The speaker, Karan, talks about the pressure to be perfect and fit in, as well as his own experiences with low self-esteem and body issues. He describes a catalyst moment in grade six where he was bullied and felt uncomfortable in his body, which led him to avoid swimming for the next 20 years. He reflects on the idea of perfect and how he no longer believes in it, especially after a friend's passing. He talks about the Dash, the line between the year of birth and death on a tombstone, and how people live in a manufactured version of themselves to please others. He also mentions a story of a woman who goes missing in Iceland after buying a beautiful red dress.
She realizes that she doesn't need the validation of others to feel beautiful and confident. She embraces her own unique qualities, without trying to fit into the mold of what others expect from her.
In conclusion, Karan's message is about living a life on your own terms, embracing your imperfections, and not striving for perfection or the approval of others. He encourages his audience to have their own catalyst moments, to live in their own dash, and to be true to themselves.

Jay Malik is an accountant. He thanks the judges for introducing him and notes that accountants are not as social as people think. He jokes about developing a passion for IRS, but then shares three tips that can help reduce tax burden. The first tip is to get a second opinion on your tax return, as 95% of the dentist clients who sent him their tax returns have overpaid in tax. The second tip is to have a written financial plan that includes tax strategies, as implementing tax strategies without a financial plan may not work as well. The third tip is to be reasonable and have a retirement plan, as many of his clients come to him without a retirement plan and regret it later.

He talked about the importance of having money work harder for you and how most people's money is unemployed, meaning it's not working for them. He discussed how taxation can be a big drain on finances and how he teaches his clients to reduce their taxation to increase their profits. He gave an example of how a thousand dollars invested in a project that gives a 24% monthly rate of return can grow to $4 million over 36 months. He encouraged his audience to learn about the Rule of 72 and employ their money to work for them through leverage and the right investments.

Dr. Hershell G. Steele gave a talks about antioxidants and dentistry. He discussed three points: (1) the relevance of nutrition and antioxidants for dentistry; (2) why now is a great time to use nutrition in dental practice; and (3) how to implement nutrition in dental practice. Dr. Steele highlighted that nutrition and antioxidants are critical to the development, growth, and maintenance of good teeth, mouth, and airway, and are backed by tens of thousands of scientific articles. He also emphasized that the nutrition business is over a $50 billion per year industry, and over 80% of patients are already taking a supplement, making it a good opportunity for dentists to recommend a good supplement to their patients. To implement nutrition in dental practice, dentists and hygienists can prescribe topical antioxidant gels, vitamin D, and antioxidants for patients undergoing bone surgeries. Patients should be advised to continue taking minimal doses of supplements for at least a year or more to see results. However, choosing supplements should be done carefully, as the FDA minimally regulates them. Dr. Steele advised using laboratories with better quality control standards in place to ensure cosmetic and functional results.

Glenda Acevedo compares the gremlins in the movie Gremlins to the limiting beliefs, negative stories, and debilitating fears that live within us. She had experienced a period of darkness in her life after facing various personal challenges, and eventually hired a life coach to help her get through it. The coach introduced her to the FSI process, which involves defining one's fears, successes, and the cost of inaction. Through this process, Glenda learned to overcome her fears and returned to work by opening her own business. She emphasizes that the FSI process is not a one-time solution, as gremlins will return when facing new challenges, but the process can be repeated to keep the gremlins at bay.

Dr Jones discusses the importance of paying attention to how we breathe and the effects that it can have on our mental and physical health. It describes an example of a dental team member who had chronic headaches and poor oral health, which was discovered to be related to her habit of mouth breathing. Research suggests that nasal breathing is healthier and can improve overall wellness, and that the nose is designed to filter and disinfect the air that we breathe. Also, that mouth breathing can cause the airways to become narrower, which is a problem for humans that are already growing smaller airways due to evolution and lifestyle changes.

With all of the time, money, and energy needed to pursue a career in dentistry, it’s natural that we all learn to define WHO we are by WHAT we do. That’s great when everything at work goes well, and we get to love the identity we’ve claimed for ourselves; but when our work creates problems, we define ourselves by that too and injure our self-esteem, increase anxiety, and even create depression. Learn how creating your personal identity as more than a dental professional can bring more happiness and freedom into your life.
Objectives
1. Modify how we define ourselves as individuals.
2. Choose tools to help build self-worth and increase stability and happiness.
