The White House's Office of Management and Budget has released a sweeping 400-page proposed rule change that would fundamentally alter how the U.S. federal government manages grants, affecting everything from NASA research to biomedical science and community programs. In this episode, Casey Dreier is joined by Liz Ginexi, a former Program Officer at the U.S. National Institutes of Health, to break down what these changes would mean for American science. Among the most significant proposals: replacing merit-based peer review with partisan political review, allowing grants to be terminated at any time without justification, and restricting scientists' ability to publish their work and attend conferences. Together, Casey and Liz explain how a document dressed up in procedural language could centralize unprecedented control over U.S. scientific funding under a single White House office.

Just Jimmy and Tyler kicking off June with something that’s been on Jimmy’s mind since the Rubicon trip — and since the Barrett Lake outhouse project started spreading to other forests. The short version: the National Forest Service is being restructured in a way that removes local regional offices. The closest regional office for El Dorado National Forest, Tahoe National Forest, and Stanislaus National Forest is now in Salt Lake City. That means people who have never set foot on our trails are making decisions about them. Jimmy draws the parallel to what happened at Gemini Bridges and Labyrinth Rims — 2,200 miles of trails evaluated and closed by people working off a map. No boots on the ground. And those were local BLM offices. Now imagine Salt Lake City. The call to action is clear: the off-road community needs to show up at the table before the restructuring finishes and the table gets moved somewhere else. Jimmy runs through what that looks like in practice. The Mad Hatters just completed their adopted section of the Rubicon Trail. Friends of Fordyce and Friends of Rubicon had a big work weekend. Spree to Four (or the Granite Bandits — Jimmy goes back and forth) does Corral Hollow every year and opens more roads than the county can staff. There’s a work party at Moon Rocks coming up to install 32 named obstacle signs, with BLM permission. And the Barrett Lake blob bathroom project — the one the off-road community funded and built — is now being copied onto Fordyce at Committee Crossing and Wind Chill 3, and at Observation Point on the Rubicon. Tahoe National Forest, which historically does not collaborate with El Dorado National Forest, asked to copy the project. That’s what showing up looks like. How to get involved: contact your local ranger district, come with questions not demands, keep digging until you find the person who can actually answer them. Search Facebook groups for your specific riding area. If nothing exists, start the conversation. For funding, Onyx has their Trail Revival Program live right now — $5,000 grants, Jimmy applied and got one last year, the main ask is media showing the work was done. Tread Lightly and BFG also have trail grant programs. The window for making a real impact is right now, during the restructure, not after it’s done. Also in this episode: today (June 1) is the last day to use the Devos LightRanger 500 group buy discount code. The Russo May giveaway has closed — winner announcement coming Thursday. The June giveaway is not announced yet but Jimmy teases it’s a company they’ve worked with before and it’s a good one. Apple Podcast reviews are approaching 800 (Onyx Elite giveaway waiting at that mark), and Jimmy drops another hint on the big SnailArmor Black Friday launch — “we’ve already changed how inflation and deflation is done globally, and we’re about to do it again.” We have a massive discount this month with Rusoh Fire Extinguishers.

Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment Darragh O'Brien announced a range of new and expanded measures under the New Residential Retrofitting Plan. These new measures included: new windows and doors grants. increased fixed grant levels for attic and cavity wall insultation with values set at up to 80% of median cost; and at up to 100% of median cost for those on qualifying welfare payments and for First Time Buyers (subject to scheme conditions). a greater focus on supports for undertaking retrofit measures on an incremental basis. increased heat pump grants to €12,500. improved grants to support Local Authorities and Approved Housing Bodies. new pilots focused on improving options for heat pump technology, including support for High Temperature Heat Pumps. providing support for older people accessing home energy retrofits under the Healthy Age Friendly Homes initiative. Energy poverty Minister O'Brien is delighted to announce that the Terms and Conditions in relation to the increased Approved Housing Bodies grant rates have now been finalised. These are now available to view on the SEAI's website: www.seai.ie/sites/default/files/publications/CEG-Application-Guidelines.pdf. Minister O'Brien commented: "I am delighted to announce the new grant rates for Approved Housing Bodies and households at risk of energy poverty participating in Community upgrade projects. In the Programme for Government we committed to take decisive action to provide warmer, more comfortable homes – as part of our drive to support energy affordability, security, and sustainability. "In the first quarter of the year, the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) data shows a very positive upward trend with clear evidence of growth in both demand and output. The retrofit sector is mobilising and responding to the growing interest in energy upgrades underpinned by SEAI grant support. Applications to SEAI for individual home energy upgrades are up 186% on Q1 2025, and overall applications are up 96%. "The National Energy Affordability Taskforce, will identify, assess and implement measures to enhance energy affordability for households. This work includes examining how to support increased uptake of home energy efficiency upgrades and continued development of the SEAI retrofit schemes in line with commitments in the Programme for Government." CEO of the SEAI William Walsh said: "These increased grants to Approved Housing Bodies and private, energy poor homes taking part in our community grant scheme, will make a big difference to those that need it most, giving them more control and security over their energy costs. This is how we reduce bills in the long-term — by breaking the link between the costs of running a household and volatile international fossil fuel markets. At SEAI we are here to help, no matter what stage a person is at. I really welcome the Minister's announcement today, which further adds to what is already available to help our most vulnerable." The new grant rates being made available today will support Approved Housing Bodies to upgrade some of their worst performing homes and switch to heat pumps. It will also support the upgrade of more multi-unit developments in Approved Housing Body ownership. New National Residential Retrofit Plan The new National Residential Retrofit Plan (2026) was launched in January. It phased in a range new, more affordable measures. Applications to SEAI so far in 2026 (year-on-year) have doubled. Over 29,000 applications were processed between January and March. These applications included: 7,000 have already applied for windows and doors grants. Grant go to €4,000 for windows; up to €1,600 for doors.

