She has achieved the extraordinary feat of summiting all fourteen of the world's peaks exceeding 8,000 meters, including Annapurna, K2, and Nanga Parbat. Born in Southern California, her passion for climbing was sparked after moving to Colorado, where she immersed herself in the state's renowned 14,000-foot peaks.Her medical career became intertwined with her love for the mountains during her time with the National Park Service on Denali, Alaska, where she provided medical assistance and participated in rescue operations. This experience paved the way for her role as an expedition doctor on major Himalayan peaks such as Manaslu, Everest, Makalu, and Cho Oyu.Dr. Metcalfe is known for sharing insights into overcoming personal challenges and empowering women through mountaineering-based leadership training and community service. Her journey highlights the intersections of medicine, mountaineering, and mentorship, and she has made significant contributions to both the medical field and the climbing communityPlease note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.Connect w/ Tracee:Instagram: www.instagram.com/mountainmd13/Web: https://traceelmetcalfe.com/Mentioned:Cozy Earth: www.cozyearth.com1 Week Real Food, Real Quick Meal Plan: https://nutritional-revolution.com/product/1-week-real-food-real-quick-meal-plan/Dr. Stacy Sims: https://nutritional-revolution.com/podcasts/dr-stacy-sims/David Goggins, "Can't Hurt Me": https://amzn.to/3T3S81BGarmin InReach: https://amzn.to/4k0FsmZGU Chews: https://amzn.to/3HVZLoeSkratch Labs Electrolyte Hydration Powder: https://amzn.to/4kYM3QeCompression Boots: https://amzn.to/43Y6G9eLaughing Cow Cheese: https://amzn.to/4ehVLujMORE NR New customers save 10% off all products on our website with the code NEWPOD10 If you would like to work with our practitioners, click here: https://nutritional-revolution.com/work-with-us/ Save 20% on all supplements at our trusted online source: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/kchannell Join Nutritional Revolution's The Feed Club to get $20 off right away with an additional $20 Feed credit drop every 90 days.: https://thefeed.com/teams/nutritional-revolution If you're interested in sponsoring Nutritional Revolution Podcast, shoot us an email at nutritionalrev@gmail.com.

Send us a textDenali Strabel returns to the Steep Stuff Podcast for a deeply personal conversation about her journey back to the Broken Arrow 46K Skyrace after a five-year hiatus. The Alaskan mountain runner opens up about the transformative path that led her here – through pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and the heartbreaking loss of her twin sister.From the moment she arrived at the race venue, Denali's connection to this special place is palpable. Since 2008, she's been drawn to these mountains, first for college training camps and later with her sister when they craved elevation. Her 2019 race proved she could compete with the best "down in America," finishing fifth and feeling like her career was just beginning to soar. Then came pregnancy and the pandemic, dramatically altering her trajectory.What emerges in this conversation is the portrait of an athlete reborn through challenge. "I wasn't fueling right," she admits about her pre-motherhood approach. The demands of breastfeeding while returning to training forced a revolution in her relationship with food: "I eat a lot and my body is strong." Working with coach David Roche, she's redefined success on her own terms, building back gradually from nerve damage and hormonal challenges through a quality-over-quantity approach.While dreams of making Team USA flicker in her mind (especially poignant given one of her final conversations with her sister), Denali approaches this race with beautiful perspective. Her strategy reflects the wisdom gained through life's obstacles – patience on the first loop, then "catch the carnage, don't be the carnage" on the second. Most movingly, she carries her sister's ashes to spread on the mountain, merging her competitive ambitions with profound personal meaning.Join us for this intimate look at motherhood, grief, comeback, and the enduring spirit that drives mountain runners back to the places that challenge and heal them. Follow Denali and the strong Alaskan contingent as they take on Broken Arrow and demonstrate what's possible when passion meets perspective.Follow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podUse code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com!

#362 In this episode, Guy welcomed back Suraj Holzwarth White Eagle Medicine Woman. They delved into a deep and heartfelt discussion about the current state of the world, a collective awakening, and the collapse of old illusions. Suraj shared insights from her meditative experiences in front of Hawaiian volcanoes and discussed the significant shift of humanity towards a new understanding of self and the divine. They also talked about the Crystal Skull Method (CSM), developed over seven years, which integrates sacred geometry, ancient healing practices, and modern science to activate the pineal gland and promote healing. Suraj explained how CSM sessions can be done in-person or remotely and shared remarkable case studies demonstrating its effectiveness. The podcast underscores the importance of grounding to liquid fire, the role of forgiveness, and the journey of moving from human doing into human being. About Suraj: White Eagle Medicine Woman (Suraj Holzwarth) adventurous life began early, when at the age of 19 she moved to Alaska and became the youngest woman to climb Denali, North America's highest peak. With a deep love for the earth, she spent most of her early years in the wilds, climbing the highest peaks and guiding wilderness expeditions and retreats throughout the world for over twenty five years. In the late 90's she received a vision in dreams with indigenous Grandmothers to create the world's largest healing drum and to travel promoting peace through music. Beginning in 2000 and taking over a year to construct, White Eagle and the multicultural Alaskan community built the seven-foot, crystal inlaid GrandMother Drum.  In 2001, White Eagle and Grandmother Drum were launched on their first of many World Peace Tours inspiring unity, peace and “drumming up” awareness of earth sustainable projects with the theme “ The Heartbeat of One Family, One Earth.  White Eagle is the founding director and Drum Keeper of the GrandMother Drum International Peace Project and the 501c3 non-profit Whirling Rainbow Foundation based in Homer, Alaska. She is internationally known as a shamanic healer, seer, trance-medium, author, speaker, teacher, ceremonial and performance artist of Native American and European ancestry. She has since traveled over a million miles touching a million people in 20 countries with the 7 ft, crystal inlaid, thundering heartbeat of the world's largest drum of its kind, Grandmother Drum, and promoting unity, peace, tribal reconciliation, and earth sustainability. Her award winning CDs include “Journey of the Heart”, “Songlines of the Soul”, “Living Waters of Grace” and “Holy Ground”. She is the author of “The Magic Bundle” children's book, and “Songs of A New Earth” songbook. White Eagle is also the director and co-producer of the award winning documentary film “GrandMother Drum: Awakening the Global Heart”, selected as the Top 20 Spiritual Films at the Tel Aviv Spirit Film Festival. She is the founder and director of the Rainbow Fire Mystery School (RFMS) operating in Alaska, Hawaii and Peru and has led thousands of shamanic workshops, ceremonies and training globally for over 35 years. Starting with the acclaimed "Language of One" and "Heart of One" online spiritual programs, White Eagle has now expanded the RFMS to over a dozen certified online shamanic training programs. She is also the creator, director and lead instructor of the certified shamanic methods of Balancing the Shields© Community Mother DrumKeepers Training© and The Crystal Skull Method©.In 2013, White Eagle launched the Global Blue Flame Planetary Grid ceremony, activating and renewing the earth's grid in a one day ceremony annually with 62 trained groups worldwide.

Inspired by Wicked: For Good, the girls have to make a cohesive Good Witch/Bad Witch look. They also evidently need to be scriptwriters and are pushed to come up with a compelling story for their two witches – and speaking of witches, Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande guest judge this week just in time for the Wicked: For Good trailer (we're doing that now? guest spots to promote trailers? alright….).

I was all prepared to go to Boston to get called a slur by Plane Jane but then it turned out to be an episode of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 10 that was sponsored by the upcoming musical "Wicked: For Good!" This week we begin the Purple Bracket featuring some all time classic queens like Ginger Minj and Acid Betty as they prepare to enter the gauntlet that is the Tournament of Champions! Who will come out on top, who will explain to Steven how Denali's talking head shirt works, and who will be joining our six other semi-finalists in the next bracket?!!?

We are officially Nicole Paige Brooksless this week as Bracket 3 kicks off with a wickedly wonky team-based design challenge and six new queens with big shoes to fill. Of course we also have to hold space for contractually featured guest judges Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. Ginger and Daya defy expectations to take the win while Acid Betty is stuck with a pin, Denali does a pique turn, Cynthia is giving My Cousin Cucu and Alyssa Hunter is gunning for a longer arc this season. Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to bonus episodes including brackets, movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for our recap of Season 5 of Drag Race plus even more movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com  

The National Park System (NPS) is a national treasure. US National Parks represent just about every type of feature and wildlife you can imagine. And it's not just parks: The NPS includes national monuments, memorials, scenic trails, lakeshores, battlefields, recreation areas, and more. The concept of a national park is credited to George Catlin, a 19th-century lawyer, painter, and adventurer. His travels took him all over the burgeoning United States, where he met fifty native tribes. He also worried about the loss of wildlife, wilderness, and indigenous people as America expanded westward into the frontier. His solution? A ‘nation's park' — land protected by the government for future generations. That vision became reality in 1872, when Yellowstone, in what's now Wyoming, became the first national park established by Congress. Now there are 63 National Parks across the US and its territories, from Acadia in Maine to Yosemite in California, Denali in Alaska to Dry Tortugas in Florida, and so many more in between. In this episode, we explore the almost overwhelming awesomeness of the NPS and take a virtual tour of some of the coolest experiences you can have in nature. We learn about the history of hippos and the Everglades, meet the most dangerous animal in the Grand Canyon, and learn the best place to eat popovers in Maine. Then we recommend five books that took us on big adventures in national parks, including a historical novel in Oklahoma, an adventure story in the Pacific Northwest, a murder mystery in Michigan, a memoir in Arizona, and a Bigfoot tale in Washington. Shelterwood by Lisa Wingate Wild: A Journey from Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed A Superior Death by Nevada Barr A Walk in the Park: The True Story of a Spectacular Misadventure in the Grand Canyon by Kevin Fedarko Devolution: A Firsthand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre by Max Brooks For more on the books we recommend, plus the other cool stuff we talk about, visit show notes.

