It can take more than 15 years to permit and build a new mine in the United States - yet nearly every modern technology we rely on, from smartphones to fighter jets to AI data centers, depends on a steady supply of critical minerals.In this episode, Erik Torenberg is joined in the studio by Turner Caldwell, founder of Mariana Minerals, along with American Dynamism general partner Erin Price-Wright and partner Ryan McEntush.Turner spent nearly a decade at Tesla, working his way upstream from factory design to battery materials and mining. Now, he's building a new kind of mining and refining company - vertically integrated and software-first- designed to meet the demands of our industrial future.We get into why the industry is so broken, what it actually takes to turn rocks into usable materials, and how the U.S. can rebuild its capacity to mine, refine, and manufacture the things that matter most. Timecodes: 00:00 Introduction to Critical Minerals00:45 The Importance of Mining in Modern Technology00:58 Meet Turner Caldwell and Marianna Minerals03:02 The Mining and Refining Process05:10 Challenges in the Mining Industry07:11 Turner's Journey from Tesla to Marianna15:31 The Role of AI and ML in Mining22:00 Geopolitical and Talent Pool Dynamics23:46 Challenges in Junior Mining Exploration25:30 Mariana's Product and Approach25:47 Leveraging Technology in Mining and Construction28:29 Optimizing Refining Processes with AI37:31 The Importance of Critical Minerals41:18 Permitting and Regulatory Challenges46:08 Future Strategies and International Expansion46:53 Conclusion and Future Outlook Resources: Find Turner on X :https://x.com/tbc415Find Erin on X: https://x.com/espricewrightFind Ryan on X: https://x.com/rmcentush Stay Updated: Let us know what you think: https://ratethispodcast.com/a16zFind a16z on Twitter: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zSubscribe on your favorite podcast app: https://a16z.simplecast.com/Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Understanding Self-Advocacy as Communicating a Boundary | Articulating Your Needs & Defending SelfAs we follow-up from our video last week, we pivot and focus on the topic of self-advocacy.Many of us do not understand what it means to advocate for our rights, wants, needs and desires. This is mostly because the trail that was blazed on our behalf was done so well, we never really needed to think about it let alone make a stance.But the world is a constant ebb and flow, and as many of the "givens" fall under attack that translate in both private and public spheres. Refining your ability to advocate for yourself, has become more important now than ever.Do you have any questions?

Associate Energy Minister Shane Jones says we live in uncertain times and, because of that, we need to crank up the Marsden Point oil refinery again. I agree that we live in uncertain times, but I certainly don't agree that we should pour time and money into something which has had its day. Shane Jones isn't the only person talking about it though. The Prime Minister has said too that the Government is considering reopening Marsden Point as part of its plan to strengthen the country's fuel and energy security. Because, since it was closed in April 2022, we've been importing all our refined fuel. We've also been importing all the bitumen we need for roads as well since the refinery closed. Before then, 70% of the bitumen used in New Zealand for roads was produced at Marsden Point, with 30% imported. Now 100% is imported. But let's not forget some of the nonsense that gets trotted-out about the old refinery. Which, once you cut through and dismiss, shows just how crazy it would be to try and get it up and running again. First up: it wasn't the previous Labour government that shut it down – the Associate Energy Minister was trotting out that line again this morning. It was actually shut down by the private company which owned it back in 2022. The company was known as Refining NZ, these days it's known as Channel Infrastructure. I think the Government needs to drop this idea of looking into reopening it. Because if the people who know a thing-or-two about running a refinery think it's a stupid idea, then who am I going to listen to? The people who know what they're on about? Of course I am. We all should, including the Government. Because all this is, is another one of those desperado elements of the coalition agreement between National and NZ First. Shane Jones is from the north and he's just doing what any MP would do for their region. And, before he continues with all this bluster about geopolitical clouds casting doubt on our future fuel supply, he should listen to what Refinery NZ said a year after shutting down the refinery. They said it would cost billions to reinstate and take at least a couple of years to do it. So why would you? Especially, when you consider who might run the thing. Because if the private outfit that used to run it wanted out, I don't see anyone else putting their hand up to take over. What's more, generating electricity is the future. Refining oil isn't. Even one of the union people who fought against the closure thinks we'd be flogging a dead horse trying to reopen it. Justin Wallace is First Union's oil and gas co-ordinator and he's on record as saying that it would be unrealistic to expect the refinery to be cranked into action again. He has said that although the footprint of the refinery is still there, the company that shut it down dismantled its key components as soon as they were able, and 80-90% of the staff who had worked at the refinery have left. He says: “They've gone overseas, taken redundancy, or retired. Unless the Government is willing to tax more people to find more money to rebuild it, I think it's a pipe dream.” Can someone please pass that on to Shane Jones?

