He also explains Roku's partnership with Amazon, the growth of shoppable TV, and why “press OK to text” could redefine viewer engagement.With clarity and insider perspective, Peter outlines what's next for CTV—from AI-driven creative experimentation to real-time data loops that empower advertisers of all sizes. Key Highlights

Bezos' Law - Chai Atreya, Chief Product Officer at ActiveCampaign, once helped build Amazon Alexa under Jeff Bezos.During one internal review, Bezos made a single comment — short, specific, and completely unexpected — that changed everything.He looked at the team and said:“I want Alexa to respond in under five seconds.”That one sentence forced every engineer to rethink what “great” really meant.They reimagined the architecture, redesigned the systems — and eventually, brought response times even lower.That's "Bezos' Law":The tighter the constraint, the bigger the breakthrough.I was honestly in awe hearing how that single challenge reshaped Amazon's design culture — and even more amazed at how Chai is now weaving that same mindset into ActiveCampaign's AI to help small and midsize businesses scale faster, smarter, and simpler.It's inspiring stuff — and it'll change how you think about innovation, leadership, and speed.

John Beaver, CFO of Highland Materials, brings a unique perspective to solar manufacturing after living through two distinct cleantech eras. Following 25 years in the chemical industry, Beaver first entered solar in 2009 as CFO of Silicor Materials, scaling from 40 to 450 employees in 18 months while proving metallurgical-grade silicon could produce high-quality solar cells. "We ended up making 20 million solar cells. Really proved out the concept that we could use a metallurgical grade silicon versus electronic grade silicon to make high-quality solar cells," Beaver explains. After weathering policy headwinds and Chinese oversupply that shuttered their plans, Beaver spent years in dental lasers before returning to solar silicon at Highland Materials. Now he believes the tipping point has arrived. The big question: Can domestic manufacturing finally compete with China's 95% market control?John Beaver serves as Chief Financial Officer of Highland Materials, and has over 40 years of finance expertise across a variety of industries. After starting his career at Fortune 50 company Monsanto, Beaver spent decades in the chemical industry before making his first foray into cleantech as the inaugural CFO of Silicor Materials in 2009. There, he helped scale the company from 40 to 450 employees in 18 months while proving that metallurgical-grade silicon could produce solar cells indistinguishable from traditional electronic-grade silicon. Following a detour as CEO of dental laser company Biolase, Beaver returned to solar silicon manufacturing with Highland Materials, where he's working to establish domestic polysilicon production in Tennessee using zero-waste technology that cuts emissions by 90% while recycling industry waste into valuable raw materials.In This Episode:(00:00) John Beaver's cleantech journey(04:25) Chemical industry background and transition to Silicor Materials(08:04) China tariff wars and Silicor challenges(11:00) Highland Materials return and current market opportunity(17:08) Zero-waste manufacturing and product diversificationShare with someone who would enjoy this topic, like and subscribe to hear all of our future episodes, send us your comments and guest suggestions!About the show: The Age of Adoption podcast explores the monumental transition from a period of social, economic, and environmental research and exploration – an Age of Innovation – to today's world in which companies across the economy are furiously deploying sustainable solutions – the Age of Adoption.

