This episode is all about the (sometimes surprising) benefits of comprehensive financing!

Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. Thank you so much for being here. I want you to know that the Dental A Team, we truly, truly love what we do. And I wanna start this out by just thanking all of you for allowing us to be here. I know we're with you in your car or while you're getting ready in the morning or while you're falling asleep at night, I don't know, maybe in your team meeting, but we're here with you somewhere or I wouldn't be able to say this and we value and appreciate that, the consulting team specifically. We love what we do, we love helping clients, we love helping people, we love helping practices and practice owners build a business that works for them and not them always working for the business. So I'm just super excited to be here today. I wanted to just shout out you guys, massive thank you for the support that you give us, that you continue to bring to us and just know we're here. Dental A Team is here for all of your needs and just reach out, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com anytime you need us. And I have with me today, Kristy, Miss Kristy, I adore you. Thank you so much for being here. I said on a different podcast we recorded that we have a slew of time together today and I'm just, I love it. It is the best way to end a call week. So thank you, Kristy, for being here with me today. How are you? And I'm excited because I think you're really excited about this topic. So how are you doing, Kristy? The Dental A Team (01:17) Yeah, I'm doing well. I'm grateful to have time with you. We don't always get time during the week, so I'm getting some extra Tiff time and it feels good to end the week this way. The Dental A Team (01:30) I agree. I agree. I committed recently, just so everyone knows, to being more intentional about my one-on-one time with the consultants. it really made me not just podcasting, but like actual one-on-one time. But it made me think yesterday while I was going through the schedule, kind of figuring it out, it made me think of doctors too and practices. And this is not in alignment with our, get to it, we'll get to profit in a second, but it is kind of in alignment with profit because We tend to forget, we just get in the machine of doing and in the machine of business and we forget that there's people and that you're not the only one who's busy or stressed or what have you and that the team is counting on you, the team needs you. So my leads and my doctors, it's just like a friendly nudge, a friendly reminder that if you're feeling stressed, you probably need to open up some time in your schedule to insert some team time. And while we push our clients to do one-on-ones, I do one-on-ones every month. with our consultants, but sometimes you just need one-on-one time that's not a one-on-one. You know what I mean? You just need connection. And that's what I call it, is I call it our connection time. So we have our one-on-ones, and then we have our connection time. And I think in office, it's a little bit easier, because you guys are side-by-side and you're talking, but still, to just have that 10, 15 minutes, it's like, hey girl, tell me how your life is. What's new? What's going on? And really connect with people. It's my strong nudge to remind you guys to give the kudos, give the connection, and make time for the people who are there doing this with you. So, Kristy, thank you. Thank you for bringing that up. And I am thoroughly enjoying this because I've had so much Kristy time and I get time tomorrow morning. So I am really enjoying this week and it really lights my life up. So thank you. Now. The Dental A Team (03:17) You're welcome. I was going to tell you, I love that you say that and I truly do believe this does tie to profits. And I know in practice we're super, super busy. I like to call it, go break bread with your people. Like be intentional with the time, even if you have to combine it, go break bread, take them out, get the work done on reviewing what you need to review, but then connect as people. And I do think that that reaps rewards in your profits because The Dental A Team (03:24) I agree. The Dental A Team (03:47) The teams that do this are more connected and they jive together. So I do think it ties together. The Dental A Team (03:53) I agree, thank you, I agree. Now tell me, Kristy, we've got quick tips to increase profit, and honestly, this is a quick tip to increase profit. We'll get you a couple more, but Kristy, tell me, because I agree, I think the connection does, but what about the connection do you think it is that does help the profit? It does help people really be on the same page and same team? What is that doing for the bottom line from a numbers standpoint? Because we can see it from an emotional standpoint and the relationship, but from a numbers standpoint, what do you see? in those practices that do go break bread together. The Dental A Team (04:26) Yeah, I love that you say that because it's connecting as humans and also like letting us see each other in different ways. It again, we talk about this so much. We look through loops, the providers do looking for problems. So really good at being nitpicky and finding problems. And you know, maybe you have the teammate that was late three times this