Kim described a challenge that many small business owners quietly struggle with, operational chaos. While most businesses focus on growth strategies, marketing, and sales, the reality is that many of the real bottlenecks exist behind the scenes. Missing processes, lack of documentation, and inconsistent workflows often lead to missed details, communication breakdowns, and a constant cycle of “putting out fires.”Kim shares insights from her experience working with business owners across industries, highlighting a key theme: it's rarely a lack of effort that holds businesses back, it's a lack of structure.The conversation dives into practical approaches to bringing clarity and organization into a business, including the importance of documenting processes, building repeatable systems, and identifying which tasks truly require the owner's attention. Together, Ajay and Kim also discuss the mindset shift needed to move from doing everything yourself to creating a business that can operate efficiently and sustainably.This episode is especially valuable for business owners who feel overwhelmed by day-to-day operations, are struggling to scale, or are looking to create a more structured and resilient organization. Key Takeaways: Why lack of structure, not lack of effort, is the root cause of many business challengesThe importance of documenting processes to create clarity and consistencyHow to identify tasks that should be delegated or outsourcedThe role of systems and workflows in building a scalable businessWhy businesses should be built in a way that allows continuity and long-term growth

Growing a client base from the hundreds into the thousands requires both tech and talent. Today's guest discusses how she's done both in order to serve more than 3,000 advice-only clients over the past three years. Lori Atwood is the founder of Fearless Finance. In this episode, she shares why she built her own internal planning software platform to meet the needs of her ideal target clients, how her "hub-and-spoke" advisor structure helps maintain culture and consistency across her firm, and how she spends 18% of her revenue on client acquisition yet ends up with a per-client acquisition cost that's lower than the industry average. Lori also discusses how prospects (who sometimes use AI tools to answer personal finance questions) often come to her for "confirmation, not information" on their financial situations and how she's found it gratifying to be the first call her (largely working-age) clients make when they face an unexpected financial contingency and to be able to provide them with meaningful solutions.

Energy’s brightest innovators. This is the Progress Powering tomorrow. Allen Hall: Nicholas, welcome back to the show.  Nicholas Gaudern: Thanks, Allen. Always a pleasure.  Allen Hall: Well, there’s a lot of new products coming outta PowerCurve. And PowerCurve is the aerodynamic leader in add-ons and making your turbines perform at higher efficiency with less loss. Uh, so basically taking that standard OEM blade and making it work the way it was intended to work. Nicholas Gaudern: Yes. We  Allen Hall: like to  Nicholas Gaudern: think so. Yeah.  Allen Hall: And there’s a, there’s a lot of new technology that you’ve been working on in the lab that you haven’t been able to explore to the, introduce to the world, so to speak. Yeah. And we’ve seen some of it from the inside of, you know, you’re working behind the scenes or working really hard to get this done, but now that technology has been released to the world, and we’re gonna introduce it today, some new trailing edge. [00:01:00] Components. Yeah. That really, really reduce the noise. But they, they look a little bit odd. Yes. There’s a lot of ADON dams going on with  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah.  Allen Hall: With these. So what, what do you call these new trailing edge parts?  Nicholas Gaudern: So, so what you have in your hand here? This is the Silence edge, uh, serration. So this is our new trailing Edge Serration products. Now, most people, when they think of training restorations, they are thinking of triangles.  Allen Hall: Exactly.  Nicholas Gaudern: These Dino tails. Dino Tails, that’s the Siemens, Siemens name for them. Pretty, pretty standard. You see ’em on a lot of turbines now. Sure. And they work, you know, they do do a job. They do a job. They reduce noise. But like with lots of things in, in aerodynamics, there’s lots of different ways that you can solve a problem and some are better than others. So we’ve worked for a long, long time in the wind tunnel, uh, in the CFD simulations, and we’ve come up with this pretty unique shape. We think,  Allen Hall: well, the, the, the shape is unique and if you, if you look at it, there’s actually different heights to the, the triangle, so to speak. To mix the air from the pressure and the [00:02:00] suction side to reduce the, the level of noise coming off the blade  Nicholas Gaudern: e Exactly. So we have, uh, we have an asymmetry to the part. We have these different tooth lengths. We have, uh, a lot of changes in thickness going on across the part. So it may be a little bit difficult to see on the camera, but these are quite sculpted 3D components. They’re not, they’re not flat stock white triangles. No, no. There’s a lot of thickness detail going on here. We’ve paid a lot of attention to the edges. We’ve paid a lot of attention to these gaps between the teeth as well. So all of this is about trying to figure out what is the best way to reduce noise. And something that not a lot of people will, will admit, but it’s true, is that as an industry we don’t really understand the fundamentals of how serrations work.  Allen Hall: It’s a complicated  Nicholas Gaudern: problem. It’s a really complicated thing. Problem, yeah. Yes. So trying to simulate it in CFD is an absolute nightmare. The, the mesh sizes required, the physics models required are really, really difficult. So what we found is that you’re probably better off spending [00:03:00] most of your time and money in the wind tunnel. Yes. So, so we go to DTU, they have this wonderful, uh, air acoustic wind tunnel, the pool of core tunnel. It’s one the best tunnels in the industry for doing this kind of work. It  Allen Hall: is  Nicholas Gaudern: because you can measure acoustics and aerodynamics at the same time. So this allows us to do a lot of very cost effective iteration for this kind of design work. So we know what’s important. You know, we’ve, we’ve studied all the different parameters of serrations lengths, aspect ratios, angles, thicknesses, all this kind of stuff. And it’s about bringing them together into a, into a coherent product. So this is, this is a result of a lot of design of experiments, a lot of iteration, and combining wind tunnel and CFD to kind of get the best of both of those tools. So,  Allen Hall: so what’s the. Noise reduction compared to those standard triangular trailing aerations. Yeah.  