Today's Headlines: Police in Atlanta arrested a man outside the city's international airport after his family alerted authorities that he was on his way to “shoot up the airport.” Officers found an assault rifle and ammo in his truck, preventing what could've been a mass shooting. Meanwhile, new reporting revealed that Secretary of State Marco Rubio approved the transfer of nine MS-13 leaders—including some who were FBI informants—back to El Salvador at President Bukele's request, in exchange for access to his infamous CECOT prison. In related news, Dutch intelligence is now limiting what information they share with the United States over human rights concerns. In Trump's world, demolition crews began tearing down part of the White House for his new “Marie Antoinette Ballroom,” despite no formal approval from the federal agency that oversees government property—because apparently that rule doesn't apply to “demolition.” In the courts, an appeals court ruled that Trump can take command of the Oregon National Guard (though he can't deploy them yet), and the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case on whether marijuana users can legally own guns—the same charge Hunter Biden was convicted of. Elsewhere, a massive Amazon Web Services outage temporarily took down much of the internet—including Reddit, Zoom, and Venmo—after a technical failure disrupted about a third of the world's online traffic. And to top it off, a lithium battery caught fire midair on an Air China flight, forcing an emergency landing.

As a second-generation performer, Román Zaragoza was immersed in the industry from just six months old and quickly came to understand the realities of an actor's life. We dive deep into how his intensive theater work, especially his time at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF), kept him grounded and provided him with humbling, world-class ensemble training. Román details the entire process of booking his series regular role on the hit CBS comedy GHOSTS. He shares his initial skepticism about auditioning for a historical Native American character, and how his extensive experience with Zoom theater prepared him for his multiple callbacks. After booking the role, he provides insight into the immense pressure of finding your space in a huge, successful ensemble cast and how to create a memorable character. He also discusses how his theater background helped him book an exciting new voice role in the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender animated film. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Román Zaragoza right here.

Tom possesses a unique ability he calls Upsight Vision, which is the power to see translucent images that radiate from you, literally revealing the unconscious thoughts and next-level insights buried beneath the surface. I requested he ask zero questions, and over Zoom, the things he shared with me were unbelievably spot on! Today, we dive deep into how these incredible gifts came to him, the connection between childhood trauma and unlocking this evolutionary mutation in consciousness, and why this revolutionary gift is attracting artists, musicians, and business owners alike.

There have been lots of movements in foreign affairs over the weekend, including a potential collapse of the Gaza peace deal, a Trump–Putin bilateral and new revelations about the China spy case. But closer to home, all eyes are on Kent Council, Reform's flagship administrative project run by Linden Kemkaran (formerly of this parish).Over the weekend, a Zoom call was leaked to the Guardian, in which council leader Kemkaran used some choice language – many are calling it a Jackie Weaver moment, if you can cast your mind back to 2021. Labour have put out a press release and the Lib Dems are apparently going to capitalise on it with something Traitors-themed, in an attempt to demonstrate that, for all their success in the polls, Reform can't govern. Will this cut through?Lucy Dunn speaks to James Heale and Tim Shipman.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

One of the most common questions I get asked is “Why didn't my IUI work?" It's a great question because there are many factors that come into play with intrauterine insemination. If you're my patient, we'd start by checking the Fallopian tubes, uterus, and sperm quality first.⠀ But let's say you've done the #TUSHYcheck, the tubes are clear and everything else looks good. So why doesn't IUI work? The answer I share with my patients is: because you're human. Yes, it's really as simple as that. ⠀ To put IUI into perspective, 90% of the time it doesn't work. ⠀ So if your IUI didn't work, I want you to know that there's nothing wrong with you, and you're normal, and human. It's that simple.⠀ Do you have questions about getting a diagnosis with the TUSHY Method?Join Dr. Aimee for the upcoming IVF Class where she will explain the TUSHY Method, IVF and egg freezing. The next live class call is on Monday, October 20, 2025 at 4pm PST, and there will be time to ask Dr. Aimee your questions live on Zoom.

