Danielle Kramer, CEO and founder of Easy Dental Solutions, joins Lester De Alwis to make the case that insurance dependence is rarely just a fee problem. Drawing on nearly every role she's held inside a dental practice, Danielle breaks down the four-pillar playbook (systems, culture, communication, and team) and explains why communication, specifically how financial options are presented to patients, is the biggest unlock for going fee-for-service.

In this episode, we explore cultural appropriation within modern witchcraft and spiritual practice, examining how language, symbols, and practices can become disconnected from the cultures that created them. Together, we discuss why the origins of the words we use matter, how good intentions are not always enough, and what it means to approach spiritual traditions with respect, curiosity, and accountability.Through thoughtful conversation, we examine common terms and practices that have become widespread within modern pagan and witchcraft communities, exploring where they come from, how their meanings have changed over time, and why listening to the voices of the cultures they originate from is an essential part of ethical practice. Rather than offering a list of rules, we invite listeners into a conversation about learning, growth, and the responsibility that comes with engaging traditions beyond our own.Join us as we reflect on how curiosity, humility, and a willingness to keep learning can help us build a more informed, respectful, and authentic spiritual practice.This path isn't about perfection; it's about presence.

A Jesus Entrepreneur Collective Commentary with Stan Hustad   There is a version of Jesus that almost everybody can live with. Gentle Jesus. Welcoming Jesus. Compassionate Jesus. Jesus with the children gathered around him. Jesus healing the sick, feeding the hungry, forgiving sinners and telling frightened people not to be afraid. That Jesus is real. But he is not the whole Jesus. And in this challenging edition of the Jesus Entrepreneur Collective, Stan Hustad asks his audience to confront another side of Jesus—the strong, courageous, sometimes confrontational Jesus who was willing to say things that made powerful people uncomfortable. This is Jesus, the Man of the Millstone. And his warning concerning the vulnerable—especially children—is difficult to dismiss. Jesus said that whoever causes one of the "little ones" to stumble would be better off having a great millstone hung around his neck and being cast into the sea. Those are not gentle words. They are not politically convenient words. And they certainly do not sound like the harmless, perpetually agreeable Jesus sometimes presented by modern culture. They are the words of someone who took the protection of the vulnerable with extraordinary seriousness. Jesus Was No Wimp Hustad begins the program with an observation he has made repeatedly throughout his years of broadcasting, teaching and coaching: Jesus was not weak. He was compassionate without being timid. He could welcome a child, touch a leper, forgive a sinner and comfort a grieving family. But he could also challenge religious authorities, confront hypocrisy, overturn tables and stand before political power without surrendering his convictions. Hustad recalls the famous scene from the classic film Ben-Hur. A Roman soldier attempts to prevent Jesus from giving water to the exhausted prisoner. Jesus simply rises and looks at him. No speech. No violence. No threat. Just presence. And the soldier backs away. Whether or not the cinematic scene tells us precisely what the historical Jesus looked like, it captures something important about him: Strength does not always have to shout. Real authority does not require bullying. Courage does not require cruelty. And conviction does not require hatred. That distinction becomes especially important when Christians enter the difficult moral arguments of their time. Don't Mess With the Children The program then moves directly into one of the most contentious issues in American public life: abortion, particularly political efforts to permit abortion very late in pregnancy. Hustad makes no attempt to hide his position. He believes unborn children possess profound human worth, and he believes Christians should speak clearly in their defense. But the challenge goes deeper than a political argument. His question is: What does Jesus' warning about protecting the vulnerable require of people who claim to follow him? That question cannot simply be handed to politicians. It belongs to pastors, business leaders, entrepreneurs, parents and grandparents, teachers, broadcasters and communicators, and ordinary Christians sitting quietly in church pews. The millstone passage is disturbing precisely because Jesus intended it to be disturbing. He deliberately chose an image his listeners would understand: an enormous grinding stone, potentially so heavy that an animal was required to turn it. Then Jesus attached that image to a warning about harming or corrupting the vulnerable. Whatever one's politics, those words should stop a follower of Jesus long enough to ask: Do I take the protection of vulnerable human life as seriously as Jesus apparently did? That is the challenge. Not hatred. Not harassment. Not threats. Not personal condemnation. A challenge of conscience. Conviction Without Cruelty There is another challenge here for the Christian entrepreneur. It is possible to believe something strongly and still behave badly while defending it. Christians do not receive permission to become cruel simply