And today I wanted to just talk about how to help people feel valued. Like, I know that seems so cliche. I know you're like, great, but patience to team members, like, what are some of those secret sauces that just really make people feel that extra ump to feel that extra peace? Because honestly, patients don't leave because of bad dentistry. Patients leave because they don't feel seen, known, or valued. And I don't think it's about being overly nice.   I just think it's about being intentional. And so today I want to just kind of dive into something that's going to impact your patients, your team, your leaders. of just like little tips. What are some little ways? And I'll I'll do a patient side and I'll do a team side of how do you help people just feel valued, feel like humans? And the reason I want to bring this up is because I feel like this actually is a like, gosh, it's like the   Like the cheat code, if you will, to success right now. I feel like so many people are mean. I feel like so many people don't genuinely care right now. People are just not nice in the world anymore. And so to me, I'm like, this is the cheat code to success. This is one of the easiest ways for you to improve and to win in the patient experience, to improve and to win in the team retention experience. And it's one of those of like, how do we have a full journey and different little things to have? So   A lot of pieces that I'm gonna pull from are a book that I really enjoyed, Unreasonable Hospitality. If you haven't read it, read it. That one is one of my like go-tos that I think of often of how can I make magic moments for my patients and for my team. And that's really showing them and help them to feel valued. So a couple of things, and this ties to leadership and this ties to patient experiences. We've got to make sure that we're consistent, having consistency in how we lead, not having favorites, consistency in our patient experience. There was a book, gosh.   I can see the title of it. It's blue. You guys are gonna like write me an email and tell me what it is. But it was about this guy who went to the barber. And every time you go into the barber, it was a different experience. So, like the first time he got like a warm towel and a great shave. Then the second time he like got a shave, but not a warm towel, and then he got a drink. The third time, like towel, no shave, no drink. And he left. And I thought about it like.   Gosh, if you could just be consistent. I think about Starbucks. People say I go to Starbucks not because they have great coffee, but because I know it's always going to be consistent every time I go. And I think about this like people want that consistency. They want the experience to be consistent. They want their boss to be consistent. Like every single month we do one-on-one check-ins and I check in on you on your life and who you are. And we do morning huddles every day. Like things that can feel consistent with our patients. We have a warm handoff. Like it's   A handoff every single time where it just feels like we're a put together movie set, if you will. Like it's like we don't feel rushed. I remember I was in the ER for my appendix years ago. Yep. That was fun. That was a fun moment. And I remember the ER doctor just it felt like he was the nicest human in the entire world. I was not doped up on drugs. at the point, I was in a lot of pain still, but he was so nice to me. And my husband happened to like step out to go use the bathroom and   I remember he's like, Kiera, I saw that ER doctor and he was freaking running, like running. But as soon as he got to the door, he like put himself together, walked in, and was like calm as a cucumber. And I think for us in our patient experience, like we don't want to feel rushed. We don't want to feel like we are rushing through. You can be very efficient and consistent and help patients really feel very valued. So for example, we have a very consistent handoff from hygienist to doctor, where the patient's a part of it. We're not talking behind their head.   We're talking to them as a human, they're part of it. And like I call it the ICRP handoff. So introduction, compliment, recap the treatment already discussed, and do a personal note. This way the patient feels like you heard me, you listened to me. This hygienist has been actually taking care of me or dental assistants. Dental assistants are a little trickier, I get it. but if we say like, hey, Dr. Jones, this is Kiera, you met her last time. she's been doing an amazing job on her flossing. She's really, really ramped that up.   Just so you know, we already chatted. She knows she's got a couple of crowns probably on the upper right. She knows she needs to come back for that deep cleaning. and then she also knows that there's probably a couple of fillings on the lower left. And then just so you know, Dr. Jones, Kiera is headed off to Hawaii next month. and she's just we're so excited for that Hawaii trip. She's gonna absolutely love it. Well, now Dr. Jones can seem incredibly warm. Have a warm welcome, talk to me about Hawaii, compliment me on my flossing. Me as a patient, I instantly feel at ease and I feel like you love me.   You know me, you heard about me, you're going to take great care of me and you're genuinely interested in me. Then doctor does the exam. Doctor then wraps up with the next visit, the date, the time, the recare, making sure that's all done. Wishes me well on Hawaii because we've already made that easy connection. That could take five to seven minutes tops from start to finish. And that patient just felt like I had the most incredible experience with that doctor. I felt like the whole team is on board. Then that hygienist takes that front office team member up.   Or that patient up to the front office and they say, Hey, perfect, Dr. Jones on C Care back in two weeks. We're gonna start with the upper cro the upper right crowns. We're also gonna get her scheduled for that deep cleaning. Kiera, Sarah's amazing. She's gonna take incredible care of you. We've already got your cleaning scheduled for you. I can't wait to see you back in a couple of weeks. she's gonna take great care of you. Now Sarah picks it up and Sarah schedules me and perfect. Let's get you in with Dr. Jones. We'll make sure you're super taken care of. How was it today for you? All these different pieces for you.   