College football is officially back, and Week 0 gave us plenty to chew on before the season really gets rolling. We start with North Carolina getting some revenge on TCU in Ireland, then turn to Virginia's emphatic win over NC State and a huge opening performance from Beau Pribula. How much should we believe after one game, and which results actually changed the way we see these teams? From there, we work through USC's somewhat misleading final score against San Jose State, Florida State's uneven opener against New Mexico State and a late-night Memphis-UNLV game that may have made the Group of Six playoff race a little more interesting. We also discuss Stanford's dramatic finish against Hawaii and the very different FBS welcome parties for North Dakota State and Sacramento State. Plus, the return of college football meant the debut of some noticeable changes to the TV experience. We review ESPN's post-BottomLine world, the new on-screen indicator showing which announcer is speaking, a pronunciation controversy involving Beau Pribula and one moment of sweet Eastern Pennsylvania vindication.

Connor O'Gara and Jim Dunaway are back for Episode 10 of The Connor O'Gara Show, diving into the biggest debates surrounding how we watch — and remember — college football. ESPN is getting rid of its traditional Bottom Line ticker during college football broadcasts. Is that a welcome change, or will fans miss having scores constantly scrolling across the screen? Connor and Jim discuss the rise of YouTube TV's Quad Box, second screens and the reality that most college football fans are watching Saturdays much differently than they did a decade ago. They also debate whether Week Zero is being wasted. Should college football use the opening weekend to showcase marquee matchups and create a massive television event instead of treating it like a soft launch to the season? Then the conversation turns to ESPN's upcoming six-part Nick Saban documentary. Jim, who spent years hosting Saban's weekly show, shares insight into Saban's approach to player psychology and why the series could reveal a fascinating side of the legendary Alabama coach. Plus, which college football stories deserve their own documentary? The guys make the case for an uncensored look at Cam Newton, Auburn and the chaos surrounding the 2010 national championship season, along with the unbelievable rise and fall surrounding Ed Orgeron and LSU's historic 2019 championship team. Topics include: • ESPN eliminating the Bottom Line ticker • YouTube TV Quad Box and multi-screen football Saturdays • How college football viewing habits have changed • Why Week Zero needs bigger games • Nick Saban's upcoming ESPN documentary • Jim Dunaway's experiences covering Nick Saban • Cam Newton and Auburn's controversial 2010 season • Ed Orgeron and LSU's legendary 2019 championship run If you love college football, SEC football, Alabama, Auburn, LSU and the stories behind the sport, hit the like button, subscribe and join us for more episodes of The Connor O'Gara Show.

That would be a great question for Jeremy”. So here's hoping he's there when it's read this time.I would like to know what kind of accuracy I can expect from a savage 99 and a Winchester 88. Those are both lever actions without a magazine tube so they can shoot pointy bullets. The biggest part of accuracy is obviously the shooter, but compared to other rifles types of the same age: would you say they are as accurate as other bolt actions or will they still be around the same as other lever actions? If it makes a difference, the calibers I'm leaning towards are .243 and .308. Question from Jaqin Ta'Sox from Virginia Question from Jaqin Ta'Sox: Hello my favorite bundle of sticks. Since u all seem to be masters of firearms and all things related, might u answer this? I am having chicago screws. In holsters, when I make improvements or just from extended use, all the dang screws come loose. Do y'all know of a tool or method for reaching and getting the damn screws to the German specs of good n tight? Question from Karl from Nova Scotia Hey guys, I was thinking about picking up a 3D printer and was seeking out suggestions. I want a tool more than a hobby so the cheaper ones you need to tinker with are off the table. I heard the Bamboo printers were good “just works” solutions but from my understanding the company has done some shitty things recently and Internet connectivity and forced firmware updates are required to use their printers. Is there a high quality printer that I can keep and use offline that you would recommend? Keep up the great show, thanks, Karl #BlameCanada Question from typicalpnwguy from Oregon Evening gents, Im looking at building a 4.5″ suppressed 10/22 in a chassis for fun. Debating on the polymer sb tactical chassis or the Fletcher hall aluminum chassis. Is there a major pro/con of either (besides price)?Thanks for your deep thought out answer to this manner… -typicalpnwguy Question from Anonymous Coward from Oregon If WLS was a Vine/Reels/Tik Tok or meme, which one would describe you all the best? For me, the Reels where the two dudes are arguing over the witches from Wizard of Oz.

But if you listen to this podcast, you know statistics are rarely that cut and dry (or generalized). So where did that stat about 12 books even come from? What's the truth of book sales?This week on the pod, Jane Friedman of The Bottom Line is back to talk to Joe and Elly about interpreting book sale statistics.For more from Jane, check out janefriedman.com************Thank you for catching the People's Guide to Publishing vlogcast!

