The "Hungry Summer" and the Stench of Rot. Guest: Patrick Scanlan. Scanlan describes the unique horror of the blight's progression, noting that it struck potatoes both in the ground and in storage. Typically, the summer was the "hungry time" in Ireland as stocks ran low before the new harvest. However, P. infestans ensured that even harvested and stored potatoes rotted, removing any buffer for the starving peasantry. Witnesses described a distinctive, nauseating odor emanating from the blighted fields, which some likened to the smell of rotting human flesh. In previous crises, weather-related failures were often localized, but this epidemic was relentless and island-wide. The complete destruction of the staple crop meant that laborers who relied on potatoes for subsistence were left with absolutely nothing to eat or sell. This biological disaster, coupled with the existing economic fragility of the conacre system, turned a subsistence crisis into a total social calamity that the government was ill-prepared to handle. 81880 FAMINE

I talk with Greg Matson, Senior Vice President and Head of Marketing and Products at Solidigm, about the storage infrastructure powering the AI boom. We get into why AI training and inference require massive amounts of data, how GPUs, SSDs, and data centers work together, and why storage can't be an afterthought for companies building enterprise AI. We also discuss the scale of today's AI data center buildout, how Solidigm is using AI internally, and what this means for the future of work, education, and the skills people will need in an AI-first world.

Hydrogen's production costs are falling fast, but getting the gas from point A to point B remains the industry's overlooked bottleneck. Recorded live at the World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam, Jim Watkins sits down with Dr. Jahan Kanga, CEO of Australian startup RUX Energy, to dig into why storage and transport are still the Achilles' heel of the hydrogen economy. Jahan explains how metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) could cut midstream costs from $10-20/kg to under $1/kg, what their containerized Harmony storage unit means for maritime and off-grid applications, and why the regulatory conversation is finally moving in the right direction.

On this episode, we're talking about something that affects millions of fertility patients—but that almost nobody talks about until the bill shows up: reproductive tissue storage.If you have embryos, eggs, or sperm in storage, you know the drill. Every year, another invoice arrives. Maybe it's $600. Maybe it's $800. Maybe it's over $1,000. Most people just pay it because they assume that's the cost. But what if it isn't? Ali's guest today is Charlie Boyer, CEO and Co-Founder of Generations CryoVault, and he's on a mission to shake up an industry that he believes has gotten way too comfortable charging fertility patients more and more for storage. Charlie's background is actually in financial services and cord blood storage, but after taking a closer look at reproductive tissue storage, he started asking some uncomfortable questions: Why are prices so high? Why don't patients know they have options? And why are so many clinics owned by private equity firms without patients even realizing it? In this conversation, Ali and Charlie talk about transparency, private equity, patient choice, and Generation CryoVault's new Pricing Promise, which aims to dramatically lower the cost of long-term embryo, egg, and sperm storage. They also discuss whoownsyourcare.org, how to find out who actually stores your tissue, and what questions every fertility patient should be asking their clinic. Whether you have embryos in storage right now, you're considering fertility treatment, or you're just curious about where all those fertility dollars are going, this is a fascinating conversation about an often-overlooked part of the family-building journey.For more info, go to https://gencryo.com/IG: @generationscryovaultEPISODE SPONSORS: THE WORK OF ART BOOK SERIESAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe 3-book bundle is now just $49 (normally $79)!The latest book in the Work of ART series, “You Are a Work of ART," is for every kiddo born through ART -- and the people who love them.PHERDALIG: @pherdal_sciencePherDal is the world's first and only FDA-cleared, sterile, at-home insemination kit designed to help people build their families in the comfort of home.

In this week's episode, Carol Schultz sits down with Beth Goff- McMillan, CEO of SKG and founder/CEO of FOLIO, to dig into how office design has completely transformed since COVID—and why most companies are stuck in what Beth calls a "vortex of confusion" about what their workspace should even be.Beth shares 30 years of industry insight on the shift from rigid cubicle layouts to fully open offices to today's hybrid chaos, and explains why the real question leaders need to ask isn't "what furniture do we buy" but "why do we even need an office." They get into what makes employees actually want to come back in (hint: it's not ping pong tables), the most expensive and most overlooked design mistakes companies make, and how a simple employee survey can save a business tens of thousands of dollars. The episode wraps with a look at FOLIO, the tech platform Beth built to drag a notoriously slow-moving industry into the SaaS era.TakeawaysMost leaders are stuck on "what" to put in their office instead of asking "why" they need an office at all.Return-to-office policies alone don't drive engagement or productivity—you need clear KPIs tied to purpose.Employee surveys (before AND after a redesign) can prevent massively expensive, unused investments.Noise and acoustics should be the #1 design priority post-COVID—people need more visual/sound barriers, not fewer.Gimmicks like ping pong and shuffleboard tables rarely get used and often signal a lack of real design intent.Storage and file cabinets are some of the most expensive—and most unnecessary—line items in office design."Resi-mercial" design (home-like textures, plants, varied seating) makes employees feel more connected and productive.Large conference rooms often go underused—flexible lounge spaces can replace them entirely.Workplace design decisions involve far more stakeholders than people expect: C-suite, facilities, HR, IT, and legal.The furniture/design industry is still behind on technology—and AI-driven tools are starting to close that gap.Chapters00:00 Intro: How office spaces have transformed since COVID01:49 What SKG actually does (workplace strategy, design, furniture procurement)03:10 30 years of office evolution: from Dilbert cubicles to fully open floors05:33 The "vortex of confusion"—why nobody has a playbook anymore07:07 Shifting the conversation from "what" to "why"09:24 Three things every workspace needs to succeed post-COVID11:29 "I wanted to earn their commute"—how design changed employee behavior12:48 Why noise and acoustics should be priority #114:21 Dress codes, client expectations, and reading the room16:17 Two things to leave out of your office (gimmicks & excess storage)18:41 Bringing "resi-mercial" design into the workplace23:11 Who SKG actually meets with—from CEOs to facilities to legal25:19 The survey that saved a client from a costly coffee bar mistake28:21 Redesigning SKG's own HQ: what worked and what didn't33:04 The privacy/acoustics fail—and how they fixed it36:47 Why Beth joined SKG and what keeps her there 11 years later39:03 Folio: building the first SaaS tool for the furniture dealership industry43:11 Current bottlenecks: training talent in a fast-changing industry45:00 Final thoughtsConnect With Host Carol SchultzFind more information about our host Carol Schultz and her company at Vertical Elevation, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram.Want to be our next guest expert?

