In Episode 204 of Dividend Talk, titled "How Our Savings Rate Evolved Over Time," we dive deep into the journey of personal savings rates. We begin by reflecting on our initial savings rates and how they have shaped our investment strategies over the years. From managing lifestyle inflation to grappling with the concept of not living like students anymore, we discuss the practical challenges of maintaining a healthy savings discipline amidst life's changing financial demands. Our discussion extends to the assumptions we make about future expenses and how these impact our long-term financial planning. We share our experiences with income fluctuations and how they have influenced our ability to save consistently. In our Portfolio Review segment, we discuss a portfolio submitted by Markus. It is an interesting one, especially due to his number 1 holding of 20% Last but not least, we discuss several listeners questions ranging from how to deal with takeover offers to whether Wallgreens will find a path back to growth again. Overall, Episode 204 of Dividend Talk is packed with information again and we wish you all a lovely summer!

F-Stop Collaborate and Listen - A Landscape Photography Podcast
Telling important stories about the struggles that occur through the coexistence of wildlife and humanity is no easy task, yet it is of tremendous importance, especially today. Telling the stories can bridge the gaps between groups that disagree on handling these delicate situations while shedding light on potential solutions that may meet the values that coexist in both groups of people. Today's guest on the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen Podcast, Morgan Heim, is a master at telling such stories about wildlife and human interaction. She founded Neon Raven Story Labs, a storytelling and strategy platform for conservation, and in 2020 co-launched Her Wild Vision Initiative to raise the voices of diverse women in the craft of conservation visual storytelling. On this week's episode, we discuss: How Morgan got into conservation photography and wildlife photojournalism. Telling the stories about conservation that are close to home. The coexistence of wildlife and man and telling the stories about those intersections. How to get started in conservation photography. How limitations can improve our photography. Ignoring the "shoulds" that are in our mind. Telling the human side of the story in conservation. Showcasing our work in a fine art aesthetic. How to remove barriers for new and more diverse talent in the photography industry.
