On this week's Access Hour, we bring you a conversation with Gareth Dennis, a United Kingdom-based engineer and author, who was hosted by the High Speed Rail Alliance (https://www.hsrail.org) on July 11, 2025 for a discussion about his new book How the Railways Will Fix the Future. In it, he looks at the history of railways (including the role they have played in extraction and exploitation) but focuses on their power to tackle issues facing us today and to shape a better future. Topics for discussion included lessons to learn from global railway operations on what works best long-term, and what this might mean in the United States. The conversation starts with introductions from staff of the High-Speed Rail Alliance, Rick Harnish and Chris Ott.

Yard Stick is pioneering the measurement of soil carbon, addressing one of the most invisible yet critical components of climate solutions. With $18 million in funding, the company has developed spectral measurement technology that quantifies soil carbon stocks at field level—unlocking the potential of agricultural systems that store many times more carbon than all plant and animal biomass combined. In this episode, we sat down with Chris Tolles, CEO and Co-Founder of Yard Stick, to explore how they're commercializing breakthrough soil science, navigating a skeptical market, and building trust in the emerging voluntary carbon market. Topics Discussed: The critical role of soil carbon in climate solutions versus traditional forest carbon storage Yard Stick's origin story during COVID-19 and meeting co-founders in a Slack group How the Department of Energy's Smart Farm program catalyzed soil carbon measurement technology The connection between agricultural feedstocks, biofuels, and carbon intensity measurements Building credibility in a scientifically skeptical field through academic publishing Marketing strategy centered on trust-building rather than traditional tech company approaches The challenge of creating a new market category for soil carbon measurement services GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Lead with scientific credibility when entering skeptical markets: Chris made the deliberate decision to publish in Geoderma, the world's top soil science journal, despite the pain and slowness of academic publishing. He explains, "Because we're operating in an industry with so much suspicion around measurement and we're trying to make a claim that we're replacing an alternative existing mature measurement technology, I just didn't see a world in which I could sleep at night without the rigor that scientific publishing represents." B2B founders entering fields with established scientific communities should prioritize credibility over speed, especially when challenging existing measurement standards. Be radically transparent about limitations to build trust: Rather than overselling capabilities, Yard Stick proactively discloses their technology's current limitations. Chris notes, "I think we are way above average, candid about the opportunity and the limitations of our technology with our customers... just like put your liabilities on the table. Then when a customer does say yes, despite those risks, you're all on the same page about what to expect." This approach is particularly powerful in technical fields where customers have sophisticated evaluation capabilities. Participate authentically in existing industry establishments: Instead of positioning as disruptors, Yard Stick actively participates in traditional soil science conferences and communities. Chris emphasizes, "We go to the Soil Science Society of America's annual meeting, we present there, we have real scientists present there. Being able to hang on their terms is important." B2B founders should consider how to earn credibility within existing professional communities rather than trying to bypass them entirely. Focus on enabling customer success rather than fighting competitors: Chris takes a "big tent" approach to the climate solutions space, refusing to position against other carbon removal technologies. He explains, "I see a lot of people in the soil ecosystem fight for their teeny little sliver of airtime by talking down to engineered solutions... I think that's a waste of time because we need all of these solutions to be successful in order for the whole ecosystem to grow." This collaborative positioning helps expand the overall market opportunity. Build your go-to-market strategy around regulatory tailwinds: Yard Stick's timing aligned perfectly with Department of Energy initiatives to reduce carbon intensity in agricultural feedstocks. Chris explains how they capitalized on the DOE's Smart Farm program, which recognized the need for field-level emissions measurement. B2B founders should identify regulatory or policy drivers that create urgency for their solutions and align their market entry accordingly.   //   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   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Podcast 294 – The Ashford Lane Bar That Celebrates the Bad Boys of Sports – Mara Mullen – Streakers   Dunwoody has never seen a sports bar like this. Streakers at Politan Row leans into the wild side of sports, with wall-to-wall scandals, jello shots in syringes, and cocktails named after the most notorious names in the game. It's fun, bold, and completely different from anything else around.   It's also the only bar at Politan Row with TVs, so you can catch every big play without leaving your seat. Even better, you can order food from any vendor in the hall right to your table. No lines, no missing the moment, just good eats and wild drinks.   Mara Mullen leads the bar program here and at two more Politan Row favorites. Bar Politan offers quick, classic cocktails right when you walk in. Okay Anny's is the neon-lit lounge in the back, full of ‘90s nostalgia and DJ energy. Together, they've turned Ashford Lane into Dunwoody's new late-night scene.   https://whatsupdunwoody.com/podcast-294-the-ashford-lane-bar-that-celebrates-the-bad-boys-of-sports-mara-mullen-streakers/   What's Up Dunwoody Links:

Podcast 293 – Moondog Grows From Dunwoody Growlers to Chamblee Dog Friendly Pub – Tommy Burda   Moondog Growlers holds a special place in my heart. It was the first on-location interview Justin and I ever recorded back in the early podcast days. Fast forward to today and owners Tommy and Felicia Burda have spread that same welcoming Dunwoody vibe to Chamblee with Moondog Pub & Grub. Tommy swore he would never open a restaurant, but then he spotted the perfect building behind Whole Foods along the Rail Trail. Now Moondog Pub & Grub is serving up Wisconsin cheese curds, prime rib Saturdays, and a brunch that makes you want to linger all afternoon. The place feels like an extension of the neighborhood, with dogs napping on the patio, friends catching up over bourbon flights, families dropping by on a bike ride, and live music from local favorites like the Mike Veal Band and The Gregory Marshall Roth Band filling the room most nights. It is everything locals love about Moondog Growlers, just with a full kitchen and even more space to kick back and feel at home.   https://whatsupdunwoody.com/podcast-293-moondog-grows-from-dunwoody-growlers-to-chamblees-dog-friendly-pub-grub-tommy-burda/   What's Up Dunwoody Links:

