Tackling another side effect of dramatic weight loss, this episode of Plastic Surgery Untold breaks down "Ozempic face." Nurse Sarah and Esthetician Nici explain why the real culprit isn't Ozempic at all, but the rapid weight loss that can leave you looking tired, hollow, and sagging, even when you feel amazing on the inside. The goal isn't to refill the face and undo your weight loss, it's to tighten the canvas first and get you looking like yourself again, just refreshed. From skin tightening to bio-stimulants and natural filler options, there's a whole toolbox to restore that youthful bounce. In this episode, we cover: Why "Ozempic face" is really just about weight loss, not the medication Why the goal is to tighten the canvas before adding any volume How Sofwave and Avava lift, tighten, and resurface for a refreshed look The "structural sandwich": combining skin tightening with a bio-stimulant like Sculptra Why you shouldn't wait until the end of your weight loss journey to start How to maintain results over time with smaller treatments like microneedling and peels The big takeaway: don't wait until you've lost all the weight to start caring for your skin. Starting sooner makes the whole process gentler, and the goal is always to have you look just like you, refreshed and confident, not wider or "filled." Tighten first, add volume only if you want it, and maintain along the way.

DON'T DROP YOUR BELT-GIRD YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH. 1. The Old Testament Command to Gird The physical act of girding the loins was a command for readiness. It meant pulling up the long robes, tucking them into a belt, and preparing for work, travel, or battle. Exodus 12:11  — The Passover command: "And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded..." This was a posture of readiness for deliverance. They were dressed to leave Egypt at a moment's notice. Exo 12:11  And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD'S passover.  1 Kings 18:46  — "And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab..." After the fire fell on Mount Carmel, Elijah had to run. He prepared himself for supernatural action. 1Ki 18:46  And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel. Job 38:3; 40:7  — God commands Job: "Gird up thy loins now like a man." God is telling Job to prepare himself to receive the truth of who God really is. Job 38:3  Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.  Job 40:7  Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. Jeremiah 1:17 — God tells Jeremiah: "Gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee." This is a command to prepare for the ministry of proclaiming God's truth. Jer 1:17  Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.  2. The New Testament Call to Truth The New Testament shifts the metaphor from physical preparation to spiritual readiness, anchored in truth. Ephesians 6:14a  — "Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth..." Eph 6:14  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;  John 17:17  — Jesus prays, "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." This defines what the "truth" is that we gird ourselves with: the Word of God. Joh 17:17  Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.  John 8:32 — "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Truth is not just a defense; it is a liberator. Joh 8:32  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.  John 14:6  — Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." Ultimately, the belt is not just a set of facts; it is a Person. Joh 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  2 Timothy 2:15 — "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." This is the act of "girding" in the study room. 2Ti 2:15  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.  1 Peter 1:13  — "Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind..." Peter uses this exact language to describe mental and spiritual readiness based on the hope of the Gospel. 1Pe 1:13  Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;  3. The Enemy's Counterfeit: Lies If the belt is truth, the enemy's strategy is to unbuckle it with lies. Genesis 3:1  — "Yea, hath God said...?" The first attack in Scripture was an assault on God's truth. Gen 3:1  Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?  John 8:44  — Jesus says of the devil: "...he is a liar, and the father of it." Joh 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.  2 Corinthians 11:3 — "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ." 2Co 11:3  But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.  SERMON OUTLINE: "Don't Drop Your Belt" Big Idea:  The belt of truth is the foundation of our spiritual armor. Without it, everything else falls apart. We must actively gird ourselves with God's truth to stand against the enemy's lies. I. The Belt Holds Everything Together (The Function) Ephesians 6:14a A Roman soldier without a belt had no place for his sword. His breastplate would shift. His tunic would trip him. Application:  If you do not know the truth of God's Word, you cannot wield the Sword of the Spirit. You will trip over your own feelings and opinions. Cross-Ref:  2 Timothy 2:15  — You have to study to prepare the belt. 2Ti 2:15  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.  