Traditional banks often lack personalized service, and local businesses struggle to find true partnership in financial institutions. Meanwhile, higher education faces scrutiny over relevance and ROI in a world where information is nearly free. Harry Allen helped launch Studio Bank to blend technology with high-touch service, fueled by community investment. At Belmont, he's applying the same entrepreneurial mindset to modernize university operations and embed practical learning experiences, like a one-of-a-kind partnership with Dolly Parton, into academia. In this episode, Harry L. Allen, co-founder of Studio Bank and now CFO at Belmont University, unpacks the bold vision behind launching a community-first bank in a city dominated by financial giants. He shares the leadership lessons that shaped his journey, how to lead through crisis, and why mentorship is the key to filling today's leadership vacuum. Key Takeaways Leveraging both financial and social capital creates a unique, community-first banking model. High-tech doesn't mean low-touch, Studio Bank fused innovation with personal relationships. Leadership means showing up, especially during crisis. Universities must shift from being information hubs to delivering real-world experience. Succession and mentorship are vital to cultivating the next generation of leaders. Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Harry L. Allen 01:49 The Birth of Studio Bank 04:29 Leveraging Technology in Community Banking 07:25 The Courage to Start a New Venture 10:37 Leadership Challenges in High Growth 13:02 Leading Through Crisis: The COVID Experience 17:55 Transitioning from Banking to Education 21:16 The Role of Leadership in Higher Education 25:16 Adapting to Challenges in Higher Education 30:04 The Leadership Vacuum in Society 33:17 Advice for Emerging Leaders 35:21 The American Dream and Community Impact No Limit Leadership is the go-to podcast for growth-minded executives, middle managers, and team leaders who want more than surface-level leadership advice. Hosted by executive coach and former Special Forces commander Sean Patton, this show dives deep into modern leadership, self-leadership, and the real-world strategies that build high-performing teams. Whether you're focused on leadership development, building a coaching culture, improving leadership communication, or strengthening team accountability, each episode equips you with actionable insights to unlock leadership potential across your organization. From designing onboarding systems that retain talent to asking better questions that drive clarity and impact, No Limit Leadership helps you lead yourself first so you can lead others better.

This week's EYE ON NPI is 🔥hot Hot HOT! We're doing another temperature sensor this week, but this time it's the opposite of a remote Infrared sensor (https://blog.adafruit.com/2025/07/03/eye-on-npi-melexis-mlx90632-miniature-far-infrared-fir-sensors-eyeonnpi-digikey-adafruit-melexis_sensors/): we're covering the Omega Engineering SA1 Series Self-Adhesive Polyimide Fast Response Surface Thermocouple (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/o/omega-engineering/sa1-series-self-adhesive-polyimide-thermocouple) a high quality thermocouple with integrated U-shaped self-adhesive backing that ensures a secure fit on various surfaces and is designed for quick and easy installation. Last week we talked about how to measure the temperature of something without touching it (https://blog.adafruit.com/2025/07/03/eye-on-npi-melexis-mlx90632-miniature-far-infrared-fir-sensors-eyeonnpi-digikey-adafruit-melexis_sensors/), this week we're going to talk about a thermocouple sensor that gets all-up-in-your-personal-space. Why not use a remote sensor? For one, the temperature range is limited: it'll only do up to 200 C, and you need to make sure you have a good close view. Thermocouples are rugged and can easily handle up to and beyond 750 C (https://www.dwyeromega.com/en-us/resources/k-type-thermocouples). They can also be many meters away: their thin wires make it easy to snake into a kiln, or HVAC system. Traditional thermocouples come with just a welded-wire tip (https://www.digikey.com/short/0tttrf8v), or sometimes an encased metal-tip probe (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/omega/SICIN-125G-6/25633429). The latter is good for sticking into fluids or tanks. However, sometimes you want to measure the surface of something like a pipe or plate. Particularly since using a thermocouple implies a wide temperature range, you'll need something better than packing tape. The Omega SA1 Series comes with a 1"x0.75" adhesive pad made of fiberglass, polyamide and silicone glue (https://assets.omega.com/manuals/test-and-measurement-equipment/temperature/sensors/thermocouple-probes/M0503.pdf) that is good up to 177 C. Note that this is below the max rating of a thermocouple, so it's good for remote monitoring of many surfaces but you can't stick it to the inside of an oven and expect it to stay in place. Right now DigiKey is stocking the popular K-Type version (https://www.digikey.com/short/jj30553m) of the SA1 series, but the J, T, E, and M variants are also available for special order (https://www.digikey.com/short/0rw070wd). K-Type tend to be the best supported thermocouple variant, don't forget you'll also need a chip or ADC that can read the millivolt differentials on the thermocouple wires (https://it.omega.com/temperature/pdf/Type-K-Thermocouple-Reference-Table.pdf) and convert that to a temperature reading. Omega makes some cute USB thermocouple readers/loggers (https://www.dwyeromega.com/en-us/thermocouple-data-logger-with-usb-interface/p/OM-EL-USB-TC-Logger) or you can DIY your own with a sensor chip from DigiKey (https://www.digikey.com/short/j2tdv994) If you are in a sticky situation with some temperature monitoring of manifolds - or any kind of surface, really - the Omega Engineering SA1 Series Self-Adhesive Polyimide Fast Response Surface Thermocouple (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/o/omega-engineering/sa1-series-self-adhesive-polyimide-thermocouple) is a great way to attach a reliable and high-quality thermocouple. And, as you might expect, they are in stock right now for immediate shipment from DigiKey! Order today and you will be measuring all sorts of surface temperatures, to your heart's content, by tomorrow afternoon.…

