Microbats are tiny natural predators with a big appetite for insects, but the uniform structure of a vineyard can keep them from venturing far into the block. Matt Fowles, Owner and CEO of Fowles Wine, noticed that vineyard blocks near trees had less moth pressure than those bordered by open grassland. He shares how that observation inspired a system of vertical structures designed to give microbats echolocation points and encourage them to move deeper into the vineyard. Early trials show increased bat activity and promising potential for natural pest control in vineyards.  Resources:   272: 30 Gophers a Night: Why Barn Owls Belong in Your Vineyard 306: Using Barn Owls for Gopher and Rodent Control in Vineyards Bat Navs: A project by Fowles – Series Trailer  Fowles Wine Activates $500K Grant to Go Into Bat for Aussie Viticulture, Safeguarding Against Costly Pests Matt Fowles - Fowles Wines - a cool-climate wine producer Microbats (little bats)  Microbat | Wikipedia The bats safeguarding against pests in vineyards What are 5 species of microbats?  Support the Podcast:  Make a Donation  Vineyard Team Programs:  Juan Nevarez Memorial Scholarship - Help students from vineyard families pursue higher education Online Courses - Earn DPR and CCA hours with expert-led sustainability trainings SIP Certified - A trusted third-party certification proving your sustainable practices with science-backed standards Sustainable Ag Expo - Join top experts at the premier winegrowing event of the year Vineyard Team Membership - Connect with a community advancing sustainable winegrowing 

Key TakeawaysStart planning for your loan maturity 18 months out. That gives you enough time to evaluate your options, negotiate with lenders, and strengthen the property before you're under pressure.Your loan term is not your amortization. A commercial loan might amortize over 20–25 years but still balloon after five years, leaving a significant balance to refinance.DSCR is one of the most important numbers in a refinance. Your payment history helps, but the property still needs enough NOI to support the new debt at today's rates.Higher interest rates can completely change the refinance. Even if your loan balance has decreased, a higher rate can significantly increase debt service and create an NOI gap.Refinancing shouldn't be your only option. Run multiple strategies in parallel: competing lenders, bringing in partner capital, recapitalizing, extending or modifying the existing loan, or potentially selling all or part of the property.You can actively improve your refinance position. Increasing rents, filling vacancies, signing leases, and reducing operating expenses can increase NOI and help the property meet the lender's requirements.Work backward from maturity. Review your loan documents 24 months out, model the refinance and NOI gap at 18 months, improve operations and contact lenders around 12 months, choose your path by six months, and aim to be executing—not deciding—by 90 days out.

Reflecting on the nature of relationships.

Poll after poll shows that the world increasingly prefers China over the United States. So why are people in so many countries, especially the youth, "Chinamaxxing"? Ben Norton explains how China has developed a new political, economic, and technological model; promoted a non-interventionist foreign policy, which supports the sovereignty of the Global South; and built a socialist market economy, which offers an alternative to the neoliberal capitalism imposed by the West.

HEADLINES: Four men have been interviewed by Victoria Police detectives this week as part of investigations into the sexual assault allegations linked to the Sydney Swans AFL club. Police are investigating after a man was shot dead in Sydney’s west in what detectives believe was a targeted daylight attack. Consent advocate Chanel Contos has told National Press Club that big tech is radicalising young men into harmful sexual behaviour, and is pushing for a ban on social media algorithms. The world is on track to exceed 1.5 degrees of global warming within years, according to a new UN report. So it turns out we’ve all been drinking water wrong. And good news for animal lovers about the New Zealand kākāpō. New research suggests the real damage in contact sports might not be happening on game day, but during training, and it's raising urgent questions for anyone with a kid on a footy field this weekend. On this episode of The Quicky, we look at the degenerative brain disease increasingly turning up in Australian football codes, from AFL and AFLW to soccer, and why doctors believe the cumulative hits from years of junior sport could matter more than any single big hit. We hear from leading neurologist Dr Rowena Mobbs on what parents and clubs can actually do about it, and why the answer isn't pulling your kid off the field.Important concussion advice from Dr Rowena Mobbs, neurologist at Mater Hospital Sydney: - Keep brain health front of mind.- Carefully observe the athlete if a concussion is suspected and follow the protocols.- Know the red flags that may indicate a more serious brain injury: Neck pain - Increasing confusion, agitation or irritability - Repeated vomiting - Seizure or convulsion - Weakness or tingling/burning in the arms or legs - Deteriorating conscious state - Severe or increasing headache - Unusual behavioural change - Loss of vision or double vision - Visible deformity of the skull - Loss of consciousness. - If you see these signs, seek emergency care."

Ava kicks off a two-part series on parenthood and motherhood, drawing on the Functional Spirituality framework to argue that the modern parenting struggle is an environmental failure, not a personal one. Our nervous systems and culture are imbalanced toward Yang (survival, speed, individualism) over Yin (safety, collaboration, community), and that imbalance has isolated motherhood into an overburdened, under-resourced role. She names this as the "best case scenario" — before factoring in trauma, disability, or loss. Part two covers how to navigate it.   Chapter markers 00:00 Welcome + introducing today's topic: parenthood and motherhood 02:16 Ava's unique position — breadwinner, not the "archetype" mother 05:47 The root cause: nature, survival, and the Yang-imbalanced culture 08:44 The Yin-Yang nervous system framework explained 11:22 Individualism vs. community — how it reshaped the family unit 14:44 The invisible labor and skill set nobody teaches parents 18:31 The best-case scenario vs. real added-on challenges 21:01 Closing thoughts & what's coming in part two   Increasing accessibility to functional healing + non-dual spiritual oneness: www.functionalspirituality.com   Free resources: Newsletter sign-up A monthly update for me on new offers and the energy of the month.   Free training - 3 part method of Functional Spirituality Learn the clear, practical framework for deep healing, emotional regulation, and spiritual integration.   Connect on Socials Where you can hear from us in daily life Personal account & Functional Spirituality: @functionalspirituality Studio: @spandaschool Lavandula Botanicals: @lavandula.botanicals

