Today, I'm thrilled to announce my interview with Tony winner Will Brill, who will be starring in MEET THE CARTOZIANS off-Broadway this fall. Tune in to hear some of the stories of his legendary career, including the unique process of creating STEREOPHONIC, moving the show from Playwrights Horizons to Broadway, being part of the Tonys campaign, why the response to OKLAHOMA surprised him, the cosmic alignment of A CASE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD, dealing with different audience interactions during OUR TOWN, finding success on TV with FELLOW TRAVELERS, James Lapine's fearlessness in shaping ACT ONE, how Tony Shalhoub scripted gibberish, the meta experience of starring in ILLYRIA at the Public Theater, his method of memorizing lines, playing Shakespeare on screen, co-starring with David Cromer in UNCLE VANYA, a guiding quote from Uta Hagen, the mythology around alcoholism in theater, what he learned from James Earl Jones during YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU, and so much more. Don't miss this in-depth conversation with one of Broadway's brightest stars.

The Human Dimension of International Law (Brill, 2025) offers a vision of international law through the protection of human rights and the values they embody. This approach is particularly timely in light of recent international developments. For the first time, the International Court of Justice is seized of the main legal aspects of serious contemporary crises (Ukraine, Gaza Strip, Syria, Myanmar, etc.), on the basis of human rights instruments, with the participation of dozens of States. In this context, the book analyzes the multiple interactions between general international law and human rights. The former influences the latter, positively or restrictively, as illustrated by the issue of jurisdictional immunities. Conversely, human rights exert an influence on the evolution of general international law, sometimes gently, sometimes drastically. They contributed to the development of the sources of international law, several institutions related to the external relations of the State, the law of the sea, the theory of the subjects of international law, the concept of international responsibility, the system of collective security, as well as the structure and character of the discipline.

In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, I'm joined by Dr. Sherrie Steiner, Associate Professor of Sociology at Purdue University Fort Wayne and historian for the G20 Interfaith Forum. Speaking with openness and candor, Sherrie takes us from her childhood in the California desert through the challenges that shaped her resilience, to her work today in environmental sociology, public health, and global policy. We explore her research on the health impacts of heavy metals, her newly published book documenting religious leaders' engagement with the G20 system, and her belief that achieving the Sustainable Development Goals demands both political will and inner transformation. Along the way, she reflects on the people, moments, and choices that have shaped her understanding of what love means in action. You can find her latest book at Brill. This is the discount code: DGBSUMMER25 (valid until August 31, 2025).   Listener Engagement: Discover the songs picked by Sherrie and other guests on our #walktalklisten here.

For several decades now, Alan Wald has been thoroughly documenting the history of the literature and cultural output of the American left. While his numerous books and essays cover a lot of territory, much of his work is united by an interest in commitment, particularly when it comes to radical politics. What does it mean to commit ones life to a radical political cause, one which may not see anything beyond minor and marginal fractions of success in your lifetime? This question has animated his voluminous writing. On this episode, he joined us to discuss his newest book, Bohemian Bolsheviks: Dispatches from the Culture and History of the Left from the Historical Materialism book series. Clocking in at over 600 pages, this volume collects essays, reviews and reflections published over almost two decades, and offers readers a glimpse into Wald's attempts to map the lefts literary intelligentsia, all the while raising questions about the tensions and ambiguities of its many members and fellow travelers. Published in hardback by Brill, with a Haymarket paperback scheduled later. Alan M. Wald is the H. Chandler Davis Collegiate Professer Emeritus at University of Michigan. His numerous books include The New York Intellectuals: The Rise and Decline of the Anti-Stalinist Left from the 1930s to the 1980s, Trinity of Passion: The Literary Left and the Antifascist Crusade and American Night: The Literary Left in the Era of the Cold War.

