When it comes to our finances, we often wonder: Where does God's provision end and our responsibility begin? Should we simply wait and trust Him—or get to work and provide for ourselves?The truth is, it's not either-or. God calls us to both trust Him and participate in His provision. Not because He needs our help, but because He delights in working through us.Avoiding Two ExtremesYou've likely heard the phrase, “Let go and let God.” While it sounds spiritual, it can sometimes lead to passivity. On the other end of the spectrum, some of us live as if everything depends on us—hustling, stressing, and striving in our own strength.Scripture offers a better way: a life of faith that doesn't ignore work, and a life of work that doesn't ignore faith. God invites us into a partnership—trusting His sovereignty while faithfully engaging in our responsibilities.Paul writes in 2 Timothy 2:6, “It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops.” The farmer can't make the rain fall or the seeds grow, yet he tills, plants, and harvests. He works diligently while depending entirely on God for the increase.In the same way, we can't control the economy or prevent every financial emergency—but we can make wise choices. By living below our means, avoiding debt, and giving generously, we acknowledge God as our Provider while faithfully stewarding what He entrusts to us.God Provides—We ParticipatePsalm 104:14 reminds us, “You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to cultivate.” God causes the growth, yet invites us to cultivate it. His provision is not a one-sided transaction—it's a relationship.We see this throughout Scripture. When Jesus fed the 5,000, He didn't create food out of thin air. Instead, He multiplied a boy's simple lunch. God chooses to involve us, not because He lacks resources, but because He delights in using us to bless others.God's Word makes it clear that provision and work go hand in hand.Ephesians 4:28 urges, “Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor… so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.”1 Thessalonians 4:11–12 calls us to “work with your hands… so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.”Laziness is never encouraged, but neither is frantic self-reliance. Instead, Scripture calls us to wise diligence rooted in God's faithfulness.Stewardship means recognizing that everything belongs to God. We are not owners but managers, entrusted with His resources to reflect His character.And His provision is never just for us. Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 9:10–11, “He who supplies seed to the sower… will supply and multiply your seed for sowing… You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way.”God enriches us so that generosity might overflow through us—producing thanksgiving to Him.Living in the Beautiful In-BetweenSo how do we balance trust in God's provision with active participation?Pray before you plan—inviting God into your financial goals.Work with diligence, not fear—resting in His faithfulness, not your performance.Give generously—not because God needs your money, but because He invites you to reflect His heart.Rest confidently—knowing God is at work even when you sleep.At the end of the day, God delights in using ordinary people with ordinary means to display His extraordinary grace. He is the Provider, and we have the privilege of being His participants.Provision, then, is not just about a paycheck—it's about a partnership. Let's stop asking whether it's “all up to us” or “all up to God” and embrace the beautiful in-between: trusting Him, working faithfully, and joining Him in the joy of provision.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My wife and I inherited a house from a family member in another state. We'd like to keep it available for friends, family, or church members to use, rather than renting it out. What do you think about that approach?My wife and I are in our early 80s. Years ago, we used our Roth IRAs to pay off our home, allowing us to live debt-free in retirement. We use our IRA for charitable giving, but with the rising cost of living, I'm wondering if a reverse mortgage could be a smart tool. What's your advice?If I already have a living will, will my assets still need to go through the probate process?I've had a long-term care policy since 2018 with $400,000 in coverage, but I was told there's a six-month waiting period before it pays out. That seems long to me. Should I consider canceling the policy?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Jason Miller and Dale and Juanita Ryan - The biblical story, including what we see lived out in the life and teachings of Jesus, is this: God is love, we are loved, we are capable of loving others and we are called to a life of love. Participating in this story is, however, not always easy for us. Instead of welcoming the love of God, we sometimes find ourselves afraid that God is angry, distant, displeased, uncaring, or impatient. Instead of celebrating that we are loved, we sometimes fear that we are not lovable, not enough, or not measuring up. Instead of rejoicing in our calling to love others, we sometimes see other people through the distorting lens of our fears and judgments.  This fall, we'll be hosting a workshop led by Dale and Juanita Ryan to explore these dynamics in community. Whether you're able to join us in person for the workshop or not, this episode will help you get to know Dale and Juanita, and to hear the heart behind their work.  Until his retirement, Dale Ryan was a member of the faculty at Fuller Theological Seminary where he taught pastoral care classes about addiction, abuse and trauma. Currently Dr. Ryan is the executive director of the National Association for Christian Recovery, which he founded in 1990. He has earned a PhD (UCDavis, Biochemistry) and an M.Div. (Bethel Theological Seminary, St. Paul, MN). Juanita Ryan is a mental health clinical nurse specialist. She has had a private counseling practice for over 35 years. Because she writes and speaks about spirituality and trauma, many of the people she works with are seeking help in these areas.  To learn more about her you can visit her website. Dale and Juanita have been married for 55 years. They have two sons and four grandkids. Most of what they know about distorted images of God, of self and of others comes from personal experience.

