In this solo episode, Bill explores the critical concept of believing in your own economic value as a sales professional. Drawing from his document “The 15 Profit Amplifiers” created for clients, Bill discusses how understanding the economic impact of your solution transforms your ability to communicate value to prospects. Bill examines two primary ways your solution can deliver economic value: by alleviating pain points that cost customers money or by helping them achieve aspirational goals like increased revenue and profitability. The most powerful position is when your solution accomplishes both simultaneously. Whether your customers need to save money, make more money, or improve efficiencies, this episode provides valuable insights on how to identify, internalize, and articulate your true economic value proposition.  If you'd like to talk to Bill about your team, go to http://scheduleacallwithcaskey.com The Insider program is open for enrollment.

Guests and HostGuest: Marco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society Podcast & Audio Signals Podcast | On ITSPmagazine: https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/marco-ciappelliHost: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | On ITSPmagazine: https://www.itspmagazine.com/sean-martinShow NotesThe first episode of Music Evolves with host Sean Martin sets the tone for an exciting exploration of the intersection of music and technology. Kicking things off with a discussion of the NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) Show, this episode covers how musicians, producers, and innovators are shaping the future of sound.Music Meets TechnologyFrom the resurgence of classic analog instruments to the latest AI-assisted music creation tools, technology continues to redefine how music is made, performed, and shared. Sean shares his firsthand experience at NAMM, where major brands and independent creators showcased groundbreaking advancements, including digital amplifiers that recreate vintage sounds, AI-driven music production tools, and innovations designed to break creative barriers.One standout topic is how technology is making music creation more accessible. Companies are introducing tools that allow artists to experiment with sounds in ways that were once impossible without expensive studio setups. Instruments with built-in effects, digital modeling amps that maintain rich analog tones at lower volumes, and silent drum heads that allow musicians to practice in small apartments—all of these are making professional-quality music creation more attainable.The Role of AI in MusicA key discussion point in this episode is the growing influence of artificial intelligence. AI-generated music isn't just an experiment—it's already shaping songwriting, production, and even performance. Some musicians use AI to refine lyrics, generate melodies, or experiment with new sonic textures. But with this innovation comes debate. Can AI-generated music carry the same emotional depth as human-created work? And how does this impact authenticity in songwriting and performance?NAMM also brought attention to ethical concerns surrounding AI, with Roland and Universal Music Group unveiling an initiative to address fair use, artist rights, and responsible AI implementation in music. As AI continues to evolve, these discussions will be critical in determining its role in the industry.Preserving the Classics While Pushing BoundariesDespite all the technological advancements, there remains a strong nostalgia for classic sounds. This balance between innovation and tradition was evident at NAMM, where artists and engineers worked to preserve vintage tones while enhancing their usability for modern musicians. Companies are now blending analog warmth with digital precision, allowing musicians to replicate legendary sounds without the constraints of older hardware.Sean also touches on the impact of these advancements on performance. Portable gear with built-in looping and effects is allowing musicians to push creative limits, while innovations in live sound engineering are making it possible to replicate studio-quality mixes on stage.More to Come on Music EvolvesThis episode sets the stage for a series that will dive deep into how technology is changing the way music is created, performed, and consumed. Future episodes will explore everything from sound engineering and music education to AI composition and new performance technologies.For those passionate about music and its ever-expanding possibilities, Music Evolves offers a fresh perspective on how creativity and technology intersect. Be sure to listen to the full episode to hear firsthand insights from NAMM and stay tuned for upcoming discussions with musicians, engineers, and industry leaders shaping the future of sound.SponsorsAre you interested in sponsoring this show or running ad placement in the podcast?Sponsorship

