Join Elvis and Barb at all these amazing shows coming up in 2026 * Vision 21 in Las Vegas Jan 15-17 https://www.nadl.org/nadl-vision-21 * Cal-Lab Association Meeting in Chicago Feb 19-20 https://cal-lab.org/ * LMT Lab Day Chicago Feb 19-21 https://lmtmag.com/lmtlabday * Dental Lab Association of Texas Meeting in Dallas Apr 9-11 https://members.dlat.org/ * exocad Insights in Mallorca, Spain Apr 30 - May 1 https://exocad.com/insights-2026 This week, we finally bring on a guest who has been six years in the making: the one and only Jordan Greenberg, the North America Managing Director of FOLLOW-ME! Technology (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/)—better known as the HyperDent (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/hyperdent/) guy. Jordan takes us on a wild ride through the world of CAM software, milling strategies, toolpaths, and the surprisingly fascinating story of how dental CAM even became what it is today. From his early days as a third-generation “dental nepo baby” to running a zirconia milling center with his dad, all the way to helping launch titanium-bar milling on Datron (https://www.datron.com/) D5 machines, Jordan's journey hits every corner of digital dentistry's evolution. He breaks down what CAM actually does in the simplest possible terms (yes, even Elvis-level simple), explains the magic behind toolpaths, tools, post-processors, and how HyperDent “drives the car” for hundreds of different mills. You'll hear how materials get validated, why some ideas labs come up with are physically impossible, and why you should ALWAYS talk to your CAM provider before releasing new materials or components into the world. Jordan also shares a behind-the-scenes look at solving problems like angulated screw channels, milling lithium disilicate pucks, and HyperDent's upcoming work on milled dentures—including Ivoclar's Ivotion processes coming to open CAM. Whether you mill every day or still think CAM is just “putting a crown in a puck,” Jordan demystifies it all with humor, honesty, and more tech insights than we've ever had on the podcast at once. * Dental Labs—The Ivoclar (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us) Flash Sale Is On! * From November 3rd to 14th, Ivoclar is bringing you unbeatable deals on the equipment that will set your lab up for success in 2026. * Upgrade your mill, your furnace, or expand your workflow—and save big while doing it! * Plus, when you purchase a milling machine (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/products/product-list?page=1&limit=12&filters=%5B%7B%22id%22%3A%22professions%22%2C%22advancedFilter%22%3Afalse%2C%22values%22%3A%5B%22Lab%22%5D%7D%2C%7B%22id%22%3A%22categories%22%2C%22advancedFilter%22%3Afalse%2C%22value%22%3A%22Digital%20Equipment%22%7D%5D), you'll get delivery, installation, and training—all included. That means your lab will be production-ready from day one. * But hurry—these savings vanish after November 14th! * Contact your Ivoclar sales rep today and power up your lab for the year ahead. Elvis and Barb are gearing up for their chat with the HyperDent Dude himself, Jordan Greenberg from FOLLOW-ME! Technology (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/). At LabFest, Elvis found out that every hyperDENT (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/hyperdent/) license comes with Template Editor Lite — a built-in feature that lets you make safe, customized tweaks to your milling strategies. Whether you want to prioritize surface quality or speed, this tool gives you the control to fine-tune your results while FOLLOW-ME! keeps everything validated and reliable. Because in the end, us lab techs love to tinker — and hyperDENT makes it easy to choose your own CAM-venture. Year-end chaos is here. Labs are slammed, deadlines are brutal, and mistakes are not an option. That's when dental technicians rely on the one thing that never quits: https://www.rolanddga.com/applications/dental-cad-cam. The DWX-53DC (https://www.rolanddga.com/products/dental/dwx-53dc-5-axis-dry-dental-milling-with-automatic-disc-changer) is a true workhorse—24-hour automated milling that keeps your lab running, your overhead down, and your ROI up.

SPI Logistics CFO James Lemon joins to cut through the noise on agent and brokerage finances in a tough market. We cover the real signals your brokerage is in trouble, what healthy margins look like now, how to set up your money from day one as an agent, and where AI is actually paying off (hint: 42% of SPI invoices now auto-approve without a human).You'll learn: — The first red flag: carriers calling about late pay—what it really means for your book of business — How slipping “days to pay” crushes carrier trust on DAT/Truckstop and pushes you back to the spot market — Today's margin reality (8–30%), why 15–18% is harder, and what to target — W2 vs. agent life: taxes, cash-flow risk, and the simple system to avoid the “surprise” tax bill — The overlooked first-year expenses (and the bare-minimum tech setup that won't choke under load) — Why a 30–60 day cash cushion matters when customers and vendor onboarding drag — AI that's worth it: document imaging, scheduling, and keeping a human in the loop — What shippers now expect: real-time visibility, API/EDI ties, and proof you're fighting fraud — Conferences and ROI: how one five-minute tool can pay for the trip — 2026 outlook: why disruption favors prepared agents who keep relationships tight and processes sharpFeedback?

