Known as the “Elf,” this innovative solar-electric bicycle vehicle is redefining transportation. Weighing just 160 pounds yet capable of carrying 550 pounds, the Elf offers a sustainable and affordable alternative to cars.“What's amazing is that the Elf gets the equivalent of 1,800 miles per gallon,” Rob explained during today's episode. “And in sunny parts of the country, many customers have told us they've never even needed to plug it in—they've powered it entirely by sunlight for years.”Designed for practicality, the Elf provides all-weather protection and enough room for a passenger and a dozen bags of groceries. Because it's legally classified as a bicycle, no license, insurance, or registration is required. It's a solution designed not just for environmentalists but for anyone looking to save money, reduce their carbon footprint, and enjoy a healthier lifestyle.Although Rob and his team achieved remarkable early success, challenges with investors forced the company into a period of rebuilding. Now, Organic Transit is poised for a comeback, raising capital via a regulated crowdfunding campaign on WeFunder. Rob shared how crowdfunding aligns perfectly with the company's mission and values: “The population overall—the retail consumers—have been our biggest advocates. If we had done an equity crowdfunding campaign earlier, it would have been a perfect fit.”Priced at $7,500 for the base model, the Elf is not only affordable but also pays for itself quickly. Rob shared stories of customers who reported saving $8,000 annually by using the vehicle instead of a car.In today's episode, Rob's passion for creating a sustainable future was contagious. With the Elf's proven technology and a growing community of supporters, Organic Transit is ready to redefine what vehicles can be. For those interested in supporting this exciting venture, you can learn more and invest at s4g.biz/organic.tl;dr:Rob Cotter explained how the Elf's design combines solar power, practicality, and bike-like efficiency.Organic Transit delivered 800 Elfs globally before challenges forced the company into rebuilding mode.The Elf costs $7,500, pays for itself quickly, and doesn't require insurance or registration.Organic Transit is now raising capital via crowdfunding to relaunch the Elf.Rob shared how his environmental vision fuels his passion for creating sustainable transportation solutions.How to Develop Environmental Vision As a SuperpowerRob's superpower is his ability to activate environmentalism into actionable, innovative solutions. As Rob explained, “I've been an environmentalist forever… I have this understanding of what an efficient vehicle should and can be, and I've worked to bring the public's passions together with the mission of the company.” This unique combination of environmental commitment and technical expertise has allowed him to create groundbreaking solutions like the Elf, which reduces pollution while promoting healthier lifestyles.Illustrative Story:Rob shared how decades of experience with innovative vehicles combined with his environmental activism led to the creation of the Elf. He drew inspiration from lightweight designs in bicycles, aircraft, and boats, ultimately reimagining what a vehicle could be. By integrating solar power and practical aerodynamics, he created a vehicle so efficient that some customers in sunny regions have powered their Elfs solely with sunlight for years.Tips for Developing This Superpower:Develop expertise in a field that aligns with your values, like Rob's work with vehicles.Combine technical skills with a passion for environmental causes to create innovative solutions.Align your work with the public's values to build support for your vision.Reimagine existing paradigms—don't let traditional boundaries limit your creativity.Think globally but act locally; start with practical, small-scale solutions that can scale up.By following Rob's example and advice, you can make environmental vision a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileRob Cotter (he/him):CEO/ Founder, Environmental Transit AuthorityAbout Environmental Transit Authority: Organic Transit (OT) designs, builds and distributes the cleanest, most efficient vehicles on the planet. ELF is the cornerstone of the company but there are several vehicles smaller and larger than the ELF currently in the prototype phase. Environmental Transit Authority (ETA) is the parent company and was formed to acquire OT and serve as a platform to offer other sustainable transportation solutions.Website: organictransit.comCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/organictransitOther URL: wefunder.com/organictransitBiographical Information: Rob Cotter, founder and CEO of Organic Transit, where we design and build solar-powered, enclosed pedal-assist vehicles that combine the practicality of a car with the efficiency of a bicycle. My work is driven by a simple question: why are we using multi-ton vehicles to move 200-pound people? I've been building innovative human-powered and solar vehicles for decades. Early in my career, I served as Vice President of the International Human Powered Vehicle Association, where I oversaw cutting-edge designs and races for bicycles now capable of exceeding 90 mph. I also directed the first U.S. solar car race in 1988 and contributed to projects that inspired modern electric vehicles, drones, and hydrofoils. Before launching Organic Transit, I worked with Porsche, led multimedia projects as a creative director, and ran human rights and environmental campaigns with Anita Roddick, combining technical skill with storytelling and advocacy. Other clients: IBM, Lexus/Nexus, and Environmental Advisor to Gov. Jerry Brown. In 2012, I founded Organic Transit and began developing the ELF, a three-wheeled, solar-powered Pod vehicle with an advanced polymer body and lightweight, aircraft aluminum chassis, 1 horsepower, and an efficiency equivalent of 1,800 miles per gallon. Over the years, we delivered 850 vehicles across 15 countries, accumulating over 10 million miles of user experience feedback. Many of our ELFs are still in daily use today, highlighting the durability and versatility of the design. After a challenging period of ownership transitions, I reacquired the company and am now leading a comeback with ELF 3.0, incorporating over a decade of learning and community insights. Our shop is fully solar-powered and off-grid, reflecting our commitment to sustainability. I'm passionate about making safe, practical, and sustainable mobility accessible to everyone, and believe crowdfunding and community engagement are key to scaling this vision. Organic Transit is about building a resilient, green transportation future.LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/rob-cotterSupport Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

