It had chosen her voice—and only needed to use it once.#ParanormalPodcast #MimicVoice #VoiceImitation #Paranormal #ItCalledMyName #FamiliarVoice #Mimic #HauntedHouseStory #UnexplainedEncounter #ParanormalExperience #TargetedExperience #DisembodiedVoice #VoiceFromNowhere #UnseenEntityLove real ghost stories?

Late nights, young kids, the kind of routine that comes with being woken up over and over again. Nothing about it felt unusual at first. Until it stopped lining up.The sounds were specific.

We love the support, and we really truly are here to give the world of dentistry as much as we possibly can. So keep listening. Go back through the archives. There's a million podcasts that you can listen to.   There's a ton of free resources on our website as well, TheDentalATeam.com. And gosh, we have webinars, we have all kinds of stuff.

Go head to our website, TheDentalATeam.com. There's links all over the place there. Or reach out to us, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. We'll get you more information. So for those of you who are new here,   I'm Tiffanie. For those of you who have been here for a long time and you're like, who is this chick? I'm Tiffanie. I am a consultant here with the Dental A Team and I have Ms. Kristy here with me today as well. She is a stellar consultant here with us. She has years and years of amazing experience within consulting, office management, billing, treatment coordinating, all the pieces the list goes on, as well as some other fun facts that we won't like dive into today.   ⁓ but she has some other really cool jobs she's held within her lifetime as well. So Kristy, welcome. I appreciate you being here today. How are you?   The Dental A Team (01:31) Good, thank you. It's always a good day when we get to podcast and help our clients out through our podcast tip and hearing the results when they comment and how we've been able to help. So it's always fun to dig in and tackle another topic with you.   The Dental A Team (01:48) I agree. I agree and I thank you for that. can say, gosh, Kiera had this awesome idea. Kiera, our CEO and our founder, she does a lot of the podcasts here. If you're new, you'll hear her a ton. She had this amazing idea. Gosh, I should know how old this podcast is, but I do not. I have been here the whole time and I do not know how old it is. That's okay. Years and years ago, Kiera came to me with a great idea and her famous line is, Tiff, I have a great idea.   The Dental A Team (01:51) Peace.   The Dental A Team (02:15) and I remember her coming to me and she's like, we have to do a podcast. And I was like, oh my God, that sounds amazing. I don't know what that means. I don't know how to do it. I assume you'll figure it out. And she did. we, I just have to say this podcast has turned into something that we never imagined that it would turn into. It has reached so many more people than we ever imagined possible. We did the podcast, we decided we wanted to put it out into the world because we really wanted to expand our reach. truly.   wanted to expand the reach that we had within the community that we had, because we only have our handful of people that we can reach. And we said, there's gotta be more and we wanna give the world of dentistry and businesses alike free information. And we love talking. So this is great. We're just gonna do this. And Kristy, it's just been so cool to watch it morph over the years and become just this incredible tool. And I have to say,   I mean, I'm making this number up. I'm just off the top of my head guessing. If I were to pull the ROI on new clients and even just like new inquiries to Dental A Team, at minimum 90 % come from the podcast and or a referral from a current client. And I just, I wanna say thank you to our community first and foremost and to our team.   whether it's consultants or marketing or admin, like we have an incredible team and our community of people who are clients, past, current, future, community of people who are just listeners. You guys are supporting something that's just reaching so many people. We have Canadian clients. We had someone reach out to us from Australia. Like we've got people listening all over the world and it's just really cool. And Kristy, I wanted to take a moment to recognize that because they just...   One, I think it goes along, it aligns with our topic today. And two, I really want to show massive appreciation and respect for everyone involved in reaching a community that you guys don't even realize you're reaching with. Every subscribe, every listen, every download, it creates more motivation within the podcast world. So we show up more the more you guys share and you guys watch, which means you're promoting   more people to see and hear really valuable information. it's just super cool. And Kristy, today we're talking about, well, we're talking about right seat, right person, which we've talked about before. And more importantly, we're talking about how someone in the wrong seat, right, it can ruin the right person. And I say that this is relatable to that statement because Kiera and I love presenting.   The Dental A Team (04:49) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (05:07) Like it's a huge passion of ours to get in front of people and share our experiences, share our knowledge, share what we've been through so that somebody doesn't have to take that same route and we can say, do this instead. Like we are so passionate about it and putting us in that seat has exponentially grown Dental A Team. Eve, we know Eve, we love her. I actually made her do a podcast with me.   And if no one has seen that podcast, you should go watch it, subscribe, give a five star review, give her all the praise and all the fame. is one of our behind the scenes marketing people. She is behind the scenes. Most marketers are behind the scenes. They do not like to be in front of the scenes. And Kristy, could you imagine if we took Eve, who's a behind the scenes gal, she's got a ton of energy, you guys. She is...   The Dental A Team (05:56) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (06:00) a phenomenal human, I love her, I wanna spend every day with her. But making her do the podcast every day, right? It wouldn't work and it would change who she is. Or putting me, and I told you before we started this podcast, I can do billing, I'm great at billing, I hate billing, and it kills my soul. Every second of time that I'm spending entering.   The Dental A Team (06:00) Thank ⁓   Mm-hmm.   The Dental A Team (06:26) an insurance payment and calling on an insurance claim. There are people that were built for it and there are people that were not built for it. And it kills my soul every second I have to spend with it because I want to talk to people. I want to engage and I get stifled. So I say all of that to say, make sure we've got right person, right seat, right people, right seat. So Kristy, what are your thoughts on right people, right seat and all of the information I just decided to throw out everybody?   The Dental A Team (06:52) Yeah,   I could totally envision Eve and you guys, Tiff's right. She's the person you want in the car with you on a long drive because you're going to laugh and laugh. But I guarantee you if we had her in the wrong seat, she would not be making us laugh. We'd be crying for sure. Yeah, for sure. 100%.   