Podcasts about Hygiene

One caller. One problem almost every dentist is dealing with. Jesse is a new practice owner in a rural market. One hygienist is out on maternity leave, another is burning out from assisted hygiene, and after calling schools, searching job boards, and exhausting his options, he's asking the question every owner eventually asks: "What do I do now?" Peter and Craig explain why this isn't just bad luck. The hygiene shortage is real, but waiting for the perfect candidate isn't a strategy. They unpack why hygiene is becoming one of the strongest careers in healthcare, why most hiring ads blend into the sea of sameness, and how practices can market themselves to future team members the same way they market to new patients. Along the way, they discuss employee referral bonuses, recruiting videos made by your existing team, why total compensation beats hourly pay, hiring for the practice you want instead of the practice you have, and the difference between hiring great people and actually keeping them.

Abiding for Health: The Fruit of The Spirit | The Hygiene of My Heart (Week 8)Description:Are you exhausted from trying to "fix" your behavior? Do you feel like your spiritual life is stuck in a construction zone, constantly trying to force changes that don't seem to last?In this final, high-impact message of "The Hygiene of My Heart" series, Pastor Charlie Grimes concludes our clinical soul assessment by revealing exactly what a fully healthy, thriving heart looks like. We step out of the diagnostic lab and into the vineyard to discover that spiritual wholeness isn't a behavior we construct; it's a harvest God cultivates!Building on the foundation laid throughout this eight-week journey, we integrate our unique medical and biblical diagnostic tools to understand:

Hvordan skal global psykisk helse og humanitær sektor bevege seg forbi sin diskriminerende historie?I denne episoden tar vi en titt på innsiden av global psykisk helse og humanitær sektor. Du får møte grunnleggeren og psykiateren Dixon Chibanda, som har ledet Friendship Bench fra lokalt initiativ til globalt fenomen. Du får høre hvordan tilsynelatende tilfeldige menneskemøter bidro til hans livsreise. Dixon deler hvordan han har opplevd diskrimineringen i ulike nivåer innen global psykisk helse og den humanitære sektoren. Han løfter hvordan han har møtt underbevisste narrativer hos seg selv og mange av de han har møtt fra det globale nord, som han ser bidrar til å opprettholde den skjeve maktbalansen fra kolonitiden. Både innen fagfeltet psykiatri, akademia og global psykisk helse, men like mye i samfunnet generelt. Noe han føler vi må tørre å møte i oss selv og andre for å skape rom for en verden der trenden med psykisk uhelse snur. Da han ser trenden innen psykisk uhelse som tett sammenkoblet med skeivhetene i verden.Sammen med Jimmy ser de på hvordan man kan bidra til å endre de underliggende narrativene som mange av oss bærer på underbevisst.Dixon Chibanda leder Friendship Bench Global og er grunnlegger av Friendship Bench som startet i Zimbabwe. Han har bakgrunn i medisin fra Tsjekkia og universitetet i Zimbabwe, i tillegg til PHD i psykiatri ved Universitetet i Cape Town. Sammen med 14 bestemødre utviklet de metodikken som nå lærer opp community workers i den problemløsende delen av CBT. Dixon brenner for kraften i community og viktigheten av relasjoner med de rundt oss, like mye som han brenner for å spre innsikt og kunnskap på feltet. Noe han gjør som førsteamanuensis ved London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, U. of London & Universitetet i Zimbabwe.God lytting!

It's been nearly a month since the World Health Organization declared the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. The numbers of confirmed cases and deaths are continuing to rise. In a situation facing a lethal pathogen and zero approved vaccines, what does it take to stop the spread of the virus? Host Ding Heng is joined by Susannah Mayhew, Professor of Health Policy, Systems and Reproductive Health at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine; Shane Thomas, Professor of Health Promotion at Federation University Australia; Professor Wu Zhiwei from School of Pharmacy, Dali University in Yunnan, China.

EuGH kippt „Bett, Brot und Seife“: Deutschland bleibt Zahlmeister Deutschland zahlt, und Brüssel bestimmt. Wer vollziehbar ausreisepflichtig ist, also eigentlich gar nicht mehr im Land sein dürfte, sollte bisher nur noch das Notwendigste erhalten: Unterkunft, Essen, Hygiene, medizinische Versorgung. „Bett, Brot und Seife“ nannte man das bisher. Doch selbst diese minimale Begrenzung hat der Europäische Gerichtshof nun kassiert. Auch Ausreisepflichtige sollen weiter Geld für Kleidung und Bargeld bekommen - zur Teilnahme am sozialen Leben, wie es immer heißt. Dabei geht es längst nicht mehr nur um Asylleistungen. Es geht um die Grundfrage: Wer entscheidet eigentlich noch in Deutschland? Der Bundestag? Die Bundesregierung? Das Bundesverfassungsgericht? Oder am Ende der EuGH, der europäische Werte immer weiter auslegt und nationales Recht nach eigenen Maßstäben auslegt? Ulrich Vosgerau spricht von einer „Konstitutionalisierung von oben“: Europa wird behandelt, als sei es längst ein Bundesstaat mit dem EuGH als oberstem Verfassungsgericht. Das Asylrecht ist dabei nur der sichtbare Teil. Die wichtigere Frage lautet: Wird Deutschland Schritt für Schritt zum Vollzugsorgan europäischer Richterpolitik und zugleich zum Zahlmeister eines Systems, das es selbst kaum noch steuern kann? Darüber unterhielt sich Maximilian Tichy mit Staatsrechtler Ulrich Vosgerau.

