The scenario centers on January 3, 2027. Even if Democrats win House and Senate majorities in November, Luttig argues, Speaker Mike Johnson could move before noon that day to replace House Clerk Kevin McCumber with a loyalist who leaves duly elected Democrats off the roll of the incoming 120th Congress, forcing a court fight that could drag on for weeks and ultimately reach the Supreme Court. Hawk pairs it with Johnson's own words at the Dallas convention, where he said Republicans would not allow Democrats to take the majority.Hawk also notes what the reporting makes clear: this is Luttig's prediction, not a certainty, and legal scholars dispute whether the maneuver could actually work. It is a candid video too, with Hawk open about the fear the subject stirs in him, and he closes on the practical steps he keeps urging: register, check your registration, make a plan, vote, and share this widely.

Kevin Hincks calls Friday's CPI report "benign" to kick off the trading session and makes the case that the Fed will not raise interest rates in next week's meeting. The release of the print pulled the 10-year Treasury yield down from its multi-year high. That said, Kevin makes the case the report creates a "real tricky" scenario for the Fed's upcoming decision. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Welcome to "What's the Scenario? with PLRB", where we explore claims & coverage scenarios relevant to insurance professionals. I'm Brennan McLoughlin, and for this holiday week we'll be sharing a classic episode from the PLRB Weather team.   A CAT Manager is making preparations for her CAT team in advance of Hurricane Francine, which approached the Louisiana coast in the second week of September, 2024. She reads something about spaghetti models, and something about Fast Track cyclones?   Notable Timestamps [ 00:36 ] - The building owner submits the claim to their property insurer, looking for coverage for a new bollard. They have a standard CP 00 10 10 12, which does not include coverage for fences if the cause of loss was an accidental vehicle crash.  [ 01:21 ] - The PLRB team discuss pasta recipes. [ 02:47 ] - Hurricane Francine caused a great deal of damage to homeowners and businessowners by the Louisiana coast. [ 04:35 ] - Andrew shares some screenshots, available on the YouTube version of this podcast. [ 05:02 ] - An error cone is shown, demonstrating the suspected path of the hurricane. [ 05:28 ] - Spaghetti models show the various paths Francine might have taken. [ 05:46 ] - Peak storm surge forecasts color code area by feet of storm surge. [ 06:44 ] - The "Best Track" includes line, point data, and cumulative wind history. [ 07:20 ] - Spaghetti models are a forecasting tool that provides multiple expectant paths. Tracks closer together indicate certainty. These are available on PLRB.org or via API. [ 08:33 ] - Andrew demonstrates how spaghetti models can change over time. Error cones may be superimposed on the spaghetti models. [ 10:17 ] - Storm surge is the rise in seawater caused solely by the storm's winds pushing the water onto shore. Soup gets involved now. [ 11:15 ] - Best Track is a representation of the tropical cyclone's direction and intensity. The Best Track wind swath shows how the storm changed. [ 12:10 ] - Catastrophe Managers can use these forecasting tools in resource allocation. Best Track data can assist in estimating claim ratios. Claims Adjusters can use Best Track data to assist in claims decisions. Underwriters can use this historical data in risk assessment. [ 13:19 ] - Andrew provides a recap of the scenario and the points above.