The Dental A Team (07:13) Yeah, we would. Yeah, with her. We'd be crying with her.   The Dental A Team (07:19) I think so many times, Tiff, I do see this happen and ⁓ it usually starts with leadership holding them back. They're like, no, they're doing such a great job. I can't move them. I can't put them anywhere else. And truly, like, I understand that from a selfish standpoint, but we're holding back the practice too and that person when we do that. So.   I think if you've been in dentistry or leadership long enough, we've all seen that happen. 100%. Yeah.   The Dental A Team (07:50) for sure, yeah.   And then we wonder too, like gosh, if later on, right, the person leaves or we just, it's not just right anymore. And we often wonder what if I had moved sooner or what did I miss? What did I do wrong? And that's the space of right person, right seat. When the right, when the person, you have the right person, right person I think is easy.   I think you know when you have a right person or not. You're like, this person, I want to be around this person. I want them working with my patients. I want them working with the rest of the team. They help us thrive. That's the right person. Okay, the right person isn't just the person who knows how to collect money from the patients, but then like talks crap about the team behind their back. That's not the right person, right? Like, yeah, cool. She's collecting money from our patients or I've even seen him. This one kind of sucks. This one's hard.   The Dental A Team (08:28) Mm-hmm.   The Dental A Team (08:46) I've even seen it, the patients love her. She's phenomenal and my collections is so clean, but she's really mean to all of my team. And she won't actually do the things I ask her to, but my collections is so clean and my patients would maybe leave if she wasn't here. That one's really hard, but you've got to evaluate your right.   The Dental A Team (08:57) Mm-hmm.   The Dental A Team (09:13) person and is your right person right for something or is your right person right for everything? Right?   The Dental A Team (09:20) Right?   Well, and I think that's why we always start with identifying the role and the seat. I always joke with everybody, the right person, right seat. I almost think it should be right seat, right person, right? In that order instead of the other, because again, there's a lot of great people, truly great, phenomenal people, but they may not fit the characteristics of that seat, so to speak. And Tiff, I would say,   The Dental A Team (09:26) Yes.   Mm-hmm.   Yes.   The Dental A Team (09:48) Truly getting down to finding the right person, right seat is number one, identifying the seat. But also, I tie it back to how often are you meeting with your team to find out what their desires are? What do they like doing? What do they not like doing? Where do they see themselves in the next year? Because so many times you can uncover things that you didn't even know. Like, heaven forbid one time I had a client where literally, I mean,   whoever finds this, but they found a clinical team member that liked making re-care calls. mean, who likes making re-care calls? Everybody's like, it. And if you have that person and they like doing it, why don't you find a way to let them do it? Because they're going to have great results.   The Dental A Team (10:23) haha   Yeah, yeah.   Yeah, yeah, I agree. I've   actually had that before too where a clinical team member, dental assistant is like, I love making re-care calls. And I'm like, great, we're gonna put you in the lab with a phone and you're gonna make so many re-care calls and you're gonna love it. And she's like, yes, cause she just wants to have a piece of that administrative puzzle, right? For whatever reason, we all wanted to be a teacher at some point in our childhood and we love highlighters, we love pens and we want all the paper and we want all the post-its sticky notes.   The Dental A Team (10:51) Thank   The Dental A Team (11:04) give them to them, right? Like, yes, I totally agree. And I agree with the right position. So understanding, I think, what you want out of that position is key because then you're gonna be able to understand the type of person. Now, right person means, right person means they fit your standards, they fit your core values, they fit your why, they fit your team, they fit your goals and your aspirations, and they fit the position. So,   I think the easiest one, it might be just because it's kind of how I operate, the easiest one for me to tag is the billing representative because I can take myself and I've done the positions. I can take myself and I can see it. And I want you guys to hear me. I want you to see me. If you're not driving right now, like watch this, like see who I am and how I'm showing up because that person being stuck behind a computer, head down in spreadsheets and line items and   checks, right? Like that type of a person or like, hey, you owe me money. Like that type of a person might be a different personality that outgoing, like I want to give all my energy to other people. Personality is phenomenal at podcasting, just kidding, but really, it's phenomenal at like, I'd treatment coordinating, right? Or dental assisting. I loved dental assistant. It was my favorite position or   when I was a dental assistant and my office manager said, you know what, she knows all of the patients, she builds a relationship initially, she needs to be at check-in. And I thrived at check-in and I was like, heck yeah. And then all of sudden I'm collecting money at check-in and I'm like, hey guys, let's make your office visit easier. And I'm jumping up and doing limiteds and I'm just coordinating everything from the check-in space because they saw that that could elevate the patient's experience immediately. So was I thriving as an assistant and did I do well? For sure.   but the office manager saw that there was a gap in the relationship that I was filling as an assistant. I had to fill that gap and work double time to get patients back to where we wanted them and then ahead on their patient experience. So I was overcoming the gap that we were seeing at the check-in space by just being double. And it was exhausting. And she saw that. She said, you're doing it, but you're working double. So what if we put you here?   and you do that and we lose that gap. So now we close the gap and your assistants are trained to continue that experience. So that was like both are right seat, but they saw an opportunity where wrong person was in that seat. And that person was more suited for insurance verification. She was shy. She didn't wanna talk to people. She was like, what's your last name? And patients are like, ⁓ hi, I was here yesterday.   