Text your thoughts and questions!Have you ever tried traditional time blocking only to find it too rigid, frustrating, or just plain boring? The one-size-fits-all approach to productivity often ignores the realities of our busy, unpredictable lives, leading to guilt and a feeling of failure when things don't go according to plan. What if you could design a time management system that is not only effective but also fun, flexible, and perfectly suited to your unique brain?In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I show you how to move past the traditional, rigid idea of time blocking and create a personalized, compassionate approach I call "flex blocking". You will discover how adding play and personality to your schedule can help you overcome resistance and achieve your goals without the frustration.I cover the following topics:Why traditional time blocking can feel frustrating and rigid, especially for those with high demands or low energy.The benefits of time blocking, such as reducing decision fatigue and creating boundaries for your time.How "flex blocking" uses fun, personalized themes and categories to make your schedule feel more like a game than a chore.Why this approach works so well with our brains, which are wired for pattern recognition and story.Practical steps for getting started, including how to review your week and use color coding to visualize your balance.Ready to plan your days your way? Find a time blocking system that is fun, flexible, and truly functional for your life.Thank you for listening!

W czasie II wojny, prawdopodobnie jesienią 1943 roku, w lesie w okolicach Janowa Lubelskiego, upadł niemiecki pocisk V2 lub V1 Prawdopodobnie, bo pojawiały się opinie, że miejsce to, czyli lej z wodą, to ślad po upadku meteorytu. Jednak wydarzenie to zapadło w pamięć, nielicznym jużnajstarszym mieszkańcom okolicznych wsi. Latem 2016 roku, grupa naukowców, pod kierunkiem Muzeum Regionalnego w Janowie Lubelskim, postanowiła przebadać ten teren.W audycji (z 2016 r.) głos zabierają:   - Barbara Nazarewicz- kierownik Muzeum Regionalnego w Janowie Lubelskim- dr Dominiki Szulc – historyk- dr Łukasz Chabudziński – z Wydziału Nauk o Ziemi z pracowni Geoinformacji UMCS - Agnieszka Fac- archeolog z Muzeum Regionalnego w Janowie, która nadzorowała prace na uroczysku „Bomba”- Wiesław Oszust – który użyczył łodzi do poszukiwań śladów rakiety- Piotr Wic – uczestnik badań archeologicznych- Stanisław Malinowski, Stefan Pikula, Jan Rząd -mieszkańcy miejscowości Świnki - Stanisław Ładziak i Feliks Wereski - byli więźniowie obozu w Pustkowie położonym w pobliżu wyrzutni rakiet w Bliźnie, mieszkańcy Zdziłowic;- Edward Jarosz – żołnierz Narodowych Sił Zbrojnych, AK, ps. „Mały”, mieszkaniec Białej, brat Adama Jarosza komendanta Placówki, który zabrał części od rakiety V1, która upadła na Podlaskach- Zbigniew Michalczyk – z Gminnego Centrum Kultury i Promocji odział w Zdziłowicach, który pomógł w dotarciu do byłych więźniów obozu w Pustkowie

Text your thoughts and questions!Do you feel like you constantly need to push forward and that non-stop work equals peak productivity? The truth is, relentless doing often leads straight to burnout, not true effectiveness. Many of us struggle to give ourselves permission to take a break, fearing it will derail our progress.In this re-released episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I revisit the powerful, science-backed benefits of pausing. Discover how deliberately stepping away from your work can help your mind process, rejuvenate, and reset, leading to improved focus, enhanced problem-solving, higher quality output, and reduced stress.I cover the following topics:The importance of pausing to improve focus and combat decision fatigue.How stepping away from problems allows your brain to find better solutions.Why regular breaks prevent mistakes and lead to higher quality work.How pausing triggers your relaxation response, reducing chronic stress and improving decision-making.The science behind why our brains need cycles of focus and rest to avoid cognitive fatigue and boost creativity.Practical ways to incorporate pauses into your day, including timed sprints, physical movement, and mindfulness.The next time you find yourself in a whirlwind of work, remember that a pause is not a sign of weakness; it's the very thing you need to be your most productive self.Thank you for listening!

