In this repeat episode, Jack Herrington sits down with Tanner Linsley to talk about the evolution of TanStack and where it's headed next. They explore how early projects like React Query and React Table influenced the headless philosophy behind TanStack Router, why virtualized lists matter at scale, and what makes forms in React so challenging. Tanner breaks down TanStack Start and its client-first approach to SSR, routing, and data loading, and shares his perspective on React Server Components, modern authentication tradeoffs, and composable tooling. The episode wraps with a look at TanStack's roadmap and what it takes to sustainably maintain open source at scale. We want to hear from you! How did you find us? Did you see us on Twitter?

Today, Heather Creekmore explores the concept of sustainability in our approach to weight loss, health, and spiritual growth. She unpacks how our cultural obsession with quick fixes and urgent physical transformation is often driven by fear, impatience, and even greed—rather than lasting, loving stewardship of our bodies. Heather Creekmore shares her own experiences with unsustainable health practices, lessons learned through her journey, and why so many common diet strategies fizzle out in the long run. She encourages listeners to shift focus toward habits that will support lifelong health—mentally, physically, and spiritually—rather than falling for every “latest trend” diet that comes along. Key topics in this episode: What does true sustainability look like in health and weight loss? Why rapid body change can often signal unsustainable and unhealthy patterns The dangers of fear, urgency, greed, and lust driving our self-care choices How to align your goals with patience, love, and long-term thinking Questions to ask yourself: Is this habit something I can keep up for life? How to invite God into your health and wellness decisions rather than just following the cultural noise Take the Next Step: Join the 40 Day Journey! Are you ready to rethink your approach and start building sustainable, God-honoring habits around your body image and health? Heather Creekmore is inviting you to join her 40 Day Journey beginning right after Easter in April! This journey dives deep into sustainable practices for your mind, body, and soul while helping you process body image from a biblical perspective. You’ll find actionable guides, daily support, and a like-minded community ready to walk this out together.

If you're thinking about starting a nonprofit or you've just started one, I want you to pause and ask yourself one question: Are you building this for impact today, or sustainability tomorrow? Starting is easy. Sustaining is leadership. If you want your nonprofit to grow, last, and be trusted by funders, sustainability cannot be an afterthought. It must be part of the foundation. Build it to last. Not just to launch.

Energy bills are rising, data centers are multiplying, and the grid is straining to keep up. What happens next? For two decades, electricity prices in the United States barely moved. Demand was flat, natural gas was cheap, and the system was largely stable. That era is over. A surge in data center construction, accelerating electrification, and the legacy of years of underinvestment in energy infrastructure have collided to create a system under strain.Nowhere is that more visible than in PJM, the largest wholesale power market in the US, stretching from Illinois to North Carolina, and home to some of the world's most active hot spots for data center development. Host Ed Crooks is joined by Paul Segal, CEO of LS Power, and Melissa Lott, Partner for Energy Technologies at Microsoft, to assess how the system can meet the new challenges it faces.LS Power is a leading developer and operator of electricity generation and transmission, so Paul is right at the heart of these questions. He is making multi-billion dollar decisions that shape the ways that America's electricity gets supplied.He makes the case that competitive markets, given the right rules and durable signals, can deliver the solutions the grid needs. LS Power is pursuing demand response, battery storage, renewable projects, and gas generation simultaneously. And he warns that political interventions, such as price caps, risk weakening the signals that drive investment. The question of who pays is at the heart of the debate. A bipartisan group of state governors got together with the Trump administration to call for emergency procurement of new generation capacity in PJM, with data centers expected to bear the cost. Paul argues this is inevitable. For hyperscalers to maintain a social license to keep building, he says, households cannot be left to pick up the bill for load growth created by data centers. Melissa brings the consumer perspective, noting that US household electricity prices rose 26% between 2019 and 2024, outpacing income growth and falling hardest on the most energy-vulnerable families. The episode also looks at longer-term structural solutions, including the case for more competition in transmission planning and the lessons from Texas's wildly successful CREZ program to build out grid infrastructure.It closes with a discussion of another issue that is high on Paul's agenda: mentorship and training. He believes industry leaders have a responsibility to create opportunities for the next generation, despite the threat to entry-level roles created by AI. There is a huge task in front of us to build the grid of the future, and we need skilled and experienced people to do it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

