Dental Photography – RIP DSLR? Why Mirrorless Cameras Are the Future – PDP239

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.

Education Planning After the One Big Beautiful Bill Act: Key 529 Plan Changes, #270

Paying for education is a major expense for many families, so I'm breaking down why 529 plans remain the preferred way to save for college, thanks to their tax advantages and flexible growth. I unpack updates, such as increased limits for K-12 tuition withdrawals, expanded uses for trade and vocational schools, and the new ability to roll funds into ABLE accounts for individuals with disabilities.  Plus, learn about the new Trump accounts, the option to roll over leftover 529 funds into your child's Roth IRA, and strategies to make the most of your education savings. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, or simply curious about planning for future expenses, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you build a successful financial future for your family. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] The One Big Beautiful Bill Act and its impact. [03:00] The two types of 529 plans - prepaid tuition and savings plans. [04:06] Paying for K through 12 tuition and out of the 529 plan up to $20,000 per year. [04:31] Wider Usage for Post-Secondary Expenses. [06:20] 529 plan rollovers to ABLE accounts. [08:52] Comparison between TRUMP accounts and 529 plans. [09:33] 529 to Roth IRA conversions. Maximizing the Power of 529 Plans Education expenses, whether for college or trade school, are among the largest financial commitments families face. Recent changes under the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” have brought new flexibility and opportunities to the popular 529 savings plans, making it easier for parents, grandparents, and guardians to invest in the futures of their loved ones.  529 plans are tax-advantaged investment accounts designed to help families save for future education costs. Investment growth within the account is tax-deferred, and withdrawals are tax-free when used for qualified education expenses. This compounding, tax-sheltered growth can make a huge difference over 15 to 18 years, leading up to a child's college enrollment. There are two main types of 529 plans: Prepaid Tuition Plans: Lock in today's tuition rates at specific colleges or state institutions to avoid the impact of future tuition increases, which often rise more than 5% per year. Savings Plans: Flexibly invest contributions with the ability to use funds at a wide range of educational institutions across the country. Key Legislative Updates in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act 1. Doubling K-12 Tuition Withdrawals Before the new legislation, families could withdraw up to $10,000 annually for K-12 tuition expenses. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act increases this limit to $20,000 per year starting January 1, 2026.  2. Expanding Qualified Expenses for K-12 The act now permits withdrawals for a broader range of K-12-related expenses, not just tuition. As of July 5th of this year, 529 account owners can use funds for: Books and instructional materials Online educational content Professional tutoring Standardized testing fees (e.g., SAT, ACT) Educational therapies for children with disabilities 3. Supporting Trade and Technical Education Not every rewarding career requires a four-year degree. The legislative updates now allow 529 withdrawals for accredited post-secondary programs like HVAC certifications, cosmetology, apprenticeships, or trade schools. These must be programs recognized by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, lead to a military credential, or carry federal/state government approval. This opens the door for practical, career-focused education to be funded just as efficiently as traditional college. Other Savings Options Also introduced under the act is the new “TRUMP account,” which may qualify children born between 2025 and 2028 for a $1,000 government contribution, with annual after-tax contributions up to $5,000. However, unlike a 529, a TRUMP account's assets are transferred directly to the child at age 18. Many may still prefer the flexibility and parental control of a 529, but the option to use both accounts and secure extra government funding adds another layer of planning potential. Perhaps one of the most exciting new features: If a 529 account has been open for at least 15 years, up to $35,000 can be rolled, subject to annual Roth IRA limits, into a Roth IRA in a child's name. This brilliant move allows any leftover college savings to start building long-term, tax-free retirement wealth for your child, giving them a valuable head start. For families supporting someone with a disability, the ABLE (Achieving a Better Life Experience) account remains a vital tool, now bolstered by the ability to make permanent rollovers from 529 accounts. Eligible for those whose disability began before age 46 (up from age 26 next year), ABLE accounts protect benefit eligibility while allowing more robust financial support for care, therapy, and independence. Planning ahead isn't just about numbers; it's about opening doors for the next generation.