(00:01) Teaching Golf Standards and Challenges This chapter features an engaging conversation with Brian Manzella, a renowned golf instructor who is highly ranked in both Golf Magazine's Top 100 Teachers and Golf Digest's Top 50 Teachers lists. We explore the challenges of finding a suitable golf teacher who can adapt to individual learning styles rather than enforcing a one-size-fits-all approach. Brian shares insights into the low standards in the golf teaching industry, contrasting it with other professions that require certifications. He reflects on his career choices and aspirations, and the conversation highlights the importance of having experienced and qualified instructors in golf. Brian's journey and thoughts offer a valuable perspective on the state of golf instruction today. (11:26) Standardizing Golf Instruction This chapter addresses the challenges and opportunities in the world of golf instruction, particularly focusing on biomechanics and communication within the PGA of America. I explore the contrasting methodologies between various biomechanics schools, such as Jacobs 3D and TPI, and question the potential for a unified approach. The conversation also critiques the communication skills in teaching, suggesting that studying successful educators could be more beneficial. I propose two actionable solutions to enhance teaching standards: first, requiring PGA instructors to upload a 30-minute lesson annually, which could foster transparency and inspire improvement; and second, initiating monthly Zoom meetings led by thought leaders, providing a platform for sharing knowledge and techniques. However, I acknowledge potential resistance due to fears of embarrassment and reluctance to showcase one's methods publicly. (19:16) Selecting the Right Golf Instructor This chapter explores how to cultivate emotional attachment to football games when you don't naturally support local teams, such as the Cincinnati Bengals or the Cleveland Browns. By placing bets on platforms like FanDuel, you can create a rooting interest, enhancing your enjoyment and engagement with the games. We also discuss the challenges and politics within the PGA of America regarding innovation and the reluctance to embrace new teaching methodologies due to potential backlash from established professionals. Finally, we address the confusion some might face when seeking golf lessons and how to find the right instructor to improve their game. (28:47) Establishing Standards in Golf Instruction This chapter explores the challenge of identifying great golf teachers and critiques the current system that often relies on reputation and word of mouth. We discuss the flaws in how professional golfers select instructors, noting that the same few teachers are recycled without necessarily being the best. There's a call for a more structured and standardized system to evaluate golf teachers, much like other professions have, to ensure quality instruction. We suggest that someone with a comprehensive understanding of golf instruction, like Brian, could lead an organization to establish fair and effective criteria for rating teachers. The conversation also touches on the need for better communication skills among instructors to improve how they convey their knowledge to students. (38:29) The Golf Instruction Industry Issues This chapter explores the cyclical nature of golf teaching trends and the resurgence of topics like the golfing machine and O'Grady's methodologies on social media platforms. We reflect on how these discussions have been extensively debated in forums and Facebook groups over the years, and yet continue to re-emerge with new generations. The idea of creating an archival system to document these recurring trends is discussed, emphasizing the need for a structured approach to preserving golf teaching history. Additionally, we analyze the influence of tour instructors and the fluctuation of their perceived credibility, noting that many gain prominence without having developed players from the ground up. The conversation also touches on the lack of dedicated media coverage for the golf teaching industry, suggesting that more consistent scrutiny could address ongoing issues and misconceptions. (50:08) The Future of Golf Instruction This chapter focuses on the future of the golf teaching business and how it can be improved. We explore the potential for customization in golf instruction, emphasizing the importance of tailoring lessons to individual players' needs. The conversation highlights the potential for increased visibility of personalized coaching through online platforms, allowing coaches to showcase their work with specific players. While AI is acknowledged as a transformative force, the discussion shifts to the shortcomings of golf telecasts, particularly the lackluster performance of current announcers. We discuss the idea of offering alternative commentary options, allowing viewers to choose more engaging and knowledgeable voices to enhance the viewing experience. The overall sentiment is that both golf instruction and telecasts have room for improvement, and there is hope for more personalized and entertaining approaches in the future. (54:42) Celebrating Golf Music Memories This chapter is all about having a good time with a nod to musical nostalgia and a touch of humor. We explore the joys of appreciating pickles and the fun of picking who you love, alongside a light-hearted mention of Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks, specifically their classic song "How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away." It's a mix of laughter and fond memories as we share this entertaining moment. Ryan and I have a great exchange, highlighting the fun and camaraderie of the group, while also playfully acknowledging the presence of cynicism. It's a heartfelt thanks to Ryan for joining us, as we wrap up another engaging session on Those Weekend Golf Guys. #GolfInstruction, #BrianManzella, #TeachingStandards, #PGAofAmerica, #Biomechanics, #Communication, #AdaptiveTeaching, #IndividualLearningStyles, #Certification, #InstructionalStandards, #AI, #PersonalizedCoaching, #GolfTelecasts, #MusicalNostalgia, #Camaraderie, #GolfCommunity, #GolfIndustry, #TeachingTrends, #GolfTeachers, #GolfMediaCoverage Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week's Empire Podcast sees Chris Hewitt, Helen O'Hara and James Dyer pay tribute to two cinematic greats who left us this week: the legendary Oscar-winning actress, Diane Keaton, and Drew Struzan, the artist who defined posters, and people's walls, for decades. Struzan's work inspires this week's question, which asks our trio to identify the greatest poster of all time. Elsewhere in the show, they discuss the week's movie news, including the return of Sam Raimi, and review Roofman, After The Hunt, Black Phone 2, and briefly discuss Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein and Edward Berger's Ballad Of A Small Player. Guest-wise, our cup overfloweth yet again, as Chris sits down on Zoom (sorry about his audio track, he didn't have access to his microphone) with Rebecca Miller, director of the excellent Apple documentary about Martin Scorese, Mr. Scorsese, [25:26 - 40:19 approx] and in person with the delightful stars of Roofman, Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst. [1:04:01 - 1:19:13 approx] And Sophie Butcher has a lovely chat with Black Phone 2 stars, Mason Thames (who, contrary to what Chris thinks, does not pronounce his name like the river) and Madeleine McGraw. [1:43:07 - 1:58:08 approx] Enjoy!

