What's up, everyone! Today we're sharing an episode with Joseph Vellone, the CEO of ChargeScape — a Joint Venture between Ford, Honda, BMW, and Nissan. -----Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube | Pocket Casts-----As the grid continues to buckle under the pressure of ever-increasing demand, it's more important than ever to find ways to manage the existing load. However, it's not all bad. One of the main demand drivers might be the core solution to these demand problems—namely, EVs, when paired with smart charging software. You see, all these EVs are essentially backup batteries. Currently, not all are equipped with bi-directional charging, but most new vehicles hitting the roads are. So, not only can a smart charging software, managed by utilities, alleviate demand on the grid, it can also pull energy from the vehicles when the time is right (again, when the hardware capabilities are present). -----Support our Work with a Paid Subscription-----This fundamentally shifts our perspective on vehicles. Instead of a cost center, it could earn you money by purchasing cheap energy, or charging on solar for free, and selling back to the grid at peak demand times. This is the type of utopian future we work towards — and the best part, it's becoming reality in front of us. Topics **01:35 Revolutionizing EV Charging**05:21 Joseph Vellone's Journey in Renewable Energy**07:47 The Unique Opportunity at ChargeScape**12:00 Transforming the EV Charging Experience**13:30 Make Money w/ Smart Charging**18:04 The Future of EVs + Renewable Energy**20:03 Building a High-Performance Team**23:10 Managing Startup Intensity Without Burnout**25:58 How to Successfully Sell to Utilities**28:50 The Benefits of Having Automakers as Strategic Investors**31:17 The Role of AI in ChargeScape's Strategy**33:44 Understanding EV Industry Backlash**37:59 Resilience of EV Charging Amid Political PushbackLinks**Joseph Vellone | ChargeScape**Connect with Somil on LinkedIn | Support the showIf you're gonna change the world, you're gonna need a world-class team.

In this episode of the Vanderbloemen Leadership Podcast, William Vanderbloemen unpacks one of the most common but overlooked challenges in leadership: invisible lids. These growth limiters—whether personal, organizational, or team-related—often hold leaders back without them even realizing it. Growth lids are often invisible but real. Flexibility fades with time—stay intentional. Time management is a leader's greatest asset. Mediocre hires = long-term team ceiling. Don't settle—anticipate and outgrow your lids. Whether you're just starting out or you're decades into your leadership journey, this episode will help you name the lids that might be holding you back—and how to plan ahead to grow beyond them.

***Guest AppearanceCredits to:https://www.youtube.com/@garretwong   "Startup Funding Explained: Everything You Need to Know"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzU9FmuVRDM In the ever-evolving world of real estate investing, access to capital can make or break a deal. But what happens when traditional funding sources dry up or become too restrictive? This was exactly the dilemma faced by Jay Conner, a seasoned real estate investor in Eastern North Carolina, whose journey and strategies were explored in depth on a recent episode of the “Investing to Win” podcast with Garret Wong.From Banks to Private Money: Jay's Turning PointFor the first six years of his real estate career, Jay relied solely on institutional financing—local banks and traditional money sources to fund his single-family home deals. But as the 2008-2009 financial crisis arrived, Jay, like many investors, found his credit lines abruptly closed by the bank, jeopardizing multiple deals overnight. Instead of throwing in the towel, Jay asked himself a powerful question: Who do I know that can help me with this problem?That introspection led him to Jeff Blankenship, a fellow investor who introduced Jay to the world of private money and self-directed IRAs. This new approach, Jay quickly learned, didn't depend on bank approvals or credit scores but rather on relationships and transparency.What Is Private Money?Private money, as Jay describes, is direct investment from individuals, not institutions or hard money lenders. It's a one-on-one relationship where investors loan funds secured against real estate, often using capital from personal savings or retirement accounts. Unlike hard money brokers who pool funds into lending operations (and charge higher rates and fees), true private lenders work directly with the investor.Jay emphasizes that private lenders come from all walks of life. Most of his 47 active private lenders wouldn't consider themselves sophisticated or accredited; many are teachers, civil servants, and retirees simply seeking better and safer returns on their investments.Key Benefits of Private Money LendingWhy does Jay champion private money with such passion? He lists several compelling advantages:Flexibility and Speed: Without lengthy bank underwriting, deals can often close in as little as five to seven days—sometimes a lifesaver for properties facing foreclosure or competitive bidding.Fewer Restrictions: Private lenders don't cap the number of deals or the size of your line of credit. Jay's deals frequently involve borrowing up to 75% of the after-repaired value (ARV), and it's common for him to leave the closing table with “excess cash to close”—funds above and beyond the purchase price, useful for renovations or reserves.No Appraisals or Red Tape: Instead of formal appraisals, Jay uses comparative market analyses (CMAs) to justify values to his lenders—trusted personal relationships eliminate most bureaucratic hurdles.True Win-Win: Lenders earn higher, predictable returns (Jay typically offers 8% straight, sometimes accruing during a flip or paid out monthly), while investors unlock funding quickly and efficiently.Building Trust and Educating LendersThe cornerstone of Jay's approach isn't just a promising rate—it's education and transparency. He never pitches deals out of desperation or attaches a project to an initial conversation. Instead, he teaches potential lenders about the opportunity, shows them exactly how they'll be protected, and only connects them to a specific deal when it matches what they want.Notably, Jay suggests that new investors leverage the credibility of an experienced partner or mentor when starting.

