In this episode of My Music, host Graham Coath sits down with rising actor Enzo Dearing to discuss the relationship between music, film, and performance.Although Enzo is best known for his work on screen rather than as a musician, music plays a central role in his experience of storytelling. From his admiration for film composer Hans Zimmer to the influence of the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack on his early love of cinema, Enzo explains how powerful scores shape emotion, tension, and character on screen. The discussion moves through several themes, including:How film soundtracks help actors connect with the emotional rhythm of a sceneThe role of music in Bollywood productions and why those films feel so distinctiveEnzo's disciplined approach to acting, including detailed script preparation and performance notesHis experience playing a darker character in the vertical series Alpha Stepbrothers Bite MeWhy breaking into acting often depends as much on business skills and persistence as talentEnzo also reflects on the moment he realised acting was the path he wanted to pursue, inspired by a childhood fascination with pirates and the cinematic world of Pirates of the Caribbean. The conversation even touches on dream roles, from portraying Jack Sparrow's son to potentially playing a young Elvis.Along the way, Graham and Enzo explore the realities of building a career in film, the importance of audience reaction for performers, and how music quietly underpins some of cinema's most powerful moments.If you enjoy conversations about film, performance, and the creative forces behind storytelling, this episode offers a thoughtful look at how music and acting intersect.Follow Enzo's journey on Instagram and keep an eye on his growing film career, with his latest project already surpassing 2.6 million views.

Podcast Episode Description This week on The Joe Rogan Experience Review we break down a diverse lineup of conversations. Joe sits down with constitutional attorney Aaron Siri to discuss vaccine liability law, regulatory transparency, and the legal battles shaping public health policy. Comedian and Jackass legend Steve-O returns to the podcast for a wild but surprisingly reflective conversation about addiction recovery, fame, and surviving a life that by all accounts should have killed him. Actor and global superstar Priyanka Chopra Jonas joins Rogan to talk about the differences between Bollywood and Hollywood, building an international career, and navigating fame across cultures. And on the JRE MMA Show, undefeated boxing champion Shakur Stevenson dives into fight strategy, training discipline, and the mental side of elite combat sports. The Joe Rogan Experience Review is a weekly podcast where we break down every episode of the world's biggest podcast, separating signal from noise and exploring what the conversations actually mean.  

We start with the critically acclaimed Brazilian thriller The Secret Agent. Directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho, it stars the brilliant Wagner Moura as a man on the run navigating the heights of Brazil's military dictatorship in the 1970s. It's a masterclass in tension and atmosphere.Fun Flix Fact: To achieve its stunning, retro look, the film was shot in anamorphic Panavision, the same format used for 1970s classics. The director even included a "two-faced cat" as an omen—a nod to Brazil's own dual reality of the past and the future.The Ghostface mask is back! We're reviewing the latest instalment of the legendary slasher franchise. Neve Campbell returns as Sidney Prescott, and this time, the stakes are personal as her daughter becomes the target.Fun Flix Fact: This is the first film in the entire franchise to be directed by Kevin Williamson, the man who actually wrote the original Scream (1996)! After 30 years of producing and writing, he finally stepped behind the camera to bring the Woodsboro story full circle.Finally for our main reviews, we're heading to the 19th-century Caribbean for The Bluff. Priyanka Chopra Jonas plays a woman with a secret past who must protect her family when vicious buccaneers (led by a terrifying Karl Urban) invade her island.Fun Flix Fact: Priyanka Chopra Jonas performed a massive amount of her own stunts for this film. Drawing on her extensive background in Bollywood action cinema, she reportedly surprised the stunt team with her "hard-hitting physicality" during the brutal home-invasion sequences.To tie into the political intrigue of The Secret Agent, we're celebrating 20 years of the film that earned Forest Whitaker his well-deserved Oscar. We revisit the terrifying regime of Idi Amin through the eyes of his personal Scottish doctor (James McAvoy).Fun Flix Fact: Forest Whitaker was so dedicated to the role that he stayed in character as Idi Amin even when the cameras weren't rolling. He learned to play the accordion, mastered the Ugandan accent, and even met with Amin's real-life brother and former cabinet members to perfect the performance.For this week's Hidden Gem, we're recommending the epic historical musical The Testament of Ann Lee. Amanda Seyfried stars as the founding leader of the Shakers in 18th-century Manchester and America.Fun Flix Fact: This is a rare breed—a "historical musical" shot on 70mm film! It features more than a dozen traditional Shaker hymns reimagined as rapturous musical numbers. If you loved Amanda in Les Misérables, you absolutely cannot miss her powerhouse vocals here.And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Press play for the friendliest film discussions this side of Hollywood!

