Our lives are shaped by our families. Not just our habits, family recipes, and noses – our stories, too. You probably know stories about your great-grandparents, great-great-grandparents, or, if you're really into Ancestry.com, as far back as five hundred years ago. You might know the names, professions, quirks, and life stories of people who could have literally never imagined your existence, and you carry those things with you. For some people, these family legends are a point of pride. It was for Ka Vang, too. She held tight to the heroic story of her father, Ying Vang, slipping away from the communist labor camp where he had been placed after being kidnapped in Laos, accompanied by an Australian pilot. But the real story? It doesn't quite live up to the myth Ka knows. And now, as she's preparing to pass on her family's history to her children, she reflects on her own.

Hidden tax leaks and underutilized strategies quietly drain the profits of otherwise healthy companies. Today's guest, Ralph B. Watkins went from losing a $10 million real estate empire to helping mid-sized businesses uncover “money hiding in plain sight” using a powerful, tax-advantaged benefits structure called the FICA Flip. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Ralph breaks down how companies with at least 10 full-time W-2 employees can implement a self-insured medical expense reimbursement plan (SIMERP) that effectively lets them get paid to offer world-class health benefits. Instead of sending all those FICA dollars straight to the IRS, businesses can legally redirect a portion back into their own bottom line, typically around $640 per employee per year in employer savings, while also putting roughly $100 more per month into employees' take-home pay. Ralph explains how this SIMERP structure layers on top of existing health benefits without replacing them, giving employees access to a robust suite of virtual primary care, urgent care, mental health counseling, financial counseling, and a zero-deductible pharmacy with 1,000+ medications at no cost, covering the employee plus up to five family members, 24/7. He shares why enrollment and retention rates are so high, and why the most common objection he hears is simply that it “sounds too good to be true.” Beyond the financial strategy, Ralph walks through how he's using AI daily to find opportunities, design outreach, and scale his impact, leveraging tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Lemlist, webinars, and local business/service groups (Rotary, chambers, etc.) to get this message in front of decision makers. He shows how AI-powered prospecting, smart drip campaigns, and speaking to rooms instead of just individuals can rapidly compound recurring, per-employee revenue for marketers and advisors who partner on this model. https://youtu.be/4rfHdoBTC6Q?si=5veFPiYu61-4ehmR Underneath the tactics is Ralph's deeper philosophy: authenticity, resilience, and service first. Drawing from his heart attack scare, major financial losses, and the lessons that led to his book “10 Habits of Shit Creek Survivors,” he encourages entrepreneurs to see life and business as a series of experiments, to be kinder to themselves, and to focus on genuinely helping others win. If you're a business owner, advisor, or marketer looking for a real, compliant way to boost cash flow, improve benefits, and build residual income, while using AI as a force multiplier, this episode with Ralph Watkins is packed with ideas you can put to work right away. Quotes: “The future belongs not to the people whose jobs are displaced by AI, but to the ones who grab onto it and learn how to use it to get more done.” “There is no success, there is no failure; we live in a lab. Every day we're running experiments and simply getting results.” “When your biggest objection is ‘this sounds too good to be true,' that's an objection I like dealing with.” Contact Details: Start Your FICA Flip Journey Today Ready to Earn Dual Commissions?

Success isn't measured by what you build—it's measured by what you do with what God has entrusted to you.In this inspiring conversation, John Martin sits down with entrepreneur and ministry leader Ben Clark to share a story of perseverance, faith, and using business as a platform to impact lives around the world.Ben is the owner of B-Unlimited, a successful licensed collegiate apparel company, but his journey to entrepreneurship was anything but easy.Growing up, Ben struggled with dyslexia, ADHD, learning disabilities, and a poor self-image. School was incredibly difficult, and he often felt like the underdog. He experienced failure after failure and never imagined the path God had planned for him.Instead of allowing those struggles to define him, God used them to build resilience, character, and dependence on Him.Starting with almost nothing, Ben slowly built his business from the ground up. Every dollar he earned went back into growing the company. There were no shortcuts, no wealthy investors, and no overnight success—just years of perseverance, hard work, and trusting God through every setback.But after experiencing business success, God began stirring Ben's heart for something greater.Following a mission trip to Uganda through his church, Ben recognized that many aspiring entrepreneurs had incredible ideas but lacked mentorship and guidance. Rather than simply giving financial assistance, God inspired him to help equip business leaders with wisdom, encouragement, and practical tools for success.That vision became Bold Creators.Today, Bold Creators connects experienced business leaders with entrepreneurs in Uganda, helping them build sustainable businesses, create jobs, strengthen families, and transform communities—all while sharing the hope of Jesus Christ.Throughout the conversation, Ben reminds listeners that success isn't about titles, wealth, or recognition.True success is using your gifts to serve others and saying "yes" when God opens a door.Ben encourages listeners to:Trust God through every season.Don't let failure define your future.Invest in people, not just projects.Stay grounded in God's Word.Get involved in a Christ-centered community.And never underestimate what God can do through one simple act of obedience.You don't have to be perfect for God to use you.You simply have to be willing.What is one opportunity God may be asking you to say "yes" to today?Connect with Ben Clark:

Every leader has moments when an unexpected opportunity changes everything.In this episode, Geoff King and Mitch Kruse sit down with Dr. Angie Fincannon, Executive Director of Pearl Arts, to explore a remarkable leadership journey spanning higher education, athletics, and now one of Fort Wayne's most inspiring community initiatives.Together they discuss how faith, surrender, and purpose intersect to create opportunity for the next generation, why music transforms lives far beyond the stage, and how Pearl Arts is ensuring every child has access to mentorship, creativity, and hope.Whether you're a leader, parent, educator, or someone seeking encouragement in your own calling, this conversation will challenge and inspire you.

Hey there Voices of the Bench community, this is Trish Jones with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS Emax Zirconia offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help save you valuable production time while maintaining consistent results. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out to your local Ivoclar rep today and discover how IPS Emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one.Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, The Invisible Profession. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership.

From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. But this conversation goes far beyond Matt's career. His book, The Invisible Profession, explores how the dental laboratory industry arrived at a place where technicians and laboratories are often undervalued, pushed into price competition, and expected to simply keep their heads down and produce. Matt shares his thoughts on the "million little things" that shaped the industry, the danger of becoming a "busy fool," and why laboratories need to stop competing solely on price and start becoming known for the value, expertise, and partnership they bring to the dental team. Elvis, Barb, and Matt also talk about the changing landscape of digital dentistry, AI, 3D printing, speed, service, and why the labs that embrace change and remain agile will be the ones positioned for the future. It's an honest, thought-provoking, and ultimately optimistic conversation about where the dental laboratory profession has been, where it is today, and where it can go next.Special Guest: Matt Everatt.

When uni student Annabelle Chauncy volunteered in Uganda, in her words, she was blown away by the poverty and the lack of resources, including education, in much of rural Uganda. So she not only had a dream to try and change that, but she acted on it. At 22 years of age, Annabelle set about building a small primary school for the most disadvantaged kids in a village. But first she had to raise the funds, work out how to buy some land, how to go about building a physical structure and then of course how to staff and run a school, in a community where virtually no-one spoke English. A feat that would surely be daunting for most of us. But now 15 years after her first school opened, this accidental entrepreneur has achieved enormous success with School for Life Foundation… it has educated now thousands of children across several schools and even a boarding school, with a cohort of 40 now studying at university, and School for Life employs 250 Ugandan staff. Annabelle Chauncy is a life-changing and inspiring leader.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the greatest legacy of loss isn't grief—but service? In this powerful conversation, Jeff Gould sits down with Mike Turner, Executive Director of Owen's Outfitters, to share an extraordinary story of hope born from heartbreak. After losing his son Owen, Mike and his family chose to transform unimaginable loss into a mission that is changing lives every day. Owen's Outfitters collects donated medical equipment—from wheelchairs and hospital beds to walkers, knee scooters, and countless other essential items—and provides them free of charge to anyone who needs them. No insurance requirements. No income limits. No complicated red tape. Just neighbors helping neighbors. In this interview, you'll discover: • How one family's tragedy became a movement of compassion • Why an estimated tens of billions of dollars of usable medical equipment are discarded each year • How Owen's Outfitters has already kept millions of dollars of equipment in use instead of landfills • The simple philosophy that has fueled remarkable growth • Why this model could be replicated in communities across America • The inspiring power of choosing purpose after profound loss This isn't just a story about medical equipment. It's a story about purpose, generosity, community, and the incredible impact ordinary people can have when they refuse to let suffering have the final word.

Many of you know that along with Insight on Business I work with the National Tractor Parts Dealer Association (NTPDA) and have been a member for over twenty years. Here is a very brief cut about the NTPDA Scholarship Program and the impact it has on the lives of those who receive $5,000 to $3,000 in a scholarship. Good stuff here.

