Why do we spend hundreds, or even thousands, on bottles we might never open? In this episode, we dive deep into the psychology of liquor collecting, hype culture, FOMO, and the way booze becomes a status symbol. Whether you're building a bunker of bourbon or flexing limited-edition tequila, there's more to it than just what's in the bottle.From the thrill of the hunt to the trap of identity signaling, Matt, Jason, and Drew break down why collecting bottles is more emotional than logical…and why that's exactly the point.#whiskeycollector #liquorhype #arsenicculturehttps://www.youtube.com/@arsenicculturehttps://instagram.com/arsenicculturehttps://tiktok.com/@arsenicculturehttps://www.facebook.com/arsenicculture/https://x.com/arsenicculture

“Divorce is mostly about money.” –Gabriella MartinelliMarried? Do you know where your money is? I'm really excited to talk with Gabriella Martinelli, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, about what we need to know about our finances and protecting ourselves before or during a divorce.Even if you don't think you are headed in that direction, you can protect yourself, because if you don't know where the money is or don't have access to the accounts, and something happens, you're stuck.Divorce is often messy — a mix of emotions, laws that aren't clear, and financial confusion. Getting clarity around the money can help you make choices from a better place.We talk about: Why so many women don't know about money — and why it's a problemFinancial and nonfinancial contributions to the familyFear about not having enough money and trust about money going both ways Protecting your business early and keeping business expenses separate from household expensesQuestions you should be asking and how you can start to find informationWhy you should hire a CDFA before an attorney if you are moving toward divorceABOUT GABRIELLAGabriella E. Martinelli is a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® (CDFA®) and founder of Ever After Wealth®. With 21 years of experience in divorce finance, including 16 working alongside top attorneys, Gabriella helps individuals and professionals navigate the financial complexities of divorce with clarity and confidence.

Change comes from action. Doable changes are things that you can add into your life, one at a time to make micro shifts and really create a ripple effect that will create a big change over time. Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it. Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:GET A SNAPSHOT OF YOUR FAMILY FINANCIAL PICTURE. What accounts do you have? What investments? What debt? Are your names on those accounts? Ask questions. Collect information. Ask for more access. It's not only useful in case of divorce, but also in case something happens to your spouse and you need to do more than you are doing financially.DIG DEEPER. Gabriella offers some ideas about using tax returns, credit reports, and other documents to start to gather information on your own if you feel you can't ask questions or don't trust the answers.PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS. While protecting your business may take multiple changes, the first step you can take is to talk to an attorney about protecting your business as your livelihood in case, separate from other assets. From there you can make decisions about what you need to do.

With premiums continuing to rise, finding the best coverage at the most reasonable price has never been more important.Adam O'Keefe from Allmed Pro Insurance Specialists joins us to cut through the complexity of dental indemnity, revealing what you should be looking for beyond just the price tag. We explore the critical differences between discretionary and contractual coverage – a distinction that could mean the difference between being protected or left financially exposed when facing a claim. Adam brilliantly illustrates this with a simple question: "Would you insure your house for fire and then wait till you've had the fire to find out whether you're covered?"The conversation delves into why newly qualified dentists face steep premium increases in their early years, how claims trends are affecting the entire profession, and what protection you need after retirement. Most importantly, we uncover the additional benefits that separate exceptional providers from basic ones – from 24/7 legal advice and GP services to reputation management and PR support during crises. These extras can prove invaluable during challenging periods of your career.Whether you're a newly qualified dentist navigating indemnity for the first time or an experienced practitioner looking to ensure you're getting the best value, this episode provides the knowledge you need to make informed decisions.

My guest today is Ramtin Naimi. Ramtin is the founder of Abstract Ventures, one of the most talked-about seed funds in Silicon Valley. What makes Ramtin's story so compelling isn't just his firm's remarkable track record—including early investments in Rippling, Solana, and dozens of unicorns—but also the unconventional path he took to get there. From running a hedge fund straight out of high school to filing for bankruptcy at 24, then bootstrapping his way to building a $2 billion AUM venture firm using AngelList and relentless hustle. Our conversation begins in an unexpected place—the art world—where Ramtin has become a sophisticated collector, learning from mentors like Michael Ovitz about market dynamics that surprisingly mirror venture capital. We dive deep into how the art world actually works, and Ramtin explains how these lessons about "masterpieces" apply directly to identifying power-law companies in venture. We go deep on his approach to early-stage investing and how he built Abstract as a co-investment vehicle alongside firms like Sequoia, Benchmark, and Andreessen Horowitz. We explore his portfolio construction model, his philosophy on dilution-sensitive founders, and why he takes upwards of 30 pitch meetings per week to build his "frame of reference." We discuss why Abstract has the highest graduation rate from seed to Series A among all seed funds, and how this competitive advantage compounds over time. This is his first time telling his story, and we discuss the power of pattern recognition, relentless work ethic, and the unique opportunities available to those willing to start from scratch in Silicon Valley.

