Some financial strategies aren't bad, they're just wildly oversold to people they were never built for. Joe and OG walk through five genuinely legitimate, sometimes powerful tools, cash value life insurance, municipal bonds, qualified longevity annuity contracts, net unrealized appreciation, and complex charitable trusts, and draw a clear line between the tiny slice of people these actually help and the much larger crowd who gets pitched them anyway. If you've ever had someone offer you a "special" financial strategy and wondered whether it was genius or a sales tactic, this episode gives you the framework to tell the difference.What You'll Walk Away WithWhy cash value life insurance almost never makes sense as a savings vehicle, and the very narrow situations where it actually doesThe real math behind municipal bonds, and why the "tax-free" appeal often costs more in lost growth than it saves in taxesA clear-eyed look at qualified longevity annuity contracts, and why giving up control of your money rarely makes sense at any wealth levelThe single tax strategy on this list that can genuinely save six figures over a lifetime: net unrealized appreciation on employer stockWhy "borrowing against your assets instead of selling them" can be brilliant or disastrous depending entirely on how the economy movesA blunt reality check on 72(t) distributions for early retirees, and why the five-year commitment trips more people up than the strategy itselfWhy "there's no free lunch" is the single question to ask about any complex financial product before you commit to itWhy This Matters NowThe financial industry has an incentive to make simple problems feel complicated, because complicated problems require expensive solutions. Most people's actual financial life doesn't need any of these five strategies, and that's not a failure, it's just math. But knowing what these tools are, who they're actually built for, and what they cost when misapplied means you can spot the difference between a legitimately smart move and a sales pitch dressed up as sophistication, whether or not you'll ever personally need any of them.From the BasementA Good Neighbor Day detour into Ted Williams's legendary 1941 season, when he refused to sit out the final day to protect a rounded-up .400 batting average, becomes a genuinely moving story about doing things the honest way even when nobody would've noticed otherwise.Resources MentionedStacking Benjamins Field Kit — the all-in-one budgeting and net worth tracking toolStacking Benjamins Coaching Program — Joe and OG's new cohort program for financial coachesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to episode 350 of Grow Your Law Firm, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken welcomes back Raquel Gomes from Stafi. Raquel explains how law firms can use offshore staffing successfully by hiring the right people, defining roles clearly, and treating offshore team members as a true part of the firm. The conversation focuses on the common myths and mistakes law firms make when hiring offshore talent. Raquel discusses why client-facing offshore roles can work when candidates are properly vetted, why firms should not hire based on likability alone, and how assessments, onboarding, integration, communication, coaching, and mentoring all affect long-term success. Ken and Raquel also discuss daily huddles, remote culture, AI in intake, and why law firms need to invest in offshore team members the same way they would invest in local employees. What you'll learn in this episode: 1. Why Offshore Staffing Can Work for Client-Facing Roles - Why strong English, communication ability, and role-specific screening matter - How proper vetting can help firms find offshore talent suited for intake and client service 2. Why Role Definition Comes First - Why firms need to define the tasks and responsibilities before hiring - How unclear roles lead to frustration, poor performance, and failed offshore placements 3. How to Hire the Right Person for the Right Role - Why firms should not rely only on interviews or likability - How assessments help evaluate personality, attention to detail, urgency, and role fit 4. Why Onboarding and Integration Matter - Why offshore hires need clear expectations, SOPs, training, and documentation - How including remote team members in meetings, chats, huddles, and culture-building activities increases loyalty and performance 5. Why Ongoing Investment Improves Retention - How coaching, mentoring, and mindset support can reduce turnover - Why law firms should continue developing offshore talent after the initial hire         Resources:  Website: www.stafi.cc LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/raquel-gomesstafi Facebook: facebook.com/GetStafi Instagram: instagram.com/getstafi         Additional Resources:  https://www.pilmma.org/the-mastermind-effect https://www.pilmma.org/resources https://www.pilmma.org/mastermind

