Episode Summary: In this episode of the Solar Maverick Podcast, Benoy speaks with Bill Taylor, CEO and owner of DCE Solar, about his 17-year journey building one of the solar industry's most resilient racking and construction companies. Bill shares how DCE Solar grew from a racking supplier into a group of businesses spanning racking systems, construction services, engineering and design, carports, ground mounts, rooftop systems, and single-axis trackers for solar projects across the United States. The conversation covers how Bill has navigated the "solar coaster" through financial discipline, a strong company culture, and a focus on quality and long-term customer relationships rather than competing purely on price. Bill and Benoy also dig into the technical side of racking and tracker design for challenging terrain and cold climates, DCE's exclusive U.S. partnership with Spain's Axial Structures, and why AI-driven data center growth is making reliable power access more critical than ever for the US''s energy strategy.

Wir machen Ernst und verwandeln den Scherz von letzter Woche in eine brandneue Folge! Paula hat tatsächlich ein Glückskeks gezogen, und die Botschaft könnte nicht passender sein: „Achten Sie darauf, dass Sie sich nicht zu sehr verausgaben!“ Wie versprochen, ist genau das heute unser Thema! Warum verausgaben wir uns immer wieder oder sogar andauernd? Und warum ist es dennoch nicht gerade leicht, die Aufforderung des Glückskeks zu befolgen? Auch, wenn die Verausgabung nicht wirklich zum gewünschten Resultat führt. Warum löst die Botschaft eventuell sogar Ärger aus und was können wir tun, um zur gewünschten Erholung zu gelangen? Hör rein und lerne gemeinsam mit uns, dich nicht zu sehr zu verausgaben!

Heute bekommt die Regierung ein komplettes Reformpaket überstellt – und damit auch den Auftrag, in Reformfragen endlich Ernst zu machen. Dabei geht es längst nicht mehr nur um die Alterssicherung.

Shadow Politics with Senator Michael D. Brown and Co-host Liberty Jones Unstoppable in Iowa: India May on Rural Power, Health Care, and Speaking Truth to Power Guest, India May, Political Candidate, Speaker, Advocate A Grassroots Conversation About Local Courage In this episode of Shadow Politics, hosts Michael D. Brown and Liberty Jones welcome India May, Democratic candidate for Iowa House District 58, covering Floyd, Chickasaw, and Bremer counties. Michael introduces her as a nurse, librarian, medical examiner investigator, mother, and community advocate who gained attention after publicly confronting Senator Joni Ernst about Medicare and Medicaid cuts. The episode focuses on local power, rural politics, health care, LGBTQ rights, campaign finance, voter access, and what it means for an ordinary citizen to step into public leadership. Discovering the Power of One Civilian Voice India says one of the biggest lessons she has learned over the past year is how much power civilians truly have. She points to her public criticism of Senator Joni Ernst, who later announced retirement, and her scrutiny of her opponent's unpaid property taxes, after which he paid them. India's point is that people do not have to wait until they hold office to make a difference. By speaking plainly, documenting facts, and refusing to be silent, ordinary citizens can pressure powerful figures and create real consequences. From Independent Voter to Democratic Candidate Liberty asks India about the difference between her expectations and the realities of running for office. India explains that she spent much of her voting life as an independent and is now running as a Democrat in red, rural Iowa. She says she has been pleasantly surprised by the number of people willing to step up, volunteer, knock doors, join parades, and publicly support a campaign that calls for change. She describes live music, community energy, and people applauding the campaign at local events as signs that many rural Iowans know something is wrong and want a different direction. A Campaign Rooted in Fair Voting When Liberty asks what policies are most important to India, she names voting reform as her top priority. India supports efforts discussed by Iowa gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand to make voting more fair and less dependent on party structures. She criticizes Iowa's ban on ranked-choice voting and says she is interested in open primaries, star voting, approval voting, and ballot measures. Her goal is to make Iowa's political system more responsive to voters rather than party machinery. Medicaid, Mental Health, and a Broken Health System Michael asks about India's well-known confrontation with Senator Ernst over Medicaid cuts and how those cuts affect Iowans. India says Iowa has already been ahead of the curve in damaged health care because Medicaid was privatized in 2016. She describes delayed care, denied care, unpaid reimbursements to hospitals, work requirements, and hospitals struggling to stay open. She also says Iowa ranks at the bottom for inpatient mental health care availability and faces severe health care deserts, rising cancer concerns, and limited oncology access across many counties. The “Big Beautiful Bill” and Political Timing India argues that federal cuts tied to the so-called “big beautiful bill” will be devastating and says the timing of implementation appears politically calculated. According to her, the cuts are delayed until November, creating an opening for Republicans to blame Democrats if the party balance changes after the election. Michael responds that this shows she has learned one of the central lessons of politics: policy and timing are often structured to shape public blame. Christianity, MAGA, and Moral Accountability The conversation turns to religion and politics when Michael, speaking as a Christian and father of an openly gay daughter, asks how Christians reconcile cruelty toward LGBTQ people, immigrants, and vulnerable groups. India, who says she was raised Methodist, contrasts the Methodist slogan “open hearts, open minds, open doors” with what she describes as MAGA cruelty. She says even the Old Testament emphasizes hospitality to strangers and kindness to those in need, and she argues that current right-wing politics often represents the opposite of what Christ or Christianity teaches. LGBTQ Rights, Book Bans, and Iowa's Culture War India discusses the legislative push in Iowa against LGBTQ protections, trans and nonbinary people, and public libraries. She says Republicans have enacted or pursued punishing policies against LGBTQ Iowans and banned local governments from passing protective ordinances. As a former librarian, she criticizes book bans and groups such as Moms for Liberty, saying the fear that books about gay families will “turn children gay” is baseless. She connects the fight over libraries and education to broader attempts to control speech, identity, and public understanding. Teen Pregnancy, Sex Education, and Child Safety The discussion also touches on sex education and child safety. India argues that teen pregnancy has declined not because of abstinence-only silence but because young people have more access to information and teach one another how to be safer. She emphasizes that adults abusing children, not LGBTQ people or books, are a real issue that should be confronted honestly. Michael adds that in his own experience, abuse often came from heterosexual authority figures, reinforcing the need for real education rather than fear-based censorship. Money, PACs, and a Grassroots Fundraising Fight India explains that her campaign has raised meaningful support and even outraised her opponent in some ways, though he has outspent her and benefits from PAC funding. She contrasts his expensive steak-dinner fundraising with her community-centered grilled cheese events, including a planned family-friendly fundraiser at the Floyd County Fairgrounds with games and raffle tickets. She stresses that every small donation matters and directs listeners to MayForIowa.com for campaign support. Rural Iowa, Brain Drain, and Keeping Young People Home Liberty asks how rural Iowa can keep young workers, doctors, entrepreneurs, and college graduates from leaving. India says the problem is real and often called “brain drain.” She argues that young people leave when communities attack LGBTQ people, underfund public schools, fail to protect workers, allow corporations to exploit communities, and make life less livable. Her answer is that Iowa must become a place where young people can be safe, respected, employed, and proud to build a life near their families. Challenging Her Opponent's Record India discusses her opponent, Charlie Thompson, saying he has served two terms in the Iowa legislature while also working as a lawyer and real estate developer. She criticizes him for not paying property taxes on several properties and for being involved in a stalled downtown development project in Charles City. She also criticizes legislation he supported, including a three-strikes-style bill that she says will increase incarceration despite Iowa not being a high-crime state, especially troubling in a state with poor mental health care access. Water Quality, Cancer, and the Cost of Silence A major policy issue India raises is Iowa's water quality. She says a study identified nitrates from agricultural runoff as a major contaminant and connects this to Iowa's rising cancer concerns. She criticizes the state for failing to educate the public after the study and says candidates must be willing to have hard conversations about unsafe water, preventable cancer risks, health care costs, child care costs, exploitative tax structures, and corporate influence. For India, voters may eventually wake up when these issues affect their health and wallets directly. Trump, MAGA, and Cracks in the Bubble Michael asks whether Trump's appeal is fading in Iowa, especially among farmers affected by tariffs and economic pressure. India says Trump signs came down quickly in Iowa and notes farmer bankruptcies as a serious concern. She believes some former MAGA supporters are beginning to question what they were told, including one former Trump supporter who wrote her name on the Republican primary ballot. Still, she says many voters remain trapped in algorithmic echo chambers, making truth-telling and local conversations essential. Iowa's Governor's Race and Statewide Politics India also discusses Iowa's governor's race, praising Rob Sand while criticizing Governor Kim Reynolds and the current Republican leadership. She says Reynolds is deeply unpopular and criticizes her use of taxpayer-funded private-jet travel while asking Iowans what public services they would sacrifice to reduce property taxes. India also discusses Republican candidate Zach Lahn, portraying him as a wealthy, Koch-connected figure who talks about water quality but carries far-right cultural positions. Her broader point is that Iowa politics is full of contradictions, money, and high stakes. An Authentic Candidate With an Unstoppable Message As the interview closes, Liberty asks what India would want young Iowans to remember. India's answer is to be unapologetically themselves, find out who they are, and speak truth to power relentlessly. Michael praises her authenticity, endorses her candidacy, and calls her the kind of candidate America needs. Liberty says she does not have the same power to endorse, but will buy a campaign shirt. The show closes with Michael dedicating Sia's “Unstoppable” to India May and encouraging listeners to support her campaign.

