This in-depth conversation with Tristan Scott discusses how light affects our mitochondria and hormones and the importance of limiting blue light for radical health. Ever wondered why your sleep feels off after a long day under harsh digital lights or how a simple incandescent bulb might actually nourish your biology?In this video, I dive headfirst into what our modern light environment—think flickering LEDs, blue light dominance, and missing infrared—really does to our circadian rhythms, energy, and even our mitochondrial health. I share some eye-opening experiments that compare the spectrum of artificial indoor lighting with the natural balance of sunlight and fire, and I explain how small tweaks (from switching out bulbs to rethinking our screen habits) could transform the way we live.--- --- ---00:00 - Introduction02:05 - Melatonin's Shocking Secret05:55 - Morning Sun Myth BUSTED07:23 - STOP Buying Red Lights?!10:18 - Is Blue Light More Damaging Than UV?13:15 - Office Lighting = 30 Minutes of Direct Sunlight27:17 - The Antioxidant Hack You Need NOW30:15 - Your Office is Ruining Your Health32:33 - Is Your Lighting Making You Sick?37:50 - Why Incandescent Bulbs Are Now Contraband47:50 - Ditch the Antioxidant Pills50:03 - Sunlight Vs Fire55:51 - Raw Milk & Incandescent Light Bulbs58:57 - Artificial vs. Natural Light1:07:35 - Are you ready to take on a healthy consumption?1:13:13 - Are “Sad Lamps” Actually Dangerous?1:17:17 - How Cellular Energy Impacts All Health1:20:04 - Are Sunglasses "Bullshit"?1:27:17 - We are electromagnetic beings1:33:06 - Why are there a disproportionate number of children with autism?1:37:17 - The Make America Healthy Movement1:40:45 - How To Protect Yourself From WiFi1:55:51 - Is Your Bedroom A "Silent Killer?"2:06:54 - How to make children healthy2:10:45 - What To Think If the Researchers Are Wrong2:22:35 - Melanoma Exposed2:28:21 - Is Red Light the Solution to Skin Cancer2:31:11 - The Best Tips for a Quiet Night2:38:16 - Is a Vegan Diet Really the Key to Health?--- --- ---DISCLAIMERDr. Paul Saladino received his medical degree from the University of Arizona Medical School.

When's the last time your beliefs about another generation were challenged?  Mine were recently, after interviewing a couple, whose life's work is to teach and enable “generational reconciliation” in the workplace.  What on earth is generational reconciliation?  It's helping us, and each generation to understand the other generation, to know the truth about what they believe and to know the best attributes of each, so they can be appreciated and leveraged. What has it got to do with faith and work? Apparently, a great deal. In the next two years, Millennials will make up 50% of the workplace. Ifyou own a business or manage anyone from this generation, your knowledge of them will be a huge predictor of “meeting with ETERNAL and EARTHLY success”. How will YOU seek generational reconciliation in YOUR OFFICE this week?

Now, as discussions surrounding mental wellness continue to gain momentum, particularly with Gen Z placing it at the forefront, the need to address these issues within your team is vital.

You are eligible to register for our live event as well, and as a bonus, you will be included in the monthly VIP calls when you join now. Is your home organized? Do you love coming home and being in your home? In this episode, I share my insights about home organization. I share my definition of being "organized," what area of my home is a complete pile of clutter, and what I think about maintaining organization. As a Professional Organizer for over 15 years, I have been in hundreds of people's homes. I've seen it all. When I'm in a home with abundant stuff, I am overwhelmed. I could not get or stay organized with so much stuff. You have to start by reducing the amount of stuff. There are three ways to reduce what comes into your home by becoming aware of your Buying habits,  Paper habits, and Collection habits. Your current home, cabinets, drawers, and closets are the "containers" you must work with. When reducing your things to fit in your "container," start by choosing your favorites—the things you love and use often. Then you can move to the remaining items. This helps make decision-making easier.  Our 3-fold approach this year in Organized Life Academy includes a monthly decluttering focus, a mindset focus to help you create an organized person's identity, and quarterly projects.  Listen to the episode to learn more. If you are ready to make organizing your home and life fun and don't want to try to figure it out alone, join us now in Organized Life Academy.

When the conversation pivoted to mental health, I was eager to learn more.Prior to her role at WebMD, Andrea was the Vice President, Human Resources at the Oregon Humane Society. Clearly drawn to organizations making a bigger impact in society, I was curious where that inspiration came from. And how it has informed her professional practice. It was a really fun conversation.

