Read our deal analysis on PaladinPaladin Power CEO Ted Thomas—a U.S. Navy veteran with 20+ years in energy storage and the named inventor on multiple U.S. patents for stackable batteries and integrated power systems—joins Inside Startup Investing to explain how he helped pioneer integrated storage and why Paladin's patented, fire-safe, all-in-one system can make true home energy independence practical. We cover why the inverter is the real bottleneck, how Paladin's stackable 10 kW architecture fast-charges EVs and extends battery life, and how the single-device design replaces a tangle of inverters, batteries, and chargers for faster installs and lower cost. Ted shares traction (incl. enterprise wins like Disney), a revenue jump from < $1M to $7–$8M this year with $20M+ in sight, “Made in USA” manufacturing with Jabil, and what's next as Paladin pushes a decentralized power future.News: Paladin engages Aegis Capital Corp. for IPO advisory while it evaluates capital-markets options—no assurance of any IPO; timing/terms subject to market, regulatory and due-diligence outcomes.Chapters(00:00) We open with why batteries remain the bottleneck for EVs and home solar, and how Paladin's inverter-first architecture changes the equation; (03:28) Ted outlines the mission—make every home independent from the grid—plus why legacy systems were designed for grid-tie, not true autonomy; (06:58) we break down the bi-directional, stackable inverters (up to 80 kW in a compact footprint) and how routing solar directly to loads can double battery life; (09:15) cost and efficiency: delivering 30–60% lower system costs versus status-quo builds; (10:29) scaling: U.S. manufacturing with a contract partner, and why distribution/EPC channels are the fastest path to market; (12:00) whole-home power without load shedding, faster installs, and sub-90-minute at-home EV charging; (13:21) IP and moats: utility patents and why copycats face multi-year certification delays; (15:34) use cases and demand drivers—from Disney facilities to homeowners facing rising rates and outages; (20:56) generators vs storage: when backup gensets still make sense and when solar-plus-storage wins; (22:46) Ted's closing case for investors.
Ep 191 w/ Mark Phipps (Lost In Paradise Travel) – Off-Grid Mongolia & Southwest Africa: Reindeer Tribes, Wild Roads & Namibia SafarisIn this week's episode, I'm rejoined by Mark Phipps—author, avid traveller and owner of Lost in Paradise Travel—who returns with stories from two incredible journeys: a solo winter adventure to Mongolia and an epic three-week road trip through Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. This conversation is packed with logistics, unforgettable moments and plenty of wanderlust-inducing content that should seriously inspire your next big trip.We start with Mongolia, where Mark travelled completely solo during peak winter, experiencing minus eight degree temperatures and some of the most remote, off-grid travel you can imagine. He walks us through the entire journey—from a twelve-hour overnight bus from Ulaanbaatar to the northern town of Moron, then an eight-hour bone-rattling ride in a Soviet-era four-by-four across frozen rivers and dirt tracks with no signposts, before finally reaching the Dukha reindeer herders on the back of a reindeer itself. Mark spent two nights living with this semi-nomadic tribe just sixty-five kilometres from the Russian border, sleeping in traditional Gers, observing their daily life and experiencing one of the last truly authentic travel adventures left in the world. He shares what it's like to communicate with zero shared language, the food they eat, the spiritual connection to their reindeer, and why this trip requires permits, patience and a serious sense of adventure.From there, Mark takes us through central Mongolia—visiting Karakorum, the ancient capital under Genghis Khan, hiking in Khustai National Park to see wild horses roaming the steppes, and exploring the Mini Gobi with its massive sand dunes and shaggy Bactrian camels. He breaks down the logistics too: how to book buses when systems are old-school, why you need to work with local guesthouses, what it costs to hire a guide, and why Mongolia is one of those rare places where independent travel still feels properly wild.Then we shift continents entirely. Mark recounts an unforgettable three-week road trip with five friends across Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe—all done independently with rented four-by-fours and rooftop tents. He describes climbing the massive sand dunes of Sossusvlei, staying in open-air treehouses perched over rivers with hippos audible from bed, and driving deep into the Okavango Delta to witness Botswana's incredible elephant population up close. But the real highlight? Camping on the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans—a vast, otherworldly expanse where they drove wherever they wanted, watched the sun go down, cracked open beers around a fire and experienced the clearest view of the Milky Way Mark has ever seen. It's one of those moments he describes as truly once-in-a-lifetime.Mark also shares practical advice throughout: the best time of year to visit for wildlife (September to October), what to expect from border crossings, why you should let your tyre pressure down on the salt flats, and the mantra their safari guide lived by—"What nature provides, you will receive." It's a reminder that patience and flexibility are just as important as planning when it comes to African travel.Finally, we dive into Lost in Paradise Travel, Mark's new venture. After his friend had her passport stolen in Budapest on New Year's Day—completely disrupting their trip—Mark created a GPS-enabled passport wallet that connects to your iPhone's Find My app. It's trackable, has an audible alarm, protects your passport cover and holds all your travel documents in one place. He explains why passport loss is such a recurring problem in the travel industry, how much disruption it causes, and why this simple solution could save your next trip.

