Drawing a parallel to a scientific test, this business application is presented as a way for contractors to gauge their readiness, alignment, and ability to perform under pressure, particularly when interacting with customers. Eric and his circle's discussion focuses on role-playing with peers as a key method for conducting this test, allowing individuals to receive honest feedback on their communication skills, tonality, and overall approach. The conversation also highlights the importance of a contractor's license as a form of initial qualification and the need to assess both the contractor and the potential client for suitability. Ultimately, regular "testing" through practice and peer review is emphasized as crucial for preventative maintenance and continuous improvement in the contracting profession. Key Takeaways: Regularly practice through role playing or similar tests to sharpen your skills and improve how you handle pressure. Listen actively to fully understand your customers' needs and build connection. Seek and accept honest feedback from peers or mentors to identify and correct your weaknesses. Consistent training and practice is preventative maintenance that helps you avoid slipping up and losing potential jobs. Ensure your business is fully licensed and insured and be ready to demonstrate your credibility to clients.

Dive into this episode of The Golden Age of Orthodontics with hosts Dr. Leon Klempner and Amy Epstein, joined by Trey Lawrence, CEO of the AAO. We explore essential strategies for today's orthodontists: navigating the complexities of social media to avoid HIPAA violations, crafting airtight informed consent processes to shield against malpractice, and responding to negative reviews without escalating risks.

In this insightful episode, Jerry Kennedy dives deep into the important topic of chiropractic website ownership versus renting. Learn about the pros, cons, and misconceptions surrounding website management to make the best decision for your chiropractic practice. Key Points Discussed: 1. The Catalyst for This Discussion Jerry shares his experience with seeing a social media ad discouraging chiropractors from renting websites, advocating instead for ownership.   Highlights the misleading aspects of this marketing approach. 2. The True Purpose of Your Chiropractic Website Your website should clearly represent your practice and communicate your value to potential patients. It should create an immediate feeling of reassurance and relief for your ideal patients, helping them know they've found the right chiropractor. 3. Common Misconceptions About Renting vs. Owning Owning a website does not eliminate ongoing costs (hosting, domain renewal, plugins, maintenance). Renting doesn't inherently mean you're throwing away money; it could offer consistent value and peace of mind. Website Management Options Explored: Option 1: DIY (Do It Yourself) Pros: Cheapest initial cost; complete control. Cons: Time-consuming, requires technical and design skills, full responsibility for problems. Option 2: DIY with Professional Help (Hybrid Model) Pros: Professional initial setup, saves significant time, good initial functionality and appearance. Cons: High upfront costs, ongoing technical maintenance responsibilities, potential hidden SEO and functional flaws. Option 3: Full Website Service Pros: Professional management, design, and SEO optimization; ongoing support and updates; leveraging expert experience. Cons: Higher ongoing monthly cost; less direct control for those who prefer hands-on management. Key Recommendations: Financial Considerations Avoid making website decisions based purely on cost savings. Prioritize overall return on investment and functionality. Practical Tips for Control Maintain control of your domain (URL). Maintain control of your business email setup independently (e.g., Google Workspace). Warning Signs Be cautious of marketing scare tactics. Ensure the website solution you choose genuinely enhances your online presence and patient conversion. How Jerry and Rocket Chiro Can Help: Request a FREE New Patient Search Review: Jerry offers a detailed, personalized video review of your website and SEO effectiveness, clearly explaining your online visibility and patient appeal. Additional services available include website design, ongoing management, and comprehensive SEO services tailored specifically for chiropractors.

However, relying solely on training can lead to missed opportunities to build a truly immersive service culture. The challenge is not whether to train, but how to embed training within a broader, more strategic framework that sustains guest service excellence over time. In this episode, Matt and Josh talk about how training fits into a larger ecosystem of steps to create a guest service culture that goes far beyond initial onboarding. Looking at training from 50,000 feet "What do you want to be known for? What makes you number one in your category?" Matt and Josh emphasize that while training is essential, it is not the sole solution to performance issues, pointing out that organizations often focus on training without questioning if they are teaching the right skills or addressing other factors that impact performance. The conversation highlights the risk of defaulting to retraining when the root cause of issues may lie elsewhere. The first two steps in crafting a guest service culture: establishing a guest experience vision and defining the service standards that will fulfill that vision. This strategic clarity ensures that training aligns with the organization's larger goals and that team members understand not just what to do, but why it matters. Assessing and Sustaining the Standard "How do you know that your team members know what is expected from them?" Ensure comprehension through assessments, ongoing coaching, and reinforcement. Matt and Josh stress that training should not end at the classroom door—it must be followed by observation, feedback, and recognition to keep the standard alive and evolving in daily operations. Celebrating Success and Re-evaluating "Where can team members quickly access success stories that exemplify the guest experience standard?" The importance of celebrating success stories and broadcasting them throughout the organization cannot be overstated. This not only reinforces desired behaviors but also helps to create a motivational feedback loop for team members. The final step—re-evaluating the standard—ensures that guest experience remains dynamic, competitive, and innovative by seeking input from team members and challenging the status quo.

