 The Piper Alpha oil platform explosion killed 167 men and changed offshore safety forever. This is how a chain of ignored warnings turned the North Sea into a firestorm. And how another disaster, Deep Water Horizon, was foreshadowed by Piper.On July 6th, 1988, the North Sea lit up like a second sun. The Piper Alpha disaster wasn't just an accident—it was engineered by complacency, cost-cutting, and a system built to fail.This An Ounce episode dives into the chain of decisions that made disaster inevitable: missing paperwork, disabled safety systems, and production pressure that drowned out caution.From the first spark to the last survivor, this is the story of a night that reshaped offshore drilling worldwide.If you've ever wondered how safety rules are written in blood, this is it.

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. Particularly, for places.Through this, we spend time on the lifecycle of a cliché, and how cities of various sizes can and should) go about avoiding becoming one.The new book zooms in, and surveys places that have done the work around brand intentionally, across the states. It's a great starting spot for folks in and around local government, and citizens alike.

What if the key to solving the mysteries of modern physics lies not in new mathematics, but in a physical interpretation of the mathematics we already have?This week, we begin a deep, two-part conversation with Dr. Chantal Roth about the Elastic Aether Theory—one of the first serious contenders we've found for a material interpretation of fundamental physics. Dr. Roth's quest for a deeper understanding of the universe begins by taking the mathematics of General Relativity, applying a set of material science axioms, and deriving what the mathematics of light and gravity tell us about the physical properties of the universe. Check out part 2, where we dive into the ether-based mechanisms for mass, light, charge, electricity, and gravity.

 There are zombies walking among us — but not the kind you've seen in horror films. These monsters don't eat brains. They drain confidence, independence, and joy. This Halloween episode of An Ounce exposes the terrifying truth: how the “zombie pathogen” infects abusers, how they hunt, what they feed on, and—most importantly—how their prey can break free.In this episode:• The hidden origin of these zombies.• How they stalk and select their prey.• The slow harvest of confidence and joy.• Why they lash out when threatened.• The cure that starves the monster.

Colorado is rolling up its sleeves to try to solve the home attainability challenge and master-planned communities will be at the forefront. In this episode, Brownstein's Greg Vallin sits down with well-known real estate brokers Mike Kboudi and John Covert, both from Cushman and Wakefield, to dive into the forces shaping residential development across the Front Range.

In this episode, Angela sits down with Ulrich Dempfle, co-founder and CEO of CAROL Bike, to uncover the science and innovation behind one of the most time-efficient ways to boost VO₂ max, metabolic health, and brain function. Ulrich explains why VO₂ max is the most important marker for longevity, how it declines without training, and how short, AI-guided REHIT sprints boost mitochondria, BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), and cardiovascular fitness in just minutes. He also breaks down how Reduced-Exertion High-Intensity Interval Training (REHIT) works, why traditional zone 2 training doesn't work for everyone, and how gamification and real-time performance data make staying consistent easier than ever.

A big fight over housing density has been brewing in Littleton for years, and with voters set to decide the fate of Mayor Kyle Schlachter's “missing middle” housing reforms early next month, the debate is getting nasty! A rival mayoral candidate, Patrick Driscoll, was recently caught on a Ring camera swiping Schlachter's campaign materials. So, what's got Littleton so heated? We're revisiting a conversation host Bree Davies had with Mayor Schlachter earlier this year about where this push for density in Denver's south suburbs came from and why some of his constituents are so upset.  Housing density is certainly a major issue in Littleton's mayoral election, but it's specifically at issue in Ballot Question 3A. If that passes, the city charter would lock in historic zoning rules. That question was placed on the ballot by a citizen-led group called Rooted in Littleton, which Mayor Schlachter discusses in this episode at length.  This episode originally aired on June 25, 2025.  What do you think about the housing fight in Littleton?

