Podcasts about projects

In this special episode of The EV Ready Podcast, hosts Justin Ries and John Gilbrook talk with Nick Trout from Sourcewell to explore how cooperative purchasing helps state and local governments, schools, and nonprofits streamline EV and energy management projects while cutting costs and reducing risk. How Cooperative Purchasing Accelerates EV Charging and Energy Management for Public Entities Using Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing model, public entities can bypass lengthy, resource‑intensive RFP processes and move faster on critical EV and energy management projects. By leveraging competitively solicited contracts like EVready's Sourcewell award, agencies gain access to pre-vetted vendors, transparent pricing, and contract terms that already meet procurement and compliance requirements.​ For state and local governments, school districts, and nonprofits, this structure: Reduces administrative burden Shortens procurement timelines Lowers the risk associated with selecting new EV and energy management partners Instead of writing their own complex solicitations, buyers can “piggyback” on Sourcewell's competitively bid contracts, allowing them to focus on planning and implementing EV charging infrastructure and fleet electrification strategies that align with budget and sustainability goals

Akiba Leisman, President and CEO of Mako Mining (TSX.V:MKO – OTCQX:MAKOF), joins me for a comprehensive review of all 4 company Projects, on an operational, developmental and exploration perspective. The Company operates the high-grade San Albino gold mine in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua. Mako owns the Moss Mine in Arizona, an open pit gold mine in northwestern Arizona, which is ramping up production. Mako now controls the permitted Mt. Hamilton Gold-Silver Project located in White Pine County, Nevada, USA as the next key development project in the cue.  Mako also holds a 100% interest in the PEA-stage Eagle Mountain Project in Guyana, South America.   Initially we review the San Albino operations, how Q3 was a solid quarter, but not running as optimally as it has been in Q4.  San Albino ranks as one of the highest-grade open pit gold mines globally and this is translating over to great revenues in light of the higher metals prices.  Akiba points out that really Q4 will be the strongest quarter of the year, and this is what company has been guiding all along, but that December is turning out to be the strongest month operationally thus far.   Additionally, we discuss all the district-scale exploration potential and multiple drill rigs turning around the mine and across the land concession.   We also unpack the ramp of mining at the tail end of Q3 and into Q4 at the Moss Mine, in Arizona.   Akiba unpacks some of the operational and site layout challenges their team has overcome or has a process in place to address in the year to come.  Even though Moss is a lower-grade mine, and has only been operating as partial efficiency, it has still been profitable. As mining increases by accessing better areas of the mine, and debottlenecking certain processes, then costs will come down and it should become a bigger contributor as next year progresses.   The Mt. Hamilton Project has all major state and federal permits to allow construction of an open pit, heap leach gold-silver project, and has a current mineral resource estimate with an effective date of September 23, 2025. We discuss the related-party transaction involving Sailfish Royalty Corp, and some of work flying drones over the property a couple of weeks back before the snowy weather came in, setting them up for development work this April.   Additionally, we discussed the 2nd layer of mineralization and value proposition of the Mt Hamilton Project, because it also hosts a tungsten/copper/molybdenum target, located below and independent of the gold and silver Mt. Hamilton MRE. This tungsten target has been defined by over 100,000 ft of historical exploration drilling. In a report by the Department of the Interior, dated August 25, 2025, tungsten (W) was named as one of the top 10 critical metals listed by their estimated probability-weighted impact of supply disruptions on the U.S. economy.  There is the potential to seek government funds allocated for the development of critical minerals for this portion of the deposit down the road as another potential opportunity.   Wrapping up, we delve into the next key steps for permitting and development work at the Eagle Mountain Gold Project in Guyana; set to be in construction in late 2026 and production by H2 of 2027..      If you have any further questions for Akiba regarding Mako Mining, then please email them into me at  Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Mako Mining at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell more shares at any time.   Click here for a summary of the recent news out of Mako Mining.   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party on Monday compiled a draft proposal calling for an end to government support for large-scale solar power plants, in light of growing concerns over environmental damage and landscape degradation.

