If you have ever felt fear in your body and then immediately made that fear mean something bad about you, this episode is for you. Vanessa explores fear not as something to conquer, transcend, or shame, but as something ancient, intelligent, protective, and deeply human. Through polyvagal theory, Buddhist psychology, the teaching of the first and second arrow, RAIN practice, and self-compassion, we look at what changes when we stop treating fear like the enemy. Healing is not becoming fearless; it is becoming less afraid of fear itself, so you can stay with yourself when it arrives.Reference Links:Stephen Porges — Polyvagal TheoryUse for: Polyvagal theory, autonomic regulation, and the nervous system's safety/danger responses.Link: https://www.stephenporges.com/Note: Stephen Porges developed polyvagal theory, which is referenced in the episode to explain why fear often arises before conscious thought can intervene.Polyvagal Institute — What Is Polyvagal Theory?Use for: Accessible overview of polyvagal theory and autonomic regulation.Link: https://www.polyvagalinstitute.org/whatispolyvagaltheoryNote: Helpful general explainer for producers/listeners who want a basic overview.Neuroception — Stephen Porges / Polyvagal TheoryUse for: Neuroception as the nervous system's subconscious detection of safety and threat.Link: https://www.stephenporges.com/Note: Use alongside Porges's work.

Owning a dental practice can become stressful when clinical production leaves little time for leadership, planning, and business development. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt speaks with Ariel Sigel, dental practice coach, about three strategic shifts that help owners build more profitable, sustainable practices.You will learn how to create time to work on the business, use data to make intentional decisions, and establish communication rhythms that give your team greater clarity and accountability. For practical steps to become a more effective owner and leader, listen to Episode 1073 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Practice owners must allocate dedicated time to function as entrepreneurs rather than spending all of their time producing dentistry.Consistent administrative time and weekly team meetings can improve efficiency without reducing overall production.Practice decisions should be guided by reliable data rather than emotions, isolated complaints, or short-term fluctuations.Teams can use a small number of key metrics and an issues list to identify, discuss, and solve important problems.Regular huddles, team meetings, leadership check-ins, and quarterly planning sessions create predictable communication rhythms.Clear expectations and repeated communication reduce assumptions, improve accountability, and strengthen team alignment.Owners should implement these shifts gradually and build consistent habits instead of introducing every change at once.Episode Chapters:00:00 Intro02:07 The three roles of clinician, leader, and entrepreneur.05:24 Why owners need dedicated time to work on the business.09:10 How consistent leadership and team meeting time improves efficiency.16:10 Moving from reactive decisions to intentional decisions through data.18:00 Using habit stacking, key metrics, and quarterly priorities.20:58 Moving from chaos to clarity through communication rhythms.24:00 How consistency and proactive communication create alignment.26:36 Preventing meetings from becoming complaint sessions.28:00 Using a structured meeting format to improve effectiveness.29:08 Implementing the three strategic shifts one step at a time.31:00 Resources for KPIs, communication rhythms, and practice improvement.Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Ariel has a master's in healthcare administration and several years of dental experience in all aspects of the administrative roles within the dental office. Her passion is to work with dental teams to empower team members to realize their full potential in order to better serve patients, improve office systems to ensure a well-functioning team/office, and to help everyone have fun in the process!Episode Resources:https://www.actdental.com/free-resources/Atomic Habits by James Clear:https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habitsTraction by Gino Wickman: https://www.amazon.com/Traction-Get-Grip-Your-Business/dp/1936661837To the Top study club: https://www.actdental.com/ttt/https://www.actdental.com/free-resources/More Helpful Links for a Better Practice & a Better Life:The Best Practices Show: https://www.actdental.com/podcast/Best Practices Association: https://www.actdental.com/bpaUpcoming Events & Workshops: https://www.actdental.com/events/Smile Source: https://www.smilesource.com/Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.comSubscribe on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com

