By listener request, we're talking about our personal file organization and storage layouts this week, with a focus on our desktop computers--including how we use our OS-level home folders, whether to interact with the root system drive or not, and how much data we even keep on those machines these days--and also how we attempt to organize media, archives, backups and more on our home servers. Plus, a check-in on the state of Windows backup tools. Is it actually possible to avoid the dreaded Nth-level nested "old desktop" folder?

Jack saves the worst news for last in this episode featuring tech journalist Florence Ion. Microsoft is increasing the price of its entire Xbox line, including its consoles and peripherals. Jack and Flo lament that it's only going to get worse, thanks to an ever-volatile economy. READ MORE: Microsoft Raises the Price of All Xbox Series Consoles, Xbox Games Confirmed to Hit $80 This Holiday Elsewhere, with Soundgarden being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Jack introduces Flo to guitarist Jason Everman. A decorated veteran of the U.S. Army and Special Forces , Everman was not only a brief member of Soundgarden, but also a one-time member of Nirvana. Jack wonders if Everman feels any jealousy or resentment for being in two bands that have since been admitted to the Hall of Fame, and not being inducted as a member of either. READ MORE: The Rock 'n' Roll Casualty Who Became a War Hero Also discussed in this episode: Jack is the reason Flo uses Threads, because Jack is a big deal there. Flo is a big fan of physical media preservation, and schools Jack on the benefits of running a Plex server. As it turns out, in the year of our Flying Spaghetti Monster 20-and-25, Flo and Jack are equally into Tamagotchi. Hot take: Seth McFarlane has a lot of anger about Charles Schulz' Peanuts cartoons, and takes it out in Family Guy cutaway gags.

Keith shares some historical perspective on inflation highlighting the cost of a Taco Bell meal in 1999 to its cost today. He also touches on the concept of service inflation, where services like mail delivery and self-checkout at grocery stores have become less convenient but not cheaper. Keith reviews the historical performance of real estate during the last eight recessions, noting that housing prices usually rise during recessions. He explains the concept of the Inflation Triple Crown: asset price inflation, debt debasement, and cash flow enhancement. Housing prices usually rise during recessions, as demonstrated by historical data. Resources: To learn more about the Inflation Triple Crown go to: getricheducation.com/itc.

This is get rich education. Keith Weinhold 1:35 Welcome to GRE from Hartsdale, New York to Springdale, Utah and across 488 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold. I think you know that by now, you are inside one of America's longest running and most listened to real estate investing shows. This is get rich education. Most people have two plans. Plan a get rich. If that doesn't work out, the alternative is Plan B, which is hate rich people. We are firmly rooted in plan a for you here. So yes, we're about building your wealth, but ultimately we are a lifestyle improvement show. I'm going to get to high inflation and the potential for a recession or depression in just a minute. But I recently got a reminder on the fragility of life and its finite nature. My oldest friend recently died. He was almost like a mentor to me, a friend of mine's grandmother recently died, shattering her world, and it's a reminder that you won't be remembered for the money that you make. You won't even be remembered the real estate portfolio that you build. I mean, that surely won't last. The tennis that you serve, they'll die as well. I will be forgotten. This show will be forgotten. The people that love you, their opinions will die with them. Your Haters, their opinions will die with them. You can confirm that this is true right now by naming your eight great grandparents for me, there. Go ahead. You can't do it. I can't either. So what can you do, at least in this finite life that you have on earth? What you can do is enjoy your existence. The good news is, because you can control this, you can control enjoying your life and existence as get rich education is ultimately a lifestyle improvement show, and we are squarely helping you do that right here. And one way that I've done that over the years is by pointing out how inflation is actually advantageous to real estate investors. Well, it impoverishes most people. You're initiated on that by now. That's something that you really found out tangibly back during the pandemic. Now today, though, wow, people are frightened. I've got some contemporaneous material to share with you today, but I'll give you some lessons so that even if you're listening to this 10 years from now, you're going to learn some lessons. Americans inflation expectations for the next five years. They just hit the highest level since 1993 Yeah, expecting a lot of inflation, tariff pressures are a huge concern now. Last week, inside our newsletter, I sent you something that gave you some perspective on inflation. I sent you a photo of a Taco Bell receipt from 1999that might have left your mouth agape if you didn't see it. I'll tell you about it here and expand on this. And yes, it could leave you aghast, stupefied, gobsmacked, or even flabbergasted. In a sense, 1999 was not that long ago. It's sure not like ancient history. I mean, I was alive then, yes, I am here, and I'm from the 1900s. Well, this 1999 Taco Bell receipt that someone found perfectly preserved in the pages of a book. It shows a complete meal that was purchased for $3.50 it was actually just $3.26 and then the rest was tax added in. That's 350 for a chili cheese burrito, a taco nachos and a 16 ounce Pepsi. That's not the price for each item. That is the combined total from 1999 All right, how much do you think those same items would cost today? I don't eat there. I went to the Taco Bell website and found out. I mean, what an inflation measuring stick. This is what cost, 350 A Taco Bell in 1999 costs $11.44 today I use the same sales tax rate to come up with that. So today it's 1144 and today they also ask you a question a Taco Bell, if you want to round up for the kids or something like that, and then just watch, pretty soon, they're gonna request a tip too. That's a 327% price increase, and few people's wages have risen that much since 1999See, I told you that you would be left slack job and flabbergasted. All right, so let's look at where we are today. Now it's not an apples to apples comparison, but you know, Taco Bell is a fast food restaurant. Let's look at the price of a consumer item at a sports stadium today. All right, because both are places that everyday Americans frequent college basketball's March Madness tournaments have been taking place the last few weeks. Well, for the first time ever, the SEC is selling beer at its tournament. The price for one large premium draft beer is $17.50 so before tax or tip, 1750 for one beer all in that might be $20 or more, and I doubt that the beer is really that premium. I mean, you know what kind of beer you get at stadiums. So we look at inflation, one beer today is at least five times the cost of a complete Taco Bell meal in 1999 that's price inflation, and that's the stuff that's highly perceptible. Okay, you've been seeing that effect all of your life. It's making most people poorer. It's making real estate investors wealthier. And then there's the inflation that few people consider the less perceptible stuff, service inflation. And what are some examples of service inflation growing up the postal service delivered mail right to my parents porch, and they still do deliver mail right to my parents porch. Their neighborhood was built more than 100 years ago, but look, when new neighborhoods are built today, like places I've lived and perhaps where you live now, the postal service doesn't deliver your mail right to the individual mailbox on your porch. Today, you've got to walk both ways to your neighborhood's mailbox cluster. Some people even have to drive to get their mail. So your mail is no longer being delivered. Really, you have to go pick it up. Well, they don't lower the price for that reduced service level. That's service inflation. A second example is more obvious, grocery self checkout. You're taking the time and doing the work of scanning your groceries, but yet, they sure aren't lowering the prices of your lettuce and your beef jerky. And look service, inflation is here to stay. That is because companies make investments in it. The Postal Service bought those mailbox clusters, the supermarket bought those self checkout kiosks. All right, so with this ramp and price