II. The Belt Requires Active Preparation (The Action) Old Testament Context:  Girding was not automatic. You had to stop, pull up your robes, and tighten the belt. Cross-Ref:  Job 38:3  — God told Job to gird his loins like a man before God spoke to him. Job 38:3  Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Cross-Ref:  Jeremiah 1:17  — God told Jeremiah to gird his loins before he spoke the truth. Jer 1:17  Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.  Cross-Ref:  1 Peter 1:13  — Peter tells us to gird up the loins of our  minds. 1Pe 1:13  Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;  Application:  You don't wake up girded. You gird yourself through prayer, reading, and intentional focus on God's reality before you step out the door. III. The Belt is the Enemy's First Target (The Attack) The Strategy:  If the enemy can get you to doubt the truth, the rest of your armor is compromised. Cross-Ref:  Genesis 3:1  — "Yea, hath God said?" The enemy didn't attack Eve's breastplate of righteousness first; he attacked her understanding of what God actually said. Gen 3:1  Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? Cross-Ref:  John 8:44  — The devil is the father of lies. His native tongue is falsehood. Joh 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.  Application:  The world is constantly whispering, "Did God really say that about marriage? About sin? About eternity?" If you drop the belt, you are already on the ground. IV. The Belt is a Person, Not Just a Concept (The Source) Cross-Ref:  John 14:6  — "I am the way, the truth, and the life." Joh 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  Cross-Ref:  John 17:17  — "Thy word is truth." Joh 17:7  Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.  Application:  Girding yourself with truth means being anchored in Christ and His Word. It is relational. You cannot gird yourself with truth if you are distant from the One who  is  Truth. Conclusion / Altar Thought:  Are you dressed for battle today? Or did you walk out of the house with your belt unbuckled? The enemy is looking for an exposed midsection. Gird up. Tighten the belt of truth. Know what God said. Know who God is. Stand.

Episode 3460: Dr. Neil explains why loose skin often occurs after significant weight loss, breaking down the roles of collagen, elastin, aging, and the speed of weight loss. He also explores why supplements, creams, and exercise usually don't provide meaningful skin tightening and discusses the medical options available for addressing excess skin. Quotes to ponder: "Collagen and elastin are just a couple of the proteins found in the skin and they help keep it elastic."

He also explores why supplements, creams, and exercise usually don't provide meaningful skin tightening and discusses the medical options available for addressing excess skin. Quotes to ponder: "Collagen and elastin are just a couple of the proteins found in the skin and they help keep it elastic."

#358: Production is on fire. You need access to one table you have never touched. So you file an access request, then phone the desk to say you filed it, then Slack them to say you phoned, then walk over to say you Slacked. Twenty-five minutes later the incident has resolved itself and the customer has already left. That is the setup, and Ofir Stein has lived the other side of it. He is the CTO and co-founder of Apono, and before that he was an engineering leader who felt the same pain every day - not because he hated security, but because he hated being blocked. There is a difference, and the whole conversation turns on it. Put productivity on one side, security risk on the other, and access management in the middle. Tighten one and you starve the other. Nobody wants to be slower and nobody wants to be breached, so the honest answer is there is no clean answer. Then AI agents show up and break the last assumption standing. Software used to be deterministic - your computer could not decide to do something other than what it was told. LLMs can. They can be socially engineered the way people are. Ofir's team built a full AWS environment run by AI agents, opened a Discord channel, and invited anyone to try to trick them. People could. That is the new attack surface, and it moves at machine speed - far too fast for the access reviews and approval chains built for humans. The guardrails everyone is now scrambling to build for agents should have been there for humans all along. Access is the one thing in your stack that never went dynamic. Servers scale up and down, pipelines rebuild everything, and then access is a static policy someone set two weeks ago when security sat with your manager and guessed what you would need. That is the opposite of how the rest of DevOps works. Ofir's argument is that access should change with context - who you are, whether you are on call, whether there is an open incident - evaluated in real time. For a human that is a faster request. For an AI agent, the decision has to live inside the loop, made by silicon, because no person can approve thousands of operations a minute. If access is per-operation and every operation is already a specific API call, what is left to scope? If the business context changes by the minute, how do you write guardrails in advance? And once the human is out of the loop, are you not just left with one AI deciding what another AI is allowed to do? Ofir does not pretend that part is solved. What he is sure of is the direction: the doors at the mall open when you walk up and close when you leave, and you never think about them. That is where access is headed - and there is a lot of road between here and there.   Ofir's contact information: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ofir-stein/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

