Hey, everybody—it's Monday, September 29, and this is your Monday Motivation Podcast by FWACATA.What's up, heathens? You sweaty, creative masses of chaos? Yeah, that thing that happened—wild, right? I mean, I don't know what happened, because I pre-recorded this. But thanks to the internet's nonstop firehose of madness, I'm sure something insane just went down. So now it sounds like I know what's happening. See how that works? “Dude, did you SEE that shit?” Boom. Timeless.Anyway. Welcome back to the other Monday Motivation—the one where we drag your creative bird out of bed, slap it around a little, pour some coffee on it, and shove it back into the ring.Today's episode? Creative Reboots.Restarting stalled projects with fresh energy.Here's a confession: I have drawers—literal drawers—of half-finished comics, folders of “someday novels,” Google Docs of script fragments, and sketchbooks that look like serial killer ransom notes. Every time I open them, these projects look up at me like, “Bro, remember us? You abandoned us like a Tamagotchi in '98.”We all have them. Projects that start hot—burning like first love—and then three weeks later you're wondering: Why the hell did I think a 400-page Gundam-meets-Full-Metal-Jacket-meets-Mad-Max comic was a good idea? (Spoiler: it wasn't. But I still tried.)Creative projects are like relationships. They start steamy. You doodle hearts around their name. Then reality shows up like a chaperone at prom, and you're sitting in the corner with your unfinished script, not even getting to second base.So what do you do? How do you reboot?Look at your project like it's someone else's. Pretend you found it in a thrift store. What's cool about it? What sucks? Sometimes distance gives you fresh eyes. Go get a coffee. Go stare at a wall. Hell, go smoke a cigarette if that's still your thing. Come back. You'll see it differently.Maybe the project stalled not because it sucks—but because you made it too damn big. Instead of a 400-page epic, make it a 12-page comic. Instead of a novel, a short story. Instead of a film, a TikTok. Give yourself permission to shrink it. Small wins build momentum.If you're stuck, switch the medium. Writing on a laptop? Try pen and paper. Painting with acrylics? Try markers, charcoal, Photoshop—hell, carve it into a potato if you have to. Creativity thrives on novelty. Sometimes the project isn't stuck—you are.Ask yourself: Why did I start this? Was it the story? The character? The mood? Go back to the original spark. I make soundtracks for my projects—yeah, actual playlists. When I hear certain songs, I remember what I wanted the story to feel like, and suddenly, boom—the fire's back.A reboot doesn't mean you finish it tomorrow. It means breathing life back into it. One sketch. One page. One note. That's CPR for your project.Look—unfinished doesn't mean failed. It just means paused. You can hit “play” again anytime. And if it really is dead? That's okay too. Bury it, honor it, and move on. Not every sketch becomes a masterpiece. But every sketch leads somewhere.So this week: dust off one stalled project. Give it a reboot. Look at it with new eyes. Shrink it down. Switch your tools. Reconnect with your why. Do something. Anything. And maybe, just maybe, that creative corpse gets back up and dances.That's it for today's Monday Motivation. If you're digging this podcast, support me on Patreon at patreon.com/fwacata—get behind-the-scenes chaos, comics, art, and maybe the occasional zombie project resurrection.And hey—the Kickstarter for issue 3 of FWACATA is live. Go check it out. Support if you can, or at least spread the word. Even a repost works wonders. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ThisisJuan/fwacata-3-comics-to-the-face?ref=9gnlxmAlright weirdos—reboot, restart, and as always… be good.1. Step Back.2. Scale It Down.3. Change the Tools.4. Reconnect with the “Why.”5. Celebrate Progress, Not Perfection.