inflation and service inflation, along with it, and the other forms of inflation that I've talked about on the show before, like stagflation, tip inflation and Shrink flation and skimpflation. What is an individual investor like you supposed to do? Well, stock and mutual fund investors get killed by inflation. I mean, think about it this way, just killed if the Sp5, 100 gains 10% but there's 5% inflation. That's a 50% hidden tax on your gain, plus you might pay capital gains tax. On top of that, savers really get obliterated. I mean, just destroyed if your bond yield or your savings account pays 4% interest, and there's 5% inflation. That is a 125% hidden tax on your gain, and then you might pay regular tax on top of that. So stocks and mutual funds and savings accounts are not the answer. What is the answer? Real Estate and borrowing the opposite of saving. And let me address now, whenever people get fearful that another wave of inflation is coming, whether that's tariff induced or otherwise, let's not get carried away and think that Hyperinflation is right around the corner, although definitions of hyperinflation vary, the most accepted one by economists is a 50% inflation rate per month, not annually, per month. So that would be over 600% a year, with compounding. I mean, that would be really hard to get, but what we do know is that inflation is still elevated above the Fed's 2% target. It's 2.8% today. And what we do know is that more inflation is coming at what rate nobody knows. These facts almost necessitate that you have either got to start your own business, which is tough, or become a real estate investor which is easier, in order to escape this and acquire some lasting wealth. Any devoted listener here knows that the formula for beating it is luckily, not highly sophisticated, not esoteric, not anything that you need a degree or certification for, just own income properties with loans, and that's when inflation produces three profit centers. As we know that is something that I coined as the inflation triple crown. So if you're new, you're learning something. If you've been around here for a while, here's a little comprehension test for you. What are the three crowns in the inflation Triple Crown, you win with asset price inflation, debt debasement and cash flow enhancement. Asset price inflation benefits you because you have leverage gains debt debasement passively lightens our debt burden for us, and then cash flow enhancement, that boosts our cash flow above the inflation rate, because our principal and interest payment stays fixed. And you can learn more about that totally free. You don't even have to leave your email address or anything. You can watch the three videos of the inflation Triple Crown at get rich education.com/itc. For inflation, Triple Crown, it's just good free learning for you there I've made available at get rich education.com/itc, it is a foundational financial education. Is a recession or even a depression eminent, that's straight ahead. I'm Keith Weinhold. You're listening to get rich education. You know what's crazy? Your bank is getting rich off of you, the average savings account pays less than 1% it's like laughable. Meanwhile, if your money isn't making at least 4% you're losing to inflation. That's why I started putting my own money into the FFI liquidity fund. It's super simple. Your cash can pull in up to 8% returns, and it compounds. It's not some high risk gamble like digital or AI stock trading. It's pretty low risk because they've got a 10 plus year track record of paying investors on time in full every time. I mean, I wouldn't be talking about it if I wasn't invested myself. You can invest as little as 25k and you keep earning until you decide you want your money back. No weird lockups or anything like that. So if you're like me and tired of your liquid funds just sitting there doing nothing, check it out. Text family to 66866, to learn about freedom.

Co founder, Danny Lynn Robinson, listen to get rich education with Keith Weinhold, and don't quit your Daydream. Keith Weinhold 16:00 Welcome back to get rich Education. I'm your host. Keith Wynne Holland, you are inside episode 547. I'll tell you, being a landlord or real estate investor can really change you now. I was using the stair climber at the gym just before talking to you today, I like to set up a big fan down on the floor to keep me cool before running or climbing. Plug it in, set up a fan. When I'm done, I turn off the fan. It's just a habit. I don't pay the electricity bill at my gym, but it's just the way that I would want to be treated. But you know what? When I find a fan that's already set up before I grab it and start on the treadmill. That fan is always running when no one is using it. No one turns off their fans when they don't have to pay for the electricity. And this reminds me of when I owned apartment buildings in Anchorage, Alaska, and tenants kept their windows open, even during the frigid winter, so that they could get fresh air. Yeah, you can guess who was paying the heating bill. It wasn't the tenant. It was me. The larger the apartment building is, the more likely that the owner is the one that pays for more of the utilities. And of course, in that case, you can look into utility sub metering. That process can be costly, but it might be worth it. It can increase your cash flow and your net operating income, which, when it increases your net operating income, that means that it also increases the apartment buildings value. And you know, in real estate today, you've got to look for where the opportunities are. There are opportunities in every market today. For places where there are specifically good opportunities are apartment buildings where their values have fallen 20 to 30% in some markets, it's wise to invest in beaten down sectors that you just know are going to come back like you know, the demand for apartment buildings is going to be there long term. This doesn't mean that you want to invest in any beaten down sector, like Office real estate in general. I don't see how that's coming back. A second strong real estate opportunity today is to find over built pockets, especially ones that exist in Texas and Florida. I mean, this is why they call them buyers markets. A Texas or Florida seller might make you a deal, and that doesn't mean everywhere in these states. For example, Southwest Florida is one area that's specifically over built, even amidst the national landscape that's under built. A third and a fourth area of specific real estate opportunity today are two that I have mentioned before, but they persist. That is still brand new, properties where many builders are still motivated to buy down your mortgage rate to about 5% even 4.75% in some cases, and new builds have low insurance premiums too. And then a fourth opportunity. That's something that we've covered a good bit here these past few weeks. BRRRR, real estate investing, buy, rehab, rent, refinance and repeat. That's a specifically good strategy if you don't have, say, hundreds of 1000s of dollars in liquidity to invest. Now you might ask, do those four strategies have validity? Do they have cogency in today's market, where there are these fears of an economic slowdown. Oh, yes, they do, or I would not have gone over them, but these palpable recession Fears are growing, and some are even asking, is a new Great Depression eminent? There is tons of bad economic news right now, not just in the US, but the global economy is on the edge, starting earlier this month, stock market tremors have turned into full blown convulsions. Trillions of dollars in wealth have just vaporized, wiped out. Investors are rattled, consumers are anxious. Business owners are confused, and those in power in the administration, they insist that tariffs and policy swings are all just part of a transition period, but a transition to what some have even asked, Is the everything bubble finally about to pop. Is this the brink of a recession or something even deeper, a D pressure? Well, one thing is undeniable, from stocks to crypto asset prices recently made a free fall, and I've got some long term lessons for you today, even if you're listening to this years from now, including what a phenomenon like this historically means for the real estate market, it's about what really happens to property values during an economic recession. Stocks recently had their worst week since 2023 barreling toward an all out bear market crash. A bear market means when 20% of the value has been lost from a recent high. Even Bitcoin, the poster child of speculative excess, has cratered. The carnage has been everywhere. But yet, instead of taking steps to prevent an economic meltdown, the administration in power, whether you like them or not, they have