Thinking about starting a franchise while working full-time (and maybe raising a family too)?

In this episode, Wes Read, CPA and financial advisor, highlights a common mistake among dental practice owners: treating financial planning as a one-time task instead of an ongoing cycle. Just like dental hygiene requires regular checkups, financial hygiene needs consistent monitoring, updating, and adjustment.Wes explains the fourth phase of financial planning: Implement → Monitor → Revise → Repeat. Following a structured rhythm ensures clarity, accountability, and faster progress toward financial independence.Seven Key Activities for Dental Practice Owners:Review monthly financial statements (profit & loss, balance sheet, cash flow).Update long-term personal financial plan annually (ideally in January).Revisit personal spending plan annually to track expenses accurately.Complete tax projections twice yearly (June and October/November).Update family payroll annually in January to optimize taxes and 401(k) contributions.Adjust doctor payroll three times yearly (January, June, October) for taxes and retirement.Complete cash flow forecasts and allocate surplus capital in June and October.Wes notes that traditional CPAs often focus on historical data and compliance, while dental-specific financial advisors help align practice cash flow with personal financial goals, creating real traction toward wealth.Key Takeaways:Financial planning is an ongoing cycle, not a one-time event.Monthly reviews and annual updates keep you proactive.Semi-annual tax and cash flow planning prevent surprises.Working with a dental-specific advisor accelerates wealth building.Consistency compounds into financial freedom and lifestyle flexibility.Resources Mentioned:Financial Activity Cadence

How does a state like Arizona – not even in existence when the Declaration of Independence was signed – celebrate America's 250th birthday? Secretary of State Adrian Fontes joins us to share the ambitious and creative plans underway for America 250 AZ, a multi-year celebration culminating in 2026.Far from being just another patriotic party, this semi-quincentennial celebration showcases Arizona's unique perspective on American history. As Fontes explains, our land was very much "in existence" in 1776, home to indigenous peoples and later visited by Spanish explorers (including Fontes' own ancestors). This rich tapestry of cultures continues to define Arizona's approach to commemorating national milestones.The centerpiece of Arizona's celebration is Passport 250, a statewide initiative encouraging residents and visitors to explore the Grand Canyon State through themed experiences. From Dine 250 promoting local eateries to Hike 250 showcasing our natural beauty, each program invites participation while supporting local communities. The Liberty Bell project will create a mobile museum around Arizona's replica Liberty Bell, touring communities throughout the state before returning to a new ceremonial base containing time capsules for future generations.Perhaps most inspiring is the story behind the America 250 AZ logo, created by a 17-year-old high school student whose artwork now heads to the Smithsonian. This exemplifies what Fontes sees as the celebration's core message: how ordinary individuals connect to our extraordinary collective achievement. Through this commemoration, he hopes Arizonans will gain both humility about our place in history and gratitude for those who helped build our society.Want to get involved?

The US Open 2025 Women's final is set and it's a rematch of THAT Wimbledon semifinals that saw Amanda Anisimova upset the world number 1 Aryna Sabalenka in a fabulous contest. Anisimova will be hoping to replicate that victory when she faces off against Sabalenka on Saturday night but will the memory of the 6-0 6-0 Wimbledon final defeat be in the back of her mind going into another final. Anisimova stunned two time former champion Naomi Osaka in the semi-final in three tight sets and 3 hours to advance to her second consecutive grand slam final. Osaka at one point was just one game away from a 3rd final in New York before Anisimova bounced back to power to victory. For Sabalenka the test was arguably even tougher in a rematch of the US Open final last year, she went down a set and in the final set only won 4 points against the Pegula serve and they all happened to be in one game whilst Pegula didn't take her 4 break point chances to level the match. Sabalenka will be seeking her 4th grand slam title and her 1st of the season whilst Anisimova will be seeking a maiden grand slam title.Joel and Chris make their predictions and they also preview the Men's semi-finals where Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic face off in the day session and Jannik Sinner takes on Felix Auger-Aliassime in the night session. They also look ahead to the women's doubles final from Flushing Meadows where Taylor Townsends seeks to cap off a phenomenal tournament for the American!

