“Oddly enough, it’s the vulnerability that connects us. It’s not the perfect; yeah, that’s like Teflon.” – Mike Depatie Mike Depatie Mike Depatie, Founding Partner of KHP Capital Partners, attended the Hoffman Process in 2005. At the Process, Mike looked around the room and felt like he didn’t belong. He wasn’t even sure it was right for him because he felt he had a kind of Leave-it-to-Beaver childhood. Mike stayed through that discomfort and came to understand that even though he felt he had nothing in common with those he was with, he had come to love them. He realized that everyone is lovable if you really get to know them, including himself. Mike came to the Process through his role as President and CEO of Kimpton Hotels. Kimpton leadership encouraged employees to connect with themselves, so they would ultimately connect at a deeper and more effective level with their teammates and customers. To that end, employees were given the chance to do the Hoffman Process. Mike agreed to come. After attending, he says the Process helps people discover the best version of themselves. The business advice he offers is to “figure out who the hell you are, and then fully step into that.” Mike is the informal leader of Qfish, an annual fishing trip whose members are all Hoffman Process grads, including Raz Ingrasci, a long-time participant. They called themselves Qfish, like the Hoffman Q2 retreat. For the past 20 years, they've fished together and processed things like they’d learned to do at their Process. Both Raz and Drew Horning have attended these Qfish gatherings. We hope you enjoy this engaging conversation with Mike and Drew. Listen on Apple Podcasts More about Mike Depatie: Qfish Mike Depatie is a seasoned hospitality and investment leader best known for serving as President and CEO of Kimpton Hotels, which he led for over a decade before its sale to IHG in 2015. Under his leadership, Kimpton became the world's largest boutique hotel company with over 60 hotels and a celebrated workplace and brand. Kimpton was named one of Fortune Magazine's 100 Best Places to Work multiple times. Mike is now a Founding Partner of KHP Capital Partners, an active investor in hospitality real estate. With a Harvard MBA, he has held senior roles across hospitality, real estate, and technology. He’s served on multiple boards. Mike lives in Napa with his wife, Holly, and their 16-year-old yellow lab, Cabo. As mentioned in this episode: Qfish, including Drew, Mike, Raz, and other Hoffman graduates. Raz Ingrasci: Raz, along with his wife Liza Ingrasci, founded the Hoffman Institute Foundation. Raz passed away on December 31, 2025. •   Listen to Raz on The Hoffman Podcast •   Watch Raz on The Oprah Podcast David Bork Founder of the Aspen Family Business Institute, David was a pioneer in the field of counseling family-owned businesses for over 25 years.

When you truly love what you do and the people you do it with, succession has its own unique challenges. It would be easy to postpone leadership changes indefinitely, and protect the status quo.

From putting clear guardrails in place to acknowledging the emotional difficulty of letting go of something you love, the Dowlings share what it takes to build a company that can outlast you, and why it matters to do it before you have to.Key Topics Discussed:How Everett Dowling's experience with his father's business shaped how he approached succession with his own childrenHow Dowling Company set a leadership transition date, and why that clarity matteredThe role of the Dowling family values (humility, integrity, hard work, opportunity) in shaping company culture, community relationships, and successionThe importance of proactive guardrails for future family ownership and team cohesionConnect with Everett Dowling and Jack Dowling on LinkedInBuilding Unbreakable Brands is hosted by Meghan LynchProduced by Six-Point Strategy

