Podcasts about Case study

 In 2013, a runaway train with no crew, no lights, and 72 tank cars of crude oil tore into Lac Mégantic, Quebec — triggering Canada's deadliest modern rail disaster.At 1:14 a.m. on July 6th, 2013, a silent, unmanned train derailed on a curve in Lac Mégantic. The resulting firestorm — fueled by six million liters of volatile Bakken crude — leveled the downtown, claimed 47 lives, and left a permanent scar on the town and rail safety history.In this An Ounce disaster case study, we break down the chain of mechanical failures, human decisions, and systemic weaknesses that led to the catastrophe — and the lessons still unlearned.If you think the systems we rely on are fail safe, this story might change your mind.Watch more stories like this on An Ounce:[Insert URL to related episode — recommend Halifax Explosion once both are in the same playlist]If you value clear, honest storytelling about real disasters and the lessons they leave behind, like this video, subscribe to the channel, and share it with someone who thinks “it can't happen here.”#AnOunce #LacMegantic #TrainDisaster #DisasterCaseStudy #RailSafety #CanadaHistory________________________________________Chapters (Timestamps) 00:00 – The Ghost Train00:51 – Set-Up02:01 – The Spark03:56 – The Ghost Train Rolls in05:39 – The Response06:40 – Outcomes: The Cost07:16 – Outcomes: Lessons Learned08:02 – What We Missed?09:10 – An Ounce09:40 – Firefighting Chaos________________________________________Authoritative References with URLs1.

Alzheimer's is not inevitable—and it may even be optional. In this groundbreaking episode, you'll learn how to prevent, slow, and in some cases reverse cognitive decline using strategies that also enhance brain optimization, metabolism, and longevity. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey is joined by Dr. Dale Bredesen, a world-renowned neurologist and leading Alzheimer's researcher who has published over 240 peer-reviewed papers. Dr. Bredesen has spent decades proving that Alzheimer's is not a one-pathway disease but a network failure driven by inflammation, toxins, and mitochondrial dysfunction. His protocol has helped thousands of patients regain memory, extend healthspan, and reclaim brain performance. Together, they unpack how biohacking tools like fasting, ketosis, supplements, sleep optimization, cold therapy, and functional medicine can rewire neuroplasticity, protect mitochondria, and keep the brain in “connection mode” instead of decline. You'll hear why the pharmaceutical industry resists these solutions, how toxins like Paraquat and mold fuel cognitive decline, and what young people can do right now to bulletproof their brains for life. This episode is essential listening if you care about hacking human performance, upgrading metabolism, or extending longevity. You'll walk away with practical strategies you can use today—whether that means optimizing your mitochondria with nootropics, strengthening resilience with smarter not harder recovery, or fueling your brain with Danger Coffee. You'll Learn: • Why Alzheimer's can begin as early as your 20s and what biomarkers to track • The seven major drivers of Alzheimer's and how to reverse them with biohacking strategies • How APOE4 genetics, toxins, and inflammation accelerate brain aging—and what to do about it • The role of mitochondria, ketosis, and fasting in restoring brain optimization and neuroplasticity • Why prevention is exponentially easier than reversal and the top three actions you should start in your 20s • How to avoid “learned helplessness” in medicine and reclaim control over your brain span and longevity Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade is the top podcast for people who want to take control of their biology, extend their longevity, and optimize every system in the body and mind. Each episode features cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, hacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living. Episodes are released every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (audio-only) where Dave asks the questions no one else dares, and brings you real tools to become more resilient, aware, and high performing.

