Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review       Kiera (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team   listeners. This is Kiera, and today's a lucky day. I'm so excited. I get one of my faves podcasting with me today. I get the one and only Kristy Treasure. If you don't know Kristy, she's one of our dynamite consultants and she just drives offices to success faster than most people I've ever met. She's absolutely dynamite. And today we're gonna be talking about how to have financial conversations with patients. This is right up her alley. Things she's obsessed about talking about. Kristy, welcome to the show. How are you today?   DAT- Kristy (00:26) Good, thank you. Pleasure pleasure to be here.   Kiera (00:29) I love it. Kristy, it's so fun to talk. You love talking all things money, numbers, metrics. Like that's your jam. How did you even get into numbers and metrics, Kristy? Like, walk us through for those of you who don't know Kristy, she was an office manager. She's been like every position in the practice. She grew this exponentially large practice. But for some reason, her niche is numbers. So, Kristy, how did you get into numbers? Like, why are you this like obsessive woman about numbers? How did that like passion and obsession come to be for you?   DAT- Kristy (00:56) It's so funny. I think at one time I actually thought about getting into accounting, but I never did. Yeah. But in the dental world, you know, really   Kiera (01:02) I could see it, I could see it.   DAT- Kristy (01:07) the numbers are really only a measure of how well we're taking care of our patients and getting them healthy. And so from the dental realm, you know, oral wellness is a passion of mine. Maybe I should have been a hygienist too in a different life. But with that being said, the numbers don't lie. And so   Kiera (01:25) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (01:26) the you know, being in OM and practice administration, it it was the guide to let me know if we were winning or not. And so it it's not so much about the number, but where is it trending, you know? And so being able sorry, Kiera, being able   Kiera (01:38) Mm-hmm. How do you no, no   DAT- Kristy (01:42) to give that back and have teams know where they stand too, I think is hugely important.   Kiera (01:49) So, how do you get teams on board with this? Like that was gonna be my follow-up when I was about to cut you off. Sorry on that. Like, I agree with you. It's ch it's shell, but how do you get your teams on board? Cause I think this is a common piece and a common like fear of offices is they don't want to tell their teams. They don't want their teams to talk about numbers. Doctors are afraid if teams look at numbers and they're gonna think they want to buy a new boat, which I'm like, go for it, buy the boat, like live your life. But how do you get teams on board to look at these numbers and doctors not to be afraid to share numbers with their with their teams?   DAT- Kristy (02:18) Yeah. I think first and foremost we start out by talking about why did we all get into dentistry? Because usually it's about caring for our patients. And Kiera, I think there's also a misunderstanding that just because a practice may be collecting six million dollars doesn't mean the practice is financially healthy. And so when teams understand there's numbers inside the practice and numbers outside of the practice, I think it helps them   understand and just like they have to manage their finances, you know, what's in the bank? How am I gonna pay my mortgage? Like getting them on board to understand that helps them also drive for the success. And I don't know, you've been in dentistry a long time too. And I truly haven't met a doctor that isn't willing to give back when the practice   Kiera (03:05) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (03:05) is profitable. So typically, you know, when teams are on board and we're rowing in the same direction for a goal, it's a win win.   Kiera (03:14) Yeah. I hope the doctors heard that. I hope the teams heard that of it is a win-win. It's a good way for us all to get aligned and be on the same page with each other. And like doctors, it is a business at the end of the day. And having a practice and having the numbers tell you, I love numbers because I feel like they're the non-emotional facts of the business. They're able to tell us, are we winning? Are we losing? It's just like a scoreboard in sports. Like it's up on the board. We know if that team is winning or if they're not winning.   and for us not to have like visibility into our business to know are we on track, are we off track? To me feels like what do we do when we're flying blind? Like I can't imagine a sports team like playing against each other and there's no score up on the board. It's just like hoops versus hoops. Like that's fun for a while, but the drive and the like, how do I protect my craft and how do I become a better player? And how do I know if we're actually playing as a team or we're just out here all open? Like those are the ways that you can actually see if you're winning or not. So   Kristy,   I'm gonna pivot us now to financial conversations with patients because it's all things money. We just gave you guys some tips on how you can talk to your teams about this, teams why you need to look at the numbers, how it is a scoreboard of the success of your practice. They don't lie. Every number tells a story, every number t ties to a system of what is broken, what can we improve, how can we improve it? It actually makes like your job easier as a team member because then we're not trying to solve the whole practice. We're just refining based on what the numbers are telling us.   So now pivoting that to patients, I think so many treatment coordinators, doctors, hygienists, like everyone in the practice is so scared to talk money with patients. So Kristy, like let's dig into that. How can people like what is that? Why are people afraid of this? Any tips on how we can have these financial conversations with patients?   DAT- Kristy (04:56) Yeah. I think first and foremost is understanding that, you know, we're in it to get patients healthy. And we   Kiera (05:04) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (05:04) all understand that if there's active infection going on, it's not gonna get any better than it is today. And so   Kiera (05:12) Right.   DAT- Kristy (05:13) coming from the you know, reframing our brains and coming from the space of taking us back to why we got into dentistry and caring for people, their oral health   equates to their overall health. And if we can get them healthy as quickly as possible, all the better. But I also like to tell my teams, we play the healthcare advocate, but it's always in the patient's hands. So when we can put it back to the patients and say, you know, I'm here for you. And truly this is your journey. You get to be in the driver's seat. And we're going to do this in your timeframe.   And within your budget. It takes that pressure off and it really makes it a relational thing. And we can be the guide to getting them healthy.   Kiera (06:03) That's amazing. And I think Kristy, as you said that, like it's just a reframe, right? Like I think we have the reframe right now. Like you you're telling yourself a story. You're telling yourself a story of, like people have to pay money and it's uncomfortable and they w but there's also another story of we're doing this amazing service and they're paying for a great service, just like Kristy. You used to cut hair. Like people, you give a good haircut, people want to pay you for a great and they even tip you.   Like no one has tipped me in my career for not sucking up their uvula. I would love to have a tip jar. Like you're welcome patients. I didn't suction that up. but like they want to, they want to pay for a service. And I think in dentistry we get kind of weird because like we are in healthcare and when we go to the doctor, but like never once have I ever gone to the doctor and been like, I'm just not gonna pay for it. Like, I know I have a copay, I know I have this.   