Kiera shows listeners multiple places in life where there's likely opportunity for more balance, freedom, play, and ease by: Maximizing the hours you already work. Protecting your time like a CEO. Empowering your team to own their roles. 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 I am so excited because I love this topic and I hate this topic and it's such a great one and all of you are gonna be so excited about it and it's work-life balance without sacrificing production. Yep, you better believe that it is true and I'm here to show you today how you can do this.   but I really hate this terminology of work-life balance. So if you're new to the Dental A Team, welcome, hello. I'm so excited to have you here. If you've been here with us for a long time, high five, hugs. I'm so grateful you've been a part of this journey and I'm so excited to share with you tips, tricks. ⁓ And again, remember, sometimes the greatest form of learning is remembering what you already know. So these might be tips that you've heard before, but hopefully today it hits you differently because no man who's walked through a river is ever the same man because he...   is not the same man and the river is not the same river. So you today, you're not the same person, you're not the same practice, you're not the same scenario. So wherever you are, I'm super excited for you to figure out how to get this like balance and bliss in your life. And I hope you're ready for it. So the reality is like, I used to feel, and I don't know where this came from, like, why do we feel that we always have to like grind like our nose to the brim? Like we have to work so hard and we have to just grind so hard to get to success.   that like you just hate your life. Like why is it, why is it this like busyness and this exhaustiveness and this tired to be successful? Like why, where? And so I do believe that you can have balance and performance that can coexist, that you can be productive and balanced. And so the reality is we're going to walk through some of these pieces for you to help you see where could I maybe strike a little more balance, a little more freedom, a little more play, a little more ease in my life.   And that's maybe the better term of like work-life balance is more ease. It's more flow. It's more, I think just intentional. And how can I do that? So you guys, I love this. think that you should be something that I'm really passionate about is work and life. I'm very passionate about you being the best version of yourself in your life. That way you can show up as the best version of yourself for work. do not believe, Tiff and I talk about this all the time. Like outside of Dental A Team public's eye.   all the time about how work and life are not separate. It's like we think about these two halves and it's like, no, it's one. You're one person. You're going through this and it's like, well, here's half of me that's work. Here's half of me that's life. And it's like, no, no, no, no, no. How can I, Kiera, be the best version of myself that like feels balanced or ease or flow or calm or any of those things? Cause balance to me, don't love. Balance feels like I've got to like have my weight in front of me be equal.   ⁓ But flow to me is like a river flows and sometimes it's faster and sometimes it's slower and all of that's correct. And so this is something where for you to be the best version of yourself, for you to still be productive at the office while being the best version of you, ⁓ I think is what today's podcast will be about. So this is something where it's like, if you feel you are stretched thin or overwhelmed or you don't know how to produce without overworking and if you stop or slow down and get off the hamster, well, you're afraid that it's all gonna crash and burn. Well, hi, I'm Kiera.   I'm your personal therapist today ⁓ and I'm here to help you realize that that's not the reality, that there's a better, easier way to do it. And I'm here to give you a couple of quick steps that hopefully will take you through that ⁓ because I was there, I've seen offices do it and we've helped offices, hundreds, like literally hundreds and thousands of offices get out of that hamster will.   and into the flow that they were looking for. Tiff said it once and she was like, imagine Phoenix traffic. If you've never been to Phoenix, we'll do Chicago traffic, we'll do Texas traffic. Like you name it, big city traffic. She's like, just imagine if you're sitting there and this is like your life and you're sitting there and you're in this bumper to bumper traffic. And then all of a sudden you see that like better than even like an HOV or carpool lane. Like there's just like the way it strikes me like a lucky charm. Like it's like, ah, like the angels are singing. It's this gold path over there or like the yellow brick road. And you're like,   say, well, like I could get out of this nonsense over onto that lane. And like everybody, there's no traffic. There's no slowing down. It is just this easy breezy, like truly like, hope you guys can visualize this like golden path road with gold light over it. And everybody on that road is just so happy. And yet you're sitting here hating your life because you're sitting in all this nonsense traffic. Well, that's kind of hopefully how this feels of like, let's teach you how to get over into that.   that lane that you didn't even know existed today and give you some tangible tips to that. So number one is going to be maximize the hours that you already work. So let's have it like, ⁓ we did this awesome thing ⁓ at a conference and ⁓ we're talking about this and this is so fascinating to me, okay? So in a given week, there's 24 hours in a day. Yes, everybody following? And there's seven hours or seven days in a week, okay?   So if we take that, I love some good numbers, I love some good math. So 24 hours in a day, and we have seven days in a week, that's 168 hours, all right, in a given week, okay? So now, let's say I'm gonna be really generous to you. We know, let's say, let's just, mean, Dennis, let's give you, like, we're gonna work 40 hours in a week. You might say I work more than that, that's okay. I'm just gonna subtract 40 right now, okay? So that leaves us with 128 hours in a week.   Now you're like, well, Kiera, we also have to sleep. I got you. I'm going to be real generous and I'm going to give you eight hours of sleep times seven days. That's 56 hours. None of you are out there probably sleeping eight hours. As you should be prioritizing this, I do not want to be scrimping on sleep because I think sleep is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. So we have 128 hours after the 40 hour work week. We've got 56 hours of sleep minus 128. That leaves us with 72 freaking hours a week. And my question is, what are you doing with those hours?   Now you might say, Carrie works 60 hours. Fantastic, you still have 52 hours if you're working a 60 hour work week, which I hope and pray you're not working 60 hours. So let's get it to where maybe I don't wanna be working even 40 hours and I would prefer to even work 30 hours. Well then if I gave you 30 hours, you're up to 82 hours a week of extra time. And people are like, Carrie, I don't have time, I don't have time. 72 hours, 72 in a week outside of sleeping and work.   Now you're like, well, I've got to make dinner and I've got the kids fine go for it, but there's still so many hours. And I, when I heard this, I was like, yeah, what am I doing with those 72 hours? Like, all right. So maybe I could do like an hour of workout every day. All right. So like, let me just put out like seven hours there. Like, okay, 72. Let's just take this down 72 minus seven hours. All right. I'm down to 65 hours. Well, you know, I've got to like, hang out with my kids. Like we're at soccer, we're at camp. Like that takes, okay. Count it up. How many hours? Like drive time and all of that.   Let's give you like, okay, shoot, you're at 15 hours a week, which honestly, I guarantee you're not putting 15 hours of soccer and camp and all that in a given week. Maybe you are, but honestly, that's a lot. That's like two full days of work plus some extra time. So if we're at that, you're still at 50 hours and we're not scrimping sleep. We're not scrimping work. We're not scrimping kid time. We gave you an hour of workout every single day.   something to think about. So in this step one, to be able to have this balance or flow or best version of you is to maximize the hours you already have. So ⁓ me and Chad GPT, I named her Wanda. I hang out with Wanda all the time and I'm like, all right, you're the most brilliant scheduler of all time. You're the most productive business coach. Like you teach me how to maximize my time. And Wanda gives me some really good things. And it was interesting because I started looking like I realized   that I was spending an extra 30 minutes going to the gym every single day with how far away it was. And I was like, all right, well then that actually adds up. What if I just bought a home gym? Like there are solutions. What if I got weights, free weights? have my personal trainer. She could create some. So I go to the gym X amount of days and I work from home X amount of days. Could that help out? Like that would give me some time back in there. And so it's really like, how can you maximize the hours that you already have in your life to then maybe have a bit more fun?   Like I don't want all scheduled. I want fun. I want to hang out with Jason. I want to be able to like you guys I used to not watch TV at all because I felt like it was an absolute waste of time because I wasn't making money and I wasn't doing something productive. Literally I was like, nope, this is an absolute waste of time. And I'm like, but I like to watch a show and laugh with my husband. I like to be able to go hot tibbing at night with my husband. I love to go for walks with my husband. I love to go hiking. I love to spend time with my parents and I want to do it.   without guilt. It's like being able to like eat all the ice cream that you could ever want to eat without gaining any weight or whatever your favorite thing is that you're like, I just wish I could eat all that, not worry about the calories. Well, this is how you can have un like guilt free time for yourself, guilt free time with family, guilt free time with friends, because we have like, you break it down. I guarantee you, we're still going to find hours for you. So how can we better use it? And then what's awesome is when I work with offices, I'm like, sweet.   You only working four days a week? Fantastic, let's go for it. Let me do 32 hours a week. Beautiful. And you know what's crazy is I usually can help them produce the same as they were producing in five days and four days and then they're able to get a whole day back in their world. Or they're like, I have nowhere I could ever put admin time in. And I'm like, sweet, challenge accepted. How much time do you want? Two hours a week, three hours a week? Great, I'm gonna block it on Wednesdays from eight to 12.   I'm taking four hours out and I'm gonna show you how we can build a schedule that will produce more than you're making right now and give you the four hours of admin time so you don't have to take this home with you. So we block schedule, we prioritize, we put things in place. You literally like, we eliminate gaps, we're proactive, we ⁓ maximize our time and our schedule, we have our morning huddles to align our teams, everybody chart preps, we look through what we need to have. We're all doing the pieces and we're maximizing our time that we already have. Front office team members, seriously like.   Don't insurance verify every single person like in order call Delta Dental and get all of them done and then all your MetLife's and all your Etna's so we're not spending time like wastefully and you can maximize this and I will tell you when doctors shift like this and teams shift like this, we're talking 10, 20, 30, 40, a hundred grand extra a month that we're able to squeeze in the juice with no extra time. Usually even less time. I don't want more hours. I don't want more work for teams. I want less work and more efficiency.   So that way you have guilt free time with family. You have guilt free time on vacations. You have fun being able to take off and not stress about it. So this is where it's like, let's maximize the hour. So the call to action on this is, I want you to audit your current schedule at work and figure out where are we losing production and time and how can we just like, literally I'm talking on one change. Kind of like with FedEx or with, I don't remember what airline it was, but FedEx drivers found out if they took right hand turns at stoplights in the US, they can actually cut down the hours and cut down the routes and actually get more time and.   more efficient packages delivered to all the people. That's the type of like small little shift that we're looking for. Just one little change and then look at it in your personal life. Are we scrolling in doomsday scrolling? Are we spending time? I don't know, audit your day, but it's wild when I'm like, I gave you so much time and there's still 50 hours in a day, like a week. What are you doing there? Like, Kiera, I go to church. Great, put it in there. Kiera, I do community service. Great, put it in there.   I'm not kidding. When you look at it, it's because we're not efficient with our time and we don't schedule our time. And I want you to have breaks in there where there's nothing time in there too. But what's wild is when you do this, you'll realize there's so much more time. And if you're effective and efficient with this, you'll see that you actually can get more done with less time, less energy, and be more happy and have that flow, that work-life balance just by maximizing the hours you already have. Next up, number two is protect your time like a CEO. I want you to be so rock solid on this because we have to have like CEO time.   So this is what I was talking about. You've got to protect your admin working CEO time like a boss. And you've got to actually do high productive work there. So for me, it's called Deep Work Time. It's by Cal Newport. You can read the book. I'm like absolutely non-negotiable. This is when I'm working on the business. And it's wild because I'm always like, there's so many screaming problems that come at you, but you have to say no. Discipline equals freedom here. You've got to stick to your cutoff time. I'm out the door at 5.30. Go, leave, be done.   We don't need to constantly run over because what we do is we teach ourselves that what we say of our boundaries or what we say of our commitments don't matter. Stop lying to yourself and start protecting your time. Start putting you first. Like if you say, I'm gonna be out at 530, be out at 530. If you say, I'm gonna go to dinner, go to dinner. If you say, I'm gonna work out, work out, but don't go lofty, go small. Start small, train yourself that you can trust yourself and then get bigger and better and better. And what's wild is when offices do this, when doctors like,   Truly, my most elite doctors do this. The ones that produce the most have the best family time. And I'm talking like, there's a doctor that I know. He told me, said, Kiera, we've done a lot. They own six practices. He's got like crazy amounts of success. They're going for it. ⁓ Tons of kids, amazing relationship with his spouse. And he said, Kiera, my year working with you was the most transformational, inspirational year of my entire life. And I take that as one of the biggest compliments because this person was so efficient and effective.   And yet we were able to find ways to fix their time, maximize their time, buy back their time, protect their time, make sure all the things that they want to do as a human and as a business owner, they were able to get there. This doctor is celebrating their first day out of the chair and being a true CEO. It didn't happen overnight, but these are things of like, you have better clarity, you're better as a business owner, you're better as a spouse, you're better as a mother, father, you have more time to work out for yourself, but it's like...   being very disciplined, this is the secret. People are like, Kiera, what's the secret? This is it. They protect their time and they act like the CEO that they are. And then number three is your team, empower them, help them to be like truly owning their role. So you've got to set up and have it to where there's clear roles and definitions of what each person does. They have their KPI and their number that they own and you train them to lead and come with solutions. I have a three solution rule. If you've got a problem, you've got to create at least three solutions for it, one of which can't cost money.   So that way they're coming with solutions, they're thinking of solutions. They're empowered so things don't come to me. ⁓ There's the book with the one minute manager, I think. ⁓ It's about the monkeys on your back. I think about this all the time. How many times do my team members come to me and put their monkey and their problem on my back? And I'm like, yeah, give it to me. I've got it. I'll just solve the problems because I'm Wonder Woman over here. But you told me you actually want to stress free. You want more work life balance, but you don't want to cut your production. We'll start empowering your team to actually be the team that they're meant to be. And team members rise up.   Rise up, solve the problems. This is for you. Like we have a culture of ownership. Ownership is one of our core values. And honestly, I shout that core value out so hard every single week on our core value shout outs because I want our team to know that that's one of the top things that I look for. Our team members that own their role, own their KPI, find the solutions. Because guess what? Then I'm able to do my job and my job as a CEO. Your job as a CEO. And I also want to be an amazing wife. I want to be an amazing sister. I want to be an amazing family member.   I wanna do all those things. I wanna show the best for myself. I wanna work out. I wanna be this amazingly fit, ripped, super energetic, 95 year old woman in my life with cotton candy, pink hair. Like that's the vision of Kiera in the future. What's your vision of the future and how do you do this? And what's wild about this is when you empower your team members, you give them clarity of what they need to do, team members now can focus on what they need to do and they can be more efficient in their time. Tiff and I talk all the time about how she's the efficiency queen and how like,   I hope she never dies before me. And if she does, it will say efficiency queen on her headstone because literally we're able to do so much more with less time because we have the team using it. So doctors before you even, and office managers before you even think about putting something in your calendar, ask yourself, am I really the best person who needs to do this task? Or can someone else do it just as good, if not better than I can and delegate it out.   I look at my calendar all the time and I'm like, that could go to Tiff, this could go to Britt, this could go to Shelbi, this could go to this person. Like all these people are better, more equipped and have the time to do it. And then they should do the same thing with their schedules as well. So when you have this, I want you all, every single team member to look at our schedules and see, is this something that a team member could own? Is this really who should be doing it? Are our lines clean? Do we have clear job descriptions, clear KPIs? This way it's not all happening for me. So when you look at this, you see the flow of number one, I'm using the time I already have.   Number two, I'm thinking like a CEO and I'm actually maximizing the hours working on the business. And then number three, I have a team that's fully capable. They're not dependent on me. You have, we broke down the math. guys, the math is there. What are you doing with your time? This is how you have guilt free fun. Like I want you to just think like eating like a big giant scoop of your favorite dessert or whatever your favorite thing is. You're, you're, you're indulgent. And I want you to think of that as your time. Like I'm just taking this big old scoop of like   delicious ice cream, no calories, guilt free of your lifetime, of the time that you get to have your life. Your life is all mixed up of so many pieces. You've got work, you've got family, you've got schedules, you've got appointments. This is how you have guilt free time. This is how you're able to have that flow. This is how you're able to have the balance or whatever it is for you. It's not passive, it's built. It's not passive, it's built. And you would honestly do this while growing your business.   while like all the different things that you're doing, you can have this. And this is something I'm obsessed about. We did this at our last mastermind and it was so fun for me to like show them like, what are we doing with our time and how can we better maximize, squeeze the juice out and have more guilt free fun time of whatever we want to do. This is how you have hobbies. This is how you expand as a human. This is how you read books for fun. This is how you get gardening or biking or surfing or whatever it is that you want. This is how you get more time with your family, more time for yourself is by actually doing these three things. So   You honestly became a practice owner for freedom. It's my hunch. You wanted to run the business how you wanted. You want to have things with the team. And so let's make sure that you're not fatigued out, that you're burnt out, but you actually get that freedom that you wanted when you built the practice. Like let's get you there. That's the ultimate goal. Let's help you see where you could like maximize your time. Let's help your team maximize their time because sometimes we don't even know what we could be doing better because we're just, this is all we know. So let's be smarter. Let's reach up.   Let's ask for the help and let's get the freedom and the fun and the joy that we know we're meant to have. So this is where we're at. This is where I want you to just realize like, where am I at? You're at a crossroad. Do you want to continue down the path you're going or do you want to get into that fast lane over there that you're sitting in bumper to bumper traffic and you're like, there actually is that magical, glorious, gold paid route. Like honestly, I hope our marketing team like, please marketing team make this Vividial.   Put it on social media. There is like literally I see like all the lines like we got like ten lines of traffic We're sitting there and then it's like ⁓ like the angels are singing over there Like are you gonna continue to sit in this bumper to bumper bag? Yep I'm gonna just keep doing it my way or are you going to venture over? Navigate through the traffic across ten lanes of traffic to get over to that magical Lane that can be yours the questions yours the forks in the road literally we're in a road like that was a great analogy unintended   The forks in the road, like you are here, you're at a pivotal spot, the door is open, you can choose to do it differently. Let's do it. You deserve it. Reach out, hello, at the W-H-U dot com or stay in bumper to bumper traffic. Both are fine. There's no judgment on either side. I just want to let you know that that magical lane is incredible. Life over there is happy. Life over there is not stressed. Life over there still does with issues, but life over there deals with issues in stride.   Life over there has a team that's able to run the practice whether you're there or not. Life over there empowers their leaders. Life over there allows you to have a life on your terms. Life over there allows you to show up for your family the way you want. Life over there allows you to work out the way you want. Life over there has you sleeping better. Life over there has you not stress out every single day of every single hour. Life over there truly is flying through traffic because there's another lane over there. And I hope you choose you and I hope you choose the easier path.   and reach out Hello@TheDentalATeam.com if we can help you, because I'd love to.