I have to admit, even I got stuck...Recently, I was working on the onboarding journey for my Circle community.What started as a flexible journey inside a Miro board very quickly became a complex map that became impossible to use. With every new insight we wanted to add came questions about where it should go and how it should be defined. Due to these meta-level questions, we lost momentum, and the entire process slowed to a halt. Unintentionally, I had created a journey structure that was simply too complex to be useful in practice.Finding the right balance between structure and flexibility, as well as richness and overview, in your journeys is a challenge many of us face. That's why it's the next big problem we tackle in our Journey Management Playbook series.In the past episodes, we've used AI to generate a journey and then verified it to build trust. Now, we need to make it truly manageable.The core issue is that we often treat journey maps as containers for all information, when their true power lies in driving action. So, as we've said often, we need to shift our mindset from "journey mapping" to "journey management".The key is a simple yet powerful framework for structuring your journey. * What if the most effective journey had a specific, limited number of lanes?* What if there was a rule for how many steps you should have (maximum)?* What if there was a simple way to handle complexity without cluttering your main map?In this episode, Tingting reveals the proven framework that helps you answer these questions.With this framework, you'll be able to transform your map from a static document into a practical tool that teams can use to make informed decisions.Heads-up, this is another deep-dive where we get into the nitty-gritty details. We spend a lot of time sharing our screen, so if you're listening to the audio-only version, I highly recommend opening the accompanying slides to follow along visually. We've also included timestamps in the description, so you can easily jump back to a specific topic later on.Be well, ~ Marc--- [ 1.

Dans cet épisode d'Ose ta V2 passe le micro, j'ai eu la joie de recevoir Julie Souchard.Coach professionnelle accréditée ICF, maman de 3 enfants,ex-Directrice du développement RH et surtout une femmeprofondément engagée pour celles et ceux qui, comme elle, a longtemps vécue son hypersensibilité comme un fardeau.→ Une hyperémotivité qui déborde→ Une surcharge mentale qui épuise→ Et cette petite voix qui souffle “tu es trop…”Aujourd'hui, elle a fait de cette singularité un levier de transformation pour elle, comme pour les autres.Dans cet épisode, elle nous partage :Comment elle a quitté un poste sécurisant pour créer un accompagnement qui lui ressemble,Comment elle aide aujourd'hui d'autres personnes à cesser de se suradapter pour enfin être pleinement elles-mêmes.On parle de reconversion, de passage à l'action, de valeurs, et de cette fameuse bascule intérieure qui change tout pas forcément bruyante, mais profondément vraie.Julie incarne à merveille ce que signifie « oser sa version 2.0 » : une version plus libre, plus alignée, plus vivante. J'espère que son parcours t'inspirera autant qu'il m'atouchée.Je vous souhaite une bonne écoute à toutes et tous ! Noura

Text your thoughts and questions!Do you find yourself constantly putting off tasks, searching for distractions instead of focusing on what needs to be done? We all experience procrastination, and it's not a personal flaw. It often comes from a lack of motivation, clarity, or energy, not a lack of desire or work ethic.This week, in episode 271 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I explore why we avoid tasks and, more importantly, how to get yourself to forge ahead. Learn practical strategies to bypass resistance and start taking action on your goals.I cover the following topics:How procrastination stems from factors like perfectionism, task aversion, or decision fatigue, not laziness.Focusing on starting tasks, even using the two-minute rule for quick wins, to build momentum.Using short sprints with timers to tackle bigger projects, making the work less daunting.Proactively eliminating or deferring distractions like phone notifications and cluttered environments.Rewarding yourself after completing tasks to create positive associations and boost motivation.The option to start with a fun activity as a strategic bridge to energize yourself before less appealing tasks.Ready to stop avoiding and start doing? Pick one strategy to try today and see how easily you can begin.Thank you for listening!

