Episode Summary: Robots Are Building Solar Farms Robots Are Building Solar Farms: How Cosmic Robotics Is Transforming Utility-Scale Construction In this episode of the Solar Maverick Podcast, host Benoy Thanjan sits down with James Emerick, Co-Founder and CEO of Cosmic Robotics, to explore how autonomous robotics are changing the way utility-scale solar is built. Cosmic Robotics is developing an autonomous vehicle with an industrial robotic arm that installs PV modules on to racking, reducing labor intensity while improving safety and predictability on job sites. James shares why module installation is one of the most labor-intensive and OSHA recordable injury-prone tasks in solar construction and how robotics can help crews work faster and safer. They also discuss the company's approach to deploying robots in the field, using real-world data to improve performance, and expanding into adjacent tasks like QA/QC and other construction applications over time. The conversation also touches on the broader drivers accelerating automation, including labor constraints, tighter project economics, and the surge in behind-the-meter power needs from data centers and AI infrastructure. Key Takeaways Robotics can reduce crew size while maintaining or improving daily module install throughput • Safety is a primary driver, not just cost, since module install has high injury exposure • Well-scoped tasks like module placement are a practical path to field-ready autonomy • The long-term opportunity is a broader robotics platform for solar and adjacent infrastructure Biographies Benoy Thanjan Benoy Thanjan is the Founder and CEO of Reneu Energy, solar developer and consulting firm, and a strategic advisor to multiple cleantech startups.

Did you know that the actual dust on the surface of the moon is thousands of times less than expected by those who think the earth is billions of years old?All of us know that if something has a lot of dust on it, it probably hasn't been cleaned in a long time. If something has very little dust on it, it may have been just cleaned—or it might be brand new. Since there is no such thing as a moon cleaner, if our moon doesn't have much dust on it, it must be fairly new.Before American astronauts landed on the moon in 1969, space scientists were worried that a moon landing would be impossible. By that time scientists knew how much dust there was in space, and they knew how fast this dust would accumulate on the moon. Since they figured that the moon was more than 3 billion years old, they reckoned that there could be as much as 150 feet of soft dust on the moon—so deep and so soft that a manned lander might sink into the dust and never be heard from again. For this reason, they designed the lunar lander with large pads to support the machine on the soft dust.But we all know what happened—there wasn't even enough dust to plant the American flag. The flagpole had to be supported with rocks! This is exactly what creation scientists told them they would find, since the moon has been accumulating dust for only a few thousand years and not billions or even trillions of years!Genesis 1:16"And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also."Prayer: Father, I thank You for the beauty of the sky, especially the moon, which dominates the night sky. Here I see Your power in the many objects You have created. Help them to remind me that this earth is not the only world where I shall live, and as a result, seek Your Word in Scripture that I might be better prepared for the New Heavens and Earth.

