In this episode, Tamara Bond-Williams, Executive Director of Space and Satellite Professionals International (SSPI), speaks with Andreas Nil, Co-Founder and Managing Director of MediaMobil, about how satellite communications at sea have evolved from kilobits to multi-orbit, multi-network systems. The conversation explores how maritime operators use VSAT, GEO, and LEO satellites, global teleport networks, and adaptive gateways to keep ships connected across oceans, ports, and national jurisdictions. Andreas explains how MediaMobil's Multilink Gateway dynamically switches between satellite systems based on cost, performance, regulation, and availability—ensuring reliable connectivity even where LEO coverage is restricted. The episode also examines how satellite connectivity supports mobility, sustainability, and critical operations, from route optimization and emissions monitoring to offshore launch platforms and future 5G and 6G non-terrestrial networks. Throughout, Europe emerges as a laboratory for collaboration, regulation, and trust in satellite systems.

In this episode I'm going to do something a little different. As we wind down for the year, we're going to be running some of our favorites from 2025 until the new year begins.Let's take a look back at some of the overall themes discussed and point out a few highlights for me. I won't be able to highlight everything of course but I found 5 themes really interesting. And, I won't lie - I had a little help from AI in doing this. But that's also kind of the point. We have all been using AI to do things to make our work easier, and I thought that poring through 150+ episodes recorded over 12 months is a perfect thing to have AI help me with.

Colleen Costigan is the co-founder and executive director of BEAM Kenya, an organization built on the belief that every child deserves the chance to heal, learn, and lead. While living a successful corporate life and doing everything "right," a one-month volunteer trip to Kenya redirected her future and became a lifelong commitment now serving thousands of children through education and mental health support. Today, Colleen shares how that one short trip became a lifelong calling, why education alone is not enough to break cycles of poverty, and how trauma-informed mental health care can change the trajectory of a child's life. She opens up about meeting a teenage girl named Faith, whose story reshaped Beam's mission, and how heartbreak, perseverance, and hope all coexist when you choose to serve others in hard places. My friends, if you've ever felt a tug on your heart you couldn't explain… this conversation is for you. You'll leave reminded that small, brave steps can lead to extraordinary impact, that your privilege can become a powerful gift, and that hope is never wasted when it's placed in the hands of love.

America is known across the globe for its military might, but in terms of the number of ships in the United States Navy, it has been overtaken by China in recent years, who now holds the largest naval fleet in the world. This may not remain the case for long however, after President Trump announced on Monday that the military would begin construction on a new line of massive warships. Co-Founder of South & Hill Strategies, Colin Reed, CEO of Schoen Cooperman Research, Carly Cooperman, and FOX News Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram discuss what President Trump's announcement of a new line of warships means, the state of healthcare legislation on the hill, and whether last week's lackluster Epstein file release could be considered Contempt of Congress.

On this special holiday episode of The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief sits down with Doc Brown Farm and Distillery founders Amy Brown and Paige Dockweiler for a conversation rooted in family, farming, and true grain to glass distilling. More than distillers, Amy and Paige are stewards of the land, driven by a shared determination to keep small scale farming alive at a time when doing things the right way is harder than ever. The episode opens with Amy and Big Chief sipping on Effie Jewel, a deeply personal release from a January 2021 crop built on a mash bill of 75% Jimmy Red corn, 10% Abruzzi rye, 10% wheat, and 5% barley. Eight barrels were sent to Galveston in July 2024, where the Gulf Coast climate left its mark before returning home in April 2025 for extended aging. Bottled at 101 proof and limited to 1,900 bottles, Effie Jewel will be allocated across Texas, Georgia, and online, with a major direct to consumer release event at DOMA on February 8. From there, the tasting moves to Southern Ember, followed by Day Swigger, which also serves as the base for both the Honey Expression and Hot Honey Expression. These pours highlight what sets Doc Brown apart. The honey and peppers come straight from the farm, just like the grain, reinforcing a farm first mindset where every ingredient has a story and a purpose. Throughout the conversation, Amy and Paige open up about the grit it takes to keep farming viable. They discuss balancing unpredictable weather, rising costs, regulations, and the physical demands of working the land while building a spirits brand rooted in integrity. Their tenacity shows as they talk about preserving heirloom grains, protecting farmland, educating consumers, and proving that farming and distilling can still coexist without compromise. In the second half of the episode, Paige joins Amy and Big Chief to sip on the Salted Caramel Bourbon Cream and Coffee Bourbon Cream. These rich, comforting pours are perfect for a cold holiday morning or a slow day spent relaxing with family. We hope you have enjoyed the ride throughout 2025 on The Whiskey Trip Podcast. From Woodrow, Ms. Viv, and of course Ol' Big Chief, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Pour something good and take the ride.

