quarter percent or four dollars eighty cents nineteen thirty eight sixty an ounce the euro one point oh nine seven two against the dollar the n one forty three point three seven tom and paul karen thanks so much uh... policy and time key last time his eyes mesmerizing just getting an update on the american economy we dive into y equals g plus i plus c plus and x plus i think i just want the exam steve assured oh joins us from a zero on on the algebra of the american economy how far is the recession away steve well well that's a good question i think it's a function of how quickly the federal reserve can push up short -term interest rates and get the the belly of the curve to move up the steepest or the inversion between two's and five is part of the problem relative to the inversion between twos and tens most of the inversion in the curve is concentrated in that front end of the curve where do you know that the where consumer is actually chanting because you should nation markets so you really know it's up to the the forward structure short -term interest rates and right now it's been resistant to move because the fed keeps on telling us they're going to cut rates even though they're telling us they're going to continue to raise rates they keep on telling us that surely they're going to cut rates and that's a mistake brilliantly explain folks so that the two -year yield is a high yield will get a five -year yield that's a high yield that really changes society there's no question about it how does the unemployment rate work I mean with the rigido analysis there do you get a stick up in the unemployment rate well you're going to need to have that in order to bring down the inflation story everyone was betting that the inflation story would come down because they were betting that you know the owner's equivalent rent component of the cpi would start to reverse you look at the fha numbers we get out this morning and you look at the k shiller numbers we got out this this morning as well this certainly seems to be a bit more resilient in home pricing that anyone is waiting that continued keep up rent and therefore inflation is going to be stickier than the federal reserve has been anticipating and that's part of the problem they've been anticipating this reversal in inflation without a recession and I don't see how you're going to get that in the day -to -day is certainly indicating that's not going to happen all right so steve what do you expect our federal reserve to do here in the next meeting coming up uh you know it would seem at least optically to me odd to after pausing start raising rates again do they care about the optics um again they've gone to a data dependent policy effectively so the data dependent policy if you've got data that's telling you you may have opted to go slowly more a lot more may have opted to quickly uh... to slow down you have to continue to raise rates uh... and so i think it's an optical issue is not the issue reality the is the data telling you if you continue to wait to push short -term retire you're a going to bigger have job to do and therefore you might as well do it earlier this goes back to the bullard concepts of front loading the fed opted to front load and then applause or backed away from its front loading and it keeps on telling everybody they're gonna cut cut rates the mistake at the top of the mistake if they tell everybody they're going to cut rate a mistake if he pscp does not say you know we're going to have a bit of a recession here pscp says everything's be going to great don't worry about it and people watch pscp and the dots why do you think it around three months with a verbal commentary we hear can change day -to -day as we saw in the last couple of weeks with members of the committee flip -flopping steve what you call on the consumer the consumer seems i mean if you just look at restaurants the here in new york i mean if you're not a tom keen it's hard to get a reservation at some of the top restaurant yeah i down was at third avenue the other day thirty avenue and fifty nights and i want i couldn't get a reservation at the mcdonald's six so what do you think that i was a consumer doing see but i mean the consumer is doing fine this is part of the problem you have a tight labor market you're going to have a consumer that does fine when you have a consumer that's going to do find you could have the inflationary pressures that they are you know the fact is that tom i couldn't get a reservation at mcdonald's tell is you mcdonald's at the opportunity to raise prices uh... and that becomes an ongoing process in here here and that's that's the important point that you can't get inflation down unless you create slack in the labor market the fed's trying to do that and it's failing we're going to rip up the script here right now with steven horchudo and we can do it's steven the new zeitgeist of the last ten days is corporations are evil all because they're raising prices to protect margins and that's flowing right into the inflation stickiness in the greater economy is that in the textbooks you know the reality of the situation is you have a you have a political environment that wants consumers to be healthy but they want consumers to have excess disposable income but they do not want to have the ramification which comes with that which which you inflation can't have it both ways and this is part of the problem the laws of economics haven't been rewritten there are a lot of people out there and there are a lot of academics that begin to believe that the laws of economics have been released started with the whole secular stagnation theory and you know it's you to a road since then meanwhile the individual who was responsible for the second second secular stagnation theory uh... has turned completely turntail on particular stagnation but it's still out there and it's still a dominant team in terms of the very very socially conscious members of politics and and steven academia or should i thank you so much of the sort of visit today this is green screen tape improving off

