Ryan Heath, founder of The Gavel Project, joins BS Free MD for a powerful conversation on the intersection of law, medicine, and free speech. Heath shares updates on his high-profile lawsuit against the Arizona Association of Realtors—a case involving a realtor punished for posting political and faith-based memes. But this isn't just a real estate story. It's about how private organizations that control economic access—like medical boards and hospitals—can be held accountable for silencing professionals.Heath unpacks how this legal precedent could open the door for physicians disciplined over COVID opinions, vaccine hesitancy, or gender medicine dissent to fight back. From moral turpitude clauses to the dangers of woke medical groupthink, this episode explores how the erosion of free speech threatens the very foundation of good medical care.Our Advice!Everything in this podcast is for educational purposes only.

How do you know when to move to the next position? Is working your way up in one organization preferable, or is there value in working for multiple organizations? Is there a tipping point when it makes more sense to stay with an organization? Are there red flags when looking at joining an organization? Are there some dos and don'ts people should be aware of when interviewing? Ms. Casey brings extensive and diverse experience in leadership, public administration, marketing, business development and retention, and strategic planning as the leader of AREA, a nonprofit organization working to create a prosperous and diverse economy for the four-county Albuquerque metro region.

As agents, building a database and adding value to our sphere has been drilled into us. We took that same mindset and strategy, and applied it to our peers and agent relationships. Just like we're told to host events and send gifts to our top clients, we do the same for the agent community.  We can attribute getting into this business and succeeding in it to the different agents and entrepreneurs who advised us. Now we get to give back to the same community and show people that there are many different ways to succeed in this business.  We also have to attribute our real estate business and successful partnership to dumb luck and many things that just fell into place and put us in the way of luck. Today, I sat down with our good friend, mortgage industry leader, business coach, and VP/Branch Manager of Nova Home Loans, Greg Gale. We talk about our business journey and all the things we've managed to build.  Quotes  We've never once fought over a dollar. We disagree, we have different opinions but we never fight over it. What's more important is where we're going and our end goal. -Kevin Kauffman   The word mastermind has been bastardized by our industry. What many call masterminds are actually classes. -Kevin Kauffman   If you do your business towards what you're built for, it's going to be way better. -Greg Gale Guest Info Greg Gale is a mortgage industry leader, business coach, and VP/Branch Manager of Nova Home Loans. Greg joined the mortgage industry in 2005. Prior to that, he was a personal trainer and martial arts instructor for 17 years. Greg notes that 20 years of martial arts, where persistence, honor, and integrity are the heart of daily practice, was a perfect lead into his role as financial advisor in the mortgage industry. The Gale Team at NOVA Home Loans is a full-service loan origination service, committed to providing innovative mortgage solutions and real estate strategies. In his role as team leader, Greg stresses the importance of integrity, a positive attitude, patience, creativity, and respect for all things.  This team defines communication as one of the single most important elements in a successful loan transaction. They are committed to returning calls promptly, providing regular status updates, and being available as needed throughout the process. Greg and his team really listen to clients' needs and then seek the best possible solutions, more often than not exceeding their client's expectations.