Summary Dr. Amy Vertrees, a surgeon, author, podcast host, and certified coach, delivered the first session of a launch week series aimed at new attending physicians. The presentation focused on common mistakes new attendings make and strategies to avoid them. Dr.Vertrees emphasized that the information shared was based on her own experiences and lessons learned throughout her career. Dr.Vertrees began by outlining the week-long series of presentations, which would cover topics including office manager insights, money management for physicians, handling complications, legal risks, time management, and efficient note-taking. She emphasized that these sessions were designed to be interactive, encouraging participants to ask questions through chat or Q&A features. A central theme of Dr.Vertrees' presentation was the importance of mastery and recognition for job satisfaction. She explained that mastery means being good at one's job, while recognition involves being acknowledged for one's skills and contributions. Dr.Vertrees noted that this formula applies not only to physicians but to everyone in the workplace, highlighting the importance of recognizing others' contributions and allowing them to develop mastery in their roles. Dr.Vertrees discussed the significance of understanding organizational culture, including the mission, beliefs, and values of one's workplace. She advised new attendings to consider whether their personal values align with their organization's culture, as misalignment can lead to dissatisfaction. She also emphasized that new physicians bring valuable perspectives and should feel confident in suggesting changes, though she recommended approaching such suggestions carefully by first asking questions to understand existing practices. The presentation covered strategies for dealing with difficult colleagues, emphasizing that communication breakdowns can make any colleague difficult. Dr.Vertrees offered practical advice for improving interactions, including focusing on what people actually say rather than interpretations, examining what meaning one assigns to others' words, and understanding one's own stress responses (fight, flight, freeze, or fawn). She suggested that recognizing these patterns in oneself can help in understanding others' behaviors as well. Dr.Vertrees addressed the topic of being reported or receiving negative feedback, advising attendees to view such situations as opportunities for growth rather than threats. She emphasized the importance of participating in leadership positions and committees to have influence in one's organization, noting that "you're either at the table or you're on the menu." The presentation also covered personal development topics such as overcoming imposter syndrome, which Dr.Vertrees defined as feeling inadequate despite demonstrated success. She offered strategies for challenging negative thoughts by turning statements into questions and comparing oneself to past versions rather than to others. Dr.Vertrees distinguished between confidence (which comes from repeated experience) and self-confidence (the courage to act despite fear). Dr.Vertrees discussed the importance of marketing oneself effectively, emphasizing that marketing involves knowing one's values and being authentic. She encouraged attendees to embrace their unique qualities rather than conforming to stereotypical surgeon personas. She also addressed the topic of getting paid appropriately, emphasizing the importance of timely documentation, proper coding, and understanding the revenue cycle. The presentation concluded with advice on tracking various aspects of one's practice, including finances, cases, clinic metrics, and complications. Dr.Vertrees stressed the importance of adapting to life changes and having contingency plans, including knowing one's contract details and having an exit strategy. She offered strategies for dealing with negative emotions, particularly shame, and emphasized the importance of seeking help when needed. Throughout the presentation, Dr.Vertrees maintained that physicians should give themselves permission to quit if necessary, while also finding purpose in their work. She concluded by emphasizing treatments that address root problems, including therapy, coaching, journaling, community support, and sometimes medications. Chapter Introduction to Launch Week for New Attendings ‎ 00:00:02 Dr. AmyVertrees welcomed participants to the first day of launch week, designed specifically for new attending physicians. She explained that the purpose of these sessions was to share information she wished she had known when starting as a new attending. Dr.Vertrees encouraged interaction through chat or Q&A features and introduced