We are excited to share this “on-the-road” COBT episode featuring Tim Latimer, CEO and Co-Founder of Fervo Energy. Our team traveled to Milford, Utah, to tour Fervo's Cape Station project before connecting with Tim for an in-depth conversation. Tim earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Tulsa and started his career as a drilling engineer in the Permian and Eagle Ford basins. He co-founded Fervo in 2017 after earning an MBA and an MS in Environment and Resources from Stanford University. Fervo is a developer, owner, and operator of geothermal assets. The company recently raised $206 million to advance the buildout of Project Cape, with phase one expected to deliver 100 MW of power to the grid in 2026. It was our pleasure to visit with Tim about the evolving geothermal landscape. As you'll hear, we were also joined by Kareem El-Sadi, Fervo's Drilling Engineering Manager, who brought valuable insights from the field. Huge thanks to all our new friends at Fervo for their hospitality and patience. We really had a blast. In our conversation, Tim shares the story of Fervo's founding, explains the fundamentals of geothermal, and details what makes Fervo's approach unique using deeper wells, horizontal laterals, and well stimulation. We explore the parallels between geothermal's recent progress and the shale revolution, as well as Cape Station's well specs, project economics and future cost reduction opportunities. We discuss how Fervo has dramatically improved dripping efficiency, cutting well costs from $13 million to ~$4 million by reducing the number of drill bits needed and decreasing total drilling days, the energy world's shift from largely skeptical to increasingly bipartisan and broader support, policy tailwinds, and Fervo's efforts to onshore supply chains amid steel and other tariffs. We cover geothermal versus oil and gas flow rates, design strategies for achieving high flow rates, water use efficiency, long-term production outlook, and overall “life of power plant” issues. We examine expansion plans for Cape Station, the leasing and mineral rights framework in geothermal, power plant design considerations including supply chain dynamics, permitting challenges and NEPA reviews, and project risk and learning curves from location to location. Tim shares his perspective on opportunities for geographic expansion beyond the Western U.S., cost curve and resource economics, commercial strategy and PPAs, near-term priorities for Fervo, geothermal's underrepresentation in no-emissions power conversations, the competitive landscape, whether being a pioneer is an advantage or disadvantage, and much much more. It was a fantastic discussion. Tim references a few items in today's conversation. MIT's paper entitled “The Future of Geothermal Energy” published in 2006 is linked here. Additionally, the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 is linked here. Mike Bradley kicked off the discussion by noting that bond and equity markets are focused on Wednesday's FOMC Rate Decision Meeting. Consensus expects the Fed to leave interest rates unchanged; however, if the Fed were to surprise with a rate cut, broader markets would initially surge before worry set in as to why! Turning to U.S. equities, while markets continue to post new highs, sentiment appears to have shifted toward a “sell the trade deal” mindset. This will be an important week for the Technology sector, broader equity markets, and electricity equities given that Apple, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft are all reporting results and investors are going to be listening closely to their projected AI spending levels. Mike also highlighted a major development in the transportation sector with Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern's anno

Send us a textStarting in the 1970's in Wichita Kansas, mysterious, horrific murders started happening in this once, unlocked door community. Authorities did not know what to make of this sudden increase in violent crimes, and did not want to upset the community, before being absolutely certain that the crimes were connected. And, then a call was received at a local newspaper. The caller said that there would be a letter, located inside a book on Mechanical Engineering, at the main branch of the local library, inside would be a letter that would make it crystal clear, the author, would have information that only the killer could possibly have.This is Part 1 of our coverage of BTK.Support the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!

The Employee Experience MBA class that I'm teaching this summer is in full swing, with a lot of ground to cover in a short amount of time. One of the things that I emphasize out of the gate is that employee experience is about optimizing the organization for the employee. Or, put simply, treat your employees like human beings, and treat them well. Shocking I know. But there is something about some organizations and business that can be dehumanizing in their own unique ways, as well as in the ways that they can replicate larger social dynamics that exist. Taken together, these elements can be unhelpful when trying to create better experience and more inclusive environments. As a result, the simple idea of treating people as people can at times not be so simple to execute.Thus for the next 6 weeks we'll be going over how we can conceptualize, integrate, and execute employee experience. Not that any of this is going to be mastered in six weeks. Mastery isn't achieved by taking a single course. It is in the doing of work, of applying concepts, of developing experience that we can start to reach the point of mastery. It is through the dedication to the concepts introduced, and the examples presented, that the students can be in the position to make for better employee experiences.One of the things I enjoy about this course is the way in which it is directly connected to applying the concepts that are learned. We might think of academia as a place where there is a lot of conceptualizing, and industry as a place where there is a lot of doing. It would then make sense, at least to me, that there is more partnership that takes place between industry and academia. But we don't often see that. Rather, at least in US society, we see more of a divide between academia and industry which precludes this kind of collaboration. Luckily, today on Experience by Design, we have someone who can talk about improving organizational culture, employee experience, and academia and industry collaborations. Josee Tremblay has a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering, a certificate in Strategic Decision and Risk Management from the Stanford School of Engineering, as well as other educational achievements. She has worked in the energy industry and is now a Principal at Strategic Decisions Group. In addition, she serves on the Schulich Industry Advisory Council for the School of Engineering at the University of Calgary. So she knows something about integrating industry and academia.Also, she has written a book called Us and Yet and Yet.  It is a fascinating examination and discussion of gender in the workplace. Her focus was on genders in nontraditional roles. Think male nurses, female engineers, and the like. In her book, she shares her experiences of transforming organizations through leadership, removing biases, and nurturing a positive multi-gender environment. Her goal is to give people a roadmap to collaboration and working together. We talk about all these elements in our conversation, along with the key message of no matter your background, you are bringing in a contribution which is essential. The role of leadership is to create an environment to bring that out. "Us and Yet and Yet" - https://usandyet.comJosee Tremblay LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/josee-tremblay/