In this episode, Alex Pardo brings back returning guest and Storage Wins fan-favorite Dan Wentzel for an honest, unfiltered look at what two years of grinding toward his first self-storage deal has actually taught him. With lines in the water, offers made, and hard-won perspective to share, Dan sits down to answer the question every aspiring storage investor eventually has to face: if you could go back to day one with everything you know now, what would you do differently?   This is not a highlight reel. It's a raw breakdown of the mistakes that slowed Dan down (chief among them, analysis paralysis) and the mindset shifts that have him closer than ever to closing his first storage facility. If you've been studying, underwriting, and preparing but still haven't made your move, this episode is the push you've been waiting for.   You'll Learn How To:   Break the analysis paralysis cycle that's keeping you from making offers on storage facilities Underwrite a self-storage deal with confidence in 30 minutes or less Use the LMAO Method (List, Meaningful Conversations, Analyze, Offers) to structure your entire acquisition process Make verbal offers without waiting for every detail to be perfect Build real momentum through cold calls with storage owners, even when you don't feel ready Stop falling into the "I should be further along" trap and start taking radical ownership of your journey Take massive imperfect action and collect tiny wins that compound over time What You'll Learn in This Episode   [0:00] Dan delivers the episode's thesis before the intro even starts: perfect action doesn't exist, and waiting for it is the only thing that guarantees you stay stuck   [0:33] Alex sets up the central question: if Dan kept all his experience but woke up tomorrow at day one, what would change?   [1:01] Why hindsight and perspective are the two assets Dan has now that no spreadsheet could have given him   [1:32] Alex runs the "Men in Black" scenario: erasing two years but keeping every lesson, and what it reveals about where Dan actually is   [2:18] Alex reveals on-air that Dan has built a loyal fan base of Storage Wins listeners following his journey throughout season two   [2:55] Dan's honest answer to what took longer than it should have: closing a deal, and why he still knows it's coming   [3:50] Alex breaks down the "I should be further along" trap and why every entrepreneur who falls into it guarantees they stay exactly where they are   [4:34] Dan takes full accountability for his timeline, no blame, no excuses, and explains what that shift in ownership has unlocked   [5:25] Dan names his biggest mistake: analysis paralysis, and walks through the spreadsheet rabbit hole that had him second-guessing a deal he'd already underwritten correctly from day one   [7:16] The gut-punch moment: two experienced mentors reviewed Dan's deal in 30 minutes and landed on the exact same number he'd spent weeks agonizing over   [9:05] Alex's boat analogy: analysis paralysis is a current pulling you out to sea, and taking action shifts the current and brings you to shore   [11:14] The flip side: what activities actually built momentum for Dan, and why doing more of what works is just simple math   [11:39] What today's Dan would tell day-one Dan: don't overthink it, pick up the phone, and learn from every call you make   [13:35] Alex reveals the LMAO Method (List, Meaningful Conversations, Analyze, Offers) and shows how Dan's own three-step answer was the framework all along   [15:24] Dan's final word on massive imperfect action: collect tiny wins, make verbal offers, move to the next owner, and do it again   Who This Episode Is For:   Aspiring storage investors who keep underwriting deals but haven't submitted an offer yet People who freeze up at the thought of cold-calling storage facility owners Anyone who has been told to "just make offers" but doesn't know where to start Investors tying their self-worth to whether a deal closes on a specific timeline Entrepreneurs who know the technical side of self-storage but keep getting stuck in their own heads Anyone who has consumed all the content and just needs someone to tell them to pick up the phone   Why You Should Listen: Season two of Storage Wins was supposed to end with Dan closing his first self-storage deal. And while that close is still coming (and both Alex and Dan know it), this episode makes the case that the most important thing Dan built over 38 episodes wasn't a portfolio. It was a version of himself capable of building one. Two years ago, the thought of calling a storage owner cold terrified him. Today, he can underwrite a facility, have a meaningful conversation with a seller, and submit an offer without breaking a sweat. That's not a small thing.   What makes this conversation hit differently is the specificity of the mistakes. Dan doesn't give you vague lessons about "staying consistent." He walks you through the exact deal he over-analyzed: the spreadsheets, the second-guessing, the mentors who looked at it for 30 minutes and landed on the same number he'd spent weeks circling. That's the kind of honesty you can actually use. And when Alex's boat analogy lands, the current of analysis paralysis pulling you out to sea versus the current of action bringing you to shore, you'll feel it.   If you've been sitting on a deal, a call, or even just the decision to get started, this episode gives you no more runway to hide behind. The LMO Method is simple. The Owner's Code is downloadable below. The blue ocean of 50,000-plus storage facilities is real. The only thing left is the action, and Dan's story is proof that imperfect action taken consistently will get you there.   Follow Alex Pardo here:   Website: https://storagewins.com Schedule a call: https://storagewins.com/call Facebook Group: Storage Wins Community Instagram: @alexpardo25 YouTube: Storage Wins Podcast   If this episode lit a fire under you, the best next step is the simplest one: pick up the phone and start talking to storage owners.

