We walk through the “below the waterline” systems that decide whether dental enquiries turn into booked consultations and treatment starts, not just clicks and impressions.We share a real UK case study from a three-surgery practice in the Midlands that grows from a £65,000 monthly average to £180,000+ across 24 months. The lesson is clear: the difference is not one channel. It is foundations plus follow-up. We talk clinical excellence and social proof, then move into practical dental marketing fundamentals like tracking and pixels, building a clear ideal patient avatar, keeping every online touchpoint consistent, and using multiple platforms so your pipeline is not at the mercy of one algorithm change.Then we tackle the timeline problem that makes ROI reports misleading. Many patients decide on implants and other high-value treatments six to 18 months before they finally book, so visibility and trust compound over time. We get specific on speed to lead (sub-60 second replies, auto-dial, voicemail recovery), qualification questions that lift lead quality, nurture sequences that reduce no-shows, and how to improve TCO and reception conversion with scripts, call recording and AI-assisted call analysis. We also explain which metrics matter most: cost per booked consultation, cost per attended consultation, and cost per acquired patient by treatment.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

Second to imaging, this is probably THE most common diagnostic procedure performed in internal medicine. But it's also the one where most of us have been taught wrong - or not taught enough, and I really want to change that over the next few episodes. There's a misconception that looking at the scope the wrong way will break it, and as a result, we end up scared to touch it for fear of it costing our clinics thousands of pounds. But in reality, there's so much nursing to be done with patients during endoscopy procedures - and if we spend our careers trying to do anything but touch the scope, we miss out on all of those skills. So over the next few weeks, we'll look at the common endoscopic procedures (and some not so common ones). We'll explore the different scopes available, how they differ, and how to handle, use, and maintain them. And we'll chat all about the care our patients need from us as they undergo endoscopic procedures - so you can use more of your skills caring for these patients in practice. Today, we're starting with gastrointestinal endoscopy. We'll look at the different GI procedures, the anatomy of a GI scope, and how to monitor, support and nurse your patients. ---

Your meditation doesn't need better willpower, a quieter mind, or a more “spiritual” seat on the floor. With renowned meditation teacher Susan Piver, we practice a clear, grounded approach to mindfulness meditation that starts where your body already is: feeling your weight land, sitting upright with dignity, softening the belly, and letting the jaw and shoulders finally unclench. If you've ever wondered whether a chair “counts,” you'll love her reminder that it does.We also explore eyes-open meditation in a way that feels surprisingly gentle. Susan shares how to cast the gaze down, let vision mix with space, and stop turning attention into a hard stare. From there we move into breath awareness without breath control, and a key insight that changes everything for overthinkers: don't just notice the breath, feel it as expansion and letting go.Then we get honest about thoughts. Thinking isn't the enemy, and spacing out isn't failure. When you catch yourself lost in a storyline, you silently label “thinking,” let go, and return. The best part: you get infinite fresh starts. We close with a behind-the-scenes conversation on teaching meditation, timing silence, and adjusting pacing online or in a room by reading the group's energy with humility.Subscribe for more practical mindfulness, share this with a friend who wants a simpler practice, and leave a review.

This podcast is all about founders having the capacity to grow. Nicola Anderson is a Business Growth expert and she shares her DASH framework to help founders push on from the £1-5m turnover level.Summary of the PodcastKey TakeawaysFounder Bottleneck: Business growth often stalls at £1M–£5M turnover because the founder becomes the decision-making bottleneck, losing the strategic headspace needed for further expansion.DASH Framework: Nicola Anderson's framework (Delegate, Automate, Stop, Hire) provides a structured process to create capacity to grow before hiring, which prevents costly mistakes and ensures new roles are strategic.Human-AI Integration: The most successful businesses will integrate human connection with AI efficiency. Over-reliance on AI from a single person creates significant operational risk and lacks the trust required for major deals.Strategic Exit: Founders often seek to shift from day-to-day operations to a strategic role (e.g., Chairman) to gain lifestyle freedom without full retirement, requiring a business that functions independently.The Founder Business Growth BottleneckBusinesses naturally grow around the founder, making them the central hub for all decisions.This model is sustainable to a point (e.g., £1M–£5M turnover) but eventually leads to the founder being consumed by day-to-day tasks.Consequence: Growth stalls because the founder loses the strategic headspace required for innovation, planning, and external opportunities like acquisitions.Impact: This also erodes the personal freedom and work-life balance the founder initially sought.The DASH Framework for Capacity to GrowThe DASH framework provides a structured process to create capacity to grow before hiring, preventing costly mistakes.D → Delegate: Identify tasks that can be delegated.Prerequisite: Trust in the team is essential for effective delegation.Rationale: Delegate non-core tasks to free up time for enjoyable, high-value work.A → Automate: Use technology (e.g., CRMs, AI agents) to handle repeatable tasks.S → Stop: Eliminate unnecessary activities (e.g., redundant reports, legacy spreadsheets) that add no value.H → Hire: Only hire after completing the first three steps.Rationale: This ensures new roles are strategic and prevents hiring at the wrong level (e.g., a full-time COO vs. a fractional one).Risk: Hiring too quickly creates another "wire" (decision point) for the founder if the role isn't clearly defined.Human-AI Integration & RiskThe most successful businesses will effectively integrate human talent with AI tools.Risk of AI-Only Models: Graham cited an example where a large company rejected an AI service provider after discovering it was a one-person operation.Reason: The operational risk was too high (e.g., if the person became unavailable), and the lack of human connection undermined trust.Human Connection: People buy from people they know, like, and trust, especially for significant investments. AI should support, not replace, this connection.Client Profile & EngagementTypical Clients: Founders at £1M–£5M turnover facing stalled growth, burnout, or preparing for an exit.Client Goals:Create a saleable business that doesn't depend on the founder.Shift from day-to-day operations to a strategic role (e.g., Chairman) for more lifestyle freedom.Engagement Model:Phase 1 (Intensive): A 30-day engagement for £2,500 to apply the DASH framework and create an action plan.Phase 2 (Partnership): Ongoing support for accountability and implementation, with a team of freelancers for specific tasks (e.g., CRM setup).Example: Nicola's work with David B. Horne helped him define the CEO role ("Karis") needed to transition to a Chairman position.The Next 100 Days Podcast Co-HostsGraham ArrowsmithGraham founded Finely Fettled in 2014 to provide data from The UK High Net Worth Database to marketers targeting affluent and high-net-worth customers.