Hová kerül a temetőben kiásott föld, kik a top ellenzéki megmondóemberek, miért vesznek az emberek SUV-ot, elmennénk-e Jólvanezígy-Ádámhoz vendégnek, kimegy-e a kétkezi munka a divatból ebben a században, hogyan lesz Érd-alsó és Érd-felső, mi lenne Magyarország királyaként az első három intézkedésünk, virslifőzés bőrével vagy anélkül, szaunában miért oké a meztelenség, jó-e Veiszer Alinda üzleti modellje, szeretnénk-e azt a tükröt, ami a belső tulajdonságainkat mutatja, szabad-e a fázisceruzával csavarozni, elfoglalja-e a helyet a rászoruló elől egy kedvtelésből dolgozó ember, nem pazarlás-e a magas óradíjú embereknek fogat mosni, milyen evolúciós előnyt jelent a kiwi számára, hogy a csőre hegyén van az orrlyuka, van-e magyarországon "old money"?

What if that nagging voice of imposter syndrome isn't really yours, but a belief you picked up in childhood and never questioned? In this episode of the Productivity Smarts podcast, host Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Armida Espinoza, educator, speaker, and author of Brave Lolis's Box of Hope, to explore how early self-doubt evolves into imposter syndrome and how neuroplasticity can help us rewrite that story. Armida opens up about her journey from a shy first grader struggling to learn English to becoming a published children's author who now helps others find their voice. She shares how one classroom moment led to years of limiting beliefs and how awareness, gratitude, and daily mindset shifts helped her reclaim her confidence and purpose. Together, Gerald and Armida unpack practical ways to reprogram negative thinking, build resilience, and teach both children and adults how to challenge their inner critic. It's an inspiring reminder that it's never too late to rewire your brain, rewrite your story, and step fully into your potential. What We Discuss [00:00] Introduction to Armida Espinoza [06:49] Imposter syndrome and limiting beliefs [13:36] College, mentorship, and becoming a teacher [16:35] Productivity habits and writing process [17:15] Neuroplasticity and mindset shifts [22:21] Resilience and teaching children [24:47] Practical strategies for positive self-talk [26:09] Daily habits for neuroplasticity [27:50] Awareness tools: bracelet and cancel technique [30:13] 30-day plan to shift mindset [32:56] Book availability and achievements [34:38] Closing remarks and podcast outro Notable Quotes [15:45] "Mentoring and coaching is like being on the HOV lane. You never see somebody on the high occupancy lane by themselves. They're always with someone else." — Gerald J. Leonard [23:06] "Children are not born with resilient strategies. We have to teach them those strategies." — Armida Espinoza [29:20] "When you have a negative thought, just stop and say, cancel, cancel. And your brain goes, okay. And it raises it." — Gerald J. Leonard [33:44] "As a self-published person, first publishing book, I've managed to sell over 9000 books in two years." — Armida Espinoza Resources Armida Espinoza Website - https://www.armidaespinoza.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ArmidaEspinozaAuthor/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/armiespinoza/ Book: Brave Lolis's Box of Hope/LA VALIENTE LOLIS Y SU CAJA DE ESPERANZA Productivity Smarts Podcast Website - productivitysmartspodcast.com Gerald J.

California drivers can peel clean air stickers off their bumpers, since they no longer grant you coveted membership to the carpool lane. The state's HOV access program has expired, meaning solo electric and hybrid cars have to merge right. For more, KCBS Radio anchor Margie Shafer spoke with KCBS insider Phil Matier.

Gary and Shannon lead off with breaking news after Councilman Curren Price was rushed from an event for a health emergency, though reports suggest he seemed to be joking and in good spirits with Mayor Bass by his side. The pair then turn to the haunting case of Celeste Rivas Hernandez and its eerie ties to singer D4vd. From there, it's a whirlwind of stories: the bizarre crackdown on “illegal” breast implants in North Korea, the end of HOV lane privileges for solo EV drivers, and fresh listener reactions to Secretary Hegseth's military meeting. Later, they break down LA County's $20 million settlement in the tragic murder of 4-year-old Noah Cuatro, with Shannon sharply criticizing DCFS for repeated failures. The hour closes on a lighter note with animal time, discussing “Chunk” being crowned the Fat Bear Contest champion, and updates on SoFi's missing hawks, and more.