A former inmate who served time with Ghislaine Maxwell at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee claimed Maxwell was widely disliked by both prisoners and staff and frequently clashed with others over her behavior inside the facility. The former inmate, who used a pseudonym while speaking publicly about her time in prison, said Maxwell often acted entitled and ignored normal prison routines. According to her account, Maxwell would sometimes skip the food line in the chow hall while other inmates waited and regularly filed complaints about conditions inside the prison. The former inmate claimed Maxwell submitted hundreds of complaints in a single year covering issues ranging from food portions to daily living conditions, which allegedly caused frustration among both guards and fellow inmates. She also said Maxwell worked out frequently but rarely showered afterward, which became a point of ridicule and tension among prisoners living in close quarters.The former inmate also described several incidents that illustrated the hostility Maxwell faced from other prisoners because of her conviction for helping Jeffrey Epstein traffic underage girls. According to the account, inmates considered Maxwell among the lowest-status prisoners due to the nature of her crimes, and her social circle inside the prison was small. Despite the tension, Maxwell reportedly taught classes to other inmates on etiquette and legal procedures, helping them understand how to file motions in court. The former inmate said Maxwell appeared knowledgeable about legal issues and served as a sort of informal instructor during the classes. She also claimed Maxwell avoided discussing Epstein or high-profile figures connected to the scandal and became angry when a television series about her aired in the prison recreation area. The attention surrounding Maxwell also caused disruptions at the facility, with helicopters and aircraft sometimes flying overhead in attempts to photograph her, occasionally triggering lockdowns inside the prison.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Inside Ghislaine Maxwell's clashes with inmates after 'cozying up to prison diva, skipping food lines, & not showering'Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Are you settling for superficial flashes of intensity, or are your relationships grounded in a deep, life-giving connection?In Week 7 of our series, "The Hygiene of My Heart", Charlie Grimes diagnoses a highly deceptive and destructive vice that often wears the mask of romantic desire or ordinary validation, but operates as a severe internal malfunction: Lust.Using the Greek concept of Hygias—meaning sound, healthy, and completely whole—we step into the divine clinic to map out the true anatomy of human intimacy. Far from being a harmless or isolated mental habit, lust acts as a spiritual short-circuit. It mimics our natural, God-given wiring for connection, yet uses visual and mental consumption to bypass the slow, sacred process of sacrificial love, leaving our spiritual health in the dark.In this video, you will discover:The Screwtape Strategy: An eye-opening framework inspired by C.S. Lewis on how modern entertainment algorithms exploit our mental fatigue to detach physical appetites from genuine personal connection.Biology, Psychology, and Theology to bear healthy, kingdom-minded fruit.The Insulation Protocol: Practical micro-moments and defensive filtering habits to guard your eyes, clear out toxic imagination, and protect the spiritual purity of your local church community.Big Idea: Lust is an unauthorized short circuit of desire that distorts God's design for intimacy, consuming the vessel it is stored in while objectifying those we are called to love.Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 6:12–20; Psalm 119:9–11

Send us Fan MailSweat, hormones, and summer heat can turn “go take a shower” into a daily battle, and I don't want our kids learning hygiene through embarrassment. We're talking about child hygiene as a real life skill: how to explain body odor and bacteria in a simple way, how to build routines that stick, and how to mentor instead of just correct. When kids understand the why, hygiene stops feeling like a punishment and starts feeling like self-respect. We get specific about when to start (and how to supervise without hovering), what changes during puberty, and why hair growth and cycles can make odor stronger. I also share practical hygiene tools that help at any age: soap and water over shortcuts, deodorant that actually lasts, oral care upgrades like tongue scrapers and flossers, and the often-missed basics of bathroom hygiene. For teens, we dig into face washing, acne, moisturizer, and why removing makeup at night matters. We also cover how to teach hygiene without shame. That means calm language, no teasing, and using our own stories so the lesson lands at eye level. We talk about modeling routines, using simple charts for younger kids, and including hair washing as part of total body care. Finally, we zoom out to whole-body wellness with a conversation about internal health and digestion, because feeling “clean” is not only external. Subscribe to Mom to Mentor, share this with a parent who needs it, and leave a review so more moms can find the show.

In this bonus episode of Communicable, hosts Anne-Grete Märtson and Angela Huttner invite Martin Grobush (University of Amsterdam; ESCMID Emerging Infections Subcommittee) and Daniel Bausch (National University of Singapore, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, and Geneva Graduate Institute) to discuss the Bundibugyo ebolavirus outbreak currently ongoing in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. Clinical and virological differences between Bundibugyo and Zaire ebolaviruses are discussed, as are the particular challenges for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention confronting healthcare workers of this outbreak. The episode accompanies two new publications in CMI Communications and CMI:Gupta N, Mora-Rillo M, Gkrania-Klotsas E, et al. Bundibugyo ebolavirus (BDBV): what first responders/clinicians need to know. CMI Communications, 2026; 2 (DOI: 10.1016/j.cmicom.2026.105207) Gupta N, Marta Mora-Rillo, Gkrania-Klotsas E, et al.

As concerns escalate about the deadly Ebola virus outbreak in Africa, we bring you the unique insights of Dr. Peter Piot, a renowned microbiologist who co-discovered the virus 50 years ago during the first recorded outbreak of the disease. His on-the-ground account of that crisis was provided to us in April before the current outbreak was declared, but it contains valuable historical perspective and shares lessons learned that he carried forward in his consequential career.  “What I saw from the beginning is the most important thing is to listen to people and that you need to act fast to save lives, before you have the evidence you would like to have.”    He followed his contributions on Ebola by diving into the fight against HIV/AIDS, eventually reshaping global response in leadership roles at the World Health Organization and United Nations. As he shares with host Lindsey Smith, the learnings in that case were more pragmatic than scientific. “We had to redefine HIV/AIDS not as a medical problem but as an economic and security problem in order to get it on the political agenda.”  Tune in for a fascinating episode that takes you from the gritty frontlines of public health crises to the battles for funding and attention in the halls of power as Dr. Piot shares what it actually takes to move the world to respond effectively to health threats.

