There have been a number of efforts to regulate a transition to lower logistics-related emissions, and all of them involved the state of California and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).  California always plays a unique role in these debates because they have the most air pollution in the country and also the toughest emissions regulations. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) predates the EPA. In the past, they have been able to make their own rules, only requiring waivers when newly proposed standards are tougher than Federal standards.  On May 22, 2025, the Senate voted to strip California of its ability to impose tougher standards on heavy duty trucks and ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. California may be down, but they are certainly not out. They are using other creative ways to regulate the emissions associated with logistics. In this episode of Art of Supply, Kelly Barner looks at this alternate approach to regulation: The Warehouse Actions and Investments to Reduce Emissions Program (known as WAIRE) and the Warehouse Indirect Source Rule (ISR) How these rules are are intended to work and how they are being enforced Whether this alternative approach will be effective in achieving its objectives Links: Examining the Practicality of the EV Truck Mandate Nebraska v.

In this episode of the Post Status Happiness Hour, Michelle Frechette and June Lui introduce Speed Network Online, a new virtual networking initiative for the WordPress community and beyond. They discuss the origins of the idea, event logistics, and the benefits of relaxed, pressure-free networking. The hosts explain how the event will operate, including registration, costs, and future dates, emphasizing the importance of building genuine connections and fostering collaboration in a supportive environment.Top Takeaways:Speed Network Online Was Born from a Real Networking Challenge: The idea originated during a casual conversation where June expressed her struggles expanding her network at large events like WordCamps. Michelle immediately acted on the concept, purchasing a domain and jumpstarting the project. This quick collaboration shows the power of shared vision and execution between community members.The Format Focuses on Accessibility and Practicality: Speed Network Online is designed to be a virtual, low-pressure alternative to traditional networking events. It uses Zoom breakout rooms for one-on-one chats and provides participants with a spreadsheet of contact info afterward, eliminating the need for frantic note-taking. The event is purposefully inclusive, affordable at $20, and structured to reduce anxiety and improve accessibility.The Platform Encourages Relationship-Building, Not Just Pitching: Unlike speed dating or surface-level interactions, the goal is not to “close deals” or just market yourself but to build a lasting network of complementary professionals. The event supports deeper connections that may evolve into partnerships, project collaborations, or referrals over time.Speed Network Online Is Community-Driven and Evolving: June built the website from scratch, and they've begun promoting the project through a new Twitter (X) account: @SpeedNetOnline. They also encourage participants to create WP World profiles to make it easier to stay connected post-event. Michelle emphasizes that these types of grassroots initiatives are powered by genuine collaboration and shared community goals.Mentioned In The Show:Backpocket AceWP Accessibility daySpeed Network OnlineThe WP WorldZoomMark Westguard WS FormNathan TylerN SquaredMeet Michelle.online

What if chasing the right strategy is keeping us from the abundance that's already trying to meet us? In this episode of Speak, Easy, we explore the difference between being aligned to the process and being aligned to abundance. We reflect on the subtle but powerful shifts that happen when we move from obsessing over doing it “right” to trusting in the energetic foundation behind our actions. It's a conversation that blends spiritual insight with grounded experience in business, personal growth, and manifestation. Inspired by a recent conversation with a friend, this episode reminds us that true abundance isn't earned through over-efforting, it's received through deep alignment. When we understand the difference, we begin to let go of rigid plans and instead make space for natural success. Key Takeaways: ✨ Why alignment to abundance often feels simpler and lighter than strategic over-efforting ✨ How to assess whether your current beliefs are aligned with the outcome you want ✨ The role of energy in business success and personal evolution ✨ A personal story that sparked a major mindset shift ✨ The cost of over-identifying with the process ✨ How to recalibrate when things feel off even though you're “doing all the right things” This episode is for you if you've been stuck in cycles of doing more but receiving less, or if you're ready to trust your energy as much as your effort.

Welcome back to the Learn and Memorize Tarot Cards Podcast! In this episode, we delve into the Knight of Pentacles—a card that epitomizes dedication, responsibility, and the unwavering pursuit of goals through consistent effort. Through the imagery of the stationary knight, the carefully held pentacle, and the fertile fields, we explore how this card symbolizes the virtues of patience, methodical planning, and the rewards of steadfast commitment.

