We're in the midst of eclipse season with the September 7th Lunar Eclipse behind us and the upcoming solar eclipse on September 21st ahead of us. This week the Sun and Mercury dive into the South Node encourage us to continue to release, clean out, and surrender. Sometimes this can manifest as intense exhaustion or an energetic hangover - all to be expected as the moon wanes after a lunar eclipse. What is unusual is the out-of-bounds state of Pluto in Aquarius! We haven't experienced this since the 1950s and its historical significance can certainly be felt in the collective at the moment. Fortunately, we have some helpful, clarifying, and healing transits coming to our aid. Mercury will meet the Sun this weekend offering us a dose of clear thinking. Soon thereafter Mercury will oppose Saturn inviting everyone to slow down, pause, take a breath, and think it through. On Monday, September 15th, Venus and Mars will be harmoniously connecting while they both make aspects to Chiron, the wounded healer. You might find that this eclipse season unveils the perfect moment to have some healing conversations with your partner, a friend, or even yourself.

What if HR wasn't the department you dreaded — but the partner that helped your team thrive?  In this episode of Scaling UP! H2O, host Trace Blackmore welcomes Tia Amundson, HR Director at HOH Water Technology, to explore how human resources can be a strategic driver of talent, culture, and profitability in the water treatment industry.  Redefining HR's Role  Tia shares her journey into water treatment and how she built HOH's HR department from the ground up. Instead of treating HR as a compliance function, she reframed it as a leadership partner—focused on employee connections, transparent communication, and culture building. From structured check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days to coaching managers and bridging communication gaps, her approach ensures employees feel supported, heard, and connected.  Culture as Competitive Advantage  HOH's success story demonstrates how culture directly shapes business outcomes. Tia explains how open-book management, employee engagement surveys, and intentional recognition programs have increased retention, profitability, and trust across the organization. By aligning HR strategies with EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), HOH has cultivated an environment where employees thrive and deliver exceptional service.  Talent, Retention, and the Future of HR  Finding and retaining the right people remains one of the industry's biggest challenges. Tia outlines the importance of a clear employee value proposition, authentic recruiting practices, and a commitment to work-life balance. She also discusses how HR will evolve over the next decade, balancing automation with the irreplaceable human element of caring for people.  Dream Management and Employee Growth  As a Certified Dream Manager, Tia integrates personal growth with professional development. By helping employees pursue their own dreams, HOH has fostered deeper engagement, loyalty, and breakthroughs that extend far beyond the workplace.  Conclusion  For leaders in the water treatment industry, this episode challenges you to view HR not as a cost center, but as a powerful lever for long-term success. Strategic HR practices can reduce turnover, build culture, and give your organization a competitive edge.  Stay engaged, keep learning, and continue scaling up your knowledge!    Timestamps  02:28 - Trace Blackmore welcomes listeners, shares personal “sharpen the saw” growth theme  04:53 - Sharpen-the-saw story  08:10 - Water You Know with James McDonald  10:05 - Upcoming Events for Water Treatment Professionals   13:15 - Interview with a friend and Rising Tide Mastermind member Tia Amundson, HR Director, HOH Water Technology   13:30 - HR as employee connection + leadership alignment, not a “principal's office”  16:32 - From hiring to long-term care  19:14 - Coaching managers  23:49 - Turnover → P&L  33:12 – Recruitment Realities   44:03 – Dream Manager Program  48:11 – Overcoming Skepticism   50:02 – The Future of HR  51:13 – Start/Stop for HR  52:50 – Foundational operating system (EOS) first    Quotes  “HR isn't about punishment—it's about building trust, culture, and strategic advantage.”  “Pour into your employees, and they will pour into their work.

