Podcasts about Voltage

Send us a textReady to transform your low voltage skills into a thriving business? Three successful entrepreneurs who've walked this path share the unfiltered truth about what it takes to transition from installer to owner.Pierce (All Green Lights), Ryan (R&R Connectivity), and Jeff (Better Days Technology) reveal that their journeys didn't begin with meticulous planning but with a willingness to take calculated risks. Each had different safety nets—a spouse with steady income, youth's flexibility, or a strong client base from moonlighting—but all took the leap without overthinking it.Creating a memorable brand identity proved crucial for standing out in the competitive low voltage landscape. From Pierce's Lego figures marking completed racks to Jeff's crowdsourced logo design, these personal touches helped forge authentic connections with clients. The panel unanimously stressed the importance of proper legal structure (minimum LLC) and seeking guidance from mentors both inside and outside the industry.The most revealing insights came when discussing early mistakes. All three admitted significantly underpricing their services initially, failing to account for overhead costs beyond materials. Ryan candidly shared a cautionary tale of a project estimated to profit $20,000 that ultimately lost $70,000. When unexpected challenges arise, they emphasized transparent communication with clients rather than suffering in silence.For finding clients, cold calling proved less effective than authentic relationship building. Ryan's game-changing moment came from answering a 2AM emergency call, while Jeff leveraged hometown connections where "rarely is there not one degree of separation" between him and potential clients. The consistent thread? Exceptional work quality that generates word-of-mouth referrals—the most powerful marketing tool in the low voltage industry.Looking to start your own low voltage business? Join communities like Tech Knowledge Worldwide where experienced owners willingly share both successes and failures to help newcomers avoid costly mistakes. Remember their parting advice: charge more than you think you should, communicate openly when challenges arise, and never stop learning from others.Support the showKnowledge is power!

Send us a textWhat happens when a robot begins to experience human emotions? This fascinating question drives artist John Windzilak (known professionally as J-Dubs) in his groundbreaking project that blends art therapy, storytelling, and community building in surprising ways.On this episode, J-Dubs reveals how personal struggles with ADHD, heart issues, and childhood experiences led him to therapy, which ultimately inspired his character Voltage – a robot navigating the complex world of human emotions. What began as simple sketches evolved into a therapeutic coloring book that's resonating with people of all ages who struggle with emotional expression.The genius of J-Dubs' approach lies in its subtlety. Rather than presenting itself as therapy, the book invites readers into an engaging story about a mechanical being confronting very human challenges. Through coloring, readers can process their own feelings while following Voltage's journey. "If a robot could do it, why the hell can't I?" J-Dubs explains, highlighting how this character provides a safe distance from which to explore difficult emotions.Beyond the page, J-Dubs is building a community through "Bolt's Dream Masters," a platform where readers share their colored pages, transforming individual therapy into group healing. With plans to bring Voltage into schools and public spaces through murals, and a successful Kickstarter funding sensory toys to complement the book, J-Dubs is expanding this therapeutic universe in exciting ways.As J-Dubs so powerfully states: "It's hard being human, but it's not impossible. If you can get out of your way long enough to see from someone else's perspective, you might actually find a way to heal yourself."

Send us a textChuck Bowser explores essential cabling concepts from fiber optic compatibility to future-proofing residential installations and proper grounding techniques. He addresses practical concerns for industry professionals while celebrating new RCDD certifications within the Let's Talk Cabling community.• APC fiber patch cords should never be connected to UPC fiber adapter panels due to misaligned end faces and potential permanent damage• Future-proofing residential cabling typically means installing Cat6A despite its higher cost (66% more than Cat6) for its longevity and performance benefits• The average structured cabling plant lifespan is 7-10 years in commercial settings and 10-15 years in residential environments• Primary bonding busbars should be located near entrance facilities with secondary bonding busbars mounted high in telecom rooms• For lightning protection, modern installations should use gas tube protectors backed by solid-state protectors rather than obsolete carbon blocksIf you want to contribute equipment to the podcast studio or help with installations like conduit saddle bends, reach out to Chuck directly.

With sunny days ahead, we're working on more solar projects. One thing that comes up often is we need is a diode to keep the PV panel current only flowing into a charging circuit. Often times folks use a Schottky diode (https://www.digikey.com/short/b5d8495f) for their low forward voltage. But as you get to an Amp or more, you're still looking at a loss of 0.5V, or 0.5W and that number only goes up with higher currents! Thus the need for an 'ideal diode': we've already got a breakout for an ideal diode but it's only 5V max (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5830). Let's look for one that can handle higher voltages and at least an Amp of current.

The roots of this crisis run deep. Former tyrant Robert Mugabe's land seizures in the early 2000s shattered agricultural output, wiped out foreign investment, and unleashed hyperinflation that erased Zimbabweans' savings and wages. Decades of economic mismanagement drained the national resources and exacerbated food insecurity. Now, ordinary citizens shoulder the cost of regime failures. Families who once farmed their own land depend on expensive food imports they can't afford, while the bankrupt regime pleads for more dollar-based loans — only to weaken the local currency and sink the country further into debt.- Fountain App v1.1.16: Nostr Live Streams & Storage Manager https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/fountain-v1-1-16/- COLDCARD EDGE Release: Versions 6.3.5X (Mk4) and 6.3.5QX (Q) https://blog.coinkite.com/edge-635/- Bisq v1.9.19 & Bisq2 v2.1.6: Updates and Security Improvements https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/bisq-v1-9-19-bisq2-v2-1-6/- Alby Hub v1.14.2: Basic Swap Functionality, Home Widgets & More https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/alby-hub-v1-14-2/0:00 - Intro3:05 - Opening riff6:50 - Trump & New Tech cabal20:45 - Dashboard22:18 - FLD on NASDAQ25:45 - Is Jack Satoshi?32:59 - Grants37:53 - Milei's scam46:21 - Unbank Voltage52:09 - Trump banning congestion pricing56:47 - Nigeria Gambaryan deal1:00:16 - Fort Knox1:06:26 - iOS security patch1:06:58 - HRF Story of the Week1:12:58 - Boost1:13:09 - Software updates1:18:32 - AI is ruining RHR1:22:26 - Reorg shillShoutout to our sponsors:Unchainedhttps://unchained.com/rhr/Bitkeyhttps://bitkey.world/Stakworkhttps://stakwork.ai/Coinkitehttps://coinkite.com/TFTC Merch is Available:Shop Nowhttps://merch.tftc.io/Join the TFTC Movement:Main YT Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/c/TFTC21/videosClips YT Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUQcW3jxfQfEUS8kqR5pJtQWebsitehttps://tftc.io/Twitterhttps://twitter.com/tftc21Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/tftc.io/Follow Marty Bent:Twitterhttps://twitter.com/martybentNewsletterhttps://tftc.io/martys-bent/Podcasthttps://tftc.io/podcasts/Follow Odell:Nostrhttps://primal.net/odellNewsletterhttps://discreetlog.com/Podcasthttps://citadeldispatch.com/
