Editor's Note: We experienced some technical audio issues during the recording of this episode. While every effort was made to improve the sound quality, listeners may notice occasional audio fluctuations throughout the conversation. Thank you for your understanding. Rob and Brittany welcome Congressman Chris Deluzio of Pennsylvania's 17th District to the podcast. Deluzio is a Navy veteran, VFW member, and member of the House Armed Services Committee who continues to advocate for service members, veterans, and military families on Capitol Hill. Before the interview, VFW National Legislative Service Director Kristina Keenan and Associate Director Joy Craig join the show for an in-depth legislative update covering several key issues impacting veterans and military families. The discussion includes ongoing efforts to secure justice for victims of Camp Lejeune water contamination, implementation of the VA Home Loan Program Reform Act, progress on the Major Richard Star Act, and developments in the Fiscal Year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Deluzio reflects on his path from the U.S. Naval Academy to military service and eventually Congress, discussing how veterans bring a mission-first mindset to public service. He shares his experiences serving as a Surface Warfare Officer, deploying to Iraq alongside Army units, and the importance of having veterans represented in government. The conversation explores military quality-of-life issues, including pay, housing, spouse employment, child care, and the challenges of transitioning from military service to civilian life. Deluzio also discusses the importance of military credentialing programs, improving transition assistance, protecting veterans' benefits, and advancing legislation such as the Major Richard Star Act.

In this episode, Matthew Schmitz joins R. R. Reno on The Editor's Desk to talk about his recent review, “Our Strange Catholic Moment” from the June/July 2026 issue of the magazine.

Chad was side stage Saturday night for Chase Rice. Sunday night it was Dustin Lynch headlining the Drifters Festival, and he owned it from the first song. The audio was dialed in, and Dustin talked to the crowd, told stories, fired them up, and did a Toby Keith tribute that had the whole place going. Chad was there with Brittany, his other friend Brittany, and her husband Brad. They went backstage before the show, stood side stage for the whole set, then got back on the bus after and went out in Reno together. Chad's known Dustin for years. From Talladega, Tennessee, duck camp, hunting stories on the bus. He talks about what makes Dustin different. His humility, the down-to-earth energy, and the fact that he's a hunter and a provider who genuinely gets it. Dustin Lynch is coming to camp this fall. Chad can't wait. This one turns into a full-blown love letter to music — country, outlaw, rock, metal, hip hop, all of it. Chad goes deep on Hayes Carl, Brent Cobb's new album, Whiskey Myers, GNR, Metallica, and old school rap. If you love music the way Chad loves music, this one's for you.

Part one of Kiera's conversation with Howard Farran on the Dentaltown podcast. They discuss how many details a dentist should know about their business, what about the COVID-19 pandemic still haunts practices, the AI of dentistry and the human care of patients, hidden gaps draining profitability, and more. 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, this is Kiera. And today we are sharing a guest interview I did on another podcast. And it was too valuable not to bring you guys here.   this episode, you're gonna hear this host lead the conversation and then I'll wrap us up at the end. I cannot wait. It was truly one of my most   episodes and I truly hope you enjoy.   The Dental A Team (00:17) It's just a huge honor for me today to bring back Kiera Dent. How are you doing, Kiera? my gosh, Howard. It's so great to be back. I remember my very first podcast with you. I was actually at an office in Alabama and I went like hid in this room because I was starstruck podcasting with you. So to be able to be back on the show with you ⁓ several years later is just fun. I love what you guys are doing. I love Dentaltown. I love your posts. so it's really fun to be back. So thank you. ⁓ the honor is all mine. Just remember Kiera likes Shakira.   And Dent is just her nickname. The full name is Dental Queen Goddess. So thank you. And ⁓ she is the founder and CEO of the Dental A Team, committed to elevating dentists and their teams to their highest level through customized in-office and virtual consulting and training. Her vast experience ranges from the front office to assistant, regional manager, and dental practice owner, giving her a perspective few consultants can claim.   She and her team work with hundreds of dental practices nationwide and confidently say we don't just understand you, we are you. Among her many accomplishments, Ciara has grown a practice from 500,000 to 2.4 million in just nine months with a doctor straight out of dental school. She's coached hundreds of practices, authored numerous articles, and designed a customizable operations manual manual that serves as a roadmap for systems and team success.   Her Dental A Team podcast has amassed nearly 2 million downloads, making it one of the most impactful resources in all of dentistry. Kiera lives every day by her core values. Do the right thing, ownership, passion for excellence, ease, grit, innovator, die, and fun. Her motto says it all. There is always a solution. And my gosh, I just want to tell you the truth. And the reason I was so excited to bring you on. It seems like dentistry has turned into two groups of dentists.   There's all the old farts like me who, you know, we had, you know, we had great practices, great lives, great careers. And then you got these younger dentists that look at us and say, ⁓ man, you graduated in the good old days. You know, you didn't have five hundred thousand dollars of student loans, you didn't have DSOs, Delta hasn't given us a raise in four generations, and and and they're mad at the ADA. I think they're even mad at their mom. I I they're I think so and they're not happy. Do you have any good news?   For these dental graduates with $500,000 of student loans, or did they make the wrong decision and should have become a plumber? I mean, you know, plumbing is always a backup plan if dentistry doesn't work. So I think you're like at least in that realm. Like, you know, there's always options. But I love dentistry and I actually, ⁓ I think we're actually in the best time of dentistry. And I know that yes, there's the good old days. Then Howard, those were great days for you. But I think like, how many options do people have now? We have AI, we have these innovations, and I mean.   Your my example of a student straight out of dental school, we actually had one million. So I actually called her 2.5 because we had $2.5 million. So from student debt to practice loan debt to buying another location, all within a couple of months of us starting the practice. And so I called her 2.5 every time I walked past her. I was like, get that back straight, girl. Like we got 2.5 mil of debt on us. but to be able to grow our practice in nine months was   Absolutely incredible. And I think that that's where dentistry is amazing. There is no cap, there is no ceiling, and you have a way to truly impact and change people's lives. And I'm like, you have DSOs as options. Like there were not the times where you were getting the multiples that you get today. You also have like there are so many avenues that dentistry can afford you. but I think it's a it's a matter of what you choose to focus on, is what you're going to find more of. If you want to sit here and say, ⁓ my gosh, it's awful. We have 500,000 of debt. And I'm like, Yeah, but guess what? My husband had   Not quite the same, but we had several hundreds, thousands of dollars of debt. And he's a pharmacist. And so I understand what it's like to come out of school and have hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt on us. But guess what? He's making, you know, hundred, hundred and fifty. If we're lucky on a good day, we're capped out. It took us forever to pay back our student loans. But as dentistry, you have untapped and uncapped potential. And so for me, you get to change people's lives, you get to give them confidence, you get to help them have better health, and you're able to make people smile like.   I can't think of a better opportunity to be a part of. And I'm not just Pollyanna over here. I coach hundreds and thousands of offices. I've seen the good, the bad, the ugly, and the in between. But I'll tell you, depending upon how you choose to view this, you can either find the good or the bad. And I'd recommend like, let's find the great because it's a gold line of opportunity if you want to see it. What what do you say to dentists who say, Mm-mm, you know, I I really don't want to complain really a bit. I mean, on paper my   My practice looks perfect. I got two hygienists. I do a million dollars. I do all this, but just internally it just feels chaotic and stressful. So it looks like on paper he's doing everything right. But she says, I still feel like chaos and stress. What's what's that about? I think like welcome to being a business owner. I think that there's two sides of success. In the word success, there's literally the word suck. Like there are parts of success that are going to suck. Like that's just how it is, guys.   And so that chaos and internal turmoil, I think I there I have lots of offices where you don't have to be that way. And I think going from like operator doing all the pieces, being stressed out into like a CEO of a business. ⁓ I think sometimes dentists are such gunners doers, they're so hands-on that they have this internal chaos. But there there are paths again that don't have to be that way. But I also think this is part of the game of business that we signed up for. And I think when you get to the level like Howard.   You've seen, I've seen over our career, we've got the gunners and the doers and the like zero to two year business owners. Like it's freaking chaos. It's psycho. Like you're learning these things just like you're back in dental school. But as you mature, you start to realize that the chaos is just part of the game. And the more you're able to learn to weather it, to see it, and to not do all the pieces, elevate your team, get great people, do like hire it out. You can hire, I mean, a practice is doing a million and you got great profitability and overhead.   You can hire a lot of great people to take away a lot of your problems. And so like, let's get some of those things done. And then you actually become happier and you make more money. So that you don't have to sit in that chaos. I think that there's a part of it that will always suck. but there's also a part that can really be the successful part too, that's fulfillment and enjoyment. But you got to make the steps and take the steps to do it rather than just sit and complain about it.   Love it, love it, love it. ⁓ what do you what do you say about the ⁓ the dentist who got out of school, goes and works for a major DSO, say say he's working for Rick Workman, Heartland, and he works there two years, and you know, he you know, he's working for a guy that owns eighteen, nineteen hundred dental offices, but he can't tell you the code for a profit. Can't he'll say, like, you know, are they paying my pay right? Really? You can't check at you. I mean, it it's like   It's like they'll listen to a forty hour lecture on the difference between two different composites, but they did I mean th they worked through two years, they don't know insurance codes, they can't check out a patient, they don't know the software. I mean, I had one guy tell me, ⁓ the only thing you could tell me about the practice manager software is the brand name. He couldn't tell me and then he's asking me, you know, it what which one you know, but anyway, do you think do you think a dentist doesn't need to know all the business details?   