Episode SummaryRecorded at Natilus HQ in downtown San Diego, Neal sits down with Aleksey Matyushev, CEO and co-founder of Natilus, and Dr. Fabiano Piccinno, Global Head of Sustainability for Air Logistics at Kuehne+Nagel, for a roundtable on the real economics of decarbonizing flight. They get into why ordering a new plane today means a 12-year wait, why sustainable aviation fuel still costs nearly double Jet A, and how Natilus's blended wing body cuts cost and emissions at the same time - the rare case where the greener choice is also the less expensive one. Along the way: fuel-price shocks emptying transatlantic cabins, aviation's pull back toward defense, and a FedEx flight that hops the San Diego–Tijuana border in ten minutes. Plus the best plant-based tacos in Mexico City.Key Topics* The 12-year backlog to order a new aircraft* Why global aircraft production must nearly double* Sustainable aviation fuel at ~2x the cost of Jet A* Blended wing body: 30% less drag, ~50% lower cost* When sustainability and economics finally align* Fuel volatility emptying transatlantic flights* Aviation's pull toward defense and dual-use* Inside the Natilus × Kuehne+Nagel feasibility studyLinks & Resources* Natilus* Kona (Natilus regional freighter) * Kuehne+Nagel* ZeroAvia (hydrogen-electric partner)Connect on LinkedIn* Neal Bloom* Aleksey Matyushev* Fabiano Piccinno This is a public episode.

What if you could make music with anything around you? Fruit, water, human skin, or even the weight of objects on a kitchen scale? That's the question Playtronica has been answering for over a decade   This week on the podcast, Adam McHeffey sits down with co-founders Sasha Pas and Aglaya Nosova to explore how they built one of the most creative and community-driven companies in music technology today.   Playtronica makes accessible music instruments that turn everyday objects into musical interfaces, no music theory required. Their products, including Touchme, Biotron, Orbita, and their newest release Scales, have gone viral across social media for their playful, tactile approach to music making. But behind the viral moments is a deeply intentional philosophy: remove the barrier of "are you a musician?" and let curiosity do the rest.   In this conversation, we get into how Playtronica grew a loyal global community through creator partnerships and influencer strategy, what their installations with luxury brands like Hermès taught them about creativity and access, and why the form factor of an instrument matters far less than the feeling it creates. Sasha and Aglaya also share practical advice for music tech entrepreneurs looking to break through on social media and build communities that last.   The news Merck Mercuariadis on Hipgnosis, vindication, and his next move.

"I can't sell Harman because there's a dealer too close to me, but I'd donate a kidney and my firstborn to get it." In this episode, Tim sits down with Dane Harman, Karen Harman-Smeltz, and Peter Parsons to trace how a burn pot rooted in anthracite coal became the backbone of one of the hearth industry's most beloved pellet stoves—and what it takes to keep innovating decades later. Dane built Harman Stoves into a legend, Karen carried its values forward, and Peter built a pellet market from almost nothing on an island ninety miles out in the Atlantic. In this episode, Tim, Dane, Karen, and Peter cover: - Why Dane's 1991 Pellet Pro feeder still works today—and how a coal-pushing block evolved into a laser-cut slide plate that runs entirely on temperature. - The real difference between a private company's "right" decision and a public one's—and why a profitable model can still get killed to protect a stock price. - Whether tightening EPA regulations actually force better stoves or just strip the fun out of innovation—and where diminishing returns turn good intentions into expensive ones. Don't miss the moment Dane explains why deciding—truly deciding—pulls a whole team behind you, because this conversation about fire, family, and pressure-fueled innovation will change how you think about building anything worth keeping. —— Links from this episode: Big Enough: Building a Business that Scales with Your Lifestyle https://a.co/d/0e8WRuD7 Fire Time Podcast Q&A Episode http://itsfiretime.com/ask —— Watch this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nXru0bLymCQ Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fire-time-podcast/id1433804268 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4vHdzg48bE5qFf0KjMeMej?si=7b6cae3923d348f2 Read The Fire Time Magazine: https://www.itsfiretime.com/magazine Subscribe to The Fire Time Magazine: https://itsfiretime.com/subscribe Support The Fire Time Podcast financially: https://www.itsfiretime.com/join

This is episode two in a series on what it actually takes to build a business that scales. Last week, we tackled the most dangerous phrase in your business vocabulary - "it depends" - and why a custom-everything approach keeps you locked in as the product. This week, we take the next step: the identity shift from practitioner to architect.A practitioner delivers results. An architect designs the system that delivers results. If your calendar is maxed out and your success has started to feel like a trap, that distinction is everything.This episode walks you through what it means to build your business by design, starting with the one move that changes everything: packaging your expertise. Your methodology already exists. You're probably just not using it in a way that travels without you yet.In this episode:Why success as a practitioner eventually becomes a trapWhat it means to become the architect of your businessHow to package your expertise and make your methodology tangibleWhy leading with your IP changes the dynamic with your customersHow to deliver results without your time and attention being the bottleneckWhy this shift is an evolution, not a restartNext week: Most experts skip straight to building the solution without diagnosing the actual problem first. Next week I'm sharing the assessment that changes everything: the specific structural questions that reveal exactly where your business is stuck.

