Mike Nemer interviewed Kevin Carriere, the CEO of Powertron Global, who explained that he entered the HVAC industry after meeting engineers developing solutions for heat exchanger efficiency restoration. On episode 310 of The Green Insider podcast, Kevin described how Powertron Global was founded to address HVAC efficiency issues, expanding beyond initial heat exchanger solutions to tackle other efficiency-robbing factors in climate control systems. Todays podcast includes: Sustainable HVAC Efficiency Restoration Sustainable HVAC practices can lead to cost savings, not just environmental benefits. HVAC systems lose efficiency over time, mainly due to heat exchanger capacity loss, which increases energy use and maintenance. Powertron engineers developed a heat exchanger restoration technology to restore lost efficiency, filling a gap in the industry. Craftsmanship and education on efficiency restoration are crucial, especially for city and government agencies. HVAC Efficiency Diagnostics Platform Most HVAC systems, especially in taxpayer-funded facilities, operate 30–40% below their intended design capacity. Powertron created a proprietary forensic measurement and verification platform, collecting data from over 400 studies in 38 countries. The company focuses on restoring system capacity and providing diagnostic data to manufacturers and researchers, serving clients like cell tower huts, convenience stores, and government facilities. HVAC Efficiency Loss Over Time New HVAC systems lose 5–7% efficiency in the first year (with proper maintenance), then 3–4% annually, reaching a 25–30% reduction over time. Systems in regions with long cooling seasons (eastern/western US) can lose significant efficiency in 3.5–5 years; in the Midwest, it takes about twice as long. Rooftop units expected to last 15 years are often replaced in 10 due to efficiency loss and increased runtime. Type System ROI and Sustainability The ROI for Powertron's type system is typically 12–18 months, but as short as 3 months for mission-critical sites (e.g., data centers, hospitals). The goal is to restore systems to their design capacity, improving efficiency and generating further savings. Certified reports are provided to quantify emissions reductions and energy savings, which can be used in customers' sustainability reports.