Interviewees: Emily Green, MD and Kelley Volpe, MD Interviewer: Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA Description: In Episode 113, Dr. Lisa Meeks talks with Dr. Emily Green (child psychiatrist, University of Chicago; recent fellow at UIC) and Dr. Kelley Volpe (training director of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship at UIC) about navigating fellowship with ADHD and a learning disability—and how openness, advocacy, and leadership support shaped a successful training experience. Together, they trace Emily's decision-making during the match, the challenges of transitioning from residency to fellowship (and from student to employee), and the unexpected barriers in GME accommodation processes. They unpack how program leadership stepped in when paperwork stalled, why “temporary vs. chronic” misunderstandings of disability remain a problem, and how centering inclusion ultimately benefited both the trainee and the program. Listeners will hear advice for residents and fellows (be specific in accommodation requests, know when disclosure matters, embrace authenticity with patients) and for program directors (be proactive with GME, advocate beyond bureaucracy, and create space for trainees to bring their whole selves to medicine). This episode accompanies the open-access case study From Policy to Practice: Building the Disability Inclusion Infrastructure in Graduate Medical Education (Green & Volpe, Academic Medicine, 2025). Part of the ACGME/DWDI Disability Resource Hub, supported by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation Catalyst Award, it's both a roadmap and a reminder that when programs invest in access, everyone wins.

“Rules written in a panic rarely stand the test of time.”   In this encore episode, Trace Blackmore welcomes back Patsy Root, Senior Manager of Government Affairs at IDEXX Water and active member of the AWT Legislative and Regulatory Committee. Patsy brings global data, case studies, and clear recommendations for smarter Legionella regulation — and why a targeted focus on Legionella pneumophila can save both lives and resources.   From Outbreaks to Proactive Policies  Patsy unpacks a central truth: most regulations emerge reactively, often after a high-profile outbreak. Drawing on her research from the U.S., Canada, and Europe, she compares different jurisdictions' approaches — from Quebec's targeted testing mandate to New York City's broader species-based rule — and reveals why some frameworks reduce cases far more effectively than others.  The Case for Targeted Testing  Legionella encompasses around 60 species, but not all carry equal risk. Patsy explains why L. pneumophila — the species most responsible for Legionnaires' disease — demands priority in monitoring and control. Through examples from France, Germany, the UK, and beyond, she demonstrates how focusing on the pathogen itself, rather than all species, leads to measurable public health gains and cost savings.  Educating Lawmakers and Industry  Beyond technical data, Patsy emphasizes the importance of water professionals engaging with legislators. She outlines how clear communication, evidence-based recommendations, and standards like ASHRAE 188 can guide practical, enforceable rules. Her advice balances science with real-world feasibility, helping both regulators and facility managers protect health without unnecessary expense.  This conversation is more than a policy discussion — it's a blueprint for better public health protection through smart, focused water management. Whether you work in compliance, operations, or advocacy, Patsy's insights will equip you to engage in the legislative process with clarity and authority.

Interviewees: Josh Schammel, MD; Brian Inouye, MD; and Becky Stetzer, MD Interviewer: Justin Bullock, MD, MPH Description: In this episode, Dr. Justin Bullock talks with Dr. Josh Schammel (chief urology resident at Albany Medical Center), Dr. Brian Inouye (associate program director of urology at Albany Med), and Dr. Becky Stetzer (assistant dean of competency development, Albany Med) about navigating remediation, cognitive disability support, and institutional change in residency training. Together, they trace Josh's experience entering urology residency off-cycle, the social and educational challenges that followed, and the turning point that came with honest conversations about expectations and support. They explore how leadership reframed remediation from punitive to restorative, how program culture embraced accommodations even without a formal diagnosis, and how outside expertise in competency development reshaped both Josh's trajectory and the program's systems. Listeners will hear candid reflections on the fear of dismissal, the relief of being given a “do-over” year, and the powerful role of trust and transparency in rebuilding confidence. The team highlights the importance of creating a culture where struggling is not synonymous with failure, but with an opportunity for growth. This episode accompanies the open-access article A Master Adaptive Learner Approach to Cognitive Disability Support in a U.S. Urology Residency (Stetzer et al., Teaching and Learning in Medicine). Part of the ACGME/DWDI Disability Resource Hub, supported by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation Catalyst Award, it's a practical and deeply human guide for residents, faculty, and program leaders working to build equitable clinical learning environments.

