves! Welcome back to The Awakening Her Podcast.  Today we're talking about the stage called The Shift — that pivotal moment when the risk to remain the same finally outweighs the risk it takes to blossom. We change our lens, throw our hands up and say “enough,” where we stop hiding from life and decide to become the deliberate creator of our reality. One of the most powerful lessons I've learned is that perception is everything. How we interpret what happens in our lives shapes our reality. Your perception is the lens through which you experience life. And you have the power to choose it. It doesn't matter what happens — it matters what you choose to make it mean. I am excited for you to dive in. In this episode I also share some updates for the show and my business.   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE ✨ Life Of Magic - 21 Day Quantum Upgrade Experience - Join the 10/10 live round here! ✈️ 2026 Retreat Waitlist - Stay on the inside with the dates, location and waitlist only pricing! 

Welcome to the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence.On today's episode, Sara Payne sits down with Emily Hansen, Senior Director of the Resensation program at Axogen, to discuss how healthcare brands can leverage thought leadership to reshape public perceptions, influence behavior change, and ultimately become architects of a health revolution.As a specialist in advocacy and education, Emily champions awareness about a lesser-known but highly prevalent outcome of breast cancer surgery: chronic numbness following a mastectomy. Through her work at Axogen, she's spearheading a movement to empower breast cancer patients and their care teams with knowledge and solutions that can dramatically enhance quality of life beyond survival—focusing on nerve repair and the pioneering Resensation procedure.In this thought-provoking conversation, Sara and Emily explore the intersection of marketing, education, and advocacy. They dive into the challenges of raising awareness about health issues shrouded by misconceptions, the vital role of patient advocates, and how moving beyond short-term wins toward long-term health movements is key to redefining standards of care. You'll hear about real strategies for engaging the survivor community, addressing clinician knowledge gaps, and the ongoing effort to translate awareness into tangible business and health outcomes.Thank you for being part of the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence. The future of healthcare depends on it.Key Takeaways:Marketing as a Catalyst for Health Movements:Emily illustrates how powerful marketing can spark a health movement—even for issues that have been historically overlooked. By focusing efforts on educating both patients and clinicians about post-mastectomy numbness and offering actionable solutions, the Resensation program exemplifies marketing's role in not just awareness, but wholesale perception change within healthcare.Stakeholder-Centric Communication:Reaching both patients and providers requires tailored messaging and a multi-pronged approach. Emily explains that effective campaigns must bridge awareness gaps in diverse audiences, from general consumers and advocacy groups to the full spectrum of clinicians. The Resensation team balances highly technical provider information with relatable patient stories to ensure relevance and clarity across all touchpoints.The Power (and Sensitivity) of Patient Advocacy:Patient advocates are not mere influencers; they are individuals with lived experiences and deep personal investment. Emily shares how collaborating authentically with survivor communities—such as The Breasties—can accelerate education and trust. She emphasizes the importance of letting advocates' voices lead and prioritizing the issue above the brand to build an enduring movement.Long-Term Commitment Over Short-Term Wins:Creating lasting change in public and professional awareness isn't achieved through one-off major media hits. Instead, it demands continuous investment, evolving narratives, and relationship-building across years. Emily underscores that consistent, layered outreach (PR, education, advocacy partnerships, and digital content) is essential for sustaining momentum and meeting both patient and business objectives.Measuring Impact: Business and Behavioral Outcomes:The Resensation campaign's success isn't just marked by media impressions, but by tangible growth in web traffic, patient referrals, and most compellingly, provider demand for training. Emily discusses the importance of presenting both quantitative metrics and qualitative anecdotes to executive leaders as evidence of progress, and how adapting data models helps demonstrate true business value over time.For more information about the Resensation program, including educational resources and a...

