Nearly 150 days into President Trump's second term, the outlook for wind energy in the United States - particularly offshore wind - is increasingly bleak. Trump had pledged to end offshore wind development, and now the House Ways and Means Committee is proposing a phase-out of tax credits for renewables by 2031 - a move that would severely impact an already struggling wind sector (over on our sister podcast Energy Gang, we discuss the bill and what it means for renewables – check out that episode once you're finished here).Only three offshore wind projects have come online in US waters, with 4 GW currently under construction. In 2024, total wind installations reached a ten-year low at just 5.2 GW. By contrast, Europe has surged ahead, having built 35 GW of offshore wind capacity - ten times the US total – emphasising the stark differences in policy and financing frameworks.Still, there are glimmers of hope: President Trump recently lifted a stop-work order on a $5 billion offshore wind farm off the coast of New York, following lobbying from Governor Kathy Hochul. The project, led by Norwegian company Equinor, is expected to power 500,000 homes by 2027. However, with developer confidence sinking, experts warn that the stop-start nature of US policy continues to undermine long-term momentum in the sector. To forecast the next few years for wind in the US, host Sylvia Leyva Martinez – principal analyst at Wood Mackenzie – is joined by analyst Stephen Maldonado. They explore the policy and technology that's holding back deployment of offshore wind in the US.Plus, looking across the Atlantic to Europe, Sylvia talks to WindEurope CEO Giles Dickson, about the financing frameworks for wind in Europe.Sylvia, Stephen and Giles talk through the lessons for developers and financers: with uncertainty around tax credits and shifting policies, there may be a shift in resources to more advanced projects, putting early-stage ones on hold. Repowering old wind turbines is an option too; Giles explains how. And making use of domestic supply chain strengths is key – compared to solar, wind has more domestic supply chain support.Follow the show wherever you're listening to it now, and tell us what you think, we're on X and Bluesky @interchangeshowSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Does this sound familiar? You're in a leadership meeting and someone asks, "What's our AI strategy?" or "How should we be using ChatGPT?" If you've been in one of these conversations lately, you've probably felt the pressure to have an answer. But here's the thing, you might be asking the wrong question entirely. This week, we're diving into insights from tech humanist Kate O'Neill on why chasing technology trends is letting the tail wag the dog, and what successful leaders do instead. The core insight?

Un chercheur américain vient d'inventer un dispositif étonnant : un e-tatouage capable de détecter la surcharge cognitive en temps réel (extrait de L'Hebdo du 31/05/25). Léger, flexible et jetable, ce capteur nouvelle génération pourrait révolutionner le quotidien de certains professionnels... et pourquoi pas, celui de tout un chacun. Signée Nanshu Lu, professeur à l'Université du Texas à Austin, il s'agit d'un patch électronique ultra-fin à coller sur le front, capable de mesurer l'activité cérébrale et les mouvements des sourcils et des yeux pour évaluer notre niveau de concentration. L'objectif : prévenir les situations de fatigue mentale ou de stress excessif, en particulier pour les métiers à haute responsabilité comme les pilotes ou les chirurgiens. Fonctionnant grâce à un circuit imprimé flexible, ce dispositif connecté permettrait de visualiser en temps réel l'état cognitif d'un individu et de déclencher, le cas échéant, une assistance humaine ou automatisée. Une sorte de “décodeur de charge mentale”, simple à utiliser, bien plus accessible qu'un électroencéphalogramme classique. Ce e-tatouage pourrait-il un jour trouver sa place dans un cadre domestique pour aider à mieux répartir la fameuse charge mentale des entre conjoints ?

"And who do we love? We love you, Colin. We love the 18 handicapper. That's amazing for us because if we get an 18 handicap, a newer youth playing, or we get a woman who is learning golf, their improvement rate is so dramatic. If we can make them more intelligent out there, if we give them a complete view of the course and they're standing on the tee box and they can see the elevation changes they can visualize their shots and we help them read their putts.

Do we love the really good scratch golfers in the plus? Of course, but there's just not many of them." "If you make better choices, maybe you don't get that double or triple bogey.

Distribution alimentaire : ce que nous apprennent les signaux faiblesLa distribution alimentaire change. Lentement, parfois à bas bruit, mais profondément.À travers douze épisodes du podcast, j'ai échangé avec des dirigeants de grands groupes, de startups, de plateformes logistiques ou d'acteurs de la transition alimentaire. Chacun d'eux a livré une part du puzzle. Et ensemble, leurs paroles dessinent une nouvelle carte du commerce alimentaire en France.Digitalisation, logistique urbaine, maîtrise de la donnée, quête de sens, réinvention de la proximité… autant de mutations qui transforment la façon dont nous produisons, distribuons et consommons l'alimentaire.Dans cet épisode solo, je vous propose une lecture transversale de ces évolutions. Une mise en perspective de ce que les signaux faibles racontent déjà du paysage de demain.Ce n'est pas une synthèse, mais une analyse. Un récit structuré autour de cinq grands axes, enrichi par les paroles de celles et ceux qui font bouger les lignes.Que l'on soit distributeur, industriel, logisticien, startup ou simplement curieux de ces transformations, cet épisode est une invitation à penser le commerce autrement. À décrypter, ensemble, ce que ces mutations impliquent. Et à questionner ce que la distribution alimentaire veut ou devra devenir.