Für Jüngere heute kaum mehr vorstellbar, prägten alliierte Soldaten Jahrzehnte lang das Bild vieler deutscher Städte. Im hessischen Gelnhausen verdoppelten 8.000 US-Soldaten die Einwohnerzahl und verwandelten das beschauliche Nest besonders am „Payday“ in eine völlig andere Welt. Die Schwestern Helgard und Heike Haug kehren in ihre alte Heimat zurück, um diese Ära zu dokumentieren. Ihr Feature zeigt das Leben einer typischen Garnisonsstadt im Spannungsfeld zwischen Kleinstadt-Banalität und dem tödlichen Ernst des Kalten Krieges. Von Helgard und Heike Hauk WDR/SWR 2011

Serra Al-Deen hat zwar schon als kleines Kind gerne Geschichten geschrieben, aber „professionelles Schreiben“ war für sie lange keine denkbare Option. Sie ist als Tochter irakischer Migranten in Heidelberg geboren und aufgewachsen, hat Anglistik und Arabistik studiert und ist ausgebildete Dolmetscherin. Inzwischen studiert die 35 Jährige am Deutschen Literaturinstitut in Leipzig. Wie viele junge Autorinnen und Autoren fragt auch sie sich: wie findet man seine eigene literarische Stimme? Wen wünscht man sich als Publikum? Und wie findet man seinen Platz im Literaturbetrieb?

