Bud Weinstein argues that coal remains a vital base load power source for the US grid, noting that while coal's share has dropped to 15-20%, these plants are critical because they operate 24/7, meeting high electricity demands that renewables cannot always satisfy.

In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a conversation that completely solidified what it really takes to operate at the next level in business. There are clear patterns in how the most successful founders think, make decisions, and show up in their businesses. Once you recognize them, it becomes impossible to ignore where you might be holding yourself back. This conversation is less about tactics and more about the subtle shifts in identity and standards that change your trajectory. If you've been feeling the pull toward your next level, but you know it's going to require a different version of you, you're going to want to listen to this one.

In this episode of Tacos & Tech, Neal Bloom sits down with Troy Helming, founder and CEO of EarthGrid, to explore one of the most ambitious infrastructure plays of our time: building an underground super grid. Troy shares how a chance conversation about Navy SEAL plasma cutters sparked the idea for plasma-based tunnel boring, and how EarthGrid is now using that technology to dramatically reduce the cost, time, and friction of underground infrastructure.The conversation spans Troy's decades-long journey through clean energy, wind, solar, and transmission, the real bottlenecks slowing the energy transition, and why underground infrastructure may be the fastest path to unlocking renewable power, AI data centres, water systems, and broadband at scale. From melting granite with plasma to navigating regulation as a registered utility, this episode is a masterclass in deep tech, systems thinking, and building for generational impact.Key Topics Covered* The origin story of EarthGrid and plasma-based tunnel boring* How a Navy SEAL plasma cutting torch inspired a new approach to excavation* The 10–20 year reality of permitting overhead power lines* How underground infrastructure cuts permitting timelines dramatically* Troy's background in wind and solar and building multi-billion-dollar energy platforms* Plasma excavation vs traditional drilling, blasting, and tunneling* EarthGrid's patented “Thunderdome” spoils removal system* Trenching vs tunneling use cases for data centers, utilities, and substations* Why EarthGrid operates as both a contractor and a utility* The BOOM model: Build, Own, Operate, Maintain* Underground infrastructure as long-term, cash-flowing real estate* AI-driven data center demand and the infrastructure crunch* Why regulation can be a competitive advantage, not a blocker* Troy's long-term vision for quality-of-life improvements through infrastructureLinks & Resources* EarthGridConnect on Linkedin* Troy Helming* Neal Bloom This is a public episode.

Hour 2 of Jake & Ben on February 23, 2026 Everyone knows that LeBron James is a poison behind the scenes in the NBA. Will the NBA Change at all once he's out?  Do Isaiah Collier, Kyle Filipowski or Cody Williams have roles with the Utah Jazz next season? Do you recognize these famous voices?

If you're a Reflector, this episode is your personalised 2026 forecast and part three of the 2026 "Future of Business" series. I'm taking the five business themes from Episode 2 (episode 305 of the All That Jazze Podcast) and the major astrological transits from Episode 1 (Episode 304) and translating them specifically for you as a Reflector in business.Almost nothing in the business space has been designed with you in mind. Most frameworks assume consistent energy, a fixed identity, and certainty - and you don't operate that way. But 2026 is asking for exactly what you do naturally: pattern recognition, nuance, truth-telling, and the ability to name what nobody else is naming. The world is catching up to how you've always operated.What You'll Learn:❤️‍

After 7 years and hundreds of conversations with successful entrepreneurial Christian women, I saw a pattern that HAD to be confronted: money guilt, ambition shame, and a quiet aversion to wealth — even among women generating $250K, $400K, $700K. We are not called to shrink around money. We are not called to apologize for the ambition God Himself placed in us. And we are certainly not called to play small to make others (or ourselves) comfortable. If you've ever wrestled with "how much is too much," this one will recalibrate you. This is for the successful entrepreneurial woman who knows she's destined for more & ready to: • Release guilt around success • Reject performative wealth • Build generational impact • Operate fully in her Christ-identity • Make millions without loving money Wealth is not about "getting rich." It's about refusing to cap what God wants to bless with more. Hear me, sister: It is safe.  It is godly. It is aligned.... To become a wealthy woman of faith.

