On May first, the Trump administration closed its main immigration court in San Francisco's Financial District. That follows months of clashes outside the building between ICE and local activists opposing the crackdown on immigrants. Those cases have now been moved to another Bay Area court in Concord. The move has resulted in "mega" immigration dockets, with dozens — and sometimes more than a hundred — cases to be decided per day. But that's only one of the problems that have resulted from the move. Clara-Sophia Daly is an immigration reporter with Mission Local. She's recently reported on the situation in Concord. She spoke with KALW's news editor Sunni Khalid about what she's found. 

Read transcriptLet's talk about Spider-Man 3, the movie where Sam Raimi looked at “menacing single antagonist” and said no thank you, I would like three, please, and also I would like Peter Parker to dance down the street like he's auditioning for a jazz-hands cult. It's a movie that tried to do everything, mostly succeeded at doing too much, and somehow still made enough money that Activision looked at it and thought: yes, this deserves not one video game, but two, spread across seven different consoles, so that literally nobody in 2007 could escape it. Ambitious! Chaotic! Extremely on brand for the source material! See, there's the fancy version, built by Treyarch for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, where you get a whole open Manhattan to swing around in and the black suit shows up only when the story deems you emotionally ready for it, very mature, very earned. And then there's the completely different budget cousin, built by Vicarious Visions for PS2, Wii, PSP, GBA, and DS, where you can slap the black suit on whenever you feel like being a jerk, the Wii Remote gets to pretend it's a web-shooter, and the DS throws the D-pad in the trash entirely so you can beat up Sandman by poking a touchscreen like it owes you money. Same cover art. Same villains. Practically strangers. Swinging in to help me sort out how many wildly different versions of one questionable movie a single franchise can generate is Harry Steele, co-host of Games on Film, the podcast where he and his brother Rory spend their days grading movies based on video games! Which means Harry has built an entire professional skillset around asking “did Hollywood mess this up,” and today, for one glorious episode, we get to point that same energy directly back at a video game and ask if it managed to mess up the movie right back. Poetic justice! Content symmetry! Whatever you want to call it, it's happening! So grab whichever suit you're feeling today, pick a console, any console, apparently they all made their own decisions, and let's find out if the Spider-Man 3 games handled three villains and seven platforms with any more finesse than the movie handled three villains and one dance number. Learn such things as: How similar do games have to be in order to have the same title? Do movie tie in games really need to care about what happened in the movie? Isn't Spidey supposed to have friends? And so much more! You can find Harry on BlueSky @onlymanwhocan and of course his podcast Games on Film.

Did anyone else start summer with good intentions and then suddenly realize things felt a little chaotic? Between camps, vacations, changing schedules, kids being home more often, and trying to juggle work, family, and self-care, summer can quickly become overwhelming. While many of us crave structure, the reality is that summer rarely follows a perfectly organized schedule. The good news? Your nervous system doesn't need perfection. It needs predictability. In this episode, Dr. Des shares practical ways to create more regulation, connection, and enjoyment during the summer months without relying on rigid routines or unrealistic expectations. We'll discuss why summer can feel dysregulating, how flexible rhythms can support both parents and children, and simple ways to create more calm and fun in everyday life. In This Episode, We Explore: ☀️ Why summer can feel surprisingly overwhelming ☀️ How changes in routine impact the nervous system ☀️ The difference between rigid schedules and flexible rhythms ☀️ Why predictability helps children and adults feel more regulated ☀️ How overstimulation and mental load affect moms ☀️ Simple "anchor points" that can bring more calm to your day ☀️ The connection between nervous system regulation and pelvic floor health ☀️ Why fun, play, and connection matter for overall well-being ☀️ Practical ways to support yourself during a busy season Why This Matters When life feels chaotic, our bodies often respond by holding more tension, breathing more shallowly, sleeping less, and feeling more overwhelmed. This can impact everything from energy levels and stress management to pelvic floor symptoms and overall health. Creating small moments of predictability and connection can help support both physical and emotional well-being throughout the summer months. The Big Takeaway Your family doesn't need a perfect summer. They need a connected, present, and regulated version of you. Instead of chasing the perfect schedule, focus on creating simple rhythms that support your nervous system and leave room for spontaneity, fun, and meaningful connection.

In hour 1, Spadoni and Shasky discuss the chaotic day in Bay Area sports as Shanahan takes responsibility for his accident, Bader gets into a scooter accident and Draymond signs a 1 year extension.

