This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Hello again. this is Trey. This is part 2 in my Cheap Yellow Display (CYD) Project series. You can find Part 1 in episode 4472 . We previously left our handy hero learning about the technology of the CYD, but without a compelling reason to begin using one. As we rejoin the topic, it was Winter Field Day 2025 (Jan 25 & 26, 2025). Winter Field Day is an annual event where amateur radio operators from around the world gather some portable radio equipment and setup somewhere away from their normal base of operations. It is designed to encourage operators to practice their emergency preparedness skills in unfavorable weather. Usually, they will run their equipment using batteries or generators. I chose this day because I knew there would be a good amount of radio traffic. I had just finished tuning my first handmade inverted-V dipole antenna for use on the 10 meter amateur radio bands. These span 28 MHz to 29.700 MHz. I had the antenna connected to a 10 meter transceiver to listen in on the radio traffic. Yes, I will include pictures of the antenna in the show notes. Scanning through the lower end of the band resulted in receiving a number of very strong continuous wave signals. Continuous wave, is abbreviated CW in amateur radio circles, and it stands for morse code signals transmitted over radio frequencies. The tones indicating dots and dashes of Morse code were clearly audible through the radio's speaker. "WAIT! STOP! Time out!!" I can hear you shouting as you listen. "This is supposed to be a discussion of the ESP32 CYD. What does this have to do with amateur radio?" You are absolutely right. Now hold your horses and we will get there. I barely learned Morse code as a child, and I used it a bit as an aviator in the '90s (while always being able to reference a visual representation of the Morse beside the actual letters). Thus, I never became proficient. Shortly after Winter Field Day 2025, I began taking lessons on Morse code, with the goal of becoming proficient at both sending and receiving at around 20 words per minute. This training may be a topic for another episode in a different series, as my journey advances. Scanning further up the band, I also identified some digital transmissions (Probably FT-8) and many voice transmissions. The antenna was working, at least for receiving. For a little back history, I have held an amateur radio license since 2016, and quickly progressed all the way to an Extra Class, giving me permission to use all of the amateur radio frequencies allowed within the United States in the High Frequency (HF), Very High Frequency (VHF), and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) bands. However, to this point, I have only operated in the VHF and UHF bands, and have done so using mobile and handheld transceivers. I inherited some HF equipment from a close friend who went silent key in 2023, and I was only now trying to use it. You can learn more about my friend, and about the term "Silent Key" in episode HPR3922 https://www.hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr3922/index.html ) On field day, there was far too much traffic, and it was too intimidating for me to make my first attempt at transmitting on the HF bands. This would have to wait until later. But I did need to determine how well my antenna would transmit. I began to ponder my options. I really did not want to talk to anyone until I had listened to more QSOs and I could implement proper practices. The term QSO the amateur radio term for radio conversations. I also have no interest in digital modes (yet). I like the simplicity of voice and CW. There I am, back at Morse code again. What if there was a way that I could transmit a signal in Morse code and get reliable feedback on signal propagation, without the need to try to reply to any responses? It would need to be an accurate, repeatable, properly structured and timed Morse code transmission, more than my training (at that point, or even this point) could accomplish. This was something to think about. And think about. And think about... Tune in to the next episode in the series to learn where these thoughts led me, and how all this relates to my CYD project.

All of us are quick learners when it comes to fear and trauma, and because of this, have developed strategies to survive the landscapes of our childhood. Some of us anxiously protect our relationships while others avoid connection and become self-reliant. Thankfully you can follow the Good Shepherd into a new landscape — the pasture of secure attachment. Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi chat with Cyd and Geoff Holsclaw — teachers, podcasters, and authors of Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection.

