Come see and talk to Elvis and Barb at all these amazing shows coming up in 2026* Cal-Lab Association Meeting in Chicago Feb 19-20 https://cal-lab.org/ LMT Lab Day Chicago Feb 19-21 https://lmtmag.com/lmtlabday Dental Lab Association of Texas Meeting in Dallas Apr 9-11 https://members.dlat.org/ exocad Insights in Mallorca, Spain Apr 30 - May 1 https://exocad.com/insights-2026 This week Elvis and Barb sit down with Helen Tanaka — a removable, implant, and digital workflow specialist whose career started in one of the most relatable ways possible: as a dental lab driver. What began as a job delivering cases quickly turned into a full-blown passion once she stepped inside the lab and saw what technicians were creating. From trimming dies and waxing copings to managing labs, supporting implant surgeries, teaching doctors chairside, and leading removable and implant teams, Helen shares a journey built on curiosity, persistence, and a deep drive to understand the why behind everything in dental technology. Helen talks about working her way through crown and bridge fundamentals before discovering her true passion in removables, dentures, implants, and occlusion. After getting real-world lab experience, she attended dental technology school, studied all six specialties, and continued expanding her knowledge through advanced occlusion training and continuing education. She explains why understanding morphology, materials, and occlusal principles is critical — especially today — and why technicians must know more than just the steps of fabrication. For Helen, dentures and implant prosthetics offer the ultimate puzzle, combining anatomy, function, and problem-solving in ways that keep her constantly engaged. The conversation dives deep into digital dentistry, guided surgery, and removable workflows, with Helen sharing her early experiences launching digital denture and sleep appliance programs long before the workflows were polished. She discusses digital record capture, stackable surgical guides, implant planning, photogrammetry, and where digital still needs improvement — especially for removable prosthetics. While she embraces technology, she stresses that software is only as good as the technician behind it, and that skipping fundamentals creates bigger problems later. Digital is powerful, but it doesn't replace understanding. Education is a major theme throughout the episode. Helen regularly teaches doctors and technicians, speaks at courses, supports live implant conversions, and works with dental students. She emphasizes that many clinicians today lack confidence in dentures and removable workflows, often because fundamentals are under-taught, and she sees technicians as essential partners in closing that gap. She and the hosts discuss how removable cases are frequently rushed, underpaid, and misunderstood — even though they replace a critical body function — and why slowing down, capturing correct records, and returning to basics solves many of the “mystery” failures labs see every day. Helen also shares stories from her time with large organizations and clinical teams, including MicroDental, ClearChoice, Arklign, and implant education centers, where she has worked in technical service, management, training, and quality oversight roles. She talks about networking, mentoring, never burning bridges, and investing in people coming up in the industry. Her approach to both dentistry and life centers around curiosity and accountability — always asking why, always backing decisions with data, and always trying to do the right thing even when no one is looking. Throughout the episode, the energy stays fun and honest, with stories about speeding delivery runs, early digital growing pains, chairside save-the-case moments, and the reality of fixing cases that skipped key steps. Helen brings passion, technical depth, and a strong belief that knowledge should be shared, not guarded. It's a conversation about growth, fundamentals, digital evolution, and why great technicians still matter more than ever.

This week on the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Nate Wright, Dr. Joe Boot, and Dr. Michael Thiessen review Russell Brand’s remarks at TPUSA’s AmericaFest and reflect on what they reveal about public faith, repentance, and cultural renewal. They discuss the twin dangers Christians often fall into with celebrity conversions—either uncritically platforming new believers or cynically dismissing their professions of faith—and argue for a biblically grounded middle road marked by discernment, prayer, and patience. The conversation highlights Brand’s emphasis on repentance, his critique of statism, and his growing vision for Christian culture that avoids both pietistic retreat and forced political triumphalism. Ultimately, the episode points beyond personalities to the real hope of cultural reformation: transformed people, faithful discipleship, and the advancing kingdom of Christ.

