SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-16-261948Anatol Lieven discusses the reinforcement of Ukraine following NATO meetings, highlighting German drone supplies and the symbolic value of US Patriot systems. While Baltic states fear imminent Russian provocations, Lieven argues Russia's army is currently too "bogged down" in Ukraine to risk a direct war with NATO. (1)Anatol Lieven analyzes the potential premiership of Mr. Burnham as he navigates pressures within the Labour Party. The discussion covers challenges like electoral reform, the rise of the Reform Party, and scandals. Burnham may avoid an immediate election to protect Labour's majority while opposition support fluctuates. (2)Caleb Weiss explains the complex counterterrorism landscape in the Horn of Africa, where al-Shabaab and ISISoperate. He details how the semi-autonomous Puntland region is rejecting Mogadishu's authority. US policy faces significant hurdles as funding for African Union missions reaches a critical crossroads. (3)Caleb Weiss reports on the failure of the 2022–2023 clan militia offensive, which allowed al-Shabaab to recapture lost territory. President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud faces a legitimacy crisis and constitutional conflict. Meanwhile, the UAEand Turkey conduct non-transparent drone strikes against various extremist targets in the north. (4)Simon Constable reports on extreme European temperatures and their impact on energy, noting major spikes in EU natural gas prices. He tracks shifting costs for wheat, corn, and copper. Additionally, he notes how Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian fertilizer plants could further disrupt global agriculture. (5)Simon Constable presents a quiz on longevity, revealing that the average US life expectancy has reached 79 years. Hawaii boasts the highest expectancy, while West Virginia remains the lowest. Globally, Monaco, San Marino, and Hong Kong lead in longevity according to United Nations data. (6)Doug Messier and Rick Fisher discuss China's planned 2027 circumlunar mission as a precursor to a lunar landing before 2030. This "Moon Race 2.0" challenges American prestige. While NASA aims for the South Pole by 2028, China and Russia plan an international research station to extract lunar resources. (7)Doug Messier and Rick Fisher explore the lack of cooperation between the US and China, viewing the solar system as a ground for ideological competition. Establishing permanent lunar bases requires major engineering feats, including nuclear power plants and rovers. China views the moon as a stepping stone for Mars. (8)Alan Mikhail discusses his book Newcomers, focusing on Anthony Jansen, known as "the Turk." Mikhail uses historical records to debunk the 150-year-old hypothesis that Anthony was the son of a Dutch pirate who converted to Islam, instead tracing his origins back to 17th-century Spain. (9)Alan Mikhail details the background of Anthony's wife, Grietje, a German migrant who worked as a barmaid or sex worker in Amsterdam. He explains the "soul seller" system used by maritime companies to recruit laborers. The couple married in 1629 and eventually sailed for New Amsterdam. (10)Alan Mikhail describes how the couple settled in Manhattan as ambitious farmers but faced friction with neighbors who used "the Turk" as a xenophobic insult. Their contentious behavior led to their banishment to Gravesend, Long Island. Mikhail highlights the clash between Dutch property rights and indigenous use-rights. (11)Alan Mikhail describes the "half-freedom" status given to some enslaved Africans, a system that cruelly ensured generational slavery. He also details the brutal violence of "Kieft's War" against Native Americans. Despite these conflicts and their exile, Anthony and Grietje prospered on their Long Island farm. (12)Veronique de Rugy warns that Social Security faces a 2032 deadline when trust fund assets will be depleted. Without reform, benefits could be cut by 22%. She advocates for means-testing to preserve benefits for those who truly need them, criticizing the current political silence on the issue. (13)Mary Anastasia O'Grady marks the fifth anniversary of Cuba's July 11 protests, noting the regime's ongoing brutal repression and imprisonment of political dissidents. She criticizes the United Nations for supporting the Cuban regime's narrative against US sanctions while ignoring the human rights atrocities on the island. (14)Thomas Savidge explains how the 2020–2021 pandemic strained state unemployment insurance systems. While 31 states were solvent before the crisis, many struggled with improper payments and fraud due to relaxed federal eligibility requirements. Some states fared better by taking the initiative to end bonus programs early. (15)Thomas Savidge proposes "Universal Savings Accounts" (USA) to replace complex government-managed savings vehicles. These accounts would grant individuals full ownership of their funds for unemployment or retirement. This reform aims to reduce fraud and address the long-term fiscal instability associated with the national "debt bomb." (16)Tail numbers (1)–(16), all standing corrections applied.48

There are six elementary principles that form the foundation of our faith, called the Doctrine of Christ, upon which every believer is meant to build their life.In Episode 9 of "Born Again, What Now?", Duane Sheriff reveals why so many believers struggle to grow spiritually. Although they have genuinely been born again, many have never been grounded in the foundational truths that produce a strong, stable faith. Hebrews 5 and 6 show that spiritual maturity is not automatic. Believers either grow forward or drift backward, depending on whether they continue in God's Word and learn to discern good from evil.The first of these foundational doctrines is repentance from dead works. Dead works include both legalistic efforts to earn God's favor and sinful behaviors that contradict our new identity in Christ. True repentance is not about trying to earn God's forgiveness but about renewing our minds, turning from dead works, and living in agreement with who we already are in Christ. Establishing these foundational truths enables believers to grow from spiritual infancy to maturity and remain steadfast in their faith.

