een nieuwe hybride tulipensoort - te creëren.En: His eyes followed the colors of the tulips, pondering which rare bulbs he would buy today to create his dream—a new hybrid tulip variety.Nl: Aan zijn zijde stond Bram.En: By his side stood Bram.Nl: Bram was dol op vogels en geloofde dat ze geluk brachten.En: Bram loved birds and believed they brought luck.Nl: Nu volgde hij de duif met een blik van vreugde en interesse.En: Now he watched the pigeon with a look of joy and interest.Nl: Sanne, de vlotte bloemiste, probeerde haar stal op orde te houden terwijl de duif een nieuwe duikvlucht inzette recht naar een bak met tulpenbollen.En: Sanne, the brisk florist, tried to keep her stall in order while the pigeon made another dive straight towards a box of tulip bulbs.Nl: "Die brutale duif neemt alles mee," zuchtte ze en wierp Maarten een hoofdschuddende blik toe.En: "That cheeky pigeon takes everything," she sighed and threw Maarten a head-shaking look.Nl: “Hij heeft al eerder problemen veroorzaakt.En: "He's caused trouble before."Nl: ”Maarten, vastberaden om zijn bollen heelhuids mee naar huis te nemen, zette allerlei tactieken in.En: Determined to take his bulbs home intact, Maarten employed all sorts of tactics.Nl: Hij probeerde de bollen goed te verbergen, maar de duif leek een zesde zintuig te hebben.En: He tried to hide the bulbs well, but the pigeon seemed to have a sixth sense.Nl: Zelfs Bram's idee om de duif met stukjes brood af te leiden, leek niet te werken.En: Even Bram's idea of distracting the pigeon with bits of bread didn't seem to work.Nl: Zijn gelukbrengende vogels waren duidelijk van een ander soort.En: His lucky birds were clearly of a different kind.Nl: Toen gebeurde het: de duif slaagde erin de meest kostbare bol van Maarten te grijpen.En: Then it happened: the pigeon managed to grab Maarten's most precious bulb.Nl: In een fractie van seconden zag hij zijn droom de lucht in gaan.En: In a fraction of a second, he saw his dream take to the skies.Nl: In een komisch tafereel rende Maarten, zijn armen zwaaiend door de menigte, achter de duif aan.En: In a comical scene, Maarten, arms waving through the crowd, ran after the pigeon.Nl: Sanne kon het niet helpen, ze lachte terwijl ze zag hoe Maarten over bloembakken en tussen toeristen door strompelde.En: Sanne couldn't help but laugh as she watched Maarten stumble over flower boxes and through tourists.Nl: Bram, genietend van de chaos, riep "Laat me helpen, Maarten!En: Bram, enjoying the chaos, shouted, "Let me help, Maarten!"Nl: " en samen met een beetje teamwork en veel hilariteit, lukte het ze de duif te slim af te zijn.En: and with a bit of teamwork and a lot of hilarity, they managed to outsmart the pigeon.Nl: Ze wisten de bol veilig te stellen na een wonderlijke, chaotische race.En: They succeeded in safely retrieving the bulb after a remarkable, chaotic race.Nl: Met de bol weer stevig in zijn handen, lachte Maarten opgelucht.En: With the bulb firmly back in his hands, Maarten laughed in relief.Nl: "Ik zie de charme van je vogels," zei hij, knipogend naar Bram.En: "I see the charm of your birds," he said, winking at Bram.Nl: Sanne, die nog steeds grinnikte, bood Maarten en Bram een mooi bloemstuk als troostprijs aan.En: Sanne, still chuckling, offered Maarten and Bram a beautiful flower arrangement as a consolation prize.Nl: "Voor de moeite en het vermaak," glimlachte ze.En: "For the effort and the entertainment," she smiled.Nl: De dag eindigde in de zon, tussen tulpen en lachen.En: The day ended in the sun, among tulips and laughter.Nl: Maarten leerde dat soms, de mooiste herinneringen worden gevormd uit onverwachte chaos.En: Maarten learned that sometimes the best memories are forged from unexpected chaos.Nl: En terwijl hij naast zijn vrienden stond, besefte hij dat een beetje vogelgeluk misschien toch niet zo slecht was.En: And as he stood next to his friends, he realized that a little bird luck might not be so bad after all.

