Podcasts about Soapbox

Today we take on some of the questions we get from parents. How can you give room freedom if your teenager shares that room with a sibling? What can parents do about making sure their adolescent is eating well? Also, Jessica accidentally hits a nerve with Dr. Ken by asking about what sources parents use to get parenting advice. Cue the soapbox. If you have a minute, please leave us a review. We love hearing listeners encouraging other listeners. You can order Dr. Ken's book "Feeding The Mouth That Bites You" here: https://a.co/d/hBnlbzI Got questions or feedback?

Send me a messageWhat if the data you already have could unlock massive sustainability and profitability gains in your supply chain?In this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I'm joined by Danny He, CEO of Soapbox, who makes a compelling case that the real barrier to progress isn't a lack of technology, it's fragmented data and disconnected workflows.We unpack how most supply chains are still operating on siloed systems that don't communicate, forcing businesses to rely on outdated, manual processes that drive waste, overproduction, and cost. Danny shares why true end-to-end visibility requires more than dashboards or AI hype - it needs integrated, real-time data from every part of the ecosystem, including 3PLs and transport providers.We also explore how tackling overproduction, often 5-25% of inventory in many businesses, is one of the most overlooked sustainability opportunities. Less waste, lower emissions, and better cash flow. What's not to like?If you've ever struggled with aged stock, lack of inventory visibility, or systems that don't talk to each other, this episode is for you.We also touch on:✔ Why most companies are nowhere near “just-in-time” inventory, and how they could be✔ The real role of AI in supply chain (spoiler: it's not a magic wand)✔ How better data can reduce waste before products are even madeListen now and let me know, what's stopping your organisation from achieving true end-to-end supply chain visibility?#SupplyChain #Sustainability #DataDrivenSupplyChain #InventoryManagement #SupplyChainTechnology #AI #JustInTime #CircularEconomy #DigitalTransformation #EmissionsReduction #SupplyChainVisibilityElevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain' podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, Trent is left alone in the Toy Power Studio whilst Ben and Scot are in Melbourne for the wedding of Fresh and Jessie (Congrats!), and Frank is off to the airport to welcome back Ali from London and Paris (yes, he survived 2 weeks of solo parenting). And just when it was time to bust out the Soapbox monologues, Colin comes to the rescue. Its all things Kickstarter including the incredible upcoming books titled G.I.JOE: A Real American Hero Field Guides by 3DJOES, and the arrival of the Creature Commando's wave 1 (4 figures - large animal warriors inspired by Battle Beasts) and then its over to another instalment of the Vintage Toy line Retrospective as we delve into a long running construction toy originally created by Milton Bradley - 1984's Robotix. Its the modular, motorized robot construction toy that was ahead of its time, which got 15 six minute long episodes (with a plot twist no-one saw coming) and a single issue comic book! Dan Larson refers to it as an "oddity", and a toy that was too nerdy and educational for the cool kids! A couple of other bits and bobs in here too, a new Lego certified store opening in SA, as well as some tariff analysis and Colin's take on how Canadian's feel about becoming the 51st US state. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/3djoes/3djoes-field-guidesSupport the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this wholly sponsored Soap Box edition of the show, Patrick Gray chats with Adam Bateman and Luke Jennings from Push Security. Push has built an identity security platform that collects identity information and events from your users' browsers. It can detect phish kits and shut down phishing attempts, protect SSO credentials, and find shadow/personal account that a user has spun up. It's extremely difficult to bypass. That's because when you're in the browser it doesn't matter how a phishing link arrives, or how a threat actor has concealed it from your detection stack – if the user sees it, Push sees it. There are solutions for protecting your users SSO credentials, like passkeys. But what about all the SaaS in your environment? Even if it's enrolled into your SSO, are you sure that's how your users are authenticating to it? What about the automation platforms your developers and admins use? What about data platforms like Snowflake? Are your using setting up passkeys for those accounts? How would you know, and what problems can it cause if those accounts are vulnerable? This is a fun one! This episode is also available on Youtube. Show notes

Host Brian Washburn chats with learning consultant and author Mike Taylor about his new book, Think Like a Marketer, Train Like an L&D Pro, which he co-authored with Bianca Baumann. Taylor dives into the overlap between marketing and learning & development (L&D), arguing that marketers are far better at capturing attention and sparking behavior change, two areas where L&D often falls short. He shares ways that, with just a shift in mindset, applying marketing principles to training design can create a strikingly more engaging and effective learning experience.