Aaron Archer, a new dad and nurse practitioner in Knoxville, shares with Barry how he learned to be a father after growing up without a present father. Aaron shares meeting his wife Abby through hospital orientation, building a nursing career, and welcoming their daughter Ava. He defines fatherlessness primarily as lack of presence, describes his parents' divorce amid abuse and addiction, and explains how his single mom Rebecca provided love, sacrifice, and stability while raising three kids. Aaron discusses identity, “father hunger,” performance-driven striving, and the need to address wounds so they don't spread, comparing healing to treating physical wounds. He emphasizes modeling faith through actions, seeking mentors, and “turning the chair” to break generational patterns.Join FatherFuel for more: https://www.fatherseekers.org/fatherfuelFS Facebook FS Instagram FS YouTube Ask Barry a question: barry@fatherseekers.orgCHAPTERS00:00 Why Dads Need Guidance00:36 Meet Aaron and Baby Ava02:52 From Student to Nurse Practitioner05:35 Growing Up Fatherless08:02 Becoming a Present Dad12:21 Raised by a Single Mom16:45 Sacrifice and Sibling Support18:33 Family Business and Grow Story21:14 Shane Builds a Salon Empire22:58 Family Business Teamwork24:59 Identity Through Presence27:13 Modeling Faith at Home30:16 Creating Peaceful Spaces34:05 Healing Not Performance39:58 Father Hunger and Affirmation43:10 Wounds Not Your Fault44:53 Advice to Fatherless Dads47:45 Wrap Up and Resources48:16 fatherseekers.org--FatherSeekers helps fatherless fathers become better fathers.Get discussion guides, devotionals, and more at FS Website

Casey O'Quinn is the founder of Gravity Digital, a family-owned marketing agency that has served direct-to-consumer family businesses for 25 years. He works alongside multiple family members including his father, wife, sister, cousins, and in-laws across several ventures including the agency, healthcare, and real estate. Casey built his firm on a unique revenue-share model where his team only gets paid when clients grow, challenging the traditional agency retainer approach.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode, Jonathan Goldhill is joined by Casey O'Quinn, founder of Gravity Digital, a family-owned agency serving family-owned DTC brands for 25 years, about marketing as capital allocation that can drain family wealth and strain relationships when spent on vague retainers without measurable return. Casey contrasts traditional hourly/retainer agency models with Gravity Digital's revenue-share approach, where the agency is paid only on growth above a baseline, aligning incentives and enabling investment in creative, websites, and testing. They discuss protecting “the family farm,” handling generational risk tolerance, patience and education around digital channels, and a “seven-figure blueprint” formula (customers × frequency × average order value) emphasizing ads for scalable acquisition, email/SMS for repeat purchases, and upsells for AOV. Key metrics include new customer acquisition cost, lifetime value, new vs returning customers, and cautious use of ROAS amid attribution limits, plus integrating marketing into EOS scorecards and quarterly testing.KEY TAKEAWAYSFamily before business: Make a commitment to walk away from the business before letting it damage family relationships—this principle forces better conflict resolutionRevenue share model: Align agency incentives with client outcomes by only getting paid when clients grow, rather than fixed retainers that don't ensure resultsMarketing as investment: View marketing spending through the lens of capital allocation and ROI, not just as an expense line itemNAC is critical: Understanding your New Customer Acquisition Cost and being willing to spend MORE than competitors (while staying profitable) is how you win at scaleSimple growth formula: Revenue = Customers × Frequency × Average Order Value. Focus on these three levers systematicallyTest before committing: Start with small tests and let data drive decisions rather than assumptions, especially when navigating generational disagreementsFailure is feedback: Marketing experiments that don't work aren't failures—they're learning opportunities to "fail forward"Patience + transparency: Success in family business marketing requires educating all generations, managing different risk appetites, and showing early wins to build trustQUOTES"We would walk away from the business before we let it come between us." — On family business priorities"He who is willing and able to spend the most to acquire a customer wins." — On competitive advantage in customer acquisition"Good marketing can't fix a bad product." — On fundamental business requirements"The cheapest customer you'll ever get is the one you already have." — On the value of repeat business and frequency"Marketing and innovation produce results. Everything else is just a cost." — Peter Drucker quote on business fundamentals"Protect the family farm—that's the family business." — On preserving generational wealth and avoiding capital drain"Failure is just feedback." — On reframing marketing experiments"Marketing is half art, half science, half left brain, half right brain." — On the dual nature of effective marketingConnect and learn more about Casey O'Quinn.https://www.linkedin.com/in/caseyoquinn/If you enjoyed today's episode, please subscribe, review, and share with a friend who would benefit from the message.