In this episode, we sit down with Sam Knapp, an Alaskan grower and author of Beyond the Root Cellar, to explore what it means to solve the biggest gaping hole in the local food system: winter food security. We dive deep into his journey from chemical engineering and a formative Fulbright grant in Sweden to establishing a successful, low-overhead storage crop farm in Fairbanks, Alaska. We highlight how Sam built a highly viable business on 1 acre by focusing on low-maintenance root crops like parsnips and utilizing efficient, manual systems instead of heavy machinery. Sam breaks down the structural design of his self-built cold storage facility, tips for managing humidity with Inkbird sensors and thermostats, and the reality of fighting thermal mass in the ground. Finally, we discuss how local growers can build predictable, highly profitable “off-season” revenue, his advice on avoiding the "YouTube Academy" trap by finding mentors, and his ultimate mission to democratize cold storage for local communities.Sam's book: Beyond The Root CellarTimestamps [00:00] Intro.[03:34] Shifting local foods from a summer novelty to reliable winter staples.[07:47] Pivoting from a PhD engineering track to an intense physical farm season in Sweden.[17:43] Arriving in Fairbanks and integrating into a resilient community of transplants.[25:03] Operating an off-grid farm through extreme sub-zero winter temperatures.[36:19] Designing a low-maintenance, part-time farm layout to balance summer field research.[46:13] Breaking down the real economics, gross revenues, and net profits of a 1 acre farm.[55:04] Debunking tractor dependency and utilizing manual tools for market gardening.[01:00:22] Structural mechanics of modern root cellars vs. traditional root cellars.[01:23:46] Utilizing residential cooling units and custom micro-environments to preserve crops cleanly.[01:47:47] Rapid fire Q&A, books, fitness and wellness, and traditional dance.SponsorsDubois Agrinovation: Get 10% off by choosing the promo code ‘MasterClass – Jean-Martin Fortier' when you create an account.