⁠Patreon Exclusive:⁠ We recorded a bonus video episode where we debate AI-generated “movies,” tech hype vs reality, and launch a new idea for a recurring Rewatchables series. Join us on Patreon to watch and weigh in. In this milestone 300th episode, Asim, Amrita, and Sujoy take stock of Khandaan's journey — from lockdown comfort-listening to surviving pandemics, political chaos, and some truly questionable movie choices (yes, Kyun Ki was #300). We talk honestly about where Bollywood is right now: the lack of joy, the fatigue around current releases, and whether we still want to watch everything. Along the way, we respond to listener mail about Sanjay Leela Bhansali, debate art vs aesthetics, unpack Kohrra Season 2, react to O Romeo, and review The Bluff starring Priyanka Chopra — plus a wider conversation about her Hollywood trajectory and the “action star” box. It's reflective, a little ranty, occasionally bleak, but ultimately grateful — because 300 episodes later, we're still here, still arguing, and still obsessed with desi cinema.

She climbed Everest at 19 with no money, no permit, and no plan B. Krushnaa Patil is the youngest Indian woman to summit Mount Everest and one of only two Indians to attempt the Seven Summits — the seven highest peaks on seven continents. In this Women's Day Special episode of The xMonks Drive Podcast with Gaurav Arora, Krushnaa Patil shares her full story for the first time.From growing up trekking the Himalayas with her family to training as a classical dancer, from faking jaundice to sneak into a mountaineering course to fighting the Indian government, Bollywood celebrities, and a hostile expedition team just to raise ₹30 lakh for Everest — this is one of the most extraordinary journeys ever told on this podcast.Krushnaa Patil summited Everest on May 21, 2009 as part of the Eco Everest Expedition, becoming the youngest Indian woman to do so. She then completed the Seven Summits by climbing the highest peaks in Antarctica, South America, Europe, and Australia. But when she arrived at Denali — also known as Mount McKinley — in Alaska for her 7th and final summit, she was stopped 400 metres from the top and told she was the weakest member of the team. What happened next is a story of racism in mountaineering that she has never fully spoken about publicly.This episode covers:- Growing up in Pune and the Himalayas- Classical dance, yoga, Bharatanatyam and Kalari Payattu- NIM — the National Institute of Mountaineering, Uttarkashi- The Vice-Principal who told her to go to Bollywood- The Satopanth expedition and how she fought to be on it- The letter from a friend that destroyed her plan to climb Everest with NIM- Raising ₹30 lakh with zero connections — from Vilasrao Deshmukh to Aamir Khan- Her father's secret loan and how Saraswat Bank waived it after her Everest summit- The death of a Sherpa during the Eco Everest Expedition 2009- Climbing buddy Henry's breakdown at Camp Two on Everest- The lightning storm on summit night that echoed the 1996 Everest tragedy- Standing in the shadow of Everest at the South Summit- What Krushnaa Patil felt at the top of the world — shoonya- The racism in mountaineering she faced at Denali Mount McKinley- Why she considers the Seven Summits done and dusted anyway- What it really takes to climb Everest as a young Indian woman with no resourcesTimestamps:00:00 Everest First Impressions00:25 Setbacks And Doubts01:43 Rihanna And Big Dreams03:28 First Peaks And Destiny06:53 Getting On Satopanth11:04 Sickness And Team Role17:33 Betrayal Letter Fallout21:23 Raising Everest Funds26:54 Father Loan Twist36:40 Everest Summit Strategy38:50 Altitude Body Basics39:29 Death At Base Camp40:57 Buddy System Setup42:53 Henry Altitude Crisis45:35 Eco Everest And Spirits46:38 Oxygen And Summit Night48:45 Lightning And Ridge Lights53:34 South Summit Sunrise56:39 Summit Mindset Shift01:01:41 Descent Risks And Bodies01:04:26 Denali Summit Denied01:11:06 Racism Aftermath ClosingIf this episode moved you, please like, share and subscribe.

The Princess of Wales joined Bollywood dancers and sampled Indian sweets during a lively visit to Leicester's Golden Mile, where she was welcomed with flowers and cheers from crowds celebrating the culture of the British Indian community. Catherine even joined a short dance routine before joking about the sweets being “zero calories.”Meanwhile in Cornwall, Prince William marked St Piran's Day in his role as Duke of Cornwall, trying his hand at making a traditional Cornish pasty and thanking emergency crews who responded to devastating winter storms. The Duchy of Cornwall estate now generates about $30.9 million annually under his stewardship.Plus: reports claim Netflix is exploring a new Crown related drama focused on the Andrew saga, and Omid Scobie's new novel Royal Spin appears to be struggling in the sales rankings, with critics and readers questioning its reception just weeks after release.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

