What happens if you took one of the classic characters of Chinese literary fiction and dropped him into early 20th-century China? That's the premise of Wu Jianren's novel, New Story of the Stone (Columbia UP, 2025), written in 1905, which takes Jia Baoyu, from the classic Dream of the Red Chamber, and takes him first to Qing China and the Boxer Rebellion, and then to the fantastical “Realm of Civilization,” a world that, in Wu's eyes, reflected what he thought would happen if people embraced Chinese beliefs. Liz Webber just released a new translation on New Story of the Stone, and joins us today to talk about this piece of literary fanfiction, and what political points Wu wanted to achieve by writing his work of early Chinese science fiction. Liz Evans Weber is currently an assistant professor of instruction in Chinese and research assistant professor at the University of Rochester in New York, where she teaches a wide range of courses on Chinese literature and a workshop course on Chinese-to-English literary translation. Her published translations also include the short story “Boundless Night” by Yu Dafu (Renditions, Spring 2021) In 2025, she was awarded a Translation Fellowship by the National Endowment for the Arts for work on her next translation project, Flower in a Sea of Resentment by Jin Songcen and Zeng Pu.

There were a few clues that gave us pause: 47D, Attaches, ADDSON (not ADHERES, which, among other problems, would not fit); 43D, Georgia politico Stacey _______, ABRAMS, eventually came to mind (she has definitely not been prominent in the news as of late); and we were especially surprised by 42A, Flower symbolizing early love, LILAC.

Luke earned his degree majoring in Ornamental Horticulture and a minor in Business from the University of Wisconsin - Platteville. After working in the commercial nursery trade for several years, Luke landed his current position as Conservation Seed Program Manager at Citizens for Conservation, an organization that he started volunteering at in 2004 and became part of the organization's staff in 2018 where he continues CFC's mission of restoring and educating others about the ecosystems of the Chicago area. Collaborating with Lake County Forest Preserves, Luke was able to use their greenhouse to propagate rare native plants and learn from germination trials the best practices to use to reintroduce them into the wild in preserved plant communities. Luke loves to share what he has learned in plant propagation with others through his Instagram page, and had had opportunities to speak at the Wild Things Conference in Chicago, teach native plant propagation classes at The Morton Arboretum, and speak at a TEDx event and posts on the Grassland Restoration Network blog.

Every month, I sit down with my friend and collaborator, Jen Risley, editor of Main Street Journal, for a live conversation about what's working—and what's next—in local investing and impact crowdfunding. These sessions keep me humble and energized. There's simply more high-impact work happening than any one newsletter can cover, even when we publish more than once a day, and I'm grateful Jen brings her readers into this ongoing, practical conversation about building community wealth.This month's livestream circled three powerful themes:* How one statewide “buy local” champion became a policy and procurement force* Why small wind—done right—could be a missing piece in local clean-energy finance* What rural communities keep teaching us about ownership, scale, and “fair exchange” between local economiesBelow I've stitched together the ideas in the most useful order I know: start with place, organize around ownership, and finance work that has a credible path to cash flow and measurable community benefit.Scaling Local: The Kimber Lanning/Local First Arizona PlaybookIf you want a concrete picture of what “going local” looks like at scale, study Local First Arizona and its leader, Kimber Lanning. In our discussion, I highlighted the organization's growth to 65 staff and 2,500 paying members, and the way that capacity translates into actual power: influencing city procurement, training and mentoring entrepreneurs, and generally changing the rules of the game for locally owned businesses. That's not a marketing campaign—that's economic development.From an investor's standpoint, the lesson is straightforward: ecosystem capacity multiplies enterprise capacity. When cities rethink procurement, local firms land contracts. When founders get hands-on mentoring and peer accountability, they grow steadier revenue and become stronger candidates for Reg CF and community note offerings. This is the flywheel we want: policy → pipeline → performance.A second takeaway is strategic humility. Not every community can—or should—copy and paste Arizona's structure. Jen noted that the old “build a nonprofit business alliance” model was financially unsustainable in her small New Hampshire region, even though it succeeded in places like Phoenix. The right structure is local by definition. The goal is to right-size the vehicle so it can actually deliver value where you live.Action moves for builders and funders:* Map the procurement levers you can move in the next 12 months (city, county, anchor institutions).