Once Upon a Time… 50 years ago, within 1 month, I graduated from college and got married.  50 years of marriage has taught me much about teamwork. Laurie and I married on June 12th, 1973.  Our relationship has been remarkably fulfilling and productive.  A wonderful family, friends and a career in practice and academia (that’s still going).  Our relationship has

  We primarily think of bullying as happening in the schoolyard, but bullying can occur in any workplace, including dental practices.  Bullying has become so commonplace, especially in the political arena, that we often fail to call it out for what it is.

The latest cause to distrust are the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.  Now, the whole banking system, which funds our economy, has been called into question.  It’s put Sam Bankman Fried on that back burner, almost forgotten, as bank stocks plunge and crypto rises.
