Dave rings in New Year's Eve with a raw, reflective Wednesday dose amid a “rough fucking week” on the home front, admitting family struggles (including Linda's dad's health) have him questioning whether to keep the grueling Five Days of Dopey schedule into 2026 while teasing resolutions like restarting the infamous Dopey Fitness Challenge, daily writing, and maybe even Tai Chi to save his creaky joints. He reads a heartfelt email from old-timer Craig begging him to go full-throttle for the community's sake, then drops the full replay of his recent guest spot on the hippie Yellow Balloon podcast One Show at a Time—a rapid-fire qualification packed with childhood staph infections, codependency as his first “drug,” heroin-fueled career crashes, supervised visitation shame, and the desperate AA surrender that finally stuck at 41. The share ends with an avalanche of love from the Zoom crowd (random cameos from Ivan Neville and Anders Osborne included), leaving Dave both embarrassed and deeply grateful as he closes out 2025 counting blessings, overeating brookies with Susan at Patchogue's early ball drop, and reminding the Nation: if you're struggling tonight, reach out—tomorrow's a new day. All that and more on this weeks collab show with the one show at a time podcast! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Time to give the voice a rest, using the convenient excuse of the holiday! That's right! It's Arbitrary Metric Day, the annual festival celebrated by making dad jokes about writing the wrong dates on things called "checks," whatever they might be. To mark the occasion and keep some number of you company today, we continue on our Christmas re-run timeline, presenting our January 1, 2021 episode. Back then, it was a brand-new, pre-recorded show, for a brand new year! Scott Anderson had the day off, so it fell to me to summarize the day's show. And boy, did I ever not want to do that! The only logical thing to do was to half-ass it, and I am nothing if not logical. The Senate advanced their work in overriding the NDAA veto yesterday, and everyone's a little bit puzzled as to how it's going down, and what it means for the prospect (if there ever was any) for $2,000 relief checks before this Congress dissolves. In the meantime, maybe just ask Moscow Mitch directly. In coronavirus news, a nurse who got his first dose of vaccine has caught the 'rona in-between jabs. But don't worry! That actually doesn't mean much. Masking appears to have helped India tamp down on the virus' spread, though there's some debate over how widespread the practice really is. Meanwhile, Russia appears to be 'fessing-up to its real losses. Here in the US, we may not be systematically underreporting losses, but we're not covering them as aggressively as we could be. More dopey Republicans have walked straight into the COVID buzzsaw. Good news! Trump is finally taking "action" about those bounties on our troops! The bad news is, he's only targeting China for it. Republican nutcases are still plotting to put on a futile display of upending our democracy. But some of the key Republican players on Jan. 6 probably aren't on board. Arizona's own Republican nutcases might have really stepped in it. As a parting New Year's present, here's a plausible theory for invalidating some of Trump's impeachment-connected pardons.
As a new year approaches, how should Christians think about goals, habits, and productivity—without slipping into hustle culture or empty self-improvement?In this episode, Mark offers a pastoral framework for goal setting that prioritizes faithfulness over frenzy. Rather than chasing vague resolutions or cultural pressure, he encourages listeners to think carefully about how they steward their time, energy, and attention as followers of Jesus. Drawing on biblical wisdom and pastoral experience, Mark contrasts surface-level goal setting with intentional rhythms that shape who we are becoming.Mark also introduces the Spiritual Workout Plan (SWP) as a practical tool to help believers grow in grace through daily and weekly practices like Scripture reading, prayer, silence, and intentional rest. This episode invites listeners to move from pressure-driven productivity to Spirit-formed faithfulness as they plan for the year ahead.Episode Highlights00:00 — Why goal setting matters—and why most approaches fall short 02:12 — Faithfulness vs. hustle: rethinking success as a Christian 04:35 — Time, energy, and attention as spiritual stewardship 07:18 — The danger of vague resolutions and cultural pressure 09:50 — Forming rhythms instead of chasing outcomes 12:40 — Introducing the Spiritual Workout Plan (SWP): what it is and how it helps 15:22 — Daily and weekly practices that shape long-term faithfulness 18:10 — From discipline to delight: how habits form loves 21:05 — Planning your year with wisdom, margin, and dependence on graceResourcesCornerstone Church Sermons: Listen onlineThe Spring Spiritual Workout PlanJames Clear, Atomic HabitsJustin Whitmel Earley, Habits of the HouseholdDavid Mathis, Habits of Grace