* Stand up a founder services sprint (8–12 weeks) that teaches 5–10 local firms exactly how to win those contracts.* Pre-vet 2–3 entrepreneurs from that sprint for a Reg CF raise; pair with a local “buy from” campaign timed to their working-capital needs.Small Wind, Big Idea: Cluster Effects & Localized Clean EnergyJen brought a fresh perspective from my recent conversation with Dr. Daniel Farb of Flower Turbines. The concept that grabbed both of us: smaller wind turbines can improve each other's performance when thoughtfully clustered—a “1+1>2” effect we don't see with utility-scale wind. That's a meaningful design distinction with financing implications.Why does this matter? Because distributed wind complements rooftop solar in the two places where solar is weakest: at night and on cloudy days. That can reduce storage requirements—still costly and, in many chemistries, environmentally fraught. If we can meet more load in real time with a mixed portfolio (solar + small wind), we make community microgrids both cleaner and cheaper.I also love the place-based finance angle. Flower Turbines' current posture prioritizes local projects; if momentum builds, I expect a pattern we've seen with solar developers: batching geographically defined projects and raising for the bundle—streamlining diligence while preserving neighborhood-level benefits. That's an ideal use case for impact notes and project-level Reg CF offerings with transparent revenue models (PPAs, leases, host-site savings shares).Rural Reality Check: The Tupelo Model, Ownership, and Fair ExchangeJen noted that her most-engaged post since we last met focused on rural communities going local—drawing on Michael Shuman's reminder from the Tupelo model that without local ownership, “economic development” is often just transfer pricing on a map. If a town wins by luring a company from a neighbor, the region doesn't grow; it just rearranges. Ownership, not attraction, is the engine.This is where “impact crowdfunding” shines: it converts resident savings into resident equity and debt, keeping profits and control close to the people who live with the outcomes. Jen's point lands because we still see candidates insisting the path forward is subsidizing outside firms to relocate—a habit that costs money and often steals jobs from another community rather than creating new value. There is another way.We also revisited a beautiful nuance from the days of BALLE (Business Alliance for Local Living Economies): “fair exchange between local economies.” Being pro-local isn't isolationism. It's a commitment to buy locally first, then buy from another community's local businesses when yours doesn't produce the thing you need. That ethic builds inter-local solidarity instead of a zero-sum nationalism. It's an attitude I'd love to see embedded in every regional procurement policy.What We're Building Together: Access + VIP DepthA quick update on SuperCrowd25: yes, there were a couple small glitches, but the event delivered—eighteen hours of programming, every minute available free on the Superpowers for Good site. It's embedded in a YouTube player, so you can speed it up, skip ahead, and go straight to highlights like Michael Shuman's talk or Jen's session. We're also cutting individual clips and—because the SuperCrowdLA recap was a hit—planning a SuperCrowd25 book.On the membership front, our operating philosophy is simple: publish most content free, then offer VIP depth that pays for the mission. We're averaging 8–9 posts a week, with just one reserved for paying Impact Members. Our monthly webinars are open, and the VIP After-Call—including backstage Q&A with speakers at SuperCrowd25—offers that small-group, one-on-one access many of you value. Non-members can drop in for $25 when something catches your eye. That combo keeps the tent big and the lights on.And because Main Street Journal is one of the most thoughtful voices in our space, I encouraged listeners to become paying subscribers there, too. Much of Jen's most valuable work sits behind her paywall—for good reason. If you care about strengthening your town's economic resilience, it's worth it.How These Threads Weave Together (and Why They Matter to Investors)From where I sit, the three themes of this conversation converge on the same thesis:* Local First Arizona shows how ecosystem capacity (policy + procurement + services) turns into investable, revenue-generating opportunities for founders who live where their customers live.* Flower Turbines demonstrates that design choices (clustered small wind) can change the unit economics of clean energy at the site level—exactly where community investors can understand the business model and monitor outcomes.