‍In this episode, Jasmine Smith, from Versa Solutions, breaks down 5 actionable tips that we can use to ensure a smooth insurance relationship.‍Get Credentialed - Yes, credentialing can be tricky, and it may be temping to bill under your name instead of the associate performing the treatment, but don't do it! This results in a messy claim and can be a red flag for future audits.‍Sign up for EFTs - Electronic Funds Transfer methods allow payments to be easily processed and can eliminate the travel time and restrictions of physical delivery.‍Verify Benefit Eligibility - Always double check a patient's benefit eligibility. Even though they might say they are covered, making sure can avoid future disappointment.‍Document Everything - The more documentation on procedures the better! Always keep good notes to avoid claim denial.‍Review AR Weekly - Be sure to review your Accounts Receivable balance at least once per week. If this is close to zero, meaning no money is owed, your account is in a good place!‍You can reach out to Jasmine Smith here:Versa Solutions WebsiteFacebookLinkedinTwitterInstagram: @versasolutionsinc‍Other Mentions and Links:CAQH Credentialing Service (ADA)Practice by NumbersWeaveDental Intel‍‍If you want your questions answered on Monday Morning Marketing, ask me on these platforms:My Newsletter: https://thedentalmarketer.lpages.co/newsletter/The Dental Marketer Society Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2031814726927041‍Our Sponsors & Their Exclusive Deals:CARESTACK | Cloud-Based Dental SoftwareSCHEDULE A FREE DEMO TODAY!Click the link below and get 1 MONTH FOR FREE + 10% OFF your Annual Subscription + 50% OFF Your Set-up Fee!Check out CARESTACK now: https://lp.carestack.org/thedentalmarketer‍‍‍Dandy | The Fully Digital, US-based Dental Lab‍For a completely FREE 3Shape Trios 3 scanner & $250 in lab credit click here: meetdandy.com/tdm !‍Thank you for supporting the podcast by checking out our sponsors!‍Episode Transcript (Auto-Generated - Please Excuse Errors)‍Michael: Hey Jasmine, so talk to us about medical and dental billing. How can we utilize this, or what advice or suggestions can you give us that will help us with doing medical and dental billing? Jasmine: Right. So Michael, my experience as a, billing company owner, uh, involves mostly helping practice owners get to the bottom of their slow insurance and patient collections, and not only implement systems, um, to help achieve faster cash flow, but actually keep those systems running smoothly for them.So, We put the work in and do all of the work, . So, um, we help all kinds of specialties, practice management softwares, practice types, whether they're fee for service, p o, Medicaid. So we've seen it all, done it all. but the common denominator I noticed between all of these practices, it's staffing issues.It seems like everybody's having an issue with that right now. Mm-hmm. . So you can't keep your biller who or your office manager who's gonna make sure your claims go out, who's collecting from the patients. Who's sending statements and making follow up calls to the patients about their bills. Um, 1, 2, 3 years go by and you realize you've only gotten paid six to 7 cents of the dollar that you've actually worked for.So the other side of the staffing issues is, um, hiring someone who has good intentions, and they believe they know the ins and outs of dental billing, but they really don't, and they can create some costly mistakes for their practice. So, If as the practice owner, you're not auditing the work, things can pile up really quickly.So we've seen that happen as well. But I'm here because I wanna share five tips that every practice owner should implement that I wish everybody knew about. So the first one is get credentialed. I heard on one of your other podcasts of someone, um, really going into this point, going into depth.That was great. Don't go off and hire an associate. Allow them to treat patients in your office and then bill under your name as the treating dentist. That's not a clean claim. That's an easy way to flag an audit with the insurance company because, um, if you're attaching your narrative for, you know, a procedure whose name is at the bottom, whose name is signed at the bottom of that narrative.So, um, and if you accidentally. A batch of claims with, you know, your associate on them and you get it back and it's out of network or, you know, um, there's a denial. Then you wanna send a batch of, corrected claims with your name on it. That may cause suspicion as well. the a d a has a pre credentialing service, C A Q H, so that's a great, um, tool to use to get credentialed applications.Second one is sign up for as many EFTs as possible. We've seen a claim go out same day as the date of service, and then you get paid the very next day. We've seen these bank accounts get funded the very next day after you see the patient. So that's very, very quick. Um, a lot of the insurance companies are getting crafty with insurance, credit card payments or v c virtual credit card.Um, that's when they send you like, Hey, here's a credit card. You can process your credit card machine, for payment for this, you know, procedure. Um, but you actually. , charged a lot of fees with your merchant service. Mm-hmm. , if you do a annual, you know, credit card mm-hmm. , transaction, so there's no charge to receive EFTs from an insurance carrier.Um, and then, you know, when disaster strikes in an area which we've seen, there's been hurricanes lately. Um, the mail stops, that's tens of thousands of dollars that's waiting To get to you. So, you know, imagine if you just had that direct deposit and you can access it immediately and do what you need to do.Also, the paperwork of getting paper claims and checks all the time. It's just a bummer, . So, uh, my third tip. Is to verify. Uh, when a patient comes in and hands you an insurance card, you really need to verify the eligibility and benefits. You can't just take their word for it, that they have coverage and everything's covered. don't bill blindly don't update the benefits in the system by blindly, uh, yeah, it's the patient's job to know their benefits, but I assure you less than 10%, maybe even 5% of people actually know their benefits. , they're still gonna be upset when they have to pay that 25 dollar deductible that you didn't tell them about.So just find out beforehand. What their insurance is all about, who you're billing, even before they're seen. And if you can't do that, if you just have no time, outsource it. There's many companies that do this. Um, and my fourth tip is documentation. I also heard another one of your podcasts or someone really, um, honed in on this point.not only do x-ray. Need to justify a procedure being completed, but the clinical narrative needs to paint the picture as well. So, for example, we usually see the most denials with crowns and buildups. then we see the narrative template and we're like, oh, that's why , because the insurance carriers want to see whether it's an initial. Or replacement with the prior placement date? Was it a fracture? They need the location of the fracture. I've seen sometimes they were asking for the length and depth of the fracture. was it a fail amalgam restoration, recurrent decay? How much of the tooth had decayed before removal? How much of the tooth was remaining before the buildup?Just so much needs to be in the narrative for processing, and that will make sure that you. Your payment quicker, and if you have a denial, it would be far and few