In this powerful interview, Aaron Abke reveals Jesus' urgent prophecy about the New Earth — why 95% of humanity is still missing the truth, and the choice every soul must face in the coming shift. We explore how the Law of One describes our transition into 4th density, why Gaia has entered planetary shadow work, and how Jesus' original teachings align with the path of spiritual awakening and soul evolution.We also unpack the hidden teachings of Jesus, the ancient “Two Ways” prophecy, Gaia's initiation into Stage 1 shadow work, and the Edenic vision from Isaiah that aligns with the positive polarity path. These insights reveal a spiritual fork in the road — one that determines your soul's trajectory in the age to come.This episode is a deep dive into prophecy, polarity, and spiritual awakening — connecting the original message of Yeshua the Nazarene with today's unprecedented shift in consciousness. Whether you are exploring the New Earth timeline, seeking clarity on the Law of One, or learning how to align with the path of service-to-others, this dialogue offers both timeless wisdom and urgent relevance. Watch until the end to discover how this prophecy is unfolding now, and what it truly means to choose the way of life in our lifetime.Aaron Abke is a paradigm-shifting spiritual teacher that delivers a fresh, new perspective on Metaphysics and Ontology through his teachings on the Jesus Way, the Law of One, A Course In Miracles, and Spiritual Intelligence. His passion is to provide humanity with the tools, practices, and wisdom needed to awaken to Enlightenment — “4th Density Consciousness” — and realize our destiny as an Enlightened civilization.___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS2:37 - The Three Beliefs of Ego 4:21 - Humanity's Shift to Fourth Density10:00 - Humanity's Involuntary Shadow Work13:03 - Positive vs Negative Polarization in Leaders 15:31 - The “Two Ways” Philosophy19:18 - The Necessity of Choosing Light or Dark25:01 - How the Negative Polarity Gains Influence27:28 - The Nature of Propaganda32:47 - Rethinking Power Structures38:16 - How Negative Entities Gain Permission to Influence Minds42:02 - Eternal Life as a Present Reality44:24 - The Kingdom of Heaven Is Within 49:30 - AI, Technology & Consciousness51:32 - The Holy Spirit as the Divine Mother56:50 - Mary Magdalene's True Role59:01 - The Cross vs. The Ankh 1:02:46 - The Nazarene Church Led by Jesus' Brothers1:10:17 - Priests vs. Prophets in the Hebrew Bible1:12:39 - Jesus' Opposition to the Temple1:14:41 - Prophets, Prophecy & Parallels to Modern Times1:17:34 - The Kingdom of Peace1:22:15 - The Law of One & Non-Violence1:22:42 - Most Impactful Biblical Passage for Aaron1:29:50 - Repentance Without Guilt or Shame1:32:45 - Free Will, Divine Law & Returning to Alignment1:35:11 - Why Shame Blocks Spiritual Growth1:40:19 - Aaron's Approach to Prayer 1:45:27 - Surrendering Problems to God & Allowing Guidance1:49:46 - The Question Aaron Wishes More People Would Ask1:50:15 - One Daily Reminder to Accelerate Humanity's Shift1:51:26 - Future Self's Message___________________Guest: Aaron Abke | Law of One Teacher✦ Website | https://www.aaronabke.com/✦ Instagram |   / aaronabke  ✦ 4D University | https://www.aaronabke.com/4duniversity/✦ YouTube | ‪@AaronAbke‬ Host: Emilio Ortiz✦ IG |   / iamemilioortiz  ✦ Subscribe to Channel |    / emilioortiz  Share Your Gratitude & Support the Show:✦ Make a One-Time or Recurring Donation on PayPal

When Vanderbilt polled Nashvillians in March about top priorities for city investment, there was near unanimity around one issue. Nearly 90% wanted investment in more affordable housing. But when the questioning hit closer to home, the support waned. According to this same poll, 56% of residents support allowing multifamily housing "everywhere in my city to revitalize neighborhoods and local economies."If Nashville is going to have more affordable housing, residents also have to live closer together. It's not just apartment buildings and not just in some parts of town. It's townhomes. It's a garage unit in the backyard. It's density. And when that density is proposed next door, you get a lot of folks who may agree in principle but find themselves saying “not in my back yard.” What does it take to get more YIMBYs (yes in my back yard)?

I'm diving back into the Talent Density System from my book The Strength of Talent—this time covering Steps 3–5. In this episode of The Better Leadership Team Show, I share actionable strategies to coach, develop, and retain your top talent, make tough decisions about low performers, and measure progress with tools like the Quarterly Talent Assessment Meeting and Talent Density Indicator. If you want to grow your people to grow your profit, these are the strategies that make it happen. Thanks for listening!