herself as a surgeon, author, podcast host, and certified coach. She outlined the week's topics, including office manager insights, money management, handling complications, legal risks, time management, and efficient note-taking. Mastery and Recognition: The Key to Job Satisfaction ‎ 00:03:20 Dr.Vertrees identified mastery and recognition as the fundamental elements of job satisfaction. She defined mastery as being good at one's job and recognition as being acknowledged for one's skills and contributions. She emphasized that this formula applies to everyone in the workplace and highlighted the importance of recognizing others' contributions. Dr.Vertrees cautioned against the mistake of doing everything oneself, as this robs others of the opportunity to develop mastery and receive recognition. Understanding Organizational Culture ‎ 00:05:28 Dr.Vertrees discussed the importance of understanding the culture of one's organization, including its mission, beliefs, and values. She advised attendees to consider whether their personal values align with their organization's culture, noting that misalignment becomes evident over time. Dr.Vertrees emphasized that new physicians bring valuable perspectives and should feel confident in suggesting changes, though she recommended approaching such suggestions carefully by first asking questions to understand existing practices. Navigating Difficult Colleagues and Communication ‎ 00:07:46 Dr.Vertrees addressed the challenge of difficult colleagues, noting that communication breakdowns can make any colleague difficult. She offered practical advice for improving interactions, including focusing on what people actually say rather than interpretations, examining what meaning one assigns to others' words, and understanding one's own stress responses (fight, flight, freeze, or fawn). She suggested that recognizing these patterns in oneself can help in understanding others' behaviors as well. Handling Reports and Feedback ‎ 00:11:52 Dr.Vertrees discussed how to handle situations where one is reported or receives negative feedback. She advised viewing such situations as opportunities for feedback rather than threats, noting that a report simply generates paperwork that someone needs to address. She emphasized the importance of maintaining a good headspace to respond appropriately, whether the feedback indicates an area for personal improvement or a situation to be cautious about. Participating in Organizational Leadership ‎ 00:13:31 Dr.Vertrees emphasized the importance of participating in leadership positions and committees to have influence in one's organization, stating "you're either at the table or you're on the menu." She encouraged attendees to get involved at hospital, state, or national levels, while being selective about which positions to take on. Dr.Vertrees advised being clear about one's motivations for taking on leadership roles and understanding that such roles are often what one makes of them. Creating Personal Safety and Understanding Values ‎ 00:15:18 Dr.Vertrees discussed the importance of understanding one's personal culture and values, especially when working in a difficult organizational culture. She emphasized that clarity about one's values helps in making decisions and recommended values exercises to gain self-awareness. Dr.Vertrees addressed the concept of scarcity, noting that feelings of not having enough can trigger unhelpful "hustle" behaviors and that new physicians may trigger scarcity feelings in established colleagues. Establishing Boundaries ‎ 00:18:32 Dr.Vertrees outlined five steps for establishing effective boundaries: defining the boundary, communicating it to relevant parties, outlining consequences for boundary violations, enforcing those consequences, and allowing oneself to make exceptions when appropriate. She used the example of after-hours patient calls to illustrate these steps, emphasizing that a boundary isn't truly established unless all five steps are followed. Addressing Imposter Syndrome ‎ 00:21:09 Dr.Vertrees defined imposter syndrome as feeling inadequate despite demonstrated success, a phenomenon first identified in high-achieving women in academia in 1978. She explained that people with imposter syndrome have negative thoughts despite outward success, making it difficult for others to understand or help. Dr.Vertrees suggested turning negative statements into questions to challenge these thoughts, such as changing "I'm not doing this right" to "Am I okay?" Challenging Common Negative Thoughts ‎ 00:24:50 Dr.Vertrees identified common negative thoughts that high-achieving people experience, including fears of being perceived as lazy, doubts about one's abilities, and comparisons to