In this episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Chris Calwell, Adjunct Professor of a graduate course on International Renewable Energy at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in Monterey, CA. He is also a Principal at Ecos Research, focusing on clean energy technologies and their transformation in our society. His other passion, outside of Ecos Research, is proactively investing in cleantech and tracking down the companies that are doing the best job of preventing climate change, as opposed to running down a checklist of bad things companies aren't doing if you want to buy their stock.Chris is an internationally recognized expert operating at the intersection of the technologies and policies needed to address climate change, particularly in the fields of energy storage, electric vehicles, and renewable energy. He and Ted discuss his background, born in Independence, Missouri, grew up in Topeka, Kansas, and attended Trinity University in San Antonio, earning a degree in Environmental Studies. He then went on to Berkeley and joined the Energy Resources Group (ERG), which led him to his first summer job at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).Chris served seven years in the NRDC Energy Program, helping to launch NRDC's work on climate change, electric vehicles, and voluntary partnerships with electric utilities to improve residential energy efficiency. Chris then co-founded Ecos Consulting in 1997, working with a team of researchers on behalf of the U.S. EPA ENERGY STAR® program, the California Energy Commission, PG&E, NRDC, NEEA, NYSERDA and Natural Resources Canada to improve the energy efficiency of residential lighting, appliances, power supplies and consumer electronics through voluntary labeling and incentive programs and mandatory efficiency standards. He and Ted dig into his works in consumer electronics and the external power supply story. They discuss Eco's startling revelations about the standard test for television efficiency at the time, as well as cleantech investment. He shares that he continues to do consulting work in the Energy Star world, and is currently in discussions with them on some additional work related to batteries and EVs.

Since we started The Money Barrel Podcast, so many of you, the listeners, have asked questions about incentive programs, or asked for an episode about current incentives. Kayla took some time to really look into as many of the incentives as she could and bring you a ton of information. From the Royal Crown, to the Buckles, from the diamond classic, to our very own Colorado Classic, Kayla really digs into so many events. Our goal on this episode is to hopefully give you some insight into which of these incentives best fits you and your program, but it is important that you look into the incentives you are interested in yourself. There is a ton of information out there, and we know that so many of these incentive producers would be glad to help you get a better understanding of their events and how you can get involved, so don't forget to do your homework. This episode is brought to you by Cosequin Equine.

The Department of Commerce has 5 major incentive programs that it uses to incent economic development in Kansas. Those programs are the High Performance Incentive Program (HPIP), Job Creation Fund (JCF), Kansas Industrial Training (KIT), Kansas Industrial Retraining (KIR), and Promoting Employment Across Kansas (PEAK). As part of this audit, we used a research-based model to estimate the economic impacts, tax effects, and total return on investment for 28 projects that we selected. Based on model results from those 28 projects, we estimate all 5 of Commerce's major economic development incentive programs will generate positive total returns on investment. However, we estimate they won't cover their own costs to the state through higher tax revenues. For example, all 5 programs appeared to generate economic impacts that are greater than their costs. But none of the programs appear to generate enough tax effects to cover their costs.

