Missing Link Founder Richard Mulholland and Managing Director Sam Leontsinis joined host Daniel Litwin to outline the business of presentation skills and how the self-described “Presentation Powerhouse” is helping people around the globe remain agile in the face of remote demands and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Missing Link offers “CloudCrew,” a remote, dedicated “backstage” crew for online events, a presentation studio aimed at crafting strategic and memorable presentations, an academy designed to teach key presentation skills, and a three-month, “Story-to-Stage” program ready to elevate interested speakers to a professional level.

Mulholland, a former rock and roll roadie for the likes of Iron Maiden and Def Leppard, has leveraged that background in growing Missing Link into one of the world’s most influential presentation companies.

Specifically, a lack of work in putting on concerts in South African winters led to a discovery of a new passion.

“I went to my boss and I said, ‘Hey, what happens if we start doing some stuff with the conference market in the offseason?’,” he said. “I would sell to these CEOs. I would be like, ‘I can turn you into Iron Maiden. At your conference, you’re going to be like a rock star.’”

However, Mulholland quickly learned that, no matter how good the lighting and other ancillary trimmings, a bad presentation is a bad presentation. Thus, Missing Link was born to fill a need.

The company has been elevating people’s presentation skills for more than 20 years, and that’s equipped them for a time, now, where vocal leadership in business is more sought-after than ever before, there are more “stages” than there have ever been, and COVID-19 has forced organizations around the world to reckon with establishing a powerful remote and digital presence.

Plug-in cars hit 28% of global sales as Canada reaches 13%

Plug-in cars hit 28% of global sales as Canada reaches 13%

Plug-in vehicles took 28% of global new car sales in August 2026. Canada reached 13% while the U.S. share kept falling. Part of the gap may be supply: according to Reuters, Volkswagen chose South America as the first overseas market for its China-developed architecture and has ruled out North America for now.

  • 01Lower-cost European and Chinese EVs are harder to come by in North America. According to Reuters, Volkswagen chose South America as the first overseas market for its China-developed architecture and has ruled out Europe and North America for now.
  • 02Canada's plug-in share dropped from about 15% to about 9% in a single quarter when rebates ended in late 2024, a measure of how closely near-term demand tracked incentive timing.
  • 03Canada's 13% in August 2026, set against a falling U.S. share, is one signal to watch: if it holds, fleets in both countries may need separate planning assumptions.

Octopus Energy US gets 50% to 60% of smart-device owners into demand response

Octopus Energy US gets 50% to 60% of smart-device owners into demand response

Octopus Energy US says 50% to 60% of its customers with a smart device take part in demand response. The historical utility benchmark is 5% to 10%. Uplight says the devices it manages can be called on dozens of times a year. The pitch to households is a lower bill.

  • 01The participation figure counts only customers who already own a smart device, so how much flexibility a utility gets across its territory depends on how many households have one.
  • 02The question to watch: does participation hold when calls go from fifteen a year to dozens? That decides whether household fleets can compete with batteries in a utility's resource plan.

Data-center developers face a new approval map after the midterms, starting in Texas

Data-center developers face a new approval map after the midterms, starting in Texas

Texas governor-elect Gina Hinojosa campaigned on banning data-center approvals until the legislature passes new laws, adding to local moratoriums, zoning denials and an August grid-connection halt. The Data Center Coalition said its members would continue their Texas build-out while working with state and local governments. Under an ERCOT process being finalized, projects must certify local approvals to qualify for accelerated interconnection.