Today we are talking about a topic that we all need to pay attention to. Many of us don't like this part of our business. Our guest, Holly Mabery, is going to break it down to a simple plan for us to follow. What's the topic? Marketing! Holly brings this huge concept to a manageable part of your business. She is also one of the subject matter experts for NAR's Marketing Strategy and Lead Generation course. Let's join Holly for some great information on marketing and a few laughs about this potentially overwhelming topic! [3:38] The most successful agents are the ones who show up with value and substance to their clients. That's the key to building your business.  [4:00] Before selling a house, you have to figure out how to market yourself to get listings, how to market the listings, and then how to re-sell the house each time the buyer goes back to it. Clients will come to you because of how you show up and the consistency with which you show up. [9:17] Holly coaches new agents to know the purchase contract better than anybody in the market.  [12:33] Holly discusses three things to help with marketing.  [22:02] If you spend a dollar, you should back that up in free ROI tenfold. If you can't do that, don't spend that dollar. [24:08] Every time you earn a designation, like the Accredited Buyer Representative, put that certificate on LinkedIn and promote yourself. Every time you do an educational video put it on LinkedIn. [24:55] Your phone is your second biggest tool, after your resume. Start using your phone!  [26:54] Do a quarterly e-newsletter with a calendar. Spotlight a specific business. Include one real estate stat.  [29:35] Google will let you send out 500 emails daily. Use MLS drip campaigns for targeted marketing. Look for opportunities to help people. [35:01] Don't be overwhelmed by the number of platforms. Pick one to start and focus on using it for 30 days.  [36:36] If you can explain to your buyer or seller the ways they can get out of a contract, that builds trust. [37:57] Ask for reviews. Ask people who loved you to talk about it. Rate My Agent is a great tool to use.  [43:47] Your value proposition is to earn the trust of your client and take care of their needs. Identify what job your client is hiring you to do while you treat everybody equally.  [53:07] Find your specialty; residential resale or new homes? Find that nuance. Where are you already showing up online? Accentuate that. [55:35] Always be yourself! Be yourself authentically because people want to work with you. They want to refer you. If you're anything but yourself, that will take more time, energy, and effort and burn you out faster. So always be yourself and show up in that way. Tweetables: “When you start to think of marketing, it's huge, it's nuanced, and it's layered. My best advice to everybody out there right now is to take a deep breath; inhale and exhale. It's going to be fine. You can do it. Find your niche and be authentically yourself.” — Holly Mabery “Show up. One thing at a time. Learn your contract first. Period.” — Holly Mabery “You are the glue that puts the pieces together. [Your client] has all the pieces. You are the glue that pulls it together and helps them understand how it works.” — Holly Mabery Guest Links: Holly Mabery, VP of Operations at eXp Realty eXprealty.comHolly Mabery on LinkedIn Rate My Agent Related Episodes: “Lead Generation Through Relationships with Sean Carpenter” “The Champlain Towers Collapse: What REALTORS® Can Learn” “What Are You Selling?

We want to help you be able to help them!   [5:20] Mandy discusses the different generations. She brings up a conversation with a Gen Z about what he would want in a house.  [7:33] Gen Y is the next largest home-buying group after Baby Boomers. [11:06] Mandy sees that people are not going right to college from high school. They see housing as an asset. Some are buying investment properties.  [15:46] Younger Millennials are becoming first-time home buyers. They are trying to pay off their student debt, while Gen Z is avoiding going into student debt. [18:55] COVID-19 changed house-buying habits. At the beginning of COVID-19, Younger Millennials and Gen Z-ers jumped into the market without fear. [21:48] Gen Y and Gen Z want everything to be easy to understand. Home buying is potentially complicated and may take time. Mandy discusses the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) as a resource. [27:55] Younger people go to an app on their phone to get information. Real estate professionals need to get in front of technology trends. [30:11] Mandy talks about DPA (Down Payment Assistance) which can help clients buy a house. She also discusses knowing your Confirming Loan Limit. [34:44] Mandy shares that a lot of Gen Z-ers are using family gifts. There are All-In-One Loans where the home buyer can set up a GoFundMe account to be applied toward a down payment. Lenders are coming out with products to help young borrowers. [37:11] TikTok and YouTube make everything look so easy when it comes to home updates. People are opening their minds as to what is possible. [41:12] Mandy is seeing more people buying homes with spaces to work from home and have a social life at home. There is a lot of openness in floor plans. [44:19] Millennials care more about walkable city living rather than their apartment. Gen Z-ers are buying out of the city in more affordable growing areas.  [47:35] Mandy comments on what she observed recently in Wichita, Kansas, with a community full of Gen Z-ers, built around diversity.  [51:56] Mandy hopes that all generations will allow Gen Z and the younger Millennials to get in the conversation of infrastructures, jobs and how to make a difference.