And like I said, Kristy, you are just like a learning magnet. I love it because you just have this broad spectrum, this range of things that you love consuming, and you bring so much knowledge to the Dental A Team consulting team. So, Kristy. Thank you for being here with us today. I am excited for today's topic. and before we dive in, how are you? How has your podcasting been? You listen to, you consume a lot. And then you you're DAT- Kristy (01:37) Yeah. Tiffanie (01:38) someone that consumes but also utilizes what you consume, which I think is a special skill. So how are you? How's your world? How's your learning? What's new for you? DAT- Kristy (01:47) Yeah, it's going good, Tiff. it's beginning of the week, so it's always fun to dive in and hear the things. I think lately it's really been around insurance and getting payments on time. They're doing some sneaky stuff with payments, so keeping clients apprised to that and making sure the revenue's coming in. But beyond that, like you're right. I I do like to to listen and stay up on things so that we can share with our not just our clients, but even like you said, future clients or people listening to the podcast. Tiffanie (02:22) Yeah, I agree. I know you're gonna say insurance. That has been a bug this year. Insurance DAT- Kristy (02:27) Mm-hmm. Tiffanie (02:27) the insurance bug is what we will call it. and DAT- Kristy (02:30) Yeah. Tiffanie (02:30) I love it because I know I can I can pick your brain for so many things and you do stay up on so many forums and you're always reading. but then on the opposite end of that spectrum, like I know I I know you will what does Kiera call you? A truffle, a truffle hunter, right? Like you're gonna find those truffles in the forest. within the insurance and the billing world, but also you love leadership, like growth and development and this the non-dental leadership podcast of the world and books and we're always talking about that stuff. So I think it's really cool and very valuable for everybody and and gives you just a ton of credibility as we speak to a lot of the things we're gonna talk about. DAT- Kristy (03:15) thank you, Teff. Tiffanie (03:16) Of course. and yes, it is early in the week starting my Starting my Monday podcasting is really fun. And starting my Monday podcasting with Kristy brings it down. It's only 10 a.m. and I feel like it has been a whirlwind this morning. So knowing DAT- Kristy (03:31) Yeah. Tiffanie (03:31) that I'm here, I'm like, okay, actually we're gonna breathe. So I hope all of our listeners feel that. Kristy brings a sense of calm to every every space that you enter. so thank you for doing that for me today. I need it. DAT- Kristy (03:44) Absolutely, my pleasure. Tiffanie (03:46) So, Kristy, this is something I think you're really great at. I do go through and and this was the first podcast on our list, and I was like, Yeah, this is Kristy's podcast. If we do no more DAT- Kristy (03:56) Mm-hmm. Tiffanie (03:56) today, it's at least this one. And we really wanted to speak to the podcasting world here and and dental listeners about how to find growth within a practice without physically growing the practice. And this is something that has come up a lot. And I think Kristy. I've at least had a lot of I've been experiencing this. I've had a lot of practices that are like tapped out on space, right? Like physical space. And after 2020, right? The year of 2020, March to December, this massive boom, right? We had this tank of like, what are we gonna do? And then we just had this massive boom and this influx. And so I think what I saw happen is a ton of practices remodeled or they did expansions, they added as much as they physically could. And they're kind of tapped out. I know I have you know some that are like if I build anymore, I don't have parking where my patients gonna park. And so DAT- Kristy (04:50) That's seven. Tiffanie (04:51) they're finding themselves in this space or they're finding themselves in this space where maybe they don't have the finances right now to physically build or the capability and it doesn't make sense to. So we push growth. We're always saying, you know, seven to ten percent, ten percent is our goal, at seven percent is a minimum, a bare minimum to keep up with inflation. And my Clients, you know, a lot of my practices are looking at me like, okay, Tiff, like that's crazy. So I wanted to chat today through some ideas that we utilize and Kristy that you bring to the table specifically to increase that like dollar per hour, that bottom line, that production collection space without physically increasing maybe even our patient base. Cause Kristy also have got a ton of practices. that are struggling for new patients. We're like scraping the bottom of the braille all trying to find new patients. So yeah, that's where we're at. We're just like, how do you grow without pouring water on a plant and growing it, you know? DAT- Kristy (05:52) Mm-hmm. Absolutely. Tip, I love this subject because so many offices think that it all has to come from new patients, you know? And sometimes new patients can be expensive if we're looking for outside marketing, right? And we have so much to tap into within our practices already. And first and foremost, I always like to say when's the last time you did a fee evaluation? a lot of people after COVID. really didn't tap into this. And I speak to doctors almost every day who think they were at the 80th percentile. And when we look at it, they're down in the 40th or 50th percentile, you know? And I also say tip with that, a lot of docs are hesitant to to look at this because they're like, I'm so high PPO. And I always say, hey, if you don't raise your fees, they're never going to raise theirs either. So Tiffanie (06:47) Yeah. DAT- Kristy (06:48) Taking a look at that first and foremost is huge. Tiffanie (06:51) I totally agree with that. It's something that's overlooked. I love what you said about the PPO space because so many doctors are like, what difference does it make? I'm tied to these fee schedules or nobody ever sees my UCR. Well, they do. The insurance companies see it. And I actually have a practice, I don't remember who I was podcasting with, but we spoke about them a couple weeks ago that they do their fee analysis and updates in during the summer. It's their slow time and so DAT- Kristy (07:16) Mm. Tiffanie (07:18) they do it during the summer. when there's space and there's time because January, you know, that's an influx of just DAT- Kristy (07:24) Basically. Tiffanie (07:25) yeah, is it crazy. And so they move that task to the summer, which I think is really smart. And we actually just went through and did a fee analysis and found that they're they have a couple of insurances that are paying in network almost to their UCR fees. And their UCR fees are not low, right? They're getting like a thousand to eleven hundred dollars for a crown. So when we requested a fee increase, right, they're like, hey, we're already paying 90% or 95% of your UCR, so we're denying it right now. And to your point, Kristy, they need to change their UCR because their insurances are following those UCR fees, right? DAT- Kristy (08:06) Yeah. Tiffanie (08:07) And so many practices overlook that and just go with the flow, and they just like muscle memory, they just keep. you just keep doing it, right? You're like Dory, just keep swimming and you just don't think about what's behind you. And increasing DAT- Kristy (08:20) Yeah. Tiffanie (08:21) those UCRs makes a massive difference, especially when you're a PPO dentist in the area that's at that 50th percentile. You need to be way higher. And if no one's seeing those UCR fees, great. Then guess what? You don't have to have that conversation with your with your patients. that their fees are increasing because you increased fees. Like no now your insurances see those fee increases and then you can request fee increases from them for your fee schedules. DAT- Kristy (08:49) Yeah, exactly. I think it's a it's a huge missed opportunity if if you haven't looked at them in a while. And and I like to say look at once a year. I mean, it it really is worth it and it fluctuates. And don't forget your products if you're selling products. Like make Tiffanie (09:05) Yes. DAT- Kristy (09:05) sure you're updating those and looking at invoices. Make sure you're you're charging the correct, you know, a lot of offices don't add on for like toothbrushes and that sort of stuff, you could actually be going in the hole if you haven't looked at it in a while. So Tiffanie (09:20) Absolutely. I have had so many practices that were that look back, you know, they haven't done it in three, four years and they look at it and they're like, my gosh, I'm literally losing money on fluoride. Like, we haven't updated our fees, so my fluoride costs more than what I'm charging my patients. And I'm like, Yeah, and that's an easy DAT- Kristy (09:37) Crazy. Tiffanie (09:38) one. And even like to your point the oral bee and crest and all of them, they increase inflation, right, is everywhere. So if your goodie bags are, you know, costing a certain amount Add that in too. Take that into consideration because you've got to pay for those somehow, and we forget that those freebies are coming out of our overhead somewhere. We've got to make DAT- Kristy (09:59) Yeah, agree with you, Tiff. you know, the other area that I like is looking at your unscheduled patients. I mean, Tiffanie (10:07) Right. DAT- Kristy (10:08) so many of my practices have a whole practice within a practice and and we get busy and we think we we don't have time to call on those. And I like to say it's a proactive and a reactive approach and making sure we're touching it every single day is huge. Tiffanie (10:25) Yeah. Yeah, and to your point, that's a like a reactivation campaign. This is not just it's also including, but it's not just patients who were due last month that didn't come in. Those are very top of mind. We're hitting those. 90% of our our our practices are hitting those recare due. Recare coming up, recare six months past due, one year past due. This is patients who haven't been seen in 18, 24, 36 months because To your point, there's a practice practice within a practice. I have practices, I know we both do. The physical practice has been around for 30 plus years. You may have been the newest dentist, the newest owner. So maybe you've only been there for two, three, five years, and you're thinking active patient count, but you've got 30 years of this physical space being there of patients who per perhaps haven't seen a dentist or been touched by your recare efforts. DAT- Kristy (11:21) Yeah, absolutely. And I love those ones because you already have a relationship with them. So Tiffanie (11:25) Yeah. DAT- Kristy (11:26) you even if you've physically inactivated them, you can run an inactivated campaign and and systematically touch these people to remind them, Hey, I'm still here. We'd love to see ya, you know. Tiffanie (11:39) Yeah. Yeah. I have a lot of clients that do that reactivation campaign and they're like, okay, but what if they've moved? What if they decided not to come? He's like, great, then you get to clean up your system as well and remind those patients, no matter where they live, they need to see a dentist. So if our goal is to ensure that our patients are healthy, you're still handling that because you're still reminding them to find a dentist and To me, those are new patients, right? And you said earlier, like a lot of a lot of practices will put all their eggs in a basket of a new patient. And I think that comes from the early 2000s of everything was new patients. There were so many consulting companies and I just everything we heard in dentistry was new patients. You heard nothing else, new patients in production. And that's evolved a ton because I think people got tired of being new patient mills, right? Where it was like, We see so many patients, but we're not worried about what's happening to them after they leave that first appointment. And that has dramatically shifted. And that's where this comes into play. So even if you haven't physically, maybe you've been there for a year or three years, you haven't met that patient yet, that's okay. That patient DAT- Kristy (12:49) Sure. Tiffanie (12:50) has a relationship with the practice, with the building, it's memory, it's driving up to the place that you've gone. three, four, five times for your dental care. That's my dentist, right? That's my dental practice. So then you have that opportunity now to build the relationship one-on-one with that person as they enter. DAT- Kristy (13:10) Yeah, agree with you, Tiff. it it's look at the number because I bet you would be surprised at how many patients you have sitting out there. And if truly you are at a capacity, you guys can go through those and look at them strategically. If they have outstanding treatment, those patients potentially could be could be coming back in not just hygiene, but in the doctor's chair too. So Tiffanie (13:32) Yes. Yes. DAT- Kristy (13:34) yeah, there's a gold mine sitting out there most of the time, and it just takes tapping Tiffanie (13:36) Yeah. Yeah. DAT- Kristy (13:38) into it. Tiffanie (13:39) I have a practice that had nineteen thousand patients had touched this physical building at one point or another. Nineteen thousand people in this small town. And I was like, Yeah, stop paying for new patients. Just just physically hit those patients with emails. You just automated emails that go out once a month and you're gonna get you're gonna get patients back because I've seen it and you're gonna get patients that call and say, Hey, actually I moved out of town. Great. clean up our system. So I love those. DAT- Kristy (14:06) Yeah. You know, Tiff, even to that point, how many offices look at how many new patients they get, but take it one step further and see, okay, we had thirty new patients this month, but only twenty rescheduled for another appointment. So making Tiffanie (14:21) Right. Mm-hmm. DAT- Kristy (14:22) sure when we have them or having those conversations to keep them and capture them as they're coming in as well. Tiffanie (14:29) Yeah, I have I had that conversation last week with a client and they asked the great question of okay, is that that they scheduled for their treatment or they scheduled their six month recare? And I said, Great question because I love definitions and both DAT- Kristy (14:41) Yeah. Tiffanie (14:43) because so many patients, Kristy, so many people are like, yeah, sure, we'll schedule. And then they cancel in two weeks DAT- Kristy (14:49) Mm-hmm. Tiffanie (14:50) or six months right before their visit, right? And you never see them again. So if they had treatment diagnosed and didn't schedule that, but they scheduled their six month visit. That's a little fishy to me. So I said both. And that DAT- Kristy (15:01) Yeah. Tiffanie (15:02) leads into that case acceptance space too. We're only watching we're only watching case acceptance of an overall and we're not differentiating to are the new patients accepting versus just maybe recare's accepting that we've already had this relationship because then you're seeing what's that relationship we're building with the new patients? Are they sticking or are they canceling? DAT- Kristy (15:23) Yeah, 100%, Tiff. I think there's a couple other areas too that come to mind for me when it comes to the growth. And it goes back to what you were saying in the case acceptance realm. Like what I found lately is people really have to have some strategic resources for patients to accept treatment, you know? Tiffanie (15:43) Mm. DAT- Kristy (15:44) So from the realm of finances, making sure we have ways that patients can say yes. Tiffanie (15:50) Yeah. DAT- Kristy (15:50) You know, and really measuring when they don't, what what stood Tiffanie (15:54) Yeah. DAT- Kristy (15:55) in the way. Tiffanie (15:56) Yeah, I love that. And that seems to be I think in for my client base, what I've seen is scheduling hurdles and finances, making sure DAT- Kristy (16:05) Yep. Tiffanie (16:06) that there's an easy way to say yes to the price. and making sure that blocked scheduling or whatever it is that you choose to use for your scheduling that it that it works. I've got a lot of patient or a lot of clients that their patient appointments, like they're just throwing things on the schedule to try to fill it. Like especially the ones that are struggling to fill a schedule, they're just grabbing whatever they can. And DAT- Kristy (16:31) Mm-hmm. Tiffanie (16:33) without utilizing a blocked scheduling method and filling it in that way, we do a really big disservice because I think Kristy, what I've seen at least, is sometimes those patients that are in, those appointments that are in that should be an hour, are now taking an hour and a half, two hours because there's other stuff mixed in. And so then we are making our days longer and like, okay, if we're scheduling that, now I need two hours in the future. You probably didn't. You probably just didn't schedule correctly around it. And so you're actually losing a ton of time throughout your day to be more productive. And to your point, Kristy, that's the growth. If we can condense our schedule and do things more effectively and more efficiently, we can add more production onto the schedule. DAT- Kristy (17:20) Agree with you. again, too, in this day and age, a lot of people don't like taking a lot of time off work. So consider Tiffanie (17:27) Yeah. DAT- Kristy (17:27) doing more on your patient while they're there. Give them give them the choice, you know, let them decide. Are you the type of patient that likes to do what more in one treatment, you know, or do you Tiffanie (17:39) Yeah. DAT- Kristy (17:39) want to come more frequently? Tiffanie (17:41) Yeah, and that goes into your being able to say yes to the treatment. I think that's a that's a space as well because if you come at me with like two, three, four appointments, I might be like overwhelmed by the idea and not want to start anything because I can't finish it. And if DAT- Kristy (17:57) Yeah. Tiffanie (17:58) my schedule is too difficult to envision being able to finish all of these appointments in a timely manner, I might just back away and say, you know what, I'm not ready to start anything because I can't figure out how to do it all. DAT- Kristy (18:09) Yep, agree with you, Tiff. And lastly, I think I hear a lot of doctors say, All my patients are so healthy. All my patients Tiffanie (18:16) Yes. DAT- Kristy (18:17) are so healthy. And I I truly think that that's a huge missed opportunity too. It's a great time to take a step back and just say, Hey, what are your long-term goals for your teeth? And maybe now that you've repaired damage in my mouth or gotten rid of infection, this is a perfect time to talk about the cosmetic things that a lot of doctors Tiffanie (18:37) Wonderful thing. DAT- Kristy (18:37) love doing, right? Tiffanie (18:39) Yep, I had that conversation with two or three doctors just last week that I do we hear that constantly, right? Well, I need new patients because my patients are healthy. That's fantastic because what if you could do really fun work on healthy patients? There's ortho, right? And ortho, I love when when practitioners look at ortho as a way to prevent future issues, right? So if you're misaligned, especially the lower anterior. Always right. There's always something there. So it's perio, it's chip teeth in the future, it's losing teeth. Like, how can we help how can ortho become a preventative measurement? And then to your point, cosmetics, whitening. My fiance just asked me the other night. Like he hasn't talked to his dentist at all about it, but he's got two, he's got an implant with a crown and he's got a crown. And they're discoloring. They're they're years old. They're probably like six years old at this point, right? And so they're discoloring. And he's like, What do I even do? Right? Thank goodness. I'm here and I I'm like, well, let me give you your options. You can do four, DAT- Kristy (19:46) Yeah. Tiffanie (19:46) six, eight. Let me tell you what I would do. Let me tell you who I would like all of these things. But he isn't talking to them about it. He's talking to me about it. So how many patients do we have that don't even have someone to talk to about it? They're just sitting there wondering. Could this be better and afraid to say something because it's an embarrassing or confusing or an unknown? Like so many things hold us back. DAT- Kristy (20:13) Yeah, it's crazy. A lot of my clients have heard this story, but the same thing happened with my mother-in-law. Like literally Tiffanie (20:19) Yeah. DAT- Kristy (20:20) when I was in practice, you know, family would come, but she went somewhere with her friends and she saw somebody with a beautiful smile. And next thing you know, she's going to their dentist. Yeah, she came back. Tiffanie (20:30) Yeah. DAT- Kristy (20:32) But my doctors were like, What the heck? And I'm like, But you never asked or showed the possibilities, you know. So don't Tiffanie (20:36) Yeah. Yeah. DAT- Kristy (20:39) forget about your healthy patients. Like, take that step back. And this is a perfect time to discover is there anything you don't like about your smile, you know. Tiffanie (20:47) Yeah. I love that you gave that a story because my fiance literally asked me, Who would I need to go to? Is that something that insert his dentist name can do? And I was like, Wow, this is wild. This is wild. And DAT- Kristy (21:03) Yeah. Tiffanie (21:04) so I've had so many people, I'm in Phoenix, right? We're both in Phoenix, right? So Scottsdale DAT- Kristy (21:08) Yeah. Tiffanie (21:09) is right around the corner, right? Just DAT- Kristy (21:11) Mm-hmm. Tiffanie (21:11) a little a little twenty-five to forty-five minute drive, depending on where you are in the valley. Everyone thinks you have to go to Scottsdale for cosmetic treatment, right? I DAT- Kristy (21:21) Yeah. Tiffanie (21:22) can't get whitening, I can't get veneers. If I'm going to get veneers, right? We have people and legitimately there are a lot of dentists there, a lot of dentists everywhere who do great work. Scottsdale and LA. People fly in from other states to get dentistry done in Scottsdale and LA because they think that's where they have to go. His people don't know. He's worked with he's been a patient at this practice since he had the emergency situation with his front teeth. DAT- Kristy (21:51) Well. Tiffanie (21:52) And he's like, should I go to him? And I'm like, I can't speak to his work, but I can say he he does them. You know, DAT- Kristy (21:58) Yeah. Tiffanie (21:59) so it's like you just don't know what you don't know. And so if we're not having those conversations, I think that's a massive space of growth. And if you're not someone who loves to do that, fine. What do you love to do? You know, how many missing teeth are there? Do you like bridges? Do you like implants? Do you like how many missing teeth are within your recare? How many missing teeth are coming down the pipeline of patients that are in your database? DAT- Kristy (22:25) One hundred percent. And or even maybe you've added new services to your service mix that even your existing patients don't know you're doing. Tiffanie (22:33) Yeah, yeah. I agree. And it doesn't have to be Botox, fillers, threads. Like you don't have to be DAT- Kristy (22:37) Right. Yeah. Tiffanie (22:40) like, okay, well, I've tapped out my crowns and my fillings. Like I've gotta offer these other things. If you want to offer it, great, do it. But if it's not like a desire that you have to be this aesthetic dentist in that capacity, don't do it. You don't have to do all on force. Find something that you love. that you can add to your service mix or something that's within your service mix to Kristy's point that your patients just don't even know that's there. DAT- Kristy (23:09) Yeah. And lastly to wrap it, Tiff, I think so many people don't realize tapping into their own patients to earn that growth, like through social media and that sort of reviews, referrals, you know what I mean? Like give your patients a reason to refer and and even talk about you. Like bring that presence around so your existing patients can share why they love you and others will follow them. Tiffanie (23:38) Yeah. Yeah. Don't be the dentist that your patients are like, I don't know if they're accepting new patients or not. Let me call and find out. Like, no, just let them call and find out. So I agree. DAT- Kristy (23:46) Yeah. Tiffanie (23:47) I agree. I think fee schedule increases. So if you haven't done them recently within the last year, do it. I do love the idea of moving that to the summer or whatever your slow period is. If you're a pediatric dentist, don't do it in the summer. and then looking at service mixes, so what can you do more of? And looking at your schedule and making sure that you're utilizing as much time as you possibly can and that this that the schedule makes sense. I love that. DAT- Kristy (24:14) Agree with you and don't forget that reactivation. Tiffanie (24:17) Activation, that was the other one. Yeah. Don't forget those 19,000 patients that are sitting in your database somewhere. So, yes, I love DAT- Kristy (24:21) Yeah. Tiffanie (24:23) that. Kristy, these were phenomenal ideas. Thank you so much. thank you for DAT- Kristy (24:27) Absolutely. Tiffanie (24:28) making it easy. Thank you for helping so many clients.