The Plant Free MD with Dr Anthony Chaffee: A Carnivore Podcast
There is a weird trend now arguing that you should go low fat on a carnivore diet, because wild animals can be lean and therefore our ancestors would have only eaten lean meat on a carnivore diet. this is demonstrably false, and unsafe, for many reasons, as explained in this video. (My video "Is Ketosis Harmful?" https://youtu.be/nJyUQmRc1q8?si=r2IngkzpwxEqkCFv ) What we seem to see are people who may not be doing a full carnivore diet, just fatty meat and water, and will include quite a lot of dairy such as milk or cheese, yogurt etc I may even include artificial sweeteners, which absolutely will Elevate insulin the fat storage hormone. People do this and they tend to gain weight or can't lose the weight they want to lose, and they get convinced that this is because they are eating too much fat, even though eating high-fat carnivore actually improved their health, nutrition, society, and help with weight loss earlier on before they added in the dairy and the artificial sweeteners. Once they lower the fat, they start to get the majority of their calories from protein and can start getting very unwell from low-grade protein poisoning. this may lose some weight, as an early sign of protein poisoning is rapid weight loss, but this is unhealthy weight loss. Then they might think that this is just a fact of being in ketosis so they adding carbohydrates, and because they are now getting calories from something besides protein, the protein poisoning subsides, thus confirming their own bias. So by not doing carnivore and using artificial sweeteners and/or dairy people start to gain weight or not be able to lose as much weight as they want to, so they switch to low fat hoping that will help. Then they start feeling unwell, like we do to low-grade protein poisoning and likely malnutrition from a lack of fat soluble vitamins, and so they think that carnivore didn't work for them and they start adding back in other things like carbohydrates. Then they tell others that carnivore didn't work for them and maybe it doesn't work for others as well, but the problem is that they weren't doing carnivore in the first place. Carnivore is a complete absence of anything except meat and eggs, and for some people not even eggs. If you add in a lot of dairy and / or sweeteners you will not get the same results as others, and you will likely gain weight. Fat is an essential nutrient, and our ancestors absolutely prioritize the fat, and ate the fattiest animals that they could find. #carnivore #weightloss #nutrition If you liked this and want to learn more go to my new website www.DrAnthonyChaffee.com

I met Arwen Becker by accident in the Aspen airport. Her red hat caught my eye with a mysterious number, 29029, the height of Mount Everest in feet. That number captures something I believe deeply: we are capable of more than we think when we show up for the adventure that is seeking us right now.Arwen is a six-time finisher of the 29029 x Aspen endurance challenge, where participants hike a mountain repeatedly for 36 hours to reach the vertical height of Everest. She's also spent 23 years as a financial advisor empowering women to take control of their retirement, written the book "She Handled It: Retirement, an Inspiring and Empowering Financial Guide for Women Over 40," hosts the She Handled It podcast, and holds a Bachelor of Science in Zoology. Before finance, she ran a wildlife rehabilitation center, her childhood dream. This woman knows what it means to pivot, to prepare, and to show up even when it's hard.If you've ever handed over responsibility for your money, your body, or your dreams to someone else because it felt too hard or too complicated, Arwen's story will shake you awake. We talk about why 80% of women die single while 80% of men die married and what that means for your financial security, the four phases of achieving meaningful goals, mandatory gear on mountains and in life, why good training makes recovery possible, and how the real transformation happens in the grind, not at the summit.Takeaways:How small daily choices build strength and freedomWhy financial and spiritual preparation matterThe beauty of joy and pain coexisting in transformationConnect with Arwen Becker:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arwenbecker/Website: https://arwenbecker.com/She Handled It on Amazon: https://a.co/d/2MZBPuHHer story is a powerful reminder that the climb is where we grow, that community matters, and that the adventure is happening now, wherever you are.

While Peter Thiel obsesses over the Anti-Christ, his company Palantir has been busy building America's Orwellian Big Brother, which began under Trump's first term and was allowed to continue under Biden. Under Trump's second term, Thiel's Palantir has rapidly expanded into nearly every corner of the U.S. government. A recent New York Times investigation detailed how Palantir's data-mining empire powers law enforcement and intelligence agencies to track, profile, and monitor not just criminal networks, but potentially spy on American citizens. Thiel likes to posture as a radical outsider, but through Palantir he's shaping the machinery of the state to establish a tech-backed dictatorship. In Part Two of our conversation with journalist Gil Duran, of the essential Nerd Reich newsletter, we dig into the tech coup, what it means for democracy, and why it matters that a billionaire obsessed with the apocalypse is also building the digital panopticon. We also discuss what happens when Trump dies and MAGA faces a Game of Thrones succession battle? Why don't we have a strong opposition? How do we build one? How do we create real solidarity instead of the weak attempts by some Democratic leaders to “negotiate” with fascists? (There's no negotiating with fascists.) How do we establish our own fifty year plan to rebuild democracy? Want to hear Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Today's Headlines: We're now on day 16 of the government shutdown, and Republican leaders are hinting it could drag on until Thanksgiving — casually blaming holiday travel chaos while admitting they're not even thinking about reopening the government. Meanwhile, OMB Director Russell Vought says the administration plans to fire 10,000 federal workers, though a federal judge just ruled they can't do that during a shutdown. While public employees go unpaid, the administration is finding cash for others — promising a “clever and generous” $10 billion bailout for farmers hit by the trade war with China once the shutdown ends, and another $20 billion to prop up Argentina's crumbling economy. Priorities! At the Pentagon, dozens of journalists turned in their press badges rather than sign Pete Hegseth's “state media” pledge requiring them to only report what the Defense Department approves — a move even Fox wouldn't touch. Over at the Supreme Court, justices heard a major case that could gut the Voting Rights Act by striking down race-based map protections — potentially flipping a dozen Democratic House seats in the South right before the 2026 midterms. Meanwhile, an Ohio GOP congressman's office was found to have a flag featuring a swastika intertwined with the American flag visible on a Zoom call. He blamed it on “vandalism,” because apparently random Nazi décor just appears in people's offices now. And finally, the yacht formerly known as the Lady Ghislaine — once owned by Robert Maxwell (yes, Ghislaine's dad) and now Rupert Murdoch's ex-wife's — caught fire in D.C. yesterday. Officials say it was electrical. Okay then.

