For years, I quietly dealt with painful Hidradenitis Suppurativa until a surprising conversation with a friend told me how laser hair removal was a gamechanger for her HS. I was skeptical, but it ultimately became the HS treatment that made the biggest difference in my flares.In this episode, I'm sharing my experience with this treatment, who is most likely to benefit, types of lasers that work best, and how to possibly get this covered by your insurance. While this isn't a “root cause” fix for HS, it certainly can bring you relief if you're the right candidate for it, AND what you can do to then get at what's driving all that inflammation in the first place!⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references + the HS laser hair removal insurance request form

Kiera and Kristy share tips on having financial conversations with patients, including the type of mindset to adopt so it's not so intimidating, key language to use to get everyone on the same page, the power of a litmus test, and more. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review       Kiera (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team   listeners. This is Kiera, and today's a lucky day. I'm so excited. I get one of my faves podcasting with me today. I get the one and only Kristy Treasure. If you don't know Kristy, she's one of our dynamite consultants and she just drives offices to success faster than most people I've ever met. She's absolutely dynamite. And today we're gonna be talking about how to have financial conversations with patients. This is right up her alley. Things she's obsessed about talking about. Kristy, welcome to the show. How are you today?   DAT- Kristy (00:26) Good, thank you. Pleasure pleasure to be here.   Kiera (00:29) I love it. Kristy, it's so fun to talk. You love talking all things money, numbers, metrics. Like that's your jam. How did you even get into numbers and metrics, Kristy? Like, walk us through for those of you who don't know Kristy, she was an office manager. She's been like every position in the practice. She grew this exponentially large practice. But for some reason, her niche is numbers. So, Kristy, how did you get into numbers? Like, why are you this like obsessive woman about numbers? How did that like passion and obsession come to be for you?   DAT- Kristy (00:56) It's so funny. I think at one time I actually thought about getting into accounting, but I never did. Yeah. But in the dental world, you know, really   Kiera (01:02) I could see it, I could see it.   DAT- Kristy (01:07) the numbers are really only a measure of how well we're taking care of our patients and getting them healthy. And so from the dental realm, you know, oral wellness is a passion of mine. Maybe I should have been a hygienist too in a different life. But with that being said, the numbers don't lie. And so   Kiera (01:25) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (01:26) the you know, being in OM and practice administration, it it was the guide to let me know if we were winning or not. And so it it's not so much about the number, but where is it trending, you know? And so being able sorry, Kiera, being able   Kiera (01:38) Mm-hmm. How do you no, no   DAT- Kristy (01:42) to give that back and have teams know where they stand too, I think is hugely important.   Kiera (01:49) So, how do you get teams on board with this? Like that was gonna be my follow-up when I was about to cut you off. Sorry on that. Like, I agree with you. It's ch it's shell, but how do you get your teams on board? Cause I think this is a common piece and a common like fear of offices is they don't want to tell their teams. They don't want their teams to talk about numbers. Doctors are afraid if teams look at numbers and they're gonna think they want to buy a new boat, which I'm like, go for it, buy the boat, like live your life. But how do you get teams on board to look at these numbers and doctors not to be afraid to share numbers with their with their teams?   DAT- Kristy (02:18) Yeah. I think first and foremost we start out by talking about why did we all get into dentistry? Because usually it's about caring for our patients. And Kiera, I think there's also a misunderstanding that just because a practice may be collecting six million dollars doesn't mean the practice is financially healthy. And so when teams understand there's numbers inside the practice and numbers outside of the practice, I think it helps them   understand and just like they have to manage their finances, you know, what's in the bank? How am I gonna pay my mortgage? Like getting them on board to understand that helps them also drive for the success. And I don't know, you've been in dentistry a long time too. And I truly haven't met a doctor that isn't willing to give back when the practice   Kiera (03:05) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (03:05) is profitable. So typically, you know, when teams are on board and we're rowing in the same direction for a goal, it's a win win.   Kiera (03:14) Yeah. I hope the doctors heard that. I hope the teams heard that of it is a win-win. It's a good way for us all to get aligned and be on the same page with each other. And like doctors, it is a business at the end of the day. And having a practice and having the numbers tell you, I love numbers because I feel like they're the non-emotional facts of the business. They're able to tell us, are we winning? Are we losing? It's just like a scoreboard in sports. Like it's up on the board. We know if that team is winning or if they're not winning.   and for us not to have like visibility into our business to know are we on track, are we off track? To me feels like what do we do when we're flying blind? Like I can't imagine a sports team like playing against each other and there's no score up on the board. It's just like hoops versus hoops. Like that's fun for a while, but the drive and the like, how do I protect my craft and how do I become a better player? And how do I know if we're actually playing as a team or we're just out here all open? Like those are the ways that you can actually see if you're winning or not. So   Kristy,   I'm gonna pivot us now to financial conversations with patients because it's all things money. We just gave you guys some tips on how you can talk to your teams about this, teams why you need to look at the numbers, how it is a scoreboard of the success of your practice. They don't lie. Every number tells a story, every number t ties to a system of what is broken, what can we improve, how can we improve it? It actually makes like your job easier as a team member because then we're not trying to solve the whole practice. We're just refining based on what the numbers are telling us.   So now pivoting that to patients, I think so many treatment coordinators, doctors, hygienists, like everyone in the practice is so scared to talk money with patients. So Kristy, like let's dig into that. How can people like what is that? Why are people afraid of this? Any tips on how we can have these financial conversations with patients?   DAT- Kristy (04:56) Yeah. I think first and foremost is understanding that, you know, we're in it to get patients healthy. And we   Kiera (05:04) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (05:04) all understand that if there's active infection going on, it's not gonna get any better than it is today. And so   Kiera (05:12) Right.   DAT- Kristy (05:13) coming from the you know, reframing our brains and coming from the space of taking us back to why we got into dentistry and caring for people, their oral health   equates to their overall health. And if we can get them healthy as quickly as possible, all the better. But I also like to tell my teams, we play the healthcare advocate, but it's always in the patient's hands. So when we can put it back to the patients and say, you know, I'm here for you. And truly this is your journey. You get to be in the driver's seat. And we're going to do this in your timeframe.   And within your budget. It takes that pressure off and it really makes it a relational thing. And we can be the guide to getting them healthy.   Kiera (06:03) That's amazing. And I think Kristy, as you said that, like it's just a reframe, right? Like I think we have the reframe right now. Like you you're telling yourself a story. You're telling yourself a story of, like people have to pay money and it's uncomfortable and they w but there's also another story of we're doing this amazing service and they're paying for a great service, just like Kristy. You used to cut hair. Like people, you give a good haircut, people want to pay you for a great and they even tip you.   Like no one has tipped me in my career for not sucking up their uvula. I would love to have a tip jar. Like you're welcome patients. I didn't suction that up. but like they want to, they want to pay for a service. And I think in dentistry we get kind of weird because like we are in healthcare and when we go to the doctor, but like never once have I ever gone to the doctor and been like, I'm just not gonna pay for it. Like, I know I have a copay, I know I have this.   And so I think for us to reframe it of we've done great dentistry, we've done a great service. People naturally know, like when I go to the grocery store, I buy groceries. When I get my haircut, I pay for my haircut. When I go to the dentist, I pay for my cleaning. I pay for my my care. Like that's what I pay for. And so I I love that you talk about Kristy of like this is just why we're even in dentistry. We did this to get patients back to health. We're here to serve.   I think that there's this space of having confidence in who you are and not being afraid of asking for money. Like it's okay. You did great work. You brought them back to health. Like you did something amazing for them. They are more than happy. It's the gift of reciprocity. And that worked so hard for me. But when we've done something good, people naturally, as a byproduct, want to pay for it. and so helping us, like you said, let's just do a reframe. Like, what if for the next week everybody in our practice just thought like every patient wants to pay us?   Like I promise you, it will be that you've just like activated that and you'll start to see more patients want to pay you. More patients are not having financial conversations of issues with you. It's not a conversation, like they're not rejecting you. They just want like they're just asking questions. And I think we often take those questions as rejection rather like it's confrontation rather than just conversations.   DAT- Kristy (08:11) Yeah, I love that you say that, Kiera. And I tell teams every day, number one, when you take a step back and figure out why are they here, because we all know every single patient walks in and what do they say? I hate coming to the dentist. And I'm thinking to myself, there is nobody standing outside this door with, you know, holding a gun to you saying, You have to go to the dentist. So they're   Kiera (08:32) Mm.   