"A Little Person in a Dog Body": Inside the Whimsical World of the Dandie Dinmont Terrier [caption id="attachment_16952" align="alignleft" width="300"] Sandy Wolfskill showing a Dandie to Anne Katona.[/caption] Pure Dog Talk host Laura Reeves sits down with Elfwish Kennels' Sandy Wolfskill to explore the art of preservation breeding, global pedigree collaboration and what it truly takes to safeguard the historic Dandie Dinmont Terrier for the next generation. This episode of the Dandie Dinmont Terrier Diaries is part of Pure Dog Talk's Clubhouse. The series features members of the Club Partnership Program who are working to preserve the knowledge of their legacy breeders. From Corgis to Dandies:Sandy shares how a ring-stewarding gig in Pennsylvania first introduced her to Dandie Dinmont Terriers, detailing how she fell in love with their "little person in a dog body" personality before acquiring her first Dandie bitch from Betty-Anne Stenmark in 2004.A Global Preservation Network:Sandy emphasizes the power of international breeding partnerships, highlighting her work with Emma Greenway in Australia and her decision to transfer the Elfwish Frozen Semen Bank to Harriet Buckley in England to empower the next generation of breeders.The Pillars of Breed Type:Drawing from author Richard Beauchamp, Sandy breaks down the five core pillars of breed type: character, silhouette, head and expression, a penciled double-coat, and free, smooth movement.Breeding Philosophy and Selection:From running "what-if" pedigrees on her computer to assessing wet puppies the second they are born, Sandy explains why line breeding beats constant outcrossing, and why breeders must be brutally honest about faults, especially when it comes to fronts.Defining Success in the Ring and Home:Sandy explains that preserving this historic Scottish farm dog is about finding a balance between maintaining physical breed standards, preserving correct, livable temperaments, and, above all, having fun.

As the offseason rolls on, Bob and Mike are joined by Hoosier Morning After host Chad Schwartzkopf for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with soccer and the World Cup before diving into the ever-present question surrounding Indiana basketball: what should fans realistically expect from Darren DeVries and this new era of IU hoops?The discussion explores the balance between optimism and caution, how football's success has changed the atmosphere around Bloomington, and which signs fans should be watching for as another highly anticipated season approaches.Meet Chad Schwartzkopf: The Hoosier Morning After host shares his IU roots, the story behind his daily podcast, and why staying connected to Bloomington still matters from North Carolina.From the Pitch to the Hardwood: A lively detour into the World Cup, soccer culture, and how the global game continues to grow among IU fans and families.Defining Success in Year Two: What should fans be looking for beyond wins and losses? The crew discusses the measurable signs that Indiana may finally be building something sustainable.Roster Construction Under the Microscope: How much better does this team fit Darren DeVries' vision, and which additions have quietly changed the outlook heading into the season?Summer Takeaways (Without Overreacting): The guys debate what can—and can't—be learned from offseason games, player development, and early glimpses of IU's newcomers.The Football Effect: Has Curt Cignetti's success changed expectations for Indiana basketball, or has it simply bought the program some breathing room?Patience vs. Pressure: The conversation closes with an examination of IU's unique fan base, the desire for continuity, and whether the path back to national relevance looks different in 2026 than it did a decade ago.

Tunnel Talk: The Jets Underground Training Camp BlueprintWhat a phenomenal session. Ray, Ralph, and I just sat down for a definitive one-hour deep dive into the biggest structural questions facing this franchise as we head into training camp. We didn't just scratch the surface—we dug into the x's and o's, the coaching psychology, and the absolute reality of this roster.Here is a breakdown of the core debates and storylines we tackled in this episode:The Great Debate: Great Coach vs. Elite QBWe kicked things off with a classic football philosophy question: if you had to build a franchise from scratch, do you prioritize a legendary head coach or a transcendent quarterback? The history of the league shows how closely intertwined they are, but the guys and I had some strong, conflicting takes on who actually elevates whom when the pressure mounts.Roster Impact: Additions & RookiesBeyond the headline names, we identified the two most critical veteran additions to this roster who will quietly dictate the team's floor this season. Furthermore, we planted our flags on which rookie is primed to make the highest immediate impact in year one. It's a name that might surprise some casual fans, but the tape doesn't lie.The Geno Smith & Draft DilemmaThen came the million-dollar question regarding the game's most important position. If Geno Smith absolutely lights it up this season and proves he can command this offense at an elite level, should the front office still look to draft a quarterback early next spring? Planning for the future while winning in the present is a razor-thin tightrope to walk.The Hot Seat: Aaron Glenn's FutureFinally, we didn't dodge the high stakes surrounding the coaching staff. The pressure is on, and the expectations in this town are completely unforgiving. We asked the hard question straight up: if the season goes sideways and the team only manages to pull out 5 to 7 wins, is there any realistic scenario where Aaron Glenn survives the fallout and returns next year?If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend or subscribe for more Jets analysis at JetsUnderground.com Get full access to Jets Underground at jetsunderground.substack.com/subscribe