How do you move forward after a life marked by trauma and pain? Can looking back be the very thing that helps you discover your purpose in God's plan?As a young orphan in war-torn Liberia, Jackson TerKeurst could never have imagined the path his life would take. After years in an orphanage surrounded by the devastation of conflict, Jackson was invited to join a group of children on a tour across the United States—sharing stories of resilience and hope born from unimaginable suffering.But in the midst of that journey, Jackson received heartbreaking news: he would not be returning home. His country and the orphanage he once knew had been overtaken by violence and chaos. Stranded and grieving, Jackson faced an uncertain future.Yet God was writing a greater story.Through a series of divine appointments, Jackson met the TerKeurst family, who would eventually adopt him and his brother. Today, Jackson is an entrepreneur, a husband, and a father. He reflects on his journey and how God's hand was evident through it all in his new book,The Only Way Forward Is Back: A Story of War, Adoption, and Finding Your Purpose in God's Plan.In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, Davey sits down with Jackson to explore the deep wounds of growing up in a war zone, how revisiting the past has been key to Jackson's healing, and why serving others plays such a central role in his story.If you've ever been hesitant to look back at your own pain, this episode will remind you: sometimes it's in looking back that we find the very path God has prepared to move us forward.

In this episode, we explore self-inquiry through Ashlee's deeply personal story, which dates back to when she was twelve years old doing yard work with her dad. Feeling oppressed and stuck in that situation, Ashlee reflects on how those childhood emotions linger into her present as mother of a twelve-year-old daughter. The anger she is holding toward her father becomes a focal point as we move through the four questions and turnarounds of The Work, examining the thoughts that create her perceptions of their relationship. Join us as we navigate through these father-daughter dynamics and learn how to end our suffering. Get still, open your mind, and together let's do The Work!

The Dental A Team (00:30) I don't pull you in on these as much, Britt, and I have Ms. Brittany Stone. And Britt, I mean, it's gotta be nice over there, like, floating through life on the HR side, you know? But every now and again, I gotta pull you in and wrangle you back to the consulting side. So welcome, and I'm just, I'm excited to have you here today, Britt. How are you? Britt (00:50) I like that you call it floating through life over there, Tiff, right? I'm happy to ask a person what it is. The Dental A Team (00:54) I'm just, I'm projecting it for you. Yeah, I'm projecting it. That way you can like create it. What we say we create, right? Britt (01:01) Exactly. We do have an amazing team. It's fun to be here. know consultants get the opportunity to be on here. Even Eve with marketing, so proud of her that she did a podcast as well.

The Dental A Team (01:46) Yeah, Britt did not, you guys. Just a quick tidbit. Britt has come out of herself quite a bit. And do you remember, Britt, I was just thinking like one of the first, I remember where we were sitting, where I was sitting, at least in my apartment when we had to do the Zoom, because Kiera's like, we got to do videos. People are doing video podcasts now. We got to keep up with it. We got to do videos. And you and I were like, what? Like, I am not dressed for this. Like, and we were so awkward and uncomfortable and it was so weird. Do you remember? Britt (02:14) I do and you know that's like voice was weird enough for me at least you know karma works in my favor that I didn't have to go full throttle from the very beginning of doing things I got an intro of just doing voice and then eventually adding video The Dental A Team (02:23) there. Very fair, very fair. And I think as a leader on our team, that kind of spurs right into what our conversation today is about. And Britt, you are an incredible fearless leader on our team. And I think doing this podcast with you is divine and just meant to be. are someone that I look up to, that I know the whole team looks up to. And just that in itself, like the things that you have worked through, overcome. I remember when you first came on, I'm like, talk to yourself in the mirror. You're like, okay, crazy. Like, yeah, I am. I am crazy, but it works. And you did it. Like you just jumped in and you were like, I'm going to figure this out. And that is just a piece of leadership that I think you're naturally born with, the figure out-ness. Like it's fine. Anything can be figured out. Whether you do it for the long run or not, you can figure it out and train someone else to do it. So having you on on the leadership piece here is actually just super like natural, right? Like it just is natural. So thank you for being here. Britt (03:26) You bet, you're generous, Tiff. I problem solving for sure. Kiera will say there's always a solution and that is yes, being a leader, there's always a path through. I don't know exactly what it might be right now, but there's always a pathway through. And ⁓ yeah, it's, ⁓ I think also being a leader, it's a constant ⁓ humble of being able to learn is helps you continue to learn skills to be a better leader over time. The Dental A Team (03:51) I totally agree with you. And we learn from each other, I think, and we continue to grow. We continue to refine those aspects of ourselves and those aspects of who we are and who we want to become. And it just makes it really, really cool. And today's special podcast, you guys should know. Hopefully, you know, this is dropping on a very special day. It's it's considered Boss's Day. I wish it was like Leaders Day. I don't I don't love the word boss in 2025. Yeah. Britt (04:17) Can we have a for you to end that a little bit? The Dental A Team (04:19) We've rebranded so many holidays and so many names of things. I think this one's definitely on the list of need. But I think of Boss' Day as like Leader's Day. I think that it's just a day to celebrate leadership and it's a day to celebrate today of all days the reason that we have, we'll say jobs, right? The reason that we're here today, the reason that we have a company to work for. And I just think it's really cool to take a moment