DAT- Kristy (08:33) here for a reason and we just need to figure out what that reason is. People's motivation can be different, you know.   We talk about wellness, longevity, cosmetic, right? And the last one on that list that we tend to shy away from is the cost. But every   Kiera (08:47) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (08:50) day I tell my teams, it truly doesn't matter if it's 6,000 or 60,000. I know I maybe exaggerated that a little bit, but it's about fitting it in their budget and finding them away. So when you take that pressure off yourself and realize we're tying it back to what they really walked in the door for.   and help them again as that guide to getting what they want. Truly the money is just about finding a way to fit it in their budget. And if we have the tools in our tool belt to do that, it makes it so easy.   Kiera (09:23) Mm-hmm. Well, and like you said, Kristy, it's it's just finding the solution, right? Everything we want in life, we figure it out. We find a way. Like people want to buy a car, so what do they do? They figure out how to pay for it. It's just tying it back to something that they want, need, and deserve. I will throw that like and deserve. I think so many patients don't feel like they deserve, they deserve to have a healthy mouth. They deserve to get this beautiful smile back. And I think actually like   Our   mouths are slightly hidden and they can be hidden. Like you can keep your mouth more closed. You don't have to smile in photos. but the confidence that you have to be able to be unapologetically smiley and to have confidence in your teeth and your smile and your breath and your health and all of that is a gift that I don't think that we realize because in dentistry we just do this day in, day out. but I was the girl who had my smile completely obliterated by someone in my life, and I didn't have that confidence anymore.   And I know what it feels like to be able to speak with confidence and to have my smile perfect and to speak where you don't feel as confident. And I will say that people might give you the push of finance at the top. And I just want to say, like, whenever, like to me, I don't know how you feel, Kristy. To me, objections are just a way for me, like, I haven't educated them enough. And there's just a question. That's all an objection is, is it's just a a a question packaged in a different way. So someone's like, it's cost. I'm like, fantastic. Let's talk about that.   Like, why am I taking this as you don't like me? Like we can make this up all day long, but instead it's just them giving me information. My job is to find the solution with them. There's always a solution. Let's talk about it. And I will promise you, every single one of you listening, and Kristy, you know this just as well as I do, it will never be cheaper or more predictable than it is today. So if it is cost, high five is the best day of your life because we get to make it like the most cost effective we possibly can.   We wait longer in dentistry, it just gets more expensive. That's how it works, that's how it operates. And also, like we lose our options and our our choice the longer we wait. And so let's take care of it now. Let's get it taken care of. And really, like you said, Kristy, they're here at the dentist. Like they chose to come. There's a reason they're here. So I think for us, like, I feel like thinking about cost as an objection is just a pair of sunglasses of a filter you choose to put on. And I'm like, what if I put on the filter of   Every patient wants to say yes to me today. What if I put on the filter of everyone's here and they want to get something done today? What if I put on the filter of everybody has like finances? I'm gonna help them find the way to make this like fit within their budget. I feel we get to choose these pairs of sunglasses, aka filters every day when we walk into the office. And for a lot of you, you might be picking up this like, people don't like insurance, people have this. Like, you're choosing to put on the black sunglasses, the dark gray sunglasses, the brown sunglasses.   Well, there's a whole other pair of sunglasses of yellow and green and pink and purple that are brighter, that are lighter, that are also available for you. And I don't think that that's just like Mary Poppins over here skipping through life. I know it's an actual fact because treatment planning and presenting and talking about finances is 80% the what you think about, 20% skill. It's not   DAT- Kristy (12:31) Yeah.   Kiera (12:31) the reverse. And I think so many people think it's 80% skill, 20% like how you think.   Kristy, break that down. Do you agree with that? 'Cause I do, but that could be Kiera's like la la land over here that I live in.   DAT- Kristy (12:41) Yeah, no, I 1000% agree with you. I'm I'm gonna age myself a little bit here, Kiera, because I remember when I first got into dentistry, crowns were three hundred and eighty-five dollars at the office hours. And yeah, I mean yeah, a hundred percent, right? But   Kiera (12:51) my gosh. It's okay. How much were haircuts, Kristy?   DAT- Kristy (12:59) with that, you know, the same patients that today when you say fifteen hundred dollars for a crown, they said the same thing back then. It's so expensive.   Kiera (13:08) Yep.   DAT- Kristy (13:09) And you said something earlier.   My favorite comeback is you are worth it. You are   Kiera (13:14) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (13:15) worth it. I I literally maybe only had one person ever tell me, No, I'm not. I'm gonna die tomorrow. But I said, But you're gonna die with a healthy smile, right? And you know, truly people will go spend three thousand dollars on a couch and not bad an eye. So   Kiera (13:29) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (13:30) when you turn it about them and what they really came in for, what they want, and find that solution to get them.   It it's just a win win and it's so rewarding as a treatment coordinator to have that relationship with the patient because once you do it one time, they come back to you, they look for you, they know your name, they know you're gonna help them get what what they want in the end.   Kiera (13:54) Mm-hmm. You're exactly right. And I think Kristy, like so many people don't realize that they're worth it. And like you said, like people are willing to shell out money left and right. Like it's wild. I don't know if people have seen the memes, they or the reels. They make me giggle when it's like the patient who's asking for the discount and they're driving like all these amazing, like beautiful cars, huge house. And I like to me that just like that cracks the code of our limiting beliefs.   Their beliefs   DAT- Kristy (14:19) Yeah.   Kiera (14:20) that we've chosen to pick up. Like I feel like they're pebbles in my pocket, their beliefs in my pocket. What beliefs am I putting in? Because it's a lot of times like I'm I'm projecting, I'm putting my own assumptions on other people when that's not real. I have a friend going through a pretty severe medical situation and we were talking about it. And one of our other friends was just like a hot mess express. And my friend was like who's going through the actual medical issue, she's like, That friend's projecting on me. Like   I actually don't feel any of that. But that friend saying, like, I'm sure you're so scared, or I'm sure you're so this or that. And she's like, I'm none of those, but she's projecting on me. And I think going into our financial pieces, how many times are we projecting our own limiting beliefs? Like you might think that Starbucks is expensive, but for someone, Starbucks is just part of their daily budget. Like that's that's that's just it's like brushing our teeth. They don't even bat an eye at it. Like you said, they're willing to drop money on a couch, they're willing to do this. It's the value of what people value. And so   For me, it'd be another question of how can you create more value of dentistry? I will tell you as a girl who's had her smile be available and not available, it is one of the greatest gifts you can ever give a patient. And maybe that's why I'm so like passionate about this topic, is because I'm like, I know what that feels like to not feel confident, to not feel like your smile is your own, to not feel comfortable talking to people, to not like I'm modeled for half of my life. Like, you want to believe like.   I I very uncomfortable in my own skin. And so to have that taken away and stripped away is something that I feel we don't if you've never had that taken away from you, you don't even know the gift you're able to give somebody, but I do. And so it's like, let's give that value of the health, like whatever it is. For some people, it's health. For some people, it's guys, I want to look really good in my coffin. Like I'm not gonna lie to you. I am such a vain human. Like I want my teeth to be pretty. I want to look gorgeous. I'd be your 90-year-old, like getting like veneers, braces.   Please don't limit that because you wouldn't pay for it. Like, if that's not your job, but your job is to present it to me. Your job is to find solutions with me. And your job is to help me see the value and what this is. And like Kristy said, to show me that I'm worth it, that I'm deserving of that. And that I agree, Kristy, is the best comeback. Like, no person is going to deny that. And that's probably one of the few places that they've heard that they're worth this treatment. And I also just want to break down like such a limiting belief.   Dentistry, we think is so expensive. Like when you said $1,500, I'm do you want to know how much it is to get Scorpion anti-venom serum? Like that stuff is like, I think it's $10,000 a teeny tiny vial. And you have to have three of those minimum. That's $30,000. That's expensive. Like, let's please put into like the scale of expense. Like medical   DAT- Kristy (17:01) Mm-hmm.   Kiera (17:01) bills are very expensive. $1,500 for a crown that's gonna last you for the next, I don't know, five, 10, 15 years.   That is a very low cost to be able to eat great subsidence for our body. Like, so again, please just please just also put that out there. There's financing options. You can do care credit. You can have other things. Please don't give them a smorgasborg. Like less is more. Let's make decisions very easy for them. Like, are we doing personal savings or do we want to talk financing options? Like, don't project and dump on them. Like let them choose from what it is. Perfect. Let's talk through this. Let's see where we're at. Let's come up with solutions that way you can afford this.   But I'm not going to project that onto them. I'm going to make them ask the questions. And I'm going to assume that they freaking just want dentistry done. Like, why not assume that? Like, I know this sounds so silly and Kristy and I are having a good giggle over here. But Kristy, I really think it's that black and white. Like you said, no one forces person to come to the dentist. They're at the dentist. They clearly want something done. Let's just find the solution to help them get it done. And to be confident and to assume they want to do that, finding the solutions, building the value, teaching them that they are worth it.   