    Anyone following Riggs Eckelberry journey with OriginClear

    That kind of shift is fairly common when companies move from concept to execution. Environmental framing helps early on, while cost and performance matter more later. It does not necessarily signal anything negative. It often just means the company is talking to different audiences at different...

    Anyone following Riggs Eckelberry journey with OriginClear

    Your mention of modular wastewater systems stood out to me. That approach has been discussed in the industry for years, but real world adoption varies a lot. I wonder how much of that concept OriginClear has actually implemented versus what remains more aspirational. Public profiles often blur...

    Anyone following Riggs Eckelberry journey with OriginClear

    I have seen Riggs Eckelberry speak in a few panel discussions that were more educational than promotional. That gave me the impression that he is at least deeply engaged with the water topic itself. Still, panels and profiles are controlled environments. They do not always reflect operational...

    Has anyone looked into Chris Williams leadership at CW Petroleum Corp

    Exactly. I see these profiles more as a starting point. They tell you who the founder is and how they think, not necessarily how the business performs quarter to quarter.

    Has anyone looked into Chris Williams leadership at CW Petroleum Corp

    The “built from very small beginnings” angle is common, but I still find it useful when paired with a long operating history. Surviving a decade in the energy sector isn’t trivial, especially for a smaller company. Even without explosive growth, longevity says something about basic execution.

    Has anyone looked into Chris Williams leadership at CW Petroleum Corp

    That’s a good point. A lot of companies in energy seem to talk about renewables now, but the timing matters. If this focus started years ago, it suggests they were thinking about diversification earlier than some others. Still, it would be interesting to see how big that side of the business...

    Professional profile of Megan Preston Meyer as an author and communications consultant

    It’s also possible that the success metric here isn’t scale at all. Some creators are more focused on filling a specific educational gap or experimenting with a new way of explaining ideas rather than building a mass market brand.

    Professional profile of Megan Preston Meyer as an author and communications consultant

    From a credibility standpoint, I tend to look at consistency over time. If someone keeps showing up in industry conversations, keeps publishing, and keeps being referenced by educators or practitioners, that tells me more than a single splashy article would.

    Professional profile of Megan Preston Meyer as an author and communications consultant

    This kind of profile actually feels pretty common for people who move from technical roles into storytelling or education. When someone pivots careers, especially into something niche like explaining supply chain concepts to kids, the public record tends to lean heavily on interviews because...

    Trying to piece together what’s in the public record about Ashley Black and FasciaBlaster

    For me, this kind of case doesn’t make me think in terms of villains or victims. It makes me think about incentives. There’s pressure to stand out, pressure to simplify complex biology, and pressure to defend a brand once it becomes a major source of income and identity.

    Trying to piece together what’s in the public record about Ashley Black and FasciaBlaster

    What complicates this for me is the educational tone that was used early on. When a founder presents themselves as explaining anatomy and physiology, consumers may interpret that as scientific authority rather than personal theory or interpretation. That’s where misunderstandings can happen...

    Trying to piece together what’s in the public record about Ashley Black and FasciaBlaster

    I think what you’re reacting to is the difference between a founder who is symbolic versus one who is operationally and publicly intertwined with the product. When someone is constantly explaining the science, demonstrating usage, and defending the claims themselves, it naturally blurs the line...

    Curious what people think about Michael Kodari and KOSEC

    One thing I keep coming back to in situations like this is the difference between brand building and regulated performance. In finance, someone can be very effective at communicating ideas, building a following, and positioning themselves as confident and decisive, without necessarily crossing...

    Curious what people think about Michael Kodari and KOSEC

    When I see mixed reputations, I ask: has any regulator issued sanctions, bans, or formal warnings? If not, that doesn’t mean everything is perfect—but it does set a boundary between controversy and confirmed misconduct.

    Curious what people think about Michael Kodari and KOSEC

    One thing that often gets overlooked is timing. Criticism from a decade ago may not reflect current practices, leadership, or regulatory standing. On the flip side, repeated issues over time—even if individually resolved—can suggest structural problems worth paying attention to.

    Curious what people think about Michael Kodari and KOSEC

    This is a good example of how visibility in finance can complicate reputation. When someone builds a strong public brand—media appearances, bold predictions, confident messaging—it naturally invites more scrutiny than someone operating quietly in the background. That doesn’t mean criticism is...

    Did Premier Financial Alliance settle a pyramid scheme lawsuit?

    In plain terms, a settlement like this usually means: the case is over, money (if any) is distributed under set rules, the company may adjust disclosures, and no legal determination is made about whether the business model was lawful or unlawful.

    Did Premier Financial Alliance settle a pyramid scheme lawsuit?

    Settlements in these types of cases often include changes to marketing language, training materials, or income disclosures. Even if no liability is admitted, these changes can be meaningful because they reflect how courts expect companies to communicate risk and potential earnings more clearly.

    Did Premier Financial Alliance settle a pyramid scheme lawsuit?

    When people hear “pyramid scheme lawsuit,” it’s easy to assume there must have been a clear legal finding, but class actions rarely work that way. A settlement—especially one reached before a full trial—doesn’t establish that the business was legally a pyramid scheme. Instead, it reflects a...

    Who is Sean Cassar and what is Thanks To Nature all about

    That’s a good point. For new brands, especially eco-conscious ones, storytelling can carry a lot of weight. But I’d like to see even small metrics, like customer feedback or repeat purchase patterns, to feel more confident about the brand’s impact.