First of all, thanks for all the Birthday wishes. Much appreciated. Of course, it's another reminder of my age. Not much I can do about that. Thanks also once again to Paul K Ward for recording and editing at his studioblue in Northeast Portland as is our guest. I'm at my desk again in Northwest Portland. You know lots of musicians moved to Portland because of our music scene, at least in part. Today we're talking to Debra Giannini who has lived all over the place, moving to Portland in 1990. She had multiple careers, the musical one being as a singer/songwriter and folk music artist. But she's about to leave town, to a degree. And as such she's about to launch a farewell Portland tour, singing and playing guitar and baritone ukulele. She's calling it “The Savoring Time Tour.” It begins in Portland and ends (if there is such a thing) in Kansas where she will light like a butterfly on a leaf. That seems like a good time for me to stop talking and let her explain herself.

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Lois: Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs with Oracle University, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services. Nikita: Hey everyone! In our last episode, we spoke about generative AI and gen AI agents. Today, we're going to look at the key stages in a typical AI workflow. We'll also discuss how data quality, feedback loops, and business goals influence AI success. With us today is Yunus Mohammed, a Principal Instructor at Oracle University.  01:00 Lois: Hi Yunus! We're excited to have you here! Can you walk us through the various steps in developing and deploying an AI model?  Yunus: The first point is the collect data. We gather relevant data, either historical or real time. Like customer transactions, support tickets, survey feedbacks, or sensor logs. A travel company, for example, can collect past booking data to predict future demand. So, data is the most crucial and the important component for building your AI models. But it's not just the data. You need to prepare the data. In the prepared data process, we clean, organize, and label the data. AI can't learn from messy spreadsheets. We try to make the data more understandable and organized, like removing duplicates, filling missing values in the data with some default values or formatting dates. All these comes under organization of the data and give a label to the data, so that the data becomes more supervised. After preparing the data, I go for selecting the model to train. So now, we pick what type of model fits your goals. It can be a traditional ML model or a deep learning network model, or it can be a generative model. The model is chosen based on the business problems and the data we have. So, we train the model using the prepared data, so it can learn the patterns of the data. Then after the model is trained, I need to evaluate the model. You check how well the model performs. Is it accurate? Is it fair? The metrics of the evaluation will vary based on the goal that you're trying to reach. If your model misclassifies emails as spam and it is doing it very much often, then it is not ready. So I need to train it further. So I need to train it to a level when it identifies the official mail as official mail and spam mail as spam mail accurately.  After evaluating and making sure your model is perfectly fitting, you go for the next step, which is called the deploy model. Once we are happy, we put it into the real world, like into a CRM, or a web application, or an API. So, I can configure that with an API, which is application programming interface, or I add it to a CRM, Customer Relationship Management, or I add it to a web application that I've got. Like for example, a chatbot becomes available on your company's website, and the chatbot might be using a generative AI model. Once I have deployed the model and it is working fine, I need to keep track of this model, how it is working, and need to monitor and improve whenever needed. So I go for a stage, which is called as monitor and improve. So AI isn't set in and forget it. So over time, there are lot of changes that is happening to the data. So we monitor performance and retrain when needed. An e-commerce recommendation model needs updates as there might be trends which are shifting.  So the end user finally sees the results after all the processes. A better product, or a smarter service, or a faster decision-making model, if we do this right. That is, if we process the flow perfectly, they may not even realize AI is behind it to give them the accurate results.  04:59 Nikita: Got it. So, everything in AI begins with data. But what are the different types of data used in AI development?  