Introduction: Welcome to Five & Thrive: a weekly podcast highlighting the Southeast's most interesting news, entrepreneurs, and information of the week, all under 5 minutes.  My name is Jon Birdsong and I'm with Atlanta Ventures. Companies Worth Applying To: There are several companies looking for SDR's including Greenzie, AdPipe, and Copient Health. If you or any of your network know a talented recent graduate looking to break into sales, I cannot recommend these options enough. SDR's are needed across many companies and these three are ones I know that will cultivate them into a valuable, qualified, and efficient sales professional.   Event of the Week: Last week I was on the Friday Nooner with Pete, Jackie, and Joe of GrepBeat and through our wonderful conversation, was reminded that Grep-a-palooza is coming up on June 1st. It is being held in Raleigh and has a great set of topics and discussion points. We put the link to the entire agenda in the show notes.  Company Coming Up: I came across a unique and fast growing company out of Decatur this week called Volanto. Founded in 2014,. Volantio frees airlines from the constraints of fixed capacity and they do this through a dynamic platform that moves select customers on popular services to alternate off-peak choices post-booking (with compensation).  This is fully automated self-service process which allows airlines to secure more prime capacity, improved guest satisfaction, all while significantly improving their bottom line.  Volantio's customers include 15+ airlines globally.. Volantio was founded by Azim Barodawala and Fenn Bailey and they just raised their Series A last September which includes customer, Alaska Airlines. Impressive progress.  LinkedIn Post of the Week: I follow several thought leaders whether it's on LInkedIn or Twitter and every now and then one post just blows me away with its simplicity and timeliness and that happened with a recent post from Seth Radman. Seth is the CTO of Infinite Giving and has built dozens and dozens of products and one of his most recent posts just struck such a wonderful chord was around MVP's and pushing out a product. He writes: “If your MVP doesn't immediately drive word of mouth growth, improving the product won't help. Adding more features to something that didn't get people excited on Day 1 won't make it better.” The simplicity in this message makes it resonate so well. If future customers in your market are not getting excited about the value prop of your product, it will never matter that the degree of it's robustness or functionality. At Atlanta Ventures, we call this authentic demand and it is required for a market – even if it is initially a niche market – to build something successful. Great thought leadership Seth and keep creating.  Platform Announcement of the Week: FlockSafety, which helped secure a dangerous shooter in Atlanta two weeks ago, announced a major product and really platform evolution in the business. Their 4 major products which includes their license plate reader (LPR), now incorporate the Flock Safety Raven product, their FlockOS product and the FlockSafety Condor. This mix of software around audio, video, and streaming services makes up for their full suite of services to fight crime in communities and I can tell you, as my kid's school was locked down two weeks ago, I'm very glad these advancements are being made.   Flock Safety currently serves 3,000 communities across the U.S. The company's devices and software provide the evidence for police to solve about 7% of reported crime in the U.S.   Raise a Glass: This week, Eskuad out of the Atlanta Tech Village raised $1.6M led by Outlander VC. Eskuad is a mobile-first data platform built specifically for field operations. You don't even need wireless access. Their products help you build forms, enter data, manage tasks and teams, with world-class offline function. Customers are saving 20% in operational costs and getting reports delivered 20x faster. Congrats to Eskuad on the round and the future ahead.  Annnnnd that's five minutes!

Is it better to run a business alone or with a partner? Of course, there are pros and cons to both. However, partnerships certainly offer fantastic benefits. Take Alex Yeater, for example. He is an everbowl Area Representative who has partnered with people to build something bigger.  Alex is an Area Representative with everbowl in the Midwest, South, and Southeast. He and his wife of almost 20 years, Kelli, have four sons between the ages of 18 and 5. Before everbowl, Alex and his business partner Mitch grew a Wireless Zone franchise from 2 stores to 32 before exiting in 2021. In 2022, Alex and Mitch partnered with Drew Brees to form EB Masters, one of the largest Area Representative companies in the US. By forming partnerships, major franchise investors can tap into the existing expertise of owners and operators, adopt proven best practices, and expand into new markets by leveraging their resources and complementing each other's skill sets. But where can you find people who share your passion? How do you form genuine connections and build partnerships? Alex and Erik share valuable insights into this topic, so make sure to catch this episode!   “Long-term partnerships, they're like marriages, man. The first couple of years were hard, trying to figure out what was my role, what was his role. Now we've really gotten into this groove.” - Alex Yeater   In This Episode: - A quick story on how Alex left the cellphone business and got into franchising - What makes a partnership work well?  - What is it like being business partners with Drew Brees, and how do you manage expectations when partnering with someone with star power? - Alex talks about the benefits of joining the Mastermind Group (other than meeting Erik) And more!

