Most machine shop owners spend twenty years learning the lesson Stone figured out before he turned 21: get great at one thing, and say no to almost everything else. He bought his first CNC at 15 to make knife handles, started taking billable work at 19, and now runs a precision shop in North Phoenix that goes after the tight-tolerance medical work a lot of shops won't touch. This one is part of our GenCNC series, and our co-host Nush, who's part of this generation herself, jumps in with the questions the rest of us wish we'd asked at that age. We get into how he actually built it: growing on cash flow and machine loans instead of outside investors, learning to program after hours with a tool and die mentor, and figuring out how to price work when you're brand new and have no idea what the market will bear. Stone's edge isn't a secret process. It's consistency, a refusal to send anything out of spec, and a willingness to take on parts he doesn't yet know how to make. He's also refreshingly honest about the parts nobody posts. The crashes, the jobs that go sideways, the days the whole thing feels like it's crumbling. His answer is mentors, a tight network of shop owners who actually pick up the phone, and the discipline to keep the lows from getting too low. Whether you're thinking about starting a shop or you've run one for thirty years, there's something here. Know where to spend money and where not to. Build a small team of people you can pay well. And find the niche where being excellent actually pays. That's making chips.

You cannot make an extra $50,000 by guessing your way through the rest of the year. In part three of Dr. Lauryn's Summer From the Vault series, we move from mindset and sales into the numbers that reveal what is actually happening inside your practice—and where your next opportunity for growth may be hiding.Dr. Lauryn explains how to separate emotion and ego from your business metrics, determine which numbers deserve your attention, and use data to diagnose problems with marketing, conversion, retention, training, and practice systems. You'll learn why weekly visits and revenue never tell the whole story, how small improvements can produce meaningful growth, and why your numbers are information—not a judgment of your success.Key TakeawaysRevenue and weekly visits do not tell the entire story. Profitability, patient value, lead quality, and the context behind each metric provide a much clearer picture of your practice's financial health.Tracking the right KPIs reveals where revenue is leaking. New patient calls, booking rates, show rates, conversions, retention, breakups, and referrals can show you exactly where to focus your attention.Established practices usually grow through small improvements. Better training, stronger table talk, more qualified marketing leads, and 1–5% improvements across key systems can create significant financial results.Your numbers are tools, not a measure of your worth. They help you make non-emotional decisions, identify operational bottlenecks, and determine whether your practice needs better systems, renewed leadership, or intentional rest.Resources:Rich Doc Summer Series: A FREE summer training lineup for docs ready to use AI, systems, and strategy to create more freedom from the clinic.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an t-ochtú lá déag de mhí Iúil. Is mise Eoin Ó Seachnasaigh.I ndiaidh cúpla seachtain dhrámatúil i bpolaitíocht na Breataine, tá an Feisire Parlaiminte nuathofa do Makerfield, Andy Burnham,ar tí seilbh a ghlacadh ar Uimhir 10 Sráid Downing. Cé go bhfuair Burnham, a bheidh ina sheachtú Príomh-Aire ar an mBreatain le deich mbliana anuas, ainmniúcháin ó 322 de na 403 Feisire de chuid Pháirtí an Lucht Oibre, tá dúshláin go leor roimhe anois,agus gan ach trí bliana fágtha den téarma rialtais. Beidh na fadhbanna tromchúiseacha ba chúis le titim a réamhtheachtaí, Sir Keir Starmer, faoi chúram iar-Mhéara Mhanchain go luath, lena n-áirítear míshástacht an phobail leis an rialtas, na géarchéimeanna leanúnacha sa Mheánoirthear agus an brú atá ag teacht ó ghrúpaí éagsúla chun caiteachas cosanta a mhéadú gan cáin ioncaim a ardú. Ní hé Burnham an t-aon pholaiteoir mór le rá sa Bhreatain atá i gcruachás faoi láthair, áfach. Tá ceisteanna crua le freagairt ag a phríomh-iomaitheoir, Nigel Farage, ceannaire an pháirtí Reform UK, tar éis teacht chun solais gur ghlac Farage le cúig mhilliún punt ó bhilliúnaí criptea-airgeadra. I measc ábhair imní gur sciúradh airgid a bhí ar siúl, tá an síntiús á fhiosrú anois ag an National Crime Agency, agus idir an dá linn, tá Farage tar éis éirí as a phost mar Fheisire Parlaiminte do Clacton, agus é ag súil go léireodh fothoghchán úr tacaíocht an phobail dó féin agus don mhaíomh gur íospartach den chóras oifigiúil é. Mar fhreagra, tá sé fógartha ag Páirtí an LuchtOibre, na Coimeádaigh, na Glasaigh agus na Daonlathaithe Liobrálacha nach mbeidh siad ag seasamh san fhothoghchán, agus is cosúil gurb é cuairteoir ón spás amuigh, darb ainm Count Binface, a bheidh ina phríomh-iomaitheoir do Farage.Dea-scéala do lucht leanúna an cheoil Éireannaigh a nascann an traidisiún leis an turgnamh, tá Trá Pháidín ar ais le halbam nua, go gairid i ndiaidh An A24 ón mbliain seo caite. Tarraingíonn an t-albam nua, Cloch ‘s Claí, inspioráid ón úrscéal aoiriúil cáiliúil le Myles na gCopaleen, An Béal Bocht, agus pléann sé an gaol idir an Ghaeltacht agus an chuid eile d'Éirinn chomhaimseartha, agus béim ar leith á cur ar chúrsaí tithíochta, ar fhadhbannaeacnamaíocha agus ar cheisteanna féiniúlachta. Is é seo an chéad eisiúint ag an ngrúpa ar an lipéad World of Echo, atá lonnaithe i Londain, agus a dhíolann ceirníní ó cheoltóirí ceannródaíocha ar fud an domhain, agus mar thoradh air sin,tabharfaidh sé deis do lucht éisteachta idirnáisiúnta aithne a chur ar an dream as Conamara. Tar éis 102 cluiche agus breis agus mí a bhí lán de scileanna iontacha, botúin thubaisteacha, taispeántais laochúla, moilleanna de bharr VAR agus conspóid pholaitiúil, tá Corn an Domhain ag druidim chun deiridh. Cé gurb iad an Spáinn rogha na coitiantachta, tar éis dóibh an Fhrainc a shárú in Dallas oíche Dé Máirt, le cúil ó Mikel Oyarzabal agus Pedro Porro, beidh neart le déanamh acu chun an lámh in uachtar a fháil ar an Airgintín, atá ag filleadh ar an gcluiche ceannais mar seaimpíní gan chloí tar éis bua cáiliúil i gcoinne Shasana ag Staid Atlanta oíche Dé Céadaoin. Níos cóngaraí don bhaile, ar lá spóirt lán le haicsean, fillfidh Gaillimh ar Chluiche Ceannais Iomána na hÉireann den chéad uair ó 2018, agus iad ag tabhairt aghaidh ar fhoireann Luimnigh atá sa tóir ar a séú theideal in ocht mbliana. Beidh Gaillimh ag súil go mbeidh an tosaí Rory Burke i mbarr a réime arís tar éis an gortú a d'fhulaing sé i gcluiche ceannais Laighean, agus tá faoiseamh ar fhir na Mumhan go bhfuil a gcaptaen, Cian Lynch, réidh le himirt tar éis dó a bheith as láthair ón mbua ar Chontae an Chláir. *GLUAISréamhtheachtaí - predecessorspás amuigh - outer spaceturgnamh - experimentaoiriúil - satiricalrogha na coitiantachta - the favourite to win i mbarr a réime - at the top of his game

