When your client is going through the worst moment of their life, being their lawyer sometimes means doing more than practicing law. On Episode 284 of The Lawyer Stories Podcast with Benny Gold, we sit down with Jason DeSouza, Founder and Lead Trial Attorney at DeSouza Injury Lawyers in San Antonio, Texas, to talk about his journey from Toronto to Texas, discovering his calling in the courtroom, and building a personal injury firm from the ground up. Jason started his firm in 2015 with just himself and a paralegal. Today, he leads a team of roughly 30 representing people in serious injury, trucking, oilfield, and catastrophic injury cases throughout Texas. But Jason's story is really about people. His blue-collar upbringing shaped the way he represents clients and his commitment to communities that larger firms can sometimes overlook. At one point, that commitment even meant lending his own car to a client who needed help. We talk about scaling a law firm without losing the personal connection, becoming a better trial lawyer, standing up to corporations and insurance companies, leadership, and why Jason believes a person's life can never simply be reduced to a number on a spreadsheet.

Waiting until you "feel ready" to own a dental practice could be one of the most expensive decisions of your career. In this episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, Dr. Len Tau sits down with Brian Hanks, founder of Dental Buyer Advocates and author of How to Buy a Dental Practice, to talk about why younger dentists are waiting longer to become practice owners and what that delay could really cost them. Brian shares the numbers behind associate versus owner earnings, why student loan debt shouldn't automatically keep dentists from ownership, and what the data actually says about the growth of DSOs. Brian also breaks down how to evaluate a dental practice before buying, including the two simple questions every potential buyer should ask. He explains why a cheaper practice isn't necessarily a better opportunity, how practice valuations work, and why paying above the national average can still be a smart investment. Plus, he shares what dentists who can't seem to find the "right" practice may be overlooking. What You'll Learn Why younger dentists are waiting longer to become practice owners How delaying ownership can affect your long-term earning potential Why student loan debt doesn't necessarily mean you should avoid ownership What the data says about DSOs and the future of private dental practices Why ownership gives dentists more control over their careers The two questions to ask before seriously considering a dental practice Why buying a small practice with plans to "turn it around" can be risky How dental practices are valued based on collections and profitability Why paying above the average valuation doesn't necessarily mean you're overpaying How relationships can help you uncover better practice acquisition opportunities Why dentists should be intentional about who they listen to for career advice — Key Takeaways 02:04 The Associate Trap: Why Waiting Too Long to Own Can Cost Dentists a Fortune 02:47 Meet Brian Hanks 03:17 Helping Dentists Become Practice Owners 04:35 Dr. Len's Journey From Associate to Owner 06:09 Why Younger Dentists Are Delaying Ownership 09:30 The Million-Dollar Cost of Waiting 12:35 Associate Comfort vs. Practice Ownership 13:15 Are DSOs Really Taking Over Dentistry? 17:25 What to Look for When Buying a Dental Practice 17:55 Two Questions Every Practice Buyer Should Ask 23:48 How Dental Practices Are Valued 27:20 When Paying More for a Practice Makes Sense  28:40 Why You Haven't Found the Right Practice Yet 32:50 Brian's Advice for Associate Dentists 33:55 Lightning Round 38:55 How to Connect With Brian Hanks    — Connect With Brian Website: Dental Buyer Advocates Email: brian@dentalbuyeradvocates.com Book: How to Buy a Dental Practice  Brian is also offering Raving Patients Podcast listeners a free 30-minute practice evaluation for dentists who are currently considering a practice purchase. — Learn proven dental marketing strategies and online reputation management techniques at DrLenTau.com.   This podcast is sponsored by Dental Intelligence.

CallRail has been a partner of the show for nearly five years, and about 95% of our Summit audience already uses it. So instead of another intro-level rundown, we brought on Chris Nelson from CallRail to go deeper into the newest integrations they've rolled out with Clio, Smokeball, Lawmatics, DocketWise, and Smart Advocate. We get into what these integrations actually do: automatic contact updates, AI voice assist that recognizes known callers and personalizes the conversation, whisper messages, and lead qualification. Plus, a philosophical detour on why "set it and forget it" doesn't work for AI receptionists any more than it works for a new hire. Gyi and Conrad also push on attribution: why over-crediting last-touch data makes your marketing look better (or worse) than it actually is, and where call data plus CRM integration closes that gap. Yes, it's a sponsor conversation. We're upfront about that. But if you're already a CallRail user and haven't peeled back the onion on what it can actually do, then it's worth a listen. Hey, you! Send us a question and we might just feature it on the show.  ⁠Ask us a question!⁠  The 2026 Lunch Hour Legal Marketing was such a success, we are already laying the groundwork for our 2027 event.