You're not past it. You may even be approaching your peak.A psychiatrist just told me that women tend to reach their highest sexual satisfaction at 64. I'm 64. And I cannot tell you how many times I've heard the opposite message, that desire fades, that this is the time to wind down, that the body just stops cooperating.Dr. Shila Patel has been listening to patients talk about sex, relationships, and desire for 25 years. She grew up in Kenya, went to medical school in England, and spent the bulk of her career practicing psychiatry in the American South before retiring at 51. When the pandemic hit and the Me Too movement was at its peak, she started writing. Two books later, she's on a mission to reach people that one-on-one clinical work never could.She's also nearly 70, still sexually active, and completely unapologetic about both.What struck me most in our conversation wasn't just the 64 statistic - which I found astounding (I hadn't ever heard before!), it was the context. Because while women are approaching their sexual peak, men are often stepping back. Erectile dysfunction, reduced interest, withdrawal. Dr. Patel saw this pattern constantly in clinical practice, and she sees it in her own life and I've certainly seen it in my own. Women in her condominium complex, all roughly her age, laugh and joke about it. It's a real thing. And most women, she says, just go quiet and accept it.That acceptance is partly cultural. Dr. Patel grew up in Indian culture, where sex was not discussed. Full stop. Not by parents, not between siblings, not even now. At 70, she and her sister have never once discussed whether either has had an orgasm. She described watching a preview of a Bollywood film where a group of women, talking about an upcoming wedding, couldn't form the word for orgasm. They landed on “intense pleasure.” She said it with affection and exasperation in equal measure.But she's quick to say this isn't an Indian problem, or an Asian problem. It's a human problem. Americans of her generation were raised the same way. Her 91-year-old mother still tenses slightly when hugged. The silence around sex, pleasure, and desire crosses every culture she encountered in 25 years of clinical work.What can be done about it? Quite a lot, actually.Dr. Patel was frank about her own experience with vaginal atrophy and vaginismus after a hysterectomy and the way the body can, as she put it, just close up. Her gynaecologist prescribed estradiol cream, and it changed everything. Lubrication, libido, comfort. It also dramatically reduces UTIs and vaginal infections, something most women are never told. I have my own version of this story: I found out about vaginal estrogen from a friend, not a single healthcare professional. When I complained about painful sex, she asked if I was on vaginal estrogen. I was angry that no doctor had mentioned it.If you're avoiding sex because it hurts, or because desire has gone quiet, it's worth asking about estradiol cream/pessaries or ring. It has certainly changed my life.Dr. Patel's bigger message is about permission. Permission to still want sex at 70. Permission to tell your partner what you need — including that if they've stepped back, you might need to look elsewhere for that connection. Permission to adapt: different positions, more patience, a lot of laughter, and no more hanging off the chandeliers.She said it plainly: we only go through this life once.

Actor and theatre artist Girija Oak Godbole (Taare Zameen Par, Jawan, Vaccine War, Quarter) joins Abhay Dandekar for an in‑depth podcast interview about acting, Marathi theatre, motherhood, and Indian cinema. She talks about staying authentic in an industry obsessed with virality (yes, the blue sari!), why she rejects the “switch on–switch off” myth of acting, and how live theatre keeps her grounded and connected to audiences.​They explore the joy and pain of working across Marathi, Hindi, and Gujarati, the toxicity of language chauvinism, and why she believes translators always lose “a little something” in adaptation. Girija opens up about growing up as the daughter of an artist, choosing a full life over a never-ending race of exams and roles, and why she wants her biggest “success” to be the freedom to stop and smell the flowers.​As a mother, she reflects on the surreal love she feels for her son, how parenting cracked open new emotional depths in her acting. She also shares her big dream: producing world‑class Indian live musicals so that people from around the world come here to watch them, not just to Broadway or the West End.Chapters / Timestamps00:00 – Intro: Girija Oak, nostalgia, and connecting art to real life03:45 – The myth of “switch on–off” acting & the magic of live theatre10:30 – Language, Gujarati–Marathi backlash, and the beauty (and politics) of words17:15 – Sponsor Break - Travelopod17:49 – Exams, moving finish lines & redefining success beyond the hustle26:55 – Playing nurses, systems, and building empathy through roles31:20 – Aging gracefully on screen, relevance, and bridging “massy” and “meaningful” cinema38:20 – Producing dreams: why India deserves iconic live musicals43:50 – Parenting, unconditional love, and Rasik Maibap humility toward audiencesSpecial shout outs this week to everyone at Dhanashree Foods and Boonlife for their wonderfully healthy  and delicious foods and snacks, and to anyone out there trying their best to learn and speak Marathi - there is an online conversational Marathi language training class through Bruhan Maharasthra Mandal. https://dhanashreefoods.com/https://www.boonlife.in/https://bmmonline.org/languages/TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING is brought to you by TRAVELOPOD, with personalized travel support to help you explore the wonders of the world.  Start your next journey at https://vacation.travelopod.com/

Folk music has long been an integral part of traditional Holi celebrations, shaping the festival's rhythm and community spirit. Sydney-based singer Rachana Bhatnagar, with over three decades of experience in folk, classical and Bollywood music, says these melodies continue to resonate today. She advocates blending folk traditions with contemporary sounds to keep them accessible, while staying rooted in the festival's cultural essence. Through her performances of classic Holi tracks, she highlights the festival's shared sense of colour and community.