and a special time to really thank those those people, the entrepreneurs that we work for. And the other day someone said to me like, I'm not an entrepreneur. I'm like, they're an entrepreneur. They own a business. Like they're dentists. know they are entrepreneurs. Just like Kiera is an entrepreneur and she is the leader of this ship and she is to be celebrated today just the same as the rest of you guys are. And Britt and I thought we would take a moment to celebrate Kiera. We will get there. Kiera, don't you worry. Keep listening. We are going to get there. ⁓ celebrate Kiera, but also to just celebrate you guys too and to really highlight some fantastic leadership skills that we've seen come about in our journeys, but also things that we see practices doing that set them apart from other practices in the leadership spectrum. And Britt, I think that it would be wild to start anywhere else. You tell me I might be totally wrong, but I really believe that leadership is a culture that you create. and learning how to hone in leadership, think people kind of start all over the place. They're like, well, start with accountability. I'm like, well, first you gotta start where you want, how do you want to show up? Like, how do you want people to view you? How do you wanna be seen as a company and as individuals? And I think that culture piece, can be hard to understand. I might be like making things up, but I think it's something that really great leaders get. is that they are the culture of the company. And from your perspective, Britt, you've helped create the culture of this company. You're a massive leader within our own company, but you've also worked with many, leaders, even before Dental A Team, to help build businesses, to help build successful entrepreneurial businesses and sectors. What have you seen as just important leadership qualities that really hone in that culture that doctors and owners can take away from today. Britt (06:44) Yeah, I love it, Tiffanie. It truly does start at the top. And I think that's probably one of the most important things for anyone who's an entrepreneur, anyone on the team who's got some sort of influence upon other people, which is pretty much everyone, is to number one, like recognize that, yes, you are a leader. And number two, like you said, recognize that it really does start with you and the impact that you have and what it shapes your culture. I think some of the best leaders that I've had the privilege of being around or working with, I think number one, there's like a confidence humility balance that happens with them because they are confident enough, more confident than I, to like go and take this big chance and go have this business, make that investment, it's gonna be successful. So they've got that strong confidence piece in them. while also realizing that yes, there are human sides sometimes we've got to shape ourselves a little bit to become that leader and create that culture within our team. And so being able to recognize that and acknowledge it and take that responsibility on as a leader, I even have to catch myself doing it sometimes. Right, sometimes, well, it's just, that's the way I am. No, that's not a good answer, right, for something. That's not a, that's an excuse 100%. It's not just the way I am or I'm learning about that. thing or I'm working on becoming better at that thing instead of saying, well, that's just what it is and move on and deal with it because that doesn't get us anywhere. So I think kind of that humility, confidence mix. you know, I think anywhere you go and you've heard it before, right, people remember how you make them feel. And I think really good leaders have a genuine just want for their people to do well as humans and in their job. And it's amazing the power that comes behind that. I'm thinking of, just had the opportunity to see one of my old bosses recently. And just like the excitement he has for what I'm doing now. And I quit, I left his office to come and do this. And he's still so excited about it. I think that goes a long ways for team members and building leaders because it builds confidence in your team around you. and helps you to one, not only build up your team, but also build up more leaders, which everyone needs. The Dental A Team (09:10) Yeah, I love that. love that I actually get to see my boss that I left next Monday. So I'll probably have a similar experience. But I love the way you said that, Britt, that confidence, but with that humble and I kind of as you're as you're talking, my brain's kind of putting it in steps. And it's almost like you've got to develop yourself to the point that you have the confidence to say yes to take that step to run for it. But then the next layer is peeling back enough ego. can't rid of the whole ego because you need some sort of ego. Ego is good, but it can be too much. It's peeling back the ego and realizing that you're not losing confidence or losing status by being humble or by being vulnerable in your leadership. And so I actually find vulnerability to be a space of higher confidence. I feel like the more confident you are, the more vulnerable. Britt (09:54) Mm-hmm. The Dental A Team (10:06) you are able to be with like that true confidence definition. And so it's kind of that like you needed the momentum. It's it's kind of like Brody. He's 17 and he has all of these things that he wants to do and he has all these decisions he's trying to make. But he doesn't have his brain hasn't developed yet enough to see the logistical steps that happen after that decision is made. Like it's like this decision and then the next one. Right. So it's kind of those steps of entrepreneurship is like, had to have enough confidence to make this first decision, but now I'm no longer 17 years old, my brain needs to develop, right? So it's almost like you get here and now you're developing that skill of humble, vulnerable leader and peeling back those layers to say, is now where we're at. And that's where that culture piece comes in. And I think it's where the culture shifts come in for so many practices because we had to hire people, we had to have what we have, and then we get to a point, I would say, I would venture to say three to five years in, you get to the point where it's like, okay, this feels chaotic. How do we back up and almost restart because we're backing up, peeling off those layers, and then adding something back in. And I think, you