Podcast appearances and mentions of John Purcell

Cloud cost is no longer just a finance team issue. It is now a business-wide concern, and treating it as a budgeting exercise is holding companies back. In this episode, I'm joined by John Purcell, Chief Product Officer at DoiT, to unpack how organisations can rethink cloud financial management through a risk-first lens. With the FinOps X conference just around the corner, John also gives us a preview of the themes likely to dominate the agenda this year, from Kubernetes complexity to the role of AI in governance. DoiT is not just another optimisation tool. Their Cloud Intelligence platform helps companies align performance, reliability, and security with financial strategy. John explains how cost spikes are not just common, they are almost guaranteed. He shares a real example of a ninety-thousand dollar AWS bill caused by a minor configuration error and what could have prevented it. We talk about the shift from reactive cost reviews to proactive financial defence. Think of it like cybersecurity but applied to your cloud budget. That mindset change is something FinOps teams need to embrace quickly. It is not just about watching what is spent, but understanding intent and outcomes across the business. John also introduces the concept of the FinOps fabric, a combination of technology, processes, and culture that helps teams align on goals and mitigate risks. And while AI and automation are transforming how teams interact with cloud platforms, they are still responsible for driving most cloud spend today. We dig into what needs to change before AI can truly become an optimisation asset rather than another cost driver. Whether you're gearing up for FinOps X or trying to get a better grip on cloud cost management, this episode offers practical insight into the tools, strategies, and cultural shifts that can help your team stay ahead.

On this episode of Gifts and Graces, we get to hear from John Purcell on building a culture of organizational health and deep relationships within your church. John Purcell is the owner and principal consultant of Transform. This episode was originally recorded as a seminar delivered at the 2023 General Assembly. Let's listen as John Purcell shares how to become a results and relationship focused church.

It won't be long before members of Haverhill High School's 1973-74 hockey team gather for the 50th anniversary of the program and one of the organizers is revealing decades-old details.The celebration takes place Saturday Feb. 17, at Haverhill High School's Veterans Memorial rink with a game against Shawsheen. Richard “Spike” Sprague, who scored Haverhill High's first varsity goal, gave away some secrets during a visit last week to WHAV's “Win for Breakfast” program.“I guess you're going to find out why I scored the goal, because he went into emergency duty because the starter was out. He was in net with a pair of pads and regular skates on. Basically, he fell down and I put it in the net. I don't think it was the hardest goal in the world to score,” he explained.Sprague said that wasn't the games' only historical mark.“There's also a first, my good friend the goaltender, Ted Vathally. He was the goalie, he got the first shutout, we won 9-0 that game.”Sprague has been working for months to get all of his teammates to the celebration.“We had 22 players, unfortunately two passed away. These five players I'm looking for, Mark Roy, Tom Lloyd, John Purcell, Rich Cook and Joe Parker. If you're out there, I'd appreciate you getting in touch with me, we'd like to have you there,” he asked.Players who have moved to California, Texas and Florida will be coming back to town. Even though the 73-74 Haverhill High hockey team is celebrating its 50th anniversary, Sprague said there was a short-lived effort years earlier.“They did have a hockey program back in 1929, I researched it. It was more of a club team. They went on for three years and disbanded. So, it had been 40 years before Haverhill started it back up, which was our team,” Sprague noted.The Haverhill High School 50th hockey anniversary, Saturday, Feb. 17 starts at 3 p.m. with a gathering of the first varsity team in school history followed by a ceremony at 3:30 p.m. and the start of the game at 4 p.m. against Shawsheen After the game, Sprague says anyone who has been involved with the Haverhill High School hockey program over the past 50 years is invited to the American Legion Wilbur M. Comeau Post 4, at 1324 Main St., to “talk hockey.”  For more information, Sprague can be reached at 978-994-4463 or by email at richsprg@aol.com.Support the show

Live from IFPA's Global Show: Technology's Critical Role in Local Produce and Controlled Environment FarmingA very special live podcast from IFPA's 2022 Floral and Produce show! We are talking with Craig Hurlbert and Dave Vosburg of Local Bounti, John Purcell of Unfold, and Ali Daniali of HRVSTS.Join us as we discuss:Networking at a global level at the IFPA's Floral and Produce Show. Growing customer demand for locally grown produce Sustainability in the food system.The challenges and possibilities of controlled environment farming. Using Data to inform growing operations. Segment 1 - Craig Hurlbert (CEO) and Dave Vosburg (Chief Innovation Officer) of Local Bounti“Controlled environment food growing is very capital intensive, so this model will require management to have a strong understanding of running capital intensive operations.' - CraigLocal Bounti is an indoor farming company with an aggressive growth plan over the next five years to deliver delicious, great texture, flavorful products to their customers all across the United States, locally grown. The demand for locally grown produce is there, the logistics and infrastructure is evolving. People want convenience, less shelf time, flavor, and low price points. Salad kits are a good example of a winning product right now. Local Bounti is expanding to Texas and Oregon and looking into acquiring other facilities as well. Segment 2 - John Purcell (Chief Strategy Officer) of Unfold“Controlled environment [farming] is a confluence of amazing technologies; I like to describe it as Silicon Valley meets Salinas Valley.” — John According to John, this industry is a huge mashup of many sectors in tech, “a confluence of technologies.”People are drawn to this work because they want to use their skills on something that matters. The reason they get attracted to this is because of the work done producing food in a way better for the planet. It's new in some ways, but in some ways, it's not. There's a cross fertilization of ideas and technologies from outdoor crop growing and indoor crop growing happening all the time these days.John suggests we look at the technologies that are out there, and let's figure out how to apply them.Segment 3 - Ali Daniali (CEO/Founder) of HRVSTS“We've flipped the equation. For growers, it's actually a push versus pull type of equation, where the buyer is actually telling the grower what to grow” — AliHRVSTS grows and sells specialty produce to food service companies. Using data they can get specialty leafy greens from seed to customer in 7 weeks or less, depending on the crop. They use data to eliminate the inefficiencies in the system and also contract with small growers and help new farmers get online quickly.