Native American ranchers and beef producers are among those pushing back against President Donald Trump's initiative to import cheap foreign beef to lower consumer prices. Critics of the plan say it will do little reduce prices and undercuts producers in this country who are already facing major industry headwinds including drought, unpredictable policies, and high operating costs. The American cattle herd numbers are slowly recovering after reaching a historic low. We'll hear from industry experts about what would truly help them and consumers alike. Beef producers aren’t the only agriculture industry having trouble getting traction. Staffing cuts at the U.S. Department of Agriculture are blamed for complications and delays in how existing and prospective producers get basic federal support in the form of low-interest loans, grants, and technical assistance that was once widely available. We'll talk with one Native farmer who was forced to bypass USDA support after years of delay. GUESTS Marjorie Lantana (Navajo), northwest vice president of the New Mexico Cattle Growers' Association Alexandra Carlisle (Navajo), assistant agent at the University of Arizona tribal extension program Zachariah Ben (Diné), owner and co-founder of Bidii Baby Foods Tom Paterson, president of the New Mexico Cattle Growers' Association

#1060 What if the key to growing a product business isn't doing more yourself — but building it so you barely have to touch the product at all? In Part 2 of this two-part episode, host Britlyn Williams continues her conversation with Eli Mash, founder of Makor Coffee, to break down the systems and strategies that have allowed him to grow the brand alongside a full-time career. Eli shares how he found manufacturing partners, used smaller distributors and in-store demos to break into retail, and outsourced production, fulfillment, advertising, and social media so he can focus primarily on operations, finance, and growth. He also explains why knowing your margins is critical in a physical product business, how bundles and a $60 free-shipping threshold increased average order value by roughly 15%, and why repeat customers can make the difference between burning cash and building a sustainable company. Plus, Eli opens up about influencer marketing, Amazon, handling negative feedback, and the mindset that helps him keep going through the inevitable ups and downs of entrepreneurship — including his advice to anyone with a business idea: take one small step every day! What we discuss with Eli: + Sourcing organic ingredients + Finding manufacturing partners + Breaking into retail stores + Using distributors to scale + Increasing average order value + Bundles and free shipping + Outsourcing to third parties + Influencer marketing lessons + Knowing your margins + Building one step at a time Thank you, Eli!

What happens when you put a climate impact label on beef in the supermarket? In this episode, we talk with Dr. Maiken Maier, a political scientist and environmental behavior researcher who studies how climate and food policies influence human behavior, social norms, and public opinion.We dive into her paper, “Increasing the Uptake of Plant-Based Diets: An Analysis of the Impact of a CO₂ Food Label,” and its fascinating findings about the relationship between individual behavior and systems change.Dr. Maier explains why seemingly modest interventions — like carbon labels, choice architecture, and behavioral design — may be far more powerful than they first appear, particularly when they begin changing what people see as normal, desirable, and politically possible.LINKS

In Part Two of our decoding of Mel Robbins, things take a practical turn. But before we get to preoccupied with all that, why don't you pause, take a breath, and, in the context of your body, write down ten ways to make a bad situation worse. Your focus should then be on doing the exact opposite! For example, if one of your answers is to not listen to the podcast, then start listening, right now!Next, before hitting play, let's work on building a daily manifestation practice. Write down five things you want, then sit in your body, picture yourself doing all the annoying steps, and flood yourself with the feelings of future success. This needs to happen every day.One more thing: now imagine someone who is one million per cent behind you and ask them what is the best way for you to consume the podcast. They can be alive, dead, or fictional. Greek messenger Gods are permitted. You can even imagine your mother, if you like, but better. Alternatively, why not meet your future self at the front door and ask how listening to the podcast helped them to become so wise, slim, and successful?There are other options too. You can manifest a legion of ancestors, reconfigure a difficult afternoon by getting sushi, and even transcend the limits of possibility with an elephant murder themed visualization!You might think this sounds a bit like (too much) planning, mental rehearsal, and just trying to be a bit more positive. But it's much more than that. These mental activities are actually powered by very hard science. Ignore the tiny samples, one-tailed tests, and suspicious p-values... that all sounds like negative thinking.And now you are finally prepared so choose your technique, release the brake, and visualise the download button. Your future self is waiting. They have a cool scar and some bad news about your future children.LinksThe Mel Robbins Podcast: “World Leading Psychologist: How to Manifest Anything & Create the Life You Want” with Dr Cassandra VietenCassandra Vieten: Imagine That: Transform How You Think, Feel, and Live with the Science of ImaginationInstitute of Noetic Sciences: Origins StoryHershfield, H.

We still have a few months left in the year, but it feels like the story of the year here in Utah will be data centers. And we're not alone; the pushback on data centers exists nationwide and across party lines. In fact, the Republican opposition to data centers continues to grow pretty quickly, and it's putting President Trump in a precarious situation.

This episode explores two emerging ways AI is starting to double the amount of drama happening on teams. The challenge is that those who may be lower in accountability can add more drama to your culture through careless AI use, sending along unprocessed "AI slop" that shifts the burden of thinking and cleanup onto whoever receives it. Meanwhile, your high accountables may be exponentially increasing that same drama by turning judgmental toward colleagues who are still finding their footing with the tool, sometimes writing off genuinely strong work simply because it looks AI-generated. This episode names the emerging problem on both sides and discusses practical ways to bridge that gap, refocus on self-reflection and personal accountability, and bring teams back together instead of splitting into judgment and defensiveness. Episode Highlights: 00:01:41 – Alex introduces the two ways AI use is increasing drama on teams 00:03:26 – The defining characteristics of AI slop: illusion of progress, shifted burden, receiver disengagement 00:05:01 – How a high accountable mindset processes receiving AI-generated work 00:07:18 – The break in trust that happens when unprocessed AI work lands on someone's desk 00:08:00 – Why self-reflection tools work through visual processing instead of verbal venting 00:11:12 – How AI accelerates the pattern of intellectualizing instead of truly reflecting 00:12:56 – Alex's idea for building self-reflection prompts into AI tools themselves 00:14:07 – The second source of drama: high performers judging others' AI use 00:16:03 – Applying "stop judging, start helping" to AI-era team dynamics 00:18:03 – A real example of a colleague wrongly assuming a photo was AI-generated 00:19:49 – Alex previews his upcoming book, Checkmate to Drama Link to pre-order Alex's book, How We Could: The Framework to Lead Without Drama, Build Alignment and Call Teams to Greatness for you and your teams: https://www.realitybasedleadership.com/pre-order

