This is Kiera and gosh, I decided to shake up the background and hang out in my house and have you come hang out with me. And so if you're watching this, welcome. This is the studio. This is where I live. This is where I hang out and just trying a couple different things. I really obsessed about making this podcast a space where you feel like you're hanging out with me in my living room. And we're just sitting here.   chatting shop, we're sitting here talking about all things dentistry. And today I wanted to just go through a quick episode with you guys of how we can improve our conversion rates. So there's a couple quick levers of how we can improve our calls, our being able to get our forms and documents and being able to do this without spending more time because that's something that we all wanna do. And so ⁓ I think it's a lot of times like how can we convert our calls better? How can we get things done a little bit more efficiently? Do we do AI? Do we not do AI? And so.   I really feel like just small improvements. You guys know on Dental A team, I'm obsessed about small little improvements done to create efficiencies. I remember I was in a practice and they said, ⁓ okay, Kiera, like come on in, we wanna see you. And I went in and we were able to add about 13,000 to their practice. And they were like, Kiera, what did you do? I'm like, what did I do? It was just very simple, easy things. was, ⁓ we had patients stop at the front desk and start making their payments so we were able to make our collections higher.   We had them doing a handoff to their team of what were the next steps. So that way the patient felt confident of what they were doing next. ⁓ and we just scheduled patients. We assumed the yes. And those are not hard things. Those are not sexy things. Those things are just things that are going to help you guys tremendously. And so today it's like, let's figure out how we can convert a few more things. So. Dental A Team is truly a company where I believe that growing and having sustainable growth comes from optimizing before we spend more. And I know that it feels so.   Alluring and something that I want to do is I want to spend more and I want to get the magic pill and the reality is that you can probably get the exact same results with minimal effort if we just optimize a little things and so figuring out how we can catch more missed calls or how we can convert more new patients or figuring out how we can get more patients to say yes to treatment is something that's really really fun   A Team's podcast is tactical, practical, implementable. That's how we operate. That's how we like to consult. And I love working with practices. I love being able to see you guys ⁓ in your offices, being able to do things, ⁓ being able to just live your best life. Life is our passion. Dentistry is our platform. So, all right, you guys ready to dig in? Because I'm ready to dig in. The number one thing is, let's talk about our phone calls and optimizing our phone calls.   because that is our number one zone. And I think it's crazy how much we spend on marketing to get these new patients and how much we work on having a great patient experience. And then we have our newest trained person that knows nothing about our practice answering our most important phone calls. And so things on this are like when we miss phone calls or we don't handle a phone call correctly, those are little lost opportunities. And this isn't to rag on our front office team. We're busy. You guys, I've sat in the front office. I prioritize the patient in front of me over the phone. And so what are some little things that we can do?   And there are softwares. There's like patient prism and they're like, I pretty sure with weave, they have them where we can actually track and monitor and see our, ⁓ our phone calls and see how we're doing. But we want to just help our front office team. Like it is crazy. Jason, husband told me, ⁓ he was like, yeah, I, Kiera, if you don't like what someone tells you at a practice, just wait, call back and you'll get someone else and you'll get a different answer. And I think about that in practices and how often are we possibly doing this? How often is our practice maybe.   doing it where we actually are having Susie follow protocol and Sarah isn't and therefore Susie is undercut, but Sarah was trying to do what's right. They're both trying to do what's right. So this is where we're at front office teams. Let's make sure we're all saying the same thing. So no matter if they get Sarah or Susie or Kiera or Jason or John, every single one of them is the exact same. And this is going to help. So number one, we need to have actually in the front office team, especially usually there's quite a few of them. We need to make sure that one person   is dedicated to like first on phone, second on phone, third on phones. So everybody knows like, hey, what is the ring, the ring place? Now, if you're a really large practices, sometimes they put it in a call center. All those are totally fine, but we need to make sure that every single person is actually optimizing our phone calls. And so it is a, you can even get a phone tree where we optimize new patients. We have a line for billing questions. So that way we can actually know which phone call should I prioritize and know exactly this is a new patient phone call. Now, when we,   When we answer the phone, I actually put mirrors in front of a lot of our team members. We want them to smile. We want the patient to feel the energy on the other side of it. We want them to feel like they chose the best place. And I actually feel this is one of the greatest ways to optimize is if you just give your patients a little bit different experience on the phone of like, we are so excited to have you call us versus we are annoyed that you bothered us in the middle of our day. That tone and intonation is going to help patients say yes or no a lot more to you.   I remember, and I shared this example a few years ago, I was trying to find a PT and I called around to a bunch of different locations and I literally chose the place based on how they answered the phone. And I think I truly believe in today's world of AI and automations that what is going to become the number one differentiator more than cost, more than anything else is kindness. Kindness and customer service is going to be what far outshines most everything else because it's becoming a trait. ⁓   People are grumpy, people have the COVID cranks still, people are annoyed. I walk into stores and like, we're closing in 30 minutes. I'm like, fantastic, I'll just shop on Amazon. They don't yell at me. This is where I think we need to recognize our society and people want to be loved. We are human beings, we are human connections. And so really being able to give that. it is about, let's answer the phone. Let's have our intonations and our tone and that big smile.   And then let's make sure that we're following protocols. So how we block schedule, how we schedule patients, how we handle a new patient phone call. New patient phone calls are great to optimize. It is a, like we take control of it instead of saying, you have insurance? It's amazing. How did you hear about us? Let's change that tone and that vibe. So that way they feel like, my gosh, like I heard about you on Google. We absolutely love our patients. Like our Google reviews are what we're so proud of. And we strive to make sure that you as a patient coming in.   are going to be able to leave us those same reviews because you have the best experience with the best dentist. I'm Kiera, it's so nice to meet you. Let's get you all ready and set up for your appointment. What are we looking for? we coming in like when was the last time we saw the dentist? I want to make sure I set you up for the right type of appointment. We just take a few minutes to be human. A new patient phone call can literally be done in five minutes and make them feel human. It's taking control of the conversation initially. It is saying.   Hi, how did you hear about us? I'm Kiera, welcome to our practice. I know you're absolutely going to love it here. Let's get a couple of information. Let me start with your name, your phone number in case we ever get disconnected. I'm gonna make sure I get you so taken care of and we truly cannot wait to welcome you into our practice. ⁓ And then we go through, if they have insurance, fantastic. If they don't, if they're on an insurance plan that we don't take, that's fine guys. These people can still come. want you to, I'm gonna drill this down so hard on optimization of our phone calls. ⁓   Just because a patient doesn't have insurance, we are not going to let $1,000 dictate if this person comes to see us or not. You guys, $1,000, I know that not all insurances are 1,000, but that's usually about the max, but they pay so much more than that. And this is about a long-term relationship rather than a short-term transaction. I'm going to say that again, our new patients, it is about a long-term relationship rather than a short-term transaction. And if we can remind them of this is the greatest place, you're so welcome to be here. You're so like, we are so happy to have you here.   People choose that all day long. People want to know they're on a winning team. So how can we make them feel like they made the absolute best choice by choosing our practice? And I want you to audit phone calls. So for the next couple of days, I would like, and we actually track, we have trackers where it's like, let's get our new patient trackers and how many of these new patient phone calls scheduled and didn't schedule. And if you have your front office team track this for about one week, they will actually be able to see how many new patients are actually getting, how many are we converting and why are we not converting it.   Then if we actually listen to these calls back, we can fine tune one or two statements and be able to optimize and get people to come in. You guys like, this is one of the things I'm like, I don't know how much more easy I can make this for you. But if we just prioritize two or three little things on our phone calls, making sure we all schedule correctly, that we welcome them and we're excited and we just role play this for the next month, you will absolutely increase your practice. I promise you, because we're going to convert more phone calls. We're going to have more happy patients.   