Ronnie Screwvala changed the viewing habits of the world's most populous country, India - but he started out selling toothbrushes. BBC business editor Simon Jack and journalist Zing Tsjeng chart his journey, from knocking on apartment doors in 1980s Mumbai selling cable TV, to building a media empire that would transform Indian entertainment. Ronnie Screwvala launched the first Indian daily soap opera, the country's most popular children's channel, and a Hollywood-style film studio in Bollywood. He rode India's economic liberalisation to reshape how a nation watched television and movies. Along the way he made big deals with Rupert Murdoch and Disney. And his most recent business move into ed-tech made Ronnie Screwvala a billionaire. Good Bad Billionaire is the podcast that explores the lives of the super-rich and famous, tracking their wealth, philanthropy, business ethics, and success. There are leaders who made their money in Silicon Valley, on Wall Street and in high street fashion. From iconic celebrities and CEOs to titans of technology, the podcast unravels tales of fortune, power, economics, ambition and moral responsibility. Simon and Zing put their subjects to the test with a playful, totally unscientific scorecard — then hand the verdict over to you: are they good, bad, or simply billionaires?

In this episode, Asim, Amrita, and Sujoy revisit Kyun Ki — Priyadarshan's 2005 “romantic tragedy” starring Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Jackie Shroff and Om Puri — and try to figure out what on earth happened. Is this a misunderstood melodrama? A chaotic remake experiment? Or peak mid-2000s Bollywood madness? From mental asylum tropes and questionable Rorschach tests to lobotomies, disco flashbacks, and one very tragic swimming pool, we unpack the film's wild tonal swings and that infamous ending. Expect the usual Khandaan mix of nostalgia, sharp side-eyes, soundtrack detours (hello Kunal Ganjawala), and a deep dive into Salman's mid-2000s era — plus a comparison to the original Malayalam version that Asim heroically watched for research.

Happy Friday Mosquitoes & Mossies!In honour of our real life besties NEVER listening to our advice, we started this ep off with a lil bit of healing by way of giving advice to our bollywood besties who we believe had gone down the wrong path. Criminal guys and gals seem to be the flavour of the season when it comes to falling in love, and MOS does not approve. By popular demand we are back with an episode on the futility of advising your girl besties, broken female friendships, bury-the-body friends, and the myth that is a mature friendship breakup. Naina and Sakshi debate the difference between supporting your friends and enabling them, with a humble request from Sakshi to do some enabling when it comes to Meerut pronunciations. We also discussed whether our parent's generation did friendship better, Naina tried to start a pen pal community, and Sakshi requested that you remember that this is a comedy podcast - so have some pity on a bin-byaahi beti. Finally, we unpacked a few stories from MOS listeners who experienced some insane girl besties, and took a moment of silence for the mom friend of the group (hug your nearest mom friend, give them a day off, pls). Bonus: Exam szn got Sakshi feeling nostalgic and she gave us a mini-recap of a gadhyasankalan short story that has traumatized many an ICSE student.If you are a tru MOS bestie, go enable us by hitting like, share, hype, subscribe, follow, and scream it from the rooftops so that we can hit 100k.

Divya Bharti (1974–1993) was an Indian actress who became one of Bollywood's biggest stars in the early 1990s. Her career was marked by an incredibly rapid rise to fame, but it was tragically cut short when she died at the age of 19. This is what I picked up surrounding her energies

Greg Jenner is joined in twentieth-century America by Dr Hannah Thuraisingam Robbins and comedian Desiree Burch to learn all about singer and Hollywood actress Lena Horne. Born into a middle class Black family in New York, a young Lena Horne soon followed in the footsteps of her actress mother and made her début at the famous Cotton Club aged only 16. After making her name as a singer and performer – and following the end of her tumultuous first marriage – Horne transferred to the west coast and bagged a Hollywood contract with MGM. There, she appeared in a number of classic films, including Stormy Weather and Cabin in the Sky. Over the next several years, she would also perform for the troops in the Second World War, fall in love with and marry a white composer and arranger, undertake an international tour, and become one of the most popular nightclub performers of the post-war era. But the racism of segregation-era America would also shape and limit the career of the woman known as ‘the first Black pin-up girl', eventually leading her to the civil rights movement and Black activism in the 1960s. This episode traces Lena's journey from young dancer to Hollywood star and renowned vocalist, along the way exploring her connections with figures including Billie Holliday and Martin Luther King Jr., and the injustice she spent so much of her career fighting against. If you're a fan of the history of cinema, mid-century America, and Black cultural icons, you'll love our episode on Lena Horne.

Our conversation touches on mental health and domestic abuse – Sonia has helped students change their lives in ways she would never have predicted. Sonia Sabri MBE is a multi-award-winning dance artist, choreographer and movement director and Artistic Director of Sonia Sabri Company (SSC).