Speculation has swirled that Ghislaine Maxwell is writing a tell‑all memoir from prison, purportedly aimed at “correcting misinformation” about her involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and the broader scandal. Reports from early 2024 suggest she believes a book could vindicate her, with an anonymous source quoted saying she “really thinks she hasn't done anything wrong and that her charges will be dropped when people read her story.” Manuscripts are said to be kept under extreme secrecy—stored across three legal lockers and moved paranoidly to prevent leaks.These claims have sparked concern and criticism among survivors and public commentators who fear that far from delivering accountability, the book—if published—could serve as a self‑exculpatory exercise. Legal experts note that while she may legally profit from such a memoir, victims would likely need to be notified under state laws and could seek restitution via civil claims. Maxwell's reported efforts to capitalize on the Epstein scandal by “telling her story” have been interpreted as another attempt at self‑rehabilitation, rather than genuine introspection or acceptance of culpability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ghislaine Maxwell Could Make Millions From Jeffrey Epstein Scandal (newsweek.com)

What makes this story particularly alarming? Companies were unknowingly shipping laptops directly to her, providing legitimate access credentials that she then shared with foreign adversaries. This case serves as a powerful reminder of why third-party risk management isn't just a compliance exercise but a critical security function.Diving into CISSP Domain 6.3, we explore the fundamental security processes that could prevent such compromises. User account lifecycle management forms the backbone of organizational security, from proper identity verification during onboarding to the principle of least privilege and role-based access controls. We examine the critical differences between disabling and deleting accounts during deprovisioning, and why service accounts deserve special attention as high-value targets for attackers.Security assessments and audits provide the verification mechanisms needed to ensure your controls are both properly designed and effectively operating. Understanding the distinction between vulnerability assessments, penetration tests, and formal audits helps you build a comprehensive evaluation strategy. We clarify the differences between SOC Type 1 and Type 2 reports when evaluating service providers, and explain why metrics must be measurable, actionable, relevant, timely, and attributional (SMARTA) to drive meaningful security improvements.Perhaps most critically, we address backup verification strategies—because discovering your backups are corrupted during a recovery situation is a career-limiting event. Through practical guidance on security training approaches, enforcement mechanisms, and measurement techniques, this episode provides both CISSP candidates and practicing security professionals with actionable insights to strengthen their security programs.

Ghislaine Maxwell Looks To Collect A Bag With Her Rumored Tell All Autobiography

Speculation has swirled that Ghislaine Maxwell is writing a tell‑all memoir from prison, purportedly aimed at “correcting misinformation” about her involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and the broader scandal. Reports from early 2024 suggest she believes a book could vindicate her, with an anonymous source quoted saying she “really thinks she hasn't done anything wrong and that her charges will be dropped when people read her story.” Manuscripts are said to be kept under extreme secrecy—stored across three legal lockers and moved paranoidly to prevent leaks.These claims have sparked concern and criticism among survivors and public commentators who fear that far from delivering accountability, the book—if published—could serve as a self‑exculpatory exercise. Legal experts note that while she may legally profit from such a memoir, victims would likely need to be notified under state laws and could seek restitution via civil claims. Maxwell's reported efforts to capitalize on the Epstein scandal by “telling her story” have been interpreted as another attempt at self‑rehabilitation, rather than genuine introspection or acceptance of culpability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ghislaine Maxwell Could Make Millions From Jeffrey Epstein Scandal (newsweek.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera and it's a special day. Spiffy, Tiffy and I are back together on the podcast. You know Tiff, you love Tiff, you hear her with or without me, but today's a special day. You get both of us, one podcast. Tiff, how you doing today?   The Dental A Team (00:15) No, I'm so good. I just love when we podcast together, first of all, and I love that we really well. We roll with the punches well, and this morning has proven that. And this whole week has been a pivot and roll with the punches, and I'm excited for everyone to hear all of the wonderful words we have to say today.   Kiera Dent (00:25) you   Me too. And it is fun because it's funny when Tiffanie started the company, I feel like we talked to each other all the time. And this morning I was getting ready at 530 a.m. because I was like, sweet, I got a lot of podcasts. We're going to start at 6 a.m. today. It's going to be a great day. And I'm like, you know, I used to call Tiff during this time and we just like chat and talk shop. And now it's like, hey, let's catch up on the podcast. OK, it's like, how's life? How you doing over there? Even though we work together all the time, but.   The Dental A Team (00:58) Yeah   Kiera Dent (01:04) I think that that just shows the growth that we've been able to have. And it's interesting, something I will say is as you grow and evolve, make sure that you still stay connected to your key players. think Tiff and I have to now be very intentional. Like we call each other or we'll FaceTime each other or like I'll just randomly FaceTime Tiff while I'm driving with Jason, just so we stay as friends in a relationship because work I think can sometimes accidentally, we're so busy ships in the night, even though we're in the same company. So Tiff, good time to reconnect on the podcast. Hi.   