You're doing the boutique model—or so you think. But what if the system you've built is quietly holding you back from the business (and life) you really want? This episode will hit home for the photographers juggling it all and still wondering why things aren't clicking. In this heart-opening conversation, Sarah talks with Kim Phelan, a mom of four and in-home daycare owner who thought she had boutique figured out—until she realized she didn't. After joining Boutique Breakthrough, she revamped her entire process and made $5,559 from just three portrait sessions. Her story is one of reclaiming worth, community, and the right kind of support. ● Why doing boutique "by the book" might still be costing you money and peace of mind ● The power of purpose-driven selling (and how Kim made it feel joyful, not salesy) ● How real community changes everything when you're trying to do it all alone If you're feeling stretched thin, second-guessing your strategy, or wondering if change is really possible—this is the episode your heart's been waiting for.

Osteomyelitis in children is common enough to miss and serious enough to matter. In this episode of PEM Currents, we review a practical, evidence-based approach to pediatric acute hematogenous osteomyelitis, focusing on diagnostic strategy, imaging decisions including FAST MRI, and modern antibiotic management. Topics include age-based microbiology, empiric and pathogen-directed antibiotic selection with dosing, criteria for early transition to oral therapy, and indications for orthopedic and infectious diseases consultation. Special considerations such as MRSA, Kingella kingae, daycare clustering, and shortened treatment durations are discussed with an emphasis on safe, high-value care. Learning Objectives After listening to this episode, learners will be able to: Identify the key clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings that support the diagnosis of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in children, including indications for FAST MRI and contrast-enhanced MRI. Select and dose appropriate empiric and pathogen-directed antibiotic regimens for pediatric osteomyelitis based on patient age, illness severity, and local MRSA prevalence, and determine when early transition to oral therapy is appropriate. Determine when consultation with orthopedics and infectious diseases is indicated, and recognize clinical features that warrant prolonged therapy or more conservative management.

As always, I'm your host, Brad Sobolewski, and today we're covering osteomyelitis in children. We're going to talk about diagnosis and imaging, and then spend most of our time where practice variation still exists: antibiotic selection, dosing, duration, and the evidence supporting early transition to oral therapy. We'll also talk about when to involve orthopedics, infectious diseases, and whether daycare outbreaks of osteomyelitis are actually a thing. So what do I mean by pediatric osteomyelitis? In children, osteomyelitis is most commonly acute hematogenous osteomyelitis. That means bacteria seed the bone via the bloodstream. The metaphysis of long bones is particularly vulnerable due to vascular anatomy that favors bacterial deposition. Age matters. In neonates, transphyseal vessels allow infection to cross into joints, increasing the risk of concomitant septic arthritis. In older children, those vessels involute, and infection tends to remain metaphyseal and confined to bone rather than spreading into the joint. For children three months of age and older, empiric therapy must primarily cover Staphylococcus aureus, which remains the dominant pathogen. Other common organisms include group A streptococcus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. In children six to 36 months of age, especially those in daycare, Kingella kingae is an important and often underrecognized pathogen. Kingella infections are typically milder, may present with lower inflammatory markers, and frequently yield negative routine cultures. Kingella is usually susceptible to beta-lactams like cefazolin, but is consistently resistant to vancomycin and often resistant to clindamycin and antistaphylococcal penicillins. This has direct implications for empiric antibiotic selection. Common clinical features of osteomyelitis include fever, localized bone pain, refusal to bear weight, and pain with movement of an adjacent joint. Fever may be absent early, particularly with less virulent organisms like Kingella. A normal white blood cell count does not exclude osteomyelitis. Only about one-third of children present with leukocytosis. CRP and ESR are generally more useful, particularly CRP for monitoring response to therapy. No single CRP cutoff reliably diagnoses or excludes osteomyelitis in children. While CRP is elevated in most cases of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis, the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society and the Infectious Diseases Society of America note that high-quality data defining diagnostic thresholds are limited. A CRP above 20 milligrams per liter is commonly used to support clinical suspicion, with pooled sensitivity estimates around 80 to 85 percent, but no definitive value mandates the diagnosis. Lower values do not exclude disease, particularly in young children, as CRP is normal in up to 40 percent of Kingella kingae infections. CRP values tend to be higher in Staphylococcus aureus infections, especially MRSA, and higher levels are associated with complications such as abscess, bacteremia, and thrombosis, though specific cutoffs are not absolute. In summary, CRP is most useful for monitoring treatment response. It typically peaks two to four days after therapy initiation and declines rapidly with