We're going to have patients who are more excited to come to the dentist because they're already feeling welcomed. These are little things that don't make a big, like they don't seem grandiose, but they make a huge, huge, huge impact. so making sure that we're optimizing that you guys, the phone is one of your most powerful resources in your practice. And if we have like, you do not want your billing representative and billers, this is nothing against you. am not a great biller. I was like, I don't want to go to bat. I don't want to go figure out the one penny you do. And that's why we have different roles.   You want somebody who's so excited, who loves your practice. ⁓ I've had front office team members that are in this role that are from like tanning salons or from a high end customer service or from a waiter waitress situation or a hostess situation where they just love and they want to welcome and they want to greet and they're so excited and they just make that person feel like a million bucks. so making sure that our phone calls are optimized really truly is going to help us and help us really ensure that our practice is optimized. And so with that new patient phone call,   It is a, let's snag them at the beginning, let's ask them how they heard about us, let's capitalize on that, let's find out what type of cleaning that they want or what they're calling for or when the last time was that they went to the dentist and then let's schedule them appropriately with VIP customer service. And then what I typically do is if we are using insurance, I say, fantastic, I'm gonna send over our new patient welcome information right now while I've got you on the phone, make sure it gets to you. And then I do need to get that back 48 hours before your appointment to make sure it's confirmed. Did you get that email from me?   Fantastic. When can I expect to see this? I want to make sure I don't miss it for you. And that way I can get your patient, your appointment confirmed. I have them commit to me right here, right then, because if I do that, this patient's already more locked and loaded to come into me. They've committed that they're going to get this back to me in the next two days. I'm going to look for it. And if you really, really want to stand out and shine on customer service, following up in two days, hey, Kiera, I didn't see that paperwork come through. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it. You can set little reminders for yourself. This is not hard.   and listening as front office, you be like, my gosh. But I wanna say what is actually hard? Choose your hard on this. Chasing a patient, not getting my insurance until the day of being, like having new patients, no show on appointments, that's hard. Me following up in two days on their paperwork and making sure that they give it to me so I can, 48 hours ahead of time to make sure their appointment's confirmed, that's not hard. That's just a shift of your process that optimizes your process and makes it to where you actually have a ton less work. It feels like hard work today.   Just like if I were to say, okay, go sign your name. You're like, okay, I can sign it. Got it. If I say, okay, now sign your name, but you have to sign it every other letter, that's going to feel hard because that's actually easier than you signing all the letters. And if you practice every other letter a few more times, you actually become faster at that than you were at your initial signature. So just because it's different doesn't mean that it's hard and it's not efficient. It just means you're doing it as a different way. And so really looking at that and seeing how can I actually make this to where we can optimize our phone calls. And that's what we're going into.   You guys, just a small optimization of our phone calls, of how we operate, of how we ask for information, that's going to cut down so much more time that allows you to be in front of your patients, because you're not chasing all these forms all the time. I promise you, get patients to commit to you before they even get into your practice, and you're going to have a completely different practice. And so I want you just to remember that this is a great way for you to optimize on a phone call. Now, there's several other ways that we can optimize. We can optimize on our handoffs. You guys have heard me talk about NDTR about a thousand times.   We optimize on that and I say it's like, we don't just get a drop a sheet with our front office or we drop a patient and say like, good luck. It's a, we hand them off so they know exactly what they're doing. We hand them off every single time. It is a well-oiled baton and we practice that consistently from front office to back office, back office. Like let's not like bicker towards each other. Let's figure out what does front office information need to give us so that way we are all set for our appointment. And then what does clinical team need to make sure is in the notes so our insurance claims go out correctly.   And then what does clinical team need to bring to the front office? So that way it's a smooth handoff. And what do doctors need to say to team members? So that way we get all the information necessary while making sure the patient's front and center. That small optimization, which I will do on another podcast for you with the handoffs and the different pieces are going to be able to make it to where your patients absolutely 100 % schedule their appointments. And people are like, but it's so hard to do. Choose your hard guys. This is not hard. You want to add an up level your practice?   Optimize your phone calls, optimize your handoffs, optimize your life. I promise you, patients can feel perfection. These are things that I would recommend you do on a monthly, weekly basis where we role play this out until we perfect it and this is how we operate it. Do you think at Disneyland that they just like hope and pray that those things are gonna work out and that's gonna be perfect? The answer is no. They practice, they role play, they practice, they do it. They make sure that the way people are talking to guests is the exact same way no matter who it is and they employ hundreds and thousands of people.   So in your practice, you think that this would be doable? I hope you say yes, because when we can optimize, when we can make sure that our phone calls are the most important thing and our handoffs are the second most important thing, your patients will feel that. And then we get raving fans and then we get the reviews. You guys, reviews aren't just happenstance. Reviews are intentional. It's because they can feel the process throughout. They feel loved, they feel cared about, and they feel like you are going to take care of them. So optimize, you guys. This is the time for you to just optimize.   to have it to where it's so much easier for you, to where you're able to really, really, really drive these patients forward. So as a quick recap, let's talk about it. Number one, we're going to shine and outshine our competition by kindness and customer service. And that might be a theme that I'd roll out to your practice this year of kindness and customer service. We want patients to feel wanted in our practice and we want them to feel excited to be here with us. So what we do from there is we make sure we find out when we take a new patient phone call, what exactly, how did they hear about us?   We tell them they're on the winning team. This is the best place for them. We scheduled the appropriate appointment. We have the correct information. And then we ask for their paperwork back to confirm their appointment. Just that small shift is gonna change a lot of things for you. And then we optimize our handoffs so we're not just dropping people off. We're optimizing front offices giving clinical team the correct amount of Clinical team, think of how happy you'd be if the paperwork is already in there before the patient arrived and you're able to take your patients back on time. That would be like a hallelujah. Everybody would pop confetti and we'd say thank you.   Also, clinical team members, shout out when you do get that. Go tell your front office thank you, because what we praise typically gets repeated. So make sure that we're saying thank you for that. We take them back on time, information's passed to our doctor, doctor's back to us, us up to the front office, and we have the correct information on our claims, and we're giving that feedback of, if claims are being denied, let's tell each other what's being missed. We get those things fixed. You guys, your practice will be.   next level. And this is something where, yes, we always look for optimization and dollars on the schedule. And I will tell you, we can add 5,000, 10,000, 20,000 very quickly, but it's through very, very, very simple things. And simple does not mean easy. And I think that that's where people shy away from this, but I'm going to encourage you to be the practice that's optimized, optimizing the little ways. Maybe we use AI, maybe we listen to phone calls, patient prism, other, other platforms that are going to be great for you. Let's, let's actually have somebody go through and video our handoffs of a patient.   Like, let's just see it. Let's watch it back. Think about pit stops. There's a great YouTube video where they do a pit stop that was optimized in ⁓ racing and they practice it over and over and over and they timed themselves and they got better and better and better to where it was so fast and everybody knew exactly what they were supposed to do. And I think about a practice that way. Are we optimizing? Are we practicing the most important things? Are we obsessing about crazy things that really aren't moving the needle forward? That's your challenge. That's your choice. And if we can help you with this,   These are things I'm happy to share our new patient phone call script. Reach out Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. Happy to share it and like, let's chat. Let's chat about your practice. Let's talk about what things we could optimize. What areas could we make more efficient for you? This is what I obsess about doing. This is what our team obsesses about doing. This is why we created Dental A Team. Things don't need to be hard for you to have success. And I encourage you to do that. Reach out Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. And as always, thanks for listening. I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team podcast.

