US electricity prices are rising at well above the general rate of inflation. The data center investment boom, by adding to electricity demand, points to further upward pressure in the future. Consumers are feeling the strain, and they want politicians and regulators to do something about it. One proposed solution is that the rules around competitive power markets need radical reform. In this episode, the Energy Gang looks at PJM, the largest power market in the US, and debates a possible way to add to electricity supplies without pushing bills even higher.Host Ed Crooks and regular contributor Amy Myers Jaffe of NYU are joined by Carim Khouzami, Executive Vice President for Transmission and Development at Exelon, one of the largest US utility groups. Carim explains why the landscape of the US power industry has changed fundamentally over the past five years: electricity demand is rising at a pace the sector has not seen in decades, driven by data centres, electrification, and broader economic growth. And that demand surge is colliding with an electricity system that was designed for a very different era.Competitive markets such as PJM were meant to bring down costs for consumers and send the right signals to the industry for new investment. But Carim argues that in many markets, those signals are no longer working as intended. Customers are seeing higher bills and the reliability of the system is under threat. Reserve margins are getting tighter, and the industry is struggling to bring new generation online quickly enough.PJM offers one of the clearest examples of how those tensions are playing out. The region is grappling with soaring demand, especially from data centres, while trying to manage affordability and reliability at the same time. Carim, Amy and Ed explore why PJM has raised concerns with among state governors, federal regulators and the White House. And they explain why its challenges echo similar problems elsewhere.The central issue is about the market structures that will be best able to meet those challenges in the future. How can the next wave of infrastructure can be built in ways that support both the reliability and the affordability of electricity supplies? Carim makes the case that regulated utilities such as Exelon, which are often prevented by state rules from owning generation capacity, should be allowed to run their own power plants. His proposal opens up a wider debate about the future of power markets and electricity systems generally. There is plenty of evidence that competitive markets have delivered benefits for consumers. But can they meet the needs of the new world of AI-driven demand growth? And if not, is utility ownership of power plants the right solution? Amy highlights the risks of overbuilding new power plants, and asks whether alternative solutions such as batteries are being given a fair chance to compete.Carim defends his proposal as the best way to secure reliability and value for customers. The current model is not working, he says, and reform is now the best option. PJM, as it has operated until now, may not be ready for the demands that AI, electrification and the energy transition are about to place on it. Politicians and regulators across the US and around the world will be watching to see how it responds.This episode of Energy Gang is brought to you by ENGIE, the smarter energy supplier.

Local competitive eater Raina Huang aka @rainaiscrazy joined us in-studio today to take on a food challenge from Fat Sal's. She attempted to eat a french dip faster than any of us, and let's just say you have to see it to believe it. Check out today's YouTube livestream to see the video, or check it out on IG @kleinallyshow. We also tried to take on Fat Sal's famous Big Fat Fatty challenge, a massive 13 pound sandwich loaded with cheesesteak, pastrami, five cheeseburgers, chicken fingers, bacon, mozzarella sticks, fried eggs, onion rings, jalapeno poppers, fries, chili, marinara, and signature fat sauce. Could the entire morning show take it down? The answer is no. Jake went to the DMV yesterday to fulfill his punishment for failing the driving test, and because he went on his birthday he turned it into a party, complete with a birthday hat, balloons, a pizza and a full cooler of beer. How long did he make it before security approached? We went into the whole saga & there's a lot of debate on whether or not Jake needs to repeat the punishment. We also tried to determine who the laziest person on the show is during Most/Least (the answer is Klein) and Klein detailed his experience watching The Odyssey in IMAX, a movie he claims was cockblocked by fog.

Ep. 1026 - The talent is there. Players like Trey McBride, Michael Wilson and Marvin Harrison Jr. plus newcomers Jeremiyah Love, Tyler Allgeier and Kendrick Bourne. Again, a lot of talent. That's not the question. Just how that talent meshes with Jacoby Brissett, the offensive line and Mike LaFleur as the playcaller is the question. And that's fair. Recently, Gilberto Manzano from Sports Illustrated and The MMQB visited Cardinals training camp. He sat down with Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman to discuss all the individual talent in Arizona, the need to be more efficient in the run game, the hope that Walter Nolen III and Will Johnson are key building blocks on defense, and, oh yeah, running into Jason Sudekis at the airport. It's a great conversation ahead of the Cardinals' preseason opener.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

