The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 389 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak DESCRIPTION In this episode, Craig and Peter discuss the existential fears that dentists face, particularly around negative reviews and legal threats. They explore the resilience of dental practices, the importance of taking action in the face of fear, and the value of having a support network. The conversation emphasizes that many challenges are common in the dental profession and that strategic thinking and experience can help navigate these obstacles. TAKEAWAYS Many dentists fear negative reviews and legal threats. Business resilience is often underestimated by new dentists. It's crucial to separate work stress from home life. Lawsuits and conflicts are part of the entrepreneurial journey. Experience helps build confidence in handling challenges. Taking action is the antidote to fear and anxiety. Strategic thinking can mitigate potential issues in practice. Support networks are vital for emotional well-being in dentistry. Most worries are unfounded and never come to fruition. Being a leader means facing challenges head-on.

Episode #593: Kim Campbell - Contingency Planning, Responding to Adversity, Earning Trust & Respect, Flying in the Face of Fear, and How To Run a Debrief Aviate, Navigate, Communicate - "Aviate, navigate, communicate" is a fundamental principle in aviation that pilots learn early in flight training. It's a priority order that helps pilots stay focused and in control, even when they're under pressure or distracted:  Aviate: Keep the plane flying Navigate: Figure out where you are and where you're going Communicate: Talk to air traffic control (ATC) or someone else as needed On March 20, 2003, Kim wrote letters to her loved ones in case she died in battle. Prepare, practice, and plan for contingencies. My college football coach, the late great, Terry Hoeppner used to always say, have a plan, work the plan, plan for the unexpected. As leaders, it's on us to prepare, practice, and plan for contingencies. You don't have to get ready if you stay ready. I love the way Kim's dad helped support her dream to be a fighter pilot. If you want to do this, you have to put in the work. Run hills, and do pull-ups every time you go to the bathroom. He didn't just tell her you can do whatever you want… He created opportunities for Kim to do the necessary work to achieve what she wanted. Kim's telling of the story of how she was hit and how she responded. An amazing example of responding in the face of fear, dealing with adversity in a calm, poised manner, and making a tough decision. Kim's training and her attitude is what set her apart and saved her life. Response to Rejection: Initially Kim was rejected by the Air Force Academy because of a low SAT score. In response, instead of quitting and moving on, she wrote a letter to them every week stating why they should accept her… Which they eventually did. Dealing with fear: What's most important is what we do in the face of fear. We can't freeze. We must take action. The Debrief: Check your rank and ego at the door. Write all the objectives down. Next to each one, grade it a plus or a minus. Find the root causes of each mistake. What lessons can we learn from our mistakes? What will we change for our next mission based on what we learned? Share lessons learned beyond that room. Johnny Bravo - Be humble, approachable, and credible. That's how you earn trust and respect and inspire others to follow.

“Something I always talk about is being prepared for the unexpected.”For Venezuelan BMX rider Daniel Dhers, the key to competing at the highest level is being prepared for something to go wrong at any moment – no matter how unlikely it seems. On Mind Set Win this week, Daniel reveals how truly embracing this attitude has enabled him to build a long and successful career. He explains that it's not about always having the perfect solution in stressful situations, but rather not panicking, and taking things step-by-step.Hosts Cédric and York lean into the theme of contingency planning, and introduce an exercise that helps you map out how to react when a situation throws what Daniel refers to as a “banana peel” at you. They identify three stages: green, orange and red – similar to a traffic light system.Green means that everything is going according to plan.Orange means that a minor obstacle has occurred.Red symbolises that a big obstacle has happened.What is your plan B? How do you want to react? In general, the plan of action should be oriented towards remaining calm and figuring out the next steps without disruptive emotions, like taking a deep breath or listening to your favourite song.Chapters:1.

