On today's show we look at HDTV Display Technologies that are no longer with us. Some had a short run and some never made it to the market. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: LG pulls the plug on 8K OLED and 8K LCD TVs Apple's home hub could finally arrive this spring with a rather unique design Roku is Testing a New Home Screen With A New Look Google Home update brings more automation controls HDTV Display Technologies That Are No Longer With Us Over the 21 years we have been doing the show we have seen numerous HDTV display technologies come and go. Some never made it to market and some had a good run but were eventually beat out by something better. These technologies competed during the transition from bulky CRTs to flat panels, but most lost out as LCD, later becoming LED-backlit LCD, then OLED, became dominant for reasons like cost, scalability, picture quality improvements, and manufacturing ease. Technologies That Were Proposed/Demonstrated but Never Commercially Released to Consumers SED (Surface-Conduction Electron-Emitter Display)Developed primarily by a Canon and Toshiba joint venture starting in the late 1990s/early 2000s. It was essentially a flat-panel evolution of CRT technology using electron emitters for each pixel, promising CRT-like motion handling, deep blacks, high contrast, fast response times, and low power in a slim form factor. Prototypes were shown around 2005–2007 with impressive demos. Why it didn't make it: Repeated delays due to manufacturing challenges (high production costs, difficulty scaling/vacuum sealing), patent disputes, and aggressive price drops in LCD/plasma panels. Then by 2009–2010, LCD had become too dominant and cheap; Canon officially froze consumer SED development in 2010, shifting any remaining efforts to niche professional uses. FED (Field-Emission Display)Similar to SED and sometimes grouped together or seen as a precursor/variant. FED used field-emission electron sources (like microtips) for CRT-style performance in a flat panel. Demonstrated in prototypes in the 2000s by companies like Sony and Motorola. Why it didn't make it: Development took too long; manufacturing complexity and yield issues made it unviable. It was overtaken by faster-scaling plasma and then LCD/OLED technologies before reaching mass production. Technologies That Reached the Market but Were Discontinued DLP (Digital Light Processing) Rear-Projection TVsUsed Texas Instruments' DMD (digital micromirror device) chips to reflect light, often with a color wheel for sequential color (or pricier 3-chip versions). Popular in the mid-2000s for large-screen (50–70+ inch) HDTVs from brands like Samsung, Mitsubishi, RCA, and Toshiba, offering good brightness, no burn-in, and sharp images at competitive prices. Why discontinued: Bulky depth (even if thinner than CRT rear-projection), lamp replacements needed, rainbow artifacts (on single-chip models), poor off-angle viewing, and vulnerability to ambient light. As flat-panel LCD and plasma prices fell dramatically in the late 2000s, consumers preferred slim, wall-mountable designs. Rear-projection DLP TVs largely vanished by around 2010. LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) / Variants like D-ILA (JVC) and SXRD (Sony)A reflective microdisplay tech using liquid crystals on a silicon backplane, often in rear-projection or some front-projection setups. Offered excellent contrast, deep blacks, and smooth motion (better than early LCDs). Available in HDTVs from JVC, Sony, and others in the mid-2000s. Why largely discontinued for direct-view TVs: High cost, manufacturing complexity, and lower brightness compared to emerging flat panels. Rear-projection versions suffered the same bulkiness issues as DLP. While LCOS survives today in high-end projectors mostly in JVC and Sony home theater models, it never scaled to mainstream direct-view flat-panel HDTVs and was eclipsed by LCD advancements. Plasma Display Panel (PDP / Plasma TVs)Used ionized gas (plasma) cells to create light, excelling in black levels, contrast, color accuracy, wide viewing angles, and no motion blur. Very popular for HDTV in the 2000s from Panasonic, Pioneer, Samsung, and LG. Why discontinued: High power consumption, heat generation, heavier panels, burn-in risk (though mitigated later), and difficulty scaling to 4K efficiently/cost-effectively. As LCD/LED prices dropped with better brightness, efficiency, and no burn-in, plasma couldn't compete economically. Production fully ended around 2014–2015. Other Notable Mentions LCD Rear-Projection TVs — Used transmissive LCD panels; suffered from similar bulk and light issues as DLP; discontinued early-mid 2000s. Direct-view CRT HDTVs — The original standard; fully discontinued by the late 2000s/early 2010s due to size, weight, and inefficiency. Key Reasons Technologies Fail in HDTV Market Regardless of how good a display technology is, the following will keep it from the mass market: Cost & Manufacturing Yield: Technologies requiring ultra-precise processes (SED, FED, LCoS) couldn't hit competitive prices. Competing Technologies Improve Fast: LCD and later LED/OLED got cheaper and better quicker than rivals could scale. Form Factor Shift: Direct-view panels beat rear-projection (DLP, LCoS, laser) because consumers prefer thin TVs. Performance Tradeoffs: Issues like power use, burn-in, brightness, viewing angles, or reliability hurt consumer uptake. In summary, the winners were technologies that scaled cheaply to larger sizes, became thinner/lighter, improved efficiency, and avoided major drawbacks like high costs or reliability issues. LCD/LED dominated the 2010s due to mass production advantages, while OLED took premium segments later for superior contrast/per-pixel lighting. Many promising "next-gen" ideas from the 2000s (like SED/FED) simply arrived too late or proved too hard to manufacture affordably.