Or do you think that's a blind spot and you can't delegate anything till you can do it and master it? I think that there's two types of owners. And I think that there's some that are really great at hiring people that they are great at hiring people, knowing it, listening to podcasts, hiring coaches, training the team, and like having somebody spot check for you. Then there's others that like they've got to know the ins and outs. But I think that like Howard, there's   To me, there's also a middle ground where I think that you can go sit with your biller for one day and just like say, like, walk me through your process. So you have a general idea and an understanding of what they do. Go watch to see how they schedule. ⁓ I think when it comes to billing, I do think the dentists have a very big blind spot. And to me, that is like as a business owner, not to know how your money comes to you. To me, that feels like a pretty big blind spot of like even just understanding that knowledge. And so   If I were to say, I don't think you need to know the ins and outs. I love like I recognize this. I was a business owner of it. I own practices. I worked with hundreds of dentists at Midwestern University's Dental College. Like, I hear what you guys are taught. Plus, I'm a team member on the other side. And so I created a billing course and an office manager course because I just want a dentist to know like, what should I be able to expect? And I think like if you want to just have a general overview so you don't get blindsided, you you can have it. I think you can quickly within like a week.   Know the bulk of like everything you need to know in a practice very simply, very easily. So that way you can delegate. That way you can have it. You're not gonna be perfect. but I think just having a general awareness. And then I love to give doctors just a quick checklist, like once a month, go spot check, go grab an EOB. Even if you don't know what the heck that EOB is, go ask your front office for it, check it. And just the more you learn that language, just like the language of business, I think it doesn't need to be an overnight sensation.   But I do think the more you're aware of it, I don't think you have to do every single role though to be a successful practice owner. And I mean, shoot, if Heartland can do it, I think it's a good example. But I think who are you? And are you a hands-on tactical person? Are you somebody who's really good at hiring people, t trusting other people, getting the checklist and spot checking? I think you can do it either way. But my recommendation is like just like one week, go like sit in every seat of your practice and get a general awareness and educate yourself on the things that you don't know. I'm really big on money, understanding at least how insurance works. And then also how do we like   present cases, what are kind of the flow that way those big zones that really impact your financials, you can you can be aware of. So those courses, those online CE courses, your website is The Dental A Team. The Dental A Team. Now I think the A Team, you need that guy with the Mohawk and all the bling. I mean that's who I am in my like spare time. This hair is just a facade. Like, you know, I hang out as Mr T. Mr T. Mr T, Mr T, yeah.   That's why I was thinking the A Team, but is that on your on your website, the th those courses? Yeah, they are. So we have an online library, it's all C E. We've got downloadable checklists, we've got operations manual. You got it. That's exactly right. And Howard, in real time, I'll have our marketing team actually put together a code. If you guys put in Dentaltown, since you're listening, we'll make sure that you guys get a coupon code for that as well. Well, since it's my compass podcast IRS that you just put Fabio.   you want Fabio? Okay. well in that case. So ⁓ so is I also see you have a ⁓ Summit twenty twenty six is live on Friday, April twenty fourth. Grab your ticket. Where's where's that show gonna be? Is it Reno where you are? You know, that's actually virtual, Howard, and it's one of our like favorite comebacks constantly. And the reason I do it virtual, people have been asking me for years, like, why don't you do it in person, Kiera? And what I found is   Because it's so like again as a team member, I really struggle to get my team ramped up, amped up, and have it be financially affordable. So what I found is if we can have it virtual in your practice with your full team, you guys are able to get this boost and surge of energy and have a good time. So it's for leadership teams, it's for doctors. ⁓ we've been doing it for six years strong and we tend to have hundreds of offices. You get your whole office there, you have a good time.   But yeah, it's virtual and it's C E and it's a great time. ⁓ I attend a lot of Tony Robbins, a lot of Brendan Bouchard, Rachel Hollis. So we've learned how to do people have told me the online experience is so fun. ⁓ we just get continual people coming back year after year after year. So yeah, come join us. It'd be a great time. I love Tony Robbins because ⁓ you know, my boys they wrestled year round from age five to fifteen.   Yeah. Made our garage. I got two real wrestling mats from the manufacturer in Pennsylvania delivered by an AJ Miller. So I never ever parked in my garage ever. And we would we were listening to that Tony Robbins 30 day, 30 day personal power. Yep. And then I and then I bought my first laptop when I went to MBA school. And so I took notes on it. And then when I was done, I I ⁓ closed down Saturday and I went to a studio Saturday, Sunday, and I ranted out my notes.   And I said, this has got to be 30 hours because I mean it's still Tony Robbins 30 day personal power. And that was the 30-day dental MBA. ⁓ and it worked out to be about thirty hours. But I'm telling you, the pandemic changed everything. That was when ⁓ online CE at Dentaltown just went through the roof and it hasn't come back and dental meetings haven't come back. Cause why do I need to fly to Chicago to listen to you if I got a Zoom call or   or streaming video or this event. I mean, I mean, just think of the plane ticket, the hotel, the sitting and attending. If you're in Phoenix, you know, just to get to New York is a five hour flight. I mean, why I I gotta fly five hours each way when I could see you on YouTube or a podcast or or whatever. But I wanna but I want to go back to that pandemic because that pandemic, I really think the reason you can really do this so successfully today is because of that pandemic. That's why we realize   I don't have to be in the flesh to learn knowledge. And and like I I I feel fine talking to you. I me too. The only thing I regret is teaching my mother how to do that. I got her FaceTime and all that kind of stuff. And because she calls to tell me about ever every one of her exciting things is junk mail she has. She's eighty seven and she believes every piece of junk mail. I love it. She's always free freaking out on her junk mail. But but I want to talk about the pan the dark side of the pandemic.   And that is a lot of people think about 20% of the hygienists left to practice. Before, you know, when I got out of school, your labor was supposed to be twenty percent, your overhead was supposed to be fifty percent. And by the time it was it didn't even take 10 or 20 years, and and due to insurance, I think not keeping up, ⁓ overhead went to basically two thirds. It went to about sixty-five percent and labor went to about twenty five, sometimes twenty-seven percent.   I'm hearing thirty percent labor all the time. And I mean I mean I'm talking about serious dudes who know the business of dentistry. And I don't I don't want to get my buddy Rick Kirstram out of me. He owns a hundred comfort dentals and he said he can't he said he's got the mean and lean where labor is twenty. He says he's got mean and leans with labor at twenty-eight, twenty-eight and a half. So so the the pandemic is ⁓ it that was five years ago. Why do you think it   seriously impacted labor cost of the pandemic. I do, Howard. And I think I think we kind of have this perfect storm, right? Like I think we've got multiple waves coming at us that have impacted. I think the pandemic pushed out those that were like, you know, I'm done. Like, like I'm good. I'm at the end of my career. I don't really want to do that. ⁓ a lot of hygienists are female and I think a lot of them realize they did not need two incomes anymore. And so it's like, you know, I want to be with my kids. I want to be home.   And then hygiene schools don't pump out a lot of hygienists and it's usually like a two year span. So yes, I have actually seen like hygiene is it really did, and then it clicked up. So the cost of hygienist has gone up astronomically. I mean, I think the highest I've seen of a hygienist being paid was 85 an hour. And to me, I was like, at that point, that was up in ⁓ it was up in Washington, up by Bellevue, Mount Vernon, that area. And I literally saw the the posting for 85 plus a a bonus, and I was like,   Screw that at that point. Like in all respect to hygienists, I'm gonna hire a dentist for that cost. Like I truly will. And that's not being disrespectful. It's just like a dentist is a more multifaceted. I understand they are not great hygienists, but if I have to and I'm gonna be putting this number up, like we've got to get to a space where it does work. So yes, I do. However, there are more hygienists coming onto the market. I still know that this is one of the hardest things, but ⁓ I have a practice that's out in Maui, rough life, huh, Howard? I get to fly to Maui to go do work, like.   You know, shout out to that office. ⁓ but what we found is we were able to find a way to get the hygienist to be paid exponentially higher by doing assisted hygiene. And so I think I'm seeing people innovate. I think I'm watching them create. I think I'm seeing people do some more outsourced costs in the front office. And so they're able to then offset the costs of the clinical team. ⁓ I think that people are just getting innovative and creative. And what I want to highlight is while this feels annoying, this is also business. And if we don't innovate and if we don't continue to evolve,   We actually decay and decline as an as an organization and as an industry. And so I know it's annoying and I absolutely empathize. And you're right. Like for me on our payroll, we're at 30%. Like I've had that as our metric for our clients for the last five years because payroll costs have gone up. But I'm like, but just because they've gone up, like let's look at several other industries. I mean, we're not here to like love on or hate on McDonald's, but I'm like, they have kiosks. They figured it out.   I checked in at a hotel in downtown San Francisco. There was no person there when I checked in. It was literally a person on Zoom just like this. I clicked in, they said hello to me. They took my information, but they didn't have to have a physical body in the office. And I think with AI and technology, dentistry is going to evolve, but I think the art and the care of patients does not need to evolve. And so, like, let's put our dollars where that matters and let's be able to look and innovate in other ways that keep our costs low. ⁓ I still think dentistry, I mean, why is there a one percent default rate on loans? Like,   Banks are still lending. We had the first down year of DSOs last year and the first uptick of private practice last year. And so when I look at these things, like it is still a great business to be in, even though labor costs, like, guys, again, it's just another flavor of business. So like let's figure out how to innovate. Let's figure out how to do it. And like, yes, I'm gonna pay for great people. I see team members as assets, not liabilities. And I'm gonna cut and chop on other areas that I can, but I'm also gonna be smart with my labor costs and make sure each person hitting their KPIs, they've got numbers that they're driving.   