In 2015, Jeremy Tate embarked on a mission to provide alternative standardized tests rooted in tradition. It all began when Jeremy questioned how American education had come to be so utilitarian, realizing that transcendent, moral, and ethical ideas had been gutted from the classroom. He came to the conclusion that high-stakes testing was partially to blame, driving secondary school curriculum. David Coleman, CEO of the College Board, has stated publicly that “teachers will teach towards the test. There is no force on this earth strong enough to prevent that.” If teaching to the test is an inescapable reality, then shouldn't those tests engage students with the thinkers and writings that have most meaningfully shaped history and culture?  Historically, the goal of education has been understood as developing both intellect and character in students. Its purpose was to help students become better human beings. Standardized tests should reflect that same goal. They should leave students feeling inspired and enriched while equipping them to pursue their goals. That's why our tests feature beautiful and meaningful content in addition to assessing timeless academic skills. By offering a new standard for assessments, CLT aims to be a catalyst for renewal in education nationwide.

 Summary  In this insightful episode, Shellee from *Parents: Is Your Teen College Ready?* emphasizes the critical importance of early and strategic planning for college, advocating that families begin this process well before high school—ideally from preschool. She highlights that while families commonly plan for major life events like marriage, children, or retirement, very few have a clear plan for their child's educational future. Shellee categorizes families into four groups regarding college planning attitudes: denial, avoidance, do-it-yourself, or hiring an expert, urging parents to recognize their current stance and take action.  Shellee shares her personal experience raising her children with a strong emphasis on exploring interests and building foundational skills from an early age, exposing them to various environments, and encouraging leadership, service, and resilience. She stresses that middle school, particularly 8th grade, is the pivotal time to start serious academic and extracurricular planning since it sets the trajectory for high school success and college readiness.  The episode also covers the evolving landscape of college admissions, which has become more competitive and costly, making an informed and deliberate approach essential. Through detailed examples from her own family, Shellee illustrates that each child may follow a unique path, but with proper planning, all can graduate debt-free and find success aligned with their goals.  Lastly, she warns parents against common misconceptions—such as relying solely on schools, teenagers, or Google for college prep—and encourages early financial conversations and accountability. Shellee offers support through free resources and discovery calls, aiming to empower parents to confidently guide their children through the college planning process.   Highlights  Early planning for college should start as early as preschool, focusing on children's interests and future options rather than immediate college choices.  Middle school, especially 8th grade, is a critical period for academic and extracurricular decisions that impact high school and college readiness.  Each child's college journey is unique; a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works, but strategic, personalized planning leads to debt-free success.  Avoid common pitfalls: don't assume schools, teens, or the internet can handle college planning alone. Parental involvement is crucial.  Financial planning and early money conversations are essential to avoid surprises and ensure college affordability.  Exposure to diverse experiences like college visits, leadership, languages, and community service cultivates well-rounded, confident students.  The college admissions process has dramatically changed; it is now more competitive, expensive, and complex, requiring expert guidance.   Key Insights

Send us a textThe words equity and equality often get used interchangeably, but this linguistic mix-up isn't just semantic – it fundamentally shapes how we approach fairness in our schools, workplaces, and communities. Equality, while well-intentioned, gives everyone identical resources regardless of their starting point. This approach sounds fair until we examine its practical implications: giving every student the exact same worksheet ignores their different learning styles, language needs, and home support systems.Equity, on the other hand, recognizes these different circumstances and allocates resources accordingly to achieve equal outcomes. It's about meeting people where they are – whether that means providing speech therapy for one student, internet access for another, or culturally relevant materials for a third. When we mistake equality for equity, we unintentionally perpetuate systems that leave marginalized groups behind. Standardized approaches that ignore historical barriers don't create true inclusion.Ready to put equity into practice? Start with a thorough resource audit to identify who has access and who's being left out. Use concrete data rather than assumptions to guide your support strategies. Most importantly, center the voices of those most impacted by your decisions – if they aren't part of creating solutions, you're likely missing critical insights. Diversify your curriculum or training materials to ensure representation across cultures and experiences. Remember that equity isn't a destination but an ongoing practice requiring continuous learning and adjustment.