In this episode we're joined by Dr. Rebekah Welton, who is Lecturer in Hebrew Bible at the University of Exeter and the author of ‘He Is A Glutton and a Drunkard': Deviant Consumption in the Hebrew Bible (Published by Brill). In our discussion we talk about broader conceptions in the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible of feasting, excessive consumption, and drunkenness, as well as look closely at passages like Deuteronomy 21 and the law about the rebellious son. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities: Dr. John Anthony Dunne and Dr. Brandon Hurlbert. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

✦ Multidisciplinary artist Brill Adium argues that artistic styles are mere constructs—and that venturing beyond your creative comfort zone can spark innovative solutions to everyday challenges. His first solo show, "Brill Adium: Finding My Rhythm," is currently on view at One Contemporary Gallery through September 6. WABE arts reporter Summer Evans spoke with Adium, along with One Contemporary curator and director Faron Manuel, about this expansive exhibition. ✦ Sharon Van Etten is one of indie Music's most influential voices. Her latest record, "Sharon Van Etten and the Attachment Theory," marks a new chapter in her already illustrious songwriting career. The album explores her chosen family, her biological family, grief, aging, and the modern landscape that contextualizes us all. Van Etten has just announced new fall tour dates that will see her returning to the South in October. When City Lights Collective member Jacob Smulian spoke with the musician this past April, she explained the inspiration behind the title of her new album. ✦ Atlanta's vibrant world of cocktails and zero-proof beverages thrives in our bars and restaurants as well as our local distilleries and non-alcoholic bottle shops. Few may know this world better than Beth McKibben, editor in chief and dining editor at Rough Draft Atlanta. Beth's expertise is invaluable as she continually explores our city's elevated beverage programs and examines the latest trends in mixology. She joins The City Lights Collective monthly for "The Beverage Beat," and this month, McKibben discusses snack-size cocktails and why sometimes less is more. ✦ For some artists, Atlanta is a giant canvas. And that seems true for VAYNE, one of our city's most notorious, admired, and internationally recognized graffiti-style writers. You've likely seen his name in giant block letters, sprayed or paint-rolled on some of Atlanta's seemingly impossible-to-reach billboards and overpasses. And yet – there it is. Last year, VAYNE had his first-ever solo exhibition, and this spring, he was a featured artist at Oakland Cemetery's yearly Illumine event. When City Lights Collective Co-host Kim Drobes caught up with VAYNE, they discussed his life spent in the shadows yet seen everywhere. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The collection of wisdom fables known as Kalila and Dimna began its long literary life in Sanskrit more than two millennia ago, and was subsequently translated to numerous languages. But it is the Arabic version, adapted from Middle Persian by the eighth-century scholar Ibn al-Muqaffa, that has left the most substantial literary footprint. A foundational text of classical Arabic prose and the basis for translations into Hebrew, Syriac, Castilian, Latin, Persian, and more, versions of Kalila and Dimna exists in hundreds of manuscript copies held in libraries around the world. Kalila and Dimna is the focus of Isabel Toral and Beatrice Gruendler's new work An Unruly Classic: Kalīla and Dimna and Its Syriac, Arabic, and Early Persian Versions (Brill: 2024). In this collected volume, members of the Kalila and Dimna project discuss, from different perspectives, a core aspect of their work with this textual tradition: the study of variation and mutability. The aim is to shed light on Kalila and Dimna's so-called mouvance and establish typologies of textual mobility and instability across linguistic traditions and historical periods, as well as to develop analytical tools to describe, classify, represent, and interpret these dynamics. As will be shown, the progressive digitalization of philology in the last decades has offered the unique opportunity of putting the concept of mouvance into practice. Contributors include Theodore S.

A foundational text of classical Arabic prose and the basis for translations into Hebrew, Syriac, Castilian, Latin, Persian, and more, versions of Kalila and Dimna exists in hundreds of manuscript copies held in libraries around the world. Kalila and Dimna is the focus of Isabel Toral and Beatrice Gruendler's new work An Unruly Classic: Kalīla and Dimna and Its Syriac, Arabic, and Early Persian Versions (Brill: 2024). In this collected volume, members of the Kalila and Dimna project discuss, from different perspectives, a core aspect of their work with this textual tradition: the study of variation and mutability. The aim is to shed light on Kalila and Dimna's so-called mouvance and establish typologies of textual mobility and instability across linguistic traditions and historical periods, as well as to develop analytical tools to describe, classify, represent, and interpret these dynamics. As will be shown, the progressive digitalization of philology in the last decades has offered the unique opportunity of putting the concept of mouvance into practice. Contributors include Theodore S. Beers, Jan J. van Ginkel, Khouloud Khalfallah, Mahmoud Kozae, Rima Redwan, and Johannes Stephan. Learn more about your ad choices.

How has evolutionary theory shaped educational thinking over the past two centuries? ‘Evolutionary Theory and Education: The Influence of Evolutionary Thinking on Educational Theory and Philosophy' (Brill, 2025) explores the considerable but under-appreciated influence of evolutionary ideas on educational theory and the philosophy of education. The book reveals the interplay between educational and evolutionary perspectives along the concepts of ‘adaptation', ‘selection', ‘inheritance', and ‘progress'. It tracks these ideas across the works of various influential educational thinkers, including Herbert Spencer, Jean Piaget, John Dewey and Lev Vygotsky, and examines their continuing significance for how we understand and practice education today.

