Episode Summary: Robots Are Building Solar Farms Robots Are Building Solar Farms: How Cosmic Robotics Is Transforming Utility-Scale Construction In this episode of the Solar Maverick Podcast, host Benoy Thanjan sits down with James Emerick, Co-Founder and CEO of Cosmic Robotics, to explore how autonomous robotics are changing the way utility-scale solar is built. Cosmic Robotics is developing an autonomous vehicle with an industrial robotic arm that installs PV modules on to racking, reducing labor intensity while improving safety and predictability on job sites. James shares why module installation is one of the most labor-intensive and OSHA recordable injury-prone tasks in solar construction and how robotics can help crews work faster and safer. They also discuss the company's approach to deploying robots in the field, using real-world data to improve performance, and expanding into adjacent tasks like QA/QC and other construction applications over time. The conversation also touches on the broader drivers accelerating automation, including labor constraints, tighter project economics, and the surge in behind-the-meter power needs from data centers and AI infrastructure.   Key Takeaways Robotics can reduce crew size while maintaining or improving daily module install throughput • Safety is a primary driver, not just cost, since module install has high injury exposure • Well-scoped tasks like module placement are a practical path to field-ready autonomy • The long-term opportunity is a broader robotics platform for solar and adjacent infrastructure   Biographies Benoy Thanjan Benoy Thanjan is the Founder and CEO of Reneu Energy, solar developer and consulting firm, and a strategic advisor to multiple cleantech startups.

There are multiple pathways into the RIA model.Each with pros and cons.One of the pathways is to join an existing RIA.When I first note the latter to advisors, there is often a misconception about what that entails.I'll often hear… “I don't want to sell my practice.”That “flavor” of RIA exists, but it's by no means the only flavor available.In fact, there are over a dozen variables that distinguish one RIA from another.Some RIA offerings will be of no interest to you, whereas others could be very appealing.In this episode (#142) of the Transition To RIA question & answer series I explain how to evaluate an RIA to potentially join.Come take a listen!P.S.

What if your money worked harder than you do? We sit down with Ronald Eugene Ron Kmetovicz, author of Ghost Money: The Pathway to Financial Independence, to unpack a simple, no-gimmick system for building wealth that quietly compounds while you sleep. Forget rented supercars and day-trade dopamine; this conversation is a masterclass in practical investing for people who want lasting freedom, not fleeting flexes.Ronald traces his roots from a farm in rural Pennsylvania to his first stock purchase in eighth grade and shows how multiple income streams set the foundation for a resilient life. We break down why fans of products often become poor stock pickers, why dividends and yield on cost matter more than hype, and how a low-cost balanced fund can outpace most DIY trading once fees, taxes, and emotions are counted. Ronald's KMAC curve turns compounding into a series of understandable doubles, proving you don't need an MBA to reach meaningful milestones—just consistency and time.We get honest about lifestyle creep, debt traps, and the false security of high incomes. From 30 percent credit card rates to seven-year car loans, we show how small choices compound in the wrong direction. Then we flip the script: automatic contributions, emergency buffers, and cutting expenses give you the power to say no to stress, bad bosses, and burnout. Start with 10 percent as a floor and stretch to 20 or 30 percent when you can, especially in your early years, and let the boring math work.If you're tired of paycheck anxiety and ready to build a quiet army of assets, this one's for you.