We are running this as an efficient business while like loving and taking care of our patients at the same time. I'm glad you mentioned bank loans because it's less than one percent default rate. Yes. All the defaults have the same thing in common. They all had their license taken away. Right. Always. And and if it's for drugs or alcohol, they now treat that as a medical disease. And the dentists still say, Screw you, I'm not gonna quit doing biking. And then they run south of the border. And that's why whenever you find a dentist down there that looks like me.   They're running for free Vicada. They they they said I'm not peeing any. So unless you, you know, do something just horrible. I mean, and you know, you have you have to get your it licensed in your way. But I w I wanna tell you about you know, there's just so many other things that you can focus on besides labor, like increasing their productivity. ⁓ I know dental offices. you can get a full if you pay a dentist in the Philippines five dollars an hour.   You get the best dentists in the Philippines. And I and there's dental offices that with Zoom and things like that are doing all their insurance and their claims and all that stuff. I mean, ⁓ so the with with with ⁓ with the internet, I mean you can literally have someone ⁓ be at the front desk ⁓ on a on a kiosk that's actually a dentist from the Philippines from five dollars an hour who when he's not busy can be calling your insurance companies all that. I I want to ask you another thing that's really hot on Dentaltown.   today. Everybody keeps talking about these dental insurance EFTs versus virtual credit cards. but basically everybody's reporting that major dental companies like even Delta are gonna stop sending paper checks and you gotta do it all electronic. And I guess that that electronic could be free, but it could be you know it could be another three and a half or three percent credit card fee on all your claims. Or what or what are your thoughts on all that? I'm hard on that   I have and I'm a hard no on the credit cards. Like, why? Why are you doing that? EFTs are so fast. Like there's absolutely no reason to be paying this. Explain to my home. A lot of them don't even know what a EFT. Mo I I bet 80% of the the dentists listen don't even know what we're talking about. Will you explain it? Will you explain it like I just graduated from dental school eight minutes ago? Of course. Well, I think that this is also where going back a little bit where you said, like, do dentists need to know the business? To me.   You don't even have to know that much, but I want to just challenge you that if you're getting a three, three and a half percent cut on your payments for quote unquote ease, that's a real big hit. And I would just challenge you to think about like for what and why. And so coming in, there's different ways the insurances are going to pay you. So they're gonna pay you via paper check, they're gonna pay you via EFT, which is a electronic fund transfer, or they've got this new thing where they're gonna pay you via credit card. And like honestly, to me, the credit card is so scammy.   And I've talked to so many people and like educate me, like, why would anybody do this? Like, I cannot comprehend. Like, I'm already taking a cut on insurance as is. Like, thank you for my marketing fee to be an insurance. Like, that's how I view that that write-off. Like, I know you hate it, but you're also gonna, you're either gonna have to do that, or you're gonna have to pay for marketing to bring in fee for service patients. So, like, again, let's just think about that. But I'm like, so I've already got a cut there, but I'm then gonna take another hit in addition to that for a credit card ease.   So as we're talking about that electronic fund transfers, they deposit straight into your bank account. The reason that some offices don't care for electronic fund transfers is because like trying to match it up is a like it kind of dumps and chunks into your bank account. So all you need to do is help your team members. Like there's ways that you can have it where it automatically emails your team when that comes through. So then they can go online and they can find out what the EFT was, so then they can balance and like enter it in.   I do think dentistry software is so dated because what happens is when we get paid from the insurance company, we get either like it's called an EOB, it's an explanation of benefits, and it's like batch checks. So when they dump this money to you, Delta's gonna give me like 20 grand. But like, who do I allocate that 20 grand to of all these patients? So that's I think where some people have like, well, electronic funds are so annoying and this and that. But I'm like, they're very quick, they're very fast, they're a lot safer than paper checks. Paper checks people do get embezzled on.   That I literally see no reason. Like, I don't care if you get it like one day sooner with a credit card, you are paying a huge hefty fee on that unnecessarily when electronic fund transfers are pretty much just as fast. Like maybe a like smidgey of a delay. But to me, that's a that's a very worthwhile smidgey of a delay. Because you're getting your payments so much faster. And as long as you're staying on top of it, you should still be able to maintain a 98% collections rate, even if you do checks or if you do electronic fund transfers. It just is so.   So dumb. I've yet to see a reason. But to me, I'm like insurances are so smart because it's just another way for them to take a chip out of what they're paying you and to have it come back to them. So again, think of the motive as to why they're offering. These people are not dumb. Those insurance companies, if you've ever gone to a business who's the biggest building in the entire city, it's your insurance companies. They're not dumb businesses. And I think we need to be smarter business owners that out think that. They always but Delta always says, we're   Yeah, so is Rolex Watch. Rolex Watch is a non profit. And and some of the CEOs of some of the anyway, we won't go there. But ⁓ yeah, ⁓ so what other ⁓ besides you know, when when someone tells me about their overhead, I tell them, look, I can't call the government and have my tax rate lowered. I can't call the nuclear power plant SRP or APS and tell them to lower my electric bill. I mean, something I i if the hygienists can   Wants a dollar an hour and if I say no, I'll give you 75 cents and she can go get a dollar across the street. I mean the market sets many, many prices. So the only way to fight that back is to ⁓ increase your productivity. You know, I mean if if if you have a dollar in labor and they do a dollar in dentistry, your overhead is a hundred percent. But if your dollar in overhead can do two dollars in dentistry, now it's down to fifty percent. So how so ⁓ are there other   ⁓ hidden gaps that are quietly draining profitability, or has it just come down to production? Or is it both I like I'm so glad you brought this up because I think like it's so easy to sit here and say, like, dentistry's not profitable. But I'm like, go find me another business that has a one percent fell rate that usually can run twenty to thirty percent profit margins if you run a business right. And this is not just Kiera sitting here fluff. This is like I got real clients running at these margins consistently. They've got large practices, small practices.   And so when I look at this and I'm like, okay, how do we make this more efficient? A lot of people want to go to the first thing of like, let's cut insurances. And I'm like, yay, pop the confetti, but be real smart. Because again, you're gonna then increase marketing fees, you're gonna lose a lot of your patient base. Like, let's just think through the ramifications. And so there's lots of different ways that we can increase productivity and not have to go for the cut. So I look at three levers that I found that can increase a practice. So one is we can increase our production. We're talking net production, not gross, like please feed your family, not your ego. So that's number one.   Number two is what's your collection percentage? Cause half the time doctors feel like they're broke and they don't have money, but your money's sitting in AR, which is your aging reports or your accounts receivable. We're not collecting the money and we don't have a good billing process. We got to get our collections up to 98%. And then the third thing is like we cut costs. And so looking at that, a lot of people want to go to just cut costs. I'm like, but in dentistry, let's break it down. If I want to add 10 grand more to my practice.   I love to help teams. Most offices are working four days a week. So if we're wanting to add 10 grand to a practice, working four days a week, let's do 10,000 and we're working 16 days a month. That's an extra six twenty-five a day. Well, how can we make six twenty-five in a dental practice? Let's think about our fluoride applications. Let's think about FMXs. Like I'm just talking, this is your lowest hanging fruit for you. Let's talk about could we add one or two fillings? Could we add like same-day dentistry, which is going to make more raving fans for our patients? There is so much ease in there.   Now, to increase our production, we can also look at our case acceptance. Doctors have so much case acceptance. And also, what are we diagnosing? I'm like, doctors, if you want to be producing 100 grand a month, the statistics are you need to be diagnosing three times that amount. And then we need to make sure our treatment coordinators are really good at diagnosing explaining treatment to them. They're not diagnosing, but they're explaining the treatment. They're presenting it in a way. We're not using insurance as our main driver. We're using it as like a coupon. And then we're really good at our follow through and our follow up.   Gotta have a right person, right seat in your treatment coordinator seat that's obsessive with hitting the right goals. And so there's like so many little ways. Like you can in I have added block scheduling, which I know is like a consultant's number one favorite thing to talk about, but like make it really make sense and easy for your team. I've added a million to a practice with no extra days, no extra work. We literally are just being more strategic with how we schedule. And so there's just so many little ways that I want dentists to realize like,   To me, I get really excited. This is where I geek out as a consultant. I geek out and I love to help that is because I'm like, how can I like squeeze more juice from the lemon you're already in? Like, let's just make more lemonade. Let's figure out ways to do it. And then let's make sure our costs are effective. So we teach your teams how to look at the business as a business. We teach each team member about their one KPI that's really going to drive it forward. We help them track. I just did this with an office manager this week and she's so lit up to look at her numbers, to look at her metrics, to see how she can do it.   