in between. And then my fifth point is with patient billing. Um, we offer a service for patient billing with our company. So we've seen it all in this area as well.Um, at the very least, you should review your new accounts on your AR on a weekly basis. So these are. Accounts, ideally that you know insurance has paid, um, and you need to review the ending balance. Every pr uh, practice management software really has a easy way for you to check this. and then you can send your statements out immediately after you re you reviewed the account.what we do is make notes on the account, just showing us where the balance is coming from. And when the patient does call, we can just locate our note and explain where the balance is coming from really easily and quickly. Um, and then when you make a rule, stick with it. Like, if you deem contacting the patients three times is enough, maybe statement, call statement, write the balance off or send them to collections.Don't let the balance linger. That's how your ar will increase over time. So just take action, you know, make some rules, set a system up with your staff and, um, your AR would, you know, look pretty clean. If your patients overpay you, this is the other hand of it, pay them back. Um, keep your AR as close to zero as possible.So not too many credits, not too many debits. Let's just, you know, keep it close to zero, which is what we try to do with our company as. Michael: nice, Jasmine, I appreciate that. Out of these five, I, I kind of wanna rewind a little bit. When you mentioned, um, the number two sign up for as many EFTs you said Yeah.As possible. Okay. Can that ever backfire or no? Jasmine: Um, I've not seen it backfire. Only when there is a recoupment that needs to happen. you know, patient. Plan actually terminated, but the insurance paid the office, they'll just take it out of the next payment. So you really have no control over that.Usually if you get paper checks, they'll ask for the money back in another check. So you really have no control over that. But you know, they'll take it out of something anyway, . Gotcha. Michael: Okay. Do you guys do medical billing too? Jasmine: Um, we send medical claims for some of our oral surgery offices, when needed, but we don't really dive into the medical billing part of it with the coding and I c D 10.Michael: Gotcha, gotcha. So then where do you see out of these five tips, like people mainly have the Jasmine: most hiccup. most hiccups is probably the verification. Um, there are so many claims that go denied or rejected because the verification wasn't done in the beginning. probably second one would be the credentialingMm-hmm. , um, hiring an associate and not putting them on the claim. It's just kind of, I see that a lot. I know it's a headache trying to credential all of your new, employees, especially if, um, you're going out of network anyway. but it's just good to put them on the claim form. And then documentation would probably be number three.why Michael: documentation, like what is not Jasmine: enough detail or not enough detail? Um, some doctors have their assistance right in the details of the narratives, and maybe they're not just, they're not trained enough or not enough was communicated with them. Um, but yeah, I, I would recommend, you know, at the end of the day, just review all of your notes.Make sure. It's completely, filled out to the brim . Yeah. Too much information is good. Um, especially when trying to get these claims paid the first time. You don't wanna have it denied and come back and wait another 30 days for that to process. So. . Michael: Yeah. Because I feel like that can be a headache, especially when you get a lot of denied claims.I mean, you're on the phone, you're at the front office, you're getting another denied claim. You know, you're, you're dealing with that and people are coming in calling and all these things. Right? So it can be tough. I like what you mentioned when you said make a rule, stick with it to you.From the many practices that work with you guys, what have you seen to be like a really fantastic role when it comes to this? Jasmine: So we, uh, contact patients six times, right? So that's our role as our billing company. If we contact the patients, we we're probably sending three statements, making three follow-up phone calls.that's our role. We stick with it. The offices tend to agree that yeah, that's a good amount of times to contact a patient about their bill. If they're not paying by then, then you know, how many other times do it. So, That's the rule, and that's good. It, when we're done with it, we exhaust all attempts.Patient either gets sent to collections or if the balance is too low, it's written off. Lots of notes are written on the, um, on the account. Popup notes are created, so before the office or the patient even comes in, they have to pay the bill. So it's smooth. It, it works. . I think that's a, that's a good rule.Sometimes they're like, did we contact them enough? I mean, we sent one statement. We, we called them, they said they'd pay it, but they never did call four more times. . Mm-hmm. . That's the rule. And then if they don't, then send it to collection. So, yeah. The amount of times of contacting a patient I think is a good rule to.Michael: Do you ever recommend like texting or emailing them or Jasmine: no? Yes. Um, now, in this day and age, take advantage of as many resources as you can. A lot of dentists have, dental intel. They have a payments feature. Practice by numbers also has a great payments feature. Um, I know we use our offices, if they have Weave, we'll use that on behalf of their office to text, you know, um, the patients and send 'em their bills.So, take advantage of, of that mailing statements is, gonna be a thing of the past Michael: now. Yeah. So then would you recommend, is that part of the six? So like, would it be like, . Then number two would be like text and th like that, or, Jasmine: yeah, yeah. Usually you can send an email and a text at the same time.That'll count as one contact, and then we'll follow up with a phone call and then send another email, text, um, we call, because we wanna make sure they're actually receiving their invoices. and if that method isn't working, we change it up, you know, especially if the patient's older, they probably need a mailed statement, so we'll, we'll change it up for them and send 'em a mailed state.Michael: Okay. Awesome. Any final piece of advice you wanna give to our listeners about medical and dental billing? Jasmine: stick with the pros. If you can't, um, do it or you feel overwhelmed with it, with your office, you don't have to worry. You know, you can outsource it. It's often cheaper than hiring a billing coordinator for your practice, um, or care than, you know, training someone to, um, do everything correctly.Hire, outsource it. If you can't, like I did, like I said with the verifications, we don't do verifications, but a lot of our offices outsource that and they see much more collections in a lower AR because of it. so yeah, don't be afraid to ask for help . Michael: Awesome, Jasmine, I appreciate your time and if anyone has further questions, you can definitely find her in the Dental Marketer Society Facebook or where can they reach Jasmine: out to you?Um, our website is www.versussolutionsinc.com. Uh, also on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, , everything there. So, um, yeah, feel free to reach out. We're everywhere. Michael: All right. That's gonna be in the show notes below.

