Dr. Louis Chmura discusses the importance of a complete diagnosis before giving a patient clear aligners. He emphasizes that bypassing the diagnostic part can lead to leaving correction on the table, leaving a patient with a limited treatment plan. He stresses that a comprehensive diagnosis must include the ABCs: airway, beauty, and occlusion. Dr. Chmura recommends collaboration with orthodontists around the world to expand your market and provide better treatment plans for your patients. Finally, he compares the process to learning to fly a plane and emphasizes the importance of proper training and collaboration.

Mr. James Wolfe gave a speech in which he discussed the Rule of 72, a method of taking money and reducing the time it takes to double it from 40 years to three years. 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.

In this speech, Garrett Gunderson delivers a humorous presentation about money and taxes. He is the author of a book called "Killing Secret Cows," which he offers to bribe the audience with to sit in the front row. He then jokes about his resemblance to Jesus and shares his passion for comedy and finance. The speaker talks about the importance of finding ways to save on taxes and introduces three buckets: the team, deductions, and classification/reclassification of income. He adds humor to his presentation by making jokes about taxes being no laughing matter and how people would rather die than pay taxes, and he concludes by sharing tax advice that the audience can use to put more money in their pockets.