Pour l'épisode de cette semaine, je reçois Alexandre Barroux, CEO et cofondateur de Bonx.Bonx, c'est un ERP industriel nouvelle génération, pensé pour les PME, qui se déploie en 5 à 6 semaines seulement, et qui permet une personnalisation en profondeur des processus industriels grâce à une approche no-code et des fonctionnalités avancées d'IA.Avec Alexandre, on revient sur son parcours : ses débuts chez OSS Ventures où il travaillait sur le product et le go-to-market de startups industrielles, jusqu'à la création de Bonx avec son associé Rémi. Il nous explique comment ils ont identifié une opportunité sur le marché des ERP, historiquement dominé par des mastodontes comme SAP ou Dynamics, peu adaptés aux PME modernes.On a parlé produit : de leur positionnement volontairement focalisé sur l'opérationnel (production, supply chain, stock) sans gérer la compta ni le CRM, de leur approche “opinionated” et modulaire, de leur V2 lancée récemment, mais aussi de leur vision IA pour automatiser des tâches comme l'ordonnancement de production ou la lecture automatique de commandes.On a aussi beaucoup parlé Go-To-Market : comment ils ciblent des PME industrielles ambitieuses, pourquoi ils ont choisi une stratégie commerciale directe, comment ils gèrent l'expansion géographique (France, Italie, Espagne) et leur ambition d'ouvrir les US en 2026. On a aussi parlé de leur levée de fonds récente auprès du fonds anglo-américain 9900.Vous pouvez suivre Alexandre sur LinkedIn.Bonne écoute !Mentionnés pendant l'épisode :OSS VenturesCognixPennyLaneHubSpotPodcast Revenue BuildersStart to Scale de Thibault Renouf (mentionné indirectement)Pour soutenir SaaS Connection en 1 minute⏱ (et 2 secondes) :Abonnez-vous à SaaS Connection sur votre plateforme préférée pour ne rater aucun épisode

We also had a very big open source week, we had the pleasure to chat with the creators of 3 open source models on the show, first with Elie from HuggingFace who just released SmoLM3, then with our friend Maxime Labonne who together with Liquid released a beautiful series of tiny on device models. Finally we had a chat with folks from Reka AI, and as they were on stage, someone in their org published a new open source Reka Flash model

Text your thoughts and questions!When someone hears that I'm a productivity coach, the immediate expectation seems to be that I'll discuss planners, calendars, tasks, habits, and time management with them. While we do eventually discuss those things, they are NOT the first things we cover. I like to start with personal assessments. Why? Because the most effective and sustainable systems come from the person, not the planner, platform, or tool. And the Big 5 Personality Quiz (aka the Five Factor or OCEAN assessment) is one of my favorite places to start! This week, episode 267 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about how the Big 5 Personality Quiz helps you achieve more!In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I'm sharing why getting to know yourself through your strengths, values, and personality (to figure out how you naturally operate) is a foundational step to achieving what you truly want in life. I provide actionable advice to leverage these traits so you can work smarter, not harder. The Big Five personality traits are:Openness - How open a person is to new ideas and experiences.Conscientiousness - How goal-directed, persistent, and organized a person is.Extraversion - How much a person is energized by the outside world.Agreeableness - How much a person puts others' interests and needs ahead of their own.Neuroticism - How sensitive a person is to stress and negative emotional triggers.Take the first step towards a more productive life today!

En el último año de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Adolf Hitler dirigió la atención de la Alemania nazi hacia las llamadas «armas de venganza»: la bomba voladora V1 y el imparable cohete V2, con ellas la labor de los bombarderos ya no era necesaria pero aún así fue un bombardero el que dejó caer de sus bodegas el arma más destructiva de la historia sobre las ciudades japonesas de Hiroshima y Nagasaki, la bomba atómica. Los siguiente años la combinación de los cohetes con la bomba atómica dará como resultado al misil nuclear, el arma que destronará al bombardero en la cima del armamento de guerra.

Text your thoughts and questions!Pride is something that we, as a society, have somehow come to see as a negative, linking it to being boastful and “full of oneself,” when in reality, it simply means believing in your self-worth. When you believe in your worth, it encourages you to live authentically, which in turn, does amazing things for your goals and your life. A goal of mine is to help people step into the most authentic version of themselves so they can live in a way that aligns with their values and strengths, aka the key to a productive and positive life. This week, episode 266 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about how pride makes you more productive!In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I share the connection between pride and productivity, offering real-life examples and giving you actionable steps to take right now to embrace your uniqueness and adapt your productivity techniques in a way that works for YOU. I cover the following topics:Redefining the word pride: it's more than just boastfulness. The neuroscience behind the connection of authenticity and productivity. Advice on unlocking your unique productivity (with real-life examples).The Dunning-Kruger cognitive bias (and how that might negatively impact productivity).  Remember, you are born worthy.

