In our series: How AI is revolutionising Energy, Laurent and Gerard dive deep into the intricate corner of Energy Management system for large industrial clusters. You would believe that legacy providers such as Siemens, Schneider Electric or Hitachi would provide such solutions. They are not. Indeed, they provide legacy Scada systems which are hardware linked and bottom up. There is no glue to optimise them as a group and deliver access to Energy markets. Two young Belgian engineers have decided to address this blind spot and come up with a new generation of software: AI powered EMS. That is what Companion Energy has achieved. We bring in its CEO Thomas Vyncke. Most of the European energy conversation still focuses on front-of-the-meter flexibility: batteries, renewables and other assets participating in wholesale and balancing markets. Thomas' thesis is that an equally important — and much less developed — opportunity sits behind the meter, inside large industrial and commercial companies. The problem is complexity. Every enterprise site is different: different tariffs, contracts, generation assets, batteries, EV fleets, boilers, industrial processes, grid constraints and operating requirements. The opportunity therefore isn't simply to buy cheaper electricity or optimise one battery. It is to continuously optimise the entire energy system of the site against its operational and financial reality. That is what Vyncke and co-founder Jonas Verstraeten are building with Companion.energy, founded in 2022. The platform provides transparency on energy costs and automates optimisation across complex behind-the-meter environments. The company says it currently optimises more than €500m of energy spend and 350+ MW of assets across Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Romania, working with companies including Proximus, TotalEnergies and Port of Antwerp-Bruges. It recently raised a €7.8m seed round to support international expansion. And it is just the beginning… With the energy industry's largest proprietary dataset, world-class experts and decision-grade models, all powered by Synoptic AI, Wood Mackenzie delivers Intelligence Connected across the energy and natural resources landscape.

There is simply too much greenwashing happening. Environmental reporting has become a meaningless bureaucracy feeding a fictional reality through glossy reports that nobody reads anymore. But things are changing; the impact of climate change (heatwaves, floods) is hitting back at governments trying to ignore it. Some BigTech, historically in favour of renewable energy are now busy building the biggest gas plants in the world for their datacenters, while pretending still to be on track for their “net zero” commitments. They maintain the fiction through carbon accounting tricks, maximisation of loopholes and heavy PR campaigns run by the American Petroleum Institute and McKinsey. Fortunately, there are a lot of companies which start to see the direction of travel: a more granular way of accounting for Energy and Emissions. Not by the year, where summer solar can be accounted for winter consumption, but by the month and soon by the hour. Hourly matching is new, tough, but far from unsurmountable. That is what new companies such as Renewabl are enabling: by cutting though the bureaucracy and Excel Sheets, and helping the forward thinkers to present, report and optimise their energy and emissions profile. Laurent and Gerard have the privilege of receiving Carolyn Addy, Head of Commercial at Renewabl, to talk about the new trends, the innovations, and how progressively, we are entering a more transparent and efficient world. We talk about immediate non-regret solutions and the impact of AI in the process. We also dive into how hourly PPAs are progressively making their way into the market, and whatever perceived additional work they require, in fact they provide better hedges against volatile energy costs.

Technology can help organizations move faster. But faster toward what?Mark Slatin sits down with Dr. Gerard Athaide, professor of marketing at Loyola University Maryland, to explore why strategy must come before technology.Gerard explains why leaders should begin with an honest assessment of where customers are struggling before investing in a new platform, automation, or AI solution. He also introduces the 3A framework for digital innovation: acquisition, analysis, and activation.Learn why technology alone will not improve the customer experience, how leaders can focus limited resources, and why human judgment and organizational culture remain essential.Research referenced:Marketing Innovations and Digital Technologies: A Systematic Review, Proposed Framework, and Future Research Agendahttps://doi.org/10.1111/jpim.12741Gerard Athaide's Loyola University Maryland faculty profile:https://www.loyola.edu/sellinger-business/faculty-research/directory/athaide.htmlLead with trust. Change what matters.