How Do You Know If You’re with the Right Person? is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. Are You Looking for Love, or Just Trying Not to Be Alone? How do you know if you're with the right person? Is it chemistry? Attraction? Shared interests? Compatibility? Feeling understood? Or simply finding someone who says they're a Christian? Whether you're single, dating, divorced, considering remarriage, or already married, choosing who you build your life with is one of the biggest relationship decisions you'll ever make. But maybe we've been asking the wrong question. In RIOT Podcast Episode 307, Pete Robertson, Bill Schoneman, and Bob Schoneman explore what the Bible teaches about relationships, dating, marriage, character, conflict, loneliness, and spiritual compatibility. Because sometimes the qualities that initially attract us to someone aren't the qualities that can sustain a healthy relationship. Physical attraction can cause us to overlook character. Loneliness can make attention feel like love. Chemistry can make us ignore warning signs. And sometimes we fall in love not with who someone actually is, but with who we hope they'll eventually become. So how do we discern wisely? Scripture gives us a much deeper framework than simply “follow your heart.” Proverbs 4:23 tells us: “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” Before asking whether someone is the right person, maybe we should ask: What has been shaping my heart and teaching me what to desire? In this episode, we discuss: • How to know if you're with the right person • What Christians should look for in a relationship • Attraction vs. character • Why chemistry alone cannot sustain a relationship • How loneliness can affect relationship decisions • What it really means to be equally yoked • Why simply calling yourself a Christian isn't the same as walking with Jesus • Red flags revealed through conflict • Why you shouldn't date someone's potential • The danger of believing you can change another person • Dating and relationships after divorce • Why waiting can sometimes be wiser than forcing a relationship • What to do when marriage becomes difficult • How pride, control, bitterness, and unforgiveness affect relationships • Why your spouse cannot become your source of identity or security • How abiding in Jesus changes the way we choose, love, forgive, and handle conflict One of the biggest relationship mistakes we can make is expecting another human being to give us what only Jesus can provide. “Make me happy.” “Make me feel secure.” “Make me feel valuable.” “Never disappoint me.” “Always understand me.” No person can carry that weight. When our identity and security come from Jesus, we can begin loving another person without requiring them to become our savior. So maybe the question isn't only: “Am I with the right person?” Maybe we also need to ask: “Am I becoming the right kind of person?” And even deeper: “Who or what is discipling the way I think about relationships?” If you're considering a relationship, look beyond chemistry. Look at the character. Look at fruit. Look at the direction of their life. And turn the mirror around. What is the direction? If you're already married, ordinary conflict doesn't automatically mean you married the wrong person. Instead of spending all your energy trying to change your spouse, perhaps another question is worth asking: “Jesus, who are You calling me to become in this marriage?” The goal isn't finding a flawless person. There isn't one. The goal is learning to walk closely with Jesus and allowing Him to transform the way we choose, love, forgive, handle conflict, and see the person in front of us.

How do you know when a team member is no longer the right fit for your practice? It starts with getting clear on whether the problem is the person, the role, the communication, or the expectations around the work. Dr. Lona and Dr. Rachel Hovey explore how regular team rhythms, clear roles, mission and vision, and honest one-on-one conversations help practice owners address misalignment before it becomes personal. They also challenge owners to look at their own leadership and communication before assuming the employee is the problem. When those structures are in place, difficult conversations become clearer, strong team members have room to grow, and decisions about who stays, who shifts roles, and who moves on can be made around what the practice actually needs.Key Highlights01:03 – The uncomfortable reality of knowing a team member may no longer be the right fit but continuing to let the situation ride.02:11 – What the pause before calling someone an A player may reveal about how clearly the role has actually been defined.03:17 – Why wanting a different outcome in your practice eventually requires looking at the people and behaviors you have been willing to tolerate.04:11 – Separating your feelings about a team member from whether that person still fits the role, mission, and direction of the practice.05:44 – The possibility that a struggling team member may be growing out of a role without either of you recognizing it yet.07:15 – Before deciding someone is the problem, a practical reason to look at your own communication rhythms first.08:20 – When tension with a team member may point to the wrong role rather than the wrong person.09:31 – A bigger question for practice owners about whether the positions they create actually give great people somewhere to grow.11:43 – A simple place to begin when you know a team conversation needs to happen but have been putting it off.13:02 – Why changing the way you ask for team input can uncover ideas you may never hear in an off-the-cuff meeting.18:11 - Dr. Kevin connects with Margaret Rosloniec from Success Partner Fortis to reveal how the right financial infrastructure fuels scalable, sustainable growth for modern practices. They break down how Fortis automates recurring revenue, stabilizes cash flow, and removes front-desk friction so teams stay focused on mission over money. When payments become seamless and reliable, growth stops being limited by systems and starts being driven by vision.

What if you chose the right person…but still don't have a healthy relationship?We spend SO much time learning how to find the right partner.Look for green flags. Avoid red flags.