In this Season 14 review (Part 3) Andrea revisits key insights from Dr. Shane Creado on the critical link between sleep, concussions and performance. The episode explains how even mild or repeated head impacts and sleep deprivation damage the same brain regions that support learning, memory, decision-making and emotional regulation, and how one all‑nighter can reduce hippocampal learning capacity by around 40%. Practical takeaways include treating sleep as neurological recovery (7–9 hours), protecting the brain after head jolts, avoiding late alcohol and screens, and prioritizing consistent sleep routines to restore learning, resilience and long‑term brain health for athletes, students and professionals. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. As we are nearing the end of Season 14 here, it has been about reflection as we have looked back and reviewed past interviews. Our goal has not been about nostalgia, or remembering these interviews, the goal has been about integrating what we have learned. Taking what we know, aligning it with how the brain actually functions, and applying it consistently enough to change outcomes. And if there's one thing this season has reinforced, it's this: Sustainable success isn't built on intensity or focus alone—it's built on alignment. As we move into what's next, (Season 15) the focus shifts from understanding this alignment to bringing this alignment into a tangible, physical form, or embodiment. Not more information—but better execution. After hundreds of conversations with neuroscientists, educators, peak performers, and thought leaders, one truth keeps resurfacing— lasting success is never about doing more. It's about alignment. Alignment between how the brain actually works, how emotions drive behavior, and how daily habits compound over time. Season 14 has been about stepping back—not to reminisce, but to integrate what we have learned into our current life. I knew the minute that I was sent a couple of video clips from our past episodes, that I had forgotten about, that while I thought I had implemented the ideas from our past guests, I had some work to go myself. For this reason, we spent Season 14 and will resume with Season 15 next January, reviewing past episodes, with the goal of noticing what we have now aligned, that's bringing us results in our daily life. Core Reflection When we started this podcast 7 years ago, the goal was simple: bridge neuroscience research with practical strategies people could actually use. What I didn't fully appreciate then—what only became clear through repetition, reflection, and real-life application—is that information alone doesn't create change. Understanding the brain doesn't matter if we ignore what to do with the information we release each week: improving our sleep reducing our stress practicing emotional regulation with consistency that actually changes who we are at the core: our identity Season 14 has been about connecting those dots. Listening again to conversations with voices like Dr. John Medina, Dawson Church, Bob Proctor, Dr. John Ratey, Friederike Fabritius, and so many others, one pattern became impossible to ignore: The brain thrives on simplicity, repetition, and finding emotional safety to implement these concepts—not intensity or a quick fix. We will take the time with each interview review to offer ways for all of us to implement the lessons learned, so that when we finish 2026, we will be able to look back, and see where our changes all began. This week, we move onto PART 3 of our review of EP 72[i] with Shane Creado, MD and his book Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes recorded back in July of 2020. ✔ In PART 1[ii], we covered: How strategic napping, morning brain habits, and even the Silva Method all work together to reset your brain, boost performance, and transform your health from the inside out. ✔ In PART 2[iii] we continued with our review, diving a bit deeper into sleep deprivation and its impact of performance (whether you are an athlete, or just someone looking to improve productivity). ✔ PART 3, we will go a bit deeper into the impacts of concussions and brain injuries on our sleep and performance. Let's go back to 2020 and revisit what Dr. Creado had to say about sleep in this last episode of this season. VIDEO 1 – Click Here to Watch In the first clip of this episode, with Dr. Creado, he dives into the connection with concussions and sleep. He says, “Most people who have had a concussion end up with sleep problems. It makes a lot of sense when you think about the brain and how it regulates sleep and wakeful cycles and then it gets jarred. But what people don't realize is that even a mild head injury can really damage your brain. Even if you're not officially diagnosed with a concussion, you don't have to lose consciousness to have a concussion. You don't even need to have any symptoms to have your brain injured in some way. And then the little injuries along the way add up over time. So the brain is as soft as butter and in a hard, bony skull. Anything that jars it, even whiplash can cause your brain to be injured. And it accumulates over time. What's interesting is that the same regions of the brain that are most damaged in head injuries are also damaged in sleep deprivation and also alcohol use. The frontal lobes, the temporal lobes and the parietal lobes at the top of the brain.”
===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for December 19th Publish Date: December 19th Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Friday, December 19th and Happy Birthday to Al Kaline I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal South Cobb mayors speak on accomplishments, future Jaha Howard wins runoff for Georgia Senate District 35 Cobb County staff trade desk work for Christmas carols Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on saturated fats As well as Shane Delancey the Director of the Christmas Tradition at the Strand Theatre All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Now here is Shane Delancey the Director of the Christmas Tradition at the Strand Theatre BREAK: THE STRAND STORY 1: South Cobb mayors speak on accomplishments, future Three mayors, three cities, and a lot to reflect on. Austell Mayor Ollie Clemons, Mableton Mayor Michael Owens, and Powder Springs Mayor Al Thurman gathered at the Riverside EpiCenter to talk about 2025 wins and what’s next for 2026 during the State of South Cobb event. Clemons? He’s proud of Austell’s bold move to raise the millage rate for the first time in decades. “It’s about reinvesting in our community,” he said, pointing to plans for downtown revitalization and hiring a city manager—finally. Owens celebrated Mableton’s new departments and leadership team, calling 2025 a year of “building the foundation.” Next year? It’s all about community engagement and growth. Thurman highlighted Powder Springs’ shiny new city hall and parking garage, plus job-creating developments. His focus for 2026? Sustainable growth and leaving a legacy of leadership. STORY 2: Jaha Howard wins runoff for Georgia Senate District 35 Jaha Howard pulled off a narrow win Tuesday night, defeating fellow Democrat Roger Bruce in the runoff for state Senate District 35. Unofficial results show Howard, a dentist and former Cobb school board member, edging out Bruce with 51.9% of the vote to Bruce’s 48.1%. The seat, which covers parts of Cobb and Fulton counties, was left open when Jason Esteves stepped down to run for governor. Howard credited his win to personal outreach—hundreds of phone calls, he said, to build trust. “People want to feel heard,” he said. Bruce’s campaign struggled with name recognition, especially in Cobb. STORY 3: Cobb County staff trade desk work for Christmas carols Glover Park got a dose of holiday magic Tuesday, thanks to Cobb County’s newest choir, “Cobb County Sonic Sound” (or, as they like to call themselves, “CoCo SoSo”). Led by Dr. Jatunn Gibson, head of the county’s Public Services Agency, the group—decked out in festive sweaters and holiday flair—belted out classics like “Joy to the World” and “White Christmas.” Oh, and they’ve got their own band too, all county employees. Between songs, they performed skits about elves saving Christmas. “It’s all about fun and camaraderie,” said Grace Williams, a choir member. “We’re connecting beyond work—and it’s a blast.” We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We’ll be right back. Break: Villa Rica Wonderland Train STORY 4: Jason Gaines named Mableton Citizen of the Year Jason Gaines didn’t see it coming. This week, he was named the 2025 Mableton Citizen of the Year at the South Cobb Area Council meeting, and the surprise left him, well, a little speechless. “It just warms my heart,” Gaines said. “To know the work I’ve done is appreciated like this—it’s humbling.” Gaines, who’s the director of planning at Croy Engineering and chairs the Mableton Development Authority Board, was honored by Mayor Michael Owens. “Jason’s been a force,” Owens said. “His expertise and passion have shaped this community at such a critical time.” The guy’s résumé? Stacked. Leadership programs, board memberships—he’s everywhere. STORY 5: Anderson steps down as Walker football coach TJ Anderson pulled off something close to miraculous in 2025. With just 23 players—yes, 23—he guided Walker through a grueling 10-game season. The Wolverines finished 2-8, but they still earned a spot in the Class A-AAA Private state playoffs. Unfortunately, injuries piled up, and the team had to decline the bid. “We had to make the best decision for our kids,” Anderson said, reflecting on the tough call. But that season? It was his last. Anderson announced on X that he’s stepping down as Walker’s head coach after three years. “It’s been a journey,” he wrote, thanking the community and his family. BRAVES: Ha-Seong Kim is staying put in Atlanta—at least for another year. The 30-year-old shortstop signed a one-year, $20 million deal with the Braves on Monday, locking him in as the team’s starter for 2026. Not bad, considering he turned down a $16 million option just last month and walked away with an extra $4 million. Kim joined the Braves late last season, claimed off waivers from Tampa Bay on Sept. 1. He made an immediate impact, hitting .309 with a .372 OBP, three homers, and 12 RBIs in his first 19 games. Sure, he cooled off at the end—1-for-19 in the last five games—but the Braves clearly see his potential. Kim’s journey hasn’t been without bumps. Injuries sidelined him for much of 2025 with the Rays, where he hit just .214 in 24 games. But let’s not forget—this guy won a Gold Glove with the Padres in 2023 and has 84 career stolen bases. The Braves are betting on a bounce-back. And if Kim can channel his San Diego form, he could be a 3-4 WAR player. High hopes, but hey, the talent’s there. I'm Keith Ippolito and that’s your MDJ Sports Minute. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on saturated fats We’ll have closing comments after this.