A Digital Course, an AI Bot, and a Smart Two-Offer Strategy That Works If you've been wondering how AI can create true opportunity in your business, this episode is worth the 36 minutes. I'm chatting with Becca Harpain, a Digital Course Academy student who didn't just create a successful digital course, she took things to the next level by launching a custom GPT that serves a different audience and brings in an additional stream of revenue. What I love most about Becca's story is that she didn't overthink it. She got scrappy, listened to her audience, and built something that aligned with her zone of genius. Her AI tool, Custom Codey, isn't replacing her. It's amplifying her voice, supporting her audience while she prepares for maternity leave, and keeping her business moving even when she steps away. If you're building a course or already have one, and you're curious about how AI can elevate your offer, this episode is for you. Becca is an amazing example of what's possible when you think creatively, take action, and serve your audience in new ways. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ You don't need to bundle everything into one offer – Becca's offers serve two different audiences. She listened to what people actually needed and met them where they were. 2️⃣ AI can sound like you… when you teach it to – Becca trained her custom GPT with her course content, proprietary processes, and point of view so it delivers answers just like she would. 3️⃣ Done is better than perfect – She launched her AI tool using a Notion page and a buy link, proving you don't need fancy tech to start. You just need a clear idea and the willingness to get it out there. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: What's standing between you and your next $100k?

Over the past 19 years, I've studied the astrology of thousands of successful people and found patterns you can apply to your own life. In this episode of Quietmind Astrology, I'm breaking down 10 signs of massive wealth in the birth chart, using the case study of Alex Hormozi—who just had a $100 million book launch this past week.We often look at transits or dashas for timing, but in Alex's case, what stands out are the innate qualities in his chart that he's harnessed through discipline and work. These same qualities may be in your chart as well, and today I'll show you how to recognize and apply them.We don't have his exact birth time, but we know his Moon is in Libra, possibly Chitra nakshatra. Using his Moon chart, we see a striking pattern: an overloaded Upachaya house structure—the 3rd, 6th, 10th, and 11th houses. These houses get stronger with time, and planets placed here bring compounding gains. Alex has multiple placements in these houses, showing why his success has scaled.For example, Saturn in the 3rd gives discipline in communication and marketing. Mars in the 6th points to athleticism and relentless daily effort. His 11th house is stacked with Sun, Mercury, and Ketu, making him a community leader, a powerful communicator, and surprisingly detached from money—a classic Ketu-in-11th trait.Another wealth sign is the fifth–ninth house connection. Rahu in the 5th aspects Venus in the 9th, fueling creativity, content, and teaching—exactly what he's built his empire on. Venus in a dharma house (the 9th) brings prosperity through education and sharing wisdom. Combined with Rahu's drive, this creates an unstoppable force for growth and wealth.Alex's Atmakaraka is Mars in Revati, in the 6th house. This shows his soul's path is about discipline, service, and daily effort. It's why so much of his work emphasizes free value and helping others. His Sun as Darakaraka in the 11th highlights the pivotal role of his wife, Layla, who amplifies his leadership and legacy building.What does this mean for you? If you see similar patterns—like strong Upachaya houses, dhana yogas (2 and 11, or 5 and 9 connections), Venus in a dharma house, Rahu in 5 or 11, or your Atmakaraka in 6, 10, or 11—it shows innate wealth potential. These aren't just about luck; they're qualities you can harness through effort, systems, and awareness.This episode isn't just about Alex's chart—it's about how you can decode your own chart to find your gifts for wealth, career, and success. Whether or not you want to make millions, these placements show where effort compounds, how prosperity grows, and how to align with your strengths.By the end of this episode, you'll understand:– Why Upachaya houses (3, 6, 10, 11) are critical for wealth building– How a strong 11th house brings gains through networks and community– Why Venus in dharma houses often shows prosperity through teaching– How Rahu and Ketu placements shape wealth, detachment, and luck– What Atmakaraka in the 6th, 10th, or 11th reveals about your soul's path to successYour chart has wealth indicators too—it's just about learning how to see and apply them.Free Vedic Birth Chart & 15 Minute Workshop To Decode Your Big 3:⁠ http://www.quietmindastrology.com/big3Instagram:⁠ http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrologyYouTube:⁠ http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtubeMentorship:⁠ http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorshipYoga Teacher Training Podcast: https://www.anchor.fm/yogateachertrainingQuietmind Yoga: https://www.quietmind.yogaKeywords: nakshatras, grahas, rashi, bhavas, jyotish, yoga, doshas, kundali, transits, retrograde, aspects, dasha system, remedies, mantras, shani, chani, chandra, mangala, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn

Whether you've had one day that changed your life forever - or a series of events that shifted your understanding of yourself and the world - or a culmination of hard-won lessons from work and life, you have a story worth sharing. This is something I emphasize often, because so many women tell me, “I don't really have a story. Nothing big has happened to me.” What matters isn't the size of your story, but how you tell it and what lessons you offer your audience. In this episode of the Speaking Your Brand podcast, I talk with Karen Keene, a graduate of our Thought Leader Academy, whose life was forever altered after surviving a violent home invasion. Karen's journey of healing - through 26 surgeries, unimaginable loss, and the courage to rebuild - has become the foundation for a keynote talk that inspires audiences to face adversity with resilience and purpose. But this conversation isn't only about Karen's story. It's about: Why your story can be just as powerful, even if you haven't faced extreme trauma How to uncover the universal lessons in your story that speak to anyone in your audience The importance of moving from “sharing what happened” to “showing what's possible” Karen's M.A.P. framework and how it turns inspiration into action The transformation that happens for you when you tell your story with intention   If you've ever wondered whether your story is “enough” to share or how to use it to truly serve your audience, this episode will give you both the confidence and the tools to do it. This conversation originally aired as episode 337 on July 10, 2023.

  Interviewees: Tom Pisano, MD PhD and Laura Ashley Stein, MD, MS, Ed. Interviewer: Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA Description: In Episode 111, Dr. Lisa Meeks talks with Dr. Tom Pisano (former Penn neurology resident; now neuro-hospital medicine and neuro-immunology fellow) and Dr. Laura Stein (Adult Neurology Program Director at Penn) about building an accessible neurology residency for a physician who uses a wheelchair—and how trust, planning, and culture made it work. Together, they trace Tom's match-day disclosure strategy and “find-your-people” approach, an accessibility walk-through with tape measures and ADA checks, and the practical creativity of equivalent rotations when sites differ in accessibility. They also unpack a real barrier—a security policy that blocked ED entry during stroke alerts—and how reframing access as patient safety moved the system. Listeners will hear candid advice for residents (hold onto your “why,” communicate early, invite teaching adaptations) and for program directors (start with goals, not habits; assume success; apply the same creativity you offer patients to your trainees). This episode accompanies a written case study and a Mini Grand Rounds conversation in Learn at ACGME. Part of the ACGME/DWDI Disability Resource Hub, supported by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation Catalyst Award, it's a practical guide for PDs, residents, and anyone committed to equitable clinical training.   Transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xB_Cp8EiekJ9ExUZLP61EvE-0y4HUv22LuRp0D6uNB0/edit?usp=sharing Key words: Medical education, physical disability, disability research, residency, accommodations, wheelchair, SCI, medical technology, residency, neurology, program director, GME, GME Policy Bio: Laura Stein I have been involved in the Neurology Residency Program since 2018, and Director of the program since 2024.