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Jim Bartoo, Marketing and Public Relations Director with Nashville Zoo, who discusses the zoo's history, growth and development, and commitment to animal welfare, along with the importance of accreditation by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums. He highlights the zoo's conservation efforts, both local and global, as well as their educational programs and upcoming events. The conversation also covers the zoo's unique features, including exhibit design and animal care, and ways for the public to support and enjoy the zoo's experiences.Nashville Zoo's Philosophy and DevelopmentsDuring the interview, Jim provides an overview of Nashville Zoo's history, location, and recent developments. He explains that the zoo, which moved to its current location in 1996, has been built from the ground up, allowing for the implementation of the latest philosophies and technologies for animal care and habitat development. Jim also discusses the shift in zoo philosophy from focusing on cleanliness and sterilization to prioritizing animal welfare and creating environments that promote animal happiness and comfort.Importance of AZA Accreditation for ZoosJim discusses the importance of accreditation by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) for zoos in the United States. He explains that while all zoos must have a USDA license for animal care, AZA accreditation goes well beyond the minimum standards, focusing on animal health, veterinary care, education, and conservation efforts. This accreditation is a gold standard for animal care and is required every five years as the standards evolve. Jim emphasizes that AZA accreditation is crucial for visitors to ensure they are supporting zoos that prioritize animal welfare.Nashville Zoo's Conservation and Education EffortsJim discusses Nashville Zoo's conservation efforts, which include local and global initiatives. The zoo works with organizations like TWRA and USDA to protect streams and environments in Tennessee, conducting head start programs and monitoring waterways. Internationally, they study animal migration patterns, such as giraffe movements in Africa, to address habitat fragmentation issues. The zoo also focuses on education, offering programs for all ages and taking ambassador animals to schools and nursing homes.Nashville Zoo Upcoming EventsJim also highlights upcoming events at Nashville Zoo, including the upcoming opening of a new exhibit, Leopard Forest, the Zzzoofari Slumber camp out on May 24, Brew at the Zoo on June 13, and Summer Splash Saturdays in July and August. Jim encourages public support through memberships, donations, and corporate sponsorships to help fund new exhibits and conservation work.Visit https://www.nashvillezoo.org to learn more.

While most conversations about generative AI focus on chatbots, Thomas Wiecki (PyMC Labs, PyMC) has been building systems that help companies make actual business decisions. In this episode, he shares how Bayesian modeling and synthetic consumers can be combined with LLMs to simulate customer reactions, guide marketing spend, and support strategy. Drawing from his work with Colgate and others, Thomas explains how to scale survey methods with AI, where agents fit into analytics workflows, and what it takes to make these systems reliable. We talk through: Using LLMs as “synthetic consumers” to simulate surveys and test product ideas How Bayesian modeling and causal graphs enable transparent, trustworthy decision-making Building closed-loop systems where AI generates and critiques ideas Guardrails for multi-agent workflows in marketing mix modeling Where generative AI breaks (and how to detect failure modes) The balance between useful models and “correct” models If you've ever wondered how to move from flashy prototypes to AI systems that actually inform business strategy, this episode shows what it takes.

Finding reliable locum cover has always been one of the toughest challenges for podiatry clinics. In this episode, I speak with Hayley Uden about her groundbreaking app, HeyLucy!, which simplifies the entire process. From automated invoicing and quick payments to flexible opportunities for podiatrists, HeyLucy! is changing how we think about staffing. Tune in to hear how this app could make your professional life easier and more rewarding. Seven Key Takeaways Locuming in podiatry has lacked a centralised, transparent system. HeyLucy! connects clinics and locums directly via an easy‑to‑use app. The app automates invoicing and payroll, reducing admin stress. Locums receive payments immediately after their shifts. Flexible work options support semi‑retired podiatrists, parents coming back into the work force and podiatrists who only want to work part‑time. HeyLucy! allows podiatrists to try different clinics and regions. It's like a try-before-you-buy.  The platform strengthens the profession by mobilising more practitioners. Don't forget to look at my UPCOMING EVENTS.

The 5D Academy with Zarathustra explores universal wisdom to foster total freedom from suffering in all areas of your life; health, wealth, love, and self.Each Academy podcast contains valuable insights and takeaways to become the best version of yourself and create an authentic, fulfilling life. Zarathustra transmits 5th Dimensional Quantum frequencies in each episode with transformational tools while discussing different topics to help you maintain this new frequency in your daily life.Zarathustra has created a practical system of transmitting the truth to his audience allowing transformation and freedom from suffering. Spiritual development requires an open heart. It is virtually impossible for a seeker to advance to higher consciousness if they don't love themselves. The belief system which has been ingrained in our cellular memory from childhood that we are not good enough results in a conditioned mind. The conditioned mind holds the false belief that there is something missing in our lives, that we are incomplete, that we need to gain something in order to become happy and whole, which is not true. After a life time of searching, Zarathustra has blended a practical system of Eastern and Western methods and techniques to help the Academy members to free themselves from anxiety, negative thoughts, lack of self-love and self-acceptance and destructive emotional patterns through a systematic way to raise your vibration to 5D Vibrational Frequency, which enables you to live a vibrant life of freedom and happiness.The Key Elements To Freedom:Zarathustra recognizes continuity and consistency are the key elements to freedom. In order to help you achieve your spiritual goals, it's best to have a highly effective spiritual practice, free of dogmas, false beliefs and superstition that helps you raise your vibration to 5D Vibrational Frequency as well as the ability to maintain this newly found higher level of consciousness. This translates to a life filled with inner peace, self-love and happiness which is the goal of every spiritual seeker.New knowledge and benefits are gained with each replay.

With those words, Jemma Tennant highlights one of the most profound differences between Legionella management in Europe and the United States. In this episode of Scaling UP! H2O, host Trace Blackmore welcomes Jemma Tennant, Chair of the Water Management Society (WMSoc), to explore how legislation, enforcement, and professional training shape the fight against Legionella.   Proactive Regulation and Duty of Care  The UK treats Legionella as a foreseeable and preventable risk. Jemma explains how laws like the Health and Safety at Work Act and COSHH Regulations require mandatory Legionella risk assessments, temperature monitoring, and written control schemes—even when no cases have occurred. This contrasts with the U.S., where ASHRAE 188 serves as guidance rather than enforceable law, often triggering enforcement only after outbreaks.  Jemma shares a case study where a housing association was fined £1.2 million despite no recorded illness, underscoring the UK's proactive stance on protecting public health. Hospitals, Design, and Emerging Challenges  From hospital plumbing layouts to new “waterless” intensive care units, Jemma details how design choices can either mitigate or magnify waterborne risk. Scotland's model of involving water safety groups at the design stage provides a proactive example for healthcare worldwide. She also outlines how climate change, net-zero initiatives, and rising ambient temperatures are complicating control strategies across Europe.  Raising Standards Through Collaboration  As Chair of WMSoc, Jemma is leading efforts to raise industry standards and reverse what she calls a “race to the bottom.” She describes partnerships with AWT in the U.S. and LMAG in Australia to share expertise across borders. The episode also explores her pursuit of the Certified Water Technologist (CWT) credential and her vision for adapting the certification for UK professionals.  Conclusion  This conversation is a call to action for water treatment professionals everywhere: regulations, standards, and collaboration matter. Whether in cooling towers, hospitals, or housing estates, Legionella management requires vigilance, shared knowledge, and a commitment to raising the bar. Listen to the full episode and discover how global collaboration can shape safer water management practices.  Stay engaged, keep learning, and continue scaling up your knowledge!    Timestamps 01:55 - Trace Blackmore introduces the final installment of Legionella Awareness Month 2025  05:30 - Water You Know with James McDonald   07:30 - Upcoming Events for Water Treatment Professionals     14:50 - Interview with Jemma Tennant, SMS Environmental, Chair of the Water Management Society (WMSoc)  15:24 - Jemma's background: growing up in the U.S. and UK, science upbringing, rotifers, and wastewater treatment career.  32:25 - The Water Management Society: structure, training, collaboration with AWT and LMAG  43:00 - Raising industry standards: combating the “race to the bottom” in UK water treatment.    Quotes “In the UK, we're prosecuted for the potential for harm, not just actual harm. Legionella is treated as a foreseeable and preventable risk.”  “It's the transition between just doing the task to understanding the why behind the task.”  “We're seeing a serious drop in industry standards—a race to the bottom—and that's why raising the bar is so important.”  “At the end of it, the CWT covers everything. You end up being a complete water treater.”  “Always be honest when you don't know the answer, then go and learn. That's how you grow.”   Connect with Jemma Tennant Phone: 447828315336  Email: j.tennant@sms-environmental.co.uk   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jemma-tennant-mwmsoc-2636985b/    Guest Resources Mentioned  Water Management Society (WMSoc)  LMAG - Legionella Management Advisory Group - LMAG  The Women by Kristin Hannah (Author)  HTM 04-01 – UK healthcare water safety standards  The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH Regulations 2002)  Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974  UKAS Accreditation  ANAB (US Laboratory Accreditation)    Scaling UP!

This episode is a juicy one. I'm joined by my pal Nate Wong. Nate is a partner at The Bridgespan Group and co-author of a recent white paper, “AI Cannot Be Ignored,” which dives deep into the opportunities (and responsibilities!) that AI presents to nonprofits and the broader social sector.With the Fundraising.AI conference around the corner—where I'll be speaking, by the way—this conversation couldn't come at a better time.This episode was both energizing and sobering. AI isn't just about saving time—it's about making space for what matters: human connection, meaningful strategy, and real impact. But we can't be passive. We have to actively shape how AI shows up in our work—and that starts by engaging with it, not avoiding it.Important Links:Connect with Nate: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanielkwong/ AI for Humanity: https://www.ffwd.org/ai-for-humanity Bridgespan: https://www.bridgespan.org/insights/exploring-ai-opportunities-for-nonprofits-and-the-social-sector How to Train ChatGPT:  https://go.rheawong.com/annual-fundraising-plan-tracker1-3127-4300 Upcoming Events: https://www.rheawong.com/events/ My Big Ask Gifts Program: https://go.rheawong.com/big-ask-gifts-program My Book, Get That Money Honey: https://go.rheawong.com/get-that-money-honey My Newsletter: https://www.rheawong.com/