The Dental A Team (01:17) Thank   Good   Kiera Dent (01:33) It's been a hot minute, great to see you. I think I haven't seen you all   The Dental A Team (01:35) to see you.   Kiera Dent (01:36) week, so it's great to see you.   The Dental A Team (01:37) That is so true,   we haven't, not since our leadership meeting on Monday.   Kiera Dent (01:41) and we had like one client call together, which I'm like, hey, it's real fun to be with you here. I'm like, see you later. ⁓ But no, it's truly so fun. And today, and I wanted to just, I think we're seeing it, it's actually one thing that I will say Tiff and I are doing really well that we haven't done is we actually are coaching mutual clients together. We only have a couple and it's been really fun. think Tiff, I feel like it's like our shake and bake, like stocked into Malo, like Tiff to Kiera, like let's just have a good time on it because it's not often other than events that we get to do this. But I think in,   The Dental A Team (01:44) yeah, straight.   Thank you.   Kiera Dent (02:11) coaching clients more together. I think you and I are starting to see this like really awesome pattern that you brought up of a topic of like this 1%. And I know you're obsessed in it and working out, which thank you because every day I think about you and I'm like, yeah, Kieran, just go move your body 1 % more today, like just 1 % today. And so I think in life, but let's also take it to practices and billing. Tiff kind of riffed us on the topic I did and we're just gonna riff for you guys today. Kieran, Tiff, stocked into Malone. If you don't know the jazz, well, you missed out, but.   The Dental A Team (02:25) Thank you.   Kiera Dent (02:38) Basically we're the glory days. That's what this is. It's a glory. It's a dream team back together doing our shake and bake, rattle and roll, talking all things dentistry. So Tiff, take it away.   The Dental A Team (02:48) Yeah, I actually, I think we all know the 1 % rule and we know the compound effect and we know like, we know arbitrarily that these things and these ideas are something we're supposed to do and that they work. And last year, I found myself in this space where I was like, trying to octopus arms a lot of different things in my life that I wanted improvement on. And I had like three, four or five, whatever it was things that I'm like, okay, I'll do a little bit here, I'll do a little bit here, I'll do a little bit here. And it's kind of like,   I was just talking to Erin the other day about like paying down debt, right? So like you're paying down debt and you're like, okay, I'll put a little extra on this card, a little extra on this card, a little extra on this card. And that little bit of extra actually isn't making any progress because the percentages, right? The interest on it is actually eating it alive. And you just get to the spot where you're like, my God, I'm not making any progress in anything. And I'm spreading myself so thin, I'm exhausted. And I found myself there with debt and, but with these areas of my life that I was like, I just want to   feel 50%, 100 % better in these areas. And I was giving a little bit to all these spaces and Aaron and I had a conversation. I was just like, I'm so exhausted. Something's got to give, something's got to change. And he's like, let's pick one. And so I was thinking, and then we did.   Kiera Dent (04:03) I think about your   plate overfilling. From the day I met you, had this image of like, you know how people say like their plate's really full? Tiff's like, no, my plate's full and I have like food. I don't know why it is, but it's like cauliflower, broccoli, carrots is what I've envisioned for you. Just sitting on the side of her plate. So it's like there, then she's got like her sweet potato and it's like on the place map, but it's off the plate. And I think that that's like a really good visual of who Tiff's been since I've met you and how I think.   All of us live our life. This isn't just a Tiffanie, but like whether it's the octopus arms or the plate over like literally, if it's been like cauliflower broccoli, like I just see like a big like hunk of broccoli on the side of your plate. I don't come with it all.   The Dental A Team (04:35) Yeah.   Yes, and I actually   had somebody in my life, I had a friend years ago, gosh, this was like, I remember the stop sign we were sitting at and I remember being like crying, like, gosh dang it, one more thing and I'm like, I can do it, it's fine, because I'm the person that's like, yeah, I can totally do it, I know I can do it, but what cost is it at is not something I always think of and he looked at me he said,   You are like the person at Thanksgiving, that you're just so excited to have some of everything, that you have your plate and you filled it with everything. So you've got your turkey, your mashed potatoes and gravy, and your roll and your sweet potatoes. And then you sat down and you're like, oh, shoot, I forgot. Like this plate, he's like, it's a mounds of food because it's Thanksgiving, right? Which is fair. We all do that at Thanksgiving. He goes, but then you forgot.   about like the pie and somebody else put other rolls out. And so then you like started shoving it under your plate. And he's like, that's your one, you just took a piece of apple pie when you already had pumpkin pie. And you said yes to this, which means you said no to the pumpkin pie because you can't eat both. And I was like, holy cow, I love Thanksgiving, that works. Like I get it. And so yes, that was me. And so again, I don't know how long ago was that? Seven, eight years later, nine years.   Kiera Dent (05:53) No. Five, six, seven, years later.   The Dental A Team (05:56) Like,   Holly, are you kidding me? It came up again. And then somebody else just said it in different terms. And he said, you know, like, if you could do 1 % better every single day in one area, that's your compound effect. If you do 1 % better in five areas, but you only had 1 % to give, you're trying to give 5%, you're going to go backwards in areas. Like, you can't, it just doesn't work. The math isn't there. He does math. Math is his jam. So he's like, the math doesn't, it's not math-ing.   