In this short podcast episode, Bryan talks about multi-position service valves and more valve types. Many typical residential systems have brass service valves with a hex cap and Schrader ports; access happens solely through the Schrader ports (where the cores are). Schraders are restrictive and prone to leaking, and they don't have the ability to back-seat or front-seat. In applications where we need that capability, we use multi-position service valves instead. (Note: CoreMax valves have much higher flow rates, but you can't remove the cores except with a highly specialized tool.) Multi-position service valves are common in commercial refrigeration and allow for unrestricted, full-port flow. They do not have spring-loaded cores in the service port. If you treat these valves like Schrader valves, refrigerant WILL come out if it's not back-seated. You adjust the position by turning the stem with a refrigeration service wrench; loosen the packing nut before attempting to turn the stem, as tightening it down will crush the compressible packing material around the rotating stem. Tighten it back down after making your adjustment. These valves also require lots of heat to braze, so we must cover heat-sensitive surfaces with wet rags or heat-blocking putty (like WetRag by Refrigeration Technologies). The valve must be mid-seated while brazing, not fully front-seated or back-seated, as the surfaces are more likely to warp otherwise. Mid-seating the valve also provides a high-volume path directly to the system. Back-seating the valve is the everyday running position (stem must be rotated fully counterclockwise) and blocks access to the service port. Cracking off the back seat requires you to rotate the stem slightly clockwise with service hoses securely attached, just enough to allow you to get a reading through a tiny gap. Front-seating the valve is good for isolation with the compressor off but may cause compressor failure or serious injuries if you run the compressor. Front-seating requires you to rotate the stem fully clockwise; it completely blocks the flow of refrigerant through the system, and the service port stays open to the upstream side of the valve body. Catastrophic compressor failure will happen if the suction or discharge valves are front-seated while running. General multi-position service valves are NOT king valves. King valves are multi-position service valves specifically located at the outlet of the liquid receiver. These valves front-seat to help you pump down the system when you need to do repairs on the low side; it blocks liquid refrigerant from leaving the tank. A queen valve may be located at the inlet of the receiver on the drop leg from the condenser; front-seating it with the king valve will fully isolate the receiver.   Multi-position service valve tech tip: https://www.hvacrschool.com/compressor-multi-position-service-valves/  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

David Doyle breaks down the latest U.S. data, noting that while GDP was revised higher, weaker personal consumption tells a more mixed story. He says persistent core inflation and a strong labor market could still push the Fed toward another rate hike. Doyle adds that lower oil prices may ease headline inflation, but won't change the underlying pressure.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

On tonight's episode of 40 Days & Counting, EJ discusses the Spurs bounce back win over the Knicks in Game 3 of the NBA Finals and expectations for Game 4, the court ruling allowing Brendan Sorsby's to play at Texas Tech this season, and the likelihood of Aaron Donald returning to the Rams

You've said it out loud more than once. My team knows exactly what we're trying to build. Then a few weeks go by and you realize they don't. Not because they're lazy or checked out, but because the vision lives in your head and never quite made it into theirs. So you do what feels logical. Tighten the systems. Add accountability. Call another meeting. And still the team nods, complies, and quietly does the bare minimum. In this episode, Peter and Craig name the real problem. It isn't a discipline problem. It's a leadership gap. You've been managing your team when what they're waiting for is to be led. They break down why management and leadership are not the same thing, why influence beats authority every time, and why your team can't write themselves into a vision you've never actually shown them. They explain why accountability gets easier the moment alignment exists, and why constantly pushing your people usually means you're solving the wrong problem. You'll walk away seeing the bottleneck clearly, and knowing it's something you can fix. When your team finally sees where you're going, they stop complying and start rowing. DESCRIPTION The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode: 441 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak In this episode, Peter Boulden and Craig Spodak explore the core principles of leadership versus management and explain why influence is one of the most important skills a practice owner can develop. They discuss how clear vision creates alignment, why urgency matters, and how leaders build cultures where people are motivated by purpose rather than pressure. From communication and accountability to organizational culture and team performance, this episode offers practical frameworks for creating a business people genuinely want to be part of.