A New Chapter for Sales & Cigars Sales & Cigars is changing. In this behind-the-scenes episode, Walter Crosby sits down with producer Mark Labriola II to talk about the next chapter of the podcast—and why it was time to make a shift. After years of remote conversations, the show is moving toward a more immersive, in-person format with stronger production, longer conversations, and a much bigger emphasis on cigars. But the core of the show isn't changing. Sales, entrepreneurship, leadership, and the real experiences behind building a business will still drive the conversation. The difference is that those topics will now come through more naturally—over cigars, face-to-face, in environments designed for deeper and more interesting conversations. Walter and Mark talk candidly about Zoom fatigue, storytelling, production value, building authority through podcasting, and why the best conversations often happen when you stop trying to force the "perfect" interview. Consider this your preview of what's coming next.   Episode Highlights Why Sales & Cigars is changing its format Moving away from primarily remote interviews toward in-person conversations Why listeners are experiencing Zoom and remote-video fatigue Bringing cigars further to the forefront of the show Creating more natural conversations around sales and entrepreneurship Why face-to-face conversations create different energy Increasing the production quality of the podcast Moving toward longer-form conversations driven by chemistry rather than a rigid clock The role podcasting can play in building authority and thought leadership Creating more short-form content between full episodes Taking Sales & Cigars into cigar lounges and potentially other cities What listeners can expect from the upcoming season   What's Changing More cigars. Cigars will become a bigger part of the conversation—not simply as branding, but as a way to learn about guests, their stories, and the experiences that connect people around them. More in-person conversations. Instead of another remote video call, Walter will increasingly sit across from guests and let conversations unfold naturally. Better production. The new episodes will feature stronger visuals, better sound, and environments that better reflect the personality of Sales & Cigars. Longer conversations. Rather than forcing every episode into the same structure, conversations will go as long as the chemistry and subject matter warrant. The same business value. Sales, leadership, entrepreneurship, and growth remain at the heart of the show. The goal is simply to uncover those lessons through more organic conversations.   Why the Change? Remote podcasting made conversations possible during a period when nearly everything moved online. But today, many people spend their entire workday moving from one virtual meeting to another. Another split-screen interview can easily become something to scroll past. The new Sales & Cigars aims to create something different: the feeling that you're sitting in the room while two people have a conversation you actually want to hear. The objective is still to educate—but also to entertain, tell better stories, and create the kinds of conversations that lead to unexpected ideas.   Who Should Listen This episode is especially valuable for: Longtime Sales & Cigars listeners wondering what's next Entrepreneurs who enjoy candid conversations about business Sales professionals looking for practical ideas without another scripted interview Cigar enthusiasts interested in the stories behind what people smoke and why Business owners using content to build authority and grow their brand Anyone interested in the behind-the-scenes evolution of a podcast   Want to Be Part of the New Format?