And so I think for us to reframe it of we've done great dentistry, we've done a great service. People naturally know, like when I go to the grocery store, I buy groceries. When I get my haircut, I pay for my haircut. When I go to the dentist, I pay for my cleaning. I pay for my my care. Like that's what I pay for. And so I I love that you talk about Kristy of like this is just why we're even in dentistry. We did this to get patients back to health. We're here to serve.   I think that there's this space of having confidence in who you are and not being afraid of asking for money. Like it's okay. You did great work. You brought them back to health. Like you did something amazing for them. They are more than happy. It's the gift of reciprocity. And that worked so hard for me. But when we've done something good, people naturally, as a byproduct, want to pay for it. and so helping us, like you said, let's just do a reframe. Like, what if for the next week everybody in our practice just thought like every patient wants to pay us?   Like I promise you, it will be that you've just like activated that and you'll start to see more patients want to pay you. More patients are not having financial conversations of issues with you. It's not a conversation, like they're not rejecting you. They just want like they're just asking questions. And I think we often take those questions as rejection rather like it's confrontation rather than just conversations.   DAT- Kristy (08:11) Yeah, I love that you say that, Kiera. And I tell teams every day, number one, when you take a step back and figure out why are they here, because we all know every single patient walks in and what do they say? I hate coming to the dentist. And I'm thinking to myself, there is nobody standing outside this door with, you know, holding a gun to you saying, You have to go to the dentist. So they're   Kiera (08:32) Mm.   DAT- Kristy (08:33) here for a reason and we just need to figure out what that reason is. People's motivation can be different, you know.   We talk about wellness, longevity, cosmetic, right? And the last one on that list that we tend to shy away from is the cost. But every   Kiera (08:47) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (08:50) day I tell my teams, it truly doesn't matter if it's 6,000 or 60,000. I know I maybe exaggerated that a little bit, but it's about fitting it in their budget and finding them away. So when you take that pressure off yourself and realize we're tying it back to what they really walked in the door for.   and help them again as that guide to getting what they want. Truly the money is just about finding a way to fit it in their budget. And if we have the tools in our tool belt to do that, it makes it so easy.   Kiera (09:23) Mm-hmm. Well, and like you said, Kristy, it's it's just finding the solution, right? Everything we want in life, we figure it out. We find a way. Like people want to buy a car, so what do they do? They figure out how to pay for it. It's just tying it back to something that they want, need, and deserve. I will throw that like and deserve. I think so many patients don't feel like they deserve, they deserve to have a healthy mouth. They deserve to get this beautiful smile back. And I think actually like   Our   mouths are slightly hidden and they can be hidden. Like you can keep your mouth more closed. You don't have to smile in photos. but the confidence that you have to be able to be unapologetically smiley and to have confidence in your teeth and your smile and your breath and your health and all of that is a gift that I don't think that we realize because in dentistry we just do this day in, day out. but I was the girl who had my smile completely obliterated by someone in my life, and I didn't have that confidence anymore.   And I know what it feels like to be able to speak with confidence and to have my smile perfect and to speak where you don't feel as confident. And I will say that people might give you the push of finance at the top. And I just want to say, like, whenever, like to me, I don't know how you feel, Kristy. To me, objections are just a way for me, like, I haven't educated them enough. And there's just a question. That's all an objection is, is it's just a a a question packaged in a different way. So someone's like, it's cost. I'm like, fantastic. Let's talk about that.   Like, why am I taking this as you don't like me? Like we can make this up all day long, but instead it's just them giving me information. My job is to find the solution with them. There's always a solution. Let's talk about it. And I will promise you, every single one of you listening, and Kristy, you know this just as well as I do, it will never be cheaper or more predictable than it is today. So if it is cost, high five is the best day of your life because we get to make it like the most cost effective we possibly can.   We wait longer in dentistry, it just gets more expensive. That's how it works, that's how it operates. And also, like we lose our options and our our choice the longer we wait. And so let's take care of it now. Let's get it taken care of. And really, like you said, Kristy, they're here at the dentist. Like they chose to come. There's a reason they're here. So I think for us, like, I feel like thinking about cost as an objection is just a pair of sunglasses of a filter you choose to put on. And I'm like, what if I put on the filter of   Every patient wants to say yes to me today. What if I put on the filter of everyone's here and they want to get something done today? What if I put on the filter of everybody has like finances? I'm gonna help them find the way to make this like fit within their budget. I feel we get to choose these pairs of sunglasses, aka filters every day when we walk into the office. And for a lot of you, you might be picking up this like, people don't like insurance, people have this. Like, you're choosing to put on the black sunglasses, the dark gray sunglasses, the brown sunglasses.   Well, there's a whole other pair of sunglasses of yellow and green and pink and purple that are brighter, that are lighter, that are also available for you. And I don't think that that's just like Mary Poppins over here skipping through life. I know it's an actual fact because treatment planning and presenting and talking about finances is 80% the what you think about, 20% skill. It's not   DAT- Kristy (12:31) Yeah.   Kiera (12:31) the reverse. And I think so many people think it's 80% skill, 20% like how you think.   Kristy, break that down. Do you agree with that? 'Cause I do, but that could be Kiera's like la la land over here that I live in.   DAT- Kristy (12:41) Yeah, no, I 1000% agree with you. I'm I'm gonna age myself a little bit here, Kiera, because I remember when I first got into dentistry, crowns were three hundred and eighty-five dollars at the office hours. And yeah, I mean yeah, a hundred percent, right? But   Kiera (12:51) my gosh. It's okay. How much were haircuts, Kristy?   DAT- Kristy (12:59) with that, you know, the same patients that today when you say fifteen hundred dollars for a crown, they said the same thing back then. It's so expensive.   Kiera (13:08) Yep.   DAT- Kristy (13:09) And you said something earlier.   My favorite comeback is you are worth it. You are   Kiera (13:14) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (13:15) worth it. I I literally maybe only had one person ever tell me, No, I'm not. I'm gonna die tomorrow. But I said, But you're gonna die with a healthy smile, right? And you know, truly people will go spend three thousand dollars on a couch and not bad an eye. So   Kiera (13:29) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (13:30) when you turn it about them and what they really came in for, what they want, and find that solution to get them.   It it's just a win win and it's so rewarding as a treatment coordinator to have that relationship with the patient because once you do it one time, they come back to you, they look for you, they know your name, they know you're gonna help them get what what they want in the end.   