When a church finds itself without a pastor, it enters one of the most vulnerable seasons of its existence. Without clear Biblical guidance, churches often turn to worldly methods, corporate models, or emotional decisions to find their next pastor — and sadly, the results are, too often: division, discouragement, and decline.This podcast episode was born from a burden — a burden to see local churches follow the Spirit of God, not the wisdom of man, in finding God's man to lead them. I pray that the episode to follow will encourage churches to trust the Scriptures fully, honor the Lord faithfully, and experience the unity and blessing that come when we follow God's way instead of our own.This episode is all about PRACTICALITY - how to implement the Scriptural principles we discussed last week.

Welcome back to the Learn and Memorize Tarot Cards Podcast! In this episode, we delve into the Page of Pentacles—a card symbolizing the excitement of new beginnings, the dedication to learning, and the practical steps toward achieving long-term goals. Through the imagery of the focused Page, the golden pentacle, and the lush landscape, we explore how this card embodies the spirit of curiosity, the potential of untapped opportunities, and the importance of grounding one's ambitions in reality.

Send us a textThe misconception that spiritual teachings need to be "more practical" reveals either a misunderstanding of what spiritual practice truly is or exposure to teachings that aren't genuinely spiritual. Non-dual traditions offer direct pointers to immediate experience of consciousness that are inherently practical when actually implemented.• Non-dual teachings provide direct access to formless awareness without delay• Basic moral and ethical teachings aren't spiritual—they're common sense• The Upanishads and teachings like "Aham Brahmasmi" (I am Brahman) are deeply practical• Spiritual knowledge must be experienced to be understood• Only a human guru can embody teachings in a way AI cannot• Those who claim teachings aren't practical enough often haven't put them into practice• True connection with consciousness naturally guides all aspects of lifeJoin me on Discord to continue this discussion, and keep an eye out for my upcoming "Resting in Formless Awareness" course that will be launching soon.Join our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/hnRf7wESwX Visit my website: https://www.thebeardedmysticpodcast.com/Buy The Bearded Mystic Podcast Merch: https://thebeardedmysticpodcast.myshopify.com/Want a one-on-one spiritual discussion with The Bearded Mystic - book here: https://www.thebeardedmysticpodcast.com/p/spiritual-discussion/Subscribe to The Bearded Mystic Podcast channel: https://www.youtube.com/ @TheBeardedMysticPodcastBecome a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/thebeardedmysticpodcastRahul on Bluesky:  https://bsky.app/profile/beardedmystic.bsky.socialSupport the show

Do you find yourself leaning too far into intuition and mindset—or too heavily into strategy and systems? What if your true power lies in integrating both? In today's episode, I'm unpacking a conversation that has been on my heart for some time: the beautiful intersection between spirituality and practicality in growing a coaching business. This is a topic I've seen come up time and time again—not just with my clients, but in my own journey as well. I'm exploring what happens when we over-index on either side—becoming too focused on mindset and energy without implementing, or too reliant on strategy without anchoring into deeper alignment. Through examples and lived experience, I'll show you how these two forces work best when they work together—and how real business growth happens when both are honored. If you've ever felt like you should be further along, or like you're constantly searching for the next big breakthrough, this episode will bring grounded clarity and powerful truth. Here's what you'll learn: Why both spiritual development and business strategy are essential to success How over-relying on one side can hold you back, no matter how intentional you are The real reason your marketing or sales system might not be working (yet) What a billion-dollar CEO taught me about blending clarity with consciousness How to discern when you need inner work vs. practical action Why specificity and implementation are the key to breakthrough results How our clients create record-breaking results by aligning both inner and outer growth Resources Mentioned: Learn more about working with me Apply to join our business growth containers designed for coaches ready to scale

