DCF Trends Summit 2025 Session Recap As the data center industry accelerates into an AI-driven expansion cycle, the fundamentals of site selection and investment are being rewritten. In this session from the Data Center Frontier Trends Summit 2025, Ed Socia of datacenterHawk moderated a discussion with Denitza Arguirova of Provident Data Centers, Karen Petersburg of PowerHouse Data Centers, Brian Winterhalter of DLA Piper, Phill Lawson-Shanks of Aligned Data Centers, and Fred Bayles of Cologix on how power scarcity, entitlement complexity, and community scrutiny are reshaping where—and how—data centers get built. A central theme of the conversation was that power, not land, now drives site selection. Panelists described how traditional assumptions around transmission timelines and flat electricity pricing no longer apply, pushing developers toward Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets, power-first strategies, and closer partnerships with utilities. On-site generation, particularly natural gas, was discussed as a short-term bridge rather than a permanent substitute for grid interconnection. The group also explored how entitlement processes in mature markets have become more demanding. Economic development benefits alone are no longer sufficient; jurisdictions increasingly expect higher-quality design, sensitivity to surrounding communities, and tangible off-site investments. Panelists emphasized that credibility—earned through experience, transparency, and demonstrated follow-through—has become essential to securing approvals. Sustainability and ESG considerations remain critical, but the discussion took a pragmatic view of scale. Meeting projected data center demand will require a mix of energy sources, with renewables complemented by transitional solutions and evolving PPA structures. Community engagement was highlighted as equally important, extending beyond environmental metrics to include workforce development, education, and long-term social investment. Artificial intelligence added another layer of complexity. While large AI training workloads can operate in remote locations, monetized AI applications increasingly demand proximity to users. Rapid hardware cycles, megawatt-scale racks, and liquid-cooling requirements are driving more modular, adaptable designs—often within existing data center portfolios. The session closed with a look at regional opportunity and investor expectations, with markets such as Pennsylvania, Alabama, Ohio, and Oklahoma cited for their utility relationships and development readiness. The overarching conclusion was clear: the traditional data center blueprint still matters—but power strategy, flexibility, and authentic community integration now define success.

Today's episode finishes the four-part series on perinatal mental health during the holidays. It is also the final Behind the Sessions episode because life's circumstances are requiring me to shift, change, and prioritize other things as 2025 comes to a close. I will periodically add a solo episode in the future when I want to dive deeper into a relevant subject. There could even be a reduction in the frequency of episodes in 2026, as I see how my focus is needed in other areas. This shift is an example of my need to “practice what I preach” by protecting my time, space, and mental health as life changes. There is an extensive archive of episodes (almost 500 of them!) on my website from which you can search topics of interest to you. Please take advantage of the amazing resources available there! Today's episode focuses on facing the challenges of the postpartum period during the holidays. Join me! Show Highlights: Hey, Mama: You ARE doing enough! When you throw PPA or PPD into the mix, the holidays can be overwhelming. Doing ALL the things will add more stress and cause burnout. Truths about postpartum life: It's a BIG change! Worrying about social gatherings and the risk of sickness for your baby is completely normal. You may feel a greater sense of disconnect and loneliness. Watch out for the “comparison trap” that social media can cause. The potential for overstimulation is great. The underlying differences between expectations and reality Make it through the holidays in whatever ways you can—and that's okay. Holiday problems for people-pleasers An increase in pressure and a decrease in emotional bandwidth can create the perfect storm of stress. Red flags that signal a perinatal mental health condition Steps to better self-care: Manage your self-talk–your inner voice. Pause, sit, and breathe to settle your body and mind. Realize that you don't have to do everything you've always done. Add self-compassion to your life. Protect your energy by resting, limiting social engagements, and setting boundaries. Ask for help—and accept it when it's offered. The importance of reframing what the holidays mean to you You and your family deserve peace–not perfection. Prioritizing your healing over traditions, expectations, and plans is okay—and encouraged. Resources: Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visitcdph.ca.gov.

Vestea că instituția care supraveghează regulile de respectare a concurenței în România va face un studiu despre piața cărnii de porc a atras atenția. Consiliul Concurenței și-a consolidat imaginea unei instituții în care există expertiză și de multe ori reprezentanții unor companii, antreprenori sau experți au făcut apel la intervenția Consiliului pentru a regla unele distorsiuni dintr-un sector economic. Desigur, un studiu realizat pe filiera de produs a cărnii de porc nu are ce să strice, mai ales că instituția a anunțat că vrea să analizeze întregul lanț, de la fermă, la abator, la procesatori și până la retail. Sunt foarte curios, însă, dacă analiza Consiliului Concurenței va aduce mai mult decât știm în acest moment. Vom vedea. Deocamdată, câteva lucruri sunt clare. Prima constatare este că, dintre produsele alimentare, carnea de porc contribuie cel mai mult la deficitul balanței comerciale, respectiv cu aproape un miliard de euro. Sunt estimări care arată că din totalul consumului de carne de porc doar o treime mai provine din România. Recent, unul dintre acționarii unui mare procesator român, Cris Tim, declara că importă carne de porc în valoare de 100 milioane de euro anual, pentru că din țară nu poate cumpăra. Situația este logică dacă ne gândim că de la identificarea primului focar de pestă porcină africană (PPA) în România, în anul 2017, și până anul acesta, estimările arată că au fost sacrificați aproximativ 1,8 milioane de porci. Practic, cifrele ne spun că România nu a putut opri niciodată în ultimii opt ani răspândirea pestei porcine africane. Nu s-a putut reduce sau eradica acest virus din două motive: situația atipică față de alte state europene a creșterii porcinelor în România și populismul politicienilor. În România, se cresc mai mulți porci în gospodăriile individuale decât în exploatațiile industriale. Ceea ce este o tradiție și un motiv de mândrie pentru unii români, duce, în condițiile existenței pestei porcine africane, la mari riscuri de răspândire. Mai mult, sunt situații în care gospodăriile populației se transformă în adevărate mini-ferme în care sunt crescuți zeci de porci. Nerespectarea normelor de biosecuritate și sanitare, foarte sensibile în cazul pestei porcine africane, și transportul animalelor pentru vânzarea lor au fost principalele cauze pentru care virusul nu a putut fi stopat, ba, dimpotrivă, chiar s-a răspândit. În același timp, decidenții politici nu au avut curajul să ia măsuri care să împiedice extinderea focarelor de pestă porcină africană. Motivul este simplu: ar fi trebuit să le impună fie respectarea unor reguli de biosecuritate stricte, fie chiar în anumite zone să interzică creșterea porcilor. Au fost câteva încercări legislative care ar fi trebuit să reglementeze situația gospodăriilor individuale, dar niciun politician și niciun partid nu le-a dus până la capăt și astfel regulile stricte nu s-au aplicat. În aceste condiții, cu 1,8 milioane de porci sacrificați în opt ani, nu este de mirare că România importă multă carne de porc. Creșterea porcilor în gospodăriile populației este un subiect atât de sensibil electoral încât niciun ministru al agriculturii și niciun șef al ANSVSA nu au îndrăznit să ia măsuri eficiente. Este adevărat că s-au derulat mai multe programe de reproducție în sectorul suin, dar rezultatele sunt încă eclipsate de prezența virusului PPA. Spre deosebire de România, Spania, cel mai mare producător de carne de porc din Uniunea Europeană, a luat măsuri rapide și hotărâte atunci când în Catalonia a apărut virusul PPA la câțiva porci mistreți. Au fost mobilizați oameni pentru a vâna mistreții, iar efectivul acestora se va reduce la jumătate, au fost închise unele drumuri critice și instituțiile sau companiile au trecut la repararea împrejmuirilor care au rolul de a bloca apropierea porcilor mistreți de zonele locuite. Este o mobilizare pe care în România nu am văzut-o niciodată. De aceea, studiul Consiliului Concurenței nu strică, dar analizele industriei cărnii de porc ar trebui făcute de alte instituții, care apoi să ia și decizii.

