Interview Highlights

Addressing Concerns about Government Grants

• One has to decide if they want to be transparent or avoid attention.
• For conspiracy theorists, her advice is simple, if you're uncomfortable, don't apply.

"You can't have it both ways. You've either got something to hide and you don't want the government to know."

Aligning Business Goals with Grant’s Targets

"There was a story that developed with that."

Approaching the Grant Writing Process for Beginners

"You don't get given money for nothing. It's about understanding what's needed."

Tailoring the Same Grant for Different Organizations

• Prue’s advice is to consider how competitive the grant program is before submitting multiple applications.

"It would depend on how competitive that grant program is".

A few questions come up fairly regularly, so I thought I would provide some answers to them. These are the questions:

1. What does Manual Mode mean and do I need to know it?
2. How do you achieve sharp focus?
3. Do I have to edit my photos?
4. What gear do I need to get great photos?
5. What's the best lens?
6. What is White Balance and do I need to know it?
7. What's the difference between JPG and RAW?

As I mention in the podcast, if you don't understand any of the answers, or just want to get a more complete understanding of photography, I recommend you invest in a course that assumes no knowledge on your part. After all, you don't know what you don't know!

If you can't find a course, I offer a complete course for DSLR and Mirrorless users. You can learn more by clicking here.

in this episode, we cover a few random topics. but we spend most of our time discussing how different  it is starting out hunting now, very 15-20 years ago. technology and content consumption has drastically changed then game for new hunters that are beginning there obsessive journeys into the wild.

It is sometimes tempting to think that all the information we need to research a family tree is available at the touch of a button on the internet. While many of the records we might need have been digitised, there are far more documents that have not. The only way to view them is to go to an archive.

This podcast sets out to explain what archives are, what you might find in them and, how best to prepare for your visit. If you don’t live close to a particular archive it may well be much more cost effective to employ a skilled AGRA researcher to do the job for you.

Panel: Nick Serpell (Moderator), Maxine Willett, Valerie Brenton, Simon Fowler.

Whether you are 8 or 80, it’s never too late to start astronomy and learn our place in the universe. Did you know you can see our own galaxy with your unaided eyes? Craters of the moon with binoculars? Countless wonders await you any clear night. When attempting to view the night sky, location is key but fortunately in the Coromandel Peninsula we are spoilt for choice for areas free from light pollution, like Opito Bay.

The first step for beginners is simply to look up and ask, “What’s that?”...

Probably all of us are familiar with heraldry in one form or another. We see coats of arms on a daily basis, on documents, buildings, vehicles, flags and, of course, displayed during the great ceremonial occasions of state. But, what part can heraldry play in researching our family history and enhancing our knowledge of our ancestor?

This podcast sets out to look at what heraldry is, explains some of the sometimes strange terms used to describe colours and shapes, and how it can be used in genealogical research. It could well be that someone in your family tree did have the right to bear arms and a lot can be learned from studying the shields and crests. If listening to this podcast fires your interest in genealogy, there are some useful links below.

NB. Be wary of websites claiming to be able to sell you so called ‘family surname crests’. Coats of arms are granted to individuals, not to families and can only be inherited by direct descendants of the individual concerned, normally down the male line. As such many people of the same surname will often be entitled to completely different coats of arms, and many others of that surname will be entitled to no coat of arms at all.

Panel: Nick Serpell (Moderator), Ann Ballard, Chris Broom.

Full show notes

As parents, it's easy to get into a rut of only doing things we're already good at, or activities we've been doing for years. Yet our teens are essentially beginners at everything. And sometimes it becomes difficult to encourage them to try new things. Being a beginner can get old quickly—it’s hard work!

One of the biggest challenges parents may face is encouraging their teenager to step outside of their comfort zone. It's easy to get stuck in routines and habits, and teenagers are no exception. The problem is that this can lead to a lack of confidence in trying new things and can hinder their long-term growth and development. This can leave parents—who maybe haven’t been beginners in a long time—unsure of how to best help their teens.

To understand this, I spoke this week with Tom Vanderbilt, author of Beginners: The Joy and Transformative Power of Lifelong Learning.  As a parent himself, Tom found that he was spending a lot of time on the sidelines watching his daughter try new things and learn new skills. It wasn't until he realized that he wasn't doing the same for himself that he decided to become a beginner again. This sparked his journey into exploring the benefits of being a beginner and how it can positively impact parenting.

In our interview, Tom points out it’s important for parents to get out of their ruts and try new things because they are the primary role models for their teenagers. If parents are stuck in their own ways and not willing to try new things, it sends a message to their teens that it's okay to do the same. On the other hand, if parents are willing to step out of their comfort zones and try new things, it shows their teens that it's never too late to learn and grow.

Tom suggests a handful of perspectives and outlooks parents can try to help their teens try new things. First, embrace being a beginner. As parents, sometimes it feels like we have to have all the answers for our kids. But it's okay to not know everything and be a beginner. In fact, embracing being a beginner can be a positive experience for both parents and their teenagers. It can help parents model resilience and perseverance when faced with challenges, and show their teens that it's okay to struggle with something new.

Secondly, Tom says parents can use being a beginner as an opportunity to bond with their teenagers. Taking on challenges together can be a fun and rewarding experience for both parties, and can help parents and teens build stronger relationships. It can also help parents understand the challenges their teenagers face when trying new things, and provide a supportive environment for them to grow and learn. Plus, mustering through a challenge together can create lasting memories and missteps to laugh about together later. 

Being a beginner is not only important for personal growth but also for parenting. By embracing being a beginner and taking on challenges together, parents can inspire their teenagers to be more confident in trying new things and can build stronger relationships with them.

In the interview, we also discussed several other topics, including:

• The advantages of the beginner’s mindset
• The importance of the process over the outcome when learning something new
• Why college students are like kindergartners 
• How to leverage a growth mindset to overcome fear of failure

It was so fun speaking with Tom, and a blast to learn from Beginners of all kinds in his book! To follow along with what Tom is up to, check out links in his bio. Thanks for listening and we’ll catch you next week. 

England & Wales are particularly rich in the historical documents needed to research family history. This is primarily because there has been no serious invasion since 1066, and the fact that we live on an island means the country borders have remain unaltered. All this has helped in the preservation of records which go back over more than a thousand years of history.

While the internet has been invaluable in helping people research their English and Welsh ancestors, only a small proportion of these records are online. That means that a great deal of research needs to be done in physical archives and the most cost-effective way of doing this is by commissioning a professional researcher.

This podcast looks at the challenges facing those researching their English and Welsh ancestors, discusses the wide range of records that are available, and looks at how to get the best out of any research you commission to help you understand more about where your ancestors came from and what their lives were like.

Panel: Nick Serpell (Moderator), Phil Brown, Lesley Trotter and Lorraine Whale.