Transcript:Nl: De lucht was helder en de zon scheen zachtjes over de uitgestrekte bloemenzee van de Keukenhof.En: The sky was clear and the sun softly shone over the vast sea of flowers at the Keukenhof.Nl: Rijen en rijen tulpen reikten zover het oog kon zien, als een levend schilderij.En: Rows and rows of tulips stretched as far as the eye could see, like a living painting.Nl: Lars liep over de paden, zijn ogen speurend naar elke bloem die hem in vervoering bracht.En: Lars walked along the paths, his eyes scanning for each flower that captivated him.Nl: Hij was hier elk jaar, steeds op zoek naar die ene zeldzame tulp waarvan hij gehoord had dat die hier soms te zien was.En: He was here every year, always searching for that one rare tulip he had heard was sometimes on display here.Nl: Femke, aan de andere kant van het park, bukte zich om de perfecte hoek voor een foto te vinden.En: Femke, on the other side of the park, crouched down to find the perfect angle for a

toevallig bij een bord dat waarschuwde voor een verboden zone.En: Lars and Femke happened to meet by a sign warning of a restricted zone.Nl: Daar, achter het koord, zou de zeldzame tulp in volle bloei staan.En: There, behind the cord, the rare tulip was said to be in full bloom.Nl: Lars kon zijn nieuwsgierigheid nauwelijks bedwingen.En: Lars could barely contain his curiosity.Nl: Hij overwoog of hij de regels zou overtreden om de bloem te zien.En: He pondered whether to break the rules to see the flower.Nl: Femke, gefrustreerd door haar bijna lege batterij, keek rond voor een stopcontact en zag dat er nergens een te vinden was.En: Femke, frustrated by her nearly empty battery, looked around for an outlet but found none.Nl: "Heb je hulp nodig?"En: "Do you need help?"Nl: vroeg Lars.En: Lars asked.Nl: Femke keek op en herkende in hem een mede-liefhebber van bloemen.En: Femke looked up and recognized in him a fellow flower enthusiast.Nl: Ze legde haar dilemma uit.En: She explained her

plan.En: Together, they devised a plan.Nl: Terwijl Lars zijn draagbare oplader uitleende, stelde Femke voor om discreet een kijkje te nemen in de verboden sectie, zodra haar camera weer werkte.En: While Lars lent his portable charger, Femke suggested discreetly taking a peek into the restricted section once her camera was working again.Nl: De oplader deed zijn werk en de camera was al snel weer klaar om foto's te maken.En: The charger did its job, and the camera was soon ready to take photos again.Nl: Ze glipten stilletjes langs het koord.En: They quietly slipped past the cord.Nl: Daar stond

fotografie.En: As they walked back to the public area, they exchanged stories about their passion for flowers and photography.Nl: Ze realiseerden zich dat hun samenwerking niet alleen een zeldzaam beeld, maar ook een nieuwe vriendschap had opgeleverd.En: They realized that their cooperation had not only yielded a rare image but also a new friendship.Nl: Toen de dag ten einde kwam en ze afscheid namen, voelde Lars zich verrijkt door de ervaring.En: When the day came to an end and they said goodbye, Lars felt enriched by the experience.Nl: Hij had geleerd dat samenwerken soms beter was dan alleen te blijven.En: He had learned that sometimes working together was better than being alone.Nl: Femke had een nieuw respect voor de expertise van anderen en wist dat haar expositie iets heel bijzonders zou zijn.En: Femke gained a new respect for the expertise of others and knew her exhibition would be something very special.Nl: Al wandelend door de uitgestrekte rijen tulpen gingen ze ieder hun eigen weg, met een glimlach op hun gezicht en een nieuw verhaal om te vertellen.En: As they each went their separate ways through the endless rows of tulips, they had smiles on their faces and a new story to tell.

This week Rachel is joined by Tulip Siddiq, and what a whirlwind of a conversation it is. Tulip has been the Labour MP for Hampstead and Highgate, previously Hampstead and Kilburn, since 2015. Not unacquainted with scandal, she is the niece of former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, and was issued with an arrest warrant by Bangladesh as part of investigations into her aunt's premiership. Tulip tells Rachel about how hard it was to weather the storm of the press over the allegations. She also reveals how it felt when politics became personal, as she campaigned for the release of her constituent Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who was detained in Iran.

Transcript:Nl: Het geluid van een verre tractor klonk zachtjes door het warme zomerbriesje.En: The sound of a distant tractor softly echoed through the warm summer breeze.Nl: De lucht boven de uitgestrekte tulpenvelden was helderblauw, en de geur van de bloeiende bloemen vulde de lucht.En: The sky above the sprawling tulip fields was helderblauw, and the scent of blooming flowers filled the air.Nl: Midden in dit kleurrijke landschap stond Sven, zijn handen in zijn zij, zijn blik strak gericht op het vreemde verschijnsel voor hem.En: In the middle of this colorful landscape stood Sven, his hands on his hips, his gaze fixed firmly on the strange phenomenon before him.Nl: Er was een cirkel in het tulpenveld.En: There was a circle in the tulip field.Nl: Niet zomaar een cirkel, maar een perfect gevormde cirkel waarin de tulpen plat op de grond lagen, alsof iets groots ze naar beneden had gedrukt.En: Not just any circle, but a perfectly formed circle where the tulips lay flat on the ground, as if something large had pressed them down.Nl: Sven zuchtte diep.En: Sven sighed deeply.Nl: Hij had zich geen raad geweten toen hij vanochtend werd gebeld door de buurvrouw.En: He hadn't known what to do when he was called by the neighbor this morning.Nl: Nu maakte hij zich zorgen over wat de andere boeren zouden denken.En: Now he was worried about what the other farmers would think.Nl: Niet veel later kwamen Anouk en Jorrit aan.En: Not long after, Anouk and Jorrit arrived.Nl: Anouk, een enthousiaste student landbouwkunde, had haar notebook bij zich.En: Anouk, an enthusiastic agricultural science student, had her notebook with her.Nl: Jorrit, vol energie en met een grijns op zijn gezicht, droeg een rugzak vol met spullen.En: Jorrit, full of energy and with a grin on his face, carried a backpack full of tools.Nl: "Wat een gaaf raadsel!"En: "What a cool mystery!"Nl: zei Jorrit terwijl hij naar de cirkel tuurde.En: said Jorrit as he stared at the circle.Nl: Sven liet hen hun gang gaan.En: Sven let them do their thing.Nl: Hij kende Anouk sinds ze klein was en vertrouwde haar oordeel.En: He had known Anouk since she was little and trusted her judgment.Nl: Ze knielde bij de randen van de cirkel en begon aantekeningen te maken.En: She knelt at the edges of the circle and began taking notes.Nl: "Er zijn geen sporen van voertuigen," merkte ze op.En: "There are no traces of vehicles," she noted.Nl: Jorrit knikte instemmend, "Laten we het van dichterbij bekijken."En: Jorrit nodded in agreement, "Let's take a closer look."Nl: De zon stond hoog aan de hemel terwijl ze verschillende tests deden.En: The sun was high in the sky as they conducted various tests.Nl: Anouk nam monsters van de grond en de gebogen tulpen.En: Anouk took samples of the soil and the bent tulips.Nl: "Er is iets ongewoons hier," zei ze, terwijl ze nadenkend een monster in haar tas stopte.En: "There's something unusual here," she said, thoughtfully placing a sample in her bag.Nl:

Kiera has talked to a ton of doctors to come up with tips for how to fill that CEO time that so often feels fathomless. The ideas include blocking out your schedule to understand your frequency, committing to "deep work" time, optimizing whatever you can, and more. 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 today is a fun rift of a CEO, giving some CEO tips. And I was just on a birthday trip. You guys, had a birthday and it was so fun. And my husband and went off to Austria and Amsterdam. ⁓ We have traveled a lot. If you guys have been a podcast listener, you know I'm obsessed with traveling. so because we've traveled so much, we're kind of on to off the beaten path locations and.   This year I was like, Hey, I've never seen the Tulip festival in Amsterdam. Like let's head on over there for that. And so when we were there, some of these ideas came to me and I realized this would be, again, I love some white, white noise space guys. If you are an owner of a business and you have not booked yourself one trip that you are off the grid completely. when I talk my, so it was my birthday when I was gone and ⁓ luckily I have some like great friends in my life that texted me. My phone is off off.   Like I kid you not, is on airplane mode. I don't even put it on wifi. Like I don't text people. Jason has his phone and I will say it's the greatest gift I give myself. And one of my friends did not know this quite as well with me. And she was like, Hey, said my other friend, like I texted care like two days ago and I haven't heard from her. She's like, ⁓ when care travels, she is like dead off the grid. Like you will not get in touch with her. If something happens, even if her house is on fire, like she'll deal with it when she gets home, like genuinely she's off the grid. She needs to have that, like just shut off downtime.   And I will say for any of you, and I told an office to do this a while ago and they came back from their trip and they were like, Kiera, that was the best gift and we're going to do that now forever. And so for you, that would be my like birthday gift to all of you to do for yourselves is take a week, completely shut off. No Slack, no emails, no text messages, ⁓ completely turn your phone off if you can. Tell your family where you're at, like have it to where someone can be reachable if necessary. But I will tell you, I sleep better.   than I ever do. ⁓ I come back refreshed. My team all tells me like I am such a happier boss when I come back. I feel like my relationship with my husband is so much stronger because I feel like he gets his wife back. I feel like I come back. I was in the Tulip Festival. There's videos that I have not posted. They're just for Kiera. I feel like literally skipping like a little girl through these Tulip Festivals. I feel I go back to the true core of who Kiera is. I don't need to be a boss. I don't need to be a CEO. I don't need to be a consultant.   I am able to be like free bird Kiera out there. Jason even calls me bird when we travel and it's just a space. So there's a little tip for you that I hope you listen to and I hope you take and hey, if you do it, send me a message and let me know how it went for you. I will also fair warn that sometimes what I call it is it's the adrenaline. What would it be? It's like coming off of the adrenaline. So that drop.   Sometimes I get angry. So fair warning that that does is the dopamine drop if you will and I felt like I have had like three days where I'm just sheer angry and I'm like what is going on? I'm on vacation. I'm in this beautiful place and I'm just mad but it's because you go from being so high tilt throttle to nothing that your nervous system does kind of have this like whiplash. So I have found that some ways to ease into that is one knowing that two I tried to hit the gym like three or four times when I'm over there because that allows like   a lot of that energy to just get expelled rather than going from like high level to nothing. And then I've also found that like reading books, so something for my mind, I usually try to do fiction books. So it's not like obsessive learning, ⁓ but just taking my mind into a different space. Some of those can be a tip for you. again, hopefully some of those help. But ⁓ today I wanted to go through like, how do I actually block and use my CEO time? Because I think that this is a zone that a lot of people want to do as owner doctors and, but they're like, I just don't know what to do during CEO time. So I wanted to   just share with you what I personally do in the company, how I block it, what I have, and then also letting you guys know that we actually have a forum and I'm happy to share it with any of you. can reach out, email us, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com, but like what do I actually do during my admin time checklist? This has been built with lots of different doctors input and also what I personally do.   So for me, I do have a personal assistant and I have an executive assistant. So first step is if you don't have either of those, and I know I talked to a lot of dentists and they get weird about it they don't want to have an executive assistant or a personal assistant, but I will say hands down, this is something absolutely that's tactical that you should do. I have my personal assistant actually watch my schedule and then her job is to go through and to refine my schedule. And she does an amazing job. She's like, hey, Kiera, you're running back to back to back all these meetings. You need to move into some different places. Like these are some things that I think you need to do.   We actually have an Excel spreadsheet. just so you know, I do have an Excel spreadsheet. I'm looking at it right now as I'm podcasting for you. And I look in there and I put in and I have on my like on the right hand side, I have my scheduling needs, what my frequency is. Like we've got podcasting in there. I've got certain coaches that I need to get into. I've got my workout time in there. I've got like my C-suite meeting with the COO and the CRO and our lead consultant and ⁓ Britt and my EAPA meetings and the bookkeepers and our fractional CFO.   I have all those meetings that I need to be hitting. And so we look to see where are those at, where are the meetings that I need to have, but non-negotiable for me is my deep work time. So that's my CEO time. That's my deep work time. I have to have on busy weeks, non-negotiable, I need a two hour block. Like that is a non-negotiable for me, must, must. And it's during the day. I don't do it on my Fridays or my day off. I don't enjoy that for me. I get really actually annoyed to do it on those days. So mine gets blocked during my time.   For dentists, I recommend you do it during your time. ⁓ Working hours, I recommend that you block it in there because if you're producing, let's say $1,000 an hour, you've got to be doing at least $2,000 worth of value during that time. again, when you're giving that up, you tend to be a lot more productive. for me, my first week is very busy. I, first week in the company is something that is none of our favorites. Like we love it.   But it's hard, it's heavy. We have our doctor mastermind that we do. I usually do podcasting on the first week. I'm meeting with a lot of my direct reports. It's a heavy week for me, but we still have my non-negotiables. And so I just look at my timing and I know Monday's a full meeting day, Tuesday's a coaching call podcasting day, Wednesday I'm meeting with the COO, CRO, CFO. I have all those meetings to make sure that they can move on their items from Monday. That for me, it's a pretty heavy day.   