Kiera and Tiff discuss chipping away at your goals and problems in small pieces, and how this can stack habits in a way that's not completely overwhelming. This can be applied to your personal life or your practice life! Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera and it's a special day. Spiffy, Tiffy and I are back together on the podcast. You know Tiff, you love Tiff, you hear her with or without me, but today's a special day. You get both of us, one podcast. Tiff, how you doing today?   The Dental A Team (00:15) No, I'm so good. I just love when we podcast together, first of all, and I love that we really well. We roll with the punches well, and this morning has proven that. And this whole week has been a pivot and roll with the punches, and I'm excited for everyone to hear all of the wonderful words we have to say today.   Kiera Dent (00:25) you   Me too. And it is fun because it's funny when Tiffanie started the company, I feel like we talked to each other all the time. And this morning I was getting ready at 530 a.m. because I was like, sweet, I got a lot of podcasts. We're going to start at 6 a.m. today. It's going to be a great day. And I'm like, you know, I used to call Tiff during this time and we just like chat and talk shop. And now it's like, hey, let's catch up on the podcast. OK, it's like, how's life? How you doing over there? Even though we work together all the time, but.   The Dental A Team (00:58) Yeah   Kiera Dent (01:04) I think that that just shows the growth that we've been able to have. And it's interesting, something I will say is as you grow and evolve, make sure that you still stay connected to your key players. think Tiff and I have to now be very intentional. Like we call each other or we'll FaceTime each other or like I'll just randomly FaceTime Tiff while I'm driving with Jason, just so we stay as friends in a relationship because work I think can sometimes accidentally, we're so busy ships in the night, even though we're in the same company. So Tiff, good time to reconnect on the podcast. Hi.   The Dental A Team (01:17) Thank   Good   Kiera Dent (01:33) It's been a hot minute, great to see you. I think I haven't seen you all   The Dental A Team (01:35) to see you.   Kiera Dent (01:36) week, so it's great to see you.   The Dental A Team (01:37) That is so true,   we haven't, not since our leadership meeting on Monday.   Kiera Dent (01:41) and we had like one client call together, which I'm like, hey, it's real fun to be with you here. I'm like, see you later. ⁓ But no, it's truly so fun. And today, and I wanted to just, I think we're seeing it, it's actually one thing that I will say Tiff and I are doing really well that we haven't done is we actually are coaching mutual clients together. We only have a couple and it's been really fun. think Tiff, I feel like it's like our shake and bake, like stocked into Malo, like Tiff to Kiera, like let's just have a good time on it because it's not often other than events that we get to do this. But I think in,   The Dental A Team (01:44) yeah, straight.   Thank you.   Kiera Dent (02:11) coaching clients more together. I think you and I are starting to see this like really awesome pattern that you brought up of a topic of like this 1%. And I know you're obsessed in it and working out, which thank you because every day I think about you and I'm like, yeah, Kieran, just go move your body 1 % more today, like just 1 % today. And so I think in life, but let's also take it to practices and billing. Tiff kind of riffed us on the topic I did and we're just gonna riff for you guys today. Kieran, Tiff, stocked into Malone. If you don't know the jazz, well, you missed out, but.   The Dental A Team (02:25) Thank you.   Kiera Dent (02:38) Basically we're the glory days. That's what this is. It's a glory. It's a dream team back together doing our shake and bake, rattle and roll, talking all things dentistry. So Tiff, take it away.   The Dental A Team (02:48) Yeah, I actually, I think we all know the 1 % rule and we know the compound effect and we know like, we know arbitrarily that these things and these ideas are something we're supposed to do and that they work. And last year, I found myself in this space where I was like, trying to octopus arms a lot of different things in my life that I wanted improvement on. And I had like three, four or five, whatever it was things that I'm like, okay, I'll do a little bit here, I'll do a little bit here, I'll do a little bit here. And it's kind of like,   I was just talking to Erin the other day about like paying down debt, right? So like you're paying down debt and you're like, okay, I'll put a little extra on this card, a little extra on this card, a little extra on this card. And that little bit of extra actually isn't making any progress because the percentages, right? The interest on it is actually eating it alive. And you just get to the spot where you're like, my God, I'm not making any progress in anything. And I'm spreading myself so thin, I'm exhausted. And I found myself there with debt and, but with these areas of my life that I was like, I just want to   feel 50%, 100 % better in these areas. And I was giving a little bit to all these spaces and Aaron and I had a conversation. I was just like, I'm so exhausted. Something's got to give, something's got to change. And he's like, let's pick one. And so I was thinking, and then we did.   Kiera Dent (04:03) I think about your   plate overfilling. From the day I met you, had this image of like, you know how people say like their plate's really full? Tiff's like, no, my plate's full and I have like food. I don't know why it is, but it's like cauliflower, broccoli, carrots is what I've envisioned for you. Just sitting on the side of her plate. So it's like there, then she's got like her sweet potato and it's like on the place map, but it's off the plate. And I think that that's like a really good visual of who Tiff's been since I've met you and how I think.   All of us live our life. This isn't just a Tiffanie, but like whether it's the octopus arms or the plate over like literally, if it's been like cauliflower broccoli, like I just see like a big like hunk of broccoli on the side of your plate. I don't come with it all.   