week. And when you actually sit down and find out my gosh, their grandma's going through cancer and you didn't know. It just sheds things in a different light and it lets us serve each other versus when we're in that critical mindset, we pull apart. So it really does connect us together. And when we're connected together, even the person that's going through the trauma or turmoil, they feel safe in the environment and protected and lifted up by their team. So they can leave it at the door. I know we talk about that all the time and as humans, it's almost a false thing to say, because when you're in turmoil, it just doesn't stop. But when you know people understand, it can be your freeing space for just a few minutes or a few hours while you're at work. So it creates a different understanding and it allows you to connect as a team. The Dental A Team (05:42) Yeah, and thank you. I agree. And that in itself, I think allows you all to be on the same ⁓ wavelength, like the same page we're connected where we're able, well, we're able to ask better questions and we're more comfortable, we're more vulnerable, and we're able to say when we need help. And I think that's massive because when we can be vulnerable with each other and say, hey, I'm not, I don't know what this means. I don't know how to credential a doctor. tell me what do you suggest? Where can I learn it? Or we're just able to speak to problems that we're having or areas we need help in. Makes it easier to ensure that we are hitting those goals, because otherwise we're kind of faking it till we make it, thinking I'm the only one with an issue and I'm the only one who's stressed out and I'm the only one sitting in this space. But when you do have that alignment and connection, it's much easier for a team to be vulnerable with each other. And then we actually can push KPIs and we can push goals and we can create profit because we're in alignment. The Dental A Team (06:46) Yeah, you know what's funny? I went through a HR course one time and I remember them saying the biggest thing that's going to determine a new employee staying is how well they feel received. And I like to say truly, like, that goes for all your team members. And sometimes when we get in the rut of our day to day and we see the same faces every day, we forget to take care of each other. And so taking Like I said, it doesn't have to be fancy, but get out of your space and reconnect as a human. It's gonna reap rewards on how they serve your patients too. They're gonna show up differently for each other and patients. The Dental A Team (07:23) Yeah. Yeah. ⁓ that's a massive one. Yeah, you're right. You're right. I love it. Thank you, Kristy That was that was fun. I know that wasn't ⁓ what you had in mind yet, but I it. I liked it. So everyone, there's one quick tip. ⁓ I think it's quick. think it's it's easy, but it's intentional. So you have to be very intentional about your schedule and how you're going to accomplish it. So set your goal. Do the thing. Now, Kristy, I am really intrigued and excited to hear your Quick tip on, what do we call it? Increasing profit is what we're calling this one. So your quick tip on increasing profit. What is your, what is it? I'm so excited. You guys, she just like lit up when I told her. She's like, I've got an idea. And I'm just as shocked as you all are to hear it here. We're all hearing it the first time together. Let's go, let's hear it. The Dental A Team (08:15) You think I'm going to say AR and I'm not. The Dental A Team (08:18) I did! The Dental A Team (08:21) Actually, it is part of it and we'll get to it. But the one that I'm thinking about right now is get to comprehensive financing. Everybody wants to just phase out phase one and you guys are tripping over dollars to make two. Like find a solution that gets people healthy. Then you can always back up to phase one if we can't find a solution. But so many times we dive into just the first phase. The Dental A Team (08:29) Mm. The Dental A Team (08:48) and we tap people out and then it's not till next year. So just try something different and get permission to share all you see clinically so your TC's can present comprehensive finances. The Dental A Team (09:05) my gosh, you did. You came in swinging with that one. Okay, thank you. That is brilliant and I love that. And it is a quick tip. Now explain, define, make definitions here. So what would comprehensive financing by that, what do you mean? The Dental A Team (09:19) What I mean is out of everything the doctor talked about, the total cost to get you healthy is, right? Presenting and finding a solution so they have a plan to get healthy. We're always gonna let the patient be in the driver's seat so we can do it in their timeframe or however their budget allows. But for the most part, give them a plan to be healthy, especially if that's what their goal is versus I don't wanna shock them. Literally the other day I had a doc on and I was like, okay, so what you're telling me is if I come into you as a new patient and you're my doctor and you think I have cancer, you're not going to tell me that you're going to like just plant a little seed and then you're going to it come back and you're going to spring it on me. get permission. Well, number one, get in relationship with your patient and find out what their goals are and then get permission