The Whore of Revelation The Brit Olam Noahide World Center will host the First International Congress of Noahides in Jerusalem this November, bringing together delegates from six continents to formally establish the World Noahide Movement. The new movement will include a founding charter, a rabbinic court, regional councils, and financial infrastructure • Goy to pay to become Noahide compliant – blaspheme Jesus Christ November 2–6, held under the formal recognition of the State of Israel – Great City where they crucified Christ that is part of USA Inc.. The whore of revelation. Who Are Noahides? The Children of Noah refers to non-Jews who observe the seven universal moral laws. Jewish tradition holds were given by God to all humanity. The Brit Olam organization is recognized by the Chief Rabbis of Israel and is directly associated with Chabad Judaism. Bottomline, if you worship Jesus Christ, it is off with your head and considered idol worship (1906 Jewish Encyclopedia). The Seven Noahide Laws prohibit: murder, idolatry, blasphemy, sexual misconduct, theft, eating flesh from a living animal, and failing to establish courts of justice. A three-stage process moves a person from personal intent to self-declaration to an official declaration before a rabbinic court. Those who complete the process and receive righteous gentile status are considered by halachic tradition to have a share in the World to Come. A November 2025 manifesto describes a "religious symbiosis" — coexistence of the Jewish and Noahide paths on a shared platform of values, with Israel at the center