Refining the Frequency of Freedom – July 4, 2025Today's episode is not a celebration in the traditional sense—it's a reclamation.On a day often filled with noise, expectations, and performative displays of “freedom,” this is an offering for those who feel the ache of invisibility, the tension of dissonance, or the tenderness of being in a different rhythm.In this soul-led episode, I share what the messages my body has been sharing the last couple of days and what came through the field this morning:A message from my Guides that July 4th, 2025 is not a day of outer allegiance—but a moment of inner return.A day not to perform—but to attune.A day not to belong through invitation—but to remember that belonging is encoded in your Soul.If you are feeling:Heavy or nauseous in your bodyTender in your heartAlone or uninvitedOff rhythm with the world around youThis episode is a Light transmission for your Soulstream.You are not behind.You are not broken.You are being remembered by the Light you serve.✨ July 4th Light Transmission – Through the Oversoul stream of Sa'hariel"This is not a day of nationalism. It is a frequency checkpoint.""Let the illusions of freedom collapse. Let the internal allegiance to Light Truth rise.""You are not missing the party. You are the frequency shift the world doesn't yet know how to celebrate."

Dear friend,  This one is an emotional one.   So take care as you listen and you witness what comes up for you. This is also a story of triumph and deep love and collaboration. Going all in,  Dr. Angela

Are You Refining Your Backlog Enough (or Too Often)? - Mike CohnHi V. Lee,Ever felt like your backlog refinement meetings are either way too long or painfully unproductive? You're not alone.Backlog refinement can be a game-changer—or a time sink. The difference? How well you understand the purpose.So, let's get clear. Refinement is when a team and its product owner look at the top items on the product backlog to make sure each is sufficiently well understood and small enough to be brought into the next sprint.That means breaking down large items, adding detail, estimating effort, and generally getting your stories “ready” for the team to work on.Great refinement helps your team:Avoid surprises during sprint planningReduce rework due to misunderstood storiesDeliver value faster, with fewer blockerOnce per sprint works well for teams that like fewer meetings. Keep in mind that the meeting will be longer, though.Once per week can help avoid long, draining sessions—especially if your once-per-sprint meetings are creeping past two hours.What Is Product Backlog Refinement? How Often Should You Do It?Most teams will either do a refinement meeting once per sprint or once per week. What I don't recommend is going beyond that.I've worked with teams in the past that were running 2–3 refinement meetings per week, each an hour or more. Unless your backlog is in serious disarray or your product is unusually complex, that's overkill.And remember—refinement doesn't only happen in meetings. It's perfectly fine for a product owner and a few team members to huddle up outside the scheduled meeting to split a story or clarify details.Keep your refinement meetings focused, lightweight, and appropriately timed—and you'll spend more time delivering value instead of just talking about it. That's a great way to succeed with agile.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

We often find ourselves chasing external goals, believing that once we "get somewhere" or "achieve a certain goal," happiness will follow. However, this pursuit can lead to a constant state of chasing, often driven by an over-identification with the mind and ego. In this episode featuring Lee Purcell, we dive deep into the power of mindset. We explore what often holds us back and uncover the abundant opportunities that arise when we shift our perspective.  This conversation emphasizes that true change begins within, challenging the common belief that happiness and success are external destinations.  Join us as we discuss how to embrace the present, utilize our minds as tools rather than masters, and connect with our intuition for a more congruent and fulfilling life. Prepare to discover simple yet profound shifts that can lead to significant transformation.