Most dentists don't fail because of a lack of clinical skill — they struggle because their mindset keeps them stuck. In this episode, we uncover the one move that unlocks better leadership, stronger team culture, and the confidence to take real action inside your practice. This week, Dr. Len sits down with leadership expert and former Spear Education faculty member Dr. Martin Mendelson — a coach who helps dentists get out of their own way. After hand issues pushed him out of clinical dentistry, Martin discovered the transformational power of mindset. Today, he empowers dentists and teams to ditch the limiting thoughts that stall progress and replace them with a proven framework that drives results. Martin reveals his T.E.A.M.™ Framework — Thoughts ➜ Emotions ➜ Actions ➜ Manifest Results — and how recognizing what's happening "between stimulus and response" changes everything in leadership, culture, and decision-making. He also shares insights from his new book, One Move Makes All the Difference, hitting shelves December 2025 — loaded with practical tools to help practice owners lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move your practice forward — this one's for you. What You'll Learn Clinical skill isn't enough — success requires human leadership skills. When dentists fail to act, the real cause is mindset, not circumstance. Inaction is still an action — and it has a cost. Tough conversations are essential to team culture and accountability. Freedom in leadership exists between stimulus and response: pause, reflect, choose. Sustainable progress requires intentional actions aligned with desired results. — Key Takeaways 00:37 Welcome, Sponsors & Introducing the Episode 01:37 Meet Dr. Martin Mendelson + His Background Story 04:51 From Losing Clinical Ability to Finding Coaching & Mindset Work 06:36 How Dentists Know They Need Help + Common Roadblocks 08:15 The Book: "One Move Makes All the Difference" & Why He Wrote It 13:55 The T.E.A.M.™ Framework Explained (Thoughts–Emotions–Actions–Results) 17:50 How Mindset Impacts Decisions, Leadership & Practice Culture 23:07 Team Challenges, Accountability & Difficult Conversations 24:50 Emotional Intelligence, Assertiveness & Getting Out of Your Own Way 26:55 Why Coaching Takes Time + The Power of Culture Over Strategy 31:03 What Dentistry Often Gets Wrong Beyond Clinical Skills 32:10 Lightning Round Q&A 36:18 How to Connect with Dr. Martin + Closing Remarks — Connect with Dr. Martin Mendelson Website: martinmendelson.com Instagram: @docmartinempowers LinkedIn: Martin Mendelson — Learn proven dental marketing strategies and online reputation management techniques at DrLenTau.com.

Looking back over the past year, you might be struck by the sheer volume of stories about hybrid working, burnout, trust, AI and economic pressure. But when you step back and consider them together, a much clearer picture emerges. One that reveals the deeper forces shaping how people feel about work, and what leaders will need to pay attention to in 2026. In this special solo episode of Sticky From The Inside, Andy Goram explores the underlying currents that sit beneath the headlines. Yes, we talk about return-to-office tensions, the rise in burnout, and AI's quiet spread across workplaces. But these aren't isolated issues. They're connected, and they're telling us something important about the state of work today. Drawing on a year of cultural insights, research and real-world observations, Andy introduces five forces he believes will shape engagement, culture and leadership in the year ahead. From the growing urgency around work design, to the shift from engagement as feedback to engagement as shared power, to the rising importance of trust, human-fluent AI leadership, and belonging as a stabilising force. If you're leading people, shaping culture, or simply trying to make work a healthier, more human experience, this episode offers a grounded and connected view of what's really happening and why leaders can't afford to think about these forces in isolation. ----more---- Key Takeaways Work Design becomes a core leadership discipline. Sustainable performance will depend less on location and more on designing work that people can realistically deliver without burning out. Engagement shifts from measuring feelings to sharing power. People want influence, not just surveys. Organisations that involve employees meaningfully will see stronger commitment and trust. Trust becomes the currency of effective leadership. In an environment of economic squeeze and organisational change, trust is fragile — and leaders will need to earn it through clarity, consistency and honesty. Leaders must be both AI-literate and human-fluent. AI is entering the workplace faster than governance can keep up. The leaders who succeed will understand technology and know how to support people through it. Belonging and psychological safety become strategic stabilisers. In pressured systems, belonging is not a soft concept, it's the foundation for resilience, creativity and high performance. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 0:01:13 – Looking back to understand the year ahead 0:02:04 – Why the headlines don't tell the full story 0:03:01 – The workplace stories shaping today's backdrop 0:06:17 – Engagement falls, burnout rises, and tolerance shifts 0:09:24 – Trust under pressure and the rise of employee voice 0:12:56 – AI adoption grows from the bottom up 0:16:09 – Economic pressures and their cultural impact 0:21:10 – Introducing the five forces shaping 2026 0:21:23 – Force One: Work design steps into the spotlight 0:22:30 – Forces Two to Five: Power, trust, AI and belonging 0:27:07 – A challenge for leaders in the year ahead ----more---- Join The Conversation Find Andy Goram on LinkedIn here Listen to the Podcast on YouTube here Follow the Podcast on Instagram here Follow the Podcast on Twitter here Follow the Podcast on Facebook here Check out the Bizjuicer website here Get a free consultation with Andy here Check out the Bizjuicer blog here Download the podcast here ----more---- Useful Links Gallup State of the Global Workforce here Read Inspiring Workplaces' take on the survey here Read The Autonomy Institute's piece on the 4-Day Week here Read The Guardian's piece on the 4-Day Week here Read Microsoft's view on AI at work here Read Peoplescout.com's article on Mental Health at work here ----more---- Full Episode Transcript Get the full transcript of the episode here
In this episode, we sit down with Sam Cerwin, co-founder and CEO of BeReworn, a fashion-tech platform reimagining how people engage with sustainable fashion through community-driven clothing swaps and circular events. Sam shares how her background and love of fashion led her to build a solution that makes sustainability feel accessible, social, and genuinely fun, rather than overwhelming or exclusive.Sam walks us through the idea behind BeReworn and the gap she saw in the fashion space, a lack of centralized tools for organizing and discovering clothing swaps, upcycling events, and circular fashion experiences. We talk about the stigma that still exists around secondhand clothing, why community is such a powerful driver of change, and how swapping can be both a practical and meaningful alternative to constant consumption.Throughout the conversation, Sam also opens up about the realities of building a startup in the sustainability space, balancing impact with growth, and what the future of circular fashion could look like if more people leaned into shared wardrobes and local connection. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about sustainable fashion, community building, or creating change in a way that feels human and achievable.