#12WeeksToPeak #negotiation #SelfImprovement #LifeLessons In this conversation, I sit down with Andres Lares, a negotiation expert, to discuss the intricacies of negotiation, leadership, and sales training. Believe it or not, we get into the importance of goodwill in business relationships. (I always leave a little meat on the bone so my prospects and business partners want to come back to work with me.)As The Sales Whisperer®, of course, we discuss the value of training.As a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, I discuss being adaptable as a key component of a negotiation training program.As an Air Force veteran, we get into the role of leadership in employee retention. (Unfortunately, leadership is sparse in the military, the private sector, schools, churches, HOAs, PTAs, Little League, and everywhere in between...But I digress.)As usual, balance is key in business and in life, so we look at the need for creating a balance between structure and flexibility in sales processes, as well as the significance of self-reflection and feedback for personal growth."The worst-case scenario is not a no."We agree on the philosophy of incremental improvement and the necessity of practice and preparation in negotiation and in life.We also agree on the intricacies of negotiation and the importance of tailored training for effective communication. You must understand the buyer's perspective and maintain integrity in your business: prospecting, selling, and fulfillment roles.As we say in the military, the more you bleed in training, the less you bleed in battle, so we dive into the significance of preparation, emotional intelligence, and the role of negotiation training in building confidence and credibility.Finally, Lares shares insights on the challenges of hiring skilled facilitators and the value of asking the right questions to uncover the truth in negotiations."Nothing convinces like conviction."GUEST INFO:Guest Site: https://www.shapironegotiations.com/resources/books/Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreslares/Guest X: https://x.com/sninegotiationsGuest Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shapiro_negotiations_institute/00:00 Introduction to Negotiation and Leadership02:49 The Power of Nice in Negotiation06:08 Value-Based Negotiation Strategies09:05 The Importance of Training and Adaptability11:59 Balancing Structure and Flexibility in Sales14:55 The Role of Leadership in Employee Retention18:10 Investing in People for Long-Term Success20:56 The Incremental Improvement Philosophy24:04 The Role of Feedback and Self-Reflection27:11 The Importance of Practice and Preparation30:48 The Art of Negotiation and Training39:41 Understanding the Buyer's Perspective42:15 The Importance of Integrity in Sales46:43 Tailored Training for Effective Negotiation53:19 Books and Resources for Negotiation SkillsNot for the mediocre majority: Learn how I get more done in a quarter than most achieve in a decade in 12 Weeks To Peak™ https://wesschaeffer.com/12wConnect with me:X -- https://X.com/saleswhispererInstagram -- https://instagram.com/saleswhispererLinkedIn -- http://www.linkedin.com/in/thesaleswhisperer/#12WeeksToPeak #SalesTraining #GoalSetting #PersonalDevelopment