On episode 277 we were joined by Charlotte based artist CYD Tone for another inspiring one! Following a shift from basketball to music around 2016, CYD Tone has been on a steady evolution in his artistry ever since. He discussed with us what the transition was like and the initial positive responses he received on his early work that helped him gain the confidence to keep going. Since then he's racked up an impressive discography including his most recent album “Pressure Makes Diamonds” which saw his love for story-telling and personal growth in his music on full display. We enjoyed CYD's focus on his personal brand, his long term goals for continued growth, and his connection to the love for his craft. We're also excited to hear his next couple of projects that are coming soon and what else he has up his sleeve for the rest of 2025!

They unpack how branding is “friendly brainwashing,” why Stories outperform feeds for conversions, and how to turn everyday life into narrative arcs that book clients and sell classes—fast. You'll learn the difference between feed (discovery) and Stories (nurture + conversion), how to structure Story sequences with purpose, and why showing up imperfectly beats perfectly curated posts every time.

In this solo episode, Cyd takes a flamethrower to pricing confusion and breaks down the three models most stylists use—à la carte, session pricing, and hourly—without the fluff or guilt. She lays out clear pros and cons for each, then makes the simple, disruptive case: everything you sell is already time-based. If a cut takes 45 minutes and a blonding takes three hours, the price is always tied to time—whether you package it, rename it, or hide it under “starting at.”Cyd tackles the real barrier to hourly (it's not the math—it's saying your rate out loud), and gives exact scripts for explaining hourly to clients (“I charge for my time so you're never upsold”), teams (“we don't sell haircuts—we sell time”), and your socials/website (“book the time you need—if you're not sure, I'll guide you”). If you're sick of defending add-ons, confused by sessions, or nervous to claim your rate, this is the clean, transparent framework you've been looking for.
This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Hello, again. This is Trey. Several months ago, I heard Paul Asadoorian mention the Cheap Yellow Display on his podcast, Paul's Security Weekly ( https://www.scworld.com/podcast-show/pauls-security-weekly ). I didn't think much of it at the time, but then I heard it referenced again, and again. Then, finally, it was described, and I became interested. "Cheap Yellow Display" is the term used for the ESP32-2432S028R. Since this is somewhat challenging to say, and to remember, and since the board is yellow, and it can be obtained for as little as $12 USD, it has been given the nickname "Cheap Yellow Display". I will abbreviate this as CYD for the remainder of this episode. It is an ESP32 (with built in WiFi & Bluetooth) on a development board with one or more USB connectors, a MicroSD slot, a limited selection of GPIO pins, an RGB LED, a speaker, a light sensor, and best of all, a 2.8-inch (71mm) TFT touchscreen LCD display. The CYD runs on 5 volts DC. I am including some photographs of the CYD in the show notes. RandomNerdTutorials has produced a very good writeup about this board on their website ( https://randomnerdtutorials.com/cheap-yellow-display-esp32-2432s028r/ ). Brian Lough (AKA WitnessMeNow) has been building a community for the CYD on his GitHub site ( https://github.com/witnessmenow/ESP32-Cheap-Yellow-Display ) where he has instructions, examples, tutorials, downloadable tools, and much more. Beginning back in the 1970s, my father and I built electronics projects together. And I have had a love for doing so ever since. Over the last few years, I have built several Arduino based gadgets on different platforms, including a couple which run on breadboards sitting beside me on my desk (I will share more about one of those later). A common use for the CYD among hackers is to leverage the built in WiFi & Bluetooth radios to compromise wireless networks or devices. The Marauder project is a prebuilt image which can be loaded directly to the CYD to use it as a wireless hacking tool. Fr4nkFletcher's Github repository ( https://github.com/Fr4nkFletcher/ESP32-Marauder-Cheap-Yellow-Display ) is one place where you can download the Marauder tool. There are also video games, clocks, photo slideshows, and more, which have already been coded for you, and are available on the internet for download. What would you do with a CYD? What could you build? What problem might you solve? What fun project might you come up with? For myself, the CYD intrigued me, but it did not yet jump out at me as something I had a need for. Yet. What would change my mind? What would set me on a quest to obtain some of these devices and learn to develop code for them? What problem did I wish to solve? Tune in again, in a couple weeks, to learn the answers some of these questions and more in my next episode in this HPR series. Provide feedback on this episode.