Today we are delighted to speak to Samir Uberoi, one of the three partners of Designer Incentives & Conferences! Samir has had a fascinating journey! In this episode, he tells his story, and talks about what it means to do an incentive trip in India. He dives into what it takes to be a business owner and go through the rollercoaster life of an entrepreneur. He also shares some stories to inspire business owners, discusses his hopes and dreams for the future, and offers advice for entrepreneurs. We hope you enjoy today's captivating conversation with Samir Uberoi! Bio: Samir Uberoi is one of the three partners of Designer Incentives & Conferences, a DMC based in India. Designer Incentives and Conferences is considered a pioneer in the UK for the MICE segment to India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bhutan. Samir has over 30 years of experience in the travel industry and has personally accompanied and been involved with the planning and operation of virtually all of the MICE programs of Designer Incentives & Conferences in these destinations. Travel is not just his profession but also his passion! Samir's story Samir studied finance in college. After graduating in 1990, he went to New York City to start a career as an investment banker. He ran into an acquaintance who used to be with a financial company. He was working for a travel company. When Samir asked him for some contacts in the finance world, he explained that he was about to start operating in India and invited Samir to his office to help him with his India program. He then offered him a job. Samir loved the world of travel and has never looked back since then! Designer holidays Samir's business partners started offering designer holidays in 1990. Then in 1995, they invited Samir to go back to India to join them. He agreed and he and his wife returned to Mumbai to join their designer holiday company, which specialized in tours and groups. They later started along the route of doing designer incentives. A mindset shift Samir started in a senior position at Designer Holidays and worked his way to a partnership. Switching from an employee to a business partner required a complete mindset shift. It was not easy because he had to learn to function in an entirely new way and take on a lot of responsibility. Designer Incentives In 1995, Samir's partners received a request from a tour operating principal in France to handle some of their incentives in India, and they invited Samir to travel with them. They were all surprised to discover how interesting and challenging it was to do incentives rather than tours. They needed to make it clear that they were doing incentives, conferences, and MICE, as well as tours. They established Designer Incentives & Conferences as an offshoot of Designer Holidays so that people could identify what they were doing from an incentive and conferencing perspective. A challenge When they started doing incentives, they had to learn a lot! The challenge was to educate themselves first and then teach their partners, the hotels, and everyone they worked with that an incentive is not a tour group. Sri Lanka and Nepal They also work with Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bhutan. They feel fortunate to have worked in destinations where they could help people understand the difference between an incentive and a tour group. Bhutan Bhutan is not a party destination and is only suitable for more discerning groups. Even so, those who have been there described it as a trip of a lifetime! Samir believes that the post-pandemic Bhutan will become a sought-after experience because it is so interesting, and the people there are so happy! The rollercoaster of running a business Over the last thirty years, India has experienced some incredible changes. When Designer Incentives & Conferences was founded, in 1990, the country was very different from how it is today. Starting a business was a big challenge. Samir and his partners had many unforeseen issues to deal with, yet they still enjoyed building their team of about fifty people and developing close relationships with everyone. They loved both the challenge and the joy of starting and owning a business. Starting and growing a business As a business grows, new problems tend to arise, like staffing issues and problems with authorities. Those issues can be both challenging and rewarding. Even though you can usually foresee a few issues when you start a business, you will only get to know the real joys and challenges when you do it. Big problems When they started the business, Samir and his partners faced challenging times and dealt with big problems specific to India that affected their business badly. Fortunately there were three of them to support one another and overcome the issues with the help of their resourceful team. Samir and his partners Samir and his partners are all very different people. It has been helpful at times in terms of creativity but challenging when they had opposing points of view. Samir's hope for the future In Samir's experience, the positives of owning a business have far outweighed the challenges. He hopes to stay in business for at least another thirty years. Communication During Covid, the vital thing for Samir and his partners was communication. They decided to be honest with their team about whatever they could and could not do. Tough decisions They had to make some tough decisions, but the priority was always to look after the team. Downsizing They decided to downsize at the end of 2020 and work from a smaller space with a reduced team. Now, Samir is feeling motivated and enthusiastic about the business and hopes to rebuild it as things continue to improve. Samir's quotes: “When we started doing incentives, it was a learning process.” "In life, good friends are what makes it all worthwhile!" “The challenge was to educate our partners, the hotels, and all the people we worked with that an incentive is not a tour group.” “We have been fortunate to work in destinations where one can bring about a bit of change in the process of the realization of the difference between an incentive and a tour group.” “It has been fantastic! It has been fascinating, it's been challenging, but it has been rewarding as well!” “I think Bhutan is going to be the next interesting destination because post-pandemic, people will look for more of those sorts of experiences which are going to be quite interesting.” “You have to pivot to be relevant today.” Connect with Eric On LinkedIn On Facebook On Instagram On Website Connect with Samir Uberoi On the Designer Incentives & Conferences website Samir Uberoi on LinkedIn Designer Incentives & Conferences, India on LinkedIn