For those that watch the Faqs Project Youtube Channel, I've had a chance to cover the first 3 issues of Dark Pyramid for Mad Cave Studios. The Story centers around the disappearance of a Exploring Social Media Influencer named Hooky Hidalgo whom as he was livestreaming lost connection in the Denali mountain ranges of Alaska until his girlfriend Becca arrives only to find this town in the Foothorn territory where he went missing is tight lipped and want nothing to do with outsiders. Today I get to sit down with both Paul Tobin and PJ Holden about that process in creating this act of conspiracy based on some true events in this section of the world. Paul gives us the means on why he chose to center this story into its particular setting in Alaska. PJ illustrates the setting as another character as the landscape he creates become larger than life. The Construction of the creature they created in Eve, they both didn't think she'd stay long enough but they made this being Multidimensional as a tool to the military operation led by General Cho, whom doesn't seem like a villain but more as someone under strict orders to contain this area. I've had more questions outside of issue 3 than issue 1 where this ride leads from influencer parties to Goats with Human faces. This series is a must read.Written by Paul TobinArtwork by PJ Holden and Sara ColellaLetters by Taylor EspositoSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-faqs-project-hosted-by-james-grandmaster-faqs-boyce/donations

What does it take to push beyond limits—physically, mentally, and financially? Today’s guest proves that the same grit that conquers mountains can also conquer the property game. In this powerful episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin is joined once again by Eddie Tchigique—aka Eddie the Frenchman—an extreme endurance athlete whose upcoming mission is nothing short of monumental: a solo, record-breaking 3,900km run across Australia from Cottesloe Beach in WA to Bondi Beach in NSW. But Eddie’s story is about far more than athletic feats. It’s about building an unbreakable mindset—one forged through discomfort, discipline and sheer determination. Having previously climbed two of the world’s deadliest peaks—Aconcagua in Argentina and Denali in Alaska—Eddie knows what it takes to go the distance, and he’s here to show you how those same principles apply directly to your property investment journey. Together, Bushy and Eddie unpack the endurance mindset—why true, sustainable success (in property or life) comes not from shortcuts, but from consistency, resilience and the willingness to push through when every fibre of your being says quit. If you’re serious about building wealth through property and living by design, this conversation will inspire you to run your own race with unwavering resolve. Support Eddie's mission

Ever wonder how waste management and professional soccer intersect? Andy McNeil, a successful Arkansas entrepreneur who built multi-million dollar environmental service companies, takes us on an unexpected journey through both worlds in this captivating conversation.McNeil's business savvy shines as he explains how he transformed small waste management operations into industry leaders, including Denali—the largest food waste recycler in America with over a billion dollars in invested capital. But it's when the conversation shifts to soccer that his eyes truly light up. From coaching youth teams for 18 years to attending multiple World Cups and once finding himself in Roman Abramovich's owner's box at Chelsea, McNeil's soccer stories reveal why the beautiful game creates such powerful connections.What makes this episode particularly valuable is McNeil's unique perspective on why professional sports—and specifically Ozark United FC—matter for Northwest Arkansas's future. "If we could leap forward 20 years and reflect back on today, what would set up Arkansas to be one of the best states? I think one of those things would be pro sports," he explains. This isn't just about entertainment; it's about economic development, talent attraction, and community identity.The discussion also explores the remarkable investment opportunity soccer represents, with franchise valuations skyrocketing and the sport showing tremendous growth across all metrics in America. McNeil provides fascinating insights into why business fundamentals remain crucial even while building community-focused sports organizations, and why Ozark United FC's mixed-use development approach represents forward-thinking planning for the region.Whether you're a soccer fan, business enthusiast, or simply care about Northwest Arkansas's future, this conversation offers valuable perspective from someone who understands both the boardroom and the beautiful game.

