Mike Adams - aka "Cajun Mike" - has grown his company, E3 Termite and Pest Control, by leaps and bounds over the past few years. One reason is he can treat and bond buildings with sprayfoam insulation and I can find no other companies around who will. His focus on service and technlogy is a perfect match. Then I visit with Norman McCrummen and Carol Grant to talk abot NEST - a local service for at-risk youth. Lots of kids out there need help and NEST is doing a great service for the community.

Brent Woodall is a candidate for Alabama Public Service Commission and has insight into why citizens of Alabama pay higher utility rates than our neighboring states and why our state has so few solar installations compared to our neighbors. I checked the details and he's right. I called in Lagniappe Weekly Newspaper's Managing Editor Rob Holbert to help with the interview. Bottom line: The citizens of Alabama are getting screwed.

Scott Tindle is fresh off a trip to the Middle East and Egypt with the US State Department to represent the US's interest in web 3.0 technology. Johnny Gwin adds to the conversation with his deep understanding of the technology and I try to keep quiet or risk total embarrassment and I do a poor job. 

Hurricane Ivan wiped out Beatrice, Alabama's Monroe Meats but a small team of investors brought it back. Their flagship product is Monroe Sausage and it is fantastic. Hear managing partner David Steele tell the story of the company and of today's surging growth. And, heck, go find some and try it for yourself - you'll be happy you did.

Solar technology continues to advance. More energy can be gained from a solar panel than ever before. And the panel's are lasting longer than ever. Sam Yates sees huge opportunity in Alabama because of abundant sunshine and the fact that the state lags behind neighboring states in deploying solar technology. And lags by a LOT. Hear Sam's plan for growing his company and find out why Alabama is so far behind. Foreshadowing: if you're an Alabamian, you won't be happy.

This week my favorite economist in all the land returns to address the status of the world today. Tulane's Peter Ricchiuti makes predictions for inflation, addresses rumors I've heard about corporate bankruptcies, and addresses what the government's huge infusion of cash post Covid may do to us. He also updates us on his MBA program call The Burkenroad Reports.

Farmers from Mississippi, Georgia, and Alabama bring their peanuts to Atmore, Alabama and sell them to Coastal Growers, LLC run by Dirk Lindsey. Dirk's been in the peanut industry for a long time, traveling the world consulting on growing, harvesting, and shelling peanuts. He now makes his home in Alabama (his final stop, he says) to oversee the new facility in Atmore. The farmers also have ownership in the facility, keeping the profits in their communities. It's a great story of many numbers of banks, influencers, and federal agencies pulling together to make it happen.