Bienvenida, bienvenido de nuevo al podcast. En el episodio de hoy traigo un formato distinto y especial, ya que se trata de la primera entrevista que realizo a una superviviente de una situación de mobbing protagonizada por lo que podríamos llamar como psicópata integrado, una modalidad de psicopatía menos popular y más fácilmente camuflable, pero que en la realidad constituye el gran grueso de personas con psicopatía que podemos encontrar en sociedad. Especialmente cuando hablamos de entornos laborales. En primer lugar realizo una exposición más bien de tipo teórico sobre la psicopatía, centrada también en el entorno laboral, que está basada en un resumen del libro “Snakes in Suits”, de Paul Babiak y Robert D.Hare, quienes son considerados expertos destacados en el mundo de la psicopatía.

Should Therapists Correct Clients? Curt and Katie chat about whether therapists should correct clients who use offensive language. We look at what we should consider when addressing what clients say (including treatment goals and the relationship), how therapists can take care of themselves to be able to treat clients who hold a different worldview, and how (and when) therapists can address problematic language appropriately. Transcripts for this episode will be available at mtsgpodcast.com! In this podcast episode we talk about whether therapists should call out their clients on words they find inappropriate We decided to address the language that clients use in session and what to do when we find the language offensive or harmful. Should therapists correct clients when they use language we find offensive or harmful? Blank slate or “join your clients” approaches Whether the language should be addressed when it doesn't align with a client's stated treatment goals Showing up as a human and addressing the therapeutic relationship Judgment or shaming that can happen with clients What should therapists consider when addressing what clients say? The relationship between the therapist and client Relevance to clinical goals The impact on trust in the therapeutic alliance The importance of using the client's language to affirm their experience The power differential between therapist and client How can therapists show up with clients who see the world differently than they do? Addressing objectification of therapist's identities Assessing when therapists are centering their own experience versus responding to what is in the room Using the relationship to process client's perspective “I feel like just living in the client's world without honoring my own experience at all doesn't feel quite right. But centering my experience feels wrong.” – Katie Vernoy What can therapists do to appropriately address problematic language with their clients? Process what is being said before correcting specific words Address within the relationship and within the treatment goals Using our own coping skills to be able to navigate what our clients bring to session “I'm very worried that therapists don't have enough of their own coping skills to deal with these things coming up in sessions. Where they feel that they have to shut these clients down for the protection of themselves. You know, their only coping mechanism seems to be – I need to escape working with clients that don't already agree with my worldview.” – Curt Widhalm Where social justice plays a role (and maybe shouldn't) Education and supporting the client's whole development Assessing the impact of these interventions (both positive and negative) Assessing the harm in not pointing out bias or harmful language   Our Generous Sponsors for this episode of the Modern Therapist's Survival Guide: Turning Point Financial Life Planning Turning Point Financial Life Planning helps therapists stop worrying about money.

In this episode, Ashley and Andrea explain which feelings and actions may indicate that a change in how you do your work would benefit your mental health and increase your productivity. They spell out exactly who qualifies for reasonable accommodations and give several examples of specific workplace adjustments that benefit people managing a mental health disorder. To wrap up Part I, they discuss using the interactive process to find a solution acceptable to the employee and business. While you may not know the phrases "interactive process" or "reasonable accommodations" you've seen them in action. The most common way this appears at work is when someone takes a leave of absence to have surgery and comes back on "light duty" or with restrictions for a few weeks. Prior to the surgery, the employee discusses the need for time off with their manager (Interactive Process) and addresses any changes to how they will perform job tasks upon return (Reasonable Accommodations). The same process applies to employees seeking accommodations due to mental impairment. In Part II, Ashley and Andrea describe the steps involved in acquiring and implementing an accommodation at work. *Spoiler alert* in order to receive a reasonable accommodation under the ADA, you must disclose your disability. This topic is huge and heavily regulated.

Ashley and Andrea welcome special guest, Audrey O. Newsome, to the show. Audrey spent 30 years working for the Department of Veteran's Affairs - first as a social worker, then an EAP counselor, and finally in the Equal Employment Opportunity division. Once she achieved a leadership position, Audrey had to figure out how to successfully manage her employees and her own mental health disorder, depression, at the same time. In this episode, Audrey talks about the "Four Ps" she used to help employees struggling in their jobs, the power of music, the gift of laughter, and the magic wand she kept in her office. Audrey also shares thoughts on the barriers faced by many African Americans who need mental health support. (Yes, church is one of them.)

In this episode, Ashley and Andrea are joined by two amazing women, Jeanine and Noelle. The group discusses how COVID upended their plans for 2020 and specific ways they have tried to cope. For Noelle, that meant transforming her community-based small business into an online retailer while caring for her aging parents and managing her own chronic illness. Jeanine tried her hand at working full time from home while helping the kids do remote school and her husband follow constantly changing regulations for the small business he started at the end of 2019. Whew! That's a lot to balance! And the exact reason to focus a spotlight on Amazing Mammoths. (As a reminder, Amazing Mammoths are employees being crushed by the weight of external stressors. They have great difficulty coping with a particular source of stress.) Have a listen to Part 1 of this conversation and feel inspired, comforted, and seen as Jeanine and Noelle share details of their journey through a rough year. and come back for Part 2!

A year into the coronavirus pandemic, more people than ever are dealing with poor mental health. The CDC and Mental Health America have recently released studies that show the significant, but not unexpected, rise in people experiencing anxiety and depression. Are you one of those people? Maybe you live or work with someone struggling with their mental health. In this first episode of Season 2, Ashley and Andrea talk about Amazing Mammoths and adjustment disorder. To refresh your memory, an Amazing Mammoth is a person having difficulty coping with or adjusting to a particular source of stress. This could stem from something straightforward like the loss of a job or a loved one or be more complicated, like trying to navigate a global pandemic. Regardless of the source, the external stressor causes the person to have symptoms similar to clinical depression. That includes inability to focus, having trouble completing tasks, isolating, and looking more disheveled. When we went to work and saw people on a regular basis, it was a little easier to tell when someone was withdrawing or having a tough time dealing with something because you saw it evolve over time. Once the world went virtual, our context clues disappeared making it harder to know who was struggling. During this podcast, Ashley and Andrea teach you how to recognize an Amazing Mammoth and provide examples of how coworkers, businesses, and the C-suite checked in with each other while being virtual. They also talk about coping skills and how alcohol and online shopping seemed to fill a void for many people who lost their support systems.

In this episode, Ashley and Andrea put forth the radical idea that reasonable accommodations are good for business! More specifically, they define psychiatric disability and explain how people living with mental health disorders qualify for accommodations at work under the ADA - Americans with Disabilities Act. They also provide lots of examples of what a reasonable accommodation for mental health looks like in the business setting. Andrea shares a word of caution about trying to address accommodation issues without the help of your HR staff. Ashley explains why she sits behind the copy machine at work.

Is your workplace "posi-vibes only!"? Are you reminded on a daily basis to "just choose happiness" or "be more grateful - other people have it worse than you?" Although they seem harmless on the surface, these phrases are really dismissive attempts to ignore a person or situation. When taken too far, they can create a culture of toxic positivity. In this episode, Ashley and Andrea talk about "toxic positivity" - what it means, where you find it, why it's especially harmful to people experiencing poor mental health, and what to do about it. They share helpful tools to identify and address your real emotions, acknowledge struggle while maintaining progress, and one simple question to help your employees feel heard.

