Great marketing isn't just strategy, it's intuition, timing, and a deep understanding of human behavior. That's the beauty of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, a movie about erasing your memories. In this episode, we're breaking down its lessons with the help of special guest Noha Rizk, Chief Marketing Officer at Incorta. Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from putting human emotion at the center of their work, trusting intuition alongside data, and embracing mistakes as the path to growth.About our guest, Noha RizkNoha Rizk is the Chief Marketing Officer at Incorta.

Great marketing isn't about features, it's about people. Even in B2B, you're dealing with human psyches, behaviors, and emotions—not faceless corporations. Noha explains, “Even as B2B marketers… you're dealing with individuals. You're dealing with the human psyche, you're dealing with the buying behavior… ultimately that is the objective. The objective is to maintain a relationship with your customers.” The lesson? Build messaging that connects on a human level first, because behind every buying decision is a person making sense of their own emotions.Balance data with intuition. Metrics matter, but numbers can't capture everything. Noha argues that some of the best insights come from being present, listening, and noticing what the data can't show. “Some things can't be measured…A big chunk of marketing has to be intuitive. It's not always purely scientific.” Just as the film's dreamlike narrative reminds us memory isn't linear or logical, B2B marketers need to leave room for creativity, serendipity, and gut instinct, because not everything that counts can be counted.Embrace mistakes as part of growth. Trying to erase failures is as dangerous in marketing as it is in memory. Noha points out, “You can't just erase away the pain… you won't learn if you don't make mistakes. A lot of marketers have to be super buttoned up, their campaigns have to work… there isn't a lot of opportunity for marketers these days to be allowed to make mistakes.” But the best brands learn from experiments that don't go as planned. Failure isn't wasted, it's the raw material for innovation, resilience, and better campaigns down the road.Quote“ As marketers…we explore the human psyche pretty much day in, day out, even if it's not explicitly said. But that's essentially what we do.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Noha Rizk, Chief Marketing Officer at Incorta[1:26] Why Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?[5:51] Role of CMO at Incorta[9:07] Breaking Down Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind[22:11] B2B Marketing Takeaways from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind[43:56] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Noha on LinkedInLearn more about IncortaAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Happy anniversary, Top Floor!  Calvin Tilokee is the founder and creative director of RevPAR Media, blending 20+ years of revenue management and marketing with a sharp creative streak. Known for illuminating hospitality brands and roasting industry quirks with his beloved hotel-meme persona, @revparblems, Calvin bridges data, strategy, and humor. On this anniversary episode, he flips the script as guest host, guiding a lively tour through pandemic pivots, podcast production, and personal pet peeves. What You'll Learn About: • Where Susan found the nerve to launch a business without a cash cushion or safety net. • Calvin's own origin story: furlough → pandemic pivot → RevPAR Media, full steam ahead. • The birth of Top Floor: from “Going Up” to the brand you know (and why the original name got nixed). • Why the show expanded beyond marketing, and why that makes it more fun (and nosier). • Production secrets: heavy prep, tight edits, and Susan's biggest guest pet peeves. • The fan favorites everyone mentions: the sister episodes (aka laugh tracks with plot). • What's next: more episodes, collabs, maybe a digital magazine, and some video—selectively. • Dream guests: Cindy Gallop and Sara Blakely (manifesting!). • Big swings Susan wants to try: investigative series + hospitality history deep dives. • Legacy goal: helping pros discover dream roles they didn't know existed. • Three Loading Dock stories for the price of one… but you'll have to listen for that. Our Top Three Takeaways: 1. Entrepreneurship isn't about perfect timing or eliminating all risk. Susan launched Hive Marketing in 2009 without savings or a safety net, betting that the chaos of the financial crisis made “failure” reputationally safe, and she's never looked back. 2. Top Floor's edge is curiosity + craft. The show evolved from a marketing niche to a “curiosity cabinet” for the entire hospitality industry, staying audio-first with tight editing and meticulous preparation, and measuring success by growing influence and genuine relationships.  3. The next chapter is expansion and experimentation. Susan's eyeing more episodes, collaborations, a digital Top Floor magazine, selective video/live moments, and investigative or history-of-hospitality series, aiming to surface hidden career paths and inspire listeners while the industry modernizes to match guest behavior.