What's the Latest on The Feeling Great App? Featuring Jason Meno and Adam Holman  Adam Holman and his loving cat! The featured photo is Jason Meno, also a cat lover! Today we focus on a number of exciting updates in the Feeling Great app, and are delighted to be joined by our esteemed colleagues, Jason Meno and Adam Holman who have recently created and launched to new V2 version of the Feeling Great chatbot, which includes greatly increased horsepower, in terms of rapid and dramatic reductions in 7 negative feelings, including feelings of depression, anxiety, guilt / shame, inadequacy, loneliness, hopelessness / discouragement, and anger. The latest data indicates reductions of more than 60% in all of these feelings within the first 90 minutes of chatbot use in most new users, and more than 70% reductions in repeat uses in the same amount of time. This is absolutely phenomenal and far surpasses my expectations 50 years ago when I first imagined and visualized this app. In addition, the new version of the app also causes fairly dramatic increases in seven positive feelings at the same time--a highly desirable feature that was lacking in most previous versions of the app. Jason and Adam also described a number of exciting, user-friendly features like two-way verbal communication with the app so you no longer have to type your dialogues (although you can if you prefer that mode.) Another new feature is long term memory, so the bot will remember you and be able to summarize your previous sessions, and more. In addition, to illustrate exactly HOW the app works, we did a live demonstration with Jason, who has been struggling with several of his negative thoughts, like "This app might not reach the hundred of millions of people around the world who need it." His belief in this thought was 80%, and the thought triggered strong feelings of hopelessness, sadness, guilt, anxiety, frustration, anger, and inadequacy.  This is a valid concern since we must rapidly boost sales if we hope to break even and stay in business, We tried a number of methods that weren't effective, following the app's philosophy of 'failing as fast as we can," including Positive Reframing and Paradoxical Magnification, that did not help at all. In fact, Positive Reframing simply triggered increased resistance. Then we tried a method that has been really helpful for Jason in the past, Externalization of Resistance, and he was able to successfully challenge all the really GOOD reasons to cling to his negative thoughts. At the end, his belief in the thought was reduced from 80% to 20%, which was satisfactory to Jason as he said that some worrying is realistic and keeps him on his toes continually adding amazing new features to the app. If you've been struggling with low self-esteem or negative feelings or low self-esteem, you might want to check the latest version of the Feeling Great app. You can take a free ride and check it out. You've got absolutely nothing to lose but a couple hours of your time, and a life of greater joy and happiness to gain. Rhonda, Jason, Adam, and I appreciate all of you, and thank you for joining us today!

Wernher von Braun, cerveau du programme spatial américain, a offert aux États-Unis leur plus grande victoire symbolique de la guerre froide : la conquête de la Lune. Mais derrière cette réussite technique se cache un passé glaçant. Ancien membre du parti nazi et officier SS, il a dirigé les programmes de missiles V2, construits par des déportés dans des conditions atroces. Responsable indirect de milliers de morts, von Braun est récupéré par les Américains dès 1945, via l'opération Paperclip. Scientifique génial, mais moralement ambigu, il deviendra une figure incontournable de la NASA. Jusqu'à sa mort, il restera un homme double : héros pour les uns, criminel impuni pour les autres. Ce récit interroge : peut-on dissocier le génie de ses compromissions ?

In this episode of the Cyber Uncut podcast, David Hollingworth and Daniel Croft have a chat about everything, from the NSW government's new drive to use AI to solve the housing crisis to deepfake takedowns, who may or may not be behind the hacking campaign targeting big-name UK retailers (still!), security issues at the Australian Taxation Office, and the relaunch of HaveIBeenPwned. Hollingworth and Croft start off with positive AI-related news, starting with the Trump administration's decision to enact new laws regarding deepfake and revenge porn, before swivelling to the NSW state government's plan to use AI to help address a housing construction backlog and grow the workforce. Then it's straight into cyber crime, with more twists and turns from the highly disruptive hacking campaign targeting UK retailers. The pair discuss why one chain is leaking money like a sieve as it tries to rebuild, and why another is getting back on its feet. It's a lesson everyone can learn from. Hollingworth and Croft wrap up this section of the podcast with a discussion of the ATO's issues with identity theft following revelations that hackers had compromised some individual accounts and stolen funds. The pair wrap things up with news of one of their favourite research tools – HaveIBeenPwned – launching a V2 of its website, and how useful it is for average consumers and researchers alike.