to share. And then also tell them we're going to The Dental A Team (10:01) haha The Dental A Team (10:15) we're gonna do this, they get to decide how fast or how slow we go. And so with that, then it can guide you because so many times I was telling, I remember back when I very first started, there was a doctor and he'd treatment plan crowns in all quadrants. And of course it was an elderly lady that had a budget, lived on a fixed budget. And I thought I was doing great, because I was just gonna get the first tooth done that was broken and obvious. And one month later she called and was like, all I was doing was eating bread and that tooth broke. And I was like, so truly had I presented a solution that fit in her budget and she could get them all done at the same time, it would have been better for her and the practice. So I'm just challenging you to start with everything and then you can always go backward and you will capture more. The Dental A Team (10:48) no. The Dental A Team (11:12) doing that. The Dental A Team (11:14) I love that idea. how does, thank you for the definition, how does that improve the profit point for them? The Dental A Team (11:22) Yeah, you're doing more treatment on one person. It doesn't take as many patients and ⁓ I can schedule it all right now. And in fact, know, the same doctor that I was talking about, and I say this when I'm coaching my clients, I wish I was a brilliant person that thought about it, and I didn't even think about it at the time. It was years later when I learned better, but that doctor used to do wisdom teeth and practice. And so I'd sit there and we'd diagnose people with fillings all over their mouth and he'd say, ⁓ you don't want to be numb on both sides. It's so uncomfortable. We'll do this side, then that side. And the next patient would come and they'd need wisdom teeth and he'd go, ⁓ you want them to do them all at the same time. You don't want to go through that again. Just we'll up everything. And I'm like, wait a minute. It was good for this person, but not that. How about we just let them decide? Do you want to do more, right? Versus, or do you want to do less and come more often? The Dental A Team (12:13) Yeah. The Dental A Team (12:19) So again, it doesn't take as many people and it slows down your day if we're doing getting people healthy. The Dental A Team (12:19) Yeah. Yeah, I love that because it's building better blocks in your schedule. It's utilizing your time. Your dollar per hour is going to increase and you're not as busy. You're not running around from patient to patient and room to room quite as much because you've got bigger cases that you're working on at a time. Yeah. The Dental A Team (12:49) You got it. And naturally, your overhead goes down. I used one instead of five bibs. I used one saliva ejector instead, you know. The Dental A Team (12:53) Yeah. Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah. And time in the chair, marketing dollars spent. Yeah. And you're targeting a different demographic of patient avatar, because you're targeting a patient avatar that wants to get healthy and can figure out the finances with you rather than just new patients who might need things diagnosed. I love that. Well, you you shocked me. You did it. I love that. So The Dental A Team (13:03) Yeah. You got it. Yeah. The Dental A Team (13:26) And I think actually those really tie in together now that I was going to repeat them and really in order to comprehensively diagnose and finance, right, to get the dollars for that, the team has to be in alignment. Like those things just don't, they don't happen for teams that aren't on board with your dental philosophies. And in order to be on board with your dental philosophies, you got to be connected as humans. or they do start, I'm hands down telling you the truth from experience. If you lose the connection, they start to doubt you and what they're doing and what you're doing. They start really looking with a fine tooth comb at the things and it's just not worth it. So the connection piece, I do believe, like you said, it helps the profit points in multiple ways. And I think that's how to spearhead the comprehensive diagnosis and financing. The Dental A Team (14:00) you The Dental A Team (14:23) Also because then I can see a hygiene department who's on board with getting people healthy, co-diagnosing more comprehensively and pushing doctors to remember to diagnose comprehensively, which also will help on all areas, obviously. The Dental A Team (14:38) Absolutely. I love that you say that. And I always use the saying Tiff, ⁓ happy team creates happy patients. You know, it happens by default. If you have a happy team, they serve the patients well and the money follows. The Dental A Team (14:53) Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. I totally agree with you. think everything that we do in life, if we can come at it with the right mindset and the right energy, we're pouring out the right, if we're pouring out the energy we want to receive, we can only see that energy. And so we only receive that energy. And even when people come across with a different energy, we're like, ⁓ dang, but it doesn't hit, it doesn't penetrate. It doesn't shake our whole days. And I remember so many times having team members that are like, this Tiff, this patient said this, this and this that ruined