After more than 25 years of dedicated service, the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office recognizes the retirement of Deputy Brian Harris and K9 Ava. During his career, Deputy Harris served across many divisions within our office, including Detention, House Arrest, the Training Division, and Patrol, as well as 14 years with the WCSO K9 Unit. In that time, he helped develop and guide the program through his leadership, experience, and commitment to preparing both deputies and K9 teams for the demands of the job. K9 Ava faithfully served alongside Deputy Harris for six years, helping ensure the safety of our deputies, partner agencies, and the community. Beyond her work in the field, Ava became a beloved presence in our community. “Deputy Harris has been an integral part of the success of our K9 program for more than a decade. His dedication to training, mentorship, and service has left a lasting legacy within this office,” said Sheriff Darin Balaam. “K9 Ava has been an outstanding partner and a true ambassador for our agency, earning the admiration of our community. They will both be greatly missed.” Please join us in wishing Deputy Harris and K9 Ava a well-deserved retirement and many years of happiness in this next chapter. #WCSO #Deputies #Retirement #K9 #K9Unit #K9Retirement #ThankYouForYourService #ProudSheriff

POSITIVE TRADING PSYCHOLOGY It’s a surreal privilege nowadays to read @steenbab ‘s new book while flying to see him speak live this past weekend at the @smbcapital Trading Summit (Brett is an incredible speaker full of expertise, humor, & real-world anecdotes). Here is what I took away from his new book, Positive Trading Psychology: -Go broad before you go deep. -“Successful traders, like successful businesses, embrace the beginner’s mindset: they love learning new things. Their true edge in the markets is the ability to discover and pursue fresh edges.” -Consistency isn’t about consistency of outcomes. Trading has slumps, drawdowns. It’s inevitable. Consistency is applying the same process to grow and evolve through those periods of outcome variance. -“Whatever will make you successful in trading is something that, in some way, you’ve already done successfully in another arena of life.” -“If we don’t have very concrete plans for losing and drawing down, we cannot prepare ourselves for the levels of risk-taking that could make us truly successful See my video on this: youtu.be/o7DfwJTC_Ow?si… -Positive psychology is holistic. It begins with your morning routine. It consists of your trading routine. It consists of your relationships and activities outside of trading. And ends with your bedtime routine. Everything you do builds up or breaks down your psychology. -I see this all the time on the retail and prop side: working within a trading pod helps every aspect of your trading and Brett notes the psychological benefits as well. You are most resilient to survive the rough patches when you’re part of a team. -Historically, psychology has focused on the mentally unwell and most people only focus on psychology during the rough patches. This book emphasizes the other side of the spectrum and how important it is to build positive psychology practices.