Despite the impact of avian flu, which has been devastating for some turkey farmers, the industry says there will not be a shortage this Christmas. Poultry farms were hit so badly in 2022 that many farmers brought in contingency plans to cope with the possibility of the disease striking them.Rural roads are significantly more dangerous than urban ones. The latest figures from the Department for Transport show that 956 people were killed in 2024, that's 72% more than on urban roads. The figures have been analysed by NFU Mutual insurance, and it's now calling for more specific training for driving on rural roads, especially for those who break the law.The Spanish region of Catalonia is still coping with the arrival of African swine fever, which was first diagnosed in wild boar on November 28th. There have now been 13 confirmed cases in wild boar, and 80,000 pigs are having to be slaughtered as a precaution. The authorities are looking into the possibility that the disease may have leaked from a research facility.Thousands of people are still not connected to the National Grid and rely on generators for power, according to the energy regulator. Ofgem estimates up to 2,000 properties in the UK are still off-grid. Some have been asked to pay hundreds of thousands of pounds if they want a connection. Now a charity in Northumberland says the government should do more to help.All week, we've been talking about rare breeds of livestock and at just 15 years of age, Sebastian Carr is quite the celebrity in the world of rare breed pigs. He's won awards for his herd of Saddlebacks. His passion for pigs began when he was just eight and he received four piglets as a Christmas present.Presenter = Caz Graham Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Chasing deals without purpose leads to empty success, here's how to build with meaning. In this episode of Real Estate Breakthrough, Christina Suter sits down with visionary and spiritual advisor Glenn Ambrose to explore the creation of Mountain Ridge Sanctuary, a spiritually-minded, off-grid community in the Dominican Republic. Glenn shares how listening to life's "flow" and aligning with purpose, not force, led him to acquire 187 acres of raw land and assemble a team to create a sustainable, eco-friendly haven. This isn't just a real estate project; it's a blueprint for building in alignment with your values. You'll Learn: • How to recognize when an idea has natural "traction" and how to follow its momentum. • Why building a winning team matters more than trying to know everything yourself. • The practical steps to structuring a visionary community project—from land acquisition and eco-friendly home styles to early investor opportunities. • How to merge spiritual intuition with grounded business strategy to create projects that are both meaningful and financially sound. Glenn's journey proves that the most impactful investments aren't just about returns—they're about creating spaces where people can live authentically, connected to nature and community. Whether you're looking to invest in purpose-driven projects or simply want to approach your own life and portfolio with more intention, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on what it means to build something that lasts.

Thousands of people are still not connected to the National Grid and rely on generators for power, according to the energy regulator. Ofgem estimates up to 2000 properties in the UK are still off-grid. Some have been asked to pay hundreds of thousands of pounds if they want a connection. Now a charity in Northumberland, where Ofgem identified a particularly large cluster of off-grid households, says the government should do more to help. Despite higher than average rainfall across some of the country, other areas are still in drought, following the exceptionally dry and hot summer. The National Drought Group has reported that record breaking rainfall in November helped the Midlands move out of drought, but parts of Sussex remain in drought.Rural roads are significantly more dangerous than urban ones. The latest figures from the Department for Transport show that 956 people were killed in 2024, that's 72% more than on urban roads. The figures have been analysed by NFU Mutual insurance and it's now calling for more specific training for driving on rural roads, especially for those who break the law. All week we're catching up with rare and native reeds. Longwool sheep of which there are several breeds, are on the priority list of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. There are just 99 registered flocks of the distinctive Lincoln Longwool and the number of sheep has declined to around eight hundred.Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