Let's get you scheduled. We're gonna get you scheduled for that crown. Blah dah da. Gets me scheduled, sends me on my way. I have a great experience. That feels so consistent. And if that happens every single time where the doctor gets a handoff, the doctor handoffs to the hygienist, hygienist hands off to the front office or clinical team. We say it the same way. We have it. People feel like this experience was magical. They feel like, wow, they like really have their stuff put together. They feel very connected. They feel like they know me. I didn't feel rushed through the process.   You can be psychotic, rushed and behind, but that patient doesn't need to feel that because you are like that ER doctor where you are a duck on water and you're just paddling underneath, but you're taking care of all the pieces. And they're judging like patients and team judge the entire experience. So if we're talking about patients and helping them feel valued scene, practice these interactions. Practice how it is. We can practice how the new patient experience happens. Like, what do we say on the phone? How do we schedule them? What happens if it's ringing?   Also pay attention to when they walk in. Like, does someone greet them consistently every time? Do we have our coffee bar stocked all the time? Do we have like nice things all the time for them? Whatever our experience is, you don't have to go expensive. You don't have to have, but you just make it consistent for them where they can count on it and it feels welcoming. I will also do a hard, like no food at the front office. It drives me nuts. I can't tell you how many times I've walked in and they're eating, and I'm just like, stop it. I know you don't think it's that big of a deal, but it feels you're in a medical space. Stop that. Don't.   Front office, I used to be guilty of this. I had like my little snacks in the drawer. No, go to the break room, get your water in the back. Don't have clutter everywhere. Have it clean when they walk in. Make those patients feel like this is the best decision. It's clean. It's welcoming. Also, if you're on the phone, no problem. You can like wave to them. You can make eye contact with them. You can like point to the drinks. give them a little heart. Like you're so happy that they're there and so welcoming to them. When you answer the phone, smile.   Like every single time we smile, we're so happy to answer that phone. and to truly love them. And so if you do each of those little checkpoints, patients feel insanely valued. And then we pivot that to how do we make our team feel the same way? Let's have morning huddles where we do shout outs of core values. Let's have one-on-one check-ins with them every time. Let's every single day doctors like if you need to, I had a doctor set a compliment alarm where you genuinely compliment and say thank you. Not just a   Thanks for a great day. It's a, hey Kiera, thanks for rocking that root canal with me today. Like you crushed it. I couldn't do this without you. And I'm so grateful I can always count on you. Very intentional thank yous to your team members. Both sides of that equation make both people feel very valued. Doesn't take a lot of time. It's just very consistent. Other things I feel are just very confident on like next steps. And this ties to patients and team members. that's NDTR. Like, what is the next step at the end of my exam? Like,   What am I doing? Where are we going? How much time is this? That way patients aren't defaulting to like, I'm gonna think about this or whatever. Same thing with team members. If we've got one-on-one corrective action, like what is the next step? What is that process? Britt in our company, she does a lot of our operations in HR and she says clear is kind. And I think for both patients and team members to feel valued, to feel seen, what's clear? Like how do I make this as clear as possible? Clear is kind. So what are the next steps? Being very clear on our communication.   Making sure our treatment plans are clear, making sure we're asking what questions do you have, not do you have questions? Same thing with team members. Both of these are interchangeable. Like, here is the plan. What questions do you have for me? When we're rolling out a new training, what questions do you have for me? I'm going to send over the plan. This is what's expected of every person. These are the dates. These are the times. This is the expectation of what we're going to do. This way people feel certain. Certainty creates confidence and certainty creates value. People feel like   They're ready to go. Like confusion is the enemy of execution on either side. Confusion is where people feel anxious. People feel don't value. They don't feel seen. They don't feel loved. So how do we make everything with our patient experience and our team experience where we have clear communication, where it's drawn out, it's very much where people can just feel solid. You might not like the decisions, you might not like the treatment, but you're very clear. The communication was clear, the expectations were clear. Pieces were very, very clear for you. And then another piece is like,   Making sure we have genuine relationships, not just transactional relationships. So knowing people, like so if we have a big case, I'm really big on like calling those patients. There are pe places where you can have automated voicemails so it acts like you call them, but you don't actually have to call them. Medenta was fantastic at this. And you could just have a voicemail after a big case where it's like, hey, care, hey, like, hey, this is Dr. Jones. I'm just calling to check in and see how that appointment went for you. If you have any issues or any pain, please give me a call. I'm hoping that you're doing really, really well on all of this.   You don't even have to the patient's name, but it feels like you cared about them. what are check-ins? How can we check in to see how they're doing? like when patients come in, remembering little subtle things about them. So if care is going to Hawaii, we put it in our notes and we ask her, How is Hawaii when you come back in? Those little simple things create relationships. Same thing on the one-on-ones. If someone tells you that they're going on vacation, ask your team member how was that vacation? if it's their birthday or anniversary.   