In the early 1980s, portable computers were either one of two categories. Big and functional. Or small and basic. And while there were successes within each category, you can hardly identify them as today's modern laptops. Then in 1985, the Japanese company Toshiba releases a ground-breaking laptop PC that brings it all together for the first time. In today's video, let us look back at the first commercially successful laptop PC: The Toshiba T1100 and its successors.

Remember that you can find a full transcript and links to content, including stock symbols and bonus material, on this episode's podcast page at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. Also, a reminder. I do not evaluate any of the stocks or funds mentioned in these podcasts, and I don't receive any compensation from anyone covered in these podcasts. Furthermore, I will reveal any investments I have in the investments mentioned herein. I have a huge crop of 24 articles for you in this podcast! Note: Some companies are covered more than once. Now with so many articles to potentially cover, I've chosen 6 to quote from. The other 18 can be found with their titles and links on the webpage for this podcast edition. ------------------------------------------------------------- The 2026 Global 100 list puts speed in the spotlight The first article I'm quoting from is hot off the press and is about one of my favourite company rankings! It's titled The 2026 Global 100 list puts speed in the spotlight on corporateknights.com. The introduction is by Tristan Bronca. Here's some of what he says. "As the global economic transition accelerates, more companies are recognizing that sustainability isn't just good marketing – it's good for business, too… This was the animating spirit of the new methodology behind the Corporate Knights Global 100 ranking. The revised methodology introduces 'sustainable revenue momentum' to measure how fast companies are growing their sustainable revenues. A change of method Last year, sustainable revenues and investments together accounted for 50% of the score, and the other 50% was scored across 22 common environmental, governance and social performance indicators (KPIs) such as water use, emissions, workplace fatalities, and diversity on the board and among executives. The change has reordered the deck in a big way… A dramatic departure? 'In terms of performance, the G100 companies are back in top form, beating the benchmark MSCI AWCI index over the past year,' Toby Heaps says, referring to a stock market index of 85% of global investable equities across almost 50 countries." End quotes. Incidentally, the top five companies are ERG SpA (ERG.MI), Pandora A/S (PNDORA.CO), EDP Renováveis SA (EDP.LS), Fluence Energy, Inc. (FLNC), and Taiwan High Speed Rail Corp. (2633.TW). ------------------------------------------------------------ Top 4 Clean Tech Companies to Watch in 2026 This next article brings us back to highly familiar territory.