This week, the EAH team sat down with Aran Bates, Founder and CEO of Hydrologiq, to dive into the strategic deployment of hydrogen in the off-grid sector.We explore how Hydrologiq is moving beyond just the hardware, discussing the critical role of software and systems thinking in scaling up clean fuel adoption. Aran provides fascinating insights into distributed decarbonisation and the future of resilient microgrids.The conversation focuses on the synergy between Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and hydrogen, detailing the "hub-and-spoke" model that is revolutionizing how we power remote sites, temporary setups, and events—including a fun look at the hydrogen deployment at Boomtown Fair. Aran explains how their platform, Logiq, is the essential tool for managing multi-technology fleets and simplifying the hydrogen supply chain.It was a truly valuable chat, underscoring that the transition to hydrogen is as much about Logiq's operational efficiency as it is about the fuel itself.About Hydrologiq:Hydrologia makes hydrogen the turnkey, scalable and immediate diesel replacement for off-road machinery - decarbonising a US$327 billion global diesel machinery market that produces 1.3 gigatons of CO2e every year.They do this through Logiq - the platform that handles everything from supply chain integration to on-the-ground operations, making hydrogen an easy to adopt and scale decarbonisation choice.Born out of a passion to reduce the greenhouse gas impact society is having on the planet, they are enabling the hydrogen value chain to change how we store, move and use energy off-grid.About Aran Bates:Aran's experience sits at the intersection of technical development, business, and strategy gained over eight years of technology and innovation consulting, as well as start-up experience. Prior to Hydrologiq he spent two and a half years evaluating and studying the applicability of hydrogen on energy systems, now through the work being done at Hydrologiq, they are testing and proving that hydrogen is an answer.Previously, Aran founded his own digital start-up, bootstrapping it into an operating business within a year; launched new ventures inside of existing multinational businesses (e.g. designed and lead all aspects of the physical product and manufacturing for Holland and Barret's Healthbox offering, taking it from pure paper idea to live product in market MVP in three months); and advised many of the world's largest corporates on innovation, including acting as the direct advisor and coach to the global Head of Innovation at Rolls Royce Aerospace.--
In this episode of Face Value, hosts Tonia Vailas, MAI, AI-GRS, and Warren Boizot, SRA, AI-RRS, explore the unique challenges of valuing off-grid and rural properties with guest Beau Fox, SRA, an experienced appraiser from Warren, Pennsylvania.From Amish-built homes completed in just two weeks to properties powered solely by solar panels and wood stoves, the conversation delves into markets where traditional valuation methods don't always fit. The trio discusses how appraisers can navigate limited comparables, functional utility questions, and market competency when standard approaches fall short.Fox shares real-world insights into unconventional housing markets — where unfinished interiors may be the norm and private, community-based financing replaces conventional loans. The episode unpacks how appraisers can think beyond the textbook, adapt their methods, and accurately assess properties that operate entirely outside the grid.Whether you're an appraiser tackling your first off-grid assignment or a seasoned professional curious about niche markets, this episode offers practical takeaways and thought-provoking perspectives on what it really means to define “value” in unconventional real estate.
In this episode, Sean White sits down with Jesse Faircloth, founder of PVIT and off-grid engineering expert, to explore the world of off-grid living, homesteading, and the evolving landscape of solar and battery technology. They discuss the challenges and rewards of building self-sufficient homesteads, the role of PVIT in empowering rural communities, and the innovations making off-grid systems more accessible than ever. Jesse shares real-world stories from his work in Moab, Utah, insights on battery recycling, and tips for anyone interested in starting their own off-grid journey. The conversation also covers the importance of community engagement, the future of energy storage, and how technology is reshaping rural life. Topics covered: Off-grid living and homesteading PVIT (Photovoltaics and Integrated Technologies) Solar energy systems: grid-tied vs. off-grid Battery storage and recycling Rural innovation and community empowerment Homestead Hybrid Navigating permitting and infrastructure challenges The impact of electric vehicles and bidirectional charging Community solar projects and public land use Tips for aspiring homesteaders and off-grid enthusiasts The evolving role of technology in self-sufficiency Reach out Jesse Faircloth here: Email: jesse@pvit.solar Website: www.homesteadhybrid.com Learn more at www.solarSEAN.com and be sure to get NABCEP certified by taking Sean's classes at www.heatspring.com/sean www.solarsean.com/18hrpv
Hey, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com. It's another chilly 41-degree morning, and today we're tackling one of the least glamorous but most practical topics in prepping — laundry. It's one of those things we all take for granted until the grid goes down and suddenly you're staring at a pile of filthy clothes wondering how to keep your hygiene in check. I've never done a full episode on laundry before, and that's a shame — because clean clothes are critical to morale, health, and long-term survival.