See what the team at The Successful Bookkeeper has on right now → Customer experience expert Shep Hyken is back, and this conversation cuts straight to one of the most stubborn problems in the bookkeeping profession: the race to the bottom on price. Shep lays out why competing as a commodity is a choice — and a dangerous one — and gives bookkeepers a practical framework for building client relationships that make price almost irrelevant. Chapters [00:00] Welcome and what has changed [02:35] AI, automation, and human jobs [06:30] The commodity trap explained [10:00] Competing on experience not price [13:00] Panera and moving humans to high-impact roles [16:00] Making routine interactions memorable [19:00] The six-step I'll Be Back framework [25:00] Journey mapping your client touchpoints [28:00] Consistency is what amazing looks like [30:00] Free resources from Shep Hyken The Commodity Trap Is a Choice You Make When a client sees you as a commodity, they're looking at your price, not the value of the experience you deliver. Shep argues that most bookkeepers already have the expertise to serve virtually any client well — so expertise alone no longer differentiates you. "Somebody that views you as a commodity is looking at your price, not just the experience that you have to offer." The solution isn't to slash rates; it's to make the relationship so strong that price becomes a secondary consideration. Competitive pricing and lowest pricing are not the same thing. AI Amplifies Who You Already Are Shep is clear that AI and automation aren't going away, but the firms quietly losing ground are the ones that have over-automated and stripped out the human element. He describes his own CPA firm eliminating his year-end review meeting in favor of a digital questionnaire — and how that single change made him start shopping around. "By going automated and not having that meeting, they just threw themselves into a commodity." The better move is to use automation to absorb the repetitive, low-touch tasks so you have more capacity for meaningful client conversations — not fewer. The Six Questions That Build an "I'll Be Back" Experience Shep walks through his six-step framework for understanding why clients choose you, why they might choose a competitor instead, and how to borrow ideas from outside your industry to raise your own standard. The exercise ends by asking: after everything you've learned, does your answer to "why me?" change? He also points to Amazon's order-confirmation model as an example bookkeepers can adapt — proactive, personal communication that keeps clients informed and feeling looked after. Journey Mapping: Find the Pain Before Your Client Does One of the most practical ideas in this episode is journey mapping every touchpoint a client has with your firm — from how the phone is answered to how the monthly invoice lands. Shep uses the example of restaurateur Will Guidara, who turned paying the bill at a high-end restaurant into a moment guests couldn't wait to tell their friends about. The same thinking applies to bookkeeping: "Find where those memorable opportunities are." There are moments in every client relationship — onboarding, monthly reporting, the annual review — that feel routine to you but could be genuinely memorable for them. Consistency Is What "Amazing" Actually Looks Like Shep closes with a reframe that is easy to miss: you don't need to be dramatically better than the competition. You need to be consistently and predictably better than average. "When that word always creeps in there — they always get back to me quickly, they always have the answers — you are operating above average." Trust is built through repetition, not grand gestures. Clients who can rely on you without having to think about it are clients who never seriously consider leaving.

US office vacancy sits at 13.8% while rents rise and inventory actually shrinks. CoStar's Phil Mobley breaks down the two-tier office market at mid-2026.  Phil Mobley, National Director of Office Analytics at CoStar Group, joins Michael Bull, CCIM to explain why the office headlines and the office market have stopped matching. National vacancy peaked at 14.1% a year ago and now sits near 13.8%, with four consecutive quarters of positive absorption totaling roughly 20 million square feet. For perspective, that full year of demand would have been one decent quarter in 2018.  The supply side is where this cycle breaks from history. New construction starts are running about 5 million square feet per quarter, a generational low, and for the past two quarters CoStar's data shows outright supply contraction: more office space is being demolished or converted than delivered, which has never happened before.  Mobley also corrects the most common misconception about the office recovery. It is not simply Class A winning and Class B losing. Trophy assets, the top 5% of inventory, are performing strongly, and solid B and B-minus buildings serving price-sensitive tenants held up better than most people assume. The real occupancy damage landed on A-minus and B-plus product caught in the middle: not distinctive enough to compete with trophy space, too expensive to compete on price. Also covered: why AI has been an unambiguous demand tailwind so far and the venture-capital risk hiding inside it, why return-to-office gains raise foot traffic without raising space needs, how New York and Dallas preview where the rest of the country is heading, why lease sizes have run 15% below pre-pandemic levels for nearly three years, and the capital markets shift as institutions climb back from 10% to 15% of office deal volume to around 20%, buying buildings to keep them as office. Plus the point every landlord should sit with: the total vacancy number is not the relevant number. Competitive vacancy is, and a landlord without capital to fund tenant improvements does not really have leasable space.