my whole day. And I'm like, well, why the, why are you giving them that power? Like, what do you mean? It's 11 a.m. Like we got, we got six more hours together, lady. Like, what are we doing here? So when you have that connection and I have had, know, when I was in office, I was office manager, I did all the things wrong and I did some things right. And I learned and I, and I failed and I stumbled and I got back up and I know one of the hardest pieces of culture was towing that line of being the supportive, you can come vent, friend, manager, and being the accountability space of like, we're gonna find solutions and just building the culture and the energy. it's not easy, it's hard and it takes work and it really takes, think everyone, you said it earlier, just really being in alignment. with where we're headed and being connected on a relationship level that isn't just, it's personal and we've got this tangible relationship in between us, but it's also here because of those goals, because of what we're after, because of what we're doing, if that makes sense, rather than it just being the friendship. Yeah. The Dental A Team (16:45) Yes, 100 % I agree with you. The Dental A Team (16:49) ⁓ I love that. So comprehensive diagnosis in general, I think helps profit points and then allowing your team the space and the ways to finance. What have you seen, Kristy, in your ⁓ experience, the best ways to do that? you said, within a budget, what are they doing? How are they doing this? The Dental A Team (17:12) Yeah, well, again, I think it's getting in relationship with the patient and finding out what they really want, what's bringing them in. I mean, we talk about you got to, I say patients buy what they want, not necessarily what they need, right? And in dentistry, again, I'm there with you, we do things backward. We all want to say they're buying implants. No, no, no, they're buying what the implant gives them. They're not buying implants, but we want to focus on, look at this, you know? And so we have to get to their level and figure out what is it gonna give them and tie everything back to that. And when you achieve that and you can show them how to get what they want, you're gonna win, you're gonna win. And then it's just about making it fit in their budget. So. The Dental A Team (17:43) Yeah. Yeah, to the patient drivers. Yeah. Yeah, I remember I had ⁓ one of the first all on four cases that my doctor I worked for ever did. He, it was in the TC room and I remember hearing the treatment coordinator being like, what about that? Like, what do you miss eating? And the guy was like, I want a steak. I haven't had a steak in so long. because he just had regular dentures. He's like, I want to chew a steak. And I remember, he wasn't buying an all-in-four denture. He was buying the steak. He was buying the lifestyle that he wanted to live. And I remember him coming back later and being like, I ate so much steak. He was just so happy. And the issues or the... ⁓ Like the rubbing, know, there's just so many, there's so many tweaks all in fours. They come with so many headaches, that's okay. He was like, I'm fine with it. I can still, I can eat my steak. Like let's fix it, let's keep going. But you're right. And anything we do in life in general, Brody used to say to me, we go to the store. He still does this, he's 17. But he's like, is it a want or a need? Mom, is it a want or a need? Yeah, my little four year old in the cart. I'm like, bro, we're here for me. So you don't need to ask me those questions. But is it a want or a need? And I'd be like, well, it's a want that serves a need. And so we're buying, I'm buying it, right? But those are the spaces that we think people are buying for need, right? And that it's like, I'm buying an implant because I'm missing a tooth, but we're buying an implant because I want to be able to eat. We don't buy things just for need, we buy things typically. I'll buy the expensive toilet paper because I want an expensive toilet paper lifestyle. I need the toilet paper, right? Like you're gonna, everything you do in life is based off of a want. So I love that you said that, Kristy, thank you. And you did, you came in with a shocker. I was so excited and my gosh, you nailed it. It was a home run. So I love it. I think we gave two quick tips on how to increase profit. I think they're very easily implemented. Again, easy versus intentional. The Dental A Team (19:52) Yeah. The Dental A Team (20:15) Be intentional and Kristy, thank you so much. I can go all day on action items, but if you had to serve them with two action items today, what would you tell them to do? The Dental A Team (20:27) Ooh, boy, get in relationship with your team and see them as humans first and foremost, and then choose to get out of your comfort zone and share with your patients everything. Get permission to share everything and ease them and tell them you're gonna be here for the journey and we're gonna do it in their timeframe. Let them choose, don't choose for The Dental A Team (20:49) nailed it. Yep, I love it. Thank you. Awesome. All right, listeners, I hope you loved this one as much as I loved this one. I had fun. Kristy, thank you for taking us down that journey. It was beautifully expansive. And if you guys can even just take a little glimpse into what it's like working with Kristy, today was your day.