Recorded October 31, 2025 In this episode of BioTalk Unzipped, Gregory Austin and Dr. Chad Briscoe sit down with Dr. Kate Neville, immunologist turned seasoned biotech patent attorney at Marshall, Gerstein & Borun, to unpack one of the most misunderstood and mission-critical areas of life sciences: intellectual property.If you are a biotech founder, scientist, executive, or investor, this conversation is essential listening.We explore what patent prosecution really means, when startups should begin thinking about IP protection, how “freedom to operate” can determine commercial viability, and how emerging AI tools are reshaping the patent landscape.Dr. Neville brings 25+ years of experience guiding university spin-outs, biotech startups, and global pharmaceutical companies through complex patent strategy. She has helped secure patents for FDA-approved drugs and offers a rare dual perspective as both scientist and attorney.In This Episode We Discuss:• The difference between patent prosecution and patent litigation• Why it is never too early for biotech startups to think about IP• The U.S. one-year grace period vs. Europe's stricter disclosure rules• What “Freedom to Operate” really means for commercialization• Antibody patents, CDR regions, and the doctrine of equivalents• How premature disclosure can impact global patent strategy• The real-world back-and-forth of patent office “office actions”• AI-assisted prior art search at the USPTO — opportunity or risk?• How funding cycles influence patent filing decisions• Women in biotech leadership and venture funding disparities• The most rewarding part of protecting life-changing therapiesWe also break down the USPTO's new AI pilot programs designed to modernize patent examination and discuss how artificial intelligence may impact biotech patenting over the next several years.Why This MattersIntellectual property is often the single most valuable asset in a biotech company.Strong IP strategy can unlock funding, partnerships, and market exclusivity.Weak or mistimed IP decisions can permanently limit global opportunity.For founders and scientists: timing, geography, and disclosure discipline matter more than most people realize.About Our GuestDr. Kate NevillePartner, Marshall, Gerstein & BorunPhD in Immunology, JDLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-neville-phd/Firm Bio: https://www.marshallip.com/katherine-l-neville-ph-d/Charity Highlight: Girls on the Run ChicagoAn organization building confidence and resilience in young girls through mentorship and athletic achievement.https://www.girlsontherun.org/HostsDr. Chad BriscoeBioanalytical Scientific Leaderhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/chadbriscoe/Gregory AustinDirector, Business Development | Bioanalysishttps://www.linkedin.com/in/gregoryaustin1/If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe to BioTalk Unzipped on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform and share with a colleague in biotech, pharma, or life sciences innovation.

Join us as Peter explores the core principles and practices of FinOps that help organizations optimize cloud spend without slowing innovation. Peter walks through what FinOps really is, why it matters beyond just cost cutting, and how engineers can collaborate effectively with finance teams to design cost-aware architectures. You'll learn about the three phases of FinOps (Inform, Optimize, Operate), how to get leadership buy-in for cloud initiatives, and practical strategies for managing cloud costs from the architecture phase through operations. This episode covers real-world scenarios from hybrid cloud cost tracking to building cost models before migrations, and explains how FinOps fits into your existing team structure regardless of organization size.