What ways can I foster the relationship? And to me, this is where I tie into unreasonable hospitality of how do I make magic moments for these people where they're like making meaningful moments in the everyday moments. So how do I help people feel seen, heard, and loved in both of them? So we don't just stop at checkout for our patients. We don't just stop after the one on one. We know them as humans. shout out to Tiff with her consultant team. She does Tiffany's connection time.   And she literally like meets with the consultants, talks to them, connects with them as humans. And I love that she calls it connection time because I feel like that's her building relationships. Connection time with your patients. How do I build those relationships? How do I remember who they are? How do I remember little things? I have a fee for service chiropractor. I love her every time. She's like, So you just got back from Kentucky? And I'm like, Yes. And she's like, How is like in your next trip? You guys are headed out to wherever? Like, I feel she knows me. She has a lot of patience.   But people want to be known, they want to be remembered, they want to be seen for birthdays and anniversaries, like big small big team, small team. How do you make that person feel seen, valued, heard? How do you do the small daily things where you're looking out, you're sending out thank yous? you guys compliment each other? Do you guys have a shout-out jar where you guys call out on each other? What can you do to make sure that there's strong bonds and relationships? Because people don't leave offices because of   usually money, sometimes they do, but typically it's due to a lack of a relationship, a lack of a bond. Tip told me she said, cure the reason I've been with you for almost a decade. Shout out to the TT Spiffy Tiffy over there. she's like it's because of the relationship we have. And I think about that and I know it can feel like as our team's getting larger, this is something I'm often questioning of how do I make sure team members feel seen, valued and heard. And I will say as a CEO, one of the things I do and as an office manager,   Gosh, I hope my team doesn't listen. I don't, I'm not perfect at this, but I do have a list of every team member and I actually hand write letters to them and I'll mail them to them. or if I know something's going on for them, I will make it a point to either ask about it or make sure I help out with certain things with them. I'm not perfect at it, but I do feel like when people feel seen, valued, and heard, we always for their birthdays, we have in a survey and we send them their absolute favorite things. And every time, and we send them a gift, we send them something personal for them.   when I know someone's got a rough day, we'll just send over a little treat. You don't have to have a lot of money, you just have to have intentionality. And this goes to patients and it goes to team members. If you know someone's birthday's coming up, like so many times I I check in at places and it's my birthday, and people get my ID. They type in my birthday and they don't say it. Like, could you just look ahead and see whose birthday's coming up? How could I like could we celebrate? Anyone whose birthday is in June or July? Tell your patient happy birthday.   If you see something that they did, how do you just build the relationship so it's not transactional? It's very much feels like a it feels like you know them, that you love them. And I would say that comes from genuinely loving people, from genuinely wanting them to feel valued, genuinely wanting to make a magic moment for them, getting excited. There's a doctor in Georgia that's on our team, and he got so giddy. He just got so giddy. He's like, Here, I'm putting together the holiday party for them. And   He like goes all out and he like spent all night decorating and he just got so giddy. And I love working with him. I love learning from him because to have that genuine joy and curiosity and excitement and love for your team, it filters into then how you say thank you to them. And I think it's seeing teams and patients. Do you see them as liabilities or do you see them as assets? Do you see them as value ads or soul sucking?   and the way you view them is how you're going to treat them and you're going to create more of that. So I might encourage you of just looking to see how we can do that. So just a couple of things, just as a quick recap for you, is making sure you are consistent, making sure you have clear communication, clear as kind, and really truly trying to build that relationship with them. and I think if you can can just again.   To me, these are the sprinkles on a cupcake. You've already got the cupcake, you've already got the frosting. I feel like the sprinkles really are what make the pop, the pizzazz, the the what makes you stand out from the other offices. All the other offices have a cupcake and they got frosting. Maybe some offices only have cupcake. Like they do dentistry. You need dentistry and you at least have some of the pieces. But to me, this is where I feel like value comes from sprinkles. And I think it in the analogy of this cupcake, the cupcake's the core. That's their job, that's their coming to the dentist. The frosting is   I don't know, probably their management and their clinical care. the sprinkles to me are what are going to set you apart and what people are going to remember. And I love the analogy because the cupcake is the largest, the frosting is smaller, and the sprinkles are really just the accent pieces. but it's crazy. I had a designer come out, we were doing some fun things and she's like, Kiera, it's crazy because the little things, like she literally like had a bowl and   rolled the napkins and like the placemats and put them in the bowl rather than just like I was gonna just stack them. And she's like, Kiera, those small little details are what make people feel like this is a home and it's cozy and it's warm versus like sloppy and not put together. And I thought about that and I'm like, it's those sprinkles that make people feel valued or make them feel like they're just a transaction or just a number on the page. And so I would I would encourage you to figure out like what sprinkle of these ones that we talked about can you do to make your patients and your team feel more valued.   