Hey there Voices of the Bench community, this is Trish Jones with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS Emax Zirconia offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help save you valuable production time while maintaining consistent results. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out to your local Ivoclar rep today and discover how IPS Emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one.Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, The Invisible Profession. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. From polishing hearing-aid earpieces to becoming the first female clinical dental technician to qualify in the UK, Caroline Kirkpatrick has taken a pretty incredible—and definitely unconventional—path through dental technology. Caroline joins Barb and Elvis to talk about how a broken denture repair sign outside a dental laboratory sparked her interest in the industry, her early years learning crown and bridge, orthodontics, and working in a dental hospital, and how her curiosity pushed her to learn every side of the profession. Eventually, that curiosity led Caroline to become one of the first four technicians accepted into the UK's pioneering clinical dental technology program in 2010. But Caroline's story doesn't stop at the bench. She built her own laboratory, taught dental technology, treated patients clinically, raised a family, and continued pushing herself into digital dentistry. She shares how she experimented with early digital workflows, 3D printing, digital dentures, and eventually exocad—and why she believes the best digital workflow isn't necessarily the fanciest one, but the one that actually works in the real world. Caroline also talks about working with her sister and daughter in the family lab, the importance of exposing young technicians to different laboratories and workflows, and why sharing the mistakes you've made can sometimes be one of the best ways to help someone else learn. From Scotland to the world of digital dentures, this is a great conversation about curiosity, adaptability, education, and never being afraid to learn something new. You know what's expensive in a dental lab? Most people would say the mill, but the real cost is downtime. When production stops, everything backs up—cases get delayed, technicians get frustrated, and customers start asking questions. That's why reliable equipment matters. Roland DGA's DGSHAPE DWX milling solutions are built for dependable production, helping labs stay on schedule and keep work moving day after day. Less downtime means fewer surprises and more time doing what your lab does best. And when your equipment is reliable, your customers notice the difference. Reliability isn't just a feature—it's the foundation of a successful lab. Visit rolanddental.com to learn more about Roland's DGSHAPE DWX milling solutions.Special Guest: Caroline Kirkpatrick.

Dr. Dana Suskind is the Founder and Co-Director of the TMW Center for Early Learning and Public Health, and the Founding Director of the Pediatric Cochlear Implant Program. She has dedicated her research and clinical work to optimizing foundational brain development, with an emphasis on helping parents and caregivers understand their power as brain architects. Her new book, Human Raised: Nurturing Connection, Curiosity and Lifelong Learning in the Age of AI, explores how families can stay grounded in human connection as AI becomes part of how kids learn, socialize, and think.In this conversation, we went beyond the usual questions about screen time and app safety to ask what we risk losing if we outsource too much of childhood to systems built for optimization rather than connection. We talked about how the way children are raised today intersects with the future of democracy, misinformation, and civic life, and why it matters that many of the people building these technologies keep their own kids away from them. We also talked honestly about how parents can hold the tension between preparing their children for a high tech future and protecting a meaningful, deeply human childhood, without falling into fear or fatalism.Connect with Dr. Dana: Website | Instagram | Substack | Buy the BookIf you're looking to unleash your potential, find your personal, professional, or political fire, and to connect with a community who is doing the same, click here to learn more.