And today I am jazzed. Dana, the one and only Dynamite Dana over there. She's on the podcast with me today. Dana, how are you today?   Dana (00:10) doing pretty good. It's a beautiful day here and so I'm just excited to be on the podcast with you.   Kiera Dent (00:15) Dana, I am so glad because you and I, feel like we're ships in the night. We see each other, we wave to each other. We love working together, but the reality of us like being on the same boat to talk to each other is few and far between, which is so ironic. But every time I see you in person, I'm like, Dana, we need to hang out more. Like, so it's fun to podcast, even though, I mean, it's a funny way to say hello. We're like here to do work, but at least we get to like have more interactions. So, ⁓ thanks for being on my ship today. I guess like welcome, welcome aboard, matey.   Dana (00:44) Yeah,   happy to be here, Gatton.   Kiera Dent (00:48) But today you guys, Dana and I, we were talking about like some burnout and cashflow row. So think about death row. We actually have a lot of clients that come to us. Thankfully, like once they become clients, they get off death row, cashflow row. But we thought about, think oftentimes burnout and cashflow row ⁓ go hand in hand. And so I figured, Dana, let's get into like, how do you get off of cashflow row? like death row,   you're about to go and like die like literally. ⁓ I feel it's becoming a bit more common than I've seen in the past. I'm super grateful and I just want to shout out and for all of you listening, if you're on cashflow row or you're on burnout row, ⁓ just like a huge hug, a huge hug of love, a huge hug of no judgment. Gosh, I get like emotional thinking about it I think it's so easy as a business owner to like just harp on yourself to just feel like   Like, why am I so dumb? Like, why can't I figure this out? Like, the mean girl or boy in your mind is just like vicious and wicked. And it makes me so angry that we're this way to ourselves as business owners. Cause I'm like, you know what? You're freaking strong. And like, you took these risks and like, you don't know what you're doing, but you know, you wanted to like build a great like culture for your team. You wanted to build this amazing life for your family. And yeah, it's hard. It's really hard to be a business owner. And I think I speak of this so candidly because   Like I've been on death row, like cashflow row. I've been on burnout row, like, and you just sit there and when you need to like have the most love and respect for yourself and grace, it's when we like punch ourselves and kick ourselves and yell at ourselves. And so ⁓ I thought it would be a really, ⁓ hopefully timely podcast for some of you listening of just love of no judgment, of encouragement, and maybe some like shining little stars when you need a North star right now, because   It can feel very daunting. And I want to tell you, you don't have to do it alone. ⁓ You telling yourself you're alone and on an island is your choice. And it's a choice that you don't have to stay with. There's so many ways we can help. I think even just like when we get clients that are on cashflow row, I feel like they feel they finally got a life raft sent to them when they didn't know it was even possible. And as consultants, think Dana and I and our whole consulting team are so passionate about getting you into cashflow positive and doing it with ease where it's not that hard. But   Like it wasn't overnight that you got here either. So it's not going to be overnight. get you out of there. We're to move you pretty quickly. Cause I think like, Hey, someone's like holding the lantern for you in this dark cave. Like, all right, here's the way out. can really, really help you. But really Dana, think like just again, I hope all of you listening know we come to you with love, with no judgment. You're not a terrible business owner. You're not dumb. You shouldn't have known this before. It's just, this is where we are kind of like a patient with perio, right? Like it's okay. Like this is where we are. And the great news is   There are solutions and there's a way out and there's a way to happiness again if you want. So Dana, that's kind of my like emotional pitch to start this off with. Any thoughts you have? Because I think you've seen quite a few come to you on Cash Flow Row from day one.   Dana (03:49) This is.   Yeah, yeah. And I love just your vulnerability there, Kiera, as a business owner, because I say it to doctors all the time, like, whether it's a dental office, whether it's a consulting company, whatever business it is, it doesn't come with an instruction manual. And so we get in there with the best of intentions, we're ready to work hard, we put everything you have into it. And there are ebbs and flows in business. And sometimes it gets really, really hard. And you're right, it is the self talk that   that you have to take a look at and the blame that you put on yourself for being the reason why you got there. And you know what, it's okay, we're gonna figure it out ⁓ and we're gonna stop the bleeding and we're gonna start focusing on the things that are going to matter and are going to move it forward. And you know what, as a coach, I get the pleasure of cheering you along the way and sometimes kicking your booty when it's needed. And ⁓ it is, we are seeing it more and more and I think   it comes down to two, like knowing what cash you need, knowing what you're spending your cash on, and sometimes making some hard decisions based on that too.   Kiera Dent (05:05) Mm-hmm. Yeah, and I think with that it's like awesome. Here we go Here's the blood like we're going to help you get out of that and I love that you said there's no instruction manual just like being a parent There's no instruction manual and so there are just different ways to do it So my big thing and in Dental A team, always like we are profitable We call it the yes model so you can say yes to everything you want in life and the Y stands for you as a person We're gonna focus on E stands for earnings and profitability   and S stands for systems and team development. So like those three things together are going to give you success with ease. So today, if you're on cashflow row or burnout row, I think oftentimes burnout comes because of cashflow. Like it is the scary piece to it. So with that, let's talk about like, what can we do if we're in cashflow row? What are some of the fastest things that will help people get out of cashflow? Dana, I'll let you take this. We're going to just kind of riff back and forth. Like you guys, this is unscripted. This is just from our knowledge of things that we do.   of like when we see offices and again this is coming from real life offices things we've actually done to get them off of cashflow row. Dana let's just riff because you've got a few that have just come and you've got a few that have been there and ⁓ they're doing well.   Dana (06:12) Yeah, yeah, yeah,   I think it is. It's a reviewing of expenses. Is there anything we can cut that we're not cutting ourselves too lean though that we can't continue to grow? And then also, what do need to produce and produce it consistently?   Kiera Dent (06:27) Yeah, I love that. So it's like we either need to increase our production or we need to decrease our expenses. And on the production, I will also say we need to make sure we're collecting. It's wild to me. I was talking to a doctor who's on quote unquote cashflow row and they said, Kiera, I have like $300,000 sitting in AR. And I was like, so you're really not on cashflow row. You've got the money. You just haven't collected it. So realizing that usually in dentistry, there's quite a few cashflow opportunities very quickly.   But I agree with you, Dana. Like step one is like, let's get our PNL and let's know our numbers. Is there anything on there? Like, and I'm talking like, you don't like, gosh, people get wild and they start cutting things that actually you need. Like I know your hygienists are expensive, but they also produce for you. I know billers can feel annoying, but they also collect money for you. I know your treatment coordinator can feel expensive, but they're putting money on your books. I know a consultant can feel like I'm going to cut. can do this on my own, but they're literally the only person holding you accountable and pushing you through and guiding you.   So it's one of those things of like, let's look to see like, what really is stuff to cut? And I'm talking like subscriptions that you're no longer using. This is one that it makes me wild. I don't understand this. It makes no sense to me. But when people are in cashflow row and the only thing I can come up with Dana is it's ego. That's all I can figure out. So I'm just saying to you like, Hey, I hear you. see you. Let's cut the ego and get you into cashflow positive. And then like rock on, do whatever you want from there is like holding onto equipment that you're not using. It's weird to me. Like,   Okay, so we're not like, we thought we were gonna do all these scans of the Itero. And if I look at the last six months, we literally have like taken three scans. Or I bought the CBCT, because I thought was gonna do all these implants, and I'm not doing implants. Or I have like multiple Iteros, but like we've cut back and we've scaled back like, so I only need one Itero instead of three Iteros. those are big expenses on your debt and your loan. Like, let's sell those, let's get rid of them. people, I don't know, it's like embarrassment or ego or like,   Maybe you're still like wishing for the good old glory day. I don't know what it is, but I'm like, get rid of that. Cut the cost. Like think in your own life. If you had a car that you had a car payment on, even though it's the nicest car and it's your dream car, but you can't afford food, you're going to get rid of that car. You're going to sell it and you're going to buy something more economical and affordable. Like let's just get rid of it. No one, no one cares. Like honestly, none of your colleagues know that you're selling the equipment off because you're freaking broke right now.   That's just you and it's okay. it truly like what can you get rid of? there equipment you're no longer using that you could sell that you could pawn off just to get you some cash flow quickly and cut some of that debt services? Like is there any debt service that we can get rid of for you? That's a question like but I think it's a very easy cut on the PNL. Dana thoughts on that.   Dana (09:02) Yeah, I agree with you. then and again, I can't, I can't really decipher where it comes from. But I do you do see offices wanting to hold on to those things. And maybe it is like, well, we'll turn it around, and then I'll use it. Great, then we can get another one down the line. Right. But right now, what the immediate relief from dispensing of it will far outweigh hanging on to it until down the road, maybe we'll need it again.   Kiera Dent (09:27) Exactly. Like it's okay. Like don't don't even stress about it. We're not we're not here for we're not here for that ego. So I think when we're looking at the PNL, let's look to see like go back to COVID days. If you were a business owner during COVID, I remember we scrubbed that PNL like, could we call the lenders? Could we put this on pause? Could we like get rid of this loan? Like those things I think are really important because that actually can free you up exponentially being buried in debt. I remember my husband when we were paying off his loans. Holy moly, he could not see outside of that debt for one second.   We can't get rid of our practice loan, but you could renegotiate your rent, like your lease. Those are things that you can do. I remember during COVID, people got very scrappy and I'm like, don't forget that scrap you just learned a few years ago. Like take those lessons and go through them. that's step one of, but be careful. Like Dana said, please don't cut things that are going, let's not cut the hygienist right away. Like I'm looking at what are the things that are nice to have, but not necessary to have. Let's cut those things.   ⁓ well, I put consulting in a must have. think if they're a great consultant and they're holding you accountable and they're moving you forward, yeah, you better believe it's one of the best dollars you'll ever spend. Now, if you are not, ⁓ if they're not moving you forward, if they're just having like rando conversations with you, probably a good thing to move on. But again, you also should go to your consultant. They work for you and say, I am in cashflow row, which hopefully if they're a good consultant, they would know that. And it's like, we have to make this happen. Now there's no other options.   So after we do that, next step is let's look at our AR. Doctors, if you don't know how to run your AR, that's your aging report. Let's just go see how much money is sitting out in our AR. And let's see if it's patient portion that we could collect or if it's insurance and also why and how much is in our 30, 60, 90 and over 90 buckets. Because that over 90, like this sounds awkward, but doctors like truly you can call patients and you can collect. We can send text messages. I know that feels awkward. I know that doesn't feel like what you want to do.   