This Farm4Profit episode brings listeners a deep dive into the science and story of Sea Energy Agriculture, tracing how ocean minerals have moved from experimental hydroponic plots in Florida to practical, profitable farm programs across North America.Guests Lynn Hoover, Senior Director of Agronomy and Commercial Sales, and Michael Sileck, Commercial Sales Leader for Sea-90 and Baja Gold Salt Co., join the hosts to share how the 90+ balanced minerals and trace elements found in ocean water can rebuild soil vitality, elevate livestock performance, and close the loop between soil, plant, and human health.Listeners will discover:The Origins – How Dr. Maynard Murray, a medical doctor and physiologist, pioneered ocean-water research, proving that sea solids could rejuvenate mineral-deficient soils and improve the health of animals and humans alike.Modern Application – How Sea-90 brings those findings into modern agriculture with naturally balanced ocean minerals—5x more mineral content than competitors and the lowest sodium levels of any salt available.Real-World Results – Case studies showing improved crop performance in grass, grain, and bean programs, and measurable gains in livestock health and fertility when using Sea-90 as part of feeding and pasture systems.The Big Picture – How the Sea-90 approach supports regenerative agriculture by reconnecting soil health, plant nutrition, animal vitality, and ultimately human well-being.The conversation also explores practical takeaways:What sets ocean minerals apart from conventional fertility inputs.How Sea-90 integrates into current crop and livestock operations.Common misconceptions about mineral programs—and how science and on-farm data dispel them.Why balanced mineralization is foundational for nutrient density, yield stability, and long-term profitability.

The oil and gas industry is clinging to the narrative that we're entering a "Golden Age of Gas" — especially when it comes to LNG. Riding this assumption, companies have been pouring in investments at an aggressive pace, with plans to double LNG export capacity by the end of the decade.US LNG FIDs are breaking all records in 2025, with 55 mtpa of liquefaction capacity sanctioned since the start of the year. This is the second-best year for global LNG FIDs (Final Investment Decision), second only to 2019, when over 70 mtpa of FIDs .The latest example is the 14bnUSD FID for Sempra's Port Arthur 2 in Texas in September 2025, mostly financed by large funds Blackstone, KKR, Apollo, Goldman Sachs.Currently, LNG exports make up about 16% of U.S. gas consumption. Projections suggest that figure could rise to 30% by 2030. But two major uncertainties loom large:Demand: Will international markets absorb this flood of LNG? China's pivot toward Russian and Central Asian pipelines, Qatar's own ramp-up in production, and Europe's push to reduce reliance on expensive imported gas all cast doubt on future demand.Supply: Will the U.S. have enough cheap gas to meet this export surge — especially as the AI boom is expected to drive up domestic gas use, while the federal government places increasing restrictions on renewable energy development?To unpack these critical questions, we've invited Justin Mikulka to explore what he calls the “LNG Mirage.” He'll walk us through hard-hitting facts and trends that investors are currently overlooking. At events like CERAWeek and Gastech, the fossil fuel industry often seems to talk only to itself — echoing reassurances while ignoring warning signs. But winter is coming.About the Speaker:Justin Mikulka has spent the past decade investigating and reporting on the energy sector, with a particular focus on the shifting economics between fossil fuels and emerging clean technologies. He publishes regular insights at Powering the Planet and currently serves as the Communications Director at Oilfield Witness, a U.S.-based nonprofit that uses optical gas imaging to document methane emissions from the oil and gas industry.Reports in reference: Global Gas Flaring Tracker Report from World Bank https://thedocs.worldbank.org/en/doc/bd2432bbb0e514986f382f61b14b2608-0400072025/original/Global-Gas-Flaring-Tracker-Report-July-2025.pdf    We thank Abloco Energy for supporting the show. www.abloco.energy----Epilog post recording:"Venture Global shares plunged more than 20% on Friday following its loss in an arbitration case against BP, which accused the US liquefied natural gas producer of breaching contracts to profit from higher prices at the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.The case was one of several pursued by Venture Global's customers alleging it failed to deliver shipments under long-term supply contracts and instead sold them for higher prices on the spot market when gas prices soared in early 2022.BP's victory is a major blow to one of the largest US LNG exporters, which now faces a separate hearing to determine damages in the case. The UK oil group is seeking damages in excess of $1bn, as well as interest, costs and attorneys' fees."