* The Tupelo model reminds us to finance ownership, not attraction. When residents own productive assets, we create compounding returns—financially and civically.That's impact crowdfunding's sweet spot. We're not speculating on abstractions; we're backing understandable enterprises whose success visibly benefits our place. We ask founders to disclose risks and realities. We accept the discipline of regulated raises. We insist on alignment between mission, model, and metrics.Keep the Conversation GoingYou can watch every minute of SuperCrowd25's programming for free, right now, and go straight to the segments that matter most to your work. We'll keep pulling clips and assembling a book-length recap to make the content easier to use. And we'll keep the tent wide—free content for all, depth for those who want VIP access.If you value this conversation, support both communities: become a paying Impact Member here and a Main Street Journal subscriber there. That's how we keep telling the stories that move capital, change policy, and grow ownership—on Main Street, where the impact shows up.P.S. What did this month's conversation spark for you? Reply with a note about a procurement shift you're chasing, a clean-energy site you're sketching, or a rural “shared services” idea you want to test. We'll fold the best examples into upcoming posts—and, with your permission, into the SuperCrowd25 recap project we're assembling now.

What if I told you that everything you've been taught about spiritual ascension—from the Flower of Life to Archangel Michael—might be a hijacked script?In this solo transmission, Dr. Samuel B. Lee, MD unveils one of the most critical episodes yet: a deep dive into verified timelines, the New Age hijack, and how to re-encrypt your DNA to the base 12 eternal life code. With crystal clarity, he walks listeners through the true origin of spiritual distortion, how channeling systems are energetically siphoning life force, and what it really means to reclaim your direct connection to Source.Dr. Lee shares sacred knowledge sourced directly from the Cloistered Duretura Plates (CDT plates)—pre-Atlantean holographic discs—revealing how religion, science, and spirituality were once unified teachings of eternal life before being co-opted and fragmented. With unapologetic truth, he exposes the mechanics of false light overlays, base 10 coding, and the AI-generated thought forms masquerading as ascended masters.This is not just information—it's transformation. At the end of the episode, Dr. Lee guides a powerful re-encryption meditation, using the Source River Frequencies Prayer of Eternal Sanctification to initiate a reconnection to your 12-strand DNA and dissolve false light codes.Sacred Truths & Lessons from This Episode:• The New Age movement was designed to hijack awakening souls• Metatron's Cube and the Flower of Life are finite, siphoning codes• Sound—not light—is the key to truth and DNA activation• You are the source, the guru, the ascended master—GU are you• The correct Merkaba spin ends your reincarnation cycle• The Source River Frequencies Prayer can literally change your destiny

Episode 107 of Trail Society kicks off with life updates from Keely and Hillary, before diving into listener-submitted news and research. They discuss a BBC story where undercover officers highlighted the prevalence of street harassment, with 94% of local women reporting experiences of catcalling. This transitions into a conversation around exercise during pregnancy, sparked by a listener question about heart rate guidelines. The hosts review current research showing that, for athletes already active, higher intensity exercise can be safe and even beneficial during pregnancy, lowering risks like gestational diabetes and improving newborn Apgar scores. They emphasize that heart rate is an imprecise measure, and individualized approaches are important. The main feature of the episode is an interview with Anne Flower, an ER physician and elite trail runner who recently won and set a new course record at the Leadville 100, her debut 100-mile race. Anne shares how she balances training at a world-class level with her demanding medical career, and how lessons from the ER and ultrarunning inform each other. She reflects on her road-to-trail transition, the highs and lows of Leadville, and her mindset of tackling hard things as practice for resilience. Anne also discusses her role as Chief Medical Officer for Mountains to Mountains, her future racing goals, and offers advice for women entering the sport. The episode closes with listener shoutouts, stories of recovery after long races, training adaptations for different terrains, and heartfelt community support, reinforcing the podcast's commitment to uplifting women in endurance sports.   SPONSORSHIP:  We are so excited to be partnering with rabbit as our primary apparel sponsor this year!

