On the campaign trail, President Trump promised to declassify the 9/11 files; on September 11, 2001, he told New York television the World Trade Center was an “unbelievably powerful” structure and said he could not imagine an aircraft alone penetrating its exterior steel, even questioning whether additional explosions had occurred. Twenty-five years later, Brad Wozny revisits the lives lost, the heroism he witnessed at Ground Zero, his extraordinary journey 18 stories beneath the Pentagon, the Patriot Act and War on Terror that followed, and the unanswered questions still driving Americans to demand full disclosure, truth and justice...on a day Brad also marks as Christ's birthday. .

Cet été et jusqu'à mi septembre 2026, Connecting Leaders met à l'honneur une sélection d'épisodes BEST OFF : une sélection de conversations pour prendre du recul, questionner votre manière de diriger et nourrir une vision plus engagée du leadership. Bonne écoute !Dans cet épisode de Connecting Leaders, je reçois Rebecca Fischer‑Bensoussan, cofondatrice de YOLO (live care / soutien organisationnel du quotidien), ex‑finance (Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs) et mère de trois enfants.Ici, on ne parle pas “parentalité en général” : Rebecca partage des scènes très concrètes de sa trajectoire - de la PMA vécue en silence (ordi à l'hôpital à 6h, injections au bureau) jusqu'au déclic Covid (3 enfants dont un bébé + 60 personnes à manager) où la charge invisible devient ingérable.Elle explique pourquoi les femmes ne manquent pas d'ambition, mais de conditions - et pourquoi la parentalité (et l'aidance) est un sujet business : rétention, performance, engagement, RPS.On parle notamment :◾️ Du “Woman Empowerment” en finance : oser plus tôt, se vendre, ne pas attendre d'avoir coché 10 cases◾️ De la double exigence : performer comme si on n'avait pas de vie perso… et gérer la vie perso comme si on n'avait pas de carrière◾️ Du retour de congé maternité comme nouvelle prise de poste (et ce que les entreprises ratent)◾️ De l'aidance (souvent non déclarée) et de ce qu'elle coûte en bande passante◾️ De YOLO : un “double organisationnel” humain, confidentiel, et piloté par des KPI d'impact (temps retrouvé, engagement)Un épisode concret et singulier pour les dirigeants, managers et RH qui veulent concilier performance durable et réalités de vie - sans injonctions.Retrouve Rebecca Fischer‑Bensoussan sur LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-fischer-bensoussan/

Le passeport de prévention est un outil numérique encore méconnu des employeurs, pourtant destiné à devenir incontournable dans le pilotage RH de la formation sécurité au travail. Quelles formations sont concernées ? Qui doit les déclarer, et dans quels délais ? Un échange concret sur un dispositif qui transforme la prévention en véritable outil de pilotage. Pour en parler, Sabrina Boulanger, chef de projet Prévention et Services chez Harmonie Mutuelle et pilote de l'organisme de formation IPS, partage son expertise.

Pour le 1er épisode de cette saison, je vous présente un témoignage avec lequel on comprend pourquoi il faut travailler les compétences psychosociales.Nancy a été placée très jeune en famille d'accueil.Je vous mets un peu de contexte : à cette époque là, le système de protection de l'enfance entretenait une vision particulière sur les liens affectifs. Les familles d'accueil étaient encouragées à garder une distance émotionnelle avec les enfants placés chez eux pour ne pas prendre la place des parents biologiques. Nancy a donc reçu de l'affection  travers ce filtre institutionnel. A l'adolescence, Nancy a besoin d'air et fugue. Elle commence une autre vie avec ses amis de la rue qui devienne sa famille de substitution. Ici Nancy crée ce dont elle a extrêmement besoin !! des liens, des émotions, sa vie. Malgré tout, elle se dirige peu à peu vers les consommations qui lui permettent d'apaiser son cerveau ! Aujourd'hui Nancy fait un milliard de choses concrètes pour donner un coup de main aux personnes qui passeraient par le même chemin, on en parle ici avec Nancy et sur ses réseaux.Je vous laisse découvrir cet épisode fort grâce auquel on comprend à quel point les enfants s'adaptent à ce qu'ils vivent, entendent, ressentent, d'où l'importance de travailler les CPS ! J'insiste parce que je trouve ces apprentissages incontournables aujourd'hui et notamment pour, au moins retarder les expérimentations de substances, voir les tenir à distance Voici ici les liens pour retrouver Nancy Face book : https://www.facebook.com/nancy.maniol?locale=fr_FRSon groupe face book, "En joie sans addictions" : https://www.facebook.com/groups/1868055160240645?locale=fr_FRinsta : https://www.instagram.com/en_joie_sans_addiction/ Son site internet : https://www.nancy-maniol.fr/  Bonne écoute !   : )