In this case, the court considered this issue: Should challenges by small oil refineries seeking exemptions from the requirements of the Clean Air Act's Renewable Fuel Standard program be heard exclusively in the U-S Court of Appeals for the D-C Circuit because the agency's denial actions are “nationally applicable” or “based on a determination of nationwide scope or effect”?The case was decided on June 18, 2025.The Supreme Court held that EPA's denials of small refinery exemption petitions from renewable fuel requirements must be challenged in the D-C Circuit because they are locally applicable actions based on determinations of nationwide scope or effect. Justice Clarence Thomas authored the 7-2 majority opinion of the Court.The Clean Air Act establishes a tripartite venue system for reviewing EPA actions. “Nationally applicable” EPA actions must be challenged exclusively in the D-C Circuit, while “locally or regionally applicable” actions ordinarily belong in regional courts of appeals. However, locally or regionally applicable actions that are “based on a determination of nationwide scope or effect” must be reviewed in the D-C Circuit if EPA finds and publishes that such basis exists. To identify the relevant “action” for venue purposes, courts must look to the specific statutory authority EPA is exercising rather than how EPA packages its decisions. Each EPA denial of an individual refinery's exemption petition constitutes its own “action” because the Clean Air Act allows each small refinery to petition EPA separately and requires EPA to act on each petition. An action is “nationally applicable” if it applies on its face throughout the entire country; alternatively, it is “locally or regionally applicable” if it applies only to particular places. EPA's denial of a single refinery's exemption petition applies only to that specific refinery in a particular location, making such denials paradigmatically locally or regionally applicable actions.The “nationwide scope or effect” exception applies because EPA's statutory interpretation and economic theory formed the core basis for its denials. A “determination” refers to EPA's justifications for taking action, and determinations have nationwide “scope” if they apply throughout the country as a legal matter or nationwide “effect” if they apply as a practical matter. An EPA action is “based on” such a determination only if that determination lies at the core of the agency action and forms the primary explanation for EPA's decision—requiring more than but-for causation. EPA's interpretation of “disproportionate economic hardship” and its RIN passthrough theory constitute clear determinations of nationwide scope because they apply generically to all refineries regardless of location. These determinations formed the core basis for EPA's denials because EPA used them to reach a presumptive resolution to deny all petitions, then considered refinery-specific factors only to confirm it had no reason to depart from this presumptive disposition. Where EPA relies on determinations of nationwide scope or effect to reach a presumptive resolution, those determinations qualify as the primary driver of its decision, making EPA's confirmatory review of refinery-specific facts merely peripheral by comparison.Justice Neil Gorsuch authored a dissenting opinion, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts, arguing that the Clean Air Act's substantive provisions do not call for EPA to make determinations of nationwide scope or effect when acting on individual small refinery hardship petitions, and that the majority's new test will make simple venue questions unnecessarily difficult and expensive to resolve.The opinion is presented here in its entirety, but with citations omitted.

When we fall into sin, God is at work in our lives to remove that from us. Today, as we study Jeremiah 9, we'll learn about God's work in the children of Israel, even as they rebelled against Him. Join us! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    Have you ever been frustrated or disappointed with God's people? What did you do about it? Did you bring that matter to God and leave it with Him? Why or why not.  2.    It is clear from verse 1, that Jeremiah is not pleased with the people of God. How does he characterize his despair?  3.    There may even be times when we want to leave our problems behind. How does Jeremiah want to leave in verse 2? What reasons does he give at the end of the verse for his desire to leave? 4.    Verses 3 to 6 return to the familiar theme of recounting the sins of the people. What are some of the sins listed in these verses? How do they reflect the kind of society that the people had devolved to? Was this the kind of society that was originally envisioned when God first called Abraham to establish a nation devoted to the Lord?  5.    What is the refining work that God spoke of in verse 7? How will this purify His people?  6.    What additional sins are presented in verse 8? What is the Lord's response to these sins in verse 9? Why is it important for us to know that the Lord will not leave sin unpunished? If we don't see such punishment in this world, why can we trust that all sin will be dealt by God in eternity?  7.    What kind of judgment will befall the land in verses 10 & 11?  8.    In verse 12, why does the Lord look for wise people to recognize what God is doing? If there is no one to recognize the reasons for their turmoil, what might the people think is the cause of their maladies?  9.    What further judgment and punishment will the people receive in verses 13 to 16? Does the degree of judgment startle you? How does Deuteronomy 28-29 help us understand why the people would face this kind of judgment? As New Covenant believers, will we face this kind of judgment for our sin? Why not?  10.    What kind of mourning is spoken of in verses 17 to 19? If the parents had taught their children to obey the Lord, would they have to teach them, in verse 20, to mourn? Why not?  11.    Verses 23 & 24 are well-known verses that summarize the kind of life that God calls His people to pursue. Why don't you write these verses out in your own words.  12.    Why does God call “wise people” to not boast in their own wisdom, in verse 23? Why do people often think that their wisdom is particularly wise? What does it mean to not boast in our own wisdom any longer? Where should our wisdom come from? How might you not look to your own wisdom, but instead look to God's wisdom?  13.    What does it mean to know and understand God, in verse 24? Are you a person who knows God? How is God's refining work in your life helping you to know Him and His wisdom and His ways more in your life?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon!