Time has been kind to Stanley Kubrick's “The Shining.” His adaptation of the best-selling novel was initially dismissed by critics and author Stephen King, however it has since been hailed for its chilling aesthetic, superb visual fabric and harrowing sound design. Always ahead of his time, Kubrick got the last laugh, as "The Shining" is now rightfully considered one of the greatest horror films in cinema. Steve Cozzolino checks in to the Overlook and joins Dennis to discuss why all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
All Bones Considered: Laurel Hill Stories #082 for January 1, 2026 It's January! Time for our annual 200th Birthday Bash for people born in 1826. After Martha Coston was widowed at age 21, she used her husbands notes and reputation to invent airborne signal flares that saved hundreds of lives. Henry Hagert was assistant District Attorney for the City of Philadelphia when he prosecuted a man for the murder of Civil Rights Activist Octavius V. Catto. Daniel Pabst was the finest cabinetmaker in town and people waited years for him to create their household masterpieces, many of which are today in museums. Dr. Thomas Hewson Bache was a co-founder of Children's Hospital of Pennsylvania, curator at the Mutter Museum, and a battlefield surgeon at Gettysburg. He was also Benjamin Franklin's great-great-grandson. Military historian Russ Dodge researched this one. Samuel Frankenfield was a German immigrant carpenter who discovered there was money to be made as a coffin builder and successfully switched professions from carpenter to mortician. All were born in 1826.

Writer, director, and star Joanna Arnow delivers one of the sharpest, most quietly uncomfortable comedies of recent years with The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed (2023), a film that weaponizes awkwardness, deadpan humor, and emotional stasis. Arnow plays Ann, a thirty-three-year-old woman drifting through New York City, desperate for connection but seemingly incapable of advocating for herself. She works a job that barely registers as meaningful, endures social interactions that feel transactional at best, and navigates a BDSM relationship that has quietly slipped from consensual ritual into something emotionally hollow.Lisa Vandever and Keith Gordon join Mike to unpack Arnow's deceptively modest narrative and the precision with which it captures a very modern kind of paralysis.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

Kiera, as everyone knows, is a fantastic gift giver. You really are, because you put so much thought into every gift that you give and it's sent with love. So I hope all of our clients who get gifts know that like that same spirit is sent in everything that you get. But my point of it is, years and years have gone by now. The Dental A Team (00:28) Thank you. Thank you. The Dental A Team (00:45) that I get little Spiffy Tiffy gifts. So it either just says Spiffy Tiffy or it has my caricature who will make a comeback one day. But I used my, it's coming, I know, I know. I used my luggage, like my bag that you had given me. And I was just randomly just like walking along like I always do. This happens to me a lot, like Spiffy Tiffy. And I'm like, what? Like, who are you? Like, how do you know that? You listening to a podcast? That's weird. The Dental A Team (00:50) One day, we're coming. Mm-hmm. Thank you The Dental A Team (01:12) And then I realized that I had The Dental A Team (01:13) Weird. The Dental A Team (01:13) my, they were like, what is that? What does that mean? And I was like, well, that's me, obviously. My caricature is on there. So anyways, it was just a funny story that I was just like, what? Like it always catches me off guard when somebody calls me Spiffy Tiffy, or when I get on a client call and somebody's like, ⁓ Spiffy Tiffy. And I'm like, this is so weird. The Dental A Team (01:28) you It is weird and so it makes me so happy that people like get into like who Tiff is the spiffy Tiffy like they're calling you they're like that's like a very very inner circle name and so for people in the airport to be like hey spiffy Tiffy. The Dental A Team (01:38) They love it. I know, literally, literally. And I had a client the other day that was like texting me. ⁓ We text all the time, me and this client, he knows who he is and he listens to all of them and I know this because he was texting me and he's like, it's so weird. Well, he was voice texting in his Tessie, but he's like, this is so weird to be like listening to the podcast in my car, you're talking, but like I'm voice texting to you. So then Tessie is like saying it back. And I was like, wow, that is like an alternate universe. The Dental A Team (01:55) Yeah. you ⁓ you That's a that's a full Spiffy Tiffy moment all the way around and I do love because Spiffy Tiffy actually came from the podcast So like we really want to throw this all the way back. I just I love a good a good nickname I love a good like and honestly tiff it's just stuck like it used to be like TT tiff tiff Spiffy Tiffy though I think is like the clutch like it is the best of the best so and I mean it's got to you We've been doing this for a long time together and that's I think why it's a special treat The Dental A Team (02:19) Yeah. I said it. The Dental A Team (02:41) I don't know how you guys feel in your practices, but if you've got your core person that's been with you since the get-go, I think as the business evolves, you kind