Nicholas Gaudern: So there’s lots of different ways of, of thinking about noise reduction, but I think probably the most useful is the O-A-S-P-L. So this is the overall sound pressure level. Right. Is kind of what [00:04:00]typically you’ll be measuring in an IEC test.  Allen Hall: Right.  Nicholas Gaudern: And that’s measured in decibels, but a way to decibels because it’s important that we’re waiting to what the human ear can actually hear. Right. Perceive. Exactly. So that’s the numbers we report. For the field test we’ve recently completed with Silent Edge, we’re seeing up to five decibels of O-A-S-P-L noise reduction.  Allen Hall: Okay. So what’s that mean in terms of what I hear on the ground?  Nicholas Gaudern: So that is an absolutely huge reduction. It’s multiple times of reduction because you know, decibels on a log scale,  Allen Hall: right? Nicholas Gaudern: So five DB is is enormous. It’s  Allen Hall: a lot. Yeah.  Nicholas Gaudern: And what’s really interesting is that if you have a turbine that’s running in a noise mode, just one decibel reduction. Of power, sound, sound, power level might be three or 4% P loss. I mean, that, that’s, that’s huge. Think about that loss. So if you need to reduce noise by five decibels to get within a regulation, imagine how much a EP you have to throw away by basically turning down the [00:05:00] turbine to do that. Allen Hall: That’s right.  Nicholas Gaudern: So that’s really what the, the business case for these kind of products is. It means you can escape noise modes because as soon as you use a noise mode. You are throwing away energy.  Allen Hall: You’re throwing well you’re throwing away profits.  Nicholas Gaudern: Exactly.  Allen Hall: So you’re just losing money to reduce the noise. Now you can operate at peak.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yep.  Allen Hall: Power output without the creating the noise where you have that risk. Right. So, and particularly in a lot of countries now, there are noise regulations. Yes. And they are very well monitored.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yep.  Allen Hall: We’re seeing it more and more where, uh, government agencies are coming out and checking. Yes. ’cause they have a complaint and so you get a complaint. Oh, that’s fine. Or someone can complain. Yeah. You know, you need to be making your numbers.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yep. And, and the industry needs to be good neighbors, you know? It  Allen Hall: certainly does.  Nicholas Gaudern: Uh, we have to make sure that people are, you know, approving and comfortable with having wind turbines in their backyard. Sure. And noise is a big part of that.  Allen Hall: It is.  Nicholas Gaudern: So yeah. Ap sure. That’s really important. Being a good [00:06:00] neighbor also important.  Allen Hall: Right.  Nicholas Gaudern: Meeting the regulations. Obviously you have to meet the regulations. So this product, um, has been through a really long development cycle, and we’re now putting the final touches to the, to the tooling. So this is available now.  Allen Hall: Oh, wow.  Nicholas Gaudern: Okay. Great. Um, and we’re hoping that in the next uh, few months we’ll be getting even more turbines equipped out in the field with, with the technology.  Allen Hall: So, oh, sure. There’s a, you think about the number of turbines that are in service, hundreds of thousands total worldwide. A lot of them have no noise reduction at all.  Nicholas Gaudern: No. No.  Allen Hall: And they have a lot of complaints from the neighbors.  Nicholas Gaudern: Exactly.  Allen Hall: Trying to expand wind into new areas, uh, is hard because the, the experience of the previous Yes. Neighbor  Nicholas Gaudern: Yep.  Allen Hall: Grows into future neighbors. So fixing the turbines you have out in sight today helps you get the next site. I know we don’t always think about that, but that’s exactly how it works. Yeah, of course. Uh, we need to be conscientious of the people of the turbines we have in service right now. So that we can continue to grow wind [00:07:00] globally and more regulations on noise are gonna come unless we start taking care of the problem ourselves. Nicholas Gaudern: Yep. And another really important thing with Serrations is that you have to design them so that they don’t impact the loads on the rest of the turbine.  Allen Hall: Right. And people forget about that.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yes.  Allen Hall: Can you just, can’t just throw up any device up there. And think, well, my blade’s gonna be happy with it. It may not be happy with that device. Nicholas Gaudern: You have to really carefully understand what the existing blade aerodynamic signature is.  Allen Hall: Sure.  Nicholas Gaudern: How is that blade performing? What is the lift distribution across the span? Yeah.  Allen Hall: Right. Yeah.  Nicholas Gaudern: So what we do, and we, we’ve talked about it before we go and laser scan blades. We build CAD models, we build CFD models so we can actually understand how much lift a blade can take and what’s the benefit or the penalty of doing so. So these serrations are designed by default to be load neutral. They won’t increase lift. They won’t reduce lift. That’s what  Allen Hall: it should  Nicholas Gaudern: be. That’s where you should start,  Allen Hall: right?  Nicholas Gaudern: And maybe there’s some scope to do something else [00:08:00] on certain turbines, but you shouldn’t, you shouldn’t guess. You, you need to calculate, you need to simulate, you need to think very carefully about that. So that’s what we do with these, uh, with these serrations, we go through this very careful aerodynamic design process to make sure that they reduce noise and that’s it. They don’t increase loads, they don’t reduce AP by killing lift. And that’s, that’s an important aspect.  Allen Hall: Well, that’s the goal.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yes,  Allen Hall: exactly. I don’t necessarily want to increase power. I don’t wanna put more load in my blade, but people do that. I’ve seen that happen and man, they regret it.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah, regret it. There’s, there’s some pretty wild claims out there as well about observations can and can’t do. And uh, like with lots of things, it’s important to just do the simulations, speak to some experts and, um. Yeah, maybe take the, the less exciting path, you know, sometimes,  Allen Hall: well, no. Yeah. Well, less exciting path where I don’t have a broken blade.