Jan 500:37:30Tap to summarizeThere is no better way to kick things off in 2026 than to get some inspiration from nature – specifically from Bethany’s Nigerian Dwarf goats! In this episode, Bethany shares the lessons she has learned over the last couple of weeks as she has helped 7 of her goats get through birthing a total of 15 kids.

Transcribe →Holiday How-To
Dec 2200:14:21Tap to summarizeHappy Holidays! With time off (hopefully) in the not-so-distant future, it is important that your patients AND team are prepared for any holiday closure time. Patients should ideally be made aware of any practice closures in advance. Emails, texts, or custom recorded voicemails are the best way to ensure that patients know you are closed AND know what to do if they have a dental emergency. Your team also needs to know the expectations for checking email, voicemail, and text messages while the practice is closed. Listen in to these reminders to ensure that you are fully prepared for any time off this week! 📣December content available! Don’t forget that 2026 Subscription Prices are INCREASING.

Transcribe →Team Holiday Bonuses and Gifts
Dec 1500:43:11Tap to summarizeThis time of year can be incredibly hard for dentists and practice owners because there are so many decisions to make when it comes to showing appreciation for team members. Should I do cash, a gift card, or a bonus through payroll? How much should I pay my team members? Should I do an equal amount or vary the amounts based on longevity? If we do a Holiday party, should I pay the team for the hours? All of the questions and more are covered by Dr. Kuba and Bethany in this episode. The end of the year is an important time to show appreciation, but there is much to consider and weigh out. So, listen in!