What is BIPOC? Can I say "trans" without offending people? How many letters are supposed to be in LGBTQIA and what do they all mean?! In honor and recognition of Pride Month, Black Lives Matter, social justice, and minority mental health, Ashley and Andrea devote this podcast to highlighting the unique struggles faced by people who identify with multiple marginalized identities and talk about ways we can all be better allies.* Learning the language is an important first step if you want to engage in conversations about race, disparities, and justice. Ashley uses the UC Davis LGBTQIA Resource Center Glossary to define several words that keep popping up in the news and which ones are most appropriate to use.

There's also a 21 Day Racial Equity Challenge where you do one action to further your understanding of power, privilege, supremacy, oppression, and equity each day for 21 days. If you love checklists, definitely try Dr. John Raible's Checklist for Allies Against Racism. Read through the checklist to get a feel for what constitutes ally behavior on the part of anti-racists, and think about how often and how consistently you do any or all of them.

To give you an idea of what I’m talking about, I included a link to a funny, 2-minute YouTube video in the show notes.  It shows a woman in her car arriving at Target to buy one very specific thing.  She goes into the store, gets a shopping cart, and buys all kinds of stuff.  The video ends with her back in her car, remembering that she has forgotten the one thing she went into the store to buy!   Are you like the shopper in my example?  Or, can you go into Target, just buy that one thing you need, and leave without getting the other stuff? What does shopping at Target have to do with my career change from pharmacist to voice actor?  Stay with me.  I’m getting there!   As I record this on April 16, 2020, my family and I are mostly staying at home to reduce our risk of contracting the corona virus.  That means my kids are not physically in school.  They are at home, like all the other children in Ohio. My younger son has on-line school.  My older son, who has autism, has his own work to do.  It is not online, and he needs one-on-one supervision at all times.  I’m in charge of both boys while my husband works outside the home.   Working from home with added responsibilities and distractions is like going into Target for just one item.  It’s hard, but it can be done!  Even though I have a lot more on my plate right now, I’m still making progress.  I have a secret weapon.  Lists! Do you think the Target shopper from my story would have forgotten what she needed if she had used a list?  No way!  Lists help me focus so I can be present for my family and work toward my professional goals.  I have a projects list for the house and everyone in it, a list of business goals, and a daily list.”  When I’m using my lists effectively, I can knock out low-hanging fruit when I have five minutes.  If I get an hour or two, I can tackle bigger tasks, starting with the highest priorities first, of course! Having a realistic workload is important to me.  It makes me feel less stressed.  I can only get so much done in a day.  Once I picked up on how much I can handle after the first 2 weeks of the kids being home, I adjusted my expectations.  Although some goals are delayed or getting done quick and dirty, overall I’m getting a fair amount done.   Over the years, I have learned what works for me.  Making lists, being organized, and using time management strategies are really helpful.  If you want to learn how to be a productive list maker too, check out the book Listful Thinking: Using Lists to Be More Productive, Successful and Less Stressed by Paula Rizzo and Julie Morgenstern.  Do you want to improve your organizing and time management skills?  Check out all four of Julie Morgenstern’s books. I’ve been using a spiral-bound notebook to make a daily list for years.  I have appointments and reminders programmed into an electronic calendar, but for a daily agenda or to-do list, I need something I can touch.  A notebook really works for me.  My daily list has 3 categories.  Errands, appointments, and outings Projects Phone calls, e-mails, social media and texts Here’s a quick rundown of how I use my list.   The first category is “errands, appointments, and outings.”  It includes anything that requires being out of the house.  The second category is “projects.”  This is a vague category, but it involves everything that gets done at home and does not involve communication.  Many of my business tasks fall in this category, but so does making beds, doing dishes, folding laundry, and prepping food for dinner.  The third and final category on my daily to-do list is phone calls, e-mails, social media, and texts.  With the kids home, communication is tricky, but returning calls and responding to messages within 24 hours is important to me.  That’s what I want from others.  I try to do it myself.   When it comes to my family’s projects, my list has several categories.  Each person in the house gets their own goals.  We have family goals too.  Some examples are annual family portraits, home improvement projects, and vacation plans.  For my business, I have several goals.  The categories change as needed.  Right now, this is what I have: podcast  demos website marketing social media performance (training) technology networking There’s more than one thing in each category for my business goals.  Instead of listing all my goals, I’ll just tell you what I’ve been working on in each category over the past two weeks.  I’ve done pretty well in spite of a very different schedule and my kids home during the day. I’ll start with my podcast.  My goal is to release one episode per week and alternate solo shows and interview shows.  So far so good.  I have been releasing an episode each Friday, and I have been lining up guests and scheduling interviews.  As a bonus, I have been able to attend “office hours” for the School of Podcasting to hear what my classmates are up to and get input from them and our instructor, Dave Jackson. In the category of demos, I’m working on getting more audiobook demos uploaded to ACX.  ACX is the website that matches authors and narrators so they can create audiobooks for sale through Audible and amazon.com. Some exciting news on a different topic now. voiceactorwebsites.com is helping me create a new website.  Branding is important to the website, and two books are helping me learn more about branding.  They are Celia Siegel’s book Voiceover Achiever: Brand your VO career. Change your life and Donald Miller’s book Building a StoryBrand: Clarify Your Message So Customers Will Listen.  Both are in the show notes with links to amazon.com if you want to check them out too! With my Marketing goals, I’m starting to direct-market to potential clients.  Eventually, I want to reach out to 5/day.  I also just joined Voquent, which is a matchmaking website for voice talents and voice-seekers.   My top social media goal right now is to update my banners so my brand is consistent across the sites I use:  LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.   I’m moving forward with audiobook narration lessons with Sean Pratt.  I just got my homework assignment, and I’ll be busy with that this month.  I’m also practicing medical narration on my own. I have two urgent technology goals.  1.   Improve my audio editing skills using an on-line course called Studio One Jumpstart and 2.  Buy some back-up cables and a new pair of headphones.  I have some networking goals.  LinkedIn, Zoom, and Skype are a big help!  I am expanding my LinkedIn network, and I am attending meetings using Zoom and Skype.  Thanks to the power of lists, I am able to focus.  I have goals.  I know my priorities, and I am staying on track.  I have changed my expectations about how much I can get done in a day.  But, I’m still productive, and I feel good!   Thank you for listening to episode 14 of The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast!  

