We have covered this on Building Fortunes Radio and on MLM News https://mlm.news Overview of the Florida Direct Sellers & Consumers CoalitionThe Florida Direct Sellers & Consumers Coalition (FLDSCC) is a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and protecting the direct selling industry in Florida. fldscc.org Established to advocate for independent entrepreneurs, the coalition focuses on engaging lawmakers, safeguarding the direct selling channel, promoting public awareness, and expanding educational opportunities for those involved in this business model. Its core mission is to strengthen the direct selling community through advocacy, collaboration, and education, ultimately building a more secure and prosperous future for direct sellers and consumers alike. By championing policies that foster innovation and fairness, FLDSCC ensures that the direct selling sector—often encompassing network marketing, affiliate programs, and independent contracting—remains a viable pathway for economic independence in the state.At its heart, FLDSCC operates as a bridge between industry stakeholders and policymakers. It actively participates in influential groups such as the Florida Chamber of Commerce and the U.S. Direct Selling Association (DSA) to influence legislation and promote best practices. This involvement allows the organization to advocate for protective measures against regulatory threats, such as shifts in non-compete agreements highlighted in recent Federal Trade Commission (FTC) discussions. Through these efforts, FLDSCC works to maintain an environment where independent entrepreneurs can thrive without undue restrictions. The coalition serves a diverse audience, including company members (direct selling firms), vendor members (suppliers and service providers), and individual independent contractors. This broad base enables collaborative initiatives that drive industry growth and policy reform. Key activities include hosting high-profile events to raise visibility and build networks. For instance, FLDSCC launched with a successful kickoff event at the Florida Capitol, bringing together lawmakers, industry leaders, and entrepreneurs to discuss the sector's future. Following this, the organization expanded its footprint by announcing a new office in Sarasota, enhancing its ability to engage with members across the state. These events underscore FLDSCC's commitment to community building and direct interaction with decision-makers.In terms of programs and services, FLDSCC emphasizes education and awareness campaigns tailored to empower entrepreneurs. It offers resources to help individuals navigate the direct selling landscape, including training on compliance, business development, and market trends. Advocacy remains a cornerstone, with the coalition lobbying for policies that protect the gig economy's integrity while highlighting the industry's economic contributions. Nationally, direct selling generates $111.4 billion in economic impact, producing $15.5 billion in taxes and a multiplier effect where every $1 in retail sales yields $2.75 in broader benefits. In Florida alone, 2023 sales reached $2.4 billion, creating $6.4 billion in total impact and $346 million in state and local taxes, with a 2.67 multiplier. Globally, FLDSCC's members reach tens of millions of consumers, supporting entrepreneurs through innovative tools and community support.Structurally, FLDSCC is led by a distinguished board that blends industry expertise with political influence. Founder and Executive Chairman Gordon Hester, alongside Co-founder Ryan Chamberlin (a Florida House Representative), guide the organization. Other key members include Stuart Johnson (CEO of Direct Selling News), Connor Hester (CEO of ShapeTech Solutions), Dave Grimaldi (CEO of DSA), Bryan Harrison (Amway's State Government Affairs Manager), and Aspen and Brent Emry (leaders at Bravenly Global). This leadership team ensures strategic direction, leveraging their collective experience to advance the coalition's goals.Looking ahead, FLDSCC's initiatives focus on membership growth to amplify its voice in economic and policy arenas. By fostering partnerships and tracking trends in related economies like the gig and affiliate sectors, the organization positions itself as a pivotal force in Florida's entrepreneurial ecosystem.

