Relentless Health Value
EP489: Achieving Mission That Is a Path to Margin at a Multispecialty Practice, With Dan Greenleaf

Relentless Health Value

This show today is a continuation of our mission/margin series because I wanted to drag into my investigation here what clinical organizations are up to, especially ones that have brought in professional capital, as they say. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. Before I kick in here, let me just remind everyone of a few themes that we have been poking in the eyeballs in the past few months over here at Relentless Health Value. First, patients cannot afford care. Listen to the show with Mark Cuban and Cora Opsahl (EP488) mentioning middle-class wage stagnation. Listen to the show with Merrill Goozner (EP388). Listen to the show with Wayne Jenkins, MD (EP358). It is a crapshoot to get medical care these days. Roll the dice and hope you don't get a bankrupting bill at the end. There's no transparency (or very little) for patients. No accountability or interest from many. Not all but many take no responsibility for their financial impact on their patients or members. And look, I am in no way speaking for the vast majority of doctors or nurses or pharmacists or PAs or even really good administrators or anybody else involved in clinical care. In fact, if you listen to the show with Komal Bajaj, MD (EP458) about how many clinicians do not actually trust their leadership will do right by patients or even the clinicians themselves, then yeah. This is undeniably the broad stroke of this industry we all work in. Many take no responsibility for their financial impact on their patients or members. That is the first theme. Here's the second theme. It's this motto: If you can take it, take as much as you can get. And throwing no shade, but let's just get real about that. Right now, healthcare is an industry just like any other industry. And when I say industry, I mean the tax-exempt so-called nonprofits as much as anybody else. Said another way, corporate healthcare leaders, just like any other business leaders, have every incentive to see prices go up. That is just the way commerce works. Listen to the show with Jonathan Baran (EP483, Part 1), the ones with Kevin Lyons (EP487, Part 1 and Part 2). But what is different than most other commerce endeavors when it comes to healthcare, and Shane Cerone from Kada says this in an upcoming episode, he says, “We don't have a broken healthcare market. In many parts of the country, there is no healthcare market. The market does not exist.” And thus prices can go up like rocket ships, because self-insured employers—and also public plan sponsors a lot of times, like state health plans—are, on the whole, just such unsophisticated buyers, price elasticity is, like, nonexistent. No matter how high the price, plan sponsors still contract for who's ever in the network; and they and their members ante up and pay the price. Many good and maybe not-so-good reasons for this (not getting into them), but net net, the result is a nonmarket. Anyone who wants to debate my corporate healthcare entities or big consolidated healthcare entities act just like any other corporate entity, read the recent Substack by Preston Alexander. It's about hospitals raising capital with bonds. Preston Alexander wrote, “The financial design of the system has turned what should be a largely altruistic service, one designed for public good and societal benefit, and forced it to act like a financial institution.” And so, with those bonds, welcome Wall Street. What do Wall Street bankers think about patient care and access and community health? Oh, they don't think about those things at all. Municipal bond returns, baby. That's it. Bonds are an investment where people who invest in them, returns are expected, just like shareholders who want their dividends. Preston Alexander wrote, “Most larger health systems carry billions (that was a ‘b' back there) in bond liabilities.” It costs money to build buildings and add beds and consolidate, yo; but now they are subject to the same pressures as publicly traded companies. So then I got my hands on Dan Greenleaf, CEO of Duly, a multispecialty group in Chicago. I was absolutely intrigued from the starting gate because Dan told me that mission can actually beget margin in his view, and he even, at Duly, has private equity investors. So, yeah, I was all ears. Dan Greenleaf, who is my guest today, by the way, if you haven't figured that out, told me that because of, but not limited to, the trends above wildly high prices, high premiums, high deductibles, more consolidation, fewer options, scared, confused, and maybe outraged patients—listen to the show with Peter Hayes (EP475)—Dan said that, given this backdrop, actually focusing on mission is a huge competitive advantage. Justina Lehman (EP414) actually also said this in a show from a few years ago. Dan told me, Dan Greenleaf, when you succeed at mission, you can get yourself decent margin these days. So, in this first episode, we will talk about this mission of which Dan Greenleaf speaks; and then in part 2 coming at you next week, we'll get into how that all spells margin. Here's what I thought was super important about this whole mission/margin conversation, and Mick Connors, MD, in a show coming up, also touches on this: To achieve mission, you really have to define what mission means. Ben Schwartz, MD, MBA (EP481) said this, too, in so many words in the show from last summer. And that doesn't mean just have a gloriously well-written Web page, and you just can't have spreadsheets of random quality metrics either. You have to treat the mission like you treat any strategic imperative. You gotta break it down and figure out how you're gonna measure what you're actually doing. Rik Renard (EP427) talked about this one, too. At Duly, which Dan Greenleaf talks about in this episode, the focus is on four quadrants of mission: (1) affordability, (2) access, (3) consumer experience, and (4) quality. In this conversation, Dan emphasizes that achieving these four quadrants reduces friction for patients and clinicians and leads to better care outcomes and financial stability. To be noted with one big fat fluorescent highlighter marker is this: A big part of this mission, in almost each of these quadrants, is about making prices reasonable and predictable and transparent for patients. In today's world, that's what customer experience must include—not just, like, lemon water in the waiting room. That struck me the most. And all this focus on affordability really adds up across the community. In Chicago, lower-cost alternatives to hospital services can save up to $2 billion. That is also with a “b.” And the communities are also healthier. Crazy. Hey, make sure patients and members can afford and have access to quality healthcare, and the community gets healthier. Who would've thought? Dan Greenleaf, CEO of Duly, my guest today, has been in healthcare for 30 years. This podcast is sponsored by Aventria Health Group, but I do just wanna mention that Duly so kindly offered Relentless Health Value some financial support, which we truly, truly appreciate. So, call this episode also sponsored with an assist by Duly. Here's my conversation with Dan Greenleaf, and do come back next week for part 2 like I said earlier. Today we talk mission.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Garrett Jones and Ricardo Sime to the show to talk about potential alternatives to some of the most popular luxury watches. This idea, over the years, has proven to be one of the central questions and debates among watch enthusiasts. If you started your watch journey on the forums before Instagram was the central hub of the watch community, you no doubt came across countless threads asking for advice on alternatives to the most iconic (and often expensive) luxury watches. We look at two watches, the Rolex Submariner and the Cartier Tank, and come up with a handful of alternatives for each. We also discuss the merits of thinking about collecting in this way, and if an alternative can ever really scratch the itch for the “real” thing. We'd love to know your thoughts. Have you ever picked up one watch as an alternative to another? What do you think of our picks as substitutes for the Tank and Submariner?