“A Mulher Desarvorada” é um monólogo inspirado no livro “A Mulher Desiludida”, de Simone de Beauvoir, e está em cena no festival Off Avignon até 25 de Julho, com o título francês “La Femme Déracinée”. Em palco, Tati Pasquali, a actriz do espectáculo que também assina a dramaturgia, fala sobre a violência do parto e do pós-parto, a sobrecarga mental e física da maternidade, a persistente desigualdade homem-mulher, a devoção feminina transgeracional à família e o abandono, entre muitas outras coisas. “Quando é a mulher que cuida de tudo, quem é que cuida dela quando tudo desaba?”, questiona Tati Pasquali na entrevista que deu à RFI, em Avignon. “A Mulher Desarvorada” é a história de uma mulher que abdicou de si própria para se dedicar à família. Conta a violência do parto, a depressão pós-parto, a transformação do corpo feminino, o desdém do olhar masculino sobre esse mesmo corpo, a sobrecarga da maternidade, a solidão, a traição e o abandono. “É a história dessa mulher que abriu mão da sua profissão e tornou a família e o lar na sua profissão, no seu único lugar no mundo, e o que acontece com ela quando isso desaparece. É muito focado na importância da independência financeira feminina como forma de liberdade e é um dos temas que a Simone [de Beauvoir] batia muito o martelo em cima. É sobre esse papel que a mulher ainda ocupa em 2026, de ter a maior parte dos cuidados maternos, os cuidados com a família, cuidado com a casa. Quando é a mulher que cuida de tudo, quem é que cuida dela quando tudo desaba, quando tudo se vai embora? Essa mulher vê-se obrigada a cuidar de si sozinha. Tem uma frase no espectáculo que é: ‘Quando se viveu durante tanto tempo em função dos outros, é um pouco difícil se converter a viver para si'. Eu acho que fala sobre muitas coisas, sobre maternidade, sobre sobrecarga materna, sobrecarga mental, sobrecarga física, mas também fala um pouco dessa falta de olhar para si mesma que as mulheres têm quando ocupam demais esse lugar do cuidado com o outro e com a casa”, conta Tati Pasquali. A ideia de escrever este texto nasceu durante a pandemia de Covid-19, com o confinamento, quando ficou “durante dois anos presa em casa com um bebé”, cruzando depressão pós-parto com a depressão da pandemia. Perante a sensação de se sentir intelectualmente e criativamente “desperdiçada”, a actriz brasileira foi à procura de um tema para criar algo e reencontrou-se com “A Mulher Desiludida”, da filósofa francesa Simone de Beauvoir, reconhecendo-se “num lugar de cuidado com a família, com a casa”, de questionamento por ter deixado de lado a sua independência financeira e a sua profissão. “Peguei só em inspirações do livro e transformei em uma coisa muito mais pessoal. Eu acho que o espectáculo ganhou muito e desarvorada é uma palavra que ela fala no texto. Ela fala: ‘Eu estava tão desarvorada que eu precisava fazer alguma coisa.' Desarvorada é essa mulher que perde as folhas, é uma árvore que perde a vida. E também tem a ligação com a árvore genealógica que eu faço com a minha mãe, com a minha avó, com a avó paterna, avó materna, tem essa coisa de árvore das mulheres, dessa árvore genealógica e desse lugar de quando você perde as folhas, quando você perde a força, o que te alimenta?”, descreve a actriz e autora de “A Mulher Desarvorada”. “A Mulher Desarvorada” tem encenação de Claúdia Semedo e está no no Festival Off, em Avignon, no Théâtre de La Porte Saint Michel, até 25 de Julho. Participar no festival “é um super risco financeiro”, admite Tati Pasquali que considera que este “não é um festival democrático” porque “não é qualquer companhia, não é qualquer artista que consegue vir” devido aos elevados custos que implica, desde logo “a hospedagem que fica caríssima e o aluguer do teatro também caríssimo”. A peça só consegue estar em Avignon graças a apoios e a um crowdfunding e, ainda assim, “é preciso captar mais dinheiro e a gente está vendendo paninhos, livrinhos e é importante vender ingressos para tentar captar”. Apesar do risco financeiro, “a experiência é incrível”, com “pessoas de todos os lugares do mundo” e “é um currículo incrível para o espectáculo”. Oiça a entrevista neste programa.
What if sales isn't about convincing people—but making it easier for the right patients to say yes? In part two of Dr. Lauryn's July From the Vault series, sales expert Nikki Rausch explains how better conversations, clearer invitations, and confident follow-up can help practice owners work toward making an extra $50,000 by the end of 2026—without becoming pushy, scripted, or fake.Nikki breaks down her five-step Selling Staircase, from creating curiosity and building rapport to discovery, proposal, and closing the sale. She shares how to ask better questions, recognize buying signals, gain permission before presenting a solution, reduce decision fatigue with clear closing language, and use circle-back calls when someone needs more time. This episode is a practical guide to treating sales as communication, leadership, and service.Key TakeawaysSuccessful sales begin with rapport. Adjusting your communication style, listening carefully, and asking thoughtful questions can make prospective patients feel understood instead of pressured.Follow the five-step Selling Staircase. Introduction, curiosity, discovery, proposal, and close provide a clear framework for moving conversations forward without prematurely jumping to the offer.Make the buying decision easier. Ask permission before presenting a solution, use direct closing language such as “Which do you prefer?” and give the other person space to process and respond.Follow up without chasing people. Scheduling a specific circle-back call can dramatically improve conversions, while a prospect who refuses the follow-up can be respectfully “blessed and released.”About the GuestNikki Rausch is the CEO of Sales Maven, a sales training and coaching company that helps entrepreneurs and service-based business owners sell with confidence, kindness, and credibility.