Artificial harmony is what happens when teams work alongside each other day in and day out, but never actually talk about what needs to be said. Kiera and Dana walk listeners through why getting to the root of problems in a practice is so critical — from not just a teamwork point of view, but for the business itself — as well as where to start to turn your practice into a place where honesty and trust happens regularly. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera and today's a lucky day. I have the one and only Dana on the podcast with me. I love this. Dana, you happen to fit right in my podcasting schedule at the perfect time. So I'm getting more Dana time. You guys are getting more Dana time. Dana, how are you? Welcome to the podcast.   Dana (00:16) excited to be here. I know it's rare. Like it's rare anymore that I get a ton of podcasting time, but especially podcasting time   Kiera (00:22) Okay.   Dana (00:23) with you. So I was super excited when Marisa confirmed it on my schedule. So   Kiera (00:27) I was   too. I was because Marisa has them in like I like to start early and I like to just run. And so Dana tends to have a break between coaching calls that I'm able to like slip a podcast in. So always excited and I agree. Like Dana, we've had a we've had some good ones. And I wanted to get you on the podcast today because I feel like you've been doing some awesome things with teams. I feel like there's been this new wave of Dana going into offices because I think as a consultant, our job is to reinvent ourselves over and over and over.   Like who Dana was when she first started versus who Dana is today. Like that is a complete evolution. Who Kiera was, who offices are, like there's an evolution of that. And I think that this is the even the new evolution of team. I think the teams are shifting. I think that there's a new emergence from like even when I started the company to when you started to when we are here today. and I think you've just been doing some awesome things. So let's dive into like what are some of the fun things that we're doing for teams? What are some of the ways that you've been able to turn teams around and get to maybe like, cause I feel like a lot of people struggle with   artificial harmony is probably the best way to say it where teams are working day in and day out where they're not saying what needs to be said. And then I feel like Dana, when you and I get on calls or we show up in offices, instantly like the floodgates are open and we just get a dumping. And it's like, okay, well, clearly there's a lot you want to say, but how do we get that to be the norm in the practice rather than the abnormal? So Dana, take it away. Like, let's talk about some of the offices you've been working with, how you've been able to like   Crack that nut and get more to the root cause of problems and get teams to really gel and jive with each other better than I think we ever have.   Dana (01:55) Yeah, this is a really exciting topic because I think it comes up in like a variable of different ways in like, okay, people want to have stronger leadership, right? They want more accountability for their team. They want a cohesive team or a culture that people love and are super excited to show up to every day. And it's funny because we might not think that this kind of all ties in together, but I've been talking so much to teams about just.   Saying the things that need to be said, communicating with each other, solving like root problems versus just   like you said, that artificial harmony.   Kiera (02:34) Yeah.   Dana (02:35) and I was just talking to an office actually this morning and and they're kind of creating their quarterly meeting agenda. And they're like, well, what do we do? And you know, we feel like the same people participate and the same issues kind of get brought up. And like we never kind of get beyond like that surface level. And so we kind of talked about how just having open, honest conversation about that and really building an and   Increasing team, I feel like it all kind of very like boils down to like team trust and like communicating and saying all the things that need to be said. And I said, could you have a great like if you don't address this, could you have a decent meeting, right? Where you come up with good goals, you come up with good action items, you walk away feeling pretty good. Yeah. But when you don't have that trust and vulnerability, and when you don't open and have that communication, are your meetings great?   Probably not. Do we solve the things that need to be solved? Probably not. Do we solve them forever, right? And we're all on the same page and we're super committed and then we're able to hold each other accountable? Probably not. And so I've been working a lot with a ton of teams, with leadership teams, even with owners on. We have to be able to say the things that need to be said to be able to truly.   Be committed together and truly set goals that are going to move your practice, move your team in the right direction the most.   Kiera (04:04) Mm-hmm. And Dana, I love that you brought that up because I think, gosh, I'm like gonna like date myself and go back to like when Tiff and I first met. And I grew up in a family where artificial harmony was like status quo. Like I feel like there's a a pendulum and you either are like artificial harmony or you're like kind of like mean spirited and like a little cutthroat. Like kind of is the that pendulum swing.   And I grew up very much artificial harmony, right? Like we had like my siblings, we'd all run to my mom rather than like having a knockout drag out with each other. And as we've evolved when I met Tiff, she was very much an anti like no cure. We're just like gonna go to the root cause of this, we're gonna hash it out. And I it was very foreign and uncomfortable for me. But getting a taste of it, I was like, wow, that was so much more efficient. And that was so much easier. And I feel like I can know what's going on with Tiffanie now.   I feel like I'm not sitting here, and especially with us being in a virtual team, it was my first time running a virtual team. And I was like, whoa, like I really need to know what's going on rather than what I think. Like, there's no vibe check. Like, Dana, you and I don't get a vibe check with each other often. It's like, hello, maybe there's a little like snide slack comment that goes through, and you're like, okay, like let's check it. But that's all you get. You don't really get that vibe check. And once I feel like you you cross the bridge into trust and vulnerability, saying what needs to be said.   You can't go back. Like you are so, I don't think annoy's the right word, but you're just like, wow, there's like such a more efficient way to do this. Even my sisters, I remember a couple summers ago, my little sister, she was like still sitting in artificial harmony. And like went for it. I was like, all right, let's talk about it. I understand I can have a little bit more direct approach. I think I can maybe soften. And my little sister was like, no, like this is good. Like us having a hash, like, what's your perspective? What's my perspective? Like, let's come to that root cause.   You   and I are gonna be so much more bonded together. We'll have so much more trust with each other. I'm gonna know that what you tell me is really truth, rather than sitting here guessing, wondering, wishing, hoping like my mom doesn't need to come in and intervene between us. Like neither of us want that. And I think you can relate that to offices where no one wants the office manager or the doctor to come and intervene. Like Dana and I should be able to talk it out. We don't need Tiffanie to come in and mediate. Sometimes you do, but if you can get that as the status quo of a practice, it is fascinating to see meetings start actually become very enjoyable. People aren't bored in these meetings anymore.   actually say what needs to be said. We like you said, Dana, I feel like it's like it's the good to great. It's the like mediocre to excellent. And I think we've even watched it evolve in our consulting team. Like I was like, all right, we had a moment where I watched our consultants not give feedback that I I thought that they would have given. And it was such an amazing eye opening for me of like, all right, consultant team, like let's talk like how do we get more trust and vulnerability? How do I as a leader make it to where this feels like a safe space for you to say what needs to be said and   We worked on it this quarter and it's actually really fun to see it in our company evolve and in teams have it evolve. So, Dana, how do you like virtually and in person get teams to feel safe to start to change? Because to say what needs to be said, to healthy debate it out, to trust one another that you're not gonna go talk about me to my neighbor. And if I say something that's very off topic, like I always pull the example in an office, I'm like, all right, everybody, we're working Saturdays, and it's like crickets. And I'm like, okay, well, clearly we don't have trust.   'Cause I know none of you want to be working Saturdays. Like, let's have this and this is a good example. But I'm just curious, like, how do you even like broach this? How do you even one, I guess, like let's back it up. How do you know if your team has true trust and vulnerability? And then two, how do you start to bring more of that into the table?   Dana (07:32) Yeah, I think it is just I usually take a gauge of okay.   I'll notice in teams, right? That we'll come up with action plans or that we'll come up and it's like we we lack sort of follow-through, right? And then there's after conversations, or there's like, well, I didn't really do this because I had all these questions, or I didn't. So like that is kind of a sign to me in my team meetings and in my meetings with teams that, like, okay, we're not really saying the things that need to be said, or we're not because we aren't moving forward, right? We aren't implementing, we aren't getting to the point where, yeah, like we had this really great meeting, we came up with these actions.   Items, we're super excited. We went and tackled them, right? So   Kiera (08:12) Mm-hmm.   Dana (08:13) when I have a team that kind of struggles to do those things, or they're constantly like, well, we started and it fell off, or we did like to me, that is a sign of we aren't getting to the bottom of things, we aren't getting people committed, we aren't getting people bought in, so things aren't being said. So just like you said, that crickets where like that work on Saturday.   kind of conversation, then I just start to ask questions. And I think where it gets to kind of be an eye-opening point is so many times people   feel like I had in an in a virtual team meeting, a team member's like, well, you know, I don't say the ideas I have or I don't say the issues because I don't feel like as a team member I have like the authority to, right? So then it's just looking. So then I looked at the doctor and I said, okay, do you want to know the things that are frustrating your team? Do you want to know the things that are stressing them out? Do you want to know where they feel like things are?   in inefficient. And of course the answer was absolutely yes. Like I don't   Kiera (09:10) Uh-huh.   Dana (09:10) want my team members beating their heads against the wall on the same things if we can come to a team meeting and we can solve it together.   And then on the flip side, I've had the conversations of when it comes to like leadership holding back or owners holding back on the things that they want to say. It's truly asking the team like, do you want to know what the expectations of you are? Do you want to know if you're doing something that frustrates an owner or stresses them out? Or do you want to know that you are aligned? And every time, right, everybody is like, yes, yes, I do.   Kiera (09:41) Yeah.   Dana (09:42) Then it is giving them the tools, right, to   Kiera (09:44) Mm-hmm.   Dana (09:45) be able to create that with themselves.   And for them to really realize that it comes from there is a lack of trust or a lack of vulnerability on one side, both sides. And like, is it between leaders and teams? Is it between team members and team members? Is   Kiera (10:02) And you   Dana (10:02) it and it can always be strengthened and it can always be improved? But I think just getting to like, hey, this is an issue and let's talk about it.   Kiera (10:12) Absolutely. And I think Dana, you you brought up a lot of highlights of like they're not following through on their accountability. People are like, I want an accountable team. And if you go to like Patrick Lenciani's Five Dysfunctions of a Team, which is where a lot of this is pulled from, like bottom layer of that triangle is trust and vulnerability. Then it's healthy debate, then it's commitment, then it is peer-to-peer accountability, and then it's winning and hitting results. So when I think about that, it's like if people are not being committed, it's because they didn't hash it. So they're like,   I don't want to do that. And what happens is you get the side hallway conversations of like, Dana, I'm not doing that. Are you doing that? Like, there's absolutely no way. We're trying to cut those side hallway conversations. And that's where we tell teams. I tell all teams, I'm like, here's a safe space. Like, you guys get to say whatever you want to say. I don't care what it is. It's always with respect, it's with professionalism, and it's in the best interest of the practice. Not Dana's best interest, not Kiera's best interest. We have different perspectives. Let's bring them to the table. But all of us are here to make Dental A Team or   Whatever your practice's name is, it we're here to make it better. So as long as like those are ground rules. But I tell everyone like you have an open voice, you have an open space. And if you choose not to say it today, well, bummer, you committed to this. So you're gonna commit, you're gonna follow through because that's who we all are and that's how this team operates. But next meeting, when you're like, Dana, I don't wanna do this, we talk about it. And also as coworkers, if we hear someone saying I don't want to do that, you say like, hey, dang it, like I hear you. Next time bring it up because like we all committed.   That's how you're going to fix. And like people have to get on the same page and it gets awkward. But I'm like, if you can get 1% better every meeting, team members get very bought in. Team members then start to realize like, like I tell people, if you're not having a little bit of spicy fireworks in your meetings, you don't have enough trust and vulnerability. There should be some spice. There should be some fireworks. It's not like yelling, it's not like Dana and I are going at it. It's a Dana, like, let's talk Saturdays, right?   