I've got the first of many promised courses available for paid subscribers, with a deep dive about the camera and photo features of the under-rated Google Pixel phone. The Google Pixel has many critics saying that it has the best camera of any smartphone, which may or may not be true. But I can tell you this: Google has the lowest priced full-featured phone from a major competitor, at $499, several hundred dollars less than entry level phones from Apple and Samsung. And the Pixel has many cool features for photography that are different from the pack, yet, instructions for how to use them are scant. * Have an out of focus photo you'd like to fix? No problem. Let's unblur it. * Arte there too many weird expressions and closed eyes in your group shots? Google has a fix for it. * Hate having to reach over and snap the shutter when posing for a selfie? The Pixel will take the photo automatically, setting the timer after just as long as you show your hand. * Love making videos, but don't like how jerky your panning of the scene is? Good news–Google will make the shot smoother. And on and on. In this course, I'll walk you through the maze of menus on the Pixel, showing you the best settings for photos and video, and tour the camera and video modes, so you'll get a better idea about what you've got to work with. Everything is broken up into short lessons, so watch at your own pace. There are no tests or quizzes, but if you have questions, you can always e-mail me: photowalkstv@gmail.comSubstack paid subscribers can also access the chat service and get right to me. There will be more courses in the coming weeks about the camera features of the Samsung Galaxy and iPhone, so stay tuned. Also, I'd love to hear from you—are there other photography related courses you'd be interested in as part of your paid subscription?CLICK BELOW FOR THE COURSE

Welcome to our second episode in our Natural Stages of Growth in Writing series! Today we cover the Emerging Writers stage, which typically occurs around ages 8-10.

Plus, we talk about the Brave Writer Emerging Writers Bundle and the Dart and Partnership Writing Bundle– don't forget, they're on sale through the end of June!Resources:Big juicy questions. Memories that last a lifetime. Meaningful ways to learn grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

We're re-recording our Natural Stages of Growth in Writing series! If you're a longtime listener, you may remember our first series on the topic. It was made up of conversations between Julie and her son. Now we're recording in an updated format with more lessons learned and observations gleaned over the years.In this episode, we cover the Beginning Writers stage, also known as the “Jot It Down” stage. This stage actually starts when your baby says their first word and you reflexively write it down. As they grow older and break out into passionate stories like toddlers do, jot down those stories right there in the moment. In this stage you're teaching your child that writing is simply capturing thought in words that can be preserved for an interested audience.Julie and Melissa share adorable anecdotes of when they did this with their own children, not only building a foundational concept of writing, but also preserving invaluable family moments.Be sure to stick around for the end of the episode to learn about the Beginning Writers Bundle and the Quill and Jot It Down Bundle. All are one sale through the end of June!Resources:Big juicy questions. Memories that last a lifetime. Meaningful ways to learn grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

We explore the importance of maintaining a playful approach in parenting and education, redefining success based on individual growth, and navigating challenges with empathy. Dr. Shefali's insights on self-awareness, the inner child, and the imposter ego are enlightening and transformative.Tune in to hear more about these valuable parenting strategies and how they can lead to a more fulfilling and joyful journey for both parents and children.

There are two major pain points in homeschooling: writing and math. Our guest today helps us with the math part. Pat Murray is the founder of CTC Math, which should sound very familiar to listeners as CTC has been an incredible sponsor for many of our episodes.Pat tells us about the all-too-common trajectory of students: They're fine with math when they're very young, then they don't quite master one skill, then other skills are built on top of that missing skill, then things start to fall apart and students' entire confidence in “being good at math” shatters.That's why Pat has specifically built his online math program to identify those missing skills, explain them in a very clear and concise way, and have the student implement them so they can experience immediate small victories. Listening to how Pat has designed his program, why he makes all levels available to subscribers, and the stories he's accumulated over the years is a real treat. We're so glad he joined us!Resources:Sign up for a free trial at www.CTCtmath.comSign up for our Text Message Pod Ring to get podcast updates and more!Send us podcast topic ideas by texting us: +1 (833) 947-3684Connect with Julie:Instagram: @juliebravewriterThreads: @juliebravewriterTwitter: @bravewriterFacebook: facebook.com/bravewriterConnect with Melissa:Website: melissawiley.comSubstack: melissawiley.substack.comInstagram: @melissawileybooksTwitter: @melissawileyProduced by NOVA Media

When parents map out the annual homeschooling budget, there's a tendency to only focus on curriculum. In this episode, we encourage you to prioritize tools that really bring learning to life. Plus, we give you tips on how to get them on the cheap.We dive into specific suggestion after specific suggestion, mainly grouped into six buckets: Writing utensils, art and handicraft supplies, baking ingredients and tools, science kits, games and puzzles, magazines and field guides.We also give examples of experiential, rather than physical, tools that are great for homeschool families. We're big fans of annual memberships to art museums, zoos, botanical gardens, science museums, etc. Volunteering at local theaters or animal centers can be a great way to access fun learning environments. The right tools make all the difference in having a happy learning life. We hope our suggestions spark creativity and joy in you and your kids!