Chariot Ltd (AIM:CHAR, OTC:OIGLF) chief financial officer Julian Maurice-Williams talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about two key announcements tied to the company's renewable energy operations in South Africa. The first announcement covers the financial close of two large-scale wind power projects — Zen (100MW) and Bergriver (94MW) — both located in the Western Cape. Maurice-Williams highlighted that Chariot Generation and Trading, a new subsidiary, owns 24% of the assets alongside project lead Acciona Energía. Construction is set to begin imminently, with commissioning targeted for mid-2027. The second announcement focuses on the financing of Chariot's stake. Maurice-Williams explained the multi-layered structure, stating: “We brought in a strategic partner, and we've done it all at the subsidiary level… around $100 million net.” Funding sources include $284 million of project finance debt from Standard Bank and Investec, a $17 million equity investment from South African fund Mahlako, and a $9 million mezzanine facility from Standard Bank. He also outlined how the structure ensures no dilution at the parent level, while retaining control of the renewable business. Looking ahead to 2026, Chariot aims to generate material revenues from both its renewable and upstream oil and gas arms. Maurice-Williams also noted that the company is exploring the separation of these divisions and has entered discussions with ACWA Power regarding a broader Southern African sustainable energy platform.

When Jen Simonic and Masey Kaplan's friend lost her mother, she had the challenge of going through her mother's things while grieving her loss. Among her posessions was something almost every crafter has at least one of: a work in progress. Jen and Masey had each finished projects for bereaved family members before, but neither of them could take on this one, a pair of crocheted blankets for two very tall sons. If the two of them were happy to finish a loved one's unfinished craft project, they thought, other fiber artists would be willing to do it, too—fiber artists with a variety of craft skills. And there must be families of deceased crafters who weren't lucky to know someone personally who could take on the task but would treasure having a finished item that their loved one began for them. So began Loose Ends (https://looseends.org/), an organization that Jen and Masey think of as matchmakers for heirs and finishers of uncompleted works, Loose Ends, which was established in May 2023 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit, set out to build a network that connects volunteer crafters with local families to complete projects that were left unfinished by death or disability. Hanging flyers near their homes, Jen and Masey quickly found finishers and projects in crochet, knitting, and quilting. Loose Ends currently seeks finishers in any textile handcraft and matches finishers with projects across the world. Projects under way include weaving, embroidery, and beading, as far afield as Alaska, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. Their informational flyer is now available in 12 languages. You may be surprised to learn that for about 2,000 projects in process, 25,000 volunteers have signed up as finishers—so crafters far outnumber craft projects at this time. But Loose Ends is always looking for more volunteer finishers, both to cover a variety of crafts and to match families with nearby finishers when possible. Any of us who love making things with our hands hate to think of our work in progress going to waste, languishing in boxes or (worse) winding up in the trash if we're not able to finish them ourselves. By matching finishers and unfinished works, Loose Ends brings solace to families of deceased crafters and honors the work of their loved ones.