In aflevering 24 van de Autoblog Podcast bespreken Wouter en Nicolas weer het opvallendste autonieuws van de week. Van Europese bemoeizucht tot bizarre elektrische sportwagens en de mogelijke comeback van een iconisch automerk. Het grootste nieuws komt uit Brussel. De Europese Commissie onderzoekt een systeem waarbij auto's je straks niet alleen waarschuwen als je te hard rijdt, maar ook daadwerkelijk afremmen. Dankzij gps, camera's en digitale kaarten zou je auto simpelweg kunnen weigeren harder te rijden dan de maximumsnelheid. Gelukkig is het voorlopig nog niet meer dan een plan, maar het zorgt nu al voor flink wat discussie. Mercedes-AMG kiest ondertussen voor de compleet andere aanpak. De nieuwe elektrische CLA 45 AMG levert tot 680 pk, sprint in 3 seconden naar de 100 en krijgt zelfs nep-motorgeluiden, kunstmatige schakelmomenten en trillingen in de stoelen om een verbrandingsmotor na te bootsen. Geniaal of juist totaal overbodig? Dit en meer in deze aflevering!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Many owners spend years building a successful practice only to discover they've built a business that still depends entirely on them. The result is a hidden ceiling on growth, freedom, and impact. Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen challenge the conventional obsession with scalability and introduce a more powerful objective: durability. Through the concept of Week 13, they reveal how scheduled vacations become a leadership accelerator, a business stress test, and a catalyst for developing stronger teams, stronger systems, and greater trust. The payoff is a practice that continues to create value, serve patients, and grow even when the owner steps away. The most expensive vacation is the one that you never take. The second most expensive vacation is the one that you have to shut the practice down to take it. Build DURABILITY into your practice so that you don't have to pay for your vacation twice. Spend the money that you are going to lose. In This Episode You Will Discover: Why taking time away may be the fastest path to building a stronger business A leadership challenge that exposes whether a practice is truly durable The hidden cost of becoming indispensable to patients and team members How a vacation can become a transformational opportunity for an associate doctor A simple framework that turns time away into a catalyst for growth Episode Highlights 02:59 - A surprisingly simple recommendation reveals whether a business is truly built for growth. 03:43 - The distinction between scalability and durability changes the way success should be measured. 04:44 - One overlooked business metric dramatically impacts long-term value and freedom. 06:17 - A concept called Week 13 challenges conventional thinking about productivity and success. 08:27 - The most effective growth strategy may look suspiciously like stepping away. 08:36 - A powerful question exposes what must be true for a business to thrive without its owner. 09:29 - The connection between personal energy and business performance becomes impossible to ignore. 10:49 - Patient behavior often reveals a leadership issue hiding beneath the surface. 15:06 - An uncomfortable contradiction challenges the way many health-focused professionals live their lives. 17:37 - A decision that feels expensive in the short term may create outsized returns everywhere else. 18:58 - One experience can accelerate an associate doctor's growth faster than months of training. 21:21 - A looming deadline creates the kind of urgency that leadership development requires. 22:38 - The difference between being away and truly disconnecting becomes crystal clear. 25:38 - Dr. Chris is joined by Success Partner, Dr. David Fletcher of CLA to explore how neurocentric scanning technology transforms chiropractic communication and practice growth. They discuss using objective nervous system data to improve retention, scale with team leverage, increase PVA, and strengthen certainty in care planning. CLA's technology enhances attraction, conversion, collections, and long-term scalability.

