In times of great division, disruption, and uncertainty, how can we find the ability to stay grounded? While each of us may find we have different answers, Here are a few that have been emerging for me recently:The first - remembering, in the words of one of today's guests: you don't have to do it alone. Remembering the power (and necessity) of seeking out supportive community, and friends. The second -turning to history. Gaining perspective and insight by revisiting times in the past where humans have collectively endured, and persevered in the face of tremendous adversity.The third - turning to the wisdom of elders.Seeking out the wise and caring teachers, mentors, and leaders in our communities who are further along the path and can offer guidance from where they stand. Two of these modern elders in many ways are Mark Nepo and Elizabeth Lesser.Chosen as one of OWN's SuperSoul 100, a group of inspired leaders using their gifts and voices to elevate humanity, Mark Nepo is one of the great poets and spiritual guides of our time. And bestselling author, and Co-Founder of Omega Institute, one of the world's leading conference and retreat centers, Elizabeth Lesser has had the opportunity to learn from, and collaborate with many of the greatest spiritual teachers and leaders around the world. Something she's done since Omega was first founded in 1977. I asked Elizabeth and Mark if they'd be willing to come together to engage in a rich conversation - sharing some of their own insights, practices, and ultimately what they've learned from some of their teachers about navigating troubling times. In this conversation (originally released in March 2025) we'll explore:The possibility of meeting whatever is here, including the grand challenges we are facing, with greater wisdom, balance, and love.For more on Mark please visit marknepo.comFor more on Elizabeth check out elizabethlesser.org, and for more on Omega Institute please visit: eomega.orgI was reminded in this conversation that perhaps the most potent way we might find our way through these times, And back to each other,Is by remembering that at some level we are all made of the same stuff. Each one of us, a human being - part of a larger whole.A reminder which in Mark's words took this form:“When we come back into direct connection with life,There's a reverence for life. And when we have a reverence for life we can't do harm.”Did you find this episode inspiring?

Everything that is born will have a life-span and a death. All building ends in ruin, eery meeting ends in parting...but ruin too comes to an end, and something new is born.

In this episode of the Smells Like Money Podcast, we continue a timely and critical conversation on innovation, risk management, and the future of water and wastewater infrastructure. As pressures on public systems intensify—from aging facilities and workforce shortages to emerging contaminants and energy constraints—this discussion explores how engineers, utilities, and public agencies can responsibly adopt new technologies without compromising public health, safety, or trust.We examine how long-standing “orthodox beliefs” within engineering and infrastructure decision-making can unintentionally slow progress and limit innovation. The episode challenges the industry to rethink who has a seat at the table and why interdisciplinary collaboration—across engineering, technology, energy, remediation, and environmental restoration—is becoming essential to solving today's most complex infrastructure problems.The conversation dives into real-world challenges facing water and wastewater systems, including landlocked treatment facilities, oversized plants, PFAS treatment complexities, and increasing infrastructure demands driven by data centers and energy use. Rather than defaulting to costly “build it bigger” solutions, we explore how modular treatment systems, pilot testing, treatability studies, batch processing, and public-private partnerships can offer smarter, more adaptable paths forward.We also discuss how workforce shortages are accelerating the need for automation, AI, and data-driven decision-making—and how these tools can support engineers rather than replace professional judgment. Drawing on examples from adjacent industries, the episode highlights how cross-industry thinking has already delivered measurable outcomes, including cleaner waterways, restored ecosystems, improved system efficiency, and long-term operational resilience.This episode closes with a clear call to action: innovation in water and civil infrastructure is no longer a future consideration—it is a present-day responsibility. Progress happens when the industry shifts from asking why we can't to how we can, using technology as a tool to enhance resilience, sustainability, and system optimization while maintaining public confidence.earn more about ASCE at asce.orgConnect With Ken Mika, PE:Tetra TechEmail: ken.mika@tetratech.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kennethrmika/Website:asce.orgI hope you find this episode as informative and as exciting as we have.Please let us know your thoughts about the episode!Connect with Suzan Chin-Taylor, host of The DooDoo Diva's Smells Like Money Podcast:Website: www.creativeraven.com | https://thetuitgroup.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/creativeraven/Email: raven@creativeraven.com Telephone: +1 760-217-8010Listen and subscribe here to your favorite platform:Apple Podcast - Google Podcast - Cast Box - Overcast - Pocket Casts - YouTube - Spotifyhttps://creativeraven.com/smells-like-money-podcast/ Subscribe to the Podcast:https://creativeraven.com/smells-like-money-podcast/Be a guest on our show:https://calendly.com/thetuitgroup/be-a-podcast-guestCheck Out my NEW Digital Marketing E-Course & Coaching Program just for Wastewater Pros:https://store.thetuitgroup.com/diy-digital-marketing-playbook-for-wastewater-pros#InfrastructureInnovation #WaterTech #EnergySolutions #CivilEngineering #WastewaterManagement #Sustainability #EnvironmentalEngineering #TechnologyInEngineering #SmartInfrastructure #FutureOfWater #EngineeringSolutions #PublicHealthSafety #CleanWater #InnovationInAction #SustainableSystems

In this episode of the Smells Like Money Podcast, we explore how the engineering and infrastructure community is evolving to meet the demands of a rapidly changing future. The conversation focuses on inclusion, leadership development, and innovation within the water and wastewater industry.We discuss a major shift within the American Society of Civil Engineers, where equal membership access is redefining who qualifies as an infrastructure professional and why this matters for the future of resilient systems. The episode highlights the value of professional organizations in continuing education, leadership growth, networking, and workforce development as the industry faces retirements, talent shortages, and increasing complexity.A key focus is placed on innovation priorities shaping water and wastewater infrastructure, including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity risks, aging assets, funding challenges, and long term resilience planning. We examine how AI can support better decision making by improving access to standards, manuals, and technical knowledge, while balancing risk and reward.This conversation reinforces why the future of infrastructure depends not only on technology, but on people, leadership, collaboration, and a willingness to move beyond the way things have always been done.Learn more about ASCE at asce.orgConnect With Ken Mika:Tetra TechEmail: ken.mika@tetratech.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kennethrmika/Website:asce.orgI hope you find this episode as informative and as exciting as we have.Please let us know your thoughts about the episode!Connect with Suzan Chin-Taylor, host of The DooDoo Diva's Smells Like Money Podcast:Website: www.creativeraven.com | https://thetuitgroup.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/creativeraven/Email: raven@creativeraven.com Telephone: +1 760-217-8010Listen and subscribe here to your favorite platform:Apple Podcast - Google Podcast - Cast Box - Overcast - Pocket Casts - YouTube - Spotifyhttps://creativeraven.com/smells-like-money-podcast/ Subscribe to the Podcast:https://creativeraven.com/smells-like-money-podcast/Be a guest on our show:https://calendly.com/thetuitgroup/be-a-podcast-guestCheck Out my NEW Digital Marketing E-Course & Coaching Program just for Wastewater Pros:https://store.thetuitgroup.com/diy-digital-marketing-playbook-for-wastewater-pros#SmellsLikeMoneyPodcast #WaterIndustry #WastewaterInnovation #CivilEngineering #ASCE #InfrastructureLeadership #AIinEngineering #FutureReady #WaterInfrastructure #ProfessionalDevelopment

Here I offer a guided meditation by offering the gift of lovingkindness in the form of phrases to loved ones.Then we move into a visualization where we radiate kindness energy out to drench ourselves in the warm energy of kindness.