And when they start to see how they can click it through, it's not you trying to push and drive more money. Like doctors, I tell everybody, every team member, you want your doctor to be so freaking profitable. Because if they're profitable and they're like they're secure, your life is so much better. So like I'm like dentists, we got to get you profitable, we to get the cash flow, we got to get you less stressed because you're gonna be a better dentist and a better business owner. But how are there's so many little easy ways where it's just low-hanging   Typically I'm able to add 10 to 30% of production in usually 90 days to an office, like very consistently with just small little reps, no real extra work. How are we doing our exams? Are we being directive in our treatment planning? Are we using like, okay, next visit I want to see you for this? And when do I want to see you back? And how much time is this going to take? Like, let's break down the barriers of treatment planning. There's so many little simple things that if you just implement, you can be very profitable very easily.   And then look at your P L. If you're not looking at your P and L every single week or month, like just being aware, getting into the language of business, that's also gonna help you too. So yes, cut. ⁓ but I found that it's always a lot easier to make sure our collections match, our production matches, and we use those little low hanging fruits. ⁓ and it's there. Like dentistry is such a magical, like, like it's a great lemon tree. You can make a lot of lemonade out of a dental practice. I want you to tell me if I'm right or wrong or or   I think I think there's two threes to double your price. Number one, if three people call your front desk, one is going to come in because they're smart and they need to they know they need to get their teeth clean. One isn't gonna come in for anything and you can hear them vaping and smoking and drinking beer and eating Cheetos on the call. But one out of three needs a little extra push. And if you train the person answering the phone, they can close that one out of three. And if they do, they doubled your practice. Then when they get in, you still got the now you got three people in chair.   One's gonna do what you say because you're a doctor and they've done their their author search and and you say they got a cavity, they're not gonna argue with you. One's not gonna do anything. In fact, in fact in fact I was like I had about a dozen patients that in the middle of my treatment plan, they asked me if they could just take a cigarette break ⁓ from my presentation and they went outside, had a cigarette, came back. They're gonna do it. But the other one in three needs some some closing skills. And so if you if you can close on the phone   You doubled your practice. You you got two butts in instead of instead of one. And if you fix your treatment plan presentation, you're gonna do two cases at one. And I think it's so funny now because the dentists have never let their hygienist or assistant, let alone receptionist, do any diagnosing treatment plan. But now AI, Pearl, and Overjet diagnosing all the cavities. So you wouldn't let your hygienist while she's in there for an hour.   Diagnose and treatment plan and sell the dentistry, the assistant while they're taking FMX, they they can't point out, yeah, see, that's a cavity, you don't need a filling and a root now. yeah, they couldn't do it because they were humans. But now Pearl and Overjeck can do it all day long and you're good with that. I mean, so so what how do you how do you double the close rate from one out of three to two out of three on the phone? How do you double the treatment plan acceptance rate from one to two out of three? Yeah. Do you do you agree those are possible goals?   Absolutely, Howard. I think again, this is the low hanging fruit that people are like, but that feels so hard. And I'm like, choose your hard. Like, is it harder to spend a little time with a front office and train them how to do this? Is it a little like, or is it harder to be cash flow negative? Like you choose what's your hard to me? Absolutely. Let's go after that. And I agree with you. Like teaching a team to preheat an oven, I call it what would doctor do. And so like, let's train our hygienist.   Like I tell all hygienists, doctor should be the second opinion, not the first opinion. And you got Pearl and you got Overjet. And so just spending a little bit of time with your team. So what we typically do for case acceptance, like let's go hit that one quick and then we'll talk about scheduling. Is I'm really big on let's get the whole team where we're talking the same language. So we recommend, like, what would doctor do? I recommend you run this over the course of six weeks, is typically how long it takes, anywhere from six weeks to maybe three months.   but we're gonna sit there and we're literally going to go through. We're gonna pull up an FMX. We're gonna do it one day over lunch. Hygienists, doctors, and if you want front office and dental assistance, rock on. But really, I want my like people that are seeing the bulk of my patients with doctor and hygiene. We're gonna look there and I want all of our hygienists to start like if we have an FMX up there and the interaurals, what is doctor going to recommend and how is doctor gonna talk about it? We're not just gonna sit here and have a nice little chit-chat. We're each gonna write it down because I wanna make sure every hygienist starts to get very, very comfortable. And the goal that I tell all hygienists is   Your goal should be at the end of this, what would doctor do training over six weeks? And if doctors are really consistent with it, I'm like six weeks of training to be able to double your practice and increase your case acceptance to me is a very good use of my time. So if I can do that, doctors and hygienists, you should be able to have 95% accuracy with your doctors at the end of this. And they do it. So hygienists get really lit up and they get very excited about it because now they're able to preheat the oven. They're able to talk to patients about it, use Pearl, use Overjet.   And then doctors, when they tee it up to you, and I say like hygienist, you've got to be the ones who first like introduce it, talk about it with the doctor as soon as they come in, but be real quick. So we introduce the patient, we compliment the patient on something, we recap the treatment that's discussed and we say something personal. Hygienist, you do that, your doctor exams will be much shorter for you and doctors will love it because it's very quick. If we can get that dialed in, and then doctors, you have a very like confirm the treatment.   then recommend exactly what needs to happen. And then we take that same baton up to the front office and front office, we schedule first. We then present the treatment. We use insurance secondary. I'm never leading with insurance. You do these little items which seem like, ⁓ no, that's like very quick, easy things. You're going to rapidly be able to help those ones. And then I do a two two two follow-up. So if they did not close for me and I'm going to go through it and I'm going to work through and I'm going to track all the people that didn't say yes to me and all the people that did say yes to me.   I'm gonna look for patterns. What are people saying yes? Like those are easy ones. Those are the gimme's. Those are the easy patients that Howard said. I'm looking for the people that say no and what's my pattern in there? And how do I change my verbiage? Because treatment planning is 80% psychology, 20% skill. So like what are you thinking? How are we presenting it? What are the words we're saying? One or two little changes usually will close that. What are the patterns and how can I get that number up higher? And I follow up with them in two days, two weeks, two months to make sure that they don't follow off.   People are like, Kiera, you really make your treatment coordinator do that? And like, yeah, I was your treatment coordinator that closed $50,000 same day. And this is exactly what I did. This is how I've trained co offices across the nation to do it. You just have these simple little things that help them out. And then you flip over to our scheduling. Like, I think scheduling's easy, Howard. I genuinely do. I'm like, half of it is just be nice. Like you got the COVID crank, and so many people are so grumpy and so like.   Annoyed when they pick up the phone, then I'm like, you can already leap your ahead by just being nice and being excited to welcome a patient. Then take like charge of that conversation. So let's take the ownership of that conversation. If someone's Do you take my insurance? I'm going to quickly redirect and say, my gosh, how did you hear about us? I'm going to answer that, but I want to find out how did they hear about us? If it's our Google reviews, if it's a referral, if it's somewhere else, I want to like say, my gosh, you're so lucky to be here.   We love our patients. We love our reviews. I can't wait for you to be a great raving fan too. let's talk about this. I can everything can be overcome. Please do not let being out of network stop people. It's a thousand dollar coupon and we're turning people away over that. No, no, no. We are better than that. And if we are the best dentist, they need to be coming to us. We need to win these patients over, make them feel so loved. Let's get them scheduled. Let's make this a great experience for them. Let's make them feel so excited. I did it with PT called like six offices.   And the office I chose, like so many people were annoyed I was calling. Can I put you on hold? Can I do this? And I was like, no one really wants my business. If you're just nice and you take control of that conversation, you can easily turn and transform your practice. So hopefully that was like not too much. I like I love these things. I love training treatment planning. I love training how to like take control of a phone call. I love helping teams overcome those little simple objections because it's very, very simple things.   that make massive leaps and bounds of change. And it's a great way to double your practice very easily, like you said.   The Dental A Team (36:13) All right, Dental A Team listeners, that was the guest interview that I absolutely loved. And I hope that if there was one idea that stood out to you, don't just agree with it, but actually go implement it this week.

Brian is hiding from CMA Fest, Ben is back from the British Virgin Islands, and Ted has finally sprung the Egg from a two-month annual. Time for an Information Whiskey episode.Brian gets back in the air after his exam binge with a visit to Full Stop Aviation at Union City, where he meets a 1,000 horsepower Reno racer, then executes a strategic family airstrike to the Virginia mountains and reports that Lucy's autopilot vertical hold now sounds like logging into America Online before giving up entirely. Listener feedback from Chris H. sparks a debate on whether heavy dual time before the private checkride is a red flag or just life happening. Community accomplishments include a PIN code for the DC FRZ, a 9,000 foot density altitude wake turbulence encounter, ten Young Eagles in one day, an LSRM-I sign-off, and fresh grief for everyone hand jamming a Garmin 430 in actual.Then things go deeper. Brian unpacks his new video "Trip. Fall. Succeed." and the photograph he took of a family at Huntsville Executive just two days before they were lost in the Montana Aztec accident. It's a thoughtful look at how aviation talks about tragedy, and how Ron Horton's challenge to become instructors gives all of this weight and purpose.Plus: episode 200 hits this fall, and the crew wants your votes for a very special non-event event at a no-place place.