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah, exactly.  Allen Hall: Yeah. That’s a lot less exciting. It’s, it’s definitely more profitable. Now, the Dragon Scale Vortex generator has been [00:09:00] around about a year or so.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yep, yep.  Allen Hall: And the thing about these devices, and they’re so unique, interesting to think about because you typically think of a vortex generator as this being this little bit of a fence. Where you are tripping the air and making it fall back down onto the blade.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yep.  Allen Hall: A really, it works.  Nicholas Gaudern: It works.  Allen Hall: But it’s it’s  Nicholas Gaudern: been around a long time.  Allen Hall: Yeah. Yeah. It, it does, it does do this thing. And they, they were, they came outta the aviation business. We use ’em on airplanes to keep air flow over the control surfaces so we can continue to fly even in close to stall conditions. All that makes sense. And airplanes are not a wind turbine.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yes.  Allen Hall: So there’s different things happening there. So although they work great on on aircraft, they’re not necessarily the most efficient thing for a wind turbine where you’re trying to generate power and revenue from the rotation of the blades. Nicholas Gaudern: Exactly.  Allen Hall: So this is a completely different way of thinking about getting the airflow back onto the blade where it produces [00:10:00] revenue.  Nicholas Gaudern: And what’s really nice is to actually see this together with silent edge, because historically, and maybe not even historically. Serrations VGs, they’re triangles. They work, they do a job. But that doesn’t mean you can’t do it in a different way. In a better way.  Allen Hall: Right.  Nicholas Gaudern: And that’s the same principles from applying with Silence Edge and Dragon Scale. We want to work the flow in the most efficient way possible.  Allen Hall: Right. You’re trying to get to an  outcome.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah, exactly.  Allen Hall: Efficiently.  Nicholas Gaudern: We want to, we want to target very specific things on the blade, and that’s where you can see there’s a few different styles of Dragon Scale that we have on the table here. We have some that are two fins. We have some that are three fins. We have different sizes, and this is because they’re tailored to different parts of the blade. So these three Fin Dragon scales, their focus is ultimate lift. We are creating a really powerful vortex through this combination of three air foils, if you imagine, um, the inside of a Turbo fan. You have these cascading air force. [00:11:00] You look at the leading edge slacks on an aircraft. You look at the front wing of a Formula one car. It’s that kind of concept.  Allen Hall: It’s like that,  Nicholas Gaudern: and it’s these air force that are cooperating with each other.  Allen Hall: Right.  Nicholas Gaudern: To end up with a more beneficial result. ‘ Allen Hall: cause an air force by itself does a function, but when you combine airflows together in the right way  Nicholas Gaudern: Exactly. Allen Hall: You can really control airflow efficiently, less losses. More of what you want out the backside. Yeah, exactly. It’s, it’s the backside you’re trying to work on, on a VG or, or dragon scales. You’re trying to create this flow which gets the airflow back onto the blade to create power. We,  Nicholas Gaudern: we want as much attached flow as possible and down exactly down in the roots of a blade. We have to have really thick aerofoils, you know, blades about round. They’re basically cylinders.  Allen Hall: Yeah.  Nicholas Gaudern: And that, that’s essential, right? We have to have the blade take a lot of load into the root aerodynamically. They’re horrible.  Allen Hall: Yeah.  Nicholas Gaudern: So this is where these, uh, these powerful Dragon Scale VGs come into play because what they do is they’re [00:12:00] reenergizing the flow over the aerofoils, and they’re ensuring that that flow remains attached for much, much longer than if those bgs weren’t there. So down in the root, you’ll get significant boosts to the lift that those sections can generate. And what’s more lift? It goes to more torque, it goes to more power, goes to more a EP. So these dragon scale VGs in the root are there to boost, lift, and boost EP out on the tip of the blade. Things are actually a little bit different because it’s way different. You shouldn’t really have stall there to begin with if your blade’s been designed well.  Allen Hall: But if you have leading edge erosion exactly. Or some other things that are happening, you can have real aerodynamic problems.  Nicholas Gaudern: So yeah, as soon as you have erosion, uh, maybe your stall margin is not as big as you thought it was. You’re starting to get some significant losses of lift Yes out towards the tip of the blade. So that’s where these, uh, TwoFin uh, variants come in. So it’s still a dragon scale vg, it’s still the same concept of these cascading error foils. Yeah, but these are [00:13:00] designed for basically ultimate lift to drag ratio. Mm-hmm. So we don’t really want more maximum lift outta the tip. We kind of have enough, but what we do want is to keep stable attached flow and we want to do it for the less, uh, least drag penalty possible. So basically we want to get rid of as much parasitic drag as we can. These two fin dragon scales, we are seeing 25 plus percent improvements in lift to drag ratio. Compared to a standard triangle vg. I mean that’s huge.  Allen Hall: That that is really  Nicholas Gaudern: huge.  Allen Hall: That’s huge, right? Because people have seen these, uh, triangular VGs in a lot of places. And one thing I’m noticing more recently is that those VGs, because they’re so draggy, they tend to flutter and they tend to break in just off. Nicholas Gaudern: Interesting.  Allen Hall: So you’re having this failure mode because this thing is just blocking the air, getting the air to trip.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah.  Allen Hall: It’s not efficient. It does have its downsides ’cause it is. D definitely drag. Just face it, it’s it, is it a draggy [00:14:00] 1940s technology? That’s what it is. Where with the dragon scales, now we’re doing things a lot more efficiently and thinking about how do I get the airflow that the blade designer originally wanted? Nicholas Gaudern: Yes,  Allen Hall: because the blade designer, they’re really intelligent people. They’re, they’re sitting designing blades. But the reality is what you design is on an ideal airflow, and what you have out in service are totally different things. As, as it turns out, the shape of the airflow is not what you think it is because it comes out of the tool and there’s a lot of touching with by humans that are grinding on the leading edges and doing the things that have to be done to manufacture it. So you don’t really have an ideal blade when it comes out of the  Nicholas Gaudern: No. You  Allen Hall: never do factory. No, you never do.  