Jon Becker, Founder of Aardvark Tactical and PROJECT7 Armor, Releases Season 2 of The Debrief
The Debrief with Jon Becker returns for Season 2 to discuss the challenges tactical leaders face with an all-new lineup of guests — in order to make us all better leaders, better thinkers, and better people


The Debrief with Jon Becker Season 2

The Debrief with Jon Becker Season 2

Following the success of its first season, The Debrief with Jon Becker announced it will be back for Season 2 starting Feb. 1, 2023. The new season will start with interviews of Medal of Honor Recipient MSgt. Earl Plumlee debriefing his actions on Aug. 28, 2013, in Afghanistan; RCMP Inspector Kevin Cyr discussing RCMP-ERT and tactical decision making; Chief Phil Hansen on the history of LASD-SEB and modern leadership challenges; as well as an operator from Brigade de Recherche et D'intervention (BRI) with a firsthand debrief of the Paris Bataclan hostage rescue. But those are just a few of the guests for Season 2.

Based on feedback from listeners, The Debrief will move from a primarily video to primarily audio format for Season 2. The Debrief audience primarily listens to the show, rather than watching it, and by moving to an audio-first format, the show will be able to record remote episodes which will provide for a greater breadth of guests. The primary video format will still be used in certain episodes, but audio will be the primary focus. This change of format will not, however, affect the streaming platforms on which the show is available.

Jon Becker, the host of the Debrief, shared his thoughts on Season 2:

"I am very excited for Season 2. We are so grateful to our audience for the support they have given, and this season, we are planning to take The Debrief to an even higher level. I am privileged to share the stories of amazing people as well as explore the issues facing tactical law enforcement. We have amazing guests lined up for this season and we are going to probe some very challenging topics."

Since the release of the podcast's first season in June 2022, it has received incredible reviews and accolades including winning a prestigious Muse Award. The Debrief has been covered on other podcasts including CATO, Tactical Breakdown, Policing Matters, The NPA Report, and On the Blue Line. The Debrief has also been featured in Police & Security News and Police1.com.

The Debrief is available wherever you find your podcasts, including Spotify, Apple, YouTube, and Amazon. New episodes launch on the first of each month. Visit www.thedebrief.live to stay updated on the latest episodes as they release.

Tinyview Launches Fundraising Campaign  to Support Independent Artists & Creators
The acclaimed independent, creator-driven website featuring bite-sized comics has launched a fundraising campaign to raise $25,000 in monthly subscription fees that will allow the site to reach sustainability and offer more comics.

Tinyview delivers bite-sized, award-winning comics directly to your phone

Tinyview, the acclaimed independent, creator-driven website featuring bite-sized comics, has launched a fundraising campaign to raise $25,000 in monthly subscription fees that will allow the site to reach sustainability and offer more comics.

Tinyview brings the "funny pages" directly to your device, offering a diverse array of strips with differing characters and styles. The site offers a freemium model, where users can read comic strips for free or, for the price of a cup of coffee each month, subscribe to directly support its roster of artists and gain access to bonus panels. The site is committed to paying independent comics artists for their work while helping them build their audiences. As the creator economy evolves, Tinyview Founder and CEO Raj Lalwani is intent on making Tinyview a leader in creator compensation.

"Artists and creators are often forced to post work for free on the main social media platforms to gain a following. Tinyview enables artists to be paid for the work they post, while bringing lovers of classic funny-page comics together," said Raj Lalwani, CEO of Tinyview. "Our current fundraising campaign will allow Tinyview to generate revenue from readers which will support artists they love and help usher in a stronger creator economy."

Tinyview is a unique platform for discovering new comics and artwork, working with an impressive roster of decorated comics creators. Its offerings are varied and surprising; whether you're a kid or a grown-up, a science fanatic or a political junkie, Tinyview is a refreshing and stimulating, reading experience.

Cartoonist Brian Gordon publishes "Fowl Language: Comics for Imperfect Parents" on Tinyview. Brian Gordon recently created a comic summarizing the experience of creators posting on major social sites in his comic, "Deal with the Devils," which can be seen in full here.

Gordon said, "Having been burned by other social media sites' exploitative practices, I was initially skeptical to join the Tinyview roster of artists. But I quickly saw how important their mission is, and I've since become one of their strongest advocates. Our founder, Raj, not only compensates artists fairly for their work, he gives us a voice in all levels of decision-making. As an artist who relies on the internet for my livelihood, it's been a game-changing experience to finally have a say in how my work is presented and shared."

Matt Bors, founder of The Nib, a two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, and an advisor to Tinyview, said: "Social media is driven largely by video and daily print media has collapsed. That has left comic strip creators with very few options. Tinyview is a place designed for comics, funded by readers, and if we reach this campaign goal, it's only the beginning of what it could do for creators."

Cartoonist Rob Rogers, a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize in both 1999 and 2019 who now posts his work on Tinyview, said: "As a veteran editorial cartoonist who spent decades at a major daily, it breaks my heart to see the decline of the U.S. newspaper and, along with it, the comics pages. Thankfully, all is not lost. Tinyview has managed to recapture the fun and anticipation of opening the Sunday funnies right on your phone or digital device. Most importantly, Tinyview makes it a priority to pay artists for their work. I am proud to be a part of this new comics venture."