effective treatment, with a 50 percent reduction within four days seen in the majority of uncomplicated cases. Blood cultures should be obtained in all children with suspected osteomyelitis, ideally before starting antibiotics when feasible. In children, blood cultures alone can sometimes identify the pathogen. Plain radiographs are still recommended early, not because they're sensitive for acute osteomyelitis, but because they help exclude fracture, malignancy, or foreign body and establish a baseline. MRI with and without contrast is the preferred advanced imaging modality. MRI confirms the diagnosis, defines the extent of disease, and identifies complications such as subperiosteal abscess, physeal involvement, and concomitant septic arthritis. MRI findings can also guide the need for surgical consultation. Many pediatric centers now use FAST MRI protocols for suspected osteomyelitis, particularly from the emergency department. FAST MRI uses a limited sequence set, typically fluid-sensitive sequences like STIR or T2 with fat suppression, without contrast. These studies significantly reduce scan time, often avoid the need for sedation, and retain high sensitivity for bone marrow edema and soft tissue inflammation. FAST MRI is particularly useful when the clinical question is binary: is there osteomyelitis or not? It's most appropriate in stable children without high concern for abscess, multifocal disease, or surgical complications. If FAST MRI is positive, a full contrast-enhanced MRI may still be needed to delineate abscesses, growth plate involvement, or adjacent septic arthritis. If FAST MRI is negative but clinical suspicion remains high, further imaging may still be necessary. The Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society and the Infectious Diseases Society of America recommend empiric antibiotic selection based on regional MRSA prevalence, patient age, and illness severity, with definitive therapy guided by culture results and susceptibilities. Empiric therapy should never be delayed in an ill-appearing or septic child. In well-appearing, stable children, antibiotics may be briefly delayed to obtain imaging or tissue sampling, but this requires close inpatient observation. For children three months and older with non–life-threatening disease, empiric therapy hinges on local MRSA rates. In regions with low community-acquired MRSA prevalence, generally under 10 percent, reasonable empiric options include cefazolin, oxacillin, or nafcillin. When MRSA prevalence exceeds 10 to 20 percent, empiric therapy should include an MRSA-active agent. Clindamycin is appropriate when local resistance rates are low, while vancomycin is preferred when clindamycin resistance is common or the child has had significant healthcare exposure. For children with severe disease or sepsis, vancomycin is generally preferred regardless of local MRSA prevalence. Some experts recommend combining vancomycin with oxacillin or nafcillin to ensure optimal coverage for MSSA, group A streptococcus, and MRSA. In toxin-mediated or high-inoculum infections, the addition of clindamycin may be beneficial due to protein synthesis inhibition. Typical IV dosing includes cefazolin 100 to 150 milligrams per kilogram per day divided every eight hours; oxacillin or nafcillin 150 to 200 milligrams per kilogram per day divided every six hours; clindamycin 30 to 40 milligrams per kilogram per day divided every six to eight hours; and vancomycin 15 milligrams per kilogram every six hours for serious infections, with appropriate monitoring. Ceftaroline or daptomycin may be considered in select MRSA cases when first-line agents are unsuitable. For methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, first-generation cephalosporins or antistaphylococcal penicillins remain the preferred parenteral agents. For oral therapy, high-dose cephalexin, 75 to 100 milligrams per kilogram per day divided every six hours, is preferred. Clindamycin is an alternative when beta-lactams cannot be used. For clindamycin-susceptible MRSA, clindamycin is the preferred IV and oral agent due to excellent bioavailability and bone penetration, and it avoids the renal toxicity associated with vancomycin. For clindamycin-resistant MRSA, vancomycin or ceftaroline are preferred IV agents. Oral options are limited, and linezolid is generally the preferred oral agent when transition is possible. Daptomycin may be used parenterally in children older than one year without pulmonary involvement, typically with infectious diseases and pharmacy input. Beta-lactams remain the drugs of choice for Kingella kingae, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Vancomycin has no activity against Kingella, and clindamycin is often ineffective. For Salmonella osteomyelitis, typically seen in children with sickle cell disease, third-generation cephalosporins or fluoroquinolones are used. In underimmunized children under four years, consider Haemophilus influenzae type b, with therapy guided by beta-lactamase production. Doxycycline has not been prospectively studied in pediatric acute hematogenous osteomyelitis. There are theoretical concerns about reduced activity in infected bone and risks related to prolonged therapy. While short courses are safe for certain infections, the longer durations required for osteomyelitis increase the risk of adverse effects. Doxycycline should be considered only when no other active oral option is available, typically in older children, and with infectious diseases consultation. It is not appropriate for routine treatment. Many hospitals automatically consult orthopedics when children are admitted with osteomyelitis, and this is appropriate. Early orthopedic consultation should be viewed as team-based care, not