Bronson Hill is a leading expert in passive income and wealth psychology, known for his ability to break down the habits and strategies of the ultra-wealthy. As the founder and CEO of Bronson Equity and host of the Mailbox Money Show, Bronson has interviewed over 2,500 millionaires, uncovering the mindsets and investment tactics that separate everyday earners from those who achieve true financial freedom. A former medical sales professional, Bronson walked away from a high-paying career to pursue passive income, scaling his wealth 20X in just a few years. He's a general partner in 2,500 multifamily units worth over $250M and has personally raised over $45M for real estate and private equity deals. Bronson's unique perspective comes from both his humble beginnings and his relentless focus on mindset, making him a sought-after keynote speaker and author. On this episode we talk about: – The mindset shift that helped Bronson 20X his net worth – Lessons from interviewing over 2,500 millionaires – Why “wealth-worthiness” is the hidden key to financial success – How the ultra-wealthy invest differently (and why “alternative assets” aren't so alternative) – Actionable strategies to build confidence and take your first steps toward passive income Top 3 Takeaways 1. Mindset is everything: The right psychology and self-talk are foundational to building wealth. Most people stay broke because they never develop a sense of “wealth-worthiness”—the belief that they deserve and are capable of financial success. 2. Surround yourself with the right people: Who you spend time with determines your financial future. Learning from mentors and modeling the habits of successful investors can accelerate your growth. 3. Take action despite fear: Confidence isn't about being fearless—it's about acting in the face of fear. Start small, celebrate wins, and use setbacks as data for growth. Notable Quotes “Confidence isn't something you're born with—it's something you build. Small wins, big lessons, and relentless action—love this breakdown.” “Make yourself valuable to valuable people.” “Being wealthy is not about having money or not having money. It's the habits and the person you become.” Connect with Bronson Hill: BronsonEquity.com Instagram: @bronsondavidhill Mailbox Money Show: Available on all major podcast platforms

Alex Strathdee is the founder of Shelf Life, a company he started at age 22 to fix the scam-filled book marketing world. Now 28, Alex leads a team of 17 from San Diego, generating over $1 million a year and working with top authors like Dan Heath, Nir Eyal, Lewis Howes, Reid Hoffman, and Carrie Bentley. After leaving a six-figure software job, Alex built Shelf Life into a go-to resource for authors seeking real results in book marketing. His unique journey, tech-forward approach, and deep understanding of both the publishing and marketing landscapes make him a standout guest for anyone interested in turning books into a thriving business. On this episode we talk about: How Alex started Shelf Life and transitioned from a six-figure tech job to entrepreneurship The biggest challenges authors face in selling books after publishing The evolution and current state of Amazon ads for book marketing Leveraging podcasts as a powerful business development and networking tool Creative strategies for landing high-profile clients and building credibility in a crowded market Actionable book marketing tactics, including giving away free copies and building authentic relationships with readers The importance of audiobooks and trends in book consumption Why authors should focus on genuine marketing over vanity metrics like “bestseller” status Top 3 Takeaways Podcasting is a Trojan horse for business development: Hosting a podcast enabled Alex to build relationships with top authors, land major clients, and learn from industry leaders—all while growing his business organically. Give value before asking for value: Offering free copies of a book to the right audience can turn readers into fans and generate authentic reviews, which is far more effective than focusing on paid bestseller campaigns or cold outreach. Tech-forward thinking wins: Understanding technology—even at a basic level—helps entrepreneurs move faster, automate processes, and stay ahead of less agile competitors in marketing and publishing. Notable Quotes "It's way easier to get someone to come on and talk to you for 30-60 minutes during an interview than it is to be like, 'Hey, can I talk to you about marketing my books?'" "A book from a no-name author is an undifferentiated product from someone with no reputation. You're not just asking for their money, you're asking for their time." "The second you learn how to do something, you need to learn how not to do it—that's how you grow and scale."

Gastroenterologist Shamita B. Shah discusses her article, "How doctors can help IBD patients manage symptoms between visits." Addressing the rising prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the U.S., Shamita highlights the challenges patients face managing unpredictable symptoms like pain and diarrhea, even while on therapy, often leading to undertreatment and complications. She outlines three key ways physicians can empower patients for better self-management between appointments: First, engaging patients to track symptoms using tools like wearable devices or digital platforms incorporating patient-reported outcomes (PROs), citing studies showing these methods can predict flares and significantly reduce emergency room visits (by 48 percent) and hospitalizations (by 78 percent). Second, educating patients on the diet-disease connection, recommending approaches like the Mediterranean diet and the use of food diaries (potentially via apps) to identify individual triggers. Third, providing patients with a comprehensive health maintenance checklist, such as the one from the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation, to ensure accountability for crucial screenings (cancer, mental health) and vaccinations, especially important for those on immunosuppressive therapies. Actionable takeaways focus on physicians proactively equipping patients with these tracking tools, dietary guidance, and checklists to foster better disease control and quality of life.

