What really motivates a general dentist to refer to a specialist, and what causes them to avoid specific specialists? In this episode of Every Day Oral Surgery, we sit down with Dr. Victor Martel to get a GP's honest take on the referral process, communication between GP and specialists, and how to build better relationships. To get started, Dr. Martel shares advice for oral surgeons looking to strengthen their relationships with general dentists, including the power of lunch meetings and gifting. Next, we unpack the risks of referring too many specialists to patients before discussing the importance of clear, consistent, and personal communication between the GP and the specialist.

On behalf of women everywhere, this episode is dedicated to helping men understand why over 90% of women feel dissatisfied on special occasions like Mother's Day, birthdays, and anniversaries. Drawing from my clinical practice and conversations with clients and friends, I break down the five love languages framework as a practical tool for meaningful gift-giving. This isn't about expensive presents - it's about intention, effort, and showing that you've been paying attention. I walk through each love language with specific examples: the art of thoughtful gifting (beyond just buying something), creating quality time experiences, meaningful acts of service, physical touch that meets her actual needs, and words of affirmation that show you truly see her contributions. The episode includes practical tips like putting important dates in your calendar with advance alerts, understanding that preparation time is part of the gift, and why the entire day matters, not just one gesture. Essential listening for anyone who wants to show appreciation in ways that truly land.

In this episode, we tackle one of the most overlooked and impactful ways to give—through appreciated assets. Whether you're thinking about supporting your church or blessing a loved one, we break down how to give more wisely and tax-efficiently. This conversation was inspired by a listener from Marietta, and we couldn't resist diving deeper into this topic that stirs up both generosity and smart planning. Join Randy, Nic, and me (Aaron) as we explore two powerful angles: giving to charities versus giving to individuals. You'll hear real-life stories, key strategies to avoid unnecessary taxes, and tips on how to be generous without creating financial complications for your recipients. If you've ever wondered whether to write a check or gift appreciated stock instead—this episode's for you. Episode Timeline: [0:00] Welcome & Introduction [0:30] Two Paths for Giving: Cash vs. Appreciated Assets [1:08] Giving to Charity: The Charitable Version [2:09] Real-Life Example: Gifting to Family [4:16] Gift Tax Rules & Bracket Management [5:38] Special Considerations: Disabilities & Financial Aid [7:27] Generosity Spurs Generosity [8:24] Key Takeaways & Final Thoughts [8:54] Disclaimers & Contact Info Key Takeaways: Donating appreciated assets can help you avoid capital gains taxes and provide a bigger benefit to charities.

For those of you that are interested in giving, let's try to do so as tax efficiently as possible!  In this episode of Financial Clarity for Doctors, Rachelle Vanderzanden and Corey Janoff walk through a few ways you can give money to the causes that are near and dear to your heart and pay a little less in taxes at the same time.  Often, the larger the gift, the more tax benefits, but even small gifts can potentially have tax benefits. A few ways to get tax deductions for charitable contributions include: Smaller gifts to qualifying non-profits if you already itemize on your taxes. Gifting appreciated stock from non-qualified accounts. Gifting money to donor-advised funds. Setting up private foundations. Bequeathing money from a potentially taxable estate. Setting up a trust specifically for charitable giving. Some of your tax money may go to causes you support, but choosing your own causes can be much more rewarding and potentially lessen that tax burden.  Listen to the full episode to learn more!

In this episode of French Insider, Agathe Benoit, Chief Operating Officer and founding team member of Giftory, joins Sheppard Mullin attorneys Karl Buhler and Inès Briand to discuss the company's business model and the challenges of launching the “experience gifting” concept in the United States.   What We Discussed in This Episode: What is Giftory, what are its core offerings, and where does it operate? What motivated the company to expand into the corporate gifting and B2B market? What challenges have been faced in bringing the experience gifting concept to the U.S.? Given the concept of experience gifting is relatively unfamiliar in the U.S., how did you initially connect with providers, engage customers, and assemble a team? Does Giftory offer the same experiences across all locations, or do offerings vary by city and state? What criteria does the company use when deciding to partner with a provider? How does Giftory ensure a premium experience for both the gift giver and the recipient? What are the advantages of purchasing through Giftory, rather than directly from the provider? What key achievements and challenges stand out in the process of building and expanding the business? What advice would you offer others looking to launch a business in the United States?   About Agathe Benoit Before co-founding Giftory, Agathe Benoit served as Head of Seller Operations at Back Market, the global leader in refurbished technology. There, she led a team of 20, overseeing critical areas such as sales, seller engagement, support, communications, and partnerships. Her leadership was instrumental in strengthening seller relations and achieving operational success. Previously, she spent six years as a Senior Engagement Manager at McKinsey & Company, advising clients on complex business challenges and strategic initiatives across multiple industries. Earlier in her career, Agathe served as Product/Marketing Manager at OMB Labs, Teaching Assistant at Columbia University, Part-time Consultant at PRODIGY NETWORK, and Visiting Student Researcher at the University of California. She also volunteered at ASS INDE ESPOIR.

