What happens when the business you dreamed of building starts depending on you for everything? In this episode, DJ sits down with Katie Reschny of The Elm Body Co. to talk about the messy, emotional, and deeply human side of growing a wellness business beyond yourself. Katie shares the behind-the-scenes reality of building a multi-location massage and bodywork business with a team of 12+ practitioners including the identity shifts, leadership challenges, systems, emotional labor, and hard decisions that rarely get talked about publicly. This isn't one of those conversations that makes growth sound glamorous. It's a conversation about what actually happens after you become "successful." The pressure of being the one everyone depends on. The guilt of stepping away from hands-on work. The fear of becoming a "bad boss." The emotional weight of leading people while still trying to protect your own energy. Katie opens up about what it looked like to go from massage therapist to business owner… and eventually into a leadership role she never originally planned for. Together, DJ and Katie unpack: Why being fully booked is not the same thing as having freedom The surprising emotional challenges of leading a team How systems and structure actually create safety (not corporate coldness) The tension between wanting to help everyone and protecting your own capacity Why many wellness business owners accidentally build businesses that trap them The mindset shifts required to step out of the treatment room How leadership changes your relationship with time, money, and responsibility What it really takes to create a business that doesn't rely entirely on your hands This episode will especially resonate with massage therapists and wellness business owners who: feel overwhelmed by the weight of responsibility are struggling to get clients to book with their team instead of just them want to work less without feeling guilty are afraid of losing the heart of their business as they grow feel stuck between "I can't keep doing this forever" and "I don't know what comes next" There's also a powerful conversation in this episode around sustainability. Not just financial sustainability. Personal sustainability. Emotional sustainability. Physical sustainability. Because eventually, almost every massage therapist reaches a point where they quietly wonder: "Can I keep doing this the same way forever?" And this conversation is about what comes next.   ---   *Brought to you by GlossGenius.*   Are you dealing with gaps in your schedule? Clients who don't rebook?

Additional phases, officials said, would build on those process improvements, but the announcement did not outline the next steps of the overall project — or a timetable for starting them.ASR said that it anticipates adding 15 jobs to its current workforce of 500. NOLA.com reports that the state's incentive package for the project included a 80% property tax abatement over 10 years.The Chalmette Refinery began operations at the campus along the Mississippi River in 1909, and it wears the scars of a 117-year history that has included hurricanes, fires and dramatic changes in the sugar market. Its 32 production lines can reportedly produce some 6 million pounds of sugar per day across dozens of product platforms. #manufacturing, #foodsupply, #sugarindustry, #refinery, #infrastructure, #capitalinvestment, #industrialupgrade, #madeinusa, #supplychain, #foodmanufacturing, #energyefficiency, #sustainability, #industrialnews, #businessnews, #louisiana, #economicdevelopment, #manufacturingjobs, #plantmodernization, #operations, #industryupdates

(The Center Square) – Gas prices have surged in Illinois, and an American Automobile Association spokesperson says several factors are to blame. AAA listed the average price for regular unleaded at $4.53 a gallon on Wednesday, up from $3.41 a year ago and $3.98 one month ago. Molly Hart, spokesperson for AAA, said the conflict with Iran is playing a role. “What a lot of people don't understand is about 60% of what we pay at the pump has to do with the price of a barrel of crude oil. So when that price keeps going up, we see the pain at the pump,” Hart told The Center Square. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hat tip to David Blackmon for carrying the podcast as I had internet issues. 1. California's Fuel Supply CrisisThe episode centers on an impending fuel shortage in California caused by multiple factors:Refineries shutting down (Valero, Rodeo, Marathon, Phillips)Tanker shipments from Asia halted since mid-MarchImports now account for 40%+ of California's fuel supplyOnly 3-7 days of fuel storage remaining (vs. Governor Newsom's claim of 30 days)Tankers from the Gulf take 25-45 days to reach California due to Panama Canal backups2. Political Dysfunction in CaliforniaAssemblyman Stan Ellis criticizes:Inefficient time management in the state assembly (spending $40,000/hour on ceremonial resolutions)Partisan gridlock and ideological rigidity among Democratic leadershipLack of accountability and poor legislative prioritizationThe disconnect between politicians and real-world business operations3. California's Energy Policy ProblemsKey issues highlighted:CARB regulations: Reformulated fuel requirements (Carbob) limit fuel sourcesCap and Trade: Billions diverted to high-speed rail instead of infrastructure or energy solutionsEnvironmental lawsuits: Constant litigation blocking oil and gas developmentRenewable diesel conversion: Rodeo and Marathon refineries converted away from gasoline/jet fuel production, removing 350,000 barrels/day of capacity4. Short-term and Long-term SolutionsProposed remedies include:Immediate: Import non-Carbob gasoline from the Gulf; suspend Jones Act restrictionsMedium-term: Executive orders to federalize oil and gas as a national security issueLong-term: Increase domestic drilling, restore refinery profitability, eliminate Cap and Trade, invest in alternative energy (fusion, nuclear, hydrogen)5. Geopolitical and Supply Chain IssuesU.S. importing 30% of crude oil from the Middle EastIndirect support of Russia through purchases of Indian fuel (which sources from Russia)Iran's strait closure affecting global oil productionOther countries (Nevada, Arizona) dependent on California's fuel supply6. Economic and National Security ImplicationsOil and gas represent 8% of California's GDP; without it, the other 92% is unsustainableMilitary bases (42 in California) dependent on fuel supplyCommercial aviation and trucking (grocery delivery) at riskPotential for widespread economic disruption if crisis occursThe overall tone is urgent and critical of California's environmental policies.