The Dental A Team (04:35) Yeah.   Yes, and I actually   had somebody in my life, I had a friend years ago, gosh, this was like, I remember the stop sign we were sitting at and I remember being like crying, like, gosh dang it, one more thing and I'm like, I can do it, it's fine, because I'm the person that's like, yeah, I can totally do it, I know I can do it, but what cost is it at is not something I always think of and he looked at me he said,   You are like the person at Thanksgiving, that you're just so excited to have some of everything, that you have your plate and you filled it with everything. So you've got your turkey, your mashed potatoes and gravy, and your roll and your sweet potatoes. And then you sat down and you're like, oh, shoot, I forgot. Like this plate, he's like, it's a mounds of food because it's Thanksgiving, right? Which is fair. We all do that at Thanksgiving. He goes, but then you forgot.   about like the pie and somebody else put other rolls out. And so then you like started shoving it under your plate. And he's like, that's your one, you just took a piece of apple pie when you already had pumpkin pie. And you said yes to this, which means you said no to the pumpkin pie because you can't eat both. And I was like, holy cow, I love Thanksgiving, that works. Like I get it. And so yes, that was me. And so again, I don't know how long ago was that? Seven, eight years later, nine years.   Kiera Dent (05:53) No. Five, six, seven, years later.   The Dental A Team (05:56) Like,   Holly, are you kidding me? It came up again. And then somebody else just said it in different terms. And he said, you know, like, if you could do 1 % better every single day in one area, that's your compound effect. If you do 1 % better in five areas, but you only had 1 % to give, you're trying to give 5%, you're going to go backwards in areas. Like, you can't, it just doesn't work. The math isn't there. He does math. Math is his jam. So he's like, the math doesn't, it's not math-ing.   So if you choose one area that is going to bring the most like happiness and joy out of all the other areas that you could easily give 1 % improvement, it's gonna snowball. And what happened, what I found, right, is that that 1 % in my health and my fitness, which is what I chose to focus on, did snowball. And so all of a sudden the habit stacking that I had going on in my health and fitness snowballed.   into those other areas that I was trying to octopus arms into. So I saw slight improvements in those other areas and I was like, okay, everyone, they're both right. It's fine. Thank you. But I started thinking about it today. It popped up today for me actually really strong. I don't remember this morning why it popped up, but it did. And so then when, know, Kara, you and I got on here and like, my gosh, like this is what practices do. This is what owners, business owners do this constantly.   Right? We go into something and we're like, gosh, I've got to be best at marketing. I've got to make money and have great profitability. I've got to be a great leader and I have to have an awesome team and I've got to train people to be leaders. And then we're octopus arms and like Thanksgiving plates say yes to everything, which in turn makes us say no to something else. And so I thought the most you've got octopus arms, you've got your plate. Like what's the most important thing you've got your, you've got your dinner plate overflowing and you look at it and you're like,   I'm probably not gonna eat all of this, right? I would love to be able to eat all of this and not like get the calories from it and not like feel like I'm gonna throw up. Like I want it all, but if I have to go by what's most important and start there, I'm gonna start with the protein and the vegetables. So when you look at your business, right? The protein and the vegetables are going to help my health. It's going to promote.   my muscle build, it's going to like positively impact the goals that I'm working for. If I start with the pumpkin pie, which is where I want to start because I want room for the pumpkin pie, it's a negative. I want it, right? I want the sugar, but like, I know that I feel like crap after eating the sugar. So if I am a business owner and I'm focusing solely on, I don't know, new patients, I only want new patients, but I haven't focused on making sure my team knows how to collect. I'm over here crying to my consultant that   Kiera Dent (08:21) Me Me too.   The Dental A Team (08:43) I don't have any money in the bank and I can't afford my consultant, but my, even my new patients, I've got 62 new patients who also aren't scheduling treatment. Right? So that's like the pumpkin pie. Whereas the protein is making sure we're making sure we're like focusing on the money. Right. And not to the point that we lose the patient experience. That's not my point. My point is what, how can we be 1 % better in our collections? Like, what are we missing? And I had a   revelation finally with a practice this week and I love her to death and I'm just like, yay, we got there because I'm like something's not happening. Something that should be happening is not happening because your insurance AR is beautiful. But over here, we still have almost $200,000 in AR. ⁓ How is it possible when your insurance AR is showing up as like $44,000? Right. And so like getting there, getting there, getting there. But the 1 % is what's something that we can do today to collect   part of what we're missing, right? What's one phone call, one extra phone call we can make? What's one person coming in the door that has a past due balance that we can collect today? Like how can we take that theory of that 1 % better that is so easy to implement when it comes to health, fitness and nutrition? We get it. Our brains are like, yeah, that makes total sense. Eat the protein before the sugar. I get it. I don't want to, but I can do that. But we have such a hard time implementing that in like   the other structures of our lives because it's just not, it doesn't feel as clean and as clear. And I think, Kiera, it doesn't feel as fun, right? Like eating the pumpkin pie is more fun. Marketing is way more fun than billing. ⁓ Hands down, I don't want to do billing. I want to do marketing.   