The 2026 NFL Draft is officially on the horizon, and the Carolina Panthers have some massive decisions to make. In today's video, I'm breaking down my first full mock draft of the season!We're prioritizing the "trenches and targets" strategy to help Bryce Young take that next step. We start strong by bolstering the offensive line with Spencer Fano and Logan Jones, ensuring the pocket stays clean. Then, we add some elite bloodlines to the defense with linebacker Josiah Trotter—could he be the heartbeat of this defense for the next decade?I'm also diving into the late-round steals like Michael Trigg and Bryce Lance, who bring massive frames and red-zone mismatch potential to the Queen City.The Draft Class:OL Spencer Fano (Utah): Elite athleticism to solidify the tackle or guard spot.LB Josiah Trotter (Missouri): The "Family Business" comes to Carolina.TE Michael Trigg (Baylor): A 6'4" mismatch nightmare.DL Skyler Gill-Howard (Texas Tech): A high-motor disruptor for the interior.S Jalen Stroman (Notre Dame): A physical, hard-hitting presence in the secondary.WR Bryce Lance (NDSU): Speed and size (4.34 40!) from the FCS powerhouse.C Logan Jones (Iowa): The next great Iowa center to lead the O-line.What do you think of these picks? Let me know in the comments who YOU want the Panthers to take!

Why is waiting so hard, especially when we believe we're doing everything right?In today's episode, Richelle Alessi opens up about the struggles and lessons found in trusting God's timing, drawing encouragement from the story of Jesus, Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. Together, we'll reflect on what it means to wait faithfully, deepen our faith in seasons of uncertainty, and embrace the journey of becoming more patient and trusting children of God.Join our community in prayer and devotion as we seek comfort, perspective, and renewed hope while waiting on the Lord's perfect timing.Tap HERE to send us a text!

Hey Voices from the Bench community! Jessica Love here, sending a shoutout from Utah! If you're passionate about creating natural, beautiful smiles—but want to simplify your workflow without sacrificing aesthetics—this is for you. I'm honored to be part of Ivoclar's development team introducing a powerful new stain and glaze system featuring Structure Paste, IPS e.max Ceram Art. Create stunning depth and lifelike color in as little as one firing. Let's continue to innovate, simplify, and create meaningful change—one smile at a time. Elvis actually made it down to the exhibition halls this year — and hyperDENT from FOLLOW-ME! Technology was everywhere. Booth after booth, people were talking milling strategies, templates, and workflows. It felt like a full-on CAM takeover. Their Milling Roadmap scavenger hunt had attendees bouncing between Axsys, Imagine, D.O.F., and Roland collecting stamps like responsible adults… Responsible adults chasing a bright orange folding electric hyperDENT scooter. That's what we love about the FOLLOW-ME! team — world-class CAM engineers talking microns and validation protocols one minute, then ripping around Lab Day the next. Serious about precision. Not too serious about themselves. Big shoutout for bringing the brains — and the electric horsepower. Come see and talk to Elvis and Barb at all these amazing shows in 2026* Dental Lab Association of Texas Meeting in Dallas Apr 9-11 https://members.dlat.org/ exocad Insights in Mallorca, Spain Apr 30 - May 1 https://exocad.com/insights-2026 This week, we sit down with Richard Rosas Sr — artist, entrepreneur, removable specialist, and the man behind one of the most creative workflows we've heard in a long time. Richard's journey starts in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he grew up moving between nine schools, discovered a gift for fine art, and even earned a scholarship to Tyler School of Art and Architecture — which he turned down out of fear of becoming a starving artist. After a detour into computer programming, granite engraving, and even opening a salsa dance studio with his mom (yes, there's a South Beach nightclub moment that changed everything), Richard eventually answered a tiny newspaper ad asking, “Are you an artist?” That question led him into a dental laboratory and launched a career that would blend creativity, discipline, faith, and serious removable skills. Under intense mentorship and PTC-style training, Richard sharpened his craft in removables, eventually managing a department and earning enough respect that doctors specifically requested him chairside. One large account even pulled all their cases after Richard pushed back on unrealistic deadlines — only to return weeks later with deeper respect and loyalty. That experience shaped his philosophy: honesty, communication, and quality always win long term. His path then led him to ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers, where performing four to six arches a day gave him next-level surgical and prosthetic experience. It was there that the real lightbulb went off — immediate impression evaluation, real-time patient interaction, faster turnaround, and true collaboration between surgeon, prosthodontist, and technician completely changed his view of what was possible. Now Richard has taken that high-efficiency, patient-centered model and built something entirely his own: a boutique removable lab with a fully functional, patent-pending mobile on-site dental laboratory inside a Mercedes Sprinter van. By bringing the lab directly to private practices, he combines multiple traditional appointments into streamlined visits, delivers final dentures in as little as two weeks, processes chairside in the parking lot, and markets not only to dentists but directly to patients. His mission isn't just to make dentures faster — it's to elevate the technician's role, strengthen patient connection, and show that removables can be both efficient and beautiful. Through his new YouTube channel, Mastering Removables, he's beginning to share that knowledge with others who want to rethink what a lab can be. Hey, listeners—ever wonder what Elvis is doing when he's not recording Voices from the Bench? He's a client rep for Derby Dental Laboratory, out in the field every day doing chairside visits and building relationships. His job is simple—keep doctors happy and keep them coming back. And he couldn't do it without iCortica. Right from his phone, Elvis can see sales, remake rates, account notes, risks, and cross-sell opportunities—even before he walks through the door. No spreadsheets. No surprises. Just the info he needs to grow accounts. Stop digging for data and start taking action. Head to icortica.com and schedule your demo today.