From sandblasting pipe yards at 17 to advising on $10-200M M&A transactions, Dr. Greg Waller shares proven strategies for maximizing business exit value, managing buyer expectations, and why the best time to prepare for sale is 3 years before you're ready. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with Dr. Greg Waller, who advises clients on complex business valuation and buy-side and sell-side M&A transactions. Greg is the managing partner of Cornerstone Valuation and a partner and managing director of Transact Capital, leading a 20-person team focused on the lower middle to middle market. Given his academic and entrepreneurial background, he jokingly refers to himself as the Blue Collar Scholar. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover why professional buyers and owner-operators require completely different M&A processes, how to set realistic expectations about the gap between business value and market price, and why starting exit preparation 3 years in advance dramatically impacts final sale outcomes. Greg explains how private equity-backed platforms are blurring the traditional lines between financial and strategic buyers, what makes labor-intensive businesses particularly attractive in the current market, and the cultural complexities that emerge in international transactions. You'll also learn why the most successful exits often begin as casual conversations years before any actual sale decision. GREG'S JOURNEY: Greg's path to M&A advisory started in Youngstown, Ohio at age 17. He walked into a pipe yard with a 4-inch piece of pipe, half sandblasted and coated, half rusty. He showed the crew his before-and-after demo and landed a contract to blast the entire yard over 18 months. That first deal led to years painting elevated structural steel, bridges, water tanks, and radio transmission towers. The industry changed when EPA regulations around lead-based paint removal came in. Working on a bridge one day, a coworker with cracked hands from years of painting looked at Greg and said, "Look at my hands, look at my face. What are you doing? You're a smart boy, why don't you go back to school?" That conversation took the rest of the season to sink in, but Greg eventually left the painting business and pursued his MBA at Ohio University. Faculty members encouraged him to pursue a PhD. His initial reaction was "Are you crazy? Why would I ever want to do a PhD?" But they convinced him, and he earned his PhD in finance at Purdue University. During his 20 years in academics at Ohio University and Virginia Commonwealth University (until May 2025), Greg maintained entrepreneurial ventures including valuation work as an expert witness, real estate development, buying his father's distribution company, and building a restaurant operating group. THE BLUE COLLAR SCHOLAR: Greg's unique combination of blue-collar operations experience and academic expertise gives him a perspective most M&A advisors lack. As he puts it, "I'm as comfortable talking to the janitor as I am to a board of directors, and just being able to put yourself in those shoes and having done it really gives you a different perspective." Having been under the hood of companies across virtually every industry through ownership and valuation work, he can get into the head of sellers in ways that matter when emotions run high and expectations need managing. KEY INSIGHTS: The M&A market divides into two buyer pools requiring vastly different processes. Professional buyers (private equity and strategics) respond to structured competitive auction processes with rigorous due diligence. Owner-operators typically engage through market-making platforms where price leads the conversation. Understanding which buyer type you're targeting shapes everything about your approach. Value and price represent fundamentally different concepts. Greg uses GameStop as his example: price went through the roof despite no fundamental change to the company, then crashed. Setting realistic expectations upfront with clients about valuation ranges prevents painful surprises when market realities emerge. The critical question: "If this thing ends up pricing at the lower end of the range, are we still good to go?" The consultative approach produces the best outcomes. Greg's most successful deals were "3 or 5 years in the making" where he identified value drivers early, helped clients clean up their operations, and positioned them properly before market entry. The best time to start thinking about hitting the market is 3 years ago. Private equity-backed platforms now dominate middle-market transactions, acting like strategics by bolting on competitors but bringing institutional capital discipline. This hybrid model has made the traditional financial versus strategic buyer distinction increasingly blurry. Labor-intensive businesses with skilled workforces are commanding premium multiples as immigration policies create labor challenges. Service providers to infrastructure industries and staffing companies are particularly hot. With massive private equity dry powder and 2024's weak M&A activity, the ingredients point toward a robust 2026 market. Perfect for business owners planning exits in the next 3-5 years, entrepreneurs considering M&A advisory relationships, and anyone interested in understanding how blue-collar operations experience combined with academic expertise creates differentiated advisory value.