Spending more money on Google Ads does not automatically mean more new patients. In fact, what happens after someone clicks your ad may matter just as much as the campaign itself. In this episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, Dr. Len Tau sits down with Michael Lyjak, former Google trainer and founder of Efficiency Marketing, to break down what really drives PPC performance for dental practices. Having managed more than $16 million in dental advertising since 2019 and worked with over 100 practices, Michael explains why successful paid advertising goes far beyond choosing the right keywords and setting a budget. Michael shares how AI is changing Google Ads, why branded campaigns can actually help when structured correctly, and how reviews and a practice's overall digital footprint are becoming increasingly important to both paid and AI-driven search. He also explains quality score, budgeting based on market competition, and why Google leads typically cost more than Meta leads. But getting the lead is only half the battle. Michael and Dr. Len discuss one of the biggest places dental practices lose marketing dollars: poor lead handling. Missed calls, slow response times, weak follow-up, and a lack of conversion tracking can turn even a well-performing ad campaign into wasted money. Michael explains why practices need a strong feedback loop between their marketing and front desk if they want to know what's actually generating appointments and revenue.   What You'll Learn Why Google Ads are no longer just about keywords, bids, and budgets How AI and machine learning are changing PPC for dental practices Whether dentists should bid on their own branded keywords Why DIY Google Ads can cost practices more than they realize How Google reviews and your digital footprint can influence visibility Why smaller advertising budgets are becoming harder to compete with How to determine the right PPC budget based on your market and procedures Why missed calls and slow lead response can destroy your advertising ROI What Google Ads quality score means and how it affects your cost per click Why Google Ads cost more than Meta Ads and how patient intent changes lead quality How to track leads from click to booked appointment Why a strong feedback loop between your marketing team and dental practice matters How AI search could change the way prospective patients discover your practice — Key Takeaways 02:15 Beyond Keywords and Bids: What Really Drives PPC Results 03:48 Meet Michael Lyjak 04:40 From Google Trainer to Dental Marketing Expert 06:25 What Really Determines PPC Success? 08:25 Should You Bid on Your Own Practice Name? 10:20 How to Structure Branded Campaigns 12:45 Why DIY Google Ads Are So Difficult 15:09 How Reviews Impact Ad Performance 17:14 How AI Is Changing Search and PPC 19:53 How Much Should a Dental Practice Spend on Ads? 22:55 The Hidden Cost of Missed Calls 24:30 Understanding Google Ads Quality Score 26:40 How to Know If Your Ads Are Actually Working 27:58 Google Ads vs. Meta Ads 30:59 Why Leads Aren't Turning Into Appointments 34:25 Should Your Marketing Company Handle the Calls? 35:40 The One PPC Action Dentists Should Take Now 36:20 Connect With Michael and Get a Free PPC Audit — Connect With Michael Email: mike@makeitefficient.com Website: https://makeitefficient.com/ Michael is offering Raving Patients listeners a free PPC audit along with 10% off monthly management services.

She saw a problem in estate planning. So she built the solution. On the latest episode of The Lawyer Stories Podcast, Benny Gold sits down with Jennifer Chapkin, Esq., estate planning attorney and Co-Founder & CEO of Safe and Signed™, to talk about her Lawyer Story, entrepreneurship, and turning a problem she repeatedly encountered in her legal practice into a business. Jennifer loves being part of people's big moments - helping families and business owners make consequential decisions about their lives, property, businesses, and futures. But after years of practicing estate planning law, she kept seeing the same issue: after wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives and other important legal documents were signed, where would the originals actually go — and would the right people be able to find them years later when they were needed? That problem inspired Safe and Signed™, a professional custody service for signed original estate planning and other important legal documents. Originals are protected in an access-controlled, fire-safe, water-safe and climate-controlled facility, while authorized parties can securely access document information and scanned copies. Jennifer shares the moment the idea took hold, what it was like building a company in a category that didn't really exist, balancing entrepreneurship with practicing law, and what she has learned about taking an idea beyond the traditional law firm model.

