Clinton Haby has spent 16 years building a legacy filmmaking business that charges $8K-$24K per project. Starting with a desire to capture his grandfather's stories, he's developed a systematic approach to intimate storytelling that can't be replicated by technology. In this emotional episode recorded shortly after his grandfather's passing, Clinton shares his three-tier pricing model and announces Legacy Film School to teach others the art of premium storytelling. Key Takeaways Clinton's three packages range from $8K (captured as-told) to $24K (full cinematic treatment with B-roll and music) He insists on being alone with storytellers during interviews to create the most authentic connection His entry-level package generates roughly $250/hour, proving that specialized storytelling can command premium rates Legacy filmmaking is recession-proof and AI-resistant because it's built on authentic human connection About Clinton Haby Clinton Haby is a legacy filmmaking pioneer and the founder of StoryKeeping. What began as an urge to keep his grandparents' stories has taken him on a journey of non-stop learning. Listening to clients' wants and striving to deliver beyond their expectations has pushed StoryKeeping to standards far beyond what Clinton initially envisioned. Having served on the board and executive committee of the Association of Personal Historians, Clinton has had a front row seat to the legacy film industry from its infancy to today. Tested by the market and time, Clinton wants to help others capture the legacies of our personal heroes by launching Legacy Film School. In This Episode [00:00:00] Welcome to the show!

The two dive deep into Mark's journey as a full-time YouTuber, his brand-new Area RC warehouse project, and how he's helping newcomers find their way into RC racing through innovative events and creative content. Mark talks about leaving the IT world to pursue YouTube full-time, the vision behind Area RC — a 5,000 sq ft “RC Fantasy Factory” where fun, accessibility, and creativity come first — and how his MSM Southern Showdown and True Street Drag Series are redefining entry-level RC racing. They also dig into broader industry topics like burnout, event economics, and the ongoing debate between bashing vs. racing. The conversation highlights how RTR cars, brands like Traxxas, Losi, and Techno, and media creators all play key roles in growing the hobby. If you love RC, whether it's nitro, electric, racing, crawling, or bashing in the backyard, this is a must-listen conversation about the passion, grind, and innovation driving the RC world forward.

There are so many nuances and rabbit holes that you can explore when at a show like CEDIA Expo—from the high-end audio world, to video walls, lighting and shading, to media servers and more. One of the hottest topics in recent years has been the methodical rollout of 8K displays and 8K content. While in Denver for the show, we sat down with representatives from the 8K Association and IMAX to talk about the advancements in the space, accessibility of content, mind-blowing demos, and more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbcUZupavh4

Más píxeles de los que ves: Pantallas 8K y 4K prometen imágenes más nítidas, pero un estudio demuestra que tus ojos no las distinguen. Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo Investigadores de Cambridge y Meta descubrieron que el ojo humano tiene un límite real para detectar detalles en pantallas. Más allá de cierto punto, los televisores Ultra HD no se ven mejor, aunque cuesten miles de dólares. Sigue el pódcast Flash Diario para descubrir más curiosidades de ciencia y tecnología. Científicos de la Universidad de Cambridge y del laboratorio de realidad de Meta analizaron cuántos píxeles puede distinguir el ojo humano en distintas condiciones. Su conclusión es clara: en un salón promedio, una pantalla 4K o 8K no ofrece una diferencia visible frente a una 2K. El estudio, publicado en Nature Communications, demuestra que los límites de nuestra visión convierten muchos televisores de alta gama en un gasto innecesario. A partir de ahora, la ciencia tiene una medida precisa para responder una pregunta que millones de personas se han hecho frente a una vitrina: ¿realmente