"Did you see this coming that Mr. Montag would go back to the no, no to your point, he had worked at Goldman Sachs, left for Bank of America, helped make it a trading powerhouse. Some would say saved it. Let's not mince words. But remember, when he left in 2021, it was after a string of news that really questioned culture the under Tom Montag. There's a few things going on. It's his grand return to Wall Street, the board of Goldman Sachs, there's only company, about just over a dozen people already on this board, very closely knit board, at a time where there are a lot of questions about the culture the at Goldman Sachs. Remember, we're only a couple of weeks away from the story that was in the journal entitled Goldman Sachs is at bank, the bank is at war with itself. So does Tom Montag, who has long worked with David Solomon seen as a closer ally to him, start to bring the bank back together and really secure the idea here that David Goldman couldn't bring the ring back together? Well, in the upset of Goldman over the last three or four days, we're not going to go into all the soap opera about it in that. Solomon was at Bear Stearns, and then he and Montag know each other, right? So Solomon brought him back. In that process, who does Solomon go to to say, I want the guy from Bank of America to come back to Goldman Sachs? Well, it's interesting because it's not just Solomon. Yes, chairman he's the of the board at Goldman Sachs, but there is still an entire board here. And you think about, you know, who are the key players? One of those very key players is the secretary to the board, John Rogers, who has worked for CEO after CEO over at Goldman Sachs. And the sense here is that you really can't lose his confidence. Goldman Sachs is not going to make fickle decisions here. Yes, there were huge pivots in strategy. Yes, there's been a lot of griping, but this is year five for David Solomon. So certainly a sensitive topic. Kate Kelly's article in 2021, huge long article. And Tom Montag is a dinosaur from Wall Street. He's like a dinosaur like me. He's doing better than me. But you know, Montag from another time and place talking work about from home and all that. He was dead set against it. What's he going to bring to the board? He's not going to tell them how to construct swap contracts. Well, one thing that's interesting. One is just confidence in David. That's number one. Number two, and this is, by the way, a very astute way to explain the story here from the scoop from Sridhar Natarajan and Catherine Doherty. Because remember, this is, again, a question of the next five years at Goldman, not the last five under David. But remember, while we talk about consumer, you talk about it all the time. It's a drop in the bucket. It had been a drop in the bucket Goldman's for revenue, they had been performing and beating on their core business lines. They have expanded their lead and mergers and acquisitions in the last couple of years. Their trading desks have done extraordinarily well. Then what's problem? the This is what I don't get. I mean, over the weekend, there was a lot of gossip, just outright gossip, which we don't do on this bank. In all of its centers around OMG, David screwed it screwed it up, has he? Well, the gossip has been for months, isn't it? Not even just this weekend. I don't know if you've been hanging out in the Hamptons too, too, Tom. I know you like to talk about it, but at the same time, remember there's a question of why does Goldman need to be something else? Why can't Goldman just do what it does best, win at trading, win at investment banking? I think that's currently the existential question for Goldman. I mean, what is Monte going to do on the board? I don't understand. David Vinnier, I get an idea what he does on the board, the former CFO. I get that. What does he do on the board? Cheerlead? Pretty much. I mean, listen, one of questions the big here is we've heard this griping that came out of Goldman for months now, right? A lot of leaking to press, a lot of issues. Huge. Yeah. But the question here is when do those problems become an actual business problem for Goldman Sachs? There's a sense here that there needs to be a bringing of people together to stop the complaining and to stop the leaks so that this doesn't become a bigger problem. Was he pushed out of Bank of America? That's sort of, in Kate Kelly's story, it's sort of a variable here. When you talk to Sree, I mean, they go out for drinks, drinks folks, you know, like they work, Sonali works like a six hour day and heads out for beverages. And there's the gossip. Was he pushed out of Bank of America? So two things here. I went back to see exactly how this had it happened. And remember, when he had stepped down, he wasn't the only one to step down. Anne Finnegane had stepped down around the same time and it was painted as a way to kind of clear for the next set of ranks. But remember, it did come in the wake of that very, very explosive to story the point that not only Bank of America, but Brian Moynihan, the CEO of Bank of America, had publicly defended Tom Montag pretty seriously. And remember, these weren't just work from home issues. They're questions about whether women were allowed to be objectified in that culture. There were people who were afraid of losing their jobs. We will see. running We've got a green on the screen right now. On the Nasdaq 100, I got a very constructive tone to the tape. This is off of four or five hours ago. We're waiting for news from Russia. Maria Tadeo in Brussels looking at that very carefully.

Tom Tom, Lisa, Moscow lifted counter -terror measures put in place during mercenary leader Evgeny Bergosian's short -lived mutiny. Bergosian is said to have relocated in Belarus, but that is still unclear. Bergosian's turnaround from his advance toward Moscow defused the biggest threat of Vladimir Putin's almost quarter -century grip on power. Bloomberg's executive editor for international government Matheson. Rosalind Vladimir Putin, we've not heard from him since Saturday when he came out to denounce this mutiny.