Your practice can be producing plenty of dentistry and still be leaving a surprising amount of money on the table. In this episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, Dr. Len Tau sits down with Ori Bekerman, founder of Practice Alpha, to uncover one of the most overlooked revenue leaks in independent dental practices: the billing process. After building, operating, and selling a multi-location dental group himself, Ori saw firsthand how easily revenue can get stuck in aging claims, inaccurate patient estimates, denied claims, and overloaded front desk workflows. Ori breaks down the numbers every practice owner should be watching, including insurance and patient aging reports, collections, and claims over 90 days old. He explains why simply seeing claims go out and money come in doesn't mean your billing is healthy, and why accountability and consistent reporting are critical for identifying problems before they become expensive. Dr. Len and Ori also discuss why asking your front desk to handle phones, scheduling, patient checkout, and billing at the same time can create costly mistakes. Ori shares how practices can evaluate whether billing should stay in-house or be outsourced, why EFT payments can improve cash flow, and how better revenue cycle management can help independent dentists protect profitability without constantly chasing more new patients. What You'll Learn How to tell if your dental practice has a billing or collections problem The key insurance and patient aging numbers every practice owner should monitor Where revenue leakage can begin before treatment is even performed Why inaccurate insurance verification can lead to incorrect patient balances Why having your front desk handle billing along with multiple other responsibilities can put revenue at risk The importance of clean claim submission and proper documentation Why accountability and reporting matter just as much as sending claims The difference between flat-rate and percentage-based billing models Why EFT payments can improve security, organization, and cash flow Three questions to ask when deciding whether to keep billing in-house or outsource it How stronger revenue cycle management can help practices protect their bottom line — Key Takeaways 01:50 Your Front Desk Is Not Your Biller 03:12 Meet Ori Bekerman 04:50 The Hidden Cost of Bad Billing 06:50 Key Billing Benchmarks to Watch 10:45 How the Dental Revenue Cycle Works 13:25 Where Revenue Leakage Begins 15:18 Why Your Front Desk Shouldn't Do Everything 18:20 Flat-Rate vs. Percentage-Based Billing 21:51 Dental Billing Myths and Faster Payments 26:10 In-House vs. Outsourced Billing 31:45 Lightning Round 36:42 Connect With Ori and Free RCM Sanity Check — Connect With Ori Email: ori@practicealpha.io Website: practicealpha.io Ori is also offering Raving Patients listeners a free RCM sanity check checklist with guided instructions for reviewing billing and revenue cycle performance based on the practice's PMS.    — Learn proven dental marketing strategies and online reputation management techniques at DrLenTau.com.

AI is changing litigation - but is the defense bar keeping pace? On Episode 282 of The Lawyer Stories Podcast, Benny Gold sits down with Rob Martorana, Head of Partnerships at Theo Ai, for a fascinating conversation about artificial intelligence, litigation intelligence, case strategy, and the future of legal technology. Rob brings a unique perspective to the conversation. His career has taken him from serving as an Assistant District Attorney and practicing law to years in litigation finance and now the rapidly evolving world of legal AI. We discuss the technology and investment gap between the plaintiff and defense bars, why defense litigation has historically been difficult to standardize, and how AI can help legal teams better understand massive amounts of litigation data. Rob also shares his perspective on case valuation, settlement benchmarking, litigation finance, risk and exposure analysis, and how technology may change the way lawyers evaluate and manage cases.

We're heading back to Vista Consulting Team's "A Seat at the Table" event for one of the best conversations Conrad and Gyi had there, and it's been sitting in the vault for a reason. Josh Porte, Partner and M&A Attorney at Holland & Knight, joins the guys to break down the ethics and mechanics of MSO deals, and with private equity continuing to move into law firms, this one's more relevant now than when it was recorded. Josh co-leads Holland & Knight's legal services transactions team and works both sides of these deals, buyers and sellers. He breaks down Rule 5.4 and Rule 5.3, the two rules that actually shape how an MSO can be structured and how money is allowed to move between the MSO and the law firm; plus transfer pricing, AI-native law firm structures, rollover equity instead of non-competes, and how EBITDA multiples drive valuation. Whether or not you're interested in dancing with the PE people, Josh makes the case for running your firm as if it's always ready to be sold.

Marketing attribution is getting messier as AI changes how buyers discover, research, and evaluate brands. Emily Popson, SVP of Marketing at CallRail, explains how marketing leaders can connect their strategy to revenue even when traditional first-touch and last-touch attribution no longer tell the whole story. Lori Jones and Emily explore a hybrid approach to marketing attribution that combines software-based data with self-reported attribution, conversational intelligence, AI, and customer signals. The goal is not to find one perfect attribution tool. It is to build a clearer picture of the buying journey and show how the overall marketing strategy influences customers and revenue.And don't forget!