On this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the pleasure of speaking with Alan Gregerman, an internationally recognized authority on business strategy, innovation, and the hidden potential within all of us. Known as the “Robin Williams of Business Consulting,” Alan brings humor, humanity, and deep insight into how we can adapt, grow, and innovate in a world changing faster than ever before. I couldn't wait to share this podcast with you! My friend and innovation mentor, Alan Gregerman, joined me on On the Brink with Andi Simon for a stimulating conversation that digs into the interesting challenges facing all those who want to find their own best way of innovating. The "Robin Williams of Business Consulting," Alan injects humor, humanity, and leading-edge thinking into the brutal truth about how we need to adapt, change & innovate so now we win in a world changing faster than ever. Alan's latest book, "The Wisdom of Ignorance: Why Not Knowing Can Be a Catalyst for Innovation in an Uncertain World," reminds us that our lack of knowledge can be the source of the greatest discovery. During our conversation, we discussed his unique personal journey, his desire to help others reinvent themselves, and the most critical skills for all of us to cultivate to succeed in a world of disruptions. Curiosity Begins Early Alan revealed that his interest in other cultures began in early life. His mother, a specialist in world history, and one cherished gift — an atlas — prompted him never to stop learning and exploring. That early sense of curiosity would eventually form the basis of his career: to help businesses and individuals look beyond what they know, he tells them, to find new ideas in unexpected places. This investigative spirit has characterized his writing, from Lessons from the Sandbox (about reclaiming the creativity of childhood) to Surrounded by Geniuses (on how ordinary people and ideas can spur innovation) to The Necessity of Strangers (for why we must connect with people unlike ourselves). Now, with The Wisdom of Ignorance, he contends that expertise is not sufficient: we must develop the courage to say "I don't know" and use that humility to drive our future expos. Why Adults Resist Change A common refrain in our conversations was how hard it is to make a change. Alan reminded us that whereas 10% of people are quick to embrace new concepts, and another 10% resist vigorously, the rest of us tend to be somewhere in between. This resistance is not only cultural — it's neurological. Because our brains are wired to conserve energy, they will always prefer established habits over new things to learn. It's why Alan emphasized that innovation frequently demands creating small, quantifiable experiments. We can try ideas out incrementally rather than insisting on wholesale change overnight. These experiments help build confidence, reduce fear, and allow us to adjust more organically to the world as it changes. Watch our video of our podcast on YouTube. Wisdom of Ignorance Alan's methodology is based on what he dubs the six fundamental skills for flourishing in uncertain times. Central to them is purpose. Without something transformative and exciting enough to wake up for, innovation merely wanders around aimlessly. Clarity of purpose, whether it's in a for-profit or not-for-profit organization, is what leads to curiosity and experimentation, which begets growth. "When I speak with people at non-profits, one of the common themes you'll hear is a greater sense of purpose than businesses," Alan says that both sectors need to revisit and sharpen their "why constantly." "Best is a space that's kind of a moving target," as he put it. What works today is no guarantee of relevance tomorrow, and without purpose, even the greatest idea can lose its impact. The Six Essential Capabilities of an Innovative Organization Alan boiled it down to six related skills - all of which are the building blocks of his book and consulting practice: 1. Purposefulness – Commit to something worth doing that is meaningful. 2. Curiosity – Ask for inspiration and you will find it, remembering that behind most great ideas is the thinking of others. 3. Humility – Acknowledge we don't have all the answers, discovery starts with an open mind. 4. Respect – Respect everybody and everything, they are coming from somewhere unexpected. 5. Focus Forward – Peer into the future with a focus on newer trends, cultures, and ideas. 6. Paranoia: Stay aware of the fact that competitors and threats are always on your heels. These habits together prompt us to adopt what Santayana gleefully termed "enlightened ignorance" — a stance that appreciates not knowing as yet as the beginning rather than the end of knowledge. Lessons for Leaders As an anthropologist, Alan's take felt eerily familiar. We both believe that growth is often staring organizations in the face, disguised in plain sight — if only they can look beyond their routines and assumptions. Leaders need to push teams out of their comfort zones, provoke new ways of thinking, and acknowledge progress along the journey. Alan cautioned us that our customers aren't loyal because they're devoted to us — they stay with us because switching to another provider seems more complex. But they'll leave as soon as something better comes along. Innovation, therefore, isn't optional. It's survival. Human-Centered Change All this talk of disruption nowadays is mainly centered on technology — and current trend words like AI, Bitcoin, blockchain, or the Fourth Industrial Revolution — but Alan warned us to remember that much more critical forms of change are human and social. From changing values across generations to increasing loneliness and shifting work habits post-COVID, leaders need to pay attention to the people side of transformation. He urges us to reach out to strangers, listen more closely, and pay attention to the subtle signs of change that are all around us. In it, we can transform ignorance into discovery and shape futures that count. A Final Thought Alan's lesson is that you don't have to have all the answers in your mind to do something remarkable. All you need is a sense of purpose, curiosity, humility, respect for others, and a focus on the future — together with just enough paranoia to keep you from being complacent. Most of all, you need to warm up to the wisdom that eighth graders get every single day going into high school: not knowing. For, as these people remind us: "We all actually do have the ability to make a difference. It's something we can attain if we engage in a few crucial behaviors each day." His new book, The Wisdom of Ignorance, was published on October 14 and is available wherever fine books are sold. Key Takeaways: • Lean into what you don't know — that's where the wonder is, and that's where you'll feel becoming. • Purpose orients; small experiments build confidence. • Remain curious, humble, respectful of norms and traditions while remaining future-oriented, and a bit paranoid. • The human and social change is at least as important as the technological disruption. • Each and every one can make a difference one step at a time.