High blood pressure is not a disease! Learn how to lower blood pressure with dietary changes and increased intake of specific nutrients that act as natural blood pressure remedies in the body. Address the root cause of hypertension rather than just treating the symptoms. 0:00 Introduction: What causes high blood pressure? 1:15 Blood pressure explained2:10 How to lower blood pressure and address nutritional deficiencies 2:38 Natural blood pressure remedies4:33 Fixing insulin resistance to lower blood pressure Over 90% of hypertension is labeled as having an unknown cause, which is very profitable for drug companies. The endothelial layer of your arteries has insulin receptors. When these receptors are damaged, your blood pressure can increase. Too much insulin allows too much calcium to enter the cells, so calcium channel blockers are often used to lower high blood pressure. However, the connection between insulin resistance and high blood pressure is usually ignored. A protective shield called the glycocalyx typically covers the endothelial tissue on the inside of your arteries. When this shield becomes damaged, it can cause a cascade of problems, including cellular damage, inflammation, calcium buildup, and excess clotting. The glycocalyx is vulnerable to damage from glucose and fructose. A low-carb diet and intermittent fasting can help you get healthy and lower your blood pressure quickly. Insulin resistance creates serious nutritional deficiencies that must also be addressed to lower blood pressure.To help reverse high blood pressure, increase the following nutrients:•Vitamin D •Magnesium glycinate•Potassium •SulfurTo fix insulin resistance and lower blood pressure, it's important to avoid carbohydrates, sugar, starch, and seed oils. Remember that it may take a few weeks to notice blood pressure changes. A food log can help keep you on track. If your blood pressure is decreasing, but you notice that the top number remains high, focus on reducing stress. Ensure you sleep enough, take long walks, or try ashwagandha to lower your stress levels.

This Podcast Is Episode 628, And It's About Efficient Payroll Implementation For Construction Business Owners mplementing an effective payroll system is crucial for construction business owners, as it directly impacts project management, employee satisfaction, and overall financial health. Given the complexities of the construction industry, including varying pay rates, overtime requirements, and the need for certified payroll reports, developing a streamlined payroll process is essential.    Here are some steps to consider:   1. Determine Payroll Needs: Assess the size of your workforce (hourly vs. salaried employees). Identify the types of workers (e.g., subcontractors, full-time employees) and ensure your payroll system can handle various pay rates and classifications.   2. Choose the Right Payroll Software: Look for software that caters to the construction industry's needs, including support for job costing, lien waivers, and compliance with prevailing wage laws. Ensure it has features for tracking time worked, overtime, and benefits. 3. Set Up Employee Information:  Gather necessary documentation for all employees, including W-4 forms, identification, and relevant licenses.  Enter employee data into the payroll system, including their pay rates, tax information, and benefits enrollment. 4. Establish a Time Tracking System: Implement a reliable method for tracking hours worked. This can be done via paper timesheets, digital time clocks, or mobile apps. Ensure the method complies with labor regulations regarding work hours and overtime.   5. Understand Payroll Tax Obligations:  Familiarize yourself with federal, state, and local payroll taxes, including Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment.  Set up an account with the IRS and pay estimated taxes regularly to avoid penalties.   6. Communicate with Your Team: Educate your employees about how the payroll system works, including how to report hours worked and any deductions they may see. Keep an open line of communication for any payroll-related questions or concerns.   7. Run Payroll: Determine a payroll schedule (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly) that best suits your business needs. Process payroll on time, ensuring accurate calculations for hours worked, overtime, and deductions.   8. Maintain Compliance: Stay updated with labor laws and regulations specific to the construction industry to avoid compliance issues. Keep records of payroll transactions and employee information for audit purposes.   9. Review and Adjust: Regularly review your payroll processes for efficiency and accuracy. Make adjustments as needed to enhance effectiveness and address any emerging issues. Consider soliciting employee feedback about the payroll process to identify any areas for improvement.   By following these steps, construction contractor business owners can implement a payroll system that meets their operational needs and effectively supports their workforce.    Now, what if you already have a system in place? Upgrading or changing your payroll system offers numerous significant benefits. Saving time and money, making everyone's lives easier, and improving integration are good reasons to consider a change.   But if the switch is mishandled, the results can be catastrophic and lead to long-lasting problems. So, please make sure that you allocate the project the time it requires. While some people may indeed enjoy coming to work, earning money is the main reason most people seek employment. Our jobs make the world go round, supporting us and our families so that we can afford everything else in life.   Not receiving payment correctly is a significant issue for your crew. As a construction business owner, you want to ensure your employees are paid sufficiently and on time. This protects your business and their happiness.   Changing payroll systems is a huge undertaking. Many moving parts and people will be affected. Ensure that this project receives the time and attention it deserves. Determine what will be necessary to make the transition, understand who it affects, and communicate with everyone involved. The planning process is critical. Treat it as the foundation to making the switch, and the rest will fall into place.   The primary motivation for implementing a new payroll system is to simplify processes. Yet, many construction businesses overlook how their new technology can help. It's easy to lean on old methods for getting things done because they're familiar, but that would be a mistake when switching to a new payroll system.   Ensure you are familiar with and understand the features of your new platform. The real-time, monetary, and energy savings will be realized here. Automate anything you can. When these tools prove their worth, your team will understand the rationale behind the switch.   That is why we're here.

