In Episode 756, it's time to welcome back to the podcast a creator whose comics we particularly enjoy, and that's Jonathan Hedrick from Brackish! Jonathan has a Kickstarter happening right now to support issues #1 & 2 of Brackish, so we talk about how these comics were created, who the characters are, and what else Jonathan has coming! Here's how Brackish is described: "Two families have lived for generations on separate sides of a Florida swamp. The Tappers control the freshwater area where they make their moonshine, and the Saltzmans control the saltwater side from which their family fortune has grown from the abundant tourism. A truce was made a century ago to end their constant feud over the brackish part where their lands unite. But when the youngest Tapper son and youngest Saltzman daughter fall in love, the truce is broken and both sides of the swamp will never be the same again." This project has already met its crowdfunding goal, but you can still contribute by pledging until this Tuesday, August 4, at 10:00 p.m. EDT. Be sure to support this high-power project as soon as you listen to this episode!

The rapid growth of artificial intelligence is creating enormous demand for advanced memory chips. As chip manufacturers move more of their resources toward High Bandwidth Memory, or HBM, the supply of traditional RAM and flash memory is being squeezed. In this episode, Skip Montreux and Samantha Vega examine the global memory shortage that has been dubbed “RAMageddon” and explain why it is increasing the cost of laptops, smartphones, cars, medical equipment, and many other products. Skip begins by explaining the three main types of memory involved in the current shortage. RAM allows computers and other devices to operate software, while flash memory stores data after a device has been turned off. High Bandwidth Memory, or HBM, is a faster and more powerful form of memory that is essential for running artificial intelligence systems and large language models. Skip and Samantha then look at why HBM production is reducing the supply of traditional memory. Producing one wafer of HBM can use the same manufacturing resources as three wafers of standard RAM. As demand for AI infrastructure increases, memory manufacturers are therefore moving more of their production capacity toward HBM. They also discuss the role of major technology companies such as Amazon Web Services, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle. These companies are investing heavily in data centers, which require large amounts of HBM. This demand has encouraged manufacturers to prioritize the AI market over the consumer electronics market. The episode also examines Micron's decision to close its Crucial consumer memory brand and redirect resources toward HBM production. Next, Skip explains how HBM has disrupted the traditional boom-and-bust cycle of the memory chip industry. In the past, higher prices encouraged manufacturers to expand production. Once the new production capacity became available, supply increased and prices fell. However, strong and continuing demand from the AI industry has changed this familiar pattern. Finally, Skip and Samantha examine the consequences for businesses and consumers. Contract prices for RAM increased by between 90 and 95 percent, while flash memory prices rose by 75 percent. Delivery lead times have also extended beyond 58 weeks, and some manufacturers must pay for their orders in advance. These pressures are raising the cost of any product that requires computer memory. This episode helps listeners understand the global memory chip market while building practical Business English skills. In this episode, you will learn: What RAM, flash memory, and High Bandwidth Memory are. Why HBM is essential for artificial intelligence and data centers. How producing HBM reduces the manufacturing capacity available for standard RAM. How AI demand has disrupted the traditional boom-and-bust cycle of the memory industry. Why RAM and flash memory prices are increasing. How longer delivery times and advance-payment requirements affect manufacturers. Do you like what you hear?