“Dixon Chibanda's beautiful and heroic book will inspire everyone who reads it.”— Johann Hari2025 BookPal OWL Award Winner • As featured on CBS Sunday Morning and NPR's Here and NowA simple, human solution for loneliness and depressionWhen Dr. Dixon Chibanda lost a patient to suicide, he began a soul-searching journey that eventually led to a mental healthcare revolution. As one of only six psychiatrists in all of Zimbabwe, a country traumatized by decades of conflict, Chibanda quickly realized that millions there were suffering from mental illness with no hope of receiving care. He saw that the only way to narrow this care gap was to leverage existing resources in the community, and one such resource was the compassion and understanding of grandmothers. With fourteen of these wise elders as partners, Chibanda pioneered the Friendship Bench program, a community-driven initiative addressing loneliness, depression, substance abuse, and suicide by fostering intergenerational connectedness. Since then, more than 500,000 people worldwide have sat on a park bench to share their personal stories with an empathetic grandmother.A primer on how human connection forms the bedrock of our resilience, The Friendship Bench gives readers the tools to facilitate transformative healing by reaching out to those who are struggling and isolated from the world around them. It's a case study of how interventions supported by robust scientific evidence can be made accessible for all. Ultimately, it's a celebration of the collective wisdom and knowledge of those rooted in their communities and their profound ability to foster belonging, purpose, and healing.Dixon Chibanda, MD, is a professor of psychiatry at the University of Zimbabwe and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. The director of the African Mental Health Research Initiative (AMARI), he has written about his work for The Guardian and LA Times and spoken to audiences at the World Economic Forum, the Aspen Ideas Festival, and the TEDWomen conference.https://www.friendshipbench.org/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Someone in your family has it. You just don't know yet.1 in 3 adults in Kampala has high blood pressure right now. Diabetes has doubled in 10 years. And the patients living with it? Some of them told our guest, a world-class researcher, that they wish they had HIV instead.Because at least HIV has care.In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Francis Xavier Kasujja, Public Health Researcher at MRC UVRI and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine — a man who has spent 15 years quietly doing the work that is reshaping how Uganda treats its sickest people. His research has been published twice in The Lancet, the most prestigious medical journal in the world. And his findings helped change government health policy.But he didn't come here to talk about accolades.He came to tell you the truth.In this conversation, you'll discover;

Star Jam Ft. Chef Pilllai | RJ Rafi | Part 2 In this Star Jam episode, Chef Suresh Pillai sits down with RJ Rafi to unpack why mandi has become Kerala's most loved comfort food and what that says about our changing food culture. From affordability, speed and sharing culture to the unhealthy rise of mayonnaise with rice, he breaks down how we eat, what we waste, and why better meal planning can transform both our health and our household budgets.Chef Pillai also travels district by district through Kerala, recalling legendary small eateries, wood-fired beef spots and traditional meals that shaped his palate and philosophy on food. He talks about safe food as a basic right, the urgent need for better hygiene from fish and meat stalls to restaurant kitchens, and how collective responsibility from consumers, hoteliers and government can prevent food poisoning tragedies.Beyond food, he shares his personal journey from security guard to celebrated chef, his life-changing moves from Kollam to Kozhikode, Bengaluru and London, and how hard work, sacrifice and a bit of “universal timing” built the brand Chef Pillai is today. The conversation closes on personal branding, the realities of running a restaurant business, and why genuine passion will always matter more than quick profits.

Are you feeling spiritually sluggish, "weighed down," or desensitized to the things of God? In Week 6 of our series, The Hygiene of My Heart, we diagnose a pathogen that our modern world often laughs off, but one that the Great Physician takes very seriously: Gluttony.Using the Greek concept of Hygies—meaning to be sound, healthy, and whole—Pastor Charlie Grimes explores how gluttony is far more than just a physical struggle with food. It is a spiritual "nutrient deficiency" where we use physical consumption—whether food, media, or shopping—to temporarily numb a hunger that only an eternal God can satisfy.In this message, you will discover:The False Satiety Trap: How nature shows us that it's possible to be "full" on the outside while literally starving on the inside.Eternity in the Heart: Why physical "shortcuts" can never fill a soul designed for infinite satisfaction (Ecclesiastes 3:11).The "Drowsiness" Diagnostic: Identifying the spiritual "brain fog" and "drowsiness" caused by over-consumption (Proverbs 23:21).The Information Diet: Practical ways to apply Philippians 4:8 to your daily digital and mental intake.The Cure:To fight this pathogen, we introduce Vitamin S (Self-Control)—the essential micronutrient that regulates our intake and keeps us from being mastered by our impulses. We conclude with the Sacrament of Communion, where we stop reaching for counterfeits and feast on the only true "Bread of Life" who satisfies the soul (John 6:35).Big Idea: Gluttony is a spiritual malnutrition that uses physical consumption to mask our true hunger for the Great Physician.Key Scriptures: Philippians 3:18–21; Proverbs 23:19–21; Ecclesiastes 3:11; John 6:35.#Faith #Sermon #CharlieGrimes #SpiritualHealth #HeartHygiene #Gluttony #SelfControl #Communion #ChristianLiving

What happens when healthcare supply chain teams stop trusting their own data? In this episode of Power Supply, Shireen Ahmad, Executive Partner at Midstream, joins us to explain why data hygiene remains one of the biggest challenges in healthcare supply chain, and why its impact reaches far beyond IT. From ERP migrations and broken contract relationships to pricing discrepancies that can cost hospitals thousands of dollars per procedure, Shireen shares real-world examples of how poor data quietly undermines operations, sourcing, and financial performance. She also explores the growing role of AI, master data management, and governance, arguing that data hygiene is ultimately a trust issue, not just a technology issue. If you've ever questioned the accuracy of your data, this episode offers a candid look at the challenges hiding behind the numbers.

In case you missed it, this is a replayed moment from last year and one of the most viewed podcast episodes I've ever shared specifically for hygienists. And honestly, this topic is more important than ever because efficient perio charting in Dentrix directly impacts diagnosis, patient care, insurance documentation, and clinical consistency.

