    Why Dentists Need a Personal Brand More Than Ads | Dr. Tyler Hales

    Most professionals try to blend in. Dr. Tyler Hales chose to stand out. In this episode of Coffeez for Closers, Joe sits down with Tyler Hales, a cosmetic dentist who redefined what leadership, branding, and confidence look like in an industry most people fear — and rarely trust. From the bow tie and mullet to a fast-growing national reputation, Tyler didn’t build his brand by copying dental marketing playbooks. He built it by leaning into identity, craftsmanship, faith, and discipline. This conversation dives into: • Why personal branding changed the trajectory of his career • The lesson his grandfather taught him: “If you want to be the best, look the best” • Why most professionals rent marketing instead of owning a brand • How confidence transforms business, leadership, and family life • The hidden artistry behind elite cosmetic dentistry • Why insurance quietly hurts both patients and practitioners • Walking away from partnerships to protect vision and values • Morning routines, faith, and building a life with intention • Legacy — not just success — as the real goal This episode isn’t about teeth. It’s about belief, consistency, and becoming the person your future requires.

    Stem Cells, Exosomes & the Future of Recovery ft. Seth Berge I Coffeez with Joe Shalaby

    Regenerative medicine is one of the fastest-growing areas in health and wellness — but it’s also one of the most misunderstood. In this episode of Coffeez for Closers, Joe sits down with Seth Berge, founder of Regenerative Revival and Precision Biologics, to unpack how regenerative therapies are actually being delivered, regulated, and scaled across the United States. Seth is a lifelong entrepreneur who didn’t start in medicine — but found his purpose in building ethical, education-first models that help people explore alternatives to surgery, long-term pain management, and invasive procedures. This conversation covers: • How regenerative medicine works at a high level (without medical jargon) • The real differences between stem cells, exosomes, and traditional treatments • Why communication and education matter more than hype • Building a nationwide concierge, in-home care model • Navigating regulation, compliance, and patient trust • The business realities of operating in emerging healthcare fields • Fatherhood, leadership, and building something that lasts This episode isn’t about miracle cures or shortcuts. It’s about access, responsibility, and rethinking how recovery and longevity are approached.

    Why AI Will Replace 80% of Professional Work (But Not Humans) | Nimrod Vroman

    Most people think AI is about speed. Nimrod Vroman thinks it’s about structure, access, and truth. In this episode of Coffeez for Closers, Joe sits down with Nimrod Vroman, founder of Ark Empowerment and For Posterity, two platforms rethinking how humans interact with professional services and legacy in the age of AI. Nimrod spent nearly two decades as a corporate lawyer before walking away to build something radically different — while navigating war, entrepreneurship, fatherhood, and risk all at once. This conversation goes deep into: • Why professional services are broken by design • How AI can deliver 80% of the work — and when humans must step in • The idea of paying for insight, not inefficiency • Democratizing access to legal, financial, and advisory expertise • Preserving legacy through storytelling and structured memory • Turning chaos, trauma, and disruption into long-term clarity • Why optimism is a competitive advantage This isn’t a hype conversation about AI. It’s about rebuilding systems that were never designed for people in the first place.

    Raising Capable Kids in a Fast-Changing World | Gary Surdam | Coffeez with Joe Shalaby

    Most conversations about education focus on systems. This one focuses on people. In this episode of Coffeez for Closers, Joe sits down with Gary Surdam, an international educator, entrepreneur, and founder of Bright Start Ed-Tech and the Illoominate platform. Gary has spent decades inside classrooms, universities, and education systems around the world. But what shaped his mission most wasn’t policy or curriculum — it was watching how confidence, self-esteem, and connection determine whether a child actually succeeds. This conversation explores: • Why parents are still the most influential teachers in a child’s life • How early confidence gaps quietly turn into long-term learning gaps • The role social-emotional learning plays in real academic success • How technology and AI can personalize education without replacing humanity • What it means to prepare kids for a global economy, not just a classroom • The kind of legacy educators and parents leave behind This episode isn’t about grades or test scores.

    From $50 to the State Senate | Faith & the American Dream ft. Senator Steven Choi

    This episode isn’t about politics. It’s about calling, conviction, and staying in the fight when nobody believes in you. Senator Steven Choi came to America with $50, an accent, and zero guarantees. Years later, he became the first Republican in 44 years to defeat a sitting Democratic Senator in California — with almost no party support and a fraction of the money. In this deeply personal episode of Coffeez for Closers, we talk about: • Losing elections — and realizing defeat was the setup • Faith when the math doesn’t make sense • Why comfort is the enemy of calling • Being rejected by your own party — and winning anyway • Immigration, identity, and building legacy in America • Why leadership starts long before titles ever show up This conversation is honest, grounded, and timeless. Not hype. Not politics. Just purpose over position. If you’ve ever felt overlooked… written off… or told it was “too late” — this episode is for you.