Federal prosecutors say 45-year old Jennifer Powers harbored a dark and sordid secret from her past. On Monday afternoon, Powers made her first court appearance — in a Fort Worth federal courtroom on charges that she helped sex traffic women for her millionaire boss, a New York City financier who tortured them in a “sex dungeon” in his Midtown Manhattan penthouse apartment. In other news, a nonprofit that backed a Dallas charter amendment meant to boost police hiring, benefits and starting pay has vowed to “hold city leaders accountable” after the City Council approved a budget that raises starting police pay by nearly 8%, but leaves Dallas ranked 12th in the region;  “What is going on with the U.S. 75 construction where the HOV ends in North Richardson? Curious Texas has the answer and some good news; and after three seasons, the Texas Rangers decided to part ways with manager Bruce Bochy. Despite winning the World Series in his first season with the club, the hangover  left the organization with blurred vision about how to move forward. He was offered an advisory role within the organization, but it's uncertain if he will pursue another managerial opening elsewhere. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Untitled Podcast is back with Episode 173, and Boobie & Modd are coming out the gate with heat. The fellas kick things off breaking down Cardi B's bold flip of Hov's classic Imaginary Players, sparking a real convo on their favorite remakes and what it takes to touch a legend's record. From there, they dive into the viral Sha'Carri Richardson clip that's been setting timelines on fire, which opens the door to a raw discussion on domestic violence and accountability in the culture.The energy doesn't stop—Boobie & Modd weigh in on Chris Brown's Breezy Bowl Tour and the spectacle surrounding one of R&B's most polarizing stars.

In our journey of faith, we're reminded that Christianity isn't meant to be a solitary experience. The passage from Titus 3:12-15 teaches us the profound importance of community and partnership in ministry. We're called to be encouragers, supporters, and fellow workers in Christ. Just as Paul sent Artemis and Tychicus to support Titus, we too are meant to uplift and refresh one another. This message challenges us to examine our lives: Who are our ministry partners? Who refreshes our spirit? Are we living in isolation or embracing the body of Christ? The HOV lane analogy beautifully illustrates how we move faster through life's obstacles when we journey together with Christ at the wheel. Let's reflect on how we can foster deeper connections within our faith community and support those in ministry, remembering that we're all part of God's family.

Bruce and Gaydos talk about the ways people are trying to avoid fines during HOV lane restricted hours.

Dizzy is back solo on The Notion with an unapologetic breakdown of the week's wildest headlines and viral controversies:

HOV lanes are back in the headlines, thanks to the efforts of Lt. Governor Stavros Anthony. Are they actually "useless," as he claims? And how did HOV lanes enter the culture wars? Co-hosts Sarah Lohman and Dayvid Figler discuss this with Nevada Current reporter Michael MJ Lyle. They also tackle the imminent loss of pandemic-era housing vouchers, and why everyone on the internet was convinced that you can now gamble on UNO (spoiler: not exactly).

This week on Sarcastic Bastardz, we ask the real questions: Should Drake still be allowed to take lyrical shots, or is he just yelling into the void now? We unpack the weird obsession with judging people based on someone else's perception—because, God forbid, we think for ourselves. Then we dive into the never-ending Hov alleged son saga (spoiler: still not confirmed), and wrap it up with a look at street dudes who are unable to pick their own kids up from school. You already know—it's raw, unfiltered, and definitely not for the fragile.

This week on the Need to Know Podcast, Savon steps into his “Councilman Von” era (00:30) — breaking down how he's mentoring college interns at Need to Know Studios while chasing side quests like a real-life GTA mission game (02:15). At (14:15), they dive into Drake's “What Did I Miss?” — from the icy backroom stream to the Chuck Liddell “Iceman” comeback theory (20:00). They unpack the LeBron, The Weeknd, and Kendrick subs (25:30) and debate if Drake's “Scorned GOAT” energy is playing itself out. Next, it's Pusha T vs. Travis Scott — from Pusha's slick shots to Travis's weak clapback, and why not every rapper should die on the lyrical hill just because fans want it (56:30). Then (1:00:50), they unpack Jay-Z's quiet power plays — why Hov always sees everything, how he drops billion-dollar subliminals when it counts, and Nicki Minaj's public call-out of Roc Nation (1:04:30). By (1:10:00), they pivot to the real lesson in Nicki vs. Jay-Z: comparing her rant to Scooter Braun's big machine tactics and why Cassie's low-key Diddy lawsuit shows how smart money moves are made (1:12:30). Finally (1:15:00), they share a hilarious story about Jamie Foxx's surprise “grown son” moment, the secret kid paranoia, and the reality of avoiding messy headlines — with one last message about betting on yourself, side missions and all.

On today’s episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast, four major stories dominate the conversation. First, a music producer has dropped the civil lawsuit against Chris Brown over a London nightclub altercation; the $16 million claim was dismissed with prejudice, though criminal charges still stand. In the rap world, Nicki Minaj is throwing major heat at Jay‑Z and Roc Nation on X, accusing Hov of shortchanging her $100–$200 million from the TIDAL deal and calling out management for shady practices. Finally, legal news updates: Diddy’s sentencing date is locked in for October 3, 2025, after his partial conviction, and both prosecution and defense agreed to proceed then. This lineup blends celebrity drama, courtroom developments, and high-profile cultural confrontations—perfect for a loaded episode.

Send us a textThe Mixed Vibez Podcast welcomes back B-Fines, host of the Big and Lazy podcast, for an episode packed with hip-hop debates and entertainment news.At the heart of this episode is a fascinating debate about Jay-Z potentially headlining the next Super Bowl Halftime Show. We weigh whether Hov's catalog and performance style would translate to the massive mainstream audience, considering his age, recent musical output, and relationship dynamics with potential guest performers. We compare previous halftime shows and speculate which songs might make the cut, questioning if Jay's explicit content would work in the family-friendly environment of the Super Bowl.Lil Wayne's latest release The Carter VI has dropped.  We discuss how the project feels more like a collection of mixtape tracks than a cohesive album, while acknowledging Wayne still demonstrates his legendary rap skills. We compare this release to Wayne's earlier Carter installments sets an unfair standard, with Carter II and III representing the pinnacle of Wayne's artistry for different reasons.The conversation shifts to Jim Jones claiming to be a bigger artist than Nas, which prompts a spirited ranking of Dipset members' careers and cultural impact. This nostalgia-filled discussion highlights iconic songs like "Ballin'" that transcended hip-hop to become part of everyday vernacular, showcasing how these hosts can analyze music both as fans and cultural critics.FOLLOW.