Amapiano zählt zu den spannendsten elektronischen Genres der vergangenen Jahre. Entstanden in Südafrika, geprägt von tiefen Log Drums, versetzten Grooves und einer starken Community-Kultur, hat sich der Sound inzwischen weit über Afrika hinaus verbreitet.In dieser Episode spricht Marc Bohn mit Producer Felix Flavour über seinen Weg von Fruity Loops, Trance und Hip-Hop hin zu Amapiano. Felix erzählt, warum ihn das Genre nach einer langen musikalischen Pause wieder zurück zur Produktion gebracht hat, wie seine ersten Tracks entstanden sind und weshalb Amapiano für ihn weit mehr als nur ein Clubsound ist.Außerdem geht es um Studiosessions in Südafrika, kollaboratives Arbeiten, die Rolle von FL Studio im Genre, ungewöhnliche Drop-Strukturen und die Frage, warum viele Amapiano-Tracks trotz minimalistischer Elemente eine enorme Sogwirkung entwickeln.Felix gibt außerdem Einblicke in sein Projekt „The Amapiano Alphabet“, seine Produktionsweise in Cubase sowie seinen Umgang mit Sounddesign, Mixing und mobilem Producing.Sound&Recording-Magazin | Studiosofa PodcastWebsite: ⁠⁠⁠soundandrecording-magazin.de⁠⁠⁠Webinare: ⁠⁠⁠soundandrecording-magazin.de⁠⁠⁠/webinareCoachings: soundandrecording-magazin.de⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠/coachingsWhatsApp-Gruppe: ⁠⁠⁠soundandrecording-magazin.de/whatsapp⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@soundandrecording.magazin⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠@StudiosofaPodcast⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@soundandrecording.mag⁠⁠⁠

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with Terri Lyne Carrington to discuss her remarkable career, her artistic evolution, and her ambitious new album, Trip the Night Fantastic. Widely recognized as one of the most influential drummers, composers, producers, and educators working today, Terri shares how groove, storytelling, and social consciousness have become inseparable parts of her creative voice.We talk about the concept behind Trip the Night Fantastic, which Terri describes as a groove-centered project created for difficult times. Our conversation explores the relationship between dance, rhythm, and emotional connection, and how groove can often reach listeners before lyrics ever do. Terri reflects on jazz's historical relationship with dance music and why reconnecting with that tradition felt important for this project.We also dive into her journey as an artist and how life experience eventually led her to fully integrate her identity, values, and artistic work. Drawing on lessons learned from mentors such as Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock, Terri discusses leadership, collaboration, production, and the challenge of balancing a strong artistic vision with creating space for others to contribute.The conversation also explores the work of the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice, the role of representation in music education, and the importance of creating environments where new voices can shape the future of the art form. Along the way, Terri reflects on her upbringing in Boston, her experiences working alongside some of the greatest musicians in jazz history, and what gives her hope when she looks at the next generation of artists.This is a thoughtful conversation about creativity, purpose, community, and the ongoing evolution of jazz from one of its most important modern voices.Key TakeawaysTrip the Night Fantastic was conceived as a groove-oriented album designed to reconnect jazz with its dance traditions.Terri believes groove often creates an emotional connection before listeners fully engage with lyrical content.Her artistic identity became stronger when she stopped separating her life experiences from her creative work.Lessons from mentors like Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock continue to influence her approach to music and leadership.Producing music requires balancing a clear artistic vision with openness to collaborators' ideas.The Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice was created to expand opportunities and perspectives within jazz education.Terri remains optimistic about the future of jazz because of the creativity, knowledge, and commitment she sees in younger musicians.Music from the EpisodeRiddim Song - Terri Lyne CarringtonIdentity Song - Terri Lyne CarringtonAutonomy Song - Terri Lyne CarringtonSolidarity Song - Terri Lyne CarringtonAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast hosted by Brad Williams that features in-depth conversations with musicians, composers, producers, educators, and other creative artists.

Original Release Date: Monday 27 July 2026      Description:   One episode shy of their 1,000 installment of this show, Dean and Phil jokingly compare notes on the tolls reaching such a milestone have taken. Phil hints at some of his weekend 40th high school reunion adventures, Dean updates the prognosis of his beloved Doberman, Leloo, and previews his own birthday celebrations. Of course, Dean and Phil now produce several different podcasts each week through the “Chillpak Hollywood Presents …” Substack. And last week's episode of “Celebrity Deaths” resulted in the need to begin with some corrections and/or clarifications! After those, it's nothing but good news from the world of show biz, including the continued astonishing success of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, the halt (til at least next year) of the Parmount-Warners merger, and the announcement that an iconic Hollywood locale will be reopening in 2028. Finally, Phil sings the praises of the one of the all-time best debut features for any director ever, the heartbreaking and hilarious, sexually explicit, gay biker BDSM film, Pillion, and Dean reveals his early reaction to the new spin-off of “The Big Bang Theory”.

