How can one of the busiest airports in the world lead the charge toward sustainability? Recorded live at Autodesk University 2024, Kendra Brown and Robert Brown join the podcast to discuss how Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is breaking ground on visionary sustainability initiatives. From the construction of the new Electric Central Utility Plant (E-CUP) to achieving Net Zero Carbon by 2030—20 years ahead of global targets—DFW is setting the bar for sustainable airport infrastructure. Kendra Brown is a BIM Coordinator at Keville Enterprises, Inc. and the ACC System Administrator for DFW International Airport. She coordinates civil projects such as the 17R Runway rehabilitation, International Parkway Right Exits, and Southwest End-Around Taxiway. Robert Brown is Sr. Project Controls System Manager at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). He is a certified Remote Pilot and Weightlifting Performance Coach, and he has additional experience as Survey Party Chief, Engineering Tech III, and Construction Education Adjunct Professor. TODD TAKES Real World Demands and Ambitious Goals: The team at DFW Airport knows the stakes are high—balancing real-world demands with ambitious targets, like reaching net-zero emissions by 2030 instead of 2050. Big goals create urgency, keeping everyone motivated to push harder and innovate. Failing Forward and Building Buy-In: Getting leadership support for bold initiatives is crucial, but so is creating a culture where it's okay to fail. At DFW, they embrace the idea that failure is part of progress, which allows their team to take calculated risks and explore new tech solutions without fear. Leveraging Technology to Connect and Adapt: DFW uses tools like Autodesk Construction Cloud and digital twins to keep everyone—from field crews to executives—connected and aligned on projects. The focus is on creating seamless communication and adaptability, ensuring all parts of the team work as one well-oiled machine. Thanks for listening!

"When we boast, we mention "I" and never "Him". "Our plans" often become our god, and ultimately lead to disobedience and selfishness. Our accomplishments, work or vocation must be used to show other how God has shaped our lives, and how He guides our thoughts and actions. Humility in our personal and professional lives is the key attribute or habit that allows us to emulate Christ and to show others that His plans are all that matters." - Ron Harris On August 2, 1985, Ron Harris boarded Delta Flight 191 on a business trip back to Dallas, Tx. He never would anticipate the events that would occur that day. While approaching DFW International Airport, Flight 191 encountered a microbust and crashed one mile short of the runway. Ron is 1 of the 27 survivers on a flight with 152 passengers. Needless to say, Ron's life and his perspective on life changed forever that day. In todays episode, Ron shares this incredible story, how he is reminded daily of Jesus' presence in his life, and how his decisions and actions must reflect this profound event. Ron Harris is a principal in CFO-Partner where he and his business partner, Rick Simpson, offer contract Chief Financial Officer services to small-to-medium size businesses; and merger and acquisition advisory services for those clients who wish to acquire businesses or to ultimately sell (or retire). Ron received his Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting from the University of Oklahoma in 1981. His 40-year Oklahoma City career includes an accounting career as a CPA with KPMG, and he was the owner of an information technology company that he sold in 1998, and then joined CFO-Partner. Ron has served clients in almost all industries other than non-profit or government. Currently, Ron serves clients in the following industries: wholesale distribution, oil and gas, manufacturing, metal fabrication, commercial construction, plastic injection molding, biomedical, and pipeline and industrial pipe/valves. Ron has served in numerous capacities as a Director, Board Member and Advisory Director for various organizations, including Wings; First Bank & Trust, Duncan, OK; Independence Charter Middle School; current Chairman of the Finance and Facilities Committee at Crossings Community Church, current Chairman of the Board for Wings, a non-profit serving the special needs adult community, and was a past Vice President and President of Quail Creek Golf and Country Club.

 I heard a very loud crack. This was the loudest Thunder. I have ever heard in my life. In fact, it almost sounded like an explosion, a few minutes later, the storm, slowed down, and I decided to move on. I was at the North End of DFW International Airport and I noticed a car wreck. Just ahead of me.
