Richard Harrison shared thisGreat turnout this week at The Business Edge luncheon hosted by the Northern Nevada Development Authority. Appreciated the opportunity to hear Congressman Mark Amodei reflect on his 15 years in Congress and what that experience has meant for Nevada—especially the often underrepresented rural communities that make up such a large part of our state. A few takeaways that stuck with me: ▪︎Execution matters more than noise. Regardless of administration or political climate, the focus was on getting results for constituents. ▪︎Oversight is a big part of leadership. Holding agencies accountable isn’t flashy, but it’s where real impact happens—especially for local businesses and infrastructure. ▪︎Access and responsiveness matter. The stories shared about solving real issues (permits, funding, tribal support) were a good reminder of how much effective representation can directly impact operations on the ground. ▪︎Know your market. Nevada isn’t just Las Vegas—understanding the full landscape (rural, industrial, energy, infrastructure) is critical to making smart decisions. Events like this are a good reminder: strong execution isn’t just a business principle—it applies to public service too.

Leaders who have built teams and turned around performance Operators who understand both numbers and people Individuals who bring business acumen, not just tenure Those who aren’t afraid to step into a challenge and own it 📍 Why Jackson? For the right leader, this is a chance to step into a role where your impact is visible, your leadership matters, and your results are recognized. This is about ownership, influence, and opportunity.

Richard Harrison shared thisOne trend that’s becoming clear across battery and advanced manufacturing: Execution is the bottleneck. Not design. Not equipment. Execution. Coordinating international shipments, staging equipment, and installing complex lines under tight timelines is where projects get off track. The companies that are getting it right are thinking about execution earlier—before equipment ever hits the port. That’s where we’re spending most of our time—helping customers plan, stage, and install with fewer handoffs and more accountability. #MEIIndustrialSolutions #MoveEngineerInnovateRichard Harrison shared thisNarrow views. Total focus. Behind every successful lift, move, and set is a team dialed in, communicating, checking, and executing with purpose. Jobs like this are where experience meets discipline. This is how MEI moves industries forward. #MEI #BuiltOnCommitment #MoveEngineerInnovate

Richard Harrison shared thisSharing this for anyone at DealMAX this week. Chris leads M&A for us at MEI Industrial Solutions, and we’re actively looking at opportunities to expand—both through acquisitions and strategic partnerships. If you’re an owner thinking about growth or exit, or a partner looking to align with a national execution platform, this is a good conversation to have. Reach out to him while you’re there.Richard Harrison shared thisExcited to be at ACG DealMAX over the next few days—looking forward to building new relationships and reconnecting with trusted friends and partners. Always glad to connect and share insights on what we’re seeing in today’s industrial solutions M&A landscape. #ACGDealMAX #MergersAndAcquisitions #CorporateDevelopment #IndustrialSolutions #PrivateEquity #DealMaking #GrowthStrategy #Networking

Richard Harrison shared thisGreat week in Phoenix with the MEI Industrial Solutions sales leadership team. The message was clear: MEI’s growth is not happening by accident. It’s being driven by our people, our national footprint, our commitment to safety, and our ability to bring certainty to complex projects. As we continue growing across data centers, manufacturing, EV/battery, industrial, and other key markets, the opportunity in front of us is huge. But the real differentiator is execution — showing up early, understanding the customer’s risk, and delivering as one MEI team. Proud to be part of this group and excited for what’s ahead in 2026. #MEI #BuiltOnCommitment #MoveEngineerInnovateRichard Harrison shared thisAMAZING WEEK in Phoenix participating and helping lead our 2026 MEI INDUSTRIAL SOLUTIONS SALES LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE! SO PROUD AND IMPRESSED with our >90 Sales/Business Development Leaders from across our 29 NATIONAL LOCATIONS in North America - discussing our valued Clients that trust us as their Partners (thank you!), the valuable End Markets we help drive forward across the USA, and the ability to meet as a unified MEI TEAM and enjoy the camaraderie and celebrate our Annual Sales Awards. Thank you all for your dedicated hard work! MEI Industrial Solutions