Sumit Arora, VP of Advanced Technology at Ascend Learning, joins the show to unpack the real challenges of turning AI prototypes into production-ready systems. From managing non-deterministic outputs to rethinking the relationship between engineering and product, Sumit shares hard-earned lessons on what it actually takes to build AI that works at scale. If you're navigating how to move beyond experiments and deliver AI products that stick, this episode will give you a clear look at the path forward.Key Takeaways• Scaling AI is not about building smarter prototypes—it's about mastering distributed systems, security, and availability.• The best AI teams combine deep systems engineering with practical product sense.• Traditional software requirements processes won't work for AI. Co-creation between product and engineering is essential.• Innovation pods—small, cross-functional teams—can accelerate experimentation without killing momentum.• Success at scale comes from modular, reusable AI systems that can plug into multiple contexts.Timestamped Highlights02:14 — Why building a working AI demo is easy, but scaling it into a reliable product is hard04:49 — Lessons from the big data revolution and how AI is moving even faster08:41 — The skill sets AI teams really need and why distributed systems expertise trumps pure ML13:13 — Designing user experiences for AI and why response times redefine UX expectations17:00 — The evolving relationship between product and engineering in the AI era23:10 — How innovation pods help organizations experiment without stalling production teams26:47 — Why modular, self-contained AI systems are the key to scaling across an enterpriseA Line That Stuck“You can't requirement doc your way to AI success.

American manufacturing of aircraft during WWII dwarfed that of its enemies. By the end of the war, an American assembly line was producing a B-24 bomber in less than an hour. But that success was far from inevitable. Structural engineer and writer Brian Potter speaks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about the logistical challenges of ramping up production from virtually nothing, and the incredible balance of precision and improvisation required to respond to constantly changing aircraft designs. They also discuss the limits of industrial mobilization, why early preparation proved so critical, the role of women in the production process, and what lessons this experience can offer today's debates about supply chains and defense readiness.

On this week's episode of Ritter on Real Estate, Kent Ritter interviews Lon Welsh. They unpack Lon's “four pillars of diversification” framework—asset class, geography, strategy, and sponsor—digging into why he favors multifamily for stability, mid-size industrial for supply–demand gaps, and budget extended-stay hospitality for resilient demand. Lon explains blending value-add (for depreciation and cash flow) with ground-up development, and why property management selection is the single biggest driver of outcomes. The conversation also covers geographic risk (policy shifts, disasters) and why a Midwest/Sunbelt mix can smooth the ride for passive investors. Where to find Lon:IrontonCapital.comIrontonCapital.com/linkedinIrontonCapital.com/facebookIrontonCapital.com/youtube Key TakeawaysThe four pillars of diversification: asset class, geography, strategy, and sponsor—diversify across all four to reduce correlation risk. Asset picks he likes now: multifamily for low volatility, mid-size multi-tenant industrial for scarcity, and budget extended-stay hotels for durable, non-discretionary demand. Geography matters twice: politics (landlord–tenant laws) and physical risk (storms, fires) argue for spreading exposure across markets. Strategy blend: prioritize value-add for immediate depreciation/pass-through tax benefits, pair with targeted development where shovel-ready and contingency-smart. Sponsor & PM are critical: assess track record by product type/market, insist on contingency by line item, and scrutinize the property manager's detection/solution chops. Books MentionedFree book on passive real estate investing (Ironton Capital): https://irontoncapital.com/ritterWall Street Journal: https://www.wsj.comCheck us out on socials: Instagram LinkedIn Youtube https://hudsoninvesting.com/ Production by Outlier Audio

Production #636 | Song #5 | Guest: Chris JerichoWinnipeg to WorldwideThis week's countdown takes us into the sacred territory of the Top 5, and who better to usher us in than Winnipeg's own Chris Jericho? Yes — that Chris Jericho: wrestler, rock frontman, podcaster, and lifelong music obsessive.Jericho drops by to share a Hipstory that winds through Winnipeg clubs, Red River Community College, college-gig security shifts, and even a chance backstage beer offer from a young Gord Downie. He recalls the moment someone predicted, “These guys are going to be Canada's Rolling Stones,” and how right that turned out to be. From there, the stories spill — touring abroad, rediscovering the band after Gord's illness, and parsing just what makes The Hip feel so distinctly Canadian no matter where you're standing in the world .From Prairie Bars to Packed ArenasTogether, we dig into how a song can hit like a cannonball — and how riff, lyric, and swagger combined to propel the band from campus bars to multi-night arena stands. Jericho marvels at the way Gord slipped surreal imagery into a rocker, at the joy of lyrics that morph each chorus, and at the Hip's rare ability to stay intact as a five-piece gang from the first EP to the final tour .There's wrestling talk, there's band-life talk, there's even pool-hall humidity trivia. And threaded through it all is the sense that The Hip weren't just a band — they were, and are, a measure of what Canadian rock could mean when it refused to be anything but itself.Next WeekWe're down to #4. Think myths. Think shadows. Think of a song that reshaped the way we listen to The Hip forever.“I met Gord in '89 before they broke big. He was tall, skinny, and had this presence — even then. They offered me a beer, and I said I was working. Just regular guys. And then? Boom. A year later they're everywhere.”— Chris Jericho About Our GuestChris Jericho is a Winnipeg native, wrestling legend, and frontman of Fozzy. He's also a music lifer whose fandom runs from Iron Maiden to The Hip, with stories that stretch from Prairie bars to sold-out New York clubs. He's been called many things in his career — champion, showman, podcaster — but here, he's simply a Canadian kid telling the truth about a band that mattered.Get InvolvedThis countdown is by the fans, for the fans:

Interview with Nick Appleyard, President & CEO of TriStar Gold Inc.Our previous interview:Recording date: 11th September 2025TriStar Gold Corporation represents a compelling high-risk, high-reward investment opportunity centered on the exceptional economics of its Castelo de Sonhos gold project in Brazil's Pará state. The project's fundamentals are outstanding, containing 1.4 million ounces of probable gold reserves that generate a post-tax net present value of $1.4 billion at conservative $3,200 per ounce gold assumptions. This creates a remarkable valuation disconnect with TriStar's current market capitalization of approximately $55 million.The investment thesis is built on the project's technical simplicity and robust economics. CEO Nick Appleyard characterizes the operation as "sand and gold. Nothing else. Simplest processing you're ever going to see." This straightforward metallurgy reduces both technical risk and capital requirements while supporting strong margins throughout the mine life. Production profiles indicate significant scale, with the first seven years averaging 150,000 ounces annually before stabilizing at 120,000 ounces, positioning Castelo de Sonhos as a meaningful mid-tier gold operation.Location advantages further enhance the project's attractiveness. Proximity to existing road infrastructure reduces capital requirements typically associated with remote site development, while the technical simplicity of processing sand-hosted gold mineralization supports both economic viability and development timeline efficiency.The current investment opportunity stems from regulatory challenges that have created substantial valuation dislocation. TriStar faces permit suspension recommendations from Brazilian prosecutors based on allegedly insufficient indigenous consultation. However, the factual basis for these concerns appears questionable, with referenced indigenous groups located over 100 kilometers from the project site and no demonstrated environmental or cultural impact from exploration activities.Importantly, TriStar maintains strong local support where it matters most. Communities within reasonable proximity to the project support the company's activities, benefiting from employment opportunities and development programs. State regulatory agencies have provided robust defense of TriStar's permit applications, with the state environmental agency emphasizing that the company has followed all proper procedures and operates far from any potential impact areas.The legal process follows a defined timeline with defense filings expected by mid-October 2025, followed by judicial review through early 2026. Management estimates that approximately $1.5 million in legal and consultation expenses could provide project clarity and unlock construction licensing, representing modest capital deployment relative to potential value creation.Risk mitigation factors support the investment thesis despite regulatory uncertainty. TriStar maintains sufficient capital to navigate the legal process without forced fundraising at disadvantageous terms, while the company's single-asset focus allows management to concentrate entirely on resolution. The involvement of FUNAI, Brazil's federal indigenous affairs agency, provides procedural safeguards through evidence-based assessment standards rather than subjective claims.Historical precedent supports optimism for resolution. Similar regulatory challenges in Pará state have generally been resolved with projects advancing to production, suggesting these hurdles follow predictable patterns with established resolution mechanisms. Brazilian mining attorneys view such challenges as part of the operating environment rather than terminal project risks.For investors comfortable with Brazilian regulatory complexity and willing to accept defined timeline risk, TriStar Gold offers exceptional return potential through what management estimates could be a $100 million market value recovery upon regulatory clarity.Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.comSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this episode, Masie and Stuart take a boat to the fantasy lands of Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea book series for Studio Ghibli's 2006 adaptation titled Tales from Earthsea. Along with the director Goro Miyazaki, this film has quite a negative reputation among Ghibli's otherwise illustrious catalogue of animated productions. But does it deserve said reputation? Well, our hosts on their travels unfortunately find a film with a strong lack of visual identity and craft with a script that is... confusing to say the least. Tune into our hosts journey through turbulent waters as they discuss its strange adaptation decisions as well as how the film points to Ghibli's weaknesses as a studio.   Linktree: https://linktr.ee/cinema_bones Follow Us on Social Media @ Cinema_Bones on Instagram and Letterboxd for podcast updates.   Additional Reading/Sources: Interview with Toshio Suzuki about the Production of Tales from Earthsea Archive of Ursula K.

