Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/qF-YbIEGZJM Rob and Kate have been together since high school. Years ago they took over the family farm and trucking operation, doubled the business, and then watched 2025 turn into the hardest year of their lives. In this episode they get honest about what it actually takes to run a trucking company as a husband and wife team. The 16-hour days through the freight recession. The financial calls that kept them up at night. The hardest decision they ever had to make. And how they protected their marriage and their kids while fighting to keep the trucks moving. If you run a fleet, drive for one, or you are trying to survive this market alongside the people you love, this conversation is going to hit home.

They discuss the importance of understanding financial metrics, such as P&Ls and cash flow, and emphasize the need for systems to manage expenses effectively.

Dr. Ravi Kapur, Co-Founder and CEO of AutoIVF, describes the current state of IVF as an expensive artisanal process with limited access due to structural constraints and a shortage of highly skilled embryologists. Bringing automation to the environment increases lab throughput and lowers costs, enabling a decentralized model where eggs are collected at an OB/GYN office. This data-driven technology can recover viable eggs that may have been discarded in the past, potentially improving success rates, greatly expanding access, and standardizing best practices across clinics. Ravi explains, "Our mission is to expand access to fertility care by transforming IVF into a scalable, automated, and standardized platform. So the big picture goal here is to democratize IVF, enable affordable access to all patients who can benefit from IVF." "Some of the big problems in IVF today are limited access and long wait times. This is in a demand-limited market. It's a supply-limited market, structurally constrained. Automation is going to enable increasing lab throughput. Automation will enable more cycles for the lab or embryologist, and automation enables uniquely meaningful, low-cost expansion into underserved regions." "It's a very artisanal process. It requires a small pool of very highly skilled radiologists, and it takes years of training to get to that level of scale. What we aim to do is automate best practices into technology, which then drives standardized systems. And IVF is expensive. It's one of the key barriers to entry. It's $15,000 to $25,000 per cycle in the US and often requires multiple cycles to a live birth." #AutoIVF #Fertility #HealthcareInnovation #IVF #Automation #ReproductiveHealth #FertilityCare #DigitalHealth #MedTech #AutomationInHealthcare #ReproductiveMedicine #AccessToCare AutoIVF.com Download the transcript here

Thanks to our partners Promotive, WickedFile, Maverick Shop Owners, and OverdryveYou bought a slower machine to save money. You kept the cheap tech to avoid risk.

Russell Reading is joined by clean tech consultant Tristan Dorman to break down why commercial battery storage is surging: covering energy price volatility, grid reliability, falling system costs, and maturing tech. They explore how batteries unlock value through self-consumption of solar, peak shaving, off‑peak arbitrage, and participation in flexibility/capacity markets, plus what businesses should evaluate before investing (including approvals and future load growth). The episode closes with a look ahead at batteries becoming “standard,” rising demand (including from AI/data centers), and improvements in battery chemistry and deployment models.
In this episode, Sarah Armitage, an assistant professor at Boston University, sits with host Daniel Raimi to share findings from a working paper she wrote with coauthors about the transfer sales of oil and gas wells and why this practice of oil and gas companies selling wells to each other can lead to negative consequences of “unplugged,” or “orphaned,” or abandoned wells. Armitage explains why unmaintained oil and gas infrastructure, such as orphaned wells, can lead to negative environmental consequences if not “plugged” or sealed after use; these abandoned wells often contain pollutants that can leak into the environment. She also lays out key factors behind project financing that can mitigate a mismatch in business incentives and environmental safety. Given that oil and gas wells, new and old, are spread across the United States, Armitage points to the continued challenges of navigating the state regulations and potential financial solutions that can make proper maintenance easier for old oil and gas wells. Policies that ensure some level of financial assurance, Armitage and coauthors find, can help fill a gap in incentives and put a plug on pollution before it starts.

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Timothy Boyle of Reva Global Medical to talk about how virtual staffing is helping healthcare practices reduce administrative overload, improve efficiency, and recover lost revenue. Tim shares his unique journey from professional hockey into healthcare sales, then explains how his team recruits and trains medically experienced virtual assistants to support practices with scheduling, insurance verification, patient follow-up, prior authorizations, billing, and accounts receivable. The conversation explores how understaffed teams often create bottlenecks that hurt case acceptance, chair retention, and collections, and how virtual support can help fill those gaps at a fraction of the cost of local hiring. They also discuss HIPAA compliance, EMR training, AI's growing role in healthcare operations, and why thoughtful delegation is becoming essential for scaling modern practices.