Your heart reveals more about your performance capacity than you think. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Dr. Leah Lagos, clinical psychologist and performance expert, to explore the science of heart rate variability and how a simple breathing practice can transform cognitive performance, emotional regulation, and long-term resilience. From working with elite athletes on the PGA Tour to coaching world leaders and executives, Dr. Lagos breaks down how resonant frequency breathing changes baseline heart rhythms, prevents cognitive fatigue, and allows high performers to make critical decisions without fear. This conversation will equip you with the physiological tools that separate sustained excellence from burnout. Here's what you'll learn: Why heart rate variability is a more reliable indicator of cognitive capacity than most people realize How 15 minutes of resonant frequency breathing twice a day can rewire your nervous system Why comparing your HRV to others is meaningless and what metrics actually matter for performance Want to improve your performance? Start with your heart. ---- Show Notes: 02:58 – Dr. Leah Lagos explains the science of resonant frequency breathing and how it creates homeostasis in the nervous system. 06:20 – Why comparing your HRV to others is meaningless and what metrics actually matter for performance. 12:06 – How chronic stress compounds over time and shows up reliably in your heart rate variability. 13:36 – The lifestyle factors that tank HRV: alcohol, dehydration, excessive caffeine, and who you spend time with. 17:59 – Why HRV training expands prefrontal lobe bandwidth and prevents cognitive fatigue under pressure. 22:35 – How resonant frequency breathing differs from meditation and produces measurable baseline changes in four weeks. 28:45 – The practical protocol: 15 minutes twice a day, finding your resonant frequency, and committing for ten weeks. 37:35 – The role of vagal tone in connecting heart, gut, and brain for better decision-making and health. 39:25 – Why breathwork is a must-have practice for longevity and sustained excellence, not just recovery. ---- Links & Resources: Dr. Leah Lagos Heart Breath Mind by Dr. Leah Lagos Oura Ring WHOOP Garmin Polar Alex Honnold ---- Do you love this podcast and want to see more game changing content?

The deal isn't closed by force; it's closed by clarity. Most of you are white-knuckling the steering wheel of your career, praying the upholstery doesn't rip before you hit your Q4 numbers. You're treating your discovery calls like a tactical extraction and your nervous system like a rented mule. It's high-friction, low-resonance, and frankly, it's a waste of your biological bandwidth. We sat down with Kevin Hubschmann, the founder of Laugh Dot Events, to discuss why your "professional" persona is actually a bottleneck for your ROI. Kevin transitioned from selling enterprise SaaS to what he calls "LaaS" (Laughter as a Service). But this isn't about telling jokes in the breakroom. This is about Human Physics. It's about using the mechanics of improv to regulate your state, navigate high-stakes environments, and stop being a "JV" version of yourself. When you operate with less internal friction, the market responds. Key Insights for the Coherent Leader: "F*** Your Good Idea": In improv and enterprise sales, your attachment to your own "brilliant" next line is a parasite. It eats your capacity to listen. Kevin highlights that true leverage comes from abandoning your script to meet the resonance of the room. Stop interrupting the flow to deliver a pitch the client didn't ask for. The Identity Tax: Most professionals suffer from a split-personality deficit—a "9-to-5" robot and a "5-to-9" human. This internal dissonance is a massive energy leak. Kevin's "unlock" happened when a mentor gave him permission to stop being a "Salesman" and start being himself. Authenticity isn't a soft skill; it's a regulation strategy. The Corporate Simulation: We all use the same twenty buzzwords—"circle back," "synergy," "alignment"—to mask the fact that we're stressed. Acknowledging the absurdity of the corporate vernacular reduces the collective pressure in the room. Laughter is the fastest way to reset a dysregulated team and restore cognitive bandwidth. Strategic Empathy as Leverage: Enterprise deals aren't won by "crushing" the opposition. They are won by making your champion a rockstar. Kevin's approach focuses on finding the right budget—shifting from a "tactical" spend to a "strategic" investment—by reading the human physics of the organization. The Shift: Stop trying to override your biology with more caffeine and louder presentations. Regulation is the new competitive advantage. Kevin's work proves that when you lean into levity and presence, you aren't just "having fun"—you are increasing your capacity to handle complexity. You are becoming the eye of the storm. If your team is currently vibrating at a frequency of pure anxiety, it's time to recalibrate. Operate with less friction. The results will follow the resonance. If your team is vibrating with unnecessary friction, Kevin is the eye of the storm you need. Get your offsite sorted before the wheels fall off. Navigate over to https://laughrx.laugh.events and fix your culture before it breaks you.