Veganes Essen ist längst kein Nischenthema mehr – es liegt im Discounter, in der Kantine, auf jeder zweiten Speisekarte. Und trotzdem wird gerade vieles unübersichtlicher: Wer darf eigentlich „vegan" auf die Packung schreiben? Wie viel Vertrauen verdient ein Siegel, das kaum jemand vor Ort prüft? Und wie hält eine gemeinnützige Organisation ihre kritische Stimme, wenn sie mit McDonald's und Lidl zusammenarbeitet? Darüber spreche ich mit Albrecht Wolfmeyer, Leiter Strategie bei ProVeg Deutschland und langjähriger Direktor des ProVeg-Inkubators. ProVeg ist eine der einflussreichsten gemeinnützigen Ernährungsorganisationen weltweit – aktiv in vierzehn Ländern, mit eigenem V-Label, einem Förderprogramm für Food-Startups und direktem Draht zu Konzernen, Investoren und Politik. Albrecht kennt diese Welt von innen, und er sagt einige Dinge, die man so nicht überall hört. Die große Frage, um die alles kreist: Wie schafft pflanzliche Ernährung den Sprung von der Bubble in den Massenmarkt? Albrecht erklärt, warum Deutschland heute der weltweit führende Markt für pflanzliche Produkte ist, während andere Länder stagnieren. Wir reden über das V-Label und darüber, wie viel Vertrauen so ein Siegel wirklich verdient. Über die Debatte „vegan" gegen „pflanzlich" und die Reaktanz, die das Wort bei manchen auslöst. Es geht um Preisparität im Discounter und die harte Konsolidierung bei den Fleischalternativen – und darum, warum so viele Startups an Novel-Food-Regulierung, langem Atem und Produkten scheitern, die geschmacklich schlicht noch nicht überzeugen. Es wird auch unbequem: Warum setzt ProVeg auf Pragmatismus statt Ideologie? Und lässt sich das Image von Veganismus überhaupt drehen, wenn das Wort bei vielen sofort Widerstand auslöst? Zum Schluss schauen wir nach vorn: auf Milchproteine aus Präzisionsfermentation, auf kultiviertes Fleisch, auf Fischalternativen, die noch viel Arbeit brauchen – und auf die Frage, welche Kategorie in fünf Jahren so selbstverständlich im Regal steht wie heute die Hafermilch. Dazu Wolfmeyers Blick auf die Proteinwende, die Landwirtschaft und die New Food Conference im August in Berlin. Eine Folge über einen Markt im Erwachsenwerden – und über die Menschen, die entscheiden, was morgen auf unseren Tellern landet.

Welcome to our motorsports podcast where we discuss F1, IndyCar, IMSA, NASCAR, our own racing adventures, and some other adventures!Charles LeClerc is back on top after a win at Silverstone as both Mercedes run into issues that hinder their chances at the win. George Russell has a bit of luck at the end of the race to crawl back to 2nd place with Lewis Hamilton rounding out the podium. Mechanical failures for Max and Kimi leave them with zero points after what was looking to be a good finish for both of them with their respective car performances.Pato O'Ward is also back on top after a long and hot caution-free race at Mid-Ohio. One mistake cost Christian Lungaard the win which let Pato through but otherwise it was a great performance by both him and Pato as they give McLaren their first 1-2 finish in IndyCar. McLaren top the weekend off with Siegel getting a top 10 finish which puts all three cars in the top 10! The big news, which was confirmed on Monday and also involves McLaren, is that their driver lineup for next year will be O'Ward, Dixon, and Rosenqvist. This means that Lungaard is out of a ride for now after being the leading McLaren driver for this 2026 season. Only time will tell if this shake up is the right call.Briscoe wins at Chicagoland in Cup.Coming up this weekend: NASCAR is at Atlanta, WEC is in Brazil, IMSA is at Mosport, and MotoGP is in Germany.