It's all on KFIAM-640!

Originally from Uruguay and now based in Madison, WI, Matias helps cities and organizations connect with underheard voices. He reminds us that progress isn't just technological—it's social. Without infrastructure, access, and inclusion, adoption doesn't happen.EVs, he argues, are a mirror for how we build systems: Who benefits, who's left out, and who gets a say?TL;DR* Equity first: EV access must include every neighborhood, not just the affluent.* Infrastructure gap: Charging deserts echo old redlining patterns.* Ethical supply: Sustainable batteries require fair labor, not just clean tech.* Density wins: Transit, walkability, and urban design matter more than suburban car swaps.* Trust gap: People don't adopt systems they don't feel included in.Memorable lines* “We'll buy in when it's built for everyone.”* “You can't be in community while there's smoke. When the air clears, connection starts again.”* “Electric cars don't build trust—people do.”Guest: Matias Lemos Castillo — Founder, MLC ConsultingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mlemoscastillo/Website: https://consultantmlc.com/Why it mattersEV adoption is a trust story wrapped in a tech story. Until cities design for inclusion, access, and connection, the real revolution won't be electric—it'll be community-powered.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.

In this episode of The Better Leadership Team Show, I introduce the Talent Density System from my new book The Strength of Talent. This episode covers the first two steps of the system: setting clear expectations and assessing performance. I share why productivity and culture fit are both essential, how to define them with clarity, and how to use a simple assessment model to identify high-performing, medium-performing, low-producing, and low-culture-fit team members.

Send us a textWant to know how a small city can protect its red rock vistas and still welcome new families? We sit down with a 31-year-old Ivins candidate who makes a clear, practical case for balancing heritage, housing, and modern city management—without turning the place into another resort corridor. He shares how growing up in Ivins, interning at the Utah Capitol, and working on statewide campaigns shaped a leadership style that blends clear principles with real listening, especially to younger residents who rarely see themselves on the council.We dig into attainable housing mandates from the state and what a thoughtful, design-first response looks like: mixed housing near parks and paths, duplexes and quads that match neighborhood character, and targeted density along Highway 91 where infrastructure can support it. On the revenue side, we get into property taxes, constrained city funding models, and why smarter tools—like a narrowly scoped sales tax for public safety and even autonomous mowers to free staff for higher-impact work—can stretch dollars without sacrificing service. Throughout, he argues for a walkable fabric of small businesses—clinics, family restaurants, kid-friendly activities—that keep life local and sales tax steady.Environmental protection is non-negotiable: water planning with the conservancy district, protecting Night Sky and Snow Canyon viewsheds, and accelerating land trusts through the Open Spaces Committee to preserve working farms and the rural feel. He also calls for a digital-first civic process: opt-in alerts for zone changes, short resident surveys, and regular plan updates so the data guiding decisions stays current. It's a candid, hopeful blueprint for a city that holds on to what it loves while making room for who's next.Please make sure you like and subscribe, share it with other voters throughout Washington County to help them make informed decisions in the upcoming election.

Is your neighborhood ready for “gentle density”? The city's community planning and development office is starting work on a project to bring missing middle housing — duplexes, fourplexes, etc. — to more Denver neighborhoods, and that means some neighbors are gearing up for a fight! City Councilman Kevin Flynn represents southwest Denver and was re-elected after he warned against so-called gentle density. So today he joins producer Paul Karolyi to talk about Denver's housing challenges and a variety of other hot-button issues facing the city, including the mayor's controversial budget proposal for 2026 and a couple ballot measures Denverites will be deciding next month.