In this episode, Bertha Chin— Senior lecturer and the Director of the National University of Singapore's Communications And New Media program— and Swapnil Rai—Associate Professor Film, Television and Media Associate Professor Communication and Media at the University of Michigan—join us to speak about the global streaming media landscape. From Bollywood to Hollywood, Rai and Chin dissect the complexity of media movements as both parts of cultural imperialism and the widening of fandoms. Both scholars lead us through discussions of the transnational circulations and development of series on streaming platforms, relating them to the wider topic of power relations within globalization. By the end, we are left to examine how we engage with transnational shows, who produces them, and how other countries have interpreted the same show. Is streaming the best way to be exposed to other cultures, or is it trying to mobilize the audiences and resources of other countries? Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper:Academic/Educational readings and resources:Transnational Streaming Television Reshaping Global Flows and PowerNetworked Bollywood How Star Power Globalized Hindi CinemaCrowdfunding the Future Media Industries, Ethics, and Digital SocietyEating Fandom Intersections Between Fans and Food CulturesBollywoodizing Netfix or globalizing Hotstar?

Do you want your patients to feel confident and cared for and to become raving fans about your practice? Kiera takes listeners through specific steps to help practices refine what their patients go through upon entering to exiting your office. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:00) Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera. And today I'm excited for a quick tactical practical tip for you guys that I just think is magical. And I'll start with like a story about it to kind of kick us off. ⁓ Jason and I, we just recently went to Ruth's Chris. We decided we were gonna do a day date and Jason and I, went to the spa. I convinced him to go to the spa. He's not like obsessed about it, but really loved in like the hot tub room that they actually turned on a football game for him. So.   I don't know how the spa gods were on my side that day, but they definitely were. And then we decided to go to Ruth's Chris. And if you guys are familiar with Ruth's Chris, ⁓ it's ⁓ an amazing steakhouse. And ⁓ I noticed when we went in there, there was just a different vibe. And I've been very obsessive about high-end restaurants, reading the book, Unreasonable Hospitality. I think I'm more aware of it. If you guys haven't read that book, I definitely recommend putting that on your book wish list. And what was interesting is,   When we came in, they said, hi, Mr. and Mrs. Dent, great to see you. And they took us back to our table and the waitress was so kind to us. And she said, here's this information. What information do you guys need? There were seat spot for us. The busser came through and was like, we really love working with people like you. You guys just make our life so much easier. They're like, here, let's just box this up for you. You made great choices for you. They had all of our stuff boxed for us. The presentation was beautiful.   They didn't come by and they weren't annoying to us, but they were so genuine to us. And then as we were leaving, they said, thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Dent. And they knew all about us. Okay. So that was one experience. Another experience has been Jason and I were in Bali and we went to the four seasons and I remember if you've been to Bali, you'll understand. Jason and I both got Bali belly. And if you haven't heard mine was, I got it on our flight home. I've never in all my years of flying, knock on wood, I've never once thrown up ever on a plane.   Mine is my flight home that was a nice nine hour flight from Taiwan to San Francisco. And I threw up and had diarrhea the entire freaking time of that flight. I had thrown up about 13 times in two hours and I figured out, if I can make a system for this, like it was hold the vomit bag, go to the bathroom and brush my teeth all at the same time. I realized you can create a system for anything. So that's a little bit beside the point. So I'm here to tell you about great experiences. But at the four seasons, they were top notch. They had an app. They would text us.   When I asked them like, hey, you guys have any medicine? They're like, ⁓ we don't have medicine. Here's the pharmacy. We can get it for you. We'll have it to your room. They had it to our room for us. They brought different things for us because they knew that we were sick. They had a turndown service for us. They paid attention to our likes. Our wants, made sure everything was done every single night for us. It was one of the most incredible experiences. And I think about it, like people are like, Kiera, you traveled all over the world. You've gone to Antarctica. You go to these places. And I'm like, Bali, even though I threw up for eight hours on my flight home.   Bollywood one of my most amazing experiences and I'm like, what was it? Like it was how I felt at Four Seasons. It was how I felt of everybody was so happy for us to be there. They were so grateful for us to be there. People would say hello to us. They knew our names as we walked through. And ⁓ I've just been paying attention to like Ruth's Chris was recent. The Four Seasons was another one. And then I think about other experiences that maybe weren't as great. I think about...   Hotels Jason and I we flew home. We missed a flight coming home from an international flight So we had to snag a hotel the only hotel available for us was a hotel I will not say But it was we'll just say a budget-friendly hotel and I remember we checked in and no one was there They weren't happy to see us. They were annoyed to see us the shuttle. I'm not joking you It was supposed to be there in 15 minutes We waited two hours to get our shuttle and they kept telling us one's on the way one's on the way. They were like you need to call this person By the time we got there our bed was dirty   The bathroom was broken. And I just thought, man, I remember that experience. I don't remember the Four Seasons experience, but which one do I want to go back to? Which one do I tell my friends about? Which one am I like, I threw up and I was so sick from Bali. You guys, would never recommend doing a cooking class internationally. I know exactly what caused our sickness. my gosh. And my stomach like to this day still hurts about it. But yeah, I loved that trip so much because of how I felt. And so that's what I want to go into today of   the patient experience in designing and creating a journey that the patient wants to be a part of and they want to rave about. And I know we've talked about this at several other times ⁓ because it's something where I remember I was at a conference once and they said, Kiera, what people remember is the beginning and the end. They don't really remember the middle. And so in dental practice, it's our beginning. It's our first phone calls and it's the end on how they leave. Yes, they might remember the middle of the procedure, but typically speaking, it's those, those two points in anything like think about a show you go to. You usually remember the beginning.   