Most beginners dramatically overestimate how much capital it takes, and that belief alone keeps them stuck. The truth is, the number you think you need is probably wrong, and the small deal you keep dismissing might be the one that transforms everything.

The temp spikes. The humidity climbs. Your sterile storage alarms go off—now what? In this episode of Beyond Clean's Tray Command, we sit down with Senior Infection Preventionist Stephen Rusbarsky to explore the brand-new ASHRAE 43 guideline and what it means for Sterile Processing.

Send us a messageA holiday weekend should be simple—family, food, and a safe drive home—but life rarely stays tidy. We kick off with Sunday energy, big thank-yous, and a plan that's equal parts brave and reckless: deep-frying a turkey for the first time. The laughter is real, the caution is realer, and the tip is timeless—lower the bird slowly and keep your eyebrows.From there, the conversation shifts gears into everyday tech and why one of us finally left iPhone for Samsung. Storage nags, clunky updates, and unreliable speech-to-text pushed us over the edge, while Gboard, Google Pay, and strong cameras made the landing soft. It's not about brands; it's about tools that don't fight you. If you drive for work or live in your messages, you'll feel this one.The mood deepens when a guest cancels and we confront our own language and beliefs. We question Bible translations, missing books, and what it means to live by simple, durable values—tell the truth, avoid harm, keep faith personal and practiced. Then we zoom back out to the noise beyond our door: strange booms in the night, rumor engines, political promises no mayor can deliver, crime that tests trust, and the constant urge to blame instead of fix. We don't solve it all, but we keep the center solid: safety, accountability, and compassion.We close with warmth—Rock Hall moments, the White Stripes' awkward history, first heartbreaks, and advice to our kids to guard their hearts and focus on school. It's nostalgic without getting stuck, honest without getting harsh. If you're here for family stories, real talk on faith and tech, and a few hard-won smiles before Thanksgiving, you're in the right place.Enjoy the ride, share it with a friend, and stay safe this week.

When we think of paper flowers, we often imagine something small, intricate, and realistic. But what happens when you scale that beauty up tenfold? In this episode of Paper Talk, Quynh Nguyen, Sara Kim, and Jessie Chui explore the bold, beautiful world of large paper flowers and the practical realities that come with going big. Listen to this Episode to learn: Why large flowers require careful structural planning How to price and protect your work (and yourself) The importance of weather, shipping, and storage considerations Creative ways to include large flowers in your business offerings Creating giant paper flowers is both an artistic and logistical challenge. As Quynh shared, even the smallest miscalculation can cause a flower to droop or collapse. “I watched one of my large flowers start to wilt before my eyes,” she said. “I had to go back and rewire it.” Wiring each petal, reinforcing the base, and using durable materials are essential steps for any large-scale project. For Sara, the biggest lessons came from experience. “Even when my flowers stood perfectly in my studio, they would tip over at outdoor events. Wind, heat, and humidity change everything,” she explained. Over time, she realized that offering large flower installations professionally required more than artistic skill, it required business planning, insurance, and honest client communication. Jessie agreed, adding that the paper flower business side of things can't be ignored. “It's not just about making the flower,” she said. “It's about managing logistics, installation, and liability. Once you step into larger projects, you're responsible for safety and presentation.” So, what should artists know before offering giant paper flowers for events or retail displays? Structure Comes First - Use strong wiring, test every connection, and consider how gravity will affect your flower over time. Hanging or standing pieces should be tested for at least 24 hours before installation. Communicate Clearly with Clients - Set expectations about weather sensitivity and handling. As Sara put it, “Treat paper flowers like real flowers—they're beautiful but fragile.” Plan for Storage and Transport - Large flowers take up significant space. Think about storage, dust protection, and packaging. If you must ship, factor in both the size and fragility—shipping costs can quadruple quickly. Protect Your Business - Event venues often require liability insurance, especially for installations. “Even if you're just setting up a backdrop,” Jessie noted, “you need coverage in case something happens.” Start with One Big Bloom - If you're new to large-scale work, start small. Make one flower for yourself. It's fun, forgiving, and will teach you about scale, structure, and creativity. Despite the hurdles, large flowers remain a showstopper. They command attention, tell stories, and redefine what paper art can be. Whether they're adorning a wedding ceremony, retail window, or photo backdrop, these flowers remind us that art can bloom in any size. As Quynh summed it up beautifully, “Paper flowers can bloom in every size. The key is knowing how to make them stand tall.”

What to do when decades of work are stacked against your walls and you can't remember the last time you made a decision about any of it.You know that feeling when you walk into your studio and see paintings leaning against every wall, flat files overflowing, canvases stacked so deep you've forgotten what's in the back?And underneath it all, that low hum of dread: What's going to happen to all of this?Maybe you've been making work for decades. Grad school pieces, late-night sessions after the kids went to sleep, that stretch when you were working two jobs and still carved out time to paint. It's all still there. And now you're standing in front of it thinking: Did I just waste my best work in obscurity? What was I even making it for?This episode is about how to sort through decades of accumulated work without spiraling into paralysis, and how to turn your studio back into a place where things are happening, not just stored.In this episode:The real reason you can't throw anything away. (Your brain is still waiting to find out if that painting meant something, or if it was just a phase.)Why every painting you haven't decided about is costing you more than shelf space.A 30-minute sorting system that makes the mess feel manageableTwo questions that actually help you decide what stays and what goes. How to tell the difference between a painting that wants to be seen and one that already did its job.The “curate your own retrospective” game, and why pretending you have a show makes you braver, faster, more ruthless (in a good way).What happens when you group your work by something other than chronology, like color, texture, feeling, or that weird leaf shape you kept doodling for three years and forgot about.This episode's for you if:Your studio feels more like a storage unit than a sanctuary You've been making work for years, but the question “What if no one ever sees this?” leaves you deflatedYou don't want to leave your kids (or your executor) shelves full of unresolved choicesYou know there's good work in there. You just need a way to see it clearly again — and decide what it's still here to doDo you spend more time thinking about making art than actually making it? Start things you never finish? Make work and then stack it against the wall, facing inward, so you don't have to look at it?If any of that sounds familiar, I'd love to chat.Click here: savvypainter.com/survey to tell me what's going on.
