Don Day is the co-founder of Boise Dev. Don and his wife co-founded the news source almost a decade ago and focused on local development in the Treasure Valley. This flew in the face of most other news outlets, many of which have national level ownership and focused on things other than hyper local issues. Hearing how this went from a one article a day project to now having a full time staff of 11 was incredible. Part of the solution to bringing our communities back together may be to help people engage in more localized issues that actually impact them on a daily basis, like a Costco on Hill Rd. Enjoy!

Joey Palmer is the assistant superintendent for Vallivue School District in Idaho’s Treasure Valley. There is a large conversation occurring across Idaho and the United States about the inundation and educational ROI that parents and schools are getting with technology. Almost all schools have identified personal tech devices like cell phones as a large problem, but many are also realizing that school administered tech is also a problem. Joey and Vallivue are taking a bold stance by starting to walk back the tech saturation. He came in to explain what they’re doing and, more importantly, how it’s helping the kids. Enjoy!

Scott Nichols is a geothermal expert who has been working in the industry for decades. He came in to explain the nature and potential of geothermal power, from heating buildings to producing energy for our lights. The problem, however, is that although geothermal is indeed a baseload, green energy source, it takes considerable time to find and build out. Additionally, you’re not looking at making a 1000 megawatt geothermal plant anytime soon. Plants that come online are usually in the range of 5 to 50 megawatts. For reference, Idaho Power has a daily max load of around 4,000 megawatts and is trying to get that up to 5,500 megawatts in the next 5 years. As all experts have expressed, we need every energy source on the table, and geothermal will surely be one of them. Enjoy!