What do doctors need to hear right now if they want to make an extra $50,000 by the end of 2026? To kick off this July series, Dr. Lauryn is pulling from the vault to revisit the conversations that answer that question from different angles. And before we get into strategy, sales, systems, or scaling, we have to start with the thing quietly driving all of it: your relationship with money.In this conversation, Dr. Lauryn sits down with financial expert Hilary Hendershott to unpack money mindset, scarcity, self-worth, pricing, profit, and the “money operating systems” that shape the way business owners earn, spend, save, and sell. They discuss why your practice numbers often reveal your beliefs about money, how guilt and shame can sabotage profit, and why becoming financially empowered requires both practical numbers and deeper emotional awareness.Key Takeaways:Your money mindset is not just personal—it shows up directly in your practice numbers, pricing, sales conversations, debt, profit, and ability to grow. If your money operating system is built on scarcity, guilt, or self-worth, your business will reflect it.Financial health requires both the technical side of money and the emotional side of money. Hilary explains why business owners need to understand their numbers while also healing the patterns that keep them undercharging, overspending, or avoiding money conversations.Profit matters more than appearances. Big revenue, high volume, and flashy success metrics mean very little if the practice is not actually creating savings, stability, and long-term financial independence.Your ability to receive more money often depends on your comfort level with pricing, selling, and being seen as successful. When docs detach their self-worth from their numbers, they can make clearer, more empowered business decisions.Guest Bio:Hilary Hendershott is an MBA, Certified Financial Planner, founder and chief advisor of Hendershott Wealth Management, a fee-only fiduciary financial advisory firm helping women and couples build, invest, and protect their wealth. With more than 20 years of experience, Hilary blends practical financial strategy with money mindset work to help clients reduce financial stress, grow long-term wealth, and feel more empowered in their financial lives. She is also the host of Love Your Money, where she shares honest conversations and actionable advice around investing, financial freedom, and creating a healthier relationship with money.To follow or find ways to work with Hilary, visit her LinktreeResources:Find all things Dr. Lauryn B including ways to work with herFollow Dr. Lauryn: Instagram | Facebook | LinkedInFollow She Slays on YouTubeMentioned in this episode:Clinic MindClinic Mind is the all-in-one EHR and practice management platform built for chiropractors — billing, documentation, scheduling, and patient follow-up in one place, whether you run a cash practice, take insurance, or are scaling to multiple locations.

Are your brand colors actually helping people trust you, or are they just colors you happen to like? In this episode, Dr. Lauryn sits down with branding expert Nadine Hanafi to unpack why color choices are one of the most emotionally charged, overthought, and misunderstood parts of building a personal brand or business.Together, they discuss why branding is a strategic decision, not a stylistic one, how to choose colors based on brand energy instead of personal preference, and the difference between personality-driven and corporate-style brands. Nadine also breaks down common branding mistakes, when it makes sense to rebrand, why black-white-beige might be a safety move, and how “procrasti-branding” keeps entrepreneurs from actually putting themselves out there.Key Takeaways:Brand colors should be chosen strategically, not emotionally. Nadine explains why picking colors based only on personal preference can create misaligned branding that fails to communicate trust, confidence, authority, or the right brand energy.Personal brands and corporate brands need different color strategies. If you are the face of the business, your visual identity should reflect your personality while still sending the right signals to the clients, patients, or audience you want to attract.Rebranding is not a lifetime commitment. Nadine shares why branding is seasonal and may need to evolve when your audience, positioning, offers, business model, or personal identity shifts.“Procrasti-branding” is a real trap for entrepreneurs. Spending too long tweaking colors, logos, fonts, and photos can become a creative way to avoid launching, being visible, and telling the world what your brand is really about.Guest Bio:Nadine Hanafi is the founder of Digital Brand Kit and creator of Branded in a Day, a premium branding experience designed to help entrepreneurs develop a complete, strategic brand quickly and confidently. After more than a decade working with hundreds of personal brands, Nadine created her unique color consultation and branding process to help business owners avoid long, expensive, overwhelming branding projects and instead walk away with clear positioning, a cohesive visual identity, and the confidence to show up online. Her work has helped entrepreneurs, speakers, coaches, and industry leaders create brands that reflect the level they are operating at, attract aligned clients, and stand out with more clarity and confidence. Nadine's work has been featured in Fast Company, Entrepreneur, TED, Time Inc., and Harvard Business Review.To shop Nadine's Digital Brand Template and let her know She Slays sent you, visit here.To shop Nadine's Digital Branded In A Day Experience and let her know She Slays sent you, visit here.

Everybody in manufacturing knows the skills gap is real. Far fewer people are doing anything about it. That tension runs through this entire conversation, and it's why we're glad to have Kyra Tillman back on the show as part of our workforce development series. Kyra runs BTM Industries, a small job shop in Woodstock, Illinois, and she's a driving force behind the Manufacturing Pathways Consortium, a group of more than a hundred McHenry County manufacturers, every local high school, and dozens of community partners who decided to grow their own talent instead of fighting over the same shrinking pool. The numbers back it up. This year 186 students applied for the summer internship program and 85 got placed, with grant funding covering 85 percent of their wages. We get into the parts most people skip. How do you actually build an internship that works when your team is already slammed? Why do so many shops still say they don't have time for an inexperienced kid? And how did this group push back on a new Illinois foreign language requirement that would have gutted high school manufacturing programs, and win? There's a bigger idea underneath all of it. The shortage isn't only a skills gap, it's an opportunity gap. Most students have no idea these careers exist, and the fix isn't complicated. Open your doors, bring kids in, and let them try the work. Whether you run a shop, sit on a school board, or just want to see your community thrive, this one's a blueprint you can copy.

