Shoot us a Text.Episode #1075: Today we're talking CarMax's record-setting quarter, Congress clashing over EV tax credits, and Honda's surprising success in rocket science. Yep, you read that right—Honda landed a rocket.Show Notes with links:CarMax's latest quarterly results are in—and they're cruising past analyst expectations with strong used vehicle sales, revenue growth, and record-breaking profit per unit.Q1 net income jumped 38% to $210.4 million, while revenue rose to $7.5 billion, up 6.1% year-over-year.Used retail vehicle sales hit 230,210 units, a 9% increase and gross profit per unit hit a record $2,407.Same-store sales were up 8.1%, marking the fourth consecutive positive quarter.“These results highlight the strength of our earnings growth model… and our sharp focus on execution.” — CarMax CEO Bill NashPresident Trump's proposed budget is taking aim at federal EV tax credits, with House and Senate Republicans offering two versions of how—and how fast—they should end. The result could drastically shift EV affordability and consumer interest.The House plan ends credits in 2026 for smaller brands but cuts off top sellers like Tesla and GM this year.Automakers under the 200,000-vehicle cap—like Rivian, Honda, and Lucid—would still benefit temporarily.The Senate version is more aggressive, ending all credits within 180 days and leasing perks immediately.EV leaders warn of market disruption; some predict a sales dip once credits vanish.“They're really trying to put a stake in the heart of EV subsidies,” said Mike Murphy, CEO of the American EV Jobs Alliance.In a move beyond automobiles, Honda has successfully launched and landed a reusable rocket as part of its R&D efforts to enter the space industry and support future satellite demand.The rocket hit 890 feet before landing within 14in of its target at a Japan test site.Honda leveraged tech from its automated driving systems for flight and landing.The launch took place in Taiki Town, a growing hub for aerospace development in Japan.The 21-foot, 2,800-pound rocket flew for just under a minute on retractable legs.“Honda will continue making progress... with a technology development goal of realizing a suborbital launch by 2029,” the company statedJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

This one's personal. I'm finally talking about the private equity takeover of medicine—and why Oregon might've just taken the first real step to stop it. We're diving into the gray zone between burnout and buyouts, why docs sell their practices, and what that means for patients (spoiler: it's not great). I also share some zingers for a classic surgeon roast and finally explain that weird thing your optic nerves do in the middle of your brain. And yeah, I really do look like I just rolled out of bed. Because I did. Takeaways: Oregon just banned private equity from buying medical practices—and it could change everything. Physicians are selling their practices for millions… but at what cost? The real reason optic nerves crisscross in your brain (and it's not the corpus callosum). Classic surgeon insults that will have you laughing—and cringing.

Kiera talks with Chief Operations Manager Jeff and Dr. Andrew Sugg of Green Park Dentistry about identifying your dreams as dental leaders, and finding the path to get there. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera and today is such a special magical day on the podcast. I have two of my absolute favorite human beings. We have known each other for so many years. They are incredible, incredible dentists, practice owners, managers, like you name it. These two men are some of the most brilliant people I've watched in dentistry and I've watched them grow from beginning, very basics. to this masterpiece of their life, of their community, of this practice that I truly think is such an example in this world. So Jeff and Andrew, welcome to the show. How are you today? Jeff & Andrew (00:33) Great, thank you for having us. Doing well, thank you for having us. Kiera Dent (00:37) You're so welcome. And I know it'll get a little weird, because when there's three of us here, it's always like, who's supposed to talk? So I'll try really hard to just call someone out. But honestly, guys, how does it feel to be, and I'll ask Jeff first. So again, I'll just riff through this. How does it feel from when we first met to where you are today? How does it feel? What would you even say? What's a word? Or what's the expression of where you started to where you are today? How was that experience for you, Jeff? Jeff & Andrew (00:42) Yeah. ⁓ if I had to sum it up in a word, looking back at myself in this experience, I think my younger self would look at today and be astonished that one, this is the career path I'm in that I didn't set out to. ⁓ you know, two, I started in this dental industry with zero experience other than knowing Andrew and listening to what he talks about when he comes home, to today. that we have gone from a team of seven in this tiny building with five ops we started with to now a team of 20, 17 ops in a 16,000 square foot building. I literally cannot, I have to pinch myself being like, we did this, take a minute, let's reflect. I'm still kind of coming down from all of the renovation and the moving and calibration. ⁓ So every now and then I have to remind myself like, wait, this is our place, we did this. So take a minute and reflect. And I'm still kind of battling with that because I'm used to going full force. So I'm astonished. Kiera Dent (02:16) It's amazing. And Jeff, I'm so glad you said that. we've known each other. Jeff and Andrew have been clients of ours for years. This is like a client spotlight where we bring on people to just, I think, share their journey, share their experience. And for me to have like a proud mama moment of just being so freaking proud of where you are. And I agree, I'm astonished. It's not something when I met you too that I thought, would it be capable? But I do think it's all for all of us, like a pinch me moment. And for me, What I love is seeing my favorite humans just flourish. And I feel like you guys give back to your team, you give back to your community. You're the good guys that I always want to win. And so I'm your biggest raving fan over here. Yes, have the life, have the experiences, do the things because you're just amazing humans that are contributing so much to this world. So I love that. Andrew, want to hear, and also Jeff, always you should just love Andrew so much and the fact that he brought you into dentistry. Welcome to the best profession ever. So kudos on that, Andrew. Jeff & Andrew (03:07) ⁓ huh. Yes. Thank you. Kiera Dent (03:12) What about for you? How's this journey been from where you started? You and Jeff, think it's like adorable. Jeff literally had no clue. I remember Jeff, you're like, I don't even know what these things. Jeff & Andrew (03:20) That's exactly what I was going to say. Like Andrew