Let's get into it: ARIZONA MIRROR:Conspiracy theories still dominate Arizona Senate Elections CommitteeBY: JOE DUHOWNIK/COURTHOUSE NEWS SERVICE - MARCH 21, 2023 4:18 PMNearly a month after Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes released documents further disproving claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, Senate Republicans continue to make the same claims in the election committee.The most recent tantrum came during testimony regarding HB2415, which would remove people from the active early voting mailing list if they go a full year without participating in an election. Republicans said it's a way to declutter the list.Opponents argued that the bill would only disenfranchise voters, as many only vote in presidential elections every four years, and could be removed from the mail ballot list without knowing it.“Conspiracy theories” also came up again later in the committee meeting, this time in regard to HB2591, which would prohibit voters from using ballot drop boxes outside the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and would require that drop boxes be inside or attached to county buildings and be under 24/7 video surveillance. Bill sponsor Gail Griffin, a Republican state representative from Tucson, said she's seen video of “people with boxes coming and dumping ballots,” though she maintained that “2,000 Mules” - a propaganda film about imagined “ballot mules” stuffing ballots in the 2020 election. The fantasy about ballot mules is a cornerstone of the bigger fantasy that Joe Biden stole the 2020 election, even though he won by 3 full percentage points and 7 million votes.Democrats said restricting the times when voters can drop off ballots will make it harder for some to cast their vote. Republicans' only response was that those folks would need to use one of the less accessible options that remain if they want to vote. Cool. The Republican-dominated committee supported five more measures they say will increase election integrity. Republican state Representative Austin Smith sponsored HB2552 to preemptively prohibit ranked choice voting in Arizona. A companion bill already passed through the Senate in February.Jodi Liggett, a lobbyist representing the Arizona League of Women Voters, said more than 60% of Arizona voters support ranked choice voting, which is used in Maine, Alaska, and multiple cities like New York and San Francisco.“There should be no reason to preemptively silence the voice of your own constituents,” she told the committee.The committee ended with discussion on HB2613, which would require that all vote recording tabulation machines be 100% sourced from and built in the U.S. in response to fantasies about foreign tampering of voting machines in the 2020 election - where Donald Trump lost to Joe Biden by 3 full percentage points and 7 million legally cast votes. Jen Marson, representing the Arizona Association of Counties, said the machines used now are already manufactured in the U.S., but some parts, like plastics and electronics, are sourced from other countries.The bill's GOP sponsor said he doesn't know that U.S. companies have the capacity to completely home-grow the voting machines, but “if there is a need, I do believe that the American engineering mindset would step up.”For my part - I'll just say his point makes absolutely no sense.This article was first published by Courthouse News Service and is republished under their terms of use.UCLA HEALTHSuicide rate highest among teens and young adultsMarch 15, 2022By Sandy CohenNote: This article was updated Feb. 23, 2023.Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among people age 15 to 24 in the U.S. Nearly 20% of high school students report serious thoughts of suicide and 9% have made an attempt to take their lives, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.Recent weeks have brought heartbreaking examples of this trend, including the March 1 death of Stanford soccer captain Katie Meyer, 22; and Ohio State football player Harry Miller's revelations that he attempted suicide, shared his struggles with his coach and got help. Miller announced his medical retirement from football on March 10 in a Twitter post that's been shared more than 10,000 times.“This is not an issue reserved for the far and away,” wrote Miller. “It is in our homes. It is in our conversations. It is in the people we love.”Carl Fleisher, MD, who specializes in adolescent and child psychiatry at Boston Child Study Center in Los Angeles said “Teenagers and young adults have had rising rates of suicide compared to 10 or 15 years ago, Young people are particularly vulnerable to suicide. The things that make them vulnerable are where they stand socially and where they stand developmentally.”Developmentally, their judgment and decision-making abilities are still coming online. The prefrontal cortex — the brain's executive control center — doesn't fully develop until one's mid-20s.That makes young people more impulsive "They're not going to weigh risks and consequences in quite the same way older folks will.”Socially, teens and young adults don't have the same connections older adults do. Someone who is married, has a long-term partner or has children or grandchildren is in a different place socially than someone who is just coming into their own, living with roommates or alone.The isolation of the pandemic exacerbated social disconnection even more.So it's good to hear that a bill that would make it easier… Colorado Newsline article followsCOLORADO NEWSLINE:BY: SARA WILSON - MARCH 20, 2023 2:54 PM…  for schools to provide mental health assessments, and connect students to therapy, passed the Colorado House of Representatives on Monday.House Bill 23-1003 would allow public schools to participate in a voluntary mental health screening program for sixth through twelfth graders and refer them to treatment if needed, primarily through the state's existing free youth therapy program, called I Matter.Bill sponsor Rep. Dafna Michaelson Jenet, a Commerce City Democrat, said she was motivated to run the legislation after alarming statistics from the Colorado Healthy Kids Survey that showed nearly 40% of Colorado youth reported feeling depressed for at least two straight weeks.