"Healthcare Without Harm is more of an advocacy organization that works with clinicians and other healthcare workers to reduce the environmental impact of healthcare and pollution as well as climate impacts. And then Practice Greenhealth advises hospitals on how to get there and they do this awards process…(which is) about having people aware of all these different metrics that impact your operational sustainability…(and) raise awareness among the people who are running the hospital and leadership about how they're using water, food waste, where they're buying their food from, their waste hauling costs and the type of waste they're throwing away, their…carbon emissions…and guides." Dr. Anna Goldman on Electric Ladies Podcast "The climate crisis poses a critical threat to health systems and populations globally with projections of 14.5 million preventable deaths and 1.1 trillion in healthcare costs by 2050," the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine said. How can hospitals care for patients and staff  24/7 every day while also reducing its own carbon footprint and stay safe in extreme weather events? Listen to Dr. Katherine Gergen-Barnett and Dr. Anna Goldman of Boston Medical Center in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. You'll hear about: ●        Their creative initiatives and systems to reduce food waste, feed patients and staff better, and reduce energy and water consumption, CO2 emissions, and waste. ●        How state policies directly affect hospitals and communities and can support systems change, even regardless of federal policies. ●        What Practice Greenhealth is and how it's helping BMC and other medical centers manage their unique challenges and reduce their environmental impact and costs. ●        Plus, career advice, such as: "You can do it all, but you don't have to do it all at once.…Enjoy each chapter. There are parts where I've absolutely receded based on what matters most. Recently when my father was ill and dying, I needed to step away from some of my career pulls to say, this is what matters to me….Try as best as you can not to be fear-driven. I think we are so driven by fear that we're never going to be enough, that we aren't going to contribute enough….(Y)ou actually are enough just as you are, right? Take this day, do what you can. Impact the people around you.…Become partners in your career with unlikely people, people who don't think like you, people who aren't doing the same career as you. You'll get a lot more joy out of, I think, your career because of the cross-pollination."

Using the dissolved CO2 content of active fermentations to control your process. Special Guests: Andrew MacIntosh and Karen Fortmann.

Human Leadership in the Age of AI In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, Michael sits down with Merry-Carole Powers, founder and CEO of Unicorn Creative, to explore what human leadership must look like in an era increasingly shaped by AI. Rather than framing AI as a threat, the conversation centers on grounding leadership in self-awareness, compassion, and personal development. Merry Carole shares why reconnecting with individuality, passion, and natural strengths is essential not only for effective leadership, but also for preventing burnout in high-performing environments. Together, they unpack how grounded leadership is becoming more critical as organizations navigate uncertainty, rapid change, and global disruption. Finding Your Unique Business Voice Merry-Carole dives deep into the idea that leadership and branding are no longer about what you do, but who you are. She explains how uncovering and expressing a unique personal and business voice creates stronger emotional resonance with clients, customers, and teams. This shift toward authenticity helps build healthier company cultures and more sustainable businesses. The discussion also highlights internal leadership, the practice of leading yourself first by understanding your values, motivations, and identity beyond titles or external expectations. Burnout emerges as a key theme, with Merry Carole emphasizing that self-knowledge and authentic expression allow people to align their work with what genuinely matters to them, reducing exhaustion and disengagement. Empowering Humanity Through Technology Michael and Merry Carole explore how AI and technology can be leveraged to support humanity rather than replace it. They discuss the importance of honoring individuality in the workplace, especially among younger generations who prioritize meaning, flexibility, and authenticity. Merry Carole shares her perspective on using AI to eliminate low-value tasks so people can focus on creative, relational, and purpose-driven work. Michael adds the concept of a “corporate bucket list” as a way for leaders to intentionally plan for innovation, culture-building, and future-focused initiatives. The episode closes with a reminder that time is more than money, and that human connection, including in-person interaction, remains irreplaceable when it comes to trust, creativity, and meaningful leadership. Key Themes: Human-centered leadership in the age of AI Identity, authenticity, and burnout prevention Using technology to create space for creativity and connection Leading yourself before leading others A timely conversation for leaders who want to scale impact without sacrificing humanity.   Merry Carole Powers is a recognized expert in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), as well as a creative leader with over two decades of experience shaping global brands and corporate cultures. As Creative Director for Sustainability, Purpose, and DEI at Deloitte, she led initiatives that embed human-centered values and inclusive practices into the core of business strategy. Her professional journey includes senior creative and content strategy roles at leading organizations such as Deloitte, Vanguard, and Leo / Publicis Worldwide, where she has driven brand awareness and innovative campaigns while championing individuality and purposeful impact. Powers is deeply passionate about empowering people to transcend societal labels and embrace their unique strengths. Her book, The Great Human Rebrand, challenges conventional thinking about identity and advocates for a more authentic, inclusive approach to personal and professional development. The book challenges our traditional approach to careers and life and offers a fresh perspective on how to navigate the complex landscape of modern business while maintaining a focus on humanity and unity. She is also the founder of Unicorn Kreative, a Philadelphia-based company dedicated to unlocking human and business potential through strategic storytelling, culture building, and purpose-driven creativity.  https://www.greathumanrebrand.com/