brought me and I was like, Hi, Kiera, I'm Jeff. And I don't know what I'm doing and I think I need your help. So I do have to throw in a kudos, a super thank you for guiding me and helping me get to this place. So yeah, you guys really helped kind of us. Kiera Dent (03:32) my gosh, I can't take the huge credit. Tiffany has been like the mass superstar for you guys. I've been able to be the proud mom on the side that's just freaking rooting for you all day long. But yes, I do remember definitely like, hi, your adorable glasses. Like you guys were just like dressed in white I think the night I met you and hi guys, super nice to meet you. So, Andrew, didn't mean to cut you off, go ahead. Jeff & Andrew (03:47) No, it's okay. I think that's it though, is you guys have really helped bridge that like my clinical side and love of dentistry and what I've always really enjoyed and still geek out over all the time. And you helped pull Jeff in and help him understand how he can kind of make this what he wanted to be. And I think that was something that kind of stuck with us ever since we first met y'all was that was on that weekend that we heard was Like if you're not happy in your office, there's one person to blame and it's you, right? So it's like, you have the power, you have the energy, the time to put into that and kind of make it what you want. And I guess that's where like, my word would be excited. Cause I do feel like the more that we lean in and kind of just trust our gut and do the things that we kind of really want to do, it becomes more fun. We kind of are instilling in our team what you've instilled in us to kind of take that leadership and work towards their goals and find their secret secrets that kind of stand out and really make them shine. And I think it's just, it's been really fulfilling and really exciting for us. Kiera Dent (04:57) That's amazing. And I think for both of you, I remember, I feel like there was a pivotal moment. I don't know what year it was, but I feel like there was a moment where you both just hunkered down of what do want our life to look like? What do we want our practice to be? What do we this to look like? And I feel like that was your, I call them lightning bolt moments. And I feel like it was just like, from there, I feel like that's where momentum just skyrocketed for you. And I don't know if you guys remember that from persons on the outside looking in. That's something that I really watched, but I'm just curious, like, did you feel that way? I'll start with Andrew first on this one. Did you feel that way? And if you did, like, okay, give me the thumbs up or like, yes, did you feel that way? That's question one. Let me be a better host here. Andrew, did you feel that that was something that changed for you guys in your practice? Jeff & Andrew (05:37) Yes, no, I definitely did. it is hard though for me to put pinpoint. I think I had to lean into trusting having Jeff here and having you guys help him. It just allowed me to really focus and be that dreamer that I am. I'm definitely the dreamer. He's the implementer. So I think you helped us to find roles and understand kind of where we really can help each other, you know, kind of reach those goals together. So. Yeah, I don't know the day or time, but I definitely felt like it was soon after meeting you guys and we just really felt like, okay, we can do this. it just, yeah, it's just magical. ⁓ Kiera Dent (06:14) It's truly magical. Thank you. Jeff, what about for you? Jeff & Andrew (06:18) Yeah, ⁓ I remember several moments and I think a lot of ⁓ it was like a light bulb. I remember it was, you know, the career change and all that. It was hard for me, you know, going from the scientific, you know, yeah, marine geology, marine geophysics, so like offshore to now dealing with people. Kiera Dent (06:22) you Is it geology? Am I like making that up? Jeff & Andrew (06:43) you patients, the public, it was crazy. I don't know what world I was in. But then I realized, you know, I was coming into the office. I am not enjoying coming into the office. I'm not enjoying this. And I started to see, you know, you know, at the time we called it staff or employees. And it was like that. Why are we doing what we're doing? Right. So you guys helped me realize that I'm the catalyst to change. We are. ⁓ And Kiera Dent (06:43) Yeah. It's real! Jeff & Andrew (07:11) We had past experience of being treated poorly or maybe unfairly or just feeling unfulfilled. And I started to realize we're in this industry that I'm not enjoying going to work, so nobody else is enjoying going to work. Who can change it? That's me. And then I started to notice that it felt like people in their roles and their careers within the office felt unfulfilled or underappreciated. And it's like a dental assistant isn't just a dental assistant. do the work that the dentist to allow the dentist to do his job. So without that, it's essential. So why don't we treat them like essential? So there was that moment that I walked into that door and I had you and Tiffany in my ear like, come in with a different energy, present differently. And I did, and I remember that moment. And I remember seeing people be like, whoa, this is a little different. Like, this could be a fun day. And I'm like, this is going to be a fun. career. And then that started, okay, how can I make people's roles more fulfilling? How can we create growth opportunity? How can we show them that there's opportunity in our practice and they have the power to grasp that, to have a fulfilling life? We go to work every day for eight hours or longer, you know, so if they're not fulfilled there, how are we serving the people that are serving us? Kiera Dent (08:38) That's incredible. And I think Jeff, this just highlights a lot of your leadership and like the growth I've seen in you. I remember Cranky Jeff, who did not enjoy going to the wards. Like, what is it? Yeah. Jeff & Andrew (08:45) They call him Gilbert, that's my middle name. So that's the ⁓ alias for Cranky Jeff. Kiera Dent (08:53) like it. Yeah, I do remember those days and you were not happy in this and I don't think Andrew was super happy. Andrew, you've always been like one of the most passionate dentists I've ever met, which is so fun to see you like light up when you talk about dentistry and do all the pieces. Jeff, on the other hand, I think you kind of like drug him into this like, Hey, I need you in here. Gilbert, it sounds like was the one that and then Jeff came to the scene realizing like the the space for you and Jeff, that's something I really love to highlight is I think so many leaders don't realize it's within them. Jeff & Andrew (09:01) you Yeah. Kiera Dent (09:21) because it doesn't look the way that they thought it was going to be. I just I'm excited to get into that. And I'm just curious. So you briefly mentioned you guys had this small practice in my mind. It's like purple or pink walls. Is