Top Stories for December 13th Publish Date: December 13th PRE-ROLL: SUGAR HILL ICE SKATING From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, December 13th and Happy Birthday to Ted Nugent I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Suwanee recognizes Eagle Scout projects Suspect arrested after road rage incident leads to stabbing on I-85 in Gwinnett Peachtree Corners Town Center's movie theater is third major closure of 2025 Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on milk Break 1: THE STRAND HOLIDAY STORY 1: Suwanee recognizes Eagle Scout projects At November’s City Council meeting, Suwanee took a moment to shine a spotlight on three incredible Eagle Scouts who poured their time, energy, and heart into projects that made the community a little brighter. “Thank you to these young leaders for their creativity and dedication,” the city shared. Here’s what they accomplished: Jocelyn Carsley (Troop 5109) transformed the barn at White Street Park with a kids’ activity area and a colorful mural. Meredith Carsley (Troop 5109) built observation decks for better views at city events. Colin Kenney (Troop 608) revamped the landscaping around the “Mommy” sculpture at PlayTown Suwanee. Amazing work, all around! STORY 2: Suspect arrested after road rage incident leads to stabbing on I-85 in Gwinnett A man accused of stabbing another driver in a road rage clash last month has been arrested, Gwinnett County police announced. The incident happened on Nov. 13 along I-85 South. Peter Chai, the victim, told officers he got into a heated exchange with a white van. Things escalated fast. According to police, the van’s driver, Yoandry Rincon, got out, approached Chai’s window, and stabbed him in the chest. Chai fought back—grabbing a bat from his car—which sent Rincon running back to his van. Chai was hospitalized but has since recovered. Rincon? He’s now in Gwinnett County Jail, facing aggravated assault charges. STORY 3: Peachtree Corners Town Center's movie theater is third major closure of 2025 It’s been a tough year for Peachtree Corners Town Center, and now there’s more bad news to close out 2025—CMX Cinebistro has shut its doors. The theater, which opened in March 2019, quietly disappeared from the CMX website, though it was still being hyped on social media just a few months ago as the go-to spot for date nights and family outings. This marks the third big closure in six months. Lazy Dog left in July, blaming parking headaches, and Uncle Jack’s Meat House followed in August. For a six-year-old development, it’s starting to feel like a rough patch. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets - DTL HOLIDAY STORY 4: Housing Matters: HUD pauses changes to housing grants after lawsuit The cost of living is crushing, and it’s forcing people into impossible situations—cramped hotel rooms, shelters, or worse, the streets. Here’s the latest on housing and homelessness: HUD’s Homeless Aid Shake-Up Hits Pause The Trump administration’s plan to cap grants for permanent housing and programs like those supporting transgender communities has been put on hold after a lawsuit. Critics say the changes would displace 170,000 people. HUD now promises a revised policy by January. Atlanta Food Bank’s Big Push With demand up 70%, the Atlanta Community Food Bank is racing to collect 10 million meals by year’s end. A $100,000 match doubles every donation. Housing Market Stalls New home listings dropped 1.7%—the sharpest decline in two years. Buyers and sellers are waiting, unsure of what 2026 will bring. STORY 5: Kim Peeples makes a lifelong impact on Brookwood’s theater family For Kim Peeples, music isn’t just a career—it’s her heartbeat. She retired from Brookwood High in 2019, but let’s be honest, she never really left. This year, she hit a milestone: her 100th musical production, “String,” which won the region one-act competition. Peeples’ journey with Brookwood started in the early ’80s, when she was fresh out of college and working under her middle school chorus teacher, Lori Ziecker. “Lori was everything,” Peeples said, her voice catching. “She passed in May, but her influence is everywhere.” Over the years, Peeples became a cornerstone of Brookwood’s theater and choral programs, working alongside the Lindahl family—first Ken and Patty, and now their daughter, Laura. And family is exactly what Brookwood has been to Peeples. From directing “Evita” in 1990 to the award-winning “1940s Radio Hour” in 1998, and more recent productions like “Ragtime” and “Bright Star,” her passion has left an indelible mark. We’ll be right back.

Comedian Dai Henwood's ticked plenty of boxes over his three decades in the business, but next May, he'll take on a new challenge and host the Best Foods Comedy Gala. The event will take place from May 1 to May 2, and it represents a career-first for the Kiwi comedy legend. Henwood says New Zealand's gone through some significant changes on the world stage, having moved from 'culturally cringe' to something meaningful. "I'm someone who loves change and I've always loved change. So seeing how things evolve is awesome. Yet, it's so cool you have something like the gala - which in its essence has stayed the same, it is an intro to the Comedy Festival." Tickets for the event are on sale now - and if you order before December 18th, you go in the draw to win some prizes, including a signed copy of Dai's book.