In this episode of the eCommerce Marketing Podcast, host Arlen Robinson speaks with Adam Callinan, founder of Pentain, about the importance of financial data in driving eCommerce profitability. Adam shares his journey from co-founding Bottlekeeper to creating Pentain, emphasizing the need for brands to leverage financial insights for better decision-making. They discuss the impact of pricing strategies, the dangers of discounting, and the significance of understanding ad budgets. Adam highlights common blind spots among brands and the future of intelligence tools in eCommerce, advocating for actionable data-driven strategies. Key Episode Takeaways: Financial data is often overlooked by eCommerce founders. Understanding fixed and variable expenses is crucial for profitability. Discounting can harm a business's bottom line if not managed properly. Ad budgets should be based on data, not guesswork. Every dollar saved on fixed expenses directly increases net profit. Brands often underprice their products without realizing it. Using math can clarify the impact of pricing changes. AI tools can enhance decision-making in eCommerce. The same financial principles apply across different industries. Actionable insights from data are essential for business growth.

Practicing internist and psychiatrist Muhamad Aly Rifai discusses his article, "How America became overmedicated—and what we can do about it." He raises concerns about the high rate of psychotropic medication use in the U.S., citing CDC data suggesting nearly 1 in 4 adults may be taking these drugs, often without clear long-term plans or exit strategies. Muhamad contrasts this with U.K. NICE guidelines that emphasize structured deprescribing protocols, highlighting a significant gap in U.S. clinical guidance. He points to systemic issues like short medication management visits, lack of industry incentives for deprescribing, and the need for better physician training in distinguishing withdrawal symptoms from relapse. Dr. Rifai advocates for a national shift towards wellness, emphasizing medication optimization, integrated behavioral health (including therapy and trauma-informed care), addressing social determinants of health, and fostering recovery-oriented conversations that explore non-pharmacologic approaches like peer support, nutrition, and exercise. Actionable takeaways include the need for robust deprescribing guidelines, investment in holistic and integrated care models, and a conscious effort by clinicians to discuss not just starting medications, but also safely stopping them when appropriate.

Occupational medicine physician Robert Nathan Clapp discusses his article, "Why you should take a closer look at occupational and environmental medicine." Addressing the pervasive issue of physician burnout, Robert introduces occupational and environmental medicine (OEM) — a specialty under preventive medicine — as a compelling but often overlooked field boasting high job satisfaction and low burnout. He notes that despite its appeal, only about 20 percent of OEM residents knew about the specialty before finishing medical school, leading many to transition later in their careers. Robert explains that OEM focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating workplace and environmental injuries and illnesses, uniquely blending clinical care with public health principles. Key advantages drawing physicians to OEM include extremely diverse career paths (ranging from 100 percent clinical to 100 percent non-clinical in various settings like corporations, government, and academics), excellent work-life balance with minimal call or weekend work, a focus on functional outcomes rather than volume metrics, competitive salaries, and high demand. Furthermore, residency training is accessible (often two years, or even one year for those with prior GME) and includes a master of public health (MPH) degree, with prior specialty experience often being highly valued. Actionable takeaways encourage physicians feeling dissatisfied or burnt out, as well as medical students, to explore OEM as a pathway to a more sustainable and rewarding medical career.

Journalist and patient advocate Carol Steinberg discusses her article, "Alzheimer's impact on the young should be an open book." She argues that while Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are known to affect the whole family, children under 18 are often excluded from conversations about a loved one's condition, leading to fear, confusion, and missed opportunities for connection. Carol details the emotional toll on children witnessing cognitive decline, the distinct difficulties for those with a parent with younger-onset ADRD, and the significant challenges faced by the 5.4 million caregiving youth in the U.S., who often experience adverse mental, physical, and academic outcomes. The discussion highlights a growing consensus among experts urging truthfulness and age-appropriate involvement for children, calling on the medical community and others to better recognize and support young carers. Carol introduces her children's book, Come Grandpa Meow, Let's Fly, as a tool to facilitate these difficult conversations and promote meaningful intergenerational activities, allowing families to connect and "meet in the moment" despite the disease's progression. Actionable takeaways emphasize the importance of candor, using resources to educate children, fostering continued relationships, and advocating for greater support systems for affected youth.