Fight the Power! In this episode, we learn from pastor and theologian Helmut Thielecke about the gods we worship, the God that encounters us, and what technology actually does to us. What do Satan's temptations teach us about Jesus, God's Word, piety, and making sense of mystery? Is Christianity supposed to be a sensible religion? What kind of "opium" does the evil one offer us to lead us away from the Truth? What is distinctive about the worshippers of the God of power? What happens when technology becomes a means of power rather than merely a tool? What does God's fight for the world look like, and how does it conclude?

In this chilling collection of four darkly seductive tales, host Malcolm Blackwood invites you to step behind the mirror—into a world where vanity becomes a trap, elegance hides a pulse, and the pursuit of perfection opens doors best left closed. A girl desperate to belong follows her friends somewhere she shouldn't. A bride-to-be falls for a dress that loves her a little too much. A newlywed brings home a bouquet whose roots reach deeper than soil. And a young woman slips into a garment that promises a flawless silhouette… at a terrible cost. Alluring, atmospheric, and quietly devastating, Beauty Bites explores the dangerous hunger lurking beneath the surface of the things we admire most.

Today's reflection is written by Lani Bogart.

“Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections, but instead set about remedying them—every day begin the task anew.”St. Francis de Sales

Muazh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه (S32) Muazh رضي الله عنه warns the people of a severe test: Ease. Many assume difficulties are a harder test, however ease is a much bigger concern. It is a greater threat to progress than difficulty. The Messenger ﷺ: “The little and sufficient is better than the abundant and alluring”. Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه advised the Companions (رضي الله عنهم): “…It is better for you to be beheaded than swim in the intoxications of this world”. Hasan Ibn Ali رضي الله عنهم: “The least of the world is sufficient. The whole of it doesn't enrich you”.

Guy Jenkin is a multi Emmy and Bafta winning writer. Along with Andy Hamilton, he co-wrote the sitcoms 'Drop the Dead Donkey' and 'Outnumbered'. He also worked on the films 'What We Did On Our Holiday', and 'The Sleeping Dictionary'.His new novel is called 'Murder Most Foul', a witty and fast-paced Tudor detective novel that plays with fact and fiction. In the middle of a deadly plague outbreak in 1593, William Shakespeare is implicated in the murder of his friend and rival, Christopher Marlowe. Teaming up with Marlowe's sister and his former flame Ann, they embark on a quest to clear his name, uncovering a web of treachery and corruption that inspires Shakespeare's future masterpieces.You can hear how much he enjoyed the research, so much so that he had to drag himself away to finally write the story. He reveals why it's normally the smallest, hardest to find details, that bring the story to life. We discuss why it's taken him so long to write a novel, after a long career in screenwriting, and how he learned to actually do it.We talk about 'Outnumbered', and why it was much more scripted than many believed, and what it taught him about writing novels.You can support the show at -patreon.com/writersroutineko-fi.com/writersroutineGet a copy of the book - uk.bookshop.org/shop/writersroutine@writerspodwritersroutine.com Hosted on Acast.

I saw a reel on Instagram recently (don't judge me) of a sheep being rescued from a ditch it had gotten stuck in. With great effort and intention, the farmer pulled it out only to watch it leap a few yards further down the row and jump right back into the same ditch! Although it is a rather funny video, it is also a vivid picture of the ways in which we get ourselves back into trouble spiritually only moments after being rescued by Jesus. This week in our "Unhinged" series, we will discover that often the most dangerous places for us can look deceivingly good to everyone around us...and yet we may die in the ditch. The heartbeat of Church on the Rock is to help people discover how they can LOVE God and LOVE one another, LIVE with passion, purpose and freedom, and LEAD others to this same experience in Jesus. We simply say, “helping others Love, Live, and Lead in Jesus".

God's love is so great that He pursues and saves us in spite of the depth of our rebellion and sin.

Welcome to the Daily Disciple Podcast. As daily disciples, we seek to adore and follow Jesus, our teacher, into the abundant life that he offers. Because we find Jesus to be irresistible and fascinating and incredibly practical, we want to be students of his scripture. Today's episode is found in Ruth 3 "Alluring and Covering"

In a world filled with uncertainty and darkness, the apostle John reminds us of a truth that is unshakable: Jesus Christ, the Word of Life, has been revealed to us. In 1 John 1:1 – 2:2, we are invited to walk in fellowship with God by walking in the light — a life of honesty, repentance, and grace. This passage calls us to examine how we live, to confess our sins, and to trust in the faithful forgiveness of Christ, who is our Advocate before the Father.