This week on Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, is thrilled to be in conversation with our city's new Sustainability Director! In January, Jake Medley was named as the new Executive Director of the Louisville Mayor's Office of Sustainability (OS). Learn more about the Office of Sustainability and access tons of great resources at https://louisvilleky.gov/government/office-sustainability Jake first joined the OS in February 2024 and has been driving efforts to expand its programs. He filled in as interim director back in September, and has kept busy: • Reorganizing the office budget and allocating funding for a new energy efficiency & weatherization program for Louisville residents to be deployed this year. • Helping deliver a record $11.5M in green economic development in 2025 between the Solarize, Cool Roof, and EPAD programs. • Helping secure residential solar net metering protections for Louisville ratepayers, including over 300 Solarize participants. Read more: https://louisvilleky.gov/news/mayor-greenberg-names-new-executive-director-office-sustainability Don't miss Earth Fest on Saturday, March 28th, from 1:00 - 5:00pm, at Alberta O. Jones Park, 744 S 23rd St. OS, Parks Alliance of Louisville, and partners are bringing back this Louisville Earth Month kickoff event. This community festival will feature free local burritos on compostable diningware, music, performances, art, sustainability activities, a park tour, green business displays, and local resources - all in celebration of our planet. Learn more at https://bit.ly/EarthFest2026 Currently, Jake is helping launch the Louisville Green Bank - the first of its kind in Louisville. The Mayor's Sustainability Office houses a collection of programs that serve as the foundation of the budding Louisville Green Bank: * The Solarize Louisville Program provides a 12-18% discount on residential and small commercial solar panel installations. The program is in its 5th year of operation and has produced over 300 projects. Solarize Louisville had a record year in 2025, likely due to the sunset of residential clean energy tax credits. Credits are still available, however, to commercial projects so long as they are in service by the end of 2027, so the program will be catering outreach to non-profits interested going solar. * The Cool Roof rebate program is an initiative in which Louisville is a national leader. Cool Roof products reflect sunlight and keep properties cooler, requiring less work from AC systems in warm weather. Since 2017, Metro has delivered over 400 Cool Roof projects to residents, non-profits, and businesses covering a total of 1.4M sq ft of Louisville roof top. Louisville Metro has deployed over $800K in rebates and every dollar returns an estimated $5-6 in avoided energy costs over the lifetime of a cool roof. * EPAD – The Energy Project Assessment District is a property assessed clean energy (PACE) financing tool that structures sustainability upgrades for commercial projects in end of year property tax bills. We had two EPAD projects downtown last year totaling $7.5 million worth of energy upgrades (Derby City Lofts and Zen NuLu). Metro is working through a grant process now that will unveil the Green Bank in an official manner while setting us up for additional phase of funding. As always, our feature is followed by your community action calendar for the week, so get your calendars out and get ready to take action for sustainability NOW!

In this insightful episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston welcomes Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj, a board-certified interventional cardiologist who transitioned from emergency heart procedures to the world of functional and integrative medicine. Dr. Bhojraj shares his "origin story," explaining how a decade of performing "oil changes" on the heart led him to realize that conventional medicine was missing the most critical part of the equation: the mental, emotional, and spiritual lifestyle factors that drive chronic disease. The conversation dives deep into the "lost 20 years" where metabolic issues brew silently before a cardiac event occurs. Dr. Bhojraj introduces his Well12 program, a science-based approach to reversing insulin resistance and inflammation through light optimization, sleep, and whole-food nutrition. They also tackle the modern craze of GLP-1 medications, discussing how to use them as a "slingshot rather than a crutch" by prioritizing muscle preservation and long-term lifestyle shifts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the APA podcast, Roberta Rewers, senior communications manager, explores the 2045 Unified Plan from Gwinnett County, Georgia, recipient of the Daniel Burnham Award for a Comprehensive Plan in the 2025 National Planning Awards. Joined by Yang Chen, Planning Division director at Gwinnett County, and Allison Stewart-Harris, lead consultant with TSW, they discuss how the plan reimagines suburban planning through a “mode-agnostic” approach to the 15-Minute City—prioritizing access to daily needs no matter how residents travel.