Known for bridging the worlds of gospel and R&B over a 15-year career, we honored Malloy live on air, presenting him with the We Sound Crazy Black Excellence Award. The hosts celebrated Malloy's unique ability to seamlessly dream up innovative concepts and execute them as a powerhouse independent creator—a journey he admits took immense courage, risk-taking, and survival through seasons of extreme financial and emotional lack. Malloy walkes down memory lane, reflecting on his Pittsburgh roots, where 1,500 people wrapped around the block for his 2009 debut album release party, Lift Him Up. He shared a series of exclusive, high-profile industry stories, from his early days being pushed into masterclass vocal production by gospel legend Dorinda Clark Cole, the very collaboration that earned him his first Grammy nomination, to becoming a fixture in the studio with Missy Elliott, vocal producing stars like Monica and Halle Bailey. Malloy also touched on the profound impact of timely industry mentorship, recalling a lifesaving, middle-of-the-night encouragement call from gospel legend Kirk Franklin during one of his lowest professional seasons, and a moment where Jonathan McReynolds stepped in to buy him a plane ticket to the Stellar Awards when he was down to his last hundred dollars. Central to the discussion was Malloy's highly anticipated album, Favor, which features an elite lineup of vocal powerhouses including Kim Burrell, Le'Andria Johnson, Zacardi Cortez, and Ray J. Malloy revealed that the title track was actually written 15 years ago when he was behind on rent, emphasizing that songwriters must have the courage to write to their future rather than their current struggles. Beyond the music, Malloy highlighted his thriving entrepreneurial ventures, including the Urban Worship Collective and his highly successful luxury streetwear line, Millions, Billions and Trillions. He explained that the brand represents consciousness and mental elevation over mere currency, capping off an inspiring episode that showcased the resilient spirit behind one of modern gospel and R&B's brightest visionaries.

After taking his now-usual post-InfoComm break, Joe Way returns to the Higher Ed AV Podcast with a major announcement... His second book, "Producing Leaders: 9 Principles for Developing High-Performing Teams," is on the way.In this solo episode, Joe explains why the hardest part of leading an AV organization is rarely the technology. The real work happens behind the scenes in setting the vision, designing the organization, aligning people to purpose, creating trust, navigating conflict, and building an environment where talented people can do their best work.The book grew out of more than 30 years of leadership, business ownership, organizational change, and team development. It also came from watching people Joe has mentored go on to become respected leaders in their own right. Rather than writing another general leadership book, he wanted to document the process he uses to build the foundation beneath successful teams and organizations.Joe walks through the nine principles that shape the book:All of Life Is Sales: Influence and OpportunityStrategy with Purpose: Vision and the Non-Negotiables The Organizational Puzzle: Designing for Impact Business Powers the Mission: Stewardship, Sustainability, and Results Authentic Leadership: Vulnerability and Transparency The Empowerment Cycle: Mentorship, Trust, and Freedom Productive Conflict: Leading Through Change Failing Up: Realigning Your Path Forward Positioning Value: Advocacy, Branding, and Recognition Along the way, Joe shares why leaders must remain accountable to the organizations they serve, why business sustainability is what keeps the mission alive, and how mentorship, trust, freedom, and accountability work together. He also talks about learning from failure, handling change without losing the team, and making sure good work does not remain invisible.The book will include reflection questions and workshop materials that readers can use on their own or with their teams. It is written for current leaders, aspiring managers, project leaders, and anyone preparing to guide people through growth, change, or transformation."Producing Leaders" is scheduled for release on September 12, 2026, the eighth anniversary of the first Higher Ed AV Podcast episode, with pre-orders available in the next couple weeks. Joe also closes with a teaser... Listen to learn more.

In this episode, Elif Akaydin, founder of Patent of Heart, shares how her journey from Istanbul to New York shaped a brand rooted in craftsmanship, storytelling, and purpose.

Original Release Date: Monday 20 July 2026    Description:   In a truly confusing, but nevertheless hilarious, cold open, Phil offers a correction about “Malt Air”. Thanks to emails from loyal listener and frequent contributor Maurice Terenzio, Dean and Phil have a ball talking about three great actors of Hollywood's golden age: Joe E. Brown, George Raft and Edward G. Robinson. The big show biz news of the week get discussed: the possible halt to the Paramount-Warners merger and the historic box office success for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. Two new movies get reviewed: The brilliant comedy Stop! That! Train! and the hit Netflix offering Enola Holmes 3. Of course Dean and Phil continue their ongoing film noir and neo-noir discussion, focusing on the nihilism of the 1970s as depicted in such modern classics as Arthur Penn's Night Moves and the Paul New man vehicle The Drowning Pool. Finally, colleague Marc Hershon (star of the “Chillpak Hollywood Presents …” podcast Television with Marc Hershon) drops in to help your friends in podcasting come up with ideas for how they can commemorate their upcoming 1,000 episode, and to discuss ideas for Phil's next movie, a documentary all about improv!