Economic promises often take center stage in politics, dazzling voters with the allure of quick fixes and populist cure. However, as history has repeatedly shown, well-intentioned financial interventions can lead to unforeseen consequences, distorting markets and triggering economic crises. As we approach the 2024 presidential election, candidates on both sides of the aisle are once again offering a range of fiscal proposals that may sound appealing but could potentially harm the very people they aim to help. Thomas Vartanian shares how we can discern between genuine solutions and potentially harmful populist promises.

Kurt Takes Twat Lessons.In 8 parts, based on the works of Bardot1990. Listen to the ► Podcast at ExplicitNovels.At the end of first period Paula Fuller happened upon a casual friend, Kurt Kuhlmann, Denise Allen’s boyfriend. Paula and Kurt had several classes together; they had a casual relationship. Paula served as Kurt’s occasional confidant, a relationship that came about due to Kurt’s friendship with one of Paula’s ex-boyfriends. Kurt and Paula’s friendship outlasted that relationship and had taken on a life of its own.“Hey Kurt!” Paula challenged. “Whatcha doin’?”Kurt responded, “Meh. Have you seen Denise? I can’t find her.”Paula was aware of Denise’s “every three days” rule and the rationale behind it. (Denise liked being blasted with a cum tsunami as opposed to a series of smaller pops.) Paula empathized with Kurt. She listened to his gripes about being subject to Denise’s cunny ration.“It’s Thursday!” Paula laughed. “You must be ready!”Kurt’s look of woe contradicted the happy face he usually displayed on his scheduled days with Denise.“Uh-oh,” Paula cautioned.“I don’t wanna talk about it,” Kurt groused.He could hide his disappointment at being shunted aside by his girlfriend. His “acceptance” of Denise’s caveat that morning had caused a rift between them. Sharon Minor had recently given him a mini-blowjob to assuage his fragile ego. Still, Kurt sought out Denise, hoping that she might re-consider. He mentioned most of this to Paula, all except the mini-blowjob part. Secretly, he hoped Paula might follow Sharon’s lead. Paula would certainly be less empathetic given knowledge of Kurt’s congress with Sharon.Paula Fuller went to her second period class consumed with concern over her friend Kurt’s problem. Of course, she knew all the pertinent details. Kurt wasn’t shy about spreading his business around. She often assured him that most boys his age cum as soon as they get it in. Women expect it. It’s not the first insertion that makes for an enjoyable fuck session; it’s usually the third, Paula suggested, when a man’s cock sensitivity has diminished.Paula knew that this fact would do little to allay Kurt’s ego. She knew, too, the person most in need of this bit of insight was Denise. Alas, she and Denise weren’t close enough to discuss the vagaries of unprotected Cuntl sex. If Paula even deigned to broach the subject, Denise would know she’d been having intimate conversations with Kurt.Even as Paula considered Kurt’s plight, she was mindful of her own need. Where was that damned James Kittridge? He seemed to be possessed of an unusual measure of stamina. Their sessions earlier that week had been decidedly memorable, cooling Paula’s rampant Cuntl burn with precision. Paula was in dire need of a top off. Perhaps she might find James and use him to clear her mind, using his dick.That was her intent, anyway.Paula rushed from her second period class to the school gym, hopeful of heading James off at the pass. Her blood was up. She’d gone without the day before. She thought that James might be amenable to a quickie, maybe not with dick, but certainly with some tongue. Her cunny moistened with anticipation.James was nowhere to be found. He didn’t even show up to gym class. Dejected, Paula trudged off to her third period class. She passed Denise Allen in the hallway and nodded a cordial hello. Denise recognized Paula as part of Kurt’s extended circle. She didn’t know the nature of Paula and Kurt’s friendship, but didn’t think much of her. Denise acknowledged Paula’s nod rather less cordially than it had been offered.It was a diss. Paula took Denise’s coolness as a slight. They were women. Cattiness came as part and parcel of the genre.Now it occurred to Paula that she might have a card to play in this newly perceived melodrama: Kurt Kuhlmann. Kurt and Denise were at loggerheads, right? And this friggin’ cunt had the nerve to friggin’ diss? James might not be available, but Kurt certainly was. Besides, he was a friend. And he needed some attention. Right?Resolutely, Paula went in search of Kurt. She snagged him just as the third period bell sounded. He was already seated in class. Paula peeked into his classroom. She caught his eye and gave him the “C'mere” look. Kurt immediately responded, stepping into the hallway beside her.“Listen,” Paula said, “If you’ve got a few minutes to spare, I want to talk.”“Sure,” Kurt said.“Kurt, I’ve been thinking about your problem. I keep trying to tell you that it happens to all men, but you don’t want to listen. If you like, I can show you a few things that might help.”“Whaddaya mean?” Kurt responded quizzically.“I saw your girlfriend in the hall a few minutes ago. She dissed me for no reason. I don’t like her, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. I can show you some things. Maybe you can get her back. If you want her.”This was Sharon’s schpiel, too. Kurt immediately recognized Paula’s offer as booty call. How Denise’s diss metastasized into a booty call wasn’t his concern. First, Sharon had given him a mini-suck. Now Paula wanted in on the game. Kurt reckoned that his relationship problems tended to be cunt magnet. He resolved to have more of them.“Show me some things? Like what?” he asked, already knowing the upshot.“Follow me,” Paula advised.By now the school hallways had cleared considerably. Paula and Kurt had the main thoroughfares to themselves. Paula explained her rationale.