Suno.ai music creator

Global Molars - also on Facebook and YouTube.

Glove Shack song – video/music opener

Bite Down Blues – John used a very short prompt – "Make a funky song about the articulating paper that helps check occlusion in teeth."

Levinson Dental practice theme song – very little prompting except the name of the practice, positive about their care for patients, and a modern Motown style.

Terry May the 4th Birthday song – used Chat GPT for lyric starter – then John edited and added some of his own lyrics.

CE Connect song – an internal promotion for an educational program…John wrote all the lyrics, to force everything to rhyme with Dentsply Connect.

Personal Vacation song/video – song is relevant to the couple John travels with to NYC and Jekyll Island every year. John wrote the lyrics and here is the prompt he used: ****"An 80’s Sitcom!"

Slice of Life - An original song from John with his lyrics. SUNO helped him create a MUCH higher production quality, in a more modern style than he was thinking, much more quickly than he could on his own. He was able to bring the song into GarageBand and add some of his own tracks to “reclaim” it.

Adrian ROCKS! - John's song for Adrian

In this episode of Byte-Sized, Adrian sits down with longtime friend John Crouch from Dentsply Sirona to explore the revolutionary world of AI music creation for dental practices. John, who leads the innovative dental parody band "Global Molars," shares how AI tools like Suno are democratizing music production and solving major copyright issues that plague dental practice marketing.

The conversation dives deep into practical applications, from creating practice theme songs and event videos to birthday celebrations and patient communications. John demonstrates the step-by-step process of using Suno.ai, revealing how dental professionals can go from zero musical experience to producing professional-quality tracks in minutes.

This isn't just about making music for fun - it's about solving real business problems. With copyright infringement fines reaching $25,000 per violation, AI-generated music offers a safe, cost-effective alternative that's perfectly tailored to each practice's unique voice and brand.

The episode showcases concrete examples, including personalized birthday songs, practice promotional videos, and even CE course theme music, proving that AI music creation isn't just a novelty - it's a practical tool for enhancing patient engagement and practice marketing.

In this episode of Byte-Sized, Adrian sits down with Susan Leckowicz, founder of Dental Coaches, to explore practical AI implementation for dental practices just getting started. Susan breaks down three game-changing applications that any practice can implement immediately.

The conversation kicks off with Susan's approach to patient reactivation using ChatGPT's creative capabilities. She demonstrates how practices can create engaging, personalized text messages and emails by setting up AI personas and using strategic prompting. Rather than spending hours crafting the perfect patient communication, practices can generate dozens of creative options in minutes.

Adrian and Susan dive deep into the art of prompting, discussing the WHO-WHAT-WHY-AUDIENCE-CONSTRAINTS framework and how practices can set up dedicated chat channels for different communication types. Susan shares her experience moving from the old days of borrowing ideas from other industries to AI's ability to rapidly iterate and refine messaging.

The discussion shifts to Pearl AI's diagnostic capabilities, where Susan shares a compelling case study of a teenage patient with six cavities that lit up "like a Christmas tree" on the AI analysis, convincing a skeptical parent. She emphasizes how AI radiograph analysis serves as a powerful second opinion tool that builds patient trust and improves case acceptance rates.

Finally, Susan explores Annie AI's phone assistant capabilities, addressing the staggering reality that dental practices miss approximately 33% of incoming calls. She explains how AI agents can handle appointment confirmations, insurance questions, and after-hours calls while maintaining the practice's voice and philosophy.

The episode wraps with actionable first steps: start with ChatGPT's free version, focus on copywriting applications, and explore diagnostic and phone AI tools through demos and trials.

Conner Ludlow: conner@helloannie.co

In this eye-opening episode of Byte-Sized, Adrian sits down with Connor Ludlow, former CTO of Reach and founder of Annie AI, who drops a truth bomb that'll make you rethink everything you've heard about AI. Connor doesn't pull punches – he straight-up says AI is overhyped, but not for the reasons you think.

This isn't your typical "AI will save the world" conversation. Connor breaks down the real deal: where AI actually works versus where we're getting caught up in sci-fi fantasies. He shares how ChatGPT completely replaced Google in his daily workflow and reveals the deep research feature that most people don't even know exists.

The guy who built Annie AI explains why he's betting on "raising the floor" instead of chasing silver bullets – and why that matters for your dental practice. Plus, he geeks out on specialized AI models like Google's MedPlan and why Dennis Rodman's rebound training is the perfect metaphor for understanding large language models.

No fluff, no hype – just tactical insights from someone who's actually building AI solutions for dentistry.

In this no-nonsense episode of Byte-Sized, Adrian sits down with dental industry OG Laura Nelson, founder of Front Office Rocks and creator of the "Brush Up on AI" newsletter. Laura drops some serious reality checks about AI adoption in dentistry, revealing that senior citizens are outpacing dental professionals in ChatGPT usage – and why that should terrify every practice owner.

Laura gets brutally honest about the AI replacement conversation: it's not whether AI will replace people, it's whether people who use AI will replace those who don't. She shares war stories from her office manager mastermind sessions where simple ChatGPT prompts solved problems that typically take hours to address manually.

The conversation dives deep into practical AI implementation, focusing on the #1 use case every dental practice should start with: patient communication. Laura breaks down exactly how teams can use AI to craft better emails, handle difficult patient conversations, and streamline everything from insurance narratives to job descriptions.

This episode delivers the tactical guidance Adrian promises – no fluff, just actionable steps to implement AI in your practice today. Laura's perspective as someone who's spent 20 years training dental teams gives her unique insight into how AI can solve the efficiency and customer service problems that have plagued practices for decades.

In this inaugural episode of Bite-Sized, Adrian Lefler sits down with podcast expert and studio setup specialist Shawn Zajas to tackle the existential question facing every professional today: how do you stay relevant when AI can do almost everything humans can do?

Zajas drops a provocative thesis that cuts through all the AI hype: the only sustainable competitive advantage in our rapidly automating world is what he calls "authentic brilliance" – the uniquely human imperfections and genuine connections that no algorithm can replicate. Drawing parallels to the Industrial Revolution's impact on manual labor, he argues we're experiencing a knowledge revolution that will fundamentally reshape every industry.

The conversation takes unexpected turns, from Adrian's confession about his kids voluntarily abandoning social media to escape digital toxicity, to Shawn's game-changing method of using Claude AI as a personal therapist and career coach. But this isn't just philosophical hand-wringing – Zajas delivers tactical gold, showing exactly how to upload personality assessments into Claude's project system to create a personalized AI consultant that knows your psychological wiring better than most humans.

Adrian pushes back with his characteristic directness, arguing that while robots might place implants with surgical precision, human beings are fundamentally tribal creatures who will always crave authentic connection. The tension between efficiency and humanity runs throughout their discussion, with both agreeing that the future belongs to those who can leverage AI while doubling down on irreplaceable human qualities.

The episode concludes with a commitment to develop practical training around Shawn's Claude methodology – because knowing these tools exist isn't enough when half the dental industry hasn't even tried ChatGPT yet.