Maybe you pivoted. Maybe you paused. Maybe you powered through because you didn't know what else to do. If you've been in business for more than a few years, you know exactly what the entrepreneurial rollercoaster feels like. There are highs that feel euphoric and lows that leave you questioning everything. And the last few years — with the COVID boom and bust — amplified that rollercoaster for so many of us. In this episode, I unpack the three paths most entrepreneurs take when things get wobbly: pivoting, pausing, or powering through. I'll share the pros and cons of each, how to know which one might be right for you right now, and why none of them are wrong. Pivoting shows you're flexible. Pausing shows you're wise enough to rest. Powering through shows you're resilient. The key is recognizing that these seasons don't mean you're failing — they mean you're experienced. And once you reframe the rollercoaster years as part of the natural cycle of business, you stop second-guessing yourself and start feeling steadier, no matter what season you're in. If you've been beating yourself up for not “having it all together,” this episode will feel like a deep breath. You'll leave with language for your current season, perspective on why it matters, and clarity on what's next. Tune in to learn how to reframe the rollercoaster years and steady yourself for the long game.

According to the World Bank, more than 80 million people in Nigeria still lack access to electricity, making it the country with the largest energy access deficit in the world. But even among those connected to the grid, many struggle daily to keep the power going. Blackouts are frequent, infrastructure is fragile, and generators have become a lifeline for homes and businesses alike. Journalist and presenter Samuel Okocha hears from Nigerians about how unreliable electricity affects their lives. He speaks to economists, politicians, and renewable energy experts to understand the roots of the crisis, and how decentralisation and power theft are complicating efforts to fix it. In Abuja, Samuel visits his local dry cleaner and barber to see how they are coping with constant outages. Samuel also finds resilience. Across Nigeria, people are turning to solar energy and small-scale solutions, building their own systems to meet their needs.

