    Soluna is pioneering a new category of renewable computing, building data centers co-located with renewable energy power plants to monetize stranded or wasted energy while providing sustainable compute power for AI workloads. With over $180 million in funding, Soluna is constructing a distributed network of facilities around the country that enables massive AI compute capabilities while driving demand and resiliency in the renewable energy sector. In this episode of Category Visionaries, John Belizaire shares Soluna's journey from addressing a stranded wind power project in Northern Africa to becoming a leader in sustainable computing infrastructure. Topics Discussed: The evolution of Soluna's business model from blockchain computing to AI workloads How renewable energy curtailment creates opportunities for data center innovation The landscape of renewable power plant ownership and development Building relationships with major power producers and investment funds The technical challenges of creating flexible, distributed computing facilities Content marketing strategies for category creation and demand generation   GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Master the missionary sell: John emphasized the importance of education and de-risking in the early stages of category creation. When introducing a novel solution, focus on addressing customer concerns systematically and finding early adopters willing to validate your approach. The first six months were spent convincing power plant owners that computing facilities could work effectively with their operations. Leverage content marketing for scalable education: Initially relying on outbound calls, Soluna transformed their pipeline by investing heavily in content marketing through podcasts, newsletters, articles, and social media. This education-first approach led to 80% of their pipeline becoming inbound leads. B2B founders should view content as a scalable way to address common customer questions and concerns before the first meeting. Build an integrated content engine: Rather than viewing content creation as an overwhelming task, start with recorded conversations that can be repurposed across multiple formats. One conversation can become a blog post, podcast episode, video content, and email sequences. This approach creates a content library that continuously generates marketing assets while maintaining consistent messaging. Target the convergence of major trends: Soluna positioned itself at the intersection of renewable energy, cryptocurrency, and AI computing. While some of this alignment was fortunate timing, the company's planned evolution from cryptocurrency to broader computing applications allowed them to capitalize on the AI boom. B2B founders should look for similar convergence opportunities in their markets. Focus on systemic industry problems: Soluna identified that renewable energy curtailment was a widespread issue affecting plant profitability. By understanding the "McDonald's and Burger King problem" of optimal resource locations creating grid congestion, they developed a solution that addressed a fundamental industry challenge rather than a point problem.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co

    The rampant rise of greenwashing threatens to undermine genuine sustainability efforts and mislead consumers, with over 900 businesses in Europe being accused of the practice in 2024.  Greenwashing can come in many different forms, and the tactics used aren't always easy to spot. In this episode, Mel dives into the 7 shades of greenwashing and explains the common greenwashing tactics you should be on the lookout for. You'll learn ·      What is Greencrowding? ·      What is Greenlighting? ·      What is Greenshifting? ·      What is Greenlabelling? ·      What is Greenrinsing? ·      What is Greenhushing? ·      What is Greenmasking?   Resources ·      Carbonology ·      7 Shades of Greenwashing Guide   In this episode, we talk about: [02:05] Episode Summary – In the 2nd part of this 3-part series on greenwashing, we dive into the various methods and tactics used by businesses to avoid their sustainability obligations. [03:05] What is greencrowding?: This tactic relies on safety in numbers and occurs when different groups (like governments, organisations and companies) join forces to create the impression of making significant environmental changes. For example, 8 of the world's biggest 20 plastic polluters including companies such as Royal Dutch Shell, Coca-Cola, and BP are part of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, however the group moves at the speed of the slowest member and sets low environmental targets to stall action as it is often costly and involves a lot of the companies resources and time [03:55] What is greenlighting? – This is when companies spotlight a particularly ‘green' product or operation which helps to draw attention away from tis otherwise environmentally damaging activities. Commonly seen in the car industry, recent BMW campaigning highlights the company's electric vehicles, despite being heavily invested in combustion engine vehicles therefore not addressing their major source of emissions. Another example is Exxonmobil, who heavily advertised its “advanced biofuels” made from