 My guest on the show today, our special Fourth of July sesquicentennial episode, is Jacob Siegel. He's a writer and editor at Tablet Magazine, an Iraq and Afghanistan vet, co-host of the Manifesto! podcast, and author of the new book, The Information State, which we don't discuss on the episode.Our topic, instead, is the “The Disappearing American Man,” the first installment of a column that Jacob is now writing for Tablet. To give you a sense of the essay, which is slightly to the left or maybe to the right or just below or above the typical crisis of masculinity polemic, here's a particularly pungent passage from it:What I see in many prominent and representative American men today is a dribbling sludge of bitterness. A peacocking display of impotence, debility, worminess, insincerity, lack of competence, lack of confidence, lack of élan, pettiness, selfishness, scheming, and self-pity. Not all men, as the saying goes, but enough to pass a civilizational tipping point. The young men standing up at town hall meetings are almost pompous in their bitterness. The anonymous posters online have turned cattiness and petty sadism into a group erotic ritual. The politicians are embittered, the podcasters are embittered, even the popular comedians are embittered. Probably the comedians are the most bitter of all.Much of this bitterness seems to stem from an ambient feeling of betrayal. Today's American man knows that he has been wronged. By globalist elites and international pedophile rings or else by his own toxic masculinity. By immigrants or perhaps by his innate racism. By “woke capital”; diversity, equity, and inclusion; greedy billionaires; and unappreciative modern women. And by the Jews, of course. Always by the Jews. So that's just a taste. It's a pretty intense, hard-charging essay. I would say there's more or less two overlapping arguments in the essay. One is about this bitterness as it's expressed in the more venomous, less inhibited regions of the right, which Siegel traces to the effects of the failed wars after 9/11, the thesis being something like: when the globe-bestriding American military colossus can't beat a bunch of goat herders, it powerfully undermines the projective identity that so many men, and particularly men on the right, have had with American military power. Its power is our power, is how they felt, and so then when its power is undermined so thoroughly, it strikes right at the core of people's identity, their sense of themselves as men. And what some people did with that searing sense of impotence was to turn it not just against the left, which is traditional right-wing move, but against the American soldier himself, and then behind him against what the American soldier traditionally has represented, which is American power, American might, American manliness. Attached to that is a historical narrative, a quite conspiratorial one, that the long period that most of us think of as a kind of golden age of American power and manliness, from the end of WW II to the end of the Cold War, was in fact a long, deep con perpetrated by the globalists on the real American men, who were its innocent victims. All that time that we thought we were powerful, by virtue of our affiliation and identification with American power, we were in fact being manipulated and betrayed. (Jacob and I wouldn't say “we,” of course, since as Jews we were perpetrators of the con, not its victims.)So that's argument one, and the other argument, which I think is downstream of that one, is that an effect of all that — the loss of the wars, the cultural and political reaction to it — is that the cultural ideal of the American man has become exhausted. That figure who stood a certain way, held a cigarette a certain way, often looked on the world with a certain cool disdain, has died or at least has gone conspicuously silent. An archetype that was capacious enough over the decades to manifest in figures as diverse as manly Hemingway, the dandy Gatsby, the stoic Marlboro Man, swaggering Muhammad Ali, and the alienated Kurt Cobain seems no longer to be producing new manifestations of itself. The world spirit has abandoned him/us. Then braiding through these two arguments is Jacob's own story of being in the wars. He did 15 months in Iraq, and then after some years in which he rather failed to figure out life as a civilian, he signed up again and went to Afghanistan. And it was in that space, he writes, that he was able to reassemble himself in a way that could eventually go on to do some flourishing in the aftermath. The piece opens with a road trip he takes with a bunch of enlisted guys from his unit, men over whom he had command. They semi-licitly liberated a van from the motor pool, and they went to see families of two soldiers who'd been killed by an IED in their last month over there. He talks about being the only officer in this tight group of enlisted men, some of whom had some real suspicion of him. He writes about his sense of guilt and dislocation during the interregnum between his two stints. He and I talk about that. We go into his theory of how the right talked itself into treating World War II as the original sin of American betrayal, how that recasts the Greatest Generation as a bunch of cucks, how a guy like Tucker Carlson, who was such a cheerleader for the Iraq War, has re-imagined himself into a state of metaphysical victimhood and purity, and how the big story of the betrayal of the American man has a weird double-sidedness to it— the true American man is pure, because he's not responsible for the nation's sins, but he also has no agency. He's a dupe, a cuck.And so on. We get deep in the shit, in other words. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope you do too. Peace. This is a public episode.