“Kurt, this problem you have with Denise’s, er, ‘snapper’, is very common. I’ve told you this before. You get it, in, and all of a sudden its over. That’s good for you. But it’s bad for her. From what you’ve told me, she doesn’t seem to mind if you’re, quick. She minds that your, your, 'Money shot’, isn’t forceful enough. Do I have that right?”Kurt nodded in agreement.“OK. You’re lucky. Most women want you to have a little more stamina. As I see it, what you need is a method to stock up on blast fuel. That way, when you , 'Finish’, she can feel the, 'Rush.”Again, Kurt nodded his assent. In his mind he was thinking that Paula was going to suggest an artificial supplement that suppresses semen delivery while narrowing the delivery pipe, thus increasing the force of delivery. He’d done some PVC sprinkler work; the concept of successively narrowing pipes to increase delivery pressure was familiar to him.Paula continued.“Kurt, what you have to do is put it in, move it around a bit, and then pull it out just Before the, Finish, becomes inevitable.”“Pull it out?” Kurt wondered, bewildered at the thought.“Yes, Kurt. Pull it out. Pull it out and don’t touch it. Let it catch its breath. Then try her again.”“I don’t know if I can do that. It all happens so fast.”“Well, the idea is to develop a tolerance. It’s like taking a hit of cocaine. The first time you do it, it blows you away. Maybe the second time, too. But after that it takes more and more cocaine to do the trick. You develop a tolerance. You need to develop a tolerance for, you know, cunt.”“But she can suck me or we can do it up the booty and I don’t cum too fast,” he commiserated.“We’re not talking about her mouth or her ass, Kurt. We’re talking about her CUNNY.”“She cums when I put it up her cunt,” Kurt protested.“Yeh, but she wants a quality orgasm, Kurt. There’s a difference between cumming and CUMMING.”“So what do you suggest?” Kurt asked.“Well. I didn’t want to do this, us being friends and all. And you can’t make too much out of it. I’ll only do it this once. You understand?”Kurt was very aware of where this conversation was headed. And very appreciative.Ten minutes later Kurt and Paula were naked together in the back of a throwback Dodge van in the school parking lot. The vision of Paula’s hairless Cunt had Kurt’s phallus rocketing skyward. He didn’t know that her shaven cunt indicated, to her female friends, a recent sexual encounter.“Wow! You have a big one!” Paula mused, pointing to his lumbering cock. “I don’t think I can take it right off the bat. Can you lick me before you stick me?”Actually, this was a lie. Paula was fully capable of engulfing the big ones on sight. She was already wet. She just wanted some head. What girl doesn’t? Kurt readily agreed. What boy wouldn’t?Paula lay back on the van’s faux shag carpet, opening her legs for Kurt’s consideration. He marveled at her nakedness. Her proportions were perfection itself. Paula’s tits were pink and perky, and they wobbled like peach gelatin, ever so slightly each time she moved. Her abdomen, too, was free of excess, not athletically tight, but very softly feminine. Of course, her navel was an “innie”. There was a freshness about her that contrasted nicely with that glint of lust in her green eyes. Her smile was guileless. She had two rabbit’s teeth that were a bit larger than her others; her lips mimicked the heart shape of her vulva. They were red and sensual without the addition of lipstick. She looked as if she’d been born to suck cock, her mouth a second, more esurient, cunt.Too, she went fully shaven. There were no hints of pubes under her pits or between her thighs, not even a smidgen of stubble. Even her forearms and calves went shorn.And her cunt? Get right outta town. Bald as an egg! Paula had two bubbly labia majora and two luscious pink labia minora guarding the entrance to her canal. Crowned with a fat little pliable clit, her exposed slit would make a dead man cum. She sparkled with gleam. One could eat at her Y for hours and not go unsated.She certainly didn’t have Denise’s soft pelt of curly ebon down between her legs. Kurt had no way of knowing that Paula’s golden carpet had only been recently scraped away. (High school boys are always fascinated by a woman’s pubic mound, hair and all, reasoning that any fifth grade girl can be bald down there. High school girls don’t tend to know this; they shave their pussies according to the most current beauty trends.)Kurt was a huge fan of Denise’s fuzzy pelt though he didn’t mention it much. In fact, it was the silken slide of Denise’s luxuriant twat that usually engendered his ejaculate.Paula’s shaven cunt was nice. Kurt thought he could give her a poke with some measure of restraint. He knelt between her thighs to inhale that first obligatory sniff of paradise.There’s always something about that first sniff. People in long-term relationships know the sniff intimately. It grows on them over time. Like fine wine, it becomes a source of comfort, an opiate, a safe port in a storm. All other things being equal, that first sniff of poonan can keep a couple seething in lust for decades.Too, every cunt in the world has its own unique aroma. At its best, it’s sultry. Sweltering. Alluring. When that aroma tweaks the right olfactory nerves the sex can be amazing. Scent is easily the most powerful of the senses. It’s why jungle cats pee on trees.Paula’s cunt whispered of riotous wildflowers, rhododendrons, fine tawny port, dick, and Lagerfeld cologne. One might easily imagine flocks of hummingbirds hovering manically about her cleft, competing for the privilege to siphon sips of her most intimate Cuntl nectar.Paula smiled up at Kurt lazily. She knew the dizzying effect her cunt bouquet had on men. Having Paula’s radiant cunt before him now, inches from his face, Kurt was appropriately dazzled. In his wildest dreams he’d never thought he’d get the chance at both Paula Fuller and Sharon Minor in the same lifetime, much less the same day.Kurt nudged his nose into her cleft. From this proximity, Paula’s cunt seemed almost magical. He drew a second, more personal, whiff, savoring the flavor. Paula could feel his hot breath coursing breezily over her shaven labia. She always loved that part.Men!But it was also lesson time. Paula got down to brass tacks.