So if you choose one area that is going to bring the most like happiness and joy out of all the other areas that you could easily give 1 % improvement, it's gonna snowball. And what happened, what I found, right, is that that 1 % in my health and my fitness, which is what I chose to focus on, did snowball. And so all of a sudden the habit stacking that I had going on in my health and fitness snowballed.   into those other areas that I was trying to octopus arms into. So I saw slight improvements in those other areas and I was like, okay, everyone, they're both right. It's fine. Thank you. But I started thinking about it today. It popped up today for me actually really strong. I don't remember this morning why it popped up, but it did. And so then when, know, Kara, you and I got on here and like, my gosh, like this is what practices do. This is what owners, business owners do this constantly.   Right? We go into something and we're like, gosh, I've got to be best at marketing. I've got to make money and have great profitability. I've got to be a great leader and I have to have an awesome team and I've got to train people to be leaders. And then we're octopus arms and like Thanksgiving plates say yes to everything, which in turn makes us say no to something else. And so I thought the most you've got octopus arms, you've got your plate. Like what's the most important thing you've got your, you've got your dinner plate overflowing and you look at it and you're like,   I'm probably not gonna eat all of this, right? I would love to be able to eat all of this and not like get the calories from it and not like feel like I'm gonna throw up. Like I want it all, but if I have to go by what's most important and start there, I'm gonna start with the protein and the vegetables. So when you look at your business, right? The protein and the vegetables are going to help my health. It's going to promote.   my muscle build, it's going to like positively impact the goals that I'm working for. If I start with the pumpkin pie, which is where I want to start because I want room for the pumpkin pie, it's a negative. I want it, right? I want the sugar, but like, I know that I feel like crap after eating the sugar. So if I am a business owner and I'm focusing solely on, I don't know, new patients, I only want new patients, but I haven't focused on making sure my team knows how to collect. I'm over here crying to my consultant that   Kiera Dent (08:21) Me Me too.   The Dental A Team (08:43) I don't have any money in the bank and I can't afford my consultant, but my, even my new patients, I've got 62 new patients who also aren't scheduling treatment. Right? So that's like the pumpkin pie. Whereas the protein is making sure we're making sure we're like focusing on the money. Right. And not to the point that we lose the patient experience. That's not my point. My point is what, how can we be 1 % better in our collections? Like, what are we missing? And I had a   revelation finally with a practice this week and I love her to death and I'm just like, yay, we got there because I'm like something's not happening. Something that should be happening is not happening because your insurance AR is beautiful. But over here, we still have almost $200,000 in AR. ⁓ How is it possible when your insurance AR is showing up as like $44,000? Right. And so like getting there, getting there, getting there. But the 1 % is what's something that we can do today to collect   part of what we're missing, right? What's one phone call, one extra phone call we can make? What's one person coming in the door that has a past due balance that we can collect today? Like how can we take that theory of that 1 % better that is so easy to implement when it comes to health, fitness and nutrition? We get it. Our brains are like, yeah, that makes total sense. Eat the protein before the sugar. I get it. I don't want to, but I can do that. But we have such a hard time implementing that in like   the other structures of our lives because it's just not, it doesn't feel as clean and as clear. And I think, Kiera, it doesn't feel as fun, right? Like eating the pumpkin pie is more fun. Marketing is way more fun than billing. ⁓ Hands down, I don't want to do billing. I want to do marketing.   Kiera Dent (10:18) Yeah. Exactly what I was thinking.   What are you saying? was like, the reason we don't go for the turkey is because turkey is freaking dry and pumpkin pie is sweet and fun, which is why people don't like to look at their numbers because numbers are like protein and it's not as fun. And I'm sitting here like shoveling down this nasty turkey that I know is like super lean, no fat in it. And I'm able to get my protein in. And yet when you talked about a tip of like, I think those business owners, this is where you cut out the noise and the elite business owners are able to cut out the noise, not go over the sexy and go for the things that are actually going to build the foundation.   And when you can figure that out, because like Tiff, you and I, it makes me wild when clients come through and they're like, I can't afford this. And I'm like, what do you mean you can't afford this? You have like 300,000 sitting in AR, like bada bing, bada boom, it's right there. And if we just collect before they leave, ⁓ my gosh, a revelation, you actually get paid for the work you did. And we're not like, hey Tiff, you want to pay me like six months later? Like, no, I did the work, let's get this paid. Why are we living in the 1900s? Like we don't have tabs, get rid of it.   The Dental A Team (11:02) you   Mm-hmm.   Kiera Dent (11:23) but it's something so interesting that you're like, we're right. Like I want to do new patients. Like there's so much more fun and also it's a flex. Like when you go to a conference, like, here's my production, here's my new patient number. And I'm like, cool, here's my profit. Like it's not as fun and it's awkward. And you're like, cause also I don't want to tell people my profit. Cause I don't like, is that good? Is that bad? I don't know. So it's this weird zone of it's not safe to share publicly. It's a weird thing to talk about, but at the end of the day, it's the number one thing you're stressing about all day long. And so I think like you said, Tiff,   The Dental A Team (11:36) Yeah.   