By Ron Robins, MBA Transcript & Links, Episode 162, December 19, 2025 Hello, Ron Robins here. Welcome to my podcast episode 162, published on December 19, 2025, titled "December 2025 Sustainable Stock and ETF Picks." This podcast is presented by Investing for the Soul. Investingforthesoul.com is your go-to site for vital global, ethical, and sustainable investing mentoring, news, commentary, information, and resources. Remember that you can find a full transcript and links to content, including stock symbols and bonus material, on this episode's podcast page at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. Also, a reminder. I do not evaluate any of the stocks or funds mentioned in these podcasts, and I don't receive any compensation from anyone covered in these podcasts. Furthermore, I will reveal any investments I have in the investments mentioned herein. I have a great crop of 8 articles for you in this podcast! Note: Some companies are covered more than once. ------------------------------------------------------------- December 2025 Sustainable Stock and ETF Picks (1) In this edition, I'm starting with a ranking of responsible companies. It's titled America's Most Responsible Companies 2026 on rankings.newsweek.com. It's by Newsweek and Statista. Here are some quotes from the introduction by Jennifer H. Cunningham. "According to a study by The Roundup, 84 percent of customers say that they are deterred from companies with poor environmental practices, and 62 percent 'always or often' specifically look for products that are sustainable. That is why Newsweek is proud to partner with Statista for the seventh time to present America's Most Responsible Companies 2026, highlighting 600 companies that are taking action each day to uphold their social responsibility. This ranking is built on an evaluation of company CSR/ESG or sustainability reports, financial reports, history of lawsuits and 2024 top polluter indexes from the Political Economy Research Institute. Additionally, over 30 KPIs were researched from the three areas of ESG—environmental, social and governance performance. Companies included in this ranking are American Tower (AMT), Ingersoll Rand (IR), Las Vegas Sands (LVS), NVIDIA (NVDA), and Tapestry (TPR )." End quotes The top five companies in the ranking are NVIDIA (NVDA), Mastercard (MA), Palo Alto Networks (PANW), Ecolab (ECL), and T-Mobile (TMUS). ------------------------------------------------------------- December 2025 Sustainable Stock and ETF Picks (2) As renewable energy companies make gains, this article reviews some top companies in the sector. The article is titled Top 7 companies offering digital transformation solutions for renewable energy on azbigmedia.com. It's by Eric Kelly. Here are some of his comments. "1. DXC Technology (DXC) builds Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems – DERMS for short. What that means in plain English: software that can juggle thousands of solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries at once. Their renewable energy digital services do real-time forecasting and balancing. When a cloud covers a solar farm, the system already knows and has adjusted before anyone notices a flicker. They use predictive analytics to figure out what's going to happen hours or days ahead, which matters when you're trying to keep the lights on for millions of people. 2. Siemens Energy (ENR.DE) Their Omnivise Digital Solutions covers pretty much everything – from the moment you build a power plant to the day you tear it down decades later. They make distributed control systems that pull data from every sensor, every turbine, every transformer, and show it all in one place. What's interesting is their edge computing for substations. Instead of sending all data to some central cloud and waiting for instructions, the processing happens right there on-site. Milliseconds matter when you're managing a grid. Siemens is also deep into green hydrogen tech. They're working on projects in over 100 countries and their equipment generates about half the world's electricity. 3. Schneider Electric (SU.PA) built EcoStruxure. It connects hardware, software, and services to optimize energy use in buildings, factories, and grids. Their new One Digital Grid Platform uses AI to manage planning, operations, and asset management all in one place. The AI automatically catches when the digital model of a grid doesn't match reality – like when someone forgot to update the system after installing new equipment. Sounds simple, but that kind of mismatch causes real problems. 4. ABB (ABBNY) make robotic systems for manufacturing solar panels, complete instrumentation packages for solar and wind plants, and the smart grid systems that tie it all together. Their battery storage solutions are particularly interesting. BESS-as-a-Service means companies can use battery systems without buying them outright. For industrial users trying to cut electricity costs during peak hours, that's huge. You get energy independence without the capital expenditure. ABB supplies converters for the world's biggest offshore wind farms and generators for hydroelectric plants. 5. GE Vernova (GEV) is the spinoff from General Electric that focuses purely on power generation and grid management. They generate about 25% of the world's electricity through their installed base of 2200 GW worth of equipment. Their Grid Orchestration Software uses AI to predict demand, optimize energy flow, and integrate all those distributed resources we keep talking about. Their Advanced Asset Performance Management system pulls data from information systems, operational systems, and engineering models to help people make faster decisions. GE Vernova partnered with Amazon Web Services to accelerate cloud migration and bring generative AI into energy infrastructure. 6. IBM Energy and Utilities (IBM) brings Watson and AI expertise to energy. Their Maximo platform manages assets, and Watson handles the heavy data analytics. They're using AI to forecast renewable energy production, optimize maintenance schedules, and manage distributed resources. IBM is also experimenting with quantum computing for modeling complex energy systems. Their blockchain platforms enable peer-to-peer energy trading – imagine selling excess solar power from your roof directly to your neighbor. They build digital twins that simulate how turbines, transformers, and entire grids will behave under different conditions. 7. Accenture (ACN) isn't selling hardware or software directly. They're consultants who help energy companies figure out their entire digital transformation strategy. Sometimes the problem isn't technology – it's knowing which technology to use and how to implement it without disrupting your business. They work with industry leaders on IoT, Big Data, AI, and cloud solutions. Their approach covers operational excellence, asset management, customer experience, and decarbonization. Renewable energy digital services from Accenture include predictive maintenance for wind and solar farms, platforms for managing virtual power plants, and real-time carbon emission monitoring. They also help companies integrate ESG principles into operations and reporting."