Is your soul truly experiencing healthy circulation, or is there a "stealth pathogen" causing spiritual congestion?In this fifth message of our series, The Hygiene of My Heart, Charlie Grimes diagnoses the ancient root of greed through a modern medical lens. Using the Greek concept of hygieinos—meaning sound, healthy, and whole—we look at how greed mimics financial wisdom and security while secretly cutting off our spiritual immunity.In this episode, you will discover:How greed acts like a "clogged artery," blocking the life-giving flow of generosity through the soul, and creating isolation.The danger of the "Bigger Barn Syndrome" and what the story of the Rich Fool teaches us about security versus significance.How to use the "Diagnostic Rinse" of systematic giving and "Vitamin G for Generosity" to restore your heart's health.Practical illustrations (like the Dead Sea vs. the Sea of Galilee) to identify spiritual stagnation.Big Idea: Greed is a spiritual "clog" in the soul's arteries that mimics "financial wisdom" while cutting off the life-giving circulation of generosity.Key Scripture: Luke 12:13–21; 2 Corinthians 9:6–10

Basic cyber hygiene — patch management, password management, and MFA — is responsible for stopping roughly 90% of the ransomware attacks that could hit your organization. This episode is the overview: what those three things are, why they matter, and what happens when you skip them.WannaCry infected over 200,000 systems worldwide. A patch existed. People just hadn't applied it. Rackspace lost an entire business line — not because the attack was sophisticated, but because a workaround gave them false confidence and they delayed a critical patch. These aren't edge cases. They're the rule.Dr. Mike Saylor (Black Swan Cybersecurity) and Prasanna Malaiyandi join me to walk through the three pillars of basic cyber hygiene. We cover patch management first — and before you can even patch, you have to know what you have. Inventory is the starting point. Then we get into passwords: why reusing them is a numbers game the bad guys always win, and why a password manager isn't optional anymore. Finally, MFA — what it is, which forms are actually worth using, and why "remember this device" is quietly defeating the whole point.This is an overview episode. We're going deeper on each pillar in three follow-up episodes. But if you're not doing these three things today, stop reading this and go do them. There's no point talking about EDR, XDR, or any other three-letter security product if you haven't nailed the basics first. It's like researching a Roth IRA when you don't have a savings account.Chapters:0:00 Intro0:59 Welcome & Introductions4:20 WannaCry: The Patch That Would Have Saved 200,000 Systems7:33 Rackspace: When a Workaround Isn't Enough12:12 Defining Basic Cyber Hygiene14:53 Why These Three Things Stop 90% of Ransomware17:54 Pillar 1: Patch Management23:55 Pillar 2: Password Management31:55 Pillar 3: MFA & Passkeys37:34 Wrap-Up & What's Next

Why does hygiene feel “booked out” and still leave you scrambling to fill holes at the last minute? In this episode, Kirk Behrendt talks with ACT coach Ariel Siegel about why an underperforming hygiene schedule is almost always a systems problem—and how to fix it with two foundational levers: a strong reappointment/recare follow-up system and a calibrated periodontal protocol. You'll learn what breakdowns create reactive scheduling, what “getting it right” looks like in the numbers and in patient communication, and what your team can do today to start rebuilding predictability in hygiene. Listen to Episode 1051 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:A consistently full hygiene schedule depends on two core systems: strong reappointment/recare follow-up and a strong periodontal protocol.When systems are missing, teams become reactive and spend significant time scrambling to fill last-minute openings.Automated reminders are necessary, but they cannot replace a defined recare follow-up process that tracks and re-engages unscheduled patients.“Booked out” hygiene can still indicate a breakdown if the practice is constantly scrambling to fill tomorrow's holes.A strong hygiene reappointment process requires patients to leave with the next visit scheduled and a clear understanding of why they are returning.A calibrated perio protocol increases consistent diagnosis, patient understanding, and acceptance, which supports both hygiene stability and restorative scheduling.Building systems up front reduces future effort and prevents the ongoing “chasing patients” cycle that patients often resist.Snippets:01:55 The two systems that keep the hygiene schedule predictably full.03:50 What it looks like when hygiene scheduling is broken and the team becomes reactive.04:20 Why reminders can't be the whole recare system.05:40 “We're booked out months” but still scrambling—what that signals.07:10 What “getting it right” looks like: reappointment commitment and follow-up tracking.09:00 How calibrating a perio protocol changes perio percentages and 4000 codes.11:30 Stop chasing patients—capture commitment while they're in the practice.12:10 What your team can do today: find the gaps driving last-minute holes.12:40 The easiest short-term win: improve hygiene reappointment expectations.14:05 Why perio protocol calibration takes alignment, tools, and consistent messaging.16:10 Systems save hours: invest now instead of living in reactive mode.16:55 Where to find BPA resources for hygiene reappointment/recare follow-up and calibrated perio protocol.Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Ariel has a master's in healthcare administration and several years of dental experience in all aspects of the administrative roles within the dental office.

In this episode, Dr. K explores the science of flirting and romantic connection, revealing why most people find it so frustrating and inconsistent. He breaks down the psychological theory of play, the five distinct styles of flirting, and why maintaining plausible deniability is the most vital feature of any romantic interaction. What to expect in this episode: The Plausible Deniability Rule: Understanding why flirting is intentionally designed to be ambiguous to maintain social safety and avoid being perceived as "creepy". The Detection Gap: A look at research showing that humans are 84% accurate at sensing a lack of interest, but only correctly identify flirting 28% of the time. Five Styles of Flirting: A breakdown of the Traditional, Physical, Sincere, Playful, and Polite archetypes and how to identify which style you and your partner prefer. Hygiene vs. Genetics: Why scientific data suggests that bad hygiene and a "slimy" approach are far more significant deal breakers than having "poor looks". The Power of Awkwardness: Why showing embarrassment after a rejection is actually a positive empathic signal that proves you respect boundaries and care about the other person. Negativity Bias in Dating: How low self-esteem creates a filter that causes you to interpret 70% of ambiguous signals as negative, leading to a cycle of perceived failure. Neurodivergence and Ambiguity: Why those on the autism spectrum struggle with flirting due to its reliance on non-verbal "theory of mind" rather than rigid, logical rules. The Sequence of Flirting: A deep dive into how signaling availability often serves as the necessary first step before a successful approach can happen.