Video podcasting keeps creeping into every corner of the industry, and the PMS cast and crew get into why reshaping podcast hosting may have less to do with audience demand and more to do with platforms racing to keep up with each other. We talk through the growing push from hosting companies adding video support for Apple, Spotify, and YouTube, what that means for indie creators already stretched thin, and whether all this added complexity actually improves the listener experience. You know the one, that feeling when every platform suddenly acts like you're behind if you are not doing the latest thing. That tension sits underneath this whole conversation as reshaping podcast hosting starts changing how creators publish, distribute, and think about their shows moving forward.Episode Highlights:[01:48] Show Updates and Evaluations[03:31] Active Podcast Stats[06:15] DR Top Five Lists[08:52] Grants and Conference[11:47] Creator Business Bite[16:44] Video Hosting News[25:24] Video Listening Habits[30:06] Will It Take Off?[30:39] Podcast Spotlight Pitch[31:46] Upload Once, Distribute Everywhere[34:05] Rob Greenlee Friday Tease[37:01] Podigee Adds Video Support[38:25] Patreon Quips Discovery[40:01] Amazon AI Review Audio[46:21] What Counts as a Podcast?[49:39] Gen Z Buys Old iPods[53:28] Walkman Nostalgia Rabbit Hole[56:52] Wrap-Up and Tomorrow's ShowLinks & Resources:Content Creators Accountant:https://www.contentcreatorsaccountant.com/blog/creators-build-the-business/Apply for your potential $500 grant.

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at what piece of advice that President Ford would give to a student graduating from Northeast. Ford not only shares one piece of advice, but offers multiple insights to help graduates transition into the workforce or continue their education at a four-year college or university. He emphasizes that graduation is not the end of learning, but only the beginning, reminding students that growth continues every single day. Ford encourages graduates to keep showing up, noting that effort is never wasted — even when no one is watching. He highlights the importance of character and integrity as some of the most valuable assets a person can possess, while also stressing the need to remain humble and never forget those who helped along the way. Above all, Ford reminds students that they carry with them their experiences, resilience, and a powerful personal story that declares, “I made it. I am worthy of who I am and where I'm going.” Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

So many founders delay growing their business because funding feels confusing or out of reach. This episode is here to change that, and give you a clearer way to think about how to fund your business growth.If I'm honest, funding is something I didn't really understand for a long time, and I know I won't be the only one.When we hear about funding, it's often things like Dragon's Den or venture capital, and it can feel quite far removed from everyday business. But actually, there are so many different business funding options, and understanding them can completely change how you approach growing your business.In this episode, I'm joined by Hazel Nabarro, founder of Femfinity, and she breaks down how to fund your business growth in a way that feels much more clear and manageable.We talk through the different types of business funding options, including bootstrapping, grants, loans, angel investors, and venture capital, and what each one really looks like in practice.What I found really helpful about this conversation is that it's not just about what's available, it's about how to make the right decision for you and your business, rather than making choices from a place of panic or pressure.So if funding is something you've been thinking about, or you're not sure what your next step should be, this will give you a much clearer picture of how to fund your business growth in a way that actually works for you.Find Hazel here: Website : www.femfinity.co.ukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tofemfinity/LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/hazelnabarro/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/femfinity/Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Hazel and her work in funding and growth03:20 What funding really means and why it is often misunderstood06:00 Bootstrapping and using revenue to fund your business09:30 Grants explained, pros, cons and how to improve your chances15:10 Loans, risks, and what to consider before borrowing18:45 Equity funding, angel investors and how it works23:30 Venture capital explained and whether it is right for you27:50 When to start thinking about funding your business31:20 Revenue first growth and building a sustainable business34:00 Key questions to ask before taking any funding37:00 Can you say no to investors and why due diligence matters38:30 Why increasing female investors is so important41:10 How to become an angel investor and get started44:30 Final advice on making strategic funding decisionsLET'S CONNECTFollow me on YouTubeFind me on InstagramWork with me Buy My Book: Bring Your Product Idea To LifeIf you enjoy this podcast, and you'd like to leave a tip, you can do so here: https://bring-your-product-idea.captivate.fm/supportMentioned in this episode:Free call for Amazon SellersI'm running a free call on 6 May for anyone selling on Amazon (or planning to) who'd like some practical support and a chance to talk things through together.