highlighted that really well. Britt (11:08) Thank you The Dental A Team (11:31) and those characteristics ⁓ being developed over time are like, it's just the only way to really do it. And to think that right off the bat of practice ownership straight out of school, you're gonna have all of those skills is kind of crazy. So I love the way that you had said that. And I think we've all had the opportunity on some level or another to watch each other grow in those spaces, ⁓ but to highlight Kiera in this moment for Boss's Day. she's an incredible boss, is really watching her develop those is something that we all get to take away. So she has that humble vulnerability. Doesn't always come easily and you guys, like you'll stumble. You're gonna have to have some space where you're like, that wasn't my best foot, which it almost was because it created the situation we're in to have the conversation we're having. So I just don't ever look at anything as a total loss. I look at everything as like a step forward. but she's able to do those pieces for us and with us because we're all growing at the same rate she is. We're like a percentage or two behind her, right? But she's leading the pack and creating that culture. if Kiera's turbulent, we're turbulent. If Kiera's, she doesn't even have to be in the company, you guys. Like she does not even have to be here with us, we know. We're virtual. Britt (12:41) Mm-hmm. No. virtual or virtually. The Dental A Team (13:00) Good, yeah, good point because I have a lot of doctors that are like, how do I get this culture to work without me here? This is that space where Kiera has led us in this fight of culture to where we've all been able to pick up those pieces and embody them. We embody who the Dental A Team is and it's not necessarily Kiera. We're not mini Kiras by any mean. We are embodying the Dental A Team culture. so that the company can be successful and we can carry the culture without care of being here. And I think that comes from that next layer, right? We push forward, we have the confidence, peel back the layer, we have the vulnerability, and then we train and teach that by showing and doing, by being. Like, you live it so that people can live. Britt (13:53) Tiff, and as you were saying that, right, that confidence piece, and we've all experienced it. I don't care who you are, right? You've hit that point where like it's just a tough spot. Whether it's a tough thing you learn about yourself, whether it's a tough spot business-wise, right? We hit those tough points and that the confidence that leaders have is the confidence to say, all right, and... We keep going and this makes us better, right? Like that's the confidence to where it's not, they're not backing down, right? Have their moment great. As my brother tells me, you got five minutes, go cry about it and then let's move on from it. You know, something like that. It's like, fill your emotions, let it out, but then it's time to move on and start progressing from here instead of letting that derail us completely. The Dental A Team (14:45) Absolutely, absolutely. And when we're given that availability, it changes and shapes who we are. Because I think then the last thing people want to do is take stuff home to their families. And that's where people come in, they're like, tiff, right, how do I get this work-life balance? I'm like, I hate that word. You guys know that, you've heard me preach about it. We're not going to go down that rabbit hole. This is where it happens though, where you can show up and be respectful, but be yourself and be able to work. through things together, that you don't take things home and then you come to work worse. Like it's this bad spiral. And when the culture does start to shift in that direction, it's having the confidence plus vulnerability to be able to say, we need to have a conversation. Like something's off, we're off. Kiera and do that a lot, right? We'll say something feels wrong. the words aren't matching the tone or like the way I'm hearing them, it doesn't match what I think your intention is, so like, let's squash through that real quick because what happens is if we stay on that space, it's just like a battle of egos at that point and you think I'm showing up confidently, like I'm showing up strong. Sometimes, but mostly we need to be like, wait a second, what is that that I heard? Walk me through that first. That's the vulnerability space, because you might say, well, you said something that really hurt my feelings. Got it, tell me, let's work through it. Britt (16:10) I The Dental A Team (16:12) And I know we have been trained in our lifetime here that work is not a space for emotions, work is not a space for feelings. And that's just not, it's fine if that's what you want your culture to be. And I'm here to stand on the fact that create your culture to be what you want it to be. Our company's culture is to tackle things as they happen. And it's something that we've been able to develop over time. ⁓ with respect to one another and respectful communication. So thank you, Britt. That was beautiful. I think the doctors that we attract and the teams that we attract kind of, I think we attract, like attracts like, and we attract practices that are looking for culture similar to ours or have culture similar to ours and need to step it up a little bit more or just get to that next level. And think now, Britt, is there anything else you wanna add to that before? we start our brag Britt (17:10) I only other thing I would add to that, right, as you listeners are out there, whatever stage that you are in, right, we worked with a lot of leaders as well and people we learned from all the time from our clients and also that we get to help them along that journey of leadership. Because I don't know about you, Tiff, but thinking back on clients, right, I've got clients where the leader they were when they opened the door with four employees is different than the leader they are now. where they're going into multiple locations and have now leaders built up underneath them who do a lot of things for them. I think giving credit to the amount of personal growth and leadership growth that takes to transition within your business to a different stage and a different size even. And so it's a lot of fun for us to be able to be a part of that and help out with that. And also I know a lot of our doctors who come to us and there's a lot of things that