My fellow pro-growth/progress/abundance Up Wingers in America and around the world:Artificial intelligence is expected to transform the economy, but what about the AI industry itself? Companies across the AI supply chain are now valued in the trillions of dollars. But do the data and current demand justify such lofty expectations, or are investors getting ahead of reality? And when will the AI economy finally begin to live up to the hype?Today on Faster, Please!—The Podcast, I am joined by Azeem Azhar, a Digital Fellow at Stanford's Digital Economy Lab, the founder of Exponential View, a research platform focused on helping leaders understand emerging technologies and their impact on society. He is also the author of The Exponential Age and the co-author of The State of the AI Economy, one of the first serious attempts to measure the size and trajectory of the AI economy from the demand side and know what customers are actually paying for.We discuss where the AI economy stands today, why businesses are still struggling to realize AI's full potential, who stands to capture the greatest gains from the technology, and the roles different countries could play in the “AI Race” between the United States and China.In This Episode:* The AI Economy (0:44)* AI's Return on Investment (6:40)* Will AI Bring an Entrepreneurial Wave? (12:41)* When AI Hits the Bottom Line (17:53)* Who Wins the AI Economy? (23:48)* Europe in the AI Race (30:20)A lightly edited transcript of our conversation will appear in my Week in Review issue on Saturday. (Another option is using the Substack auto transcript function.)But here are some edited highlights from the chat:On AI's creation of abundance…It may look like abundance when you're on the other side before the inflection, but when you're in it, it really looks like a day-to-day grind where you still have to fight for the things that you care about. The notion of abundance in general, I think, defies the realities of physics. You always need energy to get something done.On why AI adoption has been slower than expected…Companies are going through the similar type of process that Paul David describes around electrification, which is that you can put the light bulbs in the workshop—that is the copilot. But to move to the moving assembly line requires a lot more work and a lot more expertise.On AI's challenge for businesses…No business was ever about, “Can we summarize an email quicker than before?” The question is: At what point do AI tools meaningfully come in to make those decisions happen more effectively—either at higher quality, at lower cost, or at higher speed?On why AI may not lead to immediate job losses…Companies realize that there was so much tacit knowledge in their workforce that they just let walk out the door. I think CEOs will start to want to understand: What are we losing when we cut an entire function for an LLM?On whether we know who will win the AI race…If you'd asked me two years ago, the winner was OpenAI, and Anthropic was really just playing around doing God knows what. So I don't think we necessarily know who the biggest winners are. Does Anthropic or OpenAI have a significant role to play in several years time? I'm absolutely sure that will be the case. That doesn't preclude there being other, bigger winners.On Europe's AI opportunity…There's things that states can do, even if they're smaller states like the UK, because they can clear paths, they can help vertical integration, they can get access to the best specific talent. And this is not all about large language models. It's also about models that can stimulate physics or models that can discover new materials.On sale everywhere: The Conservative Futurist: How To Create the Sci-Fi World We Were Promised This is a public episode.