Introduction This week on The Spirit of the Deal, we're diving deep into the transformative power of identity shifts and embracing the unknown with the incredible Lynette Ida. If you've ever felt the pull to reinvent yourself, questioned your path, or struggled with the idea of "enough," this episode is your blueprint. We'll explore: How Lynette, a former international public health expert, pivoted from saving the world to saving herself after a life-altering health crisis. The profound shift in defining prosperity – moving beyond monetary gain to embracing health, presence, and a slow, intentional life. The challenging, yet ultimately liberating, journey of embracing her calling as a traditional healer, even when it wasn't the path she initially chose. The neuroscience behind accepting what is, and why fighting your calling is a losing battle. How communities like the Awakened Leadership community provide the anchor and acceptance needed to navigate massive personal evolution. Get ready to be inspired by Lynette's raw honesty and powerful insights. She's proof that the most profound deals are the ones we strike with ourselves. Honest Overview This conversation with Lynette Ida dives deep into the radical pivot happening in her life, moving from a high-powered career in global health to a profound focus on self, spirituality, and ancestral calling. The stakes are high – it's about redefining prosperity, embracing a new identity, and navigating the often-uncomfortable process of shedding old skins. The emotional core lies in the courage required to let go of external validation and the pursuit of worldly success to embrace a more authentic, albeit challenging, path. The Evolution of Prosperity: Lynette's definition of prosperity has dramatically shifted. What once meant career achievements and monetary gain has transformed into the richness of health (mental, physical, and physiological), living in a desired environment, and embracing a slower, more intentional pace of life. Identity as a Fluid Construct: The conversation highlights a pivotal identity shift. Lynette's drive to be "international" and "worldly" in her 30s, focused on saving others, has given way to an intense inward focus on self-preservation and healing, particularly after facing a life-threatening health crisis. This marks a powerful transition from external contribution to internal alignment. The "Spirit of the Deal" Redefined: For Lynette, the "Spirit of the Deal" is about the internal negotiation between "wanting" and "being enough." It's about placing her spiritual attention and authenticity on this internal alignment, looking inward rather than externally for fulfillment. This deal, she admits, is "not an easy deal to strike." The Unforeseen Calling: A significant part of Lynette's current journey involves embracing her role as a traditional healer, a path she inherited and initially resisted. This isn't a chosen career but a calling that, when ignored, led to personal upheaval. The emotional weight here is palpable; it's about surrendering to a lineage and a destiny that demands authenticity and presence. Suffering as a Catalyst for Growth: Lynette challenges the notion of avoiding suffering. She posits that a certain type of "frivolous" suffering—like fighting against societal expectations or the ego's need for external validation—is essential for growth. This is the suffering she's currently navigating as she sheds her old persona and embraces a more spiritual existence. The PhD and the Traditional Path: Interestingly, Lynette is pursuing a PhD in intellectual property law concerning biotechnological advancements in South Africa. This intellectual pursuit runs parallel to her deeply spiritual work as a traditional healer and her new role as a death doula, showcasing a multifaceted approach to life and contribution. The Power of Community: The conversation underscores the vital role of community, particularly through the Awakened Leadership community. This space offers solace, acceptance, and the chance to be truly oneself without qualification. It's a reminder that while old connections may fade, new ones can provide the support needed to navigate profound transitions. Embracing the "Death Midwife" Role: Lynette's training as a death doula is a significant revelation. This role extends beyond physical death to encompass the death of old identities, careers, and life stages. It's about holding space for profound transitions and supporting others through their own "liminal spaces," infused with her traditional healing wisdom. The central insight is that true alignment and a redefined sense of prosperity often emerge from radical acceptance of one's authentic path, even when that path is challenging and deviates significantly from societal norms. The emotional stakes are deeply personal: facing down the ego, honoring ancestral calls, and finding peace in the surrender to what is.

