If we’re all in the people business, then every leader needs to ask one question: What tools are in your toolbox? On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black unpacks the science and structure behind human behavior, motivation, and transformation. After nearly 34 years in the human potential field, he makes it clear: Nobody is broken. We are programmed. People run patterns—of thought, emotion, belief, and identity. And leaders who understand those patterns don’t just manage behavior… they transform it. This episode weaves together powerful frameworks including: Hebb’s Law – Neurons that fire together wire together Social Learning Theory – People model what they see Mimetic Theory – We imitate what we desire Attachment Theory – Secure relationships shape performance NLP patterning – Change the “how,” and the outcome changes You’ll also explore the deeper layers of transformation—Environment, Behavior, Capabilities, Beliefs, Identity, and Purpose—and why identity is the ultimate leadership superpower. If a pattern can be seen, it can be changed. If it can be changed, it can be repeated. If it can be repeated, it becomes a new reality. This episode equips leaders with practical insight to move, influence, and grow people from the inside out. Inspiration. Education. Application. When you live your life like it matters… it does.

In this episode, I talk about why transforming your life starts with who and what you allow around you. Toxicity doesn't just come from obvious negativity — it shows up when we cling to comfort, tolerate misalignment, or listen to fear-based advice. I share why surrounding yourself with values-aligned people, diverse thinkers, and strong mentors accelerates growth and protects your vision. When you set boundaries, prioritize rest, and design environments that support your purpose, you stop leaking energy and start compounding it. This isn't a one-time decision — it's a daily practice of choosing growth over interference and committing to the consistent pursuit of your potential.

Every day, we're surrounded by energy givers and energy drainers—but how do you actually identify which is which?In this episode, Jadyn Hailey breaks down how to recognize the habits, people, and routines that fuel you, as well as the ones quietly draining your mental, emotional, and physical energy. You'll learn how to remove the biggest energy drainers from your life and intentionally add more energy‑boosting practices into your daily routine.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

With help from Congress, the Trump Administration stripped some $1.5 billion in federal funds previously promised to tribes. A lot of that was in the form of contracts for clean energy manufacturing and development — new money doled out three years earlier as part of President Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction Act. A new analysis by the Brookings Institution identifies three funding and policy changes, including reductions in SNAP and Medicaid, that negatively affect Native Americans. The research firm says the actions continue a pattern of disinvestment and falls short of the federal government's binding responsibility to Indian Country. GUESTS Robert Maxim (Mashpee Wampanoag), fellow at The Brookings Institution Chéri Smith (Mi’kmaq descendant), president and CEO of the Alliance for Tribal Clean Energy Timothy Nuvangyaoma (Hopi), vice president of tribal engagement for the Alliance for Tribal Clean Energy and former chairman of the Hopi Tribe Dr. Kyle Whyte (Citizen Potawatomi Nation), professor at the School for Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan

Depuis des siècles, Stonehenge fascine autant qu'il intrigue. Mais parmi toutes ses énigmes, l'une est particulièrement tenace : l'origine des “pierres bleues”, ces blocs de plusieurs tonnes qui ne proviennent pas du tout de la région où le monument est érigé. Pendant longtemps, leur présence a semblé presque inexplicable.Ces pierres bleues — une quarantaine à l'origine — sont des roches volcaniques et métamorphiques, différentes des grands blocs de grès visibles aujourd'hui. Dès le XXᵉ siècle, les géologues établissent qu'elles proviennent du pays de Galles, à plus de 200 kilomètres de Stonehenge. Une distance colossale pour des sociétés néolithiques ne disposant ni de roue, ni de métal, ni d'animaux de trait.Comment ces pierres ont-elles été transportées ? Deux hypothèses se sont longtemps affrontées. La première, spectaculaire, évoquait un transport humain volontaire, par radeaux, traîneaux et rouleaux de bois, sur des générations entières. La seconde proposait une origine naturelle : les pierres auraient été déplacées par les glaciers lors des dernières glaciations, puis réutilisées sur place par les bâtisseurs.C'est précisément ce débat qu'une étude récente est venue raviver — et peut-être trancher. Publiée dans la revue Communications Earth & Environment, cette recherche est menée par deux scientifiques de l'Université Curtin, en Australie.Leur travail repose sur une analyse fine de la géologie et de la dynamique glaciaire britannique. Leur conclusion est claire : aucun glacier connu n'aurait pu transporter ces pierres jusqu'à la plaine de Salisbury. Les modèles climatiques et géomorphologiques montrent que les glaces se sont arrêtées bien plus à l'ouest. En revanche, elles auraient pu déplacer certaines pierres jusqu'au sud-ouest du pays de Galles, où elles auraient ensuite été récupérées.Autrement dit, les pierres bleues n'ont pas voyagé seules jusqu'à Stonehenge. Elles ont été extraites, choisies et transportées intentionnellement par des humains sur des centaines de kilomètres. Cette conclusion renforce l'idée que Stonehenge n'est pas seulement un exploit architectural, mais aussi un projet social et symbolique majeur, mobilisant des communautés entières.Pourquoi faire un tel effort ? De plus en plus d'archéologues pensent que les pierres bleues avaient une valeur rituelle ou identitaire particulière. Leur provenance lointaine aurait renforcé leur prestige, leur pouvoir symbolique, voire spirituel. Stonehenge ne serait donc pas seulement un observatoire ou un calendrier, mais un lieu de mémoire et de rassemblement, reliant différentes régions de la Grande-Bretagne néolithique.Ce que cette étude récente change profondément, c'est notre regard sur ces sociétés anciennes. Loin d'être primitives, elles étaient capables de planification à long terme, de coopération à grande échelle et de choix culturels sophistiqués. Le mystère des pierres bleues n'est peut-être pas totalement résolu… mais il révèle déjà une chose essentielle : Stonehenge est l'œuvre d'une ambition humaine bien plus grande qu'on ne l'imaginait.

In recognition of the urgency of the climate crisis, groups of young people around the country are taking their concerns to court. In places like Montana and Hawaiʻi, they're winning lawsuits and forcing states to address greenhouse gas emissions and more. In late August, fifteen youth in Wisconsin filed a lawsuit against the Wisconsin Public Service Commission and the state legislature. To talk about their lawsuit and others like it, host Douglas Haynes is joined by two lawyers helping the youth bring their case to court, Tony Wilkin Gibart of Midwest Environmental Advocates and Joanna Zeigler of Our Children's Trust.  The youth plaintiffs are claiming their constitutional right to live in a world with a stable climate system and that climate change is threatening their rights to life, liberty, and happiness. They've been successful in Montana where the state constitution provides a right to health and safety. And in Hawaiʻi, the state has committed to decarbonizing transportation by 2045. In Wisconsin, the youth plaintiffs are claiming that the state is both supporting and fueling the climate crisis by approving fossil fuel power plants and preventing renewable energy projects. They say these actions by the state are infringing on their constitutional rights and the state is failing to preserve and protect the right to use and enjoy the waters of the state.  Gibart tells the story of some of these plaintiffs, like Kaarina Dunn who experienced the major floods in the Driftless region a few years ago and Lucy Wright who grew up cross country skiing, but has seen the seasons cut short. Zeigler says that youth have a strong, intuitive moral compass and since they're the ones who will be disproportionately impacted by climate change, it's important to hear their voices.  Tony Wilkin Gibart has led Midwest Environmental Advocates since 2019, guiding the organization's legal, policy, and community-focused work to protect Wisconsin's natural resources and strengthen environmental rights. He is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin Law School and one of the attorneys representing the young plaintiffs in Dunn v WI PSC. Joanna Zeigler joined Our Children's Trust as a staff attorney in 2022. She primarily works on state cases filed by Our Children's Trust, including Sagoonick v. State of Alaska II and Dunn v. Wisconsin Public Service Commission and is working to develop new cases in other states. Joanna is also working with the State of Hawaiʻi to implement the historic settlement agreement reached in Navahine v. Hawaiʻi Dept. of Transportation. Prior to joining Our Children's Trust, Joanna worked at a Honolulu law firm as a litigation associate for over five years and she earned her JD with a certificate in environmental law from the William S. Richardson School of Law at the University of Hawaiʻi.

Megan, Stuart, and Natty talk Great Lakes ice coverage, the importance of weather conditions, and simple ice math with Eric Anderson of the Colorado School of Mines. 

