Rural broadband expansion is at a turning point. The FCC's updated benchmarks for high-speed internet have significantly increased the number of underserved households, with nearly 28% of rural Americans still lacking access to adequate fixed broadband. As demand surges for reliable connectivity to support telehealth, online education, and remote work, providers and policymakers are rethinking how to build rural fiber infrastructure that can serve both immediate needs and long-term growth.How do we build long-term, scalable fiber infrastructure in rural areas without wasting resources on short-term fixes or duplicative efforts?On Pro AV Today, recorded from the floor of Connected America 2025 in Irving, Texas. Host Ben Thomas sits down with Lance White, Solutions Manager at KGPCo and longtime telecom industry leader, to dig into the practical realities of rural fiber infrastructure rollouts—from co-op partnerships and workforce shortages to the long-term ROI of fiber over wireless alternatives.Key Takeaways from the Episode:Fiber remains the only true long-term solution. While satellite and wireless serve as temporary fixes, only fiber provides the bandwidth, latency, and scalability to support rural economic development and next-gen technologies like AI and data centersElectric co-ops are leading the charge. With existing infrastructure, billing systems, and customer trust, co-ops are uniquely positioned to drive rural broadband, often succeeding where legacy telcos or ISPs have struggled.Workforce remains the bottleneck. As the industry faces a looming wave of retirements, recruiting young talent into telecom trades is vital. White emphasizes giving new workers a path for growth and ownership to keep them engaged.Lance White is a telecommunications leader with nearly three decades of experience driving fiber and wireless infrastructure projects across rural and suburban markets. He has held senior roles at KGPCo, Corning, and Grayson Collin Communications, where he led large-scale broadband deployments, secured multimillion-dollar grants, and built strategic partnerships with ILECs, CLECs, and electric co-ops. White specializes in network expansion, project management, and broadband business development, with deep technical expertise in fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), LTE, and data/voice solutions.

In this episode of Discover Lafayette, we welcome Jude David, Executive Chairman of Stately Doors & Windows, to discuss the company's role in delivering ultra-luxury doors and windows for high-end residential and commercial projects. His company does approximately $100 million dollars in sales each year to homes built for business owners, celebrities, and others who can afford to build no matter what the market experiences. Clients have included Billy Joel, Paul McCartney, Jerry Seinfeld, Alec Baldwin, Tony Romo, Diddy, and Calvin Klein. A Leader in Bespoke Doors and Windows With nine locations across the U.S., Stately Doors & Windows has established itself as a premier provider of custom, high-quality designs using exotic hardwoods, Swiss steel, and state-of-the-art glass. The company collaborates with top-tier designers and architects, offering one-of-a-kind solutions tailored to their clients' visionary needs. Stately Doors & Windows is headquartered at 315 S. College Drive in Lafayette, less than a mile from Jude David's home. Pushing the Boundaries of Design and Automation Stately specializes in cutting-edge bespoke innovations, including: Disappearing doors and windows that retract seamlessly into the floor or basement, allowing for uninterrupted indoor-outdoor living. Fully automated doors and windows, eliminating the need for manual operation. Custom shapes and sizes, ensuring that no design challenge is too complex, even offering bespoke door options for the owners' pets. Long-Term Planning and Project Management Jude highlights how Stately works with architects years in advance, often three to four years before construction begins. Unlike many competitors that simply sell products, Stately provides comprehensive project management, from design conception to on-site installation, ensuring a seamless experience. Expanding into Commercial Luxury Spaces Although bespoke doors and windows are rare in commercial projects, Stately has found a niche in high-end hotels, including: La Fonda Resort in New Mexico L'Auberge Bishops Lodge Resort For the people able to pay for these high-end resort prices, it is worth every penny. Very few lodging options offer the luxurious spaces designed by Stately Door & Windows. Additionally, the company operates a high-velocity door manufacturing facility in Las Vegas, producing 2,200 doors per week, and a millwork shop in West Monroe, specializing in moldings, corbels, and luxury finishes for hotel lobbies and upscale spaces. Resilience in Market Fluctuations Despite high interest rates, Stately continues to thrive. Their affluent clientele remain committed to their projects regardless of economic conditions, making their business model highly resilient in both up and down markets. The Artisans Behind the Craft Stately Doors & Windows is built upon skilled artisans who treat their work as an art form rather than just a manufacturing process. Jude acknowledges the difficulty in finding such talent and emphasizes the importance of growing artisans from a young age. The company actively recruits from high schools and trade shows, offering apprenticeship opportunities that lead to lifelong careers in millwork and craftsmanship. Alternative Career Paths and Workforce Development Jude believes that success is not limited to a college degree. He encourages individuals to focus on creating value for their employers, stating that career growth and financial success come from hard work and innovation rather than just formal education. Entrepreneurial Spirit and Leadership Jude shares his entrepreneurial journey, reflecting on his natural inclination toward leadership and growth. He thrives on taking calculated risks, expanding the business through strategic acquisitions, and constantly seeking new challenges. While he acknowledges the importance of teamwork, he admits to being most effective when in charge,

Councils are planning for the long term, so should the Government be doing the same? The Auditor-General's Office has compiled a report into 58 councils' long-term plans, and found they made a “significant achievement” meeting their requirements on time in uncertain circumstances. However, they found the Government lacks comparable planning requirements. Deputy Auditor-General Andrew McConnell told Mike Hosking they're raising the question of how much the central government understands about its future infrastructure costs. He says most government agencies have a form of infrastructure they're relying on, so they think that question needs some serious consideration.