“That's a pretty significant indicator for severe depression,” she said. “I wanted to come up with a way for kids to learn about therapy and access to therapy through screenings in school. We have the I Matter program, so we have somewhere kids can go for help.”In a post-pandemic environment in which Children's Hospital Colorado declared a state of emergency for youth mental health, Michaelson Jenet said screening can be a powerful preventative tool for students under profound pressures.Parents could opt their child out of the assessment, but students 12 years and older would be able to participate even if their parents don't want them to.Under the program, if the provider finds that a student could benefit from treatment, their parents will be notified and given information about the I Matter program, which has provided free therapy services to over 5,500 Colorado youth since it launched in October 2021.If the assessment provider finds that a student is in crisis — at-risk for attempting suicide, physical self-harm or harming others, for example — the school would follow its crisis response protocol.The Colorado Health Institute endorsed the concept of universal mental health screenings in schools in a report published earlier this month.The report authors wrote “Schools are uniquely positioned to help address this (mental health) crisis by meeting youth where they already spend most of their day. Screening all students for social and emotional needs strengthens prevention, detection, and early intervention.”Organizations including the National Association of School Psychologists, the National Research Council, the Institute of Medicine, the Healthy Schools Campaign, Mental Health America also recommend screening all students.Republicans in the House opposed the bill on the grounds that a program where students could participate even if parents opt out violates parental rights. Most of the floor debate centered on whether 12 years old is too young for students to decide whether to undergo a mental health assessment. Existing Colorado law allows minors 12 years and older to seek therapy without their parent or guardian's consent.Democrats hold healthy majorities in both the House and Senate this session.The legislation now heads to the Senate, where it is sponsored by Democratic Sen. Lisa Cutter of Littleton.COLORADO SUN: and on the other side of the aisle: The new chair of Colorado's GOP says people concerned he will end all hope of Republicans winning here, should “relax”.Jesse Paul and Sandra Fish3:20 AM MDT on Mar 16, 2023Dave Williams' election as Colorado GOP chair has prompted prominent Republicans to announce they are leaving the party and heightened the possibility that unaffiliated Coloradans, who make up nearly half of the state's electorate, could be shut out of the GOP's future primaries.Mandy Connell, a conservative talk radio host, tweeted her exit from the GOP on Saturday just after the election denier and former state representative was chosen to lead Republicans for the next two years.Connell told The Colorado Sun, “I hoped the Republican Party could move beyond Donald Trump and looking backwards at the 2020 election. With the election of Dave Williams for the Colorado chairmanship, it is apparent that they are not ready to do that. And I am.”The GOP has steadily lost registered voters in Colorado over the past two decades, a slide that accelerated after Trump took office. The share of registered Republicans declined to 24.2% in January from 31.1% in January 2016. There are no statewide elected Republicans, and the party is in a big minority in the legislature and in the congressional delegation following a disappointing 2022 election cycle that only saw the GOP lose more political power.Some in the party fear Williams, who beat six other chair candidates, may lead to further decline. Dick Wadhams, who was Colorado GOP chair from 2007 to 2011 and now works as a Republican political consultant, worries the “party will have no credibility” if Williams pursues the agenda he campaigned for chair on.Williams says his detractors should “relax.”“I can understand why some people are concerned, especially because of the fearmongering of Dick Wadhams,” Williams said. “But the truth is I'm only here to go attack Democrats, and if they can't get behind that then I'm not sure what else is going to unite us.”Williams, who vowed to be a “wartime” leader of the Colorado GOP, was a divisive figure during his time in the state legislature - and last year he lost a primary challenge to Republican Congressman Doug Lamborn by just shy of 20 points.Williams was elected chair by the Colorado GOP's state central committee, which is made up of about 400 people. During the event Saturday in Loveland, Williams focused his message on defending Donald Trump and preventing unaffiliated voters from participating in GOP primary elections, something Colorado voters approved in 2016. Ari Armstrong, a columnist for Complete Colorado, tweeted that he is leaving the party. “Colorado GOP leaders have made abundantly clear that theirs is the party of conspiracy mongering and petty bigotry,” he said. “The state party is not serious about winning elections or helping