You remember the end. think about Taylor Swift and I'm like, definitely remember the countdown clock. Like I can remember that. remember everything coming out. Middle, like there was a lot going on and the ending, everybody can remember that. But, and yes, there are still things and that's not to say the middle can't be great, but we want to make sure that it is this experience that people are so obsessed with because we want to help them feel so good. And I think the dental office is such an intimate space. Dentistry is intimate. Everything that we do in dentistry is intimate. And so if we can help patients feel   a certain way and that doesn't mean we have to be perfect, but it does mean that we create a patient experience and a patient journey for them. So for me, even in Dental A Team, it should be that the patient experience, our customer experience is very intentional and not accidental. So we kind of think through it, like what do want our patients to feel? What do we want our patients to say about us? And it's also crazy because you can go look at your reviews right now and see what the patient experience is today.   what you've created maybe not intentionally or intentionally. Just go read it. What is it? For us at Dental A Team, I want people to feel like it's fun. I want it to feel like it's easy. I want people to feel like, my gosh, like they understood me, that they're thinking ahead of where I'm at, that they can guide us and that we are non-judgmental and that you and your team are gonna rise to the next level. Go read our reviews. That's what it is. But that's by intentionality and design. That's our core values. That's what we talk about constantly. It's how we onboard our consultants.   It's how we refine. how we take feedback from clients of if they're not getting it, how can we make this process easier? How can we make it easier for our consultants? How can we give better education? Like what can we do because that's the experience we want them to have. And so, ⁓ this is going to be an episode. If you really want patients to feel like super confident and cared for and to become raving fans for you to where they love the dentist, you have an opportunity to change how people feel about going to the dentist. And I think it's an amazing opportunity if you choose to do it. So   Number one is like, let's think about first impression. Remember, like it's the it's the end caps. And I think if we can even just design those two really, really intentionally, like four seasons and Roos Chris, did you notice in both of those? And this is not on purpose. I just sharing the story. I talked about my entrance and my exit at Bali. We were freaking sick on that last day. And I remember that the most more than anything. Yes, they did the turn down service and that was great. But I didn't talk about our New Year's Eve dinner that we had. I didn't talk about the waiters like none of that.   And as I think back, I'm like, yeah, that was really nice. I remember our first initial and our ending. Same thing with Ruth, Chris, how they entered us and how they exited. I talked about both of those. Go back and rewind. And that was not on purpose, but this even just proves my point that the experiences you remember are those end caps, the beginning and the end. So what is our presence? So number one is how do we answer the phone on the first new patient impression? That's going to be it. I talked about this just recently. If you haven't heard that, go back and listen, but like, how do we greet people? And are we like smiling when we answer? Are we excited or are we like,   Oh my gosh, another freaking phone call, like, hello. Right? I don't know if any of you had a mom who had a mom voice where she's like, Kiera Cherie. And I was like, hello. My mom was like, I didn't do that. I'm like, oh mom, you did. And you had the snap and you'd give me those mom eyes, right? Moms had those two voices. My sister's husband, he was like, my mom used to like snarl at me with her teeth. My mom didn't do the teeth, but we all know like, and I feel like that's how it should be like, we could be busy in the patients, but as soon as that phone rings, I want our front office to feel like.   my gosh, I am so excited to be answering this phone call. We are so excited you're here. Like almost like buddy the elf, like you're so excited. Maybe not that enthusiastic, but like that same sentiment. We are so excited. So we want it to be this like welcoming. We are happy you're here. We're not annoyed that you're here. And that's the very first impression. And then when they come into the practice, this is our next first impression. And if we botch our phone, we oftentimes can make it up on our second, but I will tell you that first phone impression is going to be paramount. So get our best person answering those.   best person and all of our front office team needs to realize when you answer the phone, you go on stage and you like sit up and you smile, even put mirrors up there so they can see themselves. You guys, not a joke. My mom said I was so vain. She gave me a like desk with a mirror and I used to sit there and talk on the phone in front of the mirror. And I was like, why do you do this? And I'm like, mom, like watch how I talk and I look at things and I look at, I practice my smile and it could have been a little vanity. Uh, but I know it's helped me present and be able to speak. And I guarantee you a lot of that mirror training.   