Again, it's not more and I know I said more valued, but I think it's just intentionally valued where it's not doing more, it's being intentional. It's changing of how I do it. Can I be intentional on my thank yous at the end of the day? Can I be more intentional on my communication with them so everything's clear and mapped out for them? Can I have it where I have a consistent experience for my patients every single time? can I look to build the relationship a bit stronger and write?   a thank you card. It could take six months, guys. Like I'm not saying it's every single month. Like I have a list and I work through it and then I go back and is there a way where I can maybe change our birthdays and our anniversaries? Our team does videos for everyone and I know it's like we have so many. They come up so often. But to get like that takes 30 seconds from our teammates to make somebody feel valued and important and special. Those to me are the sprinkles. 30 seconds out of an entire eight hour day is so minimal. And yet   That's sprinkle on your cupcake. So where can you add the sprinkles? Where can you add the value? Teams deserve it. You deserve it. And I believe that this is the greatest way to like truly it's the secret sauce to win, to win, to hire and retain people, to bring in patients that feel valued, to feel seen, to feel loved. We're all looking to see how we can compete with others and how we can have a cutting edge. And I would say, like, add the sprinkles, add the sprinkles, stand out just a bit stronger. Everyone else has the cupcake. Most people have the frosting. Not all have the frosting.   But if you've got the cupcake and the frosting, add those sprinkles, help people feel valued. And if you're struggling with this, or you're like, gosh, that's just not my thing. As I said, we give doctors the the to-do of you put a compliment alarm on your on your phone and you do that. this is where I love to help people go to the next level to optimize, to scale, to have structure, but in a way that's not necessarily production scale.   But in happiness scale and fulfillment scale, which ultimately is going to lead to higher production, higher profitability. So reach out. I'd love to chat with you. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. Go make it a magical day. Go spread some sprinkles. Go share. Go love. Go genuinely enjoy what you get to do every single day. It won't be forever that you get to do this. So let's make it magical. Let's make it impactful. And let's make it meaningful with helping people feel seen, valued, and loved. And as always, thanks for listening. And I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.

Pieces (1982) Director: Juan Piquer Simón Cast: Christopher George, Lynda Day George, Paul L. Smith, Ian SeraIf you've ever wanted to watch a chainsaw-wielding maniac assemble a human jigsaw puzzle on a Boston college campus while the cops shrug and grab a Baconator — brother, have we got a movie for you. This week on Dewey Pod Monster, we're diving headfirst into Pieces (1982), the Spanish-shot, American-set slasher that somehow makes police incompetence, waterbed murders, and a random Bruce Lee cameo feel like a completely coherent cinematic experience. It is not. And that is exactly why we love it.In this episode, we discuss:"We Don't Have Enough Evidence" — The cops in this movie find a guy standing over vacuum-sealed body parts holding a blood-soaked chainsaw and still let him walk. We spend an embarrassing amount of time screaming about the jaw-dropping investigative ineptitude on display throughout the entire film.The Least Sexy Nudie Puzzle — From Little Timmy getting revenge on his mother in the first three minutes to the film's gloriously unhinged finale involving a reanimated corpse and a crotch grab, we break down why Pieces commits completely to its own deranged logic and why that's actually kind of beautiful.Had Me, Then You Lost Me — We debate the ending. Hard. One of us thinks the ball-grab freeze frame is a bridge too far. The other thinks you don't get to complain about subtlety in a movie where someone hides a running chainsaw behind their back in a two-person elevator. You'll have to listen to find out who's who.The Random Karate Professor Problem — Bruce Lee (not that Bruce Lee) shows up out of nowhere, does karate at Lynda Day George, says something about bad chop suey, and disappears forever. We explain how this actually happened and why the director thought it fit the movie "perfectly." He was wrong. It's also perfect.We Also Talked About:Enemies of the People (2009) (Youtube) — A deeply affecting documentary about the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia, told through the filmmaker's personal quest to confront the people who murdered his family. Heavy watch. Essential.Untold UK: Vinnie Jones (Netflix) — John refuses to look at Vinnie Jones. Sean watched it anyway. We get into it.Racquet (1979) (Fawesome) — Lynda Day George shows up in not one but TWO tennis movies. Her on-screen tennis skills remain aggressively unconvincing in both.Beavis and Butt-Head (Latest Season) (Amazon) — John checks in on America's favorite degenerates and reports back. Some things never change, and thank god for that.Scary Movie (2000) (Pluto.tv) — The original. The blueprint. John revisits the Wayans brothers' horror spoof and has thoughts about whether it holds up and how it stacks up against what came after.Honor and Glory (1993) (Youtube) — Godfrey Ho. That's really all you need to know. John takes a trip into the legendary cut-and-paste filmmaker's catalog and emerges changed, confused, and somehow wanting more.Some of the above links are affiliate links — if you purchase through them we get a small kickback, and it's the best way to support the show.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week.