Creative work has always had its ups and downs, but lately the dips feel longer and the competition sharper. Budgets that once seemed safe are now under constant pressure, and clients expect more for less—often faster than before. Technology keeps shifting the rules, blurring the lines between what used to be specialized skills. For agencies and production companies, it's not just about making great work anymore—it's about proving you're still essential in a market that's always moving the goalposts. https://youtu.be/UhfyKQnkoxs?si=Z_zoEQs5FUGq1Prc Ross MacRae, founder of BikiniList and AgencySource, has spent over three decades helping creative teams grow and adapt. Today, he addresses how agencies can weather industry slowdowns by focusing on consistent networking and relationship building. He stresses the need to stay visible, even when work is scarce, and to nurture client trust over time. His advice centered on steady outreach, strategic positioning, and resilience in shifting markets. Stay tuned! Quotes: “If change is a constant part of what we do, then we need to accept that when things change outside our control, we can use the opportunities that presents—because change isn't all bad.” “You've got to give yourself a default diary—a timetable that allows you time in your week, every week, to do networking and pipeline. You must, even if you're frantic and busy.” “We've always listened to what our prospective and existing customers say to us to try and find out how we can help them in this new way of doing business.” Resources: The New Business platform for Agencies, Production & Reps | Agency Source Connect with Ross MacRae on LinkedIn

Interview with Hugh Agro, CEO & John Meyer, VP of Engineering, Revival GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/revival-gold-tsxvrvg-secures-c29m-strategic-financing-for-us-gold-projects-7558Recording date: 10th September 2025Revival Gold Inc. has emerged as a compelling gold development story through strategic asset assembly and institutional validation, positioning itself with one of the largest portfolios of development projects in the western United States. Led by CEO Hugh Agro and VP of Engineering John Meyer, the company controls 6 million ounces of resources across two primary assets: the flagship Mercur project in Utah and the larger Beartrack-Arnett project in Idaho.The company's strategic foundation centers on brownfield acquisitions in tier-one jurisdictions with existing infrastructure and proven past production. "What we did know as mining engineers and developers and operators of gold projects is that there's really a scarcity of these good projects in good locations," Agro explains. This 7-8 year asset assembly period coincided with depressed junior mining valuations, creating competitive advantages that would be impossible to replicate in today's market.Revival Gold has secured sophisticated institutional backing from EMR Capital and Dundee Corporation, raising $30 million in cash while gaining validation from experienced mine builders. "These are minefinders and builders before they became financiers," Agro notes, emphasizing the extensive due diligence process that validated the company's assets and strategy.The Mercur project represents the near-term value catalyst, positioned on private land in Utah with streamlined state permitting and existing infrastructure. Management targets construction start within 2.5 years, utilizing simple crush heap leach processing that reduces capital requirements and technical complexity. Both projects benefit from this approach, avoiding the complications of conventional milling operations.Current drilling campaigns focus on resource expansion and metallurgical de-risking, with three rigs operating at Mercur. The company maintains significant exploration upside through Mercur's unexplored western anticline and Beartrack-Arnett's underground potential beneath planned open pit operations.Trading at 0.2 times net asset value despite $500 million in engineered NAV, Revival Gold offers institutional-backed exposure to domestic gold production growth in an increasingly supply-constrained market. The combination of near-term production timeline, proven assets, and sophisticated backing creates what management describes as "a rare rare find in the space."Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/revival-gold-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Andrew Cox, President & CEO of Rio2 Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/from-mega-mines-to-lean-machines-rio2-ltd-vista-golds-blueprint-for-fast-track-gold-production-7298Recording date: 10th September 2025Rio2 Limited presents a compelling investment opportunity as one of the few genuine new gold producers emerging in a market increasingly characterized by consolidation rather than organic growth. The company's Fenix Gold project in Chile is approaching first production in January 2026, positioned to capitalize on record-high gold prices exceeding $3,600 per ounce—more than double the $1,800 assumptions used in the original feasibility study.The project demonstrates exceptional execution discipline under CEO Andrew Cox's leadership, maintaining its production timeline while operating slightly under budget. Construction has progressed systematically with completed earthworks across 12 hectares of leach pads and process solution ponds, while mineral movement to the pad has already commenced. The company's $50 million funding arrangement with Wheaton Precious Metals eliminates typical development-stage financing uncertainties, providing clear visibility to cash flow generation.The management team's 11-year partnership and proven track record of building two previous operations with the same contractor relationships significantly reduces execution risk. This experience is evident in their