Kevn Kinney is the lead singer of Drivin N Cryin, a rock band that achieved legendary status in the Southeast during the late 80s and 90s but never quite broke into the national big time. DNC's popularity peaked when their album Fly Me Courageous was certified gold. During that time, the band toured with Neil Young and Soul Asylum, but even after selling over 500,000 copies, they never recouped the expenses that went into the recording and production of music videos they weren't really all that into in the first place. Despite the ups-and-downs, Kevn told me he has never been happier than he is now because he does what he does for himself and doesn't worry too much whether other people like it. Kevn remains a prolific and respected songwriter and tours constantly. Over 38 years playing together, the band has “survived the pressures of fame, a shifting musical landscape, multiple lineup changes, and miles of backroads and highways” to arrive where they are “comfortable with their past and confident in their future.” I had a great time talking to Kevn in my basement where we discussed: Why we both don't love jam bands How the song Straight to Hell went from being a “dumb song at the end of the record” to one he now has to play at every show Why, unlike a lot of musicians, he loves actually appreciates Spotify and iTunes The good part about touring at 62 How artistic envy keeps artists down Some of the bands he has loved working with over the years, including: the Black Crowes, Collective Soul, Indigo Girls, REM, Edwin McCain, Blues Traveler, and many more The difference between Atlanta and Athens, GA Big thanks to Michaeline and Ed Roland for connecting me with Kevn. 

Distressed is a bad thing. At least, it usually is.

Introduction: Welcome to Five & Thrive: a weekly podcast highlighting the Southeast's most interesting news, entrepreneurs, and information of the week, all under 5 minutes.  My name is Jon Birdsong and I'm with Atlanta Ventures. Companies Worth Applying To: We have two companies worth applying to right now that are worth taking a serious look.  First is ViewFi, the telemedicine company out of Atlanta led by CEO, Michael Williamson. ViewFi connects you with the world's top medical experts to get your pain or injury diagnosed, without the wait. They are hiring for a Sports Medicine Physician. The process for ViewFi helps you connect, diagnose, plan, and recover all through a simple application alongside a trusted and premier medical professional.  Next up, this past week, A.T. Gimbel and team hosted another fantastic Atlanta Healthcare Meetup with Ryan Jones, the CEO of Florence Healthcare. Florence frees clinical trials from bottlenecks, so they can accelerate and scale. Sites are drowning under the demands of today's clinical research trials, slowing clinical trials, increasing costs, and delaying cures. Florence's Site Enablement Platform helps sites streamline operations, enable remote monitoring, and integrate study workflows. They are hiring for several roles including a Senior Sales Executive, Salesforce Admin, and several others. We put the link in the show notes and if you didn't watch the live interview with Ryan, I highly recommend listening to our events page. Podcast of the Week: I have not listened to the entire episode because it is 3 and half hours in length and my bike ride is a crisp 30 minutes, but I'm well into it and it comes highly recommended from a trusted source. This podcast comes from the show Acquired and it is the full history of LVMH, and how Bernard Arnault turned a $15m investment in a bankrupt French textile company into the world's largest individual fortune. This story is equal parts Berkshire Hathaway, Barbarians at the Gate, Steve Jobs / Ted Turner etc and worth any entrepreneur's time. We put the link in the show notes. Quiet Giant: One of the Top 10 Most Innovative companies that piqued my interest last week from the TAG Summit was DataSeers. They have over 80 employees.  This is an enterprise solution for fintech and banking operations that helps with onboarding, ACH processing, anti-fraud, compliance, reconciliation, and Analytics. FinanSeer® converts raw transaction data to meaningful information that financial institutions can use to optimize their processes and protect their customers. It cleans data and automates workflows to increase operational efficiency across several aspects of the business. . Feature Release of the Week: Major major release and put I “release” in air quotes as this is a release of physical space, but Intown Golf Club in Charlotte opened their doors this week to the initial Founding 100 members and it was a spectacular event. If you are in Charlotte and love to play golf, socialize, and like good food and spirits, Intown Golf Club is the place for you. The outdoor patio, putting green, and firepit is just the beginning before you head indoors to 8 simulators, private dining, a massive bar and much more. Shout out to the team on creating another special location.   Raise a Glass: You know was I putting together this week's Five and Thrive and was a little surprised there had not been a funding announcement this week of any sort, and then all of sudden, right before I hit send on this bad boy, I see an update that Jason Rubbotom's Clovery just raised a very impressive $19M let by GroTech Ventures. Cloverly built the first API in the world for carbon credits and the company has grown to become the leading digital infrastructure powering the voluntary carbon market. Their software is helping any company scale their impact by providing the infrastructure to supply or buy carbon credits with the click of a few buttons.   Congratulations to Cloverly and team on the next phase of growt!  Annnnnd that's five minutes!

