In this episode of The Offset Podcast we're asking & discussing the question - Is HDR really taking off?At first blush, the answer is yes, but the really, the answer is decidedly more nuanced.  Specifics discussed in this episode include:HDR seems to be everywhere - streaming platforms, consumer electronics, professional gear with billions made in investmentWhile wildly available, access to HDR content is still often based on  ‘level' of plan. Disconnect for consumers between HDR capable hardware and plansThe role the iPhone has played in helping spread HDRAlthough available & accessible, HDR is still widely weighted to the ‘higher end'.  Mid and entry level productions aren't utilizing HDR. Why? And how can that change?The language of HDR has become conservative and very similar to SDR versions making differentiation harderA safe approach to HDR may be tied to derived downstream HDR and SDR performance.   Investment in expensive gear (reference monitoring) for what many see as niche is also a contributing factorHow to sell and consistency in selling HDR content is importantMany feel that HDR is something that is being dictated to them…but for technical not creative reasonsImportant to remember HDR technology and workflows are still relatively newStunning HDR content does exist and shows what can be done (Ian Vertovec examples)Given artists space and time to work on HDR can produce amazing resultsIf you like the show be sure to like and subscribe where ever you find The Offset Podcast

Indiana. We made our first batch in a 5 gallon plastic bucket and distilled it in a still made from an old kitchen sink. At the time, Indiana was considering allowing distilleries to function like their brewery and winery counterparts with rights sell directly to the public. We began constructing and licensing a distillery in that barn with plans for it to be a farm distillery open to the public for tastings.change of plansThe barn space didn't work out, but we kept our passion alive by continuing to build our distilling knowledge, engineering new equipment, and searching for a new location to house the distillery.NowDistillery 64 is now open to the public for tastings, cocktails and well mannered frivolity at our industrial location in New Albany.

How can schools move beyond crisis response to prevention in mental health? In this episode, Dr. Hayley Watson, a clinical psychologist from Open Parachute, discusses comprehensive approaches to mental health education in schools. She emphasizes the importance of preventative mental health skills and making these resources accessible to entire school communities. Key points include:The value of having teachers, rather than just counselors, deliver mental health lessons to ensure better carryover and create a shared language across the schoolPractical advice for school leaders on implementing mental health initiatives, including starting slow, getting teacher buy-in, and developing long-term (5-10 year) plansThe importance of whole-school approaches that include all staff members, from teachers to playground monitorsStrategies for supporting both student and teacher mental health, including the crucial role of leadership in modeling healthy boundaries and self-careTips for measuring program effectiveness by focusing on skill development rather than emotional statesThe necessity of viewing mental health education as a long-term investment, even when immediate results aren't visibleDr. Watson emphasizes that while schools can't control all stressors students face, they can equip them with the tools needed to navigate challenges effectively. She encourages educators to "overprepare" students with mental health skills rather than hoping problems won't arise, comparing it to teaching driving skills before putting someone behind the wheel.Click HERE to learn more about Open Parachute.Click HERE to find Dr. Hayley Watson on Linkedin. Connect with Barb on Linkedin HERE.Check out Barb's Instagram @BarbFlowersCoaching HERE for more tips and strategies!Sign up HERE for a FREE Consultation and learn more about how I can help you with one-on-one coaching.Tired of second-guessing your decisions as a principal?