that really true? Like inside? Jeff & Andrew (09:33) It started that way. It was like very dark green, brown, had purple. Yes, there was some magenta. Yeah. Yes. Very dark brown. Popcorn ceiling too. ⁓ Kiera Dent (09:39) knew it. It was like a dollhouse in my mind. Like it was like this like little like very short like ceilings. ⁓ Yes, not that great. I remember being like, Tiff, this is where they work. Like, okay, looks like this. Like, I mean, how could you not have fun, Jeff? There's like colors of every rainbow on all the walls for you. Like, okay. ⁓ but you guys went from this small building to now this massive practice. You've got all these team members. but something I, I'm probably going to like butcher your vision just a little bit. but I remember hearing it when you said it and it stuck with me again. I think I'll get like the gist of it, but I remember you saying like, we are going to be like, Jeff & Andrew (09:51) Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Kiera Dent (10:17) the dentist that the community chooses. Something like that. don't know how, I feel like I'm close to it, but I really loved that it was like, okay, we're gonna impact our community really largely. We want to be the place that our community chooses. And you did this whole expansion and I'm just curious, like, okay, what worked well? What didn't work well? What were like, let's just kind of go on like a fun road. I'm not gonna pick who like you guys can tag team over there, but I'm just curious of. You went from Gilbert Jeff, who's angry to this like weird house that you're in to now this like amazing business building community. Like the impact you guys have in your community is amazing. You have all these team members. Like what were the highlights? were the like walk me through? I need to know what did you do right? What did you wish you would have done? What advice do you have for other people looking to go down this journey? That's something I think you've done so well. but I think like it didn't come without a lot of learning and a lot of growth that I'd love you guys to just highlight. But also you did some things really freaking well too, so highlight that too. So ⁓ it's over to both of you, whomever wants to pick up the ball and run with it, it's yours. And tag team, because I'm sure both of you have very different perspectives on how that took place. Jeff & Andrew (11:23) Well, I can start because I think one thing for me that's been really amazing is like, really, you guys helped be our cheerleaders to say like, hey, if you stick with these things, you stick with these systems, it's really allowed us to kind of be ourselves. And in a way, that's what feels unreal. Like it feels really magical that like we get to be ourselves every day. We get to stick to like what our core values are. And it feels lucky that people appreciate that. And that shouldn't be like. rare in the world today, but it really does feel that way. So I feel really lucky to come to work. I feel lucky. get to be honest and authentic with the people around me. And I think ⁓ that's been like the biggest, coolest thing to me, like through all of this is I think having you all as cheerleaders, I was really like the biggest thing because you move into this building and increase in our team size is kind of like, that happening? And then I'm like, I'm going to go do the dentistry. You, you guys figure it out and you're like, yeah, we're to hire some people. Kiera Dent (12:17) Andrew's always pushing it off like, Jeff, I'm gonna go do this, like good luck on all the fires. No wonder you a good one. I'll put it. Jeff & Andrew (12:19) Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, can you stop being the dreamer for like a year? need a break. Stop dreaming. Come down for second. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. would say so, you know, kind of piggybacking off what we touched on earlier with elevating the team and that sort of thing. So when we did that, was kind of like positivity just keeps. Kiera Dent (12:26) He just can't stop. That's amazing. Jeff & Andrew (12:46) building, right? It's contagious. People want to be around it. People like it. They want to feel that way. So we did some work internally with the team and then we realized the team likes it. You know, this is real, you know? So then that immediately transfers to the patients and then to the community. So there's kind of like the little trickle effect there. So when patients start to come in and they're like, this is kind of fun. Everybody enjoys their job. I enjoy coming here. ⁓ or when I walk in, I feel happy, you know? It's like, that's the vibe we wanted and that Andrew and Dr. Parks, their dental work is exceptional. So pair it with that. And then the word gets out and it just continues to snowball. So as that's happening, we're like, maybe we should expand. Okay, so I think we can take on somebody else. Then we were, the plans kind of evolved and there was the first plan was to ⁓ double the size of the building that we were in. Um, but then COVID hit. pre COVID we're like, we're going to do this. Let's plan it. We've got enough land to double the building. Let's get all this done. We actually used our waiting room as an extra spare room because we are kind of outgrowing our space. So business was getting bigger, but the project was not moving along at all. So we cut into the waiting room and we made six rooms and we're like, can we sustain this? Yes. We sustained it immediately. So, um, Kiera Dent (14:04) Yeah. Clever. Jeff & Andrew (14:14) After COVID hit, said, shoot, what are we going to do? Like, we can't afford this expansion anymore. And then what does the timeline look like that just went out the window? we're like, let's pivot. If we were going to spend X amount of dollars here for this, it ended up being ⁓ about 2000 workable square feet that we would add to the practice. ⁓ So we started looking at, there buildings for sale around? And we kind of had a vision a long time ago. Kiera Dent (14:37) Mm-hmm. Jeff & Andrew (14:45) even before considering moving the practice itself, like there's some cool buildings in our community that could look beautiful. ⁓ So maybe we look into some of those ugly ones and that's what we end up doing. So we identified a building that was way bigger than what we needed. ⁓ However, the thing that we identified was the plumbing was around the exterior between the levels. So we thought that's super expensive. Kiera Dent (14:58) Hahaha art. Jeff & Andrew (15:13) you know, ground up. So let's utilize some of this plumbing. We interviewed ⁓ several contractors. We chose one to do the original project expanding that building, but we chose another for this project because of our interview. So it took ⁓ a lot of back and forth to figure out who's going to work best with us and who's really going to build in some cost savings. Like with the building that we did buy, We made