Thinking about private equity? Don't wait until you're burned out and ready to hand over the keys. A partner may want you involved for years after the deal.  I sit down with Andrew Goldfein of Alpha Aesthetics Partners to talk about what makes a practice partner-ready, what buyers look at, and why expanding just to get bigger can hurt your numbers. Another Location Doesn't Automatically Add Value  That second location might grow revenue while draining profit. Before signing another lease, look at your margins, team retention, and whether the first practice can run without you constantly stepping in.  Know Your Numbers Before You Take the Meeting  A potential partner needs more than a healthy top-line revenue number. Get clear on:  Revenue and margins by service and location  Memberships and recurring revenue  Device utilization and profitability  Provider retention and operating costs  Your P&L should show what's working and where growth is costing you.  (00:07:36) Knowing when to expand or exit (00:12:03) Starting succession planning early (00:15:34) Finding a partner who fits (00:18:30) Understanding the transaction (00:21:00) Stabilizing revenue and retention  Don't Sign Away What Patients Come For  Alpha describes a partnership model that keeps local branding and clinical autonomy while adding business support. But don't assume every deal works that way. Ask what happens to your team, role, and equity. Make sure the actual agreement reflects what you're promised.  Give Yourself Options Before You Need an Exit  Whether you sell, partner, or keep growing independently, clean financials and strong retention put you in a better position.   Start planning while you still have time to improve your medspa. Waiting until you're desperate to leave can limit your choices.  About Andrew Goldfein:  As the head of New Partnerships and M&A at Alpha Aesthetics Partners, the premier platform partnering with the nation's best aesthetics practices, Andrew has spoken with thousands of owners across the country at all stages of growth.  Through its 37 partner locations, Alpha has built a community of some of the brightest clinical and business minds in aesthetics who are all now aligned to help each other through shared ownership in Alpha. Thanks to the daily conversations with practice owners, as well as through serving on Alpha's executive team, Andrew has developed deep experience in identifying opportunities and risks in aesthetics practices to help owners grow their top and bottom line.   Prior to Alpha, Andrew spent four years leading M&A and new site growth at the DSO Affordable Care (Affordable Dentures & Implants) and was previously an investment banker at Houlihan Lokey.  A Chicagoan at heart, he now lives in Charlotte, NC and spends any free time he can find with his wife and two young kids.  Connect with Andrew:  Website: https://partnerwithalpha.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/partnerwithalpha/?hl=en  Follow Shannon & Keep What You Earn:    Shannon Weinstein is the founder of a fractional CFO firm specializing in helping 7-figure aesthetics and wellness practices scale with clarity, cash flow, and confidence.

Rocio Cortez had never played a sport. She'd never been in a weight room. At 27 she walked into a jujitsu gym, and three and a half years later she's training wrestling, striking, MMA and Muay Thai, and she's competed at Apex twice.The number that matters in this conversation is not the 275-pound deadlift she pulled at a bodyweight of 119. It's three and a half years. That's how long it took to build the body she has now, and she never once trained for it directly. She trained to get faster, to jump higher, to get stronger. The body followed.Tara and Rocio get honest about what that stretch actually felt like: the days she took progress photos and hated them, the clothes that stopped fitting, the body dysmorphia that showed up right as she was making her best gains.In this episode:Why the people you train around change what you believe is possible for youHow to build a circle when you're the shy one in the cornerGrieving friendships that fade when your lifestyle changes, and why the real ones modify the hangout insteadStarting at 27, and how Rocio stopped mourning the years she didn't trainWhat actually makes you an athlete, and why Tara says you don't have to compete to be oneWhy being a beginner is an advantage, not a liabilityTraining for performance and letting the body sort itself out103 pounds to 120: learning to use a body that's changedDiet culture, double zero pants, and 100 crunches before bedInjury, warming up, and why pushing through isn't a planStarting martial arts as a woman when the room is mostly menHow to know you're progressing when the weight on the bar has stalledScreen time, comparison, and curating a feed that doesn't cost you anythingTimestamps:00:42 Welcome to Broads01:35 You are who you surround yourself with04:24 Building your five people07:11 When friendships fade09:53 Starting at 27 and grieving lost time13:00 What makes you an athlete14:41 Why Rocio likes being a beginner18:02 Where the intimidation actually comes from21:18 Training for performance, and the body that followed23:40 Diet culture and high school25:26 103 to 12027:16 Injuries and the machismo mindset29:09 Being a woman in a male-dominated sport30:18 How to start jujitsu when you're intimidated32:31 "I work out but I don't look like I work out"33:20 Three and a half years of reps35:44 Progress when the weight stalls37:25 Perfectionism, imposter syndrome and screen time42:34 Curating who you follow44:36 For the woman focused on how she looks46:53 Get a coachConnect with Rocio:https://www.instagram.com/rockin_rocio/https://www.rociocortez.com/Learn more about Broads: www.broads.app

