What do you want to be known for? What is your mission? Establish a mantra fro yourself and say it out loud when you need a little pick me up.

When you have the intention to change your sales approach, the behavior follows suit. In today's episode of The Sales Evangelist, Donald is joined by Scott Savage, Managing Director at Franklin Covey, to learn how sellers can increase their close rate by winning more deals.  Salespeople tend to think we close more than we do. In actuality, the close right is only around 17%. But imagine what it could be if that close rate were higher. Why are win rates so low? Many would say the pandemic, but it's not one sole factor.  42% of the time, decision-makers could not tell the difference between vendors. Sellers almost always think they're different. But it doesn't matter how different you are if the buyer cannot differentiate between sellers. Talk less, question more: Executives and other buyers judge sellers based on their questions, not necessarily their answers. Clients don't want sellers to just talk at them; they want a discussion to know their problems are being addressed. It's not that a seller is disliked, but rather that the meeting didn't progress with the buyer's needs in mind. RDM is Scott's strategy to close more sales: Relevant, distinct, and memorable: For relevant, ask yourself what the client truly cares about. What do they wish to buy or add to their current company? Distinct is explaining how they will be dramatically better because of what you can bring to the table. People make decisions based on differences, not similarities. People want compelling contrast. Juxtapose those distinct differences by making those differences easy to share and difficult to forget. Start with the end in mind.  Establish objectives for each meeting to help guide interactions toward those pre-established checkpoints. Ensure your close rate is open: we get too focused on ourselves, and our intention is based on the sale, not the best decision. To stand out, take the RDM strategy. Next, understand what's essential to each decision-maker to get everyone on board. Many people can veto a deal. But, if you know each stakeholder and help them improve, you'll altogether avoid that issue. Your biggest competitor isn't other companies; it's the status quo. Be interesting and stand out to convince each decision-maker to choose you. Scott's final takeaway? Most sellers think they're better than they are. Establish what makes you better and convince buyers of that factor. If you can set yourself apart, you'll close more deals.

We all have days when we feel stuck. Maybe you've been working at the same job for years and feel you're no closer to your goals. Or perhaps you don't know what to do with your life. In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, Brian Luebben, CEO of Sexton Property Group, shares his thoughts and tips on living your best life. He teaches you how to create a vision and make it possible because guess what — you deserve to live your best life. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Find the right mentor. Create a vision for your future. Establish your finances. Build key relationships. Take action to attain your goals. [08:04] How to Find a Mentor Are you looking for a mentor? It's challenging to know where to start when you're looking for the best mentor for you. Here's what you need to ask yourself: What are you looking for in a mentor? Where do you want to be? Who do you want to be? Gain clarity around the vision of yourself and your future. Once you do that, you're ready to pursue a mentor to help you attain your goals and create the life you want. [12:04] Pursuing a Mentor Follow them on their social media. Find out what they are looking for. Establish familiarity by engaging with their content. Wait until they have a specific problem you could help with — and then offer some help. [23:17] Creating Your Vision If you want to attain your goals and ideal future, you need to have a clear vision of the life you want to live. There are four steps to creating that vision: Determine what you want your dream life to look like. Establish a financial foundation. Build your relationships with peers and mentors. [27:44] Figuring Out Your Good Life Financial freedom doesn't mean not working. It just means that you do not have to. But that may not even be your idea of a good life. You deserve to pursue your dream life. You can choose to seek financial, personal, and philosophical freedom. When pursuing your dream life, you may have to face change. Be bold and courageous enough to take action. You have the power to take your dream life from possible to probable to planned.

After belief and baptism...comes brotherhood! We've been studying Acts, chapter 2, and the miracle of the pouring out of the Holy Spirit. Then there was another miracle: 3,000 were born again. But that was only the beginning! In those new believers, God worked a sort of ongoing, living miracle: they were united. In later times, some people have tried to engineer this depth of fellowship... but the causes of their koinonia are right there in the text. Jim will help us discover them now.

June 30, 2022 — Establish the Pass Podcast Episode 231 - Blake Lovell and Dillon Reagan get a head start on their 2022 Fantasy Football preview with their early sleepers, breakouts, and overvalued ADP running backs and wide receivers. While there's uncertainty about Leonard Fournette and Tyreek Hill at their current ADPs, there's a lot of optimism about potential breakout candidates deeper on draft boards for RBs and WRs. Headlining the sleeper list are Breece Hall, Travis Etienne, and Treylon Burks, while some solid fantasy contributors from last season who could break out as full-blown stars who dramatically outplay their ADPs are JK Dobbins, Allen Robinson, Mike Williams, and Gabriel Davis.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder — unless you're trying to get a foothold in a new market. Truth be told, even in a much more “virtual” world, we as photographers still need to establish ourselves in any market with our PHYSICAL presence. You could have the best SEO in the world, and even be recommended by local venues, but if you're not THERE building connections, it's going to be really easy to lose your grip to someone who is. Of course, if you don't live somewhere, you can't be there all the time. When you're not there, use your portfolio, blog, and social media to highlight your shoots in the area —and to share your knowledge of the region and space. Start building up your market-specific portfolio, so prospective clients can see that you've been there, you know the area well, and you know how to capture that location's unique magic.

When you catch fish, you take them out of the water. When you catch people... The Lord had said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Now, Peter was about to make a catch of 3,000 people - not taken out of the water, but put in the water! Two Christian baptisms - water and Spirit - are on display in Acts 2. And both are necessary.