When I interviewed Joan Lunden live on stage in Baltimore a few months ago, I never expected our backstage conversation would lead to this podcast episode.As we chatted before taking the stage, I shared a bit about my work as a sleep consultant, my online sleep consultant certification program, and of course this podcast. To my surprise, she asked if she could be a guest.Needless to say, I didn't hesitate to say yes.Joan has spent decades in the public eye, but what I was most interested in wasn't her career highlights. I wanted to hear what it was really like to build an ambitious career while raising six children, long before there was much of a roadmap for working mothers.In this conversation, we talk about:• Navigating the judgment that often comes with making unconventional career choices• Why women shouldn't feel like they have to choose between meaningful work and motherhood• How Joan has defined success at different stages of her life and career• Why leading with service ultimately creates the greatest impactWhile Joan's career may have looked very different from ours, I think you'll find that many of the questions she wrestled with are the same ones women are still asking today.Is it okay to love motherhood and still want something that's just yours?Can you build a meaningful career without sacrificing your family?How do you define success when you're trying to balance it all?I hope you enjoy my conversation with Joan Lunden.Links: Website: https://joanlunden.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealjoanlunden/If you'd like to learn more about becoming a Sleep Consultant, please join our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/becomeasleepconsultantCPSM website: https://thecpsm.com/Book a free discovery call to learn how you can become a Certified Sleep Consultant here: https://jaynehavens.as.me/CPSM-Inquiry

The hosts discuss Jerry installing iOS 27 beta on an iPhone 15 Pro Max and watch, reporting strong stability, snappy performance, and minor reported edge-case crashes, while noting Siri AI requires newer hardware due to RAM constraints and that others find the new Siri improved. Joe shares a fresh issue deploying an MDM configuration profile to disable Siri: users still received "unable to use Siri" prompts because "Listen for 'Hey Siri'" could remain enabled, requiring removing the profile, turning it off locally, and reapplying; Apple Intelligence also wasn't fully disabled. Sam describes improving client offboarding by building a monday.com form that feeds Zendesk tickets, and the group compares running lean teams, using subcontractors and Foundation as pay-as-you-go helpdesk support (including an optional branded phone line). They also cover business uncertainty, tax-law changes affecting S-corps, and handling time-consuming "I've been hacked" client calls.   00:00 Show Kickoff Banter 00:35 iOS 27 Beta First Impressions 01:42 Installing Live and Siri AI Limits 04:40 MDM Glitch Disabling Siri 07:52 Advising Clients on Apple AI 10:16 Offboarding Workflow in Monday 12:25 Solo Juggling Without the Team 15:49 Jerry Business and Tax Updates 19:05 Hacked Device Panic Call 20:51 Explaining Normal iOS Mac Features 22:46 Clean Bill of Health Limits 24:07 Lean Teams and Overhead 28:51 Using Outsourced Helpdesk 29:58 Onboarding Big Client While Away 34:56 Pricing and Custom Phone Line 37:57 How to End Free Calls 41:56 Defining Success and Boundaries 45:23 Wrap Up and Outro

What if the patient never noticed the merger at all? For Matt Staub, that's not a failure — it's the goal. In this episode, Your Health CEO Matt Staub sits down with Jamie to talk through the company's merger with TCPA and Providence Care — a move that brings together similar footprints in primary care, palliative, hospice, skilled nursing, and assisted living across South Carolina and Georgia. As a 23-year healthcare veteran going through his first merger, Matt is candid about the tedious due-diligence "earnest money" phase, the EMR transitions ahead, and why he refuses to let "what could go wrong" crowd out "what could go right." You'll hear: Why "mass moves mass" — and what scale actually buys patients in care management and data analytics How Your Health breaks 50,000 patients into groups, teams, and "hubs" so no one falls through the cracks The "change is hard" philosophy and the discipline of productive (not just effective) communication How the spirit of agape — godly love — still threads through a company that's evolved far past its original name What success looks like in six months: patient retention, mission and margin If you lead through change — or live through it — this one will reframe how you think about getting bigger without losing what made you matter.