The Silent Threat Women Face Heart disease remains the number one killer of women in America, yet nearly half of all women fail to recognize it as their greatest health threat. During a recent Community Health episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael talks with Dr. April Shewmake, a board-certified interventional cardiologist at Winchester Cardiology and Vascular Medicine I Valley Health, to uncover the truth about cardiovascular health. What emerged was a compelling conversation that challenges common misconceptions and empowers listeners to take control of their heart health. Understanding the Specialist's Perspective Dr. Shewmake brings a unique dual expertise to her practice. As an interventional cardiologist, she treats heart attack emergencies in the catheterization lab using minimally invasive procedures to open blocked arteries. However, she emphasizes that general cardiology—the preventive side of her work—plays an equally vital role. "Before things become an emergency or a heart attack," she explains, "that's the general cardiology piece." This preventive approach focuses on long-term care, diagnostic imaging, and medication management to stop heart disease before it starts. The Prevention Paradox Perhaps the most striking revelation from the conversation centers on prevention. According to Dr. Shewmake, between 70 and 90 percent of heart disease is entirely preventable. This statistic transforms heart health from a matter of fate into one of choice. The key lies in daily habits that many people overlook: maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, controlling blood pressure, managing stress, getting adequate sleep, and remaining tobacco-free. Nevertheless, Dr. Shewmake acknowledges that genetics do play a role. Some patients develop heart disease despite doing everything right. This reality underscores why awareness and early detection remain crucial, even for those who maintain healthy lifestyles. Recognizing the Warning Signs When it comes to identifying potential heart problems, Dr. Shewmake urges people to pay attention to specific symptoms. The major warning signs include chest pressure, shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, and pain radiating to the jaw, arms, or back. Critically, symptoms that appear during physical exertion and improve with rest signal early-stage heart disease. Furthermore, Dr. Shewmake dispels the Hollywood myth that distinguishes heart attacks from indigestion. In reality, many people—particularly young adults and women—delay seeking treatment because they assume their symptoms indicate simple indigestion. Women especially tend to experience atypical presentations, manifesting nausea and shortness of breath rather than classic chest pain. "Don't delay," she insists. "If you think something's wrong, come to the hospital." The 911 Rule Dr. Shewmake reinforces a critical safety message: never drive yourself to the hospital if you suspect a heart attack. Instead, call 911 immediately. Emergency medical services can begin life-saving treatment en route, significantly improving outcomes. This advice echoes the guidance of other cardiologists and represents a consensus among heart specialists. Women's Unique Risk Profile The conversation takes a deeper dive into the specific challenges women face regarding heart disease. Dr. Shewmake reveals that nearly 45 percent of women over age 20 have cardiovascular disease, yet less than half recognize this reality. Heart disease kills more women than all cancers—including breast cancer—combined, claiming one in three female lives. Moreover, women face distinct risk factors that men do not encounter. Hormonal changes during menopause, pregnancy-related complications, and autoimmune conditions all contribute to cardiovascular risk. Additionally, women often present with symptoms later in life but develop more complex disease. The medical community sometimes dismisses women's symptoms, compounding the problem. The Caregiver's Dilemma Janet raises an important point about women's tendency to prioritize others' health over their own. Women rush their husbands and children to the doctor at the first sign of trouble, yet they dismiss their own symptoms as minor inconveniences. Dr. Shewmake validates this observation and emphasizes the need to close the gap in how heart disease gets recognized and treated in women. She advocates for reframing primary care visits as self-care—an hour dedicated to one's own wellbeing. Using the airplane oxygen mask analogy, she reminds women that they must take care of themselves first to remain available for their families. The Rising Threat to Young Adults Alarmingly, cardiovascular disease increasingly affects younger populations. Dr. Shewmake shares that her youngest female heart attack patient was 38, while her youngest male patient was just 30. Janet recounts the tragic story of her son's two high school friends—both in their early thirties—who died from heart attacks within three months. This trend stems from rising cardiovascular risk factors among young people, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol appearing at earlier ages. Additionally, genetics likely play a stronger role in these younger cases. Young adults often assume they're invincible, delaying treatment when symptoms appear. This dangerous mindset can prove fatal. Know Your Numbers Throughout the conversation, Dr. Shewmake repeatedly emphasizes the importance of knowing four critical numbers: cholesterol, blood pressure, BMI, and blood