In Episode 221 of Manufacturing Hub, hosts Vlad Romanov and Dave Griffith sit down without a guest to share valuable real-world lessons on data collection, manufacturing intelligence, and implementing solutions that deliver measurable ROI. This episode wraps up the month's theme on manufacturing intelligence by tying together the insights from previous episodes and putting them into the context of real plant-floor projects.Vlad begins with an in-depth story from his time at Procter & Gamble, where he led an energy monitoring project with the ambitious goal of reducing power consumption by 20 percent. He explains the practical challenges of turning a corporate initiative into an actionable plant-level strategy, from limited baseline data to deciding between standalone meters and integrated monitoring solutions. Vlad shares the lessons learned in balancing cost, data ownership, and scalability, and why a more open solution can sometimes offer greater long-term value than proprietary systems.Dave then takes us into the world of pet food manufacturing, where millions of dollars in raw materials can be lost each year due to inaccurate batching and poor measurement practices. He walks through the process of defining the problem, setting up data collection without overhauling legacy systems, and using that information to identify overages, improve tolerances, and design remediation strategies. The conversation dives into practical engineering decisions, such as when to invest in VFDs for precision dosing, when to redesign process equipment, and how to ensure data insights lead to lasting operational changes.The discussion expands into organizational challenges, including why decision-makers often lack actionable visibility into losses, how to present findings in terms of tangible business impact, and the cultural shift required to actually use the data once it is available. Vlad and Dave also explore examples from discrete manufacturing, where OEE tracking and daily direction setting (DDS) meetings help guide capital allocation, continuous improvement initiatives, and team alignment. They share observations on why some facilities succeed with these systems while others fall back into old habits.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Episode 221 and monthly theme recap02:00 Vlad's background and approach to modernization projects04:50 Dave's background and focus on data-driven manufacturing solutions06:30 Recap of previous episodes on data collection, historians, and MTP/MCP07:30 Vlad's Procter & Gamble energy monitoring project case study13:40 Addressing power blips, capacitor banks, and ROI considerations19:10 Choosing between proprietary and open monitoring solutions23:40 Dave's pet food manufacturing story and raw material variance29:50 Methods for data collection without disrupting legacy systems34:20 Improving accuracy, process changes, and remediation strategies44:00 Organizational challenges in acting on data insights52:00 OEE, DDS meetings, and capital allocation in discrete manufacturing59:50 Predictions for the future of manufacturing intelligence and AI integrationReferences MentionedIgnition by Inductive Automation – https://inductiveautomation.com/Ignition Community Conference (ICC) – https://icc.inductiveautomation.com/Procter & Gamble – https://us.pg.com/Rockwell Automation – https://www.rockwellautomation.com/Mettler Toledo – https://www.mt.com/Badwater Ultramarathon – https://www.badwater.com/“Can't Hurt Me” by David Goggins – https://davidgoggins.com/book/About the HostsVlad Romanov works with manufacturers to modernize operations by bridging the gap between legacy systems and today's technology.

Last week, I discussed how Keen Wealth's comprehensive planning process might assess a multi-million-dollar nest egg. I think these hypotheticals, including some back-of-the-napkin math, are useful in illustrating how retirement planning can work, and also the limits of focusing exclusively on your numbers.  However, in the Keen Wealth offices, we don't work with hypotheticals. We work with real people, their real savings, their hopes, dreams, worries, and goals for the future. Every day, we help hardworking folks navigate complex financial issues that touch every part of their lives. We're honored that our clients have entrusted us with the responsibility of managing assets they've spent decades earning, and we want them to feel confident about their path to retirement.  On today's show, we explore the Keen Wealth Advantage in action as we help a couple answer one of life's most important questions: Can we retire?

In this engaging conversation, Jennifer and Mike Carunchio delve into the world of podcasting, particularly within the EMS community. Mike shares his journey from being a paramedic to starting 'The Okayest Medic Podcast,' discussing the challenges and rewards of creating educational content. They explore the importance of real-life case studies, the ethical considerations of sharing patient information, and the impact of social media on the profession. Mike also reflects on the risks of sharing opinions in a public forum and the balance between monetization and maintaining authenticity in podcasting. The discussion highlights the significance of networking, time management, and the evolving landscape of EMS education.  

