How do you really know if someone will succeed as a producer before you hire them? In this Mailbag episode, we discuss the real traits that separate average producers from the ones who consistently perform, stay longer, and fit the culture.We dive into how DISC profiles, values, and sales strength attributes reveal far more than interviews ever could, why the classic “high D, high I” assumption can backfire, and how stability and alignment often matter more than raw personality.You'll hear lessons learned from years of hiring, scaling agencies, and dealing with turnover plus how understanding how people think, communicate, and stay motivated can completely change the way you build a team.If you want fewer hiring mistakes, stronger culture, and producers who actually stick around, this episode gives you the framework to think differently about talent.Join the elite ranks of P&C agents.

In a world flooded with automation and digital noise, business success comes down to something simple: human connection. That's the core belief of Jon Ferrara, founder of GoldMine and Nimble.

It's not about tracking sales; it's about nurturing relationships.

 Hiring doesn't have to feel like a gamble. In this Mailbag episode, we break down a simple 5-step hiring framework designed to remove guesswork, reduce unknowns, and help you consistently find the right people faster. We walk through why paid traffic creates a predictable candidate pipeline, how assessments help you see past interview “A-game,” why group interviews reveal real behavior, and how structured one-on-ones help you choose the best fit. The conversation also dives into onboarding with clarity, defining success paths, setting activity standards, and focusing on behaviors instead of just results, so new hires know exactly what winning looks like from day one. If you've ever hired out of desperation, struggled with turnover, or felt like your hiring process is reactive instead of intentional, this episode gives you a practical roadmap to build a repeatable hiring system that actually works.Join the elite ranks of P&C agents.

In this episode of The Property Nerds podcast, hosts Arjun Paliwal and Jack Fouracre sit down with Ramon Raneal from The Agency to discuss why the culture-rich Inner West of Sydney has become a magnet for property buyers and investors alike. Raneal, a real estate specialist in the Inner West, shares his journey from the US property market to Sydney and explains why the Inner West offers identity, culture, and community to owners and investors alike. He unpacks the unique dynamics of the Inner West market, where small blocks of land can fetch premium prices, and where educated, savvy buyers are prepared to pay for lifestyle, convenience, and community. Listeners learn how post-COVID-19 trends have shifted buyer demographics, with young families and downsizers moving from the eastern suburbs and Lower North Shore to the Inner West. Ramon also reveals practical tips for sellers, from minimising buyer objections to maximising light and space to attract competitive offers. Raneal highlights how location within a street can dramatically affect resale value, and how creative use of smaller land parcels, such as adding a second dwelling or reconfiguring layouts, can unlock significant long-term gains in an otherwise compact market.

In this episode of the **222 Paranormal Podcast**, we dive deep into the world's most infamous *lost treasures* and the eerie legends that surround them. From pirate gold hidden on remote islands to royal jewels that disappeared during revolutions, these treasures aren't just missing—they're *guarded by mystery*. Many are said to be protected by curses, strange phenomena, or unseen forces that prevent them from ever being recovered. Explorers report disembodied voices, sudden storms, equipment failures, and even shadowy figures appearing near dig sites. Coincidence… or something far older watching over what was never meant to be found? We explore legendary enigmas like the **Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine**, where countless treasure hunters have vanished in the Arizona desert. We examine the chilling theories behind **Oak Island's Money Pit**, a location so strange it has claimed lives while offering only cryptic clues. We also journey into sunken realms—lost shipwrecks rumored to hold unimaginable wealth, including vessels that disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only ghost stories and unanswered questions. But this episode isn't just about gold and jewels—it's about *why* these treasures remain lost. Are they simply victims of time and geography, or are some discoveries actively being prevented? We discuss theories ranging from ancient traps and secret societies to paranormal guardians and time-slip phenomena. In some cultures, treasure is believed to become "alive," choosing who may find it—and who must never return. As always, we blend historical accounts with eyewitness testimony, folklore, and high-strangeness speculation. Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or someone who just loves a good mystery, this episode will leave you questioning how much of history is still hidden… and whether some secrets are safer buried. Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and join us as we uncover the **Lost Treasures of the World**—where riches vanish, legends endure, and the past refuses to stay silent.   Welcome to the 222 Paranormal Podcast, your gateway to the captivating world of the supernatural.

