What if you could build your reptile enclosure before spending a single dollar? In this episode, I sit down with Daniel Wilson, creator of CritterCAD, a 3D vivarium design platform that helps keepers design naturalistic enclosures, experiment with layouts, and evaluate their husbandry using a species-specific CARE score. We discuss how the software was built, the challenges of turning husbandry into a digital tool, the role of community-driven care information, and where CritterCAD is headed next. Whether you're planning your next enclosure or just love innovative reptile-keeping tools, this is an episode you won't want to miss.SHOW NOTES: https://www.animalsathomenetwork.com/254-crittercad/SPONSORS: Visit The BioDude: https://www.thebiodude.com/ Visit Zoo Med Labs here: https://zoomed.com/JOIN US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/animalsathomeLINKS FROM THE EPISODE:CritterCAD: https://www.crittercad.com/ https://www.instagram.com/crittercad/Photos and Video in Episode:Provided by Daniel Wilson0:00 Intro3:40 Welcome Daniel & Background11:11 Career & Education 13:16 Intro to CritterCAD31:29 Live CritterCAD Demo and picking enclosure40:11 Substrate57:48 Backgrounds1:03:42 Lighting 1:10:45 Generating a Shopping list1:12:45 Plants & Adding the Animal1:16:28 Care Score1:26:00 Adding Custom 3D Assests1:38:00 Final Words on CritterCAD1:41:50 Outro

Foster + Partners Shares Real-World AI Lessons at IALD IALD: Four Women Open Up About the Business of Lighting Design Supply Chain Simplicity: Introducing 120v-480v LytePod: Charles Stone on What Designers Get Wrong About Money After 40 Years

In this mid summer check-in, Steve and Nick reunite after a hectic few weeks of weddings, travel, house moves and an ill-advised afternoon involving several IPAs and very little food. The conversation covers recent wedding adventures, working together as photographers for the first time, thoughts on new camera gear, and a completely unscientific "Photography World Cup" to crown the best camera of 2026. In This EpisodeThe London Meet-Up That Went Slightly WrongSteve and Nick finally meet up in person . What starts as a sensible plan for a quick drink after a London wedding quickly escalates into a cautionary tale involving multiple pints, a tube journey that went round in circles, and a desperate dash for the last train home. Shooting a Wedding TogetherThe pair reflect on photographing a wedding together for the first time after Samantha was forced to step back due to illness. They discuss: Different shooting styles and approaches  The benefits of second shooting  Creative freedom versus lead photographer responsibility  Lighting setups and dancefloor photography  Learning new techniques from another experienced photographer Wedding Season and Life UpdatesNick shares an update on his imminent house move, while both discuss the reality of balancing busy wedding seasons with family life, editing workloads and running photography businesses. Gear TalkThe discussion turns to camera equipment, including: The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 and rumours of a Pocket 4 Pro  Using crop mode on high-resolution Sony cameras  Whether 61MP sensors can replace multiple focal lengths  The continuing appeal of compact cameras  Why neither host has bought much new gear recently (apart from Steve buying a Toyota) The Photography Pod World Cup 2026Inspired by the football World Cup, Steve and Nick create a knockout tournament featuring some of photography's biggest camera names: Canon 5D Mark IV  Nikon D850  Fuji X-T5  Fuji X100VI  Canon R5 Mark II  Sony A1 Mark II After a series of highly questionable comparisons and football analogies, a surprise winner emerges. The result says more about how photographers actually enjoy taking photographs than it does about technical specifications.  A Walk and a PintSteve reveals plans for a new YouTube project combining local walks, photography, pubs and storytelling. The concept is simple: start at a pub, head out for a walk, explore the local area, then return for a well-earned pint. Nick immediately volunteers to be a guest. What's Next?The Photography Pod will return properly in the autumn once wedding season calms down. Future plans include: More regular episodes  Guest interviews  Listener meet-ups  Street photography outings  Greater community involvement  More YouTube content Links & Mentions DJI Osmo Pocket 4  Sony A1 II  Canon R5 II  Fujifilm X100VI  A Walk and a Pint (coming soon) Enjoying the Show?If you enjoy The Photography Pod, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify and subscribe so you don't miss future episodes when the show returns in the autumn. The Photography Pod – Real conversations about photography, weddings, gear and the realities of being a working photographer.Support the showThe Photography Pod is twice monthly photography podcast for both working professionals and enthusiast photographers.

Everyone knows video is king. We see entrepreneurs building audiences, creating authority, and turning simple videos into leads, sales, and loyal customers. Yet behind the scenes, many business owners are fighting the same battle… overthinking every word, dreading the editing process, and waiting for their videos to be "perfect" before they ever hit publish.In this episode of the Marketing Boost Solutions Podcast, Capt. Marco Torres sits down with bestselling author, film producer, movement builder, and OneTake AI CEO Sébastien Night to uncover the real bottleneck keeping entrepreneurs invisible; and how AI is helping eliminate the friction between your expertise and the people who need to hear it.From overcoming perfectionism and simplifying content creation to using video to build trust, nurture relationships, and generate real business growth, this conversation is packed with practical strategies every entrepreneur can apply immediately. Because the businesses winning today aren't necessarily the smartest, the loudest, or the most polished. They're the ones willing to take action before everything feels perfect.

In this episode we explain what is needed and what your options are for adding Ciro lighting to your 2024 and newer Harley-Davidson touring model with the new IFCU infotainment system.  If you own a 2024 or newer Harley-Davidson touring motorcycle and you're looking to upgrade your rear lighting, it's important to understand how the Ciro lighting system works before you start buying parts. Harley's newer electrical architecture changed the game, and that means riders need to know which components are required, how the different products connect, and what options are available for basic or advanced functionality. We break down exactly how Ciro lighting for Harley-Davidson motorcycles works, what products are needed, and how to choose the right setup for your bike. We'll also highlight the individual Ciro products discussed in the video so you can easily link them to the Law Abiding Biker Store. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The 2024 and newer Harley-Davidson touring models introduced major changes to the bike's electrical system. Because of those updates, adding aftermarket lights is not as simple as it was on previous Harley-Davidson models. That is why riders need to understand the Ciro system before purchasing. The good news is that Ciro engineered a clean, plug-and-play style solution that works with these newer Harley touring bikes. Once you understand the system, it becomes much easier to plan your lighting build and choose the right components the first time. If you are adding Harley-Davidson rear lighting, improving visibility, cleaning up the rear of the bike, or building a custom look, this guide will help you avoid confusion and get the setup you actually want. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! The most important thing to understand is that your first Ciro lighting purchase determines how your system will function moving forward. When adding Ciro lights to a 2024+ Harley-Davidson touring bike, you generally need to choose between: Ciro Lightstrike Commander Ciro Standard Adapter That first decision matters because it determines whether you'll have only basic lighting functionality or full app-based customization and expandability. If you are building out a lighting package for your Harley, this is the foundation of the entire system. The Ciro Lightstrike Commander is the advanced option and is often the best choice for riders who want a more customizable setup. This component acts like the brain of the lighting system. It allows your Ciro lights to integrate with the bike while also unlocking the Ciro Lightstrike app. With the app, you can access more advanced functionality and customize supported lighting products individually. That means the Ciro Lightstrike Commander for Harley-Davidson gives you more than simple run, turn, and brake lighting. It opens up added control over supported lighting features, light behavior, and customization options depending on the products installed on your motorcycle. If you think you may add more Ciro products in the future, the Lightstrike Commander is a smart long-term investment because you only need to buy it once.

