Well, there is a company most people have never heard of quietly positioning itself at the very center of America’s energy future. Its name is Energy Capital Partners. It’s a private equity firm headquartered up in Summit, New Jersey. But to understand how ECP ended up owning wind blade factories, you have to start with gas turbines and a power company called Calpine. See, back in 2001, Calpine placed one of the most audacious turbine orders ever recorded, 203 GE gas turbines. enough to power 50,000 megawatts of base load generation. GE did [00:01:00] not just sell Calpine turbines. The two companies co-developed power plants together. GE co-owned facilities. Calpine held options to buy them back. It was a less a vendor relationship and more of a marriage. In 2018, Energy Capital Partners bought Calpine, All 77 power plants, 26,000 megawatts of generation capacity, and every long-term GE service agreement that came with it. And for the next seven years, ECP was GE’s single most consequential private sector gas turbine customer in the Western Hemisphere. That relationship, built on decades of iron and service contracts, would soon reach far beyond gas. Because on the other side of the energy world, a very different kind of company was falling apart, and that was TPI Composites. For years, the world’s largest independent maker of wind turbine blades. [00:02:00] facilities in Iowa, in Mexico, in India, and in Turkey. More than 9,600 employees worldwide. But the cracks were forming long before anyone said bankruptcy. First came the debt. TPI had borrowed heavily from Oaktree Capital Management and by the time the end arrived, the company owed Oaktree $476 million, secured against substantially all of its assets. Then came the customers. Nordex walked away from its Matamoros facility, shutting it down at the end of the second quarter of 2024. Then came customs. US Customs and Border Protection launched a review of TPI’s Mexico facilities under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. TPI maintained its supply chain had no connection to forced labor, but the law did not care about confidence. Cared about proof, and while TPI worked to prove its innocence, a substantial portion of its Mexico-made blades could not cross the border into [00:03:00] the United States. The backlog told the story in numbers. At the end of 2024, there were $237 million in orders. One year later, $114 million in orders, cut nearly in half. On August 11th of last year, TPI filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, delisted from NASDAQ about eight days later. Now, when a company heads into bankruptcy, the first thing it has to solve is a very human problem. How do you keep the people who know how to run the place from walking out the door? Well, TPI’s board had an answer. Two months before the bankruptcy filing, the compensation committee approved retention bonuses for key executives, paid in cash within 30 days. The CEO, $1,225,000. The CFO, $518,000. The COO, [00:04:00] $487,000. And of course, the general counsel, $435,000. But there was one condition, you had to stay through restructuring. If you left early, you had to give it all back. Well, they stayed, at least most of them have. In the months that followed, TPI sold off its Turkish operations. Vestas moved quickly, claiming the India and Matamoros plants for roughly $24 million. And then the phone rang in Summit, New Jersey. GE Vernova needed its blade supply secured. It had a decades-long relationship with the firm on the other end of that call, a relationship forged not in composite factories, but in gas turbine halls. Through a newly formed entity called ECP Blade Holdings, Energy Capital Partners is acquiring TPI’s remaining North American assets , plants up in Newton, Iowa, down in Juarez, Mexico, for about $20 [00:05:00] million. The management team that had guided TPI through its darkest chapter came with it. And embedded in the transaction was a five-year supply agreement requiring GE Vernova to direct a defined share of its blade procurement exclusively to ECP-operated facilities. Well, if this deal had fallen apart, GE Vernova itself was contractually bound as a backup buyer, obligated to step in and at least purchase the Iowa plant for $21 million. GE Vernova was simultaneously ECP’s partner, its customer , and in this case, its buyer of last resort. Two companies, one relationship stretching back about 25 years through gas turbine orders, power plant co-ownership, long-term service contracts, and now wind blade factories rescued from bankruptcy court. A company laid low by debt, customs blockades, and lost contracts, its people paid to [00:06:00] stay, its factory sold for pennies on the dollar, and now rising again under new ownership to supply the very turbines powering America’s AI-driven energy future And that’s the state of the wind industry for the 1st of June 2026. Have a great week

Signalbaserad försäljning – det nya svarta? Att förstå och utnyttja signalbaserad försäljning kan revolutionera hur du når dina kunder. Denna teknik går bortom traditionell CRM- och marknadsautomation, genom att använda AI och ett omfattande nät av datakällor för att identifiera de rätta tillfällena för kontakt. Genom att fokusera på signaler snarare än bara statiska listor, kan du skapa mer relevanta och tidsanpassade kampanjer som verkligen träffar rätt i rätt ögonblick.  Niklas Gustavsson, expert på marknadsföringsteknologi, förklarar varför detta är en av de mest transformerande trenderna för sälj och marknad idag. Du får insikt i hur system som Clay samlar in och tolkar data från över 150 olika källor – allt från LinkedIn till egna scraping-metoder – för att ge dig en djupare förståelse av dina potentiella kunder. Du lär dig också varför tajming, kontext och beteendeförändringar är nycklar för att lyckas med denna metod, och varför gamla, statiska strategier riskerar att bli ogenomträngliga i en snabbföränderlig värld. Det här avsnittet hjälper dig att se möjligheterna i att automatisera din prospektering och att bygga relationer som är mer precisa och mindre betungande. Missar du detta, riskerar du att hamna i ett tillstånd där din försäljning saknar kraft och träffsäkerhet. För företag som vill ligga i framkant i den digitala försäljningens tidsålder är detta ovärderlig kunskap – inte bara för att optimera försäljningen utan även för att förstå dina kunder bättre än någonsin. Oavsett om du är vd, säljchef eller marknadsförare, är detta avsnitt en ovärderlig guide för att förstå den nya rörelsen inom signalbaserad försäljning och hur du kan tillämpa den i din verksamhet för att nå fler, träffa rätt och skapa värdefulla relationer i en värld där information och timing är allt. Viktiga insikter: Signalbaserad försäljning använder AI och omfattande data för att träffa rätt i rätt ögonblick, vilket gör den mycket mer effektfull än traditionella metoder. Det är avgörande att skilja på listbaserad prospektering och signalbaserat arbete för att lyckas med automatisering och kontextuell kommunikation. Beteendeförändring och snabbhet är nycklar för att omsätta insikter till handling – att testa, justera och kontinuerligt förbättra är OERHÖRT viktigt. Denna teknik förändrar säljrollen och öppnar möjligheter att skapa en automatiserad, kontextuell och mycket mer relevant kontakt med potentiella kunder. Det är dags att omvärdera gamla vanor och ta steget in i den moderna, signalbaserade försäljningsrevolutionen. Kontakta Niklas om du vill prata mer om detta. Läs transkribering Anders Hermansson (02:05.403) Nicklas Gustafsson, hjärtligt välkommen till Sälj och marknadspodden! Niklas Gustavsson (02:09.742) Ja men tack så mycket! Anders Hermansson (02:11.739) Kul att dig här. Vi ska ju snacka om något som är lite ny. Ja, förhållandevis ny grej. Spännande tycker jag. Signalbaserad försäljning. Niklas Gustavsson (02:23.918) Ja precis, det finns väl många olika sätt. Signalbaserad försäljning, låter fantastiskt bra. Ja verkligen. Anders Hermansson (02:33.371) Eller hur? Det en ny term, det gillar vi alla. En ny grej som ska lösa alla problem. Ja, grymt. Du, men innan vi gör det här. Vem är du och hur kommer det sig att du liksom har börjat med det här sales automation spåret? Niklas Gustavsson (02:50.798) Jag har jobbat ganska länge inom marknadsföringsteknologi och kommer nog lite mer från marknadsidan än säljessidan. Om vi ska gå jättelångt tillbaka så år 2001-2002 med e-postmarknadsföring. 2008-2009 började vi prata om marketing automation. Anders Hermansson (03:13.561) Okej. Niklas Gustavsson (03:19.63) Sedan har jobbat som konsult och drivit bolag inom det här området. Jag har skrivit en bok. tror det var 2018 som den kom ut. Jag brukar säga att är slut såld men jag brukar aldrig tala om hur många ex den fanns i. Jag vet inte. Anders Hermansson (03:42.105) Du förhandlar just nu om en ny upplaga men vi får se vad det blir. Niklas Gustavsson (03:47.886) Jag vet att när skrev den boken så skrev jag inledningsvis att det känns lite dumt att skriva en bok för att det blir gammalt men det klart att det har varit kul att ha något i handen och kunna lämna ut något fysiskt att ta på. Jag vet inte om det är något att trycka upp igen. Sen så sålde jag en liten konsultlåda 20-23 någon gång inom marketing automation. Anders Hermansson (03:59.257) Exakt. Niklas Gustavsson (04:17.454) funderade då på vad ska jag göra nu? Jag tycker att man har sett många bolag som har CRM-system där CRM-systemet används mest som ett place of records. Det blir mest som en digital telefonkatalog eller en databas och det blir något jobbigt för säljarna att fylla i för att någon ska kunna titta på nån gång. I samband med det så hittade vi också Play. Anders Hermansson (04:54.873) Just det, en plattform som man gör det här. Kan du inte berätta lite om, för nu har vi redan lanserat den nya termen här, signalbaserad försäljning eller vad ska jag kalla det för då? Vad är skillnaden som gör skillnaden mellan det här och det traditionella markning automation CRM-grejen om man börjar i system på systemsidan? Niklas Gustavsson (05:18.126) Skillnaden är väl egentligen att man lägger på clay som ett lager på