In today's episode, we're speaking Gabriel Shohet, Co-founder of of UK coffee trailblazer Black Sheep Coffee.Founded in 2013 with friend and business partner Eirik Holth, Black Sheep had a bold vision: to champion specialty-grade robusta at a time when the industry was almost entirely focused on arabica. Since then, the brand has achieved remarkable success, scaling to over 130 outlets across five markets and capturing the attention of a new generation of coffee drinkers along the way. In this conversation, Gabriel reflects on Black Sheep's philosophy of challenging the status quo and choosing not to blindly follow industry trends. He also shares insight into the brand's US expansion strategy – targeting Sunbelt states like Texas and Florida over more well-trodden markets such as New York and LA – to show the model resonates with a broader, more inclusive American audience.Credits music: "Shock Me" by Gina Zo in association with The Coffee Music Project and SEB Collective.

In this inspiring episode of Beyond the Design, we welcome Summer Jensen, founder of Hawk and Company, whose design philosophy merges luxurious minimalism with deep Hawaiian values and a profound connection to nature. Growing up in Hawaii climbing waterfalls and spending afternoons at the beach, Summer wasn't exposed to traditional architecture the way mainland children might be—but that absence became her greatest strength. When she arrived at school on the mainland, she discovered a whole world of design that had been waiting for her, and she's spent her career capturing "moments of awesomeness"—spaces that evoke the serenity of walking through a rainforest or sitting peacefully on a beach, bringing those emotional experiences into the built environment.Summer shares the meaning behind her firm's name Hawk and Company, explaining the Hawaiian concept of aumakua (spirit protectors) and how she was named after the hawk—Kamali'i Hokua Ka'iolani, meaning "the royal star child of the heavenly hawk." She discusses how working on ultra-luxury projects in London and Monaco exposed her to the environmental cost of high-end design, inspiring her shift toward sustainability without compromising beauty or quality. During COVID, when hundreds of ships backed up at the Port of Long Beach, Summer made a pivotal decision: rather than wait for imported stone, she visited local yards and sourced hundreds of slabs that had been discarded—cracked in transmission or considered imperfect—and transformed them into tiles and finishes that elevated craft over material cost. This project recently earned her the DNA Paris Award for Sustainability, her first sustainable design recognition.The conversation explores Summer's philosophy that luxury isn't a commodity but an experience—it's not about the cow skin of a handbag, but the farmhand who raised unmarred calves, the tannery worker who created supple texture, and the maker's craft that brings it all together. She discusses her approach to biophilic design (going beyond obvious greenery to integrate nature through circulation patterns, seasonal light, and even room placement that follows sunrise to sunset), her commitment to asking vendors hard questions about sourcing and sustainability, and why she believes designers have a duty to consider health and safety in homes where people spend 90% of their lives. With insights into her background as a professional hula dancer who traveled the world before discovering design, her pre-dawn work sessions where she draws every single detail herself, and her next frontier of developing sustainable housing with integrated food systems and net-zero energy, this episode offers wisdom about creating spaces that honor both people and planet.

How can technology be used in the fight against modern slavery? This week, Technology Now is exploring the impact of modern slavery and how technology can be used to try and reduce it. We ask what the scale of the problem is today, we examine what modern slavery can look like, and we discuss how organisations and consumers can work together to try and combat this practice. John Schultz, Executive Vice President, Chief Legal and Administrative Officer and Corporate Secretary for HPE, tells us more.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week, hosts Michael Bird and Sam Jarrell look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations.About John:https://www.hpe.com/uk/en/leadership-bios/john-schultz.htmlSources https://www.hpe.com/us/en/newsroom/blog-post/2025/12/when-good-intentions-are-not-enough-the-importance-of-data-and-ai-in-solving-the-modern-slavery-epidemic.htmlhttps://www.hpe.com/uk/en/leadership-bios/john-schultz.html

Realities Remixed, formerly know as Cloud Realities, launches a new season exploring the intersection of people, culture, industry and tech.After years of remote‑first work built on swift trust, companies are asking a harder question: what does a organization really stand for when people rarely show up together? As AI accelerates change, leaders are rethinking presence, team design, and collaboration to fuel trust, innovation, and growth. This week, Dave, Esmee, and Rob are joined by Dr. Tim Currie, disruptor, author, innovator, and advisor, to examine transformation versus trust, the role of AI, and whether organisations can truly build culture without deeper human connection. TLDR00:42– Introduction01:10 –  Hang out: New film releases07:17 – Dig in: The trust gap in remote work17:57 – Conversation with Dr. Tim Currie54:07 – The Wizard of Oz at the Sphere in Las Vegas and staying connected GuestDr. Tim Currie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-tim-currie-37756a/Book Swift Trust: https://swifttrustbook.com/HostsDave Chapman:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/Esmee van de Giessen:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/esmeevandegiessen/Rob Kernahan:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-kernahan/ProductionMarcel van der Burg:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcel-vd-burg/Dave Chapman:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/ SoundBen Corbett:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-corbett-3b6a11135/Louis Corbett:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/louis-corbett-087250264/ 'Realities Remixed' is an original podcast from Capgemini