If your mornings feel like a chaotic scramble the second your feet hit the floor, or you start the day already stressed, foggy, grumpy, or behind before school has even started, this episode is for you. There's a specific 10 minute morning routine that changes everything, and summer is the perfect window to build it before school starts back up.Today Leslie walks you through the exact morning routine she recommends to teens and college students. It's not the basic "make your bed and eat breakfast" version most people talk about. It's a nervous system informed routine that helps you set your day up on your terms so you're in control of it instead of being run by it.In this episode you'll hear why summer is the ideal window to build a new habit (the 21 day myth explained), why teen sleep naturally shifts later during these years and what that means for school mornings, and the enhanced 10 minute morning routine that most experts don't talk about but that changes the entire day.The basic morning routine most students already follow and where it falls shortWhy night before prep (clothes, backpack, breakfast) removes 80% of the morning stressThe 10 minute nervous system morning routine step by stepWhy physically writing your intentions beats typing them (there's real science behind this)Why your phone doesn't belong in your bedroom (and what to put there instead)The "who do I want to be today" question that changes how you show upHow to give this a two week trial run as a summer self improvement projectParents: This is a great episode if your teen's mornings tend to be rushed, stressful or they're anxious. This morning routine is teen sized (10 minutes), grounded in nervous system regulation, and doesn't require a giant lifestyle overhaul. The bonus for parents: kids who wake up and journal instead of grabbing a phone are more grounded, present, and are often easier to live with in the morning.Ready to prepare your teen for the biggest transition of their life so far? Whether they're heading off to college as a freshman or transferring from a two year school, the Freshman Formula is a 5 day, self-paced program that covers everything they need to actually thrive on campus, not just survive. Life skills, finding friends, managing time, and how to get support before things ever hit crisis mode.Check it out HEREConnect with Leslie:website: leslierosecoaching.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/leslierosecoaching/