failure of medical management. Consult orthopedics when MRI shows abscess or extensive disease, there is concern for septic arthritis, the child fails to improve within 48 to 72 hours, imaging suggests devitalized bone or growth plate involvement, there is a pathologic fracture, the patient is a neonate, or diagnostic bone sampling or operative drainage is being considered. Routine surgical debridement is not required for uncomplicated cases. Infectious diseases consultation is also often automatic and supported by guidelines. ID is particularly valuable for antibiotic selection, dosing, IV-to-oral transition, duration decisions, bacteremia management, adverse reactions, and salvage regimens. Even in straightforward cases, ID involvement often facilitates shorter IV courses and earlier oral transition. Osteomyelitis is generally not contagious, and clustering is uncommon for Staphylococcus aureus. Kingella kingae is the key exception. It colonizes the oropharynx of young children and spreads via close contact. Clusters of invasive Kingelladisease have been documented in daycare settings. Suspicion should be higher in children six to 36 months from the same daycare, with recent viral illness, mild systemic symptoms, refusal to bear weight, modest CRP elevation, and negative routine cultures unless PCR testing is used. Public health intervention is not typically required, but awareness is critical. There is no minimum required duration of IV therapy for uncomplicated acute hematogenous osteomyelitis. Transition to oral therapy should be based on clinical improvement plus CRP decline. Many children meet criteria within two to six days. Oral antibiotics must be dosed higher than standard outpatient regimens to ensure adequate bone penetration. Common regimens include high-dose cephalexin, clindamycin, or linezolid in select cases. The oral agent should mirror the IV agent that produced clinical improvement. Total duration is typically three to four weeks, and in many cases 15 to 20 days is sufficient. MRSA infections or complicated cases usually require four to six weeks. Early oral transition yields outcomes comparable to prolonged IV therapy with fewer complications. Most treatment-related complications occur during parenteral therapy, largely due to catheter-related issues. Take-home points: osteomyelitis in children is a clinical diagnosis supported by labs and MRI. Empiric antibiotics should be guided by age, illness severity, and local MRSA prevalence. Early transition to high-dose oral therapy is safe and effective when clinical response and CRP support it. Orthopedics and infectious diseases consultation improve care and reduce variation. FAST MRI is changing how we diagnose osteomyelitis. Daycare clustering is uncommon except with Kingella kingae. That's all for this episode.

What happens to your business when the economy shifts, jobs disappear, and your clients start feeling the pressure before you do? How resilient is your pricing, your positioning, and your client base if AI starts replacing roles your customers rely on? And what really changes when you experience Dom's coaching in person — not through a screen, not in theory, but live and unfiltered? In this episode, Dom pulls back the curtain on why Teija Heikkilä was the only choice for keynote speaker at IMPACT 2026 — and why her message lands harder now than ever before. Teija isn't talking hypotheticals. She's built, scaled, and sold multiple pet care businesses, and now helps owners do the same through PetVetMa. Her lens is simple, uncomfortable, and powerful: every business owner exits — the only question is how well. You'll hear Dom and Teija in conversation discussing premium pricing, asset value, exit planning, and a topic most people are skirting around: AI and the knock-on effect it will have on jobs, income, and consumer behaviour. Not from a "tech bro" angle — but from a practical, business-owner perspective. If your clients lose income, change jobs, or feel uncertain… what does that mean for your business? And how do you insulate yourself from that now?  Alongside that, Dom shares behind-the-scenes insight from a recent in-person consultation day with Adam Elderfield, PBIC Marketer of the Year. In a single day, they fixed leaks, uncovered hidden money, ruled out entire business directions Adam didn't want — and mapped a clearer, more profitable future. Dom explains why this kind of clarity simply doesn't happen by accident… and why events like IMPACT compress years of trial and error into days. You'll also hear a teaser about the 2026 PBIC Marketer of the Year, what's coming next, and why the people who win in this industry are always the ones willing to get in the room, challenge their thinking, and build businesses designed to last — not just survive. In this episode, you'll discover: Why Teija's Perspective Is Different – Built it. Sold it. Repeated it. And now teaches owners how to do the same. AI, Jobs & the Economy – How shifts outside your business can quietly wreck unprepared ones — and how to stay ahead. Build It to Sell (Even If You Never Do) – Why exit thinking makes your business stronger today, not later. What In-Person Coaching Really Unlocks – Why one focused day beats months of calls and content. Why IMPACT Isn't Just Another Event – Strategy, pressure, perspective, and momentum — live, not theoretical. If you want to understand where the industry is heading — and how to build a business that thrives no matter what changes next — then IMPACT 2026 is where those conversations are happening. If you're tired of being busy, burned out, and underpaid… and you're ready to transform your daycare into a premium, experience-heavy, profit-driven powerhouse… this is the event you've been waiting for.