introduced more and more radical policies that could accelerate the crisis. Now, some of the tariffs could help long term, but the short term pain is perceptible, and you've got to be able to survive it. We've got new tariffs on multiple countries, and these are our biggest trading partners, even if these import taxes diminish, this is already strained friendships long term, especially with Canada. These countries keep retaliating with tariffs of their own, Canada, Mexico, China and the EU government spending is being slashed. Mass layoffs of federal employees have been underway for a while now. This is not just an economic experiment. I mean, this is a high stakes gamble with global consequences. So is this a detox period, or is it an economic freefall? Treasury Secretary Scott tebescent described this economic shift as a necessary detox period. That's the phrase that he used, and yes, I need to acknowledge there is no more grandma Yellen running the Treasury for long time, listeners, that is a reference to the long running joke about how my late grandmother resembled former Fed chief and former Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, but anyway, according to Besant, the US must break free from what he calls its addiction to government spending in return to private sector growth. Now, hey to me, that sounds good. Actually, that sounds like a good plan for the long term. But here's the problem, that addiction has been the lifeblood of the US economy for decades. And you know, this is something that regular GRE guest macroeconomist Richard Duncan has talked about when he's here. Remember what he's told us for over a decade here on the show, if the US doesn't have 2% real credit growth, credit expansion, well then we go into a recession. Well, what happens when the government cuts spending during soaring consumer prices due to trade wars? What happens when businesses hesitate to invest in the face of extreme uncertainty? Well, the bad news is that tariff whiplash and massive layoffs mean that businesses can't plan, and when businesses can't plan, they freeze. Look, just the other day, I talked to the President of a manufacturing company they make stainless steel tube valves and fittings. Due to all the tariff uncertainty, he's had to set up a reserve account based on what happens next, all right. Well, with that reserve account, that means that that's not money that's going into equipment reinvestment, that's not money that's going into making new hires. What happens when more confidence shatters and markets spiral lower? We may be about to find out. So has the recession, which is a precursor to any depression, already begun? Well, the warning signs are multiplying. Most ominously at last check, the respected Atlanta Fed tracker is now forecasting a more than 2% contraction in US GDP this quarter. That is quite a drawdown and two negative GDP quarters in a row. I mean, that is the definition of what a technical recession is. And here's a quick history piece for you in 1930 to try to quell the effects of the Great Depression, tariffs were passed. Alright. Do you know how badly that turned out back then in 1930 it was called the Smoot Holly Tariff Act. It raised tariffs to try to collect more revenue for the government. It didn't work, and the US sunk deeper into the Great Depression, with rampant unemployment and poverty and social unrest. There was a rise in crime, there were bank failures, even hunger and malnutrition. That's what a depression looks like, right there. Well, back to today. Right now, consumer confidence is collapsing. Retail Sales are plunging. The bond market is signaling distress, and yet those in power appear kind of oblivious to the magnitude of the risk. So what if it's not a transition and it is a start of something far worse? And see, this is just part of what's made investors raise their bets on a recession. Stocks are down like a global trade war has begun. Crypto has fallen like risk appetite has collapsed. Bond prices are rising like inflation is declining, and experts have priced in a 52% chance of a recession in the next 12 months. Okay, 52 that's like flipping a coin and just hoping that it lands on good news. Now in the real estate world, when we talk about direct threats from tariffs, as I've touched on before, the biggest direct threats are tariffs on lumber and on gypsum board. The lumber is used in house framing and trusses. Gypsum board, that just means drywall, the base case for tariffs on Canadian lumber alone, that adds about $10,000 to the cost of a new build typical single family home, which in turn jacks up all existing housing prices and their replacement cost. But let's look beyond that now at market factors. How is real estate adversely affected if the economy slows? Though historically. Let's look at how recessions really affect housing prices, and this is, again, as I like to say, where we take history over hunches. It's easy to have a hunch about what you think is going to happen, but let's look at what has really happened. How do real estate prices perform during recessions. When we look at the last eight recessions, okay? And the most current of those was in 2020, and then when we go back eight recessions ago, that is the 1960s Okay. Well, let me move along in chronological order here, during those eight recessions, starting in the 1960s leading up to today, housing prices, and this includes single family homes up to multifamily apartment buildings, they were just rounding to the nearest whole number here, up 5% there in The late 60s, in that recession, and then up 18% up 14% in the next recession, and then no change, down 1% and then up 6% and then down 13% that was during the 18 month recession, around 2008 and then finally, home prices were up 8% in the latest recession, alright. So in our total of eight recessions since the 1960s home prices only fell significantly one time, and they usually rise that one timethey fell. Let's explore that. That was during the 2008 global financial crisis, which involved more than just the recession. It was a deep recession, that's why it's called the Great Recession, but it also involved more than that. 2008 was special because that was a time of housing oversupply and low homeowner equity positions and a complete mortgage meltdown backed by flimsy liar loans. Well today we are in the opposite of all three of those conditions. We have a housing under supply. Americans have a record 300k plus in protective equity that they are not going to walk away from. And more. Underwriting is stringent, the opposite of a liar loan. So housing prices usually rise in recessions, and if we're teetering on the brink of a recession, there are a lot of reasons to think that housing prices will go up yet again. And by the way, I felt what was happening back in 2008 I invested through it. I think I let you know before that, that's when I owned two four Plex buildings, 2008 but it didn't feel that bad to me, because my properties were temporarily suppressed in value, and that part didn't feel good, but my rents and rental demand went up because no banks would give loans to borrowers to buy properties, so I wouldn't want to sell when the buildings were paying me a higher than ever monthly income. But let's not lose the greater point what I'm telling you here that housing only fell significantly one time through the last eight recessions. That demonstrates the resilience of the housing market. And by the way, those stats were sourced by the NAR and the NB er National Bureau of Economic Research. All right, so why is this? Why is housing resilient in the face of a recession? There are a few reasons, but a main one is see, even if and when times get tough, people still need a place to live, and they will pay for it, especially now, when they have record equity, people are motivated to make mortgage payments and make rent payments, or else they are going to be homeless. So tough times when consumers they get less likely to pay for their car loan are less likely to pay for student loans, and when they default on credit card payments, that's when this stuff happens, but people will fight like heck to avoid losing their home. I mean, people will pay for food, shelter and safety. And also, when it comes to recessions, let's not forget how many bad just God, awful, wrong recession calls there were from over the past two to three years. I mean, the so called experts were wrong, wrong, wrong. Today, the economy is actually starting from a good place. And what do I mean here today, consumers still have money to spend, and they probably will. This is huge, because consumer spending is 70% of the economy, but how will they respond when these higher tariff induced prices hit more shelves at Walmart and Target? We'll see unemployment