Send us Fan MailSony's decision to end physical PlayStation game releases in 2028 is sending shockwaves through the gaming industry—and retailers are beginning to fight back. Video Games Plus has published an open letter urging Xbox to make physical media part of Project Helix, giving Microsoft a rare opportunity to reverse the embarrassment of its 2013 Xbox One reveal and position itself as the console that still supports consumer choice.We also examine why European regulators say they cannot force Sony to continue manufacturing discs, how an all-digital PlayStation ecosystem could create new antitrust problems, and why eliminating physical games affects far more than collectors. Used-game pricing, lending, preservation, independent retailers and competition with the PlayStation Store could all disappear with the disc.Gaming Gone Wild features four unbelievable stories: a suspected burglar allegedly targeting two Santa Fe game stores, the tragic death of a Tennessee mother who traveled to meet someone connected through online gaming, a man arrested months after allegedly shooting his neighbor eight times following a stolen PlayStation 5 dispute, and 15 young people taken into custody after a social-media trend encouraged break-ins at Urban Air locations.Dude, I Got the Munchies includes Costco Mini Croissant Donuts, Blue Bell Chocolate Lava Cake Ice Cream, Dolly Parton Cookies 'N Custard desserts, the return of Ore-Ida Crispers, Pringles can-sized flavored hot dog buns and Reese's Pieces with a new chocolate-cookie center.Our Game of the Week is Ascend to ZERO, the fast-paced, time-bending action roguelike from Flyway Games and KRAFTON. We break down its 30-second survival loop, time-freezing combat and wildly escalating RPG progression before closing the show with another round of Choose Your Fate.Support the show

Hi, I’mWeston After providing over 15,000 hours in session and speaking, I recognize that… “You're much stronger and more empowered than you think you are…” My Story Stop Worshipping Your Mind: Let Desire Lead You Back to Oneness How Letting Go of Linear Thinking Unlocks Clarity, Flow, and Creation This channeling explores that true understanding does not come from linear thinking, but from stepping beyond the mind's need to categorize and control. Your dreams, desire, and consciousness are expressions of a unified flow, where everything is interconnected. By releasing attachment to a personal perspective and embracing desire as a creative force, individuals you can experience oneness, wholeness, and deeper fulfillment. The message emphasizes that creation, connection, and inner completeness arise naturally when one aligns with this state of unity. In this episode, you'll learn: How moving beyond linear thinking allows you to understand reality as a unified whole rather than fragmented parts. Why dreams and consciousness feel confusing when filtered through the mind's need to categorize and control. How desire acts as a powerful creative force that connects you to deeper states of flow, purpose, and participation. What it means to experience oneness, and how releasing attachment to personal perspective leads to clarity and fulfillment. Align With Your Desire and Create EVERYTHING Stop Worshipping Your Mind: Let Desire Lead You Back to Oneness Full transcript: Channeled by Weston Jolly: “In the night, all things start to come together. Pieces and places and things all align in a single place enabling you that you might understand that dreams are not a dimension. Everything your mind conceives has to be done in layers or categories. This is why you often take things apart to “try and understand“ how things work. To truly see is without linear stacks, layers, stages or categories. Everything unites as one. This is why you perceive dreams hard to understand. Because you are accustomed to things being presented in a linear fashion in which you can process. Understand —that it is —through the limits of the mind. In order to really understand the nature of anything, that we have created, you are asked to remove yourself. This means your perspective which is made and authored by your mind. For you to clairvoyantly see, you must remove the thought of linear progression. Everything will be presented. There's nothing to sort or analyze if you see how everything goes together. To be enriched with knowledge, you must step away from your dependency on your mind. Your ability to process“that which is” isn't done through the singular channel of the mind. Trying to tame the mind or to keep it in control to discipline is just another false God to worship. If you understand and truly comprehend, you are enabled. This knowingness makes you whole and complete. To be whole and complete you must step away from your dependency on that “what you think.”To be at one is at but a start, or entry point, or a portal to oneness. Just knowing that you are a part of something more or connecting a few perceived puzzle pieces isn't enough. To be one is to understand Unity. Unity isn't a place, or destination either, it's a flow. You can be at one, participate as one, and as you do, you are in the zone – the flow. This flow is for everyone, but it isn't done through force by pushing or pulling. To be at one is a conjoining. The opposite is created when you take a position against yourself, by thinking that your perspective needs to be recognized, heard or even pushed on to others. This kind of behavior is the opposite of oneness and should be recognized as such. To realize the inner connections and to see and know how everything goes together is a gift. We will share it now as a means to demonstrate your being enabled and whole. The example we seek to share is a common one that will enable you to fullness. This state is the beginning. In physics, it could be referred to as the energy to a start the movement. This energy is within desire. This is why desire