Today, we're discussing the tragic murder of Austin Metcalf — a case that's not just heartbreaking but deeply revealing of a larger cultural crisis we need to address head-on. I'll be sharing my raw thoughts on what happened, and more importantly, having the uncomfortable (but necessary) conversation surrounding crime statistics in the black community.If we're ever going to see real change — fewer senseless killings, safer neighborhoods, and stronger families — then we have to stop tiptoeing around the truth. It's time to talk about why these patterns keep repeating and what cultural shifts must happen to break the toxic and deadly cycle.This isn't about hate — it's about accountability, truth, and the fight for life, stability, and genuine justice.—https://policecoffee.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACG7qmLTSF8TidU6uJpGkHMYzxsnd&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqcO_BhDaARIsACz62vPh4GA_6w_PdX8w4PW0sRhPD76KOyhYBmiEOdpiLXHP1G10c9kaPMEaAkK-EALw_wcB

In this episode, Chris and Dorge continue with the Science of Arrow Flight Series, focusing on the evolution and characteristics of micro diameter shafts, particularly the .166 arrow. They discuss the historical context, manufacturing challenges, and the implications of using such thin arrows in archery. The conversation also covers the structural integrity of these arrows, the importance of inserts and outserts, and the techniques required for fletching and gluing. Throughout the discussion, they emphasize the need for precision and understanding of the materials involved in arrow construction. In this conversation, Dorge and Chris delve into the intricacies of arrow construction, focusing on the impact of glue variance, arrow diameter, weight distribution, and the challenges posed by inserts and outserts. They explore innovative solutions for arrow design, the physics of arrow flight dynamics, and the implications of MicroFlex on accuracy. The discussion culminates in the introduction of the Arrow Concept, emphasizing the importance of glue in enhancing arrow performance and consistency. In this conversation, Dorge and Chris delve into innovative arrow design, discussing the importance of flexibility and structural changes in archery. They introduce the Stalker system, a revolutionary approach that eliminates traditional threading in arrows, enhancing performance. The discussion also covers the dynamics of arrow efficiency, particularly comparing the .166, .204, and .246 arrow classes, and the impact of environmental factors on deer behavior. Finally, they provide practical advice for building the perfect arrow setup, emphasizing the balance between cost and performance. Takeaways: The 166 arrow is not a micro diameter but a target archery size. Micro diameter shafts have specific applications in archery. Manufacturing challenges arise from the thinness of the 166 arrow. Inserts and outserts play a crucial role in arrow performance. The structural integrity of thin arrows is a significant concern. Fletching techniques must adapt to the smaller diameter of arrows. Precision in arrow building is essential for performance. The history of arrow materials influences current designs. Understanding the characteristics of arrows can prevent misuse. Innovative designs can enhance the functionality of thin arrows.  There is a significant variance in glue weight used in arrow construction. Thinner arrows have a more pronounced effect on performance due to their diameter. Weight distribution is crucial for arrow balance and flight accuracy. Inserts and outserts can create challenges in arrow performance. Innovative designs can alleviate common issues in arrow construction. Understanding the physics of arrow flight is essential for optimal performance. MicroFlex can negatively impact arrow accuracy, especially at close ranges. Building effective arrows requires careful consideration of materials and design. The Arrow Concept enhances arrow performance by addressing flex and consistency issues. The glue used in arrow construction plays a critical role in overall performance.  Innovative arrow design can significantly enhance performance. Changing the spine of the shaft improves arrow flexibility. The Stalker system revolutionizes traditional arrow threading. Understanding arrow dynamics is crucial for effective hunting. The 166 arrow can be made efficient with the right setup. Environmental factors like ambient light affect deer behavior. Building arrows requires careful consideration of materials and design. The thinner the arrow, the more challenging the build process. Success in archery is a commitment to quality and precision. Practical bow setups can lead to better hunting outcomes.

Hilary is here to break down why over-functioning is actually a trap—for you and everyone around you.

When it comes to buying property, many people think due diligence is just checking if the house looks nice or if the price feels right. But the reality is, it runs way deeper than that. In this episode, we take you through our 109-point due diligence checklist—yes, 109 points—and share what really goes into properly evaluating a property. We dig into why so many buyers, and even some buyers’ agents, miss crucial details that can lead to expensive regrets. From spotting dodgy renovations and unapproved works to reading contracts carefully, we show that it’s not just about ticking boxes—it’s about genuinely understanding the risks and avoiding mistakes that could haunt you later. If you think you can skip a few steps and still be fine, think again. We share real-world examples of how people have been burned by “hot market blindness” and the dangers of rushing through due diligence. Our goal is to help you buy with your eyes wide open, so you’re not left asking, “Why didn’t anyone tell me that?” down the track.