In 2022, U.S. Bank processed $46 billion in freight payments for some of the world's largest corporations and government agencies. Those payments and the data that accompanies them are analyzed quarterly by Bobby Holland, U.S. Bank Vice President and Director of Freight Data Solutions, and his team. The FPI report includes quarter-over-quarter, year-over-year, and full-year data and analysis.Bobby opened the conversation by sharing his five key takeaways from the first quarter of 2023: the trucking market continues to be soft, quarterly and yearly metrics for shipments and spend both dropped for the first time in three years, the Southwest outperformed while the Midwest continued to struggle, and the Southeast saw an 8 percent increase in yearly spend despite 16 percent fewer shipments.In this interview, Bobby was joined by Michelle Moore, Head of Supply Chain at GAF, to share and discuss the results of the Q1 2023 report with co-hosts Scott Luton and Greg White:• Why national shipment volume being lower than spend indicates there is a capacity issue• Signals that the drop in activity in Q1 2023 is more significant than the regular seasonal reduction U.S. Bank would expect• How a decline in manufacturing activity is impacting capacity at the regional levelAdditional Links & Resources:Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.comCheck out our new Supply Chain Now Media Kit: https://bit.ly/3emdLcKSubscribe to Supply Chain Now and all other Supply Chain Now programs: https://supplychainnow.com/subscribeJoin the NOW Community: http://bit.ly/41kpUSOLeveraging Logistics and Supply Chain for Ukraine: https://vectorgl.com/stand-with-ukraine/2023 Q1 U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index: https://freight.usbank.comWEBINAR- How Collaboration, Tail Spend Management, and VMI Can Improve Up and Downstream Communications: https://bit.ly/41jsl85WEBINAR- “Decoding Digital Transformation” – Charting a path forward: https://bit.ly/3VvVc6VThis episode is hosted by Scott Luton and Greg White.