Do things feel a little disconnected between team members in your practice? Tiff and Dana discuss the common signs that usually mean your practice could use a communication refresher, and then give advice on what can be done about improvement. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Tiffanie (00:01) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. We are back at you on the podcast slash video cast, which is still really weird to me. I think I spend more time getting prepped and ready for the podcast than I do for coaching calls, which is wildly, wildly annoying. And here we are. I secretly do   wish that we could just be off camera still, but I I know I enjoy watching the podcast and Aaron watches podcasts every morning. So here we are. Dana, you are my favorite podcaster on a Friday. I love ending my week with you. I love beginning my week with you as well. You are an amazing podcaster and just an incredible person. How are you today, Dana?   DAT-Dana (00:44) Doing pretty good. Excited. I know this is a good way to like have a solid Friday. Get some tip time.   Tiffanie (00:50) It is.   DAT-Dana (00:51) Get to get to chat. it is a great way to end   Tiffanie (00:54) Yeah.   DAT-Dana (00:54) the week.   Tiffanie (00:55) I agree. I agree. And I I was excited because I forgot what the schedule I look at my schedule a million times. This week has been weird. and I look at it a million times, a million times. I even put podcasting in a different color on my calendar so that I know that it's like it's coming. And then this morning I was like, Happy surprise podcasting today. Like two hours ago, I was like, my gosh, this is wild tough. I just can't get it together this week. But alas, I think it's because Brody's birthday threw me off.   He turned eighteen and that has been spinning my world. So here we are, Dana. You have littles at home. It's summer right now and at the point of recording this, we all have we all have some sort of children at home on some level. And how are how's your summer over there going with the with the clan? You have a whole clan.   DAT-Dana (01:44) Yeah, it's going good. It's it's super busy.   Tiffanie (01:48) Yeah.   DAT-Dana (01:48) I feel like, you know, I get to summertime and I'm like, vacation and relaxation and it never happens.   Tiffanie (01:54) No.   DAT-Dana (01:56) but they're enjoying what downtime they get. They're enjoying, you know, being in sports and and the sunshine. So it's good   Tiffanie (02:03) Good.   DAT-Dana (02:03) overall.   Tiffanie (02:05) Good. And I feel like school comes like school starts back up so fast. Like you think you have time and then it's just summer's gone.   DAT-Dana (02:14) Yeah, I know. I'm like I can't believe it'll be here in like a week, really. Yeah.   Tiffanie (02:17) Literally. I know.   Up here, in Phoenix they started going back to school last week. My nieces already had a week and a half of school.   DAT-Dana (02:24) my gosh, that's   Tiffanie (02:26) I know.   I know. But modified year round, that's what we like to do around here. And I think East Coast, they really don't go back until most of them don't go back until after Labor Day. So then they're like wildly thrown off with the mid July start of school.   DAT-Dana (02:41) Mm. Yep.   Tiffanie (02:42) But here we are. today we are talking about leadership and that's one of our favorite topics. I think Dana, you and I definitely thrive in the leadership world and like communication is really, really massive. I think both of us   thrive on communication in our personal lives as well, and just really, really look for those opportunities to create clarity, create trust, to be vulnerable. and all of those pieces. And today's conversation kind of encompasses all of those, I feel. And it has been coming up for me a couple of times, Dana you and I spoke. You've had it come up a couple of times on coaching calls as well. And really talking about and looking at that transparency space.   between a doctor and a team? And I think you and I have some really phenomenal ideas on this. And first I wanna work through kind of workshop with you backwards. Like what is it that a doctor can maybe find in their lives that says maybe we need a little bit more communication or or this space isn't as evolved as it could be? Like what are some signs and symptoms that you've seen within teams that say, hey, we're not   connected a hundred percent and there's a gap here because I do think Dana a lot of times the team knows and notices, but oftentimes the doctor, like to their credit, they're doing dentistry. They're over there working, they're head down and they don't always realize that there's a gap, but the the team does. So what are some of those signs or symptoms that you've witnessed with your practices recently or previously?   DAT-Dana (04:21) Yeah, I think a couple big ones are when it's hard to delegate. I think to when like expectations aren't met, oftentimes there's a gap in communication there, as well as team members not feeling bought in, right? And   Tiffanie (04:37) Mm.   DAT-Dana (04:38) yet we feel like we're saying all the things, we're explaining all the things, and yet team members don't seem really bought in or really aligned.   with pieces, I think those are three that I notice pretty routinely in offices that there is just either a communication gap, a trust gap, or something, there's a disconnect somewhere.   Tiffanie (04:56) Yeah, I love those. I think that's spot on. And within that like delegation and expectation and maybe even follow through. So maybe you've asked for things and the team's not doing it. you've asked for systems to be put in place and they're just not getting completed, or you see you maybe implemented some systems to get a specific result and we're still not hitting that result. those are huge, Dana. That was that was phenomenal. And   Some of them that I've seen too are like an upset manager, like an easily upset manager or a frantic manager, a frantic front office team. I feel like they get hit with it the hardest when there's a a gap and a disconnect and the like frantic or overwhelmed. I actually was listening to a podcast yesterday that was talking about the idea of like actually listening, of being a good listener. And   one spot that it brought up was this sense of overwhelm where a lot of people will come to us and say, gosh, I'm overwhelmed. There's too much on my plate. And so then what a manager or or an owner will do is say, okay, well let's look at what you got. Let's figure it out. And and I remember I told Kira this actually probably July. So probably like six months ago, I told Kira this. I said, Kira, you can find you and I are phenomenal at finding space in a calendar. We can find   blank space and and time in a calendar for the duties and the things that I'm supposed to get done. Right. And I think managers will say that too. Like, yeah, I can see the time and we'll look at things, Dana, and be like, I think they should be able to do this. So if they can do the things, but they're saying there's an overwhelm, this podcast talked about it's not necessarily always, sometimes it is, an overwhelm of physical tasks, like things that need to get done.   Oftentimes it's an emotional overwhelm that's overriding the tasks that need to get done. And so the the emotional aspect of it and sometimes it's that gap in communication can create this whirlwind sense of not being able to accomplish the thing. So I've seen that a ton in front office team members and managers where they're like, gosh, I can't get to the I can't get to the unscheduled treatment calls.   