Iowa State Head Coach TJ Otzelberger joins the Slappin' Glass Podcast to discuss building one of college basketball's most disruptive defensive identities.Coach Otzelberger explains why Iowa State prioritizes mentality over scheme, beginning with its commitment to creating a “collision” on the first dribble, pressuring the ball inside the scoring area, and forcing opponents to play under duress. He details the Cyclones' “goalie” and “spy” responsibilities, early baseline rotations, and the habits required to sustain an aggressive defense.The conversation also explores the trade-offs Iowa State accepts—including additional three-point attempts, difficult rotation-rebounding situations, and increased physical demands—in exchange for generating turnovers and controlling the possession battle. Coach Otzelberger breaks down their approach to short-roll defense, why they often prefer the opposing five making decisions, and when a skilled big may require a coverage adjustment.He also discusses competitive endurance and designing practices without lulls, using on-the-fly coaching and continuous competition to reflect the program's identity.In Start, Sub, or Sit, Coach Otzelberger shares the in-game information he values most, how he approaches substitutions and closing lineups, and why a head coach's primary responsibility is refocusing the team on the next possession.The episode closes with offensive decision-making, how physical defense strengthens offensive habits, adapting identity to different programs, and why the greatest investment a coach can make is being fully present with their players.What You'll LearnHow Iowa State teaches a collision on the first dribble.The responsibilities of the “goalie” and “spy” within its rotations.Why the Cyclones prioritize effort and daily habits over constant adjustments.The defensive trade-offs they accept to create turnovers and win possessions.How they defend the short roll and force opposing bigs to make decisions.Why competitive endurance begins with the design and pace of practice.Which information Coach Otzelberger values most during games.How he approaches substitutions and chooses the five players who finish.Why decision-making is the offensive quality that travels best.How a physical defensive identity improves cutting, driving, and transition offense.Why a program's identity must fit its players, league, and recruiting environment.Why investing time and presence in players remains the most important part of coaching.To join coaches and championship winning staffs from the NBA to High School from over 70 different countries taking advantage of an SG Plus membership, visit HERE!

Bloomberg reported that Amazon recorded its fifth straight quarter of cloud sales growth, signaling a shift from optimization to new workloads. AWS is emphasizing generative AI services such as Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Q, and Amazon SageMaker, supported by custom chips Trainium and Inferentia. Amazon previously committed up to $4 billion to Anthropic, positioning Claude models on Bedrock against Microsoft's OpenAI alignment and Google Cloud's Vertex AI. AWS continues to use multi-year enterprise agreements, Savings Plans, and reserved capacity while co-selling with partners. Enterprises are focusing on FinOps practices, data gravity, and procurement leverage as AI pilots move to production. Competitive moves by Microsoft and Google are shaping pricing and features as customers plan 2026 cloud budgets.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Shein has pursued an IPO for three years while facing scrutiny from the US Securities and Exchange Commission and bipartisan lawmakers over forced labor compliance and de minimis shipping. After a 2023 confidential US filing, the company explored a London listing in 2024 and 2025, where UK officials also raised concerns. Executive chairman Donald Tang led outreach as Shein emphasized compliance programs, audits, and its 2021 move to Singapore. Competitive pressure intensified from PDD Holdings' Temu and TikTok Shop, affecting acquisition costs and market share dynamics. Reported valuations shifted from near $100 billion in 2022 to about $66 billion in 2023, with some 2024 secondary sales below prior marks. The prolonged process has delayed liquidity for investors and employees and underscores that founders must prepare for multi-jurisdictional compliance, dual-track exits, and venue choices shaped by politics.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back to FUT in Review #739! Today, John and Homer (Graeme) reunite after a well-deserved one-week breather to break down the first official gameplay details released by EA Sports. Moving away from pure real-life football, the duo dissects the deep-dive pitch notes and six-minute trailer to explore what competitive FUT 27 mechanics will actually look like on the pitch.We break down the technical updates and system shifts unfiltered:The Manual Defending Overhaul: EA is attempting to dial back AI-controlled defenders in competitive play. AI teammates will no longer win possession outright for you or boast extreme interception radiuses; instead, manual input gets a wider reach and better tackles. John and Homer debate whether EA will hold their ground or "patch the life out of it" five weeks in like previous years when the casual player base complains about conceding goals.The Corner Kick & Crossing Rework: Long-standing short corner metas might finally be challenged. A new camera transition during corners gives players a brief window to trigger "avoidance" mechanics, shield, and manually attack space in the box. Coupled with a complete crossing overhaul that replaces assisted trajectories with space-targeted deliveries, crossing into the box might actually be viable again.New L1 & R1 Trigger Mechanics: The team breaks down the newest controller additions. By tapping both L1 and R1 (LB & RB) simultaneously, players can now trigger curved runs to exploit spaces behind high-line center-backs. Additionally, EA is capping the distance of manual-triggered runs to prevent unauthentic 80-yard fullback overlaps that force opponents into low-block six-at-the-back systems.Off-Balance Dribbling & PlayStyles: Powered by physical attributes, elite dribblers will now stumble through shoulder challenges and body bumps without instantly losing control. Plus, EA has narrowed the gap between regular PlayStyles and PlayStyle+ traits to make early-game starter cards far more useful.⏱️ MID-SHOW HYDRATION BREAK