Send us a textGrowth doesn't wait for perfect alignment, and neither should we. This conversation with Mayor Michele Randall digs into the choices shaping Southern Utah right now: a Northern Corridor designed to relieve real congestion, a beloved Zone Six worth protecting, and a Western Corridor that shouldn't split SunRiver's sense of place. We walk the ground-level details—UDOT influence, MPO dynamics, SITLA's school-funding mandate, and federal timelines—so you can judge the trade-offs with clear eyes.We also trace how traffic and housing connect. St. George's topography and past land-use shifts created choke points that neighborhood commercial can finally ease. Think daily needs embedded near homes, fewer cross-town trips, and smarter corridors that carry regional growth without turning downtown into a freeway. On the housing front, Michele backs practical flexibility: ADUs in every zone, mixed-style neighborhoods, studio and mid-rise apartments near jobs like Tech Ridge, and a faster, clearer path through approvals. Affordability isn't solved by slogans—it's zoning, timing, and supply that work together.Budgets matter because priorities do. You'll hear the unvarnished timeline behind the proposed property tax increase, why the council reversed course at truth-in-taxation, and how the city still funded core public safety—new stations, equipment, and a majority of planned positions—by cutting elsewhere and tapping capital funds. We get into the city's new budgeting approach where council priorities lead and departments build to outcomes: safer streets, maintained roads, reliable parks, responsive services.Along the way, we confront labels and look at leadership. Michele argues that a nonpartisan mayor meets with everyone, protects heritage with context (from national historic status for the Sugar Loaf and the “D” to a new interpretive trail), and keeps the focus on what makes daily life better. She addresses attendance rumors head-on, shares her health journey, and emphasizes how city work continued seamlessly with strong staff and open channels—public comment rebuilt, online submissions live, and direct contact by phone and email.Please make sure you like and subscribe, share it with other voters throughout Washington County to help them make informed decisions in the upcoming election.

Our very own Greg Franklin just won the Best Director, Animation award at the Jane Austen International Film Festival for the short film THE WHISTLE, which also took home the award for Best Animation! Congratulations Greg! So to celebrate, Greg is programming this episode, but he's not letting the prestige go to his head! He's bringing on the MIDCENTURY SLEAZE in what he promises is a return to this podcast's exploitation roots after we sunk to new highs in our last episode with NATIONAL VELVET. First, the immortal Tura Satana and her gang of fast-drivin', karate-choppin' go-go dancers cut a swath of mayhem through the Mojave Desert in boob-meister Russ Meyer's masterpiece FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL! (1965). This is Meyer's first appearance on the podcast, which only confirms Greg's assertions that we've lost our way over here. FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL! is streaming on Roku Channel. Then, we dig ourselves even deeper underground with SINS OF THE FLESHAPOIDS (1965), a bit of microbudget weirdness from the bizarre minds of brothers Mike and George Kuchar. This sci-fi dystopia takes place a million years in the future when lazy-assed humans leave all the work to human-like robots called fleshaopids. Can these discount androids find love? It only takes 45-minutes to find out--a major selling point for Philena. SINS OF THE FLESHAPOIDS is streaming on tubi. John Waters has called both of Greg's picks "the best movie ever made," which is refreshing after all the horse movies and hippie musicals. In our opening segment, Greg tells us more about THE WHISTLE, and we discuss the ongoing end of TikTok and Stan Lee's AI avatar--coming to a comic con near you! NEXT EPISODE: Cory is on tour so cannabis comic Ngaio Bealum returns for our HALLOWEED EPISODE with ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN (1948) and Vincent Price in THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES (1971).

A new housing density plan is going ahead following a heated Auckland Council debate. The plan which allows more housing near transport hubs and fewer in natural hazard zones, has passed with 18 in support and 5 opposed. It will remove 27 percent of Special Character Areas. Councillor Shane Henderson says the plan now goes out for public consultation. "It's time for people to feedback in and say - look, we might have gotten this or that area wrong, or make some adjustments to people's neighbourhoods and things like that. It's really important that we allow people to have their say." Housing and RMA Reform Minister Chris Bishop has welcomed the decision.

Auckland Councillors will today vote on whether to keep a housing density plan, which allows for three-storey residential buildings to be put up anywhere in the city. Victor Waters reports.

