Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP When you think of steep, cobbled bergs you probably think of Belgium - so when Harry and Stu told me the UK had its own Flandrien berg, I knew I had to find out more. As luck would have it, this iconic Michaelgate climb played host to the first stage of this year's Tour of Britain, so I dispatched my men-on-the-ground - better known as Life In The Peloton's Race Radio presented by SHOKZ - to Lincoln to check it out. Here's what the best bald boy in the bike business Harry, had to say: Harry: It only felt right that with stage one of this year's Tour of Britain finishing up Lincoln's iconic Michaelgate climb, Stu and I should head there to record our next episode of LITPRR. Camped out on the 16% cobbles, we were right at the heart of the UK domestic racing scene, and day one delivered a full-blown GC battle. What a place to watch a bike race! Cathedrals. Castles. A British winner. Quintessential stuff. I only raced in the UK a few times in my career. I did the Tour of Britain and Tour de Yorkshire once each, the RideLondon classic four times, and that miserably wet World Champs in Harrogate in 2019. If there's one thing I remember about racing in Britain - it is grippy as it gets. Hard roads, plenty of narrow lanes twisting and turning through the countryside, and downright shit weather most of the time. There are no easy Ks in the UK. Hearing the boys soaking in the atmosphere in Lincoln really does take me back to proper Belgian racing; the cheering, the cowbells, and the faint sound of riders wincing as the cobbles and gradient start to bite. Oh man, I wish I was there with a cold one taking it all in.  Guys, this is a real racing fan's episode. Harry & Stu have netted some amazing interviews with some proper legends, and really captured what this race is all about. Of course, none of this would be possible without support from our presenting partner SHOKZ. If you're after the best sports headphones - be it for cycling, running, or even swimming - get across to SHOKZ's website, and enjoy a cheeky discount for being a LITP listener.  The Race Radio boys have just one race trip left on their 2026 calendar; the Italian one day races that form the build up Lombardia in October and bring the curtain down on plenty of rider's seasons. I can't wait to hear what they cook up.  Cheers, Mitch

I guess I'm just too sensitive. I feel guilty when I walk in a store, knowing I'm not going to buy anything. And some bored salesperson sees me come in, and then you see that look of hope, that look of expectancy on their face, “At last I can justify my existence. At last I've got a customer! At last I can accomplish something. At last I can sell something.” And so they very pleasantly ask, “May I help you?” And then come those two most hated words to the ears of a salesperson, “Just looking.” Suddenly they lose all interest in me and they retire dejectedly back to their corner. Did I say I'm too sensitive? Well, I'll tell you this, nobody ever gets very excited about someone who is just looking. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “Spiritual Spectators.” Our word for today from the Word of God comes from John 9. I'll begin reading at verse 13. It's the story of the man who had been born blind who Jesus healed. Now, Jesus has always been troubled by people who are just looking. For example in this passage, “They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man's eyes was the Sabbath. Therefore, the Pharisees also asked Him how he had received his sight. ‘He put mud on my eyes' the man replied, ‘and I washed and now I see.' Some of the Pharisees said, ‘This man is not from God for he does not keep the Sabbath.'” This is amazing! You want to say to the Pharisees, “Guys, wake up! A man who could never see before was just healed! Do you understand what just happened?” And they are busy doing their theological analysis of the situation. They have no intention of buying into what Jesus is doing. They're just looking. Everywhere Jesus performed miracles it seemed that there were two groups of people: the "expectors" who had faith, who wanted to get in on the supernatural and who did, and the "dissectors" who stood off with their arms folded and said, “What shall we call this? Where does this fit in our theology?” And they saw no miracle. What bothers me is that the dissectors were the religious folks, the spiritual veterans, the Bible people. That's me. That might be you. And they were always so busy analyzing the miracle, they missed the miracle. You know, as you get more settled into Christian things and you know more Christian ideas, and hold more Christian jobs, a subtle numbness can start to grow inside of you. You go to church to watch God speak to others. You make spiritual events happen, but you stop letting them happen to you. You start to become a discusser of God's working rather than an experiencer of His working. You used to have an experience now you just have knowledge. You start to become critical of His leaders and their methods. Can you see that creeping sleep in your soul? Somewhere you stepped out of the middle of God's life-changing work and you moved to the edges to watch, to analyze, to categorize, to criticize. Hey, it's cold out there. You show up at God's store, you look around, but you don't buy into the wonder of it all. Why don't you get back into the mainstream where the miracles are? Let God happen to you again, not just happen around you. When Jesus is offering such supernatural merchandise, it would be a shame if you were just on the edges and just looking.