In this second part of the podcast, Michael Barnard pursues his conversation Paul Martin and Emiel van Druten with explores emerging insights into the Netherlands' energy transition, addressing core assumptions around efficiency, hydrogen usage, and electrification.Building efficiency upgrades yield disappointing returns, with gas consumption often rebounding within 2-4 years post-renovation, limiting achievable reductions to about 50%. The recommended solution is a clear shift toward electrification-first strategies, emphasizing cost-effective insulation to properly size heat pumps, a strategy supported by Heat Geeks' methodology and monitored at heatmonitor.org.Tata Steel's ambitious hydrogen-based direct reduction of iron (DRI) plans illustrate the industrial challenge. The strategy begins with natural gas DRI combined with carbon capture by 2025, transitioning fully to green hydrogen by 2040. However, declining global steel demand, driven by China's reduced infrastructure spending and a shift to scrap-based electric arc furnace production, calls into question the economic viability of domestic hydrogen-based steelmaking. A preferred interim solution involves biogenic methane with CCS, progressing eventually to importing green iron pellets for local processing.Contrary to broader industry forecasts, Dutch hydrogen demand may collapse by as much as 80% by 2050, drastically reducing electrolysis capacity requirements from over 30 GW to around 3 GW, reserved primarily for refineries and biorefineries. This scenario eliminates hydrogen from previously expected uses, such as ammonia production, transportation, steelmaking, and electricity backup generation.Methanol emerges surprisingly as a preferred shipping fuel, surpassing ammonia due to safety advantages and ease of biological sourcing. In aviation, hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) derived from waste oils becomes the preferred fuel, driven by its simpler conversion process, though competition for limited feedstocks will favor aviation, pushing shipping toward methanol. Electrification projections for short-sea shipping and inland waterways see significant upward revisions, with long-haul shipping partially electrified due to soaring alternative fuel costs.Transportation electrification accelerates, with full truck electrification anticipated by 2035, eliminating earlier expectations for hydrogen trucks. Industry expert Johnny Ninehuis predicts no diesel trucks sold beyond that point, emphasizing battery technology overcoming heavy transport challenges.The chemical industry faces transformation, with methanol production pathways favoring gasification of waste plastics and biomass, particularly for chemical feedstocks and fuel applications. A smaller, cleaner petrochemical sector will remain viable, shifting to low-sulfur crude and significantly cutting hydrogen demand.System-wide rebalancing adjusts electricity demand growth forecasts downward from a previously projected fivefold increase to approximately 3.5 to 4 times current consumption. This adjustment significantly reduces offshore wind expansion targets, eliminating expensive distant and deep-water installations. Nuclear power is also excluded as non-economic, positioning the Netherlands as a future electricity exporter to neighboring markets, notably southern Germany. Direct air capture and synthetic fuel production are considered economically impractical within the Netherlands, and the fertilizer sector is projected to shift towards ammonia imports as local production becomes increasingly uneconomic. Highlighting broader electrification trends, Fortescue's recent $3 billion investment in electrified mining equipment illustrates a growing momentum towards electrification even in challenging, heavy industrial sectors.

Many people assume that gut problems always show up as bloating, pain, or digestive distress — but that's far from the truth. In this episode, Tara explains why everyone who cares about their long-term health and longevity should be paying attention to their gut… even if they think their digestion is just fine. From fatigue and brain fog to anxiety, weight gain, autoimmune issues, and even fertility challenges — the gut often plays a bigger role than you might realize. Tara shares a real-life client case: a woman with zero gut symptoms whose stool test revealed significant bacterial imbalances that were quietly driving inflammation and impacting her health. You'll learn why markers like LPS (lipopolysaccharides) and butyrate are so important, how they connect to inflammation throughout the body, and why a truly comprehensive stool test is non-negotiable if you want real answers. Tara also explains why not all tests — and not all practitioners — are created equal, and how to ensure you're working with someone who understands the full complexity of the microbiome. Whether you're chasing down stubborn symptoms or simply want to stay vibrant and healthy for years to come, this episode will inspire you to make your gut a top priority. Tara explains that: Comprehensive stool testing is essential for everyone, not just those with digestive symptoms. This helps identify issues that may be quietly driving systemic inflammation. Markers like LPS (lipopolysaccharides) and butyrate on stool tests provide vital insights into the inflammatory state of your gut—and, by extension, your whole body. If your test doesn't measure these, you're missing valuable information. Imbalances (dysbiosis) can exist without gut symptoms and still drive conditions like fatigue, autoimmunity, and infertility. Understanding your unique microbiome can be truly game-changing for your health path.