We dive into their new book, Think Differently About Learning: A Homeschool Where Children and Parents Thrive.It can be all too easy for homeschooling families to unintentionally replicate the negative aspects of traditional schooling that they were trying to avoid: Cookie cutter approaches, stress, burnout, etc. Think Differently About Learning gives a roadmap for a more joyful approach.We talk about building an appetite for learning by honoring learning differences, rest, and small wins. Plus, we discuss relying on relationships instead of rules to guide your child in decision-making. Themes of empowerment, pleasure, and wellness weave their way through our discussion.What Maren and Angela have to say as former traditional teachers and experienced homeschoolers is refreshing, tangible, and inspiring.

Hooray! Today's the publication day of my (Julie's) new workbook, “Becoming a Critical Thinker.” If you're a longtime listener of this podcast, you know that I'm pretty strict about workbooks. They should lead a child to mastery, to embodiment, to knowing the content for themselves. That's the approach I took to creating this workbook. I've reduced each of the activities to one key point. I've written just enough text for students to get that idea and then to practice it in the activity.I designed this workbook to help students grow as critical thinkers by turning the focus to their own thoughts. Why do they believe what they believe? What flaws can they notice in their own thinking? How do they reach conclusions?I dive into all this in-depth in today's episode.

Shannon Watts is the founder of Moms Demand Action, a six-million member organization she describes as “maybe the world's largest real life field experiment for what happens when you show women how their abilities and their burning desires and their values align, and how they come alive and can achieve things they never imagined possible.” We are thrilled to have her on the show today to talk about her upcoming book, “Fight Like a Mother.”We talk about how both misogyny and motherhood shape women's journey to, and through, advocacy. We discuss how to withstand blowback and the discomfort that comes with growth, including celebrating small wins and “finding your people.” We also touch on how social media has allowed women to bypass traditional media gatekeepers. Our conversation with Shannon about the intersection of motherhood, feminism, and activism is one that will keep us fueled for a long time.

The mind likes to catastrophize, for whatever reason. This is unhelpful in most (modern day) cases. Most of the time, simple is the most rational approach. (Note: I recorded this on my phone in my car. I am not sure why this is relevant information, other than to help you understand why the recording sounds that way. I don't want to wait until I have my fancy microphones or computer to record something. Using what I have when I have it is a much more realistic approach. There will always be more time for fancy recoding equipment.. now's not that time!). - - - -Other places to connect with me:Email: cannondispatchpodcast@gmail.comSubstack: https://cannondispatch.substack.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cannondispatchSpotifyApple Podcasts Get full access to The Cannon Dispatch at cannondispatch.substack.com/subscribe

Tom welcomes back private trader and newsletter publisher Kevin Muir of "The Macro Tourist" to the show. Kevin discusses the concept of "rolling mini bubbles" in markets. These bubbles form when an asset class or theme gains popularity among hedge funds, causing price increases based on perceived momentum rather than underlying value. Muir cited Tesla and the electric vehicle (EV) market as examples, noting that while these bubbles can inflate quickly, they also deflate rapidly. Muir suggested that certain stocks, particularly those related to EVs and artificial intelligence, are currently experiencing a bubble. He advised investors to focus on buying undervalued stocks and mentioned Japan as an area of potential value due to recent government actions benefiting the stock market. Muir also discussed the concept of reflexivity, introduced by George Soros, which suggests that investor actions can influence and be influenced by market performance, leading to more frequent and violent bubbles. The interview touches on Canada's economy, with Muir arguing that it is not as strong as the US despite similar fiscal stimulus during COVID-19. He pointed out that America spent more overall, experienced a larger housing bubble burst in 2008 leading to deleveraging, and currently has lower consumer debt compared to Canada. These factors make Canada more sensitive to higher interest rates, which Muir predicts will negatively impact the Canadian economy. Muir also discussed monetary stimulus, stating that it is less effective in changing behavior than fiscal stimulus. He suggested that recent inflation trends are partly due to a shift towards domestic production and increased labor bargaining power. Despite this, Muir noted that life may not necessarily become worse for the middle class, as higher wages and job security could offset inflation's impact.

In 2000, Kevin decided that bank-life wasn't for him, so he traded his own account for the next two decades. Along the way, he started writing the MacroTourist newsletter, which he describes as an "almost daily" letter about the markets that still manages to have fun. The MacroTourist newsletter attempts to bring a unique take on a variety of different financial topics. Kevin's tagline is, "All I Bring to the Party is 25 Years of Mistakes." Kevin Muir is a CFA and a graduate of the University of Toronto economics program.
There's a big difference between “the game of school” and “the learning game.” Ana Lorena Fábrega picked this up as a kid when she went to 10 different schools by the time she was 15. She learned it again as an educator herself. Today Ana joins us to discuss her book, “The Learning Game.” We talk about memorization vs. applied learning, “pointsification” vs gamification, testing culture vs. curiosity, and the importance of embracing confusion.

Today's episode is about how to homeschool while you have a baby or toddler in tow. As Julie puts it, “The crux of the issue is, how do I teach math to a second grader when I have a terrorist baby?” First, Julie and Melissa talk about daily routines, like finding pockets of time to teach your older kids while your toddler is napping or when you are all taking a family walk. Then they give specific activities that can keep toddlers occupied. They wrap up by covering a few strategies to involve friends and family, including co-ops, babysitting swaps, and grandparent-led science experiments.Resources:Check out: Susie Allison of Busy ToddlerSign up for our Text Message Pod Ring to get podcast updates and more!Send us podcast topic ideas by texting us: +1 (833) 947-3684Want help getting started with Brave Writer?
