Hey there Voices of the Bench community, this is Trish Jones with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS Emax Zirconia offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help save you valuable production time while maintaining consistent results. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out to your local Ivoclar rep today and discover how IPS Emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one.Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, The Invisible Profession. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, The Invisible Profession. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. But this conversation goes far beyond Matt's career. His book, The Invisible Profession, explores how the dental laboratory industry arrived at a place where technicians and laboratories are often undervalued, pushed into price competition, and expected to simply keep their heads down and produce. Matt shares his thoughts on the "million little things" that shaped the industry, the danger of becoming a "busy fool," and why laboratories need to stop competing solely on price and start becoming known for the value, expertise, and partnership they bring to the dental team. Elvis, Barb, and Matt also talk about the changing landscape of digital dentistry, AI, 3D printing, speed, service, and why the labs that embrace change and remain agile will be the ones positioned for the future. It's an honest, thought-provoking, and ultimately optimistic conversation about where the dental laboratory profession has been, where it is today, and where it can go next.Special Guest: Matt Everatt.

Guest: Dr. Mike Farrar, Booz Allen HamiltonWeather forecasting has come a long way—from hand-drawn maps and limited observations to a world driven by supercomputers, satellites, and real-time data. But as technology continues to evolve, so does the challenge of making forecasts faster, smarter, and more useful for the people who rely on them every day. Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by Dr. Mike Farrar, whose career has spanned research, operations, and leadership across the meteorological community. His company has been tasked to help modernize the National Weather Service, and with that he's helping shape what the future of forecasting could look like for both meteorologists and the public alike. We'll talk about the biggest challenges facing weather operations today, how emerging technologies like AI and cloud computing are changing the forecasting landscape, and why communication and public trust remain just as important as the science itself.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Career Background of Dr. Mike Farrar01:30 The Evolution of Weather Forecasting Technologies04:18 Transformational Advances in Meteorology09:15 The Private Sector and Meteorology's Growth12:16 Break 112:19 The Impact of AI and Cloud Computing19:28 Modernizing the National Weather Service22:55 The Role of Human Forecasters in the Age of AI26:51 Break 228:01 The North Star of Meteorology: Science and Service30:18 Skills for Future Meteorologists33:50 Embracing Change in the Meteorological Field34:29 Closing Remarks and Resources ResourcesBooz Allen Hamilton - https://www.boozallen.comNOAA's National Centers for Environmental Prediction - https://www.weather.gov/ncep/American Meteorological Society - https://www.ametsoc.orgAWIPS (Advanced Weather Information Processing System) - https://vlab.noaa.gov/web/nws-heritage/-/introducing-awipsNCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research) - https://ncar.ucar.eduGuest linksLinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/mikefarrar-wxSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Change can feel like the ground shifting beneath your feet, even when it's a promotion, a new opportunity, or a long-awaited next step. New leadership responsibilities, organizational change, caregiving, entrepreneurship, or a job market transformed by AI can all trigger the same instinct: work harder, push through, and put yourself last.In this episode, we sit down with Ashwini Balasubramanian, Vice President of Research & Development for 3M's Transportation and Energy business and author of the forthcoming book Map Your Ascent: Embracing Change as Your Leadership Superpower. Moderated by VEST member Srijita Ghosh, the conversation explores how to transform uncertainty from something to fear into one of your greatest leadership advantages.Ashwini explains why change feels so difficult, even for high performers, unpacking the fear of losing control, competence, and confidence. She shares practical frameworks for shifting your mindset from focusing on what you might lose to asking who you can become. Together, they explore her Map Your Ascent framework, including how your beliefs shape your leadership, why your perspective evolves through change, and how to cultivate a presence that inspires confidence even in uncertain moments.The conversation also tackles one of the biggest challenges facing ambitious women today: distinguishing between perseverance and self-sacrifice. Ashwini shares the weekly reflection practice she uses to stay grounded, the "curiosity versus coasting" test that signals when it's time for a change, and practical strategies for navigating career transitions with intention. She also offers actionable advice on building sponsors, identifying transferable skills, creating an opportunity filter for major career decisions, and advocating for yourself in an increasingly uncertain world.Whether you're navigating a career transition, leading through organizational change, considering your next big move, or simply trying to thrive through a demanding season without defaulting to depletion, this episode will leave you with practical tools and a renewed perspective on how change can become your greatest catalyst for growth.