Yunus: We work with three main types of data: structured, unstructured, and semi-structured. Structured data is like a clean set of tables in Excel or databases, which consists of rows and columns with clear and consistent data information. Unstructured is messy data, like your email or customer calls that records videos or social media posts, so they all comes under unstructured data.  Semi-structured data is things like logs on XML files or JSON files. Not quite neat but not entirely messy either. So they are, they are termed semi-structured. So structured, unstructured, and then you've got the semi-structured. 05:58 Nikita: Ok… and how do the data needs vary for different AI approaches?  Yunus: Machine learning often needs labeled data. Like a bank might feed past transactions labeled as fraud or not fraud to train a fraud detection model. But machine learning also includes unsupervised learning, like clustering customer spending behavior. Here, no labels are needed. In deep learning, it needs a lot of data, usually unstructured, like thousands of loan documents, call recordings, or scan checks. These are fed into the models and the neural networks to detect and complex patterns. Data science focus on insights rather than the predictions. So a data scientist at the bank might use customer relationship management exports and customer demographies to analyze which age group prefers credit cards over the loans. Then we have got generative AI that thrives on diverse, unstructured internet scalable data. Like it is getting data from books, code, images, chat logs. So these models, like ChatGPT, are trained to generate responses or mimic the styles and synthesize content. So generative AI can power a banking virtual assistant trained on chat logs and frequently asked questions to answer customer queries 24/7. 07:35 Lois: What are the challenges when dealing with data?  Yunus: Data isn't just about having enough. We must also think about quality. Is it accurate and relevant? Volume. Do we have enough for the model to learn from? And is my data consisting of any kind of unfairly defined structures, like rejecting more loan applications from a certain zip code, which actually gives you a bias of data? And also the privacy. Are we handling personal data responsibly or not? Especially data which is critical or which is regulated, like the banking sector or health data of the patients. Before building anything smart, we must start smart.  08:23 Lois: So, we've established that collecting the right data is non-negotiable for success. Then comes preparing it, right?  Yunus: This is arguably the most important part of any AI or data science project. Clean data leads to reliable predictions. Imagine you have a column for age, and someone accidentally entered an age of like 999. That's likely a data entry error. Or maybe a few rows have missing ages. So we either fix, remove, or impute such issues. This step ensures our model isn't misled by incorrect values. Dates are often stored in different formats. For instance, a date, can be stored as the month and the day values, or it can be stored in some places as day first and month next. We want to bring everything into a consistent, usable format. This process is called as transformation. The machine learning models can get confused if one feature, like example the income ranges from 10,000 to 100,000, and another, like the number of kids, range from 0 to 5. So we normalize or scale values to bring them to a similar range, say 0 or 1. So we actually put it as yes or no options. So models don't understand words like small, medium, or large. We convert them into numbers using encoding. One simple way is assigning 1, 2, and 3 respectively. And then you have got removing stop words like the punctuations, et cetera, and break the sentence into smaller meaningful units called as tokens. This is actually used for generative AI tasks. In deep learning, especially for Gen AI, image or audio inputs must be of uniform size and format.  10:31 Lois: And does each AI system have a different way of preparing data?  Yunus: For machine learning ML, focus is on cleaning, encoding, and scaling. Deep learning needs resizing and normalization for text and images. Data science, about reshaping, aggregating, and getting it ready for insights. The generative AI needs special preparation like chunking, tokenizing large documents, or compressing images. 11:06 Oracle University's Race to Certification 2025 is your ticket to free training and certification in today's hottest tech. Whether you're starting with Artificial Intelligence, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Multicloud, or Oracle Data Platform, this challenge covers it all!

