  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Come join us THIS WEEK at the &lt;a href="https://jensendental.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Jensen Dental&lt;/a&gt; booth during the &lt;a href="https://www.fdla.net/attendee-information" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;FDLA Southern States Symposium &amp;amp; Expo&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;br&gt;
June 13-14 at Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek in Orlando, FL&lt;br&gt;
Register today at: FDLA.NET&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We return to the "Olympics of Dental", IDS in Cologne Germany. Set up very nicely in the &lt;a href="https://exocad.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;exocad&lt;/a&gt; booth, Elvis and Barb got to talk to three more amazing people from around the world. THANK YOU EXOCAD!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We start the episode with Amy Tate who joined her uncle a year ago at &lt;a href="https://nexus.dental/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;nexus dental laboratory&lt;/a&gt; because she saw all the amazing places it has taken him. Now enrolled in a 3 year online course, a mentorship, and also working in the lab, Amy is all in with dental technology and shares her hopes for the future.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then we chat with Rami Gamil, who years ago saw a need for dental technology in Egypt. After getting a degree in it in France, Rami now owns multiple locations called TriScan that provides iOS, CBCT, and bunch of other digital services to local dentists. His next focus is all about education.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We wrap up the episode with the dental technician to Denturists, Pam Rehm. Growing up in Canada, Pam spent a fair amount of time in a dental chair. That drove her to become a dental technician and she found out how great the Denturist community was. After getting into teaching, she truly found her passion. She’s now with &lt;a href="https://argen.com/#/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Argen Canada&lt;/a&gt; and her focus is making sure Denturists get a digital workflow that works for their practice.&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;We talk to many vendors and milling centers on the podcast. But never have we talked to a company in Australia that does both.  Sam Talassinos grew up in his father’s lab and never wanted to be in the industry. After a brief time in retail, Sam found himself in the lab (of course) and introducing digital to their workflow. It took a bad experience while getting some new equipment that drove him to open &lt;a href="https://xyzdental.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;XYZ Dental&lt;/a&gt;, offering milling services and equipment to other labs in the area. Sam talks about growing up in the industry, how he approaches customer service, and why he joined the board of &lt;a href="https://www.adia.org.au/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Australian Dental Industry Association&lt;/a&gt; to help the profession grow. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Have you ever wanted to learn exocad? Do you find learning new design software overwhelming or just too costly because you have to go to a weekend course. Even if you have never used design any software before, we have the perfect solution for you to begin your exocad journey. Head over to the&lt;a href="https://instituteofdigitaldentistry.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt; Institute of Digital Dentistry&lt;/a&gt; and select the “&lt;a href="https://instituteofdigitaldentistry.com/live-courses/mastering-exocad-online-course-training/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Mastering Exocad Course&lt;/a&gt;”.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Broken down to three segments, the amazing Marjorie will take you through Fundamentals, Intermediate, and Advanced  courses leaving you with the confidence to tackle most cases coming into your lab. I personally am going through all 70 lessons and find it one of the most thorough courses you can take at your own pace.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;And for being a listener of the podcast, if you enter code &lt;strong&gt;VOICES&lt;/strong&gt; when checking out they will take an additional 10% off any course they offer…. And they offer a ton of content for labs and clinics. Special Guest: Sam Thalassinos.&lt;/h3&gt;