The article is titled Prediction: This AI Infrastructure Stock Could Hit a $500 Billion Valuation by 2032 on fool.com and is by Thomas Niel. Here are some quotes from Mr. Neil's article. "Arista Networks (ANET) A top provider of cloud networking solutions for end-users such as AI data centers, the company has already benefited greatly from this trend. Already a strong performer over the past five years, its shares may be in for further outsized price appreciation in the years ahead, as the AI growth trend persists. How Arista benefits from the AI buildout Arista Networks has been in business for over 20 years, becoming a billion-dollar business around 10 years ago. Still, it's only been over the past three years that the company experienced a sustained growth resurgence. The reason for this is hardly a mystery. In late 2022, ChatGPT launched, sparking the start of the genAI growth trend. Soon after, tech companies, especially the largest names in the space, began to deploy hundreds of billions of dollars into building out their AI infrastructures. With this booming surge in demand, it's no surprise that Arista Networks has benefited from a big jump in demand for networking hardware, like switches and routers, as well as the software used to power them… This rapid revenue growth has brought with it a correspondingly high rate of earnings growth… Next stop $500 billion? It's possible At current prices, Arista Networks has a market cap of around $161.3 billion. To reach a $500 billion market cap and a share price of around $400 within six years, at a minimum, Arista will need to sustain 20% annualized growth… The bottom line for new or existing Arista Networks investors Currently, Arista has a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of just under 40. In the years ahead, even if annual growth stays around 20%, shares could experience a slight de-rating as investors anticipate a growth slowdown over a longer time frame… Rather than entering or adding to a position at any price, you may want to wait for renewed worries about an AI bubble or whitebox competition to create new buy-the-dip situations."

What if the key to growing your clinic online isn't posting more - but posting with purpose?In this episode, we sit down with naturopath and strategist Rebecca Talia to explore a calmer, more strategic way for healthcare practitioners to show up on social media. Instead of chasing trends or feeling pressured to be perfect, Rebecca reframes social platforms as a living extension of your website, a place where prospective clients can hear your voice, understand your values, and get a sense of how you work.We unpack the fears that keep many clinicians silent: worrying about saying the “wrong” thing, looking unpolished, or being judged by peers. Rebecca replaces those fears with clarity of purpose - educate, connect, and invite. From there, we map the boundaries that make authenticity sustainable: what to keep private, how to protect your family and location, and why trust does not require vulnerability that feels unsafe or misaligned. You'll learn how a simple cadence of one to three posts per week is enough to build momentum, and how consistency outperforms volume every time.Then we move into the practical framework practitioners can start using today. Attraction posts help new people find you through plain-language education and myth-busting. Nurture posts deepen trust with behind-the-scenes process and de-identified case insights. Conversion posts offer clear, low-pressure invitations - book a discovery call, download a resource, or join an upcoming workshop. Rebecca also explains how “giving” content like recipes and checklists boosts saves and shares, expanding your reach so your invitations land with the right audience.If you've felt overwhelmed by algorithms, trends, or the pressure to overshare, this conversation brings relief, clarity, and an actionable roadmap. Subscribe, share with a colleague who needs a confidence boost, and let us know the one shift you'll make in your posting routine.Shownotes and references are available on the Designs for Health websiteRegister as a Designs for Health Practitioner and discover quality practitioner- only supplements at www.designsforhealth.com.au Follow us on Socials Instagram: Designsforhealthaus Facebook: Designsforhealthaus DISCLAIMER: The Information provided in the Wellness by Designs podcast is for educational purposes only; the information presented is not intended to be used as medical advice; please seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional if what you have heard here today raises questions or concerns relating to your health
Are you one of those people who still has to get the last “few bits” for Christmas and buy those last few presents? Well with some advice on what to purchase is Jo Linehan, Climate Journalist.
As the year draws to a close, we’re grappling with what a sustainable future really looks like against a backdrop of a more and more technology-based world. We’re told that the tools that we now have at our fingertips are making our lives easier, more streamlined but this convenience comes at a cost. There are organisations thinking differently though, like the Paris-based “Citizen Science Laboratory”, Atelier 21. On this episode, we speak to founder, Cédric Carles about the low-tech, frugal, and more environmentally-friendly innovations of old that they are raising from the buried past. Cédric had values of sustainability, repairing and shared responsibility ingrained in him from an early age. That’s why, once he started working in the design space, he was less interested in creating new, shiny things to sell people and more interested in creating products that would elevate peoples lives and be built to last. While working to develop sustainable technologies and speaking to older colleagues, he realised that some of the ‘new’ ideas that he was having actually weren’t that new at all. And in fact, there was a whole history of innovation out there that he wasn’t aware already existed. So, at COP21, he took the opportunity of having environmentally-minded people from all over the world in Paris, at his fingertips, and started having conversations with everyone. In the last ten years, the Paléo-Energétique project has collected ideas around energy, water, transportation and more. A timeline for change This collection became the Paléo-Energétique timeline that is now a partial basis for their RetroFutur Museum in Paris. Cédric shares a few examples with us of some of the forgotten but groundbreaking innovations — the “gold nuggets” — that are included on the timeline. And the timeline is constantly growing, as the RetroFutur Museum has the potential to move to new towns, every time they do so, they work with local schools and archives to augment the exhibition to the innovations that they discover in the local area. “A lot of innovation was killed by the prices of energy. What we discovered is that a lot of crisis time was a really good time for innovation…during crisis there is no coal, no fuel and it is so expensive. But when the crisis is gone…we just forget all the stuff we have done with solar energy and alternatives…It’s time to not forget anymore.” The timeline serves as a tool to not only educate but to inspire. Cédric wants participants to have an “experience with the material” and see with their own eyes what is possible. It’s an ethos echoed in other Atelier 21 projects, like Solar Soundsystem where members of the public power a soundsystem by pedalling bikes. Many efforts for change are shot down by voices saying that a sustainable transition isn’t possible but Cédric says their work proves to people that it is possible because it has already been done. Inside the RetroFutur Museum [Credit: Atelier 21 Resurrecting and regenerating Atelier 21 are not just digging up old patents but are bringing them back from the dead. One of these is the RegenBox, a machine that can recharge alkaline batteries, making them reusable. It was inspired by the inventor of modern alkaline batteries, Karl Kordesch’s original patents for recharging them. So, they began working on “re-prototyping.” What resulted was their RegenBox and RegenStations which can diagnose the energy level in your battery and then, recharge it. And the best part… they’re repairable, both their software and hardware! They’re a perfect addition to community initiatives like Fixing Factories, sharing libraries or eco hubs. The alkaline battery is so ubiquitous, that an opportunity to reuse them could attract new visitors who may not yet be interested in repair. Cédric says that there are around 40 RegenStations and 3-4,000 RegenBoxes around Europe, resulting in an estimated 100,000 batteries saved just this year. And next year, with the help of communities like ours, he wants to up that number to one million. The “treasure trove” continues to grow The timeline contains many, many innovations which you can read about and explore. This also means that there is plenty of knowledge for Atelier 21 to draw on and “re-innovate” on. Right now, they are exploring work extending the lives of solar panels which notoriously get retired before their time, leading to e-waste. And Cédric shares that next year, they are launching Paleo-Water and will be collecting and sharing information on lost patents around water systems. Do you have a lost invention that you would like to add to the timeline? Let Cédric know!

