Through personal anecdotes and lessons of failure, we reinforce the notion that resilience and authenticity lead to genuine happiness and fulfillment. Matthew's experiences serve as a compelling reminder to trust in one's instincts and to embrace life's hurdles with unwavering determination.We further explore Matthew's unorthodox strategies for visibility and business, from his eye-catching television appearances to innovative self-publishing methods.

This is a link post. The AI safety community has grown rapidly since the ChatGPT wake-up call, but available funding doesn't seem to have kept pace. However, there's a more recent dynamic that's created even better funding opportunities, which I witnessed as a recommender in the most recent SFF grant round.[1] Most philanthropic (vs. government or industry) AI safety funding (>50%) comes from one source: Good Ventures. But they've recently stopped funding several categories of work (my own categories, not theirs): Many Republican-leaning think tanks, such as the Foundation for American Innovation. “Post-alignment” causes such as digital sentience or regulation of explosive growth. The rationality community, including LessWrong, Lightcone, SPARC, CFAR, MIRI. High school outreach, such as Non-trivial. In addition, they are currently not funding (or not fully funding): Many non-US think tanks, who don't want to appear influenced by an American organisation (there's now probably more [...] The original text contained 2 footnotes which were omitted from this narration.

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) held a briefing that explored the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) funding dedicated to nonprofit organizations and municipalities. For example, the introduction of “direct pay” is allowing tax-exempt entities to access the benefits of federal tax credits for the first time. Meanwhile, the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency are hard at work rolling out new programs specifically tailored to these entities. The IRA and IIJA are opening new doors for nonprofits and local governments working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to a changing climate. These opportunities also bring questions: What capacities do varying organizations and municipalities have to apply for, manage, and monitor funding? What reporting requirements could pose challenges for grantees? What does equity look like across these different programs? Panelists addressed these questions and described the status of IRA and IIJA programs that increase the technical and financial capacity of public sector groups. They also shared case studies from across the country where funding is making a difference in communities, and discussed what lessons can be learned to bolster these federal efforts going forward.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - At their May 22 Board meeting, the Strathcona Regional Distrct (SRD) passed 3 important monetary decisions for Cortes Island. Firstly, the SRD will be increasing the annual fee for waste collection by $10 a year. This will be paid through our property taxes. Regional Director Mark Vonesch explained, “we're basically being forced to do this because Recycling BC changed their support for the solid waste collection fees so that we're having to make up that loss through increasing our fees, which we're going to be doing over the next couple of years.” Secondly, the Cortes Island Firefighters Association's contract with the SRD expired more than a year ago. Since that time, the fire departent has been hired on a monthly basis. Now the SRD is once again offering a 5 year contract. SRD Chief Administrative Officer (CAO David Leitch) stated, “I just want to acknowledge the Cortes Island Firefighting Association and Sadhu Johnston for their participation and great patience. I think it's been a nice team-building exercise throughout but, as I understand it from Sadhu, the board has endorsed this contract, which is really great. This is a great step forward for both of us.” Mark Vonesch: “If I could add to that. It has been a year and a half and I'm just really grateful to staff, the Cortes Island Firefighters Association and this board for getting us here. This is a big win for Cortes. It's a big win for the SRD. It's a big win for Cortes Fire Department. I'm just really excited to get this five year deal passed. Now we can all move forward.” Lastly, the SRD is entering into an agreement with the Cortes Community Housing Society to provide up to $140,000 of the funding available through the Provincial Gas Tax on a road leading into Rainbow Ridge. We've actually been hearing about this project since November, but it was approved Wednesday. The Board passed all of these measures with no opposing votes.

When it comes to the ins and outs of financing, Kevin is an expert and in this episode of Flying Solo, he shares all the tips you need to know to help you put your business in the best position to access finance.

[00:08:05] Debtors, debtor days, management team, ideal customers, consolidated creditors. [00:12:01] Test companies' resilience with a score of 50.