“I’m going to let you suck my cunt for a little bit, Okay? I like it. I think you’ll like it, too. It gets me wet for when you go to put your dick in. If you like, I can suck you, too. What’s important is this: You must not cum. I want you to note each time you are ready to cum. Try to find the point where it’s inevitable. Stop just before you get there. Whether it’s in my mouth or my cunt, if you want to get past all this cumming too soon, you have to get used to being inside me. You understand?”“I think so,” Kurt replied. He was already ready to cum.“Don’t 'think so’, Kurt. Know so. Get used to pulling out and starting over. Try to go a little longer and deeper each time. Three pumps. Five pumps. Ten. When you get to the point where you can go a full minute, I’ll show you another technique. What is it that calms you?”“I, I like playing baseball.”“OK, good. When you get going inside me good, think about being on a baseball path. Concentrate on what it takes to steal a base. Watch the pitcher’s move, watch his leg kick. Time the catcher’s throw. If you can concentrate on that while fucking, and do it for ten or fifteen minutes, you’ll have Denise eating out of your hands.”“But, Denise doesn’t care how long I go. She just wants to really feel it when I cum.”“I know, I know. You’ve told me a thousand times. If and when you build up stamina, hold it back and hold it back some more, you’ll build up enough pressure to blast her out of the Universe. Come to think of it, I like it when that happens to me, too!” Paula chortled.“Okay,” he replied.“One last thing, Kurt,” Paula continued, “If you feel Me cumming, you can just go ahead and cum. I’ll usually tell you when I’m about to cum, but if I don’t, and you feel my cunt twitching real fast, that’s the moment. I’ll start humping you really fast and hard. Don’t go soft if that happens. Just go ahead and slam it in there. Deep and hard. I’m a big girl. The harder you hit it, the better I like it. I’m sure Denise likes it like that, too.”“Well, except for the twitching part, we never get that far,” Kurt replied. “I can feel her cunt snapping real tight around my dick, twitching Really tight, as soon as I get it in. And that’s what makes me cum. And the next thing I know we’re waking up all sweaty and wet. We never get around to the 'deep and hard’ stuff.”“Well you can get around to the deep and hard stuff with me,” Paula countered. “Just plow it in there when I start twitching. Go fast, go hard. Even if you cum too soon, we can always try again. We have the whole hour.”Kurt’s erection was becoming painful. He was happy to conclude Paula’s lesson session.“We can start practicing now, if you want,” he commented. “I’m ready.”“Eat my cunt, Kurt,” came Paula’s response. “Don’t get too far ahead of the game.”She rotated her hips to amplify the ethereal effect of her split fragrance. Smiling drunkenly, Kurt went in. Paula hadn’t indicated a preference for a violent oral assault so he began slowly. He sniffed and licked Paula’s pink cunt lovingly as if it were a favored pet cat just home from a three-day bender. She was his ice cream cone, his lollipop. Parting her slit with his tongue tip, bottom to top, Kurt finished with a double clit swirl and a wet, all-too-familiar kiss. Paula roiled. He essayed the move again, this time paying more attention to Paula’s cunt sidewalls and her flower petal-like inner cunt lips. Paula’s scent billowed forth. He kissed her cunt again. Paula shivered her hips opulently, hinting at the existence of another orifice just south, a special orifice, an orifice too in need of special oral attention.Paula’s cunt puckered open. Kurt inserted his tongue, just the tip at first, but soon enough the entirety of it. His upper lip engulfed her clit. Paula moaned. Her hip rotations became increasingly animated, strident. Kurt could sense that his dick was in for a comprehensive shagging if and when he finally got it in. Paula was humping the shit out of his tongue. It was as if she hadn’t had her cunt sucked in days.“Oh! Kurt! Go slower! Softer, damn it! I’m gonna cum!”He hadn’t realized that women sometimes suffer from pre-mature ejaculation, too. He’d only been down there for a couple of moments. Paula was on the verge. She hadn’t lied about letting him know of her progress toward closure.“Go ahead,” he mumbled.“No!” she fairly shrieked. “Not yet!”She pushed his head away from her churning cunt. Kurt could see that her pelvic thrusts were involuntary. Her pelvis jerked upward for want of pole. Paula really was flirting with disaster.As her hip rotations slowed, Kurt could see Paula’s back arching abnormally. She bent her vertebrae almost perpendicular just before unleashing a monstrously quick upward pelvic thrust. It was like watching a slingshot whipping a stone at a squirrel. This was Paula’s orgasmic rage in motion. She’d said she wanted to be slammed at the moment of detonation. And here she was slamming, the air. There was no dick or tongue in her. She wanted to cum, but then again, she didn’t. Paula was showing him the mechanics of restraint.Kurt waited for her breathing to calm.“Did you cum?” he asked.“Almost,” she huffed breathlessly. “You see what I did there? That’s what you have to do.”“If I start whipping my dick around like you just did, I’ll cum. I almost came just from watching you.”It was true. A dollop of pre-cum dripped from his urethra. Paula noticed it.“Yeh, I see. If I suck you now, you’ll be done and gone.”She pulled his head back down between her thighs.“Okay, let’s try this again,” she whispered. “Suck it like you did before. That was good.”They repeated their cunnilingual session, yielding the exact same result. Two minutes in, Paula’s cunt churn became manic, even extreme. The lights and the zoom of the impending maelstrom crazed throughout her body, unleashing scads of cunt scent and anguished moans before Paula pushed him away. She began humping the air fast and quick, like a male dog in heat. Kurt longed to insert himself, and almost did, but held back with a monumental effort. He watched Paula calm. He even scoote