is still so low that it's practically down there doing squats. But you know these numbers, they're always backward looking, so it does only aim to get worse. The labor market is firm. Interest rates have been pretty steady. They've fallen a little. Energy prices are still down. So really, the bottom line with what I've shown you so far is that federal policies have induced economic trauma, and it does increase the chance of recession over the next 12 months. During recessions, housing is a top performer, and interest rates usually fall as well, and specifically interest rates of all types, including the Fed funds rate, mortgage rates, pretty much every interest rate type, they tend to fall in the mid and late stages of a recession. So this is what you can expect based on history, not hunches. But as for a depression, that is super unlikely. We haven't had one in 90 years, and today. I mean, come on, we have seen what the powers that be do. We can see how they respond to crises. They will just print and print and print more dollars to help pave over any problem. And that's not responsible long term, and it creates more inflation, but that's exactly what the government did to pull us out of the Great Recession and to pull us out of the COVID slowdown. We'll review what you've learned today in just a minute, but let me tell you, though you may very well have the majority of your capital smartly invested in real estate, since that's where the long term wealth creation is, those funds are not very liquid. So what about your liquid funds? Like I pointed out early in the show today, amidst higher inflation expectations, inflation really destroys those in the stock market, and it absolutely crushes savers. Savers really get destroyed, because if your bond yield or your savings account pays you 4% interest, and there's 5% inflation, that is a 125% hidden tax on your gain. And if that's the. Damaging enough there might be tax that you have to pay on that gain, which is not really a gain. This whole thing was a big loss. So for some people, including me, what I do is become a lend. Lord, yes, I get a higher yield by lending to others a lend. Lord. I mean, why settle for just a, say, four and a half percent yield on your liquid funds? I mean, that's the level at both the 10 year bond and the savings account yield today, about four and a half percent. I've parked my own liquid funds for a steady 8% yield that I've been getting for years with a long time established real estate company. I make the loan to them, they have paid on time, every time, for that steady 8% return. And see, when you understand that directly investing in real estate pays five ways, and that a 20 to 30% total ROI, therefore is common and even expected. You can understand how they can pay you and me an 8% return on your liquid funds. You can see where the arbitrage is. Just a little insider tip here. It's called Freedom family investments. If you want to learn more, text family to 66 866. Their minimums are pretty low to 25k and you don't have to be accredited. So for steady 8% returns from the same place in the same vehicle where I've been getting my 8% you can just do it right now. What's on your mind? Text the word family to 66866. Let's review what you've learned today, Americans have higher long term inflation expectations than they've had since 1993 a 1999 Taco Bell receipt really brings to light how much inflation you have experienced in your life. Though, higher inflation can come. Hyper inflation is unlikely. Let's not get carried away. The prospects for a recession are 52% in the next 12 months, per a plurality of experts, but a depression is really unlikely.

The film follows Jason Bowden, a young man battling addiction, who is sent to live with hisestranged grandfather, Griff Bowden, a solitary Vietnam veteran. Together, they confront theirpasts and seek redemption. Shot in Virginia, this neo-western drama delves into themes of family,forgiveness,andfaith. David Alford Joseph Stam David started Cross Purposes Productions in 2019 and has been a driving force behind the production of all four of their films. Married for 33 years to his incredible wife, Stephanie, he is the father of three adult children and three grandchildren. After graduating from the University of Texas with a Bachelor of Science in Radio-Television and Film in the early nineties, David worked in Christian radio in both Austin and Dallas Texas in both the Christian music format (Program director/on-air talent) as well as the talk format (on-air talent). When kids came along, David became to a public high school English teacher to be home more with his kids. While homeschooling his three children, he spent five years acting and directing in the San Antonio theatre scene and eventually became a professional actor at the Barter Theatre in Abingdon, Virgina where he worked in the resident acting company for six years. Shortly before Covid hit, he took a hiatus from the stage and wrote his first screenplay for a short film. He produced it locally with some friends and submitted it to film festivals where it received numerous awards in the U.S. and internationally and well as a Global distribution deal. Since then, he has produced three more award-winning, feature length films that have gone on to be distributed worldwide and seen by millions of people on some of the largest streaming and satellite platforms in the world. His work has been voice dubbed into Portugueses and subtitled into many languages including Hindi to reach a larger global audience.Joseph grew up, with a theatrical streak encouraged by his mother, and as a film enthusiast encouraged by his older brother (who is now a film editor.) He took the stage as Peter Pan when he was eight years old and never stopped. All the while he made home movies with his siblings, roping them into telling his stories. At sixteen years of age, Joseph was cast in his first short film, Cross Purposes. Working on a film set was a dream come true. Curious about everything involved in filmmaking, he started honing his writing and directing skills and eventually joined Cross Purposes Production's creative team behind the camera for their next three full length films. Joseph has been recognized as an outstanding youth actor as well as an award-winning adult actor. Appearing in major Christian film festivals across the U.S. and internationally, Joseph's film work can be seen globally on platforms such as Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, Tubi, Pureflix, Up Faith and Family, Roku, Sling, Plex, Hoopla, AMC On demand, and FreeVee. Five years later, he hasn't stopped writing, directing and acting in film productions. Sometimes, attempting all three on the same production.Watch the Film:TubiPrime VideoTrailerFacebookInstagramCross Purposes Production

It's Die Hard in a casino!This week, hosts Phil and Liam are stepping into the swirling, neon-drenched chaos of Brian De Palma's SNAKE EYES (1998) - joined by none other than Travis Woods, the highly acclaimed film writer who is literally writing the book on De Palma.During a high-profile boxing match in Atlantic City, corrupt local detective Rick Santoro (Nicolas Cage) witnesses the assassination of the U.S. Secretary of Defense, who was being guarded by his best friend, US Navy Commander Kevin Dunne (Gary Sinise). With thousands of people trapped inside the casino, and a hurricane on the way, the building becomes a deadly pressure cooker, and as Santoro unearths a dark conspiracy, he must decide whether to take a pay off and look the other way…or risk everything to expose the truth.What follows is a pressure-cooker thriller set almost entirely inside this one building, packed with impossibly complex tracking shots, split diopters galore, and some of the most ostentatious filmmaking flexes of De Palma's career. We break down how Snake Eyes really is both “Die Hard in a casino” and “Die Hard 2 in a casino”, why it's a perfect showcase for Cage's full-throttle charisma, and how De Palma - the king of cinematic maximalism - injects pure operatic style into a film that's basically one long unraveling conspiracy. Plus, Travis takes us deep into De Palma's career, his recurring themes of surveillance, voyeurism, and deception, and where Snake Eyes fits amidst the great man's remarkable legacy. So throw on your loudest suit, place your bets, and join us as we go all-in on this gloriously demented, spectacularly sleazy thriller! Here comes the pain, baby!SNAKE EYES trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VucLIxy23TAAt the time of release, SNAKE EYES is streaming on Fubo and is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Apple TV, Fandango, Plex and all the usual platforms!Click here to subscribe to our Patreon feed 48 HOURS OF BUDDY MOVIES!

