Mike shares his journey from starting in his dad's laboratory at just 17 years old to becoming a technician, educator, speaker, and advocate for having the conversations that don't always happen in dentistry. We talk about functional dentistry, ceramics, teaching, family expectations, imposter syndrome, recovery, mindset, and the importance of being willing to step away and find a healthier perspective on life. Mike also tells us about Table 52, his vision for creating a community where people can have honest conversations about the struggles behind the scenes, along with his work with Harvest Dental and Open Bench. It's a very real conversation about dentistry, family, personal growth, and what happens when you stop worrying about looking like you have it all together and start focusing on becoming the best version of yourself.

Melissa Crager with Brookshire Brothers joins us in this episode to talk about the Brookshire Brothers Charitable Foundation and the many ways the foundation is used to give back to the community! 

Phil Chronakis of Sealed Wax Nation joins us for a conversation about collecting sealed wax, the nostalgia attached to unopened boxes and packs, and why some collectors have absolutely no desire to find out what's inside. But Phil's relationship with the hobby goes well beyond collecting. We get into the story behind Sealed Wax Nation, his Keep It Sealed American Tour, and his mission to use sports cards to support children's hospitals and youth organizations across the country. From there, the conversation expands into scarcity, nostalgia and the psychology that makes collecting so powerful. We also tackle affordability and access to the hobby before putting one of the hobby's most frequently used words under the microscope: monopoly. Is having enormous market share enough? What about exclusive licenses? And what does competition actually mean from the consumer's perspective? A wide-ranging conversation about collecting, giving back, business and the forces shaping the modern hobby. Subscribe to Sports Cards Live on YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts.

09-20-2026Seeing Visions and Dreaming Dreams | Week 5: Giving Back to God What Is God's Pastor Dave Brown In the final message of the Seeing Visions and Dreaming Dreams series, Pastor Dave Brown explores Jesus' powerful response to the Pharisees in Matthew 22:15-22, where He declares, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's.” What begins as a political trap becomes a profound lesson on identity, stewardship, and wholehearted devotion to God. Drawing connections to Genesis 1:26-27, Pastor Dave shows that just as the coin bore Caesar's image, every human being bears the image of God. The question is not merely what we should do with our money, but whether we are giving our entire lives back to the One whose image we carry. This message challenges believers to look beyond finances and consider the deeper issue of the heart. Through biblical teaching and practical examples, Pastor Dave examines how comparison, materialism, and unchecked appetites can slowly capture our attention and affection, distracting us from God's purposes. He also explores the Old Testament practice of tithing, revealing how God's commands were designed not to burden His people, but to keep them spiritually free and dependent upon Him. Ultimately, this sermon is a call to faithful stewardship of everything God has entrusted to us: our hearts, our time, our resources, and our lives. As followers of Christ, we are not owners but stewards, created in God's image and called to participate in His kingdom work on earth. Key Scriptures: • Matthew 22:15-22 • Genesis 1:26-27 • Numbers 18 • Deuteronomy 14 Join us as we discover what it means to live with open hands, trust God's provision, and give back to God what already belongs to Him.

Yinz Are Good shares the good stuff - the good news -  going on out there and celebrates the good people who are making it happen: The people who are lifting others up, who are taking care of their neighbors, the people who are saying, “What can I do today to make our world a better place?”.We've got a lot of good stuff comin up in this episode, yinzers (and you'll sense a very Pittsburgh theme running through it)...First, on August 8th, we had the awesome opportunity to be part of another Pittsburgh Pirates pre-game block party.  August 8th just happens to be National Happiness Happens Day, so we were posted up at our tent with our whiteboard asking folks “Who or what makes you happy?” And our roving reporter, “Diva on the Street”, ventured out into the crowds to record folks' thoughts should they want to share them that way.And then… we love the opportunity to feature local small businesses who support and lift up their community. Our featured business today was founded by Pittsburghers committed to giving back to Pittsburghers. They are: Buccos Roofing. And they aren't just building roofs, they're building community. They initiate neighborhood cleanups, support our youth and, in perhaps their best-known effort: host an annual free roof giveaway. Tressa sat down with Co-founder & CEO, Mark Easton, at their office in Bethel Park for a lovely conversation. Mark has a helper's heart, as you'll hear, and takes great pride in his company's work and the connections they make along the way.Buccos RoofingWatch this episode here!___________Watch our Tressa Tries…video series on YouTube⁠ here⁠.⁠⁠https://www.yinzaregood.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FOLLOW US on social media:Instagram:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@yinzaregood⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@YinzAreGood⁠⁠⁠⁠Have a story of generosity or kindness to share with us?