But these are ways like there is cash there. Also, like, let's look at the protocol of how are we getting there? Are we not collecting when they get into the practice? We can start collecting when they come in. I was in an office yesterday and they're like, gosh, our accounts are all funky. And I was like, sweet. As soon as they walk in, let's collect the money before they even go to the back. They're like, but that's different. We've never done that. And I'm like, think about a hospital. You do that. Like you show up, you pay the money and then you go back, like switch it. It's not weird. People don't think it's weird.   It's very normal. So like, let's collect the money. Let's put some systems into place. So we stop getting into an AR crunch. And really making sure that that is something that we are very proactive on. Do you know other thoughts on AR? AR to me, think is just like this like, I don't know. It's like an endless pit. And I think I have it because when I first started the business, I had this endless pit of AR and I didn't even know it existed. And I'm like, oh, no wonder I'm broke. It's just because we're not collecting the money. And then I was like,   Sweet, let's change the system. That's a system you should put into place. But what are some other thoughts or systems you have around AR to help people get this cash?   Dana (12:16) You   Yeah, I think AR it's it's kind of like culture. It's like a thing that you have to stay super super consistent on and work on all the time and I see it so oftentimes in practice. It's like well I pull it once a month and you know, like I that's when I work on it and I'm like no it's something that you have to set purposeful time aside. So whoever's responsibility it is making sure that every single week they have a chunk of time that can be dedicated solely to working on AR because it is also it can so   quickly grow when we haven't been paying attention to it. And so it's, I'd say, dedicated time for it and then find a cadence that works for you. Whether it's alternating patient and then insurance and then patient follow-up again and then more insurance follow-up, figure out however you can keep it super consistent and make sure you've got dedicated time every single week because it will quickly grow if we're not paying attention to it.   Kiera Dent (12:54) Yes.   Yeah, it's a wild zone that I'm like, okay, ⁓ it's so crazy how fast it will grow on you. so it's, and just so you know how insurance works, if you don't understand this, I'm here to like give you a quick like, all right, this is how the snapshot works. So what it is, is you actually have it where like,   These insurance claims don't fall in like, okay, it's the 30th of the month. So now we go and that's when our 30 days fall into 60 days. Every day, money is moving from the 30 to 60, 60 to 90, 90, because it's based on when that claim sent. So you have to realize this money kind of like interest is how I feel of AR. It's constantly moving on you. So you can call it winning Wednesday, you can call it like taking cash on Tuesday, Thursday, but like literally have days set up for your biller and   This is a position and this is a job responsibility that I am very sticky on. They have to do it. I don't care if we're busy. don't care if patients are calling like, dang, I'm so busy. I had a patient, I can't pay your paycheck. Like that's the reality. They have to collect money. I do not care. Those are non-negotiables for me. It's two hours, Tuesday and Thursday, non-negotiables period. The house will not burn down. The practice will not burn down. Get your dang money because oftentimes that's all it is. And it's just being consistent. So billers,   Doctors, if you need to send this to your bill, like, Hey, we're on cashflow row billers. I'm talking to you. You have a responsibility to your doctor and to this office. They have produced. You need to collect this money. So get the good insurance verification, get the statements, call the insurance companies, figure out why our claims aren't getting paid. That's your job, honey. That's your job. And yes, your responsibility. Like if you want a paycheck, collect the money because that's where your paycheck's coming from. And so   and it's nothing wrong. We're not doing anything wrong. We've done the work. We did great work. Let's collect the money and make sure that we don't get this out of control. It like breaks my heart when doctors have no money and it's because team members, we let our doctors down. They did the work and honestly, team members, it breaks my heart and I'm here to say like, tis tis, shame on you. Be better than that. You are better than that. Collect the money and if you need help, tell your doctor like, hey, hire the dental team. Like we have literally brought in hundreds of thousands of dollars.   just by helping some billers because honestly, doctors, like I say, tisks on the team, which truly it is our fault, but they might not know how to do it or how to do it effectively. There's a lot of ways where we can chunk it. We can break it down. We can make it so much faster and easier for them. We can help them get rid of some of the bad debt. It's running reports differently. It's tagging things differently so they can work it. It becomes so much easier. So again, like if you're billing is a struggle, great opportunity for you to get some help and billers, please don't be afraid to ask for that help too. So.   I say that with a giant hug as well. I know it was like a stern hug, but really you've got to collect that money. So we've got cut your expenses. Look at that. Like debt services. What on earth? Just get rid of the debt. Get rid of anything you can. Next is going to be that we're collecting the money in the AR. Let's figure out how much we have there. And then next is going to be producing. Now I will go on a rant again, clearly cash and burnout. Like let's just not get there. Like I hate this. Let's get you out of there fast. ⁓   I really hate when doctors come on to calls with me and they're like, yeah, I I produced a million last year. And I'm like, that's awesome. And they're like, yeah, but we had to write off 50%. So we were only produced like 500,000. And I'm like, why did you tell me a million that only served you like high five, but you did not produce a million. I don't care that that's your office fee that feeds your ego only, but it's not real. And what you're doing is you're actually hurting yourself because you're, you're elusive to the fact that you're not producing a million, but you think you are.   but you're living on 500 bucks, it'd be like, or 500,000. It's like, oh, Dana, I make a million a year, but I only have like 90,000. Well, why are you telling me you have a million? You don't actually, like that's not even real money. That's monopoly money. I'm so glad we gave you some paper money. Like I get it, but you're in insurance. So like, let's live on real numbers so you can produce real numbers. Cause this is often where cashflow happens because you're like, well, we're making a million.   No, you're not. You're making 500,000. So either get out of network, which I strongly would not recommend, but do a block schedule, figure out how to produce, make sure you're diagnosing. And also when I hear about these cashflow row offices, normally, and doctors, I'm not a dentist, so I'm not here to tell you how to do it. I'm just here to say, whatever number you want and need to produce, you need to be diagnosing three times that amount. That's a statistic that's proven. You've got to be diagnosing enough to get that money on your schedule.   And the next piece is treatment coordinators and doctors. We've got to make sure we're closing that treatment and getting it on the books and doing quadrant dentistry, not just solo tooth. If we're watching, what are we watching for? If you're a watcher, you're scared to diagnose, just diagnose one more thing that you would normally watch. Just put it on the books. That's going to help you. But the reality is you, you truly have a moral obligation to diagnose your patients, ⁓ to tell them what needs to happen and to not judge them based on what you think their bank account is. Your job is to be a comprehensive dentist.   All right, Dana, I'm off my soapbox. You should take it away from me now. What are your thoughts on that?   Dana (18:17) Thank   I love that and I do say yeah exactly we want to look at net numbers and if you're not happy with your adjustments then there are you know ways to tackle that through fee negotiations through you know looking at your numbers to see is it worth   changing some network status with one insurance company or making a little bit of a shift or do we just need to start, like you said, being strategic and block scheduling and maybe even one more step of, hey, yeah, we can block schedule and we've got to watch our insurance mix within our block schedule. All of those things are avenues. just kind of, you have to take a look at.   Kiera Dent (18:50) Mm-hmm.   Dana (18:55) the numbers and build it to be efficient, successful, get you to your goal and to also not cause burnout. I get so much pushback on block scheduling because it's like, well, my team knows how to schedule. Absolutely, right? But like, can I get you to goal with two, three crowns and a quadrant worth of fillings? Yes. Can I also get you to goal with 32, one surface fillings? Sure can. Those days feel super different.   Right? That's a lot of turnover, a lot of check in and check out and insurance verification and all of those things. And so when we build it more strategically, dang, those days feel really, really different to   Kiera Dent (19:23) They do.   And I say this often, I'll say it again, if we have a bad schedule, that was our fault. Like I know you're like, well, patients, can like, they just want to go here. And I'm like, no, you led them there. You guide them. Doctors, are like, you are a clinician. You are an amazing doctor. We get to pick our schedule. And so like Dana said, let's build this. Let's make this incredible for us. But I think those are hopefully three quick ways for you to figure out your cashflow. If you're on cashflow row.   ⁓ And please, the last thing I would say is bonus tip for you is cut the excuses. I think when people are on cashflow road, they like to sit here and excuse land. They like to sit here and blame land, which is normal. It's normal to be frustrated. It's normal to say, like it was this, it was that. was like, well, we can't hire people. Stop, stop. You're continuing this in a reality where it's like, it's just not true. I know it feels that way.   but we've got to stop the excuses. We've got to stop the blame and we've got to just say like, this is where we are. And the good news is this is what we're going to do to get out of it. It's hard. Like that takes mental discipline that you've got to have. But that's also where I think like a coach, a cheerleader, someone who's an ally with you. Like Dana said, sometimes it's a hug and sometimes it's a good like push because you need to be pushed. But hopefully these are a few things because I believe that the mental stress of cashflow row.   will create more burnout faster than anything else because you just sit here stressed out of your mind. So Dana, I hope you guys all like listen. I hope you take it. And if you are in cashflow row or you're on burnout row, please like reach out. We will do like a complimentary practice growth call with you. Like, let's see where your gaps are. Let's help you out. Let's get you out of this wildness because success with ease is very possible. And that's what I think Dana and Denali team in our.   whole company is passionate about is getting you the yes model, you as a human being so happy and fulfilled and having the life you want, getting the earnings and profit that you deserve that you are worthy of that you can totally have and getting the systems and team development to support those those top two things, just be able to say yes to whatever you want. So Dana, gosh, thanks for getting in this one. This is a solid and I just appreciate you loving our clients and getting them off of cashflow row and and into the happier land and for being on the podcast today.   Dana (21:49) Yeah, thank you so much for having me. And you know, I just love being able to see clients like win when they came in feeling so burnt out. So it just fills me too. So appreciate it.   Kiera Dent (22:00) ⁓   I love it. Let's get you guys the W's. Let's get you those wins when you didn't think it was possible I think that's my favorite thing is turning the impossible into possible and helping you take dreams into reality So reach out hello at the Dental A team calm and as always thanks for listening We'll catch you next time on the Dental A team podcast  