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1166: Tesla's new “affordable” EVs aren't quite the bargain they seem, Ford's return-to-office mandate sparks employee backlash, and Mattel teams up with OpenAI's Sora 2 to reimagine how toys come to life.Show Notes with links:Tesla's newest “Standard” versions of the Model 3 and Model Y were meant to bring affordability back to the brand — but the math tells another story. Despite cutting prices, the value gap is slim and the features list is slimmer.The Model 3 starts at $36,990 and the Model Y at $39,990, both roughly $5,000 cheaper than premium trims.The missing features? Autosteer, rear seat heating, power mirrors, LED lightbar, and even a proper glass roof — now covered with a liner.Tesla removed $6,000–$8,000 worth of equipment, yet financed rates make monthly payments just $78 less than the higher-trim versions.When the $7,500 U.S. EV tax credit was still active, Tesla's premium trims actually cost less than these new “affordable” models — a Model Y Long Range, for example, effectively came in around $37,500 after incentives, versus $39,990 now with no credit.Analysts warn the cars may cannibalize existing sales without attracting new buyers under $30k.“It's basically a pricing lever, not a product catalyst,” said Shay Boloor of Futurum Equities, calling Tesla's move more smoke than spark.Ford's big push to bring employees back four days a week isn't going smoothly. After new attendance rules took effect in September, some workers say they were threatened with termination—even while following the policy.Ford ordered most white-collar staff to return four days a week starting Sept. 1, citing collaboration and growth goals.Automated emails warned some workers they could be fired for low badge-ins, even those meeting approved hybrid schedules.HR leaders admitted the system “caught up people doing the right things” and said future messaging would be revised.Employees cite burnout, overcrowded offices, and frustration over rigid schedules that make cross-time-zone work harder.Mattel is teaming up with OpenAI to test Sora 2, the latest AI video-generation tool that turns sketches into lifelike product visuals — and could reinvent how toys are designed and pitched.The partnership lets Mattel designers transform early sketches into video concepts in minutes using OpenAI's API.CEO Sam Altman said the goal is to “bring product ideas to life more quickly.”The collaboration marks one of the first real-world tests of Sora 2 since OpenAI's Developer Day showcase.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:03 ASOTU Edge Webinar TODAY2:14 Tesla Debuts "Standard" Model 3 and Model Y7:40 Ford Struggles with Return-To-Office Mandate10:58 MaJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Health Insurance or Medical Cost Sharing: Which Is Right for You? with Lauren Gajdek