Kiera (13:54) Mm-hmm. You're exactly right. And I think Kristy, like so many people don't realize that they're worth it. And like you said, like people are willing to shell out money left and right. Like it's wild. I don't know if people have seen the memes, they or the reels. They make me giggle when it's like the patient who's asking for the discount and they're driving like all these amazing, like beautiful cars, huge house. And I like to me that just like that cracks the code of our limiting beliefs.   Their beliefs   DAT- Kristy (14:19) Yeah.   Kiera (14:20) that we've chosen to pick up. Like I feel like they're pebbles in my pocket, their beliefs in my pocket. What beliefs am I putting in? Because it's a lot of times like I'm I'm projecting, I'm putting my own assumptions on other people when that's not real. I have a friend going through a pretty severe medical situation and we were talking about it. And one of our other friends was just like a hot mess express. And my friend was like who's going through the actual medical issue, she's like, That friend's projecting on me. Like   I actually don't feel any of that. But that friend saying, like, I'm sure you're so scared, or I'm sure you're so this or that. And she's like, I'm none of those, but she's projecting on me. And I think going into our financial pieces, how many times are we projecting our own limiting beliefs? Like you might think that Starbucks is expensive, but for someone, Starbucks is just part of their daily budget. Like that's that's that's just it's like brushing our teeth. They don't even bat an eye at it. Like you said, they're willing to drop money on a couch, they're willing to do this. It's the value of what people value. And so   For me, it'd be another question of how can you create more value of dentistry? I will tell you as a girl who's had her smile be available and not available, it is one of the greatest gifts you can ever give a patient. And maybe that's why I'm so like passionate about this topic, is because I'm like, I know what that feels like to not feel confident, to not feel like your smile is your own, to not feel comfortable talking to people, to not like I'm modeled for half of my life. Like, you want to believe like.   I I very uncomfortable in my own skin. And so to have that taken away and stripped away is something that I feel we don't if you've never had that taken away from you, you don't even know the gift you're able to give somebody, but I do. And so it's like, let's give that value of the health, like whatever it is. For some people, it's health. For some people, it's guys, I want to look really good in my coffin. Like I'm not gonna lie to you. I am such a vain human. Like I want my teeth to be pretty. I want to look gorgeous. I'd be your 90-year-old, like getting like veneers, braces.   Please don't limit that because you wouldn't pay for it. Like, if that's not your job, but your job is to present it to me. Your job is to find solutions with me. And your job is to help me see the value and what this is. And like Kristy said, to show me that I'm worth it, that I'm deserving of that. And that I agree, Kristy, is the best comeback. Like, no person is going to deny that. And that's probably one of the few places that they've heard that they're worth this treatment. And I also just want to break down like such a limiting belief.   Dentistry, we think is so expensive. Like when you said $1,500, I'm do you want to know how much it is to get Scorpion anti-venom serum? Like that stuff is like, I think it's $10,000 a teeny tiny vial. And you have to have three of those minimum. That's $30,000. That's expensive. Like, let's please put into like the scale of expense. Like medical   DAT- Kristy (17:01) Mm-hmm.   Kiera (17:01) bills are very expensive. $1,500 for a crown that's gonna last you for the next, I don't know, five, 10, 15 years.   That is a very low cost to be able to eat great subsidence for our body. Like, so again, please just please just also put that out there. There's financing options. You can do care credit. You can have other things. Please don't give them a smorgasborg. Like less is more. Let's make decisions very easy for them. Like, are we doing personal savings or do we want to talk financing options? Like, don't project and dump on them. Like let them choose from what it is. Perfect. Let's talk through this. Let's see where we're at. Let's come up with solutions that way you can afford this.   But I'm not going to project that onto them. I'm going to make them ask the questions. And I'm going to assume that they freaking just want dentistry done. Like, why not assume that? Like, I know this sounds so silly and Kristy and I are having a good giggle over here. But Kristy, I really think it's that black and white. Like you said, no one forces person to come to the dentist. They're at the dentist. They clearly want something done. Let's just find the solution to help them get it done. And to be confident and to assume they want to do that, finding the solutions, building the value, teaching them that they are worth it.   And   then putting on those sunglasses of those filters of that you're able you're able to get the dentistry done and let's just find the solution together. Those are my thoughts, Kristy. What are yours? I know this is my rant.   DAT- Kristy (18:17) Yeah, I agree with you, Kiera.   Yeah. I 100% agree with you. And I also challenge people to start at the comprehensive level. Cause many times we tap our patients out. We we say, we're gonna scare them with the number. We don't wanna like show everything up front. And we'll just find a financial solution for this first phase. Sometimes you tap them out and they never come back for the rest. So again, if we put our advocate hat on and we go with the intent, like   purely in our heart. Our intent is to get you healthy and well. If you start at the hole, you can always go backward, but it's really hard to start with one tooth or one procedure and then go up comprehensively. I'll never forget, Kiera, the day I had a elderly lady come up and tell me about her fixed budget. I'm sure we've all heard those, right? And she had to have four   Kiera (19:07) Yes.   DAT- Kristy (19:09) crowns, one in every quadrant. And I was like, boy, how am I gonna fit this in $200 a month?   And you know, in the long run, I would have been better to find a solution to fix all four than to just start with the broken one. Because literally one month later, after we found the solution for the one, all I was doing was eating bread. Kristy and I was like, gosh, what am I gonna do? It's gonna be another payment,   Kiera (19:31) Mm.   DAT- Kristy (19:34) you know? So I also challenge people start at the hole and work backward. Cause again   As a advocate, our job is to help them get healthy. And if we can do it quicker, why would we not? You know, then   Kiera (19:49) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (19:49) then we've achieved and I always like to use a litmus test. What's best for the practice, best for the patient? If you can answer   Kiera (19:55) Mm-hmm. I agree.   DAT- Kristy (19:56) yes to that, we've done well.   Kiera (19:58) Mm-hmm. And I think people often get a little funny on that. And they think, like, if it's best for the practice, then it's not best for the patient. And I'm like, no, there is a world where it's both. It's an and, not an or. It's best for both of us. It's best for each other. And I just I agree with you, Kristy. I throw this out of I do believe it's our moral obligation to tell patients really what's going on, not what we think   DAT- Kristy (20:20) Mm-hmm.   Kiera (20:20) they want to hear. Like I would be so angry, and I am still angry. Do you know how many hygienists never offered me fluoride?   