Host: Lalo Solorzano Guest(s): Arthur O'Meara Published: September 8, 2026 Length: ~15 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary When goods are damaged in transit, who owns the problem—the seller or the buyer? The answer may not be as straightforward as who owns or physically possesses the goods. In this Trade Tips episode of Simply Trade, host Lalo Solorzano welcomes longtime Global Training Center instructor Arthur O'Meara for a practical conversation about Incoterms® and one of the most important distinctions in an international transaction: the difference between responsibility, possession, and ownership. Arthur shares a real-world FCA scenario involving goods shipped from the United States to Canada that were damaged by rain while in transit. Although title to the goods had not yet transferred to the buyer, the Incoterms® rule told a different story about who was responsible for the risk at the time of the damage. To make these concepts easier to remember, Arthur introduces his RePO framework: Responsibility, Possession, and Ownership. He explains why these three concepts need to be understood separately—and why the paperwork, the parties' intentions, and what actually happens operationally should all align. The key lesson: don't wait until something goes wrong to discover what your contract actually says. Main Topic / Discussion This episode focuses on understanding how Incoterms® address the transfer of possession and risk between seller and buyer—and why that should not be confused with the transfer of ownership or title. Arthur uses the mnemonic RePO: Responsibility, Possession, and Ownership to distinguish three concepts that can transfer at different points in a transaction. Using an FCA seller's facility example, Arthur explains how risk can transfer to the buyer once the seller loads the goods onto the collecting vehicle, even though ownership may not yet have transferred. When the shipment in his example was damaged by rain on its way to Canada, understanding the agreed Incoterms® rule helped determine which party bore the risk. The broader lesson applies beyond FCA: companies should regularly compare their contracts and documentation with their actual operational practices and confirm that they accurately reflect what the buyer and seller intend. Key Takeaways • Remember RePO: Responsibility, Possession, and Ownership are separate concepts and should be addressed accordingly in the transaction. • Incoterms® do not determine ownership: They address important responsibilities between buyer and seller, including delivery and the transfer of risk, but title or ownership must be addressed separately. • Know when risk transfers: Under FCA at the seller's facility, the point at which the seller delivers the goods to the buyer's carrier can determine when risk shifts from seller to buyer. • Test your paperwork before there's a problem: Create a hypothetical failure or damaged-shipment scenario, pull out the documentation, and determine whether the written agreement matches the parties' intentions and actual operations. Resources & Mentions • O'Meara and Associates • Global Training Center • The Way Things Work: Newly Revised Edition by David Macaulay — Arthur recommends this illustrated reference as an approachable way for trade professionals to better understand mechanical and engineering concepts useful in areas such as tariff classification. • Whose Problem Is It?

Make It So is my new eight-week seminar, and this episode is the full walkthrough — what it is, who it's for, and why I built it around practice instead of prediction. The name comes from Jean-Luc Picard: you're telling me you want to do something, so do it. And there's research behind that instinct. Herminia Ibarra at London Business School has shown that identity shifts when you apply what you're learning — you can think about something extensively, but real learning starts when you make it real. Leadership programs hand you a framework. This is a practice, and preparation starts with examining what you're already assuming to be true. That's my Assumption-Ground Audit: it doesn't start with strategy, it starts a layer back — what are we treating as settled that we haven't even looked at? Everyone has a history, a present, and a future, which means futurism doesn't require a crystal ball. It's woven into your life already — how you respond, how you plan, how you envision what's ahead. And there's no one future. There's futures. For decades, Canada operated on the assumption that the US was its biggest trading partner and a great neighbour. This summer, that's not proving reliable. Tariffs may be temporary. Repairs may not be. Whatever your version of that assumption is — in your work, your business, your family — you can't build for the future until you've looked at what you're assuming will hold. In this episode: Who this is for: people who sense things before the room catches up — not the "this is the way it always was" crowd Building across a permacrisis: climate, economic uproar, geopolitical drama, technology upheaval — how do you adapt when your strategy stops being realistic within 90 days? Why so much of change is rooted in identity, which assumptions are load-bearing in yours, and why letting go of a story you tell about yourself can feel like grief (my neighbours' US-centred retirement plans, my husband's shift as our kids moved to university) Trust: who you trust, why, what disrupts it — and how you repair it when the breach is cultural and underlying-values level, not day-to-day What's a true signal and what's just noise: how you scan, what bias impedes your noticing, and how you make meaning out of what you notice Scenario thinking as a leadership tool, not just a planning exercise Language and power: who gets to name things, who respects the reasons for a name, and what the Lake Ontario / "Lake America" drama says about hierarchy and identity Embedding: setting up a practice you run in your own life — almost like configuring a tool stack for a world that's shifting in real time How I used these skills myself: implementing work from home a full decade before the pandemic, and moving away from working for an American division ten years before this summer A note for American participants — what I'll ask you to be able to sit with before you join Why this is a moment to invest in Canada and be chosen for the Canadian perspective, not because the historical choice has always been an American expert These skills are transferable — they'll apply to your work, your parenting, your relationships. It's not a straight line; it's learning to work with the currents, the waves, the disruptions, and get closer to where you want to be. More of what you want, less of what you don't. That's the hope and possibilities in the future of work.

