This is absolutely incredible. During this conversation with Master of Wine Tim Hanni, I had to step back and take a breather. He speaks on such a level about wine and the errors of the industry and packs so much into a single sentence, one must just ask him to stop to let the listener regroup. And then you can't wait to get to the next subject. Tim Hanni has a knack for stirring up the wine world—and not just in the glass. Master of Wine, self-proclaimed neurodivergent, and recovering vertical thinker, Tim upends every rule you thought you knew about wine and food pairing. In this episode, you'll tumble down the rabbit hole of wine “education,” learning why the very idea of a standardized language for wine is more myth than method, and why trying to force consumers into rigid tasting frameworks makes about as much sense as serving Château Yquem only after dessert. Tim invites us to step outside the vertical “vacuum” of tradition, where “experts” argue endlessly over points, metaphors, and what makes a wine “authentic,” regardless of what real people like or taste. Instead, you'll explore horizontal segmentation—a visionary approach that asks what you enjoy, rather than lecturing you on what you're supposed to like. He'll open your eyes to the untold culinary histories of France, China, and beyond, exposing how local customs—think mixing wine with water, Cognac with Sprite, or the Spanish cult of Calimocho—defied all the snobbery and made wine approachable. Beyond the chemistry and the clichés, Tim shows how genetics, perception, and even childhood memories shape your palate. Unravel the neuroplastic threads connecting culture, biology, and psychology, and discover why language about wine is as personal and subjective as taste itself. Trust us, you'll come away from this conversation empowered to toss aside intimidation, embrace your own preferences, and maybe even splash a little Coca-Cola in your glass—because as Tim reveals, the future of wine isn't about changing you to fit the wine, but letting the wine world finally fit you. ✅ Think wine is all about fancy rules and stuffy traditions? Think again. ✅ Master of Wine Tim Hanni and host Paul Kalemkiarian shatter the myths around wine language, food pairing, and what REALLY matters when you pour a glass. ✅ On this episode of Wine Talks, they dive into why the “rules” of wine are mostly illusions, how perception and neurodiversity shape our tastes, and why the industry needs a massive shake-up. ✅ Bottom line: Forget the snobbery—wine is about YOUR experience, not outdated dogma.

Tiff and Dana discuss the impacts mental health has on the dental industry, including how to take a step back and re-center yourself, maintaining a positive mindset, setting up a team of delegation and accountability, and more. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. I am so excited to be here today with Miss Dana. She is a favorite on the team. Gosh, she is a favorite of so many of our clients. I know so many of you listening have personally worked with Dana and you've gotten to experience the amazing human that she is. We get to hear from you guys constantly. I just, I have to say kudos Dana. You have the biggest raving fans of our company. I just, gosh, I couldn't agree with them more. You seriously changed lives. So I'm excited to be here with you today, Dana. And I'm excited to do this subject with you that we're talking about today, because I just think it's so perfect for where you come into play with your clients. So how are you today, Miss Dana? Dana (00:44) Doing good, thank you for all that Tiff. As you know, my clients mean the world to me. And so the fact that they give love back is always appreciated. The Dental A Team (00:49) Yeah. Yeah, yeah, they do. You guys, if you are one of her prized clients or you are about to be and you're a future client, you are in the right hands and she really does have so much, so much love for all of you. So Dana and I are coming off of a whirlwind right now. Like we just spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to get in here to record podcasts. You'd think it was our first day on the job, but luckily we have. a non-millennial on our team who knows how to use technology and clear out all the pieces that we needed. So Dana, I feel like it's also appropriate. mean, it leads right into what we're talking about today. I'm like, I've got a little headache like right here now and like, does this happen? And I think Eve calls it difficulties, but I mean, gosh dang it, technology and the world, there's so much going on. constantly, there's so much chaos and it literally led into this subject so well today. Dana (01:55) Yeah, I always say technology is great when it works. It's super frustrating when it doesn't. The Dental A Team (01:58) Yes. my gosh. It's so, it's so crazy. So just FYI, know that there's a lot of love and chaos sometimes that goes into recording these podcasts. And we do love what we do. We do love recording them. love seeing them on Instagram when they pop up and listening to what everybody has to say. And I love listening to them on my own. We know there's some huge, huge raving fans out there. So thank you. But it led into today so well. I wanted to take time today to talk about mental health and dentistry. I think it's definitely, I think it's talked about more now than it ever has been because I do think mental health and suicide and all of those, all of those different avenues and pieces are more widely like accepted to be talked about. and more widely known. So I do think that it is talked about more in dentistry and the awareness, you know, they say awareness is key. The awareness is there, but I really, you guys know we get tactical. We get super tactical no matter what we do. And I think that there are some really tactical ways that we can go about mental health and dentistry. And I wanted to take some time with Dana today to really chat through some of that and really look at what can we do? every day to make sure that we are considering our mental health within the career choice, whether you're dentistry or not, whatever career choice you've taken that has led you here to us today. I think this is going to be super beneficial. And I have personally experienced mental health issues in my personal life, in childhood and with my mother and suicide. And it's still here. It's