Nicholas Gaudern: And it’s not polished either.  Allen Hall: It’s not polished. Right. So  Nicholas Gaudern: when you go to the wind tunnel, you have a perfect profile. Yes. And it’s polished. And it works basically. It  Allen Hall: works great. It  Nicholas Gaudern: works great.  Allen Hall: The theoretical and the actual match. Yeah. In reality they do. I think a lot of operators are not [00:15:00] connected with that reality of, Hey, that Blade should be producing this amount of revenue for me, and it’s not. And you hear that discussion all the time, particularly in the us. It should be producing this amount of power. I’m doing all the calculations. We are not producing that power. Why? The blade length’s saying, but the power’s not coming out of it. Well take a look at your leading edge, take a look at your yard full of shape and realize you’re going to have to do something like dragon scales to get that E energy. Exactly. Revenue back.  Nicholas Gaudern: You need to do a full aerodynamic health check. Basically you do. And see what are all the possibilities to improve my blade performance. And some of it is down to the fundamental shape of the blade,  Allen Hall: right?  Nicholas Gaudern: But some of it is down to blade condition. Yes. Blade Blade manufacturing quality.  Allen Hall: Yes.  Nicholas Gaudern: Uh, what kind of paint did they put on it? What day of the week was it made? And all these things can be compensated for by VGs and you’ll get more revenue out at the end.  Allen Hall: You say? ’cause what happens? The, the, the scenario which is hard to visualize unless [00:16:00] you’re an A and emesis, is that there comes on the suction side, and it should be, in a ideal sense, rolling all the way to the back edge of the blade and coming off. What happens is though, is that. When you get leading edge erosion is that the air flow actually separates. Yeah.  Nicholas Gaudern: It  Allen Hall: doesn’t  Nicholas Gaudern: always make it, yeah.  Allen Hall: Doesn’t make it to the back edge. Yeah. And so you can see that, especially if, if there’s dirt in the air, you can look on dirty blades, you can see where that separation line is, and a lot of operators have sky specs, images or Zeit view images, and then go back and look at the blades. It takes two minutes to go. I have  Nicholas Gaudern: particularly down in the root, you’ll see it.  Allen Hall: Oh, in the root all the time. You, you  Nicholas Gaudern: see it really clearly that that separation line  Allen Hall: all the time, you really see that separation line. I’m seeing it more and more up towards the tip. Interesting. That’s where the lightning protection, yeah. Systems sit.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah.  Allen Hall: I see a lot of airflow that is not front to back on the suc. Well, you  Nicholas Gaudern: have a lot of three dimensional flow out there.  Allen Hall: You do towards the tip you do. And you realize how much power you’re losing there. And I think operators are just throwing away money.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah, exactly.  Allen Hall: So you could [00:17:00] put dragon skills on it very efficiently, very quickly. Get that revenue back into your system and it’s gonna stay. So even if leading edge erosion happens, the dragon scales are gonna compensate for it. It’s gonna get the airflow back where it should be.  Nicholas Gaudern: Exactly. And the nice thing about this is, you know, we are building on well over a decade of upgrading turbines with aerodynamic components. Oh yes. So this technology stands on the foundations of all of that work. In terms of the materials, the work instructions. Um, the fatigue calculate, you know, everything  Allen Hall: Yes.  Nicholas Gaudern: Is built on thousands of installations that we’ve done. Yes. So, although it’s a new technology aerodynamically, it’s not really new in lots of sensors. Allen Hall: Well, I look at it this way. If you turn on Formula One today and look at what the new generation of cars running around as you look at the, that front. Yes. Uh. Fin. Yeah. What do I call it? Air foil shape in the front. It’s super complicated.  Nicholas Gaudern: The sculpting of the [00:18:00] surfaces is really impressive,  Allen Hall: right? There’s a lot of thought going into those surfaces versus you turn on a Formula One race or go on YouTube and look at a Formula One race from the 1980s. Yeah, it’s basically a piece.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah.  Allen Hall: To provide down downforce. That’s it. The aerodynamics wasn’t really there, so we come a long way and a lot of that technology that happens in Formula One that happens in aviation eventually rolls down into. Yeah. Wind.  Nicholas Gaudern: Exactly  Allen Hall: right. So we, we, although we are not designing Formula One style blaze today, we’re taking that same knowledge and information and we’re applying that back in. Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah. We’re  Allen Hall: secondarily we,  Nicholas Gaudern: which is a right thing to do. We’re taking, taking inspiration from all these different aerodynamic fields and, you know, picking the best  Allen Hall: Yes.  Nicholas Gaudern: From what’s available and just allowing ourselves to be a little bit more creative.  Allen Hall: Yes.  Nicholas Gaudern: And thinking outside the box a bit. There’s so many ways to do this as we’ve been saying. And the import. And the  Allen Hall: data’s there.  Nicholas Gaudern: The data’s there. Exactly.  Allen Hall: The data’s there because you’ve been at the DTU Yep. Uh, wind Tunnel, which also has the acoustic piece to it. Yeah. So you have measured data from a reliable source. [00:19:00] You have field data, and you know, you put all these together, you’re gonna get that improvement back. You’re gonna get your invest back, you’ll be more profitable.  Nicholas Gaudern: So Dragon Scale, focus on the AP. And that a EP will, uh, vary depending on the turbine.  Allen Hall: Sure.  Nicholas Gaudern: But we’ll assess the turbine and, and decide the best configuration, and then say silent edge. That’s the focus on the noise reduction. And we’re seeing up to five decibels OASP on the field. It’s, which  Allen Hall: is crazy.  Nicholas Gaudern: It’s even more That’s really good that we were hoping for, you know?  Allen Hall: Yeah.  Nicholas Gaudern: So we, we know this is gonna be a, a great product.  Allen Hall: It looks very interesting.  