But as retirement moves from a distant goal to a reality on the horizon, the questions become more complicated. I'm discussing when it may make sense to shift from maximizing growth to preserving wealth, how late starters should approach retirement investing, and why two retirees with similar assets may choose completely different strategies. To learn how to think about investing in the second half of your financial life, tune in. ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: Aaron Katsman, Lighthouse Capital | Jerusalem LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: The Aaron Katsman Show Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1lePc1pC0giBFV1nzCGsQR ________________________________________________________________ VISIT MY WEBSITE: Website: https://www.aaronkatsman.com/ ________________________________________________________________ CONTACT ME: Email me: aaron@lighthousecapital.co.il ________________________________________________________________ DISCLAIMER: Aaron Katsman is a licensed financial professional both in the U.S. and Israel.

John Carey, senior vice president of global channels at SAS Institute Recorded on site at SAS Innovate 2026 in Grapevine, Texas, this week’s In The Channel features John Carey, senior vice president of global channels at SAS Institute, in a conversation that covers the full arc of his four years building SAS’s channel program from the ground up. When Carey joined in 2022, SAS had a history with partners – advisory engagement, project delivery – but limited co-sell and no resell motion. His mandate was to change that. The conversation traces that journey: the introduction of a clear market segmentation (enterprise above the line, channel below the line), the decision to route transactions through partners while keeping end-user contracts with SAS intact, and the live project underway right now to migrate direct customers to indirect. A central theme is the distribution partnership with TD SYNNEX, which Carey frames as a leverage mechanism – moving from thousands of customers to hundreds of partners to one distributor – giving SAS the financial and operational flexibility it needs while giving partners financing terms, invoicing support, and credit options a software vendor is not built to provide. On the competitive landscape, Carey draws a sharp line between SAS and the AI tools crowding the market. Others turn up with an easy button and a black box. SAS turns up with a transparent box and a governance framework – and with SAS AI Navigator now tracking agent behaviour across the Viya platform, that framework is getting sharper. The episode closes with a candid look at the partner economics model – an inverted approach that makes it easy to start selling and lets services investment follow the book of business – and a direct invitation to Canadian solution providers with data, security, and infrastructure skills to get into the conversation now. Read Full Transcript Robert Dutt: Hello, and welcome to In The Channel from ChannelBuzz.ca, bringing news and information to the Canadian IT channel community for the last 16 years. I’m Robert Dutt, editor of ChannelBuzz.ca, and your host for the show. Still coming to you this week from Grapevine, Texas, from SAS Innovate 2026. If you caught our last episode with Ryan Macdonald, leader of SAS Canada, you heard the view from the Canadian perspective: the AI maturity story, OSFI E-21, and the mid-market channel opportunity. This time I’m going a level up. My guest today is John Carey, senior vice president of global channels at SAS Institute. John’s about four years into the role, and he came in with a specific mandate: to rethink what partnering looks like for a company with a long history of advisory and delivery through partners, but limited co-sell and essentially no resale motion. Four years later, the picture looks pretty different. There’s a clear market segmentation model, a distribution partnership with TD SYNNEX, an active project underway right now to migrate direct customers to indirect, and a 30% channel revenue target that’s already evolving into something even more ambitious. We talk about all of it: what he found when he arrived, how the direct-to-indirect transition is actually landing with customers, what the partner economics look like for a new SAS partner in 2026, how this week’s AI Navigator and agentic AI announcements change the channel opportunity, and what he thinks the SAS channel looks like in three years if things go well. Let’s get right into it. My chat with John Carey. John, thanks for taking the time. I appreciate it. John Carey: Appreciate it. Good to be here, Robert. Robert Dutt: You’re about four years into leading channels for SAS if memory serves and I’m able to do the math—both of which are somewhat suspect. Can you tell me a little bit about what you found when you got here and the quick version of the journey in building the channel from your point of view? John Carey: Got it. Well, first of all, you absolutely did get it right. It is, come June, four years since I joined SAS. Now, the first thing—I was brought in by the ELT, with an ELT remit to rethink partnering for SAS’s future. So we had a history of partnering. If you think about where SAS came from, a lot of advisory engagement, a lot of delivery through partners, but not necessarily a lot of co-sell and certainly no resell. So one of the remits coming in was to assess the business, understand what the opportunities were, and build a program that allows us to create a growing business that is driven by partners and owned by partners. And we get the acceleration and the leverage of the partner community that all software vendors are seeking and hope to take advantage of. When I came in, I would say we lacked maturity in our partnering in some areas. We were definitely mercurial in a way that wasn’t helpful. Partners didn’t have consistency, and we weren’t persistent in holding ourselves and our partners accountable. There was a lot of, “If only… it’s not me, it’s them.” So phase one: get to a single source of truth. So we introduced undisputed channel revenue. Let’s agree and measure together the value of the channel in our business. The other thing we did is we segmented, for the first time, our market. We had historically looked at our install base as a quadrant, an ABCD, thinking about propensity for growth and saturation. And we moved to the more traditional pyramid, but with a binary segmentation. So above the line: enterprise; below the line: channel. And that allowed us to prioritize routes to market. So in the enterprise, it’s very much a co-sell partner delivery model. GSIs are a very strong focus. Technology partners are a very strong focus up there. And then certain regional boutique consulting partners continue to be high value, particularly in our vertical industries—FSI, public sector, life sciences. Below the line, the story was: how do we give this business to the partners, give partners autonomy, and allow them to determine their own future? So that was really about taking business that was historically direct and making it indirect. Actually, this year, we have a whole project where we are moving our channel direct install base to indirect. So, communicating with the customer about why it’s good for them, communicating to the partner of what they need to do to be ready, and then putting that fuel into an engine that we’ve been building over the last few years with partners with strong SAS skills, but who were traditionally services partners and have had to build something of a resale muscle. We’re also starting to recruit some more traditional high-powered solution providers, as well as really focusing on managed service provider opportunities with partners who not only can sell the solution, but they host and operate the solution for the customer. And the nexus of this was finding ways to bring the enterprise value of SAS to the non-enterprise client base, and to do that through our local superpower, which is our partner community who understand those customers and their pain points in a way that we just don’t have the resources to do, and to make sure they’re empowered with the kind of tools and the right cost structure to be able to give that enterprise value at a non-enterprise price point. Robert Dutt: How has that direct-to-indirect transition gone? How does that land with customers? It’s got to be a bit of a communication challenge because you want to make sure you’re not positioning it as “we’re stepping away from you,” even if you’re introducing a partner into the mix. John Carey: Yeah. So this is what we’re going through right now. So first of all, there’s the angst as a vendor of saying, “I’m about to go to a customer and say our transactional relationship is going to change.” But really, our contractual relationship remains intact. The contract between the end user and the vendor stays in place. We are responsible for delivering on the value of the platform or the solution provided. What we’re doing is we’re rerouting the transaction through a partner, which means we can support more currencies. We can support different pricing conditions and payment terms that, as an enterprise, we’re just not able to entertain for anyone but the largest customers. And so our positioning is: it gives our customers far more flexibility and more intimate engagement than being part of a long tail of customers for a large enterprise that end up in this pool that you call “programmatic”—which we all use the words, but none of us like those words. And a way of avoiding that is to say, “This isn’t programmatic. This is channel-managed,” because this is where the partners are stepping in to make sure that