Kiera and Dana perform a practice autopsy mashup. In this episode, they specifically take a look at multi-location practices, and how to make all of them profitable instead of just one or two. Topics discussed include overhead, associates, marketing, and more. 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 is such a special day. I have the one and only Dynamite Dana. I think that that's what we're sticking with. I think it's better than the other nickname that we came up with. But Dana, if you guys know her, you love her. She's been in a consultant with us for years. Dana, welcome to the show today. How are you?   Dana (00:17) Yeah, good morning. Thanks for having me. I'm excited. I don't get much like podcast time with you. It's usually with him. So it's a fun morning for me.   Kiera Dent (00:26) I   know Dana's a rock star. ⁓ I, yes, I can sell a little podcast and yes, that's fun to do, but it's more fun to have someone on here. So I sent Dana a message and I had it like in the afternoon. And then I was like, Ooh, my schedule changed and moved it to like first thing in the morning. So Dana, thanks for being easy to accommodate. but I think that that's you. You're just always there, always willing to help and offices love you for that. So   Dana (00:43) Yeah.   Kiera Dent (00:51) We have a fun topic, you guys. I love a good office autopsy. So Dana and are gonna kind of mash a couple practices together and dig into some practice profitability trends that we're seeing on an office autopsy. You ready for that today, Dana? Because I love these. Anything more than a good profitability story and how to get there, that's what it's about. And I think that that's what so many practices struggle with. They don't understand how to get profitable. They know that it's there. They know that it can be an illusion.   Dana (01:03) Yeah, this is exciting.   Kiera Dent (01:18) They know that it can be a reality for some. so Dana, I feel like some of the practices we've been dealing with lately, it's like actually making it turn into a reality rather than just as hope and a wish. So take it away. I know you've been working on this. I've been working on this. Let's have some fun today.   Dana (01:31) Yeah, it's been really fun the past couple weeks. I've been like able to just do a lot of numbers crunching a lot of future projections a lot of like hey what effort is it gonna take to like get things where we want them to be and it's really fun to give owners like the possibilities of What they currently have or where they want to be and so it's just been really really interesting the last couple weeks getting to do that and getting   Kiera Dent (01:43) you   Dana (02:02) offices to see like where they want to put their energy where they may need to put their energy and so it's just been numbers aren't you know I'm learning to love numbers more and more ⁓   Kiera Dent (02:14) Yes, did you hear that? Dana, did   you start out that way? Let's just let's just help listeners feel like is this a normal thing?   Dana (02:22) No, I mean, I am a systems girl through and through. And so, you know, I know how important the numbers are. And of course, like those are pieces I look at. But really, really being able to manipulate the numbers, to be able to project things, that is something that I've really had to dig into more and more. And it's been fun for sure.   Kiera Dent (02:45) Yeah, and I love the reason I highlight that is because for myself for Dana numbers were not something natural for some people it is just wired into you but I think for 90 % of human beings out there they would feel very similar to how you and I feel and so I just want to highlight that it's totally normal not to understand numbers but it is also normal to figure out how to use numbers and when you do it actually feels like like life becomes so much easier it's like   my gosh, there was an HOV lane this whole time. And I had no clue that there was like a fast pass, fast lane over there that if I would just learn my numbers and dig into it, I would honestly be able to do things a lot better. And so I think like, that's what makes me so excited Dana is this is where we also help practices. Like let's use the numbers to manipulate and actually do less work, more profitability and more ease. So kudos to you for digging in kudos for you, like admitting that systems are your gem, which I think it's easy, right? But to me, I'm like,   systems are only as valuable and only as important as the numbers are reflecting. Like, yes, we should put them in, but I'm like, if we're just putting systems in place, but we're not moving the dial, what does it matter? ⁓ You're going to be struggling. You're going to have financial stress. You're going to be like not happy. Use the numbers to figure out which system's broken and then go to work there. It becomes so much easier and less effort for sure.   Dana (04:02) Yeah, yeah, it's pretty magical to see. So yeah.   Kiera Dent (04:05) Right. All right.   So we have a couple of practices. We've got some that are multi locations. We've got some that are solo locations. And I think we should dig into some of these multi locations because multi locations I feel are like interesting families. And what I usually notice in multi locations, ⁓ oftentimes, depending upon the practice, these offices actually like one or two or three are super profitable. And then the other two are like sucking the practices dry.   And it's so interesting because we think like, let's get so many, which if your plan is like a DSO rollup or it's legacy, or you want to just expand your reach and you want to help more people, all those things are great and fine. but I think like figuring out how do I make my other locations profitable? Or if you're in a single location, I think a lot of these tactics will apply to you. So let's kind of dig into these multi-location places, Dana. ⁓ cause I think it's funny, like we've seen some offices where it's not funny. It's unfortunate that like two are doing so good. And so they expand and they open up more.   And then these other two are not doing so well. they're like two are profitable and two are not. So then we're not profitable all the way around and we're working our guts out. So let's talk about like, how do you fix that problem? And I think for solo practices, if you're in this boat, these things can apply to you too, if you're not as profitable, because I've also seen in solo practices where they've maybe added like a Medi Spa to it and maybe, and that's two technically different businesses under one roof.   If the spa is not doing well, like I just talked to someone the other day, their spa is sucking them dry, but the dental practice is doing well, but they think the practice needs help when it's like, no, no, no, the practice is fine. The Medi spa is the problem. Or if practices have multi locations, but it's all under one umbrella, they have no clue which practice is actually the problem practice. And I think that that's something we also see is they don't actually separate them out. So they're like, we don't even know which practice. So let's dive into it, Dana. You've been working with a couple like this. Let's kind of dig into some of your, your tips and tricks.   Dana (05:56) Yeah, and that's honestly exactly what we did in the beginning is, hey, let's separate and let's look at numbers individually for each practice so we can see.   Kiera Dent (05:57) you   Dana (06:06) as a whole, are we doing? Yes. But where are we profitable and where aren't we so that we know, like you said, how we can hone in and target our efforts on the ones that need a little bit more of a boost or show a little bit more of opportunity. And so once we figured that out, then it really is looking at fixed costs for individual practices. It's looking at overhead expenses and then it is really projecting out what does it take to get it to where we want to be.   So what do we actually need? And in this instance, it was really cool to be able to even dive a little bit deeper as far as, okay, well, if we take the doctor, if we take the provider away from the profit that's like...   Kiera Dent (06:51) Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. ⁓   Dana (06:51) the practice is profitable and he's working in one of the other practices like what does that also cost the practice that is booming and so it's it was really fun to just map that out have them see that also too every time he's pulled to one of these other practices there is a cost to the   larger location. And so just getting them to see that it just helps him   make a better decision as far as   how much time that he is spending there versus associates and then getting the associates to help grow external practices. And it just, think gave him just a clearer picture. ⁓ And then we also looked at, okay, well, you know, considering investing in some marketing for these. So what does it take for how many new patients do we really need to get to that number? And then we kind of mapped it out and okay, well, what does the marketing spend look like for one year, for two years, for three years to get   there so then they had a timeline to ⁓ just be able to make decisions on.   Kiera Dent (07:57) Mm   hmm. Yeah. No, Dana, you brought up so many good points. And I think like, let's drill down into this a little bit, because you like, these are the things where numbers become so fun, because now it's just a plus b equals c. But if we do a plus b plus c, that's going to equal d. If we take a minus b, add c, what does that equal? ⁓ And so that's really where it's like looking at this. And so I think for a lot of providers, especially our powerhouse providers that started the practice made these profits.   practices and then open multiples, there can be this thought process of, well, I have to be in the practice all the time. Otherwise, the practice doesn't make money. And I think that is one way to live. But let's also like, choose our own adventure books. Like, let's go back in time, like we could have at the end of that chapter, it says, okay, option one is you're going to actually continue working like this, and you are going to be the provider in four locations. Or we can have you be where we powerhouse you.   in one or two or maybe all four, but it's a very sustainable schedule for you. And we work to build up the associates and the hygiene department and we make it to where all of them are flourishing with or without you. And to me, I like to choose option B, you can choose option A if you want, but that's like a sure shot to burnout. And I think so many multi-practice owners actually do this, like I'm gonna go to all the practices because I'm the strong producer, I'm the strong provider, I need to get these things going and you can.   but it's like for how long and is there another path? So drilling it down, Dana, I think let's talk about like, how can they do this other path with ease? Like what are some of the tactical things that we've seen with practices you're working with, with other practices that we've worked with in the past? Like what are some of these like tactical pieces? how can we, because I think that illusion is so strong that I have to be the producer, I have to be the one who hits the numbers. What else can we do and how long is that timeline realistically?   Dana (09:47) Yeah, I think the first and foremost is if you aren't going to be the provider in in the other practices It's really building strong associates really making sure that you're finding the right fit for Whether it's the main office whether it's one of the extension offices whatever it is that that associate really is the right fit and That you are calibrating really well and you are bringing in strong associates who want to grow these practices with you and alongside you because I get you can't be in every   practice you can but like you said it sure is a way to be exhausted and burnt out and start to just not love owning all of these practices.   