This week I'm catching you up on one of the biggest moments of my year so far! Recording BBC Radio 4's The Bottom Line with Evan Davis, Andy Ransom (former CEO of Rentokil) and imposter syndrome expert Dr Valerie Young.The topic? Imposter syndrome, my specialist subject. Except the moment I found out a million people would be tuning in, my own imposter syndrome decided to show up in spectacular fashion. The irony wasn't lost on me.In this solo episode, I'm sharing:
"Four minutes a day works . . . but not if you are an average or above average person in terms of physical activity level." — Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein You've seen the headline everywhere: just four minutes of exercise a day is enough. There's a real study behind it — a randomized trial published in PLOS ONE — and the results are genuinely impressive. But the fine print matters. In the first episode of a new occasional series, I put a headline-making study under the microscope with orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein of Duke, who gives it to us straight: yes, no, or yes . . . BUT. KEY LINKS The study: "4 minutes of daily exercise" trial (PLOS ONE) is HERE Dr. Wittstein's book: The Complete Bone and Joint Health Plan is HERE Follow Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein on Instagram HERE My AARP article interviewing Dr. Benjamin Levine on reversing heart age is HERE My AARP article on the Japanese Interval Walking Training program is HERE The Age Better Cheat Sheet newsletter on Substack is HERE WHAT YOU'LL LEARN What the study actually found — and why it applies to people who are inactive with existing mobility limits, not to everyone The 10-second single-leg balance test, and the eye-opening research on what being able to pass it predicts The sit-to-stand benchmark Dr. Wittstein checks in clinic — can you get out of a chair without using your arms? Why the real headline may be compliance: participants did the workout 81% of days for three months Why four minutes is NOT enough for bone health, heart health, or body composition — and what the research says actually protects your bones The 7,000-steps finding that's replacing the 10,000-steps myth "Exercise snacks": how one-minute bouts of movement throughout the day add up Joint-friendly ways to get real intensity: the Norwegian 4x4, the air bike, Japanese interval walking, and incline treadmill walking that spares your knees THE BOTTOM LINE Something is better than nothing — but where you start determines what four minutes can do for you. If you're just getting going, this study is proof that a small, doable daily habit creates meaningful change. If you're already active, keep going: the benefits of exercise are dose-dependent, and four minutes won't maintain what you've built. LET'S KEEP GOING If this episode was useful, share it with a friend who needs to hear it, and follow AGE BETTER wherever you listen so you never miss an episode. And for the simple, actionable takeaways from every conversation — including this one — sign up for my newsletter, the Age Better Cheat Sheet, on Substack. I'll see you next week.
An established business can still operate like a startup behind the scenes. When routine decisions, training, approvals, and critical knowledge continue to depend on the owner, growth becomes harder and the entire operation remains vulnerable.In this episode of It's The Bottom Line that Matters, hosts Jennifer R. Glass and Patricia Reszetylo examine why standard operating procedures become even more important once a business reaches the five-year mark. The methods that helped the founder build the company can eventually turn the founder into its biggest operational bottleneck.The conversation covers how SOPs protect quality, prevent standards from drifting, shorten employee training, and preserve knowledge that might otherwise remain trapped inside the founder or a key employee. Patricia also shares how these issues apply to a chef-driven restaurant whose culinary knowledge must be transferred across distance.Jennifer introduces a practical three-question operational audit: the sick-day test, the text-message tally, and the onboarding clock. Each question reveals where missing documentation, weak training, or excessive dependence on one person may be putting the company at risk.This episode is useful for owners who repeatedly answer “How do I?” questions, personally train every replacement, or worry that the business would slow down if they stepped away.The payoff is a company that can maintain its standards, survive employee turnover, and continue operating without requiring the owner to remain available every hour of every day.Speaker Bios:Jennifer R. Glass helps business owners identify the operational, financial, and decision-making friction that interferes with sustainable growth. Her work focuses on stronger business alignment, practical execution, and building companies that can move forward without constant founder intervention.Patricia Reszetylo works at the intersection of profitability, marketing, business systems, and operational discipline. She helps business owners turn ideas and founder knowledge into practical structures that support better execution, stronger follow-through, and long-term business value.Keywords/Tags:It's The Bottom Line that Matters, Jennifer R.