sure that the contractor that we hired was going to retain as much material as they could. We had solid doors. like, save the doors. We'll paint them or reuse them. I don't want to buy a ton of new doors. we were able, the relationship started well. It ended well also, but that was the building blocks. Like, are you going to work with me or are you going to be like, let's tear it down and start fresh to make a buck? ⁓ Kiera Dent (15:53) Yeah. Mm-hmm. Jeff & Andrew (16:07) So that was a huge win. So we made a really good relationship with the contractor there. And then ⁓ he guided us through. And I think, you know, in the planning stage, architecture and engineering took a lot. And those were, ⁓ those were really the holdup, pretty much the engineer. So I would say stress on the engineering part first, because it's hard to make changes later, just because they don't typically work as fast, I guess. Kiera Dent (16:33) for sure. That's true. ⁓ Jeff & Andrew (16:36) takes longer, or in our case it was. But ⁓ I mean, it might seem like you're being redundant about layout and switches and these sort of things. ⁓ It's not. Visit the practice as many times as you can while it's in construction. Talk to everybody on a day-to-day basis. I popped in here so many times and was like, I don't like where that light is, or people don't always listen. it... stinks to be like, hey, I prepared all this stuff and this is what I want done. This is where I want everything and nobody looks at it. So it's like, you got to be there in person and kind of guide them. ⁓ Yeah, well, I also kind of I think you kind of point out like to make is ⁓ we really stuck to like our our goals and just ambition and just knowing that like, hey, we're just doing good things. And we're just trying to do good for the community. And like, how can we expand? And it was scary at times expansion. It was always very scary till we got here. Like we say, jokingly, when we were at the old building and we come over here, even bringing the staff, you could tell everybody's like, what the heck, this place is really big. We're going to lose each other like Kiera Dent (17:36) As always. Jeff & Andrew (17:46) We're not going to hear in our old office, I could hear our front desk and I could actually like tell them like, actually don't do that. You know, like I can correct people from like the room, you know, down the hallway and here it is a lot more space, but it's like, once we got here, we're like, how the heck did we all fit there? And then you just quickly fill the space and it's really, it's exciting. Cause yeah, I don't know. ⁓ you just gotta really like trust in, ⁓ your, process and your values and what you're working towards. And I do feel like it has been. Kiera Dent (17:46) Hmm? Jeff & Andrew (18:15) building up, like we're going to celebrate our 10th year in practice next year. And I think that's what feels unreal. Oh my God, it's this year. next year. Yeah. Next year. Sorry. Oh, year. Yeah. Oh, see? Don't even know. We need a break. But it just flies by, right? Like it's just... Yeah, we celebrate every year. For sure. And I think that is like, it is just kind of in a way, you just kind of stick to like little goals, kind of just keep it moving those like, hey, how can we make this better? What can we do? Oh, we need space. How do we solve that problem? Kiera Dent (18:26) I don't know, it's just not dirty. Pop this celebration all the years. ⁓ Jeff & Andrew (18:43) and necessity just helped kind of push us along. And yeah, I think if we would have done the building before COVID, we probably would still be in our old office and kind of wishing we had more space. But in a weird way, I'm really happy that things worked out the way they did. ⁓ yeah, we've ended up here. So it's been amazing. I'd say on a team perspective too, like the team was really scared to be honest, like moving over here. There were concerns. ⁓ But... ⁓ Kiera Dent (18:58) always. Jeff & Andrew (19:10) You know, when we said it first, were like, we're do, we're, we're going to do this instead. And they were like, Oh, so I think keeping them regularly informed and kind of showing them the things that we're doing. like, we made them a part of the process so they could be excited about it. We took them to visit when milestones were done. We'd like, Hey, meet over there. We'll, we'll talk about it. Um, we kept them involved in the process. And I mean, we we weren't like financially open about all of the things, but it was nice to be able to like, listen, we've got to buy. cabinets and cabinets cost this much money. You know what I mean? So ⁓ we could do it, but we have to do this. So we want to take care of it too. So it instilled value and it's still excitement. And then helping, you know, getting votes on like color choices or that sort of thing involved them. And then before the move, they were really nervous about what it was going to be like in a space as large bringing on new team members. So with the help from y'all Tiffany, we Kiera Dent (19:42) Yeah, yeah. huh. Jeff & Andrew (20:08) We were like, okay, everybody write down what the specific concerns are. And then we're going to talk about how we're going to combat that. ⁓ So we're going to prep you with like the solution before a problem even occurs. And that was, that was helpful. And then we did move in one weekend, long weekend ourselves with some movers. It was crazy. And everybody pitched in and everybody just had fun doing it. And it was Labor Day weekend, so we had an extra day. Yeah. Kiera Dent (20:20) So smart. Amazing. You're like, okay, we'll do it. I mean, Labor Day seems very fitting. It's labor, it's very intensive. Jeff & Andrew (20:41) I know, right? Yeah. But we didn't require anybody. like, hey, we're doing this. Like nobody's required to, but if you want to, we would love it and we'll make it fun. And it was good. then like, what, less than a month after we got slammed at the hurricane in North Carolina, the mountain. So that was a hurdle. We had a generator that was took the longest to get in the last thing installed. One the expensive things we bought and they didn't hook it up. Because the gas inspection. Kiera Dent (20:49) and Shoot. Uh-huh. Thank Jeff & Andrew (21:11) So double check your inspections, make sure the gas inspection is ⁓ like. Kiera Dent (21:14) Yes. Yeah, make sure it's actually all prepped for in case of hurricane. But like, kudos to you guys. Like, I'm so proud of you and to hear, I love the two different perspectives. And I think something I hear is you are true to yourselves. want like, knowing that you want to be, like I said, I probably like butchered your vision just a little bit. Sorry on that. Like being the dentist that the community chooses and being the place that we can serve them. Well, you can only serve so many patients in six ops, which is like a makeshift six op. We were like five, realistically five and a half. So, Jeff & Andrew (21:21) Yeah. Kiera Dent (21:48) It's like, it's not like, if you build them, they will come. You guys already knew you had made this footprint. You knew what you wanted to do. I feel like you guys really hunkered in. You're like, we're going to be a part of this community. This is where we want to be. We want to change the lives of our employees. And I feel like in doing so, I think that almost gave you the, the steam. It's not like something I really love about both of you is on paper, you guys have really sexy numbers that I'm always like, love having them as clients. Like great job over there. Jeff & Andrew (22:14) Yeah. Kiera Dent (22:15) But as human beings, mean, right? As a consultant, you're like, all right, like, look at my perfect, like, model students over here. Well, you guys are one of them. And I'm really proud of the numbers you put up, and I'm proud of the dentistry you do. But the piece is you grew because you wanted to for the impact. You didn't grow for the ego associated with it. And I think that that's so paramount because I think that that's why you guys still are happy. I think that's why you love coming to work. going through that mayhem, if it's not your passion project, if it's not something you really want to do to serve and to give back and to have a bigger vision beyond the dollar signs, I think the dollar signs for you were secondary and the community and the impact was number one. And I think that's why, like, of course you got to pay for it. I mean, there's no doubt about that. I mean, maybe you guys are truly children of like the billionaires and who knows what world and I didn't know that about you. I'm pretty confident you're not yourself made of where you are over there, but like. Jeff & Andrew (23:01) No. ⁓ Kiera Dent (23:06) Looking at that, feel like that's a huge probably differentiator of your success because it was built from passion, love, and a desire to give back while also being incredibly good. Like Andrew, you're an amazing clinician. And I think that having, like you said, Jeff, top-notch dentistry, Jeff, you're amazing at building this culture and this community of people that love and serve. I think combine that together, then want to give it back to your community. I feel like your success was inevitable and I'm just really proud of you. And Jeff, to hear about going to the inspections, I'm like, yeah, good for you because How annoying is it when you walk in, like my husband and when we were building our house, they were gonna put our huge AC unit on the one side of our house that I could actually put like planter boxes and have stairs. And I was like, why don't we just move this over here? My husband tells me all the time, like, Kiera, that was one of your best moves. And I'm like, yes, because the function and the flow, like it would have been all of our neighbors. Where do you think their AC unit is? Right in the middle of the only usable space on the side of the house and they all put it. And I'm like, you're welcome. Or like little things like, like all of it. Jeff & Andrew (23:56) Yeah, everything. Yeah. Yeah. Kiera Dent (24:03) And so just like making it a space that you wanna be in that you're proud of, I just really love and like hearing, I mean, you had an obstacle right after you started and I think some people could have gotten really down, but it's like, no, we built something bigger. It's not like a burn and churn. You guys wanna be there for the long haul. You want this to be a place you're proud of and I think that that just bleeds through. So I'm really proud of you and thanks for sharing that journey. And I wanna pivot to highlight both of you just a smidge because Andrew, I think you do something really special. and you're able to mentor doctors really well. And I think that this is something that not all dentists are able to do. And Jeff, you're more than welcome to chime in on anything. Like at this point, guys, you should compliment one another. mean, hello, let me just make your life even better for you. But Andrew, can you walk us through, what do you feel are some of the things you do so superior? Like, I want you to brag a little bit. This is a moment where Kiera Dent is so freaking proud of you. Tiff is proud of you. Our company is proud of you. ⁓ because I think other people want to know how to do this. So I almost want to peel back the curtain just a little bit on what are some of the things you do really well in assembly? Like I said, Jeff, chime in too. Then we're going to reverse. We're going to talk about Jeff and Andrew, you can chime in on him. So like both of you can just schmooze each other tonight as well. You guys are going to have an amazing night post podcast. You're welcome. All right. But truly, Andrew, what are some of the things you feel set in part? Jeff & Andrew (25:11) Yeah, thank you. Well, that leads into a great, was going to say, like, I feel really lucky to have Jeff, obviously. And I know not everybody has a Jeff or can trust someone as much as I trust Jeff. But I think obviously it can be very hard on our marriage. So that's one side note. And I know like a lot of couples that that happens. But I think I have to always. Right? know. Two years ago, I was worried. And in gay years, that's like 40 years. Kiera Dent (25:38) I'm so proud of you. 10 years in and you still, I think, love each other, which is amazing. I think everybody is. You're like, okay. But it's one of those things also though, I will say, like throwing it out to couples, when couples go through what you have gone through and you're able to like be through the thick and the thin of it, I will also give advice. Like when I watched people go through dental school, and Andrew, I'm sure you saw this, I was so angry at so many of our like friends that went through. Jeff & Andrew (25:52) you Kiera Dent (26:05) Like they went through the residencies, they got to the end and I'm like, you freaking made it. And that's when they get divorced. And I'm like, Oh, if you're to get divorced, get divorced during the hard times, but like you have made it. You've made it. And now it's like, it's a matter of like, we bonded together, we grew together. And I think like making sure that stays a priority in your marriage. You guys remember I was a marriage and finally therapist prior to this. Like that was my thing. I like, Oh, don't give up on what you like. You went through the freaking hardest years together. Now it's like, enjoy this amazing life we built together. Jeff & Andrew (26:10) Yeah. Right, yeah. All right. Yeah. Yeah Kiera Dent (26:35) and don't lose sight of how grateful we are for one another. anyway, like off my I hope all of you see the potential within yourselves and ⁓ I'd love to be a part of your story and your journey. So reach out, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. And as always, thanks for listening and I'll catch you next time on The Dental Team A Podcast.