In this episode, Chris speaks with Hiten Sonpal, CEO of Rise Robotics, a company developing an energy-efficient alternative to hydraulic systems. Using a patented belt-based actuator technology called Beltdraulic™,  Rise delivers the same power as hydraulics — but with significantly more energy efficiency, lower weight, and no fluid leaks. Their tech also supports built-in sensing, enabling AI and autonomous operation out of the box.Sonpal shares how Rise is approaching commercialization through a focused entry into the lift gate market, a $2 billion space where hydraulic failure and maintenance are common pain points. The Rise solution reduces vehicle downtime and increases driver productivity — offering an ROI that some pilot partners are already validating.

What if we could have all the immune-boosting benefits of raw milk without any of the safety risks? That's the promise of today's episode.Bob Comstock is the CEO of Tamarack Biotics and inventor of a revolutionary UV pasteurization technology that just received FDA approval after 12 years of development. Unlike traditional heat pasteurization that destroys up to 70% of milk's beneficial compounds, Bob's "cold pasteurization" process preserves 93-100% of bioactive proteins while eliminating dangerous pathogens.European studies have consistently shown that children who consume raw milk are protected from developing asthma, hay fever, eczema, and food allergies – conditions that now affect nearly half of all children. But the scientific community has confirmed that heating milk destroys this protective effect. Bob's UV technology could be the key to making these health benefits safely accessible to everyone.Bob shares the fascinating origin story of how he discovered this technology while living in Singapore, the hundreds of pathogens they had to test against for FDA approval, and why a regulation from the 1970s nearly derailed the entire project. He also discusses their clinical trials showing elderly participants had 120% more antibodies after consuming UV-treated milk protein compared to traditional whey protein, and their upcoming studies on allergy prevention in children.This technology could revolutionize not just the dairy industry, but potentially help address America's chronic disease epidemic by making truly nutritious milk widely available for the first time in over 150 years.About Bob ComstockBob Comstock is the founder and CEO of Tamarack Biotics, a food‑tech company based in Fresno, California. With a Mechanical Engineering degree from UC Berkeley, Bob launched Tamarack in 2011 to pioneer healthier dairy solutions. Before starting Tamarack Biotics, he started Compass Foods, which developed the world's most water soluble food grade emulsifier. Under his leadership, Tamarack developed TruActive®, the first FDA‑accepted UV‑based milk treatment that kills pathogens while retaining enzymes, proteins, and immune‑boosting bioactives—without traditional pasteurization.Discounts Get 10% off delicious local farm-fresh food delivered to your door with my link for FarmMatch: https://farmmatch.com/jane Get 15% off high-quality Italian olive oil with code FARMTOFUTURE: https://shop.vignolifood.com/FARMTOFUTURE Get 40% the CircleDNA's Premium DNA test with code JANEZHANG: https://circledna.com/premium Connect with Jane Z.

The Rise of Sovereign AI and Global AI Innovation in a World of US Protectionism // MLOps Podcast #331 with Frank Meehan, Founder and CEO of Frontier One AI.Join the Community: https://go.mlops.community/YTJoinInGet the newsletter: https://go.mlops.community/YTNewsletter// Abstract“The awakening of every single country is that they have to control their AI intelligence and not outsource their data" - Jensen Huang. Sovereign AI is rapidly becoming a fundamental national utility, much like defense, energy or telecoms. Nations worldwide recognize that AI sovereignty—having control over your AI infrastructure, data, and models—is essential for economic progress, security, and especially independence - especially when the US is pushing protectionism and trying to prevent global AI innovation. Of course this has the opposite effect - DeepSeek created by a Hedge Fund in China; India building the world's largest AI data centre (3 GW), and global software teams scaling, learning and building faster than ever before. However most countries lack the talent, financing and experience to implement Sovereign AI for their requirements - and it is our belief at Frontier One, that one of the biggest markets for AI applications, cloud services and GPUs will be global governments. We see it already - with $10B of GPUs in 2024 bought directly by governments - and it's rapidly expanding. We will talk about what Sovereign AI is - both infrastructure and software details / why it is crucial for a nation / how to get involved as part of the MLOps community. // BioCo-Founder of Frontier One - building Sovereign AI Factories and Cloud software for global markets.Frank is a 2X CEO | 2X CMO (with 2X exits + 1 IPO NYSE), Board Director (Spotify, Siri) and Investor (SparkLabs Group) with 20+ years of experience in creating and growing leading brands, products and companies.Chair of Improvability, automating due diligence and reporting for corporates, foundations and Governments with AI.Co-founder and partner at SparkLabs Group - investors in OpenAI, Anthropic, 88 Rising, Discord, Animoca, Andela, Vectara, Kneron, Messari, Lifesum + 400 companies in our portfolio.