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes Dallas sportswriter Tim Cowlishaw to discuss why Dallas teams are leaving the American Airlines Center area and the impact on fans, then shifts to music and Tim's Springsteen origin story. Tim recounts growing up between New Jersey and Texas, early influences like musicals and the Beatles, and discovering Bruce via a 1974 Columbia “Say Hello to Last Year's Genius” radio ad. He describes a canceled 1974 Sportatorium show, then seeing Springsteen up close at The Bottom Line in 1975 and attending about 30 shows, including a 1984 Chicago trip on the Born in the U.S.A. tour. Tim shares views on setlists and political talk on recent tours, praises The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle and the book Tonight in Jungland, reflects on Bruce's work ethic, and discusses favorites like Taylor Swift, Radiohead, and The National, plus Cowboys and writing life. https://a.co/d/04IjQ10n 00:00 Welcome to the Podcast 01:02 Dallas Teams Leaving Downtown 04:40 From Tulsa to Texas Roots 06:32 King Biscuit Bruce Discovery 08:19 First Shows and Close Calls 13:53 Chasing Tours and Great Seats 19:56 Setlists and Political Talk 21:17 Favorite Album and Studio Lore 24:24 Books and Nebraska Film Debate 25:31 Selling Out Debate 26:00 Springsteen Work Ethic 28:16 Columns And Retirement 29:43 Mavs Ownership Rants 32:50 Taylor Swift Live 35:50 Radiohead Berlin Trip 38:54 Cowboys Season Outlook 40:40 Around The Horn Farewell 41:15 Thunder Road Mary 43:11 Backstreets Terry Mystery 45:13 Wrap Up And Thanks Learn more about your ad choices.