because they believe their cause is righteous. Jesus demonstrated another way: strong convictions, courageous words, compassion for people. Those three belong together. The Jesus Entrepreneur Collective therefore does not call people to attack those with whom they disagree. It calls people to become courageous enough to speak, thoughtful enough to listen, disciplined enough to understand the issue, and compassionate enough to remember that every person in the argument remains a human being. The unborn child matters. The frightened mother matters. The father matters. The physician matters. The person who profoundly disagrees with you matters. Truth and love are not competitors. The difficult task of Christian leadership is learning to practice both. Jesus the Marketplace Man Hustad then returns to one of the recurring themes of the Jesus Entrepreneur Collective: before Jesus became an itinerant teacher, he spent many years in the ordinary world of work. He knew customers. He knew deadlines. He knew workmanship. He knew expectations. He knew what it meant to make something useful and have another person judge its value. Whatever modern occupational title we apply to the ancient tekton, Jesus knew the marketplace. That matters to Hustad because Christianity should never be confined to Sunday morning. If Jesus is Lord, then Jesus belongs in Monday morning too—in the office, in the shop, in the sales meeting, in the boardroom, in the classroom, behind the microphone, and in the difficult public conversations that respectable people would sometimes prefer to avoid. The Jesus Entrepreneur Collective exists in part to recover that connection between faith, courage, work, enterprise and public responsibility. Become an Apprentice Perhaps the most important word in the program is not entrepreneur. It is apprentice. Christians traditionally call the followers of Jesus "disciples." Hustad suggests that modern people might better grasp the idea if they thought of themselves as apprentices. An apprentice watches the master. Studies the master. Practices what the master does. Learns how the master thinks. Makes mistakes, receives correction and tries again. So Hustad poses a far more demanding question than simply, "Do you believe in Jesus?" He asks: Are you apprenticed to Jesus? Are you learning his courage? His compassion? His way of dealing with people? His willingness to challenge conventional wisdom? His concern for the vulnerable? His ability to combine strength and grace? And his willingness to accept the consequences of telling uncomfortable truths? That is considerably harder than simply claiming a religious identity. What's Your MOU With the MOU? Hustad closes with one of his memorable plays on words. Businesspeople know the term MOU—Memorandum of Understanding. So he asks: What is your MOU with the MOU—the Master of the Universe? What exactly is your understanding with Jesus? What have you agreed to do? What responsibilities come with calling yourself his follower? What happens when his teaching conflicts with your politics, your profession, your comfort, your financial interests—or even your friends? Perhaps every Christian entrepreneur needs a personal memorandum of understanding: This is what I believe. This is whom I follow. These are the people I will protect. These are the principles I will not sell. This is how I will treat people who disagree with me. And this is the courage I intend to practice when remaining silent would be easier. That may be what apprenticeship to Jesus looks like in the modern marketplace. And perhaps that is why the image of the millstone still matters. It reminds us that the Jesus who welcomed children was also fiercely serious about what happened to them. Grace was real. Love was real. And so was accountability. THINGS TO REMEMBER Jesus was compassionate, but he was not weak. His love included courage, confrontation and moral seriousness. Protecting the vulnerable is not merely a political issue. For followers of Jesus it is a matter of conscience and discipleship. Conviction does not excuse cruelty. Christians should be able to defend what they believe without dehumanizing those who disagree. Christianity belongs in the marketplace. Faith that disappears when business, money, reputation or controversy enters the room is worth examining. A disciple is an apprentice. Following Jesus means more than admiring him. It means learning to live differently because of him. THINGS TO SHARE Share this program with someone who believes Jesus was merely "nice." Share it with a Christian business leader who is trying to determine how faith should influence difficult decisions. Share it with someone who disagrees with Stan. In fact, that conversation may be particularly worthwhile. The goal should not be to create another shouting match. The world already has plenty of those. The better goal is to create an uncomfortable but honest conversation about human dignity, courage, responsibility, children, conscience and what following Jesus actually requires. THINGS TO DO Before criticizing somebody else, examine your own MOU with the Master of the Universe. Ask yourself: Where am I remaining silent because speaking might cost me something? Where have I confused being loving with being agreeable? Where have I confused being courageous with being angry? Who are the vulnerable people around me whom I have a responsibility to protect? If someone watched my business life for a month, would they discover evidence that I am actually apprenticed to Jesus? Then choose one action: Speak. Serve. Protect. Give. Apologize. Learn. Challenge. Encourage. Or simply refuse to remain comfortably indifferent. AND NOW, A CHALLENGE Stan Hustad has made his argument. You are welcome to challenge it. If you believe he has gone too far, tell him. If you believe he has not gone far enough, tell him that too. If you think his interpretation of Jesus is wrong, make your case. And if this program caused you to reconsider something you had comfortably stopped thinking about, tell him that as well. Write Stan at stan@witradio.net. Better yet, don't keep the conversation between Stan and you. Share this article. Share the program. Start a conversation. And if the idea of becoming an apprentice to Jesus—in your life, profession, business and marketplace leadership—strikes a chord, talk with Stan about becoming part of the Jesus Entrepreneur Collective. Because perhaps the world does not need more people who merely admire Jesus. Perhaps it needs more people willing to apprentice themselves to him—and then have the courage to live like it.

Send us Fan MailWhat if I told you that you could increase your income by thirty thousand... fifty thousand... maybe even eighty thousand dollars a year... without seeing a single additional patient?Would you believe me if I told you the answer isn't working harder, squeezing in one more patient, staying later at the office, or sacrificing another evening with your family?What if I told you the answer is simply documenting the work you're already doing and allowing yourself to be paid appropriately for it?If that sounds too good to be true, stay with me, because today we're talking about one of the biggest financial leaks we see in physician practices across the country. It's not declining reimbursement. It's not staffing shortages. It's not rising overhead. Those are certainly challenges, but there's another issue that quietly costs physicians tens of thousands of dollars every year.It's undercoding.Specifically, physicians who are providing Level 4 care but continue to bill Level 3 visits out of habit, fear, or simply because no one ever taught them differently.If you've ever finished a full day of clinic, felt mentally exhausted, looked at your schedule, and wondered, "How am I working this hard and still feeling like my practice isn't where it should be financially?" then this episode is for you.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

Welcome to the Summer Leadership Reset on Partnering Leadership.We have more access to ideas than ever before.More books. More podcasts. More articles. More insights.The challenge isn't finding more information. It's spending enough time with the ideas that can change how we think, decide, and lead.I have seen this in my own life. The books and conversations that have influenced me most aren't the ones I rushed through and moved on from. They are the ones I returned to, wrestled with, and understood differently as my own experiences changed.After more than 450 Partnering Leadership conversations with CEOs, researchers, authors, and leadership thinkers, there are a few I continue coming back to because the ideas become more valuable the more we sit with them.Throughout July and August, I'll be sharing 10 of those conversations.They explore some of the questions I see leaders wrestling with most: adapting to change, building trust, making better decisions, rethinking work, using AI wisely, and creating organizations ready for what comes next.Whether you are listening for the first time or revisiting these conversations, I hope they help you find an insight you can apply and a question worth thinking about long after the episode ends.—MahanConnect with Mahan Tavakoli:Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

What does it take for groups of people to come together to do extraordinary things? Kevin sits down with Karina Mangu-Ward to discuss the habits that help teams thrive in complex and uncertain environments. Karina explains why exceptional teamwork requires more than a strong strategy, talented individuals, or simply working harder, and introduces three essential areas of focus: organizing for impact, deciding in uncertainty, and designing for learning. They talk about how living team charters keep people aligned as conditions change, how "even overs" clarify difficult tradeoffs between two valuable priorities, and why working in public allows teams to collaborate earlier, learn faster, and avoid wasted effort. Karina also encourages leaders to replace perfectionism with experimentation, create shared language around decision-making, and begin where there is energy rather than waiting for a company-wide mandate. About Karina Karina Mangu-Ward is the author of the forthcoming book Teams Who Meet the Moment: 9 Practices for Unlocking Performance and Growth in Uncertain Times . She is an organizational expert who has worked with PepsiCo, Planned Parenthood, Chanel and more and is a Partner at August. At August, she's had the privilege of working with some of the largest, most complex organizations in the world to shift their everyday ways of working. Before August, her adventures included conducting research on implicit bias, helping arts organizations behave as creatively behind the scenes as they do on stage, and running social innovation labs. If you buy Karina a coffee, she'd love to tell you how all of these experiences led her to exactly where she is now. Her motto is "get caught trying," which means she'd rather try and screw it up than not try at all. She lives with her partner and kids in Brooklyn, NY.