The Cutting Edge Japan Business Show By Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Presenting to a very large audience demands a different approach because distance changes what people can see, hear, and feel. The core problem is not your content — it is visibility and connection at scale. When the venue grows, you shrink. The solution is to deliberately "big up" your delivery so the people seated at the far extremes still experience your presence and message. What changes when you move from a normal room to a large venue? Large venues create the tyranny of distance. Because the back rows sit so far away, the speaker looks "quite small" from those seats, which means subtle gestures and normal stage behaviour lose impact. Therefore you must scale up what you do on stage so you do not look like "a peanut" to people at the far extremes. When you accept that the room makes you smaller, you stop relying on nuance and start designing for the cheap seats at the back. Mini-summary: Because distance reduces your visibility, you must deliberately enlarge your delivery so your message still lands. How do you diagnose what the back row experiences? Arrive early and sit in the most far flung locations: the last row at the back or the rear seats on an elevated tier. Because you see the stage from the hardest viewpoint, you learn how small a speaker looks from there and you adjust accordingly. This is a practical, reality-based check: instead of guessing, you confirm what the audience will actually see. Then you can design your presence for the far extremes, not only for those close to the stage. Mini-summary: Because you cannot improve what you have not observed, sit in the back and design for what you see. How do you avoid stage-edge mistakes in big venues? Big venues often have a defined space between the front row and the stage, sometimes with an orchestra pit. Because you will stand very close to the apron to be more easily seen, you must know where "far enough forward" is before you begin. The risk increases once you start scanning for faces high up on the back tiers, because your eyes go up and you stop looking down where you are walking. Curved stages make it easier to forget the edge is not straight. Therefore, check the front of the stage beforehand so you can move with confidence and stay safe. Mini-summary: Because large stages include hidden hazards, you must inspect the front edge early and set your safe boundary. What microphone choice and gesture size works best at scale? Use a pin microphone so your hands stay free for gestures. Because you are effectively "a peanut" to the people in the cheap seats at the back, your gestures must become much larger than anything you have used before. Therefore, use double-handed gestures to fill up more of the stage with your presence. When you use open palms to signal trust, spread your hands far wider than the boundaries of your body. When you indicate something "high", raise your hand as high above your head as possible so it has impact. Mini-summary: Because the audience sits far away, you need free hands and much larger gestures for visibility. How do you use audience participation to create energy in a massive room? Ask the audience to raise their hands for a common experience, but do not overdo it. Because many people do the same thing at the same time, crowd dynamics and crowd psychology kick in: the room becomes "infected" with energy and agreement. This shared movement also feeds back into you on stage, giving you a serious energy lift. When a big audience leans in, the connection feels electric, so use that surge to reinforce your message and build momentum. Mini-summary: Because synchronised audience action amplifies energy, a simple show of hands can lift the entire room. How do you project ki, voice, and eye contact to the back wall? Marshal your ki or chi for the task and mentally push your energy to the very back wall of the hall. Because you are miked up, you do not need to yell; yelling will distort the sound. Instead, direct your voice strength to the last rows without forcing volume. Then use your eyes to reach the whole space. Break the audience into a baseball diamond: left, centre, right field, plus inner and outer field. Work those six sectors by picking out individuals and looking straight at their faces. Even if they are blurry outlines to you, people around them will feel seen because they believe you are looking at them. Mini-summary: Because a large hall demands deliberate reach, project energy and voice to the back while distributing eye contact by sectors. How should you move on a big stage without distracting people? Avoid nervous wandering, where a speaker goes up and down continuously and distracts from the key message. Because constant movement draws attention to itself, it pulls focus away from what you are saying. Instead, use controlled movement with purpose. Walk slowly to the extreme left edge, stop, settle, and speak to that side. Return to centre, stop, settle, and speak. Then move to the right and repeat. Keep cycling through walk-and-settle so each section feels included, and do not forget the front row because your presence has the strongest immediate impact there. Mini-summary: Because pacing distracts, move with intention: walk, stop, settle, and speak to each section of the room. Author Bio Dr Greg Story is the host of THE Cutting Edge Japan Business Show.

In 1927, four year old Billy Gaffney disappeared from his New York City apartment building while playing in the hallway. When questioned, the only other child present gave a chilling response, saying “the boogeyman took him.” Billy was never seen again, and at the time, no one understood what those words truly meant.A year later, a man using the name Frank Howard gained the trust of the Budd family after responding to a job advertisement. Presenting himself as a harmless farmer, he convinced them to let their ten year old daughter, Gracie Budd, accompany him to what he claimed was a birthday gathering. She never returned.Years later, a letter sent to Gracie's mother revealed disturbing details that only the person responsible could have known. The correspondence led authorities to Albert Fish, a man already linked to multiple child disappearances across the country.At trial, Fish confessed to numerous crimes. His insanity defense was rejected, and in 1936 he was executed at Sing Sing Prison. Nearly a century later, the Albert Fish case remains one of the most unsettling chapters in American criminal history.Follow True Crime Recaps for weekly cases that explore the darkest corners of history and the justice system.

