I nyhedspodcasten Dronen kan du også høre mere om en (u)-overraskende ny mejetærsker, opsigtsvækkende CO2-beslutning i New Zealand – og det som kan lede os frem med en ny verdensrekord i korn per hektar.

Lige nu er der skovbrande i Grækenland og skypumper, regnvejr og hagl på størrelse med golfbolde i Italien. En af faktorerne i det voldsomme vejr er varmen. Og vejret påvirker også en masse danskere, der elsker at rejse til udlandet i sommermånederne. Men kommer du til at droppe rejser sydpå i fremtiden på grund af uvejr og brande, der hærger lige nu? Det debatterer vi i dagens program, hvor vi også diskuterer, om vi skal have flere store sportsbegivenheder til Danmark, og om børn bliver for sent renlige i dag? Medvirkende: René Gabelgaard Lund (Har været på ferie på den samme campingplads i 36 år) Mikkel Hansen (Kommunikationschef hos TUI) Birgitte Meldgaard Larsen (Børnepsykolog) Christian Gjersing Nielsen (Seniorkonsulent hos Idrættens Analyseinstitut) Lars Lundlov (Direktør i Sport Event Denmark) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Priserne på el, varme og fødevarer tordner i vejret – så Radio Victorias Søren Kaster ville afprøve om det i virkeligheden er billigere at rejse sydpå i vinterperioden, end at blive herhjemme i sne og sjap.

Sanger og sangskriver Basim har flere gange sunget og charmeret sig direkte ind i alle danskeres hjerter; om det har været på scenen i diverse tvprogrammer, eller som sangskriver på store hits for andre, som Sydpå eller Hvor Er Du Bro?I programmet fortæller han om at have mistet begge sine forældre og hvordan han har håndteret den medfølgende sorg, om hvordan en skelsættende oplevelse i barndommen, banede vejen for hans success i Melodi Gran Prix, samt om den første gang han fik knust sit hjerte.

Over en mio. danskere kører på bilferie, og tusindvis af dem skal i år afsted i en elbil. I denne uges Bilradio zoomer værten, Christian Schacht, ind på fænomenet og giver gode råd sammen med Jan Lang, som er markedsanalytiker hos Bilbasen.De to eksperter vender også bilnyheder og svarer på lytterspørgsmål.

Over én million danskere kører på ferie i egen bil. Hovedparten kører gennem Tyskland, hvor vejnettet bliver fyldt til ud over bristepunktet med biler. Bilradio har haft fat i en ekspert, der melder tilbage om de værst ramte strækninger.Der er bla. vejarbejde på omkring 1.000 strækninger på det tyske motorvejsnet denne sommer. Det medfører tæt trafik, kø og forlængede rejsetider for danskere, der har valgt at tage på kør-selv-ferie.Bilradio har heldigvis også mere positive nyheder, og værten, Christian Schacht, vender bla. en bedring i leveringstiden på biler fra VW, og selvfølgelig er der også tid til lytterspørgsmål. Det hele er sammen med Jan Lang, der er markedsanalytiker hos Bilbasen.Tidskoder:01:01: Ugens nyheder49:05: Lytterspørgsmål 

En der er ekspert i at lave hits er: Bro – ”Hvor Er Du Bro”, ”Sydpå”, ”Glad” og mange flere, men nu har han gjort det igen!Han er tilbage med ny single ”Når Mørket Falder På” Fredag var han med via Zoom hos Emil i ABC Middag.

Mens de fleste andre bilfabrikker lægger de praktiske MPV-modeller i graven, satser BMW fortsat på biltypen og lancerer en helt ny 2-serie Active Tourer. Samtidig har mærket opgraderet voldsomt på sin plug-in hybridteknik, så den nye familiebil får et stort batteri og dermed næsten rekordlang rækkevidde på strøm og langt bedre lademuligheder end tidligere.Bilradios vært, Christian Schacht, vender nyheden sammen med markedsanalytiker Jan Lang fra Bilbasen, og de to eksperter diskuterer også bilsalget herhjemme, en helt ny Toyota Aygo og varmer op til næste uges afsløring af årets bedste brugte bil.Ugens store tema er dog bilferie i egen elbil.For mange virker en tur sydpå i en elbil som en skrækindjagende oplevelse, men i praksis er der ikke noget at frygte. Det mener testkører Karsten Lemche, som Bilradio har besøg af i denne uge. Han fortæller om sin egen tur til Kroatien i en VW ID.4 og giver gode råd om elbiler og bilferie.Til sidst i podcasten kan du bla. høre om en lytter, der er godt og grundigt træt af sin Toyota.Tidskoder:00:20: Hvad venter dig i ugens episode?01:36: Ugens nyheder14:36: Interview med Karsten Lemche fra FDM om bilferie i egen elbil51:43: Lytterspørgsmål

I know that for some, the last thing you might want to do is listen to a dental podcast, but if you're looking for a quick break from the chaos of the last few months, I think you'll really enjoy today's episode.

