Learn how emerging technologies like the TrueFlow Grid are reshaping industry standards and enhancing home comfort and energy efficiency.You can reach Chris at: chughes@energyconservatory.com Here's the link to Inspector Empire Builder: https://www.iebcoaching.com/eventsTakeawaysAirflow is one of the most common and critical HVAC failures—and it's often never measured.HVAC systems should be commissioned, not assumed to work correctly once installed.Building science bridges the gap between equipment performance and real‑world comfort.Many comfort and moisture issues stem from missing returns, pressure imbalances, and poor duct design.Modern diagnostic tools that measure both pressure and airflow provide clearer, actionable insights.Heat pump technology is evolving rapidly and performing far beyond earlier generations.Makeup air for large kitchen exhaust systems is frequently overdesigned and misunderstood.Codes, insurance requirements, and rising costs are reshaping how HVAC work is done.Long‑term success in HVAC comes from continuous learning, testing, and professional integrity.Technology can amplify great work—but it can't replace sound fundamentals.Chapters00:00  Introduction and Background03:03  The HVAC Industry and Building Science06:00  Chris Hughes' Journey in HVAC08:57  Transitioning to Residential HVAC12:08  The Importance of Education and Mentorship14:59  Innovations in HVAC Tools and Techniques18:09  Current Trends in the HVAC Industry20:56  Challenges and Opportunities in HVAC23:49  The Role of Technology in HVAC26:53  Future of HVAC and Building Performance31:22  The Evolution of HVAC Technology35:00  Understanding HVAC Commissioning38:50  The Importance of Accurate Airflow Measurement40:12  Debunking HVAC Myths44:33  Unusual HVAC Installations and Their Challenges52:24  The Power of Positive Thinking

Steven W. Shields, CMHC, CETII, CECII, is passionate about helping others regain their freedom by healing their root trauma. One of his greatest moments with clients is when he fires them. His hope is to help clients access that inner healing as quickly as possible so they can stop spending time and money in therapy, live the adventure, and experience the joys that life has in store for them. Steven loves dirt biking, Christian rap, and playing Pokémon with his kids. Links Is Mental Health Healing Possible? | An Interview with Steven Shields [ACCEPTED] Watch the video and share your thoughts in the Zion Lab community Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights Steve discusses the importance of community and authenticity within Latter-day Saint congregations, and how to foster genuine connections and address the challenges of secrecy and shame in church settings. Key Insights Community vs. Secrecy: Steven emphasizes the distinction between confidentiality and secrecy. While confidentiality involves honoring individuals’ stories, secrecy can hinder authentic connections and healing. Authenticity in Leadership: Leaders are encouraged to model authenticity by sharing their own experiences and struggles, which can create a safe space for others to do the same. The Role of Therapy: Therapy serves as an artificial container for healing, providing tools and support that individuals may not find within their community. However, true healing often occurs through genuine relationships and community support. Cultural Challenges: Many members feel isolated or disconnected in their wards, often due to fear of judgment. Steven argues that this leads to a culture of silence, where individuals keep secrets rather than seeking connection. Building Connections: Leaders should actively work to create environments where members feel safe to share their struggles, thus fostering a sense of belonging and support. Leadership Applications Encourage Vulnerability: Leaders can promote a culture of openness by sharing their own challenges and inviting members to do the same, which can help break down barriers of shame and secrecy. Facilitate Small Groups: Organizing smaller gatherings or discussion groups can help members connect on a deeper level, allowing for more meaningful conversations and support. Model Authenticity: By being transparent about their own journeys, leaders can inspire others to engage authentically, ultimately strengthening the ward community and enhancing overall unity. 00:03:43 – The Importance of Community 00:04:16 – Current Trends in Therapy 00:05:40 – Managing vs. Healing 00:08:10 – The Role of Worthiness 00:09:50 – The Journey of Repentance 00:11:32 – Addressing Pornography in Leadership 00:12:25 – Confidentiality vs. Secrecy 00:14:05 – The Nature of Confidentiality 00:15:10 – The Need for Vulnerability 00:18:25 – Creating Safe Spaces in Church 00:19:28 – The Power of Authenticity 00:21:11 – Building Connections in the Ward 00:23:29 – The Role of Community in Recovery 00:25:17 – The Importance of Sharing Stories 00:27:39 – Overcoming Fear and Shame 00:29:10 – The Cost of Speaking Up 00:30:57 – The Role of Therapy in Healing 00:32:19 – Building Community in the Church 00:34:06 – The Future of Healing and Community 00:35:17 – The Role of Therapy as an Artificial Container 00:37:14 – The Need for Organic Healing 00:40:10 – Therapy and Community The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints’ mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