Send Jackie A Message!Every summer, studio owners brace for the same thing: attendance drops, members travel, energy shifts. So you white-knuckle through it and wait for September.Here's the problem—summer isn't your slow season. It's your setup quarter. What you do in your yoga or Pilates studio in June determines whether your fall is full of momentum or a slow climb back from a standstill.In this solo episode, Jackie Murphy breaks down the misconception costing studio owners money: that when attendance drops, revenue has to drop too. It doesn't. She explains how a premium value offer can make summer one of your highest-revenue months, the schedule analysis every owner should run before the season, and the pause policy that keeps members coming back. If you've been treating summer as something to survive, this will change how you run your studio this quarter—and set up your strongest January yet.TIMESTAMPED OUTLINE[00:00] Why we're talking about summer now[03:00] Summer is your setup quarter: June 2026 decides January 2027[05:00] The misconception: attendance drops, so revenue must too[07:00] The Premium Value Offer (PVO) and why summer is the time to sell it[09:30] Divorcing attendance from revenue in your head[11:00] Move #1: Run a schedule analysis on your real data[13:30] Knowing your break-even number for every class[16:00] Move #2: Tighten your pause policy[17:30] Pick one move and actually implement itKEY TAKEAWAYS✓ Summer is your setup quarter—June 2026 determines January 2027.✓ Attendance and revenue are not the same thing. Attendance can drop while revenue grows.✓ A premium value offer (four figures+) grows summer revenue even when class numbers dip.✓ Don't wait for attendance to drop and react—run a schedule analysis on your own data now.✓ Booking software isn't always accurate. You usually have to collect the data yourself.✓ A leaner, fuller schedule beats a robust, half-empty one—for your bottom line and your students.✓ Lock in every pause with a start, end, and restart date from day one so members come right back.✓ Pick one move and implement it. If you listen and don't take action, what's the point?QUOTES"Summer is actually your setup quarter." "What you're doing in June of 2026 determines what your January of 2027 looks like." "Attendance and revenue are not the same thing. Summer is when that distinction matters most." "Just because attendance drops doesn't mean your revenue has to." "It can be your highest month of the whole year, and attendance could be the lowest." "If you just listen to this and don't take action, what's the point, my friend?"FAQCan my studio revenue grow even if summer attendance drops? Yes. Attendance and revenue are two different numbers. With the right offer in place, summer can be one of your highest-revenue months even while attendance is at its lowest.What is a premium value offer for a yoga or Pilates studio? A PVO is something outside your normal membership, typically four figures or higher, designed to help members reach a new result—often a teacher training, but not always.Why is summer a good time to sell a high-ticket offer? Members often have more time and headspace in summer. If they're sticking with you through the season, that's when you have the capacity to extend a bigger offer.Should I change my class schedule for the summer? Be proactive, not reactive. Review your schedule at the start of summer using the last six months of data, then make strategic adjustments instead of scrambling later.How should a studio handle membership pauses over summer? Set a clear start, end, and restart date the moment a member requests a pause. Booking the restart from day one removes the "should I come back?" decision.When should I start planning my summer strategy? Now. Your schedule, offers, and pause policy heading into summer determine your fall momentum and your following January.Work with Jackie MurphySay Hi on Instagram @studioceoofficial3 Marketing Mistakes Yoga & Pilates Business Owners Make: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/evergreen-3mm-organicJoin The Studio CEO Program: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/studioceo

JoAnne Bianco argues that bond vigilantes are already doing the Fed's heavy lifting, pushing yields higher and buying policymakers time ahead of the June meeting. Rather than chasing long-dated treasuries, she makes a counterintuitive case for high-yield and short-to-intermediate duration ETFs, with emerging market sovereign credit standing out as a top performer offering both income and price appreciation.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Today's topic is something the Dental A-Team hears about a lot: Our practice is awesome, but we struggle to find new patients. Kiera talks about why this is such a common issue, and gives tips on what you can do to address it. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera and I am so freaking pumped about today's podcast and I hope you are too. Today's gonna be a fun day. It's about something that I absolutely love and hate. For those of you that have been listening to the podcast for a while, welcome. I'm Kiera Dent. I'm so happy you're here. My job and our company's motto is to possibly impact the world of dentistry in the greatest way possible. And we do that through this podcast. We put it on for free for you. Tactical practical advice for you every single week for doctors and teams because honestly trying to get   both on the same page is really tricky. being a team member myself, being a business owner myself, working with hundreds of offices across the nation, our team works with hundreds of offices, our consulting team is like truly second to none. I do believe that we have the most experienced expert team that you could ever ask for. And they truly guide doctors and teams to fulfillment, to success, and they do it with ease. And of course we pop the confetti and have a ton of fun. So today I wanted to just dive in.   