Overhead feels too high, and many dentists try to fix it by cutting costs in the wrong places. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt talks with co-host Miranda Beeson about how to evaluate overhead through two lenses—spending and collections—so you can reduce overhead without compromising the practice. You'll learn what “high overhead” actually looks like, where practices typically leak revenue, what to review inside your overhead buckets, and the specific actions you can implement today to strengthen collections and control supply and lab spend.Listen to Episode 1024 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Overhead should be evaluated through two lenses: spending and collections.Cutting costs reactively can create team frustration and does not fix the root cause of high overhead.If collections are below 100%, the practice is chasing money, accounts receivable grows, and overhead percentage rises.High overhead is often tied to inconsistent expense review and emotional purchasing decisions instead of systematic ones.Strong overhead performance includes consistent review of overhead buckets and budgeting supplies and lab as a percent of collections.Same-day financial closure and clearer ownership of accounts receivable improve collection performance.Assigning an ordering and inventory “champion” with a defined budget helps prevent overspending and product waste.Snippets:00:00 Metric Mondays Intro01:30 Overhead Problem Framing02:33 Two Lenses Overview04:37 Common Overhead Mistakes07:59 What Good Looks Like10:57 Fix Collections Today12:51 Control Spending Systems14:20 Supply Budget Benchmarks16:15 Labs And Invoice Checks17:26 Wrap Up And Next StepsGuest Bio/Guest Resources:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience. She is enthusiastic about communication and loves helping others find the power that words can bring to their patient interactions and practice dynamics. As a Lead Practice Coach, she is driven to create opportunities to find value in experiences and cultivate new approaches.Miranda graduated from Old Dominion University, and enjoys spending time with her husband, Chuck, and her children, Trent, Mallory, and Cassidy.

One of the most significant contributors to energy consumption in these properties is the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Traditional HVAC systems often operate inefficiently, particularly in rental settings where guests may not prioritize energy conservation. However, innovative technologies, such as MODO introduced by Sensor ID, are paving the way for a more energy-efficient future in the hospitality market.Understanding the ProblemWhen guests check into a rental property, their immediate instinct is often to adjust the HVAC system to their preferred temperature, frequently resulting in energy waste. Many guests leave the air conditioning running, regardless of whether they are inside or outside the property. This behavior not only leads to increased energy costs for property owners but also contributes to unnecessary environmental impact. In a landscape where energy costs are a significant part of operational expenses, finding ways to optimize HVAC usage is crucial.The Solution: Smart HVAC SystemsSensor ID has introduced a groundbreaking product called MODO, designed specifically for the hospitality market. This innovative system aims to reduce energy consumption in vacation rentals and B&Bs by employing smart technology to optimize HVAC operations. MODO is a plug-and-play device that emulates the remote control of HVAC systems, allowing it to adjust settings based on guest presence and behavior. By detecting whether guests are inside or outside the property, MODO can intelligently manage heating and cooling, ensuring comfort while minimizing energy waste.The system allows property owners to set temperature ranges and monitor occupancy rates through a user-friendly web application. This capability not only empowers owners to manage their energy consumption effectively but also provides valuable insights into guest behavior. With nearly 1,000 installations primarily in Europe, MODO has demonstrated remarkable results, with users reporting energy savings of 40% to 60%. Such savings can significantly impact the bottom line for property owners, making energy efficiency a compelling business strategy.The Dual Focus: Guests and OwnersOne of the key advantages of Sensor ID's MODO is its dual focus on both guests and property owners. While the technology is designed to enhance the guest experience by maintaining a comfortable environment, it simultaneously equips owners with the tools they need to manage energy consumption effectively. This balance is essential in the hospitality industry, where guest satisfaction and operational efficiency are paramount.For guests, the system ensures a pleasant stay without the need for constant manual adjustments to the HVAC system. For owners, MODO provides a professional approach to energy management, offering insights and flexibility in setting policies that align with their business objectives. This dual focus creates a value chain that benefits all parties involved, promoting sustainability while enhancing the overall rental experience.The Future of Energy Efficiency in RentalsAs the hospitality industry continues to evolve, the integration of energy-efficient technologies like MODO will become increasingly vital. The shift towards sustainability is not just a trend; it is a necessity in a world facing climate challenges. Property owners who invest in smart HVAC systems can not only reduce their operational costs but also contribute to a greener future.Moreover, as larger hotel chains and rental platforms recognize the importance of energy efficiency, the adoption of such technologies is likely to expand. The potential for collaboration between technology providers and hospitality businesses can lead to innovative solutions that further enhance energy management in rentals.ConclusionIn conclusion, energy-efficient HVAC systems represent a significant opportunity for the rental market to reduce costs and promote sustainability. The innovative approaches showcased by companies like Sensor ID highlight the potential for smart technology to transform how property owners manage energy consumption. By focusing on both guest comfort and owner efficiency, these solutions pave the way for a more sustainable future in the hospitality industry.