Welcome to Uptime Spotlight, shining light on wind energy’s brightest innovators. This is the progress powering tomorrow Allen Hall : David, welcome back to the program.  David King: Yeah, I’m so glad to be here. A lot’s happened since the last time I was on, so, uh, this is gonna be great.  Allen Hall : It’s been about a year. Mm-hmm. And last year we were at OM&S in Nashville, and you were talking about root fusion, and this is the insert fix uptower for the blade inserts, right? So we’re having a lot of blade bolt issues, and the inserts are starting to pull out or become loose, and the blades are moving around. A lot of our operators in the States are trying to solve that problem, and they don’t wanna remove the blades and bring anything down tower. They would like to fix it uptower. That’s where your solution came in. How’s that going?  David King: Yeah, so I mean, it, it’s really been a five-year journey for us. I mean, we’ve been doing this- I remember that, yeah … for a [00:01:00] very long time. You know, it started like any process does, with a problem statement. Sure. And we’ve been working through from problem statement, you know, going through process development, going through structural development, going through pilots. Uh, we did a, a huge pilot deployments about three years ago, where those were being monitored. Um, we’re now in a position where we’re in serial deployment, and that’s what’s really exciting. You know, we’re doing about 200 blades a year, uh, of, of serial deployment. We’ve, we’ve done that now, uh, we’re going into our second year of that. Nice. So we’re extremely excited by that. That comes with its own sets of challenges as you scale up. How do you maintain quality? We even touched a little bit on a few of these things last year. Um, but yeah, we’re really excited to be doing that. Uh, we’re trying to keep it, you know, again, process-driven. How do you simplify a process that allows you to scale up appropriately, train people appropriately? A- a- and that’s what we’re really excited about this year, is being able to bring this, uh, so that we’re not, um, you know, basically supply constrained, ’cause there is a lot of demand for this, and still able to maintain a very high level of, of quality as we, [00:02:00] we scale up. Allen Hall : Yeah, and that’s the key to all sort of repairs in the wind industry. You like to do it once and be done with the life of the turbine. Now, so you’re going uptower. You’re drilling some holes up along the blade, injecting those with a resin system, curing it, basically reinforcing what is already there That all makes sense to me. Engineering-wise, that makes sense to me. But a- again, it goes back to the technicians and the training and the deployment of it. Are you starting to train technicians, bring them in, show them how to use the, use the machines and, and get them out in the field so they are ready to go? It, it… ‘Cause it seems like you’re at that threshold now. David King: No, absolutely. So we, we believe in people first, right? Yeah. People at the end of the day make things happen. And so, you know, the best ways to do that is give people the right tools to be successful, and where that comes from is training. That’s a huge part of it. We have a, a certified training program that we run. Uh, it started out as an internal program we were running. It basically has five levels to it. Uh, we’ve now extended that to, uh, enabling, uh, you know, basically [00:03:00] preferred partners to be able to take part in that training, uh, to be able to utilize modular kits, pumps and equipment, to be able to, you know, go out and meet that demand that’s out there, but do so in a way that’s, uh, controlled. Yeah. And so really that comes back to that certified training program. And really, you know, level one is about a lot of your basic safety, procedural base type, uh, you know, making sure people are competent, uh, they’re not gonna get themselves hurt. Right. They’ve got the right personality traits about focus, uh, you know, detail focus and things like that. Yeah. Uh, level two to that program is, is really about, um, basically getting people to a stage in which they can be a, uh, team member. Uh, they’re able to be on a team and contribute to that team in an effective manner, be in the field.  Allen Hall : That’s really important. A lot of-  David King: Absolutely …  Allen Hall : companies miss that aspect of being a team member instead of an individual. Yeah, you have to work with other people. Yeah. It’s, it’s critical.  David King: It’s massively important. Personalities clash. You’ve got to be able to work through that sort of thing. And so that level one to level two is really kind of taking your green horn hat off and putting, “Okay, I, I, I can be on this team and I’m, I’m a, a contributing [00:04:00] member.” And then at level three, that’s your team leads. Those are people that are leading teams. They’re leaders. They’re up and coming. They’ve got a career path, career trajectory. Level four is our mentors. That’s the people that are going out there and that are basically qualified to now actually mentor other people in the field. Allen Hall : Yeah.  David King: And then your level five is train the trainer. How do you grow more trainers so that you’re not constrained on that training factor? And that, that’s kind of how we, we typically run training.  Allen Hall : Uh, and Gulf Wind has the ability to do that. I mean, I’ve been to your facilities, they’re impressive, and that’s one of the limitations for a lot of companies. They don’t have the facilities to train people, and they don’t have the resources you do. That opens up a lot of opportunities. Obviously, you’re in the composite repair business. You have crews out fixing wind turbine blades. Some of the more complex ones is what I hear. I mean, I hear it secondarily, but I assume that’s what’s happening. What are, are the areas that you get called in on to do composite repairs?  David King: We, we really do anything that stops somebody else. Okay. So we wanna be there when there’s a problem where you’re like, “I don’t know where to go next. Uh, this is a big [00:05:00] problem. We’re unsure. Maybe there’s a new technology at play. Maybe it’s, uh, a carbon spar cap. Maybe it’s something, uh…” You know, obviously the root stuff that’s very complicated. Sure. And, uh, it’s just gonna require a little bit more engineering. It’s gonna require a little bit more rigor, and that- that’s where we say, look, we, we can, whether it means testing something, verifying something, training somebody on a process, developing a process- Yeah or just doing something complicated, that’s where we excel.  Allen Hall : Well, that- that’s what I hear from the road is, uh, Gulf Winds here and I think, “Uh-oh. You must have a really serious problem because you’re calling in the experts to do the, the difficult things.” Carbon pultrusions, carbon fabric in, in blades today is such a massive problem because it’s not, it’s not fiberglass. It’s just a lot more to deal with, and some of the loading issues we’re finding and, boy, it’s just all over the place. They need Gulf Winds Technology to, to come on site to give them a hand. Now, a- as part of the growth of the business, and you guys have been growing. Every year I, I see they’re just… it’s just a little bit bigger, a little more [00:06:00] people. I walked on LinkedIn and hiring some engineers and some people to work over the summertime. That’s all great. What’s the structure look like now? How are you trying to organize yourself as a business?  David King: Yeah, so we really break down into three different structures. We have our service division, and that’s, um, putting people out there to solve problems in the field. As simple as it gets, right? It’s like you’ve got a problem, we’ve got the right people with the right solutions, and they’re gonna go deliver, uh, a result. Um, and then we’ve got an engineering division. That’s about developing problems. It also has a lot to do with IP. You know, things like root fusion, that’s a pat- protected technology. Sure. All of our technology, we do a lot of investments in, in, you know, patent protection and IP work, and so that sits inside that engineering division. Uh, it’s how we, we have the smarts of the company kinda sat in there. Uh, it also is what allows us to really get into some of these, uh, kinda juicy problem statements that are a little bit prickly maybe. Uh, and we love getting into those and solving them. Yeah. And then the third and final thing is the composite side of things, and that’s the, the manufacturing. That’s that 30,000 square [00:07:00] foot composite manufacturing facility where we wanna be the best in vacuum infusion. We wanna be the best in prepreg, the best in pultrusions, complex assemblies, and be trying to de- uh, just deliver really high-quality composites to the industry. Allen Hall : Yeah, and you have the equipment to do a lot of testing. And I think a, a lot of operators don’t realize what you have And the knowledge that’s sitting there, when I run into operators across the country that have complicated issues, particularly if they have carbon, I mean, oh my gosh, you, you need to be calling experts here. And if they have issues they haven’t really sussed out, they don’t know, they don’t understand the engineering that went into that blade, they need to be talking to you guys about Why is this blade designed the way it is? How should I approach this? Do I need to be turning my turbines off until I figure out a solution? A lot of times there’s not a lot of resources there because the, the designs are more complex than ever. But on the, on the same hand, I would say they’re not doing a lot of testing of their own materials. [00:08:00] David King: Yeah, and there’s a huge space for that. And which is crazy. Absolutely. Yeah. It’s, it’s, uh, it’s definitely a gap. It is. And we see it as a gap that needs to be filled. Yes. And so that’s where, you know, we, we say you’ve gotta give the engineers the tools to be successful. Sure. And so what are those tools? You know, that could be anything from what does an aerodynamicist need? They might need a metrology scanner. Right. So we do 70 million plus point scans of full blades. We’ve done now a full blade scan and, uh, I think we did it in about an hour, which was a, a new record of how quickly you could get 70 million points on a blade. Wow. And then that allowed- Uptower  Allen Hall : or  David King: downtower? It was downtower. Okay. Okay. It was outside in the field, but it was downtower. Okay. It’s still impressive. So that was a little, little, little bit easier than uptower. Sure. Maybe that’s next. Um- Yeah. But, um, no, and then so what can you do with that? Well, then you can go, uh, really analyze, you know, the performance of that blade. Maybe you can go do something in a wind tunnel with it. So coming back to that toolkit- Yep … an aerodynamicist needs a wind tunnel. We have aerodynamicists, so we have a wind tunnel. Then going on to, like, a structural engineer. What does a structural engineer need? Well, they need their FE tools. They need some good first principle approaches to, to structures. But they also need test equipment. Right. They need to be [00:09:00] able to develop and characterize materials both in static and fatigue. And so we’ve made a lot of investment in those sort of test equipment, uh, so that we can, we can put numbers to things. You know, I think the wind industry needs more data. Less speculation and more data-driven decisions, and the, where that starts is really building up that test base. And we, we believe in this thing called the testing pyramid, and what it is is, like, you’ve gotta characterize the material. That’s where you’re gonna have thousands of samples. Right. That’s your tensile, double lap shear testing, all the basics. Then you do your subcomponents. Add some geometry into that, that- Add some shape. Exactly. Maybe that’s hundreds of samples. And then you’re gonna go on top of that to, like, your full component. And look, we don’t have a blade test stand yet, but- Right … that’s kind of that, that space. And then the final top of that pyramid is go do it in the field, get results- Run it … and then run that back into your design cycles. And I think the more we can do that as an industry, the more successful we’re gonna be as an industry.  Allen Hall : Yeah, and I think a lot of operators don’t think they have to participate in that, and they’re sadly mistaken. And the fact that the industry has grown as fast as it has means [00:10:00] there’s some holes in some of the engineering that maybe they didn’t consider the, the site assessment properly or they didn’t understand some of the manufacturing variability. Now you own this product, you’re gonna have to do some of the homework that maybe the OEM should have done. It’s your site. You own it. And a lot of times I think, uh, as an owner/operator, they don’t realize there’s resources. Like, okay, well maybe do some mechanical testing. Maybe the repairs I had last summer aren’t working out the way that I think. Maybe I need to look at some materials  David King: and see if- And we want you to own your data. Well, that’s exactly it, right? That’s really what it comes down to is like you wanna own the data, know your blades, know your products, whether it’s, you know… I know you’re very, uh, you know, uh, specialized in lighting, really know your stuff. Everybody’s gotta take that same approach. Know your stuff- You need to know it … or go find the experts that know it- Right … and work with them. Yeah.  