Having multiple multi-million viewed baked doritos commercial including one that lasts. I looked at seventy million views. What the hell monster stat. man. I personally am proud of him. You know what i mean. Not proud of them. I just ate at german coming off of that last story. We were talking about work life balance. And how young horses is doing it right. Of course i mentioned yesterday are twitch stream. We'd be talking about work life balance today for mental health. Because i'm doing a whole thing with cloud nine presence of mind is the show doing with alanine. Khalif we were. We did twenty five minutes yesterday. A little segment me and mike about it today. Twenty five more minutes if you wanna learn more about work life balance mental health and why mental health. She's going be something you're ashamed of and this should be something we all talk about. You can go to see. Nine that gee-gee slash greg p. o. M. greg palm for presence of mind but where i'm going with all this work life balance talk about how young horses appears to be doing it right. We're gonna do number three and talk about how it turns out retro studios wasn't doing it right. Metro-wide primes crunch was so bad that it nearly broke retro studios where reading from aegean dot com. Where logan plant rights metro Prime is nearly twenty years old but in a new interview it's shedding light on the development of the groundbreaking series former retro studios developer. Mike wiccan went on episode of the kiwi talks podcast to discuss crunch within retro during the development of metro prime as well as the effort from nintendo to change the metro prime trilogies writing to fit within the metro prime universe in this case it dates back to two thousand to win the austin texas based retro students was developing the first ever three near metro game in partnership with nintendo. We can who worked on the game said. That crunch was a big problem during the development of metro-wide prime quote. I a- two times where i was there for forty hours straight with one hour of sleep and then a couple of thirty six hour days wickens said the last nine months were pretty much we the last nine months we were there pretty much. Twenty four seven working game. End quote after metro-wide prime shipped. We can said morale was low with retro retro ranks. in fact according to wickham many team members were ready to quit in himself even had multiple job offers on the table. Then things changed when the studio when nintendo stepped in quote to their credit nintendo realize what was going on and they came in and took over the company. They bought it out. We can said. After nintendo bought retro intent of america's michael kellogg was put in charge wiggins said he s richard employees to give him a few weeks to turn it around it eventually quote restored faith in the leadership. The turbulent passive retro studios pre nintendo was well documented. The studio has a history of layoffs crunch and unrealized ambition. Prior to nintendo's decision to step in and put kellogg in charge who is still the president russia studios today. Tim crush socks. This is ridiculous. Forty dollars you know what i mean. This is again where it's one of those. I think as much as crunch gets talked about now it and people like why do you talk about it so much. I think it's because it used to be this bad. And i'm not saying it's not as bad somewhere we don't know about or anything else but like crunch is gotten better. I think the more people have talked about is. This really is an acceptable. Well you just got to learn from these lessons right like the this being taught about two thousand two like that's a long time ago and it's like that that it's also not that long ago but you'll give them some only been around for a handful of decades so with this. We need to kind of learn some lessons and the more these things are being talked about like as bad as they are and they're absolutely horrible but it's like if we weren't talking about this right now we would know you know so it's like i feel like the these new stories back to back like are just a good example of the shift that is happening and it's i don't even want to say it's slow. I think it's actually in the grand scheme of things happening really quickly where There's a lot of things go hand in hand whether is work life balance whether it is mental health whether it is just like the understanding of what could be expected from video games in any way. I think there's a much better understanding. There's a much greater ability for people to of any kind of range able to create video games as an indie developer if they wanted to because the tools out there. There's a lot less like gates to get behind in order to get into game development so with more developers out there with more access to information and knowledge and ability to kind of have different teams pop up like there's going to be a lot more people that are all of a sudden in charge of a team making a video game and they're they never planned for that but because of these conversations they're going to be a little bit more well equipped to from the ground level. Make sure that the teams being ran. Well making sure that their team is being treated fairly so that it doesn't turn into an issue when hopefully become a major developer. One day yes one hundred percent right. It has to be something moving from the core and you have to have it. i think. Come from the ground up. And so i think the fact that more people are willing to talk about it now and out these practices that are you know a abusing the workers when those workers eventually get promoted right are able to change it now but get promoted up. They're able to say we don't want that. We don't want to build similar. We talking about earlier with work by kind of funny right as we don't want people to feel the way we felt and again i'm not trying to dam is genus is where we work before right but it was that mentality in your own head. We want to drive out in that comes from a boss level right of like..

"Left in our inbox. It would be very difficult to do our job in four days. Over the past year we've experienced and furloughs due to budget issues because of Covid and we've actually had four day work weeks and those four day work weeks make completing our job very difficult. We're working with biology and when mosquitoes are emerging and breeding, we really need as many days in the field as we can to monitor and control mosquito populations for the Public health. So, Alex. We got several people saying this doesn't work for for what I do. How feasible is the four day work week for jobs where it's not a matter of getting the same amount of work done in less time. It's a matter of being on the job for the hours you're needed. Right. Okay. So you know, there were some places that have moved to shorter work weeks that actually have had to hire more people. Um, you know, um, nursing homes are a great example where they've moved. Certified nurse's assistants the kind of front line workers in that industry. 