In their early days, data centers were largely welcomed by communities who saw their arrival as an economic boost. Today as concerns around noise levels, power prices, water use, and AI grow, they face fierce opposition. In this episode, Shayle speaks to Brian Janous, co-founder and chief commercial officer of Cloverleaf Infrastructure. Together, they unpack the data center backlash and  explore how the industry can approach the problem differently. Shayle and Brian dive into specifics like: - Communities' shift from “red carpets to pitchforks” on data center development - How misleading information about data center energy and water usage has led to the AI sector losing the public relations battle  - Distinctions between data centers' micro-level benefits and macro-level price inflation on power grids - The potential, and pitfalls, of "bring-your-own-capacity" and behind-the-meter generation - The viability of taking data centers off-grid, off-land, or off-planet - The emerging market for distributed edge compute facilities Resources: - Catalyst: When to colocate data centers with generation - Catalyst: Explaining the ‘Watt-Bit Spread' - Open Circuit: The off-grid data center fantasy - Open Circuit: Utilities are in the crosshairs of the data center backlash - Latitude Media: In Indiana, an anatomy of data center opposition Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

Connect With ChazNeb Aynu was the top producer at his corporate bonding firm when he was let go. He had planned to start Kingdom Bonding in five years, at 35. Instead, he started it the same month. He moved in with his sister. He put his apartment on Airbnb. He put his car in a rental program. He walked places in the rain. His budget was under $100 a month. He worked 70 to 80 hours a week.In year one, Kingdom Bonding became one of the few minority-owned bonding-only agencies in the country. And Neb's contractors became something closer to family.In this conversation with Chaz Wolfe, Neb breaks down what bonding actually is and why it is the key to contractor success with government and large commercial contracts, how he built courage through David Goggins, forgiveness, and faith to turn the worst moment of his career into his biggest opportunity, and why he believes the real cause of America's wealth gap is not what most people think.Key Takeaways:Bonding is an insurance product for contractors doing work with federal, state, local, or general contractors. Without it, you cannot get the contract. Most contractors in the minority construction community do not know how to get bonded. That is the gap Neb is closing.Getting fired as the top producer taught Neb one thing: it was not about his work or his clients. It was about the box. Some people are not built for the box. Going all in on your own business becomes obvious when every other door closes.Neb prayed one prayer: close every single door so it is obvious I have to start Kingdom. God answered it. Every recruiter offered him insults. He incorporated May 13th.You cannot suppress pain as a man. You have to feel it, and then do something with it. Every time Neb felt bad, he worked harder. He channeled the frustration into the business until forgiveness replaced bitterness in November.Never Finished by David Goggins changed his headset from victim to victor. He listened to it the same month he incorporated. The timing was not a coincidence.Bitterness eats the person holding it. Forgiveness is not for the other person. It is for you. Neb had to go through a full forgiveness chapter to get his health and sanity back after the intensity of year one.The one decision that drove early success: give without expecting anything back. Neb creates weekly newsletters, weekly content, and weekly posts. He connects contractors who cannot benefit him personally. He educates the community for free. The relationships came back as clients and as brothers.The wealth gap is a mindset problem first and a knowledge gap second. Communities stuck in a scarcity mindset do not know what they do not know. Neb's mission is to teach minority contractors exactly how to get bonded, win federal contracts, and build real wealth, then watch them go back and teach the next person.Entrepreneurship is not an ethnicity thing. It is a mindset thing. But the stats show that the scarcity mindset is disproportionately concentrated in certain communities. Fixing that requires specific knowledge being delivered to specific people consistently.Serve people and connect them to each other, even when you get nothing out of it. Business is people to people to people. That is how growth happens.If you are a contractor business owner doing $1M+ and you feel stuck in the day-to-day, we built GTK for you.Through peer mastermind and 1:1 coaching, we help you:increase profitinstall real systemsbuild a team that runs the businessget your time backVisit www.gatheringthekings.com for information on how to apply.Connect with Chaz Wolfe (Host):WebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInYouTubeProfit Starts with Better Books!Clean books.