Most leaders talk about AI in terms of pilots, projects, and one-off tools. In this solo episode, host Susan Diaz explains why that mindset stalls adoption - and introduces the idea of an AI flywheel: a simple, compounding loop of audit → training → personalized tools → ROI that quietly turns experiments into momentum across your whole organisation. Episode summary Susan opens by contrasting how most organizations approach AI - pilots, isolated chatbots, a few licences to "see what happens" - with how enduring companies build flywheels that compound over time. Borrowing from Jim Collins' Good to Great, and examples like Amazon's recommendation engine, she reframes AI from "one big launch" to a heavy wheel that's hard to move at first, but almost impossible to stop once it's spinning. She then introduces her AI flywheel for organizations, built on four moving pillars: Audit - reality-check where AI already lives in tools, workflows, risks, and guardrails. Training - raise the floor of AI literacy so more people can safely experiment. Personalised tools and workflows - move beyond generic prompts into department- and workflow-specific systems. ROI tracking - measure time saved, errors reduced, risk reduced, and adoption so the story keeps getting funded. Instead of a linear checklist, these components form a loop - each turn of the wheel making the next easier, and creating an unfair advantage for organizations that start early. Finally, Susan adds the outer ring: human-first culture and governance as the operating system around the flywheel - psychological safety, champions and mentors, and values like equity that ensure AI momentum doesn't quietly recreate hustle culture or leave people behind. She closes with practical questions any leadership team can use this week to start their own AI flywheel. Key takeaways Projects start and end. Flywheels don't. Treating AI as a string of pilots and vendor launches creates start–stop energy. Designing a flywheel turns every experiment into input for the next win. A flywheel is heavy at first - but gains unstoppable momentum. Like a giant metal train wheel, it needs a lot of initial force, but each full turn adds speed. AI works the same: early experiments feel slow, compounding learning later feels unfairly fast. The AI flywheel has four core pillars: Audit - map current tools, workflows, risks, and guardrails; discover hidden wins and power users. Training - treat AI like financial literacy: a minimum viable level for everyone so they can ask better questions and prompt more effectively. Personalised tools & workflows - stop asking "Which LLM?" and start asking "Which steps in this 37-step process should AI do?" Workflow first, tool second. ROI tracking - measure time saved, errors reduced, faster time to market, risk reduction, and % of AI-augmented workflows so leaders keep investing. Culture is the operating system around the flywheel. Without psychological safety, people hide experiments. Without support, power users burn out. Values like equity matter: who's getting trained, who has access, and who you're helping reskill. Governance should feel like guidance, not punishment. You don't build an AI flywheel in a day. You start with one audit, one workflow, one dashboard that makes things more transparent - and commit to one small centimetre of momentum at a time. Episode highlights [00:02] Why "we're piloting a chatbot" is not a strategy. [01:34] Flywheel 101: the train-wheel analogy and why momentum beats one-off effort. [03:19] Amazon's recommendation engine as a classic business flywheel. [05:02] Applying Jim Collins' Good to Great flywheel lens to AI initiatives. [05:30] From big bang ERP-style AI projects to small, compounding loops. [08:00] Introducing the four pillars: audit, training, personalised tools, ROI. [08:53] Audit as reality check: surfacing hidden wins and DIY power users. [11:14] Training as "raising the floor" of AI literacy. [14:08] Workflow-first thinking and the myth of the single all-powerful agent. [17:33] ROI stories: error reduction, faster time to market, and risk reduction. [20:19] Culture as outer ring: psychological safety, champions, values in action. [23:06] Starting your flywheel: three questions for your leadership team. Use this episode as a design tool, not just a definition. Grab a whiteboard with your leadership team and map: Where are we already auditing, training, personalising tools, and measuring ROI - however informally? Where is the wheel broken, or missing entirely? What's one centimetre of movement we can create this quarter - one audit, one workflow, one dashboard - to start our AI flywheel turning?