If there's one thing that chaps my balls (and trust me, there are many), it's ego.You know the kind—spoken-word monologues that sound like they were written by a mirror:“I am the truth, I am the fire, I am the cosmic latte of your reflection.”Cool. Congrats. But here's the thing: creating isn't about being the cosmic latte. It's about doing the thing, failing at the thing, and sometimes—even more importantly—celebrating the fact you did the thing at all.Because being creative is like being in a bad relationship. You give it everything: your time, your sleep, your Netflix queue. And what do you get back? A drawing of a horse that looks like a toaster with legs. Or a short story that reads like it was typed with someone's feet.But now and then, you land it. You make something, you look at it the next day, and you don't want to vomit. That's a win.And here's the tragedy: most of us don't celebrate it. We just shrug and say, “Yeah, but what's next?”That's like winning Olympic gold and complaining your shoelaces were untied.I'll admit it—I'm guilty. I finish a painting, and by the time it's off the easel, I'm already sick of it. I've literally begged museums just to keep the damn thing because I don't want to pick it up. I'm like a deadbeat parent to my own art. Done is done, and I don't want visitation rights.But you know what? That's not fair—to me or the work. Because small wins matter.Wins like:That one sketch in your notebook that actually worked.A print you sold—even if it was on sale.A stranger saying, “Hey, this made me smile.”Your kid asking to draw with you. (That's huge.)Or, if you're me as a kid—spray-painting your toy van army green, taping it like your dad's body shop, and scrawling FUCK TRUCK down the side. (True story. And yes, the weapons popped out when you pressed the button. Tell me that's not a creative win.)Here's the thing: these wins are your rocket boosters. Each one gives you enough thrust to break gravity and keep going. Without them, you're stuck on the launchpad, pissed off, wondering why nothing feels worth it.So here's your homework this week:Think of one creative win you've had. Doesn't matter how small. Maybe it was a napkin doodle that didn't look like hot garbage. Maybe it was a poem that made you laugh. Maybe it was the time your cousin made up a theme song for your ridiculous toy van.Celebrate it. Out loud. Toast it. Do a stupid dance. Tell your dog because nobody else is going to throw you a parade. You have to be the marching band for yourself.Creative wins are rare. They're quiet. They don't come with confetti or royalties. But they matter. They're proof. They're fuel. And if you string enough of them together, you don't just make art—you make a life.So celebrate your work, even the messy bits. Especially the messy bits.Because in the end, small wins are still wins.

In this latest episode of Ed's occasional podcast Climate Book Reviews, we dive into the wildly imaginative and disturbingly plausible world of Ashley Shelby's acclaimed story collection, Honeymoons in Temporary Locations.Recently named one of Fresh Energy's Favorite Climate Books of 2025 and shortlisted for the Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize, Shelby's collection has been praised by Scientific American, Foreword, and the Post and Courier for its biting wit, emotional punch, and genre-bending storytelling.Ed is joined by his regular co-host Dr. Roger Thompson—now Director of Writing Programs and Professor at Arizona State University—for a lively, funny, and far-ranging conversation with Shelby herself. They unpack her satirical takes on resistance, inequality and privilege in crisis (think "luxury apocolypse bunkers”), and what it means to grieve - and medicate away - the losses brought on by climate change.Shelby's work has appeared in Slate, The New York Times Book Review, LitHub, Salon, and Audubon, and she's received the Red Hen Press Short Fiction Award, the Enizagam Short Story Award, and the Third Coast Fiction Prize. She's also the author of Red River Rising, an acclaimed account of the 1997 Grand Forks flood.If you like your climate fiction smart, satirical, and maybe a little too close to home, this one's for you.More info and past Climate Book Reviews episodes at: climatebookreviews.coSend us a text (if you'd like a response, please include your email)Produced by Amit Tandon & Bespoke Podcasts ___Energy vs Climate Podcastwww.energyvsclimate.com Contact us at info@energyvsclimate.com Bluesky | YouTube | LinkedIn | X/Twitter

More and more Minnesotans are leveling up their lawn care with an electric mower. But do they live up to the hype and can they tackle the tough stuff?The good news is that for most residential uses, and increasingly more and more commercial uses, electric mowers are actually a superior and more economical choice than gas mowers. Battery technology has advanced dramatically in the past decade and due to this, we're seeing more powerful electric cars and more capable electric lawnmowers.Join us for a webinar we recently recorded with Jukka Kukkonen and guests from Fresh Energy and the Minnesota clean Cities Coalition.View the video version of the webinar here: https://fresh-energy.org/event/webinar-your-guide-to-mowing-electricFresh Energy's mission is to shape and drive bold policy solutions to achieve equitable carbon-neutral economies.