Text your thoughts and questions!Our natural instinct is to prioritize those who need care, not those giving the care, especially when it comes to the elderly and infirm. That's understandable, but I refuse to leave the caregiver behind and act as though caring for another means giving up your own life. As a repeat caregiver for elderly parents and mom of two, I've experienced the challenge of caring for others while also trying to care for myself. There was rarely a time when there was a choice to make (between me and those I was caring for) that anyone expected me to choose myself first. It didn't even occur to me! That is why it is my mission to be a caregiver advocate. In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I cover the hidden toll of caregiving (and the compounding effects of stress that come with it) and seven essential self-care strategies for caregivers. If you're a caregiver, remember: your well-being matters. You cannot pour from an empty cup. Start by implementing one small self-care strategy today, and recognize that taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it's necessary.Could you use some support?

Text your thoughts and questions!As an entrepreneur, caregiver, and productivity coach, I've learned a critical truth about burnout that most people miss. It's not just about being tired—it's about a complete system shutdown that no bubble bath can repair.Burnout is more than occasional stress or a bad week. It's a persistent state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion that can derail your personal and professional life. When you're experiencing burnout, simple self-care strategies like a massage or a weekend getaway become nothing more than temporary band-aids on a much deeper wound. In this episode, I'll break down what burnout really looks like, why traditional self-care approaches fall short, and provide actionable strategies to help you recover and thrive. Whether you're a high-achieving professional, an entrepreneur, or someone feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, understanding burnout is the first step to reclaiming your energy and passion.Thank you for listening!

20 juillet 1969 : l'humanité marche sur la Lune. Derrière cet exploit, un nom : Wernher von Braun. Génie de l'ingénierie spatiale ? Oui. Mais aussi ancien membre de la SS, concepteur des redoutables V2 nazies. Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il a utilisé la main-d'œuvre des camps pour construire ses fusées meurtrières. Capturé par les Américains à la fin du conflit, il devient la tête pensante du programme spatial US. Effaçant son passé, il est érigé en héros. Pourtant, son histoire trouble interroge sur les limites de la morale face aux intérêts d'une nation. Von Braun a-t-il trahi par opportunisme ou conviction ? L'homme qui mit les Américains sur la Lune porta aussi les ombres du IIIe Reich dans ses bagages. Une biographie fascinante et glaçante.

La forteresse de Mimoyecques, située dans le Pas-de-Calais, fut construite par l'Allemagne nazie durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale dans le but de mener une attaque massive contre Londres. Ce site souterrain, dissimulé dans une colline près de la Manche, devait abriter une arme aussi redoutable que révolutionnaire : le canon V3. Contrairement aux V1 (missiles volants) et V2 (premiers missiles balistiques), le V3 était un supercanon conçu pour frapper la capitale britannique à très longue distance, sans possibilité de riposte.L'objectif stratégique de la forteresse était clair : infliger à Londres des bombardements constants, à raison de plusieurs centaines d'obus par jour, dans l'espoir de briser le moral de la population et de forcer le Royaume-Uni à capituler. Pour cela, les ingénieurs allemands développèrent un système complexe de canons à chambres multiples. Le principe consistait à utiliser une série de charges explosives réparties le long du tube du canon, qui s'enclenchaient en séquence pour accélérer progressivement un projectile de 140 kg. La portée estimée atteignait 165 kilomètres — suffisante pour toucher le cœur de Londres depuis Mimoyecques.Le site fut choisi pour sa proximité avec la côte anglaise et pour ses caractéristiques géologiques favorables : le sous-sol crayeux permettait le creusement de galeries profondes, à l'abri des bombardements. Plusieurs galeries inclinées furent creusées pour accueillir les tubes du V3, avec un réseau logistique impressionnant de bunkers, de casemates et de voies ferrées souterraines.Mais le projet prit du retard en raison de difficultés techniques. Les premiers tests révélèrent des problèmes de stabilité et de précision. Surtout, les Alliés furent rapidement alertés du danger que représentait Mimoyecques grâce à des photos aériennes et des informations fournies par la Résistance française. La Royal Air Force lança plusieurs bombardements en 1944, dont l'un particulièrement efficace le 6 juillet, utilisant les bombes "Tallboy", capables de pénétrer profondément dans le sol. Une frappe frappa directement un puits de lancement et tua de nombreux ouvriers allemands, compromettant gravement le projet.L'invasion de la Normandie, en juin 1944, scella définitivement le sort de Mimoyecques. Avant même d'être opérationnel, le site fut abandonné. Le V3 ne tirera jamais sur Londres.En résumé, la forteresse de Mimoyecques a menacé Londres car elle représentait une base de lancement pour une arme conçue spécifiquement pour bombarder la ville de manière continue. Elle incarne une des tentatives les plus ambitieuses de la guerre psychologique et technologique menée par le régime nazi. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