se ve mejor un televisor más caro? Más píxeles no siempre significan mejor imagen, solo más gasto. Durante años, las marcas de televisión han competido por ofrecer resoluciones más altas: primero Full HD, luego 4K, después 8K. Cada salto prometía una experiencia visual “más real”. Pero un equipo de Cambridge y Meta quiso poner esa promesa a prueba. Construyeron un experimento con un monitor 4K de 27 pulgadas montado en un riel móvil. Dieciocho personas con visión normal observaron líneas finas en distintos colores y distancias. Cuando las líneas eran demasiado pequeñas, los voluntarios ya no podían distinguirlas: veían solo una mancha gris. Con esa información, los científicos calcularon la capacidad real del ojo humano para detectar píxeles individuales. El resultado fue sorprendente. La mayoría de las personas puede distinguir hasta 94 píxeles por grado en escala de grises, y unos 89 cuando se trata de colores rojo y verde. En cambio, los tonos amarillo y violeta caen hasta 53 píxeles por grado, porque nuestro cerebro procesa peor los detalles de color que los de luz y sombra. Esa limitación biológica significa que, si tienes una televisión de 44 pulgadas y la ves a unos 2,5 metros de distancia —como en la mayoría de salas—, ya estás recibiendo más detalle del que tu vista puede procesar. En otras palabras: comprar una tele 8K no hace que veas mejor, solo hace que pagues más. Los científicos publicaron una tabla y una calculadora en línea que permiten saber si un televisor realmente ofrece mejoras visibles según el tamaño y la distancia de visualización.Aquí tienes el enlace a la calculadora en línea de la University of Cambridge:Display resolution calculatorPor ejemplo, una pantalla de 40 pulgadas vista a 3 metros se aprovecha totalmente en resolución Full HD. Para notar la diferencia con 4K, habría que acercarse mucho o tener un televisor gigante. Incluso para que una pantalla 8K valga la pena, necesitarías una de 100 pulgadas y verla desde menos de 2 metros. Además, cada píxel adicional consume más energía, requiere más potencia de procesamiento y eleva el precio sin ofrecer beneficios visuales. El estudio también tiene implicaciones fuera del salón de casa. En la realidad virtual, los videojuegos y los móviles, muchas empresas invierten en pantallas con densidades imposibles de distinguir. Cambridge y Meta advierten que ese esfuerzo podría redirigirse a mejoras más perceptibles, como el contraste, el color o la velocidad de respuesta. El hallazgo pone en duda prácticas comunes como la “submuestra de color”, usada para ahorrar ancho de banda al reducir la resolución de los tonos. El estudio demuestra que el ojo distingue más matices rojo-verde de lo que se creía, lo que podría transformar la forma de comprimir video en el futuro. En resumen, no es que las pantallas 8K sean malas, es que nuestros ojos ya llegaron a su límite. La ciencia confirma que el ojo humano tiene un límite de detalle. Si ves tu tele desde el sofá, 4K ya es más de lo que puedes distinguir. Antes de gastar en 8K, consulta la calculadora de Cambridge y revisa si realmente lo necesitas.Científicos de Cambridge descubren que el ojo humano no nota diferencia entre 2K, 4K y 8K en tu sala de casa.
The Belief That's Keeping You at $8K MonthsYou've got the experience. You've got the expertise. You've even hit consistent $8K months.So why does it still feel like you're hustling just to hold it all together?This episode is not about another funnel tweak or productivity hack.It's about the belief that's keeping smart, capable service providers stuck at a revenue ceiling they should've broken by now.And spoiler: it's not your strategy. It's something deeper.

Stop Fixing What Isn't Broken: Sell the Damn ThingYou don't need another Canva post. You don't need a new offer.You need to stop throwing spaghetti at the wall and actually sell the thing you already built.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on why so many smart, skilled business owners are stuck at $8K months and what's actually keeping them there.(Hint: It's not your pricing. And it's definitely not your lack of talent.)If you're exhausted from creating and re-creating, launching and ghosting, tweaking and second-guessing this one's for you.