Dell's CTO built a 4-category agent framework from real production deployments. Most enterprises are ignoring two of the categories that matter most.Full Show NotesEnterprise leaders are mapping AI agents to org charts — building digital employees, agentic teams, AI workers — and then wondering why the results fall short. Dell's Global CTO John Roese has been running agents in production long enough to know exactly why that framing fails, and what to do instead.In this episode, Roese shares a framework Dell developed from actual production deployments, not pilots. It identifies four categories of AI agents defined by two dimensions: how much autonomy you grant the agent, and how complex the underlying process is. Most enterprises are focused on one category. Two of the four are widely overlooked — and they may represent the fastest path to measurable ROI.This is a practical, grounded conversation about where agents are actually delivering value today, how to think about infrastructure cost in the context of agent economics, and why the sequence in which you deploy agents matters as much as which agents you build. If your organization is trying to move from AI experimentation to production, this episode is required listening.3.

Title: Waking the Lazy Heart | The Hygiene of My Heart (Week 4)Are you feeling spiritually exhausted, or have you simply become spiritually stagnant? In Week 4 of our series, The Hygiene of My Heart, we diagnose a pathogen that often mimics "burnout" or "self-care" but is actually a dangerous spiritual brain fog: Sloth (Acedia). Using the Greek root hygies—meaning sound, healthy, and whole—we explore how laziness numbs the soul to the urgency of God's calling. We often fill our lives with "busy deceptions" like digital scrolling to act as a sedative for our hearts, masking the pain of stagnation so we don't feel our need for the Great Physician. In this video, you will discover:The "Acedia" Distinction: Why spiritual laziness is about a "don't care" attitude toward God, not just a lack of physical productivity. The Stagnant Swamp vs. The Living River: How to identify if your heart has lost its mission and become a breeding ground for inaction. The "Pilot Light" Principle: Why we need God to "shock" our hearts back into urgency and keep our spiritual fervor boiling. A Living Case Study: A tribute to the diligence of mothers, who see the "lion in the road" and find the zeal to move forward anyway. Big Idea: Laziness numbs the soul to the urgency of God's calling. Key Scripture: Romans 12:11; Proverbs 26:13 Daily Protocol:To fight this pathogen, we introduce Vitamin D (Diligence)—the divine energy that wakes up the soul. Try a "Small Win" exercise today: pick one spiritual discipline and do it immediately to create momentum.