still relevant. It's still It's everywhere. think everyone I know and everyone I come in contact with has had some sort of mental health disturbance touch their lives in some way, whether it's them personally or someone near them, family or friend. And I just, I reach out to all of you guys and I wrap you up in a huge hug because whether it's super personal or gosh, it was, you know, three times removed, but you still heard about it. It still impacts us and it still becomes a part of who we are. sending massive amounts of love out to everyone today and Dana, you are a master at coordinating chaos is what I will call it today. You are a stress and chaos coordinator extraordinaire. And I think that many, many of the spaces of stress that a lot of people deal with, and I think a lot of our clients that we talk to really actually deal with is the stress of Dana (04:22) you The Dental A Team (04:38) personal life and work life, the stresses of both sides trying not to take one into the other and trying to create this like ever seeked after work life balance and not understanding that compartmentalizing all of those pieces actually harms us in the end when they really just need to be addressed and they really just need to be, I don't know, divvied out, figured out. But Dana, you have you have a very active personal life and you have a very active work life. You have a lot of clients and a lot of responsibilities and you help me a ton constantly. And how do you, how do you feel on the day to day? Actually, we're going to, we're going to go emotional first and then we'll go super tactical, but how do you feel in your life? Like some days, do you just have days where you're just like, I can't do it anymore. And then other days you're like, dang, I'm totally killing it. Like, what does that look like in your life? Dana (05:34) Yeah, I mean, I am super blessed in the fact that I feel like I am a person that thrives a little bit more in chaos. I like to stay busy. I like to keep myself talk full. I know that isn't everyone. So for sure, that is a blessing, like just with my personality type and everything that I have going on. But definitely there are days where at the end of the day, I have to take a few minutes and just breathe. I have to prioritize myself and I have to do it very intentionally. I can't just expect it to kind of fall that way. It has to be organized that way for me to be able to keep it consistent. And so just realizing that like years ago as my family continued to grow and I wanted to still have a professional life, I had to be super intentional about... setting aside time for those things, making myself aware when I am starting to feel like I just need a breather and be super intentional on how I build my schedule and how I build out the pieces that are truly important to me. The Dental A Team (06:33) Yeah, yeah. And you used a really special word to me, intentional. That is something that is drastically more and more important the older I get in life. And intentionality, I think, is huge. Personal intentionality on, like you said, the way that you're spending your time, the things that you're doing, the attention you're giving yourself, the attention you're giving other people, and then the intentionality behind the things that you're doing, I think plays a massive role as well. So thank you for sharing that. I do think One of the reasons that you and I are drawn together in life is the fact that we are both insanely intentional and intentional in reaching out intentional and everything that we do. So that piece for us definitely makes us stick and keeps us sticky to one another. So I appreciate and value that about you. I think within that statement, that intentionality is something that you can pull out tactically. You guys from what Dana is saying is number one, she checks in with herself. Right? You've got to check in with yourself. And I have been listening to this new book and it's amazing, right? We'll talk about it at another time. But something that really struck me there was the idea of upsets in life coming out of a space of lack of control. So us being angry, frustrated, exhausted, tired, upset with how work is flowing into personal life. Like if we really take a step back and we look at it from that bird's eye perspective, we probably can find something within our day or our work life or whatever it is that's quote unquote upsetting us that actually it's something that we feel like we have no control over. within the dental industry and within your guys's positions as owners and doctors and leaders and mentors and all of the hats that you're wearing, a lot of that could really feel like everything's happening to you and like I have to do this and this is, you know, this happened to me today and I can't believe that this happened. But looking at it from a space of how did I allow this not to guilt ourselves, right? Cause that's the opposite of what we want to do here. But to be able to say, okay, could I have said or done something differently that would have led to more control over the out. come up the situation. So for Dana, what you said was the end of the day, sometimes you just need a breather and you're just like, I need to take a step back. That's really, really looking at how can I regain control over my emotions before I step into life with my family so that we're quote unquote, not carrying work with us, but really saying, you know what, I'm going to complete this day. I'm going to complete this workday. I'm going to center myself. and I'm gonna move on with the rest of my day. So you're not, it's almost like you're not carrying things with you because you finished it. And when we carry things, it's because things feel incomplete, or we're still trying to figure out where it is that we're lacking that control. So you take a step back and you say, okay, this is what today looks like. Great, it's done, that's over. It's behind me and I can no longer change anything about it. But what I can do is reset myself. be present and go be with my family or go do my workout by myself, go read a book, go take a bath, go jump through the shower to reset my mind. Like whatever it is that next step you're taking forward, Danim, you've closed the book, finished that chapter on the rest of the day that's behind you, closed that book, and now you're reopening your