What Is Elopement in Autism? Elopement—also known as wandering—is a common behavior among children with autism. It refers to when a child leaves a safe environment without permission, often placing themselves in potentially dangerous situations. According to the National Autism Association, 49% of autistic children have attempted to elope, and the behavior typically peaks between ages 4 and 7. Understanding the causes of elopement is the first step toward reducing its frequency and improving safety. Top Causes of Elopement in Autistic Children 1. Sensory Overload or Sensory Seeking Many children with autism experience sensory processing differences. They may find certain environments too loud, bright, or overwhelming, leading them to flee. Others may seek out sensory-rich experiences—like spinning fans, running water, or flashing lights—and wander off in pursuit of them. 2. Communication Difficulties Children with limited or nonverbal communication skills may elope as a way to express a need or emotion. Elopement becomes a nonverbal message, saying “I'm upset,” “I need a break,” or “I don't understand.” 3. Escaping Demands or Transitions Some children elope to avoid non-preferred activities, such as schoolwork, chores, or social interaction. Elopement can function as a behavioral response to challenging expectations or transitions. 4. Anxiety and Fight-or-Flight Responses Autistic children often experience anxiety in social or unfamiliar settings. For some, running away is a natural response to overwhelming fear, acting as a way to self-soothe or find safety. 5. Impulsivity and Poor Executive Function Children on the autism spectrum may also struggle with impulse control and planning. In some cases, they may run impulsively without a clear goal or without recognizing potential dangers. 6. Goal-Directed Wandering Not all elopement is escape behavior. Sometimes children are simply trying to reach a desired location—like a favorite playground, a relative's house, or even a store they remember. One of the most common, yet unknown, triggers for elopement is phenol sensitivity. Elopement is from many things but the sensory overload and impulsivity also come from phenols known to contribute to eloping.  Phenols are the natural colorings in foods such as in fruits and vegetables. Phenols are also in the artificial colorings that are in yogurt, candy, and popsicles, etc. Used industrially, they help form and are contained in plastics. They can be an allergen, whether from food or plastic products. People with poor methylation are often phenol sensitive. It is very common for children on the autism spectrum to be allergic to phenols. This is often due to an ill digestive tract. Normally the body could properly utilize and eliminate phenols. Phenols and salicylates are in most foods. Candida/yeast overgrowth and leaky gut contribute to phenol sensitivity. Leaky gut will allow these chemicals to enter the bloodstream in high  concentrations. This alarms the body and triggers an immune response which creates an allergy to these chemicals...