to guide policy. Enough.”Denver Post columnist Krista Kafer also hinted on Twitter at a switch: “I think I'll be doing the same (as) Mandy Connell. When I rejoined the party I had hoped it was changing. It is in other states but not here. The lunatic fringe is ascendant.” and speaking of the lunatic fringeCOLORADO NEWSLINE:Feds to send nearly $200 million to help communities prepare for wildfiresBY: JACOB FISCHLER - MARCH 21, 2023 4:30 AM     Vice President Kamala Harris and other administration officials said Monday that the Biden administration will send $197 million from the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law to help communities prepare for wildfires this summer.The funding represents the first round of a new $1 billion Community Wildfire Defense Grant program authorized under the $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill that President Joe Biden signed in 2021. Grants in the first year of the program would be available for more than 100 projects in 22 states, according to a White House fact sheet.The funding is meant to help communities prepare for wildfires, which Harris said was preferable to responding to fires already wreaking havoc.“The best time to fight a fire is before it starts,” she said on a Monday call with reporters.The funding announced Monday can be used to write or update wildfire preparedness plans or on other mitigation efforts, such as clearing highly flammable brush.Among the largest grants was a $9.9 million disbursement to the Grant Soil and Water Conservation District in eastern Oregon to clear hazardous fuels from evacuation routes on county roads.The New Mexico nonprofit Cimarron Watershed Alliance also received $8 million to create defensible space around homes and fuel breaks designed to stop a fire's spread.Archuleta County, Colorado, will receive $1.1 million to remove hazardous fuels over 600 wooded acres.Gila County AZ will receive $341,000 for evacuation planning and clearing flammable brush around buildings Communities in Alaska, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, South Dakota, Wiscons, North Carolina and Georgia will also receive grants.A full list of grants announced Monday is available here.The Vice President said the remaining roughly $800 million will be released over the next four years.Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said “This is an initial round of funding - a critical down payment.”The Forest Service, which is part of the Agriculture Department, judged grant applications on three criteria: communities that have experienced a severe disaster, are at high risk of a wildfire and are low income. All grants announced Monday met at least two of the three criteria and most met all three, he said.Wildfires have become more destructive in recent decades for a variety of reasons, including hotter and drier weather because of climate change, as well as increased development in areas at high risk of fire.CONCERT PICK OF THE WEEK: You might know him from the movie “Big” - it's Billy Idol!

It's a new year, and with it comes new opportunities, new challenges and new state leadership.  The results of the 2022 Arizona general election propelled a new Governor and over 40 new legislators (which is nearly half of the entire legislature) into state office.  This political shakeup can also be felt on the policy front as new state agency directors and advisors are settling into their positions. Today, we welcome two outstanding individuals to give us perspective on these changes in state leadership; what it means for policymaking over the foreseeable future, and what stakeholders can do to harness these changes for a better Arizona. Here's our conversation with the former Chief Public Policy Officer of Valley of the Sun United Way, Penny Allee Taylor, and former State Representative and former Executive Director of the Arizona Association of Health Plans, Deb Gullett, discussing a new year and new state leadership.

Parenting Mindset with Cindy Brown It's utterly crushing when we hear our children speak negatively of themselves or fixate on something that they think they didn't do well enough.  We swoop in as their biggest cheerleaders with loads of positivity and evidence that they are worthy and amazing.  We react to these moments whenever they pop up and put the sunniest bandaid on that moment hoping it's enough.  As a veteran educator and family mindset coach, Cindy Brown shares that these moments stem from the child's internal thoughts and beliefs that come from their experiences and the messaging they receive.  Even if they are surrounded by cheerleaders and loving adults, their internal thoughts can often be fixed and negative. Cindy explains that unless we work on developing a mindset as a family, the supportive parenting strategies may not be as effective. Family mindset is a common language, shared values, and a practice that is a foundation for encouraging our children's confidence and grit.  From the adults all the way to the littlest of children, everyone has the tools, understanding, and safe space to practice exploring, experimenting, and sharing experiences and emotions rather than expectations.   Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Hear how Cindy pivoted from being in education for 30 years to creating her business at the beginning of the pandemic. As a result of everything going online, she was able to extend her reach well beyond her network and community.   Discover strategies to relieve the stressful tension around expectations and assumptions in us and our children as we move back into the classrooms. Be inspired by Cindy's mindset and practices around being in the early stages of development as an entrepreneur.