Kiera Dent (11:53) When you were talking, also thought like every team member could have their 1 % better. So doctors, if you want octopus arms, amazing. You can actually have it through your team members. Like right now, Tiff actually has her one thing in her department that she's focused on. has her one thing in her department she's focused on. Shelby has her one thing. Like they have other things, but it's like, if we can't get anything, these are the top three things that have to get done. And honestly, we went after profitability and like hiring consultants were like, all right, these are the two things. And it's wild when we focus on it, we laser focused.   The Dental A Team (11:57) Okay.   Kiera Dent (12:23) We cut the pumpkin pie, and it was for us, we didn't cut marketing. We were like, all right, this is going to move the needle forward. It's crazy how much more calm life feels. It's crazy how less stressed you feel. And then you're able to move things forward even faster. So I think it's a, and you said it doesn't have to be hard. Like this morning, I honestly thought about your tips, so kudos. This is probably why we were hanging out. Like I need a 1 % better.   The Dental A Team (12:27) Yeah.   So.   Kiera Dent (12:47) I was getting ready for the podcast and I'm like, it's gonna be all day long I'm podcasting today. I'm probably not gonna work out. And I was like, I thought about you in the back of my head and I was like, I could do five minutes   of stretching right now. That would make me feel way better going on to this podcast. It shows me that I honor my body. That's my 1 % for today. And yet my body already has felt better today. And I was in a better mindset on a, it was eight minutes that I did like yoga, stretching, making sure I took care of my body. Did some like quick like lifts for my shoulder.   It was very simple, it took no time at all. And it's the same thing of like your biller could collect on the patients. Like every patient who comes in, if we just collected those balances, you would feel like you're the richest person in the world. If we just called the high balances, just those people alone, that's probably like 50 % of what you need to collect right there. And that's very easy, but it's not sexy. And I think Tim, like, what is the psychology behind, like it's easy, but it's not fun, so we don't do it. Like eating protein dry turkey is such a great example of this.   The Dental A Team (13:26) Okay.   Kiera Dent (13:44) Because it's like, it's needed, it's necessary, and it's super great for you. But I'd rather do the pumpkin pie. Like, how do you discipline that? Or is it just a trained behavior? Like, I think about my sign in the kitchen of discipline equals freedom. I think about this all the time.   The Dental A Team (13:45) Yeah.   I'm   It's true. I think I want to think you have to get no matter what you have to get to the point that you've hit like rock bottom, right? Like it has to hurt badly enough for people to change something for beings to change something like a dog's not going to change its routine until it hurts badly enough going the same direction. Right. So I think no matter what, it has to hurt badly enough. So you have to get into that spot. But psychology behind it, like there's so much that it gets stacked up behind the   the things that we do every single day. And I know I had a conversation with my sister. If my practice is now, always call her out on stuff. But she said to me, she's yeah, she's my Craig. She said to me one day, this is like two weeks ago. Yeah, she doesn't listen. Craig might. So hello, Craig. We love you. We've talked about you for many years and you are a staple of our company. ⁓ But she said to me,   Kiera Dent (14:35) She's your Craig.   Okay.   Bye.   The Dental A Team (14:51) one, it was so simple. was like, there was this yogurt in the fridge that she had gotten. I'm like, Hey, don't forget you had this yogurt in the fridge. She goes, Oh my gosh, I couldn't remember if that was yours or it was mine. And I was like, heck no, girl, did you know you can get the same yogurt in this brand? And it's like, instead of 120 calories, it's 60 calories. Cause I'm like, I'm watching my freaking calories because I've seen that change, right? I've seen that difference. And she was like, Oh my gosh, whatever. Right. She gets tired of hearing me say it. I'm like, well, stop talking about food with me. Right. But then we get like,   ice cream and I chose actually like I chose this amazing dairy free. so good. I create that right. It's like whipped cream right coconut whipped cream and you freeze it and you put fruit in it. I need a sprinkle delivery system is what I call it. That's my sprinkle delivery system. It's literally frozen whipped cream and I pour sprinkles on top of it right. Well my sister tells me I don't want to have to say no to something if I want something I want to be able to have it.   And so she gets the loaded ice cream, which I don't care. I have no care in the world on what you eat, but that statement, I was like, oh my God, that's the statement. That's the thing that keeps us in the space that we're in because we've convinced ourselves that saying no to the pumpkin pie and yes to the Turkey hurts. That it's like, no, I should be able to do whatever I want. Cause that's the societal thought process that we live in. I should be able, and I'm like, okay.   But saying yes to that has changed something else. So I'm saying no to my fitness, to my health, my fitness, my mental stability, because sugar changes how I think, right? I know this. I know sugar. I know TV. I know social media. I feel different. My thought process is different after these things, right? So if I say, want to have that, I don't want to have to say no, I am saying yes to the sugar.   So I'm saying yes to the distraction in my business while saying no to the thing that's gonna push me forward and make me a better human for myself. Because if I say no to the protein, but yes to the sugar, my brain works differently and that makes me more angry inside than not having the pumpkin pie.   Kiera Dent (17:03) Totally. And as you said that, Tim, thought about like people always like dentists are interesting. And I know you hear this. I hear this. All of our consultants here. People want to know like what sets apart the elite practices, like what makes it. And I'm like, it's literally this discipline. It is what Tiff just talked about where you realize that saying yes to the protein and lifting weights is better for you, better for the company, better for long-term sustainability rather than the shiny or urgent issue that's hitting you right now.   