And then I've just got a lighter afternoon on Wednesdays to just catch up on projects. Thursdays where I'm, and for me, I also have to know where is my ideal time. So when you're blocking your CEO time, you need to know where are you the most optimal? For me, I'm always the best in the morning. Like seven, 738, like right there is where I'm gonna start like cranking and I'm gonna just go solid for about two hours till 10. My worst time in the entire day is three o'clock. Like I am dead and usually around 11, I start to like.   zone out and I'm not as productive. So I've just had to try that. That's a trial and error. Test yourself. See, do you like the mornings? Do like the afternoons? Do like the end of day? Like where are you? Brittany's zone, she's a night owl. That girl, she starts to get her prime optimization on it like three, four, five o'clock at night. Like that is when that girl, she starts to churn and she puts out her best work and we both know that. I'm like, amazing. We work on very polar opposite different ones. So like she needs to put her deep works over your OMS, finding out as well for them. But for me,   Mine is Thursday mornings is where I put that deep work. Then what I prefer to do is on my weeks where I'm not as busy. So I do coaching calls every other week. On my non coaching call weeks, I have two hours on Tuesday, two hours on Thursday. So I'm blocking four hours for myself. So your personal assistant, your executive assistant, they should be blocking this. And to me, this is a like, you do not like, you know, like a stove is hot. Like we don't touch that. You never touch my deep work blocks like ever. Don't ask me to schedule there. Don't ask me to put a meeting there.   Do not ask me to disrupt that time. And I am so strict on my deep work time that people know like, we don't touch that with a 10 foot pole. And your team needs to know that. Doctors, also recommend a lot of times, especially if you do it in the morning or the afternoon, go to the library somewhere where people aren't going to find you. Go to a coffee shop where you can like headphones in zone out. But I found when a lot of times my doctors are trying to do CEO time and they're at an office, their door is being knocked on.   If you want to be in the office, you need a sign on your door, and I've done this for several doctors, where it says CEO time, do not message or do not enter. And it needs to be like, if someone knocks, because they always do that knock like, hey, sorry, doc, it's just real quick. Do not for one second respond, because your team needs to learn that you're dead set on this. Like, this is your only time, you guys, that you get to work on the business. The only time.   Otherwise, what happens is you become the CEO that never sleeps because your CEO time is in the middle of the night. It's early, early in the morning. It's late at night because you never have time for your brain to actually fix these problems. And so your brain just churns on all this. Like I need to check the books. I need to check this. I need to have that. So what you do is when you're exhausted, you try to like get all these things done rather than having set times. You can also build in your schedule. Like there's a set time for paying the bills. If you're doing that. I know I've got some doctor doing that.   I would hope that your OEM does that and you just have meetings where they report to you. But again, depending upon where you are on this journey, you really need to block it. Now, great, we figured out how you block it. Now what do you actually do during that time? So for me, big things I'm gonna be working on are usually for me big projects. So I have a lot of presenting, a lot of events, lot of like, right now I'm reworking our entire customer journey and that's a big project that needs to get done. I'm working with our CRO and like,   building out budgets and working models. And I need to review all of the projections she sent over to me. like, it's the, the projects that for me, like, there's a lot of things like approving payroll or stamping off on this budget that don't require a lot of time. But if my marketer, our CRO is sending over to me, like an entire proposal of their growth marketing plan, that's not something that I'm going to be doing in like a quick, like 15 minute block. Like I need set quiet, like   uninterrupted focus time is what that really is. So imagine like studying for a big test, like you guys like blocked everything out. That's what you work on here. So it'd be your overhead, your P &L, like going through your CPA reports for you. Looking to see credit card charges, like looking through the P &L, like what's a detailed report, what things are on there, are fees categorized correctly. You do this once a quarter, have your CPA send it over to you. You can do it once a month, but you look at that.   What about my cost per procedure? How much does it actually cost me to do every single procedure? And like, how could I reduce my overhead? Looking at my expenses, looking to see my tax estimated bill and have we saved enough for that? And do I have enough money set aside for that? You can go through that. We have an entire systems checklist. You can actually go through all the systems of the practice. I have it set up per month and this is a great time for you to actually review. All right, let's look to see how are our doctors being optimized? What trainings could I put into place? What things could we bring in the practice?   How could I maximize and optimize this? Could we do training with our team for this? What about areas for my like schedule? Like let's review the schedule. Am I the most optimized when I'm producing or is there a way that I could type my block schedule up and be stronger on it and produce more with minimal effort? Like to me, CEO time is where I'm squeezing the juice out of the lemon. Like where can I optimize this a little bit more? How could I optimize my hygiene department? Let me look, is there a way I could add curadont? Can I find a better way to teach my hygienist?   When was the last time we reviewed our periope protocol? Is that still what I want them doing? What could I do on like what would doctor do? And could I train at my hygienist to actually tee up treatment better for me? What if I want to bring on an associate, like let's go through an entire associate onboarding document, set it up. What's my training schedule with them? What are my case studies I'm going to put together with them? Do I have a doctor study club that I'm going to do? What about looking at our new patients? Let me review all of our marketing dollars. Where am I spending the marketing dollars? Are we answering the phone? What's our phone conversion rate?   Let me actually assess my entire front office. Like where are the areas that are keeping us so bottlenecked? And is there AI or different processes or different systems that we can put in place to make it better for them? Let me go through all of our treatment plans. What did I diagnose? What was scheduled and why? What things am I missing? And how could I tighten up my treatment planning process? How can I work with my treatment coordinator and what things do she or he and I need to work through so that way I can close more cases and help more patients? ⁓ Just looking through all these different things.   going and listening to treatment plan presentations of the team, listening to how my hygiene team's training up Floyd and Perio, looking, going and talking to my biller and saying, walk me through our AR. Like I want to see, let's call people together. Where are we at with the AR? How many patients are not called? Show me an EOB. I want to see how you're entering this. Teach me those ways. Are my percentages right where they need to be for collections? Let me make sure my bank statements match my collection statements. What about onboarding? I'm going to be hiring new people. Let me check that entire onboarding process. And is it set and is it ready to go?   Does each procedure have its own checklist, pictures, accountability? If not, can I build out a process and have my whole team take this on or can I delegate this to a team member? Let me look at my marketing. Let me look at like, what is the next, like what's my one, three, 10 year plan? Let me read traction and figure out how to run better meetings. Let me read the book, Designing Your Life. Like, that was a laundry list. That's what you work on during Deep Work CEO time. You read books.   