Welcome to another exciting episode of the Capitalist Investor! In this week's conversation, your favorite co-hosts, Diamond Hands D and Luke Lloyd, dive into a mix of personal updates and prominent economic trends. Below, we've summarized the five hot topics from this episode, where discussions spanned from holiday festivities to the stock market highs, providing keen insights for investors everywhere.1. Holiday Reflections: Thanksgiving and New Year's PlansThe episode kicks off on a lighter note, with Diamond Hands D and Luke Lloyd sharing their Thanksgiving experiences. Luke mentions gaining some holiday weight and gearing up for his honeymoon, setting a warm, relatable tone. They also discuss the upcoming New Year's Eve plans, particularly Luke Lloyd's unique celebration at the Walleye Drop in Port Clinton, Ohio, where a 100-foot glass walleye is dropped to mark the new year. This reflection underscores the balance of personal and professional lives, reminding listeners that even investors take time to celebrate.2. Black Friday and Cyber Monday Sales AnalysisA significant portion of the discussion centers around the record-breaking sales observed during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Luke Lloyd highlights that Black Friday sales hit around $10 billion, marking a 10% increase from the previous year. Similarly, Cyber Monday saw a 7% increase, reaching around $13 billion. Despite these impressive numbers, overall holiday sales are only projected to be 3% higher than last year, mainly due to inflation. This indicates that while spending trends appear robust, the broader economic context is more nuanced.3. Wealth Effect and Market SentimentAnother noteworthy point of discussion is the "wealth effect" and how market sentiment influences consumer behavior. Diamond Hands D and Luke Lloyd observe that positive market trends, such as a booming stock market and rising cryptocurrency values, can boost consumer confidence, leading to increased spending. This phenomenon underscores how psychological factors play a significant role in economic activities, suggesting that investors keep an eye on broader sentiment to gauge market movements.4. The Controversy of Politicians' Stock PortfoliosThe episode also delves into a controversial topic: the impressive stock market returns achieved by politicians, notably Nancy Pelosi. The co-hosts question whether these returns could be attributed to potential insider trading, given that some politicians are outperforming investment icons like Warren Buffett. They mention examples like Nancy Pelosi's substantial gains from call options on Nvidia and discuss how such activities raise ethical and legal questions. The conversation hints at a need for greater scrutiny and possibly regulation in how politicians trade stocks.5. Market Predictions for the Coming MonthsThe episode wraps up with predictions for the market trajectory in early 2025. Luke Lloyd predicts a so-called "Santa Claus rally," where markets may see upward momentum into the holiday season, but advises caution for January. He anticipates that January might witness a decline due to profit-taking and the diminishing post-holiday optimism. This forward-looking analysis helps investors prepare for potential market adjustments early in the year.ConclusionFrom personal anecdotes to in-depth market analysis, this episode of the Capitalist Investor offers a well-rounded discussion on timely topics relevant to both novice and seasoned investors. As always, the hosts encourage listeners to stay informed and engaged, underscoring the podcast's educational mission. Be sure to tune in to the next episode for more insights and updates on the economic landscape.

We took a mini-break (and you KNOW we needed it) but we're back, and today we're tackling the sacred cow of financial planning: BUY AND HOLD. Let's face it, investing isn't a spectator sport and the pandemic proved that even the most "set-it-and-forget-it" advice can get messy. Plus research shows investors are holding stocks for less time than ever before. So this week, we're asking if the classic "buy and hold" strategy is still the cornerstone of financial wisdom, or has the rise of day trading, sports betting, and cryptocurrencies rendered it obsolete? Don't expect simple answers, because investor psychology isn't that simple, but we promise some surprisingly insightful takeawaysWe explore:Why “buy and hold” is the American way and what that means in the era of instant notifications and market fluctuationsHow the emotional and psychological realities of modern life challenge even the most well-laid financial plansThe rise of “bro-conomy” investing, and why the appeal of day trading and sports betting is harder to resistHow to use robo-advisors to tame your inner FOMO without losing your shirt (or your retirement funds)The importance of financial literacy and diversification, beyond the simplistic "buy and hold" mantraA peek behind the curtain into our own HSA investment strategy and a warning about the illusion of easy winsLinks:The Three Pillars of the Bro-Economy via The Atlantic Episode 171: Why you need a brokerage account  Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.

On today's podcast episode, we start a new series all about vision. Here in part one, I talk about “God-inspired Vision," focusing on understanding what a God-inspired vision truly is. A God-inspired vision is a supernatural revelation or insight into God's purpose for your life, going beyond personal ambitions and aligning with His will and plans. A God-inspired vision is rooted in prayer and scripture, aligns with God's overarching plans, and is empowered by faith. As you listen to today's episode, reflect on your current life and identify areas where you need to seek God's vision, dedicate regular time for prayer and scripture to seek clarity and document any thoughts or revelations during these times.Highlights of this episode: Explanation of a God-inspired vision as a divine revelation aligning with God's will and plansThe importance of a clear, God-given direction Seeking God's guidance through consistent prayer and study of His wordReflecting on God's overarching plans for your life and His kingdomTrusting in God's timing and provisionDocumentation of the vision and trusting in its appointed timeGod's plan revealed to Moses to lead the Israelites out of EgyptNehemiah's vision to rebuild the walls of JerusalemGod's intentional and beneficial plansClarity and guidance in understanding God's vision