https://youtube.com/live/4_iffBMGZ5s You wouldn't believe Mico Klokoc Thompson's story—it's like something out of a rock and roll legend. This guy's been hooked on electronics since he was just a little kid, probably around six. His grandfather used to tinker with tube TVs, radios, and ham radio setups, so there was always some cool gadget to mess with at his grandparents' house. Oh, and his grandfather also played a little guitar, which kind of planted the seed for Mico's lifelong love of music and tone. By the time he was 12, Mico was already reaching out to big names in the industry. He wrote to Ken Fischer from Trainwreck Circuits and even the artist relations team at Kramer Guitars. And get this—Ken Fischer actually responded and told him to stay in touch. Talk about a promising start! Fast forward a few years, and by 17, he was on the road with Aerosmith, working behind the scenes while Guns N' Roses was the opening act. Can you imagine being a teenager and getting that kind of backstage pass to rock history? From there, he jumped into the Hollywood music scene, fixing tube amps and working with local guitarists at Amp Crazy. It didn't take long for Mico to start rubbing shoulders with the biggest names in the game. He worked with Eddie Van Halen, Ratt, Poison—you name it. And when he moved to Nashville, he didn't slow down. Instead, he started working with country legends like Marty Stuart, Travis Tritt, and Merle Haggard. But Mico's not just some behind-the-scenes tech guy. He's been a key player at Trainwreck Amplifiers for years, partnered with One Control Effects and Amplifiers, and he even designs his own amps now. He's all about restoring vintage gear and helping musicians perfect their tone. I mean, he's worked with everyone from Ted Nugent to Pat Travers, and even up-and-comers like Benito Di Bartolie and Dante Bonasera. Mico's the guy you call when you're serious about tone. Whether it's building a custom amp, restoring a classic, or just dialing in that perfect sound, he's the one who makes it happen. He's a legend in his own right.

We look at integrated amplifiers and whether it's best to opt for a simple or smart model. We ask why they are so popular, what are the features you should be considering for your own Hi-Fi system? Plus, do you actually need one and what are the alternatives? We also have special guest Ashton Wagner from Rega, who designs some of the very best Hi-Fi amplifiers you can buy.

Despite the summer doldrums, it was another big week in the hacking world, and Elliot sat down with Dan for a rundown. Come along for the ride as Dan betrays his total ignorance of soccer/football, much to Elliot's amusement. But it's all about keeping the human factor in sports, so we suppose it was worth it. Less controversially, we ogled over a display of PCB repair heroics, analyzed a reverse engineering effort that got really lucky, and took a look at an adorable one-transistor ham transceiver. We also talked about ants doing surgery, picking locks with nitric acid, a damn cute dam, and how to build one of the world's largest machines from scratch in under a century. Plus, we answered the burning question: can a CRT be used as an audio amplifier? Yes, kind of, but please don't let the audiophiles know or we'll never hear the end of it.

This episode is an ode to the electric energy that fuels our passion for music and the connections that keep the industry pulsing.Wrapping up, we tune into the nuances of musicians' gear habits, debating why one might hoard guitars but skimp on amps. From the nitty-gritty of touring logistics to the sonic shifts in concert formats, we explore the rhythms that shape a musician's life on and off the stage. Whether it's the raw power of a live guitar riff or the collaborative groove of my band, KMT, we celebrate the magic of musical connections and the timeless pull of the six-string.

The gear fetishism that has stunted the mainstream growth of high-end audio for almost four decades is about to run out of runway and that might be the most positive development in years. How we consume music has completely shifted and whilst there will always be room on the credenza for a turntable, or even a CD player, the reality is that real estate at home is a hot commodity, and most consumers want fewer boxes for their music listening journey.Just what is a network amplifier and why should you consider one as your last Hi-Fi system?

