How do you decide which trainings in your library still deserve a spot, and which ones are just taking up space?In this episode of Learning for Good, I walk through five strategic questions nonprofit leaders can use to decide when to retire a training program. Many nonprofits build a training toolbox one request at a time, until the toolbox is packed with tools nobody stops to evaluate. That toolbox turns into an endless menu instead of a strategy, and it gets harder to tell which trainings are still earning their place.Keeping a training isn't about whether people liked it or whether it's always been offered, it's about whether it's still moving the mission forward.▶️ Should You Retire Your Training?▶️ Key Points:00:00:00 When Should You Retire a Nonprofit Training Program?00:03:15 How the Nonprofit Training Toolbox Fills Up Over Time00:05:32 Five Questions to Decide Whether to Retire a Nonprofit Training Program00:08:19 Building a Curated Nonprofit Training ToolboxResources from this episode:Join the Nonprofit Learning and Development Collective: https://www.skillmastersmarket.com/nonprofit-learning-and-development-collectiveConnect with HeatherLinkedIn: Heather BurrightWebsite: skillmastersmarket.comBook an interest call with Heather here.⭐Was this episode helpful?

Are you confused with your relationship? Maybe you can't decide whether to stay married or divorce? Maybe you're unsure how to go about improving the connection and intimacy and affection with your wife?In this episode I talk about the core of our coaching with men around making the right choices or even knowing what the right choice is for you and your future. This changes everything. The more clear and committed you are to the future you are choosing to head towards, the more chance you have of creating that, even if it seems as though your partner isn't interested in coming with you.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/goodguys2greatmen-podcast--4650431/support.In our coaching, we help men get a powerful new mindset that empowers you to give, love and connect more deeply because you're finally doing that within yourself first. This mindset allows empathy, trust and connection to happen because you're confident in who you're being. We teach skills and knowledge that nobody ever teaches men when we're younger. Skills and knowledge that make you feel confident and in control even when chaos is going on around you. It's amazing what you can achieve when you make yourself a priority. Most men don't.   They are too busy taking care of everyone else.  Too busy minding the store and making the money.   They are focused on the "outside game" of winning life. But their "inside game" of confidence and clarity is suffering badly. You can only improve your inside game with other men. We would love to help you become more calm, more strong emotionally and more confident and happy in who you are as a man. Come and join us, either through 1-on-1 coaching with my colleague Dan Dore or me, or in our group coaching program with other amazing men who are travelling the same path as you right now in our Men's Live Coaching Roundtable. There's an amazing tribe of guys in this group with us, supporting and helping each other through this process of growth and self realization. https://goodguys2greatmen.com/goodguys2greatmen-live-coaching-roun

If approved by Kansas voters in the Aug. 4 election, the constitutional amendment would abolish the current merit-based nominating process for Supreme Court justices that has been in place since 1958. While supporters argue the change would rid the system of elitism, opponents say it will allow money to influence court decisions.

In this episode of the California Sports Lawyer Podcast, host Jeremy Evans analyzes how increasingly complex media-rights agreements can determine where games are played, how they are distributed, and whether they happen at all. The canceled Duke–Michigan basketball game demonstrates how competing contractual claims can prevent a valuable sports opportunity from moving forward. Jeremy discusses why Duke and the ACC believed they could place the game on Amazon Prime Video with ESPN's approval, while the Big Ten and Fox maintained that the rights belonged to them under an agreement governing neutral-site games between the conferences. The episode also explores media consolidation, the expanding role of sports agencies at the intersection of talent, investment, capital, and strategy, and the consequences that rights disputes create for schools, athletes, venues, sponsors, and fans. As sports, media, business, technology, and law continue converging, media rights increasingly represent both valuable commercial assets and instruments of control. Future agreements must protect those rights while preserving enough flexibility to create compelling matchups, generate revenue, develop new traditions, and ensure that the underlying games can still be played.