This is our last podcast of 2024! We will be back in the new year with a look back at 2024 and the energy themes we will be watching in 2025.For the last podcast of the year, we welcome Elliot Mainzer, President & Chief Executive Officer, California Independent System Operator (CAISO).California has integrated a large share of renewables into its electricity supply. As of 2023, almost 50% of California's power generation came from renewables. Renewable power generation includes solar (19%), hydro (15%), wind (6%), geothermal (5%), and biomass (2%). Jackie and Peter asked Elliot: What is your expectation for future renewables growth? What is the future of natural gas generation?  Is transmission able to keep up with the addition of new power supply? Do you expect changes under the Trump administration could speed up the permitting for new transmission projects?  Are you concerned about the pace of demand growth and what is driving the acceleration?   Is it fair to say that high renewables penetration has caused California to have expensive power prices?  Alberta is making market changes to address the growth of renewables; how did California address these issues with market design in a way that continued to create a compelling investment opportunity for renewables?  How much electricity does California currently receive from Alberta and British Columbia?Content referenced in this podcast:Statement from CanREA on concerns about punitive market and transmission changes in Alberta, including a link to a Direction Letter from Minister Nathan Neudorf (December 10, 2024)Opinion: Alberta needs solar and wind to meet demand by Vittoria Bellissimo and Evan Wilson, December 12, 20242023 Total System Electric Generation for California (California Energy Commission) Please review our disclaimer at:https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

We'll get to the action items later.Next up? Taming the to-do beast by sorting it into categories. Think "Gifts," "Decorations," "That epic holiday party I'm totally going to crush." Once you've got your categories, it's time to plug them into your trusty task management system. The goal? A clear view of what needs doing, so nothing gets lost in the pre-holiday shuffle.Now for the nitty-gritty: prioritizing. Nikki and Pete guide you through assessing deadlines, impact, and (let's be real) how much time you actually have. They also dive into the brilliant concept of "Priority Dilution" from Rory Vaden's book, Procrastinate on Purpose. It's like that moment when you keep adding water to your favorite drink and it becomes… well, less awesome. Learn how to avoid the Urgency Illusion, the Reactivity Trap, and other productivity pitfalls, and discover the power of a well-placed "no."Feeling overwhelmed? Nikki and Pete have you covered. They recommend creating a separate daily list, picking just one or two tasks from your master list. It's all about small wins and avoiding that "where do I even start?" paralysis.Finally, they share strategies for getting ahead of the game. Delegation? Yes, please! Accountability partners? Game-changer. Body doubling sessions? Pure magic. Regular check-ins with your task list? Essential. And remember, all progress is good progress. Pace yourself, schedule reasonable time blocks, and get ready to enjoy a smoother, more joyful holiday season.Links & NotesSupport the Show on PatreonDig into the podcast Shownotes Database (00:00) - Welcome to Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast (02:40) - Support the show, Find the show, Discord the show (04:54) - Long-Term Planning with ADHD: Holiday Edition (17:22) - Priority Dilution --It's Time to Live Unapologetically — The Book is Available Now!Our new book, Unapologetically ADHD: A Step-by-Step Framework for Everyday Planning on Your Terms, is out and available now!