Nicholas Gaudern: It does.  Allen Hall: It does it. It looks complicated and you think air airflow is complicated. It’s a compressible fluid. It’s not easy to, to just assume it’s gonna do what you think it is. Yeah. You need to get into the tunnel. You need to replicate, you need to do all that work, which is expensive in time consuming. That’s why you go to someone like Power. Curver knows what they’re doing in the wind tunnel, knows how to measure those things and know when they’re getting nonsense. Out of their computer. I  Nicholas Gaudern: mean, you, you’ll pay thousands and thousands of [00:20:00] Euros dollars a day to run a wind tunnel.  Allen Hall: You will.  Nicholas Gaudern: You’ve gotta Absolutely. You’ve gotta turn up with your plan in hand, that’s for sure.  Allen Hall: Oh, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think there’s a lot of assumptions because it, aerodynamics is hard. You know, you watch these blade spin around, you don’t realize how complicated these devices are. They are complicated. Those air force shapes we are running today have been through a lot of history, a lot of history to get to where we are now. Now we’re just gonna take him into the next generation. This, we’re bringing ’em into the two thousands. In sort of a  Nicholas Gaudern: sense, what I’m hoping to see is, you know, with the OEMs, some OEMs do it already, but it’s important to think about these components when you’re designing new blades as well, you should because then that will allow you a much bigger design space to work in. And  Allen Hall: a lot less customer complaints.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yes.  Allen Hall: Where’s my power?  Nicholas Gaudern: Exactly. You know, these products, particularly the VGs, are really important tools for PowerCurve robustness. And some OEMs have known this for a long, long time.  Allen Hall: Yep.  Nicholas Gaudern: And you’ll see VGs on most of their blades. Mm-hmm. Others not so much. And that’s a design choice. It’s a design philosophy. Um, and I think it may not [00:21:00] be the right one, you know?  Allen Hall: Well, I think the operators are asking to get the most out of their turbines. Yeah. Why shouldn’t they? They should be asking for that.  Nicholas Gaudern: I think for a, for a long time, and it’s not just in wind devices, like these have been considered, you know, band-aids fixes when you’ve, you’ve messed something up. But I feel that’s a really negative way to think about products like this. They’re doing something that the kind of raw air fall shape on its own cannot achieve. Sure. Oh no. Right. You know, you might be able to mold some interesting stuff. Uh, as part of the blade, it’s very difficult to, to recreate the kind of aerodynamic effects that these products, uh, have. Allen Hall: Right.  Nicholas Gaudern: So they shouldn’t be considered bandaids or fixes. No. They should be considered opportunities. And ways that you can maximize performance and unlock areas of the design space that previously weren’t accessible to.  Allen Hall: Sure. Every possible component that deals with fluid air is moving this way.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yes.  Allen Hall: Jet engines, you look at jet engine, how much more is going into those jet engines today in terms of this kind of [00:22:00] technology? Yeah. All the race colors, doesn’t matter what class, where it is, is all looking at this anything to do with aircraft, it’s all over this.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah,  Allen Hall: exactly. Or, or doing this today. It’s just wind that’s behind  Nicholas Gaudern: wind. Wind is  Allen Hall: significantly  Nicholas Gaudern: behind. No,  Allen Hall: it’s not magic. It’s proven technology. It’s  Nicholas Gaudern: just good engineering. Allen Hall: Well, it’s good engineering and if you call PowerCurve, they’re gonna help you under to to, to understand what you have today and what you could have tomorrow.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yes.  Allen Hall: And how this, these devices will improve your revenue stream.  Nicholas Gaudern: Exactly. You know, we will look at your blades, we’ll give you some good advice and maybe that advice will be that. You know, a certain product isn’t right for your blade. Right. That’s fine.  Allen Hall: That’s an answer.  Nicholas Gaudern: That’s an answer.  Allen Hall: Yeah, it is.  Nicholas Gaudern: But let’s, let’s look at the blade. Let’s see what’s possible, and let’s just have a, have a proper conversation about it over some real data, some real  Allen Hall: facts. Right. I think that’s the key, and a lot of operators are afraid to talk about aerodynamics is it’s, it’s a difficult area to, to start the conversation on, right? Yeah. But I think at the end of the day, when I work with PowerCurve, and I’ve worked with you guys for a [00:23:00] number of years, the answers I get back are intelligent and they’re not. Super complicated. This is what you’re gonna see. This is the improvement. And then we can, this is how we’re going to show you can get that improvement. It’s not magic,  Nicholas Gaudern: no  Allen Hall: power crews backing up with data, which I think is the key, right? Because you’re the, you do hear a lot of noise in this industry about magical products that’ll do all these things. Particularly aerodynamic ones. Yes. PowerCurves, the ones really bringing the data.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah. And we have, we have the track record now. We have like we do 17, 1800 turbines. Should be over 2000 very soon with our products on. Yeah. So we have a lot, we have a lot of data to draw on to know that we’re doing a good thing.  Allen Hall: Well, and speaking of that, because one of the questions that always pops up is, well, we have put these new VGs or trailing edges on, are they gonna stay on? How durable are they?  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah. And that’s a, that’s a really important question to ask was it doesn’t matter how fancy aerodynamic product is, if it falls off the blade.  Allen Hall: Right.  Nicholas Gaudern: So, you know, we’ve spent a lot of, uh, time and effort looking at how we should be fixing these products on. [00:24:00] So we use a, uh, a wet adhesive. We specify a plexus adhesive to put our products in place. Really good adhesive. It’s a great adhesive and it means that they are not going anywhere. Basically. It’s a very, uh, forgiving adhesive. Uh, and it’s a very high spec. So we, we don’t use, uh, sided tape. We might have some of our products for some initial tack to help, you know, get the clear, the clear outta the line exactly. But in terms of the bond itself, that is with a, a proper structural adhesive. So one thing that we are really proud of is that we haven’t got any, uh, reported failures of our panels over all the installations we’ve made. And that’s a combination of materials, but also geometry, work, instructions, adhesive. It’s, it’s the full package. So it’s something that, um, yes, say we’re very proud of. And I think it’s, it’s a big part of what we do at PowerCurve, making sure the product is the right shape. Sure. But also making sure it stays on the blade.  