The biggest mistakes with membership plans and how to avoid them.  Why membership plans aren't just good for you... but why your patients will love them as well.

Hey Ambitious Dentists, Jonathan here. Apologies for it being so quiet on the podcasting front, as my team and I were heads down rebranding DentistMetrics into what is now Tooth and Coin.  It was a ton of hard work, and I couldn’t be more happy with how things have turned out. Thanks to my amazing team and all the support from the SYDP community.  Today I’m incredibly excited to get back into the swing of things by welcoming back a previous SYDP guest Alex Nottingham CEO and founder of All Star Dental Academy to the show.  A while back he shared a ton of value on episode 93 of SYDP and I wanted to bring him back on to share his latest insights on what’s working in dentistry.  Here are a few things you’ll learn in today’s episode: How Alex helped take his father’s dental practice from the verge of bankruptcy to becoming a thriving practice.  The most effective way to increase your case acceptance rate without using hype or pressure.  Why you don’t need to work crazy hours to build a successful practice.  Some of the biggest myths dentists believe that are holding them back from dental practice growth.  How Alex got into dentistry, and the main business lessons he’s learned about the industry.   Why having a team first approach can make all the difference in your dental practice success.  And much more.

Vinteren nærmer sig, og mod syd hænger en rød stjerne lavt på himlen. Frodo kan se den fra sit vindue i Kløvedal. Den putter sig dybt inde i skydækket, glødende som et vagtsom øje. Tiden er inde. Man må håbe han har venner, der kan hjælpe ham på hans færd. Frederik Axel og Niels Olav læser Kapitel 3 & 4 af II. Bog

Hey Ambitious Dentists!   Happy New Year! I hope you a wonderful 2018 and even better 2019!   First off, I want to say thank you to all of you who reached out about our latest SYDP podcast episode with Kiera Dent. I always enjoy hearing about the key takeaways our listeners gain from the show.   After the  minor SYDP hiatus in 2018, it’s great to be back behind the mic and getting to share my conversations with our incredible guests.   One of the best parts about running the SYDP podcast is that we’ve been fortunate enough to have some truly high performing dentists and dental practice owners on podcast, and the lessons they share can often help to take your dental practice to the next level.   Today I’m excited to share my conversation with Dr. Hunter Smith, a fellow Arkansas native, and former guest on the show.  Dr. Hunter is a legend on Dental Town and in other dental circles and has seen some incredible success buying multiple dental practices right out of school.   Given we last spoke with him a year or two ago, I invited him back on the show to share what he’s been up to since our last conversation where he shares what he's learned since we last spoke.

Hey Ambitious dentists! I hope you had a wonderful holiday! Can you believe there's only a week left of 2018? We have a really great SYDP episode for you today, with our previous star guest Kiera Dent rejoining the show sharing how to optimize your dental practice. But first, to address the elephant in the room. You may have noticed it's been relatively quiet on the podcast front this year. I've received dozens of emails asking about the pause of the show, and I couldn't be more grateful for the continued support. As you know, I always try to tell things how they are (the good and bad) of running a podcast, and the truth is, I felt the quality of our latest episodes didn't bring as much value as I knew they could. Nothing against our amazing guests of course, but I decided to take some time with my team to reflect on how we can continue delivering incredible value to you, our SYDP listeners. The podcast isn't going away anytime soon, but we have decided to experiment with a quality not quality approach. We'll be sharing a new episode if and only if we know it's an absolutely fantastic use of your time. On occasion, we'll revert to our once a week schedule, but throughout 2019 we might only publish an episode or so a month. Ultimately, I know how valuable your time is and want to ensure every episode is both actionable and insightful first and foremost. With that said, we have a handful of amazing interviews coming up over the next few weeks that I know you'll love. Here are a few things you'll discover in today's episode The most common reasons dental practices hit a plateau in growth and how you can overcome them. The three things that make or break a front office phone call. Why you should rethink the KPI's, you're focusing on to start the new year. The latest research on how we communicate both in person and on the phone. Why having confidence in your patient diagnosis can transform your practice virtually overnight.. And much more. I really hope you enjoy my latest interview with Kiera Dent. And I’m excited to be sharing more interviews with the SYDP in the New Year!