You know, and she's like, okay, but she's like stressed. It's like, she's a good person and she suits our team and she helps us thrive, but she's scared, intimidated and overwhelmed at check-in. Can we just move her? We want to keep her. Is there a position suited for that personality? Because what happens is that's the right person, wrong seat. And that's what we're talking about today. How the wrong seat can ruin the right person because she had the personality   The Dental A Team (13:58) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (14:28) and this is just my experience in my office, she had the personality for our team to be successful with her, but we had her in a position that was like, sometimes I just feel like they're like in a bowl, you know, and they put the lid on it, and that's what she, we were just like closing the lid, and she was just getting smaller, and we needed to move her to a space where she could thrive, and also increase our patient experience. So.   The Dental A Team (14:54) Mm-hmm.   The Dental A Team (14:56) Kristy, when you see this with practices, how do you help practices identify, there's not always a move, by the way. There's not always an open position and that's okay too. We have conversations around that. But how do you help offices identify wrong seat? It might even be the right person, but wrong seat. What are some spaces? I know for me, I'm looking at like metrics and are they showing up for work? But how do you help them identify those?   The Dental A Team (15:19) Yeah.   Yeah. Tiff, I always like to go back to the job description and look at those duties first and foremost, look at the duties and see are the duties being taken care of, but then also add in your core values. And those are kind of duties too. We have to live up to those metrics. And if it's not aligning, then take a step back. Were they aligning before and maybe they're not now, right? Meaning maybe we changed them into something that   wrong person. And so we just need to get it realigned, ⁓ truly starting there and then having the conversation. But here's the thing. also think sometimes we're afraid to have those conversations. And again, I always like to say it instead of having it as a hard conversation, seeing it as a caring conversation, because you truly are probably freeing them.   and letting them go be happy if they're not in the right seat. And you're gonna have a lot more respect for each other by having the hard conversation, right? And like you said, identify is there another seat that that person would be suited for. But then, from that, learn from that experience and take a step back to identify how we could have hired this differently so we don't make that same mistake.   The Dental A Team (16:30) Yeah.   Mm-hmm.   Yeah, I love those options. I love that. Yeah, I think some pieces, some spaces that you guys can mull on to know, because I know a lot of doctors are like, I don't know, and I feel like sometimes she's on, sometimes she's off, and it's inconsistent. Inconsistency is a clue, okay? Inconsistency is a massive clue.   The Dental A Team (17:04) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (17:07) It could be a clue to overwhelm as well. I think that's where, know, Kristy, like you said, go back to that job description. So are we satisfying and fulfilling the job description? And then are we satisfying and fulfilling more than the job description? And is that because the job description needs to be updated or is it because we need to   is a good question. So overwhelm, inconsistency, underperformance.   And then I would say another space is gonna be, I guess the inconsistency you can apply to a lot of things. So inconsistency in personality, how she or he is showing up. Inconsistency on showing up, are they coming to work, are they late, are they calling out a lot, are they sick a lot, sickness, illness is a symptom of overwhelm. Are they inconsistent in their results? So maybe their results are that,   our hygiene schedule is full to 90 % for the next two weeks. And it's like sometimes it's on, sometimes it's way off and our whole day fell apart and they did nothing about it. But today our whole day fell apart and they did everything about it. So they're inconsistent there. ⁓ Sadness, snippiness, like you're gonna see it in the personality pretty quickly. That's gonna show up pretty easily. And then realistically you guys, I've really.   I guess this is like my woo-woo side, I'll call it. I really think the universe gives us exactly what we've asked for. If we're not hitting our goals and our metrics, our production isn't working, our collections isn't working, all of those spaces, there's a space that something's not working and it could be someone's in the wrong   The Dental A Team (18:47) I was gonna say too, Tiff, if it's somebody like we talked about Eve, we didn't maybe put a pin in it, but that is normally outgoing and they're withdrawn. That could be a sign too. And truly, like I said, embrace it and have a caring conversation because a lot of times we can find a way to overcome it. And if not, at least you can come up with a plan together that feels right.   to get them to the happiness. And you're gonna have a lot more respect for each other on the other side.   The Dental A Team (19:18) I totally agree. Yeah, and I say that too about ⁓ wrong people. And if they're the wrong person for you, you're the wrong person for them too. And that's okay. In any relationship,   that's my plug. It goes far outside of dentistry.   The Dental A Team (19:30) Yeah, it's so true.   The Dental A Team (19:36) I love that. love that. think action items from here so that you can ensure that   not   doing either of these, we're not ruining someone is what we'll call it, we're not putting people in the wrong seat, is I think following Kristy's lead there is really looking at job descriptions. Are they complete and are they usable? Are the people who are using them, using them correctly? So job descriptions, metrics, get your right person right. Do you know what your right person is and what that needs to look like?   and then do a simple evaluation. Are we hitting the metrics that we're supposed to? Does your team know their metrics   their job description? And do they have the skill set and the capabilities to accomplish them?   The Dental A Team (20:22) I with you, Tiff. And I think too, ⁓ I always am on the space of extreme ownership. So if there's anything that I could have done better in my onboarding of that person, I mean, I go literally to if their job is to answer the phone, do we just say one of your jobs is to answer the phone? Or do we say one of your jobs is to answer the phone and this is how you do it? We hear the smile, we hear, because again, if it's not matching their personality, it gives them the opportunity to say it right now.   So.   The Dental A Team (20:52) Totally   agree.   love it. Take these pieces and run with them. Give us a five star review below. Let us know. I think Kristy, you had   incredible ideas today. Thank you so much. I love the job description. It literally starts there. It starts just like Simon's next says, it starts with Y. Your job description is your Y. Your Y and your what. So go get those together. Follow through with your team. Clear as kind. Okay, clear as kind.   The Dental A Team (21:15) Thanks   The Dental A Team (21:17) And remember, if it's not good for you, it's not good for them either. So let's figure out what's good, let's figure out what's working and what's not working, and nail those suckers in.