This week, the guys welcome artist, songwriter, singer, and record producer Cameron Mizell to the show. They dive into his music career and his current role at Soapbox, a company revolutionizing the way fans experience music through life-size 3D holograms of pop culture artists, accessible via a Meta Quest app. The conversation expands into the power of visualization, out-of-body experiences, encounters with orbs, synchronicities, healing from trauma, and the deeper connections between music and consciousness. 

Get in! We're getting on our soapboxes together! This week, I asked you to hop up on your imaginary soapboxes and shout into the void (aka our inbox) about the random things you care way too much about—and oh boy, you delivered. Expect hot takes, wholesome rants, and at least one tangent about whales that we didn't see coming. It's chaotic, it's heartfelt, it's hilarious, and it's proof that everyone has something they could give a TED Talk about. Thanks for listening besties!

On today's Marc Cox Morning Show, Marc and Kim cover a wide range of topics, starting with the recent stock market plunge. Marc dives into why the panic over tariffs is unwarranted and reassures listeners about the market's future. The duo also explores the shifting identities of political figures like AOC and Jasmine Crockett, offering insight into the evolving left-wing strategies. Marc's Soapbox segment brings a calm approach to the market fluctuations, backing Trump's trade stance and emphasizing the importance of long-term strategy. Kim on a Whim takes a turn to the bizarre with the story of a Georgia dad who falsely claimed to leave his kids in danger for a job interview, only to have his GoFundMe campaign unravel. The show wraps up with Marc's son singing Baby Shark, an earworm that's bound to stick with you all day.

On today's Marc Cox Soapbox, Marc calls for calm in the face of recent stock market fluctuations. Despite sensational headlines warning of economic collapse, he urges listeners to look beyond the short-term noise and trust the long-term strategy set by President Trump. He breaks down the reality behind the market drop, explaining how Wall Street's reaction is just temporary discomfort as the U.S. takes a necessary stand on global trade. With a fiery defense of Trump's tariffs and policies, Marc reassures that the economic shift will lead to a stronger, fairer global position for America, despite temporary market dips.

On this episode of the Marc Cox Morning Show, Marc & Kim discuss the latest stock market dip and the panic over tariffs, debunking media-driven fears and emphasizing the long-term benefits of President Trump's global trade strategy. They also touch on the entertainment world, from the Blues' win to the quirky Savannah Bananas. Marc's Soapbox addresses economic stability amid market downturns, urging listeners to trust the bigger picture. The conversation continues with a deep dive into GoFundMe scandals, like the bizarre case of Georgia dad Chris Lewis and his fabricated story. Later, Marc covers local issues, from St. Louis County's property assessments to national trade impacts. Special segments include a spotlight on the Guns and Hoses Queen of Hearts raffle supporting the Backstoppers, and Chad Pergram from Fox News breaks down the latest Washington D.C. news, including the Senate's tax and spending bill and the challenges facing Speaker Mike Johnson.

Miguel is HEATED as we open about a dental bill—and also a situation where he feels that age discrimination is happening. Get ready for some explosive anger!

The Marc Cox Soapbox: Marc is back with a fiery take on what they're calling "Liberation Day," where Marc brings the heat on the topic of tariffs and the U.S. relationship with global trade. He dives into the controversy surrounding the massive tariffs imposed by other countries, specifically Japan, which charges a staggering 700% tariff on U.S. rice. Marc questions why the U.S. has put up with these unfair practices for so long and points out that it's time for President Trump to take a stand. He discusses the real damage these tariffs have caused to American industries and the need for the U.S. to regain control of its trade policies. Marc also recalls Trump's long-standing concerns about free trade and the exploitation of American businesses, backed by a historical clip of Trump in 1987. Marc challenges listeners to think critically about why foreign tariffs are allowed to persist and the benefits that certain political players might have reaped from the situation.