Just Shoot It: A Podcast about Filmmaking, Screenwriting and Directing
The directing duo from "Don't Tell Larry" detail their eight-year journey to turn the phrase, "Don't Tell Larry", into a world, a web series, and feature starring Eg Begley., Jr., Dot-Marie Jones, Patty Guggenheim, and Kiel Kennedy. And they chat with Matt and Oren about how their background in unscripted TV prepared them but also left gaps when it came to making the movie they wanted to make, without EPs steering them off-track.From 300 pitches to turning down lucrative investors, the pandemic, and choosing to shoot in Dallas, the guys explore all the challenges of making an indie film, and adhering to high standards, all while influencers walk away with the fees that filmmakers traditionally could garner from commercial work. And other filmmakers like, Danny Gervitz's film "The Man in the Photo" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6WpwmPe9Ks, "Skinamarink" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APQqilSTxz0 and forgoing distributors and theatrical releases, in favor of going straight to YouTube.Tell them your thoughts on Instagram @dtlthemovie @gregporper @jschimke---Get a great deal on Magic Mind! https://magicmind.com/shootitjune NEW LINK!!Matt's Endorsement: "No Hard Feelings" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15671028/Oren's Endorsement: Eric Chien, the magician https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWO5-0OYMwcGreg's Endorsement: The book "Day Trading Attention: How to Actually Build Brand and Sales in the New Social Media World." by Gary Vaynerchuk https://garyvaynerchuk.com/attention/John's Endorsement: DaVinci Resolve updated their Edit page and it's wonderful.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1074: We're diving into CDK's post-attack transformation, Waymo's bold NYC ambitions, and China's booming AI-driven live commerce, where digital humans are outselling their creators.Show Notes with links:A year after cyberattacks rocked the industry and CDK Global, the focus has shifted from crisis response to long-term resilience — though not all lessons stuck.Two cyberattacks forced CDK's DMS offline for two weeks, disrupting operations at 15,000 dealerships and costing over $1 billion in sales.Many groups invested heavily in cybersecurity and revised disaster recovery plans as a result, with leaders like Judy Serra and Joe Shaker emphasizing staff training and consultant support as critical steps forward.Helion's Erik Nachbahr noted some dealers quickly reverted to old habits, citing a recent DMS switch that went live without basic protections like multifactor authentication — a move he called unacceptable.CEO Brian MacDonald says CDK is now “stronger than ever,” with deeper investments in security, R&D, and customer experience, saying “Over the past year, we've also seen record customer renewals.”Joe Shaker of Shaker Auto Group and TruVideo said, “It could happen to anyone. My feelings were that after going through what they've gone through and after looking at every nook and cranny of their business for security that [CDK] may be the most secure.”Waymo is preparing to re-enter New York City to map and test its autonomous vehicles — with human drivers — as it eyes a major expansion into one of the most complex and coveted markets in the U.S.Waymo is returning to NYC for the first time since 2021 to resume mapping and testing, though humans will remain behind the wheel due to state law.The company is lobbying for legal changes and applying for a permit to operate in Manhattan with safety specialists in the driver seat.In a groundbreaking move, Baidu aired a 6-hour shopping livestream led entirely by AI-generated digital humans modeled after popular host Luo Yonghao — and it crushed human-led benchmarks.The broadcast introduced 133 products with AI versions of Luo and a co-host responding to viewer comments in real time.The digital duo generated $7.6 million in sales, outperforming Luo's real past performance in just 26 minutes.China's live commerce market hit $695 billion in 2023, and Baidu now counts over 100,000 active digital human hosts, with the company saying digital humans can cut broadcast costs by 80% and boost sales by 62%.“To be honest, I was really shocked by the effectiveness of this digital human,” Luo said post-show, calling it “reality.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1073: Six EVs crack the top 10 of Cars.com's American-Made Index, Tesla pauses Cybertruck and Model Y production, and the U.S. Senate gives crypto a win with new stablecoin regulations, clearing the path for mainstream adoption.Electric vehicles are leading the charge in U.S. manufacturing impact, as revealed by Cars.com's 2025 American-Made Index. For the first time, EVs make up the majority of the top 10, signaling how deeply electrification is taking root on American soil—even as OEMs recalibrate their long-term EV strategies.The top 10 Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X, Jeep Gladiator, Kia EV6, Honda Ridgeline, Honda Odyssey, Honda Passport, VW ID.4.The index ranks vehicles based on five key factors: percentage of U.S. and Canadian parts, final assembly location, country of origin for engines and transmissions, and the size of the automaker's U.S. manufacturing workforceLead researcher Patrick Masterson said, “Buying American-made often means looking beyond traditional nameplates. You don't always know what's built in your backyard unless someone connects the dots.”Tesla is halting its Cybertruck and Model Y production lines at the Austin Gigafactory during the July 4 week, timing the pause with its much-anticipated robotaxi debut in the same city.The one-week shutdown, starting June 30, will allow for line maintenance and voluntary worker training.This marks at least the third production pause in a year for Austin, following previous stoppages in May and December.Tesla says the pause will help ramp up output, though it hasn't specified which lines will see gains.In parallel, Tesla is preparing to launch its first robotaxi rides using Model Ys, with Elon Musk saying “We are being super paranoid about safety, so the [June 22 launch] date could shift,”Musk added that by June 28, the vehicles would be capable of driving themselves from the factory directly to a customer's home.The U.S. Senate has approved a bill creating the first federal regulatory framework for stablecoins, cryptocurrencies designed to maintain a fixed value—typically 1:1 to the U.S. dollar. This marks a significant step forward for digital asset adoption and oversight.The GENIUS Act passed with bipartisan support, 68–30, and now moves to the House for final approval before it can be signed into law.The bill would require stablecoins to be fully backed by liquid assets like U.S. dollars and short-term Treasuries, with monthly public reserve disclosures.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Welcome back to Music Maniacs W/ Sight After Dark! If there is one thing we're sure of, its that music (and life) is constantly changing.