You may be familiar with today's guest, Jennifer Gulizia of The Flowering Farmhouse and The Backyard Bouquet Podcast.

In this very special episode of The Business Development Podcast, Kelly Kennedy sits down with Jake Gold, one of the most influential architects of Canadian music and the longtime manager behind The Tragically Hip. Jake takes listeners behind the curtain on what a music manager actually does, not as a hype man, but as the CEO of a complex business where touring, deals, team decisions, merchandising, data, and long term career strategy all run through one leader. He shares the moment he first saw The Tragically Hip live and knew instantly they had to be signed, plus how conviction, detail obsession, and a willingness to say no are what separate career building from chasing quick wins.This conversation is packed with crossover lessons for founders, CEOs, and business developers, especially around standards, positioning, and being relentlessly curious as the market changes. Jake breaks down why the music industry is bigger than ever, why direct to consumer and data matter, and why the barrier to entry being low does not change the one truth that decides everything: you still have to be great. Kelly also acknowledges the human side of legacy, including the grief the country felt around Gord Downie, and Jake shares how he stays grounded and sustainable across decades in a 24/7 industry, while hinting at meaningful plans ahead for what comes next.Key Takeaways: 1. You will know greatness when you feel it and it is an involuntary response, not a logical checklist. 2. Great careers are built by setting the real bar and realizing what “next level” actually looks like the first time you witness it. 3. A great manager is basically the CEO of the band's company, overseeing every revenue stream, cost, and decision with the artists as the board. 4. Sustainable performance comes from ruthless time protection: knowing when not to get involved, saying no, and avoiding time wasters. 5. If you do not believe in what you represent, you will eventually get bored and move on, so belief is the fuel of long term excellence. 6. The small stuff is the big stuff: details matter because this is the whole business and you do not get paid unless it works. 7. There is no plan B if you want career level outcomes, and if the artist or founder loses belief, the manager cannot save it. 8. Curiosity is a competitive advantage: keep learning, keep reading, and bring new ideas to the table even when you are the most experienced person in the room. 9. Data and direct fan connection are core now, and the winners will understand audiences, demographics, and DTC relationships better than ever. 10. In a world where anyone can publish, the filter is still the same: you have to be great, the cream rises, and longevity is the real proof.

Low resource settings require much innovation and streamlining resources to meet set goals. With healthcare becoming more commercial and profit driven, missional healthcare in low resource settings faces many challenges. Sustainability is a big question with people finance , and equipment scarce and hard to come by. Missional models of healthcare often run into hurdles of sustainability, longevity and relevance even as healthcare slowly turns into business. In this setting of multifactorial challenges and increasing compliances how can missional healthcare be relevant and sustainable? Many saints of God have committed their lives to fulfil this great commission in some of the most underserved and unreached areas of the world. With the birth of Emmanuel Hospital Association (EHA) a different model of missional healthcare emerged in India. Over the last 55 years of its existence, EHA has shown that through all the challenges, this may be one of the ways to sustain missional healthcare in areas of need. With increasing divide between the rich and poor, overwhelmed government systems, a ruthless insurance system, and high end corporate healthcare, it is still possible for missional healthcare to provide low cost, high quality, technologically advanced care to people in need while remaining sustainable. We bring lessons from India and our experience with Emmanuel Hospital Association over the last 3 decades.
In this mindset-shifting episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling reveal why most people struggle to maintain their fasting lifestyle during challenging times—their habits are only designed for perfect days. They introduce the "Full vs Floor" framework, a game-changing approach that gives you two versions of every critical habit: your ideal "full" version for good days and your non-negotiable "floor" version for when life gets chaotic. The hosts walk through practical examples for salt and hydration, exercise, protein intake, fasting schedules, sleep, and holiday navigation, showing exactly how to maintain momentum without perfectionism. They explain why discipline isn't about doing more—it's about never doing nothing—and how keeping habits alive even in their most minimal form tells your brain you're still moving forward. With the holiday season between Thanksgiving and Christmas, this episode provides the permission and framework you need to stop the all-or-nothing thinking that leads to weight regain, helping you build true consistency through imperfect action rather than abandoned perfection.

Travis sits down with long‑time friend and entrepreneur Jason Haugen to unpack the very real, very unsexy side of building and exiting a nine‑location RV dealership group that peaked at $100M a year—then got crushed by a 70% sales drop and exploding interest costs. After taking some time off, walking through his wife's cancer battle, and licking his wounds, Jason is now co‑founder and CEO of Black Jet Ventures, acquiring and growing brands with a focus on operations, marketing, and sustainable profitability. On this episode we talk about: How Jason scaled from a few RV stores to nine locations and $100M+ in revenue—and what actually triggered his decision to sell The brutal reality of a market swing: going from 350–400 units a month to 100, floorplan interest jumping from ~$107k to ~$700k, and why revenue can hide operational inefficiencies Losing $20M, having an executive team walk out, sleeping at the office, and how he managed his mental health and focus through calls from the bank and constant crises Why he believes in “grow, then stabilize, then grow” (not growth at all costs), and how over‑expansion can kill a business even when top‑line numbers look impressive What Black Jet Ventures and Iconic Marketing do today—acquiring CPG and media brands, running a major golf‑focused content/marketing agency, and helping founders build real systems, not just hype Top 3 Takeaways Big revenue doesn't equal real success; without tight operations, intentional growth phases, and clear profitability targets, you can “grow” your way straight into a cash‑flow crisis. Mental resilience in entrepreneurship comes from focusing only on what you can control, staying in motion, and building routines (like golf or other outlets) that let you reset even in the middle of chaos. Sustainable businesses are built by going deep, not just wide: simplifying SKUs, optimizing existing locations, and stabilizing systems before expanding again often leads to far better margins than chasing vanity scale. Notable Quotes “The best thing that ever happened to me was losing $20 million—because I get to take those lessons into everything I do now.” “You can't grow and stabilize at the same time; you grow, then you stabilize, then you earn the right to grow again.” “If you're not absolutely crushing it with three locations, adding six more isn't going to save you—it's just going to multiply your problems.” Connect with Jason Haugen: https://www.iamjasonhaugen.com/ ✖️✖️✖️✖️