“Much of our infrastructure isn't built to withstand certain kinds of flooding or certain levels of heat. And yet, as the climate changes, so many of the things… that we did know in a world with a stable climate, those are now being upended. And all of that affects costs fundamentally… So, we need to transition to net zero…The three pieces of (federal) legislation are all about investing in America and making sure that from the innovation to commercialization pipeline, we are helping those goods get to market at scale, at prices consumers can afford.” Heather Boushey on Electric Ladies Podcast Climate change affects the entire economy, especially our infrastructure, like transportation, energy and electric power systems, buildings, manufacturing, etc. and every one of us, from consumers to businesses to investors, to education etc. Every sector, every community, every income bracket. NOAA calculated it's already caused almost $3 trillion in damages. The Biden administration signed three massive bills into law with Congress's help that address this pivot to a net zero economy and upgrading our infrastructure. Listen to Heather Boushey, Member of the White House Council of Economic Advisors and Chief Economist of the Invest in America Cabinet, in this exclusive and rare interview by Joan Michelson on Electric Ladies Podcast explain how we can economically do this transition and how this federal funding reduces our risks and costs to do, while also expediting this transition to help avert even far worse effects of climate change. You'll hear: How climate change affects the economy, and key sectors specifically. Resources in the Inflation Reduction Act, Infrastructure Investment Act & CHIPS & Science Act to help homeowners, businesses and investors make these changes at reduced risks and lower costs. Where the opportunities – and jobs – are in this transition, including for women. The impact on women specifically and resources available Plus, insightful career advice, such as… “For me, the key to my career was being clear on what my mission is….I feel so enormously fortunate that I found a president to be able to work for who shares that goal….So I think the lesson in that is either be the leader that you want to believe in, or find that leader and attach yourself to them and see what amazing things you can do together. But, for me, it's been about being clear on what it is that I wanted to achieve.” Heather Boushey on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan's Forbes articles here too.

Untapped Potential: Starting the Year with Great News: Funding Opportunities for Masters Degree Programs in the US
In our final episode of the series we are discussing the important financial topics which cover most natural capital projects, including ecosystem markets and green commerce. We discuss potential funding and revenue options for natural capital, and importantly what are the risks and future opportunities for agriculture and landowners in Scotland. Investing in nature can help to improve our environment, drive a green economy, tackle global issues such as climate change and make the world a better place for both society and biodiversity. Professor Mark Reed is an expert in Rural Entrepreneurship and the Co-Director of the Thriving Natural Capital Challenge Centre at Scotland's Rural College (SRUC). He is a transdisciplinary researcher specialising in environmental governance, ecosystem markets and research impact. He is a visiting professor at several universities, CEO of Fast Track Impact, Research Lead for the IUCN UK Peatland Programme where he sits on the Executive Board of the Peatland Code, and is also Co-Chair of UNEP's Global Peatland Initiative Research Working Group. The Earth's soils, rocks, air, water, plants and animals are all valuable resources that provide a wide range of services and benefits. These resources need to be carefully managed and maintained to support a healthy functioning environment. In this Natural Capital podcast series, hosted by Rachel Smillie we explore different natural capital assets and their value to Scottish agriculture and the rural economy, including the opportunities and risks for the future. Hosted by Rachel Smillie, produced by Iain Boyd, editor Kieron Sim, executive producer Kerry Hammond.

When we think of raising capital we usually default to VCs, Angels, Friends & Family, and maybe Family Offices. But there are a whole host of other funding instruments that can put you on the map, like alumni groups, sovereign wealth funds, and more. Randall Crowder raised over $100 million for Phunware, then took the company public via a SPAC and raised another $100 million. He's experienced the good, the bad, and the ugly behind every possible funding path. He steps to the mic in this week's episode to break it all down so that you can be more educated in your capital pursuit. He also shares how fighting in Iraq prepared him for entrepreneurship.Find Randall online:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/randallcrowder/Website: http://www.randallcrowder.com/Find Phunware online:Website: https://www.phunware.com/This episode is sponsored by Miquido - a full-service software development partner that supports companies in building their digital products.

Breaking down barriers for women entrepreneurs, creating transparency and educating founders about venture capital is part of Carrie Colbert's mission. “I don't think of it as just a linear one-way street. I think of it as an ecosystem where we can all learn from one another, and really foster success and empowerment,” explains Carrie, the Founder of Curate Capital. After a successful career in the oil and gas industry, Carrie decided to support other female entrepreneurs' visions, investing in companies like Packed Party, which in just five years generated a 10X ROI. What sets Carrie apart from many venture capitalists is that she offers more than just cash infusion. She offers what so many female entrepreneurs (who make up 80 percent of her clientele) are looking for: the gift of community, a network, and resources. She sees an “opportunity arbitrage” in the fact that females in business are underfunded and overperforming, and that her results and connections, including the influence she has amassed as a popular blogger and Instagrammer, can really drive great returns for her investors. This week, Carrie explains what a VC actually does on a typical day, what the requirements and limitations are for those who are seeking investors, and why it's key to any venture to surround yourself with people more knowledgeable than you are. Quotes • “She's a mom with a big belief in female founders, and that is something that really drew me to Carrie. She is a champion of female entrepreneurs.”(4:33-4:40 | Lindsay) • “Women founders do not get any capital. It is such a struggle for them to find the capital. You were seeing that, and infusing businesses, and seeing a return on your investment, before you even had your fund. So you were able to prove your concept and the need for your fund, before you even thought, ‘I want to do this.'”(11:15-11:33 | Lindsay) • “We invest in businesses by women, for women.” (30:50-30:53 | Carrie) • “Work on your story. It's all about storytelling. There are a million companies out there but I want to know: what problem are you solving? How are you solving it? And why are you the key person to solve that problem? “(33:01-33:14 | Carrie) • “I'm a big believer that no experience is lost.”(36:12-36:14- Carrie) Connect with Carrie Colbert: Website | https://www.curate.capital/ Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/carriec Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