Send us a textWhen your clients say they're "drowning" or they "can't trust themselves," we can't just chalk it up to a simple chemical imbalance. We have to get real about postpartum anxiety (PPA). The clinical model, with its standard screening tools like the Edinburgh scale, is missing the deeper, unrecognized crisis of identity and boundaries that fuels so much of the mental load and perinatal mental health struggle.Carley Schweet joins Maranda us today to share her own journey through undiagnosed PPA and the profound psychological and neurological rewiring that happens in the mother's brain. They talk about radical self-care, the power of reconnecting with maternal intuition, and how setting and honoring boundaries is the key to moving from feeling "not enough" to thriving in motherhood. This conversation is your key to recognizing the subtle, yet debilitating, non-clinical signs of PPA and giving your clients permission to choose differently so they can heal at the root.Check out this episode on the blog HERE: Key time stamps: 01:47 Carley's personal struggle with undiagnosed postpartum anxiety 02:56 The fear of losing a child that silences mothers & mental health. 03:40 The creation of Hello Postpartum gift boxes to honor the mother07:12 Standard clinical scales miss the identity shift and deeper trauma. 08:25 Postpartum anxiety can start 3+ years after birth. 09:48 Carley's coaching background + boundaries and people-pleasing. 11:13 Motherhood as a mirror for untrue narratives and lack of self-care. 13:53 The challenge of boundary setting is a consistent theme16:14 Psychological and neurological rewiring in the mother's brain 17:21 The biggest hormonal drop occurs after the placenta detaches. 17:40 The power of giving yourself permission to choose differently 19:36 How Chat GPT and AI contribute to intuitive disconnection 21:52 The daily practice of disconnection Connect with Carley: In 2020, Carley founded Hello Postpartum, a platform dedicated to curating thoughtful gift boxes for new moms while uplifting other women-owned businesses.

In this special Christmas episode, Ronan, Janine, and Steve slow things down and talk about what this season really means—not just for their families, but for photographers everywhere. From Christmas Eve feasts and quirky traditions to childhood memories and the joy (and chaos) of shutting the studio doors for a few precious days, this episode is all about connection, nostalgia, and being present—everything photographers ask their clients to embrace, yet so often forget to give themselves.It's a cosy, funny, real conversation about recharging, making memories, being human in your business, and leaning into the magic your clients feel this time of year. If you need permission to switch off, breathe, and enjoy the people who matter most, this is the episode to curl up with.Key HighlightsThe one time of year the entire photography world finally slows down—and why it matters for your creativity and mental health.How Janine shifted from “militant Christmas Eve commander” to intentional, slow, meaningful traditions… and why your clients crave the same energy.Why the small rituals—hot cocoa bars, new ornaments, matching PJs—are the things your children remember for life.Christmas around the world: Irish potatoes, Italian lasagna, Australian barbies, and flaming whiskey-soaked pudding.Why showing the human behind the business in your content is more important than ever (especially during the holidays).The honest truth: photographers give so much all year… but struggle to give themselves permission to rest.A reminder every photographer needs to hear: “The hardest person to celebrate is yourself.”Ronan, Steve, and Janine's Christmas wish for every Difference Maker photographer—and a seasonal invitation to join the community.Join the Difference Maker Revolution!Take the first step toward creating a photography business that makes a difference.

Esta semana cerramos el año con una fotografía muy clara del momento que vive el mercado porcino global. No es una semana más: es una semana de síntesis, de balance, y sobre todo de lectura estratégica para entender hacia dónde se está moviendo la industria.Mientras algunos mercados históricos pierden tracción, otros —especialmente en Latinoamérica— muestran señales de crecimiento estructural, consumo interno dinámico y una industria que, con todos sus desafíos, sigue avanzando en eficiencia, productividad y sofisticación.Quiero comenzar este comentario recorriendo Perú, luego Colombia, Brasil, y finalmente detenerme en China y Rusia, dos países que hoy influyen más por lo que están dejando de ser que por lo que fueron durante la última década.Perú es un caso que vale la pena observar con atención. Sin grandes titulares internacionales y con más de 33 millones de habitantes, esta gran nación está consolidando una base de consumo porcino cada vez más sólida. El Ministerio de Desarrollo Agrario y Riego (Midagri) proyecta que el consumo nacional de carne de cerdo alcanzará las 220.000 toneladas en 2025, confirmando que el cerdo ya es la segunda proteína más consumida del país. No es un dato menor: habla de un cambio cultural y gastronómico profundo.El consumo per cápita se ubica en torno a 11 kg por habitante, con una meta del sector de duplicar esa cifra hacia 2030. Este crecimiento no se explica solo por precio, sino por:Mayor valorización gastronómica del cerdo. Peru brilla en el mundo por sus platos. ¡Quien no ha comido un Chicharrón no ha vivido esta vida!Modernización de la cadena productivaMejoras en calidad e inocuidad.Perú muestra algo que muchas veces olvidamos en el análisis del cerdo: el crecimiento del sector no siempre viene de la exportación. En muchos países, el verdadero motor está siendo el mercado interno, cuando se trabaja bien la narrativa, la calidad y la confianza del consumidor.Colombia vive un momento interesante y complejo a la vez.A septiembre de 2025, las importaciones porcinas acumuladas crecieron más de 16%, superando las 134.000 toneladas, lo que explica buena parte de la presión que hemos visto sobre el precio interno.Sin embargo, septiembre marcó un quiebre relevante: las importaciones cayeron 9,2% interanual, una señal de que el mercado comienza a ajustarse, aunque con volatilidad mensual.En paralelo, los precios al consumidor siguen contenidos:IPC anual del cerdo: +0,41%Muy por debajo del pollo y la carne de resEn lo corrido del año, el precio al consumidor del cerdo cae –2,57%Este escenario ha beneficiado al consumidor, pero ha puesto presión sobre el productor. A esto se suma la suspensión temporal de importaciones desde España, como medida preventiva tras la detección de PPA en jabalíes en Cataluña.Colombia refleja muy bien uno de los grandes dilemas del sector porcino latinoamericano:¿Cómo equilibrar apertura comercial, protección sanitaria y sostenibilidad económica del productor?No es una pregunta sencilla, pero es una conversación que la región deberá profundizar en los próximos años.Brasil cierra 2025 consolidándose como uno de los grandes ganadores del tablero global. Las proyecciones de la Asociación Brasileña de Proteína Animal (ABPA) son contundentes.1,55 millones de toneladas. “60.000 toneladas más” El cerdo seguirá siendo una proteína clave en el mundo.La pregunta no es si habrá mercado, sino quién estará preparado para capturar valor en este nuevo ciclo.Antes. de terminar, quisiera agracerte por llegar hasta acá. Sólo te deseo un final de año rodeado de tus seres queridos y feliz con los resultados obtenidos este año. Como siempre, seguimos leyendo el mercado juntos,con una mirada estratégica y sin fronteras en el 2026!A tu lado en el mercado porcino,Reinaldo Cubillos
María Santos repasa todas las noticias del sector. 1.- El Comité de Gestión de Cítricos (CGC) ha denunciado que los fondos anuales europeos destinados a cofinanciar actuaciones de control y detección de plagas con el estatus de prioritarias en 2023 y 2024 apenas superó los 8 millones de euros para los 27 estados miembro. Una cifra que el sector tilda de "burla, más aún considerando que sólo las pérdidas calculadas por la CE para toda la UE y todos los cultivos afectados, en el caso de las cuatro principales plagas que también atacan a los cítricos --X. fastidiosa, HLB (Candidatus liberibacter), 'Falsa polilla' (T. leucotreta) y 'Mancha negra' (P.citricarpa)-- suman daños por 7.057, 3.400, 2.717 y 2.490 millones de euros, respectivamente". Insisten en que, de las ocho plagas ya contempladas en el vigente 'top 20' que pueden provocar daños a los cítricos, ya se han identificado y están presentes en territorio UE o en países ribereños del Mediterráneo seis. 2.- El pleno del Parlamento Europeo ha dado luz verde este martes a una reforma de simplificación de la Política Agrícola Común (PAC) destinada a reducir la carga burocrática para los agricultores y a reforzar el apoyo a las pequeñas explotaciones, mediante menos controles, mayor flexibilidad en los requisitos medioambientales y un aumento de las ayudas directas. Entre las principales novedades, las pequeñas explotaciones podrán recibir hasta 3.000 euros anuales en ayudas directas, por encima de lo inicialmente planteado, y acceder a un nuevo pago único de hasta 75.000 euros destinado a impulsar el desarrollo de sus explotaciones. La reforma también introduce mayor flexibilidad en el cumplimiento de las normas medioambientales. A partir de 2026, las tierras agrícolas conservarán su condición de tierras de cultivo aunque no hayan sido aradas o resembradas, una medida pensada para preservar la biodiversidad y evitar costes innecesarios para los agricultores. 3.- La Asociación de Productores y Exportadores de la Fresa de Huelva, Freshuelva, ha participado en un nuevo proceso de selección de personal en origen en Guatemala con vistas a la campaña de frutos rojos 2026 en la provincia de Huelva. En el marco de esta misión, desarrollada en coordinación con el resto de organizaciones agrarias participantes en el sistema Gecco, se han entrevistado a un total de 600 personas candidatas, de las que finalmente han sido seleccionadas 200 entre todas las organizaciones, correspondiendo 76 de ellas a Freshuelva. Según ha indicado la organización, este nuevo contingente se sumará a las personas trabajadoras guatemaltecas repetidoras de la anterior campaña, consolidándose como un colectivo "estable, formado y con experiencia contrastada en labores agrícolas". 4.- a renta agraria se situó en 41.262 millones de euros en 2025, lo que supone un incremento del 12,9% con respecto al año anterior, según la primera estimación de las principales cifras económicas del sector agrario publicada este martes por el Ministerio de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación. La producción de la rama agraria alcanzó su máximo histórico, 75.676 millones de euros, un 10,1% más que en 2024, con un incremento tanto de las cantidades producidas (7,3%) como de los precios percibidos (2,6%). Por la fecha en la que se realiza, esta estimación no ha tenido en cuenta los posibles efectos por la aparición de un foco de peste porcina africana (PPA) en Barcelona que, si bien de momento solo afecta a jabalíes silvestres y no a granjas de producción, si puede tener incidencia en los mercados. 5.- El pleno del Parlamento Europeo ha dado este miércoles su visto bueno al acuerdo político alcanzado entre instituciones que modifica la legislación comunitaria contra la deforestación retrasando un año su aplicación y reduciendo la carga administrativa para las empresas, especialmente para las más pequeñas. Con las modificaciones aprobadas, las grandes empresas deberán cumplir el reglamento a partir del 30 de diciembre de 2026, mientras que las pequeñas y medianas empresas dispondrán de más margen y tendrán que adaptarse desde el 30 de junio de 2027, un año más tarde de cuando debían hacerlo antes de la reforma. Desde la Cámara explican que este aplazamiento busca garantizar una transición "más ordenada y realista", así como dar tiempo a mejorar los sistemas informáticos necesarios para aplicar la ley y gestionar las declaraciones electrónicas exigidas a los operadores.
La peste porcina africana (PPA) reaparece en España después de 30 años, detectada en jabalíes silvestres fallecidos en Colcerola, Barcelona. Este virus es exclusivo de cerdos y jabalíes, sin riesgo alguno de contagio o afectación para los seres humanos, incluso al consumir carne infectada. España, principal productor y exportador de porcino de la Unión Europea, afronta importantes implicaciones económicas; países como Japón o Filipinas restringen ya las importaciones, mientras China solo afecta a la provincia de Barcelona. Se considera la PPA una de las peores pandemias animales por su impacto económico. Se investiga un posible origen en laboratorio (poco probable, pero posible) o a través de productos contaminados. El virus, originario de África, llegó a Europa por Georgia. La movilidad de los jabalíes supone un riesgo de propagación a regiones vecinas con alta producción porcina extensiva, como Aragón y Valencia.