Clean fit, quality finish, and customer service that actually answers. We run their gear on our own Harleys because we trust it. The Ciro Standard Adapter is the simpler route for riders who want straightforward lighting without app control or advanced programming and it comes standard within the lighting kits.  If you choose the standard adapter, your supported Ciro lights will provide basic run, turn, and brake functionality. For many riders, that may be enough. If your goal is simply to add visibility and a cleaner rear lighting appearance on your Harley-Davidson, this option can work very well. However, it is important to understand what you are not getting. The standard adapter does not provide access to the app-based Lightstrike features. So if you want greater flexibility, deeper customization, or plan to build a more elaborate lighting system later, the Lightstrike New Patrons: Nick Jackson of Gillette, Wyoming (Patron Member Gary Jackson's son) Tolleigh Capps of New Market, Tennessee Chris Derr of Greenville, Ohio If you are trying to decide which Ciro components to buy, think about your long-term goals for the bike. If you only want basic run, turn, and brake lighting, then the Ciro Standard Adapter may be enough and it's included in the Ciro lighting kits. If you want app-based control, added customization, then the Ciro Lightstrike Commander is the better choice. If you want one of the easiest starting points, the Ciro Filler Panel Lights are especially appealing because they can work in a basic plug-and-play fashion while still allowing for future Lightstrike integration. That is why understanding the system first is so important. It helps you spend money once, buy the right parts, and build your Harley lighting system the way you actually want it.

“Our brain really prioritizes vocal signals. They're super important to the brain because human communication is a really big priority for us as a species. It's a deep signal in our brain, right? And so, we were seeing a stronger reaction to the screams than to the music, and that sort of makes sense. There were more intricacies to that, but I can't really remember the exact brain areas and all that. But it was cool to see that. Yeah, it is sort of mimicking, but our brain really separates them. You know, it may still get sort of a response, a same kind of fearful response, but it's not going to be as powerful as the voice, um, which makes sense because music is not real, right? There's a difference between a real stimulus and this sort of artistic one. Yeah, so it was interesting.” – Caitlyn TrevorThis episode's guest is an award-winning researcher and musician with over a decade of experience studying how people perceive and respond to sound.

I would so appreciate that.(00:00) – Lighting a Musical FireOur conversation starts with Caitlyn's early impressions of sound, particularly the moment that sparked her love of orchestral music. “I came across on the floor like a little cassette tape and a cassette player, and I popped it in and just hit play while we were chatting, and it was the Lord of the Rings soundtrack,” she recalls. “I was a little too young when it came out, the first one, and I was just captivated by it. I mean, I was like, ‘Wow, what is this?'” We discuss the chance encounter during her musical studies that turned her focus towards music cognition and the neuroscience behind sound. “There was a lecture I went to totally by chance,” she tells us. “It was a new music theory professor, and the lecture was about music cognition, and I had never heard of it before. And I was like, ‘This is just the coolest field I've ever heard of.' And I totally was on board after that.”(15:00) – Pianto Sighs and Psycho ViolinsOur discussion turns to her research on the connection between music and the brain's primal response to voices. “In sad music,” Caitlyn explains, “there's something called the pianto topic, which is essentially just a half-step falling motion, like, which is supposed to mimic a sigh. But, you know, that's quite abstract… Whereas the psycho violin, you know, sounds very much like a scream.” She tells us about the birth of her daughter and how her career shifted from academia to the private sector. “I think a lot of academics are scared that's going to happen, that it's going to feel like, I don't know, maybe they wasted all that time,” she says. “I was prepared that I may not be able to continue doing music cognition, and I'm very happy that that hasn't been the case. That was surprising.”(21:40) – Putting Audio Theory to PracticeCaitlyn tells us more about her work on UX research, and how it quickly and unexpectedly led to her focus on phone trees and hold-time experiences. “They hadn't thought about the phone tree for that,” she recalls. “They just mentioned it, like, ‘Oh, and we're also doing the phone tree and the on-hold music.' And I was like, ‘Wait, that would be great for me to work on… somebody needs to do UX on that [because[ it's the worst.'" She talks about the advantage of being able to put her findings to use, something that hadn't been so easy at the university. “What I like about my new position,” Caitlyn explains, “as opposed to working in academia, is synthesizing it in a way that's accessible… I never really did that in academia. It was always just about supporting your hypothesis, explaining the results. But now I get to say this research shows me that we should compose it this way.”Episode SummaryCaitlin shares her journey from Lord of the Rings to the science of sound.The evolutionary origins of music and its impact on the brain.Caitlin's work in UX research and creating a better phone-hold experience.Tune in for next week's episode as we discuss the results of Caitlyn's studies into on-hold UX design and phone trees, why unpleasant sounds are sometimes the better choice in automobile UX, and what she's learned about the long-term return on investment when it comes to sonic branding.Connect with the Audio Branding Podcast:Book your project with Voice Overs and Vocals by visiting https://voiceoversandvocals.comConnect with me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jodikrangle/Watch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding (Thank you!)Share your passion effectively with these Tips for Sounding Your Best as a Podcast Guest!https://voiceoversandvocals.com/tips-for-sounding-your-best-as-a-podcast-guest/Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an Intentional Audio Strategyhttps://voiceoversandvocals.com/audio-branding-strategy/Editing/Production by Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

