In this episode of the Millennial Dentist Podcast, Dr. Sully Sullivan discusses a pressing issue in dentistry: dentists often abdicate rather than delegate responsibilities, leading to inefficient practices. Joined by Brett Wilson from Digital Doc, they explore how leveraging digital technology and improving patient communication can enhance case acceptance and allow dentists to focus on more profitable, fulfilling procedures. They emphasize the importance of photography, financial options, and strategic communication to avoid the "crown of the year club" and instead offer comprehensive care.    @01:11 Brett from DigiDoc @02:47 Being Curious - Photography @07:54 Communication - Financial @17:30 Changing the Practice Mindset @18:47 The Dentist's Role in Financial Discussions   Who is Dr. Sully Sullivan?   Dr. Sully is a fourth-generation dentist from Nashville, Tn. After receiving his doctorate of dental surgery from the University of Tennessee, he moved back to Nashville to practice with his father. By continuing to invest in his education through adult orthodontics, soft tissue grafting, dental implants, third molar extractions, and obstructive sleep apnea, he helped double his practice in just 24 months.   As a millennial, he truly believes in working smarter not harder, which has led him to utilize technology to not only deliver better patient care but more efficient care. Dr. Sullivan regularly uses CEREC, 3D imaging with Galileos, 3D printing, and multiple lasers. In addition to his practice, he started the Millennial Dentist Podcast in February of 2017 to help push his fellow colleagues to take their dental careers to the next level. Dr. Sully lectures around the country on cone beam technology, cad/cam dentistry, obstructive sleep apnea, and practice management. He is also an ambassador for the 3D-Dentist teaching facility in Raleigh, NC.   As always, thanks so much for listening!

For a brief moment this week, it looked like Justin Trudeau was facing criticism from inside his own house when Avalon member of Parliament Ken McDonald indicated support for a leadership review. However, soon after McDonald backtracked and praised Trudeau's abilities as a campaigner while assuring people he wasn't seeking a review. While it isn't all that believable, it shows that Trudeau still has a tight grip on his caucus with no room for dissent, True North's Andrew Lawton says. Also, thousands of people came out in Alberta yesterday to hear from Tucker Carlson as well as Premier Danielle Smith, Jordan Peterson, Conrad Black, and W. Brett Wilson. True North's Rachel Emmanuel joins the show to talk about what went down. Plus, what does the Federal Court's smackdown of Trudeau's use of the Emergencies Act mean for civil liberties in Canada? Lawyer James Manson of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms weighs in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Max Fawcett is one of Dean's favorite writers. He's the Lead Columnist at Canada's National Observer. He's a left-leaning academic from Calgary, Alberta, who writes about climate change, so he's brave... We started by discussing how having a different news cycle and ecosystem in Alberta is possible. What news do Albertans and people in western provinces consume and what they don't, and how does it radicalize people into pure hatred? Brett Wilson was a good man before the pandemic. He still might be, but we talked about the decline of our old friend, billionaire philanthropist, into the conspiracy nether regions. How can an intelligent, successful person be so purposefully hateful? Brett spends hours spinning conspiratorial tweets to the masses denying climate change while demanding to know how Saturn's weather p[patterns work. Cuku. Dean and Max give some backstory and reasoning behind Brett's decline. #TuckerCarlson is coming to #Alberta this month, and Max has some thoughts while Dean has some questions. Tucker himself regularly tells lawyers during his for spreading lies that no one should take his lies seriously, so how is it possible that 25k Albertans take him seriously at two sold-out events?

It was there, boarding our motorcycles onto the ferry, that the fellow next to me pulled off his jacket to reveal a t-shirt that not only caught me by surprise, but made me laugh.  We struck up a conversation right away.  His black t-shirt had a simple slogan on it that said “Go Fast, Don't Die”.  Oh, now that's genius!  I get it!  I'm sure that statement could be interpreted in many ways, but for me it means, do what you can, while you can.  I guess, live life to the fullest.  Mindfulness helps!  Do what makes you happy.I love the feedback and want to hear from you!  Here's my request.  Send me an email:  ron@peacelovemoto.com.    Thank you!https://www.gofastdontdie.com/https://youtube.com/shorts/-4fwQ10BCdY?si=p7q_E6xbYXmSmh-6Music by:Gary Schmidt: https://www.garyschmidtmusic.com/Brett Wilson:  https://www.mountainzenden.com/Oleg Kirilkov from PixabaySergii Pavkin from PixabayVitalii Korol from Pixabay