In this week's Greatest Hits edition of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, reflects on the deeper meaning of work, beyond the paycheck and the hustle, and explores how our jobs can serve as a spiritual journey. As we wrap up 2025, this episode offers a thoughtful look at the concept of the dignity of work, making the case that how we work - and how we view work - can shape not just our careers, but our character and communities. Darryl shares personal stories, scriptural insights, and life lessons that challenge the cultural narrative of busyness and control. Key highlights of the episode include: • Why work isn't just about making money, and how giving can transform your perspective. • The power of workplace connections and the unexpected moments that reveal human kindness. • How small acts of improvement and growth can make work more fulfilling. • The myth of control in our professional lives, and what it means to truly trust in the long game. • How reframing your understanding of work can lead to less anxiety and more purpose. If you've ever questioned the point of work, or found yourself weighed down by the day-to-day grind, this episode will offer a fresh and encouraging perspective. Whether you're in the thick of your career or mentoring the next generation, Darryl's message is a reminder that work, done with intention, can be one of the most meaningful parts of our lives.

On this episode of  Marni On The Move, I'm joined by Robby Sansom, Co-Founder and CEO of Force of Nature—a company at the forefront of the regenerative agriculture movement and redefining what responsible meat production looks like. In this episode, we unpack the real impact of conventional farming, the hidden costs behind cheap food, and why regenerative agriculture is emerging as a powerful solution—for soil health, animal welfare, human nutrition, and the planet. Robby breaks down how Force of Nature partners directly with ranchers who are rebuilding ecosystems from the ground up, and why transparency and consumer education are essential to fixing our broken food system. We also talk about navigating food labels and marketing claims, the nutritional benefits of regeneratively raised meat, the realities of sourcing and logistics, and how everyday food choices can support ethical practices without compromising access or quality. This is a conversation about food, health, values, and the future—and why the way we eat matters more than we think.

Before you hit play, here's the headline — arguably the biggest in CPG in 2025, and one you already know: PepsiCo acquired better-for-you soda brand Poppi for nearly $2 billion. What follows is a replay of a 2023 Taste Radio interview with founders Allison and Stephen Ellsworth, recorded back when Poppi was still firmly in disruptor mode — scaling fast, breaking rules, and taking direct aim at Big Soda. In the conversation, the Ellsworths trace Poppi's evolution from a scrappy gut-health drink into a modern soda brand built for culture, not compromise. They discuss launching amid the chaos of COVID, betting early on TikTok, and choosing bold cans and great taste over "health-halo" minimalism. The entrepreneurs also share a rare, candid take on founder ego — why they handed the CEO reins to an experienced operator, how they professionalized early, and what it really takes to scale from zero to thousands of doors without losing the magic. Listen closely and you'll hear the blueprint for the PepsiCo deal years before it happened: a brand that tastes great, moves at the speed of culture, wins both online and in-store, and isn't afraid to call itself soda again. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Allison & Stephen Ellsworth, Co-Founders, Poppi – The Ellsworths reflect on Poppi's seven-year journey, from its origins as Mother Beverage to its reinvention as a colorful, prebiotic soda positioned to challenge legacy soda brands. They discuss relocating from Dallas to Austin to tap into a stronger entrepreneurial ecosystem, balancing hypergrowth with family life, and navigating the operational challenges of scaling during the pandemic. The founders also explain their emphasis on professionalizing the business, including their decision to bring in seasoned operator Chris Hall as CEO and redefine their own roles, prioritizing long-term scale over founder ego while maintaining creative control and brand vision. The interview also highlights Poppi's digital-first growth engine, particularly its early and unconventional embrace of TikTok, which helped the brand build massive organic reach, cultural relevance, a deeply engaged community and fueled explosive trial across Amazon and DTC before accelerating Poppi's expansion into retail. Consumer insights reinforced the brand's direction: taste was the number-one driver of trial and repeat, enabling Poppi to confidently reclaim the word "soda" and position itself as fun, nostalgic, and culturally current – while quietly delivering functional benefits like prebiotics and low sugar.