As estheticians, our clients often share so much more with us than what's happening with their skin. The treatment room can become a space where women feel safe enough to talk about their bodies, their hormones, their cycles, and the changes they're experiencing throughout different seasons of life.In this episode, we sit down with cycle educator Randee Godfree for a conversation about menstrual cycle health, women's wellness, and the power of understanding the natural rhythms of the female body.Randee is also a Pilates and hot Pilates instructor, astrologer, and herbalist, bringing a unique whole-person perspective to the conversation. Together, we explore cycle education and how greater awareness can help us better understand what women may be experiencing physically, emotionally, and energetically throughout the month.For estheticians, this isn't about diagnosing, treating, or stepping outside our scope. It's about becoming more informed, compassionate practitioners who can listen, hold space, ask thoughtful questions, and better support the women who trust us.Because sometimes supporting our clients goes far beyond their skin. It starts with helping them feel heard, understood, and empowered in their own bodies.Randee's courses are live in the membership! Use the links below to sign up and join us!

Interior designers love the beautiful, creative side of the work. They love choosing materials, working with clients, selecting furnishings, and bringing a vision to life. But when a project moves into renovation, remodeling, or new construction, another side of interior design becomes just as important: the technical side.I see this gap often, especially with designers who are moving from decorating and furnishing into more complex residential or commercial projects. You may be confident in your aesthetic skills but feel intimidated by construction documentation, building drawings, space planning, technical details, or understanding how everything will actually be built. And if that technical knowledge wasn't a major focus of your interior design education or career, it can become a real weak spot. In this episode, Jessica Marchand and I talk about exactly why this matters and what you can do about it.Interior design is really two distinct crafts—the aesthetic craft and the technical craft—and great projects happen where those two worlds meet. You don't have to be brilliant at both. But the work does.Featured GuestJessica Marchant is the founder of Blue-Sky Creative, a technical design firm that partners with interior designers nationwide to provide white-label design support, space planning, build-ready construction documentation, and realistic 3D renderings. Her team helps bridge the gap between interior designers and contractors so designers can confidently execute residential and commercial projects. Jessica is a formally trained interior designer with a master's degree in design management and has experience in kitchen and bath design, construction, themed entertainment, and project management. She also coaches interior designers who are transitioning into more complex renovation and new construction work. Her approach combines technical design expertise with practical business strategy to help creative businesses scale with confidence.What You'll Learn in This Episode✳️ Why technical design knowledge matters in complex projects✳️ How construction documentation protects your design decisions✳️ When to outsource technical design support✳️ How to choose the right GC partner✳️ Why intentional teams help interior designers scaleRead the Blog >>> Bringing the Aesthetic and Technical Sides Together of Interior DesignNEXT STEPS:

Sir Tom Finney described the 5-0 demolition of Nottingham Forest "one of the finest exhibitions of football" he had ever seen in his life and one that "will never be bettered". After only their second barren season in twelve years, Liverpool roared back to the top of English football with a style and elan that has arguably never been bettered. Aidan Williams joins Martyn to revisit a blistering campaign in a strange 21-team division as well as discussing Gazza's big breakout season, Fergie's first challenge, a controversial managerial change at White Hart Lane and a Chelsea relegation with accompanying rioting.

In this episode, host Don joins aesthetic medicine practitioner and educator Tracy Mancuso to tackle one of the industry's most expensive problems: buying technology because it looks innovative rather than because it belongs in your practice. Drawing on more than 30 years across clinical care and manufacturing, Tracy explains how owners can separate genuine advancement from expensive hype. Tracy breaks down how to evaluate peer-reviewed evidence, validate patient demand before purchasing, test whether staff truly understand the science behind a device, and independently verify manufacturer claims. She also shares a practical patient-survey approach that can reveal demand while simultaneously creating a soft launch list for a new treatment. Her framework is simple: start with the patient problem, not the machine, and never make a major technology decision in isolation. Build a trusted professional network, choose your own references, keep training beyond the manufacturer's basics, and make every investment earn its place inside the practice.

Payment processing feels like back-office admin—until fees creep up or your account gets flagged.  In this episode, I sit down with Adam Castillo to talk about merchant services, hidden fees, high-risk rules, and what can put a med spa on the MATCH list. We also cover telehealth, weight loss, website language, and how to protect your ability to get paid.  Know Your Effective Rate  Don't just scan the statement for one fee. Divide total processing fees by total payments processed and track that effective rate over time. Small increases compound fast, and junk fees can eat into margin.  Check the Risk Before You Add the Service  Before launching telehealth, medical weight loss, or a new payment setup:  Review website and invoice language   Confirm processor rules for your services   Ask whether LegitScript or extra underwriting applies   Audit fees before switching   A cheaper processor isn't a win if the account gets shut down.  (00:05:35) Finding hidden processing costs (00:08:07) Understanding telehealth restrictions (00:16:03) Avoiding risky payment language (00:42:21) How AI scans websites for flagged terms  Your Processor Should Understand Your Business  Med spas don't have the same risk profile as every other business. Work with someone who understands healthcare payments and can help you address issues before they become shutdowns. Protect How You Get Paid Before You Scale  Expansion gets harder when you can't reliably accept cards. Clean up fees, compliance, and processor relationships now so payment risk doesn't slow your growth later. About Adam Costilo:  Adam Costilo is a serial entrepreneur who's had a love for business, growth, and the pursuit of the American dream for as long as he can remember. From co-founding a Philly cheesesteak franchise to launching multiple ventures across different industries, Adam has spent his career building things from the ground up — and helping others do the same. Today, as the founder of The Payment Doctor, he and his team process for over 600 clinics to the tune of more than $200 million a year, delivering true payment stability and fully transparent pricing to the medical and medspa space. But payments are just the starting point. With deep expertise in the peptide and GLP-1 landscape and strategic relationships ranging from next-level 503A pharmacy pricing to best-in-class technology partners, Adam has positioned The Payment Doctor as a one-stop shop for clinic growth. His real passion — and his "why" — is helping clinic owners scale their practices and improve their financial lives, and that mission has become the driving force behind everything The Payment Doctor stands for.  Connect with Adam:  Website: www.thepaymentdoctor.com  Meet with The Payment Doctor Team  Follow Shannon & Keep What You Earn:    Shannon Weinstein is the founder of a fractional CFO firm specializing in helping 7-figure aesthetics and wellness practices scale with clarity, cash flow, and confidence.