Guest Ep! The Impact of Uncertainty with Linda Lubi, Haley Deans, Osman Jermusek, Emma Kapinus, Hariette Ngam, Helen Grote, students at the University of Minnesota's Institute on the Environment.____Show Notes:Across the State of Minnesota and the Nation, the clean energy sector is confronting the impacts of funding uncertainty. Millions of grant dollars towards Minnesota rebate programs, solar projects for schools, and nonprofit initiatives remain frozen, delayed, or rescinded. As the path ahead is unclear for Minnesota's renewable energy efforts, how do communities and governments navigate the ever-changing landscape of federal funding? In collaboration with Fresh Energy, we met with government and community leaders at the forefront of these federal changes. We developed this podcast, incorporating our interviews and research-based commentary, aiming to create an informative experience for all prospective listeners. Our podcast maps the current funding landscape, acknowledges concerns, and identifies the advocacy that persists in the face of uncertainty.View references and the original show details here: https://soundcloud.com/impact-of-uncertainty/the-impact-of-uncertaintyFresh Energy's mission is to shape and drive bold policy solutions to achieve equitable carbon-neutral economies.

To slow a warming climate, Minnesota is changing where it gets electricity — shrinking the state's reliance on fossil fuels and expanding the use of renewable energy. Today, more than half of Minnesota's electricity comes from solar, wind and hydropower. But challenges remain.For the state to reach its ambitious goal of being carbon neutral by 2050, Minnesotans would need to embrace new ways of heating homes, traveling, powering the state's factories and much more. And now there are questions about how President Donald Trump's tariffs and opposition to wind and solar energy might affect an energy transition. MPR News has been exploring a transition to a carbon-free economy in the series Getting to Green. MPR News correspondents Dan Kraker and Kirsti Marohn talk about the progress toward green energy and what the future holds. Guests: Allen Gleckner is the executive lead for policy and programs at Fresh Energy, a St. Paul-based clean energy nonprofit that develops decarbonization strategies to advance the clean energy economy. He focuses on technical innovation and policies that will lead to clean energy in the electric system.  Gabriel Chan is an associate professor at the University of Minnesota's Humphrey School of Public Affairs where he focuses on science, technology and environmental policy. He co-directs the Center for Science Technology, and Environmental Policy and the Electric Cooperative Innovation Center. 

Young Guns of Warbirds: Job Savage and Friends Bring Fresh Energy to Vintage AviationWARBIRD RADIO - If you've spent any time around the warbird community, you know it's built on passion—passion for history, for flight, and for keeping these incredible machines in the air. But keeping that passion alive for the next generation? That's a challenge. Fortunately, a new wave of young aviators and restorers are stepping up, bringing fresh energy to the movement, and leading the charge is none other than Job Savage.On this episode of Warbird Radio, we sit down with Job and his flying buddy Luke Hedin, two young pilots who are making waves in the vintage military aircraft world. Their enthusiasm is undeniable, and their commitment to honoring history through hands-on flying and restoration work is nothing short of inspiring. From stick-and-rudder flying to wrench-turning in the hangar, these guys are all in.Later in the episode, we catch up with Job's father, serial entrepreneur and aviation publisher Tim Savage. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and Tim's lifelong dedication to aviation has clearly influenced Job's passion. But what's most impressive isn't just their personal involvement—it's their generosity in opening doors for others. The Savage's and their friends understand that for this movement to thrive, it has to grow. That means creating opportunities for young pilots, maintenance professionals, and restoration experts to get involved, learn the ropes, and carry the torch forward.Their love of all things warbirds is infectious, and hopefully, their generosity is contagious. Our community needs more young hands on the controls and under the cowling, and seeing what the Savage's are doing is proof that the next generation is ready to take flight.Adding to their efforts, the Savage's are now offering DC-3 flight training and type ratings, further expanding opportunities for aspiring aviators. You can learn more at DC3Experience.org and find out more about their 501c3 museum operations by visiting Vintage Flying Machines on social media.Take a listen to this episode, and then get involved! Whether you're a seasoned warbird veteran or just starting to dream about flying one, there's a place for you in this incredible community.