journal. to like go start the rest of your day. And I think that's really, really cool and actually like super tactical to really almost like now we're positively compartmentalizing, but we're not compartmentalizing to forget about it or not feel the feelings or not finish it. You're compartmentalizing as in like this piece is done. I can no longer change what's happened. All I can do is take the next step forward and then tomorrow. reset myself again and not let it happen to me again, but be like, how can I make life happen instead of letting life happen? Dana (10:42) Yeah, yeah, you're exactly right. And I think that takes so many different shapes in my day. even I know, you know, yes, I have a lot of clients who I absolutely love, but I have a lot of other responsibilities within the late team, like project time and podcasting and writing newsletters and you know, all sorts of client projects too. And so I have learned that I really have to kind of chunk and compartment my day too, because it's really hard to go from like content pieces into calls then back into content. then into calls again. So I've had to really design my schedule to Even make it more so that like my day can flow and I don't have to flip Mindsets all the time and you know, I've worked with doctors who knew doctors right who started they come in they're doing all the re-cares and they're doing all the restorative and they're and I'm like, hey Let's just make sure right when you can it's it's really hard to jump back and forth into those things So just even even taking compartments of your day in dentistry or your day as a consultant and really looking at how can I keep my mindset with everything that I have to do, how can I keep my mindset and how can I shift in my responsibilities even within work life to be able to have a little bit more control or a little bit more focus. The Dental A Team (11:56) No, I think that was beautifully beautifully stated and so tactical because there's so many different spaces that you can apply that to. I apply it to my personal life as well. But I think about a doctor going from like a second molar root canal, you're gonna do a second molar root canal first of all, you're nuts, right? Don't do those. anyway, second molar root canal. And then you go from that second molar root canal into a cosmetic consultation. my gosh, one you're exhausted. it's like, when we're done podcasting, I don't know about you, but my brain's exhausted. so knowing that like, we try to schedule these today was not super ideal, but in many facets, but we'll get through it. But we try to schedule them on days when we know it's like where this is just like a content creation day. This is a meeting day. This isn't like a full heavy client day, which I don't think either one of us have super heavy client days today. So it worked out well in that capacity, but you're exactly right. It's really about how can I make the best of what I have for me first? Because if I struggle, I have so many people that struggle with this, and I think this comes down to a mental health space as well. If you're not your best self, if you're not creating a life that works the best for you, It's impossible to create a life that works the best for everyone around you because you can't give anything else. You have to be full, I go crazy on this one. You have to be full in order to be able to give people a piece of you. Otherwise, they're only getting a piece of what's left. so it's so like counterintuitive because we think I'm a people pleaser and I want to give to other people and I want to do for other people. And if I do for me, it's selfish. But realistically, your cup is getting drained constantly. And if you're not refilling that cup, you're only able to give them a piece of what's left of your cup. So if you gave 50 % of your cup today, you do not reset. don't give back to yourself in any way. You wake up tomorrow, maybe a little bit more refreshed, and you've got 60%, we'll say. You left with 50, and you gave yourself 10 % while you slept. So now you come into tomorrow, 60 % full and then you give again 50%. You've only got 30 % left and you go to bed, you wake up the next day, maybe not as refreshed, 35 % rather than giving back to yourself and getting yourself up to that like 80 to 100 % refreshed and refueled. Now I can give more to the people around me because I am whole. And so the reality is if you're not ensuring that your whole, that your mental health is a priority for you, you're doing a disservice not only to yourself, but to the people around you. So in turn, you being the people pleaser, you trying to give everything you can to other people and thinking it's selfish to give back to yourself is actually hurting the entire goal. So taking that moment and being like, okay, how can I? take that control, because realistically, that's what it all, it comes down to. And I believe it's okay to be selfish. And I believe it's okay to like control. We all do, it's human nature. Both of those things are human nature. And us trying to battle against that is hurting us as an individual and as a community socially. economically, politically, we are being hurt every day by trying to go against the natural grain of who we are. And so give back to yourself and look at spaces that you can control. You can't control everything. Right, Dana? Like, I can't control where someone schedules something. But what I can control is how I handle that and the system that got us there. to the incorrect scheduling. I can handle that. cannot control and guarantee that everything's gonna be scheduled perfectly every day. What I can control is how I handle it after the fact. And like you said, building that schedule is massive. And then Dana too, I think something you do really well with your clients and newsletters you write and everything is really that delegation tool. So, and you delegate. I know you delegate. delegated some dishes the other day to Senor Brody over there and he rocked it. He killed it and he was in the best mood all day because he got to help. But I know you delegate things at home too. speak to that a little bit too because scheduling is one thing, but I can still say yes to everything and in turn be saying no to a lot of things in the background I didn't realize. But how do you go about delegating and training doctors and teams to delegate