✏️ Suscribirse https://youtu.be/oa0QgTiK7Lw En este episodio 237 de Negocios y WordPress repasamos las novedades más importantes del ecosistema digital: las actualizaciones de Bricks con componentes convertibles a bloques de Gutenberg, las nuevas funcionalidades de ChatGPT (agentes, conectores, compras directas), la comparativa entre Billing y Factura Directa para facturación online, cómo crear un mini CRM con Gravity Forms usando IA, y algunos trucos de CSS para mejorar tus diseños web. También hablamos del nuevo curso de WordPress desde cero, próximas WordCamps y el flujo de trabajo para crear shorts de forma eficiente. Nuevo curso de WordPress desde cero para profesionales Yannick está en plena producción de un curso de WordPress desde cero orientado a profesionales, que será el más completo de YouTube. El curso incluye: Fundamentos de HTML y CSS Diseño de temas a medida Funciones PHP y código personalizado Inteligencia artificial aplicada a WordPress Gutenberg, Elementor, Bricks y otros page builders Sistemas de diseño con Tailwind Plantillas de WooCommerce Roles, formularios, automatizaciones, SEO, seguridad y optimización El curso tendrá unas 50 lecciones (no son cortas) y estará disponible primero en La Máquina de Brandy para miembros de la comunidad. Cuando lleve unas 30 lecciones publicadas, comenzará a subirse semanalmente a YouTube. Novedades en Bricks: La beta que trae funcionalidades potentes Componentes de Bricks convertibles a bloques de Gutenberg Una de las novedades más destacadas es la posibilidad de convertir componentes de Bricks en bloques de Gutenberg con un simple clic derecho. Esto permite que los clientes puedan usar elementos avanzados directamente desde el editor de bloques sin tocar Bricks. Biblioteca de templates Bricks incluye ahora una colección de templates predefinidos muy espartanos, en grises y con lo básico. No son tan elaborados como los de otras bibliotecas, pero sirven como punto de partida. Gestión de queries personalizadas Ahora puedes crear, nombrar y categorizar queries para reutilizarlas en diferentes partes del proyecto. Además, incluye un editor visual para queries de APIs donde puedes ver una vista previa de los objetos JSON, desplegarlos y configurar parámetros de filtrado. Formularios con creación de posts desde frontend Los formularios nativos de Bricks ahora permiten crear y editar posts desde el frontend, reduciendo la necesidad de plugins adicionales. Generador de tipografía fluida Bricks incluye un generador de tipografía fluida que permite definir rápidamente variables CSS para diferentes tamaños de texto, con vista previa en tiempo real. Falta un generador similar para espaciado, pero es un gran avance. ChatGPT: Nuevas funcionalidades y actualizaciones Compras directas en ChatGPT OpenAI ha lanzado la API Instant Checkout, que permite realizar compras directamente desde el chat. Está integrada con Shopify y desarrollada junto a Stripe, y ambas plataformas se llevan comisión por las ventas. Agentes y nuevas capacidades ChatGPT Plus ahora incluye un botón de "Agentes" que permite realizar tareas más autónomas, como navegar por webs, leer archivos o ejecutar acciones complejas. Conectores con Google Calendar y Gmail Se han añadido conectores con Google Calendar y Gmail, facilitando la automatización de tareas cotidianas. Grabación de reuniones Nueva funcionalidad para grabar reuniones y obtener resúmenes ejecutivos automáticos, aunque todavía está en fase inicial. Modo voz y pantalla compartida en móvil Ahora puedes mostrar la cámara y la pantalla en tiempo real desde el móvil, ideal para soporte técnico remoto. Proyectos en ChatGPT La función de proyectos permite subir documentación común y mantener conversaciones organizadas por temas, evitando mezclar contextos. Programar en Cursor con la extensión Codex (OpenAI) Últimamente Elías está usando bastante Cursor para programar, y alguna que otra vez se le termina el uso gratuito. Así que se decidió a probar la extensión de OpenAI, que tiene una funcionalidad similar. La ha estado probando con la clave de API, pero ahora que tiene cuenta de ChatGPT Plus ha podido conectarse con su cuenta y así ahorrar consumo a través de la API. La extensión funciona de forma bastante similar al chat integrado de Cursor, pero no te habilita el autocompletado como hace nativamente. No obstante, tiene una funcionalidad de "autocontexto" que permite enviar los ficheros abiertos y cualquier otro del proyecto si el agente lo necesita. Y por cierto, también te permite elegir el modelo, el modo de uso (chat o full access) y consultar el uso de tokens. Puede ser una buena alternativa si dispones de cuenta de pago de ChatGPT (o no te importa usar la API key) y quieres evitar pagar por un plan de suscripción de Cursor. Facturación online: De Billing a Factura Directa Por qué el cambio de Billing a Factura Directa Elías se cambió de Billing a Factura Directa principalmente por: Falta de integración con Make: Billing prometía compatibilidad con Make desde hace más de un año, pero nunca se implementó. Problemas de usabilidad: Filtros que no funcionaban correctamente (filtrar por "no cobrada" mostraba también facturas anuladas). Proceso