Do you find traditional meditation impossible because your brain won't stop buzzing? Are you terrified of "zoning out" while driving?In this special "Active Alertness" episode of Calming Anxiety, we break the biggest rule of meditation: We keep our eyes open.Designed specifically for the daily commuter, this session transforms your car or train ride from a source of stress into a tool for focus. Instead of trying to empty your mind, we give your brain a job to do—using tactile grounding and visual engagement to hack your nervous system into a state of calm alert.In this 10-minute session, you will learn:The "Safety First" Protocol: How to meditate while keeping your eyes strictly on the road.Tactile Grounding: Using the steering wheel or floor as an anchor to stop anxiety spiraling.The "Color Quest": A neurodivergent-friendly visual game to sharpen focus and replace intrusive thoughts.The "Red Light Reset": How to reframe traffic jams and stops as biological reset buttons for your stress levels.⚠️ SAFETY NOTE: If you are driving, your eyes must remain open and focused on the road at all times. Your safety is the primary meditation.⏱️ Timestamps:00:00 – Intro: Why standard meditation fails commuters01:00 – Safety Disclaimer (Eyes Open!)01:30 – Phase 1: Tactile Grounding (The Anchor)03:00 – Phase 2: Visual Engagement (The Color Game)05:30 – Phase 3: Reframing "The Stops" (Red Lights as Resets)07:50 – The Arrival Protocol: Transitioning to your day09:15 – Final thoughts with MartinConnect with Martin: I'm Martin, a Clinical Hypnotherapist and the creator of Calming Anxiety.

In this session, we address a critical strategic error many patients make when undergoing spinal decompression treatments like IDD therapy. It is common for clinics to advise pausing rehabilitation exercises during the initial weeks of treatment. However, we argue that building spinal stability and strength should happen concurrently—or even beforehand—to protect the spine during the travel to and from the clinic. We discuss how to strategically schedule decompression sessions, ideally placing them after your heaviest workout days (like Phase 3 or Phase 4 squat sessions) to utilise the treatment as a recovery tool rather than a passive cure.We also dive deep into the metabolic requirements of healing a herniated disc or recovering from sciatica. A significant topic discussed is the use of creatine monohydrate; specifically, dispelling the marketing myths surrounding expensive "women-specific" supplements. We explain why standard creatine is essential not just for muscle growth, but for cognitive function and recovery. Furthermore, we warn against maintaining a steep calorie deficit during rehabilitation. Healing nerves and building tissue is an energy-expensive process, and insufficient nutrition can lead to increased delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and stalled progress.Finally, we cover essential technique corrections for the squat and hip hinge to prevent neck pain, using the "pike" analogy to maintain a true neutral spine. We also tackle the misconception of "weak knees" in older adults, explaining why leg strengthening is the solution, and provide a guide on the absolute essentials for a home gym setup that allows for long-term progression without filling your house with equipment.