The world of photography marketing is shifting—fast. In this episode, Steve, Janine, and Ronan break down what may be the biggest change since Google itself arrived: the rise of AI recommendation marketing. As more people start asking ChatGPT for help—not Google—photographers who want to stay visible must adapt now.You'll hear how AI is replacing traditional searches with smart, conversational recommendations that match people based on values, purpose, and emotional alignment—not style, props, or keywords. And you'll discover why Difference Maker photographers are uniquely positioned to thrive in this new era, where authentic purpose and transformational experiences matter more than ever.If you're a photographer who wants AI to recommend you first—to clients actively searching and to those who don't even realize photography is the solution they need—this episode is your roadmap.Key HighlightsGoogle is declining. AI search is skyrocketing. And the way clients find photographers will never be the same.Why people trust AI recommendations more than Google—and sometimes more than themselves.The new reality: AI won't match clients by “style”… it matches them by values, purpose, and transformation.How conversational websites and content can turn AI into your best referral source.The return of “referral marketing”—but now the referrer is AI.Why describing your purpose, your why, and your client's transformation clearly is now more important than SEO.A live example: how Janine planned an entire New York trip using AI—without touching Google once.The painful truth: “photographer's photographers” (focused on style, awards, and artistic ego) are the ones AI will leave behind.The A.I.D.O. framework for preparing your business for AI recommendations:A — Accuracy: perfect consistency across your digital footprintI — Intent: clarity of purpose and transformationD — Discoverability: emotional, conversational content AI can understandO — Optimisation: aligning everything across your brandHow AI will soon recommend photographers to people who aren't even looking for photography—just solutions like confidence, connection, celebration, healing, or belonging.Why Difference Maker photographers, already trained in emotional storytelling and purpose-led marketing, are decades ahead of everyone else entering the AI era.Join the Difference Maker Revolution!Take the first step toward creating a photography business that makes a difference.

El Laboratorio Central de Veterinaria de Algete (Madrid) confirmó ayer el positivo al virus de la peste porcina africana en otros tres jabalíes, que se han localizado en las inmediaciones de los casos notificados con anterioridad, en el municipio de Cerdanyola del Vallés (Barcelona). Con estos nuevos positivos, se confirma la presencia de la enfermedad en un total de 16 animales silvestres.Además, se han analizado otros 115 cadáveres de animales encontrados muertos en el medio natural o en carreteras y vías ferroviarias en la zona infectada y sus alrededores, que han resultados negativos.Ayer se celebraba la primera reunión del Comité de Expertos en Peste Porcina Africana de Aragón. Mientras, la carne de porcino se abarató en noviembre respecto al mes anterior un 0,1%, el primer descenso intermensual desde el 0,2% de enero, según los datos definitivos del último Índice de Precios de Consumo (IPC). Mercolleida moderaba este jueves el descenso del precio de la carne de cerdo y la cotización del cerdo de engorde ha retrocedido 6 céntimos, la del cochinillo 2 euros y la de cerda 2 céntimos.En el caso del cerdo de engorde, el descenso vuelve a situarse dentro del límite habitual de variación máxima después de dos bajadas consecutivas de 10 céntimos por el foco de peste porcina africana (PPA). Y, también, nuevas bajadas en el cereal influido por la incertidumbre que la peste porcina africana ha provocado en el campo.La organización agraria COAG reclama al Gobierno y CC.AA. medidas urgentes tras tres años de inacción frente a la Vespa orientalis, catalogada como especie invasora en mayo de 2025.La campaña del aceite de oliva se ha ralentizado en noviembre, con menos producción que hace un año y un ritmo más alto de ventas, según los datos difundidos este jueves por el Ministerio de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación.AgroMind, un proyecto de innovación tecnológica rural que combina sensores IoT (Internet de las Cosas), inteligencia artificial (IA) y agricultura regenerativa para optimizar el riego, la fertilización y la salud del suelo, se ha alzado este jueves con el Premio Generando Futuro de apoyo al emprendimiento.Las V Jornadas de la Trufa Negra de la Provincia de Zaragoza llegan este fin de semana a Belchite --sábado 13-- y Zuera --domingo 14-- con mercados de trufa fresca y charlas qrue se repetirán los días 20 y 21 de diciembre en la capital aragonesa.
Travis reconnects with long‑time friend and solar sales leader Steven Cohen to break down how door‑to‑door solar has created life‑changing income for thousands of reps—and why the recent merger of Sunder Energy with publicly traded SunPower has only strengthened that opportunity. From early days earning a few hundred dollars per kilowatt to today's multi‑thousand‑dollar commissions, Steven explains how the industry has evolved, what the new legislation means, and why performance‑based sales is still one of the fastest paths out of a capped paycheck. On this episode we talk about: How Sunder Energy grew into one of the largest solar sales dealerships in the U.S. and why SunPower acquired it to power their third‑party ownership (TPO/lease/PPA) strategy going into 2026 What the recent “big, beautiful bill” did to tax credits, why homeowners will lose the 30% credit on ownership, and how finance companies now use that credit on TPO to lower customer costs Current solar commissions (often $700–$800+ per kW and even higher in some markets), realistic income potential for committed reps, and why many people are now earning the same money on less volume The realities of 100% commission work—no base, no benefits, but unlimited upside—and why solar, pest control, alarms, and similar models are better viewed as businesses than jobs How industry corrections, higher interest rates, and weak operators have shaken out tourists from solar—and why those who stay, build teams, and play the long game are best positioned for the next upswing Top 3 Takeaways Performance‑based sales can compress your earning timeline dramatically, but only if you treat it like a business, manage volatility, and stay in the game when conditions get hard instead of chasing the next “easy” industry. Door‑to‑door isn't just about commission checks; it forges rare skills in communication, resilience, team building, and leadership that transfer to any future venture or career. Solar is still a long‑term growth industry despite short‑term corrections; as energy demand soars with AI, data centers, and crypto, those who remain and level up through this cycle are likely to benefit most from the next boom. Notable Quotes “Profits are better than wages—any time you can be paid on the value you create instead of the hours you clock, you give yourself a real shot at financial freedom.” “It's never just about your comp plan; it's about what you believe you're worth and whether you're willing to bet on your performance instead of your time.” “Most people play the finite game and quit when a cycle turns; if you can stay planted for a decade in the right vehicle, you usually win by simply outlasting everyone else.” Connect with Steven Cohen: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stevencohen/?hl=en ✖️✖️✖️✖️