In this raw conversation with Sara Mayberg, we explore Sara's personal process of Teshuvah and the path back to her divine soul, as someone who was already committed to her Jewish practice. We discuss how the inherent nature of the divine soul is to want G-d, how Sara began to develop a visceral experience of trust, and how grief can crack us open in transformative ways. Other topics explored: how financial struggles can be invitations to lean on G-d, the significance of community in the path back to ourselves, learning to see the divine in others, the ongoing process of return, and the journey to reclaiming a sense of choice in our Judaism and relationships.

Most of us forget that the Holy Spirit isn't just with us; He's our guest, and there's a cost to carrying His presence. Are you sitting on the sidelines of what God has asked you to step into? The truth is, many of us have more evidence of stress and anxiety than evidence of the Spirit's power. But awareness changes everything. When you know the Word, declare the Word, and live the Word, your boldness activates the Holy Spirit like never before. This message from Catalyst will wake you up, stir your faith, and remind you that hosting His presence brings the power you've been praying for. ----more---- ABOUT UNION CHURCH We exist for one thing: to help unite people with purpose.

Agricultural byproducts like corn stover, wood chips, and soybean husks typically get left to decompose and release carbon dioxide. Don't call them “waste” though; some farmers use these byproducts as field cover to improve soil health. And industry uses a fraction of this biomass as feedstock for valuable products like ethanol, electricity, and heat. Theoretically, it's a vastly underutilized resource.  The problem is that agricultural residue is really hard to collect. The economics of gathering, sorting, processing, and refining are tough. On top of that, it makes for a crappy fuel. It's low energy density and high carbon, compared to oil, for example. So in what applications does agricultural residue make the most sense? And how do you economically collect the material at scale? In this episode, Shayle talks to Peter Reinhardt, co-founder and CEO of Charm Industrial, a carbon removal startup that collects agricultural residue and refines it in the field into what it calls “bio-oil.” It then injects the bio-oil underground for sequestration. Together, Peter and Shayle discuss the use cases and collection of agricultural residue, covering topics like: How the difficult economics of collecting and transporting biomass have killed centralized biomass projects, except in a few niche examples Why Peter says the processing and densification are key to improving the economics The tradeoffs between big, centralized processing facilities and Charm's on-field mobile pyrolysis units The case for using agricultural residue for applications where the carbon content matters, like iron-making, sustainable aviation fuel, and carbon removal What's driving carbon removal buyers and what it takes to build trust with them Resources: Catalyst: Fuzzy math and food competition: The pitfalls of sourcing biomass for carbon removal   Open Circuit: What we learned from the ethanol disaster   Catalyst: Shopify's head of sustainability on the realities of the carbon removal market   Catalyst: From biowaste to ‘biogold'   Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

In this episode, Steph explores the concept of hope, emphasizing its importance in navigating life's challenges. Some people characterize hope as "sticking your head in the sand" or thinking unrealistically. Through description of what hope is and the effects it can have, Steph makes the case that not only is hope not weakness or naivete, but it's essential for a fulfilled life. She discusses how hope can be a source of resilience and strength, helping individuals to see possibilities even in dark times. Through personal anecdotes and insights from her practice, she highlights the necessity of fostering hope in ourselves and others, and how it can lead to positive outcomes in various aspects of life.Chapters00:00 Finding Light in Darkness02:34 The Importance of Hope05:57 Hope as a Catalyst for Change07:41 Practicing Hope in Daily Life10:28 Becoming a Beacon of HopeStay in touch by signing up for "The Impact Effect" newsletter at stephsaffer.com