#236: Somebody tells you that you do not have “real world problems” because you can pay to solve things. That line sticks, and we pull it apart from the inside out. We talk about the difference between financial stress and emotional pain, why money can help with a broken sprinkler head but cannot touch grief, heartbreak, disappointment, or the nights you lie awake wondering how you got here. We also get real about privacy and boundaries, because having a platform does not mean everyone is entitled to every detail while we are still processing our own lives. We share the less flashy side of “doing fine” too: growing up poor, taking out student loans, paying off degrees, working multiple jobs, and trying to catch up on retirement before 40. Then we shift into a career gut check, heading back into the emergency room and getting humbled fast. The takeaway is bigger than healthcare: competence includes being willing to say “I don't know,” asking questions, studying again, and learning in public without shame. Finally, we connect body image and beauty standards to the way we judge ourselves and each other. We talk cosmetic choices, second-guessing, and an under-eye filler journey that turned into years of chasing symmetry. The message we keep coming back to is simple and hard: two things can be true at once.

KJ Dillard is the definition of a multi-hyphenate. Before he became a Summer House fan favorite, KJ was a professional skateboarder, genre-defying musician, and model. How has he managed to achieve all of these dreams so fervently? He won't allow anyone to put him in a box. Growing up in Kansas and Arizona, KJ learned early on how to adapt to different circumstances. Initially, he was part of a well-to-do community, but his parents' divorce shifted everything, and he soon found himself in an entirely new world. KJ leaned into his interests and started a band with friends from church, where he rapped and sang as their frontman. He also began to take skateboarding seriously, even though it wasn't very popular. KJ became engrossed in skate culture, obsessing over its rebellious nature and style. His interest blossomed into a nearly ten-year career as a professional skateboarder, during which he inadvertently invented a never-before-seen trick and attracted the attention of the entire skating community. Like that accidentally career-defining moment, KJ seems destined for greatness, no matter the medium.As the first Black male Summer House castmate, KJ had to learn to navigate the new world of reality television with millions of eyes watching. Ever graceful, he's taking the lessons and carrying them into another season. In our conversation, we talk about what it means to give yourself grace when you live and date in the public eye, and how he manages the pressure of being “the first.” KJ models the kind of transparency he hopes inspires other men to open up and share more deeply about what they're feeling. He opened up about his childhood experiences with living with undiagnosed ADHD and having to live with his grandmother. KJ shares that his love for skateboarding has never left him and now serves as a space for self-care. We also cover his return to music and how excited he is to try a new genre and sound. As is his nature, KJ is turning back to the creative outlets that brought him joy as a kid, except now he's sharing them with the world.Tune in as we discuss:0:00 Welcome KJ4:05 Preparing For The Spotlight5:00 Growing Up In Arizona and Kansas5:25 How His Parents' Divorce Changed Their Lives6:25 His Early ADHD Symptoms7:25 KJ's Relationship With His Grandmother8:10 Comparing His Life To His Cousins9:35 Why He Chases Success10:00 KJ's Introduction To Skateboard Culture11:50 The 90s Black Skateboarders Who Inspired Him12:45 Unspoken Skateboard Rules 13:30 His Favorite Skateboard Looks15:50 Iconic Skateboard Brands17:45 Accidentally Inventing A Skateboard Trick20:25 Navigating Reality Television23:15 His Awkward Tyler The Creator Meetup30:00 Pre-Public Appearance Prep30:45 Why KJ Gatekeeps Some Things31:50 His Signature Look33:45 When He Became Interested In Music39:15 Microagressions In The Fashion Industry40:12 Dating In The Public Eye41:25 What He's Learning About Himself 42:20 Emotional Vulnerability Among Friends43:55 KJ's Self-Care Routine45:45 When He Feels The Most BeautifulRate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on AppleJoin the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanetThanks for all the love and support.