And   then putting on those sunglasses of those filters of that you're able you're able to get the dentistry done and let's just find the solution together. Those are my thoughts, Kristy. What are yours? I know this is my rant.   DAT- Kristy (18:17) Yeah, I agree with you, Kiera.   Yeah. I 100% agree with you. And I also challenge people to start at the comprehensive level. Cause many times we tap our patients out. We we say, we're gonna scare them with the number. We don't wanna like show everything up front. And we'll just find a financial solution for this first phase. Sometimes you tap them out and they never come back for the rest. So again, if we put our advocate hat on and we go with the intent, like   purely in our heart. Our intent is to get you healthy and well. If you start at the hole, you can always go backward, but it's really hard to start with one tooth or one procedure and then go up comprehensively. I'll never forget, Kiera, the day I had a elderly lady come up and tell me about her fixed budget. I'm sure we've all heard those, right? And she had to have four   Kiera (19:07) Yes.   DAT- Kristy (19:09) crowns, one in every quadrant. And I was like, boy, how am I gonna fit this in $200 a month?   And you know, in the long run, I would have been better to find a solution to fix all four than to just start with the broken one. Because literally one month later, after we found the solution for the one, all I was doing was eating bread. Kristy and I was like, gosh, what am I gonna do? It's gonna be another payment,   Kiera (19:31) Mm.   DAT- Kristy (19:34) you know? So I also challenge people start at the hole and work backward. Cause again   As a advocate, our job is to help them get healthy. And if we can do it quicker, why would we not? You know, then   Kiera (19:49) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (19:49) then we've achieved and I always like to use a litmus test. What's best for the practice, best for the patient? If you can answer   Kiera (19:55) Mm-hmm. I agree.   DAT- Kristy (19:56) yes to that, we've done well.   Kiera (19:58) Mm-hmm. And I think people often get a little funny on that. And they think, like, if it's best for the practice, then it's not best for the patient. And I'm like, no, there is a world where it's both. It's an and, not an or. It's best for both of us. It's best for each other. And I just I agree with you, Kristy. I throw this out of I do believe it's our moral obligation to tell patients really what's going on, not what we think   DAT- Kristy (20:20) Mm-hmm.   Kiera (20:20) they want to hear. Like I would be so angry, and I am still angry. Do you know how many hygienists never offered me fluoride?   Like I'm still angry about it to this day because I'm like, that's the most proactive preventative thing that I can ever do for my mouth. And you chose because you didn't think I'd want it or you was afraid to talk money to me, that you never offered it to me. Like, how many other times do we just not offer to people that we don't tell them what's really going on? Like you said, give them the comprehensive plan. Now, with that said, dentists, when you're doing a comprehensive plan, please don't   Don't talk so many words that they get lost. And there's there's an art of being comprehensive and using it in patient jargon that they can understand. So being very clear of perfect, here's everything going on. Your next visit's going to be this. This is when I want to see you back. Like this is the whole plan for treatment coordinators. Here's the whole plan. We're going to start with phase one. We're going to schedule out phase one, phase two, phase three, phase four. Like, let's make it very simple for them. Please don't get into the like.   All right, we're gonna do like seven crowns and it's gonna take 17 hours. Like they they don't need to know all that. They just need to know like where do we start? What's what does what does complete look like? also when they know about what the total is going to be, but also that we're able to break it down if they need to. Like, let's break it down. We're we're gonna do this in chunks. I do the same thing with implants, like our implants are 25, 70 grand. Like we have an office that does 150,000 per like full mouth, so it's 75,000 per arch.   some of you might be listening, like, my gosh, like, yes, guys, this is real. Like they really can do this. And they really do. And they have several patients that say yes to them. Again, I think it's your value. I think it's your confidence. I want people to realize they're buying your confidence. So you being confident in your treatment planning where you're doing it out of moral obligation and what's ultimately best for the patient. Patients trust, they believe, and they know you're genuine. That's how this doctor's able to charge 75 grand per arch for doing it.   He's a phenomenal dentist. Like I would trust him too. I'd pay for him over several others that are much cheaper than him. People, there are some that want to go for the cheapest. but I think that most people, when they look at their mouths, they recognize that it is an investment. They recognize that it is a and I think if you can present it that way and you can show them that this is long term preventative for you and it's long term care for you. I think people are able to see that. It's much better than even like your couch analogy. Couches like wear out.   And you have to replace them. Your teeth do   DAT- Kristy (22:42) Sure.   Kiera (22:43) wear out, but they have a lot longer lifespan on them than others. So, Kristy, I think it's a brilliant way to talk about comprehensive as well.   DAT- Kristy (22:50) thank you. And you know, true truly, Kiera, it it is an investment in their health. And I hope that and I challenge people to even speak that way, you know, use use power words instead of out of pocket. And I always share with my teams, like I literally see a guy with his pocket hanging out. Like   Kiera (23:07) Right.   DAT- Kristy (23:08) you're sending a negative connotation. Say, you know, and and the total is this.   Kiera (23:14) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (23:15) It's an investment into your health, you know.   Kiera (23:17) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (23:18) And   I'm here to find a solution with you. So I I love it. It it definitely is a passion. And like I said, when you can meet the patient where they are, find what they want and tie it back, it's always a win. I was gonna share with you when you were talking earlier, you and people don't forget about the cosmetic things, just like the fluoride. I'm with you, Kiera. I don't have a problem with decay, but if they don't offer me, I'm not coming back because I feel like you haven't really treated me, you know. But I was   Kiera (23:46) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (23:47) gonna share.   My mother-in-law, she was playing cards and she had always come to the office that I worked at. And and one day she left and came back for the hygienist because she loved the hygienist. And doctor comes in my office like, and I'm like, What? You never offered, you never asked her. She had this bright, sparkly front bridge, and nobody ever stopped, even when they got her healthy, to say, Hey, what you're doing at home's great. Now's the time to ask.   Is there anything you'd like to change about the shape, size, and color for your teeth? So going back to what you said, it's our job to share the possibilities. And again, it takes the pressure off of us because the patient's always in the driver's seat. They get to say   Kiera (24:30) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (24:30) yes or no. And it's okay.   Kiera (24:32) Mm-hmm. Kristy, I love that. I love that it's why are we not sharing more? I think people are so afraid that you're going to overwhelm. And I'm like, whatever you think is what people will feel. So if you think you're   DAT- Kristy (24:43) Mm-hmm.   Kiera (24:44) going to overwhelm them, you're going to overwhelm them. If you think you're pushing on them, you're going to. There is another pair of sunglasses, aka filter, if you want to. Like Kristy said, like, give them the options. Do you know how many people I wish would just fix my lateral for me? Like now, all of you are going to look at it. Don't worry. I'm taking contributions. You want to like.   Fix my ortho for me. I will happily be your patient. No one talks to me about it. Cause they assume Kiera's teeth are beautiful. She works in dentistry. I do love my teeth, but I would love to just do a slight correction on that, but no one asks. And so again, like talking to them about possibilities, just letting them know like patients in the driver's seat, they don't have to, but if they never know what it is, right? To me, it's almost like dreams and goals and and big ideas.   The reason we achieve things is because we've seen them from someone else. We've seen that someone has the house or the car or the life or the kids or the nanny or the healthy fitness or the whatever it is. We've all seen somebody that has it and therefore we want to achieve it. If we don't even know it exists and we don't know it's a possibility, guess what? They'll be talking to their friends and then they come back and they're like, Dr. Johns did my like whole mouth. And you're like, Well, we do that too. You didn't choose to share. So when it comes to finances, when it comes to talking these things, I think my whole overarching thing is like,   Let's put on the filters and assume the best. Let's share with people. Kristy, it was absolutely a fantastic podcast. There were so many nuggets in here. Kristy, you're so easy for me to podcast with because you and I just have so much passion for it. So we just rally. But Kristy, I just want to say thank you for sharing your perspectives. And I hope everybody picks up one or two nuggets, one or two perspectives, one or two beliefs, and you implement today. You can sit here all day long. You might have heard this before, but you can pick up one of these tools, try it out today, try it on for size, like get a little uncomfortable in the in the new realm.   And try it out because I promise you, those patients need you, they're coming to you, they trust you, and you have a moral obligation to help and serve them. Kristy, any last thoughts as we wrap up today?   DAT- Kristy (26:35) No, the only thing I say is please share your wins. We want to hear your stories.   Kiera (26:39) Absolutely.   Reach out Hello@TheDentalATeam.com if you need help getting your team on board. Kristy's a freaking dynamite, amazing at doing this. Our consulting team is absolutely incredible. So reach out Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. As always, thank you, Kristy. Thank you all. Thanks for listening. And I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.