Your gross margin might not be telling the truth. In episode #327, Ben Murray exposes the seven “dirty secrets” that distort SaaS gross margins — from incorrect COGS coding to missing allocations for shared resources and misclassified expenses. Whether you're a CFO, finance lead, or operator, you'll learn how to clean up your P&L and get accurate unit economics that reflect your true performance and valuation. What You'll Learn The 7 big offenders that make SaaS gross margins misleading. How to correctly code payment processing fees (Stripe, ACH, wire) under DevOps in COGS. The difference between internal-use software and third-party apps embedded in your product. How to classify customer success — adoption-focused vs. account management. Why demo and test environments must be allocated properly between departments. How to ensure fully burdened expenses (wages, taxes, benefits, bonuses) are coded correctly. The impact of co-mingled headcount on margins by revenue stream. Why department leaders belong in the departments they manage. Why It Matters For Founders: Clean accounting drives higher (or preserved) company valuation and investor confidence. For Finance Teams: Accurate COGS and gross profit ensure your SaaS metrics are reliable. For Operators: Clear expense allocation helps identify efficiency opportunities in support, services, and DevOps. For Investors: Properly structured financial systems and accounting practices make due diligence faster and cleaner. Key Takeaways Misclassified expenses can make your gross margin appear stronger or weaker than it really is. Always differentiate between OpEx and COGS — the foundation of credible financial modeling. Track margins by revenue stream (subscription, usage, services) for true business insight. Ensure your P&L reflects fully burdened costs per department — including contractors. Clean financial data = higher trust from investors and buyers. Resources Mentioned SaaS Metrics Foundation Course: https://www.thesaasacademy.com/the-saas-metrics-foundation Quote from Ben “Your P&L doesn't lie — but bad coding does. If your COGS and OpEx aren't clean, your gross margin isn't either.”

The battle of the bank BS is back. BNZ, who announced their profit last week, talked of the strong competition out there. But I note their margin went up, up, 6 points to 2.43%. So if there is so much competition, how come the margin is up? Then came the claim from the Reserve Bank among others that the big banks are being tardy when it comes to passing on the Reserve Bank cuts to us punters. Smaller banks are sharper. SBS claims they have hoovered up almost 6000 new customers as changing banks has become easier. Remember SBS last week put out their 3.99% money, limited to certain people, but a market leader nevertheless. Now tied into all of this is the retail bank's long held argument that the margin is higher because they need the cushion, because the Reserve Bank makes them store away too much money for troubled times. But, those rules are changing and changing in the retail bank's favour. In other words; less money required therefore, in theory, it should mean smaller margins. You can also put in there the simple truth that has always been in play - there is nothing stopping us shopping around. We have a good number of retail banks and they do do deals. I know because I've done deals. Some banks will shave decent margins to get your business. The trouble is a lot of us are too lazy to try and moaning is easier than hustling. So who is right? Are the retail banks tardy? Is it a major issue? Is Nicola Willis right when she says things, and by "things" we mean rules, need to change? I of course have long argued that Willis is too much hype and it's not all that bad. But I'm increasingly moving towards accepting I'm wrong. As the Reserve Bank points out as wholesale rates drop the margins have risen, and on latest numbers, keep rising. Maybe, God forbid, Adrian Orr was right when he used to come on this programme and lambaste the banks for making too many excuses. What I do know is the conditions are increasingly right, either through wholesale rates or the changes to reserve rules, for us to see the margins fall and for the cuts to be passed through in full, and faster. And the longer that takes to happen the more we need to see the big banks as a problem and bad actors in the economy. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Margins are tight, costs are up, and yet one of the biggest opportunities for hashtag#hotels might be right in the lobby — the bar and restaurant. I connected with Aaron Olson and Chris Manley of Crestline Hotels & Resorts to talk about how they're using food and beverage as a profit engine rather than a cost center — and why now is the time for operators to get creative. We break it all down on hashtag#NoVacancyNews, from mocktail menus to lighting, sound, service training, and Instagram-worthy presentation. Because even small improvements — 1 to 2 points of margin — add up fast when done across a portfolio.

George Tsilis tackles Thursday morning's earnings slate starting with Qualcomm (QCOM), which traded down after it showed pressure on margins. The pressure wasn't as strong as it was against CarMax (KMX), which hit 52-week lows after its CEO said he would step down as the company's sales lag. As for Fortinet (FTNT), George notes the sell-off following its earnings.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