of lose that time together because you have to like, Tiff's over with consultant, she's podcasting, I'm running different pieces. We've got like our two different worlds, but I think like, I'm just gonna say a shout out to the founders and their like core person. Have fun time together. Like remember why you got into business together, which is why Tiff and I like enjoy a good podcast time. It's a good hangout. So on that note, Tiff and I are gonna talk about one of our favorite things, team bonding. And this came up because Tiff has so many fun games that she does in offices when we go in and consult. And I just thought about like, offices don't think like we do. And I didn't realize this, Tiff and I used to think everybody, I mean, Tiff and I can be across a room, even today when we're coming onto the podcast, I'm going into Slack to message Tiff our link to podcasts, right as she's sending me a thing of do you want me to join? Like Tiff and I are, it is a weird. I do feel like we were twins. Like, I think we just got separated by one year, but like we were meant to come into this world at the same time. It is a weird synergy that we have together. So sometimes we think that everybody thinks like us for better or for worse. And I was realizing that teams don't think about team bonding like you and I do Tiff. You are such a talented person at getting teams to engage, to have fun, to like get lightheartedness and then really dig into deep topics. And so that's where I thought, Hey, it's Kieran Tiff. Like, let's just do a throwback. Let's have a fun time today on the podcast and give our listeners. Like, hey, here's some great ideas for team bonding that you can do that's fun, enjoyable, energetic, and honestly will bring a little curative magic to your practice. And if you hate doing this, a reason you should reach out to Dental A Team, because we love to do this. I feel like we're just going to put on a party when we're in an office and have a good time doing it. So Tiff, let's talk some of our favorite team bonding things that we do in offices. The Dental A Team (04:26) Yeah, think number one, thank you, Kiera, for all of what you said. There's so much there to be thankful for and grateful for. So this journey has been incredible. And I'm just excited that we're still here together. It's been some moments, you know? I'm kidding, not kidding, but dirty laundry. The Dental A Team (04:38) Me too. Yeah. I mean, I'm just going to slight tangent. was recording earlier and I was talking about like 12 systems and I'm like, Oh my gosh, Tiff and I did a labor of love on the podcast. Do you remember that? We did all 12 systems and we talked about how like you and I have hard conversations together and some client texted you and they're like, how did you and Kiera get there? And you're like, Oh, if you see the conversations behind the scenes that we've had for the years. And I say like, man, The Dental A Team (04:53) huh. The Dental A Team (05:07) appreciation to you. This was not my forte until I met you and you have pulled it out of me, but I do agree. I think that will also tie into team bonding. it's not really a total side tangent. ⁓ I think having conversations and relationships, we were even talking about, we're coming together for a company ⁓ annual planning of leadership and we were debating like, we all stay in separate hotels or do we get a VRBO and we're all together? And Tiff, you said it so well this morning. You're like, it's like family. The Dental A Team (05:17) So I was gonna say, yeah. The Dental A Team (05:33) When you're in leadership, when you're in teams, you've got to learn to work through those problems and not just run to your room, slam the door and be siloed. But I think that that's what team building and bonding is supposed to be about. It's not just supposed to be the surface level. Like if you really want a team that can jive and energize and be solid, you've got to have these team building. And I think a lot of team buildings, the communication and tip, that's honestly something shout out to you and appreciation. Cause the woman I am today, you have had a huge influence on me being the communicator. the hard conversations, the directness. You even tell me like, Kiera, just be freaking direct. Just tell me what you want. I'm like, okay, this is what I want. Like, thank you. That's great. Let's move on. And just the, which I appreciate. So I think like not planned. I think that that's a core route to the team bonding and the pieces is that's what you're ultimately trying to get to is that that connection, that confidence, that trust, that vulnerability that you can say what needs to be said. And the person on the other side is not just going to walk away. The Dental A Team (06:07) Yeah, that's my efficiency. The Dental A Team (06:28) even if it doesn't land right. There have been times you and I have had eyes with each other of like, so I'm going to say like what I think you were trying to say and you let me know if that's what you meant. Cause what I heard was definitely not that. The Dental A Team (06:38) Yeah, yeah, thank you for that. I appreciate that. And I think that to my core, it's why, to my core, it's why waste time on stuff that doesn't, like why waste time, period. Just