Kiera Dent (10:28) Mm-hmm. And like, let's so as you said that it makes me think about like when you buy a practice I remember I was working with this this potential client We were looking at the metrics of this practice and they realized that like 70 % of the production of this practice was actually being done By procedures that this dentist didn't do so was like, well good luck buying that practice You only can do 30 % of this production. So yes, they may have produced like 1.5 or 1.9 like whatever it is   but slash 70 % of that because you won't be able to produce that unless you bring an associate in. And so I think when you talked about like, are the monthly costs of this practice? What does it actually take us to run? Let's do our second location. Well, you're so used to your practice right now because you're probably doing these expanded procedures. You're probably doing these higher ones. And most of the time, what I see is doctors are like, well, I'm just going to hire someone who can do bread and butter dentistry as my associate. So then I can just do these big surgeries. Well, if that's the case, we need to figure out.   Practice number two or practice number three, A, what are the actual full costs of that practice and what do we need to produce? B, can we produce that on bread and butter or do we need to bring in your specialty? If we need to bring your specialty in or if we're going to pull you out of current option A, like where you currently are with an associate, how much of the dentistry is actually being done by your specialty services? And do you need to hire an associate that can do some of those specialty services as well? This is where the numbers become so paramount because it's like, we produced   1.5 or we produce two or we produce three. Now we're going to open our next location. But like Dana said, like bringing on an associate, it's not just a good fit. It's also making sure that they have the procedure makeup mix that can offset your production loss when you're gone. Or you get very strategic of, okay, when I am in practice A, I'm only doing these high end ones. So I'm producing this amount. They're, they're funneling these exams to me. You also have to be careful because if your associate doesn't do these high end procedures,   they're not going to look for in exams. So that's when you calibrate your associates, you calibrate your hygiene team to look for it. And when you get to multi offices, this is where Zoom and virtual meetings become paramount because you get all associates together and we all start looking for it. So we actually become referring partners to one another within the practices. And we also get our hygiene team and or AI to make sure that all the, of us are diagnosing the same level. So these are the things where I'm like, this actually can make your   multi-practice ownership way easier if you get these good foundations in place. And like you said, Dana, you find an associate who's like just as good, if not better, if you need them to be, but looking at the numbers because just because your practice is producing 2 million, 2.5, 3 million, wherever you are before you open your second location, maybe it's 1.5, look to see how much of that is done by your higher end services because typically an associate coming out of school   or a newer associate who's bread and butter dentistry is usually producing like five to 6,000 a day. Well, look at what you're producing. And if we brought someone in, can they produce that? Or if straight out of school, they're producing like 2,500. So you might need to scale up or have multi associates. But I think also being strategic when you open these practices of what do my doctors on the low end need to produce? Because I know they're going to produce lower at the beginning. How can I calibrate them and work with them every single month, every single week?   How can we take x-rays and make sure from the get-go these associates are doing really well? And also how can my hygiene team make sure that they're all calibrated to be doing the exams that we want? I think like those things might feel hard, but choose your heart in the scenario of I'd rather do that and know what I actually have to produce rather than just thinking we're gonna like stamp and repeat when you might be the higher producer. Dana, that was a lot of thoughts. What are your thoughts on that?   Dana (14:08) No, I love that and you're exactly right. think looking at the service mix, knowing how much of your production comes from those things because then it's like how important is it to find that and what exactly am I looking for in an associate? you know, we talk about avatars a fair amount and it's just like that is what points you into building those pieces and honing in for exactly what you need to be successful.   Kiera Dent (14:34) Mm-hmm, and I'm really big also on like how can we scrap the cost down at the beginning? Because gosh like I don't have children Dana you have four and so I think Question mark you you probably speak to this better than I can obviously you can't because you've gone through it But my hunch is when you have a baby, it's really hard and then as they get older You're like shoot. Let's have another baby and maybe you've forgotten how hard baby is when they're a baby Is this true or false? I just tell me how it is like   baby grows up and then you have the next baby like did you maybe forget how hard it was to have a brand new newborn and you're like tell me about that like how is that parenting   Dana (15:08) yeah.   Well, yeah, for sure.   Your mind plays tricks on you and makes you think that it's going to be super simple. And yeah, it's just like each phase, right? You kind of forget how you look back, right? And you see the beautiful things, right? You see the things that were fun. You see how much they smelled so good and how little they were, you know, all those pieces. And yeah, you do remember or you do remember the highlights and you tend to forget like the long exhaust   you know, nights that can sometimes come with a little tiny human. So yeah.   Kiera Dent (15:43) Yeah.   And I think that's about practice ownership too. So when you look at it, you have forgotten when you go to buy your second location, the scrap and the hard and all the things you did to build that thing to be successful. Like literally we forget, I forget, I mean, I was talking to Shelby and I'm like, I remember paying Tiffany on straight Venmo. Why she continued to work with me. I don't know my Venmo account. there's a max that you can send every single week, month.   And I'm like, Tiff, I hit my limit. Like, I'll have to send it to you when it resets in like three days. How on earth the Tiffany keep working with me is question number one I have. And number two, like, that's not even something that I even like remotely think about in today's world. Like, things are so set up, but you forget all of that. And so I think when we buy practice number two or practice number three, and we're looking at these costs, let's not go for the bougie luxury of exactly what we have. Let's figure out what are the things that are going to make it consistent. Same software, same exams, same like   a operatory setup if possible, because those things actually make you move quicker and then your practices become standardized. So when you go from location to location, it's much easier. But those are gonna be some of the things that also keep the costs lower. So we don't have to produce as much with you in there and still have it be profitable because you can have a practice that's only producing say 70,000 or 80,000 without you there at a 50 % overhead.   and still shelling out to you 20 to 30 % profit, depending upon how you're paying your associates. And that's still a great practice. It does not have to be producing the numbers if you keep your costs within reason. And so I think also being careful that if you're not there and we don't need all these, like we don't need all the marketing for the second location. We don't need all the implant supplies. Like if that's not a part in our associates not going to do it, then make sure that we're not incurring that cost. Because what that does is I think that this is where we then get into the struggle.   of the profitability of the multi-practices that then fluctuates because we're standardizing, but we're also trying to make all of them the exact same when maybe that's unnecessary. So I think that's one, but then you also talked about marketing because every new location has a different makeup. They're going to have a different makeup of patients. And just because it worked in one area for your marketing does not mean it works in another area. So Dana, let's do a little dig. We have a hypothetical for, for practice location, two practices are profitable. The other two aren't.   What are some of the steps or things that we should look for to get these other two profitable? Because we kind of talked about like before you buy a practice or if you're already in it, like here's some things to do or looking for these different associates, but like, shoot, I'm already in it. I've got two that are great, two that are bleeding. What do I do on these bleeding ones to make them healthy?   Dana (18:22) Yeah. And I think it's multi-practice, single practice, whatever it is, it's knowing who you're trying to attract and where are they? And so it, you know,   If you're a pediatric practice, Well, who are the parents that we're targeting? Who are the moms that we're targeting? Where are they in the community? How can we get involved in the things that they're involved in? Whether it is even online Facebook groups or whatever it is. But I think it starts with knowing exactly who you want to walk through your door and where you find them around the location of the practice.   Kiera Dent (18:56) Mm-hmm. And that's going to help because also pay attention because certain areas will attract different parents. Like there's different demographics. There's different socioeconomics. Like, so just because you're trying to attract the Lululemon mom for one practice, you might be attracting the Walmart Target mom at another location. Both moms are amazing. Both children will be great, but you've got to do like the Lululemon mom.   has very different marketing tactics and what you're going to do and what your giveaways might be in that practice or whatever you strive to do, how you're going to involve in the community. I'm going to be at the Pilates. I'm going to be at the juicer places. I'm going to be at like Elixir. Like that's what I'm doing for my Lululemon mom. I'm going to be like, they're probably at charter schools more than they're at public schools. That's going to be a different mom. And then my moms who are the target Walmart moms, I'm going to be at like the community centers. I'm going to be at the rec centers. I'm going to be at the YMCA. I'm going to be at   The I don't know like the moose lot like whatever those ones are where lots of kids go you guys I don't have kids so clearly I'm not great at this but like that's why I'm not a pediatric dentist either ⁓ But you look at it those moms are gonna be different The moms who are about Walmart are going to want someone who is cost of like so you might throw membership plans in there because they're more for that the lululemon mom's probably going to want more of like the Nutrition and what can I do and what's the highest quality? They're not going for like your lowest like   like give me a deal, but your Walmart and your Target mom probably is. And so again, there's nothing wrong with either mom, but your marketing strategies will probably need to change. So when you're looking at that profit margin or the bleeding practices, is our marketing working and do we need to change it up? Agreed. Do we have enough new patients for that? I also think I'd be looking at my costs. Like do, our staffing right? Cause some of these bleeding practices don't have enough patients that we might need to scale back our team.   at those locations to where maybe we're working two or three days. Like that's a bummer, but we're going to hire more part-time employees rather than full-time employees until we can build up to that. And these are decisions that I just want to highlight. CEOs, this is why we get paid what we get paid because our job is to make these hard decisions. Our job is to say like, we don't have the space for this. So we tell the team, you don't just have to go like whack, like, all right, we're out. It's like, Hey, we've got two months that we can do this and I need to get this patient up to this amount. This is our BAM. This is what we have to produce.   