Matt Archbold is one of the most influential free surfers of all time, a surfing icon whose radical approach helped redefine modern performance surfing long before free surfing became its own career path. On this episode of The Lineup with Dave Prodan, Archy joins the show to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Point Break and reflect on a career that forever changed surfing. Archy shares behind-the-scenes stories from filming the Kathryn Bigelow cult classic, including working alongside Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze, Lori Petty, and the rest of the cast & crew, why Point Break has endured as one of the few Hollywood surf films embraced by surfers, and what it was like returning to film a special introduction for the movie's new 4K theatrical re-release. The conversation also dives into Archy's groundbreaking competitive career, why his progressive surfing often outpaced the judging of the era, his decision to forge his own path as a free surfer, the influences that shaped his unmistakable style, and why his love for surfing has never faded. Dave and Archy also discuss the evolution of competitive surfing and look forward to Archy competing at the Express Session at the Trestles Pro later this year!

"I'm not really competitive, but..." — and then they describe driving hours to a trial, spending hundreds on entries, and losing sleep over a Q rate. Sound familiar? This episode is about why handlers reject the competitive label, what it's actually costing them, and why reclaiming that word might be one of the most important identity shifts a handler can make. Competitive doesn't mean cutthroat. It means you care. And that's allowed.

Welcome back to the Ern and Iso Podcast!In this episode, the duo dives into the phenomenon that has become "Streaming University" and breaks down how Kai Cenat and the new generation of creators are changing the entertainment industry. Ern and Iso discuss the power of collaboration, why today's biggest streamers are building together instead of competing against one another, and what traditional media can learn from their success.The conversation then shifts back to hip hop as Iso gives his thoughts on the recent back-and-forth involving 38 Speshand Jadakiss. Is it wrong for an artist to believe they had the better verse? Has hip hop lost some of the competitive spirit that made the culture what it is? The duo weighs in on confidence, legacy, fan perception, and how these debates continue to shape the genre.As always, the conversation goes beyond the headlines with honest opinions, plenty of laughs, and real discussion.Topics Include:

Episode # 156: Most SWOT analyses fail for one simple reason: they end as a four-quadrant chart instead of becoming a set of decisions. I'm breaking down how to run a strategic SWOT assessment that actually changes what you do next so you can outperform competitors over the next three to five years, not just document what you already know.We walk through what SWOT analysis is really for in modern strategic planning: clarifying your competitive position, surfacing vulnerabilities early, spotting emerging market trends, and choosing investment priorities when capital, time, and leadership attention are limited. I also explain why SWOT can't be a solo assignment. It needs executive sponsorship and real input across the business, from sales and marketing to operations, IT, HR, legal, accounting, and finance, so you get an honest view of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.From a finance leader perspective, I share how CFOs and FP&A teams can anchor the process in data instead of opinion, using profitability analysis, cash flow trends, ROIC, retention, productivity, and operating metrics to test assumptions. We dig into scenario planning and sensitivity analysis to model uncertainty, then cover how to convert SWOT themes into a strategy plan with clear owners, resources, milestones, KPIs, and business outcomes. Finally, we talk about where AI can accelerate research, competitor benchmarking, and trend detection without replacing executive judgment.Episode outline: Why Every Organization Needs a Strategic SWOT assessment,Building the Right SWOT Analysis Team and Value-added Process,Converting your SWOT assessment Into a Strategy plan.Please connect with me on:1.