Its title is AI infrastructure stocks Lumentum, Celestica, Seagate beat Nvidia 2025 on cnbc.com. It's by Kif Leswing. Here are some brief quotes. 1. Nvidia has been the biggest infrastructure winner in the artificial intelligence boom, soaring in value by almost thirteenfold since the end of 2022 to a market cap of $4.6 trillion. 2. Lumentum based in San Jose, California, makes switches, transceivers and other optical laser-based parts that are needed for fiber-optic cables. Customers have typically been telecommunications carriers and device makers like Apple, which previously used Lumentum parts in its FaceID sensor… Lumentum's stock price has jumped 372% this year… lifting the company's market cap past $28 billion. Sales surged 58% in the most recent quarter from a year earlier to $533 million. 3. Western Digital is one of three major hard drive manufacturers, along with Seagate and Toshiba. Shares of the 55-year-old company are up almost 300% this year… 'Data is the fuel that powers AI, and it is HDDs that provide the most reliable, scalable and cost-effective data storage solution,' CEO Irving Tan said in October on an earnings call… Revenue is expected to increase about 23% in fiscal 2026, with growth slowing to 13% in 2027. 4. Micron is one of three major memory producers, alongside Samsung and SK Hynix, but the only one based in the U.S… Analysts from Morgan Stanley said in a December note that Micron's results showed the best revenue and profit upside in the 'history of the U.S. semis industry' — aside from Nvidia. Revenue is expected to almost double in the year ending in August, before dramatically slowing to 24% in fiscal 2027 and less than 1% in 2028, according to LSEG. 5. Seagate is also benefiting from booming demand for storage. The stock is up 231% this year. Sales rose 21% to $2.63 billion in the company's fiscal third quarter, which ended Oct. 3. The company said at the time that 80% of its sales go to the data center market. 'There is no question that AI is reshaping hard drive demand by elevating the economic value of data and data storage,' CEO Dave Mosley said on a call with analysts… Analysts expect 21% revenue growth this fiscal year, followed by increases of about 15% and 6% in the next two years, according to LSEG. 6. Celestica founded in 1994 as an IBM subsidiary, makes switches that connect networks together and manage the data and traffic flowing through them. The stock is up more than 230% this year… Analysts at Goldman Sachs wrote in a note Friday that Celestica supplies parts for Google's ASIC. 'The company should benefit in 2026 from being the leading provider of Google TPU rack level solutions,' the analysts wrote."

Quantum Corridor and Toshiba announced the demonstration of the first cross-state Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) over a live commercial metro fiber network, and I had questions about it. What's the significance of crossing a state line? What was the real-world use case? What do they mean by “no quantum specialists required”? Why are they targeting QKD in the United States? So, we agreed to hop on a podcast together and get some answers. “Quantum Corridor, Toshiba demonstrate first cross-state Quantum Key Distribution over live commercial metro fiber network” Ryan Lafler (LinkedIn), President & CTO of Quantum Corridor Terry Cronin (LinkedIn), VP of Business Development and QKD Evangelist at Toshiba International Corporation Quantum Corridor (website) Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc.

Today's horror story is a little different—it focuses not on a client, but on our speaker himself: Ron Reich, Founder of RLB Training & Development. Years ago, while working at an HR consulting firm, Ron received a surprising call from someone in Dallas who told him he was "the opposite of what he said he was." Odd as it sounded, the call turned out to be life-changing—the man was offering Ron an opportunity to become a trainer and facilitator at Toshiba, a dream role he had long aspired to. Soon after, Ron was tasked with leading a five-day product knowledge sales training class. While he excelled at the training aspect, his lack of product knowledge quickly showed. By day three, two attendees walked out, and Ron was later berated by his boss's boss for being unprepared. The painful experience became a defining lesson for him: no matter how skilled you are, preparation is everything. Tune in to hear how Ron turned this low point into a cornerstone of his growth as a leader and trainer. Morgan FriedmanRon's WebsiteRon's LinkedInRon's InstagramRon's Facebook

At the Via LA 2025 Bridge Summit in San Francisco, Clause 8 host Eli Mazour sat down with two leaders who play pivotal roles in connecting innovators and licensees around the world:* Jane Bu, Chief Licensing Officer at Via LA, the world's largest patent pool. (You can listen to Eli's previous conversation with Via's President, Heath Hoglund, here).* Rob Tobias, CEO & President of HDMI LA, the organization formed by Hitachi, Matsushita, Maxell, Philips, Silicon Image, Sony, Thomson and Toshiba to manage and promote the now ubiquitous HDMI interface.In this episode, the discussion turns to the difficulties of licensing in Asia — not as an abstract policy topic, but as a practical reality shaped by culture, relationships, and business expectations.Jane Bu reflects on how negotiations in Asian markets often rely less on formal processes and more on mutual trust built through repeated, in-person engagement. She also discusses China's transformation from a latecomer in IP to one of the most active and sophisticated licensing environments in the world — and why patience and long-term relationship-building remain essential for licensors and licensees alike.From a different perspective, Rob Tobias explains how HDMI's licensing framework relies on more than patents alone. He outlines how trademarks and brand protection have played a central role in ensuring compliance, maintaining quality, and driving global adoption of the HDMI standard — including in complex markets such as China and India.Together, their insights highlight how successful licensing in Asia depends as much on understanding people and context as it does on legal or technical structures.