The idea of commuting Ghislaine Maxwell's sentence is beyond disgusting—it's an insult to every survivor who suffered under the Epstein machine. This isn't some white-collar embezzler or a tax cheat; this is a woman convicted of trafficking children, grooming them, and serving them up to one of the most vile predators in modern history. To even whisper about leniency for her is to spit in the faces of those victims who were silenced, manipulated, and destroyed by a system that already failed them once. It's not just tone-deaf—it's moral rot at the highest level, a grotesque display of how the powerful still find ways to protect their own while pretending justice has been served.Entertaining this conversation at all makes a mockery of accountability. It confirms everything people like me have been shouting for years: the Epstein network was never dismantled—it was managed, protected, and slowly buried under “procedures” and “reports.” If this administration, or any administration, has the gall to let Maxwell walk free, it won't just be a betrayal—it'll be proof that the cover-up has come full circle. You don't commute the sentence of a predator's enabler; you keep her exactly where she belongs: behind bars, staring at the walls she helped build for others.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

This was an Instagram and YouTube Live Discussion: A police chief allegedly living out of state lit up the news cycle, but we wanted to slow down and ask better questions: What do the policies say? What are taxpayers actually paying for? And in a 24/7 profession built on phones, CAD, RTCC feeds and command calls, does a zip code define leadership—or do results?We share a candid, on-the-ground perspective from two decades in patrol, training, and the real-time crime center. You'll hear why firefighters sleeping at stations has long been normal, how some departments allow rotations with clear approvals, and where residency rules draw bright lines. Then we get practical: how FTO programs work when done right (volunteers, stipends, documented feedback), how bad habits often stem from training gaps, and why culture change starts with consistent standards and visible accountability.From there, we go deep on technology that shapes modern policing. Learn how an RTCC taps into body-worn cameras, drones, and city systems to protect officers and civilians in real time. Understand why audit logs, short retention windows, and transparent policies matter for tools like LPRs. And get a straight take on body cams: activate on dispatch, no muting, let redaction happen later. The same systems that increase power also record its use—and that's a feature, not a bug, when communities demand trust.We also tackle listener questions: what discipline looks like for camera lapses, why tech doesn't replace judgment, and how leadership presence is about availability, not street-side cameos. If you care about policy, training, technology, and the line between optics and outcomes, this conversation brings clarity without the spin.If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review.

Ryan Short — author of the new book The Civic Brand, and founder of place-branding firm Civic Brand — joins the show this week for a discussion on how cities can more meaningfully define their brand. The term has been used and overused in almost every industry imaginable, and yet, Ryan argues the importance of the idea at its root.

Things are a little tough out there. So you, want, no need, more examples of fight and progress you can actually see and touch and feel. And in these series of conversations, in partnership with our best friends at Run for Something, we are giving you exactly what you asked for.Each episode features two guests, both sourced from the Run for Something pipeline and graduating classes, the next generation of American leaders. First, I'll introduce one young elected official at the state or local level who's made real, measurable progress on an issue facing more Americans than ever before.And then in the same conversation I'll introduce a bright-eyed candidate currently running for a state legislature, mayor, city council, or school board, who's similarly hell bent on attacking the very same issue in their own hometown or state. And for all you know, it could be yours. Or yours next, because you and I will find out together what they're working on and why, where they've made progress, where they've struggled, and how their exact tactics and strategies can be transferred to other schools, towns, cities, and states across the country.First up today our topic: transit. We need way more of it. We used to have more of it. We need it to be more reliable, and we need it to be more affordable.Our incumbent, New York State Senator Andrew Gounardes was born and raised in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Following Superstorm Sandy Andrew co-founded Bay Ridge Cares, an organization that prepared 25,000 hot meals for victims after the storm, and as a member of the Rider's Alliance, he organized and formed the Concerned R-Train Riders to fight for better service and demand handicapped accessible subway stations in South Brooklyn. Andrew also worked with Bay Ridge Advocates for Keeping Everyone Safe or BRAKES and successfully pressured lawmakers to allow speed cameras in school zones, a fight he continues to wage all the way to Albany. Our candidate, Miranda Schubert is a candidate for Tucson City Council, Ward 6. Miranda works full-time as an operations manager, on-air DJ, producer, and youth broadcasting camp counselor at KXCI Community Radio. She serves on two City of Tucson Commissions, is the founder of Tucson for Everyone, a local housing and transit advocacy group, and helped form the transit for all coalition there.So you've got two amazing humans here fighting for more, more affordable, and safer transit, for more of our neighbors. Let's go find out what it means for their hometowns and yours.-----------Have feedback or questions? Tweet us, or send a message to questions@importantnotimportant.comNew here?

Hey friend — if you spend any amount of time in your car, this episode is for you.I don't know about you, but my commute has become sacred time — the space where I think, dream, and reset. And while some days it's filled with podcasts and playlists, other days it's just quiet — a moment to breathe before I step into whatever's next.Today, I want to help you find the purpose and peace in your own commute — whether you're heading into work, running errands, or driving home after a long day. We'll talk about how to turn your drive into the prep zone for your day, a tunnel to unwind, and a pocket of intentional time that you can actually look forward to.