You listen to podcasts, you think about the business, you have quiet white noise time, you build associate onboarding documents, you build better onboarding. And there's a fine line because I want you to know like some of those things should be done by your OM and other people that are not you. ⁓ Reviewing marketing plans, reviewing budgets, looking to see what people are doing. That is my time that I do need to dedicate talking to vendors, researching consultants, having meetings with consultants. Like that's during deep work time. Those are things that I can do during that time. But really it's my time to work.   on the business, work on the highest level things. And I hate when people are like work on the business. I'm like, what the heck does that mean? It means that you're physically like, okay, pretend the business. We're going to go buy it from someone else. What would we go in and do if we were doing our due diligence? We'd look at their treatment plan. We'd look at their new patients. We'd look at their marketing. We'd look at their PNL and their overhead. We'd look at their EBITDA. We'd look to see where we could squeeze juice before we bought the business. If that's like an easy way for you to think of like building and working on the business, it's one, if I were going and buying a business, I'm going to go work in like   optimize those things. The second side is like, where are we broken? Like what things are not working? I realized like, you guys, our consulting team has grown, our clients have grown. I'm so proud of the business that we've built. I also realized what we used to do versus what we need to do today, there's a gap. And so now this is a big project for me of like, okay, we got to figure out our marketing to our sales, to our client success, to our consultants, to our renewals, to our masterminds.   This whole little sprinkling journey has like eight different pieces to the customer journey. And I need to go refine and optimize every single one of those, have meetings with the core team members. I need to work through this. So I built a whole thing with ChatGPT. What do I want it to be? Then I scheduled the meetings with my team. Super freaking pumped. That's a huge, huge, huge business initiative. No one on my team is going to think of that. Like maybe they do.   But that's Kiera's job. That's a CEO's job. That's where I need to be putting my time, my effort, my energy. That's what drives your business. What's going to make your business? Like you can also do a SWOT analysis. Like what's my strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats. A lot of times I go back to my idea boards. I have a book that if you guys know, I've talked about on the freaking podcast and I'm just chicken guys. need, what is it called? Like when you write under a different name, that's what I need. I'm just scared of reviews of my writing.   So I'm like, I need a pen name. Like I just need to make up a name and publish the book. It's ready to go. It's been built. I need to get that done. But I spent a lot of my CEO time writing a book. You spend a lot of your CEO time looking to see if you want to expand your business. If you want to simplify your business, you want to optimize, this is what you do. So I wanted to just get on the podcast and help you see how do you do it? Which team members do I use for it? Where are mine blocked? And how do you set yours up? And I would say,   Today, listening to the podcast, my action items to you would be number one, I need you to find out where your prime optimize time to work is. Is it morning, afternoon or end of day? Then the next thing is I need you to block two hours minimum every single week. Then three, email me, talk to me, whatever you need to do, but I need you to build a CEO checklist and I need you to start working on those optimization pieces every single week consistently. And I need this to be like your bootcamp workout training where you commit to doing this for the next eight weeks and then we reassess.   Non-negotiable, not interrupted, not like, I don't feel like it today. It's a, have locked in for eight weeks. If you need an accountability partner, well, high five, I'm Kiera. This is what we do. This is why people hire us. It's because you usually know what you need to do. You just aren't willing to stay committed to doing it. Why am I paying my personal trainer so much for a photo shoot that we're doing? Because like yesterday I benched freaking Reese's. I was exhausted. I was tired. I haven't slept for days coming in off that trip. Jet lag's a beast. So that was a fun flip.   ⁓ exhausted, tired, not wanting to hit my workouts, not wanting to hit my macros. And she said, Hey, Kiera, you got three weeks left before your photo shoot. Here are the things you need to do when that happens. Like you're good. This is what happens in tomorrow. This is what I want you to do when you get that craving. Here's exactly what you're going to eat. I don't know. Even have to think today going into it. We're not going to binge on the Reese's eggs. Yes. Did I go buy like five packages post Easter because they're my favorite treat. And if you want to like schmooze me, send those to me. Absolutely.   But I needed somebody to hold me accountable to it. When the days are hard, when things you don't know what to do, when I'm, I told her, I was like, I don't know what to work on now. Like I'm having a hard time hitting my workout. She's like, all right, let's rework it. Let's figure it out. Sometimes having a coach that holds you accountable, that pushes you into this is one of the fastest, easiest ways to get more results with less effort. She holds me accountable to it. It's not hard. She's there in my corner when things fall apart. She's there in my corner when things are surviving. I talked to her, maybe.   30 minutes a week, if that. And it's usually like every other week, if that. It's usually a quick text of like, hey, I'm struggling here, I just need your help. Or, hey, I need you to hold me accountable this week to making sure I get my CEO time done. We as consultants are that way for dentists, because you don't usually need a whole new operating system, you just need someone to help you stay accountable to the things you know you need to do. So if we can help you with that, reach out, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. But today commit to having CEO time dedicated for you, for your business.   It's one of the greatest gifts I can give you. So yes, go on vacation, happy birthday to you when that happens or whenever you want it to be. And the second thing is have your dedicated deep work CEO time. Hopefully that gave you a nice laundry list of things to work on. What I do, the only other thing that I didn't share with you is throughout the week as things come up on me that I know I'm gonna need more brain power to do. I have my personal assistant. say, hey, pop this in on my deep work. My deep work block is set as a private thing so people can't see it.   So she goes in and puts all the things that I need to work on. So when I show up to deep work, I'm not spending thinking time of what do I need to work on? It is literally already there with all the links, all the pieces. And that's her job is to make sure when I walk into deep work time, it is exactly what I asked her to put in there. The things I want to work on, things she might see that I need to get answers to that are not like a simple answer. That's not taking my time. These are like heavy items. And her job is to make sure my deep work is always there. So if that helps you, who I use, who on my team,   Sometimes I feel like these are the little like peel back the curtains of what do other CEOs do? This is what our doctors do. This is how we share in the masterminds. Come in person, be with us, get around like-minded people. Your net worth isn't equal to your network. And I would say it might be time for you to upgrade and elevate. And I'd love you to be a part of ours. So reach out. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. And as always, thanks for listening. I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.