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for December 12th Publish Date:  December 12th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, December 12th and Happy Birthday to Frank Sinatra I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Pedestrian safety improvements coming to south Cobb Gateway Marietta CID seeks public input on 12 projects The Georgia Ballet Presents: The Nutcracker Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on milk As well as Shane Delancey the Director of the Christmas Tradition at the Strand Theatre All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  Now here is Shane Delancey the Director of the Christmas Tradition at the Strand Theatre BREAK: THE STRAND STORY 1: Pedestrian safety improvements coming to south Cobb  Cobb County’s making moves to keep pedestrians safer in south Cobb, tackling two big projects: a pedestrian bridge near Factory Shoals Road and new bollards at Mableton Town Square Park. Let’s start with Factory Shoals. That bridge over I-20? Built in 1963, and, well, it shows. No sidewalks, no bike lanes—just a narrow shoulder that’s barely walkable. Commissioner Monique Sheffield said it’s been a problem for years, especially for folks working at nearby businesses. Now, the county’s greenlit a plan for a new pedestrian bridge alongside the old one, connecting sidewalks on both sides. And Mableton Park? Bollards are coming to stop cars from driving onto the grounds—because, yes, that’s been happening. STORY 2: Gateway Marietta CID seeks public input on 12 projects  The Gateway Marietta CID wants your thoughts—yes, yours—on 12 infrastructure projects they’re planning. These aren’t just random ideas; they’re focused on Franklin Gateway, South Marietta Parkway, and Delk Road. What’s on the table? Everything from streetscapes and trails to bridge replacements and new road connections. Some projects, like the Rottenwood Creek Trail extension ($20 million!) and Franklin Gateway bridge rebuild, are already in motion. Others, like adding Gateway signage or narrowing roads for multiuse trails, are still in the “what do you think?” phase. Your input will help shape what gets prioritized. Got opinions? Take the survey before the master plan wraps next year. Visit engage.publiccoordinate.com/en/project/gateway-marietta-cid-project-prioritization. STORY 3: The Georgia Ballet Presents: The Nutcracker  The Georgia Ballet’s The Nutcracker is back, running Dec. 18–23 at the Jennie T. Anderson Theatre, and it’s bringing all the holiday magic you’d expect—plus a little extra sparkle this year. Here’s the twist: they’ve teamed up with Hamp & Harry’s, a Marietta Square favorite, to add some festive flair. Think Nutcracker-themed cocktails (yes, there’s wine and beer too) in the lobby before the show and during intermission. The ballet itself? Pure enchantment. Tchaikovsky’s iconic score, Clara’s midnight adventure, snowflakes, sweets, and Daet Rodriguez’s choreography. There’s even a Sensory-Friendly performance on Dec. 18—perfect for kids or anyone needing a gentler experience. Tickets start at $23. Don’t wait. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: Villa Rica Wonderland Train STORY 4: North Cobb Christian student wins statewide essay contest  North Cobb Christian seventh-grader Samille Shy just snagged first place in Georgia for her essay, “What Is Patriotism to Me?”—a big win in the VFW’s Patriot’s Pen contest, which had over 120,000 entries nationwide. Samille’s take on patriotism? It’s about giving back. She wrote about volunteering at a food pantry, helping out at The Humane Society, singing with her school chorus on Veterans Day, and being part of the Sea Cadet Corps. The Georgia VFW loved it, awarding her top honors. Next stop? The regional competition. Not bad for a middle schooler, huh? STORY 5: McEachern rolls into state championship game  Every time McEachern scores, the announcer calls out the updated score. And when the opponent has zero? Oh, the crowd lives for it. They stretch it out—“zerooooooo”—like it’s a victory chant. They’ve had plenty of practice. Over the last two seasons, McEachern’s flag football team has gone 51-2, allowing just 2.9 points per game with 35 shutouts. Monday was no different. The Indians blanked Lithia Springs 19-0, then crushed North Forsyth 33-0 to punch their ticket to the state championship at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Now, McEachern heads to the championship, chasing back-to-back titles. GEORGIA TECH: No. 22 Georgia Tech is heading to the Pop-Tarts Bowl to take on No. 12 BYU on Saturday, Dec. 27, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando.