Being a CEO dentist doesn't have to mean fewer patients. It means leading your business as intentionally as you are clinically. Kiera gives specific tips on how you, as a dental practice owner, can shift your mindset so you're operating like a CEO and your practice is humming. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera. And today we're just gonna kind of like jump right into it. I hope it's an amazing day over there. And I hope, as you're listening, today this is going out to our dentist owners. and I think that a lot of dentists actually own a practice, but very few of them actually run it like a CEO. Is that fair? Would you agree? Would you not? what do you think? What do you think about that? Do you feel like that is   And the way you'll know if you're running it like a CEO or if you're just being owned by it is do you feel trapped in your business or do you feel in control of your business? And I think I want to just kick this off because there are times, and I will tell you, once you hit one or the other, that's not forever. That state is not a forever state. So just because you might be there today doesn't mean you'll forever be there. So if you're trapped, great news, you won't always be there. If you're if you're feeling in control, great, you're not always going to be there either. But   The goal is like being a CEO dentist doesn't mean that you're actually having to see fewer patients. It's about leading your business as intentionally as you are clinically. And being the leader of that, being the person who actually is setting the tone and being a CEO. And I think when I started my business, I didn't know what a CEO was. I did not know the difference between like owning a business and managing a business. Like I just thought you worked in it. but I think when I started looking at if I left tomorrow for two months, excluding your dentistry.   Could my team function? Could my practice continue to grow? Do I have systems? Do I have processes? Do I have things in place to where I could do that? If the answer is no, then great, you're still managing your practice. If it is yes, then great, you're sipping into that CEO role. Does your team have the playbooks? Do they have that? And so today I just kind of want to dig into like a CEO Dentist playbook of like, how can you lead a practice that grows without you? I will say this is tricky. Like you still need to be the CEO, you still need to have a vision, but I think it's a lot of pieces will be on mindset shifts that we're able to have.   what you can possibly do differently. And then like what are some habits that you can do to grow to have growth, profitability, and freedom. Now again, this is if you want to. You don't I also think some people get into this weird black and white. Like if it's this, it's that, or if I don't do this or I do do that. I hate when I say do do. Guys, you just heard it come through. but I hate when you don't have to have it just be black and white. All right. You don't have to have it where it's all or nothing. There can be an and   You can be a great clinician and be a CEO. You can be a CEO and you can still be in your practice. You can step out of your practice. We just want to make sure that you are not just being a clinician. And if you want to, that's fine. But just make sure we have a CEO of your business. So know thyself and be free, I think is where it is. and if you want to look and think and lead like a CEO, these might be some great tips for you of some mindset shifts and what we what we should go through to help.   The CEO Dentist focus on where your focus should be, what things you can prioritize. So even if today it feels impossible, at least you have a roadmap of how to get there. So number one, as a CEO, you own the vision, not every task. And I think that's a bold statement. Own the vision, not every task. Your job is not to do everything, your job is to create the direction. And this feels weird to me. This especially like dental assistant turned CEO. That's a weird shift. So you better believe I was the girl who did everything.   My job is to look 10 steps ahead of my doctor. I'm supposed to be on point. I'm supposed to be doing these pieces. To have now an assistant who I'm like, hey, I need you looking 10 steps ahead of me. Where am I at? Like what things are coming down the line? That's weird. It's a weird shift for me. and but just helping you see like your job as a CEO is to own the vision. And most of the time you walk out of meetings without tasks. Now, if you are having tasks, that's okay, but make sure that they're truly CEO tasks that only you can do. And usually they tie to vision.   Profit culture. That's pretty much, and sometimes it will be like leading edge of a new initiative. So if you're wanting to build out a surgery center in your business, you're probably gonna be doing that right alongside with it, with your with your office manager. So what it looks like when it's broken and you are not owning the vision, and every task is coming to you is team constantly asks you what to do. You priorities are changing weekly, doctors making every decision or a lot of the decisions, like what toys are we buying for the toy box?   when should we schedule lunch? When should we have this person in? That means like you're still doing a lot of this, you're still managing your business, you're not leading and guiding it. So, like what a CEO dentist would do is you set a clear vision. This is where we're headed, this is where we're going. You have the priorities, this is what's happening in the next three months, and then you communicate what success looks like. So you see how there's a shift. The daily tasks are still getting done. You can still oversee them. You still have a manager who you meet with.   But you're not the one doing this. You're not stamping off on that. And I will tell you, it's a really awkward, it's really weird, but it's very freeing. And ultimately what it does is it also like we're doing a mastermind talking about Dan Martell's buy back your time. And that one we've got to just make sure we figure it out. And we like when you buy back your time, I look at my tasks and I think if I can have anybody do this task for less than four X what my hourly rate is, I need to do it.   And I need to push myself into my own comfort zone. And I need to be working on things that I can't also like right now. The projects I'm working on, like I can I can do my own confirmation calls, I could book my own travel, like I could stamp off on where team members are going and PTO and like lots of people can do that. What people can't do in our company is figure out where the next level of Dental A Team is going. And I that's my job. That's what I'm paid to do. That is literally Kiera's job. I still podcast with you guys, I still hang out, like.   Other people can podcast, these are things that I really enjoy. But I've simplified it down. I only block this much time in my calendar. So I have much more of my time that's dedicated to building our company. No one else is doing that. I'm literally the only person that does it. So for you to go from solving daily problems to leading the quarterly planning, leading team priorities, having the team become proactive and less dependent on you. So that would be what success looks like. So that's building a leadership team. We love to do this. We help build leadership teams. We help you to run your quarterly meetings and   Set up those rocks and teach the team how they're able to drive and influence rather than being dependent on the doctor. You're still there. You still get to help them. You still get to influence them. You still get to mentor them. Those pieces are going to be great for you. So what happens here is teams actually need you to be the lighthouse. And my team told me this. They said, Kiera, I know you want to be in the weeds with us, but we actually need you to be the lighthouse of like where the heck are we going? Because none of us can see that. And without your guidance and your direction, we're all going to be lost. And like   I like shirk over here. To me, that sometimes doesn't feel as good because I can't check a check mark. And I know that sounds so ridiculous. And I think that sometimes this is why people do sit in the day-to-day manager rather than into the visionary CEO seat because the day-to-day tasks feel good. Having the like I'm just gonna call myself out. This is speaking to Kiera. I'm having an intervention with myself over here. This is where I am wanting to be important.   me stamping off on things makes me feel like I have control. Me telling a team what to do, there's so many people that report to me. That's a freaking ego. My team does not need that. Do you know how many great leaders and managers I have in my team? They do not need me. I do not need to be stamping off on everything. Now, do we have a maturing team right now? Absolutely. Do we have a lot of like I feel like we shook the snow globe based on where we're headed? Absolutely. But that doesn't mean it's a forever seat for me. It's a temporary, it's an interim, and I know that they know that. So it's sitting there just in the interim.   and so what I would do for this is help your team feel empowered, where we can we move you to what are the three goals for the practice? What are the quarterly plans? Who's responsible, not the dentist? And then questions that come to a doctor. I want you to truly start asking, like, is this something only I can do? And if so, solve it. And if not, start delegating and having empowering your team to do it. This will help you. This is going to have it. So   That's CEO shift number one. Number two, I would say know your numbers that drive your business. and this I've talked about, I've harped on, there's so many podcasts on this. I just want you to know your performance. So you've got to look at your numbers before things feel wrong. You need to know numbers beyond production, and you need to make decisions on those numbers always. You gotta be looking at your KPI scorecard, your overhead, your PL. And every single month minimum, you are looking at like be the CFO. Like,   A CEO works with a CFO, and until you're large enough, you need to know these numbers forward and backwards. Your office manager should be preparing them, you should be looking at them, but you have got to know the numbers of your business. I'm not saying you need to be the one who preps all the reports, but you have to know what's going on. So that way you're able to see, are we making money? Are we not making money? And I think so many dentists get into this hustle and bustle of like, I'm just gonna go produce, produce, produce. And I'm like, Do you realize that if you just spent a little bit of that production time on looking at your numbers, you would actually be able to know.   rather than guess. You would be able to work less and create more. And so I just really think for you to start shifting. So number one is you got to set the vision and the culture and you got to have your team do it. You set the priorities, you define that where we're going and you communicate what success looks like. You're not solving every decision. Next step is you're using your numbers to make every single decision and you're having a monthly meeting on numbers. Money monthly meeting there you go money monthly meeting and you know what it is.   You know your numbers today, forward and backward. You know what your overhead is. You know where we're spending more, you know where we're spending less. You know what your profit margins are, and you know what you need to produce to cover all your expenses, including paying yourself. You need to review that every single month at a minimum. Set it up with your CPA, force yourself. Like that's what I do. I have a meeting with my CPA. I don't really need to talk to them, but that's Kiera's time where it forces me to look at the numbers, to review where I'm at, to make sure that I'm making decisions based on that. And then the third thing is going from an operator to an owner.   Is you've got to have leaders and systems so there's less dependency on you. so if we lucked again, I think about myself like if I were to leave, what things are gonna break in two months? That's where we start with those systems and that scalability. and what am I going to put into play? What am I going to do? What is going to happen? Like, where is this going to get resolved? And we start having those systems and those people built into those leadership spots.   So I really want to make sure that you guys have that of this is where it's the systems, the structure and the scalability. And I think the Dental A Team does such a good job of this. Like we know the systems to put into place for you. Like they're very basic, they're very minimal. Most things can get resolved. We have decision trees that are in there. We help your leaders look at the numbers so they know how to make the decisions too while you're gone. And this way it continues to grow and there's no more dependency upon you. You can truly step away. So   If you have this, I think that oftentimes doctors and office managers are firefighters and it's like, my gosh, care, I'm so exhausted and everything's coming to me. And it's like, okay, great, we're gonna make a list of everything coming to you. We're gonna chunk those into like what categories do they fit into. Then from there, we're gonna figure out who should be the owner of this, what protocols need to go into place, and what systems could reduce this. That way, when you go, then what we typically do is we recommend that you do actually schedule like a two-week, like start there.   vacation where you're going to be gone and the practice is still going to operate. And we want to just see what breaks. We're going to do the same thing for our office manager because we want to be able to make sure that this practice can truly start to function without you. Now, again, I get to a spot and I'm like, I'm on this path and I want to be the CEO of it, and I don't want to be there every day where I have to be there. And then I actually like achieve it. And I'm like, my gosh, who is Kiera? What is it like? What is my life if this doesn't happen? And what's   What's my own like what's my purpose? And I think this is where a lot of people get trapped in the cycle of your purpose is not to be doing tasks. Your purpose, like they still need you to set the vision. It's not something I can ever stamp off and say, I've done this, this, and this. I can't stamp a check mark on a vision. I can't step a check mark on a culture. Those things are almost like these soft skills, like they're they're soft. Like I can say I have a vision, I can say I have a mission statement. I can say we have a great culture. I do check, check, check.   But ultimately they're intangibles. They're things that people feel. They're things that people experience. And honestly, when I get to a point where I'm like, wow, the business can run without me. Sometimes I go in and I create chaos because I want to be needed. And I want to just caution you that as you're going to this, whiplashing a team can actually be so detrimental to them. Sending them on, like, I want to be here. But then you come in and you undercut everybody. This is me talking to myself. I'm sure none of you do this. So sorry, Dental A Team.   I do it. And it's I have to recognize that that's ego. That's not serving anybody, including myself. It's not serving my team. So if I have great leaders, which I do, I've got an amazing leadership team. But if I constantly go in and I'm answering questions in Slack and I'll calm myself out on this of like, that was wrong. That's not my place to overstep. And I need to connect in with the leader. you can have the best of intentions, but if you're not willing to let leaders grow, you're not willing to truly want to be the CEO, don't   Preach it unless you actually are going to execute on it. You can have sluts like small setbacks, but you need to own it. You need to call yourself out and you need to move forward and your team needs to be able to trust you and have confidence with you. These are pieces that are non-negotiable for me. You have to check yourself and recognize that there's an ego that's chirping in the background, that's chirping. It's loud, it's annoying. It wants you to do all these things, but that doesn't mean that that's right. It doesn't mean that you should do that. It means that you have a chirpy ego that needs to zip it and you need to be the CEO.   You need to trust your leaders. 80% of them doing it is better than 100% of you doing it. So when you look at this for this, what are kind of the steps of you owning the vision, not every single task, you knowing the numbers of your business and making decisions based on that? And then making sure you're truly building leaders and systems that reduce dependency on you and you truly are stepping into that CEO seat, you're trusting and empowering your leaders to do it. They can do it. Develop the leaders, create accountability and build systems for consistency. And if you struggle there,   Reach out. That's what we're good at. We do this. We help you build the fundamentals for you. Get the vision in place. Teach you what your job description is. Call you out when you're stepping in your lane that you're not supposed to be in and say, get over there. They've got this. They can handle it. Teach your leaders how to run effective meetings, how to hold accountability lines. This is what it is. Your goal is not to be the busiest person in the practice. Your goal is to be the leader that helps your practice thrive and truly helps them and gets out of their freaking way.   I'm thinking about a doctor right now, and this doctor says they want to be the CEO. They say they're not growing. They're at the office all the time. And I'm like, you've got a leadership team, but you get in their way. You want the chaos. You don't get out of there. You live in this chaos day in, day out. That's your emotional home, and you go there because it's comfortable for you. You have to start doing things differently if you want a different life. So this is a call out to all of you. If you really want to be the CEO of your practice, you've got to own that step out and get out of their way and get your   chirpy ego to zip their lips. You've got to change how you lead. You've got to change how you're working. You've got to change the priorities you're doing. It's awkward. It's uncomfortable. I've surely sat in bed a few times and cried and been like, my team doesn't even need me. And then I like wipe my tears and I get up and I'm like, you will never say that again and you're going to move forward because they do need you. They just don't need you to do every task for them. I'm not an operator. I'm an owner of this business. My job is to lead.   To guide, to mentor, and to be the one who is sharp and to create the space, to give me the space to dream, to figure out the next layer, to read the books, to move into the next evolution of growth. That's my job. No one else is doing that. And that's your job as well. So if you feel like your practice can't function without you, maybe it's time to step into the CEO role and like let's be more intentional and let's get them to be able to function without you. Next level of growth is gonna come from changing how you lead, not how hard you work. So.   If you're ready to change, reach out. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. Come to webinars or whatever it is, but make the change now. Commit to that. And your CEO role can look very different. But ultimately, the goal is to not be the busiest person, but to be the person who guides, leads, and gets out of their way and empowers your team to do this without you. Set the vacation, set the deadline, and let's make it happen. This is what we do. We help you guys. So reach out. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. Commit to being the CEO of your practice. You can do it. I know you can. I've been able to evolve.   It's an evolution. This is why we have our mastermind in person. So doctors can talk to each other. They can share their woes. We can talk as CEOs together. We can talk about the things we're doing. We can call each other out because we see it in each other. Come be a part of that. Don't do this alone. It's really hard to do on your own. Come be a part of it. I'd love to have you be a part of it. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com And as always, thanks for listening. I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team podcast.