We launched an observational research study in order to gather CGM data. Data from our members will help us better understand what blood glucose patterns look like in the general wellness population. The study differs from others because we're working to establish a baseline for health rather than a baseline for disease. With all of this data coming from our Members (with minimal additional effort from them), we'll be able to collect the data, synthesize it, and publish it. By doing so, we'll start to better understand blood glucose baselines and build a framework that will show the wellness population how to adjust nutrition and make lifestyle changes in order to optimize health through behavior change. In this episode, Levels' Head of Research and Development Dr. Taylor Sittler, Levels' Head of Business Maz Brumand, and one of the Levels' advisors Dom D'Agostino, PhD discuss: The Levels research study and how we will collect data from our members What this large study and data collection mean for the future of metabolic health How we work to be part of health optimization medicine to get ahead of disease Follow our podcast, A Whole New Level, for more conversations about metabolic health. We talk about our mission to solve the metabolic health crisis, our fully remote and async startup culture, and the process of building a health and wellness movement from the ground up.

"Sit back and put your feet up!" When our work is done it's nice to grab a drink and relax in our favorite chair. It's a picture of rest, accomplishment, and satisfaction. That's an image that David gave us of the Messiah. He's seated in the place of honor, "taking it easy," as we might say, and now the Father has something to do: He's going to provide a footrest.

"Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you!  Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.  Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days. Indeed the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter. You have condemned, you have murdered the just; he does not resist you. Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand." James 5:1-8What are you pursuing in life? What things will make you happy?

There are growing calls for a long covid research clinic in New Zealand, with experts saying upskilling the health workforce is vital. Otago University has begun preliminary work towards the possible establishment of a multi-disciplinary clinic, to help people who've had Covid who are still battling with ongoing symptoms such as breathing issues. Cardio-respiratory physiotherapist, Dr Sarah Rhodes, who is a Lecturer at the University of Otago's School of Physiotherapy and Secretary of the Physiotherapy New Zealand Cardio-Respiratory Special Interest Group says conservative estimates suggest one 10 people who experience an acute Covid infection will go on to develop persistent symptoms such as extreme tiredness and breathlessness. She hopes a long covid clinic will be up and running in six months. Physiotherapist Dr Tania Clifton-Smith specialises in breathing pattern disorders, and she stresses the vital role physio plays in the treatment and recovery of people Long Covid.

Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Twitter/IG: @RyanHawk12    https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12 Susan Cain is the #1 bestselling author of Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole and Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, which spent eight years on The New York Times best-seller list, and has been translated into 40 languages. Susan's TED talks have been viewed over 40 million times. LinkedIn named her the Top 6th Influencer in the World, just behind Richard Branson and Melinda French Gates. Susan partners with Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Grant, and Dan Pink to curate the Next Big Idea Book Club. Notes: "Compassion means to suffer together." How to use sadness? "Make the pain your creative offering." To suffer with other beings brings people together. When people are grieving the loss of a loved one, they often want to talk about that person. Aristotle wondered why the great poets, philosophers, artists, and politicians often have melancholic personalities… his question was based on the ancient belief that the human body contains 4 humors: each corresponding to a different temperament - melancholic (sad), sanguine (happy), choleric (aggressive), and phlegmatic (calm). Joseph Campbell said, “We should strive to participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world.” Connecting with what matters and taking committed action—moves us from bitter to sweet, from loss to love.” Everyone experiences loss. It is part of the human condition. How have you moved “from bitter to sweet, from loss to love”? Are there coping strategies you recommend? The bittersweet quiz — 1-10. If you scored between 5.8 and 10, you're a true connoisseur of bittersweetness: the place where light and dark meet. Questions: Do you tear up easily at touching TV commercials? Are you especially moved by old photographs? Do you react intensely to music, art, or nature? Have others described you as an old soul? Do you find comfort or inspiration on a rainy day? Are you moved to goosebumps several times a day? Do you feel elevated by sad music? Do you tend to see the happiness and sadness in things, all at once? Do you seek out beauty in your everyday life?" (I scored a 7.1) “The secret to life is to put yourself in the right lighting. For some, it's a Broadway spotlight; for others, a lamplit desk. Use your natural powers -- of persistence, concentration, and insight -- to do work you love and work that matters. Solve problems. make art, think deeply.” “The secret to life is to put yourself in the right lighting. For some, it's a Broadway spotlight; for others, a lamplit desk. Use your natural powers -- of persistence, concentration, and insight -- to do work you love and work that matters. Solve problems. make art, think deeply.” “There's zero correlation between being the best talker and having the best ideas.” “If we could honor sadness a little more, maybe we could see it—rather than enforced smiles and righteous outrage—as the bridge we need to connect with each other. We could remember that no matter how distasteful we might find someone's opinions, no matter how radiant, or fierce, someone may appear, they have suffered, or they will.” “The secret that our poets and philosophers have been trying to tell us for centuries, is that our longing is the great gateway to belonging.” “The tragedy of life is linked inescapably with its splendor; you could tear civilization down and rebuild it from scratch, and the same dualities would rise again. Yet to fully inhabit these dualities—the dark as well as the light—is, paradoxically, the only way to transcend them. And transcending them is the ultimate point. The bittersweet is about the desire for communion, the wish to go home.” “Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.” Life and Career advice: You have to find a way to do it. Life can sweep you up quickly. Establish a backup plan. It frees you up to be more creative. Develop rituals for writing... Purely with pleasure.