Calculate exactly what you should be charging with our Revenue Per Session (RPS) Calculator, linked below.Don't set your prices by copying the gym down the street (and maybe knocking off $10).Instead, there's a data-backed way to do it, using real numbers from thousands of gyms and one metric that tells you if your price is pulling its weight: revenue per session (RPS).In this episode of "Run a Profitable Gym,” Two-Brain CEO John Franklin explains what revenue per session (RPS) is and why $200 is a healthy target to aim for. He walks through the math for calculating your session rate and RPS and shows two different ways to hit the $200 RPS benchmark—raising your prices or increasing class attendance.Pulling data from Two-Brain's “State of the Industry” report (metrics from over 7,000 gyms), John analyzes large group and small group/semi-private models side by side, comparing lead volume, close rates, pricing and membership usage. Listen to learn how to set data-backed prices that let you pay coaches well and run a more profitable gym.

Semi-private training is one of the most talked about revenue plays in the fitness industry, but there's rarely a clear roadmap for adding it to an already packed group training schedule.In this episode of “Run a Profitable Gym,” John Franklin sits down with Jamie Warren, CEO of Iron Tribe Fitness, who took his gyms from nearly 100% group training revenue to a 50/50 split with small group—without blowing up his schedule or losing his culture in the process.Jamie explains how he made the change: identifying which coaches and clients to beta test with, protecting the schedule with a “do no harm” approach, and using client demand to decide which class slots to convert.He also shares real stats, including how average revenue per member nearly doubled and why net margins ended up roughly twice as high even with a similarly-sized member base.Tune in to learn how to build a semi-private, small group training program that adds real value for clients and for your business.➖➖➖How much revenue does your gym generate per session?