Gather round for another parenting storytime.     This one is something that's happened to most parents at one point or another with at least one of their children.    I usually keep a little cash on hand in the event we need something.    I went to dig into the stash cause there's something Amy wanted and I noticed there was some money missing.    We have maids, nannies, and people at the house but didn't want to go accusing anyone, so we started asking the boys.    I called all 3 of my boys outside and told them there was some money missing.    Did any of you take money from my room?   Asher: "No."    Jax: "Yes."   I told them that money was theirs. They worked for it, but all they had to do was ask.   I told them, "If you want something, don't just take it."   I continued by telling them "Guys, your word is your bond and if I can't trust you and you can't trust me, then what are we doing here?"   They aplogized and understood, but let that be a lesson.      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP Well, I don't think anybody expected that to happen… Guys, welcome along to this rest day special episode of the Race Communiqué. I'm joined by Luke Durbridge - getting his last few days of relaxation in before heading across to Canada - to wrap up everything we've seen in an absolutely crazy first week at La Vuelta.  Of course, how could we not discuss the biggest news of the race…and maybe even the season: Tadej Pogačar has crashed out of La Vuelta! After absolutely dominating the first week of the race, the Slovenian superstar hit the deck at high speed on stage eight and suffered a concussion, a fractured collarbone, and a fractured vertebrae.  That is a pretty serious list of injuries for Pogi, and casts a lot of doubt over the rest of his 2026 season. Here's hoping that he can get fit and healthy again and get back to racing when he's ready.  With Pog out, the race really has been turned on its head. Mas has moved into the race lead, and all of a sudden there are opportunities for all sorts of riders to potentially win a grand tour.  Once Durbo and I recap the race so far, we get a special voice note from the big man - Tom Southam - on his way back from driving the EF Team car for the first part of La Vuelta. He gives us his take on Pog's crash and what that means for the race.  As sad as Pog's departure is, the race continues without him. It's a cruel sport, hey? How is the rest of this year's Vuelta going to play out? Will we see any more big surprises? Who's going to win? We discuss all this and more on this special rest day Race Communiqué.

