In this episode, Andrew Horvath, Global Group Chairman, Star Scientific Limited, discusses the role of hydrogen in the new energy economy. Hydrogen became more prevalent after the first energy crisis in the early 1970s. It has now taken a giant leap forward as climate change and the war in Ukraine has made energy and its production a bigger issue. People have come to realize that there is a significant role for hydrogen to play in the new energy economy. With hydrogen taking a center stage in the energy discourse, there are ongoing efforts to reduce its high manufacturing costs and governments are stepping in to provide impetus to hydrogen economy. What remains to be seen is how long it will take to convert our existing energy infrastructure so that it can run entirely on hydrogen. In this episode of the Decoding Innovation podcast series, Andrew Horvath, Global Chairman for Star Scientific Limited, talks to our host Mitali Sharma about his journey in the hydrogen economy, the impact of hydrogen on parts of our economy, the “plug-and-play” approach for a transition to hydrogen across industries and the ways by which governments can facilitate the adoption of hydrogen. Key takeaways: The problem with hydrogen has always been the high cost of manufacturing. However, by reducing the amount of energy to produce hydrogen, new smarter systems can bring hydrogen under the cost of natural gas. Enabling power plants to run entirely on hydrogen is challenging and massively costly. Thus, adopting an incremental approach of changing just the heat component is better suited for a transition to hydrogen. Government has a big role to play in the transition to hydrogen by making the process to get grants easier. Industry, banks and people need to be provided regulatory relief.

On this episode, Ami Kassar interviews Michael Caito, owner and CEO of Management Action Programs (MAP), to discuss what MAP is, how it works, and how it compares to EOS or Scaling Up. Michael's entrepreneurial roots date back to the early 1990s when he and two partners launched Restaurants on the Run with a mere $6,000. Michael spent the next 20 years building that business. When the company sold in 2015, it was valued at 12x EBITDA and scaled 10 markets, 600 people, and $40 million in revenue. Michael contributes much of that growth and success to his implementation of the MAP Management System™. In December 2017, Michael purchased MAP, the very company that helped him so much over the years. A member of Entrepreneurs' Organization for 20+ years, he's served as a past Global Chairman and traveled to over 25 countries, engaging with countless company owners and organizations. Michael is also active in the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO). Recorded 01/13/2023.

Many forecasters, including our own economists, are expecting a US recession in 2023, driven by the rapid and ongoing hiking cycle initiated by the US Federal Reserve as it attempts to get a grip on persistently high inflation. As the US economy slows, with housing sales down 30-35% from their peak and increasing reports of layoffs, some are questioning whether the record-setting pace of hikes is a policy mistake that will make a recession inevitable. In episode 51 of The Flip Side, Global Head of Research Jeff Meli and Global Chairman of Research Ajay Rajadhyaksha debate what's ahead for the US economy into next year.