Buckle up for a seismic shift in your understanding of what it truly means to be a man. In this unfiltered dialogue, author and speaker Duncan Brown doesn't mince words as he pulls back the curtain on the deeply ingrained myths that have left countless men stranded in a wasteland of unfulfilling lives and hollow connections. With disarming authenticity and a raw vulnerability that will leave you questioning everything, Brown deconstructs the toxic cultural conditioning that has brainwashed generations into believing that alcohol is an indispensable rite of passage – a prerequisite for forging unbreakable bonds of brotherhood and embodying the pinnacle of masculinity. Through captivating personal anecdotes and startling statistics, he exposes the profound toll this warped ideology takes – a silent epidemic of disconnection, loneliness, and a pervasive sense of emptiness gnawing at the masculine soul. But this isn't just a scathing critique; it's a clarion call to reclaim your sovereignty and forge a path to true fulfillment. Forging an Unshakable Core Identity Here's a glimpse of what you'll uncover in this paradigm-shattering discussion: The two pivotal questions every man must answer to build an unshakable core identity and lasting sense of purpose Counterintuitive yet potent tactics to dismantle the psychological barriers preventing true vulnerability between men How to cultivate bonds of brotherhood that transcend mere "activity buddies" – creating a sacred space for growth, support, and mutual accountability Practical strategies to prioritize these life-giving connections amidst the relentless chaos of work, family responsibilities, and modern distractions But what truly sets this conversation apart is Brown's unapologetic candor. Through deeply personal stories – from his own arduous journey to transformative encounters with others – he shatters the façade of shame and self-blame surrounding alcohol, leaving you with a profound realization: your struggles are not a personal failing, but a manifestation of deeply ingrained cultural conditioning. Whether you've grappled with drinking for years or seek a fresh perspective, this conversation is a wake-up call to embrace true vitality – one rooted in self-compassion, authenticity, and the belief that you possess the power to reclaim your sovereignty. The path to sustainable freedom begins here – tune in and let the revolution commence.