Steven Aguiar is the CEO and Co-Founder of Ad Grants Pilot, which is "Ad Grants on easy mode. Turn Google's $10,000/month in free ads into real donors and impact — without hiring an agency." Steven is also the Founder of BlueWing Digital, a media company with a focus on community missions.

Steven talks about the Ads Grants process requiring things like conversion tracking, the need to use keywords correctly, quality scores on ads and website for conversion goals. Steven further describes how the tool helps avoid common problems that have occurred in the past and prevented many nonprofits from using the grants.

Alanna Taylor is a visionary leader and strategic architect who has spent three decades transforming bold ideas into fundable realities. With a staggering 60% plus grant win rate and over a million dollars raised annually for her clients, she is a nationally respected expert in program design, funding, and sustainable growth for mission-driven organizations. As the founder of Granted Success, Inc., Alanna specializes in grant writing, fractional executive director services, and her signature Grant-Ready Elevation Audit—a powerful diagnostic tool that evaluates a nonprofit's win-ability across internal operations, messaging, digital footprint, and fundraising strategy. Her work is deeply rooted in empowering Black women executive directors and the Black-centered nonprofit organizations they lead. Takeaways:Founders, Stop Making Yourself the Executive Director: Alanna reveals a critical pattern in the nonprofit space—Black women founders who position themselves as the executive director are inadvertently creating their own boss through the board. Her advice: position yourself as the board chair, build a strong and diverse board, and consider launching a consulting business alongside your mission. If you can create a nonprofit, you can create a business.Win Rate Is About Discipline, Not Just Writing: A 60% plus win rate does not come from fancy proposals—it comes from the discipline to say no. Alanna carefully evaluates every RFP, reviews the terms and conditions at the end that most people skip, and declines clients whose programs do not align with a funder's priority areas. Funders now want quantitative outcomes, not wordy narratives, and Alanna delivers exactly that.Sustainability Means Multiple Revenue Streams: Grants alone will not sustain a nonprofit. Alanna pushes her clients to create fee-for-service offerings, technical assistance programs, merchandise, published books, and private donor bases. Unlike restricted grant funding, these revenue streams give organizations the unrestricted capital they need to truly grow and thrive on their own terms. Sound Bytes:“My because is really meeting the needs of Black women who are in the nonprofit space.” “You're allowed to make money as a nonprofit. You are allowed to generate revenue. You are allowed to create a service and charge for it.” “Look, I'm a great writer, but I am not Jesus. I cannot make this work.” Connect & Discover Alanna:LinkedIn: @alannataylorWebsite: grantedsuccess.orgWebsite: grantreadynow.comEmail: ataylor@grantedsuccess.org

On the April 23 edition: Firefighters continue to battle a devastating wildfire in South Georgia; FEMA approves emergency grants to cover some firefighting costs; And the Bibb County School district in Macon adds 15 electric buses to its fleet.  

What if the hardest part of your fertility journey isn't the medicine, it's affording the best treatment? How do you plan for IVF costs when coverage is unclear or incomplete? And is there a smarter, more supported way to navigate the financial stress of building a family?  In this episode of Brave & Curious, Angela Rastegar, CEO and founder of Sunfish, joins Dr. Lora Shahine. They are honoring National Fertility Week through their conversation that explores the real cost of fertility care and why financial planning is just as critical as medical care. Angela shares her deeply personal fertility journey, including multiple rounds of egg freezing without financial support, and how that experience led her to build a platform designed to support patients through every step of their family-building journey, from egg freezing and IVF to surrogacy. Dr. Shahine and Angela talk about the hidden gaps in insurance coverage, the rising reality of fertility-related debt, and how Sunfish's data-driven, AI-powered programs aim to reduce uncertainty with personalized care plans, cost transparency, and even financial protections for IVF and egg freezing outcomes.

Grants management doesn't always get the spotlight, but it's critical to how public health departments operate and deliver services. In this episode, Colton Anderson, a senior analyst in Public Health Systems Improvement at ASTHO, explains how agencies across the country are rethinking and improving their grants management processes.  From centralizing functions and modernizing systems to refining subrecipient monitoring, departments are finding practical ways to increase efficiency, strengthen compliance, and make better use of funding. Colton shares real-world examples, including innovations in Nebraska and Washington State, and explains how even small, operational changes like better documentation, clearer roles, and improved training, can drive meaningful results.Four Ways Public Health Agencies Are Strengthening Grants Management | ASTHOLeadership Power Hour: Session 5 – The Adaptive LeaderASTHO Learning Opportunity: ACEs Policy & Partnerships Training