How did a kid with no background in winemaking, a D1 scholarship to wrestle in college, and an interest in Mechanical Engineering end up making wine at one of the most famous wineries in Napa? You could call it fate. This week, we had the honor of sitting down with Kurtis Ogasawara who is the Director of Winemaking at Robert Mondavi Winery. Like a lot of winemakers we have met, he didn't start out expecting to be a winemaker, and began with a background in science and math. But, maybe the most amazing thing about Kurtis is that his experience as a Division 1 college athlete has influenced how he sees the winemaking process - which he likens to a team because of all the different people and talents that have to come together to make something special. Join us for this fun and fascinating interview, and gain a new appreciation for this storied winery and one of its amazing winemakers. Send us a Text Message and we'll respond in our next episode!Contact The Wine Pair Podcast - we'd love to hear from you!Visit our website, leave a review, and reach out to us: https://thewinepairpodcast.com/Follow and DM us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewinepairpodcast/Send us an email: joe@thewinepairpodcast.com

In this episode of the Pro Series Podcast, I sit down with Paul Grothouse, founder of Grothouse—an international leader in luxury wood surfaces.From launching his business with a portable sawmill in 1997 to building a brand trusted by the world's top architects and designers, Paul shares how he combined his Mechanical Engineering background, consulting experience, and passion for craftsmanship to redefine what's possible in wood design.We dive into:

You're avoiding seed oils. Skipping canola. Saying no to soybean oil. But are your eggs sneaking it all back in? I was shocked to learn that four conventional eggs contain more PUFAs than a tablespoon of canola oil. Even more stunned to realize that labels like “pastured,” “free-range,” and even “organic” aren't protecting us the way we think. In today's episode, I sat down with Ashley Armstrong—a mechanical engineer turned regenerative farmer and founder of Angel Acres and Nourish Cooperative—to expose the dirty truth behind our egg supply. We break down how most “healthy” eggs are still packed with polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), why that's a metabolic nightmare, and how industrial chicken feed is quietly hijacking your health goals. We also dig into the sketchy marketing terms used by big food companies to fool well-meaning consumers, why bird flu panic is likely more scam than science, and what it means when your eggshells are too thin to crack cleanly. This episode will change the way you shop—and help you rethink what quality food really means.   " We are what we eat, but we are also what what we eat eats." ~ Ashley Armstrong   In This Episode: - The hidden PUFAs in conventional and “high-quality” eggs - The health risks of high-PUFA eggs - Arsenic in chicken feed - Marketing deception in the egg industry - Why pasture-raised doesn't always mean better - How to choose better eggs - How antibiotics, vaccines & factory farming are linked - Skyrocketing egg prices and the bird flu controversy - Where to find Ashley's eggs - Ashley's vision for a regenerative food system - Why small farmers are under attack and how to support them - How to make better food choices starting today For more information, visit https://www.myersdetox.com    Heavy Metals Quiz: Find out your toxicity score and receive a free video series on detoxification.

Traditional L&D strategies rely too much on hope. Hope that training will stick, hope that stakeholders will engage, and hope that impact will follow. But as Dani Johnson of RedThread Research explains in this episode, hope isn’t a plan. Drawing on insights from the latest report, Dani outlines why L&D’s influence in strategic business discussions is declining - and what leaders must do to reverse the trend. She breaks down the five essential elements of a progressive L&D strategy, from organisational alignment and stakeholder engagement to tech, data, and operational discipline. Dani also explores the tension between consistency and adaptability, how to move beyond training requests to real business conversations, and why outdated approaches to learning persist despite their lack of impact. For L&D professionals ready to move from reactive to strategic, this episode offers a clear, research-backed blueprint for building a modern, credible, and business-aligned L&D function. Take your L&D to the next level Take advantage of thousands of hours of analysis. Hundreds of conversations with industry innovators and 25+ years of hands-on global L&D leadership. It's all distilled into one framework to help you level up L&D. Access the L&D Maturity Model here - https://360learning.com/maturity-model KEY TAKEAWAYS Hope is not a strategy – intentionality is essential. Don´t just drift, create a business need driven strategy, follow it and measure progress. Dani´s study shows that L&D is increasingly losing strategic influence. L&D needs to shift from being order-takers to being business partners. Get out from behind your desk. Use the same language as stakeholders. L&D needs to provide stability but also be flexible enough to quickly meet emerging needs. Tech and data are strategic levers, not just tools. Buy the right tech. BEST MOMENTS "What has gotten us here is not going to get us into the future." "Be intentional about making that strategy and then delivering on that strategy." "It is time to quit looking at old models and traditional ways of doing things." "We are here for a planned, demonstrable impact." "Two big things are driving this integration of technology and data: the first is skills... the second is AI."