Dana's   like, all right, cool. So we want to work Saturdays. I don't want to work Mondays and Tuesdays. Like, let's talk about why we want to work Saturdays, why we don't want to work Saturdays, what's really like ultimately in the best interest of the business. I'm like, cool. Could Dana and I get to a point where if Saturdays really are a great practice, like practice plan, we don't necessarily have to work it. Like, that doesn't mean Dana and I have to go work it. Like, could we go find hygienists that want to work Saturdays? Like, yes. So instead of having teams shut it down, it's a let's.   Let's innovate, let's create, let's figure out what's in the best interest of the business. But all of us need to have a voice and then all of us commit. And then that's where I love the peer-to-peer accountability. Instead of it's leadership accountability, it's peer-to-peer. So if Dana's like hearing me talk, smacking those sterilization, she's supposed to call me out. And I think teams building up to this, teams realizing that this is normal. What's fascinating, I will say this for myself, it actually improved my marriage, it improved my family relationships, it improved so many things because I realize.   that that's healthy. Like that's actually a healthy culture. That's that is a harmonious whole culture, even though you're like, whoa, that doesn't feel like it, versus the ones that are sitting there silently. And when Jason and I started getting more into this, I'm like, tell me. Like I remember sitting there and I was like, I love having a good spice even with Jason. I love to be like, tell me what you think. What do I think? Like let's get to that. And I recognize some people like myself can be a bit more bold. and so I think the bold personalities need to recognize that some of the quieter personalities   give them a space to also speak up and quieter personalities, we need your voice. We need your perspective. Like it it's not you, it's just your perspective. So we can all get on the same page. But it's it's fascinating to watch the churn. And what I see is team members are going to rise up and some are going to rise out. They're going to be like, this isn't for me. I want to go back to the place of artificial harmony. But leaders when they start to see this is how this is how teams solve their own problems. This is how meetings become effective. This is how your business starts to actually like move, make traction.   evolve. Like you start to actually have functioning and and teams that don't turn over because they actually say what needs to be said and they're not sitting in that artificial harmony. Dana, what are your thoughts on that?   Dana (14:05) Yeah, I I agree with you and I love there are gonna be team members that can come in and they can really take this on and they can embrace it. And then there's gonna be team members who use it like they put their just their big toe in it. And I just did this recently in in person with an office and it was an office where they like really wanted it. They were like, Yes, we know that we need it, we need to say the things. but it was really scary for them because they   cared about each other and so they never wanted to, you know, that fear of like, well, are they gonna hear my intention? Are they going to understand that like I'm saying it because it's for the good, right?   Kiera (14:39) Mm-hmm.   Dana (14:40) So what we did, and this was really cool and really helpful, and they've had so many of these conversations since I was in there, and I can't tell you how proud of them I am. We basically came up with a code word, and the code word is I'm saying something that is uncomfortable for me to say because I anticipate that maybe it's going to feel negative, maybe it's going to   feel abrasive, right? But my intention is if I say this thing, then we can solve it together and we can move on, right? Those so like that is the   framing behind this code   Kiera (15:16) Yeah, uh-huh.   Dana (15:16) word, right? And for them, they picked something that makes them laugh. So they just it's a flat tire conversation, right?   Kiera (15:21) Yeah.   Dana (15:22) And so they always say like, hey, flat tire, and then say the thing, right? And that's just their way   Kiera (15:27) Mm.   Dana (15:28) of really just making them comfortable with this whole philosophy of we're going to say the things that need to be said. We're going to do it kindly and professionally. But it was kind of like their little lean in tool that   Kiera (15:38) I love it.   Dana (15:39) they use. Now I said we can't ever use flat tire of a like, hey, I was supposed to do   This, but flat tire, I didn't, right? We can't use it to get out of accountability for things, but it really is just to set the tone of I'm gonna say a thing that I'm scared to say that's hard to say, but I hope if I say it, we can grow together, right?   Kiera (15:57) I love that.   Dana (15:58) And so I love that as a tool, and I find myself kind of using it in a few offices since then, and they can pick their own word, it doesn't have to be flat tire, but you're right, this is hard for some team members to really get on board with because I do think that.   When they genuinely like each other as humans, this can be uncomfortable at first. So even using a tool like that, hey, we're not gonna not have the conversations or not say   Kiera (16:22) Uh-huh.   Dana (16:22) the thing, but maybe I need a crutch to get there.   Kiera (16:25) Yes.   Well, and Dana, I love that because I think I think most teams actually love each other and most teams want to work together. Most teams respect each other. And I think if we can even reframe that to me having the conversation with you, like let's go to the book Raving Fans. They said the worst thing that can happen to a business is for people to leave and not tell you. And you might feel like someone telling you and giving you feedback, like that's actually the best thing that can happen to a business because that means they believe in you that you're willing to change.   And so I think if we even reframe of the way I really love my team, the way I really support my coworkers, the way I really show them that I trust them is by having these types of conversations. Me not saying anything actually like is a disservice. None of us, like I ask every team, I'm like, how many of you enjoy like walking on eggshells around team members? Like we all know what that feels like. We all know when someone's like upset with us, but we don't know how to have that conversation. We're like, what did I do to this person? Versus someone where it's like,   Dana, like I feel like things are a little off. Like flat tire. Like, can we have a conversation about this so we can solve it together? That shows so much more camaraderie. That shows so much more professionalism. That shows so much more, like to me, that's a maturity of a team. There's like, I feel like it's like layers, right? Baby teams,   Dana (17:36) Mm-hmm. Yeah.   Kiera (17:37) toddler teams, middle school teams, high school teams, college teams. Then you get into professional services like teams. Like you just think about like,   Even   think about the type of communication all those different layers are going to have with each other. And maybe that's also a way for us to graduate into those different layers of communication with each other. But I will tell you, as someone, and I think that that's something I'm very proud of, is I am a very like people pleaser. I love people like me. I'm very much sit on that artificial harmony. And sometimes, like even with Britt, like my hair, I'll like push it up and I'm like, all right, Britt, this is a moment where I'm really stressed. Like I need to say something to you. And I'm like,   Every ounce of me wants to say it, but I don't want it to ever land wrong. So just know, like right now, like this is me like pep talking myself to go into this combo. And I appreciate that Britt will giggle because she knows like it's so hard for me, but I just need to say what needs to be said. And I think for teams, like this is a muscle and a skill that's really going to take you from where you are to where you ultimately want to go. Like this is that bridge. And you can either sit on one side of the river or you can dip your toe in, you can step on the bridge, you can start having the conversations.   And what's wild is your team culture will start to shift and evolve in ways you've never imagined and you'll never look back. Like it's not like you might have some knockout, drag outs, but you're like, you what, I'd rather know than like not know. And you start to get into this where it's like, cool, let's have a conversation. Like you said, tell us about the flat tire office. How long has it been? What's kind of been their experience, highs and lows, and where are they today?   Dana (19:07) Yeah, yeah. So this it we did this more recently in an in-person. It was probably like three months ago. And   Kiera (19:14) Mm-hmm.   Dana (19:15) they've had, I think, teammate to teammate conversations. They've had leadership to team member conversations, and they've had team member two leadership conversations since then. And I can tell you, like they are more committed, they are tracking things, they are, you know, they've got a board where things are like red and green. We did it for just like a visual for them. There is more green.   On the board since then than I've ever seen, because they truly, truly are using morning huddles to like work through things and just communicating at a level that I'm so proud because I they really, really struggled with this. And I wasn't they were committed, right? But I had seen them fall off in commitment before because they did struggle with this. And so watching them really be able to   Take it on, use that. And two, the last call that I had with them, just feedback in like, hey, I had a flat tire conversation and I didn't even have to take say flat tire, right? Like I didn't   Kiera (20:15) Yeah.   Dana (20:15) even have to use that crutch. I'm getting so comfortable with having conversations that I didn't even have to use our funny word. And you know, they did laugh because it was like after the fact we were like, flat tire, right? but   Kiera (20:27) Ha ha ha   Dana (20:28) the fact that like they could just go in and say it in a meeting, right? Say it   Kiera (20:32) Mm-hmm.   Dana (20:32) in a not even in a one-on-one space, like this happened in a team.   meeting where they were talking about things, it honestly and truly has made such a difference in their ability to work together and honestly and truly commit and then hit their goals, right? And   Kiera (20:49) Yeah, uh-huh.   Dana (20:50) actually hit their action items. And it's been really fun to see how proud of themselves they are too.   Kiera (20:56) That's incredible. And I hope I don't know if you guys heard. I heard. I was watching Dana's face and hearing you're like, they were committed. Like you even like the little like trying to like, they were committed. And to me, that's not committed. Versus on this latter half when you're like, they commit and they hit, there is like a stalwartness. There's a solid, there's a grounded of are we like committed? Like, like we're there, but we're not, versus like, we know we're gonna have the conversations, whatever we say we're going to actually achieve as a team. Do you know how much teams love to win and actually like   Be confident they're going to win, be confident that the goals we set are realistic, to challenge each other and to see a team like Dana, that was three months of a change in an evolution. And I think that's fun. And it now just becomes a standard, it becomes a baseline. You gave them the tools to get there. And I think having a consultant, see that, give your team the tools. I mean, Dana, kudos. I'm definitely gonna take that because I think having the like word of how do I go into this conversation and making it funny that they all agree to my husband, I have the word Arkansas, and that's like if I want him to tell me the truth.   And I feel like he's like kind of like, hmm, not I'm like Arkansas. And he's no, no, Arkansas. Like, this is really what I'm trying to say. And I'm like, okay, great. Like sometimes we all need to just have that where we can we can check in with each other. And I think kudos to you, Dana, for doing that. And to get a team to just rally and to hit great goals and to be committed. And what's wild is this team, like I guarantee you, they've got the base foundation, just like Patrick, Patrick Lanzioni says, it's the trust and vulnerability, the healthy debate, and you lock in and commit.   And if you will do the trust and vulnerability where you healthy debate, your team will actually commit and then they hold each other accountable. It's like, no, we committed to this. Like we're all in it to win it. And then you hit your results. And people want to do it the reverse order. They want to hit the results, but they don't want to talk about the trust. And like Dana said, like we can like, we can kind of hit results, but we're not like so grounded and solid that we know we're gonna do it. So Dana, huge kudos to you. I think mad kudos of you giving that space and giving them the space to trust. And I think for other offices, if you're struggling with that or your team's not quite there.   This is what we're really good at is peeling back those onion layers, helping to open up the conversations. Because yes, you come to us for wanting systems and you want case acceptance, you want morning huddle and you want to drive your production. But a lot of times the secret to that bridge is getting your team to actually communicate with each other, getting your team to trust each other, getting your team to be solely locked in and committed to what we actually say rather than like half-heartedly trying to do it because they want to please you. Let's get people who are actually like very committed and this is their practice that they stamp off on.   And they own. So reach out Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. Dana, I'm so freaking proud of you. Any last thoughts you've got before we wrap today?   Dana (23:28) No, I think just when you want this for your team, be willing to do it yourself. owners, dentists, right? And and just it is hard, right? It can be hard to say the things, but know that when we can say the things, the traction that we can have and the movement that we can have is unimaginable.   Kiera (23:47) Dana, that is like a solid mic drop. You're right. Like it starts with leaders first. You've got to be willing to do it. You can't be backbiting. You can't be gossiping behind the scenes. You can't be walking out of a meeting saying, I'm not doing that. You set that example. Dana, love podcasting with you. I adore you. I'm so proud of you. For all of you listening, commit. Like, let's let's get our teams to be functional. Let's get them to be rocking. Let's get them to be totally committed. And this is the first step. So try it or reach Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. As always, thanks for listening. And I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.