That's education.oracle.com/race-to-certification-2025. 11:50 Nikita: Welcome back! Yunus, how does a user choose the right model to solve their business problem?  Yunus: Just like a business uses different dashboards for marketing versus finance, in AI, we use different model types, depending on what we are trying to solve. Like classification is choosing a category. Real-world example can be whether the email is a spam or not. Use in fraud detection, medical diagnosis, et cetera. So what you do is you classify that particular data and then accurately access that classification of data. Regression, which is used for predicting a number, like, what will be the price of a house next month? Or it can be a useful in common forecasting sales demands or on the cost. Clustering, things without labels. So real-world examples can be segmenting customers based on behavior for targeted marketing. It helps discovering hidden patterns in large data sets.  Generation, that is creating new content. So AI writing product description or generating images can be a real-world example for this. And it can be used in a concept of generative AI models like ChatGPT or Dall-E, which operates on the generative AI principles. 13:16 Nikita: And how do you train a model? Yunus: We feed it with data in small chunks or batches and then compare its guesses to the correct values, adjusting its thinking like weights to improve next time, and the cycle repeats until the model gets good at making predictions. So if you're building a fraud detection system, ML may be enough. If you want to analyze medical images, you will need deep learning. If you're building a chatbot, go for a generative model like the LLM. And for all of these use cases, you need to select and train the applicable models as and when appropriate. 14:04 Lois: OK, now that the model's been trained, what else needs to happen before it can be deployed? Yunus: Evaluate the model, assess a model's accuracy, reliability, and real-world usefulness before it's put to work. That is, how often is the model right? Does it consistently perform well? Is it practical in the real world to use this model or not? Because if I have bad predictions, doesn't just look bad, it can lead to costly business mistakes. Think of recommending the wrong product to a customer or misidentifying a financial risk.  So what we do here is we start with splitting the data into two parts. So we train the data by training data. And this is like teaching the model. And then we have got the testing data. This is actually used for checking how well the model has learned. So once trained, the model makes predictions. We compare the predictions to the actual answers, just like checking your answer after a quiz. We try to go in for tailored evaluation based on AI types. Like machine learning, we care about accuracy in prediction. Deep learning is about fitting complex data like voice or images, where the model repeatedly sees examples and tunes itself to reduce errors. Data science, we look for patterns and insights, such as which features will matter. In generative AI, we judge by output quality. Is it coherent, useful, and is it natural?  The model improves with the accuracy and the number of epochs the training has been done on.  15:59 Nikita: So, after all that, we finally come to deploying the model… Yunus: Deploying a model means we are integrating it into our actual business system. So it can start making decisions, automating tasks, or supporting customer experiences in real time. Think of it like this. Training is teaching the model. Evaluating is testing it. And deployment is giving it a job.  The model needs a home either in the cloud or inside your company's own servers. Think of it like putting the AI in place where it can be reached by other tools. Exposed via API or embedded in an app, or you can say application, this is how the AI becomes usable.  Then, we have got the concept of receives live data and returns predictions. So receives live data and returns prediction is when the model listens to real-time inputs like a user typing, or user trying to search or click or making a transaction, and then instantly, your AI responds with a recommendation, decisions, or results. Deploying the model isn't the end of the story. It is just the beginning of the AI's real-world journey. Models may work well on day one, but things change. Customer behavior might shift. New products get introduced in the market. Economic conditions might evolve, like the era of COVID, where the demand shifted and the economical conditions actually changed. 17:48 Lois: Then it's about monitoring and improving the model to keep things reliable over time. Yunus: The monitor and improve loop is a continuous process that ensures an AI model remains accurate, fair, and effective after deployment. The live predictions, the model is running in real time, making decisions or recommendations. The monitor performance are those predictions still accurate and helpful. Is latency acceptable? This is where we track metrics, user feedbacks, and operational impact. Then, we go for detect issues, like accuracy is declining, are responses feeling biased, are customers dropping off due to long response times? And the next step will be to reframe or update the model. So we add fresh data, tweak the logic, or even use better architectures to deploy the uploaded model, and the new version replaces the old one and the cycle continues again. 18:58 Lois: And are there challenges during this step? Yunus: The common issues, which are related to monitor and improve consist of model drift, bias, and latency of failures. In model drift, the model becomes less accurate as the environment changes. Or bias, the model may favor or penalize certain groups unfairly. Latency or failures, if the model is too slow or fails unpredictably, it disrupts the user experience. Let's take the loan approvals. In loan approvals, if we notice an unusually high rejection rate due to model bias, we might retrain the model with more diverse or balanced data. For a chatbot, we watch for customer satisfaction, which might arise due to model failure and fine-tune the responses for the model. So in forecasting demand, if the predictions no longer match real trends, say post-pandemic, due to the model drift, we update the model with fresh data.  20:11 Nikita: Thanks for that, Yunus. Any final thoughts before we let you go? Yunus: No matter how advanced your model is, its effectiveness depends on the quality of the data you feed it. That means, the data needs to be clean, structured, and relevant. It should map itself to the problem you're solving. If the foundation is weak, the results will be also. So data preparation is not just a technical step, it is a business critical stage. Once deployed, AI systems must be monitored continuously, and you need to watch for drops in performance for any bias being generated or outdated logic, and improve the model with new data or refinements. That's what makes AI reliable, ethical, and sustainable in the long run. 21:09 Nikita: Yunus, thank you for this really insightful session.