others. She emphasized that these thoughts can be challenged and reframed, noting that the job itself is genuinely difficult and that comparing oneself to others can be useful if done constructively rather than destructively. Understanding Confidence and Self-Confidence ‎ 00:32:18 Dr.Vertrees distinguished between confidence, which comes from repeated experience, and self-confidence, which is the courage to act despite fear. She explained that confidence develops through muscle memory and repetition, while self-confidence involves trusting oneself to handle negative emotions and potential failures. Dr.Vertrees emphasized that these feelings are generated by one's own thoughts and actions. Marketing Yourself Effectively ‎ 00:34:09 Dr.Vertrees discussed the importance of marketing oneself effectively, framing it as shifting from an employee mindset to a CEO mindset. She defined business as an exchange of value for money and emphasized the importance of understanding one's own value. Dr.Vertrees encouraged attendees to be authentic rather than conforming to stereotypical surgeon personas, noting that authenticity often receives positive feedback. She emphasized that marketing happens in every interaction, not just through formal channels. Getting Paid Appropriately ‎ 00:39:16 Dr.Vertrees addressed the topic of getting paid appropriately, emphasizing that it's acceptable to expect payment for providing value. She described notes as invoices for one's work, highlighting their importance for patient care, mental health, pre-authorization, and communication with primary care. Dr. Vertries explained the revenue cycle (work → invoice → coding → billing → collections) and stressed the importance of understanding this process to ensure business sustainability and avoid fraud. Tracking Practice Metrics ‎ 00:44:01 Dr.Vertrees emphasized the importance of tracking various aspects of one's practice, including finances, cases, clinic metrics, and complications. She recommended evaluating each clinic session by identifying three things that worked well, three areas for improvement, and one next step. Dr.Vertrees explained the concept of "clinic math" (the ratio of patients seen to operations booked) and how understanding this ratio can help in planning and potentially modifying one's practice. Adapting to Life Changes ‎ 00:50:17 Dr.Vertrees discussed the importance of adapting to life changes, noting that jobs and personal circumstances evolve over time. She emphasized that tracking helps one see these changes while planning helps one adjust to them. Dr.Vertrees pointed out that people often fail to modify their work approach when major life events occur, such as having children, leading to frustration when previous patterns no longer work. Important Documents and Contingency Planning ‎ 00:51:52 Dr.Vertrees highlighted important documents that physicians should be familiar with, including their contracts, hospital bylaws, and credentialing information. She emphasized the importance of having an exit plan, even when starting a new job, as this provides confidence and prevents feeling trapped. Dr. Vertries also mentioned the importance of tracking deadlines for licenses, DEA credentials, contract renewals, and continuing medical education requirements. Managing Negative Emotions and Shame ‎ 00:54:24 Dr.Vertrees addressed the management of negative emotions, particularly shame, which she defined as the feeling that "there's something wrong with me." She credited Brené Brown for three steps of shame resilience: reaching out to a trusted source, talking kindly to oneself, and owning one's story to control the ending. Dr.Vertrees warned that shame leads to isolation and harmful coping mechanisms, emphasizing the importance of addressing it directly. Permission to Quit and Finding Purpose ‎ 00:55:38 Dr.Vertrees shared her personal strategy of giving herself permission to quit every day, which paradoxically helps her remember why she continues in her profession. She acknowledged that eventually, one might take that permission and actually quit, which is acceptable because "this is your one and only life." Dr.Vertrees emphasized that this approach has allowed her to work harder while maintaining perspective on her purpose. Helpful Approaches and Conclusion ‎ 00:57:17 Dr.Vertrees concluded by discussing approaches that help address the root causes of problems, including therapy, coaching, journaling, community support, and sometimes medications. She emphasized the importance of recognizing one's thought patterns, developing new patterns, and having accountability. Dr.Vertrees reminded attendees about the next session on office manager insights and encouraged questions from participants.