[Recorded January 28th, 2026] Dr. Thomas Mumford, President of Scottie Resources (TSX.V:SCOT) (OTCQB:SCTSF), joins us to review some recent high-grade gold assay results at both the Blueberry Contact Zone and Scottie Gold Mine area from the 2025 exploration season.  Additionally, we get an update on the targeting preparation for the largest drill program to date planned in 2026, and the Feasibility Study workstreams underway at the Scottie Gold Mine Project; located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.   2025 drilling continues to deliver excellent results from the Blueberry Contact Zone. Hole SR25-420 intersected 34.3 grams per tonne “g/t” gold over 3.30 metres, including a high-grade interval of 90.8 g/t gold over 1.0 metres within the Lemoffe vein zone. Hole SR25-424 intersected 9.97 g/t gold over 9.70 metres, including 21.1 g/t gold over 2.45 metres. Of the 27,000 metres drilled in 2025, only ~16,000 metres have been reported to date. There are still 11,000 meters of drilling from the Blueberry Contact Zone to release from last year's program, once received back from the assay lab.   Drilling continues to deliver at the Scottie Gold Mine area from last year's drill program. Hole SR25-445 intersected 14.8 grams per tonne “g/t” gold over 9.80 metres, including a high-grade interval of 69.8 g/t gold over 2.0 metres within the M-Zone. Additional strong M-Zone results include 21.1 g/t gold and 50.6 g/t silver over 3.45 metres in hole SR25-410 and 17.6 g/t gold over 4.40 metres in hole SR25-439. Multiple drill holes (SR25-408, 419, 427 and 445) also intersected gold mineralization within the Wolf Zone, highlighted by an intercept of 7.56 g/t gold over 1.65 metres in hole SR25-408. These results represent the conclusion of 2025 drill results from the Scottie Gold Mine and associated vein zones, i.e., P-, M-, N-, L-, and Wolf Zones.   The Company is planning to initiate a ~50,000 meter drill program for 2026, which will be the largest exploration program to date.  More information will be detailed once all the 2025 drill results from the Blueberry Contact Zone have been assimilated into the geological model.    The recent PEA outlined a robust Direct-Ship Ore (“DSO”) development scenario for the Scottie Gold Mine Project, with strong economics and leverage to the current gold price environment, and additional upside potential through local toll milling.  The DSO process was successfully demonstrated during this trial mining and Bulk Sample, which was mined at the Bend Vein pit at the Scottie Gold Mine Project, then mucked, visually sorted, and crushed over the 2025 summer season.   90% of the payment from the bulk sample has already been received, with the final 10% payment still due.  It will reconcile any difference between estimated and final ounces and will be priced based on metal values at the time grades are finalized and agreed upon.  It is estimated that gold sold will have generated a net profit of ~CAD$9Million for the Company.   Thomas outlines the plan to move straight into work streams for a Feasibility Study (FS), with actual cost estimates and more detailed economics, as the next major economic study to be undertaken.  The FS is slated to take about 8-10 months after all the 2025 drill results from the 27,309 meter program are all returned and integrated into their updated resource model.  The Company is also collecting data for environmental baseline studies in preparation for the upcoming permitting process.    Click here to follow the latest news from Scottie Resources   If you have any questions for Thomas regarding Scottie Resources, then please email us at Fleck@kereport.com or  Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Scottie Resources at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.       For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Welcome back to Build Your Bible Habit. This is a habit that you'll never want to break. The practical wisdom from daily Proverbs equips us to walk in wisdom, making us better in handling the multiple decisions and interactions that come our way. God left us a GOLD MINE in His Word, and all we need to do is read it and apply it to our lives. The peace of God is not related to our circumstances. It is a result of walking with Him. Friendship is one of many areas touched on in Proverbs 27, and verse 17 gives us a chance to consider friendship from two angles: the kind of friends we choose and the kind of friend that we are to others. God meant for us to keep each other spiritually sharp. Here's a great reminder verse for the week: "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend."