What does it mean to truly live well after a melanoma diagnosis?In this heartfelt episode of Beyond the Clinic: Living Well with Melanoma, Dr. Samantha Siegel sits down with melanoma advocate Mary Margaret Braddock to discuss her journey from a Stage IB melanoma diagnosis at age 40 through three recurrences—and ultimately to no evidence of disease.Mary Margaret shares the emotional realities of living with uncertainty, balancing hope and fear, navigating survivorship, and discovering purpose through advocacy. Together, she and Dr. Siegel explore the challenges that often continue long after treatment ends, including scan anxiety, post-traumatic growth, finding a "new normal," and the healing power of connecting with others who understand the experience.This inspiring conversation reminds us that survivorship isn't simply about reaching the end of treatment—it's about learning how to live fully while carrying both the challenges and the gifts that cancer can leave behind.In this episode, you'll learn about:Living through multiple melanoma recurrencesCoping with uncertainty and scan anxietyThe emotional journey of survivorshipFinding meaning through patient advocacyThe value of peer support and connecting with othersBuilding resilience while embracing life's new normalWhy community can be one of the most powerful forms of healingWhether you're newly diagnosed, living with melanoma, supporting a loved one, or navigating life after treatment, this conversation offers encouragement, practical wisdom, and hope for the road ahead.About our Guest: Mary Margaret Braddock was initially diagnosed in 2016 with stage 1B melanoma at just 40 years old. Over the next decade, she experienced three additional recurrences; as of December 2025, she has no evidence of disease. Her personal battle with melanoma has motivated her to raise awareness, fund research, and advocate for other patients. Her engaging personality makes her a natural public speaker, leading to invitations to school events and appearances in local media, where she encourages newly diagnosed patients and connects with fellow survivors. Since 2023, Mary Margaret has served as Chair of AIM at Melanoma's Steps Against Melanoma walk in Tampa, Florida. This role has been especially meaningful to her because it afforded her the opportunity to raise funds for melanoma research while promoting sun safety in her home state. Most recently, her advocacy work has included attending the Melanoma Research Foundation's Hill Day events and the Melanoma Research Alliance Research Retreat, where she contributed the patient perspective to their ongoing efforts. Mary Margaret's journey has been both physical and emotional. At every stage, she has navigated the coexistence of shock and survival, gratitude and grief, and setbacks and growth. She says that embracing this balance is the key to holding on to hope and adapting to a new normal. 

Happy 4th of July to my listeners in the USA…and all of those around the world who also celebrate the day!It's a big one because the US is celebrating 250 years of independence this year. And to mark this special day, I have a special guest, Professor Nancy Siegel, and we are going to talk about the roles food and drink – especially tea and cake – played.Nancy Siegal is Professor of Art History and Culinary History at Towson University, Maryland. She specialises in American landscape studies, underrepresented women artists of the 19th century, print culture, and culinary history of the 18th and 19th centuries. Lucky for me, Nancy was in London, visiting the British Library at the same time I was in London, so we got to record this conversation in person in the breakfast room of Nancy's hotel, the Harlingford Hotel – a big thank you to them.Nancy has an excellent book that isn't out until the autumn, but I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek at it, called Political Appetites: The Power of Food in Revolutionary America, published by Johns Hopkins University Press. In that book, Nancy documents the roles food and drinks, especially tea (and its trappings) played in the colonists of North America wanting to sever their ties with Britain, and how food was used to help distance themselves culturally from the British – at first the colonists very much identified as British.We talk about the tax on tea and the Boston Tea Party, tea alternatives, culinary activists such as the women of Edenton, giant independence cakes, Amelia Simmons, and how the people of the new USA used food and drink to culturally distance themselves from the British – amongst many other things.Those listening to the secret podcast get LOADS of bonus material where we discuss George III's botanist, pride in abundance, the value of hunting out original documents, baking fails, the all-American apple pie, and the function of satire – plus more.Nancy's page on the Towson University websitePolitical Appetites: The Power of Food in Revolutionary AmericaSeason 10 of the podcast is sponsored by Netherton Foundry, makers of high-quality kitchen and outdoor cookware.