In this Soap Box edition of Risky Business host Patrick Gray talks to Knocknoc CEO Adam Pointon about how to easily rein in attack surface by glueing your single sign-on service to your network controls. Do your Palo Alto and Fortinet devices really need to be discoverable by ransomware crews? Does your file transfer appliance need to be open to the whole world? What about your SSH and RDP? Your Citrix? Your (gasp) Exchange Online servers?? You can do a lot with IP allowlisting and simple Identity Aware Proxies (IAPs) to minimise your exposure. Knocknoc is a bit of a “Risky Business special”, too. Pat helped Knocknoc to raise a seed round through Decibel Partners where he's a founder advisor. He also serves on Knocknoc's board of directors.

BrownTown finally talks Trump 2.0, local collective resistance, the election blame game, and the half century of neoliberalism got us here. As the news cycles have been dominated by Trump, tariffs, Musk, and the MAGA mess, BrownTown speaks candidly on the the first few months of the new (yet old) administration, and how to not only resist the re-branded fascist takeover but unapologetically and collectively fight it and win (without relying on the same institutions that made it possible in the first place). BrownTown also reflects on where the podcast and SoapBox at-large was during Trump 1.0, comparing and contrasting both moments. Caullen and David unpack the Right's “shock and awe” strategy, Chicago ICE raids and the community response, Trumpism and weaponization of whiteness, and when the manniverse met the broligarchy. As we try to sift through poor analysis of this moment with even worse political actors, we're left with the words from comrade Asha Ransby-Sporn who proclaims that "we owe it to each other to resist attempts to disorient, divide, and distract us from the reality of government takeover by the billionaire Right […] The conditions of the moment demand that we are clear-eyed enough to meet the conjuncture and find openings for those new paths forward” (In These Times).

Episode 55: Sunshine and Rainbows…from the SEC. Just a couple short weeks ago I told you all about President Trump's executive order on crypto, which was heavy on happy speak and light on substance.   Of course, literally as I was recording that episode, the SEC started putting its money where its mouth is. Indeed, since I started speaking into that mic a couple weeks ago the SEC has: Repealed SAB 121, restarted its crypto task force, paused the suit against Binance, and straight-up dropped lawsuits or investigations into Coinbase, RobinHood, OpenSea and Uniswap (among other things). Don't be alarmed, this lightning pace won't scare away the sunshine and rainbows. It's a new day in the SEC's approach to crypto, so break out the popcorn and get comfortable. It's shaping up to be a fun few years.  Key Points From This Episode: Quick rundown of recent SEC actions.Deep dive into the SEC's crypto task force and what it plans to do.Description of why these developments promote the SEC's mission.Soapbox moment.Reminiscing about Whac a Mole. Disclaimer: This show is for informational purposes only.

In this SoapBox edition of the show Patrick Gray chats to Fletcher Heisler, the CEO of open-source identity provider Authentik. The whole idea of Authentik is you can take control of an essential IT and security function: identity. Because Authentik is open source it's extremely flexible, and if you're running it yourself, you get to decide where your IDP should sit in your architecture. You can run it on prem if you're an emergency call centre or you're operating an airgapped network, or you can spin it up in your cloud environment if you're a typical enterprise. Fletcher talks through the reasons Authentik users are decoupling themselves from the major SaaS Identity Providers, and the flexibility that comes from being able to assemble exactly what you need. This episode is also available on Youtube. Show notes