And if we don't, we're going to need to cut back to three days. Like it's just a black and white conversation, but your job as a CEO is to make sure you're not bleeding money and you get those practices profitable. It's also, what can we do? Can I, can I go in and mentor that associate doctor? Can they come and watch me? Can we assist each other? So that way they see how I'm doing these procedures and I can help them get more confident in it. Like what needs to happen to get that production number up? What, what do I need to do for my assisting team there?   So again, it's not, and I think for these multi-practice owners, I think one of my biggest tips is you are not the solution. Pretend you are a puppeteer behind the screen. How do you get all these practices profitable without you being the one? Dana, what are your thoughts about that? Cause that's how I feel, but I'm curious how you feel.   Dana (22:03) Mm-hmm. No, I agree with you completely and I think that when they have the numbers when they look at those pieces when they can say, okay If I bring in an associate and they produce at this amount it will take me let's say While use pediatric as an example, they produce 300 an hour right or 300 per patient per new patient that comes in and then you can say okay Well, if we do it at that if we do it at the 450 level if we do it closer to the 700 per patient or per hour then   Kiera Dent (22:20) Mm-hmm.   Dana (22:31) it lets you see how quickly you can grow, how quickly you can get to the production that you need to cover your expenses, those pieces. And so I just think that you're 100 % right. And knowing the numbers to be able to make those decisions and make those critical cuts or those critical ⁓ avenues for success, it just truly, truly helps.   Kiera Dent (22:55) And it all comes back to the numbers. And I think when you know your BAM, like a true BAM, we're talking bare ace minimum, we're not going again. It's, it's like, think back to when you started the practice, that's bare ace minimum. Like, what do I need to do to scrap it down? We're talking top ramen versus filet mignon. We'll get to the filets, but we need to start here, grow up to it. Again, choose your heart. For me, it's way harder to be not profitable and cash flowing negatively rather than not hiring as much or cutting my supplies down or   limiting what we're doing or changing my hours up until I can get it there. Now, Dana, let's go into a weird one because a lot of times owners think like, especially like solo practice owners, that if my practice isn't profitable, I'm going to scale it down to like two or three days and then I'm going to go moonlight at another practice. This is like a very hot debate that I have within myself. like, what are your thoughts about that? I have very strong opinions about this, but I'm super curious because   That can seem like a plausible idea, right? Like, let's go work somewhere else. Let's bring in the money to cover this one while I build it up. Give me some thoughts on that if your one practice isn't doing as well.   Dana (24:01) Yeah. And you know, I can understand the notion of like wanting to do that, because it's like, I'm trying to stop the bleeding, or I'm trying to at least reduce the stress or reduce the feeling of this isn't growing fast enough, or it isn't as successful as they want. But then what you're doing is you're really limiting the potential, you're limiting the potential of the location that you already   have right to then go where you don't have unlimited potential. And so I just feel like to plug the energy and put the effort and put the focus on the practice versus I can understand the want to go find something that is steady and stable when this feels so uncertain or we don't know. But I do feel like you you put your energy and your focus on it and it will   be more profitable than if we went somewhere else where it's capped for sure.   Kiera Dent (24:57) Mm   hmm. It's fun debate that I really love and I love the perspectives and I think there's no right answer. You've got to figure out what's right for you. But I am very similar to Dana in the sense of I feel when you have an out of a second practice that you moonlight at, ⁓ it doesn't force you to innovate in your space. It's kind of like a bandaid where it's like, okay, yeah, yeah, this can bleed kind of like a second location or a third location that's not as profitable and your first and second ones are just covering up the pain of it.   ⁓ to where you're like all right we'll just go and we'll find money in another place versus like no if you have to sit in this place you will figure it out because there's no other option like the boats have been burned we have to figure out what we're going to do and we have to make this work and so that's kind of where i'm like sure i see it but i also think there has to be a date that's in stone of we will end by this time and i know i have to have it profitable   Same thing with your bleeding practices. I think when you put dates on it of like by this date, it has to be profitable and you have to have the self integrity within yourself that you will actually own that that you will work towards that because otherwise you said Dana like it's unlimited potential within your practice. It's also like you're limiting yourself by going to another location and I feel like if another location is easier for you, maybe being a practice owner is not right for you. And I say that with love and respect, like know thyself and be free.   ⁓ because I feel like, when you burn the boat to innovate, find it. Shelby and I were talking the other day and we like throughout this goal and Shelby's like, Kiera, I don't even know how we're going to do that. We've never done that before. And I said, I don't know either. We're going to figure it out. Like that's just how you have to operate. Like, I don't know. And so whether it's, need a coach or you need someone to guide you like Dana, like sometimes we're in the thick of it. I have coaches. I can't see. I call Liz all the time. I'm like, Liz.   I need your perspective because I don't know and I'm in it and I need you to be a bird's eye view for me of like, where do I need to navigate through this? Because the option is to go through it. It's not to like jump off board. ⁓ but maybe you need a coach. Maybe you need to like look at the numbers and figure it out. Maybe you need to realize I'm not the solution for it. And if I'm not the solution, then what are my solutions in the, in the coloring box or in my toolbox? Like I think when you remove yourself and you say, because it's not sustainable.   Four practices, one doctor and trying to be the profit producer for all of them. Like that's a hard ask even for a short amount of time. Sure, you can do it, but it's not sustainable. Like you will burn out. And I see these doctors coming in like crisp fried, like ready to give up everything. They have nothing left. They're becoming numb. They're becoming like detached from family members. They don't even get excited for things that used to make them excited because they're literally burnt to a crisp. So it's not a sustainable model. So why are we doing it?   cause we think it's easier. like we think moonlighting is easier versus like, no, let's fix the problem. Let's have a date in stone and let's move on. So Dana, I freaking love these conversations because it helps me see like one, you've got to know your numbers. The numbers will tell you what to do or not to do. Two, I think you've got to be really confident in making the decisions. Three, let's set some dates in stone and make sure that we're actually committed to figuring out the problems by this date. We're not pumping more money into it. ⁓ honestly, like   If I was looking and I had practices that weren't profitable, I think the only areas I would spend money are possibly marketing, possibly, but there's so much free marketing that you can do. So let's not throw money there if we're actually losing money. I would spend money on a great consultant, someone who's been there, done it and done it successfully to move you there because sometimes when we're in the thick of our problems, we can't get out of it. So that is another cost that, but again, I talked to a doctor there on cashflow row right now is what I call it. And I said, all right.   You have two choices. You're either going to rise up or you're going to rise out. Like you take your, like choose your heart. And to me, I'd rather like pay the money and commit and make the decisions and like follow through or turn it over. Like you're in cashflow row. There's no other option for you. So you've got to execute. ⁓ and really, truly like those are the main things that I would spend money on. And then I would look to see how can I cut my expenses and what do I actually have to do and produce to take the stress off to become profitable or at least not losing money.   That's like my only focus for that time and I don't let anything else distract me. It's very hard to put those blinders on, but I think that's also where an accountability coach, a consultant. Yes, I will toot our own horn. Dental A Team is really, really good at this. We do not let you steer away from it. I know you want to talk about marketing and I know you want to talk about like, but we need these supplies. No, that's a distraction from what's really going on. We need to get profitable and that's production, collections and overhead reduction. Like that's all you need to do during those moments.   So let's figure it out and let's find the way and put those blinders on and commit that we will always be profitable. Dana, I'm off my soapbox. Any last thoughts you've got? Because I clearly am passionate about this.   Dana (29:42) No, I love seeing the passion and you know, it just bleeds through in everything you do and and that's the passion that we have for our clients. And so when we see them in these situations and it's like, let's dig in together. Let's figure it out and put in the work.   Kiera Dent (29:55) Yeah, Dana, brilliant. love that you have clients like this. love that I have clients like these are the puzzles we love to help you with. So whether you're a solo practitioner or you're a multi owner practitioner or you're thinking multi ownership, whatever it is, like I really do think having a coach hopefully before you get to this spot, if you're already in the spot, rock on, we can still help you. So I think like whether you're in it now, like get the help, like throw up the life raft right now before it's too late.