Because I I don't have time. There's no space. And I'm like, it's it they're not gonna answer. Like, leave a voicemail, send a text. Like ninety-nine point nine percent of the time people aren't answering the phone. So it really doesn't take that much time, but that's not the actual issue. Like, there's a root cause underneath that we have to dig into, and all of those things that you said, Dina, those are the symptoms that something else is going on. And I think usually it's an emotional.   space and a and a communication gap or an emotional distance between two people that causes that.   DAT-Dana (07:53) Yeah, I completely agree with you.   Tiffanie (07:55) And I think even at home, right? Like sometimes we're like, he never takes all the trash, or he never does this. I have to do everything. And it's like maybe we just haven't connected on an emotional level to be able to see the contributions that each of us are making. Like we're so disconnected that everything is then something. And I think that happens I say really all the time. Relationships are relationships, they're just like formed a little bit differently, but your connection and your communication is relatively similar.   So if anyone can see themselves in any of that, a team member, a doctor who's here, or a doctor who might think like, wow, I thought everything was okay, but I do hear the word overwhelm a lot or stressed or tired or I don't have, I don't have, I don't have time, I don't have space, I don't have s a spot to do it in. If you're hearing those things over and over and over again, it might be more of a trust gap and a communication gap.   than an actual physical tasks gap. So I beg of you before jumping to hire a new team member, because Dana, how many times have we witnessed that we must need someone else? And I'm like, you've got 16 people for a   DAT-Dana (09:08) Right.   Tiffanie (09:08) four op practice. You're fine. Or how   DAT-Dana (09:11) Yeah.   Tiffanie (09:11) many virtual assistants do you need? Before we jump to hiring a new person, number one, take a look at the space that you have. Dana and I have countless times.   talked through an org chart and an ops manual and all those pieces. We talk about those all the time because they work. So take a look at the space that you have, like what you're trying to create, what your practice is. What is the organizational chart? How who do you need physically? Not the people you already have, but like the seats. What are the seats that you need in your practice to be successful? Because if all those seats are filled, now we need to take a step back and say, okay, great, why isn't this working? And   If they're not filled, awesome, let's hire. But if they are filled, now it's just working reverse engineering backwards. So with that, Dana, how do you think the trust gap, right? Because I I really think communic communication gap is like when there's not communication happening, it's very easy to say we have a communication gap. But really what it boils down to is that without that communication, my trust is broken because I'm trying to figure things out.   DAT-Dana (10:23) Mm-hmm.   Tiffanie (10:23) So   how do you feel are some common areas or ways that that trust gap is created between a doctor and a team?   DAT-Dana (10:33) Mm-hmm. Yeah. I think the first and foremost thing that I see, and I have an office that really, really struggles with this. And it is that like the doctor will announce things or share things before they're   Tiffanie (10:46) Mm.   DAT-Dana (10:47) actually fully 100% in place or going to happen. And then when it doesn't happen, or he changes his mind, or he makes a different decision or pivots down a different path, the team members one feel like whiplash.   Right. And then two, don't always know when to trust the office manager and the doctor in that it is actually going to happen. Right. So when to prep themselves and when to really start to get things into place because oftentimes they've started those pieces and then it just feels like time or work wasted because the decision pivots or changes. And so it's really, really broken down.   Trust in that way because team members, one, aren't really sure if things are really happening. And then two, frustration happens on doctor and leadership when they're like, Why aren't they excited? Why aren't they bought in? Why aren't they ready   Tiffanie (11:32) Yeah.   DAT-Dana (11:33) to go? Why aren't they super motivated? Right. And that's because the team is like, Well, it's changed 35 times. And so we're just kind of waiting until we know for sure because we don't want to feel like we wasted our time, our energy, our effort.   Tiffanie (11:45) Yeah. Yeah. I all I think when that not when I think a lot of times when those things happen, the team muscle memory reverts back to the original way of doing it. So then you've got a billing representative that's sending paper claims because she's like, I know this works, right? Yeah.   DAT-Dana (12:03) Yeah. Yeah.   Tiffanie (12:04) Yeah. And then you've got a doctor that's like, I'm paying AI Yes.   DAT-Dana (12:08) I wanna be super tech savvy and I'm paying AI and we're still sending   paper claims. Yeah.   Tiffanie (12:14) Yes,   and an office manager who's like, Well, I don't know what to tell you, but I've got an overloaded plate of things here 'cause I have people coming in my door constantly crying and saying they're overwhelmed. Yeah. Yeah.   DAT-Dana (12:26) Yeah. Yeah.   Tiffanie (12:28) And I think that's a common thing and I I I know that it's really exciting to like be on the threshold of innovation. And dentistry is constantly innovating.   And within that, we've got you know the scanners and the tech and the AI and the I mean, gosh, like the AI like pearl tools that are reading x-rays and now insurances are starting to use those things like innovation is constant in dentistry. And I think oftentimes what that makes us feel like is that the simple systems that have gotten us here also need to innovate and change. And so we're throwing all of these tech innovations from a back office standpoint now.   into every aspect of the practice, but we're also saying, okay, cool, well if I can do this with a scanner, why can't you do something different with insurance verifications? And it's like, I can't even fathom that. And then they're saying, okay, well, try this, try that, try this, try that, try this. And in dentistry, when you're trying to find a new bond and primer, cool, try it until you find the one that works. But when you're overloaded with like to-dos and   paperwork is what we'll call it, tasks. It's not as easy to try it and see if it works and continue to do that. So that innovative mind tries to cover so much ground that we do end up with so many changes and it's like a pivot constantly. Gosh, Kira and I had we had pivot. I don't remember Dana when it was. You might have been here for pivot. I don't remember. Yeah. Like I don't remember how long ago it was. That was   DAT-Dana (14:04) Yep. Yes. Yeah.   Tiffanie (14:08) the worst year of our   freaking lives in this company. We had pivot as a core value and we use pivot as a core value because we want to be on the threshold of inva innovation and we want to be able to roll with the punches. Like, okay, great, something came up, great. We we figure it out and we move on is what we meant by pivot. But what happened that year, Dana? What did that year look like?   