I am so excited to be here with you today. This is Tiffanie. I never introduced myself, which is weird. Hopefully there's like some sort of intro that goes to that. just thought of that. Anyhow, here we are. Another day, another podcast. And first and foremost, I want to thank all of you guys who listen. I know we get a lot of practice assessment.   schedules from people who listen to our podcasts. That's how you guys are finding us. And it just means a lot to us that you're here, that you're with us, that you're supporting us. We want to support you and we are doing forever. As far as I can tell, we're doing new free practice assessments for practices all over, all over the country, all over the world. Sometimes we get Canadian practices and it's super cool. I know we've worked with practices all the way in New Zealand and it's just really cool. And these complimentary practice assessment tools.   are fantastic because we really are helping you deep dive and figure out where your focus should be or could be to get you to the results that you're looking to gain, whether you're gonna work with us one-on-one in a group fashion or just continue being a listener no matter what. We love doing these complimentary practice assessments with you guys. And it's just really fun. It's so cool to see where dentistry is at and where you guys are at.   wins and the struggles you guys are having and it's just, it's super awesome. So thank you to everybody who's here with us today. We are excited to take you on this journey with us and doctors and practice owners, leaders, whoever's here today. I really wanted to chat here. I've got my girl Dana with me and I wanted to chat about projections, scheduling, reaching goals. I think that's a huge focus.   for everyone always needs to reach goals, right? But I think in 2025 so far, Dana, like we need to heavily focus on this because 2024, there was a lot that happened in 2024. It was a weird, it was a wild year, right? Like was so weird. It felt like, okay, we're getting momentum with everyone. And then it was like two steps forward, one step back, five steps forward, three steps back. And it was like, gosh, we're getting momentum. But it was an uphill battle in 2024. I don't know what happened, but holy cow, this year feels cleaner already. It feels different.   Dana (01:57.805) wild.   The Dental A Team (02:17.795) And I think everyone's kind of shifted their focus to the areas to be able to see what's the most important. So I'm excited to chat with you about that today, Dana, and I hope our listeners are excited for this one. I wanted to just have a conversation around what impacts production from a schedule standpoint, not technical scheduling, right? Not our blog scheduling. We've done a million freaking podcasts on that. Dana and I are not doing that today.   Dana (02:45.276) No?   The Dental A Team (02:47.601) But really those other pieces that impact it and how doctors can and practice owners can look at these factors and project. It's still early enough in the year that if you haven't done this yet, get on it. It's totally fine and look for those pieces. So I wanted to pick your brain a little bit Dana and I think let's take it in the space of let's talk about the things that can impact and then let's talk about how we can.   project that and fix it and work it into our goals. So what are the spaces Dana that you have, your clients, and I think we likely do this the same, but what spaces and what do you have your clients look for when they are getting prepped for that next year? We're into the year and we're trying to figure out what's going on, what things impact production goals from a scheduling standpoint like that that you guys are taking a look at.   Dana (03:37.388) Yeah, I love this topic because I do think when we think about production and impacts on production, we go right to scheduling, we go right to those pieces. And so I love that today is a little bit different. And I think that sometimes we just forget that like taking a vacation is going to impact production, having holidays in there, holidays will sometimes fall on work days and sometimes not.   you know, yearly, they're different. so looking at how many holidays do we have in there looking at, if we're going to take CE, how much of that is time away from the office, team meetings and quarterly meetings and admin time, knowing all of those things, right? All of those things impact your production because then that isn't necessarily time spent taking care of patients. It's definitely needed. It's time spent working on the business. It's time spent training and, working on all of our processes. So   The Dental A Team (04:21.495) So.   Dana (04:27.664) let's not not do it because it affects production, right? Knowing it will impact your production and being able to combat that is definitely super helpful.   The Dental A Team (04:31.174) Yeah, yeah.   The Dental A Team (04:40.57) Yeah, I totally agree. think CE is something that a lot of doctors will find on a whim or be like, I need to take this course. You need to block me out these days. And if we're not projecting and planning for that or accommodating the schedule in other places, it really impacts it. I had a client that I was chatting with last week, an office manager, and she's like, Tiff, what the heck do I do? Like they want to make XML this month, but they took between the two doctors, they took two weeks off. And I'm like, well,   This is the shared reality, right? So their reality is they're not looking at that. They're not thinking about that. Your reality is that you have to get it on the schedule. And so that's the first place you look when they come to you and tell you to shut down days is you're like, well, what am I supposed to do with this? So coming to that shared reality is huge and trying to project as much as you can the CE that you want to take this year or   estimating how much CE you're willing to take time off for is always huge as well. I know I've got a few doctors that don't know when they want to take vacation or where they want to go or if they want it. And I say, you know what? That's totally fine. In the perfect world, how much vacation time do you want to take with your family? And I have one doctor that said four to six weeks. I said, great. Then plan for six. I want you to take six weeks out of your productive   numbers, days of work, right, take those six weeks out of that productive time, now estimate what you can do and how we can bump those goals. Because the reality is we need to increase production and collections by seven to ten percent every year to keep up with inflation. And team members that are listening, every year, no matter what, you're going to get a new goal. It's going to be different than it was last year. And guess what? We're doing things on the other side to help you with that.   just FYI, you're going to get a bigger goal every year. Soap. Soapbox. The days of the year that we're willing, that we're able to work, right, impact if how easily or how difficult it's going to be to get to that goal. So we've got to say, okay, this is our goal, this is the number of days we're working with, what do have to do every day to get to that goal? So it's not necessarily, this is how many days I have to work, what is my goal, it's, this is what I need to do, this is how many days I   The Dental A Team (07:03.878) I have that I'm working, how do we fix that? So I love that. And I've had a lot of doctors in the last couple of years that have really learned to just say, okay, well, I don't have it planned yet, but I would love to take three CEs this year, because I want them and I need them. And I'd love to take this much vacation with my family. Great. Swipe it off, figure it out, we move on. Other pieces that I know have come into play, in the dental industry. So   Guess what, guys? We've got a lot of babies that come along. Maternity and paternity leave is a real thing. Like, we're family. We're healthcare providers, so we are family-oriented beings. So making sure that we're considering that as well. I know a lot of offices that are like, shoot, I didn't even think about the fact that my hygienist is going to be out for three months starting in June, and what am I supposed to do? And it's May. And I'm like, my gosh.   