Julia Cathrine Monnin Ducray. Born Julia Monnin, her family was from Switzerland and they had emigrated to Pennsylvania. Living next to them in Pennsylvania, was the Ducray family. The Ducray's had boarded a steamship in France in 1839.  The journey was almost fatal for 15 year old Jean-Baptiste Ducray, his parents and eight brothers and sisters. Southeast of Nova Scotia, the steamship began taking on water. The passengers and crew feared they would sink and began to throw all of their possessions overboard. The Ducray family threw overboard their wooden chest containing $2,000 in gold and everything else they had brought with them. Jean-Baptiste's mother kept only a wooden cross bearing an ivory carving of Jesus.  The ship sank, and everyone from the ship was left shipwrecked on what is now known as Sable Island. They went days without food. They were starving, crazed. A passenger from the ship overheard the ship's crew planning to kill and eat Jean-Baptiste and his father. He hid them by burying them in sand. Luckily, only a day later, a passing ship rescued them. They arrived safely, settling in Pennsylvania, next to The Monnin family.  Julia and Jean-Baptiste Ducray fell in love and were married. When Jean-Baptiste and his brother Jean Claude went West to mine gold in California, it was barely a year into the gold rush.  He was 25 and Jean Claude was 16. They took the  Isthmus of Panama route.   This is the same trip made by Belle Cora, detailed in my book. The route saved thousands of miles and avoided the trip around the southern tip of South America's Cape Horn.  Starting in New York, they made a 2,000 mile voyage by ship to the Port of Chagres on the eastern Caribbean coast of Panama at the mouth of the Chagres river. They took a  bungo, a type of Panamanian canoe for $5 (just under 200 bucks today) for a  4 day river journey through the crocodile and jaguar bearing jungle. That was the easy part.  The men rode a 50-mile trail on mules through the steaming malaria, yellow fever, and cholera ridden jungle to the small outpost in Panama City. They waited there and caught a ship to San Francisco. Many forty-niners did not make this journey. The brothers had now survived two deadly passages together.  Upon arrival, like many immigrants of the time, the brothers Americanized their names. John B, and John C. Ducray.  The brothers traveled to Nevada City and set up camp along the Oregon Ravine on Oregon Hill.  Julia arrived soon, making the journey by wagon. The couple invested in mining and bought properties. In the spring of 1866 on a claim bought for $36 (almost $1300 today) and while cleaning up an old mudslide on the property, Julia's husband found 265 ounces of gold. Equalling over $5000, equivalent to almost $179k in 2023. Julia's husband Jean Baptiste, or John B, was a descendent of one of the Ducray Nine brothers, known for saving the life of the French King "Henry the Great" in the late 1590's. These nine brothers were knighted and awarded with villages besides the Jura Mountains in France. Their new villages contained hills, forests, orchards and beautiful meadows with flocks. John B was born in a medieval chateau at one of these family villages. It had a fountain, a Roman aqueduct and a mill, powered by the creek that ran through the village. He lived there until he was fifteen and learned about engineering the water flow and studied the geology of the nearby caves and quarry. His knowledge helped him later design wing dams and sluices for gold mining and irrigation on his own property. And his interest in geology and hydrology led to consulting on the first reservoir built for Nevada City's municipal water system.  On 35 acres of mining-stripped bedrock in Nevada City, the couple built a fourteen room, two-story home with five bedrooms and large parlors upstairs and downstairs on Orchard and upper broad streets  and re-created the nearly self-sufficient French farm that John B had grown up on. They planted vineyards and orchards of walnut, apple, pear, and almond trees. They had a single milk cow for providing milk, butter, and cheese. They kept honey bees and maintained four acres planted in clover for the cow and bees. They had a huge basement beneath the house that was useful for storing their produce and John B.'s wines and brandies. Julie planted large "cabbage roses"  around the home. It is said that the 150-year-old pear tree John B. planted there continues to bear delicious, giant Bartlett pears. John B. and Julia's home and orchards on Orchard Street are included in the first map of Nevada City, which was  hand-drawn in 1869. Orchard Street was in fact named for John B.'s orchards. For decades the couple would exhibit wines, brandies, honey in comb, peaches, pears, grapes, walnuts, almonds, buckwheat, string beans and potatoes at the local and State Fairs. They bartered or paid in gold for everything that they could not produce themselves. Julia and John B. were fast friends with the French pioneer nurseryman, horticulturist Felix Gillet upon his arrival in town. Felix had opened the town's first barber shop which sold French fineries including pens, stationery, and toys on Commercial Street, just below Pine Street. The couple inspired Felix to plant orchards, and he eventually established a world-renowned 20 acre nursery on Aristocracy Hill.  (Barren Hill Nursery) Nursery Street in Nevada City was named for Felix's nursery there.  Julia and John B. adopted niece Theresa and raised her as their own. The three of them led a happy life. They attended Saint Canice Catholic Church that was recently built and often went to the state fairs, often accompanied by Felix Gillet, who wrote about the events. Gillet often wrote magazine articles glorifying the Ducray's farm, orchards and produce. So did many newspapers of the time. John B passed away after a battle with pneumonia. Penicillin had not yet been developed. Julia was so heartbroken by his loss, she passed away four months later. They were laid to rest in Pioneer Cemetery, across Orchard Street from their home. They left all their properties to 21 year old adopted daughter Theresa Julia.  Felix Gillet and Theresa Julia grew a bond through grief and sorrow and were married.  The couple did not mind their difference in age, Felix was 32 years older than Julia Theresa, or height, Theresa Julia was taller. Theresa Julia took her middle name, perhaps in homage to her beloved Aunt. After they married, Felix added the second-story addition to his established Barren Hill Nursery on Nursery Street (named for his nursery) on Aristocracy Hill. Felix and Julia Theresa remained married for 17 years until Felix passed away in 1908. He also left his properties to Julia Theresa. She ran his Barren Hill Nursery (also known as Felix Gillet Nursery), with the help of head nurseryman George Dulac. Dulac was the son of the Ducrays' and Felix's good friends, Nevada City pioneers Louis and Manuela Dulac. She and George grew up in school together. They had been childhood friends since her arrival in Nevada City. They were married a year after Gillet's death. Theresa are laid to rest in Pioneer Cemetery, beside Jean-Baptiste, Julia Catherine and Felix. 