Before Tim met Ed Chan in 2019, hiring at his firm worked the way it does inmost firms. Someone said "we need more staff," so they threw more bodies at the problem. No structure, no org chart, no way of knowing whether anyone was in the right seat. Then he and Ed spent five hours mapping every person in the firm, strength by strength, weakness by weakness, and placing each one in position.That exercise is what this episode is about. Wize mentor Tim walks through how firm owners can answer two questions that sound like one: is this the right person, and are they in the right seat? The answer applies equally to lastmonth's hire and to the team member you promoted three years ago.You'll learn:✅ Why the capacity planner is where every seat decision has to start✅ How write-offs and productivity numbers expose who is too slow for their role✅ The resource mix problem that keeps work stuck even when capacity looks fine✅ When a client manager genuinely needs a production manager beside them✅ Why two complementary people in the right seats beat one unicorn every time✅ The 3-times rule for telling incompetence apart from inexperience✅ How clear outcomes let you judge any seat within 30 to 60 daysEvery firm owner gets a seat wrong eventually. Tim has, Jamie has, Ed has. The difference is having a system that catches it in weeks and fills that seat with the right person the next time.This is a visual walkthrough, so if you want to see inside the WizeHub as Tim clicks through each section, tune in to the episode on YouTube.________________  PS: Whenever you're ready… here are the fastest 4 ways we can help you fix and grow your accounting firm:   1.

S6:E72 Dating apps give us more choices than we've ever had, so why does finding the right person feel harder? Some people have given up, saying that it is "impossible" to find a mate! Matchmaker April Davis says too many options may actually be part of the problem, encouraging people to filter potential partners by features instead of recognizing the values that sustain a relationship. Indeed, the "paradox of choice" problem. Loralyn Mears, PhD, aka "Dr. LL," brings you thoughtful conversations with entrepreneurs and small business leaders navigating visibility, leadership, and growth. Thank you for being here. This episode takes Small Business Stories somewhere we haven't gone before: relationships. But for entrepreneurs (whose businesses, devices and packed schedules can consume enormous portions of their lives) the conversation about human connection feels especially timely. April describes a dating culture shaped by apps, algorithms, curated images and endless choice. We can specify height, income, occupation and interests as though ordering the perfect product. Yet the qualities that actually determine long-term compatibility may be far harder to put into a search filter. And we can be missing out on people who are actually a terrific match for us, even though they don't meet our height or weight criteria.

One of the most confusing places to stand in a relationship is this: the person you are with is kind, respectful, hardworking, and sincere—yet something inside you keeps whispering that they are not the one. They are a good person. They are simply not the right person for you. This tension shows up often among Christian singles. There are no dramatic red flags. No moral failures. No clear “run” signals. Instead there is a quieter, harder-to-name mismatch. You like them.

My boy asked me .. how do you tell the difference between intensity and actual intimacy (especially in a push/pull dynamic where it's hard to tell the difference)? I share my thoughts on what I feel the difference is and how to identify it. But before I get into that, I play a voice note from a girl who is navigating a similar situation about a guy who communicated his lack of certainty to her, and how she feels guilty for ending it so quickly.

PART 4: SALES OBJECTIONS: TURN CONCERN INTO CLOSED WON DEALS When you master the objection, you win the sale. After delivering a strong pitch, one of the last steps in the sales process is addressing and overcoming sales objections. Sales objections are any reason, concern, hesitation, or excuse that a prospect gives for not buying. The objection is not the end of the sale. It is the moment that decides it. Every deal lives or dies in the few minutes after resistance appears. When a prospect says it is too expensive, they need to think about it, or they are looking at a competitor, the amateur gets defensive, discounts, or retreats. The closer leans in. Objections are buying signals wrapped in fear, uncertainty, and risk. If you cannot confidently control that moment, you cannot scale your income. Mastering objections means staying calm, asking the right questions, uncovering the real concern, and resolving it with certainty and proof. Handle it with precision and you earn trust, authority, and the signature. Handle it poorly and the deal disappears forever. In sales, you either close or you lose. The best closers and highest growth companies know that sales objections are a necessary part of the sales process. Objections are a signal that the prospect needs more information, clarity, or proof before committing. If you know how to overcome sales objections, you can sell anything to anyone. In this section of the book, I've broken down all the top sales objections and scripts into their own chapter: I'm not interested I'm already working with someone It's too expensive Send me more information I'm not the right person I need to talk to my boss I need to think about it I don't have time How much is it? Tell me more Who is this? Call me back later I'm in a meeting Yes, I'm interested Objections aren't roadblocks. They are bridges you cross to win the sale. In this part of the book, I give you all the exact word-for-word scripts, strategies, frameworks, and playbooks to win over 51,036 customers and generate over $250 million in revenue. If you can prepare to overcome sales objections with confidence, you'll drastically increase your close rates and move more prospects from “No” or “Maybe” to “Yes! Where do I sign?”

