This week, Shat The Movies heads into the Pacific Northwest wilderness with Shoot to Kill, the late-'80s thriller that blends serial killers, mountain survival, and peak "competent adult movie" energy. Starring Sidney Poitier, Tom Berenger, and Kirstie Alley, this 1988 sleeper feels like the kind of grown-up studio thriller Hollywood simply doesn't make anymore. Gene and Big D break down Poitier's no-nonsense authority, Berenger's quietly unhinged menace, and Kirstie Alley's refreshingly capable romantic lead. Along the way, they discuss outdoorsy masculinity, Reagan-era law enforcement vibes, and why this movie works so well despite flying completely under the pop-culture radar. Is Shoot to Kill an overlooked gem of '80s thrillers—or just a solid, workmanlike chase movie elevated by great casting and real stakes? Lace up your hiking boots and find out.

In this week's episode of the Big Shot Bob Pod, Robert 'Big Shot Bob' Horry and his co-hosts dive into a lively sports discussion. The episode kicks off with a debate on the NBA Rookie of the Year contenders, Cooper Flagg and Kon Knueppel, comparing the fierce competition to historic rookie races like LeBron vs. Carmelo, and Jason Kidd vs. Grant Hill. They lean towards Kon Knueppel due to his impressive performance and team impact, despite both rookies having similar records.   The conversation then shifts to the Charlotte Hornets' surprising season performance. The hosts analyze the unexpected success and contributions from players like Brandon Miller and Kon Knueppel, focusing on how the team has exceeded expectations. They discuss the importance of veteran leadership and the challenges of maintaining consistency and seriousness on a young team. The potential for future growth and the cultural impact of the Hornets becoming a relevant NBA franchise again is evaluated.   The show wraps up with some fun Super Bowl prop bets, ranging from the color of the Gatorade bath to the length of the National Anthem and various game outcomes. The hosts also touch on personal anecdotes about going bald and maintaining appearances as they age.

This episode is a tough one. I start by talking about the killing of Alex Preti and Renee Good in Minneapolis and why it's been sitting so heavily with me as a physician, a parent, and a human being trying to make sense of what's happening in this country. Then I focus on something concrete I can do: explain what pepper spray and tear gas actually do to your eyes and how to protect yourself if you're exposed. From corneal abrasions to scarring and vision loss, I walk through what ophthalmologists see after chemical exposure and what actually helps in the moment. It's a heavy episode, but it's also a practical one, focused on safety, science, and how we take care of each other when things feel out of control. Takeaways: What pepper spray actually does to the cornea and why most people recover, but some don't. Why oil-based chemicals change how you should wash your eyes after exposure. The safest way to irrigate your eyes in the real world when saline and medical tools aren't available. Why putting milk, yogurt, or random substances in your eyes can make things worse, not better. The emerging, conflicting data on GLP-1 medications, higher risk for ischemic optic neuropathy, but a lower risk of dry macular degeneration and why medicine lives in the gray.

Producer Jonathan Burns https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanaburns talks about his methods for selecting the vibe that he presents to brands and agencies. And the different considerations that drive his every choice from kraft, to restaurants, crew decisions, and more.Matt and Oren have worked with Jonathan on multiple occasions. And they talk about what separates a production manager who's graduated “in title” to producer, from a producer who really can be more than a better production coordinator, and box checker.It's being good at being client-facing. And as an expert, Jonathan has gained a lot of knowledge about ways in which directors lose clients. And there are some missteps you'll want to avoid.How can you be compromising and easy to work with, and still be a commercial director that gets asked back? Should you do animatics, and does anyone care? What does it mean to stand up for your vision and not be a pain in the a** director?If you've been dying for some mentorship as a commercial director, you won't want to miss this episode!Connect with Jonathan on IG: @jburnsfilm---Help Matts' film: https://wefunder.com/badfeelingHelp our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/JustShootItPodMatt's Endorsement: Klizia 97 Stapler https://www.amazon.com/s?srs=20289756011&rh=p_89%3AEllepiOren's Endorsement: GQ Jordan Nutrition's recipe on Instagram for a power bar.

Host Seth Swerczek is joined by Preston Lentfer and Matt Ritchie to break down how competitive shooting disciplines like NRL Hunter, PRS, and even pistol matches translate into better hunting skills. From gear familiarity and shooting positions to time pressure and mental prep, the crew explores how competition sharpens the skills that matter most when it's time to take the shot in the field.

On today's Flyover Conservatives Show, we sat down with Mark Mitchell, head pollster at Rasmussen Reports, to break down what Americans actually think about Donald Trump, media trust, immigration, and the growing divide between the public and major institutions. We examine how polling data reveals a massive gap between the media narrative and real public opinion, including shifting views among younger voters and independents. Mark explains why the numbers show a trust collapse in institutions, rising demand for accountability, and why the data may point to a major political realignment ahead.TO WATCH ALL FLYOVER CONTENT: www.theflyoverapp.comFollow and Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFlyoverConservativesShowMark MitchellWEBSITE: www.rasmussenreports.comYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@rasmussen_poll X: https://x.com/honestpollster Mark Mitchell is the Head Pollster at Rasmussen Reports, one of America's most recognized independent polling firms.