This miniseries is all about rhythm - rhythm games, that is. We recognize that three middle-aged white guys may not be the best option to talk about this episode's game so we asked local (and international) legends Chris Austin and Leon Brunson to give us an insight into the strategy, gameplay, and tournament scene of Konami's Dance Dance Revolution. What kind of hardware do Leon and Chris (literally) bring to the table? How many times have we moved Adam's DDR? What ever happened to Toshiba? Did we identify the perfect footwear for home DDR play? Questions this episode include what arcade game perfectly captures the spirit of Florida and what was our first arcade and pinball fix.

Oral Arguments for the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Automotive Industries Pension Trust Fund v. Toshiba Corporation
In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, Duncan Kane, Senior Vice President at Toshiba America, shares insights from nearly two decades of working at the intersection of industry and education. Drawing from his leadership in STEM outreach, Duncan explains why Toshiba sees early STEM engagement not just as a good cause—but as a strategic investment in the future of innovation and the workforce.One way Toshiba brings this vision to life is through its long-standing partnership with the National Science Teaching Association on ExploraVision, a science competition that challenges K–12 students to design technologies 20 years into the future. But as Duncan explains, the program isn't really about competition—it's about creativity, purpose, and helping students see themselves as future innovators. The conversation explores what happens when kids take ownership of real-world problems, the importance of dreaming big (with or without big budgets), and how industry can play a more active role in developing STEM talent.Listen to learn:Why students are more innovative when they don't know what's “impossible”How choosing personally meaningful problems changes how kids approach STEMWhat happens when students design technology for the year 2045Why Toshiba believes building a STEM pipeline starts in your own backyardWhat schools risk losing when STEM programs are first on the chopping block3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Students come up with more creative solutions when they haven't yet learned what's “impossible.” Duncan explains that younger students are often more willing to dream big because they haven't developed the cynicism or constraints that come with adulthood. In ExploraVision, fifth graders have proposed ideas like AI-powered glasses that interpret sign language and wearable devices to predict seizures—solutions rooted in bold thinking, not technical limitations.2. When students choose problems that matter to them, STEM learning becomes personal and powerful. Many teams in ExploraVision choose issues they've encountered firsthand, like a relative's epilepsy or local environmental concerns. That personal connection drives deeper engagement and creativity, whether it's robotic honeybees to help pollinate crops or fire-resistant materials inspired by mushrooms.3. Building a future STEM workforce doesn't require a billion-dollar initiative—it starts locally. Duncan urges companies to start in their own communities, supporting local students and educators in ways that feel personal and authentic. Toshiba's partnership with NSTA and the success of ExploraVision demonstrate how consistent, community-rooted efforts can scale to national impact—reaching 450,000 students over 33 years.Resources in this Episode:To learn more about ExploraVision, visit: exploravision.orgExploraVision partner NSTA (National Science Teaching Association): nsta.orgAdditional resources from this episodeExploraVision Winners: See details on this year's winners + previous yearsDiscover more from the We want to hear from you!