2 30 hour weeks while still paying them 40 hours Now you need CNN's 24 7, You know, But what? What places that have done this have found is that You save so much money on lower turnover on recruiting fees or having to pay, you know temp agencies at the last minute that hiring more people actually almost pays for itself. And then for the auto industry example, I would point to two places. One is or is a car dealership in Maryland that moved to a four day week. And in a couple months that it did that before the general manager left had amazing success. There's also in Sweden, Um Toyota Gothenburg has operated on six hour day, six hour days for its mechanics for nearly almost 20 years now, and there are one of the highest performing facilities. Toyota facilities in the entire world. Um, and so, you know, I think that it is so you know, there are always kind of logistical and technical issues. You've got to work through an economic and sort of financial stuff. But but it turns out that those are solvable problems as opposed to immovable obstacles. Professor Honeycutt. You visited Battle Creek, Michigan while researching your book. That's the home of Kellogg. Why did you go there? And what did you learn about our attitudes about work? Well, Kellogg was a leader in your work reduction. And in the beginning of the Great Depression, he reduced working hours in his plan to six hours a day rather than the, uh three or four day work week. His his solution was for, uh, six hour shifts and in his cereal plants there in Battle Creek. He puts it in in place, uh, as a way of, uh, of aiding of doing his part, hiring more people doing during the Great Depression. As part of an unemployment and solution, and the six hour day was in place until 1985 at least for some workers. So, um, I've interviewed hundreds of workers there and Kellogg's asking them what they thought about the short our While possibility on the dream of short, our was certainly still alive there in Battle Creek when I got there, Uh, my question was, why did it end? And I think there is some indication that again that we we changed attitudes about work and leisure. That work has become an end in itself over the 20th century leisure has been has become widely suspect is something trivial or not important, rather than the sort of the goal of the economy. So are those changes I saw in Battle Creek. I saw that experiment in the six hour day work they produced as much In six hours as I did an eight hours over the course of the six hour experiment, so it certainly worked in Battle Creek. The short our idea. We've got just about a minute here. We got this message from Daniel on Facebook. Who says I'd settle for 9 to 5 Monday through Friday, with no one call and getting paid for every hour I work, and he has a point. Even that bar isn't being met for a lot of people. Alex are beginning ahead of ourselves by talking about a four day work week when people who technically work five days a week find themselves working six or seven days a week. I don't think so. You know, I think that if we're talking about kind of resetting, resetting the standard for what a work week looks like and so, um, I think that's and even companies that still have to work. Five days can learn a lot about how to be more efficient. How to collaborate better from the companies that do make that shift. We're talking about the movement for a four day work week with Alex paying author of Shorter Work Smarter Better, and Last Year's How Natalie Nagel, co founder and CEO of the software company, Wild Bit and University of Iowa professor Benjamin Hunnicutt, the author of Free Time, The Forgotten American Dream. We're also talking to you, Jeremy, send us an email. I run a software company, And while we haven't switched to a four day work week, we began adding an extra holiday per month in response to pandemic stress on the team. People are happier, work harder and enjoy life more. It's been a great trial for us. Moving to a four day work week, and Louisa emailed.

I was here yesterday from the shit you were. Yeah, I know mad, but it's not the fourth of July in Berlin. Romain the shed. What is it like to have an orchestra? Fantastic facility, and we should point out this was the first shell Tom. It was not in the head. So was out in western Massachusetts for the beautiful Berkshire. This is more towards where there's more Yankee fans and Red Sox fans remain Nobody The real cannons out there, actually, even louder there because of the hills sort of trapped. That sounds very cool. That's all everybody wanted to hear. It was okay, Well, there we are to get started. 105 Millimeter howitzers? Yes, very literally. 10. Ft from my area was one of these two gentlemen. Guys have done it. They've been out to the I've never gone because they just don't think I You know, Tom, I'm sure they would have you. Yeah, well, yeah. No, I don't think so. Actually. Future is negative. Two. NASDAQ goes the other way is remain predicted 60 minutes ago, a little lift to the market and remain. This is the grinding market. Listen, the data check right now to get to Mr L. Yeah, You got the 43 40 there on the S and P futures. Here. You look at euro dollar And, of course, the 10 year yield remains unchanged. But the real story that a lot of people going to be talking about today is this bump up that we've seen in crude oil right now You're looking at 76 46 years on the New York prices here. W t I, of course Brent crude doing its thing as well. Yeah, There we go. And with the data, I'd say the yield market really interesting. I do want to know we didn't talk about in the last hour. But the dynamics of this economy, the efforts of the Fed and the overnight repo market. This is really inside. Baseball expanded out almost $1 trillion in the last three days. It's come in a little bit. It will be stunning for Global Wall Street folks to see where overnight repo goes. Over the next two days and really over the next two weeks as well. Matt Miller, I just got to touch upon it as well. It is a celebration of English football for Euro 2020 met. I mean they couldn't have hoped. For two games like we're going to get today and tomorrow in your Europe. Especially today, Right? Italy, Spain, Arguably the two best teams in the entire tournament will square off tonight and and that could provide us depending what happens tomorrow with an absolutely Uh, fantastic match for feral on Sunday. I'm actually flying home on Saturday to New York and hoping to watch the match with Pharaoh on Sunday. If it's Italy, England Don't know who he roots for. Well, that just tearing apart and clear Now he votes for Italy. I think on that as well. I would say to our American audience like me, they can't find it on the network. This is a huge deal, and we'll of course follow with good spirit with with John Farrow through the week as well right now, and this is a joy I really wanted to come out of the fourth of July. With a vision towards where are we? He gave us a vision out of the financial crisis. Daniel Albertson, age of Oversupply was hugely acclaimed, deservedly acclaimed as well and we speak to him now in this pandemic. Of undersupply. Dan Alpert. Are you concerned that we are under supplied right now? Well, I mean, clearly we have some bottlenecks and these are sorting themselves out. But let's face it. We've now been through several months of news and headlines that are all focused on these enormous surges and prices in areas that Are now well known, uh, what is what's going to happen over the next several months as we're going to see the resolution of those problems, and suddenly we're going to be hit with headlines that say Just the opposite, Right? Is it Was the inflation scared? Just the bubble. Was it passing fad? Is it Are we back to Same old, same old, um and the same issues are going to crop up again, which is how do you transfer or transmit? Uh, economic growth to