Why This Episode MattersNicholas Harary explains why he chose to reinvent one of New Jersey's most acclaimed fine-dining restaurants before the business forced him to.A surprisingly technical look at what separates great ice cream from mediocre ice cream: butterfat, overrun, and the cold chain.Nicholas, Mark Pascal and Francis Schott debate whether traditional fine dining is dead or simply evolving.The conversation turns to Michelin: what its stars mean today, how the Guide's expansion model complicates perceptions of independence, and why restaurateurs should always focus on the customers in the room.BanterMark and Francis return from Sonoma with stories from Paul Hobbs' 35th anniversary, smoke drifting across wine country and conversations with winemakers about what actually causes smoke taint. They make it onto Martinelli's famously steep Jackass Hill where tasting zinfandel grapes directly from vines behind a wine he has loved for decades proves considerably more appealing than actually working a harvest.The ConversationNicholas Harary and his wife, Melissa, opened Restaurant Nicholas in 2000 and spent two decades building it into one of New Jersey's defining fine-dining restaurants. But Nicholas had already begun another chapter. What started in 2018 as a small seasonal ice cream shop where their kids might work became Nicholas Creamery. On opening weekend, police were directing traffic while Nicholas realized the 300 gallons of ice cream they had made weren't going to be enough.That leads to a deep dive into ice cream: why controlling temperature matters, why Nicholas had a freezer truck custom-built, how butterfat and overrun affect quality, and what happens when you melt different commercial ice creams side by side. Nicholas also explains the elaborate process behind flavors such as bourbon barrel-aged coffee chocolate chunk.Then the conversation moves from ice cream to reinvention. Even after Restaurant Nicholas had its best year, Nicholas could see diners changing. Rather than gradually dilute what the restaurant had been, he closed it and rebuilt the concept as the much more casual Nicholas Barrel & Roost. His philosophy is simple: if your business looks exactly the same five years from now, you may have a problem.Nicholas, Mark and Francis debate whether the version of fine dining they grew up with is gone and what has replaced it. They ask what gets lost when restaurants begin designing for the camera as much as the diner. Finally, they tackle the Michelin Guide from changing definitions of a Michelin-worthy restaurant to the financial arrangements used to bring Michelin into new markets before Nicholas offers his advice to younger chefs: concentrate on the people inside your restaurant, not the people outside talking about it.Guest BioNicholas Harary is the chef and restaurateur behind Nicholas Barrel & Roost, Nicholas Creamery and Nicholas Wines. He and his wife Melissa opened Restaurant Nicholas in 2000; during its 20-year run, the restaurant received an “extraordinary” from The New York Times Harary later transformed the space into the more casual Nicholas Barrel & Roost while expanding Nicholas Creamery across New Jersey.Timestamps00:00 Sonoma, smoke taint and Jackass Hill08:08 Nicholas Harary joins the Guys09:50 How Nicholas Creamery unexpectedly took off14:40 Why the cold chain matters for great ice cream17:00 Butterfat, overrun and what you're really paying for21:05 Jersey flavors and bourbon barrel-aged coffee ice cream23:30 Why Nicholas walked away from fine dining at its peak28:25 Is fine dining dying or just changing?34:45 What does a Michelin star mean now?42:15 Michelin, Sysco and the appearance of impartialityInfoNicholas Barrel and Roosthttps://www.barrelandroost.com/Nicholas Creameryhttps://www.nicholascreamery.com/Nicholas Wineshttps://www.nicholaswines.com/We're bringing our kitchen to the farm!Join us at Dreyer Farms in Cranford, NJ for a Table-to-Farm Dinner.Sunday, September 13 @ 5:30https://www.stageleft.com/event/91326-table-to-farm-dinner/ Subscribe: Restaurant Guys' Regularhttps://restaurantguysregulars.buzzsprout.com/Magyar Bankhttps://www.magbank.com/Stage Left Wine Shophttps://www.stageleftwineshop.com/Our PlacesStage Left Steakhttps://www.stageleft.com/Catherine Lombardi Restauranthttps://www.catherinelombardi.com/Stage Left Wineshophttps://www.stageleftwineshop.com/Reach Out to The Guys!TheGuys@restaurantguyspodcast.com

Step inside the quiet, graveyard shift of the KLIF newsroom during the early hours of Saturday, November 23, 1963, where Jack Ruby stands at the locked glass doors clutching a cardboard box of cold corned beef sandwiches. Having just spent the midnight hours brokering an exclusive interview with District Attorney Henry Wade, Jack returns to collect his reward—access to the inner broadcast sanctum. But as we pull back the curtain on this midnight visit, a bizarre series of eyewitness contradictions emerges, with three different newsmen all claiming they were the one to unlock the door for Jack. Once inside, the frantic nightclub owner is desperate to hear the playback of his facilitated scoop, pacing the floor, and standing in eerie silence as he stares blankly at the floor.We also expose the chilling reality of his movements, analyzing his sudden announcement that he is closing his clubs for the weekend—a gesture that sounded like paralyzing national grief to the newsmen, but effectively cleared his calendar of all operational distractions. Even more unsettlingly, while Jack stood quietly in the active broadcasting booth during the live 2:00 a.m. newscast, his loaded, nickel-plated .38 Colt Cobra revolver was hidden in his right front pocket, completely unnoticed by the overnight staff. We contrast this frantic behavior with the insights of Dallas columnist Tony Zoppi, who famously argued that the syndicate would have to be "crazy" to trust a talkative, "Guys and Dolls" character like Jack with a high-level mob conspiracy. Instead, we explore Jack's compulsive "protective reflex," showing how his emotional unraveling mirrored his historical manic episodes whenever his underworld idol, Lewis McWillie, fell into trouble.Finally, we track the final, dark chronological sequence of Saturday morning. We detail a highly suspicious 2:30 a.m. meeting near Simon's garage, where Jack sat for over an hour inside a parked car with Carousel dancer Kathy Kay and Dallas police officer Harry Olsen—who would resign days later and claim a total memory blackout of the conversation. The episode reaches a surreal climax at 4:10 a.m. inside the Dallas Times Herald composing room. There, less than twelve hours after the president was assassinated, Jack begins swiveling his hips and demonstrating a plastic-wrapped "twist board" exercise gadget to night printers, before stopping dead in his tracks to point at Lee Harvey Oswald's name and mutter: "That little weasel."

The Guys talk about the nearly universally-panned single T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever.) So awful that J-Lo has never mentioned it aside from posting the music video when it was first released, this song is about as bad as you can get without talking about endangering peoples' well-being and/or safety.

He's back!  And he's regrettable.  Jay has returned to the studio and this time Robbie didn't forget his segment.  In fact, it's a Jay's Regrettable Segment Roundup, with three - that's right, the magic number - three Regrettable Supervillains to relay and rate this week.   And be warned: the redeemable badge is particularly hard to come by this go-round.  They start with Dr. Voodoo vs Wonder Man (and it's not the one you think), Fang up against The Snowman (he's no Olaf, but he'll do), and Hawk swooping down unsuccessfully on The Barker, a story of magic and mayhem at your local circus.  If you've ever heard of any of these, you must have read the book, too.  And it's unlikely you'll ever hear of them again.   Casting news is two-thirds of the Geeks of the Week segment, with Art's update from X-Men casting reveals at D23, and Jay (almost) getting his chance to talk about Dr. Who showing up in unlikely places.  Robbie is just sad that he'll no longer get music CD's from Columbia House.  And all The Guys will be sad if you don't listen to this episode.  Don't be a regrettable…just be a Super Listener.

This is a Vintage episode from 2006.You're hearing a preview of this subscriber bonus episode. Restaurant Guys' Regulars can hear the full episode, plus other commercial-free bonus episodes, at  restaurantguysregulars.buzzsprout.com .Why This Episode MattersWhy one of the world's most prized ingredients commands extraordinary prices.How truffle cultivation began challenging the romantic image of hunters searching the woods with trained dogs.Why aroma, scarcity and spectacle are as important to the allure of truffles as flavor.What happens when restaurants get their hands on thousands of dollars' worth of an ingredient that doesn't stay fresh for long.BanterMark Pascal and Francis Schott begin with a tale of New Jersey lobster justice that makes Maine's system of informal fishing rules look positively genteel. A territorial dispute involving lobster pots somehow progresses to gunfire, arson and a neighboring boat unfortunately parked in the wrong slip.Then, reports of people eating, and even cooking and driving, while asleep lead Mark to identify the true indignity: consuming thousands of calories without even getting to remember the meal.The ConversationFood writer Jane Black joins Mark and Francis after traveling through Spain to report on the changing world of truffles.The romantic picture is familiar: a hunter and his dog wandering through the woods in search of an elusive underground treasure. What Jane found instead were truffle orchards, inoculated trees and farmers trying to turn an unpredictable delicacy into a viable agricultural business.They explore why truffles became so scarce and expensive, how a former peasant food became one of dining's ultimate luxury ingredients, and why their remarkable aroma may matter more than their actual taste. Jane and the Guys also get into the sensual reputation of truffles, the theater of shaving them tableside and the questionable proliferation of truffle oil.Then come the cautionary tales: an enormously valuable white truffle purchased at a charity auction that was locked in a safe and allowed to rot, and Francis's considerably more personal horror story about a chef who received thousands of dollars' worth of beautiful fresh truffles—and immediately preserved them in oil.2026 update: At the time of this conversation, successful cultivation of the prized Italian white truffle (Tuber magnatum) remained elusive. Researchers have since documented controlled production of the species in a French orchard.Guest BioJane Black is a food journalist who covers food, culture, politics and sustainability. At the time of this interview, she was food editor at Boston Magazine and had written for publications including The New York Times, The Washington Post, BusinessWeek and Newsweek International. She later became a staff writer at The Washington Post and co-host of the James Beard Award-winning podcast Pressure Cooker.Timestamps0:00 New Jersey vigilante lobster justice4:35 Sleep eating, Ambien and forgotten calories7:20 Jane Black enters the changing world of truffles12:00 How truffles went from peasant food to luxury15:00 Why truffles smell like sex—and why aroma matters22:20 The $35,000 truffle disaster, Francis's truffle tragedy and the future of cultivationInfoJane's article on truffles“Cultivating a Mystique,” The New York Times (2006) Our PlacesStage Left Steakhttps://www.stageleft.com/Catherine Lombardi Restauranthttps://www.catherinelombardi.com/Stage Left Wineshophttps://www.stageleftwineshop.com/Reach Out to The Guys!TheGuys@restaurantguyspodcast.com