sugar. These metrics serve as early warning indicators for heart disease risk. She encourages everyone to discuss these numbers with their primary care physician and take action when they fall outside healthy ranges. Importantly, all these risk factors respond to treatment. Modern medicine offers excellent options for managing weight, cholesterol, and blood sugar. Some newer weight-loss medications not only help patients shed pounds and lower A1C levels but also provide cardiovascular benefits. These treatments represent powerful tools in the fight against heart disease. The Technology Trap When Janet mentions the false sense of security that fitness trackers provide, Dr. Shewmake agrees wholeheartedly. While devices like the Apple Watch offer some benefits, they cannot replace a comprehensive medical evaluation. No wearable technology can measure cholesterol levels, assess blood glucose, or provide the nuanced analysis that comes from a conversation with a healthcare provider. The Path Forward Dr. Shewmake welcomes referrals from primary care physicians when patients need specialized cardiovascular assessment. She sees many patients who request consultations even when their primary care doctors deem it unnecessary, and she views these visits as valuable opportunities for in-depth risk evaluation. Cardiologists can order specialized tests and provide individualized guidance that goes beyond population-level statistics. Breaking the Biggest Myth As the conversation concludes, Dr. Shewmake tackles the most dangerous misconception about heart disease: that it primarily affects men. While society recognizes heart attacks as the leading killer of men, this awareness doesn't extend to women. This gap in understanding costs lives. Her final message centers on empowerment. She urges everyone—especially women—to listen to their bodies, take symptoms seriously, and advocate for themselves when they know something feels wrong. Heart disease may be common, but it remains both preventable and treatable. Early action saves lives, and awareness changes everything. The Simple Truth Ultimately, Dr. Shewmake's message boils down to simple, actionable steps: eat well, move more, manage stress, get enough sleep, know your numbers, and remain tobacco-free. These everyday habits make a profound difference in cardiovascular health. Combined with regular medical care and self-advocacy, they form a powerful defense against America's leading cause of death. The conversation serves as both a wake-up call and a roadmap. Heart disease doesn't discriminate, but knowledge and action provide protection. By recognizing symptoms early, understanding personal risk factors, and prioritizing preventive care, individuals can take control of their heart health and potentially add years to their lives.
Welcome back to The Leadership Boost. I'm Shaun Smit.Today I want to speak to a slightly different audience, or maybe to the leader in you who remembers being that person.We're talking about graduates. University students. Young professionals just starting out.Because here's something I see constantly: incredibly talented young people who worked hard, got the qualification, crossed the stage, and then hit a wall.Not because they're not capable. Not because they don't have potential.But because nobody ever taught them how to build a game plan for their career.And that matters. Because the leaders we develop today are the ones making decisions tomorrow.

Send us a text by clicking this link!Looking for a Lent that actually forms you, not just a box to check? We sit down with Fr. Amato—pastor of a single parish spread across three churches—for a frank, hopeful look at priestly life, spiritual fatherhood, and the kind of habits that turn belief into muscle. He doesn't sell shortcuts. He shares the daily grind: preaching every Mass like it's the first, earning trust in new assignments, and crafting penances that fit the person, not the template.We dive into a classic but timely distinction: marriage as a natural good elevated by grace versus priesthood as a supernatural vocation. Far from downgrading marriage, that clarity helps men choose with eyes open, accepting the crosses built into any faithful life. Discernment here is concrete—twenty minutes of silent prayer, the Divine Office, honest attention to what stirs when you picture hearing confessions or leading a home. If peace grows, walk toward it. If fear shouts, ask which loves you must mourn to make room for a greater one.Along the way, we get practical about Lent. Forget vague sacrifices. Identify one vice to mortify and one virtue to build. Fast for a person you love to anchor effort in charity. Write a simple rule of life and let the rule keep you when zeal fades. We also confront the drip catechesis of culture—shows that mock fathers, language that profanes, and feeds that numb. The remedy isn't panic; it's formation. Make your home a place of reverence and better stories. Shut off the noise, open the Gospels, and reclaim attention.The surprise thread tying it all together is stability. Young men are showing up, hungry for challenge, and conversions are deep because they are chosen. Parish life flourishes when we stop doomscrolling and build what's in front of us: family, friends, and the church down the street. That's where grace grips, and where Lent becomes less about restriction and more about freedom. If you're ready to trade performative penance for practices that change you, press play—and then tell us the one habit you're owning for the next 40 days.