why waste time? Time is like so precious in all of our lives and we spend so much time trying to figure out what someone meant by something they said or what they're actually thinking or. they said this, like actually they I know that they meant this. I'm like, well, you don't because that's not what they said. So like you can ask them or we can sit here and like keep talking about it. My friends probably love and hate that about me and Kiera, you probably do too, because sometimes I'm just like, how many times are we going to talk about this like boy, right? Like, like I can't talk about this boy anymore because you it's either yes or no. like, so we move on, right. So time and I do think like The Dental A Team (07:13) love. The Dental A Team (07:24) I appreciate that, Kiera. Everything you said, again, thank you. And I agree, like we've come so far and with team bonding and even just like having fun team meetings, the key is that everyone in life just wants to enjoy what we're doing. We just want to enjoy every day. We just want to enjoy the life that we're living. So coming in and having a stuffy meeting or having a like forced to bond with people situation, like sometimes I don't want to bond with that person and that's okay too. We can still be on a team together and work. really freaking well. So don't force people to bond together and don't force things that just just don't force things you guys it should be a very natural situation but the point of all of that is my core is efficiency so like don't waste time just what can we do to like just and and I'm not saying don't work through things I'm saying tell me what needs to be said so that we can work through it because I will spend as much time as possible. as needed, as necessary to work through something. But I don't like the like him and ha back and forth because it makes me uncomfortable because I can't figure out what to do. And so it's a space of just like, as long as it's clear, I can work through anything with anyone. I can be anyone's friend for the rest of our eternity because I can work through anything as long as on the other side it's reciprocated. And for team bonding, and I think me working with teams, I think that's something that I carry and that I bring to make it fun. It's like, cool, we're gonna have fun. And who I am as I show up today is who I am as I show up in offices too. And so I think it breaks down a lot of barriers. So when you come in and you're like, I am the leader and I am the boss and we're gonna do these things, it's like, no, just be with them. So we can just be with each other and be together. like Kiera. Kiera not staying, she doesn't have to stay at the VRBO while we go do our leadership retreat, right? Like we could have put the rest of us together because we're not the owner of the company and maybe she needs a breather, maybe she needs, like she could have done that, but it would have broken that bond between Kiera and the rest of the team. So her being like on the same level as us does not mean that we don't respect her as the owner of the company and as the lead to us that she is. it means that we feel seen, heard, valued, and respected ourselves. So that team bonding really becomes about the team and not just the rest of the team. Kiera's a part of that team. ⁓ But I think, Kiera, I think that was massive information and it was a good spin on it. But I think the fun piece that we bring, think we should, we talk about that. And a lot of that comes from Kiera, you, The Dental A Team (09:58) Mm-hmm. The Dental A Team (10:12) giving the permission to be that way. When we first started, I think anyone who's like, there's a lot there, but I think anyone who's like, I'm going to be a consultant, right? It's like, I'm going to wear the heels and I'm going to wear the pencil skirt. I was listening to a podcast yesterday, it was like that CEO mindset. And it's like every little girl is taught like you're going to be a mom and a CEO. And we all have that mindset. And that CEO is like, stern. She's like, Yep, GSD. The Dental A Team (10:17) you The Dental A Team (10:41) We don't laugh, don't talk, we get stuff done and I go home to my kids. And it's just like this like stern, stuffy human. And coming into consulting, it feels like that's how I'm supposed to be. And I know a lot of companies are that way and that's totally fine. And I know it works for people, works for people. What we came into was know we're here to have fun and we're gonna bring out the child-like enthusiasm. Because it helps get things done and people can love their jobs like I don't want to come in and be like man I do this Stern Stern I want to come in and be like let's play games like let's rally let's shake things up let's make this fun again and watch what you can do to your profitability just by Living a fun life and care I think that's a piece that people miss when we when we decide we're adults now, so we decide we're adults and we're like The Dental A Team (11:15) Mm-hmm. The Dental A Team (11:36) not supposed to have fun anymore. We're not supposed to laugh at work. We're supposed to be serious. And that was just the movies we watched, right? That was the Devil Wears Prada. Nobody's actually running around like the