algae, however didn't mention the fact that the biofuels made up a miniscule part of production. Since coming under scrutiny Exxonmobil have rescinded this project altogether and haven't looked to practical alternatives. [05:15] What is greenshifting? - This is where the blame gets shifted onto consumers. BP's “Know your carbon footprint” campaign is a key example, it invited customers to share pledges for reducing their individual emissions yet BP's core business continue to partake and scheme hugely polluting oil and gas projects. Another example include H&M who urged consumers to recycle their old clothes yet, the company continues to be a prime culprit in fast-fashion and have a significant part to plat in over-consumerism leading to environmental degradation. [06:10] The growing need for comprehensive carbon reporting – This occurs when companies use words like ‘eco', ‘sustainable' or related wording or symbols conveying green messaging with no evidence to support it. Kohl's and Walmart were sued for labelling toxic rayon textiles as eco-friendly bamboo. Another more recent example is McDonald's Paper Straws where In 2019 a paper straws to introduced to replace plastic ones, claiming it was an eco-friendly move. However, it was later revealed that these paper straws were not recyclable, leading to criticism that the company was misleading consumers about the environmental benefits. [07:15] What is greenrinsing? - This is where companies change their sustainability commitments or targets before actually achieving them. Repeatedly, Coca-cola has missed and moved its recycling targets. Between 2020 – 2022, the company dropped its targets for using recycled packaging from 50% by 2030 to 25% proving these targets were not sufficiently made. BP and ExxonMobil are two more examples of being criticized for frequently updating their climate targets without substantial progress. Various ambitious goals were announced over the years, but critics argue that these targets are often revised or postponed making it hard to assess real achievements and also trust between consumers, investors and legal frameworks are lost. So the takeaway here is, make sure you're targets are realistic! [08:45] What is greenhushing? – This occurs when companies deliberately underreport or hide green credentials to evade scrutiny, which is a rising practice found in larger firms who struggle to successfully hit their targets/ aims. Commonly found with firms that make distant net zero targets but do not report on progress. It allows them to hide the fact that they are not taking meaningful steps. Companies often avoid reporting positive environmental measures they may be taking to prevent greenwashing accusations which can be argued as counter-productive in the efforts to help drive systemic and industrial change in the most polluting industries. H&M and ExxonMobil are key examples of greenhushing and no-longer actively promote their sustainability practices as they have faced criticism over false / limited actions in the past.  This one is rather damaging, especially to those who are taking meaningful sustainable action, but may not be keeping up with their targets. This is why it's so crucial to make those targets obtainable. If this practice continues, then there is less pressure overall for businesses to do their part for sustainability. It's important to celebrate the victories, no matter how small, as it all adds up to the bigger picture. [10:55] What is greenmasking? - Greenmasking (a term coined by Carbonology®) is used to describe the practice where organisations self-certify their environmental impact without independent verification. This means they claim their green credentials are accurate while avoiding transparency about their methodology and data. Essentially, they are "marking their own homework," which can lead to misleading claims about their sustainability efforts. Some companies offer ISO 14064 consulting and verification services that may not always adhere to the rigorous standards required for genuine verification. This can result in poor practices and undermine the credibility of the certification. For example, some consulting firms might offer ISO 14064 verification as part of their services but fail to conduct thorough and independent audits. Instead, they may ‘verify' the data is correct in-house. This can lead to situations where companies are able to self-label their environmental impact as compliant with ISO 14064 without truly meeting the standard's requirements. This results in a vast amount of unreliable and untrustworthy data that is purportedly verified. Furthermore, with some consultancy companies asserting that offering both consultancy and verification within the same firm is a viable option, it paves the way for poor reporting standards to be accepted, only worsening the problem in the long run. Greenmasking can have significant implications for stakeholders, including investors, customers, and regulators, who rely on accurate and transparent environmental reporting. To combat greenmasking, it is crucial for organisations to seek independent and accredited verification of their GHG emissions ensuring that their sustainability claims are credible and based upon the rigorous standards stated in ISO14064-3.

