Most beginners dramatically overestimate how much capital it takes, and that belief alone keeps them stuck. The truth is, the number you think you need is probably wrong, and the small deal you keep dismissing might be the one that transforms everything. In this episode, Alex Pardo reveals the real amount of money you need to get started, why small facilities are the fastest path to freedom, and how investors inside his community consistently close deals with little to none of their own cash. He breaks down facility sizes, common beginner mistakes, creative financing structures, and the mindset shift that makes funding fall into place. You'll learn the framework for finding great opportunities, structuring terms, and getting the capital to show up. You'll Learn How To: Find and analyze mom-and-pop storage opportunities with real value add Structure deals using seller financing, SBA loans, and equity partners Build trust with operators, lenders, and partners even as a beginner Use the LMAO method to generate leads Think like a transaction engineer so you can close with $0 out of pocket What You'll Learn in This Episode: [00:00] How mindset and deal flow matter more than money [03:00] Why most beginners overestimate capital [06:00] The three types of storage facilities [09:00] How traditional bank financing works [12:00] Buying storage with zero out of pocket [14:00] How seller financing and equity partners make deals possible [16:00] The LMAO method for finding deals and making offers [18:00] Creative strategies that let you close with little to no capital [19:00] Why your first deal is the most important step toward freedom [20:00] How one great facility can change your entire financial trajectory Who This Episode Is For: New investors who think they need huge capital to enter self-storage Action takers stuck in analysis paralysis who want a simple starting framework W2 employees looking for their first cash-flowing deal Anyone who wants to use creative financing to buy a facility Why You Should Listen: Success in storage isn't about your bank account, it's about your ability to find great deals and structure them the right way.

We live in a culture overflowing with stuff—but starving for peace. Storage units, constant upgrades, credit-card debt, the hedonic treadmill… it all reveals something deeper: we want more, but it's never enough. Into that world, Jesus says, “Watch out for greed. Life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” (Luke 12:15) This week, Pastor David exposes the Lie of Scarcity, reveals the Truth of the Father's Abundance, and anchors us in the Hope of the Generous King—a King who became poor so that we might become rich in God.
As the grid transitions to green energy, battery energy storage systems (BESS) are popping up everywhere—from utility substations to residential neighborhoods. But what happens when lithium-ion technology fails? In this episode of The Voice of Experience, host Danny Raines and Fire Test Specialist Josh Dinaburg from the CSA Group dive deep into the reality of battery fire safety. Josh brings nearly 20 years of lab experience to explain why the "let it burn" strategy is often the safest choice for first responders and the environment. We dispel common myths about toxic runoff, explore how AI is revolutionizing failure detection, and discuss the rigorous testing standards keeping our communities safe. If you work in utilities, safety operations, or fire protection, this is the essential guide to understanding the risks and remedies of modern energy storage. Learn More: https://www.csagroup.org/ Contact Josh: josh.dinaburg@csagroup.org Danny Raines, CUSP Book - Legendas of an Ole' Lineman: Order Here Key Takeaways The "Let It Burn" Strategy is Intentional: Contrary to public perception, the safest tactic for large-scale battery fires is often isolation rather than active suppression. Attempting to extinguish the fire can leave "stranded energy" in damaged cells, creating a "ticking time bomb" for secondary events, whereas letting it consume itself renders the waste safer for disposal. Manufacturing Quality is Improving Rapidly: While cell counts in storage facilities are increasing, the failure rate has dropped significantly—now estimated in the "one out of millions" range rather than hundreds. Environmental Impact is Manageable: Extensive testing indicates that water and air quality impacts from these fires are generally comparable to standard structure fires. Runoff has not been demonstrated to cause immediate "forever chemical" threats to groundwater, provided the site is managed correctly. AI is the Future of Prevention: The industry is moving toward advanced Battery Management Systems (BMS) that use AI to analyze temperature and voltage trends, allowing operators to identify and isolate failing cells months before a thermal runaway event occurs. Firefighter Safety is Paramount: The primary risk to first responders is not just the fire, but the potential for explosion and high-voltage hazards. The current standard emphasizes life safety and evacuation over asset protection. Q&A: Addressing Common Concerns 1. What is the biggest myth about battery storage fires? Answer: The biggest myth is that if fire departments aren't spraying water, they don't know what they are doing. In reality, standing back and monitoring is a calculated containment strategy. Active firefighting can waste water and endanger responders without effectively stopping the thermal runaway, so isolation is often the professional standard. 2. Does a battery fire pose a unique toxic threat to the local community? Answer: While lithium-ion electrolytes contain fluorinated compounds, the combustion products are remarkably similar to a typical house fire involving polyurethane furniture or cleaning chemicals under a sink. The smoke should be avoided like any other fire, but it does not generally require unique HazMat protocols beyond standard breathing protection and evacuation. 3. Can technology stop a fire once it starts? Answer: Once thermal runaway begins in a specific cell, the chemical and electrical energy makes it nearly impossible to stop that specific event. However, engineering controls—such as insulation barriers and novel injection systems—are designed to prevent that single-cell failure from propagating to the rest of the battery bank, turning a potential catastrophe into a minor, contained incident. #BatteryStorage #FireSafety #RenewableEnergy #UtilitySafety #LithiumIon #CSAGroup Subscribe to Incident Prevention Magazine - https://incident-prevention.com/subscribe-now/ Register for the iP Utility Safety Conference & Expo - https://utilitysafetyconference.com/ ________________________________ This podcast is sponsored by T&D Powerskills.