This episode pulls back the curtain on the most powerful breakthroughs from our recent Effortless Sales workshop in Glasgow—and trust us, photographers walked out seeing their work (and their clients) in a completely new way.Steve, Ronan, and Jonathan break down the jaw-dropping moments that helped photographers realize why clients aren't buying the photos they think matter…and what actually makes clients fall deeply in love with their images. From the emotional “why” behind every purchase to the overlooked details that turn a simple photo into a must-have piece of art, this conversation reveals the shifts that lead to consistent high-value sales without ever pushing or persuading.If you've ever wondered why some images resonate instantly—and others fall flat—this episode is your roadmap to photographing for clients, not for judges, peers, or your own artistic ego. And it might just be the mindset reset your business has been missing.Key HighlightsThe #1 workshop moment that blew everyone's mind: why clients don't fall in love with photos… they fall in love with what those photos mean.The “describe the photo” exercise that revealed why most photographers unknowingly present images clients can't emotionally connect with.Why clients reject a photo at first glance—but then choose it as their favorite once it's emotionally interpreted.The shocking truth about variety: photographers think it's outfit and backdrop changes… clients think it's emotional storytelling and meaning.How photographing for clients (not awards, judges, or the industry) unlocks effortless, pressure-free sales.Real examples from the workshop showing how most photographers accidentally create shoots with only 2–3 sellable images—without realizing it.The difference between a “photographer's photographer” and a Difference Maker—and why one of them will be wiped out by AI.Why understanding a client's deeper “why” and their unspoken emotional desires leads to consistent 4- and 5-figure orders.The moment attendees realized how much they needed to unlearn—and how quickly their sales potential expanded once they did.How photographing the subtle, meaningful elements (a squeeze, a glance, a gesture) can turn a simple portrait into a priceless memory worth thousands.Join the Difference Maker Revolution!Take the first step toward creating a photography business that makes a difference.

We confront the collision between AI's soaring compute needs and a grid unready for 50% peak expansions, then map a practical path to build clean, firm power fast without losing sight of affordability. Dan shares candid insights on markets, permitting, contracts, and how 3Degrees tackles Scope 3 at scale.• AI demand growth outpacing efficiency gains• Wartime mobilization mindset for energy buildout• All-the-above strategy across renewables, storage, and firm power• Price pressures from supply constraints and who pays• Additionality and siting clean power abroad• Permitting and transmission reform progress and limits• Financial governance: minimum revenue commitments and PPA design• Demand response and 24/7 carbon matching incentives• Scope 3 decarbonisation and supplier aggregations• Virtual power plants and flexible load orchestration• Leadership, governance, and resilience in volatile marketsPower isn't a footnote to the AI boom—it's the bottleneck. We sit down with 3Degrees co-founder and chairman Dan Kalafatas to untangle the thorniest question in tech and climate: how do we deliver massive new capacity, keep prices in check, and still cut emissions on an hourly, 24/7 basis? Dan makes the case for a wartime mobilization mindset and an all-of-the-above strategy, pairing solar and wind with storage and firm clean power like recommissioned nuclear and geothermal, while acknowledging the near-term role of natural gas. He explains why utilities are demanding minimum revenue commitments from hyperscalers, how demand response can unlock tens of gigawatts in the hours that matter most, and why temporal matching in carbon accounting will push buyers toward real around-the-clock decarbonization.We dig into additionality as Big Tech sites data centers in places with hydro and other low-carbon resources. What actually drives new clean energy build instead of reshuffling existing electrons? Dan shares pragmatic contract levers—from accelerated repayment clauses to renewable-only PPAs—that reduce stranded-asset risk and steer capital toward projects that cut emissions when the grid is dirtiest. He also unpacks the friction slowing progress: interconnection queues, permitting delays, water constraints, and a public already feeling price pressure before the big build even begins.On the enterprise side, we explore how 3Degrees approaches Scope 3 decarbonization and the rise of virtual power plants, where orchestration beats brute force. Thousands of suppliers, different load shapes, and new 24/7 reporting expectations create a data problem tailor-made for AI—if governance and audit trails come first. Expect candid takes on “green hushing,” the role of states when federal leadership zigzags, and why empathetic leadership belongs at the center of market design and execution.Dan Kalafatas: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dankalafatas/Dan Kalafatas is the Chairman and Co-Founder of 3Degrees, a leading global decarbonization solutions provider that has spent nearly two decades building the scalable systems necessary for businesses to tackle the existential threat of climate change.

Setting up Linux Mint with Custom LVM and Luks Linux Mint with Custom LVM on LUKS Overview The current Linux Mint installer doesn't support custom partitions when setting up a new machine with LUKS encryption using LVM. I prefer having a separate partition for my home directory and a backup partition for Timeshift, so that reinstalling or fixing issues won't overwrite my home directory. I found several approaches to achieve this. One method involves setting up partitions first and then using the installer to select them, but this requires extensive post-installation configuration to get boot working with the encrypted drive. I discovered this blog which explains how to repartition your drive after installation. Combined with my guide on setting up hibernation, I created this documentation to help remember how to install a fresh copy of Linux Mint with LVM and LUKS. Tested on: Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon Partition Layout For this guide, I'm working with a 1TB drive that will be split into the following logical volumes: Root - 100GB (system files and applications) Swap - 32GB (for hibernation support) Home - 700GB (user files and documents) Backup - 100GB (Timeshift snapshots) Unallocated - ~68GB (reserved for future expansion) This setup ensures that system snapshots and user data remain separate, making system recovery much easier. Installation Guide Step 1: Initial Linux Mint Installation Start the Linux Mint installation process as normal: Boot from your Linux Mint installation media Follow the installation wizard (language, keyboard layout, etc.) When you reach the Installation type screen: Select "Erase disk and install Linux Mint" Click "Advanced features" Enable both options: ✓ Use LVM with the new Linux Mint installation ✓ Encrypt the new Linux Mint installation for security Click Continue Enter a strong encryption password when prompted Complete the rest of the installation (timezone, user account, etc.) When installation finishes, do NOT click "Restart Now" - we'll repartition first Important: Do NOT reboot after installation completes. We need to repartition before the first boot. Step 2: Access Root Terminal After installation finishes, open a terminal and switch to root: sudo -i This gives you administrative privileges needed for disk operations. Step 3: Check Current Disk Layout View your current partition structure: lsblk -f This displays your filesystem layout. You should see your encrypted volume group (typically vgmint) with a large root partition consuming most of the space. Step 4: Resize Root Partition Shrink the root partition from its default size (nearly full disk) to 100GB: lvresize -L 100G --resizefs vgmint/root What this does: -L 100G sets the logical volume size to exactly 100GB --resizefs automatically resizes the filesystem to match This frees up ~900GB for our other partitions Step 5: Resize Swap Partition The default swap is usually small (a few GB). We need to increase it to 32GB for hibernation: lvresize --verbose -L +32G /dev/mapper/vgmint-swap_1 What this does: -L +32G adds 32GB to the current swap size --verbose shows detailed progress information This ensures enough swap space for RAM contents during hibernation Note: For hibernation to work, swap should be at least equal to your RAM size. Adjust accordingly. Step 6: Create Home Partition Create a new logical volume for your home directory: lvcreate -L 700G vgmint -n home What this does: -L 700G creates a 700GB logical volume vgmint is the volume group name -n home names the new volume "home" Step 7: Create Backup Partition Create a logical volume for Timeshift backups: lvcreate -L 100G vgmint -n backup What this does: Creates a dedicated 100GB space for system snapshots Keeps backups separate from user data Prevents backups from filling up your home partition Step 8: Format New Partitions Format both new partitions with the ext4 filesystem: mkfs.ext4 /dev/vgmint/backup mkfs.ext4 /dev/vgmint/home What this does: Creates ext4 filesystems on both logical volumes ext4 is the standard Linux filesystem with good performance and reliability Step 9: Mount Partitions Create mount points and mount your partitions: mkdir /mnt/{root,home} mount /dev/vgmint/root /mnt/root/ mount /dev/vgmint/home /mnt/home/ What this does: Creates temporary directories to access the filesystems Mounts root and home so we can configure them Step 10: Move Home Directory Contents Move the existing home directory contents from the root partition to the new home partition: mv /mnt/root/home/* /mnt/home/ What this does: Transfers all user files and directories from the old location to the new home partition Preserves your user account settings and any files created during installation Without this step, your home directory would be empty on first boot Step 11: Update fstab Add the home partition to the system's fstab file so it mounts automatically at boot: echo "/dev/mapper/vgmint-home /home ext4 defaults 0 2" >> /mnt/root/etc/fstab What this does: Appends a mount entry to /etc/fstab Ensures /home partition mounts automatically at startup The 0 2 values enable filesystem checks during boot Step 12: Clean Up and Prepare for Reboot Unmount the partitions and deactivate the volume group: umount /mnt/root umount /mnt/home swapoff -a lvchange -an vgmint What this does: Safely unmounts all mounted filesystems Turns off swap Deactivates the volume group to prevent conflicts Ensures everything is properly closed before reboot Step 13: Reboot Now you can safely reboot into your new system: reboot Enter your LUKS encryption password at boot, then log in normally. Verification After rebooting, verify your partition setup: lsblk -f df -h You should see: Root (/) mounted with ~100GB Home (/home) mounted with ~700GB Swap available with 32GB Backup partition ready for Timeshift configuration Setting Up Timeshift To complete your backup solution: Install Timeshift (if not already installed): sudo apt install timeshift Launch Timeshift and select RSYNC mode Choose the backup partition as your snapshot location Configure your backup schedule (daily, weekly, monthly) Create your first snapshot Additional Resources Original blog post on LVM rearrangement Setting up hibernation on Linux Mint Conclusion This setup gives you the best of both worlds: the security of full-disk encryption with LUKS, and the flexibility of custom LVM partitions. Your home directory and system backups are now isolated, making system recovery and upgrades much safer and more manageable. Automating Your Linux Mint Setup After a Fresh Install Automating Your Linux Mint Setup After a Fresh Install Setting up a fresh Linux Mint installation can be time-consuming, especially when you want to replicate your perfect development environment. This guide will show you how to automate the entire process using Ansible and configuration backups, so you can go from a fresh install to a fully configured system in minutes. Why Automate Your Setup? Whether you're setting up a new machine, recovering from a system failure, or just want to maintain consistency across multiple computers, automation offers several key benefits: Time Savings: What normally takes hours can be done in minutes Consistency: Identical setup across all your machines Documentation: Your setup becomes self-documenting Recovery: Quick recovery from system failures Reproducibility: Never forget to install that one crucial tool again Discovering Your Installed Applications Before creating your automation setup, you need to identify which applications you've manually installed since the initial OS installation. This helps you build a complete picture of your custom environment. Finding APT and .deb Packages To see all manually installed packages (excluding those that came with the OS): comm -23