How do you give your kids every advantage without raising kids who expect life to hand them everything? In this episode, Dr. Lauryn and Kirby unpack one of the biggest first-generation wealth parenting dilemmas: using money to create opportunity while still teaching work ethic, perspective, gratitude, and financial responsibility.Together, they talk through the money conversations they're having with their kids, from career choices and salary expectations to credit history, Roth IRAs, 529 plans, cars, jobs, chores, and college. They also share where they feel confident, where they still feel like they're figuring it out, and why the way you live may teach your children more about money than anything you say.Key Takeaways:Financial literacy starts with honest conversations. Lauryn and Kirby explain why kids need to understand the connection between career choices, income, lifestyle, debt, and the tradeoffs that come with every path.Wealth can create opportunity without creating entitlement. They discuss tools like building credit history, employing kids through the family business, Roth IRAs, 529 plans, and college planning while still keeping the bigger focus on responsibility.Work ethic is modeled more than it is preached. Kids are watching how you spend, save, work, repair, travel, and find joy, which means your everyday choices may shape their money mindset more than formal lessons.Parenting financially smart kids requires ongoing course correction. Lauryn and Kirby share why they're looking for signs of independence, gratitude, and initiative now, while their kids are still young enough to be guided.Resources:Find all things Dr. Lauryn B including ways to work with herFollow Dr. Lauryn: Instagram | Facebook | LinkedInFollow She Slays on YouTubeMentioned in this episode:Clinic MindClinic Mind is the all-in-one EHR and practice management platform built for chiropractors — billing, documentation, scheduling, and patient follow-up in one place, whether you run a cash practice, take insurance, or are scaling to multiple locations.

Many practice owners assume team growth is a hiring problem when it is often a certainty and systems problem first. Dr. Lona and Dr. Denise Weber explore what gets overlooked when building a practice that can grow beyond the doctor, including the mental shifts required to attract strong team members, the role of infrastructure in maintaining standards, the importance of knowing your numbers, and why team buy-in follows leadership clarity. They discuss how uncertainty at the leadership level creates uncertainty throughout the practice, how systems reduce dependence on individual personalities, and why valuing your care appropriately impacts both patient commitment and team confidence. When leaders build conviction, communicate a clear vision, and create systems that support consistency, stronger teams, better decisions, and sustainable growth become possible. Key Highlights 01:07 – The internal question many practice owners avoid before building a stronger team. 04:06 – Why attracting great people has less to do with hiring tactics and more to do with who the leader becomes. 05:33 – The difference between relying on people to hold standards and creating systems that make standards sustainable. 06:29 – What team onboarding has in common with patient care plans and progress exams. 08:23 – Why certainty from the leader often determines the confidence level of the entire team. 10:10 – How preparation creates buy-in when a practice is moving into a new season of growth. 11:51 – The surprising distinction between needing more effort and needing more buy-in. 12:28 – What practice numbers reveal that intuition alone cannot. 13:35 – Why some doctors avoid metrics and what changes when they finally embrace them. 18:10 – The connection between valuing your care, team confidence, and patient commitment. 22:43 - Dr. Chris is joined by Success Partner, Dr. David Fletcher of CLA to explore how neurocentric scanning technology transforms chiropractic communication and practice growth. They discuss using objective nervous system data to improve retention, scale with team leverage, increase PVA, and strengthen certainty in care planning. CLA's technology enhances attraction, conversion, collections, and long-term scalability.