Brain lesion extent, growth, and body composition in children with cerebral palsyStina Oftedal, Simona Fiori, Kristie L Bell, Katherine A Benfer, Leanne Sakzewski, Robert S Ware, Peter S W Davies, Roslyn N BoydPMID: 40745624DOI: 10.1111/dmcn.16427AbstractAim: To investigate the relationship between growth, body composition, and the extent of brain lesion measured using structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in children with cerebral palsy (CP).Method: This prospective population-based cohort study recorded 359 assessments from 124 children with CP aged 18 months to 13 years (38% female, Gross Motor Function Classification System [GMFCS] levels I = 50, II = 24, III = 17, IV = 12, and V = 21). A neurologist assessed the extent of the brain lesion using a validated semi-quantitative scale (global, basal ganglia/brainstem, hemispheric and corpus callosum scores). Height (HTZ), weight (WTZ), and head circumference (HDZ) z-scores were calculated. The Fat Mass Index (FMI) and Fat-Free Mass Index (FFMI) were determined using a deuterium dilution technique, bioelectrical impedance or dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and height. Data were analysed using mixed-effects linear regression.Results: Greater global (β = -0.04, 95% confidence interval [CI] = -0.07 to -0.02), basal ganglia/brainstem (β = -0.06, 95% CI = -0.11 to -0.02), corpus callosum (β = -0.27, 95% CI = -0.27 to -0.12), and hemispheric (β = -0.08, 95% CI = -0.12 to -0.04) scores were associated with lower HTZ. Greater global (β = -0.03,95% CI = -0.06 to -0.01) and corpus callosum (β = -0.23, 95% CI = -0.40 to -0.06) scores were associated with lower WTZ. A greater hemispheric score (β = -0.06, 95% CI = -0.119 to -0.001) was associated with lower HDZ. Semi-quantitative MRI scores were not associated with FMI or FFMI.Interpretation: Greater extent of the brain lesion was significantly associated with lower HDZ, HTZ, and WTZ but not body composition in children with CP aged 18 months to 13 years.Keywords: Body composition; Brain imaging; Brain lesion; Cerebral palsy; Growth.

In this insightful episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into the real frameworks behind building, scaling, and sustaining a massively successful coaching business. They unpack the fundamental pillars every coach must master, dissect Alex Hormozi's $100M launch event as a masterclass in psychological persuasion, and cut through the myths surrounding wealth, fulfillment, and the business coaching lifestyle. Karl gets candid about true financial freedom, legacy, and the core mindset shifts that separate the pros from the pretenders—all while delivering actionable strategies you can run with this week. Key Topics Covered Coaching Simplified: The 3 Core Pillars Karl distills coaching down to three timeless essentials: relentless lead generation, skilled conversion of high-end clients, and world-class fulfillment. While most coaches obsess over leads, Karl argues that the “silver bullet” is mastery in client fulfillment, which drives referrals and organic growth. The Aggregation of Marginal Gains Small, consistent improvements across multiple business areas compound to produce outsized results—echoing Karl's ongoing championing of “singles over home runs” in practice building. Dissecting Alex Hormozi's $100M Launch Karl breaks down Hormozi's wildly successful $100M event, emphasizing the deliberate, multi-layered use of psychology and social proof. He underlines that it was the result of years of audience building and trust, not an overnight success or lucky break. Redefining Wealth and Success for Coaches A thought-provoking segment on why chasing billionaire status isn't the path to real fulfillment or happiness. Instead, Karl advocates aiming for “wealthy”—where your passive income outpaces your monthly burn—so you can enjoy life's options without endless sacrifice. Audit Anxiety and Professional Boundaries When asked if clients should rely on ChatGPT for