If the holidays feel like a chaotic mash-up of family gatherings, last-minute tasks, and pressure to magically “figure out next year,” this episode is your breath of fresh air. Carly and Joe break down why December is actually the perfect time to prep your business, without overhauling your life, and how reconnecting with your why can completely change the way you enter 2026. They'll walk you through mini-detox habits that clear mental clutter, lifestyle-first planning that puts joy back on the calendar, and small routines you can start now to build real momentum before January even arrives.FAQs From The EpisodeHow early should I start planning for the new year?Earlier than you think, but not in an overwhelming way. December is a great month to ease into planning by reconnecting with your personal and professional “why,” cleaning up digital clutter, and building tiny habits you want to bring into 2026. You don't need a full-year plan, focus on your first 90 days, because it's specific enough to take action but flexible enough to pivot as things change.What should I prioritize during a December “business detox”?Stick to high-impact clean-ups that reduce mental load: unsubscribe from emails you never read, unfollow accounts that drain your energy, organize your workspace, clear your desktop, and gather scattered to-dos into one place. These small resets set the stage for clearer thinking and a calmer January, without requiring hours of work.How do I build new habits for 2026 without burning out before the year even starts?Start practicing them now in micro-form. If you want to wake up earlier, try doing it one or two days a week in December. If you want to spend 10 minutes engaging on LinkedIn every morning, start this week. If you want to guard your deep-work hours, experiment with checking email later in the day. You're not aiming for perfection, just building familiarity so January doesn't feel like a hard reset.

Today, I'm chatting with Todd Welzbacher from Champion Power Equipment, and let me tell you, we're diving headfirst into the electrifying world of power storage and generators. We tackle the burning question: how the heck do you find the right generator for your home or project? Spoiler alert: it's not as simple as picking the one with the shiniest paint job. We get into the nitty-gritty of portable generators, inverters, and power stations, and trust me, there's a lot of confusion out there—like trying to explain why your cat hates you after you just fed it. Plus, Todd shares some hilarious horror stories about generator mishaps that'll make you rethink your next DIY project. So grab your headphones and get ready to power up your knowledge (and maybe your home) with some seriously useful tips!A fun and informative conversation unfolds as Eric chats with Todd Welzbacher from Champion Power Equipment about the ins and outs of power storage and generators. We dive into the nitty-gritty details of choosing the right generator for your home or project, especially in those delightful moments when the lights go out. Eric shares his own traumatic experiences with the Pacific Northwest's infamous ice storms, where he learned the hard way that relying on a gas-guzzling generator ain't the way to go. Todd sprinkles in some serious knowledge about the evolution of generators and the new options available, including inverter generators that not only save fuel but also keep your sensitive electronics safe from power surges. Who knew power could be so complicated yet so essential? We tackle the differences between generators and power stations, while also shedding light on the importance of clean power and why that matters more than you think. Spoiler alert: it's not just about keeping your fridge running during a blackout; it's about making sure your smart home doesn't turn into a dumb home when the grid goes down. So, whether you're a DIY enthusiast or just trying to keep the lights on, this episode is packed with practical advice and a few laughs along the way!Takeaways: Understanding the differences between generators, inverters, and power stations can save you from confusion and possible regret during an outage. When choosing a generator, it's crucial to consider your home's power needs, especially if you want to run heavy-duty appliances like AC units. Inverter generators are generally quieter and more fuel-efficient, making them a better choice for camping or tailgating adventures. Always keep your generator maintained with regular oil changes and filter replacements to ensure it runs smoothly when you need it most. With Champion Power Equipment's tri-fuel options, you can use gasoline, propane, or natural gas, giving you flexibility during power outages or outdoor activities. For those living in areas prone to outages, investing in a home standby generator can provide peace of mind and uninterrupted power during severe weather.