I always download them, Kristy, before I get on flights, because I get bored.

If you've been going back and forth on the "should I stay or should I go" question, you already know how exhausting it is. You try to think your way to an answer. You second-guess yourself. And still — you feel stuck. In this episode, Karen McMahon is going to help you begin to find real clarity — not just talk you through the feelings, but give you a different way of looking at what's actually happening in your marriage and inside yourself. Because spinning in your head isn't working. And you're tired. After years of guiding men and women through this exact place, Karen has seen what keeps people stuck — and what finally helps them move forward with confidence. She walks you through why patterns over time, not isolated moments, are what tell the real story of your relationship, and the signals worth paying attention to: the exhaustion, the emotional depletion, the feeling of being unseen or unheard, of living in survival mode rather than real partnership. Karen also challenges something that might be hard to hear — that what feels like confusion is often fear in disguise. Fear about finances, your kids, being alone, or living with regret someday. She'll help you name those fears, look at the patterns honestly, and start weighing actions against promises rather than hopes against history. This episode includes some powerful reflective questions too — including what your children are really learning from watching your relationship, and how love has actually felt over the last two years. And if you're waiting to feel completely certain before you take a step forward, Karen offers you this: certainty may never come, but your next right step absolutely can.

When your child breaks a rule or misbehaves, do you feel unsure what consequences to impose? Do you avoid discipline altogether, or worry your responses are too harsh? Dr. Ruston talks about this with Tammy Fisher Huson, PhD, a beloved school counselor, trainer of counselors, and the author of two books: Fearless Parenting and There's Always Something Going Right. Tammy provides a roadmap for addressing broken rules and digs into consequences for real scenarios. For example, when a teen spends excessive time with an AI companion through video gaming, another who secretly subscribed to Snapchat Plus on a parent's credit card, and a child who lies about homework. Huson also offers advice to parents when their kid gets into trouble at school.   Expert: Tammy Fisher Huson, PhD   Books: Fearless Parenting, Stepping Into Life's Greatest Role Using The Nurtured Heart Approach by Tammy Fisher Huson There's Always Something Going Right: Workbook for Creating Truly Great Schools by Tammy Fisher Huson and Louisa Triandis   Additional Resources: Data From 50 States: Teachers See Student Behavior as a Significant Problem, in Education Week, March 13, 2026 Screenagers Website Bring Screenagers to Your Community   Time Code: 00:00 Welcome and Topic Setup 01:53 Consequences as Privileges 03:34 Partnering With Schools 06:22 Snap Plus Credit Card Lesson 07:49 Let Teens Choose Consequences 12:52 Sponsor Break Screenagers Films 13:42 Homework Lies and Curiosity 15:41 Menu of Choices and Earning Back 19:13 AI Companions and Tough Limits 23:25 Village Support and Wrap Up 25:27 Final Thanks and Subscribe