Aviation accounts for nearly 10% of greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector in the United States. With emissions from aircrafts on the rise, federal and state governments are urgently seeking ways to reduce aviation industry emissions through low-carbon fuel pathways that can benefit communities, mitigate climate impacts, and drive business development. But what is sustainable aviation fuel and the possibilities (and perils) it can present?Minnesota is at an inflection point. The choices made now about our state's approach to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) will have an impact for decades to come.Fresh Energy, The Nature Conservancy, and Friends of the Mississippi River partnered to present a webinar for anyone interested in learning more about the possibilities and perils of SAF, especially those working within state agencies, agriculture, economic development, advocacy, and academia.During the discussion, we unpacked what SAF is and how it fits into decarbonizing emissions from aviation, discussed the Minnesota Sustainable Aviation Fuels Guiding Principles created by partner organizations Fresh Energy, Friends of the Mississippi River, and The Nature Conservancy, and explained what could be next for SAF in Minnesota and beyond.View the video recording of the presentation at minnesotasaf.com.Fresh Energy's mission is to shape and drive bold policy solutions to achieve equitable carbon-neutral economies.

This summer, Osprey Wilds, Soltek, and East Central Energy collaborated to install a 716-kilowatt solar photovoltaic system at Osprey Wilds' campus. The project, the largest of its kind for any nature center in Minnesota, is a win-win-win for all parties. It creates consistent revenue for Soltek, supplies East Central Energy with clean, affordable energy, and provides Osprey Wilds with zero-emission electricity, allowing it to achieve its goals of being carbon neutral from an electrical consumption standpoint, while also providing financial security through affordable energy for the next 30+ years.But how did the vision for powering Osprey Wilds with solar become a reality? Tune into this recording of Fresh Energy's October 28 webinar to hear from Osprey Wilds' Executive Director Bryan Wood, Soltek's CEO Shawn Markham, and East Central Energy's CEO Justin Jahnz about how all three parties came together around this project to help each other achieve their organizations' goals, while also helping the planet.Check out photos from the project here: https://bit.ly/solar-osprey.Give to the Max Day is November 21!

Minnesota is going green, and fast. Officials have set an ambitious goal — for the state to be carbon neutral by 2050.   The state is making progress. Over half of Minnesota's electricity is now produced by sources that don't emit greenhouse gases.Last year, state lawmakers set aside tens of millions of dollars for a host of climate projects, from putting solar panels on schools to rebates for electric vehicles. And, the federal government recently pledged billions of dollars to spark the clean energy transition.But there are still many challenges Minnesota must overcome to “get to green.” We need more electric transmission capacity, more electric vehicle chargers and more cost-effective ways to decarbonize buildings, farms and factories.   Listen to a recording of the first of three live shows on the energy transition guest hosted by MPR News correspondents Kirsti Marohn and Dan Kraker, expanding on the reporting they've done with MPR News colleagues in our series Getting to Green. Then tune in Wednesday at 9 a.m. when the focus narrows to our homes—how do we reduce fossil fuel use in heating and running appliances in our homes. On Thursday, the focus is on electric vehicles and sustainable transportation.    Guests:  Margaret Cherne-Hendrick is the senior lead for innovation and impact at Fresh Energy.Pete Wyckoff is the assistant commissioner for federal and state energy initiatives at the Minnesota Department of Commerce, a new position created in 2023 to coordinate efforts to bring millions in federal clean energy funds to Minnesota.Support for this series is provided by the Poynter Institute.