Scott Rettberg sits down with philosopher Pierre Cassou-Noguès and artist-researcher Gwenola Wagon to discuss their collaborative theory-fiction book, The Pyromaniac Images (Les Images Pyromanes). Inspired by the 2022 Lande region megafires, they explore how social media and generative AI make ecological catastrophes simultaneously hyper-visible and curiously invisible. The conversation examines the energy costs of AI imagery as a form of "pyromaniac" spectacle, the role of kitsch and banality in generative media, and how speculative fiction can serve as a critical tool for navigating contemporary technological transformation.

The Nancy Meyers Aesthetic: How to Get the Cozy, Collecte Look on a Budget If you love a home that feels warm, collected, welcoming, and just a little bit effortlessly fabulous, there's a good chance you love the Nancy Meyers aesthetic. Think cozy kitchens, slipcovered sofas, stacks of books, flowers on the table, soft lighting, and rooms that look like actual people live there. The good news? You don't need a Nancy Meyers movie budget to bring some of that magic into your own home. In this episode, I'm breaking down the 7 elements that create the Nancy Meyers look and sharing 10 budget-friendly ways to get the feeling in your own home without redecorating from scratch. In This Episode The 7 decorating elements that make a Nancy Meyers-inspired home feel so warm and inviting Why warm neutrals are such a big part of the aesthetic How slipcovered furniture instantly adds that relaxed, collected feeling The secret to getting that gorgeous, layered lighting Why books are basically decor in these homes How natural textures keep neutral spaces from feeling boring The simple fresh touches that make a home feel alive Why the kitchen is the true heart of the home 10 budget-friendly ways to bring the Nancy Meyers aesthetic into your own house The 7 Elements of the Nancy Meyers Aesthetic 1. A warm neutral color palette Think creamy whites, warm beiges, soft taupes, muted blues and other colors that feel calm and timeless rather than stark or trendy. 2. Slipcovered seating Slipcovers give furniture that relaxed, comfortable, come-sit-down feeling that shows up again and again in Nancy Meyers interiors. 3. Abundant, layered lighting These rooms rarely rely on one overhead light. Instead, you'll find lamps, sconces, pendants, and other little pools of light layered throughout the room. 4. Books everywhere Books aren't hidden away. They're stacked, shelved, piled on coffee tables and tucked into corners. They add color, personality and, most importantly, the feeling that someone actually lives here. 5. Natural textures Jute, sisal, linen, wood, wicker and other natural materials bring warmth and texture to all those beautiful neutrals. 6. Fresh touches Flowers, branches, bowls of fruit and other little bits of nature keep these homes from feeling too perfect or static. 7. The kitchen is the heart of the home And we're not hiding all the good stuff in cabinets. Pots, cutting boards, wooden utensils, bowls and cooking tools become part of the decor. The kitchen looks like it's ready to be used. 10 Budget-Friendly Ways to Get the Nancy Meyers Look You don't need to replace your entire house to get this feeling. Start with what you already have. 1. Slipcover your existing seating. Before buying a new sofa, see if your current one can get a whole new personality with a slipcover. 2. Layer your lighting. Add a table lamp, floor lamp or small accent lamp. The goal is to have several sources of warm, inviting light instead of relying on one overhead fixture. 3. Thrift furniture or say yes to the hand-me-downs. That piece of furniture you've always turned down because it's not exactly your style? Take another look. A coat of paint, new hardware or simply placing it in the right room can work wonders. 4. Bring out your books...and remove the dust jackets. Hardcover books without their dust jackets often have beautiful, understated covers that instantly add warmth and personality to a room. 5. Put out bowls of fruit. A big bowl of lemons, apples, oranges or whatever is in season is an inexpensive way to add color and that fresh, lived-in feeling. 6. Try a sisal or jute rug. Natural-fiber rugs add texture and warmth without requiring a complicated pattern or a big decorating budget. 7. Bring the kitchenware out of hiding. Display your cutting boards, wooden spoons, pretty bowls and favorite pots. The things you use every day can also be part of the room's personality. 8. Use mismatched white dishes at dinner. They don't have to match perfectly. A collection of simple white dishes can feel collected, relaxed and beautiful when they're mixed together. 9. Replace heavy drapes with something lighter. Try sheer, linen or linen-look curtains to let more light into the room and create that soft, easy feeling. 10. Frame botanical prints. You can find beautiful botanical artwork inexpensively, especially secondhand. A simple frame and a botanical print can bring in that classic, collected look without a major investment. The Takeaway The Nancy Meyers aesthetic isn't really about having a perfectly decorated house. It's about creating a home that feels warm, comfortable, collected and lived in. And that's the part I hope you take away from this episode. You don't have to buy all new furniture. You don't need a giant decorating budget. And you definitely don't need to turn your home into a movie set. Start with what you already have. Add a little texture. Soften the lighting. Put the books on display. Bring the pretty kitchen things out of the cabinets. Add some flowers or a bowl of fruit. A few small changes can crank up the cozy dial in a big way.