It's Heart Month, so we went straight to the top and invited Dr. Stacy Rosen, Volunteer President of the American Heart Association, to help us answer one simple question: What actually keeps your heart healthy… and what's just noise? We talk about why 80% of heart attacks and strokes are preventable, what the AHA's Life's Essential 8 really looks like in real life (spoiler: you're still allowed to eat cookies), and why sleep, movement, and food matter way more than internet “biohacks.” We also break down cholesterol confusion, what LDL actually does, why statins aren't the villain they're made out to be, what LP(a) is, and why “just eat better” isn't always enough. Along the way, I get gently scolded for occasionally forgetting my statin. Fair. Then we dive into women's heart health, why medicine was built around male bodies, how heart disease shows up differently in women, and why pregnancy history, menopause, and hormones matter more than most people realize. And finally, we talk CPR and why bystanders save lives, why cardiac arrest so often happens at home, how kids are affected more than we think, and why learning CPR is one of the most powerful things a regular person can do. Takeaways: Most Heart Disease Is Preventable: Small, consistent habits beat extreme overhauls every time. Cholesterol Isn't Simple: LDL matters most, statins work, and LP(a) is the genetic risk more people should know about. Women Aren't Small Men: Heart disease presents differently, and women have been under-studied for decades. Sleep Is Not Optional: Chronic sleep deprivation quietly raises your risk for heart disease and stroke. CPR Saves Lives: Especially at home, where most cardiac arrests actually happen.

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! Happy Women Physician Day! In this special episode, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Dr. Sunny Smith, founder of Empowering Women Physicians, to discuss the unique challenges facing women physicians and the coaching tools that are helping hundreds break free from burnout—without quitting medicine. If you've ever felt trapped, exhausted, or wondered "when does it get better?"—this conversation is for you. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: The Arrival Fallacy - Happiness Won't Come Later: The belief that you'll be happy "once you become an attending" or "once the kids are in school" is a fallacy. Happiness isn't found at some future milestone—it requires intentional choices now. The system won't change on its own, and no one is coming to save you. Agency Over Learned Helplessness: Medicine systematically exposes physicians to situations beyond their control, leading to learned helplessness. The antidote is recognizing you have agency and choice—even small 1% changes compound over time. Start with one closed chart, one boundary, one small decision that shows you can impact your outcome. Connection Breaks Isolation: You can't understand the mental load of being a physician unless you've been one. Being in community with other women physicians who normalize your struggles and model different choices is therapeutic. When you see others advocating for themselves—taking leave, setting boundaries, pursuing passion projects—it gives you permission to do the same. Bonus insight: It's not your job's job to make you happy—that's your job. And 77% of physicians entering coaching programs meet burnout criteria, but only 33% do after just 8 weeks, without changing jobs. Meet Dr. Sunny Smith: Sunny Smith MD is the Founder and CEO of Empowering Women Physicians. Dr Smith brings her background as an awarded Medical Educator, and Clinical Professor of Family Medicine and Public Health into the coaching space. She advocates for physician wellness through her comprehensive and collaborative coaching program, podcast, retreats and Facebook group that seek to change the culture of medicine through normalizing and humanizing the experience of being a physician.

Big Shot Bob and the team dive deep into various hot topics in sports. Starting with a heated discussion about Clemson’s Dabo Swinney calling out other teams for tampering with his players, Big Shot Bob contends that while Dabo has a point, the NCAA’s lack of rules makes it a lawless environment. The conversation shifts to the adverse effects of the transfer portal on high school athletes' recruitment, emphasizing how the portal's existence has complicated the traditional process of getting into college sports.   The episode also covers Deion Sanders' new rules at Colorado, where he implements monetary penalties for player infractions, igniting a debate on the fairness and feasibility of such fines for college athletes who may not be making significant NIL money. The hosts argue whether it’s a fair method of discipline or if it could potentially push players to transfer out. Additionally, the notion of potential trades for college players surfaces, with the crew discussing the complexities and unlikely feasibility of such trades given the current state of college athletics.   Towards the end, the show explores the longevity of players in the modern NBA, citing how current stars like LeBron James and Stephen Curry continue to excel well into their late 30s and early 40s. The hosts contrast this with older generations, attributing the shift to improved fitness regimes and a more offensively driven game. They wrap up with a light-hearted segment about sentimental items that have stood the test of time, sharing personal stories of cherished belongings, from old clothes to long-lived cars, bringing a humorous and nostalgic close to the episode.   00:00 Introduction and Host Greetings 00:58 Dabo Swinney's Rant on Tampering 01:42 NCAA's Lack of Guardrails 02:32 Accountability in College Sports 03:24 Coaches vs. Players: Double Standards 07:16 Impact of Transfer Portal on High School Recruits 10:18 NIL Deals and Player Fines 14:37 The Future of College Sports: Collective Bargaining and Unionization 15:17 The Concept of Trading College Players 17:04 Aging NBA Stars: Performance and Longevity 19:49 Will We See Another 73-9 Season? 21:15 The Emotional Attachment to Personal Belongings