A new paper argues that the real action inside multimember commissions isn't in public votes or partisan balance; it's in the internal mechanics that shape every regulatory outcome.

Detroit locks in OT at 17 Mock Draft 1.0 on the Detroit Lions Podcast set the board with a clear priority. Offensive tackle at No. 17. The choice is Utah's Caleb Lomu. The approach mirrors the current reality. Taylor Decker played through a shoulder injury and a potential retirement hovers. Operate as if Decker will not be back. If he returns, that is preferred. A rookie develops behind veterans and the line stays stout. This is about protecting Jared Goff and sustaining a top NFL front five. Caleb Lomu scouting snapshot Lomu brings outstanding athleticism and smooth movement in space. His footwork on the edge is clean. He rarely opens the gate and gives up the corner to bend rushers. He uses length well. If he is beaten initially, he shows quick reaction and recovers. That recovery mirrors what the Lions need on the left side. It also covers for breakdowns that happen on long downs. The cons are real. He will be 24 as a rookie, almost as old as Penei Sewell. He does not move people in the run game. Power rushers can get into his pads and walk him back. Functional strength must improve. Add eight to ten pounds and those issues tighten up. Among the two Utah tackles, Spencer Fano looks better right now. In two years, Lomu's ceiling could be higher. Less mileage. More room to grow. The fit in Detroit works. The profile matches the offense and the locker room. Derek Moore's Senior Bowl surge Day two brings a Senior Bowl riser. Michigan edge Derek Moore flashed an upper tier week. His Michigan tape had peaks and long quiet stretches. Splash or invisible. In Mobile he stacked more consistent reps. One stood out. Aligned on the edge, he collapsed the blocker inside and forced the run into the A gap. That is assignment sound football. That translates to the Lions front. It shows he can anchor, set an edge, and still chase. He is a little smaller for the role, but the technique win matters. The arrow is up. What changes before the draft This is an early guess. Only one mock each year reflects personal board. The rest project what the Detroit Lions will do. The NFL combine hits at the end of the month. Pro days follow. Those trips produce fresh data from scouts and coaches. Notes from the road sharpen the board and the next iteration gets tighter. For now, tackle at 17 with Lomu, then Moore as the front seven boost. Needs met. Upside secured. The plan holds until new information moves it. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #caleblomu #utahutestackle #taylordeckershoulder #taylordeckerpotentialretirement #peneisewell #detroitlionsoffensiveline #lefttacklerecovery #bullrushpower #rungamemovement #spencerfano #derekmoore #michiganpassrusher #seniorbowlweek #agapspill #combineatendofmonth Learn more about your ad choices.