Allen Hall : Well, at, at this point in the industry’s growth, you realize who’s all percolated towards the top, right? You, you, you see the companies like Goldwind that have the expertise in-house and, and have established themselves as a [00:11:00] knowledge center, as a resource for the US and globally, and there’s only a couple of those spread around the world in that- We as an industry need to be utilizing you more to help us solve problems. Because if I don’t tell Gulf Wind what’s going on, Gulf Wind can’t help come to a solution.  David King: And we find that really, like, just the more you know, you start finding all sorts of new opportunities. Yeah. ‘Cause we almost learn what you don’t know, in a way. You kind of realize that, like, there’s so much more out there. Yeah. And that’s where it gets really exciting. That’s where it’s like you can get these novel solutions, people who take creative approaches. Um, and, and I really think that’s what’s gonna take this industry forward, especially now when, you know, there are some headwinds for wind. And all that means is we’ve gotta get sharper, and we’ve gotta be, uh, more agile. And I think it’s actually almost times like this that create some of the best, uh, behaviors in an industry to, uh, take it forward into the future really.  Allen Hall : Yeah. Wind’s not gonna go anywhere, but it’s being stressed a little bit. And in those stress points, we need to take the time to reflect and to make the industry [00:12:00] stronger. But in order to do that, we need to be relying upon the sources that we have. There are global sources. There are so many resources to touch into. I think you guys are, are doing amazing things. Obviously, being down in your facility, seeing the wind tunnel, just blown away by that. Seeing the mechanical testing, seeing the, the 3D printing of air foils and all that work you’re doing, plus the ability to scan blades, do large scale studies. I remember one was on CMS at the time, thinking, “All right. Somebody’s, somebody’s actually doing the right thing. There’s a study happening so we can understand what’s happening in CMS.” Like, those things need to happen as an industry to grow.  David King: Oh, absolutely. And I know you and I were at WOMA- Yes … quite recently. Yeah. And we heard about that LEP study. Yes. And what a prime example- … of people going out there, getting real life data. Yes. And then, uh, making it accessible so that people can make smart decisions, and again, drive the cost of energy down and make wind successful. It’s, it’s amazing.  Allen Hall : It, uh- Yeah. Yeah, yeah. But the transfer of knowledge is the key, right? And you guys are involved [00:13:00] in looking at some, what LEP will do to improve a blade, but also what leading edge damage will do to erode performance. Those are some of the things that a lot of operators don’t understand. Like, is that blade being in that damaged form even affecting my AEP? It depends on the turbine, I think, a lot of times. But you better be asking the question at least. Talk to somebody who knows.  David King: Yeah. ‘Cause it, it’s really interesting. I mean, you know, I think it so much drives back to that business case for the operator, and they all have their own approaches. And, and really- Yeah you know, most people are repairing LEP when it becomes structural. That’s the- That’s right … that’s the predominant approach. And, you know, I understand that approach very… You know, I, I get it from an operator’s point of view. Um, but yeah, there’s definitely, uh, other things you could do to try and make a, a data-based business decision. Um- Sure.  Allen Hall : Sure. Now, what are some of the cool new things that Gulf Wind is working on, that you haven’t announced to the world yet, but you’d like to announce? I know you’ve been working on things. I’ve seen all the white papers being published. There’s some things- Back behind the scenes, what’s new?  David King: Yeah. I mean, so, you know, you take something like Roof [00:14:00] Fusion, right? Right. Which is a long process to develop. So we, knowing that everything that, uh, you have as an idea is gonna take almost maybe three, four, five years to actually bring to market- Sure … we’re always starting on this constant cycle of development. Right. And so the things- You know  Allen Hall : it’s gonna be five years. David King: Exactly. Yeah. And so, you know, I mean, it’s like the patents on this stuff take three, four, five years to work out. Yeah. And so it- it’s a very important part of the entire process. Yeah. But to, to answer your question, we do have some exciting things both in the aero side, uh, side of the world. Uh, we have been doing a lot of development work around, uh, basically, uh, passive load shedding, so the ability for a turbine, or actually any structure, to be able to react to the wind in a passive manner. Uh, so you don’t need any sort of mechanicals. You don’t need anything, uh, that’s going to break in the field, and the structure itself is able to actually react to the load that’s coming onto it and change its aerodynamic, uh, profile and change its load that it’s experiencing. So you get these… Uh, that’s a very interesting new technology. Yes. Uh, it’s something that we’ve been working on for about three or four years now. It’s now, uh, [00:15:00] getting demonstrated, uh, which we’re very excited about. Uh, we also have some technologies, uh, around new connection types between metal and composites. So this is, uh, something that’s, uh, probably got a lot of, um, application in aerospace, but I think it’s also gonna find its way into wind. And this is just a new way of really trying to fix some of the problematic joints that we’ve been dealing with now for the last few years, but looking forward, not looking backward. Yeah. Right. Sure. Not being retroactive. Right. But how do we do that next generation of roof pushing design, for example? And we’ve got a really exciting method for that, that, uh, is been tested now. We have test results for it, and they look extremely good. Uh, we also are making some major CapEx investments this year into- Sure … new manufacturing equipment. So we have, um, some… I, I would say some, some pretty advanced, um, automation we’re trying to bring to composite manufacturing- Okay … around pre-preg carbon fibers and things like that, which is gonna be very, very exciting I think. Uh, I hope it finds its way into the wind industry. It’ll probably start in other industries. Sure. Maybe kind of this, uh, [00:16:00] subsea, you know, and, uh, and air, uh, space first- Sure … you know, around UAVs, ROVs- Sure … that sort of thing. But I think it’s also gonna have applications in wind, and we’re really, really excited about that. Well,  Allen Hall : that’s good because it, it does seem like wind is downstream of a lot of aerospace things ’cause it does, definitely costs money to develop those, and aerospace is a place where that can happen. However- If you work out all the kinks and you solve all the manufacturing issues, it is directly applicable to wind. David King: And it’s massive volume. The beautiful thing about wind is that the volume, when you get something right and you do it right, you get to deploy technology. Yeah. Yes. You, you get to take it off the shelf- Right … and put it in the world and make it happen, which is, there’s nothing more exciting as an engineer. Allen Hall : Well, I mean, in, in terms of blade manufacturing, how many times have we talked about automating that so we have less things like wrinkles and some ply issues, overlaps, those kind of things where automation would help, but we just haven’t really refined it enough to i- implement it at a large scale in a blade factory. David King: Exactly. And it’s always usually too bespoke, you know? It is. It’s like you solve the problem for the, the 40-meter blade, and now- Right … there’s a [00:17:00] 45-meter blade, and we need all new CapEx. Right. And then it doesn’t, uh, doesn’t scale well.  Allen Hall : That doesn’t scale at all. No. Right. So that’s why they haven’t done it, is because they know the next generation of blade is coming. It’s another 10 meters longer, and that’s not gonna fit in this building, and doesn’t make sense- We’re in trouble … to buy the equipment.  David King: Yeah, exactly.  Allen Hall : Right. So it, it, it’s a- Yeah … it’s a constant evolving industry. Now, I, I had looked at your load shedding patent application or patent. Maybe it came out as a patent. David King: Yep.  Allen Hall : Mm-hmm. Okay. I wanna understand that a little bit since I’m here talking to you now. The load shedding piece was because, uh, you’re in Louisiana, that’s where hurricanes- Come up … every once in a while, if people haven’t read the papers. But the load shedding technology makes sense because now you can deploy wind turbines in places that you otherwise may not do it because of the risk of typhoons, hurricanes, even tornadoes on some level, some odd wind situations. You wanna explain what that technology is? Yeah.  David King: Really what it’s doing is it’s trying to decouple the, uh, turbine’s ability to protect itself from its requirement to maintain power and maintain [00:18:00] control. So if you have something that relies on electrical hydraulics or anything like that- Yeah … it’s gonna be extremely susceptible to failing, uh, when- Yes there’s a grid outage or when you have a battery that fails or, you know, most airplanes require, like, dual redundancy or triple- Triple … triple redundancy because of that very reason, and we just can’t afford to do that in wind. No. And so the innovation then that gets required is you have to have something that’s passive, something where the structure itself has been designed in a way where the laminate is designed in a way where it’s going to not react progressively like a linear fashion as you apply load, right? It keeps bending and bending and bending. Right, right, right. But it’s gonna have quite a sudden reaction to a very particular load case. And so that’s what we’ve been able to do is-  Allen Hall : Okay …  David King: basically construct that laminate in a way where when it, the right load is applied, in this case, that’s the, the hurricane load or the extreme load- Right we can shed that load, uh, completely by the structure simply reacting to the load, and that’s very exciting for wind. It has a lot of other applications ’cause- Sure it does … basically allowing you to hinge composites. We now can- Right … with [00:19:00] composites almost in an origami fashion, hinge them any way we want, which is really, really exciting. Nice. And we’re excited to bring that now to other areas besides just wind and, and wind will be a key one as well.  Allen Hall : Sure it will. Yeah. Wow, okay. That’s cool. I mean, that’s why I follow Gulf Wind Technology on LinkedIn to see all the cool things that are coming out because, uh, if, if you’re thinking about- What’s new, what’s next. There’s probably three or four places, honestly, in the world that I rely upon, DTE being one, Fraunhofer being another, and then Gulf Wind Technology. Like, okay, let’s… So they tram for it here. I… Let’s, let’s see what’s going on this week. That’s amazing. And I, I know that as you guys get more experience out in the field and people will start to recognize the name, it’s just only gonna grow to something even bigger. So that, that’s fantastic. I know you, you spend a lot of time making  David King: this business go. We’re de- definitely very excited about it. Yeah. But with, with growth comes, you know, a, a discipline. Right. You have to be very disciplined. Yes. And so that’s something, you know, we’ve gotta be very focused on. Yeah. That’s where things like that certified training program are important. Yes. It’s where [00:20:00] how we patent things is very important. Yes. How we, uh, you know, kind of set up company structure is very important. So I know we touched on a few of those subjects today. Yeah. But those are really just about trying to be able to maintain quality as we grow. A- and that’s really important to our customers, it’s important to us, and it’s how we maintain the brand. Allen Hall : We gotta get back down to Louisiana. I’m really curious to see what’s happening inside the buildings and see where you’re at, because, uh, I know there’s great things happening there. And I really appreciate the time. Thank you for coming over to Australia. I thought your, your talks and your, your presentation and being on panels in Australia was really insightful to a lot of Australians, because you’re just bringing a different viewpoint into that marketplace. And, and that’s what Gulf Wind does. So I, I appreciate all that effort. And, uh, yeah, we should connect up this summer. Come down and check out what’s going on.  David King: Absolutely. If you’re willing to brave the heat- Oh, no. … you are always welcome. And our aim is that every time you come to that factory, hopefully it’s like a, a whole new world. We wanna surprise you with something new, because, uh, that’s the only way we can demonstrate progress.  Allen Hall : Oh, that’s a deal.  David King: So.  Allen Hall : Okay, great. Well, thank you,  David King: Dave. Great to see [00:21:00] you. Thanks  Allen Hall : for being on the  David King: podcast. Thank you very much.