Is BP using an ExxonMobil playbook to break the union in Indiana? In this episode of America's Work Force Union Podcast, we dive into the heart of the labor struggle at the BP Whiting refinery. USW Local 7-1 President Eric Schultz joins us to pull back the curtain on the lockout of over 800 union members at the nation's largest inland refinery. Schultz details how BP transitioned from "surface bargaining" to a full-scale lockout, hiring out-of-state replacement workers at a staggering $127 per hour while running the 100-year-old facility at dangerously low capacity. We discuss: The Exxon Playbook: How BP's lead negotiator is using tactics honed during the infamous Beaumont lockout. The AI Threat: Why BP is demanding workers waive bargaining rights over Artificial Intelligence and employee tracking. Safety Risks: The terrifying reality of operating a century-old refinery with undertrained personnel. Community Solidarity: How the town of Whiting is rallying to support the picket lines.

No one shows up to work expecting to make history, but today's story shows how one small, irreversible decision created the one of the worst days at work in US History. If that “fork in the road” moment had played out in any other way, today's episode would mostly just be me chatting up Texans and offering up some gardening tips.On today's episode: you will find out why parts of Texas smell like money, and why that money smells unbreathably pungent and caustic; we will explore how there can come a point where calling something loud loses all meaning, and then your skin blows off; and we will learn about a disaster so catastrophic, that people who said “well, I'm glad that's all over with” were treated to an encore.And because you are listening on Patreon… you will hear about a river or two that defied convention by bursting into flames; you will learn about the time a German industrial site tried to fly into space because it's standard operating procedures director was actually a potted plant wearing a tie; and you will find out how British Petroleum basically became the Beatles of oil and gas disasters.They say everything's bigger in Texas, and I believe it. You will too, after you understand the scale of today's event and the resulting death toll. We'll spend our time in Texas City, and I do make a point in the episode that Texas is a fine place, but if you had to pick a part of visit, Texas City might not be it. It's certainly not for the faint of heart. Who would have thunk that the densest petrochemical infrastructure on Earth would make for a not-so-great picnic spot, but a great place to watch 4,000 pound ship anchors arc across the sky. It is my genuine pleasure to return here (hey Texas). We have a lot of listeners there, and I look forward to returning again in the future. In fact, if you're from the Lone Star State and have a favourite disaster in mind, please chime in. I'm sorry if I'm a little under the weather in this episode. I'm was a little under the weather while making it, so I apologize if I any ennui got in the pudding. If it helps, the next episode will be bloodless and cheerier, but bloodless in a way that might actually make you wish for blood. You'll just have to wait and see.–––––THANK YOU.