3V Infrastructure finances EV charging infrastructure for multifamily real estate owners, removing upfront cost as the blocker to deployment. Ben Kanner breaks down how they built a channel-first GTM, why they deliberately stripped sustainability from their pitch, and how they're reworking their funnel after deals started stalling mid-stage.Topics Discussed:Why multifamily EV charging is uniquely hard to finance and deploy at scaleStripping sustainability from the pitch and leading with NOI and amenity valueFinding the right internal champion: ancillary revenue over sustainability titlesBuilding a channel partner program as a lean team without eroding partner marginGoing enterprise from day one and the deal-size math behind that decisionDiagnosing a mid-funnel stall and revamping talk tracks in real timeRunning a small SDR function alongside channel for targeted key account outreachKey GTM Insights:Lead with NOI, not sustainability. 3V made a deliberate decision from day one to never pitch climate or sustainability. The frame is strictly financial: EV charging as an amenity that brings residents in, supports rent growth, and drives NOI. In real estate, NOI plus a cap rate equals property value, and that math is what moves the deal. "Whether you're red or you're blue or you're purple or you're pink, it is really not about politics, it is not about climate, it is not about sustainability. For us, this is an amenity."Map the org before you pick your entry point. Inside large commercial real estate organizations, the decision maker and the champion are almost never the same person. Ben identified a role he didn't know existed before entering the space: the ancillary revenue director. These stakeholders own incremental property revenue and are directly aligned with what 3V sells. "Some of my best counterparts and my best partners are in the ancillary revenue departments because they do care about the things that we can help them with — which is generating more revenue for their properties."Channel economics only work if partners want to sell you. 3V's GTM is built around EPC contractors, hardware providers, and software companies who already have trust with commercial real estate owners. The structural risk: if 3V squeezes partner economics, those partners route deals direct. Ben's rule is straightforward. "We can't just beat them down on price because then they're less likely to sell to us... you kind of got to leave some meat on the bone for everybody." The target this year is 75% of leads from partners, 25% self-originated through outbound and conferences.Enterprise from day one because the math demands it. Ben's framing on deal selection is direct: "It's just as much work to sell a hundred thousand dollar contract as to sell a million dollar contract." Given 3V will never be a large headcount business, he made an early call to go upmarket and stay there. He started with a Rolodex from his prior EV charging OEM role and expanded from there.When deals stall mid-funnel, change the message, not the motion. 3V built a stage-by-stage funnel view and found the problem: deals were entering but not converting. Ben's read is that declining multifamily rents have shifted what property owners care about, and the old pitch needs to adapt. "What was working for us last year doesn't seem to be working for us right now." The new hypothesis: shift from profit-share upside to operational relief. "We want to lean into, hey, we're the easy button."// Sponsors: Front Lines — Silicon Valley's leading Podcast Production Studio.

The London skyline is undergoing perhaps its most significant transformation in decades as a new ‘vertical renaissance' is sending tremors of excitement from Guildhall to Mansion House. The City of London Corporation says that over half a million square metres of office space was granted planning permission in the City in 2025, equivalent to more than ten ‘Gherkins' with around half of this amount already under construction.  This includes the leviathan 309.6m ‘1 Undershaft' which will be as tall as the Shard when completed. But it is not all about the capacity, unlike the Financial Fortresses of the 20th century, as the earlier skyscrapers in the City were sometimes called, the new structures will be more open to the street, with pedestrian access, parks and commercial arcades, to make the city feel more vibrant and less sterile, than it has to previous generations. The City's largest office building, 22 Bishopsgate has led the way in a period of challenging economic headwinds, fully occupied and seeing record high rents, it is perhaps the first of these post-financial crash, vertical villages in the Square Mile that can be considered part of this renaissance.