sitt CRM. Hubspot eller Salesforce är väl i huvudsak. Och sen så kan man då hitta alla intänts och signaler och allting som händer kring personerna och företagen. Om en person byter arbetsgivare till exempel. eller om ett företag som man har i sitt CRM publicerar en nyhet så får man in en signal om det och kan då agera på det. Det klart att det här är nog väldigt mycket i kombinationen med allting som sker inom AI för att det finns AI inbyggt i clay då som gör att man kan ha promptar eller agenter som agerar på de signaler som kommer in. Anders Hermansson (06:20.568) Just det. Vi kan komma in på det lite och Om du tittar på… Då tror jag att vi har fått en liksom en… Det är någon sorts… Det är en automatiserad omvärldsbevakare som plockar upp saker som händer kan man säga. Till att börja med och sen kan man agera på det då. Och hur skulle du säga att om man tittar på säljarnas beteende och vad är det de bord kan göra då och slipper göra och allt sånt här. Om man skulle implementera den här typen av säljstödsverktyg kan man väl kalla det för. Niklas Gustavsson (06:51.214) Det är väl mycket, om man börjar från början i en säljprocess så är det väl mycket prospekteringen som kan göras i Clay också då. Att hitta relevanta personer och prata med utifrån någonting. Dels att de är relevanta personer på ett relevant… på rätt bolag, att de är inom rätt ICP. Och sen att det sker saker som gör att timingen borde vara rätt. Så att hela prospekteringsprocessen kan läggas in mer automatiserad och säljaren kan fokusera mer på att bli ännu mer specialist. och prata med kunderna senare i beslutsprocessen. Anders Hermansson (07:54.072) Men du, det här med ICP, om man ska ersätta det till svenska så är det en form av drömkund, kan man säga, drömkundsprofil då. De man helst vill sälja till. vet man… Alltså, tillbörjar man man som har koll på det. Och det är ju en sak som ni kan lyssna på på säkert tio avsnitt i Säljmarknadsbådden när vi pratar om ICP och sånt och vikten av det. Men här blir det ju då väldigt, väldigt viktigt för att det här systemet ska kunna göra sitt jobb helt enkelt. Niklas Gustavsson (08:25.102) Så är det ju. Det är klart att många har massor med bolag i sitt CRM-system. Genom att vi har olika AI-modeller och sånt inbyggt i clay så kan vi då istället för att kanske prata om en scoring så kan vi då titta på de här bolagen och tala om vilken ICP eller om de är inom ICP och hur bra Hur good fit är det till ens ICP? Är det låg eller hög matchning mot den ICP som man har? Genom att du har, ja du kan få in massa olika datapunkter som inte bara är variabler i en databas utan också skrepa bolagens sajter eller titta på vad de gör eller Anders Hermansson (08:57.494) Jag fattar. Niklas Gustavsson (09:24.302) Du får väl klippa i det här sen. Nej precis, det vill du inte. Vi har ett gemensamt case som vi har jobbat med där ett intänt signal, om de är en god fit för våra gemensamma kunder, är ombo. Anders Hermansson (09:28.95) Nej. Anders Hermansson (09:33.75) Ha! Niklas Gustavsson (09:53.998) Bolagen åker på mässor och då kan precis för åker de och ställer ut på mässor. Om de åker och ställer ut på mässor då har de behov av de här tjänsterna så att då det finns ju inte registrerat inom databas men däremot så kan vi ju söka efter nyheter eller eller liksom hitta då att av de här tusen bolagen så är det de här 200 de åker väldigt mycket på mässor så att de skulle ha stor. Anders Hermansson (09:56.822) Och ställ dig ut på mässor. Niklas Gustavsson (10:23.854) är stor nytta av de tjänster som vår gemensamma kunder det här fallet tillhandahåller. Då är de i väldigt bra mappning mot ICP. Anders Hermansson (10:28.054) Fattar. Anders Hermansson (10:37.462) Just det. Det där är väldigt intressant. När jag pratade om ICP-er förr så tänkte att man ska kunna se på avstånd om det en ICP. Men då är det mer baserat på offentlig data som omsättning, bransch, antal anställda, affärsmodell och sådana där saker. Men här kan man med hjälp av maskinen göra en mycket djupa, mer detaljerad analys som du är inne på. Niklas Gustavsson (11:06.51) Ja, och det blir kanske någon form av mix mellan någon scoring och ECP-mappning då. För att är det inte så att bolaget ska åka på mässa utan det kanske är så att de använder mässor som sitt säljverktyg. Då har de nytta av våra tjänster. Eller att de Anders Hermansson (11:15.446) Ja, just det. Anders Hermansson (11:26.869) Just det. Niklas Gustavsson (11:35.022) de rekryterar bolag som rekryterar mer än de andra. De kanske har större behov av våra tjänster även om de inte har med rekrytering att göra. är alla digitala signaler som vi då kan få in med hjälp av Clay och de modeller som finns inbyggda där. Och så skicka in den informationen till CRM. Anders Hermansson (11:45.142) Mm. Anders Hermansson (12:03.253) Vad är det för datakällor som man kan gräva i för att få reda på de här grejerna? Niklas Gustavsson (12:14.19) Ja, dels så… Niklas Gustavsson (12:20.622) Klej har integrerat över 150 olika datakällor. LinkedIn är en datakälla. HG Insights är en annan datakälla. Apollo kan vara en tredje datakälla. är massa olika datakällor som är integrerade. Så normaliseras datan i Klej. Men sen kan du också då peka på egna datakällor. kan till exempel köra scraping mot alla bolag och scrapea bolagsdata därifrån. Om du vill ha senaste fem årens revenue-förändring eller eget kapitalförändring eller vinstförändring under de senaste fem åren så kan vi scrapea den datan därifrån. Anders Hermansson (12:56.245) Mm-hmm. Anders Hermansson (13:14.389) Mm. Niklas Gustavsson (13:16.686) Vi in den i systemet och göra saker baserat på det här. Anders Hermansson (13:25.013) Okej, och det du sa förut var att försöka mappa de förut som man har i sitt CRM mot en ICP. Bygger det alltid på att man börjar med en databas som man själv har i sitt CRM? Niklas Gustavsson (13:43.534) Nej det gör inte. När det gäller signalbaserat eller om man vill hitta intänts så. är det ju intänts eller signaler på företag eller personer som vi känner till. Men sen genom att du har de här över 150 datakällorna så kan du också använda det för att… Lägga in din, alltså så här ser vår idealkund ut och så får du fram din totala, adresserbara marknad. Så om du lägger in bolagen i en viss omsättning, en viss industri, en viss geografi och ett antal olika kriterier så får du också fram, det här är de företagen som finns. Vill du ha dem och vill du jobba med dem. Det blir för att source nya, någon form av list-storcing av nya kontakter eller nya bolag att jobba med och sen nya personer. Så det är det ena sättet att starta. Det andra sättet är att bevaka signaler på de här som man har sökt fram. Anders Hermansson (14:35.157) okay. Anders Hermansson (14:43.381) Just det. Niklas Gustavsson (15:03.598) eller på dem som man redan har. Anders Hermansson (15:05.972) Just det. Det här är intressant ju. Om vi nu tittar på att det har ju inte gjorts så här i alla år så att säga, utan nu finns det ju teknik då som möjliggör det här. Varför skulle du säga att det här är en relevant grej att fundera på nu? Givet hur saker och fungerar. Niklas Gustavsson (15:24.398) Det är väl som alltid när man håller på med det här tech-landskapet inom sälj och marknadsföring och naturligtvis så är det inom andra områden också. Anledningen till att det är relevant nu är att det kommer så mycket nya möjligheter hela tiden. Det kommer teknologi och funktioner och sådant som utvecklas exponentiellt. Och kostnaden av att inte göra någonting är ofta större än kostnaden av att göra saken. Man behöver väl på ett eller annat sätt utforska eller liksom… Anders Hermansson (16:11.604) Ja. Niklas Gustavsson (16:20.75) Nyttja de möjligheter som kommer fram helt enkelt. Anders Hermansson (16:24.02) Vad skulle du säga att i en säljare’s liv, vad är det för beteendeförändring som ska till för att man ska bli framgångsrik med det här? Niklas Gustavsson (16:36.654) Jag slits mellan att prata om säljare eller sälj som en funktion eller som en uppgift. Särskilt i ett typiskt svensk B2B-företag där man kanske inte är 30-18 säljare som man ofta är i de amerikanska bolagen. Det är ju kanske ofta utifrån det. Anders Hermansson (16:45.78) Mm? Mm? Niklas Gustavsson (17:06.574) som de större ekosystemen, Salesforce och HubSpot, bygger sina modeller. De bygger där utifrån att bolagsorganisation ser ut på ett visst sätt. Men jag har inga siffror på det, men jag tror att merparten av bolagen i Sverige och Skandinavien, de är inte… De är inte massor med säljare utan det är kanske en grundare, en vd, en försäljningschef eller några som ska göra, de ska sköta sälj samtidigt som de gör en massa andra saker. De har någon gång startat ett bolag, bolaget kanske omsätter 50 till 100 miljoner eller någonting och sedan Anders Hermansson (17:47.924) Mm. Niklas Gustavsson (17:55.47) Vill man ha tillväxt i det där för att man kanske vill göra en exit eller man vill göra bra vinst. Och då behöver då behöver ju säljet kanske byggas kring grundarens eller grundarteamets nätverk eller vdns nätverk eller man har kanske en eller två säljare som De är inte bara renodlade säljare. klart att det finns sådana bolag också. man tittar på de större mediahusen där det är renodlade säljare. Det som förändras mycket är att man kan lita på att det finns någonting som sker. Anders Hermansson (18:26.802) Nej jag fattar. Niklas Gustavsson (18:52.366) Det finns en motor som sköter den här prospekteringen. Samtidigt som som säljare har säljmöten eller samtidigt som jag som grundare vd sköter andra frågor som jag måste ta hand om i bolaget så vet jag att jag har ett stort nätverk på LinkedIn eller på andra kanaler och det sker, det är inte helt tyst utan det sker någonting Anders Hermansson (18:56.914) Mm-hmm. Mm. Anders Hermansson (19:09.841) Jästa. Niklas Gustavsson (19:21.294) i bakgrunden hela tiden som genererar aktivitet. Om man pratar om försäljning, om man lyssnar på de traditionella försäljningschefer, jag kommer ihåg en kille som jag jobbade med för många år sedan. Han sa att det den som lyfter luren flest gånger om dagen som säljer mest. Det är en klassisk gammal säljchefs-säjning. Anders Hermansson (19:28.177) Hysta. Anders Hermansson (19:44.146) Mm. Anders Hermansson (19:49.841) Ja, exakt. Niklas Gustavsson (19:50.446) Idag kanske vi inte lyfter luren på det här viset som man gjorde för 20 år sedan. Det är ju ändå så att det måste ske en viss aktivitet. Man måste höra av sig till dem som jag kanske hade kontakt med för två år sedan. För de har bytt jobb och är på något nytt ställe. Eller de har hamnat i en annan situation. Anders Hermansson (20:12.369) Mm-hmm. Niklas Gustavsson (20:17.902) Det är dags att ta en kontakt med det sådant som man både som säljare om man nu skulle vara renodlad säljare eller som vd med ett stort kontaktnät eller vilken person som helst. Man hinner inte med det och det är väl den stora förändringen. Med med den här typen av text. Anders Hermansson (20:42.961) Okej, jag försöker fantisera ihop en bild av hur vardagen skulle se ut för mig till exempel som deltidssäljare och allt i all på Business Reflex. Då rullar den här maskinen på och så plockar den upp signaler och den har ICP-profil och HEH. Vad händer rent konkret? jag ett mail så att nu ska du nog kontakta den här personen eller vad händer? Niklas Gustavsson (20:55.342) Mm. Niklas Gustavsson (21:10.926) Nej, alltså det är ett sätt som det skulle kunna vara men det vet vi hur det blir med task. Den listan är lätt att den bara byggs på och så sker inte det där. att det här outlösen sker ju per automatik. Det liksom triggas ett mail till den här personen. Det var länge sedan vi hade kontakt, det är över två år sedan. Jag ser att du har bytt jobb. Anders Hermansson (21:17.552) Mm. Anders Hermansson (21:22.576) Ja, exakt. Niklas Gustavsson (21:40.366) Läge och ta ett snack igen eller. Eller om det är då en ny person som man aldrig har pratat med förut så kan då Clay se att. Jag såg att du publicerade det här inlägget på LinkedIn som handlade om det här. Jag såg dessutom att du jobbar inom det här området. Vi hjälper bolag som och så vidare så att det blir liksom en. Det är där som är den här möjligheten nu då med att man att OpenAI och Claude och allting finns inbyggt i Klay och att det är connectat till alla de olika datakällorna så att det skulle kunna vara så att någon nu ser att hej Niklas, jag hörde att du var med i den här podden. om jag lägger upp det på min LinkedIn så skulle det kunna vara någon som tar kontakt med automatik med mig utan att de vet om det själva egentligen för det är promptningen i Clay som har gjort det här. Jag såg att ni var med i den här podden och hörde att ni pratade om det här och det här. Vore intressant att snacka med dig om de här och de här sakerna för du kanske har behov av att köpa våra tjänster. Anders Hermansson (22:40.079) Hej då! Anders Hermansson (22:51.023) Han fattar, okej. Anders Hermansson (23:02.927) Ja, det det. Nu försöker jag hitta modellen huvudet. ICP-definitionen låter mer statisk. Det är exempel du tog. Bolag har en viss storlek som är mycket på mässor. Det är binärt ett eller noll. Antingen det om det eller om inte. Då tycker jag att de ska ligga på min bevakningslista. Sen kollar jag efter signaler. Är det då den här timingen som är… Niklas Gustavsson (23:25.006) Nu. Anders Hermansson (23:35.503) Skulle du säga att tajmingen är en viktig komponent i det? Niklas Gustavsson (23:39.598) Ja, tajmingen och relevansen i vad man säger. Man pratar om att traditionell outbound är trasig och vi har förstört kanalen. Anders Hermansson (23:44.464) Mm. Anders Hermansson (23:54.255) Jag har minns sagt. Hej jag tittade på din website och va hur du det gjorde du inte. Niklas Gustavsson (23:59.726) Nej precis. Det är väl där som det verkligen finns möjlighet att få in ett kontext om personen och den situationen. Och sedan stoppa in sin affärsplan eller sin business DNA i den här agenten som då kan titta på personen som jag vill ta kontakt med. och skapa ett meddelande som faktiskt på riktigt blir relevant. Många har säkert testat själva i Chatt-QPT och liksom stoppat in då mottagarens website och lite annan information och sagt hjälp mig skriva ett outreach-meddelande till det här företaget. Och så får man fram förslag på det och så klipper man in det i sin mail och så skickar man ut den. Men grejen här är att det här sker helt per automatik. Ett exempel som jag tycker är riktigt bra är då en för egen del där det gick ut ett litet inmeddelande till en person som är vd på ett konsultbolag och så stod det så här, hej jag såg att era rapport omnämndes i regeringens beslutsunderlag angående det här och det här. Det var verkligen så att varken mottagaren, den här personen, här bolagen som hade gett ut rapporten, de visste naturligtvis om att de hade gjort rapporten men de visste inte att den hade omnämndes i regeringens beslutsunderlag. Anders Hermansson (25:28.398) Mm. Anders Hermansson (25:46.509) Mm. Niklas Gustavsson (25:47.822) Det blev extremt relevant. Jag ser inte det här förrän jag får ett svar av den här personen. Vad kul att du såg våra rapporter. Vart någonstans har du sett dem? Då blir det inte det här hej förnamn jag ser att du jobbar på bolaget X inom Industri Y. Anders Hermansson (25:56.237) Jästa. Anders Hermansson (26:03.117) Mm-hmm. Anders Hermansson (26:11.661) Ja, det. Niklas Gustavsson (26:13.006) Jag var inne på er webbsida och såg att ni erbjuder det här och det här. Det är ju precis som du sa att det är ju inte sant utan det är ju man har liksom skapat ett en template som man lagt in lite klamrar i det här mejlet att stoppa in förnamn, stoppa in motverketsbolags namn och industri. Här är det ju verkligen då hela Anders Hermansson (26:21.901) Hej. Niklas Gustavsson (26:40.494) Allt har skapats utifrån promptningen. Anders Hermansson (26:44.365) Fattar. Okej, här sättet att nå ut till folk, vad heter det, är det e-mail som med grejen? Niklas Gustavsson (26:54.286) Jag skulle säga att de kanaler som vi i huvudsak jobbar med är e-post och LinkedIn. jag skulle säga i tio fall av tio så är det båda de kanalerna lite tillspelsat. Men LinkedIn är en jättebra kanal också. Särskilt om man kommer lite längre. Det finns ju vissa begränsningar där på volym och sånt som inte finns på samma sätt på mail. Anders Hermansson (27:25.741) Ja, just det. Mm. Du, vad heter det… Jag tror jag pratade en del om vad AI kom in i bilden. Jag förstår ju att det är väl det som AI är bra på att tolka om ostrukturerad information till någon form av essens. Om man tittar på det här med… Om man ska göra det här, vad är vanligt misstag som man kan göra? Om man ska passa sig för. Niklas Gustavsson (27:49.326) Det vanligaste är att man egentligen bara gör som man har gjort förut. Man tar in nya verktyg och så tänker man att nu ska vi bara ha ett nytt outreach-verktyg. Så tänker man att man ska skala upp det. Anders Hermansson (28:07.916) Ja. Anders Hermansson (28:15.948) Mm. Niklas Gustavsson (28:19.534) Det är väl det vanligaste misstaget och att man jobbar listbaserat. Man tänker att vi ska söka fram nya företag och människor. Så ska vi nå ut till dem med samma sak. Anders Hermansson (28:35.629) Ja, det är som mailchimp liksom, fast man får in listan. Ja, okej. Niklas Gustavsson (28:38.446) Ja, Eller att man tänker att det är som sequenser i Hamsbot. Anders Hermansson (28:52.044) mer statiska. Niklas Gustavsson (28:52.43) Ja precis att man inte nyttjar signalerna och liksom promptningen för att skapa ett kontext av mottagaren innan man skapar utrymd meddelarna. Anders Hermansson (29:11.532) Ja, just det. Det som jag liksom hakar fast i ganska mycket det var ju det där med timingen. För gör du en sequens i Habsbottor, sen väntar du 14 dagar, så drar du med nummer 2 och så väntar du 14 dagar till. Då är ju det, du skjuter ju totalt blindt ur perspektivet. Vad håller mottagaren på med just nu, så att säga? Niklas Gustavsson (29:30.606) Ja, och så är det bara startat utifrån att du vill säga någonting till mottagaren. Det inte startat utifrån att mottagaren är i en viss situation. Det är inte startat utifrån att de har haft tre år med vinst eller det är inte startat utifrån att de har publicerat ett litet ininlägg eller att de… Eller det är heller inte startat utifrån att… Anders Hermansson (29:36.204) Exakt. Niklas Gustavsson (29:58.03) bolaget som mottagaren jobbar på har publicerat en viss nyhet inom ett visst ämne. Och de sakerna tyder ju på att mottagaren är i ett visst mindset och då vill man ju kanske hoka tag i det mindsetet som mottagaren är i för att de ska se det jag säger till dem så att man inte bara säger. Jag ser att du jobbar på företaget X. Jag vill berätta det här för dig utan att man. Anders Hermansson (30:11.148) Mm, exakt. Anders Hermansson (30:19.372) Åh, åh. Anders Hermansson (30:26.764) Exakt. Niklas Gustavsson (30:27.534) att man först ser dem och den situation som dom som mottagaren är. Anders Hermansson (30:35.98) Det leder mig lite in på det här med GDPR. Hur rimmar det med det här beteendet? Niklas Gustavsson (30:48.334) Ja, alltså… Man kan tänka så här att nu blir Niklas tyst och det där har han inte tänkt på. Men de frågorna kommer ju naturligtvis alltid upp. Allting som finns digitalt har ju någon någonstans gett en möjlighet till den de har lämnat den här informationen till att använda på ett eller annat sätt. Anders Hermansson (31:06.251) Mm. Niklas Gustavsson (31:26.158) Då har man ju liksom gett okej till att använda informationen. Publicerar jag nyhet på min hemsida så vill jag att Google ska hitta den nyheten och att den ska hittas av besökare eller av folk som söker efter den nyheten. Publicerar jag ett linked in-inlägg så vill jag att den ska synas och då är jag godkänt att Anders Hermansson (31:32.107) Mm-hmm. Niklas Gustavsson (31:55.79) att det syns i samband med att jag publicerar det på LinkedIn eller sannolikt i samband med att jag ens har ett LinkedIn-konto så är det godkänt en massa saker. Och vi får ju ofta liksom, eller jag ska inte säga att det sker ofta, det händer kanske en gång i månaden som våra kunder får frågan så här, var har ni hittat min e-postadress? Ja, för det är ju en vanlig grej då genom att Anders Hermansson (32:04.971) Mm. Anders Hermansson (32:18.986) Alla öster. Niklas Gustavsson (32:24.814) Genom att vi söker fram nya personer som avsändaren inte har haft någon dialog med sedan