If international tensions break out into a wider war, it is likely to fought differently than previous wars. What will be the same is that the home front will become a target. Instead of Zeppelins, enemy bombers, V2 missiles, or Cuban paratroopers invading, the assault on the home front will likely be cyber warfare -- software viruses and backdoors to take down civilian infrastructure. How would prepping for CyberDoom be different than an EMP or CME?   If you are appreciating these topical episodes, consider becoming a Patron on Patreon, or a monthly member at Buy Me A Coffee, One-time coffee at Buy Me A Coffee are great too!

Text your thoughts and questions!Have you ever felt like you finally got your clutter under control, only to have it creep back in before you know it? This week, I'm unpacking a subtle yet powerful habit that consistently undermines our decluttering efforts. It's something society often encourages, making it even harder to recognize and overcome. It's essential to evaluate what you bring into your life, such as evaluating the physical things, obligations/ ideas, and scheduling commitments. We are often too quick to allow these things in without considering the impact. It's a habit that doesn't serve us and keeps us from making space for what matters. This week, episode 259 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about the clutter habit you need to break!Thank you for listening!

Text your thoughts and questions!If I had a nickel for every time someone said, “I could totally be organized if I lived alone,” I'd have a lot of nickels. I've felt that way, too. No matter who you live with, it's a challenge to organize for a group, especially when they have differing views on what being organized is and how a space should look and feel. Crystal Nerpel joins us on the podcast again this week to help us find our focus, encourage flexibility, and find a system that works for everyone. After all, loving your home isn't just about the space but the people in it with you! This week, episode 255 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about how to love your home when messy people live there!Crystal Nerpel is a retired award-winning professional organizer who lives in the Dallas- Fort Worth area of Texas with her husband, children, and pets. She spends most weekdays enjoying her home and writing. She recently published her first book, Loving Your Home: Clean Up Your Focus, Not Your House. Even though Crystal is a self-proclaimed homebody, she loves the great outdoors and thinks of herself as a “country mouse” living in the big city, so most weekends, she recharges her soul by spending time at her ranch in Loving, Texas.In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, Crystal does a deep dive into the challenges of creating a peaceful, organized home when living with messy family members and gives you practical strategies to use for maintaining a loving environment while managing household clutter.Crystal and I cover the following topics:A recap of Crystal's last podcast appearance and the importance of loving your home.Shifting your mindset from fixing people to creating collaborative systems that work for everyone. Developing flexible routines in place of rigid rules. Recognizing that organizing is about creating happiness, not perfection. Creating designated spaces that work for everyone's needs. Remember, a harmonious home isn't about perfect cleanliness—it's about creating a space of love, understanding, and mutual respect. Start by shifting your perspective and working together as a team.CONNECT WITH CRYSTAL NERPEL:WebsiteInstagramCONNECT WITH LISA ZAWROTNY:FacebookInstagramResourcesWork with Lisa! LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:(Find links to books/gear on the Positively Productive Resources Page.)Episode 35: Organize a space you love with Crystal NerpelEpisode 156: How to Reduce the Mental Load as a Parent or CaregiverEpisode 241: Why Being Cozy Can Make You More ProductiveDance Song Playlist V1, V2,

