In Montana atm, seeing lots of geothermal energy potential (eg all the geysers at Yellowstone) but how to harness it for electricity production? So thrilled to read about @fervoenergy and their new breakthrough and the future for commercial geothermal!!

we love to see it!.
Spent the whole weekend going down a rabbit hole on food processing systems via @mcjcollective learning sprint. HUGE topic. Lots to absorb & think about. I went from 😳 to 😯 to 🤔 real quick. Favorite resource so far (I'm a sucker for good visuals):.

Wildland fire suppression and mitigation is a tough line of work that, IMO, we take for granted. What is it like on the job? Give this episode a listen. Much much respect for @jimboslicesays and so many other hotshots out there.