Pleite, nicht mehr da. Hier, ein wunderschönes Café, supergeile Lage, Konkurs, nicht mehr da. Was ist bloß los? Warum gehen Firmen Konkurs? Warum gehen Firmen pleite? Was ich immer wieder höre: „Es gibt keine guten Mitarbeiter." Das stimmt einfach nicht. Da muss ich entschieden dagegenhalten, denn das ist eine Lüge. Es gibt großartige, fantastische Mitarbeiter. Die Frage ist: Bist du ein großartiger Chef? Ich war gestern Morgen frühstücken bei einem Kunden und habe der Inhaberin zu ihrem tollen Lokal und ihren coolen Mitarbeitern gratuliert. Sie meinte: „Ja, ich habe halt Glück gehabt." Genau dieses Wort wird völlig überstrapaziert. Es hat nichts mit Glück zu tun, tolle Mitarbeiter an seiner Seite zu haben. Hören wir endlich auf, alles auf Glück zu schieben. Viele Chefs sind schlecht gelaunt, unhöflich, stur oder behandeln ihre Mitarbeiter von oben herab. Dabei brauchen wir Menschen alle Anerkennung und Wertschätzung. Das gilt nicht nur für Unternehmen, sondern auch für Partnerschaften und Familien. Wie oft erlebst du, dass Menschen schlecht über ihren Partner, ihre Eltern oder ihre Kinder reden und das auch noch lustig finden? Wenn du wertschätzend bist, verändert sich die Welt. Ohne Wertschätzung fühlen sich Mitarbeiter wertlos. Dann ist es nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis sie sich fragen, warum sie überhaupt noch für ihren Arbeitgeber arbeiten sollen. Behandle deine Mitarbeiter auf Augenhöhe und nicht von oben herab. Ich höre immer wieder: „Den Mitarbeitern geht es nur noch ums Geld." Das stimmt nicht. Natürlich müssen wir alle Geld verdienen. Aber Menschen wollen sich wohlfühlen. Sie wollen gerne zur Arbeit gehen. Sie wollen Sinn in ihrer Tätigkeit sehen und eine Perspektive für ihre Zukunft haben. Fehlt all das, entstehen Probleme. Ich will nicht behaupten, dass dieser Konkurs ausschließlich deshalb entstanden ist. Ich war oft hier und fand es immer sehr schön. Doch das Team hat immer wieder gesagt: „Wir haben zu wenige Leute." „Wir sind überfordert." „Wir haben zu wenig Personal." Viele Chefs interessiert das nicht. Sie verteilen die Arbeit einfach auf die wenigen Mitarbeiter, die noch da sind. Irgendwann kommt der Punkt, an dem diese Menschen nicht mehr können. Wenn der Chef dann zusätzlich pampig ist oder kaum präsent ist, funktioniert das Ganze nicht mehr. Was heißt das also? Es gibt da draußen viele wunderbare Menschen. Aber du musst bereit sein, mit ihnen menschlich umzugehen. Schaffe ein Umfeld, in dem sich deine Mitarbeiter wohlfühlen und wahrgenommen werden. Denn überall gibt es Druck zu Hause, im Alltag und im Beruf. Umso wichtiger ist ein Arbeitsplatz, an dem Menschen gerne sind. Ich freue mich auf deine Kommentare. Wenn du Unternehmer bist und merkst, dass du nicht richtig vorankommst, dann lass uns gerne sprechen. Es gibt Lösungen, wie auch du tolle Menschen an deiner Seite haben kannst.

The League Episode #50 – Show Notes In this episode of The League, Benoy Thanjan and David Magid break down the latest clean energy trends. They discuss litigation surrounding alleged battery leaks in Suffolk County, the revocation of a permit for a major Ohio solar project, and the growing regulatory risks confronting developers. They also explore why data centers, warehouses, and other large energy users are increasingly adopting behind-the-meter solar and storage as grid constraints and interconnection delays make access to reliable power a critical business issue. The episode concludes with a major industry milestone: solar generated more U.S. electricity than coal in May 2026. Benoy and David explain why pairing solar with battery storage can make renewable power more valuable, flexible, and responsive to periods of peak demand.   Host Bio: Benoy Thanjan Benoy Thanjan is the Founder and CEO of Rene Down down down down downu Energy, solar developer and consulting firm, and a strategic advisor to multiple cleantech startups.

Ernst Loosen vom Weingut Dr. Loosen über seinen Weg vom Archäologen zum Winzer, alte Reben, Schiefer und die Kunst, einem Wein Zeit zu lassen. Werbung Diese Folge des Winzer Talk entstand in Kooperation mit der Wein- und Ferienregion Bernkastel-Kues. Ernst Loosen vom Weingut Dr. Loosen über seinen Weg vom Archäologen zum Winzer, alte Reben, Schiefer und die Kunst, einem Wein Zeit zu lassen. Um 1900 waren die Rieslinge von Rhein und Mosel die berühmtesten und teuersten Weine der Welt, teurer als die großen Bordeaux. Heute weiß das kaum noch jemand. Einer, der dieses Erbe wieder zum Leben erweckt hat, ist Ernst Loosen, von vielen als Botschafter der wiederentdeckten deutschen Riesling-Kultur bezeichnet. Für diese Folge kehre ich zurück nach Bernkastel-Kues an der Mittelmosel, mitten ins größte Steillagenweinbaugebiet der Welt. Ein Ort, an dem die Zeit stehengeblieben scheint, mit seiner historischen Altstadt voller Fachwerkhäuser, dem mittelalterlichen Marktplatz und der Burg Landshut, die hoch über allem thront, ringsherum nichts als steile Weinberge. Hier liegt das Weingut Dr. Loosen. Eigentlich wollte Ernst Loosen Archäologe werden. Stattdessen übernahm er das Familienweingut und führte es zurück zu den Wurzeln. Große Weine wie vor 100 Jahren, mit alten Reben, Schiefer, 100 Prozent gesunden Trauben und vor allem viel Geduld. Wir sprechen über die zwei Wein-Traditionen, die er geerbt hat, über einen Riesling, der erst nach 50 Jahren in den Verkauf kommt, über den größten Irrtum im Weinkeller, den er erst durch eine Blindprobe entlarvte, und darüber, warum gerade jetzt die spannendste Zeit für deutschen Wein ist. Viel Freude mit dieser Reise an die Mosel, nach Bernkastel-Kues.

Dank seines 'valentinesken Charakterkopfs' und seiner wurzelechtenbairischen Sprache profiliert sich Karl Obermayr in den 1970er-Jahren immer mehr als markanter Schauspielertyp.

Anna Bicker, Alexander Spier und Daniel Ziegener sprechen in dieser Ausgabe der #heiseshow unter anderem über folgende Themen: - Kein Fable für Ausländer: US-Regierung erzwingt Abschaltung von Anthropics KI-Modellen – Eine Exportkontrolldirektive der US-Regierung untersagt ausländischen Staatsangehörigen den Zugriff auf Anthropics KI-Modelle Fable 5 und Mythos 5 – auch ausländischen Anthropic-Mitarbeitern innerhalb der USA. Da sich der Ausschluss einzelner Nutzergruppen nicht kurzfristig rechtssicher umsetzen lässt, musste Anthropic beide Modelle zunächst für alle Kunden abschalten. Anthropic vermutet, dass die Regierung Kenntnis von einer Methode erlangt habe, bei der die Sicherheitsmaßnahmen von Fable 5 so umgangen werden könnten, dass es für Hackerangriffe genutzt werden könnte. Was bedeutet das für die globale KI-Entwicklung, wenn die USA ihre Frontier-Modelle als Exportgut behandeln? Wie reagieren die Menschen in der EU auf diese Art von KI-Exportkontrolle? Und ist Anthropics Erklärung, es handle sich um ein „Missverständnis", glaubwürdig? - Game over? Xbox-Studios wollen Schließung verhindern – Mehrere Xbox-Studios verhandeln über eine Abspaltung von Microsoft, um ihre drohende Schließung abzuwenden. Betroffen sind das kanadische Compulsion Games und das in San Francisco ansässige Double Fine, die sich von Xbox zurückkaufen wollen. Beim britischen Studio Ninja Theory ist die Lage besonders ernst: Die Belegschaft wurde bereits in einem Call über die Schließung informiert, das Team hofft aber noch auf einen Käufer. Wie konnte es dazu kommen, dass Xbox ausgerechnet Kult-Studios mit gefeierten Spielen schließt?