From shifting commodity markets and explosive data center growth to drone delivery and AI-enabled workplaces, supply chain leaders are navigating change from every direction. In this episode of The Buzz, powered by Toyota Automated Logistics, Scott Luton and Dr. Rod Thomas are joined by Hans Kremer, partner and co-founder of Inchange, to unpack the latest supply chain headlines and explore what professionals and organizations need to thrive in a rapidly evolving business environment. The discussion shifts to professional development, where Hans shares why companies need to stop training in silos and create more cross-functional learning experiences. The group also explores lifelong learning, the value of hands-on operational experience, and why AI should be viewed as a capability multiplier, not simply a tool for cutting costs or increasing efficiency. They close with powerful insights on leadership, trust, empathy, and creating environments where people can succeed. Key Takeaways: Successful change starts with the people doing the work. Find true advocates early, listen carefully to resistance, communicate the “why” repeatedly, and give teams the time and resources needed to implement change. Supply chain has become a strategic differentiator. Competition increasingly happens between entire supply chain ecosystems, not simply individual companies. Tomorrow's supply chain professionals need more than technical expertise. Strategic inquiry, discernment, judgment, adaptability, communication, and influence will become increasingly important as AI expands access to technical capabilities. Copper and other critical resources could become major constraints on AI and electrification growth. Data centers, infrastructure investment, geopolitics, tariffs, and limited natural resources are creating complex global supply challenges. Professional development needs to become cross-functional. Giving employees opportunities to experience sales, operations, supply chain, finance, and other perspectives can help break down silos and improve organizational performance. AI should make people more capable, not simply more efficient. Organizations that use AI only to automate existing tasks may miss its greater potential to enable employees to solve problems and perform work they could not previously do. Leadership is about enabling the success of others. Strong leaders remove obstacles, protect their teams, model the right behaviors, build mutual trust, and create an environment people want to follow. This episode brings together timely supply chain news with practical lessons on leadership, learning, technology, and organizational performance. Whether you're preparing your workforce for AI, navigating major market shifts, developing the next generation of supply chain talent, or simply trying to become a stronger leader, Hans, Rod, and Scott offer actionable perspectives you can put to work right away.   Additional Links and Resources: Toyota Automated Logistics: https://toyota-automated-logistics.com/ With That Said: https://bit.ly/WTS-8-August-2026 Leading Beyond The Next Disruption: https://bit.ly/Mourad-Tamoud-SE Rod's LinkedIn Post: https://bit.ly/The-Perfect-SC-Manager Han's LinkedIn Post: https://bit.ly/Hans-Music-Stories Copper jumps to its highest level ever.

Welcome to The Education Evolution — and you're listening to Lifelong Learning!This is a podcast for the thinkers, the doers, and those who understand that the most important lessons aren't always learned in school—but they shape the world we live in every day.Right now, millions of jobs are going unfilled. Skilled trades, healthcare, technology, and other industries are struggling to find the people they need. And as the traditional education pipeline struggles to keep up, something interesting is happening: companies are starting to build new pathways into the workforce themselves.In this episode, we explore what happens when corporations, community colleges, apprenticeships, and government programs begin rethinking how people learn and prepare for careers.From Micron's apprenticeship programs to Meta's investment in skilled trades and Anthropic's partnership to bring AI training into classrooms, we look at what these emerging pathways actually look like—and why companies are investing so heavily in them.We also take a closer look at Workforce Pell Grants and the growing shift toward shorter-term credentials, boot camps, and apprenticeships, while graduate school financing is simultaneously being reduced.This isn't a conversation about whether college is “good” or “bad.”It's a conversation about whether we're finally expanding our definition of what education and career preparation can look like.Because lifelong learning doesn't have to mean sitting in a classroom for four years.Sometimes it means learning while you work. Sometimes it means developing a new skill. Sometimes it means changing careers entirely.The question is: Which pathway is right for you?

Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. This week on Voices From the Bench, we finally sit down with someone we've been wanting to have on the show for a LONG time—Philip Gold! Philip grew up in the dental laboratory, quite literally pulling teeth out of formaldehyde bottles in his father Raymond Gold's lab in Atlanta. His father started the laboratory in 1946, and Philip eventually found himself following in those footsteps, although not without first taking a seven-year detour working for Williams Gold. That experience gave him the opportunity to visit laboratories all over the country, learn from some of the best in the industry, and see firsthand how different labs operated. Philip eventually returned to the family laboratory in 1980 and began the process of taking over from his father. What followed was a career built around learning, adapting, building teams, and—most importantly—relationships. Philip shares what it was like stepping into a leadership role at a young age, earning the respect of experienced technicians, and learning that being a leader isn't about knowing everything yourself, but understanding the work well enough to help the people around you succeed. He also talks about selling the laboratory to National Dentex with the goal of giving the business and its people an opportunity to continue growing, only to eventually find his way back into the laboratory world with By Design Dental Studio alongside his daughter Katie and Denise. And if you know Philip, you know he's never stopped learning. He currently holds six CDT certifications, including ceramics, crown and bridge, partials, implants, dentures, and digital. His story about preparing for the digital practical exam is a perfect example of his determination—his first practice run took seven and a half hours for an exam designed to be completed in just over five. So he reorganized, practiced again, changed his workflow, and eventually got it down to under five hours. And of course, Philip isn't pursuing certifications just for himself. He wants to set an example, motivate the next generation of technicians, and encourage more people in the laboratory to continue learning. We also get into the importance of customer service, why relationships are at the heart of this industry, and why sometimes the best thing a laboratory can do is simply pick up the phone and help. Philip shares his philosophy that when something goes wrong, you drop everything and make it right. We talk about giving back to the industry, the people who helped shape Philip's career, and how the dental laboratory community has always been willing to share knowledge when you're willing to ask. And yes… somewhere along the way we also hear the greatest “okey-doke” story in dental laboratory history. Special Guest: Phillip Gold.