Episode SummaryThis week on Home In Progress, Dan dedicates the whole show to bathroom remodels -- why they're trending, and how to think one through before spending anything. He covers the tub-or-shower decision, storage planning, lighting that stops working against you, upgrades worth baking in while walls are open, aging-in-place choices, and a full closing section on painting the bathroom right. A practical episode worth saving if a bathroom is anywhere on your horizon.In This Episode[00:00] -- Bathrooms Are Trending[02:15] -- Start With What Bugs You[05:04] -- Tubs or Showers First[07:45] -- Freestanding Tub Reality Check[10:43] -- Tub to Shower Conversion[13:41] -- Storage That Fits Life[16:15] -- Smart Storage Ideas[18:31] -- Bathroom Lighting Problems[19:25] -- Why Mirrors Make You Cringe[20:22] -- Fixing Harsh Shadows[21:43] -- Layered Lighting Basics[22:14] -- Mirror Task Lighting[23:56] -- Sconce Placement Tips[24:54] -- Shower and Night Lighting[26:02] -- Bulb Temperature Consistency[28:00] -- Remodel Upgrades to Add[30:44] -- Aging in Place Choices[33:52] -- Bathroom Paint Essentials[37:02] -- Paint Cure and Humidity[39:10] -- Prep and Tight Spaces[41:19] -- Ceilings and Caulk[43:05] -- Wrap Up and Store DealsBathrooms Are Trending [00:00]Bathroom remodels aren't overtaking kitchens -- kitchens are still the most popular project -- but bathrooms are closing the gap. They're smaller, usually less expensive, and more manageable. And the daily impact is bigger than most people give them credit for. If a kitchen remodel feels out of reach right now, a bathroom is worth serious consideration.Start With What Bugs You [02:15]Before looking at tile or faucets, walk through the bathroom you have and write down everything that bothers you. Not what you'd love to have -- what actually annoys you about the space right now. A lot of renovations look great but feel disappointing because they didn't solve the actual problems. New finishes don't fix a bad morning. Start with what the bathroom needs to fix, then work forward from there.Tubs or Showers First [05:04]The shower or tub is the biggest decision in any bathroom remodel and where serious money gets spent. Dan breaks it into two parts: what fits your life better (some people love a bath; others haven't taken one voluntarily in years), and what fits your existing bathroom layout. Getting swept up in a vision without looking honestly at the space is where projects get expensive.Freestanding Tub Reality Check [07:45]A freestanding soaking tub is a popular idea that can get complicated fast. Most existing bathrooms have an alcove setup -- tub against three walls, drain in place, plumbing at one end. Switching to a freestanding tub means relocating the drain, addressing the floor and walls after the old surround comes out, and making sure there's enough clearance around the tub for it to look intentional.The alternative worth knowing about: deeper alcove tubs, drop-in tubs, or soaking tubs designed to fit a traditional footprint. These can deliver the soaking experience without requiring a full redesign. Even replacing an older alcove tub with a newer one in the same footprint can be a meaningful gain.Tub to Shower Conversion [10:43]If baths aren't your thing, converting a tub surround to a walk-in shower is often a practical fit for what most bathrooms already have. Plumbing can often stay in roughly the same location, the footprint works, and the project tends to line up more naturally with the existing space than a freestanding tub would.One thing to stop and think about first: is this the only tub in the house? Families with young kids need one. Pet owners often do too. Future buyers may care. That doesn't mean you keep it -- just means the decision should be deliberate.Storage That Fits Life [13:41]Storage isn't the exciting part of a remodel, but it may be the biggest factor in whether a renovated bathroom still feels good two weeks after the job is done. Before choosing a vanity, go back to your list of annoyances and ask honestly whether storage is on it -- and whether it should be.The practical question isn't what vanity looks good. It's what the vanity needs to do. Drawers let you see what you have; deep cabinets swallow things. A vanity drawer with a built-in outlet keeps hair tools off the counter. Storage that matches how you actually live beats storage that just looks organized in the showroom.Smart Storage Ideas [16:15]If the footprint isn't changing, there are usually more options than it feels like. Going vertical -- tall cabinets, shelving from counter to ceiling, built-in storage above the toilet -- can add meaningful capacity without touching the floor plan. Recessed medicine cabinets don't have to look like the metal box from 1978; modern versions are framed, mirror-faced, and look like part of the room. And awkward spots -- a dead corner, a gap beside the vanity -- are worth a second look.Better storage organization inside existing space also counts: drawer organizers, pull-outs, a bottom drawer for towels or toilet paper. Build the answer in. Don't assume things will find a home after the remodel if they haven't found one yet.Bathroom Lighting [18:31]Bathroom lighting is often bad in ways people don't fully notice. One harsh overhead fixture, or a row of bulbs above the mirror, creates shadows on the face -- under the eyes, under the nose, under the chin -- that make people look older and more tired than they are. If you walk into your bathroom every morning and immediately want to look somewhere else, the lighting may be a bigger factor than you think.Why mirrors make you cringe [19:25] -- Most bathroom lighting is designed to illuminate the room, not the person at the mirror. A ceiling fixture in the middle of the room does the former. It doesn't do the latter well.Fixing harsh shadows [20:22] -- Light from both sides of the mirror is significantly better than light from above. Sconces on either side spread light evenly across the face, cut shadows, and make grooming more accurate. If side lighting isn't possible, a long horizontal fixture above the mirror is better than a single small bulb.Layered lighting [21:43] -- Good bathroom lighting usually comes from more than one source. General light -- ceiling fixture, recessed lights, or both -- makes the room usable. Task lighting at the mirror is where the real work gets done. One fixture can't do both jobs well.Mirror task lighting [22:14] -- The goal is light on your face, from roughly face level. That's what reduces shadows. A fixture above the mirror alone usually can't deliver that.Sconce placement [23:56] -- Height matters. Too low creates the campfire-flashlight effect. Too high brings the shadows back. Aim for face-level illumination, and let the person who needs the most help from the lighting make the call on placement.Shower and night lighting [24:54] -- A shower with walls that block the main room's light probably needs its own fixture. A dark shower feels less clean and less comfortable than it should. Night lighting is the thing people forget: a dimmer, toe-kick lighting, or a softer secondary source lets you use the bathroom at odd hours without switching on every bulb in the room.Bulb temperature consistency [26:02] -- Cool bulbs feel sterile; warm bulbs can make whites and skin tones look strange. A warm neutral bulb is a solid starting point for most bathrooms. More important than the specific temperature is keeping it consistent across all fixtures. Mismatched bulb temperatures can make the room feel off in a way that's hard to identify -- paint reads differently in different spots, tile can shift color. Sort out lighting before finalizing paint colors or any other choices sensitive to light.Remodel Upgrades to Add [28:00]When a bathroom is torn apart, some things are much easier to add than they'll ever be again. Worth at least pricing out:Heated floors -- bathroom square footage is small, and if the old floor is already coming up, now is the time to askVentilation -- a weak or struggling fan should be replaced now, not after it causes moisture damage to a freshly renovated roomOutlet placement -- if outlets are always in the wrong spot, fix it while walls are openShower niche -- easier to build in now than to add laterShower lighting -- while the walls are accessibleBlocking for grab bars -- you may not want them now, but blocking costs almost nothing during a remodel and makes installation easy whenever you doAging in Place Choices [30:44]If you plan to be in the home long-term, a remodel is a good moment to make choices that work better as you age. This doesn't have to look like a care facility. Options have improved considerably. A curbless shower can look modern. A wider shower entry feels more open. A shower bench can feel spa-like.