Send us a messageA holiday weekend should be simple—family, food, and a safe drive home—but life rarely stays tidy. We kick off with Sunday energy, big thank-yous, and a plan that's equal parts brave and reckless: deep-frying a turkey for the first time. The laughter is real, the caution is realer, and the tip is timeless—lower the bird slowly and keep your eyebrows.From there, the conversation shifts gears into everyday tech and why one of us finally left iPhone for Samsung. Storage nags, clunky updates, and unreliable speech-to-text pushed us over the edge, while Gboard, Google Pay, and strong cameras made the landing soft. It's not about brands; it's about tools that don't fight you. If you drive for work or live in your messages, you'll feel this one.The mood deepens when a guest cancels and we confront our own language and beliefs. We question Bible translations, missing books, and what it means to live by simple, durable values—tell the truth, avoid harm, keep faith personal and practiced. Then we zoom back out to the noise beyond our door: strange booms in the night, rumor engines, political promises no mayor can deliver, crime that tests trust, and the constant urge to blame instead of fix. We don't solve it all, but we keep the center solid: safety, accountability, and compassion.We close with warmth—Rock Hall moments, the White Stripes' awkward history, first heartbreaks, and advice to our kids to guard their hearts and focus on school. It's nostalgic without getting stuck, honest without getting harsh. If you're here for family stories, real talk on faith and tech, and a few hard-won smiles before Thanksgiving, you're in the right place.Enjoy the ride, share it with a friend, and stay safe this week.