is why I'm able to go present on stage today and be able to engage and invoke emotion because I practiced for a long time in the mirror. So having that mirror, having people see how they are, because if I'm sitting down, I'm like, hey guys, welcome to the podcast versus, hey guys, welcome to the podcast. You feel two very different things. And I feel too, I'm like super jazz on the second one. The first one I'm like, cool, I got a freaking podcast today. No, like I'm excited. I'm excited to hang out with you. I'm honored that you share your time with me. So we want it to be, and whatever your experiences, and some doctors you might not be like Kiera level 20.   Well, guess what? My team is Kiera level 20. We want to answer the phone in that level. If you are more like subdued and you're more like spa boutique, your phone needs to answer. Like I would be utterly shocked if I called the spa and they're like, hi, welcome to the spa. I'd be like, whoa, tone it down. Like this is the spa. And that's even Kiera who's excited. The dental office, it's like welcoming and engaging and like, hi, I'm like so excited you called. We're truly going to take great care of you. And I'm really excited to bring you into the practice. Notice I even have a patient voice that's different than my podcast voice, which is different than a spa.   My spa was like, hi, welcome to Serenity Spa. I'm so glad you're here. And I'm Kyra Dent and I'm changing right here, but it's because I feel that. And that's what I want people to experience in our phone and how people walk in is going to be our first step. So we need you to truly train and what is it? And if you haven't built this for your front office team, help them see this is what our, this is what our patient experience is. We want a confident, energetic, calm, whatever it is, first interaction. And we want our   online experience. our website, our scheduling, our messaging, our phone messaging to follow that same experience. So if that's our first impression, they're still filling it. Then they want to make the phone call. And we want to just like reduce any friction. How can I make this easier? I'm going to send you the paperwork. I'm going to schedule you now. I'm going to make sure I get this back in 48 hours. So I've got your appointment confirmed. This is how we're going to work. And I'm also setting clear expectations of we are so excited to have you here. And these are the rules of the game that we play by.   You notice like I even feel myself go into like a confident and welcoming human. That's our first experience. And if you will refine this, you will start to notice you train your patients from day one of we are so happy to have you. This is how we operate. We have you run on time. We have you send in our information. You always confirm your appointments 48 hours ahead of time. And we are so excited to welcome you to our family, whatever it is. listening to our new patient phone calls, experiencing that, putting the mirrors up there.   And then it's a, when the patient comes into the practice, let's make sure that that's an amazing experience too. Is our waiting room area clean? Do we have our front office person? You guys like, it drives me wild when I walk into a practice and it is cluttery with paper. You guys clear that clutter and make it clean. Dental practices need to be sterile. Yes, you can have cutesy stuff, but it still needs to feel clean and sterile. Front office team members, I'm gonna be a little bit hard right now. Do not freaking eat food in the front where patients can see you.   Go to the back. watch it so often. You're just sitting there like you break your crack or anything. No one can see you. They can. They see crumbs. It just feels. People can feel perfection. They can feel cleanliness. They can feel dirtiness. And this isn't me like ripping into you. I bend that person. I used to my snack drawer down there. That's not professional and that shouldn't be in the front office. Get it into the back office. Let's make sure it's clean. You can have all your cups. You can have all the things, but it needs to be clean. It needs to be sterile. It needs to be welcoming and inviting. Think about when you walk into a hotel. It's very inviting. Some   junkie janky and you're like, I don't want to stay here. Some are like, my gosh, this is amazing. Same thing with restaurants. How do we want our patients to feel? Let's make sure that the ambiance feels the same way. Even if your front office is on the phone, you can always welcome and say hi. Like while you're on the phone, I'll be right with you. That way they can feel super welcomed or like, hey, here's an iPad. I'll chat with you. And then as soon as like, Kiera, I'm so happy you're here. Welcome to the practice. Let me grab you a bottle of water. Do you prefer stilled or, or like do you prefer room temperature or chilled?   little small things that does not take a lot of effort, but that sets a very different impression rather than welcome to the practice. Okay. So let's make sure that first impression is very, very important. This is that first end block of the practice and patient experience. It's going to make it radically different for you and your practice. Then on the other side, is it's going to be during the visit? We need to make sure that we're still well oiled because if our front and end of those bookends are good, but the middle is ick.   They're going to actually remember that more than they remember these polished pieces. So the middle doesn't have to be like perfect perfection every time. what? Dentistry runs long. But as often as we can, let's be on time to our patients. Let's make sure that we have really clean handoffs. Let's make sure that when we are presenting our exams doctors that we use that NDTR. What's the next visit? What's the date? What's the time to return and make sure our re-care cleanings are scheduled. Make sure that the patient has that every time. Look me in the eyes. Involve me in that experience of patient, doctor, clinician. We're here.   All right, Kiera, we wanna see you back in two weeks for that crown on the upper right. We're gonna take great care of you. I need about an hour and a half for that. And we'll make sure that sister Susie over here gets you scheduled for your cleaning. What questions do you have for me? I'm really excited to work with you. Great, they know. And I will tell you if doctors will take the little bit of time to be super concise and clear on next steps, next visit, that's what people are remembering. So again, remember, yes, you've got the bookends of the appointment.   