DAT-Dana (14:27) It was chaos because we also used pivot as a reason to be able to like justify lots of change, right?   Tiffanie (14:33) Correct.   Correct. So we just like constant it was like this wheel that it just never ended, right? A wheel just keeps going, keeps going, but on every little tread was a new something. And so every time that tread hit the ground, it was a change, it was a change, it was a change. And I think it's really easy in business, and in entrepreneurship to do that because you are having to create, you know, Wells Fargo and Chase, like   They're they've got innovators on their team, but they're pretty steady eddy of what that business structure needs to look like. When you're an entrepreneur and you're super innovative, it's very easy to get stuck in that like let's jump to the next thing mentality. So again, if you're feeling yourself in this, don't worry, it's not just you, or we wouldn't do an entire podcast about it, by the way. And also there are solutions. And Dana, you've you said you've got   you know, practices you can think of, I think both of us do, because again, it's not just you, it's everyone that go through this. What are some ways that you help your teams and your doctors to bridge that gap when those things come up? Like when we're in this constant state of change and they're like, I'm out, I can't even get excited anymore. How do you help them bridge that gap?   DAT-Dana (15:50) Yeah, I think it is it it is getting them to understand that like while change is really, really great, you have to understand that your team members are who is implementing the change. So be cautious and cognizant of how many things you're changing at once. Be cautious and cognizant that the team feels like, hey, yep, we've got this, we can do it independently, we're good, before we add the next change. So just really keeping a pulse on those pieces. And then two, just really   Making sure that you get to a certain point in your decision making process before you're   Tiffanie (16:25) Yeah.   DAT-Dana (16:25) involving the team. And even your office manager, right? Another breakdown of trust that I see is it's like we either share too much or share too little, right? With the people   who then help us implement or help us guide those decisions. And so I think like figuring out that clarity of what is the right amount to share.   Or when is the right time to share and who those appropriate channels are. So just like you said with the org chart tip, I think as you're   Tiffanie (16:52) Yeah.   DAT-Dana (16:53) building out your org chart, building and knowing like, okay, when it comes to what I need to share, who actually do I need to share certain things with and having clarity amongst you, your leaders, and the people that are on your org chart about those things.   Tiffanie (17:09) Yeah, that's beautiful. And it made me think of just like how much communication you have with those key players in the practice. And a and a couple of dissecting pieces there, Dana. The team and team members who are here doesn't need to know everything. The leadership   team of the practice needs to know.   what they need to know in order to push the needles forward. And as you were talking, I was thinking oftentimes doctors go like a full in it or out of it, right? It's either one or the other. And so they're either oversharing or they're sharing nothing because it's hard to find that happy medium. And something we do with our offices and something we do in our own company is we create those targets. And so when you have those yearly targets, those quarterly rock targets that you're looking at.   we're able to say, does this push us towards our targets or is this a distraction? And Dana, I think after the year of pivot, that's something we implemented and we stuck to because Kira is an idea like machine. She her famous words are, I have an idea. Right. And my famous words are awesome, what is it? Let's go. Right. I don't even need to hear it. And I'm like, yep, let's do it.   And so then the whole company just goes into this spiral. So it needs to be a space of of innovation. So you've got to have be able to have the ideas, but then you need someone, what's where Britt comes into our company really strong?   DAT-Dana (18:41) Hm.   Tiffanie (18:42) Someone in between the heck yes girl and the idea generator that says, hang on a second, is this pushing us forward or is this just a distraction? So they go on like I have doctors that have made them carry notebooks.   For ideas. It's an idea book or an idea board. It's like I've got all of these great ideas, but let's go back to them when the timing is right. So if the timing is right right now for that thing, great, let's add it to our list of to-dos or our changes or updates. Let's do it. Let's figure out how to do it and then implement with the   team when everything's ready to go. Don't implement prior and then we all figure it out together. You guys figure it out, you implement and then you follow through.   And all of those other things stay on that like idea board. If it's not generating what we need it to generate today, it might later. And Dana, I don't know how many times I've I've even gone back to my own boards, but that I've had doctors, I have one doctor in particular that I'm thinking of, and I hope she listens to this and knows exactly who I'm talking about. I know she will, because I bought her the notebook and the special pen and she would carry it around. She had it for years. And sometimes she'd go back to the other pages and be like   I don't even know what these words mean. I don't know what this idea was. So I was like,   DAT-Dana (19:59) Yeah.   Tiffanie (20:01) great. No reason to like try to figure it out, cross it out. If it was that important, it was gonna be that phenomenal and life-changing, you'll think of it again. It'll come back up.   DAT-Dana (20:11) Mm-hmm.   Tiffanie (20:12) And otherwise that idea would have been something that we jumped on, right? So we jump and we change and we jump and we change, but we need to be able to have that space of discussion. So what I have a lot of doctors and office managers do is whether you've got a full leadership team or not.   Doctors and office managers are meeting weekly. I had to do this years ago with my doctor when I was office manager just to keep up with his ideas. And if I didn't catch him before he caught the team, I was   DAT-Dana (20:42) Mm-hmm.   Tiffanie (20:42) in a frenzy, like backtracking, trying to fix things, right? I had people in my office like, why are we doing this? I'm like, I don't even know what you're talking about. I've never heard that before. So I had to catch him and be like, nope, everything funnels here.   We talk here. This is where we talk about project status. This is where I tell you what where I'm at on the projects we've already said yes to. This is where you bring problems, issues, and ideas. Same for me. And we discuss them and we figure out what's being implemented to the team. So again, whether there's like a whole leadership team doing it or not, that trusted person in your practice who's supposed to carry things out is the person that needs to have these conversations. Even as far Dana, I think, as   Hey, in the next five years, I'd love to do a build out. Cool. But like that's not today. So then when you   DAT-Dana (21:28) Mm-hmm.   Tiffanie (21:28) go to the team and you're like, yeah, we're gonna get bigger, some are gonna be like, yes, when? And five years is a long time. And others are gonna be like, I don't want to get any bigger. Peace. You know? Do   DAT-Dana (21:38) Yeah. Yep.   