Battalion Chief Chad Durrance has spent more than 30 years in the fire service, In this episode, “Lessons I Learned at the Firehouse,” we unpack what leadership really costs—because stepping into authority means surrendering certain rights.

Great dentistry doesn't sell itself if patients can't see it. Many dentists struggle to explain conditions, earn trust, and grow into the type of practice they want because their communication relies too heavily on words. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt sits down with Dr. Zach Sisler, cosmetic dentist and educator, to break down the three lessons he learned the hard way about dental photography. You'll learn how photography improves case acceptance, strengthens branding, sharpens clinical skills, and creates better communication with patients, labs, specialists, and your team. If you want photography to work for your practice instead of sitting unused, listen to Episode 1001 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Dental photography helps clinicians get out of their own way by letting patients see conditions instead of hearing long explanations.What dentists find impressive in photos is often different from what patients want to see, which is typically full-face smiles and relatable transformations.Consistent photography strengthens a practice's brand and helps patients recognize what services are possible.Treating camera equipment as an investment requires daily use; unused equipment produces no return.Reviewing clinical photos allows dentists to self-critique and continuously improve their restorative outcomes.Photography improves communication with labs and specialists by providing clearer information and better collaboration.Snippets:02:20 Who Dr. Zach Sisler is and how his practice evolved.05:00 Why dental photography is a non-negotiable for modern practices.07:47 How photography helped Zach get out of his own way with patient communication.12:05 The difference between what dentists want to see and what patients want to see.18:14 Why branding matters and how photography supports it.19:16 Treating camera equipment like gym equipment to get a return on investment.23:26 How photography improves clinical self-critique and growth.29:23 How photos improve lab and specialist relationships.34:23 Addressing time concerns and when to invest in photography.36:29 How much of the photography should be delegated to the team.Dr. Zach Sisler Bio:Dr. Zach Sisler is a cosmetic dentist and educator practicing in rural central Pennsylvania. He transitioned a traditionally focused practice into an aesthetics-driven practice by integrating comprehensive dental photography, advanced restorative techniques, and consistent branding. Dr. Sisler teaches hands-on photography and over-the-shoulder restorative courses, both in his office and on-site for dental teams across the...

Welcome to 2026, babes!! In this solo episode of Literally Not Okay, your girl Alexis Waters is coming in HOT with a full holiday breakdown, a gay hockey porn obsession (shoutout Heated Rivalry), and why family time should absolutely come with a four-day max limit.Plus, I spill how standup comedy gave me confidence, why you NEED community, and the iconic moment a stoned comedian changed my life by asking, “Are you doing it with your full pussy out?” Life-changing advice.This one's for my ADHD girlies, my overstimulated queens, and anyone who needs a reminder that it's okay to not be okay — especially around your in-laws.

I had so many great experiences and learned so much in 2025! I can't wait to share some lessons I learned while recapping some of my favorite experiences from the past 12 months.

After years of working with clients who felt stuck — creatively, financially, and emotionally — I started noticing patterns that had nothing to do with strategy, consistency, or effort.In this episode, I'm sharing the three realizations that quietly changed how my clients show up, make decisions, and build businesses that actually move.We talk about:Why “doing more” often keeps people in the same placeThe hidden patterns that make clients feel stuck even when they're talented and capableWhat shifted when we stopped fixing behavior and started looking underneath itHow small internal changes created massive external movementThese aren't hacks or frameworks.They're the subtle shifts that change how a business feels to run — and why things finally start working.If you've ever thought, “I know what to do… so why am I not doing it?”This episode will make that make sense.My FREE Nervous System Regulation Exercises: https://stan.store/FallonkmoranMy Notion Business Strategy Template HERESign Up for a Social Media Expression Audit HEREBreakthrough Day 2026

This one has a lot of gems! Get your pens ready lol!

This episode is personal, because it has to be. But what I really learned in 2025 isn't just about me. It's about what happens to people when the world changes faster than our values, our nervous systems, and our expectations can keep up. These eight things are my experience in 2025 but they're also reflections of the moment we're all living in.

Them either change behavior or change values to prevent inauthenticity)The solution to every problem is for me to work on me (growth begins with us and “I'm the leader, it's on me.”)“This job will mess with you…”You can change culture in 30-second momentsSLOW DownSponsor Spot 2:I want to thank IXL for sponsoring this podcast…Everyone talks about the power of data-driven instruction.

Today's episode is a look back at the lessons that shaped me this year. 2025 stretched me, softened me, and taught me so much about motherhood, faith, strength, and what it means to care for my body in a season that looked nothing like the old rhythm I was used to. If this year felt messy, refining, or slower than you expected, this conversation will remind you that every season has purpose and every step counts. Whether you're rebuilding routines, learning to trust your body again, navigating motherhood, or stepping into a new chapter, these 25 lessons are shared to encourage you, ground you, and help you see how much growth is happening beneath the surface. Here's what you will learn: • Why quiet seasons can be the most transformative • How slowing down strengthens your body and mind • The power of fueling your body with intention • How faith, rest, and boundaries support your growth • Why small steps and evolving goals still move you forward • Ways to honor your body in every season • What truly sustains consistency when motivation fades This episode is your reminder that you're not behind and nothing about your journey needs to look perfect to be meaningful. You are growing in more ways than you realize, and it deserves to be celebrated.