Michael McKee is charged with murdering his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer Tepe in their Columbus, Ohio home on December 30, 2025. But here's what should disturb you even more than the alleged crime itself: for eleven days after those killings, McKee was still employed as a vascular surgeon at an Illinois hospital. Credentialed. On staff. Working.How did he get that license in the first place? A malpractice attorney in Nevada had been trying to serve McKee for two years. The addresses McKee's surgical group provided didn't exist. His Nevada medical license had expired. And yet Illinois granted him credentials in 2024.This isn't just a McKee problem. This is a system problem. The National Practitioner Data Bank was created by Congress in 1986 specifically to stop doctors from hopping state lines to escape their past. But the public can't access it. And a USA Today investigation found that thirteen state medical boards didn't perform a single NPDB search in an entire year.Over 500 doctors disciplined in one state are practicing elsewhere with clean records. More than 250 who surrendered their licenses were able to practice in new states - a third with zero limitations. They call it "passing the trash" in education, and there's federal law against it for teachers. For doctors? Nothing.Tonight we examine the systemic failures that allowed Michael McKee to get licensed - and how many doctors just like him might be operating on patients right now.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #MedicalMalpractice #StateMedicalBoard #PatientSafety #DoctorDiscipline #PassingTheTrashJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Running a franchise is hard… but starting inside one of the hardest businesses in America? That's where grit is forged.   In this episode, Erik Van Horn and Jeff Herr go deep into their early days inside the tax business — the chaos, the break-ins, the angry customers, the 20-hour days, the software failures, and the pressure of thousands of franchisees depending on them.   These are the stories no one tells about franchising. And these are the lessons that built the problem-solving, strategist mindset they bring to the franchise world today.   Whether you're a franchisor, franchisee, or someone thinking about buying a franchise for time and financial freedom, this conversation will show you the real skillset that separates the pros from everyone else.   Key Takeaways:   -Why the hardest businesses produce the best franchise operators -Real war stories from the tax industry that shaped Erik and Jeff -How to build grit, resilience, and problem-solving ability -Why chaos teaches you more than comfort -How franchisees can think more strategically -The simple market test to measure your local brand awareness -How to stop living in the weeds and start thinking at CEO level   Timestamps:   00:00 – The Hardest Business We Ever Ran 03:00 – The Horse Story & Neighbor Garbage Lesson 04:41 – Early Tax Season War Stories 06:21 – Break-Ins, Exhaustion, and Chaos 07:32 – Jeff's Holiday Scar Tissue 09:11 – When Systems Break and Everyone's Angry 15:11 – Customer Pressure & Creating Raving Fans 17:21 – Stepping Back to Become a Strategic Entrepreneur 19:27 – Jeff's Evolution Into a Strategic Thinker 26:55 – Franchisee Strategy: Visibility, Local Branding & Market Penetration   Connect with Erik Van Horn:

Real estate is not complicated. But it is brutally hard. In this episode, I break down the biggest lie people tell about real estate investing. The steps are simple. Learn how to underwrite deals. Build relationships. Submit offers. Close. Operate. Refinance. Reinvest. Repeat. But everything that matters happens between those steps in real life. I talk about the emotional toll of this business, the late nights, the rejection from brokers, the months of negative cash flow, the partnership stress, the slow grind of building trust with lenders, investors, attorneys, and contractors. This is the part nobody puts on Instagram, but it is the part that determines who actually makes it. I also explain why this game takes years, not months. Why your first real deal might take three years to close. Why patience, identity, and delayed gratification matter more than any spreadsheet or deal analyzer. And why the people you are really competing with are operators who have been doing this for decades. If you are serious about owning real estate long term, building wealth for your family, and becoming a real operator, this episode will ground you back in reality and help you stay in the game when it gets uncomfortable. If this hits home and you want tools and structure to support your journey, grab my free Multifamily Credibility Kit or explore the resources in my Stan store. They are built to help you show up as a real operator, even if you are early in the game.

If you're tired of starting over, negotiating with yourself, or feeling mentally drained by simple decisions, this episode will change how you approach discipline forever.In this episode of The Highly Effective Man Podcast, JP Bolwahnn breaks down why chaos isn't laziness—it's decision fatigue—and how elite men use non-negotiables to eliminate negotiation, restore self-trust, and operate with real mental authority.This isn't motivation.It's a system install.You'll learn:Why discipline fails when everything in your life is optionalHow non-negotiables eliminate mental noise and burnoutThe difference between goals and standards—and why standards win under pressureHow to enforce personal rules without guilt or extremesWhy reliable men are built through identity-based discipline, not willpowerIf you're a busy man who wants consistency, confidence, and control over your life again—this episode is for you.