On this Fourth of July Week, Will You "Stand in the Gap" for Our County to Participate in and Lead a Great Awakening and Spiritual Renewal in America? MESSAGE SUMMARY: On July 4, 1776, the signers of the Declaration of Independence began a revolution which started the United States of America. The Revolution was rooted in the belief that all people, even the King and governmental leaders, are subject to the rule of God and not above the law and; and everyone is endowed by God, our Creator, with certain inalienable rights. Many people have tried to deny that America's founders created a country which wove together the idea of self-governance with Christian principles. Now, it appears, the focus is to get rid of things relating America to Christianity, the Bible, or anything that smacks of God – and, pretty much these efforts to remove God's influence from the public square, appear to be succeeding. We need to hear, in Today's sermon, what our founders said regarding America's Christian base. However, not long after the enactment of the Constitution in the late 1700s, morality and church attendance declined drastically into a Spiritual Depression. The answer became the nationwide implementation of "Concerts of Prayer", across all Christian denominations, that led to an American Spiritual Awakening. Today, through our actions, laws, and cultural revisions of our founding Christian principles, we have told God that we don't want Him around. Therefore, God has obliged us; and He has done what He said He would do -- God is withdrawing His presence and His protection and holding back His divine wisdom, which has guided us for so many years. God is leaving us to reap the consequences of our focus away from Him and without Him. The Lord Said through Ezekiel: "I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none.". We must have a Spiritual Awakening, in our country, beginning today!  Will You "Stand in the Gap"?   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, Sabbath rest is truly an unbelievable gift! Thank you that there is nothing I can do to earn your love; it comes without any strings attached. As I close my eyes for these few minutes before you, all I can say is, thank you! In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 133). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM A CHILD OF GOD. Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become children of God-- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. John 1:12f SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Ezekiel 22:30; Daniel 4:28-32; Matthew 22:19-21; Isaiah 29:8-21; (Click the Bible References, in blue, below to read the full Bible text for these Scripture References.).

Been curious about menstrual cups? Join in this insightful discussion as Sivaranjani Ganapathy shares her decade-long experience, revealing not just the ease and comfort (say goodbye to rashes and hello to tummy-sleeping freedom!), but also a less-talked-about aspect: how menstrual cups can sometimes show changes in your period blood.Sivaranjani Ganapathy's health journey has been deeply personal and transformative. She was diagnosed with PCOD and faced unexplained infertility, undergoing conventional treatments for two years. These included follicular studies (both with and without medications), failed IUI procedures, and ultimately being offered IVF as the only remaining option.A miscarriage following a spontaneous conception became a pivotal moment—it showed her that conception was possible, but sustaining the pregnancy was the challenge. This insight led her to shift her approach. By tuning into her body and trusting its signals, she was able to conceive naturally—twice—without medical intervention.The process required deep unlearning and working through emotional trauma. Today, Sivaranjani is dedicated to helping other women reconnect with their bodies, release emotional stagnation, and realign with their feminine energy to support healthy menstruation and enhance fertility.Dive deep into the concept of "stagnation" – that darker period blood and clots – and explore practical, gentle methods to encourage healthy flow. Discover:Simple Self-Care Rituals: Learn step-by-step instructions for a gentle uterus massage you can do at home (when not on your period!) to support healthy circulation.The Power of Castor Oil Packs: Uncover how castor oil packs can be a powerful tool for addressing stagnation (with important considerations if you're planning pregnancy!).Easy Acupressure Points: Find out specific acupressure points on your hands that you can gently press or use with magnets or seeds to support your uterus and ovaries.The Liver Connection: Understand the surprising role your liver plays in period health and learn a simple acupressure point to support liver detoxification.But this isn't just about the physical! Explore the fascinating connection between your emotions and your menstrual cycle. Discover how:Unprocessed Emotions: Anger, frustration, fear, and deeply held patterns of shame or the need for validation can manifest as period discomfort and stagnation.Chakra Insights: Get a brief introduction to the chakra system and how imbalances in your root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown chakras can be linked to physical issues.A Quick Chakra Check-in: Participate in a simple color association exercise to gain potential insights into which energy centers might need your attention.If you've tried everything for period issues without lasting relief, this episode encourages you to consider the often-overlooked emotional landscape. Learn about simple practices like guided meditations, frequency music, journaling, and bodywork that can support emotional release and positively impact your period health.Plus, get valuable insights into maintaining a healthy vaginal microbiome, especially if you're using menstrual cups or on a fertility journey. Discover signs of imbalance and simple ways to support your vaginal flora through probiotics.Whether you're a long-time menstrual cup user, struggling with period discomfort, or curious about the holistic connection between your body and emotions, this episode offers practical tips and a fresh perspective on nurturing your cycle.Connect with Sivaranjani Ganapathy:Instagram:
