Welcome back! We're doing a special series on the podcast this summer called Studio Snapshots. Rather than the in-depth, process-oriented interviews you're used to hearing, these rapid-fire interviews give us a glimpse in a guest's studio at a moment in time.  They're part reflection, part anticipation of the future, and fully a celebration of where these teachers are today. Today I'm talking to Clinton Pratt.  A full transcript and resources from this episode can be found at MusicStudioStartup.com/snapshot035.   Music Studio Business Building 101: Summer 2025 cohort happening now!

The Midnight GlacierDrop is finally here, and in this episode, I break down everything you need to know about claiming your NIGHT tokens.Midnight is a new privacy-focused blockchain built by IOG, featuring two key tokens: NIGHT (a utility and governance token) and DUST (a non-transferable shielded resource for private transactions).This episode walks through the entire claim and redemption process, eligibility requirements, and why the staggered release of NIGHT is designed to prevent token dumping. The GlacierDrop claim is open to holders of ADA, BTC, ETH, XRP, BNB, SOL, AVAX, and BAT based on a snapshot taken on June 11, 2025. ADA holders receive the largest allocation—50% of the eligible airdrop supply. You'll need to connect your wallet to the official GlacierDrop portal when it launches and claim within a 60-day window.After that, unclaimed tokens move to the Scavenger Mine phase, followed by a long-term Lost & Found period that spans four years. Redemption of NIGHT tokens follows a 360-day vesting schedule with unlocks every 90 days, starting randomly within the first 90 days post-claim.Each redemption requires a transaction on Cardano, so be ready to cover network fees.Also, Cardano SPOs can earn NIGHT by participating in Midnight's block production. Delegators to those pools will benefit too—so be sure to speak with your SPO. 

00:00 How many tokens will be distributed?02:20 Do ETH Stakers in LIDO get NIGHT Airdrop?03:11 Is Unstaked ADA Not Eligible?04:24 Why Do I Need a New Wallet for the Destination Address?06:39 Is ADA on Exchanges included in the Airdrop? 08:36 Centralised Exchange Support for Cardano Native Tokens10:08 How much ADA is in the Snapshot? 12:07 How many NIGHT tokens will I get?12:40 Wallet verifying process to claim tokens 15:23 Verify the wallet by sending a transaction to your own wallet18:38 What about liquidity providers?20:15 When is the Midnight Mainnet launch? 22:21 Got a question?

You're reviewing your numbers monthly (go you!), but what about taking a step back to see the big picture? In this episode, Danielle walks you through the power of a quarterly financial review, one of the most practical ways to make smarter decisions, spot real trends, and align your business goals with your personal ones. She breaks down the difference between monthly and quarterly reviews (the micro vs. macro view each provides), what numbers to look at quarterly, and how to analyze those numbers. All you need is 90 minutes every 90 days to use your financials as a tool for success and lead your business with deeper clarity and confidence. Key Takeaways:  Monthly vs. Quarterly Reviews: Monthly reviews help you manage the day-to-day, while quarterly reviews are your roadmap, zooming out to see long-term trends and course correct if needed.

Operating Expenses: Your top five expenses tell the real story of your business priorities. Make sure your spending aligns with your vision. Personal + Business Alignment: Your personal and family goals should be part of your financial strategy. If they're out of sync, tension (and burnout) is bound to follow.

Defense technology companies in Germany operate in a highly regulated environment that requires careful navigation of various legal requirements. Key regulations include national or EU legislation on handling of defense-related goods and international treaties. The legal landscape is complex: Beyond defense-specific laws, start-ups must also comply with general public law requirements, including building permits and emission protection permits. Besides regulatory requirements that need to be assessed on a case-by-case basis, defense start-ups should even at an early stage consider three areas: (i) foreign investment controls when it comes to investments by foreign investors; (ii) export control; and (iii) sanctions related questions.

Before narrative arcs, there was Acererak." Dive into Tomb of Horrors Part II and uncover how D&D's most infamous deathtrap shaped the game we love (and sometimes fear). In Part II of the RPGBOT.Podcast's deep dive into Tomb of Horrors, the hosts examine the legendary module not just as a harrowing dungeon crawl, but as a historical artifact that reflects the design philosophies, challenges, and mindset of early Dungeons & Dragons. The discussion unpacks how Tomb of Horrors shaped player expectations, influenced dungeon design, and helped define the adversarial relationship between dungeon masters and players in early editions. The episode also explores how Gary Gygax's approach to game balance, storytelling, and player mortality in Tomb of Horrors laid the groundwork for decades of D&D design choices—both embraced and rejected by later generations. RPGBOT.Podcast Episodes RPGBOT.podcast Episode 1 – DnD 5e's Investigation Skill RPGBOT.Podcast S2E11 – Puzzles Mörk Borg Cult: Heretic – RPGBOT.News S2E32 Part I Tomb of Horrors as a Window in DnD History – RPGBOT.Podcast S3E24 Other Stuff Dungeons of Dread (1e) (affiliate link) Return to the Tomb of Horrors (2e) (affiliate link) Tales from the Yawning Portal (5e) (affiliate link) Tomb of Horrors (3.5) (affiliate link) Tomb of Horrors (4e) (affiliate link) Topics Covered The origins of Tomb of Horrors and its role at early Gen Con tournaments Gary Gygax's design intent: weeding out overconfident high-level players How the module embodied the "DM vs. players" ethos of early D&D The difference between puzzle dungeons and modern story-driven design The use of traps as the main antagonist: Acererak's lair as a death machine Early D&D's emphasis on player skill over character skill The legacy of lethal design and its influence on modules and game systems How later editions of D&D tried to update or reinterpret Tomb of Horrors The cultural importance of Tomb of Horrors as a shared experience What this module tells us about the evolution of D&D's mechanics and tone Key Takeaways Gygax's Intentions Were Clear: Tomb of Horrors wasn't meant to be fair—it was a test. Gygax wanted to challenge players who thought their high-level characters made them invincible. The Real Villain is the Dungeon: Unlike other adventures with monsters and villains, Tomb of Horrors uses the environment itself—full of traps and tricks—as the main antagonist. Acererak is more of a concept than a boss fight. Old-School D&D Prioritized Player Ingenuity: Surviving the module required lateral thinking, note-taking, and paranoia. Modern players used to forgiving mechanics or narrative safety nets can find the module jarringly punishing. The Adversarial DM Was Once the Norm: Tomb of Horrors epitomizes an era where the Dungeon Master was a challenge to be overcome, not a collaborative storyteller. Player Death Was Expected—Even Celebrated: Mortality wasn't a failure, it was part of the game's drama. Character death drove table stories and became a badge of honor for those who survived. Modern Reimaginings Have Softened the Edges: Later versions (3e, 4e, 5e) of the module add story hooks and balanced mechanics but often struggle to retain the tension of the original. There's a tradeoff between accessibility and authenticity. It's a Snapshot of D&D's Origins: Tomb of Horrors is more than a dungeon—it's a reflection of how the earliest games were played, judged, and shared. Studying it offers insight into the roots of the entire hobby. Not for the Faint of Heart—Then or Now: The module remains infamous for a reason. While it can be fun, running or playing it still requires buy-in from everyone at the table that pain and death are part of the experience.

Psst…Your numbers are talking to you—are you listening? Here's a reminder that business is emotional, and it's easy to fall into decision-making based on gut feelings. But when you know your numbers, you take back control.  In this episode of Business by the Books, Danielle Hayden, reformed corporate CFO and CEO of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., dives into the 5 essential financial numbers every business owner needs to know. This isn't just about spreadsheets; it's about stepping into your power as a CEO, removing emotional guesswork, and building a healthy, sustainable business. 5 Key Metrics for Your Business:  Know Your Rolling 12-Month Revenue: One month of income doesn't tell the full story, instead look at the full year to see growth trends and forecast with confidence.

Monitor Average Monthly Profit: This is your opportunity fund—it's what you use to pay yourself, invest back into your business, and plan for growth. Review Year-to-Date Owner's Draws & Debt Payments: These aren't reflected in profit but have a huge impact on your cash.