Episode 262: Flock cameras are becoming a common sight in communities across the country, but the technology behind them raises a larger question: How much surveillance should people accept in exchange for greater public safety? In this episode of “The Ethical Life,” hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada examine the growing debate over automated license plate readers, which use artificial intelligence to capture and search information about vehicles traveling on public roads. Supporters say the cameras can deter crime, locate stolen vehicles, find missing people and help police solve serious cases. Critics worry that the same technology can create detailed records of people’s movements and place enormous amounts of information in the hands of governments and private companies. Rada makes the case that the technology itself is not the central problem. He argues that society already entrusts institutions with highly sensitive information, particularly electronic medical records, while using laws such as HIPAA to restrict access and punish misuse. He believes a similar system of strict rules, audits and penalties could allow communities to preserve the crime-fighting benefits of Flock cameras while reducing the danger of abuse. Kyte is more skeptical. He agrees that the cameras can make communities safer in the short term and acknowledges that some objections to the technology are weak. But he argues that the larger issue is the rapid concentration of information and power. New technologies are developing much faster than governments are creating policies to govern them, he says, and safeguards only work when citizens trust the institutions responsible for enforcing them. That disagreement becomes the heart of the episode. Rada sees misuse as a serious but manageable problem: Create strong rules, hold police officers to a high standard and impose meaningful consequences when someone abuses access. Kyte worries that even relatively rare abuses can destroy public trust, making the entire system less effective. By the end, both hosts agree that Flock cameras can provide real public-safety benefits. Where they differ is over whether society can build trustworthy safeguards quickly enough to justify keeping the technology in widespread use — or whether the growing concentration of surveillance power is itself a reason to slow down.

283: Most land developers sell lots. TJ Visiodei is trying to build something much bigger.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/283)In this episode, I sit down with the founder and CEO of ACTS Decentralized Real Estate to understand how he acquires massive ranches, divides them into 5- to 15-acre parcels, and builds communities around land ownership, food production, off-grid utilities, family, faith, and long-term resilience.TJ explains why his buyers are not primarily motivated by saving money. They want independence, control over essential resources, and neighbors they can count on when life gets difficult.We also get deep into the mechanics of his land development strategy. TJ shares how his first project obtained 104% hard-money financing, how he paid off a $4 million land loan in six months, and how 12 families helped provide the equity needed to acquire a nearly $13 million property.We discuss why ACTS usually pays a seller's full asking price, what TJ negotiates instead of price, how pre-reservations guide market selection, and why he has never studied a market's absorption rate.TJ also explains his “Whole Foods rule,” his “Tinder rule” for identifying exceptional properties, and how ACTS can establish land values far above the surrounding comparable sales.This conversation goes beyond land investing. It explores what happens when a company makes its values inseparable from its product, why clearly expressed beliefs can attract stronger customers and employees, and what real community looks like during a personal crisis.

Usama Dakdok is the founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He's the speaker on Revealing the Truth About Islam and founder of The Straight Way of Grace Ministry. Usama speaks fluent Arabic and has translated the Qur'an in English. He is the author of Exposing the Truth About the Qur'an and Exposing the Truth About Jihad as well as the booklets, The Violent Truth About Islam and The Straight Way to Eternal Life. JihadWatch recently reported that "Islamic organizers are advancing a nationwide plan to back Muslim and other Islamic-friendly candidates with financing from a potential political war chest of more than $140 million a year in mosque and other donations from the swelling Muslim-American community." Indeed there is a surge of Islamic candidates representing Islamic interests as the Islamification of the United States is underway. Communities across the country are in controversy regarding the establishment of more mosques and Islamic Centers. It's important to listen to what Muslims are saying such as Imam Siraj Wahhaj, a former vice president of the Islamic Society of North America. He said: "Democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing, and the only thing that will remain will be Islam." He went on to say: "Muslims in America are the most strategic Muslims on Earth. If you get involved in politics, you have to be very careful that your leader is for Allah. You don't get involved in politics because it's the American thing to do. You get involved in politics because politics are a weapon to use in the cause of Islam.