Ariel has been building in AI and machine learning since 2014, previously taught part-time at UCLA, and now helps mid-market companies drive capital efficiency and value creation through practical, measurable AI implementation.Together, Avetis and Ariel unpack why this AI wave feels fundamentally different from previous technology shifts like the internet, cloud, mobile, ERP, and CRM. Ariel explains why the speed of change is compressing decades of transformation into years, why curiosity may matter more than age when adopting AI, and why the future of work may be better understood as the future of earning, ownership, purpose, and belonging.The conversation moves from tactical to philosophical, covering AI adoption inside private equity-backed and mid-market companies, the rising importance of CFOs and COOs, the difference between efficiency AI and productivity AI, and why organizations should avoid simply automating broken processes. Ariel also shares his perspective on career reinvention, player-coach leadership, AI avatars in meetings, the risks of outsourcing human thinking, and why human relationships still matter in an increasingly automated world.TakeawaysAI is not just another technology cycle; Ariel frames it as a new wave moving much faster than cloud, mobile, ERP, or CRM adoption.Career resilience in the AI era depends less on age and more on curiosity, tinkering, adaptability, and a willingness to learn by doing.Ariel argues that the “future of work” may become the future of earning, ownership, purpose, and belonging as traditional jobs evolve.Companies should begin AI projects with clear KPIs, measurable ROI, and an understanding of the business outcome they are trying to improve.Efficiency AI focuses on automating tedious back-office workflows, while productivity AI helps people create, decide, and execute faster.Spreadsheets are often a signal of operational gaps between systems, processes, or expectations—and can be a strong place to find automation opportunities.Automating a broken process only makes the dysfunction faster; leaders should simplify, question assumptions, and redesign workflows around outputs.Middle management and traditional project management are being reshaped into “player-coach” roles where leaders must orchestrate work and add real value.AI is powerful, but high-stakes thinking, judgment, relationship-building, and nuanced communication still require human ownership.Chapters00:00 The Role of the COO in the AI Era02:09 The Impact of AI on Careers and Industries05:58 AI as a Collaborative Partner08:11 The Future of Work and Purpose13:53 Embracing Change and Learning17:14 The Importance of Curiosity in the Workplace23:02 Best Practices for AI Implementation30:10 Navigating Career Changes in the AI Landscape37:09 The Dangers of Multitasking in Career Development40:03 The Impact of AI on Work Efficiency42:27 Evolving Roles in Management and Project Oversight49:21 The Future of Meetings and AI Integration56:09 Identifying What's Broken in Organizational Processes01:02:34 The Importance of Relationships in Business01:10:21 Navigating the Future with AI and Human CollaborationAriel Jalali's Social Media Link:https://www.linkedin.com/in/arieljalali/https://x.com/arieljalaliResources and Links:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.hireclout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.podcast.hireclout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright⁠