to? I think that's a super. another super tactical way that you really help doctors focus on that within their mental health. Dana (16:52) Yeah, yeah. And I think the key to delegating, which I've had to use even in my personal life, is that very clear expectations of anything that I want someone else to handle. And that is like, what does it look like? When do I want it? How do they do it? And then on the other side of that is you have to train them on those things, and then you have to trust that they can do it and then build an accountability. So how do you know that it is being done? And the easiest way is to have them report up to you. So delegation, you know, becoming a master at that truly is setting clear expectations, training on the things that you expect, and then really trusting and building an accountability with team members. And it's not always the easiest thing. But I think the more we do it, the more we practice it, the more we get feedback from our team. on it the more that we build in systems for ourselves so that things don't fall through the cracks. So anytime we're delegating something, even just popping it on your calendar so that you know when to expect that report up, there are easy pieces that you can put into place that make it super simple to be able to delegate really well. The Dental A Team (17:59) Yeah, and I think one of the spaces to know what to delegate, right, would be looking at looking at your list of things that you've got your duties. I do this sometimes with my home life, right? I'm like, these are all the things I got to get done. And then I look at it I'm like, what is on here that only I can do? What is on here that someone else could do? Because we've got vacations and trips and we've got all these things we're prepping for, right? So who Who can pack for me? mean, anyone can pack for me, but I'm probably gonna pack my own stuff, right? But when I've got dishes or dinner or laundry that needs to be done or cats that need to be cleaned up after, like what are the pieces even in my personal life that I can delegate out to someone else because maybe I don't have enough time to do all of it, but I can pack and do my own laundry, right? So someone else can help with those other pieces and that's the same thing. We tend to get into this cycle. We tend to get into this cycle, honestly, of thinking that our work life and our personal lives are so drastically different and that relationships are so drastically different. They're not. They just take on a little bit different form. Like a romantic relationship compared to my relationship with Dana. Like I'm communicating with Dana very similarly to how I communicate with Erin, right? But it's going to take on a little bit different of a form. But if I show up for Dana as a different version of myself, I just put on this mask and I'm Dental A Team Tiff. And then I go home and I show up as a different version from my significant other. Somebody's losing and Dana's like, girl, you're crazy. Like, I don't trust you, right? Like, no, trust is built when we are authentic selves. We show up the way we want others to show up and we do the things that empower others to empower ourselves. So we delegate with empowerment. We delegate with trust. delegate with honesty. and vulnerability and sometimes it's okay to say, hey, I'm actually really, really stressed about giving this task off because it's something that I've held near and dear to my heart and I'm super scared it's not going to get done correctly. Not that you can't do it, it's my own fear. I really need you to prove me wrong right now. Like, please help me stress or help me stretch this muscle, help me learn how to do this better and get me over this hurdle. Dana, I said that to you and I asked you to do anything, how on board are you with, heck yeah, let me help Tiff. Dana (20:21) yeah, 100%. And I think it's I get clients that reach out all the time about things like that. Like, well, how do I say this? Or how do I get them on board? Or how do I and it comes down to just have an open and honest conversation and actually mean what you say, right? And when you can authentically I mean, how exhausting is it to try to be someone to a million different people, right? It's exhausting. And so it really does come down to being willing to communicate being willing to say hard things, even if right, you feel like like it's a it's a reflection on you in some way being able to admit that you're stressed being able to admit that you need help and being able to admit that you've got a fear of letting something go. That's huge in building buy in for that team member because team members, dentists Trust me when I say this team members don't want to let you down, right? They want to do a good job. They want to help grow your business. They want those things I like it is very rare for me to come across a team member who just doesn't care. And so being able to have that conversation with those team members are absolutely going to step up. The Dental A Team (21:21) Okay. Yeah. that was beautiful, I totally agree. And I hope you guys like took that to heart because everything Dana just said is a hundred percent true. We've lived this. Like I had the incredible experience of working with a really, really fantastic human for a lot of my career. And he gave me the kudos and the accolades and I was his right man, right hand man, right? I did everything, but it got to the point where I almost didn't, I didn't want other people to be able to do things because that was my title. And so he did really well, right, at creating a human that he could, I could, I would do anything for that man. And I still would, like he didn't do it maliciously. But what it did was it created in me, I allowed it to create in me this fear of losing that special space or that the accolades of losing that title. And so I would harbor everything for myself and I'd say, it's fine, I'll just get it done. I'll get it done. until I was overflowing and I was stressed out and I woke up one day and I remember waking up that day and I remember being like, I am angry every day when I wake up and that's not who I am. I live in rainbows, unicorns and literally like, I literally ate sprinkles on whipped cream last night. Like my family thinks I'm crazy, I love sprinkles. That's my life. When I wake up angry every