Retired Navy Captain Gerard Cox, MD, built a forty-year career out of a four-year commitment. He signed with the Navy's Health Professions Scholarship Program because his parents had already stretched to pay for an expensive undergraduate education, intending to serve his obligation and return to New England as a general internist. Three months into a medicine internship at Bethesda he knew that path was wrong. A flight surgeon tour with Marine squadrons out of Cherry Point gave him time to mature as a physician and to find emergency medicine, then a new and contested specialty. By the eleven-year mark the Navy had him, and he finished at thirty. What followed is a tour of the places where military medicine meets national consequence. From 1999 to 2001 he served in the White House Medical Unit as a physician to Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, spending most of his first year on the campaign trail with Vice President Al Gore. He explains what protective medical support actually requires: a physician with a black medical bag within seconds of the president at all times, monitoring the same Secret Service frequency, positioned on the far side of the armored limousine. That doctrine was written directly out of the 1981 Hinckley shooting, when the White House physician was left behind at the scene and never got into the car. A decade later, he was Force Surgeon for U.S. Naval Forces Central Command and Fleet Surgeon for the U.S. Fifth Fleet, administratively responsible for Navy medical personnel across Afghanistan, Kuwait, and every ship in the area of responsibility. The lesson he carries from that tour and from Desert Shield and Desert Storm is the same: international agreements and host-nation relationships are what allow the United States to operate medically in that theater at all. He then spent nearly eleven years in senior Veterans Health Administration leadership, walking into the Office of the Medical Inspector three months after the 2014 access-to-care scandal broke, and later serving as Assistant Under Secretary for Health for Quality and Patient Safety and national co-lead of the VA high reliability organization rollout across more than 170 medical centers. His verdict on the word accountability is blunt. It was redefined to mean punishment, and you cannot fire your way to excellence. The episode closes on advice a Navy admiral gave him in 1997 and on the fifteen-minute walk he and his wife have taken nearly every evening since, the habit that kept a forty-year career and a marriage intact. Chapters (01:11-08:39) An Accidental Navy Career (08:40-16:41) Inside the White House Medical Unit (16:42-24:26) Fifth Fleet, CENTCOM, and the Move from Clinician to Commander (24:27-37:01) Rebuilding Trust at VA: Accountability and High Reliability (37:02-43:24) Bridging the Military Health System and the VA (43:25-52:54) The Fifteen-Minute Walk: Resilience and Legacy Chapter Summaries (01:11-08:39) An Accidental Navy Career Dr. Cox traces the decision points that turned a four-year scholarship obligation into thirty years of active duty: an HPSP flyer on a Dartmouth bulletin board, an internal medicine internship he abandoned within months, and a flight surgeon tour with Marine squadrons at Cherry Point. That tour let him practice as the sole medical expert for a deployed squadron and pointed him toward the new specialty of emergency medicine. (08:40-16:41) Inside the White House Medical Unit As physician to Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush, Dr. Cox describes protective medical support as a discipline of seconds and positioning, not of clinical complexity. He walks through the Hinckley shooting that shaped the doctrine, the advance planning that precedes a foreign trip, and the accelerated 2000 transition between administrations. (16:42-24:26) Fifth Fleet, CENTCOM, and the Move from Clinician to Commander Dual-hatted as Force Surgeon for NAVCENT and Fleet Surgeon for Fifth Fleet, CAPT (Ret) Cox was responsible for Navy medical personnel from the NATO Role 3 hospital in Kandahar to individual augmentees with Afghan units and every ship in theater. He then turns to the leap into command, where a physician stops being the team leader and becomes the leader of a team of leaders. (24:27-37:01) Rebuilding Trust at VA: Accountability and High Reliability Three months into his VA tenure, the 2014 access-to-care scandal forced out the Secretary, the Under Secretary for Health, and the Medical Inspector. Dr.Cox took the Medical Inspector role and rebuilt its investigative culture on a single rule: every whistleblower allegation has an equal chance of being true or not true. He then describes the six-year high reliability rollout and the just culture that has to underpin it. (37:02-43:24) Bridging the Military Health System and the VA Dr. Cox explains why enrollment in VA health care is still opt-in rather than automatic, and what the failed Ensuring Veterans Transition Act would have changed. He contrasts the two patient populations and argues for moving providers and patients across both systems to preserve clinical currency and use existing VA