A contractor was hired to renovate a kitchen. The homeowner was thrilled with the results, but asked for a few final punch-list items: adjusting the cabinet doors and replacing a damaged drawer pull. To reach the cabinets, the contractor moved the refrigerator, but failed to securely reconnect the ice maker supply line before leaving. Two days later, the homeowner discovered water throughout the kitchen and adjacent rooms after the line separated, damaging the newly renovated space and the surrounding flooring.   Notable Timestamps   [ 00:45 ] - Mike sets up today's scenario: a contractor's punch-list visit ends with a disconnected ice maker line and water damage throughout a newly renovated kitchen.   [ 05:08 ] - Brennan and Mike revisit the CGL's j(5) and j(6) exclusions, which apply only to ongoing operations on the particular part of the property being worked on -- not completed work.   [ 08:03 ] - Once an operation is complete, the Damage to Your Work exclusion takes over, precluding coverage for property damage to the insured's own completed work -- unless a subcontractor did that work.   [ 09:51 ] - "Your work" and the "products-completed operations hazard" are both specifically defined policy terms, complete with a three-part test for exactly when work is deemed done.   [ 11:37 ] - The team finds the carve-out they were looking for: coverage turns on whether the work "has not been completed or abandoned."   [ 14:45 ] - The kitchen renovation was substantially complete, so the water damage likely falls under the Your Work exclusion.   [ 15:19 ] - Either way, some damage may still be covered -- reconnecting the ice maker wasn't really the contractor's "work," so the resulting damage to the flooring is arguably separate, covered damage.   Your PLRB Resources   Coverage Question: Is This an Ongoing or Completed Operation? https://members.plrb.org/documents/is-this-an-ongoing-or-completed-operation-2025-08-25fjg   Adjuster Resource Sheet: Faulty Work https://members.plrb.org/documents/adjuster-resource-sheet-faulty-work   Employees of member companies also have access to a searchable legal database, hundreds of hours of video trainings, building code materials, weather data, and even the ability to have your coverage questions answered by our team of attorneys (https://www.plrb.org/ask-plrb/) at no additional charge to you or your company.   Subscribe to this Podcast   Your Podcast App - Please subscribe and rate us on your favorite podcast app   YouTube - Please like and subscribe at @plrb   LinkedIN - Please follow at "Property and Liability Resource Bureau"   Send us your Scenario!   Please reach out to us at 630-509-8704 with your scenario!

72 Hours at the End of the Road What happens when a completely normal neighborhood gets cut off from the outside world for 72 hours? In this episode, we drop into a fictional cul-de-sac after a violent storm washes out the only road, knocks out power, disrupts water service, and leaves twenty households to figure things out on their own. As the hours pass, the problems start stacking up: medication shortages, generator fuel, questionable water, stranded family members, neighborhood security, hidden supplies, rumors, theft scares, and one very unfortunate missing gas can. We work through the scenario hour by hour and ask what we would actually do, what gear really matters, how much we would share with neighbors, and how quickly a group of normal people could either become a functioning community or completely turn on each other.

Our government hasn't taken seriously the fragility of America's Electrical Grid. It would seem this is a purposeful move, because experts have been warning for decades how easy it would be for our enemies, or any small rogue group to take the grid down.  Here's what that would look like and some things you can do to be prepared.

On this episode of The Buzz, powered by Toyota Automated Logistics, hosts Scott Luton and Karin Bursa welcome Philip Vervloesem, Chief Commercial and Markets Officer at OMP, for a wide-ranging conversation on the forces reshaping global supply chains. From extreme weather and transportation disruptions to China's rapidly expanding automotive industry, the team explores today's biggest supply chain headlines before diving into AI, decision velocity, always-on planning, and the evolving role of supply chain professionals. Supply chain leaders have more data, technology, and intelligence at their fingertips than ever before, but the real competitive advantage comes from turning those insights into the right decisions faster. Scott, Karin, and Philip examine how organizations can use scenario planning, external market signals, AI agents, and connected decision-making to respond more effectively to disruption and uncertainty. They also explore why successful AI adoption isn't simply about automation or replacing people. Instead, the future belongs to organizations that combine intelligent technology with human judgment, collaboration, trust, and business context. Key Takeaways Resilience happens before disruption. Scenario planning and decision intelligence give organizations more options while there is still time to act. External signals matter. Weather, climate patterns, market conditions, and other syndicated data can help companies anticipate disruptions and continuously refine supply chain plans. Decision velocity is becoming a competitive advantage. Leading organizations aren't simply collecting more data—they're connecting data to decisions and executing those decisions across the enterprise faster. Agentic AI's greatest opportunity is augmentation. AI agents can identify issues, evaluate scenarios, coordinate information, and recommend actions, while people provide judgment, context, governance, and leadership. Always-on planning is changing traditional planning cycles. Planning isn't disappearing, but waiting for weekly or monthly cycles to respond to change increasingly will. The planner of the future needs strong human skills. Business knowledge, communication, influence, collaboration, storytelling, and the ability to navigate trade-offs will become even more valuable as technology advances. The future of supply chain planning isn't simply about moving faster—it's about making better decisions with greater confidence.