Allen Hall: Well, you see it [00:25:00] from OEMs who have all kinds of aerodynamic treatments on there, and they’ll double set a tape to the blade, and then those parts are on the ground. Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah. And double-sided tape. You can get some really nice spec tape. Sure.  Allen Hall: You,  Nicholas Gaudern: yeah. But it’s not  a  Allen Hall: 20 year device.  Nicholas Gaudern: No. And the installation tolerance required on surface prep is really, really high. So it’s possible. It’s just harder. I think it’s riskier,  Allen Hall: it’s risky.  Nicholas Gaudern: So, you know, I think for us, the adhesive is, is the way to go. And, and it’s been proven out by the, by the track record.  Allen Hall: And some of the things we’ve seen over in Australia is when trailing ulcerations have come off, it’s been a safety concern. So now you got  Nicholas Gaudern: absolutely  Allen Hall: government officials involved in safety because parts are coming up. Turbine.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah.  Allen Hall: You  Nicholas Gaudern: can’t have these components flying, flying through the air. That’s, that’s not safe.  Allen Hall: That’s because PowerCurve has done the homework.  Nicholas Gaudern: Yes.  Allen Hall: And has the track record. That’s why you wanna choose PowerCurve. So how do people get a hold of PowerCurve? How do they get a hold of you, Nicholas, to start the process?  Nicholas Gaudern: So, um, you’re welcome to reach out to us in lots of different ways. We’re on LinkedIn. Uh, we have our website, [00:26:00] PowerCurve, dk, um, so yeah, LinkedIn websites. There’ll probably some links on this podcast as well to get in touch. But, um, yeah, whatever way works best for you.  Allen Hall: Yeah, it’s gonna be a busy season. So if you’re interested in doing anything with PowerCurve this year, you need to get on the website, get ahold of Nicholas. And get started, uh, because now’s the time to maximize your revenue.  Nicholas Gaudern: Thanks a lot and great to talk to you,  Allen Hall: Nicholas. Thanks so much for being back on the podcast.

UK Dentists: Collect your verifiable CPD for this episode here >>> https://courses.dentistswhoinvest.com/smart-money-members-club———————————————————————Your dental limited company can be brilliant for control and planning, but it can also leave you staring at a growing bank balance you cannot access without a hefty tax hit. We sit down with specialist dental accountant David Hossein to lay out the real-world options for extracting wealth tax efficiently, from the basics (salary, dividends, expenses) to the lesser-known moves that can make a meaningful difference over time. We get specific on what HMRC typically accepts, what needs evidence, and what tends to cause trouble. That includes the £100,000 income cliff edge, how employer pension contributions can reduce corporation tax, and the practical checklist of allowable expenses many UK dentists miss. We also dig into the grey areas listeners always ask about: course travel, business meetings, employing family members, directors' loans, trivial benefits, and why vouchers are not treated as “non-cash” in the way people assume. If you are investing through companies or thinking about buying or selling a practice, this matters even more. We explain why property often sits in an SPV, how intercompany loans work, and the “trading company vs investment company” trap that can put Business Asset Disposal Relief (BADR) at risk. For principals, we outline planning ideas around share sales, holding companies, substantial shareholding exemption, and even how surplus cash might be treated on a sale when contracts are drafted correctly. If you find this useful, subscribe, share it with a colleague, and leave us a review so more dentists can find smarter, calmer ways to handle tax and build long-term wealth.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

Baseball is back in swing! Jose Fernandez is the seventh player in MLB history to hit two home runs in his debut. Umpires are having a rough start to the season, CB Bucknor misses a call at first and Mark Wegner loses track of the count. Shohei Ohtani threw six scoreless innings during his first start of the season. Plus, the ABS is NOT working how everyone thought. Coaches are challenging the wrong calls, causing them to not be able to challenge calls that are clearly wrong.

Industrial power conversion is somewhat of an obscure topic, but nonetheless, super-important for people designing any type of platform or equipment for the industrial space. At the top of that list, and the application that's responsible for changing our designs seemingly overnight, is the data center. Efficiently powering these data centers is key because they consume lots of power, and they are popping up in more places than originally expected. To help understand how to deal with these key issues, I spoke to Steve Tateosian, Infineon Technologies' Senior VP for its IoT, Compute and Wireless Business Unit, on this week's Embedded Executives podcast.

Opening Bible Verse: 1 Corinthians 15:5 This year we are doing my group coaching course together via this podcast! It's free and it only gets better as the year progresses.  In January we began with God at the center of our day and our home. We worked to build the habit of a morning prayer routine. I highly recommend the rosary. It's only about 20 minutes and you'll meditate on the whole life of Jesus. February is the month of decluttering. Saturday episodes have been added to focus on decluttering in the kitchen. Each month will have a different focus area and the Saturday episodes will help you focus on one small section of that room.  If you're new here, welcome and give this first episode of 2026 a listen to hear where to begin: 316. Your 2026 Life Overhaul Plan: Faith, Clutter, Debt, Diet and More!  If you've never prayed a rosary or you want to see how you can incorporate it into active decluttering, here is the first episode of my rosary declutter series from last summer. 288. Summer Declutter Series Week Just getting started on your decluttering journey? Give this episode a listen before you begin: 322. Guidelines to Decluttering ***Are you so overwhelmed with clutter that you find yourself unable to make any decisions?