Could some of the symptoms you've learned to live with — brain fog, fatigue, headaches, hormonal changes, or simply not feeling like yourself — have less to do with what's happening inside your body and more to do with the environment you're living in? In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with Ariana Thacker, chemical engineer and founder and CEO of MoldCo, whose own unexpected health crisis led her to investigate one of the most overlooked environmental factors affecting our health: mold exposure. We talk about why mold-related illness can be so difficult to recognize, why conventional testing often completely misses it, and the surprising reason two people living in the exact same home can have completely different experiences. Ariana also challenges some of the biggest assumptions we have about where mold exists — including why newer homes aren't necessarily in the clear. We explore the emerging connections researchers are seeing between our environments and everything from brain and immune health to hormones, metabolism, and chronic illness. And Ariana shares what she wishes she had known before getting sick, how to begin thinking differently about the health of your home, and why mold may only be one piece of a much bigger environmental conversation.   If you've ever had symptoms you couldn't quite explain, wondered whether your home could be affecting how you feel, or simply want to know what may be hiding in the places you spend the most time, this conversation will change the way you look at your environment — and your health.

BONUS: When the Team Becomes the Operating System for AI — Marko Taipale on the Twin Project at Solita Most teams trying to "use AI" end up with fast individuals and a slower system. Marko Taipale ran a two-year experiment at Solita that suggests the real bottleneck isn't the tool — it's the team's operating model. In this conversation, Vasco and Marko walk through the Twin Project with ISS Finland — two teams, same ERP pricing tool, one classical agile, one with generative AI in the room — and the lessons that became the CollabAI framework. The Twin Project — Two Teams, Same Product, One With AI in the Room "We had a luxury of: do whatever you want with AI, please get at least the same results, towards the same goal."   In 2024, Marko's team at Solita was set up as the counterpart to an existing Scrum team building an ERP pricing tool for ISS Finland. Same product mission, two different operating models. The first days were chaotic and exploratory — the team tried over 120 AI tools, built a custom GPT to act as a stand-in product owner, and even sent a virtual assistant to sit silently in the other team's meetings so nobody from Marko's team had to attend. The framework grew out of what kept working, not from a plan written upfront. "Fast Individuals, Slow System" — Why Buying Licenses Doesn't Fix the Bottleneck "If you don't change your structures, AI won't do anything faster. The only thing that gets faster is the queues between your decision-making gates."   The line from Marko's book lands hard once you have seen it inside a team. A Copilot license speeds up the individual — and then the individual sits and waits for the rest of the system: reviews, handoffs, refinement, stakeholder meetings. Those queues are exactly what AI accelerates, and the team feels even more frustrated than before. The real intervention is upstream, in how the team shares context and makes decisions together. Without that, AI just makes the existing inefficiency more obvious. Drifting in the Solution Space — Why Sense-Making Has to Happen Together "None of the real problems are so simple that a single person can solve them. If it's that simple, you should automate it."   The early Twin Project team kept seeing what Marko calls drifting — small interpretive mistakes at the start of a task that twisted the solution into something unrecognisable later. Each person was reading the same docs and the same proxy-PO conversations, and each was leaving with a slightly different picture. Individual interpretation was not enough. They moved from individuals to pairs, then to whole-team sense-making sessions. The shared context only became useful when the team processed it together — and that processing turned out to be where the learning compounded. Never Leave the Daily — When Mob Programming Becomes the Operating System "This is happening so fast, we shouldn't actually leave the daily."   The team started with vanilla Scrum, extended dailies, then ran multiple per day, then realised that the meeting was the work. They drifted into mob programming without naming it — a shared virtual machine where one person controlled the screen at a time, switching every few minutes. The agile labels came later, when someone read Mob Programming by Woody Zuill (see his earlier episodes on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast) and saw the team's own behaviour reflected back. The takeaway: when the pace of decisions exceeds the cadence of meetings, the team has to live inside the conversation, not visit it once a day. The 40-Prototypes Moment — When the Customer Joined the Mob "You waited 37 hours to get to this point where we get feedback."   This was the turning point. Marko had built 40 different prototypes of the pricing tool in one hour, then walked into a weekly review where the customer pointed out the obvious: if the prototypes took one hour to make, the team had been waiting 37 hours to get the feedback that actually mattered. From that moment the client became part of the mob. New product directions started landing every five to seven minutes. The backlog quietly disappeared — issue management stayed, but for the AI's context, not for humans. When the product owner is in the room all day, the storage-and-handover layer stops earning its keep. The Regulation Layer — Why Sustainable Pace Gets Sharper, Not Softer, With AI "AI is a machine. It won't stop. That's why we need a regulation layer — and we have to regulate together, not individually."   What broke first in the Twin Project was not the technology — it was the people. Cognitive load and the brain's hunger for clarity become the new constraint once decisions are flying every few minutes. The old Scrum idea of sustainable pace gets a second life here, but it has to be a shared pace, set by the team, not an individual one. Engagement is the early warning signal — when people start disengaging, the system is already over its capacity. For Scrum Masters and coaches, this is where the work moves: watching the team's energy curve, not just its throughput. The Agentic Horizon — From Teammates to Agents Acting on the Team's Behalf "AI is a new player in this field. The next conversation is governance — and it has to start now."   CollabAI was about humans and AI on one screen. The next move — what Marko is now building at Agion — is agents acting on the team's behalf. The governance shape is not optional, and it is the conversation Scrum Masters and coaches need to start having before agentic systems are everywhere on the team. Marko's article series on Agion (the brain fry posts) is the public record of what they are learning as they build the governance layer for autonomous agents. About Marko Taipale Marko Taipale is the author of CollabAI: AI Teamwork In Practice (foreword by Joe Justice) and currently works at Agion Inc. At Solita, he co-led the Twin Project with ISS — two teams building the same ERP pricing tool, one with classical agile, one with generative AI embedded end-to-end — and turned what they learned into a framework for teams that want AI as a synchronous teammate, not a faster individual tool.

Why does every diet eventually end with you back where you started? Ben Fudge says the problem was never your willpower. It was the plan. Ben Fudge, head coach of the Elite program at Trevor Kashey Nutrition and a former Army Ranger, reveals Cognitive Nutrition: a behavior-first method that turns new eating habits into skills that finally hold. He walks through the SRO model, why you track before you target, and how to stay calm when the cookie is right in front of you. Meet our guest Ben Fudge is the head coach of the Elite program at Trevor Kashey Nutrition (TKN). A former Army Ranger with four overseas deployments, he brings military-grade discipline and structure to coaching built on TKN's Cognitive Nutrition method, developed by Dr. Trevor Kashey. Ben has helped clients lose over 100 pounds in a single year and coaches high-performing men to match their body to the life they have already built.

Behavior change, not willpower, is what makes new habits stick. The SRO model (Stimulus, Response, Outcome) inserts time and space before you react. Track everything to the gram first, before setting any target. Fix protein and calories, then run the big four: sleep, hydration, nutrition, activity. One slip is not total failure. Do not slash the other three tires over one flat. Rehearse high-risk moments ahead of time instead of relying on willpower. Reinforce the behavior, not the outcome, and stop rewarding yourself with food Episode highlights 0:00 Why calling it a 'diet' guarantees you quit 1:20 What cognitive nutrition actually is 7:21 The SRO model: stimulus, response, outcome 12:56 Start by tracking everything 17:24 The big 4: sleep, hydration, nutrition, activity 35:26 Rehearse the party before you walk in 1:02:11 How to work with Ben Fudge & TKN Links Watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zhM0SDa5-gM  Full episode show notes: https://outliyr.com/276 Connect with Nick on social media Instagram Twitter (X) YouTube LinkedIn Easy ways to support Subscribe Leave an Apple Podcast review Suggest a guest Do you have questions, thoughts, or feedback for us?

