It's great to have you. An interference cast is a non clinical interruption. And if you're a usual listener, welcome back... Jaz's Introduction: In this episode, we have Ferhan Ahmed. Now Ferhan is an awesome clinician. And he wrote this book called 'Unstoppable', which is a great contribution because it does so much for charity. But it's one of those books, which is very much in the realms of personal development. I'm a sucker for personal development books, I love anything in that genre of personal development. So the reason I like this book by Ferhan, is that it's personal development book, but it talks to me. It talked to me as a dentist, because he is a dentist, turn medic. And now he focuses on full arch implant work. And it was very inspiring. I think it's something that you know, we need to focus more on the non clinical sometimes, be it the mindset. So what do you expect to gain from this episode is to explore a little bit about your learning style, what is your learning style, and really focusing on bigger picture type stuff. And one of the biggest takeaways, I think, is the power of visualization. Now, let Ferhan do the honors explain a bit. But yeah, the times where I use visualization is like, macro visualization, like bigger projects, like, when I'm developing the podcast, I'm visualizing things, when I do public speaking, or lecturing or whatever, I am going to be doing some visualization in my head, I would have given that talk, my eyes closed and when I'm in bed, and I would have spoken to people how I'm going to look, how I'm going to say things, what I'm going to say. So a lot of times I've rehearsed things in my mind, but also, like, if I'm doing a surgical wisdom tooth that is just beyond my comfort zone, I will mentally rehearse that surgical procedure. Or if I'm doing anything complex, multiple crowns, things that are just stepping out of my comfort zone, I'm always rehearsing it in my mind, what could possibly go wrong? How am I gonna accept the instrument for my nurses hand? Like to this tiny little details. So one big takeaway from this episode is the power of visualization. Anyway, hope you enjoy this interference cast with Ferhan, and let's become unstoppable. Main Interview: [Jaz] Ferhan Ahmed, welcome to the Protrusive Dental Podcast, my friend. [Ferhan] Thanks, man
