The Florida Business Forum is taking an in depth look at a brand-new product called Nebula by Impact that is designed for the HVAC industry by HVAC experts to save building owners money and give Facility Managers a true force multiplier in managing their buildings for comfort and safety.

It's a perfect product for Florida's sultry summers and all around hot and humid conditions that prompted the invention of ice making equipment in the early 1840's in the Sunshine State that ultimately led to the invention of air conditioning.

A lot has changed since the 1840's but monitoring HVAC equipment to keep units running efficiently while saving energy costs has not changed. That's what makes this new product so valuable for building owners, Facility Managers, and HVAC service companies.

The Florida Business Forum Podcast host and business guru Sam Yates sat down recently with the President of Nebula, Clayton Callander, to learn more about this modern product that allows remote monitoring of hundreds of HVAC units to signal their need for maintenance or even replacement by only one Facility Manager saving hundreds of thousands of dollars. 

To contact Clayton Callander you may email him at Ccallander@impactservicegroup.com or visit the Impact Service Group website.

The Florida Business Forum is taking an in depth look at a brand-new product called Nebula by Impact that is designed for the HVAC industry by HVAC experts to save building owners money and give Facility Managers a true force multiplier in managing their buildings for comfort and safety.

It's a perfect product for Florida's sultry summers and all around hot and humid conditions that prompted the invention of ice making equipment in the early 1840's in the Sunshine State that ultimately led to the invention of air conditioning.

A lot has changed since the 1840's but monitoring HVAC equipment to keep units running efficiently while saving energy costs has not changed. That's what makes this new product so valuable for building owners, Facility Managers, and HVAC service companies.

The Florida Business Forum Podcast host and business guru Sam Yates sat down recently with the President of Nebula, Clayton Callander, to learn more about this modern product that allows remote monitoring of hundreds of HVAC units to signal their need for maintenance or even replacement by only one Facility Manager saving hundreds of thousands of dollars. 

To contact Clayton Callander you may email him at Ccallander@impactservicegroup.com or visit the Impact Service Group website.

The future of business in the Sunshine State is front and center as the nation and State move towards the 2024 Presidential election. The Florida Business Forum reached out to Republican and Democratic Party officials for an insightful and candid interview about their respective business plans impact on Florida businesses. Only the Florida Harris Campaign Leadership responded.

Florida Business Forum Host Sam Yates' interview with Tallahassee, Seat 3, City Commissioner Jeremy Matlow took us inside Matlow's own business experience and insight into the impact a Harris Business Plan would have not only on Tallahassee but Florida businesses overall.

Florida's Number One Business Forum Podcast discussed infrastructure, health care, construction, the home building industry and more. Our interview also had revelations about the political future for Matlow himself -- an aspiring Democrat who some political observers say could be one of the party's leaders in the next few years.

What is the state of America's housing industry and, more importantly, the future of home building across the nation as a shortage of workers continues to grow? That is but one of the major topics covered in a focused and far-ranging interview with the President and CEO of the National Housing Endowment, Mark Pursell.

Pursell joined Gold Coast Builders Assocation Executive Sam Yates and the Executive Officer of the Treasure Coast Builders Association, Deb Frazier, to stress the importance of bringing students into the home building industry. A variety of training programs and grants are helping to expand introductions to the home building market but, still, thousands of workers are needed.

The second anniversary of America's withdrawal from Afghanistan is being noted by one Afghan family with silent smiles of hope for a brighter future in America. More specifically, freedom and hope somewhere in Florida.

The Florida Business Forum anchor Sam Yates caught up with the patriarch of the family and the pro-bono immigration attorney who has donated more than six months of her time and talents to bring a family of six to the safety of the Sunshine State.

The family's location is not pinpointed nor is their identity to protect them from the Taliban violence that threatened to pull the family's female members into an unimaginable servitude while the head of the family was beaten so severely, he was bedridden and unable to move from bed for more than a month. Beaten and threatened with death simply for standing up for human rights and the safety of his family after the United States withdrew from Afghanistan.

The Florida Business Forum has identified the immigration attorney who serves all of Florida as Attorney Karen Mentor. All other details have been kept secret to protect the family that still lives in fear of Taliban reprisals.

One of the names synonymous with the overall County Planning Process for the Saint Lucie County Region of Florida is Leslie Olson, AICP.  The former Saint Lucie County Planner has recently embarked on a new private business venture, District Planning Group, shedding the County mantle for "an other side of the  project" approach to making the business of growth and prosperity for private and public sectors a win-win for all parties involved.

Using a comparison of Planning as the General Contractor (GC) of business and the various parts are the contractors, artisans, and critical members of the public to be served, Ms. Olson shares with the Florida Business Forum's anchor and business guru Sam Yates the decision process that went into moving from government to private and some of the key factors that may serve as mentoring waypoints for others. 

As we learn in this first episode of what will be at least two episodes of the Florida Business Forum Podcast, the Treasure Coast of Florida is lucky to have its future in the hands of well qualified experts like District Planning Group. 

Here's Episode One of our multi-part series featuring one of the up and coming new business ventures in Florida.

Ninety-eight people lost their lives in the Surfside Condo Collapse tragedy. Now, as we approach the first year anniversary of the horrible sequence of events that claimed so many lives, a cause may have been identified.

The Florida Business Forum has an exclusive podcast interview with Dr. Randall Parkinson, a PhD Geologist who says rising seas and an accompanying rise in groundwater beneath the aging oceanfront condo may have played a significant role in the collapse and deaths.

Even though the families of the victims have been awarded nearly a billion dollars, those same families still search for the elusive question: WHY?

The Sylvan Learning Center is synonymous with learning and higher teaching standards. Those same standards are also synonymous with the Sylvan Centers in Jupiter and Lake Worth, Florida operated by Sheri Gray. 

The Florida Business Form host Sam Yates sat down with Ms. Gray on the campus of her Jupiter, Florida center recently to learn why the New York educator chose Sylvan, Jupiter and Lake Worth as her preferences. In the process, the Florida Business Forum discovered there's still a lot of pent-up demand from parents wanting to see their children get a quality education in a classroom setting.