Tune in to our weekly LIVE Mastermind Q+A Podcast for expert advice, peer collaboration, and actionable insights on success in the Probate, Divorce, Late Mortgage/Pre-Foreclosure, and Aged Expired niches! Today's Mastermind episode dives into the realities of probate, divorce, and mortgage-related challenges, with sharp advice from seasoned coaches and heartfelt user stories. The conversation covers practical strategies for building momentum through consistent outreach, leveraging relationships with attorneys, and turning early wins into repeat business. Attendees share experiences from probate leads, late mortgage scenarios, and pre-foreclosure contexts, including how to present multiple options (sale, refinance, or loan modification) in a respectful, non-pushy way. The team emphasizes the importance of tracking results, maintaining a simple CRM, and using handwritten outreach to stand out in a crowded market. We explore the Do-On-Sale clause, title insurance considerations, and how to structure transactions to protect all parties while keeping doors open for future opportunities. The tone remains collaborative and action-oriented, highlighting how small, persistent actions (one call, one letter, one meeting) can compound into significant deals over time. Viewers gain a practical playbook for conversations with executors, heirs, and attorneys, plus mindsets that reduce fear of rejection and accelerate progress. If you're working probate cases, dealing with divorce-related housing, or navigating late payments in pre-foreclosure, this episode offers concrete tactics you can apply this week to generate momentum and close more opportunities. The session also emphasizes coaching support, accountability, and the value of authentic relationship-building. Key Takeaways Consistent action is what creates momentum, turning raw leads into real conversations, appointments, and ultimately signed agreements. Proactively building relationships with probate and estate attorneys creates a long-term pipeline of repeat opportunities far beyond a single deal. Tracking your daily dials, conversations, and outreach activity builds momentum and reveals the numbers that drive higher conversion rates. Handwritten notes, mailed touches, and small personal efforts stand out in a digital world and can be the deciding factor in earning a client's trust. Presenting multiple solutions (selling, refinancing, investor options, or modification) positions you as a problem-solver rather than someone just trying to list a home. Understanding title nuances, subject-to scenarios, and due-on-sale clauses allows you to confidently navigate situations where others back away. Using a simple CRM with consistent follow-up and weekly accountability ensures no lead gets forgotten and every opportunity is properly worked.

Mastering Virtual Presentations: Tips and TechniquesSUMMARY:Virtual presentations are not going away. Job interviews, client meetings, and hybrid work all mean your first impression is increasingly happening through a webcam. In this episode, Jelmer Smits argues most organisations are still presenting like it's 2020, stuck in survival mode with poor setups, flat delivery, and zero audience care. The result is not professionalism. It is the awkward middle ground where competence and warmth both collapse.We unpack a simple charisma lens, competence plus warmth, and why virtual delivery often drains both. Jelmer explains why “Zoom fatigue” is frequently a boredom problem, not a platform problem, and how speakers can create energy and engagement without becoming an over-caffeinated game show host. The key is variation and audience comfort: helping people feel safe, heard, and understood, especially when they are joining from home and juggling distractions.You will hear practical fixes that go beyond “be more engaging.” Jelmer shares how micro breaks reset attention, why you should ask more questions (including chat prompts, polls, and rhetorical questions), and how to baseline participation early so the session becomes interactive by default. We also talk about slide mistakes, including the difference between presentation slides and handout slides, and why “less slides, more face” usually wins online.We get into the details most speakers ignore, camera angle, lighting, sound, and background choices, including why messy real backgrounds and glitchy fake ones both damage trust. Jelmer also makes the case for practising with feedback rather than alone, plus the underrated skill that saves you when tech fails: improv. Not “be funny” improv, but the ability to shift attention, buy time, and keep the session moving when something breaks.Finally, Jelmer shares what he is building next, including a potential world championship for online presenting and a practice-based learning platform designed to give speakers real rehearsal time, not passive “course consumption.”Links mentioned: Jelmer's work at completepresenter.com, his LinkedIn and his offer of a virtual presenting cheat sheet for listeners and workbook.