Money sets off the riot in Ephesus, when a silversmith realizes the gospel is bad for the idol business. He dresses up his profit motive in religious language, the crowd picks up the chant, and soon the whole city is roaring for two hours without most of them knowing why they came. Underneath the noise sits a real claim: the message about Jesus was actually changing how people lived and spent, and the gospel still disturbs the arrangements we have built our security on. This episode looks at what happens when the truth touches someone's bottom line. The Rev. Dr. Adam Koontz, pastor of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Oakmont, PA, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Acts 19:21-41. To learn more about Redeemer Lutheran in Oakmont, visit redeemer-oakmont.org. The book of Acts picks up where the Gospels leave off. Jesus has risen. He has ascended. And now what? Acts answers that question. Luke tells the story of how the Holy Spirit built the Church from a handful of frightened disciples in Jerusalem into a movement that reached Rome itself. Along the way, you get Pentecost, the first sermons, the first martyrs, the conversion of Paul, the first church councils, shipwrecks, riots, and the persistent, stubborn work of God through Word and Sacrament even when His people didn't have a plan. If you've ever wondered how we got from Easter morning to the Church you sit in today, this is the book. Tune in for this new series on Thy Strong Word with Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors as we open up the Book of Acts. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

How to Stop Teen Push Back: The Brain Science of Conflict Management Picture this: It's Tuesday night. You ask your teenager a simple, reasonable question about their homework or chores. Suddenly, you're locked in a high-stakes standoff. Doors slam, voices rise, and before you know it, you're launching into a passionate, well-meaning lecture that you know they aren't listening to. We've all been there. As parents of adolescents, it's easy to feel like every interaction is a potential landmine. But what if the secret to ending teen pushback isn't arguing louder or laying down the law harder? What if the key is actually understanding the brain science behind the blowup? In this episode of The Impactful Parent, host Kristina Campos sits down with Mitch Weisberg—seasoned educator, conflict resolution trainer, and author of Mindshifting: Conflict and Collaboration. Together, they break down why well-meaning lectures backfire and how science-backed questions can flip your household script from chaos to genuine collaboration.

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes Dallas sportswriter Tim Cowlishaw to Set Lusting Bruce, beginning with a discussion about Dallas teams potentially leaving the American Airlines Center area and the impact on fans and downtown. Cowlishaw shares his upbringing in Tulsa, New Jersey, and Texas, early musical influences like Beatles and The Who, and how a King Biscuit Flower Hour Columbia Records ad led him to Bruce Springsteen's The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle. He recounts a canceled 1974 Dallas show and finally seeing Springsteen up close at The Bottom Line in 1975, leading to roughly 30 concerts over the years, including 1984 Chicago shows. They discuss setlist predictability, Bruce's political remarks on recent tours, favorite albums and books, and how Springsteen's work ethic influenced Cowlishaw's writing, along with talk of Taylor Swift, Radiohead, and the “Does Mary get in the car?” question. 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:50 Dallas Teams Leaving 04:40 Growing Up With Music 06:32 Discovering Bruce 08:19 First Show Cancelled 09:20 Bottom Line Breakthrough 13:12 Chasing Shows Stories 19:21 Setlists And Politics 21:17 Favorite Albums And Books 24:24 Nebraska Movie Debate 26:00 Writing Influences 26:33 Bruce Work Ethic Lesson 28:16 Still Writing Columns 29:43 Mavs Missteps Brunson 32:50 Taylor Swift Live 35:50 Radiohead Berlin Trip 38:54 Cowboys Season Outlook 40:30 Around the Horn Reflections 41:15 Thunder Road Mary Debate 43:11 Backstreets Terry Meaning 45:13 Wrap Up Social Links Learn more about your ad choices.