Can you apply the Dahl technique to localised POSTERIOR wear? Spoiler alert: hell yeah! How can the Dahl Technique help when there is posterior wear and NO space to restore? How predictable is building up posterior teeth (rather than the usual worn anteriors)? In this episode, Jaz dives into the ‘Reverse Dahl Technique', a twist on the classic method typically used for localized anterior wear. Dr. Hans Kristian Ognedal from Norway shares his insights, explaining how building up posterior teeth with composite can lead to occlusion magic!  If you're curious about this technique and want to see a real-life case study, this episode breaks it all down, with a special visual breakdown for those watching on YouTube or Protrusive Guidance. https://youtu.be/V8MTFfXmdlw Watch PDP235 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Jaz shares insights from Hold On to Your Kids by Dr. Gordon Neufeld & Dr. Gabor Maté, emphasizing how modern children lose parental attachment too soon, turning to peers for guidance. This shift can lead to anxiety and emotional disconnection.  Takeaway: Kids thrive when their primary attachment remains with parents, not peers. Strengthening this bond is crucial for healthy development.  Key Takeaways The traditional Dahl principle focuses on creating occlusal space for anterior crowns. The reverse Dahl technique is a direct method for treating worn POSTERIOR teeth. Diet plays a significant role in tooth wear and dental health. Taking photographs of patients' teeth can help track wear over time. Understanding the etiology of tooth wear is crucial for effective treatment. Building up dental anatomy is essential for successful restorations. Occlusion should be viewed as a dynamic system rather than a static one.  Patients can adapt well to this treatment modality “Patients that wear their teeth, they don't usually have TMJ problems.” Highlights of this episode: 02:22  Protrusive Dental Pearl 04:50 Guest Introduction: Dr. Hans Kristian Ognedal 07:06 Understanding the Original Dahl Concept 09:31 Exploring Reverse Dahl Technique 13:30 Etiology and Patterns of Tooth Wear 23:46 Facial Patterns and Occlusal Traits Linked to Wear 24:44 Clinical Approach to Posterior Wear 30:26 Patient Comfort and Staging Treatments 32:11 Cuspal Planes and Guidance 34:21 Review Schedule and Observations 38:44 Longevity of Treatments 44:04 Contraindications and Patient Selection  45:24 Case Studies and Practical Tips 49:30 Night Guard Use 53:06 Final Thoughts and Education Opportunities If you want to learn more about Dahl Technique, be sure to listen/watch: Why do some Dentists find Dahl Distasteful? – PDP016 Dahl Part 2 (The Spicy Bit) – PDP017 Dahl Technique and ‘Maryland Bridges' – GF001 This episode is eligible for 1 CE credit via the quiz on Protrusive Guidance.

Do you ever feel like you're stuck in the "expert trap" - sharing lots of great information, but not quite connecting with your audience the way you want to? In this episode, I talk with Dr. Teri DeLucca, founder of Impact Early Education and a graduate of our Thought Leader Academy, about how she made the bold leap from academic researcher and fact-based presenter to transformational speaker and sought-after thought leader. Teri has not one, but TWO PhDs (yes, you read that right!), and like many high-achieving women, she found comfort in data and research. But as she began training preschool teachers and school leaders, she realized that just presenting facts wasn't creating the impact she truly wanted. In our conversation, Teri shares: What led her to start her own business and step into entrepreneurship The power of personal storytelling in leadership and speaking How embracing vulnerability changed everything for her and her audiences Her transformation through the Thought Leader Academy and how it impacted her signature talk Her behind-the-scenes prep for a major international keynote (and why she called me in for a VIP Day!) Why it's not only okay, but essential, to share your personal challenges as a speaker and leader   If you've ever worried that being real with your audience might hurt your credibility, you need to hear what Teri says about the moment she realized not sharing her struggles was actually holding her back. Teri's story is proof that when you let go of perfection and speak from a place of truth, that's when real transformation happens—for you and the people you're meant to reach. This conversation originally aired as episode 338 on July 17, 2023. Links: Show notes: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/escape-expert-trap/ Learn more about Teri's work at ImpactEarlyEd.com.

We ❤️ Case Studies! Nurse practitioner and mom of three, Lisa, opens up and shares what's in her wallet, and her heart. In this episode we dive into her fascinating late-starter story and financials. She was also this year's brave Case Study at the EconoMe conference and revealed all her numbers in front of a live audience to get crowd-sourced feedback in real time. What transpired afterwards was powerful- she quit her day job and handed in her clinical badge to enjoy a sabbatical she had been longing for! With a little help from some Boldin financial modeling and a Nectarine hourly planner, she made the leap and takes us through exactly how she did it.    ===    VOTE FOR US: PLUTUS AWARDS  === We need your vote for the 2025 Plutus Awards!