Why We Keep Showing Up TogetherEvery month, Jen and I hop on a call to trade notes, swap links, and compare what's resonating. It's become a favorite ritual because it lets us zoom out and make sense of a very fast month—what we published, what we learned, and where our communities are headed next. We're aligned on mission and complementary in approach: we both want to help people use money for good—while being as rigorous about real-world impact as we are about financials. That's why we keep encouraging readers to subscribe to both publications; you see more of the picture that way.This month, our conversation kept circling around a handful of pieces that sparked big reactions across our communities:* Superpowers for Good: SuperCrowd25: A Movement on the Rise* Superpowers for Good: Power Up October* Main Street Journal: Scamming Social Change* Main Street Journal: Plant DePIN Stations for Fun and Profit* Main Street Journal: Housing Cooperatives & the Better AbundanceWe also name-checked two thinkers whose work regularly sharpens the discussion: Michael Shuman and Paul Spinrad.Authenticity, Impact, and What Changes When You Meet the FounderA thread we returned to repeatedly is the gap between pitch-deck promises and the reality you can feel when you look a founder in the eye—even if it's through a webcam. Jen pointed to how hearing a human, unscripted explanation can dispel both confusion and “impact-washing” skepticism. I see that dynamic every quarter in our Live Pitch sessions: judges arrive with carefully formed opinions and then, after Q&A with founders, their scores often shift—sometimes dramatically. That post-conversation “re-rating” speaks to the power of authentic engagement for investors and founders alike.Michael Shuman's “Scamming Social Change” gave us a crisp lens for that authenticity test. His basic argument: be wary of grand claims about fixing systemic problems with thin mechanisms. He challenged the marketing logic of some “impact” narratives that simply don't add up when you trace how the benefits would actually reach people. For impact investors, the takeaway is simple: scrutinize the causal chain, not just the press release.Three Housing Ideas Worth Stealing (and Scaling)Housing kept bubbling up as a cross-community priority—because you can't talk about poverty, health, or mobility without talking about where people live.* Small, Local, ManyMichael's “Better Abundance” essay argues that big problems don't always demand singular, big solutions; sometimes “many small things in many places” perform better, especially when they're rooted in community context. Jen loved that framing—and it tracks with what we see across Main Street finance and impact crowdfunding: local teams solving local problems, with models that travel.* Co-ops Change the Market, Not Just the Tenant's RentJen highlighted Burlington's Champlain Housing Trust—managing roughly 3,000 affordable homes—as an example of how cooperative models can reset price expectations across a region by forcing the broader market to compete with a fairer baseline. She also flagged a Swiss city where a notable share of residents lives in nonprofit housing—and pointed to eye-poppingly low homelessness figures. The point isn't that co-ops alone “solve” homelessness; it's that a portfolio of modest, durable interventions can shift the whole system.* ADUs as a Practical On-RampCloser to home, Jen's local planning commission in Keene ran an ADU Challenge: homeowners volunteered real sites and constraints; architects and students designed tailored, buildable options; and a $5,000 prize helped surface practical patterns. Policy may permit ADUs on paper, but many would-be “home creators” still need a nudge through the how-to. That kind of lightweight, civic R&D is a smart way to turn latent permission into actual housing.We also touched on work from SuperCrowd25 showcasing rehab-first approaches and manufactured housing as naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH)—permanent, dignified units that are too often conflated with RVs. In markets where down payments are out of reach, adding safe, lower-cost rentals is an immediate win—and investors can help expand that supply now, not “someday.”A Curious Frontier: Plant DePINOn the more experimental end, Paul Spinrad's “Plant DePIN Stations for Fun and Profit” lit up our curiosity. I'm intrigued by the blend of community incentive design, real-world infrastructure, and open participation. We didn't try to answer every technical or tokenomic question in our chat; we simply acknowledged an emerging space where Main Street builders might find new tools—if (and only if) the impact logic pencils out. As always: first prove the benefit, then scale the mechanism.Movement Notes: SuperCrowd25 & Building the On-RampsIf you missed it, SuperCrowd25 felt like a turning point—less a one-off event and more a widening lane for founders and investors who want returns and results. Our “Movement on the Rise” piece captured why: the people doing the work are getting better at telling the story, and the people funding the work are getting better at asking the right questions. When those two curves meet—clearer storytelling and sharper diligence—capital flows to what actually helps. That's the movement.And because better on-ramps matter, we'll keep making space where founders can show up as themselves and investors can interrogate the “how,” not just the “what.” The more we normalize that practice—the short, human conversation where a founder's logic is audible—the fewer “scamming social change” narratives will slip through undetected.A Candid Ask: Power Up OctoberI also shared something personal with Jen: after 13 years of building this community—rebranding as Superpowers for Good four years ago and launching SuperCrowd two years back—we're close to covering our costs, but not quite there. That's the reason behind our Power Up October campaign. Much of our work remains free by design; paying members make that possible and receive meaningful perks in return (with even more for Max-Impact members). If you've found value in the shows, posts, or pitch sessions, this month is a great time to upgrade or sponsor.Jen shared how the Main Street Journal sustains itself—often through NC3 partnerships and tax-deductible support—and she pledged to help amplify our effort. That kind of mutual aid between aligned media shops is how indie ecosystems survive.Two Subscriptions, One MissionIf you read one of us, you'll get good work. If you read both, you'll get a fuller map—and, frankly, it's still an affordable bundle for a year of actionable ideas. However you support us—subscribe, upgrade, sponsor, or simply share a favorite piece—thank you. We'll keep earning it by elevating founders who solve real problems and by asking the impact questions that make everyone better.—DevinP.S.