day for long enough for me to wake up and be like, what is wrong? I'm angry, I'm exhausted, I'm tired, I don't want to do anything. I just want to lay around. It's just not who I am. And so when you wake up and you think, who am I today? And if it doesn't resonate close to who you want to show up as and who you want to ultimately be in the world for yourself and other people, probably take a look at what's going on. And for me, what was going on was I wasn't delegating. I was keeping everything to myself because I wanted the kudos for it. Or I was honestly, I wasn't even that scared that somebody else couldn't do it. I just wanted to do it. And so I kept everything. said yes to everything. And I started to become a person I didn't like anymore. And I had to really take a look at it. I had to take a look at my team. My team hated me. They, you know, they didn't, I didn't empower them. It was a team of like check-listers. They're just going to do their checklist. They're going to go home afterwards. They weren't invested. weren't bought in. They weren't bought into me for sure. And it sucked. And I was like, I have to carry the load. I didn't have to carry the load. I just had to let some of it go. I had to ask for help. I had to pass out the oars because I was there with my one or like spinning in circles, wondering why no one was helping when I was clearly drowning. And really I had, it was like I was, I had a, you know, a bundle of oars on my back that I was like locked into. They were They were chained to me and I had my one or going, why isn't anyone picking up an or and helping because I had them all. So I had to like unlock it, pass out the oars and allow people the opportunity to help steer the ship instead of me doing everything. And my mental health took a complete 180 that day. Like it, it was incredible. And so I want you guys to take notes from what Dana is saying here. Like take inventory, look at where you. Where are you feeling out of control? Where are you feeling upset? Where are you feeling like this is just too much? And can you, like Dana said, create a schedule that works for you, personal and work. You know what, doctors? Go create a schedule of what you want your day to look like. If you want to do a root canal at 7 a.m. and not 4 p.m., then do a root canal at 7 a.m. and not 4. If you don't want to do root canals, then stop doing root canals. Do whatever you want it to look like. And when you have questions, write in. Dana's here. Dana helps answer. We all help answer those. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. We're happy to help you. So take a look. Where in your schedule can you clear out some of the muck? What can you do to, like she said, compartmentalize your schedule? Let's build it to flow for you. And then like Dana said, what are you doing that you don't have to do? What are you doing that you can delegate out to someone? Trust them, empower them, and speak from your heart with vulnerability. speaking from your heart will be vulnerable every time. And when they know that you're coming from a place of love, they're gonna love you right back. And guess what, if they don't, Dana, what do we do with those people? Dana (25:52) We're not meant to be. The Dental A Team (25:54) Bye bye. They're not meant to be and they're not gonna stick around. You don't even have to do it. They're gonna be like, this is weird and like, I don't really want to do this. So I'm gonna find a new job. And it's like, great. That's awesome. Because now I know why I was overloaded with too much stuff. Because I didn't have the support of someone here with me. So fantastic. Open up that space for me to find someone who can support me on this journey. You are not meant for everyone and everyone's not meant for us. So Dana, tacticals, schedule. Go build your schedule. Make a list of all the crap that you've got on your plate and start looking at what do you have to do versus what can someone else do for you. I also like what do I get to do. Yeah, I agree. Dana (26:34) And I think first, take off the things you don't like doing to right? Like, those are the first things I get rid of, you know, that question where they're like, Hey, would you rather have like a professional chef or hands down, somebody can clean my house. I hate doing that, right? So if there is something you don't like doing, take that off your plate instantly if you can. The Dental A Team (26:41) Agreed. I agree. That's fair. That's fair. I have a friend who loves cleaning baseboards and I'm like, you're crazy. You're psychotic. That's weird. She won't cook a meal. She can't cook a meal to save her life, but she will clean all the baseboards once a week. Nobody's looking at those. I don't think people even have them anymore for that reason. They suck. Anyways, take off the things you don't want to do. Personal and professional. Take off the things you don't want to do. think that's brilliant. Build a schedule. Build a list of the things that you want to do. What do you get to do every day? What do you get to wake up and do every single day that only you can do? And then delegate with honesty, with trust and vulnerability. You guys, mental health is serious and our company fully believes in that. I think there are many podcasts. There are many platforms. Kira and I have spoken out on suicide, mental health awareness, all of those things. They have touched both of us very personally. This company believes in mental health. If you're in a space that you're like, I think I might be there where I need to just talk to someone. You just want to talk. Call us. There's a phone number on our website. Write in. Schedule a call.

Let us be the support. that's going to get you to that next level. Even if it's simply, I've watched Dana do this for so many clients saying, you know what, you can delegate. Sometimes Dana gets to just be the cheerleader behind the person. It's not extravagant. It's not always grandiose. Sometimes it's just saying, yeah, you've got this. Dana, thank you so much for taking this journey with me. This is one of my favorite platforms to speak about and platforms to speak on. So thank you for being here with me today. Dana (28:44) Yeah, thanks. The Dental A Team (28:45) All right, listeners, you know what to do. Drop us a five star review because you know this one was amazing. You can't deny that.