This week's EYE ON NPI is going to keep an eye on the hot summer temperatures - it's Melexis' MLX90632 Miniature Far Infrared (FIR) Sensors (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/m/melexis/mlx90632-miniature-far-infared-fir-sensors) a series of low cost, high performance, ultra tiny IR temperature sensors with medical grade accuracy! The MLX90632 comes from Melexis (https://www.digikey.com/short/zvzvp01b) whose expertise is IR temperature sensors. We've been using their sensors like the MLX90614 (https://www.digikey.com/short/b990pn8w) for over a decade! These sensors are specifically good for sensing the temperature of something that they are not touching. There's lots of reasons to use this, for example when something is really hot, so you don't want your circuit to reach the same temperature which would degrade or damage it. Or for sanitation: unlike in-ear or oral temperature sensing, you can point this at someone's head or mouth to measure their temperature without ickyness. Or maybe you're measuring something that is far away or hard to attach a thermocouple to, for example to measure the temperature of a leaf for calculating the Vapor Pressure Deficit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapour-pressure_deficit). For 'single point' measurement, we've used the MLX90614 (https://www.digikey.com/short/b990pn8w), they've also got the MLX90640 (https://www.digikey.com/short/8pf5zrq8) which is more like a camera, with 32x24 pixel IR camera support. Both are way cheaper than a full FLIR camera module, and we love the I2C interface which makes it easy to interface with any microcontroller or microcomputer. However, what we really wanted is something more affordable and hopefully even surface-mount-friendly. After a bit of searching this week we bumped into the MLX90632 (https://www.digikey.com/short/zvzvp01b) which has everything we've wanted! First up, unlike the other IR sensors we've used, the MLX90632 (https://www.digikey.com/short/zvzvp01b) is compact and surface mountable - that makes assembly fast and easy without hand soldering and lead-clipping. Second, it's got an I2C interface so we don't have to do any analog noodling to convert a current to temperature. It's also pre-calibrated so you can use it right 'out of the box' like classic non-IR temperature sensors. There's versions for both 3.3V or 1.8V power/logic, so you can pop it into your circuit with ease. And if you're using for human/animal temperature monitoring, the medical-grade version is factory calibrated with an accuracy of ±0.2˚C within the narrow object temperature range from 35 to 42˚C. Note that both 'standard' and 'medical' grade have different accuracy zones, and as you get to the extremes from 25C, the accuracy in C will rise to +-4C: its a trade-off between range and accuracy. Just note that you need to tell the sensor which mode you want to be in, over I2C Speaking of - this sensor is I2C compatible! So it's easy to interface this using C, Arduino, Python, etc. Check out the register map in the datasheet - you will need to read the pre-programmed calibration constants in order to convert readings to ambient/remote temperatures. There's also built in EEPROM that you can program with offsets or to change the I2C peripheral address, handy if you have device-specific settings that you want to tie to the individual sensor for custom calibration. To make it easier to get going, check out the Melexis C library on github (https://github.com/melexis/mlx90632-library) If you think the MLX90632 (https://www.digikey.com/short/zvzvp01b) is hot-to-trot, then you are in luck because there's tons in stock at DigiKey right now, available for immediate shipment! Order today and you'll get this tiny IR sensor for your own by tomorrow afternoon so you can start getting precision remote temperature sensing added to your design in a jiffy.…

We revised our 1.5" transparent OLED breakout (oops, pins were swapped), designed breakouts for sensors like the AS5600 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/ams-osram-usa-inc/AS5600-ASOM/8250257) and STHS34PF80 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/STHS34PF80/13187390), and updated the NAU7802 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/nuvoton-technology-corporation-of-america/NAU7802SGI/4929384) to have both ADC ports available.

