The inventor of the Super Soaker, Dr. Lonnie Johnson, joins Matt to talk about his most ambitious project yet: the JTEC, a heat engine with no moving parts that converts low-grade waste heat straight into electricity. They get into how it actually works, why Johnson thinks it could run far more efficiently than what we use today, and the long road from a 2003 idea to the first commercial unit. Plus how a billion-dollar water gun quietly funded a quarter-century of clean-energy research.Chapters:00:00: Intro05:06: Dr. Lonnie Johnson Interview32:36: Previous Episode FeedbackWatch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhbPajWdgUkSupport the show directly: https://stilltbd.fm/join/Audio version of the podcast: https://stilltbd.fmYouTube version of the podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@stilltbdYouTube membership: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4-aWB84Bupf5hxGqrwYqLA/joinGet in touch: https://stilltbd.fm/contact/Follow us on:Mastodon - https://mastodon.social/@mattferrellBluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/mattferrell.bsky.socialUndecided with Matt Ferrell: https://www.youtube.com/@undecidedtechnology Hosted on Acast.

Matt Lyman is the Vice President of Marketing at Flosum, an enterprise Salesforce-native platform for DevOps, data protection, backup, security, and governance. With nearly 20 years of experience across demand generation, ABM, marketing operations, and B2B growth, he leads marketing strategy for technical audiences and helps translate complex products into clear, human-centered messaging. Matt previously held marketing leadership roles at Chef Software and LeanData and brings a people-first perspective shaped by his background in theater and community building. In this episode… Marketing to technical audiences exposes weak assumptions quickly. These buyers rarely respond to vague promises or generic campaigns. So how can marketers create marketing systems that earn trust, generate demand, and keep improving? Matt Lyman, a B2B marketing leader with expertise in demand generation, technical audiences, paid media, and community-led growth, explains that the answer starts with understanding the human behind every technical buying decision. Instead of treating messaging as a static brand exercise, teams should treat it like a hypothesis: test it, listen to feedback, and adjust based on what the market reveals. Matt emphasizes the importance of tailoring messages to executives and practitioners, choosing events based on audience fit, watching leading indicators before pipeline slips, and using AI to accelerate work without replacing human strategy. The result is a more focused marketing engine built around precision, context, and continuous learning. In this episode of the Revenue Engine Podcast, Alex Gluz talks with Matt Lyman, Vice President of Marketing at Flosum, about building effective marketing engines for technical audiences. Matt shares how technical buyers shape messaging, why event and paid media strategy require focus, and what leading indicators reveal about pipeline health. He also touches on AI, community building, and mentorship.

It's been a long, hard road for Western Sydney International Airport, but after decades of the can being kicked down that road, the wait is finally almost over: Sydney's newest gateway will open its doors to freight next month, and to passengers in October. With Jetstar given the honours of the inaugural passenger flight, and Air New Zealand, Singapore Airlines and QantasLink to follow over coming months, other pieces of the puzzle are also falling into place as road networks open and the new metro lays its final tracks. On this week's Australian Aviation Podcast, Jake and David arm doors and cross-check as Western Sydney Airport finally begins taxiing out and prepares for its take-off roll. Plus, as the Iran conflict (hopefully) nears its end, has the impact of fuel price shocks on airfares been as simple as we'd all thought?

Sometime in the 800s AD, a Chinese alchemist wrote the first description of what he called "huo yao" or "fire medicine." This was the birth of a technology that some described as inhuman, devilish, satanic, like it was too wicked to be made by human hands - but no one could afford to ignore it. Because if they didn't invent it, someone else would. This is the global story of gunpowder and the gun, from its Chinese origins to the industrial revolution.Sources: coming soonMusic:Iron And Granite by Punch Deck | https://soundcloud.com/punch-deckRoyalty Free Music by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_USRing Of Iron by WombatNoisesAudio | https://soundcloud.com/user-734462061Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US"Gentlemen at War" by PlayAgain via Pond5.comLock And Load by Hayden Folker | https://soundcloud.com/hayden-folkerRoyalty Free Music by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

Writers want to create stories with unforgettable endings, powerful dialogue, and characters readers genuinely care about. But the problem is that we often spend most of our energy on the external plot: solving the murder, winning the trial, defeating the villain, or uncovering the truth. Those events create pressure, but they are not necessarily what makes the audience feel satisfied when the story ends. In this episode, Jeff Elkins (The Dialogue Doctor) and members of the Dialogue Doctor Community break down the character structure of A Few Good Men to reveal why the movie works. You'll learn how a story's "Vehicle characters" carry the reader's emotional experience, how a character's wound creates immediate hopes and fears, and why the real ending depends on whether the lead character becomes the person the audience hoped they could be. Jeff also examines how supporting characters can raise the pressure by ending tragically, how "Engines" and "Anchors" push a character toward their best or worst self, and why Joanne's storyline feels less satisfying than the arcs around her. Finally, the episode breaks down the pacing behind the iconic "You can't handle the truth" scene, showing how rapid-fire dialogue, strategic silence, emotional pauses, and a prolonged hero moment transform a courtroom exchange into an unforgettable climax. Watch this episode if you want to build stronger character arcs, create a cast that actively shapes your protagonist, write more emotionally satisfying endings, or understand why some famous scenes stay with audiences for decades.