In this episode, Matt welcomes back Dave from Fish Eat Repeat for an in-depth conversation that every hunter who values wild game should hear. Drawing on his background as a food scientist and years of practical hunting experience, Dave explains the science behind producing high-quality wild game, tackling common myths around ageing meat, reducing gamey flavour, and why proper meat handling starts the moment the animal hits the ground. The discussion dives deep into wet ageing versus dry ageing, hanging meat on the bone, cooling techniques, vacuum sealing, freezer burn, food safety, bacterial growth and best practice for processing animals in the field. Matt and Dave compare different approaches, explain the reasoning behind their own methods, and discuss how small improvements can make a significant difference to the quality of venison, regardless of whether you're hunting fallow, sambar, rusa or other game species. Beyond meat care, the conversation also explores the realities of creating hunting content. From balancing full-time careers and family life with YouTube and podcasting, to sponsorships, authenticity, improving audio and video quality, and the misconception that content creators spend every day hunting, Matt and Dave provide an honest look behind the scenes of producing outdoor content while staying true to the hunting community. Packed with practical knowledge, genuine conversation and plenty of laughs, this episode offers valuable insights for anyone wanting to improve the quality of their wild game, better understand the science behind meat processing, or simply enjoy an authentic discussion between two passionate hunters who love learning and sharing their experiences.

The fabulous Brandy Howard and Julie Goldman and I dive into the shocking photos of Jax Taylor getting incredibly cozy in a Mexican resort pool with Lori Krebs, the longtime publicist he shared with his estranged ex-wife, Brittany Cartwright, who has officially fired her. We dissect how this messy betrayal was discovered, what it means for their co-parenting, and Julie chimes in with her unfiltered opinion on who the most hated man on The Valley really is. Plus, we discuss the toxic relationship dynamic surrounding Tom Sandoval and whether his claims of being a victim of domestic violence will completely tank his career or somehow help it. Then, we get into the financial nightmare over at the Kemsley household: PK is demanding the sole ability to sell their mansion before it hits foreclosure, but Dorit keeps putting it off. We also ask the ultimate question about the Real Housewives franchises, are these women completely self-producing and taking literal, physical falls just for camera attention? From the wild, drama-filled war between Taylor Frankie Paul and Whitney Leavitt, to a new OnlyFans moms show, to critical safety warnings about booking cruises, and a raw look at the new Netflix documentary exposing Crystal Harris's marriage to Hugh Hefner, we cover it all, before I wrap things up with my personal predictions on the Bonnie Blue train! -Download Cash App Today: ⁠https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/9l268n36 ⁠#CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Ben Lorica sits down with Evangelos Simoudis to unpack why open-weights models are closing the gap with frontier labs and pushing enterprises toward “corporate AI sovereignty.” They then apply an attenuation-funnel lens to AI coding tools — more code, but far less shipped software and usage growth — before turning to “neoconsulting,” the outcomes-based services model reshaping Accenture, Palantir, and the big Indian IT firms.Subscribe to the Gradient Flow Newsletter

Hammond and Amos walk through some of the common problems they face producing daily news podcasts, relate tales of woe, and share some advice for those wanting to create their own content.Starring Anthony Lemos, Hammond Chamberlain Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Kiera shares the three most common pieces of bad advice out there when it comes to growing a practice. She encourages doctors not to keep applying new pieces of information to growth, but to understand how to filter the best pieces for your practice — and shares three truths to making this happen. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera. And today we're gonna talk about a couple of lies feel so harsh, but I think these are maybe some misnomers, some beliefs that a lot of dentists are told about growing a practice that aren't true. Or they could be true, but they don't have to be true. So again, like I don't want to say it's lies. I just think it might be a possibly wrong way to look at things if you want. And so I want to talk about some of those like what are the   like three biggest lies, if you will, with air codes around lies. Because I think about a lot of advice is given to you about how to grow a practice, but I don't think it's all true. I think that there's ways that we can look at it differently and get different outcomes. And I don't think people are trying to mislead. ⁓ but I just I feel like it's incomplete. And so I want you guys to recognize that growing your practice and evolving your practice isn't about following more advice or doing more things. I think it's actually about filtering like what is the best way to do it. And for me,   Lazy or efficient, take your pick. I prefer the term efficient. ⁓ let's just get you the most efficient way to grow your practice that keeps you sane, that doesn't burn you out. Because again, I'm about the yes success model. It's all about you, making sure you're living your absolute best life, followed by earnings and profitability and then systems, structure, and scale for