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this ‘hands-on' experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of Season 14 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. This week we kick off the episode with Parker Dalton who sits down with Emma Bekes, a recent graduate of the University of Colorado Boulder who has already carved out a career in international advertising. Originally an Environmental Science major, Emma discovered her creative calling during college and decided to pursue it wholeheartedly. That choice led her abroad, first to Sweden for a semester and later to South Africa for an international advertising internship. With global experiences under her belt Emma reflects on how working overseas felt like a natural extension of her life. In their conversation, she discusses why she chose to stay in South Africa after graduation, the lessons she's learned about navigating a foreign workforce, and her advice for college seniors interested in building careers that cross borders. We conclude our episode this week with a segment that comes to us from Greta Kunze who speaks with Emily Willoughby.  A renowned paleo-artist, illustrator, writer, photographer, and researcher at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, Emily's work bridges the worlds of art and science, with her illustrations and research reaching institutions such as the Shanghai Natural History Museum, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and journals like Evolution. Together, Greta and Emily explore how creativity informs scientific understanding, particularly in the popular realm of dinosaurs, and how artists can use technology to bring prehistoric life to the public imagination. Emily reflects on her journey from a high school dinosaur sketch that went viral online to a career that blends behavioral genetics research with internationally recognized paleoart. Listeners will gain insights into her creative process, her path through both science and art, and even how scientists can predict the colors of dinosaurs through modern discoveries.

After losing her uncle to brain cancer, Arpna spiralled. Grief told her, “Life's too short… eat what you want, drink what you like.” But the deeper truth hit harder: Life's too short to waste it feeling tired, sluggish, and disconnected from your best self. She didn't just want to feel better. She needed to be strong, emotionally, mentally, physically, to face what was coming next: Her son's ASD diagnosis, the stress of family life, and the growing weight of trying to hold it all together. So she stopped waiting. She committed fully. And she used the physical as the vehicle to reclaim control of her life. Losing 52.9lbs was never the full story. The real transformation came from how Arpna started to show up in her everyday life. She became sharper mentally. More focused at work. More present with her children. More intentional with her time. Arpna is now smashing it in her second year of the RNT journey, and is a great example of what's possible when you go all in!   Chapters: 00:00 The Catalyst for Change 02:06 The Journey Begins 14:03 Overcoming Initial Challenges 21:07 Transformative Experiences 28:22 Building a Sustainable Lifestyle 36:26 Reflections and Future Goals   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn

Catalyst | Part 3 | Mark Hoffman & Dave Gruhn

Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata hosts a panel of magic practitioners to discuss navigating issues related to mental health in one's magical practice. For this panel discussion, we address the following questions. How do we navigate the relationship between doing magic for things we desire in healthy ways (and how do we define this) vs. things we might desire that would be unhelpful for us, or which might travel into the territory of spiritual bypassing?

A decade ago, DERs were hot. The hype was that things like batteries, smart devices, and other distributed energy technologies would offset the need for expanding traditional grid infrastructure. But DERs never took off, at least not at the scale that many hoped for. They had high price tags and short track records compared to the existing substations, transmission lines, and generation options  that utilities were familiar with. In short, the market didn't need them yet. Fast forward 10 years, and things have changed. Load growth is increasing  while major grid bottlenecks — like in transmission, interconnection, and supply chains — may be opening up a new opportunity.  So is the time finally right for DERs? In this episode, Shayle talks to his colleague Andy Lubershane, partner and head of research at Energy Impact Partners. Last week, Andy published a blog post making the case that DERs were a good idea that was just too early, but the market is ready now. Shayle and Andy cover topics like: What held DERs back a decade ago  Why now is different, including falling system costs and growing grid bottlenecks The difference between demand response and virtual power plants The potential hurdles to scale, like supply chain bottlenecks, foreign entity of concern regulations, and fire codes Resources: Latitude Media: Can distributed energy answer AI's power problem?   Open Circuit: The grid flexibility solutions staring us in the face   Catalyst: Making DERs work for load growth   Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

Bitcoin briefly hit $117K as markets brace for Fed rate cuts, fueling speculation about new all-time highs. At the same time, fresh crypto ETFs are seeing strong inflows, though Bitwise doubts an altcoin season is near. Analysts warn a possible “third mandate” for the Fed could weaken the dollar and boost Bitcoin, while in the UK regulators are consulting on tailored crypto rules and seeking closer ties with the U.S. on digital asset policy.