tidigare och så gör man en outreach till dem. Då kan ju de undra vart sjuttonen ni fått min mailadress. Och då är det alla de här olika datakällorna som då sitter på mailadresser och har liksom gjort till sin affärsidé att att hitta mailadresser och sälja där vidare i det ekosystemet. Anders Hermansson (32:52.202) Just det. Så det är som klerat i nivån innan, man säger så. Niklas Gustavsson (32:57.934) Ja precis. Sen är det här bara B2B. Då är det ju skälet att berättiga intresse. att anser man att den här informationen borde du vara intresserad av, då är det rätt att skicka den till dig för den är relevant för din arbetssituation eller för den situation som ert företag befinner sig. Men då har du full rätt att Anders Hermansson (33:06.218) Just det. Anders Hermansson (33:25.739) Öster. Niklas Gustavsson (33:27.822) att informera om möjligheter. Anders Hermansson (33:32.522) Just det. Jag brukar också säga, när i diskussioner med våra kunder om det här, brukar jag säga jag ingen jurist. Men det som man i de här bit-by-sammanhangen just kan lutas mot intresseavvägningsprincipen, att du är som professionell mottagare av information, inte skyddsvärd som ett barn är. Och det är ingen information om känslig data. Du är CFO, det är inte känslig information. Niklas Gustavsson (33:46.446) Ja. Anders Hermansson (34:02.218) som vi har på dig, så att säga. att det känns ju ganska… Men det är bra att beröra ämnet i alla fall för att när man tänker… Tanken går automatiskt dit när det blir så detaljerad information om en person i alla fall. Så… Ska vi försöka sammanfatta någon form av best practice om man nu liksom ska naila det här verkligen? Vad är det man behöver ha koll på för att kunna sätta igång och bli framgångsrik? Och hur ska man bete sig över tid för att fortsätta att bättre och bättre på det här? Niklas Gustavsson (34:03.47) Nej. Nej precis. Niklas Gustavsson (34:15.726) Så är det absolut. Niklas Gustavsson (34:33.773) Jag brukar säga det mer och mer, nu har hållit på med det här i två år ungefär och jobbat med både mindre och lite större bolag. Jag skulle säga att en av de absolut viktigaste sakerna är att skilja på list-thorsing och på sånt som då är signalbaserat. Anders Hermansson (35:02.473) Mm-hmm. Niklas Gustavsson (35:02.862) En signal kan också vara så här, nu har det gått 12 månader sedan vi förlorade en deal med det här företaget. Vi hade en diskussion med dem och vi lämnade en offert för 12 månader sedan. Det blev ingen affär då. Att per automatik komma tillbaka till dem. För det där vet man ju också att det blir inte gjort i CRM-systemet. Just det, ska höra av mig till det. Man jagar ju ständigt nya oftast. Anders Hermansson (35:11.209) Ja. Niklas Gustavsson (35:31.246) Så det kan ju också vara en signal, en information om att det borde ha kommit en signal som inte har kommit. De borde ha köpt men det de inte gjort. att de signalbaserade kampanjerna och skilja på dem och på list står sin kampanjer. Det skulle jag säga är en av de viktigaste sakerna. Och sen är det ju också att Att göra saker för att lära sig, att komma igång med någonting för att lära sig. Det något bland det viktigaste. Det kommer inte att bli perfekt. Det finns exempel där det blir fel också. Där man skriver om en gammal nyhet. slutet på mars och då var det ett exempel där vi sa att titta om det finns LinkedIn-inlägg som är mindre, alltså som är yngre än tre månader gamla. Ja då hittar du naturligtvis ett LinkedIn-inlägg som var god jul. Så då blev det att handla om LinkedIn Connect-request och medielandet handlade om god jul. Anders Hermansson (36:57.32) Jag fattar, det där är intressant. Det blir ju naturligtvis en verkstad där man behöver testa saker och tuna saker. Det kan ju vara en viktig sak att ta med sig. Det handlar inte om att installera som en ny glödlampa och så blir det ljusare och så har man den av eller på. Det här är liksom en process som kräver att man tunar den. Niklas Gustavsson (37:20.814) Ja det är det. Sen är det lite beroende på hur modig eller hur trygg man vill vara. Desto mer du går efter det här vi pratade om förut med klamrar för att bara stoppa in företags namn eller bransch och statiska mail eller statiska LinkedIn-meddelarna som går ut desto tryggare är det i att det inte kommer stå god jul. Anders Hermansson (37:45.831) Just det. Så är det ju. Niklas Gustavsson (37:48.494) Men det blir också väldigt tråkigt för mottagaren. Anders Hermansson (37:52.039) Eller så kommer det stå god jul, för han har glömt att uppdata sin sequence i sitt serial. Niklas Gustavsson (37:55.694) Ja, precis. Men det är inte heller så att det går ut. Det är också en ganska viktig sak som jag tror att man inte riktigt tänker på. Man kan ju faktiskt inte skicka hur många, även om du skickar sequences i HubSpot eller någon annanstans, så kan du ju inte dra iväg tusen mejl per dag från det ska gå från säljarens mejladress. Utan det finns ju ett max där och där är det liksom viktigt att då nyttja de här verktygen som säkerställer att det där sker på rätt sätt. det går ju liksom ofta så är ju grundinställningar i att vi börjar med 30 stycken personer per dag. Anders Hermansson (38:37.927) Just det. Niklas Gustavsson (38:49.71) Det går ett visst antal minuter emellan. Går det iväg något som är fel så kommer man ju hinna… Ja, det går till några stycken. Vi går in och tvikar på det här sättet. Anders Hermansson (38:59.751) Ja, just det. Anders Hermansson (39:04.616) Ja, just det. En grej som jag tycker är intressant här, är ju därmed beteendeförändringen. är ju samma sak som om man skulle ha på något annat sätt få igång en Leads, inkommande Leads. Det är ju just det där att man behöver ju vara redo då att ta emot och agera på de här mailsvaren. När någon reagerar på den där automatiska outreachen, då måste man ju faktiskt ha tid att… ta hand om de inkommande signaler som kommer från folk. För att inte är så att affären kommer göra sig av sig självt, antar jag, utan det är ju för att starta en konversation det här. Niklas Gustavsson (39:36.27) Vad är det för smut? Niklas Gustavsson (39:42.894) Så är det ju helt klart och man behöver ju ha med sig liksom de som sen ska ta mötet, boka mötet med kunden och ta dialogen. De behöver ju vara med i att det kommer att komma in på det här sättet. Vi har ju exempel där man har varit så inkörd på en viss process så att man missade, jag tror att det var nästan 100 Anders Hermansson (39:51.783) Exakt. Anders Hermansson (39:59.111) Just det. Niklas Gustavsson (40:11.758) 100 lids. De kom liksom in från vänster när organisationen var van i att vi har en dialer som står och ringer upp våra kunder. Så jag som säljare sitter bara här och tar de samtalen som kommer i dialen. Och så får jag nej på 99 av 100. Medan de här som har kommit in den andra vägen, de är ju varma så det kanske hade varit bättre effekt. Anders Hermansson (40:13.511) Ja, just det. Niklas Gustavsson (40:41.422) att jag hade kopplat bort mig från dialen och så hade jag ringt dem där. Då kanske jag hade fått ja på många fler. Anders Hermansson (40:47.014) Exakt. Anders Hermansson (40:51.046) Det du säger nu är viktigt att det nämns, även om det låter så otroligt självklart. Men just det där att man tänker igenom hela sin tratt ända till pengar på banken. Hur ska det gå till i alla steg? Och är alla beredda nu i den här tillverkningsprocessen av nya kunder? Det där kan man inte nog nämna. Niklas Gustavsson (40:58.99) Mm. Niklas Gustavsson (41:18.126) Det är oftast där som det Det här är nya verktyg. Det här är nya sätt att skapa tillväxt och att driva affärer. Det ett nytt sätt att sälja. Det är inte nya verktyg. Anders Hermansson (41:31.75) Ja, exakt. Nej. Bra grej. Om man ska försöka knyta ihop det här, nu har vi pratat om det här och kanske inspirerat folk och gett lite kunskap inom området. Vad skulle du säga om man sitter här som vd och blir lite särfande? Det där kanske vi borde titta på. Vad skulle vara absolut nästa aktivitet jag borde företag med för att se om det är relevant för mig att göra det här eller inte? Niklas Gustavsson (42:00.43) Nämen jag skulle säga att nästa relevant aktivitet är att göra någonting. Att börja skapa utrymme för att göra andra saker. Och då behöver man gå så pass långt ifrån det man gör nu. Anders Hermansson (42:08.902) Gör något. Niklas Gustavsson (42:27.694) Man behöver gå så pass långt från det man gör nu så att man inte fastnar i samma flöden eller samma mönster. Anders Hermansson (42:39.301) Mm. Om jag ska försöka tolka det du säger så att man behöver om man ska göra det så behöver man titta på det ur lite bredare perspektiv än att det bara är ja, vi köper den här programvaren och så lever den i sin lilla bubbla där utan det här är någonting som skulle påverka, är det så du menar, att det påverkar på lite bredare basis? Niklas Gustavsson (42:58.094) Ja precis och det är inte bara att öka outfrisen och att liksom, ja men vad bra då kan vi få en automatisering i det här. Så börjar vi få bjuda in till webinar eller till mässor eller till något med hjälp av det här. För då kommer man fastna i, bjuda in till webinar är ju en sak men det är ju någonting som vi vill tala om. Inifrån och ut. har ett webbinarie då och då. Det kanske vi vill nå ut med till nya personer men det är statiskt innehåll och då kan vi lika gärna kalla det som ett marketing mail från MailChimp eller från Hamspots. Så det är liksom. Ja, fundera på vad är det för saker som egentligen sker hos våra kunder som indikerar att de skulle kunna vara intresserade av våra tjänster eller produkter. Och hur skulle vi kunna hitta de signalerna? Anders Hermansson (43:59.14) Mm, smart. Ja, men det låter som en bra första fråga att ta tag i. Du, Niklas, supertack för att du öppnade upp den här världen kring signalbaserad försäljning och fick öka lite kunskap hos oss lyssnare och mig kring det här ämnet. Om man skulle vilja snacka mer om det här, hur får man tag på dig? Niklas Gustavsson (44:20.974) Det är mest LinkedIn. Det väl enklast. Det där vi hänger, mindwild.com och LinkedIn är väl enklast. Då lägger vi Lengting kanske någonstans. Anders Hermansson (44:24.164) Hallå? Det där vi hänger. Anders Hermansson (44:35.524) Grymt! Ja… Jag kan lägga länken i Zoonotes. Vad tror om det? Va? Ja men grymt! Tack så jättemycket för att du var med i Sälj Marknadsbådden! Niklas Gustavsson (44:41.774) Hallå? Niklas Gustavsson (44:47.758) Ja, men tack själv. Anders Hermansson (44:49.764) Hejdå! Niklas Gustavsson (44:51.246) Hejdå! The post Podd #249 – Signalbaserad försäljning appeared first on Business Reflex.

