Water is becoming one of the most valuable resources of our time, yet the industry remains outdated, centralized, and struggling to meet growing global demands.

Water-as-a-service is a game-changer: This model eliminates the need for businesses to invest in expensive equipment, making water treatment more accessible and affordable. It also creates a recurring revenue stream for investors. Investing in water is a smart move: The water industry is ripe for disruption, offering a unique investment opportunity with potential for high returns and positive environmental impact. Multiple investment options exist: OriginClear offers both crowdfunding (Reg A+) and accredited investor opportunities, making it accessible to a wide range of investors. Water stablecoins are on the horizon: This innovative financial instrument could further revolutionize the water industry by creating a more stable and transparent market.

Can water become an investable asset? How is decentralized water treatment reshaping the way industries and communities manage their most vital resource? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Riggs Eckelberry, CEO of Water on Demand, to explore the groundbreaking technology and financial innovation behind this transformative company. Riggs shares how Water on Demand is revolutionizing the water industry by decentralizing treatment systems. Instead of relying on overburdened municipal systems, industries can now treat and recycle water on-site, reducing costs, achieving regulatory independence, and advancing sustainability efforts. At the heart of this innovation are modular, prefabricated systems that can be operational in just one day, representing a shift toward adaptable, climate-resilient infrastructure. We also dive into the financial technology underpinning Water on Demand. Riggs explains how businesses can adopt water treatment systems without upfront capital investment, thanks to a pay-per-gallon model that removes financial barriers. For investors, this model opens opportunities for equity and generational royalties, with future plans to tokenize water assets ($H2O), creating a more liquid and tradable market. Beyond technology and finance, we discuss the social impact of decentralized water solutions. By alleviating industrial demands on municipal systems, residential users benefit from improved access and lower water rates, with significant implications for low-income communities. Riggs highlights how scaling industrial water recycling to just 15% could effectively double the world's freshwater supply, offering a path toward social equity and climate resilience. How can technology and finance transform water into a sustainable, investable resource? What role will decentralized systems play in addressing the challenges of climate change? Tune in to this insightful conversation with Riggs Eckelberry and join the discussion by sharing your thoughts!

Subscribe at https://aidaily.us --- In this episode, Chris interviews Riggs Eckelberry, a 17-year "overnight success" with a unique career that spans from ship captain to tech CEO. Riggs discusses his company's fascinating pivot from algae-based fuel production to wastewater treatment using electrolysis technology. When oil prices plummeted, the company adapted, turning its focus to extracting solids from wastewater—a challenging transition due to the water industry's resistance to change. Riggs highlights the game-changing concept of decentralized water treatment, targeting mobile home parks, housing developments, and businesses that are disconnected from municipal infrastructure. Instead of relying on slow-moving centralized water utilities, Riggs's company provides on-site solutions. What's even more impressive? Their innovative "water as a service" model allows customers to use the equipment for free, only paying per gallon of treated water. Looking ahead, Riggs predicts that decentralized, privately financed water treatment systems will become the norm over the next decade as water infrastructure continues to degrade and scarcity worsens. His company's mission is to be ready before major water crises emerge, turning a critical necessity into a highly profitable, scalable business. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/support

Hi everyone.We all know that water is vital for all of us. But did you realize there are huge opportunities out there for those who, among other things, can help recycle water or remove the waste from it?? My guest expert, Riggs Eckelberry, discusses these opportunities and much more on this episode. On the episode Riggs speaks about such things as (1) the challenges our present water infrastructure faces both in the U.S. and around the globe, (2) the "perfect storm" that's driving these challenges, and (3) who it is, by far, that demands the most water, and why that's "where the money is." Hint: This one may surprise you! Riggs then explains how the use of water technology, or "aquatech," can help address some of the challenges he identifies. He sheds light on a wide array of opportunities that anyone from a job seeker to an entrepreneur to an investor can seize upon in tackling issues like water treatment and water recycling. Finally, Riggs provides tips and resources that will help you begin to capitalize on the many opportunities this relatively new world of water technology offers. Now a little bit about Riggs.

Learning through apprenticeship can yield significant benefits. Consider the illustration of initiating an Amazon business. It's crucial not to hastily dive in and commence placing orders from China, as this can lead to predicaments. Numerous instances of such missteps have been recounted. There are essentially two prudent approaches: acquiring knowledge from a mentor or commencing on a modest scale. For instance, initiating with a minor venture like ordering a few Frisbees allows for hands-on learning without substantial risk. This represents the first approach. The second approach, as previously indicated, involves developing a clear funding strategy for the endeavor. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-inventive-journey/message

Riggs Eckelberry discusses all the problems related to water today (e.g. freshwater shortage, soaring costs, unsafe public systems, failing infrastructure). The government has stopped investing in water infrastructure and is only maintaining the systems built many decades ago. He describes the decentralized modular water-on-demand solutions OriginClear is providing to mitigate water problems. It also allows the average person to invest in water. Water is now coming out of government monopoly and becoming a private activity. There is no worldwide water market or economy, but he is involved in the eventual tokenization of water via stablecoins.

Water makes up 60% of the human body and we can't go more than 3 days without it. It's essential for life, yet how we access, process and filter water is based on old (and aging) infrastructure.

Today's episode features Riggs Eckelberry, the CEO of Origin Clear. Riggs grew up the son of an international businessman. He also had a natural draw towards making the world a better place and joined a Non-profit right out of high school. Then in the early 80s, he followed his passion for technology and started his very own tech company in New York. Riggs eventually sold that to one of his sales reps but didn't let that stop his business journey. After some high-level executive positions, he eventually became a CEO in the mid-2000s for what would become a major disruptor in the water industry. This company, which Riggs is still the CEO of today, is called Origin Clear. Today, there is a growing need for water independence as central infrastructure fails and populations migrate to secondary cities. Origin Clear answers that call with their Water On Demand initiative which allows everyday investors to invest directly in productive water projects, thereby enabling businesses and communities to pay for only the water they use with no upfront capital required. End-users simply sign a long-term service contract, with regional water companies providing expert support. Innovative OriginClear modular systems are licensed to builders to standardize the fleet, leaving zero “new technology” risk as only proven technologies, systems, and methods are implemented.