In the latest episode of the Theory of Change podcast, Nazanin Ash, CEO of Welcome.US, discussed how community-driven sponsorship could revolutionize refugee resettlement, bypass political gridlock, and offer a scalable alternative to overburdened government systems. Global forced displacement is at an all-time high, and standard, bureaucratic response models are failing to keep pace. Ash argued that mobilizing local communities rather than relying solely on government aid can unlock massive potential and provide orderly, human-centered pathways for newcomers. The problem: Traditional global systems are built for short-term, state-versus-state displacement, but modern conflicts — predominantly civil wars — are protracted, lasting decades on average. As a result, massive, unmanaged crises crowd out long-term development funds. “Civil wars burn forever. They're really tough to resolve. And our international tools for conflict resolution are really bad at solving them,” Ash said. By the numbers: By shifting the focus from a government-managed process to direct community sponsorship, Ash said that Welcome.US demonstrated unprecedented scale during recent crises such as the war in Ukraine: • 800,000 newcomers welcomed by American communities in under three years • Four times as many individuals resettled through private sponsorship than through formal U.S. government pathways over the same timeframe • $7 billion in time and money leveraged directly by local sponsors to pay for travel, housing, and integration • 2 million Americans across 26,000 zip codes participated in sponsoring displaced individuals “The appetite for doing this is so strong. The capacity to do it is so real,” Ash said. Unlike formal government systems that assign refugees to fixed locations based on strict physical requirements, Ash said that private matching platforms allow newcomers to exercise choice and retain dignity. “If you know something about humanitarian crises and forced displacement … what you experience most acutely is the loss of choice and the loss of agency. And of course, nothing about our traditional systems lets you have that choice or agency,” she said. Meanwhile, community members who sponsored families have become active advocates, filing lawsuits, lobbying Congress, and defeating hundreds of anti-immigrant state bills. “Proximity changes what you protect,” Ash said. What to watch: Welcome.US currently operates in the United States, and Ash said the organization has plenty of work on its plate. “But we did purchase the rights to Welcome.world,” she added.

Last Sunday, Aaron Ninaber continued our Communities series with a message titled “Made for Prayer.” Looking at the early church in Acts, Aaron reminded us that prayer was never meant to be only an individual practice, but something we share together as the body of Christ. He encouraged us to move past fear, self-consciousness, and passivity and become a people who pray for one another in everyday life.

How do climate-driven events like wildfires affect tourism in communities like Bend? That’s one of the questions the Oregon State University Sustainable Tourism Lab is trying to answer. A recent analysis examined how wildfire smoke impacted visitor demand. It found that while one or two smoky days may not affect travel plans, people are more likely to reschedule or cancel their trips during prolonged smoke events.    Todd Montgomery is a hospitality professor at OSU and director of the Sustainable Tourism Lab. Nate Wyeth is the chief of staff for Visit Bend. They both join us to talk more about how climate change is affecting communities that depend on tourism dollars.

Welcome to our August episode of “Caregiving Club On Air” podcast (S6, Ep 73) hosted by Sherri Snelling, corporate gerontologist, author and CEO of the Caregiving Club.On this episode we are highlighting the upcoming September 13-19 National Assisted Living Week with our expert guest, Cory Fosco, author of “The Question of When – A Practical Guide To Knowing When It's Time For Assisted Living, Memory Care or Skilled Nursing.”Sherri discusses the following topics with Cory that help family caregivers to prepare to care and also what information they need from those important family conversations around long-term-care plans:·       Many Americans unfortunately believe that Medicare will cover long-term care costs for assisted living for nursing home – also known as skilled nursing facility. Let's review what Medicare does and does not cover. Also, people confuse Medicare and Medicaid so Cory provides a detailed overview of how both programs work and what families need to know.·       Maybe even more important than choices in long-term-care communities is the cost – Cory and Sherri discuss the difference in costs for various senior living options and also provide some great resources to help you research costs.·       Cory reviews a checklist of questions family caregivers should ask their older loved one and also the long-term-care community administrators to help make informed choices.·       The fragmentation and numerous data points families need to make the best choice in long-term care services and communities means not waiting for the crisis when there is no time to plan ahead and especially to save the amount of money needed. It is critical to have the conversation sooner rather than later – Sherri and Cory discuss why this is important for the financial wellness of family caregivers.·       Cory warns that sometime the decision for an older loved one to move into senior living is about the health of the caregiver. Suffering from burnout and health issues of trying to keep your loved one at home with no help can be another reason families need to know the scope of senior care when making these important decisions.WATCH THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE HERE: https://youtu.be/jJq1XAxlpAUThank you for making “Caregiving Club On Air” #3 on the list of top 80 caregiving podcasts!Subscribe on your favorite listening channel or our YouTube channel.