Steve, Jacob, and Joseph Warren of Financial Planning HQ join host Todd Marquardt talks about the highs and lows of a family business on this edition of Talk Law Radio.

Common Mistakes During Family Business Estate Planning Estate planning is technical. Family business estate planning is emotional. Because in a family enterprise, wealth is never just capital. It represents identity. Sacrifice. Legacy. Control. Protection. And when estate planning is driven by fear instead of preparation, families don't just protect assets — they unintentionally weaken the people who must steward them. In this episode of The Family Biz Show, wealth psychologist Jim Grubman, co-author of Wealth 3.0, challenges the most common assumptions shaping multi-generational estate planning. What he reveals reframes everything.   The 70% Myth That Built an Industry You've heard it: "Seventy percent of wealth transfers fail by the second generation." It's repeated in boardrooms. It's cited in advisor presentations. It's used to justify complex trust structures and control mechanisms. But where did it actually come from? Jim explains how limited, narrow research became accepted as universal truth — and how that narrative shaped decades of defensive estate planning. When founders believe generational decline is inevitable, they design structures around protection instead of development. Fear becomes policy.   Exposure Is Not Preparation Many G1 leaders assume: "My kids grew up around this business. They've seen it. They'll figure it out." But as one next-generation leader put it: "Just because I was along for the ride doesn't mean I know how to drive." Estate planning often transfers ownership without transferring capability. Preparation is not passive. It requires: Intentional financial education Decision-making responsibility Governance participation Clear communication Without these, wealth transitions become fragile.   The Hidden Estate Planning Variable: Parenting The quiet truth behind most generational breakdowns? It's not tax law. It's not structure. It's not even governance. It's parenting. Jim calls it the "hidden dirty little secret" of wealth. Families often assume they can raise children the same way they were raised — even when their economic reality has completely changed. But wealth changes context. Context requires adaptation. If parenting doesn't evolve, tension accumulates. And no trust structure can fix that.   The Language That Shapes Legacy One of the most powerful insights in this episode is linguistic. "Shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in three generations." It's not even a complete sentence. There's no verb. No inevitability. Just assumption. Yet families internalize it as destiny. And when inevitability is assumed, estate plans become restrictive. Control increases. Trust decreases. Narrative drives structure. Structure drives outcomes.   Adaptation Is the Real Strategy Successful multi-generational families ask three questions: What should we keep? What should we let go? What must we learn? Estate planning is not static. Every generation faces: Different markets Different personalities Different spouses Different pressures Replication does not guarantee continuity. Adaptation does.   Key Takeaways • The "70% wealth transfer failure" statistic is often overstated and misunderstood. • Fear-based estate planning leads to over-control and restrictive structures. • Exposure to wealth does not equal readiness to manage it. • Preparation for generational transition must be active and intentional. • Parenting and communication are central to long-term wealth continuity. • Language and inherited narratives shape governance decisions. • Estate planning should focus on developing capable stewards — not just protecting assets.   The Real Purpose of Family Business Estate Planning Estate planning is not primarily about minimizing taxes. It is about aligning: Wealth and capability Structure and trust Protection and preparation Family identity and future leadership When estate planning is fear-driven, families fragment. When it is preparation-driven, families flourish. This episode is a masterclass in reframing estate planning from defensive preservation to intentional generational development. Because wealth doesn't fail. Preparation does.