Natalie Cheesman, Partner at St. James's Place, joins Sam Oakes to talk about how she built a financial planning practice to £6 million in funds under management in 18 months, without ever fully stepping away from the mortgage business she'd run for 15 years. In this episode, Natalie explains why a transactional mortgage career, however loyal her 1,200-client bank was, left her wanting something more predictable, and what it actually took to build financial planning on top of it rather than instead of it.Natalie talks through passing the CII Investment Advice Diploma in under a year while still running that mortgage business solo, and training through the St. James's Place Academy while continuing to submit mortgage applications in the evenings and on breaks. She describes the support that got her through those first months as a new financial planner, including a business development manager she'd sometimes speak to daily and an administrative specialist who had her submitting business from day one, and how she methodically worked back through her existing client bank and added mortgage-introducer partnerships to grow from £40,000 to £6 million in funds under management through organic growth alone.She also talks about the moment a client realises they can retire years earlier than they thought, what it took to keep building a business through a genuinely hard period in her own life, and what winning the Mike Wilson Award meant to her after 18 months of work.Key takeaways from this episode:Why Natalie kept her mortgage business running while training as a financial plannerHow she passed the CII Investment Advice Diploma in under a year while running that business soloWhat day-to-day support from a St. James's Place business development manager and administrative specialist looked likeHow she rebuilt momentum with her existing 1,200-client mortgage bankHow a mortgage-introducer partnership became a steady source of new businessHow she grew from £40,000 to £6 million in funds under management in 18 monthsWhat winning the Mike Wilson Award meant to her, and the resilience behind itThis is an episode for mortgage advisors weighing up whether financial planning is the right next move for them, and for newer financial planners looking for a practical blueprint on client conversion and introducer relationships.Learn more about St. James's Place at www.sjp.co.uk Financial Planner Life is sponsored by Redmill AdvanceWhether you're starting out, already qualified, or building a training academy, Redmill Advance delivers expert-led learning, exam support and CPD from Level 4 to Chartered.✅ Trusted by top UK firms

In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson discusses illness anxiety disorder (IAD), a condition that presents unique challenges for both patients and healthcare professionals. Formerly known as hypochondriasis, IAD is characterised by a persistent fear of having or developing a serious medical illness despite appropriate evaluation and reassurance. These patients often present in primary care and specialist settings, frequently seeking answers for symptoms that may be minimal or entirely absent. Recognising the condition is important, as repeated investigations alone rarely alleviate distress and can contribute to unnecessary healthcare utilisation. This episode explores the clinical features, risk factors, diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis and evidence-based management of IAD. It also discusses practical strategies for building therapeutic relationships and supporting these patients in a compassionate and effective manner.Access episode show notes containing key references and take-home points at:https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/psychiatry/ep-217-illness-anxiety-disorder.Did you know?

Columbia Police have identified the seven people arrested for this weekend's chaotic fights downtown near Ninth and East Walnut. Six of the seven are from Columbia and they range in age from 18 to 57. The fights started Sunday morning at about 1:30. One of the seven arrested, 21-year-old Tinoz'shia Harris of Columbia, is accused of assaulting a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest. Columbia police chief Jill Schlude joined hosts Randy Tobler and Stephanie Bell live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri." The chief says the night watch commander has been pulling CPD resources from other parts of town on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights:

We sit down with Daniel Spencer, a long-time property investor who started in London and now helps clients invest internationally, to unpack what is actually happening on the ground and why Bali property keeps coming up in conversations about overseas real estate.We get specific about the numbers and the mechanics: lower entry prices (including studio apartments), the difference between gross and net rental yield, and why occupancy rate is the make-or-break metric for short-term rentals. Daniel also breaks Bali buyers into three clear groups, from people who visit and buy their first place, to families wanting a base that pays for itself, to pure investors funding off-plan villa communities and focusing on the exit. Along the way, we map Bali's key areas, explain where the “action” sits, and why the island's post-Covid demographic shift towards entrepreneurs, co-working, and wellness is shaping demand.Then we move into the questions everyone asks about property abroad: how the buying process works from the UK, when a local company structure may be needed, what role notaries and legal teams play, and how tax can differ depending on whether you buy a villa, an apartment, or a larger project. If you're researching Bali real estate, Indonesia property investment, or international property for UK dentists, this is a practical starting point for doing your own due diligence.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

‘Resistant hypertension is when you're taking three or more medications and you've not reached target, and usually one of those medications is a diuretic,' Professor Terry McCormack explains in this episode of the Clinical Update podcast. He adds that determining whether patients are truly resistant or just not taking their medication can be difficult. However, he recommends asking subtle questions such as ‘We all forget to take our tablets. How, how often do you forget to take your medication' to gain meaningful answers.Professor McCormack also looks at management options — including combination pills, NICE-recommended therapies, and new treatments that are on the horizon. He observes that patients with resistant hypertension are the ‘highest risk patients' for adverse outcomes such as stroke and, therefore, ‘we need to try our best to get them to take at least the three medications that are available to us at this time, to consider single pill combinations and, in the future, consider other treatments,'.Educational objectivesAfter listening to this podcast, healthcare professionals should be better able to:Sensitively ask patients about their adherence to antihypertensive medicationsEncourage patients to adhere to medications regimens by discussing of risks of not taking their medications (such as a debilitating stroke)Understand the pros and cons of single-pill combination therapy for managing hypertensionReview NICE recommendations on managing resistant hypertensionDiscuss new treatments on the horizon for managing resistant hypertensionYou can access the website version of this podcast, along with key learning points, on MIMS Learning.

About Unpredictable Magic: Angelina Everhart-Trueblood and her brother Evan run Everhart Investigations, a PI firm in Chattanooga that solves paranormal crimes committed by supernatural beings. When their new client wants help finding her friend, who supposedly disappeared during a reception at Angie's aunt Jane's winter residence, things get… complicated. The client is not who she appears to be, and demons strike the city for the first time since the Witch War. On top of that, evidence is pointing toward the involvement of an overly ambitious vampire—who just happens to be Angie's ex-husband. As Angie and Evan team up with CPD, they will have to dig deep into their magical reserves—and rely on some friends in high places—to rid Chattanooga of the danger creeping into their city.

In this episode of Tramlines, we are joined by William Crookshank from the Environment Agency and Tom Land, Agrii's National Fertiliser Product Manager, to discuss nutrient use, compliance, and why effective nutrient management is essential for both environmental protection and farm profitability. The conversation explores nutrient planning, the management of organic manures, regulatory requirements, and practical steps farmers can take to improve nutrient efficiency while reducing pollution risk.Nutrient management plans are essential: Good nutrient management starts with a robust, regularly reviewed nutrient plan based on current soil analysis, helping farmers optimise inputs, improve efficiency, and meet regulatory requirements. Poor nutrient management remains a challenge: The Environment Agency reports that around a third of farms visited lack a nutrient management plan, and a similar proportion do not have adequate soil sampling, increasing the risk of nutrient loss and non-compliance. Organic manures should be treated as valuable resources, not waste: Testing and understanding the nutrient content of manures, slurries, and digestates allows farmers to maximise their value while avoiding excessive applications of nutrients such as phosphorus. Timing and application matter: Applying organic nutrients when crops can actively use them reduces losses to air and water, improves nutrient use efficiency, and can deliver significant financial savings through reduced fertiliser purchases. Technology and advice can improve outcomes: Soil testing, nutrient planning software, manure analysis, precision application equipment, and support from FACTS-qualified advisers can help farmers balance productivity, profitability, compliance, and environmental stewardship.CPD points:Claim 1 BASIS and NRoSO point for listening.