North Korean IT Worker Fraud Scheme:The U.S. Department of Justice uncovered a covert North Korean operation involving IT workers fraudulently securing remote jobs at over 100 American tech companies using stolen or fake identities. These workers operated within U.S.-based "laptop farms" and created shell companies to obscure over $5 million in illicit earnings. Funds were funneled to the North Korean government, supporting weapons development. The scheme also involved data theft, including sensitive source code from a U.S. defense contractor.Android 16 Anti-Surveillance Feature:Android 16 introduces a “network notification” security upgrade that alerts users when their device connects to suspicious or unencrypted cell networks. It specifically guards against fake cell towers, such as stingray devices, by warning users about network requests for identifiers or lack of encryption, enhancing protection from mobile surveillance and forced downgrades to insecure protocols.Critical Printer Vulnerabilities:Rapid7 researchers identified eight major vulnerabilities affecting printers from Brother, Ricoh, Toshiba, Konica Minolta, and Fujifilm. The most critical flaw (CVE-2024-51978) lets remote attackers bypass admin authentication by exploiting a companion vulnerability (CVE-2024-51977) that reveals the printer's serial number—used to generate default admin credentials. This enables unauthorized reconfiguration and access to stored sensitive documents.Microsoft Authenticator Password Phase-Out:Microsoft will remove password autofill and access features from its Authenticator app starting July 2025. The move supports a transition to passwordless sign-ins using biometrics (e.g., facial recognition, fingerprints) and passkeys, aligning with industry shifts toward stronger, phishing-resistant authentication methods.NIH Open-Access Research Mandate:A new U.S. NIH policy mandates that all taxpayer-funded research be freely accessible upon publication. This accelerates an open-access directive initiated under Biden and implemented during the Trump administration. The policy enhances public access to scientific discoveries and may enable AI tools to help interpret complex studies for broader audiences.Pro-Scottish Independence Account Shutdowns:On June 12, multiple X (formerly Twitter) accounts advocating for Scottish independence vanished in sync with an Israeli cyber strike on Iran. The timing and scope of internet outages in Iran imply that the accounts were likely Iranian-run disinformation tools designed to destabilize the UK under the guise of grassroots political advocacy.Facebook Camera Roll Upload Concerns:Facebook is asking users to opt in to uploading unshared photos from their camera roll to Meta's servers to enable AI-generated content (e.g., collages). While Meta states that content remains private and isn't used for advertising, users must accept AI Terms that permit facial recognition, retention of loosely defined personal data, and potential human review—raising serious privacy concerns over intimate, unshared images.Meta's AI Superlab Push:Meta has launched “Meta Superintelligence Labs” and is heavily investing in top AI talent, reportedly offering compensation packages in the $10 million range. This underscores Meta's ambition to lead in high-end AI development, marking its entry into the elite tier of the global “AI arms race” beyond consumer-facing chatbots.

Fort Bragg City Council Hears Annual Reports on Crime Statistics, Homeless Programs, and Stray Animals The April 14th City Council meeting was lightly attended. It's not clear if an error on the agenda itself was partially to blame. The Zoom meeting link was missing the passcode, making remote participation impossible, although streaming was available. Emails to the city clerk were responded to with the correct link. Two annual reports, one from the Fort Bragg Police Department and one from the Mendocino Coast Humane Society, provided insights into crime rates and the number of stray animals.Chief Cervenka provided crime statistics for 2024. The police responded to over 15000 calls, which resulted in 1166 reports, 514 arrests, and 315 traffic citations. They seized 8.75 pounds of illegal drugs and 26 firearms. There were 106 vehicle collisions, of which 8 were due to DUIs. In general, crime decreased locally except for domestic violence, which increased by 53%. Chief Cervenka said the increase was due to better training of his officers, who are making more arrests, and the victims' access to post-pandemic assistance.Chief Cervenka also provided an update on the extreme weather shelter for this past winter. The extreme weather shelter is run by the police department through their Crisis Response Unit (CRU) program, which facilitates helping houseless individuals off the street and into housing. The extreme weather shelter operates from November 15th to March 31st and is opened based on precipitation and temperature as predicted by the National Weather Service. The shelter operated 83 out of the possible 136 operational days, provided beds 644 times for 107 individuals. The emergency shelter handles overflow from the hospitality house, which maintains 25 beds. Although there was an increased need for beds this past winter, there was a 15% drop in individuals needing help. Cervenka attributed that to the police department's homeless housing program, or CRU.

We've both gotten our hands on CRT televisions recently--Will's one from his youth and Brad's a much more modern set--and we've spent a bunch of time tinkering with them, getting our MiSTers to play nicely with them, and generally enjoying some warm analog video. On this week's ep we dig into our time reacquainting ourselves with what TVs used to be like, with a freewheeling conversation that touches on all kinds of minutiae like when it might be time to replace your aging set's capacitors, trying to understand signal standards from RGsB to YPbPr, remembering the time when the only inputs on your TV were a couple of screws, and a bunch more.Will's TV: General Electric 10AB3406WF02Brad's TV: https://crtdatabase.com/crts/toshiba/toshiba-14af42This is a great teardown and servicing video for the Toshiba: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ij0i-xnvic Support the Pod!