Giving back doesn't just change someone else's life–it changes yours too. When you make an impact on the lives of others, you often walk away with something just as meaningful.In this conversation, I'm joined by Lisa Stender, COO of Feed My Starving Children. The organization has provided billions of nutritious meals to children around the world through volunteers, and after volunteering myself, I wanted to share their mission with you. Lisa gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how Feed My Starving Children is helping communities overcome hunger and build pathways toward long-term stability one meal at a time.While access to food, education, and resources differs around the world, we are all connected by our humanity. Every parent wants their child to thrive, and every person wants to believe that something better is possible.

When a child exhibits behavioral challenges, facial recession, or struggles with sleep, the root cause is frequently hiding in plain sight: their breathing habits. Unfortunately, these vital signs of compromised airway health are often overlooked by traditional medical models.In this episode, Hallie sits down with Dr. Leslie Pasco, an expert in airway health, pediatric development, and the author of The Great Contraction. Dr. Pasco breaks down the profound impact that mouth breathing, poor jaw development, and tongue-ties have on a child's long-term physical and neurological growth.About the Guest: Dr. Leslie Pasco, DMD, OFM, CBBIDr. Leslie Pasco is the visionary founder and President of MyoWay Centers for Kids. With almost three decades of experience in dentistry, Dr. Pasco has dedicated her career to understanding how airway health and muscle function deeply influence growth, sleep, learning, and overall health in children. Rather than simply addressing surface symptoms, she emphasizes early screening, thorough functional assessments, and close collaboration with other healthcare professionals to ensure her young patients receive truly comprehensive care. Her clear, driving mission is to help children grow right, breathe right, and live better.Key Topics & TakeawaysMouth Breathing as a Danger Signal: Why mouth breathing should never be dismissed as a "phase," and how it actively derails midface growth, jaw position, and dental alignment.The ADHD & Sleep Link: How sleep-disordered breathing frequently mimics or exacerbates symptoms of ADHD, leading to misdiagnoses that could be resolved with airway support.A Call for Holistic Care: Understanding the environmental stressors driving facial recession and contraction, and why true patient healing requires organic, multidisciplinary collaboration.Soundbites"Mouth breathing is a danger signal. It is your body's emergency backup system, not a functional way for a growing child to live and develop.""Breathing therapy can change lives. When you restore nasal breathing and correct sleep architecture, you aren't just changing a habit—you're shifting a child's entire behavioral and developmental trajectory.""Holistic care requires collaboration. No single provider can fix a contracted airway or a system-wide dysfunction completely on their own."Timestamps 00:00 - The Impact of Airway Health on Families01:12 - Introducing Dr. Leslie Pasco02:20 - Shifting from General Dentistry to Airway Care07:23 - The Dangers of Chronic Mouth Breathing12:04 - ADHD Misdiagnosis vs. Sleep Disordered Breathing19:02 - The Connection Between Palatal Expansion and Myofunctional Therapy28:44 - Functional Assessments for Tethered Oral Tissues (Tongue & Lip Ties)30:53 - The Critical Role of Pre-Op and Post-Op Preparation for Releases44:00 - What is the Buteyko Breathing Method?