Kiera Dent (10:18) Yeah. Exactly what I was thinking.   What are you saying? was like, the reason we don't go for the turkey is because turkey is freaking dry and pumpkin pie is sweet and fun, which is why people don't like to look at their numbers because numbers are like protein and it's not as fun. And I'm sitting here like shoveling down this nasty turkey that I know is like super lean, no fat in it. And I'm able to get my protein in. And yet when you talked about a tip of like, I think those business owners, this is where you cut out the noise and the elite business owners are able to cut out the noise, not go over the sexy and go for the things that are actually going to build the foundation.   And when you can figure that out, because like Tiff, you and I, it makes me wild when clients come through and they're like, I can't afford this. And I'm like, what do you mean you can't afford this? You have like 300,000 sitting in AR, like bada bing, bada boom, it's right there. And if we just collect before they leave, ⁓ my gosh, a revelation, you actually get paid for the work you did. And we're not like, hey Tiff, you want to pay me like six months later? Like, no, I did the work, let's get this paid. Why are we living in the 1900s? Like we don't have tabs, get rid of it.   The Dental A Team (11:02) you   Mm-hmm.   Kiera Dent (11:23) but it's something so interesting that you're like, we're right. Like I want to do new patients. Like there's so much more fun and also it's a flex. Like when you go to a conference, like, here's my production, here's my new patient number. And I'm like, cool, here's my profit. Like it's not as fun and it's awkward. And you're like, cause also I don't want to tell people my profit. Cause I don't like, is that good? Is that bad? I don't know. So it's this weird zone of it's not safe to share publicly. It's a weird thing to talk about, but at the end of the day, it's the number one thing you're stressing about all day long. And so I think like you said, Tiff,   The Dental A Team (11:36) Yeah.   Kiera Dent (11:53) When you were talking, also thought like every team member could have their 1 % better. So doctors, if you want octopus arms, amazing. You can actually have it through your team members. Like right now, Tiff actually has her one thing in her department that she's focused on. has her one thing in her department she's focused on. Shelby has her one thing. Like they have other things, but it's like, if we can't get anything, these are the top three things that have to get done. And honestly, we went after profitability and like hiring consultants were like, all right, these are the two things. And it's wild when we focus on it, we laser focused.   The Dental A Team (11:57) Okay.   Kiera Dent (12:23) We cut the pumpkin pie, and it was for us, we didn't cut marketing. We were like, all right, this is going to move the needle forward. It's crazy how much more calm life feels. It's crazy how less stressed you feel. And then you're able to move things forward even faster. So I think it's a, and you said it doesn't have to be hard. Like this morning, I honestly thought about your tips, so kudos. This is probably why we were hanging out. Like I need a 1 % better.   The Dental A Team (12:27) Yeah.   So.   Kiera Dent (12:47) I was getting ready for the podcast and I'm like, it's gonna be all day long I'm podcasting today. I'm probably not gonna work out. And I was like, I thought about you in the back of my head and I was like, I could do five minutes   of stretching right now. That would make me feel way better going on to this podcast. It shows me that I honor my body. That's my 1 % for today. And yet my body already has felt better today. And I was in a better mindset on a, it was eight minutes that I did like yoga, stretching, making sure I took care of my body. Did some like quick like lifts for my shoulder.   It was very simple, it took no time at all. And it's the same thing of like your biller could collect on the patients. Like every patient who comes in, if we just collected those balances, you would feel like you're the richest person in the world. If we just called the high balances, just those people alone, that's probably like 50 % of what you need to collect right there. And that's very easy, but it's not sexy. And I think Tim, like, what is the psychology behind, like it's easy, but it's not fun, so we don't do it. Like eating protein dry turkey is such a great example of this.   The Dental A Team (13:26) Okay.   Kiera Dent (13:44) Because it's like, it's needed, it's necessary, and it's super great for you. But I'd rather do the pumpkin pie. Like, how do you discipline that? Or is it just a trained behavior? Like, I think about my sign in the kitchen of discipline equals freedom. I think about this all the time.   The Dental A Team (13:45) Yeah.   I'm   It's true. I think I want to think you have to get no matter what you have to get to the point that you've hit like rock bottom, right? Like it has to hurt badly enough for people to change something for beings to change something like a dog's not going to change its routine until it hurts badly enough going the same direction. Right. So I think no matter what, it has to hurt badly enough. So you have to get into that spot. But psychology behind it, like there's so much that it gets stacked up behind the   the things that we do every single day. And I know I had a conversation with my sister. If my practice is now, always call her out on stuff. But she said to me, she's yeah, she's my Craig. She said to me one day, this is like two weeks ago. Yeah, she doesn't listen. Craig might. So hello, Craig. We love you. We've talked about you for many years and you are a staple of our company. ⁓ But she said to me,   Kiera Dent (14:35) She's your Craig.   Okay.   Bye.   