Glaciers are vital to Earth's water supplies, yet they are being pushed to the brink of collapse. Half of the world's glaciers could disappear by the end of the century. A French mountain climber is putting her experience to use by helping scientists collect ice samples from major glaciers around the world. Living and dormant species found within them could provide vital clues in the fight against global warming. FRANCE 24's Juliette Alfano, Valérie Dekimpe and Alexandra Renard report.

EVEN MORE about this episode!What if chronic illness, trauma, and burnout are your body's way of communicating—not failing?Join Julie Ryan and holistic physician Christian Gonzalez (Dr. G) as they explore nervous system regulation, trauma stored in the body, emotional roots of disease, and mind-body healing beyond conventional medicine. Inspired by the loss of his mother to cancer during his first year of medical school, Dr. G shares how his journey led him beyond conventional medicine to uncover the deeper drivers of chronic illness—emotional dysregulation, nervous system imbalance, trauma, and environmental toxins.This episode dives deep into the body's hidden language, with moving real-life stories that reveal how unresolved emotions are stored in the fascia and how releasing them can unlock profound healing. From an infertility case that resolved after a single trauma-release session to the heartbreaking intersection of mold exposure, stress, and cancer, Julie and Dr. G explore why shame may be the “second-to-last boss” in healing—and how ancient Chinese medicine aligns with modern clinical insight.You'll also walk away with grounded, practical tools for daily life, including Dr. G's personal rituals for nervous system regulation, myofascial release, grounding, and energetic protection. Together, they explore curiosity as a gateway from fear to empowerment, why “meditating into the body” matters, and how aligning with circadian rhythms can restore balance. The conversation closes with a soul-stirring reflection on why we incarnate at all—inviting you to step into your healing journey with awareness, courage, and joy.Guest Biography:Dr. Christian Gonzalez, widely known as Dr. G, is a holistic physician specializing in integrative healing, nervous system regulation, and the emotional and spiritual roots of chronic illness. Bridging modern science with ancient wisdom, his work focuses on trauma-informed care, oncology support, and mind-body healing, grounded in the belief that the body is not broken—it's communicating. Through his signature Emotional Liberation Method (ELM), Dr. G helps individuals release stored trauma, restore nervous system balance, reconnect with their intuition, and access the body's innate intelligence for deep, lasting transformation, empowering people to become active participants in their own healing journey.Episode Chapters:(0:02:00) - The Myth of Giving Away Your Power(0:04:00) - Miracles: The Infertility Story(0:09:00) - The Emotional Component Behind Every Illness(0:11:00) - Why Healthy People Get Cancer(0:14:00) - The Whiteboard Moment: Stress and Toxins(0:17:00) - Christine's Story: Mold and Emotional Trauma(0:22:00) - Feeling Safe in Your Body and Environment(0:25:00) - The Power of Intuition in Healing(0:31:00) - Moving Beyond the Victim Mentality(0:35:00) - The Nervous System as a Spiritual Practice(0:40:00) - Shame: The Second to Last Boss(0:44:00) - Rebuilding Trust with Your Body(0:47:00) - Dr. G's Morning Rituals and Energy Protection(0:53:00) - Circadian Rhythm and Grounding(0:55:00) - Why We Incarnate➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Español YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Português YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Deutsch YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Français YouTube✏️Ask Julie a Question!

Send a textNot all trauma comes from a single event. Sometimes the trauma pathway is the environment itself—ongoing pressure, instability, or threat with little realistic ability to escape or recover. In this episode, we explore “chronic stress without an exit” as a nervous system pattern that can keep the body stuck in mobilised protection (wired, urgent, hypervigilant) and, over time, slide into shutdown (numb, foggy, depleted). Using simple polyvagal-informed language, we name common “invisible injuries” that can look like burnout or personality changes, and offer realistic support strategies that don't rely on toxic positivity or impossible self-care. We close with a one-minute downshift practice designed for busy, high-load lives.In this episode, you'll learnWhat chronic stress without an exit is (and why the “no-exit” part matters)Why this trauma pathway is often minimised or missedPolyvagal-informed patterns: stuck mobilisation, shutdown, and cyclingCommon signs (non-diagnostic): sleep disruption, irritability, guilt, numbness, withdrawal, fatigueWhat helps realistically: micro-recovery, load reduction, consistent support, and “islands of safety”A short grounding practice for quick nervous system downshiftingGrounding practice (1–2 minutes): “1-Minute Downshift”Unclench jaw, drop shoulders slightly3 extended exhales with a gentle humPhrase: “I'm allowed to have a small pause”Name one tiny next step that reduces the loadCheck the website for the free resources offered for both those affected by trauma and those supporting them.What's next: Society-Shaped Trauma (Part 1): Discrimination & Minority StressSupport the show