As AI disrupts and reshapes our interactions with brands and people alike, how do we genuinely connect with the voices around us? Conversational AI challenges us to rethink engagement with both technology and each other. What does it mean for brands to have a voice, and how can this change redefine connection and accessibility? In this episode of The Trending Communicator, host Dan Nestle sits down with the dynamic duo behind Pragmatic Digital, a strategic marketing agency at the forefront of leveraging cutting-edge technology for tangible business results. Susan and Scot Westwater, authors of Voice Marketing: Harnessing the Power of Conversational AI to Drive Customer Engagement, share their journey from traditional marketing to becoming trailblazers in the world of voice and conversational AI. This episode offers a comprehensive look at the conversational AI ecosystem, from voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant to the integration of voice capabilities in mobile apps and customer service platforms. The Westwaters provide invaluable insights on how businesses can harness these technologies to enhance brand experiences, streamline operations, and create more meaningful customer interactions. They educate Dan on some of the finer points of conversational AI and discuss its impact on marketing and communications, offering strategies for implementing voice technology in various business contexts. The conversation highlights the importance of intentional design in creating effective voice experiences, balancing automation with human oversight in AI-driven customer interactions, and the future of agentic AI and its potential applications in business. Whether you're a seasoned marketer, a communications professional, or a business owner looking to stay ahead of the curve, this episode provides actionable advice on integrating conversational AI into your strategy. Susan and Scot's expertise demystifies complex concepts, making them accessible and applicable to businesses of all sizes. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from two of the industry's leading voices on how to leverage conversational AI to drive customer engagement and propel your business forward in the digital age. Listen in and hear about...  Embracing conversational AI as a powerful tool for customer engagement How voice technology democratizes information access and distribution Crafting brand personalities for AI-driven interactions with customers Balancing human oversight with AI automation in business processes Leveraging voice assistants and chatbots across multiple communication channels Practical steps for integrating AI into existing marketing and PR strategies The future of agentic AI and its potential impact on business operations Notable Quotes On the Power of Voice in Communication: "Spoken word suddenly became this way of being able to transfer information in a much more democratic method. You didn't have to be able to read. There were opportunities to put things in language. It was starting to get back to the roots again of how information was kind of pulling down some of the gatekeeping." - Susan Westwater [08:04 → 08:35] On the Evolution of Brand Personality: "These were all really interesting, rich experiences that come into play, which is what really geeked me out. Now, Scott was a lot. I would say I was more of the heart and emotion of the possible. I would say Scott was much more of the rational nut to put to." - Susan Westwater [08:35 → 08:51] On the Accessibility of Conversational AI: "It reduces friction. It removes literacy out of the equation. You don't have to know how to use a computer. Literally, as long as you can ask a question, you can get some sort of response." - Scot Westwater [10:08 → 10:21] On the Versatility of Conversational AI: "Chatbots are part of conversational, voice assistants are part of it. Voice Mode and ChatGPT, they're all different flavors of it. You're physically using your voice to ask a question and getting some sort of response from a system." - Scot Westwater [10:34 → 10:49] On the Importance of Intentionality in AI Voice: "We have to be intentional then, by the way, about who it is we want our audiences to speak with. And that can work from a B2B perspective just as much as it can work from an external customer engagement perspective." - Susan Westwater [17:02 → 17:17] On the Practicality of AI in Business: "In practical business you probably don't, you probably don't need AGI, quite frankly. A lot of what we're talking about is automating basic business processes, whether you're using AI or other tools." - Scot Westwater [1:01:22 → 1:01:37] On Getting Started with AI: "Do what you did and just get started now, whether it's learning or experimenting or use case identification, like, just start. There is so much fear out there. There's so much, quite frankly, misinformation related to AI and it's just a matter of getting in there, getting comfortable, getting those quick wins, seeing how it can actually help your process." - Scot Westwater [1:05:28 → 1:05:52] Resources and Links Dan Nestle Inquisitive Communications | Website The Trending Communicator | Website Communications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's Substack Dan Nestle | LinkedIn Dan Nestle | Twitter/X Susan and Scot Westwater Susan Westwater | LinkedIn Scot Westwater | Linkedin Pragmatic Digital | Website Voice Marketing: Harnessing the Power of Conversational AI to Drive Customer Engagement | Amazon Timestamped key moments from this episode (as generated by Fireflies.ai)