Did you know there's actually a right and wrong time to implement key practice indicators (or KPIs) in your office? Tiff and Dana reveal what should be firmly in place in a practice before you start assigning metrics for success. They touch on KPIs position by position, staying human amid the numbers, and more. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:00) Hello Dental A Team listeners. I am so excited to be here with you today. You guys know that I love podcasting. You guys know that I love spending this time with you. And I love getting to spend the time with my consultant team as well. So I have Dana here with us today. Dana, how are you?   DAT-Dana (00:16) doing pretty good. I'm excited to be here. It's not that often that I get get dedicated podcast time with Tiff, so super excited.   The Dental A Team (00:22) I know,   I know it's because I schedule us long and we bust out a ton and then we don't see each other for a month on podcasting at least. So I agree, I agree. Well, Dina, it's springtime here. We like to call it springtime, which I think that Arizona just doesn't know when spring starts and ends because it goes straight into summer. So realistically, these drop in May, recording in April. I don't know when spring is, but it's hot. We've had a little bit of a cool down.   You've had a ton of sports and it's a beautiful time of year. How's everything down in your neck of the woods of Arizona going?   DAT-Dana (01:00) It's good. It is. It's beautiful. Now is the time where like you just love being in Arizona. I feel like, we don't really get a spring. It's kind of like a mismatch of random weather, like week by week. But now is the time where I truly love being in Arizona and get to be outside a ton. And, you know, if we could just get this wind to go away that's been hanging around down here for a couple of weeks, it would be perfect, really.   The Dental A Team (01:05) Yeah.   Yeah.   Yeah, my sister and I were talking about the wind yesterday. It really has been very strong, very strong. Yeah, especially where you are. You guys get whipped real bad with some wind. Yeah. Well, I'm excited that we're here today, that we're inside. It's supposed to warm up again. I think cool down. Who knows? It's going to rain. Maybe you might get rain. I probably won't. It's going to be great. It's going to be great.   DAT-Dana (01:35) Yeah.   Yeah.   The Dental A Team (01:48) I   wanted to chat today, something that keeps coming up for me on client calls, especially for new clients that come in. know that Nikki and Pam and Trish, you and I are pretty tapped out. So we're not getting a ton of new clients, but I know Nikki, Pam and Trish bring ⁓ oftentimes to our co-labs, really doctors looking for how to speak numbers and how to speak KPIs. We get it a lot. get people asking, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. That is our email address and we have people that   that pop in all the time on really how do we get our team to love doing KPIs and love watching them and kind of a leadership team standpoint, how do we do that? So I thought it would be interesting to chat a little bit today on the flip side of KPIs. And Dana, think we have an interesting perspective. Number one, we say this all the time that we, anything that we train, we try to duplicate in our own company. We try to create that space here. So we do a leadership.   a ton in our company. We train on leadership a ton. That's kind of like our year two process for clients coming in. We work a ton on systems year two, ⁓ or if systems aren't done yet, might be year three, but we really hone in on leadership a ton once practices get kind of the baseline groundwork done. So with that said, would say Dana, number one, I'd want to look at how far are we in our practice? Like, are we to the point now that we've   that KPIs, they matter or that they make sense, right? Because you've probably seen it and I've definitely implemented too early KPIs with Teams too. So finding that perfect timing and then obviously there's other aspects to it. But Dana, how do you feel about that? And what are you seeing with your clients you've worked with for many years, many of your clients? So when do you kind of see that KPI leadership standpoint roll in?   DAT-Dana (03:40) Yeah, I agree with you, Tim. do think it is like practices when you are building systems to like to add KPIs on top of that when it's like we don't even really know what we're doing to kind of get to these points. ⁓ I do feel like that's a little bit too early to kind of roll out KPIs. I think like when you have your systems in place, when you have job descriptions in place and when you really   feel like you have a team that kind of knows what they're doing and knows where the business is headed, I think that is the time to really start to implement KPIs.   The Dental A Team (04:11) I agree. And I think what that really boils down to and what you just described is the basics for so mission, vision, core values, job descriptions, and then looking at like the basic KPIs, even new practice KPIs, but getting a team to like love doing their own KPIs per position is that next step. So those practice KPIs, like you're saying, Dana, those are the ones that are going to tell us if the systems that we're doing are   benefiting the practice. Are they creating the results that we want? So production collections, new patients, maybe marketing RLI, but really narrowing it down and simplifying it so that they can start to see those to-dos, those things that they're doing every single day that are in line with their job description, they're adding value to those KPIs and then kind of taking a step back and layering it. I know when I look at KPIs and I look at our KPIs in our company, I really try to look at, what is like   What do they mean? How do they apply to my position and to your position or marketing's position? Does it make sense for that KPI to be attached to that person or that department? And then ultimately, what's the impact that it's making on the overall results, right? What is the company going for? And Dana, how do you help reverse engineer that? Because I watched you do that with a lot of practices. Dana's like,   Amazing. She's so good at pulling out meaningful, impactful KPIs per position. And I think your hygiene experience helps you to see those spaces because those back office ones are really the hardest. So how do you help practices reverse engineer that? How can they take a look at that today just from maybe from like an overarching big standpoint? And then we'll narrow in.   DAT-Dana (05:59) Yeah, sure. So I think it really comes down to just like you said, Tiff, making it meaningful, making them see that the things that they are doing every single day, we spent times building the system, we created these systems. So let us have an easy tool for you to know that if the input that you are giving every single day is getting you a certain result. And so I think that I love that you use the word meaningful because I feel like that we get asked all the time, like, how do I have   motivate my team to care about numbers? How do I, you have to make them meaningful for them, meaningful for their position, meaningful for their impact that they are putting into the practice and into patients. And so I think that that is, I think that's kind of where the magic happens. It's like, you've got these overarching goals. So then breaking them down into, let's say, quarterly goals. And then what can each team member do daily, weekly, monthly to help impact or move those quarterly pieces. So I think it is chunking it down, but, to the point where   team members feel like they actually, like the things that they're doing impact them. And I think when you can make those connections, we can say, hey, you've got to keep the schedule full. Well, what does full mean? Right? What do, what does full mean that like I am winning that day or I am hitting that goal or I am like being super impactful. And sometimes too, it's just relating it to.   Yes, these are numbers, but at end of the day, typically numbers equal patients, right? Typically numbers equal impact into the community. Typically, like it means how much we're improving the overall oral health of the patients that leave the practice. And sometimes when you can tie that like, yes, you filling the schedule equals that or yes, you hitting your period goal equals comprehensive care.   When you can link those things with team members, that's how you motivate them. That's how you make these numbers meaningful to just say, hey, I need you to hit 95 % of schedule to goal, right? Well, yeah, that's a number, but what does it mean for that person? What is the impact it does for the practice when they hit it? And like taking time too to celebrate it when we see it.   The Dental A Team (08:02) Yeah. And something that that changes for us, Dana, that dentistry has always in my opinion been like a just do it because we said to do it, right? You build the same way we've built since 1995 because that's how we do it. Right. And we've not, we're super innovative when it comes to photos and CBCT scans and tech and all of these cool things that the back office is using. So doctors and dental assistants are like, heck yeah, this is so cool. Dentistry moves so fast. But then the rest of the team is like,   Does it? Like I'm still doing, I'm still scanning papers. Yeah. Like what the heck? It's not, it doesn't innovate in the other areas. I think now with AI, we're seeing a lot of innovation and I think a lot of front office team members are probably like, Whoa, I'm not okay with this because that's never been dentistry from the front office standpoint. So my point in that is when we have a KPI and when you were speaking, I'm thinking like make five calls a day, make 10 calls a day. Why?   DAT-Dana (08:34) Still confirming.   The Dental A Team (09:02) Why am I making 10 calls a day? Because my ultimate goal is that the schedule is full to 95%. So then tracking a KPI of how many calls am I making? So what's the impact that I'm making towards that goal? And then I think, Dana, what you made me think of is really being able to take a step back and saying, is that thing that I'm doing impacting the goal? Because I don't want to just make 10 calls because you told me to make 10 calls. I want to make 10 calls because it's   positively impacting my overarching goal of 95 % scheduleful and that's positively impacting the impact we're having on the community. And so when it rolls up that way and it doesn't feel like they just like do this because I told you to do it, I don't think we work that way anymore. I think in the 90s, 2000s, we did. When I first got into the workforce, I was like, just tell me what to do. I'll just do whatever you, just give me a list, I'll check it off.   But I think as we evolved as humans, as dentistry is evolving, and now as there's more innovation coming to all aspects of dentistry, we're in a space now where we really have to know, why am I doing this thing? What is it for? Because I don't want to work for nothing as in money. I don't want to work for nothing. I don't want to do this if it's not helpful. I want to change it and do something different. And I think, Dana, in my opinion,   you know, the practices that I'm seeing in the forums that I'm seeing, I think there's a big wave of that mindset that really wants to know the impact.   DAT-Dana (10:28) I agree with you. think that like technology is great, but I think some a side effect of technology is it's made us a little bit skeptical, right? So we ask more questions than we have before. think that we do, we want to know why we want to know like all those background pieces. And I think too, like, I will say, I think it's still a side effect from COVID is like we value time. And so I don't, feel like as a society, we don't want to be wasting time. We want to try to get our time back. And so   The Dental A Team (10:36) Yeah.   DAT-Dana (10:56) If I have to spend time making five calls and it's not making an impact or I don't have that link on like why I'm making them and then it's pushing to the goal of my 95 % and that is incorporated into the practice goal, right? I want to know those answers because I don't want to waste time making calls just because you said I agree with you.   The Dental A Team (11:14) Yeah, and we want to feel valuable. So we want to feel like we're valuable in our position. And we want to feel like the things that we're doing are daily, whatever, monthly, weekly, all of those things that we're doing are valuable. Because I also think to your point, Dana, COVID taught us too that like, this is going to sound maybe so controversial. We are not like we don't have to stay stuck anymore. It opened up a whole new world.   