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1257: Chinese automakers are taking real share in Europe, AI at NADA is growing up fast, and U.S. consumer confidence just hit a decade low. Chinese automakers just hit a milestone in Europe, capturing nearly one in 10 new-car sales. Fueled by competitive EVs and hybrids, strong battery tech, and rapid expansion, Chinese brands are moving from disruptors to serious incumbents across the continent.Chinese brands claimed 9.5% of Europe's total car market in December, a record share.Electrified vehicles are the growth engine, with Chinese automakers now holding 16% of Europe's EV and plug-in hybrid market, more than double last year.Europe's auto industry is under strain, with over 110,000 jobs lost in 18 months, as domestic brands face shrinking share at home and abroad.“The progression of Chinese cars in Europe is massive… It's a matter of survival for our industry,” said Roberto Vavassori, head of Italy's Anfia trade group.AI is everywhere in dealer tech talk, but 2026 is shaping up as the year it moves from buzzword to baseline. At NADA in Las Vegas, expect fewer “wow” moments and far more conversations about integration, maturity, and ROI.More than 40 AI-specific exhibitors are registered for NADA 2026, up from just 10 last year, with many more vendors baking AI into existing platforms.Expect AI centered on lead engagement, chat, marketing automation, inventory, pricing, service prediction and moreDealers are showing up with sharper questions, focusing on cost savings, productivity, and ROI, not shiny add-ons or disconnected tools.“Everybody has the same ice cream. It's just flavored a little bit different,” said Cox Automotive's Mo Zahabi, summing up what dealers should expect on the floor.America's economic mood just took a sharp turn south. Consumer confidence fell to its lowest level in more than a decade in January, with households rattled by rising prices, job anxiety, and geopolitical noise—setting up an uneasy backdrop for spending as 2026 gets underway.The Consumer Confidence Index dropped to 84.5, its lowest reading since 2014 and well below economist expectations, signaling broad-based unease.Inflation remains front and center, with consumers citing food, gas, electricity, insurance costs, and tariffs as top concerns.“The K-shaped economy is great for the top 20%, but many middle-class Americans are barely keeping up,” said Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union.This episode of the Automotive State of the Union is brought to you by Amazon Autos: Meet customers where they shop: 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/

We recently received a heartfelt message from a listener whose spouse had an affair. They shared a question many couples face after betrayal: Is it truly possible to forgive? While their spouse has expressed deep remorse and appears sincere, the pain, broken trust, and emotional weight feel overwhelming. They want to move forward, but don't know how, or even if forgiveness is possible.Betrayal in marriage comes in many forms, from seemingly small breaches of trust like a financial mistake, to deeply traumatic experiences like infidelity. No matter the size, betrayal can cause significant short- and long-term damage to intimacy, safety, and connection in a relationship.In this episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, we welcome back our good friend Austin Ellis to have an honest and compassionate conversation about healing after betrayal. Together, we explore what forgiveness really means (and what it doesn't), why moving on isn't a linear process, and how couples can begin rebuilding trust, whether reconciliation feels possible right now or not.If you or your spouse are navigating the aftermath of betrayal in any form, this episode offers hope, clarity, and practical insight for taking the next step forward to finding Ultimate Intimacy again in your relationship.If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.

Have you ever eaten off plan or skipped a workout—and immediately felt that familiar wave of guilt, frustration, or "what is wrong with me?" That moment matters more than you think… not because of the food, but because of what happens next in your mindset and your nervous system. In this episode of The Menopause Makeover Podcast, we're talking about the shame–cortisol cycle that so many midlife women get trapped in after a slip. I'll walk you through why beating yourself up actually drives cortisol higher, keeps your body stuck in stress mode, and makes belly fat harder to release—especially in menopause. This isn't about perfection, restarting on Monday, or fixing yourself. It's about learning how to pause, separate facts from feelings, and return calmly without spiraling. You'll hear how shortening your recovery window, calming your stress response, and choosing one wise next step can protect your hormones and support real progress. We'll also weave together faith, nervous system regulation, and practical mindset tools you can use immediately. Friend, nothing is ruined. This is practice—not failure.

This episode we get into a new JAMA Ophthalmology study takes a hard look at pickleball-related eye injuries, and the numbers are… not great. Retinal detachments, hyphemas, orbital fractures, and even open globes are showing up more and more, especially as the sport explodes in popularity among older adults. I break down exactly how these injuries happen, which ones are true emergencies, and why I am once again begging you, politely, but firmly, to wear eye protection while playing pickleball Takeaways: Why pickleball-related eye injuries have surged dramatically in the last few years and why 2024 alone accounted for a huge chunk of them. How a single blunt hit from a pickleball can lead to retinal tears, detachments, or bleeding inside the eye. The most common orbital fracture caused by blunt eye trauma and why age actually changes how dangerous it is. When blood in the eye (hyphema) turns from “watch and wait” into a full-on pants-on emergency. The simplest, cheapest way to avoid becoming an ophthalmology case study: wear safety glasses, especially if your reaction time isn't what it used to be.

Finally, Starbucks is brewing a comeback under a new CEO, but margins are still on the drip.Show Notes with links: Tesla is officially sunsetting the Model S sedan and Model X crossover to make room for its future: humanoid robots made in a Fremont, TX factory. CEO Elon Musk says the move reflects Tesla's shift from automaker to physical AI pioneer.Sales of the S, X, and Cybertruck fell 40% in 2025 to just over 50,000 combined units.Tesla will aim to produce 1 million Optimus robots annually in the long term.Musk also confirmed Tesla's robotaxi service will expand to 7 more U.S. cities this year."It's time to bring the Model S and X programs to an end with an honorable discharge," said Musk.In a milestone moment for the EV market, fully electric cars outsold petrol-only vehicles in the EU for the first time in December, highlighting the region's accelerating shift toward electrification.EVs took 22.6% of the EU market in December, just edging out petrol at 22.5%.Hybrids, including plug-ins, remained dominant with a 44% share.EV sales in Europe, Britain, and the EFTA rose for a sixth straight month.Tesla's EU registrations dropped 20.2%, while Chinese brand BYD jumped 229.7%."We're seeing consumer buy-in to this," said E-Mobility Europe's Chris Heron.Starbucks is seeing its first U.S. sales growth in two years thanks to new CEO Brian Niccol's back-to-basics approach, though investors remain wary due to continued margin pressure.U.S. same-store sales rose 4% in Q1; average order value increased 1%.Niccol's “Back to Starbucks” plan focuses on simplified menus and service speed.Margins fell for a second straight year, down 290 basis points in Q1.High bean costs and past tariffs on imports like Brazilian coffee remain a drag.“I'm most excited that our turnaround plan is coming to life in the way we envision, first turn around the top line, and then earnings growth will follow…”, said Niccol.This episode of the Automotive State of the Union is brought to you by Amazon Autos: Meet customers where they shop: reach high-intent buyers shopping for their next car on the #1 online retailer.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/