Are you exhausted? Like, bone-tired, going-going-going exhausted... and still not seeing the results you've been praying for? Friend, what if that exhaustion isn't a sign to push harder? What if it's God tapping you on the shoulder, saying, "This isn't the way I designed it." The online business world told you to hustle harder, do more, stay up later, post more, and show up everywhere. And if it still isn't working? You just haven't worked hard enough yet. But that's not what God called you to. He called you to build a business His way. And His way looks completely different from what hustle culture has been selling you. In this episode, I'm breaking down the 3 lies hustle culture told you about your God-led business and the biblical truth that dismantles each one, what Jesus actually means when He says "my yoke is easy" and how it applies directly to how you build your business, the difference between working hard and striving, and what building a business God's way looks like practically so you can stop performing and start producing real fruit. If you've been grinding yourself into the ground trying to build something sustainable, this is the episode that'll finally give you permission to stop. And show you what to do instead. Be still and know that He is God. Let's build it His way. I pray this blesses you! Ready to Make Consistent Income From a Podcast?  Join my 5-Day Profitable Podcast Bootcamp!

“Happiness is not accounted for in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Neither is peace of mind, propensity for burnout, or the quality of your life.” – RJon Robins, author of Profit First for Lawyers Before you can build a roadmap for the future, you need to know where you are today. Evelyn Aucoin, Financial Literacy & Strategy Expert from How To Manage a Small Law Firm, joins us to discuss understanding your starting point. Whether your goal is greater profitability, more time with family, or long-term financial security, meaningful progress begins with an honest assessment of your current reality. Drawing from core financial literacy concepts found in Profit First for Lawyers, Evelyn explains why financial reports are not simply accounting documents. She introduces the seven key financial reports and explains how they help law firm owners understand where they are today so they can make better decisions about where they want to go. Defining Success on Your Own Terms One of the central themes of this episode is that success is personal. For some law firm owners, success may mean growing a multi-million-dollar firm. For others, it may mean working fewer hours, spending more time with family, or creating greater flexibility in their lives. Before measuring progress, law firm owners must first define what success looks like for them. Once that destination is clear, financial reports can help answer an important question: Are you currently on the path that will get you there? Key Takeaways Financial reports provide visibility into the health of your business Success should be defined by your goals, not someone else’s expectations Total Owner Benefit offers a more complete picture of financial success Financial literacy creates confidence and clarity in decision-making Knowing where you are today is the first step toward reaching your goals Financial literacy is not an end goal. It is a tool that helps law firm owners make better decisions. If you are ready to take action on the concepts discussed in this episode, start here: Action Steps Define what success looks like for you and your family. Review your current financial reports to understand where you are today. Identify the destination you are trying to reach. Determine which financial metrics will help you track progress toward your goals. Commit to building a regular habit of reviewing your numbers. This is not a one-time set-it-and-forget-it exercise. The destination you choose today may need to change as your business and personal goals evolve. That’s why it is important to keep your hands on the steering wheel. While this may seem challenging at first, regular monitoring keeps you in tune with the direction your business is headed, allowing you to adjust for road hazards and stay on course.

What happens when the treatments keep changing—but the symptoms never truly go away? In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with Ayurvedic doctor Dr. Rohan Nagar for a thought-provoking conversation about chronic illness, symptom management, and why so many people feel stuck in an endless cycle of searching for answers. After working with more than 150,000 patients around the world, Dr. Nagar has developed a very different perspective on health. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, he believes the real breakthrough happens when we begin asking deeper questions about what the body is trying to communicate. This conversation explores the growing disconnect between treating symptoms and understanding root causes, the role of lifestyle and stress in long-term health, and why curiosity may be one of the most powerful tools we have when it comes to healing. Whether you're navigating your own health challenges or simply looking for a broader perspective on wellness, this episode invites you to think differently about the questions we ask—and the answers we accept. About Dr. Rohan Nagar Dr. Rohan Nagar is an Ayurvedic doctor, educator, and international speaker who has worked with more than 150,000 patients worldwide. His work focuses on helping individuals better understand the connections between lifestyle, stress, environment, and long-term health. Through a blend of traditional Ayurvedic principles and modern perspectives, he encourages people to look beyond symptoms and explore the deeper factors influencing their well-being.