Thanks for having me, guys. Well, we’ve been looking forward to this for several weeks now because. We’re trying to learn some of the ins and outs of turbine supply agreements, FSAs, because everybody’s talking about them now. Uh, and there’s a lot of assets being exchanged. A lot of turbine farms up for sale. A lot of acquisitions on the other side, on the investment side coming in and. As engineers, we don’t deal a lot with TSAs. It’s just not something that we typically see until, unless there’s a huge problem and then we sort of get involved a little bit. I wanna understand, first off, and you have a a ton of experience doing this, that’s why we [00:01:00] love having you. What are some of the fundamentals of turbine supply agreements? Like what? What is their function? How do they operate? Because I think a lot of engineers and technicians don’t understand the basic fundamentals of these TSAs. Dan Fesenmeyer: The TSA is a turbine supply agreement and it’s for the purchase and delivery of the wind turbines for your wind farm. Um, typically they are negotiated maybe over a 12 ish month period and typically they’re signed at least 12 months before you need, or you want your deliveries for the wind turbines. Joel Saxum: We talk with people all over the world. Um, you know, GE Americas is different than GE in Spain and GE in Australia and Nordics here, and everybody’s a little bit different. Um, but what we, we regularly see, and this is always an odd thing to me, is you talked about like negotiating. It starts 12 months ahead of time stuff, but we see that [00:02:00] the agreements a lot of times are very boilerplate. They’re very much like we’re trying to structure this in a certain way, and at the end of the day, well, as from an operator standpoint, from the the person buying them, we would like this and we would like this and we would like this, but at the end of the day, they don’t really seem to get that much negotiation in ’em. It’s kind of like, this is what the agreement you’re gonna take and this is how we sell them. That’s it. Is, is that your experience? I mean, you’re at GE for a long time, one of the leading OEMs, but is that what you’re seeing now or is there a little bit more flexibility or kind of what’s your take on that? Dan Fesenmeyer: I think generally it depends, and of course the, the OEMs in the, and I’ll focus more on the us, they’ll start with their standard template and it’s up to the purchaser, uh, to develop what they want as their wishlist and start negotiations and do their, let’s say, markup. So, uh, and then there’s a bit of leverage involved. If you’re buying two units, it’s hard to get a lot of interest. [00:03:00] If you’re buying 200 units, then you have a lot more leverage, uh, to negotiate terms and conditions in those agreements. I was with GE for 12 years on the sales and commercial side and now doing advisory services for four years. Uh, some of these negotiations can go for a long time and can get very, very red. Others can go pretty quick. It really depends on what your priorities are. How hard you want to push for what you need. Allen Hall: So how much detail goes into a TSA then are, are they getting very prescriptive, the operators coming with a, a list of things they would like to see? Or is it more negotiating on the price side and the delivery time and the specifics of the turbine? Dan Fesenmeyer: Generally speaking, you start kind of with the proposal stage and. First thing I always tell people is, let’s understand what you have in your proposal. Let’s understand, you know, what are the delivery [00:04:00] rates and times and does that fit with your project? Does the price work with respect to your PPA, what does it say about tariffs? That’s a huge one right now. Where is the risk going to land? What’s in, what’s out? Um. Is the price firm or is there indexation, whether it’s tied to commodities or different currencies. So in my view, there’s some pre-negotiations or at least really understanding what the offer is before you start getting into red lines and, and generally it’s good to sit down with the purchasing team and then ultimately with the OEM and walk through that proposal. Make sure you have everything you need. Make sure you understand what’s included, what’s not. Scope of supply is also a big one. Um, less in less in terms of the turbine itself, but more about the options, like does it have the control features you need for Ercot, for example. Uh, does it have leading [00:05:00]edge protection on your blades? Does it have low noise trailing edge? Do we even need lo low noise trailing edges? Uh, you know, those Joel Saxum: sorts Dan Fesenmeyer: of things. Joel Saxum: Do you see the more of the red lining in the commercial phase or like the technical phase? Because, and why I ask this question is when we talk, ’cause we’re regularly in the o and m world, right? Talking with engineers and asset managers, how do you manage your assets? And they really complain a lot that a lot of their input in that, that feedback loop from operations doesn’t make it to the developers when they’re signing TSAs. Um, so that’s a big complaint of theirs. And so my question is like, kind of like. All right. Are there wishes being heard or is it more general on the technical side and more focused on the commercial Dan Fesenmeyer: side? Where do you see that it comes down to making sure that your negotiation team has all the different voices and constituents at the table? Uh, my approach and our, our team’s approach is you have the legal piece, a technical piece, and we’re in between. We’re [00:06:00] the commercial piece. So when you’re talking TSAs, we’re talking price delivery terms. Determination, warranty, you know, kind of the, the big ticket items, liquidated damages, contract caps, all those big ticket commercial items. When you move over to the operations agreement, which generally gets negotiated at the same time or immediately after, I recommend doing them at the same time because you have more leverage and you wanna make sure terms go from TSA. They look the same in the. Services agreement. And that’s where it’s really important to have your operations people involved. Right? And, and we all learn by mistakes. So people that have operated assets for a long time, they always have their list of five or 10 things that they want in their o and m agreement. And, um, from a process standpoint, before we get into red lines, we usually do kind of a high [00:07:00] level walkthrough of here’s what we think is important. Um. For the TSA and for the SMA or the operations and maintenance agreement, let’s get on the same page as a team on what’s important, what’s our priority, and what do we want to see as the outcome. Allen Hall: And the weird thing right now is the tariffs in the United States that they are a hundred percent, 200%, then they’re 10%. They are bouncing. Like a pinball or a pong ping pong ball at the moment. How are you writing in adjustments for tariffs right now? Because some of the components may enter the country when there’s a tariff or the park the same park enter a week later and not be under that tariff. How does that even get written into a contract right now? Dan Fesenmeyer: Well, that’s a fluid, it’s a fluid environment with terrorists obviously, and. It seems, and I’ll speak mostly from the two large OEMs in the US market. Um, [00:08:00] basically what you’re seeing is you have a proposal and tariffs, it includes a tariff adder based on tariffs as in as they were in effect in August. And each one may have a different date. And this is fairly recent, right? So as of August, here’s what the dates, you know, here’s a tariff table with the different countries and the amounts. Here’s what it translates into a dollar amount. And it’ll also say, well, what we’re going to do is when, uh, these units ship, or they’re delivered X works, that’s when we come back and say, here’s what the tariffs are now. And that difference is on the developer or the purchaser typically. Allen Hall: So at the end of the day. The OEM is not going to eat all the tariffs. They’re gonna pass that on. It’s just basically a price increase at the end. So the, are the, are the buyers of turbines then [00:09:00] really conscious of where components are coming from to try to minimize those tariffs? Dan Fesenmeyer: That’s Allen Hall: difficult. Dan Fesenmeyer: I mean, I would say that’s the starting point of the negotiation. Um, I’ve seen things go different ways depending on, you know, if an off, if a developer can pass through their tariffs to the, on their PPA. They can handle more. If they can’t, then they may come back and say, you know what, we can only handle this much tariff risk or amount in our, in our PPA. The rest we need to figure out a way to share between the OEM or maybe and the developer. Uh, so let’s not assume, you know, not one, one size doesn’t fit all. Joel Saxum: The scary thing there is it sound, it sounds like you’re, like, as a developer when you’re signing a TSA, you’re almost signing a pro forma invoice. Right. That that could, that could go up 25% depending on the, the mood on, in Capitol Hill that day, which is, it’s a scary thought and I, I would think in my mind, hard to really get to [00:10:00] FID with that hanging over your head. Dan Fesenmeyer: Yeah. It it’s a tough situation right now for sure. Yeah. And, and we haven’t really seen what section 2 32, which is another round of potential tariffs out there, and I think that’s what. At least in the last month or two. People are comfortable with what tariffs are currently, but there’s this risk of section 2 32, uh, and who’s going to take that risk Allen Hall: moving forward? Because the 2 32 risk is, is not set in stone as when it will apply yet or if it even Dan Fesenmeyer: will happen and the amount, right. So three ifs, three big ifs there, Alan. Allen Hall: Yeah. And I, maybe that’s designed on purpose to be that way because it does seem. A little bit of chaos in the system will slow down wind and solar development. That’s one way you do. We just have a, a tariff. It’s sort of a tariff that just hangs out there forever. And you, are there ways to avoid that? Is it just getting the contract in [00:11:00] place ahead of time that you can avoid like the 2 32 thing or is it just luck of the draw right now? It’s always Dan Fesenmeyer: up to the situation and what your project delivery. Is looking at what your PPA, what can go in, what can go out. Um, it’s tough to avoid because the OEMs certainly don’t want to take that risk. And, uh, and I don’t blame them. Uh, and separately you were asking about, well, gee, do you start worrying about where your components are sourced from? Of course you are. However, you’re going to see that in the price and in the tariff table. Uh, typically. I would say from that may impact your, your, uh, sort of which, which OEM or which manufacturer you go with, depending on where their supply chain is. Although frankly, a lot of components come from China. Plain and simple, Allen Hall: right? Dan Fesenmeyer: Same place. If you are [00:12:00] subject to these tariffs, then you want to be more on a, you know, what I would say a fleet wide basis. So, uh, meaning. Blades can come from two places. We don’t want to have, you know, an OEM select place number one because it’s subject to tariff and we have to pay for it. You want it more on a fleet basis, so you’re not, so the OEM’s not necessarily picking and choosing who gets covered or who has to pay for a tariff or not. Joel Saxum: And I wonder that, going back to your first statement there, like if you have the power, the leverage, if you can influence that, right? Like. Immediately. My mind goes to, of course, like one of the big operators that has like 10, 12, 15,000 turbines and deals exclusively with ge. They probably have a lot of, they might have the, the stroke to be able to say, no, we want our components to come from here. We want our blades to come from TPI Mexico, or whatever it may be, because we don’t want to make sure they’re coming from overseas. And, and, and if that happens in, in [00:13:00] the, let’s take like the market as a whole, the macro environment. If you’re not that big player. You kind of get the shaft, like you, you would get the leftovers basically. Dan Fesenmeyer: You could, and that makes for a very interesting discussion when you’re negotiating the contract and, and figuring out something that could work for both. It also gets tricky with, you know, there could be maybe three different gearbox suppliers, right? And some of those. So this is when things really get, you know, peeling back an onion level. It’s difficult and I’ll be nice to the OEMs. It’s very tough for them to say, oh, we’re only a source these gearbox, because they avoid the tariffs. Right? That’s why I get more to this fleet cost basis, which I think is a fair way for both sides to, to handle the the issue. Allen Hall: What’s a turbine backlog right now? If I sign a TSA today, what’s the earliest I would see a turbine? Delivered. Dan Fesenmeyer: You know, I, I really don’t know the answer to that. I would say [00:14:00] generally speaking, it would be 12 months is generally the response you would get. Uh, in terms of if I sign today, we get delivery in 12 months, Allen Hall: anywhere less than two years, I think is a really short turnaround period. Because if you’re going for a, uh, gas turbine, you know, something that GE or Siemens would provide, Mitsubishi would provide. You’re talking about. Five or six years out before we ever see that turbine on site. But wind turbines are a year, maybe two years out. That seems like a no brainer for a lot of operators. Dan Fesenmeyer: I would say a year to two is safe. Um, my experience has been things, things really get serious 12 months out. It’s hard to get something quicker. Um, that suppliers would like to sign something two years in advance, but somewhere in between the 12 months and 24 months is generally what you can expect. Now, I haven’t seen and been close to a lot of recent turbine supply [00:15:00]deals and, and with delivery, so I, I, I can’t quote me on any of this. And obviously different safe harbor, PTC, windows are going to be more and more important. 