What if you could transform a legacy law firm while staying true to your personal goals? In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, attorney Lauren Presser reveals the law firm growth strategies that transformed her practice, creating clarity, balance, and sustainable growth. After buying out her uncle's 50-year-old family firm in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Lauren partnered with Atticus to modernize every part of her practice. The result was a 35% increase in revenue within one year, without sacrificing her family time or her sanity. This is a compelling narrative of courage, mentorship, and strategic innovation in a traditionally static industry. Lauren's transformation began with a clear why: she wanted to be fully present for her children while leading a thriving practice. Every change she made flowed from that intention. With coaching and focus, she trained her legal assistants to lead initial consultations, replaced discounts with fixed-fee packages, and introduced structured scheduling: no walk-ins, time templates, and set client touchpoints. Lauren's story is a masterclass in law firm growth strategies that actually work. Her firm's culture evolved too. Lauren implemented a simple bonus structure built around three measurable KPIs, aligning her team and inspiring accountability. The result was a calm, collaborative environment where everyone knew what success looked like. Lauren's story proves that growth doesn't require burnout. By setting boundaries, empowering her team, and leading with purpose, she built a profitable firm that supports her life instead of consuming it. Her journey is a powerful example of what's possible when you pair intentional leadership with practical systems and a reminder that success at work means little if you miss the moments that matter most at home. In this episode, you will hear: Lauren Presser's transformation from associate to principal owner of a 50-year-old law firm Strategies for achieving a 35% revenue increase while maintaining work-life balance Implementation of fixed pricing models and bonus structures based on key performance indicators Overcoming challenges in a family-run firm and navigating systemic changes with the help of mentorship Strategic moves, such as relocating to a larger office space to accommodate a growing team Importance of setting boundaries to ensure personal well-being and professional success Empowering non-lawyers to conduct initial consultations and the benefits of adopting innovative business practices Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

This is Matt Reustle. Today we are breaking down Robinhood. My guest is Arthur Olson, founding partner at Ravenswood Partners. We get into how Robinhood grew from a mobile-native brokerage idea that faced many challenges along the way into the third-largest broker in the USA.  Arthur educates on how the business model has evolved and diversified away from a pure pay-for-order market. We discuss how product velocity is the foundation behind everything in Robinhood's continued penetration and how new talent has made a material difference.

We always hear about how little service workers are paid because restaurants operate on such thin margins. Jeremy Bradley calls BS on that. Why? "Explain $14 less-than-full glasses of wine when I can buy an entire bottle for $4 at Trader Joe's," he says. "I'm paying $7 for a side of fries that equals one potato. Would you ever pay $7 for one potato?" Yes, factor in the prep time (if potatoes are cut in-house), materials (oil, fryer, etc.) but isn't $7 a little extreme for a fried potato? On top of that, JB takes issue that he's expected to "reward" staff for walking back and forth to do their jobs when it comes to tipping. Later, he explains that he doesn't appreciate apps that solicit customers to tip before anything is even done with an order -- and manipulate customers with messaging like "orders with higher tips are often taken first" or "it's raining, tip generously." NMP, he says -- not - my - problem -- about workers earning low wages or driving in rain if they agreed to take the job.

Power is the new bottleneck, reasoning got real, and the business finally caught up. In this wide-ranging conversation, I sit down with Nathan Benaich, Founder and General Partner at Air Street Capital, to discuss the newly published 2025 State of AI report—what's actually working, what's hype, and where the next edge will come from. We start at the physical layer: energy procurement, PPAs, off-grid builds, and why water and grid constraints are turning power—not GPUs—into the decisive moat.From there, we move into capability: reasoning models acting as AI co-scientists in verifiable domains, and the “chain-of-action” shift in robotics that's taking us from polished demos to dependable deployments. Along the way, we examine the market reality—who's making real revenue, how margins actually behave once tokens and inference meet pricing, and what all of this means for builders and investors.We also zoom out to the ecosystem: NVIDIA's position vs. custom silicon, China's split stack, and the rise of sovereign AI (and the “sovereignty washing” that comes with it). The policy and security picture gets a hard look too—regulation's vibe shift, data-rights realpolitik, and what agents and MCP mean for cyber risk and adoption.Nathan closes with where he's placing bets (bio, defense, robotics, voice) and three predictions for the next 12 months.

S&P Futures are pointing lower this morning as investors digest a wave of earnings, Fed commentary, and geopolitical updates. Mega-cap tech continues to deliver strong margins, though Microsoft's softer PC outlook weighed on its guidance. Fed Chair Jerome Powell struck a hawkish tone in yesterday's press conference, signaling that a December rate cut is not a foregone conclusion. Meanwhile, U.S.–China talks wrapped up as expected, easing trade tensions with no surprises. We'll also touch on YouTube's expiring agreement with Disney, the FDA's push to streamline biologic drug testing, and the latest corporate movers — from GOOG and LLY to META, MSFT, and MRK. After the bell, all eyes turn to Apple, Amazon, Coinbase, Reddit, and Roku, with ABBV, CVX, and XOM set to report tomorrow morning.

#931 | Ed, Dharnish, and Daniel unpack Manchester United's three-match winning streak and the tactical shifts driving it. The conversation explores Ruben Amorim's evolving setup - the changing press and out-of-possession shape, the role of the front three, Luke Shaw's tweaked role, Bruno's excellence in midfield.

Death is the great equalizer, but not all deaths are created equal. In recent years, there has been an increased interest and advocacy concerning end-of-life and after-death care. An increasing number of individuals and organizations from health care to the funeral and death care industries are working to promote and encourage people to consider their end-of-life wishes. Yet, there are limits to who these efforts reach and who can access such resources. These conversations come from a place of good intentions, but also from a place of privilege. Too Poor to Die: The Hidden Realities of Dying in the Margins (Rutgers UP, 2025), is a collection of closely connected essays, takes the reader on a journey into what happens to those who die while experiencing homelessness or who end up indigent or unclaimed at the end of life.