It is quite the wonder that a Holy Savior invites all of us, imperfect and frail as we are, to cooperate with Him in His Holy and good works of salvation on behalf of mankind. But that is just what He does. Today we look at examples of this from the Gospels of St. Luke & St. Mark, which were foretastes of what He desires to do through all who are in Him from Pentecost until He comes again. By Christ's design and in His great wisdom, as we open ourselves to cooperate with Christ in His good works, we are the ones blessed by encountering Him as He ministers to others through us.

We continue our Summer Series titled "HOME".    Thanks for joining the conversation.    Opening Question: What's the best news you heard this week?    Closing Question: What is one way you can participate in a bigger story this week?  Exodus 1:15-19 New Abbey is a Jesus community telling a bigger story of God.

Bickley and Marotta talk ASU, go through Social Studies, and are joined by Torey Lovullo.

Alex (SO/SP 6w7 693) joins us for a deep dive into the often-misunderstood inner terrain of the Social Six — where loyalty is a vigilant scan for danger, and the mind's ceaseless activity is less about worry than about building a livable world. From the outset, Alex speaks to the dissonance of being typed as a Six, resisting the caricatures and one-dimensional projections that cling to the type. We explore the deep patterns of fear and mental over-responsibility that began in childhood: a sense of being a small, visible target in a world ruled by unseen authority. Alex opens up about health anxiety, asexuality, and the complexity of labels — both how they can offer coherence and how they can confine. Alex also brings in the character of Zuko from our shared favorite show Avatar: The Last Airbender as a mirror of his own journey — from rigid loyalty to false authority, through crisis, to a reclamation of inner truth. Together, we explore how Six navigates the labyrinth of mental gates that must be opened before love can be received, and how trust — in the self, in others, in life — is painstakingly built, tested, and sometimes, finally, allowed.LINKSLearn at The Enneagram Schoolhttps://theenneagramschool.com/Intro Coursehttps://www.theenneagramschool.com/intro-enneagram-courseGet Typedhttps://www.enneagrammer.com/Sinsomnia Podcast (Dreams)https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sinsomnia/id1684154994House of Enneagramhttps://www.youtube.com/@houseofenneagram TIMESTAMPS00:00 - Intro02:31 - Participating in Enneagram communities, creating memes while waiting for typing results, reacting to being type 6, unpacking the projections onto 6, "finding a mental home"12:27 - Being a 'cog in the machine', erasing individualization, a "thought-terminating cliche", having mental tweezers 17:10 - Childhood memories, fearing authority larger than parents, fear/anxiety of being a "sitting duck" to external powers23:36 - "Going haywire", the vetting mechanism of 6, fearing and joking about death29:01 - Ketamine treatment, expanding perspectives assisting with anxiety, limited "mental real estate", social narratives and afterthoughts, an unreliable narrator38:09 - 6s not taking responsibility for personal perspectives, pinging off of others, judgment off of 'needing others', self-honoring and life-giving, self-sufficiency narratives46:03 - 6s archetypal connection to labels, being asexual, attention to collective ideals/gaze52:30 - self-deprecation being limiting, therapy, social rejection, deconstructing 'what I deserve to have/want", identifying the super-ego59:11 - not making progress, fear of social vulnerability, 6's inner splitting, exploring the underdog position01:06:59 - Avatar the Last Airbender; relating to the Zuko character arch, shedding the false authorities, enacting personal will, changing inherited reality perspectives01:16:22 - 'vetting' self-love, matrix of mental gates, a core need to have 'right'...