And talk about like, why are great practices still struggling to attract patients? I think that this comes up on many coaching calls in lots of different areas. And it's something of like, but the practice is amazing. Why are they not getting the patients? And I think something that I pulled from some business courses I've taken is it does not matter how great your business is. It matters how well your business is marketed. And so I think for us to just look at this and say, all right, how do we market better? And what are the things? So I have found that it is   not because like you are clinically sound or you're not clinically sound. It's really about like being easy to choose and how are we able to be easy to choose as a practice versus being hard. And there's some simple things today that I wanted to go through because like you can have great dentistry, a solid team, great intentions, but if growth is feeling harder than it should, or we're not attracting these patients, let's talk about some ways to do this. And yes, there are PPO, there's fee for service, there are different things that happen for both of those. But literally what I found is   we've got to like look through what a patient's experiencing before they even come into your practice. So I feel like the growth and systems conversation is like not just about marketing conversations. A lot of times we're like, here, I want the magic bullet. I want you to like give me these items and we can just get all these new patients. And I want to too. And I'm here to say that marketing has a place. ⁓ But I also want you to realize like what are your patients choosing you for? And so looking through your reviews, you can actually throw it into AI and say like,   What are the top like five things that come from these reviews that we're receiving as to why patients are choosing us? And there was a great quote from Top Tips for Effective Clinical Communication in the British Dental Journal, yes, PMC 2023. And they said, effective communication is central to every element of clinical practice from first contact with reception to the point the patient leaves the building. And when I read that quote, I loved that quote because I feel like so often we don't think about   all these mini touch points. And I know we've talked about it before, but it's like, let's work through, like maybe we don't need more new patients. Maybe we just need a better path from attention to appointment. Yes, I love that. From attention, like grabbing their attention to them setting the appointments. And so where can we look for like common misdiagnosis within the practice? What does this look like? And so usually people are like, we need more marketing, we need more patients. And that's not wrong. I was on a coaching call with a practice and we were talking about like,   A great ratio for everybody to have is we need the patient base to be 200 patients per hygienist per day in one week. So for example, if I've got 10 columns of available hygiene in a week, I need 200 patients. Yes, I did easy math for you. What is that answer? 200 patients times 10, bingo, 2000 patients would be an active patient base. Usually seen within the last 12 to 18 months is how many we need to see. So we were looking and this practice was running 14 columns of hygiene in a week. Well, that's 2,800 patients.   They only have 1900 active patients. So what would most practices say? We need more new patients. Let's run into marketing. But like, are there other things that we can do instead of just needing marketing? Like could we maybe, are there patients already sitting within our practice that we need to have? Maybe we do need to have more new patients. Yes, the ideal is 30 new patients per month per doctor. But is that always the case? Are they maybe hiding in the crevices of your practice that we could pull forward?   So me and this office manager had a call, talked about it. looked, we went back to their recall. She was like, here, I got six patients on there. And I was like, well, that's inconvenient. So what things could we do? And so what can we really look for of what about our, are we looking at our re care and our reactivation? Are we reappointing all of these patients? Like before we even go and jump into marketing, which I'm not here to say don't market, but what about all the patients sitting in our database right now? One, can we reactivate them? The answer is yes.   Two, with all the patients coming through, are we asking every single patient, who else can we schedule for you? We absolutely love you. How else can we like, who else can we schedule? Who else do you know that we could schedule for you? So when I look at this, like where is the true diagnosis and do we actually need more? Or is it that like, no, we just need to be better with this. The practice is also asking me like, Kiera, is it the economy? Like we're not getting all these new patients we used to. And I want to say that like generally speaking dentistry is pretty economy bulletproof. Like most patients come in,   Things have it. Now, fee for service, you're gonna struggle more because patients might only like to do one cleaning versus two cleanings, but your insurance driven practices, great news for you. You've already got your patients there. And I'm not here to say that insurance is bad. I actually think insurance is one of the best marketing pieces to drive patients to your practice. And then it's a thousand dollar coupon, like a thousand dollars to get a patient. I know you're like, but Carrie, we take all the cuts and the fees. I don't disagree with you, but how much does it cost to bring on a new patient? Look at that cost.   to benefit and if I can like go beyond their max and my team is really good with that, $1,000 for an insurance max. I understand that not always that's the case, but is that worth it? I say typically yes. So when we look at this, why like, do we really need more marketing? Do we really need more patients? I want you to look for like, let's make sure our systems are tight and taut before we go after and hit the marketing because that just means we got to make sure our bucket, like the walls aren't empty.   