A homeowner reports that the central air conditioning system stopped working during a summer heat wave. They sent their contractor's invoice to their insurance company. The adjuster has to review the invoice, the Declarations Page, and policy excerpts to handle the claim. But this isn't a real claims file; this are mock claims documents as used in the PACE Designation Exam. Today we'll explore how authentic assessment is leveraged to test real-world skills, and you can try your luck with this sample question. Notable Timestamps [ 01:24 ] - The exam includes basic recall questions that require the test-taker to produce knowledge on the spot, such as defining key terms and claims handling concepts. [ 03:03 ] - Application questions go a step beyond simple recall by providing a specific claim scenario and challenging the test-taker to determine how to properly handle it. [ 04:26 ] - Authentic assessment utilizes research questions designed to mimic real-world tasks, presenting professionals with mock documents to analyze and interpret. [ 06:15 ] - A sample question asks test-takers to review a contractor's invoice, a declarations page, and policy excerpts to solve a central air conditioning failure. [ 08:11 ] - Just like in real life, test-takers must filter through extraneous details within the provided mock documents to locate the relevant facts needed to resolve the claim. [ 10:47 ] - By carefully reviewing the policy limits and endorsements, the test-taker can correctly deduce that the sample claim is covered but strictly capped at $10,000. [ 13:29 ] - Ultimately, this rigorous testing methodology elevates the designation's value by ensuring that credential holders are practically equipped to handle real-world claims.

Sluipende langetermijnstrategie van Rusland | Hoe moet de EU Canada steunen? | De cyclus van de geschiedenis Rusland verlengt de oorlog in Oekraïne en vergroot zo het risico op interne instabiliteit en mogelijk uiteenvallen van de Russische Federatie. Arend Jan Boekestijn en Rob de Wijk schetsen hoe uiteenlopende elites rond het Kremlin kunnen breken met Poetin als veroverd gebied moet worden opgegeven, zeker wanneer de Krim verloren gaat. Ze plaatsen dit in een historische cyclus waarin militaire impasses vaak uitlopen op regimecrises en gevaarlijke vlucht naar voren. Poetin ontwikkelt tegelijk opties voor beperkte prikacties tegen de NAVO-oostflank, waarbij de alliantie moet kiezen tussen escalatie en gezichtsverlies. De twee bespreken droneaanvallen, Spetsnaz-operaties en hybride strategie onder de Artikel 5-drempel, en de impact van Europese vermoeidheid en binnenlandse politieke bewegingen zoals AfD en Le Pen. Het spanningsveld tussen afschrikking, solidariteit met Oekraïne en angst voor escalatie staat centraal. In Noord-Amerika komt Canada in de vuurlinie van Trumps handelspolitiek en rijst de vraag hoe ver de Europese Unie moet gaan in het steunen van Ottawa. Boekestijn en De Wijk wegen tegenheffingen, een sterkere Europese kapitaalmarkt en digitale autonomie tegen het risico van een nieuwe trans-Atlantische handelsoorlog. Ze sluiten af met parallellen tussen de krantenkoppen van 1951 en de huidige machtsverschuivingen, waarin een nieuwe wereldorde opnieuw gepaard gaat met gedoe en gevaarlijke jaren. [Samenvatting geschreven door AI en gecontroleerd door mens] Over de Podcast Arend Jan Boekestijn en Rob de Wijk gaan onder leiding van Hugo Reitsma op zoek naar de nieuwe wereldorde. Wat betekenen oorlog, machtspolitiek en economische verschuivingen voor Europa en Nederland? In elke aflevering duiken zij in de geopolitieke actualiteit.

New Orleans getting more control over the Sewerage and Water Board could be great, but there are some potential concerns, according to Becky Mowbray, president and CEO of the Bureau of Governmental Research. We talk with her about it.

The quotes from Republican officials are the ones that land. One said they are not devious enough to anticipate what is coming. Another warned about what replaces the ballot when confidence in it collapses. Hawk walks through 2020 footage from Phoenix, Detroit, and Philadelphia, plus the Fulton County ballot seizure and why the statute of limitations makes that warrant hard to explain. His argument stays the same. Almost everything that led to January 6th happened after election day, and the officials who refused then are gone.