This week we are talking about 501(c)(4)s, or social welfare organizations. What are the advantages to starting one?  How are they different than 501(c)(3)s and other types of nonprofits? And what are the important considerations when determining if a 501(c)(4) would be a good vehicle to use to conduct the types of activities you are hoping to engage in to achieve your mission? If you are curious about 501(c)(4)s, what they can do, and how they operate... this podcast episode is for you. Attorneys for this Episode Natalie Ossenfort Susan Finkle Sourlis Quyen Tu Shownotes Scenario: ·      Existing 501(c)(3) has a mission focused on providing potable water to the residents of a community, who are currently unable to tap into a reliable water supply. ·      The city, county, and state have failed to step up, so the 501(c)(3)'s staff raise funds for bottled water that they deliver to the community. ·      What the organization's founders thought would be a temporary fix, has now been operational for several years, and the water situation is not improving. ·      The 501(c)(3)'s founders want to do more to address the needs of the community, and some are considering starting an affiliated 501(c)(4). General Rules & Characteristics for 501(c)(3)s: ·      501(c)(3) organizations have a very favorable tax status. ·      They are tax-exempt, and their donors can take advantage of a tax deduction for their contributions.   ·      501(c)(3) public charities are limited in the amount of lobbying (or legislative advocacy) they can engage in, and they are prohibited from engaging in partisan political activity. Advantages of 501(c)(4)s ·      501(c)(4)s are social welfare organizations. ·      They are tax-exempt organizations that operate for the common good and general welfare of the community. ·      Donations to 501(c)(4)s are not tax-deductible for donors, but... ·      501(c)(4)s can conduct an unlimited amount of lobbying (or legislative) activity, and they can do some partisan work to support or oppose candidates for public office, but that type of activity must remain a secondary activity of the organization. Scenario: ·      If the 501(c)(3) founders wanted to advocate more aggressively for legislative changes that could provide a long-term solution to their community's water access problem, they might consider forming a 501(c)(4). ·      How much political (or partisan) activity could the organization conduct? If a 501(c)(4) decides to engage in any partisan political activity, that must be a secondary purpose of the organization and not the primary purpose. Primary Purpose Activities ·      Issue advocacy and lobbying o   In our scenario, this could include advocacy in front of the local city council or state legislature for reliable access to water. o   It could also include ballot measure advocacy. ·      Nonpartisan voter outreach to get out the vote and mobilize the community ·      Conduct research and educate legislators on issues ·      Engage in litigation to defend the rights of their constituents, and more... Secondary Purpose Activities ·      Candidate endorsements ·      Voter outreach activities using partisan targeting ·      Comparing the organization's stance on issues to where the candidates stand on those issues ·      Encouraging people to vote for candidates from certain political parties or with certain issue positions, and more... ·      When engaging in this type of activity, a 501(c)(4) must make sure that any partisan work remains a secondary purpose, and it must be mindful of and comply with campaign finance and election laws at the federal, state, and local levels. Secondary purpose activity... how much is too much? ·      A 501(c)(4) must maintain a primary purpose that is nonpartisan. ·      Tax lawyers differ on what they think is the ideal primary / secondary purpose split. ·      In order to be cautious, a 501(c)(4) could consider keeping its secondary purpose activities to 40% or less. ·      The IRS has created a safe harbor for organizations applying for 501(c)(4) status: ·       60% or more of its total expenditures (including reasonably allocable overhead) and total time (measured by employee and volunteer hours) is devoted to social welfare activity; and ·       less than 40% of its total expenditures and total time is devoted to political campaign activity. Affiliated Organizations Some things to keep in mind if a 501(c)(3) wants to form an affiliated 501(c)(4): Start-up costs should not come from the (c)(3), but instead should be independently raised for the formation of the (c)(4). Once the 501(c)(4) is formed, it should implement a cost-sharing agreement to ensure that no 501(c)(3) resources are being used to impermissibly subsidize (c)(4) work. It should implement time tracking systems to ensure that staff and volunteers track their 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) work separately.   How Would an Existing 501(c)(3) Decide Whether to Form an Affiliated 501(c)(4)? ·      Examine whether your 501(c)(3) public charity is getting close to its lobbying limits, but still wants to do more legislative advocacy. ·      Examine whether there is a need for a more political, and policy focused voice to advocate on your issues and support your communities. ·      Examine whether you want to engage in activities that are prohibited for 501(c)(3)s, but permissible for 501(c)(4)s (support or opposition of candidates) ·      Examine whether you have sufficient financial resources to cover the start-up costs of a 501(c)(4) from sources other than your 501(c)(3), etc.   Resources ·      The Connection: Guide to Creating and Operating 501(c)(3)s, 501(c)(4)s, and Political Organizations ·      Comparison of 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) Permissible Activities (Factsheet) ·      Navigating the Gray: Tips for working in coalition when the law isn't clear (Factsheet) ·      Coalition Checklist (Guide)