Der Münchner Comedian Yalcin Norton hat persische Wurzeln, seine Familie und seine Kindheit bezeichnet er liebevoll als laut und chaotisch:  "Und ich bin nicht der Witzigste von allen". Dass er den Humor zu seinem Beruf gemacht hat, war lange Zeit nicht klar. Erst ein Freund brachte ihn vom Business-Leben zur Bühne. Was wiederum seine Familie erst verkraften musste. Bei Thorsten Otto erzählt Yalcin Norton, wie er sein Publikum am liebsten zum Lachen bringt, wie mutig seine Eltern sind und welche kulturellen Eigenheiten er selbst zum Schmunzeln findet.

Ein mittelständisches Familienunternehmen macht Ernst mit KI im Controlling – und berichtet offen über erste Erfahrungen mit KI-gestütztem Forecasting: Was hat funktioniert, wo lagen die Hürden, und was sollte man auf keinen Fall unterschätzen? Ein praxisnaher Einblick für alle, die selbst vor dieser Frage stehen.

We're revisiting conversations with two special guests who have passed away since these interviews were recorded — architect Paul Rudolph's partner Ernst Wagner and Frank Lloyd Wright's grandson, architect Eric Lloyd Wright.  Ernst Wagner died in 2024 at 81. A Swiss exchange student who came to New York in 1970, he met architect Paul Rudolph and the two became lifelong partners both in architecture and in business, co-founding the Modulightor lighting company and building the landmark Modulightor Building on East 58th Street. After Rudolph's death, Ernst spent nearly three decades keeping that legacy alive, founding what has become the Paul Rudolph Institute and opening this iconic building to the public several times a month under the leadership of CEO Kelvin Dickinson.

Episode Summary: In this episode of the Solar Maverick Podcast, Benoy speaks with Inigo, co-founder and CEO of Concentro and founder of Folio, about how AI is helping streamline clean energy project finance. Inigo shares the story behind Concentro and how tax credit transferability created new opportunities in the market.  The conversation focuses on Folio, an AI-powered platform created by Concentro that helps project finance teams organize data rooms, manage diligence, extract key information from documents, and prepare projects for financing.  Biographies Benoy Thanjan Benoy Thanjan is the Founder and CEO of Reneu Energy, solar developer and consulting firm, and a strategic advisor to multiple cleantech startups. Over his career, Benoy has developed over 100 MWs of solar projects across the U.S., helped launch the first residential solar tax equity funds at Tesla, and brokered $50 million in Renewable Energy Credits (“REC”) transactions. Prior to founding Reneu Energy, Benoy was the Environmental Commodities Trader in Tesla's Project Finance Group, where he managed one of the largest environmental commodities portfolios. He originated REC trades and co-developed a monetization and hedging strategy with senior leadership to enter the East Coast market.   As Vice President at Vanguard Energy Partners, Benoy crafted project finance solutions for commercial-scale solar portfolios. His role at Ridgewood Renewable Power, a private equity fund with 125 MWs of U.S. renewable assets, involved evaluating investment opportunities and maximizing returns. He also played a key role in the sale of the firm's renewable portfolio. Earlier in his career, Benoy worked in Energy Structured Finance at Deloitte & Touche and Financial Advisory Services at Ernst & Young, following an internship on the trading floor at D.E. Shaw & Co., a multi billion dollar hedge fund. Benoy holds an MBA in Finance from Rutgers University and a BS in Finance and Economics from NYU Stern, where he was an Alumni Scholar.   Guest Information Iñigo Rengifo Melia Iñigo Rengifo Melia is the co-founder and CEO of Concentro and Folio, two companies transforming how clean energy projects are financed and managed.  An electromechanical engineer by training with a strong background in energy, Inigo began his career as the first employee at a startup studio, where he was part of the founding team of two early-stage companies. He then joined McKinsey as a management consultant, specializing in energy  including a nearly 10-month engagement helping one of Spain's largest utilities build and launch a distributed generation platform.  Inigo went on to earn his MBA from Harvard Business School, where he met his co-founder Tao.  Concentro is a hands-on tax credit transferability platform focused primarily on distributed generation, managing the entire process from diligence to transaction management to legal documentation. The firm works with both sellers (IPPs, developers, sponsors) and buyers (corporations seeking vetted tax credits).  Folio, spun out from Concentro's internal tooling, is an AI-powered diligence and project finance platform that helps clean energy teams process documentation faster, maintain precision, and manage the full lifecycle from financing preparation through asset management.   Stay Connected: Benoy Thanjan Email: info@reneuenergy.com  LinkedIn: Benoy Thanjan Website: https://www.reneuenergy.com Website: https://www.solarmaverickpodcast.com/   Iñigo Rengifo Melia Folio Website: getfolio.io Concentro Website: concentro.io Email (Folio): inigo@getfolio.io Email (Concentro): inigo@concentro.io  LinkedIn: Iñigo Rengifo Melia — Concentro   Solar Maverick listeners can request a free two-month trial of Folio — mention Solar Maverick when reaching out.