 What Message are You Listening To? Today's readings are II Kings 13-14, II Chronicles 25 and II Timothy 3.  We are reading from the New Living Translation. What message are you listening to?  Something's informing your life and telling you what's true and untrue.   False messages come to us through our past and through people.  Experiences from our past leave their mark on us.  They bruise us and we need to be healed from them.  We need to have healing words spoken over those wounds.  Sometimes the people we've been with have spoken words to us that are not true: You're never going to change. You shouldn't even try.  You're not worth the time.  Those are false messages.  Those words don't offer us wisdom or point us to our salvation. They don't teach us what is right.  They simply say that we are wrong.  That's not the Good News of the Bible. That's not the true news of the Scripture.  Paul tells us that all Scripture is from God and is profitable.  It's useful to teach us.  It corrects us, yes, but it also offers us the wisdom to trust Christ for our salvation. It teaches us the truth that set us free and helps to root us in the life we have in Jesus.  False messages will run you down into the ground and never let you up.  But the Good News that Paul is talking about is this: God uses it (His Word)to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.  (II Tim 3:17 NLT) So what kind of messages are you listening to ?   Establish your soul, heart, and life in what is real.  The real good news of the Gospel says, Christ now lives in you, and through the faith of the Son of God, you can change, grow, and experience life, here and now. Sink your roots down into this truth!

Riz Hatton shares the latest news on the Dental + DSO industry.

What should you name your online course?  That's the question I received on LinkedIn this week. I thought it would be a great question to answer on the show, but the answer might surprise you. Stay tuned to discover what to consider before naming your online course, product, or even lead magnet. Let's dive into this week's show. Clever confuses.  Everyone wants a clever name for their course.  They want to stand out.  But it is the #1 reason people tune out and stop paying attention.  Here's why:  It takes too much concentration and brain power to figure out what the heck you are trying to say.  People are distracted, they are busy and if you force them to not only stop what they are doing but then try to figure out what you want from them - they will move on.   Let's look at it from a caveman's point of view. Cavemen were programmed to do two things - hunt and survive.  As evolved as we are, our brain still has one big priority - to keep us alive.  The rest is gravy. The prefrontal cortex of your brain makes snap decisions on whether or not something is worth paying attention to and whether or not it will keep you alive.   It will then decide if it needs to involve the amygdala in the decision, which controls your emotions.   So what does that have to do with naming your course?  People you want to work with have a problem.  They are only looking to solve that problem on a very basic level.  If you make it complicated - read clever - for them to understand how you can help them with that problem, they will just move on.  But if you can grab their attention with something that says hey I know you want this - and then engage their emotions with I bet it will make you feel like this to have that thing taken care of, then and only then will you engage them to continue on the journey with you. Keep it clear.  The problem, where they want to be, how they get there. Example #1: The Myrna Method - first this says all we need to know about this person's ego and absolutely nothing about what this course can do for someone.  If we dive deeper into the copy (see the video for screenshots) we can see it says this: “I help people live their lives at their leanest and healthiest weight through my dietary meal formulas that regulate the appetite and metabolism.”  That's a mouthful.  Do you even understand half of that?  How long did it take you to read through it?  This person is likely struggling with sales because nobody knows  What she does and How it can help them Here's a free rewrite for Myrna (who I don't know except that she is hiring someone on Upwork - yep my stalking has no bounds)  Get Back Into That Sexy Red Dress In 90 Days  (clear specific, you know who she is talking to and it's an end result).  Instead of gasping for breath as you climb the stairs, outrun co-workers half your age and have them whisper about how great you look in the breakroom. Example #2: Special Advanced LinkedIn Training.  Why is it special?  What makes it advanced?  Why do I want to come?  How about this instead - Magnetize Your LinkedIn Profile To Attract Paying Clients 7 Days Or Less #2: Focus less on the name and more on the problem you solve. People don't buy products, they buy solutions.   Example #1: Let's look at a donut for example.  People don't buy donuts because they need a donut.  Let's face it, most of us don't “NEED” a donut.  But the sugar rush and the dopamine hit we get from the donut will keep us heading to our favorite shop every single time.  This is why it's so hard to resist donuts when we are trying to lose weight.  Many of us will do anything to feel better about ourselves, our lives, the problems we can't see to solve - and food like donuts make us feel better if only for a few minutes.  When you use a phrase like “they will make your mouth water in anticipation of the next bite” on their site - who is with me? I'm driving to the donut shop. Not to mention the use of color, smell, and sound that they use once you get there to reel you into buying more donuts, coffee, and probably just one for the road.   Example #2: Isagenix Sign Up To Be A Rep (I had to hunt that part out, it took me a good two minutes to try and figure out what this person does) Quality of Life Assurance Because you deserve to truly live before you die Ok, now that's depressing.  Who wants to be depressed when they are solving a problem?  Uh, no one.  I have the quality of life already - but maybe I want it to be a little better.  But it's not so detrimental that I'm worried about dying. No one wants to feel worse, they want to feel better.  If I came across this page I would run, run for the hills to somewhere happier. Instead - how about this: Establish security, create impact and build a bright future with Isagenix.   Specificity matters.  People want a solution that is catered to them. The internet is crowded.  If you aren't seeing results, it's probably because your course title, lead magnet, etc. are too general.  Get specific until it hurts and scares the beejesus out of you.   Example #1: 7 Strategies To Immediately Calm Angry Veterinary Clients  Problem? Patients at the vet office are mad. What's the solution?  7 strategies that they can use diffuse anger in the office. How long will it take? Immediate results. Example #2: 5 Days to Shift Your Career Into High Gear Challenge What is it? A challenge Who is it for? People wanting to uplevel their career? How long will it take? 5 days What are the results? I will get the tools to shift my career in a better direction.   Recap: Clever confuses. Focus on the problem, not the solution. Specificity matters.