20 eights preferred over 29. 29 will be preferred over 30. Um, and how quick can you act and how quick can you get in line? Allen Hall: Yeah, it’s gonna make a big difference. There’s gonna be a rush to the end. Wouldn’t you think? There’s must be operators putting in orders just because of the end of the IRA bill to try to get some production tax credits or any tax credits out of it. Dan Fesenmeyer: Absolutely. And you know. June of 2028 is a hell of a lot better than fall of 2028 if you want a COD in 2 28. Right. And then you just work backwards from there. Yeah. And that’s, that’s, we’ve seen that in the past as well, uh, with, with the different PTC cliffs that we’ve [00:16:00] seen. Allen Hall: Let’s talk service agreements for a moment when after you have a TSA signed and. The next thing on the list usually is a service agreement, and there are some OEMs that are really hard pushing their service agreements. 25, 30, 35 years. Joel, I think 35 is the longest one I have seen. That’s a long time. Joel Saxum: Mostly in the Nordics though. We’ve seen like see like, uh, there are Vestas in the Nordic countries. We’ve seen some 35 year ones, but that’s, to me, that’s. That’s crazy. That’s, that’s a marriage. 35 years. The crazy thing is, is some of them are with mo models that we know have issues. Right? That’s the one that’s always crazy to me when I watch and, and so then maybe this is a service, maybe this is a com a question is in a service level agreement, like I, I, I know people that are installing specific turbines that we’ve been staring at for five, six years that we know have problems now. They’ve addressed a lot of the problems and different components, bearings and drive, train and [00:17:00] blades and all these different things. Um, but as an, as an operator, you’d think that you have, okay, I have my turbine supply agreement, so there’s some warranty stuff in there that’s protecting me. There is definitely some serial defect clauses that are protecting me. Now I have a service level agreement or a service agreement that we’re signing that should protect me for from some more things. So I’m reducing my risk a little more. I also have insurance and stuff in built into this whole thing. But when, when you start crossing that gap between. These three, four different types of contracts, how do people ensure that when they get to that service level contract, that’s kind of in my mind, the last level of protection from the OEM. How do they make sure they don’t end up in a, uh, a really weird Swiss cheese moment where something fell through the cracks, serial defects, or something like that? You know? Dan Fesenmeyer: Yeah. It, it comes down to, I, I think it’s good to negotiate both at the same time. Um, it sometimes that’s not practical. It’s good. And [00:18:00] part of it is the, the simple, once your TSA is signed, you, you don’t have that leverage over that seller to negotiate terms in the services agreement, right? Because you’ve already signed a t to supply agreement. Uh, the other piece I think is really important is making sure the defect language, for example, and the warranty language in the TSA. Pretty much gets pulled over into the service agreement, so we don’t have different definitions of what a defect is or a failed part, uh, that’s important from an execution standpoint. My view has always been in the TSA, do as much on a warranty claim as you possibly can at that end of the warranty term. The caps and the coverages. And the warranty is much higher than under the services agreement. Services agreement [00:19:00] will end up, you know, warranty or extended warranty brackets, right? ’cause that’s not what it is. It becomes unscheduled maintenance or unplanned maintenance. So you do have that coverage, but then you’re subject to, potentially subject to CAPS or mews, annual or per event. Um. Maybe the standard of a defect is different. Again, that’s why it’s important to keep defect in the TSAs the same as an SMA, and do your warranty claim first. Get as much fixed under the warranty before you get into that service contract. Joel Saxum: So with Windquest, do you go, do you regularly engage at that as farms are coming up to that warranty period? Do you help people with that process as well? As far as end of warranty claims? Contract review and those things before they get into that next phase, you know, at the end of that two year or three years. Dan Fesenmeyer: Yeah. We try to be soup to nuts, meaning we’re there from the proposal to helping [00:20:00] negotiate and close the supply agreement and the services agreement. Then once you move into the services agreement or into the operation period, we can help out with, uh, filing warranty claims. Right. Do we, do you have a serial defect, for example, or. That, that’s usually a big one. Do you have something that gets to that level to at least start that process with an root cause analysis? Um, that’s, that’s obviously big ones, so we help with warranty claims and then if things aren’t getting fixed on time or if you’re in a service agreement and you’re unhappy, we try to step in and help out with, uh, that process as well. Joel Saxum: In taking on those projects, what is your most common component that you deal with for seald? Defects, Dan Fesenmeyer: gearboxes seem to always be a problem. Um, more recently, blade issues, um, main bearing issues. Uh, those are [00:21:00] some of the bigger ones. And then, yeah, and we can be main bearings. Also. Pitch bearings often an issue as well. Joel Saxum: Yeah, no, nothing surprising there. I think if you, if you listen to the podcast at all, you’ve heard us talk about all of those components. Fairly regularly. We’re not, we’re not to lightening the world on firing new information on that one. Allen Hall: Do a lot of operators and developers miss out on that end of warranty period? It does sound like when we talk to them like they know it’s coming, but they haven’t necessarily prepared to have the data and the information ready to go till they can file anything with the OEM it. It’s like they haven’t, they know it’s approaching, right? It’s just, it’s just like, um, you know, tax day is coming, you know, April 15th, you’re gonna write a check for to somebody, but you’re not gonna start thinking about it until April 14th. And that’s the wrong approach. And are you getting more because things are getting tighter? Are you getting more requests to look at that and to help? Operators and developers engage that part of their agreements. I think it’s an Dan Fesenmeyer: [00:22:00] oppor opportunity area for owner operators. I think in the past, a lot of folks have just thought, oh, well, you know, the, the, the service agreement kicks in and it’ll be covered under unscheduled or unplanned maintenance, which is true. But, uh, again, response time might be slower. You might be subject to caps, or in the very least, an overall contract level. Cap or limitation, let’s say. Uh, so I, I do think it’s an opportunity area. And then similarly, when you’re negotiating these upfront to put in language that, well, I don’t wanna say too much, but you wanna make sure, Hey, if I, if I file a claim during warranty and you don’t fix it, that doesn’t count against, let’s say your unplanned cap or unplanned maintenance. Joel Saxum: That’s a good point. I was actually, Alan, this is, I was surprised the other day. You and I were on a call with someone and they had mentioned that they were coming up on end of warranty and they were just kinda like, eh, [00:23:00] we’ve got a service agreement, so like we’re not gonna do anything about it. And I was like, really? Like that day? Like, yeah, that deadline’s passed, or it’s like too close. It wasn’t even passed. It was like, it’s coming up and a month or two. And they’re like, yeah, it’s too close. We’re not gonna do anything about it. We’ll just kind of deal with it as it comes. And I was thinking, man, that’s a weird way to. To manage a, you know, a wind farm that’s worth 300 million bucks. Dan Fesenmeyer: And then the other thing is sometimes, uh, the dates are based on individual turbine CDs. So your farm may have a December 31 COD, but some of the units may have an October, uh, date. Yeah, we heard a weird one the other day that was Joel Saxum: like the entire wind farm warranty period started when the first turbine in the wind farm was COD. And so there was some turbines that had only been running for a year and a half and they were at the end of warranty already. Someone didn’t do their due diligence on that contract. They should have called Dan Meyer. Dan Fesenmeyer: And thing is, I come back is when you know red lines are full of things that people learned [00:24:00] by something going wrong or by something they missed. And that’s a great example of, oh yeah, we missed that when we signed this contract. Joel Saxum: That’s one of the reasons why Alan and I, a lot, a lot of people we talk to, it’s like consult the SMEs in the space, right? You’re, you may be at tasked with being a do it all person and you may be really good at that, but someone that deals in these contracts every day and has 20 years of experience in it, that’s the person you talk to. Just like you may be able to figure out some things, enlight. Call Allen. The guy’s been doing lightning his whole career as a subject matter expert, or call a, you know, a on our team and the podcast team is the blade expert or like some of the people we have on our network. Like if you’re going to dive into this thing, like just consult, even if it’s a, a small part of a contract, give someone a day to look through your contract real quick just to make sure that you’re not missing anything. ’cause the insights from SMEs are. Priceless. Really. Dan Fesenmeyer: I couldn’t agree more. And that’s kind of how I got the idea of starting Windquest advisors to begin with. [00:25:00] Um, I used to sit across the table with very smart people, but GE would con, you know, we would negotiate a hundred contracts a year. The purchaser made one or two. And again, this isn’t, you know, to beat up the manufacturers, right? They do a good job. They, they really work with their, their customers to. Find solutions that work for both. So this is not a beat up the OEM, uh, from my perspective, but having another set of eyes and experience can help a lot. Allen Hall: I think it’s really important that anybody listening to this podcast understand how much risk they’re taking on and that they do need help, and that’s what Windquest Advisors is all about. And getting ahold of Dan. Dan, how do people get ahold of you? www.win advisors.com. If you need to get it to Dan or reach out to win advisors, check out LinkedIn, go to the website, learn more about it. Give Dan a phone call because I think [00:26:00] you’re missing out probably on millions of dollars of opportunity that probably didn’t even know existed. Uh, so it’s, it’s a good contact and a good resource. And Dan, thank you so much for being on the podcast. We appreciate having you and. We’d like to have you back again. Dan Fesenmeyer: Well, I’d love to come back and talk about, maybe we can talk more about Lightning. That’s a Joel Saxum: couple of episodes. Dan Fesenmeyer: I like watching your podcast. I always find them. Informative and also casual. It’s like you can sit and listen to a discussion and, and pick up a few things, so please continue doing what you’re doing well, thanks Dan. Allen Hall: Thanks Dan.
Alejandro Bonitch y Félix Plasencia, socios de Derecho Público de Cuatrecasas expertos en energía, conversan con Idoya Fernández, socia y directora del área de Conocimiento e Innovación de la Firma, sobre el sector de la energía, sus retos, oportunidades y principales cambios regulatorios. Los expertos coinciden en la complejidad del sector de la energía que abarca realidades muy diferentes, como la electricidad o el gas, cada una con actividades reguladas y no reguladas. En el sector eléctrico destacan determinados retos en generación (precios negativos, regulación del mercado de capacidad o del almacenamiento), distribución (aprobación del régimen retributivo) y comercialización; y, en el del gas, la propuesta de retribución regulada para el periodo 2027-2032 y el desarrollo de nuevas redes. En este contexto, analizan el funcionamiento del mercado mayorista eléctrico y las acciones planteadas para estabilizar los precios. Asimismo, exponen las tendencias en la negociación de contratos de compraventa de energía a largo plazo o contratos PPA y los principales obstáculos en el acceso o conexión a la red eléctrica. Por otro lado, analizan el estado de desarrollo del hidrógeno verde y de la energía eólica marina, la importancia del almacenamiento y sus retos regulatorios, y las reformas necesarias en materia de autoconsumo. Tras detallar las principales tendencias en operaciones corporativas y de financiación en el sector de la energía, nuestros expertos también apuntan como tendencias más relevantes en los próximos meses: el almacenamiento de la energía en sentido amplio, la protección o cobertura frente a potenciales precios bajos del pool eléctrico, y la regulación sobre los criterios técnicos para acceso a la red de transporte y el mercado de capacidad. ‘Novedades del sector energético: hablan los expertos' es el trigésimo cuarto episodio de ‘Tendencias Legales', la serie de podcasts de la Firma con la que Cuatrecasas busca, de forma diferente e innovadora, aportar su visión y experiencia al debate jurídico en España; una invitación a reflexionar sobre las tendencias y novedades jurídicas de mayor actualidad y repercusión económica a través de un diálogo abierto entre nuestros expertos.Hosted on Ausha.