Tyler Clark sits down with Alessandro Nocera, an Italian basketball coach serving as individual player development coach at Saski Baskonia (EuroLeague) and head coach of the Italian U15 National Team. Alessandro's perspective has been shaped by six transformative years in the Spanish basketball system, which he credits with fundamentally reshaping how he sees and teaches the game.The conversation covers Alessandro's core offensive philosophy — dynamic vs. static one-on-one play and what it means to make decisions before the catch, not after. From there, Tyler and Alessandro dig into conceptual offense design, practice structure across different contexts, balancing offense and defense in limited time, the role of video and staff, and the deeply human side of coaching — adapting to every player and team as individuals.Timestamps15:01 — Alessandro's background and introduction 16:49 — Nike, Jordan Brand, Jr. NBA, UEFA license, and connection to Alex Sarama 17:28 — Dynamic vs. static 1v1: the foundational offensive concept 18:02 — Why stopping the ball kills the advantage 18:51 — Making decisions before the catch, not after 19:41 — Why static players fail to maximize potential at high levels 21:41 — Never play with two feet on the ground 22:30 — Teaching peripheral vision from a young age 23:30 — Why NBA players almost never catch with two feet 25:21 — Stampede actions and why they appear in every NBA action 25:50 — Soccer's influence on reading the game 26:27 — Messina and Consolini's influence on Alessandro's philosophy 27:11 — Guards and wings must always know where the 4 and 5 are 29:16 — How video accelerates learning in modern players 30:10 — Structuring development sessions across different contexts 32:30 — Building fundamentals from the game out: CLA with constraints, then on-air detail 33:25 — Evolving from drilling all day to surfing the fundamental spectrum 36:28 — Adapting to individual players: variability vs. focused repetition 37:27 — There's no system for everything — read the player and the game 38:45 — Adapting your philosophy entirely to your personnel 40:34 — Empathy in coaching: where art meets science 41:19 — Conceptual offense: what it is and what it isn't 44:10 — Alessandro's offensive structure: fast break in five, attack off every catch 46:10 — Run in five — all five players sprint immediately on possession 47:07 — Three core principles: spacing reads, zero-second decisions, inside-outside 48:05 — Rebounding as a habit, not a mindset 48:47 — Defensive philosophy: press the ball, cross steps, zero distance 49:16 — Triggers are secondary when your principles are locked in 51:53 — How to select triggers: analyze personnel and fit the action to the player 54:45 — Why coaches misunderstand conceptual offense as "just playing" 55:06 — Alessandro's team passes beautifully without ever formally training passing 56:47 — One rule: one-on-one always, one against two is a turnover 57:51 — Alessandro always used small-sided games — CLA before he had the language 59:52 — Classic constraint: 5v5 inside the three-point line 01:00:44 — Italian coaching school: Messina and Cremolini's influence 01:01:19 — Cremolini's CLA with 7-year-olds: teaching the layup without saying "layup" 01:04:20 — Weak hand constraint: score with the weak hand = double points 01:05:23 — Competition makes everything more natural 01:05:57 — The spy drill: players coach each other 01:07:52 — Messina's 10 drills, defensive footwork, and connecting 1v1 to 5v5 01:09:24 — Why defense doesn't get enough attention 01:10:05 — 50% of the game is defense — why is practice 90% offense? 01:11:15 — Defense is repetition — spend the time, get the result 01:12:39 — Staff dedicated to defense while you run offense — and vice versa 01:13:45 — The 11-man drill problem: nobody corrects the defense 01:15:55 — 3v2 and 4v3 as the best drills for ball pressure and collaboration 01:16:54 — For AAU coaches with one hour: cut everything to live play 01:17:46 — No assistant?

In this solo episode, host Coleman Ayers takes listeners inside his summer training sessions, sharing four key concepts he has been refining on the court with a diverse group of players ranging from pre-draft prospects to youth athletes. Coleman frames the episode around the idea that coaching is itself a constraints-led process, as players are posed with problems, coaches are simultaneously solving their own. The result is a candid, real-time look at how practical coaching philosophy evolves through repetition, observation, and a willingness to question conventional wisdom.Coleman unpacks how fatigue changes shot mechanics at a biomechanical level and why the classic cue of "use your legs" can actually backfire. He introduces hybrid games as a solution for training groups with mixed positions, breaks down how individual constraints allow every player to work on their own specific problems within the same drill, and explores a nuanced middle ground between block and variable training — particularly useful for younger or less experienced players who need challenge without overwhelming complexity. Each concept is grounded in real examples from his sessions and connected back to broader principles of skill acquisition and the constraints-led approach.Timestamps00:00 — Welcome and summer training context 00:39 — Running sessions 4–5 hours a day and using them to experiment and problem-solve 01:34 — How coaching mirrors the constraints-led approach: finding solutions through live problems 02:34 — Fatigue shooting: preparing pre-draft players for NBA workout conditioning 03:14 — Observing how different player archetypes respond to fatigue 04:07 — Fatigue as an internal constraint that forces new technical solutions 04:56 — Tracking shot mechanics from fresh to fatigued and drawing correlations 05:57 — Why "use your legs" cue often leads to slower, less efficient shots 06:28 — Coaching cues that worked: plyometric ground contact, external focus, making the ball feel light 07:19 — Results: players adjusted technique in ways that produced more efficient power 08:02 — Using fatigue as a constraint in drills and small-sided games 08:56 — Rotation systems and movement patterns that naturally induce fatigue during shooting 09:15 — Having players get their own rebounds to keep fatigue levels up 10:00 — Hybrid games: training mixed-position groups with a 7-footer, a 16-year-old guard, and everyone in between 10:50 — How varied rosters pushed Coleman to design games that serve multiple positions simultaneously 11:42 — Ball screen games as a natural entry point for hybrid guard/big work 12:30 — Dump-off games and positioning concepts for guards and bigs 13:02 — Defining hybrid games: letting each position operate in their truest role 13:52 — When to rotate positions versus keeping players in their own role 14:20 — Credit to Thomas Iisalo's philosophy on early positional exploration 15:10 — Individual constraints: giving each player a different problem within the same game 15:47 — Half-advantage 1v1 template with three dribbles to the rim 16:21 — How individual constraints turn a shared drill into a personalized workout 17:00 — The biggest CLA growth: it's not just setting up the game, it's knowing your players 17:42 — Block vs. variable training: finding a hybrid approach for younger or newer players 18:28 — The 360-degree shooting drill as an example of a difficult-but-blocked constraint 19:11 — Why block training with high difficulty still produces variability at the micro level 20:12 — The difference between micro and macro problems in skill development 21:05 — Meeting players halfway: those who struggle to move away from block training 21:40 — Anchor shooting vs. exploration shooting and where this approach sits on that spectrum 22:18 — Examples of difficulty without full variability: quick hop-backs, decision-based footwork 22:59 — The block-to-variable spectrum and how to adjust based on athlete and context 23:31 — How all four concepts apply to younger players, not just college/pros 24:57 — Closing thoughts: try these lenses, share what you're working on, join the BAM Coaches platformResources & LinksFree Resources: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/resources BAM Coaches Platform: https://platform.byanymeanscoaches.com/#/platform Books: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/blueprint-bookKeep ListeningIf you enjoyed this episode, here are three more you'll want to check out:What Science Says About Shooting Through Fatigue The research-backed companion to this episode.