Host Amy Nicklaus talks with Peter Okun, Editor of Manufacturing Podcast News, about what a PMI move above 50 really means after months of contraction and why the current reading signals disciplined stabilization rather than an overheated surge. They discuss how global steel output—especially shifts in China—drives price volatility and why manufacturers are prioritizing regional sourcing, longer-term contracts, supplier diversification, and data-driven planning to manage risk. Okun also highlights rising ransomware exposure for mid-size manufacturers, emphasizing that downtime, trust, and reputation costs often outweigh ransom itself, and recommends basics like MFA, tested offline backups, training, and response protocols. The episode covers tariff unpredictability and regionalization, workforce strategies amid a persistent skills gap, thoughtful AI adoption to improve morale and productivity, and why adaptability, resilience, digital visibility, and sustainability will define competitiveness over the next three to five years.   00:00 Welcome and Agenda 01:01 PMI Above 50 Explained 02:32 Recovery or Bounce 03:28 Executive Playbook Now 04:15 Early Expansion Risks 04:57 Global Steel Ripple Effects 06:10 Sourcing for Reliability 07:12 Is Globalization Fading 07:27 Ransomware Reality Check 09:05 Cybersecurity Basics 09:50 Tariffs and Regionalization 10:33 Adapting Supply Strategies 11:44 Workforce and AI Shifts 12:24 Skills Gap and Training 13:29 AI Morale and Reskilling 14:50 Winning Mindset Ahead 15:24 Next 3 to 5 Years 16:31 Sustainability as Strategy 17:07 Key Takeaway Recalibration 17:46 Wrap Up and Where to Follow   Further reading: At Last: Institute for Supply Management Manufacturing Index at 52.7 Percent - https://manufacturingtalkradio.com/news/at-last-institute-for-supply-management-manufacturing-index-at-52-7-percent/   Global Steel Output Is Slipping, and the Reasons Go Deeper Than One Bad Month - https://manufacturingtalkradio.com/news/global-steel-output-is-slipping-and-the-reasons-go-deeper-than-one-bad-month/    Why Ransomware Is Hitting Mid-Sized Manufacturers Harder Than Ever - https://manufacturingtalkradio.com/news/why-ransomware-is-hitting-mid-sized-manufacturers-harder-than-ever/   How USMCA and New Tariffs Are Rattling U.S. Manufacturing - https://manufacturingtalkradio.com/news/how-usmca-and-new-tariffs-are-rattling-u-s-manufacturing/  Learn more about your ad choices.

Tanker traffic dries up, oil, gas and fertilizer prices soar, and the world holds its breathThe Strait of Hormuz has long been discussed as one of the single greatest vulnerabilities in global energy supply. Now the risk has become reality. Host Ed Crooks is joined by Amy Myers Jaffe, Director of NYU's Energy, Climate Justice and Sustainability Lab, and Chris Aversano, Director of Maritime Partnerships at Wood Mackenzie, to assess what the disruption means for energy markets, supply chains, and the people at the centre of it all.Oil prices briefly spiked to around $119 a barrel before falling back. European natural gas prices have nearly doubled. But those numbers only tell part of the story. In normal times, between 150 and 175 ships would pass through the Strait of Hormuz every day. Since the war began, that has fallen to perhaps 10 to 12 a day. The Strait is a vital artery for the world's energy and fertilizer supplies. If it is blocked for long, the results could be catastrophic.Amy puts the market's reaction in context. She has been studying the Strait of Hormuz since the 1990s, and says that although the geography is still the same, the technology is different. The threat from drones, drone boats, and other weapons of asymmetric warfare may be harder to neutralise than the weapons that shaped earlier thinking. As she puts it, modern threats to shipping are “not your father's Oldsmobile”.Chris highlights the human dimension of the conflict. An estimated 20,000 seafarers are currently trapped inside the war zone, alongside a further 15,000 people on cruise ships and ferries. Seven merchant mariners have been killed so far, in 13 confirmed or suspected attacks. These are civilians, Chris reminds us: workers sending money home to countries such as the Philippines, Bangladesh and India, or in Eastern Europe, who never expected to find themselves victims of an armed conflict.The discussion also gets into the practicalities of what it would take to restore flows through the Strait. The US government has announced a $20 billion insurance facility to cover hull, machinery and cargo for ships in the Gulf. As Chris explains, that still leaves indemnity insurance, covering liability for spills and other damage, entirely unaddressed. A fully-laden VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) tanker and its cargo is worth upwards of $300 million. Cleaning up a spill of its cargo of 2 million barrels of oil could cost multiples of that.Routes to bypass the Strait of Hormuz are already being activated. Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline to Yanbu, on the Red Sea coast, has seen throughput surge from around 730,000 barrels a day to as much as 2.5 million b/d. The UAE pipeline to Fujairah offers additional relief. But as Amy makes clear, these routes cannot come close to replacing the Strait of Hormuz in full. They do not help Iraq or Kuwait. They carry no LNG. And for refined products, there is no pipeline alternative at all.The episode closes with a broader look at what this crisis means for the future of energy. Amy argues that it reinforces the case for clean technology: when an oil price shock arrives, investment in renewables, EVs, and energy storage tends to follow. Ed points to Europe, now seeing its gas prices spike for the second time in four years, as a place where the arguments for renewables, nuclear, transmission, and demand response are becoming even harder to ignore. Green hydrogen could also benefit, thanks to potential for replacing natural gas in fertilizer supply chains.