you. We've got to have those in place for you. And so I'm really, really big on growing, not for growing sake, but to grow in the way that's best for you, which is why vision and you are the most number one important thing. So when you go through this, I just   I want you to realize like we don't have to stay stuck, we don't have to say overwhelmed, and we don't have to plateau. But there's ways that we can walk through the most common lies, if you will, that are talked about with growth. And then three truths that actually will drive real sustainable growth for you. So number one that I hear a lot is like you just need more new patients. Now, this can be true. Like I said, lies are with an air quote, and you don't always have to be doing marketing spend and you don't have to constantly be attracting people. And like to me, it's constant marketing spend.   Attracting instead of retaining and full hygiene with low case acceptance. Like that can be some of the things. And what's wrong with that is a lot of offices, like when they're telling me, Kiera, we're at like 90 new patients a month. I'm like, cool, you got a backdoor open problem. Like, if we just close that back door, you probably wouldn't need as many new patients, but your ego is screaming, I need more new patients. Or I've got just all these patients coming through, and that's again, we're not retaining them. Or our hygiene schedule is full, but like our doctor schedule is wide open. Well, we don't have great case acceptance. So to me,   Gotta have like great patients coming in, retaining them, and follow through. So growth actually comes better from conversion, not volume. You do need both, which is where I don't think it's a lie. Like you do need patients. We gotta have at least 30 new patients per doctor per month in a like a GP practice. Pediatrics usually run in like 75 to 90, depending upon the the location and what we're looking for. So, like more patients aren't gonna fix leaky systems. So another   Another one, like I said, I'm gonna go through them and they'll tell you like some solutions to fix it. Work harder and produce more, like outproduce your problems, add more days, work longer hours, do more dentistry personally. But like that's burnout. I just had a doctor and she's like, Kiera, we talked about production and I just can't do it. And I was like, Yes, because you're not supposed to do it. We're supposed to have goals. We're supposed to have the whole team. Like I I was with an office and their goal is like twenty-five thousand a day.   But the dentist isn't doing all that and they're out by like four o'clock and we're just scheduling better and we're making sure all the hygienists are up to goal and each doctor's up to goal. Like profit doesn't always follow production. I don't care what your top line is, I care what your bottom line is. So you have to like there is a zone where a lot of doctors work more, but they don't actually make more or they like take home the same. And to me, that's nonsense. Like I'd rather you scale it back and have a small practice than having this high, I don't know, ginormous one and not taking home profit. So   You've got to have, we've got to have efficiency, we gotta have systems, and we gotta make sure it's not all on hue. And then like let's talk about what growth and profit are that we actually wanna hit, not just a top line number. So I I'm really big on like you don't have to work harder and produce more. There's actually a way of how like what do we really need to produce? How do we actually build a schedule? How do we use the entire schedule? How do we use our morning huddles to win rather than just produce, produce, produce? Okay.   Another myth is hire more people and we'll fix it. Like just throw money at your problems through hiring people, through doing this, like this thing will help us. Like, let's add team members. I have an office and I think they've got like 10 people in the front office. I'm like, my gosh, that's psychotic. Like, but everyone feels overwhelmed and overworked. And I'm like, yeah, because no one has clear job descriptions. No one has an end-of-day checklist. No one has like ownership of it. We just keep piling more and more people on rather than like, all right, what's broken? What's a true system? Because I typically say,   Per doctor, I want one for an office team member, except for if there's only one, then I want two. But that's usually a pretty good ratio. Office managers are like debatable if they're there or not. So if you look at that, this is where, but like we overstaff, but we don't have clarity. We got payroll, but like our payroll sky high, but we saw the same issues. Payroll should be sitting at 30%. Like that should be where we're at. Even if you're like here, it's so expensive. I'm like, I know, but we also can't overpay. We can't have so many team members. There are ways that we could like.   