Megan and Erin discussed Erin’s recent experience at South by Southwest, where she attended sessions focused on AI in education and executive function coaching. Executive Function Coaching Certification Discussion Erin and Megan discussed the importance of using accurate vocabulary when talking about executive function and the challenges of identifying qualified coaches. Erin shared insights from a conference about a questionable board certification for executive functioning and recommended asking potential coaches specific questions about their approach to identifying and addressing executive function issues. They also discussed a course on mastering executive functioning that parents could take to better understand and support their children’s needs. Simulating Learning Disabilities Experience Erin and Megan discussed an educational activity where they experienced simulating dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and dyslexia. During the activity, Erin and former cohost Gretchen had a conflict over following instructions, which escalated into general frustration among participants. Megan observed that the exercise highlighted how educators might forget what it’s like to be a struggling student and noted the lack of nervous system regulation techniques provided at the end of the session. Student Competition and Recognition Challenges Erin shared her experience of feeling competitive and cheating during a classroom exercise where students had to trace and replicate signatures. Despite getting a good score of 4 out of 10, Erin felt disappointed that her achievement wasn’t recognized, highlighting how students often don’t receive acknowledgment for their efforts. Megan reflected on the importance of educators and parents putting themselves in students’ positions to better understand their experiences and provide appropriate support and grace. Educational Technology Tool Sharing Erin shared two educational technology tools she found interesting. The first was Share the Board, which allows teachers to record whiteboard lessons while capturing and displaying the content on screen, enabling students to review and interact with the material later. The second tool was Banter Box, an app that enables interactive conversations with historical texts and primary documents, allowing users to ask questions and have discussions with characters like Hamilton or Frederick Douglass. Megan inquired about the app’s ability to provide sources for its responses, to which Erin was unsure but believed it might indicate when it couldn’t answer specific questions. Educational Technology Conference Insights Erin shared insights about two educational technologies she encountered at a conference. She discussed Banter Box, which uses AI to make historical texts more engaging by allowing users to interact with them, and Florio, a VR system designed for special needs classrooms to help students practice real-life skills in a safe environment. The conversation highlighted how these technologies can help students with various challenges, including nonverbal communication and trauma recovery, while also sparking discussions about responsible screen time and technology implementation in education.

“I give them a lot of credit because they use that so frequently, and that's why they have so much success. I mean, it is an iconic melody in and of itself, but it's that repetition and that usage, you know, whereas I feel like a lot of sound logo projects that come in, we'll get to the finish line and they'll be excited to use it, and then a month or two later, they'll be like, ‘We're not seeing quite the results that we'd hoped.' It's like, A, you're not going to see it after a month, and B, you've got to use it consistently, you know, and potentially in multiple places. State Farm does it right.” – Connor MooreThis episode is the second half of my conversation with founder and creative director of CMoore Sound, Connor Moore, as we talk about where AI voices might be taking sound design, how he became a juror at the International Sound Awards, and how sonic logos are making a comeback.As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

And they were like, ‘Oh.' And we're already 65% there.”(10:47) – The Importance of SimplicityWe discuss his work with the International Sound Awards and the insights he's gained from seeing nominees from all over the world. “Most of the work I've reviewed in the last four years has been more kind of traditional sonic branding,” he tells us. “It's just great to be a part of that community and to hear all the cool work coming, because it's at a global scale.” He talks about the resurgence of sound logos in today's market, and the lesson to be learned from State Farm's branding success. “The iconic nature of that example is the melody,” he says, “the melody that's been around for so long. But I think that what I would say is just, you know, use it lightly. Be careful with overusing it.”(24:47) – The Future of Sonic BrandingOur conversation wraps up with what he's working on now, and the trends he's seeing in branding and audio UX design. “Industries that you might not expect,” Connor explains, “old school industries that are becoming more tech focused, for example... which I think is interesting, because I think sound as a technology [is] starting to touch industries of old that are modernizing.” He tells listeners how they can get in touch, and shares his perspective as someone on the forefront of sonic branding. “I'm working on very emerging technologies,” he says. “I'm working on older industry segments that are stepping into new technology, I'm working in automotive... it's a good balance that keeps me engaged.”Episode SummaryOur discussion on the rise of wearable technology and voice-driven experiences.Exploring how simplicity impacts sound design and brand perception.Connor's predictions on the evolution of audio branding and its applications.Connect with the Audio Branding Podcast:Book your project with Voice Overs and Vocals by visiting https://voiceoversandvocals.comConnect with me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jodikrangle/Watch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding (Thank you!)Share your passion effectively with these Tips for Sounding Your Best as a Podcast Guest!https://voiceoversandvocals.com/tips-for-sounding-your-best-as-a-podcast-guest/Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an Intentional Audio Strategyhttps://voiceoversandvocals.com/audio-branding-strategy/Editing/Production by Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