The Dental A Team (14:51) one, it was so simple. was like, there was this yogurt in the fridge that she had gotten. I'm like, Hey, don't forget you had this yogurt in the fridge. She goes, Oh my gosh, I couldn't remember if that was yours or it was mine. And I was like, heck no, girl, did you know you can get the same yogurt in this brand? And it's like, instead of 120 calories, it's 60 calories. Cause I'm like, I'm watching my freaking calories because I've seen that change, right? I've seen that difference. And she was like, Oh my gosh, whatever. Right. She gets tired of hearing me say it. I'm like, well, stop talking about food with me. Right. But then we get like,   ice cream and I chose actually like I chose this amazing dairy free. so good. I create that right. It's like whipped cream right coconut whipped cream and you freeze it and you put fruit in it. I need a sprinkle delivery system is what I call it. That's my sprinkle delivery system. It's literally frozen whipped cream and I pour sprinkles on top of it right. Well my sister tells me I don't want to have to say no to something if I want something I want to be able to have it.   And so she gets the loaded ice cream, which I don't care. I have no care in the world on what you eat, but that statement, I was like, oh my God, that's the statement. That's the thing that keeps us in the space that we're in because we've convinced ourselves that saying no to the pumpkin pie and yes to the Turkey hurts. That it's like, no, I should be able to do whatever I want. Cause that's the societal thought process that we live in. I should be able, and I'm like, okay.   But saying yes to that has changed something else. So I'm saying no to my fitness, to my health, my fitness, my mental stability, because sugar changes how I think, right? I know this. I know sugar. I know TV. I know social media. I feel different. My thought process is different after these things, right? So if I say, want to have that, I don't want to have to say no, I am saying yes to the sugar.   So I'm saying yes to the distraction in my business while saying no to the thing that's gonna push me forward and make me a better human for myself. Because if I say no to the protein, but yes to the sugar, my brain works differently and that makes me more angry inside than not having the pumpkin pie.   Kiera Dent (17:03) Totally. And as you said that, Tim, thought about like people always like dentists are interesting. And I know you hear this. I hear this. All of our consultants here. People want to know like what sets apart the elite practices, like what makes it. And I'm like, it's literally this discipline. It is what Tiff just talked about where you realize that saying yes to the protein and lifting weights is better for you, better for the company, better for long-term sustainability rather than the shiny or urgent issue that's hitting you right now.   It is so fun to talk about marketing. It is so fun to sit here and dream of all these great ideas. But the reality is if I'm not making money, then why on earth am I doing this? And you can justify it all day long, but well, because we need marketing because this will help us make more money. But I'm like, if there's gaping holes in your bucket right now, have the discipline. And I think that that's where...   The Dental A Team (17:29) Yeah.   Kiera Dent (17:49) I think I've been watching a lot of things and they say like some of the most successful people in the entire world are the ones who wake up early and workout consistently every day, no matter what rain or shine. does not matter. It's not always a guaranteed same amount of workout, but it's the discipline and the habit that they've created that they know when they say like we do what's most important for our body. We do what's most important for our business. Their body's not revolting like, but I want the sugar. It's like, no, when we say go, we go and you're training. This is why I think cold plunging people like that. They like these other things. It's like you're training your body that would you command and when you command your brain.   The Dental A Team (18:12) you.   Kiera Dent (18:19) you are actually going to execute on this. And I think if you could even take it in food or you could take it in small areas, what you're doing in your personal life is actually training who you're going to be as a business owner. so helping you see, and like, is me, mean, Tiff, shoot, I was the cake pop girl. Like the one was last time you saw me eat a cake pop. Like this is not something that we even do anymore because we're like, absolutely not. I know we're going to feel terrible. That's not fueling our body that needs to then be able to be sustaining.   The Dental A Team (18:28) 100%.   Same.   Kiera Dent (18:45) And I think it's like that maturity as well of business ownership and discipline. But I'm like, you don't have to wait through all the years. You can realize today, what's my 1 % in the true problem area of my business. we do in our mastermind, Tiff and I actually put together this survey that we have our clients do every single quarter in our in-person mastermind. And we asked the question, if your business could talk today, what would you say is the number one problem in your business? Whatever that is.   The Dental A Team (18:51) Mm hmm.   Kiera Dent (19:11) go fix that and be 1 % better. And I think Tiff, that's such a good question we ask. We ask about your relationships too, but I'm like, if you looked at that, that's the one area. And if that's truly your biggest pain point, which most offices it is, most people come to us for cashflow. Yes, it's cashflow, it's overhead, it's systems, it's leadership, but I'm like, usually the pain is on cash. I'm I'm freaking broke, but you waited until you were broke, broke, broke before you reached out for help. So if you're like teetering this, reach out now. If you're really there, it's okay, it still help you out.   The Dental A Team (19:31) Yeah.   Kiera Dent (19:41) But I think it's just a matter of like train yourself this discipline, ask yourself that question and then go to work and stay so laser focused. Because I think if you can train yourself to stay laser focused, ⁓ I asked a coach, she's working with billionaires and I said, what's the number one thing that sets apart the really high end achievers versus the others? And she said, it's focus. They have insane ability to focus on the problem that needs to happen and they don't get sucked up in the wash. And I thought that was so powerful and I think everyone can be that way. So those are kind of my wrap up thoughts of the 1%.   