methodical construction sequencing, targeting solution circulation by November and gold room completion by late December 2025.Fenix Gold targets 20,000 tons per day processing capacity, achievable by August-September 2026 through heap leach technology. The 90-day leach cycle provides relatively rapid cash flow generation, with approximately 50% of gold recovery occurring within the first 30-40 days of production. This operational profile, combined with current gold pricing, creates substantial cash generation potential from the project's 5 million ounce resource base.The most significant value driver lies in the project's expansion potential. Rio2 is advancing partnerships with two desalination providers in Copiapó to secure water supply for expanded operations. The proposed 160-kilometer pipeline infrastructure, requiring approximately $350 million in capital, would enable production of 300,000 ounces annually for 10 years—creating an estimated $3 billion in additional value.This expansion case transforms Rio2 from a mid-tier producer into a significant gold operation, supported by substantial inferred resources requiring conversion and exploration upside in boundary areas and depth extensions.Rio2's emergence occurs during unprecedented industry consolidation, where major producers like Newmont, Barrick, and Kinross pursue growth through acquisitions rather than organic development. This environment creates strategic optionality for Rio2, whether through independent expansion or potential acquisition by larger producers seeking established operations with growth potential.The company's single-asset concentration, while presenting risk, also provides focused execution and clear value catalysts. Management actively evaluates acquisition opportunities to diversify the asset base while maintaining commitment to the Fenix expansion.Rio2 offers investors a unique combination of near-term production certainty and transformational expansion potential. The company's disciplined execution, experienced management, and strategic timing during favorable gold market conditions create multiple pathways for value creation. With production approaching and expansion studies advancing, Rio2 represents both income generation and significant growth optionality in a proven geological setting during an optimal market environment for gold producers.View Rio2 company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/rio2-limitedSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

I've been a dental assistant, treatment coordinator, scheduler, pillar, office manager, regional manager, practice owner, and I have a team of traveling consultants where we have traveled to over 165 different offices coaching teams. Yep, we don't just understand you, we are you.   Our mission is to positively impact the world of dental. And I believe that this podcast is the greatest way I can help elevate teams, grow VIP experiences, reduce stress, and create A-Teams. Welcome to the Dental A Team Podcast.   Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera. And you guys, how's your day today? You guys loving it? Are you crushing it? I hope you are, wherever you are. I am actually sitting in my bedroom. I ⁓ rarely ever podcast here, because usually my husband's home. But tonight, I have some friends over there in the front room, and I definitely needed to get some podcasts done. Sissy was asking me, I just love having team members that are great at what they do. And I hope you guys take time to acknowledge the team members that make you great. The team members that are   just awesome at what they do. guys, Sissy keeps me so on the ball and I love her for it. Shelby does, Tiffany does, Brittany, Dana, Kylie, they are just an incredible bunch of people. And guys, if you ever get the opportunity to meet any of them, you are one lucky person. So I hope you're having a great day. I hope you're loving it. So podcasting today from the bedroom. I hope the audio is great. I hope you're loving it. Sun's just going down and today I just wanted to dive into a topic that I think is really awesome and it's KPIs.   So what the heck is a KPI? A KPI is Key Performance Indicator. I'll be completely honest. You guys, know I'm like authentic Kiera Dent. People when they call me and they chat with us, like interested in working with us, the number one thing I get told is, Kiera, you sound just like you do on the podcast. And I'm like, this is really great because it is me.   I don't shake it up, I don't change it. The only thing I do differently is I talk in a microphone so my voice sounds a little bit like smoother, if you will, on the podcast than in real life. But beyond that, same cadence, same tones. This is Kiera real life. So you guys know I am always, I try really hard to just be authentic Kiera. So if you ever come meet me in person, you peel back the Wizard of Oz current, I would be the exact same person as I am on the podcast as I am in real life. So when I first started as an office manager,   I did not know what a KPI was. I did not know why they were important. I didn't know that I should be tracking these things. I literally had no idea. So guys, if you're in my boat, hey, welcome, welcome to the CureDent No KPI Boat. If you know what they are, welcome, welcome to the Elite Boat. And if you are using them, welcome to the Rockstar Amazing Boat. Let's make you even better. So KPIs, I call them, the way I describe a KPI is they are the vitals of your practice.   So just like when you go to the doctor and they take your blood pressure, your temperature, they listen to your heart rate, all those things, those are the vitals. They take your weight. ⁓ I just went to the doctor the other day and it's super cool, like, right? You sit on the chair and they say they'll take your weight. And it was funny, the gal asked me, she said, do you wanna know your weight today? I was like, wow, thank you. Like, thank you for not making me have a bad day if I don't want to or thank you for giving me the opportunity. It just made me giggle.   