In the world of oil and gas operations, edge devices are mission-critical. These compact, intelligent sensors operate in the most extreme of environments, such as remote drill sites, deep wells, and hostile landscapes, where they continuously collect operational data. Best in class operators don't just throw digital at the field. They prioritize efficiency, reliability, and integrity at the edge, where human oversight is limited, infrequent, and mostly absent. But the drive to digitize oilfield infrastructure raises major challenges: reliable power, cyber threats, temperature extremes, and real-time decision-making without cloud access. David Smith, VP of Innovation at Black Pearl Technology, shares how his team builds micro-powered, field-tough sensors that handle pre-processing on-site, sip power in microamps, and run mission-critical code on the edge to avoid failures. MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) is enabling a new era of industrial sensing, complete with cyber-safe hardware that controls every component. Innovation must always serve a real-world problem—not just be a shiny gadget. From strain gauges to AI-at-the-edge, David offers an inside look into the future of smarter, safer, and smaller industrial tech.

Mental Toughness Mastery Podcast with Sheryl Kline, M.A. CHPC
http://www.sherylkline.com/blogIn this captivating Fearless Female Leadership interview, I sat down with Bernadette Berger, Director of Innovation at Alaska Airlines, to explore what it truly means to drive innovation in a time of massive change. From her early career rejections to becoming a leader shaping the future of air travel, Bernadette's story is a powerful reminder of the courage it takes to keep showing up—and the vision it takes to build what doesn't exist yet.Bernadette's path began in industrial design, not aviation, and after 29 job interview rejections, she finally broke through with Teague—Boeing's premier aircraft design partner. There, she spent over a decade experimenting, learning new skills, and eventually helping design next-gen aircraft interiors and experiences. Her innovation philosophy? Don't aim to fix everything at once—ask what would need to be true to solve the problem at hand.Now at Alaska Airlines, Bernadette leads innovation across the organization, helping unify cross-functional teams around a shared future vision. Her approach combines emerging tech, customer empathy, and a commitment to making life better for both employees and travelers.This conversation is packed with insight, heart, and actionable wisdom for anyone navigating change, leading teams, or simply trying to make things better.Key takeaways from the interview:0:01:05 – Bernadette's career began in industrial design, where her passion for physical interaction led her to aviation design unexpectedly.0:02:10 – After 29 rejections, she landed a role at Teague, working on Boeing jet interiors—proof that persistence pays off.0:03:38 – Her early training in dance taught her to focus on effort over outcomes, a mindset that fuels her resilience.0:05:36 – Every three years, she intentionally expanded her skill set—from lighting to audio to material design—to stay curious and relevant.0:06:45 – Her favorite work centers on “future casting”: envisioning how we'll travel years from now and reverse-engineering the steps.0:07:50 – A brief stint outside aviation confirmed that her passion is people—and the journeys they take.0:09:16 – Innovation at Alaska is guided by a 3–5 year horizon: close enough to test, far enough to transform.0:10:45 – Innovation is distributed across teams, with shared goals and ownership—not siloed in one department.0:12:57 – Empowered employees are key: Alaska's values “Be Remarkable” and “Do the Right Thing” guide tech-enabled, human-centered service.0:15:41 – Her favorite innovation prompt? “What would need to be true?”—a question that breaks down even the most complex challenges.If you're interested in being featured on the Fearless Female Leadership podcast, or you're a leader looking to gain clarity on ‘what's next', how to build more cohesive and high-performing teams, and lead with greater confidence and influence, let's have a confidential conversation.Cheering you on always!– Sheryl