There are bats in the desert, ether in the trunk, a lawyer in the bathtub, and absolutely no chance this trip ends well. This week, The 3 Guys buckle into the red convertible and barrel headfirst into Terry Gilliam's 1998 hallucinogenic fever dream, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Johnny Depp becomes Hunter S. Thompson's unhinged alter ego Raoul Duke, Benicio Del Toro brings menace and madness as Dr. Gonzo, and Las Vegas transforms into a neon-soaked carnival of drugs, paranoia, broken dreams, and very questionable decisions. The guys navigate the Mint 400, the infamous hotel trashed suites, Gonzo's terrifying bathtub meltdown, the narcotics convention, bizarre celebrity cameos, killer needle drops, Dutch angles, warped lenses, and enough psychedelic camera work to make you wonder if somebody slipped mescaline into your headphones. But beneath the bats, booze, acid, ether, and general depravity, is Gilliam's movie actually a eulogy for the failed idealism of the 1960s and the death of the American Dream, or is it just one spectacularly exhausting bad trip? Buy the ticket. Take the ride.

There are things you've done that you wish you could take back. Choices you regret. Sins you're ashamed of. Parts of your story you wish no one knew. And even after you've repented, there can still be a voice inside that says: “God may forgive you…but He can't really love you the same.” Guys, that is a lie. This week in our Power Made Perfect series, we move from repentance to reconciliation. Repentance is when we turn around and head back toward the Father. Reconciliation is what happens when we discover who is waiting for us when we get there. Just like the prodigal son, we can come home expecting to be treated like a servant. But the Father says: No. You are still my son. In this week's episode, John covers:

Things deteriorate from there. A New York Times story about changing bachelor parties sparks a conversation about great food, excessive drinking and what actually makes a night memorable.Then come the restaurant stories: security deposits, chicken suits, and three unexpected strippers.The ConversationMark Pascal and Francis Schott find the ridiculous side of food, restaurants and the ways people celebrate.First, a cookbook associated with The Real Housewives of New Jersey offers some reasonable food advice and one rule Mark and Francis are unlikely to forget: never eat anything that could also be a stripper's name. Cookie, Candy and Cupcake quickly lead to Bambi, Bunny and the question of what Michael Pollan would make of all this.Then a story about increasingly food-focused bachelor parties gets them talking about why a great meal might be more memorable than the traditional blowout. Naturally, this leads to their own restaurant experience including a three-page rulebook that clearly existed for a reason and a bachelor party that somehow acquired three strippers from elsewhere in the building.Subscribe: Restaurant Guys' Regularhttps://restaurantguysregulars.buzzsprout.com/Magyar Bankhttps://www.magbank.com/Stage Left Wine Shophttps://www.stageleftwineshop.com/Our PlacesStage Left Steakhttps://www.stageleft.com/Catherine Lombardi Restauranthttps://www.catherinelombardi.com/Stage Left Wineshophttps://www.stageleftwineshop.com/Reach Out to The Guys!TheGuys@restaurantguyspodcast.com

visit: https://www.ysguys.comDave McCann and Blaine Fowler open a truly global episode of Y's Guys — with viewers chiming in from Singapore, Cambodia, Italy, Australia, New Zealand and across Cougar Nation — by running down a stacked stretch of preseason news heading into the Sept. 5 opener against Utah Tech. BYU checks in at No. 6 in ESPN's preseason power rankings (per Mark Schlabach), running back LJ Martin picks up preseason Second Team All-America honors from USA Today and the AP along with Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year buzz, and Bret McMurphy's AP-voter research names BYU the single most underrated preseason team in the country over the last 12 years. National forecasters pile on from there: Stewart Mandel (New York Times) has BYU going 11-1 and winning the Big 12, while CBS Sports and CFB Kings both project the Cougars reaching the College Football Playoff.Former Cougar linebacker and current BYUtv football analyst Harvey Langi joins for the back half of the news segment, pulling back the curtain on NFL cutdown day — the anxiety of waiting for "the grim reaper" to call, and how some of the league's biggest stars (Taysom Hill, Zach Wilson, Todd Christensen, Fred Warner) turned early setbacks into Hall of Fame-caliber careers. He then breaks down what a healthy, more experienced Bear Bachmeier means for BYU's offense entering year two, how he'd scheme to defend him, and closes with his own ranking of BYU's five toughest games of the season — landing on Arizona, not Notre Dame, as the No. 1 measuring-stick game.The second hour brings the Re-Lyte Athlete of the Week (soccer's Emma Hamberlin, who scored twice to beat USC), a big basketball headline as BYU beats out Kentucky for transfer big man Jaxon Kohler, and a full campus-notes sweep across women's basketball (Delaney Gibb and Canada's run to the 2028 Olympic qualifying final), soccer, volleyball, cross country and baseball. Two Hotel Park City/Ruth's Chris BYU Super Fans round out the show — Greg Schroeder of Twin Falls, Idaho and Provo-studio guest Dean Taylor — each sharing their Cougar histories and playing a round of "Where Were You?" through classic BYU moments, before the Redmond Roots Rollout and a look ahead to next Monday's Game Week Bonanza with Jaren Hall, Rod Zundel, Adam Edmunds and Michael Johanson.Timestamps (approximate):0:00 – Show Open: Live From Singapore to Cambodia, Cougar Nation Tunes In9:31 – BYU vs. Utah Tech Game Week Details + BYU Cracks ESPN's Top 611:04 – LJ Martin's Historic Preseason All-American Honors12:54 – BYU Named Most Underrated Preseason Team in the Country16:27 – Stewart Mandel Predicts BYU Wins the Big 12 and Reaches the CFP21:11 – Week Zero College Football Preview + Cougars in the NFL Before Cutdown Day28:11 – Harvey Langi Joins the Show30:10 – Inside NFL Cutdown Day: Harvey Langi on the "Grim Reaper"35:11 – Harvey Langi on Taysom Hill, Zach Wilson & the Biggest Cuts in NFL History43:00 – How Would You Defend Bear Bachmeier?

What if the addiction isn't actually the problem?In this episode of Just the Guys, we're joined by author, speaker, and podcast host Jon Seidl, whose journey through anxiety, OCD, alcoholism, trauma, and recovery has led him to an unexpected conclusion: lasting change doesn't happen by simply removing the behavior; it happens when we discover what's underneath it. Together we explore:Why addiction is often an attempt to escape something deeperThe relationship between trauma, fear, shame, and unhealthy copingADHD, neurodiversity, and why research shows higher vulnerability to addictionWhy understanding our brains explains behavior—but never excuses itThe difference between identity and diagnosisHow "special interests," work, ministry, food, gaming, pornography, alcohol, or success can all become misplaced prioritiesWhat it means to get to the root instead of simply modifying behaviorWhy the gospel offers something far deeper than behavior managementHow the church can become a safer place for confession instead of condemnationWhy true freedom isn't learning to manage an addiction—it's no longer needing it to escapeOne of the most powerful moments comes when Jon shares the words that changed his life. His wife didn't tell him to stop drinking. She challenged him to discover why he needed alcohol in the first place. That question became the beginning of real healing. Whether you've wrestled with addiction, anxiety, ADHD, compulsive behaviors, or simply find yourself escaping into work, ministry, hobbies, food, or endless distraction, this conversation offers hope that transformation is possible. Jon talks about his later-in-life discovery of ADHD.Because every addiction is asking a deeper question.And every heart longs for real freedom.ResourcesGuest: Jon SeidlFinding Rest: A Survivor's Guide to Navigating the Valleys of Anxiety, Faith & LifeConfessions of a Christian AlcoholicPodcast, blog, and nonprofit: ChristianAlcoholic.com If this episode encouraged you, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who could use the reminder that freedom begins—not by managing the symptom—but by discovering the root.