    **Discussion begins at 5:30**On December 4, 2024, the week after Thanksgiving and well into the bustling holiday season, Brian Thompson, United Healthcare's CEO was gunned down right outside of a hotel in Midtown Manhattan - where he was on his way to a shareholder meeting.  In the chilling street camera video, you see the shooter loitering as Thompson approaches the hotel, before the suspect shoots the CEO in the back, fires a couple more, and then turns and walks away. In the days that follow, there is a massive manhunt in NYC.  NYPD swept the city, even taking to the river, for the shooter and killer of Brian Thompson.   Meanwhile, news channels and social media accounts shared the grainy picture of a similarly dressed man checking into a hostel days prior - a white male with a dark hood up over his head and a mask over his face. He's shown leaning over the counter, his black mask pulled down, smiling at someone across the counter that is not pictured.  Then, on Monday, December 9, a phone call came in from a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, approximately 223 miles away from the crime scene, the caller claiming that someone matching the suspects description was there.  The police, responding to the call, arrested 26 year old Luigi Mangione.  Found on him during the arrest was the gun, the silencer, and a three page note detailing his plan to kill Mr. Thompson.  But… something about Luigi's thick eyebrows seems out of place and doesn't match with the surveillance video that has many people pause over this seemingly too clean murder investigation. Outcries on reddit are claiming that Luigi is a Patsy, very much like our beloved Lee Harvery Oswald (Justice for Lee!), because how does one just get caught in a McDonalds with the murder weapon and a manifesto in his book bag just 5 days later? Is Luigi just too arrogant to believe he would be caught? Or is he being set up? Let's get into it. Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

    Mark Zuckerberg, PDG de Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp), semble amorcer un virage idéologique et stratégique qui suscite des interrogations. Une note interne, dévoilée le 12 janvier 2025, révèle que l'entreprise supprime ses objectifs de diversité, un pilier de ses politiques depuis des années. Selon Janelle Gale, vice-présidente des ressources humaines, ce changement s'explique par des évolutions juridiques aux États-Unis, notamment la décision de la Cour suprême en 2023 mettant fin à la discrimination positive dans les universités. Désormais, Meta ne fixera plus de quotas pour la représentation des femmes et des minorités ethniques, bien qu'elle affirme vouloir continuer à recruter des profils variés. Cette décision s'inscrit dans une remise en question généralisée des politiques de diversité, équité et inclusion (DEI) par plusieurs grandes entreprises américaines, comme McDonald's, Ford ou Amazon, souvent sous la pression de groupes conservateurs. Elle a cependant provoqué des réactions vives, notamment la démission de Roy Austin, vice-président chargé des droits civiques chez Meta, qui a dénoncé une « trahison » des valeurs de justice sociale. En parallèle, Meta a mis fin à son programme de fact-checking, lancé en 2016 pour lutter contre la désinformation. À la place, l'entreprise introduit un système de « notes de la communauté », similaire à celui de la plateforme X (anciennement Twitter) sous Elon Musk. Ce mécanisme, permettant aux utilisateurs d'ajouter du contexte aux publications, est toutefois jugé insuffisant par les spécialistes en désinformation. Les choix récents de Zuckerberg s'accompagnent de déclarations controversées. Lors d'un entretien avec Joe Rogan, il a défendu une vision traditionnelle et agressive de la masculinité, inspirée par sa pratique des arts martiaux mixtes. Il a également critiqué les médias et accusé le gouvernement Biden de censure, un écho aux positions d'Elon Musk, devenu une figure emblématique des conservateurs sur X. Des liens émergent également entre Zuckerberg et Donald Trump. Des sources rapportent un dîner entre les deux hommes en novembre 2024, accompagné d'un don d'un million de dollars de Zuckerberg pour l'investiture de Trump. Le patron de Meta s'est dit « optimiste » quant à une nouvelle présidence Trump, affirmant que ce dernier souhaite avant tout « que l'Amérique gagne ». Ces évolutions stratégiques et idéologiques suscitent des inquiétudes internationales. Le Conseil de l'Europe, l'ONU et même la Maison Blanche ont exprimé leurs craintes face à une possible montée des discours extrêmes et une réduction de la modération en ligne, évoquant une « régression inquiétante ».