After some internet outages and StreamYard/AI issues, the Friggin' Farm & Ranch Report is back for March 19, 2026. We cover: - Markets: corn, beans, wheat, fats, feeders, and hogs – where they closed and why it still feels like a “wait and see” board with high feed costs and no relief for cattle feeders. - JBS Greeley strike: 3,800 workers out at a 6,000 head/day JBS plant that handles about 6% of U.S. beef capacity, why the union walked, what JBS is saying, and how that chokepoint throws the whole system into a holding pattern. - Ranch‑level fallout: what happens when fats back up in the yard, freight gets higher, local cash bids soften, and regional differences matter a lot more than they used to. - Texas & Nebraska wildfires: Panhandle and Sandhills fires, cattle and fence losses, and what USDA programs (LIP, ELAP, CRP emergency grazing, ECP fence/cleanup) actually cover – plus why documentation and deadlines matter if you want to see a check. - How to help: Nebraska Sandhills Rancher Fire Relief fund and how to donate online or by mail.

One positive was that, um, there are a couple of startups there, so, you know, kudos to them for, you know, making the investment. There was a. There was a startup around, you know, data analytics and, you know, bringing machine learning in. And then there was also another startup looking at recycling. [00:01:00] Um, really trying to get that, that food chain through of, um, you know, grinding and then turning into some sort of valuable product. Um, yeah. However, I think someone also from EPRI said that, you know, at the moment, you know, the recycling path is, you know, eight times more expensive than the, um, the landfill path. There was a lot of carbon discussion actually. So, and, um, yeah, a lot of discussion about repairs, a lot of discussion about testing, uh, a lot of discussion about, you know, how maybe a carbon blade can last 40 years. Um, so a lot of discussion about lifetime extensions around carbon. Um, but, but, but, but, you know, really, really hard to repair.  Allen Hall 2025: That goes back to the comments Rosemary and Morton Hanberg made about carbon blades. Should we be making. Carbon blades are not. And I think Morton’s opinion, and maybe Rosemary’s, I don’t wanna speak for her, was carbon blades are okay, but they are really difficult to repair. Almost impossible to repair. And is it [00:02:00] worth even building them?  Rosemary Barnes: I think if you consider the blade in isolation, then it probably is adding more headaches than it’s worth. But carbon fiber is a bit of an enabler for improvements across the whole system of a, a wind turbine. ’cause when you take, like you can take a lot of weight out of a blade by using carbon fiber. I mean, it’s never been cheaper to make a blade with carbon fiber than an equivalent blade with glass. You do, you buy the more expensive carbon fiber blade because it’s lighter, a like, a lot lighter, and then you can take, um, weight. It, it reduces the requirements for basically every other component in the wind turbine, but especially stuff like the pitch bearings. Um, so you solve a lot of other problems, but you create blade problems. So. I think if you ask some of the only works on maintaining blades, then you’re gonna be like, why would you make a carbon fiber blade? It is so much headache. Um, but that’s not the reason why they were ever made in the first place. [00:03:00] So you’d need to talk to, you know, somebody on, uh, I dunno, front end engineering. Someone from the sales team about why it is that they are going with a more expensive carbon fiber blade. Even acknowledging that they probably underestimate how many problems there are with o and m with, uh, carbon fiber blades. But even so, like they’re already aware that there are trade offs. Um, and yeah, there’s non blade reasons for, for taking, taking that pain.  Allen Hall 2025: Are there other fibers that could be substituted besides carbon? There, I, I know fiberglass. A, a good, relatively strong fiber and carbon obviously is much stronger. But are there things in the middle that could be substituted that are non-conductive? Rosemary Barnes: Uh, y yeah, there are, but carbon fibers, it’s not just strong. It’s really stiff. And that’s what its benefit is. Um, like there’s Kevlar but it’s not very stiff. So you would, we would make a really heavy blade if you used Kevlar. It would be probably bulletproof though. So I guess that would be a plus. I, I haven’t looked into it recently, but nothing is [00:04:00] at the, um, like got the performance specs and the cost specs that you would need to, um, make it replace carbon fiber. Matthew Stead: So one thing that I picked up I thought was pretty, uh, interesting was that by having a stronger, you know, carbon protrusion, you know, the, you know, the backbone of the blade, um, it took a little bit of pressure off the skin. And so therefore, um, you know, the life, life of the blade, um, and the ability to keep running it ’cause the skin is not so critical. Those seem to be a real, a real plus as well.  Rosemary Barnes: I don’t know, people talk about this in like absolutes, but everything is just a con continuum, right? Like you can make an all glass blade that would last a thousand years if you really wanted to. You just, you know, you just have to make it very, very strong. ’cause it’s, you know, it’s all based on fatigue lifetime. And the smaller that your, um, strain on every component in the blade is, then the less, um, the less fatigue damage is gonna accumulate. Making it a little bit stiffer will actually increase the lifetime by [00:05:00] a a lot. I think the main benefit to protrusions is just that you avoid all of the um, or you avoid a lot of the possibilities for manufacturing defects. It’s easy to control the manufacture ’cause carbon fiber, like much more so than glass fiber. It’s so, um, it’s so dependent on the fibers being perfectly straight. If you have a little wrinkle, like a little wrinkle is bad in glass fiber, but it’s like really bad in carbon fiber. So protrusions mean that you won’t get wrinkles. Uh, and you can, you know, control the manufacturing process a lot better, but they are barely repairable, right? So that’s the trade off. You can do some small repairs, but you’re not gonna be just. Um, if you’ve got a, a, a full thickness crack or something, it’s, you know, it’s gonna be game over. You’re not gonna be building that up again. Allen Hall 2025: Delamination and bottomline failures and blades are difficult problems to [00:06:00] detect early. These hidden issues can cost you millions in repairs and lost energy production. C-I-C-N-D-T are specialists to detect these critical flaws before they become expensive burdens. Their non-destructive test technology penetrates deep to blade materials to find voids and cracks. Traditional inspections, completely. Miss C-I-C-N-D-T Maps. Every critical defect delivers actionable reports and provides support to get your blades. Back in service, so visit cic ndt.com because catching blade problems early  Yolanda Padron: will save you millions.  Allen Hall 2025: Well keep going on the, the subject of blades. Imagine if you were selling your house and you told the bank you owe nothing on it. Then the bank shows up with a bill for over a hundred million dollars. That is essentially what’s happening right now in the TPI composites bankruptcy. Uh, the wind blade manufacturer canceled its [00:07:00] February 17th asset auction after only one bidder came forward. A firm called ECP five LLC, which is, uh, part of Energy Capital Partners, which is based in New Jersey. Uh, but before TPI. Can hand over the keys. It has to settle up with its business partners. TPI told the court many of those partners were owed little or nothing. Uh, the partners check their books. Strongly disagree. Now, the judge has a mountain of competing claims to sort through before the sale can close. And everyone, I mean, the, the claims are big. Uh, there are several large names listed, and if you go through the filings, uh, Siemens C Mesa is probably the largest one, and it, it claims TPI owes about 84 million plus an unpaid inspection, repair, and replacement costs. Plus under 22 million [00:08:00]under apparent guarantee. Others include Aurora Energy Services stating it is owned about $5 million, uh, for post-bankruptcy services, plus 38,000, uh, for before the filing of bankruptcy. The landlord up in Iowa for the TPI facility there is objecting because they’re owed some rent. Some other ones include, uh. Oracle, uh, which is, uh, has a lot of software licenses that TPI currently has, and they’re saying those licenses will not swap over to the new owner. So there, this is a series of these filings going on at the minute, and they’re pushing back the closing of the, uh, sale hearing until March 9th. So they got about another two weeks as we record right now. This is a big deal and, and although I have seen almost nothing about it in the press. Because it’s hard. One, it’s hard to find, and two, it’s really [00:09:00] difficult to sort through. Uh, but it is a major milestone for TPI that they’re gonna be able to sell the, or at least transfer ownership to, uh, energy capital partners. And the none of the buyers investors had bought part of the facilities. But GE Renova or Siemens cesa, for that matter, are not involved, at least at the top level. Which is really to, in my opinion, odd. I thought GE Renova would’ve been involved, at least at some level. They have been supporting TPI through this process. But in terms of going forward, doesn’t look like too much is going on with Renova or Siemens Ga Mesa in, in terms of the operations of these facilities. Thoughts.  