that customer feels like the most important customer of that partner, rather than the not-most-important customer of a large vendor. Robert Dutt: Can you tell me a little bit more about the managed services motion and how you see that evolving, especially as SAS overall has become much more open in terms of the whole structure there—getting into MCP and acknowledging that a lot of times customers are going to be consuming SAS’s insights and abilities through the chatbots and other channels, for want of a better word? John Carey: Well, look, first of all, I’ve certainly lived through enough inflection points to recognize one as it comes along. And this is an inflection point where there’s opportunity and risk. When I think about the philosophy from the channel, certainly with channel customers, I want those customers hosted by partners. Why? Because a big part of their TCO challenge is just giving them access to software doesn’t mean they can afford the resources to operate and maximize return on that software. If they can be supported by a managed service provider, by a solution provider who’s hosting on their behalf, now they have access to actual educated, certified SAS resources who are dedicated to making sure they maximize the return on that investment. And so with that underpinning, you then think about the integration of the chatbots—the Anthropic’s, Copilot, Gemini integration. It’s pretty scary for mid-sized customers to be thinking about this. I mean, do most people know that if you put your data up on those things that it’s no longer privileged? Do most people know that there’s an element here which feels like social media, that we’ve since learned who’s being monetized here? This feels free, but actually I’m feeding this model all of my proprietary data to get a presumed efficiency which may or may not turn up, in the hope that it doesn’t hallucinate. Well, when I look at that and I think about SAS making data ready for the AI lifecycle, SAS having a governance infrastructure that allows us to identify bias, to make sure—now, as you heard announced yesterday, the AI Navigator that allows us to track these agents and ensure that we understand whether agents are behaving in a way that is copacetic with the intention of the business user. And if one fails or starts to behave in a way that is not aligned with the organization, you’re able to flag that. You’re able to communicate that to other connected agents so that you can source the problem and solve the problem. I think when we think of it in that way, this is a real opportunity for the channel to step in. These moments of “How do I bridge the technology into value?” is the perfect space for resellers, service providers, solution providers to step in, navigate that complexity for the customer, give the customer confidence with the technology choices that they’re making—that they are safe and secure with SAS. As I frame it, we’re a 50-year-old vendor who’s been in the most regulated industries. Others out there turn up with an easy button and a black box. We turn up with a transparent box and a governance framework that means we acknowledge nothing’s easy, but once you engage in this, you will survive audit. You will be able to understand where problems occurred and why, and you will be able to remediate. Robert Dutt: A few years ago, maybe about three, you guys signed on TD SYNNEX. I think that’s the first major global distribution partner for you guys. What was the hypothesis behind that move, and how has it worked out? John Carey: So the general hypothesis was—and again, I’ve been in the industry a long time. I think every year we hear the headline, “This is the year distribution is no longer relevant.” I actually did a column on that not too long ago. Robert Dutt: There you go. John Carey: And meanwhile, they continue to provide new and incremental value. One of the hypotheses was as we moved to indirect, there is obviously—from going from thousands of customers to hundreds of partners, going from hundreds of partners to one distributor allows us to get that leverage effect through quotes, transactions, credit. Something that provides a security to us as a vendor that allows us to lean in, but also provides structure and options at the partner level that they need, but are not a priority for us as a vendor. So TD SYNNEX offers financing terms. They will invoice on behalf of the partner. They will put together creative fiscal options that allow customers to stretch. They’ll even offer to assess credit based on the end user’s credit rather than the partner’s credit. Those are fantastic services that just, frankly, as a vendor, aren’t our core business. So what we’re able to do is to address more customers through more partners and do the thing that we’re really good at: solve their data and AI problems through Viya and our solution stack and bring value to those businesses. Robert Dutt: Given all that, a while ago the goal was set for 30%, I think, of revenues through channels. Where does that sit today? What’s the momentum looking like? And what do you see as sort of remaining obstacles along the way to that goal? John Carey: Yeah, so great progress. So if I think about segments—the channel segment, which is 100% indirect, is between 10% and 15% of our business. In the enterprise, there’s a lot of channel fulfillment and engagement. And so overall, we are very close to that 30% of the total business being with or through a partner. But we want to—the new goal is, as all goals change: I want to be 30% of the overall business with that channel segment. With that segment of customers that are exclusively partner, and therefore be a strong contributor into the enterprise accounts with partner co-sell, partner fulfillment, and partner delivery. So future’s bright. All goals, as they need to, change over time and the bar increases. And we are doing a great job of forcing that bar up every year so that we have to ask more of ourselves and our partners so that we make sure we focus on delivering value to our customers. Robert Dutt: Let’s talk about what it looks like to be a SAS partner today in terms of the economics and all that kind of good stuff. What does success look like economically for a partner today? And how is that story changing as the product portfolio and the goal shifts? John Carey: As you say, goals are made for changing. And especially in this industry, things change fast. So maybe a good way of thinking about this is: what’s the conversation with a new partner that we’re onboarding? And one of the things we’ve tried to do is to say, “Hey, look, we will have the packaging so that you can focus on sales readiness first and build a book of business with us.” So that’s where we leverage package service offerings from our SAS consulting organization that are resellable by partners. We are rationalizing our product portfolio for the SMB market to be far more prescriptive. We know what works, but we still have the full enterprise list of offers, and frankly, it doesn’t add value. It adds something of a confusing layer of options that aren’t really relevant for many of the use cases and customers that we and our partners specifically deal with. So phase one: build an annuity business on the resale model. As you become—and as it makes sense in your business—to invest in services headcount, then those package service offerings get replaced by your own services. And it is a services-rich business. The great thing about a data and AI platform is once you start answering questions and you’ve built that trust with the client, more and more questions occur. And models need to be refined; models need to be promoted. And as a partner, if you are doing this in a regular cadence, you are building a scenario where that customer trusts you as their trusted advisor and comes to you for those service elements. So the baseline is—and we pay more on New than we do on Renew. There’s an annuity business build out there that is driven by sales enablement and sales focus and strong investment in demand generation on our channel marketing center platform, where you can run co-branded campaigns and drive real top-of-the-funnel demand. We’ll work with you on getting that down into closed business, and we know how to do that very well. As it becomes reasonable for you to make investments in technical resources where you know you have a book of business, you can apply those resources too. That’s where we ask partners to lean in. And at that point, they are now attaching services, and that grows their—and we know that services are more profitable than the resale. So it’s table stakes: build a book of business that’s got an annuity associated, and then use that to catalyze investment in more profitable services over time, which is something of a sea change. When I came in, there was a lot of investment required before a partner was allowed to sell. And we’ve inverted that to say, “I want it to be easy for you to sell and we’ll support you.” And when you’ve got the right amount of business behind you, then it makes logical sense for you to invest. And that investment is the outsized return for you as a partner. Now, for our existing partners, it’s the inverse, right? They were already doing a lot of delivery. They know how to do the services. This now gives them a vehicle to attach those services to that’s more autonomous and less dependent on a SAS seller to pull them in after. And so with that, they’ve made great investments in sales functions within their organizations for product sale and attaching their own services straight out of the gate. Robert Dutt: Big announcement week this week with AI Navigator on governance, the new agentic AI capabilities across the