Why do so many chiropractors struggle to sell care plans they genuinely believe in? And why does every “no” from a patient feel so personal? In this episode, Dr. Lauryn sits down with Dr. Daniel Bai of Close for Chiro for a candid, hilarious, and unfiltered conversation about ethical sales, patient psychology, and why the best closers are often the ones who stop talking so much.Together, Lauryn and Dr. Dan break down what actually happens on day one and day two, why patients need to feel deeply heard before they'll trust your solution, and how confusion kills conversions. They also dive into pricing confidence, why doctors over-explain their recommendations, how to stop taking patient decisions personally, and why ethical sales might be one of the most important skills for reducing practice owner burnout.Key Takeaways:Ethical sales starts with understanding the patient's real want, need, or desire. When doctors lead with curiosity instead of explanation, patients feel heard and are more likely to trust the recommended solution.Day one and day two are not separate events; they are one connected sales process. The more curious and patient-centered you are on day one, the more authority you earn when presenting answers on day two.Confused minds don't buy, and time kills deals. Simplifying care plans, finances, and recommendations can increase conversions more than adding more explanation ever will.Practice owners burn out when every patient yes or no becomes personal. A strong sales system helps doctors stay confident, ethical, and consistent without constantly defending their value.Guest Bio:Dr. Daniel Bai is the CEO of Close for Chiro, a provocative and enterprising consulting company serving the chiropractic industry through sales training, communication strategy, and business development. An author, speaker, and thought leader on modern sales and marketing, Dr. Dan is known for challenging outdated ideas about selling in healthcare while helping doctors build practices rooted in confidence, clarity, and ethical patient communication. His lessons are designed for chiropractors, but his straight-from-the-hip teaching style and no-nonsense approach to sales apply far beyond the profession.Follow Daniel on InstagramBook a consulting call with DanielResources:Find all things Dr. Lauryn B including ways to work with herFollow Dr. Lauryn: Instagram | Facebook | LinkedInFollow She Slays on YouTubeMentioned in this episode:Holistic Marketing HubWant to attract ideal patients to your clinic?

I used to weigh 300 pounds. I tried every restrictive diet, became a vegan, and trained 90 minutes a day for 18 months with absolute zero results. Everything changed when I drank a cup of yak butter tea at 18,300 feet in Tibet. Within 30 seconds, my severe brain fog lifted, and my metabolism completely shifted.In this video, I break down exactly why adding sugar to your morning coffee is destroying your metabolism, spiking your insulin, and keeping you fat. I explain the hard science behind the alternative: blending "fat cubes" (grass-fed butter) and MCT oil into your coffee. I reveal how this specific combination of butyrate, CLA, and medium-chain triglycerides bypasses traditional digestion to go straight to your liver, instantly converting into ketones for pure brain fuel. You'll learn how eating more fat actually trains your body to burn its own stored fat, allowing me to hit 4.8% body fat at 50 years old with a biological age in my 30s—without hunger, without a 3 PM crash, and without living in the gym.Thank you to our sponsors!Suppgrade Labs | Grab your DAKE and Minerals 101 duo at shopsuppgradelabs.com and use code DAVEPOD for 15% off todayViome | Check it out at viome.com and use code 10DAVE for 10% off.

Are you still the bottleneck in your clinic even though you have a team? In this solo episode, Dr. Lauryn is back with part two of her conversation on owner dependency, and this time she is getting practical. If your team still needs constant hand-holding, your systems feel messy, and delegation feels harder than just doing it yourself, this episode is your next step.Dr. Lauryn walks through the SEAD framework: Simplify, Eliminate, Automate, and Delegate. She explains how to use team time audits, blank org charts, AI tools, VAs, software automation, and smarter delegation to create real bandwidth inside your practice. This is not about dumping more work onto your staff. It is about cleaning up chaos, freeing your best people for higher-level ownership, and helping you finally move from manager mode into CEO mode.Key Takeaways:Before you delegate more, you need to understand what your team is already carrying. A full team time audit helps reveal repeated tasks, interruptions, unnecessary approvals, manual work, and hidden capacity leaks.The SEAD framework gives clinic owners a practical way to clean up operations before adding more responsibility to the team. Simplify what is too complicated, eliminate what no longer matters, automate what software or AI can handle, and delegate work to the right person or resource.Delegation should not start by pushing your chaos onto an already overwhelmed employee. The first move is often delegating tasks away from your team to a VA, software, AI tool, outside service, or lower-level support role.Moving from manager to CEO requires patience, leadership, and a willingness to invest time now for freedom later. Your team needs clarity, authority, safety to make mistakes, and structured support as they take ownership of higher-value work.Resources:Find all things Dr. Lauryn B including ways to work with herFollow Dr. Lauryn: Instagram | Facebook | LinkedInFollow She Slays on YouTubeMentioned in this episode:INSiGHT CLAThis episode is brought to you by the INSiGHT scanning system from CLA, the tool that helps chiropractors show patients objective neurological data so the value of care becomes clear, fueling conversion, retention, and growth.