Kiera is here with a gift to make your practice even better: The three most common mistakes dental practices make, and guidance on how to get out of them. Is your practice making one of these mistakes? Delegating tasks without ownership Avoiding hard conversations Flying blind on your numbers Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners, this is Kiera and today is one of my favorite topics of all time. It's how to avoid the pitfalls because I feel like these are costly mistakes that dental practice owners make. We make these costly pitfalls. We go into them. We don't know about them. And you guys, if you know me, I have a mantra and I say, don't lose money. I hate losing money. It's one of my biggest pet peeves and I don't want you to lose money. So I'm excited to talk about it. I hope you guys are excited because...   The reality is like so many people talk about like, success leaves clues and it does, but so does failure. And I I talk about this a lot when I present and when I speak and I say like success and failure are truly not radically different. They're not, they're like small little things. It's like successful practices are consistent. Successful practices put systems in, successful practices look at their KPIs, successful practices have team meetings that are effective. Successful practices have CEO time.   Successful practices have delegation and ownership. Successful practices ⁓ follow through. They look at their case acceptance. They make their re-care calls. They do their reactivation. They do different verbiage. Like that's what they do. Failure practices don't stay consistent. They always have an excuse. They're always blaming. ⁓ They don't check their case acceptance. They don't track their KPIs. They don't look at their numbers. They don't take CEO time. Like these are just little steps. And like with my fingers, if you're just listening, I'm like,   almost like scallops, like if we've got a middle point, success is I checked my KPIs, failure is I didn't check my KPIs. And while that's not like a huge move, it is moving you points away to where you end up either closer to success or closer to failure. And so I think when we realize this, these are the ones, like, how can I help you guys avoid these costs and mistakes? How can I like motivate and inspire you and like, not just motivate, but genuinely change you?   So that way it's not this I like, well, shoot, we're on failure row. Shoot, like, I don't really know about this. Like, I just want to talk about three of the most common mistakes that people make and how do you correct course because you're going to make mistakes. But like if I'm doing the scallops again, successful offices realize like we didn't do the KPIs. So we're going to start doing the KPIs and we don't miss those. We're going to hold the meetings and we don't miss those.   they course correct before they end up in the failure or the success bucket. They're course correcting constantly. And so this is just like where I'm at coaching hundreds and thousands of offices, team members galore, our team, like literally, I feel so blessed that we get to serve so many offices. I just saw like this really awesome highlight reel of all these doctors that came in person and I was watching it with Jason and I look over and Jason's just the sweetest thing. He's tearing up and he said, Kiera.   I knew when you started Dental A Team, it was going to be like, he's like, I never imagined it being what it is today. He said, but all those people's lives, including all of you listening to the podcasts, all of those lives that we've been able to change because of Dental A Team Gosh, that is just such a blessing. It's such a beautiful thing. And I just want to say thank you. Like, thank you for being here. Thank you for being a part of the offices. Thank you for being a part of my Dental A Team podcast family. Thank you for just showing up. Thank you for changing lives through dentistry. Thank you for giving people a gift of confidence. Like,   And for me to be able to give you a gift to make your practice even better, that's what I'm here for. That's what Dental A Team's about. So like we're here to help you recognize patterns. We're here to help you avoid burnout. We're here to help you make small changes before they become giant snowballs. And I think like my thought process has always been I'm here to positively impact the world of dentistry in the greatest way possible. We're here to share this podcast message with every single office out there. We're here to help offices realize like running a successful practice.   does not have to be hard. It can actually be easy. And let's give you the tools, the tips, the resources, all of that to make your life a grand success. So if that sounds great to you, we'll rock on. So step number one, mistake number one that's very costly is delegating tasks without ownership. So like so many offices, hear them like, Kiera, I listened to the podcast and we implemented it, but like it just didn't work out. And I'm like, yeah, cause you delegated it and you didn't have the structure, didn't have the ownership, you didn't have the accountability, you didn't have the metrics. Like, okay.   One of the doctors called this doctor out and they said, this doctor is a walking cheat, like cheat code. Go talk to him, go ask him what he does because he's been able to take his practice for massive success, which is true. When I met them, were doing about 1.5. Now we're clearing five. We're going to be crushing six to seven. And I just like, gosh, the giddiness in me for this office. Like they deserve the sun, the moon, the stars. Like you name it.   They're just such good humans. And so when I think about this, like we're talking, this is a practice that went from like 1.5, 2 million up to this six, $7 million practice now, something I've noticed. And like I said, this doctor is a walking cheat code. They, when we go in and we're like, okay, we're going to roll out this new process. So we're going to do a new process on how we do case acceptance, or we're going do new process on how we do cancellations. They don't just go to the team and be like, all right guys, we're going to do cancellations. They are like, we're going to build an SOP.   we're gonna have a team training, we're gonna have a metric, we're gonna do it for these four weeks. And they don't take a long time to execute on that. So it's like, perfect, we're gonna have this done in the next three weeks. But they execute, it's rolled out, it's like, it's very, very thorough. And this is a practice of a very large team and they all do it consistently. And when something gets off, they just go right back to the SOP, they update the SOP, where was it missed? What do we need to do? Let's do a team training on it. But I will say I've coached hundreds of offices and this is one office that I watch   constantly that is able to delegate, have ownership and be able to have a full team move and stay hyper accountable. So this is just like, you've got to have ownership. You've got to have SOPs. You've got to roll it out to the team, make sure everybody's aware. And then we've got to have the metrics and the check-ins to make sure something's not off. And if it is off, we follow through on it. So people know that when we roll out new processes, they're here to stick. They're not just like a flash in the pan of like, I heard it on a podcast. Let's try it out.   No, it's very, very, very thorough. So a quick check for you is like, go back and look at the last three things that you delegated. Did you assign them? Did you own them? And did you have follow up on it?   crickets. Yeah, yeah, because you did it. Darn it. But you're going to do it in the future. Or maybe you did. And I'm high fiving you. But most of the time, people don't. And this is so costly because then you can't ever be free. You think you're moving. You're taking one step forward, but you're actually taking like 500 steps backwards because nothing's actually getting delegated. Nothing's actually moving forward. And you're only relying on your A plus star players that are building all these ownership accountability pieces. And people are like, but I want everybody to be that way. And I'm like, human nature is not. Tell me how you're doing on your New Year's.   resolutions, probably not great because human nature by default doesn't stay accountable. Why do think I'm in business? because people, they know what they need to do. People are like, Kiera, I pay you to tell me like what to do that you do on the podcast. And it's like, yeah, because human nature is not follow through. Why do I pay a gym trainer? I've got all the resources, I got all the tools. I need somebody to literally hold me accountable to make me show up to work out. So look at the last three tasks. Did you delegate them? Was their ownership?   Did you follow up on them? Did they have a metric? If not, it up, fix that and start to delegate with ownership and accountability. So mistake number two, are you guys ready for this? It's avoiding hard conversations. ⁓ man, that's a crowd drop off. This is so real though, because we don't have like Patrick Lanziani has the five dysfunctions of a team. And if you and your team have not read this, I highly recommend it's a very easy fable. Have it as like some like,   evening reading. It's so fast, it's so easy and it's very, very great. And I think it's a reread. So if you've listened to it in the past or you read it, maybe do a reread. ⁓ But when we don't have trust and vulnerability and then we don't have healthy debate, AKA hard conversations, what happens is like little small issues become cracks and cracks aren't bad. But if cracks stay there, they actually break and then it becomes toxic and then it arose the entire team. So in leadership, we've got to have, let's like,   I coached his office. guys might know him. He's incredible. ⁓ They've got a lot of offices. think I did seven office visits ⁓ in three days. We were hauling booty. And I love this doctor because he pays for me to come in to coach his teams, to teach them how to have uncomfortable conversations, to remind them like this is why we're here. And the more we have just a few of these and we get away from the fear of discomfort.   and wanting to keep the peace, which is actually artificial harmony, we like care, we align and we move forward. And we use the sports analogy on this of, can you just imagine like pick your favorite sports team, basketball, baseball, soccer, I don't care what it is. Can you imagine for one second, like we'll just use basketball for instance, or football. Like if the quarterback or the point guard goes in, like let's do football, because they get thrashed. Like if that quarterback gets thrashed because his defensive line is not protecting for him.   or no one's open because they didn't follow the play, can you just imagine if that quarterback runs off the field and is like, hey coach, could you tell the defensive line to cover for me next time? Like absolutely not. Or if that quarterback is just like, I'm just so angry with my defensive line. Like they didn't block for me. Like, no, can you imagine? Like, no, they call it out. Like you got a freaking block for me. Like we need to win this game. I need this to happen. And they do it in real time because everybody on the team,   is committed to winning and they call each other in real time of their blind spots. Like my brother said, I'll play basketball. I played tennis. You got to call it in the moment. Like my dad is like, you got to call it in real time. You got to say, Hey, I need you to block. I need you to box out for me. I need you to like throw the ball. Like I'm here. Like I need you guys to get open, whatever it is. But like, if we can get a little bit better, that that's our culture rather than a, we sit here pretending to be perfect, but ultimately hating each other.   and hate's probably a strong word, but creating gaps. And so what I encourage is we normalize uncomfortable conversations. We normalize and encourage it. We push on peer to peer accountability. We have each other instead of it being up to the coach, AKA office manager or doctor, to each other, peer to peer, to where we talk about it. We wanna get the W, we wanna win. And so helping your team realize that this is going to be the best way for us to win is to have these hard conversations.   And it's not, I say it's not confrontation. It's just a conversation. Like let's take that hard out of there, but let's say what needs to happen. And so I would say, doctors, one of the worst things you can do to your great players is to tolerate the poor performance of a lower player. ⁓ Because they're watching you. They're watching to see standards are not what you say. They're what you tolerate. And so when you're A plus players are watching, like, well, doctor is going to do this constantly or doctors are not going to care about that. Now team members, can rise up and you can take care of things too.   