de baja complicado: Requiere confirmación por email y elimina todo el acceso histórico inmediatamente. Ventajas de Factura Directa Integración con Zapier (y próximamente Make) Interfaz rápida basada en Material Design Plan gratuito hasta 5 clientes distintos Más opciones de gestión: Apartado de bancos, métodos de pago y configuraciones avanzadas Inconvenientes de Factura Directa Para cobrar una factura hay que seleccionarla primero en la lista y luego ir a un menú desplegable, en lugar de tener un botón directo dentro de la factura. Mini CRM con Gravity Forms y ChatGPT Elías creó un mini plugin con ayuda de ChatGPT que unifica todos los envíos de Gravity Forms en una lista de contactos tipo CRM. El plugin: Muestra una lista de contactos con nombre y email Al hacer clic en un contacto, muestra su historial de envíos Unifica envíos de diferentes formularios por email Se creó en menos de una hora con ayuda de IA (Cursor o Codex) Incluye buscador, paginación y usa las tablas nativas de WordPress Es un ejemplo perfecto de cómo la IA reduce el esfuerzo para crear funcionalidades personalizadas que antes no haríamos por falta de tiempo. Flujo de trabajo para crear shorts de forma eficiente Elías comparte su flujo optimizado para crear shorts del podcast: Descript genera capítulos automáticamente al editar el podcast Revisa los capítulos y selecciona los que tienen potencial para shorts Crea una escena privada con los fragmentos seleccionados Los ordena por interés y los copia a composiciones separadas Edita cada short manualmente (recortes, transcripción corregida) Crea plantillas de CTA (una para WordPress, otra para automatización) Publica en Metricool (2-3 shorts por semana) Sobre Opus Clips: Probó esta herramienta de IA para generar shorts automáticamente, pero los resultados son "una basura comparado con hacértelo tú mismo". Incluso grabando clips perfectos con inicio y final claros, no los corta bien. Sobre Metricool: Permite elegir el frame de portada y hacer clic derecho para guardar la imagen. Está presente en eventos como DSM y Raiola, y publica estudios anuales muy interesantes sobre redes sociales en su blog. Próximas WordCamps y eventos WordCamp Galicia (Pontevedra) Yannick asistirá este fin de semana a la WordCamp Galicia en Pontevedra, donde impartirá un taller práctico sobre cómo montar un proyecto formativo con WordPress: Contenidos restringidos por compra Sistema de cursos sin plugins de pago Opción con código + IA o con plugins como ACF El taller se adaptará a las preferencias de los asistentes (todo con código, híbrido o con plugins). WordCamp San José (Costa Rica) El 1 de noviembre, Yannick estará en la WordCamp San José con una ponencia titulada "Cómo ser arquitecto de páginas web", donde hablará de los diferentes roles en el desarrollo web usando el símil de construir una tienda física: El empleado (usa lo que tiene) El albañil/obrero (usa builders sin guía previa) El arquitecto (planifica estructura y diseño) WordCamp Valencia - WordPress Tech Congress Esa misma semana, Yannick moderará las Lightning Talks en Valencia, charlas de 10 minutos sobre SEO, marketing y WordPress. También presentará "El Semáforo WordPress", una dinámica interactiva donde el público responde con tarjetas (roja, amarilla, verde) a dilemas del día a día con WordPress y clientes. Trucos de CSS y buenas prácticas para diseño web Clases para CTAs principales, secundarios y terciarios Es recomendable tener diferentes niveles de CTAs (principal, secundario, terciario) para jerarquizar la importancia visual de los botones en tus diseños. Clase de lectura con max-width Usar una clase de lectura con max-width: 80ch mejora la legibilidad de los textos largos, evitando líneas demasiado anchas que dificultan la lectura. Padding en ems para coherencia visual Usar padding en em en lugar de píxeles hace que el espaciado interno se adapte automáticamente al tamaño de fuente, manteniendo proporciones coherentes en todos los tamaños. Grids automáticos con tamaños mínimos Tener 2-3 grids predefinidos con auto-fit y tamaños mínimos (300px, 230px) cubre la mayoría de necesidades de layout sin complicaciones. Contenedores con versiones normales y anchas Definir un contenedor normal (900px) y una versión wide facilita la consistencia visual en toda la web. Clase full-height con fallback Usar 100dvh para altura completa es moderno, pero conviene añadir un fallback con 100vh para navegadores antiguos (especialmente Firefox). JetFormBuilder: Pagos recurrentes con Stripe JetFormBuilder ha añadido finalmente la posibilidad de pagos recurrentes con Stripe (ya los tenía con PayPal). Esto facilita crear sistemas de membresía o suscripciones sin necesidad de WooCommerce, solo con el plugin de formularios y algunas configuraciones estructurales. Conclusión: Herramientas que evolucionan, flujos que mejoran Como ves, el ecosistema digital no para de evolucionar. Desde las novedades en Bricks y ChatGPT, pasando por la gestión de facturación online, la automatización con IA y los trucos de diseño web, estar al día marca la diferencia. ¿Qué herramienta te ha sorprendido más? ¿Usas alguna de estas en tu día a día? Nos encantaría conocer tu experiencia.