Users can upgrade their subscription and help Tinyview keep paying artists by visiting https://tinyview.com. Tinyview's fundraising campaign will run until Feb. 14, 2023.

Impact Professionals Finds Success With Its Advertising-Based Video On-Demand Model
Spending on traditional subscription-based video-on-demand services slowed in 2022, showing cash-strapped consumers are amenable to cheaper and free alternatives.

Impact Professionals, an over-the-top (OTT) streaming service featuring positive and inspiring media for entrepreneurs and self-motivated individuals, is proud to announce the successful launch of its advertising-based video-on-demand (AVOD) model. The company launched just months ago and has seen a significant increase in user engagement and revenue due to its unique approach to streaming content.

"We're thrilled to see how well our customers have received our AVOD model," said Kyler Pentecost, CEO of Impact Professionals. "Our focus on providing positive and inspiring media for entrepreneurs and self-motivated individuals has resonated with users, and our AVOD model allows us to offer our content to a wider audience without the need for a subscription."

The company's focus on its AVOD model also highlights a growing trend in the streaming industry towards ad-supported models, as subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) models become less popular with consumers feeling the impact of challenging inflationary times. Impact Professionals' approach is a perfect fit for the current streaming market, providing users with a more affordable and flexible streaming experience. 

According to Variety, net subscriber gains are at their lowest point since 2018. In Q2 of 2022, Netflix lost 1.3 million subscribers. Disney+ added 100,000 new subscribers, marking its worst quarter since launching in 2019. HBO, HBO Max and Discovery+ lost 300,000 subscribers. 

Impact Professionals' AVOD model allows users to access its curated collection of positive and inspiring media at no cost, with revenue generated through advertising. This approach has proven to be a hit with users, who appreciate the ability to access high-quality content without the commitment of a subscription.

"We're thrilled to be at the forefront of this trend and look forward to continuing to offer our users a unique and positive streaming experience," said Pentecost. 

Impact Professionals' FAST Channel provides a free, ad-supported 24-hour viewing experience that continuously airs many of its most popular shows on preset schedules. FAST Channel is on digital platforms, including Distro TV, Free TV, and Galaxy TV, and will expand to other mainstream platforms like Pluto and Samsung.

Impact Professionals is home to over 500 hours of original content with more on the way and is available on a wide range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs. Users can start streaming today by visiting the company's website and downloading the app.

About Impact Professionals

Impact Professionals is a streaming platform developed by Impact Professionals, LLC, featuring entrepreneur-focused masterclasses as well as inspiring entertainment that helps viewers change their lives and impact the world, just as Mark Pentecost has done himself. Impact Professionals offers insightful talks from entrepreneurs and motivational leaders, exclusive access to livestreaming events, uplifting movies and series curated specifically for the Impact audience, thoughtful documentaries, original programming, and interactive technology for a safe viewing experience designed to inspire.

New OMG Surgery Center Offers Specialized Approach to Total Joint Replacement Surgery

New OMG Surgery Center Offers Specialized Approach to Total Joint Replacement Surgery
Comprehensive surgical program includes patient education, state-of-the-art robot-assisted surgical system, on-site physical therapy, and same-day discharge


OMGSC

Orthopaedic Medical Group Surgery Center in Lithia, Florida

The recently opened OMG Surgery Center (OMGSC) is a fully equipped surgical center that has been designed specifically with their Total Joint Replacement Program in mind, including the design of two large OR suites and robot-assisted surgical system. This comprehensive program begins in the physician's office, where patients are fully educated on the entire surgery process and discuss post-operative recovery. The patients also attend a free educational class prior to surgery to review the procedure, how to prepare, and the necessary steps for success. If the patient elects to use the Robotic-Assisted surgical program, they will be required to get a specialized CT Scan, which is coordinated for them.

A nurse will call every patient the night before their surgery to ensure they are prepared for the procedure. Once at OMGSC, each patient is prepped for the procedure and will talk with the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and nurses. Once in the operating room, the team will utilize the state-of-the-art robotics and software programs to assist the surgeon with surgery. The physician has complete control over the robotic system; however, it assists with making very precise cuts. "The surgeons and staff have worked hard to develop, design and build not only a surgical center but a comprehensive program that helps with patient recovery from complex surgical procedures," said Dr. Jeff Watson, orthopaedic surgeon at the Orthopaedic Medical Group of Tampa Bay.

Before leaving, the patient will begin a short course of therapy, walk, and go up/down some steps to ensure comfort with the new hip/knee. All patients that receive a total joint replacement at OMGSC are sent home within hours of their procedure. Dr. Scott Goldsmith, CEO of the Orthopaedic Medical Group of Tampa Bay, noted, "Patients recover better sleeping in their own beds and prefer to be home with family after hip or knee replacement surgery, so we have designed a program from start to finish that helps them achieve a better outcome." Typically, they will be seen back in the physician's office two to four weeks after surgery. 

The team at OMGSC has performed over 80 total hip & knee joint surgeries in their first six months of operation. They will continue to grow their program in 2023 and look forward to seeing many patients walk out of the center with less long-lasting pain.

These three new hires expand HSG Advisors' ability to provide both strategic guidance and tactical support to clients in its growing consultancy and help clients stay ahead of the curve on outpatient utilization trends in 2023 and beyond.