Marilyn is an attorney, CPA, and president of the Bill and Helen Crowder Foundation, the private foundation whose generosity helped build The Rose's podcast studio. She has been a Rose patient since the late 1970s, when she came in for her very first mammogram after moving to Houston. Decades later, she found herself in a very different role, as a Stage III HER2 positive breast cancer patient. Her advice is simple and direct: check yourself between mammograms, get second opinions, take care of yourself first, and know that The Rose and organizations like it exist so that every woman, insured or not, has a path to care. Support The Rose HERE. Subscribe to Let’s Talk About Your Breasts on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, and wherever you get your podcasts. Key Questions Answered 1. How can a woman with a clean mammogram and ultrasound develop stage three breast cancer within eight months? 2. What does HER2 positive breast cancer mean and how does it affect treatment options? 3. What does a full 18-month breast cancer treatment plan look like, from the Red Devil through post-op chemo? 4. What are the visible side effects of aggressive chemo, including hair, nail, and eyebrow loss, and how do women manage them while working? 5. How did Marilyn continue working through 18 months of treatment and what did that decision do for her mentally? 6. What is the cold cap and why do some patients choose not to use it? 7. What are the stakes of declining post-op treatment, and how should a woman weigh a 45 percent recurrence risk? 8. How does a very private, high-achieving career woman learn to accept help, say no, and make herself the priority? 9. What role does the Bill and Helen Crowder Foundation play in supporting The Rose's mission, including the podcast studio? 10. How does self-exam between annual mammograms save lives, and why does Marilyn emphasize it so strongly? 11. What practical advice does Marilyn offer to women facing a breast cancer diagnosis for the first time? Timestamped Overview 00:00 Dorothy introduces Marilyn Sims: attorney, CPA, president of the Bill and Helen Crowder Foundation, and the donor behind the podcast studio. She previews Marilyn's stage three HER2 positive diagnosis, 18 months of treatment, and her evolution from private person to open advocate. 00:52 Dorothy describes Marilyn's treatment arc and the shift in her willingness to talk publicly. Episode CTA delivered. 01:49 Dorothy welcomes Marilyn on air and thanks the Crowder Foundation for the studio gift. 02:22 Marilyn gives the history of the Bill and Helen Crowder Foundation: established in 1998 under Bill's will, started with $3.5 million, has given away $6 million over 28 years, and still has millions remaining. 03:36 Marilyn explains Bill's passion for children's charities throughout his life, how the foundation was structured to give in perpetuity, and why Helen carried on that mission after his passing. 04:46 Marilyn explains why The Rose, while not a children's charity, fit the foundation's values. Children are affected by breast cancer, and the studio would carry Bill and Helen's legacy forward. 05:36 Dorothy reflects on the studio's impact, including young mothers sharing stories that reach other young women who don't know they could be at risk. 06:25 Marilyn shares that she first came to The Rose for her very first mammogram after moving to Houston in the late 1970s. 06:55 Dorothy asks about Marilyn's background. Marilyn traces her path from a small town to Pasadena, through night school, a business associate's degree at San Jacinto College, an accounting degree at UH Clear Lake, and ultimately to the University of Houston Law Center. 08:30 Marilyn explains how she chose estate planning over bankruptcy and litigation, combining her CPA credentials with her law degree at Ernst and Young before joining her current firm in 1993. 10:43 Dorothy moves to Marilyn's breast cancer story. Marilyn says she was shocked. She ate right, exercised, had no family history, and never anticipated a diagnosis. 11:24 Marilyn describes her screening history: annual mammograms, ultrasounds in recent years, and a clean scan in October 2023. 11:47 In August 2024, she felt a lump just before Labor Day. She made an appointment immediately. On September 13, 2024, she received her confirmed diagnosis. 12:47 Dorothy notes the cancer was particularly aggressive. Marilyn explains: HER2 positive, stage three, with lymph node involvement under the arm and in the neck, within eight months of her last clean scan. 13:30 Marilyn describes her treatment sequence: eight aggressive Red Devil chemo infusions every two weeks starting October 2nd, then mastectomy with same-day reconstruction on the right side, then 30 rounds of daily radiation. 14:58 Marilyn describes the post-op decision point. Scans came back clear, but declining the 14 lower-grade post-op chemo treatments carried a 45 percent recurrence risk. She chose to continue. She finished February 15th of this year. 15:50 Dorothy congratulates her. Marilyn reflects on the predictable rhythm of the later treatments: okay on day one, fine on day two, flu-like on day three, and cumulative fatigue over time. 16:56 Marilyn describes how she emailed her fellow shareholders the day she was diagnosed, asked to keep her routine, and worked through the full 18 months. Her colleagues' support gave her stamina and purpose. 18:00 Dorothy asks how many organizations Marilyn stays active in. Marilyn says staying busy and giving back, particularly to young women and girls, kept her mind off how serious things were. 18:55 Marilyn shares that she has no biological children but has long mentored young women. Her motivation for philanthropy is giving others the opportunity and role models she had access to. 19:35 Dorothy asks about Marilyn's support system. Marilyn credits her husband, who attended every single treatment, sometimes napping in the chair beside her, and her fully supportive office colleagues. 20:37 Marilyn describes the physical side effects of the Red Devil: hair loss, eyebrow and eyelash loss, fingernail and toenail loss, and varying neuropathy. She notes no two patients react the same way. 21:43 Marilyn explains the cold cap option, its time commitment of five to seven hours per treatment session, and the lack of guarantees. She chose wigs instead. 22:29 Dorothy notes that Marilyn's wig was convincing throughout treatment. Marilyn explains she had a custom wig made to match her hair before it fell out, then transitioned out of the wig after 18 months. Her hair grew back curly for the first time in her life. 23:41 Marilyn acknowledges the ongoing anxiety about recurrence and scans. She manages it with a deliberately positive mindset and a carry bag someone gave her early in treatment that reads "You Got This." 24:23 Marilyn describes how talking with other patients, even those with different symptoms and reactions, helped relieve anxiety and provided perspective. 24:59 Dorothy notes that Marilyn was once extremely private. Marilyn reflects on how treatment gradually opened her up, partly because of the sheer volume of medical appointments and people involved in her care. 26:41 Dorothy recalls watching the shift happen in real time. Marilyn explains the difference between being at the beginning of the tunnel versus the end, and how the inability to plan ahead was one of the hardest parts of treatment. 28:08 Dorothy observes that treatment forced Marilyn to stop being Superwoman. Marilyn agrees and names the lesson directly: career women push themselves to be everything to everyone, but you have to make yourself the priority first. 29:34 Dorothy asks if Marilyn sees herself as stronger now. Marilyn says not stronger exactly, but with a clearer sense of priorities, especially the importance of time and quality over constant activity. 30:09 Marilyn delivers her most direct advice: check yourself between mammograms. A year is a long time, and her cancer went from undetectable to stage three in eight months. 30:55 Marilyn advises listeners to explore all treatment options, get second opinions, and be clear with their care team about whether the goal is cure or minimal intervention. 32:20 Marilyn reflects on her insurance advantage and acknowledges how many women raising families and working jobs do not have the same options. She names The Rose's mobile units and reach across Texas as a critical resource. 33:04 Dorothy thanks Marilyn for the foundation's support and for coming on the show. Marilyn expresses genuine relief at being finished with treatment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the RIA Edge Podcast, host David Armstrong speaks with Andrea Broughton, CEO and founder of WealthCrossing, about the firm’s growth from an Ernst & Young spinout to a $1.5 billion RIA. Andrea shares how the firm grew through client referrals, built tax planning into its client experience, and recently expanded its growth strategy through branding and digital marketing. The conversation explores WealthCrossing’s approach to financial planning and tax strategy, its recent rebrand, talent development, growth initiatives, estate planning and its evaluation of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, while maintaining a strong focus on client service. Key takeaways: How WealthCrossing spun out of Ernst & Young 21 years ago in response to Sarbanes-Oxley regulations, and grew to $1.5 billion in assets without relying on acquisitions. How the firm’s tax-centric approach to financial planning plays out in its hiring decisions and its team-based approach to each client. What drove the firm's decision to outsource tax preparation eight years ago, and then bring it back in-house five years later.  Why after operating for 19 years without one, WealthCrossing partnered with a marketing firm, rebranded as “SBK Financial” and created a surprisingly high percentage of new client leads through digital channels. Why Broughton and her team are taking a more cautious stance than many peers regarding AI integration into their technology stack, even while she personally uses AI tools for administrative tasks and individual productivity.