In this episode of the 2Tokens Podcast, host Jos Röling welcomes Vincent van Kalkeren and Ali Karademir from EUTO Energy to explore how software-defined solutions are transforming the way we manage electricity grids.EUTO Energy is addressing one of today's most urgent challenges in the energy transition: net congestion. As electrification accelerates and renewable energy sources grow, traditional, hardware-centric systems are no longer sufficient to manage the increasingly dynamic and decentralized flow of power. EUTO's answer is a virtualized, software-centric energy network that makes grids smarter, more flexible, and far more efficient.During this conversation, we cover:The problem of net congestion: why current distribution networks are hitting their limits and how this impacts businesses and consumers.Traditional vs. software-defined approaches: how EUTO replaces dozens of hardware devices with a single software stack that can adapt in real time.Adaptive protection and control: enabling dynamic safety margins instead of static settings, unlocking hidden capacity in existing infrastructure.Real-world applications: from substations and transmission grids to industrial parks, microgrids, and even island-based off-grid projects.Business model implications: how utilities and operators used to think in 30-year hardware lifecycles, and how subscription-based, service-driven models are changing the landscape.Cybersecurity and reliability: ensuring that cloud and edge-based solutions remain secure, redundant, and trusted by operators.EUTO Energy's vision draws inspiration from the telecom industry's transformation, where intelligence shifted from hardware to software decades ago. Today, they are bringing the same paradigm shift to the energy sector — unlocking grid flexibility, reducing costs, and enabling a more reliable and sustainable energy system.