Embracing Change in Higher Education: Insights from Nate Tucker In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, educational institutions often find themselves at a crossroads, faced with the challenge of adapting to new paradigms. In this blog post, we'll explore the insights shared by Nate Tucker, Vice President for Information Technology at Lee University, during his conversation with Dr. Rod Berger. This discussion delves into the intersection of technology and education, highlighting the importance of human connection, effective communication, and the need for adaptability in the face of change. The Impact of In-Person Experiences Nate Tucker reflects on his experience attending a talk by Bill Nye, the Science Guy, emphasizing how live interactions enhance the effectiveness of communication. Watching Nye engage with the audience reinforced the idea that communication transcends words; it encompasses body language, facial expressions, and the energy in the room. This experience serves as a reminder that the essence of communication is not just in the delivery but in how it resonates with the audience.   Understanding this dynamic is crucial in the educational sector, where fostering a positive learning environment relies on effective communication. Educators and technologists alike must focus on creating experiences that are engaging and relatable, making tough subjects more accessible. Navigating the Overload of Information In an era characterized by an overwhelming influx of information, Tucker addresses the notion of a modern obsession with content. With technology advancing at an unprecedented pace, individuals often find themselves inundated with choices and opportunities, leading to anxiety and confusion. Tucker suggests that leaders in education must guide their communities through this noise. By building relationships and demonstrating the tangible benefits of technological changes, educators can alleviate fears and encourage acceptance of new tools and systems. This is particularly vital in a landscape where decisions about technology must be made swiftly, often without the luxury of extensive deliberation.   Building Relationships to Foster Change One of the key themes in Tucker's approach is the importance of relationship-building. He notes that fostering connections within the institution can significantly ease the transition to new technologies. By prioritizing relationships, educators can create an environment where change is not only accepted but embraced. Tucker emphasizes the role of empathy in leadership, suggesting that understanding the concerns of faculty and staff is essential. When people see how a change will benefit them, they are more likely to support it. This perspective aligns with the idea that effective leadership is rooted in the ability to connect with others and convey a shared vision. The Puzzle of Technology in Education Tucker likens the process of integrating technology in education to solving a never-ending puzzle. Each piece represents a different aspect of technology, and as new tools emerge, the picture continuously evolves. Education leaders must remain agile, adapting their strategies to fit the changing landscape. The shift from traditional methods to agile approaches in project management reflects this need for adaptability. By embracing iterative processes, educators can respond to feedback and make necessary adjustments more rapidly, ultimately enhancing the educational experience. The Importance of Community Support Tucker highlights the value of community in navigating the challenges faced by educational institutions. He mentions various organizations and forums that provide a safe space for educators to share ideas, seek advice, and learn from one another's experiences. This collaborative approach fosters a culture of support and encourages innovation. In a world where competition is fierce, the higher education community can thrive by sharing best practices and insights. When institutions work together, they can collectively uplift the standards of education and ensure that all students receive the best possible experience. Key Takeaways - **Communication Matters**: Effective communication involves more than just words; it's about engaging with the audience on multiple levels.   - **Build Relationships**: Fostering connections can ease the anxieties associated with technological changes and encourage acceptance.   - **Adaptability Is Key**: The landscape of education is ever-evolving, and leaders must be prepared to pivot and adjust their strategies accordingly.   - **Community Support**: Collaborating with other institutions can lead to shared success and innovation in the field of education.   As technology continues to reshape the educational landscape, the insights shared by Nate Tucker remind us of the importance of human connection, effective communication, and adaptability. By focusing on building relationships and fostering a supportive community, educators can navigate the challenges of change and create a positive learning environment for all.     Want to dive deeper into this topic?

You didn't burn out. You got bored, and your brain did the rest. André Brisson, The Impulsive Thinker®, breaks down what actually happens when ADHD entrepreneurs walk away — or get forced out. It's not about losing. It's about refusing to do it on someone else's terms.   In This Episode: Why "putting yourself first" is non-negotiable for ADHD Entrepreneurs Setting boundaries and learning which clients and team members still respect you Regulating your batteries before your brain and business crash   What You'll Take Away: Running your own company doesn't mean anyone else gets a say Survival mode isn't strategy — it's your ADHD brain in panic spinning its wheels Doing work that makes you angry or bored is a signal, not a moral failing You can drop 75% of your revenue and still come out ahead — if your boundaries are right If you're burned out and overwhelmed, it's time to quit validating your decisions with outside opinions   GUEST BIODr. Brandie Keates is a neurodivergent entrepreneur and founder of Bloom Sanctuary. She built and sold one of the largest chiropractic practices in her state and now creates practical support for women in pain.   Follow Dr. Brandie YouTube Facebook Instagram Website DrBrandie.com   ABOUT THIS EPISODE The Impulsive Thinker® and Dr. Brandy Keats get brutally honest about business breakups, burnout, and why ADHD brains refuse the slow death of "steady" growth. They talk about why boundary-setting is everything for ADHD Entrepreneurs and what really happens when you decide to put yourself first. This conversation digs into overwhelm, the real cost of bad-fit teams and clients, and the guilt that comes from doing less but getting more. It's a direct look at neurological regulation, dropping work that kills your batteries, and how to build a business that survives the ADHD cycle. If you've ever felt the urge to burn it all down or start over, this episode is your permission slip. Hit play if you're ready to stop apologizing and actually run things your way. Email me about it at andre@theimpulsivethinker.com. Remember — ADHD failure is measured on society's measuring stick. Not yours. Your brain runs on interest, not importance. That's not a flaw. That's a different operating system. ADHD is not a deficit. It's a difference.