A person struggling with parnasah wakes up each morning hoping that today will be different—that this will be the day when everything turns around. He puts in a full day's work, makes phone calls, attends meetings, and develops new strategies. He pushes himself to his limits—but the income still doesn't come. The bills pile up, each one adding more weight to his already heavy heart. And in quiet moments, he wonders: Is Hashem seeing how much I'm struggling? He opens his siddur and begins to pray, like a child pleading with his father: "I'm doing everything I can. Please help me. Please give me parnasah ." One thing is certain: Hashem—and only Hashem—determines how much parnasah a person will receive. If someone has prayed with all his heart and has not yet seen the results, this does not mean he should give up on his spiritual efforts. On the contrary— if anything will help, it is his tefillah and good deeds. Hashem has countless reasons why a person may need to experience a period of financial challenge. But the moment Hashem decides that it should come to an end, it will end— and not because of any extra physical hishtadlut . A person must learn to both accept and hope. Accept that everything that has happened until this moment was for his absolute best, and hope that going forward, Hashem will provide more. When Hashem wants someone to receive parnasah , He knows exactly how to find him, and He knows exactly how to give it to him. A man told me that when he first came to America, he didn't even speak English. He struggled terribly for three years trying to earn a living, and was having a very hard time. Eventually, he decided to enter the diamond and jewelry trade. He began traveling abroad—one week away, one week at home. That was the nature of the business at the time. He always made sure to return by Friday so he could be home for Shabbat. But once, while abroad, he got sick. A local doctor told him he was too sick to fly, and he was forced to remain there for Shabbat. On Friday morning, he went down to the hotel lobby, hoping to find some fruit—perhaps apples or bananas—for Shabbat. While he was there, another Jew recognized him and asked, "Would you like to come up to my room to see some merchandise? Maybe there's something you'd like to sell." The man was weak and just wanted to return to bed. But the other fellow insisted. "It'll only take a few minutes," he said. So he went upstairs. The man showed him a new style of diamond and said, "Take it. If you sell it, you'll pay me. If not, just give it back." That Sunday, he felt completely better and flew home. On Monday, he showed the diamond to one of his regular customers. The customer was so impressed with the stone that he immediately placed an order for forty of them. This led to a partnership between the two men in the design and production of that diamond—and from that one meeting, he eventually became a multi-millionaire. "Hashem wanted to make me wealthy," he told me. "I barely spoke English, and there weren't many trades I could have gone into. Hashem made me sick just so I would be stuck in that hotel on that Friday and meet the person who was literally holding my future in his room." I read a story about a man who owned a small grocery store. He worked long hours and barely made enough to get by. After years of trying, the business failed and he lost nearly everything. But instead of falling into despair, he accepted Hashem's will with love. He decided to spend more time learning Torah and took a job working in a local yeshivah kitchen, earning just enough to cover his basic expenses. One day, someone approached him. "I always admired your honesty when you ran the grocery store," he said. "I'm looking for someone I can trust to handle the logistics of my real estate operations." That simple conversation turned into a partnership—and within a few years, the man who had once been struggling to make ends meet became a millionaire. When the time came for his financial hardship to end, Hashem knew exactly where to find him and what opportunity to send his way. All success in parnasah comes only from Hashem. He is the only address to turn to for help. And our greatest tools to draw parnasah down from Heaven are tefillah and mitzvos . The person who continues to serve Hashem faithfully, even during times of struggle, will one day see how every step was part of Hashem's perfect plan.

In the lexicon of intimacy, few words are invoked with as much sacred weight and unconscious assumption as trust. We are told it must be earned, built, tested, broken, rebuilt. Yet rarely do we interrogate the ontological architecture beneath this word—its semantic scaffolding, its trauma-coded utility, its egoic disguise.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 5:3In the final episode of our Financial Ethics series, we're tackling a message that promises health and wealth—but often leads to heartache: the prosperity gospel. Dr. David W. Jones joins us to unpack its dangers and point us back to a truly biblical view of blessing and provision.Dr. David W. Jones is Senior Professor of Christian Ethics at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He holds a Ph.D. in Christian Financial Ethics and is the co-author of Health, Wealth, and Happiness: How the Prosperity Gospel Overshadows the Gospel of Christ by Dr. W. Jones and Russell S. Woodbridge.Faith Is Not a TransactionOne of the most dangerous ideas in the prosperity gospel is that faith guarantees financial prosperity. It treats faith like a force—a tool believers can wield to compel God's blessings.But biblical faith isn't self-generated or transactional. It is a gift from God, a response to His revealed grace, and a means by which we trust Him, not a lever to gain wealth. Faith is “the eyesight of the soul”—deeply rational and rooted in the truth of who God is, not in wishful thinking or material expectations.Prosperity theology often preaches a “faith formula”: believe hard enough, and you'll be rewarded. But this distorts faith into a mechanism for personal gain. Hebrews 11:1 tells us that faith is “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” It's not irrational optimism—it's a reasoned trust in the unseen promises of God.We should view faith not as a way to escape hardship or secure abundance but as a path of trusting God in all things, including suffering.The Problem with Escaping SufferingOne hallmark of the prosperity gospel is its aversion to suffering. But as Jones points out, suffering is part