There used to be a time when people who were camera shy could mostly avoid being in photos or on video. For better or worse...those days are long gone. A lot of us hate seeing ourselves on camera, and today I’m going to talk about why. Our brains are actually programmed to hate seeing ourselves on camera because of specific biases. I’m going to talk about those biases, how they affect our brain, and give some tips to overcome those biases.  In a world of selfies, Instastories and YouTube…it’s hard to not be on camera these days. With the coronavirus pandemic (which I covered in episode 91), the world has been flocking to Zoom, which before the end of February had already added more active users than in all of 2019. In the coronavirus episode, I touched on why the brain is wired to react the way it does during a novel and frightening situation like this, and why we all feel inclined to hoard lots of supplies like toilet paper even when we know that is a bit irrational. Today’s episode gets into concepts like familiarity bias, confirmation bias, and comparisons that are working to make our brains hate seeing and hearing ourselves from the outside looking in. I talk about what we see and hear and what others see and hear. I explain how these biases affect us. I also share my own experiences with these biases, and share seven tips you can use to convince your brain that being on camera, audio, and video isn’t that bad after all. CLICK HERE FOR YOUR FREE DOWNLOAD! Show Notes: [04:32] Not too long ago, any of us who wanted to could pretty much avoid cameras – either video or photos. [08:13] I get it. AND I want to help everyone understand some of the things going on in all our brains that make us less than excited about seeing ourselves on video (or listening to our own voices on a recording) to make it a little easier to do that next one. [08:23] There are a couple of mind tricks conspiring against seeing yourself on camera, including confirmation bias, familiarity bias, and the comparison effect (essentially relativity), and the focusing illusion. [08:55] FAMILIARITY BIAS This is one of those things that is so obvious when you hear it, but not something that people are usually connecting the dots on themselves. [09:19] We see everyone head on, and they see us head-on. The only way we see ourselves is a reflection in the mirror. We actually see the opposite of what everyone else sees. [10:23] This is why our familiarity bias kicks in when we see our image in a photo, and we think that something is off. [10:56] Studies have actually shown people two images – head on and mirror image – to see what people preferred, and it confirmed that friends and partners…everyone else, prefers the “straight on” image of us, and we all prefer our mirror images. [11:13] People could never explain why they didn’t like one and why they preferred the mirror image. The conscious can’t explain it…but the subconscious knows what it is used to looking at. [11:47] Until you train your brain to see your “real face” more, it will not be familiar and it will feel off. This means putting in the effort to be in more pictures and on video and watching yourself. [12:11] Some smart systems like Zoom actually let you choose if you want to be looking at and recording your “real” face or your “mirror image.”  (Bonus side note not in the episode - I did a run through of a training using GoToMeeting the day after recording this and saw myself in NOT mirror image for the first time in a while...my brain’s immediate reaction was that it was awful! But I was able to use the tips from the episode to get past it and not make it awkward.) [12:42] Help train your brain to get used to the good stuff of the true you. Our brains dial in WAY too closely on things when we are thinking about them. [13:22] You will be focusing on yourself in a way no one else does. So you have two options. First: train yourself to watch the general image and try not to narrow in on one specific item. [14:21] The second option is to know that the focusing illusion will still be happening because your brain is wired to focus on stuff. Focusing on the good stuff will make you happier and smile more. [15:26] Zoom also has a “touch up my appearance” option that gives you a smoothed out look and can be the edge you need to feel more comfortable. [16:50] We actually hear ourselves differently than everyone else, because our voices are reverberating around inside our heads while we speak. Your perception of yourself is biased. [18:26] CONFIRMATION BIAS Familiarity bias combines with confirmation bias to really reinforce the bad stuff deeper into your brain. [19:26] We remember the feedback that aligns with our self esteem more than we remember anything that doesn’t align with it. [20:42] Your subconscious is making 99% of the decisions and evaluating tons of information every second to screen out what fits its rules and what doesn’t. [22:24] You need to embrace the new positive just make it plausible enough that your brain will believe it. [23:39] COMPARISON EFFECT for our purposes this is essentially relativity. [23:56] The context (the environment you were just in) will impact the way your brain perceives the next item. [26:14] If video is important to your business, invest in making yourself look as good as possible. This will benefit your personal brand and make it easier to see yourself. Here are those 7 tips: [29:51] #1 Try to focus on good stuff you like about yourself instead of the stuff that makes you cringe. [30:02] #2 People are programmed to like you more when they see you the way they are used to seeing you. People like authenticity. [30:34] #3 Reframe your focus to a positive. [30:50] #4 Be okay with mess ups. They will happen. [31:49] #5 Imagine the audience is laughing at the right spots and loving every minute. [33:21] #6 Decide to get over it. Find positive things to focus on and see yourself better. [34:33] #7 Do as much video as you can as often as possible. [35:13] It's time for a new challenge.

In this episode, Ashley and Andrea will tell you about people who manage a mental illness and work expectations every day -- the invisible elephants. Invisible elephants are employees with a mental illness who are high-functioning enough to hold a job. They are stealthy and blend into the office environment using the powers of cubicle camouflage. They hate surprises and fear being asked to come into the boss's office and "shut the door." Learn some great tips from HR expert Andrea about supporting staff members who live with some kind of mental health disorder, and hear a first-hand account from Ashley about being an invisible elephant. #CubicleCamouflage #InvisibleElephants #Elephantinyouroffice Buy the book, There's an Elephant in Your Office, on our website elephantinyouroffice.com or on Amazon.

Jason and Alan had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Gary DeWood from Spear Education about what we can expect during the Coronavirus crisis. Gary's message is one that we all could use right now and we're grateful for him giving us some time. Some of the things we discussed: What do you do when you find yourself at the edge of the cliff and you don't know what to do? This is a "government mandated" economic downturn which makes it interesting and scary What should we be doing with our teams? What about the potential bill being passed? Tax credits vs. tax "cut" Do a 4 week "break even" Own the fear/angst "It's hard to make a plan when you don't know what the rules are" Furlough vs. layoff What should we expect with regard to infection control? Are "universal precautions" still universal? testing and how many people actually have the virus? hopeful information about this virus what's a the story on the n95 mask How is coronavirus like a horrible game of telephone Some links from the show: Spear Online MedCram youtube channel The Pennsylvania law referenced (it has been updated) Go Hack Yourself: Jason: ManyChat Alan: Garmin Connect/My Fitness Pal The Dental Hacks Nation closed Facebook group has 28,000 members!