Cooking Up Your One-of-a-Kind Signature Offer: The Four Ingredients for SuccessGuest: Deborah C. Smith, Marketing Strategist and Holistic Business Coach Host: Julie RigaOverviewWhat does it really take to build a signature offer that sells, scales, and sets you free? In this episode, Julie Riga sits down with Deborah C. Smith, a marketing strategist, holistic business coach, and host of the Mindset to Market Podcast, to break down four essential ingredients every purpose-driven entrepreneur needs to craft a one-of-a-kind offer. This conversation is your blueprint for intentional growth rooted in clarity, joy, and your unique story.Cooking Up Your One-of-a-Kind Signature Offer: The Four Ingredients for SuccessAbout Deborah C. SmithDeborah C. Smith is a marketing strategist and holistic business coach who helps purpose-driven entrepreneurs build simple marketing and sales systems that allow them to scale with ease. With two decades of self-employed experience, she hosts the Mindset to Market Podcast. Deborah and Julie met at PodFest, forming an instant friendship built on purpose and authentic leadership.Fun Fact: Every morning, Deborah hard boils two eggs topped with green salsa hot sauce. Perfect, perfect breakfast.The Four Essential Ingredients of a Signature OfferIngredient 1: Alignment with Your Unique Skills, Story, and Lived ExperienceYour signature offer must be rooted in who you genuinely are. It is the intersection of your expertise, your journey, and your lived experience. The goal is to speak to your audience problem in a way that only you can. This is the foundation of authentic leadership and a personal brand built to last.Ingredient 2: It Solves a Clear, Tangible, and Urgent ProblemDeborah introduces the house on fire analogy. When a house is burning, nobody hesitates. Your offer must speak to that same urgency. In online marketing, you have only seconds to capture attention, so you must speak to the right-now problem. People buy to get out of pain and move toward greater fulfillment.Ingredient 3: A Simple, Repeatable ProcessA signature offer is not a collection of skills. It is a system. A clear, step-by-step process is the key to your freedom as a business owner and your audience ability to trust what working with you looks like. Every service has a process behind it, and that is where your real value lives.Ingredient 4: It Lights You UpThe most overlooked ingredient is joy. If your offer does not genuinely excite you, it will be nearly impossible to sell. Sales is energetic, built on relationships, trust, and authentic connection. Chase the thing that feels like your purpose, and the results will follow.Memorable Quotes"A signature offer is not a random batch of skills. It is a very clear, compelling, and process-driven thing that you create yourself.""If you love it, you will find you can sell anything on the internet.""Sales is energetic. It is about relationships, trust, and connection."Key TakeawaysClarity is the foundation. Get clear on your who, what, and why first.Solve what is urgent. Speak to the problem your audience feels right now.Build a repeatable system. A consistent process turns expertise into a scalable offer.Chase the joy. Your fulfillment is a business asset, not a luxury.Your story is your strategy. Own your lived experience because no one else can.Connect with Deborah C.

Most Christians struggle not with ignoring God, but with failing to act on His clear direction. Through Abraham's servant in Genesis 24, we see the power of immediate obedience over personal comfort. After traveling 700 miles to find Isaac a wife, the servant refused even a meal until completing his mission. This demonstrates that delay is not neutral - when we know what's right but don't act, it becomes sin. God's will isn't mysterious; He calls us to walk in holiness, imitate Christ, live with gratitude, and love God and others. The question isn't whether you know God's will, but what's holding you back from obeying what He's already made clear.CLICK ME: Sermon Outline⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TIKTOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YOUTUBE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

This week on The Expansion Pass, we're breaking down one of the most important shifts happening in gaming right now. Is Xbox Game Pass becoming too expensive? New data shows subscription spending is rising fast—but Xbox leadership is already signaling concern about pricing and long-term value. Meanwhile, PlayStation continues its steady approach with PS Plus, and Nintendo's Switch 2 is helping drive major hardware growth. We also dive into Metro 2039's reveal and how real-world events are shaping its story in a major way.

Send us Fan MailTrying to conceive can turn into a crash course in hormones overnight, and the medication list can feel like a different language. We slow it down and translate what fertility medications actually do in the body, why midwives still need to understand them even when we are not the prescribers, and how to support patients through the stress that often comes with IUI, IVF, and “why is this taking so long?” moments. We walk through the most common reason fertility care starts: ovulation problems. From anovulation and PCOS to the sometimes overlooked conversation about luteal phase length and early progesterone support, we talk about what might be happening on the HPO axis and what clinicians are trying to change with treatment. Then we break down the big names patients hear, including Clomid (clomiphene citrate) and letrozole (Femara), comparing how they work, what side effects to expect, and why practice has shifted toward letrozole for many people with PCOS and insulin-related hormonal patterns. We also dig into metformin and insulin resistance, because PCOS is not just “about weight” and fertility care should not be built on shame. Finally, we zoom out to the broader IVF medication lineup, including gonadotropin injections, GnRH agonist or antagonist protocols like Lupron, the hCG trigger shot, and progesterone support. We end with practical safety counseling, including multiples risk and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome warning signs, plus clear guidance on when it is time to refer to reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI). #FertilityMeds #PathToPregnancy #TTC #NavigatingFertility #PharmacologyForMidwives  #ConceptionSupport #ReproductiveEndocrinology #EvidenceBasedMidwifery #InfertilityCare