Richard Harrison shared thisThis is exactly right—progress happens when the work gets done. We see it every day: projects don’t fail because of bad ideas, they struggle because of execution gaps—coordination, logistics, timing, and installation. Our focus at MEI Industrial Solutions is simple: reduce execution risk and help customers deliver when it counts. If you’re planning upcoming installs or equipment moves, happy to connect and compare notes. #MEIIndustrialSolutions #MoveEngineerInnovateRichard Harrison shared thisInnovation may start with an idea, but progress starts when the work gets done. That means equipment installed, systems positioned, and projects delivered with coordination and control, especially when timelines are tight and the stakes are high.

Richard Harrison liked thisRichard Harrison liked thisEver seen what ~2.3 MW of cooling looks like? This CDU is doing exactly that, pulling massive heat loads out of high density racks where traditional air cooling starts to break down. What’s interesting isn’t just the size, it’s what it signals. We’re watching a real shift: • Rack densities are climbing fast (AI and GPU environments) • Cooling is becoming a primary design constraint, not an afterthought • Liquid is moving from edge cases to mainstream deployment That changes the conversation entirely, from cabling and power to how the full system is designed and supported. At Cable Plus, we’re spending more time helping customers think through that transition, not just the products, but how all the pieces work together. The scale is real, and it’s only getting bigger.

Richard Harrison liked thisRichard Harrison liked thisToday, Zap Energy is announcing a bold step forward: bringing advanced fission and fusion together into a single, integrated platform. By harnessing the deep overlap between these disciplines across materials, engineering, and system design, we aim to accelerate how both fission and fusion are developed, deployed, and delivered to market. As part of this next phase, we are welcoming Zabrina Johal as Chief Executive Officer, marking a defining moment in our evolution into a unified nuclear platform company. Cofounder Benj Conway will transition to President, focusing on strategy, partnerships, and long-term development. This announcement formalizes a strategy we have been building: pairing near-term fission deployment with the long-term potential of fusion and advancing both through a shared foundation.

Richard Harrison liked thisRichard Harrison liked this“The world is entering an era of unprecedented demand for reliable, carbon-free electricity. Artificial intelligence infrastructure, electrified transport, advanced manufacturing, and national energy security are driving the need and many of these applications cannot rely solely on intermittent resources or constrained electric grids. Meeting that demand requires an expansion of nuclear energy at a scale not seen in generations. That is why today Zap is announcing that we’re building not just a #fusion company, but an integrated #nuclear platform that spans both advanced fission and fusion technologies. Today, a false wall exists between #fission and fusion. Rather than treating fission and fusion as separate industries, we see them as two points along the same technological continuum; sharing many of the same materials, engineering challenges, supply chains, and industrial capabilities. Developing them together accelerates both.” — Benj Conway, Uri Shumlak, Brian Nelson Read more about the motivation behind Zap’s new integrated nuclear strategy in a message from our cofounders: https://lnkd.in/gcpQ4tmx

🚛 Freight recession deepens for U.S. harbor truckers. New 2025 tariffs have “poured accelerant gas on the problem,” says Harbor Trucking Association CEO Robert Loya, as fleets shrink and equipment sits idle from LA to Oakland. Loya warns the downturn could worsen into 2026 unless volumes rebound — and urges shippers to strengthen relationships with their trucking partners. 👉 Read the full AJOT interview: https://lnkd.in/ezThKUKi #FreightRecession #TruckingIndustry #Logistics #Ports #SupplyChain #Transportation

California update on propane forklifts: ✔️ There is no prohibition on manufacturers, dealers, or rental agencies from producing, selling, or renting LSI (large spark ignited) propane forklifts. ✔️ All privately owned and operated forklifts are exempt through at least 2029. ✔️ Businesses should consider upgrading fleets before the 2030 model year to stay ahead of future regulations. What you can do: 👉 Share with your state and local elected officials, especially those on AQMDs and the CARB Board, how critical propane-powered forklifts are to your operations. #Propane #Forklifts #CaliforniaRegulations #MaterialHandling #TedJohnsonPropane #RenewableSolutions