In 1947 Dave Pace spiced up America with Salsa and this turned into a 90 Billion Dollar category. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [ECO Office Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. I’m Dave Young here talking to Stephen Semple. And the listeners may not know this because we only release these every week or so, right? Stephen Semple: Mh-hmm. Dave Young: But we often record them one after the other. And we just got done recording the episode about Doritos and Tostitos. And now you’re telling me that we’re going to talk about dip, Pace Salsa. Stephen Semple: Pace Salsa. Yeah. Dave Young: So the picante sauce people. Stephen Semple: Correct. Correct. Absolutely correct. Dave Young: And that’s great with Doritos. Stephen Semple: I never thought about it being with Doritos. Dave Young: Really? Stephen Semple: Tostitos, I would, but not Doritos. Dave Young: How about both? Stephen Semple: Okay. Dave Young: I say you can dip a Dorito into anything. I’m in that camp. I’m firmly in the camp that anything dippable is- Stephen Semple: You’re all-inclusive in your attitude towards Doritos and dip. Very open-minded. Here’s the thing I’m going to say. If someone has not listened to the Doritos, Tostitos story, you really should go back and listen to it before listening to this one because there’s certain things that kind of come together in terms of what’s happening in the world. Dave Young: Like chips and dip. Stephen Semple: And these stories are kind of linked even though this story starts in 1947. Well, the Doritos story starts in the late ’50s. They still have kind of a bit of a shared history. Dave Young: These stories that are on a collision course, a deathening. Stephen Semple: They are. And this story’s also not just about pace salsa, but it’s really about the origin of the salsa in the United States as a category, which is a $90 billion category. And the business was started by David Pace in 1947 in San Antonio and was sold to Campbell Soup in 1995 for $1.1 billion. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: So not a bad little payday. Dave Young: Not a bad deal. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So now David Pace was from Louisiana and he moved to Texas after World War II. He had been running a small food business processing sugar substitutes, which were popular both during the war and shortly after the war with rationing because of the sugar rationing. But as rationing was coming off, what he knew is there was going to be less and less of a need for these sugar substitutes. So he was looking for a new idea. And so we have to remember, it’s 1947, food’s kind of boring in the United States. It’s not diverse. It’s bland. It’s meat and potatoes. The condiment that was used to improve food was ketchup. That was the condiment to improve food, right? And Mexican food was not really a thing. About the only thing that people knew about Mexican food, it was spicy. Here’s the part that I came across that really surprised me the most. In New York City, one of the most diverse cities in the world, and certainly the most diverse city in the United States, there was just one Mexican restaurant in the city and New York at the time. Dave Young: In the ’40s? City. Stephen Semple: In the late ’40s, ’47. Dave Young: Okay. Wow. Stephen Semple: There was only one. That was it. Now, you could get Mexican food in the South because let’s face it, 100 years previous, a lot of parts of the South were part of Mexico, right? Dave Young: That’s right. Stephen Semple: As we like to remind ourselves. So here he is in- Dave Young: Well, Tex-Mex started just spreading in. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So here he is in San Antonio. He was stationed in Texas during the war and he’d settled in San Antonio, but he had never had Mexican food because now he’s off the base living in San Antonio and he tries salsa for the first time. And he’s like, wow, this is great. And he decides he needs to bring it to the market. A couple of challenges he ran into. First is how to make it. There’s lots of recipes around. He wanted to make his own version to sell the non-Mexican, so he wanted to tone down the intense flavors. He also needed to be able to jar it so it had shelf life. Here’s one of the fun challenges he ran into. A couple of the recipes he worked with would ferment once put in a jar. Well, what happens in a jar when something ferments? Dave Young: Botulism? Stephen Semple: No, kaboom. They blow up. Dave Young: Kaboom. They blow up. Okay. Yeah. Stephen Semple: So exploding jars, exploding jars of salsas, not really the objective. Dave Young: That’s never a good look either. Stephen Semple: Not really. But he gets it figured out and he brands it as Pace Picante Sauce. So it was first of all, promote it as a sauce, not a dip. And he starts selling it locally. He advertises it in the newspapers, but again, not as a dip as a sauce, like a marinade, something you brush on meat before baking. That was how it was being positioned. Dave Young: Well, it’s still, that’s the label on the jar is Pace Picante Sauce. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: I’ve always wondered about that. He did that so he didn’t have to… Well, go ahead. Stephen Semple: But that was just kind of how he thought about it. And so for over a decade, he works on building up a following in Texas. It was building slowly. He liked spicy food, but most people didn’t, because even though he took the spice down, it was still spicy. Now he hires his son-in-law, Kit Goldsbury, and Kit hates spicy food, like can’t stand it, but still thinks he can sell it. And Kit starts at the bottom working every job and works his way up. And there’s a point where Kit becomes more senior. And Pace is now in five states and is making some money. They’re having some success. Dave Young: Good. Stephen Semple: But Kit’s goal is he wants us to become coast to coast. He wants to turn this into a big thing. But here’s what he notices. It’s too hot for northerners, but northerners want flavor because they’re eating Doritos. They’re eating nacho Doritos and cheese Doritos. They’re eating those things. So it’s not like they don’t want flavor. They just don’t want the heat. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: There’s a marker for something interesting, unique, and different, but to go national, he needs to mute the heat. Dave Young: Needs to call it mild. Stephen Semple: Right. And around this time, Tostitos takes off and which is being used for dipping and it’s a massive success. So he decides to lean into the dip angle because he saw what was going on with Tostitos and he said, “You know what? We need to make this as a dip, not as a sauce, but I still need to take down the heat.” So he hires tasters to try all the jalapenos out there to find out which is the one that would work the best. Here’s the problem. Taster’s results were really inconsistent. He goes, “Okay, so I’ve still got to solve this heat problem.” So he hires a food scientist to engineer a heat-free jalapeno. Dr. Rasplicka, I think is how you pronounce his name, who basically created this measurement system for capsaicin, which is about how hot it is. And from this, they were able to figure out how to remove the heat because they were able to identify each one, able to identify the source of it and create this non-heat version of salsa. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Now, you jump the gun on it a little bit, as you often do. So remember, while Americans didn’t want heat, they wanted something interesting. So of course they didn’t call it bland. What did they call it? Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell Ad] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and trust me you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: Well, Americans didn’t want heat. They wanted something interesting. So of course they didn’t call it bland. What did they call it? Dave Young: Mild. Well, they’ve got the three. They’ve got mild, medium, and hot. Stephen Semple: Right. And that’s exactly what they did. They had the other spice levels, but they didn’t go with bland. They went with mild. Dave Young: Yeah, yeah, yeah. This the Goldilocks rule, right? Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Wow. Stephen Semple: And so therefore, and with mild, everyone can enjoy it. And then of course they offered the other spice levels and they market it as a dip. Very quickly, sales went from $3 million to over $50 million. Dave Young: I can imagine. Stephen Semple: So successful, supermarkets started placing salsa in the chip aisle because it was not in the chip aisle previously. In 1991, salsa passes ketchup as the number one condiment in the United States. Dave Young: Not till ’91. Stephen Semple: Not till ’91. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: 1995, Campbell’s buys the business for over a billion dollars. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: Now, I forget what year it was. I think it was ’92, but anyway, early ’90s, Campbell’s actually created a Heinz Salsa. Dave Young: Really? Stephen Semple: Yes. And it failed miserably. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: But if you think about it, we often bump in these situations where companies do these line extensions, right? Where it’s like, “Well, why not? It’s tomato. It’s a condiment. It’s all this other thing. We can do a Heinz Salsa.” Why wouldn’t a Heinz Salsa work? People love Heinz ketchup. They’ll love Heinz Salsa.” It bombed. It totally bombed. Like bombs so much to the degree that it only existed for about three years and they went, “You know what? Instead, we’ll spend $1.1 billion buying a competitor rather than trying to develop our own.” Dave Young: Heinz is what it is and you know what you’re getting. Stephen Semple: But how often do we see that whole line extension happen and it fails? Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right? Like Gerber’s wanting to make adult food. Dave Young: No. Stephen Semple: Doesn’t work. Heinz making salsa. Dave Young: Make adult food and call it something else. Stephen Semple: Coke understood this when they went into the energy drink market because it was not Coke energy drink. They knew that would fail. Coke understood that. They were like, “No, no. Coke’s a pop. It’s a soft drink. It’s not an energy drink. We’re going to have to do something completely different.” But it’s amazing how often businesses will make that mistake of, “Oh, well, we do this thing. Let’s also market ourselves this thing and do this line extension.” And it doesn’t work. It doesn’t work. Dave Young: I think there are just invisible boundaries that if you don’t know them and you try to cross them. And in this case, it’s the style of food, right? Heinz goes on certain things, but it doesn’t go on Mexican food. You don’t dump ketchup on Mexican food. You don’t dump mustard on Mexican food. And Heinz makes ketchup and mustard and relish. Stephen Semple: And pickles. Dave Young: Pickles and all of those things, but they’re definitely not things that you put on Mexican food. Stephen Semple: It’s interesting. I was having this conversation with Michael Torbet, one of our partners, because we’re dealing with a situation with a client, an existing client where we’re struggling with getting them to think about not doing a line extension. And I was sharing with him this whole story of Heinz and we were talking about Gerber and a bunch of other companies that tried to do line extension and have failed. And we got talking about ketchup. And I was saying to him, “Well, I think the reason why it didn’t work because ketchup is something that you put on hamburgers.” But I like how you put it. It’s not specifically about hamburgers, but the foods that you put ketchup on, because again, Heinz is successful in pickles and they’re successful in mustard, but there’s foods where pickles, mustard, and ketchup go together. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: And none of those foods does salsa go on it. It’s a different food category that salsa goes on. So you could make salsa and you could probably make cheese and that would actually work. Where you think about it, ketchup and salsa from a manufacturing standpoint are closer than salsa and cheese. Dave Young: Yeah. Those are weird associations. Stephen Semple: In fact, those companies do make cheese. They make cheese with a little bit of jalapeno. Dave Young: Yeah, absolutely. They’re right there next to the picante sauce. Stephen Semple: But I loved how you expressed it, hidden barriers, but they exist. And if you cross those barriers, it doesn’t work. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Very cool. I didn’t think about them as being hidden barriers. That’s an amazing observation. Dave Young: Like Rolex should never make a phone. Stephen Semple: Right. Dave Young: Right? Well, phones keep times like, yeah, but that’s not right. Anyway, that’s just an example. There’s just lanes. Stephen Semple: Right. But there’s a couple of luxury watch brands that tried to dip their toe into the smartwatch market and it didn’t work. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: And Rolex was not one of them, but I can’t remember who did, but they did and it failed terribly, failed terribly. Part of the appeal to a Rolex is the handmade and craftsmanship and all this other stuff. Dave Young: Well, and I don’t know. I have an Apple Watch and I have an Apple Watch not so much so I can tell time, but so it can do some other things for me. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: It can notify me. I use the timer function all the time and I could just carry a stopwatch around my neck or some kind of timer. But I also noticed that Apple sells, you can buy really fancy, upgraded, shiny, gold, sparkly, diamond encrusted versions of Apple Watch cases. The thing still does the same thing, but I don’t know how popular that stuff is. I’m guessing it’s pretty niche. Stephen Semple: I’m going to guess it probably is. And again, it’s not a line extension. It’s an add-on to an Apple Watch. It’s not a different watch. It’s an add-on. Dave Young: I think the guy that’s buying a Patek Philippe… I don’t know. Stephen Semple: Philippe Patek? Yeah. Dave Young: Or even a Rolex. Stephen Semple: Were you? Yeah. Dave Young: You’re not buying it for the same reason you’re buying an Apple Watch of any sort. And you’re not going to be fooled by the glitz and glam of the accoutrement on an Apple Watch into thinking that you’re buying a fancy watch. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: It’s still an Apple Watch. Stephen Semple: It’s still an Apple Watch. Yeah. It’s a different thing. Dave Young: Interesting. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Anyway. Dave Young: That’s a fascinating subject to just these invisible barriers. Stephen Semple: In a great book that covers this a little bit is the 22 by… Is it Al Ries and somebody? Dave Young: Trout and Ries, 22 Immutable Laws of Branding. Stephen Semple: Yeah. And one of the laws that they go through is basically don’t do line extension. And they’ve got some great stories in that book around it. And anybody interested in branding, it’s a great… I have it on my desk and it’s a bible I refer to because those 22 laws, yeah, they are like you break them at your peril. With all of Heinz power, it couldn’t extend that and instead gave up and spent a billion dollars buying a competitor. Dave Young: And probably didn’t rename it Heinz. Stephen Semple: They did not. They kept it as Pace. Yeah. Dave Young: And they learned their lesson. Stephen Semple: Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Dave Young: We’ve spent this time talking about Pace and just before this recording, we talked about Doritos, Tostitos. I’m getting kind of hungry. Are you getting hungry? Stephen Semple: Yeah. And of course we also talked a little bit about Taco Bell. Dave Young: Yeah. Yeah. Stephen Semple: As a sidebar. Yeah. A lot of food conversation here late in the afternoon. Dave Young: If people hear my tummy grumbling in the microphone, you know what’s going on. If we weren’t in different cities on the same continent, I’d suggest we go out and grab a bite somewhere, Stephen, but we’ll have to do that another time. Stephen Semple: We’ll have to do that another time. Exactly. Dave Young: I’ll bring the dip, you bring the chips. Stephen Semple: All right, you’re on. Dave Young: Thanks for bringing us the Pace story. Stephen Semple: All right. Thanks, David. Dave Young: Thanks for listening to the podcast.

The Bangkok Podcast | Conversations on Life in Thailand's Buzzing Capital
Tech Fail Alert! The last 5 minutes of our discussion was cut off by dastardly internet Gremlins, but we said most of what we wanted to say anyway. In a follow-up to the recent Thai election, Greg and Ed do their best to make sense of the unexpected outcome. Greg defers to Ed's poli sci knowledge, and Ed struggles through it despite his expertise being American politics. Before the election, polls indicate it was a three-horse race between the progressive faction, the Thaksin clan, and the conservative faction led by the current Prime Minister. Although the progressive faction was expected to grab a plurality, none of the three were expected to have the majority necessary to form a government - so the main question was going to be: Which two factions would team up? Alas, the conservative faction ended up with a decisive victory, upending many of the gains that the progressive faction made in the last election, especially in rural areas. The margin of victory was such that the issue of coalition-building was almost moot due to the plethora of small parties to build the majority. So what led to the conservative victory? Ed notes that the current Prime Minister capitalized on his incumbency to ride a nationalist wave driven by the recent conflict with Cambodia. This was somewhat expected, but not to the extent that came to pass. Other factors, such as the lack of a charismatic leader among the progressive faction could also have been a factor. Greg chalks it up to people just being tired of the constant back-and-forth where nothing ever really changes, so they just chose to stay home and not vote for anyone - basically, they prefer stability to fighting for change. Last, the guys discuss the myriad claims of mistakes in the vote count and hope the Election Commission orders some recounts in at least some districts.