After a long (and much-needed?) hiatus since 2022, Craig and Kevin are officially back with V2 of the Schizophrenic Music Podcast — and they're picking up right where they left off: unscripted, unpredictable, and unapologetically obsessed with all things music.In this episode, the guys catch you up on what's been going on during the break — creatively, personally, and musically. From late-night jam sessions to the challenges of recording, they dig into the differences between playing live vs. recording in the studio, and what makes each one its own kind of high.They also unpack the weird world of cover bands vs. tribute bands — is one more legit than the other? Is there artistry in imitation? Where do we draw the line?Finally, they muse about the future of music festivals — post-pandemic evolution, indie takeovers, AI-generated acts(?), and what's missing from the current scene.Expect real talk, deep dives, a little bit of chaos, and a lot of passion for music in all its forms.

Foundations of Amateur Radio Recently Glynn VK6PAW and I had the opportunity to play radio. This isn't something that happens often so we try to make the most of it. For our efforts we had plenty of frustrations, to the point where we were joking that I should rename this to "Frustrations of Amateur Radio". That was until we heard something weird on-air. All setup shenanigans forgotten, we marvelled at the experience. I was playing around on the 10m band, trying to hear people making noise and potentially our first contact for the field day we were participating in, when I heard something odd. Two stations talking to each other, but the audio was strange. It was like they were doubling up, the same audio played a fraction of a second later, until that moment, something I've only ever heard in a radio studio whilst editing using a reel-to-reel tape machine with separate recording and playback heads. Having just started using a digital only radio, at first I thought this was an artefact of the radio. I took note of the frequency, 28.460 MHz and told Glynn about it. After we moved the telescopic vertical antenna to the analogue radio, we discovered that this was in fact real, not caused by the radios, no doubt a relief to the proud owner of both radios, Glynn, who was thinking more clearly than I. He took note of the callsigns, Dom VK2HJ and Yukiharu JE1CSW. Looking back now, an audio recording would have been helpful. At the time I suggested that this might be a case of long path and short path signals arriving at our station and being able to hear both. If you're not sure what that means, when you transmit, an antenna essentially radiates in all directions and signals travel all over the globe. Some head directly towards your destination, the short path, others head in exactly the opposite direction, taking the long way around Earth, the long path. You might think that the majority of contacts are made using the short path, but it regularly happens the other way around, where the long path is heard and the short path is not. As you might know, radio waves essentially bounce up and down between the ionosphere and Earth and it might happen that the signal arrives at the destination antenna, or it might happen that it bounces right over the top, making either short path or long path heard, or not. In this case, both arrived clearly audible. It wasn't until I sat down on the couch afterwards with a calculator that I was able to at least prove to my own satisfaction that this is what we heard. So, what were those calculations and what was the delay? The circumference of Earth is roughly 40,000 km. RF propagation travels at the speed of light, or about 300,000 km/s. It takes about 0.13 seconds or 130 milliseconds for a radio signal to travel around Earth. At this point you might realise that 40,000 km is measured at the surface, but ionospheric propagation happens in the ionosphere, making the circumference at the very top of the ionosphere about 45,000 km, which would take 150 ms. There are several things that need to line up for this all to work. Propagation aside, the distance between all three stations needs to be such that the number of hops between each combination is a whole number so we can all hear each other. As it happens, the distance between Perth in Western Australia and Maebashi City in Japan is pretty close to the distance between Goulburn in New South Wales and Japan, and the distance between Goulburn and Perth is roughly half that. Using back of napkin trigonometry, it appears that 27 hops around the planet are required to make this happen. That's five hops between Perth and Japan, and between Goulburn and Japan, and two hops between Goulburn and Perth, and 27 hops between Perth and Japan the long way around. Given that the F2 layer where the 10m signal is refracted exists between about 220 km and 800 km, we can estimate that the total delay for the long path is at least 144 ms. That doesn't really translate into anything you might relate to, but at 8 wpm a Morse code dit takes 150 milliseconds, which gives you a sense of how long the echo delay is. In other words, it's something that you can absolutely hear without needing to measure it. There are other implications. WSPR signals are used to test weak signal propagation. Stations around the globe report on what they can hear and when. For this to work, the signal need to be synchronised, something which is commonly implemented using something called NTP, or Network Time Protocol. It can achieve a time accuracy of 10 ms. GPS locked WSPR beacons can achieve an accuracy of 40 nanoseconds. In other words, if we know that the beacon and the receiver are time synchronised, we can probably detect if the signal arrived using a short path or a long path. The WSPR decoder tracks the time between when the signal arrived and 2 seconds past an even minute as perceived by the receiver. Gwyn G3ZIL wrote an interesting document called "Timescale wsprdaemon database queries V2" on the subject of the data format used by wsprdaemon, a tool used to analyse WSPR beacon transmissions. If this is something you want to play with, check out wsprdaemon.org From our adventures there was plenty to take away. Stay curious, go portable, take notes, practice putting up an antenna, keep a log, laugh and have fun, and last but not least, get on air and make noise. Before I forget, make sure your mate brings a pen for logging when your own trusty scribble stick suddenly gives up the ghost for no apparent reason. I knew there was a reason I prefer pencils.