How much of your week disappears into questions other people could already answer? If nothing moves until you weigh in, the business runs at your speed and no faster.Martin and Khalil work through three questions listeners sent in: what a new hire actually costs before they generate a dollar, how an owner stops being the dumping ground for every decision, and whether it's normal that the owner works the most hours. The answers keep landing in the same place. Most owners delegate the task and keep the responsibility.If you're trying to buy back your week without anything hitting the floor, this one's worth your drive home. The owners who fix it stop carrying the whole business in their head.Key Topics & Timestamps00:48 - AI Is Like the Internet02:14 - Privacy and Connected Data04:01 - Health Scares and Stress Tests08:54 - Insurance Costs for Owners14:27 - Hiring Math and Seasonal Labor27:29 - Clarity in Hiring30:41 - Owner as Decision Bottleneck35:45 - Work Less Delegate ProfitablyMemorable QuotesDelegation is a capital investment. It costs you now in time, effort, training. Once it's paid, the machine just starts to run" — Martin"You've gotta be able to delegate responsibility and not just tasks." — Khalil"As long as you're willing to answer the questions, they're never gonna ever quit asking." — Martin"There are too many businesses, small businesses out there where the owner works the most and gets paid the least." — Khalil"You can't be their relief valve." — MartinKey TakeawaysBuild the all-in number before you make the offer. Wage and overtime are just the start, and benefits, paid time off, software, and equipment push a $65,000 salary close to $95,000. The offer letter never shows you that.Managing a new person eats a slice of your own week, so count that slice before you hire. It comes straight out of the time you were trying to buy, and owners who skip the math wonder why nothing got easier.Before you sign a salesperson, name the margin they have to bring in. Martin's rule of thumb is about three times what they cost you all in. Then look hard at whether the territory can actually produce it.Answer a question with a question. Point people back to the manual, the job description, or the contract. As long as you keep handing out answers, they'll keep coming to get them.Hand over a whole area, with the context behind it, the end state you want, who to call besides you, and when to escalate. Skip any of those and it lands back on your desk.Decide which two or three areas genuinely need you, then name someone else as the point person on everything else. They can sit outside the company. You still carry the responsibility, you just stop being the first phone call.A lot of owners can't fund help at the prices they're charging today. Fix the pricing first, and hiring the person who gets you out of the truck stops being a someday thing.ResourcesCrowdHealthPeter Lohmann⁠Quo⁠Need help with podcast production?

Pete Sacco has spent 30 years building the physical infrastructure — data centers, power systems, and hardware — that AI runs on. In this conversation, he argues the AI threat is overstated, not because it isn't transformative, but because it forces humans to reclaim what machines can't replicate: wisdom and discernment. Pete and Jeff dig into why founders need to embrace AI rather than fear it, the coming shift toward decentralized energy and compute, the misconceptions around data centers and water usage, how to separate real AI investment opportunities from hype, and his vision of a post-scarcity world where energy and labor approach zero cost.Key Takeaways2:19 — The one skill AI can't replicate: humans are "beings of discernment and wisdom," not calculators — that's the edge to protect.8:00 — Why the calculator analogy holds: AI won't erode critical thinking any more than calculators erased our ability to do math, if we use it consciously.12:48 — On creativity: Pete pushes back on the idea that AI kills creativity — "I'm 100 times more creative" because of the tool, not despite it.15:56 — AI as mirror: it will serve as "a mirror that's going to allow us to improve ourselves more fundamentally than ever before in human history."31:02 — The real bottleneck behind failed AI initiatives (per MIT): not the technology — organizational inefficiency.34:36 — On retooling teams: the four levels every employee needs — using chat, using skills, using agentic AI, and managing machines alongside people.36:05 — The post-scarcity vision: inside 50 years, the base cost of products and services could be "driven to zero" as energy and labor become virtually free.26:02 — Data center water myth debunked: total data center water use is a fraction (1/2000th) of what's used growing alfalfa for cattle feed in the U.S.30:19 — Pete's franchise model: Graywolf Data Centers — building small, tokenized, decentralized 2–20 megawatt data centers instead of massive centralized ones.43:55 — What most founders should be asking: are you embracing decentralization and retooling your people, or clinging to old, centralized ways of working?44:56 — The autonomous-vehicle prediction: "five, maybe eight years away from never driving cars again."Tweetable Quotes"We are beings of discernment and wisdom, embodied in consciousness itself." — Pete Sacco"AI will be the technology that serves as a mirror that's going to allow us to improve ourselves more fundamentally than ever before in human history." — Pete Sacco"We don't connect with data, we connect with people." — Pete Sacco"If you're a shitty data center owner, you're gonna be a shitty cloud owner too." — Pete Sacco"AI is going to out-compute you at almost everything... but what it can't do is know what's actually worth doing. That is called wisdom." — Jeff Mains"The doomers are 0 for 500 years. What makes us think that this is the year that they're right?" — Pete SaccoSaaS Leadership LessonsProtect discernment, not just headcount. As AI absorbs computation and pattern recognition, the scarce resource inside your company becomes judgment — hire and train for it.Diagnose failure correctly. Most "failed AI initiatives" aren't tech failures — they're organizational ones. Fix workflows and structure before blaming the tools.Retool your people in layers. Move teams through the four stages: basic chat use, skills, agentic workflows, and eventually managing hybrid human/machine teams.Decentralize before you're forced to. Whether it's compute, energy, or ownership, the founders who build flexible, distributed infrastructure now will out-adapt centralized competitors later.Invest (and lead) on conviction, not just data. Pete's biggest bets came from gut instinct paired with a disciplined thesis (AI infrastructure, decentralization, longevity) — not spreadsheets alone.Sell people on the outcome, not just the tool. Adoption stalls when leaders push AI as a mandate; it accelerates when they frame it as freedom — more time, more creative capacity, less drudgery.Guest Resourcespete@petesacco.comhttps://www.petesacco.com/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573911350074https://www.linkedin.com/in/petertsacco/https://www.instagram.com/petesaccoofficial/https://x.com/PeteSaccoCEOEpisode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/https://jeffmains.com/books/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

What if bad credit isn't the real problem—but a symptom of not understanding how money, credit, leverage, and banking relationships actually work?Haitian CEO joins Ash Cash inside the vault for a wealth-building masterclass on how everyday people can use credit strategically, build relationships with banks, access business funding, acquire cash-flowing assets, and eventually move from relying on personal credit to letting the business stand on its own.After earning a master's degree and making $39,000 a year, he discovered mentorship, business funding, and the power of leveraging the bank's money. Since then, he says he has helped everyday people secure more than $100 million in funding while building Bella Sloan Enterprises and Bella Sloan Academy.In this episode, Haitian CEO breaks down credit scores, banking relationships, credit card stacking, CDFI and SBA lending, business acquisitions, and why getting funding is only the beginning.The real goal? Cash flow.He shares how he used leverage to purchase real estate, how a Cleveland duplex helped him replace part of his job income, and why buying existing businesses from retiring owners could create major opportunities for the next generation of entrepreneurs.The conversation also dives into mentorship, delegation, AI, systems, and legacy. Haitian CEO explains how hiring the right operator helped him reach his first million-dollar year, how one mentee grew to $40 million in assets, and the financial blueprint he wants to pass down to his daughters and grandchildren.This episode is bigger than credit.It's about learning the rules, creating leverage, buying assets, building cash flow, and having the discipline to execute.Connect with Haitian CEO: Instagram: @haitian_ceo YouTube: Bella Sloan EnterprisesConnect with Inside the Vault: Instagram: @insidethevault InsideTheVaultShow.comHosted by Ash Cash: Instagram: @iamashcash IAmAshCash.comABUNDANCE IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT.Join Ash Cash and a community focused on building wealth, increasing income, strengthening your mindset, and creating a more abundant life:TheAbundanceCommunity.comEPISODE TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Cash flow is king 00:59 – Ash Cash book CTA 02:00 – Welcome to Inside the Vault 03:44 – Meet Haitian CEO 05:10 – From a $39K salary to the funding business 06:23 – Discovering $50K in business funding 08:33 – Using leverage to fund your dreams 09:20 – When the business becomes the asset 10:06 – Credit scores & banking relationships 10:23 – The strategy behind $50K–$100K in funding 11:03 – Credit card stacking explained 11:28 – Fix your credit before seeking funding 11:44 – Using AI to review your credit report 13:26 – Credit specialists vs. AI 14:31 – Build bank relationships while repairing credit 15:08 – Which credit bureaus banks pull 15:56 – Moving beyond personal guarantees 16:32 – Buying businesses instead of starting one 16:56 – The baby boomer business wealth transfer 17:52 – Using SBA financing to purchase cash flow 18:27 – Improve the business with AI, then flip it 19:09 – “This is a masterclass on how to build wealth” 20:04 – Your 9-to-5 can be your first business partner 21:48 – Funding is the vehicle; cash flow is the goal 23:04 – “Cash is not king.