Contractor Cash Flow Fix — The 4 Numbers Every Subcontractor Must Track with Dustin Young Find Rocky Lalvani @ www.ProfitComesFirst.com or email him at rocky@profitcomesfirst.com Pay-When-Paid Cash Flow: How Subcontractors Survive Long Payment Terms Subcontractors and GCs don't usually go broke because they don't have work—they go broke because cash timing, contract terms, and decision-making lag quietly squeeze them until payroll becomes a crisis. In this episode, Rocky Lalvani sits down with Dustin Young, a fractional CFO who works specifically with construction companies doing roughly $3M–$30M in annual revenue. Dustin shares the patterns he sees across contractors: "pay-when-paid" bottlenecks, contracts signed without understanding payment terms, books that are months behind, and owners stuck fighting fires instead of building systems. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why subcontractors often get stuck with "pay when paid" terms—and how to reduce the damage with cash forecasting and up-front negotiation before you sign. The question Rocky asks that exposes a common blind spot: most contractors don't know payment terms before signing, and that can mean funding payroll for 90 days without cash coming in. The 4 numbers Dustin wants contractors tracking consistently (weekly/monthly): cash, sales, gross profit, net profit—so you can make decisions based on reality, not vibes. Rocky's gross profit mindset shift: top-line revenue can fool you, but gross profit tells you what size business you can actually run. Why Dustin's "field + finance" background matters: construction companies often have a disconnect where field operations and accounting don't speak the same language, which leads to waste, margin surprises, and chaos. The failure pattern Dustin sees: businesses die when they can't make decisions fast enough—especially when job margins are unknown and the books are months behind (he mentions a company six months behind that still "thinks" they did ~$40M). Why the hardest bottlenecks aren't spreadsheets—they're people problems (trust breaks, safety incidents, long-time employees) and why owners delay decisions even when they know what has to happen. The real cost of "tax advice" spending and shiny purchases (like the $120,000 truck example), plus how to pressure-test big spends (including marketing retainers) using a cash forecast before you commit. The Big Takeaway: If you don't know your contract terms, don't measure job-level profitability, and don't keep your books current, you're not running a construction business—you're financing projects for other people and hoping you survive the wait. Forecasting and a few core numbers create the clarity to negotiate better, avoid cash traps, and make faster decisions before problems become payroll emergencies. Bio: helps construction company owners get their lives back. Most contractors he meets are doing good with sales but are trapped—working 70-hour weeks, constantly putting out fires, missing their kids' games, and wondering why they built a business that owns them instead of the other way around. He knows because he's been there. He grew up around construction and spent the last decade building and scaling construction companies—some successful, some that taught expensive lessons. He's been in the field getting projects through the finish line and in the back office building financial systems to make the whole thing work. What he learned is this: revenue growth without the right systems just means you're working harder for less freedom. And freedom—time with family, the ability to step away, actually enjoying the business you built—that's what matters most. Now, as a Fractional CFO for $3M+ construction firms, he helps owners build the financial clarity and systems they need to scale profitably and get their time back. Because hitting $5M or $10M in revenue means nothing if you're still drowning in cash flow problems and can't take a week off without everything falling apart. Links: Website: https://www.raveninsights.co/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dustinhyoung/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dustinhyoung/ Conclusion: Dustin's message is simple: construction businesses don't need more hustle—they need visibility. Know what you signed, know when cash actually arrives, and track the numbers that tell the truth. Then build systems so the owner isn't the firefighter, estimator, and bottleneck all at once. Want to stop guessing and start running your business with real numbers? Listen to the full episode and then pick one action to implement this week: review your next contract's payment terms before signing, build a simple cash forecast for the next 13 weeks, or start tracking Dustin's 4 numbers consistently. #ProfitAnswerMan #ProfitFirst #ProfitComesFirst #ConstructionBusiness #Subcontractors #GeneralContractor #CashFlow #CashFlowForecast #JobCosting #GrossProfit #NetProfit #ConstructionAccounting #FractionalCFO #ConstructionFinance #BusinessSystems #Operations #Leadership #SmallBusiness #Entrepreneurship Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!