We are thrilled to welcome British interior designer Abigail Ahern to the podcast! Known for breaking all the traditional design rules, Abigail is famous for her signature moody palettes, her bold take on botanicals, and her wildly popular faux floral collection. In addition to her booming interior design business, she has an e-commerce site, five books, and a popular YouTube channel. Abigail sits down with Caroline, Taryn, and Liz to discuss how she got her start working on the picture desk for Sir Terence Conran before her husband's job relocated them to Detroit, unexpectedly launching her hands-on interior design career. She shares her secrets for styling faux florals so they look incredibly authentic, why she will always champion a dark and moody room, and why lighting is the single most important element of any dinner party. Quick Decorating Takeaways: Don't Be Afraid of the Dark: Abigail dispels the common misconception that dark paint makes a room feel smaller. She embraces dark, moody palettes because the deep colors actually blur the edges of a room, creating a cozy, enveloping, and sophisticated space. The Secret to Faux Florals: When styling her famous faux stems, Abigail approaches arrangements with an interior design mindset. She recommends mixing contrasting textures (like pairing a delicate rose with a hearty hydrangea), varying the heights of the stems in your vase, and bending them so they don't just stand straight up. You don't have to be super delicate with them—the goal is to make the arrangement feel wild, organic, and intriguing. Lighting is Everything: For Abigail, the lighting at a dinner party is even more important than the menu. She recommends layering lights at different heights around the room and using tea light holders all over the house to create an inviting, multi-dimensional glow that makes everyone feel relaxed.