 Good morning, Miracle Commuters. Today, I want to talk a little bit about head games. Head games are what we do to fuel negative emotions in our heads. As a result, we get more of what we don't want, distort things, exaggerate things, or amplify things that we don't necessarily need in our lives. We could focus on being more positive or mindful with how we analyze or even think about situations in our heads. A lot of time as we are. Catastrophizing things in our head that have even happened. So I think it's essential to. Sit down and think about some of the thoughts that we may have, whether they're positive or negative and use them to identify and weed out some of the awful thoughts that we might have. So you can move away from it. The bad ideas and focus on more of the good things or the ideas and thoughts that can bring you joy. And your situation. This is a little bit of a long list. So, bear with me here, but amplifiers are first things first. A lot of times, we have. Emotions that magnify unpleasant situations. And that looks at extreme words, like always or never, or no one or every time. Virtually. Nothing in life falls to an extreme, and nothing is almost always that black and white. So when we start to think about. Amplifiers mean to start a stop and say, I bet you, no matter what it was, or some type of other scenario that could happen, that could be positive. And. Delay or fix the situation at hand. So be careful with amplifiers and especially extreme words. Like always, never, no one, and every time. Another bad head game is feelers or the attempt to accept a negative feeling as accurate or without questioning it. Sometimes, our negative emotions reveal a sort of deficiency in ourselves or someone else. And sometimes, they don't. So often, you may feel a simple distortion. Sometimes, an objective reflects the quality of your thinking more than the quality of your actual life experience. Dark feelings are important, but they are no substitute for the truth. So just remember, when you have a thought, it's not always the truth, and it's good to make sure that you stop yourself and say, Hey, is this reality, or am I exaggerating this? Or am I? I am getting a feeling out of this, and that's not the case. Guessers guesser thought, pretending what other people are thinking and then assume that they are thinking the worst. This is the one that I sometimes have to correct myself on, and quite often, This is like a trigger or an emotional response that we get from thinking about what other people are thinking, covering ourselves. This sometimes puts us on the defensive, which can kick off a cycle that is not very helpful or joyful and maybe even puts you mentally. It's a state of hate for someone who doesn't even deserve it. The definitely avoid guessers are trying to guess what someone else is thinking of you at any given time. And I think this leads to the next one, which is exaggerators. You're exaggerating your thoughts, transforming molehills in the mountains and triggering words like horrible or worse, ruin, shock, devastating, stunned, and outraged. These are all exaggerators that we put in our minds. And sometimes we do not need to use them. When we're thinking about scenarios or situations that have happened in the past or, unfortunately, things that haven't even happened yet. And I think it's essential to think of them as awful or like drama queen syndrome. Don't exaggerate something that hasn't happened or a situation that maybe wasn't as bad as it would be. The next one's identifiers inject harmless events with personal meetings. They have overestimated how the event is related to them. They take things too personally and interpret adverse events as personal attacks. So, for example, you get cut off in traffic and spill your coffee in your lap. Perfect for this, right? I might respond with the other driver who is out in front of me momentarily. I actively think that the other driver had carefully plotted to be in just a spot to do this on the interstate. But the truth is, they didn't. A lot of times, we all make mistakes when we're driving and commuting. And I think that you, if you give people grace, knowing that easily could have been you. You can realize that no one is really out to get you. And that we all have been irritated in situations like this. And we just have to number is a small moment sent something to derail you. For the rest of the day, change how you think or create more negative habits in your mind. Forecasting. It's another one. So, particularly predicting a worst-case scenario—sometimes even allowed before it even happens—and participating in an activity, solving a problem, or engaging in an important conversation. Forecasting is not necessarily a good thing to do. I think it's good to plan. It's good to have foresight into whatever you're going into or whatever you're going to say, but you don't want to doom forecast and come up with things that are not necessarily true or haven't happened yet. Cynical thinking, right? Cynics, have you had the knack for finding something wrong, even if there's only one thing wrong or nothing wrong at all? Despite all the good that they have, your mental radar always sees the bad. And I think this is one thing that I've struggled with over the years because, I know, in journalism school, they teach you to be cynical in some ways, which is not necessarily a good thing. Like always looking for the bad and the good and never trusting anything for face value, I think that one thing about being cynical is that it is a purpose in life. That's why we have this ability to be cynical and critical. But at the same time, I don't think it's good to live in that mindset because it never really comes to any good. Sometimes, you just have to find the positive and the negative, even if it is negative, too. So always. And mostly, avoid being cynical unless you have to, as a career, unfortunately. Blaming pointing fingers at someone else for their own problems, even if it's a rare problem caused entirely by someone else. Blaming. It is the opposite of responsibility, meaning that it was your responsibility. Still, you're apt to blame someone else and say it's so popular because it temporarily liberates you and gives you a short-term emotional fix. So if he feels better for the time being, it's you feel like it's good to blame someone else when you should take full responsibility. However, blaming others ultimately mobilizes you, holds you back, and cuts your legs right out from underneath your full potential for joy. So the blame is. Is like a dirty bomb. You don't want to blame unless you have to write unless it's just, but ultimately, even justified blaming is not appropriate in work in life. In my opinion. Finally, justifiers are mining for some reason why they are entitled or to have this negative emotion or harmful pursuit, losing sight of their vision, or justifiers are advocates for their own negativity. It manifests in language. If you only knew what they did, and I deserve to be upset. It's not exactly what Joy is made of, but now. Where are these all of these different emotions coming from? Hopefully, they're not coming from an area of justification. So, just to recap real quick, there are plenty of mind games that we play with ourselves, and sometimes our emotions and thoughts turn into these sort of head games that put us on the right or wrong path to success. And it could be anything from amplifiers to feelers, guessers, exaggerators, identifiers, forecasters, and cynics. Blamers and justifiers, try to remember which one you are or are not. If any of these resonate with you, then maybe it's time to rethink and reframe some of your situations and try to get some of that negativity out of your mindset, especially when it comes to work and play. Try to use it as an opportunity to remove the negativity. You can bring more joy into your life if you have more joy than the tough times in the low times. Sometimes aren't so bad. I hope this was helpful. I think it's helpful to re-read this stuff or revisit it every now and then because even when you are on top of your game, you can easily be at the bottom. We just had a few wrong turns. But hopefully. On your way in your commute, it's easy, safe, and successful. I hope you have a great day. And remember when you, win your commute. You can 100%.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for episode 503 of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Richard has seen a film about the history of Amplifiers recently and he is dumbstruck that he is the only one of the trio that has even heard of it whilst Brian criticizes his accent. Richard also discusses a large legal issue facing Tik Tok and the use of certain music in their fun data mining social app. This turns into a discussion about AI video creation and a very poor Wonka based experience in Scotland. Wampler are releasing a new pedal and Brian elucidates in a kind of random fashion. He may have leaked this pedal on another podcast recently but with some gentle prodding he goes into great detail. This episode is being released twelve hours before the official release so it's kinda an exclusive for our awesome listeners. Sorta. Kinda. Richard bought an inexpensive new pedal and is super happy.  Do you use a lightweight rig for gigging or do you take your full pedalboard? The guys chat about this common dilemma and Brian makes some suggestions before giving us his best Jon Bon Jovi impression. This show then deteriorates into further silliness as Brian points out this podcast is an organic thing that just needs to be ridden.    Ampire, Parliament Funkadelic, Weiner caps, Negative Ned, Billy and the Butcherman...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!Thanks to all our supporters - you are awesome!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Awesome Merch and DIY mods:https://modyourownpedal.com/collections/booksFind us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWwContact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.comSupport the show