Rather than pouring resources into passive marketing channels, we explore how becoming an integral part of your community can lead to sustained patient acquisition. From partnerships with schools, gyms, and community centers, we delve into how connecting with organizations that matter to your target audience can establish you as the trusted local dental provider.

Gyms and community centers are also massively valuable, where offering services like free oral health screenings can cultivate trust and lead to steady referrals.You'll hear a captivating case study of a dentist from the Ground Marketing Course who leveraged these strategies with exceptional success, achieving remarkable patient growth and slashing marketing costs. By emphasizing social proof, consistent partner engagement, and maintaining strong relationships, this approach not only brings in new patients but also fortifies your practice's reputation as a community asset.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Techniques for creating impactful partnerships in your community.How schools can serve as a hub for patient acquisition.The importance of value-first strategies in gym partnerships.Ways to leverage community centers for trust and exposure.Tactics for building a robust referral system.Insights from a successful case study in ground marketing.The role of social proof in enhancing reputation.Methods for sustaining long-term partnerships for ongoing growth.Press play to learn how local partnerships can revolutionize your practice and boost patient growth!Learn More About the Ground Marketing Course Here:Website: https://thedentalmarketer.lpages.co/the-ground-marketing-course-open-enrollment/Other Mentions and Links:Businesses/Brands:PlexCrossFitDymatize ProteinMuscle MilkBig Brother Big Sisters of AmericaSoftware/Tools:ExcelIf you want your questions answered on Monday Morning Episodes, ask me on these platforms:My Newsletter: https://thedentalmarketer.lpages.co/newsletter/The Dental Marketer Society Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2031814726927041Episode Transcript (Auto-Generated - Please Excuse Errors)Michael: All right, we're going to be talking about building local partnerships that matter. So that's the key word here is that matter. Sometimes it's easy to build local partnerships with, other potential businesses or locations that aren't as important as. It should be to you or they really just don't matter.we'll see what I mean by that the episode goes along, but why partnerships? So most dentists rely on passive marketing ads. SEO, social media, but local partnerships allow you to integrate into the daily lives of your target audience. So instead of spending thousands on marketing, you become the community's trusted dental provider by leveraging existing relationships.This isn't just about getting your name out. It's about becoming the go to dentist in your town. That's the goal here, the go to dentist. So we're going to be discussing that throughout this time and how to do that. But like I always mentioned, if you want the scripts, you want the videos, you want the in depth, more of all of this, the templates.And if you want more one on one time with myself and my team. Any questions or concerns with the crowd marketing, then please feel free to join the ground marketing course, we continue to add to that course. It's an amazing course. It's going to be, in the show notes below.There's a link there. It's the first link in the show notes below. So definitely go check it out and just go check out everything you can see inside of the course and check out what everybody else is getting and the results that they're seeing and how it's improving their, practice their community.Let's dive into this, understanding the psychology of local partnerships. Now to truly embed, and that's the key here. You need to understand how and why local decision makers agreed to partnerships. And that's the key. You want to embed yourself into the community, but let's understand how and why local decision makers agree to partnerships. There's three ways. Number one is, people don't promote businesses, they promote relationships.A gym owner won't push your services unless they genuinely like and trust you. A school principal won't let you do a talk unless they see value for their students and parents. And a community director won't recommend you unless you make their job easier. Promote relationships, okay? Remember this principle, the principle of reciprocity.Give before you ask before asking for referrals, offer something of high value, make it feel like a favor. So for example, a gym owner is more likely to refer patients. If you offer something for free to their athletes, first, Or you want to give something where that benefits them first and it doesn't have to be, Hey, we're offering free whining.Would you like free whining? No. It can be, Hey, do you have any business cards? I'd love to give it to our patients. We're doing a health and wellness thing this month and we'd love to have your information in our hygiene kits. That's perfect. They're like, yes, more clients, more business.Yeah. I love to do that. You're offering first and then three positioning, right? Embed, don't sell. Okay. That's how you want to position. Instead of saying, can I promote my practice here, which from this point on, I never want you to do that, right? Can I promote my practice here?No. You want to notice the pain points, right? Hey, I noticed many gym members struggle with teeth grinding, right? I have a lot of patients who come to this gym and they, suffer from teeth grinding and I'd love to help your athletes with some free night guards. Or maybe there's kids in your school that are high risk for cavities and you say, quite a bit of kids come to my practice in this school and they're high in cavities and I'd love to do a, you fun presentation about oral health and nutrition.Or you can say many of your community members may be unaware of oral cancer if you're at a senior home, right? Can I do free screenings at your next health event? Would that be okay? You're making people's job easier. You're showing that you care. There's a principle of reciprocity and you're promoting relationships.So the goal is to position yourself as a valuable asset. Not an advertiser. I want you to get out of the mindset of, Oh my God, I got to promote my practice, I guess, get all these new patients. I got to meet production, get collection, get paid profits. And I want you to position yourself as a valuable asset.Okay. I am an asset to the community, which means my practice is a humongous asset to this community. Let me show them position yourself. And so how are you going to do that as we're going to kind of, scratch the surface on three main things, schools, gyms, and fitness centers, and then community centers.Okay. And then we're going to discuss how to make these partnerships self sustaining. And I'm going to give you a case study, an example of how this worked for a practice member. So. number two right, school is the most powerful and overlooked partnership. Schools are an ultimate hub of families.They have parents, kids, and teachers all in one place, and this is a gold mine for patient acquisition. Many times we go after the kids and we forget about the parents, or we go after the kids and the parents and then we forget about the teachers. We go after the kids, parents, and teachers, and we forget about the staff besides the teachers.I mean, There's a lot of people there, unless you're a pediatric practice, right? But there's a lot of people there who are not your patients who can become your patients. Definitely keep that in mind. Schools already have a health and wellness mandate. If you align with their mission, they will welcome you.Just figure it out. And I'm going to discuss how you can do that right now. And then three, schools have high trust in medical professionals, meaning your practice gains instant credibility. You want to be the go to practice for emergencies. But also the go to practice for whatever comes to top of mind when it's oral or dental related for these teachers, staff, and so forth, the schools.Schools are the ultimate hub of families, understand that. Now, understanding key decision makers in schools. There's a couple. There's the PTA president, they control parents, engagement programs. There's the school nurse, handle