Auckland councillors are discussing potential changes to the controversial Plan Change 120. The plan will dictate the scale of housing intensification across the city.

Join Cyber Daily's David Hollingworth and Securonix's senior vice president for Asia-Pacific and Japan, Ajay Biyani, to break down why the challenge for organisations isn't replacing analysts – it's giving them the tools they need. Security operations centres are under unprecedented pressure as cyber attacks become faster, more sophisticated and increasingly powered by AI. At the same time, security teams are expected to do more without additional staff or budget. Rather than replacing people, Biyani contends, AI is proving most valuable by filtering out false positives, correlating data across disconnected security tools, and allowing analysts to concentrate on genuine threats, threat hunting and incident response. As AI agents become more common across enterprises, security teams will also need visibility into machine identities and automated systems, creating an entirely new attack surface that demands modern security operations and AI-assisted defence. The message for business leaders is clear: modernise security operations now or risk falling behind attackers already using AI to their advantage. Investing in AI-powered security isn't about reducing headcount – it's about empowering analysts, improving resilience, and ensuring the organisation is prepared for the inevitable cyber incident before it happens.

The reason is almost never your daytime effort. It is what happens after your head hits the pillow. Every night your body asks one question: is it safe to burn fat? About 70 percent of your fat burning growth hormone is released while you sleep, but only if insulin is low and your deep sleep is protected. In this lesson, Ben Azadi walks through the three bedtime habits, in the exact order your body wants them, to make the next 30 nights work for your fat loss instead of against it. Key takeaways: Insulin can stay elevated three to five hours after eating, blocking your overnight growth hormone pulse In a crossover trial, a 10 p.m. dinner reduced overnight fat burning and raised cortisol versus the identical 6 p.m. meal A Mayo Clinic trial showed four hours of sleep for two weeks added 11% more visceral fat, while the scale barely moved A cold (65 to 68°F), pitch dark room and a consistent sleep and wake schedule protect deep sleep Relaxation is chemistry: myo-inositol, magnesium glycinate, potassium glycinate, glycine, taurine, GABA, and L-theanine support it The three night challenge: no late snacks, a dark cool room, and track sleep, cravings, waist, and morning energy Find All The Ben Azadi Show Sponsorship Deals ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals Learn more about your ad choices.

National Review Senior Editor Charles C.W. Cooke, who hosts the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, fills in for Jim on the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Charlie and Greg as they discuss Jim Acosta's absurd analysis of Trump's name being removed from the John F. Kennedy Center, Virgina's attack on our Second Amendment rights, the UK's new social media ban for children, and the elusive details of the U.S.-Iran peace deal. First, they cover the left's obsession over the removal of President Trump's name from the Kennedy Center. Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta compared it to the fall of the Berlin Wall and called it “a sign that humankind can stand up against tyranny.” Charlie and Greg laugh at Acosta's delusional take. Next, Charlie and Greg rip Virginia officials for arguing that its citizens do not possess an individual right to keep and bear arms, despite protections in both the U.S. Constitution and Virginia's constitution. The argument comes as part of the state's defense of sweeping new gun-control measures. Charlie also dismantles the claim that Second Amendment protections apply only to organized militia service.Then, they slam the UK's newest laws banning several social media sites for children under 16. The ban includes platforms like Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and X. However far-left site Bluesky is conspicuously exempt. Charlie and Greg agree kids should not be on social media, but government control is not the solution. Finally, Charlie and Greg express their dismay with the lack of details regarding the U.S.-Iran peace deal. Trump says the war is over and markets are rallying, but the specifics of the deal have still yet to be released.