inflation over the longer term. Coming up into the fall. We're going to experience something that I don't think the markets are quite prepared for, Um, and that is a potential contraction in personal incomes. Result of obviously the curtailment of all of the government support that ends on September six. Now we still have 14 million people receiving some form or another of advances. From the government each week. We know that those people are that number is shrinking every week and by September six, it's going to fall to, you know process, possibly between two and three, which is Normal level two and three million. Um at that point, the question is will the jobs those people have succeeded to to the extent that they have found jobs going to replace the same income they were making before? So are we going to see Dan when these employment benefits run out? Job openings fill up quickly as the jolts report going to look a heck of a lot different in October that it does. Tomorrow. You know, As I wrote in the times a few weeks back, there's no question that this period has enabled people to stay out of the labor of the jobs market. And continue on benefits. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, because I think the proof in the pudding over the longer term is going to be whether or not those jobs really exist at wages that fall above the reservation wages of a lot of people where they're actually willing to get up and go to work. You're not going to get people, especially after this pandemic. All that eager to make 10 $11 an hour working in a job that only offers 25 26 hours of work a week. It's getting very hard to to pry them back into labor force. At some point, of course, people are going to work just to live. But that's not going to be a pretty picture, either. So the real question is what What is the fall going to look like? And we're going to enjoy the summer too much, All of us. I was on the beach yesterday. Everybody's enjoying themselves so much. None of this is really going to come into focus. Anyway, I got got to. We got to stop the show here right now. Dan Alpert. You're on the beach yesterday. Can't you see my kid? What do you got? You gotta I don't know where he was Hamptons or, you know. Are you surfing in the Hamptons? What are you doing? No, I was I was at my my club of, uh Of 27 years club that dates back to 18 86. Just Velcro. A gin and tonic into your hand. Is that what they do? I think we drink. We drink a Southside there. Yeah. Okay. Remain continue, Please. We played up like a rum sacks..

The focus the focus from november of two thousand nineteen on was like we needed a beat this number and then we close three months later. As like. how am i gonna ever cover. Because we didn't know what it was gonna be like when we reopened but it just kind of worked out so now we collect like last month we to three hundred forty thousand dollars. It's like how do you how do you jump that much. From a year prior but dissecting it out was adding five more chairs adding a fulltime associated to free at my time so some meat you know quick. Check in exams all emergencies in our practice. Now that are not related to procedures. I'm involved in. Don't need to see me anymore. All new patients also don't need to seem anymore unless they're specifically want an implant or want to have their teeth straight into a full mouth rehab so we've kind of filtered away a a number of things that would normally take up my time so having more chairs having whole time associate and then we turned on the type of marketing that at least two consultations. So there's this coming out of utah. Which i think you should maybe have on your podcast at some point in time or introduce to our group but that he has called. Do i know it's called do marketing. Daw and his guys name. Is dewey denting and people. We may wanna look them up and i'll give them a heads up But he runs these marketing campaigns for teeth. Today and you have to have a virtual consultant or virtual system that your employees that can handle all the volume of leads and she talks to fifty people a month and then she filters down to fifteen people to actually come into my office and have real consultation. 'cause they'd been prepped for the investment. It's gonna take an you know what they're looking at having done and of that. If you work with this group they try to guaranteed. You'll have a million dollars in extra revenue by working with them. Wow it at the time and they stayed there most times. We'll do it in a year so adamant in one year so in some months i'll spend six thousand dollars on marketing with this group and i'll have one hundred forty thousand dollars in implants so it's a really strong. Roi the own. This is the first marketing i've done. It's been so intensive successful that it's going to take me three more months just to clear my schedule to be able to handle what i'm wanting to do. These patients that. I don't have the now to see to do the concepts that i want to do because we just didn't we didn't anticipate it being the successful so i had a huge up. Click the last three months but now for the next two months. Don't have any time. I scheduled to do all these consultations. So we're now trying to reverse engineer. Mike scheduled thrust so i could just do surgery. Wow yeah so that's been agape ginger. So he's niche pte all on x. Restoration it martin campaigns. He was a smart person that i think went into this for practice and then realized how successful it was a credit system around now always that system in marketing so when you said virtual assistance. This is somebody. That's offsite is somebody that lives in your town or works in your practice and handles these leads. Or how does that work. So it's a an employee of mine. The decided she needed to be home and so she works from home but she's able to do six hours a day four to six hours day between her hours with their kids but she is a google phone number so all hours of the day that these phone calls are generated. They go right to her her phone and then she answers. It answers the initial consultation questions and in schedules a facetime like we're having right now to have a a real consultation with them but she has the i meet and greet with our patients over the like a real zoo meeting just to go through all their questions and then if all their questions are the questions that would actually lead to a real patient ben. She schedules cheer time with me. And then i would just take a cone beam and i talk with him for ten minutes to an hour. Depending on how the conversations going and then we get the financed or work through financing are pros and cons and then they move forward but you wanna have a dedicated employees. They can have the facetime and a dedicated phone. That just handles all these phone calls. 'cause i'll get an email numerous times a day in the morning at night that she's scheduled at the consulates consulates scheduled concert and then we're just looking at a scheduled for like it every time i see it. It's like you know twenty five thousand thirty thousand twenty. Five thousand that's sterile. All these leads are mostly could think they need a whole new mouth of dentistry. So yeah not not always the case right not always the case. I mean some people really just need a whole new. You know a lot of five crowns one in planner. Three canals and five crowns. But i'd much rather be doing that then. Every hygiene patient. I see now. I want to help them.