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah, I agree. It’s strange that they wouldn’t have taken that opportunity and that makes me wonder what I don’t know that, you know, ’cause obviously it’s not a strange decision to the people who have made it so. They’ve got more information, a lot more information than us. So what is it that made it unappealing to them? That’s, um, that’s my question. [00:10:00] Yolanda Padron: What did TP, I think was gonna happen with all of that money that they owe everyone?  Allen Hall 2025: Well, it’s a bankruptcy hearing. Obviously they like to wipe that debt free and so would Energy Capital partners. They don’t wanna pay the a hundred million plus of whatever, uh, the court would ict, but. You just like to get the assets. If you can do it, that’s your cheapest option if you’re Energy Capital partners. But do you see Energy Capital Partners running the facilities? There’s a lot of organization within TPI that manages those facilities and controls the operation. From the quality side engineering side, there’s, there’s a lot of pieces to TPI here. Do you think they’re just gonna pick it up and run, run the company as it stands today? Or, or,  Rosemary Barnes: oh my goodness. I would be so nervous to, um, buy blades, uh, from them in that situation. I mean, we’ve seen so many examples in the last few years of decisions being made by senior management that have really compromised the quality at the end of the day. Like in theory, yes, the factory, you know, all the processes are in place to do things. Um, to do things [00:11:00] right, but you know, as soon as they get the next new project, which they’re doing constantly, right? It’s not like they just make a blade and they just make it over and over again. They make many different kinds of blades. There’s decisions to be made and you’re trying to get the price right and the quality right. And then, you know, given that we know that TPI was not profitable the way they were doing it before, they’re gonna have to spend less money. Then somebody who isn’t from the industry is making those calls about where to save it. It just seems like totally implausible to me.  Matthew Stead: Can I just add though, you know, TPI was mentioned multiple times at, um, at Blades, USA, and so, you know, a lot of people are relying on them or have relied on them and so forth. And so maybe this is a strategy about supporting the industry into the future. Like I think Alan, you, you said that they’re involved in, um, this investment business has other wind assets, so maybe it’s just like. Securing supply chain and, which I mean, that’s a pretty logical approach, isn’t it?  Allen Hall 2025: Oh, it would be. Uh, they’re about 50% owners of Ted’s US onshore fleet and a number. There are [00:12:00] other projects they’re involved in a number of renewable projects. Uh, so it would make sense for them to try to keep the supply chain going. But the largest purchaser of GB GE turbines that I know of is NextEra. So you would think NextEra would want to step into the mix too and at least in all the court filings, I haven’t seen much from NextEra or nothing from them at all. It if Osted US is wanting to keep their supply chain and Energy Capital partners wanted to keep the supply chain going, that would make a lot of sense to me. However, I just don’t know if they have the infrastructure to manage it. As Rosemary has described on numerous occasions running LM wind power is not easy. There’s just a lot of moving pieces, supply chain problems. You’ve got people problems, you have quality problems, you have repair problems, warranty issues. It’s a lot to that business. It isn’t like you’re stamping out widgets. You, you have a responsibility to that product after it goes out into [00:13:00] service. So if you have problems out in service, you’re, you’re kind of on the hook for all those warranty claims. It’s complicated.  Rosemary Barnes: You make it sound like I was running lm  Yolanda Padron: Rosie runs the world. Rosemary Barnes: I just wanna make it clear I was not running lm  Allen Hall 2025: Not yet. Rosie. There’s still time.  Rosemary Barnes: I was ru running one very tiny, tiny corner of it.  Yolanda Padron: I’d almost be curious ’cause like since ECP is so much into risk management and just, just in general, they have so many things that they are like part owners in, but they don’t necessarily manage the day to day hands on. Uh. I’d almost be curious to see if maybe they take a page out of Rosie’s book and try to make one thing. Well,  Matthew Stead: mm, that’d be novel, wouldn’t it?  Rosemary Barnes: It has actually been tried before. Um, you know, it’s, it’s uh, not something that has escaped the notice of blade engineers, uh, that if you make one thing, you can do it right. And wind turbine blades are a pretty similar there. No, you know, like great [00:14:00] differentiator between. How well performing the blades are from one company to another. I know at, at least at lm, they did have a blade that they designed, and their plan was to sell just heaps and heaps of those to multiple different manufacturers and just no one wanted it. Um, so it just quietly died. Um, so yeah, the, the concept is good. I think it’s. A little bit harder to pull off than you would hope. There are also some Chinese companies that are kind of selling just parts, generic parts. And so if you wanted to make your own wind turbine, um, company, if you wanted to be a wind energy o and m Yolanda, you could just buy an assortment of parts from Chinese manufacturers and put a. Yolanda Wind energy sticker on it and um, and, and, and you could be an an OEM. So it is, it, it, it is possible. I haven’t seen any of these out in the wild. Um, I have [00:15:00] heard of, you know, people considering it for, you know, certain aspects of certain types of projects. So it kind of exists in a way.  Matthew Stead: But the financial aspect, I mean, that’s accounting 1 0 1, I mean. You gotta know your assets and to owe people a hundred million dollars, that’s absolutely shocking. Really?  Allen Hall 2025: They owed a lot more than that before the bankruptcy. It is a lot of money.  Matthew Stead: How do you miss that?  Allen Hall 2025: Well, I don’t think they missed it. I just think the warranty claims and some of the repair that was going on and the, the, it sounded like price discounting was happening to some of the OEMs just caught up to ’em. But at the end of the day, I, I, I guess the question is. Does TPI as an entity remain? Obviously the Vestas portion will, because Vestas is gonna make them Vestas factories in a sense, and, uh, integrate as part of their overall operations. But Renova is not, Siemens is not interested in doing it, at least as we speak. No one’s [00:16:00] making any noise over at Nordex. It, it does leave these assets questionable as to what the real value is. We haven’t heard how much, uh, ECP has paid for them yet. The Vestas factories that were purchased, I think the, the two TPI factories in Mexico, I think Vestas paid about $10 million for each factory, which is a really inexpensive price to pay for new factories because Vestus had talked about at one point a year or two ago, about standing up a new factory saying it would cost him roughly a half a billion dollars to do. So buying a, that same asset for $10 million is a discount, a deep, deep discount, which maybe Vestas figures, Hey, it’s 20 million bucks, plus they got the India operations. Uh, it’s not that much money. If it all goes sour, it’s not that much money and we’re okay. Whereas Ver Nova decided to not to participate in that. As wind energy professionals, staying informed is crucial, and let’s face it difficult. That’s why [00:17:00] the Uptime podcast recommends PES Wind Magazine. PES Wind offers a diverse range of in-depth articles and expert insights that dive into the most pressing issues facing our energy future. Whether you’re an industry veteran or new to wind, PES Wind has the high quality content you need. Don’t miss out. Visit p ps wind.com. Today, over in Denmark, a fight has been brewing between offshore and onshore wind developers and. Sted once State Aid brought back for offshore wind auctions, onshore developers say that would tilt the playing field against them. Well, some have even walked out on their own trade group, uh, over it. Now the new CEO of Wind Europe, Tina Van Stratton, uh, is stepping in the middle of that discussion with a simple message. We need both. Don’t let offshore and onshore wind divide us. Nearly 90% of Europe’s installed wind capacity sits currently on land, and [00:18:00] she says that is not going to change anytime soon. Uh, so there, there is a big dispute about this right there. There does seem to be a, a amount of money being poured into offshore wind and requests of governments to support offshore wind at the same time. Onshore wind, which has been the primary growth market for wind in Europe, is getting the cold shoulder. In a sense. How does this play out everyone? Is there a, a good solution to it or is the need for offshore wind so great that, that they have to ignore onshore wind development for a couple of years?  Matthew Stead: I think we should just all be friends. So, I mean, really. Yeah, we need both and, um, I mean for the diversity and, you know, uh, I’ll leave all the technical topics to Rosie, but, um, um, really I think we need both. I mean, so what, it’d be crazy to, to drop the onshore, onshore industry.  