Why do so many golf lessons fail? It's not always the coach. It's not always the player. It's usually the conversation that never happened between them.In today's Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Shaun Webb and Mike Granato break down both sides of the golf lesson equation. The player side (what to expect, what to ask, what to demand) and the coach side (the resort lesson vs. the player development lesson, why setting expectations matters, why measurement beats opinion). Plus the three reasons most lessons fail and the simple formula that fixes it.The framework. Good information + correct application + repetition = improvement. If you're not getting better, one of those three is off. That's it. There's no magic secret formula. There's no special drill that unlocks the swing. The work happens between lessons, and the feedback loop is what separates real improvement from "I think I'm doing it right."Shaun shares his own story — two years to build a swing flaw he was taught (too much shaft lean), over ten years to unlearn it. A 5 to 1 ratio. Plus the Grant Hill path-fix example that shows why a coach has to walk you through what's coming next, the social media posed-before-and-after problem, and why having a swing coach app on every swing has been a complete game changer.

How does an ASO specialist with 10+ years of experience think about AI visibility in 2026?In this episode of Intelligent Artifice, Simon Thillay from AppTweak shares what the data actually shows about how AI tools like ChatGPT are discovering and recommending apps today. ChatGPT owns the platform. Grammarly is outranking it inside its own answers. Simon knows exactly why.This conversation covers what is actually changing in app store optimization, how AI visibility works differently from traditional ASO, and why the gap between apps that show up in AI-generated answers and those that don't is already opening up.AppTweak's research found that the most cited domain in ChatGPT answers for app-related queries is the App Store itself. Simon's team tested the same intent across ten different phrasings and found Grammarly consistently outranking ChatGPT for business writing app recommendations inside ChatGPT. The difference was not product quality. It was how Grammarly positioned itself for specific user contexts across its app store presence.Simon also points to one specific part of the App Store listing that most ASO teams have never touched, and explains why it is now one of the strongest levers for AI visibility in 2026.Video Chapters:00:00 – Introduction & Podcast Technical Mishaps 00:46 – How AI is Changing App Store Visibility 01:42 – Pre-searching Apps via LLMs (ChatGPT Traffic) 02:14 – The Role of App Store Optimization (ASO) in AI Answers 02:40 – Optimizing Long Descriptions for AI Search 03:19 – Writing for Humans vs. Writing for AI (User Personas) 04:08 – Structuring Content & Entity-Based Writing for AI 05:07 – Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) & The Open Web Ecosystem 06:26 – How to Audit Your App's AI Visibility (Intent vs. Prompts) 07:11 – Case Study: Grammarly Outperforming ChatGPT on Niche Intents 07:54 – Measuring AEO Impact: Coverage, Rank, and Sentiment 09:02 – Where to Find Simon ThillayTopics covered:App Store optimization and AI visibility in 2026How ChatGPT and LLMs discover and recommend appsAEO strategy for mobile appsEntity-based writing for app store listingsMeasuring AI visibility across coverage, rank, and sentimentAppTweak research on AI-driven app discoveryLearn more: https://mobileuseracquisitionshow.com/episode/aso-for-ai-simon-thillay/- Episode pagehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-thillay-58b95997/- Connect with Simon on LinkedIn