But Flower Turbines, led by CEO and Founder Dr. Daniel Farb, is bringing wind power innovation to urban spaces, making it more accessible and efficient than ever before.At the heart of this transformation is what Daniel calls the “cluster effect” or “bouquet effect.” This patented technology allows small wind turbines to enhance each other's performance when placed together. “Each turbine that you add to a group makes the whole group perform better,” Daniel explained during today's episode. “If you have two turbines, they perform 50 percent better than if you had two separate ones… Four turbines, it's double the amount of power.”This unique capability doesn't just improve efficiency—it makes wind energy viable in more places, from urban rooftops to residential neighborhoods that typically couldn't accommodate traditional large-scale turbines. Daniel's tulip-shaped designs are compact, quiet, and visually appealing, making them a perfect fit for densely populated areas.Flower Turbines is also scaling beyond technology development into project financing. The company recently launched a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign via Honeycomb Credit, raising $250,000 in a single week. The campaign aims to fund larger installations of these turbine clusters, offering investors the opportunity to earn dividends from specific green energy projects. “This is the first time that it's available for wind,” Daniel said, emphasizing the importance of democratizing access to clean energy investment.The urgency of this work is clear. Federal subsidies for renewable energy are set to expire soon, making cost-effective technologies like Flower Turbines' cluster effect essential for the industry's future. “What we're doing is reducing the cost of electricity at the point of use,” Daniel noted, highlighting the practical benefits of deploying turbines where energy is consumed.This innovative approach not only helps Flower Turbines expand its impact but also provides everyday people with a meaningful way to support and profit from the transition to clean energy.If you're interested in learning more about Flower Turbines or investing in this groundbreaking opportunity, visit s4g.biz/flower to explore the details.tl;dr:Flower Turbines' cluster effect technology boosts efficiency, making small wind turbines viable in urban spaces.The company has raised over $17 million and is scaling projects with a crowdfunding campaign.Daniel highlighted the importance of developing technology that works without relying on subsidies.Regulated crowdfunding allows investors to earn dividends from specific green energy projects.Daniel's superpower, persistence, helped him overcome early financial challenges to build Flower Turbines.How to Develop Persistence As a SuperpowerWhen asked about his superpower, Daniel described persistence as his defining quality. “If I believe in something, I'll do it,” he said, reflecting on his commitment to Flower Turbines. He also highlighted the importance of resilience during tough times, sharing that persistence often requires faith. Whether facing financial uncertainty or the challenges of scaling a new technology, Daniel's steadfast belief in his mission has been the cornerstone of his success.Illustrative Story:In the early days of Flower Turbines, Daniel often faced financial uncertainty while growing the company. He recalled authorizing purchases for inventory, not knowing if there would be enough money the following week. Despite these nerve-wracking moments, he relied on faith and persistence to move forward. His ability to endure those challenges enabled him to raise funds, develop over 30 patents, and establish Flower Turbines as a leader in small-scale wind energy.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Cultivate self-discipline through activities that challenge you physically or mentally, such as sports or academics.Set clear goals to maintain focus during challenges.Develop resilience by embracing tough times as opportunities for growth.Practice faith in your vision, even when the path forward is unclear.Learn to balance persistence with flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances.By following Daniel's example and advice, you can make persistence a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileDr. Daniel Farb (he/him):CEO and Founder, Flower TurbinesAbout Flower Turbines: Flower Turbines is an innovative small wind turbine company with the ambition to become a major global force in renewable energy. With over 30 patents, the company has solved the technology and design problems holding small wind back from being as large an industry as solar.