Doctors, we've also got to make sure that we're encouraging and we're having the hard conversations too. I don't think you know how much I do not enjoy hard conversations, but I know as a leader, as a boss, as a CEO, as a consultant, I have got to have the hard conversations and I'm going to keep having them. They're not easy, but they are my responsibility and I'm going to show up as a good team member because actually that's better than living in artificial harmony. It's so much better. So there's a great quote.   If you want it, your success and happiness, that's my add on your success and happiness are directly proportional to the number of uncomfortable conversations you're willing to have. So if you want to grow, if you want to rise, how many of you look at your KPIs or your numbers like, gosh, freaking schedule is not full. Like, oh, like our profitability, like, but I go to my team meetings and I'm like, great job guys, you're doing great. Why don't we call it out? Hey, profitability is not where it needs to be.   What are our solutions to get it to where it needs to be? I'm not being a jerk. I'm not sitting here sizzling. Hey, our schedule is not up to goal. What are we doing to get that fixed? Let's have a conversation. Let's fix it. Let's normalize that. That's calling out in real time. Hey, our schedule is not to goal. Like what's our solution? How are we going to get there? It's like it's a huddle. It's a genuine huddle. Think about sports players. Like they get together. Like you need to block. I need you to call that person. I need you to do this. You guys need to call that all the hygienists. If you've got downtime, call seven patients, whatever it is. That's how we get the W.   something rude, let's normalize that we are a team. We call each other out. We celebrate when we win. Also like on the flip, like let's go to basketball, let's go to football. When they score a touchdown, the whole team that was just calling each other out of like, I need you to block, I need you to do this. They also go to the end zone and they freaking celebrate. They lift each other up, they're high-fiving. It's both. So let's make sure that we're calling each other out and normalizing that. And we're also celebrating and normalizing that as well. So this is something of, I would just encourage you to have   one honest conversation, and also I'd recommend in your next team meeting, let's have this if that's a standard, put it up in the break room. We normalize hard conversations. We encourage hard conversations. We are a company that does not sit in artificial harmony. Whatever it is, plaster that, build that into your culture. This is something you've got to like, if you guys could see, I'm like boxing out, like I'm pushing the defense. Like you've got to push this through all the way for you guys to get this to be that and to avoid that costly mistake.   All right, mistake number three. This one should come as a no brainer. You guys know I love numbers and numbers love me. It's flying blind on your numbers. So I think that production feeds the ego, profit feeds the family. So when I look at this, so many doctors are like, well, Kiera, I know you say that the numbers are there, but I don't have any money. And I'm like, yes, but making haphazard, crazy decisions because you're not looking at your numbers and you're not using them as a roadmap, you're just   flying by the seat your pants. And so when you look at this, you've got to know like, here's just a, guess, I guess to help you see like, am I flying blind on my numbers or do I maybe know my numbers? Question number one, what's your breakeven number? Now that's twofold. What's the breakeven number on the practice and what's the breakeven number paying you? Two questions, okay? My question is, what is your overhead on your supplies? What percent, what is your current overhead?   What is your debt services taken out of your overhead? What is your EBITDA? What is your net profit? AKA cashflow. Of that profit, are you saving your taxes? Hmm, something to think about. Fascinating, right? That's how you know. And if you can't answer those questions right now.   I know you're probably flying a little blind. Maybe you even just have like a eye patch on. That's okay. Maybe you're only half blind, not all the way blind. Or maybe you're like, Kiera, I'm walking in the dark. I don't even know any of that. don't even know where to find the PNL. It's fine. Wherever you are, you've got to get this dialed. Like I am a sticky broken record. haven't talked to her. Oh man, I'm so excited. She's going to get on podcast with me. And last year we were chatting and she was like, Kiera, like we were debating. Is she going to join consulting? Is she not going to join consulting? And she's like,   I have got to get profitable. And I said, all right, rock on, challenge accepted. We are going to get you profitable. I have been a broken record with this poor doctor for an entire year. It's production, profit, production, profit, production, profit, production, profit. Head down, produce, make sure your team's collecting and make sure we're profitable. That is what we've done all year long. And guess what? Come the end of the year, she's like, Kiera, I have so much money, I got to pay taxes on it. Like we did it.   and she did it in 11 months. So production, profit, production, profit. If you're producing, but you're not collecting and you're not looking at your numbers, you're not going to be profitable. If you're not planning for taxes and you're not saving for taxes, you're not gonna be profitable. If you don't know what your breakeven is on the practice and then what the breakeven is and what it needs to produce with you in there, you can't project this out and you can't forecast it and we can't figure out what your daily goal needs to be. And then you're just producing for the sake of producing for your ego.   Who was that a rank? Could you tell us there? If you like that email me Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. I might rap it. You guys, I used to have a rapper name Skittlez with a Z so I could wrap with Eminem. Tell Eminem I'd love to wrap with him. I've never gotten that far, but you know, Skittlez, Skittlez and Eminem. I don't know why I just told you that. Email me Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. If you think I should be Skittlez and rap it out. I'd love to hear from you. I genuinely love a good pen pal. So write me. But you've got to know your numbers. You have to.   non-negotiable. And this is, think, where accountability as a coach comes into play. I force our clients with our consultants to know their numbers. We call it the yes model. You've got to have your vision. That's the Y. E stands for earnings. You've got to be profitable, non-negotiable, otherwise go be an associate. And S stands for systems and team development. If we know the vision, when we look at the numbers, it's going to tell us the systems and team development we need to do, period. Period. That's the formula. That's all it is. So if you're flying blind on your numbers, like, ugh.   Guys, I'm scratching my head over here. This is stress. If you ever see me fluff my hair, it means I'm stressed, okay? My team has told me they're like, Kiera, what you do is it's a little like side fluff. And right now it's both hands fluff. Like I'm stressed out for you because I used to fly blind on numbers. So many clients flying by on non-numbers. They don't look at it. They've got multi-practices and they don't break it down. You guys, these are costly pitfalls. So remember, go back to the success and failure. They're not radically different. It's failure to look at the numbers.   It's failure to say like, I don't care if you don't know numbers or not, I don't know numbers either. But guess what? Kiera freaking loves numbers and numbers freaking love Kiera. That is how this works. It is, I'm going to force myself to learn this. You guys, on my goal board, I'm not joking you. I should like take pictures of this so you guys can see it. In my bedroom, Jason and I made this like joint goal board. If you guys wanna get your spouse involved in your life, cause you feel like you're just driving and growing without them.   Joint goal board between the two of us has been amazing and it sits in our bedroom. It's not pretty It was built on Canva. It cost me eight bucks. It took us a Sunday to do it together But I literally have this like sign and it says tax expert ahead. I Did not know taxes. I was getting burned every single year I was crying every single December and I was like I am never doing this again I'm going to become a freaking tax expert. I started reading books on it. I called up the CPAs. I started researching it I was like, okay, it's just a formula. Yes, of course. They're like all these ways I can reduce it   But at the end of the day, it's really just a very simple formula. Whatever my profit is, whatever my tax bracket is, I know, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, this is a very simplified version. CPAs don't come after me right now. It's just truly like, if I can take that, I'm always gonna have a slush and I'm not gonna cry. And I figured it out. And for you, I want you to take it on like, you're gonna learn taxes. You're going to be profitable. I want your goal for 2026, 2027, 2028, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, forever that you are profitable always.   I have a mantra and I say, Kiera Dent does not lose money. And I want you to be the same way. Always profitability, profitability, profitability, get the production, get the profitability. We got to, and again, the way we increase profit, increase production, increase collections, decrease costs. Those are the three levers. So look at the numbers, get your team bought in. This is a costly mistake that I don't want you to make. So commit that by Friday, you will have a KPI scorecard in place, or you're going to call Dental A Team.   TheDentalATeam.com go on over, email me, hello, book a call, whatever it is, I will help you out, but you are going to learn your numbers. There's no more excuses. It's not that hard. I promise you, our fee will offset the amount of money you are going to make. Most of our clients are like a two to one, eight to one, 10 to one ratio, meaning we are making that much more money. So a 10 to 30 % increase in production, 30 % would be a three to one ratio. Like you guys, it's insanity what we're able to do for offices. I love it. We usually pay for ourselves in the first couple of months.   So it's 100 % worth it. Know your numbers. You just knowing your numbers and tracking and measuring will make you more profitable. So don't be the person that has these costs and mistakes. You gotta take ownership. Like bottom line, the way we had this, mistake number one, delegating tasks and not having ownership. So think back to that. We gotta delegate like that office I told you about. Again, this is a $7 million practice. You wanna be like a $7 million? Do the things today to be the $7 million practice.   You've got to have the hard conversations, normalize that, have that be a part of your culture. And number three is you've got to freaking know those numbers. I love numbers, numbers love me. And if you're not great at this, that's why I've got the podcast. That's why we're here. Reach out, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. Do not do this alone. Do not spend another minute struggling through these costly pitfalls. You don't deserve it. Your team doesn't deserve it. Your patients don't deserve it. So reach out, it's time. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. But please commit to yourself that you're going to do this.   You're not failing. You're not clear over the failure bucket. You're just a few little shifts away from it. And again, remember success and failure are not radically different. They're just small little micro steps. You can quickly make those back and get closer to where you actually want to be. It's not huge. It's not hard. It's not all these crazy things. It's small incremental changes that are going to radically change your life. So make the call, make the changes, commit. You're worth it. You deserve it. And as always, I'm cheering you on forever and ever.   I'm here on your team. I'm here in your corner. I'm here in your air pod. Wherever I'm at, just know I'm rooting for you. You deserve it. Let's do this together. Let's have you do this on your own, whatever it's going to be, but commit to not having these costly mistakes be your mistakes. And as always, thanks for listening. I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.  