of living in a fallen world—and it's not something Scripture tells us to avoid at all costs. In fact, passages like 1 Peter 4:12 and 2 Timothy 3:12 remind us that suffering is to be expected for faithful followers of Christ.Rather than hinder our faith, suffering refines it. Suffering is the crucible of character. It's often through trials that we grow closest to Christ and are shaped into His likeness.God's Provision Comes Through WorkAnother distortion in prosperity teaching is the expectation of windfalls—blessings that come without effort. But God's design for provision is through work. From the beginning, humans were created to labor and create, reflecting the image of God.Working, creating, and flourishing through effort honors our design and brings fulfillment. Attempts to bypass God's design through get-rich-quick schemes ultimately violate our dignity and God's intended path for flourishing.Prosperity preachers often misuse Scripture to back their claims. One example is 2 Corinthians 8:9: “That though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.”Taken out of context, it may sound like a promise of material wealth. But in its context, Paul is referring to our spiritual poverty and Christ's sacrifice to make us spiritually rich—context matters. Misreading Scripture to fit a materialistic theology distorts the gospel's central message.Giving as Grace, Not GreedProsperity theology often frames giving as a transaction: sow a seed to receive a harvest. But biblical generosity isn't about personal return—it's about grace.True giving flows from love for God and neighbor. We give not to get, but because we've already received so much. Our stewardship reflects our gratitude, not our greed. The heart of biblical giving is a response to God's grace, not a strategy for personal gain.Make your life about Christ, not your increase, not your own prosperity, but about flourishing in the image of His Son.That's the true antidote to the prosperity gospel. We aren't promised wealth, ease, or success. But we are promised Christ—and in Him, we find every blessing that matters.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 64 and planning to retire within the next year. I have approximately $10,000 that I won't need for income, and I'm seeking guidance on how to invest it wisely. I'm especially interested in options that align with biblical values and reflect my faith in the companies I support.My wife and I are approaching retirement. We're financially secure, and our home is fully paid off. One concern I have is not having long-term care insurance.

Presented by Lauren Stibgen Staying quiet when you are in conflict is hard! I know I have been guilty of saying too much during a conflict—especially if it is something I am passionate about! Getting wound-up during a conflict is easy. You have a point of view, and you think it is the right point of view. Maybe you have stated your point of view, but it seems like no one is listening. Perhaps you are experiencing a conflict and don't know what to say, or you feel plain defeated in trying to continually do the right things and it doesn't seem to get you anywhere. Are your words empty? The Bible cautions of the words that we use. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words (Matthew 6:7). Are you talking a lot but without a lot of substance? Proverbs 21:35 in the message translation also warns, Watch your words and hold your tongue; you'll save a lot of grief (Proverbs 21:35). In the heat of a conflict, you can often say things you don't want to say. My greatest encouragement is to tell you to remember it is ultimately God that fights your battles. He even calls us to be silent. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still (Exodus 14:14). Have you ever tried deploying silence and waiting for the Lord to work on your behalf in a conflict? In the world this is counter intuitive. We are told to speak up and to fight for our point of view. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6). In this silence and waiting, turn to the Lord in prayer. Those empty words that you may say during a conflict are better used in a silent prayer to God to step in for you. Prayer is powerful. It draws you near to the Lord and helps you increase your trust that he knows the plans he has for you.

This episode is about the sneaky ways we try to stay in control, especially when it comes to the things we say we want help with. Every time I let someone lead in their zone of genius, I get incredible results. My massage therapist, my hair girl, my nail tech, even my car detailer. When I step back and let them do what they do best, magic happens. So why, when it comes to the Universe or my guides, literally the experts in divine orchestration, I suddenly think I know better? In this episode, I break down: What happens when you stop trying to call all the shots… and actually let the Universe do its thing?

In this episode, I sit down with Jessica Lane, founder of Data-Informed Impact, to unpack the critical role of data in K-12 education—and how to use it responsibly, effectively, and equitably. Jessica shares her expertise on building a strong data culture in schools, improving data literacy, and creating clear, ethical data visualizations that empower—not overwhelm—educators and leaders.We explore the often-overlooked human side of data: how to build trust around data use, avoid duplicative processes that drain educators' time, and leverage data to evaluate systems. Jessica also offers insights into how different stakeholders—teachers, administrators, district leaders—use data from both micro and macro lenses, and how EdTech plays a role in the broader data landscape.Whether you're a classroom teacher, building leader, or part of a district team, this conversation will help you think critically about using data as a tool for improvement—not just compliance.Key Topics Covered:✔️ Building a positive and ethical data culture in schools✔️ Improving data literacy for educators and leaders✔️ How to design accessible, meaningful data visualizations✔️ Strategies to streamline administrative processes and reduce redundancy✔️ Student data use and privacy✔️ Understanding the micro vs. macro data needs across K-12 stakeholdersAbout Our Guest:As the founder of Data-Informed Impact, Jessica Lane is known for turning webs of data into easy-to-leverage visual dashboards, systems, and training for K-12 schools – fully equipping leaders and teachers to close the student success gap together.

