Is it time to say goodbye to your DSLR? Are mirrorless cameras really the future of dental photography? If your DSLR is still working perfectly, should you upgrade now or wait for the right time? Jaz is joined by Dr. Ashish Soneji in this game-changing episode to discuss the death of the DSLR and why the shift to mirrorless cameras is inevitable. They break down whether you should proactively switch or strategically hold off, plus what this means for your existing lenses. You'll also learn the rules of mix and match—can you use your current DSLR lens on a mirrorless body? And most importantly, which mirrorless lenses are worth buying and which ones to avoid (hint: if they don't have markings, you might be in trouble!). If you care about consistent, high-quality dental photography, this episode is a must-listen! https://youtu.be/Y29Mnz26ZIU Watch PDP239 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Jaz introduces the 21-Day Photography Challenge for beginners, featuring 21 short videos to help dentists take clear, well-framed photos. In just three weeks, participants will master essential shots, including tricky occlusal views, at their own pace. Key Takeaways: Investing in quality equipment pays off in the long run. Mirrorless cameras offer significant advantages over DSLRs. Lighting is crucial for capturing quality images. Standardized images require barrel markings on lenses. Second-hand DSLRs can be a cost-effective option for beginners. The evolution of camera technology impacts photography practices. Choosing the right lens is essential for dental photography. Flash consistency is vital for accurate representation in images. Upgrading to mirrorless is a smart move for future-proofing photography. Upgrading your camera setup should align with your clinical progression. Mirrorless cameras are lighter and offer better image quality. Consider the size and transportability of your camera kit. Timing for upgrades can be linked to job changes or equipment failures. Image quality is influenced by megapixels, especially for presentations and printing. Using the right tools, like smaller mirrors and retractors, can improve photography outcomes. Testing second-hand cameras before purchase is crucial to avoid issues. Mobile photography is improving, but may not match the quality of dedicated cameras. Investing in good photographic equipment is essential for quality results.

Gisteren waren Samsung en SK Hynix de pineut. Ze mochten geen nieuwe Amerikaanse chipmachines meer naar hun Chinese fabrieken brengen. Een maatregel die ASML, ASMI, Besi amper raakte. Maar vandaag staan die drie wel fors lager, nu president Donald Trump hetzelfde trucje uithaalt met TSMC. Na dit jaar is het klaar met nieuwe Amerikaanse machines daar. Waarom 'onze' chipbedrijven daar nu wel op reageren, bespreken we deze aflevering. We hebben het ook over dips. Het was het gedroomde huwelijk van wonderbelegger Warren Buffett: Kraft en Heinz samen. Maar de twee gaan na tien jaar weer uit elkaar. De fusie heeft de gezamenlijke beurskoers geen goed gedaan: hij zakte in tien jaar tijd met bijna 70 procent. Vandaag geven beleggers het aandeel nog een extra zetje omlaag. Dan vertellen we je ook nog over een níeuw chiphuwelijk: tussen ASML-topman Christophe Fouquet en Narendra Modi, de premier van India. Je hoort over Scott Bessent, de Amerikaanse minister van Financiën die steeds vaker tegen zijn president Trump ingaat. Al blijft 'ie 'm ook nog steeds verdedigen. En mocht je nog van plan zijn om je leidinggevende op date te vragen, dan leer je ook waarom dat geen goed idee is.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Showroom: The Saga of a Family, a Car Business and the Seven Deadly Sins by Sam MarkleyAfter curiosity prompts auto executive Sean Cassidy to take an exit off the turnpike near Miller Falls, Connecticut, he is saddened to see that a rival dealership has closed, leaving the surrounding area eerily silent. As Sean wonders how much of life is dictated by fate, his thoughts drift back to the day he walked in the showroom of his family business-Cassidy Motors. It was 1974, the first time his father would put his trust in his inexperienced son. As Sean recalls his first days in the business, he remembers not only the good times, but also the struggles as he learns to adjust to his new role in charge of employees who are unreceptive to the brash management style of the owner's young son. As Sean and his wife settle into life as new parents, the following years are filled with excitement and emotion as family relationships are tested. Some thirty years later, the business is in jeopardy, and Sean risks everything in a desperate attempt to save it. Showroom is the poignant tale of one family's journey from success to disappointment as they share a passion for pleasing customers, building their business, and most importantly, loving each other.Author Bio:    Former Car Dealer, Former Editor at NASA in Cambridge Mass, Former Guest columnist at several newspapers, Former All-State baseball player at American Legion, Killingly High School Hall of Fame.

