In this in-depth episode of Building HVAC Science, hosts Bill Spohn and Eric Kaiser sit down with Phil Farese, CEO of Mojave HVAC, to explore the cutting edge of desiccant dehumidification technology. Phil, whose career began in physics at Cornell and research at Princeton before moving into consulting at McKinsey and leadership roles at NREL, Enphase, and now Mojave, brings a rare mix of scientific rigor and market savvy to the HVAC space.   The conversation traces the evolution of liquid desiccant systems and Mojave's unique approach that combines vapor compression and liquid desiccant in a single DOAS (Dedicated Outdoor Air System) unit. The result? Enhanced dehumidification, reduced energy use, and precision control of sensible and latent loads—at market-competitive prices. Phil outlines how Mojave's patented media bed and regeneration systems avoid many of the pitfalls that plagued earlier desiccant systems, while also maintaining ease of installation, low maintenance, and strong reliability.   Listeners also hear about Mojave's service philosophy, tech training programs, and broad rep network, plus a discussion of ideal use cases, efficiency standards like ISMRE (Integrated Seasonal Moisture Removal Efficiency), and how the system outperforms traditional DOAS units. Whether you're an engineer, contractor, or building owner looking to optimize HVAC performance while cutting energy bills, this episode delivers clear, science-backed insight into where dehumidification is headed.   Quotes from the episode: “We're not undoing cooling with reheat—we're using that energy to do something useful: regenerate the desiccant.”   “Liquid desiccants are like the honey of HVAC—safe, natural, and surprisingly powerful.”   “It looks like an air conditioner. That's what contractors tell us—and that's the point.”     Phil's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/philip-farese-49a81b1/   Mojave Energy Systems: https://mojavehvac.com/   Tony Mormino, our friend at HVAC-TV did a recent interview with Mojave: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/hvac-tv/episodes/Liquid-Desiccant-Dehumidification-Explained-e33elio/a-abvfahu   Eutectic system defined: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutectic_system   AHRI Standard 920,Performance Rating of Direct Expansion-dedicated Outdoor Air System Units:  https://www.ahrinet.org/search-standards/ahri-920-i-p-and-921-si-performance-rating-direct-expansion-dedicated-outdoor-air-system-units   Papers and reports by Phil: Tool to Prioritize Energy Efficiency Investments (NREL 2012):  https://docs.nrel.gov/docs/fy12osti/54799.pdf   How to build a low-energy future (2012): https://www.nature.com/articles/488275a ASHRAE paper on Liquid Desiccants: https://mojavehvac.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Liquid-Desiccant-Field-Campaign-Final-2.pdf   McKinsey paper:Unlocking Energy Efficiency in the US Economy (2009):  https://www.mckinsey.com/~/media/mckinsey/dotcom/client_service/Sustainability/PDFs/US_energy_efficiency_full_report.pdf     This episode was recorded in June 2025.

Show Summary: On this episode of the Grow My Accounting Practice podcast, Geoff Woods, author of The AI-Driven Leader and founder of AI Leadership, joins us to explore how leaders can effectively harness the power of AI to drive smarter, faster decision-making. Geoff shares his personal journey into the world of AI and breaks down why, despite knowing AI is the future, many leaders feel stuck when it comes to getting started. He explains how technology doesn't just change jobs — it reshapes which skills are valued and how processes are executed. Geoff emphasizes that it's not the tools, but the leaders who use them, that ultimately determine the impact on an organization. He also highlights a common pitfall: most professionals are using generative AI for minor, tactical tasks rather than for strategic initiatives that truly move the needle. This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to shift from overwhelm to innovation and unlock the real potential of AI in their firm.   Website: aileadership.com aileadership.com/start Corporate Partner:Universal Accounting - https://universalaccounting.com/ Profit First App Version 2.0 is here!  More Education.

What does it take to climb your hardest route at 50—and then hold the rope while someone else pushes that same line even further?For Neil Gresham, that moment came on Lexicon, a bold and beautiful E11 route he bolted and climbed later in life. In this conversation, Neil shares the full story—from discovering the line in the Lake District to the deep personal shift that allowed him to reach a new peak, years after he thought he'd already hit it.We also talk about what it was like to support a rare flash attempt by another world-class climber (whose recent film on Lexicon just dropped), and how that moment made Neil reflect on performance, legacy, and the long game.But this episode goes far beyond a single climb.We explore:Why Neil climbed his hardest routes after 45The nutrition and training strategies that helped him recover faster in his 50s than in his 20sWhat most athletes misunderstand about agingCoaching climbers into their 70s—including how he succeeded working with Rob MathesonThe mindset shift that helped him let go of pressure and finally enjoy the process againWhether you're a climber or not, Neil's story is about curiosity, adaptation, and staying sharp—mentally and physically—as the years go by.References & Resources:

Target-date funds just passed $4 trillion in assets. They're now the default investment in many 401(k)s, and millions of Americans are using them without really understanding how they work. So, are they a smart choice… or just the easiest one? These funds promise convenience and automatic adjustments, but with so much riding on a one-size-fits-all solution, it's worth asking—are they really helping you, or just keeping you on autopilot? In this episode, Ryan explains how target-date funds work, why they've become so popular, and the hidden pitfalls that many investors miss. Here's what we discuss in this episode:

Spoiler: It wasn't all smooth sailing. But this agency founder figured out how to stop being the bottleneck, leverage systems and AI, and make his agency way more profitable along the way. It all began by creating a digital brain for his agency. In this episode, Shawn Johnston, owner of Forge and Smith, a Vancouver-based agency shares how he's been building bespoke WordPress sites for 13+ years. He'll share his story—and some seriously smart tips for agency owners looking to scale and create more freedom in their agency. In this episode, you'll learn: Why documenting your processes is key to scaling How to use AI to build a “digital brain” for your agency How to step out of day-to-day work and empower your team Tips for focusing your team on high-value, strategic work Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources E2M Solutions: Today's episode of the Smart Agency Masterclass is sponsored by E2M Solutions, a web design, and development agency that has provided white-label services for the past 10 years to agencies all over the world. Check out e2msolutions.com/smartagency and get 10% off for the first three months of service. From Print Design to Web Agency Owner Like a lot of us, Shawn didn't set out to build an agency. He started as a print designer back in 1996, cranking out newspaper ads when CSS came on the scene, sparking heated debate at the office over whether it would change the internet or not. Shawn got curious, taught himself to code, and started building sites on the side. What started as a hobby turned into freelancing… and when the 2008 housing collapse hit, he went all in. He hustled hard on Craigslist, building $1,500 WordPress sites and quickly realizing he was making more than his day job. This gave way to his first lesson in business: Hustle works early on, but you can't scale without systems. When He Knew It Was a “Real” Agency Starting out, Shawn was able to handle all the WordPress development, design, and strategy by himself. By setting up some repeatable pieces, he was able to grow his client list, with some of them coming back for site support. As projects stacked up, however, he hit a wall: He couldn't sell, deliver, and support all at once. He decided his first hire would handle client support, so he could free up time for higher-value work. From there, he slowly backed himself out of development… then strategy… then design - replacing himself piece by piece. Of course, this didn't automatically erase all the agency's problems. Initially, it only created a new set challenges. Adding new pieces to the team made their lack of documented processes very clear. For a while, the handoff confusion created meant everything continued to run through Shawn... The real issue was that there was too much knowledge trapped in his head. Why Documented Processes Are the Key to Scaling The obvious solution was to start documenting everything from UX components to strategy guides to build quality standards. From that point on, everyone knew who was responsible for what and at what point. The goal wasn't to limit creativity but to empower the team to make smart decisions without running to Shawn for answers. For Shawn, a focal point of this shift had to be underlying the agency's why. Everyone on the team had to be very clear on: Why do we work with clients the way we do? Why are we doing things this way and not that way? Making sure everyone understood the overall goals would inform the decision-making, cultural aspects, and would help the team work cohesively. Documented systems = freedom for you and clarity for your team. Win-win. The Next Step: Creating a ‘Digital Brain' for Your Team Fast forward to today, and Shawn is using AI to level up even more. He records and transcribes sales calls, discovery calls, and proposal work—then synthesizes it into a knowledge base his team can actually use. No more “Shawn said this one thing on a call” confusion mid-project. The team can look back at the records and apply direction to move forward without him. We've talked about the next step with AI for agency owners: train an AI assistant on your agency's entire knowledge base. That means training it with everything you have in your knowledge bank, including: Past client insights Brand guidelines Design patterns Sales conversations Internal processes Apply these practices ASAP so that your team can tap that knowledge instantly — without pinging you for answers. Think of it as your agency's “digital brain” and the key to your freedom. Why Low-Code + Prebuilt Systems Are Boosting Profits One of Shawn's smartest moves has been leaning hard into reusable systems and low-code tools. He's baked strategy into UX components, aligned dev processes with design frameworks, and streamlined builds so 80% of each site is repeatable. That frees the team to focus on the 20% that really matters—the strategic stuff that drives results (and justifies premium pricing). More profit, faster delivery, better outcomes. Everybody wins.

Like having light dimmers, people can control heat or cool just where they need it. He talks about how one unit sends refrigerant to all zones and why installers must size and wire things right. David also shares how a smart feature can fix wiring mistakes fast, but it's still best to fix it right later. He reminds techs that placing the outdoor unit in the right spot helps avoid noise and keeps the home peaceful. Expect to Learn: Why Multi-zone Ductless is great for homes without ductwork. How one outdoor unit runs many rooms with custom comfort. Why line sets and wiring need careful planning and setup. How a smart feature can fix wiring mix-ups in a pinch. Why unit placement matters to keep noise levels low.

This week Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Daya Naef. The two talk about Daya's journey from legal practice to founding her own consulting company, her expertise in helping law firms strategically integrate AI into their operations, and the challenges firms face in adopting new technology. In this episode, we discuss: How attorneys and law firms can proactively implement AI to streamline low-level, repetitive tasks, starting with secure, paid tools like ChatGPT. What are the risks of jumping into every new AI product—cautioning firms to avoid shiny object syndrome and focus on real, usable solutions for their teams. When law firms hit “tech cliffs”—such as e-filing and digital service—and how those parallels inform today's AI readiness. Why discussing AI use openly in professional circles (and sharing "war stories" and best practices) helps reduce stigma and speeds up learning and adoption. Why authenticity and real human conversation will remain important, even as AI automates more legal functions.   Daya Naef, CEO of The Success Partner   Daya Naef is an attorney, entrepreneur, and business strategist with 20+ years in law, 7 in coaching, and 1 in AI strategy. She helps law firms grow, innovate, and succeed through her firm, The Success Partner. A Loyola JD graduate, her career spans litigation, mediation, and legal consulting.