Dana (07:59.95) you   The Dental A Team (08:00.052) Why didn't Oyrin want this information? You know, it's just like those pieces we forget about. So I love that. Like, Observed Holidays, which 2024 taught us a lesson if we were not pre-planning for Observed Holidays because Christmas and New Year's landed on wild days for that year, and it really, really messed with December production. 2025, it's similar. It's at least towards the end of the week, so you can work the beginning of both.   Dana (08:03.246) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (08:29.897) but observed holidays and how much time are you gonna give yourself and your team off during those holidays? CE, how much do you want to on vacations? How much do you want to take? How much do you aspire to take? Always go big, because you can work extra days. Team vacations, especially when it comes to providers, so associates and hygienists, you've gotta make sure we're prepped for that. Maternity and paternity leave.   making sure we're prepped for all of those situations and scenarios, and I'm sure there are some that I didn't even think about, that impact it. I do have doctors that will take some time off and then they'll work maybe extra Fridays or they'll work extra long on Thursdays where they normally would have done some admin work, which I don't love you guys getting rid of admin work. and you said, know, admin hours and meeting hours, things like that, making sure we're accounting for those things. But if you can,   pick up extra days for sure. I'm never gonna turn that down and neither will your schedulers. But making sure we're prepping and planning for that. some tools, Day, let's talk about some tools that we have that we have our clients utilize and then also that you guys who aren't yet clients, your listeners, use tools like this or reach out and we can help you with tools like this. Really narrowing in and making things easy is...   what I love in life. I hate... doesn't mean things are never going to be hard. I hate hard forever. I want hard right now, so maybe it's time consuming right now, but it's going to save me pain later. That's what I want to do. So, Dana, we have our projections sheet, so maybe talk about our projections sheet a little bit and our scorecard and how those combine and then how you're using that now two months into the year with your clients to really assess and see.   Dana (09:59.5) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (10:21.856) how their goals are going for them as we're rounding out middle of Q1.   Dana (10:26.092) Yeah, so I love our projection sheet and I feel like in 2024 I used it more than ever because 2024 was wild so let's prep and make sure 2025 stays a little less wild than 2024 was.   The Dental A Team (10:32.031) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (10:37.896) Absolutely.   Dana (10:38.766) And so really, it truly is it's mapping out I go through every month of the year with the client, how many working days are we going to have for each provider, including hygiene. And some of that does take prep work as far as hey, I need you to get that information from your heart to can they do they have any idea when they're going to take vacations? Do they have any idea and then honestly, if we don't, okay, well, how much PTO do they have and we build that in just saying like, okay, well, we know they're probably going to use their two weeks of PTO somewhere. So if we even it out throughout the   The Dental A Team (10:53.716) Mm-hmm.   The Dental A Team (11:01.909) Yeah.   Dana (11:08.72) quarters, at least we kind of have the number of days that we're working with. And so we'll go through and we'll say, where do you want to end up next year, right? We'll base it on this year, we'll look at all sorts of things. And then we go through that sheet together and we basically say, okay, if these are the number of working days, if this is the number of providers we have available, this is what it's going to take every single day from each provider to get you to your ultimate goal. So it's kind of some reverse engineering, but it also is some planning and prepping.   The Dental A Team (11:34.315) Yeah.   Dana (11:38.83) And I love that meeting with clients because a lot of that goes like a lot of things go into that projection sheet. And I love that you said, okay, well, how many CE days do you want to take? Sometimes actually CE comes down to what do we have for a CE budget next year? And then of that budget, okay, well, that can likely get you two to three CE courses, which then helps with our projections that way. So it is a lot of planning and prepping that goes into it. But I think that it really helps.   got them down to the penny what needs to happen every single day in each month and really gives them a roadmap that then as the year starts going and we bring in our scorecard we're constantly paying attention to where are we to getting to that and following that roadmap that we set out at the end of the year prior. So it's a really cool combination of tools and and I love to see especially this year is like we're   The Dental A Team (12:21.32) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (12:30.802) Yeah.   Dana (12:38.704) really customizing and tightening of the scorecard that it constantly has them assessing gaps, it constantly has them going back to that initial roadmap we set, and then like you said, really just looking for opportunities of what is the thing we need to focus on right now.   The Dental A Team (12:56.073) I love that. think you nailed it with those. The projection sheet is huge. And then coupling it with the scorecard and a piece that made me think of that's on the scorecard. And we purposely put it on the scorecard because this made a massive impact on goals being reached last year. I think every year, but last year, it really showed its face is the number of hours that were left.   open on the schedule, so they were not filled with production either in hygiene or on the doctor's schedule. So when you look at the projections, you're like, great, this is awesome. This is if I were full to 100%, this is what my estimated production could be by provider. But then when you get in there and you start utilizing the scorecard and you're looking at the production, you compare the two, you're like, why am I off and why is it hard to reach these goals? Or why am I just not there yet? Why am I not reaching this goal yet?   