The biggest cybersecurity threat to your dental practice may not be a hacker trying to break through your firewall. It could be a vendor you already trust. In this episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, Dr. Len Tau sits down with Anthony Jurjevic, CISSP, founder and CEO of Techspedient, to uncover the cybersecurity risks many dental practices do not realize are already inside their networks. With more than 25 years in healthcare IT and cybersecurity, including over 15 years focused on dental technology, Anthony explains why vendor access, outdated credentials, shared passwords, and poorly managed remote access tools can leave practices vulnerable. Anthony explains how practice management companies, imaging vendors, billing services, patient communication platforms, phone systems, and other vendors may have ongoing access to a practice's network. The problem is not necessarily that these vendors are unsafe. It is that many practices do not know who still has access, how that access is being monitored, or what happens if a vendor's credentials are compromised. The conversation also tackles one of the biggest misconceptions in dental cybersecurity: being in the cloud does not automatically mean your practice is backed up or secure. Anthony shares how attackers can compromise a workstation, use saved credentials to access cloud-based patient information, and quietly steal data without encrypting an entire network. He explains why modern ransomware attacks increasingly focus on data theft and extortion, making traditional backups only one piece of a much larger security strategy. Dr. Len and Anthony also discuss HIPAA compliance, what happens after a ransomware attack, the importance of cyber insurance and forensic investigations, and the practical steps dentists can take right now to identify vulnerabilities. From auditing vendor access and removing former employees to testing backups, enabling multi-factor authentication, and conducting third-party cybersecurity assessments, this episode gives practice owners a practical look at protecting both their patients and their businesses. What You'll Learn Why trusted vendors can become one of your biggest cybersecurity vulnerabilities How unattended remote access can expose your dental practice Why being "in the cloud" does not automatically make your data safe How modern ransomware has shifted from encrypting data to stealing it Why backups cannot protect you once patient data has already been stolen What "HIPAA compliant" software really means for a dental practice What to do immediately after discovering a possible ransomware attack Why individual user accounts are safer than shared passwords How to audit vendor access, administrative permissions, and former employee accounts Why multi-factor authentication should be enabled wherever possible How penetration testing can reveal weaknesses before an attacker finds them — Key Takeaways 02:13 Your Vendors Have the Keys: The Cyber Risk Dental Practices Ignore 03:45 Meet Anthony Jurjevic 05:35 The Hidden Risk of Vendor Access 09:55 Why the Cloud Is Not a Backup 13:12 Ransomware, Data Theft, and Cyber Threats 17:57 What HIPAA Compliance Really Means 19:42 What Happens After a Ransomware Attack 24:54 Simple Ways to Protect Your Practice 26:20 The Danger of Shared Credentials 30:06 Testing Your Practice's Cybersecurity 32:15 Lightning Round 35:55 Connect With Anthony — Connect With Anthony Email: ajurjevic@techspedient.com Phone: 732-275-2708 Company: Techspedient - https://www.techspedient.com/ Anthony is also offering Raving Patients listeners a free simulated phishing attack for their practice.

What if one of the biggest growth opportunities in your dental practice isn't finding more new patients, but bringing back the patients you already have? In this episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, Dr. Len Tau sits down with Aman Garg, founder of 10X Dental, to talk about the hidden revenue sitting inside overdue and unscheduled hygiene lists. While many practices invest heavily in new patient acquisition, hundreds of existing patients may quietly fall out of their recall system simply because they are busy, don't respond to automated texts, or never get consistent follow-up. Aman explains how AI can help practices scale outbound recall without replacing the relationships patients have with the front desk, hygienists, and doctors. He shares data from 10X Dental's recall efforts, including a 16% average scheduling rate, an 85% attendance rate among scheduled patients, and an average of $450 in reactivation production per returning patient. Dr. Len and Aman also discuss why traditional recall systems often fall short, how practices can create a consistent recall strategy, the importance of confirmation sequences, and where AI fits into the patient experience. They also explore the limits of automation and why using AI effectively should feel like helping the patient rather than simply filling holes in the schedule. What You'll Learn Why overdue hygiene patients can be a major source of untapped revenue Why patients who haven't visited in 12, 18, or even 36 months may still consider your practice their dental home How AI can support outbound recall and patient reactivation The difference between inbound and outbound AI agents in dental practices Why automated texts alone may not be enough to bring patients back How consistent recall efforts can help reduce silent patient attrition What 10X Dental's recall and attendance data reveals about patient reactivation Why your confirmation sequence can have a major impact on show rates How AI can support your front desk without replacing the human relationships patients value How returning hygiene patients can lead to additional diagnosed treatment and production Practical ways to build a consistent recall program inside your practice Why too much automation can create "bot fatigue" and hurt the patient experience How to make AI-powered recall feel more personal, helpful, and patient-centered   — Key Takeaways 02:00 The Hidden Revenue Sitting in Your Recall List 03:50 The Current State of AI in Dentistry 06:35 Aman Garg's Journey Into Dentistry 09:02 Why Recall Is a Major Growth Opportunity 12:50 Practice Management Software Integrations 14:40 How AI-Powered Recall Works 18:29 Supporting the Front Desk With AI 21:30 The ROI of Patient Reactivation 23:23 Building a Better Recall System 32:27 Lightning Round Q&A 37:17 How to Connect With Aman Garg   — Connect With Aman Website: 10xdental.com https://www.10xdental.com/ Raving Patients Podcast listeners can mention Dr. Len Tau or the podcast to receive the special pilot offer of $200 for the first 30 days.   — Learn proven dental marketing strategies and online reputation management techniques at DrLenTau.com.