Dan Hobbs, CEO at New Leaf Distribution, joins Sam Oakes to talk about what building their own podcast has delivered for an IFA Network. He's joined by his father, Founder & Chairman of New Leaf Distribution, Mark Hobbs, whose own scepticism about podcasting turned around once it started outperforming close to £1,000,000 spent on Google Ads." In this episode, Dan and Mark explain why Mark was initially convinced podcasting was a gimmick, and what it took for Dan to change his mind. They talk about why New Leaf deliberately avoided the well worn topics every other network already covers, choosing instead to focus on what it is actually like to become an adviser and what happens in the silence after qualifying, when the phone stops ringing. The conversation also covers how New Leaf supports advisers through retirement and exit, including a striking story about completing a business sale with no contract in place after an adviser's death, and why New Leaf positions itself as a compliance thought leader rather than buying out its own advisers' client banks.Dan and Mark also share what happened after their very first guest, Kelsey Phillips, went live on the podcast, and why New Leaf's own advisers are now lining up, asking to be featured on the podcast.Key takeaways from this episode:Why most business podcasts fail, and what New Leaf built theirs around insteadHow Mark went from thinking podcasting was a gimmick to backing Dan's idea completelyWhy New Leaf avoids generic advice content in favour of what it is really like to become an adviserHow New Leaf supported an adviser's family through a business sale with no contract in placeWhy New Leaf positions itself as a compliance thought leader rather than buying its own advisers' client banksWhy New Leaf would rather a business stay within its own network than go to an M&A buyerHow Kelsey, New Leaf's first podcast guest, ended up with more development finance leads than she was ready forWhy New Leaf's own advisers are now asking to be featured on the podcastThis is an episode for anyone running a business in financial services, who is weighing up whether a podcast is worth the investment, and for any adviser starting to think about what their own exit from the profession might look like.Learn more about New Leaf at https://newleafdistribution.co.uk/ Financial Planner Life is sponsored by Redmill AdvanceWhether you're starting out, already qualified, or building a training academy, Redmill Advance delivers expert-led learning, exam support and CPD from Level 4 to Chartered.✅ Trusted by top UK firms

In episode 120 of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we're talking about a commonly misunderstood condition - feline pancreatitis. We're actually talking about a few conditions that overlap in our cats; alongside pancreatitis, many present with concurrent GI and hepatobiliary disease ('triaditis'). Many cats with cholangiohepatitis, pancreatitis, chronic enteropathy and combinations of these disease present with similar clinical signs, which can make distinguishing from them challenging. Nursing these patients begins with understanding each of these diseases, how they relate to each other, and the impact they have on our patients - and that's exactly what we're talking about today. We're going to spend the next half an hour or so chatting all about pancreatitis and related diseases - the myths, misconceptions, nursing needs, and the skills you can use in practice when caring for these often challenging patients. --- Looking for medical nursing CPD?

I've blogged before on the College of Policing's Sergeant and Inspector Promotion and Progression (SIPP) scheme. It is more complex, more time-consuming for all parties, and is being trialled with great flex between forces. And the College really don't like sharing information about it.I've previously pointed out it would be 'doomed to succeed', as these top-down initiatives always seem to get implemented regardless of the evidence for or against.But now we have official confirmation, before the evidence or feedback has even been collated. SIPP WILL be going ahead, replacing the NPPF, and sooner rather than later. But with a twist... it has been also officially declared SIPP is only a temporary solution.

Trying harder can feel like the only option until it stops working. We sit down with Solala Towler, a longtime teacher of Qigong, Taoist meditation, and the Way of Tea, to explore a different approach: alignment over strain, flow over force, and practice that meets you where you are. Solala shares his personal path into Eastern philosophy, the early hunger for something more grounded than words, and the moment Taoist teachings clicked with a sense of “coming home.”From there, the conversation turns deeply practical. Solala explains how chronic fatigue syndrome left him bedridden, how Chinese herbs helped him stand again, and why Qigong became central to his healing journey. We talk about Taoism as the root of many Chinese medicine principles and how working with qi is not reserved for the ultra-fit or the already-calm. Standing, moving, seated, and even lying-down forms make Taoist meditation and Qigong accessible tools for stress relief, recovery, and steady energy.We also dig into the core Taoist principles that change how you live day to day: flexibility, authenticity, and especially wu wei, often misunderstood as doing nothing. Here it becomes something sharper and kinder: not forcing, not overextending, not pushing the river. The metaphor of water runs through it all, showing how adaptability can be strength rather than compromise. Finally, we explore why nature is considered the highest teacher in Taoism, and how seasonal rhythms can guide your body and mind back toward balance.If you found something helpful here, subscribe so you don't miss what's next, share the episode with a friend who needs a softer way forward, and leave a review.

Dr Amanda Gummer, founder of FUNdamentally Children, is a renowned child development expert, and often features in media discussing the role of play in learning. Through FUNdamentally Children and the Good Play Guide, she offers valuable insights on educational toys and parenting, helping families make informed choices for their children's development and well-being.This podcast explores play's role in child development and brand strategy.Summary of the PodcastKey TakeawaysMission: FUNdamentally Children translates academic research into practical advice for kids' brands (toys, media, education) to improve products and policy.Method: Research uses naturalistic observation in familiar settings to capture meaningful data, avoiding the "strange kids in strange places" bias of traditional lab studies.Impact: Services de-risk product launches (e.g., preventing a faulty toy release) and sharpen marketing (e.g., identifying a "pizza delivery boy" character as the licensing driver).Challenge: The biggest barrier is the perception of play as frivolous, which hinders its recognition as a powerful tool for developing critical life skills.The Problem: A Gap Between Research & PracticeFUNdamentally Children bridges the gap between academic research and practical application for kids' brands.Clients: Toy companies, digital game developers, TV content creators, playground designers, and policymakers.Core Principle: The Maya Angelou quote, "When you know better, do better." The company provides the "better" knowledge.The Solution: Naturalistic, Child-Centred ResearchResearch avoids the "strange kids in strange places" bias of traditional lab studies.Method: Observe children in familiar settings with trusted people to capture authentic behavior.Quality Control: Rigorously vets other research papers (e.g., for the Children's Media Association) to ensure data validity.The Business Model: De-Risking & Sharpening StrategyFunding comes from corporate clients paying for research and workshops.De-Risking Product Launches:Identified a faulty Thomas the Tank Engine toy (pegs too small for holes) in playtesting, preventing a negative launch and PR.Provided evidence to defend a toy train from a "toy train makes kid bald" headline, proving it was a user accident, not a product fault.Sharpening Marketing & Licensing:Research for a kids' TV show about motorbikes found the "pizza delivery boy" character was the most popular.Insight: Kids were focused on the pizza, not the bike's design or the show's friendship theme.Action: This insight redirected the licensing strategy to focus on the pizza theme.The Philosophy: Play as a Tool for DevelopmentPlay is a powerful tool for developing critical skills (critical thinking, self-reliance, social skills) that traditional education often misses.DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion):Focuses on practical accessibility (e.g., wheelchair ramps in playgrounds) to ensure all children can participate.Distinguishes this from political debates like transgender athletes in sports, which are separate biological issues.Play Commission:Amanda was a commissioner on this year-long project, which produced the "Raising the Nation" report.Goal: Provide evidence to government on play's impact across education, health, and youth justice.The Next 100 Days Podcast Co-HostsGraham ArrowsmithGraham founded Finely Fettled in 2014 to provide data from The UK High Net Worth Database to marketers targeting affluent and high-net-worth customers.