Summary This episode of The Sound of Design, Mark and Dan cover various confusing technology terms and their differences. The conversation starts with the difference between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, focusing on wireless audio transmission and compression. They then discuss the difference between soundbars and surround sound, including the various formats such as 2.1, 5.1, 7.1, and Dolby Atmos. They also explain the distinctions between amplifiers, receivers, and integrated amplifiers. The conversation further explores the differences between processors and preamps in control systems. Finally, the hosts discuss the differences between invisible, in-wall, and in-ceiling speakers.   Takeaways Understanding the differences between technology terms can help clarify misconceptions and make informed decisions. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi have different applications and levels of compression, with Wi-Fi offering less compression and longer range. Soundbars and surround sound systems provide different audio experiences, with soundbars being more convenient and surround sound offering a more immersive experience. Amplifiers, receivers, and integrated amplifiers serve different purposes in audio systems. IR, IP, and RS-232 are control protocols with different capabilities and applications. Invisible, in-wall, and in-ceiling speakers offer different aesthetic options for audio installations.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for episode 497 of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Brian's recorded a new theme tune for the show and the guys are excited to share it with everyone before looking at some artificial unintelligence developments. Richard is not impressed with the underlying robotic signature or something. Whatever. He also tries to add some structure to the show with a special feature and it falls a little flat. Maybe.What do you do with an LED with three legs? Richard needs some DIY advice and attempts to guess the weight of one of his co-hosts before coming up with a new product that frustrates Brian to the point of complete exasperation. This turns into a conversation about expensive cables and Brian has an idea. Gibson have launched some new amplifiers and at first glance the guys love the authenticity of them, but upon deeper delving, they discover some marketing quirks. It quickly degenerates into a mass of confusion which we can only assume is caused by Gibson absentmindedly forgetting to send the guys an amp to test. Brian and Richard had a sneak preview of the new Andy Wood album and tell us all about it.   Foolish proclamations, Giant stereos, Eight Blakes, Distortion cables, Horsekicking contest, Seasoned salt...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Brian's new online courses are here:http://www.guitarpedalcourse.comAwesome Merch and DIY mods:https://modyourownpedal.com/collections/booksFind us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWwContact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.comSupport the show