  • Terry Kelliher gives link to Public Access Media Project on Kell News with Peter Mingils
    Mar 3 2026
    Loading… 0:00 0:00 Founder Terry Kelliher to the domain names for Public Access Media Network Peter Mingils and Terry Kelliher talk weekly about the Public Access Media Network. This week Terry reveal access to the domain name to sign up and test how it works, as they work on the live version.Here's the link:https://publicaccessmedia.network The Public Access Media project will be launching in second quarter of 2026. On this epsode Terry Kelliher talks about an initial goal of having at least 10 users from each congressional district in the United States. The Architecture of Representation: Understanding Congressional Districts At its core, the United States House of Representatives is built on a simple, democratic promise: your voice should be heard based on where you live. To manage this for a nation of over 330 million people, the country is carved into 435 congressional districts. These aren't just lines on a map; they are the fundamental units of American political power. 1. The Math of Apportionment The number of districts is capped at 435, a limit set by the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929. Every ten years, following the U.S. Census, the federal government goes through a process called apportionment. If a state's population grows significantly, it might gain a seat (and thus a new district); if it shrinks or stagnates compared to other states, it might lose one. While every state is guaranteed at least one representative regardless of size (like Wyoming or Vermont), larger states like California or Texas have dozens. 2. The Art of Redistricting Once the number of seats per state is decided, the states themselves must draw the boundaries. This is redistricting. The primary rule is that districts must be roughly equal in population—currently about 760,000 people per district—to ensure "one person, one vote.” However, the process is rarely just about math. In most states, the state legislature controls the drawing of these lines. This often leads to gerrymandering, where boundaries are manipulated to favor one political party or group over another. By "packing” opposition voters into one district or "cracking” them across several, politicians can effectively influence the outcome of elections before a single ballot is cast. 3. Why Districts Matter to You Your congressional district determines who represents your specific local interests in Washington, D.C. While Senators represent the entire state, a House Representative is focused on the unique needs of their district—whether that's urban infrastructure, rural farming subsidies, or coastal flood management. Proximity: Representatives often maintain local offices to help constituents navigate federal agencies (like the VA or Social Security).The Electoral College: The number of districts a state has directly impacts its influence in Presidential elections, as a state's electoral votes equal its total number of Representatives plus its two Senators. 4. Who Controls the Lines? Because redistricting is so influential, many states have moved toward Independent Redistricting Commissions. These are non-partisan or bipartisan groups designed to take the "politics” out of the map-making process, prioritizing geographic continuity and community interest over party advantage. Summary Table: Key Terms TermDefinitionFrequencyApportionmentDividing the 435 seats among the 50 states.Every 10 yearsRedistrictingDrawing the actual lines within a state.Every 10 yearsGerrymanderingDrawing lines to benefit a specific party.OngoingConstituentsThe people living within a specific district.Constant Congressional districts are the gears of the American republic. They ensure that as the population shifts and grows, the "People's House” shifts along with it. Understanding your district is the first step in understanding how your specific community plugs into the massive engine of federal government. Local access media is a big advantage for new political candidates who don't have much money. In politics, beginners and those with small budgets struggle against experienced politicians who spend a lot on ads. But there's a helpful tool available locally that many people overlook: public access media.This includes public, educational, and governmental (PEG) channels—like community cable TV, local radio, and online streams run by cities or non-profits. These are set up for regular people to use, often at no cost or very low cost. Laws in many places require them to let citizens speak out.For people running for office, these channels do two great things: They let you help your community for real, and they quietly build support for your campaign.Here's how it works. These media follow rules from the FCC that focus on non-commercial content. You can't air regular campaign ads, but you can make shows that teach or inform people. These shows can show what you know and care about. Start by looking up your local PEG center—try searching "public ...