Like I'm still angry about it to this day because I'm like, that's the most proactive preventative thing that I can ever do for my mouth. And you chose because you didn't think I'd want it or you was afraid to talk money to me, that you never offered it to me. Like, how many other times do we just not offer to people that we don't tell them what's really going on? Like you said, give them the comprehensive plan. Now, with that said, dentists, when you're doing a comprehensive plan, please don't   Don't talk so many words that they get lost. And there's there's an art of being comprehensive and using it in patient jargon that they can understand. So being very clear of perfect, here's everything going on. Your next visit's going to be this. This is when I want to see you back. Like this is the whole plan for treatment coordinators. Here's the whole plan. We're going to start with phase one. We're going to schedule out phase one, phase two, phase three, phase four. Like, let's make it very simple for them. Please don't get into the like.   All right, we're gonna do like seven crowns and it's gonna take 17 hours. Like they they don't need to know all that. They just need to know like where do we start? What's what does what does complete look like? also when they know about what the total is going to be, but also that we're able to break it down if they need to. Like, let's break it down. We're we're gonna do this in chunks. I do the same thing with implants, like our implants are 25, 70 grand. Like we have an office that does 150,000 per like full mouth, so it's 75,000 per arch.   some of you might be listening, like, my gosh, like, yes, guys, this is real. Like they really can do this. And they really do. And they have several patients that say yes to them. Again, I think it's your value. I think it's your confidence. I want people to realize they're buying your confidence. So you being confident in your treatment planning where you're doing it out of moral obligation and what's ultimately best for the patient. Patients trust, they believe, and they know you're genuine. That's how this doctor's able to charge 75 grand per arch for doing it.   He's a phenomenal dentist. Like I would trust him too. I'd pay for him over several others that are much cheaper than him. People, there are some that want to go for the cheapest. but I think that most people, when they look at their mouths, they recognize that it is an investment. They recognize that it is a and I think if you can present it that way and you can show them that this is long term preventative for you and it's long term care for you. I think people are able to see that. It's much better than even like your couch analogy. Couches like wear out.   And you have to replace them. Your teeth do   DAT- Kristy (22:42) Sure.   Kiera (22:43) wear out, but they have a lot longer lifespan on them than others. So, Kristy, I think it's a brilliant way to talk about comprehensive as well.   DAT- Kristy (22:50) thank you. And you know, true truly, Kiera, it it is an investment in their health. And I hope that and I challenge people to even speak that way, you know, use use power words instead of out of pocket. And I always share with my teams, like I literally see a guy with his pocket hanging out. Like   Kiera (23:07) Right.   DAT- Kristy (23:08) you're sending a negative connotation. Say, you know, and and the total is this.   Kiera (23:14) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (23:15) It's an investment into your health, you know.   Kiera (23:17) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (23:18) And   I'm here to find a solution with you. So I I love it. It it definitely is a passion. And like I said, when you can meet the patient where they are, find what they want and tie it back, it's always a win. I was gonna share with you when you were talking earlier, you and people don't forget about the cosmetic things, just like the fluoride. I'm with you, Kiera. I don't have a problem with decay, but if they don't offer me, I'm not coming back because I feel like you haven't really treated me, you know. But I was   Kiera (23:46) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (23:47) gonna share.   My mother-in-law, she was playing cards and she had always come to the office that I worked at. And and one day she left and came back for the hygienist because she loved the hygienist. And doctor comes in my office like, and I'm like, What? You never offered, you never asked her. She had this bright, sparkly front bridge, and nobody ever stopped, even when they got her healthy, to say, Hey, what you're doing at home's great. Now's the time to ask.   Is there anything you'd like to change about the shape, size, and color for your teeth? So going back to what you said, it's our job to share the possibilities. And again, it takes the pressure off of us because the patient's always in the driver's seat. They get to say   Kiera (24:30) Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (24:30) yes or no. And it's okay.   Kiera (24:32) Mm-hmm. Kristy, I love that. I love that it's why are we not sharing more? I think people are so afraid that you're going to overwhelm. And I'm like, whatever you think is what people will feel. So if you think you're   DAT- Kristy (24:43) Mm-hmm.   Kiera (24:44) going to overwhelm them, you're going to overwhelm them. If you think you're pushing on them, you're going to. There is another pair of sunglasses, aka filter, if you want to. Like Kristy said, like, give them the options. Do you know how many people I wish would just fix my lateral for me? Like now, all of you are going to look at it. Don't worry. I'm taking contributions. You want to like.   Fix my ortho for me. I will happily be your patient. No one talks to me about it. Cause they assume Kiera's teeth are beautiful. She works in dentistry. I do love my teeth, but I would love to just do a slight correction on that, but no one asks. And so again, like talking to them about possibilities, just letting them know like patients in the driver's seat, they don't have to, but if they never know what it is, right? To me, it's almost like dreams and goals and and big ideas.   The reason we achieve things is because we've seen them from someone else. We've seen that someone has the house or the car or the life or the kids or the nanny or the healthy fitness or the whatever it is. We've all seen somebody that has it and therefore we want to achieve it. If we don't even know it exists and we don't know it's a possibility, guess what? They'll be talking to their friends and then they come back and they're like, Dr. Johns did my like whole mouth. And you're like, Well, we do that too. You didn't choose to share. So when it comes to finances, when it comes to talking these things, I think my whole overarching thing is like,   Let's put on the filters and assume the best. Let's share with people. Kristy, it was absolutely a fantastic podcast. There were so many nuggets in here. Kristy, you're so easy for me to podcast with because you and I just have so much passion for it. So we just rally. But Kristy, I just want to say thank you for sharing your perspectives. And I hope everybody picks up one or two nuggets, one or two perspectives, one or two beliefs, and you implement today. You can sit here all day long. You might have heard this before, but you can pick up one of these tools, try it out today, try it on for size, like get a little uncomfortable in the in the new realm.   And try it out because I promise you, those patients need you, they're coming to you, they trust you, and you have a moral obligation to help and serve them. Kristy, any last thoughts as we wrap up today?   DAT- Kristy (26:35) No, the only thing I say is please share your wins. We want to hear your stories.   Kiera (26:39) Absolutely.   Reach out Hello@TheDentalATeam.com if you need help getting your team on board. Kristy's a freaking dynamite, amazing at doing this. Our consulting team is absolutely incredible. So reach out Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. As always, thank you, Kristy. Thank you all. Thanks for listening. And I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.  