*This is part two of a two-part episode* On May 13th, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) released three Notices of Funding Opportunity to implement major broadband deployment, adoption, and equity programs where approximately $45 billion in Infrastructure Act funding will be awarded. In this episode, Partner Tom Cohen and Special Counsel Mike Dover provide a brief overview of each program and the potential opportunities.
In this episode, Rob, and Tim Beecher of BHESCo talk about what is going on with improving the energy efficiency of UK housing stock. In particular, how BHESCo helps property owners to achieve this by taking advantage of the various funding sources. Much of the podcast is about how the new eco regulations are going to impact landlords and landladies. But they also talk about how homeowners can make their homes eco-friendlier without spending too much. They discuss what the changes are, and how grants can be accessed. As well as talking about some of the challenges homeowners face when trying to improve their EPC ratings. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a lot of funding available to improve the energy efficiency of your property. The funding and grants systems are still difficult to understand and access. The new eco-board should improve the situation and BHESco can help groups successfully navigate the system. The local authority delivery scheme is there to facilitate the creation of low energy performance homes. Homeowners and social housing groups can access several schemes, details of which are discussed in the podcast. Some of the schemes are specifically designed for those on benefits or low incomes. Some schemes e.g., the biomass boiler one are only available for rural properties. Your local authority can tell you about the schemes and grants that are available in your area. It is extremely hard to achieve a good energy rating if you rely on bottled gas. BEST MOMENTS ‘There is a lot of funding available… but, getting your hands on it is actually quite difficult.' ‘Your energy supplier has got some availability to help with certain things.' ‘We need that cross-party collaboration.'

As every startup entrepreneur and enterprise CEO knows, the growth stage is all about scaling up the company, which typically requires a cash infusion. That's where investment gurus like Deven Parekh come in. As a Managing Director at Insight Partners who has been with the firm for more than 22 years, Deven has some insightful advice to share for entrepreneurs hoping to secure funding to fuel their business. Over the course of his career, the companies he's invested in have all had major payouts—Buddy Media was acquired by Salesforce, Football Fanatics was bought by GSI Commerce, and eventually eBay, and Media Mind was sold to DG Fast Channel after the IPO. During this episode, the global investor shares the top qualities he and his team are looking for in software companies worldwide.On the lookout for large marketsDeven shared a few of the main characteristics he and his team are looking for when it comes to finding businesses to invest in. First, he said they're most interested in targeting large markets to maximize growth opportunities. In addition, they look for businesses with a technology product that's not easy to replicate so they can keep competition at bay, and an exponential increase in momentum in terms of buyer interest. And last but not least, Deven noted they typically look for solid teams with great management leaders who truly feel passionate about the problem they're helping to solve. In-person interactions minimize riskAs the pandemic continues to subside over time, more of its long-term impacts on the business world will be revealed. Deven commented that for investors, arranging in-person meetings followed by dinner or drinks isn't just a nicety—it can actually help to minimize risks by building trust on a personal level. Although many companies will continue to use tools like Zoom and a hybrid working environment for the sake of convenience, meeting in person will continue to play an important role in creating a foundation of trust and collaboration among teams.Invest in your passionsDeven's overall advice to entrepreneurs was to choose a problem that you're passionate about solving and make it the main focus of your business. While it can be tempting to dive into hot new trends in the market, he recommends following your passion instead because you'll be more likely to actually find a solution to the problem you're trying to solve. Deven commented that people tend to complicate the road to success, but it's really quite simple: identify a pain point, work on solving it, and convince customers to buy your product.CIBC Innovation Banking delivers strategic advice, cash management and funding to innovation companies across North America, the UK, and select European countries at each stage of their business cycle, from start up to IPO and beyond.