But bottom line is the vitals, we go to the doctor and they take those vitals first because if any of those are out of alignment, that's the first sign that we have trouble. So that's what I think of with KPIs in a practice. These are the core pieces that are going to show you, is your practice healthy or is it not healthy? So yes, it's tracking and there's lots of different KPIs you can track. That's why it's called a key performance indicator. I am a firm believer that you should be able to change these up.   I think there are certain things that you should be tracking consistently. But I also think as human beings, we get stagnant and bored. So give yourself a decent amount of time to track and then shake it up. That way you're growing constantly and we don't get bored with KPIs. So for me, some of my favorite KPIs, this is a question every consultant who comes to Dental A team to work with us, we ask them, what is your favorite KPI to measure? One, I'm checking to see if they know what a KPI is. Guys, I probably would have flunked the consulting test if I would have come on.   We're a more elite company, guys. I have to keep these consultants on their top notch. They can't be lower than us now. So I ask what your favorite KPI is to track and why. Most of the time I get production and collection. Production is a great KPI to track. It's something, and again, be careful on production. Make sure you're tracking it on net, not gross. A lot of people wanna tell me that they have.   These huge successful practices, but guess what guys, if you can't collect it, don't even tell me that number. I don't care. It does not impress me because guess what? That high gross number feeds your ego. Your net number feeds your family. So I don't care about it. So report that number in net. Next up is your collection percentage. I want to know how you're collecting. So if you're a $1 million practice and you're only collecting 700,000, that's stressful. That means you're at a 70 % collection rate. I am aiming for a 98 % collection rate. Now,   There are lots of other KPIs and I will say there are some great softwares out there. Practice by numbers, dental intel, divergent. Those are my top three favorites. I'd probably put them in the order of dental intel, divergent, practice by numbers. I think all three of them are great. I love them all for different reasons. The reason I'm pro-ing for dental intel is because they just merged with Medento and guess what? They are kicking it. So I love that. I love what they do and I love Medento as a company. So any company with Medento, that's going to be my favorite company right now. But bottom line is a lot of these track KPIs.   What I found that gets tricky and what a lot of offices do is we often track too many things that we don't actually move the needle on anything. I'm guilty of this. So in our company, was having Cissy track how many Instagram followers we were getting every single week. At first, I thought it was a great marketing metric. I thought it was great to see how our marketing was doing. Guess what? It was actually just feeding my ego. So guys, if you want to feed my ego, please just go follow us on Instagram. I would love it. Get your friends, get your family, get your siblings, get your kids. I don't care who.   You can boost that number just to feed my ego. At the end of the day, do the Instagram followers actually matter? No, they don't. They don't move our company forward. What matters, just like you guys, how many new patients we're getting. So don't actually care about social media followers. Yes, it's a fun number to track, but what I care is how many new patients are we getting? Then after that, I actually care about if I'm going to the elite boat or to our rock star boat on how many new patients you're getting. Do you know how much each patient's value is?   Do you also know what our average diagnosis is on each patient? And do we know what our acceptance rate is on each patient? If you don't know that and you're already tracking some of these numbers, that might be a fun zone for you to go to, to be 2.0 or 3.0 of KPI tracking. If you're just starting out, don't go there. Let's just get you tracking new patients and where they're coming from. Bottom line is these are the vitals. So first steps first, I want you with your KPIs to make sure that you have the vitals of your practice. Production, collection, new patients.   case acceptance, reappointment percentages. Those are like your main shebangs that are really gonna tell you where you're going. If you wanna add in your overhead, I also love that because that's gonna pull in the business side of it to make sure that we're actually profitable as a business and we're not just running around trying to serve, but not even being profitable as a practice. We need our practice to be profitable. Otherwise we can't serve more in our community. Those are my main things I love to focus on. So if you're just starting out, start tracking those.   I prefer you track them at a minimum every week at best. I actually like these ones to be tracked on your morning huddle. It's great. Everybody has it, have it on a whiteboard. Everybody can see it. That is the vital heartbeat of your practice. I would love you to do it. Just like on my Apple watch, I'm watching the rings on my Apple watch. That's honestly the only thing on my watch face guys, because it'd be really fun. But I decided I don't want to get distracted by other things. I need to master these items before I move on.   