On this episode of Mind the Gap, Tom Sherrington and Emma Turner are joined by Dr. Sarah Oberle, primary teacher, cognitive science advocate and co-author of Executive Functions for Every K–3 Classroom, for a rich and highly practical conversation about what the science of learning means for younger children. Sarah explains why executive functions - especially working memory, inhibition and cognitive flexibility - are not just specialist or SEND concerns, but fundamental cognitive processes that shape how all pupils attend, transition, regulate themselves, follow instructions and engage with learning. The discussion explores how teachers can design classrooms, routines and tasks that respect children's developmental stage, reduce unnecessary interference, and increase automaticity so pupils can focus more of their limited cognitive bandwidth on the learning itself. Through examples such as “Betty and the Bats,” they unpack the hidden demands behind apparently simple classroom tasks, showing how small adjustments to resources, instructions and expectations can make a big difference.Sarah Oberle is an educator, author, speaker, and professional learning designer with 18 years of experience as a primary classroom teacher. Her work centres on helping educators understand how learning happens and how that understanding shapes daily instructional decisions. Sarah designs and facilitates evidence-informed professional learning for teachers and school leaders, both in person and virtually. She works with national and international organizations to ensure professional learning is research-informed, practical, and responsive to the realities of teaching. Her most recent book is Executive Functions for Every K–3 Classroom.

Dr. Ashkan Pitchforth joins us to explain how a UK dentist goes from a first acquisition to a multi-site dental group, without relying on hype or shortcuts. We talk candidly about the early trade-offs: keeping cash inside the business, living modestly, and staying focused on solutions instead of getting stuck on problems. A big part of the conversation is dental practice finance. Ash breaks down how he used rapid performance improvement to release equity, what happens when a bank says no, and why switching lenders can unlock growth when covenants and leverage limits tighten. We also dig into how banking changes once you move past roughly 12 to 15 sites, where you start needing corporate-level structure: CFO thinking, forecasting, HR processes and clean compliance that protects you from nasty surprises later. Then we get into what many owners overlook: the NHS as a strategic advantage when you understand it properly. Ash shares his acquisition criteria centred on NHS contracts and predictable monthly income to ensure debt serviceability. He explains how he learned the rules well enough to move contracts and win tenders, including the humility of stepping into an NHS dental adviser role to learn how commissioners think. Finally, we tackle recruitment and retention, and the therapist-first direct access skill mix model that flips the usual approach so dentists do higher-end work and therapists handle the routine flow, creating a steadier, more satisfying system for the whole team.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

Dan Armitage (CEO of Neuro Sparks) and David Tait (Founder of Redmill Advance,) joins Sam Oakes to talk about supporting neurodivergent individuals in financial planning. Dan spent a decade as a regulated financial adviser, as well as a bank manager in his early twenties, before founding Neuro Sparks with his mother three years ago. He lives with ADHD, dyslexia and dyscalculia himself, and that experience now shapes every part of how he trains other financial planners.In this conversation, Dan explains what it was like navigating a career in financial services before he had the language for his own neurodivergence, and what changed once he understood it properly. He and David discuss why 15% of the population is neurodivergent, and why so many employers still are not equipped to identify or support that within their own teams. They also walk through Dan's own academic journey, from sitting his CII exams with a short term memory in the bottom 1% of the population, through to completing a level seven postgraduate certificate in neurodiversity at university - something he describes as the first time in his life he felt he could genuinely study.David shares how Redmill Advance builds neurodivergent support directly into training academies of up to 500 delegates at a time, including how trainers are taught to spot when someone is struggling and quietly adjust their approach without singling anyone out. Sam also shares his own ADHD diagnosis in detail, and how it changed the way he runs Financial Planner Life, once he understood his own way of working.Key takeaways from this episode:Why 15% of the population is neurodivergent and what that means for financial planning firms todayHow Dan built Neuro Sparks with his mother after a decade as a regulated financial adviserWhat it was like working in financial planning before Dan was diagnosed with ADHD, dyslexia and dyscalculiaHow Dan sat his CII exams with a bottom 1% memory What employers notice, and what they don't, when it comes to how their people thinkWhat reasonable adjustments actually mean under the Equality Act, and where the limits of "reasonable" sit for employersHow Redmill Advance tailors training for neurodivergent delegates inside academies of up to five hundred peopleWhy Sam decided to share his own ADHD diagnosis on the podcast, and what it changed about how he runs Financial Planner LifeThis is an episode for financial planning firms thinking seriously about how they support neurodivergent staff, for managers who want to spot the signs before someone reaches a crisis point, and for any financial planner who has ever wondered whether their own brain works a little differently to everyone else's.Learn more about Neuro Sparks Business Solutions at www.neurosparksolutions.com and Redmill Advance at www.redmilladvance.com/fpl Financial Planner Life is sponsored by Redmill AdvanceWhether you're starting out, already qualified, or building a training academy, Redmill Advance delivers expert-led learning, exam support and CPD from Level 4 to Chartered.✅ Trusted by top UK firms

Just qualified — so why does it feel like the learning is only just beginning? What should you actually focus on in year one: the flawless dentistry on your feed, or something far less glamorous? How do you tell a patient their nerve might die — without it sounding like YOUR fault? And when a patient says “just do whatever you think” — what do you say back? This is the conversation every new dentist needs and every experienced one recognises. Our guest is Dr Emma Hutchison — a former dental nurse who trained at the University of Glasgow, and has been the face of the Protrusive Students series across her studies. We recorded in her final weeks of dental school, right on the threshold of practice, and talked through everything the syllabus skips: the safe-beginner mindset, what to learn (and what to ignore) early on, how to protect your standards under time pressure, which cases to take on, and how to talk to patients about risk, cost and consent so the words actually land. If you're fresh out, this one hits hard. If you're an oldie, it's a trip down memory lane — and a reminder of how far you've come. https://youtu.be/gjJiDVP4w-4 Watch PDP276 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Predict the Complication Before It Happens A communication pearl for every deep restoration. When a filling sits close to the nerve — a big cavity, a crack — name the likely complication before it happens. Show the patient the images, then tell them what to expect: a twinge to cold or hot that can linger a few days, so keep taking painkillers and keep the area clean. And warn them what a red flag looks like: a severe throbbing ache keeping them up at night, or pain out of the blue without eating or drinking, means the nerve is struggling and they should call you. Do this and, if the complication ever arrives, you look like the expert who called it — not someone something went wrong for. Skip it and reception fields the panicked calls instead. It reassures the patient, lowers your callback rate, and quietly reduces your risk profile. Obvious, easy to forget, and worth saying out loud every single time. What You'll Take From This Episode The safe-beginner mindset — why qualifying is the driving licence, not the destination, and how the happiest dentists keep getting 1% better. Just-in-time learning — study for the cases actually in your diary, not the obscure pathology you won't meet for years. Get good before you get fast — master the bread and butter, protect a little extra time early, and reflect on every procedure. Clever hacks vs cutting corners — how to tell the difference, and why every shortcut quietly rewires the habit. Consent that works — getting patients to own the problem, and giving a clear recommendation instead of a fifteen-item menu.