Aftenklubben og Daniel Cesar fik besøg af en fyr, som må siges at have sommervarmen i blodet. Han står bag nemlig bag et af sommerens store hits - Sydpå'. Der er selvfølgelig tale om BRO, som kiggede ind i studiet til en snak om sin nye single og om at skulle vælge mellem fodbolden og musikken.

I dagens podcast er der en snas fra interviewet Ida-Sophia og Nicolas har lavet med Shawn Mendes. I one of those days har Shell fået kritik for deres pølser. Louise tror at der er en dybere mening i bro's "Sydpå." Til sidst fortæller Siri den hårde sandhed om flyture.

Hello, ambitious dentists, Whether you’re just starting your dental practice career, or have been growing your practice for a while, you probably have experienced the many ups and downs that come with being a practice owner.

As we’ve said many times here on SYDP, there are some things dental school just doesn’t teach you… which is why I’m excited to have today’s guest Dr. Shakila Angadi on the show. Right out of dental school, Dr. Shakila quickly realized that things don’t always go according to plan and today she shares what she has learned. If you have some spare time while you’re preparing meals or out and about shopping, give the interview a listen.

Can we get an encore? Today I am very excited to have dental consultant Kiera Dent back on the SYDP podcast for episode 101. You may remember when we had Kiera on the show for episode 92 where she shared how to choose the right dental consultant for your practice. And since we last talked a few months ago, it’s safe to say she’s done more than most people do in years.  She’s currently involved in a handful of really cool projects, as well as continuing to run her own business, dental placement pros. So I asked her to come back on the show and share what’s new in her world, important metrics to track, and how to genuinely inspire your team.   Here are a few things you'll learn!  Now here’s my interview with Kiera Dent. And have a wonderful Thanksgiving! How Kiera is able to do so much professionally, without spreading herself too thin or burning out. The one metric that has the strongest correlation with dental practice success. Why same day treatment is so powerful for patient satisfaction and improving your bottom line. The exact metrics you should have your front desk staff track… And the many lessons Kiera has learned from working in multiple office roles and how it has helped her get where she is today. Kiera really brings the knowledge to this interview. It’s one you definitely don’t want to miss.

Ambitious dentists, Today I am very excited to share with you episode 100 of the Start Your Dental Practice podcast. What an incredible journey it has been. When I started the SYDP podcast just a few years ago, I had no idea what to expect, and I couldn’t be more happy with the community we have built. I’m incredibly grateful for the support of the DentistMetrics team, my friends and family, the amazing guests, and all those who have tuned into SYDP. I’ve learned a lot over the last few years since launching SYDP, and for episode 100 I wanted to share my 7 biggest takeaways. Whether you’ve considered launching a podcast yourself, or are just looking to grow your dental practice, I hope these 7 lessons point you in the right direction and help you build the dental practice and business of your dreams. To celebrate episode 100, I've also put together the 7 Lessons I've Learned from 100+ Hours of Interviewing the World's Best Dental Practice Owners And Consultants Guide. The guide breaks down everything I've learned as well as highlights all past guest episodes for easy consumption. If you're looking to catch up on some missed episodes, you won't want to miss the guide.

One of my favorite ways to stay “up to date” with the dental industry is to be active in a few high-value Facebook groups. And though “social media” often gets a bad rap for being a waste of time, I often find the discussions and comments highly valuable. When done correctly, Facebook groups help you stay on top of the latest trends and build meaningful connections with other dentists and professionals. Were it not for Facebook groups, I wouldn’t be introducing today’s two very special guests, Dr. Glenn Vo and Dr. Vinh Nguyen of Nifty Thrifty Dentists. When I first joined the Nifty Thrifty Dentist Facebook group a while back, I wasn’t sure what to expect. “Nifty thrifty dentists?!?!” but I quickly learned that Dr. Glenn and Dr. Vinh are the real deal and have created an amazing community in a short period of time. I’m excited to share my conversation with them and what they have learned from building such an incredible community. Here are a few things you'll discover in today's episode How Their Popular Dental Facebook Group Transformed into A Podcast and Beyond What it means to be a “nifty and thrifty” dentist.