Interview with Alan Carter, President & CEO of Cabral Gold Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/cabral-gold-tsxvcbr-pitch-perfect-november-2025-8486Recording date: 10th December 2025Cabral Gold Inc. (TSXV:CBR) has secured $45 million US in gold loan financing to construct its first mine at the Cuiú Cuiú project in northern Brazil, with commercial production targeted for Q4 2026. The financing structure avoids equity dilution during the critical construction phase, preserving shareholder value whilst enabling the company's transition from explorer to cash-generating producer.Construction activities have accelerated substantially with 143 personnel on site, 50 pieces of heavy equipment operational, and major foundation concrete pours scheduled by year-end. President and CEO Alan Carter confirmed: "We recently raised $45 million US through a gold loan. Projects in construction. We should be producing gold in the fourth quarter of 2026," noting "there was no equity raise as part of that, which I think surprised a lot of people."The project benefits from unusually deep oxide weathering averaging 60 metres – a geological characteristic Carter describes as "quite unusual from most gold deposits around the world." This creates substantial free-digging material processable through simple metallurgical circuits without conventional crushing and grinding infrastructure, enabling low-capital initial operations.Cabral's strategic differentiation centres on its two-stage development approach designed to eliminate serial equity dilution. The initial 1,500 tonnes per day oxide operation generates internal cash flow to fund aggressive exploration of much larger hard rock resources beneath the weathered zone, transforming the company from market-dependent explorer into self-funding entity. Carter articulated the rationale: "We think that the best way to fund all that work that needs to be done is not by continually diluting the capital structure and doing private placement after private placement and ending up with a massive number of shares issued and outstanding."Unlike typical developers focused solely on construction execution, Cabral maintains three drill rigs and 80 exploration personnel operating concurrently with mine building. Recent drone magnetic surveys confirmed clear structural continuity over 2 kilometres between the Central deposit and PDM discovery, with reconnaissance drilling validating gold intersections along the newly identified trend. Carter characterised this as "tremendously exciting," substantially expanding prospective ground between known deposits.Management describes Cuiú Cuiú as a district-scale gold system with four new discoveries since the 2022 resource estimate and 50 additional peripheral targets with identified gold. Carter positioned the oxide operation within this broader context: "The bigger prize at Cuiú Cuiú is the definition of this very, very large gold district that clearly contains multiple deposits."The permitting pathway utilises Brazilian trial mining licences for initial operations with full mining licence approval for 3,000 tonnes per day expansion anticipated January 2026. Recent public consultations demonstrated no community opposition, de-risking regulatory progression. The full permit isn't operationally required until mid-2027, providing comfortable scheduling buffer.Project execution benefits from experienced Brazilian mining personnel including Luis Salaro, who has built multiple coal mines in Brazil, alongside Ausenco engineering support and what Carter describes as "a very impressive group of consultants."Cabral's investment proposition combines near-term production catalyst, non-dilutive financing preserving equity value, and district-scale exploration potential funded through internal cash generation. The parallel execution of construction and exploration positions the company to enter production with an expanded resource base rather than simply a built mine processing fixed inventory, creating multiple value drivers as Cabral transitions from explorer to cash-generating producer with growth optionality in a strong gold price environment.View Cabral Gold's company profile:https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/cabral-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with Lukas Egger, VP of Product Strategy and Innovation at SAP Signavio. They discuss the realities of implementing AI in large enterprises, the pitfalls of treating AI as a plug-and-play solution, and the importance of re-engineering business systems to unlock true value. Lucas shares insights on innovation, the dangers of the "speed race," and how organizations can de-risk ambitious AI projects. Four Key Takeaways: The AI "Rat Race" Myth [2:00]Lukas explains why the biggest mistake in AI adoption is thinking it's a race to move the fastest, and why slowing down can actually lead to outsized value. The True Cost and Opportunity of AI [7:26]The conversation compares current AI investments to the Manhattan Project, highlighting the generational scale of today's infrastructure build-out and the unique opportunities it presents. Paradigm Shifts: Cheap Content, Expensive Trust [16:59]Lukas discusses how the abundance of cheap, AI-generated content shifts value creation from ownership to membership, and why trust and personalization are now critical. Re-engineering Business Systems for AI [24:29]Lukas argues that success with AI requires rethinking and redesigning entire business processes, not just swapping out old components for new technology. Quote of the Show (36:55):"The most important part is to claim agency about your strategy and what you want to achieve, and this will not come from giving into whatever the latest social media news might imply.” – Lukas Egger Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