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. The Sox are exactly who they have been telling us they are. They will break your hearts then cause you to believe in October baseball. Up and down will continue to happen but, hey, it's better than another 100 loss season. With 32 games left on the schedule, the Sox have a magic number 29. Guys like Peters, Kay, Grichuk and Mune have made Getz look pretty good yet acquisitions of Castillo, Bart, Doyle and Brazoban have not had nearly that same effect. Keep wining the series. Every game matters. Texas then Minnesota... Don't Stop Believing. Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

This week the Guys are talking Haitian rum from Rhum Barbancourt. They discuss the brand's long history and sample through 4 expressions (and a cocktail) to find out what this brand has to offer.

The Guys officially gave the podcast a makeover, prioritizing actual game talk and industry news before spiraling into their new, mandatory segment, "You're wrong because reasons." They dove into the chaotic energy of managing a gas station and hunting deer for Juice in Goo Deer, dissected the strategy of Unicorn Overlord, and had a collective "we're officially old" moment while celebrating Samsung's new hearing-aid earbuds. Amidst the existential dread over digital-only game ownership, The Guys also took a trip down memory lane to their childhoods—where "replayability" meant playing Mega Man or Final Fantasy 7 on loop simply because that was the only game they could afford.

Episode 459: The biggest story of Thursday night across the baseball world didn't come from Major League Baseball—it came from a charity game in Massachusetts. Jared notched another hit in the Oldtime Baseball Game, and the video has caught fire. Dallas, Jay Hay, and Tyler react to the clip, his unique running style, and even commend his bravery. The conversation then shifts to a potentially sport-shattering development out of Los Angeles. Dodgers majority owner Mark Walter finds himself in the crosshairs of serious financial investigations. His reported urgency to raise capital quickly has raised more questions than answers. The guys offer a surface-level breakdown before diving deeper into the possible ramifications for the upcoming CBA. Building off the Dodgers' high-dollar issues, Dallas notes that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is on the verge of posting one of the most jarring, jaw-dropping stats in baseball. The crew examines his power outage—both in Toronto and overall—and what it could mean for his $500 million mega-contract.