How often do you reach for cash when making a purchase? If you are like most Americans, it's not very often, and the bigger the purchase, the more likely you are to use a credit or debit card. Fraudsters are aware of these statistics so they develop tricky tactics to intercept your card information during the purchase process.  Links: Check out the news story covering gluing: https://abc7news.com/glue-in-atm-slot-chase-scam-tap-card-bank/12935385/ Learn more about Triangle's Better Checking account with ID Protection Check out TCU University for financial education tips and resources! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.   Now, more than ever, it's important to safeguard sensitive card information to prevent an interruption in your ability to make important purchases. It's often stressed to pay attention to any attempts to steal our information when we use our cards online, but the unfortunate reality is that even if the card stays in your physical possession while paying, there are several ways that your card information can be stolen or used fraudulently. Let's revisit two of these criminal practices, and learn how you can be your own superhero and stop fraud before it happens.  Skimming  You've probably heard about this one before. Skimming is a technique employed by criminals to steal sensitive payment card data, including credit or debit card numbers, PIN codes, and other personal information. Even though this illegal technique has been around for more than twenty years, it is still one of the most common types of card fraud. It typically occurs when a physical device, known as a skimmer, is placed on or near a legitimate card reader, such as an ATM or a point-of-sale (POS) terminal at a store or gas pump. The skimmer is designed to capture card data, while an additional component, like a hidden camera or keypad overlay, records PIN codes or other information about the payment card transaction. Even if you have a chip card, many card terminals still use the magnetic stripe on the back of the card in addition to or instead of the chip. The only transactions that are not subject to skimmers are those where you do not insert your card past the chip portion, therefore, the magnetic stripe is not readable, or you use Tap-to-Pay. Tap-to-Pay allows a cardholder to physically tap the card on the device, which uses short-range wireless card reader technology to access the account, rather than relying on the physical attributes of the card.     How to Detect a Skimmer:  Examine the Card Reader Carefully: When using an ATM, or a POS terminal at a store or fuel pump, check the device for anything that looks odd. Fraudsters may attach a skimmer directly over the card slot or PIN pad, resulting in something that is not the same color or shape or looks bulky. Look for any other signs of tampering, such as scratches, glue residue, or a loose-fitting card slot (touch to see if it moves). If anything seems suspicious, avoid using the machine and report it immediately.  Use Your Hand to Shield Your PIN: You may have developed a habit of using your hand to shield the keypad when entering your PIN code if you are in line at the grocery store, but what about when you are alone at an ATM or gas pump? You need to include this as a habit every time you enter your PIN, no matter where you are. Criminals often install tiny miniature cameras at the point where a skimmer is installed to capture your PIN, as the skimmer captures the information from your card. Use Secure and Trusted Devices: Whenever possible, use ATMs or payment terminals that are in well-lit, secure areas. When filling up, choose pumps close to and within sight of employees. Illegal skimmers must be installed by someone, and criminals will choose areas where they are the least likely to be noticed and caught. Monitor Your Accounts Regularly: Regularly review your bank statements, credit card statements, and transaction history for any unauthorized or suspicious activity. Report any discrepancies to your financial institution immediately.   