A lot of times it's lost in those pieces that we haven't always paid a lot of attention to, or just like we could, we should, why isn't it happening? I'm not sure. Looking at those open hours and even taking into account maybe, know, with that, that you're likely going to have like 3 % or so left open on the schedule. But looking at those open hours and saying, great, well, if I multiplied these open hours by that producer's average dollar per hour, that's going to show me I probably could have made that goal.   really focusing the attention in on there and bringing it back then to the schedulers and treatment planners and full team of handoffs and all of those pieces we talk about because of schedule working takes the full practice. So it takes you guys projecting, you guys prepping and planning takes, you know, the back office and front office working really hard together to ensure that our patients are the healthiest they possibly can be. Dana, you mentioned CE budget.   And that made me think of the other tools that we're utilizing that I hope other practices that are not yet Delay Team clients are utilizing as well. that's in the, which goes along with that projection, right? The fixed cost spreadsheets, making sure you know what your fixed costs are. That's also part of that planning and projecting because if you're fixed costs and your bare minimum production and collections that you need in order to have the overhead that you want,   The Dental A Team (15:12.587) If those aren't in alignment, right, with your projections, your projections are low, we might need to look then and say, okay, well, where can we add days back in? Because if we're not combining all of that information, again, we're just not seeing all the levels. It's like not seeing all of the colors. It's like being colorblind to orange, right? You can't see orange anywhere and you're just missing all of these flowers and things that could light up your life. It's like.   not being able to see those pieces. So the fixed cost spreadsheet and knowing what are the fixed costs, what are my average payrolls, what are my average supplies, what should this look like? Then you look at what that needs to be, what are my projections, and what can I do then minus those fixed costs? What would my overhead look like if this is the projection for that month? So then tackling that and looking at that growth percentage and profit percentage,   opportunity allows you then to again look at what you're projecting and what you're taking time off for and evaluate what do I need to do to change that result or it's perfect. And Dana, I you've been working a lot, a lot, a lot with the fixed cost spreadsheet. How has that impacted the being able to project and impact the schedule for the clients that you've got utilizing that spreadsheet?   Dana (16:35.374) Yeah, I really used to fix costs heavily this year because I do feel like that was part of the wild of 2024 is you know with everything going on and things are just more expensive wages are higher and I feel like practices we're seeing really good growth as far as looking at production but offices who weren't keeping quite an eye on expenses got some surprises because it ended up that like   The Dental A Team (16:41.294) Mm-hmm.   The Dental A Team (16:56.345) Yeah.   Dana (17:03.36) you know, we set goals based on the numbers from the previous year. And so then when this year's expenses are quite a bit higher, and they're not watching them, or that's not something, you know, that they consistently look at, it just became more necessary this year to ensure that they knew where their fixed costs were. And they also knew that, okay, if it's outside of this, right, that is like,   The Dental A Team (17:07.769) Mm-hmm.   The Dental A Team (17:17.051) you   Dana (17:28.31) an alert that like we need to take a deeper dive into this and we need to really keep an eye on it. So it was something that I really incorporated in 2024. And again, this year, I love that it is part of our scorecard and the things that we're really tracking with clients because that was an area that really hit offices hard. was like, were just giving raises and we were just saying, yep, you know what, I think I can extend my pay range for this new position to this and, just making some of these   The Dental A Team (17:29.614) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (17:56.641) Mm-hmm.   Dana (17:58.186) decisions like a little bit on the fly without crunching and saying, All right, well, what does that look like on the expense side? Or how much does that actually add to my BAM and my bottom line? And so I think that that it really was impactful this last year. And so, you know, I with you, I'm encouraging offices, even those listening to really make sure that that is a number that you know.   The Dental A Team (18:08.548) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (18:22.36) For sure, and I think you're 100 % right because our goal is to be profitable and to have a thriving business that patients can continue to come to. But when we're making decisions without knowing the full spectrum, makes it really difficult. And to combine those pieces into what you just said, the...   holiday situation at the end of the year. I know I had a lot of clients and it was like November, December. They're like, Tiff, we decided to just take the two weeks off. And it's like, my gosh, like you just deleted four days out of December and that's massive. So going from a 16 day month to a 12 day month, like if you're averaging, you know, $10,000 a day, that's 40 grand that we've now deleted at the end of the year. There's nowhere else to put that. So being able to know.   Is that 40 grand going to affect the profit, the profitability and the overhead of the practice? Do I have that saved somewhere to cover it because I'm not collecting that 40 grand in January from December, right? So having that fixed cost information and what your bare minimum is to know where your overhead will be to know, can I actually deduct 40 grand from my production?   and be okay because I've got a couple practices now, you know, into January, February that are like, Tip, why is my collections low? And I'm like, well, girl, you took two weeks off in December and we collect on a lag when it comes to dental insurances. So I'm not surprised that it was a little low in January. So I think that was brilliant to really be able to combine all of those pieces. And again, that's like missing a color in the rainbow spectrum of colors, whatever. Like, you can't, you've got to look at it all.   Dana (19:51.595) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (20:09.444) And if any of those pieces aren't missing, it could be really detrimental to the practice. So I think that was really cool, Dana. Thank you for bringing that up. You guys, it's simple. Even though it's February, if you haven't done this yet, like, that's okay. It's not December. You guys, you're not telling me in November, you're taking four days off in December. So guess what? It's only February. It's only whatever month you decided to live, you decided to listen to this in, go do these things. So look at, if you don't have the spreadsheets, if you're not one of our clients, then...   Dana (20:26.67) Thank you.   The Dental A Team (20:37.805) Create one. All you have to do is know what you can work and what your estimated dollar per hours are or reach out to us. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com We're happy to help you with some ideas and some tools as well.