board, the industry accelerators. From a channel strategy standpoint, do these announcements change who you’re looking for in terms of partners, or is it an opportunity to do more and different things with the base? John Carey: I think the honest answer is both. If I think about our GSIs, the accelerators, the models, the agentic capabilities are incredibly attractive to our global systems integrator partners. And it gives them a reason to lean in even more with us around account telemetry, account planning, and moving out of that advisory engagement into delivery engagement with them. And we are now a very modern platform that has been very considerate of where our customers are. We’re a company who reflects the personality of our founder. I think of that Teddy Roosevelt quote: “Walk quietly, but carry a big stick.” Well, we walk quietly, but with our platform and our solutions, that’s a very big stick. It makes a lot of noise. And I think what you saw at this Innovate was kind of something we’ve known for a while, but now the market is starting to recognize is that there’s a lot of significant growth value there for existing customers as they move to Viya and the Viya solutions with the agentic AI integrations, with the accelerators. So that’s happening, I think, on the other side. We are now at a point of inflection where enterprise capabilities are expected at non-enterprise accounts. And how we execute on that is through partners and through prescription and optimization, so that when we engage, we give those customers a very clear message of what they can do and what they can achieve and what it’s going to cost them. And that is all within their budgetary expectation, and we execute on that relentlessly and consistently with our partners. Robert Dutt: When I chatted with Ryan Macdonald, who heads up the Canadian operations, a bit earlier, he talked about—especially in competitive situations—what he called a “hidden SAS situation,” where organizations will find that they’re running business-critical decisions on stuff, on SAS, that they’ve almost forgotten about. It just kind of sits there, it just works. And the conversation becomes about: how do you upgrade and grow from that foundation? How do you find that conversation showing up in the partner community? And if it is, in fact, a partner conversation, how are you equipping partners to realize that opportunity? John Carey: Yeah, so I think that’s very much a conversation with our established enterprise industry accounts. And so how I think that shows up is our conversations with our global systems integrator partners. They’ve made investments in assessment tools and accelerators and migration pathways that help a customer understand how they are currently using their SAS estate and what critical functions are being run on that estate, so they can help a customer understand the actual relevance. It’s like, I live in Florida, right? I only notice the air conditioning when it doesn’t work. But you don’t switch off the air conditioning unless you’ve got an alternative ready to go. And their job is to make sure customers, when making strategic decisions, understand the impact of decisions they may make. And that, I think, creates an opportunity for how we’re talking about: “We’re going to actually upgrade you so that you have better climate control, right? You have new options. It can be more cost-effective as it scales and it can meet more of your needs. And you don’t lose the critical foundation that you’ve been building your business on.” I think there’s some of that recognition that we’re a relatively humble organization, but I’m starting to hear more of our customers acknowledge, more of our partners talk about, “Hey, let’s not shy away from the fact you’re running your business on SAS.” This is critical functionality. We hear billions being managed. When we think about our price book, we talk about billions of assets under management. I mean, that’s the order of magnitude of what we’re managing from a risk or a fraud perspective. And we want to make sure that we can meet customers where they are and make sure they make decisions that are good and solid for their business. Robert Dutt: Another one that came up with Ryan was the idea of increasingly seeing GSI plus niche specialist partner and kind of the ecosystem play. I’m curious if that’s a deliberate strategy. Is it something you’ve observing and adopting to? John Carey: For me, I think it’s always been there. I think GSIs have always really effectively subcontracted in specific expertise and niche value as needed when doing delivery. I think what’s happening now, again, with disruptive inflection points—what I believe we see happening is things that were already happening become very visible. So I think what we’re seeing right now is, rather than that being a subcontract relationship, it’s a more explicit contract with GSI, contract with boutique partner with very specialized expertise. And it’ll settle over time, and it may even go back to more of a subcontract model. But I think that’s great. We’re all acknowledging that there is value in industry expertise, and even within industry expertise, there is real value in some very niche expertise that requires that level of investment. And you should be paying to make sure you get the right value resource working on your project. Robert Dutt: If I’m a Canadian reseller or a system integrator who hasn’t worked with SAS to date listening to this and thinking, “All right, they have an interesting story, they’re in an interesting place.” What’s the right profile for a partner for you right now? What are you looking for? What do you actually need more of in the market? John Carey: I would say I’m looking for solution providers. So I’m looking for partners who can address mid-market organizations’ needs across data and AI. With a strong relationship with TD SYNNEX, great credit, skills in infrastructure, security, data, who are looking to an adjacent expansion where bringing in SAS as a way to modernize that data for the AI lifecycle and turn that data now into insight and from insight into workflow integrated with agentic capabilities. If that’s your bag, don’t just knock on the door, knock our door down. We want to talk to you. Robert Dutt: Fair enough. Final question: what does the SAS channel look like in three years if things go well and there aren’t additional changes along the way? What would you point to and say, “That’s the thing we’re building towards”? John Carey: I think the service provider in the mid-market and below will become a far more dominant motion. I think in the enterprise, we’ll see even more integration of partners from a fulfillment perspective as customers start to push vendors to engage with them through the advisors who have guided them through this transformative period. And I think as a vendor, you just have to acknowledge that the customer is going to tell you who they want to buy from. The customer is going to tell you who they want to work with. And as a vendor, what you want to say is, “Well, if they have the skills, we should lean in. If they don’t have the skills, we should be really honest about the fact that we think you could be better served by a partner that looks with this profile and skills, and here are some we would recommend.” But again, the customer is ultimately going to make the trade-offs. But I would say managed service providers are increasing, and partners building their own value on top of the Viya platform in industries where we have yet to unlock use cases are becoming more and more the norm. Robert Dutt: Especially since so much of the audience is in that MSP space, I think that’s going to be one that hits home. Well, John, I appreciate you taking the time on what I’m sure has been a very busy week. John Carey: I appreciate it, Robert. Thank you for the time. Robert Dutt: There you have it—John Carey from SAS Institute. I’d like to thank John for his time and thank you for listening. Few things I’m taking away from this one. First, the framing I kept coming back to is the transparent box versus the black box. Others turn up with the easy button and a black box. SAS turns up and says nothing is easy, but when you engage with us, you’ll understand where problems occurred and why, and you’ll be able to remediate. In an environment where AI governance is moving from a theoretical concern to an operational requirement, that’s a differentiated position and for channel partners, it means the conversation is not just about selling software. It’s about being the guide that helps the customer make confident technology choices. Second, the direct-to-indirect migration is live right now. The contract between the end user and SAS doesn’t change. What changes is the transaction route, and the pitch to customers is that instead of being part of a long tail at a large enterprise, you become the most important customer of a partner who’s dedicated to your success. It’s a strong repositioning and the kind of opening that partners who have not been in the SAS conversation before should be paying attention to. Third, John was pretty clear about where the next three years go. Managed service providers building up their own value on top of the Viya platform in industries where use cases are still being unlocked. If you’re an MSP with deep vertical expertise and data, security, or infrastructure skills, this episode makes the case for why you should be knocking on SAS’s door. We’ll be back on Monday with more from SAS Innovate as we hear the practitioner side of the story: my conversation with Nat D’Ercole from Deloitte Canada on what AI transformation actually looks like from inside a major Canadian enterprise engagement.

