	<itunes:summary>Robert Grand . Host of the Eugene Advice Givers Podcast, as a business owner himself, had an interest in meeting other smart business owners and fascinating entrepreneurs. When he started to reach out to these people, and started talking to them, he realized others needed to hear their stories too. These were experts in their respective fields, smart and intelligent, not to mention, many had discovered unique ways to impact the lives of their customers, clients and patients. So he asked, “Why not share these stories? Why not interview these people? Create a Podcast? Why not create a site where they could be posted and listened to?” With that, the concept for Eugene Advice Givers was born. For more, visit: www.EugeneAdviceGivers.com</itunes:summary>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left"><span style="font-weight: 400">This podcast episode has answers to three questions that we all want to know: </span></p>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;text-align: left"><span style="font-weight: 400">How do I not contribute to climate change?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;text-align: left"><span style="font-weight: 400">How is green energy produced?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;text-align: left"><span style="font-weight: 400">How do I lower my energy bills?</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">David Tam is the entrepreneur in Eugene who wakes up every morning with an agenda to work on tech innovations that would answer the above three questions. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">David is the senior vice president of Green Energy Corp, a company that provides software solutions for clean energy generation, and the former commissioner of the City of Eugene sustainability commission. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Since the beginning of his career, David focused on researching green energy technologies that were not in the US or in China. “My father immigrated to the US in 1970, worked as a dishwasher at a restaurant, slept on the floor in a small room with four other guys. That was the situation when he came to America with almost nothing on his back,” David tells his back story how his parents, who started their journey with nothing encouraged him to start his own journey to become an entrepreneur. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">David is also the co-founder of R2B Microgrid Solutions, a firm that provides microgrid services with clean energy and energy conservation in mind while implementing sustainable development.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“A microgrid is a portfolio renewable assets to generate onsite power for a commercial, industrial application,” David explains. In simpler terms, microgrids are small grids powered by renewable energy resources&#8211;such as the wind, turbine, and solar&#8211;that connect homes, businesses and other buildings to central power sources. Since microgrids use renewable energy resources to generate and store energy, they are a cheap and climate friendly solution to generate and store power. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">David, along with his team at Green Energy Corp and R2B Microgrid Solutions, is developing software solutions to develop efficient microgrids that are resilient to outages and are economically efficient. “We deploy Green Energy Corp software to create microgrids to make sure that 85 per cent power comes from renewable sources,” David explains. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Microgrids are a fairly new technology. According to Navigant Research’s 2014 report, worldwide vendor revenue from microgrids that was $4.3 billion in 2013 will grow to $19.9 billion in 2020. “People thought it is a little crazy,” tells David, who now as Green Energy Corp’s Asia president is tapping the potential of emerging microgrid market in Asia.        </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“Asian market would be the largest for microgrids. It will surpass the United States,” says David, who also thinks that Eugene is the green gateway to Asia because the cost of power is really cheap in the region. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">With the use of microgrid technologies, David and his team are creating solar buildings and green communities not only in Oregon and the US but also in Asia to truly expand the sector that uses green energy over fossil fuels. “We are working on a variety of projects from retrofits and commercial buildings to community-based microgrids for Native American Reservation Tribes,” David adds.   </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">David credits his entrepreneurial drive to his parents who built their lives in the US from nothing. “I think that my father was very driven to support his family, and he had father had a really amazing woman that is my mother. My mother was the backbone. My dad is the front man, but my mother has always been a smart decision maker. I really believe that both my parents have really influenced me in a lot of different ways. My father taught me about ceasing opportunities and taking risks and my mom taught me to be very diplomatic, very personable and being able to focus on relationships.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">David believes that forming relationships and networking are two things that make everything work. As the chair of the non-profit Asian Celebration, he wants to create a platform for all the community-based groups, especially children, to come together to share and celebrate Asian culture, share food, and educate people. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“If I can contribute to passion in helping inspire children, inspire business people, inspire people to go green, inspire people to take care of one another, those are the things that drive me… Whatever I can do to create change for the better that really what starts and drives me… I want to be a guy who is remembered as a person who tried to do his best he could,” David tells when asked about what drives him as an entrepreneur.      </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">David’s also shares his two important morning rituals that get him going: working out and being appreciative of everything he has. “When I have stressful and rough days, I think about going for small wins that make my day look better. And spending time with family is extremely important,” David adds.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Here is how you can reach David, who loves to help people and gaming in his free time: </span><a href="http://[email protected]"><span style="font-weight: 400">[email protected]</span></a></p>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Healthy Moves! Bringing Physical Education back to Lane County&#8217;s Public School System</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400"><a href="http://eugene.localadvicegivers.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/92/2017/07/about-denise.jpg"><img src="http://eugene.localadvicegivers.