In this episode, we explore postpartum care through the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and the deeply nourishing concept known as the “sacred window.” Joining me is Christine Eck, founder and director of the Center for Sacred Window Studies, an educational resource dedicated to Conscious Postpartum Care rooted in Ayurvedic tradition.Christine breaks down what Ayurveda is and how it views the postpartum period as a critical time for healing, restoration, and long-term well-being. We dive into the meaning of the first 42 days postpartum, why this window is considered sacred, and how intentional practices during this time can support a mother's physical recovery, emotional balance, and spiritual integration after birth.We also discuss the essential role of food, rest, daily rhythms, and ritual in postpartum healing, along with practical, accessible ways modern moms can bring Ayurvedic principles into their own recovery—even without formal support or traditional care. This conversation is a grounding reminder that postpartum isn't something to “bounce back” from, but a time to be held, nourished, and honored.Whether you're newly postpartum, expecting, or supporting new mothers, this episode offers a compassionate and holistic perspective on caring for the birthing body and spirit.Connect with Christine Eck:Official Website: https://sacredwindowstudies.com/postpartum care ayurveda, ayurvedic postpartum traditions, sacred window postpartum, postpartum healing ayurveda, 42 days postpartum ayurveda, conscious postpartum care, ayurvedic postpartum practices, holistic postpartum recovery, postpartum rituals after birth, traditional postpartum care practices, postpartum healing rituals, ayurvedic care after childbirth, postpartum care traditions around the world, how to heal postpartum naturally, ayurveda for new moms, postpartum rest and nourishment, sacred postpartum traditions, emotional healing after birth, postpartum support for moms, fourth trimester care, holistic motherhood, natural postpartum recovery, maternal wellness postpartumwww.NewMomTalk.comBuy Me A CoffeeIG: @NewMomTalk.PodcastYouTube: @NewMomTalkMariela@NewMomTalk.comInterested in being a guest?