They touch on the following: Establishing ground rules of communication in your office Stop assuming everyone knows how to communicate How to bring up that you want to have better communication practice-wide And more Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera. And today we are bringing you something so special. I am so excited because this is one of our most popular episodes from the archives. Whether you're hearing this for the first time or catching it again, I am so excited because it's jam packed with a ton of takeaways that you can start using right now in your practice. We have released thousands, literally thousands of episodes. And I wanted to start bringing a few of these amazing episodes back for you. So I hope you enjoy. And as always, thanks for listening and I'll catch you next time.   on the Dental A Team podcast.   speaker-0 (00:32) And you guys, I have a really, really fantastic consultant on the podcast with me today. If you don't know her, you should get to know her. Her name's Brittany. ⁓ Britt has joined our team. Gosh, it's almost been a year rolling in on our year, and Britt is just a breath of fresh air on our team. She is somebody that inspires me, ⁓ pushes me to be a better consultant as well. So I'm super jazzed to bring Britt back on the show. Britt, how are you today?   speaker-1 (00:56) I'm good. Thanks for the introduction, Kiera. Always fun to hear what you have to say 'cause it's always delightful.   speaker-0 (01:02) I know. It's probably the best part of the whole podcast, actually. Like I just get a rave on our team on the podcast, which is something I definitely love. So Britt, you are a a unicorn of a human. It's kind of funny, guys. The way we interview consultants is pretty an in-depth process. Like we have an initial call, then you we encourage them to go through an online course, then we do a mock coaching call where they have to actually coach the consultants as if we were a team. And then typically we have them fly out and go to a practice with me to see if traveling's like in their DNA.   Because I've had a lot of people say I can travel and it just is not their thing. Like there are people who can travel and then there are people who like really can travel. And so Britt, you kinda like skated right through that. We interviewed you and it was just this like, yep, we're gonna hire her. And lo and behold, here you are a year later. It just I'm shocked at how great it worked out because you're just a dream and I love it. It worked out so well.   speaker-1 (01:54) But lo and lo and behold, I could actually travel.   speaker-0 (01:58) Well what I I did ask you the question of how many bags do you take when you travel? Because you can tell if somebody's a traveler or not a traveler. But yeah, you are a solid traveler. You and I we trend   speaker-1 (02:11) I've been stuck in a foreign country, yes. So I feel like that's a pretty good qualify qualifier.   speaker-0 (02:17) ⁓ but no guys, if you have not met Britt, Britt is one of the traveling consultants and offices genuinely love Britt. when I when she goes to offices, I love getting emails or text messages from those offices saying that Britt just knocked it out of the park. So today I'm excited, Britt. You are ⁓ really fantastic on this and you and I actually just consulted a practice together. I I need to stop saying we don't say each other that often because you and I actually do run into each other quite a bit on the road. ⁓   we do. It's pretty fantastic. So we were just at a practice together a couple of weeks ago and I thought this was such a cool thing that you did with this practice. So ⁓ just to give a little bit of a background, we were with a practice and communication was just a struggle, which I'm not going to lie, every single office. But you tell me if it's on your end, but every practice before we go visit them as the Dental A Team, we send out an anonymous survey. well it's actually an   Anonymous. It's not anonymous. We know who you are. So they it's it's branded. We know your name. ⁓ but it's a survey sent out to all the team members to find out what are their issues in the practice, things that they love about the practice. And I will tell you, without like it's happened a hundred percent of the time, at least one person says communication on every single office. So I know this is a big deal. Britt, how about for you? I absolutely   speaker-1 (03:37) Every time. Mm-hmm. And it comes up often. And I communication is a constant effort, which is why it comes up often, because it's so important.   speaker-0 (03:47) For sure. I mean, if you think about it, communication is what we do all day long, whether it's with our patients, whether it's with each other, whether it's with our spouses or our families, like communication is super important. I just think it's always interesting when people say communication, I feel like it's this really broad umbrella for problems. And I'm like, no, no, no. Like let's get to the nitty gritty. Is it communication on? Cause there's great communication, but I think it's just such a large, vast net.   that we cast that it's hard sometimes to pinpoint like what is the communication because I'll have practices that will over communicate. Everybody knows this, this, and this, and they still deal with communication. And so with this practice, ⁓ I think it was just a lot of missed expectations, which I found is typically the reason communication comes up. People are expecting or assuming other people will do something. And then when that's missed, that's when people get frustrated. And so it tends to fall back under communication. But Britt,   Take it away, you did a full team training with this office. It was kind of a retreat style, which I don't know what you've been doing right in this world. You're getting a lot of those retreat styles.   speaker-1 (04:48) I don't know either, but I'm glad it's working.   speaker-0 (04:51) So typically our style is like we go in, we'll consult. We're doing like hands on training with an office and then we usually do like a two hour meeting. But Britt's been getting a few offices that are wanting like these three to four hour meetings, which honestly as a consultant, that's like when you guys see your schedule and you just have like crown prep after crown prep after not crown prep, crown seat after seat after seat, where you're like, that's gonna be busy. That's like a four hour meeting for a consultant. I would equate that to like, Whoo, all right, it's gonna be busy.   But kind of walk us through with this practice and other practices. It just wasn't this one particularly, but kind of walk us through what you did to help enhance this communication and really bring some breakthroughs to this practice.   speaker-1 (05:30) Yeah, for sure. I think you you hit one really key point, which is expectations when it comes to communication. And I think the other thing that goes hand in hand with that when expectations aren't being met through our communication is then we start to lose trust with our team members. And we start to lose trust in communication. And so people really just start to shut down. And it's hard to kind of get that motor going again because everybody goes into a protective mode.   And so we're all just kind of walking on eggshells. We're nervous to have conversations that need to be had. And then it just starts to kind of spiral, unfortunately, into a place where we don't know how to get out of it. And so with this office, I was realizing that that's kind of where we were. We had hit the point where we've kind of lost our trust. We talked about some tools on how to have uncomfortable or crucial conversations with team members.   But they were just still really struggling to see like how does that actually go into play because it's kind of like I've been there, I've tried it and I got burned. So   speaker-0 (06:33) Well, 'cause like you said something that I thought was I've never thought about this. Because you said people lose trust and then we spiral downward. And I was thinking like, and what's bummer and also awesome is the only solution to it is communication. So the thing you've lost trust in is the key to your success and freedom and happiness. But if you lose trust in that, there's really nowhere else to go. Because if you're not communicating, things won't get better. So   I had never thought about like the thing that caused the problem is the thing that's going to get you out of the problem as well. But you have to really regain each other's trust. And you're right, it's kind of like, but how? I logically understand it. I conceptually can see this, but how is this really gonna work? And I thought you did a brilliant job of breaking down this how.   speaker-1 (07:20) Yeah. And so it comes down to like yes, at some point someone's gotta put themselves out there and be vulnerable to try it. And it can be really hard when we know there's old habits in play. So we kind of went back to the basics of communication to where we we created and it was with the team, we had their input. All right, what are our ground rules gonna be for communication? Kind of like our rules of engagement.   What are the things that all of us right here, right now today are gonna agree to so that we can feel more comfortable to start engaging conversations with each other that need to happen. And so we created it, we typed it out, everybody signed it. So we all agreed that we're gonna comply with those rules. And it's basic things that just needed to kind of be said and be put out there so that we know we're all on the same page, which are things like we're gonna give each other.   