Has it been a year already?!!? Just a few weeks ago Elvis (sadly without Barb) set up in the Ivoclar Ballroom at the 40th LMT Lab Day Chicago (https://lmtmag.com/lmtlabday). Many conversations were recorded over the weekend and we decided to start the collection with 4 past guests that have come back to update everyone on the exciting thing they are working on.
First up is Vicki Thomas, owner of the 2 person lab, Signature Smiles by Vicki Thomas. Awhile ago Vicki wanted to help other small labs by creating a buy-in group that will allow other labs to get volume deals that large labs get to take advantage of. So Vicki started Savvy Lab Solutions (https://savvylabsolutions.com/), a group dedicated to getting good pricing on the things you need to run your lab. She talks about why she stated it and some of the vendors that have already seen what the power of numbers can do.

Next up is the "voice" behind LMT, Becky Tyre. Becky comes on to talk about the newest thing LMT is doing, Soundbites (https://lmtmag.com/podcast). This short audio podcast highlights the current month’s magazine. Becky talks about her background in radio, why they started the podcast, and why you should be listening.