What if the most powerful evidence in a personal injury case isn't a medical report or an expert opinion, but the story told by the people who watched someone's life change forever? Board-Certified Truck Accident Attorney David Craig sits down with Bobby Craig of Impact Video to pull back the curtain on settlement documentaries and explain why they've become one of the most effective tools in serious injury and wrongful death cases.In this episode of After the Crash, David and Bobby break down exactly what goes into creating a settlement documentary, from the initial planning meetings with the legal team all the way through interviews, editing, and final delivery. Bobby Craig, co-owner of Impact Video, has produced hundreds of these documentaries for law firms across the country. He got his start working alongside David at Craig, Kelley & Faultless, where he learned firsthand how telling a client's story with the right approach can fundamentally shift how a case is evaluated by insurance adjusters, defense attorneys, and claims decision-makers.✔️ What a settlement documentary is and how it differs from a standard legal video✔️ Why before-and-after witnesses often matter more than medical records alone✔️ How a passionate expert on camera can transform a case's perceived value✔️ The role of music, lighting, editing, and B-roll in communicating real emotion without exaggeration✔️ Why defense lawyers have directly told David that settlement videos change how they evaluate casesDavid Craig is one of the few attorneys in the U.S. who is Board-Certified in Truck Accident Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, accredited by the American Bar Association. With 39+ years handling semi-truck wreck cases and catastrophic injury claims, David brings a depth of experience that shapes every part of how his firm prepares a case, including the decision of when and how to invest in a settlement documentary. That experience is exactly why a defense attorney once told David, off the record, to keep making these videos because they genuinely shift how claims professionals assess a case.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Todd Kroupa A former firefighter turned top-producing real estate agent in Georgia. Todd explains his journey from a physically demanding fire department career to becoming a highly successful real estate broker, team leader, and luxury/equestrian property specialist. The conversation walks through: His transition from the fire service to real estate Opening and managing a 400‑agent office in Florida Relocating to Georgia and re-establishing his business How he advises both first-time homebuyers and experienced sellers Emotional decision-making in buying and selling Inspections, deal-breakers, and buyer/seller behavior Multi-generational housing trends post‑COVID Why real estate remains a wealth-building tool Advice for navigating neighborhoods, schools, and due diligence His eventual ranking as #1 single agent for Berkshire Hathaway in Georgia (2024–2025) Todd emphasizes integrity, long-term relationships, and guiding clients toward the right house — not just closing a deal. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of Todd Kroupa’s appearance is to: Share a motivational career-change story — moving from firefighter to top real estate agent. Educate listeners on the real estate process — including buying, selling, inspections, and market strategy. Give practical tips for first-time homebuyers, families, and multi-generational households. Promote best practices for choosing neighborhoods, navigating emotion in home buying, and avoiding pitfalls. Highlight Todd’s success and position him as a trusted resource for Georgia real estate clients. Key Takeaways 1. Career Transition & Motivation Todd became a firefighter in 1992, retired in 2014, and began real estate in 2002. Real estate appealed to him because it allowed him to continue helping people without the physical strain. He built and managed a 400-agent office before returning to working directly with clients — his true passion. 2. Balancing Firefighting and Real Estate He often worked both jobs full-time, with limited days off. Eventually, maintaining both became impossible: “I can’t do this anymore,” he told his wife. 3. Buyer Advice Buyers make decisions emotionally first, then logically. Within the first 3–5 minutes in a home, buyers often know if they like it. Lighting, paint color, home condition, and layout heavily influence emotional response. First-time buyers need extra guidance — like “teaching someone to drive for the first time.” 4. Seller Advice Selling isn’t just about market timing — presentation matters. Neutral paint colors and bright white lighting help increase buyer appeal. Every showing is won or lost in the first few minutes. 5. Inspections Matter — and Are Deal Breakers Top inspection walk‑aways: Mold Foundation issues Roof problemsTodd stresses that if a buyer is uncomfortable before closing, “you won’t be comfortable after you close.” 6. Emotion vs. Logic Many buyers get emotionally attached and ignore red flags. Todd’s rule: commissions should never drive decisions. 7. Multi-Generational Living Is Rising Driven by COVID, high child-care costs, rising home prices. Families are choosing: ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) “In-law suites” Larger family compounds 8. Real Estate as a Wealth Builder Unlike stock investments, real estate allows you to: Control, improve, alter, and live in the asset. Tax advantages like 1031 exchanges and mortgage deductions compound long-term value. 9. Don’t Buy the Most Expensive House in the Neighborhood Surrounding homes cap your resale value. You may have to wait years for nearby homes to “catch up.” 10. Neighborhood Due Diligence Realtors must avoid discrimination (Fair Housing Act). Buyers should: Visit neighborhoods at night and on weekends Speak with neighbors Review school ratings and county resources Notable Quotes (from the transcript) Career & Purpose “I love helping people. That’s why I became a fireman. Real estate was another way to help people.” “I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to manage long term… my heart was with clients.” Ethics & Commission “Commissions should never be above the people.” “If you’re focused on commissions, you need to pick a different industry.” Emotions in Home Buying “Buyers think they’re looking logically, but they’re looking emotionally first.” “Within the first 3–5 minutes, they already know if they like the home.” Inspections “If you’re not comfortable with the property now, you won’t be comfortable after you close.” Neighborhood Choice “Focus on the house, but look at the neighborhood — you can’t change your neighbors.” Wealth Building “With stocks you can’t control it, improve it, or live in it. With a home, you can.” Success & Determination “Someone told me when I moved to Georgia I wasn’t going to make it. Now I’m the number one salesperson in Georgia.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