You can outsource. There's so many things that we can do. And that's not for me to say we can't hire people. It is for me to say, like, we got to be smart business owners too. So a lot of times people don't fix broken systems. Confusion scales with headcount. Trust me, I used to have a team of five. Now I got a team of 25. It's crazy. It's very thrilling. So, like, you can add more and more people, but if we don't have systems and processes and like,   clear job descriptions, you're just gonna create more chaos and you think you're gonna fix it, but you just add more, then you're stressed because your cash flow is less. It doesn't fix. You got have structure before you have growth. So people don't fix systems, systems support people. So a couple of now like truths. Okay. So we had like lies. All right. Number one, like I said, you just need more new patients. Number two is work harder and produce more. And number three was hire more people. It'll fix it. Now like I said, hiring people might fix it. Producing more could fix it.   having more patients could fix it. But things that are really going to help are like set systems. Like I was in a practice and I'm like, okay, we just need to get a set schedule. Like I said, they're like, I'm exhausted. I was like, perfect. What is each provider's daily goal? What's their hourly goal? What's our hygiene goal? We need to make sure those are in place. So that way it's not just reliant on one doctor. Now we got to look at our case acceptance. Let's look at our patient flow and let's look at billing. Like to me, a lot of these things like if I just fix case acceptance, I don't actually need a ton more patients. If I just fix case acceptance, it's like why don't we actually   clothes the patients that are in our chair. Can we do same-day dentistry for them? Can we get referrals from them? So I'm having quality patients come through. We're diagnosing and we're accepting. Like, what if I just have those? Like those things in place will actually grow your practice. Having 30 new patients a month per doctor is going to grow your practice. Having reviews that tie to that, making sure our collections are at 98%. So many offices actually are profitable, but they're not collecting the money. So they feel broke.   But I'm like, that's actually a system that's going to grow you. So like let's just go after a few systems that are gonna truly grab scheduling, block scheduling. What are the provider goals? Let's hit that. Let's talk about that at Morning Huddle every single day. Let's look at our case acceptance. Our case acceptance, if you're at GP, like we're not doing huge cases, you should be at like a 70% acceptance. If we are at all on X, I'm usually at like 35 to 40. What's our case acceptance? What are we closing? Are we doing single dentistry? Like what are we diagnosing? Are we diagnosing three tens of what we're trying to produce? If not, I need to go fix my case acceptance.   That is my system to fix. That's going to actually grow my practice. That's gonna put money on my books. Billing, just collect the dang money. Like fix that. That's actually gonna grow your practice. That's gonna grow your profit. That's what's actually gonna grow you. Now, another thing that's actually gonna grow you is having strong, strong, strong profit. You've got to have profit. Like that's gonna grow you. I don't care what your top line is, you gotta know your profit.   So, what how do we figure that out? We're gonna look at our BAM. We're gonna figure out exactly what our practice needs to make, including paying you. And then we're gonna make sure that we have enough patients, we have enough case acceptance, we have enough providers, we can block schedule this to actually produce it. Then we gotta make sure we're collecting it. Because if not, we're not going to get it. You have to be profitable. We gotta look at efficiency. How many team members do we actually need to have? What are their job descriptions? Have clear job descriptions, a KPI per person of a number that's gonna drive the business forward. That's going to fix our practice.   You don't need more people. You don't need more production. You don't need more overhead. We need to make sure our overhead is correct, that we're adequately staffed, that we have the correct amount of production and procedure mixes. Some people just don't do enough dentistry. Like you don't diagnose enough. I need you not to diagnose a single crown filling. I need it to be a crown if it's really a crown. If we can't do this, like we might not need as many team members. Can we outsource and use a biller that's not an in-house? I don't know, but there's ways to get creative. You've got to look at it.   For me, it's non-negotiable. Your overhead needs to be at 50% or less. Doctor pay needs to be at 30%. Our profit margin needs to be at 20%. You've got to go look at it. We either need to cut costs, increase production, or increase collections. One of those three things is gonna make you there. You've got to get profitable. It's not like that's really going to grow you. And sometimes growth comes from contracting. Businesses are like breathing. It's gonna expand and it's gonna contract. Sometimes we're gonna be a bigger team.   Sometimes we're gonna be a smaller team. I've done this myself. I've grown too much and I've had to cut. And then we grow again and then we have to cut. It's not because I'm trying to be irresponsible. It's because I genuinely need to like the business didn't grow as much as we thought it would. We now have to contract. You have to be able to make those decisions. Now I hope that you are not like grow, contract, go contract. Like let's not be like adding and cutting team members on a consistent basis all the time. Like more stability. But really look, what are the job descriptions? What is the KPI? If I hire this other person.   How much more revenue are they going to put in? What are they going to do? I get it. We want to help our team. But I was in a team the other day and they had an outsource builder and this builder was asking for more hours. And they were like, no, this is what you agree to. This is how many hours we want. Let's see if we can actually like what needs to get done. They're under staff. They have a front office team member that's out on maternity leave. But for that team to recognize like more hours doesn't fix our problems. Like we need to be more efficient. How can we be more efficient? A lot of team members, when I go into offices, are not being fully utilized.   