We don't have a hole in our bucket, but we actually are filling that bucket with these patients. So that step one is I want you to look there. Me and this office manager, did we find? We found over 800 patients in their database right now. That's how many patients they need. We don't need to go after new patients. We just need to use the patients we already have in our practice because then our practice is full. Now, if we want to grow, then maybe yes, but even that look to see who is in our database version. People don't want this. It's not sexy. It's not fun. It's like, no, but I just want marketing. I want them to be dropped into my lap. I hear you.   but let's make sure that we have that. Now, if we've elected that we do need to go for marketing and we've already tightened up and we have all these pieces, we've got our re-care, we've got our reactivation, we're calling patients, we're making sure that they're reappointed, we're looking and we're running this report consistently, we're asking every single time we schedule patients, who else can I schedule for you? We are actively asking for referrals and reviews. If that's already done, and that's a big if, then we go and look into marketing. So what I want you to look at for you is like,   Do we need to have different messaging on there? How is our, like when we do market, I want you to look at like, what's my website, what's Google, what's our phone experience and is that matching the first impression of us? What about our clarity? Like, are we really crystal clear on who we're trying to market to? Do we have that dialed in? Our dentistry should speak for itself and so tightening up our first impression, tightening up like what our practice is saying to patients and making sure that patients really truly feel like   this office is so different than any other practice, that's going to make sure like that impression online needs to match our patient experience and vice versa. Our patient experience needs to match our online presence. Sometimes offices are so good, but their online presence looks like they are like dated 50 years ago. So making sure that your practice matches, because if a patient's confused, they might not be converting for you. And so let's just look to make sure does our online presence   and our phone calls match our clinical excellence in the practice and does our clinical excellence in the practice match our phone calls and our outside experience? And I hope you guys can see like those two have to be the same. When you pop on Dental A Team, like you listen to me on the podcast, when you join our team, it's freaking fun. We have fun in person masterminds. We have fun in person visits. Teams love when we come. It's got to match what you hear on the podcast. And if it doesn't, people are like, Kiera, I love your energy. And I'm like, I know I have to hire consultants to have my same level of energy. They're not exactly clones of me.   But otherwise it feels like a mismatch and you're like, wow, that person's like really low and cure is really high. You join Dental A Team because you love our energy. You love our style. You love what we present and preach on the podcast. That's why you join. Now, if you didn't experience that, that that's going to be a mismatch. Same thing with you and your practice. Is that a mismatch? Can you tighten that up? So then when it's that we go back to the leaking, we already talked about leaking. So when I look at this, we want to make sure that like we are matching online. And then I talked about our acquisition, our retention, our reactivation, our   reappointment rates. But then in addition to that, there might be more that we could diagnose on there of our experience is amazing. Everything's matching. We might need to go into marketing, but like, let's talk about some other areas where you might have new patients just coming through, through this, which can tie to your marketing. So we've decided our online matches, we're going to go for marketing. We need to get more new patients and or it's already our new patients there. Let's look at how many missed calls we have. People think all the time, like we're just so busy. We're so busy.   missing those calls can actually be impacting your practice with those new patients. Then how do we follow up with them? So if we miss calls, like some people are like, it's fine. We just have a text. Well, that person's hunting right now for a practice. What's that patient experience? And remember, it's these great practices who are failing to attract new patients. Is it because we're missing calls? Is it because we're not doing well with that new patient? Do we not make them fall in love with us when we do get them on the phone? That patient should hang up and be like,   Gosh, Jason or whomever their spouse significant other best friend. I am so freaking pumped to go to that dental practice. If they are not saying that when they hang up with your office, there is something that could be lost there. What about what happens with all these patients that are not like coming through? Do we have a process in place to make sure they get back on the books? What about are we having like a set process in our practice where we're consistently asking for reviews and referrals all the time?   