A MEDIA COLUMN - ENERGY The world wants to use less coal but uses more. The only solution? LOCAL SOURCES and small interconnected grids. Electronics (48V DC) and changing the transformations to other places than we do now. We lose to much energy. We store to much energy. We don't do as nature would do. Local sources? In NL, we already applied heat exchangers in sheet pile walls of harbour and canals (company Crux). We also applied heat exchangers from earth water in further mining area (company Mijnwater). DIY, on our off-grid farms Peppelhof, Eykelenbosch and Hermanushoeve, we applied solar and wood gassing from our abundance food and resource forest (39 ha for 39 self-sustaining families). Rocket stoves and more. In Belgium, Blue Earth Innovation (biomimicry engineering company) is applying Nikola Tesla's patents for Free Energy on a heritage-listed estate. In Spain (canary island El Hierro), they have solar roads directly connected to the cars. In theory, you can outphase batteries and lithium mining this way. What are the biggest hurdles? 1. You have to use energy when you produce it. No storage. 2. Laws are hindering progress. Off-grid is forbidden in NL and it is still a huge fight with the law. Laws are just made for big companies and set in stone. Not for citizens wanting to live cheap with what nature provides. 3. Nothing is agile in our man made world. Everyone is just protecting their cashcows. 4. Low voltage DC appliances (fridge, freezer, hairdryer, cooking equipment, computers, etc) are hard to get in normal stores. You have to shop in boating or caravan stores... And when you do...? Life opens up to new possibilities and immense innovations. Free for all. Because nature does the work for us... You can become a nomad, like Mike and me. Simple life with one suitcase... 🌏😂❤️🤸🏽‍♀️ #restoring #planet #basicneeds

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 - 𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐨 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 🌿 The last 1.5 year have been a true discovery into the unknown, letting go of all types of comfort zones that gave me the illusion of safety; a relationship that was not aligned anymore, but still stayed, a way of life that was not purely authentic to me, but still choose living that path as long as I could, taking on work gigs that were paying good enough, but was not in line with what I envisioned if I would have followed my boldest dreams. Due to a number of “coincidences” (as we call them, but they never are) all of these so called comforting structures lost its ground and the figurative rug was pulled away under my feet. I had suddenly nowhere to go, nothing to do and nothing to find. And that was exactly what was needed in order to propel me forward to where I was meant to be (for now that is). After spending a month on the land of one of my best friends Carlijn Nelissen from ON.PURPOSE STUDIO in Portugal, I was disconnected from wifi, 4g, and all “normal” comforts. I became grounded again in… well… me! The almost forced connection to nature and the forced disconnection from ‘the grid’ was a completely transformative experience, and only later realized what the impact was it had on me. Thanks to her, my path has led me to move to Portugal. Where the lands felt free, undiscovered, raw, rough, connected and to nature in ways that I missed all my life, but never realized until it happened. Now, fast forwarded into the now; I'm so grateful for the freedom seekers that have paved the way like Carlijn Nelissen, showing that an entrepreneurial life is possible executed from a completely different perspective. In alignment with nature and taking life much more slowly than we’re programmed to from a young age. Since living here off grid now for 1.5 year on my land, I have met so many people with similar stories. Almost all people I have met here have “fled” the rat race, to live a more pure and free life, with a lower cost of living, however, still very much have the desire to be of value to society in a much more organic and natural way. So this is a little Monday morning motivation, for all the freedom seekers. There are other ways to go about it, discover what it is that you seek. What is it that you're chasing and what really means success to you? To me the greatest measurement of success is: free time. We only have a limited amount of it and can't be regained once it’s spent. For those who missed the podcast I recorded with Carlien Cavens from Unplug48, see below. Where I share a little bit more about my transition from Corporate life in Amsterdam, to living off-grid in Portugal. PS: The new dates for the ‘(UN)PLUG Your Business Retreat’ are from 7-11 October. For now, have a beautiful day! Lonneke

Second subsidy announcement! Looking forward to discussing topics like the circular economy tomorrow at Austin Tech Week as well. During my session tomorrow, we'll be talking about substantial ways to create impact as a startup, such as through the reduction of waste. Any EV powered by batteries must incorporate designs that enable batteries to be reused and recycled, otherwise we're just contributing to more pollution and waste as a result of trying to be emissions-free. #AustinTechWeek #CircularEconomy