On this episode of Talking Shop we are joined by Phil James, founder and Creative Director of the contemporary heritage clothing brand &SONS. Phil began his career behind the lens as a commercial advertising photographer, working with global brands to hone a distinct visual language. But in 2016, he decided to step out from behind the camera to build a brand of his own. Today, we're discussing what it means to approach the fashion industry as a self-taught outsider, and the reality of moving from a world where you control the final visual image to one dictated by physical supply chains. We also delve into how &SONS is navigating a tough trading environment with soaring production costs, how to resist the pressure to chase short-term trends, and the actual operational difference between managing a transactional customer base and fostering a true global community.

In this episode of ScaleUp Radio, Kevin Brent is joined by Maritsa, founder of The People Keeper, to explore one of the biggest challenges facing growing businesses: keeping great people. Maritsa shares how her business evolved from offering a single employee retention service into a comprehensive framework that helps companies with between 2 and 50 employees build the people foundations needed for sustainable growth. Together they discuss why staff turnover is rarely a recruitment problem, how founders can overcome the fear of delegation, and why strong people systems create the stability every growing business needs. In this episode: Why The People Keeper completely restructured its service offering to better support growing SMEs The Three-Legged Stool Framework for building a stable people foundation The hidden costs of employee turnover and why prevention is significantly cheaper than replacement How outdated processes and founder dependency create retention problems The role of leadership development in successful delegation Practical ways founders can overcome the fear of letting go How effective onboarding accelerates performance and retention Why retention is an outcome of good systems rather than a standalone objective The Three-Legged Stool Framework Maritsa explains that every business needs three critical foundations in place: 1. Legal and Operational Basics Contracts, policies, procedures and templates that provide clarity and consistency. 2. Day-to-Day Operations Effective hiring, onboarding, management capability and communication systems. 3. Future-Facing Strategy Aligning people plans with business objectives, whether that's growth, acquisition, succession or exit planning. When all three legs are working together, businesses create the stability that naturally improves retention. Case Study: Solving 100% Annual Staff Turnover One recruitment agency approached Maritsa with a serious challenge. Despite employing only four people, the business was experiencing 100% annual staff turnover. After investigating, three core issues emerged: Processes had not adapted to a fully remote working environment following Covid The founder was heavily involved in every decision, creating bottlenecks and dependency New hires were expected to learn through an overwhelming two-week virtual shadowing process Rather than focusing solely on recruitment, Maritsa addressed the underlying systems. A promising team member was developed into an Office Manager role, receiving training in leadership, performance management and conducting effective one-to-ones. The onboarding process was redesigned with clear success measures and structured milestones. The founder was supported in stepping back and delegating responsibility more effectively. The result? Staff turnover fell from 100% to 0% and has remained there for more than two years, saving the business an estimated £150,000 or more in replacement costs. Founder Delegation: The Real Barrier A key theme throughout the conversation is that delegation is rarely a capability issue. More often it is a psychological one. Many founders worry: What if someone makes a mistake? What if standards drop? What if customers are affected? Maritsa encourages founders to explore those fears openly. By asking, "What's the worst that could happen?" founders can identify realistic risks and put mitigation plans in place. The solution is not simply handing work over. It is about creating the conditions for success through training, authority, accountability and clarity. One Key Takeaway High turnover is usually a symptom, not the problem itself. When founders build strong systems, develop capable managers and create clear expectations, retention improves naturally. Great people stay where they can succeed.   Scaling up your business isn't easy, and can be a little daunting. Let ScaleUp Radio make it a little easier for you.