To learn what most people miss when planning early retirement, tune in. ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show/id1192234142 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1lePc1pC0giBFV1nzCGsQR ________________________________________________________________ VISIT MY WEBSITE: Website: https://www.aaronkatsman.com/ ________________________________________________________________ CONTACT ME: Email me: aaron@lighthousecapital.co.il ________________________________________________________________ DISCLAIMER: Aaron Katsman is a licensed financial professional both in the U.S. and Israel.

The Pure Report welcomes Andrea Moccia, VP of AI and Data at Options Technology, and Robert Alvarez, AI Solution Architect at Everpure, to discuss the cutting edge of AI deployment right after the energy of NVIDIA GTC. We dive into sobering statistics that show a high failure rate for generative AI pilots—95% fail to scale to production—and discuss how the root cause is a fundamental data strategy problem. Our discussion shift to focus around the unique, high-stakes challenges faced by the financial services industry (FSI), which contends daily with massive data volume (tens of petabytes of market data), strict global compliance and regulatory requirements, and the need for near real-time, low-latency answers from AI models. Andrea explains how the power of simplicity is an operational advantage, following the mantra: "Simplicity is what lets you be brave.” He details how Options is addressing issues like data leakage and data sovereignty with their Private Mind offering—a private, sovereign AI platform where they control the entire stack, from model to metal" Robert and Andrea connect this innovation to the Everpure partnership, specifically how solutions like Data Stream and Everpure KVA (which Robert co-developed) are vital in reducing implementation complexity and accelerating real-world use cases, such as building a powerful knowledge graph on hundreds of thousands of SEC filings efficiently. Finally, we conclude with our Hot Takes segment to dispel common AI misconceptions. We talk about how companies should stop obsessively chasing the latest frontier models or GPUs for every task, as open-source alternatives and smaller, distilled models are perfectly capable for a majority of use cases. In conclusion, hear how the true key to AI maturity and growth lies not in chasing technological hype, but in removing data silos, fixing the foundational data strategy, and using the rapidly maturing AI ecosystem to streamline business processes.