In this episode, Mark Gillmore reports from Uganda, where the gospel is breaking through long-standing religious strongholds and transforming lives. Through the testimonies of Pastor Michael and Pastor John, we see how God is raising up faithful men, establishing churches, and multiplying the truth across communities. Uganda is not just another mission field—it is a harvest field that is ready right now. Topics Discussed Pastor Michael's journey from religious compromise to biblical conviction The cost of standing for truth, including rejection and excommunication The early struggles of preaching the gospel in resistant religious environments The transformation of Uganda's spiritual landscape over the past 30 years Pastor John's vision for training men to plant churches and reach rural communities The multiplication model of ministry based on 2 Timothy 2:2 The role of radio ministry in reaching people trapped in false religion The importance of training local leaders in their own language and context The need to prioritize doctrinal clarity over mere religious activity The urgency of laborers entering a harvest that is already ripe Key Takeaways The harvest in Uganda is not future, it is present. God is already at work drawing people to Himself. Obedience to truth may come at a cost, but it is the pathway to real fruit. Gospel advance depends on training faithful men who will teach others also. Indigenous leadership is essential for lasting, multiplying ministry. Religious activity without truth leaves people lost. Clear gospel preaching is still needed. God uses simple, faithful efforts to break through even deeply rooted strongholds. There is a real and urgent opportunity to be part of what God is doing in Uganda today. Do you have a story of gospel advance or a burden for a specific people group? We'd love to hear it.

How To Repair Relationships & Create Lasting Emotional Connection https://offer.personaldevelopmentschool.com/relationship-repair?utm_source=podcast&utm_campaign=relationship-repair&utm_medium=organic&utm_content=pod-04-17-26&el=podcast Sometimes it can be incredibly confusing to figure out whether someone is a Dismissive Avoidant who needs time to open up or whether they're simply not that interested in the relationship. Both situations can look similar on the surface, lukewarm communication, mixed signals, or slow progress. But there are very clear differences between someone who is Avoidant but invested and someone who is breadcrumbing. Understanding the difference between Avoidant Attachment and a lack of interest can save you a lot of confusion and emotional energy in dating. Episode Summary In this episode, Thais Gibson explains how Dismissive Avoidant behave when they are genuinely interested in someone and shares the key signs that someone may actually be breadcrumbing you instead. In this video, you'll learn: •  How Dismissive Avoidant behave when they're genuinely interested in a relationship •  The key difference between slow emotional warming and breadcrumbing behavior •  Four major signs that someone may be breadcrumbing you •  Why consistency and effort matter more than labels or Attachment Styles •  What to do if someone's actions aren't meeting your relationship standards Key Takeaways ✔️ Dismissive Avoidant may be slower to warm up but still show consistent effort ✔️ Someone who is interested will initiate contact and make plans regularly ✔️ Breadcrumbing often shows up as chronic inconsistency in time, attention, and plans ✔️ Last-minute responses and lack of acknowledgment for missed communication can be red flags ✔️ Clear personal standards help you decide whether a relationship is meeting your needs ✔️ Understanding your own boundaries can prevent you from staying in unhealthy dynamics Meet the Host Thais Gibson is the founder of The Personal Development School and a world leader in attachment theory. With a Ph.D. and over a dozen certifications, she's helped more than 70,000 people reprogram their subconscious and build thriving relationships. Helpful Resources:

Copying text out of one AI tool and pasting it back into your real work is already starting to feel like the “old way.” I'm Steve Brown, and I walk through why Google Gemini 3 feels like a turning point: it's not just another chatbot, it's AI embedded inside Google Workspace and Chrome so it can help right where you're building, writing, presenting, and deciding. We dig into the practical shift from ChatGPT's first-mover advantage to Gemini's built-in, next-to-your-cursor experience. I show how I can take raw information and generate a more polished visual inside Google Slides, including infographic-style layouts and quick refinements. If you lead a team, you know the real problem isn't having data, it's communicating the meaning. Clear visuals and story-driven structure can unify a room fast, and integrated generative AI makes that easier to produce on demand. Then we get hands-on with AI productivity in Google Sheets, using Gemini to create tables, draft structured data, and iterate without getting bogged down in spreadsheet setup. I also talk about multimodal AI: uploading a photo of handwritten notes and having Gemini organize them into a clean outline. Finally, I demonstrate Gemini in Chrome reading the current tab to coach you through tools you don't use every day, like ClickUp, and even helping you make sense of confusing option menus in complex setups. If you want faster workflows, clearer leadership communication, and fewer interruptions to your team, this is a strong place to start. Subscribe, share this with a friend who's still stuck in copy-and-paste mode, and leave a review with the biggest task you want AI embedded into next.Support the show