So before you go and say, like, we need more team, maybe we should look at their job descriptions, maybe look at our org chart. Let's look at what people are doing and what they should be doing and what they're capable of doing. And then let's see how we can like simplify things. What things can we like delegate out? What things can we hire out? What does that look like? Because if we can get those things put into place, do you realize how much happier every single person is? These are the things that actually grow a practice. Looking at your numbers, knowing your profit margins, having the systems in place that actually put money on your books, hygiene.   Let's talk about hygiene. Making your hygienists are doing three times their pay. That's going to grow your business. It's not like just pump new patients in. It's not pump production on the books. It's not these things like work harder. It's not that. It's genuinely right, people. Let's look at our numbers. Let's see. Now it's like okay, if I know the payroll should be at thirty percent, I now have the dollars allotted for that amount. How I spend those dollars is your decision. It's your discretion. I don't really care.   But you know the metric. So if you know the metric, you know most offices are able to accommodate this. You've got to figure out how for you you can accommodate this. Do I need to increase my production? Then can I look at my block schedule? Can I look at different ways? Can I look at my case acceptance? Can I look at my diagnosis? Do we have better handoffs amongst all of us? What little things are gonna be able to grow you and your practice? That's going to be like those things actually put money on your books. Those things actually move you forward. Like I said, they're not necessarily lies because you do need patience, you do need production, and you do need people.   But making sure that we're not pumping money into those areas or we're forcing those things to grow our business. There's a lot of ways that we'll actually grow your business with a lot of less effort. So look at your practice. And I want you just to say, like, okay, what is my payroll? What is my overhead? What is what is my bam, the barriers minimum of my business? What do I need to produce and collect in my practice? Let's start there. And if I'm like   Someone told me the other day that their payroll was 40%. I was like, okay, great. We have two choices. We can either produce more and collect more, or we can find where we're inefficient and what things we need to change. I don't care. You know the metric, you know it. And then you have a choice. You can either do it or not. But this is what's going to grow your practices and grow your bottom line. And these are not as being cutthroat. These are industry standards across the board. If your hygiene team's not producing three times the pain, you're like, but I'm in California. I know I hear you. Practices are able to do it.   It's just like the four-minute mile. If someone else is able to do it, let's get creative and see how you can do it. I would recommend cutting the excuses and starting to look for truth, starting to look for how, what are the solutions. Kiera Dent is well known for a famous line of there's always a solution, let's find it. So I want you to really truly, what is the solution? What's really going to grow your practice? And if you're stuck, if you don't know, I'd love to cut through the noise for you. I feel like I play Mario. Like I see all the little, like, I don't know, glitterally.   Like, here's your gold star. Here's this thing. It's above your head. Like, my gosh, if they just increase their case acceptance and they fix their blocks and they knew their number, all the practice will grow. In my own business, I struggle with that. In your own business, it's hard to see it. So sometimes you need somebody who's got a bird's eye view, someone who's sitting above the noise, someone who's able to cut through that, someone who's able to say, these are the three systems we're going to put in place first. This is going to grow you exponentially. Let's get the business fundamentals for you. Let's actually grow your business for what you want, not just   So like playing like whack-a-mole and trying all these things that don't actually move you forward. So hopefully that was able to give you three lies and three truths, things that will actually move you forward. And like I said, they're not lies. They're just things that I feel a lot of people put effort and energy in trying to solve their problem rather than doing the work. It's like I want a six pack, but until I get on that freaking floor, I can do a lot of things. There's even things to help me lose weight now. But until I want that six pack, I gotta do the work to get there. So for you.   We gotta do the work that's actually gonna grow your practice, not just like create noise and make it feel like we're moving. ⁓ I love this quote. I don't remember who said it, but they said, Don't confuse progress with motion. A rocking horse has motion, but there's no progress. And I love thinking about that because when we think about it, that can be that can be something I think we feel. Like you are having   motion but it you're not progressing. And like they say, I think it says Alfred A Montagu. I think sorry if I said that wrong. I'm really sorry, but it says don't do not confuse motion and progress. A rocking horse keeps moving but does not make any progress. So for you, are the things that you're doing actually making progress or do they just feel like motion? Because we've got to make sure we're making progress. We're actually growing. We're not just doing motion. So reach out. I'd love to help you.