It's a big show this week. So much to cover, a fight as always to keep it to the point. Managers are back on the menu as we take a look at the ongoing discussion on whether power of selection should like with the head coach or the medical department. That inevitably feeds into a quick look at the chaos unleashed by Oliver Glasner in the media last weekend. It's then the turn of tennis to celebrate the start of the Australian Open and a look at whether the Grand Slams should give a higher percentage of revenue to the players, before wrapping up with a look at F1 on the week the liveries for the 2026 season are revealed; how important is how the car looks to the brands spending tens of millions to sponsor them? Let's get straight to it. Welcome to The Breakdown!

Kevin and Bill discuss our tottering economic system and analyze the market trends. Crypto is flatlining…Wall Street is turning into a casino…people are saving less…inflation is skyrocketing…and it's all accelerating a national recession. People no longer trust the market and are escaping into gold and silver. Can Trump fix it? If not, when will everything collapse — and what can individual Christians do to protect themselves?

Send us a textReady to rethink what a “niche” franchise can do? We're joined by Storm Miller, director of franchise development at Rep'M Group, to dig into the surprisingly large world of cabinet restoration and why institutional capital loves this space. Storm explains how Renew Medic spun out of a legacy brand after franchisees found cabinet jobs paid 10x more than typical furniture fixes, then lined up national insurance relationships to feed consistent, high-value work.We get specific about the numbers. Territories are pre-mapped using owner-occupied homes, with insurance data showing steady demand from everyday water and fire incidents. ITEM 19 data: With average tickets around $8,000 and fewer direct competitors, operators can build multi-million-dollar shops supported by CNC machines, edge banders, and trained techs who restore, store, and reinstall with precision. Storm walks through the ITEM 19 and a Denver operator's $5.8M revenue and seven-figure EBITDA displayed within, including material costs that can sit near 8 to 10 percent, and payment cycles that land closer to 30 days than 90. It's a rare three-way win: insurers cut claim costs, mitigation partners speed up cycles, and homeowners stay in their routines without months-long tear-outs.We also tackle the why behind the investment: 7,500 to 10,000 square feet of light industrial space, scalable equipment that qualifies for Section 179, and a workflow designed to keep jobs moving fast. If you're a white-collar leader comfortable managing blue-collar teams, this model rewards hands-on ownership early and thoughtful delegation later. We cover real estate as a long-term lever, exit planning from day one, and how Discovery Day in Memphis lets candidates see the operation, training center, and leadership up close.Curious whether a need-based, B2B engine with national accounts and large territories fits your goals for 2026?

And I am not your typical massage therapist. After 20 years of experience and thousands of clients, I have learned that massage therapy is SO MUCH more than a relaxing experience at a spa.

This is the basis of my approach. As a massage therapist, I have worked in almost every capacity, including massage clinics, physical therapy clinics, chiropractor offices, spas, private practice, and teaching. I have learned incredible techniques and strategies from each of my experiences. In my 20 years as a massage therapist, I have never stopped growing.

Rising sharply from the Arizona desert, the Superstition Mountains are as beautiful as they are deadly. For centuries, these jagged peaks have been wrapped in stories of curses, lost gold, disappearances, and something far darker lurking among the canyons.In this episode of Lurk, we descend into the legends that made the Superstitions infamous—from the tale of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine to the countless hikers and prospectors who entered the mountains and were never seen again. Indigenous warnings, brutal terrain, unexplained deaths, and whispers of shadowy figures all collide in a landscape many believe is cursed.Are the Superstition Mountains simply unforgiving wilderness, or is there something watching from the cliffs and ravines?