Leadership Lessons from the Kitchen: The Three C's Every Great Leader NeedsWhat does cooking have to do with building a business? Everything. Julie Riga sits down with Sutton C. McCraney and Lace Flowers, co-founders of the Flavor Room, to explore how kitchen wisdom transforms the way leaders lead and grow. From curry goat to lamb biryani, this conversation is packed with purpose, authenticity, and real talk that leaders need. This episode is a masterclass in intentional, purpose-driven leadership.Leadership Lessons from the Kitchen: The Three C's Every Great Leader NeedsGuests: Sutton C. McCraney and Lace Flowers, Co-Founders of The Flavor Room Host: Julie RigaAbout the GuestsLace Flowers is a British Jamaican home cook and co-founder of the Flavor Room and Empire Kitchen, based in South America, with over 18 years of research into what happens when foundational culture is missing inside organizations. Sutton C. McCraney is a U.S. Air Force veteran and entrepreneur based in Morocco whose background in discipline shapes her approach to building ecosystems rooted in equity. Favorite foods: curry goat for Lace, lamb biryani for Sutton.About the Flavor RoomThe Flavor Room is an invite-only leadership ecosystem for founders and CEOs of color, not a coaching program, mastermind, or networking group. It is a curated space built on mutual benefit, high standards, and authentic connection, represented across five countries. The vision: bring your flavor, build your influence. No performance. Just authentic leaders showing up as themselves.The ResearchSutton and Lace published "Legit: Redefining Equity, Leadership and Influence in Online Business," tackling the illusion of inclusion, ethics in sales and marketing, hidden systems such as care labor and access to resources, and the future of online business. Their findings produced the Legit Business Standards Framework, now deployed with business owners and organizations worldwide.The Three C's: Ingredients for LeadershipClarity - You cannot prepare a meal without knowing what you are making. The same applies in business. Clarity does not come from endless planning. It comes from doing. Stop creating content in isolation. Start selling. Get the buy-in early and refine as you go."You do not get clarity from endless planning. You get clarity by doing." - Lace FlowersCommunication - Even a solo cook must communicate with themselves, their recipe, and their timing. In business, communication means clear systems so every team member knows what they are doing, when, and why. Clear communication creates cohesive results and satisfied people at the end of the table."The first person you need to communicate with effectively is yourself." - Lace FlowersConsistency - Julie visited a different Outback Steakhouse and felt the drop in quality immediately. Consistency builds trust and creates a revolving door of repeat clients and referrals. People trust people they already trust, and that trust is earned one consistent interaction at a time."People trust people they already trust." - Lace FlowersKey TakeawaysClarity is your foundation. Get clear on your vision and systems before anything else.Communication starts with yourself. Know your recipe, then share it with your team.Consistency builds legacy. The standard you maintain is what people return for.Authenticity outlasts ad budgets. Values and standards are your real competitive advantage.You are not in competition with anyone but yourself.ConnectWebsite: www.theflavor.bizPodcast: Fully Flavored Business Podcast on Spotify, Amazon, iHeart, and all major platforms.

Great communication isn't about saying more—it's about making what you say matter.If we want to communicate more effectively, we need to treat communication less like a habit—and more like a series of intentional choices. In this special feed drop, we're featuring a conversation from the ⁠Masters of Scale⁠ podcast, where host ⁠Jeff Berman⁠ sits down with Stanford lecturer and ⁠Think Fast, Talk Smart ⁠host Matt Abrahams to explore what it really takes to communicate with intention.Most of us default to what feels natural—long-winded openings, generic pitches, or focusing on what we want to say. But as Matt explains, effective communication starts with the audience. Get to the point quickly. Focus on what's relevant. “Tell the time, don't build the clock.”From high-stakes presentations to job interviews and everyday interactions, Matt shares practical, science-backed strategies for showing up with clarity and confidence. Communication is something we all do every day—but doing it well, especially when it counts, takes intention. As this conversation makes clear, small shifts in how we prepare, structure, and deliver our message can make all the difference.Episode Reference Links:Jeff BermanMasters of ScaleConnect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (04:02) - Communication as a Skill (04:32) - The Impact of Communication (05:10) - Prevalence of Speaking Anxiety (07:11) - Techniques for Reducing Anxiety (09:46) - Core Principles: Repetition, Reflection, Feedback (10:53) - Communication in Education (12:03) - Opportunities to Improve Communication (14:26) - Presenting & Pitching Ideas (16:41) - Setting Clear Expectations (19:58) - Characteristics of Productive Meetings (24:13) - The Role of Repetition in Leadership (25:03) - Structured Preparation for Interviews (26:29) - The ADD Framework for Responses (27:57) - Asking Insightful Questions (29:17) - Defining Communication Objectives (32:23) - Adapting Messages to Different Formats (33:38) - Building Confidence in New Mediums (34:48) - Recovering from Cognitive Lapses (36:14) - The Pace, Space, Grace Framework (38:09) - Navigating Differing Perspectives (40:01) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