Every business owner may wonder what differentiates a normal business from an extraordinary business. The answer: extraordinary business owners aim for the extraordinary and think big. Of course, every business growth is great, even when it happens in slow, linear increments. But why grow linear when you can grow exponentially? In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, Aaron Bare, strategic facilitator and bestselling author, shares his tips on creating an exponential and purposeful business. He discusses the power of flow and exponential habits to serve your business, purpose, wealth, and life. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Always seek to innovate and stand out. Be present in the moment. Unlearn unhealthy programs to create a better future. Find your massive transformative purpose. Create a sustainable model. [11:47] Getting Into Your Flow Most people don't grow at the rate they want because they equate success to fame. If you want to become exponential, don't try to fit in. In doing so, you must be prepared to be misunderstood for a long time. Flow is the ability to keep up with what's going on. You need to do deep work. Understand how the world works, and then innovate persistently. [18:43] How to Become Exponential If you find yourself glued to a screen, you'll notice it eats away at your mental health. Practice JOMO or the “Joy Of Missing Out”. Learn to say no and turn off social media for long periods. Be mindful and present in the moment. Unlearn programs, such as mindsets and beliefs, that do not serve you, and be intentional about creating the future you want. Thinking big takes less energy than thinking small. [36:33] Finding Your Massive Transformative Purpose So many problems in the world need solving. There are opportunities for exponential leaders to create solutions with the right tool set. Finding your purpose erases all the uncertainty and gives you a clear direction. [] Establish a Sustainable Model Create something repeatable, scalable, and sustainable by focusing on that statement everyone can relate to. Establish a business model that'll solve the pain points of your customers. Purpose is essential to exponentiality. Communicate your vision to others, and they will provide clarity. And surely, those people will pivot with you.

This week's challenge was to craft an elemental build using no Fire or Cold. It became a musical theme as Joseph offers a "Rock & Roll" Earth Genasi Druid and Anthony counters with an "Imagine Dragons" guardian that brings both the Lightning and the Thunder. Everyone's got a unique idea and cool plan for optimizing a tabletop RPG character build. But what if your parameters were a bit askew? Or what if you wanted to semi-optimize, but flavor it around a specific roleplay concept? Well friends, look no further! We give you "Twisted Builds"! What are Twisted Builds, you ask? We set up 10 simple rules to follow. Listen in on any Twisted Builds episode and get some interesting ideas for new characters down the road. Or, write in and tell us how we did it all wrong! The rules are simple. Establish a Theme. Declare a Concept. Impose a Twist. All characters are level 10 using Point-Buy. All races and classes are acceptable without explanation. All Tasha's Optional Rules can be used. No Homebrew unless it's semi-official on DnDBeyond. Multiclassing is allowed but must follow requirements for Ability Scores. No magic items unless the class somehow grants them. Any mundane items allowed. All Subclasses can only ever be used up to a total of 10 levels. We want to showcase different builds. Established setting will be within the world we've been creating in other Workshops. We'll continue adding things to the world in future episodes! These builds are purely for fun and quirky concepts. They may be somewhat optimized, but no guarantees. That's it! Subscribe, leave a review, and tell all your friends! We'd also love to hear what you think about the show.