Tiffanie (21:40) you do that too, Dana? With those, I know we do it in our company, but those kind of like office manager and doctor meetings, do th are those working for your practices too?   DAT-Dana (21:49) Yeah, they really are. And I think that it's it's the it's the doctor understanding that and then the office manager really making sure that we follow those lines   Tiffanie (21:57) Yeah.   DAT-Dana (21:57) and and really making sure too that sometimes we mess up, right? We're human and so we we skip over. But then also just teaching the team, hey, if something's brought to you that doesn't come from me, bring it back to me so we can talk about it,   Tiffanie (22:06) Yeah.   DAT-Dana (22:07) we can figure it out. but yeah, I feel like that is such a key tool into not feeling like   Chaotic, when it's not   Tiffanie (22:15) Yeah.   DAT-Dana (22:16) funneled down, when ideas are just thrown out there and we're just changing things and changing things and changing things because we had this idea, but it wasn't actually super important. And so we keep trying to change it and manipulate it to make it be important. When you have those kind of conversations, the chaos and the overwhelm in the office goes down and the trust really starts to increase too.   Tiffanie (22:37) I agree. You said something there. You said, when something comes to you that I didn't bring, bring it to me. That's a huge space. And I think that's a space where managers can work really hard at bridging the trust gap between yourself and the doctor. A lot of managers are afraid to say what needs to be said to their doctors and you lose trust and that doctor loses trust in you too. If you're not willing to say, Hey, I this was brought to my attention.   What are we doing with that? Like what is that? I didn't you didn't come through me, which isn't not everything has to come through me, but I didn't know about it. So what is this? Not being able to not being able to say that, now you've got a huge issue, office managers, massive, because now you have asked your team to funnel to you like a dramatic little tattletale, and you're gonna start going, he did it again. there she goes, in front of your team.   Instead of being like, yeah, let me know, keep me in the loop, and then going and talking to your doctor. Because if you go and talk to your doctor, your doctor's like, shoot, you're right. I didn't follow I didn't follow the lines again. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Right? That's the trust gap, and that's the second, the second that office managers break that trust and start getting the team to rally against the doctor because they feel slighted or they feel like, he didn't tell me because he doesn't trust me.   No, we didn't tell you because the dental assistant was closer. It doesn't matter. It's not, it's not typically out of spite. It's not typically even thought about. It's this is the person who's the closest proximity to me right now, and I need to say it and get it out. Period. There's no malintent. Yes.   DAT-Dana (24:19) Yeah. Because I'm afraid I'm gonna forget it, or I'm afraid, you know, or I'm so excited about   it. You're right. There's no malice in there. And I love how you said go back, and it's not, it's not you jumped over me, right? You skipped over me. It's hey, I just heard of this thing. This is the first time I'm hearing about it. What's my role in it? Right? Where   Tiffanie (24:38) Yep.   DAT-Dana (24:38) do what what am I supposed to do? What's the plan for   how I'm supposed to get this implemented. Do you've got a time frame? Do you have again, it's just you're kind of coming more from that curiosity of, hey, I heard about something I hadn't heard about before. What's the plan here? Because there is, again, like you said, that's just it's not ever malicious when it comes to those   Tiffanie (24:57) Yeah. Yeah. It's not   DAT-Dana (25:00) types of things.   Tiffanie (25:01) it's not. I like to remind people we're not that important. Our egos tell us the opposite and that everything is about us and that they must be mad at us. Like I they're not thinking about us as much as we are. I'm not that important. So if I can if I can be like Chill, Tiff, you're not that important. As in like they didn't do it to you, just go find out the information. So if you can just come in at like a neutral space of   non-emotional attachment, not thinking that someone was doing something to you, you can get to the bottom line in the answer and start to train the habits that need to be trained. And I think Dana, those are two massive like earlier I was like, what are the action items? Like I think those are the two action items, right? As org chart, make sure that you know the order of operations, like who who talks to who, how do how do things get nailed down to the team and increasing those   office manager and doctor meetings, making sure that you're having those meetings and then office managers increasing your communication back to the doctor. I had to learn this with Kira that I wasn't always reporting back. And I was like, what like yes, I did my job. Like, stop asking me. Stop   DAT-Dana (26:12) Yeah. Yeah.   Tiffanie (26:13) asking me. And so many people say they're just micromanagers, right? Like, okay, yeah, they're micromanagers. And you know what? It's fine.   they have an entire business that they're trying to run. The way that you battle micromanaging is you report back. So   DAT-Dana (26:26) Mm-hmm.   Tiffanie (26:26) guess what? It's fine. This like ideal that the society has come up with about micromanaging, like whatever, we just have to make sure that things are getting done. So delete the term and just say, I need to report back. So org chart, increase your meetings and your one on one meetings or leadership. And still I think even Dana   Even if there's a leadership team, I still think it's very important for the doctor and the manager to meet, even outside of leadership. And   DAT-Dana (26:52) I agree. Yeah.   Tiffanie (26:55) then managers learn how to report back and communicate with your doctors and bridge that gap of trust starting with you. Doctors, your f your last one is if you listen to this without your manager, share it to your manager. I think it might be good for them to hear too. Dana, any parting words or anything you can think of that we missed in those action items that I was really afraid we weren't gonna come up with.   This is how we do it.   DAT-Dana (27:19) No, I honestly   I really loved this one and I think that there's a takeaway for everybody from owner, doctor to to to managers to leadership team to team in this. and these things take time to implement, they take time to incorporate, but truly the change in the trust can be massive.   Tiffanie (27:37) I agree. I agree. All right. So beginning of this podcast, we talked about the ways that you can see that you might have a trust gap. And then we walked you through how to start bridging that gap. There's a lot more to it than what this 30 minute podcast allows for. So reach out, you guys. We are here to help. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. You can find us on the socials, Dental A Team, all of the places. And as always, leave us a five star review.   if you loved this and want to follow up, let us know as well. Cause again, this does go further than just this. Dana, thank you so much. and everyone we'll catch you next time.