And then also like, do we have this poor handoff from like when a patient calls us and says, this is what I need. And then they take them to the back office and it's not even remotely what they have. Do we have that in there? And so when we look at this, I think it's part of we've got to be tracking and auditing. How many missed calls do we have? How long does it take us to get a missed call to schedule? What about for new patient scheduling? When do we get our new patients in? What about who's overall the followup of this?   And then also, how are we asking for reviews in our practice? If those things, in addition to re-care, reappointment, reactivation, I just listed off eight things. I've got them on my fingers if you're watching the video. Eight things, if we are not doing that, don't talk to me about trying to get new patients and like, ⁓ we can't attract them. You were attracting them, we're just not handling them correctly. We're not taking care of them because this practice is not converting what you're already paying for. And I think if we can't be good stewards over what we're already paying for,   Why are we asking for more? To me, I'm like, tighten the bows. Like that's way easier, but that's discipline and discipline does equal freedom. So for practices, it might be worthwhile before we even jump on the horn and say, we need more new patients. I'm just going to list it off for you. Missed call numbers. We're going to go through our like from missed to scheduling. What about who's over all the followups of all these? What about our review process? What about our re-care? What about our reactivation? What about our reappointment?   If those aren't tight, you have the patience in your practice, you're just not using them and handling them with care. And so make sure that you're not like, I hate wasting money and I think that this is one of the greatest opportunities to waste money. So when we think about it, like here's top funnel, right? We talked about, we gotta make sure our leak is not leaking, okay? Bucket has all the holes filled. Then we gotta make sure what are we saying online versus what they're experiencing and what they're experiencing is that showcased online. Tighten all that up.   And then when we look at this, I'm like, okay, we are solid on this. But what really, really is going to speak and help and what's going to create massive growth for your practice is when the patient journey feels clear, consistent, easy from the first click to the first visit. So when we think about this, we talked about this a little while ago, like what does this new customer want? What does this new patient want? We want to pay attention to like how quickly are we responding to people? What happens when they show up to our practice? Are we so like   excited. Is it genuinely? ⁓ Someone told me a quote for the Ritz-Carlton and it said, ladies and gentlemen, serving ladies and gentlemen. And I have not stopped thinking about their mission statement because I think about it if like, do you have high level professionals serving high level professionals? Or do we have high level professionals serving friends and family of the community? Or do we have like everyday community team members serving and loving everyday team, like community families?   Whatever it is, making sure that this patient feels like the journey is so consistent with what we're putting online, what we're saying we are. So how do we have this? And so really making sure that there is this whole process, like patients love you from the first day that they call you. Patients are excited to work with you. Patients are just giddy. Patients, when they leave the practice, are giddy to refer you, to leave a review for you, to leave a referral. And I think people forget...   that this could actually be a very easy process. So ways that teams can do this is like, let's actually run through a new patient calling, call the practice and like, let's hear how they answer. And don't be afraid to give honest feedback. This is what we're here for. We are here to give honest feedback. And so what was that experience like? Did I feel like you were so excited that you're my best friend that you can't wait to welcome me into the practice? Or if you're more of a holistic practice that it's a Zen, it's a calming, it's a we've got you and we're gonna take great care of you. How do people feel when they call your practice? That's number one.   Number two, let's go online. What do our reviews say? What does our website look like? And does that match when you come into the practice? And if it doesn't, what small little changes, notice they're small, not giant ones. What small changes need to happen? Do we need to update our Google presence? Do we need to update our website? What do we need to do from there? Okay, so we go through that. Then we walk through the practice as a new patient. So come in the door, act like a new patient or act like a regular patient. Let's do role play both of them. How is a new patient greeted? Are they just given an iPad and told to sit there?   Is it like, me have a concierge style with them. What about new patients? Are we saying, hey, it's so great to see you, Kiera. How's your family? Gosh, like let me make sure I get your next cleaning scheduled for you. I know that you absolutely love to like zip out the door you're busy. And who else can I schedule for you? Let me make your life simple while we're waiting. I'll grab you a cup of coffee while you wait. Are we doing that? Did you just hear how many little opportunities I asked? The new patients coming in, the patient there, like how to get more patients just by loving them and being a friend to them. Then what is it like when we take them to the back office?   