In this episode, Will Simpson gets honest about the moment he realized he didn't want a boss. He breaks down the identity crisis that hit after leaving decades of COO/CTO life, the surprising advantage founders over 40 actually have, why solopreneurs must unlearn corporate thinking, and how embracing “good enough” is the key to launching anything. If you've ever wondered whether you're too late, too structured, too corporate, or too unsure to build something of your own…this conversation is the permission slip you've been waiting for.FAQs From The EpisodeWhat makes this episode valuable for solopreneurs who come from the corporate world?Will explains exactly why corporate experience does translate, just not in the ways you think. He talks through the mindset traps, the “ambient stress” you leave behind, and how to rewire yourself for small-ball thinking, fast execution, and building something that actually energizes you.Does Will think it's harder to become a founder after 40?Not at all, he argues the opposite. According to Will, founders over 40 bring unmatched domain expertise, resilience, and clarity. The data supports it, and he shares why experience gives mid-career professionals an overlooked edge that younger founders simply can't replicate.What's Will's top advice for solopreneurs who want to use AI or no-code tools?He stresses that AI can help you build prototypes fast, but not without structure, constraints, and actual expertise guiding it. He breaks down why you can't “speak” a fully functional app into existence, how to think like a builder instead of a coder, and why you should ship an MVP that's slightly embarrassing.

AI failure rates shock me.Erin Gajdalo, CEO of Pluralsight, joined me and what she revealed about why AI projects collapse disturbed me even more..I expected to talk about tools, frameworks, and roadmaps.Instead, Erin asked me question I wasn't ready for:“Is your team actually ready for this? How can you even tell?"Um...Because most leaders — myself included — push for AI adoption without slowing down to ask if our teams can actually absorb the shift.Erin has led major transformations at Avantax, LPL, and now Pluralsight... and she's seen the same silent pattern across industries:Leaders blame the tech.Teams blame the workload.But the real problem is almost always hidden deeper.Readiness....and getting their quickly....is everything.In our conversation, she breaks down:

Project managers are often tasked with delivering “on time and on budget”—but what if that's not enough? In this episode, Galen Low sits down with Stephen Devaux, a longtime project management theorist and the mind behind techniques like critical path drag and value breakdown structures. Together, they unpack why project leaders need to start managing their work like investors—not just builders—and why this mindset shift matters more than ever in the AI era.From projects that save lives to projects that launch products, Stephen explains how understanding a project's value profile—not just its deliverables—is the key to smarter decision-making. They cover real-world applications of treating projects as investments, explore the bridge-building metaphor that will stick with you for life, and discuss how AI could (and should) support project managers in this paradigm shift.Resources from this episode:Join the Digital Project Manager CommunitySubscribe to the newsletter to get our latest articles and podcastsConnect with Stephen on LinkedInStephen's books:Managing Projects as Investments: Earned Value to Business ValueTotal Project Control: A Practitioner's Guide to Managing Projects as Investments

Get ready for Episode 189 of On the Delo as David DeLorenzo reconnects with designer and founder Dala for a real, behind-the-scenes conversation on motherhood, leadership, and building a boutique hospitality design firm that actually supports life outside of work. From early episodes recorded in a conference room to a thriving studio with 12 team members, Dala opens up about how becoming a mom, facing an early breast cancer diagnosis, and scaling House of Form have sharpened her focus on time, team, and purpose.Dala shares how “$1 tasks,” choosing CEO over designer, and building the right leadership layer allowed her to step out of the day-to-day and into higher-value work, all while expanding from food and beverage into hotels, multifamily, branding, retail, and events. The two dig into why thoughtful design is a business tool—not a luxury extra—for restaurants and hospitality concepts, plus how Off the Menu, her nonprofit for emerging F&B concepts, is now supporting founders across the country with mentorship and grants. If you're a restaurateur, hospitality operator, or creative entrepreneur trying to grow without burning out, this episode delivers tactical insight, honest reflection, and plenty of laughs.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 3:13) Four Years Later: Return to the Pod and Episode 189(3:14 - 8:45) From Two Employees to Twelve: Team Growth, New Verticals, and Culture at House of Form(8:46 - 16:55) Systems, AI, and One-of-One Design: How Dala Scales Creativity Without Losing Soul(16:56 - 22:30) Off the Menu and Early Detection: Nonprofit Impact and Dala's Breast Cancer Journey(22:31 - 29:54) Projects, PV Mall, and A Week in the Life of a Mom-CEO(29:55 - 39:58) Travel, Calendars, Spa Dreams, and What Really Recharges Dala