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on another hearing in a Georgia school shooting case.

Courageous Faith in Chaotic Times: When Your Faith is on the Ropes Pastor Dave Dechape sermon notes

Alan Philps examines Ralph Parker, a mysterious correspondent for The Times and The New York Times, and his secretary-turned-wife, Valentina. A central event involves a chaotic press conference regarding the Katyn Forestmassacre, where reporter Harold King tried to physically block Valentina, suspecting she was an NKVD colonel. In the ensuing scuffle, Valentina was thrown through a glass door but stoically recovered to attend the conference. Philps explores whether Parker was a spy for Britain, the Soviets, or both, noting his later career representing Soviet artists. Despite the suspicions that she was a high-ranking agent, Valentina died blind and in extreme poverty in a dilapidated apartment. In a poignant display of Russian generosity, she once gave away her wedding ring to a visitor's daughter because "good gold" was scarce, highlighting her dire circumstances at the end of her life.

Welcome to Pandemonium, the plane where the wind screams, gravity is a rumor, and every emergency exit has a reasonable chance of dropping you directly into the Abyss. Tyler explains the cosmology, Randall attempts to locate something resembling a usable map, Ash discovers that the wind is made from every scream anyone has ever screamed, and Producer Dan quietly realizes this entire episode will require aggressive noise reduction. Pack darkvision, ear protection, and a backup character. The weather is hostile, the architecture hates you, and even the demons would rather be somewhere else. Show Notes This week on the RPGBOT.Podcast, we descend into Pandemonium, the endlessly dark maze of caves where hurricane-force winds carry ancient voices, communication is nearly impossible, and prolonged exposure can leave travelers deaf, insane, or both. The crew explores the plane's four layers, from the enormous caverns of Pandesmos to the narrowing tunnels of Cocytus, the marginally more gravity-compliant Phlegethon, and the sealed chambers of Agathion, where forgotten horrors wait patiently for some adventurer with a shovel and poor judgment. Along the way, we examine Pandemonium's strange inhabitants, exiled gods, nihilistic settlements, bizarre monsters, and oddly specific afterlives. We also follow the River Styx, investigate portals that treat destinations as optional suggestions, and discover a magical shouting spot that lets you insult someone anywhere in the multiverse, provided invisible shadow demons do not eat you first. Finally, the episode turns to using spells against player characters. The hosts discuss why illusion magic becomes terrifying in the hands of a villain, how Pass Without Trace can transform ordinary goblins into a tactical nightmare, and why Dungeon Masters should give enemy spellcasters clever strategies without simply making the players miserable. RPGBOT.Podcast Episodes The Abyss Arborea Archeron Arcadia The Beastlands Bytopia Carceri Celestia Elysium The Ethereal Plane The Feywild Gehenna Hades Hell Part 1 Hell Part 2 Limbo Mechanus Pandemonium Plane of Air Plane of Fire Shadowfell Key Takeaways Pandemonium is an environmental threat before combat even begins. Darkness, deafening winds, madness, and unpredictable gravity can challenge a party without requiring constant monster encounters. The plane contains four layers: Pandesmos, Cocytus, Phlegethon, and Agathion. Each becomes more difficult to navigate, survive, or pronounce. The wind does more than make noise. It carries voices, screams, threats, and other sounds from across history, creating an endless supernatural chorus capable of destroying a traveler's sanity. Navigation is nearly impossible when characters can walk along cave walls and ceilings and rivers can flow in whatever direction they feel like flowing. Most of Pandemonium's inhabitants are exiles, prisoners, refugees, or creatures that arrived accidentally and cannot leave. Nobody appears to have moved there because of the excellent schools. Agathion's sealed pockets make excellent prisons, vaults, and adventure locations for ancient beings that absolutely should not be awakened. The River Styx and Pandemonium's portals provide possible escape routes, but memory loss, random destinations, and ambush predators make every option terrible in a different way. Pandemonium works best when the plane itself feels like the primary antagonist. The monsters should be additional complications, not the only source of danger. Enemy illusionists can create memorable encounters, but Dungeon Masters should apply the same standards to NPC illusions that they apply to player illusions. Smart enemies using stealth, terrain, traps, and spells such as Pass Without Trace can turn supposedly weak creatures into serious threats without artificially increasing their statistics.