It is so fun to talk about marketing. It is so fun to sit here and dream of all these great ideas. But the reality is if I'm not making money, then why on earth am I doing this? And you can justify it all day long, but well, because we need marketing because this will help us make more money. But I'm like, if there's gaping holes in your bucket right now, have the discipline. And I think that that's where...   The Dental A Team (17:29) Yeah.   Kiera Dent (17:49) I think I've been watching a lot of things and they say like some of the most successful people in the entire world are the ones who wake up early and workout consistently every day, no matter what rain or shine. does not matter. It's not always a guaranteed same amount of workout, but it's the discipline and the habit that they've created that they know when they say like we do what's most important for our body. We do what's most important for our business. Their body's not revolting like, but I want the sugar. It's like, no, when we say go, we go and you're training. This is why I think cold plunging people like that. They like these other things. It's like you're training your body that would you command and when you command your brain.   The Dental A Team (18:12) you.   Kiera Dent (18:19) you are actually going to execute on this. And I think if you could even take it in food or you could take it in small areas, what you're doing in your personal life is actually training who you're going to be as a business owner. so helping you see, and like, is me, mean, Tiff, shoot, I was the cake pop girl. Like the one was last time you saw me eat a cake pop. Like this is not something that we even do anymore because we're like, absolutely not. I know we're going to feel terrible. That's not fueling our body that needs to then be able to be sustaining.   The Dental A Team (18:28) 100%.   Same.   Kiera Dent (18:45) And I think it's like that maturity as well of business ownership and discipline. But I'm like, you don't have to wait through all the years. You can realize today, what's my 1 % in the true problem area of my business. we do in our mastermind, Tiff and I actually put together this survey that we have our clients do every single quarter in our in-person mastermind. And we asked the question, if your business could talk today, what would you say is the number one problem in your business? Whatever that is.   The Dental A Team (18:51) Mm hmm.   Kiera Dent (19:11) go fix that and be 1 % better. And I think Tiff, that's such a good question we ask. We ask about your relationships too, but I'm like, if you looked at that, that's the one area. And if that's truly your biggest pain point, which most offices it is, most people come to us for cashflow. Yes, it's cashflow, it's overhead, it's systems, it's leadership, but I'm like, usually the pain is on cash. I'm I'm freaking broke, but you waited until you were broke, broke, broke before you reached out for help. So if you're like teetering this, reach out now. If you're really there, it's okay, it still help you out.   The Dental A Team (19:31) Yeah.   Kiera Dent (19:41) But I think it's just a matter of like train yourself this discipline, ask yourself that question and then go to work and stay so laser focused. Because I think if you can train yourself to stay laser focused, ⁓ I asked a coach, she's working with billionaires and I said, what's the number one thing that sets apart the really high end achievers versus the others? And she said, it's focus. They have insane ability to focus on the problem that needs to happen and they don't get sucked up in the wash. And I thought that was so powerful and I think everyone can be that way. So those are kind of my wrap up thoughts of the 1%.   The Dental A Team (20:00) enough.   Kiera Dent (20:10) Collect like, and it's not hard. It's like collect one balance more. It's diagnosed one more thing that you'd normally put a watch on. It's we call one balance today that's a high end balance and we just do that versus like, oh, I got to do the whole list. No, you just do one. Cause the small chips will add up to the big thing. And it's the snowball effect. Dave Ramsey talks about with debt. You literally put all of it onto your hardest debt. Now you put all that money there. You snowball that you pay that one off. Then you take that amount, put it on the next one, snowball that make that. And this is the same thing in your business. It's habit stack.   The Dental A Team (20:38) And the hands.   Kiera Dent (20:40) But   I think more than that, it's teaching you to be a CEO rather than to be a flighty employee. Like my two cents.   The Dental A Team (20:47) I totally agree. And I think that 1 % is so perfect because what you just said, it compounds, right? It snowballs. So if you can have your billing department or whomever, your office manager, whoever it is, stop being so distracted by the easy things, right? I always say make your life easy by doing the hard things. Just because it's easy.   Kiera Dent (21:08) rewind that back. She just   said, make your life easy by doing the hard things. Like, I hope you heard that. You make your life easy by doing these hard things. Go off. That was Brill.   The Dental A Team (21:16) Yeah, doesn't   mean, thank you, it doesn't mean there are no hard things. It doesn't mean you don't have to do hard things to have an easy life. Like I live a fairly easy life in my opinion, but holy cow, have I done and do I do really hard things, but I don't shy away from it. And I get asked a lot, like, how did you get through that? Like I have gone through some crazy life traumatic items and people are like, how did you get through that? And like, I don't know, I just did. I just didn't ignore it. And I just...   pushed through and got to the next layer, that next level. And if you do that same thing, it starts to compound. You stack those pieces. So if you make one hard call today, one balance that you're like, shoot, this person's gonna be mad, get it out of the way. Because guess what? They're only going to be more mad if you wait three months and you're like, hey, six months ago.   