Chad just got home from side stage at the Drifters Music Festival in Reno, and he had to get on the mic. Chase Rice headlined. Brittany was there. So was Les Nesbitt at 85, Chad's brother Clay, his nephew Chase, and his lab, Jack, who may be the most famous dog in country music. They walked to the stage with Chase, stood side stage for the whole set, and spent over an hour on the bus after. Chad's known Chase for six years. He met him through Jack Daniels in Turkey Camp in Oklahoma. Since then, it's been duck camps in Wisconsin, Kansas, Tennessee, backstage in Nashville, Vegas with Les and Dan Henderson at Steve Aoki the night before a sold-out Kane Brown show at T-Mobile Arena. That night, Chase called Les up from the stage, and 15,000 people sang him happy birthday. This episode is part concert recap, part friendship tribute. Chad runs through the set list, from Walk That Easy, to Bad Day, Key West to Colorado, Circa 1943, Cruise, a Toby Keith tribute with Should Have Been a Cowboy, and Lonely Eyes to close it out. He talks about Chase's evolution from bro country to something much more real: the songwriting, the road life, the hunting, the dogs. Chase Rice just gets it. And Chad loves him for it. This episode is presented by Jack Daniel's Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey, and brought to you by Demerbox, LEER toppers, Almost Heaven Saunas, TKO Vitality, Napa Valley, Nashville Palace, Scoreboard Nashville, and ZLINE Appliances

Jimmy went to Vegas for No Doubt at the Sphere, then up to a family cabin in Truckee. The Sphere gets a full breakdown — the way the seats actually rumble, why the general admission floor might be the worst seat in the house, how the venue works as both a concert and a movie at the same time, and the weight-based checkout technology that somehow knew exactly what he grabbed off the shelf. After the show, he wandered through the Venetian into a piano bar and ordered what he describes as the worst Sazerac he’s ever had in his life. From there, Frontier Airlines to Reno, parents pick them up, a cabin at Tahoe Donner, a high ropes course, a run-in with Jason Green at a Truckee street market, Jackbox games, and a bear box — not an actual bear. Tyler took the F-350, Fiona on the trailer, the secretary, and Reed down to Rubicon Springs. The pre-trip wasn’t smooth: Fiona’s AC recharged Thursday, leaked back out by Friday morning, and the roof rack bolts were missing entirely — cue a hardware store bolt-matching tangent that goes deep into Torx bits versus hex heads and why that matters for plastic covers. But the trip itself was exactly what Jimmy needed. Dirty Dozen camp. No cell service. Fiona ran the whole trail without any real drama. What made this episode are the trail encounters. At Tahoma staging, Tyler ran into a Jeep crew that had accidentally over-pressurized and broken their mechanical gauge, which turns into a full explanation of why digital gauges exist and why analog gauge accuracy degrades at the edges of the scale — MorrFlate context makes this land. Then on trail, a Canadian couple stranded since Wednesday with a broken Dana 35, a sheared steering box, and a winch that pulled off the bumper — all in one trip — and this was the wife’s first time ever offroading. Tyler explains the TFS spare parts program at Rubicon Springs (donate your old upgraded parts so they can bail out people exactly like this couple), and it’s one of the better trail culture segments they’ve done in a while. Also on the weekend: Justin Wicks ripping the entire Rubicon on a dirt bike faster than Tyler predicted, Greg Bakken rolling through solo in his two-door JC, Horton showing up to camp, Chris Neely floating down the river with Emma on what was allegedly their first date, a listener named Max welding a diff drain plug using Tyler’s Karnage suitcase welder, and an Australian MorrFlate owner who told his buddies they needed to get one — not knowing he was talking to the actual owner.

Jerry Ratcliffe speaks with University of Cincinnati policing scholar Jesse Huff about her research on police effectiveness, fairness, and evidence-based reform. Huff recounts her path from aspiring military police officer to academic researcher, shaped by graduate work at the University of Nevada, Reno and Arizona State University, where partnerships with police agencies informed her practice-oriented approach. Huff discusses a randomized controlled trial of body-worn cameras in the Phoenix Police Department conducted after Ferguson. The study found cameras altered some policing behaviors but did not reduce use of force, while arrest patterns shifted differently across Black and Hispanic neighborhoods. She argues that successful police–research partnerships depend on feasible study designs, clear communication, timely findings, and mutual understanding between practitioners and researchers. The conversation examines challenges in policing research, including organizational resistance, the complexity of implementing randomized trials, and the importance of process evaluations and logic models. Huff also describes her work evaluating crime gun intelligence centers and NIBIN technologies, including Phoenix's crime gun liaison program, which improved ballistic evidence collection but showed less consistent effects on arrests, case clearance, and crime reduction. Ratcliffe and Huff further discuss Huff's evaluation of a Brazilian jiu-jitsu–based response-to-resistance program developed with the St. Paul Police Department. The training aims to improve officer control tactics while reducing higher levels of force, with especially positive outcomes for women officers. The episode concludes with Huff's ongoing research into police retention strategies in Ohio, emphasizing organizational culture, supervision, and job satisfaction. Throughout the discussion, both stress the importance of building trust between agencies and researchers and aligning policing innovations with outcomes communities value.

This week on Autonomy Signals presented by KPMG Grayson Brulte and Rob Grant discuss Figure AI's first commercial humanoid deployment with Catalyst Brands, Stellantis L2++ partnership with Wayve, and Starship Technologies surpassing 10 million autonomous deliveries.Figure AI recently signed a commercial agreement with Catalyst Brands to deploy humanoid robots at a JCPenney distribution center in Reno, Nevada, integrating Figure's humanoids into Catalyst's Joey Pouch sorting system.As new management at Stellantis looks to turn around the global OEM, the company is pursuing a partnership over build strategy to accelerate their expansion into the L2++ market, with a targeted launch beginning with the Jeep Grand Cherokee.Then there is Starship Technologies, which recently surpassed 10 million autonomous deliveries with 3,000 robots operating across more than 300 locations in eight countries. The company says autonomous delivery is already $3 to $4 cheaper than rider-based models, with a long-term target of $1 per drop, though sustained profitability will require lowering the teleoperator intervention rate to near zero while navigating city-by-city municipal regulation.Episode Chapters00:00 Signal 1: Figure AI Signs Commercial Agreement with Catalyst Brands18:10 Signal 2: Stellantis Partners with Wayve to Deploy L2++ in U.S.41:06 Signal 3: Starship Technologies Surpasses 10 Million Autonomous Deliveries59:13 AUTNMY AIAutonomy Signals is presented by KPMG.--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, and proprietary market intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.

On this episode of The Beacon Way podcast, Adrienne interviews Reno-based CPA and business broker Mike Bosma about his path from studying accounting (originally planning on law) to working at Deloitte and Grant Thornton, then launching his own CPA firm in 2007. Bosma shares how a Reno KOH radio show led to a broader advisory platform that later became a podcast, and discusses selling his CPA firm in 2017, why the acquirer struggled with the firm's consulting-heavy model, and how he reacquired it in 2021 while also building a brokerage practice. He offers guidance on preparing to sell a business: making the founder replaceable, negotiating role clarity before closing, practicing transparency, and keeping accurate accrual-based financials free of personal expenses, along with insights on private equity structures and post-sale transition planning.Mike Bosma – Keystone CPAshttps://keystone.cpa/bosma-on-business/775-786-4900mbosma@keystone.cpa.com

Jimmy Failla is back from Reno and he brought all the heat. The Fox Across America host joins Marc Cox for the most entertaining and brutally honest segment of the morning — and he's not pulling a single punch. Spencer Pratt is running the smartest outsider campaign since Trump, and Jimmy explains exactly why the polls in LA are lying to you about his chances. Then — New York's median one-bedroom apartment just hit $6,500 a month, and Jimmy breaks down the dirty secret of rent control that Zoran Mamdani doesn't want his voters to figure out: it's the reason their rent is so high in the first place. And yes — Mamdani himself lived in a rent-controlled apartment while his rich parents footed the bill. The hypocrisy is breathtaking, the comedy is real, and the Marc Cox Morning Show delivers it all. Charles Payne is up next — don't touch that dial.