Do you ever stop to think about what your clothes are saying before you even speak? We've all heard that first impressions matter—but have you ever wondered if your outfit might be the silent ambassador standing between you and that elusive promotion? In this episode of Productivity Smarts, host Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Gayla Bentley, a fashion icon whose work has graced People Magazine, Oprah Magazine, and even Shark Tank. Gayla shares how personal style isn't just about looking good—it's a transformative tool for confidence, clarity, and productivity. From her early struggles as a "chubby tomboy" to becoming a sought-after stylist for Fortune 500 executives, Gayla reveals how mastering your wardrobe can save time, reduce stress, and elevate your professional and personal life.   Gerald and Gayla dive into practical tips for building a functional wardrobe, the psychology of first impressions, and how to thrive in remote work settings. Whether you're a CEO or a college grad on a budget, Gayla's insights will help you unlock the power of style to achieve your goals.  What We Discuss [02:05] Introduction to Gayla Bentley [05:08] Gayla Bentley's journey into fashion and what has made her successful [08:20] Mentoring and coaching as the HOV lane [12:06] Lifestyle chart as mentioned in Gayla's book [13:24] How style influences a person's individual productivity [18:43] Helping people discover their style without feeling overwhelmed by the economy [21:49] Breakthrough stories from clients [24:17] Remote work style: Balancing comfort and professionalism [26:21] Organizing your wardrobe: The key to consistent style [28:14] The importance of professional image consulting [29:13] Final thoughts and resources Notable Quotes [05:39] “I heard God say to me, don't worry, Gayla.