In this week's episode, we chat with Max about Seattle-appropriate doula gifts, the TTRPG version of porn brain, and the concept of exploration in TTRPGs. This season, we're experimenting with shorter conversations about how people play games. We first spoke with Max way back in Season 2, and we wanted to keep talking about OSR games, so we convinced Max to come back for another round. This is one of our most game theory-focused interviews, especially when we're talking about incentives and objectives in TTRPGs. If you're interested in why so many older systems treated gold as XP, this episode is for you.Throughout the conversation, Jake and Max both keep saying "D&D". However, the actual system Max is using is Shadowdark. Jake kind of regrets this inaccuracy, but also it feels like "D&D" becoming a generic term for TTRPGs and losing its trademark protections (like "aspirin" or "thermos" or "escalator") would be a funny outcome of its cultural dominance.If you like the music on the show, go check out more of Reilly's music.  You can also listen to Reilly's DJ sets on Mixcloud.Follow us wherever you get your podcasts, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

In dieser Episode von Energiezone begeben wir uns auf eine spannende Reise in die Welt der Elektromobilität, aufgenommen im Pressezentrum der Intersolar Messe in München. Der Fokus liegt auf der E-Mobilität, allerdings nicht nur auf den grundlegenden Aspekten aus der Perspektive der Verbraucher, sondern auch auf systematischen Betrachtungen, die diesen Bereich in seiner Gesamtheit beleuchten. Mit den Experten Johanna von Neon Neue Energie Ökonomik und Marcus, Geschäftsführer von The Mobility House, beleuchten wir ein gemeinsames Projekt namens Grids and Benefits, das Bestrebungen hervorhebt, die E-Mobilität und das Energiesystem miteinander zu verflechten. Diese Episode ist sowohl für Einsteiger als auch für Profis geeignet. Johanna bringt ihre Perspektive aus der Neurobiologie und die damit verbundene Forschungserfahrung mit ins Spiel, während Marcus, ein Veteran der Branche, über die Entwicklung und Optimierung von Batterien im Kontext der E-Mobilität spricht. Das Gespräch deckt die wesentlichen Herausforderungen und Chancen der E-Mobilität ab, insbesondere die Frage, wie Elektroautos als flexible Energieressourcen genutzt werden können, um das Energiesystem in schwierigen Zeiten zu stabilisieren und die Kosten weiter zu senken. Ich habe mit Marcus und Johanna diskutiert, wie Flexibilität im Energiesystem entscheidend ist. Interessanterweise könnte die Integration von Elektroautos als mobile Batteriespeicher eine Lösung für die Herausforderungen im Betrieb der Stromnetze darstellen. Wir haben herausgearbeitet, dass nicht die erneuerbaren Energien an sich, sondern der Netzausbau für die Integration der Kosten verantwortlich ist. Wir klären auch, welche intelligenten Technologien benötigt werden, um das Netz effizient zu digitalisieren. Das Projekt Grids and Benefits ist einzigartig, da es ein gemeinschaftliches Vorhaben ist, das von großen Playern der Branche – darunter Netzbetreiber und Automobilhersteller – getragen wird. Anders als viele theoretische Forschungsprojekte ist dies ein praktisches Umsetzungsprojekt. Wir haben konkrete Beispiele und Herausforderungen angesprochen, die zeigen, wie wichtig es ist, die Theorie in die Praxis umzusetzen und die Akteure zusammenzubringen, um innovative Ansätze zu entwickeln, die effektiven Nutzen bringen. Zum Abschluss präsentierte ich die Kernziele des Projekts: die Schaffung eines intelligenten und flexiblen Netzes, das durch präzise Netzentgelte und Anreizsysteme gefördert werden soll. Wir wollen herausfinden, wie Elektromobilität in die Zukunft des europäischen Energiesystems integriert werden kann und was das für die Verbraucher bedeutet. Die unzähligen Möglichkeiten, die dieses Projekt eröffnet, zeigen, dass Erneuerbare Energien und die elektromobile Zukunft eine Schlüsselrolle in der Transformation des Energiesystems spielen.

For full episode and all deep dive episodes please subscribe Part one of a two-part deep dive into the grid and how it has quietly shaped our personal and social realities throughout history. From the invention of the brick to the birth of the spreadsheet, tracing the grid's influence across architecture, urban planning, culture, and technology.Starting with the brick-“equal parts mortar and module,” tied to the proportions of the human hand—and follow its logic through systems like the tablet, gridiron city plans (like Mohenjo-daro), maps, musical notation, ledgers, the screen and the moveable type, setting the stage for digital forms to come.Along the way, we talk Le Corbusier, the Swiss grid system of Josef Müller-Brockmann, the design of Instagram, and Lotus 1-2-3. This is a mellow research-based episode on how grids both liberate and constrain the ways we live, think, and create.Cited: Hannah B. Higgins The Grid Book

It's Independence Day here in the USA, but if you're not a fan of fireworks and hot dogs, Elliot and Dan's rundown of the best hacks of the week is certainly something to celebrate. Rest easy, because nothing exploded, not even the pneumatic standing desk that [Matthias] tore into, nor the electroplated 3D prints that [H3NDRIK] took a blowtorch to. We both really loved the Ploopiest knob you've ever seen, which would be even Ploopier in anodized aluminum, as well as an automatic book scanner that takes its job very seriously. We looked into the mysteries of the Smith chart, another couple of fantastic student projects out of Cornell, the pros and cons of service loops, and what happened when the lights went out in Spain last Spring. And what does Janet Jackson have against laptops anyway?