Yolanda Padron: Yeah. I mean, it makes sense that, or said, especially Orid Europe doesn’t have any onshore anymore. Right. So it’s just [00:19:00]offshore. It would make sense that they really wanna push for help for themselves. And it’s, it’s great. It, it’s, it’s great to help, but I, I agree with Matt. Allen Hall 2025: Well, the Northern Europe and Scandinavian countries are talking about 100 gigawatts in the water by what, 2050? Something of that sort. So that’s a lot of energy in the water. In order to do that, you have to devote a number of resources to it, which. Will mean onshore wind is not gonna get the support it probably deserves, even though it has a proven track record. Rosemary Barnes: I just think it, it’s really interesting because I guess wind is, um, a very Europe. LED industry. Um, and so yeah, in Europe, e everything big and exciting is in offshore and the volume is in offshore. Um, I feel like that’s kind of filtered through to other regions though, because I mean, in Australia we don’t even have any offshore wind yet. We are probably getting some, but you go to any wind energy event, it’s gonna be. [00:20:00] More than 50% offshore wind and sometimes like 90% offshore wind, um, focused, which is, I think crazy when onshore is, is exists and has plenty of problems that need to be solved, and we need to be building more, a lot faster. I, I do actually wish that. If we could spend as much of the, you know, like some of the effort and the political effort that’s going into paving the way for offshore wind, I think would be much better spent on solving the problems. Um, the obstacles stopping us from rolling out onshore wind faster. Because we’re not on track in Australia to meet our renewable energy targets if we can’t get that under control. And then in the US yes you have some offshore wind, but it is not a growth industry at the moment or it’s not very appealing at the moment, at least. Right. So, and I dunno how much you talk about it there, but I do hear a lot of, like a whole lot of talk about offshore compared to how important it is for regions outside of Europe. Yolanda Padron: I think it’s important too to [00:21:00] note that. When you have a lot of offshore wind in your fleet, like you can sometimes test out products onshore that maybe they’re, of course not the exact same conditions, but you can test out products to a degree onshore. And I’ve seen, you know, owner operators that have to go across continents just to test that product because it’s cheaper to do that onshore than to do it offshore in your home site, in your backyard. So I mean that that would really benefit from an RD standpoint. It would really benefit everyone. If  Allen Hall 2025: they gave it up attention  Yolanda Padron: to onshore.  Rosemary Barnes: When I was at lm, one of my, well my key team member who was an electrical engineer, he had, um, done a bunch of work for a system that was only implemented on an offshore wind farm. And it sucked up so much time when stuff started going wrong with that, like even small things. And he was the only one [00:22:00] that could do it. You know, you go out, if you’ve got a five minute job to do, to get, you know, like turn something off and on again off. Reconnect something that’s a whole day of work, right? Like you, and, and not like a normal day, but like a 12 hour day, you’re gonna go out in the morning, they, you know, they go around in a boat or whatever and drop people off and they don’t come get you when you’re done 10 minutes later, you know, they come get you at the end of the day when they’re picking everyone up again. So, um, it, it was, it was incredibly challenging. I mean, for him personally and the team. Um, and I always recommend to, or, you know, sometimes I’m advising, um, companies that have offshore wind, um, technologies. And I’m always advising anything that you can test on shore, do it and get creative about it as well. ’cause you might think that you can’t, you certainly can’t get all the way there without testing in your real operating environment. But any problem that could happen onshore that you, um, learn about when it’s onshore is gonna cost you probably like, you know, one 10th as much [00:23:00] to fix. Um. So, and, and the time as well. So, yeah, I, I think that you’re right that we should be actually considering onshore as an opportunity for, um, improving offshore technology as well.  Allen Hall 2025: Can we talk about, uh, data centers for a minute? Just off the top of mind, I’ve been listening to a number of podcasts over the last month or two talking about powering AI data centers and how much coal or natural gas. It’s gonna be needed to provide the stable, reliable power that these data centers supposedly need. In the meantime, there’s like this industry being built, uh, and you see the, the purchases of gas turbines going out to like, what, 2032? I think it’s what Renova is talking about now is when you could actually get in line for a gas turbine. Other manufacturers or gas turbines are basically saying the same thing in the meantime. [00:24:00] Elon Musk and SpaceX are talking about putting AI data centers up in space where you don’t have any regulatory issues. You don’t have to burn coal or natural gas or any of these things. So the, the ground-based AI data centers appear to be locked into making these really expensive buildings and assets and putting generation and transmission and, and this infrastructure together, which will cost them. Hundreds of millions at a minimum, likely tens of billions of dollars to do, and that’s just in the United States. Meanwhile, SpaceX is really on a pathway of doing this up in the sky for probably a fraction of the cost. Is there a break point here? Because it does seem like the, the natural gas, coal, oil, petroleum industry and the on ground build, the building, people are ignoring that. SpaceX has a [00:25:00] capability of doing this, and if Musk decides to do it, and SpaceX decides to do it, that all those gas turbine orders, all that infrastructure, all the gas pipeline, all the drilling that would have to happen would just go immediately. Poof. Gone.  Rosemary Barnes: I don’t know about immediately because I mean, we’re not at the point yet where you can just launch a data center into space. So there is a bit of a, a, a transition period. Um, I. I also think that it’s overblown that, you know, I think you might have even fallen into the trap also, where you’re like, oh, when data centers need more energy, so therefore it has to be coal or gas or nuclear.  Allen Hall 2025: Nope, I agree with you.  Rosemary Barnes: Those things aren’t quick to build either. If you truly wanted to do it quickly, you’d be putting in, um, you know, heaps of solar panels and batteries and, and you know, wind turbines where that made sense. But that said, I, I do agree that, uh, like I, I don’t think space-based data centers is farfetched at all. I, I guess the biggest [00:26:00] challenges, uh, are, um, the cooling and heating requirements space has very large temperature fluctuations. So I guess you’re gonna need to design that carefully. I don’t think it’s insurmountable. Um, and then the next thing is a cost of launch, which I’m sure you’re about to tell me how. Dramatically the cost of launch is dropping. Um, you know, like, it, it’s got, it’s got a very good learning curve. The space launches, which is basically, you know, SpaceX is probably the main reason why that is just dropping and dropping and dropping. So I don’t think that it’s unrealistic at all. I don’t know the timeframe. You would know more, Alan, you work in, um, aerospace. I just. You know, um, follow it for general interest.  Matthew Stead: I reckon it’s stupid. He’s really stupid on a number of grounds. So first of all, you know, why do that when. You just, I can’t see how it can ever be more cost effective and you know, [00:27:00] I, you know, you should really, should be putting that effort into things like, you know, better healthcare and so forth. I mean, what a waste of resources. But why? I mean, why, why?  Allen Hall 2025: Because it’s a lot less expensive and it’s faster.  Matthew Stead: You’d do it in the ocean before that, wouldn’t you?  Rosemary Barnes: No, but the ocean still has, like how do you power it? You, you get the 24 7 solar power in space. That’s what you. That’s what you get, um, which you can’t get on Earth  Matthew Stead: or you put it next to a wind farm and you, you, and you make the load go up and down depending on the wind. I mean, seriously, there’s so many other ways of doing it. You put it next to a wind and solar.  Rosemary Barnes: I agree with you, Matt, that I think that the, the bulk of the solutions with data centers is gonna come from one demand not being what people think it is today. Like the numbers that get reported are just like the. Absolute best, best, best case scenario and then multiplied by three or four times because they’re looking at different options for locating each of the data centers they plan to make. So I think I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up with 10% of what people think that we’re gonna get. [00:28:00] Now, the first thing, secondly, people assume that it needs to be 24 7. Just, you know, like a hundred percent reliable power, and that’s. That’s simply, yeah, it’s not, not everything needs to be just, um, you know, done at, at the exact time that it’s requested. There’s heaps of things that can be shifted and uh, when the price differential is there, then people are naturally going to choose that. And in fact, there are already some companies offering different levels of reliability depend, you know, for different prices. And companies can choose which of their processes can be put on hold. Like a lot of the training stuff, you’re happy don’t. Need 99.999% reliability, you’re probably happy with 90% reliability. And so, you know, if it costs a whole lot less than you will, I, I agree with you, Matt, that that’s gonna take most of it. But I do still think that for the, like, super reliable, um, data centers, I, I bet that we see at least one. And even if it’s just because Elon Musk is the type to push something through, um, you know, [00:29:00] first and. Wait for the market to catch up later. Uh, maybe that will be the reason, but I, I honestly think it’s more than 50% likely that we see a data center in space in the next, in the next decade,  Matthew Stead: it would make more sense to like drill a hole to the center of the earth and get the, the hot well cutting rock  Rosemary Barnes: and or there’s also plenty of geothermal. You did thermal projects as well.  Matthew Stead: Yeah, it’s just ridiculous.  Rosemary Barnes: I think that we’ve had our first hot take from Matthew, so I don’t know some sort of sound effect to be added here.