We thought we were just going kayaking with a group of young adults facing cancer and chronic illness. What we didn't expect was how much First Descents—and its late CEO Ryan O'Donoghue—would completely reshape the way we think about healing, connection, and purpose. This week, we're reflecting on that powerful experience and the legacy Ryan left behind. Also: I get dragged into a dating game scenario, and we talk about how being on call might just be the worst setup for a first date. Ever. Takeaways: A behind-the-scenes look at our week with First Descents—and how it cracked us open. The incredible impact of Ryan O'Donoghue and why his sudden death hit so hard. What it feels like to watch people reclaim joy after trauma. A wildly uncomfortable dating game moment you don't want to miss.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1072: Ferrari eases off the EV pedal, LAZ Parking launches a game-changing 50,000-charger rollout, and TikTok's AI influencers threaten to upend the creator economy. Show Notes with links:Welcome to the franchise side, Benji Urra! A seasoned dealer since 1985, Benji is entering the franchise world after nearly 40 years in the independent auto business.He acquired Bravo Nissan of Victoria, TX, from Bravo Autos' Raymond Palacios and Alex Flores.Even the prancing horse isn't immune to the EV slowdown. Ferrari is postponing its second electric vehicle—originally planned for 2026—by at least two years, signaling ongoing hesitance in the high-performance luxury EV market.Ferrari's first EV, a larger, atypical model co-designed by ex-Apple design chief Jony Ive, will debut in October with 2026 deliveries starting at over $500,000; it's seen more as a symbolic milestone than a volume play.Internally, the second EV is viewed as the true strategic launch, with targets of 5,000–6,000 units over five years.That second model has now been delayed twice, with no real demand yet from Ferrari's core enthusiast base.The delay also gives Ferrari time to refine its proprietary EV tech while competitors like Lamborghini, Porsche, and Maserati similarly reevaluate or scale back their EV timelines.“Real, sustainable demand is non-existent for an electric sports car,” said a source close to the matter.In one of the largest EV infrastructure deployments in North America, LAZ Parking is installing 50,000 Level 2 chargers at its facilities—bringing EV access directly into the daily routines of city dwellers and commuters.The rollout spans over 4,000 locations across 43 states and 536 cities, integrating charging into where people live, work, and park.LAZ is partnering with Epic Charging and Autel Energy, with Autel providing the preferred hardware for the project.The initiative avoids the highway model of fast-charging stops, instead embedding EV access into residential and urban life.TikTok is stepping deeper into the AI marketing game, unveiling new tools that let brands generate influencer-style videos using synthetic avatars—potentially redefining who gets paid to promote.The Symphony AI ads platform now lets advertisers create virtual avatars that model clothes, demo apps, and showcase products.These avatars mimic human influencers in both look and behavior, offering content at scale without contracts or shoot days.For brands, it means lower costs and fasteJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
What does the future of logistics really look like? In this episode, host Blythe Milligan shares details on her recent behind-the-scenes tour of DHL's Export Facility and Innovation Center in Chicago. From sorting 10,000 packages an hour with only a dozen employees to integrating robotics and generative AI, the tour demonstrates how tech and transparency are reshaping the supply chain. This episode truly highlights how one of the world's largest logistics companies is using automation to drive efficiency and scale. Key takeaways: DHL's export facility in Chicago can process up to 10,000 packages per hour with just 12 employees on the floor. Robotics like Robust AI and Boston Dynamics' Spot are already being tested in real-world warehouse environments. The company is rolling out a global generative AI hub with over 75,000 users across 140 countries. AI tools now handle customs processing at massive scale, including 35 million customs entries. New delivery methods like e-bikes from Rytle aim to tackle the challenges of last-mile logistics in dense urban areas.LINKS:DHL's WebsiteDHL's Logistics Trend RadarWATCH THE FULL EPISODE HEREFeedback?

Joseph Weigel from the Men With Chests podcast joins me to talk about NICE Alchemy! By which I don't mean, "Whoa, that was some really sweet alchemy you were doing just now, dude! NICE!" But rather, the connection between science and magic as practiced by the National Institute for Co-ordinated Experiments (N.I.C.E.) in C.S. Lewis' final novel in his space trilogy, That Hideous Strength. It's weird stuff. And Merlin's involved, naturally. That guy. This is part discussion, part interview, because Joseph has recently published an article in Sehnsucht about connections between the N.I.C.E.'s experiments and alchemy. Read it here: https://digitalcommons.georgefox.edu/cslewisjournal/vol18/iss1/11/ Also, be on the lookout for Joseph's forthcoming book, Planet Thulcandra.

In this episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, we share our thoughts on why a good spouse doesn't deserve to be in a "non intimate" marriage. We are not just talking about sexual intimacy, but also emotional intimacy, because intimacy is not just a bonus in marriage, it is a CORE part of marriage.It's not at all selfish to want sex or affection. It's human. A good spouse who pours into the marriage emotionally and physically shouldn't be told to “just deal with it” if their needs go unmet. A good spouse deserves mutual care—not emotional starvation or punishment through neglect. We also talk about the negative impacts to the relationship when intimacy is not prioritized in the relationship.

In this no-holds-barred Daily Drop, Jared rips through the absurdity of base security theater, why our military sales process might as well be faxed from 1996, and why trusting SpaceX while threatening to cancel their contracts is peak DoD dysfunction.Also—Space Force can't track satellites if you build a Starbucks next to the antenna, China's nukes are multiplying like rabbits, and apparently 100% ID checks are optional now?

Hey mama, This week's Monday Mindset is such an important one… especially if you've been feeling like you're doing all the things but still missing real connection with your kids. We're kicking off the week with this quote by Dr. A. Whitham: “Children spell love… T-I-M-E.” In this episode, I'm sharing how small, intentional moments of presence… even just 10 minutes a day… can completely shift your relationship with your child. Because it's not about elaborate plans or carving out hours you don't have. It's about putting your phone down, tuning into the moment, and being truly present…even in the chaos. Here's what I'm talking about: ✔️ Why quality time doesn't have to mean “a lot of time” ✔️ How to create meaningful micro-moments (that fit into your real life) ✔️ My favorite connection rituals… from sock-sorting chats to bedtime “rose and thorn” ✔️ Why your full attention… even for 10 minutes… can fill your child's emotional tank ✔️ A mindset shift that helps you ditch the guilt and show up with intention

