On today's Daily Windup, I break down the reality behind recent reports on the federal contracting market. While confidence is up thanks to the $2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the truth is small businesses are struggling more than ever. We're seeing 30% fewer small business entrants into the federal marketplace and 40% fewer firms supporting the government compared to just a decade ago. Agencies like NAVFAC are shifting nearly everything into long-term MAC and IDIQ contracts—deals most micro-businesses with under 10 employees can't even qualify for. The result? A widening gap between small firms and the billion-dollar giants. But here's the opportunity: the same reports highlight strategic teaming initiatives, business development, and cybersecurity as top priorities for success. I've seen firsthand how critical these are—I've even been hacked three times this year, and the government is about to roll out stricter CMMC cybersecurity requirements across solicitations. If you don't master BD, teaming, and compliance, you'll be left behind. This episode is my straight talk about the risks, the trends, and the skills every small business needs to survive in government contracting today.

On today's episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I'm chatting with Val, a CPSM graduate who completed the program in January 2023.Val started her sleep consulting journey as a side hustle, supporting families here and there while raising her three young children and working full time. Over time, her passion for this work grew, her confidence increased, and she took the leap into running her business full time.In our conversation, Val shares:• What it looked like to get started and land her first clients• How she knew it was time to transition from side hustle to full-time business• The challenges and rewards of balancing work while raising three little ones• The strategies that have helped her grow her business and continue to support more familiesVal's story is such a great reminder that it is possible to build a business that not only provides financial stability, but also flexibility to be present at home.This episode is a must-listen if you're ready to see what's possible when you go all in on sleep consulting.Links: Website: https://www.thefamilysleepcoach.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_familysleepcoach/If you'd like to learn more about becoming a Sleep Consultant, please join our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/becomeasleepconsultantCPSM website: https://thecpsm.com/Book a free discovery call to learn how you can become a Certified Sleep Consultant here: https://jaynehavens.as.me/CPSM-Inquiry

In this episode, Ajay Mody and Asher Perzigian sit down with Sangeeta Bardhan Cook, Chief Innovation Officer at Fox Chase Cancer Center and SVP of Commercialization Strategy and Business Development at Temple Health. Together, they explore how to close the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world patient care, using scientific expertise and strategic leadership to drive innovation in oncology and diagnostics. The conversation dives into how hospitals and research institutions are collaborating with startups and pharmaceutical companies to accelerate new ideas. Topics include scalable therapies, precision diagnostics, and the thoughtful application of AI—from early-stage research to clinical use cases like MRI interpretation and protein folding. Listeners will also gain insight into the collaborative spirit of academic medicine, the complexities of commercialization, and the importance of nurturing early-stage innovation despite market pressures. This episode offers a compelling look at how curiosity, collaboration, and strategic thinking are reshaping the future of healthcare.

Emily Shields dropped her kids off at school this morning—an eighth grader, a fifth grader, and a toddler—before stepping into her role as Chief Strategy Officer at OSF HealthCare. It's a balance she's perfected through years of strategic career moves and honest self-assessment about what matters most each week. Starting as a physician recruiter at OSF, Emily built relationships across the entire health system that would prove invaluable. "I worked with leadership, hospital presidents, regional leadership in all of those markets. It uniquely positioned me to build trust and confidence across the system," she reflects. The pivotal moment came when an executive sent her a simple note: "This person is retiring. You should think about this." That nudge toward the Vice President of Business Development role changed everything. "It was like something exploded in my office," Emily recalls. She seized the opportunity, moving from recruitment into mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures—territory she'd never navigated before. "I'm definitely not afraid to say when I don't know something and to pull in a team to surround me to help," Emily shares. Under the mentorship of Michelle Conger (OSF's incoming CEO), she learned to distinguish between skills that can be taught and the innate hunger to learn that makes leaders successful. In this candid episode of Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, Emily also reveals: Why "mission and culture always win"—even when walking away from lucrative deals How OSF's innovation committee fast-tracks partnerships and pilots The power of being "at the right place at the right time" AND seizing the opportunity Why asking for help isn't weakness—it's strategic leadership How to think in "week chunks" when balancing career and family The critical importance of always signaling you're ready for more "You have to demonstrate you can do more than what you're currently doing. That does mean taking on projects outside your official job duties—that's how other people know you're capable," Emily advises. Now overseeing marketing, planning, and business development as Chief Strategy Officer, Emily is bringing previously siloed functions together to drive strategic outcomes. Her latest achievement? A 100-bed behavioral health joint venture opening next spring, addressing a critical gap where 2,000 patients were leaving the service area for psychiatric care. For women navigating their own career trajectories while raising families, Emily's message is clear: "Give yourself grace. Work hard and seize those opportunities when they're in front of you. Recognize that the path you set out for yourself in your head is not the one you're gonna take." From recruiter to C-suite in one organization, while raising three children and driving multi-million dollar deals—Emily Shields proves that with the right support, strategic thinking, and self-compassion, you can build an exceptional career without trying to be perfect at everything, every week. "There are weeks where work wins, and there are weeks where being a mom wins. And that's okay."