Conor O Shea is a mobility coach.  He is also the host of the Strong For Life podcast and with over 230k followers on Instagram, he helps people over 30 feel a decade younger whilst moving pain free.  He spent most of his 20s struggling with chronic pain that affected him so badly at times I considered leaving the fitness industry because he was worried, I couldn't do his job anymore.  He left Ireland in 2013 and sought out the best coaches in the world. He learned from the yogis in Mysore and the best callisthenics, mobility and flexibility coaches who were super fit in their 50s and 60s.  He began to understand that his body was riddled with injuries and how to rebuild himself from the ground up. Here are some of the things we talked about in today's show: ·       Five essential movements include squats, ground sitting, and toe touching. ·       Chronic pain can be addressed through consistent mobility practices. ·       Ground sitting is a simple yet effective daily practice. ·       Environmental design can encourage more movement throughout the day. ·       Flexibility training should be strength-focused to avoid injuries. ·       Common complaints include low back, knee, and shoulder issues. ·       Strengthening the back and stretching the front can alleviate many problems. ·       Mobility practices should be integrated into daily routines. ·       Injury management requires working around pain to maintain strength.  Mobility and flexibility are crucial for long-term health. ·       Injury management should prioritise alternatives to surgery. ·       The psychology of injury plays a significant role in recovery. ·       Rebuilding strength after injury is essential for recovery. ·       Pain can be a signal of adaptation, not always harm. ·       Foot health is vital, especially for runners and active individuals. ·       Supportive footwear and foot exercises can help with plantar fasciitis Today's podcast is sponsored by my 1:1 online coaching:  https://briankeanefitness.com/one-to-one-online-coaching   (Website) Personal Trainer for Busy Guys Over 30 - Conor O'Shea   (Facebook) https:// Www.facebook.com/conorosheafit88   (YouTube) Conor O' Shea - YouTube   (Spotify) Strong For Life Blueprint | Podcast on Spotify   (Podcast) The Strong For Life Podcast - Podcast - Apple Podcasts

Hold onto your Mickey ears, folks, because Marq and Beth are taking you on a thrill ride through the latest Disneyland Paris developments, World Premieres (yes, plural) questionable naming choices, and Beth's emotional breakdown over  some shocking attraction news (RIP, old friend).    Here's what to expect:    * Abu Dhabi has joined the chat: Disney's Big Royal Expansion.  There's a whole new world rising in the United Arab Emirates, a Disney Adventure made for and paid by actual Princes and, we assume, princesses. Somewhere in the world where they don't cry over spirit jersey prices. Beth and Marq debate: Is this Bob Iger's final genius move before handing over the keys to the Kingdom?   *Studio One's Grand Reopening: Now with More… Confusing Music? Back in our humble expansion park, Studio One has reopened—but now it's called « World Premiere » (because Disney loves a rebrand). Visitors are loving the glow-up, but the music playlist?  A bit baffling, not that we are hating on John Williams.  Is it Hollywood glam or an overly modern muddle? You decide.    * Hollywood Gardens: Great Vibes, Meh Menu  The atmosphere? Chef's kiss ! The food? The chef is not ready to kiss anybody quite yet. Beth and Marq discuss why this spot nails the aesthetic but fumbles the food variety. This place deserves more than fish burgers and star nuggets. But the dessert do look sweet!   * Disney's Naming Conventions: What's in a wor(l)d?  Park terminology. We've discussed this before, but why does Disney have  to reuse the same three words in every park name? Like, do you need a Premier Access to have a World Premiere Adventure? Send help !   *