In this lively, Guinness-fuelled conversation, the team dives into the biggest marketing shift photographers will face in the next 12–18 months: the death of Google search marketing—and the birth of AI recommendation marketing.If you're still optimizing for SEO, you're already behind. In this episode, Jonathan, Ronan, and Steve break down how tools like ChatGPT and the new Atlas browser are about to reshape how clients discover photographers… and why the photographers who adapt now will dominate their markets.You'll hear why your purpose, your “why,” and your client's emotional motivations matter more than awards, gear, or artistic ego—and how AI will reward photographers who are clear, human, and compelling in ways Google never could.This is an early look at the future of photography marketing—and the strategic edge only early adopters will have.Key Highlights“SEO is dying. AI recommendation marketing is here—and it changes everything.”Why clients will soon stop Googling photographers and instead rely on conversational AI to make curated recommendations.Real examples of how ChatGPT's new Atlas browser can shortlist photographers—with portfolios, pros/cons, contact details, and tailored questions—in seconds.The chicken or the egg dilemma of AI marketing: should photographers master the tools first, or clarify their purpose and client transformation first? (Hint: there's only one right answer.)Why awards, artistic ego, and “photographer-first” branding won't help you in an AI-driven recommendation world.The one thing AI needs to recommend your studio—and why most photographers haven't prepared for it.How early adopters are already using AI to purchase more confidently, refine decisions, and shortcut research… and why your clients will do exactly the same.Why understanding your client's secret desires and emotional drivers matters more now than at any time in photography marketing history.The coming marketing divide: photographers who adapt to AI—and photographers who disappear.Join the Difference Maker Revolution!Take the first step toward creating a photography business that makes a difference.