In this episode, we are joined by Attzaz Rashid (Barratt London) and Joel Callow (Beyond Carbon) to talk about Barratt London's move into Passive House.It was a chance to get into what attracted Barratt to developing this Lo-E homes proposition and how they came to feel confident about committing to deliver certified Passive House apartments, the team effort that's been employed to make it work, and the way this change has brought about a renewed enthusiasm for the job in some of the project's participants.It's a really interesting exploration of how the rigour and challenges of Passive House has affected Barratt's approach to high-density building, and how the Passive House approach has come to be recognised as advantageous to Barratt, in all sorts of ways. Finally, the critique of M&E design that's made late on in the episode is not a Barratt critique—as Az makes abundantly clear—this is one founded in Joel's experience of inheriting issues that require Beyond Carbon's expertise for their resolution.Notes from the showAttzaz Rashid on LinkedInJoel Callow on LinkedIn The Barratt London websiteThe Beyond Carbon websiteDistrict heating and passive house - are they compatible? from the pages of Passive House PlusBarratt launches record passive house scheme also from the pages of Passive House Plus**SOME SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**We don't actually earn anything from this podcast, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.Follow us on the Zero Ambitions LinkedIn page (we still don't have a proper website)Jeff and Dan about Zero Ambitions Partners (the consultancy) for help with positioning and communications strategy, customer/user research and engagement strategy, carbon calculations and EPDs – we're up to all sortsSubscribe and advertise with Passive House Plus (UK edition here too)Check Lloyd Alter's Substack: Carbon UpfrontJoin ACANJoin the AECB Join the IGBCCheck out Her Retrofit Space, the renovation and retrofit platform for women**END OF SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**

NOW is the time to tune back into your personal power.Let's have fun with a new view of our soul's esteem system. Today I want to introduce you to a way of understanding intuition I call the Inner Oracle: a seven-layer intuitive system.Think of your Inner Oracle System as a network of channels that tune into different kinds of light and intelligence unique to you.

Have you ever gone to bed feeling heavy, stuck, or overwhelmed - only to wake up the next morning completely shifted?

 In 2013, a runaway train with no crew, no lights, and 72 tank cars of crude oil tore into Lac Mégantic, Quebec — triggering Canada's deadliest modern rail disaster.At 1:14 a.m. on July 6th, 2013, a silent, unmanned train derailed on a curve in Lac Mégantic. The resulting firestorm — fueled by six million liters of volatile Bakken crude — leveled the downtown, claimed 47 lives, and left a permanent scar on the town and rail safety history.In this An Ounce disaster case study, we break down the chain of mechanical failures, human decisions, and systemic weaknesses that led to the catastrophe — and the lessons still unlearned.If you think the systems we rely on are fail safe, this story might change your mind.Watch more stories like this on An Ounce:[Insert URL to related episode — recommend Halifax Explosion once both are in the same playlist]If you value clear, honest storytelling about real disasters and the lessons they leave behind, like this video, subscribe to the channel, and share it with someone who thinks “it can't happen here.”#AnOunce #LacMegantic #TrainDisaster #DisasterCaseStudy #RailSafety #CanadaHistory________________________________________Chapters (Timestamps) 00:00 – The Ghost Train00:51 – Set-Up02:01 – The Spark03:56 – The Ghost Train Rolls in05:39 – The Response06:40 – Outcomes: The Cost07:16 – Outcomes: Lessons Learned08:02 – What We Missed?09:10 – An Ounce09:40 – Firefighting Chaos________________________________________Authoritative References with URLs1.

About 200 people filled a hall in Auckland's Mt Eden on Thursday night, furious at plans to allow high-rise apartments and remove 'special character' status for hundreds of villas and bungalows. Character Coalition chairperson Sally Hughes spoke to Corin Dann.

Today I'm joined by Ross Elli, a respected urban thinker and commentator, and we discuss something most politicians and planners are ignoring: the danger of concentrating 70% of Australia's population into just eight capital cities, and doing it without a real plan. We explore the challenges of infrastructure, the concept of the missing middle in housing, and the need for a national settlement strategy to address the growing population and its impact on quality of life.   Whether you're a property investor, policymaker, or simply someone sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic wondering where it all went wrong, this episode of the Michael Yardney Podcast is going to challenge the way you think about growth, planning, and the future of our cities.   Takeaways  ·         Australia's population growth is concentrated in a few major cities. ·         High-density living does not necessarily reduce traffic congestion. ·         There is a significant gap in housing supply and demand. ·         The concept of the 'missing middle' in housing is contentious. ·         Infrastructure development has not kept pace with population growth. ·         Regional centers can offer a better quality of life than major cities. ·         Government policies need to address urban planning holistically. ·         Decentralization strategies have not been effectively implemented in Australia. ·         Community opposition often hinders new housing developments. ·         A national settlement strategy is essential for sustainable growth.   Chapters    00:00 The Urban Dilemma: Population Growth and Infrastructure 07:31 The Myths of Density and Urban Planning 12:38 The Missing Middle: Densification Challenges 17:55 Regional Opportunities: Rethinking Settlement Strategies 23:08 Decentralization: Lessons from the Past 28:18 Future Visions: A Balanced Australia   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing.