student health and make, good referrals. Three, principal, obviously, right?They approve in school partnerships. Four is the athletic director. They manage sports programs. It's perfect for those mouth guard campaigns. And then five, after school program coordinator, right? They organize extracurricular activities. So these are like the five ones. Now, if you want to go above and beyond, contact The school district in your town. to be honest with you. That's what I go for right from the back is I contact the school district. I even go inside the school district facility, where it's just the district pocket up with the people there because they oversee not just one school, right?They oversee multiple schools in the whole district. So, If you get cool with them, you're going to be able to get cool with those other schools, right? school nurse, principal, athletic director, afterschool program coordinator, their boss is. if you're able to contact the school district, get an amazing partnership with them, get them to come to your practice, the people in the district, then everything else pretty much becomes easy peasy from that point on.And in the ground marketing course, I show you how I do that contact the school district. And I give you the script and everything like that, but I also give you the script for you know, the principals and the school nurses, wellness directors, and things like that, because you can do that as well.Cause sometimes the district will tell you, we'll contact the principal and then. They will let you know. But like I said, in the course, there's so much more detail with all of this. I'm kind of just scratching the surface for everything. Cause I want you to get just a bit right now. So those are the people you can contact.They're the key decision makers. Anybody else besides that? You're just talking to someone who thinks they a decision maker, but they're not. And you may get a no from someone who that no doesn't even matter. And so what I mean by that is maybe they may say, no, you cannot come in here. And that was like the administration office.It don't even matter what they say, if the principal says yes, then, all you did was just contact the wrong person and got the wrong answer, which happens so often. So I need you to understand that you have to contact decision makers, not anybody else, not the front office, not the person answering the phones.Reach out to these people. PTA president, school nurse, principal, athletic director, afterschool program coordinator, the district, right? Reach out to them because they will most likely give you a yes. And if they do perfect, but if it's anybody else, they may give you a no, cause they don't know the answer.And now you're just not attempting to go anymore because you talked to the wrong person who doesn't even know what they're doing. So I would hate for that to happen to you. So understand the key decision makers. That's huge. Then the next step is tactics for breaking into schools or like getting into schools.So the PTA approach, the parent network hack, right? You want to attend PTA meetings, introduce yourself as a resource, not a salesperson. Offer a 10 minute talk, right? With free giveaways for kids. Propose a parent education night, examples, you can do a cavities and nutrition, what every parent needs to know, what I like to do is offer something, where every attendee can come to my practice, So offer free whitening coupon, offer something specific where you know they will come into your practice. You can also do the next approach, which is the school nurse connection. This is a referral pipeline. So offer to train the school nurse on dental emergencies. You also want to provide free dental first aid kits that can be like gauze, floss, mouth rinse, referral sheet to your office.Provide these to the schools. I cannot tell you how crucial this is, to getting new patients. Hey, instead of hygiene kits, which you can just break apart a hygiene kit, And then make it into a free dental first aid kit for the school nurses. Hey, here's free dental first aid kits. We'd like to give it to our schools.We want to make sure you guys are stocked and ready to go for this season. Let me know if you need more at any moment. I will come by maybe like in a month or so. you need any more, but also here's the signup sheet to refer, here's also our number and we always can come by like every, month or so to pick up the signup sheet to see if there's any names or numbers or anything like that that gives you like more opportunity to show your face in front of them, but at the same time, more opportunity to drop off free dental first aid kits for the children.And at the same time, it gives you more, of an opportunity to drop off more referral sheets or maybe pick up the referral signup sheet and see the names and numbers. Great. But most likely they will call you and refer you that way, but that's huge. dental first aid kits huge, huge, huge. If you can start doing that today, if you haven't do that with the schools, you want to offer VIP fast pass for urgent student cases, right?Whenever the nurse sees a dental issue, they call your office directly and you can get a same day appointment. So make that a huge thing. Okay. Like, Hey, if you ever have an emergency, here's the same day appointment pass. Okay. Like, Just let us know it's from you. You can also sponsor school events. That's visibility on steroids.I mean, Sports teams, they offer free custom mouth guards. You can do that. Career days, give a talk on what it's like to be a dentist, instant credibility with parents right there. Teacher appreciation provided teacher smile program, maybe discounted whitening or priority scheduling. They always have teacher appreciation.See how you can participate in that. Don't just let that slide make those teachers come to your practice. Be a part of the teacher appreciation program and then offer something specific just for the teachers. That's a humongous gift. And then you can have like library and reading incentives. This happens a lot.I a sponsor of for smiles, challenge kids who read 10 books, get specific goody bag, right? Like a dental hygiene kit just for them with fun stuff in it. And also information about your practice, things like that and so forth. And then you can also do summer camp and afterschool programs.You want to offer a free dental checkup day at summer camps possible. And then you can have school fundraising and referral loops. So you can offer a free dental day where a percentage of proceeds goes to school programs. Create a referral contest where the class with the most referrals wins a pizza party.Make it fun, when you're getting these referrals and you want to have them be a part of it. You can also donate a portion of every referred new patients. First visit fee back to the school as well. That's a huge way to support the school and they're going to continue to refer and so forth.So this is for school. Schools are huge. Gyms and fitness centers. That's the secret to high value patients. Gyms are huge. This is something I started. This was one of my first ever locations I went to ground market to and have yet to stop. It's incredible. They're health conscious people. That value wellness.Many gym goers suffer from teeth grinding or dry mouth and acid erosion from fitness drinks. And then trainers and gym owners are influencers. If they trust you, they will refer their entire client base. So how can you establish that? The gym owner angle, the business partnership play, You want to approach the gym owner, not as a dentist, but as a business owner.Always. They're on the lookout to get clients. You're on the lookout to get patients. So offer a value exchange, right? Go in there, offer free oral health screening days for gym members, discounted whitening for trainers, things like that. What I like to do, honestly, is keep it simple. I just, hey, can I have some of your information?I love to put it in my hygiene kits. And then say, why, maybe you're off, you're doing something that month or you want to partner up with them, They'll be ecstatic. And then at the same time, Hey, by any chance, can I give you guys some of our information as well? Yeah, cool. Awesome. And then drop off a signup sheet for the employees and the trainers there.Hey, this month, we wanted to give you guys just the employees here, this boom. And then