NSW has moved fast to reform its planning system, promising to unlock housing supply through sweeping state-led controls. But zoning uplift alone doesn't build homes. In this episode, we ask the harder question many in property are thinking but few say out loud: is the system genuinely delivering housing, or quietly choking supply through feasibility constraints, delays, and unintended consequences?Joining us is James Oldknow, Special Counsel at Mills Oakley, who works daily at the sharp end of planning approvals, appeals, and the NSW Land & Environment Court. James breaks down why Transport Oriented Development (TOD) has produced little real-world uptake, while the Low-to-Mid Rise (LMR) policy is driving a surge of applications—particularly in Sydney's most expensive, tightly held suburbs.We unpack how affordable housing incentives are being used to make projects stack up, why premium locations like Mosman, Waverley, and Woollahra are seeing the most change, and how the new Housing Delivery Authority is fast-tracking large projects while sidelining local controls. Along the way, we tackle design quality, heritage, infrastructure strain, and the emotional toll these changes are having on established communities.For investors, homeowners, and anyone exposed to property in NSW, this episode is a reality check. And if you're wondering what could be coming in other states, this could be the canary in the coalmine. The reforms aren't a silver bullet—but they are already reshaping values, neighbourhoods, and long-term decisions for those paying attention.Episode Highlights00:00 — Introduction to NSW Planning System01:33 — Meet the Expert: James Oldknow04:41 — Challenges in TOD Applications08:33 — LMR Policy and Its Impact10:52 — Affordable Housing and Feasibility16:42 — Community Concerns and Planning Rigors26:53 — Development Typologies Across New South Wales28:59 — Concerns About Centralized Authority30:43 — Affordable Housing and Contribution Funds32:17 — Infrastructure and Traffic Concerns34:33 — Heritage and Environmental Considerations43:29 — Navigating Development Consents and Modifications45:29 — Final Thoughts and AdviceAbout the GuestJames Oldknow is Special Counsel in Mills Oakley's Planning and Environment team, specialising in planning and development law across New South Wales. He advises landowners and developers on projects of all sizes and regularly appears before councils, planning panels, and the NSW Land & Environment Court.Working daily within the approvals and appeals system, James sees firsthand where projects stall, why others succeed, and how state policies like LMR, TOD, and the Housing Delivery Authority operate in practice—not theory. His perspective is grounded in real projects, real constraints, and real outcomes, making him uniquely placed to cut through the policy noise and explain what NSW's planning reforms are actually delivering on the ground.Connect with JamesJames' LinkedIn Mills Oakley Website Mills Oakley LinkedIn ResourcesVisit our website:

Otolaryngologist Alan P. Feren discusses his article "How system strain contributes to medical gaslighting in health care." Alan explores why encounters that patients experience as dismissive or manipulative often stem from communication breakdowns driven by productivity pressures rather than clinician malice. He examines the cognitive reality of modern practice where heuristic shortcuts and a discomfort with uncertainty lead well-intentioned providers to offer premature reassurance that feels like invalidation. The conversation highlights critical inflection points like early interruptions and reliance on "normal" test results that erode trust and delay diagnosis. Alan argues that resolving this crisis requires moving beyond blame toward a partnership model where uncertainty is explicitly named and shared.

A recent study published in Physical Review Letters suggests that the mysterious high-energy neutrino detected in 2023 may have originated from a quasi-extremal primordial black hole. This type of black hole, theorized to exist since the Big Bang, could explain the otherwise unexplainable energy levels of the neutrino and potentially unlock the secrets of dark matter and the fundamental nature of the universe.Mars' Dust Storms and Water LossNew research published in Communications Earth and Environment reveals that localized dust storms on Mars may play a significant role in the planet's water loss. While Mars is currently a dry desert, evidence from its surface indicates a wetter past. The study shows that intense dust storms can transport water vapor to higher altitudes, facilitating its escape into space, thus contributing to the long-standing mystery of Martian water depletion.Plasma Daniel for Hypersonic TestingA groundbreaking facility known as the plasma tunnel is now being used by scientists and engineers to simulate the extreme conditions spacecraft face during atmospheric reentry. The plasma tunnel generates high-speed plasma flows that mimic the intense heat and pressure experienced during reentry, providing critical data for developing safer and more efficient spacecraft. This innovative technology could revolutionize our understanding of hypersonic flight and enhance mission safety for future space exploration.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesPhysical Review Letters, Communications Earth and EnvironmentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-with-stuart-gary--2458531/support.(00:00:00) Astronomers investigate a potential black hole explosion(00:07:15) New study reveals how dust storms on Mars contribute to water loss(00:15:30) The plasma tunnel: recreating atmospheric reentry conditions(00:22:45) Science report: Genetic factors influencing life expectancy(00:30:00) Bigfoot sightings and cultural phenomena in America