Adam Helman has spent his entire career in emergency management. But after working for the New York State Department of Health during the COVID pandemic, he wanted something new. So in 2023, Adam moved from responding to a public health emergency to responding to the climate emergency, in addition to other hazards utilities have dealt with for decades. Just two years into his role as director of emergency services for the energy services company Avangrid, he's already seen a number of back-to-back emergencies caused by everything from winter storms to gas leaks.This week on With Great Power, Adam shares with Brad some of the ways that Avangrid's emergency response operations are evolving as intense weather and other hazards put more physical and mental stress on first responders. They also discuss why  meteorologists play an increasingly vital role in utility emergency response, and how utilities are integrating new threats, like wildfires in the Northeast, into their planning.With Great Power is a co-production of GridX and Latitude Studios.  Subscribe on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere you get podcasts.

Troy Helming is building the future of infrastructure with EarthGrid, a company developing an underground super grid network of tunnels across North America using revolutionary plasma torch technology. As a serial entrepreneur who founded two unicorns in the renewable energy space, Troy brings decades of experience in wind and solar power to solving one of the most critical infrastructure challenges of our time. EarthGrid has raised $63 million and secured an $18 billion joint venture commitment from the Kuwait Investment Authority to build 10,000 miles of underground tunnels over the next decade. Topics Discussed: EarthGrid's mission to build an underground super grid network using plasma torch excavation technology The massive infrastructure challenge of transmission line development in the United States Troy's journey from early solar exposure 45 years ago to founding multiple renewable energy companies The regulatory breakthrough of becoming a telecommunications utility in 46 states Overcoming the "supply problem, not demand problem" with over 20,000 potential customers in their pipeline The $18 billion joint venture with Kuwait Investment Authority's Enertech subsidiary Plasma torch technology's ability to cut through hard granite and other materials conventional machines cannot handle The vision for moving freight and eventually people through underground tunnel networks GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Choose industries with structural supply-demand imbalances: Troy has successfully built three consecutive companies where demand far exceeds supply, eliminating the need for traditional sales teams. He specifically targets infrastructure sectors where "the need is so acute and there aren't that many companies doing it, and the ones that are, the demand exceeds the supply." B2B founders should research industries with massive unmet demand and limited competition, particularly in infrastructure where the barriers to entry are high but the market need is desperate. Solve regulatory risks early through strategic positioning: Rather than fighting regulatory battles, Troy transformed EarthGrid into a regulated telecommunications utility, gaining rights to build under public roads in 46 states representing 97% of US GDP. This strategic move eliminated the primary risk factor that kills most infrastructure projects. B2B founders should identify their biggest regulatory or compliance risks early and find creative ways to work within existing frameworks rather than against them. Build resilience through failure conditioning: Troy's experience with rock climbing and American Ninja Warrior taught him to "overcome the fear of people looking at you when you might fail" and to "shake it off, get back up and go again." After pitching over 2,000 times with a 97% rejection rate, he learned to treat fundraising as a numbers game rather than personal rejection. B2B founders should actively seek experiences that condition them for repeated failure, whether through athletics, public speaking, or other challenging pursuits that build mental resilience. Validate demand before building supply: EarthGrid already has "close to 20,000 potential customer contacts" and over 50 signed letters of intent before fully commercializing their technology. Troy validates market demand through extensive research and customer outreach before investing in full product development. B2B founders should spend significant time understanding their market's pain points and securing early customer commitments before building complex solutions. Leverage personal capital for strategic advantage: Troy's ability to "wait to start your company until you have enough money in the bank" prevents short-term financial pressures from forcing poor strategic decisions. His personal investment in EarthGrid (part of the $63 million raised) demonstrates commitment to investors while providing operational flexibility. B2B founders should consider how personal financial runway affects their ability to make optimal long-term decisions rather than being forced into suboptimal short-term choices.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