Diese Folge wurde live beim Schweizer Pricing-Kongress im Dolder Grand Hotel Zürich aufgezeichnet und bietet einen persönlichen wie strategischen Blick auf den Einfluss von KI auf Preismodelle. Dr. Sebastian Voigt spricht mit Dr. Oliver Pabst, General Partner bei Redalpine, über die Frage, wann Software echten Mehrwert schafft und wann sie zur Commodity wird. Nur wenige KI-Anwendungen liefern so messbaren Impact, dass sich Value-Based oder Outcome-Based Pricing durchsetzen lässt. „Mit KI schaffst du zum ersten Mal einen Wert, der über die Nutzung einer Software hinausgeht und daher kommt die Hypothese, dass das in hohem Maße Pricing verändern wird.“ So fasst es Oliver zusammen – und plädiert für ein neues Verständnis von Preislogik, das über Token und Nutzungseinheiten hinausdenkt. Im Gespräch geht es um Monetarisierungsstrategien für KI-Startups, vertikale Integration, Retention und Go-to-Market. Oliver teilt Learnings aus seiner eigenen Pricing-Erfahrung – von Modenschauen im Showroom bis zur Investmentlogik eines Deep-Tech-VCs. Über den Gast: Dr. Oliver Pabst ist General Partner beim paneuropäischen VC-Fonds Redalpine in Zürich, der über eine Milliarde Dollar verwaltet und in Unternehmen wie N26, Taxfix, Klarna oder Sanity Group investiert. Zuvor war Oliver unter anderem CEO der Mammut Sports Group, im Executive Board von Conzzeta sowie im Board von Bogner aktiv. Frühere Stationen führten ihn zu McKinsey und EQT. Er bringt über 20 Jahre Erfahrung an der Schnittstelle von Unternehmensführung, Innovation und Pricing mit und kennt Wertschöpfung sowohl aus der Konzernperspektive als auch aus der Frühphasenfinanzierung.

Packed with real examples, role-play prompts, and simple ways to personalize your process, this episode helps sales teams create moments that stick, connect deeper, and win more deals — the modern way.

Salespeople ask me all the time: “Jen, do you still teach the 10 Steps to the Sale?” The answer is YES — but with a modern spin for today's showroom and remote selling environments. In this episode, I break down the first two steps: ✅ Meet & Greet — Creating instant comfort, using body language, and ditching robotic openers. ✅ Build Rapport & Discovery — Going deeper than small talk with powerful, curiosity-based questions. Plus: I share real-world examples of salespeople shifting their approach and closing more deals by simply changing how they say hello. Whether you're on the lot or behind a phone, this one's a must.

We moeten het hebben over Prometheus en Hyperion. Dan denk je misschien aan personages uit Transformers, maar het zijn toch écht de nieuwe projecten van Meta. Het moederbedrijf van Facebook wil namelijk gigantische datacenters met die namen bouwen. Datacenters waar Meta volgens eigen zeggen honderden miljarden dollars aan wil uitgeven. Mark Zuckerberg heeft een missie en dat is dat zijn Meta de AI-kampioen wordt. Hij wil de achterstand op bedrijven als Microsoft ombuigen in een voorsprong. Deze aflevering kijken we of dat niet ten koste gaat van de financiën van het bedrijf. Betalen beleggers niet zijn nieuwe fiasco?Hebben we het ook over Nvidia. Het is topman Jensen Huang gelukt: hij heeft exportrestricties weggewerkt. Van de Trump-regering mag hij bepaalde chips nu tóch naar China exporteren. Leuk voor hem, maar het lijkt erop dat Trump hiermee de Chinezen machtiger maakt. Machtig mooi zijn ook de kwartaalcijfers van drie grote Amerikaanse banken. JP Morgan, Citigroup en Wells Fargo komen met goede cijfers, al zitten er wel wat schoonheidsfoutjes in. Ook moeten beleggers een flinke waarschuwing verwerken van JP Morgan-baas Jamie Dimon. Die waarschuwt voor een waslijst aan slecht nieuws.

Nachdem unsere erste auditive Kunstausstellung im letzten Jahr bei euch so viel Anklang gefunden hat und für reichlich Diskussionsstoff gesorgt hat, entführen wir euch heute erneut in den Showroom des Grotesken und Obszönen. In dieser Folge werde ich euch verschiedene Installationen und Werke vorstellen, bei denen sich die Schöpfungen kreativer Geister gefährlich nah an der Grenze zu dem, was noch legal ist, bewegt. Dabei stellen wir uns wiederholt die Frage, ist das Kunst, oder kann das weg? Wie weit darf Kunst gehen und was verraten uns die schockierenden Werke der heutigen Protagonisten über den Menschen? Können wir aus schockierender Kunst wirklich etwas lernen, oder geht es einzig und allein darum, auf prätentiöse Weise anzuecken und in der Gesellschaft für einen möglichst lauten Aufschrei zu sorgen?