https://teachhoops.com/ Varying basketball practices is the primary defense against the "January Lull"—that mid-season stretch where physical fatigue and mental monotony can lead to a plateau in performance. To keep the energy high, you must intentionally disrupt the "rhythm of the routine." This doesn't mean changing your core values or terminology, but rather changing the delivery method of your drills. If you typically start with a 15-minute fundamental block, try starting with a "High-Intensity Scrimmage" or a competitive "Special Situation" instead. By shifting the sequence of your practice plan, you force the athletes' brains to re-engage and stay "on their toes," ensuring that the gym remains a place of growth rather than a place of habit. A powerful way to vary your sessions is through the use of "Themed Practices" and "Constraint-Based" learning. Instead of a generic practice, dedicate an entire Tuesday to "Defensive Dominance" or a Thursday to "Transition Chaos." During these sessions, apply specific constraints to your 5-on-5 play—such as "no dribbling" or "every possession must touch the post." These variations force players to solve problems in new ways, building a more robust "Basketball IQ." Additionally, use "Competitive Drills" where the score carries over from one segment to the next. When there is a "Winner of the Day" on the line, the natural competitive fire of the athletes will prevent the stagnation that comes from repetitive, non-competitive reps. Finally, variety should be driven by data and player feedback. Use the mid-season to perform a "Practice Audit"—look at your film and see which drills are producing the most "Game-Like" repetitions and which are resulting in players standing in lines. If you notice the energy dipping, be willing to "call an audible" and throw in a "Fun Finisher" or a shooting competition to lift the mood. By utilizing member calls or mentorship to explore new drill libraries, you ensure that you always have a "fresh deck of cards" to play. Remember, a varied practice is a productive practice; when players are excited to see "what's next" on the plan, they are more likely to give the 100% effort required to build a championship culture.

Read Dr. Kyle Ferguson's report here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/19406940.2025.2583976#abstract Development is more than coaching sessions. It's more than a curriculum. More than what happens for 75 minutes on a Tuesday night. And it's definitely more than league position. In this episode, Dr. Kyle Ferguson joins Gary Curneen to explore what youth technical leadership really looks like in 2026. After an 18-month review of youth football systems, Kyle breaks down why the child must be at the center of everything — and why that requires more than better drills. We dive into governance, education, environment, and the game itself. Why one-size-fits-all coaching is holding development back. Why copying the Premier League model for kids misses the point. Why “fair minutes” might matter more than trophies. And why parent education is no longer optional. If you're a coach, director, or club leader trying to build something sustainable — this conversation will challenge your thinking and stretch your leadership beyond the pitch. This is youth technical leadership done properly.

I want to hear your thoughts about the show and this episode. Text us here...What if neurodiversity isn't a barrier to success, but a set of strengths that can shine in the right environment? In this episode, Julie sits down with Shea Belsky, an autistic leader, advocate, and tech professional, for a practical and eye-opening conversation about what neurodiversity really means, why accessibility is equity, and how workplaces and communities can better support neurodivergent individuals.Shea shares his “superpower” (attention to detail and tenacity), but also makes an important point: strengths only show up when people have the right support systems. Julie and Shea talk about the difference between mentorship vs sponsorship, why sponsorship is often the game-changer for career growth, and how companies can scale inclusive practices without making it feel complicated or performative.They also unpack the reality of unemployment and underemployment for neurodivergent people, what accessibility looks like beyond ramps and captions, and the simple mindset shift that can change everything: listen better, drop assumptions, and treat each person as an individual.In this episode, you'll learn:What “neurodiversity” includes (and why it's an umbrella, not one experience)Why neurodivergence can be innate or acquired (including cognitive changes after illness)The difference between mentorship and sponsorship, and why sponsors change careersWhat accessibility actually means and why it matters in daily life and workHow to support neurodivergent people in your workplace and your communityWhy “if you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person” is the truthHow to challenge stereotypes in your own corner of the worldConnect with Shea Shea's best place to connect is LinkedIn (search “Shea Belsky”, he says there's only one!).