(Re-broadcast, LIVE was not working for all social media on Sunday night, so here ya go! This week at our desk, we spent a lot of our focused engineering time working on e-paper display drivers. These displays are a lot more annoying than TFTs, which have settled on standardized MIPI command sets. Also, they have custom "waveforms" used to configure the refresh technique. By default, we use the built-in waveforms from OTP memory, but it's possible to load new waveforms, letting us do funky stuff like coax 4-grayscale out of a "monochrome" display. We also designed a simple moisture sensor PCB for an ultra-low-cost kit to be used by students—sometimes it's okay to under-design for cost reasons!…

For our E-Ink display breakout boards, we add an SRAM chip onboard to help buffer the display. Unlike TFTs that have built-in video RAM, EPDs require writing the full memory at once—which can get into multi-KBs. For many modern chips, up to 64KB of video RAM isn't a big deal, but for small, low-cost micros like Arduino, that's a lot! Since EPDs are slow anyway, we can use an external SRAM chip for fast write/read—an ideal solution.

This week's EYE ON NPI is locked in and latched on - it's CIT Relay and Switch's L115F2 Series Latching 50 A Relays, (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/c/cit/l115f2-series-latching-50-a-relays) a great way to control high voltage and currents, at a great price, and with the benefit of a latching control system so you don't need nearly as much current when activating as standard relays. We've covered relays a few times on EYE ON NPI (https://blog.adafruit.com/2023/08/03/eye-on-npi-sensata-crydoms-series-1-ac-panel-mount-solid-state-relays-eyeonnpi-digikey-sensata-digikey-adafruit/) there's thousands of different types stocked at DigiKey, for every kind of configuration and power usage. We've even seen solid state relays (https://blog.adafruit.com/2021/01/07/eye-on-npi-te-ssrmp-series-solid-state-relays-eyeonnpi-digikey-teconnectivity-digikey/) that don't have a mechanical component. But, if you're designing something that isn't meant to switch more than 10,000 times in its lifetime, you can keep your costs low by sticking to the tried and true mechanical relay. The only thing you might like is the upgrade of a Latching-type relay such as the L115F2 series (https://www.digikey.com/short/372fdpvv). Most relays (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/power-relays-over-2-amps/188?s=N4IgjCBcoLQdIDGUBmBDANgZwKYBoQB7KAbRACYAWSgThAF0BfRg80kAJxwzQE8HGQA) are simple on-off types, when you put current through the electromagnet, it attracts the relay contacts to switch from the Normally-Closed side to Normally-Open making the circuit. The moment the current is removed, the electromagnet turns off, and the relay switches back off. That means, you have to keep that current going for as long as you want the circuit to close. For some relays, that can be quite a bit of power: it's not unusual to need up to 200mA at 5V. If you're running on battery power, or if you want to keep your power supply budget from getting sucked up, you can swap to a latching relay. These have a 'bi-directional' electromagnet, and a plastic latching system so when you put current through one way, it will turn on and stay on. To turn off the relay, swap the polarity of the electromagnet so current goes the other way: that will unlatch the relay and turn it off. The mechanical construction is a little more expensive than a standard relay, and you'll need an H-bridge (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-bridge) to control the electromagnet, but you only need current for that short pulse. The CIT Relay and Switch's L115F2 Series (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/c/cit/l115f2-series-latching-50-a-relays) are available in a range of configurations: with coil rated voltages of 5/12/24/48V, so you can use with whatever your native power system is. In both SPST and SPDT contacts, and either 30A, 40A or 50A rated current. There's also two size versions, the slim one still has the spade contacts on the top but they stick out rather than being sunken in the relay body.. If you want a powerful, low cost, low power solution to switching some high voltage/currents around your next product - check out the CIT Relay and Switch's L115F2 Series Latching 50 A Relays (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/c/cit/l115f2-series-latching-50-a-relays) available at DigiKey! We think Latching relays are a great way to reduce heat and power, with standard relay footprints.