Devil Wears Prada and loving their life. Like, no, we're here to have fun. And Kiera, think that's something that you give all of us permission to do, because I think that's the spirit that you carry in life. I think it's like a balance for you, and you're constantly on the teeter totter of that. But I, as just The Dental A Team (11:46) Right. ⁓ The Dental A Team (12:05) lead consultant in the company, not owners, CEO, whatever titles you carry, I get to live that up constantly and not have that teeter quite as much. So I think when it comes to team bonding and you asking me that it's because I do have that permission to like shake things up and just be fun and have fun. And if I'm, I tell my, every practice I walk into, every team meeting that we do, I tell them if we're not having fun here. The Dental A Team (12:06) you The Dental A Team (12:32) I am peace and out. I do not want to live a life that's not fun. So this meeting is like, yeah, exactly. And I tell them that I'm efficient, I'm not wasting my time, I'm not wasting your time. Promise you, I will never waste your time. So if we're not having fun in this meeting, we are not enjoying the heck out of our lives and getting actionable, clear, pushing forward pieces that we can implement right away, why did we even come here today? The Dental A Team (12:35) There's your efficiency. I love it. And thank you for the things you said and the agreed fun I think is such a key element in the spirit of fun. I was thinking about it. It's not quite my best alliteration for you, but I think it's going to be just an added on for you that you're going to appreciate. I was thinking, okay, TIFFs efficiency. We've got Spiffy Tiffy. So it's not perfect because I think it can be taken a smidgey wrong, but I think it's freaking funny. I think we call you iffy Spiffy Tiffy because I can't quite get efficiency, but the iffy kind of just edges for you. The Dental A Team (13:26) So it's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I like it, I like it. The Dental A Team (13:27) We got the iffy Spiffy Tiffy over there. I'll work on it a little bit more. But to that point, the efficiency, the fun, the team bonding and agreed for me, I don't want to be in a company and this is your space. This is what you do for us on Dental A Team. Fun is one of our core values. It's who I am at my core. ⁓ like yesterday I walked into a meeting, ⁓ and walked in virtually and Eve, our marketer, I she doesn't get embarrassed by this. Like it was freaking funny. I laughed so hard. We were like changing our names. were giving me a hard time because my name came in as the wrong name. And she was like, Kiera, no, you can just change your name like this. So she put in big boss in all caps and we're on this marketing meeting and I freaking laughed. I thought it was hilarious. The fact that she could say that in front of her boss to me. Well, I also know that Eve has the utmost respect for me of what we would do and would never in her wild streams ever disrespect me. So then of course I pop onto the me. I had to like switch and join in a different way. So I throw in bigger boss with a smiley face. and Eve like dies laughing on it. And then our marketing consultant was like, and the ultimate boss. But I think in those realms, being human as the CEO and as the boss of it is more fun. And Tiff, to your point about team meetings and team bonding, I think living life on purpose and having fun in what you're doing is the key to getting success of your team. We can talk and we can give you all the tactics. Like Tiff and I do balloon towers and we help you with that. We do a lemonade stand. That's a ton of fun. We do. Two truths and a lie. do, ⁓ gosh, there's like riddles that we do. There's so many different things that we do that we can tell you that we can spin. We do paper airplanes, we do peanut butter and jelly. Like we can give you the tactical, but Tiff, think it was unintentionally perfect today that the core of how you get team bonding to really resonate is one, be who you are and be true to who you are. I did not want a stuffy consulting company. That was not what I was here for. I did not want the pencil skirts. I want us to deliver the pencil skirt standard while being an approachable human for you. And that to us is our core. That's who we bring in for consultants. If you are too stuffy, if you can't have fun, if you can't laugh at yourself, probably not the place to be because we want clients to be able to do that. So one, be true to who you are. Two, have fun and make sure that your team and your like you're experiencing this and then do bonding on purpose. Like you said, Tiff, I think it's like, what's the purpose when we do all those games, there is a purpose that we tie to it of helping people like peanut butter and jelly is communication of handoffs. Like you tell me to put peanut butter on, I'm gonna wipe it all the way up my arm. We had a whole commercial for this, like let's do some real big throwbacks. It was one of the funniest things we ever did because like that was real and that's real life for handoffs. But when you do team bonding, make sure it's intentional, make sure you're human, make sure you're real and make sure you're having fun. I think would kind of be