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée en public à l'École alsacienne le 7 juin 2026.Avec cette semaine :Nicolas Baverez, essayiste et avocat.Jean-Louis Bourlanges, essayiste, ancien président de la Commission des Affaires étrangères de l'Assemblée nationale.Antoine Foucher, président de la société de conseil Quintet, spécialiste des questions sociales.Lucile Schmid, présidente de La Fabrique écologique et membre du comité de rédaction de la revue Esprit.CHOSE FRANCE OU LOSE FRANCE ?La 9e édition du salon Choose France, sorte de sommet économique qui doit mettre en lumière la capacité du pays d'attirer des projets internationaux, a réuni plus de 200 patrons et investisseurs étrangers au château de Versailles. Cette année l'événement a permis d'annoncer 93 milliards d'euros d'investissements - soit plus que les huit éditions précédentes réunies – au travers de 71 projets, représentant quelque 15.600 emplois.Le géant japonais des investissements dans la tech a promis d'investir jusqu'à 75 milliards d'euros en France, dont 45 milliards pour la construction de trois centres de données dans les Hauts-de-France d'ici à 2031. La disponibilité d'une électricité abondante, stable et décarbonée, grâce au parc de centrales nucléaires d'EDF, a convaincu SoftBank de choisir l'Hexagone.La procédure accélérée dite « fast track » lancée en mai 2025 par RTE, l'opérateur du réseau de transport d'électricité, a également joué. Elle a permis d'identifier huit sites adaptés aux centres de données de plus de 400 mégawatts (MW) et raccordables au réseau plus rapidement qu'avec une procédure classique. Autre mesure pour attirer plus de centres de données : la loi de simplification de la vie économique du 27 mai 2026 leur permet de bénéficier de la qualité de « projet d'intérêt national majeur » qui emporte plusieurs avantages comme la priorisation du raccordement au réseau d'électricité et la simplification des consultations du public. En revanche, la loi prévoit que le permis de construire pourra être refusé en cas de « tensions structurelles sur la ressource en eau », élément dont les centres de données sont extrêmement gourmands. Une attention particulière a aussi été accordée avec succès aux établissements financiers à la recherche d'une terre d'asile dans l'Union européenne après le Brexit : chaque année depuis 2019, le baromètre Ernst et Young (EY) place la France en tête du classement des pays européens les plus attractifs.Toutefois, certains entrepreneurs français ont fini par se lasser de Choose France. Ils auraient souhaité que l'attention accordée avec constance aux groupes étrangers susceptibles d'investir chez nous soit la même pour eux. En novembre dernier, l'Élysée a organisé le premier « Choose France - Édition France » pour mettre à l'honneur les entreprises tricolores qui, elles aussi, choisissent d'investir en France. Elles ont eu droit de se réunir… à la Maison de la Chimie.IA : L'EUROPE PEUT-ELLE NE PLUS DÉPENDRE DES USA ?La Commission européenne a dévoilé mercredi un grand plan pour la « souveraineté technologique », au risque de déclencher un nouveau bras de fer avec les Etats-Unis de Donald Trump. Pour son projet de « reconquérir sa place dans la course mondiale à la puissance géoéconomique », l'UE s'inquiète tout particulièrement de sa dépendance aux géants américains des services informatiques à distance ou « cloud ». Amazon, Microsoft et Google contrôlent 70% du marché européen. Or les services numériques reposant sur des fournisseurs américains, notamment dans la défense, mais aussi la santé pourraient être désactivés via un mécanisme d'arrêt d'urgence (ou « kill switch » en anglais), en cas de crise ouverte avec l'administration Trump.Le plan présenté par la Commission concentre les investissements sur les maillons jugés critiques : la production de semi-conducteurs, le développement de capacités européennes en intelligence artificielle, le stockage et le traitement des données, ainsi que la sécurisation des infrastructures numériques. Les entreprises de l'IA et du cloud pourraient être tenues de fournir des garanties pour décrocher des contrats publics. Pour renforcer la sécurité des données européennes dans certains secteurs critiques, comme la défense, la Commission va exiger que leur stockage ait lieu dans des centres de données appartenant à des fournisseurs européens. Pour combler le retard européen en matière de stockage des données, l'exécutif bruxellois prévoit de tripler les capacités installées au cours des cinq à sept prochaines années, afin d'atteindre 60 gigawatts, contre 12 aujourd'hui. Un investissement estimé à quelque 200 milliards d'euros, incombant essentiellement au secteur privé. Pour optimiser le stockage, une mutualisation des capacités entre États membres est également envisagée sous le label EuroCloud.Sur le volet IA, le texte cible trois domaines prioritaires : la robotique, les applications industrielles et la course aux grands modèles génératifs, celle où s'affrontent ChatGPT, Gemini et leurs rivaux. L'ambition affichée : créer « l'équivalent d'un CERN pour l'IA », un grand programme qui réunirait les meilleurs chercheurs européens autour des machines les plus puissantes, à l'image de ce que le laboratoire de physique de Genève a représenté pour la recherche nucléaire.Ces propositions vont maintenant être débattues au Conseil de l'Europe et au Parlement, avant de revenir d'ici un an vers les Etats membres.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

Welcome to Episode 51 of Murder & Mayhem: South African True Crime. About this episode: In May 2026, a retired couple entered the Kruger National Park to celebrate a birthday.