Fleet managers everywhere are playing defense when it comes to vehicle replacement. In this hard-hitting episode of The Fleet Success Show, RTA CEO Josh Turley is joined by Fleet Management Analyst Griffin Scott to dig into the real cost of reactive replacement planning, and why it's hurting your maintenance program, your budget, and your credibility with leadership. Griffin shares stories from more than 100 replacement studies he's conducted across the country and breaks down a simple, math-backed formula that every fleet manager can use to justify their replacement funding. Together, they expose the "doom loop" created by underfunded fleets and show how a strong replacement plan can unlock availability, control costs, and even help solve your technician shortage. Whether you're battling aging assets, getting steamrolled at budget meetings, or just tired of hearing "we'll look at it next year," this episode will arm you with the strategy, language, and validation you need to take action. Key Takeaways: 50% of most fleets are overdue for replacement, and many don't even realize it Without a plan, the loudest voice gets the money, not the assets that need it most Reactive planning compounds technician shortages and skyrockets downtime A simple equation can determine your true replacement needs: Total fleet value / average lifecycle = annual replacement budget Presenting to council? Use clear visuals, focus on long-term impacts, and show how deferred capex becomes rising op-ex Internal Service Funds (ISFs) and chargeback models help secure sustainable funding Speaker Bios: Josh Turley is the CEO of RTA: The Fleet Success Company.

The Next Time Might Be the Last Time Your Child Plays Baseball In this episode, host Deven Morgan delivers a comprehensive ABCA convention recap and gets personal about what it means to coach his son—possibly for the last time. The bulk of the show tracks Deven's ongoing mission to establish universal pitch count standards and cross-organizational reporting, from presenting directly to MLB and USA Baseball, to navigating the politics of getting Little League, Perfect Game, USSSA, and private equity-backed leagues to buy in. He breaks down new MLB data showing 34% of Tommy John surgeries from 2010–2022 were performed on players 17 and under, reinforces the case for a "coalition of the willing," and recaps his speaking slot on the MLB Arm Care Panel. Along the way, Deven takes a swing at lacrosse marketing ("America's oldest sport"—miss me with that), unpacks the multi-sport vs. single-sport debate by emphasizing that athletic development must accompany skill work, and announces a podcast-exclusive 25% discount on Driveline youth assessments. The episode closes with an emotional reflection on coaching Danny into third base during a recent scrimmage—connecting that moment to a nine-year-old version of the same kid sliding into the same bag years earlier—and a reminder to every youth coach: the next time might be the last time.Timestamps00:00 Intro01:45 Housekeeping: AxeBat code DL2002:05 NEW: 25% off youth assessments (code: PODCAST)04:30 Lacrosse "America's oldest sport" rant08:35 ABCa recap: universal pitch counts & reporting12:50 Presenting to MLB & USA Baseball15:15 Coalition of the willing & Youth Summit progress18:00 Pitch Smart 1.0 politics21:55 Pitch Safe app & Pulse workload data27:30 MLB updating pitch guidelines28:55 New data: 34% of TJ surgeries are 17-and-under30:00 Coaching in the HitTrax cage with AxeBat33:10 MLB Network filming & Arm Care Panel prep35:25 Youth Hot Stove panel recap38:30 Multi-sport play deep dive45:10 College recruiting: athleticism vs. skill46:15 Scrimmage story: last time coaching Danny?48:45 The triple—"to me, to me, to me"52:30 Flashback: nine-year-old Danny, same bag58:40 The next time might be the last time1:03:45 "This Week in Pitch Counts" returns1:05:20 Outro

Behavior Gap Radio: Exploring human behavior...with a Sharpie
Spaces of Anticolonialism: Delhi's Urban Governmentalities (U Georgia Press, 2025) is the first book-length account of anticolonialism in Delhi, as the capital of Britain's empire in India. It pioneers a spatial governmentality analysis of the networks, mobilizations, and hidden spaces of anticolonial parrhesia, or courageous speech and actions, in the two decades before independence in 1947. Reading across imperial and nationalist archives, newspapers, memoirs, oral histories, and interviews, Stephen Legg exposes subaltern geographies and struggles across both the new and old cities, which have traditionally been neglected in favor of the elite spaces of New Delhi. Presenting the dual cities as one interconnected political landscape, Legg studies Indian National Congress efforts to mobilize and marshal support between the mass movements of Civil Disobedience (1930-34) and Quit India (1942-43). The book's six chapters compare the two movements in terms of their public spaces of nonviolent anticolonialism, their problematization by violence, and their legacies. This bottom-up analysis, focused on the streets, bazaars, neighborhoods, homes, and undergrounds of the two cities, foregrounds the significance of physical and political space; it highlights the pioneering role of women in crafting these spaces; and it exposes the microtechniques that Congress used to encourage Gandhi's nonviolence and to tolerate its testing in the face of the rising popularity of the radical left. Legg's rereading of Michel Foucault's final lectures on parrhesia produces a bold new approach to questions of postcolonialism, resistance, and South Asian governmentalities. This allows anticolonialism to be read not as an outside but as a coherent and bottom-up project of self-transformation and space-making that was elite coordinated but whose sovereignty lay with a disobedient and not always nonviolent public. This book provides an innovative and restive historical geography of spaces of anticolonialism in the capital of contemporary India's 1.4 billion people.