From industry-standard buy-ins to retail shelves that make more dust than profit, they break down the manipulative dynamics between product companies and salons.They discuss how affiliate links could empower stylists, the myth of being “partnered” with a brand, and why so many stylists are unknowingly trapped in MLM-style sales models. Spoiler: if you're stocking shelves and selling out just to buy back in… that's not a partnership—it's a hustle.This episode is a reality check for anyone still clinging to outdated retail relationships and calling it loyalty. If you're ready to make money on your terms, set boundaries with brands, and stop cosplaying as a beauty distributor—this one's for you.Need salon business support?

Today on Karl and Crew, we discussed the importance of separating ourselves from bad influences. As followers of Christ, it’s crucial to surround ourselves with a community of fellow Christ-followers, as being surrounded by a worldly community can significantly influence our walk with Christ. We see this affirmed in 1 Kings 12, where we see how a young king, Rehboam, took the advice of bad influencers, and it led to destruction. We then turned to the phone lines to hear stories about good and bad influences from our listeners. Then we had Dr. Geoff and Cyd Holsclaws join us to talk about the intersection of faith, neuroscience, and spiritual formation. The Holsclaws are hosts of the podcast Attaching to God and wrote the book, “Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection.” Dr. Geoff has also authored several other books and is a visiting professor of theology at Western Theological Seminary. At the same time, Dr. Cyd is a Spiritual Director and a trauma-informed, Jesus-centered, professional certified coach with the International Coaching Federation. She is also a Certified NLP Master Practitioner and Master Coach. We also had Asheritah Ciuciu join us to talk about being sensitive to the presence of God in our lives and embracing it. Asheritah is a national speaker, bestselling author, and founder of One Thing Alone Ministries, an online ministry that helps overwhelmed women find joy in Jesus. She also has a YouTube Channel where she posts guided prayers, bible tips, and other resourceful videos. She has also authored several books, including “Delighting in Jesus-Rhythms to Restore Joy When You Feel Burdened, Broken, or Burned-Out.” You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

From tip culture and fake level systems to retail quotas and 40% commissions, Cyd breaks down why everything you've been told is “normal” is actually just outdated—and harmful.If you've ever been guilted for raising your rates, told to “earn your worth,” or felt trapped in someone else's idea of success, this episode is your wake-up call. It's time to burn the rulebook and build your own damn standard.

Today on Karl and Crew, we discussed the importance of separating ourselves from bad influences. As followers of Christ, it’s crucial to surround ourselves with a community of fellow Christ-followers, as being surrounded by a worldly community can significantly influence our walk with Christ. We see this affirmed in 1 Kings 12, where we see how a young king, Rehboam, took the advice of bad influencers, and it led to destruction. We then turned to the phone lines to hear stories about good and bad influences from our listeners. Then we had Dr. Geoff and Cyd Holsclaws join us to talk about the intersection of faith, neuroscience, and spiritual formation. The Holsclaws are hosts of the podcast Attaching to God and wrote the book, “Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection.” Dr. Geoff has also authored several other books and is a visiting professor of theology at Western Theological Seminary. At the same time, Dr. Cyd is a Spiritual Director and a trauma-informed, Jesus-centered, professional certified coach with the International Coaching Federation. She is also a Certified NLP Master Practitioner and Master Coach. We also had Asheritah Ciuciu join us to talk about being sensitive to the presence of God in our lives and embracing it. Asheritah is a national speaker, bestselling author, and founder of One Thing Alone Ministries, an online ministry that helps overwhelmed women find joy in Jesus. She also has a YouTube Channel where she posts guided prayers, bible tips, and other resourceful videos. She has also authored several books, including “Delighting in Jesus-Rhythms to Restore Joy When You Feel Burdened, Broken, or Burned-Out.” You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Together, they revisit the origins of the podcast, from YouTube harness-fitting videos and makeshift recording spots to the chemistry and chaos that shaped the show.