An adjuster has decided to level up their career by earning their PACE-P Designation. They've completed the comprehensive educational program, prepared with the study guide, and are now sitting down to take the remotely proctored exam. Are they ready for it? Are you? Notable Timestamps [ 00:00:34 ] - The podcast explores the scenario of an adjuster who has completed an educational program and a study guide, and is now preparing to sit for the remotely proctored PACE Designation Exam. [ 00:04:04 ] - The PACE Designation program begins with an onboarding curriculum, consisting of three core courses that teach foundational insurance concepts, industry jargon, and claims handling. [ 00:04:32 ] - Participants can progress to a seven-course Personal Property Lines track detailing claim evaluation and resolution, and later choose a la carte electives known as Claims Intensives for more niche topics. [ 00:11:52 ] - The exam is divided into three timed segments: a 35-minute Core Curriculum unit, a 65-minute Personal Lines Property unit, and a 35-minute Claims Intensive unit, which do not have to be taken on the exact same day. [ 00:13:03 ] - Because the exam is strictly timed, test-takers must answer and immediately move forward, as the system does not allow them to return to previous questions once a response has been selected. [ 00:15:45 ] - Helpful exam strategies recommended by the hosts include reading questions fully, identifying qualifying keywords like "best" or "always," and actively eliminating the incorrect answer options. [ 00:17:28 ] - Earning the PACE-P designation means joining a select group of recognized professionals after passing a proctored, two-and-a-half-hour exam that tests skills using authentic claim documents.

The midterms will definitively fall into one of three scenarios. Republicans began this Congress with a 220–215 House majority and hold the Senate 53–47. The environment is brutal for them: Trump's approval is at 33 percent, 70 percent disapprove of his handling of inflation and the cost of living, and the Democratic advantage on the generic ballot is getting close to eight points. But Republicans have a big money advantage, and the Senate map still requires almost everything to go right for Democrats.Scenario one is Ah, Nevertheless: Republicans retain both the House and Senate. They can lose two House seats and still hold 218, and a few candidate-specific wins, redrawn districts, or polling errors could get them there. The Senate is already a hard climb for Democrats, and all Trump has done his entire career is surprise people. But pretty much everything argues against this. The president's party usually loses seats in the midterms, Trump's approval and cost-of-living numbers stink on ice, and the battlefield is expanding into Republican territory. If the GOP holds both chambers, the story won't be that Trump beat the odds. It'll be that he is the odds. You don't bet against Big Donny T.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Scenario two is WINO — Win in Name Only: Democrats win the House by fewer than 10 seats while Republicans retain the Senate. This is, in my view, the most likely scenario as of August. Democrats get Speaker Hakeem Jeffries, control of the legislative agenda, committee gavels, subpoena power, and the ability to impeach by a simple majority. But with a tiny margin, every ideological bloc becomes a potential veto point. A handful of members could threaten Jeffries' speakership or stop legislation, and impeachment would be ceremonial without the Senate. Republicans keep the brake pedal while their senators become less Trump-aligned as his duck gets lamer. Democrats win the gavel, Republicans keep the brake pedal, and Jeffries ultimately pays the bill.Scenario three is My Blue Heaven: Democrats win the House by more than 10 seats and take the Senate, giving them at least 223 House seats and 51 Democratic-aligned senators. Trump's approval would need to remain in the low-to-mid-30s, affordability would need to dominate, and Democratic enthusiasm would have to survive the transition from the primaries to November. Progressives and the establishment would need to mend their fences and say, “Onward, onward, onward.” The Senate table would have to be almost entirely clean, including pickups in Alaska, Iowa, and Maine, plus a Michigan hold with Abdul El-Sayed.Ah, Nevertheless would mean Trump wriggled out of it yet again and avoided impeachment. WINO would produce a loud, hectic Democratic House that can investigate and pass bills but can't get much through the Senate. My Blue Heaven would give Democrats control of both chambers, allowing them to send legislation to Trump, multiply the investigations, and begin asking whether they have the votes to eliminate the filibuster.Those are the three paths in front of us: Republicans hold, the parties split power narrowly, or Democrats get their deliverance. It's a multi-versal ride that will only get clearer as we approach November.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:04:19 - Midterms Scenarios Revealed00:23:35 - Bernie Endorses Angie Nixon00:27:43 - National Debt00:31:01 - Iran00:35:16 - Kirk Bado on the Midterms01:06:41 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

In Episode #114 of The Executive Commute, Jayson Krause is joined by Cathie Saroka, Level 52 Coach and Facilitator and CEO of Goldray Glass, for a conversation about leading through uncertainty without carrying the weight alone. Cathie has spent decades leading through recessions, business volatility, personal challenges, the pandemic, and constant change. Her experience has taught her that strong leadership in uncertain times is not about projecting certainty or having every answer. It is about building a team that can think, challenge, adapt, and solve problems together. Jayson and Cathie explore why uncertainty creates fear and unproductive stories, how leaders can create clarity without pretending to know what comes next, and why values, trust, collaboration, and scenario planning become critical when information is incomplete. They also examine the danger of theatrical certainty, the difference between composure and competence, why leaders need to make decisions with minimal viable information, and how to create an environment where people feel safe enough to surface the ideas and concerns that leaders need to hear.