Did you know 10 million people watched the first episode of Planet Earth III – the same number who visit the Peak District annually? We're hungry for nature, even if we can't always access it directly.Imagine escaping the concrete jungle without leaving your desk. What if your smartphone could transport you to a misty bluebell woodland or the thundering heart of an Icelandic volcano? Welcome to the future of nature connection – where technology becomes your gateway to mental restoration. We speak with environmental psychologist Dr Alex Smalley about his research on virtual nature and Tim Daniels co-founder of Portal, both are names to watch in this beautiful revolution in how we experience the natural world."We've always tried to bring nature indoors," explains Dr. Alex Smalley. From ancient cave paintings, ancient Roman wall paintings right through to modern digital experiences, humans have always craved a connection to the natural world.But this isn't about replacing real nature. It's about expanding our understanding of how we can experience it.For the stressed-out healthcare worker pulling a double shift, the burned-out student cramming for exams, or the city dweller trapped in a windowless office, digital nature offers a lifeline. Scientific research shows these experiences aren't just pretty pictures – they're powerful mental health tools.Alex's research is proving that digital nature can actually change how our brains process pain and stress. In clinical studies, people experiencing virtual natural environments reported reduced pain perception and lower stress levels. It's like a mini-vacation for your brain, available at the touch of a button.Tim, Portal's co-founder, sees something even bigger. "We're not just creating an app," he says. "We're addressing major global crises – from mental health to climate change – by reconnecting people with nature."For younger generations, digital natives who've grown up with screens, these experiences are revolutionary. Instead of mindless scrolling, imagine using your phone to transport yourself to a dawn chorus, to feel the gentle awakening of a forest, to experience moments of pure wonder."These digital experiences can stimulate small bumps of awe," Smalley explains. "They force you to reevaluate your mental frameworks, put your problems in perspective, and feel connected to something bigger."It's not about replacing real-world experiences. It's about creating bridges, about offering nature as an accessible resource for everyone.Imagine the possibilities:- Hospitals using nature sounds to support patient recovery- Schools using digital landscapes to calm and focus students- Workplaces offering nature breaks to reduce stress- Individuals finding moments of peace in their most challenging timesPortal captures nature with breathtaking precision – 8K visuals, spatial audio that makes you feel like you're truly there. A thunderstorm isn't just a sound; it's an experience that can unlock feelings of wonder, reduce stress, and reconnect you with the natural world."It's never too late to build a connection to nature," Alex emphasizes. And now, that connection is quite literally in your pocket.For Tim, it's deeply personal. The platform was inspired by his brother's transformative experience camping in New Zealand – discovering how nature could heal burnout, restore mental health, and provide a sense of wonder.What if technology could be a force for healing? What if our devices could remind us that we're part of something larger than our daily stress?It does seem that our world is becoming more urban, more digital, more disconnected, but technology doesn't have to isolate us – it can reconnect us.A dead hotel TV screen becomes a window to volcanic landscapes. A smartphone transforms into a portal to misty forests. Stress dissolves with the sound of a dawn chorus.Something that I really liked when I asked Alex how he would paint the world with a magic brush of Biophilia (the question I ask everyone who comes onto the podcast) he said: "I'd paint the world wild and unkempt, with oak saplings emerging from tangles of brambles.” For me, this seemed a perfect metaphor for how digital and natural worlds can coexist and enrich each other.Your next mental health solution might just be a click away. Are you ready to reconnect?https://portal.app/https://experts.exeter.ac.uk/20047-dr-alex-smalleyvirtual-nature.comhttps://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Healing-Power-of-Nature-Podcast/B0CLVVLF7THave you got a copy of the Journal?

Brett and Naveen break down how GenX escapees can use AI to work faster, earn more, and de-risk the leap from corporate. You'll learn where AI actually helps (and where it doesn't), how to turn your experience into simple, repeatable, AI-enabled services, and why singles (small wins) beat swinging for enterprise home runs when you're solo. Think: micro-SaaS, productized services, and month-to-month offers that business owners can say “yes” to quickly.Key TakeawaysGenX Advantage: We've lived analog → digital → internet → mobile. We know how to train people—now we train AI. We also know when outputs are “off.”AI as Fractional Workforce: Treat AI like your on-demand researcher, analyst, designer, scheduler, and SDR. One subscription, many “roles.”Start with Singles: Stop chasing six-figure whales out of the gate. Package $1–5K/month services that solve one need deeply, repeat it across clients.Outcome > Hours: Price the result (clean CRM, personalized outreach engine, faster proposals), not your time. AI compresses hours into minutes—that's the point.Productize the Process: Turn your workflow into a mini system: inputs → AI-assisted steps → valuable output. Reuse 80%, customize 20%.Risk Wins Deals: Month-to-month + clear ROI beats open-ended fractional promises for most SMBs.Practical Use Cases We Cover • Lead gen & personalized outreach at scale • CRM cleanup & contact enrichment • Proposal/slide creation (e.g., Gamma) • Research & meeting prep “briefings” • Contract review & red-flag summaries • Agents & light automations (only after nailing the manual workflow)Simple Monetization Paths (Examples)$2–5K/mo: “Done-for-you” outbound engine (200 targeted emails, replies routed, CRM updated).