Joshua Bentz grew up in Connecticut, watched his parents split, felt unwanted by his mother, took to the streets, became a White Crip, cycled through juvenile detention, Connecticut state prison, and eventually the federal prison system — navigating addiction, prison politics, gang life, and the specific difficulty of finding work as a felon — before finally finding sobriety and the turning point that everything that life had cost him desperately needed. _____________________________________________  #federalprison #prisonstory #truecrimestories _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to this episode of the Sexier than a Squirrel podcast, the podcast that brings you real-life dog training results, and sometimes human training ones too!This week, Lauren is joined once again by Justin Prust for a conversation about something that can make a huge difference to your confidence, your skills and even the opportunities that come your way: continuing to learn.And learning doesn't have to mean signing up for another qualification or finding hours you simply don't have. It could be 15 minutes with a book, 20 minutes training your own dog, listening to a podcast, watching someone else train or simply having a great conversation with someone who knows something you don't.Lauren and Justin explore how those small opportunities to learn can build confidence and create momentum – and why learning becomes even more powerful when you share what you've discovered with somebody else. One person learns something, passes it on, inspires someone else to have a go… and suddenly learning becomes giving too.There's also plenty of chat about the less tidy side of learning: trying something you're terrible at, being willing to get things wrong and accepting that progress doesn't always happen in a straight line. Whether it's dog training, reading, surfing, whistling or mastering a completely ridiculous new skill, staying curious keeps us growing.Most importantly, learning should be fun. When we enjoy the process, we're far more likely to remember it, keep doing it and share that enthusiasm with the people around us.So what could you learn today?Support the showIf you're loving the podcast, you'll love our NEW Sexier than a Squirrel Dog Training Challenge even more!

Hear their story and learn more about the realities of food truck life in our great conversation! If you've never tried Colombian food, this episode might be your sign. And if you've never tried Latin Bites? Dan has a few recommendations: empanadas, salchipapas, and those massive arepas.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin sits down with Joy Taylor for an episode that goes way past football. Michael opens up about the time federal agents showed up at his own training camp because a scammer was using his identity to con women, a story he's kept quiet until now. From there, the two get into the "divine order," turning 40 without kids, why he calls his dogs better roommates than people, the spiritual mentorship of Bishop T.D. Jakes, his emotional exit from the NFL, and a full-throated defense of Jerry Jones' legacy. Michael also reflects on Jimmy Johnson, the current state of NIL, and why he refuses to let anyone else's opinion override his own experience.

334MotionMan is a Montgomery, Alabama artist who is only one year into taking music seriously but is already focused on making an impact both through his artistry and within his community. His single “Crossroads” opens the door to a deeper conversation about the personal decisions and turning points that have shaped his journey. Early opportunities such as performing at the Daze Summit and appearing on a QC show in Atlanta have given him valuable experience while introducing his music to new audiences. In this interview, 334MotionMan speaks candidly about Montgomery's music scene, including competition between artists, the need for greater unity, and how crime can affect those trying to build careers in the city. His purpose also extends beyond music. Alongside his fiancé, he is developing Amber Village, a nonprofit initiative centered on giving back and helping people overcome addiction. 334MotionMan discusses why that mission is personal and important to him, how he balances music with community involvement, and what he hopes to represent as his career continues to grow.