The Offset Podcast crew comes to Color & Coffee. Joey D'Anna and Robbie Carman, partners at DC Color, join Jason for a conversation that's equal parts gear obsession, honest industry reflection, and a surprisingly sharp debate about where AI is actually headed.Fresh off their 50th episode, Joey and Robbie share the topics that have stuck with them most: managing relationships in post, the things nobody warns you about when you go independent, and why archival workflow is one of the most overlooked conversations in the industry. They also get into something most colorists feel but rarely say out loud: the fine line between a legitimate upgrade and plain old technology lust.The AI discussion is worth the price of admission on its own. Rather than doom or hype, the three break it down by what actually works: ML masking for quick fixes, LLMs for one-off automation like turning messy producer notes into EDLs and Resolve markers, and more. Subscribe, share with a fellow color nerd, and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

What does resistance training have to do with building wealth? More than you think. New research analyzing over 30,000 participants found that the biggest gains don't come from complicated programs, they come from consistency and simply getting started. That same principle applies directly to your financial life. In this week's episode, I break down why most people struggle financially, not because they lack intelligence or information, but because they overcomplicate the process, delay getting started, or try to outsmart a system that actually rewards simplicity and discipline. Building wealth isn't about finding the perfect strategy, it's about doing the right things consistently over time. To learn how to simplify your approach and actually make progress, tune in now. ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show/id1192234142 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1lePc1pC0giBFV1nzCGsQR ________________________________________________________________ VISIT MY WEBSITE: Website: https://www.aaronkatsman.com/ ________________________________________________________________ CONTACT ME: Email me: aaron@lighthousecapital.co.il ________________________________________________________________ DISCLAIMER: Aaron Katsman is a licensed financial professional both in the U.S. and Israel.

Look development and color grading share tools, but they are not the same job. We sit down with the Hal Pictures team — Martin Roux, Olivier Patron, Paul Morin, and Antoine Mayette — to dig into how a group of French DOPs, a DIT, and a director built the tools they couldn't find anywhere else: Diachromie and Diaphanie.The conversation starts where the frustration did. Post houses in France lacked proper look development infrastructure, and what existed elsewhere was either inaccessible or wrong for their workflow. So they built their own, rooted in a principle that any image can be decomposed into three parts: contrast, color tone curves, and color volume. Understand those, and you can describe a look. If you can describe it, you can build it.We break down Diachromie's approach to shaping the color volume parametrically inside a color-managed pipeline, and Diaphanie's frequency separation engine for texture — MTF, halation, bloom, and grain as independent, composable layers. The team explains why they separated color from texture, why that opens up aesthetics beyond film emulation, and why algorithm-based tools and sample-based tools are different propositions — not better or worse, just different.There's also a practical conversation about the limits of OpenFX, running multiple plugin instances to work around fixed order-of-operations, and how the preset system carries look development knowledge from project to project.These are practitioners who built for their own needs, then released it. That lineage shows in every design decision.Subscribe, share with a fellow color nerd, and leave a review.

We've seen wars, financial crises, and market crashes over the past several decades. Yet over time, markets have continued to recover and grow. If you're investing for the long term, volatility isn't a surprise. It's part of the process. To learn how to stay grounded, avoid panic, and make smarter investment decisions during uncertain times, tune in now. ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show/id1192234142 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1lePc1pC0giBFV1nzCGsQR ________________________________________________________________ VISIT MY WEBSITE: Website: https://www.aaronkatsman.com/ ________________________________________________________________ CONTACT ME: Email me: aaron@lighthousecapital.co.il ________________________________________________________________ DISCLAIMER: Aaron Katsman is a licensed financial professional both in the U.S. and Israel.

What does Passover cleaning have to do with your financial life? As we prepare for Pesach, we spend time scrubbing, organizing, and clearing out what we don't need. But for many people, their financial lives could use the exact same process. In this episode, I talk about why most financial struggles aren't about intelligence or lack of information. They're about life getting in the way, expenses creeping up, investments accumulating without a plan, and goals getting lost over time. Just like cleaning your home for Passover, financial clarity requires stepping back, taking inventory, and getting intentional about what matters. From defining clear goals to reviewing your investments and expenses, this episode is about creating a system that actually works. To learn how to reset your financial life and reduce stress, tune in now. ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show/id1192234142 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1lePc1pC0giBFV1nzCGsQR ________________________________________________________________ VISIT MY WEBSITE: Website: https://www.aaronkatsman.com/ ________________________________________________________________ CONTACT ME: Email me: aaron@lighthousecapital.co.il ________________________________________________________________ DISCLAIMER: Aaron Katsman is a licensed financial professional both in the U.S. and Israel.

Is social media giving you a completely unrealistic picture of retirement? From luxury travel to “living your best life,” Instagram and other platforms are filled with images of what retirement is supposed to look like. But for many people, trying to keep up with that version of retirement can lead to serious financial mistakes. In this episode, I break down what I call the “Instagram retirement trap” and why comparing your financial reality to what you see online can be dangerous. We spend decades saving and planning for retirement. The last thing you want is to undo that discipline by chasing a lifestyle you can't actually afford. Yes, you should enjoy your money. Yes, you should spend in retirement. But it has to be within your means. To learn how to enjoy retirement without putting your financial future at risk, tune in now. ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show/id1192234142 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1lePc1pC0giBFV1nzCGsQR ________________________________________________________________ VISIT MY WEBSITE: Website: https://www.aaronkatsman.com/ ________________________________________________________________ CONTACT ME: Email me: aaron@lighthousecapital.co.il ________________________________________________________________ DISCLAIMER: Aaron Katsman is a licensed financial professional both in the U.S. and Israel.

Can war and scary headlines derail your investment strategy? With markets reacting to global conflict and nonstop predictions of financial disaster, many investors start wondering if it's time to sell and get out. History suggests otherwise. In this episode, I walk through why market panic is nothing new, why predictions about crashes are usually wrong, and why investors with a long-term plan should stay focused on their goals instead of reacting to every headline. To learn why tuning out the noise may be one of the most important investment decisions you make, tune in now. ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: Aaron Katsman, Lighthouse Capital | Jerusalem LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: The Aaron Katsman Show Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1lePc1pC0giBFV1nzCGsQR ________________________________________________________________ VISIT MY WEBSITE: Website: https://www.aaronkatsman.com/ ________________________________________________________________ CONTACT ME: Email me: aaron@lighthousecapital.co.il ________________________________________________________________ DISCLAIMER: Aaron Katsman is a licensed financial professional both in the U.S. and Israel.