Send us Fan MailA church can be busy, informed, and publicly respected while quietly cooling toward Christ and that's the danger Revelation 2 puts in our faces. We talk through the letter to Ephesus and why Jesus' warning about “removing the lampstand” is best understood as losing a place of usefulness and witness, not losing salvation. It's the sobering picture of a starter getting benched: still on the team, but no longer on the field where it counts.From there, we dig into the Nicolaitans and what we can say with confidence from the text: corrupt teaching that loosens holiness and invites compromise. The challenge is learning to hate what Christ hates without turning our hearts hard. We explore why “loveless orthodoxy” is real, why the fix is not tolerating error, and how love and truth are meant to travel together in discipleship, church life, and confronting false doctrine.We also open the floor to a direct theological question that many believers wrestle with: Do we hold to TULIP? That leads us into limited atonement, the outward call versus the effectual call, and how passages like Romans 9 and the potter-and-clay imagery shape the conversation about God's sovereignty, human responsibility, and the character of God.If you care about biblical doctrine, Christian love, church health, and staying spiritually awake, this one is for you.

Fluent Fiction - Dutch: Tulip Fields of Decision: Anouk's Journey to Sweden Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/nl/episode/2026-06-05-07-38-19-nl Story Transcript:Nl: De lucht was helder blauw en een zachte bries bracht de geur van bloemen over de Keukenhof-tuinen.En: The sky was a clear blue, and a gentle breeze carried the scent of flowers across the Keukenhof gardens.Nl: Anouk liep langzaam met Bram aan haar zijde, haar gedachten in de war.En: Anouk walked slowly with Bram by her side, her thoughts in turmoil.Nl: De tulpen stonden in volle bloei, een tapijt van levendige kleuren die als golven over het landschap rolden.En: The tulips were in full bloom, a carpet of vibrant colors that rolled across the landscape like waves.Nl: Anouk glimlachte kort naar Bram, die opgewonden wees naar een veld met haar favoriete paarse tulpen.En: Anouk gave a brief smile to Bram, who pointed excitedly to a field of her favorite purple tulips.Nl: "Zie je dat, Anouk?"En: "Do you see that, Anouk?"Nl: riep Bram uit.En: Bram exclaimed.Nl: "Ze zijn mooier dan vorig jaar!"En: "They're more beautiful than last year!"Nl: Anouk knikte, maar haar gedachten dwaalden af naar iets anders: de mogelijke verhuizing naar Zweden voor die prestigieuze botanistenpositie.En: Anouk nodded, but her thoughts wandered to something else: the possible move to Sweden for that prestigious botanist position.Nl: "Het is echt prachtig hier," zei ze, zichzelf dwingend om te concentreren op het moment.En: "It's really beautiful here," she said, forcing herself to focus on the moment.Nl: Als botanist voelde ze zich altijd verbonden met de natuur.En: As a botanist, she always felt connected to nature.Nl: Maar nu voelde ze de last van haar keuze op haar schouders drukken.En: But now she felt the weight of her choice pressing on her shoulders.Nl: Zou ze haar huidige, vertrouwde leven met Bram opgeven voor de kans van haar leven?En: Would she give up her current, familiar life with Bram for the opportunity of a lifetime?Nl: "In welke wereld wil je leven?"En: "In which world do you want to live?"Nl: vroeg een bordje bij een veld.En: asked a sign by a field.Nl: Anouk bleef staan en keek naar de tulpen.En: Anouk stopped and looked at the tulips.Nl: Hun eenvoud en complexiteit weerspiegelden haar eigen innerlijke strijd.En: Their simplicity and complexity mirrored her own inner struggle.Nl: De kleuren leken haar vragen te stellen, hun stille schoonheid als een antwoord dat deep van binnen wachtte.En: The colors seemed to be asking her questions, their silent beauty an answer waiting deep inside.Nl: Bram merkte de aarzeling van Anouk op en legde een hand op haar schouder.En: Bram noticed Anouk's hesitation and placed a hand on her shoulder.Nl: "Wat zit er dwars, Anouk?"En: "What's troubling you, Anouk?"Nl: vroeg hij met zachte bezorgdheid.En: he asked with gentle concern.Nl: "Ik weet het niet," antwoordde ze eerlijk.En: "I don't know," she replied honestly.Nl: "Deze bloemen... ze herinneren me aan waarom ik dit vakgebied koos.En: "These flowers... they remind me why I chose this field.Nl: Maar dat werk in Zweden zal ons leven veranderen.En: But that job in Sweden will change our lives.Nl: Wat als ik je niet genoeg ruimte kan geven?En: What if I can't give you enough space?Nl: Of als het te zwaar blijkt?"En: Or if it turns out to be too difficult?"Nl: Bram keek haar direkt aan, zijn ogen vol begrip.En: Bram looked at her directly, his eyes full of understanding.Nl: "Anouk, als dit je droom is, dan moet je ervoor gaan.En: "Anouk, if this is your dream, then you must go for it.Nl: Alles valt op z'n plek.En: Everything will fall into place.Nl: We vinden wel een manier."En: We'll find a way."Nl: Op dat moment voelde Anouk een warme gloed over zich heen komen.En: At that moment, Anouk felt a warm glow come over her.Nl: De felgekleurde tulpen dansten in haar blikveld als een bemoedigend knikje van de natuur zelf.En: The brightly colored tulips danced in her field of vision, like an encouraging nod from nature itself.Nl: Ze wist dat ze haar hart moest volgen.En: She knew she had to follow her heart.Nl: "Je hebt gelijk," zei ze met hernieuwde energie.En: "You're right," she said with renewed energy.Nl: "Ik moet het proberen.En: "I have to try.Nl: Maar ik wil niet zonder jou."En: But I don't want to go without you."Nl: Bram lachte, drukte een kus op haar voorhoofd, en antwoordde: "Waar je ook gaat, ik volg je."En: Bram laughed, pressed a kiss on her forehead, and replied, "Wherever you go, I'll follow."Nl: De dag eindigde met het paar hand in hand, wandelend tussen de pastelkleurige bloemenvelden.En: The day ended with the couple hand in hand, walking among the pastel-colored flower fields.Nl: Anouk voelde dat ze een zware last van haar schouders had laten vallen.En: Anouk felt she had lifted a heavy burden from her shoulders.Nl: Haar besluit was genomen: ze zou naar Zweden gaan.En: Her decision was made: she would go to Sweden.Nl: Maar haar leven met Bram zou er niet onder lijden.En: But her life with Bram would not suffer.Nl: Een nieuwe reis begon, gesterkt door liefde en tulpen.En: A new journey began, strengthened by love and tulips.Nl: En zo omarmde Anouk de toekomst, met beide handen open en een heldere blik op wat komen gaat.En: And so Anouk embraced the future, with both hands open and a clear view of what was to come.