Marc Cox dives into the recent controversial decision by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) to go genderless, marking a significant shift in the organization's history. He argues that the Boy Scouts' decline has been long underway, pointing to a pattern of failure to adapt and train young men. The move to allow girls into the organization was, in Marc's view, the tipping point that would eventually lead to this decision. He critiques the broader cultural trend of emasculating men, using Hollywood sitcoms as an example of how masculine behavior has been ridiculed and marginalized. Marc laments the loss of spaces like the Boy Scouts where young men could learn critical life skills, leadership, and self-reliance, suggesting that these values are rapidly disappearing from American society. #BoyScouts #Masculinity #CulturalShift #GenderlessScouts #Emasculation #AmericanCulture #MarcCox #YouthDevelopment #Leadership #TraditionalValues

Time for Ep. 4 of the Between 2 Brands #podcast with your host, Bill Petrie. This week, Bill shares some thoughts on tariffs and how toxic the conversation has become and how the fact that Super Bowl ads come out make the gameday experience “less than.” After that, Bill is joined by Brett Schaffer from Soapbox to talk about the most memorable Super Bowl ads – both good and bad and how each of them is integrating AI into their everyday businesses. Plus, as always, Bill asks Brett “Five Easy Questions” to get to know him a bit better. A HUGE thanks to our friends at Artwork Services USA for sponsoring this fine broadcast.
