What if highly contaminated land could be safely and efficiently restored for productive use? In this episode of Hardware to Save a Planet, host Dylan Garrett talks with Randol Aikin, founder of Remedy Scientific, about revolutionizing land remediation. With over 500,000 contaminated sites across the U.S., Aikin explains how robotics, AI, and containerized systems are accelerating the cleanup of toxic “forever chemicals.” This innovative approach not only enables faster, localized treatment but also unlocks critical land for housing and infrastructure, proving that development and environmental protection can go hand in hand.

In this episode, Johan and Gustav welcome Johanna, Head of AI and Analytics at Itera in Bergen, for an insightful discussion on Microsoft Fabric and the evolving world of data platforms. Johanna shares her expertise on how Microsoft Fabric represents a significant shift in data architecture by unifying multiple tools (Power BI, Synapse, Azure Data Factory) into a single platform. The conversation explores how this integration is democratizing data access, allowing business users rather than just IT specialists to work with enterprise data. The trio discusses the technical evolution from traditional SQL databases to modern Delta Lakes environments, noting that while the engineering aspects have become simpler, proper data governance remains essential. Johanna introduces the concept of "Full Stack Fabric Developers" who can now work across the entire data pipeline thanks to the platform's accessibility. They also touch on practical considerations when working with Dynamics 365 data through Fabric Link, addressing common questions about data refresh rates and the realities of near-real-time analytics in business environments.

Han sido días de novedades y lanzamientos relevantes, sobre todo en el ámbito de las 'ruedas finas'. En primer lugar hablamos de la primera 'gravel race' de MMR, la Simun, que pudimos conocer (y probar) hace unos días en Rioja Alavesa junto a los miembros del nuevo equipo Jaleo! de la marca asturiana. Seguimos con la renovadísima Cannondale Synapse 2025, cuya versión LAB71 hemos podido disfrutar días antes de su lanzamiento y que supone un cambio de rumbo bastante relevante sobre lo que era la 'gran fondo' de la marca... ¿O es una vuelta a los orígenes? En el extremo opuesto, nos vamos al DH para hablar de la nueva Canyon Sender CFR y toda la tecnología que las marcas ponen a disposición de los pilotos de esta disciplina tan exigente... y poco rentable a nivel ventas. El debate se 'calienta' charlando de las novedades de DJI, la 'liberación' de sus 1.000 watios de potencia pico sin límite de tiempo pero, sobre todo, de su jugoso comunicado en respuesta a las propuestas de la asociación alemana ZIV del segmento e-bike. Y como ya se nos iba de tiempo este episodio, realizamos una 'pedrea' final que algunas noticias que también hemos recogido estos días, como los frenos Trickstuff Piccola HD Titanium, la nueva colección de ropa Alpinestars, los montajes más asequibles de la BH Lynx SLS y el recall de la Santa Cruz Heckler 9. En perspectiva 'Maillot', repasamos también novedades como las nuevas gafas Spiuk Dabbel, la nueva S-Works Tarmac SL8 de Remco, los nuevos neumáticos de Vittoria y Cadex, la llegada de la marca Festka a España y los nuevos colores Project One de Trek. Este episodio, una semana más, ha sido posible gracias a la marca alemana FOCUS, que acaba de lanzar al mercado su nueva e-bike de enduro, la FOCUS SAM2, una bici ideal para los amantes del descenso y sensaciones fuertes. Nosotros ya la hemos probado y hemos comprobado en primera persona que es una bici... ¡Que puede con todo! Monta la última versión del motor BOSCH CX, baterías a elegir de 600 o 800 Wh, un recorrido de 170mm en la parte delantera y 165 mm detrás en formato Mullet para rodar sin límites en los terrenos más exigentes.