There was a time when the premise of nanny robots and artificial intelligence raising our children was merely the subject of Steven Spielberg's futuristic sci-fi films. The future, it seems, is now. As AI enters nurseries, playrooms, and classrooms, parents are being sold a “smart” childhood at every turn. With mainstream use of artificial intelligence, the power of parent talk and human interaction in childhood development has become even clearer. In her latest book, Human Raised, author Dana Suskind, MD, reveals the possibilities and perils of using AI and related technologies for child-rearing. What do parents and caregivers need to know to assess individual technologies and foster the skills needed to thrive growing up in an AI-driven future? Dr. Suskind has authored over 45 scientific publications and is a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics and a Fellow for the Council on Early Childhood. She is also the founder and Co-Director of the TMW Center for Early Learning + Public Health, Founding Director of the Pediatric Cochlear Implant Program, and Professor of Surgery and Pediatrics at the University of Chicago. Her previous books include the New York Times bestsellers Parent Nation and Thirty Million Words. This conversation originally took place on July 23, 2026 at the City Club of Cleveland. Guests: - Dana Suskind, MD, Author, Human Raised: Nurturing Connection, Curiosity & Lifelong Learning in the Age of AI - Lisa Damour, PhD., Author, Psychologist, and Senior Advisor to the Schubert Center for Child Studies, Case Western Reserve University

Completing a fellowship was once not a question in radiology, but today's market has changed the hiring landscape. Bruce Distell, MD, a radiology department chair, speaks with cohosts Elizabeth Hecht, MD, and Winnie Hahn, MD, about why we do fellowships and if we need them today given market demands and looming future of artificial intelligence. Listen to their discussion in episode 2 of Mentorship Unfiltered, an AJR Podcast Series. https://www.ajronline.org/doi/10.2214/AJR.26.35664 *Key Takeaways The Value of Fellowship: An extra year of training provides protected time to develop deep clinical expertise and signals a commitment to continuous education, which remains highly attractive to large practices.   AI and the Future of Radiology: Despite trainee fears of artificial intelligence eliminating jobs, human oversight will remain essential. Highly specialized expertise secures the radiologist's role as the indispensable pilot of patient care.   Lifelong Learning vs. Formal Training: Dedicated fellowship training demonstrates a commitment to clinical expertise, empowering radiologists to lead rather than be replaced in an AI-driven field. However, straight-to-practice routes can also succeed through dedicated, lifelong education. *Chapters 0:00 - Introduction 0:52 - The Existential Choice 1:52 - Pros and cons breakdown 3:20 - Hosts share their paths 4:49 - Meet Bruce Distell 11:04 - Endorsing Fellowships 12:29 - Inside a Modern Practice 16:28 - Training Beyond Fellowship 18:51 - AI and Future Expertise 21:46 - Speed vs Accuracy Debate 25:30 - Hiring What Matters Most 29:51  - Marketability and Mobility 36:38 - Private Equity Pressures 44:00 - Is Fellowship Worth It 47:51 - Advice for Those Considering Fellowship 49:37 - Final Takeaways Follow AJR on Social Media LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/ajr-radiology/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfFAYezkLMxJGMgIJLN0Dpg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ajr_radiology/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ajr_radiology X: https://x.com/AJR_Radiology BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/ajrradiology.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.com/@ajr_radiology *These sections were generated using artificial intelligence (Descript and Google Gemini) and then reviewed for accuracy.

In this episode of Strap On Your Boots, I reflect on turning fifty and the biggest lesson I've learned after decades of building startups, making films, writing software, and exploring new ideas. Experience isn't just about accumulating knowledge. It's about developing judgment, recognizing patterns, and connecting lessons from projects that once seemed completely unrelated. I share how curiosity, failure, and continuous learning have shaped every stage of my career, and why your greatest advantage as an entrepreneur may be the experiences you've already lived through.

