Scott Schwartz shared thisSpotted on the Stripe docs: a "Copy for LLM" button. They recognized how many people are copy and pasting from their docs into AI so they make the button copy the page content as markdown for easy consumption. Smart. This will be copied quickly. I suspect in the near future web servers will respond to a user agent string of "User-Agent: Claude" with markdown instead of HTML.

Scott Schwartz shared thisThere's a cohort of folks who are primarily concerned with all things financial, and little else. For those people, take heed: caring about climate change isn't about "tree hugging;" All businesses -- everywhere -- are going to be affected if we don't start acting with speed and focus. When insurance companies with decades of data under their belts say "we're not going to be able to price this risk," we should all be paying attention. Proud as ever to be part of the Renewables.org team working to fight the good fight against global warming.Climate crisis on track to destroy capitalism, warns top insurerClimate crisis on track to destroy capitalism, warns top insurer

Let's ask Lassor Feasley, Cofounder of Renewables.org, who's helping you access solar projects where they matter most, in communities that rely heavily on coal for electricity. Like this?

Scott Schwartz shared thisInstead of giving more *stuff* that'll just end up in a landfill, consider giving the gift of sunshine this season. It's your chance to do more than the folks at COP28 and better than a donation to The Human Fund.Scott Schwartz shared thisJust in time for the holidays, Renewables now offers gift cards. When recipients claim the Panels you gift them, they'll start generating electricity and earning cash repayments from solar projects across the Global South!

But we CAN cut through noise by knowing that clear beats clever when it comes to communications. A super panel lineup and a discussion that demanded actual listening, no notes here!

Scott Schwartz liked thisScott Schwartz liked thisEurostar just upgraded its new trains to handle 131°F — the "Sahara option." Last October, the company ordered 50 new trains rated for 113°F. Then France recorded its three hottest days ever. Last week, Eurostar changed the order. The reasoning is simple: the trains enter service in 2031 and run into the 2060s. The CEO says she expects temperatures now associated with Saudi Arabia — possibly even in the UK — within the trains' lifetime. Paying more for heavier air conditioning, she said, "will be worth it." Set aside the models and the debates. Watch where companies put money when their own equipment has to survive the forecast. A €2 billion train order is a climate projection with a balance sheet attached. This is why we finance solar in the Global South — because the fastest way to slow this is to keep carbon out of the atmosphere wherever a dollar goes furthest.

Scott Schwartz liked thisScott Schwartz liked thisHey guys, it's a hot one! But it's also a hot week here on the SoloPro Network. We got a couple of episodes dropping this week. First, on Small & Gutsy, Dr. Laura Scherck, DSW, LICSW interviews Lassor Feasley — now he's the CEO of Renewables.org. It's an organization where you make 0% interest loans that they then repay back to you over five years. What are they doing with that money? They're using it to invest in solar in the Global South, where it really makes an impact! You're going to want to check this episode out and see how you could check out Renewables.org and see if you can be part of that process. Then, over on Bella in Your Business, Bella Vasta drops another episode on #AI. She's giving you some great tips this week, including things like the fact that the difference between a GPT and an agent — GPT answers questions, an agent actually gets things done. She talks about how if you do everything right, you can get 90% of the work in your business done by AI, leaving you to do the most crucial 10% of it. You're going to want to check out that episode — that's Episode 472 of Bella in Your Business. You can find links to both of these over on the SoloPro Network website. Hey guys, have a great day!

Scott Schwartz liked thisScott Schwartz liked this13 years selling into France from a base in London. And it still doesn't feel like a compromise. I started my career in Paris, lived there for five years, then moved to London in 2013. And somewhere along the way, I built a career that kept me connected to both. Last week I was back with my colleague Antoine S., visiting some of our Trint customers and partners. The Eurostar dropped us in the centre of the city in under three hours. City centre to city centre, no airports, no drama. Two and a half hours on a train. Thirteen years of it. At some point it just became the commute. London for the energy, the parks and the pubs. 🇬🇧 Paris for the food, the terraces and a market I've never stopped being close to. 🇫🇷 Not everyone gets to feel at home in two cities at once. I'm grateful I found a way to make it work.

Scott Schwartz liked thisI had the privilege of standing alongside the Faeth team as we rang the Nasdaq Closing Bell to celebrate becoming a public company. Definitely a milestone and it had me reflecting on how much has changed over the years, and also what has not. From the beginning, the people have pulled me in and kept me here. Our cofounders genuinely cared, not just about building a company, but about the work itself: finding better treatment options for cancer patients. Watching our leadership evolve while staying true to those values has been one of the greatest privileges of my career. I'm especially grateful to have been a part of this whole thing from the very beginning. Here's to the next chapter!

Scott Schwartz liked thisScott Schwartz liked thisThis morning, I had the pleasure of being a guest on "Our Chicago" with Tanja Babich at ABC 7 Chicago. I loved her questions about the connections between Illinoisans and the ideals in the Declaration of Independence! https://lnkd.in/gyCMvc8w Afterwards, I spent time on Michigan Avenue, right across from the Wrigley Building, recording conversations for Illinois Humanities' Illinois Voices 250 with colleagues Jitesh Jaggi and Erin Drain. The plaza had so much energy! People from Puerto Rico and New Zealand, visitors from Ohio and Peoria, and recently naturalized citizens. A highlight was meeting 2-star Army General James Mukoyama, who talked with me about his commitment to support veterans in Illinois. One of my favorite conversations was with a Russian-Uzbekistani woman who expressed her appreciation for the diversity in the US. She told me that it reminded her of her childhood in Uzbekistan, where her school was filled with children from many different ethnic backgrounds. I also taped an interview with America250 in their airstream. But here's the thing - if you feel like "my story isn't interesting" or "I don't have anything to say" - that's not true. Resisting that feeling is uncomfortable. Bucking it takes practice. But it matters - because what each of us wants, needs and deserves in our country is worth talking about. It's a big part of why I find it so humbling and energizing that people are willing to talk together about their lives, relationships and how they feel about the country and the distance between what it is and what it could be during IL Voices 250. Grateful to Illinois America 250, StoryCorps, City of Chicago, Choose Chicago, ABC News, and The Magnificent Mile® Association for helping today happen. #Illinois250 #IllinoisVoices250 #CommunityVoices #PublicHumanities #Storytelling #IllinoisHistory #WeThePeople

At Daya Labs, we run the back office of multi branch home care agencies two ways. Centralized, one team for every location. Decentralized, each branch on its own. We have clients thriving on both. This is not an argument that one is right. It is an argument about where the line should sit. People facing work belongs close to the people. The caregiver relationships, the family conversations, the calls that need someone who knows the case and the community. That is local knowledge, and decentralization protects it. Pull it into a central team and you lose the thing that made it work. Back office work is the opposite. Eligibility, authorization entry, reconciliation, AR. It follows rules. It moves data between systems. And when each branch does it its own way, you get six versions of the same process, six conventions for entering authorizations into AlayaCare, six definitions of a clean claim. That variation was a feature when humans ran the work. It becomes a tax the moment you hand the work to software. Automation used to mean one repeatable process. AI loosens that. It can handle variation a rule based system never could. But handling variation is not the same as handling it well. Every version it has to account for is more cost, more to verify, more room to drift. Agentic AI does not remove that tax. It just pays it more quietly. So the line is not centralize or decentralize. Keep the people facing work local. Centralize the back office. That split happens to be the same line as what to automate and what to leave human. #HomeCare #AlayaCare