Your customers aren't unmotivated—they're scared. Consumer psychology expert Matt Sucha explains why addressing fear outperforms aggressive selling every time. One bank's free insurance offer flopped until they tackled customer skepticism head-on. The result? A 167% conversion increase without changing the product. The secret lies in subconscious decision-making. When a water heater salesperson started presenting two options instead of one "perfect" choice, his conversion rate nearly doubled. Why? Choice reduces anxiety and creates empowerment. Sucha's breakthrough: communication changes three things—what people feel, think, and do. If you can't define all three outcomes before your pitch, you're guessing.

Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, stepped into eternity last week and a letter was shared saying that he had given his life to Christ just prior to his passing. What makes this moment so striking isn't just the confession itself, but the way he framed it. In the letter it seemed he wasn't entirely convinced in the traditional sense. Instead, he described his decision more like a Pascalian wager, a calculated choice made in the face of uncertainty, suffering and mortality that raises some uncomfortable and fascinating questions. Is faith still faith if it merely begins with a wager? Can belief be genuine, even if doubt never fully leaves? And what do we make of so-called deathbed conversions? Are they real transformations of the heart or last minute insurance policies against the unknown?

#748 Is AI really killing copywriting — or is it exposing just how powerful your message needs to be? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with Marisa Corcoran, founder of Copy Confident Society, to unpack why copywriting isn't “dead” in the AI era — it's more important than ever. Marisa shares her wild pivot from professional acting (yes, a Winnie the Pooh audition was the breaking point) to building a thriving copy community, and explains why business owners must “create their own stage” through platforms like podcasts, summits, or content series. You'll also learn why most “copy problems” are actually messaging problems, plus Marisa's practical Ghostbusters-inspired “Proton Pack” framework to clarify what you sell, who you help, and how to make your message memorable — so the right people remember you, rave about you, and refer you! What we discuss with Marisa: + Copy isn't dead — messaging matters + Creating your own stage + Actor's guide to copy + Messaging vs. copy problems + Standing out in a crowded market + Ghostbusters “Proton Pack” framework + Remembered, raved about, referred + Building in public + AI as a copy collaborator + Writing from lived experience Thank you, Marisa!