How does a tech internship at a community centre in Kenya lead to one of the highest honours in the Salesforce ecosystem?   In this episode of our Golden Hoodie Winners series, I sit down with Alimali Stephens, Salesforce Senior Developer, community leader, and Salesforce Golden Hoodie recipient. Alimali shares an inspiring story that began with a desire to give back to his local community and led to an unforgettable moment on the Dreamforce stage.   His journey reminds us that opportunities often arrive when we're focused on helping others rather than chasing recognition.  Where It All Began  Alimali takes us back to his early days at the Karibu Centre in Kenya, where he joined as an intern supporting programmes for mothers, children, and the wider community.   It was there that he was first introduced to Salesforce through a volunteer programme. Rather than simply learning a new platform, he became part of a project that transformed how the organisation measured its impact, automated manual processes, and better supported the families it served.  That first experience with Salesforce would shape the rest of his career.  An Unforgettable Dreamforce Moment  One day, his director called him into the office with an unexpected question. How comfortable was he speaking in front of a large audience?  Soon afterwards, Alimali discovered he had been invited to present on the Dreamforce Admin Keynote. It would be his first visit outside Africa, his first trip to the United States, and, as it turned out, the day he received a surprise Salesforce Golden Hoodie.  To make the moment even more memorable, it all happened on his birthday.   Building A Career While Building A Community  Since receiving his Golden Hoodie, Alimali has continued to grow professionally, progressing from Salesforce Administrator to consultant and now Senior Salesforce Developer.   Alongside his day job, he has remained committed to community leadership. As a Salesforce Community Leader in Nairobi and a technology lead with Africa Ohana, he spends his time mentoring aspiring professionals, organising events, and helping others discover opportunities within the Salesforce ecosystem.  His belief is simple. The more people we help today, the stronger the community becomes tomorrow.  Why Community Changes Careers  Throughout our conversation, Alimali explains how discovering the Salesforce community transformed his own learning journey.  Early in his career, he often found himself solving problems alone because he didn't know there were other Salesforce professionals nearby who could help. Today, he works to ensure new Trailblazers never have that same experience.  It's a powerful reminder that asking questions, sharing knowledge, and supporting one another often accelerates everyone's growth.  AI Through The Eyes Of A Salesforce Developer  We also discuss how AI is changing the role of Salesforce developers.   Rather than seeing AI as a threat, Alimali views it as a practical tool that helps developers solve problems faster, reduce repetitive work, and deliver better solutions for customers. He shares examples of building AI-powered Salesforce solutions and explains why learning to work alongside AI will become an increasingly valuable skill.  What part of Alimali's journey inspired you the most, and how could giving back to your own community shape your career in ways you never expected?  About Supermums  Founded by Heather Black, a Salesforce Golden Hoodie winner, Supermums helps relaunchers and seasoned Salesforce professionals accelerate their careers in tech through expert training, career coaching and recruitment support.  Whether someone is returning to work, pivoting into a new role, or ready to step up in the Salesforce ecosystem, Supermums provides practical training, mentoring and access to job opportunities to help them build confidence, sharpen their skills and progress faster.  Alongside its career development programmes, Supermums partners with employers to connect them with talented Salesforce professionals who are ready to make an impact.

In this episode of The 20/20 Podcast, Dr. Harbir Sian sits down with Donna Mikulecky, Executive Director of Optometry Giving Sight, to discuss how the organization is helping build sustainable optometry services around the world. Donna explains that Optometry Giving Sight focuses on preventing vision impairment and blindness caused by uncorrected refractive error, with a mission that goes beyond short-term vision missions. Instead, the organization helps fund long-term infrastructure, including optometry schools, vision centres, and community-based programs that continue serving patients long after initial support is provided. The conversation explores the real-world impact of access to eye care: children staying in school, adults being able to work, families becoming more independent, and local communities gaining employment opportunities through sustainable eye care systems. Donna also shares how optometrists, clinics, corporate partners, and patients can support Optometry Giving Sight through programs like the World Sight Day Challenge, Team OGS, patient rebate donations, and practice-based fundraising campaigns. The episode also addresses common questions around charitable giving, including where donations go, how grants are awarded, and how Optometry Giving Sight monitors the programs it funds. 3 Key Takeaways1. Optometry Giving Sight focuses on sustainable eye care, not just temporary aid. The organization supports long-term solutions such as optometry schools, vision centres, and local eye care programs that remain in communities and continue serving patients over time.2. The impact of vision care extends far beyond glasses. Access to eye care can help children succeed in school, allow adults to work, support family independence, and create career opportunities for local eye care providers.3. Every optometry practice can participate in giving back. Whether through the World Sight Day Challenge, Team OGS, donating a portion of frame sales, encouraging patient rebate donations, or sharing OGS content online, practices can make giving part of their culture in a simple and meaningful way.Learn more and contribute to Optometry Giving Sight at givingsight.orgLove the show?