Can depression be healed without antidepressants? Josh Trent welcomes Pixie Acia, Spiritual Wellness Coach, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 771, to share how nutraceuticals helped her transition off 15 years of antidepressants, why trauma shows up in our bodies until we face it, and how breathwork, community, and cycle-breaking practices can unlock healing far beyond pharmaceuticals. Nutraceuticals from Altrient (LivOn Labs) In order to repair the structural damage caused by a continual barrage of toxic substances and pathogens, your body requires a constant supply of phospholipids. Whilst humans can synthesise some phospholipid compounds, others are sourced from food. Phospholipids that are obtained from the diet are called ‘essential phospholipids'. The liposomes used in Altrient products are made from essential phospholipids that include a high percentage of Phosphatidylcholine (PC). These liposomes not only provide optimum protection and transport, but they also satisfy the body's need for PC, omega-6 fatty acids, and choline. Now Altrient has taken the power of LET out of the laboratory and put it into your hands. It's why Altrient products are so effective. High-performance nutrients delivering enhanced absorption! Try it for yourself In This Episode, Pixie Acia Uncovers: [01:10] Nutraceuticals: Natural + More Efficient than Anti-Depressants The role of nutraceuticals in treating depression. Why Pixie spent 15 years on depression medications. How liposomal applications help us absorb 80-90% of nutrients from a supplement. Why nutraceuticals provide clarity and allow us to feel our emotions more than antidepressants. How nutraceuticals affect both the brain and the gut. Why depression is a combination of trauma and imbalances in the brain. We can't heal from depression with just one practice.

Why what we don't express shows up as depression or disease. How doing our own healing helps other people heal. Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts All Resources From This Episode Pixie Acia LivOn Labs (Altrient) The Effects of Vegan Diet on Fetus and Maternal Health Michael Edward Johnson's Latch Theory The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel van der Kolk Power Quotes From Pixie Acia "What is repressed will eventually get expressed as depression or disease." — Pixie Acia "If you suffer from depression, you need nutraceuticals. They help not just build the foundational blocks in the brain, but also in the gut, affecting the serotonin and giving you the essential support that it needs to not be depressed." — Pixie Acia "Your nervous system is looking for familiar situations to identify whether it's safe or not. When we're used to repressing it, we aren't listening to the body to know if we're safe or not. And then we'll end up finding ourselves in similar situations again." — Pixie Acia  

The idea of colocating data centers with behind-the-meter generation is picking up steam, including large projects in Memphis, Texas, and Utah developing significant on-site capacity, mostly from combined-cycle gas plants. The main argument is speed to power. Building your own generation allows data centers to sidestep the challenges involved in grid upgrades, transmission, and permitting.  But when does a good idea jump the shark? In this episode, Shayle brings Brian Janous back on the show to talk about why a data center might not want to colocate generation. Brian is co-founder and chief commercial officer at data center developer Cloverleaf Infrastructure. He makes the case for relying on alternatives instead, like batteries, grid-enhancing technologies (GETs), advanced conductors, and a range of other non-generation options to take advantage of untapped capacity in the existing grid. Shayle and Brian cover topics like: Whether 24/7 loads actually needs 24/7 power and why utilities solve for peaks, not 24/7 needs  The constraints of colocation, including gas constraints, added complexity and cost, and permitting challenges The complexity of multiple-party solutions involving VPPs, GETs, and other alternatives vs. the relative simplicity of single-party generation  Why both Shayle and Brian are skeptical of on-site nuclear Resources: Catalyst: The case for colocating data centers and generation   Latitude Media: AEP, Dominion argue there's no such thing as ‘isolated' colocation for data centers   Catalyst: Explaining the ‘Watt-Bit Spread'   Catalyst: The potential for flexible data centers   Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

Populism is in the air, providing unique opportunities and challenges to the Left. On this episode of Confronting Capitalism, Vivek Chibber discusses how populist sentiment — popular anger at elites and a demand for economic redress — helped socialists reinsert economics back into politics. Recent electoral victories, such as Zohran Mamdani's win in the New York City Democratic primary, have shown the success of centering material demands with widespread appeal. While not populist in the classic sense, campaigns like Mamdani's have been able to harness this broader mood of popular discontent. The strategy is not without its limitations, but it holds important lessons for how the Left can reshape a political environment that has been hostile to workers for decades.