Ausgerechnet als französischer Kriminalinspekteur trat Karl Obermayr 1967 ins TV-Rampenlicht. Sein Biograph Roland Ernst beschreibt den bajuwarischen Mimen diesmal als Pendler zwischen den Welten.

In this episode of the Solar Maverick Podcast, Benoy Thanjan speaks with Russell Laplante, Chief Financial Officer of Convergent Energy and Power, one of the leading battery storage developers and operators in the United States. Russ shares his nearly two-decade journey in renewable energy from his Goldman Sachs training program to becoming the first employee at wind startup Own Energy in 2007, through utility-scale solar at Tradewind Energy and Savion, and now leading the financial strategy at Convergent's distributed and utility-scale battery storage platform. The conversation covers Convergent's business model working with commercial and industrial customers on behind-the-meter battery and solar-plus-storage projects, how they save C&I customers up to 40% on their energy bills, and how batteries help utilities defer costly transmission and distribution upgrades. The episode dives deep into the financing of battery storage, including tax equity, portfolio debt financing, partnership flip structures, and why distributed generation requires a fundamentally different capital strategy than utility-scale projects. Russ also shares his perspective on the massive opportunity around data centers, AI-driven load growth, speed to grid, the Big Beautiful Bill, ITC extension for storage, and what Foreign Entity of Concern(“FEOC”) compliance means for the battery supply chain. Biographies Benoy Thanjan Benoy Thanjan is the Founder and CEO of Reneu Energy, solar developer and consulting firm, and a strategic advisor to multiple cleantech startups. Over his career, Benoy has developed over 100 MWs of solar projects across the U.S., helped launch the first residential solar tax equity funds at Tesla, and brokered $50 million in Renewable Energy Credits (“REC”) transactions. Prior to founding Reneu Energy, Benoy was the Environmental Commodities Trader in Tesla's Project Finance Group, where he managed one of the largest environmental commodities portfolios. He originated REC trades and co-developed a monetization and hedging strategy with senior leadership to enter the East Coast market. As Vice President at Vanguard Energy Partners, Benoy crafted project finance solutions for commercial-scale solar portfolios. His role at Ridgewood Renewable Power, a private equity fund with 125 MWs of U.S. renewable assets, involved evaluating investment opportunities and maximizing returns. He also played a key role in the sale of the firm's renewable portfolio. Earlier in his career, Benoy worked in Energy Structured Finance at Deloitte & Touche and Financial Advisory Services at Ernst & Young, following an internship on the trading floor at D.E. Shaw & Co., a multi billion dollar hedge fund. Benoy holds an MBA in Finance from Rutgers University and a BS in Finance and Economics from NYU Stern, where he was an Alumni Scholar.   Guest Information Russell Laplante Russell Laplante is the Chief Financial Officer of Convergent Energy and Power, one of the leading battery storage developers and operators in the United States, with over $1 billion deployed and 800 megawatts of projects operational, under construction, or in development. Russ has nearly two decades of experience in renewable energy. He began his career at Goldman Sachs before joining Own Energy in 2007 as its first employee, where he worked hands-on in utility-scale wind development across Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. He later joined Tradewind Energy in an origination role before leading M&A for the solar platform that eventually became Savion. After Shell acquired Savion in 2021, Russ served as Chief Investment Officer before joining Convergent in 2025 as CFO.

Aus diesem Anlass haben wir mit Sänger Maurice Ernst gesprochen, der, wie vor jeder Veröffentlichung, angenehm nervös und voll Vorfreude ist, was dazu gehört, erzählte er. Ein Release darf - auch nach 20 Jahren Bandgeschichte - nie egal werden, so der Musiker. Wie sich der neue Song anhört, wie er entstanden ist, über ihr Erfolgsrezept, über Songs mit deutschen Texten, über all das haben wir uns mit Maurice Ernst ganz ausführlich unterhalten.

The conversation features Abby Hopper, Noelle Paige, Yejdie Olutosin, Addie Momyer, and Erin Greeson, who share how the Solar Sisters came together, why women's leadership matters in clean energy, and how solar and battery storage can create life-changing impact for communities facing energy insecurity. The group discusses their experience visiting La Casa de Bondad, a domestic violence shelter in Puerto Rico supported by Let's Share the Sun, and participating in a residential solar installation for a homeowner who relies on reliable electricity for medical needs.  The episode also touches on the challenges facing Puerto Rico's grid, the role of solar and storage in energy resilience, the ongoing work of Let's Share the Sun to bring energy access to underserved communities, and a fundraiser Benoy is organizing on June 4th in Jersey City to support that mission.   Biographies Benoy Thanjan Benoy Thanjan is the Founder and CEO of Reneu Energy, solar plus storage developer and consulting firm, and a strategic advisor to multiple cleantech startups.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Michael Herrmann, President and Founder of Tour Connect AI. Michael shares how operating a bike rental company in Sydney, Australia, led him to develop a technology to help DMCs become more efficient. You'll hear why Michael believes AI won't replace the human touch in tourism, it will amplify creativity, improve collaboration, and drastically improve efficiency. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Michael transitioned from a technology consultant to founding a bike tour company in Australia, then creating Tour Connect AI Why understanding regional differences and customer behaviors is critical when adapting across global tourism markets How using AI allows tour operators to focus more on human-centric tasks, such as building relationships Why rapid response to itinerary requests significantly increases booking conversion rates How AI-driven collaboration supports efficiency and customer experience How Tour Connect uses AI integration to build better customization Why AI in tourism is set to democratize advanced technology for organizations of all sizes From Hands-On to Digital Solutions Michael began his career as a technology consultant with Ernst and Young, but a leap to starting a bicycle tour company in Sydney, Australia, opened his eyes to the complexities of tourism operations. His American roots and European business model faced unique challenges in the Australian market, though travelers stayed longer and booking patterns were drastically different. This experience exposed Michael to the inefficiencies in the travel industry, especially for DMCs and inbound tour operators who juggle thousands of suppliers and use outdated processes. These operational bottlenecks, combined with the travel industry's dependence on static annual contracts, paper forms, and institutional knowledge, inspired Michael to found Tour Connect, which aims to streamline collaboration through technology and, eventually, AI. Breaking Down AI-Powered Itinerary Building The industry conversation about AI usually focuses on generic tools like ChatGPT. Michael stresses that genuine transformation only comes from integrating AI into the actual business environment. Tour Connect's approach uses a company's real supplier contracts, negotiated rates, and established relationships. By tapping into existing booking systems, AI can pull all necessary information—dates, guest counts, preferences, allergies—and compose an accurate, bookable itinerary with remarkable speed and consistency. Collaboration and Speed Speed isn't just a matter of convenience, it's a key driver of conversion. Failing to respond to a group itinerary request within 24 hours can result in a devastating 40% drop in the likelihood of booking. With travelers often sending concurrent requests to operators in various destinations, it's the fastest, most polished reply that captures their imagination first, building anticipation and attachment to a particular place. AI-powered workflow automation enables faster supplier confirmations, quote turnarounds, and itinerary delivery, helping teams to focus on relationship-building rather than firefighting.