The new believers had been taught both Good News and bad news. The result, even after 25 years, was encouraging and discouraging. Eve had been blamed as a Temptress. Adam had been elevated as a ruler. Village women were treated no better than the barnyard goats! This is why the Tru316 Foundation works to correct the bad news believed and taught by so many. When we look at the Hebrew and Greek texts underlying our beliefs we can true up our theology to match what the text actually says! Is this helpful? Yes! Is it vital? Absolutely! Please join with us at Tru316.com/partner. The Tru316 Foundation (www.Tru316.com) is the home of The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming where we “true” the verse of Genesis 3:16. The Tru316 Message is that “God didn't curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way.” Once Genesis 3:16 is made clear the other passages on women and men become clear too. You are encouraged to access the episodes of Seasons 1-11 of The Eden Podcast for teaching on the seven key passages on women and men. Are you a reader?

Brad Gillis Recalls the Bizarre Scorpion Incident With ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons On this episode of Talking Guitars on Johnny Beane TV, we dive into one of the strangest backstage stories from Night Ranger's early days on the road with ZZ Top. After briefly joining Ozzy Osbourne's band following the tragic death of Randy Rhoads, guitarist Brad Gillis returned to Night Ranger and immediately found himself touring with some of rock's biggest names, including KISS and ZZ Top. Gillis remembers how warmly both legendary bands treated Night Ranger—but one ZZ Top tour produced an unforgettable backstage incident involving bassist Jack Blades and a tiny scorpion.