Episode 298 of Tom Clark's 6M Podcast is a look at The Superman Wars: A Battle for Truth, Justice, and an American Icon by William Bernhardt. Tom breaks down the 2026 book that explores the decades-long battle behind the creation of Superman, focusing on Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's journey from two young creators in Cleveland to the men who changed comics forever. He examines how Superman was born, the infamous $130 sale to DC, the legal battles over ownership, and the decades of struggle for creator recognition, compensation, and credit. He also discusses Bernhardt's research into the court cases, copyright fights, the restoration of the creators' names, the impact of industry legends who fought on Siegel and Shuster's behalf, and what the Superman saga means for modern creators protecting their own work. Is The Superman Wars a powerful reminder of the human cost behind one of the world's greatest fictional icons, or does the complicated legal history show just how difficult creator rights remain in entertainment?

Production gaps are often blamed on low case acceptance or insufficient diagnosis, but the real issue may begin with how the schedule is structured, protected, and maintained. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt talks with dental practice coach Ariel Siegel about identifying whether lost production begins in the schedule or the operatory. You will learn how reappointment systems, downtime monitoring, intentional scheduling, and future schedule protection can create more consistent production and smoother clinical days. To understand where production gaps begin and what your team can do about them, listen to Episode 1063 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysProduction problems may result from scheduling systems even when diagnosis and treatment acceptance remain strong.Constantly filling last-minute openings prevents administrative team members from completing other production-building activities.Filling schedule gaps with unsuitable appointments can disrupt the intended flow and energy of the clinical day.Strong reappointment systems help patients understand why they are returning and reduce future cancellations.Protecting the future schedule allows the team to maintain production goals and minimize bottlenecks.Monitoring doctor and hygiene downtime reveals both large openings and smaller gaps that accumulate throughout the day.Designing the schedule around provider energy and appointment type supports more consistent monthly production and revenue.Snippets:00:00 Metric Mondays Intro01:19 Schedule vs Operatory02:20 Why Gaps Happen03:28 When It Goes Wrong04:26 Scramble Fill Trap06:51 Getting It Right07:57 Protect Future Schedule09:17 Design Around Energy10:07 Action Steps Today11:17 Resources and Wrap Up11:57 Final Thanks and OutroGuest Bio/Guest Resources:Ariel has a master's in healthcare administration and several years of dental experience in all aspects of the administrative roles within the dental office.

Psalm 103: The Heart of Praise Speaker: Matt Angell Read Psalm 13 for next week!

“I didn't know there was a need.” Two years ago, Dr. Irv Siegel, a past president of Beit Rayim Synagogue in Vaughan, Ont., heard about growing food insecurity in York Region, one of Canada's wealthiest suburbs, where one in five families faces food insecurity. He was surprised to learn that hundreds of public school kids in Thornhill and Richmond Hill often come to school without lunch. So for the past two years, volunteers from the synagogue have shown up every Thursday morning with fresh produce and bagels to feed students they will never met. Siegel's successful Feed the Children School Lunch program hit a milestone last week: it's now provided 7,000 nutritious lunches to students in four York Region public schools. They don't write a cheque: instead they bring all the food, wash and assemble all the lunch bags on site, and deliver the meals to the school office before the bell rings. School staff say these meals are sorely needed. The program doesn't operate anonymously. For organizer Irv Siegel, the Star of David on every lunch bag is intentional. He wanted students, families and educators in York Region's diverse public schools to know that a Jewish community was reaching beyond its own walls to help its neighbours. On today's episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, host Ellin Bessner takes you inside this noteworthy response to childhood hunger. And full disclosure: she volunteers there, too.

Most dentists believe they need more new patients, but the real problem may be how well they are using the patients, providers, and chair time they already have. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt brings back Ariel Siegel, ACT Dental coach, to explain why active patient count, pre-appointment percentage, capacity utilization, and annual patient value matter before investing in new patient growth. Learn how to identify whether your practice has a patient problem or a utilization problem, and how to start improving schedule efficiency with the data you already have. To grow more predictably with the patients already in your practice, listen to Episode 1060 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Practices should evaluate utilization of current patients and provider capacity before pursuing more new patients.New patients can add pressure because phone calls, relationship building, and appointments require more time and energy.A healthy active patient count is often around 1,200 to 1,500 patients per provider.Unscheduled active patients and low pre-appointment rates reveal opportunities within the existing patient base.Chair time utilization around 90% to 95% creates productive schedules while leaving some flexibility.Annual patient value helps determine whether a practice needs more patients or better production per patient.Capacity tracking should be reviewed consistently so each provider column has accountability.Snippets:00:00 Metric Mondays Intro01:50 Meet Ariel Siegel02:14 More Patients Myth04:18 Active Patient Benchmarks08:07 When Utilization Fails10:33 Redefining Growth11:56 Capacity Utilization Targets14:36 Action Plan With APV18:06 Vision And Wrap Up18:33 Final GoodbyeGuest Bio/Guest Resources:Ariel has a master's in healthcare administration and several years of dental experience in all aspects of the administrative roles within the dental office.