Got a show or guest idea? Send us a text!Visit: TruDose.com for more informationWhy Platelets MatterFor a long time, platelets were thought of mainly as the cells that help your blood clot. But new research shows they do much more (“Clickable link” Holland 2026 paper citation) Platelets act as the body's natural cellular adaptogen—the most important cells circulating in the bloodstream capable of helping the body respond to stress. They act like first responders, helping the body handle physical stresses like injury or illness, emotional stresses like anxiety or trauma, and environmental stresses like pollution or poor nutrition. Platelets carry key signals and growth factors that let them sense what the body needs and respond quickly, supporting adaptation and healing through all phases of stress, including the alarm, resistance, and exhaustion stages.What's truly exciting is their potential in exhaustion-based diseases—conditions where the body's ability to cope with stress has been pushed beyond its limits. These include chronic fatigue syndrome, post-viral syndromes like long COVID, fibromyalgia, adrenal or hormonal exhaustion, and chronic burnout. In these states, traditional therapies often fail because the body's natural adaptive systems are depleted. Platelets, as cellular adaptogens, may help restore balance, improve resilience, and guide recovery where other approaches struggle, offering a whole new way to address chronic, unresolved, or stress-exhaustion conditions.This opens up powerful possibilities for treatment. Because platelets are naturally adaptive, their benefits depend on delivering the right dose at the right time. This is where TruDOSE(™) comes in to play! By working with the body's own adaptive powers in a precise, individualized way, we can go beyond one-size-fits-all therapies and support each person's healing more effectively. Platelets aren't just for repair—they're central players in the body's natural self-healing process, and at the right dose, they unleash powerful healing that may be key to treating stress-related and exhaustion-phase diseases.Platelets are often known for their role in blood clotting. TruDOSE research has helped expand that understanding.Platelets help coordinate how the body responds when conditions change. Through biological signaling, they participate in immune modulation, vascular homeostasis, metabolic regulation, and systemic homeostasis.No two people have identical platelet characteristics. That variation matters. How platelets are prepared can influence how they are organized and applied within structured clinical settings. Starting with your own biology allows for a more individualized and precise preparation process.TruDOSE applies consistent preparation standards so providers can work directly with patient-specific biology rather than relying on uniform concentration models.TruDOSE works with platelet biology through:Individualized biological evaluationStructured preparation methodsData-informed calibrationProvider-guided application within clinical environmentsOur approach goes beyond standard PRP. It is not just about concentration. It is about calibration.About Tapley Holland, PhD:Innovator. Builder. Driving Force Behind TruDOSE™.Tapley Holland has been active in the stem cell and regenerative medicine field since 2005. He developed TruDOSE™ to address the limitations of one-size-fits-all approaches by enabling individualized dosing across a range of disease conditions. Beginning in 2018, his research involving thousands of patients informed precision dosing strategies and supported translational applications across multiple symptoms and disease states. This work contributed to the completion of his PhD in Stem Cell Medicine in February 2026 and to the publication “Platelets as Endogenous Cellular Adaptogens: A Review of Stress Signaling and Regenerative Implications,” which examines the role of platelets in stress response, immune modulation, and regenerative processes. Holland's work integrates clinical data, mechanistic insights, and translational research to advance precision regenerative therapies for complex neuroimmune and systemic conditions.For More Information About Erin, Visit:Heartwinghealing.comSupport the showEnjoying the Show?Your comments, likes and shares make an immense difference!

What happens when the world tells you who you are before you ever get the chance to decide for yourself? In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with recording artist, songwriter, and autism advocate B Able for a conversation about identity, resilience, creativity, and rewriting the narrative others place on you. After being told by a neurologist that he would never attend a regular school, finish high school, go to college, or live a normal life, B Able spent years navigating bullying, misunderstanding, financial hardship, and periods of instability. But through music, self-expression, and an unwavering belief in his purpose, he began building something far bigger than a career. His message became the foundation of his mission: “See the able, not the label.” This conversation explores the connection between creativity and healing, the hidden strengths that can exist inside neurodivergence, and what it looks like to pursue a dream while still figuring yourself out in real time. From mental health and music to discipline, growth, and self-belief, this episode is a reminder that transformation rarely happens in a straight line.

This episode was sponsored by Cardiff    LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Ryan Alexander, a credit educator who rebuilt from a 500 score to 800+ credit and now teaches everyday people how to do the same.   Ryan exposes why credit repair companies are largely a scam and the real difference between bad credit and no credit. He breaks down how to get a teenager an 800 score within 30 days of turning 18, the credit card trifecta strategy most business owners are completely missing, and the story of a man who sold his company for $220 million and still got denied for a mortgage.   Credit isn't just a number. It's leverage, and most people are leaving a fortune on the table because nobody taught them the rules.This is the conversation that changes how you see money forever.  

Welcome back to the Smiling Homeschooler Podcast! This week, we're taking some time to encourage moms as we celebrate both National Teacher Appreciation Day and Mother's Day. Homeschool moms don't get nearly the recognition they deserve, so today is all about recognizing you and everything you do for your kids. From wiping runny noses and teaching your children to read, to dealing with attitudes, discipline, discipleship, and the countless other responsibilities that come with motherhood and homeschooling, the work never really ends, and often goes unnoticed. But we truly believe the impact you are making on your children is deep, meaningful, and lifelong. Our goal today is simply to encourage you and remind you that what you're doing matters more than you know. We hope you enjoy the episode! Before we start, we want to thank Teaching Textbooks for all of their support of the Smiling Homeschooler.