Time for another European flavoured Hackaday Podcast this week, as Elliot Williams is joined by Jenny List, two writers sweltering in the humidity of a Central European summer. Both of our fans and air conditioners made enough noise to be picked up on the microphone when they were turned on, so we're suffering for your entertainment. The big Hackaday news stories of the week are twofold, firstly a cat-themed set of winners for the 2025 Pet Hacks contest, and then the announcement of a fresh competition: the 2025 Hackaday One Hertz Challenge. Get your once-a-second projects ready! This week gave us a nice pile of interesting hacks, including some next-level work growing and machining the crystal for a home-made Pockels cell light valve, an pcoming technique for glass 3D prints, and enough vulnerabilities to make any Nissan Leaf owner nervous. We note that mechanical 7-segment displays are an arena showing excellent hacks, and we're here for it. Meanwhile among the quick hacks a filament made of PLA with a PETG core caught Elliot's eye, while Jenny was impressed with a beautifully-made paper tape punch. Finally in the can't miss section, The latest in Dan Maloney's Mining and Refining series looks at drilling and blasting. Such an explosive piece should come last, but wait! There's more! Al Williams gives us a potted history of satellite phones, and explains why you don't carry an Iridium in your pocket.

On June 18, 2025, the Supreme Court released its decisions for two circuit splits arising under the Clean Air Act (CAA) provision regarding judicial venue: EPA v. Calumet Shreveport Refining, L.L.C. (23-1229), and Oklahoma v. EPA (23-1067). Decided 7-2 and 8-0, respectively, the outcome of these cases hinged on the Court’s interpretation of the CAA’s unique venue provision, 42 U.S.C. § 7607(b)(1). The CAA states that challenges to “nationally applicable” actions may be filed only in the D.C. Circuit. 42 U.S.C. § 7607(b)(1). Conversely, challenges to CAA actions that are “locally or regionally applicable” may generally be filed only in the appropriate circuit court for the region. Id. But there is an exception: actions that are “based on a determination of nationwide scope or effect” must be filed in the D.C. Circuit “if in taking such action the Administrator finds and publishes that such action is based on such a determination.” Id.In Calumet, the Court ruled 7-2 that the “EPA’s denials of small refinery exemption petitions are locally or regionally applicable actions that fall within the “nationwide scope or effect” exception, requiring venue in the D.C. Circuit.” Similarly, in Oklahoma, the Court ruled 8-0 that “EPA’s disapprovals of the Oklahoma and Utah state implementation plans are locally or regionally applicable actions reviewable in a regional court of appeals.” Tune in as Jimmy Conde and Garrett Kral offer a breakdown of these decisions.Featuring:James Conde, Partner, Boyden Gray PLLCModerator: Garrett Kral, Administrative and Environmental Law Attorney--To register, click the link above.