is such an important part of who you are because without desire there's no flow. To participate, you must have a desire. All of your desires are personal, with some being portals of invitation. This is why certain ideas or mission statements are inviting, and you gather, or participate in a desire to be at one with the thing you wish to create. Your energy, collectively, as it is individually, is beyond powerful. This power, or energy, is the essence of all creation. Because of its power, it can, and does, create as much as it can destroy. This is also a part of your desire to participate on this Earth plane or this layer, or as some of you think of it as a dimension. This dimension as you reference it, represents a collective desire to create in the perceived rules or limitations of the category, layer or dimension. Some of you are called, feeling that there is more, and because of your desire this is why we are sharing. Anyone that desires more must connect through the portal of desire to be full or enabled. This fullness means that you bring a portion of life force energy to participate and contribute. This life force energy is clearly omnipresent and yet the masses “in this plane“ can't see or understand it. This because it is greater than the individual life force energy. Your desire to create is fully a part of who you are. It has always been, and it always will be. Some think that they need to be stimulated by the breath of inspiration, which if you recognize it – is our desire. To inspire you to connect not only into the infinite powers of knowingness, but to participate in a state of oneness. This is recognized as a selfless state. You giving your time, resources and energy is desired, pun intended, because it enables you to a state of wholeness. If this is your desire, then it is yours to experience. You are whole and you are complete. You are more than the pieces that you “sometimes” see. To understand fully, follow us down this path of creation that starts with desire. In your to desire is to be whole -you are. In your desire to be one – you are. If you desire to be separate – you are. There is magic in your desires and this is reinforced within your physical embodiment because creating, creating anything, it is something that is programmed to feel good. This is true for both sides of the polarity; to create something or to destroy something. Each can and does create feelings that it is easily perceived as fun to create as it is to destroy. To fuel creation is to fuel oneness. All oneness is created through our desire. And this is why you participate in being inspired to do something, or to be a part of something, that you're called to engage in. This is shared for you to recognizing a desire, and you are being encouraged to participate. Every choice and decision that you make comes to this very simple place; will you enable yourself, through connection, to be at one? For those who recognize this desire, which again is ours, then you follow the vibrations, the sounds or the energy to this truth. This path will always enable you to fullness. This is seen in true happiness and joy. To be connected is a gift that is extended to you, and through desire, it is one that is eternal as well. In time, you remember you can do both concurrently, to be full or complete comes as result of connecting through desire. The reason that you feel and choose to unhappy, sad, or in pain is to see and experience this path of separation. To be happy and full is to realize the unlimited nature of your being and exercising your desires, which are our desires, in full. This implies that you know what our desires are – and if you don't remember – we have already stated it in this message. It is our desire for you to recognize the oneness in which you are a part of. This oneness is for everyone and it doesn't come at an expense as you perceive it. You are in a path to wholeness and oneness now just in your participation to excel in the openness to be at one. There's no greater gift you can give yourself, or another, than this desire of oneness. To really understand the depth of what we are sharing, you must exist on a different plane, vibration, or frequency, as you “think” of it. While these linear thoughts of separation aren't really accurate or true —ultimately it is a choice that is initiated by your desire to be at one. Concentrate. Focus. Be clear. What is it that you really desire? Do you hope to love in a way that isn't yet experienced? Is this your desire? If this resonates, then you know something is missing. You find yourself feeling lonely, sad, separate and often desperate to take whatever you can get. Which is always a lower vibrational choice to accommodate to what you don't really want. To be full and complete is to recognize the fullness within you. And of course, you can't do this if you believe and act in the state of separation. To be full, complete and enabled is always done beyond yourself. Call upon us and let your desires be fulfilled. Realize that you are not alone and that you are complete. Exemplify the love that is ours, as it is yours in your desire to share our desire with others, who seek, by their choice, to be whole and complete. You are whole and enabled. As you see yourself so you are. And in this choice, assuming it's your desire, you are complete, empowered and are able to create anything. Isn't this what you desire? The answer is always “yes”, because you are created in our image. And as so you are Creators. Enable yourself to create, to be at one and to be whole and complete.” WRITE A REVIEW It only takes a few minutes.  Your comments and review truly assist others in becoming a part of our spiritual community.

Craig visits Greg in person! They discuss nood lighting, nap science, Andy Kaufman's tall desk, meth pods, Matthew McConaughey on Friends, Reese's Pieces, and the limp hand ear touch that changed the world.