Ranking the best coffee shops in the world is a task that sounds like a neat idea! That is until you realize the sheer impossibility of such a task not to mention the cognitive dissonance required to pretend like the results of such a ranking are in any way definitive  or substantive. The world of coffee shops thrives on professional pursuits related to criteria anchored in locality and the nuance of that community's values.  On today's episode we will be talking about what we can learn from the World's best rankings stated criteria for cafe judging and why we, our staff, and our customers are the only ones who can truly decide on whether or not the criteria they allegedly consider are actually being carried out in ways that objective and meaningful. I will also add a few things they do not consider that are glaringly omitted but crucial to the quality of any shop.  The listed criteria we are told is considered but not told what it means.   -Quality of coffee -Barista Expertise -Customer Service -Innovation -Ambience and atmosphere -Sustainability practices -Food and pastry quality -Consistency -Community Left out:  Regular customer experience of the above criteria Staff experience of the shop and leadership    Related Episodes: 485: Your Shop vs The Industry – How to Free Yourself From Dependency Your peers are not your Customers   KEY HOLDER COACHING GROUPS 2026!

Sustainability is at a pivotal moment. Amid political backlash, greenhushing, and growing scrutiny of ESG and DEI, many have questioned whether the movement has lost momentum. We invited Andrew Winston, globally respected sustainability advisor, bestselling author, and recently named #1 management thinker in the world with Paul Polman by Thinkers50, to share his perspective on where sustainability truly stands. Drawing on his recent Fortune article, “2025: The Year Sustainability Didn't Die,” Andrew explains why critics have misread the signals. While companies may be quieter publicly, the underlying drivers of climate impacts, demographic shifts, market forces, and technological innovation continue to accelerate action across sectors and geographies.This conversation explores where meaningful progress is unfolding, from China's rapid expansion in clean energy and electric vehicles to investments in decarbonization and electrification. Andrew examines why sustainability is often held to a higher ROI standard than other business investments, how leaders can better articulate long-term value creation, and what courage looks like in today's climate of uncertainty. This conversation ultimately centers on a deeper question facing every executive: Is the world better off because your business is in it?Listen for insights on:Why sustainability continues despite political backlashMaking a stronger ROI case for sustainabilityBalancing AI innovation with decarbonization goals Resources + Links:Watch this conversation on YouTubeAndrew Winston's WebsiteFortune: 2025: the year sustainability didn't dieNet PositiveAndrew Winston's Books (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (01:07) - Meet Andrew Winston, Winston Eco-Strategies (05:07) - Andrew's Background (07:05) - Evolution of Sustainability (09:16) - Purpose and Sustainability (10:18) - Fortune Article (12:02) - CEO Characteristics (14:33) - Flourishing (15:20) - AI and Energy Demand (19:10) - ROI Metrics (21:31) - Courage Is Critical (24:02) - Health and Sustainability (25:00) - Deciding Where to Invest (26:16) - Truly at Risk (28:45) - One Non-Negotiable (29:42) - Last Word (30:48) - Wrap Up

Tim Nagy of Samsara talks about tech & AI: what workers really think; agility; retaining talent; & shifting from reactive to predictive road safety & logistics.    IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [02.41] An introduction to Tim, his role as a sales engineer, and a reminder of how Samsara helps their customers. "You get two different kinds of engineers: the kind who don't really want to be out in the field talking to customers, they do the coding and product development. And then you get my team, who love to be out there. We get to see a lot of different tech, and a lot of different businesses!" [04.34] The biggest conversations happening at Manifest 2026, are about the impact of AI across the industry. "There's a lot of talk about the impact of AI on supply chain and operations." [06.59] How Samsara can monitor real-time issues, from weather to driver behavior, to help businesses shift from reactive to predictive road safety and logistics. "Our job is to prevent accidents before they happen and AI, tech in general, is making that possible now. We're able to detect when a driver is becoming drowsy… and tell the driver to pull over." [09.56] Samsara's recent advert at the Super Bowl, and their first celebrity coaching avatar. [11.42] How Samsara see workers thinking about technology and AI, and a real-world example of driver feedback on Samsara solutions. [14.33] How technology and AI can help businesses attract and retain talent, and Samsara's success with the gamification of driver safety. "Driver churn is a big issue, it's hard to keep people employed and happy in a role that can be physically challenging and difficult… When you make their lives easier, it makes the world of difference." [17.41] The continuing problem of data siloes, how Samsara are helping bridge the gap, and why that's so important. "Companies have data in many different systems – even in physical operations, it's not uncommon for us to speak to people who have more than 10 systems just for transportation. And when data exists in different environments, it's almost impossible to make any correlations between it – even with AI." [22.01] Why unification is so important, and how siloes prevent the success of new technology projects. [23.31] The role of technology in supply chain agility. [25.56] From routing efficiency to idling reduction, how sustainable decisions can also be leveraged for cost savings. "A big part of environmental responsibility comes from using fuel efficiently, but right now it's surprising how many vehicles are still idling in supply chain fleets… If you take control of idling you can really drive down cost, and help the environment." [28.48] The big challenges and opportunities for Samsara customers and the industry over the next year.   RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:   Head over to Samsara's website now to find out more and discover how they could help you too.

