Hyenas aren't scavengers. They're one of the most effective predators on the planet, and their genius is not strength — it's separation. Anyone who has run a business, a family, a team, or a country has watched a version of this play out. Most of us just haven't seen it done with teeth. We'd love to hear from you. Send us your feedback. If you're a dentist and looking for more dental specific content, I have another podcast called, The Sovereign Dentist. I'd love to see you there. Mo...

Send us your feedback. If you're a dentist and looking for more dental specific content, I have another pod...
An active practice in my community is avatar design and upgrades. Think of an avatar the way you would in a game; the version of yourself you load into a given context, complete with skins (how you present), loadouts (the tools, language, and moves you bring), and upgrades (the trainings and reps that level you up). Sometimes we betray ourselves and show up in the wrong skin, with the wrong kit, for the room we're actually in. Sometimes we get it right and catch ourselves mid-swap, cons...