Pieces of Gold! Ten hours of uninterrupted sounds featuring "pieces" of the Golden Record, a floating time capsule carrying evidence that Earth existed. Included in this episode are Greetings from Earth (sans Waldheim), Sounds of Earth, Ann Druyan's brain waves, and space-age drifts and notes. Whether you're studying, working, reading, sleeping, or unwinding after a long day, this immersive ambient soundscape provides the perfect background soundtrack. No talking, no interruptions—just pure interstellar relaxation. Ignore the World. (And subscribe to uncommon ambience!)_____Ok, so I'm not a St. Patrick's guy. I lived in Boston and once got talked into doing it “the Boston way”—actually, I'm sure I imposed myself, whatever. “The Boston Way” was billed to me as “Christmas for adults.” So I took the day off with a bunch of other marginally Irish folks and wound up in a line at 9 a.m. That's the majority of what I remember, as I awoke the next afternoon on a wood-paneled floor, my shoe as a pillow. Apparently I tapped out earlier than everyone else. Some had capped the night at a Chinese restaurant that served tea that wasn't actually tea—it was just more beer.All of which is to say, now that I drink NA stuff, I'm no longer wearing green on St. Patrick's Day. (I still think the Irish are cool.)It's the same with our most recent holiday. There are things I love about my home on this planet, but I'm not going to make a big deal about them because a holiday insists. I wore a RZA T-shirt to watch the fireworks.Look, maybe we had an episode last week that didn't properly revere America... That doesn't mean we don't love any Americana. The hot dog, maple syrup, Waffle House, South Carolina hash and rice (obviously writing this while hungry), the #2 pencil, baseball caps, and the Wu-Tang Clan, to name a few. And one of my favorite pieces of Americana is an obscure record produced by Timothy Ferris (and team). A record that is not on our planet and is only getting farther and farther away: the Golden Records affixed to the Voyager satellites.(Just ordered a pizza, if anyone is wondering... And I plan to dip that **** in ranch...)I've wanted to do a Golden Record episode for a while. My hope was to loop the beach moments and create a nice intergalactic day at the beach, because summer (HUZZAH). Yet the Sounds of Earth follow a brisk pace of interweaving—I think the beach scene is only 5–10 seconds. (A loop like that could earn me a one-star—Btw, 5 us!)So I decided to extend the brainwave portion as a base and weave in the entire run length of Greetings from Earth and Sounds of Earth.I left out the music stuff so as not to get into any terrestrial copyright trouble. I mean, they gave the universe free access...Shout out to Chuck Berry—I know he was a guitar god, but his voice was one of my favorite attributes. And I think his inclusion as an emissary of our planet (on the Golden Record) is deserved.And as usual with me there's a hip-hop origin to this week's episode, which was inspired by the podcast Pieces of Sound Pieces from Stones Throw Records.

The rapid expansion of AI‑driven knowledge work is exposing a growing tension: teams are moving faster across more surface areas, but their context is fragmented across tools, personal systems, and ad‑hoc workflows.   In this episode, Tsavo Knott, CEO and co‑founder at Pieces, examines how the shift toward AI‑native individual contributors requires a unified substrate for capturing and retrieving operational context, and how this enables more effective coordination between humans, agents, and cross‑functional teams with host Daniel Faggella, Emerj CEO and Head of Research.   He highlights the practical implications for leaders, from standardizing how context is recorded to enabling context‑router roles that keep decisions and execution aligned at the speed modern AI workflows demand.   This episode is sponsored by Pieces.

Sharon comes together with Mark Epstein to remember the life of dear friend and colleague, Robert AF Thurman, for episode 290 of the Metta Hour. Robert AF Thurman (August 3, 1941 – June 16, 2026) was an American Buddhist author and academic who wrote, edited, and translated books on Tibet, Buddhism, art, politics, and culture. He was the first Westerner to be ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist monk by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and was the Je Tsongkhapa Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies at Columbia University before retiring in 2019. He was the co-founder and president of Tibet House US in New York, New York, and Menla Retreat in Phoenicia, New York. In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, there is a 49-day period of mourning after an individual dies, which is considered a transitional “bardo” time. This is a time to honor the individual and support them as they transition into their incarnation through ceremonies, offerings, and prayers. In that spirit, Sharon and Mark Epstein come together to share stories and reflections about Bob after his unexpected death. Mark Epstein, M.D., a psychiatrist in private practice in New York City, is the author of a number of books about the interface of Buddhism and psychotherapy, including “Thoughts without a Thinker” and “Going to Pieces without Falling Apart.” His latest work, “The Zen of Therapy,” was published in 2022 by Penguin Press. He has been a student of Vipassana meditation since 1974.This episode also includes an excerpt of an archival recording of Sharon interviewing Bob from 2021. Originally aired on the Metta Hour in celebration of Bob's book “Wisdom is Bliss,” this recording includes some classic zesty-Bob-banter with Sharon, as well as some wonderful teachings. The recording closes with Bob leading a guided meditation."When we opened the Insight Meditation Society in 1976, we discovered we had a near neighbor, about 40 minutes away in Amherst, MA: Professor Bob Thurman. I've felt so lucky to know him as a friend, to have the chance to teach with him through the years, and to collaborate with him on a book, “Love Your Enemies.” Though he was widely known as a dedicated scholar, I was always most struck by Bob as a person of faith in the best sense of the word— faith in each of our potential, in the very real possibility of freedom, in the blessings of lineage and the enormous gifts of people like HH Dalai Lama to the world. Before the sudden, unexpected news of his passing, I noted how much content he was putting on his Substack, what seemed to me almost like a drive to help as many people as he could, to remind us all of hope in these very troubled times. His impact on so many people and the light he spread is so clear right now." - SharonPlease join us as we celebrate and honor a dear friend and dharma teacher who filled our lives with such joy, wisdom, and laughter.Additional ResourcesLearn more about Robert AF Thurman's life and work right here.