This episode is a repost from The Working On Purpose PodcastCapitalism comes in for criticism, despite the fact that this economic system has resulted in substantially increasing global per capita income over the centuries, spurring economic growth and progress. Critics often criticize a kind of Aberrant Capitalism, one that is dominated in their minds by corporations, whose behavior is not always meritorious. But from the earliest times, it was Customer Capitalism, not corporate capitalism, that was the driver of individual prosperity and thriving. Companies such as Wedgwood & Bentley of Wedgwood China fame (founded 1759) set the original precedents by prioritizing customer needs and innovation, laying the foundation for contemporary business practices. The advent of these corporations facilitated large-scale entrepreneurship, promoting innovation and efficient responses to customer demands.Entropy has set into the capitalist system since the founding days, and there is some corporate behavior that needs reform. Dr. Alise Cortez is attentive to these concerns. We discussed the prospects for a revival of customer capitalismResources: Connect with Hunter Hastings on LinkedInConnect with Dr. Alise Cortez on LinkedInThe Value Creators WebsiteHunter Hasting's Blog Dr. Alise Cortez's websites:  Gusto-Now.com and AliseCortez.comShow Notes: 0:00 | Intro3:25 | Capitalism: Bad Rap and the Purpose 08:07 | Standard Oil's Impact on Civilization09:52 | World War: Capitalism in the Next Era14:20 | The Post-War Capitalism: Command and Control19:50 | Period of Financialization 21:05 | Maximising Shareholder Value 22:14 | Government as the Customer 25:35 | The Promise of Customer Capitalism 28:30 | Current Landscape of Customer Capitalism 33:03 | Management Practices of Forward-Thinking Companies: Extremely Flat Organization35:33 | Cross-Functional Teams 37:45 | Short-Term Problem Solving vs. Long-Term Planning 39:50 | Long-Term Stock Exchanges: Role and Contribution40:30 | AI and Middle Management42:24 | Principles Over Rules 43:40 | Customer-Centric Business Models 45:13 | Idea of Subjective Value and Empathy48:37 | Wrap - Up

Look who we have on a short-turnaround visit to Midrats, Dr. Emma Salisbury!We're going to cover the waterfront issues in the Anglosphere, but we'll kick off the discussion with the issues she outlined in her recent Behind the Front post, Franken-FREMM: How the Constellation Class Became a Monster.Emma recently completed her PhD at Birkbeck College, University of London, with research focusing on the history of the U.S. military-industrial complex. She is the Sea Power Research Fellow at the Council on Geostrategy, Fellow at UK Strategic Command Defence Futures, and an assistant editor at War on the Rocks.ShowlinksFranken-FREMM: How the Constellation Class Became a Monster - Emma SalisburyBeyond the Iron Triangle: The Military-Industrial Complex as Assemblage - Emma SalisburyThe US Navy has Fallen Victim to the British Disease - Tom SharpeSummaryThe conversation discusses the challenges and systemic problems in naval shipbuilding, specifically focusing on the Constellation Class FFG program. The guests highlight the lack of learning from previous failures, the accumulation of unnecessary changes, and the desire for perfection at the outset. They also explore the mindset issue in shipbuilding, the impact of economic considerations on decision-making, and the importance of maintaining shipbuilding capacity. The conversation emphasizes the need for an iterative approach and long-term planning to address these issues. The conversation explores the challenges and issues surrounding naval procurement and shipbuilding in the UK and the US. It discusses the underfunding of the armed forces, the problem of project creep, the need for investment in defense, and the importance of having a clear vision for ship designs. The conversation also touches on the potential of AI and unmanned assets in the future, the need for flexibility in ship designs, and the importance of maintaining a strong defense industrial base.TakeawaysNaval shipbuilding faces systemic problems and a lack of learning from previous failures.The desire for perfection at the outset and the accumulation of unnecessary changes contribute to shipbuilding challenges.Economic considerations and the impact on local communities often influence decision-making in shipbuilding programs.Maintaining shipbuilding capacity is crucial for national security and requires long-term planning.An iterative approach, similar to China's shipbuilding strategy, could be beneficial for naval shipbuilding programs. Both the UK and the US have historically underfunded their armed forces, leading to challenges in naval procurement and shipbuilding.Project creep, the tendency to continuously add features and modifications to a design, has been a major problem in naval procurement.Investment in defense is necessary to ensure the readiness and capability of armed forces.There is a need for a clear vision and focus on the intended role and capabilities of ships, rather than trying to make them do everything.While AI and unmanned assets hold promise for the future, there is still a long way to go in terms of technology development and integration into fleet structures.Flexibility in ship designs is important to accommodate future upgrades and capabilities.Maintaining a strong defense industrial base is crucial for national security and the success of naval procurement and shipbuilding.Chapters00:00: Introduction01:21: Systemic Problems in Naval Shipbuilding03:03: The Constellation Class FFG Program and its Challenges06:01: The Desire for Perfection and Accumulation of Changes10:26: The Need for an Iterative Approach in Shipbuilding17:47: Economic Considerations and Decision-Making in Shipbuilding22:40: The Importance of Maintaining Shipbuilding Capacity25:23: Long-Term Planning for Naval Shipbuilding29:48: Underfunding and Sea Blindness33:01: The Problem of Project Creep35:44: The Need for Defense Investment38:41: Making the Case for Defense Spending44:12: The Importance of Clear Ship Designs46:09: The Potential and Limitations of AI and Unmanned Assets49:32: Flexibility in Ship Designs for Future Upgrades52:09: The Challenge of Limited Space and Displacement55:09: Fixing the Defense Industrial Base

Despite the panic caused by news of the deficit, they emphasize the hundreds of billions of dollars still being spent. They explain that difficulties in predicting revenue, which is heavily dependent on personal income tax and notably from wealthier citizens, can lead to dramatic shifts in budget status.
