The AI trend of technological intervention in humanity now threatens our ability to make choices. Automation narrows and eliminates the space for humans to make their own decisions, locking society into a deterministic future. Through scientific and mathematical precision, the force of mechanization tries to remove possibilities for error, and by doing so, it deprives something essential about human beings. Being human in the future will not be about individual survival or escape - it will be how we live together, fighting against our cybernetic overlords.

Associates on Fire: A Financial Podcast for the Associate Dentist
In this episode of The Dental Boardroom Podcast, host Wes Read, CPA CFP®, is joined by Myles Davis, founder of Dentrec—a platform designed to bring clarity and consistency between dental practice management systems, bank accounts, and accounting software like QuickBooks.Wes and Myles explore the common yet often overlooked issue of reconciling collections data with actual deposits. They dive deep into how disorganization or gaps in reconciliation can lead to embezzlement, financial misstatements, patient trust issues, and inefficiencies in team performance tracking.Myles shares how Dentrec is helping DSOs and solo practices alike automate reconciliation, allocate deposits correctly (especially across multiple offices or tax IDs), and keep all systems—from PMS to bank accounts to financials—in sync. Learn why this simple yet powerful solution is transforming dental practice accountability, financial health, and team transparency.Key PointsDentrec helps reconcile collections data from PMS (like Open Dental, Dentrix, Eaglesoft) with actual bank deposits and QuickBooks.Lack of reconciliation can lead to embezzlement, financial misstatements, tax underreporting, and loss of patient trust.Dentists often don't catch missing funds or misallocated deposits due to lack of time, process, or tools.Dentrec is especially useful for DSOs with centralized banking or shared TINs across practices.Automation and accountability reduce human error and increase practice efficiency.Embezzlement remains alarmingly common—40% of dentists experience it at least once.Dentrec also tracks whether payments were correctly posted to patient ledgers.The “fork test” analogy shows how disorganized workflows cost teams time and money.Aligning PMS, financial reporting, and bank data helps owners stay informed and in control.#DentalBoardroomPodcast #Dentrec #DentalFinance #DentalEmbezzlement #PracticeManagement #DSO #DentalTech #FinancialReconciliation #WesReed #MylesDavis #QuickBooksDental #OpenDental #DentalAccounting #CashFlowManagement #DentalPracticeGrowth

These updates signify a paradigm shift where robots become not only smarter and safer, but far easier to configure, maintain, and upgrade.The conversation expands into one of the most talked-about frontiers in robotics: humanoid robots. Are they just hype or do they have a real role to play in industrial environments? We assess the business case for humanoids, especially in facilities where traditional automation has been financially unjustifiable. From handling tasks like herb sorting in food production to stepping into high-risk environments, humanoids may soon bridge the automation gap in low-throughput, labor-intensive workflows.We also explore how AI is influencing robot deployment, from edge vision systems to cycle time optimization. Pawel outlines how drag-and-drop AI-powered tools are slashing development time for vision systems from hours to minutes, while also lowering the barrier to entry for those without years of machine vision experience. Vision systems that used to require complex calibration and scripting are now being trained on real-time images or CAD models, making robotic integration faster and more accessible than ever.Finally, we close with actionable startup ideas and a bold look into the future of collaborative robots, AI, and hybrid ecosystems of humanoids and industrial arms working side-by-side. If you're in automation, manufacturing, or considering a robotics venture, this episode is packed with strategic insight, technical knowledge, and forward-thinking ideas you won't want to miss.
In this special episode, we flip the mic - Adam Koós joins The Purpose Focused Advisor podcast with Rob Brown to unpack the strategies, mindset shifts, and systems that led to massive growth at Libertas Wealth. Adam shares how he doubled his firm's AUM and revenue in just two years, not by chasing gimmicks, but by committing to systems, vision-driven leadership, and client-first experiences. He dives deep into why he calls Libertas a “marketing firm that happens to do financial planning,” and how that shift unlocked new levels of trust, growth, and fulfillment. You'll hear insights on automation, onboarding, daily action over distant goals, and the power of delegation. Adam also opens up about the importance of saving clients from bad advice, choosing integrity over shortcuts, and building a firm that's both scalable and deeply human. If you're a financial professional looking to grow with intention, this is your blueprint. Episode Timestamps: 00:00 – The marketing mindset shift that changed everything 01:00 – Why Adam doubled his business and what drove it 03:00 – The COVID pivot: client retention through systems 05:00 – Building a scalable practice: no silver bullets, just structure 07:00 – Finding the right “fuel” to scale as a solo advisor 09:00 – Adam's upbringing and the drive behind his success 11:00 – "We're a marketing firm that does planning" — what that really means 14:00 – Ethics, trust, and doing what's right in financial services 16:00 – Why marketing is a responsibility, not a luxury 18:00 – The real engine behind growth: onboarding and segmentation 20:00 – Scaling with systems, minimums, and fee structures 22:00 – Delegation, automation, and protecting your time 24:00 – Stop chasing the horizon: focus on the daily activities 27:00 – Protecting clients from bad advice and bad actors 31:00 – The power of mentorship and shamelessly asking for help 33:00 – Finding your own fuel and building a firm around happiness and intention Key Takeaways: Growth requires structure. Success doesn't come from one big idea — it's the result of repeatable systems, intentional strategy, and consistent execution. Marketing is service. If you're doing great work and not reaching the people who need you, you're falling short. Marketing is how you earn the right to help more people. Your onboarding process matters. A strong onboarding experience is foundational to building trust and increasing conversion — don't overlook it. Delegate to scale. You can't grow alone. Automation and systems protect your time so you can focus on what matters most. Vision > Vanity Metrics. Focus less on arbitrary goals and more on the daily activities that drive long-term success.