As strange as it sounds, this story carries a powerful warning for every believer: the sins we tolerate today can become the strongholds that take us down tomorrow. Through the story of Saul's slow drift from God, we see how compromise rarely happens all at once. It starts small, grows quietly, and eventually leads to consequences we never intended. But no matter how far you've wandered, God offers the power to cut them off at the source and walk in freedom again.This message will help you:– identify the small compromises that can quietly pull you away from God– recognize the difference between partial obedience and full surrender– break free from destructive habits and recurring struggles– walk in victory through the strength of the Holy SpiritContinue watching in House of David Season 1, Episode 1, streaming on Amazon Prime Video.NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon't miss a video!

[Please consider viewing the YouTube video of these interviews instead of merely listening to them! Seeing the participant's faces will enhance the experience of hearing their stories!]In this third segment of the series on TCKs and Neurodiversity, we meet eleven adult TCKs and get the chance to learn directly from them about how their lives have been shaped by autism, OCD, ADHD, and other brain differences. They honestly and compellingly answer questions about the assets and blessings of their diagnoses, about what they've learned and how they're finding ways to live well in a world that often isn't built for them. They also outline what they wish they'd known sooner, and offer nuggets of hard-won wisdom to other TCKs who are neurodivergent.All three installments of this series—in podcast, video, and written forms—are now available from the same page.

Imagine setting fire to half your art budget before lunchtime. Seven hot air balloons grounded in a field. Fourteen speakers. The Birmingham Symphony Orchestra waiting to be paid. And a city council expecting you to reach a hundred thousand people by the end of the week. That is the kind of corner Luke Jerram has found himself in. And it is also the corner that produced Play Me, I'm Yours - pianos in the street for anyone to play. Two thousand of them. Seventy cities. Welcome to Extraordinary Creatives. I'm Ceri Hand. Follow the show so episodes like this land in your feed every week. Luke Jerram is the artist behind Museum of the Moon, Gaia, Helios, Park and Slide, Sky Orchestra, and Glass Microbiology. His work has been seen by tens of millions of people. Close to a thousand exhibitions across forty countries. Pieces held in over eighty permanent collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and the Wellcome Collection in London. And he has built all of this from a studio in Bristol, with a team around him, without gallery representation. In this conversation you will hear how he funds projects nobody has made before, why he turned down Red Bull and Coca-Cola, and what he calls stamina of dissatisfaction - the last five percent that lifts a piece from good enough to worthy of people's attention. I hope you find this as inspiring as I did. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most artists make a piece, show it once, and move on. Luke lives with a piece across a hundred installations and refines it. That last 5% of refinement makes the work land, turns it into something enduring that funds the next project and the next. Being an artist is a marathon, not a sprint. A diverse practice takes longer to build. But that willingness to keep reinventing yourself creates adaptability. Don´t underestimate your ability to solve problems and learn from failure. It´s up to us to decide on the rules we play by. BEST MOMENTS “I like creating artworks that leave space for other people to be creative.” “If you knew you had to be rejected 100 times before you were a millionaire, you'd be really excited to get your first rejection, wouldn't you?” “There's no such thing as luck. You've got to be ready … when the phone call comes … make it easy for them to say yes.” For the text version of the topics, we cover each week in the Beat the Block Shorty episodes, straight to your inbox, head to http://cerihand.com/subscribe.

Aurelio shares how post-COVID screen time affected student engagement, anxiety, loneliness, and the way young people compare themselves to curated online “highlights” instead of real life. He also explains why AI can be a powerful tool for students and educators when it supports human connection, not replaces it. They discuss what happens when AI gets things wrong, why families and schools need to teach students to verify information and gut check outputs, and how districts can protect student privacy while still preparing kids for an AI-driven future.