Your thyroid is not just “another hormone”—it's the maestro that sets the tempo for your whole body, and it especially needs love as progesterone drops in perimenopause. But here's the problem: so many practitioners still miss the real story. If all you've had checked is your TSH and you were told “it's normal,” you could still be sidelined by sluggish thyroid symptoms—because so much more is happening under the surface. A full thyroid panel really matters. That means pushing for TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies. But it doesn't stop with testing. You need someone looking at your labs with a functional lens (the ‘optimal' prevention-focused ranges, not just “fine for the average population”) and someone who understands the nuances—like how stress, inflammation, and gut health all play a role in your thyroid feeling sluggish. Here is what we cover in this episode: Top Symptoms of Hypothyroidism: Think constipation, hair loss (even in your brows!), feeling chilly all the time, low libido, dry skin, stubborn bloating, and more. If you nod along to two or more, this episode is for you! Why “Normal” Thyroid Labs Can Still Mean Trouble: Many women have labs that come back “normal,” yet their symptoms scream otherwise. I explain why that happens and what labs you actually need. What a Full Thyroid Panel Really Looks Like: Most practitioners aren't running the full panel! I spell it out for you (hint: it's more than just TSH and T4). Reverse T3—The Missing Piece: This marker is rarely tested, but it tells you if your thyroid hormone is actually getting into your cells where it belongs, or if it's being blocked! The Role of Gut Health and Minerals: If you want lasting thyroid health (and overall well-being), you have to zero in on gut health and the minerals your thyroid loves—spoiler: copper is way more important than you think!   You may also enjoy this episode: EPISODE 43: All about thyroid health with Annabel Bateman EPISODE 114: Thyroid health in midlife: post-illness autoimmunity/hypothyroidism, why TSH will rise with iodine & this is OK, progesterone & thyroid health & more!   LIVE TRAINING: The Perimenopause Reset: From Exhausted to Energised.

“Before starting a new AI project, it is really worthwhile defining the business priority first,” asserts Joanna Hodgson, the UK and Ireland regional leader at Red Hat.“What specific problem are you trying to solve with AI? Do we need a general purpose AI application or would a more focused model be better? How will we manage security, compliance and governance of that model? This process can help to reveal where AI adoption makes sense and where it doesn't," she added. In this episode of the Tech Transformed podcast, host Shubhangi Dua, podcast producer at EM360Tech speaks with Hodgson, a seasoned business and technical leader with over 25 years of experience at IBM and Red Hat. They talk about the challenges of scaling AI projects, the importance of open source in compliance with GDPR, and the geopolitical aspects of AI innovation.

Joanna emphasises the need for a strategic approach to AI and the importance of data quality for sustainable business practices. While large language models (LLMs) dominate headlines, SLMs offer a cost-effective and efficient alternative for specific tasks.The podcast answers key questions, like ‘how do businesses balance ethical considerations, moral obligations, and even patriotism with the drive for AI advancement?' Hodgson shares her perspective on how open source can facilitate this balance, ensuring AI works for everyone, not just those with the deepest pockets.Hodgson also provides her vision on the future of AI. It comprises interconnected small AI models, agentic AI, and a world where AI frees up teams to create personal connections and exceptional customer experiences.TakeawaysCuriosity is a strength in technology.AI is becoming embedded in existing applications.Regulatory compliance is crucial for AI systems.Open source can enhance trust and transparency.Small language models are efficient for specific tasks.AI should free teams to create personal connections.A strategic AI platform is essential for businesses.Data quality is key for sustainable business success.Collaboration in open source accelerates innovation.AI can be used for both good and bad outcomes.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Tech Transform Podcast01:35 Pivotal Moments in Joanna's Career05:12 Challenges in Scaling AI Projects09:15 Open Source and GDPR Compliance13:11 Regulatory Compliance and Data Security17:30 Geopolitical Aspects of AI Innovation22:31 Collaboration Between IBM and Red Hat23:58 Understanding Small Language Models29:54 Future Trends in AI and SustainabilityAbout Red HatRed Hat is a leading provider of enterprise open source solutions, using a community-powered approach to deliver high-performing Linux, hybrid cloud, edge, and Kubernetes technologies.