On the Energy News Beat Stand Up, we are covering 9 big stories, and they all have a huge impact on the markets, consumers, and investors. Goldman Sachs validated what we had been writing about, and we also brought up the other downstream products that look to be approaching a critical supply chain breaking point. In California, that is about 3 weeks, and in the EU, it is sooner. They use a lot more imported jet fuel and diesel. 1. Oil and Energy Market OutlookThe discussion centers on Goldman Sachs' "higher for longer" forecast, suggesting sustained elevated prices for oil, gas, diesel, jet fuel, and gasoline. A key concern is the supply shock in the global petrochemical feedstock market caused by disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, which could trigger demand destruction and potentially lead to a global recession.2. US Energy ExportsThe podcast highlights record-high US exports of crude oil, refined petroleum products, and petrochemical materials. There's emphasis on the strategic importance of "energy dominance" and energy security through maintaining strong export capabilities.3. California's Energy CrisisA significant portion addresses California's energy challenges, specifically:Refinery closures reducing local production capacityGrowing reliance on imports driving up fuel pricesCalls for federal intervention to resolve the situation4. Geothermal Energy DevelopmentThe discussion explores geothermal energy as a potential solution, with estimates of 150 GW of untapped geothermal capacity in the US. However, regulatory barriers and the need for government support are identified as key obstacles to development.5. Energy Sector Investment AnalysisThe podcast includes technical and fundamental analysis of energy stocks, examining companies like Crescent Energy and Baker Hughes, along with stock valuations and investment opportunities in the energy sector.1.Goldman Sachs: ‘Higher for Longer' Is the New Reality2.The Global PetroChemical Feedstocks Shock is Unfolding3.Demand Destruction is on the Horizon with a Billion-Barrel Hormuz Oil Shock About to Send Prices Up4.US Energy Exports Hit Records as Energy Markets Shift5.U.S. Gasoline Remains a Bargain Compared to Europe – and California6.Energy Security Starts at Home, and Your Energy Dominance Is Exhibited Through Your Exports – How is the U.S. Shipbuilding rolling out?7.Geothermal Breakthrough Looks to Break Open 150 Gigawatt Energy Revolution – If State and Federal Regulators Can Get Out of the Way8.Crescent Energy (CRGY) Valuation Post Earnings and Expectations9.Baker Hughes Q1 Revenue Beats Estimates by $260 Million as LNG Order SurgeCheck out the Energy News Beat SubStack https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/A shout-out to Steve Reese and the Reese Energy Consulting group for sponsoring the Podcast https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/.Data2 if you have any business systems, can you trust A?

Patrick opens the show with a powerful cold open featuring an election worker's disturbing testimony about fraud in the 2020 Michigan election, exposing how stolen elections lead to selected leaders who push destructive policies that crush everyday Americans. From skyrocketing energy costs in Michigan where electric bills could rise $2,000 per year under the state's aggressive wind and solar mandate to Marylanders now paying the highest electric bills in the nation, Patrick connects the dots: Democratic policies, willful ignorance, and special interests are deliberately taking more “meat off the bone” from working families while gaslighting the public.Refinery expert Mike Ariza joins the show to deliver a sobering warning about California's collapsing energy infrastructure. With refinery capacity down 35% since 2023 and growing reliance on foreign imports, Mike explains how policy-driven shutdowns are creating a fragile system that could lead to fuel shortages, economic collapse, and even national security risks. He breaks down the worst-case scenarios and calls for immediate federal intervention before it's too late.In the final block, Patrick highlights the escalating absurdity coming from the left: Rep. Terri Sewell asking RFK Jr. if he's ever “reparented a black child,” one-party Democratic rule in Colorado producing disastrous results, and Justice Clarence Thomas warning that progressivism is fundamentally incompatible with America's founding principles. From stolen elections to energy crises and cultural gaslighting, this episode makes one thing crystal clear the consequences of selected leadership are hitting Americans hard, and the time to push back is now.

In this episode, we speak with Bruce Fleming, CEO of Montana Renewables, the leading producer of sustainable aviation fuel in the United States. Rather than building a new SAF facility from the ground up, Montana Renewables converted a portion of an existing crude oil refinery in Great Falls, Montana to process feedstocks including used cooking oil, agricultural waste, and emerging crops into SAF, renewable diesel, and renewable hydrogen.Fleming discusses:The retrofit model: Why converting an existing crude oil refinery is a fundamentally different capital proposition from building a greenfield SAF plant.Feedstock agnosticism: Why the company is indifferent to which renewable feedstocks run through its system, including its claim to be the first producer to have made SAF from camelina, a cover crop that does not compete with food production and carries a very low carbon intensity score.The investment drought: Why private capital has effectively exited the SAF space, and the direct link between regulatory unpredictability and the absence of long-term investment. The book-and-claim efficiency case: Why separating the physical movement of SAF from its associated emissions certificate could save a dollar per gallon in logistics costs, and how a global book-and-claim system could accelerate SAF adoption.Fuelling small, not large: Why the immediate SAF opportunity lies in general aviation and regional operations rather than long-haul commercial carriers.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Adam Klauber, Chief Sustainability Officer at World Energy, who shares how the book-and-claim model has evolved from a concept to a practical mechanism for scaling corporate demand for SAF.