We can't avoid catastrophic warming without also capturing and storing carbon dioxide — both the carbon we've already emitted and the carbon we continue to emit through industries that are tough to decarbonize, like steel, petrochemicals, and cement.Europe is a leader in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), with a goal of storing at least 50 million tons of captured CO2 a year by the end of this decade.So this episode, we team up with Germany-based reporter Sam Baker from the DW podcast “Living Planet.” We follow carbon dioxide from its source at a cement plant, all the way to its final resting place under the North Sea. And we look beyond the hype to see if Carbon Capture and Storage could be a real climate solution. Or just another way for the fossil fuel industry to keep on drilling.

Amazon can take a shocking cut of your revenue before you even count product cost, shipping, and overhead, and that reality is forcing sellers to get far more disciplined about inventory and profit. We sit down with returning guest Chelsea Cohen to talk about what she's learned as SoStocked moves through acquisitions and into a larger corporate ecosystem, and why that shift makes real-time visibility into fees, forecasting, and unit economics even more important for day-to-day decisions.We get specific about the hidden margin killers that sneak up on Amazon FBA brands: storage fees, aged inventory fees, capacity constraints, and mismeasured products that land in the wrong FBA fee tier. Chelsea shares how smart sellers build a regular overstock plan, move slow inventory without panic, and think in contribution margin terms so they can spot which SKUs are quietly draining cash. We also talk through the pricing trap, why raising prices doesn't always work, and how to weigh profit dollars against the workload and complexity that come with higher volume at thinner margins.On the tactical side, we cover wasted ad spend audits, negative keywords, reimbursement opportunities (including AWD mistakes), and how Amazon Warehousing and Distribution can help with inbound and capacity when used as a lever instead of a full dependency. We close by looking at how AI is starting to move from “answer my question” to “recommend my next action” in inventory management, plus what needs to be in place so sellers can trust the numbers.

A new investigation reported that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein covertly rented at least six storage units across the United States from as early as 2003 up until his death in 2019, allegedly using them to stash computers, CDs, photographs, and other materials linked to his homes and his private island Little Saint James. Financial records and emails reviewed by The Telegraph indicate Epstein paid private investigators tens of thousands of dollars to move equipment from his properties into these units ahead of police raids, raising the possibility that law enforcement never searched them and that they may still contain never-before-seen evidence connected to his sex trafficking network.Some of the emails suggest private detectives copied or “cloned” data from drives before storing them, and in one instance discussed holding potentially responsive computer materials requested by attorneys for a survivor of Epstein's abuse. Other correspondence shows Epstein instructed aides to transfer items out of his Florida home when tipped off about impending warrants, and discussed the location of storage contents even while incarcerated in 2009. Because these external storage lockers appear never to have been searched by authorities, there is concern among journalists and investigators that crucial evidence – including digital files predating the trove released by the Department of Justice – could still be hidden from public view.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein stashed secret files in storage units across US that may include unseen evidence: reportBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this episode, Alex Pardo sits down with his longtime co-host and student Dan Wenzel for a season two wind-down conversation centered on the one thing no underwriting spreadsheet can measure: mindset. After 37 episodes of documenting Dan's journey into self storage investing, Alex and Dan pull back the curtain on the real growth that's happened, from near-paralysis on cold calls to confident conversations with storage owners across the country. This episode is a raw and honest look at how confidence is built through repetition, collaboration, and showing up even when you don't feel ready. If you've ever let fear, self-doubt, or the need for a perfect outcome keep you from taking action in your storage investing journey, this one is for you. You'll Learn How To: Build real confidence through consistent reps rather than waiting for a result to validate you Stop letting fear of rejection keep you from picking up the phone and calling storage owners Understand why collaboration with other investors accelerates growth faster than solo study Develop a "be, do, have" identity framework before the results show up Reframe a fumbled call or missed deal as a rep, not a failure Leverage broker relationships over time to sharpen your underwriting instincts Recognize the internal signals (nervousness, butterflies) that tell you to lean in, not back off What You'll Learn in This Episode [0:56] Alex opens the episode with the real obstacle holding most investors back from their first storage facility [1:20] Why mindset, confidence, and identity are the through-line of the entire season two journey [2:34] Alex breaks down the "be, do, have" framework and why most people have it backwards [3:26] Dan reflects on his biggest growth from episode one to episode 37 [4:32] How underwriting reps with other Storage Winners built Dan's confidence from the inside out [5:36] Was there a single light-bulb moment or was confidence an evolution? Dan answers directly [6:08] How an open broker relationship gave Dan a live benchmark to validate his own offers [7:24] Alex shares his ten-year podcasting anniversary and what a decade of reps actually produces [9:14] Why collaboration and a mastermind mentality separate investors who grow from those who stagnate [10:03] What no book or YouTube video can teach you: reading the human being behind the storage facility [13:48] What Dan can confidently do today that would have paralyzed him a year ago [16:34] Alex's personal story about a big opportunity that gave him butterflies, and what his wife said that snapped him back [18:17] Why not closing a deal by the end of the season doesn't define success or identity [20:11] Alex's closing challenge and how to connect with him for your first storage discovery call Who This Episode Is For: Investors who keep learning but haven't made their first offer yet People who freeze up at the idea of cold-calling storage owners Anyone tying their self-worth to whether a deal closes New and mid-stage storage investors who feel like they're "just going through the motions" Entrepreneurs who understand the technical side but struggle with the mental side Anyone who has consumed a lot of content and needs a push to take action instead Why You Should Listen: Season two of Storage Wins was supposed to be about buying a storage facility. And while that goal is still within reach, this episode makes the case that the most important thing Dan built over 37 episodes wasn't a portfolio. It was a version of himself capable of building one. Alex and Dan don't sugarcoat it. Confidence isn't something you feel before you start. It's something you earn through repetitions, through calls that go awkward, through underwriting deals alongside people who are a few steps ahead of you, and through showing up to record a podcast even on the weeks when the journey felt heavy. The "be, do, have" framework Alex references early in the episode is the spine of this conversation: you have to become the person first. The results follow. What makes this episode worth your time, whether you're brand new or already a few facilities in, is the reminder that growth is non-linear and often invisible until you look back. Dan couldn't have articulated his own evolution in episode one. But 37 episodes later, he can talk to any storage owner like the back of his hand. That's not luck. That's what happens when you put the reps in and refuse to quit.

