  Ep. #22 The Truth About EV Cars and The Risk They Pose with Bruno Lucarelli

  Aug 11, 20261h 18m

  Bruno Lucarelli of EV Safety Inc. joins Asa Dyer to discuss the real-world safety challenges surrounding lithium-ion batteries. The conversation looks at EV charging stations, battery energy storage systems, thermal runaway, off-gassing, emergency action plans, fire-service coordination, insurance exposure, and the risks businesses face when lithium-ion devices are present on their property. Bruno explains why safety planning cannot begin after an incident. Employees, site managers, property owners, and first responders need to understand where the risks are, how to create distance, when to evacuate, and why local fire officials should be part of the plan. They also discuss EVs and hybrids in service and collision centers, damaged batteries, charging equipment in parking structures, consumer electronics in public spaces, drone batteries, saltwater corrosion, and the role of practical, affordable mitigation measures.

  Ep. #21 NEC 2026 Arc Flash Labeling, NFPA 70E, and Electrical Safety with Greg Hollingsworth

  Jul 28, 202659 min

  Greg Hollingsworth joins LiveWire to discuss the electrical-safety changes contractors, building owners, and facilities need to understand. The conversation examines the 2026 NEC’s arc flash labeling requirements, the role of NFPA 70E in workplace safety, OSHA’s General Duty Clause, local code enforcement, and how missing labels can affect permits, renovations, and occupancy. Greg also shares why the proposed two-person qualified-worker requirement is about more than emergency response. A focused standby worker can help identify unsafe decisions before an incident occurs. They also talk through fatigue, productivity pressure, PPE, assessments, training, insurance, and why electrical safety has to be treated as a practical business decision—not just a compliance task.

  Ep. #20 Data Centers, Grid Capacity & The Future Of Energy with Michael Bowers

  Jul 14, 20261h 3m

  Welcome back to LiveWire, the podcast from OEL Worldwide Industries, a family business built on safety, trust, craftsmanship, and the people behind the work. Some conversations are about what is happening today. Others are about what is coming faster than most people realize. In this episode of the LiveWire Podcast, Michael Bowers joins Asa for a wide-ranging conversation about utilities, data centers, grid capacity, energy policy, nuclear power, water constraints, space-based infrastructure, geology, leadership, and the future of American energy. Michael is the CEO of Gaucher and Associates, where he works in utility project management for commercial construction and development. He shares what it takes to help companies expand into new markets, navigate local utility requirements, understand development charges, manage permitting issues, and solve infrastructure problems before they become costly delays. The conversation also moves into the bigger energy questions facing the country. Michael explains why data centers are creating explosive pressure on the grid, why electrical capacity is becoming one of the biggest constraints in development, and why nuclear energy, geothermal innovation, smarter legislation, and high-yield energy systems may be necessary to meet future demand. Asa and Michael also talk about water usage, desalination, drought, satellite connectivity, fiber, space-based data centers, asteroid mining, precious minerals, oil and gas, fracking, and the way global resource competition is reshaping the economy. Michael brings a practical but future-facing perspective shaped by geology, utilities, construction, energy policy, and a lifelong curiosity about how systems work. This episode is about more than utilities or infrastructure. It is about the decisions being made now that will shape the next era of development, technology, energy independence, and national competitiveness. If you work in construction, energy, utilities, commercial development, technology, policy, infrastructure, or leadership, this conversation will make you think about what it will really take to power the future and why the grid cannot be an afterthought.

  Ep. #19 Creativity, Fatherhood & The Work Of Seeing People with John S. Miller

  Jun 30, 202657 min

  Welcome back to LiveWire, the podcast from OEL Worldwide Industries, a family business built on safety, trust, craftsmanship, and the people behind the work. Some conversations are about the job. Others are about the life that shapes the person doing the job. In this episode of the LiveWire Podcast, John S. Miller joins Asa for a deeply personal conversation about creativity, mentorship, photography, family, faith, fatherhood, suffering, and what it means to truly see people. John and Asa look back on more than 15 years of friendship, creative work, encouragement, and growth. They talk about the early days of photography, the confidence it takes to keep creating, the role of mentors, the pressure of client work, and why trust matters so much when people are trying to make something meaningful together. The conversation also moves beyond craft into the deeper parts of life. John shares how love, suffering, parenting, loss, and responsibility have shaped the way he sees people and shows up for his family. Asa reflects on marriage, fatherhood, ambition, faith, and the realization that success means very little if the people closest to you are not okay. This episode is about more than photography or business. It is about the people who help us become who we are, the creative pursuits that teach us how to solve problems, and the love and responsibility that slowly reorder what matters most. If you work in a creative field, run a business, lead a family, mentor others, or are trying to balance ambition with purpose, this conversation will make you think about what you are building, who you are becoming, and how you show up for the people around you.

  Ep. #18 Trades, Safety Culture & Close Calls with Matt Poland fom OEL Worldwide Industries

  Jun 16, 202656 min

  Welcome back to LiveWire, the electrical safety podcast from OEL Worldwide Industries, a family business that builds arc flash safety gear, tools, and trust across the trades. A lot of safety lessons do not come from a manual. They come from moments that get too close. In this episode of the LiveWire Podcast, Matt Poland joins Asa to talk about growing up around the trades, working as an iron worker apprentice, moving into the water utility world, and eventually bringing that field experience into his role with OEL. Matt shares stories from job sites, water districts, treatment plants, and electrical work that shaped the way he thinks about risk, PPE, safety culture, and what it takes to get people home safely. From working at heights and dealing with heat stress to close calls around energized equipment, this conversation is honest about the pressure, pride, and shortcuts that can show up in the field. He also breaks down why trades can become a rite of passage, why younger workers may be changing the PPE conversation, why public awareness and enforcement are shifting jobsite behavior, and why safety leaders carry an enormous burden across fall protection, confined space, chemicals, electrical safety, glove compliance, and more. This episode is about more than equipment. It is about respect for the people who build, repair, maintain, and protect the infrastructure everyone else depends on. If you work in electrical safety, utilities, water treatment, construction, industrial work, PPE, safety management, or the trades, this conversation will make you think about close calls, culture, and the real-world reasons safety has to be taken seriously.