from that point on, you're able to do more. Now, like I said, in the course, we dive way deeper in gym. So you can go ahead and check that out and become a member of the ground marketing course there. And then you want to do campaign for athletes.If this is like a specific location, like Plex, that's a gym in Texas. I remember it was just for athletes or any other type of gym. That's just for athletes, like weightlifters and CrossFit athletes. You can provide night guards, yoga practitioners. You can do something where mindfulness and oral health connection, cyclists and runners, hydration and oral health education.This one was huge bodybuilders. acidic protein shakes and enamel damage prevention. Now something we did this is what I think personally will be incredible that you should do on social media. There's a hundred and one protein shakes, a hundred and one, pre workouts, post workouts, intro workouts, all these things.How bad is each of them or how good is each of them for your oral health, How do we take this? Do we take it just with water? Some people just take it straight. I've taken it just straight and then pour water Later on how should this be taken and then rate each of them like make a video for each today, we're checking out.I don't know Diametized protein see how bad it is good it is for your teeth depending on the ingredients and then you're tasting it and then boom Okay, this is not that bad one out of ten. It's gonna be like a four and then you do muscle milk Oh, man, this has arsenic. It has lead has cadmium. Not only is it bad for your oral health, but it's also bad for this.This is a, definitely a one I do not recommend, right? Kind of A thing like that. Make videos like that. Trust me, Nobody's done it yet, So if I were you, if you are into that, this is something I'd attack and I would say, okay, we're going to do this campaign.We're going to do a hundred videos, different proteins. Right. doesn't have to be all in one day. It can be, you know, within year's worth if you want, but. Make sure you, become known as that. And then not only are you niching down on a specific target audience, which is bodybuilders who are people who care about their physique, they care about how they look and things like that.They care about their health, but at the same time, you're helping them prevent an enamel damage. So that's something to think about. And then you can also do sponsorships like at local CrossFit competitions hydration stations at 5k races or marathons, and then exclusive gym membership. You can have the trainer referral incentive.I know this is something we did. Any gym trainer that refers five patients, it's something specific. In our practice, sometimes they wanted a percentage off where they wanted, Invisalign or they even wanted just rewinding. As much as they could, right? And so we would offer that depending on how many they refer.And then eventually they just continue to refer without, getting any type of incentive, which is fantastic. So you can definitely do that. And then you can always participate in their events as well, which they have a lot of events all the time, gyms and fitness centers. So huge, huge, huge. And then, finally would be community centers the trust builder.Now this is just an example, right? There's many locations you can go to gyms corporations, salons, all these things. But. For this episode, I'm just going to be covering, like I said, schools, gyms, and community centers, and then I'm going to give you a case study of someone who attacked these three and the results that they got.finally this community centers and community centers are crucial. They serve families, seniors, low income individuals. I mean, There's a huge patient segment and community centers already have structured health programs, so you can seamlessly integrate. They have established trust. People trust community based recommendations over ads.Michael: Now, the best community partnerships, best hands down is senior centers and retirement homes. I mean, They offer a ton of stuff and there's somebody specifically there who's called the activities coordinator or director who's looking for you to do things for their seniors, for their residents.You can offer free oral cancer screenings. You can host dentures and implant Q& A sessions. You can provide a senior smile program, which is a dental discount for seniors. Your membership program, you can offer a ton of stuff. Best thing to do though, is just do a Q& A session. Once one or two of them start asking questions, the whole room is going to ask questions.And it's just up to you to coordinate it to guide the questions and answer them. And you'll notice a theme of the questions, and then you can create a program tailored just for them. If you would like, so that's something best community partnerships, senior homes, and we have a whole unit on senior centers, independent living facilities, retirement homes.You can even see me in real life doing the strategy, setting up at events, signing up people and so forth, beautiful location. love senior homes. I love working with them. It's fantastic. But like I said, strategies, scripts, templates. Live examples. You can see that in the ground marketing course, doing it there.So that's number one, Senior centers and retirement homes. The next one would be youth centers and afterschool programs, right? Partner with big brother, big sisters. You can offer free checkups, sponsor sports leagues. If you'd like create a smile scholarship for underprivileged kids. So like X dollar amount per new patient goes into a dental fund for them, right?Specific things like that. And so that's going to be it right there, right? Kind of On how you can do that with community centers. So how to make these partnerships self sustaining You want to leverage social proof and community testimonials? So always capture video testimonials from gym owners pta leaders and community members and features success stories on social media And newsletters automate and scale your outreach So use a CRM to track partnerships and follow up quarterly.In the course created for you the ground marketing worksheet. And in there, it's just literally a template. You just download it on Excel and that's it. And you can see exactly how to follow up quarterly or often what you need to write down so forth, because you can lose track if you are not organized.So you want to automate and scale your outreach, track your partnerships, follow up, create a dedicated community liaison role. So assign a team member to manage partnerships. This is what business development is. You're going to see a lot of larger corporations, larger businesses. They have a business development, partner, a business development person in their organization, in their, job who's just dedicated to developing business partnerships. So sign that, and this can be the ground market. in your team and then recurring checkpoints with partners. You want to schedule quarterly check ins with school nurses, gym owners, and community leaders.And then you want to offer new partnership ideas to keep the collaboration fresh, and this comes naturally. So don't overthink it. This is going to come naturally. Every time he's like, Hey, I ran out of hygiene kits or, Hey, I ran out of first aid, dental health kits, or, Hey, I need some more of your business cards.Quarterly check ins happen naturally if it's the right partnership. Okay. So the best marketing doesn't feel like market. When you build partnerships, patients don't need to be sold on your services. They already trust you before they walk through the door. That's what partnerships do. .Now we're going to go into the case study. Now this doctor is a member in the course and she lives in a midsize suburban town and she struggled with slow new patient growth, despite a strong online presence.Instead of pouring more money into ads, she embedded her practice into the community using a strategic partnership approach. It took her a year. Within 12 months, she increased new patient flow, reduced marketing costs, but she built a self sustaining referral system with schools, gyms, and community centers.Here's exactly how she did it. Step one, schools, the long term growth machine. The plan is instead of cold emailing schools, she identified key decision makers and provided value up front. She attended PTA meetings and introduced herself