Cosa succede quando il problema non è più trovare lo storage, ma trovare le GPU? E quando i dati diventano così grandi e strategici da condizionare dove e come possono girare le applicazioni?In questa puntata di Cloud Champions Andrea Saltarello incontra Alessandro Dellavedova, Senior Sales Engineer di Qumulo, per una conversazione che parte dal suo percorso professionale e arriva a uno dei temi meno raccontati del cloud: il ruolo dello storage come abilitatore di flessibilità.Si parla di ricerca oncologica, dati non strutturati, cloud ibrido, scarsità di risorse, FinOps e sovranità del dato. Attraverso casi concreti e aneddoti dal campo emerge una prospettiva diversa da quella abituale: non lo storage come semplice repository, ma come strumento per spostare workload, ridurre vincoli architetturali e adattarsi a un mercato in continua evoluzione.Una puntata dedicata a chi vuole capire cosa succede quando infrastruttura, dati e cloud devono confrontarsi con problemi molto reali.

At Infosecurity Europe 2026, Jeanclaude Toma, Chief Executive Officer of Apricorn, joins Sean Martin to reframe where secure storage fits in the security conversation. After roughly four decades building hardware-encrypted drives, Apricorn wants the market to treat storage as a security decision rather than a hardware afterthought. How does a storage device become a security control? Toma points to the device itself: no one reaches the data without the code. Access requires a PIN entered on the drive, and the encrypted vault stays closed to everyone else. The protection travels with the drive and does not depend on the host system. Apricorn builds to FIPS certification requirements, hardens against environmental stress down to the connector, and tests repeatedly so compliance arrives built in. Why does this matter at the macro scale? Toma joined Apricorn three months ago to expand the portfolio and connect storage to the broader security marketplace, from military, government, and aerospace settings to the enterprise. He also hints at new form factors still under wraps. Listen in to hear why Apricorn treats the business and operations behind the product as seriously as the product itself.

In this solo episode, host Alex Pardo gives a candid update on Dan's journey to buy his first self-storage facility — a deal that had strong market demographics, favorable bank financing, and real value-add upside, until one buried spreadsheet assumption changed everything. This episode is a real-world lesson in self-storage underwriting, revenue ramp-up timelines, and what it actually costs to miss a detail in your deal filter. If you're working toward your first storage deal and want to understand how to stress-test your numbers before it's too late, this episode will save you from making the same costly mistake Dan made.   You'll Learn How To: Understand why storage revenue doesn't move like a light switch after acquisition Identify the ramp-up period tab in your deal filter and how to use it correctly Calculate how many net move-ins per month is realistic for your market Stress-test your debt service coverage ratio before presenting a deal to a bank Negotiate from a shoulder-to-shoulder position with sellers when deals need restructuring Recognize when a deal that looks good on paper is missing a critical timeline assumption Surround yourself with a community that can catch what your spreadsheet can't   What You'll Learn in This Episode [0:00] Dan's deal looked solid until one buried assumption flipped everything [0:32] Alex introduces Season 2 and Dan's journey from unemployed to first-time storage buyer [1:09] Why Dan wasn't excited when he finally got under contract — and what that reveals [1:45] Why celebrating each step matters even when you've been burned before [2:06] The market fundamentals Dan liked: demographics, income, population growth [2:31] The bank terms that made the deal attractive — 5.29% fixed for 5 years or 5.99% for 10 [3:05] A cautionary tale: a well-known investor who lost $15 million when rates adjusted on a $70M multifamily deal [4:13] Why Alex jumped on an impromptu Zoom to review Dan's underwriting spreadsheet [4:33] How Storage Wins community member Casey McKillop saved $100,000 on his first offer [6:02] The specific tab Dan wasn't reading correctly — net move-ins and the ramp-up period [7:07] The real issue: Dan assumed revenue would jump from $170K to $210K overnight [7:51] It would take Dan 10 months to reach profitability — and he wasn't prepared to fund it [8:09] The bank pulled out after reviewing the deal more closely [8:59] How to explain debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) to sellers and why 1.25–1.3 matters [10:14] The lesson: growth comes from adversity, and Dan won't make this mistake again   Who This Episode Is For: First-time storage investors preparing to make their first offer Investors who have been under contract before and had deals fall through Anyone underwriting a value-add storage deal and projecting a quick revenue bump Buyers who haven't stress-tested their debt service coverage ratio Entrepreneurs who know the numbers but need a second set of eyes on their assumptions Storage investors trying to understand how ramp-up timelines affect deal viability   Why You Should Listen: Dan's deal had everything going for it on the surface — strong demographics, committed bank financing, and a clear path to raising rents. But one overlooked tab in the deal filter spreadsheet showed that revenue wouldn't jump overnight. It would take ten months to reach profitability, and Dan hadn't budgeted for that gap. That single assumption blew up the DSCR, the bank walked, and a deal that looked ready to close came apart fast. This episode isn't about what went wrong. It's about what you can learn before it happens to you. Alex walks through the exact mistake — projecting revenue as a light switch rather than a ramp — and explains why having a community to stress-test your deal before you go under contract is worth more than almost anything else in this business. The most expensive education is experience. But it doesn't have to be yours. Dan learned this lesson so you don't have to.   Follow Alex Pardo here: Storage Wins Website: https://www.storagewins.com Book a Discovery Call: https://www.storagewins.com/call Storage Wins Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/storagewins Instagram: @alexpardo25 YouTube: Storage Wins   If this episode hit home, share it with someone who's currently underwriting a self-storage deal or about to make their first offer.