Health insurance or health cost-sharing—which is the better fit for your family? With open enrollment upon us, it's the perfect moment to explore your choices. Joining me today is Lauren Gajdek to highlight the key differences between health insurance and health cost-sharing.Lauren Gajdek is the Senior Director of External Affairs at Christian Healthcare Ministries (CHM), an underwriter of Faith & Finance. The Landscape of Traditional Health InsuranceOpen enrollment season is right around the corner—running from November 1 through January 15, 2026. For most people, that means navigating the world of traditional health insurance. These plans typically require you to select doctors and specialists within a designated provider network, often necessitating referrals or pre-authorization before receiving care.While insurance companies provide coverage, their structure can come at a high cost. Premiums and deductibles are often steep, and because insurers operate for profit, patient care and affordability don't always align. For many families, this creates a significant financial burden.How Health Cost Sharing Is DifferentHealth cost-sharing ministries, such as CHM, offer a unique alternative. The end result is the same—your medical bills are taken care of—but the process looks very different.No provider networks: Members are free to choose their own doctors and hospitals.Nonprofit model: Unlike insurance companies, CHM is a ministry. Members send in a set monthly contribution, which is pooled together to reimburse medical costs.Community approach: Instead of being absorbed into a bureaucratic system, members know that their contributions directly help fellow believers in need.Since its founding, CHM has facilitated over $10 billion in shared medical bills.How Does Health Cost-Sharing Work?Here's how it works for a typical family:Choose your provider. Members can see any doctor or hospital as long as the treatment fits CHM's guidelines.Identify as self-pay. This allows members to receive significant discounts often, sometimes as high as 40%.Submit bills to CHM. The ministry coordinates with providers as needed. In the meantime, members may set up a temporary payment plan until reimbursement arrives.The process is straightforward, designed to give families peace of mind while also offering flexibility and savings.What to Keep in Mind During Open EnrollmentWhen weighing your options, consider more than just the monthly premium. Ask:How much am I actually paying out-of-pocket after deductibles, co-pays, and coinsurance?Will my coverage travel with me if I go out of state—or out of the country?With CHM, members don't face co-pays or coinsurance, and qualifying medical bills are shared 100% according to ministry guidelines. Additionally, portability makes it an appealing option for families who want flexibility, regardless of where life takes them.A Biblical Approach to HealthcareAt its core, CHM is more than a healthcare solution—it's a ministry. Members not only share medical expenses but also pray for one another and receive prayer support in return. Every monthly contribution is a gift that directly helps another member in need.CHM reflects biblical principles of bearing one another's burdens while providing a practical, affordable path to healthcare.To explore whether health cost sharing is right for your family this open enrollment season, visit CHMinistries.org/Faith.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm refinancing my home and am unsure whether I should roll the closing costs into the new loan or pay them from my investments or retirement accounts. Rolling them into the loan would lower my monthly payment, but is that the wisest choice financially—and biblically?Could you explain where the funds actually come from with a reverse mortgage, who technically owns the home in this arrangement, and whether the FHA backs the loan?My wife and I recently took a required minimum distribution from her IRA and made a qualified charitable distribution to our church. They told us it wasn't tax-deductible and wouldn't issue a receipt.