Send Krystal a Text Message.What does it take to create 500 podcast episodes? Beyond the microphone setup and editing software, there's a deeply personal journey filled with unexpected twists, hard-earned wisdom, and surprising revelations about what truly matters in content creation.When I pressed record on episode one in 2018, I was obsessed with download numbers and convinced I'd hit one million downloads within my first year. Looking back from the perspective of 1,514 total episodes produced across all my shows, I can't help but smile at that naive ambition. The real milestone wasn't reaching a specific download count—it was the first time I received a review from someone I didn't know, seeing listeners appear in locations across the globe where I had no personal connections.The business side of podcasting has been equally eye-opening. My first monetization attempt wasn't through massive sponsorship deals but a humble $50 coaching call with my first client, Rachel. I've had spectacular failures, too, like my membership program "Poddy People," which I ended up refunding entirely because it wasn't structured properly. Yet these stumbles led to some of my greatest successes—affiliate partnerships worth tens of thousands of dollars and a thriving Podcasters Connect community that fuels my passion daily.Perhaps my most valuable lesson has been that podcasting is no longer an audio-only medium. Today's listeners want options—audio episodes for their commute, video versions on YouTube, short clips on social media, and comprehensive show notes. This multi-format approach not only serves your audience better but dramatically increases your monetization opportunities as brands recognize your expanded reach.As we launch our new digital product store in the coming weeks with accessible templates and tools specifically for podcasters, I'm setting my sights on the next 500 episodes with ambitious plans to interview industry leaders and continue growing this incredible community. Whether you're just starting out or hundreds of episodes in, remember that podcasting is a long game—but with the right mindset and strategies, each episode brings you closer to creating something truly meaningful that connects with people around the world.Click the "Send Krystal a Text Message" link above to send us your questions, comments, and feedback on the show!

In this episode of CLIPPED, Eric's breaking down the ten thousand hour rule and why so many agency owners, freelancers, and online coaches struggle to find success. If you're not seeing results, it might be because you haven't put in the reps—yet. This episode dives into what the 10,000-hour rule really means, how mastery requires time and effort, and why so many people try to skip the hard work. Eric also shares his own 10,000-hour journey—from running errands at recording studios to building a podcast production company. By the end of this episode, you'll understand why cutting corners leads to failure and what you need to do to actually get good at your craft. A Word From Our Sponsor: This podcast is sponsored by Riverside.fm—my favorite platform for recording high-quality remote podcasts and videos.

Try it out at Riverside.fm and enter promo code CLIPPED for 20% off. The 10,000-Hour Rule: Key Takeaways What is the 10,000-Hour Rule? Popularized by Malcolm Gladwell, this concept suggests that true mastery takes at least 10,000 hours of deliberate practice. Becoming great at something requires repetition, failure, and continuous learning. Professionals don't cut corners—they put in the work and develop real expertise. Why Are Agency Owners and Coaches Struggling? Lack of Real Skills: Many jump into business without actually mastering a craft. Selling Theory, Not Experience: Too many coaches sell courses or strategies they've never implemented themselves. Shortcut Mentality: AI tools and quick hacks can't replace the years of experience needed to develop true expertise. Eric's 10,000-Hour Journey in Audio Started interning at 17 Hertz Studios in North Hollywood—running errands, setting up mics, and learning the ropes. Worked at Paramount Recording Studios, recording, editing, and getting yelled at (a lot). Transitioned to podcasting in 2015, building The Podcast Haven from the ground up. Cold-emailed hundreds of podcasters, landed clients like Kimberly Snyder and Paychecks & Balances, and grew a sustainable business through years of hard work. How to Actually Get Good at Something Do the work before you sell the solution—learn by doing, not by theory. Master the tools of your industry—whether it's Pro Tools, Google Ads, or video editing software. Go through the struggle—get used to high-pressure situations, criticism, and iteration. Test, fail, refine, repeat—real mastery comes from constant improvement over time. Listen To Past Podcast Episodes: How To Record a Video Podcast On Your iPhone: Easily Podcast In 4K!