Program discontinuation is usually the fight presidents avoid. Fairleigh Dickinson University put a significant slate of program discontinuations and consolidations to a faculty referendum, and roughly 88 percent of the faculty endorsed it. The vote reflects a larger redefinition underway at FDU: a shift from the four-year degree to a university built around lifelong learning. In this episode of the Changing Higher Ed® podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Michael Avaltroni, President of Fairleigh Dickinson University and the first FDU graduate to hold the office, about the four-P framework guiding that redefinition: programs, people, partnerships, and place. Avaltroni explains how FDU is specializing in health, health-adjacent, and professionally focused programs rather than trying to be everything to everyone; designing for five generations of learners on one campus; delivering degrees inside corporations such as Merck, Novartis, Fiserv, and Barclays; and reimagining its campuses as intergenerational "impact cities" that place retirement living alongside student housing. This conversation is especially relevant for presidents, provosts, and board members weighing program portfolio decisions, partnership strategies, and how to pursue radical change without losing faculty and community trust. Topics Covered Why the fundamental model higher education was built for is gone, and the optimistic "but" that follows The four Ps of the university of the future: programs, people, partnerships, and place Winning faculty endorsement of program cuts through a data-driven shared governance process Serving five generations of learners concurrently, from pre-college pathways to retirement Corporate classrooms, advisory councils, executives in residence, and a learn-while-you-earn platform with health systems Humanics: preparing a healthcare workforce that is technologically literate, data literate, and human literate Real-World Examples Discussed A faculty referendum endorsing a significant slate of program discontinuations by roughly 88 percent On-site MBA and leadership programs where practitioners, including a VP of HR, team-teach with FDU faculty Plans to add university-based retirement living alongside student housing on FDU's two New Jersey campuses Three Key Takeaways for Higher Education Leadership Know who you are. Be the institution you are called to be, serving the students you are called to serve, not a copy of anywhere else. Rethink what higher education can be. The time-driven, hours-logged degree has run its course; the strategic question is how to deliver true lifelong learning, at its fullest a subscription-based model for life. Be bold. Institutions that nibble around the edges risk obsolescence; take a big swing and adjust course, and bring everybody along. This episode offers a working view of what redefining a university around lifelong learning actually requires: a clear identity, a disciplined portfolio, partners who carry what the institution should not, and governance strong enough to carry hard decisions.

Hey there Voices of the Bench community, this is Trish Jones with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS Emax Zirconia offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help save you valuable production time while maintaining consistent results. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out to your local Ivoclar rep today and discover how IPS Emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one. The Voices From the Bench microphones head to the FDLA Symposium for three conversations that perfectly capture what makes this industry so special. Thanks to the wonderful people at GPS Digital RPD, Elvis and Barb got to sit down with longtime friend Morris Fucarino to celebrate an incredible milestone—50 years as a CDT. Morris shares how he found his way into dental technology, what earning certification has meant throughout his career, and why he believes every technician should strive to be the best they can be. From belt-driven handpieces and gold crowns to running a successful one-man laboratory with just three loyal doctors, Morris proves that passion, relationships, and knowledge never go out of style. His stories are a reminder that while technology continues to change, craftsmanship and pride in your work remain timeless. Next, the conversation shifts to Enja Dorjchuluun from Sakr Dental Arts, who talks about helping lead one of Florida's fastest-growing laboratories while serving on the FDLA Board of Directors. She discusses the challenges of managing a lab spread across multiple buildings, the excitement of moving into a brand-new facility, and why giving back through organized dentistry has become such an important part of her career. From developing future technicians to creating educational opportunities and strengthening state associations, Enja shares why investing in people is every bit as important as investing in technology. To wrap things up, Elvis and Barb meet Joseph Núñez Reyes from GPS Digital Dental Lab, whose journey from Puerto Rico to Orlando is fueled by determination, curiosity, and a love for digital dentistry. After leaving biomedical engineering behind, Joseph found his passion in the dental laboratory, worked his way from the model room to supervising a modern CAM department, and now showcases laboratory workflows through social media to inspire the next generation of technicians. With dreams of one day returning to Puerto Rico to build a state-of-the-art laboratory, Joseph reminds us that the future of dental technology is in very capable hands. Ever notice the busiest labs aren't always the ones working the longest hours? They're usually the ones with a workflow that keeps moving—even after everyone heads home. Real productivity isn't about asking your team to do more; it's about having the right tools doing more for your team. That's where Roland's DGSHAPE DWX milling solutions really shine. Built to keep production moving whether you're milling a single case or running overnight, they free your technicians to focus on finishing cases, serving customers, and growing the business instead of babysitting equipment. That's what real productivity looks like: more output, fewer interruptions, and less time spent chasing problems. Because every hour your mill is producing is another hour your lab is creating value. If you're ready to get more from every production day, discover what Roland's DGSHAPE DWX milling solutions can do for your lab at rolanddental.com.Special Guests: Enja Dorjchuluun, Joseph Núñez Reyes, and Morris Fucarino CDT.