as a leader, you cannot complain down. That's just one of the things you can't complain down. And so you've got to have someone to work through things with. And sometimes it's not the prettiest when you're working through those things. And so being able to be that outside person so that our doctors can work through those things with us and we can work through it so that they can go present to their team. as the leader that they want to show up as. That's ultimately who they are, but right, we're all growing and changing. And so it's helping them to be able to have that support, to be able to go and then present to their team as the leader that they want to be. So I think that's the only thing is everyone is always learning. Perfection is never something that you are gonna reach. It's a constant growth that we're looking for. And as we work with our leaders, is the leader you are today. will not be the leader you are in five years. Thank goodness. We will all be better than we are currently. The Dental A Team (19:05) Yeah. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Like, thank goodness I'm not the mom I am today, the same as the mom I was when he was four. Yeah, that was beautiful. Thank you. I totally agree. And acknowledging that, like you said, being okay with it, ⁓ understanding you're not going to be the same as you were and your team shouldn't be either. So I know a lot of leaders will feel held back where they're like, gosh, but my team knows me as this person. And it's like saying, well, my husband knows me as my 20 year old version. Britt (19:11) huh. Okay. The Dental A Team (19:37) self. So me taking these new courses or expanding my thoughts or doing yoga instead of workouts at the gym would be different. How will he view me? It's kind of the same. Like you guys grow together or you grow apart. And if you've got team members that aren't ready to take that next stage with you, that's okay too. Just know if you hold yourself back, you're holding your team back too. So perfect, Brett. I love it. ⁓ so I have, we have, we have something fun for Kiera. I know she listens to these. I know specifically she's going to listen to this one cause it's freaking boss's day. And she knows that something fun is coming out. And what we did today, Britt and I pulled the, ⁓ consultant team specifically, and we asked for one to three qualities that they see in Kiera that she brings to our team as our leader. I thought these would be really fun for Kiera to hear, for Britt and I to talk about, and for you guys to take away as leaders, because I do think that they are, there are so many, are 20,000 words we could choose from, but it is really cool to see how a company has grown and what they're showing up and embodying now. And I wrote them all down for us, Britt, and then I've got a couple that I just want quickly you to kind of expand on for us. There were a few that were repeated, which I thought was really, really cool. One of the ones that was repeated was integrity, doing what they say they're going to do. And that's something that within our company we have had as a piece of our core values for as long as I can remember. And I think for Kiera in general, she works really hard to do what she says she's going to. And if she, for some reason, misses that step, she definitely takes ownership of it. Another one that came up, well, it was kind of worded. in different ways. So it's kind of, it's actually kind of cool because execution and vision came up, which I feel like Kiera is our visionary and we learned, I called her out on it and I love you Kiera. I hope you're listening. You know, I will call you out every single day. When she loses her vision, our whole company spirals. There was a point in our lives where I was like, we just need to know where you want us to go. We just need it. So having that on this list actually made me really, really, really happy. Britt (21:51) Yeah. The Dental A Team (22:02) And I think it'll make Kiera really proud to hear that that was one of the words that came up. But I also think that vision kind of flows in with execution because she executes on the vision, which helps, she executes on most things she puts her foot forward on, but it helps us to execute on the vision as well. But then ⁓ decisive came up and those kind of all clumped together for me in my mind. Decisive, I think Kiera is gonna get a kick out of that one as well. that is something that she has honed a skill in on. ⁓ Accountability, empathy, confidence, passion to make a difference, inspiring, transformational and resilient. well, first off, Britt, what's your favorite leadership quality that was given to us from the team for Kiera, but just for a leader, not necessarily for Kiera. Because we don't need to make it all about her. She's already like blushing over there, but I wanted her to hear these words But what out of out of those what do you feel like you pull out as a baby leader as a grown leader? Like what word stands out to you the most? Britt (23:12) Yeah, I do love that decisive was on there as I know Kiera will love that one on there too. I think that's one of my favorites Tiff to your point. Right, we can't have too many cooks in the kitchen on what direction to go because it really does get wild even within your dental practice too many cooks in the kitchen gets very wild. And so that leader who can be decisive and I think it goes along with vision as well of like The Dental A Team (23:17) Same. Yeah. Britt (23:42) keeping the course of what direction are we going, even though that direction is moving or growing or where are we headed to, and that'll adapt over time. A good team, right? Good team members. All we wanna do is like help you and make it happen. It's kinda like, well, we just, what direction? Because I know if I start going my own direction, it's gonna get wild and I'm gonna be off track. So like what direction? And then, give me a few words and let's go and let's make it happen. And I think that's huge. And I know that that's a tough spot to be in sometimes. Our business owners, our entrepreneurs, you guys have a lot on your shoulders and it doesn't always go recognized. And I know like it's pressure on you sometimes, but keeping, for you to keep a space where you can have that clear direction and be decisive about where we're going is a game changer. The Dental A Team (24:39) I agree. I agree. I think execution goes along with that. And the