Today we chatted with Matt Ingold, Assistant General Manager of del Lago Resort & Casino, to talk about why giving back to the community is such an important part of what they do. Matt shares how del Lago's charitable programs are making a real impact, including their Give 5 and Get 10 promotion, which has raised $179,000 this year, along with another $54,000 raised or donated through additional programs. One powerful example is their partnership with the Greater Cayuga SPCA. Money raised through Give 5 and Get 10 helped the SPCA purchase a new Humane Law Enforcement vehicle and just days later, that vehicle was put to work helping rescue more than 20 dogs from an animal abuse and hoarding case. It's a conversation about giving back, supporting local organizations, and what can happen when businesses and communities come together to make a difference.

Karen & Janet kick off this week's Girls on the Air: Women in Real Estate with the latest from the Ventura County real estate and rental markets, including new listings, upcoming rentals, probate properties, and why buyers need to be ready when the right home hits the market. Then Joe Parisi with Rate Mortgage joins the show with a mortgage market update. Joe discusses where interest rates are sitting, how inflation and Federal Reserve decisions can affect mortgage rates, and programs designed to help first-time homebuyers. He also explains how refinancing at a higher mortgage rate can sometimes still save thousands of dollars when it's used to consolidate expensive credit-card and other debt. Next, Krista Hermanz with The Heritance Lawyers breaks down estate planning and why a properly prepared and funded trust can be so important for California homeowners. Krista discusses avoiding probate, making sure property is actually titled in the trust, durable powers of attorney, planning for incapacity, out-of-state properties, businesses, and some of the common estate-planning mistakes families make. Finally, Bob Davis stops by to talk about First Wednesday and its impact on Ventura County nonprofits. This month's beneficiary is Angel Flight West, an organization supported by volunteer pilots who provide transportation for people and other critical needs throughout the region. It's a packed show covering real estate, mortgages, estate planning, probate, and a great way to support the Ventura County community—all on Girls on the Air: Women in Real Estate.

## A Community-Focused Initiative Aaron shares how their journey began with a simple desire to give back to the hill climbing scene. "We debated this for not very long before we both jumped on board and we started 202 Speedco," he explains. The company's website, [202speedco.com](https://202speedco.com), is now live and already processing orders. Ryan adds, "It's pretty cool because when I started hill climbing, getting a paddle tire was like a mysterious endeavor. Now, we're making it easier for everyone to find what they need." ## The Ultimate Tire In a candid moment, Aaron teases, "Ryan's ordered a tire that's gonna be the ultimate weapon. I don't think he wants to let the cat out of the bag, but it is gonna be the best tire ever." The anticipation builds as Ryan hints at a new design that could change the game for racers: "It's gonna be like a seven hundred dollar tire, but man, is it gonna be cool?" ## Giving Back to the Sport The duo emphasizes that their mission is not profit-driven but about supporting the community. As Ryan puts it, "This community is one we love, and it's pretty cool to be able to give back to it." They also plan to expand their offerings to include race fuel additives and oils, catering to the needs of racers everywhere. ## Recent Races and Community Spirit The conversation transitions to their recent experience at a hill climb event in Billings, Montana. Ryan describes the atmosphere: "It's always a really, really good event, and it's great to see both experienced and new riders come together." However, the day wasn't without incident. They reflect on a scary moment involving a fellow racer, Tristan, who had a significant crash. Aaron recounts, "It was super scary... his hip was pretty wrecked and his shoulder." A GoFundMe has been set up to support Tristan during his recovery. ## Reflections on Racing Ryan and Aaron discuss the unpredictable nature of hill climbing and the importance of safety. They reminisce about the instincts that take over during a crash, highlighting the bravery required to make split-second decisions. Despite the day's challenges, the overall sentiment remains positive. As Ryan concludes, "Everything was organized, and it was super fun." There's a sense of camaraderie in the air, reminding everyone why they love this sport so much. For more insights and a deeper dive into the world of hill climbing, check out the full episode!