Solar's growth isn't just steady—it's compounding. If current trends hold, half of the world's energy could come from solar by 2035. That's the prediction Andrew “Birchy” Birch has modeled using real-world data and the S-curve of technology adoption. He explains why mainstream forecasts underestimate solar, how exponential growth works in energy markets, and what policies must change to support a fully electrified economy.Birchy is the CEO and co-founder of Open Solar, a free solar design and project management platform used by installers worldwide. A longtime solar industry pioneer, he previously co-founded Sungevity, one of the first online solar sales platforms, and has spent decades advocating for policies that expand solar access (like pushing forward the SolarAPP in the US). Now, he's working with the Global Solar Council to push for an industry “Bill of Rights” that ensures fair energy market rules and a standardized approach to integrating solar into the grid. Want to hear and see the data supporting Birchy's bold claim that Solar will be More than 50% of our primary global energy in just 10 years' time?Expect to learn:Why the S-curve shows solar reaching 50% of global primary energy by 2035How the U.S. solar market compares to the rest of the worldHow SolarApp and permitting reform could unlock residential solarWhy tariffs and subsidies are distorting the solar marketHow OpenSolar is making solar design software free for installers worldwideIf you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to his contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://mysuncast.com/suncast-episodes/.Our Platinum Presenting Sponsor for SunCast is CPS America!SunCast is proudly supported by Trina Solar.You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.mysuncast.com/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 730 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.Subscribe to Valence, our weekly LinkedIn Newsletter, and learn the elements of compelling storytelling: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/valence-content-that-connects-7145928995363049472/You can connect with me, Nico Johnson, on:Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/nicomeoLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickalusMentioned in this episode:CPS July 2024 V2

With 45 percent of U.S. water sources containing toxic contaminants, according to the EPA, access to clean drinking water is becoming increasingly uncertain. Worse still, according to a UN study, over 40% of the world's water bodies are considered severely polluted, meaning a significant portion of Earth's water is contaminated; this translates to around 1 in 3 people not having access to safe drinking water. Traditional water treatment methods rely on filtering or distilling existing sources like lakes, rivers, or oceans. But a new approach is gaining traction—one that pulls water directly from the air.Alexander Von Welczeck, Founder and CEO of SkyH2O, explains how Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG) is reshaping water access. By capturing humidity and converting it into purified water, AWG provides a decentralized supply of water that reduces dependence on our failing infrastructure. As concerns grow over PFAS (forever chemicals) and other pollutants in municipal systems, AWG offers a safer alternative with wide-ranging applications.As water scarcity grows, AWG is emerging as a scalable solution for industries, communities, and facilities that need reliable access to clean water in an increasingly water stressed world. Tune-in to hear how it really works and just how close we are to pulling water right out of the air!If you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to his contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://mysuncast.com/suncast-episodes/.Our Platinum Presenting Sponsor for SunCast is CPS America!SunCast is proudly supported by Trina Solar.You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.mysuncast.com/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 730 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.Subscribe to Valence, our weekly LinkedIn Newsletter, and learn the elements of compelling storytelling: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/valence-content-that-connects-7145928995363049472/You can connect with me, Nico Johnson, on:Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/nicomeoLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickalusMentioned in this episode:CPS July 2024 V2