L'Horoscope du Mardi 18 Août

This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; we have Damian (aka Truly_Truly_Truly_Outrageous); Rocking back into the Studio to assist us with a 'Musical Spin' on our Regular Segment: The Team! This round we are covering the JEM Universe; so we are switching out the topic from a 'Special Forces Team'; to a 'Truly Outrageous Rock Group!' The Band! So in this case, we are picking a: Vocalist, Guitarist, Keyboard or Drummer, as well as a Wild-Card addition. Then Damian with his incredible passion & knowledge, gets to select not only the Band Manager for this Universal Group; but also an ideal Venue / Arena for them to play at! This was genuinely a lot of fun to discuss!! Then we chat towards the Latest Marvel film that is: Spiderman - Brand New Day. It's killing the box-office right now; so we go into full spoiler discussion & try to decipher that end credit scene too?!?! Rounding out the ep; we reveal our upcoming "Best Cartoon Intro Tournament". Frank breaks down the initial ladder, (subject to adjustment); & potentially what to expect over future eps! All this & more! Enjoy!! Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Kevin has lost his voice, so in his place we welcome a very special honk-based replacement guest who may or may not be an actual honk-girl (spoiler: it's Amelia Marino, Doughboys associate producer, professional poop-reviewer, and reluctant TikTok comment-section warlord). We cover the essentials: why air conditioner repairmen are secretly all undercover conservatives who gaslight you about humidity, the deep lore of curly hair maintenance, and a heartfelt tribute to Mr. Biao, the TikTok legend who dries wet things and wets dry things for reasons no one can fully explain. We also get a rare and vulnerable look behind the curtain of Amelia's ongoing identity crisis: she's tired of being known for her poop-adjacent humor and wants a full image rebrand. So we workshop options like Amelia Bedelia, Ameals on Wheels, and Salvation Armelia, none of which fully escape the poop of it all. Along the way: a surprisingly deep dive into the emotional economics of being a Doughboys PA, a mutual confession of unclockable improv-anxiety, a very good "Scorpion Tales" podcast pitch involving Amelia's dad, and a rousing round of "What's Kevin's Deal" that gets solved almost immediately, threatening the very structure of the segment itself. Also: bug reviews, marine biology dreams, thrifted Brooks Brothers sweater vests, and a passionate defense of humidity as a personality trait. This week's focus is mental health, chronic illness, honking, and the eternal question of whether you can ever truly rebrand away from diarrhea-heavy content. Learn more about your ad choices.

Message Dan and MikeWe finally sit down to unpack Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the fourth installment in Tom Holland's run as Peter Parker and the first Spidey film from director Destin Daniel Cretton. Picking up four years after No Way Home's spell erased Peter from the world's memory, this is a noticeably darker, more isolated take on the character — Aunt May is gone, his friendships with MJ and Ned are gone, and the arachnid side of his DNA is starting to take over. We dig into how that trauma-driven tone works, and where it doesn't.One of us walks away calling this the weakest of the Tom Holland Spider-Man films, and we're honest about why: a story that feels overcrowded with characters, some shaky CGI work on the Scorpion, and a villain problem that never quite resolves who we're actually supposed to be rooting against. We also talk through the returning cast — Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Mark Ruffalo, Florence Pugh — plus the newer additions, including Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle, Tramell Tillman's William Mesker, Naomi Watts voicing E.D.I.T.H., and a genuinely strong turn from Sadie Sink as Jean Grey that surprised us both.Along the way we get into the film's stunt work and practical martial arts sequences, the choice to make Peter's webs organic again as a nod to Tobey Maguire's era, and what it means that this film is now closing in on two billion dollars worldwide and threatening box office records held by Avengers: Endgame and Titanic. We also share (in maybe too much detail) the theater experience that colored one of our first viewings, because full transparency matters around here.Whether you loved Brand New Day or walked out with the same reservations we did, we want to hear it. And with Avengers: Doomsday looming and a fifth Spider-Man almost certainly on the way, we start speculating about where this saga goes next.If you're not already following along, you can find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and everywhere else podcasts live, and subscribing to the YouTube channel helps a lot more than you'd think.Support the showOh Brother Podcast:Support the Show!