We have recently witnessed spectacular black outs: South Australia 2016, Texas Uri 2021, California 2020-21-25 and Iberia 2025. We are not even mentioning fragile grids in the Global South.  We will do an episode on those blackouts later this year.The U.S. electrical grid, now over a century old, struggles to meet modern demands. Utilities are slow to adapt, and supply chains are congested, posing challenges for accommodating new load developments like datacenters and AI while ensuring reliable, affordable power for existing customers.Jereme Kent, an engineer with practical expertise, is tackling these issues head-on. As the leader of One Power (an Ohio-based industrial power company) Kent champions customer-centric, decarbonized power grids. One Power delivers innovative, renewable-focused energy solutions, empowering industrial clients to manage costs and emissions through on-site wind power, EV charging hubs, and other advanced infrastructure. This approach challenges the outdated utility model, embodying a "Utility 2.0" vision.A key innovation lies in transformer design: shifting from bespoke to modular, standardized systems to enhance efficiency and scalability. Kent also highlights the advantages of renewable energy, noting that power purchase agreements (PPAs) for renewables can extend up to 20 years, compared to just three years for gas. Additionally, small behind-the-meter batteries play a critical role in stabilizing energy supply and optimizing costs.Digital tools and software are another focus, where Kent offers unexpected insights, emphasizing practical, streamlined solutions over complex systems. He points to SMUD, a progressive utility in Sacramento, California, as a model for grid management. SMUD's forward-thinking strategies have yielded impressive results, setting a benchmark for others to follow.In the realm of transformer technology, Kent advocates for "dumb simplicity," inspired by the German motto “Stumpf ist Trumpf” (simple is best). Surprisingly, he notes that animal interference, such as birds, is a leading cause of transformer failures, underscoring the need for robust, straightforward designs.To borrow from the Rolling Stones, “You can't always get what you want, but you might just get what you need.” Kent's pragmatic innovations are paving the way for a resilient, sustainable energy future.    We thank Abloco Energy, premier European lessor of mobile batteries, for supporting the show.

As electricity systems decarbonise, the nature of flexibility is fundamentally shifting. Where grid operators once relied on fossil fuel generation to follow demand, today's energy systems are increasingly turning to the demand side for flexibility. With more electric vehicles, heat pumps, and behind-the-meter batteries connecting to the grid every day, the potential for distributed assets to support reliability and earn revenue, is rapidly growing.But tapping into that flexibility at scale is no small task. It requires coordination, intelligent optimisation, and a clear route into energy markets. In this episode of Transmission, we explore how software platforms are making it possible to turn thousands of individual devices into aggregated resources that respond dynamically to grid needs. From flexibility markets and revenue stacking to the evolving role of energy suppliers and the economics of decentralised participation, this conversation breaks down how the grid is being rebalanced from the bottom up.Quentin is Joined by Co-Founder & CEO of Axle Energy - Karl Bach. Over the conversation they cover:From load to resource: How electrification of heating, cooling, and transport is transforming grid demand into flexible capacity.Virtual power plants in action: What it takes to orchestrate hundreds of thousands of distributed devices across diverse asset classes.Consumer value meets system need: Why aligning grid requirements with consumer benefit is critical to unlocking participation.The platform model: How software intermediaries are enabling hardware providers and energy retailers to enter flexibility markets.Distributed flexibility as capex-light infrastructure: Why aggregating existing assets may offer faster returns than building new ones.About our guest:Karl Bach is the co-founder and CEO of Axle Energy, a platform that enables distributed energy assets - from EVs and heat pumps to residential batteries, to participate in electricity and flexibility markets. With over a gigawatt of connected capacity, Axle works behind the scenes to optimise assets and unlock value for hardware providers, energy suppliers, and the grid.