High-stakes rescue missions often involve providing medical care in extremely challenging and high-stress environments. Transitioning from a military career to civilian life can be a difficult process, but finding new purpose and applying military skills in innovative ways can ease this transition. The role of technology in military operations is critical, highlighting the need for continuous innovation and adaptation. Being a war hero extends beyond the battlefield; it includes sharing experiences, knowledge, and insights to inspire and guide others. Pararescuemen undergo comprehensive medical training that continues to evolve and improve over time, preparing them for the various challenges they may encounter in the field. Pain control and the ethical use of medications in combat situations are vital skills for Pararescuemen. Contingency planning for medical supplies is a crucial aspect of their role, often dealing with limited resources in high-pressure situations. The importance of maintaining high ethical standards, integrity, and team dynamics when providing medical care in the field cannot be overstated. The transition from military to civilian life often involves a search for new purpose, and entrepreneurship can provide a fulfilling path for veterans.   Episode Keywords: Air Force Pararescueman, Chad McCoy, Combat Deployments, Medical Training, High-Profile Rescue Missions, Medical Care, Technology in Military Operations, Contingency Planning, Post-Military Experiences, Co-Founding Firestorm Labs, Resilience, Purpose, Combat Experiences, Special Tactics Squadron, Pain Control, Equipment, Ethics, Challenges, Tactical Medicine, Prolonged Field Care, Telemedicine, Innovation, Entrepreneurship, Military Life, New Purpose Transition, Legacy in Military Medicine Hashtags: #wardocs #military #medicine #podcast #MilMed #MedEd #AirForceMedicine #AirForcePararescueman #CombatLife #ChadMcCoy #MilitaryMedicine #HighStakesRescue #BattlefieldStories #TransitioningToCivilianLife #FirestormLabs #SurvivingTheSkies #ResilienceInCombat   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine   The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

So I would just keep that in mind." - Shane Melanson

I am an optimist. I believe things will work out.  However, when it comes to my business I also know that things can go wrong, and planning is not being negative, it is being prepared. Accidents happen. Even minor mishaps can be major catastrophes for small business owners. Every year, thousands of companies are unprepared for the interruption caused by a minor fire, flood, and burglary or computer meltdown. Creating, and implementing a Business Continuity Plan as part of your overall business plan ensures your business survives any disaster. Are you prepared? I have seen studies which say anywhere from 25 – 75 percent of businesses suffering a disaster fail to reopen or close soon after. While the stats may vary, the general consensus is a well thought out recovery plan matched with appropriate insurance makes the difference between survival and business extinction. What should your disaster planning process include? Computer Backup – For many small business owners, the computer is the heart and soul of the business. Unfortunately computers crash, there are hackers and virus' attack, natural disasters and every user makes mistakes from time to time. The consequences can be disastrous. Rebuilding financial information, contact lists, E-mail records or project files can be time-consuming, expensive and sometimes impossible. Online backups are very affordable. Not sure if you need to spend the money? Ask yourself these questions: If my computer didn't turn on tomorrow: Would I still have a business? Would I lose a significant amount of time, and money rebuilding my data Would I know what to do? Don't like the answers? Then it is time to explore a back up solution. Equipment Replacement – Beyond restoring your data, you need to plan for equipment replacement. Talk to your insurance agent to be sure you have enough coverage to replace furniture, equipment, inventory and other assets. Take the time to inventory all the assets in your building. Have a list of important equipment, serial numbers, purchase date and even photos. This will really simplify the process of filing an insurance claim. Temporary Location – Where will you and your team work if your building is not accessible? Putting systems in place for employees to work remotely is helpful even if it is only a day or two interruptions caused by inclement weather. You just don't want to test those systems for the very first time when something big goes wrong. Funding operations – Disasters have a way of piling up. Not only will you need to deal with the things listed above, you may incur additional expenses for moving or damages caused by missed deadlines. Business continuity insurance will help cover the other unexpected costs. Customer Care – In some cases, you won't be able to complete a project because of a serious interruption to your operations. Having a relationship with another firm who can take care of your customers in the short term will allow you to preserve the customer relationship for the long term. Disaster planning is not a set it and forget it kind of process. If you are smart, you will revisit your crisis plan every year. Why? Because as your business grows, your risks grow as well. You may be lucky and never have a fire, flood, burglary or another disaster. But a little disaster planning now will save you lots of headaches down the road.