Old Testament: 1 Kings 19–20 1 Kings 19–20 (Listen) Elijah Flees Jezebel 19 Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. 2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So may the gods do to me and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by this time tomorrow.” 3 Then he was afraid, and he arose and ran for his life and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there. 4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he asked that he might die, saying, “It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers.” 5 And he lay down and slept under a broom tree. And behold, an angel touched him and said to him, “Arise and eat.” 6 And he looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on hot stones and a jar of water. And he ate and drank and lay down again. 7 And the angel of the LORD came again a second time and touched him and said, “Arise and eat, for the journey is too great for you.” 8 And he arose and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb, the mount of God. The Lord Speaks to Elijah 9 There he came to a cave and lodged in it. And behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 10 He said, “I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of hosts. For the people of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword, and I, even I only, am left, and they seek my life, to take it away.” 11 And he said, “Go out and stand on the mount before the LORD.” And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. 12 And after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper.1 13 And when Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And behold, there came a voice to him and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 14 He said, “I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of hosts. For the people of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword, and I, even I only, am left, and they seek my life, to take it away.” 15 And the LORD said to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus. And when you arrive, you shall anoint Hazael to be king over Syria. 16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi you shall anoint to be king over Israel, and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah you shall anoint to be prophet in your place. 17 And the one who escapes from the sword of Hazael shall Jehu put to death, and the one who escapes from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha put to death. 18 Yet I will leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.” The Call of Elisha 19 So he departed from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen in front of him, and he was with the twelfth. Elijah passed by him and cast his cloak upon him. 20 And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said, “Let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” And he said to him, “Go back again, for what have I done to you?” 21 And he returned from following him and took the yoke of oxen and sacrificed them and boiled their flesh with the yokes of the oxen and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he arose and went after Elijah and assisted him. Ahab's Wars with Syria 20 Ben-hadad the king of Syria gathered all his army together. Thirty-two kings were with him, and horses and chariots. And he went up and closed in on Samaria and fought against it. 2 And he sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel and said to him, “Thus says Ben-hadad: 3 ‘Your silver and your gold are mine; your best wives and children also are mine.'” 4 And the king of Israel answered, “As you say, my lord, O king, I am yours, and all that I have.” 5 The messengers came again and said, “Thus says Ben-hadad: ‘I sent to you, saying, “Deliver to me your silver and your gold, your wives and your children.” 6 Nevertheless I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house and the houses of your servants and lay hands on whatever pleases you and take it away.'” 7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land and said, “Mark, now, and see how this man is seeking trouble, for he sent to me for my wives and my children, and for my silver and my gold, and I did not refuse him.” 8 And all the elders and all the people said to him, “Do not listen or consent.” 9 So he said to the messengers of Ben-hadad, “Tell my lord the king, ‘All that you first demanded of your servant I will do, but this thing I cannot do.'” And the messengers departed and brought him word again. 10 Ben-hadad sent to him and said, “The gods do so to me and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people who follow me.” 11 And the king of Israel answered, “Tell him, ‘Let not him who straps on his armor boast himself as he who takes it off.'” 12 When Ben-hadad heard this message as he was drinking with the kings in the booths, he said to his men, “Take your positions.” And they took their positions against the city. Ahab Defeats Ben-hadad 13 And behold, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel and said, “Thus says the LORD, Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will give it into your hand this day, and you shall know that I am the LORD.” 14 And Ahab said, “By whom?” He said, “Thus says the LORD, By the servants of the governors of the districts.” Then he said, “Who shall begin the battle?” He answered, “You.” 15 Then he mustered the servants of the governors of the districts, and they were 232. And after them he mustered all the people of Israel, seven thousand. 16 And they went out at noon, while Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the booths, he and the thirty-two kings who helped him. 17 The servants of the governors of the districts went out first. And Ben-hadad sent out scouts, and they reported to him, “Men are coming out from Samaria.” 18 He said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive. Or if they have come out for war, take them alive.” 19 So these went out of the city, the servants of the governors of the districts and the army that followed them. 20 And each struck down his man. The Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them, but Ben-hadad king of Syria escaped on a horse with horsemen. 21 And the king of Israel went out and struck the horses and chariots, and struck the Syrians with a great blow. 22 Then the prophet came near to the king of Israel and said to him, “Come, strengthen yourself, and consider well what you have to do, for in the spring the king of Syria will come up against you.” 23 And the servants of the king of Syria said to him, “Their gods are gods of the hills, and so they were stronger than we. But let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. 24 And do this: remove the kings, each from his post, and put commanders in their places, 25 and muster an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot. Then we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.” And he listened to their voice and did so. Ahab Defeats Ben-hadad Again 26 In the spring, Ben-hadad mustered the Syrians and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel. 27 And the people of Israel were mustered and were provisioned and went against them. The people of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of goats, but the Syrians filled the country. 28 And a man of God came near and said to the king of Israel, “Thus says the LORD, ‘Because the Syrians have said, “The LORD is a god of the hills but he is not a god of the valleys,” therefore I will give all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD.'” 29 And they encamped opposite one another seven days. Then on the seventh day the battle was joined. And the people of Israel struck down of the Syrians 100,000 foot soldiers in one day. 30 And the rest fled into the city of Aphek, and the wall fell upon 27,000 men who were left. Ben-hadad also fled and entered an inner chamber in the city. 31 And his servants said to him, “Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Let us put sackcloth around our waists and ropes on our heads and go out to the king of Israel. Perhaps he will spare your life.” 32 So they tied sackcloth around their waists and put ropes on their heads and went to the king of Israel and said, “Your servant Ben-hadad says, ‘Please, let me live.'” And he said, “Does he still live? He is my brother.” 33 Now the men were watching for a sign, and they quickly took it up from him and said, “Yes, your brother Ben-hadad.” Then he said, “Go and bring him.” Then Ben-hadad came out to him, and he caused him to come up into the chariot. 34 And Ben-hadad said to him, “The cities that my father took from your father I will restore, and you may establish bazaars for yourself in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria.” And Ahab said, “I will let you go on these terms.” So he made a covenant with him and let him go. A Prophet Condemns Ben-hadad's Release 35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his fellow at the command of the LORD, “Strike me, please.” But the man refused to strike him. 36 Then he said to him, “Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as you have gone from me, a lion shall strike you down.” And as soon as he had departed from him, a lion met him and struck him down. 37 Then he found another man and said, “Strike me, please.” And the man struck him—struck him and wounded him. 38 So the prophet departed and waited for the king by the way, disguising himself with a bandage over his eyes. 39 And as the king passed, he cried to the king and said, “Your servant went out into the midst of the battle, and behold, a soldier turned and brought a man to me and said, ‘Guard this man; if by any means he is missing, your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent2 of silver.' 40 And as your servant was busy here and there, he was gone.” The king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgment be; you yourself have decided it.” 41 Then he hurried to take the bandage away from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets. 42 And he said to him, “Thus says the LORD, ‘Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction,3 therefore your life shall be for his life, and your people for his people.'” 43 And the king of Israel went to his house vexed and sullen and came to Samaria. Footnotes [1] 19:12 Or a sound, a thin silence [2] 20:39 A talent was about 75 pounds or 34 kilograms [3] 20:42 That is, set apart (devoted) as an offering to the Lord (for destruction) (ESV) Psalm: Psalm 135 Psalm 135 (Listen) Your Name, O Lord, Endures Forever 135   Praise the LORD!  Praise the name of the LORD,    give praise, O servants of the LORD,2   who stand in the house of the LORD,    in the courts of the house of our God!3   Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good;    sing to his name, for it is pleasant!14   For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself,    Israel as his own possession. 5   For I know that the LORD is great,    and that our Lord is above all gods.6   Whatever the LORD pleases, he does,    in heaven and on earth,    in the seas and all deeps.7   He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth,    who makes lightnings for the rain    and brings forth the wind from his storehouses. 8   He it was who struck down the firstborn of Egypt,    both of man and of beast;9   who in your midst, O Egypt,    sent signs and wonders    against Pharaoh and all his servants;10   who struck down many nations    and killed mighty kings,11   Sihon, king of the Amorites,    and Og, king of Bashan,    and all the kingdoms of Canaan,12   and gave their land as a heritage,    a heritage to his people Israel. 13   Your name, O LORD, endures forever,    your renown,2 O LORD, throughout all ages.14   For the LORD will vindicate his people    and have compassion on his servants. 15   The idols of the nations are silver and gold,    the work of human hands.16   They have mouths, but do not speak;    they have eyes, but do not see;17   they have ears, but do not hear,    nor is there any breath in their mouths.18   Those who make them become like them,    so do all who trust in them. 19   O house of Israel, bless the LORD!    O house of Aaron, bless the LORD!20   O house of Levi, bless the LORD!    You who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!21   Blessed be the LORD from Zion,    he who dwells in Jerusalem!  Praise the LORD! Footnotes [1] 135:3 Or for he is beautiful [2] 135:13 Or remembrance (ESV) New Testament: James 3–5 James 3–5 (Listen) Taming the Tongue 3 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. 2 For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body. 3 If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. 4 Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. 5 So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life,1 and set on fire by hell.2 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. 10 From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers,3 these things ought not to be so. 11 Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and salt water? 12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water. Wisdom from Above 13 Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15 This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. 18 And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. Warning Against Worldliness 4 What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions4 are at war within you?5 2 You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. 4 You adulterous people!6 Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5 Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us”? 6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. 11 Do not speak evil against one another, brothers.7 The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. 12 There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor? Boasting About Tomorrow 13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”—14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” 16 As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin. Warning to the Rich 5 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. 2 Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days. 4 Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. 5 You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous person. He does not resist you. Patience in Suffering 7 Be patient, therefore, brothers,8 until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. 8 You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. 9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door. 10 As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful. 12 But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation. The Prayer of Faith 13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.9 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. 18 Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit. 19 My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, 20 let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