The film emulation market has exploded, and not all of it is honest. We sit down with Nico Fink of Demystify Color to sort through what's real, what's redundant, and what actually moves the craft forward. From high-end tools like Filmbox and Genesis to mid-tier DCTLs and the growing wave of copied assets flooding Etsy and Instagram ads, Nico and Jason map out the full landscape and talk plainly about where the value lives.We break down the different tiers of film emulation, give ARRI Film Lab a look, and dig into what separates genuinely new work from tweaking someone else's DCTL by a percent and calling it yours. There's also a real conversation about "modern film emulation", or using photochemical philosophy as a foundation, then pushing beyond celluloid's limits.We also get into something that doesn't get discussed enough: running a creative business as a new father. Both Jason and Nico are in the thick of it: sleep-deprived, renegotiating focus, and relearning what actually counts as urgent. It's an honest conversation about humility, phone addiction, and what "responsive" can realistically look like at a year in.The Hollywood look isn't a plugin. It's wardrobe, lenses, lighting, performance, and a colorist who knows which tool to reach for and when. Film emulation might be one piece of that sandwich, but it's just the lettuce.Subscribe, share with a fellow color nerd, and leave a review. New parent in post?

The Hoover Institution's Project on Taiwan in the Indo-Pacific Region held a public session on Resilient Realists: How Taiwan Navigates Its Future in a Turbulent World on March 2, 2026 from 1:00-2:30 PM PT. Since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical competition between the United States and the People's Republic of China (PRC) has rapidly intensified, and the global order has faced growing strains. Through it all, Taiwan has remained remarkably resilient. In the face of relentless diplomatic, economic, and military pressure from Beijing, Taiwan's leaders have leveraged the island's critical role in global technology supply chains, its reputation as a robust liberal democracy, and its strategic position in the Indo-Pacific to deepen engagement with key world powers. As many Americans question core assumptions of the post-Cold War global order, the PRC's military power continues to grow, and the world stands on the cusp of a technological revolution in artificial intelligence, can Taiwan continue to navigate so deftly through turbulent geopolitical waters? To address these topics, the Project on Taiwan in the Indo-Pacific Region at the Hoover Institution held a fireside chat featuring Dr. Hung-mao Tien, President of the Institute for National Policy Research (INPR) in Taipei and a former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan). Dr. Tien joined in conversation by Adm. (Ret.) James O. Ellis, the Annenberg Distinguished Visiting Fellow, and Dr. Larry Diamond, the William L. Clayton Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution.   ABOUT THE SPEAKERS Dr. Hung-mao Tien is the President and Chairman of the Institute for National Policy Research in Taipei, and board member of several foundations and business corporations in Taiwan. He also serves as a Senior Advisor to the President of the Republic of China (Taiwan). From 2000-2002, he was the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He also served as the chairman of the Straits Exchange Foundation, the semi-official body in Taiwan responsible for direct exchanges and dialogue with the People's Republic of China, Representative (ambassador) to the United Kingdom, and presidential advisor to former President Lee Teng-hui.

Bienvenidos a FailAgain, una newsletter / podcast sobre crear contenido y estrategia.Hay una herramienta que lleva semanas rompiendo internet. Y la mayoría de creadores todavía no saben qué hacer con ella.OpenClawA finales de enero, un proyecto open-source llamado OpenClaw (antes Clawdbot) se convirtió en el repositorio de GitHub que más rápido ha crecido en la historia. 209.000 estrellas en semanas. Cobertura en TechCrunch. Un episodio con Lex Fridman. Y al creador, Peter Steinberger, fichado por OpenAI.¿Qué es?Un agente de IA que vive en tu ordenador, se conecta a tus aplicaciones y ejecuta tareas. Solo. Sin que se lo pidas cada vez.La diferencia clave con ChatGPT: ChatGPT te responde. OpenClaw actúa.Le dices qué quieres que haga, cuándo, y con qué herramientas. Y lo hace. Mientras tú estás haciendo otra cosa. O durmiendo.Llevo semanas mirando qué están haciendo los creadores que se han lanzado antes. Me he recorrido Twitter, Reddit, GitHub, y los vídeos de Matthew Berman, que tiene uno de los canales más detallados sobre el tema en inglés. Y he filtrado los que tienen sentido real para alguien que está construyendo su canal y su newsletter, no para un ingeniero con ocho monitores.Aquí van.0. El punto de partida: tu asistente por TelegramAntes de los casos avanzados, hay uno básico que casi todo el mundo monta primero y que ya justifica por sí solo el setup.Conectas OpenClaw a Telegram. A partir de ahí tienes un asistente al que puedes escribirle como si fuera un compañero: “redáctame una estructura de post sobre…”, “busca información sobre ese creador”, “resúmeme este artículo”. Él responde, ejecuta, y te lo manda de vuelta.La diferencia con usar ChatGPT o Claude es que este te conoce muy bien. Sabe en qué trabajas, cuál es tu audiencia, cómo escribes. No hay que explicarle el contexto cada vez. Y si le dices que recuerde algo, lo tiene en cuenta de cara al futuro.Es el punto de entrada. Una vez lo tienes, lo demás es tirar del hilo.1. El investigador de ideas Imagina que ves un artículo interesante. Lo mandas por Telegram con un simple “idea de vídeo”. En los siguientes minutos, OpenClaw hará lo siguiente:* Busca qué está diciendo la gente en Twitter sobre ese tema* Comprueba si ya lo has tratado antes * Te devuelve un briefing completo: título sugerido, concepto de thumbnail, los primeros 30 segundos del vídeo y una estructura por bloques.Lo que antes llevaba una hora de búsquedas y notas, ahora llega en minutos.Para un creador que trabaja solo, esto es brutal. ¿Cuántas veces has visto algo y has pensado “esto podría ser un contenido” pero no te has lanzado a desarrollarlo? 2. El espía semanalCada semana analiza los canales de tu nicho: qué publicaron, qué les funcionó, qué vídeos están despuntando, qué patrones de título están repitiendo.El valor no es solo saber qué hace la competencia. Es hacerlo de forma sistemática, sin que te cueste tiempo. La mayoría de creadores lo hacemos a mano de vez en cuando, que es lo mismo que no hacerlo. Con esto tienes una foto actualizada del terreno cada lunes. Otra vez lo mismo, ideas frescas que vienen a tu puerta.