400 Starlink Internet for Pilots: Safety, Costs, and Future Tech with Sporty's Bret Koebbe

Aviation News Talk podcast

Max talks with Bret Koebbe, Vice President of Sporty's Pilot Shop, about how Starlink internet access is entering general aviation cockpits and what that means for pilots today and in the future. For decades, cockpit connectivity was mostly reserved for the airlines. Systems like Gogo provided limited bandwidth, required expensive antennas, and were impractical for piston aircraft. GA pilots relied on ADS-B weather, portable receivers, or Iridium text messaging to stay connected. That landscape has shifted with the Starlink Mini, a portable satellite dish small enough to fit in a 182 or Cirrus, delivering broadband internet in flight.   Benefits for Pilots Bret outlines the legitimate safety advantages. Pilots can text family or FBOs, update arrival times, and share real-time position updates. More importantly, Starlink could enable widespread filing of PIREPs directly from an iPad, improving weather data for all. Weather cameras, now integrated into ForeFlight, could become accessible in flight, offering pilots actual visual conditions instead of relying solely on METARs or AWOS reports. Risks and Distractions But Starlink also poses serious distraction risks. Bret shares a personal story: during a family trip, he streamed an NFL game mid-flight, only to realize within seconds how dangerously it diverted his attention. He immediately shut it off, but the experience was a powerful reminder of how alluring the technology is. Max underscores that the NTSB lists distractions as a top factor in loss-of-control accidents, and Starlink could easily become an “attractive nuisance” in cockpits. Cost and Service Plans Starlink Mini hardware is about $499, and the Local Priority plan runs $65/month for 50 GB, sufficient for most piston pilots. For corporate pilots and jets, the Global Priority plan at $250/month supports higher speeds and offshore operations. Bret explains the differences in speed limitations (350 mph for Local Priority vs 550 mph for Global Priority) and how to choose based on aircraft type and mission. Mounting and Power Solutions Because Starlink Mini lacks an internal battery, powering it is key. Bret recommends Sporty's Flight Gear Max Battery, capable of outputting 140 watts via USB-C, giving about three hours of Starlink runtime. For longer flights, higher-capacity solutions exist. Mounting options include suction cup mounts for rear windows (ideal in high-wing Cessnas and Cirrus aircraft) or side-window solutions in low-wing and corporate jets. Positioning is critical—blocking the dish with wings can cause dropouts. Practical Tips Bret offers pilot-tested tips: Create a custom iPad Focus Mode that blocks notifications except for critical texts when ForeFlight is open. Establish SOPs—use Starlink only in cruise and disconnect before descent. Enable Low Data Mode on devices to prevent iCloud or app background syncing from eating up gigabytes. Don't rely on Starlink radar or traffic feeds, which have even more latency than ADS-B. The Future of Connected Cockpits Looking ahead, Bret sees huge potential. Automatic turbulence reporting from onboard sensors could update in real time if aircraft have internet connections. Engine monitor data could be streamed to ground support for diagnostics, offering pilots in-flight decision support. Eventually, Starlink-enabled cockpits could complement FAA datalink systems like CPDLC, streamlining communication and safety services. Final Thoughts This milestone Episode 400 illustrates how cockpit technology continues to evolve rapidly. Affordable internet access brings new possibilities for safety, convenience, and passenger comfort, but it also requires disciplined use to prevent dangerous distractions. As Bret and Max agree, the future of aviation will be defined by how responsibly pilots integrate these new tools. Whether you fly a piston single, a turboprop, or a corporate jet, Starlink is likely to shape your cockpit experience in the coming years. This episode gives pilots the knowledge to make informed decisions as they consider adopting Starlink for their aircraft.