GAW Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 Public Show Titles GOA GOALS Aug 1-2 in Iowa. https://goals.goa.org/ Dear WLS Question from Mitch C What is the cast's opinion on the most minimalist gun to carry and method of carry? I don't usually carry my Sig P365 on me because of work and the movements I do. It's not because of any gay ass work place policy, I'm just a bitch I guess. But I do want to carry more and the Bodyguard 2.0 caught my attention for either pocket carry or just the tiniest gun and holster that isn't too intrusive to me rolling on the ground, climbing ladders, or other manual labor that's currently keeping me from carrying my 365. What's the smallest you would go? .25 ACP? Life card (JK LOL)? I know none of those options are as good as 9 but I'm thinking something is better than hopes and prayers if I need it. Question from Two Right Bear Arms Have you had a chance to run a magnifier optic behind a Mediator XL? Is Gideon making a magnifier for it already? Do you even like magnifier optics? #Gideonverse no notes Question from Tony D I'd like to use the under-bed storage in my RV to stash some firearms, ammo, and gear are there any good products for organizing that kind of space out would I be better off building something custom? Question from Nick B Looking to build a trash panda from the gatalog and was wondering if there would be any issues going 338 arc suppressed since it wasn't originally designed for it. Any suggestion on spec comparisons I should be looking at to see if I can go this route? Thanks Question from Spank Me Jeremy I recently got a new pistol. I plan to put niightfision sights on it. My question is should I get the normal sight height or get the red dot height in case I put an optic on it? Does having the optic height one mess with how you shoot if you don't have an optic on the pistol? Question from AinYourFace A couple of episodes ago, probably 20 by the time this gets read, Shawn dropped the “when I used to work at Dragon Man.” How have I not heard about this before. I have never been there but it seems like a crazy place and some big personalities. How about a short, non-hunting story, rundown of what is was like working there? #SSB Gun Industry News Tokarev TT-12 PRO 12GA Semi-Auto Shotgun The Tokarev TT-12 PRO is a 2025 AR/M4-style 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun featuring fully ambidextrous controls, modular aluminum receiver with M-LOK handguard and Picatinny rails, reversible charging handle, Cerakote finish, and compatibility with MKA/T-Trident9 magazines.

How do you stop being the bottleneck in your business? For many founders and managers, the problem starts with something that feels responsible: stepping in, fixing mistakes, answering every question, and approving every important decision.In this episode of It's The Bottom Line that Matters, Jennifer R. Glass and Patricia Reszetylo examine how owner dependence develops and why constantly rescuing employees can train a team to stop thinking for themselves. Delegating tasks does little good when every meaningful judgment still comes back to the owner.The conversation explores reverse delegation, decision authority, financial guardrails, and the difference between teaching someone to complete a task and training them to think through a problem. Jennifer introduces a simple 30-day cruise scenario for identifying the part of a business most likely to break when the owner disappears.Patricia connects the discussion to business systems and transferability. When relationships, processes, and institutional knowledge live primarily in the owner's head or phone, the business may be far less transferable than the owner believes.The episode also lays out a seven-day hands-off experiment: choose one recurring decision, establish clear guardrails, give a team member authority to make the final call, step back, and audit the results after one week.For founders, entrepreneurs, and managers trying to build a business that can operate without constant intervention, this episode offers a practical look at leadership bottlenecks, delegation, team decision-making, and the systems required to step out of the middle.Check out our "Indispensable Scorecard" that we referenced in the episode and see how you can help your business by letting yourself become obsolete!Speaker Bios:Jennifer R. Glass:Jennifer R. Glass brings a practical business-growth and leadership perspective to conversations about decision-making, operational friction, and the systems that keep businesses moving. In this episode, she examines how owners accidentally train teams to stop thinking and offers practical ways to transfer decision authority without removing accountability.Patricia Reszetylo:Patricia Reszetylo focuses on profitability, marketing, business systems, and operational discipline. In this episode, she connects owner dependence to training, business transferability, and the need to build processes that a reasonably qualified person can understand and operate.Keywords/Tags: It's The Bottom Line that Matters, Jennifer R.

In today's episode, Dr. Janet Pilcher implements her own advice to “face the brutal facts” in education. As educational leaders in both K12 and higher education face a changing landscape, Dr. Pilcher explains that it's crucial for leaders to attend to the bottom line to provide what's best for students. Listen as she encourages the practice of facing the brutal facts and responding in positive ways by using scorecards and short cycles of improvement; having open conversations with other leaders; helping people understand where they've been, where they are now, how they got to where they are now; tracking progress; engaging in problem-solving discussions; and making decisions even when they are difficult.

Our first study on 1 Peter! I hope you will stick with me all the way through 11 Peter!Do you ever worry or fret? Do you ever get scared or anxious? God has given us a bottom line foundation so we never have to do any of that. Peter has written a letter to forewarn a group of Christians in the Turkey area that times are going to get rough. But in that God has already prepared them to be able to manage all the persecution with joy.For you as a Christainl, God has also prepared you for anything and everything ahead of you so you can be full of joy no matter what. Take a listen.
The Bottom Line has been on BBC Radio 4 for twenty years. The programme was first broadcast in 2006. Back then smartphones weren't on sale, Facebook had only just gone public and people still went to Blockbuster to rent videos and DVDs. Tony Blair was prime minister, a litre of fuel cost 90p and interest rates stood at 4.5 per cent. Since then there's been a financial crash, we've had energy price shocks, Brexit and a pandemic. Evan Davis is joined by a panel of guests, who first appeared in the early years of the show, to reflect on how the business landscape has changed over that period of time.