Pastor Arnold challenges the Calvinist doctrine of Limited Atonement. Drawing from Scripture, he argues that Christ died for all people, not only the "elect," and that Christ's atonement is unlimited in its provision, yet conditioned upon faith for its application. The presentation examines key biblical passages often used in debates over the extent of the atonement and contrasts Calvinist interpretations (TULIP) with a Free Grace perspective (LOTUS). Arnold contends that the doctrine of "Total Atonement" better reflects God's love, justice, and universal offer of salvation.

Oggi vi voglio parlare di arte e vedremo un artista, un pittore molto importante che ha segnato il passaggio dal mondo antico, medievale a quello moderno dell'umanesimo. Sto parlando di Giotto.Vedremo anche alcune delle sue opere più importanti. Giotto nasce a Colle di Vespignano, vicino a Firenze, in Toscana intorno al 1267 in una famiglia benestante. Della sua infanzia e della sua giovinezza non si sa molto, a parte che va a imparare nella bottega di un famoso pittore dell'epoca, Cimabue. Già da molto giovane dimostra un grande talento.Uno degli aneddoti di questo pittore racconta che avesse dipinto una mosca su una tavola, talmente bella, talmente reale che il suo maestro, Cimabue, aveva tentato di pulire la tavola per mandare via la mosca che aveva creduto essere una mosca vera.Cimabue aveva già notato la grande capacità del suo allievo nella pittura proprio mentre Giotto stava disegnando delle pecore su un sasso. Anche Cimabue aveva tentato di dipingere in modo diverso, di dipingere le figure non più in modo stilizzato, tipico del Medioevo, figure in stile bizantino, piene di ori, ma di raffigurare in modo più naturalistico. Cimabue non ci riesce, ma ci riesce lui, ci riesce Giotto....- The full transcript of this Episode (and excercises for many of the grammar episodes) is available via "Luisa's learn Italian Premium", Premium is no subscription and does not incur any recurring fees.

famous Keukenhof gardens.Nl: De lucht was fris en de geur van bloemen hing zwaar in de zachte bries.En: The air was fresh, and the scent of flowers hung heavily in the gentle breeze.Nl: Sander, een zorgvuldige kunstconservator, liep snel over de kronkelende paden.En: Sander, a meticulous art conservator, walked quickly along the winding paths.Nl: Het was een belangrijke dag.En: It was an important day.Nl: De kunsttentoonstelling stond op het punt te beginnen, maar er was een probleem dat volgens hem meteen moest worden opgelost: een schilderij ontbrak.En: The art exhibition was about to begin, but there was a problem that he felt needed to be solved immediately: a painting was missing.Nl: Sander hield van kunst en had oog voor detail.En: Sander loved art and had an eye for detail.Nl: Zijn liefde voor raadsels had hem geduwd om het mysterie op te lossen voordat de gasten arriveerden.En: His love for puzzles had pushed him to solve the mystery before the guests arrived.Nl: Zijn vreedzame dag in de tuinen werd vertroebeld door een kwellende vraag: Waar was het schilderij gebleven?En: His peaceful day in the gardens was clouded by a nagging question: Where had the painting gone?Nl: Marijke was de enige andere persoon met toegang tot de opslagruimte.En: Marijke was the only other person with access to the storage room.Nl: Ze was een vrije geest met een passie voor schilderen.En: She was a free spirit with a passion for painting.Nl: Haar werken sierden de tentoonstelling in de tuinen, maar ze had ook een verborgen talent voor kunstvervalsing.En: Her works adorned the exhibition in the gardens, but she also had a hidden talent for art forgery.Nl: Sander moest voorzichtig zijn.En: Sander had to be careful.Nl: Zou hij Marijke kunnen vertrouwen?En: Could he trust Marijke?Nl: Bij een bed van levendig rode tulpen ontmoette Sander Marijke.En: By a bed of vibrant red tulips, Sander met Marijke.Nl: "Ben je bekend met het ontbrekende schilderij?"En: "Are you aware of the missing painting?"Nl: vroeg hij met een zachte stem.En: he asked softly.Nl: Hij hoopte op aanwijzingen, zelfs toen wantrouwen in zijn gedachten dreigde op te borrelen.En: He hoped for clues, even as distrust threatened to bubble up in his mind.Nl: Marijke glimlachte mysterieus.En: Marijke smiled mysteriously.Nl: Ze zweeg en leek gefocust op haar penseelstreken, verloren in haar creaties.En: She remained silent and seemed focused on her brushstrokes, lost in her creations.Nl: Sander besloot eerlijk te zijn over zijn verdenkingen.En: Sander decided to be honest about his suspicions.Nl: "Ik moet het weten," zei hij zacht.En: "I must know," he said gently.Nl: "Help me alstublieft."En: "Please help me."Nl: Terwijl de middagzon de tuinen verwarmde, ontdekte Sander iets verbazingwekkends.En: As the afternoon sun warmed the gardens, Sander discovered something astonishing.Nl: Ver weg van de drukte, tussen de stille bloembedden, vond hij Marijke bezig met het maken van een vervalsing.En: Far from the hustle and bustle, among the quiet flower beds, he found Marijke busy creating a forgery.Nl: De vervalsing leek precies op het ontbrekende schilderij.En: The forgery looked exactly like the missing painting.Nl: Zijn hart sloeg over terwijl een mix van