Welcome to Pathology with Dr. Priya | A Zone 7 Series, a forensic deep-dive led by board-certified pathologist Dr. Priya Banerjee. Each Monday, Dr. Priya teams up with Emmy Award–winning CSI Sheryl “Mac” McCollum to explore the silent testimony of the dead and the science behind suspicious deaths. From the autopsy suite to the courtroom, they uncover the truth in tissues, expose investigative missteps, and give voice to those who can no longer speak for themselves. Whether you're a seasoned detective, true crime obsessive, or just curious about what the body can really reveal—this is your front-row seat to forensic pathology in action. In this debut episode, Dr. Priya reflects on her approach to autopsies, what the body can reveal that others can’t, and why collaboration between law enforcement and medical examiners is essential to justice. With more than 3,000 autopsies to her name—including the high-profile Breonna Taylor case and work with the NSA—Dr. Priya brings both precision and heart to this science. She and Sheryl McCollum break down the John O’Keefe case and walk listeners through what a well-executed forensic process should look like. You’ll also meet Slice—the puppy with a badge and a calming presence in even the most intense training rooms—and get a glimpse into Dr. Priya’s personal world, where compassion, curiosity, and hard-earned experience converge.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 403 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden GUEST: Dr. Kris Alpers DESCRIPTION In this conversation, Peter Boulden and Kris Alpers discuss the intricacies of building a dental office, covering essential topics such as financing, market analysis, site selection, design, and the construction process. They emphasize the importance of careful planning, effective communication with contractors, and making informed decisions about materials and design to ensure a successful dental practice. They explore the financial benefits of owning real estate, the value of strategic planning in design and technology, and cost-saving strategies during construction. The discussion highlights the long-term advantages of building ownership in the dental industry and offers practical insights for dentists considering this path. TAKEAWAYS Building a dental office requires careful planning and execution. Market analysis helps identify the best locations for dental practices. Site selection impacts the long-term success of a dental office. Design choices can significantly affect the functionality of the practice. Choosing the right builder is essential for a smooth construction process. Effective communication with contractors is key to avoiding delays. Material selection can impact the durability and aesthetics of the office. Investing time in design can prevent costly change orders later. Dentists should leverage their unique position to negotiate better deals.  Early collaboration with specialists is crucial for success. A well-planned construction process can be enjoyable. It's important to have a buffer period before opening. Understanding financing and construction draws is essential. Building ownership offers significant financial benefits. Technology planning is vital for modern dental practices.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 402 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden  and Dr. Craig Spodak GUEST: Erika Pusillo  DESCRIPTION In this episode, Pete, Craig, and Erika discuss the critical aspects of hiring associates in dental practices, focusing on economic expectations, communication, compensation, cultural fit, and the importance of aligning treatment philosophies.  They break down the need for clarity in communication, understanding the true value of compensation beyond percentages, and the significance of cultural fit in ensuring successful associate relationships.  TAKEAWAYS Communication is more of an art than a science. Clarity is kindness; unclear expectations lead to failed associateships. Compensation should be discussed in terms of take-home pay, not just percentages. Cultural fit is crucial for successful associate relationships. Associates should ask about practice growth and performance history. Hiring should focus on long-term goals, not just immediate needs. Continuous communication is essential to prevent misunderstandings. Hunger and integrity are unteachable qualities in associates. Practice owners should be transparent about financials and opportunities. Shadowing can help assess cultural fit before hiring. CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction to the Associate Hiring Challenge 01:45 Economic Expectations and Misalignment 10:07 The Importance of Communication in Hiring 15:06 Cultural Fit and Shadowing Days 23:06 Aligning Expectations and Treatment Philosophy 30:14 The Role of Integrity and Hunger in Associates 37:08 Conclusion and Key Takeaways 37:47 Navigating the Associate Hiring Process 40:48 Learning from Mistakes in Hiring 42:51 The Importance of Clarity in Roles 46:58 When to Hire an Associate 52:48 Understanding Financial Implications of Hiring 56:15 Setting Expectations and Communication 01:01:23 The Value of Partnership and Growth REFERENCES Bulletproof Summit Bulletproof Mastermind

Welcome to the Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, hosted by Drs. James Hawkins, Ph.D., LPC, and Ryan Rana, Ph.D., LMFT, LPC—Renowned ICEEFT Therapists, Supervisors, and Trainers. We're thrilled to have you with us. We believe this podcast, a valuable resource, will empower you to push the boundaries in your work, helping individuals and couples connect more deeply with themselves and each other. This podcast episode focuses on the critical concept of "timing" in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), specifically when and how therapists should "play it" during therapeutic sessions. Hosts Dr. James Hawkins and Dr. Ryan Reyna discuss the importance of recognizing and responding to vulnerable emotions and caregiving moments in couples therapy. Main Points: Key Ingredients of a Secure Bond Vulnerable, live emotion Accessible, responsive, and engaged (ARE) caregiving system Timing Considerations Earlier in therapy: Play moments quickly (less room for vulnerability) Later in therapy: More space to let emotions develop Clinical decision-making about when to intervene Critical Moments to "Play It" When vulnerable emotion emerges When a caregiving response is present Before the moment passes or the cycle interrupts vulnerability Risks of Not Playing the Moment Clients may exit the vulnerable space Emotional opportunities can be lost Cycle of interaction can revert to negative patterns Practical Advice Catch and recognize emotional moments Make clinical decisions about intervention Prioritize creating space for emotional connection The episode includes a role-play demonstration illustrating these principles, emphasizing the importance of therapist attunement and timely intervention.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 395 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak GUEST: Paul Vigario, Founder and CEO of SurfCT DESCRIPTION Craig, Peter, and Paul Vigario explore the dental industry's complexities, discussing competition among doctors, sales perceptions, and entrepreneurial challenges. They emphasize personal growth, brand development, and redefining success in dentistry. The conversation highlights the importance of embracing risk, living authentically, and seeking mentorship while breaking free from industry constraints and societal expectations. The speakers encourage dentists to pursue their passions, make aligned choices, and leverage community support to navigate career challenges and achieve meaningful success. TAKEAWAYS The dental industry fosters a competitive environment among doctors, hindering collaboration. Sales skills are essential, despite the common belief that dentists should only educate. Many dentists view themselves as commodities due to a lack of branding and marketing. Entrepreneurship in dentistry is not for everyone, but everyone deserves a chance to try. Falling in love with the journey is vital for personal and professional growth. Instant gratification is a societal issue that affects the entrepreneurial mindset. Failure is a part of the journey, and learning from it is essential. Dentists often feel pressured to conform to societal expectations rather than pursue their true aspirations. Engaging in practical experiences is necessary for growth, rather than just theoretical learning. The older you get, the more risk-averse you become. Mentorship can be a catalyst for personal and professional growth. Dentists should not limit their identity to their profession. You can choose your path and make decisions that align with your happiness. The industry often positions dentists as operators, limiting their potential. Happiness should be the ultimate goal in your career.