How should climbers prepare financially for the significant costs of climbing Everest? Steven Pivnik, an ambitious mountaineer currently on an expedition with Alpenglow Expeditions, is striving to summit Mount Everest, aiming to join the elite "8000 meter club." Having conquered Kilimanjaro and faced the challenges of Denali, Pivnik brings a wealth of experience to his Everest endeavor, underscoring the importance of meticulous preparation and acclimatization, facilitated by tools like hypoxico tents. His perspective on the ascent highlights the dual priorities of safety and summit success, favoring the north side of Everest for its relative safety from avalanches and rockfall. With a focus on returning alive and reaching at least 8,000 meters, Pivnik's journey is a testament to the lessons learned from past expeditions, where physical readiness and the role of failure contribute to eventual success. Key Takeaways Proper acclimatization to high altitudes is crucial for climbers to prevent oxygen deprivation. Hypoxico tents are innovative tools that mimic high-altitude conditions to help climbers build red blood cells. The south route through Nepal to climb Mount Everest is risky due to obstacles like the Kumbu Icefall and Hillary Step. Monitoring pulse ox, fitness levels, and health indicators is crucial for safety and predicting summit success. Planning and timing the summit attempt on Everest involves starting the ascent in the dark to avoid bad weather. Physical preparation, including legwork, core strength, and endurance, is essential for climbing high mountains like Denali.   More from Steven Pivnik Steven Pivnik is a tenacious and dynamic entrepreneur, bestselling author, and in-demand keynote speaker whose journey from Eastern European immigrant to successful tech founder and endurance athlete has inspired countless others. As the former CEO and co-founder of Binary Tree, he scaled the IT company to over 200 employees across twelve countries, landing multimillion-dollar licensing deals with IBM and Microsoft before orchestrating a successful acquisition by Quest Software. Under his leadership, Binary Tree was named to the Inc. 500 and Inc. 5000 lists of fastest-growing companies for seven consecutive years—thanks in part to its thriving culture of low turnover and high client satisfaction. Away from the boardroom, Steven is equally relentless. He has competed in over a dozen full-distance IRONMAN® triathlons—including the prestigious World Championship in Kona—along with ultra-marathons and high-altitude mountaineering adventures, summiting peaks like Kilimanjaro and Aconcagua. His book Built to Finish weaves together lessons from endurance sports and entrepreneurship, revealing how grit, stamina, and vision fuel long-term success.

Welcome to Jake's Happy Nostalgia Show, the podcast where nostalgia comes alive!In this episode, we're joined by the dynamic Canadian composing duo Steve D'Angelo and Terry Tompkins, the musical minds behind some of the most beloved children's shows of the past few decades. If you grew up watching PBS Kids, chances are you've heard their unforgettable work! From Peep and the Big Wide World to Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman, Design Squad, WordGirl and Super Why!, Steve and Terry have helped shape the sound of educational entertainment for a generation. They've also left their musical mark on iconic series like Zoom (remake), Arthur, Molly of Denali, Astroblast!, and even Thomas & Friends. In our conversation, we dive into their creative process, the unique challenges of composing for children's television, and how they balance fun, emotion, and education through music. We also chat about Steve's work in feature films and documentaries, and Terry's role as a founding member of the folk rock band Lost & Profound.

This is the conclusion of our two part conversation with Tariq Khan on his book The Republic Shall Be Kept Clean: How Settler Colonial Violence Shaped Antileft Repression. In part one of the conversation we laid out many of the general dynamics between anti-indigenous settler colonial violence in the 19th Century and the development of the earliest iterations of anticommunism in the so-called United States, long before McCarthyism or even what's recognized by historians as the first Red Scare. In this conversation we talk about some of the legal precedents that the Trump administration has dusted off for some of his attempts to remove or exclude people for political views.  Because we recorded this conversation in December before Trump took office for his second term, we did not directly address several of his actions that draw from this history. The renaming of Denali as Mt. McKinley, drawing directly on laws used to deport anarchists to go after immigrants for their political views, and continuing the genocidal legacy of this settler colonial empire in fueling the genocide in Gaza. In addition to McKinley who was assassinated by an anarchist motivated in part by the US's war in the Philippines, we talk about contrasting figures like Teddy Roosevelt, John Hay, and Albert and Lucy Parsons and the influence that the later half of the 19th century, and 1877 in particular, had on their political trajectories. In addition we talk about the history of lynching and sexual violence and the relationship this practice had to disciplining anarchists alongside its roles for white society and as a repression mechanism against solidarity across racial lines.  Dr. Tariq Khan is a historian with an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the intertwined forces underlying and shaping our social, political, economic, and cultural institutions. He has wide-ranging research, writing, and teaching experience in the fields of global capitalism, transnational studies, U.S. history, psychology, sociology, ethnicity & race studies, gender studies, colonialism & postcolonialism, labor & working-class history, radical social movements, history “from below,” public history, and community-based research and teaching.

On today's Midday Report with host Terry Haines:A Sterling woman recently placed first in a duathlon in Hawaii. The next season of the PBS KIDS show “Molly of Denali” will be the last for the foreseeable future. And an exhibit on Native boarding schools will officially open at the Alaska Native Heritage Center.

In this newscast: The federal government may soon return a traditional subsistence site connected to Douglas Island to its original tribal owners; The next season of the PBS KIDS show “Molly of Denali” will be the last for the foreseeable future. The team behind the award-winning children's TV show will stop working on new content. Molly of Denali is widely celebrated in Alaska because it features an Alaska Native lead character and showcases Alaska Native culture; The Alaska Department of Education and Early Development is considering whether to reduce the amount of money local governments can give to school districts. A new bill in front of state lawmakers would allow local governments to continue to fund school districts as they have been; State prosecutors say two Anchorage police officers were legally justified in the fatal shooting of a man in February who police say had barricaded himself in a Midtown hotel and threatened a woman and her four children.