I stopped competitively swimming. When i was twenty. Twenty one c can imagine that. Was you know a long time. That's that's where i learned. My grit and hardworking goal. Setting a swimming is extremely difficult. It's disciplined and like. I was swimming over twenty four hours a week. You know just with practice. Six days a week Two to three days were doubles. Like five and a half hour. Six hour days swimming with weightlifting to So that sort of taught me like resilience had to work hard. If you do what you set your mind you can get at things. But meanwhile while this was all going on like my dad was big into technology so like i was blessed to grow up with leg I've so remember like palm pilot I i Ipods iphones i like was infatuated with technology. And he would show me on this technology but like living in the dc area like it didn't don occur to me like oh like there's technology jobs. It was more like a like you know. If you're in technology you have to be like a software engineer in like you know. That's it but i love them.

Maybe working like a four day week or working a six hour day at first to sort of baby. Step back in that. Actually like we should be doing that same thing now and we should be doing it for our kids to eight. It's much it's a. This is not necessarily a time. I think for a giant band-aid rip off right like our kids need to also get used to things and it helps to do transitions in baby steps. That really does the other thing. That i've learned that i'm saying a lot more than i used to is. Not just that. We need to be transparent about our parenthood with our colleagues but also like the other side of the coin. The inverse of that is that it's okay that our kids have seen us work really hard and be really stressed out about it and have some successes and have some failures and the best way for our kids. I think to be okay with that is for us to really contextualize for them. And this is even little kids kids as young as three can understand. You know why mommy is working so hard right now. Like why daddy had to close the door for a couple of hours to get through a big project like actually tell them what's happening. Tell them about your colleagues. Make these characters in your life and this work that you're doing real to them in a way that that really models at and then you feel like you're actually parenting while you're working to Love tip i remember.

Kind of what mommy does it work which resulted you. Have to go back to listen to the episode. To hear the whole store led it basically resulted in one of her kids taking her to school one day when asking what his mom does says she fires people. You're saying actually.

You know five thousand dollar of or they can afford a crown and you know these people need work and our duties as healers to you know were there and do a good job with you. Know what their budget is. So i found it. you know. Sometimes they just can't afford it brown and it's either you know them living in ain or mortgaging their house they get around and you big fella and you get good at doing so so i think i think it really shows you some compassion and You earn new skills. Yeah i agree meant especially when you're doing. What do you have any advice on. How can we make sure we don't get screwed over to say okay. I'm gonna take august advice. And i'm gonna you know i to do two years working for associated ships. How do we know we're not about to god. This is the word. I'm just doing all the time now. This is yeah. I mean it wasn't associate. You sometimes have no choice. You know and and i think that if you're paid on like a base you know you're going to have to deal with white you deal with most offices give you a base versus percentage of collections. And bad swear a dubious. Nature's where they oh. Yeah we'll give you you know twenty or thirty percent of collections by your collections are hmo brophy's so you're never gonna get that so. I think just having an honest discussion as to the type of asians were going to have in an associate position is really important where i find a lot of Newbies or getting kind of hose is the old dentist saying. I'm kinda burned out of Associate eventually in a bind the out and then what happens is the associated does super well and won the practice starts may money in also the dentist is re energized about dentistry in so the either one drag out a buy out or to the base the price of the buyout a found a new production instead of the old russia so let's say Doing only four hundred thousand. Socio comes in really cranks and bumps that up to eight hundred thousand bowl instead of paying a percentage of hassle. Four hundred thousand. They're now paying. A percentage on you know have eight hundred dollars which you know is not fair as so i think that if you are in that buyout situation best to set the price when you start you know and say okay. This practice were excellent dollars based on the last three years of production. And that's going to be my by rice. Yeah man but that takes a lot of confidence to say that no like especially if your brand new coming out of school or something like that. Yeah but i mean in the same regard. It's pretty easy to get host so long as discussion with the doctor. If the doctor is an honest person then they're gonna say yeah you know That school or or you know. This is what we're were doing you know and at least you know that But yeah i can't tell you. How many associated doxa talked me in the past a supposed to buy this guy out. It's now been four years instead of two years and he's not a sad. I don't want to retire now in so you just wasted all that time. Yes have that all got you at the very beginning to get. That's good advice man. Okay so then you moved. La best forward now. You said you bought two practices and the merge them talking about that so you started the first one. How how far off was that from your association. Yeah so you know. I only associated for about two years and then i mean i did my tv. Your stomach vr in nineteen ninety eight so in europe after and then i bought my practice near two thousand so in perfect situation. This was you know sixty five year old guy who has limited practice down to three six hour days. A week wasn't doing terrible. It wasn't doing huge amount as is collections. About three hundred thousand. I'm and Innuendo didn't extract cheese. Good guy saw a guy in so that practice in grew it from your three hundred thousand too early about nine hundred thousand in a few years right expanded it you know. I worked there three days a week. And i associated just to make ends me for two days Eventually you know stop associating and worked an extra day at four days a week and and that was good and You know one thing. That's pretty cool about la and prequel