For our 30th episode we're discussing that topic we always seem to revisit - monitoring!  While we have some opinions on the state of reference and consumer monitors in 2025 we thought it'd be fun to celebrate our 30th episode with some good friends who also happen to be experts in their part of the monitoring ecosystem.  In Part 1 of a two-part series, we're joined by Flander Scientific CEO Bram Desmet, Nate McFarlin from Dolby, and David Abrams from Portrait Displays/Avical.We'll discuss their areas of expertise with each of them a little bit - monitor manufacturing, display testing and validation, and calibration.  Specific topics explored in this episode include:Staying on top of monitoring technologiesChoosing display technologies for a monitor product lineDetermining what features make it into monitor softwareAddressing different needs of different users e.g. DITs vs ColoristsHow staying at the forefront of color science helps deliver the most accurate monitors possibleThe role that an R&D company like Dolby plays in the monitor ecosystemHow monitor usability is just as important as performanceThe complexity of monitor display technologies and how they can complicate monitor evaluationSometimes monitor evaluation brings with it things manufacturers don't want to hearConsumer monitors can be considerably harder to evaluate than professional monitorsWhat does Dolby Certification really mean for consumer TVsWhen will we hit a point where HDR is standard & SDR is looked at in a similar way to HD or 4:3 Professional vs Consumer displays when it comes to calibration accuracy out of the boxCalibration is not a replacement for understanding & proper setup/use of a monitorExploring how calibration has become both easier and harderHow accurate is accurate enough and is the cost of reference calibration gear worth itNoticeable differences & degrees of accuracy with calibrationDrift and the frequency of recalibration In part 2 we explore some monitoring topics provided by our listeners and ones that Joey and Robbie have been eager to discuss.

Thank you for your honest feedback and support!“For theology to be worth anything, it must traffic in real life, and that real life begins in the heart.”Theologian Simeon Zahl (University of Cambridge) joins Evan Rosa to discuss his book, The Holy Spirit and Christian Experience, reflecting on emotion and affect; the livability of Christian faith; the origins of religious ideas; the data of human desire for theological reflection; the grace of God as the ultimate context for playfulness and freedom; and the role of the Holy Spirit in holding this all together.About Simeon ZahlSimeon Zahl is Professor of Christian Theology in the Faculty of Divinity. He is an historical and constructive theologian whose research interests span the period from 1500 to the present. His most recent monograph is The Holy Spirit and Christian Experience, which proposes a new account of the work of the Spirit in salvation through the lens of affect and embodiment. Professor Zahl received his first degree in German History and Literature from Harvard, and his doctorate in Theology from Cambridge. Following his doctorate, he held a post-doc in Cambridge followed by a research fellowship at St John's College, Oxford. Prior to his return to Cambridge he was Assistant Professor of Systematic Theology at the University of Nottingham.Show NotesExplore Simeon Zahl's The Holy Spirit & Christian Experience“For theology to be worth anything, it must traffic in real life, and that real life begins in the heart.”Theology becoming abstracted from day to day life“There is a tendency that we have as human beings, as theologians to do theology that gets abstracted in some way from the concerns of day to day life that we get caught up in our sort of conceptual kind of towers and structures or committed to certain kinds of ideas in ways that get free of the life that Christians actually seem to lead.”“Real life begins in the heart.”God is concerned with the heart.Emotion, desire, and feelingsWhere does love come in?Martin Luther and Philip MelanchthonPhilip Melanchthon's 1521 Loci Communes: Defining human nature through the “affective power”Affect versus rationality at the center of Christian lifeCredibility, plausibility, and livability of ChristianityAuthenticity and the disparity between values and beliefs and real lives.Doctrine of GraceEnabling a hopeful honesty“What Christianity says and what it feels need to be closer together.”Evangelical conversion in George Elliot's novella, Janet's Repentance“Ideas are often poor ghosts; our sun−filled eyes cannot discern them; they pass athwart us in thin vapour, and cannot make themselves felt. But sometimes they are made flesh; they breathe upon us with warm breath, they touch us with soft responsive hands, they look at us with sad sincere eyes, and speak to us in appealing tones; they are clothed in a living human soul, with all its conflicts, its faith, and its love. Then their presence is a power, then they shake us like a passion, and we are drawn after them with gentle compulsion, as flame is drawn to flame.” (George Eliot)Art's ability to speak to desire.T.S. Eliot: “Poetry operates at the frontiers of consciousness.”Exhausted by religious languageHow the aesthetic impacts the acceptance of ideasDurable conceptsWhere theological doctrine comes fromSimeon Zahl: “In what ways are theological doctrines themselves developed from and sourced by the living concerns and experiences of Christians and of human beings more broadly? Doctrines do not develop in a vacuum or fall from the sky, fully formed. Human reasonings, including theological reasonings, are never fully extricable in a given moment from our feelings, our moods, our predispositions, and the personal histories we carry with us. furthermore, as we shall see in the book, doctrines have often come to expression in the history of Christianity, not least through an ongoing engagement with what have been understood to be concrete experiences of God's spirit and history.”“People were worshipping Christ before they understood who he was.”“Speaking about human experience just is speaking about the doctrine of the Holy Spirit.”Desire and emotion as pneumatological experienceSourcing emotional and experiential data for theological reflectionErnst Troelsch: “Every metaphysic must find its test in practical life.”“The half-light of understanding”Nietzsche: “The hereditary sin of the philosopher is a lack of historical sense.”Augustine's transformation of desireEmotional experience as inadequate tool on its ownNoticing our own emotional experiences“If you want to pay attention to the Holy Spirit in theology, that means you have to pay attention to embodied experiential realities.”Worshipping of God as Trinity before identifying the doctrine of the TrinityKaren Kilby's “apathetic trinitarianism”Pentecostalism, affect, and playEstablishing a spiritual connection between you and GodTouch, sweat, and movementNemi Waraboko's The Pentecostal Principle: Ethical Methodology in New SpiritOpenness to new things, dynamismPlay and graceAn embarrassment of play, in the best way possibleThe freedom of the Spirit: free to get it wrong in a “relaxed field”Grace as the ultimate “relaxed field”Production NotesThis podcast featured Simeon ZahlEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Macie Bridge, Alexa Rollow, & Tim BergelandA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give

We have talked about losing a loved one on the podcast before but often have focused on the grief that comes afterwards and not as much on the moment of when someone first learns of that loss. This week's story covers this moment but with a twist.Jessica Ritchie has had several challenges in her life, but for her, the one that stands out is the moment a national news headline led her to genuinely believe her husband had died in a police shoot out. She had been making small changes up until that point, but the response she felt to that moment and the way that she reacted made her realise she had to make a change. It's what led her to completely overhaul her business and life and it formed the basis of her book.In this episode she shares:The time her husband was caught in enormous shooting incident and she didn't know if he was alive or notThe anxiety and stress that came from not being able to find out about her husbands safetyThe time she found her baby brother in a comatose state when she was a childThe days after her husband came home after the shootingHow traumatic experiences caused her to disconnect herself from her husband and loved ones so she wouldn't feel the pain again.Her significant personal challenges of floods, cancer diagnoses in close friends, and personal health struggles and having children when doctors said it wasn't possibleThe creation of a methodology based on mindset, authenticity, resilience, and kindness Key Quotes“I went through grief. I felt like every cell in my body changed because to me, my husband had died.”“When I was 5 I found my brother in a comatose state due to juvenile diabetes.”“So I turned it on, and there, straight up on national news was the headline, Helidon police officer, father of 2, shot and killed in the line of duty.”More about Jessicawww.transformationalbrandlab.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ritchiejessica/https://www.instagram.com/the.jessica.ritchie/ https://www.facebook.com/thejessicaritchie/You can get involved with the podcast onlineTo try out our resilience course: https://www.challengesthatchangeus.com/surviving-2-thriving-course1On facebook in our community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/challengesthatchangeusOr on Instagram: @challengesthatchangeusIf you want to contact the podcast, email us here: support@challengesthatchangeus.comOr check out our website: www.Challengesthatchangeus.comIf you want to find out more about what Ali does, check out her business via the website: http://www.trialtitudeperformance.com.auFor her other business you can find it through the websites: www.altitudefitnessarmidale.com.au Hosted on Acast.

Download your FREE copy of How to Level up Your Studio Policy in 3 Ways” here: 3 Ways to Level Up Your Studio PolicyJoin the FREE Facebook community for piano teachers:https://www.facebook.com/groups/theprosperouspianoteacherToday, let's talk about the surprising benefits of diving in and figuring stuff out.I believe that embracing this mindset of "diving in" and "figuring things out" can be a game-changer in your teaching business, regardless of your busy schedule or other commitments. So, let's explore the benefits of taking that leap.1. Believing It's PossibleThe first step in this journey is believing that it's possible. Often, we doubt ourselves and our abilities, coming up with all sorts of reasons why we can't achieve something. Maybe you think you need a formal degree or more training before you can take your business to the next level. But the truth is, we live in a time where information is readily available, often for free, on the internet.Instead of doubting yourself, choose to adopt a growth mindset. Understand that you can learn and acquire the skills you need as you go. Don't use a lack of formal qualifications as an excuse. Trust that you already possess the capability to learn and adapt.2. Acquiring the KnowledgeOnce you believe it's possible, it's time to acquire the knowledge needed to make your vision a reality. This may involve some research and learning, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. While it's easy to get lost in a sea of information, it's crucial to strike a balance between acquiring enough knowledge and taking action.For example, when I started my YouTube channel, I spent hours researching how to create and edit videos. While the information was helpful, what truly gave me confidence was diving in and creating content. You don't need to be an expert before you start – sometimes, the best teacher is experienced.3. Just Do ItNow comes the most crucial step – just do it. Once you have some basic knowledge and a belief in your capabilities, take that first step. It's common to feel overwhelmed or uncertain at this stage, but remember that everyone starts somewhere. Your first attempts might not be perfect, and that's okay.When I began my YouTube channel, I was told that no one watches the first few videos. And that's true for many endeavors – initial efforts might not yield immediate results, but they are vital for your growth. So, take that leap, create that first video, or launch that new program. Don't let fear hold you back.4. Don't Give Up and Be ConsistentThe journey doesn't end after your first attempt; it's essential to keep going and stay consistent. Many people start but don't continue. The key difference between those who succeed and those who don't is persistence.You might encounter challenges, face setbacks, or feel like giving up at times. But remember that the only difference between you and someone further along the path is that they didn't quit. Stay committed to your goal and keep pushing forward, even when it gets tough.5. Refining As You GoAs you take action and continue your journey, you'll naturally learn and grow. This is where the magic happens. You'll discover what works and what doesn't. Your skills will improve, your processes will become more efficient, and you'll refine your approach.For example, my content creation process has evolved significantly over the years. I've streamlined my methods, reduced the time required, and enhanced the quality of my work. This didn't happen overnight but through continuous learning and...

A focus on clean language in turn creates what Judy calls ‘clean facilitation'.Specificity and neutrality is the name of the game, but can facilitators ever truly be neutral? Judy and I wrestle with the big questions of influence, manipulation, and communication in this episode as we try to clear up clean facilitation and explore how to apply it in our day-to-day work.Find out about:What Judy means by ‘clean facilitation'Practical examples of how clean language can help facilitators dig deeper into a discussionWhy getting out of the group's way is a noble goal, but not always possibleThe ways in which we manipulate without ever realisingHow to use our influence with the group in a beneficial wayHow clean language can help us better understand a group's idiosyncrasies and uniquenessWhy focusing our influence on the process, rather than the content, is a valuable path to followDon't miss the next episode: subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.And download the free 1-page summary, so you can always have the key points of this episode to hand.Links:Watch the video recording of this episode on YouTube.Free Clean Language ebook.Judy's Clean Language for Facilitators course.Video guide for a Clean Language-based change process.New Rules for Work experiment, applying Clean Language.Connect to Judy:On LinkedIn.Support the show:Make a one-off donation and contribute to the ongoing costs of running the podcast.Support the showCheck out the podcast map to see the overview of all podcast episodes: https://workshops.work/podcast-map

It's simple enough, but if you don't take it to heart, make it a part of your every action, and put it into practice you won't know the vast benefit of such a habit. As Arkad learned, paying oneself a tenth of everything he earns teaches a man to live just as well with the remaining 90% of his earnings. He didn't even notice the difference.Lesson 2Later on, as Arkad has gotten into the habit of putting away that tenth… we learn the second lesson. Arkad built up a bit of money and decided to take the advice of his friend the brickmaker, to invest in some gemstones. Algamish points out the folly of taking advice from a brickmaker about gemstones, as Arkad painfully learns by losing all of his savings. Why should he take advice about gemstones from a brickmaker? Lesson two from Algamish: take advice only from those that are experienced in the matter of your questions.You're acting like Arkad talking to the brickmaker about gemstones when you listen to the people on your timelineYou get real superstitious when you win with no education A penny doubled everyday for 30 days is $5,368,709. But a penny doubled every day for 15 days is only $163.84. Lesson: trust the process.Lesson 3The third lesson: take advantage of compounding of returns.Once Arkad had learned and applied the lesson of compounding returns (making the children of your money to produce children of the children), he had mastered the secret of increasing his wealth. Upon learning this, and knowing that his heirs had not learned these lessons, Algamish offers Arkad a job, managing some of his properties. In return, Algamish makes Arkad a partner in the profits, and the heir of a portion of his fortune. And the rest is history.Closing ThoughtsIt doesn't take talent to make a lot money Skill acquisition and learning are two different thingsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-secret-to-success/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Now, he's president and CEO of his family's dealership group, boasting six stores and on their way to further expansion.George joins Derek D for an insightful conversation spanning his lifelong love of automobiles from multiple standpoints, what it's like having a family history in car sales that stretches so far back, switching to a pickup truck for his daily drive, and developing a new brand as the market becomes ready for it. He also talks about how to mitigate risks during dealership group expansion,  the importance of proper documentation and updating documents, what happens when someone says they'd like to buy a car just like the one he's driving, and more.Grubbs Automotive GroupEpisode Highlights:What George's father insisted on driving in order to promote the businessHow Grubbs Automotive Group avoids overextension when trying to expandWhy customers prefer to be told bluntly about dealership policies and changesHow Grubbs Automotive staff members are in training constantly - and how such a thing is possibleThe specific types of vehicles that Grubbs dealerships can strategically price above MSRP without losing customer satisfaction“To us it's always been people and process - build strong processes, find talented people, and get out of their way.”— George Grubbs III|| Dealer News Today is a DCG Media production

One barrel of oil equals the manual labor energy of one human for five years.  This fact explains why humans are strapped to fossil fuels: entire economies and lifestyles are based on the easy availability of fossil fuels.  Humans don't yet know how to live off of the Earth's “energy budget” – fueled by the sun. We're emitting more CO2 than at any time before.  What is the barrier to slowing this down?  Politics, and the difficulty humans have with change.  But change is afoot and hope is alive.David Roberts is editor-at-large at Canary Media.  He writes about clean energy and politics at his newsletter, Volts.  Previously, he covered the same subjects for five years at Vox, and before that for 10 years at Grist. Today on Clean Power Hour, David joins Tim to discuss the progress made on technologies that extract carbon out of the atmosphere, make the clean energy we need to sustain us and store the extra.  David presents the three very attainable goals that will bring us most of the way to the solution.  Listen in for a veritable “clinic” on established clean energy technologies in place now and those in reengineering stage, like hydrogen, thermal, concentrated solar and more.  As David states, many solutions are surprisingly basic and simple.Key TakeawaysHow the global action humans have taken, while painfully slow, will likely save us from the most extreme outcomes previously considered possibleThe rare jewel that is a climate science expert who speaks in plain languageHow Nate Hagen's quote, “Things are getting worse and worse and better and better, faster and faster” sums up human's very slow adoption of climate solutionsThe three changes we can make that will solve 75% of the problemDavid's take on why now is the most amazing time to be finding solutions in energy storageOutside wind and solar, how non-intermittent solutions such as geothermal, smaller hydro, lithium-ion batteries, meltdown-proof nuclear and thermal energy are having a moment How the ecological principle of “carrying capacity” explains the problem humans have caused on EarthWhat concentrated solar is, and how it's a great example of replacing materials with intelligenceHow one simple but clever insight waiting to be uncovered could be the answerConnect with DaveDave on Twitter CanaryMediaVolts NewsletterConnect with Tim  Clean Power Hour  Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tgmontague@gmail.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsResourcesNate Hagens, The Great SimplificationHyperlightCorporate sponsors who share our mission to speed the energy transition are invited to check out https://www.cleanpowerhour.com/support/ Twice a week we highlight the tools, technologies and innovators that are making the clean energy transition a reality - on Apple,

You may have seen mortgage tips posted throughout the forums or in the BiggerPockets Money Facebook Group, but rarely do you get preapproval tips straight from a lender themselves. As the housing market stays hot and interest rates continue to rise, it may seem harder and harder to get approved for the amount, or the interest rate, that you want. Now, instead of guessing what you can do to increase your financeability, you can get answers directly from the source!Joining us today is Jon Lallande, former mortgage lender, now real estate investor. Jon has helped close tens of millions of dollars in mortgages and has funded homes across the US.

Psychedelics can cause harm. Don't get me wrong, I love psychedelics. But I also acknowledge their potential to bring about profoundly unwanted changes in the psyche.Yet, with the ever-more abundant influx of news focussing on the life-changing benefits of these substances, the very real risks that pose are getting drowned out, leaving us with only one-half of the full picture.The way that our information channels are structured these days, if we don't want to hear about something, we usually don't. We also tend to be over-eager to find The Solution to all our problems. Psychedelics, for many, are taking on this projection. It's not uncommon to hear people talking about the psychedelic renaissance as though it were the second coming. Ed Prideaux is on a mission to stop some of this psychedelic naivety in its tracks, by speaking up about his experience with hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD). Remember those LSD horror stories that your mum told you, about that guy who took LSD and never stopped tripping? Well, this is sort of like that (although HPPD is not the same as ‘permatripping', as you'll hear Ed clarify) except this is no horror story. The week after Ed's fourth LSD trip, he noticed that the carpets were sparkling and the walls were melting. These effects, along with a handful of others, have not totally left him, 6 years on.This phenomenon is far more common than you might think. A recent study of 2455 psychedelic users reported that a quarter of participants said that they experienced lingering perceptual changes days and weeks after a psychedelic experience and that 1 in 25 found these changes to be so distressing that they considered seeking clinical help.The conversation that Ed brings to the table goes far beyond just HPPD. It extends into an axiom-altering exploration of the narratives around ‘really bad trips', the fundamental flaws of the current mental health framework, and the fluid nature of reality itself. What We Cover: What is HPPD?Ed's personal experience with HPPDThe connection between anxiety and perceptionAdvice for someone who thinks they might have HPPDThe problem with overidentifying with a particular form of sufferingCan you use psychedelics again if you have HPPD?The gifts of neurodiversityStan Grof's controversial treatment for HPPDHow to make a psychedelic experience as well-held as possibleThe fundamental skill to have in the psychedelic experienceThe intersection of this psychedelic moment with the metaversePsychedelic narcissism DIVE DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE and get 5+ mind-blowing ideas, tools, or quotes sent to you every Wednesday.Please leave a review if you enjoy The HighExistence podcast.

What are the skills, abilities, and experiences that will push them into a life that matters?As a fifth grade teacher, Kenneth Joyner saw a problem. Some of the boys in his school were lost. They didn't have father figures in their lives. They didn't apply themselves in school. They didn't know how to present themselves to others. They were acting out. In response, Kenneth and another teacher started an afterschool program called "Boys with a Purpose." They started off simply: teaching the boys how to dress well and observe basic etiquette. From there, they developed training for academic success as well as a wide range of life skills. Boys with a Purpose now partners with Boeing, the Charlotte Hornets, and other sponsors to make a profound difference in these boys' lives. At the heart of what Kenneth is doing is the question of what are the preconditions for finding purpose in life?  In this episode, you'll learn about:How pain points us to our purposeThe power of new experiences for showing us what is possibleThe power of thinking differently to act differentlyHow to mentor others in finding their purposeThe difference between passion and purposeBoys with a Purpose FB PageKenneth's book: Without a Father***Find more at our Instagram page. Want to connect?

In the same way that ‘smooth seas don’t make great sailors,’ a strong economy doesn’t produce great entrepreneurs. And for short-term rental (STR) business owners using the master lease model, the last six months have been a worst-case scenario of rough waters. So, how did Travers Xanthos manage to make it through the storm—and even add boats to his fleet?Travers is the Founder at COMÓ, a STR company out of Nashville, Tennessee, that caters to the modern business traveler. He spent several years working in corporate sales before starting his STR business in February of 2018, and today, he has a portfolio of 30 properties. Travers is an expert in the rental arbitrage model, and he was able to pivot and not just keep his business alive but add units in the pandemic.On this episode of Get Paid for Your Pad, Travers joins me to explain how he created a successful STR business in Nashville and what he did to keep it going through COVID-19. He discusses how he learned the master lease model and shares the strategies he used to expand his portfolio in the midst of a global pandemic. Listen in for Travers’ insight on building a team to run your business (while you travel the world) and get his advice on making your STR hosting dreams a reality.Topics CoveredWhat the last six months have been like for TraversRevenue dropped 95% in one weekLearned much that will serve for rest of lifeHow Travers was able to add units during the pandemicStarted initiative to house medical professionalsFocused on extended stays (up to 6 months)Distributed flyers at construction job sitesHow Travers got into the STR master lease businessWanted to travel, live life on own termsTalked to friend with successful STR businessStarted calling list of rental property ownersCreated plan to leave 9-to-5 job in 6 monthsTravers’ advice for aspiring STR business ownersTake actionGet educated (course, mentorship)Outsource as quickly as possibleThe structure of Travers’ teamOnly one W-2 employee (property manager)Team of independent contractor cleanersTravers’ lifestyle of frequent travelLived in Bali but couldn’t grow businessHome base in Nashville, trips all over worldConnect with TraversCOMÓTravers on InstagramResourcesSTR LegendsGet Paid for Your Pad: How to Maximize Profit from Your Airbnb Listing by Jasper Ribbers and Huzefa KapadiaFacebook MarketplaceThe FounderBarbara Corcoran on BiggerPocketsSTR Profit AcademySTR MethodSmartbnbGet Paid for Your Pad on YouTubeEmail jasper@getpaidforyourpad.com or support@strlegends.comSponsorHostfully See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

However, doing this constantly is not sustainable. That's why the 5 minute strategy is so powerful because it can fit into anybody's day.” – Dominica LumazarSome Topics Discussed Include:How 5 minutes is all you need to be better at anything than you ever thought possibleThe secrets to avoiding burnoutWhat business owners can do to unstuck themselvesHow to become an expert without spending 10,000 hours learningWhat successful people focus on to grow their businessesDownload the detailed show notes for this episode at https://bpbpodcast.com/how-to-be-awesome-at-anything-in-5-minutes/

In this episode we’re joined by Shari Davis, Executive Director of the Participatory Budgeting Project, and Derrick Braziel, co-founder and Development Director of MORTAR Cincinnati.On today’s show, we follow the money. We discuss public budgeting processes, the moral weight of budget decisions, and the opportunities we have to make these documents “living, breathing reflections of community need and community-driven investment.” Participatory budgeting (PB) is a process by which all people in a community can play a role in shaping the kinds of projects their governments spend money on. We discuss what this means in general, and what role PB plays in rethinking public safety and economic development. We also discuss the reality for many Americans—especially in communities of color—who have a business idea but lack the connections to necessary tools and resources to get off the ground. Derrick started MORTAR to help people from marginalized groups get the training and resources to start and grow their own businesses. In addition to the programs MORTAR runs, Derrick discusses some of the policies they pushed for locally that have helped ensure the viability of the Cincinnati's Black-owned businesses.In addition to this background, we discuss:Some of the biggest barriers to challenging the status quo in city governmentsTrust and mistrust in local governmentFighting for systemic change while also experiencing traumaHow COVID-19 and the growing movement for Black lives have affected the ways Derrick and Shari are thinking about their work—and what’s possibleThe importance of narrative shift when conditions shift—and the importance of sharing stories that seldom get toldWhat we mean by “safety”—and who we’ve too often left out of the discussionInvesting in the broader ecosystem of social justiceHow PB is a tool to build the infrastructure for what reinvestment in community looks likeWhose talent we’ve historically been leaving off the field in our communities—and what the implications are for today’s recovery effortsThe challenges associated with discussing changes to policing and first responseHow we might make society more democratic and participatory as a wholeKey takeaways for local government leadersBook recommendations!

Being able to go toilet is fundamental to life. There are a number of reasons why an older cat might not be able to pee or poop. All need treatment but some are more serious than others.Grab my FREE guide to keeping your cat as happy and healthy as possibleThe reasons why a cat is unable to empty their bladder:an obstruction within the bladder which can be the result of inflammation, infection, stones or a tumornerve damage that can result from trauma, injury (such as a "tail pull" event), or cancerbladder muscle weakness which can happen if the bladder becomes very full and then is unable to contract even when the original problem is corrected.pain (due to arthritis for example) can result in a cat being unable or unwilling to go to the toilet and hold on for extended periods of time. While a cat will eventually urinate, this can result in severe constipationIf your cat is having problems pooping as well then I'd be especially worried about the second group of issues. Either way, I'd recommend that your cat is assessed straight away by your vet as a bladder obstruction is fatal if not cleared, and the other causes will result in pain which needs to be addressed.Head over to the full show notes

