Sustainability goals are everywhere in manufacturing; net-zero by 2030, carbon neutral by 2035. While many manufacturers have set ambitious targets, the gap between goals and execution remains a challenge, especially when sustainability projects compete with production priorities for capital.Eric Spink and Shiva Subramanya from Veregy join the show to talk about energy transition and what it looks like in practice. Energy used to be just another line item and the cost of doing business, now it's tied to resilience, sustainability, and a company's long-term strategy.One key insight from the conversation was how the equipment on the perimeter of your manufacturing floor (think compressed air systems, boilers, refrigeration, and HVAC) consumes 60-80% of your plant's total energy.But manufacturers typically don't have expertise in these support utilities, which is why they get overlooked for efficiency opportunities.We dive into real projects, including a five-plant dairy operation where AI can predict steam demand based on production data. Plus, how performance contracting allows manufacturers to fund these projects using energy savings rather than tying up capital.In this episode, find out:Why energy has evolved from an expense to a strategic priorityHow perimeter equipment consumes 60-80% of plant energy but often receives the least attentionWhy sustainability projects typically compete with production priorities for budgetHow performance contracting uses energy savings to fund improvements without capital investmentThe low-hanging fruit in most plants, such as compressed air leaks, lighting upgrades, and controls optimizationWhat happens when you connect production data with utility systems using AI and advanced controlsReal examples from dairy processing that delivered significant energy savingsEnjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps. It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!Tweetable Quotes:“Traditionally, manufacturing companies have relied on their own capital to implement sustainability projects. But they always compete with productivity goals. With performance contractors, companies can now use the savings from energy reductions and put their capital elsewhere but still implement energy efficiency projects.” - Eric Spink“Upgrading control systems by putting in PLC-based controls, and adding instrumentation and metering really allows all these systems to consume a lot less energy. Historically these have yielded very high paybacks, between one and a half and two years in many cases.” - Eric Spink“Having a sustainability goal is important, but having a sustainability plan is key. The sustainability plan needs to include how the organization is going to implement it and how it's going to be funded year-on-year.” - Shiva SubramanyaLinks & mentions:Veregy, an award-winning decarbonization company providing turnkey engineering and construction services to reduce energy costs through efficiency upgrades, smart building technology, EV infrastructure, and clean energy solutions.Skillwork, a premier staffing agency providing skilled industrial technicians on a contract basis to augment facility teams across 30+ states for elevated impact and decreased downtime.Fortinet, securing the world's largest enterprises, service...

In this episode, I'm diving into a question that came up inside my six-month coaching and training program, Courage Lab 2.0. If you haven't checked it out yet, you totally should—people inside are seeing incredible results, making big moves, and getting a huge return on their investment.During one of our recent community Q&A calls, someone asked a really important question: What do you do when a donor who previously committed to giving a certain amount suddenly decides to give less? Maybe they cite political or economic uncertainty, or their priorities are shifting—either way, it puts you in a tough spot.I've seen this scenario play out many times, and there are two main ways to approach it. In this episode, I break down both paths and share how I navigate these conversations with boldness and leadership. Because here's the thing—this isn't a new phenomenon, and it's not going away. But as fundraisers and leaders, we have to step up, challenge the status quo, and advocate for the resources we need to do our work effectively.What we cover in this episode: How to respond when a donor changes their commitmentThe importance of getting curious before reactingWhy values clarification is key in donor relationshipsHow to position your organization as a top-performing investmentThe power of bold, direct conversations that hold donors accountableWhy now is the time to lead, not settle for lessIf you've ever had a donor change course on you, this episode will give you the mindset and strategy to handle it with confidence. It's time to lead with courage and make sure the best, most effective organizations—like yours—get the funding they deserve.Listen in, take notes, and let me know what resonates with you!Do you need to make bolder asks, but you have to figure out what the heck you're going to say?

Doug Peacock had dedicated his life to teaching, diligently putting money aside every month for his retirement. However, when the day finally arrived, he was shocked to discover that he was short a staggering $25,000,000. Sitting down with his advisor, Doug couldn't help but marvel at the red stash of money that represented his shortfall. Reflecting on his career, he couldn't help but think that this conversation should have happened five years earlier instead of just 60 days before leaving the classroom. Despite his unexpected financial setback, Doug now sought to find a new path in life, one that would bring him fulfillment and purpose beyond the confines of teaching.Connect with Doug Peacock: https://www.peacockwealthgroup.com/Topics & Bullets:Introduction to the episode and guestIntroduction of the podcast, host, and guest Doug PeacockDiscovering the upside-down approach to life insuranceFlipping the upside down with minimum death benefit and maximum cash valueCutting commissions to benefit clientsAvailability of money within 30 to 60 daysUse of mutual companies that pay dividendsSelectivity in choosing insurance companiesThe speaker's personal financial journeyAttempting retirement from teachingDiscovering a shortfall in savings late in their careerRealization that the conversation should have happened earlierExploding student loan debts and the start of a new pathThe importance of control and access to moneyThe need for boundaries in wealth warehousingThe value of a good coachHaving control and access to investmentsCriteria for selecting insurance companiesPreference for 100 plus-year-old mutual companiesA-rated companies as preferred choicesWho benefits from the approachAthletes, real estate investors, and coaches looking to retireCustomer control over investmentsFactors influencing insurance costsAge, gender, and health ratingLower costs for women due to perceived lower risk behaviorFinancing life and the importance of benefitsComparing costs with long-term benefitsEmphasis on financing life rather than focusing on death benefitAccess to money for various needs throughout lifeTax advantages and concernsTax-exempt status of accumulated moneyConcerns about the direction of taxesTaking action and challenging beliefs about moneyBelief in the need to take action todayImportance of challenging beliefs about moneyRecognition that a relationship is not the key to successExpertise and learning from othersTagline discussion on investing 10,000 hours or learning from someone who has already made that investmentThe importance of navigating specific structures and processesInfinite banking and life insurance policy selectionThe term "infinite banking" losing meaningChoice of life insurance policy depending on individual needsExamples of different policy choices for different clientsThe process and benefits of wealth warehousingPatience and time required for the method to yield resultsBuilding cash value for future usePotential for a return that exceeds the initial investmentCreation of a tax-free warehouse of...