Cassidy Randall is a journalist and author whose work explores the intersections of adventure, history, and the natural world. Her new book, “Thirty Below: The Harrowing and Heroic Story of the First All-Women's Ascent of Denali,” tells the gripping true story of six women who, in 1970, became the first all-female team to summit North America's tallest mountain. It's a meticulously researched, beautifully written account that brings long-overlooked voices to the forefront of mountaineering history. As someone with a deep personal interest in Denali, I was especially excited to read this book and speak with Cassidy. In our conversation, we talk not only about the origins of “Thirty Below” and the individual women at the heart of the story, but also about Cassidy's career as a journalist— how she got started, the path she's carved through the world of longform storytelling, and how she approaches writing with such clarity, depth, and purpose. She also shares insights into her research process, the challenge of shaping complex narratives, and the broader importance of telling stories that have too often been overlooked or dismissed. Whether or not you've ever set foot on a glacier, Thirty Below offers a deep dive into universal themes— resilience, purpose, and the human desire to explore. It's a story about ambition and endurance, but also about complexity, contradiction, and the ways women have long carved space for themselves in places that often excluded them. Cassidy brings these histories to life with nuance and empathy, honoring the individuality of each woman while raising timeless questions about legacy, belonging, and what drives us to push beyond our limits.  Thanks to Cassidy for writing the book and for taking the time to chat.

Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent (00:01) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera and I am so excited to have you on the podcast today. I hope today is just an incredible day for you. And I hope you remember you are in the greatest industry possible. And today I'm really excited because I feel like there's some opportunities to discuss and challenges that I think offices are gonna be facing in the next five to 10 years. I wanted to pop on and just say like, hey, dentistry is changing fast. And my question is, are you and your practice gonna be ready to seize the opportunity or?   Honestly, are you going to be struggling and hanging out in the back? I think that there will be a lot of shifts. I think we've seen a lot of shifts in dentistry. And so really just popping on to help you look for different things for technology, patient experience, different things within the practice, and really be able to help you guys prepare and get your practice there. Do you guys know Dental A Team? We are here to serve. We are here to help you and your practice have the best experience. I truly do believe that running a dental practice that's profitable and successful does not need to be hard. It does not have to be crazy.   and it can actually be fun and we can get doctors and team members aligned to be able to work in tandem together. And so that's why we're here today. I'm super excited because honestly, staying ahead of these trends is going to help you have long-term practice success. I've really been watching in the offices that we consult, the ones that are adapting and early adapters to technology, I think are going to be in the forefront. And so really just looking at where you are in the life cycle of your practice, looking to see where you want to be in the next five to 10 years.   and not making decisions to sell or to go to a DSO or to stay in a legacy practice out of necessity, but actually out of choice. So number one, I think that AI is coming in. AI is coming in pretty popular. There's a lot of different things. So we're having it in diagnostics. So like Pearl and Overjet, they're able to help co-diagnose with you. There's 3D printing that's coming in. I know offices are using AI and creating bots. We have an office.   where they've created an actual 24 hour a day bot for their practice. And I really think right now is a time for you to be learning. So whether it's 3D printing within your practice, automating our patient communication, looking into AI like this practice where they have a bot, using chat GPT for other things, utilizing AI, think helping practices with case acceptance. We've talked with Pearl, I've had Pearl on the podcast before, but what's crazy cool about that is offices are utilizing it.   actually you're seeing like a 30 to 50 % increase in case acceptance just by using this AI assisted technology. And I prefer Pearl over Overjet. Honestly, I think that there's no wrong choice on it. But the reality is like, I think you've got to get these things in motion. You've got to start looking for them. Otherwise, I really am concerned for you as a practice that you will accidentally become outdated. So really making sure that you are, you're working through this, that you are adding these things in because I think   AI is going to rapidly take off. And if you're not prepared, I think you will be outdated. So that's opportunity number one. So I'd say get involved in some sort of AI, whatever it is, even if you just start dabbling in chat GPT every single day, whatever it is, but really starting to utilize that. Opportunity number two. Now these are the opportunities that I see in the next five to 10 years. I think they're hitting this now. But number two is going to be like looking at membership plans, fee-per-service.   looking at some of those things. Now I'm not here to say drop insurance plans. I've actually been, think a consultant who's been pretty adamant about hanging onto insurance plans for as long as you can, pending upon what you want to do for marketing. If you're an incredible marketer, rock on, you might not need it. But insurance is just going to be something where I feel over time, it's going to get a little bit funkier. I don't think you're going to see a huge increase in insurance funds. I could be totally off on this. I'm not stamping my like everything that I am, but I think like, let's pay attention to it and let's see.   costs are rising in dentistry, but insurance plans are not paying a lot. And so could we start to shift our patient base? Could we start to retain our patients and actually build this fee for service model in? Now you've got to be super careful and I'm going to put like huge asterisks and exclamation points and pieces around it because if you do not transition out of insurances correctly and have a plan and a process and a patient experience in place, you will get like, I've seen it be so bad for practices. So really I think like,   One, if you don't have an in-house membership plan, let's get that started. I'm very pro these. It allows you to have options in the future. It allows you to have different marketing strategies. I think a lot of people are just looking at benefits at a different way now. And I think it just helps you to not be as dependent upon insurance in the future. Then number two is assess your insurance plans. And let's see, are there maybe any insurance plans that we could drop that aren't really going to hurt your production? You really got to do this strategically. Otherwise it will burn you in the booty.   and I do not want you to be at that practice. I've had too many of those offices, so let's make sure you're not there. And then make sure that we're like really getting people sticky to our practice. I think this will be a really, really, really big change for people. And then also it's something where even as fee for service patients, if you can get them on membership plans, I can speak for myself. Being on a membership plan, I actually came in for my two cleanings as opposed to a fee for service patient who often will only come in one time.   So I think it's just another way for you to have more patient flow, more opportunities to diagnose by having that membership plan. I have a practice where they were, this is me as a patient, I was going to them and they had a membership program. The doctor left, branched off, opened up their own practice and they don't have a membership program. And I was like, well, sweet, maybe I'll just go to you once a year. This is as a consultant. I know I need to go in twice a year. I know I have amazing teeth, but I don't need to go twice a year. Like honestly, if I only go once a year, my teeth are probably fine.   but if they had put me on a membership plan, there are other opportunities. For example, you could offer me a night guard, you could do whitening on me, you could do fluoride treatments on me, but because they're not putting into place a membership plan, odds are I probably won't be going back. So look to see how can we actually get our patients to be retained in our practice, not dependent upon insurance. So when we start to trickle that down, we start to convert more and more of our patient base. And what I will say is a lot of practices have transitioned say,   30 % of their patient base over to a membership plan. They start practicing on this, they start getting used to it. So when they want to drop insurance plans, they have a solution that's been really ingrained into their practice. The team's really good. I'm obsessed with companies like Dental Menu. I think that they do a great job for membership programs. I think that they've got a great one built. BoomCloud Clear. So you can just take a look to see who you like the most for it. And then I'm really obsessed with Moola. Moola, I think is a great credit card processor for you.   that actually helps you with your membership programs in-house so you can actually save on your credit card fees. I'm really pro them. Any of these companies that I'm recommending today, be sure to tell them, Denali team, you heard it on the podcast because they actually have a referral pricing for you. So that's what I negotiate. We don't do hardly any affiliates within our company. I just negotiate the lowest fees for you. but really I think looking to see, I think it's an opportunity for you with insurance plans and the economy to start adding in a membership.   Opportunity number three for you is looking into, tell the dentistry I don't think like hot, hot, but I do think virtual consult and online payments. So how can we make things easier for people? So can we get a virtual consultation? Can we start to have, I know there's like, we've had other people on our podcast before where they do virtual, like your smile, what is it? Your virtual smile consult. And what you can do is you can actually do treatment planning. You can have new patients meet you.   You can have videos on your website where it's like, hey, I'm the doctor. They can actually ask questions to the doctor. I have seen a lot of this with bigger cases come into pretty strong effect. Also, if you're wanting to do say consultations where maybe we're doing bigger treatment plans or even like full mouth cosmetic, there's a lot of those that I think are out there to help virtually. I have a doctor and they do a lot of what's called hybrid. So all on X cases and there's a software they can literally use and show the patient their new smile sitting in the chair.   So I think whether you're having patients virtually meet you or if you're using that technology within the chair to help present your cases better, having online options, so online scheduling, online payments, those types of things I really think we need to get more into the virtual world. I think dentistry is a smidgey dated. So I would strongly recommend for you on this to see how can you actually add these pieces into your practice because I do think these are going to like enhance you and just be something patients are expecting. Right now patients are expecting online.   patient scheduling, they're looking for online payments. They're looking for, mean, think about it. If I want to have a consult, my husband and I, we've done IVF. I've talked about it a couple of times on the podcast. I did a virtual consultation with my IVF doctor in another state and we went and we went, now, if you know IVF, IVF's around a 20 to $25,000 process per cycle. And so thinking about that in comparison to dentistry, they literally did virtual consults with me so I could be out of state, I could fly in.   I didn't have to actually be there. And so looking to see, that's what modern medicine is doing. What things could we actually do in dentistry that might be able to help us out as well? So I really think looking for that, that's where I mentioned Moolah, they're great for online, your smile, your virtual, gosh, I'm like botching it. I think it's your smile virtual consult, virtual smile consult. Look it up, that one I'm not as strong on. But just see how can we incorporate some of these items within our practice.   And I would really say that when you do this, you're able to get those high case acceptance. You're able to have more patient acceptance. Think about it. We're paying bills online at night. We are also scheduling appointments. I am constantly on my phone in the middle of the day, at night, on the weekends, moving appointments around, looking to see. And I think if we're not offering that for our patients, we're actually gonna get left behind because patients might accidentally leave you to go to a practice that's actually more up to date. So definitely.   Let's get into how can we become more virtual online. I think it's a huge, huge, huge opportunity for practices. Like I said, I think those are the top three opportunities right now. So we've got AI, membership programs, and then getting more virtual. So virtual consults, virtual like having more available online options. And then I think two of the big challenges in the next five to 10 years, which I think we're seeing it, which I think tie into the opportunities are,   We know it's expensive to run a dental practice. And I think dentistry has had this like nice run for quite a few years, decades where they've been able to stay in a very profitable margin. Hence why DSOs have entered the playing field. And so I think with inflation, higher payroll, supply costs, I think that there's some things in there to pay attention. And number one is you've got to know your number. So I'm really pro overhead calculators, looking at it, having your team involved with you, making sure that all of you are on the same page.   Those are gonna be some really good ways for you guys to stay on top of it, not falling out behind the scenes and figuring it out. Then utilizing buying group things. So for example, Synergy is a great buying group. You buy from your own preferred vendor, but you just get a discount on your supplies. Why not do things like that? How can we actually look to see, can we hire hygienists in and then have a base plus commission? and I were on the podcast.   a couple of weeks ago talking about how we can incentivize hygienists and not have to have as high of payroll, but really looking to see what are the ways that we can do this, looking to see how we can increase our fees, doing a 5 % fee increase, negotiating with insurances or possibly dropping some of those lower paying ones. What are some of these pieces? And what I will say is When you watch your numbers and you analyze your overhead, I promise you, you will be more profitable. So right now we're like, gosh, it's so expensive, which I'm not here to say it's not.   But there's offices out there that are running at a 35% overhead. So that means there's 65% profit margin for them. So looking at that and knowing that there's practices that are able to do that, that means once we know it's possible, then we can look for how you can do it in your practice as well. Now I understand that there's different areas. California is expensive. Hawaii is expensive. Like I hear you, but that doesn't mean that it's impossible. And I think being a wise steward over your numbers is actually something that I really would implore you to do.   to make sure that as costs rise, you know what you're actually spending money on. So you can actually make better decisions. look to see, can we hire this person? Are we paying within the realm? What do we need to do? Could we add on other services within our practice? all on X cases, ortho cases, things like that. But I really think like it's a huge challenge that I think you've got to stay on top of. Otherwise, before you know it, you're gonna just be like inundated and not be able to hire team members because we weren't watching it. We didn't know our numbers. We didn't know what we needed to be producing.   We didn't build block schedules to make sure that our practice could actually run lean and efficiently. And then challenge two, which I think has been hitting hard, which we'll just kind of address, is like staffing shortages and team retention. But I will say that this is like an if. Like there's so many offices out there that I know have incredible cultures. And so what I really feel like needs to happen in this realm is you've got to be an office that in a place that people want to work for. I started noticing that the new currency is time.   Time is the new currency, I think, in where we're at right now. Time and compensation and being happy. But I don't think it's as high on compensation as people think it is. Yes, it's a piece, but I see team members that are getting paid less, but for great cultures are saying because they want this work-life balance. They want more time. They want to be able to be with their kids. They want to be able to feel appreciated with their boss. They want to feel like they're doing a great job. And that is more the currency of today. And so how can you build this culture where   We attract a bunch of people to our practice. We have team members that want to stay with us and that we actually know that, like, we're looking to see how can we maximize this. I am seeing a trend, I'm not saying this is how you have to be, but I am seeing a trend where there is a four-day work week of employees actually tends to lead to less burnout and less team turnover. I don't know what it is. My five-day practices tend to have a bit more of that, but the four-day, and again, they, so they're not,   just open four days or open five days, but they have these rotating shifts and rotating days where they're off. I have seen that that's helping. And so I really feel that when you can build this amazing culture, build it to be a place where you're excited about, add fun things in, watch your overhead, watch those costs. But I really think it's something that's possible. think back to why you started to practice. You wanted to change, you wanted to do things differently. You want to have a team where you were so excited. I know that's what I get excited about. love, I love having a team. love.   loving on them. I love giving them opportunities. I love seeing them flourish in their lives. I love being excited for the growth they're having and so really trying hard to build this incredible team culture to cut the team turnover, to keep it to where you're this like raved about practice where everybody wants to work for you. I think would really, really be an incredible thing for you to just take on. And I know we've heard about it, but I think like, look at your culture, look at the things. I had to do a deep dive of this last year.   Britt and I, sat there and we're like, all right, what is the team saying? What are the issues that we know we're seeing consistently? And what do we want to do to change to make this a better environment and a better space? And I feel that only teams in incredible culture, but there were things that we were struggling with. were things of that we needed to change. There were things that had shifted since I started the company. And I think you've got to stay on top of that. Otherwise, I think you can easily get outdated. So that's a quick wrap.   I think the biggest opportunities are definitely AI membership programs and then also getting virtual, like getting everything up to date and online. And then challenges of course are going to be higher costs and then staff shortages and team retention. But I honestly believe that those who adapt, those who innovate, those who listen to this and they don't just passively listen but actively implement are going to flourish. They say a lot of times the biggest millionaires and billionaires are born during times of hardship and harder times. And so I think   Instead of looking at this like, my gosh, the world is falling apart. Look at this. I'm like, this is the greatest time in dentistry. This is where you get to rise to the top. This is where adding customer service or doing unreasonable hospitality or being a different work culture will actually set you apart. Like you have a chance, like it's not all just set anymore. You have a chance to shuffle and ruffle and make your way to the top. And I honestly believe that you can future-proof your practice. You can get ahead of these trends. You can look ahead and   You can be the practice who is proactive and looked and saw where to get the worm and how to navigate your practice rather than being the one who wished that they would have innovated sooner. And so really just to call the action and truly if you want to future proof your practice, you want to get ahead of these, us.