Generally, by the time someone gets invited on a show like this they’ve figured out how to tell the story of their business in a way that makes their journey seem like a steady climb from humble beginnings to current success. In telling these histories, entrepreneurs will talk generally about setbacks, but they don’t typically elaborate on specific obstacles. Like, for example, this scenario: Suppose you’re a startup entrepreneur with a new product, and you get the call you’ve been waiting for, from Walmart, with a giant purchase order. Now, instead of spending $10,000 on raw materials, you’ll need $200,000. Your shipping costs are going to go from $5,000 to $50,000. And you’ll need 10 more people to pull this off, which is $1m in new salaries. You can borrow this money, no problem, right? You’re going to be able to pay it back - you have the Walmart purchase order to prove it. But you discover that no traditional lender, like a bank, will lend you money unless you’re (a) profitable and (b) have 2 years of receipts. You don’t qualify in either of those categories. So, what do you do? Well, one option is you go to a national company that’s headquartered here in New Orleans, called Republic Business Credit. Republic Business Credit specializes in what’s called Accounts Receivable Finance. Basically, they will loan a company money based on a purchase order – up to $20 million. Or, in a practice called "factoring," they’ll buy the purchase order off a company – minus a fee – so the company gets cash immediately and when the purchaser pays the invoice, the payment goes to Republic Business Credit. Leigh Guglielmo has been helping companies finance their business at Republic Business Credit since 2011. Today she’s the company’s Senior Vice President of Business Development. Another thing you hear a lot about in a typical startup success story is, the Power Point pitch. Andres Barcelo and his wife, Ashley Webb, moved to New Orleans in 2017 to be closer to Ashley’s family. Three years later, when they had their lives derailed by the pandemic, Andres and Ashley started gr owing vegetables in their 9th Ward neighborhood. When they discovered that okra, beans, cucumbers and peppers grew well, they grew more of them. Till they had so much that someone suggested they could start a farmers market. So, they did. Then they began adding products from other local folks - like bread, hand pies, candles, soap, pickles and jam. And before you know it – without a single Power Point presentation – Andres and Ashley had built a business. Today you can find Barcelo Gardens Fresh Market most days of the week in varying locations, including their flagship location on Piety Street in the Upper 9th Ward, and at pop-ups and markets in The Irish Channel, The Marigny, Harahan, and Napoleonville. There’s a saying people use in general conversation to describe how today is pretty much like every other day: “Business as usual.” Interestingly, you don’t hear a lot of people in business saying that. Mostly because business is typically anything but business as usual. There’s almost always an obstacle, a wrinkle, a problem to solve. Leigh is in the business of solving the biggest problem of them all for most businesses – operating capital. And Andres' business is dependent on the most fickle of all fundamentals – the weather. One thing they have in common is, without a lot of fanfare, they’re both doing something vital for our local business community, and community in general.

In the first segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee answer a listener's question about problems with his existing penile prosthesis. This listener writes, "I had a penile implant put in several years ago and it actually made my penis smaller. When I pump it up, one of the implants in my shaft I'm concerned is going to break the skin or cause pressure problems, which are huge for me because I'm a paraplegic...Can another implant be placed and increase the size of my penis, and how can I fix the problem of too much pressure?" The penile prosthesis is an inflatable silicon device implanted internally and completely concealed. The device is inflated using a pump implanted into the scrotum which, when activated, transfers fluid from a reservoir in your abdomen into the silicon cylinders in your penis to add both length and girth to your erection.  The inflated implant produces a rigid and satisfying erection, yet appears natural and soft when not in use. Dr. Mistry explains that the penile prosthesis is an excellent option for addressing a variety of patient concerns from end stage ED to nerve damage from diabetes or neurologic issues. Importantly, he points out that long-term ED actually diminishes the length of the penis over time, so the penile implant can actually help those struggling to achieve erections--no matter the reason--to maintain their size. At Urology Specialists of Austin, our surgical team can expertly place this device and help address any issues that may have arisen with older implants. In answer to this listener, Dr. Mistry says that yes, pressure ulcers can become a concern if the implant shifts and that yes, this is fixable! If you or someone you love would like to learn more about the inflatable penile prosthesis or have their prosthesis checked, please give us a call today!  In the second segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee discuss the benefits of a holistic approach to urology. When patients have control over their overall health and medical treatments, they have much better health outcomes. Dr. Mistry also explains the latest in robot-guided laparoscopic surgery when relating the case of a new patient with an 8-inch kidney tumor. After another urologist told her that she would need a huge incision and lose her whole kidney, she sought a second opinion from Dr. Mistry. Fortunately, he was able to offer her the very best, state-of-the-art treatment options. Not only was she able to have the tumor removed laparoscopically while keeping part of her kidney, she had very little down-time during recovery. At Urology Specialists of Austin, we are huge fans of the second opinion. If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with any kind of urologic tumor, or is interested in learning more about holistic urology, please give us a call today!Voted top Men's Health Podcast, Sex Therapy Podcast, and Prostate Cancer Podcast by FeedSpot.Dr. Mistry is a board-certified urologist and has been treating patients in the Austin and Greater Williamson County area since he started his private practice, NAU Urology Specialists (now Urology Specialists of Austin), in 2007.  Donna Lee works with Dr. Mistry as Urology Specialists of Austin's Director of Business Development and she's also a professional standup comedian touring the country. We enjoy hearing from you!

#33: Architects often ask the wrong question:“How do I attract clients who actually value design?”In this episode, I sit down with Evelyn Lee, Founder of Practice of Architecture, to unpack why that question is flawed and what architects should be asking instead.

When I first enrolled in a sleep consultant certification program, it gave me the information I needed, but it lacked something important: connection.No personal welcome. No opportunity to build a relationship with the course creator. And I've found the same to be true in other programs I've joined over the years.Center for Pediatric Sleep Management is different. From the very beginning, my goal has been for every student to feel seen, heard, and supported. CPSM was built on connection, and that same value guides the way I run my business every day.In this episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I'm sharing why connection matters so much, not just in online education, but in any business.