July 15th, 2025, Court Leader's Advantage Podcast EpisodeOne of the major challenges facing state trial courts today is the disturbing lack of accurate national statistical data. Beneath the surface of our justice system lies a troubling truth: we often don't know, we can't know, what's really happening.How many cases do our courts handle? What kinds? How efficiently? Without reliable data, we are left to make educated guesses in the dark. This absence of clarity is not accidental, it is the result of a decentralized system ofjustice.Some of the results include:Lack of Uniform Court CodingWhat one court calls a “hearing,” another might call a “conference.” These differences seem small, but they add up to a patchwork of mismatched codes, formats, and definitions across jurisdictions.Limited Data Transparency and Public AccessEven when data exists, it is often locked behind arcane systems, hard to find, and harder to interpret.Hurdles with Data SharingDisconnected technologies, legacy systems, and inconsistent standards create silos of information making collaboration truly a challenge.Inability to Measure Performance and OutcomesWithout standardized metrics, we can't track how long cases take, how they're resolved, or whether justice is truly being served. It's like trying to navigate with a map that constantly changes shape. Addressing this challenge is the National Open Court Data Standards project (NODS). It is a collaborative effort led by the National Center for State Courts, the Conference of State Court Administrators, and the Joint Technology Committee.By creating shared standards for collecting, sharing, and interpreting court data, NODS shines a light in the shadows, allowing courts to operate with greater transparency, efficiency, and consistency.This month, we are looking at the National Open Court Data Standards project. We explore how this effort will transform access to court data for researchers, policymakers, the media, and the public. Today's Panel: The Honorable W.

Episode 340: Interview with Aaron Marcus

Acting Business Boot Camp

How to Land Acting Work in Smaller Markets (And Why It's More Accessible Than You Might Think) Have you ever thought that real acting work is only found in big cities? Like you have to be in New York or LA to make it? I used to think that too. But my conversation with actor Aaron Marcus on the Acting Business Boot Camp podcast really shifted that perspective. About Aaron Marcus Aaron Marcus has been a full-time actor for over 40 years, with nearly 1,300 bookings across film, TV, commercials, and more. You might have seen his scene with Tom Hanks in the film A Man Called Otto. Aaron started his acting journey in a small market, with no connections and no clue how to break in. After figuring it out through trial and error, he dedicated himself to helping others avoid those same pitfalls. He's led over 800 workshops on three continents and offers private virtual coaching sessions to share his hard-earned wisdom. You can learn more about Aaron's work, watch his free quick-tip videos, or sign up for his mailing list at howtoactandmodel.com. The Reality of Smaller Markets It's easy to forget that acting isn't only about movies and television. There's a whole world of paid acting work in smaller markets that most people overlook: training videos, corporate films, industrials, standardized patient work at hospitals, even local commercials and role-playing jobs for law schools and agencies. Aaron shared how he built up a steady income and impressive résumé by seizing these opportunities. And he's proof that you don't have to be in a major city to find consistent, paid work as an actor. Finding These Hidden Opportunities Aaron offered some practical insights that really stuck with me: Reach out to local businesses and small chains. These places need content to promote themselves—commercials, training videos, even social media content. Connect with teaching hospitals and medical schools in your area. Standardized patient work is fascinating and pays you to improvise as a patient to help train medical professionals. Contact advertising agencies nearby, not just the national ones. Local agencies need real people with authentic voices for regional commercials and corporate videos. And maybe my favorite point: Aaron still believes in mailing hard copies of your materials. Yes, it's old-fashioned. But it's memorable. Most emails get deleted. A real letter can make an impression. The Importance of Staying Connected Aaron also talked about the value of looping in your agent, even when you book work yourself. It's not about giving away part of your earnings. It's about showing your agent that you're proactive and working. It's about nurturing relationships and building a sense of partnership. A Reminder: There's Work for Everyone What struck me most in talking with Aaron was this simple truth: there's work out there for everyone. You just have to know where to look and be willing to take action. If you're feeling stuck or discouraged by the idea that you have to be in a big city to book work, I hope this encourages you. You don't. The opportunities are out there. They're in your community. And often, the first step is just reaching out and asking who's doing the hiring. Until next time, remember: there's work out there for everyone. Stay safe and treat yourself real well.