It's office autopsy time! Kiera shares the story of a practice that recently discovered $2.5 million going unnoticed. She talks about the doctors and their (very) busy schedules, the need for an additional hygienist, and what the cold, hard numbers told this practice about next steps. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent (00:01) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera. And today I am excited. I was just in a practice and we were going through a lot of really fun things. And whenever I come from an office, I get so excited to come back and chat with our podcast family of things that you and your practice should and could be doing. I was told when I was in this office, this is the Dental A Team magic where we physically fly to your practice. We work with your teams. We work with you as a doctor. We uncover hidden pieces that maybe you didn't even know to bring to a call.   I think it's so magical to be able to do this for practices. And so today is a little office autopsy of finding $2.5 million left behind on the table in ways that you would never expect. Sound interesting? Well, I hope you're ready because I wanna take you through and uncover hidden little cashflow pits that you might not even be looking at. So number one, we decided to go through...   because this doctor is so busy. So many of you tell me I'm so busy, Kiera, my schedule is jam-packed, and I say congratulations, but what is the cost of that? So for example, if you have your hygiene department, you should be looking at your active patient base. So an active patient base for a general dentist should be 1,500 patients as an active patient for one doctor. High end, like where you can kind of get by is 1,900, but beyond that, that's very high. And we're talking 12 months and 18 months. So take a look at both of those numbers.   and just look to see where are you at. So this practice, they have about 4,500 active patients with two full-time doctors. They're at capacity. So what's happening is we have options. We can add more hygiene, but then that's going to have our doctor to hygiene, AKA our exams at the wrong amount. What's happening is they're dropping periopatients because they don't have space for their...   Regular prophy patients, then they're diagnosing SRPs, but they have nowhere to put them for six months. They're pushing new patients out for four to five months. So we did a little bit of fun math and we didn't even, this is just gonna be some hypotheticals, but I think for you just to hear like, what are some of the things that actually can hurt your practice and how much are you leaving on the table when we do things like this? So for this practice, when we went through and we looked at it, we thought, all right, let's take an average prophy and whatever it is for you.   Maybe it's 150 up to 200 for an average prophy. We're talking prophy, x-rays, cleanings, or just even prophy and an exam. How much is that for you and your practice? Now, look to see how many active patients you have. If we've got 4,500, well guess what? You get a double that because those patients are coming in two times a year. So have fun with those numbers. We divide that by 12. We look at how many patients we're seeing per day. Now that doesn't necessarily mean how many you are, but that's how many you're going to need to see.   Then we look to see how much hygiene we have right now today to see, we actually have enough hygiene spaces for it? But let's not forget that we also have to add new patients because in addition to our active base, we are constantly adding more patients. Yes, we are losing some patients, but my hope is that you at least are adding more than we're losing. So we've got to look at those two together and see how much time we actually have in a week, in a month that we need to be seeing patients. This is gonna then show you your gap. So for this practice, they had over 200 appointments   that they were short every single month. That's at a minimum. So clearly they're ready to bring on another hygienist. This was great numbers to see, do I bring on a hygienist? Do I not bring on a hygienist? But the problem is they're already at five hygienists with two doctors. You can start to do the math. So it's like, well, great. Well, we're not diagnosing perio either. So options are we could bring on a sixth hygienist and that hygienist would just do SRP. That doesn't mean just that person, but we'd have eight hours of SRP in a given day.   spread across all the hygienists. That means we don't increase our exam numbers, but we do increase our number of perio. We do increase our number of hygiene spots. That's going to help in some instances. But even if we fix that problem, remember we still have all these patients that we're not seeing. So this practice right now, they told me, hey, Kiera, we're pushing our patients out about eight months is where we've got to put them. We can't see them on the six month mark. We've got to push them to the eight month. So I did the math and I was like, okay, average pro fee is going to be about $150 per patient.   