New Tech Alert: A speedy all-road bike with all the tire clearance, an unreleased (and still embargoed) gravel bike, and a clever gravel suspension fork from DT Swiss make this a gear-focused show.  Senior Tech Editor Alvin Holbrook chats with Levy about riding Cannondale's completely redesigned Synapse that offers massive tire clearance, a best-in-class storage box, and integrated lighting that (might) finally make sense. Further, he explains how one battery powers all of it and the AXS derailleur. The price? $16,499.  He's also spent some time on a new gravel suspension fork from DT Swiss that features integrated brake hose routing and aero-ish shaping, and even got to use one while racing a very wet Traka 100 in Spain just a few days ago.  Topics covered: First Ride: The New Cannondale Synapse Road Bike Gets Gravel Tire Clearance and Integrated Lights Canyon's Unreleased Gravel Suspension Fork Surfaces Again at The Traka The Bikes of the 2025 Traka Gravel Race

In this episode of Hardware to Save a Planet, host Dylan Garrett talks with Nehali Jain, Chief of Staff at Antora, a company on a mission to decarbonize heavy industry with thermal batteries. They explore how renewable electricity can be stored as heat in carbon blocks reaching 2,400°C—cheaper and more scalable than fossil fuels. Learn how this breakthrough tackles industrial emissions, supports grid reliability, and offers a practical path to gigaton-scale CO2 reduction through modular, cost-effective energy storage.

Welcome back to Bank Nerd Corner, featuring yours truly and—plot twist—not Kiah Haslett. Today we're flying without our usual co-pilot, but in her place we've got Jason Henrichs: CEO of Alloy Labs, Breaking Banks host, and longtime Fintech Takes favorite, first time BNC co-host. Jason knows he can't out-nerd Kiah (who among us can?), so instead we're flying full black-box mode: no segments, just rants.  First rant: VCs have no business chasing board seats if they're not ready to govern!  We still don't know what the Synapse board discussed, if anything, as customers lost access to their funds. Then there's Frank, the fintech that sold a fantasy to JPMorgan. The founder's taking the heat (rightfully so), but not a word from the investors who stood to benefit most. Shouldn't they share the blame? How do we build governance into the capital stack…before the next meltdown makes it everyone's problem? Second rant: Financial infrastructure isn't a policy tool, so stop treating it like one!  Credit bureaus are built to assess risk, not engineer outcomes. But during the pandemic, we paused student loan delinquencies, wiped medical debt, and blocked BNPL data to improve scores, which sounds (and is!) very compassionate…but also encouraged lenders to stop trusting the data. It gets worse! The SSA quietly added living immigrants to the Death Master File used to prevent fraud, flagging them as “dead” and freezing them out of the financial system. You want to change immigration law, fine, but weaponizing infrastructure is sabotage! So, how do we restore trust in the rails before we lose it all? Third rant: Everyone cheered deregulation, but no one told the examiners!  Banks are facing some of the harshest exams in years, and it's because the regulators with institutional knowledge are gone. What's left are thinly staffed teams defaulting to “no” because they don't understand “yes.” And fintechs that pursued charters expecting clarity? They're running into delays, confusion, and examiners who just don't understand the model. But for most, the charter hasn't reduced risk…it's just introduced new kinds.  Fourth and final rant: This isn't deregulation; it's deregulation theater!  The CFPB says it won't enforce parts of the payday lending rule…but doesn't repeal it. FHFA reverses housing initiatives by tweet. Executive orders bypass public comment with a shrug: “because I said so.” The result is total ambiguity (good actors stay quiet; bad actors run wild). Uncertainty is the new policy…and it's expensive! Not just for banks and fintechs, but for the trust that holds the whole system together.   Sign up for Alex's Fintech Takes newsletter for the latest insightful analysis on fintech trends, along with a heaping pile of pop culture references and copious footnotes.

In the last year I don't think there is any area of fintech that has received more attention than the Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) space. And it is not just the Synapse debacle, it is all the consent orders that have come out of the bank regulators. We have a banking system that pretty much demands that fintech companies partner with banks and we are still yet to figure out what the optimal business model is here.My next guest on the Fintech One-on-One podcast is Jason Mikula, the publisher of Fintech Business Weekly and the Head of Industry, Strategy, Banking and Fintech at the risk decisioning platform Taktile. He has become one of the leading authorities on BaaS and has recently authored a book on this topic.