AGD Subject Code: 770 Self-Improvement  Aim & Learning Outcomes Aim: To give early-career dentists a practical framework for the transition from dental school to independent practice — how to keep developing, how to protect clinical standards under time pressure, and how to communicate risk and treatment options as part of valid consent. Learning Outcomes — by the end of this episode, dentists will be able to: Apply a “just-in-time” approach to continuing development, prioritising the competencies relevant to the cases in front of them over isolated advanced techniques. Differentiate time-saving efficiencies from quality-compromising shortcuts, and describe strategies to maintain clinical standards early in practice. Apply structured communication techniques to explain procedural risk, establish a patient's treatment goal, and make a clear, defensible recommendation as part of valid consent.

Busy can start to feel like a personality, especially when you're doing meaningful work and getting rewarded for it. Sean Fargo sits down with Buddhist meditation teacher and author Lodro Rinzler to unpack what happened when external success still left him exhausted, stretched thin, and craving something he couldn't schedule: space. We talk about the real-life shift from New York City to the Hudson Valley, and why changing your environment can be a powerful mindfulness practice all by itself. Lodro shares how he and his wife clarified a single intention for his work, what it looks like to protect relationships while still serving others, and why doubling down on daily meditation and longer retreats can be the most practical form of self-care. If you've been searching for mindfulness for burnout, a sustainable meditation routine, or a way to stop feeling “always on,” you'll hear a grounded path forward. Then we move into heart practices drawn from Tibetan Buddhism that are widely shared across traditions: the four immeasurables of loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity. Lodro explains how loving-kindness for yourself includes the parts you like, the parts you regret, and the parts you'd rather ignore, and he offers an unexpectedly simple “loving-kindness photo” exercise for working with people you find difficult. We also point you to free guided meditations on Lodro's website so you can practice immediately. If this conversation helps, subscribe, share it with a friend who's running on empty, and leave a review with the heart practice you want to try first.BECOME A CERTIFIED MINDFULNESS MEDITATION TEACHER Teach mindfulness with confidence and skill — without self-doubt, fear of judgment, or imposter syndrome.

We tackle the question dentists ask us first, “What's my practice worth?”, and flip it into something far more useful: “What do I need?” Because the valuation on the whiteboard is an output, and if you start there you risk anchoring to a figure that feels big, selling once, and only then discovering the plan was missing.We share our informed exit approach built on three numbers. First, the Lifestyle Number: the cost of your essentials, the experiences you truly value, the support you want to give family, and the resilience you need for care costs, inflation, and living longer than expected. We also unpack why popular retirement rules of thumb like the 4% rule and the rule of 25 can be a helpful prompt, but fall short for UK dentists once you include tax, NHS pensions, and the reality that spending often changes across retirement.Then we move to the Legacy Number and the tax reality that selling a dental practice can turn a life change into a major inheritance tax event, especially as assets shift into your estate. We talk through timing, gifting, wills, and when trusts or family investment companies may be worth exploring with your accountant, tax adviser, and financial planner. Only after the first two numbers do we calculate the Exit Number, so you know the minimum sale price you need and can negotiate with confidence, plan a runway, and choose how and when you step back.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

Abel Prieto joins The Next 100 Days podcast to discuss InCruises as a side gig opportunity and its business model.Summary of the PodcastKey TakeawaysUnique Membership Model: InCruises doubles members' monthly contributions (e.g., $100 → $200) into "Reward Points" for travel, forcing savings and guaranteeing a minimum 25% discount on bookings.Strategic Growth Engine: The affiliate model is a key driver for cruise lines, as 75% of InCruises' travelers are first-time cruisers—a market segment the lines struggle to reach directly.Significant Income Potential: The UK market is largely untapped. A mid-level goal of building a team generating ~$250k/month in sales yields a personal income of ~$50k/month (~£38k).Watertight Affiliate Tracking: The referral-link-only sign-up process prevents commission loss, a common problem with cookie-based affiliate programs.The InCruises Business ModelInCruises (corp. name: InGroup) is a travel club founded in 2016 by Frank Codina. Abel was onboarded as a Communications expert.Membership Tiers:Member: Pays a monthly fee (e.g., $100 or $250) which the company matches 100% in "Reward Points."Example: A $2,000 cruise costs the member $1,000 in cash and $1,000 in company-matched points, representing a 50% total value.Guaranteed Savings:Using Points: 25% minimum discount.Using Cash (Insider Pricing): 17% minimum discount.Key Rule: Points are for travel only and are non-refundable, ensuring members use them for vacations. They are transferable upon death.Partner: An affiliate who sells memberships.Partner Member: Both a paying member and an active affiliate.Company Profitability:Wholesale Pricing: InCruises buys travel inventory at wholesale rates.Commissions: Earns commissions from cruise lines on bookings.Unused Points: Profits from points that are never redeemed.Market & OpportunityGrowth:Sales: $350M in 2023.Customers: 750k+ travelers.Inventory: 21k+ cruises, 430k+ hotels, 350k+ tours.Untapped Markets: The UK and Europe are largely unpenetrated, offering significant growth potential.Demographic Shift: Cruising is attracting a younger audience with more diverse offerings (e.g., Virgin Cruises, onboard activities), expanding the market beyond traditional demographics.Building a Business with InCruisesAffiliate Model: Partners sell memberships, not individual travel bookings.Income Potential (UK Context):Mid-Level Goal: Generate ~$250k/month in team sales.Required Team: ~500–1,000 paying members.Resulting Personal Income: ~$50k/month (~£38k).Graham's Initial Strategy:Initial Test: A careers fair booth with a costumed "stewardess" (Karina) and leaflets to gauge interest.Target Audience: Affluent individuals (45+) who can afford the monthly membership.Leverage Existing Assets: Use the "finelyfettled" database of 278k cruise-takers for targeted outreach.Future Innovation: Develop an AI-powered "core agent" to provide personalised travel recommendations, adding value beyond the standard platform.

Your mind does not just record reality, it edits it, polarizes it, and then makes decisions based on the edit. That is why we can feel certain we are “right” while repeating the same relationship patterns, motivation struggles, and self-sabotaging habits. We welcome world-renowned human behavior expert Dr. John DiMartini to unpack a practical way out: the DiMartini Method, a structured series of cognitive questions designed to balance perception, surface what we have been unconscious of, and turn apparent chaos into usable feedback. We talk about how quickly we can idealize or demonize people by staying conscious of upsides and unconscious of downsides, and how that split perception fuels infatuation, resentment, and regret. Dr. DiMartini shares how asking higher-quality questions can equilibrate the mind, reduce emotional reactivity, and help us become more present so life feels “on the way, not in the way.” If you care about mindfulness, emotional resilience, and personal transformation, this is a concrete framework you can apply immediately. From there, we go deep into values based living and why your hierarchy of values quietly runs your goals, your habits, and your sense of self-worth. Dr. DiMartini explains the difference between intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation, why misaligned goals require constant pushing, and how adopting someone else's “shoulds” can erode authenticity. He also points to his free values determination process at drdmartin.com as a way to clarify what truly matters, set congruent goals, and fill your days with high-priority actions instead of low-priority distractions. If this conversation helps you see your patterns more clearly, subscribe for more practical mindfulness tools, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find it.BECOME A CERTIFIED MINDFULNESS MEDITATION TEACHER Teach mindfulness with confidence and skill — without self-doubt, fear of judgment, or imposter syndrome.