but also within the appointment in the chair, they're remembering how you seat them and how you end. Doctors, the essay heard the exam, but they're remembering your anchoring point of your end point. So nail that end point. Clinical team members, remember the end point. I used to try to like make jokes at the beginning and then have a good time at the end because I knew that that's what they were going to remember. Even if the procedure was hard, I still made sure that they had a great experience at the end. And if it was a hard procedure, I'm like, gosh, you did such a good job. I'm really, really proud of you. You did it.   you're gonna have the best results after this, whatever it is, but just make sure that they're clear, especially on exams. There is nothing worse than confusion. Confusion is the enemy of execution. So be crystal clear on where we're headed. And then after that, what we're gonna do is we're gonna let them know like, here's the next visit, here's what's gonna happen, we're gonna move them through it. This way your patients are so crystal clear on what's going on. And then at the end,   We have an amazing experience. So front office team, you're back on the, you're the shining stars. You welcome them in, you talk to them on the phone, and then you're the last impression. So making sure your people who are sitting in those seats recognize their role and their value in this whole experience. So on this, it's a perfect, let's get you scheduled. I make this really easy for them. Beautiful. What questions do you have for me? We say the same thing from what they said in the clinical team to the front office team. Front office has really good notes. So the clinical team just picks it right up.   And we have this in here of a very, very, very good experience at the end. Then if they had a great experience, I asked them for a review and say, Hey, I'd love you to share your experience with us. I can't wait to see you next time. Gosh, you're seriously one of my favorite patients. And I'm so grateful you're a part of our practice. That's not that hard, but what's that patient? You remember, gosh, they loved me when I came in, they loved me when I went out. And what it is, is it's not all these little pieces. It's the experience of how they felt just like me. I didn't tell you all the nuances of Ruth's Chris   I didn't tell you that my steak was amazing. I didn't tell you I had sweet potatoes. None of that. What I did tell you is how I felt at both. And guess what? I could have told you any experience, but I told you what's crazy is even at the spa, the football game was at the end. I didn't even tell you about my massage. I told you about the little thing that stood out to me. And remember, bad things actually could be what your patient's experiencing, even though you think you've got good pieces. If I've got an amazing welcoming, but I've got a jerk of a team member who's rude,   they're gonna remember that, cause that's gonna stand out way shinier than this one. And sometimes my doctor can be amazing, but your front office cannot be the same experience and it feels disjointed. And so you gotta make sure that you're, you have a team that's very similar and that we talk about what is our experience? How do I patients to feel? What are our core values? This is culture, but it's patient experience too. And if we get a whole team rallied around this, you're going to be able to have massive raving fans, but it's done with ease. So doing simple little things. So what I would say is when we have this of,   Let's go through number one, what is our patient experience? How do we want patients to feel? Look at our reviews and see what are they already saying and is that what we want? And if not, let's change it. Then let's make sure our phone calls, our website and our first impression when they come into the practice is dialed in and exactly what we want. Let's make sure are in the middle, pretty dang good. Doctors, you're ending with great exams. Clinical team members were ending with a great experience at the end of the exam. And then we take them up to front office and front office, we shine, we dazzle and we are so grateful to have these patients.   Now, if you're listening as a front office team member, you're like, I absolutely don't want to do that. It might be a wrong seat for you. I'm just going to say that front office team members are on stage. Just like I don't want to put a Disneyland, like someone who absolutely hates greeting guests and like putting them through the ticket counter. If they're like, I hate this job. They're, they're not the person. Cause that patient's going to feel that that guest is going to feel like, ⁓ checking into a hotel. I've got the person who's like, gosh, here you are. This is just a job and you're driving me nuts versus the person like, we are so happy you're here.   Make sure I've got right people in right seats for this experience. And that's critical. They could be the right team member, just the wrong seat. So let's make sure if you're listening to this, that you love this. I truly do. And I know Tiff does, and I know Kristy does, and I know Dana does, Britt actually, she's not the front desk. She doesn't like that guys. So she's not always on the podcast. And if Britt was listening, she'd be like, that's correct. I prefer back scenes. She likes to be there. Shelbi, you've never heard Shelbi on the podcast, cause she's like hard past no Kiera, that's not who I am.   but I've got all my consultants who would be like, yeah, Trish put her on. She'd love it. She'd say to the friend, she'd make everybody her best friend, Monica, Pam. They'd love it. So make sure you've got right people, right seat, and then make sure you really commit to having this incredible patient experience and you can check it. Let's do a monthly review, like do an audit of what are the top things the reviews are saying, have Chat GPT help you. There's easy ways to make sure that what we want of our patient experience is what patients are saying. And if not commit to change, it's how patients feel that they're going to remember more than it's what you say.   And if we can help you guys reach Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. These are the small annoying like cobwebs that make the big difference for patients that we are obsessed about helping you with. So reach out, running a successful practice does not have to be hard and it can be very easy for you. So reach Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. And as always, thanks for listening and I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.