From balloon internet, drone delivery, and self-driving cars, Alphabet's X chief Astro Teller reveals how the company systematically chases the impossible!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1183What We Discuss with Astro Teller:Alphabet's X systematically approaches moonshots by requiring three elements: a huge problem, a radical proposed solution, and breakthrough technology that gives a chance — not guarantee — of success.Prototype cheaply and fast to test assumptions. The agricultural robot started as bicycle wheels, PVC tubing, laptop, GoPro and duct tape — not expensive equipment.Bring regulators into the process early as partners rather than waiting until the end. They become collaborators when included in the journey, not obstacles.Detach identity from ideas. People who tie self-worth to specific concepts struggle at X. Success comes from being great at filtering ideas, not being right about yours.Ask yourself: "How fast and cheaply can I get evidence I'm wrong?" Focus on rapid, inexpensive tests that provide real-world data about your assumptions.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Despite uncertainty for US clean energy investors, things are looking good for the geothermal sector. US$1.7 billion in public funding was pumped into geothermal projects in Q1 this year - 85% of 2024's entire annual allocation – as breakthrough technologies promise to transform untapped resources into commercially viable clean energy projects.Enhanced geothermal and advanced geothermal technologies are making geothermal energy accessible anywhere, not just at existing sites chosen for their high-temperatures.To explore the science behind EGS and AGS, host Sylvia Leyva Martinez is joined by John Plack, VP of engineering at Ameresco. John explains how techniques adapted from the oil and gas sector, like directional drilling and reservoir stimulation, are improving geothermal's commercial viability. John shares what's changed since the IRA's passage, the role of EGS, and why improved subsurface mapping is critical to unlocking investment.Geothermal is currently supplying less than 1% of global energy needs, but could provide 15% of worldwide power by 2050. The US leads global geothermal power production, yet its 4 GW of installed capacity leaves vast resources untapped. Total potential US geothermal capacity exceeds 500 GW, with the best sites in western states featuring temperatures above 150°C and heat flow rates exceeding 80 milliwatts per square metre.Investment is there, and the technology is there, so has the impact of the Trump administration's energy policy been lighter for geothermal than other sectors like wind and solar?

How did a 180-year-old Italian digestif become one of America's most beloved bar staples? Though Fernet-Branca has enjoyed a storied legacy in Europe since its creation in 1845, it remained a niche curiosity in the United States for much of its life. The intensely bitter, herbal liqueur was appreciated only by the most adventurous palates. Today, however, it's a fixture behind the bar from upscale cocktail lounges to neighborhood dive bars, most often knocked back in shot form and celebrated for its distinct flavor profile. Who better to trace Fernet-Branca's unlikely rise than Edoardo Branca, managing director of Branca USA and a sixth-generation member of the family behind the brand? We caught up with Edoardo at spirits industry trade show Bar Convent Brooklyn to talk about how Fernet-Branca earned its cult status in the U.S. He shared insights on the brand's roots, its journey from obscure digestif to bartender favorite, and how the company is carefully evolving to stay relevant in a fast-changing drinks culture. From navigating pricing pressures to expanding the Branca USA portfolio with modern, consumer-focused offerings, Edoardo explains how he is stewarding a legacy while embracing innovation. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Edoardo Branca, Managing Director, Branca USA – Eduardo talks about his journey from Milan (he's an Inter fan) to Southern California and ultimately to New York. He also discusses his current role in which he oversees U.S. operations and highlights the most personally rewarding aspect of his job. Edorado explains how Fernet Branca became popular within the bartender community after gaining traction as a popular shot in 1990s San Francisco, the emotional resonance many have with their first Fernet experience and reflects on the global cultural differences in how it's consumed. He acknowledges generational shifts and concerns about declining alcohol consumption among younger drinkers, but expresses confidence that appreciation for spirits and bar culture will mature with age and experience. Edorado also talks about the growing Branca portfolio, noting that lower-ABV products like Antica Formula vermouth align with growing health-conscious trends and also shares his philosophy on mergers and acquisitions.

How do you transform banks that have been built over centuries for a world where artificial intelligence operates 10 times faster than the digital revolution? We're not just talking about implementing new technology; we're reimagining banking for customers who interact daily with AI assistants and may soon entrust their money management entirely to intelligent systems. However, banks that rush into action without understanding their organizational and cultural legacies will find their investments yielding disappointing results.