This episode focuses on the decision to pursue graduate school and explores how advanced education can shape careers in animal agriculture and beyond. Guest Maddie Manke shares her journey from taking a gap year after high school to earning a PhD, explaining how a desire to understand the science behind cattle nutrition sparked her interest in research and advanced study. The discussion emphasizes that graduate school is fundamentally different from undergraduate education, requiring students to move beyond memorization and develop critical-thinking, problem-solving, and independent research skills. The hosts highlight that successful graduate students are often driven by curiosity and a desire to answer complex questions, even though every answer tends to generate new questions. They also stress the importance of choosing the right program, advisor, and academic environment, noting that relationships with professors and fellow students can have lasting impacts on both personal and professional development. A recurring theme is that graduate school should be viewed as an investment in a future career rather than simply a way to delay entering the workforce. The group discusses opportunity costs, career goals, and the importance of understanding whether a desired profession truly requires an advanced degree. They encourage prospective students to visit multiple programs, talk with current graduate students, and carefully evaluate their long-term objectives before making a decision. Ultimately, the episode presents graduate school as a valuable pathway for those motivated by curiosity, lifelong learning, and careers that benefit from advanced analytical and research skills.

In this episode of The Holiness Today Podcast, host Crystal Gibbons connects with Tim Bowen-Evans, the incoming director of advocacy and partnerships for Nazarene Compassionate Ministries (NCM). Drawing from his experience as a pastor in Jerusalem and his current work with the Ireland Partnership, Tim discusses why local church-led compassion is central to Christian holiness. He shares powerful stories of resilience from believers in Ukraine and Lebanon, exploring how the church can advocate for justice, navigate complex global conflicts, and reflect Christ's love amid profound suffering.   Lifelong Learning Code: 28473 Click here to learn about Lifelong Learning.