In the last seven years as an educator, Cindy's observations of how children's environment and experience deeply affected their internal thoughts led her to mindset development work.   Cindy began planning her move into entrepreneurship two years before her planned retirement.  She had little to no experience in business so she focussed on finding women who had success in this area.  She joined The Junior League of Phoenix and the Powerhouse Women Community.  These spaces gave her opportunities to grow in diff areas--committee work, social media, fundraising, promotion, marketing, networking, etc Pivoting at the Beginning of a Pandemic As Cindy's pivot coincided with the pandemic and everything going virtual, she began to build her cache of video content. As a result, she was able to share her message and program well beyond her built-in community in education in her local area.   She spoke at conferences with participants from all around the world.  Her videos are also viewed around the world.  Common Block for Parents with Tweens and Teens Awareness--Internal thoughts start at a very early age and mindset development needs support much sooner than we notice. Convenience--It seems easier to make choices for our children regarding schedules, activities, and their path.  But this doesn't create space for a child to develop a sense of responsibility, agency, or worth.    Communication--Parents often make statements instead of asking supportive and open questions.  Statements and expectations mold the internal thoughts and messages while open questions allow for exploration, curiosity, and connection.    Tips for Parenting that Empowers Know your internal messaging and history of messaging as a child.   Become an emotional scientist by asking questions that inspire curiosity around an upcoming experience (new experiences in school as we transition to in-person this fall).  “I wonder who you'll get for math?”,  “I wonder if there will be new clubs to join?”, “I wonder what xyz will be like?”, rather than “The first day will be so great!”, “You're going to do so great!”   Talk in terms of goals we have as a family for school, friendship, community, etc.   Have a family charter of three main values and talk about what this looks like and means for each member.  It becomes a reference point or guidepost to support conversations and experiences we have.   Cindy's Entrepreneurial Mindset When entrepreneurship is a roller coaster, Cindy remembers “Even though I'm ready I have to wait until they're ready.” “What I'm doing is going to make a difference.  I know this because I did the work and I live it now. I felt the change and more balanced and less stressed--I taught it for years but it wasn't until I walked through it and lived it...when it became more than words”   “They might be small steps in the big picture but I am going forward because I keep showing up”   Cindy's Non Negotiables A firm but flexible routine and schedule.  There are things I want to get done and I make time for movement, quiet time like guided meditation, or watching the dog explore, and journaling. Recording everything on all the calendars and keeping all engagements on Calendly.   Cooking and eating well and not on the run. For the Parent that is Struggling with Their Child(ren) Start with self by observing and remembering your own internal messaging.   Reflect on how you communicate.  Are you trying to be a cheerleader while coming off as a judge? Reflect on whether you are making more statements or asking more questions?   About Cindy Cindy Brown is a Family Mindset Strategist who works with parents to identify their unique vision and goals for their family.  She is an award-winning veteran educator with 30 years of experience and 24 years of experience raising her own children.  Her experience and coaching expertise guide parents, school districts, and other educators in creating empowerment and fulfillment in children's lives.   Cindy is actively involved in serving her community, supporting many organizations  that support women, as well as, disadvantaged children.  She is an active member of Junior League of Phoenix in a leadership role, serves on the Board of Directors for the Arizona Association for Gifted and Talented, and Chairs the statewide Parent's Institute Conference.   Cindy Brown offers a highly personalized 10 week one-on-one coaching package for families that can include co parents, grandparents, etc.  She also does group sessions and public speaking for parent groups, school districts, PTOs, and nonprofits.   Enjoy the Podcast?