In today's episode, I chat with Abundance Community member Heather, who's three years into private practice, full at 25-27 clients a week, but working harder than she wants to. We dig into why increasing her private pay visibility, raising her rate, & taking insurance off her website will move the needle way more than hiring a clinician, subleasing office space, or building a course. We also talk about sliding scale and why it's worth sitting with what you actually want for your practice instead of what you think you "should" want.   Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

Traditional search engine volume is experiencing a structural decline as AI chatbots and generative answer engines redefine how buyers seek solutions. Despite this massive shift toward generative discovery, many B2B organizations are still relying on outdated organic playbooks, resulting in a decrease in their organic search visibility. How can B2B marketing teams adapt their digital strategy to maintain organic dominance and capture market share in an AI-first search environment?In this episode, we sit down with Jenna Hannon, Founder of Hatter, who shared actionable strategies to drive long-term growth by increasing your AI search visibility. Jenna broke down the critical transition from legacy SEO to Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) powered by generative search models. She analyzed the operational impact of changing search behavior and why broad keyword targeting is losing ground to hyper-specific user prompts. Jenna also explained how large language models (LLMs) parse context to surface authoritative B2B solutions, while outlining the diminishing influence of traditional backlink building. Finally, Jenna delivered her proven framework for optimizing B2B content for generative engines and elaborated on the precise metrics growth teams must track to measure success.