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 is a really exciting day. I got the one and only Spiffy Tiffy on the podcast with me and we're here to do a really exciting podcast. Tiff, how you doing over there today? Excited?   Tiff (00:12) Hi, I'm so excited. We have not podcasted in far too long. Like our schedule's just, it's hard. It's weird because we never see each other. So it's super weird. I know.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (00:19) I know, but we did just see each other in person, was   honestly the reason we're podcasting today. But did you miss a little bit? I mean, I had thought during that time where we were testing all the sound forever that we should just bust it out and podcast right then and there. Like, let's just do it.   Tiff (00:38) my gosh. Well, last   year at that same time, we busted it out and we did a podcast on the mountains. So it would have been effective, but instead we had a dance party and karaoke.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (00:43) I know. I know.   We did. And what we're referring to is if you missed summit 2026 with the Dental A Team, you missed out. Tiff and I got together in person, which was a blast. Like I said, Tiff and I used to hang out all the time and Tiff, think like the future life of you and me, that sounds funny. I think that's almost a TV show. I think we need to just like schedule in where we hang out more, not for work. Like I'm coming to Arizona soon. You came out to Reno. We got to just hang out. So, but yeah, we just, were together in person for summit 2026 and   This year's theme and topic was scaling leadership and growing profit in your dental practice. And I think, we just had a good time. what we were alluding to was, ⁓ luckily, I don't think people know, but the day before summit, Tiff and I sat there for what? Eight, nine hours trying to get the cameras and the audio. I have done this. That was summit number six. So Sexy Six is what we did. Tiff, we've done them six together. Like that's a pretty incredible, incredible run.   Tiff (01:37) Yes.   That's wild.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (01:48) but Tiff and I literally sat there. If you saw the reel on Insta, Tiff and I were sitting there doing karaoke. We were dancing. We were doing a talent show like cartwheels, backwards somersaults, handstands, headstands, things that I don't think either of us had done since we were probably like 15. But you know, Tiff, we didn't get to experience that part of life together. So we had to bust that out together. Right.   Tiff (02:08) True. That's fair, that's fair. That was a good assessment,   Kiera Good assessment.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (02:13) Well, it was a really fun time. And I think Tiff, it just reminded me of why I doing this with you. ⁓ I think when we get in person, there's just magic. And so when we put together the summit, I think something people don't really realize is Tiff and I, we don't practice. Like we've got our decks and we've reviewed it, but a lot of the magic just happens because we love helping people. love changing lives. I love watching Tiff in real time do half of my like crazy experiments. Like it's been since the beginning of time that I'm like, all right, Tiff.   I'm not going to tell you in real time, you're going to do this. And I think that that's what makes Summit so special is it's, it's you and me, Tiff, doing it in real time. And the consultants are on the chat, like she definitely carried us quite a bit this year, but we kind of, for those of you who might've missed or those of you who did join, Tiffanie kind of wanted to just do a little highlight reel of some of the key takeaways from Summit that we were able to have. And Tiff, think like probably my favorite part is always the beginning part. ⁓   Tiff (02:54) I'm tired.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (03:09) I mean, it's probably because it's the beginning part. And we talked a lot about how like your business can't outgrow your leadership. And we talked so much about this leadership and Tiff, I know leadership is such a passion for you. within that leadership realm, we talked so much about how like you as a person are the most important piece. And I think a lot of people forget that. And I think that that sometimes like driving home piece of summit that I love to highlight. I know you love to highlight, let's kind of rift on that beginning part, the you part, the leadership part, all of that in that yes success formula that we've.   We talked heavily about at summit this year.   Tiff (03:40) Yeah, and I think, Carrie, you said something there. You said, I love leadership. And immediately, I thought, I do love leadership, but I love leadership because leadership focuses so heavily on the actual person, who they are, how they show up, and how they create the culture that everybody wants to be a part of. So when you say, I love leadership, and then you let it in too, and then them. That's why I love leadership, and that's why I love working with leaders and CEOs. So a CEO dentist and then.   the leaders of the practice, but really those leaders come down to people who are inspired by growth, who are ready to take on the next level and who want to give something back to the world. And for me, inspiring those people, like double, triple, quadruple is the impact that we get to make. So that's why it's so cool to me. And so doing things like Summit where we do, like we do open up with who you are because you are the focus that   is required in order for anything else to work. so, yeah, leadership is a passion because people are a passion and I think both of us feel that way.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (04:47) Absolutely. Like we've said so many times, like life and people are our passion. Dentistry just happens to be the platform where we get to connect with all of you. And Tiff, as you said, that it really made me start thinking about like, what do you spend your time on? And I loved the little, this year we did an hourglass and Tiff, was fun for you to build the hourglass, right? Like where do we actually spend our time? I think it's something where so often as we're running and we're living our lives, we don't take the pause moment to see like,   I can say my family and my health and my business are the most important thing, but when I look at my calendar, when I look at these items, where is it really? And I actually loved the image of an hourglass because ⁓ maybe it was the birthday this year, Tiff, but like there was a moment this year where I was like, I could be halfway done with my life. And so in the hourglass, I feel like it's our time and it's, is it slipping away into the things that we value most? Is it slipping away into the things that we care about the most?   Is it slipping away to where I am, my 90 year old granny with cotton candy pink hair, who's freaking ripped Tiff. There's like another version of her that's come to the forefront. Like I gotta be ripped and like able to move. I can't just be like dead. Like that's been a new element added into this vision at the Villa. ⁓ But like, what is she gonna remember about this time of her life? And what would she wish that she prioritized more? And I think so often we can get stuck in this like the day, the urgent, the chaos. And I love that and Tiff,   This is a fun thing. had you go and build your little sand piece and build your hourglass. What were some of your thoughts like when you did that and doing it in real time and having offices do it in real time with us?   Tiff (06:22) Yeah, I think ⁓ first an hourglass always makes me think of ⁓ Aladdin. I think of Jasmine, right? And so when I think of the hourglass, I think of, yes, like, where am I spending my time and how much time is slipping by? But then I also think of the other side of that, where we're oftentimes consumed by our time. And so I think of Jasmine, like, and I hope everyone here knows the reference that I'm going for here, because I don't have a picture of it.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (06:28) Mm.   Mm.   Yeah, she's like trying to crawl out of that   stand. It's like suffocating her.   Tiff (06:50) Yeah, she's like in the sand   and it's suffocating her, right? So it's like falling on top of her. And that was what I went into that project with that day because I see an hourglass that's just my millennial mind thinks of Jasmine suffocating by the sand. And so for me, I went into it of like, what is suffocating me? Meaning what is taking my time that I'm not intentionally maybe devoting the time to? But I'm like,   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (07:02) .   Tiff (07:17) just letting it, like you said, slip by. And so I went into it with that kind of mind frame and it was really cool. We did it last year too and last year's was a little bit different and last year I forgot to put work on there. This year I did not. It was a fun exercise.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (07:29) It's okay, Tim. It was, I think you had to   block it out. Last year's work was crazy. I think it was like an immediate, like, I need to cut this out of my world, which is fair. And based on the year we lived, I don't blame you. So it felt good that it didn't monopolize. It wasn't home. Like, it's got to just go. We got to, and I don't blame you. It was year for us, for sure.   Tiff (07:40) I agree. It was like an omen.   Yeah,   yeah. But it made it, honestly, it made it intentional. Because no matter what it looks like, no matter how you do this exercise, it brings something to the surface. So last year, it brought that to the surface for me, where I was like, wow, that's wild. Like, why did that happen? Because I didn't intentionally leave it off. I didn't intentionally put it on there. So I don't ever go into it to try to do it right. I go into it to just try to do it.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (08:15) Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.   Tiff (08:15) And especially with your boss standing next to you, like, was like, well, shoot,   cares like you got something to tell me, then tell me. But it was, it brought something to light. And this year felt much calmer doing it. It felt much more ⁓ intentional, I guess, is like the best word I can align. think aligned is my word this year. And so it did feel more aligned and like, there was more intentionality put behind things. And the point of that is wherever you are today is where you are. And being able to see.   where you want to spend time and what your priorities are, is your time spent in alignment with what you say your priorities are? And I love that you always explain, it doesn't mean that it's gonna be equal parts, right? Work, like I work more hours during the day, four and a half days a week, than I do like awake with my family, right? But the...   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (09:11) Mm-hmm.   Tiff (09:12) intentionality behind it of how it's not like to me when I go into that it's not the actual physical hours that I'm spending in those things it's the emotional time I guess the emotional you you know your your what is it that you call it then ROI on your time right are your emotions emotional easy there you go are we thank you I was like is it really that easy emotional ROI that's fine guys so I'm here for it thank you yeah   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (09:23) Mm-hmm.   the emotional ROI, like the ROE, return on emotion. Yeah, I got you girl. Mm-hmm. No, it's ROE, return on emotion, right? You're welcome,   I got you. Yeah, I...   Tiff (09:41) Yeah, so anyways,   that's what it's spun for me. it really highlights a lot, I think, for business owners and for leaders to really see if I'm showing up short, if I'm showing up, you know, chaotic, if I'm showing up calm and like, why, where are my priorities lining and how can I realign?   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (10:00) And Tiff, I love that you said that. And I love like we do, we do a different variation of it. This is something I really like because I feel we don't take that pause moment. Like to me, it's like the, the small space between like taking a breath and releasing a breath. Like there's that small pause. I feel like that small pause is where so much intentionality can happen. so Tiff, thanks for always being my guinea pig. Like it makes it feel like more fun for me because I, I know that Tiff, come into it so real and people that attend summit. So if you don't know about summit Tiff and I do it.   completely virtual. And the reason we've done it virtual, people have asked for years, like, why don't you guys do it in person? And what we found is we want doctors and teams to come together in your office space. Like what is the easiest fastest way for us to rally to impact you? We don't care if your husband or your kids or your wife or your spouse or whomever it is, is with you in that space. Like how fun is it? Like we see families with their kiddos. We see people in their homes. We see   We see you guys living your real lives. And so that's why we've done it virtual. We've done it virtual for six years and it's four hours. It's three and a half hours of CE and it's incredible. It's always the last Friday of April. So you guys can mark your calendars for 2027. I cannot believe that. It'll be the seventh year. I had to remember, I had to remember it's, sorry, it's the second to last Friday. It will be April 23rd next year. But...   