Pediatrician and holistic wellness expert Noemi Adame discusses her article, "Having a female doctor is better for your health, but not for hers." She highlights research indicating patients often experience better outcomes—including lower mortality, readmission, and post-surgical complication rates—when treated by female physicians, potentially linked to factors like longer visits and stronger adherence to guidelines. However, Noemi contrasts this with the significant personal toll on female doctors, who face higher burnout rates, a greater burden of uncompensated tasks like EMR messages (receiving 25 percent more requests), and a concerning lack of the longevity advantage seen in the general female population. She critiques the corporate medical system for failing to adequately support or compensate female physicians for the qualitative differences in their care delivery and the associated emotional labor. Noemi strongly advises female colleagues to protect their own well-being by considering alternatives to corporate employment, such as Direct Primary Care (DPC), independent contracting, or building a personal brand, while also acknowledging the unique challenges women face in setting boundaries within these models. Actionable takeaways emphasize the critical need for female physicians to prioritize self-care, implement sustainable practice systems, and advocate for themselves, whether inside or outside traditional employment structures.

Hematology-oncology physician Yousuf Zafar discusses his article, "The personalization of cancer care in 2025." He traces the evolution of cancer treatment over the past two decades, moving through waves of cytotoxic chemotherapy, biologic therapies, immunotherapies including groundbreaking CAR-T therapy, and now precision oncology, which targets treatments to the specific molecular profile of a patient's cancer. While these advancements have significantly improved survival and quality of life, Yousuf highlights the resulting increase in care complexity and the widening gap in outcomes between specialized centers (where only 20 percent of U.S. patients are treated) and community practices (where 80 percent of care occurs), particularly impacting rural areas where 66 percent of counties lack an oncologist. The conversation explores how digital health solutions, such as remote case reviews connecting community oncologists with subspecialists, can help bridge this divide and improve access. Importantly, Yousuf stresses that personalized care extends beyond treatment to encompass vital patient support for financial burdens, mental well-being, and survivorship. Actionable takeaways emphasize the need for collaboration, resources for community oncologists, investment in digital health tools, and a continued focus on patient-centered support throughout the cancer journey.

Is stress making your pain worse, or is your pain elevating your stress? What if the answer is both?

Health care executive Blake Walker discusses his article, "From caregivers to collectors: Navigating the new landscape of patient payments." He describes a perfect storm impacting provider groups: the significant rise in patient financial responsibility due to high-deductible health plans, the growth of health care consumerism where patients demand better experiences (with up to 50 percent willing to switch providers over billing issues), and the overwhelming administrative burden placed on staff using outdated systems not designed for patient collections. Blake argues that traditional practice management systems, prioritizing insurance reimbursement, are ill-equipped for today's landscape, leading to lost revenue and patient frustration. The conversation emphasizes the need to unbundle patient billing from these systems and adopt modern, consumer-friendly solutions offering automation, transparency, clear communication (like omnichannel options recovering 70 percent of payments quickly), and multiple payment methods. Actionable takeaways include recognizing patient billing as a critical touchpoint, investing in technology that improves the patient financial experience, and automating routine tasks to free up staff and improve collections.

Orthopedic surgeon Adil S. Ahmed discusses his article, "Academic medical centers under threat: the impact of funding cuts." He outlines the essential, multifaceted roles of academic institutions in educating future doctors, conducting vital biomedical research, and providing complex care, often for underserved populations—functions distinct from private equity-driven health care models. The conversation highlights the critical dependence of these centers on funding, grants, and donations, particularly from government sources like the NIH, HHS, and CDC, to sustain their tripartite mission. Adil argues that recent government funding cuts, driven by political shortsightedness and a potentially misleading focus on "efficiency," pose a direct threat to medical training opportunities, scientific advancement, and the capacity to care for the most complex patients. Actionable takeaways focus on recognizing the long-term societal value of academic medical centers and the potential dangers of reducing their funding, urging support for policies that bolster science and education.

Cardiologist Stanley Liu discusses his article, "5 steps to ride out a non-compete without uprooting your family." He shares his personal experience of being bound by an 18-month, 20-mile non-compete clause after leaving an academic cardiology position and outlines the strategic steps he took to navigate this period without relocating his family. Key points include the critical importance of building a substantial worst-case scenario fund for financial security during negotiations or unemployment, defining clear personal and professional goals for the career transition to maintain focus, and exploring diverse income streams like locum tenens work or non-clinical roles that align with those goals. Stanley also emphasizes the necessity of creating contingency plans (Plan B and C) for potential setbacks and the importance of maintaining professional goodwill by managing the departure process gracefully. Actionable takeaways involve proactive financial planning, intentional career design focused on personal well-being, and strategic navigation of contractual limitations.