That moment an opportunity appears and you quietly start building a case for why you shouldn't take it.Using the launch of her new YouTube channel as a real-time example, Monique shares what it looks like to move forward without waiting to feel “ready.” She unpacks the familiar fears that often surface when visibility increases, such as What if it flops? What if people judge me? What if I'm not enough? and offers a grounded reframe.For anyone sitting on a pivot, a transition, or a new chapter, Monique encourages you to shoot the shot, stop self-disqualifying and see what happens. LINKSJoin Monique's NewsletterApply for her upcoming Retreat March 1-4, 2026 in Palm Springs, CAGEMS DROPPED“​Don't ​count ​yourself ​out ​before ​​you ​give ​it ​a ​shot.”“We ​have ​this ​​very ​interesting ​relationship ​to ​our ​achievements ​as ​high ​achievers ​where ​it's ​like ​as ​soon ​as ​you ​achieve ​something, ​you ​write ​it ​off. ​It's ​just ​like, ​okay, ​on ​to ​the ​next.We ​have ​just ​been ​dismissing ​over ​and ​over ​and ​over ​again, ​not ​enoughing ​over ​and ​over ​and ​over ​again. ​Through ​every milestone, ​every ​point ​of ​new ​expansion, ​every ​big ​lesson ​learned, ​or every ​iInternal ​shift.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1255: Waymo gains ground on rideshare rivals as Tesla undercuts them all. A global study shows bad CX drives customers away faster than high prices. And automakers pull back from Super Bowl ads, choosing more flexible, efficient buys.Only two automakers — Toyota and Cadillac — are confirmed for Super Bowl 2026, as most brands step away from the pricey event. Facing budget pressure and chasing efficiency, car companies are shifting spend to longer campaigns across other live events.Brands like Ford, BMW, Kia, Honda, Nissan, and Stellantis are sitting it out, citing affordability and better ROI elsewhere.With a $9 million price tag per 30 seconds plus production, the Super Bowl is losing appeal amid industry cost pressures.Automakers are turning to the Olympics, World Cup, and NBA All-Star Game for more cost-effective, multi-week campaigns.“There's no secret that the premium of being in the Super Bowl certainly would come at the expense of having some additional investment,” said Sean Gilpin, Hyundai CMO.Waymo is becoming a real contender in ride-hailing while Tesla goes for a classic price war play. A new Obi study compares autonomous and traditional services, showing a market reshaping rapidly — especially in San Francisco.Waymo's robotaxi pricing has dropped and is now only 12.7% more than Uber and 27.3% more than Lyft, compared to 30–40% higher in mid-2025.Tesla Robotaxi leads on price at just $8.17 per ride, but lags with 15.32-minute average wait times.Obi CEO Ashwini Anburajan: “They're using the playbook that Uber and Lyft used... and we know that playbook works."Consumers now prioritize customer experience over price with 59% abandoning a brand after one bad experience versus 55% fleeing due to price hikes, according to a global Havas CX study. Consistency and emotional connection are key drivers of loyalty.A global survey of 59,000+ shoppers shows experience matters more than cost — more consumers ditch brands after poor service than high prices.Consistent, seamless experiences across digital and physical channels top what customers value most.Emotional connection and personalization now weigh as heavily as functional efficiency in shaping CX.“Loyalty can only be earned by delivering unwavering consistency, authentic personal connection, and experiences that create lasting emotional memories,” says David Shulman.This episode of the Automotive State of the Union is brought to you by Amazon Autos: MeetJoin 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/