With 10+ years of experience from all angles of the classroom, Jessica's a former data coach, instructional coach, certified math teacher, and holds a Master of Education in learning and technology. Proudly data-informed and people-driven, she believes that data can tell great student success stories, if we let it guide, not decide, how to lead education forward.Jessica currently lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she can often be found excitedly exploring spreadsheets, brain studies, Brené Brown books, and puzzles. And when she's not partnering with schools, she's caring for her darling daughter, Emmy, or one of her 50 houseplants.You can connect with Jessican on her website at: https://www.data-informedimpact.com/Learn about her Data Culture Framework here: https://www.data-informedimpact.com/3-domains-of-diiLearn about her Re-Teaching Cycle Template and other Templates here: https://www.data-informedimpact.com/templatesConnect with Jessica on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/informedimpact/ We're thrilled to be sponsored by IXL.

In this episode of Experiencing Data, I chat with Irina Malkova who is the VP of AI Engineering and VP of Data and Analytics for Tech and Product at Salesforce. Irina shares how her teams are reinventing internal analytics, combining classic product data work with cutting-edge AI engineering—and her recent post on LinkedIn titled “AI adoption moves at the speed of user trust,” having a strong design-centered perspective, inspires today's episode. (I even quoted her on this in a couple recent product design conference talks I gave!) In today's drop, Irina shares how they're enabling analytical insights at Salesforce via a Slack-based AI agent, how they have changed their AI and engineering org structures (and why), the bad advice they got on organizing their data product teams, and more. This is a great episode for senior data product and AI executives managing complex orgs and technology environments who want to see how Salesforce is scaling AI for smarter, faster decisions.

We're all well-aware of the stigma associated with men's mental health. Men are often told overtly or covertly to be just be quiet, do your job, and get your work done. And, while there is certainly some validity to us getting the job done when people are relying on us, it's also valid to consider the mental and emotional battles we often fight as men. Today, I am joined by retired Green Beret, Nick O'Kelly to talk about his time in service the mental and emotional anguish he faced, and what he's done to overcome the challenges of anxiety, depression, and even suicidal ideation. We talk about how a man begins to confront these issues, finding the balance between bearing down and getting the help we need, how to find teams and avenues of support without feeling weak, and how to confront the stigma (even though we all deal with it) of men's mental health SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 - Men's Mental Health Stigma 01:05 - Balancing Pride and Duty 03:12 - Debating Vulnerability 04:27 - Military Career Transitions 06:36 - Family Dynamics and Decisions 09:22 - Managing Career Expectations 11:36 - Spousal Support and Sacrifice 14:36 - Masculine and Feminine Dynamics 18:37 - Expectation Management Challenges 21:23 - Trust in Relationships 25:16 - Decision-Making Struggles 28:26 - Imposter Syndrome in Financial Planning 31:58 - Onset of Mental Health Struggles 37:55 - Consequences of Seeking Help 43:29 - Personal Anxiety Experience 47:32 - Spiritual and Physiological Factors 52:29 - High Achievers and Mental Health 54:16 - Connecting with Nick's Work Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

Tom Bilyeu welcomes entrepreneur and media powerhouse Patrick Bet-David, founder of Valuetainment, for a masterclass on leadership, politics, and the high-stakes challenges currently facing America. Together, Tom and Patrick dive into a rapid-fire analysis of Donald Trump's performance as president, dissecting his leadership style as a project manager and the enormous complexity of running multiple high-impact agendas at once. The pair examine where Trump excels, where his administration fumbled—most notably the Epstein scandal—and how the media narrative profoundly shapes public opinion. This jam-packed first half delves into international challenges with China, trade negotiations, and the difficulties of moving public policy quickly in a hyper-scrutinized environment. Patrick shares candid perspectives on which advisors are moving the needle, why tariffs matter, and how Elon Musk's long-game may disrupt American party politics.

Life is constantly changing energetically! Sonia C. is keeping up with the fast pace of life, and Sonia T. recognizes that her year has been full of energetic ebbs and flows. Everything is changing moment to moment, so it's time to give grace, keep grounded, and trust the energy. You just may be amazed at what happens as a result! This week's theme is: Trust your intuition and your logic. Highlights: Don't fight the energetic pull. Trust it! [:30] Sonia C.'s beeline has turned into a zigzag. [4:05] Two truths can co-exist at the same time. [5:45] You can be in your heart and in your head. [8:51] AI technology can help you stay present and connected.

But when change is brewing, it can be easy to start to wonder if logic or intuition is driving the train. The answer can be both! Have confidence that your spirit guides will lead you exactly where you are meant to be next.

Don't be afraid to laugh out loud with your people, and never feel shame in your tears – they are a clear sign of an open heart!