In this second Best Of compilation, our team distilled the most powerful insights from 2025, and some from 2024—of Investing in Integrity. Spanning leadership, culture, and purpose-driven finance and investing, this special edition brings together defining moments from more than 40 conversations with some of the world's most thoughtful executives, investors, and builders.Rather than a simple highlight reel, this episode revisits key voices across multiple dimensions of leadership — reflecting how the same principles show up differently in how we lead, how we build culture, and how we deploy capital. Selecting these moments was no easy task, but each was chosen for its ability to inspire us to think more deeply our lives and our work. It's divided into three sections:Leadership That Transforms: We begin with reflections on leadership at its core — how leaders think, grow, and show up when stakes are high. Featuring Howard Marks, Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of Oaktree Capital Management; Bill George, former Board Director at Goldman Sachs, Executive Education Fellow at Harvard Business School, and author of True North; Doug Kimmelman, Senior Partner at ECP; and Steve Ellis, Co-Managing Partner of The Rise Fund at TPG, this section explores humility, self-awareness, conviction, and the evolving nature of values. Together, these insights illuminate what it truly means to lead with character in complex environments.Culture, Purpose & Integrity: We shift into the essential work of shaping organizational culture through the experiences of Bei Ling, CHRO at Wells Fargo; Pamela Alexander, Head of Corporate Citizenship at KKR; and Howard Marks (returning), this section reveals how trust is built, how purpose is operationalized, and how integrity becomes a guiding force inside the world's most influential institutions.Finance as a Force for Good: Finally, we explore how leadership and culture translate into action — particularly in the world of finance. Featuring Steve Ellis (returning), Trae Stephens, General Partner at Founders Fund, and Greg Shell, Partner at Goldman Sachs, this closing section demonstrates how capital, when aligned with long-term thinking and human impact, can be a powerful force for good. These voices challenge us to move beyond profit alone toward outcomes that expand opportunity and strengthen communities.In closing, Howard Marks shares a final reflection on generosity, underscoring the importance of giving back as a cornerstone of purposeful leadership.Whether you're leading a team, shaping culture, entering finance, or striving to grow personally and professionally, this episode is designed to accelerate your development and deepen your sense of purpose.This compilation isn't just a highlight reel — it's a blueprint.A blueprint for leadership anchored in character.A blueprint for careers aligned with purpose.A blueprint for a financial system that lifts society up.We've curated this episode to equip you with actionable insights you can carry into your work, your relationships, and your life.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Joseph Pidala from the Moffitt Cancer Center to discuss chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a complex condition affecting many stem cell transplant survivors. We focus on the latest prevention strategies, treatment innovations, and the critical role that clinical trials continue to play in advancing care.We begin with promising news around prevention. Dr. Pidala shares data from the BMT CTN 1703 trial, which compared conventional GVHD prevention to a newer approach using post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy). This newer strategy significantly reduced the incidence of both acute and chronic GVHD, signaling a major step forward in preventing this debilitating condition.Despite advancements, many patients still experience chronic GVHD, which drives the need for new treatments. We explore several groundbreaking clinical trials that are rethinking traditional steroid-heavy treatment protocols. One study is testing Rezurock (Belumosudil) as a preemptive treatment during early symptoms, while another is investigating whether Jakafi (Ruxolitinib) can be used as a first-line treatment to reduce steroid reliance. These trials challenge old norms and aim to improve long-term outcomes.We also take a look at the four FDA-approved therapies currently available for steroid-refractory chronic GVHD: Ibrutinib, Jakafi, Rezurock, and the most recent addition, Axatilimab (Niktimvo). These drugs, each with different mechanisms and side effects, give patients and clinicians more flexibility than ever before. We touch on other widely used therapies like ECP (photopheresis), which, while not FDA-approved, remain an important part of care.Patient involvement is a key theme throughout. Dr. Pidala emphasizes that progress would be impossible without those who enroll in clinical trials, sharing inspiring examples of patients who benefited from early access to now-approved drugs. He encourages patients to advocate for themselves and speak up about symptoms, improvements, or quality of life changes. Patient-reported outcomes are becoming standard in trials, offering critical insight into treatment success from the patient's perspective.Dr. Pidala also highlights the importance of addressing GVHD holistically. Beyond core treatments, supportive care—including help with dry eyes, itching, joint mobility, pain, and mental health—is crucial to improving day-to-day life. He stresses that long-term recovery is possible and shares a moving story of a young woman with severe GVHD who, through persistent treatment, regained functionality and returned to a fulfilling life.We close with advice for patients: be proactive, informed, and open to trial participation. And when seeking information on trials, always start by asking your clinical team—they'll know what's available and suitable for your specific situation. Above all, Dr. Pidala leaves us with a message of hope—there's real progress being made, and the future looks brighter than ever.Thanks to our Season 19 sponsors, Incyte and Sanofi.https://incyte.com/https://www.sanofi.com/en00:40 – Introduction to Dr. Joseph Pidala01:21 – New GVHD Prevention Approaches02:44 – Why Clinical Trials Matter03:22 – Challenging Steroid-Based Treatment Norms06:14 – Timeline for New Treatment Results07:02 – FDA-Approved Drugs for Chronic GVHD09:09 – Individualized Treatment Approaches10:69 – The Role of Patient-Reported Outcomes13:44 – Symptom Management and Supportive Care15:20 – Addressing Mental Health in GVHD17:30 – Inspirational Patient Story21:12 – Advice for GVHD Patients23:02 – How to Find Clinical Trials25:06 – Final Thoughts and Message of Hope National Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKFollow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/The nbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.To participate in the GVHD Mosaic, click here: https://amp.livemosaics.com/gvhd Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

For decades, the United States stood as the world’s dominant cultural power, shaping global life through Hollywood, Pop Culture, and Silicon Valley. Today, that influence is shifting. Since Donald Trump’s second presidential term began in 2025, Washington has pursued a course that not only reduces cultural outreach – such as cutting exchange programmes like Fulbright – but also signals a substantial shift in geopolitical strategy. The recently published US strategy paper calls for the US to exert significant influence over Europe’s political development, and even encourages „resistance to the current course“ within Europe, raising alarm in European countries. At the same time, inter­national organizations such as UNESCO and the WHO have lost a key partner. The result is a cultural vacuum felt worldwide – from lecture halls to museums to state-funded media. What happens when the former soft power superpower loses its appeal? Who will step in to fill the gap, and what opportunities does this create for Europe to redefine its cultural role? In this episode, Amira El Ahl discusses these tectonic shifts in global influence with Edward Knudsen, who shares insights from his latest report, “Domination Without Hegemony? The Emerging Contest to Fill the US’ Soft Power Vacuum”, published by the ifa research program in cooperation with the Hertie School. Shownotes: Find the ECP report: “Domination Without Hegemony?

Ele é um exemplo de dedicação e disciplina. Sócio do Esporte Clube Pinheiros desde o nascimento, foi lá que teve seu primeiro contato com o esporte. Durante a infância e adolescência, praticou diversas modalidades, como futebol, taekwondo, surfe, remo e tênis, onde chegou a ser federado. Nos anos de faculdade, treinou natação e corrida com a equipe de triathlon do Pinheiros, o que lhe conferiu um excelente condicionamento físico para o surfe e o futebol. Formou-se e focou no trabalho por alguns bons anos, treinando esporadicamente. Só em 2016, após o nascimento da primeira filha, incentivado por seu cunhado, decidiu voltar a se dedicar mais seriamente ao esporte. Comprou uma bicicleta e estreou em uma prova de triathlon. Em 2018, sua segunda competição já foi o Ironman 70.3 de Bariloche. No ano seguinte se dedicou mais e competiu no Ironman 70.3 de Florianópolis, onde garantiu sua vaga para o mundial da distância daquele ano. Quando decidiu que estava pronto para experimentar uma prova de Ironman, veio a pandemia e adiou seus planos, muito embora tenha conseguido manter-se bem treinado por quase dois anos, até a sua estreia na distância, que aconteceu em Cozumel, em setembro de 2021.     Para a sua surpresa, tudo deu certo e ele completou a prova em 8h29', foi vice-campeão de sua categoria e garantiu a tão cobiçada vaga para o Campeonato Mundial em Kona, no Havaí. Na prova, ele brilhou novamente, conquistando o 4º lugar em sua faixa etária. Em 2023, conquistou títulos como o de campeão de sua categoria no Ironman Florianópolis e além de um 15º lugar no Mundial de Ironman realizado em Nice, ele foi vice campeão da sua faixa etária. Já em 2024, repetiu o título em Florianópolis e o vice-campeonato na sua categoria no Mundial de Kona, consolidando-se como um dos grandes nomes do triathlon amador brasileiro.