In "The Career Accelerator: Why Leaders Choose TMSA", Joe Lynch and Jennifer Karpus-Romain, Executive Director at the Transportation Marketing & Sales Association (TMSA), discuss how specialized community and education drive logistics success. Growth follows connection.  About Jennifer Karpus-Romain Jennifer serves as the Executive Director at the Transportation Marketing & Sales Association (TMSA) and as an adjunct professor at Cuyahoga Community College teaching social media. Previously, she was Director of Marketing for Faye, a software integration firm, and has also held roles in the publishing and marketing industries, and managed her own content and publishing firm. Karpus-Romain has her Bachelor of Science in Journalism from Ohio University and received her MBA from Capella University. About Transportation Marketing and Sales Association (TMSA) Sales and marketing professionals in the logistics and transportation industry come to the Transportation Marketing and Sales Association (TMSA)as the place to learn, to grow, to have fun together and to make lasting connections. Members enjoy access to live events, virtual forums and exclusive member-only benefits.  The association was founded in 1924 and has gone through many names and iterations throughout the years, but it's mission to be the resource for its members has never changed. Key Takeaways: The Career Accelerator: Why Leaders Choose TMSA In "The Career Accelerator: Why Leaders Choose TMSA", Joe Lynch and Jennifer Karpus-Romain, Executive Director at the Transportation Marketing & Sales Association (TMSA), discuss how specialized community and education drive logistics success. Growth follows connection. A Century of Evolution: The TMSA isn't a "new kid on the block." Founded in 1924 (originally focused on railroad advertising), the association has spent over 102 years evolving alongside the industry. While the name has changed to reflect modern logistics, its core mission—to be the premier resource for sales and marketing professionals—has remained constant. The New "Track-Based" Educational Model: To provide better ROI, the TMSA has moved away from a one-size-fits-all approach. They now offer five distinct tracks: 1. Company Leader, 2. Sales Leader, 3. Sales Practitioner, 4. Marketing Leader, 5. Marketing Practitioner The Track-Based approach ensures that whether you are a solo marketer or a VP of Sales, you are networking and learning with peers facing your specific daily challenges. "Human First" Leadership in an AI World: Jennifer emphasizes that while tools like ChatGPT (which she humorously calls "Atlas") are vital for efficiency—especially for small teams—the human element is the true differentiator. In an era of automated emails and AI-generated content, leaders choose TMSA to learn how to keep their brand voice authentic and human. The "Tech Mic Drop" & AI Showdown: Rather than traditional, dry keynotes, the upcoming Elevate Conference (June 7–9 in Denver) features a technology showdown. Competitors must present real-world results and efficiencies rather than just sales pitches. This helps members cut through the "noise" of the saturated logistics tech market. Bridging the Sales and Marketing Gap: A major theme of the interview is the "merger" of sales and marketing (or "Smarketing"). Jennifer points out that marketing should be creating "sales enablement" content—like simple infographics—that salespeople actually use, while sales should be providing feedback on lead quality to create a unified revenue-generating engine. Real Insights from Shipper Panels: One of the highest-value segments of their events is the Shipper Panel. Jennifer explains that they bring in actual big-name shippers who give "brutally honest" feedback. This is a rare opportunity for sales and marketing teams to hear exactly how shippers want to be approached—and more importantly, what "cringe-worthy" tactics to avoid. Professional Development as a "Career Accelerator": For "teams of one" or those in "flyover states," TMSA provides a sense of community. Beyond just learning, it offers leadership opportunities through committee work that professionals might not get at their day jobs. Jennifer views the association as a place to "sharpen the sword" so members are ready when market conditions (like the recent freight recession) finally turn around.