In the healthcare marketing industry, just when you think you have everything under control, a new change comes along. And, honestly, it's a heavy responsibility for leaders to build a team structure that can withstand the pressures of the ever-evolving healthcare marketing space, but it also keeps things exciting! In this week's episode, our CEO, Jenny Bristow, shares two key concepts from the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) framework that have helped Hedy & Hopp build a solid marketing team that has withstood many industry changes: the accountability chart & the “Right Person, Right Seat” framework.The Accountability Chart: The accountability chart is distinctly different from traditional job titles and organizational charts in that it focuses on the essential functions a team needs to operate efficiently. Start by mapping out core functions, such as content strategy, paid media, analytics, etc., and assigning responsibilities to each “seat.” When developing an accountability chart, it's critical to ignore current personnel to design an ideal structure from scratch, ensuring zero ambiguity regarding who owns each function.The "Right Person, Right Seat" (RPRS) Framework: Once the ideal structure is developed, evaluate current staff through two lenses: Right Person & Right Seat. Right Person assesses whether the individual shares the organization's core values. Right Seat utilizes the “GWC” framework (Get It, Want It, Capacity to Do It) to determine if a person is suited for a particular role. In other words does the person understand the requirements of the role? Are they genuinely excited and motivated to perform the responsibilities of the seat? And do they possess the mental, emotional, and technical capacity to succeed in the position?Separating the person from the problem is vital when restructuring. If a team member lacks the capacity for a specific modern technical role, it does not necessarily mean they must leave the organization; they may simply belong in a different seat.Connect with Jenny:Email: jenny@hedyandhopp.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennybristow/If you enjoyed this episode, we'd love to hear your feedback!

In Hour 4, Willard and Grandi discuss if all the Bay Area Sports Teams are on the same page in terms of the state of their franchise.

There is a version of the marketing leader's job that looks great on a slide deck, and then there is the real thing. In this episode, I wanted to get at the real thing.I sat down with two marketing leaders who are currently in the middle of major company transformations, Erik Johnson, VP of Marketing at Harmony Healthcare IT, and Steffany Whiting, EVP of Marketing at iMethods. We are talking rebrands, ABM programs built from scratch, website overhauls, and bold calls about where to focus and where to pull back. The stakes are real for both of them.What I really wanted to explore was the human side of leading marketing at this level. The doubt. The pressure. The moments of second-guessing when you have convinced leadership to make a big bet, and you start wondering whether you went too far. What came out of this conversation was candid in a way I did not fully anticipate. Erik and Steff talked openly about how they build alignment before launching major initiatives, how they manage the ongoing pressure to show ROI from programs that take time to prove out, and what they do when the inner voice starts asking hard questions. They also went back into their careers to talk about the moments they were genuinely in over their heads, and what those experiences taught them.If you are a healthtech marketing leader carrying the weight of a big program right now, this episode is for you. And honestly, if you are early in your career and wondering what it actually looks like to lead at this level, this is worth your time too.Key Topics Covered“(00:00:00)” - Introduction"(00:01:00)" - What It Really Means to Lead Marketing in Healthtech"(00:03:00)" - Guest Introductions: Steffany Whiting and Erik Johnson"(00:06:00)" - Risk-Taking in a Fast-Moving Environment"(00:08:00)" - iMethods' Bold Call to Step Back from Events in 2026"(00:10:00)" - Building and Sustaining ABM Programs: The Long Game"(00:16:00)" - Why ABM Is Poorly Named (and What It Actually Is)"(00:20:00)" - Leading a Rebrand: Conviction, Expectation-Setting, and Founder Dynamics"(00:23:00)" - The Website Overhaul at iMethods"(00:25:00)" - Moments of Self-Doubt and What Brings You Back"(00:28:00)" - Have You Ever Genuinely Wondered If You Were the Right Person for the Job?"(00:32:00)" - Where Resilience Comes From in Healthcare Marketing"(00:34:00)" - Advice to a Younger Self"(00:39:00)" - Five Key Lessons From the ConversationIf you are interested in discussing this or any other topic, let's have a chat.  Reach out to me directly to schedule a no-obligation discussion.