Starting January 28, 2026, military members can finally convert their traditional TSP to Roth while still serving...and if you're deployed to a combat zone, you could convert tens of thousands at near-zero tax rates. Brian "ALF" O'Neill from Wingman Wealth breaks down the game-changing TSP in-plan conversion feature and reveals why this could be a 6- or 7-figure lifetime tax savings for service members who get the strategy right. Main Points Roth vs Traditional Basics- Roth is "tax insuranc" against future taxation Why Military Tax Rates Are So Low What Are TSP In-Plan Conversions? New feature launched January 28, 2026 Convert traditional TSP to Roth TSP while still serving (previously had to wait until separation or age 59½) Can do up to 26 conversions per year Entire converted amount added to taxable income for that year Critical: TSP does NOT allow tax withholding; must have cash set aside externally Conversions are irreversible (no recharacterization allowed) The Combat Zone Golden Opportunity CZTE (Combat Zone Tax Exclusion) drops taxable income to near-zero Can convert large traditional TSP balances at 0-12% tax rates during deployment year Don't have to convert while physically in combat zone—any time during that tax year Example: E-5 deployed full year could convert $50,000+ at minimal tax cost Combat zone contributions also pro-rata (10% CZTE balance = only 90% of conversion taxable) This opportunity disappears after separation—can't replicate as civilian Tax Planning Essentials Paying the Tax Bill Strategic Timing for Conversions Best time #1: End of year (November-December) when you know actual income Best time #2: During market downturns—pay tax on lower value, convert more shares Example: $10,000 balance drops to $5,000, convert at 12% = $600 tax vs. $1,200 Don't tie conversions to deployment timing—tie to when you can see full-year income picture Can dollar-cost-average with multiple conversions throughout year (but probably unnecessary) The "2-1-0" Framework (Advanced) Two: Optimize for two spouses, married filing jointly, similar lifespans One: Optimize for surviving spouse facing higher single tax rates (widow/widower penalty) Zero: Optimize for heirs—prepay tax bill, leave Roth money to children Advanced strategy: High-earning children gift parents money for Roth conversions at parent's lower rate Who Should Convert and How Much Five-Year Rules and Withdrawal Restrictions Common Mistakes to Avoid Implementation Details Related Strategies When Professional Help Makes Sense First-time converters with 5-figure amounts Complex family situations (multiple income sources, kids in college) High-income earners considering large conversions Anyone uncertain about tax projections Use MFAA advisors, Military Tax Experts Alliance, or fee-only CFPs Resources & Links Wingman Wealth: wingmanwealth.com Military Financial Advisors Association (MFAA): militaryfinancialadvisors.org Fighter Pilot Finance Facebook Group (managed by Alf) Nectarine: hellonectarine.com (fee-only advisor consultations) Military Tax Experts Alliance: militarytaxexperts.org IRS Estimated Tax Payments: irs.gov Dinky Town Calculators (free tax projection tools): dinkytown.net/taxes.html Related Podcast Episodes: Episode 2: TSP Deep Dive (most popular episode) Various TSP fund analysis episodes Key Takeaways TSP in-plan conversions launched January 28, 2026—military members can now convert traditional TSP to Roth while still serving without waiting for separation Combat zone deployments create once-in-a-lifetime opportunities—CZTE income drops taxable income to near-zero, enabling $50,000+ conversions at 0-12% tax rates You must have external cash for taxes—TSP does NOT allow withholding from conversions; need savings, refund, or estimated payments ready Most military members face higher retirement tax rates—pension + civilian job + Social Security likely pushes you into 22-24% brackets, making Roth conversions at current 10-12% rates a no-brainer Conversions are irreversible—no recharacterization allowed, so measure twice and do tax projections before converting Market downturns are conversion opportunities—when account value drops 50%, you pay tax on half the value but convert the same number of shares BRS members have automatic conversion candidates—5% government match always goes traditional, creating ongoing conversion opportunities if you're in low brackets State residency matters enormously—converting while legal resident of Texas saves 5-13% vs. high-tax states like California or New York This could be six-figure lifetime tax savings—depending on account size, career length, and strategy execution, potential $10,000-$100,000+ in tax savings November is optimal conversion month—you know actual income for the year, can calculate exact bracket room, and avoid year-end surprises Spencer and Jamie offer one-on-one Military Money Mentor sessions.

#725 What if the fastest way to grow your e-commerce revenue isn't more traffic — but fixing what happens after customers land on your site? In this episode, host Kirsten Tyrrel sits down with Matthew Stafford, founder of Build Grow Scale, to unpack why most e-commerce businesses don't actually have a traffic problem — they have a conversion problem. Matthew shares how his journey from concrete work to building multi-million-dollar online stores led him to obsess over data, customer experience, and small optimization “hinges” that swing big revenue doors. The conversation dives into practical CRO insights like website speed, checkout optimization, micro-copy, and working backward through the funnel — while also exploring the often-overlooked role emotional intelligence plays in entrepreneurship, leadership, and decision-making. If you want to increase sales without chasing vanity metrics and build a business that works better for both you and your customers, this episode is packed with powerful takeaways! What we discuss with Matthew: + Traffic vs. conversion problem + Optimizing existing visitors + Website speed & load time + Data-driven CRO decisions + Checkout page optimization + Micro-copy that converts + Working backward through funnels + Customer psychology & trust + Emotional intelligence in business + Removing ego from decisions Thank you, Matthew!