about dentistry. General is. let's say. Want to retire by your. Maybe your retirement account is where wants to be or you're just kind of bored so there's a of dentists that will remove their backed as into another dentist office or specialists off as maybe work like two days old so there is an opportunity each just by the charts another dentist. So he was renting out from air-raid honest and Baseball his charts in mood. All those patients over. I will say the patient retention wasn't rate so probably about fifty sixty percent but he was ready to retire and just not treating the stuff you probably should treat and so there was a lot of production that you could get from that you know about funny fact. He turn his staff from like or by team members to just an office manager so he didn't have in dallas and As a result he wasn't great at a x-rays so winter asiad mex- he would actually refer them varied honest for an app amax. And so you know. Probably may monthly payments chest xrays. So so that worked really god. Wow so then so the first practice you did. You took over rate. You got his practice. Then the second one you off the charts you said yes. Bother patients basically so when a dental office. You're buying you know the goodwill of the practice so the patient charts ovhly some of the team members that the patients like come to your office by also buying old stuff right. You're by at least olympic events so the front desk and the walls inside. Iran's probably small dental chairs and sold amalgamated irs are oppressors as well so our had office an ira added team. So you really need is team. Which his life was off Retire anyway so i You didn't need all that other stuff. So as a result the fact as rice was reasonable out..

It's predominately solid which means it doesn't get to make a magnetic field and once it didn't have a magnetic field anymore, the solar wind just sandblasted the atmosphere away. So that's ours doesn't have much of an atmosphere and we do. Right? Right. So I decided the the Erin e r i d, which is what I what they what he calls home World Cup has to have a really strong magnetic field, right? I mean just an absurdly strong magnetic field to be that close to a star and still deflect all the stuff that's going to like you know that would took away its atmosphere. Something like, okay? So that's an absurdly strong magnetic field the way you do that is by spinning really fast so I'm like, okay, the planet spins really fast. I said like they've got like a six-hour day off. And and since it's made predominantly of rockets about the same density as Earth but it's eight times. The mass I was able to calculate, okay well this would be the radius and therefore the surface gravity is about 2 to 2 and 1/2 jeez. And then I'm like all so it wouldn't have lost really any atmosphere over time and it probably would have collected nearby atmosphere. Might even be robbing some gases from the nearby Stars so I'm like, okay, so it's kind of a sick ass atmosphere off and also it's really hot, right? Sorry. So that this is the native environment of of this biosphere so Rockies. Let's see. So Rocky lives, you know, he his I mean he's called he but they're hermaphrodites but his native environment is like two hundred and ten degrees Celsius which is like 450 degrees or so Fahrenheit. He's like a 29 times, Earth's atmospheric pressure, right? What else. He's oh yeah. His atmosphere is almost entirely ammonia love. Just I can just smell it. Yeah, and also in such a thick atmosphere there. Biosphere is basically like the sunlight doesn't get to the surface on on their Homeworld so the way their bios are works. The atmosphere is so thick is basically is similar to an ocean. So, there is Airborne life, like, single-celled, organisms in the upper atmosphere that absorbs sunlight, and like reproduce that wage. And then there's life a layer down that eats that life. Then a layer down below that, that he'd satellites and so on. So, at the surface where you have the, the larger fauna you off Predators.

Just like we did and wage. There's no sunlight that reaches the surface, they never evolved eyes. They do not have a sense of sight and Rocky the character is very surprised at when he finds out that humans do off right from Lucky's point of. Now what they do have is really, really good hearing. They have they they can, they can see basically with sound so much so that like, you know, Rocky can fully understand is three dimensional environment, just from ambient background noise, which seems ridiculous Until you realize that we fully understand off our three-dimensional environment due to ambient radiation. It's it's, it's astounding. And in the Wonder the wonder that he has and I have that they were even able to explore space without being able to see it is often amazing. Yeah, I love Rocky.

"I love the words that you're using it as someone who knows several languages and grew up in many cultures language matters. It really matters and sometimes you can't express it and when you can't then then your marketing message does does suffer. Just what are your thoughts on that. Yeah everything amen. Everything you just said about. Language that is language is the foundational philosophy or practice that we're doing with our clients because You know it says in the bible In the beginning was the word. Well that's true and branding as well is that if you don't have the language right your infrastructure your amplification your marketing. Your culture even is going to have a dissonance to it that is going to be expensive. It's going to either produce deceit or boredom or it's going to be unsustainable so what we believe in what we believe in as a process and we've honed over. The last six years is what we call a route session and this is a dedicated day. Usually about a six hour day to uncover primarily uncover the language of the brand and there's three components to this language that are the most essential. Like when you have these three. Then you then you have the you have the the beginnings of a casserole called brand number one is understanding what your actual mission is. Not your mission statement mission. Statements are usually just evidence that someone had a meeting that something that nobody remembers her lights. So yes we know that you can purchase a whiteboard. We understand it and it ends up being kind of mad libs in that so the the mission is is not the first thing out of your mouth related to What you're telling the marketplace but it is part of what you're offering them. You're offering them an invitation to your mission and you were showing the world. How hey if. You have. A similar mission using nike as example nike and none of in their mission they're not trying to get trump supporters..