Revenue cycle operations teams are responsible for maintaining reimbursement integrity and regulatory compliance across a rapidly expanding oncology service line. Increasing payer scrutiny—particularly for high-cost oncology therapies—has created significant operational strain, treatment delays, and administrative burden for providers.

Automotive plastic recycling is moving outside the curbside bin as EPR laws push petroleum brands to fund collection systems for used oil and antifreeze containers.David Lawes, CEO of Interchange 360, explains why petroleum packaging needs a separate recovery system and how the organization is building one across the United States. The effort grew from a Canadian model and brings major petroleum producers under a shared compliance structure for petroleum and automotive packaging.Lawes describes a funding model based largely on product volume, with fees collected upstream and incentives paid to existing trucking, collection and recycling businesses rather than a network of Interchange-owned trucks or facilities. He also explains how auto retailers, household hazardous waste sites and other return locations can serve as convenient alternatives to curbside recycling, where residual oil can contaminate broader material streams.The conversation follows the material after collection. Motor oil containers can be shredded, warmed and processed through a centrifuge to remove residual oil, which can be recycled, while the plastic can move into post-consumer markets and potentially back into new motor oil packaging. Lawes says the long-term goal is a tighter circular system, but processing capacity remains a major constraint, especially in states such as Colorado where the program is building infrastructure from a near-zero starting point.Lawes also discusses why consumer behavior often comes down to two factors: clear communication and convenient drop-off options. He points to British Columbia, where the Canadian program has achieved collection and recycling rates above 90%, as evidence that specialized systems can scale when the network is easy to use.Learn more about the Environmental Transformation Podcast at www.seankgrady.com.#PlasticRecycling #ExtendedProducerResponsibility #CircularEconomyCHAPTERS:0:00 Recycling Challenge and Introduction2:00 Five Oil Brands Build a Shared EPR Model4:00 Why the Canadian Model Was Chosen6:00 Canada and U.S. Program Differences9:00 How Volume Based EPR Funding Works12:00 Incentivizing Existing Recycling Companies15:00 Alternatives to Curbside Collection18:00 Sponsor Break20:00 State by State EPR Compliance24:00 Circularity and Post Consumer Content27:00 Building Processing Capacity From Zero30:00 Cleaning Oil Contaminated HDPE33:00 Other Materials That Need Separate Systems36:00 Convenience Drives Recycling Behavior40:00 Collection Equipment and Retail Incentives42:00 Colorado Targets and Producer Compliance45:00 Developing Colorado Processing Capacity49:00 Building the System for the Long TermTAGS:David Laws recycling, Lawes lubricant recycling, Interchange360 recycling, lubricant container recovery, used oil bottle recycling, petroleum packaging stewardship, alternative collection program, motor oil jug recovery, antifreeze jug disposal, producer responsibility group, Colorado packaging compliance, Washington EPR policy, post consumer resin, HDPE oil bottle processing, circular packaging systems, automotive waste diversion, hazardous waste drop off, recycling incentive model