Core values sound simple until you try to use them to lead a team consistently, especially when things get busy or uncomfortable. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt explains how to turn core values into daily decision-making tools with Heather Crockett, coach at ACT Dental. You'll learn how to make values behavioral and observable, build them into your communication rhythms, and use them as a practical filter for hiring, accountability, and tough leadership calls. Listen to Episode 1049 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Core values only work when they drive daily behavior, not when they're just words on a wall.Values must be actionable and observable so the team can interpret and apply them consistently.“Core values without function” shows up as subjective interpretations, inconsistent culture, and leaders hesitating to hold people accountable.Make each value behavioral by defining what it means, documenting examples of how it shows up, and listing the results when it's alive and well.Operationalize values by embedding them into hiring, onboarding, daily huddles, weekly team meetings, monthly check-ins, and quarterly planning.Use values as the decision-making filter for real-time issues like scheduling, finances, patient care, and team dynamics to reduce decision fatigue.Hire and evaluate people on two criteria: they get results and they fit your core values, using tools like a Right Person, Right Seat scorecard.Snippets:00:00 How to turn core values into daily decision-making tools.02:10 Why core values matter only if they drive behavior.03:10 Why vague values (like “excellence” or “integrity”) don't work as daily tools.04:30 What “core values without function” looks like inside a practice.06:10 How to make values behavioral with definitions, examples, and outcomes.08:00 Using “anti-values” and standout team behaviors to clarify what you want.10:10 Putting core values into systems and communication rhythms.12:10 Using huddles and team meetings for value shout-outs and accountability.18:00 Using core values as a daily decision filter to reduce decision fatigue.22:10 Heather's final takeaways on visibility, systems, and reflection.23:50 BPA tools mentioned: Identifying Core Values, bringing values alive, Right Person Right Seat scorecard.Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Heather Crockett is a Lead Practice Coach who finds joy in not only improving practices but improving the lives of those she coaches as well.

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1919DM You can be wildly compatible with someone and still be wrong for each other. Michael Todd makes it plain. Most people choose partners based on chemistry and pleasure. But pleasure fades. When the money's gone, when life gets hard, when the spark dims, what's left? Purpose is what's left. Or it isn't. He breaks down why so many people keep ending up in the same painful patterns: they haven't spent enough time with themselves to even know where they're going. You can't find someone headed in your direction if you don't know your direction. When two people are truly aligned on purpose, something shifts. They don't just stay together. They make each other better. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, Dr. K shares his most controversial dating advice: stop dating the people you are attracted to. He explains that our "type" is often a biological mistake driven by psychological defense mechanisms, leading us into repetitive and painful relationship patterns. What to expect in this episode: The Myth of Romantic Instinct: Why the brain makes great calculations for survival but often fails miserably when choosing a partner based on "sparks". The Psychology of Projection: How the mind walls off parts of itself—like insecurity or guilt—and seeks out a "vessel" in a romantic partner to hold that energy. The "Nice Guy" Equation: A look at why people who view themselves as "good" are often attracted to "evil" or unavailable partners to house their own suppressed manipulative tendencies. The Fixer's Trap: Why some people are only attracted to "broken" partners and why they may unconsciously sabotage the relationship once that person actually gets healthy. Incels and the Defense of Hopelessness: A deep dive into why some individuals convince themselves they are "pathetic" to protect against the vulnerability of having hope. The "Mean Girls" Model: An analysis of how social groups use a "punching bag" to offload their shared insecurities, a pattern that mirrors toxic romantic dynamics. Integrating the Shadow: Practical steps for identifying the qualities you are attracted to within yourself so you can choose a partner based on actual fit rather than projection.