How many teeth have we done root canal therapy on that we probably never should have in the first place? It's an uncomfortable topic because we have to be humble about our ability to diagnose and treatment plan for success! Dr. Lou Berman joined Jason and Alan for an in person interview from the Spear Summit 2019! We dove right in to cover a bunch of interesting endodontic topics! How do you know when you SHOULDN'T start endodontic therapy? How do you evaluate the foundation before the house is built? Creating Spear Education's endodontics curriculum Root resorption...what's up with that? It's not coming from the pulp, it's coming from the periodontium (external)...it's NOT an endodontic problem! Orthodontics and root resorption...feline herpetic viruses? The financial commitment of endo (and retreatment) "Root canals don't work on me" Endo temporaries (why don't we seal the access?)

It’s a great big bucket of patient information that you keep adding to every day. You’ve got to have it. But what your practice management software can’t do is tell you when Karen is running late. Or that Bill mentioned in a text that he’s ready to do that crown. Our friends at YAPI love your practice management software, but they want to help you get the most out of it! That’s why they created the “Practice Dashboard.” The Practice Dashboard gives you a bird’s eye view of your office. At a glance, you’ll know patient’s readiness and priority: who is checking in, who is filling out paperwork, who is ready to be seated, who has been waiting for too long and who is running late. This real-time information enables dental teams to optimize patient flow, minimize delays, reduce patients’ wait times and handle the unexpected. So basically, Practice Dashboard from YAPI takes the information in that big bucket and puts it in front of the right people at the right time. Check out Practice Dashboard and all of the other great features YAPI has to offer at dentalhacks.com/YAPI. YAPI. It’s a funny name, but it’s serious software!

Because of Julie, I studied myself to figure out what makes me tick.  I needed to find out where my time goes, and how long it takes me to do things.  If you have never done this, I highly recommend it.  It could help you make a career pivot some day!  What would you do if you had an extra 2 hours in your day?  10-14 hours in your week?  Would you be able to start a side-hustle?  Could you learn a new skill?  You bet!  I did! What I did:  I bought spiral-bound, wide-ruled notebooks.  I wrote down what I did every day and how long it took me to do it.  Some examples:  making beds, doing dishes, folding laundry, making dinner, going to the gym, getting cleaned up, going through mail, reading and responding to e-mails, and working on projects.  What I learned was a game changer!  I grouped similar activities to help make my days run smoother.  For example, errands.  If I needed to run errands, I would do them as batches instead of going out once or twice/day.  I also started a “projects binder” for projects that are so big they need broken down into bite-sized chunks, like planning a vacation and home improvement projects.    What I have learned from reading books and listening to audiobooks has helped me grow so I can make the best use of my time and spend as much time as possible on my business.  I love to read and learn! Julie’s books - all of them - helped me define goals and decide how to spend my time doing the activities that would help me accomplish my goals.   Julie taught me the 4 D’s and how to SHED.   The four D’s are delete, delay, delegate, and diminish.   Delete When I have more on my list than I have time, I will delete non-essential tasks.  Examples:  meetings, workouts, projects, and conference notes that don’t fit into my big-picture goals.   Delay My husband and I have a budget meeting the night before he gets paid.  Our goal is to meet every two weeks.  If one of us is sick, out of town, or there is a holiday, we delay the meeting. Delegate When possible, I delegate tasks.  Examples:  my kids put their laundry away, and my husband drops our books off at the library. Diminish Think of this as doing things “quick and dirty.”  Example:  a one-sentence e-mail instead of staring at the computer for 15 minutes, writing, and rewriting a message.  Write the sentence.  Send the e-mail.  Save time.  The goal is to communicate.  Finding 15 more minutes of time to work on my business is my payoff.   SHED • Separating the treasures (identify what really matters)  • Heave the rest (eliminate excess)  • Embracing your identity (Who do you really want to be?)  • Drive yourself forward (Make a change.  The past isn’t holding you back.) I have figured out what is important to me and worked to get rid of the thoughts, habits, and stuff that are holding me back so I can do what I want to do with my life.   By looking at what I wanted and what held me back, I was able to make a career change.  It took me years.   Other books that have influenced me are Chip Heath and Dan Heath’s books Switch and Decisive.  Switch got me into a mindset to change even though change is hard.  Decisive helped me become a better decision-maker. Good to Great taught me to find what I can do well and do that one thing to the best of my ability.  When I made my career change, I had the idea to offer other services.  When I narrowed it down to just voiceover, I made progress.  From Good to Great, I also love the phrase, “Get the right people on the bus.”  It means that to drive my business forward, I need to have the right people helping me before I can go anywhere.  I need the right coaches, the right pool of accountability buddies, and so on.

7.17.19 - Your Office as A Believer by Pastor Sir Walter Scott III

Why Listen What to say about Justin? Well, he was shot in the head by a sniper and pronounced killed in action… but that didn’t stick. Justin is a Purple Heart recipient, an author, a lawyer, an motivational speaker, an entrepreneur, and he now works with a company that helps over 24k military members and their families EVERY MONTH - that’s right, every month - find their ideal job and make their career transitions easier. It’s a little disappointing to be on a show with two Justin’s, and realize that the other Justin is kicking a— and you need to try your best to keep up. This is a great interview for any career path, and I think you’ll really enjoy Justin’s story. About Justin Justin joined the Marine Corps while in law school at the University of Denver School of Law, and served on active duty as a JAG officer for six years.  Then as a Reservist, Justin deployed to Iraq in 2006, serving as a Civil Affairs Team Leader while attached to an infantry battalion. During a combat patrol, Justin was shot in the head by a sniper.    Although the original prognosis was that he had been killed in action, Justin survived thanks to risks taken by his fellow Marines and a courageous Navy Corpsman.  In fact, when Corpsman Grant first rolled Justin over, he was no longer breathing.  For his service in Iraq, Justin earned the Purple Heart, Combat Action Ribbon and Navy-Marine Corps Commendation Medal.   Justin retired from the Marine Corps at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.  He now runs his own business as an inspirational speaker and veteran employment expert.  His writing on military and leadership issues has been published in The Washington Post, Time, CNN, The Atlantic, Forbes Magazine and other media outlets.  In 2015, he completed his first book, My Battlefield, Your Office, which applies military leadership skills to the private sector. And in partnership with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), Justin recently authored From “We Will” to “At Will”, an authoritative and interactive guidebook about veteran and military spouse employment. Justin is also a Partner at JobPath, a robust veteran employment platform that provides a variety of solutions to corporations, government agencies and nonprofit organizations that hire veterans.