In the rural Southeast, roadside ditches – known as “bar ditches” – carry on for miles. The term bar ditch probably comes from their construction, when dirt was "borrowed" to build up the road. The ditches are full of water and full of life, these narrow wetlands. Herons stalk the shallow water, stabbing at minnows. Common Gallinules, like this one, swim on the surface. Reeds and bulrushes provide cover for secretive marsh birds like King Rails. Red-winged Blackbirds flash crimson epaulets as they sing, and Boat-tailed Grackles offer their own rough music.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

Introduction: Welcome to Five & Thrive: a weekly podcast highlighting the Southeast's most interesting news, entrepreneurs, and information of the week, all under 5 minutes.  My name is Jon Birdsong and I'm with Atlanta Ventures. Companies Coming Up: A new logo is up at TechRise and this one represents a company in the NIL community building space. YOKE is leveraging the transformative shift in college sports occurring with the new name, image, and likeness legislation. Now universities and athletic departments have powerful software enabling teams to grow a business through building community and engaging with fans. YOKE's software simplifies the process of launching and maintaining an online community while also handling automated payments and reporting for tax and compliance purposes. Led by CEO Mick Assaf, YOKE is growing fast. We put their link: Yoketeam.com in the show notes. Event of the Week: This past Wednesday, the Technology Association of Georgia host their annual TAG Summit at the behemoth Georgia World Congress Center. 800 folks engaged with startups panelists and award winners. Two items of note. Kyle Porter was inducted into the Georgia Technology Hall of Fame and AdPipe, at Top 10 Most Innovative startup was awarded the People's Choice award. Shout out to Andrew Levy on his presentation. This week, on May 10th Women + Tech Meetup takes place at the Atlanta Tech Village. The title of the presentation: Pitching the Best You led by Jacey Cadet, a dynamic and talented colleague of mine. Jacey leads Pitch Practice every Friday at 1:00 p.m. in the ATV  and has helped countless startups not only hone their pitch but strategize around their message, storytelling, brand, and overall comms. The event goes from 12-1:30 p.m. on Wednesday at the ATV. Sign up link is in the show notes.  Product of the Week: With our experience through Intown Golf Club and the renovate of The Killearn Club down in Tallahassee, some interesting golf applications come across our desk and this is one of them and it's called Pinz (Pinz). This product of the week comes out of Mobile, Alabama from a proven entrepreneur. Mike Stashik, who is solving the problem of the complexity of on course competition. For the golfers listening, how many time have you played in a large group or outing and keeping tabs on the game is too much effort. Games either have to be kept simple or there is a calculator used at the end after you've thrown your $20 dollars in. Pinz seeks to bring even more fun to the game by providing software that integrates in the USGA's handicap system and makes game creation, scoring, and competition that much more simple and livelier. If you're in a weekly golf game, check out Pinz.   Feature Release of the Week: Our friends at AnyDistance have launched their 4.0 version of the product this week and it's big. This update is all around enhancing your community. The feature is called Active Clubs through AnyDistance and it's designed to empower and support individuals on their active life journey while fostering a close-knit community of like-minded friends. If you're looking to lead a healthier, happier life by embracing various activities and lifestyles with friends, we put the link to the Product Hunt launch in the show notes. Raise a Glass: Two fantastic raises this week. First is from one we covered not that long ago called Mi Alma. The Arogeti's Jordan and Scott, started a company to support families in need after a lost one. Mi Alma provides the tools and documentation methods to memorialize legacies of lost ones. They raised $1.5M. Congrats to the Arogeti's on taking the next financial step in the Mi Alma journey.  Second, Alan Pledger, the CEO of MakeSwift, announced they raised $3M led by Active Capital. MakeSwift removes the technical barriers marketers face when managing a complex enterprise website. They've done this by creating a visual builder for Next.js which empowers marketers to build and manage these sites using React components that act as custom building blocks in our no-code editor. The technical bar has been lowered so marketers can push copy, landing pages, and make swift changes. Congrats to Alan and team on the raise!  Annnnnd that's five minutes!