So it's always fun to dig in and tackle another topic with you.   The Dental A Team (01:48) I agree. I agree and I thank you for that. can say, gosh, Kiera had this awesome idea. Kiera, our CEO and our founder, she does a lot of the podcasts here. If you're new, you'll hear her a ton. She had this amazing idea. Gosh, I should know how old this podcast is, but I do not. I have been here the whole time and I do not know how old it is. That's okay. Years and years ago, Kiera came to me with a great idea and her famous line is, Tiff, I have a great idea.   The Dental A Team (01:51) Peace.   The Dental A Team (02:15) and I remember her coming to me and she's like, we have to do a podcast. And I was like, oh my God, that sounds amazing. I don't know what that means. I don't know how to do it. I assume you'll figure it out. And she did. we, I just have to say this podcast has turned into something that we never imagined that it would turn into. It has reached so many more people than we ever imagined possible. We did the podcast, we decided we wanted to put it out into the world because we really wanted to expand our reach. truly.   wanted to expand the reach that we had within the community that we had, because we only have our handful of people that we can reach. And we said, there's gotta be more and we wanna give the world of dentistry and businesses alike free information. And we love talking. So this is great. We're just gonna do this. And Kristy, it's just been so cool to watch it morph over the years and become just this incredible tool. And I have to say,   I mean, I'm making this number up. I'm just off the top of my head guessing. If I were to pull the ROI on new clients and even just like new inquiries to Dental A Team, at minimum 90 % come from the podcast and or a referral from a current client. And I just, I wanna say thank you to our community first and foremost and to our team.   whether it's consultants or marketing or admin, like we have an incredible team and our community of people who are clients, past, current, future, community of people who are just listeners. You guys are supporting something that's just reaching so many people. We have Canadian clients. We had someone reach out to us from Australia. Like we've got people listening all over the world and it's just really cool. And Kristy, I wanted to take a moment to recognize that because they just...   One, I think it goes along, it aligns with our topic today. And two, I really want to show massive appreciation and respect for everyone involved in reaching a community that you guys don't even realize you're reaching with. Every subscribe, every listen, every download, it creates more motivation within the podcast world. So we show up more the more you guys share and you guys watch, which means you're promoting   more people to see and hear really valuable information. it's just super cool. And Kristy, today we're talking about, well, we're talking about right seat, right person, which we've talked about before. And more importantly, we're talking about how someone in the wrong seat, right, it can ruin the right person. And I say that this is relatable to that statement because Kiera and I love presenting.   The Dental A Team (04:49) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (05:07) Like it's a huge passion of ours to get in front of people and share our experiences, share our knowledge, share what we've been through so that somebody doesn't have to take that same route and we can say, do this instead. Like we are so passionate about it and putting us in that seat has exponentially grown Dental A Team. Eve, we know Eve, we love her. I actually made her do a podcast with me.   And if no one has seen that podcast, you should go watch it, subscribe, give a five star review, give her all the praise and all the fame. is one of our behind the scenes marketing people. She is behind the scenes. Most marketers are behind the scenes. They do not like to be in front of the scenes. And Kristy, could you imagine if we took Eve, who's a behind the scenes gal, she's got a ton of energy, you guys. She is...   The Dental A Team (05:56) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (06:00) a phenomenal human, I love her, I wanna spend every day with her. But making her do the podcast every day, right? It wouldn't work and it would change who she is. Or putting me, and I told you before we started this podcast, I can do billing, I'm great at billing, I hate billing, and it kills my soul. Every second of time that I'm spending entering.   The Dental A Team (06:00) Thank ⁓   Mm-hmm.   The Dental A Team (06:26) an insurance payment and calling on an insurance claim. There are people that were built for it and there are people that were not built for it. And it kills my soul every second I have to spend with it because I want to talk to people. I want to engage and I get stifled. So I say all of that to say, make sure we've got right person, right seat, right people, right seat. So Kristy, what are your thoughts on right people, right seat and all of the information I just decided to throw out everybody?   The Dental A Team (06:52) Yeah,   I could totally envision Eve and you guys, Tiff's right. She's the person you want in the car with you on a long drive because you're going to laugh and laugh. But I guarantee you if we had her in the wrong seat, she would not be making us laugh. We'd be crying for sure. Yeah, for sure. 100%.   The Dental A Team (07:13) Yeah, we would. Yeah, with her. We'd be crying with her.   The Dental A Team (07:19) I think so many times, Tiff, I do see this happen and ⁓ it usually starts with leadership holding them back. They're like, no, they're doing such a great job. I can't move them. I can't put them anywhere else. And truly, like, I understand that from a selfish standpoint, but we're holding back the practice too and that person when we do that. So.   I think if you've been in dentistry or leadership long enough, we've all seen that happen. 100%. Yeah.   The Dental A Team (07:50) for sure, yeah.   And then we wonder too, like gosh, if later on, right, the person leaves or we just, it's not just right anymore. And we often wonder what if I had moved sooner or what did I miss? What did I do wrong? And that's the space of right person, right seat. When the right, when the person, you have the right person, right person I think is easy.   I think you know when you have a right person or not. You're like, this person, I want to be around this person. I want them working with my patients. I want them working with the rest of the team. They help us thrive. That's the right person. Okay, the right person isn't just the person who knows how to collect money from the patients, but then like talks crap about the team behind their back. That's not the right person, right? Like, yeah, cool. She's collecting money from our patients or I've even seen him. This one kind of sucks. This one's hard.   