the pretty bow to put on this team bonding. Tiff, any last bows you wanna add to our team bonding funds? Iffy, smiffy, tiffy over there. The Dental A Team (15:46) So great. Yeah. I... Whatever it is. Come on, guys. You guys can help with this. Everyone knows me now. ⁓ No, I think... The Dental A Team (16:10) I'm gonna get you a bag. They're gonna really like iffy Spiffy Tiffy. I just love okay I'll work on it The Dental A Team (16:15) Are you or aren't you? Which one is it? I think a pretty bow. I think you hit so many pieces on the head. I think one of the pieces you said was, yes, make sure that the games are intentional. Whatever it is that it's tying back to something. So something I think we do really well is tie back to the thing that we want. train teams to do this all the time. It's like treatment planning. I want you to schedule. So it's like, no, I don't have that. But what I can do is put you here. I'm tying it back always to what I want. So whatever game it is, whatever bonding experience it is, like how can we relate this to what we're doing? Kiera took us all, and this is not to tell you what to do with your bonding. Kiera took us all one year to Disney. And we were like, fantastic. But then right before Disney, she's like, and our goal is to figure out how Disney does what they do, right? And I was like, for the love, we can't just have a day, you know? But then it was like, immediately I was like, gosh, give it up, woman, right? The Dental A Team (16:53) Thank The Dental A Team (17:14) But then I was like, actually, that's really brilliant because how does Disney do what they do? Like, how do they clean up the trash without anybody knowing? Like, how do we go above and beyond for our clients in a way that mimics how Disney goes above and beyond? And so it actually turned into like this really great thing, right? But anyways, be intentional, be true to yourself, be yourself, and let people see you. The Dental A Team (17:38) Tiff, yes, I have softened up a little bit. We don't always have as many meetings or as many photo shoots, but I appreciate that you said that because I also do believe as a CEO, I want people to bond and to be together and to, but again, it's an intentional bonding. And when we did go to Disney and it was a ton of fun, like we had a blast. think our second round, you and I looked at each other, because sometimes Tiff and I, we have a good, good friendship, you guys. We've been like dear friends, like. The Dental A Team (17:42) ⁓ Thank you. The Dental A Team (18:04) I'd put it in like BFF. Like I think if we were in elementary school, we'd have those separate heart brace like necklaces. ⁓ Tiff and I are truly like dear friends in and outside of work. And I sometimes make Tiff not be my friend in public settings because I'm like, no, I'm here as a boss. And the last time we loosened up a lot and I'm like, everybody should know that Spiffy, Tiffy and Katie go way far back in the, like you should be grateful that Tiff and I are as close as we are for the things we've gone through. But to that point when we did Disney, The Dental A Team (18:30) Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. The Dental A Team (18:33) I think that there's always, ⁓ as leaders, your job is to make sure teams can tie back to that because you might help them highlight and see, Tiff now thinks about Disney very differently, then it's fun, but how can we now make our company this way? And to develop and develop leaders, I think is one of the paramount pieces of team development. So I know Tiff and I were a little like spirally, we had a good time. guys, Tiff and I don't get to chat all the time, so I hope you enjoyed a little chit chat personal on this, also a lot of fun, but I hope if nothing else, you take the core of exactly what Tiff said. Be intentional, be true to yourself, bond for the sake of bonding, not forced bonding, and really truly have a lot of fun. Teams will resonate so much faster in that childhood fun. How do we as consultants flip the results we do? It's by getting you to basic ease, fun core that helps them see the purpose, the why behind it, but did it in such a playful, fun way. So if you need more tips or you want help with that, be sure to reach out. Tiff and I have a bajillion ideas. I feel like we're like Mary Poppins with our bag full of tricks, but it's truly with intentional purpose. to help your teams just rise to the level that they want to go, not necessarily where the CEO wants them to go. It's conjoined, it's conjunct, like they really do come together. So enjoy that. Tiff, thanks for being on the podcast. I know we've got to both run to our next meetings, but thank you. Swiftie Tiffy, thanks for being in my life. Thanks for being on the podcast. Thanks for giving all this goodness to everybody. And truly you just change teams lives when you go in there. So I think any practice who gets to work with you or our team that you train truly is super blessed to have that. So thank you. Yeah. The Dental A Team (19:44) Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