Can states hold pesticide companies accountable — or does federal law preempt? In this episode of People, Places, Planet, host Sebastian Duque Rios sits down with Patti Goldman, Senior Attorney at Earthjustice, and Cecilia Diedrich, Staff Attorney at ELI, to unpack one of the most consequential environmental law cases of the Supreme Court's current session: Monsanto v. Darnell. At its core, this case asks whether federal pesticide law — the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) — preempts state-based failure-to-warn claims, potentially shielding pesticide manufacturers like Monsanto from liability for harms caused by products like Roundup (glyphosate). With oral arguments scheduled for April 27, 2026, the stakes couldn't be higher — not just for pesticide litigation, but for the future of toxics accountability across the board. We break down the science behind pesticide risks, the role of tort litigation in driving corporate accountability and regulatory reform, and why the Court's ruling could have far-reaching implications for PFAS litigation, microplastics liability, and chemical safety regulation more broadly. We also explore how recent Supreme Court decisions, including Loper Bright, are reshaping the landscape of federal agency deference and what that means for environmental and public health protections. If you're interested in learning about toxics litigation more broadly, ELI's Toxics Litigation Project recently published a landscape analysis of toxics litigation and how scientific advancement and uncertainty, state and federal law, and judicial doctrine intersect in the ongoing effort to address the risks and consequences of toxic exposures in the United States and abroad titled, "Current Trends in Toxics Litigation." Additionally, for more information on FIFRA, check out our FIFRA, Explained episode. Introduction: Pesticides & FIFRA (3:17)Role of Tort Litigation in Accountability (13:44)The Roundup Litigation: Failure to Warn, Glyphosate, and the Road to the Supreme Court (19:07)Monsanto v.

Developmental psychologist Bonnie Halpern-Felsher specializes in teenage health-related decision-making, especially in their use of tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, and other substances. Young people, she says, value immediate social benefits over long-term risks. In response, she supports bans on flavored nicotine products and has developed nationally and internationally used evidence-based substance use prevention and intervention programs, including some that are culturally targeted, such as her vaping prevention curriculum in Hawaii zeroing in on popular flavors like mango and poi. The reward, she says, is reduced substance use and better mental health. “Talk to your kids. Don't lecture. Have a conversation,” Halpern-Felsher tells host Russ Altman of the best way to break through on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Are we witnessing a reset in what “proven,” “scalable,” and “investable” mean in franchising?This is not the sugar-coated version of franchising. Patrick Buckley sits down with Chris Ressa to unpack what is actually happening behind the curtain of franchise growth, exits and unit-level profitability. He breaks down the split between legacy giants and scrappy emerging brands fighting for first-time operators, why once-hot home-service brands have cooled off, and why beverages and “drive-thru only” formats are the franchise sector's new land rush.Patrick gets blunt about the math — labor, food inflation, beef shortages, construction costs and multiples that make zero sense on paper. He explains why Taco Bell can sell at 10X EBITDA while most operators are fighting to keep 10% margin, and why franchising is not a guaranteed “proven system” but a case-by-case knife fight. Health and wellness franchising is rising, the approval gate is tighter than people think, and the biggest risk is assuming the word “franchise” equals safe..What you'll hear: The collapse in home-services franchise buying after the 2020–24 gold rushThe beverage & drive-thru wave and why it's crowding capitalUnit-profit reality: labor > inflation, food > margin, construction > forecastWhy some brands trade at 9–10x EBITDA despite margin compressionHow first-time buyers actually get (or don't get) approved to buy existing unitsWhy health & wellness may steal share from food over the next decadeThe warning most first-time buyers wish they heard soonerChapters00:00 Introduction to Fran Dogs and Patrick Buckley03:02 Current Trends in Franchising05:40 Challenges Faced by Franchisees08:59 Understanding Franchise Valuations11:44 The Rise of Taco Bell and Beverage Trends14:58 Navigating Franchise Purchases17:41 Emerging Categories Beyond Food and Beverage20:34 Final Insights and Industry Statistics