This Week’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk all about time management. As creative business owners, we all struggle with time. Many of us “juggle a lot of balls” by balancing multiple revenue streams and roles in our business. My guest on this episode is Lindsey Stephens, the owner of Poetry in Yarn. Lindsey juggles her roles as a crochet designer, tech editor, crochet and knitting teacher, and web designer for Poetry in Yarn with her part-time job as a math teacher at a Yeshiva elementary and middle school in Connecticut, and her responsibilities as a mother and a wife. Lindsey can be found online at the Poetry in Yarn website and on Facebook, Ravelry (as Leebah and on her designer page), Twitter, and YouTube. I previously interviewed her on the Underground Crafter blog here.  Lindsey’s Tips for Time Management Know how much time you have Know what you need to accomplish Know how much time each task takes Work with your habits, not against them Delegate (or partner) to get some of the work done by others About Poetry in Yarn Lindsey Stephens started her yarn-related business in 2009, when she began submitting designs to magazines. Her (mostly) crochet patterns have been published by Crochet 1-2-3, Crochet World, Knit 1-2-3, KnitCircus, and in Curvy Girl Crochet and Debbie Macomber: Blossom Street Collection Book 3. Shortly thereafter, she took the Designing for Print Publication course by Mary Beth Temple. She launched the Poetry in Yarn site in 2010, and began self-publishing her own patterns. She began accepting clients for crochet tech editing (including symbol chart creation) as well as web design services in 2011 or 2012. Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and additional courses on garment grading. Her business has expanded primarily through word-of-mouth and by collaborating with a graphic designer for mutual referrals. She now provides tech editing services for publishers, and Fresh Designs Crochet: Toys, a booklet she tech edited, was recently released by Cooperative Press. As the other elements of her business have expanded, Lindsey has decreased her design submissions to external publishers. In this interview, she shares her tips for time management, particularly when you are managing diversified tasks and multiple income streams. 1. Know how much time you have Lindsey’s first suggestion is to be conservative in estimating the amount of time you have available. While you may seem to have a three hour time slot to devote to working on a particular project, in fact you may use part of that time period to eat, shower, commute, do household chores, etc. If you start by being clear about how much time is actually available for working, you will be more likely to properly schedule your duties. Similarly, pad your internally imposed deadlines to account for possible emergencies or shifts in your schedule. 2. Know what you need to accomplish Lindsey recommends tracking your tasks/duties externally, using a system that works well for you. She suggests that you should clear your brain space by relieving yourself of the responsibility of remembering all your tasks – by listing them, you can sharpen your focus on completing the tasks, rather than on remembering what the tasks are. Lindsey forecasts her tasks and sets a preliminary schedule on Sunday. Lindsey uses a spiral notebook, but others may prefer electronic task management tools. She uses a large spiral notebook, so her list of tasks looks smaller, and recommends starting a new list periodically on a clean sheet of paper. This makes her list look more manageable and less intimidating, so it relieves stress while allowing her to see patterns in her schedule and decide what can be delegated. Lindsey also recommends being aware of your own rhythms. For example, communicating and sharing on social media comes naturally to her, so she doesn’t add it to her task list or schedule. However, if you are not as comfortable with social media, you may want to include it on your task list. 3. Know how much time each task takes Lindsey recommends being realistic about what can be accomplished in a given timeframe. She uses a combination of tools to increase her understanding of how long specific tasks take to complete. Lindsey uses Toggl, a free time tracking software, when she’s working on computer-based tasks, like tech editing or blogging. When she’s designing or creating samples, she observes start and end times on a clock or by counting a number of television episodes she watched. Lindsey notes that the more often you do something, the more realistic you can be about the amount of time required. (So if you are just launching your business, don’t worry! This will be easier to understand over time.) 4. Work with your habits, not against them Once you have clarity on how much time you have, what you need to accomplish, and how much time each task takes, Lindsey recommends working with your own habits and preferences, and not against them. She was first introduced to this idea in Organizing from the Inside Out, Second Edition: The Foolproof System For Organizing Your Home, Your Office and Your Life by Julie Morgenstern. Specifically, Lindsey suggests that you don’t adopt any “system” of time management, but rather use different time management tools that fit into your own lifestyle for maximum success.  5. Delegate (or partner) to get some of the work done by others Consider what you can delegate or partner with others to do in order to maximize your time. Lindsey uses a contract crocheter, a part-time bookkeeper, and a virtual assistant that she met through word-of-mouth and social media. This allows you to expand the amount of work you can do within the limits of your available time. If you enjoyed this episode The Creative Yarn Entrepreneur Show is no longer broadcasting.

Like it or not, the nature of our society and of our culture today is focused inward.  Walk down any urban street, vs. 40 years ago and instead of looking out, we’re look down or inward.  At our phones, our images, at our own world.  In a culture where self branding is celebrated, where selfies rule and Millennials are self absorbed, is it any wonder that narcissism seems rampant? But is this just a societal phase, resulting in the kind of prolonged adolescence that A.O. Scott talked about in his NY Times essay, or is it a clinical epidemic that needs more serious attention? Jeffrey Kluger examines these changes in The Narcissist Next Door: Understanding the Monster in Your Family, in Your Office, in Your Bed,in Your World.My conversation with Jeffrey Kluger:
