OJ Simpson’s estate has agreed to pay nearly $58 million to the family of Ron Goldman, who was killed along with Nicole Brown Simpson in 1994. Although Simpson was acquitted in criminal court, he was later found liable in a civil trial and ordered to pay more than $33 million; interest and penalties have pushed the total dramatically higher. A flood advisory is in effect, and the show will be broadcasting live from Smart & Final in Yorba Linda this Friday, where Tim jokes about auctioning everything in his garage while begging the clouds to stop the rain. Attorneys representing survivors of the Eaton Fire in Altadena have filed a lawsuit against Southern California Edison and Genasys Inc., alleging the utility sparked the blaze and Genasys failed to send critical evacuation warnings, contributing to the death of a woman in the fire zone. Construction crews in both Topanga Canyon and Altadena are dealing with the latest round of storm damage and heavy rain impacts. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Abigail Sawyer and Brian Turner of Advanced Energy United and the West Wide Governance Pathways Initiative launch committee discuss the renewed possibility of a seamless, westwide power market that would be governed by a regional organization. The recent passage of California's Assembly Bill 825 cleared the way for California entities to participate in such a market, which, with the load and resources of California's investor-owned utilities, presents a compelling opportunity for non-California entities. Brian also discusses lessons learned from market structures in the Eastern Interconnection and how the California Independent System Operator's extended day-ahead market hopes to avoid making the same mistakes.

Nov. 12, 2025- We explore the work of upstate utilities serving nearly 2 million New Yorkers, including upgrading their transmission capacity and investing in infrastructure. Our guest is Trish Nilsen, CEO of New York State Electric & Gas and Rochester Gas & Electric.

Peter Asmus, microgrid expert and author of the upcoming book "Alaska Microgrid Innovators," breaks down the current state of microgrids and battery storage. He explains why Alaska leads in microgrid innovation and what the rest of the U.S. needs to learn from remote communities.Peter Asmus brings over 15 years of experience covering the microgrid sector. He has authored five books on energy and provides consulting through his website https://www.peterasmus.com/. His latest work focuses on Alaska's pioneering role in developing community-scale microgrids for remote, off-grid locations.Key Discussion Points• Alaska leads microgrid innovation due to remote communities, high diesel costs, and military installations needing reliable power• Data centers now drive microgrid growth because utilities cannot provide power fast enough for AI infrastructure• Microgrid controllers have advanced significantly with AI integration, allowing different manufacturers' equipment to work together• Energy as a service models eliminate upfront costs. Peter's solar and battery system reduced his utility bill to under $10 per year• Community microgrids require utility involvement and experimentation with different ownership models rather than a one-size-fits-all approach• Open standards prevent vendor lock-in. The industry moved away from proprietary systems like early Apple iPhone models• Technology exists today for large-scale microgrid deployment. The main challenge is calculating the economic value of resilience• Utility costs in the U.S. increased 30% over the last three years, making distributed energy more economically competitiveAlaska shows us the future of microgrids. The lessons from remote communities apply everywhere resilience matters.Connect with Peter Asmus LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pathfindercommunications/Website: https://www.peterasmus.com/ Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

Sarah Williams, founder and CEO of Leading Culture and former director at GAP Consulting for 23 years, brings her accounting background and business growth strategy expertise to a spirited debate about ROI, value-based pricing, and why companies leave money on the table.  From her home in New Zealand (Mark's second favorite country), Sarah challenges conventional pricing wisdom—arguing that ROI applies to both B2B and B2C, that we should ignore competitors when determining value, and that the antidote to the curse of knowledge is thinking with a beginner's mind.  Mark pushes back on opportunity costs, explains why competitor pricing matters, and uses everything from vests to Louis Vuitton handbags to make his points in this engaging conversation about helping customers understand the true value of what they're buying.   Why You Have to Check Out Today's Podcast: Understand why teaching customers to think in ROI is the fastest way to eliminate buyer's remorse, increase prices, and differentiate from competitors who focus on features. Discover the beginner's mind approach that prevents the #1 mistake pricing experts make—assuming customers know what seems "obvious" to you. Master vulnerability-based trust by inviting customers to ask questions without fear—the counterintuitive sales technique that accelerates deals faster than "looking professional".   "Think in terms of value from the customer's perspective." – Sarah Williams   Topics Covered: 03:01 - Why ROI Should Be Everyone's Decision-Making Framework 06:10 - Helping Customers Think in ROI Terms: Your Job as the Provider 08:12 - Utility in Economics: The B2C Alternative to Monetary ROI 20:00 - The Opportunity Cost Debate: Pricing vs. Budgeting Decisions 25:19 - Differentiation Value: Starting with Competitor's Price, Then Adding 27:57 - Louis Vuitton vs. $40 Handbags: Conspicuous Consumption and What People Really Buy 32:31 - Starting with a Blank Slate: Thinking Myopically About Customer Value 35:32 - Final Advice: Think in Terms of Value from the Customer's Perspective   Key Takeaways: ROI on its own can be a decision-making framework. From the point of view of maybe even making a personal decision, I can think about, well, what's the return on investment? And that might even be an investment of my time." - Sarah Williams "We're doing our customers a disservice if we're not helping them to think in terms of ROI. Like, what really am I getting? Because buyer's remorse is really, really prevalent. People make split-second decisions now and then live to regret it 24 hours later." - Sarah Williams "In economics, there's this concept called utility, right? So, I think in terms of when you're thinking B2C, now you're shifting the conversation a little bit more towards the utility angle in economics." - Sarah Williams   People / Resources Mentioned: Jim Collins: Author of "Good to Great" Chip and Dan Heath: Authors of "Made to Stick" and the concept of the curse of knowledge Patrick Lencioni: Leadership expert who popularized vulnerability-based trust and predictive trust concepts GAP Consulting: Where Sarah served as director for 23 years Complete Learning Solutions: Where Sarah was Chief Inspiration Officer Louis Vuitton: Used as example of luxury pricing vs. commodity pricing iPhone: Example of blue ocean differentiation where customers don't compare competitor prices Huawei: Mentioned as iPhone alternative that iPhone users don't consider when upgrading   Connect with Sarah Williams: Email: sarah@leadingculture.co.nz Website: https://www.leadingculture.co.nz/home  AI Summit Link: https://www.leadingculture.co.nz/ai-summit-registration-page   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com

Technology is evolving faster than our understanding of it. In this episode, Shekeese and I dive into the creative and ethical tensions shaping today's digital world. We examine how nonprofits, designers, and educators wrestle with AI-generated art versus original creativity, revealing why comprehension matters more than speed. Drawing parallels between AI mastery and martial-arts discipline, we argue that foundational knowledge must precede innovation. We contrast hustle-culture pressures, echoed by voices like Gary V., with the virtue of deliberate practice and media literacy. From rebranding challenges to copyright debates around music, NFTs, and AI, we explore ownership, authenticity, and regulation in a world where creativity and technology collide. This is a deep look at mastery, understanding, and responsible progress in the digital age.--------- EPISODE CHAPTERS ---------(0:00:00) - Tech, Language, and Miscommunication(0:04:04) - AI Comprehension Over Utility(0:09:06) - AI in Media Literacy(0:17:36) - The Lost Art of Learning(0:28:49) - AI, Music, and Copyright Law(0:36:34) - Importance of Regulation in SocietySend us a text

Early voting wrapped up for Tuesday's referendum on the control of Gainesville Regional Utilities. Although 33% of GRU customers are outside of the city, the first challenge to the legality of the referendum was overturned by a court. Regardless of whether the referendum is allowed, maintaining the utility in the state board's hands keeps rates lower for metro area customers. Why a ‘no' vote prevents a continuation of high rates to fund Gainesville handouts.

Economic Indicators and AI in Business Guest: Gene Marks Gene Marks shared mixed economic indicators across the United States: slow activity in Las Vegas and struggling farm equipment manufacturers offset by busy utility distribution contractors benefiting from infrastructure spending programs. His main focus centered on artificial intelligence, advising businesses to integrate AI assistants like Grok or Claude to boost workplace productivity substantially. Marks cautioned that reliance on cloud infrastructure, highlighted by the recent AWS outage, combined with concerns about data privacy and security necessitate accepting calculated risks for potentially high rewards.

In this special Investing 101 episode, the Rational Reminder hosts—Ben Felix, Dan Bortolotti, and Ben Wilson—team up to revisit the fundamental concepts that every investor should understand before diving deep into portfolio construction or market theory. Drawing from Ben's original "Investing 101" presentation and years of client experience, the trio lay out why investing matters, how inflation shapes your future, what stocks and bonds really represent, and why a disciplined, evidence-based approach beats prediction and luck every time. They unpack core ideas like financial independence, risk versus volatility, global diversification, and market efficiency, then connect them to practical tools like ETFs and Vanguard's asset allocation funds. Key Points From This Episode: (0:00:24) Why this episode revisits "Investing 101"—inspired by a listener still unsure how to begin.

As we head to the end of the year, with new 2026 models out or on the way, many buyers are looking for end of year deals.  We are doing a review of some of our reviews of popular models, just in case....A trail tamer or a family hauler—what truly fits your life right now? We put two 2025 standouts under the microscope: Chevrolet's Colorado ZR2, a factory-built off-road machine with real armor and beadlock-capable wheels, and Kia's Sorento SX Prestige with the X Pro package, a smart three-row SUV tuned for comfort, tech, and daily ease. Along the way, we unpack the details that matter beyond the brochure: how the ZR2's underbody camera and rocker protection change your confidence on rocky terrain, why the lifted suspension improves clearance but complicates step-in height, and how the TurboMax four-cylinder's 430 pound-feet moves the truck even when it sounds busy.Shift to the Sorento and the vibe changes. Dual 12.3-inch panoramic displays streamline navigation and driver info, while a digital rearview mirror widens your view in traffic. Heated and ventilated seats in both the front and second-row captain's chairs elevate comfort, and rear door sunshades beat tint when you don't want darkness at night. On the road, 17-inch wheels with taller sidewalls calm bumps and cut harshness in a way low-profile tires rarely can. With up to 4,500 pounds of towing in the 2.5-liter turbo AWD setup, the Sorento handles small trailers and weekend projects without drama, and city maneuverability stays stress-free.We also get practical about numbers. The Colorado's ZR2 pricing reflects serious hardware and a 7,700-pound tow rating when equipped, all in a package that still fits a standard garage. The Sorento's value story spans from accessible base models to a feature-rich SX Prestige around the high $40Ks as tested, competing in a crowded segment with a flexible third row that doesn't feel oversized. By the end, you'll know whether your miles call for rock gardens and skid plates or a calm commute with room for kids and cargo.If you enjoyed this breakdown, follow the show, share it with a friend who's shopping, and leave a quick review to help others find us.

On a quiet afternoon in Punta Cana, Michael Levine sat alone on a stretch of white sand. The turquoise water and silence offered the perfect scene for rest—until he realized what was missing. “I didn't have my phone and I didn't have my laptop,” he tells us. “That's what makes me happy… I love doing work from the beach.” It was there, after stepping down as Payoneer's CFO, that Levine accepted a truth about himself: he wasn't ready to retire.Levine had spent 11 and a half years helping Payoneer scale from about 100 employees to 3,000 and from $150 million to more than $80 billion in annual volume. He guided the company from private to public in June 2021 and from unregulated to regulated operations. When he left in 2023, he planned a pause but instead found himself drawn to a new frontier.Calls from crypto companies arrived during what he calls the “crypto winter.” Although he had once avoided digital assets entirely, he became fascinated by “decentralized finance,” “smart contracts,” and the tokenization of real-world assets. A meeting arranged by Spencer Stuart with the CEO of Fireblocks solidified his next move. “When you don't know which horse to pick in a race,” Levine tells us, “buy the racetrack.”Fireblocks, he explains, is the infrastructure that secures digital assets for enterprises through self-custody and cyber-grade protection. For Levine, it was a chance to apply a career's worth of scaling and governance experience to a technology poised to define the next decade of finance.

Many of us probably didn't realize that a portion of our utility bill goes to the city of Minneapolis to essentially fund a bigger and bigger government. The largest art robbery in the history of Minnesota involved stealing Norman Rockwell paintings. Johnny Heidt with guitar news.