vision plays such a huge role too, because as you were speaking, I was thinking for visionaries, for entrepreneurs, for people who start businesses, it's very difficult for them to see outside of being a visionary. Just like when you're not a visionary, when you're an implementer, which most team members are not going to be visionaries. You guys are probably on their own companies, just saying. Britt (24:43) Thank Yeah. The Dental A Team (25:06) They are implementers on some level. You are the visionary, but it's very difficult to see the other side. It's like it's difficult for you to put yourself in those shoes. So the visionaries are like, no, like you want space to create because that's what they want. But they do have a very clear picture of what they want, but they don't know how to narrow it down. Right. So it's kind of this like mix and teams sometimes go a little wild. They're like, just tell me and they get into the spin. And so I think that decisiveness, that execution narrows down to the vision. When you know the vision, when you have a clear picture of the vision, that is your go-to spot, you guys. Decisions are so much easier when you know where you're going. When the vision of your practice is super clear, those decisions, big or small, come down to, they match our vision? Does this go with our team values? Does this match our culture? or is this completely opposite of what we're heading towards? Do we wanna add a new product to our product line? Do we wanna add a new procedure? Well, what's our vision? What's our goal? Is this in alignment with what we're working towards? Because then visionaries, you can say yes, no, maybe here's the outline, here's a template, go create. I can be very creative when I know what the direction is. So to your point, Britt, I think those all go hand in hand. I totally agree. And I think it's something that as a company, We've pushed for and narrowed down really, really well. Our style of meetings help, and I know we work with practices all the time to get those narrowed down. We have practices coming into town soon to do just this thing. so those were so perfect. And it's something that we constantly refine. Doctors, think actionable pieces here, leaders, office managers. When I was an office manager, you guys, I told you, I'm gonna see my doc in a week. I love him. He, Debrit, I think we're like the same, like they are just family to us. Britt (27:04) Always a cheerleader. The Dental A Team (27:05) Always a two-year-later, constantly. But I had to be the one that created this stuff, right? Like for slash with him. And so office managers who are here today that are like, yeah, this sounds great guys, but like my doc's not gonna listen to this podcast or my doc's not on the same page as me. That's totally fine. Go create it. Create something so that your team can be decisive in their roles too. when you can narrow down that vision, no matter who you are right now, whatever leadership position you hold in your company, narrow that down and make it easy for everyone, because it's going to make it easier for you too. So, Britt, this went longer than I thought it would. Thank you so much for being here. I love celebrating everyone. And Britt, you're just one of my favorite humans. And I knew you would have so much to pull out of this on leadership side. Britt (27:54) Same Tiff, I mean, Kiera deserves all the credit in the world as someone who like, even I've been here for four years now and Kiera now is different than the Kiera back then and is only getting better and better. So thanks to her. I know she and you owners don't always get a lot of the thanks and support and you deal with a lot of things. So it's a thank you for me, one to Kiera and two to all of you out there who take on that responsibility and that. The Dental A Team (28:23) That was beautiful, thank you. And with that, you guys, go do the things we kinda talked about here too. Go narrow in your vision and your focus. If you haven't narrowed in, go talk to your team about it. Even if you talked about it yesterday, say, hey guys, let's talk about this again. Talk about it enough that that becomes your culture and your drive within your practice. And most of all, go have an amazing Bosses Day. I hope you are celebrated. I hope you feel loved, even if it's just this today and nobody else knows. Shelbi told us, you guys, I'm gonna let you in on a secret. Like that's how I know the date, okay? So you guys, if you're listening and you didn't get the flowers, like this is your flowers, okay? We're all here for it. We're all celebrating each other. And Kiera, like Britt said, we are so, so incredibly grateful for everything you do every single day, every way that you show up for us and the way that you grow us individually and as a team every single day. So with that, you guys, go have a great Boss's Day. Catch you next time.

With Trump's health visibly in decline, attention is shifting to Peter Thiel's invention, JD Vance, who may soon be president. Which means Thiel, a billionaire doomsday prepper who thinks the Anti-Christ is Greta Thunberg, could effectively rule the world. What does Thiel's obsession with the Anti-Christ reveal about how we can resist him? Thiel's worldview isn't just weird Silicon Valley paranoia; it's vintage fascist fan fiction. His ideas trace back to Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt, who justified Hitler's violent purges as necessary for “saving civilization.” Schmitt's argument was simple and horrifying: democracy is too weak, so we need a strongman to suspend the rules. Thiel recycles Schmitt's logic in a twenty-first-century sermon on why democracy itself is the real threat. In Thiel's version, collective action to solve global crises like man-made climate change is the definition of evil. So you know what to do, folks: double down on building collective action. In Part One of our conversation with journalist Gil Duran, of the Nerd Reich newsletter, that tracks Silicon Valley's billionaire Bond villains, we dig into Thiel's apocalyptic delusions, how they shape his politics, and why it's a very big deal that a man this afraid of democracy has his hands in everything from expanding government surveillance to election data. Part Two will be out this Thursday, with a special look at Thiel and Trump's Big Brother–their latest efforts to establish a Chinese-style surveillance state. Want to hear Gaslit Nation ad-free?