In this episode of Tech It to the Limit, pediatric ER physician and digital health veteran Dr. Adam Glasofer returns to the pod with a characteristically unfiltered take on the oversaturation of AI in healthcare. He argues that while AI tools are genuinely game changing for clinical workflows and point of care decision support, the current investment climate has created a dangerous incentive structure. Then, recorded live at VIVE in Los Angeles, Elliott sits down with Scott Arnold, EVP and Chief Digital and Innovation Officer, and Rachel Feinman, SVP of Innovation Ventures and Digital Solutions, from Tampa General Hospital for a candid conversation on operationalizing innovation. They reveal why most health systems say they want innovation but build only black holes for ideas, how TGH built actual on ramps from Idea HQ and innovation challenges to a Shark Tank event where frontline nurses pitch board members, and why "proceed until apprehended" has become their operating mantra. Tune in to hear why the future of healthcare may depend less on replacing humans and more on designing technology that helps humans think, decide, and care better.In this episode: [01:14] Welcoming Dr. Adam Glasofer[02:53] The oversaturation of AI in healthcare[05:17] Where AI actually belongs in clinical care[07:23] Lessons from CPOE and order set design[10:54] Will we ever license AI to practice medicine?[11:34] The irreplaceable human elements of clinical care[14:14] Ambient AI and the accountability paradox[15:45] The biggest fear in AI oversaturation[24:47] Sponsored skit: Kwor'm.ai[27:14] Introducing Scott Arnold and Rachel Feinman[30:04] Tampa General's innovation vision and culture[32:34] How frontline ideas reach the innovation portfolio[34:35] On-ramps for innovation: Idea HQ and Shark Tank events[36:46] From idea to scale: cycle times and the "advanced work" phase[40:06] Change management and winning hearts on the frontline[43:03] Inside the Palantir partnership[45:03] Real wins: sepsis detection, care traffic control, and the blood supply crisis[49:54] Advice for startups pitching health systems[56:30] Most overused word at VIVE 2025[58:13] Elliott's nuggets of wisdom[01:05:03] Episode wrap-upResources:Tech It To The Limit PodcastWebsite Apple PodcastDr. Adam Glasofer LinkedInScott Arnold LinkedIn Rachel Feinman LinkedIn Elliott WilsonLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewelliottwilson

'At 6,812 metres high, when I waved my white flag, I spontaneously cried, ‘Punjabi aa gye oye' (Punjabis have arrived),” says Sukhvir Kaur, also known as Sukhi Bal, a Punjabi woman who has summited Mount Ama Dablam. Known as the ‘Matterhorn of the Himalayas' for its pyramid-like peak and steep ridges, Ama Dablam is considered one of the world's most challenging climbs. Like the mountain she conquered, Sukhi too is tough and versatile. Originally from Chehal village in Punjab's Patiala district, she now works as a prison officer in Sydney and previously appeared in Punjabi films.

Computer vision implementations in manufacturing never advance beyond the pilot phase — not because the technology fails, but because deployment is treated as a software problem rather than an operational one. In this episode, Jeff Witt, Digital Transformation Leader at a Fortune 500 global leader in building materials and fiberglass composites, examines the architectural, organizational, and change management decisions that determine whether a vision AI initiative reaches production and scales. The conversation covers how to build a reusable data architecture for vision data, why shifting ownership from IT to business units accelerates deployment, and what a platform mindset — versus a point solution approach — looks like in a multi-site manufacturing environment. This episode is sponsored by Roboflow.

Most networking advice was built for men and tested on men. It tells you to work the room, collect contacts, and follow up fast. But research across four continents and fifteen years of longitudinal studies shows that women who network like men consistently underperform the women who don't. Networking strategist and two-time author J. Kelly Hoey shares the goods from the landmark study that launched her latest book, The Social Billionaire. Women who reach the top don't just stay plugged into information flows. They build a second, inner circle of like-minded women with diverse networks, and they use three high-impact strategies most women have never been taught: brokering, churn, and visibility. If you've been told to "just get out there and network" and it's never moved the needle for your business, this episode explains why, and gives you the research-backed formula that actually works.In this episode of the She Leads Podcast, Adrienne and Kelly unpack the central finding of her new book, The Social Billionaire: the women who get internships, land roles, and grow businesses past the million-dollar mark run two networks at once. One is the broader information flow everyone else is in. The other is a smaller, intentional inner circle of like-minded women with diverse networks who give real feedback, real introductions, and back-channel advice that moves careers and businesses forward.Adrienne and Kelly get into the three high-impact networking activities women consistently skip: brokering, churn, and visibility. They talk about why "I don't have time to network" usually means defaulting to transactional outreach, and why the kindest thing you can do for someone is to be specific about what you need.To build a strong, healthy business with longevity, you must build your network strategically. Kelly tells us why.Chapters:

We are joined by Program Manager in the Office of Diversity and Inclusion at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) Jen Torres, to explore what sustainable, system-wide implementation of restorative practices in higher education really looks like.   Jen brings a practitioner's lens to a challenge many institutions face: how to move from reactive, discipline-focused approaches toward proactive, relationship-centered campus communities. She walks us through SNHU's three-year restorative practices implementation process that brings theory to life through real-life examples. From using AI tools to audit communication for relational language to tracking real-time shifts in restorative practices approaches with students, these stories demonstrate how innovation and human-centered practice can coexist and thrive.  On the topic of the use of AI, Jen reminds us that technology can enhance efficiency, but it cannot replace human connection. In an era of eroding trust, restorative practices become essential to rebuilding and maintaining strong relationships.   Jen M. Torres serves as program manager, social justice advocate, and liberatory learning designer for SNHU's Office of Diversity and Inclusion. With over 16 years of experience across education, nonprofit, and corporate sectors, Jen founded SimplyLead, LLC, and specializes in antiracist practice, conflict transformation, restorative practices, and liberatory approaches to leadership and culture repair. Her work centers on dismantling systemic inequities while helping teams and institutions move through conflict with honesty, accountability, and care.

Alex Murdaugh has officially filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against former Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill—and legendary trial attorney Neil Rockind is breaking down exactly what this means for the future of this high-profile case.#AlexMurdaugh #BeckyHill #NeilRockind #KillerCrossExamination #JuryTampering #LegalAnalysis #TrueCrime #Lawsuit #MurdaughTrial #ConstitutionalRightsAbout This EpisodeFresh off the heels of the South Carolina Supreme Court's bombshell decision unanimously overturning Murdaugh's double murder convictions, Murdaugh is striking back. His defense team has launched a 17-page federal lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, accusing Becky Hill of deliberately violating his Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment rights to a fair trial before an impartial jury.In this episode of Killer Cross Examination, host Neil Rockind dives deep into the shocking details of the complaint. From allegations that Hill tampered with jurors to secure a quick guilty verdict to boost her own book sales, to the Supreme Court's blistering declaration that she placed her "fingers on the scales of justice," Neil dissects the unprecedented legal maneuvers at play.Neil breaks down the core elements of the lawsuit, including:The Allegations of Misconduct: How Hill allegedly instructed jurors not to be "fooled" or "confused" by the defense and held private, unrecorded conversations with the jury foreperson.The Motive: The shocking claim that Hill compromised a double murder trial for the "siren call of celebrity" and a desire to buy a lake house via book revenue.The $600,000 Damage Claim: Why Murdaugh is suing to recover the massive retirement funds spent on a trial corrupted by state misconduct.The Implication for the Retrial: What happens next now that state prosecutors plan to retry Murdaugh from square one.As a veteran defense attorney who fights daily against government overreach and misconduct, Neil Rockind provides the ultimate masterclass on why protecting constitutional trial rights matters—no matter who the defendant is.About Neil Rockind - Neil Rockind is a trial lawyer.

In this episode, Ginny Critcher talks with Ben French, leadership development consultant and business coach, about what it really takes to transition an organisation from founder-led to a more structured, process-driven way of working. Drawing on their shared experience working with a global football organisation, Ben and Ginny explore the tension between preserving the culture that made a company successful and introducing the processes needed to help it grow — or survive contraction. They discuss when organisations typically need to make this shift, why getting the calibration of process right matters as much as having process at all, and how documenting culture and policy are really the same thing. Topics covered include: Why organisations of around 10–30 people often hit a tipping point The challenge of adapting central frameworks to work across different countries and cultures How external consultants can help organisations ask the right questions — not just do the work The role of decision-making clarity in shaping culture How to communicate that policy is always a work in progress Ben also shares what he's been working on since, including a project with the British government focused on embedding new behaviours as different parts of the Foreign Office come together.

Most leaders think their biggest problem is hiring the right people. Bruce McLeod says the real problem is what happens after they arrive — and what quietly destroys them once they do.In this episode, Bruce shares the framework he developed after more than a decade watching rapid growth hollow out companies from the inside: burning out top talent, rewarding the wrong behaviors, and leaving entire teams operating without a shared understanding of what winning even looks like. If your company depends on one or two people to hold everything together, this conversation will challenge how you think about leadership, structure, and what it actually means to build something that lasts.TranscriptThe Healthy Compnay Framework

In this episode, we kick things off by examining the escalating regulatory battle over the proposed Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern mega-merger. Canadian National is urging federal regulators to reject the amended application, arguing that the filing still omits critical information needed to assess competitive impacts. CN criticizes the proposed Committed Gateway Pricing program as temporary and highly limited, excluding major traffic categories and applying to less than one percent of U.S. rail traffic. Next, we explore the auto logistics sector where Proficient Auto Logistics reported a brutal first quarter that sent its stock tumbling nearly nineteen percent. Extended automotive plant shutdowns, severe winter weather, and disrupted rail and sea transportation pipelines pushed the company's operating ratio to a staggering one hundred three point four percent. However, management remains optimistic that improved March trends and stronger seasonal factors will stabilize second-quarter performance. Finally, we cover the rapid expansion of autonomous trucking as Kodiak AI posted seventy-four percent quarter-over-quarter revenue growth and expanded its driverless fleet to twenty-eight trucks. The company deployed eight additional fully driverless trucks during the first quarter and accumulated more than twenty-three thousand five hundred cumulative hours of paid operations. Kodiak also secured one hundred million dollars in new financing and launched a partnership with Roehl Transport for regular Dallas-Houston freight lanes.