$1–3K flat: CRM cleanup + enrichment + basic dashboard.$1–2K/mo: Founder research briefs + talk tracks before key meetings.$3–8K setup + $1–3K/mo: Build a lightweight, repeatable micro-SaaS/workflow (pricing, content kits, hiring screens) for a niche.Timestamps • 00:00 Intro & why AI is a GenX superpower • 03:30 From big-corp AI to solo/SMB impact • 06:10 Training people vs. training AI (and knowing “good”) • 11:20 AI as your fractional team: practical tools & roles • 16:45 Thought partner use case (Brett's real examples) • 23:30 Singles over home runs: structure simple wins • 29:45 Value pricing when AI compresses your time • 34:20 Risk, ROI, and easy “yes” offers for SMBs • 38:45 Partnering to productize (stack skills → stack revenue) • 42:50 Action plan & where to find NaveenMemorable Lines • “AI is the great equalizer—your fractional workforce in one subscription.” • “Don't sell AI—sell a solved problem that AI helps deliver.” • “GenX knows what ‘good' looks like. That's the edge 20-somethings can't fake.”Resources Mentioned • Explained Consulting: explained.consulting • Gamma for slide/proposal generation

Morgan Stanley Research looks at how changes in demographics, ownership, and distribution can boost tech adoption to revolutionize the global sports industry. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Cesar Medina: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Cesar Medina, Morgan Stanley's Latin America Technology, Media, and Telecom Analyst. Today – we discuss what's driving the digital revolution in global sports. And what it means for fans as well as investors. It's Monday, August 11th, at 10am in New York.These days, watching a sporting event at home usually means streaming the big game on a large 4K HDR screen. Maybe even 8K for premium events. You might access real time stats from a supporting app or social media on a secondary device. Maybe even have a group chat with friends. But imagine a game with real-time personalized stats. Immersive alternate camera angles. Or even experiencing the match from a player's perspective—all powered by AI. These innovations are already being tested and rolled out in select leagues. Global sports generates half a trillion dollars in annual revenues. Despite all that cash, until very recently the industry was slow to embrace digital technology, lagging behind movies and music. Now that's changing – and fast.So, what's driving this transformation? Three powerful forces are closing this digital gap. One – younger, tech-savvy audiences demanding more immersive and personalized experiences. Two – new distribution models, with digital platforms stepping into the arena. And three – institutional investment, bringing capital and a push for modernization. You might ask – what does this all mean for fans, investors, and the future of entertainment? Let's start with fans. Today's sports fans aren't just watching—they're interacting, betting, gaming, and sharing. And younger fans are leading the charge. They are spending more time online and expect hyper-personalized content. They're more interested in individual athletes than teams, and they engage through social media, fantasy sports, and interactive platforms. Surveys show that fans under 35 are significantly more likely to spend money on sports if the experience is digital-first. Some leagues have seen viewership jump by 40 percent after introducing interactive features. Others are using AI to personalize content, boosting engagement and revenue. Digital transformation isn't just about watching games though—it's about reimagining the entire ecosystem. When it comes to live events, smart venues are using AI to adjust ticket prices based on weather, opposing team, and demand. Some are even using facial recognition for faster entry and purchases. Streaming platforms are making broadcasts more interactive, while combating piracy with predictive tech. As for engagement, fantasy sports, esports, and betting are booming. AI-driven platforms are helping fans make smarter picks—and spend more. Altogether, these innovations could boost global sports revenues by over 25 percent, adding more than $130 billion in value. While North America leads in monetization, Emerging Markets are catching up fast. In India, Brazil, and the Middle East, for example, sports franchises are seeing double-digit growth in value—sometimes outpacing traditional media. And here's the kicker: many of these regions have younger populations and faster-growing digital adoption. That's a recipe for serious growth. Meanwhile, niche sports and women's leagues are also gaining global traction, expanding the definition of mainstream entertainment. Of course, this transformation of the sports industry faces real hurdles—technical expertise, budget constraints, and cultural resistance among coaches and athletes. But the incentives are clear. And as more capital flows into sports—from private equity to sovereign wealth funds—digital transformation is becoming a strategic priority. So, what's the biggest takeaway? Global sports is no longer just about what happens on the field. It's about how fans experience it—on their phones, in their homes, and in the stadiums of the future. So whether you're an investor, a fan, or just someone who loves a good underdog story, this is a game worth watching. Thanks for listening.