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1071: In today's episode, we unpack April's surprising EV registration drop, spotlight top dealership strategies driving service and parts growth, and break down a fresh consumer sentiment boost that still comes with caution.Automotive News' Top 100 Service and Parts Dealer Groups show that there's no single path to growing service and parts revenue—but that tailored strategies, tech investments, and a laser focus on training can deliver huge results.Murgado Automotive boosted revenue 45% by empowering service directors and emphasizing speed, transparency, and convenience.Holman's 48% increase stemmed from employee training, technician retention, and use of myKaarma software across all stores.Kunes Auto Group drove a 33% bump through acquisitions and leveraging DealerFenix to standardize metrics and processes.All three groups focused on increasing customer-pay work, tire sales, and throughput efficiency.“It's all the little things that add up to the big things later on,” said Murgado CEO Mario Murgado.Top 10 - Autonation, Penske, Lithia, Hendrick, Asbury, Group 1, Sonic, Morgan, Holman, OurismanOther friends - 13 - McGovern, 27 - Ciocca, 33- RML, 35 - Bergstrom, 44 - Premier Automotive, 47 - Walser, 66 - Sam Pack, 69 - CMA, 74 - RohrmanFor the first time in over a year, U.S. electric vehicle registrations fell in April. While some brands like Chevrolet saw gains, overall adoption continues to hit a ceiling amid consumer hesitation.EV registrations dropped 4.4% year-over-year to 97,833, marking a 6.6% market share.Tesla saw a 16% decline, with major drops in Model Y and Cybertruck registrations.Chevrolet more than tripled its numbers, led by strong demand for the Equinox and Blazer EVs.S&P's Tom Libby notes the EV segment is hitting a “demand ceiling” around 5,000 units/month per model.“There's a lot of influences working against EVs right now,” Libby said, citing charging concerns and wavering government support.After half a year of sliding confidence, American consumers are feeling a bit more upbeat. A new report shows a sizable sentiment jump in June—but lingering doubts about the broader economy are hard to ignore.According to the University of Michigan, consumer sentiment rose 15.9% from May to 60.5, the highest level since December 2024.The increase was across age, income, region, and political affiliation, with expectations for both short and long-term business conditions seeing the steepest gains.Analysts credit a perceived easing of tariff pressure and slowing inflation for the positive shift.However, consumer sentiment, opinions on current economic conditions, and consumer expectations for the future are all still down YoY“Despite this month's notable improvement, consumers remain guarded and concJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
Welcome to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In today's episode, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Dr. Sarah Lea, a family and addiction medicine physician based in Victoria, BC, to discuss her deeply personal and transformative journey through medicine. Together, they dive into Dr. Lea's experiences navigating medical training, motherhood, and a rewarding but complex clinical career—including her candid account of facing and working through burnout. Dr. Lea shares how she balanced demanding clinical roles, built an innovative perinatal addiction medicine program, and ultimately made tough decisions to prioritize her well-being and her family. Listeners will hear about the support systems and strategies she used, like coaching, therapy, and honest conversations at home, as well as her passion for supporting other physicians facing burnout. Plus, Dr. Lea discusses her ongoing work in coaching, retreats, and her own podcast—all aimed at helping clinicians lead more sustainable and fulfilling lives. If you're looking for inspiration, practical tools, and validation that you're not alone in the challenges of practicing medicine, you won't want to miss this insightful and heartfelt episode. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Burnout is often invisible on the outside: Lea describes how, even while “holding it together” at work, burnout showed up at home—as irritability, distraction, and feeling disconnected from family. It's a powerful reminder to check in with how we're actually feeling, not just performing. Support and coaching are essential tools: For Dr. Lea, reaching out to a coach and counselor helped her gain clarity and prioritize her needs, both professionally and personally. Finding or building your support system can be career-saving. Teamwork matters—at home and at work: Whether it's sharing responsibilities with a partner or building multi-disciplinary teams in healthcare, sustainability comes from collaboration. Delegating tasks and honest conversations can lighten the load for everyone. Meet Dr. Sarah Lea: Dr. Sarah A. Lea is a family and addiction medicine physician, executive coach, and wellness champion based in Victoria, BC. With a background in women's health and over a decade in clinical practice, she blends science, storytelling, and soul in her talks and workshops. Whether she's coaching burned-out docs, speaking on perinatal addiction, or helping teams build real-deal resilience, Sarah brings both the evidence and the empathy. She's also a certified meditation instructor and TEDx speaker who believes that well-being is the secret sauce to sustainable healthcare—and she's on a mission to help others lead with energy, authenticity, and heart. -------------- Would you like to view a transcript of this episode?

The ordeal culminated in a terrifying night where mysterious creatures wreaked havoc on their camp.Later, Fred shares another tale from Jesse, a woman who, in her teens, experienced a harrowing encounter with a 'Hairy Man' while picnicking with cousins in the Bristol Bay area.

Send us a textI wanted to start the show today with a disclaimer. I do not and never have condoned criminal behavior. I was a cop for 25 years, and my heart is with the men and women who enforce the law and bring criminals to justice. That being said, I wanted to bring you, the listener/viewer, a different perspective. One from an unapologetic outlaw living out the last chapters of his life (who knows, maybe he will live to a 100). I think it's good to see both sides of the coin. I may not agree with everything he says or stands for, but we can sit down and have a civilized conversation, something that is desperately missing in today's society, I think. So, my guest on today's show George Christie, has spent some time in prison and was the president of the Ventura Chapter of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club from 1978 to 2011. In 2011 he walked away from the Hells Angels and resigned his membership. A short time later, the club turned their backs on him and considered him in ‘bad standing,' which is a kick in the gut for someone who dedicated his life to the outlaw club. It's kind of like it never happened. George's life is like something out of a movie. He has gone to war with rival bike gangs like the Outlaws and Mongols and has had at least two contracts out to kill him. He was in the hot seat on the news show 60 Minutes, where he was grilled by Mike Wallace. He spent a year in solitary confinement and also carried the Olympic torch for the 1984 games in Los Angeles and had a blowup with the Kennedys. One thing is for sure: George is not boring! Please enjoy part one of my interview with George Christie.In today's episode we discuss:· Lessons learned from coming from an immigrant family.· Joining the Marines and later working for the Department of Defense. · Deciding to devote his life to the Hells Angels. · The process and initiation for becoming a Hells Angel.· How George was elected club president in a short amount of time. · Being the spokesman for the Hells Angels.· There is nothing more important to a member of the Hells Angels than the club. Everything else takes a back seat. How did he function like that? There is work, spirituality, marriage, kids, and friends. They all play second fiddle if you're an Angel.· Carrying the Olympic torch. Feuding with the Kennedys/Shriver's and winning! All of this and more on today's episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.Ride over to George's website to learn more about him and his books!Check out the new Cops and Writers YouTube channel!Check out my newest book, The Good Collar (Michael Quinn Vigilante Justice Series Book 1)!!!!!Enjoy the Cops and Writers book series.Please visit the Cops and Writers website.What would you do if you lost the one you loved the most?