Re-releasing a Dental A-Team podcast fan favorite! Britt is fresh off visiting a ton of practices, many of which are part of dental support organizations (DSOs), and she's sharing her insight. With Kiera, she talks about the foundational pieces to set up DSOs for success — everything from training the leadership team, setting up KPIs, providing profit and loss statement education, and allowing culture and patient experience to grow in each practice while keeping an overall brand. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera. And today we are bringing you something so special. I am so excited because this is one of our most popular episodes from the archives. Whether you're hearing this for the first time or catching it again, I am so excited because it's jam packed with a ton of takeaways that you can start using right now in your practice. We have released thousands, literally thousands of episodes. And I wanted to start bringing a few of these amazing episodes back for you. So I hope you enjoy. And as always, thanks for listening and I'll catch you next time.   on the Dental A Team podcast.   speaker-0 (00:31) and I've got the one and only Brittany Stone back on the pod. Guys, she has been a freaking road warrior, traveling to seven offices in one day. Dang, Britt. Welcome back. How you doing? How you feeling? How are you today?   speaker-1 (00:45) I'm good. You made me sound better than I was in one day. Seven in a week. Still a lot, but seven in a week.   speaker-0 (00:51) Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. We could edit that or you guys can just know. in my mind, I think it felt like you were seven in a day. Like you were cruising   speaker-1 (00:58) Yeah.   speaker-0 (01:00) to practices. Seven in a week is so many offices. But guys, don't worry, Britt wasn't like leaving them high and dry hanging out. You were seeing it kind of walk us through. I know you went to quite a few DSOs that had multi practices, multi locations. Kind of what was that like and and how does that even look when you're going to multiple practices like that?   speaker-1 (01:19) Yeah, it's fun. So that was it was a week of my like multi practice location. So one had three offices, one had four offices, the two groups that I work with last week. And so it's fun. It's fun to see one you get to know kind of like the visionaries who who started a thing, whether it's just an owner or multiple partners that are involved in it, get to see kind of their vision and it's it's fun to see   the different also types of practices that are underneath their umbrellas and how they run 'cause usually we've got some different sizes, obviously different locations. So so yeah, I got to go in, meet everybody, go see all the different practices, kind of see what's going on with them, what things we could help with on an individual practice level and then also as an organization. So it was a good time.   speaker-0 (02:07) That's a lot. And I I do think it is fun when you go see multiple practices because this whole idea of DSO is that we want all of our practices to run exactly the same. And I know when I was a regional manager of ten practices, the bottom line is there is no such thing as running every practice the same. I think it's more like getting rid of that illusion that they're all going to be the same. And it's more what are the foundational pieces and the the silver lining strings that we want running amongst them all. Britt, I know you had one practice,   that kind of wanted to do their own thing within a group. Like, how do you how do you get like one, paint the vision of all the practices needing to be at least fundamentally pretty consistent and similar. And then also helping the doctors and the team members understand like, I get it, it might be annoying for you, but for the greater good of all the practices, it really does make everything easier when we run the same. Because I know a lot of practices just want to run as solo practices, but when you're in a group and multi-offices   that no longer serves the greater organization. Like what was kind of your findings with that? How do you how are you finding to get people on board? Is that something you were running into? Just kinda give us your thoughts around that.   speaker-1 (03:16) Yeah, I think every DSO probably struggles or like group practice struggles with all right, how much do we have the same and like where can we kind of let them be their own and shine in their own way? And also from the business side of things for the DSO, right? What things are more financially beneficial for us to be able to do them the same and have on the same system? so that we run it across all offices and get the true benefit of the DSO.   And so that's where you s kind of start to to figure out, all right, there's gonna be a lot of systems that one, yes, anything that impacts other offices or the group overall, we've gotta make the best decision for the group on how we want that to run, whether it's but easy things like payroll is a pretty pretty common one that's gotta be obviously the same across all over offices. If we're using the same software, right, the way we run our schedule, who's allowed to be on our schedule.   All of those things kinda need guidelines that go across the board. So we all know a little bit of the rules of engagement on things like the schedule. So that's kinda I start to think of it as all right, what are the most important things that impact each other that we need to have the same that's also gonna allow us to be most financially beneficial for the DSO? And then what things don't necessarily impact the other offices where those offices can start to really like, all right, what are procedures you do? Great, go run with it, build it up and   Even if we can get some referrals from other offices for that thing, fantastic and they kinda kinda do their own a little bit.   speaker-0 (04:48) For sure.   And but I was thinking like it actually might be fun on this podcast for us to dive into when you're in a DSO, because Br I know your private practice sold to a DSO. I work with lots of DSOs. You work with lots of DSOs. And I think DSOs are a pretty hot buzzword right now in dentistry. of kind of what are some of those things that you should have standardized. I love that you brought up the payroll for sure. for me, some of the things I know I'm looking at is I really am just looking at   Key metrics amongst all practices. And I know, Britt, with a lot of the DSOs that you and I are consulting together, that is one of the biggest things of making sure all of them are hitting the metrics. And then whatever they want to do outside of those metrics, it's pretty much free reign from there. So, like we're talking labs, supplies, overhead, production per hour per provider, hygiene production.   those are like my main things. Case acceptance is another one I really like to watch. Number of new patients per practice is another key indicator that I really love watching. but those are kind of the main things. And then I really feel like in DSOs and multi practices, some of the biggest things that get lost are culture and patient experience. And those are to be different shades for every practice. And I really I like practices to think in like, no, you want the patient to feel the exact same way whether they come to this location.   Or whether they're going to another location. It is that way. And having practices and offices think like I've got one right now and they just acquired another practice. And they're really doing a divide between the offices. And they're they're labeling each office based on the city. I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. let's call them all the practice name. So we are all, let's just say, healthy smiles. It's not healthy smiles of probos and healthy smiles of orum. It is   Healthy smiles, and then we have our Aurum location and our provo location. Those are just a quick way because I think when you can have it as an umbrella of all the practices operate as this way, and then here's these different locations, but helping everyone realize there is the healthy smiles way. And we operate on healthy smiles first. Secondary is going to be our location. Are those some of the things you've seen? Like those are one, the key indicators I like to look at. And then secondly, making sure that people realize like the culture and the patient experience.   really need to be dialed in in my opinion, to really help these DSOs grow and flourish.   speaker-1 (07:09) Mm-hmm. I'm with you on KPIs, right? Teaching office managers how to be able to kind of take charge of those, know what's going on in their practice, and that we're all watching those important numbers to be healthy for sure. That's an across the board thing. and then I'm with you on capitalize off the brand. from a lot of the DSOs we work with, where it's a few different locations, usually I feel like a lot of them are gonna be like five or less, where you can truly   make sure that we are maintaining our standard, maintaining our brand, and then capitalize off of that brand for all practices to where there might be a patient who's looking to go to the office, but maybe it's a little bit farther. great, they've got a location that's closer than to me. Awesome. Let me just go ahead and go to that closer location. And agreed. You've got to keep then the culture and the patient experience up to be number one. And what does that look like? What does it stand for? And there are   I will say different pieces that go into that when it comes to maintaining that culture in our practices and that experience. And I think those would be some non-negotiables like you start to build in if it's we're on time, right, with our appointments as much as possible. So that's something we really drive with our teams. We're always friendly with our patients, we're always welcoming. How do we present on the phone?   you can start to dig into some of those things that you really want to represent as a practice and make sure it's ingrained in our team members and how we present.   speaker-0 (08:41) Yeah. And I think like you said it's that culture in that brand. And honestly, I think people forget that that's actually why you became successful. Like that culture, that brand you started developing, that's how you're able to multiple scale across other practices. And I feel like offices that that see all the practices as one company and then the the different locations are just extensions of that company are the ones that really flourish. In that same thing, I feel like Britt, something you and I have really been   trying to hone in on with offices is to make sure that they have a key leadership team. So people that are really in sync to make decisions. and that's for your operations, for your labs, for your supplies, and and then making sure that things can actually execute forward. Because I feel like when we get a lot of partners involved, what happens is everybody has a strong opinion, but those opinions actually are great unless they stop all the the forward progress   And I think they really just have to be key decision players that everybody elects. It's almost like a board. I feel like all the practices are almost like a neighborhood and you need an HOA, like somebody who can actually just make the decisions and execute in the best interest. And maybe you've got a few of them. So you've got, say, your regional manager who's overseeing all of the practices, the overhead, the operations really. You've possibly got a clinical manager on there who's really looking at the hygiene, the dental assistants.   Then you've got probably a dentist on the board who's making decisions as far as what are the clinical diagnoses, what are the supplies that all dentists need across the board. And then you're probably gonna have somebody who's your finance person. So someone really looking at the financials of the practice. And if you can have one of those key players, I feel like just get that honed in. Then you can have all the practices have their own like little leadership teams and whatnot.   But really you've got those four players who can make very strong decisions. And maybe the dentist is the same person as the clinical lead. Maybe that we don't need an extra person there, maybe not. But I think if you can really get that dialed in, you're going to be able to make a lot stronger decisions and be able to move things forward more. Britt, what are you seeing? Like you were literally just in DSOs. Are you finding that that type of structure helps move things along? Or are you finding like, no, we need to have key leaders in other areas?   Wha what's kind of your take on how to make sure decisions can be made? Because I truly feel like once you get the the KPIs dialed in and everyone's reporting in, once you get your office managers looking at their practices, making sure they're profitable and reporting in, then you got your culture and your brand, it's really about getting decisions made quickly and moving things along rather than getting stagnated with so many opinions.   speaker-1 (11:20) Mm-hmm. And I am big on agreed. You've got to figure out who are your key players, what leadership team do you need in place. I am in big support of having someone who's a strong regional manager in place to help make a lot of those kind of smaller decisions for offices, the offices need support on and empowering office managers to make decision decisions within the balance that you give them.   