Tiff (11:09) I said that earlier.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (11:17) We always do it the same weekend and we purposely do it where it's not the very beginning of the year. It's not the end of the year. It's that like special pause and like, let's look to see. And the whole point this year that we really try to bring in with you, cause like we focus there because I think people want like, what are the systems? What are the tactics? What's the profit? How do I do all these pieces? And we're like, if you pause and look and make sure that where you're putting your ladder and wanting to hang your shingle, is that really where you want your life to be? Because we can be a few degrees off as we're flying our life plane and we can end up in.   Bermuda or we can end up in Antarctica and I've been to both and they're very radically different locations and so it's are you actually headed where you want to go and this year I really brought up ⁓ a Topic that I'm obsessed with and it's like you are the billion dollar asset and if you don't see yourself as a billion dollar asset I think we're looking at our lives wrong and like you are the one who ultimately controls your success and happiness You are the one who has success and failure and you control that in your office   You are the one who controls where you spend your time. No one's forcing you to do anything. Like we are so blessed to live in the country we live in, the places that we live that we get to make these choices. You control the reasons or the results. And I love that line. You control the reasons or the results. You can't have both. And to really just help people see like, I having reasons for my lack of success or my abundance of success? Or am I actually having the results of what I say I truly want? And if I'm saying I want that,   but my actions aren't showing that either I need to change my plan and figure out what I actually want or I need to change my plan to get what I actually want. And so ⁓ one of my favorite lines from all of summit was you must prioritize you first or you will always fail. There is no other way to success. Stop all the excuses, start owning the outcomes. And I think for all of us today listening whether this is a summit recap for you or you're getting the highlight sizzle reel for you.   I hope that today you recognize that you've got to prioritize you first. And it's so easy Tiff, because I feel like I had this epiphany probably before I even met you, I think. I was like, life is so fascinating to me because there's so many things that scream and grab my attention that I feel are so important. But when I take that pause, that breath, half of that doesn't actually matter. And I'm just in the momentum and the slurry and I need to be intentional with how I build my life.   I don't know, maybe I'm going off on a tangent. I know this is something you and I love and I hope for doctors and teams listening today. I hope you can take that pause. I hope you can see that you are the billion dollar asset. I hope you can see like Tiff said, like, are we being suffocated by our time or are we watching our time slip into the areas that we hope it is? Where are we spending our time? We had a bunch of categories of time, but really like stop the excuses or owning the outcomes of what you want because you are ultimately the one who controls all of the success or failure in your life.   Tiff (14:04) Yeah, I agree.   And I think the reason that it's so imperatively important is because then we talk about earnings and then we talk about systems, right? We have our whole model and I can't, you can't talk about earnings, you can, but they're not gonna hit home as much if you don't have like you in alignment or at least reality. I think if you can spread at least reality and just be.   clear on who you are, how you're showing up and how you want to show up, then the earnings come, then those pieces come. So the profitability and all of those pieces that we talk about in our next little highlight reel here, they fall after that because again, like you are the reason that any of this exists. And if you're not in alignment with that, none of the other things are going to happen.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (14:53) 100 % and tiff, it's wild. Do you remember how many times we tried like an alliteration, a little like, what is deadly teams methodology? Remember the SPF one? Like I think that was one of like the funniest ones that like we had some ones and it just landed and locked one day when it was the yes model. Like it's the yes success model and it's you earning systems. And when I first put it together, I thought it was cute and it's crazy because subconsciously we put it in the exact order it needs to go in.   Tiff (15:02) You do?   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (15:20) for to truly be able to say yes to your dream life. Like you've got to focus on you. Then you focus on the earnings and then the systems will be what those two tell us. And it's like to me, the yes, excess are like your three numbers on a combination lock. And I feel like so many people try to be like earnings, Y like you. So it's E Y S like, okay, well that's well eyes like ish like that could be your combination, but you're never going to feel fulfilled. You're not going to be able to say yes. You're going to say eyes or I can be like, well let's do systems and then earnings and then yes.   or like you, well that says say, so are you gonna say, say your life away? Or are gonna say yes to the life you actually want? And it's been fascinating, because I think the more we coach on it, the more we teach it, it was something that came out of, I just thought it was a cute acronym, but the undertone of the subconscious of knowing that you've gotta be prioritized first, then you've gotta do your earnings, and then you gotta do your systems. And so if you're like, let's build systems, and I'm like, well, if you're not profitable, the whole thing's gonna crash down and burn. If you don't take care of you,   the whole thing's gonna crash down and burn. Like it literally is a sequence and an order. like the pinnacle peak of everything that we talk about, everything leads up to a saying like success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure. And I think to everything we talked about at the beginning of this podcast, coming into here, like I think that's my like hill to die on is if we are successful in our marriages, but we're not fulfilled. we're successful in our businesses, but we're not fulfilled. If we're successful like...   That fulfillment piece is joy. That's the happiness. Like that is the juice. That's the squeeze of what we're all working for. But I think we prioritize the success, the money, the earnings, the status, the elite. Like you can have it all, but just make sure you're fulfilled and you're taking care of you. And it's really the life you want to live, not the one you think you should live or the one that you just happen to fall into or the one that the patterns got us into. But you actually own your life rather than just manage it.   Tiff (17:10) I agree. I have been a firm believer that if I'm not taken care of or if I'm not happy, down to the choices that I make in my personal life when it comes to Brodie and his happiness, I have always said, if mom's happy, Brodie's happy. If I'm taken care of, and that's the CEO of our family, if I'm taken care of and I'm a priority, I'm then teaching everyone else to do the same and all those other pieces come into place and for the practice.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (17:30) Mm-hmm.   Tiff (17:39) Every doctor comes in and says, need systems. And we do cover systems. We've a ton of systems in Summit. We cover all of them. But we also are a firm believer, a company that believes that those systems have to be in alignment with your culture, with who you are and what your goals are. So we have systems for everything. But we're going to tailor it and customize it to fit you and your circumstances. And if we're not super clear on who you are, what your goals are, your culture,   We're gonna hit that home real hard first and then figure out your systems, because you have systems and they're working to an extent. We just gotta clean them up a little bit and they're probably a little misaligned with who you are, who you want to be.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (18:23) Exactly. And Tiff, I love that. Like the CEO of the family, the CEO of this, like, and really like, yes, take care of you. Have that. That way you've got a full bucket to come from. So yes, we did go through after that the earnings portions. We talked about overhead, profitability, cashflow, like what are those items? We have a cost spending spreadsheet and you better believe we had an entire stack that people at the end of some were able to access. And it had so many spreadsheets, our overhead calculator,   like what is profitability? What is like true profit? What is cashflow? How do we find those small money links leaks in our practice? So like talking about different ways, like where are the small gaps in your bucket? Where if you just shore those up, there's so like, it is the lowest hanging fruit that are just the aha moments that people are not thinking about. And I love doing it because it's like, ⁓ like that's such a great idea. That was so easy that I didn't even think about. And of course I get like all jazzed on life doing the earnings section because like I   love numbers and numbers of me. Like I live to teach people how to be profitable and how to understand numbers and learning that business acumen knowledge. I feel like it's been another language that if you've watched me even over the years, like both of us growing and evolving and I was the girl who sat in a class that truly was like everyone else has business figured out, but not me. And I think so many dentists and so many owners can relate to that phrase of like, why not a drill a tooth, like PNL, KPI, like what the heck are those?   And to be able to break it down, think one of my favorite, favorite compliments of Dental A Team is like, we are the Dr. Seuss of systems. We make things so simple for people. And I've like hung onto that because if we can make numbers so simple for you, like think Dr. Seuss style, how much easier is it for you to go in and to be confident looking at your numbers, to be a competent CEO that uses those numbers rather than emotion.   to really get to the life and the dream you want. So tip, those are like some of my highlights. Those are some of the fun things. And then of course, you're like rolled right into systems, but I didn't know if there was anything on the earnings section before I roll into like systems, because the sexy systems are always a good time, but anything on earnings you wanted to add to that.   Tiff (20:25) Yeah.   I just wanted to let everybody know like the after summit, the number of text messages and emails and just like messages I know that we all receive, but that I personally received from my own clients that I work one-on-one with it or their attending summit that were like, I know we've heard this before because you guys talk about it all the time, but something hit different today and I'm so excited. Like I had   a call with ⁓ a client actually that morning and he was trying to go through it and he was just confused and he just doing, was like overworking it and overthinking it. And I was able to be like, cool. And then he, he watched it, you know, he, learned it and I made sure he had all the tools he needed in that moment. And he's like, my gosh, I was overcomplicating it. Like the way you do it is so much more simple than I was making it. And that's like, you said that Dr. Seuss, right? But even like that's a system.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (21:15) Nyeh.   