like the benefit of the doubt and give each other the benefit of the doubt, understanding that we're all coming with the best of intentions, right? We all care about this team, we all care about this practice, this business. And so we are ultimately having these conversations to solve things and to work together and to to make improvements. ⁓ some of the other rules we had in place are ⁓ we go talk to the person who can help us solve the problem.   Right. So a lot of times we when we start to lose trust, we'll go and talk about something with our our buddy or our friend that we trust. And at that point we're just gossiping and we're not actually having a conversation with someone who can actually help to solve the problem. So we're actually just feeding into the problem instead of solving anything. ⁓ some of the other rules we had are we speak respectfully, ⁓ which means in volume and tone. ⁓ so we control our volume, we control our tones so that our conversations are productive.   ⁓ we listen to each other, right? So we listen to what the other person has to say and we don't interrupt them. We hear them out. we also put into place, I think, if it gets too heated, like someone can call time out and we can step away for a minute, but we're gonna come back to that conversation that day to solve it, right? And we come together, whatever conversation we're having, we come come to solve it. ⁓ some other rules when someone comes to us with ⁓ a topic or something they want to discuss.   we always say thank you, right? Thank you for coming to me. Thank you for being willing to have this conversation, which also just helps to set the tone. So any team that's kind of struggling can come up with some of their own kind of rules of engagement, the the code of communication that we're gonna stick to and agree to. ⁓ so then we know those are the ground rules and I can be more comfortable, even if I've been burned in the past, to give my team members an opportunity to change and to start to have those conversations.   speaker-0 (10:12) I think it's really brilliant how you did this because hearing this, I wasn't actually there when you did this meeting.   But I know the team. And so what's cool is I can hear rules from different people on that team because sometimes I might not think it's super important to actually listen to somebody. Now you guys might laugh and be like, Kiera, whatever. And I'm like, I'm actually super intuitive 90% of the time and I can pick up on things very quickly. ⁓ and it's just come from years and years of training. But for Brittany, she might want me to actually like that's something super important because she never feels like I listened to her.   And so for all the team members to be able to put their rules into play in a safe place where we're just creating rules of communication with each other versus it being one on one. So it's the entire team working together, building it together. And I would say these are for teams like I think this is a really important like thing to do, no matter what size your practice is, no longer how long you've been in practice. As you were saying it, but it made me think of my family. Like you go to some people's homes and they have like our home rules.   Like we love each other. We have each other's back. And my family didn't technically have something like that. But I knew my mom always said, our home is a place where it's a safe place to be. Like so we wouldn't make fun of each other. We wouldn't yell at each other. Like it was a place like you can get made fun of all day long at school, but you know when you walk through those doors to my parents' house, it is a safe place that all of us are safe to be in. And I just thought like that's pretty much what you did with this practice is you created a spot and ironically, just knowing those things.   can actually fix a lot of the problems because now it's like, okay, great. We all know the rules of the game. ⁓ ironically, Tiffany gave me this really cool calendar and it has a quote. So every day I flip it. And today's quote it says, you have to learn the rules of the game and then you have to play better than anyone else. And I think with this, like, learn the rules of the game. Learn what and how to communicate. And then I really do love that this is play better than anyone else. So listen   better than anyone else does because what's going to happen is I'm not trying to elevate myself above you. I'm really going to listen to Britt and I'm going to listen to understand. I'm not going to listen to respond. Like let me hear what she's saying and then let me like also not come with heated heated emotions on this. Let me come to solve it. Let me come to to really have that. So I think it's important for practices like when you have this, I would say this is like core values two point   Because it's just helpful. We all assume that everyone knows how to communicate with each other, but they don't. We all come from different backgrounds, different lifestyles, different ways to communicate. In my family, it was always one of respect. And I you better believe if we burped at the table, we were doing twenty five push ups. Like I'm not kidding, like it was kind of a joke, but it was just it wasn't this like strict household, but it was one of very high respect. And so I just assume everybody does that. Like of course nobody would burp at the table, like you're gonna have to do push ups. Like obviously. But not   Obviously, people don't grow up the same way. So I thought it was really brilliant, Britt, that you did that. And I've heard from this practice that they've said that they do feel safer communicating with each other and we're rebuilding that trust. And I also think, if nothing else, sometimes I think our dental practices can be little like petri dishes of growth. Like they can teach us how to be different types of humans out in the world with our families, with our communities.   And in the practice, sometimes it's almost safer than even practicing on family members. So I thought you did a great job. Britt if if you were were a practice listening to this, like how would you even go about this? Because it's kind of an awkward thing to say, like, hey, I feel our communication's terrible in our practice and I wanna do this, but nobody else in the practice might think our communication's bad. So like how do you even go about like it's a super awkward conversation that needs to be had. So how do you even like broach this in a practice?   speaker-1 (14:02) Yeah. And I think it can even be approached from maybe it's not like that we've got a problem we've got to fix, maybe in this situation. Maybe it's like, hey, we want to create an environment where our team members felt comfortable being able to communicate and have conversations with each other. Right. So we want to work together and get everybody's input to kind of set some ground rules and help to give each other some guidance on how we can most successfully communicate with each other. And it might even be people who communicate well. Sometimes it's even just giving each other feedback of like, hey.   Pick your timing right, right? In the middle of the day when am running like crazy between room room from room to room, like probably not the best time to approach me about a conversation. I'm probably not going to give you my best response. So finding a time that works or even letting me know, hey, I need to have a conversation. Let's find a time to have it. Even working through just kind of some of those like tips for each other can be really helpful for a team. And it's amazing with teams, once you create the opportunity for them to give some input.   the things that start to come up. And there's usually even in a well functioning team, there's still usually feedback that a team member would love to give, but they haven't maybe had the right opportunity. And so by just creating the space for it, you'll be surprised at the input you get from your team members.   speaker-0 (15:18) For sure. As you said that I was like, all right, next traction meeting. Dental A Team's gonna write up our communication rules. Because as you said that, I was thinking, like, shoot, we've got a great team. We all communicate, in my opinion, really well. I feel like there's very little drama within our company because I just refuse to tolerate drama and our team knows like we will go toe to toe at any moment. And it is not a bad thing. Like, bring it out, hash it out. But for as you said that, I thought   There might be some team members on our team that aren't as outspoken, that maybe don't feel as comfortable and maybe they would have some input of how we can communicate better as a company and as an organization. And so I think even for those offices, like you said, that are high achieving, they do well, I think sometimes it's worth it to bring up and then make it very simple. I thought you did a good job, Britt, having it very simple. And for me, I'm thinking, hey, this is great, because this is great onboarding for people when they come onto our practice. Like this is how we communicate.   This is how we operate when we have issues and concerns because I think if we don't realize every practice has issues, every practice has an opportunity to grow and every practice is going to have miscommunication. Period. If you're a practice, you will have those issues and concerns. It's just do you have a plan in play of how we solve those? Or do you wait reactively and hope and pray that they sort it out or the wind shifts and changes and they'll come back happier tomorrow? But guess what? Those things sit and they boil and boil and boil until they'll explode.   And that's what we don't want to have. We want to be proactive versus reactive, especially right now when I think that there's more stress on practices than there ever have been before.   