Today's episode cracks open one of the most unintuitive persuasion effects hiding in plain sight: customers are 149% more likely to say yes to an offer… when it's presented as something that wasn't meant for them. Sarah and Nate break down the original Journal of Marketing Research study (2013), walk through real examples from DTC, SaaS, and Nate's own infamous bar-tab email campaign, and show how brands accidentally stumble into this effect all the time. We explore: • why "this isn't usually for you, but…" is irresistible to new customers • how pro-level products trigger aspiration psychology • the difference between unintentional offers vs. unlock offers • how TetherOS and Adapt could test this framing immediately • why this fits under the broader umbrella of "pre-purchase surprise & delight" If you've ever run a "we weren't supposed to do this but…" promo (or fallen for one) this episode makes the science obvious…and profitable.
Shorenstein CEO Brandon Shorenstein and CBRE's Patrick Gildea discuss why the office market is poised for a comeback. Hear what they have to say about risk-adjusted returns, property conversions, the importance of workplace amenities and more.Key takeaways on office investing: Office market is recovering: Investment activity in the office sector is rebounding with more bidders and increased debt availability. Investment strategies have shifted: Investors are focused on cash flow and downside protection, with cash-on-cash yields reaching 8%–15%. Micro-market dynamics are key amid a flight to quality: Prime assets in live-work-play submarkets are outperforming, while obsolete buildings face demolition or conversion, reducing overall supply. Conversions are limited: Selective repositioning is critical, as only a small percentage of office buildings are structurally viable for residential or hotel conversions. Occupier priorities have changed: Tenants now prioritize wellness, sustainability and experiential amenities, driving demand for high-quality spaces.

On this football recap, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan link up with NFL legend and FOX analyst Greg Olsen to break down another loaded week across the league. The boys open with the analytics behind the Bears–Eagles two-point decision and why the numbers sparked debate across NFL circles. They move into Panthers–Rams before taking a full lap around the NFC East and asking the big question: can the Cowboys actually win the division? They also dive into the NFC North race, hit the AFC South battles shaping the playoff picture, and close with Miami’s headline storyline — should the Dolphins stay committed to Mike McDaniel? Plus in our college portion, Taylor breaks down Ohio State’s exorcism of Michigan with Ohio State Head Coach, Ryan Day, the boys recap Lane Kiffin’s bolt from Ole Miss to LSU for $100M, Pate calls Florida’s Jon Sumrall hire a near catastrophic miss if Auburn didn’t land Alex Golesh.

Heisman talk gets spicy (Julian Sayin, Diego Pavia, and Indiana’s zero-pick rocket Fernando Mendoza). With the college football landscape being so chaotic The Boys are here to make sense of it all.

The Webinar Strategy That's Boosting Sales (Even in a Trust Recession) If you've been hearing that webinars are dead or that they don't work anymore, I'm here to tell you that's absolutely not true!

In this episode, I'll pull back the curtain on what worked (and what didn't) during my recent launch, and share the exact webinar strategies that made all the difference. From perfect timing to messaging shifts that met my audience where they are right now, I'll break down everything you need to know about making webinars work in today's landscape. You'll hear why showing up live has a higher perceived value during this trust recession we're in, plus I share the three powerful questions (inspired by Alex Hormozi) that helped me close sales on the spot. Whether you've done webinars before or you're thinking about adding them to your strategy, this episode will show you exactly how to make them work for your business! HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Webinar Timing is Everything – Get your best benefits, features, price, and link between the 45-60 minute mark. This is when attention is highest and conversions happen most. 2️⃣ Message For Where Your Audience Is Now – Instead of talking about big, flashy numbers or a jetsetter lifestyle, meet people where they are. This year, that meant focusing on relatable student success stories and helping people simply pay their bills. 3️⃣ Use Three Closing Questions to Help Decision Making – Before the Q&A, pose 3 questions: Will this get me closer to my goals? Does this increase my chance of success versus doing it alone? Can I figure out how to make the investment work?