Anthony Clavenna used to fly across the country with $30,000 in cash stuffed in a backpack just to buy trucks off strangers, and he says that scrappy, no-safety-net approach is exactly what let him outpace giants like Carvana and CarMax at buying cars off the street. He walks through the moment the business finally graduated from cash runs to wires and a private app, how a single fraud incident gets baked into the process as a new checkpoint instead of a reason to slow down, and argues that speed, not technology or capital, is the real edge in wholesale.

Credit repair has a crime problem, and the shortcuts being sold as legal are federal crimes with real prison time behind them. In this episode, Daniel Rosen names the top five and shows you the legal disputes that actually work for your clients. Join Our FREE Start Repairing Credit Challenge: HERE The FTC just shut down a credit repair operation that took nearly $200 million from consumers, partly by filing fake identity theft reports on clients who never even asked for them. Daniel walks through the five scams that keep landing new business owners in trouble: CPNs and synthetic profiles, credit sweeps, rented tradelines, jamming the bureaus, and coaching a client to lie. Every one of them is the same lie wearing a different costume. For each scam, you get the legal move that actually works. Pull all three reports, separate the accurate items from the inaccurate ones, and write factual disputes backed by real documentation. When a bureau stonewalls you, escalate to the CFPB and get it on the record. Real removals hold up, because there is no honest shortcut that erases accurate, current information from a credit report. If you are just getting started, this is the episode that makes sure nobody can ever sell you a "loophole" again. Daniel has spent 20 years in this industry, and he lays out why the honest work is the only work that survives, for your clients and for your business. Whether you are running your first disputes or scaling a full team, you will know how to spot a scam on sight and exactly what to do instead. Tune in! P.S.

George talks with UK-based voiceover engineer and demo producer Henry Willard about the rise of virtual engineering and why more actors are bringing their own engineers into remote directed sessions. Henry explains how having someone handle recording, playback, timing, and client requests can free the actor to stay where they belong: in the performance. They also explore Henry's approach to creating authentic commercial demos, why overproducing auditions can backfire, the never-ending battle with mouth noise, common home-studio mistakes, and the realities of producing audiobooks by hand in an increasingly automated world. And because two audio engineers can only behave themselves for so long, there's plenty of talk about Pro Tools, headphones, plugins, noise reduction, Macs vs. PCs, and keeping your processing chain simple.

Every story carries a worldview—and every day, those stories are shaping what we believe, what we love, and ultimately how we live. In Episode 366 of Fearless with Mark & Amber, we're sharing our “Lights, Camera, Worldview” presentation from the Worldview Matters conference in Green Bay. We unpack what God has taught us through nearly eight years of filmmaking and ministry: media doesn't simply inform us—it forms us. The question isn't whether we're being discipled, but who or what is discipling our hearts? We share the story behind Fearless Features and the journey that took us from Inwood Drive to The Mind Polluters, Dysphoria, Title IX: Demoralizing America, and now Principalities: Doctrine of Demons. Along the way, we've learned that the cultural battles surrounding life, sexuality, identity, education, and truth cannot ultimately be understood as merely political battles. There is a spiritual reality beneath what we're seeing. You'll also hear some of our own redemption story and why we're convinced that exposing darkness can never be the destination. Jesus Christ is. Our hope isn't found in winning a culture war. It's found in Christ—the One who rescues, redeems, renews the mind, and equips His people to walk courageously in truth. As we close, we give you a little homework for next week's episode: read Romans 12:2 in context. We're going to dig into what it really means to refuse conformity to the patterns of this world and instead be transformed by the renewing of our minds. “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2

If your child has eczema that keeps coming back, gets constipated for days at a time, or has had one ear infection after another, this episode is for you. These usually get treated as three separate problems by three different specialists. This week's guest, Dr. Sheila Kilbane says they are often one problem showing up in three places, and dairy is frequently part of it. She is a board certified pediatrician who trained in integrative medicine at the University of Arizona. She did not set out to change how she practiced. She just kept listening to moms who told her their child improved after cutting dairy, and eventually she went looking for why. In this episode she walks through the case that changed everything. She explains the cup of inflammation, which is the simplest way I have heard anyone describe why symptoms cluster. She covers what to do first, why she starts with magnesium, why you should never stop dairy cold turkey, and how to protect your child's bones while you do it. Your child is not a difficult case. Their cup is just full. Want more practical health tips?

NAD+ is not a peptide. That one fact changes how you should use it.Peptides send a signal. NAD+ is a coenzyme, meaning it does the work itself. There is no receptor to downregulate, so the cycling logic is completely different.In this one I walk through what NAD+ actually does inside the cell, what burns through it, and whether it really crashes with age. The decline is real. It is just far more modest and tissue specific than the biohacking world tells you. Skin drops hard. Brain drops 10 to 13 percent across a lifetime. Liver and muscle barely move at all.I also get into the uncomfortable part. Injected NAD+ probably does not enter your cells intact. Surface enzymes break it down first, which means you may be paying a lot to deliver precursors.Then we cover dosing tiers, subQ versus IM, cycling blocks, methylation, what to track, and the 5-Amino-1MQ combo I run at much lower doses.I am not an NAD+ expert and I say so upfront. This is my lens on where it fits and where it does not.Fix your foundations first. Then decide if you actually need it.⚠️ For research and entertainment purposes only. ⚠️

Send us Fan MailDo not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Romans 12:2 Why do we behave irrationally?Our strongest thoughts are steering our lives.What comes into your mind—Comes out in your life.Cannot have a positive life with a negative mind.Don't control what you think—Never control what you do. And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix yourthoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Phil 4:8 NLT  meditate on these things. Phil 4:8 NKJV Meditation: To engage in mental exercise; tofocus one's thoughts. I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. Ps 119:15 … I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done. Ps 143:5 What stronghold is holding you back?What truth demolishes that stronghold?Write it—Think it—Confess it—Until you believe it.Here is a Daily Confession of Faith for you to use!I am strong and mighty. I have the same power that raised Christ from the dead dwelling inside of me. I am a weapon of righteousness in a world of darkness. I am not my past. I am not what I did. I am who God says I am. He says I am forgiven. He says I am redeemed. He says I am free. I am not a hostage to unhealthy thoughts. The weapons I fight with are not the weapons of this world. I have divine power to demolish strongholds.  I have the mind of Christ directing my thoughts. I have the Word of God guiding my steps. I demolish every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God. I take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ.  My God has not given me a spirit of fear, but a Spirit of power, of love, and of a sound mind.  The Lord is my helper. I will not be afraid! Jesus is first in my life. I exist to serve and glorify Him.I love my wife and will lay down my life to serve her.My children will love God and serve Him with their whole hearts. I will nurture, equip, train, and empower the people around me to do more for His kingdom than they can imagine.I love people and believe the best about others.I am disciplined. Christ in me is stronger than the wrong desires in me.I am growing closer to Jesus every day. Because of Christ, my family is closer, my body is stronger, my faith is deeper, and my leadership is sharper.I am anointed, empowered, equipped and called to reach people far from God.I am creative, innovative, driven, focused, and blessed beyond measure—because the Holy Spirit dwells within me.(*) My words, thoughts, and imaginations are under the power of Christ. I take all thoughts captive and make them obedient to Christ.I wake up with purpose, direction, and meaning every day of my life.Pain is my friend. I rejoice in suffering because Christ suffered for me.I bring my best—and then some. It's what I bring after I do my best that makes the difference.The world will be different and better because I served Jesus today. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Discussion Questions:Have you ever had a moment where you thought, “Why did I do that? I know better than this.” What do you think was happening underneath the behavior?What experiences, messages, relationships, or repeated circumstances can create unhealthy “wiring” in the way we think?Sometimes dysfunctional thinking becomes so familiar that it feels normal. What are some thoughts people commonly accept as “just the way I am” that may actually need to be challenged?Why is taking control of our thoughts different from simply trying harder to behave better? Which part of the daily confessions resonates with you most this week?