Keith discusses the shift from a six-figure to a seven-figure income being necessary for a comfortable lifestyle and argues that a $5 million net worth is a minimum for financial security. He explains the benefits of leveraging a car loan for arbitrage, using a 3.99% interest rate to invest in real estate with a 20-25% total return. He also discusses the current state of the real estate market, noting that home prices and rents are expected to increase by 3-5% annually. Lower mortgage rates could increase affordability and bring more buyers into the market, potentially leading to higher home prices. Two-bedroom rents have increased by 3.7% nationwide, with significant growth in Nebraska metros.

This is get rich education, the voice of real estate investing Since 2014 Are we really gonna change the name away from the Gulf of Mexico? Well, I'll tell you one thing. There is zero history of hurricanes in the Gulf of America, therefore, I expect the appropriate adjustment to my insurance premiums big savings. Hey, you know, despite being a geography guy, I'm really not emotionally invested in this movement to change the names of giant pieces of real estate like Denali back to Mount McKinley and the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. It's only a little interesting to me. I mean, there are just more significant things to concern oneself with. So call it either one. I don't care. I know what you're talking about. Before we talk real estate, let's discuss your personal finances. I recently watched Dr Steven Franson speak surfacing this topic, and it got me thinking, when it comes to annual income, is you earning seven figures like the new six figures. Now, I guess that earning six figures could still be a short term goal to some people that are new to the working world, but maybe as little as a decade ago, having a six figure income was aspirational, or even a sign that you made it, or could even feel wealthy. I remember that today that is so far gone. Now, of course, it depends on where you live, but today, you need 50k just to survive. Your housing would be pretty standard in that case, and I don't know that you could get much fresh, healthy food at 50k per year, you might still have to be living with your parents. You need 100k just to sort of live. Perhaps that's if you're single and you're near the coasts, or you're married without children today, you need 200k for a life with travel and some dining out. I mean, you couldn't really even ball out on your vacations, like on 200k you're gonna balk at 500 bucks a night for a resort hotel. I mean, you're staying at more of a hotel than a resort, but at 200k of income, you can usually do some discretionary spending. At 300k in a lot of places, that's what a full family needs, a household with kids in order to live a little bit beyond that, and that's a combined income both spouses. If you make 450k today, now you're able to travel pretty well. You're probably still flying coach more than first class at 450k you may or may not be paying for the airline lounge, but you are staying at some comfy hotels. You really need to make $1 million a year today to live pretty close to all out fly first class travel well. But you're still flying commercial on a million dollar salary. You're not chartering anything. If that has not bought you time to cook, you can afford an executive chef with a million dollars so that you don't have to eat restaurant food. You know, restaurant food, even at finer restaurants, is laced with seed oils. This is why what used to be a six figure lifestyle is now a seven figure lifestyle. My spin here on this also is whatever you do at any income level, 50k a year to a million bucks a year or more, buy enough time to exercise that's something that's going to matter both to you and to those that you love over the long term. All right, so that's income. How about when it comes to net worth? There is a minimum amount in my mind that you need to have in net worth for me to say that you've got it made in America today. What do you think that number is? How about that? What do you think is the threshold? What's your thought? It is $5 million that is just a starting point, a minimum net worth that you need, if you just invested that you could probably live off its income for the rest of your life. For most people, compound interest will not get you to the $5 million net worth Mark anytime soon. Only leverage will. But yeah, after the COVID induced wave of inflation years ago, you've gotta recalibrate what you think of as a lot of money, and some people haven't caught up with this still. Now, I was on that great riverboat tour of Chicago not long ago. I think I brought this up to you in a previous episode, but you know, one thing that struck me as odd was that the tour guide, he was describing Chicago skyscrapers and the architecture around us, and he said they poured millions into that project. I mean, really emphasizing that millions were spent. I mean, today millions can mean as little as 2 million. That's an amount so tiny today for a construction project that what is that like, four average homes would be $2 million I mean, some entire counties in the Bay Area have a median home price of more than $2 million just one mediocre home. So let's talk about the direction of home prices and rents nationally here. Now I do not think that home prices or rents can really climb a whole lot over the next year, like 10% appreciation. I don't see it now. I also don't see how home prices and rents could fall substantially. The reason that prices cannot spike dramatically, it's still due to an affordability constraint, and I don't expect that prices or rents are going to fall a good bit either, or really fall significantly at all, because housing demand still exceeds supply. So that's the constraint on the downside. Really, nothing has changed there. The average for sale home today, it gets between two and a half and five offers that obviously depends on the area, so you keep seeing both prices and rents increase at this range of three to 5% that's the zone that we're in now, and we've been in that zone for most of the last Two years. Really pretty modest, not exciting, appreciation rates. Zumper tells us that two bedroom rents are up 3.7%   nationwide. Rents have actually declined in some Sunbelt cities, Durham, North Carolina and Nashville are some big losers I was describing Austin to you a few weeks ago. Do you know that two national leaders in rent growth are both in the same state. Yes, these two cities are both up more than 20% in rents year over year. It's in the Midwest. Any idea where I'm talking about it is Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska both up over 20% and perhaps recent GRE listener guest grant Frankie is happy about that. He's the only person I know that invests predominantly in Lincoln, and this is due to strong job growth and also that supply that still hasn't kept up with demand. Now back to my point about how nationally, both rent growth and price growth are still pretty modest, which is still a highly profitable formula for a leveraged investor that bought right But historically, it is kind of boring. Many believe that as soon as mortgage rates fall sharply, and a lot of surveys show this, if. That five and a half percent is the magic mortgage rate level that will increase affordability so much that home prices will soar. I'll tell you my spin on that is maybe even that remains to be seen from listening to me for 10 and a half years now, you know that the direction of the economy has a substantial effect on housing, rents and prices, a force bigger than just mortgage rates. And when mortgage rates fall and other interest rate types fall, that usually means that the economy needs the help, which might mean that employment is down. If employment falls, home prices can still rise. They usually do, but perhaps not as much as you thought they would. So my point is, is that when mortgage rates fall significantly, that does not automatically translate into soaring price growth. Again. You gotta take history over hunches. If there's one thing that feels a little different in this cycle though, it's that we do have this palpable amount of pent up housing demand, so lower rates really could bring a lot more buyers off the sidelines. So therefore, it is possible that home prices will soar if rates really plummet. It is just not axiomatic. Now I just bought a new car, though I could have paid all cash. I chose to get the loan. And before I tell you about why I considered not getting a car at all and just using Uber Lyft ride sharing services forever. But sometimes I like to go off the beaten path and trek in some remote places. So that just wouldn't work. I also travel a good bit, and I considered not owning any car that's tethered to just one place. It's just not that efficient. But it came down to freedom. I enjoy my freedom and autonomy to hop in my own car and drive it on a whim. Though I could have paid all cash for this new car purchase, I chose to put the minimum amount down, and I got a loan for about 95% of the cost of the car. Why would I do that? Car debt is surely not as good as real estate debt. With car debt, I have to repay my own loan. I cannot outsource these car debt payments to tenants, and the payment is about $900 a month. I'll have to pay all of that myself. Also, unlike real estate, a car is a depreciating asset. Unlike mortgage interest, car loan interest is typically not tax deductible either. I'm not going to rent this car out through Toro and try to get an income stream off the car. Nothing like that. So this might sound like three strikes against a car loan. I've got to make the payment myself. It's declining in value, especially as a new car. It starts depreciating fast as soon as I drive it off the lot, and I'm not going to have any tax breaks. Oh, come on. I mean, that might sound like bad debt to a lot of people. Leading GRE I am a staunch advocate for good debt. So why did I embrace a car loan to the maximum leveraged amount? Because I am making my car loan good debt. The definition of good debt is debt that makes money for you. Car loan debt is secured, meaning there is underlying collateral, the car itself. And by the way, credit card debt is an example of unsecured debt. The big reason, though, is the financing through the dealership BMW is a 3.99% interest rate for five years, my credit's perfect. So I got a good rate there. Therefore this car loan is a simple arbitrage play. I'm borrowing at a lower rate to invest at a higher rate. Look, even if my car loan rate were double 8% I would probably still get this car loan, but it's 3.99How do I have confidence that I'm going to beat that on an annualized basis over the next five years? Well, first future inflation expectations are elevated, like I touched on on last week's show, if true, inflation the real diminished purchasing power of your dollar over the next five years is 4% I mean, that's a break even for me, right there already, but I'm gonna do a lot better than that. As a real estate investor, I know that instead of sinking this money into the car, that's enough of a down payment for a rental single family. Home or almost a low cost duplex, and being cognizant that real estate pays five ways, I expect a minimum of a 20 to 25% total rate of return with low risk. Now, if you're a new listener, that last part sounded far fetched. I know that's okay. You just don't know how to calculate your ROI for an income property with a loan. Yet another way to describe my strategy here is though I could pay cash, why would I tie up that many funds in a car? So I'm cognizant of opportunity cost. Opportunity cost means that you're missing out on a greater benefit when you choose one option over another. This loan approach also keeps me more liquid. Look, keep your money. Don't give it to a bank. Make your bank take five years to get all the money, while my $900 monthly payment stays fixed the whole time as inflation just keeps relentlessly debasing the bank's payment that they get from me. I mean, with that part, it works the same way as it does in real estate or any fixed rate loan that you could get. Be mindful, by paying all cash, you would not improve your net worth at all. Nothing happens to your net worth. Paying all cash reduces both your asset column and your debt column by the same amount, and it hurts your liquidity. Now, if you've got an emergency, you could be in a case where all of your funds would be gone if you paid all cash, they're inside the car, and you might not be able to extract them back out. All right. Well, what about the depreciating asset part of this equation? That's what most cars are. Well, just like a piece of real estate, your car's value will rise or fall regardless of your equity position. That doesn't influence it at all. So I will be underwater on the car. That's a way that some people might look at it. That means that I'm going to owe more on the balance than the car is worth. That appears irresponsible to some people. Well, yeah, that just means that the bank's money is tied up in the car, not mine. I've got it off giving me a good return. Look, when you have loans, you have another type of leverage, and it's not the mathematical type that I often discuss here. I mean, have you ever owed a friend money when something untoward happens? Who is motivated to talk between the two of you? You are your friend, your friend. They're going to be the one that's willing to work with you and help you out. They've got to give you levers when there's a mal apropos occurrence and the borrower loses their job or has a medical disaster and a huge bill, the person that's owed the money is always going to keep communication lines open with you, you as the borrower, are the one that is in control. Keep your debt on, keep your own money, stay in control. And how is this car loan making money for me, if I get a, say, 23% total return from income property and keep paying a 4% car loan, that is 19% arbitrage, I mean, what an easy choice. Again, the definition of good debt is debt that is used to increase your wealth. So getting the Max car loan allows me to avoid paying that opportunity cost of having all the funds tied up in a depreciating asset. And that is how a real estate investor buys a car. Now you're a smart investor. I mean, we have a really wise, responsible audience comprised of people just like you. But what would be some reasons that a real estate investor should pay all cash? Because there are some, and a lot of them revolve around, if you're financially irresponsible, if instead you got a car loan so you could stay liquid and maintain your life as a profligate and reprobate gambling degenerate and lose it all on sports gambling through the freaking Draft Kings and FanDuel apps. Okay, that's not a good reason. But as a GRE listener, that probably is not you. I was probably not talking about you, right. There another reason to pay all cash rather than getting the loan like I have, is if you don't have the liquidity to service the 900 Dollar monthly debt payment yourself, you could be over leveraged. See the chunk that I'm investing in real estate instead of the car that real estate will produce income for me, but it actually will not produce as much as $900 in cash flow to fully offset the car payment. Now it's going to produce a few $100 but my arbitrage is being created with the summation of all of real estate's five profit centers. I've got the whole shebang now, the leverage appreciation, the cash flow, the ROA, the tax benefits and the inflation profiting all coming at you. All five. My liquidity comes from elsewhere. A third reason why a real estate investor would want to pay all cash for a car is because say that you would effectively be forced to pay all cash for the car. Because if you took on a $900 monthly payment, that would dent your mortgage loan qualifications, debt to income ratio that mortgage loan underwriters are going to look at it would hike up your DTI so much that you couldn't qualify for future income property loans. So right, there are, what was that? Three reasons that a real estate investor would want to pay all cash if they could. But let's not lose the bigger point I was talking about the exceptions there. The bigger point is that consider getting the maximum loan for your next car, or even getting a loan against your current car if you already have one without any debt on it. It's actually a rational approach, because you want to consider the loan first, since this is your money, you earned it, approach it with the strategy first of keeping your own money that you traded away your finite life's time for. Think of keeping it first and only then consider giving it away next. I am getting the biggest car loan that I can and making the minimum monthly payments all 60 months five years, I did the same thing with my last car. It is an easy choice for me in just one word, it is for the arbitrage one word, most experienced financiers and real estate investors have not been exposed to those ideas that I just shared with you, and at the least, I am confident that I just gave you something to chew on mentally. There I've been talking about the intersection of your personal finances and real estate investing. Today, I'm your host, Keith Weinhold here on episode 548 of the get rich education podcast    what have GRE listeners been doing these past few weeks, they have been scooping up BRRRR properties, employing the buy, renovate, rent, refinance and repeat strategy fueled by GRE 's recent live event. You can watch the video of the event on demand right now, get an understanding of the strategy, see why it's so lucrative, and if it interests you, even get you paired up with actual property addresses conducive to the strategy. You can do that at GRE webinars.com this event can indelibly elevate your entire socio economic class and shape your legacy. That is a deep statement. Hey, this is what 8x leverage and $500 plus of cash flow on each single family rental property can do for you with the burr strategy in Cleveland. I mean, how much earlier will this allow you to retire? The event is free to watch. You can watch from home. I mean, come on, what else are you going to do at home tonight? Spend that time cleaning out your closet or smoking meats. Maybe at least, spend that time getting a car loan. What's the opportunity cost of you smoking meats tonight when you can actionably Build a real estate legacy with the BRRRRstrategy? Strategically outsource the meat smoking to somebody else.