On this final Take Flight Weekly episode of 2025, Episode 306, I break down the ten characteristics that consistently show up in the top 10% of ELPs (Elite Level Producers). Success leaves clues. The gap between the 97% and the 3% is real. The gap inside the 3% is even more fascinating. These are the attributes I've seen across different markets, ages, backgrounds, and personality types. In Episode 305, I discussed the Top 10 Things I Learned in 2025. During that time, I was asked: "Jim, tell me what separates that top, top group of advisors from everyone else." So I kept writing. I connected dots from coaching calls, team meetings, and private conversations. What showed up was honest and consistent. The super achievers are not lucky. They're operating from high-performance characteristics that compound naturally. The 10 Characteristics of Super Achievers → 1. Something Drives Them They often cannot pinpoint the origin of their drive. It's not always money. It's deeper. They operate with unconscious competence—the highest stage of mastery. Their execution feels effortless but is built on years of repetition. → 2. They Are Borderline Obsessed with Winning They've learned the fine line between healthy and destructive obsession. They possess a gear most don't have. → 3. They Built a Powerful Network Ninety percent or more of their business is driven by referrals and repeat business inside their Top 100. → 4. They Care Deeply But Struggle with Boundaries Their empathy is a strength but becomes a liability without structure. Finding that boundary line is one of the final steps. → 5. They Are Risk Takers Who Invest in Themselves Not every investment pays off but they fail forward. They keep placing bets. → 6. They Are High D, High I, or Both on DISC They naturally default to action, influence, and competitive drive. They hire the S's and C's to manage details. → 7. They Know Their Strengths and Own Their Weaknesses They hire to their blind spots. They delegate without guilt. → 8. Their Growth Outpaced Their Structure Success arrived before they had systems to support it. They built structure while flying at full speed. → 9. They Often Peak Later in Life When you hit the 7th inning of your career, urgency kicks in. → 10. The Bigger Their Brand, the More They Qualify Leads High brand equity attracts unqualified opportunities. They learn to separate true opportunities from consumers who misunderstand pricing realities. → Bonus: The Basics Work Every Time As their business grew, they realized the basics just take more thought, design, and support. What's Next This is my final episode of 2025. I'll be back January 5th with an Introduction to Take Flight. Take the remainder of this year and think about your VISION, your goals, and if 2026 is the year you go from the 97% to an ELP or from an ELP to a Super Achiever. In 2026, you'll get my evolved thoughts on building a scalable, enjoyable, and profitable business. Take Flight is "The How." It's the operating system for your goals. Thank you. I'm grateful for you and I'll be back in 2026. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

In case you missed the announcement on Instagram, I made a huge decision recently about closing a chapter of my life that has meant so much to me. Today's episode is all about what I've learned over the last two years in building a brand and a business, and what this looks like moving forward.

They say that our years bring wisdom, the things that we carry in this journey of life. Marissa and I share the 26 lessons that have stuck with us as we recount our experiences, from the silly to the serious. This is a special edition episode; Happy 27th Birthday Marissa!

Thank you for listening.

After interviewing so many amazing founders, creators and CEO's in Season 2 - I learned 5 things that were common amongst all my guests. If we can take even just 1 lesson and apply it to our lives, careers or business, then we are one step ahead to our goals and dreams. I hope you enjoyed this season and I am looking forward to coming back with more amazing guests next time. Stay tuned. As always, thank you for your love and support on this new endeavor - without you, this would not be alive.

Today it’s just me, sharing a few revelations I’ve had this summer around: The set ages we seemingly get stuck at. Emotions I’m connecting to for the first time in my life (and how certain codes of anger have helped me). How busyness impacts our physical patterns and the way we hold our bodies, or clench our weight. And practicing rejection and building our capacity to hear no, while simultaneously building our capacity to say no. (In this month’s solo episode, I also get into some life-altering experiences I’ve had with different healers, and the new list I compiled of my favorite healers.) For the show notes, links to all the resources I mention in the episode, and my new workbook Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness—head over to my Substack.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After six weeks of serious inner work (including a spiritual cleanse and a solo wilderness retreat where I literally faced my fear of abandonment head-on), I'm sharing the three biggest things that helped me stop overthinking once and for all. If you're the kind of girly who spirals over a short text... rereads convos wondering what you did wrong... or catastrophizes when nothing is actually wrong... this episode is going to hit deep. Inside, we'll talk about: ✨ What it really means to listen to your body (and why it matters for your anxious brain) ✨ How productivity pressure secretly fuels relationship anxiety ✨ The difference between your gut and your fear brain ✨ And how I finally felt safe doing... nothing. Just being. Truly. PLUS: tomorrow (Wednesday!) is Implementation Day inside The Healing Girl Gang and this month's focus is on Overthinking. If you're ready for the how, this is where we get specific and walk through the process together.

What if the hardest thing you're walking through right now is actually where God is working the most - even when you can't see it? A few months ago everything was normal in our family. Linda's mom cooked a full Thanksgiving dinner, we all gathered around the table, and life felt predictable. But two weeks later everything changed forever when she got diagnosed with a tumor and went to heaven just four months after that. And here's what I discovered - while you're focused on what's not happening, you're missing what God is actually doing in the situation. Because I used to think grief was just sadness, but it's actually more like a circle that never shrinks - your life just grows bigger around it. So today I'm sharing five specific lessons that completely changed how I see God, community, prayer, and relationships. Because if you're walking through loss, struggling with finances, dealing with marriage issues, or facing any kind of difficulty, these insights could transform how you experience God's presence in the middle of it all. This is one of the most personal, emotional episodes we've ever recorded. And if you're grieving, or have someone in your life who is, I hope this encourages you like only God can.    Resources Mentioned: Psalm 91 (read it and pray it daily): https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+91 Levi Lusko on grief and gratitude: https://youtu.be/tMrM3xcg5MM Get our book for free (just cover shipping): http://seedtime.com/free Linda Lotich on TikTok (because yeah, she's amazing): https://www.tiktok.com/@linda.lotich