    RUNDOWN   Whoops, did Hotshot Scott accidentally suggest to start an OnlyFans for his daughter's car fund? Hotel Wi-Fi sucks. And what about Shreveport, Louisiana? Mitch and Hotshot dive into the frustrations of watching NFL playoffs without the Seahawks, who are instead grappling with coaching changes. Seahawks No-Table *offseason edition* analyzes the decision to fire offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb after just one year. The discussion explores philosophical differences with head coach Mike McDonald and the team's lack of a consistent offensive identity. The conversation pivots to the Seahawks' future, debating whether they've made significant progress under McDonald, the viability of trading Geno Smith, and lingering concerns over Seattle's front office and roster construction. In the Mariners No-Table segment of Episode 318, Mitch, Joe Doyle, and Brady Farkas dissect Seattle's puzzlingly quiet offseason. With zero significant spending and minimal roster adjustments, frustrations mount over missed opportunities to strengthen the team. Mitch Levy and Rick Neuheisel analyze Ohio State's resurgence, Notre Dame's defensive dominance, and the nuances of college football's marquee moments, including questionable coaching decisions and pivotal plays from the Cotton Bowl.   GUESTS   • Seahawks No-Table | Brady Henderson (ESPN Seahawks Insider) & Jacson Bevens (Cigar Thoughts) • Mariners No-Table | Joe Doyle (Over Slot) & Brady Farkas (Sports Illustrated Now M's Editor) • Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Analyst   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:07 | From OnlyFans to Shreveport: Mitch and Hotshot Tackle Wi-Fi Scams and Sports Trivia 11:43 | Clip of the Week: Jason La Canfora; QB Conundrum: Geno's Value, Trade Rumors, and Cousins Comparisons—Is $45M the New Norm? 20:31 | Seahawks' Mediocrity Playbook: New Coach, Same Old Problems 40:01 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table Brady Henderson (ESPN Seahawks Insider) & Jacson Bevens (Cigar Thoughts) - Grubb's Firing, Geno's Future, and a Mediocre Middle Ground 1:06:09 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table | Joe Doyle (Over Slot) & Brady Farkas (Sports Illustrated Now M's Editor) Mariners Offseason: Zero Spending, Endless Frustration, and a Castillo Conundrum 1:28:40 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel (CBS College Analyst) Neuheisel's Take: Buckeyes Set to Blitz Notre Dame in Title Showdown 1:59:09 | The Other Stuff Segment: Ohio State vs. Notre Dame: College Football Championship •Underdog rooting dilemma: Fans struggle choosing favorites •Penn State vs. Texas: Exciting semifinal games •Steelers offseason moves: Russell Wilson free agency •Mike Vrabel Patriots return: Coaching change speculation •Bill Belichick Twitter debut: Unexpected online presence •Justin Verlander career move: Giants sign aging pitcher •Scott Servais Padres role: Mariners manager transition •Deshaun Watson injury: Achilles re-rupture recovery • RIPS Sam Moore Soul legend remembered, Bill McCartney 1990 National Champion coach, Peter Yarrow Folk icon from '60s. • Headlines: Polish general controversy: Anti-tank mines misplaced.

These chemicals are invented for one sole purpose, and that's to improve the bottom line of the food industry, not improve our health.”In this episode, I sit down with author and activist Vani Hari, popularly known as the “food babe.” For over a decade, she has been exposing toxic ingredients in America's food—and getting companies to stop using them.“[The FDA has] not reviewed the safety data of these artificial dyes in over 10 years. However, children's consumption of these artificial food dyes have increased 500 percent,” says Hari. “We're not trying to stop fast food or get rid of fast food. We want to make it the same as they do in Europe. McDonald's french fries: 11 ingredients here in the United States, including dimethyl polysiloxane, an ingredient you would find in silly putty ... but in the UK, there's three ingredients, and the fourth ingredient is optional. It's just salt.”Hari argues that food companies should add a warning label to every product that uses artificial food dyes, as they already do in Europe.“That would automatically almost force the food industry to remove them here as well, because they do not want parents to be concerned about their products,” she says.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