Most Americans have revolted at the Biden Administration's proposed “Disinformation Governance Board,” which the Administration proposed to address what they call the greatest threat to America—domestic terrorism.  They define domestic terrorism to be “right-wing white supremacists,” and they then attempt to identify Donald Trump and his supporters to be such terrorists.  This was a tactic […] The post Comparing the Biden Administration to George Orwell's novel, 1984.  The Biden Administration's proposal to establish a Disinformation Governance Board is reminiscent of the “Thought Police” and the “Ministry of Truth” in the totalitarian government depicted in 1984.  appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Continuing in our Daily Leadership Series Challenge, this week we will cover 7 ways to Build Leaders. The principles in the next section can help build the levels of trust and respect from others…Many of this week's principles will help you gain the trust and respect from people around you. As the levels of trust and respect increase, your influence over others will grow. The trust and respect will result from the “Win/Win” relationships that you have already built by using the earlier principles.Establish solid trust before offering advice.Keep promises… even small ones.Be enthusiastic about the success of others.Recognize the potential in others and help them achieve it.Catch people doing things right.Praise the baby steps.Go out of your way for people.Leadership Principle #22 – Establish Solid Trust Before Offering Advice.“Trust men, and they will be true to you; treat them greatly and they will show themselves great.” – Ralph Waldo EmersonThe term “constructive criticism” is an oxymoron.Think about it… When was the last time someone gave you constructive criticism and you responded with the following?“Thank you so much for pointing out that mistake for me! If you hadn't said something, I would have just continued to screw that up. Thank you so much.”I know, I'm being a bit sarcastic, but it proves a point. Anytime we criticize someone, that person will always hold some resentment against us.Can we point out the mistakes of others without resentment? Yes, but we must have their solid trust, and they must know that our only concern is their welfare.EVERY RELATIONSHIP HAS VALUE.Picture your relationships with others as a check registry. Anytime you have said something positive to or done something positive for the person, add a deposit into the account.Anytime you have said something negative to or done something negative against that person, register a withdrawal.When we use the principles in the book, we build a positive trusting relationship with people, so we have a positive balance in this account. However, if we have violated these principles, then our relationship bank account may be way overdrawn.We'll probably need to make more deposits before trying to influence these people or change their behavior.Week #4: Developing Leaders Around You.Principle #22: Establish Solid Trust before Offering Advice.https://www.leadersinstitute.com/daily-leadership-tip-22-establish-solid-trust-before-offering-advice/

This week- A triple-class combo called the Bloody Artillerist and a Warlock Crossbowman with only a +2 CHA! Everyone's got a unique idea and cool plan for optimizing a tabletop RPG character build. But what if your parameters were a bit askew? Or what if you wanted to semi-optimize, but flavor it around a specific roleplay concept? Well friends, look no further! We give you "Twisted Builds"! What are Twisted Builds, you ask? We set up 10 simple rules to follow. Listen in on any Twisted Builds episode and get some interesting ideas for new characters down the road. Or, write in and tell us how we did it all wrong! The rules are simple. Establish a Theme. Declare a Concept. Impose a Twist. All characters are level 10 using Point-Buy. All races and classes are acceptable without explanation. All Tasha's Optional Rules can be used. No Homebrew unless it's semi-official on DnDBeyond. Multiclassing is allowed but must follow requirements for Ability Scores. No magic items unless the class somehow grants them. Any mundane items allowed. All Subclasses can only ever be used up to a total of 10 levels. We want to showcase different builds. Established setting will be within the world we've been creating in other Workshops. We'll continue adding things to the world in future episodes! These builds are purely for fun and quirky concepts. They may be somewhat optimized, but no guarantees. That's it! Subscribe, leave a review, and tell all your friends! We'd also love to hear what you think about the show.