Are Barnes & Noble author events going away? Not exactly. But the days of walking into a bookstore, asking for a signing, and expecting the store to supply the audience are rapidly disappearing—and that may actually be good news for authors who know how to create a compelling event.In this episode, we unpack what's really happening with Barnes & Noble events and the much bigger shift taking place in bookstore marketing. Because bookstores still want authors. They still want events. What they increasingly don't want is a table, a stack of books, and an author waiting for random shoppers to stop by.The question authors need to answer has changed from “Will you host me?” to “Why will people come?”And that distinction matters.We talk about why bookstores need authors to approach events as business partnerships rather than free promotional opportunities, what makes an event worth putting on the calendar, and why the traditional solo signing is often one of the weakest formats you can pitch.Then we get into what does work.For fiction authors, that might mean creating a multi-author genre night, themed reader event, or conversation that gives fans more than one reason to attend. For nonfiction authors, it could be a workshop, panel, demonstration, or locally relevant discussion tied to an issue your community already cares about.We also break down what belongs in a strong Barnes & Noble event pitch—including the piece far too many authors leave out: your plan for getting people there.That means local media, community calendars, book clubs, organizations, newsletters, social promotion, partnerships, and the local relationships you've already started building.And if Barnes & Noble isn't saying yes yet? We explain why libraries, indie bookstores, book clubs, community organizations, and smaller venues can become the proof that makes the next bookstore much more willing to take a chance on you.Because local book marketing compounds. One successful event can lead to another. Booksellers talk. Librarians talk. Communities remember authors who show up prepared, promote professionally, and bring something worthwhile to the room.If bookstore events are part of your marketing plan, this episode will help you stop thinking like an author asking for space—and start thinking like an event partner a bookstore actually wants to work with.If you find this episode useful, subscribe, share it with an author who's trying to land more bookstore events, and leave us a review wherever you listen to podcasts.Send us your feedback!Order Penny's latest book, Think Local Sell Global and start building a book sales strategy you have more control over!

Nearly everyone goes through a traumatic event at least once during their lifetime. Military service members and Veterans are especially vulnerable to the lasting effects of post-traumatic stress due to the nature of their duties and experiences. While this can be a difficult diagnosis to navigate, it is treatable, and social support is one of the leading factors for lasting recovery. Having someone to trust and confide in while feeling heard and validated is a vital part of the healing process. This series on post-traumatic stress disorder explores the presentation and diagnosis of PTSD, its impact on both the Veterans you support and the lives of those around them, and effective treatment modalities, so you'll be better equipped to provide meaningful support. You can find the resource here: https://learn.psycharmor.org/courses/WWP-BHW-PTSD Contact Us and Join Us on Social Media Email PsychArmorPsychArmor on XPsychArmor on FacebookPsychArmor on YouTubePsychArmor on LinkedInPsychArmor on InstagramTheme MusicOur theme music Don't Kill the Messenger was written and performed by Navy Veteran Jerry Maniscalco, in cooperation with Operation Encore, a non profit committed to supporting singer/songwriter and musicians across the military and Veteran communities.Producer and Host Duane France is a retired Army Noncommissioned Officer, combat veteran, and clinical mental health counselor for service members, veterans, and their families.  You can find more about the work that he is doing at www.veteranmentalhealth.com

Perinatal mental health is often a misunderstood landscape shaped by stigma, cultural expectations, and invisible struggles that touch entire families. In this replay episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker sits down with Dr. Kat Kaeni, perinatal mental health certified psychologist, author of The Pregnancy Workbook, and host of the Mom & Mind podcast, to break the silence around postpartum anxiety, depression, OCD, and psychosis. Drawing on her professional expertise and personal experience, Dr. Kat reveals why shame and isolation are so common, how symptoms really show up for new parents, and what makes perinatal mental health distinct from other forms of mental illness. They discuss the myths that keep parents suffering in silence, the real impact of mental health on babies and families, and how therapy and support groups, including free resources from Postpartum Support International, can empower families on the path to healing. Content Warning: This episode includes discussions of perinatal mental health disorders, including postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, and psychosis. Sensitive topics such as intrusive thoughts, stigma, feelings of guilt and shame, and the potential for harm to self or others are addressed. Listener discretion is advised, and we encourage anyone who may be affected by these topics to reach out for support through Postpartum Support International or a trusted healthcare provider.