About a year ago, Audrey decided to close her retail shop and we'll talk about that today. Audrey opens up about the difficult decision it was to close after being open for nearly two decades. We talk about the challenges and emotions of stepping away from something that you've built from the ground up. We talk about hustle culture ane the process of rediscovering creativity and purpose outside of traditional business models. We also talk about what she does and does not miss about running an in-person store, the pressures of being responsible for a large payroll, and the power of pausing to reflect on what you really want in both life and business. Friends, if you are grappling with any sort of change, if you're feeling stuck or questioning your next move, then I really feel like this episode is kind of a permission slip to follow your intuition and to honor your evolving needs and really kind of just explore what's possible when you give yourself the space to grow.This episode is brought to you by our Proof to Product LABS coaching program.

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.

Welcome to the season of life where you stop living on autopilot. In this episode of The Real Dish, Mareya dives into the Midlife Audit—a simple but transformative process for evaluating where you are, where you've been, and where you want to go next. We'll unpack the signs that it's time for a reset, why change often feels uncomfortable before it feels liberating, and how to embrace reinvention as a natural part of growth. Whether you're navigating menopause, an empty nest, a career shift, or simply a desire for something more, this conversation will help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of possibility. A midlife audit isn't about judging the life you've built. It's about making sure the life you're feeding next still fits who you've become. Because your most powerful era isn't behind you - it's right now.

The leadership style that got you promoted can quietly become the thing that holds you back. When you move from building great work to leading people, the rules change fast, especially for technical founders and high-performing individual contributors who suddenly wake up running a business instead of writing code.We sit down with Mike Krupit, a serial entrepreneur and executive coach who has lived the journey from software engineer to CTO, COO, and CEO across eight startups. Together, we break down why humans are not deterministic, why “best performer” promotions often fail, and why not everyone should be pushed into people management. We also dig into smarter organizational design: building roles around real strengths and creating dual career ladders so experts can grow without becoming reluctant managers.Then we tackle the pressure cooker topic leaders cannot avoid: AI disruption. Mike shares how to lead through uncertainty when technology moves faster than people can grow, why overcommunication beats silence, and how to run real two-way dialogue that addresses fear without pretending you have perfect answers. We close with a practical lens for situational leadership: knowing when to go into founder mode, when to step back into trust mode, and how to let teams learn through safe mistakes that build ownership.If you're focused on leadership development, change management, founder to CEO growth, or navigating AI at work, you'll leave with clear questions to ask and moves to try this week.

Most fundraising problems aren't fundraising problems. They're board problems.Elise Woodworth — VMI alum, Air Force veteran, and author of Business Not Battle — joins Trevor to unpack why so many nonprofit boards stall out, and what to actually do about it. She came to this work through a back door (the VMI Foundation made her their first female and youngest-ever trustee), and her approach is unusual: instead of teaching EDs how to manage their boards, she teaches board members how to be effective in the first place.In this episode: the 20-minute Champion's Elevator Pitch exercise you can run at your next meeting, the four thoughtful questions that move a stuck organization forward, why Elise refuses to say the word "fundraising" with new boards, and her four-month blueprint for turning around a burned-out board.If you've ever said "I can't get my board to fundraise," this one's for you.Chapters:00:00 Intro00:55 Understanding Strength and Strategic Mindset05:45 Journey into Nonprofit Leadership11:14 Empowering Board Members14:53 Embracing Change for Growth18:37 Aligning Mission and Leadership19:19 The Champion's Elevator Pitch24:11 Transforming Fear into Invitation30:35 Passion for Nonprofit ImpactHave a question or topic you'd like us to cover?

Patricia Delgado: From Principal Ballerina to Tony Award Winner Growing up Cuban-American in Miami, Patricia Delgado found her love of performance early and spent seventeen years with Miami City Ballet, a decade of that as a principal dancer. But when she faced a series of injuries, she was forced to confront a question she wasn't ready to answer: what comes next? In this episode, Patricia opens up about the physical and emotional toll of stepping away from the only identity she had ever known, how she found her way into choreography alongside her husband Justin Peck, and what it meant to reconnect with her Cuban roots through the Broadway hit Buena Vista Social Club, leading her to be the first Latina to win a Tony Award for Best Choreography.