Episode 365 hosts Dr Steven Harris (Cosmetic Physician from London, UK) In this episode, we discuss the growing use of the term "regenerative aesthetics" and what regeneration actually means from a scientific perspective. Steven challenges the terms "collagen stimulation", "biostimulation" and the claims made about common treatments including polynucleotides and exosomes.  We also discuss industry hype, conference sponsorship, his concept of "collective drift", the importance of independent research, accurate before-and-after photography and what better research should look like. 00:00 Introduction 01:17 Meet Our Special Guest: Dr Steven Harris 04:56 Conference Sponsorship Debate 08:59 Defining Regenerative Medicine 11:03 App Plug And Live Chat 12:04 Collagen Vs Regeneration 16:06 Who Fuels The Hype? 18:59 Hierarchy Of Hype Breakdown 21:43 Evidence Quality And Clinic Choices 24:34 Hyalase Analogy And Evidence Bar 29:20 Collective Drift And Anecdotes 30:42 Rejuran Evidence Problems 31:28 Commerce Vs Science 33:31 Exosomes And PN Risks 35:20 Consent And Placebo 37:45 Bad Before And After Photos 41:01 What Studies Are Needed 45:33 Brand Loyalty And Discounts 50:08 Patients Requesting Brands 55:30 Rethinking Regenerative Aesthetics 56:33 Ultrasound Filler Research 58:33 Wrap Up And Call To Action 59:40 Community App Outro RSVP for our 2nd Unfiltered LIVE with Dr Lonny Green DOWNLOAD OUR NEW APP IA COMMUNITY TO JOIN OUR NEW IA PODCAST CHAT : DOWNLOAD FOR APPLE DEVICES DOWNLOAD FOR ANDROID DEVICES ACTIVATE YOUR FREE 30 DAY SUBSCRIPTION (after you've downloaded the app and created a profile): FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS/NON-CLINICAL PROFESSIONALS

  My shortwave mixes go back a long way. My first one was posted almost 20 years ago in April of 2007. Yikes! I love the sound of these mixes and I love creating them. I collect tracks that sound like they'd fit the theme and when I have enough to make a mix I get cracking. Here are all the previous shortwave mixes: https://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/2007/04/drift-on-signal.html https://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/2008/06/ghost-in-phase.html https://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/2010/04/flicker-fade.html https://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/2011/03/distant-transmissions.html https://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/2012/05/on-behavior-of-radio-waves.html https://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/2023/04/lost-in-transmission.html While this mix uses some actual shortwave recordings, it relies more on the individual tracks to provide the radio transmission vibes. And of course snippets of The Conet Project have to find their way into any shortwave mix.

Welcome, friends!Why do we LOVE female rage when it's on a screen, hanging in a museum, or packaged into the perfect TikTok edit, yet become deeply uncomfortable when real women get angry?In this episode, we explore the aesthetics of female rage, from the pressure to remain beautiful and agreeable to the racial stereotypes and double standards that shape how women's anger is perceived. We look at what happens when women swallow their anger, what happens when they finally explode, and why female fury can become so compelling when it's transformed into art, literature and pop culture. And what if rage isn't always an explosion? Sometimes, it simply says: ENOUGH.Are. You. Ready?****************Sources & Further Reading:Brescoll, Victoria L., and Eric Luis Uhlmann.

Dr. Benji Dhillon, owner of Define Clinic in the UK, explains why sustainable growth came from doing fewer things exceptionally well—not chasing every new treatment. He shares how global clinic exposure shaped his approach to patient experience, treatment planning, and patient education, then details the hiring and development systems behind his three-location team. The conversation explores practical onboarding, monthly provider role-play, bimonthly model sessions, quarterly all-team meetings, open financial reporting, and the responsibility everyone shares for business sustainability. Dhillon also introduces Aesthetics 360's anatomy- and evidence-focused cadaver labs, discusses an AI tool for injectable complications, and closes with advice for new injectors: be patient, keep learning, and never assume you are an expert.Talking Points• A compelling patient experience prevents a clinic from becoming a commodity. • Treatment plans simplify choices and strengthen provider guidance. • Asian clinics often build trust through deeper patient education. • Defying Clinics grew after narrowing its focus to core medical aesthetics. • Hiring starts with character, communication, and good hands—not a perfect skills list. • New providers mirror the consultation process before practicing independently. • Monthly role-play and bimonthly model sessions support ongoing clinical development. • Quarterly meetings align culture, treatment planning, finances, and individual performance metrics. • Financial transparency helps teams understand commissions, costs, and business sustainability. • Education should translate anatomy and evidence into bedside decisions. • New injectors should stay patient and never assume they have become experts. • The best clinic investment is the people who deliver the patient experience.Resources from the EpisodeDr. Dhillon InstagramDefine Clinics InstagramSciton Laser TrainingAd LinksMINT Laser Mastery TrackMINT Online E-coursesOmni Bioceuticals