Embodied Faith: on Relational Neuroscience, Spiritual Formation, and Faith
Here is an audio snippet of our new book. Description below. Please buy and review.______Does it feel like you experience life in a totally different way than others? Like you are living somewhere else, and you can't build connection or intimacy with God like others can?There's a good chance that you, like so many of us, have tried it all: read your Bible more, gone to church more, prayed more, and delved deeper into self-awareness. But you still struggle with discontent, anxiety, avoidance and doubt. You still feel stuck.No matter where you find yourself emotionally, relationally, or spiritually, Jesus meets you there and helps you move toward a place of peace and rest. As pastors, coaches, and educators, Cyd and Geoff Holsclaw are very familiar with this struggle, and they are prepared to help. In Landscapes of the Soul, they draw on the science and spirituality of attachment theory, biblical wisdom, and the language of spiritual formation to show us why Christians tend to get stuck spiritually―and how to get unstuck and move forward.Whether you feel like you're living in a spiritual jungle, desert, or war zone, you will discover:how you are designed to grow good roots through healthy relational attachmenthow things go wrong through your often-distorted survival strategieshow God repairs your faith, hope, and love for Him, others, and ourselveshow Jesus quiets your anxious and avoidant faithhow to incorporate practices for building your security with GodYou aren't meant to live in the anxiety of a jungle, the desolation of a desert, or the chaos of a war zone.

Embodied Faith: on Relational Neuroscience, Spiritual Formation, and Faith
In a sense, this is where all the attachment stuff started, with Cyd telling the "Shepherd Story" to our boys during bedtime. Over and over, year by year, she did this little guided meditation with them. She was doing attachment work with the Good Shepherd even before we had language for it. Many listeners and cohort members have asked for a recording of this prayer exercise, so here it is. For all the background (attachment theory and spirituality), see our new book, Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection (and please review it on Amazon).Dive deeper in our new book, Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection, and learn about our trainings and other resources at embodiedfaith.life.Stay Connected: Check out our Attaching to God 6-Week Learning Cohort.

Cyd and Geoff Holsclaw join the podcast for a deep conversation on spiritual formation, attachment theory, and why so many of us feel stuck in our faith. Drawing from their work in neuroscience, pastoral care, and discipleship, they unpack how our early relational patterns shape the way we experience God and how we can begin to heal. We explore the four “landscapes of the soul” (the pasture, jungle, desert, and war zone), how spiritual practices like silence, Bible study, and joy impact us differently depending on where we're starting from, and how to integrate intimacy and obedience in a holistic journey with God. This episode invites us to move beyond a one-size-fits-all model of discipleship and embrace a more embodied, relational, and compassionate approach to following Jesus.Geoff Holsclaw (PhD) is cohost of the Embodied Faith podcast, which seeks a neuroscience-informed spiritual formation. He is also an affiliate professor of theology at Northern Seminary (Lisle, Illinois) and a pastor at Vineyard North in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

In this powerful and unfiltered episode of Destroy The Hairdresser, Cyd and David unpack the glamorization of queer stylists in the salon industry—and the exploitation that often hides underneath. From being celebrated for their “fabulous energy” to being overlooked for leadership and pay raises, queer hairdressers are too often stuck in a glitter-covered box.

It's time to stop clapping and start cutting checks.
A listener drops the tea on a messy rental salon situation: rent hikes, commission assistants in a booth rental space, unclear policies, and a salon owner watching everyone on motion-sensor cameras. Cyd and David unpack why hybrid models get chaotic fast, how leadership confusion breeds distrust, and why booth renters need to understand they're glorified tenants—not team members. Oh, and if you're scared of salon cameras? You might just be scared of getting caught.