Biohub started with an ambitious goal of curing, preventing, and managing all disease by the end of the century. A decade later, thanks to the convergence of frontier AI and biological data, that goal may have been too conservative. In this episode, Elad Gil and Sarah Guo sit down with Biohub co-founders Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, alongside Biohub Head of Science Alex Rives. Together, they discuss Biohub's $500 million virtual biology initiative, which integrates frontier AI with wet-lab work to build predictive world models of cells, proteins, and systems. They also talk about their newly announced open-source engine for digital protein and antibody design, ESMFold2; why Biohub is a nonprofit rather than a venture-backed startup; and how hierarchical simulations will soon allow doctors to treat patients at an individual, mechanistic level.   Sign up for new podcasts every week.

Gil West, CEO of Hertz, joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss the launch of Oro Mobility and how a century of fleet operations is helping robotaxis to scale.A robotaxi parked is a depreciating asset, and the attention goes to the driving while the margin hides everywhere else. Cleaning, charging, maintaining, and positioning the vehicle is the part nobody wants and the part that decides the economics.Oro Mobility was built to own that work. It is an asset-heavy operating company sitting on Hertz infrastructure, 2,700 chargers, more than 11,000 service locations, and a footprint across roughly 160 countries. Oro owns and operates fleets, human-driven and autonomous, and supplies them turnkey to B2B partners including Uber and Nuro in a manner that Gil frames as the connective tissue between the demand aggregators, the technology companies, and the OEMs, the supply layer for the future of mobility.That positioning reshapes how the autonomy economy scales. A robotaxi company no longer has to build depots, charging, and a service network from scratch, something Mr. West says could take decades and billions of dollars to replicate.Over time, Hertz plans to hold robotaxis on its balance sheet as both owner and operator, sweat each asset through the peaks, service it through the valleys, and run the same footprint across rideshare, delivery, and autonomy.Episode Chapters00:00 Hertz's Turnaround1:18 Oro Mobility4:43 Hertz's Infrastructure Advantage13:29 Robotaxi Technicians15:36 Robotaxis and Rideshare are Complementary19:27 Infrastructure Permitting22:26 Peaks and Valleys of Assets Ownership25:47 Inspiration for Oro Mobility28:28 Hertz as a Platform Business30:28 Managing the Turnaround34:21 Defining Success for Oro Mobility35:22 Hertz Over the Next Century37:03 AUTNMY AI--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, and proprietary applied intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.

SummaryIn this Coaches Roundtable episode, Chase and Chris discuss how to stay on track with your health goals during the busy summer months. They explain why maintenance can sometimes be a better goal than fat loss when vacations, cookouts, and family events start filling your schedule.The coaches also answer questions about when it's time to lower calories versus when you're simply being impatient with results. They talk about using data instead of emotions when making nutrition changes and why consistency matters more than making drastic cuts.They dive into a listener question about gluconeogenesis and protein intake while following a ketogenic diet for medical purposes, explaining how the body creates glucose when needed and why protein needs can vary from person to person.Another important discussion focuses on the idea of a "good enough" day. Chase and Chris explain why trying to be perfect with calories, protein, workouts, water, sleep, and steps can leave you feeling like a failure, even when you're making great progress.Finally, they tackle food noise and constantly thinking about food. They share practical strategies for creating more structure, reducing decision fatigue, and building a life that doesn't revolve around food.Chapters(00:00) Summer Is Here: Why Your Goals May Need to Change(01:30) Should You Shift From Fat Loss to Maintenance?(05:07) How to Know When It's Time to Lower Calories(09:36) Gluconeogenesis, Protein Intake, and Ketogenic Diets(14:55) What Does a "Good Enough" Day Really Look Like?(21:17) Tired of Thinking About Food All the Time?(27:31) Final Takeaways and Closing ThoughtsSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective

Edgar Award–winning novelist Chris Pavone on creating tension that never lets up, editing a book to make it bigger rather than just better, and turning a single apartment building into a portrait of a whole city. We discuss Why every book has to be one clear thing before it can be anything else. How two decades of editing other people's books prepares you to write your own. The offhand note from a legendary editor that quietly transformed a debut, and why the vaguest feedback can be the most useful. What it means to edit a book to make it bigger, not just to make it less bad. Why tension, not speed, is what truly keeps a reader turning pages. A counterintuitive case for telling readers what's coming on page one, then making them wait for it. How to keep generating questions and withholding answers without ever feeling coy. The one-page document worth months of tinkering before a single chapter gets written. What turns a story set in a city into a genuine portrait of that city. When to separate your hopes from your expectations, and what success can actually look like for a working novelist.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast: Second Wind, we wrap up our May Run Your Race series by asking the question that ties everything together: how do we define success for ourselves? After a month of talking about runfluencers, comparison traps, goals that actually fit us, and what happens when the plan falls apart, this finale brings it all home with one simple truth: success is not one-size-fits-all. For some runners, success is a PR, a new distance, or an age group placement, but for others it might be finishing healthy, getting back to a start line after life knocked them down, or still loving running years from now. We talk about why letting running culture, social media, watches, or even our running friends define success for us can add pressure we were never meant to carry. This episode looks at success through different seasons of life, whether we are coming back from injury, managing work stress, navigating parenting chaos, training for a marathon, or simply trying to keep running fun. We also push back against the idea that walking means failure, slower paces do not matter, rest is weakness, or a race only counts if it looks impressive online. Instead, we focus on longevity, joy, and building a running life that keeps giving us more start lines. Before the world starts grading our run, we need to define the win for ourselves. Because the clock can tell us when we finished, but it can never tell us what the finish meant.

SummaryClayton Cuteri joins Bruce Colero on the Be Great podcast for a wide-open, nearly two-hour conversation about the knowledge the elite have always guarded and why good people staying broke and powerless is no accident. It opens with how the Rothschilds quietly funded both sides of the Napoleonic Wars, walked away owning the bond market, and went on to shape the Federal Reserve and the IMF. From there, it moves into the two real levers of change on this planet: money and political power.The second half goes deep on the spiritual layer. The Bhagavad Gita and the divine versus demonic path. The Gospel of Thomas, found in 1945, is older than the Bible. How the text was changed over 1,600 years, and why Clayton believes a spiritual awakening is already underway. Clayton also shares his own arc from a software engineer, $10,000 in debt, to a millionaire in 22 months.Video of The PodcastWatch HereCampaign Websitehttps://writeincuteri.comClayton's NewsletterJoin HereClayton's BookPurchase HereClayton's Social Media LinkTree | Instagram | X (Twitter) | YouTube | FaceBook | RumbleTimecodes00:00 - Intro: How Rothschilds Funded Both Sides 01:15 - Defining Success and Your Why 05:09 - The Elites and Indigo Education 09:33 - Why Fear Comes From Not Knowing 16:49 - Knowledge Is Power: Money, Politics 22:17 - $10K Debt to Millionaire 33:58 - The Candle and the Blue Rug 42:10 - A Spiritual War, Not Political 01:05:02 - Books Are Speed Limit Signs01:22:34 - Who Really Wrote Your History01:36:20 - Is a Spiritual Awakening Coming?Intro/Outro Music Producer: Don Kin Instagram | Spotify Super grateful for this guy ^Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/traveling-to-consciousness-with-clayton-cuteri--6765271/support.Listen to the Podcast AD-FREE HERE for $4.95/monSign Up for my Newsletter HEREALL Indigo Education Podcasts HEREMy Book: The Secret Teachings of Jesus HEREOfficial Traveling to Consciousness Website HERE

Together, they explore how personal and professional goals evolve over time, the importance of not comparing your journey to others you see on social media, and the power of writing down your mission and objectives to stay focused during times of transition. Whether you're pivoting careers, redefining personal achievement, or just trying to find your next big goal, this conversation is packed with relatable stories, practical advice, and inspiration for anyone navigating change. Tune in as they share how to set yourself up for success and why having a clear mission statement can be your secret weapon.