I think the more you expose your office managers and teach them some of the business side to where they really know what those KPIs are, they really know what they're watching, they know how to influence it, you'll become more confident in their decision making as they see things at a kind of higher level, a bigger picture. but when they can have that information, know how to see it from a little bit higher level, start giving them   the the opportunity to make decisions within their practice. So one, they can kind of see the fun and feel empowered to where they really can run that team and own that office. and they don't feel like they're just kind of sitting waiting for people to tell them what to do. and then that they've got a really strong regional behind them who also has the ability to make decisions within the parameters that if it's partners or owner gives them.   to keep moving things forward and same thing. It's a super empowering thing to where they can get more creative and think of o opportunities for the practices than just feeling like they need to wait because they can't make a decision or do anything because someone's not gonna approve of it.   speaker-0 (12:47) And I really love that you talked about having that regional manager understand the business. I feel like in DSOs, you have to have somebody who understands the business and can think like a business owner. That way they can make decisions. Britt, what were some of the things that as you were basically their regional manager, you were in that DSO role? What were some of the things you felt helped? Because I I think I think sometimes business owners forget everything they've learned. So having somebody come through, it's almost like we've forgotten what business 101 is.   of what things we really need to teach them. What have you found that was maybe helpful for you, for your owners to teach you so you could be more successful in your role within that DSL?   speaker-1 (13:28) Sure. I think one of the first things is helping the office managers and regional managers understand what a PL is. Like, and it doesn't even have to be like the terms of this is a PL, but understanding, I like to relate it to it's just like at home if we have a budget, right? And what money do we have coming in, what things are we spending money in, and at the end, you know, what do we have left over? Just helping them understand not overall.   kind of equation of how the business runs and what are the different pieces within that that they can impact, which is ultimately how many patients we have, how much we treatment plan is truly our ultimate potential as an office. And then what we close, what we schedule, what we collect on, and then controlling our expenses, so then we can have a greater kind of profit left over at the end. So helping them understand that big picture and then helping them to understand within each of those little sections, which are   Then KPIs, what are the more like tangible things that we can track that impact that bigger equation to the business? And agreed, I think we don't realize how much we've learned along the way or people have taught us along the way, even myself kind of running through sometimes these KPIs when you haven't seen them before and you don't understand one, maybe where they come from, or two, why would we even track it? And three.   What could I even do to change that number? Like those are things you have to learn over time and someone's gotta gotta actually take the time to invest in teaching you.   speaker-0 (14:59) Which I I don't think people realize that PNL. When I first looked at a PL, I'm like, this looks like a straight up foreign language. Like I don't even know what ninety percent of this means. And so just imagine, if you will, if you've been running a business, you've been looking at PNLs, pretend you were just plunked into like for me, I do not speak Chinese. So being stuck in a class speaking Chinese and them handing me a report and saying, Kiera, you need to be able to read this and figure it out and tell me what I should do with my business.   I would literally look at that and want to cry. And then I'd probably take a picture with my phone and I'd start Googling and I'd hope and pray I could find some type of Google Translate to figure it out. That like I feel is a good way for you to really understand like what it feels like to be those team members when they first start looking at PL. So I think one of the best ways is just practice. and what I've done is like Britt said, is really just   Sit with your regional. Also, you can do this with your office managers, especially in DSOs, because the more your office managers understand the PL and what it should look like, that can help. So it's really just dial into that. tell them what a healthy payroll like payroll should be sitting at less than 30% of our total collections every month. Our lab should be at less than 9% of our total collections every month, supplies 5%, and just go down the list with them so they can see is this good or is this bad?   I love HDA accounting. I think they do a great job. Profy is another one. I'd Bailey is another one. those are just some some accounting companies. I like when they send the P and L because it's red and green. Like HDA is like you get a thumbs up or you get a thumbs down. Makes it a little bit easier. But then asking your regional or your managers to say, Hey, when you look at this P N L, what do you see that's going really, really well? And what do you see are some of the areas that might be trouble areas and why? Because I feel like when you can start to almost   quiz them and role play with them and have more of a collaboration with them, they start reading that PL and figuring it out rather than you always telling them. But like Britt said, you've got to take the time and invest with them. That way they can look at a PNL. I know Shelbi's been doing RPLs. She sends it to me every week and finally I said, Shelbs, what do you see on this? And that was the first time she'd really looked at it. Sha I just had an assignment for her to send them to me every week, which she does great. But then I started asking her to look at them and then we start diving into it and looking at different numbers.   And it's crazy how when you just spend a little bit of time, people can really start to find things that you as the owner might even be missing. And then they can take the accountability and the ownership of it. But just realize like it is a completely foreign language for these poor people. Let's not forget to train them and educate them so they can be set up for success.   speaker-1 (17:38) Mm-hmm, for sure. And I think also when it comes down to it, when you start looking at some of these numbers and you haven't looked at it before, so even office managers, when they look at it and they haven't seen it or regionals, they're gonna start to understand and like it it's fun in in a way to see their eyes kind of open to like, I understand why like I really want to be able to hire an additional team member, but here's where we are, so it makes sense now why now's not the time to hire.   And we need to work on some other things so we can afford to hire another team.   speaker-0 (18:10) Exactly. And then you're no longer as the business owner, the bad guy or the good guy. When your regional says, Hey, I want to hire, you say, Prime, can we afford this? What does the PNL say? And they then are the ones who are answering the question rather than you being like giving the green light or giving the thumbs down. And then they are more again a partner with you. Britt, as a regional, and I'll give my insights of how it felt for me, how does that make you feel when you can as a regional start making those business decisions and truly be like a trusted   side partner where you're like really, really informed in the business. How does that make you as the regional manager, you as the manager, the practice like, what do you feel like when you feel that competent reading PNLs and understanding the business?   speaker-1 (18:54) I loved it. I loved it for one of the biggest reasons is because I'm in a practice, especially as OM, like I'm in a practice every day and can see what I have and what I need and what's actually going on like as close to the ground as possible. So when it's something like this, we're like driving numbers in a certain direction, I'm like, all right, I can see multiple things kind of in the puzzle that I can start to manipulate or impact.   to be able to drive those numbers, drive the results, or if it's like, hey, we want to get new technology, what do we need to do to get there? Great, we want another ITero. Here's a plan of how we can afford to get that new piece of equipment.   speaker-0 (19:33) Exactly. And it it feels so good. Like for me, it just felt like the I like to win. And I felt like it was finally my my roadmap to being able to be successful and and hit the goals that my doctor had, but literally have like the optics, if you will, for success. And so I think it's super paramount of teaching your team members and empowering them. Like even as team members, I know Tiff, Britt, Shelbi, like our whole team. They'll look like, Kiera, can we actually afford that?   That is like one of the happiest days of all of my business time because I'm like, they're actually looking to see, can we afford that? Can we do this? Does this make sense for the business? And it's not me just carrying the weight anymore. So I feel like it's really important for for offices, especially DSOs. Like I would say if we were to recap this and Britt, it's fun that you just came in off of DSO. So I thought, like, hey, let's dive into DSO success of one.   Like set up your KPIs. Make sure you've got all practices reporting in and they understand and like truly spend the time to teach your office managers at each practice what those KPIs need to look like, how to get the information, and then have a set cadence where they're really reporting in with you. The next thing is like build up that leadership team within the DSO of the strong people that can actually make the decisions and they have the autonomy and the authority to execute. And then third, train the team members to really look at these PL so they understand.   Before all that we did talk about like having the standardization of culture, the name, making sure those things run the same. And I feel like within DSOs, you are way, way, way more needed to be structured and to over-communicate than you are in solo or even secondary practices. Like the type of communication, the amount of communication, the amount of I would say like rules with massive air quotes. Like people just need to know the guidelines of what we can or can't do, and they've gotta be black and white. That's kind of like my recap of everything we talked about, Britt.   Of like DSO success, but is there anything I may have missed or things you want to just highlight on your own that you feel really really makes or breaks a DSO from your perspective?   speaker-1 (21:35) I think those are all key pieces that ultimately build to like there's no one or three people at the top that depending on how big you get, right? They can be responsible for making all decisions. So a lot of it is making sure you've got that flywheel of culture going to where you don't have to put so much effort into controlling it. And then you've got key people and support so that the people kinda at the top or the the OGs, the originals who kind of started it.   that you build in support for yourself and you're not having having to make all of those decisions for everybody.   speaker-0 (22:10) Think that that's actually one of the like key pieces that I hadn't even realized is this allows more freedom of those visionaries to go and make decisions, but have a team that can also make decisions and think like that visionary more so. So, like, and to be honest, a lot of people get excited about going and buying the practices that they forget. You need to have that foundation, those guidelines, those ways for people to make decisions without the OGs being there to answer everything. And if you don't have that in play.   Get that in play, hire a coach. That's what we do. We literally help offices get these things set up, things they might not have thought about. Be that mediator who can really remind, show, guide people to get things done. But make sure you have that in play as you're building, but or I would truly suggest before you do it. However, I know all visionaries just go and they buy the practice and then figure it out. So like it's cool. We we know you, we see you, but really getting that ability for people to be it have autonomy.   And so that way the owners don't have to always be making every decision. I think one just empowers everyone and two, it's an easier flowing process for sure.   speaker-1 (23:16) Mm. Absolutely.   speaker-0 (23:17) So guys, there you go. There's Road Warrior Britt coming back in off of a DSO week. We love our DSO practices. But really, I just thought it'd be fun for us to highlight today of what are some of the the key sticks success for DSOs. And Britt, I know you came from a very successful DSO before joining Dental A Team. And so I feel like you just have such a knack for it. And offices who work with you, shoot. You got some of the most raving reviews from the offices you were with. Like I got personal text messages from those doctors thanking you for being there and how much   you're able to clarify. So Britt, kudos to you. it's fun to have you share on DSO secrets and success.   speaker-1 (23:53) Thanks. I do love my D SOs.   speaker-0 (23:56) They're just fun. Britt and I giggle were like, we loved our our new practices, but man, those DSOs, they're like puzzles for us to have to try and figure out, put together. Britt and I will collaborate on these all the time, and it's so fun for those DSOs.   Kiera Dent (24:12) I hope you all loved today's episode as much as I did. It is crazy to think that this many episodes have been released since we started the Dental A Team Podcast. And I started looking to say, my goodness, our listeners need to be reminded of some of the things they may have learned a year ago or two years ago or five years ago, because so many things in our practices weren't relevant back then when we heard them, but they are relevant today. And I would be doing you a huge disservice if I didn't re-release some of these episodes for you to remember, to refine.   to optimize and really truly if you ever need a topic or you're like, my gosh, I wonder if the Dental A Team has anything like this, go onto our website, TheDentalATeam.com, click on our podcast tab and you can literally search any topic. So whether it's overhead or hiring or firing or team morale or engagement or case acceptance or hygiene or associate onboarding or whatever it is, we have so many episodes for you. And so I am going to intentionally be   re-releasing some of the top best episodes for you, pulling back some of the ones that I needed to remember, some of the things that I feel for you to really, really relearn right now and to re-remember, or if it's the first time, welcome. I'm so happy you're listening to it, but I hope you truly enjoyed today's episode. I hope that you share this with somebody. I hope that you go and implement today because we only have one day. We only get today. And so making today the best that it possibly can be. If we can help you in any way, shape or form, reach out Hello@TheDentalATeam.com.   And as always, thanks for listening and we'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.