speaker-1 (16:54) Yep. And for practices, I think especially right now where we've had, you know, a shift, like there's been a lot of turnover in offices. It's just naturally happened. for offices that are really trying to one, either keep their culture or two, build a culture, this is one of those soft skills and those soft things that help you build your culture. It's a clear expectation that you guys stick to and that is expected of the team and that builds your culture.   speaker-0 (17:20) And I think it also I was thinking because I'm like, I'm sure there's some skeptics listening that think, okay, so what happens if they don't do it? And I'm like, you just got a freaking grading rubric of like, hey, this is what we've committed to. You signed your name on this dot. So you tell me what you think the solution to this problem should be. Like, I don't have to sit here and make it up. It's like, Britt, you committed to doing this. This is what your actions were. You have a very awesome opportunity to give me a good game plan of how you're gonna fix this moving forward.   And then if Britt chooses not to, guess what? This might not be her dream practice. But I think it it becomes a way easier way to hold a team member accountable and give them ownership because they've signed off on it. They created it. And now if they're choosing not to follow through, that's on them. They built this. You didn't build it. Your job is just to ensure everybody follows along with it.   speaker-1 (18:09) Mm-hmm. And then you can come up with a plan on on how to fix it, how to change it and how to grow it. Cause a lot of so often these things just like everybody has some unwritten rules and everybody grew up differently, right? Our skill levels skill levels are gonna be different when it comes to communication. And some people just really don't know how to make the change. So if you've got someone that's still tr struggling, then be able being able to sit and coach with them to really like   get to know them a little better, see what's making them tick, and give them some specific ways to help them improve.   speaker-0 (18:43) Absolutely. So I would say action item from here would be set up a meeting for like you heard, we have a full team traction meeting every single quarter. And so things like this that will take some building time. I mean, last time we did a team activity of take however many pieces of toilet paper you think you'd need for the meeting. Britt was the winner of that. Britt, how many squares did you take? Do you remember?   speaker-1 (19:07) I don't remember. It was a lot. Was it like I wanna say it was like twenty, but I feel like it was more than that.   speaker-0 (19:13) It   was so many. And what the rule of the game was was however many squares you took, you had to say something positive about yourself. So if Britt had over twenty, she had to write down twenty awesome things about herself and share. And Britt was like, Look, I thought we really had to use this for today. This is how much I needed. So then we turned it into a fun game that everybody only could use that many squares for the rest of the meeting. So you better you better pray you're not having to use much of the restroom time if you were Kiera and only chose I think like four squares. Honestly.   speaker-1 (19:41) See people, honestly.   speaker-0 (19:43) ⁓   but thinking, I know we do that every quarter. So this could possibly be the activity that we do as a team of like, let's write the rules of communication. Because I've heard and I think about relationships, like, don't wait until your relationship is in danger to to f to solve and proactively prevent problems. Like do it now while your relationship's great. Same thing with your practice. So whether you're on the side that's struggling on communication or you're on the side that you feel you've got a great culture that's humming along, either side of the spectrum, set a date.   right up the rules of communication, it really didn't take long. I would say probably plan about an hour of it. Have people think of like what what kind of rules of communication would we want here? Like if we had very productive communication, like for me, it's like no drama central. If you've got an issue, go to the person, talk about it, and solve it and move on. Like there is no blame, there is no judgment, but that's my my approach to it. That's how I tend to lead. But I think it's more than just leading, it's actually having it written. So I'd say, ⁓ all of you set a meeting, ⁓   write these rules of communication where everybody builds the rules of communication. Britt, what would you say? I'm thinking like less than ten rules because I hate too many rules. I'm like, gosh, like it can't be too many or otherwise. I'm not going to want to talk to anybody because I'll be like, shoot, I didn't say this or like I'm thinking like five or less. But what's kind of your take of how many rules you should have on there?   speaker-1 (21:00) Yeah, I say ten or less. Sometimes depending on the state of of the group, we need to define things a little bit more clearly. So you might need up to ten for some of our groups where it's like we really just need the core things down because we are functioning pretty well. It might be fewer.   speaker-0 (21:14) I would say less is more on this because you want people to feel like they can achieve it versus feeling like they can't say anything for fear that they're not doing it correctly. So set that up, type it up, print it out, have everyone sign on it. And then I would say add it to your onboarding. so when you do bring on new team members, they know it, they sign off on it as well. and then I'd probably review it maybe once a year, twice a year, whenever you feel like that communication might be slipping up a little bit. And I will promise you, signs of communication going down are team members who are frustrated.   ⁓ there's kind of like attitude in meetings or there's quiet in meetings. Oftentimes teams that don't feel safe will be very quiet. You'll have your few people that will chime in, but not the whole team's participating when it comes to group activities. Those tend to be my tail tall signs of like something's off when the body language has shifted, it's more closed off. They're very quiet in meetings. ⁓ and they're just kind of like a come in, don't really want to talk to anybody and take off.   Usually you know there's something going on with communication. Those are mine, but you have anything of like when communication is starting to suffer that are like your hey, we might need to fix this as just some quick like warning signs that you've seen beyond what I just said.   speaker-1 (22:21) Yep, I think you hit some important ones, frustration for sure. And I think you know when your team's just kind of general lack of engagement. and for some of our teams where we might have one person who's speaking up even when we ask, and they're like, Yep, nope, everything's fine. If it's my person that I know is usually more outspoken and they're the only one saying that, then I also know I've probably got something more going on. My quiet people just aren't wanting to chime in.   speaker-0 (22:45) Yep. So I think that that can help you guys. Like I feel like we really went over how to do this, what to do, what to look for. And I would say, ⁓ it's just I think it's more relevant right now. Like Britt said, tons of teams have transitioned and we've got a bunch of new people, which means a lot of opportunity to have miscommunication. So let's let's get that commution communication dialed in. That way you guys are proactive versus reactive. Britt, I love it. I love what you bring to the table and I love that you are such a   fantastic communicator. I think that's something you do very well. And you're also good at spotting problems and creating solutions. So thanks for bringing that to the table today. I loved it. Having me. Always. All right, guys. Go implement this. Get your communication on par. and if we can help you, if you're struggling and you want somebody to mediate, I thought it was helpful that Britt was there because sometimes it is hard to bring these things up if you don't have open communication. So if we can be helpful for you guys, facilitate some of those conversations, give us a call, email us. Hello.   speaker-1 (23:21) Yeah, thanks for   speaker-0 (23:41) Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. We'd love to help you out.   Kiera Dent (23:44) Dental A Team listeners, I hope you loved revisiting this episode as much as I did. I hope that you found the nuggets, the pearls. You can see why we re-released this one because I truly want you to take away the best of the best of the best of the best. This episode truly hopefully sparked some new excitement, gave you some new ideas. I know sometimes when I go back and I look back on things that I've learned in the past, I'm able to re-implement because like that famous quote says, no man steps into the same river twice because neither he is the same man.   nor is the river the same. You are not the same as you were before, nor is your practice the same as it was before. Different things, different ideas, same principles. And I really want to highlight and hopefully you took today that sometimes all we need to do is simplify and put into place or to refine things that we've already been doing really, really well. If you love this episode, don't keep it to yourself, share it with a colleague or leave us a review and help more practices find the Dental A Team podcast. As always, thanks for listening and I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team podcast.