As we've always said, Gettysburg history is fascinating. Today, LBG Ralph Siegel has decided to tak your questions about ANYTHING you've wanted to know about the Battle of Gettysburg. That's right, it's an open-ended Ask A Gettysburg Guide, reminiscent of the early days when we didn't do one topic per show. Because viewers were allowed to ask anything, Ralph addresses several highly specific tactical decisions and long-standing controversies: 1. Dan Sickles and the July 2nd Vanguard: A listener question sparks a debate over Major General Daniel Sickles' controversial decision to move his Third Corps out of line and forward into the Peach Orchard and Wheatfield. Ralph dissects whether this move unauthorizedly broke Meade's line or accidentally acted as a critical speedbump that blunted the Confederate assault. The Culps Hill vs. Cemetery Hill Logistics: The stream touches on the desperate fighting on the Union right flank on the night of July 2nd, analyzing how close the Confederates actually came to cutting off the Baltimore Pike—the Union army's lifeline. Lee's Aggression vs. Longstreet's Caution: Ralph tackles the evergreen debate over the July 3rd strategy. He weighs Robert E. Lee's insistence on a grand frontal assault (Pickett's Charge) against James Longstreet's alternative proposals to swing south around the Union flank to find better defensive ground. Meade's Pursuit Post-July 3rd: Ralph addresses the frequent criticism that General George Meade was "too cautious" in letting Lee escape back across the Potomac River. He breaks down the physical exhaustion of the Union troops, the torrential rains, and the heavily fortified Confederate lines at Williamsport that made a direct Union attack highly risky. 2. Niche History & The Human Element The Post-Battle Nightmare: The show moves past high strategy to look at the immediate aftermath of July 4th. Ralph paints a vivid picture of the logistical crisis facing the town of Gettysburg—dealing with tens of thousands of wounded men, burning thousands of dead horses, and the immediate arrival of grieving families looking for their loved ones. Regimental Spotlights: Ralph takes specific questions regarding lesser-known regiments and their unique monument locations on the field, explaining the nuances of how modern visitors can "read" the battle lines just by looking at where monuments face. 3. The Philosophy of Battlefield Guiding Ralph offers a behind-the-scenes look at the rigorous process of becoming a Licensed Battlefield Guide (LBG). He notes how modern research and newly digitized soldier letters are constantly changing our understanding of the three days, forcing guides to continuously debunk 150-year-old myths (such as the idea that the battle was fought over a random supply of shoes).

How did “disinformation” become the all-purpose explanation for American politics? In this eye-opening conversation, journalist Jacob Siegel reveals how a century-old progressive vision of expert rule evolved into today's censorship-industrial complex — from Woodrow Wilson's propaganda machine to the Hunter Biden laptop suppression and beyond. Siegel, author of the new book The Information State, traces the hidden history of information control and explains how governments and tech platforms now shape what we see, say, and believe.CHAPTERS:(00:00 Introduction)(00:48 Discovering Disinformation Everywhere in 2016)(04:00 Misinformation, Disinformation & Malinformation Explained)(08:23 The Hamilton 68 Censorship Scandal)(12:15 The Hunter Biden Laptop Suppression)(18:45 The Progressive Origins: Woodrow Wilson to the Creel Committee)(35:00 What Should Replace the Information State?)(41:10 Rebuilding Borders on the Internet)(45:59 Is the Censorship Apparatus Still a Threat?)JACOB SIEGEL LINKS:

Blending legal insight, historical research, and deeply human storytelling, Bernhardt delivers the definitive account of one of the most consequential and misunderstood creator-rights battles in American pop culture history.For generations, Superman has stood as a symbol of hope, morality, and idealism. Yet few readers know the true story behind his creation or the devastating cost paid by his original creators. In The Superman Wars, Bernhardt pulls back the curtain on the legal, cultural, and ethical conflicts that shaped the Man of Steel and forever changed the comics industry. “Most people think they know the backstory of Superman. They don't,” says Bernhardt. Rather than retelling a well-known pop culture narrative, Bernhardt reframes Superman as history. He traces the character's creation to two young men, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, whose work helped define an industry while leaving them financially and creatively vulnerable. Their experience became one of the earliest and most influential examples of creators losing control of their intellectual property to powerful corporations.Bernhardt's background as a lawyer gives him a unique lens through which to examine the legal battles surrounding Superman. He translates complex copyright disputes into an accessible narrative, showing how early publishing contracts routinely stripped creators of long-term rights in exchange for modest, short-term compensation. These practices shaped not only the comics industry but the broader entertainment landscape.The Superman Wars places Superman within the social and historical context of the late 1930s, a time marked by economic hardship and global uncertainty. Bernhardt explains why Superman emerged at precisely the right moment in American history and why his emphasis on moral clarity and justice resonated so deeply with readers seeking reassurance and hope. The Superman Wars also speaks directly to modern creators. The book raises enduring questions about ownership, fairness, and the balance between art and commerce. Bernhardt argues that Siegel's story remains deeply relevant in today's publishing, film, and digital media industries. The book arrives amid renewed cultural attention on Superman, as the character continues to evolve for new generations across film, television, and publishing. Bernhardt contends that understanding Superman's past is essential to shaping the future and to ensuring greater protections for creators moving forward. Blending meticulous research with compelling narrative, The Superman Wars stands as both a tribute to creative vision and a cautionary tale about power, legacy, and justiceBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Aunque su muerte acaparó los titulares, jamás se efectuó ningún arresto. Siegel tenía muchos enemigos, pero ¿quién lo mató y por qué? Percy Fawcett y la Ciudad Perdida de Z Percy Fawcett, uno de los exploradores más famosos del mundo, se obsesionó con una ciudad perdida en lo profundo de la Amazonia, un lugar al que llamó la Ciudad perdida de Z. Desapareció mientras intentaba encontrarla y, pese a incontables expediciones, nadie ha logrado descubrir su destino. ¿Qué ocurrió con Percy Fawcett… y dónde se encuentra la ciudad perdida?

Why does hygiene feel “booked out” and still leave you scrambling to fill holes at the last minute? In this episode, Kirk Behrendt talks with ACT coach Ariel Siegel about why an underperforming hygiene schedule is almost always a systems problem—and how to fix it with two foundational levers: a strong reappointment/recare follow-up system and a calibrated periodontal protocol. You'll learn what breakdowns create reactive scheduling, what “getting it right” looks like in the numbers and in patient communication, and what your team can do today to start rebuilding predictability in hygiene. Listen to Episode 1051 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:A consistently full hygiene schedule depends on two core systems: strong reappointment/recare follow-up and a strong periodontal protocol.When systems are missing, teams become reactive and spend significant time scrambling to fill last-minute openings.Automated reminders are necessary, but they cannot replace a defined recare follow-up process that tracks and re-engages unscheduled patients.“Booked out” hygiene can still indicate a breakdown if the practice is constantly scrambling to fill tomorrow's holes.A strong hygiene reappointment process requires patients to leave with the next visit scheduled and a clear understanding of why they are returning.A calibrated perio protocol increases consistent diagnosis, patient understanding, and acceptance, which supports both hygiene stability and restorative scheduling.Building systems up front reduces future effort and prevents the ongoing “chasing patients” cycle that patients often resist.Snippets:01:55 The two systems that keep the hygiene schedule predictably full.03:50 What it looks like when hygiene scheduling is broken and the team becomes reactive.04:20 Why reminders can't be the whole recare system.05:40 “We're booked out months” but still scrambling—what that signals.07:10 What “getting it right” looks like: reappointment commitment and follow-up tracking.09:00 How calibrating a perio protocol changes perio percentages and 4000 codes.11:30 Stop chasing patients—capture commitment while they're in the practice.12:10 What your team can do today: find the gaps driving last-minute holes.12:40 The easiest short-term win: improve hygiene reappointment expectations.14:05 Why perio protocol calibration takes alignment, tools, and consistent messaging.16:10 Systems save hours: invest now instead of living in reactive mode.16:55 Where to find BPA resources for hygiene reappointment/recare follow-up and calibrated perio protocol.Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Ariel has a master's in healthcare administration and several years of dental experience in all aspects of the administrative roles within the dental office.