The deepest dive yet into the heart and soul, secret affairs, unexplored alliances, and bitter feuds of a generally worshipped, intermittently reviled American icon. Perhaps no founding father is as mysterious as Thomas Jefferson. The author of the Declaration of Independence was both a gifted wordsmith and a bundle of nerves. His superior knowledge of the human heart is captured in the impassioned appeal he brought to the Declaration. But as a champion of the common man who lived a life of privilege on a mountaintop plantation of his own design, he has eluded biographers who have sought to make sense of his inner life. In Being Thomas Jefferson: An Intimate History (Bloomsbury, 2026), acclaimed Jefferson scholar Andrew Burstein peels away layers of obfuscation, taking us past the veneer of the animated letter-writer to describe a confused lover and a misguided humanist, too timid to embrace antislavery.Jefferson was a soft-spoken man who recoiled from direct conflict, yet a master puppeteer in politics. Whenever he left Monticello, where he could control his environment, he suffered debilitating headaches that plagued him for decades, until he finally retired from public life. So, what did it feel like to be Thomas Jefferson? Burstein explains the decision to take as his mistress Sally Hemings, the enslaved half-sister of his late wife, who bore him six children, none of whom he acknowledged. Presenting a society that encouraged separation between public and private, appearance and essence, Burstein paints a dramatic picture of early American culture and brings us closer to Jefferson's life and thought than ever before.

But as a champion of the common man who lived a life of privilege on a mountaintop plantation of his own design, he has eluded biographers who have sought to make sense of his inner life. In Being Thomas Jefferson: An Intimate History (Bloomsbury, 2026), acclaimed Jefferson scholar Andrew Burstein peels away layers of obfuscation, taking us past the veneer of the animated letter-writer to describe a confused lover and a misguided humanist, too timid to embrace antislavery.Jefferson was a soft-spoken man who recoiled from direct conflict, yet a master puppeteer in politics. Whenever he left Monticello, where he could control his environment, he suffered debilitating headaches that plagued him for decades, until he finally retired from public life. So, what did it feel like to be Thomas Jefferson? Burstein explains the decision to take as his mistress Sally Hemings, the enslaved half-sister of his late wife, who bore him six children, none of whom he acknowledged. Presenting a society that encouraged separation between public and private, appearance and essence, Burstein paints a dramatic picture of early American culture and brings us closer to Jefferson's life and thought than ever before.

A sweeping history of the violence perpetrated by governments committed to extreme forms of secularism in the twentieth centuryA popular truism derived from the Enlightenment holds that violence is somehow inherent to religion, to which political secularism offers a liberating solution. But this assumption ignores a glaring modern reality: that putatively progressive regimes committed to secularism have possessed just as much and often a vastly greater capacity for violence as those tied to a religious identity. In Broken Altars, Thomas Albert Howard presents a powerful account of the misery, deaths, and destruction visited on religious communities by secularist regimes in the twentieth century.Presenting three principal forms of modern secularism that have arisen since the Enlightenment—passive secularism, combative secularism, and eliminationist secularism—Howard argues that the latter two have been especially violence-prone. Westerners do not fully grasp this, however, because they often mistake the first form, passive secularism, for secularism as a whole. But a disconcertingly more complicated picture emerges with the adoption of a broader global vision. Admitting different species of secularism, greater historical perspective, and case studies drawn from the former Soviet Union, Turkey, Mexico, Spain, Czechoslovakia, Albania, Mongolia, and China, among other countries, Howard calls into question the conventional tale of modernity as the pacifying triumph of secularism over a benighted religious past. Thomas Albert Howard is professor of humanities and history and holder of the Phyllis and Richard Duesenberg Chair in Christian Ethics at Valparaiso University. He is the author of many books, including The Faiths of Others: A History of Interreligious Dialogue. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature. YouTube channel.