Minnesota's natural gas utilities are planning to grow their gas distribution systems and the volume of natural gas they deliver over the coming decades. This poses a significant challenge for Minnesota as we strive to rapidly reduce emissions from the buildings sector to meet state emission goals. But in order to understand the problem, Minnesotans must first learn how the gas system beneath our feet works and how utilities invest in it. Fresh Energy shared a new report about Minnesota's gas system in November and in this webinar, we unpack some of the report's key findings and answer questions.Listeners can stay up to date on Fresh Energy's work via our once-monthly email list, blog at www.fresh-energy.org, or by following us on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter.

This week we're in the Green Room with environmental activist turned life coach and entrepreneur, Ellen Palmer. Ellen joins us to impart some pragmatic advice, hopefully lighting the fires of change in those seeking healthy self-improvement. Ellen, as founder of Freedom, Growth and Joy here in Minneapolis, draws from her past as COO/CFO of @Askov Finlayson and @Fresh Energy to help guide her clients toward a balanced relationship with themselves and their passions. We do some joking around, but all jokes aside, it's an enlightening conversation. And fear not - we will still bring it around to camping and canoeing somehow. #LegacyMatters #RealConversations #GetToKnowYourNeighbor #UpperMidwestStories #EverydayLegacy #AuthenticVoices #LifeStories #MidwestPodcast #NeighborhoodChronicles #HumanConnection #HeartfeltStories #UnforgettableMoments #ThoughtfulConversations #LocalVoices #GenuineStories #EllenPalmer #FreedomGrowthJoy

A lot has to change for us to find our place and help our world regain its health. One of the greatest needs to get there is to raise our kids to know their place so they make better choices than previous generations. Brenda Cassellius, Exec Dir of Fresh Energy (fresh-energy.org) and previously Sup't of Boston Public Schools, and MN Sec of Education will share from her experience what she sees as hope and action areas for all of us, but especially our children.

In this year's Legislative Wrap Up, the crew discusses the 100% Carbon-Free Electricity by 2040 requiring utilities offer customers 100% carbon-free electricity by 2040. The discussion includes equity in climate change efforts, opportunities for Minnesotans to incorporate clean energy in their everyday life, and how more education of these topics is needed in our community Dr. Brenda Casselius and Anjali Bains, Fresh Energy

Hydrogen is a hot topic in the clean energy space and here in Minnesota. Thanks to the 100% clean electricity law, Minnesota's electricity supply will be 100% carbon-free by 2040. This is a BIG deal. But to address the global climate crisis, we must be carbon neutral across the economy by mid-century or before—and this includes our industry and agriculture sectors. Fortunately, federal action from the Biden Administration in the past few years, including the Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act and Inflation Reduction Act, are also opening up new funding and opportunities for Minnesota to leverage when we're talking industry-wide decarbonization. Join Fresh Energy's Craig McDonnell and Jo Olson to get the scoop on hydrogen and its role in industrial decarbonization.Listeners can stay up to date on Fresh Energy's work via our once-monthly email list, blog at www.fresh-energy.org, or by following us on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter.

Minnesota's Brenda Cassellius grew up in public housing in Minneapolis and she considers that her greatest asset. “I grew up in poverty but there was never a poverty of love,” she said, stressing that it's possible to get out of poverty and chart your own path. “It instilled in me to give back.”  Cassellius has given back to communities by spending decades working in education. She was the first African American woman in Minnesota history to serve as the commissioner of education, under Gov. Mark Dayton. She was later the superintendent of Boston Public Schools, including throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and was a leader in bringing a climate plan that makes schools in the district more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.  Now Cassellius is back in Minnesota and she recently started her position as the executive director of Fresh Energy, a nonprofit aimed at transitioning our state to clean energy.  She also mentors women of color who are school district superintendents and leaders of large organizations.  Also, hear from our listeners who called in to talk about their personal stories of growing up from humble beginnings and later overcoming a path of obstacles. Guests:  Brenda Cassellius is the new executive director of Fresh Energy, a non-profit aimed at transitioning Minnesota to clean energy. She formerly worked for three decades in public education, including as Minnesota's education commissioner and as superintendent for Boston Public Schools.