I think for a lot of people who felt like they fell into dentistry and that like, this is just their path. This is where they need to be. This is the position they'll always hold. There's nowhere to go. You know, it changed a lot has changed in the last six years that we're still trying to understand. And on that, one of my least favorite questions is how do I motivate my team? And you don't motivate your team. inspire your team.   DAT-Dana (12:05) Thank   The Dental A Team (12:09) by being who you are, your culture, your mission, your vision, like what are we serving? What are we doing here? Inspires people. Motivation is very short. So yeah, like I always say, Dana, I can motivate you. I could probably convince you and motivate you to go for a mile run with me. Does that mean you're gonna be a runner? No. You're gonna do a mile with me because I motivated you to, I motivated my sister to go for a hike with me yesterday, right? Is she gonna go hiking again today? No. Would I? Absolutely.   Cause I'm inspired by how I feel when I'm on the mountain. So that like difference really, it gets me that, that question of motivate and it always Dana, I hate the word always, but I swear to you every time, I don't know if this is just me. They're like, if I give my team these KPIs and I ask them to measure these things and do them, I need to pay them more. And I'm like, they're like, how else do I motivate them? If I get, if I dangle this carrot at the end.   maybe they'll do these things. And I'm like, well, is that not their, like, is their job not this piece? Are you not already paying them for this? We're just not tracking it. So they could be doing 50 things that don't matter, that aren't making an impact. And we may be able to measure and replace them with things that do matter. I'm not necessarily asking for extra work aside from the tracking that takes 30 seconds, but that motivation space.   Like I want to sub box all day, but Dana, are you seeing that too? And how do you feel about that question?   DAT-Dana (13:40) Yeah, absolutely. guess I probably get asked that question at least once a week, right? And I do agree with you. It is, well, what can I do to motivate them as far as bonus, as far as activity, as far as, and like those things are essentially great, right? If there's a space for it. But I don't think that those are tools that are ever really needed to me. If you are feeling that way.   The Dental A Team (13:45) Yep.   DAT-Dana (14:02) Your goals themselves aren't inspiring. Your vision itself isn't inspiring because those should be the inspiring pieces that spur the motivation to do the daily work. And so if you are asking someone in your life that question, if you are asking yourself that question, if you are flat out asking the team, what can I do to motivate you to get there? The there is not inspiring them. And it's probably not inspiring you, which is why you're digging for the next layer or this bonus or this   push of some way because those foundational pieces aren't truly inspiring the team or you yourself.   The Dental A Team (14:39) I was thinking that same thing. If you're not inspired by the work that you're doing, you're not inspired by your vision or why your team's not going to be inspired either. And we've honestly lived that, Dana. We've lived that in this company where we were like, it just doesn't hit and it didn't hit Kiera. And we could tell and Kiera was like robotic because we were trying to hit a goal. So we all became robotic trying to hit a goal and it didn't hit right.   we failed and we had to take like 15 steps backwards and say, why did we fail? Where did we misstep? And it was because our why what we were really going for wasn't inspiring enough. it was like, honestly, even this year's vision is narrowed down to one of the best that we've had in years because it's narrowed down to the impact on a personal basis. And that's what consultants love.   dental team members love, right? Our favorite stories are the patients who came in after traumatic experience or cosmetic work or whitening, or they had a crown that they were afraid to get or fillings that those are first fillings and they're 42 and they're not scared anymore and they're coming in and they're so happy. Their whole demeanor changes because we've been able to change how they view dentistry. That's what we're here for. And when people dig for that, why? And I hear the, I hear the, ⁓   I want to, what is it, delivering smiles, delivering smiles to Maricopa County. Like, are you, is that why you're here? You want to deliver smiles? No, you want to change lives by giving them a different perspective on dentistry. You want to teach them something about dentistry that they never knew existed. You want to make them feel confident because they have a healthy place to go. They have somewhere that they know they're loved, taken care of, seen and heard, and they're getting quality dental care. Like, that's what you're here for.   DAT-Dana (16:29) Yeah, and in the end, are   you creating smiles for Maricopa County? Yes, you are, but like that's not why you show up every day. Yeah.   The Dental A Team (16:34) Yes!   Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.   And when people can key in on that, I literally see that light bulb moment of like, wow, that's exciting. Like I want to go do that crown. Yeah, you do. You do. Because it's more you're not delivering smiles to everyone. Right? It's an impossible feat. Like you're not going to create a new smile for everyone who walks through the door. You're not. Some people don't care about their teeth. And that's okay. Like how they look right aesthetics. Some people   don't need you to aesthetically change their teeth. Some people are coming in with straight teeth, white teeth, already veneered teeth, and you're not doing anything. But what you are doing is you're creating an experience and you're creating a space that they can come feel seen, valued, and heard and leave knowing that they were well cared for and they're a happier human when they leave your practice.   DAT-Dana (17:28) Yeah, I love   that. Because when they can, maybe eventually they will care, right? And you'll be the person that they come to when they do. Or maybe eventually the cosmetic work they already had will need redone and you've created that space that they can say it. And so I agree with you. It doesn't happen every single time, but we're looking for the times that it does and we're making those times incredibly meaningful.   The Dental A Team (17:33) Yeah.   tracks.   Yes, and when we can carry ourselves in a way that no matter what we are looking for, how can we positively impact this patient's experience? How can we make them a better person out to the world when they leave my practice? Like I want to inspire them. I want to make them happy. They leave feeling energized. They carry that on to the next person, right? So when we can make that's our focus that we're positively impacting the person who's standing in front of us, then we're showing up every single time. And our KPIs are like,   Hey, did you make 10 calls to make sure that people get back into this practice for their re-care so that they're well cared for and they don't feel like they have to find another practice that they start all over again? Absolutely, I made 10 calls. And when you get the question of, do I have to call? Can I just text? I don't care what you do, measure it. And if whatever you're doing works, we'll keep doing that. So if you're doing text messages and they're not working, try sprinkling in some calls.   see if the calls work too or double them up. I always say that because I think Dana, we get so rigid on what the system needs to be that we're like, no, Tiff and Dana, they said you need to do 10 calls a day. If that's your only takeaway from today, oh my gosh, right? They go, they're like, 10 calls a day, that's your KPI. And the team, maybe it's, you know, a 23 year old who is like, I don't want to get on, I don't want to get on the phone, I'm 41, I don't want to get on the phone. So like, I want to know that if I'm doing these 10 calls a day,   They are what is going to work. And if they're not, because we're in an age of tech and maybe voice small drops work better or text messages are working better, I want to do that. But it's going to be based on your community and not the person making the outreach. Because here in Phoenix, we got a lot of snowbirds. We got a lot of retirement communities. We've got a lot of people who, heck, like I don't want to, I don't want to do anything with my phone by the time I'm done with the day.   So I think measuring it and making sure those pieces add up to that value that you're trying to perceive to your patients.   DAT-Dana (19:56) Yeah. And I think sometimes there's a misconception with team members in this TIF that like the number tells them something about them, right? And sometimes it can, but for the most part, what it tells us is if our system works or doesn't work. And so I think team members too, just being embracing and open to the fact that this is not necessarily, if you don't hit 95 % scheduled to goal, that doesn't mean you as a human aren't succeeding. It means that there's something in our system or something in our consistency that isn't getting us   The Dental A Team (20:04) Yeah.   DAT-Dana (20:25) there and so I think you can have open and honest conversations with team members too and say like this isn't a value for you as a human. This is a value for the effort, the work and the systems that we've put into place because you're right Tim, if I can get one person scheduled with 40 text messages or one person scheduled with three calls, my gosh, give me the three calls.   Right? So it is being able to evaluate and assess those things too. And I think so many times when we go to roll out KPIs offices get a lot of resistance because it's like, I don't want you to put like a number on me, right? Or I don't want it to feel like it is me, the person that is letting the office down or we're not getting the goals. I think think of it as a tool to evaluate our systems. Yes, our people too, but honestly and truly typically it's a systems problem and not a person.   The Dental A Team (21:15) I 100 % agree. And I think that's where we start measuring the results instead of micromanaging the people. Yeah, I love that. You made me think too, Dana, that if you're not able to get to 10 calls a day or whatever your KPI is, if you can't get to them and you see the consistency is that you're falling behind, you're not able to do it, then take a step back and evaluate your time spent. Like what are the blockers that are coming up? Does this belong to that job description? So is it in the right lane?   Does it impact that person's goals that impact the companies? then like take those steps back. There have been so many times that I'm like, gosh, I just haven't been able to get to this. But next week, let me rearrange my schedule. I'm going to try a couple of things out to get it different so that I can try to get these done. And if it's consistently not happening, there's a blocker. There's something else going on. And it's not just that they're busy. I had this conversation a couple of weeks ago with someone. I'm like, there's no time. They're like, I see time. I'm like, okay, you know what? There is time.   There's no space left. So how do we get rid of some of the other clutter and rearrange to declutter my brain so that I still have output left for this piece of my job? And those conversations are really important. And your leaders, your one up above you should be able to help you unblock those. So Dana, I love this conversation. Thank you for having it. I think motivate versus inspire.   is really, really special. And when they're meaningful, impactful results, it makes a huge difference. So Dana, I would say action items for today. Number one, is your vision, your mission, your core values, are those things inspiring to you as a practice owner? And are they inspiring to your team? Do they fully know the definitions of them? And are we ready to make an impact on that community? Number two, assign some KPIs. If you've got that solid, you've got job description solid, you're working on some systems maybe, but   lot of systems are super clean and clear, then start doing individual KPIs. And Dana, I would say if they're not ready for individual KPIs, take that big, the umbrella, do your production, collections, new patients, and let them see how they're impacting every day. Dana, anything you want to add before we wrap for today?   DAT-Dana (23:31) No, I think you hit it out. This was a good one too.   The Dental A Team (23:33) Awesome.   I agree. Thank you. Thank you for riffing with me and busting this out Dana and you guys go leave us a five star review. We love to hear from you.