Steven reviews the show he saw at Alvas Showroom in San Pedro, which included guitarist Travis Larson as the opening act, followed by the ProgJect, consisting of Alessandro Del Vecchio (vocals), Mike Keneally (guitar, vocals), Ryo Okumoto (keyboards), Pete Griffin bass, guitar, keys, vocals), and Jonathan Mover (drums, vocals) performing '70s (and a bit of '80s) classics from big prog rock bands we love. But first, an acknowledgment of the sad news that Dave Cousins of Strawbs has passed away.

In this episode, Abi Noda talks with Frank Fodera, Director of Engineering for Developer Experience at CarGurus. Frank shares the story behind CarGurus' transition from a monolithic architecture to microservices, and how that journey led to the creation of their internal developer portal, Showroom. He outlines the five pillars of the IDP, how it integrates with infrastructure, and why they chose to build rather than buy.

" This week, Tim reflects on an interview from the Fire Time Journal and Fire Time Magazine Podcast with Dave Rettinger all about showrooms. From renting scenarios to bricks and real estate, in showrooms large and small, they discuss elevating your space to host clients and create a unique and intentional experience that goes beyond the sales desk.

Bei der Mercedes-Premiere blamiert sich anredo im Autohaus bis auf die Chromfelgen, während BastiMasti beim Schwarzlicht-Minigolf plötzlich mit einem äußerst verräterischen Fleck zu kämpfen hat. Der künftige Ex-Tesla-Fahrer anredo landet bei einem schillernden Event im Autohaus – und das Chaos ist vorprogrammiert. Eigentlich wollte er nur ein bisschen Glanz im grauen Alltag, doch plötzlich steht er zwischen funkelnden Felgen, fancy Fingerfood und einer Horde Anzugträger. Die CLA-Premiere im Mercedes-Autohaus wird für ihn zur Bühne des Fremdschams. Mit einer Gratis Currywurst und seinem unverwechselbaren Charme sorgt er dafür, dass selbst die Motorengeräusche verstummen. Während anredo im Showroom untergeht, geht's für BastiMasti in eine ganz andere Richtung: rein ins Schwarzlicht-Minigolf-Abenteuer. Mit leuchtenden Golfbällen und überzogenem Selbstbewusstsein kämpft er sich durch fluoreszierende Parcours – und gegen seine motorischen Grenzen. Doch was am Ende am meisten strahlt, ist nicht sein Lächeln nach der Siegerehrung...

This is the way the description part goes! We are X-tra excited to clear our throats and begin our viewing of They Might Be Giants' 1996 album Factory Showroom! Unnoticed by few, beloved by many! First, we can't get away from a song that really fell between the grating, only appearing if you rewind to track 0 on the original CD, Token Back to Brooklyn! Then you gotta understand what S-E-X-X-Y is all about. Jordan and Dave talk more than enough around the clock with nobody else about this startlingly steamy song and the infamous fan interpretations! But we're not done, and we won't be until we suspiciously change the subject to Till My Head Falls Off! Is it sad or empowering? I'm not done typing yet...!