After working with elite athletes, entrepreneurs, and high performers for decades, the same patterns show up again and again.In this episode, I break down four core habits of successful people that separate the top 1 percent from everyone else, in business and in life.This isn't about hacks, trends, or shiny new strategies.It's about fundamentals that actually move the needle.You'll learn:

In this very special crossover episode, I sat down with my good friend Joe Dellefave on the Creative Finance Playbook podcast to share the real story of why I walked away from a highly profitable wholesaling business at the peak of COVID to go all-in on self-storage. Everyone thought I was crazy—until they saw what storage could do. We dive into how I run nearly 900 units across multiple states with no employees, why wholesaling left me feeling stuck and overworked, and how storage helped me reclaim my time and build scalable, predictable wealth. I also break down the first deals I did—none of which used my own money—and share how creative finance, focus, and a powerful "why" made it all possible. If you're grinding in single-family and wondering if there's a better way, this episode is your roadmap out. You'll Learn How To: Transition from single-family to storage investing with confidence Break through limiting beliefs and start building wealth now Use SBA loans, seller financing, and private capital to fund your deals Find clarity on your "buy box" and attract the right opportunities Operate remote storage businesses efficiently—even with a small team What You'll Learn in This Episode: [0:00] From wholesaling grind to freedom—my story in a nutshell [2:10] Real talk: building a business I wanted to escape from [5:17] The cashflow myth of rentals and why storage made more sense [7:39] The mastermind moment that sparked my big pivot [11:07] The limiting beliefs that almost kept me out of storage [14:15] My first $0-down deal and how it came from absolute clarity [17:19] How to build trust, communicate like a pro, and close confidently [19:18] Running 900 units remotely with no on-site staff [22:49] The power of recession-resistant income and small market strategy [25:02] Why finding the right tribe is the fastest path to success Who This Episode Is For: Wholesalers, flippers, and landlords tired of being on the hamster wheel Investors looking for more scalable, predictable cash flow Anyone craving a business model that gives you your life back Action takers ready to make 2026 the year of their first storage facility Why You Should Listen: Leaving a profitable business wasn't easy—but it was necessary. I knew there had to be a better way to create real freedom, and storage became the answer. In this episode, I share the full behind-the-scenes of how I made the leap, what it took, and why I'll never look back. If you've ever wondered, "Is there more than this?"—the answer is yes.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Michael Keller on Sunday, January 4, 2026  at Redeemer LSQ. The Scripture reference is 1 Samuel 15:7-23.

In Round 104 of the Tactical Transition Tips on the Transition Drill Podcast, transition doesn't just test your resume, it tests your reputation, especially if you're a veteran or first responder whose career can be judged by optics instead of context. If you don't own your story with calm clarity, someone else will shape it for you, and you'll be stuck responding instead of leading. In this Tactical Transition Tips episode, you're going to look at a transition stressor that rarely gets talked about early in a career: the “trailer” you tow into every interview, background, lateral process, and post-service environment, even when you did your job professionally for years. In high-liability professions, being cleared doesn't always mean being untouched, and pieces of your history can linger through investigations, complaints, policy reviews, rumors, or public attention. This isn't about spinning your story or pretending nothing happened. It's about being prepared to explain your career with accuracy and credibility, without defensiveness, over-explaining, or blame. Your narrative already exists. The only question is whether you take ownership of it before someone else reads it back to you in a hiring process. You'll hear what “control the narrative” actually means in practice: clear facts, clear outcomes, and clear lessons, delivered with professional tone, because credibility lives in how you carry the explanation, not in a perfectly polished line. Close Range Group (transitioning within a year): Own Your Story Before Someone Else Does — Identify the moments that could raise questions and write a factual explanation: what happened, what the outcome was, and what you learned. You're doing this now so you don't get forced into a reactive, emotional explanation when the stakes are highest. Medium Range Group (transitioning in 3 to 5 years): Choose mentors who will vouch for character, not just skill — Build relationships with people who've watched how you operate over time, then tighten your habits in writing and communication so your reputation holds up even when something gets read out of context. Long Range Group (transitioning in a decade or more): Live like everything is reviewable — Operate with discipline and professionalism now, because most career damage comes from patterns, and patterns are what people use to decide whether they trust you later.