Just got laid off in 2026? Whether you're trying to figure out what to do after a layoff, how to job search after being laid off, or how to land a better job without taking a pay cut, this episode breaks down exactly what to do in the first 48 hours after receiving the news. For most who experience a layoff, their first instinct is to fix it fast. Polish the resume. Post "open to work" on LinkedIn. Start applying Monday morning. That instinct is the exact move that turns a 3-month job search into a 9-month one, and the reason most laid-off professionals end up taking a pay cut instead of a pay raise. The first 48 hours after a layoff decide the next 9 months of your career. Most laid-off professionals make the same mistakes in those first two days, and those mistakes cost them months and thousands of dollars. A small percentage do the opposite, and they often end up earning more in their next role. In this episode, we unpack the 3 biggest mistakes laid-off professionals make and the 3 actions that actually move you forward. Whether you're navigating a tech layoff, corporate layoff, or any career change after being laid off, this is the layoff recovery guide for 2026. What you'll learn What to do in the first 48 hours after a layoff (and what NOT to do) The 3 layoff mistakes that add 6 months to your job search How to negotiate severance and avoid signing away leverage How to job search after a layoff without taking a pay cut How to turn a layoff into a pay raise and a career upgrade   Our book, Happen To Your Career: An Unconventional Approach To Career Change and Meaningful Work, is now available on audiobook!

About half a million Syrians living in Turkey have returned to Syria — just one in five. Although aid groups estimate many more will follow, it's a difficult decision, and many are wary of Syria's new leader and struggling economy. Also, a stretched polar vortex is bringing severe winter storm conditions to half the continental US, and is causing temperatures to plummet across even more of the northern hemisphere. And, Guinea-Bissau's minister of health announced Thursday that the country was halting a controversial Danish-led, US-funded trial of a hepatitis B vaccine. Plus, a groundbreaking Australian play has come to New York for a few weeks. It's called "The Visitors," and it tells an important piece of Australian history from an Aboriginal perspective.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Things in this world are not nearly as gray as many want you to believe. According to God's law, life is far more defined than culture admits. You are either aligning yourself with what is good or you are siding with what is evil, and there is no neutral ground. That choice determines far more than momentary outcomes. It shapes your decisions, your direction, and ultimately whether your life builds what matters or tears everything down. In this study from Proverbs 8:12–21, we examine the one thing every man must have if he is going to be a builder instead of a destroyer.