If you are using you podcast and email strictly for selling your stuff, you are probably making a big mistake. There is a much stronger strategy. That's what I want to show you today. THE BRIDGE This episode is going to take me much longer to record today than usual. You probably wouldn't even notice if I hadn't brought it up. It won't take you longer to listen. There will just be a lot of edits today. My little buddy Gizmo is getting ready to cross the Rainbow Bridge. The vet says he has cancer. We're not sure how old he is. He came to us as a rescue from a hoarder. We're guessing 13 or 14. Giz has been a little lethargic lately. We thought it was just old age. Yorkies tend to get that way. Then, he lost weight. A lot of weight. He wasn't eating much at all and went from 10 pounds to 6. One vet said he had an infection in his mouth and really needed his teeth cleaned. However, we couldn't get them cleaned until the infection was gone and we did blood work to see if he could handle the procedure. The vet put him on antibiotics, and we waited a couple days. Things weren't clearing up. He sent us to another doctor. The second vet says Gizmo has a pretty good size mass in his mouth and she is pretty sure it is cancer. She can't biopsy it. Blood tests came back showing incredibly low liver levels. Now he is on pain meds and the antibiotics to help his mouth. But, it's only a matter of time. Daisy and Harlow know it too. We're just taking it a day at a time. CODY JOHNSON As I thought about Giz, I thought about my family and why I do this. Podcast Talent Coach is all about giving me the freedom and flexibility to spend time with my wife, and my daughter, and my son and our dogs. I can do this anywhere, even with a Yorkie sitting in my lap. In fact, I'm in Minneapolis this weekend with my son getting regular Yorkie updates from my wife. There is a song out right now by country star Cody Johnson. It is called "Til You Can't". It is a great, uptempo tune, but chokes me up everytime I hear it. The song says … So take that phone call from your mama And just talk away 'Cause you'll never know how bad you wanna 'Til you can't someday Don't wait on tomorrow Cause tomorrow may not show Say your sorrys, your I love yous 'Cause man, you never know If you got a chance, take it Take it while you got a chance If you got a dream, chase it 'Cause a dream won't chase you back If you're gonna love somebody, Hold 'em as long and as strong and as close as you can 'Til you can't. You can hear the whole song at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/cody. PUTTING OFF What are you putting off today that someday you'll wish you hadn't? Don't regret the things you didn't do. Do it today. Just strart. One thing a day. Rome wasn't built in a day. But, one day they got started. Make this your one day. If growing your podcast and business will help you on that journey, you need to join us for the "Land a Client in 90 Days" workshop. I will show you how to get a paying client in 90 days using podcasting. Get the details and register at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/workshop. CHET HOLMES As my son and I were making the drive to Minneapolis, I was listening the audiobook "The Ultimate Sales Machine" by Chet Holmes. In the book, Chet talks about the 3%. I thought Chet developed this study. But the more I researched it, the more I realized it has been around for decades. I couldn't determine who is actually responsible for discovering this concept. Many act like it is their brilliant research. Many attribute it to Chet and his book. But, I've found articles about it dating prior to the publishing of the book. The 3% rule refers to a 'buyer pyramid'. The pyramid is divided into 5 sections, each showing where a potential buyer is with regard to making the buying decision. At the very top of the pyramid in the smallest triangle, you'll see at any one time only 3% of your target market will be ready to buy right now. In the next level of the pyramid, 6% to 7% of people are open to considering such a purchase. That leaves 90% of the pyramid remaining. This area is divided into thirds. 30% of the market are not thinking about making a purchase at this time. Another 30% of the market don't 'believe' they are interested based on the info they currently have. The final 30% of people are definitely not interested. YOUR FOCUS When it comes to your podcast, where are you spending your time and placing your focus? I love using podcasting to drive a business and attract your ideal clients. However, you need to have a balance. If you are only selling your stuff, or inviting to your webinar or promoting your joint ventures and affiliates, you are missing 97% of your audience. Only three percent of your market is in buying mode right now. Even if you include the seven percent that could be convinced they need it now, you still miss 90% of your audience. Your podcast and your emails need to serve first. Use the conversations to build relationships. Once you offer value, you can give your listener the opportunity to go deeper with you. If they are not part of the 10% that are buying or could be talked into buying, at least they will have the benefit of the great content first. That's how your relationships are built. SELLING People in general love to buy. We love stuff. That's why malls exist. Our love of buying is why end caps and the candy at the point of purchase is so effective. On the other hand, people hate to be sold to. We feel like we are getting duped. When we get sold to, our guard is up. We feel like the seller has an alterior motive and they are trying to take advantage of us. When people aren't in the buying mode, they won't take your offer. You're wasting your time if you are only selling. However if you are building relationships first, you have still capitalized on the conversation even if they are not buying. When it becomes time to buy, you will have laid the foundation. You will be their solution. Marketing is about the opportunity to build relationships. Rather than trying to engage people when they have a need and are buying, engage them earlier in that lower 90% of the pyramid. Establish the relationship and develop rapport before they're ready to buy. ARE YOU READY? Are you ready to attract your next client with your podcast? Let me show you how. One of the challenges coaches face when using their podcast to attract their clients is a lack of a solid strategy. They have no process to build a relationship with the 90% of the audience who isn't looking to buy right now. So if all you're doing is selling on your podcast and not building rapport and relationships, or worse yet you have no client strategy at all, you're are wasting your time. With my show and my process, I want to attract podcasters who are building a business. Those who can envision big things for their podcast and their lives. Imagine being able to serve a passionate audience with your superpower, helping them overcome their struggles and reach their goals. I'm an entrepreneur at heart. Other entrepreneurs are my people. I get inspired by your passion and your goals. Therefore, I block out the rest so I can leave my impact on you and the world. You can do the same. And, I'd love to help you. If you want to use your podcast to help you grow and scale a coaching business, I want to help you make that a reality. I am holding the "Land a Client in 90 Days" workshop on Monday, June 20th.