If you've ever wondered why some investors swear by UK commercial property investment while others stick to shares, pensions and buy-to-let, we lay out the real mechanics: what your return is made of, how leases shape risk, and when property genuinely earns its place in a portfolio.We get specific about rental yield versus capital appreciation, and why commercial property can look steadier than equities day to day even though it is not as liquid. Alasdair explains how borrowing can boost return on equity when the deal stacks up, and we pressure-test the assumptions so you can think in net cashflow terms rather than headlines. We also tackle the residential versus commercial debate, including why repairs and ongoing costs can quietly crush buy-to-let returns, and why full repairing and insuring (FRI) leases often shift responsibility back to the tenant in the commercial world.Then we zoom out to what's hot for 2026 and beyond: how risk appetite changes the yield you should expect, why “retail is dead” is an oversimplification, and what has driven industrial property's standout performance since 2020. We also touch on the office market's post-Covid reset and what quality and demand look like now.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

What does it take to leave a secure career, become self-employed and build a financial planning business managing close to £40 million in just three years?In this episode of the Financial Planner Life podcast, Sam Oakes speaks with Samantha Wood, founder of Wood Mitchell Financial Planning and a Partner at St. James's Place.Samantha's career began in the British Army, where she progressed from soldier to officer and developed the discipline, leadership and adaptability that would later shape her career in financial services.After leaving the military, Samantha moved into investment management, completed her Chartered Wealth Manager qualifications and spent almost a decade working with high-net-worth private clients. She later made the decision to leave employment, become a self-employed financial planner and build her own business from the ground up.Samantha shares how she started with zero clients, built trusted relationships with accountants and professional introducers, developed a niche working with business owners and grew her practice to nearly £40 million in assets under management.The conversation also explores why financial planning is about more than investment performance. Samantha explains how strong financial planning can reduce anxiety, improve financial well-being and give clients greater confidence about their future.This episode is essential listening for aspiring financial planners, investment managers considering a career change, military professionals exploring financial services and advisers who want to build a sustainable financial planning business.Subscribe to Financial Planner Life for more honest conversations about careers, leadership, business growth and opportunities within financial planning and financial services.In this episode, you will learn:00:00 From Zero to Nearly £40m Under Management00:40 Samantha Wood's Financial Planning Career Story01:40 Joining the British Army at 1603:29 Transferable Military Skills for Financial Services04:26 Leadership, Communication and Leading from the Front05:33 Discipline, Well-Being and High Performance06:34 Leaving the Military and Exploring New Careers10:50 Breaking into Investment Management13:11 Working with High-Net-Worth Private Clients15:40 Why Client Relationships Matter More Than Technical Knowledge17:27 Becoming a Chartered Wealth Manager19:44 Investment Management vs Financial Planning22:11 How Investment Experience Adds Value for Clients23:54 Financial Planning, Anxiety and Financial Well-Being27:47 Communicating with Clients During Market Volatility32:14 Why Samantha Chose a Career in Financial Planning34:00 Leaving Employment to Build a Financial Advice Business35:10 Why She Chose St. James's Place36:44 Making the Leap into Self-Employment39:31 Planning Your First Year as a Self-Employed Adviser41:02 How Long Does It Take to Earn Consistent Income?44:22 Building a Financial Planning Practice to Nearly £40m45:43 Finding a Financial Planning Niche47:09 Helping Business Owners Plan Beyond Their Business48:28 Building a Referral Network with Accountants50:13 Systems, Technology and Your First 12 Months52:12 Taking Smart Risks and Aiming Higher54:37 Autonomy, Family Life and Running Your Own Practice57:50 The Reality of Being a Financial Planner and Business OwnerTo find out more about Samantha's work at St. James's Place, visit www.sjp.co.ukFinancial Planner Life is sponsored by Redmill AdvanceWhether you're starting out, already qualified, or building a training academy, Redmill Advance delivers expert-led learning, exam support and CPD from Level 4 to Chartered.✅ Trusted by top UK firms

Burnout doesn't usually arrive as a dramatic collapse. It shows up as subtle numbness, constant urgency, and a workplace culture that celebrates “push through” while quietly ignoring the nervous system that makes performance possible. Sean Fargo sits down with Rosina Geiger to explore a concept that belongs at the center of every sustainability strategy: human sustainability. If your ESG goals focus on the planet and the numbers but forget the people doing the work, the system won't hold. Rosina brings a rare inside view from SAP, where she works on sustainability customer adoption and also serves as a Global Mindfulness Ambassador. We talk about the “S” in ESG, the social pillar, and what it looks like when organizations treat mindfulness at work and emotional intelligence as real capabilities, not soft extras. You'll hear how simple rituals like a one-minute arrival can change meetings, reduce reactivity, and build psychological safety across teams. We also go deeper into nervous system awareness through Rosina's experience with long COVID and mind-body coaching, connecting recovery to regulation, rest, and a kinder relationship with intensity. Along the way, we unpack practical tools you can try immediately: micro check-ins that create human connection, three-breath resets, and structured journaling prompts that help people listen to what the body and mind are actually saying. We end with a grounded reminder: you can't force people to change, but the way you show up influences more than you think. If you care about corporate sustainability, burnout prevention, mindfulness training, and building healthier cultures, subscribe, share this with a colleague, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.

That's not a motivation problem and it's not a “work harder” problem. It's financial visibility. We dig into the hidden £100k net profit gap that sits between what your accounts report and what you actually need to know to make decisions week to week, from tax planning to hiring to investing back into the business.Barry shares the reality of being an accidental business owner: brilliant at dentistry, less confident with P&Ls, and often forced to make calls based on old information. We talk about why annual accounts are inherently retrospective, how that pushes you into “rear-view mirror” management, and why scaling needs a future number that scares you and a plan that works backwards. You'll hear real examples of what changes when dentists finally know their break-even point and KPIs, and how that confidence shows up in both profitability and quality of life.Then Shashir gets practical on the question dentists ask all the time: “Why do I have profit but no cash?” We break it down into cash flow forecasting, keeping today's cash intact while planning future outflows, and avoiding over-leverage when you are growing fast. We also cover dental practice benchmarking so you can spot overspend in staff costs, lab fees, materials and overheads, plus why tracking treatment mix by margin matters more than chasing high production values. Finally, we tackle associate profitability and how transparent data can improve trust, performance, and negotiation.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

But the journey between those two moments nearly broke her.In this episode of Financial Planner Life, Sam Oakes sits down with Romany to hear the full story.

