About The Inspectations Podcast

This is The Inspectations Podcast, hosted by Justin Starbird, CEO of The Aebli Group. In business, one of the most difficult tasks a leader must do is find a way to “Inspect what they expect.” Too often great businesses fail, or managers lose their way because they were operating based on expectations that they had not yet inspected. Most often, there is a communication breakdown between what the desired outcome is and the path to follow to get there. The Inspectations Podcast brings together business leaders from all industries to talk about best practices, innovation, leadership, and business development. The concept was born from an internal conversation with the TAG Team resulting in the realization that process & systems could be improved. You are listening to The Inspectations Podcast.

It isn't goodbye, it is see you later

After 47 episodes of inspiring conversations, business insights, and meaningful relationships, we’re closing the book on The Inspectations Podcast,and opening a bold new one with The TAGline Podcast. [https://www.youtube.com/@taglinepodcast] Originally created to help people “inspect what they expect,” Inspectations became a proving ground for new ideas, tools, and strategies that shaped The Aebli Group’s evolution. It gave us the space to talk with friends, clients, and industry leaders while cementing our business model and voice. But as we grew, so did our audience and direction. It became clear that our original branding no longer fit. We needed a platform that reflected where we are and who we serve today. That’s why we’re excited to introduce The TAGline Podcast, powered by The Aebli Group [https://www.aebligroup.com]. Built for B2B leaders, this next chapter is focused on sharing real-world success stories, actionable marketing insights, and lessons learned—the hard way and the smart way. We believe human-to-human marketing is still at the core of business growth, and transparency, expectation-setting, and brand clarity are what separate good from great. Thank you for being part of the journey. We’re just getting started. 🎧 Learn more at aebligroup.com [https://www.aebligroup.com]🔗 Connect with us on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-aebli-group/]📬 Subscribe to the TAGLine Newsletter [https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7189636929942880256] for weekly insights

RISE-ing Above with Fluid-Free Actuation — Unlocking the Future of Sustainable Heavy Machinery with Hiten Sonpal

In this episode of the Inspectations podcast, host Justin Starbird sits down with Hiten Sonpal, President of RISE Robotics, to dive deep into the revolutionary potential of fluid-free actuation technology. Together, they explore how RISE’s breakthrough actuator system is reshaping the landscape of heavy machinery—making it cleaner, more efficient, and ultimately more sustainable. Hiten breaks down how traditional hydraulics, long relied upon in construction, logistics, and defense industries, are becoming a bottleneck in the global push toward electrification. Enter RISE: with a 75% efficient system that captures energy during movement and transforms it into reusable power, they’re not just replacing hydraulics—they’re redefining what's possible! The conversation highlights how RISE actuators—featuring built-in diagnostics, natural shock load handling, and compliance-friendly components—are a game-changer for OEMs and end users alike. From ports on the U.S. coasts to mining operations in Australia, the demand for zero-emission solutions is growing, and RISE is primed to deliver. Hiten also gives listeners a glimpse into the company’s momentum, from a top-performing Wefunder campaign to the upcoming launch of a new developer kit and the highly anticipated liftgate pilot. Most exciting of all? RISE’s mission to reduce costs, boost productivity, and leave the world a cleaner, wealthier place through smarter engineering. Whether you’re an industry insider, investor, or sustainability enthusiast, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of heavy machinery and the electrification revolution.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