Welcome to Season 10 of All the Feelings, where your hosts Pete Wright and Tommy Metz III take you on a guided tour of that weird liminal space between “I should know better by now” and “Why does filling out a W-2 feel like a personality test written by Kafka?”In this premiere episode, the subject is Money, starting with the slow-burning crisis of homeownership. Tommy—staunch apartment loyalist and occasional demon extractor—wonders if owning property is still the pinnacle of adult success, or just another gatekeeping tradition propped up by 1940s mortgage policy and peer pressure from ghosts. Pete, long-time homeowner and accidental handyman, walks us through the real cost of grass, siding, and painting things that no landlord will pay for.Then, it's Tax Time: the annual gauntlet where America's adults cosplay as accountants and hope they don't accidentally confess to fraud. If you've ever had to Google “What is MAGI?” and gotten answers involving sorcery or the Nativity, this episode is for you. Pete recounts his annual ritual of fiscal shame and digital form-filling dread, and Tommy offers a scathing comparison between the IRS and the HOV lane—both of which function primarily through fear.Along the way, we explore the emotional toll of systems that are designed to be opaque, the quiet panic of feeling unqualified to do basic grown-up things, and why the true cost of adulthood might just be your confidence. Spoiler: No one really knows what they're doing. Even Einstein.

On Friday's show: A year ago today, the Houston derecho moved through southeast Texas, spawning four tornadoes and creating intense winds that caused widespread damage in Houston, especially downtown where windows were blown out of many high-rise buildings. Ultimately, seven people in Greater Houston lost their lives. We reflect on what happened, why it affected downtown so greatly, and what scientists have learned from studying the event.Also this hour: The nonprofit news organization Houston Landing has shut down. One of its journalists, Maggie Gordon, joins us to reflect on what the site achieved in its short run and to discuss the lessons learned from its demise.Then, from record-breaking temperatures this week, to letting moms and soon-to-be-moms have unlimited access to HOV lanes in Texas, to a streaming service that just can't stopping changing its name, we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.And The Ensemble Theatre serves up a slice of life after retirement in the regional premiere of the play, Coconut Cake.

This week, we take over the HOV lane with Carpool; the family comedy that wants so badly to be edgy, but ultimately fails because it's trying to capture the minds and hearts of a younger audience. The end result is a movie that's got really great pacing and sense of cause and effect, but has just a little too much Tom Arnold for comfort. Here we go! Clingy carny criminal cajacks and kidnaps kids, is caught by a Karen cop, and continues to cut and run, causing chaos constantly! Child abduction breast reduction! Arnold almost always averts attention away from aiming automobile! PC police prevent piss-poor P.T. Barnum from profiting! Factory circus? Improper tube logic, and much, much more on this week's episode of The Worst Movie Ever Made! www.theworstmovieevermade.com