In January 1860 the New York Times gave its blessing to a new machine: the sewing machine. These "iron needle-women", it wrote, were the only invention that could be claimed “chiefly for women's benefit”. Sewing was women's work in the nineteenth century, rich or poor, and a machine could now do it in a fraction of the time. So did it set women free?Philipp Ager and Davide Coluccia have traced the adoption of the sewing machine in Massachusetts between 1850 and 1900, using census records and digitised business directories to work out who was exposed to it, in the factory and in the home. For poorer women the machine meant work, in garment factories and in boot and shoe production; they married later, had fewer children, and many never married at all. For wealthier women, who had few acceptable jobs open to them, the hours it saved went into earlier marriage and earlier motherhood. Philipp tells Tim Phillips the story of a machine that had very different impacts in different social classes.The research behind this episode:Ager, Philipp, and Davide Coluccia. 2026.

The citation above is formatted and ready for a reading list or VLE.About the guestsPhilipp Ager is professor of economics at the University of Mannheim, a Research Fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research, and an editorial board member at Explorations in Economic History. His research spans the economic history of the United States, technological change, and the long-run effects of crises and disasters; his work on the Great Fire of London of 1666 featured in an earlier episode of VoxTalks Economics.Research and sources cited in this episodeThe Song of the Shirt. Thomas Hood's poem about a destitute seamstress was first published anonymously in Punch in December 1843. Hood based it on the case of Mrs Biddell, a London widow prosecuted after pawning clothes she had been given to sew. Godey's Lady's Book. The most widely read women's magazine in the US at the time crowned the sewing machine "the queen of inventions" in 1860, having calculated that a man's shirt took 20,620 stitches and 14 hours to sew by hand, against an hour and a quarter by machine. Singer and the Sewing Machine: A Capitalist Romance. Ruth Brandon's 1977 biography of Isaac Singer (Google Books) is the source for both Singer quotations read in this episode. .How the Other Half Lives. Jacob Riis, a Danish-born police reporter in New York, published his account of tenement and sweatshop life in 1890 (free at Project Gutenberg). The shirtmaker's testimony read in this episode was given to the State Board of Arbitration during the shirtmakers' strike and reported by Riis in his chapter on the working girls of New York.The household appliance revolution. Philipp contrasts the sewing machine with the washing machines and vacuum cleaners that arrived two generations later, which economists have credited with freeing women to join the workforce; "Engines of Liberation" by Jeremy Greenwood, Ananth Seshadri and Mehmet Yorukoglu, Review of Economic Studies, 2005, covers this topic. The sewing machine saved time in the same way, but in the 1860s far fewer acceptable jobs awaited the women whose time it saved.More VoxTalks Economics episodesThe economic effect of the Great Fire of London.

Policy Seminar | IFPRI Policy Seminar Engines of Growth in Fragile Contexts: Launching the IFPRI–UNU-WIDER research partnership Organized by IFPRI and United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER) June 10, 2026 Fragile and conflict-affected settings account for a growing share of global poverty. Roughly 2 billion people live in these areas, accounting for 25% of the world's population but 72% of the world's extreme poor. At the national level, many fragile economies struggle to sustain growth, create jobs, and recover from repeated shocks. Yet even amid conflict, climate stress, and political instability, some communities continue to adapt, work, trade, and invest. For these “islands of resilience,” local livelihoods, skills, trust, and collective action support local economic activity that connects to broader growth trajectories. Understanding these dynamics can help identify how strategic support can strengthen resilience, recovery, and livelihoods in at-risk economies. Join us for this event marking the launch of the IFPRI–UNU-WIDER research partnership, which will work with local partners to generate evidence on the engines of growth that sustain economic activity amid fragility. This seminar will bring together researchers, donors, policy stakeholders, and implementation partners to discuss why some local economies remain resilient under stress, what evidence is needed to guide investment and programming, and how policy can support locally grounded pathways to economic recovery. This event was supported by the CGIAR Food Frontiers and Security Program. We gratefully acknowledge the financial support provided by CGIAR funders through the CGIAR Trust Fund.