From a family split between union steamfitters and dental technicians in Philadelphia to surviving “The Great Brotherly Lab War,” Jay's story is packed with grit, loyalty, and a whole lot of Irish Catholic chaos. What started with an uncle drafted into dental technology during Vietnam eventually turned into a multi-generation lab legacy—and Jay swearing he'd never get into teeth… only to build a powerhouse anyway. After the 2008 crash wiped out his construction business, Jay bet everything on selling outsourced restorations door-to-door, sleeping in his car, showering at the gym, and cold-calling hundreds of offices a week. What followed was the development of his unapologetically bold, psychologically savvy sales approach—what he calls being “aggressively calm.” From pushing doctors to “no,” to matching their energy toe-to-toe, to walking into offices as “the lab” and walking out with cases in hand, Jay breaks down the mindset shift most lab owners desperately need: sales isn't optional, and it definitely isn't accidental. Now leading multiple lab locations under the brilliantly simple name thedentallab.net, Jay shares hard truths about growth, mergers, firing abusive clients, and why cutting your sales department in tough times is the worst move you can make. If you've ever struggled with prospecting, scaling, or standing your ground with doctors, this episode is packed with practical strategies, hilarious role-playing, and a reminder that confidence—backed by accountability—wins every time. At Canadian Dental Labs, Icortica has become a cornerstone of how we operate—giving us at-a-glance visibility into performance, helping us focus our efforts, spot opportunities early, and solve problems before they grow.

In this jaw-dropping episode , we sit down with George Day — one of the most prolific yet largely unknown drug kingpins in American history. Raised in Washington, DC, George was literally born into the drug trade. By age six, he was traveling across the border with his father, helping smuggle hundreds of pounds of marijuana hidden inside a Winnebago. As he grew older, his life spiraled deeper into the underworld — from trimming weed in Mexico to handling massive cash pickups and negotiating with Colombian suppliers before he was even a teenager. After his father's sudden death, George found himself — at just 11 years old — sitting on a multimillion-dollar drug ledger, forced to navigate dangerous debts, cartel relationships, and violent street politics. What followed was the rise of a cocaine empire that eventually stretched across all 50 states… and ultimately led to a life sentence plus 90 years in federal prison. This is Part 1 of an unbelievable story about family, survival, crime, and the realities of growing up inside America's drug economy.

For decades, the United States' relationship with Cuba has been fraught, at best. Now, long-time observers say it's time to start calling American measures what they are: a blockade. He says a Toronto hospital changed his life by treating his mental health condition -- and now, he's hoping his $10-million donation to that facility will change other patients' lives too. A paleontologist sets off for the Sahara Desert with nothing but an old monograph of an ancient tooth and unearths something truly ferocious, with an appropriately ferocious nickname. Two Michigan men break a record that was exciting to them -- and annoying to everyone in their general vicinity -- by playing pickleball for 28 straight hours.