And the reason I respect Keith, He's a very strong, smart, bright young man.   Keith Weinhold  27:10   Welcome back to get rich Education. I'm your host. Keith Weinhold, it's been a while, but I know that I shared with you before that my first ever out of state rental property that I bought ended up being a loser, and this is despite the fact that the turnkey provider and property manager that I was hiring for the property, they even told me not to buy the property because they couldn't keep it occupied in that neighborhood, and they told me to buy a different one instead. I didn't listen. I bought it anyway, and I lost we couldn't keep it occupied, so after a few years, I sold it to an owner, occupant, family for a small profit, but it was after years of negative cash flow, so there really wasn't any profit there, because, like I just said, we couldn't keep it occupied with a rent paying tenant that was back in 2012 near Fort Worth Texas. I bought it because it was cheap, just 153k and it looked pretty. It was brick. Those are both bad reasons to buy. Cheap doesn't always mean good. And the fact that a property looks pretty, I mean, I guess that's a somewhat good thing, but it should not be a deciding factor. I was never going to live there facts Trump feelings in investing. So my first bad experience was totally avoidable. I can only blame myself. Let me tell you about some other fatal mistakes to avoid, as we talk about some turnkey real estate investing due diligence. Since turnkey means all done for you, or another way to describe the property is a rent ready property. You know that word turnkey? It's sort of this compelling, even seductive buzzword, and it just might make you think that, ah, everything is just handled now and forever. It's gonna sail along just fine. No, it won't. Now, this is the type of investing that can change your life. This is the real estate pays five ways. Compound leverage Trumps compound interest, type of vehicle. Financially free beats that free type of vehicle. You're winning the inflation Triple Crown all those great, formulaic GRE mantras, but you better check to make sure before you get too far into it. And that's why we're talking about vital due diligence here. I think you know by now that turnkey, it means a property that's really just got three things. It's already renovated or new. Secondly, has a tenant in it, and it has professional property management from day one. Now, the property providers at GRE marketplace, they are some of the good ones. They have good reputations. Many have been in business for a long time, but some others do not. So what about a provider? Provider that's in, say, Oklahoma, but you live out of the area on one of the coasts, and this Oklahoma provider, they're trying to pass off a property in Oklahoma City or Tulsa to you, it's actually in a class D neighborhood the worst. And they're sort of presenting it like it's a Class B minus neighborhood, right? How can you hedge against that? How can you know that things are not being misrepresented to you? Well, of course, everyone knows about Google Street View. You're probably going to look at that first that's going to tell you about the street scene. It's free to use a paid service that gives you neighborhood analytics. Is it neighborhoodscout.com you want to verify crime rates in areas, income levels, poverty levels, education levels and school quality to make sure that the property characteristics are what you are being told, and some of those attributes always matter with property. I mean, crime rates matter because even though you're not living there so you're not going to be able to retain respectable rent paying tenants that would tolerate a high crime neighborhood. Understand, though, that not all crime data is the same. Violent crime is probably the worst shoplifting, I'll call that in the middle. And then most traffic violations, they're light crimes. Now, if you're buying a single family rental type, of course, the quality of the school district, well, that's going to matter more than if you're buying a building of little efficiency apartments where the school district hardly matters there, because you're not catering to families. I've mentioned before that we go look.com. Is a service where you can hire an independent inspector, not even a real estate related person, necessarily, but just an independent on the ground inspector to just go check out a neighborhood at any hour of the day or night. Now, if you have any question about the out of state neighborhood that you're buying in an easy way to get a check on the decency of the neighborhood is something really simple. Make sure the turnkey provider owns properties in the area that they're selling to you. This helps ensure that they're not offloading their problem properties onto you. That's something that's probably only going to happen with an inexperienced provider that doesn't have a reputation to protect yet. But when it comes to neighborhood quality, once I'm pretty serious about buying a property, do you know who I usually get reliable information from? And it's virtually free, and you're contacting this party anyway, so it's so easy for you that is just simply ask your property inspector. I mean, you always want that independent, certified Property inspector to walk inside every room of your prospective purchase, and they make that punch list for your seller before you close that's on either a renovated or a new build property always get that inspection. I've talked about that before, and that often costs $500 or less on a single family home, and today it's about $800 or less on a duplex, well before my inspector even checks out the place. I like to let them know that I live outside the area, and I want their insight on the neighborhood as well. I mean, inspectors live locally there, so they'll probably be able to give you a good answer before they even do your physical inspection. They already know the area really well, and it doesn't even cost you any more above your normal inspection cost to just get a little on the ground intelligence. And of course, your inspector works for a company independent of your property provider, so their information should be unbiased. They work for you. Now after the inspection, how about your appraisal and some due diligence with that, what if your appraisal comes in low. Everyone wants to talk about if your appraisal comes in high, that's instant equity that you have, but see if the appraisal comes in low with a turnkey property where everything was renovated, that may or may not be a problem, because the comparables that were used for your valuation, they don't have everything renovated in them like your property does. So the subject property, the one that you've got under contract to buy that could very well have a lot of say, new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, the roof, bathrooms, paint, flooring, lighting, kitchens. I mean, most, or all of those components could be new in yours. It's common for yours to have all those components, and then the comparables do not have those now, you and your seller, you will have to negotiate on who's going to close the appraisal gap. I've discussed that part on a previous episode, but I'm point. Out how you can still be getting value even when your appraisal is low and it's worth it. Down the road, you're going to have less maintenance headache than your appraisal comparables will most of the time. Turnkey properties are renovated to cover major systems, and that means you do not have major expenses. Soon these expenses get wrapped into your mortgage payment, and that's a lot better for you than coming out of pocket three years later to replace an entire roof. Another thing to keep in mind is that a property provider that's been in business for a lot of years, they do not have interest in selling you a lemon of a property and hurting their reputation, but that seller does have a little interest in getting the maximum dollar. I mean, that's almost intrinsically natural in human beings. I mean, everyone has that motivation, just like you do when you sell your property down the road. So these rent ready or turnkey properties, they're almost always better if you're a busy professional or you just want to spend your time doing something else. I mean, I think that's a pretty well established concept in the investing industry, but I really think these rent ready properties, they are better for even more people than just busy professionals. I mean, consider the alternative, if you try to screen and identify a property yourself and do all the rehab and manage the contractors. I mean, first of all, you can be dealing with a hard money loan where you're paying four or five points plus a 12% interest rate, since that's all that's available for distressed properties, and unless you have experience managing contractors, oh, boy, you could have construction timelines that go over by several months. Well, now that can eat a huge portion of your investment that you thought you were making. You're paying 12% and you have no tenant all this time, but instead, when you buy a rent ready property, and you've got the best mortgage rates and terms from day one, and you've got a rent paying tenant from day one, and not all these headaches and time lost and contractors are trying to manage with turnkeys at GRE marketplace, those rehabs are done by crews that work full time for the turnkey provider, so they work at more affordable rates than what you could get as an out of state buyer if you're trying to patch together contract and crews yourself. So at scale GRE marketplace providers, they're also dealing with the same material types over and over again, so they're faster at doing it. The materials are also reliably sourced. You won't have the 10s or hundreds of hours managing all this, checking with the rehabbers, checking for quality control, making sure the amount of work that you were paying for was actually done. I mean, some people listen to this show and they had that real estate pays five ways, epiphany, that big light bulb moment, but then they try to do this rehabbing and investing themselves to save a few dollars, is what they thought, and it's rarely worth it. So avoid the massive time commitments with all this. I mean, you're also going to be doing other things, coordinating inspections and permits with city municipalities. I mean, what a nightmare. GRE marketplace providers, they've already done all of that for you and more now that you've bought the property, all right, what about the potential for poor management? Choosing your property manager is of utmost importance, because that person or firm, they're going to vet your tenants, handle the repairs, collect your rents and take care of any other issues at your rental property. They'll understand the local landlord and tenant law, you're going to be seeing the property infrequently, if you ever see it at all, so keeping an eye on things becomes key. Now, once you own the property and you have the tenant in there, there is always the potential for your property manager to do a poor job, costing you money, making your investment less lucrative, I like to ask my manager if they do regular property inspections, like getting inside the unit every six months. Now, you can read online reviews, like the star reviews, the number of stars for property managers. I mean, that could be helpful. It can also quickly get misleading. You can get a lot of bad reviews on an adequate manager. Because property management is such a tough job, I think that one of the best things you can do when vetting a property manager is to ask a friend. A lot of people don't have that option. So then do a search on the bigger pockets. Forums for your prospective property manager. So read reviews. Don't just look at star ratings. And I'll tell you, property management is one of the few areas in my life where I am willing to accept a service level of adequate or mediocre. Almost no one raves about their property manager, but I do have managers because they are the guardians of my quality of life, of your standard of living. We want them to serve our tenants, but I don't want 80 tenants being able to text message me. So there you go, armed with a number of due diligence items that can help you make sure that you buy your next income property, right? GRE marketplace, we typically connect you with the experience providers, but I'm telling you this because it's prudent to do some checking on your own and inquiring like this too, in case you have any doubt. Now, you notice on GRE marketplace, where you can connect with free investment coaching as well, that the properties, at times, they seem less expensive than you would expect. Why is this? Well, investor advantage markets, they have low prices. I mean, that's just one reason that they are investor advantaged like Ohio, Indiana, parts of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Tennessee, Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas and some of the other Mid Atlantic states And Florida, another reason the GRE market prices seem low is that there is no agent that has to be compensated. It is a direct model. Another reason is economies of scale. Providers provide homes in bulk, so there are savings that way, and there also aren't any owner occupied emotions evolved with income properties. Those emotions can run up the price, or what they really do is they keep it stuck at a high price. So to help you review what you've learned today, a seven figure income is the new six figures. Real estate prices and rents just keep moving up, but modestly for the time being, a car loan can be good debt when you have a reasonable expectation that you can create arbitrage and sufficient liquidity in your life. And though income property is perhaps the most proven wealth generator ever, there are some mistakes to avoid when it comes to buying right between the guidance that you have today and the help of our completely free investment coaching another safety layer.