"If you give rivers more space to flood the lands, to bring sediment - sand, clay - they not only bring sediment, they also bring life!"In this episode of Rewilding the World, Ben Goldsmith interviews one of the most impactful architects of rewilding in Europe, Dutchman Wouter Helmer. Despite being the most densely populated, intensively farmed and heavily developed country in Europe, The Netherlands is a rewilding powerhouse. Wouter's key insight is simply that rewilding offers the most effective way to protect communities from flooding which has blighted the Netherlands for centuries. As a result, the country is now threaded with fat, vibrant corridors of nature, teeming with wildlife.Ben Goldsmith is a British financier and rewilding enthusiast.

It's the hottest sector in the global energy industry right now, driven by rising power demand, the need to back up variable renewable generation, and escalating threats to grid resilience. It is of course, battery storage. Host Ed Crooks and regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe speak with Julian Nebreda, CEO of energy storage systems company Fluence, about why batteries are becoming essential grid infrastructure. At peak hours during the bitterly cold weather that has covered much of North America in recent weeks, batteries accounted for about 1% of US power supply. But even a relatively small share of battery capacity can play an outsized role in preventing outages, Julian says. He argues that batteries are best understood not as replacements for fossil fuels, but as system optimizers: delivering fast-response capacity, stabilizing grids, and allowing generation assets to run more efficiently. With Amy and Ed, he addresses some of the common myths around batteries' cold-weather performance, multi-peak demand days and reliability compared with traditional generation.The gang explores the next wave of demand growth for batteries, particularly from new data centres for AI. Julian points to “speed to power” as a major new driver for storage deployment, as the hyperscalers and other tech companie try to bring new data centre capacity online as quickly as they can. There discussion also covers the geopolitical significance of storage, the attempt to build a battery supply chain in the US, the strngths of distributed versus centralised system designs, and examples of operations from Texas to Ukraine. As Amy notes, the industry is still catching up to the full potential of storage, but the potential is enormous.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Chennai, São Paulo, Mexico City, Tehran, Cape Town - these cities have all faced the threat of a ‘Zero Day', or, having no fresh water left in their taps. The UN says we're entering a ‘water bankruptcy' era, meaning our water ‘current accounts' are running empty, while our ‘savings accounts' - the long term stores of water deep underground - have been depleted, with some beyond repair. So how did we get here?From clearing forests for cattle grazing, to thirsty AI data centres, Rajan Datar examines the pressures on our global water supply and looks for solutions.Contributors: Jayshree Vencatesan, Co-founder, Care Earth Trust, India Augusto Getirana, research scientist at NASA's Hydrological Sciences Laboratory, USA Prof Bridget Scanlon, Bureau of Economic Geology, University of Texas, USA Dr Jie-Sheng Tan Soo, Director, Institute for Environment and Sustainability, National University of SingaporePresenter: Rajan Datar Producer: Phoebe Keane Researcher: Evie Yabsley Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith Technical Producer: Cameron Ward Production Management Assistant: Liam Morrey(Photo: Indian women with empty plastic pots protest as they demand drinking water.