The Croatian Ambassador to Ireland says he's extremely hopeful of increasing tourism between the Eastern European nation and Clare. Clare has been paired with the mediteranean country for the duration of Ireland's EU Presidency, which was marked at an official ceremony at Áras Chontae An Chláir this lunchtime. A series of cultural and entertainment events will take place here to strengthen ties between Clare and Croatia over the next six months. Croatian Ambassador Davor Vidis has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan he'd like to see more flights connecting the locations.

Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, Executive Director, WHO Health Emergencies Programme, spent several weeks in the hot zone in eastern Congo, mobilizing the international response to the late-discovered Ebola outbreak. Establishing community trust and confidence is the single most urgent challenge across all activities. At the six-week point, the response is scaling. However, "We have to be humble." "We are nowhere yet where we want to be." There is now a high-level UN figure in eastern Congo charged with addressing the complex security challenges. The absence of advanced US technical expertise in the deliberations and response, following the US withdrawal from WHO, is "strange." "Everyone pays a price."

During a recreational adult hockey league practice, the goalie skated backward into the crease after a drill and grabbed the top crossbar of the net while stretching and joking with other players. The ice had recently been resurfaced, and the net had not yet been properly secured to the ice. As the goalie leaned his body weight onto the frame, the goal tipped backward and struck him. In a negligence claim between the goalie and the arena, which team takes the blame? Notable Timestamps [ 01:03 ] - Establishing negligence requires meeting four elements, which include having a duty owed, a breach of that duty, a proximately caused injury, and damages. [ 02:20 ] - Even when negligence is successfully established during litigation, there are still potential defenses available, such as assumption of risk and contributory negligence. [ 04:50 ] - The assumption of risk doctrine might still apply even if a player is violating a rule during a game, as participants generally expect potential injury during physical activities. [ 07:11 ] - Some states utilize contributory negligence, which can technically bar a plaintiff from any recovery if they are found to have contributed at all to the incident. [ 11:03 ] - Comparative negligence rules vary, with some states allowing recovery if a person is up to 50% liable, while others require the individual's negligence to be 49% or less. [ 11:51 ] - Under a pure comparative standard, an injured person who is found to be 90% at fault for an incident can still recover the remaining 10% of their respective damages. [ 14:34 ] - In cases involving severe injuries, juries can sometimes be influenced to make decisions inconsistent with the letter of the law. [ 16:29 ] - The outcomes of these negligence defenses heavily depend on the specific state where the case is taking place, the laws that apply, and the overall makeup of the jury pool.

Following their introductory look at the profound nature of covenants, hosts Shelley and June Volk zero in on the foundational promise that sets the stage for all of biblical history: The Abrahamic Covenant. Walking listeners directly through the pages of Genesis, Shelley breaks down the staggering "I will" statements spoken by God to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This episode highlights why this foundational covenant is entirely unconditional—resting solely on the immutable faithfulness of the Creator rather than human perfection. From the specific boundaries of the Promised Land to the lineage that birthed the twelve tribes of Israel and ultimately the Messiah, discover why this eternal agreement remains fully alive and operational in our world today. Key Takeaways from this Episode: The Sovereignty of "I Will": Understanding why the Abrahamic covenant is completely unconditional based on God taking the entire burden of performance upon Himself. Lineage & Territory: Tracking the specific line of inheritance through Isaac and Jacob—explicitly omitting Ishmael—and the permanent geographical boundaries attached to it. A Change of Identity: Looking at the deep prophetic weight behind God renaming Abram to Abraham, and Jacob to Israel. The Root of "Jew": June traces the etymology from Jacob's twelve sons down to the tribe of Judah, meaning "a worshiper of God." To a Thousand Generations: A deep dive into Psalm 105, illustrating that when God says a covenant is "forever," it means it carries absolutely no expiration date. Scripture References & Study Links: The Initial Call: Genesis 12:1-3 (NASB) — Go forth from your country... and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. Geographical Boundaries: Genesis 15:18 (NASB) — From the river of Egypt as far as the great river Euphrates. An Everlasting Bond: Genesis 17:1-8 (NASB) — Establishing the covenant with Abraham and his descendants. Passed to Isaac: Genesis 26:1-5 (NASB) — The oath established with the son of Abraham. Confirmed to Jacob (Israel): Genesis 35:9-12 (NASB) The Eternal Summary: Psalm 105:6-11 (NASB) — He has remembered His covenant forever.