What if the relationship that changed your life also uncovered the business opportunity you were meant to pursue? In this episode, Moshe Edri, Founder of Spa Sphere, shares how an unexpected relationship led him to discover a massive gap in the aesthetics industry and inspired him to build an AI-powered platform designed specifically for aestheticians. After spending more than 20 years building technology for some of the world's largest companies, Moshe never imagined he'd become an entrepreneur serving the skincare industry. But through one meaningful relationship, he saw firsthand the daily challenges independent aestheticians faced and realized no one was building software around the way they actually worked. Moshe explains how listening to customers, creating genuine partnerships, and staying close to the people you serve has fueled Spa Sphere's rapid growth. He also shares why relationships, are the true competitive advantage for any business, and how meaningful connections continue to shape both his company and his life.   [00:03:28] What He Does and Who He Serves Founder of Spa Sphere, an AI-powered platform built specifically for aestheticians Helps skincare professionals simplify operations and grow their businesses Creates technology around the unique workflows of estheticians Enables practitioners to spend more time serving clients and less time managing software [00:05:19] Solving a Problem No One Else Was Addressing Existing software wasn't designed for the way aestheticians work Many professionals relied on disconnected tools and manual processes Fragmented systems created unnecessary stress and burnout Spa Sphere brings everything together into one purpose-built platform [00:06:41] Helping Clients Create Better Outcomes Supports personalized treatment plans instead of one-time appointments Gives aestheticians tools to guide clients through long-term skincare journeys Helps practitioners increase revenue while improving client care Aligns technology with how estheticians naturally serve their clients [00:11:04] How One Relationship Changed Everything The idea for Spa Sphere began while dating an esthetician Saw firsthand the frustrations of running an independent practice Realized an entire industry had been overlooked by technology companies Combined his background in software with a real-world business challenge [00:12:45] Growing Through Strategic Relationships Focuses on partnerships with educators, coaches, and industry leaders Chooses collaboration over chasing individual customers Creates win-win opportunities throughout the industry Builds momentum through trusted relationships and referrals [00:14:31] The Relationship That Sparked His Mission Credits a personal relationship with introducing him to the aesthetics industry Was inspired by how deeply aestheticians care for their clients Built technology that removes friction so practitioners can focus on people Turned a personal experience into a purpose-driven company [00:17:08] Growing Beyond His Comfort Zone Learned business development as a technical founder Built meaningful partnerships despite being naturally introverted Embraced new challenges to grow both personally and professionally Continues refining the customer experience as the company expands [00:18:59] Why Customer Relationships Matter Gives every client direct access to him Values personal conversations over transactional support Makes time to meet customers whenever possible Believes authentic relationships are the foundation of lasting success [00:20:54] Scaling Without Losing the Human Touch Confident the technology can scale to support future growth More concerned about maintaining exceptional customer support Wants every customer to continue feeling personally valued Committed to growing without sacrificing relationships [00:21:35] Giving Back to the Industry Inspired by the generosity and passion of aestheticians Finds purpose in helping professionals better serve their clients Provides free resources, education, and tools alongside the platform Measures success by the impact he creates for others   KEY QUOTES "The challenge for me was to create the best platform for aestheticians so they need to forget about technology. Technology becomes the easy part, not the hard part, so they can focus on building relationships with their clients." "I'm looking back where I started and where I am today, and it makes me proud that I was capable of creating those meaningful connections and always creating win-win-win situations." "All my clients have my cellphone number. They know about our hamsters, they know about my dog. We've developed those kinds of relationships." "Personal time is what helps build those relationships. That digital persona you show on camera isn't enough."