In this episode of Medical Spa Insider, host Alex Thiersch sits down with industry veteran Marco Valle, founder of Aesthetic Sales Hero and Slate Labs. Drawing from his extensive background in corporate aesthetic sales and marketing, Marco shares his unique philosophy on "ethical sales" and explains why providers must reframe consultations around patient-centric education rather than high-pressure tactics.   The conversation explores the balance between human connection and emerging technology. Marco breaks down why practices need to perform an "AI gut check" and details how his new company, Slate Labs, uses targeted AI tools to scale high-touch provider training. Rather than replacing authentic interaction, Marco explains how artificial intelligence can be harnessed to "build better humans," refine practice workflows, and ultimately improve the long-term lifetime value of elective care patients.  Discussion includes: 00:39 – Marco Valle's journey to aesthetic entrepreneurship  07:57 – Defining "ethical sales" in aesthetics 21:50 – The concepts driving Slate Labs 27:47 – Performing an "AI gut check"  34:21 – Strategies for long-term patient relationship management

A packed office doesn't automatically mean a successful event. If you're spending on staff, marketing, and extras without a clear revenue goal or follow-up plan, you may be hosting a nice party instead of a profitable campaign.  In this episode, I sit down with Tami Vileta, founder of Pinpoint, to talk about event marketing for aesthetics practices. We cover patient appreciation events, VIP experiences, referral partnerships, and how to measure event ROI beyond RSVPs.  Start With the Goal, Not the Guest List  Decide what the event needs to accomplish before you plan it. Are you reactivating patients, launching a treatment, building membership loyalty, or generating consultations? Set the financial target first, then work backward into attendance, conversion, and budget.  Treat the Event Like a Campaign  A strong event has a before, during, and after:  Market early enough to build attendance   Capture contact information at RSVP and check-in   Make booking or purchasing easy at the event   Assign follow-up for anyone who showed interest   The event isn't over when people leave. Some of the best revenue can come from follow-up in the days after.  (00:04:27) Planning events with a purpose (00:13:47) Measuring event success and ROI (00:24:51) Building trust without hard selling (00:27:01) Budgeting for events (00:30:25) Turning follow-up into revenue  Patient Experience Comes Before the Pitch  People should leave feeling appreciated, educated, and excited to come back—not like they spent two hours inside a sales funnel. Use education, exclusive invitations, membership perks, and targeted offers to create value without making the event feel transactional.  Events Should Build Lifetime Value  Repeat events, referral partnerships, and thoughtful follow-up can improve retention and lifetime value while showing you what actually converts. As the practice grows, you want a repeatable event strategy that supports revenue, loyalty, and expansion—not another expensive line item you can't measure.

You've heard it said "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." What exactly, though, does that really mean? While it is true we all seem intuitively to know beauty when we see it, we find it difficult to pin down an exact definition of what beauty actually is. Is it subjectively determined or is beauty as objectively real as the stars above us? This week and next on the Profile, we tackle this engrossing question with philosophical theologian and assistant professor of theology at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana. We discuss his new book What Is Beauty? Dennis Bray (PhD, University of St Andrews) is a philosophical theologian who integrates insights from philosophy, biblical and systematic theology, history, and the empirical sciences. He is assistant professor of theology at Taylor University. Thumbnail image credit: The Orion Nebula. NASA, ESA, M.

Growth doesn't come from investing in everything. It comes from knowing what's actually worth investing in and having a strategic approach.In this episode of Beyond Esthetics, we're talking about intentional investments - the choices you make with your money, time, energy, education, and resources that can actually move your career and business forward. Because the newest device, another certification, more products, or the next big trend isn't automatically the answer.Sometimes the best investment is education.Sometimes it's better systems.Sometimes it's mentorship, marketing, your client experience, or simply getting really good at what you already do.The question isn't just, “Can I afford this?”It's also:Does this support where I'm trying to go?Whether you're employed, solo, or building a team, we're breaking down how to think more strategically about what you invest in and how intentional decisions today can create a stronger, more sustainable career tomorrow.Let's rise.

Tyeisha Washington, ARNP has been a caregiver for as long as she can remember. From protecting her younger brother as a child to spending more than two decades in healthcare, caring for others has always been woven into her story. In this episode, Tyeisha shares her path from nursing assistant to board-certified nurse practitioner and entrepreneur. She opens up about the difficult work environment that pushed her to imagine a new path—and how her daughter's diagnosis with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis inspired her to explore a more holistic, personalized approach to wellness. That journey ultimately led Tyeisha to create Glow Hydration Station, Aesthetics & More, a space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to advocate for their health. We explore: The women who recognized Tyeisha's gifts before she fully recognized them herself Her daughter's autoimmune diagnosis and the painful realization that her symptoms had initially been overlooked Why women must trust what their bodies are telling them The relationship between stress, mental health, physical health, and support Tyeisha's approach to education, holistic wellness, supplements, and IV hydration The uncertainty and courage involved in leaving a steady career to become an entrepreneur How a difficult childhood became a source of resilience, compassion, and purpose Tyeisha also reflects on the “deep scar” that became her doorway to the Wild Woman. Rather than allowing her early experiences to define or diminish her, she used them to build a life rooted in strength, service, and stability. Her story is a powerful reminder: listen to your body, trust your inner knowing, and never underestimate what can happen when another woman sees your gifts and says, “Yes, you can.” Connect with Tyeisha Visit Glow Hydration Station, Aesthetics & More and learn more about Tyeisha's primary care, wellness, CNA training, and CPR education services in Iowa City.