Max Fried is back on the injured list with the same elbow issue that already sidelined him for nearly two months, and Evan Roberts fears the Yankees may not see him pitch again this season. Evan and Tiki Barber break down why the recurrence is so alarming, whether even an optimistic Aaron Boone update can be trusted, and how Fried's absence suddenly puts more pressure on Carlos Rodon, Garrett Cole, Ryan Weathers and the rest of the rotation. The injury also revives the trade deadline debate over Tarik Skubal and the warning that teams can never have enough pitching. Plus, the guys explain how the American League playoff schedule could help the Yankees survive with only three starters in the Division Series.

Clarify: Is this something you can do as a new GM, or do you need to really have a sense of who you are first? Should you feel obligated to change things?

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. Scenario planning isn't just for financials. Whether markets drop or your business faces adversity, having thought about the worst-case lets you operate with confidence. In this episode, Jess Dewell talks with Jack Oujo, Founder at Oujo Wealth Strategies, about why it is BOLD to embrace the concept of less is more — especially in today's fast-changing world. The toughest leadership calls are often the ones we delay. Welcoming peer feedback and brutal self-assessment catapults businesses to top-tier success. Embracing worst-case scenarios in decision-making and strategic planning is necessary to navigate recessions, market crashes, and disruption. You'll discover: Why focusing on existing clients drives growth far more than chasing new ones How career transitions can open unexpected doors when you embrace curiosity and risk Why process and scenario planning outperform rigid sales goals How culture and non-financial aspects determine long-term business stability The confidence that comes from preparing for worst-case scenarios Why financial independence matters more than following buzzwords like "retirement" How internal insights often outweigh endless external meetings What it means to make decisions based on deeply held principles Success is determined by how you choose to use the extra time you have. What you choose to carry forward from your biggest learning experiences shapes how you take calculated risks and move forward with intention. Take this work and focus on your client experience for connection and retention through change. —--------- If you're ready to build the kind of business that doesn't just survive uncertainty but leads through it, check out the Driving Solutions Strategic Intensive program, designed to support leadership teams through high-stakes strategic decisions.    --------------------   You can get in touch with Jess Dewell on Twitter,  LinkedIn or Red Direction website.

What would happen if a top-secret Russian lab released a deadly, weaponized, pathogen? That's the nightmare possibility that author Annie Jacobsen presents in her new book, “Biological War: A Scenario.” Drawing on hundreds of interviews with former defense secretaries, CIA and FEMA officials, scientists and counterterrorism experts, Jacobsen shows how we might respond hour-by-hour, and the outlook is grim. We'll talk to Jacobsen about why we can't ignore the existence of biological weaponry.

Fifteen states accounted for 80 percent of data center electricity demand in 2023, a single hyperscale campus can arrive as 15 to 20 percent of a utility's demand, and the transmission to serve it takes five to 15 years to build. On this episode of Volts, David Roberts works through Climate Cabinet's Taming Data Center Turmoil series with Saleem Chapman, who leads the group's electricity affordability policy work, on why Georgia's regulated utility, PJM's capacity market, and ERCOT's competitive market each left ratepayers holding the risk, and what a state can require before it approves a project, while the facility operates, and after the deal is done.Chapters:00:00 – Introduction02:49 – How Climate Cabinet came to the data center fight03:58 – Three things that make hyperscalers unlike past industrial loads07:51 – Warning signals: forecast opacity, gas dependency, unconditional subsidies13:44 – Siting near overburdened communities and the Memphis case15:34 – State preemption versus local control18:31 – The same failure pattern in Georgia, PJM, and ERCOT23:52 – Why not just ban data centers outright28:07 – The framework, and what to require before approval34:54 – While operating: real cost pricing and on-call load flexibility37:39 – Scenario-based planning and the utility incentive problem39:37 – After the deal: new and matched clean energy43:48 – Siting standards and performance-tied incentives50:27 – Existing facilities and the threat to build elsewhere55:41 – Which states are ahead, and step one for lawmakers