Treinta y un años después de su erradicación, la peste porcina africana (PPA) ha regresado a España. Un brote detectado en jabalíes en la sierra de Barcelona ha puesto en máxima alerta a uno de los sectores ganaderos más potentes de Europa, el porcino español, que es el primer productor de la UE y el tercero del mundo. Con unas exportaciones que rozan los 9.000 millones de euros anuales, la reaparición de este virus ha suscitado una enorme preocupación económica y sanitaria.El virus de la PPA, que no afecta a los seres humanos, presenta una letalidad de casi el 100% en los cerdos, que mueren en una o dos semanas tras la infección. Así lo ha explicado el doctor en Veterinaria e investigador Nacho de Blas, en el programa 'Herrera en COPE', donde destacó su enorme resistencia: “es un virus que aguanta muy bien, puede aguantar años en carne congelada, meses en refrigerada, y en curados y embutidos puede durar incluso varios meses”.La principal hipótesis sobre la llegada ...

Slovensko nie je len v hlbokom úpadku, my dnes padáme strmhlav do priepasti. Hovorí v Ráno Nahlas šéf NKÚ Ľubomír Andrassy. Tento pád nás bude veľmi bolieť. Nebude však bolieť tých, ktorí tu dlho parazitovali na verejných i EÚ zdrojoch, ale bude to bolieť nás - teda tých, ktorí odtiaľto nemajú kde a ani začo odísť, dodáva predseda Najvyššieho kontrolného úradu. A prečo nám zdravotníctvo ukradli lobisti?Úrad na ochranu oznamovateľov končí, po zániku verejnoprávnej RTVS je scenár už evidentne úplne jasný. Priveľa nezávislosti v tomto štáte môže mať fatálne následky. Môžete byť síce nezávislou inštitúciou v zmysle zákona, no ak sa tejto vládnej moci znepáčite, proste vás vygumujú. Bude ďalším na rade i samotné NKÚ?Najvyšší kontrolný úrad totiž už pol roka nepokryte a veľmi hlasno hovorí, že naše verejné zdravotníctvo ovládli záujmy súkromných lobistických skupín. To zdravotníctvo, do ktorého síce smeruje 10 miliárd ročne, no napriek tomu sa v ňom na drahé lieky pre našich blížnych zbierame po rôznych internetových charitách. Na miliónové zisky majiteľov Zdravotných poisťovní však akosi peniaze vždy sú. A premiér? Ten mlčí, k zisteniam NKÚ sa nevyjadruje a naše zdravie i životy - ako premiérsku tému, verejne uchopiť nechce. Miliardy z eurofondov pritom dokáže Slovensko čerpať iba v žalostnej desatine toho, čo sa nám ponúka. Ako to čerpanie vyzerá v praxi, nám priam demonštratívne predviedla takzvaná penziónová výzva. Penzióny, ktoré penziónmi nikdy neboli a v ktorej sa z vyše 50. skontrolovaných penziónov našli pochybenia v deviatich z nich, pričom šesť už vyšetrujú aj OČTK. Minister pôdohospodárstva problém nevidí no a PPAčka - známa aj z kauzy Dobytkár, stále nedisponuje pečiatkou dôveryhodnej inštitúcie. K tomu môžeme pripočítať aj kauzy ministra Migaľa či dnes už bývalého vicepremiéra Kmeca, ktorý po odvolaní z vlády mieri do čela parlamentného výboru. Natíska sa preto zásadná otázka. Naozaj vieme, kam všetky tie zvyšujúce sa dane či odvody, ktoré od nás táto vláda žmýka už v treťom konsolidačnom kole, smerujú, čo s nimi vláda robí a ako to, že ich nevidieť v zlepšujúcich sa službách tohto čoraz viac kolabujúceho a rozpadajúceho sa štátu? A ak to nevidieť a ani necítiť, prečo máme tento "Potemkin" - oficiálne zvaný aj ako Slovensko, vlastne financovať? A prečo nevyvodzujeme zodpovednosť za chyby či hriechy politikov a štátnych manažérov? Témy a otázky pre šéfa Najvyššieho kontrolného úradu. Ráno Nahlas, tentoraz opäť pravidelný rozhovor so šéfom NKÚ Ľubomírom Andrassym. Pekný deň a pokoj v duši praje Braňo Dobšinský.

This week on the PicklePod, Zane and Tice break down one of the wildest weekends of pickleball we've seen all year. The Lakeland Open delivered everything—controversial calls, insane comebacks, breakout stars, near meltdowns, and another dominant run from the tour's heavy hitters. We kick things off with Part 2 of last week's viral Create-a-Player Draft, where Zane and Tice build the ultimate women's pickleball player. 11 categories. No duplicate picks. Maximum trash talk. The community demanded a rematch…and Tice wants revenge. From there, the guys get into all the biggest stories: Lakeland Open Chaos – The now-infamous Roscoe/Hunter match point controversy – Luca Mack's eye-opening semifinal run – Noe's first PPA medal – The 17-point swing that shocked the men's doubles bracket Nationals Recap – Jill Braverman's viral line call – Why a $225K event ran with no replays – PK's first singles title • Global Pickleball Politics – The WPF, GPF, UWPF alphabet soup explained – What a potential merger means for the Olympics – Why governing bodies matter more than people realize Lakers Pickleball Tournament – Yes… the Lakers ran their own pickleball event – Luka Dončić credits pickleball for slimming down – Why NBA players might be the worst body type for dinking • Debate of the Week: If Ben and Anna Leigh were forced to split up in 2026… who wins more mixed titles? Zane and Tice go deep on the chessboard of future partnerships.

This week on the PicklePod, we switch things up — no PPA or MLP action to recap, but a massive week of storylines, debates, and one of our favorite interviews of the year. Zane and Tice debut a brand-new segment: Build-A-Player — where each builds the “perfect” pro pickleball player using only 11 unique skills… but they can't use the same player twice. The results? Chaos, controversy, and an absolutely stacked conversation that you'll want to vote on in the comments. We also break down:
If you've ever wondered how to charge what your work is actually worth, this conversation hands you the playbook. Erin and Keri dig in with guest Sarah Petty on switching from “everyone” to right-fit clients, and building systems that serve deeply and profit fairly, so you stop running on volume and start running a business. Sarah is a New York Times best-selling author, highly-acclaimed speaker, author, MBA and coach who started her own boutique photography studio after working for Coca Cola for 20 years and then meeting the marketing goals of a top regional advertising agency's clients. It was at this ad agency where she taught small businesses the value of a strong foundation and how they would grow with a strong brand. She attributes the rapid growth of her boutique photography studio, which was named one of the most profitable in the country within just five years in business by PPA, to the creation of her own strong brand.