Chuck And Julie Show with Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden Investigations, Activist Judges, and the Nancy Guthrie Disappearance Case Guest Host, Mark Pfoff and Guest John San Agustin Guest Hosting With a Law-Enforcement Lens In this episode of The Chuck and Julie Show, Mark Pfoff guest-hosts while Chuck and Julie are away, bringing his background as a retired detective from the El Paso County Sheriff's Office and current investigative consultant into the discussion. He opens with political commentary before turning to the main investigative focus of the episode: the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie in the Tucson/Pima County area. Later, he is joined by John San Agustin, and the two discuss law-enforcement process, investigative mistakes, digital evidence, task-force work, and the danger of letting major cases go cold. Political Commentary, Candidate Controversy, and Public Integrity Before the investigative segment begins, Pfoff comments on several political and legal stories. He criticizes a Maine political candidate referred to in the transcript as Plattner or Platner, describing allegations against him and arguing that political alignment should never excuse serious misconduct. He also criticizes Jasmine Crockett for remarks about a knife in a Texas stabbing case, using the example to explain the legal definition of a deadly weapon. Pfoff's broader point is that public officials, candidates, and commentators should be held to standards of truth, integrity, and legal common sense regardless of party or agenda. Judges, Immunity, and the Limits of Authority Pfoff then turns to what he calls activist judges and discusses judicial and prosecutorial immunity. He uses the Judge Dugan case as an example of a judge allegedly acting above the law by interfering with law enforcement in a courthouse, then claiming immunity after being charged. Pfoff argues that judges and district attorneys should not be able to misuse authority without consequence. He also discusses Judge Boasberg, immigration-related rulings, and the limits of what courts can compel an administration to do, presenting these examples as part of a larger concern about judges exceeding their proper role. The Nancy Guthrie Disappearance and Early Investigative Concerns The core of the episode centers on the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, described as an elderly woman who was dropped off by her son-in-law on the night of January 31 and reported missing after she failed to appear at church the next morning. Pfoff says the case has gone on for about five months without clear answers, and he compares the initial handling to other high-profile investigations that may have been damaged early. San Agustin emphasizes that the first twenty-four to forty-eight hours are critical and argues that, given Guthrie's age, limited mobility, and circumstances, investigators should have treated the case as potentially serious from the start rather than as a routine missing-person matter. Experience, Resources, and the Need for a Task Force Pfoff and San Agustin focus heavily on the importance of experience and outside resources in major investigations. San Agustin says a detective with only a couple of years of experience should not be placed in charge of a possible kidnapping or homicide without strong leadership and support. They argue that Pima County should have brought in Tucson, Phoenix, state, and federal resources early, especially because the region has experience with kidnappings, cartel-related crime, and complex cases. Pfoff compares this to the response after the Tom Clements homicide, where multiple agencies gathered quickly in a task-force environment to share expertise and leads. Digital Evidence, Timelines, and the Risk of Lost Leads The discussion then moves into investigative methods, especially digital evidence and timeline building. San Agustin says investigators should examine geofence data, cell-tower records, Ring video, neighborhood canvassing, forensic evidence, motive, and activity in the days before the disappearance. Both men suggest the case does not appear random and may have involved prior surveillance or planning. They also discuss a reported ransom or kidnapping note, uncertainty about whether it was genuine, the importance of physical evidence from the home, and the danger of revisiting a scene multiple times after releasing it, because defense attorneys can later challenge the integrity of that evidence. Lifelong Learning, Expert Testimony, and Technology in Court The final section broadens into a discussion of criminal-justice expertise, teaching, and digital forensics. Pfoff and San Agustin explain that investigators, attorneys, experts, and juries must keep learning because technology changes rapidly. They describe cell phones as a kind of modern DNA because of how much information they can provide, but they also warn that law enforcement sometimes overstates what cell-tower and call-detail records can prove. Pfoff criticizes shortcuts in digital investigations, including searches without warrants and claims that phone records place someone precisely at a location when the technology was not designed for that purpose. The episode closes with Pfoff thanking San Agustin, Chuck and Julie, and the audience, while suggesting future discussions may cover additional federal cases and investigative issues.

What if failure isn't the opposite of winning — but the gift that makes it possible? In Part 2 of this two-part conversation, Your Health CEO Matt Staub opens up about the present he gave himself at 40: permission to fail. Then he shows what that looks like when life tests it — walking Jamie through a 2025 that brought prostate cancer, his daughter's surgery, the loss of his father, and professional hardship, and the quiet strength it takes to look back and say, "That was a good try. I'm still here. I'm hard to beat." In this episode, you'll hear: How Matt reframes a loss into a "fall forward" — and the simple habit he uses to do it The agonizing leadership question of when to let someone you care about fail Why accountability, done right, is one of the best gifts you can give a friend The danger of only celebrating big wins — and how complacency quietly creeps in Why the only voice that truly matters is the one inside your own head If you missed Part 1, start there for the full arc. Then settle in here for the deeper, more personal half — and walk away with a new relationship to the losses in your own life.

Hello voices from the bench community, John Wilson here and I wanted to share some news about the evolution of the Programill lineup. Most importantly, Ivoclar's new PrograMill 7. What stands out right away is the reduced air consumption this mill requires, but what you'll notice first is that impressive new touchscreen. For us, the biggest advantage has been increased spindle power. Next time you see your Ivoclar representative, be sure to ask about the PrograMill 7 and tell them John Wilson sent you. Thank you. At exocad Insights in beautiful Mallorca, we finally caught up with Felix from Imagine USA—and the timing couldn't have been better. As an exocad dealer on the front lines of digital dentistry, Felix shared his excitement about the strong turnout, the familiar faces, and most importantly, the innovation coming from exocad. What stood out most? The new exocad Hub and its cloud-based capabilities, along with powerful AI-driven tools inside DentalDB designed for efficient batch processing. For Felix and the Imagine team, it's not just about seeing what's new—it's about putting it to the test. By running new features through their own production facility first, they ensure real-world performance before bringing solutions to their customers. This week, Elvis and Barb continue their coverage from exocad Insights 2026 in beautiful Mallorca, Spain, where the conversations are just as valuable as the lectures. The episode starts with Dr. Zhiqiang Luo, who shares his perspective on educating the next generation of dentists in an increasingly digital world. The discussion explores how students are adapting to technology, why foundational analog skills still matter, and the challenge of preparing future clinicians for workflows that continue to evolve at a rapid pace. It's an insightful look at where dental education is headed and how digital dentistry is becoming second nature to new graduates. The conversation then shifts to one of the most memorable encounters from the event as Elvis and Barb sit down with Alyson Bravo, a passionate dental technician from Brazil who has traveled across the globe to attend exocad Insights. What starts as a discussion about digital workflows quickly turns into a story about chasing dreams, making connections, and experiencing the international dental community firsthand. Alyson talks about discovering digital dentistry, teaching himself advanced design techniques, and the excitement of finally meeting people he has only known through podcasts, social media, and online education. The episode wraps up with returning friend of the podcast Tobias Specht from Ivoclar. Fresh off several major product announcements, Tobias gives listeners an inside look at the collaboration between Ivoclar and exocad and how customer feedback continues to shape product development. He discusses the integration of Ivotion into the exocad workflow, the importance of training and education, and how Ivoclar works with customers around the globe to refine new products before they ever reach the market.Special Guests: Alyson Bravo, Dr. Zhiqiang Luo, and Tobias Specht.