In this episode, John Purcell takes us through the process behind writing his novel The Lessons. We had one of those wonderful long meandering chats, not just about John's novel, but about lots of other books. We discovered a mutual love for EM Forster's A Room with a View and why it's such a perfect novel. And John shared the fascinating method he used to learn from the classics. And of course we talked about the creation of his novel The Lessons - how he wrote the 4 first person narratives, how he overcame a lifelong aversion to spreadsheets to help structure the novel and the importance of talking to yourself, preferably while wandering over the Kent downs or your locale of choice. John also shared the thrills and spills of the editing process for this novel - in a word, brutal - as well as differentiating between the character voices and how to end a chapter.You'll find links to buy both paperback and ebook versions of The Lessons here.ABOUT JOHN PURCELLWhile still in his twenties, he opened a second-hand bookshop in Sydney – imaginatively called 'John's Bookshop' – in which he sat for ten years reading, ranting and writing. Since then he has written (under a pseudonym) a series of successful novels and, as part of his previous role as Director of Books at Booktopia, interviewed hundreds of writers about their work. John's 2018 novel, The Girl on the Page was a bestseller, and a film adaptation is in the works. He now lives in the English countryside with his wife, three dogs, four cats and his overlarge book collection.Website: https://www.johnpurcellauthor.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/johnpurcellauthorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bookeboy/Twitter: https://twitter.com/BookeboyFor information about the Your Author Website course, go to https://www.writerscentre.com.au/store/courses/your-author-website/To enter this month's competition, head to Instagram or Facebook and look for the giveaway post.This podcast is recorded on the beautiful, unceded lands of the Garigal people of the Eora nation.Full show notes available at writersbookclubpodcast.com

We have to be seen as part of where produce is heading, an important part rather than just this island out there that has really cool tech.” (10:19) (John)  “What we're most interested in is companies that can generate data, do the testing and trialing, and then provide that on the performance of our specific genetic packages that we're providing.” (20:23) (John)  “It doesn't matter where you are in the world, whether it's urban areas or mega cities, people want fresh, local, great quality produce. And they want it produced near to where they're consuming it. So that's holding now everywhere in the world.” (25:25) (John)  “One of the things I was taught early on when I went into the vegetable side of the business was don't talk about taste, talk about sensory experience. Because the fact is, the way that we perceive an eating experience goes well beyond taste. It's how it feels in your mouth. It's even the sound. Is the crunch, right? It's the color. It's the appearance.” (32:04) (John)  Resources MentionedVertical Farming Show – https://verticalfarmingshow.com/ (https://verticalfarmingshow.com/)  Unfold Website –https://unfold.ag/ ( https://unfold.ag/) Unfold Twitter –https://twitter.com/unfold_ag ( https://twitter.com/unfold_ag) Unfold LinkedIn –https://www.linkedin.com/company/unfold-ag/ ( https://www.linkedin.com/company/unfold-ag/) John's LinkedIn –https://www.linkedin.com/in/jppurcell/ ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/jppurcell/) Sponsor Info Cultivatd's Website –https://www.cultivatd.com/ ( https://www.cultivatd.com/) Cultivatd's Instagram –https://www.instagram.com/cult_ivatd/ ( https://www.instagram.com/cult_ivatd/) Cultivatd's Twitter –https://twitter.com/cultivatd ( https://twitter.com/cultivatd) Cultivatd's Facebook –https://www.facebook.com/cultivatd/ ( https://www.facebook.com/cultivatd/)

Thank you to our presenting sponsor Merck Animal Health Ventures! https://www.merck-animal-health.com/animal-health-ventures/ Unfold website: https://unfold.ag/ John Purcell LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jppurcell/ Unfold Twitter: https://twitter.com/Unfold_Ag  John Purcell, Ph.D. has worked in agriculture for over 30 years, including  long career at Monsanto and then Bayer. For the past dozen or so years before leading Unfold he worked in their vegetable seed division. His earlier work led to innovations for crops such as corn, cotton, and wheat. John earned his Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst and worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the USDA before going into industry. He is also part owner of a family ranching operation in Montana.  John started thinking about genetics for vertical farming while still at Bayer, but they decided that the vertical farming industry was so different, it not only needed it's own products, but it's own company focused on it. It was at that time that Bayer and investment company Temasek formed Unfold as it's own independent startup focused exclusively on vertical farming. John was tasked with building this company from scratch.  **JOIN THE FOA COMMUNITY: www.patreon.com/agriculture

This week, we talk with John Purcell, CEO and president of Unfold, a seed genetics company launched in 2020 to help specifically vertical indoor farms. Seeds for these farms have different needs with such tight, controlled environments. Plus, whatever can be done to keep costs down with all those upfront infrastructure costs and energy expenditures, I'm sure is welcome. We'll learn how retailers are responding and what vertically grown products besides leafy greens are most likely to appear on store shelves next. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