tax audits, Karl is blunt: never represent yourself. He outlines the dangers of “pilot error” and stresses the importance of letting professional accountants handle government audits. Moment of Zen: Inner Peace Over Happiness Karl's Zen moment explores the distinction between happiness (fleeting) versus peace (sustainable), and offers a powerful morning routine for manifesting confidence and gratitude. Notable Quotes “Most coaches obsess over lead generation, but the unlock, the magic, the silver bullet is in fulfillment. Get unbelievable at the delivery—and you'll never worry about leads again.” — Karl Bryan “Wealth is when your passive income is above your monthly burn. Not a dollar amount—an option.” — Karl Bryan “You don't get lucky and keep it. Watch your burn, accumulate assets, and play the long game.” — Karl Bryan “If you get five clients, you can get 50. If you get 50, you can get 500. It all starts with building the structure—one at a time.” — Karl Bryan Actionable Takeaways 1. Obsess Less Over Leads, Master Client Fulfillment: Deliver an experience so strong that each client becomes a raving fan and gives you referrals. That's how “build it and they will come” actually works. 2. Focus on Incremental Gains: Commit to making small improvements across the board instead of searching for magic bullets. The compound effect is real. 3. Don't DIY Critical Tasks: Advising clients to use AI for something as serious as a tax audit is risky—always steer them to qualified professionals. 4. Redefine Your Financial Goals: Instead of billionaire fantasies, shoot for wealth—where income exceeds expenses—giving you freedom and peace of mind. 5. Start Building Your ‘Five-Client' Framework: Systematically secure and retain five high-quality clients as your launchpad for long-term, semi-retired success. 6. Practice a Morning Mindset Routine: Ask yourself empowering questions (“Why is it so easy for me to experience inner peace?”) to train your subconscious for confidence and gratitude.

We stand in gratitude to Bruce Vilanch for Peak Hollywood's most treasured and iconic entertainment history moments. Bruce is an EGOT Award Show Writer and he's penned warehouses and server farms full of TV Variety shows and specials with lingering legacies. As infamous Youtube gems were mined, during lockdown, by intrepid Millennial podcasters, Bruce bravely opened wounds to spill toxic details.Yes, we are talking Star Wars Holiday & Paul Lynde Halloween Specials. The hot tea is on tap in Bruce's new book, It Seemed Like A Bad Idea At The Time.As a child, Bruce was not just your garden variety funny fat kid. His mother recognized his unique potential and submitted young Bruce as a Lane Bryant Charming Chub print model.  His journalism career took off at summer camp where Bruce successfully avoided outdoor activities by writing a popular and dishy camp newspaper. During college he went pro as a cub reporter for The Chicago Tribune, watching the films Gene Siskel elected to skip. A review of Bette Midler's cabaret show led to a collaborative lifelong friendship.The pattern has continued with Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Crystal, Dolly Parton and beyond. Bruce's comedic charms are so potent, he can take stinkers like Can't Stop The Music and Ice Pirates (featuring Bruce as a court jesting body-less head) and  churn hilarity. Wherever the comedy leaned towards tragedy, Bruce mined the gold that is his new book.Bruce also tells us how Donny Osmond's pull with Mormon elders got a Utah affiliate to broadcast Bette Midler's HBO special. Bruce then boldly addresses the Jo Koy Golden Globes fiasco. He imparts the famous legend of Beethoven (the dog's) Oscar movement, and tells of his daring journey in search of a look at Milton Berle's alleged equipment.But, Bruce's glories will not be outshined by his duds because we are ringing in a round of IMDB Roulette in which we celebrate: Ray Charles, Dolly Parton Elizabeth Taylor and The Constitution!