“The Mystery of the Digits: Sensitech’s Dirty Secret Hidden in TempTale Serial Numbers” We believe the public deserves transparency, so today we’re sharing a critical document called the TTRecycle sheet—a file sent to us by Joost van Bohemen, an ex-board member #Sensitech EMEA BV. According to Joost’s testimony under oath at Rechtbank Den Haag this document is NOT confidential. This TTRecycle sheet illustrates Sensitech’s questionable practices regarding #TempTale devices, specifically used/ recycled, non-validated TempTales that cannot be traced or verified during #audits, jeopardizing compliance in #food, #pharma and US Army #coldchain & #supplychain Here’s what we’ve uncovered: • If you’re using a TempTale4 Single Use device, look for a 4th digit of 8 or 9 to identify a recycled unit. • For a TT4USB Single Use, watch for the last 5 digits between 27000-35000 to spot a reused device. • The first 3 digits reveal the production date, giving insight into how old your TempTale really is. Here’s the kicker: When we pressed Matt Mathai, a senior Sensitech figure, for clarity on these used/recycled devices, his response was astounding. Matt declared, “The production date is #proprietary and will not be shared outside of the company.” Yes, you read that right: Sensitech considers the production date of YOUR purchased TempTale “proprietary information.” When pressed further, Matt doubled down with hostility, replying in angry red font, as if that would silence us. Industries relying on these devices—food, life sciences, and even the U.S. military supply chain—deserve better than recycled, untraceable devices hidden behind secrecy. And while #Halloween has passed, at Sensitech, it’s still trick or treat. You order a TempTale for your cold chain operations, expecting the quality promised in Sensitech’s datasheets and #QMS. Instead, you might receive a recycled, non-validated device, unreliable for audits or critical shipments. This isn’t just poor customer service—it’s about accountability. TempTales are critical tools for protecting public health and safety. If Sensitech is this secretive, the question isn’t just what they’re hiding, but why. Should companies like Sensitech, a Carrier Commercial Refrigeration subsidiary face scrutiny for these practices? While the cold chain industry stakeholders remains silent—who will step up and break it?” At least let’s discuss. #MilitarySupplyChain #FoodSafety #LifeSciences #SupplyChainRisks #CorporateAccountability #AuditCompliance #BusinessEthics #PublicHealth #SpeakUp #WhistleBlowerProtection #FraudAwareness #ProductionDate #ProductionCertificate #OpenDiscussion #Debate #Pharmaceuticals

Sensitech & Carrier Commercial Refrigeration employees at Ethical Crossroads : Will You Stand for Integrity or Stay Silent? At Sensitech, some employees and most of management seem to treat selling used, recycled, and non-validated #TempTale devices as if it’s entirely normal. Yet, the company’s leadership consistently denies the existence of the TTRecycle practice—a denial that should raise serious questions about what your company is really up to. If that doesn’t make you suspicious, it should. In light of this, you’re left with two clear choices—and a third, more troubling reality: • Do the Right Thing Report these practices based on your Code of Ethics Speak Up platform. Acknowledge that what’s happening is far from transparent, ethical, or aligned with industry standards. Choose to #SpeakUp for #integrity and accountability. • Turn a Blind Eye Ignore the problem. Remain #Silent Collect your paycheck, chase that bonus, and enjoy your weekends. Maybe you don’t care about the industry or the impact of selling questionable devices. But ask yourself—is this really the legacy you want to leave behind? • The Troubling Reality  For those unfamiliar with my story, check my previous posts when you have the time. Under David Gitlin’s “leadership” #whistleblowers like my wife Wendy and me have faced relentless retaliations, lawsuits, violations of our First Amendment rights, threats, harassment, financial ruin, and isolation—all for reporting in accordance with Carrier's Code of Ethics, by exposing Sensitech's fraud and corruption. If you’re an employee wondering about Gitlin’s commitment of “no retaliation”, take it from us: they’re as empty as the ethics he claims to uphold. Sensitech and Carrier have already shown they will weaponize the legal system against anyone daring to speak up. So, which is it? Will you stay complicit, silent, ignoring the damage to industry integrity and customer trust, or will you stand up for the integrity of the cold chain and the industries that depend on it? The choice is yours. Please don’t ignore my previous advise: Lawyer up before you Speak Up ! #WhistleblowerProtection #LawyerUpBeforeYouSpeakUp #PublicHealthMatters #CorporateAccountability #EthicsInBusiness #SpeakUp #LawyerUP #FraudAwareness #ISOCompliance #CorporateGovernance #Malfeasance #Pharmaceuticals #FoodSupplyChain #ColdChain #Integrity #Leadership #RiskManagement NAVEX