It's the most talked-about academic paper this year in the world of energy. Rethinking Load Growth, co-authored by Tyler Norris of Duke University has caused a stir in energy circles because it offers a new perspective on the hottest issue of the moment: how to provide power for new data centers and other large consumers. With new sources of electricity demand growing rapidly – from data centers for AI to battery factories to EV charging networks – grid planners are scrambling to understand how to integrate large new loads without breaking the system or budgets. That is the question for Rethinking Load Growth, and it delivers a startling insight: The US grid could absorb 98 gigawatts of new load, IF those loads can be sufficiently flexible. They would need to be curtailed for just 0.5% of the year, which is about 42 hours in total – not all in one go, but in blocks averaging a couple of hours at a time.That kind of load flexibility could unlock faster, cheaper grid expansion, with big implications for investors, policymakers, and companies racing to develop new data centers and other facilities.Tyler joins the show with host Ed Crooks and regular guest Amy Myers-Jaffe to discuss his research. They debate the questions:Why is his paper is causing so much interest in energy circles, and beyondWhat real-world adoption of flexible load looks like for data centersWhether virtual power plants (VPPs) are the missing pieceAnd how governments and regulators could make or break this opportunitySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Hayley Crane about supporting autistic and ADHD learners in ways that are truly affirming and compassionate. We dive into how visual supports and predictable routines can reduce anxiety, ease transitions, and help kids feel more confident and secure throughout their day. We also explore what to do when power struggles pop up, how to better understand the emotional fatigue that can follow a long day of navigating demands, and the importance of flexibility and connection in our interactions. Hayley and I talk about why it's helpful to reduce verbal demands—like asking fewer questions and making more observations—and how honoring each child's deep interests can boost engagement and build trust. This conversation is packed with real-world strategies for educators and parents, along with gentle reminders to care for yourself as you care for your students or children. It's all about creating supportive, responsive environments where autistic kids can thrive.

Links:  Dr. Hayley Crain's website:  https://www.drhayleycrain.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/drhayleycrain/ Takeaways Power struggles can be minimized by picking battles wisely. Flexibility is crucial in supporting neurodivergent children. Understanding behavior as communication is key to effective support. Using interests can enhance engagement and learning. Transitions can be challenging for neurodivergent children. Visual supports can aid in understanding routines and transitions. Acknowledging a child's protest is important for their communication. Creating a supportive environment can reduce anxiety during transitions. Visual supports can be crucial for helping children transition smoothly. Predictable routines can create a sense of security for kids. An All Done Bucket is a valuable tool for ending activities. Repetition and visual cues are essential for memory retention in children. After school restraint collapse is a common experience for neurodivergent children. Teaching executive functioning skills can start at a young age. Connecting with children can be done without asking questions. Less talking can lead to better engagement with children.    You may also be interested in these supports: Visual Support Starter Set  Visual Supports Facebook Group Autism Little Learners on Instagram Autism Little Learners on Facebook

Barefoot Expo May 16-17 2025This Episode's Show NotesJoin Our Newsletter: Movement Colored GlassesKaty's Virtual Studio - Try it Free for 7 Days!This is the first of two episodes on bone. There is lots of discussion in the media about bone health and in this first episode biomechanist Katy Bowman and biologist Jeannette Loram place bone tissue health into a wider context; what really matters is how well the entire skeleton is working—as a system—to support our bodies and our movement. Katy and Jeannette explain how the status of the bone in different parts of your skeleton is a record of the movement you have—and have not done—in the past. They outline Wolff's law, the idea that bone adapts and changes according to the stress and load it experiences throughout a lifetime. They bring this concept to life using examples from populations with distinct movement and bone loading histories ranging from ancient human archers and farmers, through different sporting populations to astronauts. Books Mentioned:Move Your DNA by Katy BowmanOrbital by Samantha Harvey Rethink Your Position by Katy Bowman Research Mentioned: Neolithic Women, Manual Labour and Bone  Cycling and Bone HealthMultidirectional Sport and Running: bone strength  Made Possible by Our Dynamic Collective of Wonderful Sponsors:Smart Playrooms, design and products to keep you and your kids engaged and active at home, take 10% off monkey bars, rock wall panels and holds with code DNA10; Earth Runners, minimalist sandals that mimic being truly barefoot through their grounding technology, take 10% off with code DNA10;  Peluva, Five-toe minimalist sports shoes ideal for higher impact activities, take 15% off with code NUTRITIOUSMOVEMENT; Ikaria Design, creators of the Soul Seat®, a height adjustable chair that allows you to sit in diverse shapes including cross-legged, take 10% of new inventory with code DNA10; Sweet Skins, beautiful organic hemp and cotton clothing that is stylish, flexible and designed to move with you, take 15% off with code DNA15 and Venn Design, beautiful floor cushions and ball seats that keep you moving at home or at the office; Thoughts/questions email us at podcast@nutritiousmovement.comYour Voice on the Podcast: Read The Credits