ToddFox sits down for a special conversation with two-time World Series champion Luis Polonia for an inside look at a lifetime in baseball and the art of becoming a professional hitter. Polonia reflects on his journey from the Dominican Republic to the Major Leagues, breaking into professional baseball during an era when Dominican players were continuing to open doors and establish themselves across MLB. He shares stories from his playing career, what it took to succeed at the highest level, and the approach at the plate that helped make hitting such an important part of his game. The conversation also dives into Polonia's incredible baseball legacy back home. As the Dominican winter league's all-time hits leader, Polonia's impact on Dominican baseball extends far beyond his own playing career. Today, he's helping the next generation chase the same dream. Polonia discusses his work teaching and developing young Dominican players, passing along the fundamentals, discipline, hitting knowledge, and baseball IQ needed to give talented kids an opportunity to one day reach professional baseball and potentially the Major Leagues. ToddFox and Luis also talk about the growth of Dominican baseball, the challenges young players faced during Polonia's era in the late 1980s, how the game and development process have changed, and what separates a good hitter from a great one. It's baseball history, hitting philosophy, incredible stories and a look at how one generation of Dominican players helped create opportunities for the generations that followed. #LuisPolonia #ToddFox #HalosInTheInfield #HITINetwork #AngelsBaseball #CaliforniaAngels #Angels #GoHalos #DominicanBaseball #DominicanRepublic #LIDOM #WorldSeriesChampion #MLB #MajorLeagueBaseball #Baseball #BaseballHistory #BaseballPodcast #Hitting #HittingCoach #BaseballTraining #YouthBaseball #BaseballDevelopment #BaseballLife #AngelsHistory #HaloNation Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What happens when a kid growing up in a small Canadian town discovers rock 'n' roll—and decides music will become his life? For multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, producer and performer Todd “Dammit” Kerns, that journey has taken him from discovering The Who and entering his punk-rock era to becoming the bassist and backing vocalist for Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, as well as front man for The Age of Electric. In this episode of “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” Todd talks about growing up in Canada, playing hockey with his brothers, discovering the power of a bass guitar, and the teachers who helped ignite his passion for music. He also reveals how he got the unfor-gettable nickname “Dammit” and explains why he believes performing should feel like play—not work. Todd also shares his philosophy of living in the present, adapting to whatever is happen-ing around you, and continuing to move forward. And there's a special Las Vegas connection: Todd is bringing an intimate, unplugged performance to Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas on August 22, with proceeds benefiting the Nevada SPCA—an organization and cause that has long been important to him. From small-town Canada to the international rock stage, Todd “Dammit” Kerns proves that a passion for music, the right mentors, and a willingness to keep moving forward can take you almost anywhere.

Hey there Voices of the Bench community, this is Trish Jones with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS Emax Zirconia offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help save you valuable production time while maintaining consistent results. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out to your local Ivoclar rep today and discover how IPS Emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one.Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, The Invisible Profession. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. This week on Voices From the Bench, we finally sit down with someone we've been wanting to have on the show for a LONG time—Philip Gold! Philip grew up in the dental laboratory, quite literally pulling teeth out of formaldehyde bottles in his father Raymond Gold's lab in Atlanta. His father started the laboratory in 1946, and Philip eventually found himself following in those footsteps, although not without first taking a seven-year detour working for Williams Gold. That experience gave him the opportunity to visit laboratories all over the country, learn from some of the best in the industry, and see firsthand how different labs operated. Philip eventually returned to the family laboratory in 1980 and began the process of taking over from his father. What followed was a career built around learning, adapting, building teams, and—most importantly—relationships. Philip shares what it was like stepping into a leadership role at a young age, earning the respect of experienced technicians, and learning that being a leader isn't about knowing everything yourself, but understanding the work well enough to help the people around you succeed. He also talks about selling the laboratory to National Dentex with the goal of giving the business and its people an opportunity to continue growing, only to eventually find his way back into the laboratory world with By Design Dental Studio alongside his daughter Katie and Denise. And if you know Philip, you know he's never stopped learning. He currently holds six CDT certifications, including ceramics, crown and bridge, partials, implants, dentures, and digital. His story about preparing for the digital practical exam is a perfect example of his determination—his first practice run took seven and a half hours for an exam designed to be completed in just over five. So he reorganized, practiced again, changed his workflow, and eventually got it down to under five hours. And of course, Philip isn't pursuing certifications just for himself. He wants to set an example, motivate the next generation of technicians, and encourage more people in the laboratory to continue learning. We also get into the importance of customer service, why relationships are at the heart of this industry, and why sometimes the best thing a laboratory can do is simply pick up the phone and help. Philip shares his philosophy that when something goes wrong, you drop everything and make it right. We talk about giving back to the industry, the people who helped shape Philip's career, and how the dental laboratory community has always been willing to share knowledge when you're willing to ask. And yes… somewhere along the way we also hear the greatest “okey-doke” story in dental laboratory history. Special Guest: Phillip Gold.