This week Chris sits down with Lucy Billingsley, Co-founder and Partner of Billingsley Company, the Dallas development firm she started with her husband Henry in 1978. Lucy is the daughter of Trammell Crow, who built the largest real estate development company in America. She left the family business because she did not want to be a minority vote. She and Henry built their own firm instead, and today they run it with their kids. Billingsley plays a longer game than almost anyone in real estate. They buy land 30 or 40 years before the growth arrives and hold it until the market is ready. Cypress Waters alone is 1,300 acres zoned for 10,000 apartments and over 12 million square feet of office. They discuss:• Why every building they develop goes in the kids' names from day one• The rule that keeps siblings from ever voting on each other's deals• The lake at Cypress Waters they bought for 50 cents a foot• The difference between a park people look at and a park people actually use• Why new office space now rents for more than Dallas has ever seen• Where AI is already saving them real money in construction Timestamps(00:00) Intro(00:52) Building a Family Business and Putting Assets in the Kids' Names(05:55) From the Dallas Market Center Into Development(09:15) Picking Land and Staying Ahead of the Growth Wave(14:33) Designing the Public Arena to Make a Place(18:00) Zoning Is an Art, Not a Guarantee(20:52) What Cities Want and What the State Took Away(22:31) The Future of Office and Why Amenities Win(28:44) How They Decide What to Build and Where to Buy Next(33:15) The Events Business and Public-Private Partnerships(36:52) Buying a Lake for 50 Cents a Foot and Draining It(37:54) Construction Costs and the Frozen Single Family Market(42:07) Reinventing Herself and the Cypress Waters Trail(46:37) Going All In on AI === Presented by True North Advisors:True North Advisors is a multi-family office and private wealth advisory firm serving business owners, entrepreneurs, and families since 2000.

What can happen when art carries people across a boundaries they rarely cross?in 2019, a remarkable theater project brought together two very different communities: rural largely white Brussels, Illinois, and the predominantly Black St. Louis-area communities of Normandy and Pagedale, Missouri. Separated by the Mississippi River—and by race, geography, and very different assumptions about one another—they became collaborators in a new version of Shakespeare's As You Like It.Under the direction of artist/activist/educator Kathi Bentley students, teachers, residents, artists, and audiences traveled by bus and ferry between the two communities. Along the way, strangers became castmates, hosts, guests, and friends.This reprise show is the first in a four-episode journey exploring what can happen when artists enter communities, cross into unfamiliar territory, and create the conditions for people to hear and change one another's stories.Threshold Questions and Juicy Quotes:Can collective creation change settled world views?I mean, there are a couple of Mexican families in Brussels. They're no black folks. So, I would always kid that I was like, you know, that's a cute little house, and if I bought that, I'd be okay. Like, yeah. You know, for some of those students, this was prayerfully life changing in how they see folks and communities that are different than them and for our students from Normandy.Can we build lasting bridges between communities separated by race and culture?You've got to have people love each other. You've got to have people like, "Can't wait to see you at rehearsal."... because then on stage, I got your back ... that experience it was so affirming to me about the power of just having people just talk to each other, you know, so they fell in love with each other. I fell in love with them. What kind of leadership grows community ownership and accountability? I'm humbled by the whole experience. You know, because often people don't know or really care who the director is, and that's okay. That's my goal. So, it's nice to just be on the ferry and nobody know what my roll was in it and hear people like, this is so cool. Oh my gosh, I can't believe we're doing this.Notable MentionsBlackberry ProductionsSt. Louis Shakespeare Festival: Shakespeare, in the StreetsArt and Upheaval,Wedding Community Play.CHIPS Health: Community Health-In-Partnership Services (d/b/a CHIPS Health and Wellness Center) is the place where uninsured and underserved people in the St. Louis metropolitan area can receive free primary and preventive health care services.Bread and Roses Missouri An organization with the mission of organizing arts and humanities projects about workers and their families.

It's Past Time for a Mosque Moratorium. There's a growing awareness that the ongoing and accelerating proliferation of Muslim mosques across America is a problem.  Communities are discovering, usually very late in the game, that land has been stealthily purchased and plans submitted to zoning authorities to build large “Islamic centers”. If the applications comply with local ordinances, they are typically approved by local authorities, for example recently in McKinney, Texas.  As a short video at BanSharia.com makes clear, however, the trouble is that such mosques inherently represent national and homeland security threats. From Mohammed's time til now,  sharia-supremacists have used them as facilities to indoctrinate and weaponize Muslim communities and equip, plot and train for violent jihad. There should be an immediate moratorium on further mosque permitting and construction while the magnitude of the present danger posed by those already in operation is investigated and corrective actions taken.  This is Frank Gaffney.

A couple years ago, Roxbury received some of these funds and now Margaretville and Stamford have had their proposals funded. Lissa Harris wrote much of Margaretville's proposal for the Mark Project for what is now called NY Forward. She's also the outreach coordinator for the HUBB, an initiative under the umbrella of the MARK Project that works on increasing people's access to free community programs. HealthCetera producer and host, Diana Mason, RN, talked with Harris about both initiatives and how community members can be engaged with them. This interview first aired on WIOX Radio on August 12, 2026. The post Revitalizing Catskills Communities appeared first on HealthCetera.