Welcome back to the Fintech Takes podcast. I'm Alex Johnson, and as always, I'm joined by my partner-in-crime, Jason Mikula. Today, we're unpacking the chaos around regulatory shifts, fintech's shifting landscape, and the not-so-rosy reality of BNPL. First up, we're diving into the latest news coming from D.C. The Trump administration is considering consolidating bank supervision under the OCC, with reports of employee transfers from the FDIC and CFPB in the works. The possible gutting of agencies and the shifting regulatory approach isn't exactly a surprise, but we're seeing this transition go from theoretical to action. What's at stake for banks and fintechs? Next, we dive into Varo's challenges as the first fintech to snag a de novo bank charter during fintech 1.0's big promises. Once a leader, Varo is now facing financial losses and a shrinking customer base, while rivals like Chime scale quickly. Varo's struggles highlight the tension between building responsible products for underserved communities and navigating complex regulatory oversight. Its de novo charter has tied its hands, making it harder to compete in a fast-moving market where flexibility is key. The January CFPB report on Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) brings eye-opening insights. Despite its claim to help those without credit, 45% of BNPL loans go to deep subprime borrowers, not credit newbies. The data also shows users stacking loans across providers, with rising credit card default rates. The takeaway: BNPL's shiny promises don't align with its impact. Plus, we're keeping the BNPL convo going with a rapid-fire round of updates. Finally, we wrap up with a few rants you won't want to miss—like the transparency crisis in financial services and crypto. Powell's vague responses to Synapse's failures highlight a deeper issue: accountability. Meanwhile, crypto's obsession with meme coins is sinking to new lows. Where have all serious players gone? We're diving in. 00:04:50 - Washingtonian Recap 00:26:41 - Varo's Charter Conundrum 00:40:59 - BNPL News, Grab Bag Style 01:07:45 - Can't Let It Go Sign up for Alex's Fintech Takes newsletter for the latest insightful analysis on fintech trends, along with a heaping pile of pop culture references and copious footnotes.

Our podcast show today features Jason Mikula, publisher of Fintech Business Weekly; a newsletter going beyond the headlines to analyze the technology, regulatory and business model trends, driving the rapidly evolving financial services ecosystem at the intersection of traditional banking, payments, FinTech and crypto. We discuss his recently released book, titled “Banking as a Service: Opportunities, Challenges, and Risks of New Banking Business Models” (Kogan Page 2024). The publisher describes the book as follows: “This book provides a comprehensive look at banking-as-a-service (BaaS), equipping readers with an understanding of the origins, evolution, future and applications of BaaS and the key differences across global markets.” BaaS is a game changer in the financial services sector, radically transforming both how consumers experience financial products and the business models delivering them. “Banking as a Service” cuts through the hype to provide a measured overview of BaaS, helping readers to demystify a complex evolving field, and understand its key opportunities, challenges, and risks. It provides a framework for understanding where BaaS came from, how BaaS changes the economics and business models of banking products and services, its impact on key stakeholders, and its key regulatory implications. “Banking as a Service” explains how business and operating models work, exploring different models such as interchange, deposit gathering, loan origination-to-distribute, legacy, API-first, own license, match-making and bank service providers, and offers a framework for thinking about whether or not they're sustainable. It explores how BaaS operating and business models compare in different global territories and is supported by real-world examples and cases profiling organizations such as Blue Ridge Bank, Unit, Synapse, Goldman Sachs, Railsr, Starling, Solaris, Cacao Paycard, QNB, OnePipe, Airwallex, Nium and Pomelo. It also explains the differences between BaaS, embedded finance and “open banking.” Alan and Jason discuss the answers to the following questions and topics: 1.              What do we mean when we say "banking as a service"? 2.              What are the different BaaS business models/operating models? 3.              What led to the explosion in banking-as-a-service? 4.              Why have bank/fintech partnerships had a rough go of it lately in the US and is that likely to change with a new administration? 5.              What is (or what should be) regulators' role in supervising non-bank entities in the BaaS value chain (eg, middleware, customer-facing fintechs)? 6.              What is an FBO and are FBOs the "original sin" of banking-as-a-service? 7.              What advice would you give to banks considering getting into the BaaS space? How do you see the market evolving from here - for banks, for technology providers, and for customer-facing companies? 8.              What advice would you give to fintechs that rely on a bank partner or are looking for one? Alan Kaplinsky, Senior Counsel and former chair for 25 years of the Consumer Financial Services Group, hosts the discussion.