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/92/2017/07/about-denise.jpg" alt="" width="205" height="253" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-135" /></a>Denise Morrow is a general fitness and community wellness heroine here in Eugene, Oregon. The native of Oregon is on a mission to improve the health of kids and families not only statewide, but ultimately countrywide. With a love for physical movement, Denise started her career with a sports focus. She was involved in Volleyball, Basketball and Track, and then subsequently transferred her focus to the dance arena. She graduated as a Dance Major from the University of Oregon, and like many young persons do post-graduation…she moved to the big City – New York City. In New York, her career exploded as she soon became successful in dance in theatre off Broadway, and also sang back up and toured with Atlantic label artists. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Transitioning back to fitness, her former love, Denise got injured. In her quest for healing she discovered the Alexander Technique, which ultimately became the baseline for her future success within the fitness industry, and her current business endeavors.  Denise used her collective physical movement skillset to propel herself to success by working with high powered fitness studios such as Crunch Fitness. Inspired by her fitness efforts, Denise started Let’s Move in New York in 1988. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Tired of the expenses of Big City living, and just generally craving a simpler, cleaner, healthier lifestyle, <a href="http://www.letsmovewithd.com/"><img src="http://eugene.localadvicegivers.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/92/2017/07/header-logo.gif" alt="" width="189" height="181" class="size-full wp-image-136 alignright" /></a>Denise returned to Eugene, Oregon and continued her business operations there. Let’s Move’s goals are simple: To teach persons of all ages how to live a balanced life that integrates both the mind and the body. It is important for us all to be active, in our quest for maximizing our longevity. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The services that Let’s Move offers include: Cardiovascular Work, Trampoline, Strength Training, Yoga, Private Sessions and Small Group Sessions. For convenience, Let’s Move also focuses on home services, as well as operates from a small studio. Denise has established a Senior wellness program and focuses on providing Ergonomics enhancement services in organizations. Let’s Move is stable, thriving and beneficial to its broad spectrum of clients. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Denise focuses primarily on the Alexander Technique in her therapeutic practice. The Alexander Technique focuses on the optimal alignment of the head, neck and the spine. These three areas of the body are integral to the operations of our body’s core. Many of us, via various activities, lose our body’s awareness of alignment and degenerate into poor posture habits. For example, computers and phones can influence us negatively, and cause us to be hunched over our desks or phones.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The Alexander Technique, in three one-hour sessions can restore your body’s accurate alignment and reverse those adverse posture effects. Denise describes the training process as inclusive of “Massage” Therapy for general body assessment, walking and sitting. The massage is more akin to gentle physiotherapy with a focus on relaxation, and to realign the mind and body. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Adaptation of the Alexander Technique is dependent on the individual. Some students adjust quickly, while others take a little longer.  Regardless of the timeframe for adaptation, the outcome is changed sensory awareness and improved body alignment.  By the end of the third lesson students are in awe of the changes in their body and its alignment. Client expectations are always exceeded.  Let’s Move has received great reviews over the years, and is enjoyed by all in Denise’s client spectrum. The business is stable and thriving. </span></p>
<p><strong>HEALTHY MOVES</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://eugene.localadvicegivers.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/92/2017/07/Healthy-Moves.jpg" alt="" width="308" height="159" class=" wp-image-138 alignright" srcset="http://eugene.localadvicegivers.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/92/2017/07/Healthy-Moves.jpg 362w, http://eugene.localadvicegivers.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/92/2017/07/Healthy-Moves-300x155.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 308px) 100vw, 308px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Healthy Moves is the Non-Profit arm of Denise Morrow’s business operations. Started in Eugene, Oregon, the Healthy Moves Movement has been slowly expanding for the past six years since its inception. Den</span><span style="font-weight: 400">ise created Healthy Moves in the aftermath of Michelle Obama’s initiative- the  NationalChildhood Obesity Campaign. Inspired by the intention of the campaign, Denise researched the program through the regional school districts and discovered that many Lane County schools have no full time Physical Educatio</span><span style="font-weight: 400">n (PE) teachers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The lack of PE teachers in Lane County school districts was influenced by political mandates made in the early ‘90’s, which have left our elementary system devoid of physical education programs. Recognizing this gap, Healthy Moves was created to counter the deficiency. Denise discovered non-standardization of the PE training offered across the school districts that she assessed. Conducting research in the Springfield School District, Bethel School District and 4J district, it was discovered that a 9 week PE program currently exists in elementary schools. Once that rotation ends&#8230;a regular elementary school teacher takes over the PE sessions. With no formal education in PE, the students are typically at the mercy of the elementary school teachers and their level of knowledge about physical education. The ultimate result is a variety in the offerings of PE education offered to Lane County students for approximately one third of the semester. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Healthy Moves is designed to fill this outstanding gap in Elementary School PE education, by providing schools with part-time trained physical education specialists to close the curriculum gap. Current efforts by the Oregon Department of Education scheduled for 2017 to maximize the PE time allocation in the Elementary School Curriculum, has been postponed for five years. The new mandate’s objective is to increase PE allocation time in elementary schools from 60-150 minutes. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">In the meantime, while the states waits, Healthy Moves believes that they are the change that Oregon needs. It is Denise’s effort to allow the state to help itself. With the growth that Healthy Moves has made in the past six years, Denise is striving to create a translatable, expandable model with her non-profit organization.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The current Healthy Moves expansion efforts have been rolled out to: Bethel School District, Springfield School District, and two schools in the 4J District. She is currently talking with additional schools to expand her Healthy Moves model throughout Oregon, as well as to migrate the program out of state.  Research has shown that the physical education gap is a national problem. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Engaging her team of 10-20 persons in her trainer pool, Denise can accomplish her organization’s objectives. The pool fluctuates, with the trainers who rotate their services. All trainers are certified. As Healthy Moves expands, she is seeking to conquer new territories. The current potential area of expansion is Cottage Grove, where a new collaboration is currently being established. </span></p>
<p><strong>FUTURE PLANS</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">With two thriving businesses, Denise is currently seeking the option to expand Healthy Moves into a Family Program. Healthy Moves has been growing over the years via word of mouth promotion and via entities such as Impact Club. Healthy Moves already receives grant funding from organizations such as Nike, Pacific Source and local businesses to support its operations. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">To engage families, community events have been created to get the whole family moving and active. &#8220;Grassroots to the Blues&#8221; is the fundraising event that Healthy Moves uses to improve family and community engagement. The event is fun and free flowing, and features events such music and dance lessons. The overall theme is a music and arts fusion. With one event per month, you don’t want to miss out. Get out and have fun!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Finally, on October 20</span><span style="font-weight: 400">th</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> the main event is  the Fall Fashion and Fitness Fundraising Event at the LCC Event Center. Be prepared to be entertained by musical acts such as The Groove Two as well as other entertainment. Lots of food will be in store to satisfy your varied tastes. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Align yourself with a positive movement!! </span></p>

These three areas of the body are integral to the operations of our body’s core. Many of us, via various activities, lose our body’s awareness of alignment and degenerate into poor posture habits. For example, computers and phones can influence us negatively, and cause us to be hunched over our desks or phones.  <br />
The Alexander Technique, in three one-hour sessions can restore your body’s accurate alignment and reverse those adverse posture effects. Denise describes the training process as inclusive of “Massage” Therapy for general body assessment, walking and sitting. The massage is more akin to gentle physiotherapy with a focus on relaxation, and to realign the mind and body. <br />
Adaptation of the Alexander Technique is dependent on the individual. Some students adjust quickly, while others take a little longer.  Regardless of the timeframe for adaptation, the outcome is changed sensory awareness and improved body alignment.  By the end of the third lesson students are in awe of the changes in their body and its alignment. Client expectations are always exceeded.  Let’s Move has received great reviews over the years, and is enjoyed by all in Denise’s client spectrum. The business is stable and thriving. <br />

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">I’m happy to welcome Rodger Deevers from Deevers &amp; Sons Inc. to the show! Today, we’re talking about having a financial plan for your future. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Rodger and I initially started working together when I hired him to assist me with planning for my financial future. I&#8217;ve known Rodger for a few years. We originally met at </span><a href="https://crossfitevviva.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400">Crossfit Evivva</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> in Eugene. Rodger and I really got to know each other when we ran a group running relay called the </span><a href="https://www.runragnar.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400">Ragnar Relay</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">. It was a couple hundred miles and we were all stuffed into a couple of vans for 2 days. A fun filled adventure for sure!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Beyond his ability to run 25-30 miles in a 30-hour time frame, I found out Rodger knows a lot about the financial industry. He has been in the financial planning business since 1994 &#8212; 23 years! As a local Eugene area family owned and operated business Rodger isn&#8217;t your typical &#8220;Financial Guy.&#8221; He has character and depth to him. Rodger only cares about doing what&#8217;s right for your future. He is passionate about having a plan to ensure that future can happen. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Beyond being a financial planner Rodger has a very interesting passion and you notice it as soon as you walk into his office.  His office is super comfortable especially for the average guy like myself as I don&#8217;t feel like I need to put my dress clothes on to have a meeting with him. The first thing you will notice when you sit down in Rodger’s office is his art. He is an amazing artist!  As I looked around, I asked him if he had painted all these cool, yet professional looking cartoon-like paintings I was seeing?  He said, “Yes.” I asked how he learned to paint. Rodger said he just picked it up over the years.  Just picked it up over the years?!? I remember thinking, I&#8217;ve picked up a lot of things over the years, but this was an amazing skill and talent that he seemed to have mastered.  I know to master a skill and be great at it, it typically takes about  10,000 hours of time and practice.  I instantly realize that I want Rodger to be my financial guy.  He not only has grit, but also perseverance.  Like his art, he has a passion for helping people map out a financial plan for their future.  He is willing to dedicate his time and put in the necessary hours to master a skill that he is passionate about.  That to me always translates over to business.  Knowing someone has what it takes to master a skill, I knew he would do the same for me in successfully planning my financial future.    </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">This episode runs right at 44 minutes.  We jump around a lot of different topics.  I think when you listen to this episode you will realize Rodger perhaps has more depth to him than the average financial planner.  He is passionate about anything he does.  </span></p>