CATL unveiled its TENER Sodium energy storage system at Intersolar Europe in Munich, rated for 15,000 cycles to 70 percent state of health at room temperature. CATL frames that as a 25 to 30 year service life, and it takes only 34 modules to stand up a one gigawatt-hour site. That single specification changes how commercial storage professionals price, propose, and finance battery projects. Tim Montague and John Weaver dig into what it means, alongside Illinois growing from about 80 megawatts of solar a decade ago to over 6,000 megawatts today under the new CRGA law, SunBallast ballasted racking and what module stacking tells you about install labor, UK bids for 16 and 18 hour long-duration storage, perovskite modules reaching the residential market, El Niño shifting solar output across the US, and silver falling more than 50 percent from its 2026 peak.Episode HighlightsCATL sodium ion battery, 15,000 cycles: CATL launched its TENER Sodium system at Intersolar Europe in Munich. It is rated for 15,000 cycles to 70 percent state of health at 25 degrees C, which CATL frames as a 25 to 30 year service life, and just 34 modules build a 1 GWh site. (Energy Storage News)Sodium ion safety advantage: CATL claims its sodium cells cut expansion force by roughly 40 percent, generate about 35 percent less gas during thermal runaway, and hold peak surface temperatures far below comparable lithium ion. The fire and thermal-runaway story is a big part of why C&I buyers are paying attention to sodium. (Interesting Engineering)Sodium ion in the fast-response role: John flagged a detail from a CATL hybrid storage proposal where sodium was specified for the faster-response duty and lithium for the slower role. Worth keeping in context. This is one proposal's configuration, not a blanket claim that sodium beats lithium on response everywhere.GM and Peak Energy sodium ion partnership: General Motors is moving into stationary storage with Peak Energy, backed by a strategic investment from GM Ventures. GM will develop the sodium ion cell in its Michigan battery lab and keep exclusive manufacturing rights, while Peak integrates the cell into its passively cooled storage systems. Peak energized the first U.S. grid-scale sodium-ion system, 3.5 MWh, in Watkins, Colorado, in 2025. (Inside Climate News)Illinois energy transition, 80 MW to 6 GW: Tim attended a Nexamp event at the company's Chicago office, where IPA director Brian Granahan reported Illinois has grown from about 80 megawatts of solar a decade ago to over 6,000 megawatts energized today, with roughly 14.5 gigawatts of wind and solar developed under the state RPS (13 GW to date plus about 1.5 GW just approved). The engine is CRGA, the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act (SB 25, pronounced "Surge"), which runs its first utility-scale storage procurement in August, the opening tranche toward 3 GW by 2030 via additional 2027 and 2028 rounds. Residential VPP enrollment opens in mid-July, with ComEd and Ameren customers able to put home batteries into a short-term scheduled-dispatch pilot this summer. (PV Magazine)SunBallast racking and install labor: The hosts walk through SunBallast ballasted, no-penetration racking and get into the labor economics of module mounting, including what the way different manufacturers stack modules for shipping tells you about handling time on the job site.UK long-duration storage bids at 16 and 18 hours: Fresh procurement results out of Scotland and England show projects awarded at 16 and 18 hours of duration. John notes it is the first time he has seen bids at that scale and ties it to Scotland's wind-heavy generation profile. (Blue Sky)Trina Solar perovskite module hits residential market: Trina landed its first commercial order for a perovskite-silicon tandem module, going into New Zealand's premium residential market. The record-setting module is 907 watts at 29.2 percent efficiency, certified by TUV SUD. (Perovskite Info)El Niño and solar irradiance shifts: John walks through regional solar output swings across the US and globally. Rajasthan, India, home to some of the world's largest solar plants, is projected to run about 15 percent above its seasonal average this season. (PV Magazine)Silver prices fall more than 50 percent: Silver has dropped from its late-January 2026 record near 121 dollars to the upper 50s, more than half off the peak, on a stronger dollar and a hawkish Fed. It matters for PV because silver paste is a real line item, and World Silver Survey data shows solar's silver demand down about 19 percent. (TheStreet)This episode is essential for commercial solar installers, battery storage developers, community solar professionals, and clean energy policy watchers. The sodium ion story has direct and immediate implications for how professionals structure storage proposals, financial models, and customer conversations. Illinois developers will also want Tim's firsthand account of the CRGA storage procurement and the residential VPP pilot going live this summer.

In this episode of PING we're hearing about secure Internet Routing and its data distribution problem from Job Snijders who has been on PING before talking about his measurements in BGP and RPKI. We caught up at IETF125 in Shenzhen where Job presented to the SIDROPS working group on a new protocol he's been designing, called Erik. The Erik protocol was named in honour of Erik Bais who died in May 2024. Erik was a stalwart of the RIPE routing community. He was a chair of the Address policy working group, and active in the Dutch cloud community and the data center association. RPKI, the principal mechanism for determining secure inter domain routing intent (hence SIDR) depends on every relying party (or RP) validating the data collecting all the signed statements from all the publication points, worldwide. This is a time consuming process which inherently serialises behind the sequence of bytes fetched to form a given repository state at a publication point, and how the protocol works out whats changed since the last fetch by this user, and what to send. It's not very efficient and it's not scaling as well as we'd like as the amount of data rises, and the number of validators or RPs are fetching the data. Job's “Erik” protocol is designed to improve significantly on the two mechanisms defined at present, the RSYNC protocol, originally designed in the mid 1990s for filesystem synchronisation, and RRDP, a SIDR specific delta protocol which was designed to improve on rsync, using experience gained from the NRTM mechanism used to copy data in the RIR WHOIS databases. Job has been able to find why RPKI fetch is slow, and design a protocol using the Merkle Tree mechanism which can significantly improve the collection delay, as well as allow for intermediaries such as CDN providers to host services in the cloud.

With geopolitical shifts accelerating and signals pointing toward a major realignment in what can only be described as a new financial world order, Brad Wozny helps connect the dots on what is unfolding right now and whether its ultimate outcome will benefit all mankind.