With Betty posing as a defecting American actress in a German motion picture, Cliff Secord, a.k.a. the Rocketeer, accompanies as her brother and manager.

If you went solo as a writer or marketer, you already made your declaration of independence. You left a paycheck, or a boss, or both. You did the brave thing. Lately, though, you might be wondering whether that independence still holds up. The work feels less predictable. AI keeps changing what clients will pay for. And a familiar thought creeps in: maybe I should go find something more stable. In this episode, I want to talk you out of that trap. I start with a story you think you know, the morning the founders of the U.S. actually signed the Declaration of Independence, which was a lot more nervous and human than the painting suggests. Then I get personal about my own decision to go solo 20 years ago. From there, I draw a line between two kinds of independence. The fragile kind that looks like freedom but feels like risky exposure. And the resilient kind that holds up even when a client walks away. Here's the good news. For most of my 20 years, a one-person business had a hard ceiling. You stayed small and exposed, or you grew and got tangled up in payroll and management. The dynamics have changed. There's a third path now, and it changes what's possible for a solo writer. What You'll Learn • Why the morning the Declaration was signed was nothing like the painting, and what that has to do with you • The difference between fragile independence and resilient independence, and how to tell which one you've got • Why the "stable" path (the in-house job, the steady retainer) may be just as shaky right now • The two traps that keep solo businesses fragile: the single anchor client and the one-person ceiling • What changed recently that lets a solo writer take on more without hiring anyone • Why producing more, faster, and cheaper actually makes you easier to replace • The part of your work that stays valuable no matter how good AI gets • Two honest questions to find where your own independence is still exposed Key Ideas & Takeaways 1. The People Who Chose Independence Did It Scared. The signing wasn't the calm, triumphant scene in the painting. Benjamin Rush described a "pensive and awful silence," and men who believed they might hang for what they were doing. They didn't wait for certainty. They committed first, and everything good came after. 2. Feeling Shaky Doesn't Mean You Chose Wrong. When your path feels uncertain, it's tempting to believe a steadier one is waiting somewhere else. But "stable" jobs are being reorganized and automated too. A storm feels the same from inside any boat. Yours is the one you can actually steer. 3. Declaring Independence Is the Easy Part. Going solo is a single moment. Keeping that independence alive is the work that comes after, and it doesn't stop. You re-earn it through the decisions you make for years. 4. The Dynamics Have Changed. For most of the last two decades, a solo writer could only do what one person could physically produce. Growing meant hiring, payroll, and overhead. When used properly, AI now handles a lot of the research, first drafts, and grunt work, so that load can sit inside a one-person business. 5. More Capacity Buys Resilience. This is about resilience. The aim is to serve a wider range of clients, so no single account owns your future, and to turn down bad-fit projects without panic. A resilient business bends when a client leaves. It doesn't break. 6. Producing More Can Make You Easier to Replace. If all you do is produce faster and cheaper, you become a more efficient commodity, and commodities compete on price until there's nothing left. What protects you is the judgment AI can't reproduce. 7. The Gap Between Producing and Producing the Right Thing. Most clients can now generate a competent draft in minutes. What they can't do is decide whether it's the right one or see what it gets wrong for their audience. That judgment, taste, and discernment is what they'll keep paying a real person for. Action Steps Add up what each client paid you over the last year and find the percentage your biggest one represents. If it's over 40 to 50 percent, that's your project for the quarter. Name your single biggest point of fragility this week: one client who's too large a share of your income, or a ceiling set by your own two hands. Pick one production task you still do by hand (deep research, first drafts, cleanup) and hand it to AI this week, so you can spend that time on higher-judgment work. Make a short list of the skills you've undervalued (asking sharp questions, synthesizing, reading the real need) and start treating them as your core offer. Think about the two questions from the close: where is your independence still fragile, and what could you hand off now to free up your judgment?