What if you could transform your daycare into the Disney of your town, the place affluent owners brag about, pay more for, and refuse to leave? What would happen to your business if you mastered experience, enrichment, pricing, systems, and upsells in just two days? And what could next year look like if you finally stopped running a wacky warehouse… and started running a wonderland for dogs? In this week's episode, I come in hot with the announcement I've been dying to make: The Disnify Your Dog Daycare LIVE Impact Success Summit is coming to ORLANDO in 2026. And it's going to be the biggest, boldest, most transformational event I have ever delivered. Before diving into the details, I recap an emotional and breakthrough-filled week inside the UK Elite Mastermind – complete with hotseats, tears, major wins, as well as behavioural psychology insights from guest speaker Mike Samuels, and a stack of 90-day action plans that will fuel major business growth well into the new year. Then, I unveil the full vision behind the 2026 Impact Summit, and how those smart enough to attend will walk away having become experts on premium pricing, systemisation, ascension, upsells, staff culture, enrichment, and showmanship… this is the ultimate masterclass for dog daycare and pet resort owners who want to rise above the competition.  In this episode, you'll discover: •    The Magic of Experience – How to use Disney's "Everything Speaks" principle to make every square foot of your facility sell for you. •    The Business of Enchantment – Why the next generation of premium pet care is EXPERIENCE-led, not operationally led. •    How to Imagineer Your Empire – The exit-ready operations map that makes your business scalable, sellable, and self-running. •    Ascension Secrets – Disney's client journey playbook and how to turn one service into multiple revenue streams. •    Showmanship & Sales Choreography – How to turn your staff into cast members who sell confidently and consistently.

430 | Interview with Matthew Brenner - Mastering Organic Marketing for Martial Arts Schools Podcast Description In this episode, Duane and Allie sit down with Matthew Brenner from Action Karate and Double Your Dojo to discuss organic marketing strategies that actually work for martial arts schools. Matthew shares his proven 3-domino system for getting into schools and daycares, creating programs that administrators love, and converting leads through mass enrollments—without discounts or trials. If you've ever struggled with school programs that don't produce results, this episode is a game-changer. Episode Length: 61 minutesGuest: Matthew Brenner (doubleyourdojo.com) Key Takeaways 1. Organic Marketing Is More Relevant Than Ever After COVID, online marketing became more difficult due to consumer distrust and ad fatigue. People are inundated with ads and ignore most of them. Organic marketing—going directly to schools, daycares, and businesses—creates real connections with high-quality leads who live and work in your area. 2. The 3-Domino System for School Programs Matthew breaks down his proven system into three critical dominoes: Domino #1: Hack Your Way In - Getting rejected once doesn't mean you can't get in—you just used the wrong approach - If the front door doesn't work, try the back door or a side window - Bring a female instructor when possible—it softens the approach - Private schools are typically easier to start with than public schools - Don't give up after one “no”—rejection is often about timing, approach, or the person you spoke with Domino #2: Create a Program Schools Actually Want Stop teaching bully prevention—it often creates more problems for administrators Ask principals and guidance counselors what challenges they're facing Customize 20% of your program based on their specific needs Align with their character themes, mascot values, or monthly focus areas Tell them the catch upfront: “We do this for free because goodwill goes far in the community, and we know some kids will want to train at our school” Always take pictures and collect testimonials—they become assets you can use year after year Domino #3: Master the Mass Enrollment Don't do satellite programs—get kids to come to your school instead Pre-heat your leads so they're ready to enroll when they arrive Aim for 20-40% conversion at your mass enrollment event No trials, no discounted tuition—enroll them at full price on day one Film your enrollments and review the footage to improve 3. Simplify Your Pricing Structure Most martial arts schools have pricing sheets that look more complicated than applying for a mortgage. If you can't explain your pricing to a second-grader, it's too complicated. Stick to 1-3 clear options with no confusing percentages, discounts, or down payments. 