The Garden Gun, Pea Shooter, Pop-Gun, Plinker, the Tick-Licker, yeah, or my personal favorite… the ol' TooToo.The .22 doesn't look impressive. It doesn't flex for you on Instagram. It won't punch your shoulder, rattle your teeth, or cause your ears to ring when it's fired from a gun. What it will do however, is put protein in your belly, it will feed you. Quietly. Efficiently. Consistently.As Preppers, we all know that every round of ammo you carry has its place in your kit. And that holds true for the humble 22LR.It's tiny, unimpressive, and well, sort of cute. But it's also underestimated and often overlooked as an essential tool when the grid goes down.The 22 rifle is a lightweight tool that's easy to transport, in some cases can hold upwards of 100 rounds of ammo, it's great for training new shooters without fear, and reliable enough to keep working long after the noise of the world fades.Tonight, we're talking about the rifle that most people underestimate… and why that mistake could cost them when the grid goes down for good.TOPS Bunker Podcast YouTube ChannelSpeakPipe/TOPSTOPSBunker.comPlease Visit Our Affiliate Links to Find Great Preparedness Products:The Budget 22LR Build PaperbackBuild a Custom 10/22 Step By Step PaperbackSupport the show

Sashank Varma | Interactive Computing / Psychology | Georgia Institute of Technology "The Travelling Salesperson Problem: How Humans 'Efficiently' Solve a Problem Which is 'Hard' for Computers" “The Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP) is an important problem in mathematics and computer science. A TSP instance is a set of points. To solve it is to produce a ‘tour' that starts at one point and returns to it after visiting all other points exactly once, and to solve it optimally is to produce a tour of minimum length. As far as we know, computers cannot solve this problem optimally. It is therefore surprising that, for small instances, people produce tours that are near-optimal (i.e., within 10% of the minimal length), and they do so in time linear in the number of points. To accomplish this remarkable feat, we propose that they adopt a divide-and-conquer strategy: first visually clustering the points, then solving each cluster as a smaller TSP instance, and finally joining together these solutions to solve the overall problem. We provide evidence for this proposal in three behavioral experiments and one computational experiment. These findings establish the psychological viability of the divide-and-conquer strategy for solving the TSP, and they set the stage for future studies of how people tame the complexity of computationally ‘hard' problems.” If you would like to become an AFFILIATE of the Center, please let us know.Subscribe to our YouTube channel to get updates on our latest videos.Follow along with us on Instagram | Facebook NOTE: The views and opinions expressed by the speaker do not necessarily reflect those held by the Center for Mind, Brain, and Culture or Emory University.

Questions? Thoughts? Send a Text to The Optometry Money Podcast! We'll answer your question on the show.In this episode, we break down tax-efficient investing for ODs, showing you how to pair the right investments with the right accounts to maximize your after-tax wealth over your career.What You'll LearnTaxes can be the difference between two optometrists with identical investment returns ending up with vastly different retirement wealth. This episode breaks down how to invest tax-efficiently by pairing the right investments with the right accounts. You'll learn which investments create tax-inefficient income (bonds, REITs) versus more favorable income (stock index funds), and the strategy for placing them across your taxable accounts, pre-tax retirement accounts, Roth accounts, and HSAs. The key is treating all your accounts toward the same goal as one coordinated household portfolio instead of managing each separately. Key TakeawayDon't let the tax tail wag the dog. Start with good, prudent, evidence-based investments - then optimize their placement to minimize taxes along the way. The goal isn't to avoid all taxes; it's to maximize your after-tax wealth over your lifetime.Episode Chapters[00:00] Introduction: Why tax-smart investing matters for ODs[03:00] Why taxes matter: The real drag on your investment returns[05:00] Tax Layer 1: Understanding investment account types (taxable, pre-tax, Roth, HSA)[06:00] How different types of investment income get taxed[10:00] Tax Layer 2: Tax characteristics of stocks, bonds, and REITs[12:00] How fund management impacts your tax bill[16:00] Asset location strategy: Putting it all together[20:00] Common constraints and considerations[22:00] Mistakes to avoid when managing multiple accounts[24:00] Conclusions: Focus on good investing while managing taxesResources MentionedFree Download: Get Your OD's Guide to Tax-Smart InvestingInventory your accountsIdentify tax-inefficient holdingsEvaluate if investments are in the right placesReady for a Second Opinion?Want help reviewing your current setup?