Hello, and welcome to Beauty and the Biz where we talk about the business and marketing side of plastic surgery and what to watch out for with new associates. I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of Your Aesthetic Practice – What your patients, are saying as well as consultant to plastic surgeons, to get them more patients and more profits. Now, today's episode is called “What to Watch Out for with New Associates - with Michael Persky, MD”. When do you add an associate to your practice? Typically, it's when you have enough demand that you can't keep up so you bring someone on board who can pick up the slack. Other times, it's when you want to offer new procedures or you want to delegate certain procedures you don't care to do anymore. And then other times, it's when you are thinking about setting yourself up to have someone one else take over your practice so you can slow down or retire altogether. In this week's Beauty and the Biz Podcast, I talked about the options above with Michael Persky, MD, a cosmetic facial plastic surgeon in private practice in Encino, CA since 1985. Dr. Persky has experienced being the “new guy on the block” and joining a practice, then going out on his own, then adding an associate, then losing that associate and finding another one and then losing that one and now in search of another! It's never too early or too late to figure this out for yourself so listen in to Dr. Persky's pearls of wisdom. Visit Dr. Persky's website at: https://www.drpersky.com/   Enjoy!

SHOW NOTES: A few months ago, Dr. Glenn Vo had Dustin Johnson, Director of Engineering at SOTA Imaging, and Albert Kim, SOTA's VP of Sales & Marketing, on to talk all about recent dental questions.Back then, Albert and Dustin were new to the group. But, since, SOTA Imaging has emerged as a champion for our community. Albert has appeared on numerous episodes by now, gaining a reputation and becoming beloved by the Nifty Thrifty community.This week, Glenn was happy to have Albert on again for another episode of the Nifty Thrifty podcast. And while many of you may fondly recognize Albert's face, someone less familiar to the group joined him: Dr. Barry Bartuisak, you may have seen him speaking elsewhere. Barry is a renowned speaker and practicing dentist.Glenn was happy to have Barry on to talk about building trust with your patients as well as boosting case acceptance—something he believes every dentist could benefit from.To Barry, boosting your case acceptance is “all about relationships”—whether that's in the office or outside of it. Establish trust. From there, boosting case acceptance rates becomes easier than ever.Barry thinks many dentists struggle with case acceptance because of a lapse in education. When dentists come out of dental school, we're 100% trained to be dentists but—in most instances—we're 0% trained to be small business people.To Barry, what gets measured gets managed. That's why he tracks his case acceptance rates every day, working to make any pivots to increase his already incredible case acceptance rates.That said, Barry's role in the case presentation process is very minimal. He's mastered the art of getting patients to trust him, meaning they don't need to be “persuaded.”There's a reason Albert hopped onto this week's episode, and it has to do with the fact that a high-quality camera can do wonders for your case acceptance rates. That's why Barry and Albert's team over at SOTA Imaging have partnered up for this week's Nifty Deal.With the production of SOTA's proprietary cameras such as the Claris i310, one of the first USB intraoral cameras on the market, and the award-winning Claris i4D, SOTA has developed the technology—from optics to ergonomics—to provide dental practitioners with the most advanced intraoral camera to date: the Claris Intraoral Camera. Since its early days, the Claris camera has come a long way. Recently, they've decked out their product line even further by adding an all-new all-aluminum model: the Claris i5HD Intraoral Camera.If you aren't familiar with the Claris camera, it's a beaut with an adjustable focus that trumps its competition. There's nothing cheap or plastic about it, with industrial-level technology that'll last years and years to come.In fact, the Claris camera can get you down to 2mm away from the surface of whatever you're trying to take a picture of. And let's not forget about SOTA Imaging's fully-integrated Clio Digital X-Ray sensors: the Clio Prime and Clio Pedo sensors. These puppies are produced in a foundry where they have to produce silicon wafers—they're rare, with only so many in the world. And, to add a cherry on top, these sensors are upgraded versions of other high-end dental technology. With such sophisticated technology, it should be no surprise that both of these sensors are equipped with next-gen CMOS fiber optic technology with Csl Scintillators.Learn about:What's the national case acceptance average?Hint: it's about 35-40% (depending on who you ask).Which case acceptance rates can Barry boast?Hint: upward of 89-96%!And more!So, what're you waiting for? You can find Albert in the Nifty Thrifty Facebook group. Even better, Barry provided his private cell phone number as well as his email. You can reach out to him at 724-255-1115 or drtuse@gmail.com.  NIFTY DEAL: https://info.sotaimaging.com/niftythrifty ($2000 off Clio Prime/Pedo sensors)

We all live by rhythms. Some healthy. Some unhealthy. For most of us, we live day-by-day without even thinking about whether our rhythms are life-giving for our family. Setting new rhythms certainly takes some effort. But the long term memories and peace of mind are worth the work in the short term. In this episode, Josh and Christi talk about Decision #6: Establish Family Rhythms. They share examples of rhythms that have worked for their family, and encourage you to find what fits for yours.