This interview is with Jason Flaig of Northwest Distribution and Storage. In this interview, Jason explains his long road into the wine industry and the unique service his company provides. Jason talks about the beginning of his journey that is rather complicated. He started out as pre-med student before he got married and had a family. When he returned to school he decided to pursue a degree in education. When that didn't work out, Jason pursued the law and became a paralegal. After he realized that wasn't his path either, he started working in logistics where NWDS was one of his clients. After developing a relationship with the owner of NWDS, Jason transitioned into working in sales at the company.Jason discusses the purpose of his company within the wine industry. Although it's not usually what people think of when they think of wine, NWDS has a vital role within the industry. NWSD offers service and storage. While the facility is where winemakers store their wine for safe keeping, whether to let it age or store before selling in a temperature controlled facility, Jason believes the true assets the company offers to its clients is their people. Jason uses his newest degree of counseling to facilitate exceptional service for their clients.Later in the interview, Jason talks about how he made his way to the top of the company. Beginning in sales in 2007, Jason took on many roles within the company that helped them succeed. After moving up as president in 2012, Jason and four others bought the company from the previous owner in 2018, and became one of three owners in 2022. Without prior knowledge of wine, Jason asked questions to learn and established a name for his company within the Oregon wine industry.This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at Northwest Distribution and Storage on June 5, 2026.

As AI demand surges, our Asia Energy Analyst Mayank Maheshwari discusses the new multi-trillion-dollar investment cycle to secure the power, fuels, grids and storage that keep modern life running.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mayank Maheshwari, Morgan Stanley's Asia Energy analyst. Today: how AI's rapid growth is forcing Asia into a massive energy buildout across power grids, fuels, storage and dependable energy and power generation. It's Tuesday, June 9th at 8am in Singapore. Every time you ask AI to draft a note, summarize a file, plan a trip or generate an image, the response feels instant and easy. But behind it sits a very physical system: data centers, electricity, cooling, fuel, metals, power lines, storage tanks and ships. There is no AI without energy. And in Asia, the power and energy needs could get much bigger. And right now, we are at a critical inflection point where energy, AI, and security converge into [a] once-in-a-generation investment cycle. We see a super cycle with $5 trillion plus in new investments in energy over next five years, almost double of what we have seen in the past decade. And this has global implications as Asia consumes almost half of the world's energy needs – but produces only about a third of it at home. Energy markets may be global, but energy insecurity is local. It shows up in electricity prices, fuel shortages, factory delays, food supply pressure and household budgets. By 2030, Asia's energy use could rise by about 38 exajoules. That increase is roughly equal to all the energy the Middle East consumes today. Power demand alone could reach about 19 trillion units a year when expressed in kilowatt-hours. That is around four trillion more units of electricity usage than in 2025, driven by data centers, industry, and onshoring of businesses. AI is now part of that demand story. By 2030, data centers could use roughly one-sixth of all new power units in Asia. That makes AI a major new load on the power system. Meeting this demand requires a major investment cycle. Asia's annual energy investment could rise to roughly US$1.1 trillion a year over the next five years. Much of that spending goes into the power system itself: generation, grids, storage and the equipment needed to connect everything. Grids may be the biggest bottleneck. Think of [the] grid as the highway system for electricity. You can build more power plants, but if the roads clog up, the power does not reach homes, factories or data centers. Asia's grid investment needs could reach close to about US$1 trillion by 2030. Transformer lead times have stretched to years in some cases, which shows how tight the equipment supply chain has become. The hardest part is keeping the lights on every hour of the day. Baseload power means electricity that can run around the clock. Asia is adding a large amount of renewable power to its energy infrastructure. But that source depends on when the sun shines or the wind blows. That is why coal, gas and nuclear remain part of the conversation. Storage also moves from useful to essential. Batteries help smooth out renewable power demand when supply rises and falls during the day. Global energy storage installations could rise from about 500 gigawatt hours in 2025 to around 3,000 gigawatt hours in 2030. Powering AI also reaches beyond electricity. Data centers need power, but the system around them needs dependable fuels, grids, batteries, metals, refining, storage and shipping. Electricity has to be generated, moved, backed up and supplied through physical infrastructure. That is why this story pulls in copper and aluminum for grids, fuel refining for transport and petrochemical supply chains, and fertilizers because energy security also connects to food security. The future may look digital, but it will be powered by something far more physical: the largest energy buildout Asia has seen in decades. Thanks for listening.