In this episode of the Growth Now Movement, I sit down with entrepreneur, speaker, and digital marketing agency owner Mark Lebrun for a powerful conversation about transformation, faith, purpose, and building a life centered around impact. Mark and I first connected at a speaking event in Orlando, and after hearing his story, I knew I had to bring him onto the podcast. His journey is one of the most honest and inspiring stories I've heard in a long time. Growing up surrounded by gangs, drugs, and destructive environments, Mark shares how his life completely shifted after an encounter with Jesus and the influence of a friend named Patrick, who challenged him to change his environment, his habits, and the people he surrounded himself with. We dive deep into the importance of intentional relationships, the reality that success changes social dynamics, and how growth often requires letting go of environments and people that no longer align with who you're becoming. Mark opens up about navigating the end of a 16-year relationship and how that season forced him to reevaluate his life, his purpose, and the direction he truly wanted to go. We also talk about how the COVID-19 pandemic unexpectedly launched his digital marketing career. After growing to over 100,000 followers on TikTok in just four months, Mark realized there was massive opportunity in content creation, brand building, and helping businesses leverage social media effectively. He shares how he transitioned from giving away free advice online to building a successful paid consulting and agency business focused on helping others grow their influence and impact. One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is Mark's perspective on content creation. Instead of creating content for ego or validation, he explains why the best creators focus on serving the audience first and creating content that genuinely solves problems and transforms lives. This episode is about more than marketing or entrepreneurship. It's about identity, faith, healing, relationships, purpose, discipline, and learning how to build a life that actually matters. Mark also shares his long-term vision of creating a movement that provides resources, opportunities, and a non-traditional environment for inner-city communities to experience Christ across industries including business, media, entrepreneurship, and creativity. If you've ever felt stuck in your environment, struggled with fear around showing up online, or wondered whether real transformation is possible, this conversation will challenge and inspire you. In This Episode, You Will Learn: How Mark Lebrun transformed his life from gangs and drugs to purpose Why changing your environment changes your future The importance of intentional relationships and mentorship How faith helped Mark discover his calling What happens to relationships when success enters your life How Mark gained 100,000 TikTok followers in four months Why audience-focused content always performs better How to overcome fear of being on camera The difference between influence and impact Mark's definition of success and daily habits for growth Timestamps 00:00 Who Mark Lebrun Is Today 01:43 From Streets, Gangs, and Drugs to Faith 04:16 Mentorship and Choosing the Right Circle 06:15 Why Intentional Relationships Matter 09:28 How Success Changes People Around You 13:19 The COVID TikTok Breakthrough 18:50 Creating Content That Actually Helps People 22:46 Building a Bigger Mission and Movement 26:12 How to Push Past Camera Fear 29:56 Defining Success and Daily Habits 37:20 Family, Growth, and Final Thoughts

Dr. Tommy Dooley bought a low-reimbursement practice in 2017 doing $1.3M with $600 crowns. Eight years later, he's at $6.1M across two locations with three partners, 35 team members, and 47% overhead. He followed the Bulletproof playbook to the letter: dropped from 10 insurance networks to three, expanded from 7 to 12 ops, brought in partners, and hit 20% year-over-year growth for five straight years. But then he hit a problem growth could not solve: he's redlining. Not clinically. Not financially. Psychologically. Tommy thought the next level of leadership meant knowing every team member personally, remembering every birthday, and becoming the emotional center of a 35-person operation. Craig and Peter challenged that. In this real-time coaching conversation, they unpack the leadership identity crisis that hits practice owners when the business scales past what one person can hold. They cover why your definition of "good leadership" might be wrong, why the skill set that built your practice can eventually break it, and why the best leaders stop pushing their team toward a vision and start building a team that is pulled by one. If you're growing fast, feeling stretched thin, and wondering whether you're doing leadership wrong, this episode is for you. CASE STUDY: Growing dental entrepreneur focused on leadership development and scaling beyond operator dependency. Transitioning from solo producer to business leader and team builder Learning how to scale leadership while maintaining practice culture Navigating the challenges of delegation and accountability Balancing practice growth with personal fulfillment and freedom Building systems that empower teams instead of creating dependency Redefining success beyond production and revenue numbers Understanding the difference between management, inspiration, and leadership Developing long-term vision for growth, team alignment, and sustainability Learning how to create optionality inside a growing business Leadership growth became the key bottleneck and breakthrough for scaling DESCRIPTION The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode: 436 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak GUEST: Dr. Tommy Dooley MyStory is a new Bulletproof series where real dentists share their real story: what's working, what's not, and the questions they can't get answered anywhere else. Each episode is a one-hour Master Class. Peter & Craig give practical advice, just like they do inside our Mastermind Program and at the Bulletproof Summit. The point is simple: you'll hear your own challenges in someone else's story, and leave with clear steps you can use right away to shift your mindset, strengthen your practice, and avoid the mistakes that make growth harder than it needs to be.