What does "professional" pet care actually mean—and why does it matter so much right now? Collin sits down with Niki Tudge, founder of the Pet Professional Guild, to talk about the gap between what pet owners assume they're buying and what many providers actually deliver. Niki shares the eye-opening real-life process she used to hire a pet sitter for her own dogs—and why it convinced her the industry needs higher minimum standards. Together, they discuss practical ways to educate clients, set non-negotiables, and document care like it truly matters. The conversation ends with a challenge: raise your standards, raise your confidence, and build a business that protects pets, clients, and your team. Main topics: Minimum standards in pet care Client education and expectations Intake assessments and documentation Pet first aid readiness Collaboration and referral networks Main takeaway: "My minimum level of care for every dog or cat… is the same as if it was my own animal" That idea challenges a lot of the shortcuts our industry has quietly accepted over the years. If it wouldn't be acceptable for your dog or cat, it shouldn't be acceptable for a client's—no matter the schedule, price point, or pressure to say yes. This mindset forces clarity. It defines non-negotiables around safety, supervision, documentation, enrichment, and medical awareness. It also gives you the confidence to say no when a service request would compromise an animal's wellbeing. When pet care professionals operate from this standard, trust becomes automatic. Clients may not understand every protocol, but they feel the difference—and that's what builds sustainable, ethical businesses in the long run. About our guest: Niki Tudge is the founder of the Pet Professional Guild and a long-time leader in pet care education and professional standards. After a career in business and operations, she transitioned into the pet industry through training, pet care services, and building scalable systems. She has owned and operated multiple pet-focused businesses, including an animal hospital and boarding facility, and is passionate about improving welfare, ethics, and competency across the entire pet care community. Her work focuses on education, collaboration, and raising minimum standards for anyone handling pets professionally.

Notes and Links to Cole Cuchna's Work Cole Cuchna graduated from California State University with a degree in music composition. Cuchna graduated in 2015, pursued a short solo career, then worked as a barista. But his desire to bridge the classical and pop worlds persisted. He remembered his love of writing essays and conducting deep research about music. That coincided with the growing popularity of podcasting, which had been around for a decade. It was the perfect medium, he felt, for long-form analysis of an audio art. Cole is the host and creator of Dissect Podcast, a music podcast which debuted in 2016. The podcast is renowned for its in-depth analysis of contemporary music. Dissect was named "Best podcast of 2017" by Quartz, and the following year was named "Best podcast of 2018" by The New York Times. Additionally, both Time magazine and The Guardian listed Dissect as one of the top 50 podcasts of 2018. 2025 marks the 13th season of Dissect.

Cats Cradle is inspired by the Greek myth Ariadne and her journey from Crete to Naxos. Like The Fates, she is associated with the symbol of the thread, which she uses to help Theseus kill the Minotaur. Central to Ariadne's story is her deification, her transcendence from mortal to divine through a union with Dionysus. By revisiting this ancient myth, Cats Cradle invites viewers to reflect on how they navigate their own inner labyrinths of identity and transformation. https://www.instagram.com/allysonglennart/ https://www.facebook.com/allyson.glenn.1/ What motivated you to make this film? I was preparing for a solo art exhibition called Date with Hermes: Journeying between Dreams and Reality for the Vorres Museum in Greece (2024). The curator, Dr. Katerina Pizania, suggested I create an animation to connect the Greek myth themes. While the show focused on large-scale paintings and works on paper, the film became a companion piece to my series on Ariadne and Dionysus. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film? I only had two months to develop the animation for the first exhibition, so the first version was more of an “outline.”Completing the film took a year and a half. How would you describe your film in two words!? Intense! What was the biggest obstacle you faced in completing this film? Time! As a full-time Associate Professor at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, I worked on the animation during weekends with invaluable help from students and alumni. ---- Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

Adrian Tchaikovsky came on the show to talk about how he writes fantasy and science fiction. He won the Arthur C. Clarke Award for his book, Children of Time, and has written more than 60 books and novellas. He spends his life thinking about how to make believable worlds and how to build characters that have weight to them. My favorite thing is how he writes a fight scene, how he thinks through the pacing and all the action. If you want to write imaginative stories filled with wonder and fantasy, you're going to like this episode. About the host Hey! I'm David Perell and I'm a writer, teacher, and podcaster.