What does it take to build a credible internal audit function when you're working with a small team?In this episode I sit down with Sandeep Das, Head of Internal Audit at Elysium Healthcare, and John Johnson, Partner at Core Audit Partners, for a panel discussion on the unique challenges small audit shops face:- Establishing influence without an implicit mandate- Winning hearts and minds, and- Knowing the difference between output and assurance.

A catastrophic series of earthquakes has left Venezuela facing widespread destruction, thousands of casualties, and an overwhelming humanitarian crisis. In this STRAT episode, the discussion examines not only the immediate rescue effort but also the broader strategic implications for the United States and the Western Hemisphere. Host Hal Kempfer explores why Venezuela's weakened infrastructure and years of government neglect have complicated disaster response, requiring extensive international assistance led in part by U.S. military and civilian teams. Beyond humanitarian relief, the episode analyzes how disaster response can create lasting diplomatic, military, and political opportunities by building trust, strengthening partnerships, and expanding regional influence. Kempfer also considers how long-term recovery efforts could reshape U.S.-Venezuelan relations, improve regional security cooperation, support future democratic stability, and potentially strengthen counter-cartel operations. This episode provides a strategic risk assessment of how a devastating natural disaster could influence geopolitical relationships long after the rescue missions conclude.Takeaways:Venezuela's earthquakes created a humanitarian disaster requiring significant international assistance.Government neglect and deteriorating infrastructure severely hampered emergency response efforts.Local citizens became first responders despite limited training and significant personal risk.U.S. search-and-rescue teams and military assets play a critical role in relief operations.Establishing logistics, airports, ports, and transportation networks is essential to recovery.Disaster response can become a powerful instrument of diplomacy and strategic influence.Long-term recovery efforts may strengthen U.S.-Venezuelan military and governmental relationships.Humanitarian assistance today could shape Venezuela's future political and security landscape.#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #Venezuela #Earthquake #DisasterRelief #HumanitarianAid #Geopolitics #NationalSecurity #StrategicAnalysis #Southcom #USMilitary #EmergencyResponse #ForeignPolicy #WesternHemisphere #DisasterRecovery #RiskAssessment #RegionalSecurity #CivilMilitaryOperations

Standard media execution models face steep performance drops due to fragmented campaign tool dashboards and manual button-clicking busywork.In this episode, Dylan Conroy sits down with Dane Kunkel, SVP of Performance & Transformation at Horizon Media, to map out the workflow automation and data security frameworks needed to scale modern agency performance.Strategic themes analyzed include:Transitioning media buying teams from manual entry tasks into strategic Strategy Optimization roles.Establishing strict data governance frameworks to safely onboard external AI tools.Bypassing platform black boxes with specialized multi-channel enterprise strategies.Using low-code natural language interfaces to build personalized dashboard trackers.Lowering overall customer acquisition costs through organic content testing loops.Dane Kunkel is the SVP of Performance & Transformation at Horizon Media, building enterprise controlled AI workflows and cross-platform verification networks to support leading brands.Connect with the Guest & Partners:Connect with Dane Kunkel on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kunkeldane/Explore Horizon Media's Performance Frameworks: https://www.horizonmedia.com/Optimize Automated Paid Media Scale with Strike Social: https://strikesocial.com/guaranteed-paid-social-media-ads-outcomes/Follow Host Dylan Conroy on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dylanconroy/How can marketing operations leads ensure consistency of output when teams use low-code AI tools to build custom dashboards?Ensuring consistency requires setting up clear enterprise controls and validation guidelines to verify custom analytics code before deployment. While natural language interfaces let operators build custom tracking views quickly, unmanaged tool creation can introduce data compliance errors. Operations leads should track platform usage metrics and pull successful prototypes back into a centralized database environment, giving teams local operational flexibility while preserving overall brand safety and uniform client reporting.Why does data governance act as the primary rate-limiter for enterprise AI tool onboarding?Data governance limits onboarding speed because connecting multi-channel data systems with external AI models introduces data leaks and compliance risks for proprietary brand metrics.Enterprise organizations process massive amounts of first-party consumer files that cannot be uploaded to public models without violating privacy rules. Overcoming this roadblock requires tech directors to construct isolated database connections and clear governance guardrails, ensuring that internal automation speeds do not compromise data privacy.

Many founders begin their entrepreneurial journey deeply involved in networking, relationship-building, and strategic visibility. However, as the business grows and operational demands increase, it is common for founders to step back from these activities—often unintentionally. While this shift may feel necessary, it can lead to a gradual decline in sales, reduced market visibility, and a disconnect from evolving industry trends.In this episode of Millions Were Made, Jessica Marx and Brooke Dumas address a critical yet often overlooked factor in sustained business growth: the founder's role in business development. They explore why business development must remain a consistent priority at every stage of growth. Jessica provides a clear distinction between marketing and business development, emphasizing that while marketing supports visibility, business development drives strategic direction, partnerships, and long-term positioning.Key topics include:• Why stepping away from business development can lead to declining sales and missed opportunities• The distinction between marketing activities and true business development• How founders can remain competitive by staying informed on market trends and industry shifts• Identifying which aspects of business development require direct CEO involvement• Recognizing the signs of a disconnect between the founder and the business• Practical strategies for rebuilding a consistent business development rhythm• How to approach networking and industry conversations with intention and value• Recommended time allocation for business development on a weekly basisIf you are experiencing a slowdown in growth, a lack of clarity in direction, or reduced engagement with your market, this episode provides actionable insights to help you realign and move forward with confidence.