Look at your current team members you're closely working with and ask yourself: “Are your team members amplifiers or detractors? Are they bringing out the absolute best in you? Do you feel excited, and do you look forward to meeting with them? Or do you end up in a place where you feel completely drained when you meet with them?” Amplifiers are individuals who enhance the team, the company, and the overall business with their positive impact. They bring out the best in others and contribute significantly to the company's progress. Detractors, on the other hand, are not necessarily bad people or employees with bad intentions. They may perform well in their roles but do not contribute positively to the team culture, dynamic, or business growth. They unintentionally hinder progress and can negatively affect the team's morale and productivity. Listen to the full episode if you want to learn more about how amplifiers can elevate your team's potential, as well as understand the subtleties of dealing with detractors.   In this episode, you'll discover: - Identifying Amplifiers and Detractors in Your Team - Characteristics of Amplifiers - Characteristics of Detractors - Important Considerations in Hiring   Ready to simplify and streamline how you scale your business?

We discuss amplifiers in Season Two of the Netflix Shadow and Bone show, and come up with theories that we found surprisingly satisfying! We answer such questions as: How did that whole thing with Mal work, and do we even know if it stuck? What are some creative ways we can dispose of the Apparat? And of course: How clever was Baghra, really? (And, oops, JJ totally forgot that Yuri also means ‘farmer' in Russian. Yuri, a true everyman.) Spoilers for the Shadow and Bone trilogy, both seasons of Netflix's Shadow and Bone show, and the King of Scars duology.

In this episode we talk with Don K9AQ who has build many HF RF amplifiers.  We take a dive in to the details about modern solid state amplifiers using LDMOS semiconductor technology.

This week we find out what makes wifi 6 something you'll want to upgrade to, especially if you have a lot of IoT devices on your network. We also start a discussion on amplifiers. Do you need to spend thousands of dollars to get a quality amp? We also read your emails and talk about some of the week's news. News: DIRECTV STREAM Price Changes for 2023 Apple bows out of Sunday Ticket talks, leaving Amazon and Google as the finalists Sonos filing hints that its next speakers will support WiFi 6 Matter Support Arrives on 17 Amazon Echo Devices Other: Kasa Smart Plug Ara's Woodworking Join the Flaviar Whisky Club and get a free bottle Wifi 6 We've talked about wifi 6 for some time now and have said it's better. But exactly how is it better than previous wifi standards. Today we'll go through the main features and how it can help solve some of your wifi woes. Key benefits of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 technology include: Higher data rates - 9.6 Gbps. That's up from 3.5 Gbps on Wi-Fi 5 (theoretical maximums). Orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) effectively shares channels to increase network efficiency and lower latency for both uplink and downlink traffic in high demand environments Increased capacity - Multi-user multiple input, multiple output (multi-user MIMO) allows more data to be transferred at one time, enabling access points (APs) to concurrently handle more devices. The MIMO technology allows a router to communicate with multiple devices at the same time, rather than broadcasting to one device, and then the next, and the next. Right now, MU-MIMO allows routers to communicate with four devices at a time. Wi-Fi 6 will allow devices to communicate with up to eight. Improved power efficiency - Target wake time (TWT) significantly improves network efficiency and device battery life, including IoT devices. This allows devices to plan out communications with a router, reducing the amount of time they need to keep their antennas powered on to transmit and search for signals. That means less drain on batteries and improved battery life in turn. This feature is meant more for smaller, already low-power Wi-Fi devices that just need to update their status every now and then. (Think small sensors placed around a home to monitor things like leaks or smart home devices that sit unused most of the day.) Routers are on the market and range in price from about $100 for a basic setup to as high as $600 for Netgear Orbi whole house setup. A Linksys setup to cover a 3000 SF house will cost you about $300.