In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, host Yusuf talks with Brett Gallant, a New Brunswick Canada IT and cybersecurity business owner who hit 349 pounds while running on burnout and grief after his father's death. Brett breaks down the real weight loss transformation behind the before and after. Not hacks. A rebuild of identity, priorities, and daily systems. He shares his October 2023 “decision day” moment, why mindset is a muscle, and how consistent 10 minute walks can compound into sustainable fat loss, stronger mental health, and better leadership at work and home. If you are stuck in stress, emotional eating, or nonstop responsibilities, this is a practical reset for health, boundaries, and discipline that actually lasts. About the guest: Brett Gallant is a Canadian entrepreneur and cybersecurity business owner. After reaching 349 pounds and feeling exhausted and disconnected from himself, he committed to a structured health reset. He has released about 140 pounds so far and shares his systems around mindset training, food as fuel, accountability, and sustainable habits for busy professionals. Key takeaways: Burnout recovery and weight loss often start with one uncomfortable truth, not a gym membership. “Decision day” creates commitment. Brett chose October 2023 as the line in the sand. Put your oxygen mask on first. Self care is a leadership strategy, not selfishness. Mindset is a muscle. Train it daily when the scale stalls and business gets chaotic. Stop treating progress like a highlight reel. Celebrate non scale wins like showing up. You cannot out exercise a bad diet. Rebuild your relationship with food, from emotional coping to fuel. Consistency compounds. Start with 10 minutes, then stack three short walks if needed. Treat yourself like your best client. Schedule movement like a non negotiable meeting. Accountability helps. Go public or share goals with a peer group, then keep promises to yourself. Expect setbacks. Do not spiral. Catch it, reset fast, and keep going. Bigger bodies are not a discipline problem. Discipline can exist in work and family, then be redirected to health. Sustainable change improves leadership, energy, and how you show up for family and team.

Christin Marvin is a hospitality lifer who's opened 13 restaurants, run high-performing teams from the Broadmoor to booming Denver concepts, and survived both burnout and a failed ownership venture. Today she's an author and host of the Restaurant Leadership Podcast, helping operators master openings, ownership, and operator optimization. Christin and Susan talk about leadership, systems, and sustainable growth. What You'll Learn About: Why "tour guide" servers beat order-takers every time and how that shapes guest loyalty What 13 restaurant openings will teach you about systems, creativity, and controlled chaos How a failed French concept exposed dangerous blind spots around ego, pricing, and ignoring guest feedback The difference between promoting loyal people and intentionally building the leadership team your business actually needs What Christin's "Independent Restaurant Framework" is and how it helps owner-operators scale without burning out A simple, scrappy way to build a training program even if you feel like you have zero time and zero HR department The tiny 15-minute weekly habit that improves retention, surfaces problems early, and makes your team feel genuinely seen What owners get wrong about "not being able to find good people" and how to actually develop the ones you already have Why in-person dining experiences are about to matter more than ever in a tech-obsessed, convenience-driven world *** Our Top Three Takeaways 1. Sustainable restaurant growth requires systems—not loyalty alone. Christin stresses that independent operators often scale based on emotion and loyalty, but true success comes from intentionality: hiring for the right roles, building systems, developing people, and removing ego from decision-making. Loyalty without structure is expensive and risky; systems create stability and scalability. 2. Owners who succeed are the ones willing to ask for help and confront what's not working. She sees a clear divide in the industry: burned-out long-timers vs. newer operators who admit gaps, seek guidance, and make data-driven decisions. Progress begins when owners get honest about their shortcomings and stop trying to be experts in everything. 3. Training and people development are non-negotiable for retention and guest experience. Post-pandemic staffing requires intentional training—even simple, imperfect programs created by lead staff. Christin recommends weekly 15-minute one-on-ones as a powerful retention tool and argues that leaders must slow down, listen, and invest in people if they want to keep talent and deliver great hospitality.