Turning Chaos into Systems: The 90-Day Growth Framework That Scales Any Business with Kathie Feng   Find Rocky Lalvani @ www.ProfitComesFirst.com  or email him at rocky@profitcomesfirst.com  Make more, work less video: https://youtu.be/    What does it actually take to build a marketing system that drives predictable, sustainable revenue? In this episode of The Profit Answer Man, Rocky Lalvani sits down with Kathie Feng, founder of Signal Growth and fractional CMO with over 13 years of experience leading growth for Fortune 500 brands including Constellation Brands (Corona and Modelo), Pave (an a16z-backed fintech unicorn), Discover, Capital One, and Shiseido. Kathie breaks down the frameworks, strategies, and hard truths that separate businesses that scale from businesses that stall.    In This Episode:  Why most small business owners jump to paid advertising before answering the most important question about their product and audience  What the "winning triangle" of product fit, market fit, and pricing fit really means and how to use it before spending a single dollar on ads  How to build a customer feedback loop that validates your assumptions and identifies your true target audience  Why Meta and Google campaigns fail for so many entrepreneurs and what the real problem usually is  How to structure a test and learn strategy that gives your campaigns the best possible chance of working  Why the first two seconds of a Meta ad are the most critical and how creative structure directly impacts algorithm performance  How to evaluate a marketing agency before you hire one and what questions to ask to separate a polished pitch from proven results  What benchmarks and KPIs you should be holding your agency accountable to from day one  The difference between closing high ticket offers of $7,000 and above versus lower ticket offers under $2,000 and why the sales process should look completely different  How the consumer decision journey has shifted away from a linear funnel and what that means for how you show up across channels  What AI is doing to the content landscape and how founders can use it as a growth tool without losing the authenticity that builds trust  What a 90 to 120 day revenue framework actually looks like and what milestones you should expect within that window    Key Takeaways:  Start with the winning triangle before you advertise.   Build a customer feedback loop early.   Your Meta and Google campaigns need a structured test and learn approach.   The first two seconds of your ad determine everything on Meta.   Hold your agency to real benchmarks from day one.   Run a pilot before committing to a full scope of work.   Match your sales process to your price point.   The consumer decision journey is no longer linear.   AI is a tool that amplifies capacity, not a replacement for strategy.   A 90 to 120 day framework should produce measurable results.     About Kathie Feng:  Kathie Feng is a founder and Growth Architect who helps businesses turn momentum into market dominance.   With more than 13 years of experience leading growth for global brands, Constellation Brands (Corona, Modelo), Pave (a16z-backed fintech unicorn), Discover/Capital One, and Shiseido, she brings enterprise-grade strategy to founder-led companies ready to scale with clarity and intention.  Through her company, Signal Growth, Kathie and her team, with combined experience of 5 decades, engineer predictable revenue by installing the same data-driven, AI-powered frameworks used by Fortune 500 and multinational brands.   Her work blends systems thinking, consumer psychology, and operational discipline, giving founders access to the rigorous, scalable infrastructure normally reserved for billion-dollar organizations.  Her multicultural background—having been to 6 continents, 42 countries, and speaking 5 languages, shapes her ability to decode human behavior, refine messaging across cultures, and unlock deeper emotional resonance in markets crowded with noise. She believes growth isn't luck; it's engineered. And the right system transforms both the business and the founder leading it.  Kathie speaks on:  • AI-powered growth systems  • Modern-day growth funnel architecture  • Founder psychology and decision-making  • Consumer-centric positioning, messaging & behavioral strategy  • Building 90-day revenue engines  • Scaling without chaos or burnout    Links:  Website: https://signalgrowth.webflow.io/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathiefeng/    Profit Blueprint Calculator I Profit Comes First: https://lp.profitcomesfirst.com/profitblueprintcalc-page    Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman  Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!  Free Copy of the Profit Blueprint Book: https://lp.profitcomesfirst.com/landing-page-page   Monthly Newsletter signup: https://lp.profitcomesfirst.com/newsletter-signup  Relay Bank (affiliate link): https://relayfi.com/?referralcode=profitcomesfirst  Profit Answer Man Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/profitanswerman/  My podcast about living a richer more meaningful life: http://richersoul.com/  Music provided by Junan from Junan Podcast  Any financial advice is for educational purposes only and you should consult with an expert for your specific needs.

A "heretical" alternative to dark matter is MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics), proposed by Mordehai Milgrom. Milgrom suggests that dark matter may not exist; instead, our current laws of gravity might be incorrect at galactic scales. MOND successfully explains galaxy rotation curves without requiring unseen matter, which remains a "worry" for traditional physicists. However, most cosmologists rely on gravitational lensing to map dark matter distribution. A key test is the Bullet Cluster, where two galaxy clusters are merging. Observations suggest mass is separated from visible gas, which initially seemed to refute MOND, though proponents still refine their theories. Future instruments, such as the Extremely Large Telescope in Chile, aim to provide the sensitivity needed to finally confirm the properties of dark matter or prove if modified gravity is the true answer.

This week on Autonomy Signals, Grayson Brulte and Rob Grant discuss Tesla's Unsupervised Robotaxi expansion to Dallas and Houston, Wisk Aero doubling its Gen 6 flight test fleet, and Meta's acquisition of Assured Robot Intelligence (ARI).Tesla recently launched Unsupervised Robotaxi in Houston and Dallas without chase vehicles, a structural shift from their January Austin debut where chase vehicles initially trailed the vehicles. The company's Unsupervised Robotaxi fleet has grown to north of 36 vehicles across the Austin, Dallas, and Houston markets.As Tesla continues to scale, Wisk Aero doubled their Gen 6 test fleet and successfully completed the first uncrewed flight of its second production prototype in Hollister, California. While the technical milestone is impressive, it does not shorten the regulatory distance to FAA type certification for autonomous passenger operations, a path categorically more complex than the one Joby and Archer are navigating with piloted aircraft.Then there is Meta, which acquired Assured Robot Intelligence (ARI) and folded the team into their Superintelligence Labs. This acquisition is the clearest signal yet that Meta is positioning its robotics AI models to become the Android of humanoid robotics, potentially enabling ecosystem partners to accelerate hardware deployments with an open-source operating system.Episode Chapters00:00 AUTNMY AI01:31 Signal 1: Tesla Scales Unsupervised Robotaxis30:41 Signal 2: Wisk Aero Doubles Gen 6 Test Fleet50:32 Signal 3: Meta Acquires Assured Robot Intelligence (ARI)--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, and proprietary market intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.