Kiera Dent (21:58) You   The Dental A Team (22:07) you were here and like you didn't pay or we got your frequency wrong and you owe $500 on a crown that we thought insurance was gonna pay. They're gonna be like, I was six months ago, why are you just now calling me? So do it today and get it out of the way. And guess what? If they're upset, like have a conversation with them, it's fine. So then you flex that muscle, right? Like my boyfriend hates doing legs. Well, he sucks at legs cause he doesn't do it. So it's like, just do it. So it's easier. I hate working out chest.   just do it so that I can be stronger later. So yeah, it sucks making those calls, but it's not that hard. I sat in an office one day, I'm gonna tell this story, because I think it's just funny. I sat in an office one day and I hear, meh, meh, meh, this person won't pay. She says she has no money. She doesn't answer our calls. It's been here for two years. And I was like, girl, give me the phone. And I called and left a voicemail and I said, hey.   Kiera Dent (22:52) I'm   The Dental A Team (23:01) I really need to talk to you because your balance is about to be out of my hands and I do not want it to get to that next step. Please call me back like today. I really, really want to help you take care of this. Guess who called within 10 minutes. They have been calling quote unquote. I don't know if they called or not. I don't know. Right. Forever. They've sent statements. This woman has no money and won't pay. Guess who started making $50 monthly payments to keep that account from going to collections. I don't know where it was going to go. I usually just blame it on the next step.   guess who started paying and the doctor was like, Lord, three more calls, three more. I collected, sitting in that office, I was there to consult them and I collected on four large past due balances for that practice in 30 minutes. It's not hard. We just make it uncomfortable and you just have to get through it.   Kiera Dent (23:49) Mm-hmm.   Tiff, so much brilliant. And I think this is why we love consulting. We're able to help your offices see the frog they need to eat, see which one, because you can be like messy in the noise. And this is why having outside people, Tiff, like Erin and your other friend who point out like, hey, your plate's freaking full. Stop like shoving food underneath it. having octopus arms. Sometimes you need to see where you're overextending and overflowing to be able to make those changes. And so if we can help, like obviously Tiff and I love to do this, reach out, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. But today go look to see what's my number one.   The Dental A Team (24:10) You   Kiera Dent (24:25) problem. Not the one that I want to work on but the actual problem. How can I get like 1 % better in this? Commit for the next three months and then let us know how that goes. A lot of us need accountability buddies which is where we're really great. It's always better with a buddy. It's better when I know Tiff's working out, I'm working out, we're able to like I got back on the Peloton Tiff because I got you back on the Peloton. Like we're both back on it. But this is where sometimes it's better with a buddy. It's more fun. So reach out if we can help you. Tiff, thanks for being on the podcast. I adore you. I love your analogies and girl I'm proud of you. Your food's not...   The Dental A Team (24:41) Yeah.   course.   Thank you.   Kiera Dent (24:53) 100 %   overflowing anymore. think you've got like on the plate. So kudos. You're making huge progress.   The Dental A Team (24:57) Thank you.   Thank you. And thank you everyone for listening. We truly love and adore each and every one of you.   Kiera Dent (25:04) We do.

Mike & Tommy run through a GREAT question by one of our listeners on what to do with Power BI & Fabric development.In the Pre-Fabric era, as far as I know the most optimal architecture for dataset & report development was the following: 1, Collect data sources into Dataflows 2, Create shared datasets which load data from the Dataflows 3, Create reports built upon the shared datasets.In the Fabric era, how does the optimal architecture look like for dataset & report development? Is the Pre-Fabric architecture described above still the most optimal? If not, what's your idea on it?

We love our automobiles here in America. We love driving cars and fixing up cars… but not every experience on the open road is a good one. This week I'm recommending four road trip films that turn out to be bad trips. Duel (1971)David Mann is just trying to make his way through a lone desert highway when he begins being tormented by an 18-wheeler for no apparent reason. Despite Mann's attempts to outrun, outmaneuver, and outsmart his pursuer, he is unable to get away. If Duel sounds a little like Jaws but with cars, that's no coincidence as Duel was the directorial debut of Steven Spielberg. Non-stop tension from beginning to the exciting climax.Motorama (1991)Ten-year-old Gus hits the road after stealing his parents' Mustang with hopes of winning Motorama. Collect all eight winning cards for a chance of winning $500 million dollars! Unfortunately for Gus, things aren't easy in this hellish nightmare wasteland. By the time Gus makes it to the Motorama headquarters he's lost an eye and his hair has turned gray… and things are about to get worse.Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry (1974)Driver Larry and his mechanic Deke plan to fund their new racing team by robbing a local supermarket and laying low until the heat blows over — an escape plan that falls apart when Larry's former one-night stand Mary is hiding in the getaway car. The film turns into a long police chase and getting there is half the fun! Starring Peter Fonda and Vic Morrow.Palmer's Pick-up (1999)Palmer and Pearl, owners of a cargo shipping company, are hired to transport a large crate from California to Florida. The crate must be delivered to the Devil's Triangle prior to the stroke of midnight on Y2K, else something bad will happen. What the two don't know is if they do make it on time, something much worse may happen. Starring Robert Carradine, Morton Downey, Jr., a dozen unexpected cameos, and one of the highest death counts in any movie I've ever seen. What an ending! This is a public episode.