This conversation is with Brett Wilson, who has composed the first English translation of the classic and controversial novel from late Ottoman Turkey Nur Baba--a classic of modern Turkish literature written by Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu--offers a unique window into Sufi lodges, social dilemmas, and intellectual life in early twentieth-century Istanbul. Wilson's tranlsation is both lyrical and captivating, and will make for an excellent resource for courses on Sufism and Islam more broadly Inspired by Karaosmanoğlu's personal experiences with Islamic mystical orders, it is a story of illicit romance and spiritual inquiry, depicting a colourful lodge of Sufi dervishes led by a charismatic, yet morally suspect, spiritual master named Nur Baba. The plot follows his attempts to seduce an attractive married woman from an elite family and recounts her dramatic experiences in the life of a Sufi community. The setting shuttles between the grand mansions of Istanbul's elite families and a Sufi lodge where rich and poor intermingle. Exploring questions of gender, morality, and religious bias throughout, it captures the zeitgeist of early twentieth-century modernist thinkers who criticised Sufism for impeding social progress and debated the public roles of women in a rapidly modernising society. Alongside the editor's meticulous translation, Nur Baba: A Sufi Novel of Late Ottoman Istanbul (Routledge, 2023) includes a scholarly introduction, maps, and images, as well as explanatory footnotes that will aid both students and scholars alike. The novel will be of particular interest to those studying world literature, Sufi studies, and Ottoman-Turkish history. SherAli Tareen is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Franklin and Marshall College. His research focuses on Muslim intellectual traditions and debates in early modern and modern South Asia. His book Defending Muhammad in Modernity (University of Notre Dame Press, 2020) received the American Institute of Pakistan Studies 2020 Book Prize and was selected as a finalist for the 2021 American Academy of Religion Book Award.

After seeing the movie "On Any Sunday" as an 11 year old, I was transformed.  I fell in love with motorcycling.  Little did I know what impact that riding would have on my outlook on life.  In this week's Episode, we discuss the movie that many say inspired them to ride.  We also read the lyrics to the movie's theme song that so graciously captures our passion for riding.Music credits:Brett Wilson https://www.mountainzenden.com/Gary Schmidt https://www.garyschmidtmusic.com/Resources:https://www.damfinoroads.com/sally-stevens

Welcome to the Mountain, and another Fireside Friday here at MZD where we meet with guests and share heart-to-heart the joys and benefits of the natural world for mindfulness and personal transformation, naturally! Hey Friends, Brett Wilson here – your host and Trail Guide at Mountain Zen Den, encouraging you to connect with Nature for mindfulness and personal growth – naturally! Come on in… Minnesota singer/songwriter Peter Mayer writes songs for a small planet--songs about interconnectedness and the human journey--songs about life on earth and the mysterious and wondrous fact of our existence. He also writes songs about dress hats, pumpkins and pajamas, and other important stuff. But I love the fact that he writes insanely beautiful songs about spiritual awakening, oneness with the world, and deep connection with Nature. His music has been performed by artists like Kathy Mattea, David Wilcox, and Darryl Purpose, to name a few. His work has been included in songbooks, church hymnals, and folk radio playlists across the country, and he is the recipient of fellowships from the McKnight and the Bush foundations. He has eleven plus albums to his credit, and to date, has sold over 100,000 of them. Today, I am so excited to be sharing a conversation Peter and I had recently, discussing Nature, Spirituality, and everything in between. His Nature-inspired imagery, music, and the stories he tells, so resonate with my heart, and reflect what Mountain Zen Den is all about. You are in for a very special treat, and I don't want to make you wait a moment longer, so lets just jump right in, C'mon!