Systems & Processes That Drive Profit with Adi Klevit   Chaos is expensive. In this episode of The Profit Answer Man, we crack the code on how documented systems aren't just nice-to-have—they're the missing multiplier in your business's profitability formula. If you're tired of being the bottleneck, constantly putting out fires, and never getting ahead, it's time to trade the hustle for high-performance systems that scale. Our guest, Adi Klevit, reveals how business owners can create a self-operating machine by implementing and optimizing their processes.  Spoiler alert: Systems aren't the enemy of creativity—they're the foundation of freedom.    In This Episode, You'll Learn:  Why most entrepreneurs resist creating processes—and how that resistance kills profitability. The difference between organized chaos and scalable clarity. How systematization frees up your mental space AND cash flow. The connection between process documentation and higher business valuations. Why your SOPs are your secret weapon in scaling and exiting.    Key Takeaways:  “Freedom comes from structure.” Entrepreneurs crave autonomy, but lack of documented processes is what traps them in day-to-day firefighting. Systems are your escape hatch. Systematize for scalability. Want to sell your business or open new locations? Investors and buyers care about repeatability. That means documented processes. Retention tool: Losing a key employee shouldn't threaten your operations. When SOPs are in place, you retain knowledge even if you lose people. Consistency = trust = profit. Standardized delivery builds a brand customers trust—and trust drives referrals and lifetime value. Build your business to sell, even if you're not planning to. Systematizing gives you options—scale, step back, or cash out.    About Adi Klevit:  Adi Klevit is the visionary founder of Business Success Consulting Group, where she helps business owners build scalable, efficient organizations. With a 25+ year background as an Industrial Engineer and management consultant, Adi turns complexity into clarity. She's a process queen and people whisperer—combining strategy and operations into a powerhouse system that frees business owners to thrive.  She's also the host of the Systems Simplified podcast, where she interviews top entrepreneurs about the systems behind their success.    Conclusion:   Systems Drive Profit. What's the true cost of not having processes? Missed profits. Burnout. Lost opportunities. Adi makes a compelling case that processes are profit levers—and that the business owner's role is to step back, build systems, and lead with clarity. As EOS, Traction, and Scaling Up all emphasize: documented, followed-by-all processes are a non-negotiable for sustainable growth.  If you're ready to turn chaos into cash flow, this episode will show you how.    Links:   Website: https://bizsuccesscg.com  Podcast: https://bizsuccesscg.com/podcast/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adiklevit/  Link to schedule free process mapping session: https://calendly.com/meetwithadi/free-process-mapping-session    Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

Framework Fatigue Is RealMarty Cagan nailed it recently: “The product model addresses three major dimensions: how you decide which problems to solve (product strategy), how you solve these problems (product discovery), and how you build, test, and deploy your solutions (product delivery). Real Agile can certainly help with this third dimension.” (Source.)Translation: Organizations are done with copying and pasting frameworks. They realize that true agility means finding your own path to creating value. Standardized training and certification programs? That train has left the station. #ParadigmShift2. AI Is Eating Agile (Sort Of)Have you played with DeepSeek R1 yet? This isn't just another tech trend. This is a seismic shift in how knowledge work happens. No, ChatGPT or Claude won't steal your job tomorrow. But what about your colleague who's mastered prompt engineering, AI-based data analysis, and agents? They might make you obsolete.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