Bruce Wehner discusses the primary components of infinite banking policy design: base premium, paid-up additions riders, and term riders. Following the principles laid out by Nelson Nash in Becoming Your Own Banker, we review the concepts for designing a whole life insurance policy for the Infinite Banking Concept. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S54uejv8g-Q When my father took out a whole life insurance policy on me as a newborn, little did he know that it would be the cornerstone of my financial planning in the future. From leveraging that policy for a home down payment to understanding the value of banking, I've followed the policy design guidelines of the Nelson Nash Institute to navigate the complex world of finance. Join us in our exploration of whole life insurance and the myriad of benefits it offers not just from a security standpoint, but also as a tool for capital growth and liquidity. In this episode, we touch upon the long-term thinking involved in whole life insurance policy design. The focus is on the trade-offs we make, highlighting the potential benefits of reduced liquidity in the early years. We also delve into the nitty-gritty of policy design, discussing why a convertible term policy can be a boon for your financial portfolio. Moreover, we illuminate the often misunderstood relationship between banking and insurance, demonstrating how the former can be a profitable venture to exploit. Lastly, we examine the financial intricacies of policy design, emphasizing the importance of understanding the connection between a policy's base death benefit and premium. We share insights into how dividends are calculated and how factors such as a low-interest-rate environment can impact these projections. Wrapping up, we stress on the importance of affording the premiums and how it affects the potential dividends one can receive. So, tune in, and let's debunk the myths surrounding whole life insurance policy design while learning how to make the most of it. Whole Life Insurance is Not an InvestmentThe 3 Components of Infinite Banking Policy DesignWhat is Base?What are PUAs? Infinite Banking Policy Design and Base/PUA SplitThe Role of Term InsuranceThe Balance of Infinite Banking Policy DesignLiquidity and Thinking Long-TermOther Facets of Infinite Banking Policy DesignBook A Strategy Call Whole Life Insurance is Not an Investment Whole life insurance is a unique place to store cash because it's safe and it grows. This growth, however, cannot be compared to investments because it's not an investment. Instead, it should be compared to a bank, which is meant to be “safe” growth. This comparison reveals that cash value in a policy grows at a more substantial rate and is also tax-advantaged.  Cash value is also fairly liquid, though it takes some time for your cash value to catch up to the contributions you make. In other words, there are some limitations on the liquidity early on. However, this is temporary and is more than worth the trade-off of safe growth—safe from the IRS, creditors, taxation, loss, theft, and death. It's an iron-clad way to store your cash that you can't get anywhere else. The 3 Components of Infinite Banking Policy Design In order to get the best results from your whole life insurance policy, you want one that is specifically designed for IBC. This means that you want to work with an insurance agent who is familiar with your financial objectives, and can help you choose the ideal policy design. Policy design can be complex, yet the three main components of a policy are base premium, PUA riders, and term riders. What is Base? Base refers to the part of your premium that goes to the main (or base) portion of the death benefit you're buying. This is the foundation you build the rest of your policy upon, such as PUAs and riders.  When you have a high base, you're buying more death benefit upfront, and paying for it over the course of your premiums.

From Neal Bawa's perspective, multi-family is the “Right Now” investment opportunity. It all comes down to a more rational approach to underwriting and avoiding the tendency to chase trends or try to time the market. Neal is known in real estate circles as The Mad Scientist of Multi-Family.

The house hack strategy doesn't always run smoothly. Turning an old home into a modern, rentable masterpiece takes money—especially if you're doing a big renovation. One of the easiest ways to get the rehab funds you need? A home equity line of credit (HELOC). But, when used incorrectly, a HELOC's adjustable interest rate can bury any chance you have at cash flowing, no matter how great of a mortgage rate you get.Welcome back to another Finance Friday episode! This time around, we're tackling a rental property problem that is plaguing today's guest, Josh. Josh has made some sound financial moves by having a stable income, a great side hustle, and his newest house hack.

This forced his budget to shoot up higher than he was expecting. Now, he's trying to figure out the best move as he manages his debt spread across his mortgage, a high-interest HELOC, a family loan, and more.Josh is poised to continue investing in real estate even after this intensive experience. He wants advice from veteran landlords Mindy and Scott on what his next move should be, how he can best capitalize on his remodeled home, and when he might be able to buy the next house hack.