4. Answer Objections Before They're Raised If you answer an objection after someone brings it up, you sound defensive. If you answer it before they bring it up, you sound insightful. Examples: - “I'll send you an email explaining how it works, but let me answer any questions you have now.” - “We do this for free because goodwill goes far, and some kids will want to train at our school.” 5. Film Everything and Review Game Footage Professional athletes watch film to improve—martial arts school owners should too. Film your classes, your school visits, and your enrollment presentations. You'll catch things you never noticed: kids spinning in the corner, parents walking in ungreeted, instructors missing corrections, or yourself rambling during a sales pitch. 6. Ask Permission During Sales Presentations Getting parents to physically raise their hands and give you permission before transitioning to the enrollment offer makes them comfortable and engaged. It removes the “icky” feeling from sales and creates a natural flow. 7. High-Quality Leads Are Worth Thousands When you collect 90 leads from a school program, you're getting high-quality contacts from people who live in your area and have already connected with you. If you had to pay for those leads through Facebook ads at $20-$50 each, you'd be spending thousands of dollars. 8. Daycares vs. Schools: Know the Difference Daycares are good for practice and building your system Schools have 10x the number of kids and better conversion rates Only teach kids who are age-eligible for your program—don't waste time on 2-year-olds if you don't teach them 9. Successful People Keep Learning Most of Matthew's clients are already successful—making over $100k/month or running multiple locations. Successful people are always looking for new ways to improve. They invest in coaching, attend events, and stay open to feedback. 10. The Black Belt Business Newsletter Matthew publishes a free 3-minute newsletter three times per week covering how to get new students, keep your students, and build your staff—with no fluff, all strategy. Action Steps for School Owners 1. Start with Private Schools First They typically have fewer restrictions and are easier to get into. Build your confidence and refine your system before tackling public school districts. 2. Research Local Schools' Character Programs Find out if they have a theme of the month, mascot values, or character development focus. Align your program with what they're already teaching. 3. Create Your “Hack Your Way In” Script Practice saying: “We do free programs at local schools where we teach fitness and character development. I'd love to schedule a quick 10-15 minute meeting to see if we can help.” 4. Simplify Your Pricing Review your tuition sheet. If it has more than 3 options or requires a calculator to understand, simplify it immediately. Make it as clear as a gym membership. 5. Film Your Next Class or Enrollment Set up a camera and record yourself teaching or presenting. Watch the footage and take notes on what you did well and what needs improvement. 6. Build Your Permission-Based Sales Framework Practice asking parents for permission before transitioning to your enrollment offer. Example: “Before I explain how our program works, do I have your permission to share how families can get started?” 7. Collect 90+ Leads from Your First Program Set a goal to collect contact information from at least 90 families. These are high-quality leads worth thousands in ad spend. 8. Aim for 20-40% Conversion at Mass Enrollments If you have 30 people attend your graduation/enrollment event, aim to enroll 6-12 families that day at full price with no trials. 9. Take Pictures and Collect Testimonials Every time you visit a school, take photos and ask teachers for testimonials. These become assets you can use when staff changes or when approaching new schools. 10. Subscribe to the Black Belt Business Newsletter Get free, actionable strategies delivered three times per week.

This week I'm chatting to Bonnie Anderson (singer & former Neighbours star) & Sam about life after 2 children, we delve into:

Ontario signed a 1-year renewal contract with Ottawa earlier this week, keeping childcare between $19-$22/day. Instead of a 5-year renewal, Provincial Education Minister Paul Calandra wants the federal government to address Ontario's $2 billion shortfall, or else daily fees for families will increase. Meantime, Ontario's Auditor General said Ontario wasn't meeting it's ECE staffing targets, nor was it building enough spaces to satisfy the 5.9 : 10 ratio requirement set out by Ottawa.Host Maria Kestane speaks to David Macdonald, Senior Economist at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives to discuss their recent report on childcare deserts across the country, and how close Ontario is to lowering the average childcare price to $10/day.