Florida federal prosecutors in the Southern District of Florida, led by then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta, were fully aware of damning allegations into Jeffrey Epstein's predatory sexual behavior—including testimony that he exploited teenage girls as young as 14 in New York—as early as 2006. Despite this, in 2008 the Feds struck a secretive non-prosecution agreement that allowed Epstein to plead to minor state prostitution charges. The deal granted him immunity from federal prosecution and shielded not only him but also unnamed co-conspirators—including possibly powerful individuals—from federal scrutiny. Grand jury transcripts from 2006 and 2007 confirm that investigators had solid frontline narratives and evidence of abuse, yet chose to sideline them in favor of a lenient plea that allowed Epstein to serve just over a year with generous work-release privileges. Acosta, for his part, has since claimed that he was pressured by higher-ups in the Justice Department to back off—a troubling detail that suggests this wasn't merely prosecutorial discretion, but top-down protection.Critically, this arrangement was not borne out of investigative insufficiency—it reflected a systemic choice. The leniency bestowed on Epstein exposed deep flaws in the justice system, where privilege and influence appear to outweigh victim protection. Prosecutors blatantly sidelined federal charges despite being aware of New York-based victims, while those victims were kept in the dark regarding their rights under federal law. This miscarriage of justice underscores a broader failure: not only did powerful figures in law enforcement choose expediency over accountability, but they also set a chilling precedent that wealth and high-level connections can insulate perpetrators from the full course of the law.(commercial at 11:25)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://abcnews.go.com/US/exclusive-florida-feds-knew-york-victim-epstein-indictment/story?id=69088738Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

BOOK OF JUDGES Strength Without Surrender 6.22.25 Judges 13:1-5 ESV “And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, so the Lord gave them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years. There was a certain man of Zorah, of the tribe of the Danites, whose name was Manoah. And his wife was barren and had no children. And the angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, “Behold, you are barren and have not borne children, but you shall conceive and bear a son. Therefore be careful and drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean, for behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. No razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb, and he shall begin to save Israel from the hand of the Philistines.” Even a divine calling can be undermined by human pride. Judges 14:1-3 ESV “Samson went down to Timnah, and at Timnah he saw one of the daughters of the Philistines. Then he came up and told his father and mother, “I saw one of the daughters of the Philistines at Timnah. Now get her for me as my wife.” But his father and mother said to him, “Is there not a woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people, that you must go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” But Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, for she is right in my eyes. Gifting is not the same as godliness. A divine gifting can be undermined by selfish ambitions! Isolation becomes the soil where compromise grows. Judges 16:20 ESV “And she said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And he awoke from his sleep and said, “I will go out as at other times and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the Lord had left him.” What you refuse to surrender will eventually rule over you.

Paul is exhorting us to unity that we may fulfill the calling of our life to minister to others and reach the lost with the gospel with our gifts through the local Church.

In this week's episode, I explore crucial financial planning lessons for Irish families, highlighting examples where small oversights led to significant tax bills.  Discover how one family's misunderstanding of Ireland's Dwelling House Exemption resulted in an unexpected €77,000 tax liability, and how another family's mismanagement of the Small Gift Exemption cost them over €65,000. Learn essential strategies for gifting, saving, and inheritance planning, and understand why precise adherence to tax regulations, supported by expert advice, is key to safeguarding your family's financial legacy. Good intentions aren't enough - strict compliance with Irish tax law is essential. Document and complete transactions properly - incomplete paperwork can lead to significant taxes. The Small Gift Exemption (€3,000 annually) must involve actual yearly transfers - accumulating gifts without documentation won't satisfy Revenue. Seek professional financial and legal advice early to avoid costly errors in wealth transfer and inheritance planning. Understand clearly defined tax exemptions like the Dwelling House Exemption - missing even one condition can result in major unexpected taxes. Hope it helps! Disclaimer

This week, B~Love and Syd are back with a packed episode! They kick things off with a Jacob Latimore album review, giving their unfiltered thoughts on his latest work. Syd then provides a candid update on Cam's vasectomy, offering a glimpse into their personal journey. The "Barrett & India Dateathon" continues as they discuss how rekindling the flame has led to a newfound appreciation for stillness in marriage.