Last week, Europe experienced its worst blackout in living memory, which plunged tens of millions of people across Spain and Portugal into darkness for up to 18 hours. Life screeched to a halt, with trains, traffic lights, ATMs, phone connections, and internet access failing. In the aftermath, many important questions have arisen, including: what caused such a widespread grid failure, and how can Europe and other nations prepare for the next time an event like this happens?  In today's episode, Nate is joined by Pedro Prieto to discuss the recent blackout in the Iberian Peninsula, exploring its causes, impacts, and the role of renewable energy in the stability of the electric grid. Prieto highlights the societal and infrastructural challenges that his home country faced, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach to energy management, as well as the interconnectedness of energy systems and societal resilience. The discussion delves into the complexities of energy demand and supply, the importance of backup systems, and the future of renewable energy in Spain. Are developed countries more vulnerable to blackouts than those that are still developing? How does renewable energy act as a double-edged sword, adding stability or fragility to energy infrastructure, depending on how it's used? How might developed countries learn lessons from this widespread blackout, including policy changes or reducing energy dependence in the face of future energy challenges? (Conversation recorded on May 1st, 2025)   About Pedro Prieto: Pedro is the vice president of the Asociación para el Estudio de los Recursos Energéticos (AEREN). AEREN is an open space for debate and communications on energy issues and their role in demography, development, economy and ecology. Pedro was a member of the board at ASPO International with AEREN representing ASPO in Spain. Since 2004, Pedro has led several solar photovoltaic projects in Spain, a leading world country in solar PV penetration. Pedro co-authored Spain's Photovoltaic Revolution.

Highlights:1) The deeper energetic Planetary Templates and Existence Templates frameworks?2) The Grids that Create Creation?3) Helping individuals access these hidden layers4) How the Christ Consciousness template operates?My guest, Georgia Jean had a “knock you to the floor” spiritual event in 2004 where she connected with The Circle of Light, a non-physical collective supporting humanity through the evolutionary shift. She spontaneously developed the ability to channel them verbally and transmit their frequencies energetically. Since then, through thousands and thousands of transmissions, they have shared one of the most comprehensive overviews of how the Matrix of reality is created. And most importantly, how we can generate radical shifts to assist both personal and collective evolution. Assisting humanity to move from a 3D to 5D reality is their specialty. Georgia and the Circle of Light are Amazon bestselling authors, and have been featured on Gaia TV. You can catch the full story of her spiritual event on the podcast “Coming Out of the Cosmic Closet” and explore the broad depth of the Circle of Light's wisdom through the new podcast Spread Your Third Eye with Mia Reitz, and through the Circle Evolution University.

In this mind-expanding episode, Kelly unpacks the foundational science of creation through Keylontic particle physics, exploring how partiki, the smallest conscious energy units, form the fabric of all matter, consciousness, and morphogenetic structure in the cosmos of external creation. She breaks down the Three Primal Life Force Currents—ManU (neutral), EirA (magnetic), and ManA (electrical)—which give birth to the partiki, and how these particles evolve into particum and partika through a process of fission-fusion known as Partiki Cycling. This cycling not only drives manifestation but also initiates a backflow current—the energetic pathway back to Source.Kelly also explains how partiki units form Partiki Strands and Grids, the invisible carpet of living light and sound that connects all beings to God-Source and to each other.From there, she dives into Keylons—crystalline structures of sound and light that form the morphogenetic templates for the human body, DNA, and multidimensional identity—and Keylon Codes, the complex patterns that “flesh out” the energy architecture behind all manifest forms.This episode is a profound journey into the divine mechanics of creation and a reminder that you are made of living, intelligent light and sound.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/DKFs2ZX-VzsFollow Kelly:https://kellydillon.com/https://www.instagram.com/kelldillon/https://www.facebook.com/kellydillontv/https://twitter.com/kelly_dillonhttp://tiktok.com/@kelldillonUpcoming Classes Kelly is teaching: https://kellydillon.com/classes/The truth will truly set us free.

It's public space night, and the wide ranging group discussion ensues. Grant joins Tore for the evening. Bringing people along slowly takes a strategy. Credible information can be fed to soft prime the world. It's disclosure, but a gentle one. Thru whistle blowers works great. We are actually in Phase II. There's more than one Arc Of The Covenant. Science created one version. Huh? Planet X could raise gravitational havoc. Why would NASA be hinting? Poles have flipped before, but we didn't depend on tech back then. Another Y2K? Pyramids exist all over the world. Advanced ancient tech is a good bait subject. Tesla terrorists could be planted. Bergrum and the contract tracing app. What did Jesus study in the unknown years. Was alchemy on the list? Religion as a whip has been very effective. When two or more gather, that's a church. They hijacked all religions, not just Christianity. How important is your faith to you? Dialing God's number outside the space. Focusing on life's purpose, which is service to others. And, it's reciprocal. The essence of the Koran is actually love. The big question remains, is free will there too? Going to bliss without Netflix. The pyramids might be at the epicenter of what's to come. Love yourself and God, then the rest will come naturally.