In this episode of the GrowDental podcast, Luke dives into the r/Dentistry subreddit to answer real questions from practice owners struggling with marketing and growth. What emerged from those conversations is a framework that challenges everything most dentists believe about their biggest constraint. Get your copy of the Practice Paradox and the Personality Assessment: https://ion.agency/practice-paradox-book A dentist buys a South Florida practice. Previous spend: $5,000 monthly on ads. New plan: hire a strategist, reorganize, cut costs. Result: phones go silent, patient flow crashes. The owner’s instinct? Panic. The real question: Was $5k the problem? Here’s what actually happened. Spend less, get less. That part is simple math. The complicated part lives downstream. What happens after someone calls or fills out a form? Because in most practices, the enemy isn’t your marketing budget. It’s operational leakage. Missed calls. Weak follow-up. Zero visibility into what your website produces. If that’s your reality, more ad spend won’t solve growth. It will scale your waste. This framework is for owners who want to grow the right way. Plug the leaks first. Scale what works second. The Trap — Treating Marketing Like the Problem When It’s Just the Amplifier Most budget arguments skip the only question that matters. Are you stewarding the opportunities you already pay for? Marketing is not magic. Marketing is volume. Turn it up and you get more attention, more inquiries, more exposure of whatever’s broken underneath. In the South Florida case, the most predictable outcome occurred. They cut spend and lead flow dropped. That doesn’t prove the original budget was right or efficient. It proves it was producing volume. But the real insight is this: ad spend is relative. Consider the context. Where exactly are you? Miami versus a suburban market are different games. How competitive is your local area? How big is the practice now, and how fast do you want to grow? A flat number like $5,000 monthly means nothing without those answers. In some markets it’s average. In others it’s conservative. In others it’s reckless. But even if your spend level fits your market, your biggest constraint may still be operational, not marketing. Free Growth Session The Silent ROI Killer — Missed Calls and Abandoned Calls Want one metric that exposes the truth fast? How many calls are you missing right now? Not what your team thinks. Not what feels right. The hard number. Here’s the reality most owners avoid. The average abandoned call rate sits between 20 percent and 40 percent of calls going unanswered. Pause on that. If you miss one out of four calls, you don’t have a lead generation problem. You have a conversion capture problem. And if a meaningful chunk of those missed calls are new patients, you’re bleeding revenue daily without knowing it. Why This Matters More Than Your Ad Budget The compounding effect looks like this. Your missed call rate is 25 percent today. You crank marketing spend up. You push your team beyond capacity and that missed call rate climbs to 40 percent or higher. So you spend more. You get more inquiries. You lose more opportunities because your systems can’t absorb the volume. This is how practices convince themselves marketing doesn’t work, when the truth is they never fixed the bucket. Where to Find the Truth (Not Opinions) Most practices already have the data. Owners just don’t look. You likely use a VoIP system. Those platforms show call stats, including abandoned call rate and missed calls. The next step isn’t just the percentage. It’s segmentation. What percentage of missed calls are new patient calls? That one metric tells you whether your next dollar goes to ads or operations. The Other Black Hole — “How Many New Patients Did Your Website Bring You?” One strategist asks a question almost nobody can answer. “In 2025, how many new patients did your website bring you?” Common response: silence. This isn’t a minor gap. It’s a fundamental business blind spot. If you can’t measure what the website produces, you can’t evaluate whether your site does its job, whether your online scheduling gets used, whether your forms get answered, or whether you’re losing patients quietly while telling yourself the website is decent. The Website Isn’t Just Branding Sure, a website informs people. But in the context of practice growth, it has a job. Turn interest into action. If you don’t know whether it’s doing that, you’re operating on vibes. The Practical Audit Most Practices Never Do If your lead flow feels low, take a hard look at where you’re bleeding. Start with two questions. What are the form submissions and appointment requests like? Where are those requests being routed, and who owns follow-up? Because “we don’t get website leads” is sometimes code for something else. Requests go into an inbox nobody monitors. Notifications go to the wrong person. Patients get a slow response and ghost. The follow-up experience feels cold and transactional. In other words, the website might be working. Your process might not. Free Growth Session Google vs. Meta Isn’t a Preference Debate. It’s an Intent and Workflow Debate. A lot of dentists talk about Google versus Facebook like it’s personal preference. It’s not. It’s about patient intent and what your practice can handle. Here’s the breakdown. Google is more bottom-of-funnel because you capture existing search intent. People actively looking. But it’s also more competitive, and demand is limited by how many people search in your area. Meta (Facebook and Instagram) is more top-of-funnel. You reach people who could become patients, but you often need workflows and automations to warm them up and convert them. Here’s the operational reality most practices miss. If your follow-up is weak, top-of-funnel leads die. If your phones aren’t answered consistently, bottom-of-funnel leads die too. The platform won’t save you from poor stewardship. This is why fixing leaks first is so powerful. It makes every channel work better. The “Plug the Leaks” Growth Framework — What to Fix Before You Spend More If your schedule isn’t where you want it, your instinct may be to throw money at marketing. Sometimes that’s right, but only after you validate the fundamentals. Here’s a practical sequence. Step One — Pull Your Phone Data Today Log into your VoIP system. Find your abandoned call rate and missed calls. Identify what percentage of missed calls are likely new patients. If you’re missing a big chunk of calls, that’s not a marketing problem. That’s an operations problem that marketing will only magnify. Step Two — Review the Follow-Up Experience (Not the Theory) A simple but revealing approach: listen to phone calls and evaluate customer service like a real consumer would. If you want to remove self-deception, do what one doctor did. Call your own practice pretending to be a patient to screen the phone experience. This isn’t about being sneaky. It’s about being honest. Owners often assume the experience is good because the team is nice. But nice doesn’t always mean confident, efficient, or conversion-minded. Step Three — Audit Your Website Conversion Path End-to-End Don’t argue about whether the site looks good. Ask how many appointment requests come in. Are submissions truly zero, or just disappearing? Who is responsible for responding, and how fast? If you discover leads are coming in but not getting handled well, the fix might be far cheaper than increasing ad spend. Step Four — Only After the Leaks Are Plugged, Decide Whether to Scale Spend At that point, scaling marketing becomes rational because you’re scaling a machine that can actually capture demand. A practical benchmark: marketing spend often falls around 5 percent to 12 percent of collections. Don’t treat that as a rule. Treat it as a reality check and tie your decision back to your market competitiveness, your growth goals, and your operational readiness to handle more volume. One more sharp point: if you truly want to grow aggressively, you may need to think in terms of the percentage of where you want to be, not just where you are. That can work, but only if you’ve already fixed the conversion bottlenecks. Free Growth Session When the Answer Really Is “Spend More” (And How to Do It Without Getting Burned) Sometimes, after you do the audits above, you’ll confirm something important. Call volume is genuinely low. Website requests are genuinely low. You’re not leaking opportunities. You simply don’t have enough opportunities. In that case, the advice is direct. You just need to spend more. But even then, don’t blindly hire anyone who sells ads. Use a vetting process that protects you from expensive mistakes. Find a reputable marketing company with case studies and testimonials from doctors you’d actually want to emulate. Ask to speak with three to five of those doctors. Do real research, then make an educated decision. That last part matters. Dentists often buy marketing like they buy equipment, based on features. But marketing is closer to hiring. You’re paying for execution quality, strategy alignment, and consistency. The Bottom Line — Marketing Isn’t Your Growth Strategy. Stewardship Is. If you remember one thing from this entire framework, make it this. Marketing doesn’t fix a leaky practice. Marketing exposes it. If your phones go unanswered, if your follow-up is inconsistent, if you don’t know what your website produces, then scaling marketing is like pouring water into a bucket with holes. You’ll feel busy, spend more, and still wonder why the finances don’t add up. But if you plug those holes, if you maximize stewardship, then marketing becomes what it’s supposed to be. A predictable lever you can pull to grow. The owner in the South Florida story didn’t discover that marketing is bad. They discovered something more useful: their spend was driving demand, and the moment they removed it, demand dropped. The correct response isn’t to argue about whether $5k is too much. The correct response is to build a system that can reliably convert whatever demand you create, then scale with confidence.