What I learned from reading Les Schwab Pride In Performance: Keep It Going! by Les Schwab. 16 ideas from the book: Intensity is the price of excellence —Warren BuffettI am 68 years old now. And I've run it in overdrive my whole life. I've always wanted to be the best tire dealer, not necessarily the largest tire dealer.The people serving your customers are the most important people in your company:We have had over the years some people in the office that sometimes think they are more important than the stores. The office serves only one purpose, and that is to serve the stores. Some of our office people sometimes wonder about this. But I've warned them, don't bitch to me because that is the way I want it. If you want to go out and start at the bottom changing tires and work into a manager job, then hop right to it. If it weren't for those men in the stores working their butts off in all kinds of weather, missing meals, God awful hours, etc. you wouldn't even have a job.If you're not serving the customer, or supporting the folks who do, we don't need you. —Sam Walton Let the people at the store level and your manager know you are behind them. They are the ones who make you successful, not the person in a nice office who has nothing to do today but to send out another damn directive. If it doesn't help the store, tear it up and tell the store to tell the office to go to hell.There are no shortcuts around quality, and quality starts with people. —Steve JobsPeople are the success of our company. Most anyone can sell tires. The only difference between a Les Schwab Tire Centre and most any tire dealership is the people working there.Sharing profits with your employees is a way to build people. Be unselfish for good reasons.We share 50% of our profits with all the employees in the store. My thinking has always been if I give away half the profits I still have half. If I share $10 million with people I still have $10 million left over. I don't understand why businessmen can't do this. It is being unselfish for good reasons. It helps a lot of people.Helping others succeed provides deep satisfaction:Success in life is being a good husband, a good father and you end up being a second father to hundreds of other men and women. Last night I attended a wedding of a young man from our office. This young man told me that two men had influenced his life, his father and me. That's worth more than money.Promote from within —There's no problem you can't solve if you know your business from A to ZIn our 34 years of business, we have never hired a manager from the outside, nor have we ever hired an assistant manager directly to that job. Every single one of our more than 250 managers and assistant managers started at the bottom changing tires. They have all earned their management jobs by working up.Most businesses are poorly run. If you are on the ball you can beat them.We are different from most American corporations, as we think the most important people in the company are the people on the firing line; the ones who sell, do the service work and take care of the customer. Most American corporations have the fat salaries for the top people and treat the people at the end of the line as peons. I guess that is why, if you are on the ball, you can beat them on any type of fair competitive basis.Decision making should always be made at the lowest possible level:A company starts, it grows, and as it grows, more and more of the decision making moves to the main office. And this is one hell of a big mistake. The decision making should always be made at the lowest possible level. Give your manager the authority to make his own daily decisions, under certain guidelines of course, but let him run his show.You can innovate by doing the exact opposite of your competitorsMost tire businesses had a small showroom and all the tires were hidden in the warehouse. My thinking was to reverse —to make the showroom the warehouse.“Never, ever, think about something else when you should be thinking about the power of incentives.”—Charlie Munger One benefit of sharing profits with employees —less theft from within:Now that we share with all people, if any one employee sees another employee steal they are a weak kitten if they don't report it. Why? Because this man is stealing from them, from his children. If he won't fight for his children, he can't be very much. For a company as large as ours we have very little dishonesty.Pay the highest wages possibleThe company paid low wages and had a lower overhead. The flaw was they didn't get —with the low pay— near the quality of employees we had.Get out of your officeIf the store manager runs his store right, he doesn't have to spend hours and hours looking at the office reports; if he's doing okay the records will show it. In fact if he spends too much time in his office reading the mail, it is a sure thing his store will suffer. Sell tires, give service, keep expenses low, make sure everything is billed out, keep good communications with employees, be careful with credit, watch for leaks —do these things and you'll come out all right.Stay out of your officeStay out of a store for 30 days and you've forgotten 50 percent of what you know.Once you get on the ball, stay on the ball. OR as Sam Walton said when asked how he built Wal Mart. “We just got after it and *stayed* after it.”If we think there is a free lunch, if we rely on last year's results and ask for pay for non-productive items, then this company will turn the corner, too, and then we too will start down the hill. And once you start down, it is mighty hard to turn around. If we become complacent, brother it's all over with.There's a rule they don't teach you at Harvard Business School. It is: If anything is worth doing, it's worth doing to excess. —Edwin LandWhatever you do, you must do it with gusto, you must do it in volume.

You must have a robust methodology for selecting the right share, property or bond to invest in. If you select the right asset, your investment returns are likely to be very healthy in the long run.However, if you make a mistake, it is likely to cost you money – in terms of opportunity cost and/or in real terms.The best way to prevent making a mistake is to use a methodology for selecting the right asset that is proven to work. In this blog I outline the four different methodologies and the two that I think are best to use in combination, where possible.There are four different asset selection methodologiesThere are many different asset selection approaches which can have their own subtleties and idiosyncrasies. However, every methodology can be broadly allocated into four different categories:1. Value investingThis involves identifying assets or sectors that are intrinsically undervalued. Markets are not always perfectly efficient and sometimes assets transact for amounts less than fair market value. This could be due to factors such as a motivated seller, misinformation, market sentiment (fear) and so on.2. Growth investingThis involves identifying assets or sectors that have high growth prospects. This approach is less concerned with the price paid for the asset compared to its appraised value - it’s all about the idea that you can buy this asset today for $x and that price will look cheap in the future after the expected growth has materialised. This methodology requires you to form a view as to what the future growth opportunities could be which is often highly subjective.3. Fundamental investingThis approach involves identifying the assets or sectors that have the strongest underlying fundamentals such that the asset quality is extremely high. This approach is less concerned about the price paid and usually the assets growth prospects might be already reflected in the current price. The thesis underlying this strategy is that investment returns are directly linked to asset quality i.e. you can only expect above average returns from above average quality assets.4. Technical analysisThis approach involves looking for trends in data and statistics (such as price movements and volume) to identify assets and sectors that are expected to deliver above average returns in the short or longer termFundamental with a value tilt, if possibleThe lowest risk approach by far is fundamental investing. Asset quality will typically persist longer than market mispricing or unrecognised growth prospects. As Warren Buffett says, he would rather buy a wonderful stock at a fair price than a fair stock at a wonderful price.However, sometimes it is possible to employ both a fundamental and value approach. That is, for example, sometimes you can buy a wonderful property or stock for a wonderful price. But, you must never pursue a value approach at the cost of the investment’s fundamentals. That is, never compromise on asset quality.You can reduce your risk by using an evidenced-based approachAn evidenced-based approach involves only adopting an asset selection methodology where there is overwhelming evidence that it will produce the desired investment returns. Too many people adopt investment methodologies and approaches without considering whether the evidence stacks up and that is just too risky – it is totally unnecessary to take that risk. Therefore, if you want to find a fundamental approach to adopt when selecting the right residential property to invest in, make sure there’s an overwhelming amount of evidence that demonstrates the methodology works.Specifically, there are several things to consider when assessing the historical evidence:Rules-based investingIs there a list of pre-determined rules that you follow to implement the methodology? For example, if looking to invest in an apartment, it must have carparking on title. One of the major benefits of a rules-based approach is that it is repeatable without highly specialised (expensive) human resources.You must understand historic returnsIt is important to understand what has driven investment returns. Can the returns be attributed to the investment methodology alone or were they influenced by other factors? Are returns likely to persist over the long run through various market cycles? Observing returns is only half the picture. It is equally important to understand the factors that have driven the returns because that will demonstrate whether your rules-based approach will continue to work.Methodologies can be openly critiqued and stress-testedEvidenced-based approaches are often peer-reviewed and critiqued. This allows methodologies to be scrutinised and tested by peers and industry participants to ensure they are robust.They tend to be low-costEvidenced-based and rules-based approaches tend to be low cost because the methodology itself is responsible for generating the returns, not an investment manager who are often paid large sums of money.I’d like to share our fundamental approach with a value tiltI invite you to join me for a livestream seminar on Tuesday 13 November 2018 after work at 7:30pm where I will share with you where I think the best value opportunities exist in the share market and residential property markets at the moment.Click here (https://www.prosolution.com.au/investment-briefing-nov18/) for more information about what I will cover and to register for this event.