Leveling up your game just got so much easier, thanks to the new cutting-edge technology from BeONE Sports — a startup that uses mobile motion-capture and AI to enhance athletic performance, prevent injuries, and support coaches and athletes at every level.Co-founded by former Division I athlete Scott Deans '22, the idea for BeONE started right here at Rice Business. Scott has loved sports since his days playing football, and through the EMBA program, he found a way to bring his passion and business acumen together.He joins co-host Brian Jackson '21 to discuss his early career journey through architecture, the 12 years he spent at bp and what ultimately led him to Rice Business. They also dive deep into the exciting technology being used at BeONE and how the company's partnership with Rice Athletics is helping student athletes optimize their performance and prevent injuries.Episode Guide:00:00 Introduction to Scott Deans and BeONE Sports01:02 Scott's Athletic Journey and Transition to Architecture05:55 From Architecture to Analytics at BP12:56 Pursuing an MBA at Rice University16:36 Founding BeONE Sports and Its Technology28:23 Partnerships and Applications of BeONE Sports37:44 Challenges and Advice for Entrepreneurs42:20 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:On building company your passionate about19:35: I sometimes imagine if I had chosen the other, one of the other companies, and I was like, there is no way I would be here after four years, grinding through the trenches, as they say, on something that did not matter to me. So, yeah, I think that is a huge, huge point in any entrepreneurial journey, that it has to matter to you; otherwise, you are not willing to compromise and go through all the pain in order to make it successful.How the Rice program helped Scott build his business28:30: So another big piece of the program at Rice was really focused on, like, building a team. And I have been a coach for a long time. I have been part of teams and built teams, so teams are, in my opinion, the linchpin, really the basis for product and a business and all those things. But part of that process is everybody's recognizing what they are good at and what they are not good at, and then where you have gaps. You need to find people who are strong in those areas. So, recognize really quickly the areas that I am not strong at and, Jason, basically from a business side and many other sides, filled those perfectly.The importance of asking better questions09:55: Always try to ask better questions, and this has been a mantra of mine since I was a little kid. I think. Because, you know, there are always going to be answers. You can always find a solution. But is the solution the right one? And is there a better question we could be asking to, you know, a lot of rework or pivoting and changing. And so it creates a mindset of constant flux, like you are in constant change. And that is not an easy mindset for many people.Show Links: BeONE Sports “Rice partners with BeONE Sports to transform athlete performance with AI technology” | Rice BusinessTranscriptGuest Profile:Scott Deans | LinkedIn

As a proud partner of the Site Selectors Guild, Develop This! continues its mission of connecting economic developers with the site selection profession. This episode reflects that shared commitment: helping communities better understand how projects are evaluated and what it truly takes to deliver results.

Changing regulations are reshaping the practice of oncology. Issues such as prior authorization, shifting coverage policies, reporting mandates, and reimbursement certainty all affect how clinics must operate to provide the best care.

In this illuminating episode we're back with Elisha Edwards to shine more light on the often confusing topic of metabolic disorder, laminitis and hyperinsulinemia. As I share, I'm usually a pretty quick study but this stuff gets my brain all twisted in knots - and am I ever grateful to have someone like Elisha to break it down for me. As many of you know, the topic of insulin as it relates to disease has been top of mind for me since my gelding Reykur's recent laminitic episode where his levels of insulin were off the charts despite trying to do all the right things. I've been doing my best to sift through all the information out there and it felt like the perfect time to have a deep dive conversation about this with someone who really gets it and is looking at this topic from many angles.  In this chat we discuss why insulin goes up, why it stays up, and how we can help it to come down and stay down, the very real impact of hormones, stress and cortisol, the pros and cons of medicating, the real struggles of watching our horses deal with pain and how the emotional states of our horses can influence this disease. I know this conversation helped me greatly on my horse-keeping journey, and I hope it helps you too!  Elisha Edwards is a long-time horse lover who holds both a Bachelor of Science in organic chemistry and an MBA from the University of Alberta. Elisha is the Director of Education at Riva's Remedies and she is also the developer and instructor of the online course Healing Horses Their Way. She teaches horse owners all over the world how to use holistic health care to promote good health for their horses and how to restore good health in unwell horses. She believes that through education and awareness of natural horse health we can drastically improve their quality of life and longevity. Elisha also regularly facilitates workshops and seminars on natural horse health care across the country.