Working 5 part-time jobs, while married and in school full-time was the straw that broke the camel's back. That is, the back of today's Success is Subjective guest, Cam Sherman. While Cam is now a certified mental health counselor and the executive director of NeuroDev, he had to overcome tremendous mental hurdles of self-doubt and acceptance in order to get to this point. He shares with listeners how living a life almost entirely in submission to doing the things he felt he “should” be doing, led him to a state of total burnout. With tremendous personal growth and an undeniable change of perspective on self, career, goals and life, Cam explains how he was able to thrive in his now-career not through trying to fix people and problems, but by helping them focus on experiences and perspective development. Cam is a deep well of wisdom and compassion, and this message is sure to speak to the hearts and minds of any who feel they are stumbling along their own path, not sure of who they are or what they want. Cam's Resources:NeuroDevcam@neurodevmentoring.comConnect with Joanna Lilley  Therapeutic Consulting AssociationLilley Consulting WebsiteLilley Consulting on Facebook Lilley Consulting on YouTubeEmail joanna@lilleyconsulting.com#TherapeuticConsulting #LilleyConsulting #Successful #YoungAdults #TherapeuticPrograms #Therapy #MentalHealthMatters #Podcast #PodcastCommunity #StudentMentalHealth #TheJourney #SuccessIsSubjectivePodcast #TheUnpavedRoad #PFCAudioVideo #SelfEsteem #ParentingAdvice #ParentingTeens #HighschoolGraduation #CollegeBound #ADHD #CollegeLife #NeuroDev

CLARITY FOR COACHING & MARKETING- Ever wonder what the difference is between a coaching niche and a coaching method? This episode breaks down the difference between who you serve and how you help them get results. I'll walk you through how your niche functions as a marketing invitation, and how your method delivers the transformation. If you're a coach trying to find clarity in your business, this is your blueprint. Key Takeaways: Your niche is about who you help and what problem you solve - your coaching method is how you get them results. A clear niche helps people self-identify and say, “That's for me.” Your coaching method should reflect your values, story, and the transformation your client desires. Listener Challenge: Think on your answers to these questions- Who do I feel most called to serve, and what problem are they trying to solve? What process naturally flows from me when I help someone through this? Am I trying to sell my process or meet a person where they are? Refining your niche and method can unlock your confidence, your content, and your client results. Grab the Niche Clarity Course!

No doubt you were hired to sell insurance. But did your agency leadership make you FIRST prove that you can prospect to set appointments? I would suspect probably not. And, that's why so many insurance producers fail and don't make it -- or at least why they don't make enough money. They are good at relationship building and closing business, but they just can't set enough appointments. In this throwback episode of the Millionaire Insurance Producer podcast, host ⁠Charles Specht⁠ will talk about what you need to start saying in order to set more new business appointments with your prospects. After all, prospecting is a numbers-game but selling insurance is a relationship-game. Key Topics: The dual careers in insurance: prospecting versus selling insurance. Why poor prospecting skills often lead to failure and how to fix them. The importance of a defined process for setting appointments. Overcoming objections like gatekeepers and timing issues. Crafting simple, relatable messaging to connect with prospects. Balancing numbers in prospecting with relationships in selling insurance. Refining prospecting skills or outsourcing to avoid stagnation. Reach out to  ⁠Charles Specht⁠ Visit: ⁠Permission Network⁠ Produced by ⁠PodSquad.fm

Are We Lovers or Prostitutes? The Refiner's Fire & The True Bride of Christ | KIB 485 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing

As we step into a summer of refinement here at Enneagram and Marriage, what better time to focus on creating homes that truly work for our families? In this insightful episode, interior design and home organization expert and author Whitney English, Type 4 (4-9 pairing) shares her room-by-room approach to creating spaces that are both beautiful and functional. Whitney believes that anyone can live a beautiful life, that "if you're real you can't be ugly," and that everyone is creative—some of us have just forgotten. As a successful entrepreneur who's been featured in O Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and on the Today Show, Whitney brings both design expertise and real-life family wisdom to the conversation. Discover how to assess each room in your home for what it truly needs—from the practical (garbage cans and scissors in the right places) to the aesthetic touches that make you actually want to spend time there. Whitney also opens up about her curiosity around her Enneagram perspective and how understanding her personality has helped her create organized systems without becoming harsh or demanding with her family, especially as she considers family of origin overlays many of us bring. Learn why the aesthetic of your home matters more than you think, how to balance beauty with functionality on any budget, and practical strategies for couples to create spaces that support both their relationship and family life. Whether you're naturally organized or struggle with clutter, Whitney's gentle wisdom will help you see your home as a place of intentional living rather than perfectionist pressure. Watch on YouTube!

She has boot-strapped two businesses to seven figures, has a degree in interior design, studied management at Parsons in New York City, and has had her work featured in O magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and on the Today Show (twice).