Dr. Craig Spodak has coached thousands of dentists and seen the same patterns show up again and again. Dentists are trained to be precise, perfectionistic, and responsible for everything. But the same traits that make them great clinicians can quietly trap them as leaders, business owners, and human beings. In this episode, Craig and Ian unpack the psychology of dentists: why so many tie their identity to their clinical work, why they struggle to delegate, why they feel isolated, and why the dream of ownership can become a golden cage. Craig breaks down the emotional weight dentists carry, from perfectionism and people-pleasing to financial fear, burnout, and the pressure to always have the answer. This conversation goes deep on what most dentists never say out loud. The gap between expectation and reality. The cost of building a practice that depends entirely on you. The danger of chasing goals you never actually questioned. And the freedom that comes from finally asking, "What do I actually want to feel and experience from this career? DESCRIPTION The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode: 435 HOSTS: Dr. Craig Spodak and Ian de Jongh In this episode, Craig Spodak and Ian de Jongh dive into the psychology behind dentistry and the mental patterns that quietly shape the lives and careers of dentists. If you've ever struggled with stress, frustration, overwhelm, or the feeling that success still doesn't feel fulfilling, this episode offers a raw and honest look at the psychological side of dentistry and the mindset shifts required to build both a healthier business and a healthier life. TAKEAWAYS Dentists often tie their identity and self-worth to clinical performance Perfectionism can become a major obstacle in leadership and business growth Many dentists feel isolated despite being surrounded by patients and teams People-pleasing can lead to weak leadership and resentment Financial success without financial education often creates stress and fear The transition from clinician to business owner is psychologically difficult Clarity around your goals and values is essential for fulfillment Community and mentorship help break isolation and create growth Leadership requires letting go of excessive control Building a business that depends entirely on you can become a "golden cage" CHAPTERS 00:00 Opening Banter and Podcast Updates 03:18 Craig's Tesla Cybertruck Review 06:45 Reflections on the Bulletproof Masters Retreat 09:02 Mental Health in Dentistry and Feeling Alone 11:24 The Identity Problem in Dentistry 16:48 Perfectionism and the Need for Control 23:11 The Gap Between Expectations and Reality 29:34 Isolation and Pressure in Dental Leadership 35:02 The People-Pleasing Trap 41:20 Financial Fear and Risk Aversion 48:17 The Golden Cage Effect 54:06 The Identity Shift from Clinician to Business Owner 01:01:12 Leadership, Clarity, and Defining Success 01:07:48 Final Thoughts and Encouragement REFERENCES Bulletproof Summit Bulletproof Mastermind

Episode 4001: Nick Maggiulli explores how status quietly shapes our decisions, revealing that every environment rewards a different “game” whether it's money, fame, or skill. He shows how chasing a single form of status can come with hidden costs, and why diversifying your sources of status can lead to a more balanced, resilient life. You'll come away questioning what you're optimizing for and whether it's truly worth it. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://ofdollarsanddata.com/choose-your-status-game-wisely/ Quotes to ponder: "There is no rule that states that you have to judge yourself by a singular dimension, even if society suggests otherwise." "The way out is building a solid foundation of status in multiple things. It's about becoming diversified in your life, not just your portfolio." "Status is relative to the context in which it is being evaluated."

When I read on GM Eugene Perelshteyn's blog that his amateur friend had signed up to compete against players like Hikaru Nakamura and Hans Niemann in the Naroditsky Memorial, I knew I had to hear this story. That friend is NM Mike Mahoney. Mike is a pharmacist by day and a devoted online blitz player by night. For Mike, chess is usually a way to unwind, not something he takes too seriously. But he couldn't pass up the chance to test himself in one of the strongest blitz tournaments the U.S. has ever seen.  Eugene will be mentoring Mike and traveling with him to Charlotte, and they both joined me to discuss: Why Mike decided to jump into such a stacked field How Eugene is preparing him for the challenge How Mike defines “success” in a tournament like this We also talk about Mike's unconventional path to becoming a National Master, starting relatively late, as well as some great stories from the Boston blitz scene. I'm excited to follow how this unfolds, and Eugene and Mike will be back after the tournament for a trip report. In the meantime, you can follow Mike's journey on Eugene's blog.  Be sure to check out the Perpetual Chess YouTube channel where Eugene goes over one of Mike's model games against the Caro-Kann.