What if the secrets of a 1968 masterpiece were hiding in plain sight—just waiting for modern color tools to reveal them? We dive into 2001: A Space Odyssey with a forensic eye, exploring how a carefully mastered HDR release lets subtle artifacts surface: matte lines stepping in eight-frame rhythms, hand-painted star fields, and reflections that whisper clues about the set. Instead of diminishing Kubrick's vision, these discoveries deepen our respect for Douglas Trumbull's team and the analog ingenuity that still holds our gaze at 24 frames per second.From there, we pivot to the craft of color as a science. Our guest, Paulo Martins of Alchemy Color, breaks down how to treat your camera like a measurement device. He walks us through building rigorous profiles with thousands of color patches under D50 and tungsten, navigating metameric pitfalls from spiky LEDs, and establishing a dependable baseline inside Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw. Then we get practical with a methodical, 32-bit approach to inverting color negatives—rooted in open-source insights—so the “print-like” result honors the negative without baking in an arbitrary lab look.If you've ever wanted film's character without surrendering control, this conversation maps a path. We talk chart-driven emulations, creating accurate 3D LUTs, and exporting Cineon log for seamless grading in DaVinci Resolve with print film and halation treatments. Whether you're reverse-engineering a spaceship window to glimpse a soundstage or building an end-to-end digital film pipeline for stills and motion, the throughline is the same: use precision to serve the illusion. Tune in, get inspired, and see how curiosity, calibration, and careful workflows can bring the texture of cinema to everyday images.Enjoyed the show?

Prices have risen dramatically, but low rental yields, higher interest rates, taxes, and concentration risk tell a more nuanced story.

How do you build an investment portfolio that isn't at the mercy of a single stock or sector? Diversification is one of the most fundamental principles of long-term investing, helping spread risk across different asset classes and reduce the impact of any one investment losing value. I break down what diversification really means, why simply owning a few “great stocks” isn't a strategy, and how balanced exposure can help you stay invested through ups and downs in the market. To learn why diversification matters for your financial future, tune in now. ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show/id1192234142 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1lePc1pC0giBFV1nzCGsQR ________________________________________________________________ VISIT MY WEBSITE: Website: https://www.aaronkatsman.com/ ________________________________________________________________ CONTACT ME: Email me: aaron@lighthousecapital.co.il ________________________________________________________________ DISCLAIMER: Aaron Katsman is a licensed financial professional both in the U.S. and Israel.

Your image deserves honesty, not “enhancements,” when viewed on a professional display. We sit down with Bram Desmet, CEO of Flanders Scientific, to explore how true reference monitors are built and why that difference matters every time a client asks, “Is this correct?” From ditching mass-market chipsets in favor of custom FPGAs to calibrating each unit individually, Bram lifts the hood on a process designed for one goal: confidence in every pixel.We break down the journey from panel sourcing to firmware, and why QD-OLED is shifting the landscape for colorists and DITs alike. You'll hear how FSI's Gaia Color AutoCal allows you to plug a probe directly into the display, run its own test patches, and map thousands of states from a single master calibration, without a laptop or third-party software. We also dig into the practical wins of QD-OLED: additive RGB for white, exceptional off-axis stability, strong HDR performance, and multiple sizes that make single-monitor rooms a reality.We also talk brightness and the future of reference displays. Is 4,000 nits the sweet spot for HDR grading, or should we be chasing 10,000? Bram shares his thoughts on the creative value of headroom, and why broad QD-OLED adoption across TVs, gaming, phones, and automotive gives this technology real staying power. We chat about the “panel lottery,” FSI's quality-control safeguards, and why every unit ships with verified calibration reports. We also touch on how one accurate display in the finishing suite helps teams focus on creative intent instead of negotiating screen differences.If you care about color accuracy, translation, and saving hours of guesswork, this conversation is for you.

Mary Fusillo is a registered nurse and founder of Family Solutions International, with decades of experience in infertility care, egg donation, surrogacy, and third-party reproduction. Her work focuses on ethical fertility practices, patient advocacy, and helping families navigate complex reproductive decisions with clarity and care. Mary M. Fusillo, RN, BSN, MS is the founder and CEO of Family Solutions International. Mary was introduced to the area of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility while facing her own challenge of having children. As the Clinical Nursing Director of an Infertility clinic in Houston, she was instrumental in starting the Donor Egg program and recruiting their first donors. This program went from one donor in the Fall of 1999 to over 120 in 2004. Moving to the greater Washington, D.C. area, Mary becomes the Clinical Infertility Nursing Director at one of the oldest and most prestigious infertility clinics in the United States. With over 200 cycles of donor egg per year, managing donors and recipients while introducing new recruitment methods was a challenge. Recruited by one of the largest Pharmacy Benefit Management companies to run their Donor Egg pharmacy program, she traveled all over the country, consulting large and small clinics on issues that affect egg donation nationwide. She is a member of the Nurses Professional Group of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, a former National Board Member of RESOLVE, Inc., as well as a member of ASRM and ESHRE. Her volunteer work in the field of infertility led her to found “Donor Moms, a network of support for mothers via egg donation”. In 2007 Mary started The Donor Solution. On August 14, 2007, the website went live, and she started recruiting donors, and the company had its first match in October 2007. She started with only 19 donors but a short time later she had recruited 100's of screened donors to meet a burgeoning need for alternatives to the small donor pools found in IVF clinics.  After feeling like The Donor Solution was doing well, Mary launched 3 Sisters Surrogacy in 2012, because she saw a need for people who needed both donor eggs and surrogacy. In 2018,Mary put The Donor Solution and 3 Sisters Surrogacy under the Family Solutions International umbrella as a bridge to the domestic and international community. In 2020, she started The Fertility Consultants with the mission to assist intended parents in navigating the challenges of 3rd Party reproduction and finally merged all the companies together under the FSI umbrella. In the fall of 2019, Mary started a Ph.D. program in bioethics, over her 25+ years of infertility and 35 years in healthcare, she was constantly confronted with moral and ethical issues. Even now, a single embryo transfer is fraught with issues of people wanting twins. She decided to get her Ph.D. in bioethics because she wanted to understand the ethical aspects of this biological field deeper and felt there needed to be an ethicist who had a very deep background in infertility.