In this episode, Mardi Winder and Ron Platt explore the essential role of support and resources for individuals and families navigating divorce. The focus centers on the National Association for Single and Divorced Families, co-founded by Ron Platt, which takes a comprehensive approach to supporting not only those currently experiencing divorce but also single parents and anyone transitioning through family change.Drawing from his extensive experience in insurance and real estate, and his personal journey as a foster parent, Ron shares the motivations behind establishing the association. He highlights the gaps he witnessed in the systems designed for families, from the struggles within foster care to the challenges faced by his former business partner in escaping an abusive marriage. This firsthand understanding helped shape a service that strives to make the process of divorce less isolating and overwhelming for everyone involved.The discussion covers a variety of practical resources available through the association, from discounted childcare and mental health support to unique solutions such as child support insurance, a product that helps ensure alimony and child support payments continue even if the payer loses their job involuntarily or becomes disabled. Affordable membership gives individuals the flexibility to choose only the services they need without additional obligation.Throughout the conversation, Ron and Mardi emphasize the importance of advocacy, community, and having a strong foundation during times of transition. About the Guest:Ron Platt is the Co-Founder of the National Association for Single and Divorced Families. They provide an umbrella of products, services, support, and resources for people who are getting a divorced, currently divorced or have a single-family household.

Show Notes: Isa D'Elia, co-founder of GoalBridge, an AI startup in stealth mode opens the conversation with a brief overview of her background, mentioning she was at Amazon for five years and her co-founder, Vedant, was a software engineer at a financial institution in India. The Origin Story of GoalBridge Isa met her business partner in Berkeley Haas Business school. Through many discussions, they identified a problem in the consulting industry where consultants spent too much time on admin and manual work. They saw an opportunity to use AI to automate these tasks, leading to the creation of GoalBridge. Isa describes how they started working on GoalBridge, entering accelerators, and doing pivots. GoalBridge Iterations They found a design partner who needed a solution to discover their work within SharePoint, Google Drive, CRM, and email. GoalBridge's first iteration was a search AI agent that taps into various platforms to understand the context of engagements. The tool is called "building the brain of a firm" and has been tested with clients, leading to the development of additional agents. Isa introduces the first agent they built, a proposal building agent, which focuses on storyboarding proposals. Dealing with Non-billable Work Streams Consultants often complain about the tediousness of writing proposals, which are non-billable work streams. The agent helps create cohesive stories for proposals by using information from various sources and allowing iterations. They have a roadmap of additional agents to help consultants focus on strategy work rather than manual tasks. GoalBridge's Ideal Customer Profile When asked about the ideal customer profile for GoalBridge, Isa confirms they are targeting SMBs and tier two consulting firms, as larger firms have the resources to build their own tools. Currently, they have signed letters of intent with larger firms, indicating interest in their solution. The tool is designed to help consultants tap into strategy more effectively by automating manual tasks. Goalbridge's Access to Data The conversation turns to the limitations of GoalBridge in terms of access to data. Isa explains that the tool only accesses data that the user has access to, such as their email and specific folders in Google Drive or SharePoint. The tool acts as an AI agent that can quickly scan and understand the context of the data the user has access to. She talks about the challenges of accessing data that is not organized in SharePoint or Google Drive, such as emails. AI Agent that Writes Case Studies and Compendiums Isa introduces the project closeout agent, which helps partners extract and share information, write case studies and compendiums for projects. The agent anonymizes data and creates a cohesive story from various sources, including emails. This agent addresses the issue of knowledge management being left to good intentions and helps capture project context. The closeout agent can also be used for older projects. Demonstrating GoalBridge Isa shows the tool's interface, which includes a project creation feature, a chat dialog box for queries, and a files tab for uploading documents.   The tool can tap into various platforms like SharePoint, Google Drive, and CRM systems, with current integrations for HubSpot and Salesforce. They talk about the tool's ability to find examples of old projects and provide feedback on proposals. Isa explains the limitations of GoalBridge in terms of access to data. The tool only accesses data that the user has access to, such as their email and specific folders in Google Drive or SharePoint. The tool acts as an AI agent that can quickly scan and understand the context of the data the user has access to. She also talks about the challenges of accessing data that is not organized in SharePoint or Google Drive, such as emails. Primary Use Cases for GoalBridge Isa outlines the primary use cases for GoalBridge, including partners finding examples of old projects, engagement managers leveraging formatting, and associates copying slides. They discuss the potential for the tool to create PowerPoint presentations and provide feedback on them. Isa mentions future agents in the roadmap, such as a case study writing agent and a pricing strategy agent. The tool is designed to help consultants at all levels by automating manual tasks and improving the quality of their work. Security Concerns and Data Privacy On the issue of security and data privacy when giving external firms access to sensitive data, Isa explains that they have a separate server hosting client data, ensuring it is secure and not accessible by other clients. They are working on SOC 2 certification to further assure clients of their security measures. The tool does not train on client data, ensuring IP is protected and not used for other purposes. When it comes to pricing, Isa mentions their willingness to discuss pricing on a case-by-case basis.