Gluing or "Glue-and-Tap"  Gluing or Glue-and-Tap is a method that criminals are using at ATMs to access your bank account directly, skipping the need for your card information altogether. This scam typically occurs at a free-standing ATM in a well-trafficked area where people approach on foot. It goes like this. The perpetrator pours glue into the card reader, setting up the scam. Sometime later you visit the ATM to retrieve cash, but you find that you can't insert your card. A seemingly helpful bystander tells you that the machine is jammed, but if you tap your card, you can still make a withdrawal. At that point, you tap either your card (or phone), enter the PIN required for tap transactions, and leave, often even thanking the “helpful” stranger. The bystander is counting on you, the victim, not being familiar with this type of withdrawal and unaware that you will need to take an extra step to exit the account on the screen before leaving the ATM. Unlike when a card is inserted, and the account window closes when the card is removed, a tap transaction must be closed out on the screen. The criminal perpetrating this scam expects the victim to be unfamiliar with the process, and they can then drain the account that has been left open. Some victims even report being uncomfortable due to the bystander's presence; therefore, completing their transaction and being distracted in their effort to leave the area quickly and safely, leaving their account window open, even if they know better. Scammers utilized this method back in 2023 during a series of incidents in San Francisco, which was featured in a video news report.  To help protect yourself, avoid any ATM with a card reader that doesn't seem to work properly. If you are comfortable using the tap feature on your phone or card for transactions, always wait for the prompt asking if you are finished and confirm that your account is no longer accessible before leaving.  It's up to all of us to stay protected against identity theft, particularly in the case of payment card fraud. But if a criminal gets your payment card, they may not stop there. If you feel you may be a victim of identity theft, we have professionals standing by to help you get your life back on track. If you have a Better Checking account at Triangle, take a moment to review and activate your monitoring benefits. This will help you stay informed of any activity that could indicate you are a victim of identity theft.  If there are any other tips or topics you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

Send us Fan MailPlanning a medical office construction or renovation is one of the largest investments most physician owners will ever make—but it's also one of the least familiar. The difference between a project that finishes on time and on budget and one that's plagued by delays, change orders, and escalating costs often comes down to one thing: preparation.In this episode of Medical Money Matters, I sit down with my good friend Jim Lampus, co-founder of Norwest Contractors and DesignLab, to discuss why medical construction is an inherently uneven playing field. Physicians may only undertake one or two construction projects during their careers, while contractors manage them every day. Jim shares how healthcare leaders can level the playing field by asking the right questions, choosing the right construction partner, and insisting on thorough planning before the first wall is ever built.We also explore one of the biggest frustrations in medical construction: contractors who submit unrealistically low bids, only to make up the difference through a steady stream of costly change orders once construction begins. Jim explains why comprehensive due diligence, detailed preconstruction planning, and transparent estimating are the keys to avoiding unpleasant surprises and delivering a successful project.Whether you're building a new medical office, expanding your practice, or renovating your existing space, this episode is packed with practical advice that can save you time, money, and unnecessary stress while helping your project stay on schedule and on budget.

The New Age movement is more popular than ever. Practices like tarot cards, crystals, manifestation, astrology, energy healing, and spirit guides are often presented as harmless tools for personal growth. But what does the Bible say? In this episode, I sit down with Jac Marino Chen, author of Ensnared: Overcoming the Darkness of the New Age and Occult with the Light of God's Truth, to hear her powerful testimony of how Jesus rescued her from a life immersed in the occult, ritual magick, addiction, and spiritual deception. Jac's explanation of the gospel was so powerful it brought tears to my eyes. I know you'll walk away from this conversation encouraged and reminded that while the occult is real and spiritually dangerous, it is no match for the saving power of Jesus Christ. No one is beyond His reach. God is still breaking through the darkness, setting captives free, and transforming lives by His grace.