What if getting laid off was actually the push you needed to build the life you wanted? Lauren Gibson is a writer and email marketing strategist who helps founders, agency owners, and coaches grow through newsletters and community-building. She's worked across human rights, tech, and entrepreneurship, including the co-founder of Ethereum on a DeFi project. After traveling to 44 countries, earning her MBA at Georgetown, and getting laid off from the NFT market in 2023, Lauren turned what could have been devastating into the catalyst she needed to build her own business. This episode is packed with unique insights on the psychological challenges of transitioning from employee to entrepreneur, especially for highly educated professionals. She's discovered that people with advanced degrees often struggle more because they've been trained to value their worth through employer validation. Her journey from relief at being laid off to building a profitable business in under a year shows that sometimes the scariest moments become the biggest opportunities. Lauren also shares how she overcame analysis paralysis, dropped her ego to take on pro bono work, and built her business through organic marketing. Her insights on the future of work, email lists versus social media, and why consistency beats passion offer practical wisdom for anyone considering the entrepreneurial leap   Key Takeaways: Higher Education Can Make Entrepreneurship Harder. Advanced degree holders often struggle more because they're conditioned to seek employer validation. You Can't Connect the Dots Looking Forward. Planning everything perfectly leads to paralysis; start doing and figure it out as you go. Drop Your Ego and Do Free Work Initially. Pro bono clients help you build testimonials and transition from employee to business owner mindset. Consistency Beats Passion in Business. Passion fades regularly, but consistent daily actions keep you moving through tough times. Email Lists Are 42x More Valuable Than Social Media. Focus on building your email list since subscribers are more likely to convert. Connections Drive the Future of Work. As AI automates tasks, human connections become the primary differentiator and value creator. Structure Your Day Like a Company Would. Without a boss setting your schedule, create your own daily routines and stick to them.   Listen to the full conversation here: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@risingtidestartups Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rising-tide-startups/id1330525474 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2eq7unl70TRPsBhjLEsNZR Connect with Lauren: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/linkwithlauren/ Letter Launched: https://letterlaunched.com/ Website: https://laurenrosegibson.com/   Closing thought: You can't connect the dots looking forward.

We start with the on-going invasion of many Wisconsin communities by energy and water sucking data centers. While profiting Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and Big Utilities these projects threaten to accelerate runaway climate change and spike already unaffordable utility prices. While state and local economic development boosters, including the Evers Administration, throw public money at data centers without considering the massive environmental costs and limited economic impact, a few brave communities are standing up in places such as Menomonie and Caledonia. We need to refocus public policy on addressing the climate crisis, not economical development boondogles that light the planet on fire. We encourage people to attend this Sunday's Climate March at the Capitol in Madison at Noon. Meanwhile Trump, Vance, and their minions rush to politicize the violent attack on ICE office in Dallas before the facts are in, blaming Democratic and left wing truth-telling about the abuses of Trump's immigration crackdown. There is a problem with political incendiary language, that it come from the President, Vice President, and MAGA, not elected progressives and mainline Democrats. We talk about the potential of a government shutdown, and the Trump Regime impact in Wisconsin this week, including Derrick Van Ordin's demand to cut off federal dollars to the City of Eau Claire, Ellsworth, and Mayo Clinic in retaliation for social media posts. Citizen Action Board member and former state Representative Sandy Pasch joins us to warn our listeners about a terrible new bill in Madison that restricts free speech in the name of fighting antisemitism by making legitimate and First Amendement protected cricism of Israel into hate speech. The bill is yet another authoritarian attempt to empower governmet crackdowns against civil society groups and free speech. Sandy calls for our listeners to reach out to their state representative and senators to oppose AB 446, and support alternative legislation that meaningfully addresses antisemitism. Finally, we welcome Chris Gooding, Theology professor and union leader at Marquette University, to update our listeners on the Jesuit university's union busting in the name of God. We discussed how this anti-union strategy spread this month to Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, where the university walked away from negotiations with their workers, prompting outrage on campus and a strike vote.

Church Real Estate and Finance, with Mark Elsdon

The church is so much more than a building—but when it comes to managing the physical property of church real estate, we often overlook the great good that can emerge from the land and structures. In this episode, social entrepreneur, strategic executive, and author Mark Elsdon joins Mark Labberton on Conversing to explore how churches and faith communities can reimagine their assets—land, buildings, and money—as instruments for mission, community transformation, and spiritual flourishing. From his decades of work at Pres House in Madison, Wisconsin, to his role as consultant, author, and co-leader of RootedGood, Elsdon shares stories of innovation, courage, and the hard but hopeful work of repurposing property and resources for God's mission in the world. Episode Highlights “It isn't about property, nor is it about money. It's about people's lives and it's about God's work in people's lives.” “We often have the faith of our forebears in the church. But the question is, do we have the courage of them?” “I don't think God's going away. I don't think God's declining. But the way people are engaging their faith is really changed and is changing.” “Sometimes I talk about this as like the Blockbuster Video moment… People still want experiences of the divine. They just don't want to access it primarily on a Sunday morning.” “Constraints can produce creativity and, in the life of faith, can also produce a willingness to trust.” Helpful Links and Resources Mark Elsdon's Website *We Aren't Broke: Uncovering Hidden Resources for Mission and Ministry,* by Mark Elsdon *Gone for Good?