He also shares his personal journey of launching a supplement brand aimed at addressing sleep issues commonly faced by dyslexics, inviting listeners to join him on this new venture.TakeawaysWhen diagnosed later in life, it can feel like your whole life story just got rewritten.Creativity doesn't always look loud; it can be quiet problem solving.Dyslexics may have their creativity buried under years of negative feedback.Innovation is about pulling multiple ideas together in new ways.Everyone has different levels of creativity and unique expressions.Confidence can be impacted by past experiences and feedback from others.Dyslexia is just part of our operating system, not a defining trait.Seeking external validation can help rediscover lost creativity.Creativity can come in many formats, not just traditional art forms.Launching a supplement brand to address common dyslexic challenges is an exciting new journey.Keywordsdyslexia, creativity, late diagnosis, emotional impact, problem solving, unique expressions, innovation, personal journey, supplement brand, mental health, ADHD, adults with dyslexia, support for adults.If you want to find out more visit:⁠⁠truthaboutdyslexia.com⁠⁠⁠Join our Facebook Group⁠⁠facebook.com/groups/adultdyslexiaFollow the RightSiders Supplement Journeyrightsiders.org/wait-list

Welcome back to the Flex Diet Podcast! I'm your host, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and today's episode is a special rebroadcast of a conversation I had on the Barbell Shrugged podcast with Anders Varner. We dive deep into what I call the Flexible Meathead Cardio Approach — a method designed specifically for strength athletes and lifters who know they need cardio but don't want it to kill their gains.In this episode, I break down how to build a cardio plan that enhances, not competes with, your strength and performance goals. We cover why aerobic conditioning is a secret weapon for recovery, how it helps you train harder over time, and how to structure your week for maximum benefit.We also get into the weeds on VO2 max testing, different cardio modalities (and when to use them), and how to leverage health data from wearables like the Oura Ring for smarter training decisions. If you're a lifter who wants to be strong and fit without living on a treadmill, this one's for you.Sponsors:Tecton Life Ketone drink! https://tectonlife.com/ DRMIKE to save 20%LMNT electrolyte drink mix: miketnelsonlmnt.comFexible Meathead Cardio Level 1: Sign-up hereAvailable now:Grab a copy of the Triphasic Training II book I co-wrote with Cal Deitz here.Episode Chapters:00:35 Flexible Meathead Cardio Approach00:55 Enrollment Details for the Cardio Course01:45 Podcast Collaboration and Disclosure02:08 Introduction to the Barbell Shrugged Episode02:12 Cardio for Strength Training Enthusiasts05:28 Benefits of Aerobic Training for Lifters09:51 Personal Experience and Data Insights22:58 Structuring Cardio for Muscle-Bound Athletes27:49 Interval Training and Output Management29:03 Recovery Strategies for Intervals31:08 High-Intensity Intervals vs. Long Runs33:41 Understanding VO2 Max Testing39:04 VO2 Max Standards and Goals45:32 Structuring a Balanced Training Week47:46 The Importance of Consistent Cardio49:36 Conclusion and Where to Find More InformationFlex Diet Podcast Episodes You May Enjoy:Episode 287: Insights and Innovations in HRV and Aerobic Training with Coach Joel JamiesonEpisode 138: Why Everyone Benefits from Aerobic Training – Even MeatheadsGet In Touch with Dr Mike:Instagram: DrmiketnelsonYouTube: @flexdietcertEmail: Miketnelson.com/contact-us

This isn't just a name change; it's an expansion of our commitment to helping you thrive in today's dynamic, new economy marketplace. Today's EpisodeLeadership requires decisive action, not permission slips. In this revealing episode, I pull back the curtain on one of the most damaging leadership approaches plaguing businesses today: consensus leadership. Through a powerful real-world story about an orthodontist who sabotaged her own success by seeking employee approval, we explore why letting your team make critical business decisions is fundamentally flawed.Have you ever found yourself waiting for your team's blessing before implementing changes you know your business desperately needs? You're not alone. Many entrepreneurs and business owners fall into this trap, consulting with employees who lack both innovation mindsets and the perspective needed to make strategic decisions. I share why this approach isn't just problematic—it's completely backward.The episode highlights a crucial distinction that transformative leaders understand: there's a world of difference between inspiring your team with the "why" behind changes and asking their permission to implement them. True leadership means having the courage to say, "This is the direction we're going" rather than asking, "Is this direction okay with everyone?" The most successful visionaries throughout history didn't achieve greatness through committee votes.Whether you're running a dental practice, restaurant, retail store, or any other business, this episode offers actionable insights on how to balance team input with decisive leadership. You'll learn how to create a culture of innovation where getting your team's buy-in enhances execution but never determines direction. The path to growth begins when you stop asking for permission to lead.Ready to transform your leadership approach? Subscribe to the podcast and join us at our upcoming Iconic Event in Nashville this October, where we'll dive deeper into the strategies that separate transformative leaders from tentative managers.