The Dental A Team (20:00) enough.   Kiera Dent (20:10) Collect like, and it's not hard. It's like collect one balance more. It's diagnosed one more thing that you'd normally put a watch on. It's we call one balance today that's a high end balance and we just do that versus like, oh, I got to do the whole list. No, you just do one. Cause the small chips will add up to the big thing. And it's the snowball effect. Dave Ramsey talks about with debt. You literally put all of it onto your hardest debt. Now you put all that money there. You snowball that you pay that one off. Then you take that amount, put it on the next one, snowball that make that. And this is the same thing in your business. It's habit stack.   The Dental A Team (20:38) And the hands.   Kiera Dent (20:40) But   I think more than that, it's teaching you to be a CEO rather than to be a flighty employee. Like my two cents.   The Dental A Team (20:47) I totally agree. And I think that 1 % is so perfect because what you just said, it compounds, right? It snowballs. So if you can have your billing department or whomever, your office manager, whoever it is, stop being so distracted by the easy things, right? I always say make your life easy by doing the hard things. Just because it's easy.   Kiera Dent (21:08) rewind that back. She just   said, make your life easy by doing the hard things. Like, I hope you heard that. You make your life easy by doing these hard things. Go off. That was Brill.   The Dental A Team (21:16) Yeah, doesn't   mean, thank you, it doesn't mean there are no hard things. It doesn't mean you don't have to do hard things to have an easy life. Like I live a fairly easy life in my opinion, but holy cow, have I done and do I do really hard things, but I don't shy away from it. And I get asked a lot, like, how did you get through that? Like I have gone through some crazy life traumatic items and people are like, how did you get through that? And like, I don't know, I just did. I just didn't ignore it. And I just...   pushed through and got to the next layer, that next level. And if you do that same thing, it starts to compound. You stack those pieces. So if you make one hard call today, one balance that you're like, shoot, this person's gonna be mad, get it out of the way. Because guess what? They're only going to be more mad if you wait three months and you're like, hey, six months ago.   Kiera Dent (21:58) You   The Dental A Team (22:07) you were here and like you didn't pay or we got your frequency wrong and you owe $500 on a crown that we thought insurance was gonna pay. They're gonna be like, I was six months ago, why are you just now calling me? So do it today and get it out of the way. And guess what? If they're upset, like have a conversation with them, it's fine. So then you flex that muscle, right? Like my boyfriend hates doing legs. Well, he sucks at legs cause he doesn't do it. So it's like, just do it. So it's easier. I hate working out chest.   just do it so that I can be stronger later. So yeah, it sucks making those calls, but it's not that hard. I sat in an office one day, I'm gonna tell this story, because I think it's just funny. I sat in an office one day and I hear, meh, meh, meh, this person won't pay. She says she has no money. She doesn't answer our calls. It's been here for two years. And I was like, girl, give me the phone. And I called and left a voicemail and I said, hey.   Kiera Dent (22:52) I'm   The Dental A Team (23:01) I really need to talk to you because your balance is about to be out of my hands and I do not want it to get to that next step. Please call me back like today. I really, really want to help you take care of this. Guess who called within 10 minutes. They have been calling quote unquote. I don't know if they called or not. I don't know. Right. Forever. They've sent statements. This woman has no money and won't pay. Guess who started making $50 monthly payments to keep that account from going to collections. I don't know where it was going to go. I usually just blame it on the next step.   guess who started paying and the doctor was like, Lord, three more calls, three more. I collected, sitting in that office, I was there to consult them and I collected on four large past due balances for that practice in 30 minutes. It's not hard. We just make it uncomfortable and you just have to get through it.   Kiera Dent (23:49) Mm-hmm.   Tiff, so much brilliant. And I think this is why we love consulting. We're able to help your offices see the frog they need to eat, see which one, because you can be like messy in the noise. And this is why having outside people, Tiff, like Erin and your other friend who point out like, hey, your plate's freaking full. Stop like shoving food underneath it. having octopus arms. Sometimes you need to see where you're overextending and overflowing to be able to make those changes. And so if we can help, like obviously Tiff and I love to do this, reach out, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. But today go look to see what's my number one.   The Dental A Team (24:10) You   Kiera Dent (24:25) problem. Not the one that I want to work on but the actual problem. How can I get like 1 % better in this? Commit for the next three months and then let us know how that goes. A lot of us need accountability buddies which is where we're really great. It's always better with a buddy. It's better when I know Tiff's working out, I'm working out, we're able to like I got back on the Peloton Tiff because I got you back on the Peloton. Like we're both back on it. But this is where sometimes it's better with a buddy. It's more fun. So reach out if we can help you. Tiff, thanks for being on the podcast. I adore you. I love your analogies and girl I'm proud of you. Your food's not...   The Dental A Team (24:41) Yeah.   course.   Thank you.   Kiera Dent (24:53) 100 %   overflowing anymore. think you've got like on the plate. So kudos. You're making huge progress.   The Dental A Team (24:57) Thank you.   Thank you. And thank you everyone for listening. We truly love and adore each and every one of you.   Kiera Dent (25:04) We do. And as always, thanks for listening. We'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.