  • Jean Luc And Peter Mingils talk about France Ukraine and Nuclear weapons Plus AI datacenters on Building Fortunes Radio
    Feb 28 2026
    Loading… 0:00 0:00 Jean Luc and Peter Mingils talk about France and now Ukraine sharing Nuclear Weapons and Magnetic Frequencies and AI datacenters on Building Fortunes Radio The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has fundamentally altered the blueprint of the modern data center. In 2026, the industry is no longer just "consuming” power; it is reinventing how electricity is converted, distributed, and managed at a scale previously reserved for heavy industrial plants. As AI models grow in complexity, the power demand per rack has surged from a traditional 5–10 kW to upwards of 100 kW, with some specialized clusters projected to reach 1 MW per rack. To meet this "AI power crunch,” engineers are developing a new generation of power supply technologies that prioritize density, efficiency, and modularity. 1. The Shift to 54V and 800V Architectures For decades, the 12V DC busbar was the standard for delivering power to server components. However, at the extreme power levels required by modern GPUs (like the NVIDIA Blackwell series), 12V systems face massive "copper loss”—energy wasted as heat due to high current traveling through cables. To combat this, the industry has shifted toward 54V (and 48V) power shelves. By increasing the voltage, the current is reduced, which significantly improves efficiency and allows for thinner, more manageable power distribution. HVDC (High-Voltage Direct Current): Looking further ahead, projects like the Open Compute Project (OCP) are advancing ±400V (800V bipolar) HVDC solutions. This eliminates multiple AC-to-DC conversion steps, which are traditionally "leaky” points where energy is lost as heat. 2. Titanium-Grade Efficiency and Silicon Carbide (SiC) The physical Power Supply Units (PSUs) themselves are undergoing a material revolution. Modern data centers now mandate 80 PLUS Titanium certification, meaning the PSU must be at least 96% efficient. The "secret sauce” behind these gains is the transition from traditional silicon-based components to Wide Bandgap (WBG) semiconductors, specifically Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN). These materials allow power supplies to: Operate at much higher temperatures.Switch at faster speeds with lower energy loss.Occupy a smaller physical footprint, freeing up valuable "white space” in the rack for more compute power. 3. Modular and "Islanded” Power Generation Because the existing utility grids in many regions are reaching their capacity, data center operators are no longer waiting for the grid to catch up. The latest development is the "Bring Your Own Power” (BYOP) strategy. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Microgrids: Hyperscalers are increasingly investing in on-site nuclear energy and natural gas microgrids to ensure a dedicated, "always-on” power supply that is independent of the public grid.Modular UPS Systems: Instead of one massive, monolithic Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for the whole building, data centers are moving to modular UPS units. These can be "hot-swapped” or scaled up instantly as more server racks are added, ensuring the facility doesn't pay for power capacity it isn't yet using. 4. The Integration of Power and Liquid Cooling In 2026, power and cooling are no longer separate departments. High-density AI power supplies generate so much heat that air cooling is physically incapable of removing it. The newest power systems are designed for Direct-to-Chip (DTC) or Immersion Cooling. In these setups, the power supply components may be partially or fully submerged in a dielectric fluid or connected to a liquid-cooled cold plate. This integration allows the PSU to run at "full throttle” without thermal throttling, maintaining the stable voltage required for sensitive AI training runs. Comparison: Traditional vs. Next-Gen Data Center Power FeatureTraditional Data CenterAI-Ready Data Center (2026)Rack Power Density5 – 15 kW50 – 300+ kWVoltage Architecture12V DC54V / 800V HVDCPSU EfficiencyGold/Platinum (90–94%)Titanium (96%+)Cooling MethodForced Air / CRACDirect Liquid / ImmersionGrid DependencyPure Utility GridHybrid / On-site Microgrids The "Tokens per Watt” Economy The metric for success has shifted. It is no longer just about PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness); it is about performance per watt. As power becomes the primary bottleneck for AI growth, the winners in the industry will be those who can squeeze the most computational "tokens” out of every watt of electricity. The power supplies being developed today are the unsung heroes of this revolution—the silent engines that turn raw electricity into the intelligence of tomorrow.

  • Patrick Seaton and Dona Baker talk about Selling to Committees on Innovative Management Tools with Peter Mingils
    Feb 27 2026
    Loading… 0:00 0:00 Patrick Seaton on Innovative Management Tools Building Fortunes Radio Show talks about Selling to a Committee with guest host Dona Baker and Peter Mingils.

    Patrick Seaton has been in business and business consulting for decades and he has developed his tools into a digital platform. On this episode Patrick brings on Dona Baker, who owns the company Rhealize. Both provide examples and strategies on how to sell to committees.

    If you are in sales or running a company you will want to listen in.

    A Guide to Selling to Committees

    In the world of B2B sales, the era of the "lone decision-maker” is fading. Today, most significant corporate purchases are handled by a buying committee. Whether you are selling software, consulting services, or industrial equipment, you aren't just winning over one person—you are navigating a complex web of competing interests, varied expertise, and collective risk aversion.

    Selling to a group requires a shift from "persuading an individual” to "facilitating a consensus.” Here is how to master the committee sale using proven, high-impact strategies.e Champion: Your internal advocate who wants the project to succeed.

    Committees exist primarily to spread risk. If a purchase goes wrong, no single person takes the fall. Conversely, this makes committees incredibly slow and prone to "no-decision” outcomes.

    To overcome this, provide social proof that is specific to their industry. Case studies, third-party certifications, and pilot programs are essential tools. You aren't just selling a solution; you are selling the certainty that the solution will work.

    Conversation Frameworks are cool tools Patrick Seaton has developed and Impact is the one Patrick talks about today. Patrick makes a special offer that you can take advantage of. This tool is called ‘Reorganize”. Reach out to him by contacting him on LinkedIn

    He offers his Diagnosis Flash Report for those who reach out to him on Linked In.