The 2026 Lunch Hour Legal Marketing Summit has come to an end, but boy, oh boy, did we capture some great questions in our live episode recording at the Acme Feed & Seed! To rub the FOMO in a little deeper for all those who skipped this year's event, we have a special taste of the energy and thought-provoking inquiries we discussed on stage in Nashville to a packed and sweaty group of lawyers and in-house marketers. Gyi and Conrad tackle the news events of the week before going straight to some heated (literally) Q&A with our guests. If you missed the event, the outpouring of photos and accolades on social media are fantastic, but they still don't quite capture the energy that we felt in that room with our special community. It was a magical week filled with mythical creatures and t-shirt cannon assaults. You just had to be there.   We want to give a special thank you to everyone who joined us in Nashville last week! We are truly grateful that you spent your time with us, and we hope you walked away feeling confident that you made the right choice in traveling to spend the week at the Gyi and Conrad show. Thank you to our incredible sponsors, without whom the event would not have been quite as successful: Juvo Leads, Lawmatics, CallRail, ALPS Lawyers' Insurance, and our newest addition the LHLM Sponsors, Eve!

What if the biggest thing holding your practice back isn't marketing or clinical skill, but the way you're thinking about growth? In this episode, Dr. Len Tau sits down with Eric Morin, founder of Tower Leadership, to explore what it really takes to transform a successful dental practice into a scalable business that creates freedom, profitability, and long-term wealth. If you've ever felt trapped in the dental chair or wondered how to build a practice that thrives without depending entirely on you, this conversation is packed with actionable insights.

What do the courtroom and Survivor have in common? More than you might think. The Lawyer Stories Podcast Episode 279 features Sydney Segal, public defender, former Division I athlete, and competitor on CBS Survivor 41 and MTV's The Challenge. Sydney's Lawyer Story is anything but conventional. From competing as a Division I runner at Columbia University to law school, reality television, and ultimately becoming a public defender, Sydney has built a life around competition, advocacy, and standing up for what she believes in. At the center of her legal career is a strong belief in due process, the presumption of innocence, and the fundamental goodness of people. We discuss why she chose public defense and what it means to advocate for people during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. We also talk about an innovative initiative Sydney helped create while working in Los Angeles after recognizing that some criminal defendants were missing court simply because they lacked reliable transportation. Sydney worked to establish a program with Uber providing ride vouchers to help defendants get to court—a creative solution designed to prevent a transportation problem from becoming another reason for someone to end up back in jail. Sydney also shares how growing up with a lawyer for a father influenced her path, and how the competitiveness and resilience she developed as an athlete—and later tested on Survivor and The Challenge—show up in her work as a lawyer today. Survivor. The Challenge. The courtroom. One incredible Lawyer Story.

Your practice management software holds plenty of data, but is it giving you the insights you actually need to grow? In this episode, Dr. Len Tau sits down with Vin Cardillo, founder of Pronto Dental, to discuss why tracking the right metrics matters more than simply collecting data. From profitability and benchmarking to missed phone calls and perio performance, Vin shares how dentists can make smarter decisions, improve accountability, and build more profitable practices by understanding the numbers behind their business. Vin shares how aggregating data from multiple systems including practice management, accounting, HR, reputation management, and phone systems creates a clearer picture of practice performance. He explains how benchmarking helps identify opportunities for improvement and why focusing on a handful of high-impact metrics can dramatically increase profitability. The conversation also explores common areas where practices lose revenue, including missed phone calls, low periodontal treatment rates, accounts receivable, and underutilized production capacity. Vin discusses the importance of accountability, consistent SOPs, reviewing monthly financials, and using data to build confidence as a business owner. Whether you're a solo practitioner or growing multiple locations, this episode offers practical insights to help you run a healthier, more profitable dental practice. What You'll Learn Why your practice management software alone isn't enough. The value of combining data from multiple systems into one dashboard. The benchmarks every dental practice should monitor. How missed phone calls and poor scheduling impact revenue. Why periodontal treatment rates are one of the biggest missed opportunities. The financial metrics every dentist should understand.

The Lawyer Stories Podcast Episode 277 features Tom Lenfestey, Attorney, CPA, Founder & CEO of The Law Practice Exchange, the national leader in law firm brokerage, valuation, succession planning, and legal M&A.

In this conversation, we discuss why lawyers wait too long to plan their exits, how to build a law firm with transferable value, the growing impact of private equity and alternative ownership structures, and the key strategies every firm owner should consider years before retirement.

