Roy Wood Jr. is a trailblazing comedian, writer, and broadcaster whose journey spans from FAMU to Birmingham, to the national stage on The Daily Show. Rooted in southern culture and steeped in the realities of Black America, Roy’s comedy mixes sharp insight with raw authenticity, making audiences laugh—and think—with every performance. He's the author of "The Man of Many Fathers," a deeply personal book exploring the values and mentorships that shaped his life after the loss of his own dad at 16. Both on stage and in print, Roy uses humor as his tool to challenge, inform, and uplift, leaving a lasting legacy for his son and his audience. Takeaways: Legacy with Purpose: Roy sees comedy not just as entertainment but as a way to affirm Black experiences and open eyes to hard truths—his mission is to inform, confirm, and bridge communities. Improvise and Adapt: Roy's career started by necessity—he created his own internship at Hot 105.7 to fit his schedule and circumstances, teaching himself the craft of radio and standup by learning from real-life experiences and mentors. The Power of Storytelling: His ability to blend humor with pain and depth, especially in his specials and book, showcases how storytelling can invite audiences into reflection, empathy, and growth. Sound Bytes: "I do what I do in an effort to...confirm to our people, to Black people, that they aren't crazy in what they're seeing and what they're feeling..." "I got my first internship–I need an internship. I believe your morning show could use some hard news in the morning...Van said, bring Starbucks Frappuccinos and a dozen Krispy Kremes every day, and I'll see you at 5:15 sharp." "Pain is a tool. Sorrow can also be woven into this fabric of what you're presenting...the written word will always have worth."

From Kenny Rogers to Federal Prisons Management: Jeff Bowe's Journey 1:04:36

לפני 16 weeks1:04:36

1:04:36

Send us a text Jeff Bowe's remarkable career trajectory reads like a modern-day Forrest Gump story, taking unexpected turns through the entertainment industry, federal prison system, and government contracting. During this fascinating conversation, Jeff shares how a college football injury led him to join Kenny Rogers' tour crew selling merchandise, eventually becoming one of Kenny's personal bodyguards and flying on private jets to performances nationwide. When a chance conversation with a fellow deputy sheriff revealed significantly higher pay at federal prisons, Jeff pivoted again, beginning a decades-long career with the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Rising through the ranks across eight different states, he developed expertise in facilities management while supervising inmate work programs. His natural talent for recognizing inefficiencies and implementing practical solutions helped him transform failing operations into successes. Perhaps most fascinating is Jeff's work with Federal Prison Industries, where inmates manufactured everything from military vehicle components to missile command system wiring harnesses. Under his leadership, these programs not only saved taxpayer money but provided inmates with valuable vocational skills that reduced recidivism. In one particularly successful initiative, Jeff brokered relationships with private employers who hired his trained inmates immediately upon release. Ryan and Kelly expertly draw out the connecting threads between Jeff's diverse experiences, highlighting how his curiosity and willingness to question established processes ("We've always done it this way" being his most hated phrase) led to innovations across multiple industries. Listeners will find valuable insights about transferable skills, relationship building, and approaching problems with fresh perspective regardless of their field.

HVACOLOGY Talks to Daikin about R32: The Future of Refrigerants 58:15

לפני 26 weeks58:15

58:15

Send us a text The refrigerants powering our air conditioning systems are undergoing a major transition, and understanding this shift is crucial for anyone involved in the HVAC industry. In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of R32 refrigerant with Daikin Applied experts Sharon Haeg and Rob Landes, who break down complex concepts into practical knowledge you can use. Remember R22? Then R410A? Now we're moving to lower global warming potential (GWP) alternatives, with R32 emerging as a leading solution. Sharon and Rob explain why these transitions matter, dispelling myths about A2L refrigerants along the way. Perhaps most valuable is their practical explanation of A2L refrigerant safety. The "low flammability" designation often raises concerns, but as Sharon memorably puts it, "you can walk faster than the flame travels." This conversation covers what technicians, building owners, and contractors need to know about working with these next-generation refrigerants, including equipment considerations, building design implications, and tools needed for safe handling. We also explore the fascinating relationship between refrigerant choice and decarbonization efforts. Rob explains how efficiency gains from R32 systems have significant environmental benefits, especially while our electrical grid remains partially powered by fossil fuels. Efficiency isn't just about monthly utility bills – it's a critical component of sustainable HVAC solutions. Whether you're a seasoned HVAC professional or simply curious about the technology keeping your spaces comfortable, this episode delivers valuable insights into the future of cooling technology.

Send us a text Heat recovery systems and series counterflow applications represent groundbreaking approaches to dramatically improve HVAC efficiency and reduce energy costs across commercial and industrial buildings. • Heat recovery captures wasted energy and repurposes it where needed in a building system • The coefficient of performance (COP) measures efficiency - heat recovery systems can achieve COPs of 3.5 to 8.0 • Modern heat recovery systems can be eight times more efficient than conventional fossil fuel heating • Series counterflow arrangements reduce chiller "lift" requirements, improving efficiency by about 25% • Even small commercial buildings can benefit from energy recovery ventilation (ERV) systems • Water-to-water heat pump systems can simultaneously provide heating and cooling • Air-cooled chillers run in series can significantly improve efficiency and help achieve LEED certification • Heat recovery is becoming increasingly important as energy costs rise, even in regions with historically low rates Please like and subscribe to our podcast, HVACology.

Destratifying Comfort: How Zoo Fans Revolutionizes Air Distribution 53:28

לפני 38 weeks53:28

53:28

Send us a text Cooper Bohn takes us inside the world of innovative air distribution with a fascinating look at how ZooFans is transforming comfort in commercial spaces. As Cooper explains, these small but powerful fans address a fundamental challenge in buildings with high ceilings: temperature stratification, where heat collects uselessly at the ceiling while occupants below remain uncomfortable. What makes this conversation particularly engaging is discovering how ZooFans (cleverly named for Zone of Occupancy) delivers benefits far beyond the expected energy savings. Cooper shares compelling stories of real-world applications, including a Virginia distribution center that not only reduced heating costs by 25% but also measured a surprising 5% increase in worker productivity. The facility manager received hugs from grateful employees who could finally work comfortably without restrictive winter clothing – a truly unexpected metric of success in an industrial setting. Perhaps most fascinating is how comfort translates directly to business outcomes. A national grocery chain installed ZooFans above refrigerated aisles not primarily for energy savings but because comfortable shoppers lingered longer and purchased more cheese! This insight led to a massive 500-store rollout. Meanwhile, Amazon has installed over 14,000 ZooFans in distribution centers worldwide, reducing production stoppages during hot weather and improving working conditions. The technical details are equally compelling: with a 2.1-year ROI according to Department of Energy estimates, minimal maintenance requirements, and integration capabilities with building automation systems, these fans create more predictable environments while transforming concrete floors into heat sinks that maintain temperature stability even when doors open. Whether you're managing a warehouse, a retail space, or a manufacturing facility, this episode reveals how something as seemingly simple as air movement can dramatically improve both human comfort and operational efficiency.
