Already we are missing everyone at LMT Lab Day Chicago 2025. Luckily, we talked to a lot of people that weekend and can still highlight some of the amazing people we met. First up on this episode is Julia Glancey who comes to Chicago all the way from the UK. Julia talks about her journey working for her dentist father, doing a little demolition, before finally finding a home in a dental lab. Entering the industry though management, it wasn't long before she was teaching herself the lab work and getting into full arch restoration. Now Julia is working with a team remotely from all over to provide exceptional care to patients.

Next we talk to Shavit Kohen, who is a student at the New York City College of Technology. The amazing thing is that before she has even graduated, she owns Spark Dental Lab in New York City providing everything from crowns to all-on-x cases. Shavit talks about her journey, starting at the front desk, to how a current student can open a lab with all the technology.

Then for the last conversation, we pivot to bring you Christine McClymont from exocad to talk all about what they have planned for IDS week! If you are at the show, make sure you stop by the exocad booth in HALL 1, booth A040/C041 and see all the amazing things Christine talks about.

We are starting off the collection of conversations from the Florida Dental Laboratory Association Symposium in Orlando, Florida. Last June the AMAZING people at Jensen Dental gave us space in their fantastic booth to record some of the attendees.

First up is Enja Dorchuluun from Sakr Dental Studios. Enja talks about her history at Sakr, how they are using automation in the lab, and getting ready to move the lab from 5 buildings to one.

Since we were in the Jensen Dental booth, we had to talk to the technician known for his amazing work with MIYO, Bart Cothran. Bart chats with us about his journey into dental, owning his own lab, teaching MIYO to others, and some great tips for this amazing liquid ceramics.

Then we wrap up the episode with a technician full of so much passion to giving back, he's going through the board of the FDLA for the second time. Fernando DeLeon was in dental school in Guatemala when he decided being a dental technician might be a better fit. Fernando talks about his passion for changing a life, his passion for giving back, and his passion on doing the best he can for his patients.