2. America's Imperial Dilemma, Elite Conflict, and "Fortress America" Michael Vlahos identifies America's central problem as its inability to decide whether it is a "fully formed and mature empire" or a "Roman Republic in its latter stages," concluding it is "something of both." While constitutionally a republic, the American Empire has operated for nearly a century with imperial bureaucracies and military outposts. He explains that mature empires can "shrug off" assassinations, even using them for succession, citing instances from the 1960s. However, in a deeply divided society with "deep fissures" and "two inimically opposed" elite movements, an assassination becomes a "highly charged act of ceremonial violence" that can trigger "disorder" or even "civil war." One elite faction seeks "progressive reform," while another, smaller but more connected to the people, aims for "reform through a return to traditional virtues," reminiscent of Rome's oligarchs. These two visions are "going head-to-head," each seeking to destroy the other and undo its work. Gaius introduces the concept of "Fortress America," a vision of the US as an empire "hunkering down," securing its borders, inviting out "alien elements," and contesting powers like China. Michael Vlahosconnects this to Rome's response to barbarian invasions but warns that Washington lacks awareness of this imperial reality and America's own weakness and the urgency of the situation. Gaius contrasts Americans' apparent unfamiliarity with "political assassination as policy" with the British imperialists' understanding that "running an empire was a dirty business," noting that the British "never fell into the trap of thinking that they were trusted or loved by those they ruled."
