1—Newsletter & podcast highlights

As always, we shipped our Tuesday newsletter and Thursday podcast each week. I also kept my commitment to daily LinkedIn instigation (😂) on Monday-Thursday.

My highlights for those of you that are short on time:

• On the pod, we covered GEBs with Cindy Zhu, virtual power plants with one of my climate heros, Jigar Shah, the one where I got interviewed by Rosy Khalife, and our fourth M&A Roundup with Joe Aamidor and Jeanne Casey.
• On the blog, we continued the 5 part series on The Humans of Smart Buildings, a series about the humans we wrap around the tech stack to form the smart buildings ecosystem.
• This series announces our new Partner Program. We're looking for early adopters to help us craft the program and influence the direction of the industry with us. More info here.
• Nexus t-shirts!