capacity. (43:25-52:54) The Fifteen-Minute Walk: Resilience and Legacy A Navy admiral told him in 1997 to turn off the computer and go home, because the work will still be there in the morning. Dr. Cox and his wife have walked the dog together for fifteen minutes nearly every evening for more than fifteen years. He closes on what he wants remembered: integrity, treating people as people, and keeping the patient at the center of every decision. Take Home Messages Protective medical support is a discipline of seconds, not of clinical complexity. Caring for a president is less about the medicine than about position, communication, and rehearsal — a physician within seconds of the principal at all times, on the same radio frequency as the protective detail, staged on the side of the vehicle away from the threat. Every one of those procedures exists because a real failure in 1981 exposed the gap. Contingency planning is what converts a bad day into a survivable one. Accountability was redefined as punishment, and the substitution did real damage. In its original meaning, accountability is an objective, independent process for determining what actually happened. Congressional pressure turned it into a body count of terminations. You cannot fire your way to excellence, and a system that tries will lose the trust it needs to surface problems early. A just culture balances system responsibility against individual responsibility. People do not set out to make mistakes, and roughly 99.9 percent of the time they do not intend to harm anyone. Human error is inevitable, so the work is building systems that stop those errors before they reach the patient. Leaders and the system they run carry as much responsibility for prevention as the individual who erred. Command turns you from the team leader into the leader of a team of leaders. A clinician promoted into command arrives fluent in credentialing and clinical operations and largely ignorant of logistics, pharmacy, laboratory, and facilities management. The response is humility and questions, not bluff. Show up in the radiology suite on a Saturday morning and talk to the technician on duty, because the risks are visible at the front line and invisible in the C-suite. Protect fifteen minutes a day and the rest of the career becomes survivable. The work will still be there in the morning, so turn off the computer, go home, and have dinner with your family. One couple made a pledge at command leadership school to walk the dog together every evening, and more than fifteen years later they still do it. Careers can be slowed by choices made in favor of family; legacies are not.

Where Are BESS Making Money? Gerard and Laurent had the pleasure of welcoming Ed Porter Director Europe at Modo Energy for an insightful discussion on battery profitability and the evolving economics of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Modo Energy is a fast-growing data analytics and market intelligence platform helping energy professionals benchmark asset performance, forecast revenues and evaluate investments in renewable energy and grid-scale battery storage. Ed outlines three stages in the development of a battery market:Stage 1 – Pre-saturation: Batteries can achieve attractive payback periods, sometimes as short as three years, primarily through ancillary services.Stage 2 – Wholesale market competition: As ancillary service revenues become more competitive, batteries increasingly rely on wholesale market opportunities, as seen in Australia, Texas and Great Britain.Stage 3 – Sophisticated grid services: Once wholesale markets become saturated, batteries move towards more advanced and specialised grid services (voltage, inertia...). The technology is evolving rapidly, as is the deployment of new battery capacity. This makes future revenues increasingly difficult to predict, particularly because of the cannibalisation effect: as more batteries enter a market, they compete for the same revenue opportunities and can progressively reduce market spreads. From Australia to PJM, ERCOT and CAISO, and across Great Britain, Spain and Germany, we explore the fundamentals driving battery profitability in different markets. With CAPEX around $500,000/MW, a decent return might be in the region of $70,000–80,000/MW. Yet the picture varies dramatically by market. Poland can deliver around $300,000/MW, while ERCOT and Australia's NEM are currently below $30,000/MW. These differences highlight why investors need to look beyond headline revenues and consider market structure, competition, saturation, technology and future revenue cannibalisation. We also discuss Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) and explore the deeper market and technological levers that can make batteries a profitable long-term investment. A compelling conversation on where BESS is making money today—and, perhaps more importantly, where the opportunities may lie tomorrow. With the energy industry's largest proprietary dataset, world-class experts and decision-grade models, all powered by Synoptic AI, Wood Mackenzie delivers Intelligence Connected across the energy and natural resources landscape.