This week, Sonia and Jess are officially operating on zero sleep, total brain rot, and whatever energy is left in their luteal phase. Between going to bed at 7:30 PM like senior citizens, blaming the full moon for their total lack of willpower, and managing mother-in-law location-tracking, the girls are one minor inconvenience away from an absolute breakdown. Sonia talks through the extreme logistics of trick-or-treating around a twin pregnancy and why cheap, scratchy costume wigs are a personal insult to high fashion (spoiler: her toddler is getting clip-ins, obviously). Meanwhile, Jess opens up about the hilarious, unglamorous realities of potty training a toddler boy, coming to terms with the constant cleaning, and realizing that heavy-duty Clorox wipes are now her most prized possession. Then, the hyperfixation takes over. The girls spill on their full-blown obsession with Lindsay Clancy verdict live streams, debating courtroom news anchors, admitting that the Massachusetts state seal was officially part of their living room decor, and questioning why the entire internet is living strictly in the headlines. Finally, they tackle the chaotic energy of back-to-school season: from early morning vitamin hacks to save your child's mood, to the sheer, unhinged elegance of sending a 5 year old to kindergarten with macaroni and cheese served hot out of a Yeti tumbler.

Dr. Aleksandra Gajer spent years in emergency medicine then shifted her focus toward helping people get ahead of health problems—not just treat them once they appear. She’s developed a practice that covers all aspects of longevity. Today we chat about metabolic health, hormones, lifestyle, and what it really means to take a more personalized approach to feeling your best. And we’re getting into some of the hottest topics in health right now: GLP-1 medications, peptides, hormone therapy, biological age, weight loss, and even aesthetics. Are these tools the answer or are we sometimes focusing on one piece of the puzzle while missing the bigger picture? In this episode, Dr. Gajer shares her perspective on what it means to strive for health span rather than lifespan and why the goal should be about more than a number on the scale or a number on your biological age test. Today on The Lab Report: 3:40 Meet Dr. Aleksandra Gajer and hear about her journey from the ER 8:05 Approaching the peri-menopausal/menopausal woman 12:20 Biological vs. chronological age 15:00 GLP-1’s and peptides 24:10 Aesthetics and aging skin 26:25 Gajer’s practice (link below) 27:15 The Fireball Additional Resources: The Gajer Practice Genova Connect ***Use promo code TheLabReport20 for 20% off your purchase*** Subscribe, Rate, & Review The Lab Report Thanks for tuning in to this week’s episode of The Lab Report, presented by Genova Diagnostics, with your hosts Michael Chapman and Patti Devers.

Burned out after two decades in psychiatric hospitals, Dr. Daniela Rizzo faced a choice during COVID: keep going, or build something different. She chose to build. In this episode, Tracy Cherpeski talks with Daniela about leaving the hospital model to create a thriving private practice that runs on her terms—fewer patients, extended 60–90 minute intakes, and a clinical environment that feels as much like a spa as a doctor's office.  Daniela shares the step-by-step journey of starting a practice: defining your vision first, then navigating legal structures, financial setup, and building visibility. She explains why combining practice areas (psychiatry, aesthetics, longevity medicine) makes more sense than you'd think, how trust is your best marketing tool, and why small touches—still water, espresso, genuine presence—matter more than expensive marketing campaigns.  You'll also hear about her guide for residents who want to start practices, and her upcoming book The Longevity Kitchen, which teaches that food is the first prescription. If you've wondered whether private practice is possible or how to build one that doesn't feel like hospital burnout 2.0, this conversation is for you.  Read the full show notes, memorable quotes, and key takeaways.  Connect With Us:  Be a Guest on the Show  Thriving Practice Community  Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy  Tracy's LinkedIn  Business LinkedIn Page 

Hiring is already expensive. Weak contracts, unclear roles, or the wrong worker classification can make it a lot more expensive later.  In this episode, I sit down with Sarah, a healthcare attorney and former med spa owner, to talk about the legal and financial gaps that show up as practices grow. We cover partnership agreements, W-2 vs. 1099 classification, job descriptions, expansion risk, and how poor documentation can hurt enterprise value.  Put It in Writing Before You Need It  Partnerships and employment relationships are easiest when everyone agrees. That's when you should document pay, responsibilities, expectations, and what happens if things change. Job descriptions should also match the work people are actually doing—not a generic template. If the paperwork says one thing and the practice does another, that's where risk starts. Fix the Legal Cracks Before You Scale  Before you add another location, provider, or partner, check the foundation:  Make sure agreements match the real working relationship  Review W-2 vs. 1099 classification  Update job descriptions as roles change  Confirm payroll and scheduling support the classification  If the first location still runs on workarounds, a second one will multiply the risk.  (00:04:35) Starting without the right paperwork  (00:11:39) Risks of expanding too early  (00:20:25) Why documentation matters  (00:23:59) Preparing for a smoother sale  (00:28:10) W-2 versus 1099 classification  "1099 Employee" Is Not a Thing  Worker classification isn't based on preference. Control, scheduling, exclusivity, and the actual relationship matter. Part-time doesn't automatically mean contractor, either. Misclassification can mean penalties, unenforceable agreements, and ugly surprises during due diligence.  Buyers Pay More for Less Risk  Clean financials matter, but buyers also look at contracts, payroll, staff arrangements, and how much cleanup they'll inherit. Tightening those areas now can make the practice easier to scale today and easier to sell later.  About Sara Shikhman:  Sara Shikhman is an experienced healthcare lawyer and entrepreneur with over 16 years of expertise.