He is the author of We Aren't Broke: Uncovering Hidden Resources for Mission and Ministry (2021) and editor of Gone for Good? Negotiating the Coming Wave of Church Property Transition (2024). In addition to his role as a director with RootedGood, Mark is also executive director at Pres House, where he led the transformation of a dormant non-profit into a growing, vibrant, multi-million-dollar organization. Mark has a BA in psychology from the University of California–Berkeley, a master of divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary, and an MBA from the University of Wisconsin School of Business. He is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church, USA, and lives in Madison, Wisconsin. Mark is an avid cyclist and considers it a good year when he rides more miles on his bike than he drives in his car. Show Notes Mark Elsdon reflects on thirty years of ministry, beginning with campus work at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Launch of a $17 million student housing project that became a transformative ministry for thousands of students. Elsdon's discovery: “It isn't about property, nor is it about money. It's about people's lives and it's about God's work in people's lives.” Creation of a sober housing program at Pres House that has saved the state of Wisconsin more than a million dollars in addiction-related costs. Innovative blend of mission, ministry, and real estate development to foster student flourishing. The unique impact of housing students in recovery alongside the wider student population. Elsdon's MBA studies at UW–Madison and his calling at the intersection of money and mission. The “Blockbuster Video moment” for American Christianity: people still seek meaning, community, and transcendence, but not in traditional formats. Challenges churches face with aging buildings, declining attendance, and financial strain. How repurposing property reveals new opportunities for mission and ministry. RootedGood's “Good Futures” Accelerator course: helping churches rethink land, buildings, and resources for social enterprise and revenue generation. Example of two congregations in Madison merging to create an environmentally sustainable multifamily housing project and community center. Redefining church property as community space: “flipping the script” so the building belongs to the neighborhood, with the church as anchor tenant. Courage, risk-taking, and letting go of past models are essential for churches to reimagine their future. The critical role of pastoral and lay leadership in sparking change and vision. Storytelling as central to church renewal: “We often have the faith of our forebears in the church. But the question is, do we have the courage of them?” Learning from the pandemic: every church has the capacity for innovation and adaptation. Honouring grief and loss while embracing resurrection hope in church property transitions. Example from San Antonio: members resisted redevelopment until their need for funerals in the sanctuary was acknowledged—turning “either/or” into “both/and.” Affordable housing crisis intersects directly with church land opportunities. Turner Center study: California churches and colleges hold land equal to five Oaklands suitable for affordable housing development. Elsdon warns against cookie-cutter “models” and emphasizes local context, story, and creativity. Forecast: up to 100,000 church properties in the US may be sold or repurposed in the next decade. Elsdon's hope: more repurposing than selling, with land and buildings becoming assets for life-giving mission. The value of constraints: “Constraints can produce creativity and, in the life of faith, can also produce a willingness to trust.” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

His thesis is simple but surprising: the capital flows and risk assessments at the very top of the pyramid are being reshaped by renter bifurcation and the economics of affordability. Here are five questions Greg answered that every serious CRE professional should consider: Why does the 10-year Treasury matter more than the Fed's 25 bps rate cut last week? How fragile is today's economy, and what does that mean for institutional portfolio construction? How can understanding the “barbell” of renter demand help you make better investment decisions? Why has naturally affordable multifamily historically outperformed luxury on a risk-adjusted basis? Where are institutions actually deploying capital today and why? Greg's insights are drawn from the institutional world, where the stakes are measured in billions and the lens is long-term risk management. For sponsors and operators, listening in offers a rare chance to see how these investors are evaluating markets - and to align your own strategies accordingly. ***   In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape.