In this episode we look at the real strategy for producing breakthrough results, high contribution and personally satisfying work .The last time someone asked you how you were doing - did you answer “Busy?” Then this episode is for you. We explore why smart, capable people end up plateauing and failing. We examine the culture of busyness that has overtaken us and examine how to avoid the traps of getting overwhelmed and focusing on the wrong things. We share strategies for determining what’s important, eliminating the non-essential, and making execution effortless with our guest Greg McKeown. Greg McKeown is an international keynote speaker and the bestselling author of Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less. Greg has spoek at events around the world including SXSW and interviewing Al Gore at the World Economic Forum, where he serves as a Young Global Leader. Greg has worked with some of the largest and well known companies in the world and his work has been featured on Fox, NPR, NBC, and praised by many more.How do smart, capable people end up plateauing and failing?Success breeds options and opportunities, which can eventually undermine successSuccess can actually be a catalyst for failure via "the undisciplined pursuit of more"You have to become “successful at success,” success itself must be managed if we are to get to the next levelEssentialism is a continually process and a disciplined pursuit of lessThe three key strategies of essentialism are:Explore what’s essentialEliminate the non-essentialMake Execution as effortless as possibleThe forces of success are such that they tend to naturally push us away from that process of focusing on the essentialOur old responses are necessary but not sufficient to the challenge of focusing on the essentialDo you ever feel busy but not productive?Do you ever feel like your life is being hijacked by other people’s agendas?It’s not just about eliminating the time wasters, but also eliminating the good opportunities tooWe have to shift more deliberately than we have, more deliberately than we think we need to. We must become FAR more selective in what we go afterDoes this sound familiar: How are you? “Busy"What does the science say about being productive?The second most highly correlated item that distinguishes TOP PERFORMERS from good performers - is the number of hours of sleepIt’s not about doing more thing's its doing more of the RIGHT THINGS“First less, then obsess"The essentialist mindset can help both your personal and your professional lifeThe idea is not called “no-ism”  - the key is to figure out what IS essential - what’s the most important thing we could be doing - and then DO THATThe most graceful no is actually saying YES to something that’s more important. Yes to a bigger and more important opportunity.  How do you say no gracefully? How do you overcome the discomfort of telling people (especially your boss) NO?Are you falling prey to "Bertolt-Becht Thinking”? (and why that might be dangerous)What will matter when I’m no longer in the picture?This is what we need to do in order to not waste our lives Self actualization is not the same as self transcendence - and why that distinction is essential (no pun intended) to understand "Reducing oneself to zero""Humility and simple truth is more powerful than empire"How to cultivate a self-transcendent perspectiveThe most important thing to do is to figure out the most important thing to do is and to do itHomework - begin a daily reflection a journal - even just one sentence a day Learn more about your ad choices.