Welcome to the Mountain! Hey Friends, Brett Wilson here – your host and Trail Guide at Mountain Zen Den, encouraging you to connect with Nature for mindfulness and personal growth – naturally!  Come on in… How are you?  I am so excited to be back with you after an extended hiatus, where we have taken some time to get away, plan, and restructure things at the Den. There is so much to tell you, and I cannot wait to share with you all the incredible human beings and resources we have been meeting and curating just for your well-being and personal development. We are starting a new season here at Mountain Zen Den.  Can you believe it?  Season 6!  Over the past few months I have had the opportunity to face some personal challenges, (aka personal growth opportunities — as do we all), doing some deep thinking, strategizing, re-purposing, and making new friends with some truly wonderful and inspiring people.  We'll be introducing them to you in the next several episodes — musicians, writers, documentary wildlife filmmakers, deep thinkers and spiritual healers — all beautiful souls who are deeply in touch with the natural world.  Stay connected… you are in for a real treat! The challenges, struggles and processes over the past few months have helped me realize more than ever how very short life is, as Michael Singer, author of Living Untethered points out – and I quote, “Sitting on a planet through vast outer space for a handful of years — in the broadest sense, this is the human predicament.  Earth has been here for 4.5 billion years, yet each of us is limited to roughly an eighty-year ride on the planet, give or take a few years.” Well, I have committed to using what's left of my eighty or so years to not only Grow to become to become the very BEST version of myself, my inner Daimon, to use the Greek word for it, but to take a whole bunch of like-minded folks along for the ride — in fact, on a Joy-ride, a Hero's Journey through Nature.  So if this sounds like you, and you haven't already, I invite you to join the Mountain Zen Den Community by subscribing at mountainzenden.com.  You'll get updates and information, and a whole mountainful of resources in our Blog Cabin newsletter. There is so much goodness and positive things happening out there that we'd like to share with you to help you in your journey for Personal Growth and well-being.  I'll just mention a couple of them today, and you can learn more and find the links to them on our resources page at MountainZenDen.com/Resources. Finally, I'm excited to share some personal news.  Over the past couple of years I have been writing a book based on some of the nature-based life lessons learned, insights and personal observations I have made relating to Nature and Personal Growth.  The working title is, Grow You  — Cultivating Your Garden of Well-Being (Transform Your Inner World, Become Your Best Self and Enjoy Life to the Fullest).  It presents Practical nature-based guidance and meditations for becoming the best version of yourself through Personal Transformation — featuring stories, practical ideas taught by experts, and daily meditations you can use on your journey of well-being.  Super excited.  So stay tuned! Now, on to today's show.  In the past, I have often found myself feeling like I am just barely able to keep up with the seasons; always rushing from one holiday or event to another, never feeling prepared or truly able to live in the moment and enjoy it.  So today, I thought we could get a jump on New Year's goals by getting a running start in November — before the holiday season begins, before all of the running around, shopping, parties, and bad-for-you junk food binging, before setting traditional New Years' goals on New Years' Eve, or the beginning of the new year… Can you imagine what a huge advantage you will give yourself by getting a headstart on next year by starting several weeks earlier? So hopefully we can make some forward thinking plans and resolutions that will be well in place by the time New Year's rolls around, and avoid having to undo some of the damage that has been done over the holidays, making it harder to get a running start on the new year.  New Years' goals are great, but new days' goals, lived day by day, lead to a life of excellence.  And isn't that why we are here?  I hope so! Today, let's take some time to explore the concept of “Finding your Purpose” (with a capital “P”).  After all, if you don't know your purpose, how do you know how to make new years' goals and plans? So what do we mean when we say “Purpose with a capital ‘P'? Your Purpose should be your highest goal in life.  Different from your Mission, which evolves and morphs at varying stages of life, your number one Purpose is to nourish your soul.  As Abraham Maslow points out in the hierarchy of needs, “What one can be, one must be.” Now if this sounds selfish, or narcissistic, we need to remember the oxygen mask on the airplane example.  If you don't first take care of yourself, and aren't healthy in every area of your life, how can you help or be of any service to those around you? We all have the same purpose, and as I mentioned, that is to nourish our soul; to discover our unique calling and gifts.  To grow to become the best version of ourselves, actualize our potential and then turn around and help others.  When we find our Purpose and discover our Mission, and are on the path to being all that we can be, (as Maslow reminds us), we naturally give of ourselves, our greatest gift, in service to the world.  So once we discover our Purpose, how do we continue giving our greatest gifts in greatest service to the world? I love the way Brian Johnson, creator of Optimize, and Founder and CEO of Heroic puts it:  He says, we do it by closing the “Gap” between who we are and who we can potentially become by living with Arete.  That is A-R-E-T-E, Arete - the Latin word the ancient Stoics used that can best be described as “Virtue” or “Moral Excellence”.  When we live to our fullest potential from moment to moment to moment, we are living with Arete, thus fulfilling our Purpose in life.  I've found that the most practical way of doing this and to stay on track is to, all throughout the day ask myself, “What would the best version of myself be doing right now?”  And then, most importantly, do it!  Easier said than done. So what is the difference between our Purpose and our Mission? Your Mission is your unique purpose.  What is it that you, and only you can do? It's important to understand that we have many missions in life, depending upon where you are and what stage of life you are in.  For example, if you have children, only you can be a Dad or Mom to your kids.  Your Mission, or “Calling” if you will is to be an extraordinary father and husband, or mother and wife, and a present member of your family.  Something I wish I understood better when my kids were younger… Nature in the wild, and on the farm gives lots of great illustrations of what this looks like – Cows give milk, chickens lay eggs, horses pull plows and give rides, and bees pollinate flowers.  Each of them offers a different product, or service to the planet that only they can fulfill.  And it's the same with people as well.  Only, even more individualized. So how do we find our unique purpose? Your unique purpose comes at the intersection of four areas or circles in your life. What is it you love to do? What is it that you are good at? What is it that you and only you can do best? What does the world need? At the point where these four circles converge is where your unique purpose shows up. Now for some people, it takes nearly a lifetime to discover their unique Purpose.  Sadly, for a great portion of the world.  They never discover their unique Purpose.  And for a very lucky few, they find it very early in life.  But no matter.  It's not a race.  It is a Journey.  A Hero's journey, if you will.  It is your unique Journey that you are called to, if you are still enough to hear, and wise enough to follow. We will talk about this a lot more in episodes to come, but for today, let's just take a little time in our meditation, to ruminate and chew on those four questions. What is it you love to do? What is it that you are good at? What is it that you and only you can do best? What does the world need? As we seek our Purpose and unique Mission in life, if we are on the path of True Love and service, every step we take will be a step in the right direction.  Trust the process.  Trust the calling…   SHOW NOTES/LINKS   Heroic + Optimize with Brian Johnson     Living Untethered by Michael