A former SWAT cop who hates gun shops bought a 100-year-old bank and built one of the most creative firearms businesses in the country.In this episode of Founder Talk, Alex Sheridan sits down with Matthew Gerard, founder of Down Range CC in Rochelle, Illinois. From John Wick-style tastings inside a historic bank vault to challenge coins that replace business cards, Matthew is building an experience-driven brand in a lower income town that pulls customers from miles away.Key takeaways:00:00:00 Introduction00:01:36Q: How do you build a unique business in a traditional industry like firearms retail?A: Matthew Gerard explains that he hated the standard gun shop model, so he designed his store around education and premium experiences rather than volume sales. The building itself, a historic 1908 bank with an original vault, became the centerpiece of a completely different customer experience.00:36:35Q: How do you market a luxury product in a lower income area?A: Matthew Gerard spends as little time in his shop as possible and instead goes to golf outings and Chamber of Commerce events in wealthier surrounding towns. He gets in front of people with money rather than waiting for them to find him.00:40:10Q: Why are women the fastest growing market in firearms and how should gun shops respond?A: Matthew Gerard notes that most gun shops are not female friendly and default to handing women a small pink gun. Down Range has offered ladies-only classes for years and designs every element of the store experience to be welcoming regardless of gender.00:55:04Q: How do you market a firearms business when social media platforms shadow ban gun content?A: Matthew Gerard discovered that Facebook monitors the first 30 seconds of live streams. He opens every stream with "Welcome to the Down Range Natural History Museum" to bypass the filter, then transitions to gun sales content. The hack worked so well that Facebook is now paying him for engagement.01:00:01Q: Why is firearms training so critical even if you already own a gun?A: Matthew Gerard compares most gun owners to Linus from Peanuts carrying a security blanket. The gun makes them feel safe but they have never trained under stress. Down Range uses force-on-force training with airsoft to simulate real threat scenarios.

Gerard Hines and Chris Duff have spent nearly four decades working alongside each other, building one of Australia's most respected independent agribusinesses from a single rural store into a national business. What does it take to build an agribusiness from a handful of people into a national business, without losing the culture, relationships and local connection that made it successful in the first place?Gerard Hines and Chris Duff are the co-founders of Delta Agribusiness. Their working relationship stretches back almost 40 years, from a small rural business near Young, NSW, through the creation of Delta Agribusiness in 2006 and more than 20 acquisitions, before Delta ultimately became part of Elders.This is a conversation about much more than growth. Gerard and Chris unpack the decisions, people and principles underneath it, from backing themselves during drought, putting their own money on the line and using employee ownership to create alignment, to learning why balance sheet strength, local relationships and great people matter when building a business for the long term.Key insights from the conversation:How Gerard and Chris built a partnership spanning nearly 40 years through trust, respect and shared valuesWhy bringing independent agronomy into agricultural retail fundamentally changed their business modelThe role mentors and early equity opportunities played in shaping Delta's inclusive ownership philosophyWhat IAMA, Wesfarmers and AWB taught them about leadership, governance, systems and financial disciplineWhy Delta was founded during the middle of a severe drought and how backing themselves changed everythingThe importance of maintaining a strong balance sheet so opportunities can be seized during difficult seasonsHow focusing on people, culture and local relationships drove more than 20 successful acquisitions across AustraliaWhy equity ownership became one of Delta's greatest tools for attracting, retaining and aligning great peopleHow staying connected to customers and the frontline has remained critical, even as the business has grown nationallyThe lessons learned from succession planning, bringing in private equity, and ultimately partnering with Elders to secure Delta's next chapterChapters:00:00 Introduction to Gerard Hines and Chris Duff's Journey01:52 Early Days of Agriculture and Agronomy04:00 Founding of Delta Agribusiness and Initial Challenges08:05 The Impact of Industry Changes and Mergers11:57 Lessons Learned from Industry Challenges15:57 Growth Strategies and Private Equity Involvement20:08 Building Company Culture and Leadership25:02 Managing Growth, Succession, and Industry Dynamics31:47 The Decision to Start Delta and Early Risks36:04 Timing and Market Conditions During Launch40:03 Resilience During Droughts and Market Cycles45:07 The Role of Relationships and Trust in Business49:48 Strategic Acquisitions and Private Equity Partnerships54:58 Adapting to Industry and Market Changes59:55 Leadership, Culture, and the Future of DeltaPodcast KeywordsDelta Agribusiness, Gerard Hines, Chris Duff, Australian agribusiness, agronomy Australia, agricultural leadership, agribusiness entrepreneurship, rural business, agriculture careers, agricultural retail, private agronomy, Australian farming, business growth, mergers and acquisitions, employee ownership, business culture, drought resilience, leadership development, succession planning, Elders, regional business, entrepreneurship in agriculture