This week, outside the box comes in two flavors: a lawyer in a Bigfoot costume, and a firm that killed its entire legacy media budget and never looked back  —--------- Angel Reyes runs a Texas PI firm spending $50 million a year on marketing. All of it digital, none of it billboards, none of it legacy media. He killed that spend back in 2018 and never looked back. His take: brand loyalty in personal injury is mostly a myth. Clients aren't shopping for a name they trust, they're picking whoever calls them back first.  Elliot Johnson runs that $50 million budget day to day, and his job is making sure the data underneath it can actually be trusted, with clean integrations, reliable reporting, and no leaks. He and Angel walk through cost per kept case versus cost per acquired case, why last-click attribution is a comfortable lie, and what happens when you try to model a customer journey that's more emotion than math. Plus, two weeks out from the Summit: a thank-you to LHLM Summit video partner Bluphyre Media, whose "Bigfoot Lawyer" campaign is proof that thinking outside the box doesn't have to mean spending outside your means. Sometimes it just means putting a lawyer in a Sasquatch costume.  -Want to hear more from our guests on this week's episode?

Your practice management software isn't the problem. More often than not, it's the workflows behind it. In this episode, Dr. Len Tau sits down with Jill Nesbitt, founder of Optimize Dental Consulting, to discuss how dental practices can maximize their technology, improve patient experience, and eliminate operational bottlenecks without constantly chasing the next software solution. Whether you're a solo practice or managing multiple locations, Jill shares why software adoption, team training, and standardized workflows have a greater impact than the software itself. They also explore common mistakes practices make during software transitions, why patient billing often creates the biggest frustrations, and how optimizing existing systems can improve efficiency, profitability, and patient satisfaction.     What You'll Learn Why workflow matters more than the software itself The biggest patient experience issues caused by poor system adoption Signs your practice has outgrown its current software How to successfully transition to cloud-based dental software The importance of team buy-in and change management Ways to maximize the technology you're already paying for How better workflows improve collections, operations, and patient satisfaction Why standard operating procedures (SOPs) are essential for software success Common mistakes practices make during implementation How multi-location practices can standardize operations without sacrificing efficiency — Key Takeaways 01:42 Stop Blaming the Software: Fixing the Workflows That Shape Patient Experience 03:16 Meet Jill Nesbitt and Optimize Dental Consulting 06:15 Why Most Practices Only Use a Fraction of Their Software 08:29 Choosing the Right Cloud-Based Practice Management System 12:30 How Software Directly Impacts Patient Experience 16:37 When It's Time to Switch Software 22:50 Unlocking Hidden Features and Workflow Automation 25:26 Training Your Team for Long-Term Success 28:34 Managing Change and Getting Team Buy-In 31:18 The First Step to Optimizing Your Current Software  34:58 Lightning Round with Jill Nesbitt 39:02 Final Thoughts and How to Connect with Jill   — Connect With Jill Website:https://www.optimizedent.com/  LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillnesbitt   — Learn proven dental marketing strategies and online reputation management techniques at DrLenTau.com.

Burnout has become one of the biggest challenges facing dentists today, but it doesn't have to define your career. In this episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, Dr. Len Tau sits down with returning guest Dr. Eric Block to discuss the realities of burnout, the hidden stressors dentists face, and the practical systems that can transform a chaotic practice into one that supports both professional success and personal well-being.

Most home service companies do not have a lead problem. They have a missed-call problem. In this episode of Service Business Mastery, Tersh Blissett and Joshua Crouch sit down with Chris Nelson, Senior Manager of Vertical Marketing at CallRail, to talk about why home service leads disappear, how missed calls turn into lost revenue, and what contractors can do to better understand what is happening inside their call flow. This conversation is not just about answering the phone faster. It is about understanding where your leads come from, how they move through your business, and where good opportunities get lost before they ever turn into booked jobs.

Chris Earley runs a mid-sized personal injury law firm with an out-sized impact in Boston, one of the biggest, most competitive legal markets around, without trying to out-spend the giants. His approach: go narrow instead of broad. He calls it the centipede method, and it's exactly what it sounds like: hyperlocal radio, community sponsorships, a name he's leaned into hard, and a brand built on being different rather than being the biggest. Conrad and Chris get into the tension between brand-building (the long game) and direct response (the "I need clients this month" game), why knowing your numbers matters more than knowing every marketing channel, and why Chris still runs PPC even with a strong brand. Plus: his favorite tools, and what it actually means to compete with yourself instead of everyone else.