JP currently serves with the US Army and reveals his latest covert mission on behalf of US Space Command was to a large underground spaceport where he witnessed hundreds of ships and visitors from different extraterrestrial civilizations. The spaceport is located in mountainous terrain in the general area of Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee, and it uses a unique kind of laser stealth technology to hide the arrival and exit of spacecraft 24 hours a day. JP says his eight-man team was tasked with receiving an advanced healing technology that was needed on an extraterrestrial base on one of the moons of a gas giant. He asserts that barter is central to how US Space Command works with extraterrestrial civilizations. JP shared critical information about the functions and purpose of probes/orbs being released by space arks and extraterrestrial motherships currently moving towards the Earth. Millions of people will increasingly witness these probes. JP believes there is a countdown to a major disclosure event involving orbs/probes. However, they will be disclosed in a confusing way to the general public by the Deep State-controlled media. The Deep State will also use its military/corporate assets to attack some of the ark/mothership probes. Such attacks will provoke the orbs' self-defense mechanisms leading to a contrived conflict designed to confuse the general public even further about the probes/orbs' true purpose. To learn more about Orbs, Space Arks, and Motherships, and why the Deep State fears them, Dr. Michael Salla recommends his upcoming May 13 webinar, which will be available at: https://www.crowdcast.io/c/orbs-spacearks-motherships .

Managing Partner Mike Vahle with Capital Growth StoreGuard joins the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss his focus on community and the growth within the self-storage industry. On the All About Real Estate segment, Vahle joins host Carol Morgan to share an overview of what Capital Growth StoreGuard offers. With a background in real estate development, Vahle has worked with small businesses and large companies such as Walmart and Publix Storage. In January of 2023, Vahle and his business partner, Eric Buchalter, launched Capital Growth StoreGuard – a real estate development and acquisition company focused on self-storage. Capital Growth StoreGuard is an Atlanta-based company that provides solutions to customers seeking more space to store their valuable goods. After a few months in, Vahle and his team acquired a facility in Georgia where they continue to expand and add amenities to modernize the offering. The company is also working on several development projects in the metro Atlanta area and other large metro areas across the Southeast. One of the many reasons StoreGuard is effective and successful is the Capital Growth Buchalter team. As a vertically integrated and well-established real estate development and acquisition team, Capital Growth Buchalter serves as the parent company for StoreGuard. The Capital Growth platform has over 70 years of experience and has delivered approximately 1,500 projects nationwide. With the Buchalter team providing in-house capabilities such as accounting, legal, project management and design, Capital Growth StoreGuard has the ability to take on any project, no matter the difficulty. Vahle said, “The Buchalter team has been a good advantage for StoreGuard!” Setting the new standard for the self-storage industry, Capital Growth StoreGuard provides customers with top-quality services and delivers desirable features, including additional hours of coverage, redundant security measures, climate-controlled units and modernized design elements. Vahle said, “We try to not only keep up but to get ahead of the curve and offer next-level service.” With self-storage facilities rising in popularity, Vahle explains that the typical demand driver for the storage industry is a disruptive life event such as divorce or sudden relocation. In addition to the typical drivers, the 2020 pandemic sparked an increase in the demand for self-storage, with individuals carving out space for home offices, remote schooling spaces and hobby areas. In today's housing market, individuals are beginning to downsize – creating a new market for the self-storage industry. Vahle said, “When you look from generation to generation, the percentage of usage of self-storages continues to tick up.” Tune into the full interview above to learn more about Capital Growth StoreGuard, or visit www.StoreGuard.com.

There's a need for 7 million more affordable apartment units in the country, but the cost of new construction is so high that it's hard to build new apartments and rent them out at affordable rents. That's why municipalities provide tax credits to builders so they can bring these units to market at rents tenants can afford. Lee Harris is President and CEO of Cohen Esrey, a 50 plus year old company that builds affordable apartment buildings in many markets in the U.S. to help fill the insatiable need for affordable housing. Cohen Esrey also acquires existing market rate apartments in growing markets in the Southeast and Midwest. Cohen Esrey operates over 12,000 apartments in the country.

The state Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority board has approved the final version of Louisiana's latest Coastal Master Plan. It's a massive 50-year, $50 billion plan meant to protect the state's eroding coastline. WWNO coastal desk reporter Halle Parker tells us more. A new climate study published in the Science Advances journal has found that more severe hurricanes are likely to travel closer to the Gulf Coast in the coming years. According to the study, this is largely due to the warming of tropical waters, which can trigger changes in the wind that push stronger storms toward the Southeast.  Karthik Balaguru, a climate scientist from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, tells us more about this study and what sets it apart from other research into hurricane frequency. New Orleans was recently awarded a federal grant to help make residents aware of the availability of free broadband internet for those who can't afford it. This new outreach campaign is part of the Affordable Connectivity Program, which comes to the Crescent City roughly a year after the demise of the “smart city” plan. Kimberly LaGrue, chief information officer for the City of New Orleans, joins us for more on the importance of increased access to broadband and how this program will offer federal subsidies for high-speed internet in low-income households.

Investors, angels, African American entrepreneurs, and professional services providers as well. Jim and the PS27 team are top notch so mark your calendars today.   Podcasts of the Week: If you are trying to wrap your head around AI and more specifically ChatGPT, Cal Newport, the author of Deep Work, has a fantastic episode on his Deep Questions podcast. Some of the questions asked and explored include:  How does ChatGPT work? (And should we worry about it?) Is there anything AI won't do better than humans? How will AI end up disrupting knowledge work? Should I quit web development before AI eliminates the industry? Will AI create mass job loss in the next five years? The TLDR in all of these is no, it's not coming for all of our jobs…at least for awhile. All of these questions and more are discussed and explored in this highly recommended podcast. We put the link in the show notes.  Feature Launch of the Week: While some of the specific feature launches are less headline worthy, I love them. Here's why, because these are the mini-milestones that lead to the headlines. It's fun to highlight raises, exits, and events, but the day to day grind is demonstrated through mini-milestones and one of those include features launched. We covered FlowPath a few weeks ago and here they are again with a major product enhancement around mapping and layouts. As a quick reminder, FlowPath makes facilities management software simple and this enhancement now allows their customers to visualize their work orders and upload floor plans, images, and more to create detailed maps of their facilities. Check out the extensive blog post with product demo in the show notes.   Raise a Glass: We have two of them this week out of the Carolinas. The first comes out of Greenville, South Carolina with the company called ScopeStack led by COO Andy Vanasse and CEO Jon Scott. Cultivation Capital, co-founded by Cliff Holekamp, led the $1.5M round. ScopeStack was founded in 2018 and ScopeStack provides a B2B platform that manages scoping and pricing for IT services. Likely a company hiring very soon as well. Congratulations to all involved on the next chapter of the story.  The next raise of the week comes out of the Raleigh-Durham triangle with Levitate raising $14M in their Series C. This round was led by Bull City Venture Partners. Levitate is a communications platform that streamlines anything from email, texting, calendars, notes, and more into one platform to manage it all.