Tiff (21:24) So we talk about systems and we're gonna talk about systems, but that in itself is a system really learning how to read your numbers, figure it out and simplify what you're looking at because it doesn't take a doctorate to look at those things. And sometimes we think it does. So we apply our doctorate to it and we overcomplicate it. So I just wanted to make sure everyone knew like the amount of information or the amount of people that are like.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (21:25) Thank   Tiff (21:51) Thank you so much because this was so helpful. And for whatever reason today, I heard it differently. That's why we repeat things too is like how many times have we gone to a convention or listen to the same podcast and we're like, gosh, today I heard it with different ears and I got something else out of it. And that's why we have repeatable systems and why we have those kinds of conversations. Cause something different will come out every time.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (21:53) Yeah.   100 % Tiff. And as you said that, think there's like, there's a quote, I might be tootin' my own horn. I think I actually made this one up. so if I did great, and if I took it from someone, I'm really sorry, and it's actually yours. But it was like, sometimes the greatest form of learning is remembering what we already know. And I think so many times we come to these conferences, we go to these things, it's like, I've already heard that. And it's like, but you haven't, because you are at a different location of where your business is, of where you are, to where it's gonna land differently. And so I agree with you, Tiff.   Systems were fun and we went through like some of our favorites of like case exceptions and block scheduling. But I think what I really loved was we actually like then broke down into like, what is it like to be a CEO dentist and the delegation ladder and like helping people. And then like at the top of the delegation ladder, how we like split leadership into an executive side and an operational management side and helping Dr. C. And we actually did this in our like internal private mastermind group that we work with our clients and so many of the doctors, love that. Like kudos to Tiff. She was one who has the brains behind this topic.   of let's talk about delegation. And when doctors look at their like list of things that they've got going on, when they listed everything off and then they went back and like looked to say, what really can only you do? It was two things. It was vision culture and you might throw profitability on there, like pending upon how your team is, but that's it. And like, tip, I freaking love that epiphany for doctors. I love that epiphany for OMS because when you got like the two halves of a whole like doctors, we need your vision. need that execution. need that culture. And OMS are like, and then give me the to-dos and like, let me GSD over here and to help like,   both of you in the same room, see how this applies to both of you and where your sweet spots are. To me, that was one of my absolute highlights. And then like a leadership evolution where how you evolve through that were truly some of my faves. But Tiff, maybe you had something else, because I know you love that part too.   Tiff (23:56) I agree.   I do. I think it was interesting the way that we laid it all out because we did do systems. We did implementable systems. We always do that you can walk away with. We talked about our 12 systems. We will always deliver those. But the reality of, I think, the biggest part of the systems is what you just said, that delegation ladder, because we have all of these systems. But you're not the only one who can do them, by the way. And you're not the only one.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (24:24) you   Tiff (24:26) You're not the one who has to do them. so learning systems is one thing, but then learning how to foster the systems and like delegate them out and hold someone accountable to doing the system is a fully different kind of system. Like that's why when people come to us and they're like, girl, I just need systems. I'm like, everything is a system. You're just not seeing it from that lens and you're trying to do too much. So what part of the system or what   part of the experience for that patient, do you not have to do 100 % of? If they can do 80 % of it, you can do 20, if they can do 90, you can do 10. Like they make songs about this and we apply it to like romantic relationships, but every interaction we have, every relationship that we have, they work the same. It's a give and a take. And if you're taking more than you're giving and there's never like this back and forth or this equality in the middle,   you're doing them a disservice because they can't grow and you're doing yourself a disservice because you're limiting your own growth. And so when you can see that within the system, see the part that each person plays for those systems and divvy out those responsibilities, that's where the growth is.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (25:41) Exactly. And I think it was just fun because like what Tiff and I do is we talk about like the yes model and then like, how do you actually implement it? And like getting into the nitty gritties of how do you do this? And like Tiff said, like splitting it and how do we actually elevate each other and help each other be our best? And then we talk about winning teams and we pulled in Patrick Lanziani's five dysfunctions of teams and then like the extraordinary success formula and then case studies of like the good leadership and the bad leadership and like things we've seen from consulting like   literally hundreds and thousands of offices. And to me, it's really fun because we like put a pretty bow on it and we wrap it all up and we have this entire awesome stack of like all the spreadsheets and all the pieces. But I think for me, it's a like, all the content every single year is revamped. It's it's built upon it's different ways to present it to you. But what I always hope is like, realizing that the people around you are on the boat to success. And are you going to sit on your own isolated   little island over there, like crying your eyes out because you're lonely. Or are you going to get on the boat to success with like-minded people like you that are going to grow you, that are going to push you, that are going to be a group? like, yeah, there was a surprise. We invited people to our in-person mastermind. And if you're interested in any of these things of like the tech stack or coming into those different pieces or joining us in our masterminds, like please reach out. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com and hey, maybe I'll get lucky. Maybe I'll share a spreadsheet or two. ⁓   Tiff (26:39) You   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (27:07) But more than that, I hope that you decide that you're the billion dollar asset. Let me be around people like this. If you didn't attend summit, put it on your calendar next year. Be sure that you're on that. And then if you're like, gosh, like everything you talked about you and like putting myself first and like helping a vision and relaying that to my team, because what Tiff and I are obsessed about and why we built this company was we got so tired of doctors trying to relate to teams and teams trying to relate to doctors. That's why it's literally called Dental A team. It's dentists and teams and both sides of that coin, bringing that together and helping all of you.   Realize like how we succeed in our own individual roles, how we succeed together, helping doctors take your own incredible life and translate that into a vision your team can rally. What your numbers tell you, what your systems tell you, all of that. And that's something that I really freaking love. And Tiff, summer was just magical. It was a magical time this year. And that's kind of my rap, but I guarantee you got a rap then. I hope people just loved it. I hope they choose to be on the boat to success and not be left on their own Island. You don't have to be alone.   You don't have to be alone in your problems, but it's time to like own it, stop the excuses and either have reasons or have results. You can't have both. That's my wrap Tiff. What's your wrap? Anything you want to add to that?   Tiff (28:14) Yeah, the community piece, just wrapped it. That last piece that you just talked about is the piece that we get the biggest feedback on, if I'm honest with you. Yeah, we are incredible. I'm going to be honest with you. We are a really cool freaking company and we produce some amazing results. I have heard from so many people, from so many other companies that they say, you guys are different because you're actual   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (28:27) We are.   Tiff (28:40) consultants and you're not just trainers, like individual trainers. So I know without a shadow of a doubt that we do it differently. So I can toot that horn all day long because I know that we are really good at what we do. What is incredible to add on top of that, like the sprinkles that are on top of that is that we allow our clients to be this tight knit community. So not only are we working with you one-on-one and producing results for your practice, we're individualizing   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (28:49) Yep.   Tiff (29:09) all of the things that we do for you, but we're allowing you to share that then with other people. Like everyone loves it. Like I've never sat in a room where I felt so welcome and so heard and so seen and so normalized. Like it's not, hey doctor, hey doctor, hey doctor. It's like first name basis. It's you're just a human just like I am. And we can sit here together and we can collaborate. And I think that even on a virtual platform is incredible that we've been able to create that and foster that.   but even more the in-person events and our in-person visits that we go to practices, all of those pieces. And that's my wrap. Like the community is massive.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (29:50) It is. What do we talk about? We talked about like you are the culmination of the top five people that you hang and spend time with. And I've thought like, is it time for me to elevate my friend group and my peer group? That's why I joined Tony Robbins Lions. Like I needed people that were smarter than me. I didn't want to be the smartest one in the room. I want people I could give back to. And I think Tiff, you and I have taken our passion, our love for people, our passion, our love for life.   the things that we've learned throughout life and we're able to turn it into this really fun thing to help dentists freaking succeed and thrive and not just survive. And so this year I thought it was really fun to help doctors and team members elevate their leadership, elevate their profitability. So if you missed it, I'm not gonna lie to you, you freaking missed out. Tiff and I have a good time. We laugh hysterically. It's all live. It's real time. Some of the things we say shock both of us, but hey, it's here for it.   It's engaging with people, even though it's virtual, like we see all your faces. We've done Tony Robbins, like I, we make this thing a whole production. It is lit. So come join us next year. And if you missed out this year and you want to get like, find out more, you want to come join us in September in our in-person mastermind or February, you want to elevate your peer group. You're sick of being stuck. You're sick of being where you've been. You're ready for the next level. Or if you're like, I just want to optimize or like, Hey, I'm drowning. It doesn't matter. That boat is going. Let's get you on it. Come join us. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com book a call.   I will happily love to see you. team would love to see you. Tiff, I love you. I love working with you.

Chad and Alex are back for another Breakin' It Down, and this one's got range. Alex just got back from Cancun for a destination wedding, an all-inclusive, way too much drinking, and a hydrotherapy routine that may or may not have been medically necessary. Chad's got the sauna fired up at home, and they swap recovery war stories. They dive into Moms on the run, almost three decades, $10 million back into Northern Nevada, one salaried employee, and a Sunday stroll on Mother's Day through the Damonte Ranch wetlands. Chad and Alex are fired up about it and it's a cause worth hearing about! Somewhere in the middle, they get into Reno. From the homeless problem, the city permits, the politics, to GNR, Alice in Chains, The Band, Van Halen, Motley Crue, and a band name quiz. It's one of those episodes where you look up and an hour has gone by. We hope you enjoy! This episode is presented by Bedslide, Leer toppers, Oakley Sunglasses, GATR coolers, TKO Vitality, ZLine Appliances, Jack Link's Protien snacks, Napa Valley Olive Oil, and The Provider Culinary