What if the problem isn't finding talent, but that we're all looking for it in the wrong places? Nick Petros is a serial entrepreneur who's appeared on Rising Tide Startups three times now, and for good reason. He's got that restless entrepreneurial itch that sees better ways to do things everywhere he looks, even when it's been "extremely expensive to operate this way." Nick's latest venture is Freely, a platform that's trying to replace the resume and revolutionize how companies find fractional talent. But this isn't his first rodeo. He previously built MyDash, a data integration service, and PinchForth, which started as a growth marketing agency before evolving into something much larger. What sets Nick apart is his experience watching the agency space become "toxic really fast." He's seen how the race to the bottom pricing and endless competition for the same clients create a system where nobody really wins. His experience building Pinchforth taught him that founders don't need agencies to just "do it for them," they need specific expertise delivered by people who are genuinely skilled at what they do. This insight led him to realize that the real problem isn't a lack of talent, it's that we're stuck in outdated hiring models that focus on resumes instead of actual skills. Key Takeaways: Skills Matter More Than Resumes. The most successful professionals are evaluated on performance and abilities, not educational backgrounds or credentials. Fractional Work Is the Future. Remote work is creating opportunities for people to build careers serving multiple clients instead of one employer. Marketplaces Create Race-to-the-Bottom Pricing. Traditional platforms like Fiverr commoditize services and force providers to compete on price rather than value. Pre-Qualified Leads Change Everything. When providers pay to connect with businesses, both sides are more serious about creating value. Most Agencies Got Lucky, Not Smart. The biggest agencies succeeded by riding the wave with amazing brands rather than driving their growth. Businesses Want Line of Sight, Not Options. Companies prefer choosing from three qualified providers over sorting through 600 random applicants. Community-Driven Expertise Builds Trust. Platforms work better when users establish expertise by helping others rather than just promoting themselves.   Listen to the full conversation here: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@risingtidestartups Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rising-tide-startups/id1330525474 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2eq7unl70TRPsBhjLEsNZR Connect with Nick: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickpetros/ My Dash: https://www.mydash.ai/ HireFreely: https://www.hirefreely.co/ Closing thought: "Work the way you want to work."

Maternal-fetal medicine fellow Frank I. Jackson discusses his article "Affordable postpartum hemorrhage solutions every OB/GYN should know." Frank explains how postpartum hemorrhage remains a leading cause of maternal mortality, especially in low-resource settings where advanced devices like the JADA® System are inaccessible. He introduces two innovative, low-cost techniques—FOCUS (Foley catheter for uterine suction) and STUT (suction tube uterine tamponade)—that replicate the life-saving mechanism of expensive devices but with tools found in nearly every labor ward. Frank shares evidence from recent clinical trials, describes practical steps for implementation, and emphasizes why every obstetric provider should learn these methods.

Finding a job in today's economy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone. With interest rates remaining high and the job market slowing, this is a strategic moment to refresh your job search. By combining diligence, adaptability, and prayerful preparation, you can approach this season with confidence rooted in God's wisdom.Proverbs 27:12 reminds us: “The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.” Preparation matters—not just in life but in your job search. With the right approach, you can steward your time, skills, and relationships wisely while trusting God to guide your steps.A great place to start is your resume. Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) filter applications before a human ever reviews them, so tailoring your resume to each job description is essential. Use specific keywords, highlight measurable results, and connect your experience directly to the role. Think of it as stewardship—presenting your God-given abilities thoughtfully and effectively.Building Relationships That Open DoorsEven in a digital age, networking is still king. Studies show up to 85% of jobs are filled through referrals, and many roles are never posted publicly. Reconnect with colleagues, reach out to mentors, and don't overlook your church community. Genuine, relational conversations—built on curiosity rather than transaction—often lead to opportunities you couldn't find otherwise.Employers are also seeking adaptable learners. Developing skills in areas like AI, digital communication, or project management shows you're willing to grow. Affordable platforms like Coursera, edX, and Google Career Certificates make it easy to build new skills that employers value.Standing Out in a Digital WorldYour online presence is often the first impression an employer has. More than 70% of hiring managers review social media profiles, and nearly half say what they find influences their decision. Clean up questionable content, complete your LinkedIn profile, and stay active with thoughtful updates. Treat it as your digital business card—when you remain visible, opportunities are more likely to find you.Interviews have also shifted online. Prepare your space, dress professionally, and look into the camera to build connection. Small details—like lighting, posture, and a thank-you note afterward—leave a lasting impact.Trusting God in the ProcessA slowing job market can stir up fear, but Philippians 4:6–7 offers comfort: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”Preparation and diligence matter, but so do prayer and trust. God orders your steps. Every interview, every connection, and every opportunity is part of His greater story for your life. Search faithfully, not fearfully, knowing He is your ultimate provider.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:What is the statute of limitations for a collection agency to pursue a debt I still owe?I'm thinking about applying for Social Security Disability because of a physical condition from my recent job.