Episode Overview: In this episode, John Kitchens welcomes back powerhouse leader Brett Sikora for a deep, real-world conversation on intentional growth, leadership decisions, and scaling without chaos. Recorded nearly five years after Brett's first appearance during the height of COVID lockdowns, this conversation reflects on the pivotal moments that shaped his brokerage's evolution—from doubling down during uncertainty to building one of the most stable, scalable, and culture-driven organizations in the country. Brett breaks down how real growth doesn't come from chasing shiny objects or expanding out of ego, but from clarity around avatar, disciplined recruiting, financial visibility, and relentless focus on developing leaders who create leaders. If you're a team leader, broker-owner, or agent thinking about growth, mergers, or expansion, this episode delivers hard-earned lessons you can apply immediately. Key Topics Covered Growing Through Uncertainty How Brett leaned into opportunity during COVID instead of playing defense Identifying the right buyers and agents when the market feels unstable Why growth during hard times creates long-term leverage Intentional vs. Accidental Team Growth Why most teams grow by accident—and why that kills profitability The dangers of recruiting without a clear avatar How Brett filters agents before they ever join the organization Recruiting With Standards Why part-time and misaligned agents drain leadership energy The numbers behind effective recruiting conversations How saying "no" protects culture, profitability, and leadership focus Leadership, Coaching & One-on-Ones Why systems don't replace leadership The real power of one-on-one coaching conversations Shifting from leading agents to developing leaders who create leaders Profitability & Financial Clarity Understanding P&Ls before scaling or merging The hidden costs inside team growth Why knowing your numbers is non-negotiable for CEOs Expansion: When It Works—and When It Doesn't The mistakes Brett made expanding too early Why most expansions lose money before they make sense How to evaluate markets, leadership, and density before expanding The difference between a "sexy idea" and a smart decision Culture, Vision & Long-Term Scale Protecting A-players by not tolerating B- and C-players Why leadership energy must be invested where it compounds Building an organization where agents can achieve their biggest goals Resources & Mentions Expert Mentors Live John Kitchens Executive Coaching → https://johnkitchens.coach Concepts referenced: Intentional recruiting & avatar clarity Leadership development through coaching Financial discipline and P&L awareness Expansion strategy vs. ego-driven growth Final Takeaway Growth doesn't come from adding more people—it comes from making better decisions. The teams that win long-term are led by CEOs who know when to say no, who they're building for, and how to invest their time where it creates the most leverage. Expansion, recruiting, and scale only work when they're rooted in clarity, leadership, and discipline—not ego. "If it's not a hell yes, it's a no. And knowing when to say no might be the most powerful leadership skill you have."

Exhausted from ND grind overload? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April explores mindful energy for neurodivergent burnout with Chris Vasiliadis, former systems engineer/instructional designer/Director of Performance Improvement turned burnout buster/health coach (18 years). MS diagnosis (2006) sparked his shift to energizing routines—Qigong/MBSR/3R rescue—focusing on sustainable thriving without chronic exhaustion, aligning actions/values for whole-hearted well-being. Key insights: MS journey: Year of "lab rat" tests (gluten sensitivity/naps), conscious energy management (Qigong for meridians). Mindful energy: Purposeful present attention without judgment (grounding/foot sensations, white space on calendar). Routines for dysfunction/overwhelm: Pause/reground (breathe/stretch/outdoor panoramic views), 16-90 min breaks (not rewards—necessities). Aligning actions/values: Self-compassion over perfectionism (grace for pace, delegate/delay to-dos). Book "Ignition": Self-coach burnout-proof (energy list/3R: remove/reduce/respond drains; bake energizers first). Unpredictable life: Expect chaos (reground: "What's next wise choice?"), community for support (no stagnation—daily joy notes). Thriving normal: Sane pace (role models of measured living), human beings not doings (buffers/transitions).

The Michael Yardney Podcast | Property Investment, Success & Money
At this time every year we get flooded with predictions about what's next for Australia's housing markets. Some of them are useful… a lot of them are noise. But every so often, a report comes along that genuinely moves the needle and helps us see the bigger picture. Domain's Forecast Report 2026 is one of those. It paints a pretty fascinating story: record prices in every capital city, rents still on the rise, and perhaps the most powerful first-home buyer surge we've seen in decades. And it's not just more of the same – the data suggests our markets are shifting into a whole new gear, driven by policies, sentiment changes, and the slow rebalancing of supply. And there are some interesting twists as to how Domain sees the housing markets play out over the next 12 months. So today I chat with Dr Nicola Powell, Domain's Chief of Research and Economics, to help us unpack what's really coming in 2026, why this cycle is so different, and what the winners and losers might be. Takeaways · 2026 is expected to be a year of two halves in the property market. · First home buyers are returning, aided by government schemes. · Investors are also increasing their market share. · Interest rates will significantly influence property prices. · Sydney is forecasted to lead in house price growth. · Affordability remains a critical challenge for buyers. · Rental markets are expected to see modest growth. · Regional differences in property performance are notable. · The cash rate is a key factor in market dynamics. · Sustainable growth is preferred over rapid price increases. Chapters 00:00 Domain's 2026 forecast signals record prices and shifting market forces. 02:01 Key drivers behind the synchronized upswing across all capitals. 03:03 Momentum builds as confidence rises and supply tightens. 05:55 Investors and first-home buyers return, intensifying competition. 07:46 The expanded guarantee scheme reshapes borrowing and demand. 09:38 Rate expectations and affordability caps guide market behaviour.

This is the time of year when the studio hopefully gets a little quieter, inboxes slow down, and we start to take stock. For many artists, that pause comes with a mix of reflection and panic. The question that hangs in the air is: what will next year look like? How will I make it work — not just creatively, but financially? If that thought makes your stomach tighten, you're not alone. Most artists were never taught how to plan income. We were taught to plan projects. But the truth is, when you take charge of your numbers, you take charge of your freedom. So, today I want to walk you through a simple way to design your own £40K year — not as a fantasy figure, but as a structure you can actually build towards. It's not about making 40K exactly, if you need to earn more or less; it's about giving yourself a clear base to make informed choices and stop relying on luck or last-minute opportunities. KEY TAKEAWAYS You can design your own £40K year by mapping your current income streams, sketching your "ideal" income wheel, and using the gap between them as your roadmap for the year ahead. Ceri shares exactly how to do this. Clarity beats hustle. When you identify and break your goals into quarterly, monthly, and even daily targets, and choose one 90-day focus with specific actions, you create momentum without burning out. When Ceri's student Jenny stopped trying to do everything and instead doubled down on two key levers—direct collector sales and small group workshops—she didn't double her workload, she doubled her clarity, and that's what took her from £22K to £40K in a year. BEST MOMENTS “We're working on compounding your actions over time, not going all in, then having to lie down for a month because you've exhausted yourself.” “This isn't just an exercise. It's an act of self-leadership, because the truth is, no one is coming to plan your career for you.” “£40k might sound big, but when you break it into four quarters or 10 collectors or 15 commissions, it's suddenly human sized.” For support with creating and delivering your own £40k+ year, get on the waitlist for Ceri Hand´s Artist Mastermind Circle.