Kristin and I read through listener comments, including theories about how I can create characters without an inner monologue, and real-world ophthalmology stories that lead me to beg you, once again, to call your eye doctor before going to the ER. We also talk about scrubs, fashion, and the fact that someone published a real scientific paper about what patients think doctors should wear. Then we play a game where Kristin has to guess what medical procedures are, when they were invented, and which ones humanity probably regrets, from trepanation and lobotomies to CPR, anesthesia, dialysis, vaccines, C-sections, and appendectomies. Takeaways: Plane Etiquette Is a Minefield: Leg contact, armrests, and the silent rules no one agreed on. Brains Are Loud: Why some people can't turn their thoughts off, and why meditation advice often backfires. Eye Emergencies: When floaters mean “call now” and why your ophthalmologist wants you to skip the ER if possible. Research Reality Check: How mandatory med-student research may be diluting science instead of advancing it. Medicine's Wild History: From trepanation and lobotomies to vaccines, dialysis, and CPR, proof that progress is messy. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Guest Author: Paul GregoryHeadline: Escalation: From General Walker to New OrleansSummary: In April 1963, a shaken Lee confessed to Marina that he had attempted to shoot General Edwin Walker. Following this, Lee moved to New Orleans to manufacture credentials as a pro-Castro radical, hoping to manipulate his way into obtaining visas for Cuba and the Soviet Union.Article: On the night of April 10, 1963, Lee returned home visibly agitated and confessed to Marina that he had fired a shot at General Edwin Walker, a planned assassination attempt that Marina kept secret to her later regret. Following this event, Lee moved to New Orleans to establish himself as a pro-Castro radical, hoping to use these fabricated credentials to secure a visa for Cuba and the Soviet Union, though his focus remained on international travel rather than a plot against Kennedy at that time.