In this episode, Alex Pardo reconnects with Dan to dig into the financial and strategic reality of his 28,000-square-foot storage facility under contract for $2.625M. This is part 3 of a multi-part series, and the conversation gets raw and unfiltered as they work through the deal's tightest challenge: Dan's initial miss on revenue ramp timing and how it impacts his cash flow projections and partnership structures. Alex uses this live deal walkthrough to unpack the critical thinking required before committing capital and equity to a first storage facility. It's messy, it's real, and it's exactly how serious operators need to evaluate opportunities before pulling the trigger.   You'll Learn How To: Understand revenue ramp dynamics and why projections don't happen overnight Evaluate whether a deal is worth equity and capital when returns are below market expectations Structure deals with debt and equity partners to manage cash flow gaps Identify when an interest rate or term change becomes a caution flag in a deal Design a facility exit strategy before you sign the purchase agreement Run conservative, likely, and best-case scenarios without falling into best-case bias Know the difference between doing a deal for experience and doing the right deal for returns   What You'll Learn in This Episode [00:00] Alex and Dan discuss the three-part series on Dan's 28K sq ft facility deal under contract [01:10] The critical oversight: revenue doesn't jump immediately when you raise rates, it ramps slowly [02:00] How a 2-3 person per month net move-in creates negative cash flow for 5–10 months [03:29] Dan's mixed emotions: value of the first deal vs. whether the juice is worth the squeeze [04:01] Equity structure options: 40% equity with 8% preferred return vs. 12% interest-only with smaller equity [05:41] Projected returns: 9–11% cash-on-cash over five years, annualized 17–18% (below market expectations) [06:37] Alex's philosophy: first deal doesn't need to be a home run, but it has to be a base hit with low risk [08:05] Alex's cautionary tale: his early deals in certain markets he wouldn't repeat, but bar was lower because he was learning [09:24] The decision framework: enough due diligence to confidently move forward or walk away with reason [14:15] Where community homework and market analysis become invaluable in deal evaluation [16:03] Revenue ramp isn't a light switch: it's a slow burn that models must account for with conservative assumptions [16:49] Conservative, likely, and best-case scenarios: don't make offers expecting everything goes right [17:02] Going back to the seller after due diligence to renegotiate price, terms, or structure [17:25] Interest rate sensitivity: if 70–80 basis points breaks the deal, it's a yellow flag [18:34] Partnership scenarios: 40% equity vs. 20–30% equity depending on your time and value contribution [19:15] Exit strategy before entry: you determine how you exit, and rarely do you buy and operate forever   Who This Episode Is For: First-time storage investors evaluating their first deal and unsure if the numbers work Operators with a property under contract trying to decide between partnerships, debt, or walking Investors who've been analyzing deals but haven't pulled the trigger and need a reality check Deal makers questioning whether their first facility has to be a grand slam or just a win Real estate operators learning the difference between deal experience and deal returns Anyone struggling with confidence on deal evaluation, market selection, or partnership structures   Why You Should Listen: This episode does something most storage content doesn't: it shows you the real conversation a smart operator has when a deal is tight, promising, but not yet perfect. Alex doesn't tell Dan "do it" or "don't do it." Instead, he walks him through the thinking process—how to weigh risk, returns, equity dilution, and the value of your first facility against the need to protect your capital and time. The key insight here is revenue ramp. It's the single detail that shifted Dan's deal from "looks good" to "needs more work." In self-storage, you don't buy a 60% occupied facility at a certain price, make some operational improvements, and suddenly it's 90% occupied next month. It takes time. Every month you're adding a few units, pushing rates on the existing base, and slowly building to your pro forma. If your financing doesn't account for that reality, your deal can go negative cash flow for longer than your capital can sustain. The broader lesson is this: your first storage deal should absolutely get you on base. It should teach you how to find, evaluate, underwrite, and operate a self-storage facility. But it shouldn't be a financially reckless trade just to check the box. Do the first one right, and you'll be confident to repeat it faster. Do the first one wrong, and you might be out capital, confidence, and momentum.   Follow Alex Pardo here: Storage Wins Podcast — storagwins.com Facebook — Storage Wins Community (join the group for continued learning and peer support) Instagram — @alexcpardo YouTube — Storage Wins   Doing your first storage facility is a big decision, and the temptation to move fast is real. But as Alex reminds Dan, there's no rush. You're not trying to do a deal for the sake of doing a deal. You're trying to do the right deal at the right time with returns that actually work. If you're ready to evaluate your first storage opportunity with clarity and confidence, head over to storagwins.com/call to schedule a free discovery call with Alex and explore whether self-storage is the right next move for you. The only thing standing between you and your goals is action.

In today's episode, I'm welcoming back Amy Cross from The Cross Legacy to dive into a topic that's more important than ever: saving money on groceries and keeping produce fresh for longer.

We're talking practical tips you can apply whether you're feeding a large family, preparing for garden harvests, or just trying to make your grocery trips stretch a little farther. I learned so much in this conversation — I know you will too!