as a community resource, not a business. She connected with school nurses and provided emergency dental first aid kits.She offered a free workshop for teachers about oral health's impact on kids focus. And attendance and the teacher saw that was incredibly valuable. So they wanted the parents to come and then eventually the parents came as well to see that. So that was a workshop that was offered and shown more than once.So that was tactic number one, PTA and school nurse relationship building. Number two was monthly school visits and parent education. She scheduled quarterly classroom visits. She brought fun tooth fairy kits for kindergarteners. She hosted a smile superhero contest for older kids could maintain the best brushing habits.And then she set up a free online dental Q and a for parents hosted on the school's Facebook page. Tactic number three, referral partnerships with school sports teams. She provided custom mouth guards for the local youth soccer and football teams branded with her office's logo. And then she created a VIP referral system.Every student referred by a school nurse or coach got priority scheduling and a free treat, a specific to what they needed. And the results were incredible. Over 400 new patient referrals in the first year, teachers and school staff became loyal patients after she provided an exclusive teacher discount.And the school sports partnerships created a word of mouth effect. Parents saw her logo on their kid's mouth guard cases and so forth. And kids knew who they were. was just amazing how the word of mouth effect happened here. So that was schools.Step two was gym partnerships. Which was a hidden gold mine. The plan was she identified three high end gyms and CrossFit boxes in her area and offered value first tactic. One gym trainer and member benefits. She offered free night guard fittings for trainers who suffer from teeth grinding. She gave each trainer five VIP dental passes worth a hundred dollars each to give to clients experiencing TMJ issues and Want to put a little asterisk here.besides free nightguard fittings. She offered for you teeth whitening So it was one or the other on that for the personal trainers and the gym members. She provided an exclusive fit smile package, teeth whitening, free fluoride treatment, discounted nightguards for heavy grinders, or an asterisk here too.She also offered a discount on cleanings. So that was the fitness smile package it wasn't like a whole type of, Hey, we're doing this as long as you remember, no, it was just, Hey, we're doing this for this summer only kind of a thing. So urgency was created. Tactic 2, gym event sponsorship, so she sponsored a gym hydration challenge, she tied hydration to oral health, she set up a free dental checkup day at the gym, and then she cross promoted her practices blog on the gym's website and social media.So the results were over 50 high value patients from gym trainers and referrals nightguards became a profitable service for her. And Jim started organically promoting her practice because she helped their members.So that was two, and then three was community centers. Instant trust and mass exposure. So she partnered with local senior centers, afterschool programs to gain instant community trust. So tactic one, the senior centers, the hidden patient base, she hosted free oral cancer screening events. She created a senior dental membership plan, right?So she discounted specific services. She became a guest speaker at community wellness talks, covering topics like how oral health affects brain function in seniors and much more. This was fantastic. She continues to do this. Tactic two, low income community dental support. She partnered with a local nonprofit organization to offer low cost cleanings.She created a dental scholarship fund where 10 from every new patient fee went toward helping undeserved kids, and then she hosted a free smile day. So every quarter for families who couldn't afford to care. And this established an incredible powerful reputation. As a dentist who gives back, she was able to obtain over 200 new patients from senior centers and community programs.And she was even featured in local newspapers and community newsletters for her charitable efforts. So that was free publicity. So it was fantastic. So scaling partnership into a self sustaining referral machine. she leveraged all of this through social proof and community testimonials. She filmed short video testimonials, school nurses about her educational talks.Jim trainers about how she helped their clients, senior center directors, praising her community involvement. And she posted these testimonials on social media and her website to reinforce credibility. I mean, You're doing all this work. Might as well go for the ask. Say, Hey, can you record a short 30 second video for me, please?You can even say 15 second video. Can you record a short 15 second video? boom. And then just record a short 15 second video on your phone. Little do you know that 15 second video will be up them talking about you for five minutes. Or three minutes, right? But that's it. That's all you got to say. So leverage it to create a community referral program.So any partner, right? School gym, community center that referred five plus patients got a special sponsorship for their events. So create something like that community centers and schools started reaching out to her instead of the other way around. So instead of her having to reach out to them.They started reaching out to her and three schedule, quarterly check ins with partners. Maintain these personal relationships with school staff, gym owners, and community leaders. Always ask, Hey, what would be most helpful to you right now? How can I help you or how can I help your members or how can I do this?How can I help your residents this quarter? Be specific like that. How can I help you guys this quarter? What are you guys doing? How can I help you? And then see how you can fulfill that need. And then offer new partnership ideas to keep engagement high. This will come naturally all the time.The new partnership ideas. So key takeaways for this is stop relying on hold ads and start embedding your practice into trusted community. Networks who is school gyms and community centers provide built in credibility and trust. If you offer value first three, once partnerships are established, referrals become self sustaining, establish these partnerships for social proof, testimonial from school nurses, gym owners, and community leaders, compounds growth five, less reliance on expensive marketing, more on relationships.will equal long term success. So I hope you understand, right? I'm not saying you need to do these three specific things. if you're a member in the ground marketing course, then you already know that you've done probably gyms. I know for sure you've done senior centers and then at the same time, schools, so you can attack it like that, And then continue to nurture these locations. But this is where her target patients were. And she wanted it. So we kind of extracted that and said, okay, let's look at the three strategies she mainly did and bada bing, bada boom. It's fantastic. So leveraging partnerships is key. The easiest way to grow a dental practice isn't by spending more on marketing.It's by becoming the dentist everyone in the community already trusts before they ever meet you. Always remember that creating these partnerships are huge, and in the ground marketing course, I teach you exactly how to do this. I teach you how to create these pipelines. So referrals are coming to you consistently, okay, for years, not just once in a while, but they're coming consistently and they're compounding.So then you just depend on, I need to nurture this relationship, or I just need to continue what I'm doing and the way I'm working and being fantastic. Because now they're referring to me, my referrals are referring other people. And that happens all the time. So you want to continue to build local partnerships that matter. And if you want more information on this, not just information, but strategies, you want to learn exactly how to do this, get the exact results or better. And at the same time, build partnerships with all your schools and your community, partnerships with all the gyms and fitness centers, partnerships with all the senior centers.You want to be a part of their events.