How she dropped out of college at 16 and qualified as a mortgage adviser before most of her peers had finished their A-levels. How Quilter Financial Adviser School made a one-year exception to let her in early. And how, after becoming the UK's youngest financial adviser, she spent two to three years being told she would never succeed because she was a woman and nearly walked away from the profession entirely.The turning point came at a women in business networking event she almost cancelled. Six women around a table. One conversation. And the moment she realised it was not just her who did not fit into the industry. There was a whole community of people being left out of it. She went home that night and set up The Finance Woman.This is an episode for anyone early in their financial planning career who feels like they do not belong. For anyone who has been told they are not what the industry is looking for. And for anyone who wants to understand what it actually takes to build a financial planning business from scratch.The episode's key takeaways:How Romany dropped out of college at 16 and qualified as the UK's youngest financial adviser at 18What it was like growing up watching her dad build a mortgage business from his bedroomWhy Quilter Financial Adviser School made a one-year exception to let her in earlyThe comments she received from other advisers about being a woman in financial planningWhy trying to change her accent, wardrobe and language to fit in made things worseThe networking event she nearly cancelled that changed the direction of everythingHow one conversation with six women led to The Finance Woman being bornHow she built a £10 million financial planning business before the age of 24If you are building a financial planning career and feeling like you do not fit in, this is the episode to listen to.If you would like to find out more about Romany's work or get in touch, visit www.thefinancewoman.co.ukFinancial Planner Life is sponsored by Redmill AdvanceWhether you're starting out, already qualified, or building a training academy, Redmill Advance delivers expert-led learning, exam support and CPD from Level 4 to Chartered.✅ Trusted by top UK firms

What if children's distress is not just a problem to solve, but a signal of their need to be seen? This article and podcast episode explore how children's expectations about availability and effectiveness of support from close others develop through repeated interactions with multiple caregivers.

Joining Mike is Flint Taylor, the Chicago attorney who co-founded the People's Law Office and who has spent fifty years putting the city's power structure on trial, from the killing of Fred Hampton to the CPD torture chambers run by Jon Burge. Flint is back on Hitting Left to talk about his new book, The Conviction Machine.

What does it really mean to become an expert in resuscitation and critical care? It is tempting to think that expertise comes from accumulating enough facts, passing enough exams or simply spending 10,000 hours at work. In this episode, Iain Beardsell is joined by emergency physician, intensivist and medical educator Sara Crager to explore why expertise is less about how much we know and more about how we think. Sara explains how experts develop high-quality mental models that allow them to organise information, recognise patterns and approach difficult clinical problems. Crucially, these mental models do not have to remain hidden inside the heads of experienced clinicians: they can be identified, explained and deliberately taught. The conversation moves from the limitations of mnemonics and assessment-driven education to the value of deliberate practice, feedback and safe failure. Sara describes how an expert might organise the differential diagnosis of cardiac arrest into respiratory, haemodynamic and metabolic problems, rather than relying solely on a memorised list of Hs and Ts. Iain and Sara then discuss Rapid Sequence, the gamified clinical-learning platform Sara created with emergency physician Ryan Ernst. Learners work through realistic cases in a simulated clinical environment, managing several patients while dealing with interruptions, competing priorities and the consequences of their decisions. After each block, Sara and Ryan deconstruct the cases, make their clinical reasoning explicit and introduce mental models that learners can immediately apply when they try again. It is a cycle of practice, failure, teaching and repetition—without putting a real patient at risk. They also explore why attention, storytelling and visual design matter in medical education; how “multitasking” may be better understood as rapid task switching; and what Sara has learned from turning an educational passion project into a working product. In this episode Why expertise is about cognitive strategies and mental models—not simply knowledge Why experts are made rather than born The limitations of the “10,000-hour rule” How deliberate practice differs from repetition When learners are ready to be taught expert ways of thinking Foundational knowledge versus clinically useful organisation Moving beyond mnemonics such as the Hs and Ts How experts can make their implicit reasoning explicit Why acquiring a new mental model can produce a sudden leap in performance The importance of inspiration—and giving learners an achievable pathway How Rapid Sequence creates a safe place to make mistakes Managing several patients, interruptions and cognitive load Teaching shock, respiratory failure and acid–base physiology Why engaging design is part of the educational method The role of games alongside podcasts, lectures and clinical experience Reframing multitasking as rapid task switching The “pause and bookmark” technique for managing interruptions The realities of building an independent medical-education project Why partnership, persistence and a genuine belief in the project matter Learning from podcasts?

Rest Tech innovator Shalece Daniels previously built and operated a seven-figure real estate investment and property management firm, coached multiple seven-figure businesses on scaling, then stepped fully into her zone of genius as an executive rest coach. Shalece created FLOW, an AI rest-tech assistant for organisations, and delivers corporate rest workshops that upgrade meeting norms, cut decision fatigue, and protect recovery time.Summary of PodcastKey Takeaways90-Second Reset: Emotions metabolise in 90 seconds. Shalece's method uses specific tools (e.g., Mind Fold, bubble-blowing) to reset the nervous system from "fight or flight" to "rest and digest," enabling clearer thinking.Data-Driven Proof: A smart ring tracks Key Relaxation Indicators (KRIs) like heart rate and HRV. This anonymised data proves the program's effectiveness to corporate clients, overcoming a key sales hurdle.Referral-Based Growth: The business grew from personal burnout and a Costa Rica sabbatical. Referrals from initial clients and a vocal advisory board were the primary drivers for landing larger corporate contracts.Respectful Disagreement: A discussion on DEI and immigration highlighted how personal experience shapes perspective, reinforcing the need for tools to manage emotional triggers and maintain respectful dialogue.The Problem: Nervous System OverwhelmHigh-pressure work environments keep leaders in a "fight or flight" (sympathetic) state, which impairs decision-making.The goal is to shift into the "rest and digest" (parasympathetic) state, creating the mental space for clear, strategic thinking.The Solution: 90-Second Reset TechniquesThe method is based on Dr. Jill Bolte-Taylor's research: emotions metabolise in 90 seconds.Key Tools & Rationale:Mind Fold: An eye mask that blocks light while eyes remain open. The brain's confusion triggers an automatic reset.Bubble Blowing: Exhaling longer than inhaling activates the vagus nerve, lowering heart rate and inducing calm.Acupressure Wristband: Stimulates the P6 nerve to reduce anxiety.Foot Roller: Activates nerve endings in the feet for discreet, bottom-up grounding.Personalised Approach: The method is tailored to the individual ("N=1"), requiring participants to find the 1–3 tools that work best for their nervous system.Proving Effectiveness with "Rest Tech"Key Relaxation Indicators (KRIs): A smart ring tracks vital signs (e.g., heart rate, HRV) to provide objective data.Corporate Dashboard: Anonymised data from all participants is aggregated into a dashboard.Why it matters: This data-driven proof overcomes the "how do I know it works?" question from corporate clients, enabling the program's sale and adoption.Business Growth & Client AcquisitionOrigin: The method was developed after Shalece experienced burnout and took a sabbatical in Costa Rica.Initial Growth: Spread organically through referrals from a personal network who noticed a positive change.Scaling: A vocal advisory board and speaking engagements helped attract larger corporate clients.Program Delivery: Includes a physical kit, video exercises via QR code, and a tiered service model.Broader Application: Managing Triggers in DialogueA discussion on DEI and immigration highlighted how personal experience shapes perspective.Key Insight: Acknowledging that everyone is "triggered" by different inputs underscores the value of having tools to manage emotional responses and maintain respectful dialogue.The Next 100 Days Podcast Co-HostsGraham ArrowsmithGraham founded Finely Fettled in 2014 to provide data from The UK High Net Worth Database to marketers targeting affluent and high-net-worth customers.