As we gear up for some exciting new changes coming to the SYDP podcast, I wanted to share a self-hosted episode I put together discussing everything you need to know about how to acquire a dental practice. Having talked with dozens of dentists about the process, I think you'll find this solo episode a great resource if you're in the process of acquiring your first practice or needing some guidance. Even if you've already had a few acquisitions under your belt, I cover some common mistakes as well. Many dentists I've spoken with equate the acquisition process to having your first child... you won't know what it's like until it happens, but being prepared goes a long way. Here are a few things you'll discover in today's episode How To Know When You're Ready To Acquire A Practice.

As technology continues to transform the dental industry, the world of insurance and credentialing has become increasingly complex. As a result, dentists are spending more and more of their valuable time trying to figure things out. And if we’re being honest, most dentists don’t exactly get excited about dealing with insurance and properly codifying their services. Which is why I’m so excited about today’s SYDP guest Harold Gornbein, Harold is the founder of Apex Reimbursement Specialists, which helps put money back in dentists pockets and saves tons of the time in the process. With over 20 + years of dealing with insurance, Harold knows exactly what it takes to give dentists the winning edge.

One of the best parts about running the Start Your Dental Practice podcast is all the interesting opportunities that it has created for me, both personally and professionally. I get emails and phone calls from listeners all the time sharing their successes, failures, and all the big things they want to accomplish. It’s such a great feeling and an incredible honor. On occasion, some listeners will reach out in hopes of coming on the show and to pitch their latest product or service, but as you know, that would go against everything I believe here at SYDP. However, sometimes I get a request from a listener who absolutely blows me away with their story and accomplishments, and that would be today’s guest Dr. Darold Opp. Dr. Darold is a  now retired, former practice owner, who was able to see some great success over the years in the dental industry. He now spends his time helping other dentists get to where they want to go. In our chat we cover a lot of ground, mistakes he’s made, things he did well, and why creating a family-friendly practice is one of the best things you can do.

There are many things that go into building a successful dental practice. Good marketing helps get patients in the door. A high-quality team makes sure things run smoothly. And delivering great service ensures your patients leave happy. But there’s a huge factor, that many small businesses owners, especially dental practices, often neglect, that can have a huge impact on your bottom line. What’s that? Your office design. Look, the second your patients step into your office, you want to make sure you’re leaving a good impression. Which is why I’m excited to have Cheryl Janis founder of Cheryl Janis Designs on the show. Cheryl specializes in building high nurturing environments for purpose-driven physicians and healthcare businesses helping them get the most out of their office space.

As I’ve mentioned, on a few previous episodes of SYDP, I had the pleasure of speaking at and attending the Voices of Dentistry Podcast Event. It’s not often that I go to conferences that absolutely blow me away, but I can honestly say this was one of those times.

Look. Running a successful dental practice is incredibly difficult. Day in and day out, you’re juggling marketing, budgets, growing your team.. and a million other things on your always expanding todo list. I get it. And yet… at the end of the day, as a practice owner, you have to remember, you’re in the SERVICE industry. Which means, everything you do should be focused on providing the best service you possibly can. Because ultimately that’s what keeps the lights on. Which unfortunately, many dentists often forget. Today I’m excited to share my conversation with Dr. Anissa Holmes from Delivering Wow. You may remember her from episode 9 of the SYDP podcast where she shared her insight on how to get the most out of Facebook.

Maybe you can relate. Instead of mastering the basics, you jump from one marketing strategy to the next.. And not surprisingly you might not see the results you were looking for. As most SYDP listeners know, the dental industry does have a few bad apples that ruin things for everyone. Trust can be a little hard to come by. No there is no magic pill to get 1,000 new patients in your door by next week. No there is no SEO strategy that will get you on the first page of Google overnight. A good marketing strategy requires relentless testing, patience, and a little bit of good luck. Which is why I’m so excited to share my conversation with Laura Maly and Michael Anderson, founders of the the Wonderist Agency an agency that focuses exclusively on serving the dental community.

Having goals and being excited are a good thing. But as I say time and time again on the show, you have to execute. You have to do the hard work. Too often, we look for the easy fix.

A  few weeks back, my wife and I were craving sushi and decided to turn to the all knowing Google for answers. I pulled out my iPhone and typed,“ Best sushi in Little Rock Arkansas.” Within seconds, we had dozens of places to choose from. After scanning the page for a few moments, we decided to go with the 2nd listing on Google. We placed our order and the sushi turned out to be fantastic. As the sushi place can attest, that’s the power of Search Engine Optimization, or SEO. Unfortunately, most dental practices consider SEO as an afterthought, when in fact it can often be one of the most important methods of marketing for your practice. Today, I’m excited to have Mike Pederson, founder of Dental Boost back on the show. You may remember him from SYDP episode 51 where he shared the best practices for your dental website.