Establishing & Leaving Generational Blessings is the second Father's Day message from the MTN Church. Jim Davis is continuing the conversation on God's design for family, legacy, and faithfulness. Drawing from Psalm 78 and other Scriptures, Jim challenges listeners to think beyond the present and consider what their faith will leave behind for future generations. This message encourages men, fathers, and families to build a legacy of blessing through personal surrender, daily faithfulness, forgiveness, intentional values, life-giving words, and a close walk with Jesus—choosing to become a river of God's blessing rather than a dead end.

Reclaiming the Driver's Seat: Operational Engineering for Service Entrepreneurs with Jillian BaileyIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Jillian Bailey, the founder of Inspired Growth, to dismantle the systemic operational chaos that frequently caps the revenue and sanity of service-based business owners. Jillian, a veteran corporate architect and systems designer, specializes in helping founders transition out of the exhausting "freedom trap"—the painful irony of leaving a corporate job to achieve lifestyle flexibility, only to become the most overworked, manual operator in their own enterprise. This conversation provides an essential operational roadmap for consultants, agency owners, and service professionals who are ready to eliminate decision fatigue, build automated standard operating procedures, and transition their companies into self-sustaining corporate assets that scale predictably without their daily physical intervention.The Architecture of Order: Systematizing Client Journeys and Eliminating Technical FrictionThe primary constraint strangling the valuation of a scaling service enterprise is almost always the founder's tendency to treat every operational task as a unique, high-touch event that requires their personal approval. Jillian Bailey notes that running an organization without documented workflows inevitably forces the executive team into a cycle of constant, reactive firefighting, which destroys cognitive capacity and introduces massive friction into customer-facing operations. True enterprise scalability is achieved when leadership steps away from the daily minutiae to conduct an honest, top-down audit of the company's ecosystem—mapping out every distinct process from initial lead generation to long-term client onboarding. By transforming fragmented knowledge into clean, repeatable Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), business owners remove personal bias from the frontline, ensuring that the brand delivers a uniform premium experience while dramatically reducing administrative friction.Transitioning an enterprise away from founder-dependency requires a disciplined, non-negotiable dedication to leveraging data-driven technology stacks and automated payment pipelines. Many service providers accumulate severe operational debt by attempting to manage complex scheduling, multi-system client communication, and monthly invoicing manually, assuming that software integration is a luxury reserved only for larger corporations. Real-world profit optimization is unlocked when an organization systematically connects tools like Calendly, Dubsado, and Zapier to automate back-office admin tasks, building a resilient digital infrastructure that moves client delivery along automatically. When independent software modules handle these repetitive pipelines in the background, the business naturally minimizes transaction errors, protects its gross margins against inflation, and frees the internal workforce to focus purely on high-yield strategic initiatives.Sustaining this optimized momentum demands that executive leadership actively cultivate a transparent corporate culture that normalizes behavioral vulnerability and rejects the toxic, un-scalable myth of the perfect founder. When corporate managers hide internal bottlenecks or attempt to absorb operational errors out of fear, it creates silent cracks in the business infrastructure that eventually lead to severe team attrition and severe leadership burnout. Establishing clear, high-accountability feedback loops and celebrating transparent, honest error reporting allows corporate teams to address underlying system failures rather than masking immediate symptoms. When an enterprise synthesizes this authentic communication philosophy with empirical operational diagnostics—such as comprehensive efficiency audits—the business naturally expands its enterprise value. This proactive governance converts the corporate asset from a time-consuming job into a highly automated, passive engine designed to predictably fund the lifestyle of its owner.About Jillian BaileyJillian Bailey is the Founder and Chief Operations Consultant of Inspired Growth, and a premier authority on systems engineering and lifestyle restoration for overwhelmed service entrepreneurs. Drawing from a deep background in corporate lifecycle dynamics, workflow design, and operational psychology, Jillian specializes in helping high-performing founders replace chaotic daily firefighting with permanent, scalable infrastructure. She is a dedicated advisor focused on helping business leaders establish clear operational boundaries, implement high-yield automation, and reclaim true professional autonomy.About Inspired GrowthInspired Growth is an elite corporate consulting and operations advisory firm designed to help small-to-mid-sized service enterprises transition from chaotic, founder-dependent models into structured corporate assets. The firm specializes in delivering comprehensive business ecosystem audits, custom SOP development, automated tech stack integration, and white-glove fractional management services. Through proprietary strategic systems like the Efficiency Audit Quiz, Inspired Growth enables organizations to eliminate administrative bottlenecks, improve client retention, and secure sustainable, scalable profit margins.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeInspired Growth Official Website: inspired-growth.comKey Episode HighlightsThe Freedom Trap Framework: Analyzing why service entrepreneurs unconsciously exchange corporate structures for exhausting, high-volume operational self-employment.The Architecture of Predictable SOPs: Crafting simple, repeatable Standard Operating Procedures to eliminate decision fatigue and streamline team delegation pipelines.The 5-Stage Business Diagnostic Evaluation: Jillian's precise operational method to calm immediate fire fighting, zoom out, and systematically clean up backend workflow debt.Normalizing the "Dirty Secrets" of Scale: Overcoming executive burnout by establishing transparent workplace communication and embracing vulnerability across all management lines.Backend Automation Loops: Leveraging optimized tech integrations across scheduling, data tracking, and customer relationship management to insulate business profit margins.ConclusionThe conversation with Jillian Bailey reinforces that true operational freedom is a direct downstream result of structural precision and data-driven system architecture rather than pure manual hustle. By standardizing internal corporate governance, removing process friction from the frontline, and focusing ruthlessly on automated systems, service leaders can safely transform a volatile, time-consuming business into a highly structured, self-sustaining corporate asset.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