The conversation around climate change is often bleak and terrifying, but it doesn't have to be that way, says climate behavior scientist Jiaying Zhao, or JZ. In this episode, JZ and happiness researcher Elizabeth Dunn join Chris to discuss why we need to account for happiness in climate solutions. JZ and Elizabeth argue since happiness is contagious, making happiness-driven decisions go further in influencing behavioral change than fear-based tactics. They also talk about an anesthetic gas that releases more carbon than CO2 and why you should google if your bank is investing money in fossil fuels.Featured guestFollow JZ on X, LinkedIn, and at psych.ubc.ca/profile/jiaying-zhao/Follow Elizabeth Dunn at https://dunn.psych.ubc.ca/Learn more at https://happyclimate.org/Buy Leave the Light OnConnect with the teamFollow Chris on Instagram and at chrisduffycomedy.comBuy Chris' book, Humor Me Watch How to Be a Better Human videos on YouTube at TEDPodsFollow TED on X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTokFor the full text transcript, visit go.ted.com/BHTranscriptsFill out our survey at bit.ly/BHSurvey6 Hosted on Acast.

Contributor: Taylor Lynch, MD Educational Pearls:  CPR is an important life-saving measure designed for anyone to perform. Chest compressions works by two mechanisms:  Cardiac pump: Direct squeezing of the heart Thoracic pump: Increasing intrathoracic pressure, causing increased blood flow Proper hand placement per current AHA guidelines:  Hands are placed in the center of the chest, on the lower half of the sternum A recent study challenged this approach, using TEE during chest compressions to visualize the cardiac structures being compressed. They found that when hands were placed ~1cm to the left of the sternum, this compressed the left ventricular outflow tract, potentially restricting forward blood flow. Hand placement ~4cm to the left of the sternum resulted in more effective compression of the left ventricle. While this is not yet reflected in AHA guidelines, the study presents an interesting finding that may influence how CPR is performed in the future.  Key takeaway: Always prioritize administering high quality compressions.

Retailers are optimistic a bump in spending will stick around. Latest Stats NZ data on electronic card transactions shows July's core retail spending is up 3.5% compared to the same time last year. Retail NZ says it's an encouraging sign considering the winter months are typically slower for the sector. Communications Manager Denise Garland told Mike Hosking the FIFA World Cup was likely a big factor in the positive hospitality numbers. She says it's been a rocky year for retail, but they're seeing more people out and about and in cafes and restaurants, so there's hope the bounce will continue.

In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we explore how companies are leveraging AI and other technologies to address some of the world's most pressing water challenges even as a new threat is emerging for US water utilities in the form of cyberattacks.  We talk with Claudia Toussaint, Executive Vice President and Chief People and Sustainability Officer at Xylem. Xylem is a major global water technology company that provides services to utility, industrial, commercial, and residential markets.  Claudia outlines the fundamental role water plays in the AI economy, from data center operations to semiconductor manufacturing and electricity generation. She explains how companies can accommodate growing AI demand while also reducing their water use and dependence.   Claudia also tells us how Xylem is working to address big water challenges, including climate change, an infrastructure investment gap and cybersecurity threats. As water utilities increasingly digitize their systems, she says most are not equipped to consistently defend themselves against the kind of cyberattacks that have recently hit water utilities across multiple US states.  "Part of becoming a really good, resilient and sustainable utility means that you manage all of your operational risks. And cybersecurity is an increasing and critical risk for our water utilities," Claudia says.  This episode is the latest installment in our CSO Insights podcast series, where we interview Chief Sustainability Officers around the world and across industries.

As the climate crisis ravages the planet with wildfires, droughts and floods, the wealthy are using private jets, which spew carbon into the atmosphere, more and more frequently. Not only does this exacerbate the climate crisis, but it is putting a strain on air travel infrastructure. Through a powerful private jet lobby, the cost of private air travel has been shifted to those who use commercial airlines and taxpayers. Chuck Collins of the Program on Inequality and the Common Good at the Institute for Policy Studies, which recently launched its Tax Private Jet campaign, speaks with Clearing the FOG about the many reasons why we need to curtail private jet use and the growing movement to do that.

Janatan Sayeh: The Iranian regime has dramatically escalated its internal reign of terror, with executions increasing by over 100 percent in some regions. Revolutionary courts, led by brutal judges such as Mohammad Reza Tavakoli, use public hangings and floggings to desensitize and intimidate the population. These courts specifically target young dissidents, journalists, and even musicians for offending the supreme leader or waging war against God. Washington is criticized for failing to invoke human rights sanctions since January, even as other Western nations act. The surge in executions often coincides with diplomatic negotiations, serving as the regime's deliberate internal priority to liquidate all political dissent. (9)Q9Q0 RUSSIAN SOLDIERS IN PERSIA