This Episode - Turning an Unlikely Business into a Multi-Million Dollar Success Meet Will Milliken, president of a fast-growing dog waste removal company and founder of the President of Swoop Scoop® and founder of Poop Scoop Millionaire™. What started as a small side hustle has become a booming business with multiple locations and a thriving online community for aspiring entrepreneurs. Will shares how he transitioned from digital marketing to home services, why the pet waste removal industry took off, and the key strategies that helped him scale. With a focus on exceptional service and customer care, Swoop Scoop® has grown into a leading company serving thousands of satisfied clients. We also cover the marketing strategies that work (and don't), building a standout brand, and the importance of fast customer response times. Plus, Will shares the surprising lessons he learned from a failed partnership with Pizza Hut and how he's preparing for national expansion. Key Takeaways: Standardized, flat-rate pricing works best: customers prefer knowing costs upfront. Fast response time is critical: answering inquiries quickly sets businesses apart in home services. Professional branding (uniforms, truck wraps, CRM systems) increases trust and allows for premium pricing. Scaling starts with predictable lead generation. The biggest bottleneck is acquiring customers consistently. Marketing experiments matter. Facebook ads, Google SEO, and wrapped trucks work best, while some partnerships (like pizza box ads) miss the mark. Standardized operations make scaling easier. A clear system for hiring, training, and customer acquisition makes franchising a real possibility. Track Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) vs. Customer Lifetime Value (LTV): understanding these numbers earlier could have cut growth time in half. Anticipate bottlenecks as you scale: hiring, vehicle acquisition, and equipment logistics become challenges as the business grows. If you don't know how to acquire customers, your business will struggle. If you're not willing to start a poop scooping business, you're probably not going to start any business. Will's journey proves that even the most unexpected businesses can be wildly profitable with the right systems and mindset. Ready to think outside the box (or the yard)? This episode will change the way you look at service businesses.

Some kids can't sit still in class. Others stare out the window, lost in their thoughts. Then there are kids like Rebecca Barrera, who ask a million questions, try their hardest, and still get told they're not learning fast enough. When Rebecca was five, a teacher dismissed her as an academic lost cause—her mother refused to accept that.Rebecca was diagnosed with ADHD early, but school was still an uphill battle. Standardized tests, rigid expectations, and a system that didn't understand how her brain worked made things harder. But with a mother who fought for her, Rebecca figured out how to work with her brain instead of against it. She went on to earn a nursing degree and build a career that keeps her engaged, moving, and connecting with people in a way that makes sense for her.In this conversation, Rebecca shares what it was like growing up with ADHD, how early medication rewired her approach to learning, and why she still has to be intentional about managing her symptoms at work. She also talks about the fast-paced nature of nursing, the emotional weight of the job, and the daily strategies that help her focus.

On Skeptical Sunday, Jessica Wynn schools us in higher education's flaws — privilege, rankings, debt, and inequity — and examines ways to fix them. On This Week's Skeptical Sunday: Higher education in the United States has a long history of privilege and exclusivity, with prestigious institutions reinforcing social and economic disparities. College rankings, such as those by US News & World Report, have a significant influence on the perception of educational quality but often fail to measure the actual academic experience. The cost of higher education has increased dramatically, outpacing inflation and creating substantial student loan debt, which raises questions about the return on investment (ROI) for many students. Standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, as well as admissions processes, tend to favor wealthier students, perpetuating inequalities in access to higher education. There is potential for positive change in higher education through innovative models, technology integration, and alternative credentialing systems. By embracing new approaches to learning and assessment, we can work toward a more accessible, diverse, and effective educational system that better serves students and employers in the 21st century.