This week: has Andy Burnham really brought change to Downing Street – or merely repackaged Labour's old guard? Has Ed Miliband been sidelined by being sent to the Foreign Office, a ‘non-job' in which he can do little harm? The panel also asks whether Burnham is prepared to make the difficult decisions required of a prime minister – and why the Conservatives have been so reluctant to demand a general election.Also: is America's socialist left taking over the Democratic party? Candidates backed by the Democratic Socialists of America are gaining ground, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may be underestimated as a future presidential nominee and parts of the radical left are beginning to embrace gun ownership. Could Bernie Sanders have beaten Donald Trump in 2016 – had the Democrats not chosen ‘the only person who could conceivably lose' to him?Plus: who really blew up the Nord Stream pipeline? The accepted account holds that a small band of Ukrainians carried out one of the most sophisticated acts of sabotage in recent history. But does the evidence look less like a professional intelligence operation than ‘somebody establishing an alibi'?Produced by Patrick Gibbons, Oscar Edmondson and Gareth Roy. Hosted on Acast.

Abe Gordon and Madison Crews do their best to make sense of what happened after Atlanta United stormed back against Charlotte FC in the second half to pull out a draw after trailing two goals at halftime, despite some questionable officiating...again.

Courageous Faith in Chaotic Times: How to Stand When You Don't Understand Pastor Dave Dechape sermon notes

You already know the world doesn't get you, and it never will. ADHD isn't the problem — the world has a problem with your brain. This episode is confirmation you're not doing it wrong.   In This Episode: Why ADHD entrepreneurs get stuck chasing chaos (and how it's actually safety) The cost of measuring yourself on society's measuring stick Building out-of-the-book businesses as an ADHD Entrepreneur   What You'll Take Away: ADHD isn't your whole identity — it's just one part, and it's not the issue Chaotic systems feel like "home" for ADHD brains, even when they're burning you out People-pleasing + urgency can destroy your schedule (and energy) You can't outgrind burnout — boundaries win, guilt or not You're only failing on society's measuring stick, not yours   GUEST BIONicole Solitar is a program advisor and team coach at Strategic Coach. She kicked The Impulsive Thinker® podcast into existence and returns to call out what matters for ADHD Entrepreneurs.   Nicole Solitar appears courtesy of Strategic Coach®. Strategic Coach® is a registered trademarks of The Strategic Coach Inc. All rights reserved.   ABOUT THIS EPISODE This episode of The Impulsive Thinker® blows up the lie that you need to fix your ADHD to succeed as an entrepreneur. The Impulsive Thinker® and Nicole Solitar rip into why boredom, chaos, and two-week time horizons shred neurodivergent businesses. You'll hear why the ADHD brain is wired for interest, not importance — and why that wrecks you when you measure progress by society's standards. The real talk covers time blindness, chaos as a "safe" place, and the burnout that comes from chronic people-pleasing. Listen if you're tired of pretending you're the problem. You're not. Hit play if you're done measuring yourself by a system that was never built for you. Email me about it at andre@theimpulsivethinker.com. Remember — ADHD failure is measured on society's measuring stick. Not yours. Your brain runs on interest, not importance. That's not a flaw. That's a different operating system. ADHD is not a deficit. It's a difference.  

Charles Spicer describes how, during the 1937 coronation of George VI, Ribbentrop hosted a chaotic, overcrowded party at the German embassy. Despite the champagne-fueled festivities, the event was a social failure that highlighted the growing friction between the two cultures. Meanwhile, Vansittart realized the traditional intelligence services had poor access to the Nazi leadership. He established a parallel network—"Van's Detective Agency"—utilizing Christie and Conwell-Evans as private intelligence sources. Conwell-Evans, previously optimistic, underwent a total volte-face in 1937, bravely shifting his focus to gathering intelligence through his high-level German networks to warn the Britishgovernment.

Every day that I jump in the ocean and body surf the waves… I catch myself just watching the waves. Observing like the novice I am. Wave after wave after wave.Each one completely different.And I remember thinking..."Man... life is just like the ocean."Some weeks everything seems to be going your way. Smooth. Fun. Euphoric.Other weeks it feels like you're getting knocked around and just trying to keep your head above water. Chaotic. Scary. No control. Some days you're riding the wave.Some days you're swimming against the rip current.But the longer I have spent swimming out there...the more I realize something.The ocean isn't broken because it has waves. It's not somehow wrong when it's chaotic and scary.That's exactly what the ocean is supposed to do.Maybe...our lives aren't broken either.Maybe we've just forgotten that they're supposed to come in waves.And that's what I want to talk about today.Resources:Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

Summer is often a time when plans, schedules and routines go out the window. And let's be real... Often, the first things to go are some of our spiritual practices and self care rituals. But Summer is here to remind us that being present in the moment with Nature, community and ourselves is one of the most important goals we can have.

This week, Dylan kicks things off with news about which Bravolebs are surprise Emmy nominees this year. He also takes a look at the upcoming season of Married At First Sight, which could be summer's next dating show fixation once Love Island wraps up. From there, he digs into the season premiere of RHOC, marking 20 years of California chaos. Like most of those years, Tamra starts the season in the hot seat, and Vicki Gunvalson's return is slightly delayed by… immigration paperwork? After breaking down the OC dynamics, Dylan turns his attention to Next Gen NYC, where a chaotic girls/guys night situation feels like a step up for the sophomore series. And over in Connecticut, In The City's Friendsgiving trip gets off to a rocky start, with Lindsay activated, Kyle and Amanda fighting (again), and some new bone carriers doing the lord's work.