Daily Boost Podcast Ambition vs Peace of Mind August 31, 2026 | Episode 5531 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description You set the goal. You hit the goal. And then you stand there, wondering why it doesn't feel the way you thought it would. I've watched that happen hundreds of times, and I finally figured out what's missing. It isn't ambition. It's the ground you're standing on when you launch. Today I'm walking you through what I call a peaceful base — the six areas that have to be solid before anything big you build will hold. Time. Body. Mind. Money. Relationships. Meaning. Go big. Just don't launch off a hot mess. Let's get your foundation right. Featured Story I brought this whole idea up with my wife over breakfast, and she asked me to explain it in a way she could actually feel. So I pointed at her laptop. Every single morning, before she eats, she flips it open and balances our books. House and business, both. She looks at the numbers, sees that we're fine, closes the laptop, and her whole day settles. I would never do that. It would drive me crazy. I don't touch it. But watching her that morning, something clicked for me. That laptop isn't bookkeeping. That's her ground. That's the thing she stands on before she does anything else. And most people don't have one. Important Points Your schedule serves you, or it serves everyone else. Control your time first, because it controls everything after. A peaceful base isn't a retirement plan. It's the active ground you build on so your big goals actually hold up. Six areas hold you up: time, body, mind, money, relationships, and meaning. Weak in one and the whole thing wobbles. Memorable Quotes We set the goal, we reach the goal, we accomplish the goal, and yet we don't get what we really, really wanted. You can't have a cool life on a hot mess. If you want to launch something big, you better have a solid foundation. If you don't control your time, you control nothing. And you can control your time. I know it's hard. Scott's Three-Step Approach Pick the one area of your base that feels shakiest right now — time, body, mind, money, relationships, or meaning. Fix that one with a small daily habit you'll actually stick to, like my wife balancing the books every single morning. Only then launch your big goal from that solid ground, and keep the base strong while you chase whatever you want. Chapters 0:14 - Why reaching the goal still leaves you empty 2:23 - The day I realized I only wanted peace of mind 2:46 - What a peaceful base is and why it holds you up 4:23 - Rocket launch pads and the size of your dreams 5:22 - My wife's ritual and taking back your time 9:35 - Money, relationships, and what anchors it all 11:53 - Start small today and let it compound for decades Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify Email: support@motivationtomove.com Main Website: https://motivationtomove.com YouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast Instagram: https://instagram.com/heyscottsmith Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomove Facebook Group: https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

Working more hours is not always the answer.Sometimes, exhaustion is a sign that the business is relying on the wrong person for the wrong work.In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why burnout often points to broken leverage—and how delegation, automation, and better systems can help founders reclaim their time and focus.If the CEO is constantly buried in low-value tasks, the company eventually pays the price.Your highest-value work should be centered on decisions, strategy, and opportunities that move the business forward.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why extreme fatigue can signal a lack of leverage• How low-value tasks can steal time from higher-level CEO decisions• Why delegation and automation can multiply your output• How better systems create more mental bandwidth for growthThe truth is simple:You cannot scale by personally carrying every task.Audit where your time is going.Delegate what someone else can handle.Automate what software can repeat.Protect your attention for the decisions only you can make.The goal is not to work the most hours.The goal is to build an operation where every hour produces more value.Fix the math.Build the leverage.Create the freedom.Your Network is your NETWORTH!Make sure to add me on all SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS:Instagram: https://jo.my/paulalex2024Facebook: https://jo.my/fbpaulalex2024YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGhDAD1JyGGzSQUPD9lc9HQLinkedIn: https://jo.my/inpaulalex2024Looking for a secondary source of income or want to become an entrepreneur?

The Law of CONTROL: whatever we try to FIX with control, we end up BREAKING even more.3 Areas Where Control Costs Us:1. Control breaks us PERSONALLY — Leads to EXHAUSTION and ANXIETY. Philippians 4:6Do not be anxious about anything…Philippians 4:6-7Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.1. The space INSIDE ME.Some Control 2. BETWEEN ME and PEOPLE. 3. The space BETWEEN ME and GOD.No Control 4. INSIDE OTHERS.1 Peter 5:2-3Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, watching over them — not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock." Peace isn't found in BEING IN CONTROL — it's found in TRUSTING THE ONE who is.CONTROL was never in your hands, but SURRENDER always is.Control costs us RELATIONALLY — Leads to BROKEN relationships. Genesis 16:1-2Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian slave named Hagar; so she said to Abram, “The Lord has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my slave; perhaps I can build a family through her." The Law of CONTROL: whatever we try to FIX with control, we end up BREAKING even more. When you hold on with FORCE, you ultimately FORCE AWAY.Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. John 15:5I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.Control costs us SPIRITUALLY.—It leads to a POWERLESS faith.Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God.Matthew 17:19-20 "Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, 'Why couldn't we drive it out?' He replied, 'Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, “Move from here to there,” and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.'"What you try to control the MOST reveals where you trust God the LEAST! Personally: exhaustion, and anxiety Relationally: broken relationships Spiritually: powerless faithYou don't have the power to CONTROL, but you always have the power to SURRENDER.THE SERENITY PRAYERGod, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

In this episode of the Industry Spotlight, joining host Sam D'Arc are Travis Siebert, SVP at DealerPay, and Kris Towle, Chief Accounting Officer at Niello Company to discuss why one of the auto industry's oldest processes, collecting cash and checks from parts and service customers, still costs dealerships money, time, and trust. They speak candidly about the safety risk of sending drivers out with cash, why most dealerships never question an outdated process until something goes wrong, and why live phone support, not just software, is what keeps a group this size from ever looking at another vendor. They explain: ◼ Why parts delivery drivers ended up doing accounting work they were never trained for ◼ How a single bounced check could cost a full week of chasing down payment ◼ Why missing cash on a delivery route became an uncomfortable question nobody wanted to ask ◼ Why the switch to mobile payments meant money was in the bank the very next morning ◼ Why Niello Company has never looked at another payments partner since making the switch This episode of the Car Dealership Guy Podcast is brought to you by DealerPay.

Agreements for Sale Explained: Real Seller Financing Deals With Zero Money Down Seller financing sounds almost too good to be true. An investor buys a property with little or none of their own money. The seller leaves financing in place. The investor operates the property, collects rent, benefits from cash flow and mortgage paydown, and eventually pays the seller out according to the terms of the agreement. In Canada, one strategy Wayne used extensively to accomplish this is an Agreement for Sale. In today's episode of the Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show, Wayne and Gabby continue yesterday's seller-financing discussion by breaking down two real Agreements for Sale Wayne negotiated himself. These are not hypothetical examples. They show how Agreements for Sale can work in the real world, why a seller might agree to one, how Wayne found these opportunities, what he listened for during conversations with sellers, and why the best Agreement for Sale deals create a legitimate win for both sides. As Wayne says: "If you understand the strategies, you'll recognize the opportunities."

If your face has gotten redder, more reactive and burning in your in your 40s or 50s (or your rosacea seems much worse), perimenopause rosacea could be an important piece of the puzzle. Emerging research suggests shifting hormone levels can trigger and also influence rosacea symptoms, including acne bumps, reactive skin, flushing, burning, stinging + increased skin sensitivity.Before you JUST blame this all on hormones, hormone-triggered rosacea must be looked at from a few different perspectives. In this episode, I'm diving into fascinating research connecting hormones, your gut microbiome + rosacea severity, plus what to consider when the usual rosacea fixes aren't giving you sustainable results.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references

Toughing it out is not resilience. Chronic pressure without recovery drains people, and the ones praised for coping are often closest to the edge.In this Better Moment, organisational psychologist Tasha Eurich takes apart the bounce-back myth: why "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is backwards, why resilience behaves like a budget rather than a personality trait, and why almost none of us can see the cost coming. Her research on self-awareness says 95 percent of us believe we can. Roughly 10 to 15 percent actually can.Her advice to leaders is structural, not motivational. Fix the load, not the person. Remove chronic stressors at source, design recovery in, and check on the people who look fine.Listen to the full conversation: https://youtu.be/MJ_rqzhEmts?si=CcQVF5_wyZYtgVxd Hosted on Acast.