In this episode of The Grant Williams Podcast, I welcome back Gerard Minack back for a fascinating discussion about one of the most consequential questions facing investors today: whether AI represents a durable investment opportunity or an extraordinary technology surrounded by an increasingly fragile earnings boom. Gerard makes an important distinction between an earnings bubble and a valuation bubble, arguing that the extraordinary profits currently being generated by the companies supplying the AI buildout are real, but may prove far less sustainable than markets expect as Chinese competition intensifies, customers become increasingly price-sensitive, and margins inevitably come under pressure. From there, our conversation broadens into what happens if the AI trade cracks, why that needn't necessarily produce a US recession, and where capital might flow next. Gerard's answer leads to a compelling discussion of Japan, where improving corporate behaviour, a cheap currency, strengthening domestic fundamentals and the potential for enormous repatriation flows offer an intriguing alternative to both an expensive US market and a Chinese economy still struggling with the consequences of chronic overinvestment.

Why would someone who watched one deep-sea mining company collapse go back and try it again? That's the question at the center of this episode, and it's not hypothetical. It happened, with the same industry, some of the same licenses, and the same person at the center of it: Gerard Barron, now CEO of The Metals Company (TMC), one of the most prominent and best-funded companies pushing to start commercial deep-sea mining today. This isn't framed as an accusation against Barron specifically. It's a documented sequence of decisions, and by the end, you can decide for yourself what the motive looks like. Before TMC, Barron was an early investor and promoter behind Nautilus Minerals, a company that pursued seafloor mineral deposits off Papua New Guinea. Nautilus raised hundreds of millions of dollars, including investment from the PNG government itself, before its costs spiraled, it was delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange, and it filed for bankruptcy in 2019. Barron reportedly sold his shares years before the collapse, walking away with a return as high as $30 million, while PNG's government and environment were left holding the damage. Years later, people connected to Nautilus, including Barron, regrouped as Deep Green, which became The Metals Company, and picked up exploration rights in the Clarion Clipperton Zone that had once belonged to Nautilus. This episode traces that arc from Adstream to Nautilus to TMC, including TMC's push to trigger the ISA's two-year rule, its more recent pursuit of a US mining permit outside the International Seabed Authority process entirely, and Barron's consistent argument that mining the seabed is less environmentally damaging than mining on land. Whether that comparison holds up, and what it means that the environmental cost of Nautilus's failure barely factors into how Barron talks about it now, is the thread running through the whole story. Takeaways Gerard Barron, now CEO of The Metals Company (TMC), was an early investor and promoter (not CEO) behind an earlier deep-sea mining venture, Nautilus Minerals, which went bankrupt in 2019. Nautilus's projected operating costs of about $70 per ton reportedly grew to about $192 per ton, contributing to its delisting from the Toronto Stock Exchange and eventual bankruptcy. Papua New Guinea's government invested in Nautilus and, according to the country's prime minister, the country spent roughly 300 million Kina (about $72 million USD) on a project later called a "total failure." Barron sold his Nautilus shares years before the company's collapse, reportedly for as much as $30 million, while PNG's government was still invested. TMC, which Barron now leads, is pursuing a US permitting path through NOAA and the Trump administration, outside the ISA process. Long-term recovery data on deep-sea mining damage remains limited; some studies cited in the episode indicate no biodiversity recovery three to four years after mining activity occurred. Barron has publicly compared seabed mining favorably to land-based mining, but a specific biomass figure he's cited in at least one interview is disputed in this episode as inaccurate.