Is your chiropractic practice actually a sellable business, or have you accidentally built yourself a job? In this follow-up conversation on preparing your practice for sale, Dr. Lauryn sits down with Dr. Jay LaGuardia to unpack the numbers, systems, and blind spots that determine whether a clinic becomes a valuable asset or quietly closes its doors.Together, they break down EBITDA, practice valuation, multipliers, profitability, private equity, succession planning, and why gross revenue alone does not determine what your practice is worth. Dr. Jay also shares why chiropractors need to increase their financial IQ, how strong systems and predictable cash flow raise practice value, and why waiting until you're tired, injured, or ready to retire may cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars.Key Takeaways:Your practice valuation is based on profitability, predictable cash flow, systems, team, brand, and future earning potential—not just gross revenue. A high-revenue practice can be worth less than a smaller, more profitable clinic if the business fundamentals are weak.EBITDA and multipliers are essential concepts for chiropractic practice owners to understand before they ever think about selling. The stronger your systems, documentation, team, cash flow, and patient base, the stronger your multiplier can become.Chiropractors need to start preparing for succession three to five years before they plan to exit. Illness, disability, burnout, and unexpected life changes can destroy practice value quickly if there is no plan in place.Financial IQ and business IQ are no longer optional for clinic owners. Learning how to read a P&L, understand payroll metrics, and make decisions from abundance instead of scarcity can dramatically change the future of your practice.Guest Bio:Dr. Jay LaGuardia has been an entrepreneurial enthusiast for more than 45 years, beginning his first business journey at just 12 years old. Over the course of his career, he has opened 18 companies across multiple industries, including chiropractic offices, coaching companies, real estate development, fitness studios, podcasting, and more. He is also an Amazon bestselling author and the founder of Triple P Life, where he helps entrepreneurs build thriving, profitable businesses while also pursuing peak health, strong family lives, and long-term personal fulfillment.Contact Dr. Jay directly drjay@tripleplife.comFind resources and ways to work with Dr. Jay at Triple P LifeFollow Dr. Jay on InstagramResources:Follow Dr. Lauryn: Instagram | Facebook | LinkedInFollow She Slays on YouTubeMentioned in this episode:To learn more about CLA and the INSiGHT scanner go to the link below and enter code SHESLAYS when prompted.CLAHolistic Marketing HubWant to attract ideal patients to your clinic?

Are you planning on the sale of your practice to fund your retirement, but waiting until you're already exhausted to think about it? In this episode, Dr. Lauryn sits down with Dr. Ruth Mannschreck to talk about why practice owners need to start preparing for a future sale years before they ever plan to leave.Together, they discuss how to increase the value of your clinic beyond revenue, why selling on an upward trend matters, and how owner dependency, weak systems, referral risks, and team uncertainty can hurt your resale value. Ruth also shares what she learned from selling two practices, why your team should be part of the transition conversation, and how to build a clinic that is more turnkey, more transferable, and more aligned with the legacy you actually want to leave behind.Key Takeaways:Preparing your practice to sell should start long before retirement. The strongest sales happen when the clinic is still growing, energized, and positioned as a valuable opportunity—not when the owner is burned out and ready to escape.Your practice value is about more than revenue. Referral systems, team culture, intellectual property, patient retention, vendor relationships, and documented SOPs can all help make your clinic more attractive to the right buyer.Owner dependency can kill a future sale. If the practice runs entirely on your face, your name, your hours, or your personal relationships, a buyer may see it as purchasing a job instead of a business.A successful transition protects more than your paycheck. The right sale considers your team, your patients, your culture, and the next owner's ability to succeed after you leave.Guest Bio:Dr. Ruth Mannschreck is a dentist, practice management strategist, and owner/founder of Shoreline Strategies LLC. After building a successful dental practice from the ground up, a life-altering family experience led her to reduce her clinical hours from 40 to 25 per week while maintaining and eventually exceeding the practice's previous production levels. That shift inspired her to create a streamlined business model focused on strong systems, high-performing teams, and magnetic company culture. Today, Dr. Ruth helps practice owners build clinics that can run more efficiently, support a better life, and prepare for a stronger eventual sale.Get your free Prep Your Business To Sell ChecklistFind out how you can work with Ruth by visiting Shoreline StrategiesFollow Ruth on LinkedInResources:Follow Dr. Lauryn: Instagram | Facebook | LinkedInFollow She Slays on YouTubeMentioned in this episode:Holistic Marketing HubWant to attract ideal patients to your clinic?

Why does your clinic still fall apart, stall out, or wait for you to make every decision? In this solo episode, Dr. Lauryn breaks down the hidden owner dependency patterns that keep practice owners trapped as the answering machine, fixer, manager, and emotional support system for their entire team.Dr. Lauryn unpacks how clinics become dependent on the owner, why taking tasks back teaches your team to rely on you, and how hover parenting, unclear delegation, and lack of project management skills keep your practice from truly running without you. She also explains the difference between working in, on, and over your clinic, and gives listeners an owner dependency audit to start identifying where their team still needs them too much.Key Takeaways:Owner dependency is often created by the leader, not the team. When practice owners answer too quickly, take tasks back, or silently fix mistakes, they train employees to wait for direction instead of developing initiative.Delegation requires clarity, not vague frustration. Your team cannot fully own a task until you clearly define what needs to be done, what good execution looks like, and what level of decision-making they are responsible for.Moving from operator to CEO means teaching your team how to think. True clinic freedom comes when employees can solve problems, bring solutions, use SOPs, leverage AI, and manage projects without constantly relying on the owner's brain.An owner dependency audit is the first step toward freedom. By tracking the questions, decisions, tasks, edits, reminders, and emotional load that still come back to you, you can see exactly where your clinic is still built around your involvement.Resources:Follow Dr. Lauryn: Instagram | Facebook | LinkedInFollow She Slays on YouTubeMentioned in this episode:Holistic Marketing HubHolistic Marketing HubTo learn more about CLA and the INSiGHT scanner go to the link below and enter code SHESLAYS when prompted.CLA