On this episode of Mind the Gap, Tom Sherrington and Emma Turner are joined by Shaun Allison and Andy Tharby from Durrington High School to revisit the enduring influence of their landmark book Making Every Lesson Count, 11 years on. Together they reflect on how the book's six principles - challenge, explanation, modelling, practice, feedback, and questioning - emerged from real classroom and whole-school practice, and why they continue to offer such a powerful, practical language for improving teaching. Shaun and Andy discuss how their thinking has evolved over time, how the principles still shape practice at Durrington, and what it takes to build a culture where getting better never stops. They also consider what ideas and strategies they would include and exclude if the book were written now, given the strides that have been made in the last decade. Listen to find out whether we can expect a Making Every Lesson Count, Volume II.Shaun Allison is the co-Headteacher of Durrington High School. He joined Durrington High School in 2010 as Deputy Headteacher and up until 2022, was also the Director of the Research School there. Throughout his career, he has worked in large, coastal strip comprehensive schools. Shaun's particular areas of interest are evidence informed approaches to curriculum, teaching and assessment and using strong evaluation, professional development and implementation to drive school improvement.Andy Tharby is an English teacher and blogger with over a decade of classroom experience at Durrington High School.

We're joined by Chris Lonergan, a tax consultancy director with deep construction and quantity surveying experience, to unpack how UK dental principals can be far more tax-efficient with property spend, legally, using capital allowances that HMRC expects to see claimed.We talk through why dental practice premises are often a huge slice of personal and business wealth, and why missed relief hits cash flow at exactly the moment you need it for financing, recruitment, equipment, and growth. Chris explains capital allowances in plain language, the difference between plant and machinery allowances and structures and buildings allowance, and the types of “integral features” that are frequently overlooked, from electrical systems and HVAC to fitted cabinetry, security, and access equipment.You'll also hear why timing matters: what to do before you complete a property purchase, when to bring in specialist support during a build or refurbishment, and how delayed claims can reduce how quickly you can use the relief. If you've spent serious money on a fit-out in the last few years, or you're planning one now, this conversation gives you a practical framework to ask better questions and protect your returns.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

The most common reason people hold back from teaching mindfulness isn't lack of talent, it's that quiet thought: “I'm not good enough to lead this.” We sit down with Buddhist meditation teacher and author Lodro Rinzler to get honest about imposter syndrome, self doubt, and the pressure to be “perfect” before you help anyone else.We talk about what responsible teaching actually looks like: doing real practice, learning the terrain, and finding your own authentic voice instead of copying someone else's script. Lodro shares a powerful reframing: doubt may keep showing up, but you can choose whether it gets to drive. That idea lands not only for meditation teachers, but for writers, parents, and anyone building something meaningful while feeling exposed.From there, we explore shame, guilt, and the Buddhist lens on Hiri and Ottappa, including how “positive shame” can become wise regret that helps you change without crushing your spirit. Finally, we step into a bigger question that many listeners wrestle with right now: how to relate to harm, polarisation, and the concept of evil without giving up on basic goodness or losing your backbone.If you care about meditation, compassion, and staying human in a divided world, this conversation will meet you where you are and still challenge you.

Mark Sherwood Edwards is the Sales Side Lawyer. This podcast is all about having a sales-centric approach to legal contracting.Summary of PodcastKey TakeawaysProblem: ~50% of deals die in contracting, often due to lawyers acting as a "Department for Sales Prevention" and triggering buyer anxiety.Solution: Treat legal risk as a price point. Frame buyer requests (e.g., for unlimited liability) as commercial choices that increase the price, shifting the negotiation from legal to business.Tactic: Reduce buyer anxiety by offering easy-out clauses (e.g., monthly after 12 months). This builds trust and forces the seller to focus on service quality to retain customers.Goal: Move all deals toward "no-touch" contracting (e.g., click-through T&Cs) to eliminate negotiation friction and speed up deal closure.The Problem: Contracting Kills DealsLawyers often act as a "Department for Sales Prevention," slowing deals and creating friction.The "Spoon" Analogy: Lawyers often make minor, risk-averse changes that alter the deal's structure, even if the core agreement is sound.Key Driver → Buyer Anxiety: The primary obstacle is a buyer's personal risk ("Fear of Messing Up"), not just corporate risk.Why: A long, complex contracting process increases the risk of the deal failing due to external factors (e.g., strategy changes, competitor bids).The Solution: A Sales-Centric Legal ApproachCore Principle: Treat legal risk as a price point.How: Frame buyer requests for increased risk (e.g., unlimited liability) as commercial choices that will increase the price.Why: This shifts the negotiation from a legal debate to a commercial one, where business stakeholders are more reasonable and budget-conscious.The "Sales Side Setup": Prepare for this by stating upfront in proposals that pricing is based on your standard T&Cs and that changes may affect the price.Easy-Out Clauses: Offer flexible termination terms (e.g., monthly after an initial 12-month period).Why: This reduces buyer anxiety and forces the seller to maintain high service quality to retain the customer.Caveat: This approach may not suit deals with high upfront costs (e.g., outsourcing), where a longer lock-in is needed to reach profitability.Practical Tactics for Small BusinessesContracting Spectrum: Classify deals into three types and aim to move all toward "no-touch."No-Touch: Click-through T&Cs (e.g., Google, HubSpot).Low-Touch: Minor negotiations.High-Touch: Significant negotiation.Simplify Contracts:Use plain English and clear headings.For simple deals, use a signed letter of agreement instead of a formal contract.Payment Terms:Goal: Get paid in advance to eliminate the need for legal recovery clauses.Response to Long Terms: Counter with a price increase (e.g., 5%) or remove scope to meet the budget.The Next 100 Days Podcast Co-HostsGraham ArrowsmithGraham founded Finely Fettled in 2014 to provide data from the UK High Net Worth Database to marketers targeting affluent and high-net-worth customers.

Eyes-open meditation can sound like the worst idea if you're used to practice as a private escape. Then Susan Piver walks us through why keeping the eyes open may be the most direct path to mindfulness in real life, because you don't have to “come back” when the sit is over. We talk about the simple mechanics of resting the gaze, why distraction and tired eyes are normal at first, and how the nervous system settles when we stop trying to force focus. From there, the conversation turns to what meditation is really for. We're not training to be impressive meditators. We're training to be more awake, more patient, and less ruled by triggers when life gets loud. Susan shares a teacher's perspective on why the benefits often don't appear during practice, how expanded heart shows up on its own, and why “attention is the most basic form of love” is more than a nice quote, it's a map for how mindfulness practice changes relationships. We also zoom out to the stress of the present moment on planet Earth, using Tibetan Buddhist “six realms” imagery to describe conflict, power grabs, and the exhausted feeling of fighting battles with the wrong tools. The takeaway is grounding and practical: strengthen the human realm by teaching people to work with projection, story, and reactivity, and keep your classes clean, inclusive, simple, and honest.