Abim breaks down how technology can accelerate outcomes only when deployed safely, how AI is reshaping how organizations detect and act on risk, and why relevance is the new currency for both businesses and educators.Listen to learn:Why tech is only an accelerant if you deliver it safelyHow AI helps businesses “listen for risk” and act with foresightWhat schools can learn from client-centric models in businessHow Northwestern Mutual is balancing tradition with transformationWhy critical thinking—not just tools—is the real superpower3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Audit is no longer just about compliance—it's about enabling innovation. Abim Kolawole views audit as a strategic partner that delivers foresight, insights, and confidence to help a company grow safely. By using data, analytics, and a future-focused mindset, internal audit can help organizations place smarter bets, not just avoid bad ones.2. Technology only accelerates value when it's implemented with trust and purpose. At Northwestern Mutual, cloud migration and emerging tech like AI are approached with a “safe by design” mindset that includes cross-functional vetting and intentional guardrails. Abim emphasizes that skipping this step puts long-term client trust—and company relevance—at risk.3. Education leaders can learn from the client-centric models used in business. Just like Northwestern Mutual redesigned the advisor and client experience using design thinking, educators must reimagine the student and teacher experience before introducing new tools. Critical thinking, not technology alone, is the foundation of a truly transformative education.Resources in this Episode:To learn more about Northwestern Mutual, visit: www.northwesternmutual.comCheck out the movie Wall Street, mentioned in this episodeFollow Abim on LinkedInConnect with Northwestern Mutual on Social Media:LinkedIn | X | Facebook | Instagram | YouTubeWe want to hear from you!

Marshall Rabil is the third-generation President and CEO of Hubbard Peanut Company, the country's oldest specialty peanut brand, famously known as "Hubs." Founded by his grandparents in 1954 in Sedley, Virginia, Hubs is a household name celebrated for its super extra-large Virginia peanuts. Before taking the helm, Marshall cultivated a global perspective, working in sustainable development and education in Japan and around the world. He later gained invaluable industry experience as a specialty food buyer at Whole Foods, inspired by the principles of Conscious Capitalism. In 2016, Marshall returned to his roots, bringing a vision to blend the company's rich tradition with modern innovation, community engagement, and long-term growth.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode, host Jonathan Goldhill sits down with Marshall Rabil to explore the journey of leading a 70-year-old family legacy into the future. Marshall shares how his experiences abroad, from Japanese villages to international development projects, shaped his desire to use the family business as a catalyst for positive change in his own rural Virginia community. We dive into the nuts and bolts of this transformation, from turning an old grocery store into a vibrant community hub to competing against private equity-backed giants. Marshall offers a candid look at the delicate balancing act of honoring his grandparents' legacy while implementing new technology, marketing strategies, and, most importantly, navigating the complex dynamics of family ownership and succession.KEY TAKEAWAYSBusiness as a Community Catalyst: Marshall is using the business as a force for good, transforming an old grocery store into "The Hubs Vine," a community event space, and forging deep partnerships with the local food bank through initiatives like the "Homegrown Harvest" festival.The Value of Outside Experience: The Rabil family mantra was to "go and work for someone else first." Marshall's time in international education and at Whole Foods provided him with a unique perspective that has been crucial for innovating within the family business.Navigating the Private Equity Wave: Instead of selling to private equity firms that are acquiring competitors, the Rabil family chose to reinvest in their business. Hubs differentiates itself by focusing on its premium quality, its authentic story, and strategic partnerships with brands like Orvis.The Toughest Challenge is Family Alignment: Marshall reveals that the most critical and time-consuming challenge isn't operations or scaling, but getting the multi-generational family owners aligned on corporate governance, especially the buy-sell agreement.Modernizing a Legacy Brand: Marshall is spearheading the adoption of new technologies, from a sophisticated Shopify Plus website and data analytics tools to exploring automation on the production line, ensuring the brand remains relevant.Patience in a Legacy Business: Leading a 70-year-old company requires patience. Marshall emphasizes the need to take a step back, understand different family perspectives, and accept that meaningful change takes time.QUOTES"I was really starting to think how can business, um, be a catalyst for change in our community?""I was always encouraged to go out and do something before you want to come back here. So that was always kind of our family mantra was, you need to go and work for someone else first.""I think our value has multiplied because of some of those efforts. But it required a lot of work.""Of the seven things that you mentioned, that [family alignment on corporate governance] is the one that is taking the most time and attention... because you have to get the family on board.""I have to remind myself too, you know, take a step back. You'll get there. I like things to happen a little quicker than they do sometimes."Connect and learn more about Marshall Rabil and Hubbard Peanut Company:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marshall-rabil-83a24a15/Company LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hubbard-peanut-company-inc/If you enjoyed today's episode, please subscribe, review, and share with a friend who would benefit from the message.
