Jigar Shah served as Director of the Loan Programs Office (LPO) at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) from March 2021 to January 2025, where he oversaw a $400B budget. Prior, Shah was co-founder and President at Generate Capital, where he focused on helping entrepreneurs accelerate decarbonization solutions through the use of low-cost infrastructure-as-a service financing. Generate has raised over $10 billion, investing in 50+ technology and development partnerships with more than 2,000 assets globally.Prior to Generate Capital, Shah founded SunEdison, a company that pioneered “pay as you save” solar financing (i.e., PPAs).After SunEdison, Shah served as the founding CEO of the Carbon War Room, a global non-profit founded by Sir Richard Branson to help entrepreneurs address climate change.--Here are six topics we covered in the podcast:1. Post-LPO ResetAfter managing $107B in deals at DOE's Loan Programs Office, Jigar Shah hit pause and rebranded as a “podcaster.” He's taking time to reflect before diving into the next chapter.2. Climate VC Is BrokenShah says the 100x-return VC model doesn't fit climate tech's reality. He pushes for an “East Coast” model: aim for 18% IRR, win 7 of 10 bets, and skip the moonshots.3. Evergreen Capital > 2-and-20At Generate Capital, Shah turned down big checks to build an evergreen structure that aligns with long-term climate infrastructure. It's less lucrative for managers, but way better for founders.4. FOAK Risk, ExplainedHe breaks project finance into five risks: tech, feedstock, offtake, construction, and ops. LPO, unlike most investors, can stomach execution risk, like 12 methane pyrolysis reactors, not just one.5. Think Like a DeveloperClean tech needs dev capital like real estate: risky early bets, then stable returns once built. It's not “risk-free”—just “risk-you-can-understand.”6. Deep Tech's Fatal FlawToo many founders chase giant, low-margin markets. Shah says to start with high-margin niches (like InventWood selling to data centers) and then scale.--

The city was one of the central and defining features of the world of the Greek and Roman Mediterranean. Challenging the idea that the ancient city 'declined and fell', Andrew Wallace-Hadrill argues that memories of the past enabled cities to adapt and remain relevant in the changing post-Roman world. In the new kingdoms in Italy, France and Spain cities remained a key part of the structure of control, while to contemporary authors, such as Cassiodorus in Ostrogothic Italy, Gregory of Tours in Merovingian Gaul, and Isidore in Visigothic Spain, they remained as crucial as in antiquity. The archaeological evidence of New Cities founded in this period, from Constantinople to Reccopolis in Spain, also shows the deep influence of past models. The Idea of the City in Late Antiquity: A Study in Resilience (Cambridge UP, 2025) reveals the adaptability of cities and the endurance of the Greek and Roman world. Sheds fresh light on one of the most important social and cultural developments in the transition from classical antiquity to the world of the Middle Ages Explores developments through the eyes of contemporary writers and documents as well as the archaeological record Of interest to all those concerned with how cities can adapt in a radically changing world ANDREW WALLACE-HADRILL is Emeritus Professor in the Faculty of Classics at the University of Cambridge and an Emeritus Fellow of Sidney Sussex College.

The city was one of the central and defining features of the world of the Greek and Roman Mediterranean. Challenging the idea that the ancient city 'declined and fell', Andrew Wallace-Hadrill argues that memories of the past enabled cities to adapt and remain relevant in the changing post-Roman world. In the new kingdoms in Italy, France and Spain cities remained a key part of the structure of control, while to contemporary authors, such as Cassiodorus in Ostrogothic Italy, Gregory of Tours in Merovingian Gaul, and Isidore in Visigothic Spain, they remained as crucial as in antiquity. The archaeological evidence of New Cities founded in this period, from Constantinople to Reccopolis in Spain, also shows the deep influence of past models. The Idea of the City in Late Antiquity: A Study in Resilience (Cambridge UP, 2025) reveals the adaptability of cities and the endurance of the Greek and Roman world. Sheds fresh light on one of the most important social and cultural developments in the transition from classical antiquity to the world of the Middle Ages Explores developments through the eyes of contemporary writers and documents as well as the archaeological record Of interest to all those concerned with how cities can adapt in a radically changing world ANDREW WALLACE-HADRILL is Emeritus Professor in the Faculty of Classics at the University of Cambridge and an Emeritus Fellow of Sidney Sussex College. He is a Roman cultural historian and his books include Suetonius: The Scholar and His Caesars (1983), Augustan Rome (1993), Houses and Society in Pompeii and Herculaneum (1994), Rome's Cultural Revolution (Cambridge, 2008) and Herculaneum: Past and Future (2011). Former Director of the British School at Rome, he has directed archaeological projects at Pompeii and Herculaneum. This book is the result of his project on the Impact of the Ancient City, which received funding from the European Research Council.