What happens when unstoppable determination meets next-level creativity on the sales floor? In this powerhouse episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman podcast, Sean V. Bradley sits down with automotive sales phenom Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer—a woman who's rewriting the rules and setting new records at her Honda dealership. "Too many people are busy selling the car when they should be busy selling the appointment." — Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer From bold marketing moves to unexpected customer connection strategies, Tiffany brings an energy and perspective that will challenge everything you think you know about car sales. Her journey is real, raw, and packed with insights dealership professionals can't afford to miss. "When people tell me I can't do something... it makes me want to show everyone that I can do better than everyone else." — Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer If you're ready to think bigger, sell smarter, and stand out in your market, this episode is your blueprint. Just be warned: it might change the way you sell forever!   Key Takeaways: ✅ Innovative Marketing: Tiffany differentiates herself by using personalized postcards, lottery tickets, and relationship-building tactics to enhance customer engagement and satisfaction. ✅ Networking Strategy: Effective use of social media groups and reciprocal relationships with other local businesses boost her sales and referral network. ✅ Overcoming Challenges: Despite early gender bias, Tiffany's resilience and commitment to excellence propelled her to the top of her field. ✅ Family in Automotive Sales: Tiffany's success has inspired her daughter to follow in her footsteps, building a successful career in car sales. ✅ Focus on Customer Relations: By treating customers as friends and continually fostering these relationships, Tiffany ensures a steady stream of referrals and repeat business.   About Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer is a seasoned automotive sales professional with over 23 years of experience in the industry. Starting her career in 2001, Tiffany has demonstrated exceptional skill and resilience, transitioning from selling cars at a Honda dealership, where she is currently the top saleswoman, to becoming a notable figure in the automotive sales community. Known for her ability to sell over 60 cars in a month, Tiffany not only excels in vehicle sales but also in building meaningful customer relationships and inspiring fellow sales professionals. Her daughter, Liana Nikel, is also a talented salesperson in the automotive industry, working with GMC and achieving success early in her career!     The Path to Success: Insightful Lessons from a Female Automotive Trailblazer Key Takeaways: Embrace resilience in a challenging automotive environment, especially as a woman in a male-dominated industry. Harness innovative strategies and technology to maximize efficiency and sales outcomes. Foster invaluable networks and relationships within the industry and community for sustained success. The automotive industry, like many others, is often seen as a male-dominated space. Yet, trailblazers like Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer have shattered these perceptions, proving that women can excel and redefine success in car sales. This engaging conversation between Sean V. Bradley, LA Williams, and Tiffany reveals insightful themes centered around resilience, innovation, and networking. Each of these themes is crucial for anyone looking to thrive in the automotive sales world.   Resilience Against Industry Challenges Resilience is a recurring theme throughout the transcript. Tiffany's journey in the automotive industry wasn't smooth from the outset. Her initial challenge was during a job interview with a BMW dealership, where her potential was prematurely judged based on her gender. "The manager walked in, saw I was a female, and walked right back out," she reflects, with a sense of triumph over what would have discouraged many. Such prejudices, unfortunately, aren't rare. Many women in various industries face similar biases. Tiffany's story serves as an inspiring testimony that challenges are not roadblocks but stepping stones to success. Her approach is clear: "Pretty funny because that honestly gives me more drive. When people tell me I can't do something…it makes me want to show everyone that I can do better than everyone else." The broader implication is a call for resilience in the face of unfair treatment and stereotypes, advocating for perseverance and persistence. Tiffany's success speaks to those who doubt their capabilities in overcoming industry-specific hurdles and provides a beacon of hope for aspiring female professionals.   Leveraging Innovative Strategies and Technology Innovation, especially in terms of leveraging tools and personal strategies, is crucial for sustained success in the automotive industry. Tiffany illustrates a clear understanding of how standing out requires more than just conventional techniques. She asserts, "I always wanted to be different than everyone else because that's what makes you successful." Her use of handwritten postcards, light-hearted lottery tickets, and the creation of evidence manuals highlights a sophisticated approach to building relationships and enhancing customer engagement. She explains, "People don't like to open up envelopes, you know, too much. So, I really feel that if you have it on a postcard and they get it in the mail, they're going to read it right away." Additionally, there's an emphasis on the integration of technology and automation in streamlining operations. Bradley's advice regarding AI underscores the importance of embracing technological advancements. "I would love to be able to promote your business," Tiffany concurs, signaling an openness to adopting innovative tools that can further accentuate her already effective strategies. Such tools can increase productivity and allow industry professionals to scale their efforts, revealing the potential impact of technology on sales efficiency.   Building Networks for Long-term Success Networking within the industry and broader community is an essential element of Tiffany's success story. Her strategy in creating valuable, sustained relationships lays the foundation for reliable referrals and repeat business. Her community engagement, characterized by distributing business cards with donuts to banks and clothing stores, exemplifies her proactive approach to fostering relationships. "Basically, I have just…one big friendship because they'll know who to call when they need a car," she shares, underscoring the importance of turning customers into long-term allies and advocates. This relational approach allows her to close a significant number of referral-based deals each month and steadily build her reputation. Professionals in the automotive industry can learn from Tiffany's approach to networking. By developing reciprocal relationships, such as with mortgage brokers and real estate agents, sales associates can create a widened network of potential customers and referrers. The broader implication here is the undeniable value of community integration and professional alliances in achieving robust, long-term success. Without limiting herself to traditional norms, Tiffany has utilized a combination of personal initiative, relationship-building, and innovative thinking to redefine success in the automotive world. For emerging and seasoned professionals alike, her approach presents actionable insights: aim for excellence irrespective of prejudice, employ technology to enhance efforts, and cultivate indispensable networks. Through these insights, Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer not only stands as a model for female empowerment but also as a luminary for all who strive to excel in the automotive sales industry.     Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.