In this episode, we discuss how establishing a structured daily routine serves as the ultimate weapon for breaking free from destructive cycles and maintaining long-term spiritual freedom.Key TakeawaysRoutine is Your Foundation: Think of a structured routine as building your life on solid rock. Without it, your discipline feels shaky, leaving you highly vulnerable to old triggers when life gets chaotic.The Power of the Bookends: Master your morning and evening. Establishing strict, consistent wake-up and bedtimes creates the psychological boundaries necessary to maintain daily self-control.Structure Eradicates Vulnerability: Lust thrives in unstructured gaps of time. By proactively mapping out your day, you drastically reduce the idle moments where temptation typically strikes.The Trifecta of Daily Defense: True freedom is maintained through three core daily habits: Dedicated Spiritual Time to ground your mind, Journaling (especially video journaling) to track your triggers and progress, and Physical Exercise (like a simple daily push-up challenge) to burn off restless energy and foster physical discipline.Consistency Over Intensity: Overambitious schedules lead to rapid burnout. Keep your routine remarkably simple and sustainable—doing the small things every single day is what builds the "save button" for your progress.Chapters[00:00] — The Solid Rock: Why routine is the essential, missing foundation for a sustainable life.[00:28] — My Story: A personal look at breaking free from lust and the exact role routine played in that victory.[01:58] — Breaking the Relapse Cycle: How a structured day acts as the ultimate pattern-interrupter for chronic habits.[04:15] — Redefining Discipline: Shifting your mindset from seeing routine as a punishment to seeing it as your ultimate path to freedom.[05:12] — Eliminating Idle Time: How to use scheduling as a shield against temptation during unstructured hours.[07:33] — The 5 Core Habits: A practical breakdown of wake-up times, sleep, spiritual focus, journaling, and exercise.[09:20] — Tracking the Triggers: How written and video journaling expose the patterns behind your slips.[13:02] — Managing Restless Energy: Utilizing simple physical movement (like daily push-ups) to build physical self-control.[15:22] — The Burnout Trap: Why keeping your habits simple and manageable prevents dangerous exhaustion.[16:42] — The Progress "Save Button": How the cumulative power of small actions locks in your spiritual gains over time.[21:04] — A Shield, Not a Cure: Understanding that routine doesn't instantly solve the problem—it creates the environment for victory to happen.[23:25] — The Final Key: Why doing the small things daily beats rare, intense efforts every single time.

When David stepped into the Valley of Elah, he wasn't just facing a 9-foot giant named Goliath; he was facing an army of doubts, armor he couldn't wear, and brothers who didn't believe in him. If you are facing massive "giants" or hiding in the "caves" of your own life right now, David's journey from shepherd boy to anointed king provides the ultimate blueprint for victory. Summary: In this episode, we chart the epic rise of King David across 1 Samuel 17 through 2 Samuel 10. We bypass the standard Sunday School narratives to explore the deep spiritual grit, covenant loyalty, and absolute humility required to step into our divine inheritance. David vs. Goliath: We analyze the stark contrast between Saul's heavy, untried armor and David's simple sling and stones. We explore why true power lies in trusting the name of the Lord rather than relying on human architecture. The Wilderness of Jealousy: We trace David's years running from a paranoid King Saul. We study David's remarkable restraint in the cave of En-gedi, where he refuses to "stretch forth his hand" against the Lord's anointed, teaching us how to handle unjust leadership and wait on God's timetable. Abigail the Peacemaker: We dive into 1 Samuel 25 to study Abigail, a brilliant woman who stepped between her foolish husband Nabal and a vengeful David. She serves as a profound type of Jesus Christ, taking the blame upon herself to prevent bloodshed and restore peace. Steadying the Ark: We confront the tragic story of Uzzah in 2 Samuel 6. We break down the spiritual danger of trying to "steady the ark"—or attempting to correct God's kingdom using human methods—and contrast it with the pure joy David felt dancing before the Lord as the Ark entered Jerusalem. Establishing the Kingdom: We finish with a united Israel, looking at how David chose to heal generational trauma by showing kindness to Mephibosheth (Jonathan's son) instead of wiping out his political rivals. Call-to-Action: Saul relied on his physical stature, but David relied on the Lord of Hosts. What is the "heavy armor" of the world that you need to take off so you can fight your battles God's way?

Cole Mannix is a multi-generational rancher from central and western Montana who serves as the founder of Old Salt, a vertically integrated startup enterprise. Coming from a background rooted in mountain grazing and extensive holistic management, Cole spent decades working alongside his family and regional producers to optimize ecological function, riparian health, and predator coexistence on their expansive home landscapes. Recognizing the vulnerabilities ranching families face as processing and retail channels become increasingly consolidated, Cole launched Old Salt to construct an alternative ecosystem of localized market power. Under his leadership, Old Salt has grown to incorporate a membership of ranches operating alongside processing hubs, a direct e-commerce engine, local restaurants, and an annual community festival hosted directly on his family's ranch. Cole is dedicated to creating experiential, relational marketplaces that adequately reward producers, support active workforce ownership, and increase the sheer volume of passionate hearts and hands managing the landscape. In this episode, John and Cole discuss: How Cole engineered an LLC model with cooperative principles to access external capital without risking members' family lands. Constructing a vertically integrated market to disrupt highly consolidated, downstream corporate meat packing and processing monopolies. Establishing regional slaughter facilities and custom restaurants to stabilize profit margins and balance animal carcasses locally. Rerouting financial value directly back upstream to give independent ranchers viable financial alternatives to commodity supply chains. Why integrating livestock back into modern cropping systems is restricted by structural barriers like missing fences and scarce water infrastructure. Creating parallel government incentive programs focused on funding active farm labor rather than subsidizing crop insurance yields.

As grand mansions and country houses were built during America's Gilded Age, an integral part of any estate design was an equally grand and impressive garden. Drawing on European traditions, great Gilded Age gardens ranged from the very formal to a more natural style that incorporated the surrounding countryside.  The most successful garden designer of the late 19th century was the extraordinary Beatrix Farrand. Establishing herself as a designer with exceptional talent and a unique point of view, she competed in a profession largely dominated by men.  Her designs, a few of which can still be seen today, including the gardens at Washington, DC's Dumbarton Oaks, revolutionized American garden design and showed her talent not only as a landscape architect but as a true artist.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