In the podcast, we riff on words in the grid or clues (spoilers!), telling each other things we find funny or interesting about them. We'll also pick a favourite clue each, and explain how it works to the listener, and have a mini-quiz, also inspired by the puzzle. You don't have to solve or understand cryptic crosswords yourself to enjoy this podcast, but hopefully we might intrigue and tempt you to dip your toes in the water. Hosted on Acast.

I have noticed the hatred towards electric vehicles growing the past five years in the natural health world. The topic has become political and there is a clinging to tradition, similar to people that didn't want to abandon the horse and buggy for the automobile, but that will pass with time. I have been saying for years: Why not see the utility and different use cases in both electric cars and gas and diesel cars? In this long time coming episode I talk about why I love owning electric vehicles being 100% off grid, the expensive lessons i've learned over the years to do it easily, how electric cars can provide ultimate freedom with solar panels, the only two car brands I found that work easily off grid, the details of my off grid setup, and I share one source of information that breaks apart every common myth you've ever heard about EVs. The biggest focus of the show is on the electromagnetic field exposure that you get riding in them. I talk about radiofrequency (RF), magnetic, and electric fields and specific supplements that fully protect your cells and mitochondria from harmful effects, namely lipid peroxidation. Human health is about adaptation, not putting yourself in a bubble. We can enjoy modern technological advancements without sacrificing our health or sovereignty.

Today's Headlines: Former FBI Director James Comey pled not guilty to charges of obstruction and making false statements, with his trial now set for January 5th. Meanwhile, Trump's picking new enemies, calling for Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson to be jailed for “failing to protect ICE officers.” Both fired back, with Johnson saying it's not the first time Trump's tried to have a Black man unjustly arrested. Adding to that authoritarian flavor, new data shows nearly a quarter of FBI agents are now focused primarily on immigration enforcement — a number that hits 40% in some major field offices. Donald Trump announced that Israel and Hamas have finally agreed on the first phase of their ceasefire plan — Israel will pull back troops, hostages will go home, and prisoners will walk free. Qatar and Hamas added that the deal also opens the gates for aid to enter Gaza. At the same time, his administration quietly inked an executive agreement giving Qatar near–NATO-level security guarantees — a move that normally requires Senate approval, but apparently we're skipping that part now. In economic news, gold prices just hit a record high of $4,000 an ounce — the strongest rally since 1979 — while the dollar is down more than 9% this year, signaling a crisis of confidence in U.S. institutions. A 29-year-old Florida man was arrested for starting the January wildfires that destroyed over 17,000 homes in Malibu and Palisades, killing 30 people. And to end on a rare uplifting note, 64-year-old immunologist Fred Ramsdell won the Nobel Prize in Medicine — learning the news only after returning from an off-the-grid Montana vacation. Truly the anti-Trump.

Everyone wants to run away from society and build a queer homestead with their polycule, but what does it actually take to make that happen? We talk to artist and organizer Kamra Hakim about the land they bought in upstate New York, the artist residency/community space they created on it, and why conflict management is actually the most important skill in an off-grid queer community (besides knowing how to fix a generator). Hosted by Ally Beardsley and Babette Thomas, Gender Spiral is a quest to explore the modern experience of being a human in our gendered world.

Want to get off fossil fuels but don't know where to start? Thinking about ditching utilities but overwhelmed by the complexity? Many off-grid advocates attest that countercultural living saves money and infuses meaning into daily life.

Jessica Arno, also known as The Combat Midwife. Jessica is not only a midwife, but also an EMT who has trained military personnel on how to respond to emergencies involving women and children. In fact, she was personally headhunted by the Army to teach combat medics her expertise. In this episode, Jessica shares her powerful story of advocacy, beginning with her own mom's near-death experience during a VBAC in the hospital. From a young age, she saw firsthand how the system was failing women, and she knew she never wanted to be part of the medical system that was causing harm. We talk about the practical side of ‘what if' scenarios in birth, and Jessica gives some much-needed encouragement for women whose husbands may be hesitant about homebirth. This conversation is going to leave you feeling more prepared, more confident, and more supported in your journey.