So that's why I love it to be front and center. Get these KPIs front and center. Get a whiteboard, guys, they're real cheap. Put it up, track these items. Production, we talked about it. Net, not gross. Collections, we wanna make sure we're collecting at least 98 % if not higher. And then I want you to know how many new patients you're getting out of goal, what your case acceptance is. A healthy practice, if we're talking dollar for dollar, I'd like you to be anywhere from 35 to 65%. Now there's a wide range on that because I actually, if you don't...   diagnose a lot of ortho and you're not diagnosing a lot of implants in larger cases, your dollar for dollar should be way up higher. If you're diagnosing these huge treatment plans constantly, you actually should be hanging out lower because we're presenting so much treatment that I'm okay with a lower case acceptance. If we're one for one, meaning one thing accepted off of our treatment plan, no matter how large it is, I want you actually to be sitting at at least a 90 % case acceptance. If you're not, we got to talk.   That's right, you and me, we're going to have a date, we're going to chat. We need to get that case acceptance up because what we're doing is we're dis-serving our patients. We're not helping them find a way to get this treatment done. You as a treatment coordinator, your job is to be a solution creator with the patient. So do your job, find the solution, get those patients accepted. That way we can help them have healthy mouths and a better life, right? That's what it's all about. Hey, Dental A Team listeners, how was your 2021? Have you reflected back? Where did you really win?   Where did you really not win? If 2021 was a year of years, congratulations. I am celebrating with you and I would love to invite you to take it to the next level.

Team development, top to bottom system development, top to bottom, changing and shifting your culture, improving your team morale. If that sounds like what you're interested in guys, I'd love to invite you to join us in our Dental A Team platinum group. It's the exclusive group where we physically fly to your practice. We give you insider tips. We share with you. have a quarterly newsletter that goes to that shares all the updates we're coming up with and we share it with our platinum group.   We'd love to have you and I would like to invite you because guys remember you're always one decision away from a completely different life. So reach out guys. I'd love to chat with you. I'd love to see if you're a great platinum client or what works best for you. Email me Hello@TheDentalATeam.com and I can't wait to welcome you as our newest platinum client. Take massive action. This is your year. Let's make sure 2022 is your year. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. Can't wait to welcome you. So those are my main KPIs that I love to track.   Once you get those dialed in and you're consistent on those and you know, then we're going to start diving into even more data. I want to know how well our hygiene department's doing. They should be producing at least three times their pay. So if I'm a hygienist making $10 an hour, wouldn't that be a dream guys? Welcome to 2022. Hygienist $10 an hour. Yeah, right. You guys are like a hundred and a billion dollars an hour. Like it's crazy how much hygienists are at right now, but let's say for the sake of this podcast, it's $10 an hour. Okay. I should be producing at least   $30 per hour as a healthy hygienist. That's on a PPO. If I'm fee for service, I like you producing at least four times your pay. So if I'm in a fee for service practice, I'm producing $40 an hour, okay? So that would be another great KPI to track. You can also break it down per department. So we might have our doctors. Great KPI to track on our doctors is what are they producing per hour? Most doctors should be producing at least $500 per hour at a minimum, okay?   So if we're working in an eight hour day, that's a $4,000 day per doctor, again on net, not gross. So that's a great metric to put in there. What are our doctors producing per hour? What's our doctor case acceptance? What's our doctor diagnosis? Great KPIs for you to start tracking. If we move on to our hygiene department, you can track fluoride, you can track perio. Perio is a great set to track. We can track ⁓ how many night guards they're doing. We can track how many orthostarts they're doing.   Great KPIs to track, again, if you're in the elite rockstar status. ⁓ Dental assistants, I like to track how many same day conversions you get. Also, how many times you leave the room is a great KPI to track. Also, how many Google reviews do dental assistants get? Those are all really, really great ones that you can do. For front office, scheduling. How often are we scheduling our hygiene and doctors to goal?   So I usually like between 80 and 90 % that they're scheduled to go. Schedulers can be how many openings they have in hygiene. It can also be how many new patients you're scheduling. For our treatment coordinators, case acceptance, right? We want to make sure that we're getting those cases up there. For office managers, what's our collection percentage that can also go to our billers? Billers, I love you to be tracking your AR. Also outstanding claims. ⁓ How long it's taking us to get our claims paid. It's a fan-freaking-tastic KPI to be tracking.   