In this episode of the Bass Vault, we tackle the toughest month of the year—August! When water temps soar, boat traffic peaks, and bass turn lethargic, most anglers struggle—but you don't have to. We reveal why downsizing to finesse worms, drop shots, and light-line setups (6-lb fluorocarbon) is the ultimate summer game-changer. Learn how to work shady docks, overhanging trees, and matted vegetation with weightless wacky rigs, skip casts, and slow-falling Texas rigs. We break down jig-head selection—shaky, football, and swimming heads—for rock, grass, and gravel, plus how to use the drop shot to target suspended bass above deep structure.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has shattered box office records, and after seeing it twice—including an IMAX viewing—it's time for a full spoiler discussion.In this episode, I break down why I believe this isn't just another Spider-Man sequel, but a reboot, an origin story, and a love letter to decades of Spider-Man history all at once. We dive into Peter Parker's evolution, the Raimi and Webb influences, the surprising similarities to Insomniac's Spider-Man, the roles of Frank Castle, Bruce Banner, Jean Grey, Damage Control, and Scorpion, along with the film's post-credit scene and what it could mean for Spider-Man's future in the MCU. Plus, I share my theories on where Peter goes next after Doomsday and Secret Wars—and reveal why this has become my favorite Tom Holland Spider-Man film and possibly my favorite live-action Spider-Man movie overall.

This week on the Major Issues Podcast, the hosts break down Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the latest chapter in the MCU and Tom Holland's biggest Spider-Man adventure yet.

Scorpion in Spider-Man, Nacho in Better Call Saul, and Jaze in 72 Hours.... MICHAEL MANDO sits down with John in a very special 2 part episode of On The Phone With: John Mingione!

Kevin and Tim take on Spider-Man: Brand New Day and break down why Spider-Man movies always hit. The boys discuss how seeing (or skipping) the trailer changed the experience, the cautionary tales of Hulk and the Punisher, handshake pops, the treat level of the Scorpion and mutants struggling to control their powers.

Brand New Day is here, and it's packed with MCU heavyweights—Hulk, Punisher, Yelena Belova, Jean Grey. And honestly? Most of them are just there to lose. Hulk gets shut down by Jean Grey. Punisher has one iconic moment and then dips. Yelena shows up for two scenes. The opening montage throws Scorpion, Tombstone, and a bunch of villains at us, and then they're gone.But Jean Grey? She steals the whole movie. Sadie Sink is terrifying. The movie basically becomes an X-Men origin story in the third act, and we're breaking down whether that works or ruins it.Listen now—we've got takes.Follow The Anime Alchemists for weekly deep dives—and the occasional Spider-Man exception.---#SpiderMan #BrandNewDay #MCU #Hulk #Punisher #AnimeAlchemists

n this episode of the Bass Vault, we unlock the ultimate jig strategy for targeting monster post-spawn bass. Learn why craw-style soft plastics are deadly after the spawn, when to throw heavy weights for a fast fall that triggers reaction strikes, and how to choose the perfect color—from natural green pumpkin to black/blue and even chartreuse accents that mimic bluegill. We break down exactly where big females go to recover: rocky structure, long points, humps, ledges, and current breaks in 10–20 feet of water. Plus, discover how to work suspended bass with sharp lifts and controlled falls, and get the inside scoop on must-have baits like the HellaMite, Scorpion, Lizard, Beetle, and the massive 8-inch MagDingo Worm.

This very podcast was predicated upon one of our favorite movies from one of our favorite directors, 1990: Bronx Warriors from director Enzo G. Castellari. The following year we covered its sequel, Escape From The Bronx but there's a secret sequel and we felt incomplete leaving it out. Until now! The New Barbarians is a sequel in the loosest possible sense. It takes place in 2019 and steals liberally from George Miller's 1981 sequel to Mad Max, The Road Warrior. We find Mike Brady lookalike, Scorpion driving the post-apocalyptic wasteland, on the run from his former gang, the genocidal Templars. Mike's dedication to the loner lifestyle is put to the test when he rescues a mysterious injured woman from the Templars and he'll be called on to protect a colony of survivors when the ghosts of his past return to settle an old beef. New Barbarians leans into the spaghetti western overtures that inspired Mad Max while stealing from the same movie but on a significantly smaller budget. Italian Mas Max ripoffs are already a cheap, threadbare affair but this movie, the very first of many more to follow, starts off from an even cheaper, more threadbare position and it's quite frankly amazing that this movie proved that ripping off a high-flying Australian stunt spectacular with the crappiest cars and wasteland punks you've ever seen.