Can we just be honest for a second? The whole “start over at day 1” thing… It's exhausting. It sounds motivating at first, but what it actually does for most women is pile on pressure, shame, and that quiet voice that says, “Why even try again?” And that's the trap. Because this journey was never meant to be about perfection. It's about transformation. You're not trying to become a woman who never messes up. You're becoming a woman who doesn't quit on herself when she does. That's a completely different mindset—and it changes everything. Inside my coaching, we don't obsess over streaks or punish slips. We get curious. We get honest. And we actually change the patterns that keep you stuck. Because the goal isn't just to “drink less”… It's to feel free. Clear. Aligned with who God is calling you to be. And if you're tired of starting over, I want to invite you into something different.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Monica Cornitcher. Entrepreneurial journey, the inspiration behind Medase Cocktails, and the realities of launching, funding, and scaling a premium nonalcoholic spirits brand in a highly competitive market. Purpose of the Conversation The purpose of the episode is to: Educate aspiring entrepreneurs on how to build a differentiated consumer brand Demonstrate the importance of storytelling, market clarity, and operational discipline Highlight the growth of the nonalcoholic / zero‑proof beverage movement Inspire founders—especially founders of color—to own their niche, seek capital strategically, and scale intentionally. Key Takeaways 1. Business Built from Personal Need and Purpose Medase Cocktails was co‑founded by Monica and her lifelong friend during her friend’s battle with breast cancer, a time when alcohol was no longer an option—but celebration still mattered. The brand was created to allow people to celebrate authentically without alcohol It carries emotional depth rooted in friendship, gratitude, and loss Monica continues the mission after her co‑founder passed away in 2024 Lesson: Purpose-driven businesses create deeper emotional connection and long-term brand equity. 2. Differentiation Is Everything Monica deliberately rejected the “sparkling water with flavor” model common in nonalcoholic drinks. Her differentiators include: Authentic cocktail taste (Old Fashioned, Margarita, Moscow Mule) Organic juices, not artificial flavors Bold packaging that stands out on shelves Drinks designed to smell, taste, and feel like real cocktails Lesson: Competing on authenticity—not cost—is how you carve out market share in crowded spaces. 3. Brand Names and Stories Matter The name “Medase” means “thank you” and reflects gratitude, friendship, and emotional support. Monica emphasizes: Every flavor name, color, and product decision has a story A strong brand narrative creates curiosity, loyalty, and investor interest Lesson: People invest in brands they feel—emotionally, not just intellectually. 4. Venture Capital Is Not Just About Numbers While financials matter, Monica stresses that VCs also invest in founders and stories. What helped her secure venture capital: A compelling personal story Relevant founder skill sets (M&A, law, operations) Clear understanding of the market opportunity Lesson: Early-stage funding often depends on who you are and why you’re building, not just revenue. 5. Research, Planning, and Discipline Before Launch Unlike many food startups, Medase did not begin in a kitchen. They: Conducted a feasibility study Built a formal business plan Worked with a Black female food scientist Set strict personal funding limits before seeking capital Lesson: Preparation reduces risk and builds long-term sustainability. 6. Scaling Requires Operational Maturity As sales increased—especially on Amazon—Monica emphasized the need to move from “hustle mode” to operational excellence. Key scaling principles: Understand unit economics Track ROI for events and activations Adjust pricing as volume increases Build strategy across marketing, operations, and distribution Lesson: Hustle starts the business; operations grow it. 7. Niche First, Expansion Later Medase does not try to be “everything to everyone.” Core customers include: People seeking a break from alcohol Health-conscious consumers Black men looking for alcohol replacements Consumers wanting cocktail taste without hangovers Lesson: Strong niches create loyal advocates who fuel organic growth. 8. Smart Distribution Strategy Rather than rushing into retail, Monica prioritized direct-to-consumer channels: Amazon (top-performing channel) Brand website TikTok Shop Only after 6–7 months of traction did retail expansion become viable. Lesson: Control your margins and demand before entering expensive retail environments. Memorable Quotes “I wanted an authentic cocktail without compromise.” “Everything we do has a story behind it.” “Sometimes it’s not about the financials—it’s about the founder and the story.” “Don’t be everything to everybody. Find your market and stick with your market.” “Hustle starts the business, but operations give you scale.” “If it tastes too much like alcohol and you gave me a one-star review—thank you. That means I did my job.” Overall Message This episode is a real-world entrepreneurial blueprint showing how clarity of vision, emotional authenticity, disciplined planning, and niche focus can turn a personal idea into a scalable national brand. Monica Cornitcher exemplifies the modern founder:visionary, data-aware, emotionally intelligent, and unapologetically authentic. #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