Amb. (ret) Karl Hofmann is CEO of the recently launched Health X Partners (HXP), a parent company under which Population Services International (PSI) and the Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric AID Foundation (EGPAF) now operate. He explains his personal story—from a successful diplomatic path centered in Africa to a pivot and second career as President and CEO of PSI starting in 2007. And he explains the logic by which PSI and EGPAF agreed in 2024 to form HXP to achieve greater efficiencies and prepare prudently for the end of the 25-year era, begun around 2000, that has generated an “amazing chapter of human progress” in health but which, it had become increasingly obvious, would not last indefinitely. As the unforeseen tsunami of Trump 2.0 hit in early 2025, it was both fortuitous and doubly-risky for HXP, as it stood itself up. The new leadership at FSI and EGPAF suddenly had to come to terms with 50% reductions in staff, budgets, and programs, while consolidating and integrating audit, HR, and IT teams. Change had been expected, but it “turned out there was a lot more change” than anticipated. How to view 2026? Profound uncertainty. Yet there is also one clear message to NGO implementers: focus even more on cost effectiveness; and get much closer to needs on the ground, networked and connected to leverage scale and innovation.

The results might challenge everything you thought you knew! From debunking the real estate myth to explaining why sector bets usually backfire, I'll show you the simple strategy that beats trading individual stocks every time. To learn more about building wealth without playing guessing games with your portfolio, tune in to this week's show. ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show/id1192234142 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1lePc1pC0giBFV1nzCGsQR ________________________________________________________________ VISIT MY WEBSITE: Website: https://www.aaronkatsman.com/ ________________________________________________________________ CONTACT ME: Email me: aaron@lighthousecapital.co.il ________________________________________________________________ DISCLAIMER: Aaron Katsman is a licensed financial professional both in the U.S. and Israel.

Ever see a trailer and wonder how the look holds together when the film isn't even finished? We sit down with senior colorist Lynette Duensing to unpack the craft of grading trailers before the final DI is locked, where creative intent, marketing needs, and incomplete VFX all collide under intense timelines. From Spider-Verse to Anaconda, Lynette walks us through the on-the-ground decisions that turn chaos into a cohesive, sellable story.We dig into the real workflow: building node trees around show LUTs and set CDLs, using ACES so filmmakers recognize what they see, and designing parallel structures for embedded mattes to control faces, skies, and complex CG elements. Lynette explains how live VFX reviews work, grading temp comps in the room so notes to vendors are grounded in the final presentation. When a matte is missing, she splits what's available, adds power windows, or taps AI tools to move fast without locking in mistakes. It's part technical precision, part triage, and all driven by trust.The human side matters just as much. Trailers stitch shots that never touch in the feature, so consistency becomes a storytelling tool rather than a constraint. Lynette shares how she communicates with filmmakers and studio creatives to protect intent while ensuring every one-second beat reads with impact. Organization is the quiet hero - conform, version control, and a rock-solid offline reference prevent the misalignments that can sink a session. And yes, we talk about unfinished VFX: how to gently add depth, soften edges, and keep believability intact, knowing studios continue updating shots even after theatrical release.If you care about color grading, trailers, ACES workflows, and the art of running the room, this conversation opens the door to what really happens between editorial and the final DI.

Join us for a conversation with Luke Cahill, a Los Angeles-based colorist whose credits include Icarus, With Love, Meghan, Tangerine, American Murder: The Laci Peterson Story, and the newly released Left-Handed Girl — now streaming on Netflix and selected as Taiwan's official submission for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film.Luke shares how he discovered color grading and the moment the craft truly made sense for him. We talk through his early career, finding confidence in the suite, and how balancing technical skill with emotional awareness is core to the job. From grading Tangerine (shot entirely on an iPhone) to navigating high-pressure documentary schedules, Luke offers an honest look at the realities of finishing at a high level.A key theme of this episode is the human side of color. Luke discusses why colorists are often part technician, part therapist, how to build trust when clients arrive stressed or protective, and why simplicity, balance, and communication often matter more than deep node trees or plugins. We also explore look development, log workflows, and the importance of creating a safe, collaborative space where directors can actually see their film take shape.This episode is full of insight for colorists, cinematographers, editors, and filmmakers who want to understand the craft and psychology of finishing.Guest Links:IG - https://www.instagram.com/lightwavepost/Website - https://www.lightwavepost.com/IMDB - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1760738/Mentioned Work:Left-Handed Girl — Directed by Sean Baker, Streaming on NetflixIcarus — NetflixAmerican Murder: The Laci Peterson Story — NetflixWith Love, Meghan - NetflixTangerine — Directed by Sean BakerSend us a text Flanders Scientific Inc.

In this episode Eric poses to Glenn a Mandela effect question concerning household cleaning products.  After that, the guys celebrate the 4th of July holiday by welcoming their guests from Ireland.  Four fingerprint examiners from Forensic Science Ireland (FSI), the national forensic lab in Ireland, join the podcast.  The guests are Dr. Aoife Power, Dr. Craig Mullen, Mr. Columb Doherty, and Dr. Kim Connick.  Glenn and the guests talk about their time at the recent European Academy of Forensic Science (EAFS) conference in Dublin in May 2025.  The examiners from FSI discuss their research, posters, and presentations from EAFS.  Eric is also curious about their new AFIS system and has lots of questions about their processes.  The guests discuss forensic fingerprint practices in Ireland and especially working in their new national laboratory.

In this episode, John Weir, Dr. Laura Goodman, and Dr. Mark Turner sit down for a laid-back, boots-on-the-ground talk about Forest Stand Improvement (FSI) and how it plays a big role in shaping better wildlife habitats for deer, turkey, and quail—especially right here in Oklahoma. They swap stories and share how FSI differs from Timber Stand Improvement (TSI), and why even folks without marketable timber can still benefit from these management techniques. You'll hear plenty of real-world advice—how to get more sunlight to the forest floor, which trees to keep or cut, and what tools make the job easier (spoiler: PlantNet and iNaturalist apps get some love). They also dig into strategies like girdling, hinge cutting, and selective herbicide use. And of course, no land management talk would be complete without prescribed fire. It's not just about burning—it's about building a better future for your land. Resources - OkState Range & Pasture Plant ID - PlantNet - iNaturalist