The hygienist shortage isn't actually a hygienist shortage. Something broke when consultants walked in with a spreadsheet and turned the most trust-rich role in your practice into a quota. In this episode, Dr. Dave unpacks why your hygienist isn't a producer. She runs the decision center where your entire practice either compounds or stalls. You'll learn why six figures a year are quietly leaking out the front door, why temping is actually an ethical exit, and what the practices growing double digits are measuring instead.If your hygienists are walking, your patients are hesitating, or the room just feels a little transactional, this episode names what's actually happening. Hit play and stop running your decision center like a production line.

$150 Walmart Bug Out Episode Description In this episode, we run a real-world budget prepper gear challenge: you're caught off guard, your regular kits are incomplete or out of reach, and you've got one final Walmart stop before heading 75 miles to a family cabin. The mission is simple: build the best 72-hour bug-out loadout possible with a strict $150 cash budget. We break down the key categories that matter most, from water and food to power, shelter, lighting, hygiene, tools, security, and communications. Episode Breakdown

Your tween won't shower, won't change their clothes, or lies about having brushed their teeth or washed their face...Sound familiar? If you're in the middle of a hygiene battle with your tween or young teen, you're not alone, and you're not failing as a parent. This is one of the most common (and confusing) challenges of early adolescence, especially when basic resistance starts to take the form of sneaking or lying. In this episode, clinical psychologist and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Lisa Damour and journalist Reena Ninan unpack what's really driving your tween's hygiene resistance, why the lying is probably not what you think it is, and what you can actually do to move things in the right direction without constant conflict.

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Dr. Addison Killeen and Ryan Gross to unpack what practice owners can do when hygiene is full, staffing is tight, and growth starts to stall. They explore how to shift marketing toward higher-value patients such as emergency, implant, sedation, and full-mouth reconstruction cases, while creating systems that keep doctor production strong even when hygiene becomes the bottleneck.   The conversation also highlights insights from Addison's new Complete Dental Hygiene Manual, including practical ways to optimize hygiene operations, navigate staffing shortages, and rethink growth strategy in today's dental economy.