In this powerful and timely episode, nine-time Emmy winner David Sams sits down with longtime friend of KeepTheFaith, Marq James, Chief Marketing Officer of Medi-Share—the Christian healthcare-sharing community that's been helping families cover their medical costs for more than 30 years. With the rising cost of health insurance dominating headlines, Marq breaks down why so many Americans are anxious, confused, and overwhelmed—and how the Medi-Share community is offering a Christ-centered alternative that can save families hundreds of dollars a month. He explains the difference between traditional insurance and healthcare sharing, how members support one another in prayer and financial burdens, and why thousands of people (including those 65+ on Medicare) are switching. Marq also opens up about his deeply personal battle with long COVID—how it affected his mind, memory, and identity, and how God used that season to reshape his heart, deepen his faith, and restore his calling to "be light" in a world craving hope and clarity. From the power of prayer to the reality of rising medical costs, this conversation brings wisdom, encouragement, and practical options for anyone struggling with today's healthcare landscape. Episode Highlights: • Why healthcare costs are skyrocketing—and what families can actually do about it • How Medi-Share's Christ-centered model works (and how it's different from insurance) • What Medi-Share offers for people 65+ on Medicare • The early-church inspiration behind healthcare sharing • Marq's raw and inspiring journey through long COVID • A closing prayer for anyone feeling anxious or overwhelmed CALL 833-32BIBLE AND GET A QUOTE TODAY!

Is your company using AI to trim your budget, or to multiply your team's impact? We're joined by Matt Culver, a senior engineering leader at Super.com, to discuss why the common view of AI as a tool for cost-cutting is a misguided "accounting mindset" that ultimately destroys trust. He argues that leaders should instead see efficiency gains from AI as a powerful opportunity to reinvest in their teams. This conversation reframes the AI debate by urging leaders to look beyond the coding loop to improve the entire product development lifecycle—from ideation to delivery.Matt explains that the key to successful AI adoption is aligning new initiatives with the developer's core incentives: removing friction and enabling the creative flow state that makes their job enjoyable. He provides a human-centric approach for channeling AI's power to solve upstream problems in product planning and market research, rather than just generating more code.

Reimagining Affordable Healthcare with Mark Newman of Nomi Health In this compelling episode, Michael connects with Mark Newman, co-founder and CEO of Nomi Health, to tackle the unsustainable state of the U.S. healthcare system. Mark shares a bold vision: rebuilding healthcare from the ground up to be 30–50% more affordable. With every American contributing $1,600 annually to Medicare, Mark emphasizes that we can't afford not to innovate. Together, they unpack how business-minded strategies can drive healthcare transformation—making it not only more cost-effective but more accessible for everyone. Cutting Through Complexity: Transparent Pricing in Healthcare Michael and Mark dive deep into one of the healthcare system's most pressing pain points: the lack of pricing transparency. From surprise bills to excessive admin burdens, they expose how the system drives up costs and burns out providers. Mark offers a refreshing solution—transparent, upfront pricing with no copays or deductibles. This model empowers patients, increases provider compensation, and saves employers and families money. It's a call to action for simplicity and clarity in care. Preventative Care: The $500 Billion Solution What if we could save half a trillion dollars a year by focusing on prevention instead of reaction? Mark presents a transformative idea: double the compensation of primary care providers and pivot the system toward proactive, preventative care for every American. The initial investment—around $200 billion—pales in comparison to the potential economic impact: a trillion dollars returned annually to businesses, families, and government. Michael and Mark explore how prioritizing wellness today can dramatically reshape our health and financial future. Fixing What's Broken: A Smarter Approach to Healthcare Wrapping up the conversation, Michael and Mark shine a light on the root inefficiencies plaguing today's healthcare ecosystem. From misaligned incentives that reward reactive treatment to outdated administrative processes, it's clear the system needs a redesign. Mark calls for a healthcare model that prioritizes simplicity, efficiency, and preventative care. He encourages listeners ready to be part of the solution to learn more at nomihealth.com.

My guest today is Cliff Sosin. Cliff is the founder of CAS Investment Partners, a fund he started with $5 million in 2012 and has grown to $1.7 billion as of the last reported numbers at the end of 2024. At the time, CAS had only four positions. This conversation is different to our typical episodes. We start by talking about Cliff's investing philosophy but the bulk of this long discussion is a case study into his remarkable investment in Carvana. Cliff is one of the biggest investors in the business, which had a market cap over $60 billion in 2021, then fell 99%, survived, and now has a market cap approaching $50 billion again. While I hosted Carvana's CEO, Ernie Garcia, last year to get the inside perspective on managing through such turbulence, today we hear the investor's side of this extraordinary story. It is a singular episode and there are so many lessons in this rare opportunity to hear a major investor describe his decision-making process at every stage of the journey.

Justin Wylie is a fifth-generation farmer in California's Central Valley, who manages pistachios and citrus with his family. His journey to regenerative agriculture began around 2012, driven by his growing skepticism of conventional systems. When his son was born in 2013 and faced severe health challenges, including respiratory issues and an autism diagnosis, Justin and his wife took a radical approach, eliminating toxins from their son's diet. This led to dramatic health improvements and deepened Justin's commitment to connecting human health with regenerative farming. Today, Justin leads sustainability initiatives within the American Pistachio Growers, working to create a roadmap for regenerative practices. He emphasizes data-driven approaches, reduced chemical inputs, and innovative research on how plant interactions affect crop yield. His work focuses on improving soil health while maintaining economic viability for farmers.
