## Resource

Celebrating his 12th anniversary in podcasting, host Dr. Alan Mead presents a special episode of The Very Dental Podcast featuring a re-release of the second installment of The Dental Hacks Podcast from June 2014. Dr. Mead kicks off the show by recalling how the original "cliffhanger" format originally drove a young Dr. Zach Meiners crazy, leading to a nostalgic and concurrent release of this payoff episode. The vintage episode continues the original show's signature style, combining a feature interview with a group "Brain Trust" discussion. The feature interview concludes with Dr. Lance Timmerman sharing his candid insights on incorporating sleep apnea treatment and medical insurance billing into a dental practice. The episode concludes with the second installment of the Brain Trust—featuring Dr. Jason Luchtefeld, Dr. Dawn Grimes, Dr. Tammy Bailey, and Dr. Andy Hayes—as they engage in a lively debate on the future of sleep medicine, dental school debt, and the rising tide of corporate dentistry.