After more than a decade of flat demand, the US power sector is now facing explosive growth, arriving faster than grids, generation, and transmission can be built. In this episode, Interim host of Interchange Recharged Bridget van Dorsten is joined by Chris Seiple, Vice Chairman of Power & Renewables at Wood Mackenzie, to unpack one of the defining challenges facing the modern energy system: how utilities, developers, and policymakers are responding to an unprecedented surge in electricity demand driven by data centres, AI, and reshoring manufacturing. Bridget and Chris explore what makes this moment different, why planning cycles are colliding with short technology investment horizons, and how this mismatch is forcing a fundamental rethink of how the power business works, from energy policy to energy finance. The main point is that the difference between regulated and deregulated markets is widening, as vertically integrated utilities strengthen their advantage in managing large loads.New mechanisms like large-load tariffs are reshaping rate design, investment risk, and affordability - Chris explains how. Plus, deregulated markets may be approaching a tipping point, as traditional price signals struggle to accommodate demand arriving at this scale and speed. What does it all mean for energy?Crucially, the episode looks beyond the immediate crunch to the longer-term implications for the energy transition. From renewable energy and solar energy pipelines to grid resilience, transmission innovation, and behind-the-meter solutions, this demand boom could become a powerful catalyst for clean tech, clean technology, and energy innovation, even as subsidy regimes change and capital costs rise.The discussion also touches on the role of hydrogen, nuclear, and emerging grid technologies in supporting future energy projects, and why this period of rapid load growth may ultimately accelerate decarbonisation rather than slow it. If you're tracking climate policy, climate change, green finance, and long-term energy predictions, this episode is for you; hear why today's data centre boom could shape the next several decades of the power system.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

FOR MORE - Debt Fund Due Diligence Hub: www.passivepockets.com/debtdd Next Steps Join the discussion + access links/resources: www.passivepockets.com/debtdd Attend the community Zooms (or watch recordings later) Dates mentioned in the episode: Feb 18, Feb 25, Mar 3 (check the member dashboard for times/updates) Attend the 2026 Summit Conference: https://get.biggerpockets.com/passivepocketssummit2026/ This Episode We're officially kicking off PassivePockets' new Debt Fund Due Diligence Series built around what members told us they want most: capital protection and steady cash flow in an uncertain macro environment. Chris Lopez breaks down what real estate private lending actually is (fix-and-flip, bridge, and ground-up construction), why senior debt sits in the “first paid / last to lose” position on the capital stack, and how lending can reduce downside volatility compared to equity-heavy strategies. From there, Chris gets tactical on how to evaluate debt funds like a pro, starting with the single most important document: the loan tape. You'll learn what a loan tape is, what to look for (LTV/LTC/LTARV, borrower quality, defaults/delinquencies, interest reserves, extensions, leverage, fees, and more), and how real-time portfolio data can change the way you assess track record versus longer-cycle equity deals. Chris also shares a field-tested framework for deeper due diligence, including the on-site audit process: reviewing SOPs, pulling and verifying loan files, confirming recorded deeds of trust, and “follow the money” bank reconciliation to reduce lending and fraud risk. Finally, Chris outlines what's next for the series community Zooms, expert panels, sponsor spotlights, and ultimately a community-built Debt Fund DD checklist that lives in the membership area as a continuously updated resource. Key Takeaways Why we're starting with debt: members' #1 fear is losing principal and #1 motivation is steady cash flow Private lending basics: fix-and-flip, bridge, and ground-up construction loan types—and typical timelines Real estate credit is massive: a multi-trillion-dollar market many retail investors still have little exposure to Capital stack 101: why senior debt is “first paid / last to lose,” and how it can reduce return variance Portfolio strategy: debt often functions like the “bond sleeve” of a real estate portfolio as you rebalance risk Two approaches: direct lending (control + concentration) vs debt funds (diversification + passivity) The loan tape: what it is, why it matters, and which columns/metrics actually tell you if risk is controlled The two risks Chris focuses on: lending risk (staying inside the credit box) and fraud risk (borrower + fund level) What “real due diligence” can look like: on-site audits, file pulls, deed-of-trust confirmation, and bank reconciliation Series roadmap: kickoff → community Zooms → panels/fund spotlights → group DD → living DD checklist Disclaimer The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only.

Matt and Dr. Eti Ben Simon begin their latest AMA by exploring somniloquy as fragmented noise within Stage 2 NREM sleep. They distinguish these vocalizations from REM Sleep Behavior Disorder, where the brain's paralysis mechanism fails. The pair also examines how Long Covid triggers chronic sleep fragmentation in half of all patients. This disruption is tethered to systemic inflammation and elevated C-reactive protein.The hosts find sparse evidence for CBD and CBN, noting a pattern of pharmacological tolerance, and observe that users require massive dose escalations to maintain a fading baseline of benefit. They go on to address the bedroom environment, emphasizing air quality and carbon dioxide risks, and, finally, reinforce consistency as the most potent tool for anchoring the human circadian rhythm.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.One of this week's sponsors, AG1, is one that Matt relies upon for his foundational nutrition.