In this episode I discuss the following Where I've been all this time .. your patience is very much appreciated! Spider-Man BND afterthoughts and why the character is special to me Fractured Frontier Card Rankings .. what cards are you most excited for this month? In a snap

Ronnie and Jazz review the 38th movie in the MCU, Baby-Man: Baby's Day Out. Named after a storyline that followed Spider-Man selling his marriage to the Devil, BND is about Spider-Man undergoing puberty and trying to fight someone who can possess people. Along the way our favorite wallcrawler's become an Instagram stalker. Those hoping to see the Scorpion, Boomerang, Ramrod, Tarantula, Tombstone and other "classic" Spidey villains will be disappointed. You'll get your Hulk and you'll fucking like it. Listeners should be proud: at no point during recording did Ronnie suffer an embolism.

This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; even though we are Celebrating our 10th Year of Podcasting; we unfortunately exhausted all our energy on the Previous SDCC Reveals & Announcements Ep. So we are giving you a ReIssue episode instead from the Vault. (Originally Posted as Ep #143 - from October 2019). Original blurb: It’s a very special ep as we’re joined by not one, but two of favourite guests in Davey Damaged and Scotty so that’s right – it’s a Homer episode! Trent takes us through a vintage retrospective look at The Addams family by Playmates. Perfectly timed for Halloween, we wonder what could have been with this short-lived line and look to the future of the franchise as a new movie approaches. What characters didn’t get made, which ones make the camera glow and where does MC Hammer fit into it all? We make the jump to Show and Tell as Davey tries to trump us all with a purchase so large, we doubt it will actually fit in his toy room! There’s some DC, MOTU and even Final Fantasy options to choose from. Frank gives a lovely tribute showing that sometimes, the value of a toy; lays in more than its sticker price. Then it’s Quiz time and with Davey onboard, anything is possible. To say this episode goes off the rails is putting it mildly – but on the plus side we learnt that Trent can’t hold his liquor, Ben thinks photos record sound, Space Jam was an event and Rick Moranis is Trent’s muse. So hold on for this crazy ride that also serves as a farewell for one of the team…Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Tommy is joined by actor Michael Mando who is finally returning to the MCU as Scorpion in Spiderman: Brand New Day. You may know Michael from his unforgettable performances as Nacho Varga in Better Call Saul and Far Cry 3, but he is picking up the pieces from his cameo in Spiderman: Homecoming and returning to the role of Mac Gargan/Scorpion in what has been a highly anticipated return. Today, Michael opens up about if he knew he would be returning back to the MCU when he signed on to play Scorpion almost 10 years ago, that scene of his cut from Spiderman: Homecoming, the moment that Scorpion made him feel petrified, what playing a villain in the MCU means to him, why he loved working with Tom Holland, what it was like watching him transform into Spiderman up close, the training involved in playing Scorpion, why community is so important when filming a movie like this, if he’s heard anything about Scorpion eventually turning into Venom, his personal connection to Venom as both a kid and adult, voicing Bane in Batman: Knightfall - Part 1, how he helped shape the actual animation of this character, joining Kevin Hart in 72 Hours on Netflix, his unconventional journey towards becoming an actor, if he would reprise his role in a Better Call Saul reboot, why rejection has fueled him even harder over the years, what he will never say to you and so much more.

Astronomers have confirmed the first moon-like object beyond our solar system — and immediately discovered our vocabulary cannot handle it. A Jupiter-mass world orbits a brown dwarf, which orbits a red dwarf, seventy light-years away. Is it a moon? A planet? Something we have not named yet? Also on today's show: the Milky Way's most powerful particle accelerator is confirmed in the direction of Altair, out-punching the Large Hadron Collider by a factor of a hundred. Chandra catches a black hole starving a galaxy it does not even live in. China flies the world's largest solid rocket from the open ocean for the first time. Starship Flight 13 gets another window. And the Moon meets the heart of the Scorpion.

It's a trailer reaction day on Comicast as Jong and Michael first discuss the final trailer for Spider-Man Brand New Day, which dropped literally as they started recording. Find out why the guys liked the trailers focus on Peter's journey to this point, why grounding it with the characters rather than the action was a smart choice, what Scorpion could mean by "you think I'm Scorpion", the possibility that Metzger is working with Spider-Man, why the look of the film feels so different than the previous films, whether Ned will ever turn into Hobgoblin, growing with this Peter more than others, and more! Then the guys dive into the first trailer for one of the biggest films of the year in Avengers Doomsday. The guys discuss whether Doom is the one causing the incursions seen in the trailer or something else, whether we get a final acknowledgement to Kang, whether Doom is the one uniting the heroes, why TVA Loki is the most confusing piece of the puzzle, Thor leading the way this time,  whether that's actually Steve Rogers (I mean he got Mjölnir again so it's gotta be him right? RIGHT?), Cyclops finally getting the blue/yellow look in live action, whether the Fox Universe X-Men could die in this film, why Jong's not happy with one particular casting, and more!Stay locked into the podcast feed because today at 11a CST, the Comicast Spoiler Review of The Odyssey releases featuring Jong, Michael, and Chalice Williams of Reel Movie Junkie.  Rate, review, like, and/or subscribe to Comicast on whatever podcast app you're using; Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Castbox, Goodpods, Podcast Addicts, or whatever your podcast app you use!  Feedback, questions, or topic ideas for the show?