Send us a textIt is truly hard to believe that we are approaching the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. As many of you are well aware at this point, Pastor Harris, was the pastor of First United Methodist Church, which is situated directly east of the OKC bombing site.  Pastor Harris was at the church that day, and we have shared his story both in audio podcast as well as video on our YouTube channel.  However, in this episode we will hear from Kris Skinner, a cherished family friend and a former employee of First Church that was there meeting with Pastor Harris at the moment the bomb went off on that day that for many has been frozen in time.As a reminder, we have published several OKC Bombing related episodes over the life of this podcast. Four that I will mention specifically. There is episode 50 which features the sermon Pastor Harris delivered April 16th 1995, just three days before the bombing, this would be the last sermon that would be delivered in that 100 year old sanctuary. In episode 51 we hear from Pastor Harris as he tells his story of the day of the bombing. In episode 52 we feature an interview we had with OKC Bombing Survivor, Arlene Blanchard who was in the Murrah Building when the bomb went off. Arlene had attended “Loves & Fishes”, a lunch Bible Study that First Church facilitated and Pastor Harris taught for many years. In this discussion with Arlene, she reveals one word that Pastor Harris taught on that gave her the strength to persevere. And finally, in episode #100 we feature the story of a surprise concert that Rich Mullins himself gifted the people of First United Methodist Church.Support the show

Building & Rebuilding Men: A Discussion on Factors That Help or Hinder Men and Boys Hosted by Pastor Bryan Hudson, D.Min. at New Covenant Church March 8, 2025 Overview Generated by OpenAI The forum aimed to explore the challenges and opportunities facing men and boys, fostering discussion on how to encourage growth, responsibility, and resilience. It featured distinguished panelists from various backgrounds, including educators, ministers, and reentry specialists. Key topics included education, conflict resolution, mentorship, workforce development, and the role of faith in rebuilding lives. Opening Remarks Dr. Bryan Hudson welcomed attendees in person and online, emphasizing the importance of empowering men and boys. He highlighted Proverbs 27:17, "As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend," and Proverbs 22:28, "Do not remove the ancient landmark which your fathers have set," illustrating the need for strong role models and guiding principles. Panelists & Contributors Minister Corey Jones (Educator & Mentor at KIPP Academy) Initiatives: Founded the PAC (Professionalism, Accountability, Character, and Conduct) program to mentor young men. Challenges: Many students face trauma, exposure to violence, and lack of positive male role models. Solutions: Teaching self-awareness, accountability, and discipline through social-emotional learning, free haircuts, and dress code initiatives (e.g., “Tie Tuesdays”). Jim Cotterill (President, Second Chance Indiana) Focus: Job training, mentoring, and transportation for men reentering society. Key Insights: 89% of those who return to prison are unemployed at the time of their rearrest. Employment significantly reduces recidivism rates. Importance of "A-B-C" Model: Any Job → Better Job → Career. Transportation Program: Provides rides for those starting jobs to ensure reliability. Dr. William Bumphus III (Mentor at Jesus House, Former Director at Wheeler Mission, Educator & Coach) Background: Former athlete and mentor who has studied recidivism and faith-based rehabilitation. Advice: Peer pressure can be both positive and negative. High expectations and accountability lead to success. Discipline and faith play key roles in life transformation. Pastor William Bumphus II (Founder, Jesus Inside Prison Ministry & Jesus House) Mission: Providing residential discipleship for men coming out of prison to help them reintegrate into society. Key Success Factors: Eliminating pressure by providing housing and stability upon release. Prioritizing spiritual growth and accountability over immediate employment. Five Priorities for Reentry Success: Get off parole/probation. Obtain a driver's license. Secure full-time, well-paying employment. Acquire dependable transportation. Find safe, stable housing. Jonathan Hudson (Educator & Media Professional) Message: Encouraged young men to mentor their peers and take leadership in their own lives. Example: Shared an NBA clip where a veteran player corrected a younger teammate, illustrating the impact of peer-to-peer mentorship. Key Topics Discussed Education & Mentorship Exposure to positive role models is critical. Schools need higher expectations for students to encourage success. Field trips, career days, and entrepreneurship programs can expand interests beyond sports. Teaching accountability, discipline, and work ethic prepares young men for adulthood. Reentry & Employment Readiness Addressing trauma, addiction, and lack of role models is key to successful reintegration. Mentorship programs help returning citizens avoid pitfalls. Faith-based approaches provide a strong foundation for long-term change.   Overcoming Conflict & Social Barriers Teaching young men how to manage conflict and take responsibility for their actions. Encouraging self-improvement rather than succumbing to peer pressure. Learning to pivot when faced with setbacks (e.g., injuries ending sports careers)   Closing Thoughts The event emphasized the importance of faith, mentorship, and community support in guiding men and boys toward success. Panelists provided practical solutions, including education, job training, and strong role models, to address societal challenges. Pastor Hudson concluded by encouraging continued engagement with organizations supporting men and boys, urging everyone to "be a landmark"—a visible, stable, and guiding presence for others. This event provided valuable insights, encouragement, and resources to equip men and boys for success in life, work, and relationships. Next Steps: Follow up with recommended organizations and programs. Continue mentorship and community involvement. Plan future forums to expand on key topics.