San Diego city planners recently released a draft update to the Clairemont Community Plan.The changes would rezone many of the neighborhood's strip malls and shopping centers to allow for higher-density housing.In western Clairemont, near the Blue Line trolley stations, however, the neighborhood would remain largely unchanged.On Midday Edition Tuesday, we discuss the changes and the attitudes around them.Guest:Andrew Bowen, metro reporter, KPBS

Density and infill might be the most divisive issue in Canada's major urban centres right now...or at least it feels that way. After a heated exchange during our August 22 Group Chat Round Table, we check in with Athabasca University political scientist Dr. Alex Rivard, who lays out what national polling actually tells us about where Canadians stand on the issue (17:30).  TELL US WHAT YOU THINK: talk@ryanjespersen.com  47:30 | As the Prime Minister lowers his elbows by dropping reciprocal tariffs aimed at Americans, do Doug Ford, Mark Carney, and progressives across Canada owe Alberta Premier Danielle Smith an apology? Her supporters sure think so. Dr. Rivard tells us what he thinks before analyzing a new report on Canadian relations with China (57:45).  1:34:30 | Real Talker Janine tells us why she's so grateful for that August 18 by-election in Battle River--Crowfoot that saw Pierre Poilievre secure his seat in the House of Commons.

Auckland Council has given the green light to a draft plan for housing density around key transport routes and town centres - and it's now being sent out for feedback. Urban Design Forum architect Graeme Scott spoke to Corin Dann.

Auckland Council is seeking feedback on a draft plan to build more homes near town centres and public transport, while keeping new buildings safer in flood-prone areas. Housing Minister Chris Bishop spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Annual reviews are broken, and leadership coach Mike Goldman, author of “The Strength of Talent” has a different way to think about performance management that puts people growth at the heart of profit growth.    Joining Sarah Lockwood in this episode, Mike questions why so many organizations still rely on outdated HR metrics and rigid systems like annual reviews or quarterly reviews when so few leaders believe they make a real impact. He introduces the idea of “talent density,” a measure of the gap between high and low performers, and explains why it's a sharper way to understand organizational health. He walks through his five-step framework that calls for clear expectations, honest assessments done as a team, real leadership accountability, and a balance between productivity and culture fit.    How often do we keep a top producer who quietly undermines the culture? Where is “good enough” quietly slowing the roles that drive a company forward? Mike shares strategies leaders can start using right away, even without company-wide adoption, and explains why a slow, thoughtful rollout builds trust and lasting results. This episode challenges the way performance management is typically done and offers a grounded approach to helping both people and the business grow stronger.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Talent Density Explained 01:51 People Growth Drives Profit 03:55 Assessing Performance Beyond Annual Reviews 06:25 Leadership Accountability for People Growth 08:01 Broken Performance Management System 09:17 Quarterly Talent Assessment Meeting (QTAM) 11:14 Talent Density Indicator (TDI) Overview 14:40 Culture Fit as a Performance Metric 18:45 Roles Where Good Enough Fails 23:06 Applying the System as a Middle Manager 29:01 Change Management and Rollout Strategy   Connect with Mike Goldman: Website Book: “The Strength of Talent”  LinkedIn   Connect with Sarah Lockwood: Website LinkedIn Connect with The Conscious Entrepreneur: Website  LinkedIn  Instagram  YouTube   HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.

135 years ago, Norwegian immigrant Thea Foss lived in a ramshackle driftwood houseboat on the coast of Tacoma Washington. Kind, capable, and hard-working, she was an anchor for hundreds more immigrants during America's Gilded Age. Thea built the largest maritime company west of the Mississippi- but more than that, she was the heart of the community. (Plus there's a boat parade, a catastrophic fire, and a truly delightful cow.)