Writer, director, and star Joanna Arnow delivers one of the sharpest, most quietly uncomfortable comedies of recent years with The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed (2023), a film that weaponizes awkwardness, deadpan humor, and emotional stasis. Arnow plays Ann, a thirty-three-year-old woman drifting through New York City, desperate for connection but seemingly incapable of advocating for herself. She works a job that barely registers as meaningful, endures social interactions that feel transactional at best, and navigates a BDSM relationship that has quietly slipped from consensual ritual into something emotionally hollow.Lisa Vandever and Keith Gordon join Mike to unpack Arnow's deceptively modest narrative and the precision with which it captures a very modern kind of paralysis.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

It took 20 years of asking by an Oscar-winning filmmaker, but famed investigative reporter Seymour Hersh finally said, “Yes.” The result is "Cover-Up", a revelatory new documentary portrait of Hersh's fascinating life and career by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Laura Poitras (“Citizenfour”) and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Mark Obenhaus (“Steep”). Joining Ken on the pod, Mark (who jointly directed the film with Laura) discusses the origins of his professional relationship with Hersh and why the stars finally aligned for Hersh to agree to the project. With a career going back to the 1960's, Hersh virtually invented the idea of the modern investigative reporter. He sniffed out the facts of the horrific My Lai massacre by U.S. soldiers in Vietnam and exposed the top brass' scandalous cover-up. Following My Lai, Hersh went on to expose cover-ups in Watergate that became front page news in the “New York Times.” Years later, during the Iraq War, Hersh's reporting would again expose high-level cover-ups, revealing the graphic details of torture committed by the CIA and the U.S. Army at Abu Ghraib prison. “Cover-Up” also addresses Hersh's shortcomings as well. Time and again, Hersh's work and sources have exposed abuses of power at the highest level of the American government. It turns out that the full story was well worth waiting for.

In Part 1, he delivers a no-hype 2025 retrospective: the biggest wins (cash/hybrid models, content as infrastructure, smarter investing), the brutal flops (commodity telehealth, passive income myths, unused AI tools), and the quiet trends most doctors missed entirely. 2025 stripped away the illusions for physician entrepreneurs. While some chased shiny objects and got burned, others built real leverage, freedom, and wealth. In this raw year-in-review, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming shares exactly what crushed it, what crashed hard, and the under-the-radar shifts that separated the thriving doctors from the overwhelmed ones. No fluff, just the real lessons from coaching hundreds of physicians through the year's chaos. Top 3 Actionable Takeaways Own the patient relationship with niche cash/hybrid models: Stop competing on price in commoditized markets. Build a practice where you choose patients, control scheduling, and have pricing power, whether full cash, membership, or strategic hybrid. Micro-niches like executive perimenopause, endurance athletes, beat generic telehealth every time in 2025. Treat content as infrastructure, not marketing: One consistent long-form platform (podcast, YouTube, newsletter) compounds trust and authority faster than rented social algorithms. Patients who consume 10+ episodes arrive pre-sold, not price-shopping. Start owning your distribution now, consistency beats perfection. Go deep on fewer bets instead of wide and scattered: Spreading across 10 mediocre ventures creates overwhelm with no leverage. The 2025 winners picked 1–2 interconnected things (niche practice, community, content and membership) and mastered them. Depth creates moats; breadth creates burnout. About the Show: Bootstrap MD is the ultimate podcast for physician entrepreneurs looking to escape traditional healthcare and control their financial futures. Hosted by Dr. Mike Woo-Ming, a successful physician, entrepreneur, and investor, the show delivers actionable insights on starting businesses, creating passive income, and navigating healthcare entrepreneurship. Featuring interviews with industry leaders, physicians, and experts in telemedicine and digital health, it's your guide to building a profitable, fulfilling career.