because we want to be paid quicker. Guess what? If I'm tracking that, I can see, are we not sending our claims clean and are we having errors? Could we fix that? Could we enter data better so we don't have these issues happening? Could also track how long our patients are waiting in the waiting room. If we're working on VIP new patient experience. As I just listed, there are a myriad of KPIs you could do. What happens is we often try to track too many things that were actually focused on nothing. So I suggest you usually have at least one primary KPI per   person in the practice. It's their primary. That's the one that no matter what, they're going to hit that. And we make sure it moves our needle forward. So what's going to move our doctors forward? What's going to move our hygienist forward? It's going to move our dental assistants, our scheduler, our biller, our office manager. What is the one thing if we could only focus on one thing, what's going to move each of those people forward the most and move our practice forward the most? Focus on that. Master that. Set a goal of what you should be hitting and report either weekly or daily.   on those. I'll be honest, if you report it daily, just like working out daily, you will probably see greater results than if you do it weekly or just monthly. So I also have with KPIs that you should really, really, really, really be ramping those up and making sure you're reporting consistently and that people know the goals. If we miss it, let's find out why. What's going on? Let's diagnose the problem. Let's find out what can we do to improve that. Again, I want you to think of these as vitals. KPIs are vitals of a practice.   If you don't track these, if you don't check them, you will die. Okay? If you think about it that way, well, instantly I'm like, maybe I don't need to track that. Maybe I don't need to focus on that. If you're already tracking it and you're breathing imperfect, guess what? What happened to the doctor? They start checking other things. They run blood tests on us and they check a thousand different things in that. Okay? So there are lots of KPIs you can do, but I would say keep it simple. Do the kiss method. Keep your KPIs simple. Then add to it. Maybe each quarter we add something.   Maybe each month we add something. It's also fun if you have your team help create these KPIs with you. What do they think is going to the practice board? What did they get excited about? Maybe they want to make social media posts. Maybe they care about how many followers we actually have. Maybe you guys want to do that. Maybe they do it on how many new patients they can get. I just had an office, super fun. The team decided that they were going to try and get more family members scheduled. So on average, this practice was averaging about 35 new patients. Guess what?   Guess what? Just by focusing on asking for referrals from patients and getting more family members scheduled, they use the phrase, what other family members can we get scheduled for you today? They have increased their new patients with no marketing to 50 new patients a month. Is that not rad? That's because they focus on a vital that the practice needed to do. They focus on where they were weak and they're able to move their practice forward. So guys, I would encourage each of you.   Look at these KPIs, get them set. If you don't have a regular KPI tracking, let's start there. If you do, I want to bump it up. Are those KPIs being reported weekly by all team members? And does the doctor and office manager review this? I will tell you at our company, Shelby, she's a rock star. Our whole team reports on a Google drive. We call our leadership scorecard. Those are where our KPIs hang out. Every person has a number that they're tracking. We review these, we make sure that they're the vitals of our company and they're moving us forward.   Every person reports on this every single Friday. We have a reminder that goes out, so everybody fills it in. Shelby then makes sure it comes over to me. I then with Shelby review this leadership scorecard. Then on our leadership team, we look at this every single month and make sure that those are vitals. And then we look to see where are we weak? What do we need to move forward? This is how you start to track. Also, if you want to stamp out and do more practices and you want to have more growth, having a leadership scorecard where you track these KPIs consistently.   allows you to then be able to manage and oversee multiple locations because everybody's tracking. And at a second, you can glance at this and you'll be able to know where your practice is weak and where it's strong and where you need to dive in and give it massive help. So guys, I strongly encourage you, if you're not doing it, do it. If you're doing it already, where can you ramp it up? If you're already ramping it up, get your team members involved and ask them where they want to take it to the next level. KPIs are magic. They're vitals. Also, if you're in that top, top tier,   Maybe I challenge you and say, where could you simplify? Are you overtracking? Sometimes when I look at dental intel, I'm like, holy guac. That's a lot of items you're tracking. How do they know where to focus? I think about the book, Essentialism. If you haven't read it, I would strongly encourage you to do it. If we're focused on too many things, we actually don't make a lot of progress anywhere. We make minimal progress. If we're focused on one thing, we kill it. We knock it out of the park. We dominate it. So I challenge each of you, look at those KPIs. Could you simplify them if you're already doing them?   What are the main drivers of the practice? Keep it to three per department is my recommendation. Make sure that what we're truly focused on is actually going to move you guys forward. If you need help getting those KPIs set up, if that's something you want to start doing, we make sure our practices are all tracking. Our offices have vitals. We look at them. We actually call it their vital scorecard. Truth. That's really what we call it. So if you guys want to help with this, if you'd love somebody to help hold you accountable, email me. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. I'd love to help you out.   nothing else guys, go get these KPIs in place and know that you guys are in control of this. You can see your practice at a glance.