The international community has focused on the conflict in Gaza between Israel and Hamas following Hamas’ massacre of civilians and taking of hostages on October 7th, 2023. However, after Hezbollah joined Hamas’ attack “in solidarity” by launching rockets and artillery at Israelis on October 8th, a second front opened. Fighting raged along Israel’s northern border through much of the past year, displacing large civilian populations for months. Innovative Israeli tactics – including the use of exploding pagers and walkie-talkies and the targeted killing of Hassan Nasrallah and other senior figures – captured the world’s attention, garnering condemnation from some and admiration from others. Our panel of experts will discuss these developments, with a specific focus on the principles of the law of armed conflict and the prospects for peace in an evolving regional landscape.Featuring: Dr. Peter Berkowitz, Tad and Dianne Taube Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University; Former Director of Policy Planning Staff, U.S. Department of StateProf. Diane Desierto, Professor of Law and Global Affairs Faculty Director, LL.M. in International Human Rights Law; Global Director, Notre Dame Law School Global Human Rights Clinic, Notre Dame Law SchoolModerator: Daniel G.

One of President Donald Trump's many actions in his first three weeks included directing the US Treasury Department to stop minting new pennies.

Former Director of the United States Mint, Philip Diehl, joined Dave Anthony to discuss why he's long been advocating for getting rid of the penny, Diehl explained how the change could impact the American economy.

Democrat lawmakers are not happy after the Trump administration takes a hard look at what to do with USAID, the independent humanitarian arm of the US government. Elon Musk, head of the DOGE Department, has said that USAID is unnecessary, providing funding for needless social programs overseas, while Democrats say it provides much-needed humanitarian aid for developing nations. But does foreign aid actually provide any help to developing nations? Vice President of International Studies at the CATO Institute Ian Vasquez joins the Rundown to discuss the research that shows foreign aid has no bearing on actual development and why he feels most of USAID is a waste of taxpayer dollars. Later, former Administrator of USAID Andrew Natsios joins to explain why he feels USAID should continue in some capacity. The consumer price index for January came in worse than expected—President Donald Trump is calling it Biden's inflation. The report shows that the annual rate of inflation rose to three percent compared to January of last year. With egg prices skyrocketing and Americans still struggling to make ends meet, President Trump promises to get the economy back on track. Former Director of the Congressional Budget Office Douglas Holtz-Eakin joins to break down the current state of the economy.