What do you think men find alluring in a woman? Whatever answer you gave…it's probably wrong.  It's not about your appearance. It's not about being a certain way or doing certain things to trick or coerce a man into wanting you. It's about connecting to yourself in a way that attracts a man who will love, cherish, and honor you. Not one who just wants to f*ck around and keep you around to boost his ego. There's a reason I go on and on and on about connecting to yourself on a deep level…because if you can't connect to yourself, he can't connect to you. And nothing is more alluring to a man than a woman who is not only deeply connected to herself…but actually loves herself more than she loves him. Does that sound insane? Great. Then you're the target audience for this episode. Let me tell you what men TRULY find attractive.   WORK WITH MICHELLE:  Join The Connected Woman EXPERIENCE: https://michellepanning.com/the-connected-woman-experience   CONNECT WITH MICHELLE: Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/michellepanning Website: http://www.michellepanning.com

In this episode of Pursuing Faith, Dominic teaches on the story of the Samaritan woman from John 4. We're surrounded by a world that fuels our discontent. Alluring advertisements, temptations, distractions, materialism and consumerism all offer the promise of satisfaction, but only leave us more restless than before. In the face of superficiality, Jesus says: “If you drink of these waters you will thirst again, but if you drink of the water I give, you will never thirst.” As the late Timothy Keller wrote, “if we look to some created thing to give us the meaning, hope, and happiness that only God can give, it will eventually fail to deliver and break our hearts.”Pursuing Faith is a listener-supported non-profit ministry.