"Now, Alex Bang. Well, Alex, welcome back to technician. No, thanks. It's great to be back. I must say that before I even cracked the cover. I love the title shorter. Work better, smarter and less. Here's how it's like, Yeah, work. Better work smarter, work less so I'm going to ask you one question. That's my part of working less. And you're going to talk for 30 minutes. I'm gonna ask you a question. You just talk. OK? Is that work? That's great to me. But you know that's not gonna happen didn't work less. So you know what I was looking at in this book are companies that have shortened their work weeks, right? They've gone to four day weeks or six hour days without cutting salaries or without reducing productivity or product or profitability or alienating their customers. And so the big story that I'm telling Is how across Whole bunch of industries in companies ranging from two people to 2000 for these experiments are taking hold, and they're demonstrating that it's possible. Without a huge amount of, you know, investment in technology, or, you know, big spending or huge disruptions to kind of redesigned the work day so that people are able to use technology better to collaborate better to be more thoughtful and therefore Do five days worth of work in four days. I remember taking one of my sense to college, and they had all the majors for particular school in one auditorium with the students, parents and Was always everyone is listening. Everybody was all very exciting First Day school and the Dean stood up and said, a number really interesting things. But what stuck with me is he was talking to the students, and he said You have to understand. You have 2.5 to 3 hours each day, and you've got to find that time. That's the time that you really do. Well, you're operating on all cylinders. It doesn't last longer than this. Some of you. It's going to be the morning some noon some night. You can't be hanging out with your friends. You know, you've got to find out. Where you were. Three hours is that was like, I don't think my son has three hours yet, But when he does, where's mine? Where's yours? It sort of fits in with what you're saying. You're supposed to be at work for eight hours. You got three good ones. You know that Zoe's shockingly wise dean or if your son had, but You know, I think that he really is the case. First of all that, um most of us have Period of maybe four or five hours tops per day when we're at our creative or cognitive peak, when we're able to focus, most honor, most important problems and one of the things that Yeah, and people. People who are Incredibly creative and prolific and yet work far fewer hours than you know. Then, then most of us think are necessary to do to do good work. Figure out What those hours are and they organized pretty much their whole lives around getting the most out of them, and what companies do is something similar right on the many of them. Set aside periods of the day where you don't have to answer email or talk to people or get on the slack. It's perfectly okay to be a little bit antisocial and to focus on the stuff that really matters in that day. And it's incredible when you all do that how much more you're able to get done both individually and collectively. Is that our or those hours have toe all line up for everybody? You know, preferably. Um, And I think that it is the case that sleep researchers will tell us that Most people have a set, You know, sort of a set period in the day when they're at their best, and there's there's not a gigantic gigantic variation in most of population. There are few people who are genuinely night owls and a few people who really are total early birds. But for most of us if you set aside those pier, you know a period between Let's say 9, A.m. and noon. Most of us can get amazing amount done. And I think that we're at the point right now. Where Most offices are like a carnival of distraction. And so it's almost as if if you set aside any three hour period and eliminated those those distractions, people could get an awful lot done. You know, nobody has yet tried to hire people with the same krone type. So that s O that you could maximize this effect. But, you know, maybe one day when companies start thinking about how to go to three day weeks or something. They might do that right now, though, I think that you know most of us, most of us gonna follow common sense, and we turn out to have fairly common rhythms. And so, um and And we all therefore you get the benefit from this relatively simple organization in the day. What's in it for companies to reduce the number of hours that does this sort of counter into? You know, the companies that have been doing this are mainly ones where There. There are big issues with recruitment and retention. So software industry design firms, advertising agencies, restaurants very interestingly, you know, places where getting and keeping good people is a tremendous challenge. It's also Challenge, especially for women workers, You know, particularly ones who have kids. They see big drop offs in the number of women who come back when they have little kids. And Among those who do their ability to continue climbing up, you know, sort of climbing up the ladder. They also are interested in creating work places that are more sustainable and were creative that are designed not to You know, get as much work out of people in a short period, burn them out and then replaced them, but rather see themselves as places that can, you know that can invest in people's lives and in people's careers. And I think that many of them are smaller place smaller companies that are competing for talent with very deep pocketed competitors. And so many of these startups cannot offer the same sorts of salaries that The big companies in Silicon Valley you're in London can offer but what they can provide is ah, four hour day and for workers who are Little more experienced, who have maybe done a few years at Ah big consulting company or software company. They've slept under their desks for some projects. They can see that this isn't really sustainable for them. And maybe they also recognize that some of those late nights were not a result of, you know, incredible, passionate inspiration, but the schedule crashed and someone mismanaged something. And so you've got to make it up. That you know the romance of those intense, long hours is no longer quite as attractive as being able to better manage your time and spend more time with your kids and parents. So that's what companies get out of it. You know, a better workforce, a more loyal workforce and often a more experienced and more gender balanced workforce. You said big consulting companies. Boy, you get in there..