When we think of paper flowers, we often imagine something small, intricate, and realistic. But what happens when you scale that beauty up tenfold? In this episode of Paper Talk, Quynh Nguyen, Sara Kim, and Jessie Chui explore the bold, beautiful world of large paper flowers and the practical realities that come with going big. Listen to this Episode to learn: Why large flowers require careful structural planning How to price and protect your work (and yourself) The importance of weather, shipping, and storage considerations Creative ways to include large flowers in your business offerings Creating giant paper flowers is both an artistic and logistical challenge. As Quynh shared, even the smallest miscalculation can cause a flower to droop or collapse. “I watched one of my large flowers start to wilt before my eyes,” she said. “I had to go back and rewire it.” Wiring each petal, reinforcing the base, and using durable materials are essential steps for any large-scale project. For Sara, the biggest lessons came from experience. “Even when my flowers stood perfectly in my studio, they would tip over at outdoor events. Wind, heat, and humidity change everything,” she explained. Over time, she realized that offering large flower installations professionally required more than artistic skill, it required business planning, insurance, and honest client communication. Jessie agreed, adding that the paper flower business side of things can't be ignored. “It's not just about making the flower,” she said. “It's about managing logistics, installation, and liability. Once you step into larger projects, you're responsible for safety and presentation.” So, what should artists know before offering giant paper flowers for events or retail displays? Structure Comes First - Use strong wiring, test every connection, and consider how gravity will affect your flower over time. Hanging or standing pieces should be tested for at least 24 hours before installation. Communicate Clearly with Clients - Set expectations about weather sensitivity and handling. As Sara put it, “Treat paper flowers like real flowers—they're beautiful but fragile.” Plan for Storage and Transport - Large flowers take up significant space. Think about storage, dust protection, and packaging. If you must ship, factor in both the size and fragility—shipping costs can quadruple quickly. Protect Your Business - Event venues often require liability insurance, especially for installations. “Even if you're just setting up a backdrop,” Jessie noted, “you need coverage in case something happens.” Start with One Big Bloom - If you're new to large-scale work, start small. Make one flower for yourself. It's fun, forgiving, and will teach you about scale, structure, and creativity. Despite the hurdles, large flowers remain a showstopper. They command attention, tell stories, and redefine what paper art can be. Whether they're adorning a wedding ceremony, retail window, or photo backdrop, these flowers remind us that art can bloom in any size. As Quynh summed it up beautifully, “Paper flowers can bloom in every size. The key is knowing how to make them stand tall.”
Winter is coming, and so are the big questions for natural gas. From near-record storage levels and shifting weather models to surging LNG exports and price volatility, the natural gas market is facing one of its most complex setups in years. To help sort through it all, Andy Huenefeld, a seasoned energy market analyst with Pinebrook Energy Advisors and managing partner at the firm, joins NGI's Jodi Shafto, senior markets editor, to discuss the major market drivers that could send natural gas prices soaring this winter heating season.

What to do when decades of work are stacked against your walls and you can't remember the last time you made a decision about any of it.You know that feeling when you walk into your studio and see paintings leaning against every wall, flat files overflowing, canvases stacked so deep you've forgotten what's in the back?And underneath it all, that low hum of dread: What's going to happen to all of this?Maybe you've been making work for decades. Grad school pieces, late-night sessions after the kids went to sleep, that stretch when you were working two jobs and still carved out time to paint. It's all still there. And now you're standing in front of it thinking: Did I just waste my best work in obscurity? What was I even making it for?This episode is about how to sort through decades of accumulated work without spiraling into paralysis, and how to turn your studio back into a place where things are happening, not just stored.In this episode:The real reason you can't throw anything away. (Your brain is still waiting to find out if that painting meant something, or if it was just a phase.)Why every painting you haven't decided about is costing you more than shelf space.A 30-minute sorting system that makes the mess feel manageableTwo questions that actually help you decide what stays and what goes. How to tell the difference between a painting that wants to be seen and one that already did its job.The “curate your own retrospective” game, and why pretending you have a show makes you braver, faster, more ruthless (in a good way).What happens when you group your work by something other than chronology, like color, texture, feeling, or that weird leaf shape you kept doodling for three years and forgot about.This episode's for you if:Your studio feels more like a storage unit than a sanctuary You've been making work for years, but the question “What if no one ever sees this?” leaves you deflatedYou don't want to leave your kids (or your executor) shelves full of unresolved choicesYou know there's good work in there. You just need a way to see it clearly again — and decide what it's still here to doDo you spend more time thinking about making art than actually making it? Start things you never finish? Make work and then stack it against the wall, facing inward, so you don't have to look at it?If any of that sounds familiar, I'd love to chat.Click here: savvypainter.com/survey to tell me what's going on.

Amanda Cruise and Ash Patel interview Steven Wear, chief marketing officer of SSSE, about the firm's nationwide self-storage investments and how it's evolving the model through creative financing and energy innovation. Steven explains how SSSE focuses on secondary and tertiary markets to avoid oversaturation and zoning risks, and why they advocate for local moratoriums once they've entered a market. He discusses using substitution of collateral strategies to maximize returns on seller-financed deals, creating a self-sustaining capital engine. The conversation also explores how SSSE integrates solar power, geothermal, and potential data center partnerships to turn storage facilities into power-generating assets, revealing a forward-thinking vision for the future of self-storage.