Barb McQuade and Kimberly Atkins Stohr answer listener questions on everything from selective prosecution to the origins of the filibuster. They discuss how discrimination claimants can proceed given the current state of the EEOC, the lack of a federal duty to disclose a member of Congress's death, the distinction between prosecutorial discretion and selective prosecution, how the shadow docket differs from the full merits process, whether a newly convened special grand jury in D.C. might target Anthony Fauci or Jack Smith, and the historical roots of the filibuster rule as an obstructive tool rather than a way to force consensus.Freshen up your spring wardrobe!  Get the ReSIStance T-Shirt, Mini Tote, and other #SistersInLaw gear at politicon.com/merch! Additional #SistersInLaw Projects#SistersInLaw Main ShowJill's Politicon YouTube Show: Just The FactsKim's Newsletter: The GavelJoyce's new book, Giving Up Is Unforgivable, is now available, and for a limited time, you have the exclusive opportunity to order a signed copy here. Order Barb's new book, The Fix, or her first book, Attack From Within, now in paperback. Add the #Sisters & your other favorite Politicon podcast hosts on BlueskyGet your #SistersInLaw MERCH at politicon.com/merchWEBSITE & TRANSCRIPTEmail: SISTERSINLAW@POLITICON.COM or Thread to @sistersInLaw.podcastGet text updates from #SistersInLaw and Politicon. Mentioned By The #SistersOrder Barb's new book, The Fix, and get tickets for her book tour!Support This Week's Sponsors:DeleteMe:Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to joindeleteme.com/SISTERS and use promocode SISTERS at checkout.Lifepro Vibration Plates:Real movement.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Attorney S. Diane Clair. A Georgia-based attorney, real estate law professor at Kennesaw State University, and founder of a law practice specializing in real estate, estate planning, probate, business, and contract law. The discussion focuses on wealth building through real estate investing, asset protection, and estate planning strategies for generational wealth. Purpose of the Interview The primary purpose of the interview was to: Educate listeners about real estate investing opportunities, including lesser-known strategies such as tax liens and tax deeds. [ Stress the importance of working with qualified legal professionals instead of relying on Google, social media, AI tools, or generic legal templates. [ Promote wealth preservation through estate planning, particularly trusts and business structures. [ Encourage minority communities to create estate plans and pass wealth to future generations. [ Key Takeaways 1. Don't Rely Solely on Google, Social Media, or AI for Legal Advice Clair warns that many individuals attempt to create wills, trusts, and legal documents online without professional guidance. She emphasizes that legal matters require experienced attorneys because AI and internet sources may provide incomplete or incorrect information. Why it Matters Legal mistakes can create costly problems later. AI-generated content can be inaccurate. Estate planning and real estate transactions require professional review. 2. Real Estate Is a Powerful Wealth-Building Tool Clair argues that real estate remains one of the strongest ways to build and transfer wealth between generations. She highlights its relative stability compared to stock market fluctuations. Benefits Mentioned Builds long-term wealth Generates passive income Creates assets that can be inherited Helps achieve financial freedom [ 3. Start Real Estate Investing Through a Business Entity One of Clair's first recommendations is to establish a legal business structure before purchasing investment properties. Recommended Structures LLC Corporation Other formal business entities [ She repeatedly stresses that investment assets ideally should not be owned in an individual's personal name. 4. You Don't Need Large Amounts of Money to Invest A major myth she debunks is that real estate investing requires significant capital. Entry-Level Strategies Tax liens Tax deeds Foreclosure purchases Fix-and-flip projects Rental properties [ According to Clair, investors can begin with relatively small amounts by purchasing tax liens and earning interest when property owners redeem them. [ 5. Estate Planning Is Largely Ignored Clair shares a startling statistic: Approximately 64% of Americans do not have an estate plan. Among minorities, that number rises to about 70%. [ She believes the problem is educational rather than financial, noting that even wealthy celebrities frequently fail to plan their estates. 6. Trusts Are Better Than Wills for Many Situations Clair strongly favors trusts, especially irrevocable trusts, as vehicles for preserving wealth. Advantages of Trusts Avoid probate Potential tax benefits Asset protection Easier transfer of wealth Can operate while the creator is still alive Difference Between a Will and a Trust Will Takes effect after death Goes through probate court Directs distribution of assets Trust Can function during the owner's lifetime Avoids probate Can provide stronger protection and tax advantages [ 7. Asset Protection Is Essential Clair explains that trusts can own: Real estate Bank accounts Businesses Investments Other valuable assets Because the trust, rather than the individual, owns the property, there can be additional protection from lawsuits and claims. Notable Quotes On Legal Services Beyond Personal Injury Law "You can hire lawyers for way more, and we can assist you in way more." [ On Using AI for Legal Matters "AI is not really something you want to trust... It creates and makes up stuff." [ On Professional Guidance "You want to book a consultation with an attorney." On Real Estate Investing "A lot of people have that misconception that you have to have a lot of money to start investing in real estate, and that's not true." On Generational Wealth "Real estate is something that is the best thing to invest in and pass down to future generations." [ On Estate Planning "This is not a money thing... It's an education thing." [ On Trusts "The best estate planning instrument is always going to be a trust." On Asset Ownership "Don't have anything in your own name, have it in the name of the trust or in the business." Overall Message Attorney Diane Clair's central message is that wealth creation and wealth preservation must work together. Building assets through real estate is important, but equally important is protecting those assets through proper business structures, trusts, estate planning, and professional legal guidance. The interview encourages listeners, especially entrepreneurs and minority communities, to think long term about generational wealth, asset protection, and financial legacy rather than short-term gains.

Purpose of the Interview The primary purpose of the interview was to: Educate listeners about real estate investing opportunities, including lesser-known strategies such as tax liens and tax deeds. [ Stress the importance of working with qualified legal professionals instead of relying on Google, social media, AI tools, or generic legal templates. [ Promote wealth preservation through estate planning, particularly trusts and business structures. [ Encourage minority communities to create estate plans and pass wealth to future generations. [ Key Takeaways 1. Don't Rely Solely on Google, Social Media, or AI for Legal Advice Clair warns that many individuals attempt to create wills, trusts, and legal documents online without professional guidance. She emphasizes that legal matters require experienced attorneys because AI and internet sources may provide incomplete or incorrect information. Why it Matters Legal mistakes can create costly problems later. AI-generated content can be inaccurate. Estate planning and real estate transactions require professional review. 2. Real Estate Is a Powerful Wealth-Building Tool Clair argues that real estate remains one of the strongest ways to build and transfer wealth between generations. She highlights its relative stability compared to stock market fluctuations. Benefits Mentioned Builds long-term wealth Generates passive income Creates assets that can be inherited Helps achieve financial freedom [ 3. Start Real Estate Investing Through a Business Entity One of Clair's first recommendations is to establish a legal business structure before purchasing investment properties. Recommended Structures LLC Corporation Other formal business entities [ She repeatedly stresses that investment assets ideally should not be owned in an individual's personal name. 4. You Don't Need Large Amounts of Money to Invest A major myth she debunks is that real estate investing requires significant capital. Entry-Level Strategies Tax liens Tax deeds Foreclosure purchases Fix-and-flip projects Rental properties [ According to Clair, investors can begin with relatively small amounts by purchasing tax liens and earning interest when property owners redeem them. [ 5. Estate Planning Is Largely Ignored Clair shares a startling statistic: Approximately 64% of Americans do not have an estate plan. Among minorities, that number rises to about 70%. [ She believes the problem is educational rather than financial, noting that even wealthy celebrities frequently fail to plan their estates. 6. Trusts Are Better Than Wills for Many Situations Clair strongly favors trusts, especially irrevocable trusts, as vehicles for preserving wealth. Advantages of Trusts Avoid probate Potential tax benefits Asset protection Easier transfer of wealth Can operate while the creator is still alive Difference Between a Will and a Trust Will Takes effect after death Goes through probate court Directs distribution of assets Trust Can function during the owner's lifetime Avoids probate Can provide stronger protection and tax advantages [ 7. Asset Protection Is Essential Clair explains that trusts can own: Real estate Bank accounts Businesses Investments Other valuable assets Because the trust, rather than the individual, owns the property, there can be additional protection from lawsuits and claims. Notable Quotes On Legal Services Beyond Personal Injury Law "You can hire lawyers for way more, and we can assist you in way more." [ On Using AI for Legal Matters "AI is not really something you want to trust... It creates and makes up stuff." [ On Professional Guidance "You want to book a consultation with an attorney." On Real Estate Investing "A lot of people have that misconception that you have to have a lot of money to start investing in real estate, and that's not true." On Generational Wealth "Real estate is something that is the best thing to invest in and pass down to future generations." [ On Estate Planning "This is not a money thing... It's an education thing." [ On Trusts "The best estate planning instrument is always going to be a trust." On Asset Ownership "Don't have anything in your own name, have it in the name of the trust or in the business." Overall Message Attorney Diane Clair's central message is that wealth creation and wealth preservation must work together. Building assets through real estate is important, but equally important is protecting those assets through proper business structures, trusts, estate planning, and professional legal guidance. The interview encourages listeners, especially entrepreneurs and minority communities, to think long term about generational wealth, asset protection, and financial legacy rather than short-term gains.

What happens when you add AI to a business with bad systems? You don't magically get a better business. You may just break things faster. Jeff MacPherson, CEO of Cloud37, joins Matt Meehan and Luigi Rosabianca to talk about what AI can actually do for small businesses—and where founders keep getting it wrong. Jeff has spent years building tech, including an early Instagram automation platform that sent more than a billion messages before Facebook shut it down. Today, he helps companies turn what their best people know into repeatable systems that can scale. The big lesson? Stop chasing the newest AI tool. Fix the way your business works first.