Most of us are aware that the digital age we are living through is a time of incredible transformation. But we may not have contemplated what we'd like to see preserved — things like free speech. Some years ago, our guest on this week's program began investigating political censorship. What he found was bigger, more all-encompassing, and in fact more interesting. In his new book, he argues that we have entered an entirely new political epoch, that of the information state.Jacob Siegel is an American journalist. He is the special features editor for Tablet Magazine and co-host of the Manifesto! podcast.

Burnout can feel like a personal failure, but it often shows up because the business isn't operationally aligned. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt brings back coach Ariel Siegel to explain why burnout is a business signal, what numbers reveal the real problem, and which metrics to track so your schedule, profitability, and energy feel more sustainable. You'll learn how days worked, write-offs, and margin create (or relieve) pressure — and what to start measuring right now to regain control. Listen to Episode 1048 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Burnout often feels personal, but it is typically a signal that something in the business is not working.Adding more hours, skipping lunch, and squeezing in patients can increase effort without delivering proportional financial relief.Days worked and write-offs have risen significantly post-COVID, creating instability and stress when margin becomes inconsistent.Recovery is a requirement for success, and time away from the practice must be built in, not “earned” later.Dentists must track the true number of clinical days worked because most don't know the real number from the prior year.Margin matters more than production because it shows what is left after overhead and debt, and it reveals profit leaks.Write-offs must be understood by source so you can see how many days you are effectively working “for free” and build a plan to improve.Snippets:00:00 Metric Monday Intro01:35 Burnout Is A Signal03:36 When It Goes Wrong04:56 Post COVID Metrics Shift06:16 Margin Stress Spiral08:26 Getting It Right09:51 Track Days And Margin13:15 Busy But Not Profitable14:55 Action Step Write Offs16:47 Resources And Wrap UpGuest Bio/Guest Resources:Ariel has a master's in healthcare administration and several years of dental experience in all aspects of the administrative roles within the dental office.

A Brilliant Adaptation: How Dissociative Identity Disorder and the Power of the Therapeutic Bond Saved Me (New Harbinger Publications, 2026) is a searing and profound memoir of one woman's journey through dissociative identity disorder and childhood sexual abuse--and how she found hope, healing, and recovery.  Sally Maslansky is living the perfect life: a beautiful home in Malibu, California, a successful Hollywood producer husband who adores her, and a recently adopted son she treasures. But when Sally begins to remember the trauma she endured as a child, her world begins to unravel. In this gripping and provocative memoir, psychotherapist Maslansky shares how childhood sexual abuse led her to develop dissociative identity disorder (DID), and how, with the help of renowned therapist Daniel J. Siegel, she ultimately recovers. The book reveals the power of therapeutic bond to heal deep attachment wounds, the science of neuroplasticity in healing the traumatized mind, and our capacity as human beings to reconcile unspeakable experiences in order to grow, change, and live vibrant, loving, and joyful lives against all odds. Together with Siegel, Maslansky slowly recovers her childhood memories and reconnects with the forgotten parts of herself--parts that she grows to admire, respect, honor, and love, because they literally saved her young mind from unimaginable horrors. In the book, Siegel describes Maslansky's DID as a brilliant adaptation of the mind--a protective force that kept her mentally safe when the people she should have trusted most were the ones responsible for her abuse. Whether you have struggled with DID yourself, love someone who has DID, or are simply looking to be inspired by the tenacity of the human spirit, this memoir offers a provocative glimpse into an often pathologized and misunderstood condition, and shows the profound and healing possibilities of therapy, human understanding, and the will to survive.