In the final episode of Powering Payments Together: How Payroc Helps ISVs Scale Smarter, we turn the spotlight on CenterEdge Software and their journey to building a payments program that drives real business value. Leslie Legel, Director of Payments at CenterEdge, joins the conversation to share how Payroc has become a trusted partner in helping them overcome challenges, strengthen their platform, and deliver a seamless experience for their clients.Leslie explains why payments are mission-critical for family entertainment centers, where more than 90 percent of transactions are digital and downtime isn't an option. From July 4th waterparks to cashless operations, reliability isn't just a nice-to-have—it's the foundation of customer satisfaction. She reflects on a tough lesson learned when a gateway integration didn't meet expectations, and how those setbacks ultimately led CenterEdge to develop a more reliable and scalable payments strategy.The episode also explores how CenterEdge built and branded “CenterEdge Payments,” giving them control over the customer journey and creating a more transparent, feature-rich solution for their clients. Leslie shares how Payroc stood out as a partner, not just for their technology and APIs, but for their willingness to understand CenterEdge's business, answer tough questions, and provide the tools and flexibility needed to scale.Finally, Leslie offers advice to ISVs navigating the high-stakes world of payments: do your homework, know your limitations, and find a partner who is as invested in your success as you are. Looking ahead, she discusses how CenterEdge and Payroc will continue to grow together, exploring new solutions and opportunities to strengthen their offering in the family entertainment space.

This is the progress Powering tomorrow. Allen Hall: Kyle and Rob, welcome to the podcast. Thank you for having us.  Robert Freudenberg: Yeah, thanks. Great to be here.  Allen Hall: Uh, so I was doing a lot of homework online a couple of days ago and looking into, uh, some statements with an administration about the electricity rates in New Jersey, and I thought, well, I need, I need to do my homework because some of this is new to me and throughout all my research and spent several hours on it. Your organization is the only one that had any real data. So I'm glad you're joining us today. So, Kyle, I would like to start with you first, and, and. There's a fundamental challenge that's happening, uh, in New Jersey. Can you just paint a picture of what around New Jersey rate payers are facing with their electricity bills? Kyle Mason: Yeah, absolutely. So starting [00:01:00] June of this year, uh, electricity rates in New Jersey went up between 17 to 20%, depending on your utility company. Uh, that is a cause of a larger problem with the regional grid operator. PJM. Uh, PJM is the grid operator for New Jersey and 12 other states. It covers over 60 million people in a wide geographic area. Uh, they run a annual capacity auction, which secures power for when the grid is at peak load or when most power is being used on the grid. And that capacity market saw record high prices, which trickled down to. Increased electricity rates for New Jersey rate payers.  Allen Hall: Rob, from a policy perspective, how did we get here? Robert Freudenberg: Yeah, I mean, there are, there are so many ways we got here and that's part of the issue. Um, you know, I think what we've seen in, in the aftermath [00:02:00] of these rate hikes is everybody trying to point to one thing. Uh, and there is no one thing here. This is, this is a series of changes over time. Um, you know, we're. We're, we're looking at, um, the way we bring energy onto a system on an old grid. We have a very old grid. And we're trying to update it in real time. And the process to put things on the grid is, uh, taking a lot longer than it used to. And we're putting new and more, uh, various types of, of energy sources onto the grid. So, um, as we're, it's like trying to, to build the plane while you're flying it, and we're trying to update our grid. As we need the energy and as demand is increasing. So, um, you know, as we add these new and various sources, uh, to the grid, they're going through a process that used to take a few years, and now it takes many years. And we're also in a, in a phase where we're adding a lot of renewables, which are, you know, not big behemoth like power plants. Um, you know, they're [00:03:00] smaller, more distributed. So the process that's set up to bring new energy, new infrastructure online is outdated. And, um, you know, I think what we're, what we're finding is as we go and more energy is demanded that the system is not keeping up, uh, with the demand. And so we're falling behind and projects are getting stuck in the queue. And the, the federal government,

It's time to dig into one of my favorite topics: true independence and off-grid living. Curtis Stone is a renowned small-farm educator and author of The Urban Farmer who has built a thriving 40-acre homestead in British Columbia. We trace his journey from punk-rock musician to urban farmer, and how a brutal winter storm in Montreal sparked the realization of just how fragile our modern systems are.Curtis also gets into the realities of homesteading: what it takes to live seasonally on the land, why fencing and livestock dogs are non-negotiable, how to protect against fire, and the importance of building community with your neighbors.