How is our new patient experience? them in the hygiene chair. How do we explain our pieces? And then what's our wrap up at the end? How do doctors wrap up the exams? How do we take that patient to the front office? How do we hand them off to the front office team to make sure that they're having this amazing experience? Front office team, how are you wrapping up? Are we asking for reviews at that point in time? Do we maybe have a little postcard that we can give them of like, we're trying to help more patients like you. Best way to do it is to leave us a five star review. I love working with you, Kiera. You absolutely make my day. Every time you come into the practice,   I would love it if you'd leave me five star review. Just so you know, my hygienist at the office that I absolutely loved asked me that. I went right home, I had the little postcard, set it on my counter, did the review that night, because it was so simple. That review, also it sat there. My husband doesn't go to that practice. And I was like, I love my hygienist, Jayce. You should probably schedule, like we should get you scheduled for that. Little subtle things. And I'm already patient. I'm the cheapest, easiest marketing to go after. And my patient experience was amazing when I went in there.   Now, when I got annoyed with them, it was because I wouldn't get the same hygienist. I didn't have the same doctor. People didn't know my name. They were late. I left. I ended up leaving the practice. So those little things that we don't think matter are what are deterring. So not only do you role play through what's going great in your practice, but maybe that's also question mark, why would people leave our practice? Asking that question can also be a great audit of why, and are we following up on missed phone calls?   Are we calling people back? Are we scheduling them for unscheduled treatment plans? Are we running this report every single month? Like, do you see how there's an entire ecosystem around these patients? And so when I asked the question at the beginning of why great practices still struggle to attract patients, I think the better question on that is, are we actually doing the little pieces that drive us forward consistently? Are we hoping and praying for miracles of new patients to just rain from the sky?   It's like, I can have rain come every single day from the sky, but if I'm not collecting it in buckets, purifying that, making sure I have a system for that, as much rain that comes down is never going to be enough for you. And so when I look at this, I think it's a space of how can we make sure that our marketing dollars are being well taken care of? Every patient in our practice feels like they are a VIP and that they want to send more patients to us. Those simple, small things are actually how great practices can freaking thrive.   These are how my best of the best do it. When I look at my highest ones, the ones who have repeat customers constantly, they're tight. Their reappointments are there. Their missed calls, they track that, they monitor that. That's a KPI for them. They check to see how long before we get back to missed calls. They are reducing that missed call number. Their reappointment percentages are high from hygienists. They're running the reports. They do not have many patients sitting in their re-care and reactivation campaigns. They are running those on a regular basis, getting patients back into the practice. They also are making sure that they're auditing how's our patient experience.   What's our online presence saying versus what's our inside presence saying? How is our experience? Why would they be leaving us? Let's tighten this up. Let's tighten this up. Let's make sure every encounter is great. We are constantly asking for reviews and referrals. And if that feels daunting to you, then great news. You just heard an amazing opportunity to grow your practice with minimal effort. This is how you're able to do it. You don't need to be fancy, flashy, showy, none of that. All you need to do is have consistency and intentionality. And so I think it's one of those things of growth comes   from being clear, being consistent, and actually having a great experience every time they come, because patients stay for that. So when it's not easy, when you feel like this, a lot of times it's just like doctors are like, I'm busy in the back, Kiera. I'm doing dentistry. I'm drilling and filling. Like, how am supposed to have time for this? And office managers are like, you don't even talk to me. I'm trying to get all the billing out there. I don't disagree. And I feel like these are the cobwebs within the practice that make a practice great or have a practice crumble.   And I think so often people think they need more new patients or they need all these different things when actually all they need is to tighten up and refine and optimize what they already have and have somebody help them with that. So I would love to help you guys. I'd love to find out like where is this breakdown? Where can we tackle it and help hold you guys accountable to it so you actually see the fruits of your labors.

And I want you to pick one thing from today's podcast, not all of it, because that can feel daunting, but one thing where we can tighten, sharpen, and refine and optimize to where we don't have these gaps in our practice. Yes, marketing has its place.   But like I said, all the rain can come to you, but if you're not collecting it, refining it and optimizing it, doesn't matter how much rain falls, you're always gonna want more.

So I want to remind you that patients don't choose practices that are best in theory. They choose practice that feels easiest to trust. And sometimes I get annoyed because I do watch practices and there are some practices that I don't think should be the highest top practice. And yet they are because they are the easiest to trust. are the easiest. They are the best marketed. They are the ones that just make the process simple. You can think about a competitor you might have.   And question mark, why would patients go there versus you when you might be a better clinician, a better overall experience?