"The Good Listening To" Podcast with me Chris Grimes! (aka a "GLT with me CG!")
Send us a textRemember when Technology felt like it was meant to make our lives easier? For many Small Business owners today, AI and Automation have become sources of anxiety rather than solutions. Enter Mike Garde, who's on a personal mission to change that narrative.Mike isn't your typical Tech Consultant. With 30 years of Software Engineering experience, he could easily overwhelm you with jargon – but that's precisely what he refuses to do. "I want to democratize AI and automation for small businesses," he shares, explaining how larger Companies have already harnessed these tools while smaller operations remain paralized by complexity.During our conversation, Mike reveals the fascinating personal journey that shaped his approach. Growing up with a mother who battled anxiety and introduced him to positive thinking, and witnessing his father's extraordinary resilience during family tragedy, Mike developed a philosophy of continuously expanding beyond comfortable boundaries. "I've just been doing it so many times now. It's just a natural thing to progress, to push outside the boundaries I may feel confined in at any particular time," he reflects.What truly sets Mike apart is his integration of the "Three Principles" coaching philosophy with practical tech implementation. He sees our perception of technology as fundamentally shaped by our thoughts: "If we're in a good mood, the world looks a better place generally, and same as if we're looking at things with fear, as in AI or anything, the world looks like a more fearful place." This perspective allows him to guide business owners through their tech anxiety toward practical solutions.The highlight of our conversation comes when Mike demonstrates AI in real-time, conducting a conversation with ChatGPT that showcases both the capabilities and limitations of current technology. It's a perfect illustration of his hands-on approach to demystifying these tools.Whether you're a tech enthusiast or someone who breaks into a cold sweat at the mention of artificial intelligence, Mike's insights offer a refreshingly human perspective on our digital future. Connect with him at www.mgperformancecoaching.com to discover how AI can work for your business without the headaches.Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'.

We just had our biggest financial leap ever, a $310,000 increase in our net worth in just one quarter. In this episode, I take you behind the curtain to reveal exactly how we did it. But this isn't just about our win—it's a blueprint for how you can do it too. I'm sharing the exact system we use (and teach inside Budget Dog Academy) that's changing lives and stacking net worth gains for hundreds of our students. I'll show you how simple financial tools—like a balance sheet, budget, and roadmap—when automated and aligned with your values, can completely transform your financial life. Whether you're in debt, overwhelmed, or just looking for next-level results, this is your episode. Timeline Summary: [0:00] – Introduction [0:41] – Our $310K Q2 net worth increase and why this framework is different [3:07] – Real-life student success stories and their massive net worth jumps [4:59] – Core drivers behind our growth: cash flow optimization, investing, and business valuations [5:26] – The 5-document system: balance sheet, budget, amortization schedule, roadmap, and cash flow goal worksheet [10:01] – How tracking quarterly net worth can change your mindset [13:01] – Why automation beats emotion when managing your finances [20:05] – Turning your goals into monthly cash flow targets [23:36] – The 3 pillars of financial fitness: education, automation, and community [27:39] – The myth of “more income equals clarity”—what really solves financial anxiety [29:34] – My personal “why” and how financial freedom saved our family 5 Key Takeaways: Automation is key. Your system should run itself with minimal input—30 minutes a month is all it takes. Clarity trumps income. You don't need more money—you need a better plan for the money you already have. Track it or lose it. A quarterly balance sheet is like stepping on the financial scale—you can't improve what you don't measure. Your roadmap should reflect your values. Build a system that funds your goals, not someone else's idea of success. Community and education drive momentum. Surrounding yourself with the right tools and people accelerates your financial journey. Quotables: “More income is speed—not clarity. If you're leaking at $60K, you'll be leaking at $600K.” “If you can't commit to 30 minutes a month, you're not ready to win financially.” “Automation eliminates the human limitations holding you back from wealth.” “Net worth is the scoreboard, but freedom is the real win.” “I don't just build systems—I build legacies.” Links & Resources: https://bookwithbudgetdog.com/ped If this episode gave you clarity or motivation, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

From pioneering A/B split testing before it became mainstream to crafting unique content through voice recordings, Perry highlights the entrepreneurial spirit that has kept him a step ahead. We chat about his early experiences in retail and manufacturing, examining how they shaped his current strategies and questioning whether his penchant for insourcing is a competitive advantage or a humorous quirk.

I'm exploring options like Slack, Discord, and Circle, but feeling stuck on which platform makes sense for parent solopreneurs and my “chaos to clarity” framework development.