"Collaboration/Symbiosis/Interdisciplinary/Integrated approach is the new mantra to grow". Collaboration, Symbiotic relationship, Interdisciplinary approach, Integrated approach all these words indicate that we can grow together because it is the only way to grow. There is no single way approach which can provide us with sustainable solutions. From functional unit of our body i.e. Cell to the whole Universe the whole system is complex and works in a cohesive manner. We all are part of an ecosystem which works in sync. Whether it is mother nature, multiple countries, states within countries, zones within states, and even individuals of society, per say organs of body, cells of body we all are connected and work in collaboration to make the system work and sustain in every difficult situation. From Business problems to health problems we have to rely on multiple paths to get sustainable solutions; one single strategy never works. If we look at Definition of Health, it has different angles like physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. On the same line while dealing with any health problems we can not deal with it in isolation. Integrated approach is key. So let's grow together and fight against health problems like Non communicable Disease (NCD) and heal this world peacefully with the HealZen approach. #iD_Health_Consultancy, #HealZen_Clinic, #HealZen_PRO_Therapeutic_Protocol, #NCD_Reversal_management, #StressManagement, #Functional_Nutritional_Therapy, #Emotional_Wellbeing, #Mental_Health, #Heal_Peacfully

Innovatie in de praktijk… “US battery start-up Lyten is committing more than $1bn to build the world’s first large-scale factory to produce lithium sulphur batteries, an emerging technology that could help break US dependence on China for metals crucial for the energy transition.” “The factory, located in Reno, Nevada, is expected to start production by 2027, the first target set for the commercialisation of a type of battery that could challenge the incumbent lithium ion. The battery does not rely on graphite, nickel, manganese, or cobalt — metals in which the vast majority of the world’s supply is controlled by Beijing.” Lees hier het volledige artikel: https://on.ft.com/3YnyMYp

- AI wordt onze ondergang! - Tut tut, niet zo somber. Waarom denk je dat? - Deepak Chopra de Verschrikkelijke is into AI! 🤓 Deepak Chopra on why he believes artificial intelligence could be a "spiritual guide" | CBS A legend in well-being, Deepak Chopra has been at the intersection of science and spirituality for almost half a century, meeting world-class leaders and celebrities alike and becoming a best-selling author with his dozens of books. Born and raised in New Delhi, India, Chopra moved to the United States in his 20s, beginning his career as an endocrinologist before growing into a prominent figure in the New Age movement who became famous for teaching meditation to household names like Oprah and Michael Jackson. In his 95th book, "Digital Dharma," Chopra explores his beliefs about technology and spirituality — like why he believes artificial intelligence is the key to personal growth. He told "CBS Saturday Morning" that while some people may prefer to focus on the "doomsday scenarios" associated with the technology, he wants to look at the positives. "You can use AI for self-reflection. You can use AI for research as a research assistant, you can use AI as a health coach, both physical and mental, but even more important as a spiritual guide," Chopra, 77, said. "You have access to all the spiritual luminaries of humanity since the dawn of history." https://lnkd.in/eaGEGRTs Meditation can be harmful – and can even make mental health problems worse | The Conversation The first recorded evidence for this, found in India, is over 1,500 years old. The Dharmatrāta Meditation Scripture, written by a community of Buddhists, describes various practices and includes reports of symptoms of depression and anxiety that can occur after meditation. It also details cognitive anomalies associated with episodes of psychosis, dissociation and depersonalisation (when people feel the world is “unreal”). https://lnkd.in/egy7ytY8 #AI #genAI #LLMs #DeepakChopra #fake #spirituality #charlatanerie #xrisk #doomsday #scenario #newage #guru #scammer #swindler

🤔 What are the building blocks of a winning fundraising story? 🤔 Today, I am off to Belgium to work with a client gearing up for their series B fundraising round. A series B story is not a series A story is not a seed story. However, while each fundraising stage presents unique challenges and investor expectations, some elements remain constant. Every compelling narrative, regardless of context, rests upon four pillars, which Aristotle described over two millennia ago: 1. clarity 2. trust 3. connection 4. timing. Depending on the interaction stage and the company's maturity, we can emphasize some of them more. But all of them are necessary to pitch a winning story: to get funding, grow a successful business, and make the world a healthier place. ➡ How about YOUR story: 🔴 Is it clear? 🔴 Can we trust you, your team, and your science? 🔴 Are we going to get excited? 🔴 And most importantly, why should we invest now? Do you want to learn more about the four building blocks of a winning fundraising story? Download the FREE ebook in the comments. ⬇ #CEO #fundraising #story #health

Why I still believe in physical brainstorms? Elke Geraerts recently talked about 'Smombies'—smartphone zombies— and the lack of depth and real connection these days. I couldn’t agree more, and that’s why I’m a big fan of gathering around the same table for a good old-fashioned brainstorming session. To me they still are: 👥 More personal- Nothing beats the connection of face-to-face interaction—it adds a layer of authenticity that virtual calls just can’t replicate. ⏱️ More efficient- Conversations flow faster, and there’s less room for miscommunication. 🎉 More fun- Maybe it’s just me, but there’s something energizing about bouncing ideas around in person. It’s less formal, more dynamic, and just... better.