The Dental A Team (08:28) Mm-hmm.   The Dental A Team (08:46) I've even seen it, the patients love her. She's phenomenal and my collections is so clean, but she's really mean to all of my team. And she won't actually do the things I ask her to, but my collections is so clean and my patients would maybe leave if she wasn't here. That one's really hard, but you've got to evaluate your right.   The Dental A Team (08:57) Mm-hmm.   The Dental A Team (09:13) person and is your right person right for something or is your right person right for everything? Right?   The Dental A Team (09:20) Right?   Well, and I think that's why we always start with identifying the role and the seat. I always joke with everybody, the right person, right seat. I almost think it should be right seat, right person, right? In that order instead of the other, because again, there's a lot of great people, truly great, phenomenal people, but they may not fit the characteristics of that seat, so to speak. And Tiff, I would say,   The Dental A Team (09:26) Yes.   Mm-hmm.   Yes.   The Dental A Team (09:48) Truly getting down to finding the right person, right seat is number one, identifying the seat. But also, I tie it back to how often are you meeting with your team to find out what their desires are? What do they like doing? What do they not like doing? Where do they see themselves in the next year? Because so many times you can uncover things that you didn't even know. Like, heaven forbid one time I had a client where literally, I mean,   whoever finds this, but they found a clinical team member that liked making re-care calls. mean, who likes making re-care calls? Everybody's like, it. And if you have that person and they like doing it, why don't you find a way to let them do it? Because they're going to have great results.   The Dental A Team (10:23) haha   Yeah, yeah.   Yeah, yeah, I agree. I've   actually had that before too where a clinical team member, dental assistant is like, I love making re-care calls. And I'm like, great, we're gonna put you in the lab with a phone and you're gonna make so many re-care calls and you're gonna love it. And she's like, yes, cause she just wants to have a piece of that administrative puzzle, right? For whatever reason, we all wanted to be a teacher at some point in our childhood and we love highlighters, we love pens and we want all the paper and we want all the post-its sticky notes.   The Dental A Team (10:51) Thank   The Dental A Team (11:04) give them to them, right? Like, yes, I totally agree. And I agree with the right position. So understanding, I think, what you want out of that position is key because then you're gonna be able to understand the type of person. Now, right person means, right person means they fit your standards, they fit your core values, they fit your why, they fit your team, they fit your goals and your aspirations, and they fit the position. So,   I think the easiest one, it might be just because it's kind of how I operate, the easiest one for me to tag is the billing representative because I can take myself and I've done the positions. I can take myself and I can see it. And I want you guys to hear me. I want you to see me. If you're not driving right now, like watch this, like see who I am and how I'm showing up because that person being stuck behind a computer, head down in spreadsheets and line items and   checks, right? Like that type of a person or like, hey, you owe me money. Like that type of a person might be a different personality that outgoing, like I want to give all my energy to other people. Personality is phenomenal at podcasting, just kidding, but really, it's phenomenal at like, I'd treatment coordinating, right? Or dental assisting. I loved dental assistant. It was my favorite position or   when I was a dental assistant and my office manager said, you know what, she knows all of the patients, she builds a relationship initially, she needs to be at check-in. And I thrived at check-in and I was like, heck yeah. And then all of sudden I'm collecting money at check-in and I'm like, hey guys, let's make your office visit easier. And I'm jumping up and doing limiteds and I'm just coordinating everything from the check-in space because they saw that that could elevate the patient's experience immediately. So was I thriving as an assistant and did I do well? For sure.   but the office manager saw that there was a gap in the relationship that I was filling as an assistant. I had to fill that gap and work double time to get patients back to where we wanted them and then ahead on their patient experience. So I was overcoming the gap that we were seeing at the check-in space by just being double. And it was exhausting. And she saw that. She said, you're doing it, but you're working double. So what if we put you here?   and you do that and we lose that gap. So now we close the gap and your assistants are trained to continue that experience. So that was like both are right seat, but they saw an opportunity where wrong person was in that seat. And that person was more suited for insurance verification. She was shy. She didn't wanna talk to people. She was like, what's your last name? And patients are like, ⁓ hi, I was here yesterday.   You know, and she's like, okay, but she's like stressed. It's like, she's a good person and she suits our team and she helps us thrive, but she's scared, intimidated and overwhelmed at check-in. Can we just move her? We want to keep her. Is there a position suited for that personality? Because what happens is that's the right person, wrong seat. And that's what we're talking about today. How the wrong seat can ruin the right person because she had the personality   The Dental A Team (13:58) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (14:28) and this is just my experience in my office, she had the personality for our team to be successful with her, but we had her in a position that was like, sometimes I just feel like they're like in a bowl, you know, and they put the lid on it, and that's what she, we were just like closing the lid, and she was just getting smaller, and we needed to move her to a space where she could thrive, and also increase our patient experience. So.   The Dental A Team (14:54) Mm-hmm.   The Dental A Team (14:56) Kristy, when you see this with practices, how do you help practices identify, there's not always a move, by the way. There's not always an open position and that's okay too. We have conversations around that. But how do you help offices identify wrong seat? It might even be the right person, but wrong seat. What are some spaces? I know for me, I'm looking at like metrics and are they showing up for work? But how do you help them identify those?   