Here's What Making Tax Digital In 2026 Means For Dentists with Amman Sarkaria [CPD Available]

Making Tax Digital (MTD) represents one of the most significant changes to self-assessment in decades, yet many dentists remain unaware of what is coming or how it will affect their practice finances.From April 2026, self-employed dental professionals with income exceeding £50,000 will need to abandon paper records and begin making quarterly digital submissions to HMRC through compatible software platforms. But the devil truly is in the details. While some practitioners will be immediately captured by these new requirements, those operating through limited companies may find themselves temporarily shielded, provided they do not have significant additional income streams.We break down exactly who will be affected and when, explaining how the threshold will progressively decrease from £50,000 in 2026 to £30,000 in 2027 and eventually £20,000 in 2028. The distinction between different income sources proves critical, with dividends notably excluded from threshold calculations while property income must be counted alongside self-employed earnings. For those with multiple income streams, the administrative burden increases substantially, potentially requiring eight separate quarterly submissions annually rather than the current single return.Practical preparation steps are essential, from establishing dedicated business bank accounts to exploring MTD compatible software solutions. Despite the challenges, there are potential benefits too, including more regular visibility of your financial position and tax liabilities throughout the year. Whether this affects you immediately or in subsequent years as thresholds decrease, understanding these changes now will prevent unnecessary stress as implementation deadlines approach.Click the link in our description to access the free verifiable CPD associated with this episode.

July 20, 2025 Today's Reading: Luke 10:38-42Daily Lectionary: 1 Samuel 3:1-21; Acts 16:1-22“. . . Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, ‘Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.' But the Lord answered her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.'” (Luke 10:40-42) In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. You have been anxious and troubled about many things, distracted with much serving (and so have I). But Jesus' concern isn't serving, it's distraction; distraction from the one thing that is needfull (necessary). Serving your neighbors (family, friends, classmates, coworkers, etc.) is a good and necessary aspect of your vocation as Christians. The Table of Duties in the Small Catechism gives examples of what this means. In this fallen world, there is always work to do for the good of others. There is nothing wrong (and everything right) with service to family, friends, community, and church. Martha's desire to serve, in and of itself, was not wrong – in fact, it was completely right. Martha was not wrong in her desire to serve, but in her troubled heart, trusting in her service to Jesus more than Him as her one thing needful. Her anxiety over loving and serving her neighbors (Jesus and others gathered) distracted her from the true purpose of Jesus' presence. She had not grasped that Jesus came for her. Jesus “…came not to be served, but to serve…” (Matthew 28:20). While the one thing needful was right there at hand, Martha felt that serving Him was more important than being served by Him. Mary chose what is better when one is in the presence of Christ: she sat at His feet and received what He came to give. Martha's complaint to Jesus was rebuked not because He didn't appreciate Martha's service, but because Martha erred in thinking that Mary was wrong in her desire to be served by Him before serving. Both Martha and Mary represent critical aspects of living out your Baptism, loving God and loving neighbor (see Luke 10:27). But take care that your much serving doesn't become more important than your being much served by Christ Himself. The former emanates from the law, which cannot save, but only curbs, accuses, and guides (necessary as that is). The latter is the Gospel itself, emanating from Christ our Savior, being necessary for salvation (John 6:27, Romans 5:21, Jude 1:21). It is the much-suffering of Christ (His crucifixion!) that saves you, and it will not be taken away! (See Small Catechism, Explanation to the 2nd Article, 2nd Paragraph)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.  O Lord, grant us the Spirit to hear Your Word and know the one thing needful that by Your Word and Spirit we may live according to Your will; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. (Collect for the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost, LSB)Rev. Jeffrey Ries is the pastor of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tacoma, WA.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Lackey is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Vine Grove, KY.Step back in time to the late Reformation and learn about a divisive yet inspirational figure: Matthias Flacius Illyricus. His contributions to Lutheranism still echo in our teachings today, from the Magdeburg Confession to parts of the Lutheran Confessions.

If you're still telling people to “click the link in bio,” it's time to upgrade your Instagram strategy. I'm joined by Heston Roberts, a true wizard when it comes to building DM automations that actually move people from your Instagram content into your email list (and eventually, into paying clients).We go beyond the basics: how DM automation reduces friction, why it can outperform link-in-bio by 60% or more, how to keep things personal and scalable, and what common mistakes to avoid. Plus, Heston shares how to build direct DM-to-email funnels, so your followers never have to leave Instagram.What You'll Learn:[03:22] Why DM automation is a game changer for content that works while you sleep [08:34] The problem with “click the link in bio” (and why it lowers conversions) [13:41] How DM automations help grow your following through better engagement [16:57] Step-by-step: turning DMs into an email funnel without leaving Instagram [21:40] The truth about small accounts: why it still works with low engagement [26:17] Mistakes to avoid: over-general keywords, automations that feel spammy, and more [31:06] Using deep links to drive traffic directly into apps like YouTube [39:45] How to keep it personal (and still scalable) with voice notes and custom automations [45:58] Heston's subscription for creators who want to master ManyChat and chat funnelsKey Takeaways:DM automation reduces friction: instead of making followers stop scrolling, visit your profile, and figure out your links, it meets them right where they already are—your DMs.You can build email funnels inside Instagram: ask followers for their name & email in the DMs, sync to your email platform, and send them your freebie without them leaving the app.ManyChat (our favorite tool) is a Meta business partner, which means it's approved and safe to use directly with Instagram.Even small accounts can see ROI: you don't need thousands of comments—sometimes one new subscriber or client makes the whole system worth it.Use specific keywords like “getpod” or “hotguide” to trigger automations and avoid accidental triggers.