To help promote the Greater Haverhill Chamber of Commerce and Haverhill itself, the organization is making sure business owners and their employees know they may attend functions without being a member.The reminder came from Katie Cook, new Chamber president, during a recent appearance on WHAV's “Win for Breakfast” program. Cook shared some of the initiatives and upcoming events on the Chamber's calendar.“You don't have to be a member to attend any of our events. We are really trying to do the next year with open events to draw attention to the Chamber and have people connecting. We want to help all businesses in the city,” Cook said.Among the more popular events this month is the Chamber's eighth annual Restaurant Week which is moving back to August this year. It runs from Friday, Aug. 15, through Monday, Aug. 25. Participating restaurants will offer specials rather than a fixed priced item, Cook said.“Fortunately for Haverhill, we don't just have dinner-style restaurants. We've got a ton of cafes in the area. We've got ice cream stands and dessert places that want to participate,” Cook said.So far 12 eateries have signed on. They are Aroma Joe's, Barrio, Bosa, Bradford Village Square, Casa Bianca, Dominic's, Drop Café, G's Texas Southern Fare, Joseph's Trattoria. Peddler's Daughter, Roma Ristorante and The Tap Brewing Co. The Chamber is also offering the chance to win prizes for eating at least four establishments. Diners can pick up a passport at their first stop and then get stamps during visits to other restaurants.Another event Cook is excited about is the Harbor Tours Back to Business networking mixer on Wednesday, Aug. 13, at the Haverhill Municipal Dock off Washington Street. Yankee Clipper will offer three 30-minute boat rides on the Merrimack. The event begins at 4:30 p.m. with networking, and open bar and snacks. The boat tours will leave at 5, 5:30 and 6 p.m. Cook highly recommends the river cruise.“It is such a different view of the city. It is gorgeous,” Cook said.There's more at the Chamber's website, HaverhillChamber.com.Support the show

It's been more than three years since Russia invaded Ukraine. In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we're exploring how the conflict has prompted some businesses in Ukraine to lean in to sustainability. We'll also hear about companies' strategies to protect workers and address mental health challenges stemming from the war.  We talk with Tetiana Sakharuk, Executive Director of UN Global Compact Ukraine, about how the sustainability landscape is changing in Ukraine and how the UN Global Compact network is helping companies integrate sustainability into their operations — through training and accelerator programs, by connecting them with international investors and grant opportunities, and by setting up an online platform to support employees needing psychological help amid the war.  UN Global Compact Ukraine is a country-level network of the UN Global Compact (UNGC). The UNGC is a voluntary corporate sustainability initiative involving more than 20,000 companies across 160 countries. Participating companies commit to operate responsibly in line with sustainability principles on human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption, and to support the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals.   In an interview on the sidelines of an event hosted by the UN Global Compact Mexico in June, Tetiana said Ukranian companies see sustainability as a way to attract investors and ensure the long-term viability of their businesses.   She shares how Ukrainian companies are rebuilding critical infrastructure like energy and removing mines from farmland. And she explains how some companies are supporting the health and wellbeing of their employees and communities.   Listen to our episode How companies in Latin America are embedding sustainability amid shifting dynamics here.  Listen to our episode "Energy transition discussions shift to pragmatism amid policy uncertainty" here.   Learn about S&P Global Commodity Insights' Energy Transition services.  This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1 and not by S&P Global Ratings, which is a separately managed division of S&P Global.   Copyright ©2025 by S&P Global    DISCLAIMER    By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

EasyGo, the country's largest private EV charging network, has today announced its selection to help deliver a landmark €15 million government-supported initiative that will install electric vehicle chargers at 229 sports clubs across the island of Ireland. The Scheme is funded through the Government's Shared Island Initiative and ZEVI infrastructure funding. Through it, GAA, rugby, soccer, cricket, golf and other sporting organisations will benefit from fast, reliable 50 kW DC chargers - bringing vital EV infrastructure into the heart of local communities, including many rural areas traditionally underserved. EasyGo is one of just three suppliers selected under the new scheme, and is offering clubs a zero-cost, profit-sharing partnership. Participating clubs will receive an attractive commercial offering helping them reinvest in grassroots sport while EasyGo handles installation, maintenance and insurance. The scheme is expected to significantly expand the EV charging network across both urban and rural areas across the whole island over the coming year. While the clubs eligible for the