In this episode of Highly Enlightened, host Jon Purow connects with Samuel Brill, CEO of Ascend Wellness Holdings. Prior to becoming CEO, he he first served as Lead Independent Director and now leads the charge at one of the country's largest multi-state operators. He is a veteran of capital markets, private equity, and corporate transformation—with nearly three decades of experience guiding businesses through high-stakes moments. Before stepping into the cannabis space, Sam led private equity efforts at Seventh Avenue Investments, managing the portfolio for a multibillion-dollar single-family office focused on turning around underperforming businesses. He's also served as CIO at Weismann Capital, overseeing investments across credit, real estate, and structured deals. Sam's fingerprints are on a range of industries—from medical devices to distressed debt—and he currently chairs the board of Invacare Holdings while advising companies through his consultancy, S Brill LLC. Across it all, he's been the steady hand in the boardroom, the turnaround strategist behind the scenes, and the one asked to lead when stakes are highest.

Brilló como pocos… pero su historia oculta más sombras que luces. Joselito, el pequeño ruiseñor, fue un fenómeno mundial. Fama, dinero y aplausos desde niño… pero también abusos, traiciones y un oscuro declive. ¿Quién se benefició realmente de su talento? ¿Qué fue lo que lo llevó del estrellato a la cárcel? En El Filip, te contamos la historia que muchos han querido olvidar… pero que merece ser contada.

In this video, I explore the magical dimension of Bruno's thought—an aspect often overlooked or dismissed in favour of his more fashionable reputation as a forerunner of modern astronomy. But Bruno was no mere proto-scientist. He was a visionary who believed that the universe was infinite, ensouled, and fundamentally magical—a living network of correspondences that could be navigated through imagination, desire, and memory.Drawing from his key texts—De Magia, De Vinculis in Genere, On the Composition of Images, Signs and Ideas—and supported by the work of scholars like Frances Yates, Ioan Couliano, Karen DeLeón-Jones, and Manuel Mertens, I show how Bruno developed a magical system where cosmology, ritual, and philosophy collapse into one another. His art of memory wasn't just a mental exercise—it was a theurgical practice. His use of images wasn't ornamental—it was a means of binding the soul to the divine. And his vision of the magician wasn't that of a trickster or charlatan, but of a philosopher in ecstatic alignment with the cosmos.CONNECT & SUPPORT

Papusza / Bronisława Wajs. Tears of Blood: A Poet's Witness Account of the Nazi Genocide of Roma (Brill, 2024) is nothing less of an academic, literary, and historical miracle. It is dedicated to a key figure of Romani literature, Bronisława Wajs, also known as Papusza. This book offers—for the very first time in history—the full version of Papusza's key work, Tears of Blood, which was considered lost for seventy years and circulated only in a highly reduced copy. This poem is a unique account by a woman about the Roma Holocaust in Eastern Europe during WWII. Beyond this important historical and literary document, the book also provides literary translations of this manuscript into several languages, including English, and has chapters written by leading researchers of Romani Studies who comment on the history of this text and the challenges behind making it available to the broader public. It took the team over three decades to locate the manuscript, transcribe it, translate it, and fill in the gaps in its history. Volha Bartash is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Münster in Germany and a co-convenor of the network “Margins of Memory: Cultures and Politics of Non-Hegemonic Remembrance.”  Tomasz Kamusella is Reader in Modern Central and Eastern European History at the University of St Andrews, whose work focuses on language politics and nationalism. Host: Tatiana Klepikova is a Freigeist Fellow of the Volkswagen Foundation and leads a research group on queer literatures and cultures under socialism at the University of Regensburg.