In this episode of the Un-Billable Hour's Seat at the Table: Hiring is hard. It's harder if you don't know what you want, can't describe the position, and don't make an effort to attract the right candidates (and reduce the number of candidates you don't want) Develop an intentional, consistent plan for reviewing a candidate's credentials. That includes knowing the questions you want to ask – and don't want to ask – candidates and uncover a candidate's willingness to grow, learn, and adapt. Once you know what you want, be upfront about what you offer. Sharing the compensation package is becoming a must. Younger workers may pass if you're being too coy. Share what makes you special: Educational and travel opportunities? Paid bar dues? Bonuses? Time off? Culture? Transparency counts. If you've done well with your marketing and you've delighted clients who are happy to refer new clients, maybe it's time to hire some additional team members. Host Christopher T. Anderson brings in regular guest Rob Leitner along with HR and management pros Laytoamb Wiggins, Lori Brown-Simmons, and Jeff Levin for a seat at the table to discuss how to  approach the hiring process, and the pitfalls to avoid. Successful hiring starts before you post a help wanted sign. Start by understanding what you want. What does the perfect hire do? What outcomes do you need? If you don't know what you want, you won't get it. The best job postings attract candidates you want and weed out mediocre candidates. Don't waste your time or theirs. Once you've developed an intentional job description, make time during the interview to understand not only what the candidate already knows, but also the candidate's capacity to learn, grow, and adapt. Developed a “score sheet” that helps you accurately compare candidates consistently. Create an interview plan before you welcome the first candidate – and stick with it. What about signing bonuses, compensation (yes, be upfront), intangible benefits like flexible schedules and bonuses? These things matter, put them first in your posting. Hiring is tough, and failure comes with costs both financial and cultural. Hear how Christopher and the panel find ways to get the job of hiring for the job done right.  REFERENCES MENTIONED: “10 Best Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS) of 2025,” Wellness360 Clio ClioCon 2026, Oct. 26-27, 2026  Legal Talk Network Unbillable Hour Special thanks to our sponsors Wyzer Staffing and CallRail.

"The best estate plan is the one your family never has to fight over." The Lawyer Stories Podcast Episode 275 features Felicia Williams, Founder of Williams Law Firm in Palmdale, California. After serving as a Deputy District Attorney with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, Felicia launched her own practice focused on estate planning, probate, contracts, real estate, and criminal defense. Her mission is simple: help families protect what they've built and avoid the legal challenges that too often arise when proper planning is overlooked. In this conversation, we discuss why estate planning isn't just about wealth, the realities of probate, estate disputes families never see coming, selecting the right trustee, and why protecting your legacy starts long before it's ever needed. Felicia also shares her journey from prosecutor to law firm owner and why educating clients has become one of the most rewarding parts of her practice.

Most contractors want more leads, more booked calls, and more revenue. But if your sales process is inconsistent, more leads will only expose the problem faster. In this episode of Service Business Mastery, Tersh Blissett and Joshua Crouch sit down with Josh Martin, Director of Revenue Strategy at 3Four Labs, to talk about how service businesses can grow by building a stronger sales framework, improving technician coaching, and using AI-powered tools the right way. Josh explains why AI and automation are only useful when your company already knows what "good" looks like. If your technicians, comfort advisors, or salespeople do not have a clear framework, the software cannot magically make them better. It needs to understand the questions you want asked, the information you want collected, and the way your company expects customers to be served. The conversation also breaks down why recording field conversations should not be seen as "Big Brother," but as a coaching tool. Just like athletes watch game film, technicians and salespeople can use call and visit recordings to improve their communication, tone, positioning, and close rate. They also discuss: Why every growing company needs a repeatable sales framework How AI ride-along tools help coach technicians and salespeople Why technicians act differently when a manager is physically in the truck How recording customer conversations can help your team improve Why "sales" feels uncomfortable for many technicians The importance of teaching technical experts how to communicate value Why companies need clean data before they rely on AI How AI can create noise when it is used without a clear outcome Why automation must be monitored instead of set and forgotten How to avoid overwhelming your team when adopting new technology Why sales tools must be customized to your company's process How asking for the sale is often the missing step in the home If you are trying to grow your service business, improve close rates, coach your team better, or make AI useful instead of confusing, this episode gives you a practical look at how sales process and technique create scalable growth.

AI is changing dentistry faster than ever, but when it comes to marketing, not everything should be automated. In this episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, Dr. Len Tau sits down with Michael Myers, CEO of DelMain, to discuss how dental practices can use AI to attract more patients without losing the authenticity that builds trust.

Most contractors think they need more leads. But what if the real problem is that you're already missing the jobs you paid to generate? In this episode of Service Business Mastery, Tersh Blissett and Joshua Crouch sit down with Shaun Ritchey from Breezy to talk about Moneyball for home services and how contractors can use AI, better data, and smarter systems to uncover the jobs hiding inside their existing business. Just like Moneyball changed baseball by finding overlooked value in the data, this conversation shows how contractors can find overlooked revenue in missed calls, slow follow-up, poor booking processes, weak web conversion, and underused customer lists. Shaun explains why the biggest opportunity is not always spending more money on marketing. Sometimes the fastest path to growth is fixing the leaks already inside your sales funnel. They also discuss: How Moneyball applies to home service businesses Why contractors often lose the most money during their busiest seasons How missed calls create major revenue leaks Why speed-to-lead can make or break a booked job How AI agents help contractors answer more calls and book more jobs Why AI should support CSRs, not replace them How web visitors and younger homeowners are changing the booking process Why low-value tune-ups can block high-value replacement opportunities How call tracking, transfer rules, and better data improve lead handling Why AI needs training, monitoring, and human oversight How contractors can use AI to analyze pricing, inventory, and operations Why bad data creates bad AI output If you're spending more money on leads but still missing calls, losing web visitors, or struggling to understand where revenue is leaking, this episode will help you think differently about growth.