On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey are joined by Matt Franz. Matt is founder and principal of Eagle Point Capital. The registered investment adviser aims to build wealth in the long term while avoiding the permanent loss of capital. Matt kicks off the show by describing Eagle Point Capital's ownership mentality for buying stocks and what qualities he looks for in a company. As he explains, businesses that have very simple unit economics and that are noncyclical tend to be the best. He also zeroes in on specific metrics to evaluate stocks, the importance of owning businesses that reinvest capital, and his "replication mode" method for assessing a company's future potential. (1:41) Next, Matt talks about whether brands can be economic moats. He urges investors not to conflate brand awareness with pricing power, using consumer-electronics company Toshiba as an example. This leads to a conversation about luxury brands, why Matt prefers distributors to retailers, and why he only invests in companies worth 10 times earnings or less. Matt then breaks down his long-term focus, discussing intrinsic value and giving listeners a reality check. (17:10) Finally, Matt highlights the discipline it takes to be a long-term value investor, as it's human nature to want to add more to a position when it's soaring or sell shares on bad news. However, when you own good businesses, it's best to sit on your hands and do nothing. Matt also shares some guidelines Eagle Point Capital follows when searching for stocks in terms of market cap, industry, risk factor, and cyclicality. (37:53)

I want to share my journey of discovering a new career in my 60s, which led me to a community filled with warmth and compassion, where the joy of making art binds us. This experience has shown me how creativity can be a powerful path to mindfulness and inner peace. I'm excited to share the beauty and serenity it has brought into my life. https://www.glassartscollective.com/ https://www.instagram.com/glassartscollective https://www.facebook.com/glassartscollective https://www.youtube.com/@glassartscollective https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancymarks/ Transitioning From Corporate to Glass Art Studio Michael and Nancy discussed Nancy's transition from a corporate career to running a glass art studio. Nancy shared her experience of stress and burnout in the corporate world, attributing it to her logical thinking style and the inability to find a creative outlet. She mentioned working for big names like IBM, Toshiba, Sony Pictures, and ABC. Nancy emphasized the importance of asking questions and seeking improvements in the workplace. She also expressed regret for not finding her creative sanctuary earlier in life. Michael encouraged Nancy to continue pursuing her passion for glass art and acknowledged the positive impact of creativity on mental health. Exploring Career Changes and Personal Growth Michael and Nancy discussed their career changes and the importance of self-reflection and exploration. Michael, who initially pursued a career in public accounting, shared his realization that he needed a change. Nancy, who initially believed she lacked creativity, discovered her passion for working with fuse glass. Both emphasized the importance of giving oneself permission to change directions and explore new interests. They also discussed the process of working with fuse glass, which involves breaking glass and stacking pieces in a kiln at a temperature of 1,500 degrees. Embracing Imperfections in Glass Art and Teaching Nancy shared her passion for glass art, emphasizing the importance of embracing imperfections and respecting the material. She described her teaching approach as helping people understand the beauty in uniqueness and the joy of creating one-of-a-kind pieces. Michael appreciated Nancy's perspective and shared his own thoughts on the importance of focusing on dreams rather than worries. He also expressed his growing appreciation for the arts, mentioning his love for music and his interest in visiting art studios and museums. Exploring Art, Stories, and Singular Focus Michael shared his perspective on art and the stories it tells, emphasizing the importance of understanding the choices and reasoning behind a piece. He used the example of a sculpture by Picasso to illustrate this point. Michael also shared a personal story about a paper mache bottle he made in 6th grade, which his mother kept and his brother now has. He reflected on the process of creating the bottle, highlighting the singular focus required for such tasks. Nancy agreed, noting the benefits of single focus and the decline of multitasking as a valuable skill. Exploring Paper Mache and Stress Relief Michael and Nancy discussed their past experiences with paper mache and the potential for future projects. Michael expressed interest in trying the project again, possibly with his wife, and suggested adding more color to the project. Nancy shared her stress-relieving experiences at her studio, where she focuses on her work and decompresses. She also mentioned the occasional breakage of glass in the kilns, but reassured that the broken glass is often reused to create something new. The conversation ended with Michael drawing parallels between the creation of byproducts in cost accounting and the potential for scraps to create something magical. Exploring Art Therapy and Creative Outlets Michael and Nancy discussed the therapeutic benefits of creating art, such as reduced stress and improved perspective. Nancy shared how customers are amazed by their creations, even if they claim to lack creativity initially. Michael suggested that being creative leads to clarity in other aspects of life. Nancy recommended finding simple creative outlets like doodling or gardening to boost well-being and happiness. They emphasized that engaging in creative activities can positively impact one's mindset and understanding of others. Fused Glass Artist's Work and Promotion Michael and Nancy had a lively conversation about Nancy's work as a fused glass artist. Nancy shared her website, gift shop, and social media handles, encouraging everyone to visit and support her unique, handmade art.
