This week on CleanTalk, Film Director-Producer Luke Harmer sits down with James Sterling, Communications and Social Value Manager at Bristol City Leap, to explore how one city is pioneering a socially just energy transition.In this episode, we dive into Bristol City Leap's innovative approach to building a fairer, cleaner energy system — one designed not only to decarbonise but to protect the people who contribute the least to climate change from bearing the greatest cost. James unpacks how their model is creating a replicable blueprint for other regions and cities to follow, while ensuring that community voices remain central to the process.From tackling fuel poverty and embedding social value, to driving investment and inspiring wider systemic change, this conversation highlights what a just transition can look like in practice and why Bristol's story could mark a turning point for the way we think about local energy systems across the UK and beyond.Enjoy!____________________Connect with James on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-sterling-a96169104/Unlock support for decarbonising your home, business or community: https://www.bristolcityleap.co.uk/Join the CleanTalk community on Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/groups/12991627/____________________CleanTalk is produced by Harmer Visuals, a film production company specialising in brand & case study storytelling for organisations across the renewable energy and clean technology sector.

We re-air our earlier show about why first jobs are important, and what some well-known Mainers did for their first jobs

In this episode of Restaurant Owners Uncorked, Wil sits down with Nick Patel, a CPA who left corporate accounting to become a multi-unit franchise restaurant owner before pivoting back into accounting, this time with a focus on helping restaurant operators. Patel shares his personal journey from owning restaurants in Florida, the challenges of partnering with family, and the lessons learned from expanding too quickly. Today, he runs a thriving accounting and advisory practice that specializes in restaurants, helping owners navigate razor-thin margins, complex tax credits, and strategic planning.The conversation spans everything from partnership structures and breakeven analysis, to practical tools like Margin Edge and bill.com, to how strong customer service and “high touch” relationships are becoming rare advantages in business. Both Wil and Nick emphasize the importance of focus, humility, and planning as the foundation for restaurant success.8–10 Key Takeaways Focus Before Scaling – Patel's experience taught him to master one location before attempting rapid multi-unit growth. Confidence without experience can lead to mistakes. Partnerships Require Operating Agreements – Family or friends in business together must clearly define roles and responsibilities upfront to avoid conflict and confusion. Cash Flow Is King – Restaurants should aim for at least six months of fixed costs in reserves when opening to weather delays, early inefficiencies, and training costs. Market Research Matters – Demographics, traffic counts, and competitor sales tracking (even via receipt numbers) are critical before selecting a location. Leverage Tax Credits – Tools like the FICA tip credit and Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) can save restaurants tens of thousands of dollars annually, yet many accountants overlook them. The Value of Niche Expertise – An accountant who has actually owned and run restaurants brings empathy and practical insights that generalist CPAs may lack. Technology Should Enhance, Not Replace Relationships – Tools like Margin Edge, Ramp, and bill.com help manage costs, but true value comes from maintaining high-touch service and communication. Service Excellence Is a Competitive Edge – With customer service expectations so low across industries, simply answering calls and emails promptly can set a business apart. First Jobs in Restaurants Build Lifelong Skills – Both Wil and Nick argue that everyone should work in a restaurant at least once to learn resilience, multitasking, and people skills. Relationships Create Opportunity – Patel turned an “unsuccessful” restaurant experience into a successful CPA firm by maintaining strong relationships and becoming a preferred vendor.

In this powerful episode of Case Studies, Casey Baugh sits down with serial entrepreneur and mental health advocate Tom Telford. Together they explore how early struggles, grit, and mentorship shaped Tom's journey from a self-doubting “problem kid” to a visionary operator and investor.Tom opens up about overcoming learning disabilities, finding refuge in athletics, and redefining himself through hard work and self-awareness. He shares how he navigated life-changing failures, the importance of mentorship, and the mindset shifts that helped him build and exit a company serving over 500 institutional clients.Whether you're battling self-doubt, seeking purpose, or scaling a business, this episode delivers invaluable lessons on resilience, identity, and impact.

Welcome to Episode 283 of the Spun Today podcast—the only podcast anchored in writing, but unlimited in scope. I'm your host, Tony Ortiz, and in this deeply personal and heartfelt episode, I invite you to join me as I honor the memory of my dear friend and Spun Today alumni, Pablo Mosquera Jr., who tragically passed away earlier this year.   This episode is a special re-release of one of my favorite beachside conversations with Pablo, originally recorded on a traditional day off in Coney Island—a ritual we created to escape the grind, share stories, and reflect on life while soaking up the summer sun. It's an episode filled with laughter, nostalgia, and the kind of meaningful storytelling that makes the Spun Today podcast what it is.   Throughout this episode, I touch on everything from cherished friendship catchphrases and cycling marathons, to our first jobs and the profound impact travel can have on creativity and perspective. We reminisce about coming-of-age moments, family reunions, and the small rituals that inspire us.   As you listen, I hope you'll appreciate the raw emotion and candid storytelling as much as I did revisiting it. Whether you're tuning in as a writer looking for inspiration, or as someone seeking comfort in community, this episode is a reminder to cherish every moment, tell your stories, and put pen to paper while you still can.   So pull up a chair (or a spot on the sand), and get ready for an episode that's as much a tribute as it is a celebration of creative living. Rest in peace, Pablo—you are missed, and your story lives on through the words and memories we share.   Let's get into it.   The Spun Today Podcast is a Podcast that is anchored in Writing & Random Rants, but unlimited in scope.  Give it a whirl.    Twitter: https://twitter.com/spuntoday Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spuntoday/ Website: http://www.spuntoday.com/home Newsletter: http://www.spuntoday.com/subscribe   Links referenced in this episode:     Follow Pablo on Twitter: @pabs711 & Instagram: @pabs711   Get your Podcast Started Today! https://signup.libsyn.com/?promo_code=SPUN (Use Promo code SPUN and get up to 2-months of free service!)

This week we positioned our most powerful fan at the rear end of a corpulent bull in hopes of snaring the attention of legendary bullshit fighter, Alex Smith A strategist who's set himself the mountainous task of extracting all the nonsense from business strategy, Alex is very much a breath of a fresh air in a field that can, at its worst, smell a lot like somebody's done a poo… on a dead crab… in the drains of an abandoned laundrette… and then set it on fire. He is the author of a bestselling book on strategy, titled, with Alex's typical disregard for fluff, No Bullshit Strategy. In those pages – and through Alex's wildly popular LinkedIn posts – he makes a compelling case for businesses to look more closely at the decisions they make and wheedle out the ‘anti-strategic' ones that are causing 99% of all pickles. So, in true Alex fashion, we probably could have just said something like ‘he helps businesses get stuff right, more of the time' instead of all that nonsense about the crab and the laundrette. Ah well. This episode is dedicated to Alex's wife who is the engine and foundation underneath everything.  ///// Follow Alex on LinkedIn.

In this episode of The Backstory, host Anne Hancock Toomey sits down with the Global Head of Healthcare for Blackstone, Ram Jagannath, to trace the path that led him from a childhood as a first-generation American to the upper echelons of finance and healthcare investing.