"Domestic abuse doesn't always look the way people think it does." The Lawyer Stories Podcast Episode 273 with Benny Gold features Amanda Lee, Founder & CEO of The Lee Consultants (TLC), former prosecutor, civil litigator, Special Assistant U.S. Attorney, and certified trauma-informed coach. For years, Amanda built a successful legal career while privately enduring an abusive marriage. Today, she has transformed that experience into a mission to help high-achieving professionals recognize abuse, reclaim their confidence, and safely move forward. Through The Lee Consultants, Amanda provides confidential coaching, workplace education, and trauma-informed support for professionals whose success often masks the challenges they're facing behind closed doors. In this conversation, we discuss Amanda's journey from prosecutor to entrepreneur, the misconceptions surrounding domestic abuse, why so many accomplished professionals suffer in silence, and how lawyers, leaders, and employers can better recognize and support those in need. This is a powerful conversation about resilience, healing, leadership, and using your own story to help others find theirs. This episode presented by CallRail.

Most service business owners are chasing the next lead source. Google Ads. Facebook Ads. AI. SEO. Automation. But sometimes the fastest way to grow is still the most old-school strategy in the book: getting out into your community, shaking hands, building trust, and making sure people remember your brand. In this episode of Service Business Mastery, Tersh Blissett and Joshua Crouch sit down with Chuck Worley, owner of Worley's Home Services, to talk about branding, networking, reputation, and the real-world grind behind building a service business people know, trust, and refer. Chuck shares his journey from struggling in school to building a career in HVAC sales, starting and losing a business, rebuilding from bankruptcy, paying back debts he was no longer legally required to pay, and eventually growing Worley's Home Services into a $17 million company. He also breaks down why branding is not just about a logo, why standing out matters, and how his orange and green jackets became a memorable part of his local brand. They also discuss: How Chuck went from HVAC technician to top-performing comfort advisor Why sales changed his life and gave him a path forward The painful lessons from bankruptcy and rebuilding from zero Why reputation matters more than almost anything in business How Chuck used networking to grow his company without relying only on digital marketing Why your brand needs to be memorable, even if people think it looks ridiculous How local chambers, BNI groups, and business events can generate real relationships Why referrals still matter in a world obsessed with AI and ads How Chuck used small acquisitions and owner financing to grow Why being the "power connector" in your market can create long-term growth How service business owners can start networking even if they feel uncomfortable If you are a service business owner who wants to build a brand people remember, generate more referrals, and grow through real relationships, this episode is a practical, no-BS playbook.

He also makes a surprisingly convincing case for why dropping the work-email requirement on your forms is a win and not a leak, with detours through LinkedIn GIFs, a Netflix rom-com, and a bestseller list nobody saw coming.ㅤBest Moments:(00:35) LinkedIn is rolling out GIFs in comments, and why that matters more than it sounds(02:45) The Claude Max buyer who expected 20X more usage and found he was getting closer to 6X(02:56) Why "am I actually getting the AI usage I'm paying for" is about to become a recurring legal fight(04:00) Year over year, 27% fewer companies are forcing a work email on their forms(04:54) The case for letting job seekers use a personal email, and why your brand wins when they get hired(08:16) "Stupider People Have Done It" lands at #87 on the USA Today list, with $130,000 raised for cancer research

Most contractors think branding is about logos, colors, and marketing. It's not. The strongest brands in the trades do something much more powerful: they attract great employees, create loyal customers, and make growth easier. In this episode of Service Business Mastery, Tersh Blissett and Joshua Crouch sit down with Levi Torres, founder of High 5 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric, to discuss how consistent branding became the foundation for one of Colorado's fastest-growing home service companies. What started as a simple idea—a high five at the end of every service call—evolved into a recognizable brand that helps attract top talent, improve retention, and create a culture employees are proud to be part of. Levi shares how High 5 uses social media, training systems, operational consistency, and employee development to build a company that technicians actively want to join. They discuss: • Why branding is a recruiting tool, not just a marketing tool • How company culture influences hiring success • The power of consistency in building trust • Why social media has become a recruiting engine • Creating clear career paths for technicians • Building training systems that support growth • How documentation makes scaling easier • Expanding into HVAC and electrical without losing culture • The role of AI in coaching and employee development • Why employee experience directly impacts customer experience If you're struggling to hire quality people, improve retention, or scale your service business, this episode will show you how a strong brand can solve more problems than you think.