In this deeply moving and insight-rich episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, host Chris Schembra welcomes Sara Hardwick, the Community Relationship Strategist at the Gift•ology Group and steward of the late John Ruhlin's enduring legacy. What begins as a conversation about gifting quickly unfolds into a masterclass in human connection, spiritual resilience, and the transformative power of long-game generosity.Sara shares her unexpected journey into this world of relational marketing—how a nudge from her college roommate and a single Google search led her to John's work, and how her bold outreach blossomed into a mentorship, a career, and a calling. Chris and Sara reflect on how the principles of Beyond Gift•ology are not just business strategies—they're spiritual frameworks for living well, loving deeply, and leading with purpose.The episode pays tribute to John Ruhlin, a father, husband, and business visionary who turned gifting into an art form and relationship-building into an enterprise. John passed away in 2024, but his wisdom—"Relationships can take you places marketing can't"—lives on in the systems, stories, and spirit that Sara now helps shepherd to the world.Together, Chris and Sara unpack practical strategies from Beyond Gift•ology: how to build a business based on Return on Relationship (ROR), how to gift without branding or ego, and how to become what Adam Grant calls a “strategic giver”—someone who gives generously and wisely without burning out.They explore the nuances between swag and soul, between a gift that gathers dust and a gift that transforms a relationship, and between a one-off act of kindness and a lifestyle of sustained generosity. Sara also speaks vulnerably about her faith journey, how her relationship with God guides her every decision, and how grief, gratitude, and giving are all connected.Chris draws parallels between his own work at the dinner table and John's commitment to elevating relationships through thoughtful gestures. They explore how tiny, consistent acts—handwritten notes, engraved knives, warm introductions—create ripple effects that build not just revenue, but legacy.Whether you're a founder, a sales leader, a service-based professional, or simply someone who wants to live more intentionally in your relationships, this episode offers a generous mix of soul and strategy. It's a reminder that business doesn't have to be cold, marketing doesn't have to be manipulative, and giving—when done well—can be your greatest competitive edge.What You'll Hear in This Episode➤ A Powerful Opening TributeChris opens with a personal story of how a 20-minute call with John Ruhlin in 2017 changed his life. That call turned into a two-and-a-half-hour conversation, a lasting mentorship, and the permission to go “all-in” on human connection.➤ Sara's Origin Story: From College Gifting Club to Gift•ology LeaderYou'll hear how Sara's best friend Chloe encouraged her to Google “gift giving company”—a search that led to John Ruhlin's work and, eventually, to Sara founding the internet's largest gifting community while still in college.➤ The Long Game of Generosity: ROR > ROISara and Chris dive deep into the difference between Return on Investment (ROI) and Return on Relationships (ROR). Sara explains why short-term thinking in business keeps us stuck—and how giving first, without expecting anything in return, can actually become your greatest long-term growth engine.➤ Gifting as Strategy, Not SwagSara outlines the key rules of strategic gifting:It's not about you—it's about the recipient. No logos, ever. Personalize for their life, not your brand. Love on the inner circle—spouses, kids, even the family dog. Focus on “practical luxuries” that create 5,475+ moments of thoughtfulness over time.➤ The Rise of the Rich Relationship SocietySara introduces the R.I.C.H. framework:Reciprocal Influential Connected HumbleShe shares how this system is designed to help entrepreneurs and service-based professionals build referral-based businesses rooted in trust, warmth, and mutual growth.➤ Jesus, Dinner Parties, and the Divine Power of a KnifeIn one of the most personal moments, Sara credits her faith—and specifically, her renewed relationship with Jesus—as the compass guiding her work. They connect the dots between Jesus' Last Supper, dinner tables as sacred community spaces, and how something as simple as a personalized kitchen knife can become a legacy of love.➤ Beyond the Business Tactic: Legacy as the Ultimate ROIThe episode closes with a powerful reminder: while gifting is a strategy, true generosity is a posture of the heart. Sara shares that she's not just playing for business success—she's playing for eternity. Key TakeawaysGenerosity isn't a transaction—it's a transformation. Strategic gifting isn't about getting something back immediately. It's about creating meaningful moments that compound over time.Your swag isn't a gift—it's a billboard.