but you gotta take all those patients that would be seen in one month and we times that by 150. Now, I understand this is very loose math, but it gives a good idea because think about it, those patients, if we saw them every six months, that's money from insurance and also from seeing them on a regular schedule, plus not just that, but patient care. We see them on the six month interval, but these ones we're not seeing every six months, we're seeing them every eight months. So that means there's two months that we're missing out on opportunities to see them.   So when we did the math, it averaged out to about $450,000 with this patient base annually, just of miss hygiene. And that was only on one month. If you want to do it on two months, which is realistically what it would be, that's almost a million dollars worth of revenue, just in hygiene miss opportunity. That's fascinating to me. This is why I think a consultant is so powerful because we come in and we do crazy numbers like this and we look at your numbers and we look at where you're at. And it really gives you the confidence to know, can I bring on an associate? Can I bring on more hygiene?   I feel like this, what does the number and the data suggest? So just looking at that, I was like, a simple fix is bring a hygienist in, let's have our perio go up. And then also we need to bring a doctor in for whether it's full time or not. So we ran scenarios of if we brought a doctor in, if we added more hygiene, if we had our doctors do this, what do we need to do? How do we keep our doctor to hygiene ratio running all these scenarios to then say, my gosh, this really would help our practice out.   And when I think about this and I think about practices for us, are you looking at numbers and metrics like this? Are you calculating the cost of missed appointments or not scheduling our hygiene patients back? Not to mention that we're certainly not doing 30 % of our patient base as perio. What these hygienists are doing is they're seeing that they need perio, but they don't have space to put them. So they don't want to have the conversation. This is no knock to a hygiene team. Several hygienists do it because I'm going to tell you, you've got this awful disease.   but then I'm not actually going to be able to get you in for X number of days, weeks, months. That feels really, really, really hard to try and convince a patient of this. So what do we do? We clean it out and we say, you know what, we're just gonna get it next time. But next time then fumbles and then we gotta have these conversations. Then we don't wanna have these conversations. We're constantly looking at like, we're just punting the ball down the line. So what do we need to do on this? What are the scenarios in this option? How much money is being left behind, but also how much patient? And this is great.   Other options that we considered are, we cut insurances? Because, hey, if we've got this many patients, what if we cut out our lowest producing insurance that pays us? And the doctor said, no, my mission and vision for this practice is that we care for the average patient, that we are here to take care of them and support them. And that's what this doctor wants to do. So it's like, great. They have an incredible building. They've got more space to build out. Fantastic. Let's bring in the other doctors. Let's bring in more hygiene. Let's serve these patients because instantly if we brought on one or two more hygienists,   Guess what? We could backfill very quickly with all those patients. Plus we need to hold space for new patients and perio that would be ideal based on the number of perio. So then you look at your patient base, you figure out 30 % of that. That's going to tell you how much SRP spaces you need to hold every single month in the practice. Don't forget, once you have SRP, you also need to have perio maintenance is in there. So this you can see is like this amazing web of data, of knowledge, of fun.   to figure out how much is your practice actually leaving on the table unintentionally. And when I looked at that, the doctor, he was like, well, Kiera, number one, you're always worth your weight in gold. You come in and you find little things. You guys, that is one small change that's worth 450 to $900,000 just in the amount of pro fees. That's nothing else, nothing. Like that's all we did. And to be able to uncover little opportunities like this and so,   for you to look at your practice, this is why I wanted to give you this scenario of this practice. There were several others that we looked at that we found that we were able to just quickly identify. But I think so often people are looking for big moves. They're looking for these all on X cases. They're looking for what could I do here? How could I do this? What could we change this for? And what I wanna highlight to you is I promise you there are little gold nuggets in your practice of true solid gold that's serving patients at a higher level.   