In this episode, I explore Henry David Thoreau's essay Walking and what it can teach us about becoming better readers. Thoreau believed that walking could be transformed into something deeper than exercise—a practice of attention, presence, and discovery. I argue that reading can undergo the same transformation. I'll share four different reading speeds, explain why most readers spend too much time moving too fast, and discuss how to turn reading from information consumption into something closer to contemplation. I'll also share a book recommendation and a few updates from the community.Send Me a Text Message with Your Questions

Few athletes have transcended their sport quite like Shaquille O'Neal. A four-time NBA champion, Hall of Famer, entrepreneur, investor, entertainer, and media personality, Shaq has built an extraordinary career both on and off the basketball court. In this episode, Travis reflects on one of his all-time favorite interviews, sharing the biggest lessons he learned from his conversation with his childhood hero. From parenting and relationships to investing and personal growth, Shaq delivers timeless wisdom grounded in experience, humility, and respect. On this episode we talk about: Why respect is the foundation of healthy relationships and conversations Parenting lessons and adapting your approach to each child Balancing friendship and discipline as a parent The relationship between networking, expertise, and opportunity Shaq's framework for being a great husband, father, and man Top 3 Takeaways Respect creates stronger relationships and healthier conversations. You don't have to agree with someone to treat them with dignity and respect. Relationships open doors, but expertise keeps you in the room. Building connections matters, but developing real skills and knowledge is what creates lasting success. Great parenting requires balance. The best parents combine discipline, guidance, and genuine connection while recognizing that every child is different.

What if educating your people so well that they could leave was exactly the point? At Your Health, that's not a risk to manage — it's the philosophy that built an entire learning ecosystem. In this episode, Jamie talks with Aubrey Wall, who came to Your Health from a background in education and now leads Your Health University, the organization's learning management system and continuous-development engine. Aubrey brings an educator's eye to a fast-evolving healthcare environment, where best practice changes by the day and meeting patients where they are demands that staff never stop learning. Here's what you'll hear: Why a healthcare company runs 12-month, Department of Labor–registered apprenticeships — including programs in management, value-based care, population health, and hospice aide preparation How gamification is being built into nurse instruction (straight from Aubrey's dissertation research) The difference between Your Health University (your classroom) and the Hub (your resource library) How LinkedIn Learning delivered roughly $4.2 million in CEUs to staff last year Meeting Leah — the new AI assistant that helps employees find exactly the right course If you've ever believed growing your people is a cost rather than the whole point, this conversation will change how you think.

Margo is joined by Lauren Henkin, founder of The Humane Space, a mindfulness and lifelong learning app designed to boost wellbeing and reduce stress by sparking curiosity, wonder, and awe. In this conversation, Lauren shares her journey from architecture and fine art photography to tech founder, and how following her own curiosity led her to create a platform built on the belief that wonder, awe, and lifelong learning are just as essential to our wellbeing as physical health. Together, they explore the role curiosity plays in creativity, personal growth, and human connection. They discuss how our environments shape the way we think, why many modern systems discourage curious thinking, and what we lose when we outsource our voices and ideas to technology. Lauren also shares the values that guide The Humane Space, including intellectual integrity, collaborative creativity, and a commitment to creating content made by humans, for humans.