opluchting en verontwaardiging door hem heen gingen.En: His heart skipped a beat while a mix of relief and indignation coursed through him.Nl: "Waarom, Marijke?"En: "Why, Marijke?"Nl: vroeg hij uiteindelijk, zijn stem trillend van emotie.En: he finally asked, his voice trembling with emotion.Nl: "Heb je het geschilderd?"En: "Did you paint it?"Nl: Marijke zuchtte en keek op, haar ogen vol eerlijkheid.En: Marijke sighed and looked up, her eyes full of honesty.Nl: "Ik wilde het origineel beschermen," bekende ze.En: "I wanted to protect the original," she confessed.Nl: "Er was een dreiging.En: "There was a threat.Nl: Iemand wilde het stelen.En: Someone wanted to steal it.Nl: Dit was de enige manier om het veilig te houden."En: This was the only way to keep it safe."Nl: De waarheid bracht rust in Sander's hart.En: The truth brought peace to Sander's heart.Nl: Hij begreep nu.En: He understood now.Nl: Soms doen mensen ongewone dingen om te beschermen wat ze liefhebben.En: Sometimes people do unusual things to protect what they love.Nl: En soms moet je vertrouwen hebben in mensen, zelfs als twijfels je pad dreigen te verstoren.En: And sometimes, you have to trust people, even when doubts threaten to block your path.Nl: Met een nieuw begrip en een licht gemoed gingen Sander en Marijke samen naar de tentoonstelling.En: With newfound understanding and a light heart, Sander and Marijke went to the exhibition together.Nl: De Keukenhof-tuinen bloeiden verder, een stille getuige van het verhulde mysterie dat zich zojuist had ontvouwd.En: The Keukenhof gardens continued to bloom, a silent witness to the concealed mystery that had just unfolded.Nl: En zo kreeg de tentoonstelling een ander soort schoonheid: die van waarheid en toewijding, verbergt onder lagen van kleurige tulpen en kunst.En: And thus, the exhibition gained another kind of beauty: that of truth and dedication, hidden under layers of colorful tulips and art.

Susan Weiss speaks about Hello Susan and Black Tulip at the 2026 Chico Reviewhttps://www.susanweissart.com/portfolio-3https://www.instagram.com/susanweissart/Susan Weiss works in the visual arts in many mediums, including photography, film, painting and drawing. Her work explores the issues of personal identity and the psycho-social landscape. She also teaches drawing and student artist portfolio preparation both live and in zoom consultation.Susan's projects include the ongoing series Humanity in the Modern World, documenting humanitarian work in other countries, most recently the immigration story at the El Paso/Ciudad Juarez border with a Washington D.C, based NGO. Her short documentary films explore the experiences of womanhood,  have played on the festival circuit and won many awards. THE ORCHARD, seasonal photographs of a Vermont apple orchard, tell the story of hope and faith during the years of the pandemic.Susan photographs with both digital and film cameras depending on the project, including Mamiya 7II, Leica M9P and Leica M10, Polaroid SX70 and 680,  Iphone 17 Pro Max, and plastic toy cameras. “Exploring and photographing the human condition is the major theme in my work. I attempt to connect with people and photograph their lives to document what makes them unique as individuals. The stories are personal but they become my stories as I photograph and interpret through the lens of my camera, and their lives become my art. It is this attraction to lives that are unique and with a sense of vulnerability that drives my work.”This podcast is sponsored by the Charcoal Book Club - Begin Building your dream photobook library today at:https://charcoalbookclub.com

I'm in Europe for the next three weeks, mixing a little vacation time with some true crime. I'm recording parts of this episode in Amsterdam and Cologne, near the place where Peter Kürten was raised, and I'll also spend two days in Düsseldorf walking the crime scenes tied to one of Germany's most infamous killers. I'll start in Amsterdam, a city with more than enough crime, vice and history for a full episode, but after recent King's Day violence, including a reported shooting in Amsterdam-West and a stabbing near the Kingsland festival at Olympic Stadium, I wanted to step away from the darkness for a moment and find some balance. So I made a quick stop at Keukenhof Gardens, and I'll share a couple of shots from there before heading to Düsseldorf, Germany, the site of one of the most notorious serial killers in history, the Düsseldorf Vampire, Peter Kürten.#ProfilingEvil #MappingEvil #PeterKurten #VampireOfDusseldorf #Dusseldorf #Cologne #Amsterdam #Keukenhof #MoylandCastle #TrueCrime #SerialKiller #CrimeHistory #CriminalBehavior #Victimology #HauntedDusseldorf #JoshSimkins #GermanyTrueCrime #EuropeanTrueCrime #TravelTrueCrime #CrimeAndTravel #InvestigativeAnalysis #ColdCase #BehavioralAnalysis========================================CrimeCon Discount Code: https://crimecon.regfox.com/cctw3ntys1x (In Voucher/Coupon area, enter: PROFILINGEVIL========================================https://gamutpodcasts.com/show/gardensofevilinsidethezionsocietycult/========================================20% OFF Newspapers.comhttps://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================