or you have to do nothing else in this practice. And all you need to do is just shift one or two things and instantly your practice is going to grow 10, 20, 30, 40, 50%. Small little tweaks and changes, small little gaps, small little pieces. So it's let's look to see our hygiene patients coming in on time, like on the six month interval. Do we have the correct active patient base for the number of doctors that we have? Do we have enough hygiene to doctor ratio? What's our perio percentage?   How many perio maintenance are we doing? Are we solid on those pieces with our patient base? And then if we are on those, let's look at our x-rays. Are we doing our FMXs and our comp exams on regular frequencies? Are we doing perio, excuse me, are we doing fluoride therapy on all of our patients if you believe in that? These little tiny opportunities just in hygiene I've highlighted for you, not to mention all the other spaces that we could go after, but just hygiene alone. Are we collecting before patients walk out the door?   Are we using our block schedules and getting enough block time in our schedules for our new patients, for our perio? Do we have those blocked in there? Because if we don't, guess what? Like I don't even do the math for you on how much SRP patients are, but you wanna tack that on with the number of patients that we're missing out on. That's for sure a $1.2 million mistake with no extra effort. So I just want you today, it's a quick fast episode. It's a down and dirty of one, I think this is a huge.   A-ha of what a consultant can do for your practice. Number two, I think it's a quick a-ha for you to look at your practice and say, hey, during my CEO time, let me go walk through my practice and let me see these little gaps and cashflow gaps in my practice and let's see how we can close those up. And number three, I really hope you realize so many people think they need to expand, go get another practice, all these different things to grow their business. And I will tell you that 99, maybe I'll say 90 % of the time, we can find growth, we can find opportunities.   right underneath your roof with no extra effort, no extra energy, just to do a small change. Perfect block scheduling. Usually can add $1 million plus to a practice if we do it correctly. No extra hours, no extra time, no extra team members, just being more strategic with it. Increasing your case acceptance, small little change, small little tweak, way more revenue to your practice. So my question to you is, what's it worth? What's your hour, two hours, three hours of admin time worth to you if it could show that you could create this?   What's it worth not to call a consultant to just come check your practice and see what are maybe the hidden gaps? You guys, this practice is doing amazing. Their overhead's great, their team's great, all of that. You would think on paper that this person doesn't need a consultant. They're not stressed, they're not cashflow poor, they're none of those things. What they are is they are looking for the hidden opportunities that a consultant who's been in practices hundreds of times can come and find for them. They're looking for, what am I not thinking about that you're gonna think about? I want you to come in and find that.   And I love it. I feel like I get to go in as a sleuth. I'm not looking for systems or operations. This practice, like I said, on paper, this practice looks like they would never need to call a consultant. But what I want to highlight for you is we found in a less than day and a half, over a million, and I just told you one part of this story, over a million dollars worth of opportunity for this practice. Would that be worth your time? Something to consider.   Something to think about. And I hope today you take this and you don't just think about it, but you go do action because I promise you there is just this same, if not bigger cashflow leak in your practice or hit an opportunity that you're not thinking about that would radically change your practice, your patients, your team, your life. So go find it. And if you don't know how to do it, reach out, or if you're like, Hey, I'd love you just to come see like come sleuth. Let's do this together. Reach out. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com your practice, your team, your life is worth it.   and you deserve all the happiness in the world. And I'm happy that you chose to listen today. I'm happy to hear you hung out. And if you thought this was a fascinating podcast, share it with a friend because I think all of us could think a little bit differently, find these little opportunities. Again, no extra diagnosis, no extra work, just changing it up a little bit, doing things a little differently and their practice is going to exponentially grow. Yes, they need to bring a doctor. Yes, they need to find a hygienist. Yes, they're strategic, but we talked about all the different scenarios, ran all the different numbers and hey, here's all the options. Now pick which one you want to do.   There's so many ways to do it, but look at the awesome opportunities that they could do. And I hope that you do the same. And as always, thanks for listening. I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.