In this episode of the AppleVis Podcast, Gaurav returns with Lesson 6 in the ongoing series on mastering Numbers, Apple's free spreadsheet app for Mac.In the previous lesson, he explored how to insert formulas effectively. This time, the focus is on using the autofill feature to save time and eliminate repetitive tasks.Autofill EssentialsApply formulas across multiple cells with ease using autofill.Insert the same formula into multiple rows by holding Shift and using the arrow keys.Access autofill options from the table menu.How to Use AutofillSelect the range of cells where the formula should be applied.Choose the direction for autofill (up, down, left, or right).Use the autofill command to extend the formula across the selected area.Adjusting FormulasCopy formulas from one column (e.g., January) to others (e.g., February, March).Ensure row numbers stay the same while updating column references.For instance, replicate the formula from B2–B5 in January to C2–C5 in February.Reviewing and EditingReview and edit formulas in each column as needed.Maintain row consistency while adjusting for different columns during autofill.Using these techniques will help streamline your workflow and minimize manual input.TranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by AI Note Taker – VoicePen, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers' names, voices, or content.Gaurav: So in this lesson, if you remember in the previous lesson, we had learned how to insert formulas. In this lesson today, we are going to learn how to quickly autofill formulas so that you don't need to fill them in again and again when you want to put in the same formula across different cells. So we're back into our numbers table.Gaurav/VoiceOver: Sap Food, Rope Water, Rope Transportation, Internet. So our January has now got a total, but our February and March remain blank.Gaurav: So I'm going to move into the February total cell.VoiceOver: February empty.Gaurav: I'm going to hold down the shift key. And I'm going to hit right arrow again. C6 through D6 are now added to my selection, which means these cells are selected. And I want to insert the same formula into these two rows as I had inserted into column B, where I inserted the total for the January month. I'm going to hit view, press M for menu.Gaurav: I'm going to keep hitting right arrow until I get to table. I'm going to hit down arrow.Gaurav/VoiceOver: I'm going to type in autofill, autofill cells, submenu.

Kevin and Zach welcome back Scott Shrader to talk digital dentistry and specifically about Medit scanners and software. Both Zach and Al are current Medit users so the episode is a great one if you're new to scanning or want to incorporate digital dentistry into your workflow even more! 3D Dentist Approach: While courses often involve scanners, 3D Dentist is largely scanner-agnostic, focusing on techniques. Importance of Training & Support: Scott emphasizes the critical role of knowledgeable support and hands-on training (like that provided by 3D Tech/3D Dentist) when integrating technology, contrasting it with less specialized support from large suppliers. Support is ongoing for products purchased through them. Medit Overview: A South Korean company celebrating 25 years (mostly lab scanners, ~7 years for intraoral). Medit's Value Proposition: No annual fees, free software, and free software upgrades are key differentiators. Medit Link Software Suite (The "Apps"): A powerful, free suite accessible even to non-Medit scanner users (importing STLs). Includes free apps like Model Builder, Crown Design, Night Guard/Bite Splint, Ortho Simulation. Newer, more powerful CAD features (AI Final Crown, Provisional, Inlays/Onlays, Bridge Design) are being introduced with a per-export fee, but the core remains free. AI Crown Design: Discussion on how AI differs from standard proposals (better morphology matching, less tweaking, potential AI margination) vs. algorithms. Practical Scanning Tips & Troubleshooting: Marking margins: Alan does, Zach doesn't – lab preferences vary. Sluggish scanning fixes: Ensure the laptop is plugged in, perform all updates (Windows, graphics drivers, Medit Link), check scanner tip condition (rated for ~100 autoclave cycles, look for degradation/spots). Technique: Dry teeth well, use the white light setting for scanning through blood, proper path/tissue capture (especially around canines). Hardware: i700 vs. i900: The i900 is smaller, lighter, has a larger scan area, multiple tip sizes, and is generally smoother, especially for full arches and scanning through blood. The i900 "Classic" brings back the physical button many users missed. Recommended Medit Apps to Explore: Model Builder & Bite Splint: Great, easy entry points for CAD, good for team delegation (requires printer for output). Ortho Simulation: Automated simulation of tooth movement. Smile Design: Powerful tool using even basic phone photos, creates a shareable before/after slider for patient communication. App Access: Apps run on the scanning computer but can be accessed remotely by logging into your Medit Link account on another computer (requires downloading case files). Integrations: Medit Link integrates with third-party software and platforms (SprintRay Cloud, Exocad, etc.).

By May 7, all U.S. citizens are supposed to have their federally required “Real ID” so that they can travel by air or enter a federal building. But what about using them to register to vote to ensure they are legally present in the country and eligible to vote in our elections? The SAVE Act, introduced by Republican Texas Rep. (and University of Virginia alumnus) Chip Roy, recently passed the U.S. House of Representatives and now is awaiting action in the Senate. The SAVE Act, among other things, would require proof of citizenship for voter registration in federal elections and strengthen verification processes to ensure voter rolls only contained eligible citizen voters.