The Dental A Team (15:19) Yeah.   Yeah. Tiff, I always like to go back to the job description and look at those duties first and foremost, look at the duties and see are the duties being taken care of, but then also add in your core values. And those are kind of duties too. We have to live up to those metrics. And if it's not aligning, then take a step back. Were they aligning before and maybe they're not now, right? Meaning maybe we changed them into something that   wrong person. And so we just need to get it realigned, ⁓ truly starting there and then having the conversation. But here's the thing. also think sometimes we're afraid to have those conversations. And again, I always like to say it instead of having it as a hard conversation, seeing it as a caring conversation, because you truly are probably freeing them.   and letting them go be happy if they're not in the right seat. And you're gonna have a lot more respect for each other by having the hard conversation, right? And like you said, identify is there another seat that that person would be suited for. But then, from that, learn from that experience and take a step back to identify how we could have hired this differently so we don't make that same mistake.   The Dental A Team (16:30) Yeah.   Mm-hmm.   Yeah, I love those options. I love that. Yeah, I think some pieces, some spaces that you guys can mull on to know, because I know a lot of doctors are like, I don't know, and I feel like sometimes she's on, sometimes she's off, and it's inconsistent. Inconsistency is a clue, okay? Inconsistency is a massive clue.   The Dental A Team (17:04) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (17:07) It could be a clue to overwhelm as well. I think that's where, know, Kristy, like you said, go back to that job description. So are we satisfying and fulfilling the job description? And then are we satisfying and fulfilling more than the job description? And is that because the job description needs to be updated or is it because we need to   is a good question. So overwhelm, inconsistency, underperformance.   And then I would say another space is gonna be, I guess the inconsistency you can apply to a lot of things. So inconsistency in personality, how she or he is showing up. Inconsistency on showing up, are they coming to work, are they late, are they calling out a lot, are they sick a lot, sickness, illness is a symptom of overwhelm. Are they inconsistent in their results? So maybe their results are that,   our hygiene schedule is full to 90 % for the next two weeks. And it's like sometimes it's on, sometimes it's way off and our whole day fell apart and they did nothing about it. But today our whole day fell apart and they did everything about it. So they're inconsistent there. ⁓ Sadness, snippiness, like you're gonna see it in the personality pretty quickly. That's gonna show up pretty easily. And then realistically you guys, I've really.   I guess this is like my woo-woo side, I'll call it. I really think the universe gives us exactly what we've asked for. If we're not hitting our goals and our metrics, our production isn't working, our collections isn't working, all of those spaces, there's a space that something's not working and it could be someone's in the wrong   The Dental A Team (18:47) I was gonna say too, Tiff, if it's somebody like we talked about Eve, we didn't maybe put a pin in it, but that is normally outgoing and they're withdrawn. That could be a sign too. And truly, like I said, embrace it and have a caring conversation because a lot of times we can find a way to overcome it. And if not, at least you can come up with a plan together that feels right.   to get them to the happiness. And you're gonna have a lot more respect for each other on the other side.   The Dental A Team (19:18) I totally agree. Yeah, and I say that too about ⁓ wrong people. And if they're the wrong person for you, you're the wrong person for them too. And that's okay. In any relationship,   that's my plug. It goes far outside of dentistry.   The Dental A Team (19:30) Yeah, it's so true.   The Dental A Team (19:36) I love that. love that. think action items from here so that you can ensure that   not   doing either of these, we're not ruining someone is what we'll call it, we're not putting people in the wrong seat, is I think following Kristy's lead there is really looking at job descriptions. Are they complete and are they usable? Are the people who are using them, using them correctly? So job descriptions, metrics, get your right person right. Do you know what your right person is and what that needs to look like?   and then do a simple evaluation. Are we hitting the metrics that we're supposed to? Does your team know their metrics   their job description? And do they have the skill set and the capabilities to accomplish them?   The Dental A Team (20:22) I with you, Tiff. And I think too, ⁓ I always am on the space of extreme ownership. So if there's anything that I could have done better in my onboarding of that person, I mean, I go literally to if their job is to answer the phone, do we just say one of your jobs is to answer the phone? Or do we say one of your jobs is to answer the phone and this is how you do it? We hear the smile, we hear, because again, if it's not matching their personality, it gives them the opportunity to say it right now.   So.   The Dental A Team (20:52) Totally   agree.   love it. Take these pieces and run with them. Give us a five star review below. Let us know. I think Kristy, you had   incredible ideas today. Thank you so much. I love the job description. It literally starts there. It starts just like Simon's next says, it starts with Y. Your job description is your Y. Your Y and your what. So go get those together. Follow through with your team. Clear as kind. Okay, clear as kind.   The Dental A Team (21:15) Thanks   The Dental A Team (21:17) And remember, if it's not good for you, it's not good for them either. So let's figure out what's good, let's figure out what's working and what's not working, and nail those suckers in.

Jared is joined by Hinge relationship expert, Logan Ury, to break down some of the biggest dating questions listeners are dealing with right now. They debate whether asking for a voice note before a first date is an innocent preference or a major red flag, and unpack the idea of “digital body language” when someone is great in person but disappears over text. They also dive into the classic “right person, wrong time” debate and the Sex and the City taxi-light theory of commitment.