current scheme have already been selected, EasyGo welcomes expressions of interest from any club. This latest milestone builds on EasyGo's rapid national expansion and growing track record of community-first EV charging innovation. The company recently partnered with the Department of Transport to launch Ireland's first Shared Charging Initiative - a pioneering pilot scheme that allows homeowners to make their private EV chargers available to neighbours and the wider public, boosting access to charging infrastructure in residential areas. EasyGo was established in 2018 in response to the growing need for accessible and reliable EV charging infrastructure across Ireland, extending beyond major urban centres. The company's growth is underpinned by strong financial backing, including a €30 million investment raised in 2023 through Rubicon Capital Advisors from Aviva Investors. EasyGo CEO Ollie Chatten said: "This is a major milestone in our mission to make EV charging available everywhere - not just in cities, but in the rural towns and local clubs that are the backbone of Irish communities. It builds on our shared charging pilot and our international expansion, and shows how Irish innovation can lead the way in sustainable transport. Sports clubs are more than places to practice or watch a match - they're where people gather and connect. By bringing charging infrastructure to these spaces, we're making it easier for families, supporters and volunteers to choose electric, every day" Patrick "Bonner" Maher, Key Account Manager at EasyGo and former Tipperary senior hurler, said: "Growing up with my club, Lorrha-Dorrha, I know how important clubs are to communities, especially in rural areas. This initiative is about more than just EV chargers, it's about supporting clubs like mine and making sustainable transport accessible to everyone who relies on them." See more stories here.

In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we're on the ground in Mexico City, Mexico, to explore how companies in Latin America are embedding sustainability into their business strategies amid shifting market dynamics and new regulations.   We speak with Mauricio Bonilla, Executive Director of UN Global Compact Mexico, on the sidelines of the organization's annual Business Meeting for Sustainability, which took place in June.   The UN Global Compact is a voluntary corporate sustainability initiative involving more than 20,000 companies across 160 countries. Participating companies have committed to operate responsibly in line with sustainability principles on human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption, and to support the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals.   UN Global Compact Mexico is a country-level network of the UN Global Compact, and Mauricio explains how the network is working with companies of all sizes to drive sustainable business practices.   We also sit down with three UN Global Compact Mexico participant companies:  -Alejandro De Keijser, Director of Energy and Sustainability at Mexico-based Grupo DEACERO, a steel manufacturer with global operations.   -Alfonso Martínez, CEO of Industrias Marves, a Mexico-based textile recycling company.  -Tania Rabasa Kovacs, Orbia's Chief Sustainability Officer, Vice President of Corporate Affairs and President of Orbia Mexico. Mexico-based Orbia operates in more than 50 countries and focuses on several business lines.  Tania outlines challenges companies in Latin America face. This includes balancing the need for positive financial returns in the short term with longer term sustainability objectives; navigating regulatory uncertainty; adapting to the physical impacts of climate change; and ensuring local communities and economies benefit from the company's operations.    At the same time, she says: "Nobody is really giving up because the cost of inaction is much higher than that of the transformation."   Read the latest edition of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) adoption tracker from S&P Global Sustainable1 here.    Learn more about S&P Global Sustainable1's Physical Climate Risk data.  This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1 and not by S&P Global Ratings, which is a separately managed division of S&P Global.   Copyright ©2025 by S&P Global    DISCLAIMER    By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

Carmen Bryan, known for her past relationship with Jay-Z during the late 1990s, has publicly criticized the rapper following recent allegations accusing him of raping a 13-year-old girl alongside Sean "Diddy" Combs. In her social media posts, Bryan condemned those who defend celebrities despite serious accusations, emphasizing the importance of standing for what is right over personal biases.She also referenced her own history with Jay-Z, highlighting the affair that occurred while she was engaged to rapper Nas, which contributed to a significant feud between the two artists.Bryan's comments come amid a lawsuit alleging that Jay-Z and Combs sexually assaulted a minor at an afterparty following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. Both artists have denied the allegations, with Jay-Z labeling them as blackmail attempts. Bryan's remarks not only address the current accusations but also revisit past grievances, including her pregnancy during the affair and the subsequent public fallout, which were detailed in her memoir.