How do you create a sustainability program when there's no roadmap, limited resources, and teams that need convincing? On this episode of Power Supply, we're joined by Chris Sanchez, Director of Sustainability and Resilience at Baptist Health South Florida, to explore how healthcare organizations can turn environmental goals into practical, measurable action. Chris shares how he built a sustainability strategy from scratch—from identifying core metrics like greenhouse gas emissions to collaborating across supply chain, facilities, and clinical teams—and breaks down where hospitals have the biggest environmental impact, from energy use and anesthetic gases to everyday purchasing decisions. Whether you're leading sustainability efforts or wondering where to start, this conversation shows you how to make healthcare supply chains smarter and greener without compromising care or budgets.

The push for net zero has become a new arena for class conflict, where the powerful profit and the rest suffer. Existing policies won't limit global heating to anything close to a safe level. Claims of sustainability disguise a zero-sum battle where the powerful profit and everyone else foots the bill. Green growth was supposed to bring increased wealth for all. Instead, work has been degraded, energy bills have soared, and the most basic necessities have become expensive and scarce. We need to disrupt green capitalism. In Or Something Worse: Why We Need to Disrupt the Climate Transition (Verso, 2025), Nicholas Beuret follows those already fighting back through ‘don't pay' campaigns, blockades of fossil-fuel infrastructure, and community counter-planning. He shows we have the tools not only to stop climate change but to build a fairer future. Nicholas Beuret is a lecturer in environmental politics and economic geography at the University of Essex. With a background in both activism and academia, he explores the intersections of climate change, capitalism, and social justice. His work has been featured in the Guardian, The Ecologist, Open Democracy, and Undercurrents. Nicholas lives in the UK, where he continues to write, teach, and engage in environmental advocacy. Alec Fiorini is a PhD student at Queen Mary University London's Centre for Labour, Sustainability and Global Production (CLaSP) researching the political economy of nitrogen fertilizer supply chains.

VPPs – virtual power plants – continue to spark heated debate. Are they genuinely a fast, affordable way to add capacity to the grid? Or are they an overhyped concept that falls apart when electricity systems are under stress? To find out, host Ed Crooks welcomes Colby Hastings, the senior director for residential energy at Tesla, to unpack what VPPs can and can't do for the grid.Colby explains how storage-based VPPs can behave very differently from the classic demand response that relies on consumers changing their behaviour. She sets out Tesla's thinking on VPPs, including its strategies for customer participation, reliability, and pay-for-performance. Tesla's model includes opt-outs, backup reserve settings, and transparency via an app. Customer choice is an important principle.Regular guest Amy Myers Jaffy also joins the show, and she debates what's holding VPPs back from scaling everywhere. Electricity market design can be critical for determining how fast VPPs are adopted. Other issues, including concerns about “double compensation” under net metering systems, are also important. Some regions are moving faster than others.Finally, Colby tells us what's coming next from Tesla and in the industry. Tesla's vehicle-to-grid plans are starting to take shape. A pilot, starting with the Cybertruck, was launched last month. And she explains why Puerto Rico is one of the clearest case studies for demonstrating the value of VPPs as critical infrastructure.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This episode is part eight in an ongoing series about brands and how they influence our identities and drive consumerism. In this episode, we will talk about how the price we are willing to pay for an item is directly related to branding:Why "perceived value" is almost more important than mathing the math,How brands manipulate the perceived value via small changes to products, Why even the graphic design of a brand's website will change your expectations around pricing,How you often guess the prices in a store just by looking at the merchandising and fixtures,And why we have to stop expecting small business prices to align with fast fashion/fast everything pricing.Add your address to get a postcard.Get your Clotheshorse merch here: https://clotheshorsepodcast.com/shop/For the next month, use promo code THEPRICEISRIGHT to get 50% off all merch!