Episode InfoJeff Radke is CEO and Co-Founder of Accelerant, a technology-fueled insurance platform that empowers MGUs to more effectively and confidently serve small and medium enterprises. He has spent his career working across all areas of the insurance value chain, from underwriting to reinsurance in global markets. Prior to Accelerant, Jeff spent a decade at Argo Group International Holdings, but he became frustrated with thelegacy system's antiquated technology and emphasis on maintaining their position in the value chain over doing right by the customer. This inspired him to co-found Accelerant to enable data-driven innovation and collaboration that puts customers first. Accelerant rebuilds the way that underwriters share and exchange risk to improve outcomes for everyone, with a focus on the SMBs that power our global economy and their niche insurance needs. Jeff was previously a guest on the show, and you can catch that episode here. Episode Overview: Accelerant's IPO Journey: Successful Public Offering: Accelerant completed its Initial Public Offering (IPO) in July 2025. Timing Was Right: Radke believes the IPO occurred at the opportune moment, as the business model had become clearly defined and demonstrable to investors. He suggests it couldn't have happened much sooner. Market Conditions: The market timing for the IPO was favorable. Long-Term Vision: The IPO supports a long-term strategy, with the company prioritizing a 5-10-15 year horizon rather than short-term quarterly results. This contrasts with some other tech IPOs that focus on immediate performance. Investor Communication: Transparency with investors about expectations is crucial, and the company runs the business for the benefit of its customers and platform participants. Learning Experience: The post-IPO period, including initial market reactions and earnings announcements, served as a valuable, albeit challenging, reminder to focus on running the business exceptionally well and managing investor expectations. Accelerant's Mission & Problem Solved: Addresses a gap in the market for specialized underwriting talent moving to MGAs without adequate support. Recognizes the shift of risk retention to larger insurance companies, leaving a need for capacity. The Accelerant Platform: Aims to be the "rails" for specialty insurance. Focuses on: Smooth, transparent data flow. Efficiently connecting MGAs to risk capital. Leveraging technology and AI for data analytics and portfolio management. Growth & Key Initiatives: Serves 265 MGA members and partners with 17 insurance companies and 90+ capital providers. Mission: An Accelerant-owned entity providing a safety net and support for underwriters transitioning to MGAs. Risk Exchange: Facilitates capital matching for underwriters, with a focus on long-term network effects and data growth. The Evolving MGA Landscape: MGAs are growing significantly faster than the broader industry. Technology is enabling specialization and a "handoff" model across the value chain. This disaggregation is a natural progression, mirroring trends in other industries. Specialized coverage is increasingly in demand due to the complexity of modern businesses. Addressing Industry Inefficiencies: Identifies high expenses in areas like claims, underwriting, and actuarial functions as a key challenge. Advocates for mutualizing these expenses through centralized, technology-driven platforms like the Risk Exchange. Contrasts this with the traditional model where many companies perform the same functions sub-optimally. Differentiating Accelerant: Focuses on long-term viability and underwriting expertise, not just hype. Prioritizes serving members and capital partners with a service-minded approach. Offers a more efficient and effective alternative to traditional and some other insurtech models.

Ever have that frustrating feeling where the technique you JUST drilled disappears the second you start sparring?It's one of the biggest challenges in Muay Thai. We're all taught to train hard, but we rarely talk about how to train smart.The truth is, elite performance is just as much a psychological skill as it is a physical one. If your skills aren't transferring from pads to sparring, it's not because you aren't training hard enough. It's because you might be training in a way that your brain can't process and retain.In this episode, let's get into the science of learning and skill acquisition. We explore how your brain learns complex movements and provide practical tools to make your training more efficient, effective, and permanent.What You'll Learn in This Episode:How to avoid "Cognitive Overload" so you can actually absorb what your coach is teaching.The #1 Practice MistakeSkill Acquisition vs. Skill TestingThe Science Behind Writing & Record KeepingMental Toughness ToolsThe Undeniable Foundation to EverythingRESOURCES & LINKS:The 2026 Muay Thai Training Journal: Get the guided system I use to track my training, reflect on lessons, and build my "honest record."

“The world's now flipped to inference — and it's limited by power. With the same energy, we can deliver four times the output of a Blackwell,” says SambaNova CEO Rodrigo Liang. Liang joins Bloomberg Intelligence's Kunjan Sobhani in this episode of the Tech Disruptors podcast to explain how SambaNova's air-cooled, 10-kilowatt racks and “data-center-in-90-days” model are helping enterprises and governments scale up AI faster — and greener. The discussion covers the rise of sovereign-AI deployments in the UK, Europe and Australia, the economics of hybrid data centers and why energy efficiency — not just compute power — might define the next phase of AI infrastructure.

Strong communicators make strong leaders. In this episode Lone Rock Leadership co founder Russ Hill shares three tips for more efficiently communicating in meetings and in one-on-one chats.Meetings shouldn't feel like a maze. We walk you through a simple set of moves that transform wandering discussions into sharp decisions: take a clear, movable position, ask direct questions that reveal where people really stand, and read the story their behavior tells beyond their words. These techniques are built from years of coaching senior executives and observing what actually accelerates results inside complex organizations.We start by reframing the opening minutes of any meeting. Instead of circling the topic, set a pace by offering a concise position that others can react to. Then prime the room: ask for perspectives, pause to show you're listening, fill a few seconds while people gather their thoughts, and invite someone to start. When the comments come, validate fast and keep the momentum with Who's next? This small change expands participation, reduces awkwardness, and prevents the facilitator monologue that quietly shuts a room down.From there, we show how direct questions cut weeks of guesswork. Whether you're pricing a keynote, aligning on a product timeline, or negotiating priorities across functions, precision prompts like What range do you need us to be in? and What do you not like about this plan? reveal constraints early and save endless back-and-forth. Finally, we confront a hard truth: most people share only 60 to 75 percent of what they think. To access the rest, ask What else am I missing? and pay close attention to consistent behavior—follow-through, responsiveness, and initiative—as the real signal of commitment.If you're ready to lead faster and communicate with less friction, this playbook will help you run better meetings, make cleaner decisions, and raise your value as a leader. If it helps, share it with a teammate, subscribe for more practical tools, and leave a quick review so others can find the show.

Ever wondered why some students struggle despite hours of studying while others seem to master information efficiently? Cognitive psychologist Dr. Daniel Willingham, author of the book Outsmart Your Brain: Why Learning is Hard and How You Can Make It Easy joined us to discuss the fascinating science behind this phenomenon, explaining that most college students succeed despite their study strategies, not because of them. Dr. Willingham explained why we're naturally drawn to inefficient learning methods that feel productive but yield disappointing results. He compares these approaches to "doing push-ups on your knees" – they seem easier and faster, but they don't build the mental strength needed for deep learning. Parents will find particular value in Dr. Willingham's three-part framework for supporting student success: set high expectations, express confidence they can be met, and provide support in meeting them. Whether your student is thriving or struggling, these evidence-based approaches can transform their college experience by making learning more efficient and effective.Thank you for listening!