Fascism has been called “the aestheti-cization of politics.” Nazis and Italian Fascists both made visual culture, art, even fashion part of their destructive programs. Now the far-right in the U.S. is taking lessons from history, selling its ideas through memes, and hate-filled videos.

Send us Fan MailJOIN ME FOR A THRIVE SOLO TRIP TO ITALY IN APRIL 2027! https://www.explore.co.uk/thrivesolo-italyMy fabulous guest on this week's episode is aesthetic practitioner and content creator, Nadiya Bekar. Nadiya is 54, single, childfree, lives in North London with her sausage dog, Chilli, and is loving her single life. Those of you who follow me on Instagram might have seen a reel I did a few weeks ago where I say "I cannot be arsed with romantic relationships", "I cannot be arsed to go on dates" etc etc - and it went viral - which was 100% thanks to Nadiya who did a similar reel which gave me the inspiration for mine. So, that's how we connected. I then asked her to come on the podcast, and I am so, so glad that I did because I absolutely loved her. While Nadiya is successful in work and in life, she herself admits that she doesn't have the greatest track record when it comes to romantic relationships, and she's been single this time around for 2 years. In our conversation, we talk all about her relationship history and why she says that many of her previous boyfriends didn't even like her; she tells me about getting sober following years of heavy drinking that was really impacting her life, not to mention her relationships; we talk about how she knew she didn't want kids at the age of 9, but how having a dog has brought out her maternal side; we also talk about that dreaded question "Aren't you worried about who's going to look after you when you're older?” as well as Nadiya's career as an aesthetic practitioner, including details of some of the injectable treatments that she does on her clients. Check out Nadiya's website: https://www.nadiyabekar.com/Follow Nadiya on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nadiyabekarlondonContact Nadiya via email: bekarbeauty@gmail.com  Support the showJOIN MY ITALY TRIP IN APRIL 2027: https://www.explore.co.uk/thrivesolo-italyBuy my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/bookJoin my membership community for single women, Thrive Solo: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/thrivesoloDownload my FREE PDF 'Top 10 Comebacks for the MostAnnoying Questions Single Women Get Asked' Go to: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/comebacksCheck out my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thrivesolowithlucymeggeson Join my private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=shareFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thrivesolowithlucymeggeson/Email me: lucy@lucymeggeson.com And thank you so much for listening!

Per-unit pricing for neuromodulators feels logical because that's how you buy the product. But it can create billing anxiety, invite negotiation, and keep patients focused on units instead of results.  In this solo episode, I break down how per-area pricing can improve the patient experience and make revenue more predictable. We'll look at margins, EMR data, and how to price around outcomes without guessing. Patients Shouldn't Be Doing Math in the Chair  When patients have to calculate units during a consultation, price becomes part of the treatment decision. They may ask for fewer units to stay on budget, which can compromise the result. Flat upper face, lower face, or full face pricing shifts the conversation back to the outcome and lets the injector recommend what's appropriate. Build Flat Pricing From Your Own Data  Don't pick a flat rate because it sounds cleaner. Start with your numbers:  Pull average usage by treatment area from your EMR  Include product, labor, injector commission, and membership discounts  Calculate loaded cost and target gross margin  Keep per-unit pricing where precision treatments need it  Some appointments will run higher and some lower. What matters is that the averages come from real usage and the margin holds.  (00:04:35) Pricing concerns in cosmetic procedures (00:07:36) Managing patient expectations and value (00:13:22) Benefits of flat pricing (00:16:06) Shifting toward outcome-based pricing  Take Negotiation Out of the Treatment Room  Patients should be deciding whether the treatment plan fits their goals and budget—not negotiating units with the injector. Clear pricing gives your team more room to educate and recommend the right treatment. Predictable Pricing Makes Growth Easier  Price from actual usage and your full cost structure, and you'll get cleaner margins, more predictable revenue, and fewer cash flow surprises. As you scale, a repeatable pricing model is also easier to train and use across providers.

He breaks down how being a hyper responder shaped his approach to PEDs (less is more), the problem with influencers recommending a gram of testosterone or 400-500mg of Trenbolone to beginners, why he believes GLP-1s are essentially cheating in competition prep, why he thinks no one in the open division is bringing diet face anymore, how barbell rows and training back twice a week transformed his physique, the mental shift from training angry to training joyful after his faith walk, his four and a half years of depression post-retirement, how he turned down Hollywood roles he felt were degrading, and his anticipation of becoming a father for the first time at 46.