Enterprise AI is easy to demonstrate. The real test begins when a promising POC meets production costs, security requirements, data movement, latency, and internal adoption.Shimon Ben-David, CTO at WEKA, joins Amir to discuss the gap between experimenting with generative AI and operating it at scale. They explore how classical AI differs from generative AI, why production exposes problems that demos hide, and how companies with limited AI maturity can start building useful internal capability.Practical Takeaways• A successful POC proves that an outcome is possible. It does not prove that the system will be affordable, secure, reliable, or fast at scale.• Enterprise AI adoption reaches across infrastructure, engineering, data, security, and business teams. It cannot be owned by one group in isolation.• Adding more GPUs will not fix slow data access, poor utilization, weak pipelines, or an experience users do not want to use.• External support can help, but the person or firm involved needs to stay through implementation and production, not stop at recommendations.• Companies that are behind should begin with proven use cases, build internal experience, and quickly stop experiments that fail to show value.Key Moments00:00 Why moving enterprise AI into production remains difficult01:55 The difference between classical AI and generative AI adoption07:05 How companies can use AI without having a formal AI strategy11:35 Why successful POCs often struggle when they reach production17:35 Competitive pressure, AI FOMO, and the need to calculate real ROI22:00 Why AI adoption requires cross organizational change33:10 Where a company with limited AI maturity should beginOne Line That Stuck“The promise is there.

Ed and Richard swap stories from a week filled with thunderstorms, flight delays, rental car headaches, and what may be one of the worst Hyatt Place stays either of them has experienced. Richard recounts an unforgettable late-night arrival that included multiple defective rental cars, a chaotic hotel check-in, broken room amenities, and an experience that ultimately prompted him to complete a hotel survey for the first time in years. The conversation also takes a closer look at why American Airlines has quietly become Richard's airline of choice over the past several weeks. Between competitive first-class pricing, consistently excellent onboard service, reliable Wi-Fi, and solid meals, American is making a compelling case while Delta continues to work through operational challenges. Plus, a fascinating discussion about a Lufthansa 787 maintenance mistake, Denver Airport's long-awaited pedestrian tunnels, and Richard's review of the historic Arizona Biltmore.

Every firm competing for talent is saying the same things. Great culture. Exciting projects. Competitive benefits. And candidates can't tell any of you apart. That's the problem James Ellis has built a career solving. In this episode, James breaks down what employer brand actually is (hint: not a campaign, not a vibe, not a careers page redesign) and how midsized companies can build a brand that wins talent without outspending bigger competitors. We get into why most employer brand work is theater, what candidates actually believe about your firm, and how to change what recruiters say and hiring managers reinforce. This one is for AEC firm leaders, TA and HR professionals, and anyone tired of posting jobs into the void and wondering why the right people never apply. About James Ellis: James Ellis is the founder of Employer Brand Labs, where he builds choosable employer brands for mid-market companies in 3 to 5 weeks. He's built employer brands at Webflow, Roku, ASICS, and Telecare over more than 13 years, and he's the bestselling author of Becoming Choosable and Talent Chooses You. Based in Chicago, James describes his stage presence as equal parts strategist and friendly arsonist. Find him at employerbrandlabs.com and on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/thewarfortalent. What We Cover: Introduction and James's background building employer brands at Webflow, Roku, and ASICS Why most companies don't have a hiring problem, they have a differentiation problem What "employer brand theater" looks like and why it fails How midsized firms can compete for talent without outspending the giants What it means to be a "choosable" employer How employer brand shows up in job posts, outreach, career sites, and interviews Why you can rent attention but you can't rent trust Where to find James + closing thoughts Key Takeaways: Employer brand is a system, not a campaign. It changes what candidates believe, what recruiters say, and what hiring managers reinforce. If your job posts could belong to any of your competitors, candidates have no reason to choose you. Midsized firms win talent through clarity and differentiation, not budget. You can't scale a business faster than you can hire the right people. Employer brand work should be usable Monday morning, not next quarter.