In this episode, Wesley Pergament, Co-Founder and CEO of Sola Insurance, joins FNO: InsureTech for an in-depth discussion on how Sola uses objective weather data and a hybrid policy model to address major pain points in property insurance. With roots in disaster recovery and technology, Wesley explains Sola's evolution from a tornado-focused product to comprehensive wind and hail coverage, targeting gaps left by high deductibles and widespread fraud. The conversation details Sola's careful expansion into 15 states through partnerships with vetted agency networks and ongoing engagement with organizations such as Lloyd's, both as coverholder and Lloyd's Lab participant. Key Highlights Inspired by first-hand experience with Hurricane Sandy, Wesley describes Sola's foundation to help communities recover from natural disasters using data and engineering expertise. Sola started by offering tornado-specific parametric coverage before expanding to meet the scale of wind and hail losses, which together cause significantly higher annual damage than hurricanes or wildfires. Sola combines elements of parametric and indemnity insurance, optimizing for accurate, correlated loss response and aligning insurer and policyholder interests. The model leverages detailed weather analytics and property data in claim assessment. The company's core proposition is addressing the growing insurance gap as traditional home policies raise wind and hail deductibles—often above the cost of roof replacement. Sola's data-driven validation reduces exposure to opportunistic claims, supporting more efficient operations and sustainable loss ratios. Sola's claims are managed independently from primary carriers, typically settling within a few days after hail or wind events. The process relies on verified weather data, roof and property characteristics, and photographic evidence. Sola's selective agency strategy prioritizes established, reputable agents and sustained territory and account management support. The distribution approach focuses on quality representation and claims service excellence. Sola's participation in the Lloyd's Lab accelerator and current status as a Lloyd's coverholder have supported product development and reinsurance relationships. Product modeling draws from both proprietary analytics and leading catastrophe models (ISO/Verisk, RMS). State insurance departments, including Oklahoma, have highlighted Sola's program as a potential solution for homeowners facing increased premiums and limited wind and hail coverage.

John Casmon interviews Keith Miller about scaling from small backyard ADU and infill development projects into large-scale modular and manufactured home communities as a way to solve affordability and construction bottlenecks. Keith explains how subcontractor shortages, cost overruns, and timeline risk pushed his team toward factory-built housing, which offers faster delivery, more predictable pricing, and comparable quality to site-built homes. They break down the real differences between manufactured and modular housing, how Freddie and Fannie financing has changed the game, and why these homes can appraise and sell like traditional single-family residences. The conversation also covers Keith's transition from a full-time teaching career to real estate, the importance of building a rental income base before going full time, and how thoughtful development can create both investor returns and meaningful social impact.