In this episode, we're venturing into the life and thought of Ernst Cassirer, the last humanist of the Enlightenment tradition. Cassirer is widely known today for his debate with Heidegger at Davos, in which Cassirer appeared as the old style philosopher against the new world signified by Heidegger's radical existentialism. And yet, the very fact that this debate was taking as symbolic of the broader trends in philosophy is in some sense a vindication of Cassirer, who believed that mankind was properly undertsood as animale symbolicum: the animal who symbolizes. Thinking in the Neo-Kantian tradition, Cassirer doesn't seem the symbolic world as approximating a "ready-made" world of objects, but as the conceptual organ for experiencing and thinking about the world at all. From this framework, Cassirer advances a remarkable notion: that language and myth are two shoots from the same stem, and if we want to understand language, we should look to the phases of mythic thinking. The central mystery we shall explore is how the "metaphorical transference" can take place, in which a sound comes to stand for an image, and the specific for the general category. At the root of all this, Cassirer raises an intriguing possibility: perhaps all of language originates in magical thinking and spiritual excitement.

Episode Summary In this special episode of Solar Maverick Podcast, Benoy Thanjan sits down with Russell LaPlante, Flavia Cabral, and Stephen Jordan to reflect on the November 2025 Puerto Rico delegation with Let's Share the Sun. The group reflects on their time in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico, where they helped install solar and storage systems, spent time with beneficiary families, and saw firsthand why energy resilience can be life-changing.  The episode also touches on the importance of energy independence, the challenges facing Puerto Rico's grid, the role of solar and storage in building resilience, and why service-based experiences can create deeper relationships than traditional networking or industry events.

Advisors spend years earning credentials and almost no time showing people who they actually are. Wade Shields thinks that is the whole problem. Wade came to Elite Consulting Partners after ten years in New York City making documentary and branded content for Google, Ernst and Young and the American Cancer Society. The process he used there and the one he uses now starts the same way: figure out what the real story is before you make anything. He calls it brand forensics and it is the foundation every advisor skips. The first half of the episode is about what average advisor marketing actually looks like and why it is not working. Market updates getting two likes. Broker-dealer content no one asked for. A wall of certifications that tells someone where your niche is but nothing about who you are. Wade lays out why 96% of prospects are doing their own research before making contact and what happens to referrals when what they find looks exactly like what everyone else is putting out. The question Brian puts on the table is worth sitting with: it is not just how many referrals you are getting, it is how many referrals quietly walked away. The second half gets practical. Video outperforms every other content format seven to one and the barrier has nothing to do with equipment. When advisors sit down to record alone they focus on themselves and the result is stiff, flat content that misses the mark. Wade uses an interview approach on every production day to replicate the natural conversation an advisor already has with clients. The story of the teleprompter client is the best illustration: scripted and polished, no emotion, went nowhere. Unscripted and honest, clients are still quoting it back. The episode closes on the definition that ties everything together. Your brand is not about you. It is about how people feel when they work with you. Marketing is the assets built from that and where they go. And none of it works unless an advisor is willing to stand for something and put it out into the world. That is what Wade means when he says marketing is being brave.   Questions answered in this episode include: Why are advisors who post credentials and market updates getting two likes and no calls? What is brand forensics and why does it have to happen before anything else gets made? Why do 96% of prospects research an advisor online before they ever reach out? How does video outperform every other content format seven to one? Why do advisors freeze up in front of a camera when they are perfectly comfortable in a client meeting? What happened when a client showed up to a production day with a teleprompter and what changed when the script went away? What is the real difference between branding and marketing and which one has to come first?   Chapters: 00:00:52 — Introduction: Wade Shields and What Brand Forensics Actually Means 00:03:53 — What the Average Advisor Gets Wrong About Marketing 00:08:08 — The Referrals You Never Knew You Were Losing 00:08:57 — Why Video Outperforms Every Other Format 7 to 1 00:13:50 — Getting Advisors Out of Their Heads: The Interview Approach 00:17:56 — When Perfect Kills Good: The Unscripted Content Story 00:28:44 — Branding vs Marketing and the Final Takeaway   Learn more about Elite and our resources: Elite Consulting Partners | Financial Advisor Transitions https://eliteconsultingpartners.com Elite Marketing Concepts | Marketing Services for Financial Advisors https://elitemarketingconcepts.com Elite Advisor Successions | Advisor Mergers and Acquisitions https://eliteadvisorsuccessions.com JEDI Database Solutions | Technology Solutions for Advisors https://jedidatabasesolutions.com Elite Wealth Management Insights Report https://eliteconsultingpartners.com/insight-report Listen to more Advisor Talk episodes https://eliteconsultingpartners.com/podcasts/

What's the bigger blind spot for most brands' digital experience: knowing that a customer is struggling, or understanding why and being able to help them in that exact moment? Agility requires not just identifying customer friction quickly, but having the tools to resolve it in the moment.