SD346 - Margem - Episódio 1. Neste episódio, Dr. Lorenzo Tomé  inaugura uma série especial de três episódios sobre um tema pouco discutido na medicina: a margem. Inspirado no livro Margem, de Richard Swenson, o episódio analisa por que tantos médicos vivem no limite (de tempo, energia, dinheiro e propósito) e como isso impacta diretamente a qualidade do cuidado e a satisfação profissional. Dr. Lorenzo mostra por que operar sem margem aumenta erros, reduz empatia e transforma o cuidado em uma atividade automática e frustrante. Um episódio que não apresenta soluções prontas, mas dá nome ao problema e convida o médico a refletir sobre sua própria rotina, escolhas e modelo de prática. Para quem sente que está sempre correndo, sempre atrasado, sempre cheio — e ainda assim longe de entregar o melhor cuidado possível.

Melody describes her retirement with one word: peaceful.Not the kind she chased while working, the kind that finally arrived when she stopped.After 30 years in a high-pressure tech career, Melody retired at 55 with a clear trade-off in mind: less money, more time. She didn't walk away because she hated her work. She walked away because constantly operating in conflict (even healthy conflict) required her to be someone she wasn't, day after day. In this episode of Retirement Reality, Melody shares how she intentionally built a life that feels calm instead of compressed. She talks about choosing time over income, using spending guardrails instead of rigid rules, and why paying off her mortgage mattered more to her peace of mind than chasing higher returns. She also explains how that decision unlocked affordable healthcare before 65 — something many people assume is impossible.But Melody's story runs deeper than early retirement math. She opens up about surviving financial abuse, rebuilding her life from zero in her late 30s, and how budgeting, self-education, and emotional healing worked together to create stability. Today, retirement looks like volunteering at a cat rescue, gardening, exploring art and history, and creating handmade objects simply to give them away.Melody's journey is a reminder that retirement isn't about perfection or privilege. It's about alignment between your money, your values, and the life you want to live next.As you listen, consider this:If you could trade some income for more peace, would you?Interested in a custom strategy to retire early? → https://www.rootfinancial.com/start-here/Get access to the same software I use in my videos and join the Early Retirement Academy here  → https://ari-taublieb.mykajabi.com/early-retirement-academy-Melody is not a client of Root Financial Partners, LLC and received no compensation for participating in this video.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the current state of the MBA admissions season. We continue to see several top MBA programs rolling out their Round 2 interview invites. Next week UPenn / Wharton and INSEAD are scheduled to release their interview invites and we speculate that MIT Sloan will, too. We then briefly discussed our new interview prep tool,  Clear Admit's MBA Interview simulator  Thus far, we have seen broad adoption of this tool, and we expect word to continue to spread! The MBA interview simulator is trained on Clear Admit's extensive catalogue of interview resources including our interview archive and interview guides. Graham noted we are scheduled for our monthly AMA YouTube Livestream later today. Here is Clear Admit's YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@ClearAdmitMBA Graham also highlighted MBA webinar events that are on the horizon that Clear Admit is hosting. We are hosting a series for MiM programs which is scheduled for February 24 and 25. Clear Admit is also hosting events with London Business School and Vanderbilt / Owen later this week. On March 19, we are hosting a series of online panel discussions focused on international students who are targeting the top MBA programs in the United States. Finally, we are excited to announce our in-person admissions event, the MBA Fair, to be scheduled in Atlanta, on May 11. Signups for all these events are here: https://www.clearadmit.com/events Graham then highlighted a recently published article from Clear Admit's Fridays from the Frontlines series, highlighting a veteran who is at Notre Dame / Mendoza.  Graham then noted three admissions tips which all focus on the interview experience: MBA interview etiquette, questions for the admissions interviewer, and post-interview follow-up. Graham addressed a recently published Real Humans piece that focuses on Class of 2027 HBS students. Then finally, we discussed this week's roll out of the Financial Times ranking. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry: This week's first MBA admissions candidate is a deferred admissions candidate who appears to have a very strong profile but still needs to take the GMAT. This week's second MBA applicant is from India, works in finance, and has a perfect 340 on the GRE test. This week's final MBA candidate is deciding between Wharton and Sloan with a scholarship. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA.
