This week, we're sharing something special: Michael's full talk from the 2025 Urgent Care Association (UCA) Conference in Dallas. Titled The Front Desk Evolution, this session was standing-room-only and sparked conversations that continued long after the conference ended.In this high-impact presentation, Michael makes the case that the front desk is not just a cost center—it's your clinic's most underutilized sales team. From phone scripts to objection handling and AI-enhanced booking tools, this session is loaded with actionable strategies you can take back to your clinic immediately.If you're ready to stop leaving thousands of dollars in missed appointments on the table, this is the episode for you.
Michael is back after a whirlwind week at the 2025 Urgent Care Association (UCA) Conference in Dallas—and he's recapping the entire event with Nick. From standing-room-only sessions to surprise podcast shoutouts, this episode is a full debrief of everything that went down.Michael shares the behind-the-scenes of his packed talk, Front Desk Evolution, which sparked a lot of head-nodding and follow-up conversations. Turns out, many clinics still treat the front desk as an afterthought—and it's costing them thousands in lost patient opportunities.This one is part conference recap, part culture commentary (yes, Uber stories included), and all about what healthcare leaders should be paying attention to if they want to grow their clinics in 2025 and beyond.
Today's episode is a deep dive into real-world urgent care marketing—and what it actually takes to grow and scale a multi-location clinic.Nick and Michael are joined by Chryssa Rich, Director of Marketing at Primary Health Medical Group, a physician-owned, 24-location urgent care brand based in Idaho.With 12 years of experience leading marketing at Primary Health—and a career that spans finance, real estate, automotive, and entertainment—Chryssa brings a seasoned operator's perspective to the mic. You'll hear what's worked, what hasn't, and what most clinics are still getting wrong when it comes to measuring ROI, driving repeat visits, and building long-term brand trust in their communities.From billboards to direct mail to an in-house built real-time patient waiting widget, Chryssa shares how Primary Health mixes old-school and new-school tactics to keep waiting rooms full and patients coming back.This episode is packed with marketing takeaways for urgent care clinic owners, directors, and anyone juggling strategy with daily operations—and it's a must-listen for any startup clinic trying to scale without wasting money on the wrong moves.
This week's episode is a little different. The PCMP team has been on the ground at the UCA Convention, connecting with forward-thinking clinic owners and operators from across the country. So instead of our usual format, we're bringing you a high-impact clip from our latest live webinar: “How to Use Google Ads to Beat the Summer Slump.”In this session, Michael and Nick are joined by our in-house Google Ads expert, Philip, to unpack real-world strategies that are working right now to drive volume and visibility during the slower months.
Nick and Michael are back behind the mics diving into one of the biggest mistakes clinics make: putting all their eggs—and their patient acquisition—into one basket.From paid ads to word-of-mouth to grassroots outreach, they break down why true growth only happens when you build everywhere, not just online. It's part marketing strategy, part reality check, and 100% focused on helping your urgent care become the go-to clinic in your community.Get ready for practical tips, real-world examples, and a reminder that omnipresence (not just Google Ads) is the real secret to scaling.
Vision isn't just a buzzword—it's the difference between a clinic that coasts and one that climbs.Nick and Michael (Milo's tea in hand) dig into why so many urgent care owners are unknowingly flying VFR—reactive, unstructured, and stuck below the clouds. With aviation as the metaphor, they draw a clear line between clinics that are just getting by and those operating with intention, strategy, and altitude.It's part story, part strategy, and packed with insights for anyone ready to stop winging it—and start scaling with purpose.

In a case that has shocked the community, Majorjon Kaylor, a 32-year-old man from Idaho, has been sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for the murder of a neighboring family, which included two teenagers. The tragic incident, motivated by revenge, has left the victims' families grappling with profound grief and loss. Court records reveal that First Judicial District Court Judge Barbara Duggan handed down the life sentence to Kaylor for the 2023 quadruple murder of Kenneth Guardipee, 65, his daughter Kenna Guardipee, 41, and her two children, Devin Smith, 18, and Aiken Smith, 16. During the sentencing hearing, Judge Duggan described the killings as a "particularly heinous event." The courtroom was filled with emotional testimonies from the victims' relatives, who shared their heartbreak and the devastating impact of the murders. David Silva, the grandfather of Aiken and Devin Smith, expressed his sorrow, saying, "He killed an entire branch of our family tree. Never any great-grandchildren to watch grow up. I lost my best friend (Aiken Smith). He spent hundreds of hours volunteering throughout the community. An entire beautiful family taken by one person." Gerri Silva, the mother of Kenna Guardipee, spoke about the unimaginable loss of three generations in one devastating blow, highlighting the profound emptiness left behind. Kenneth Guardipee's brother, Joe Guardipee, condemned Kaylor's actions, stating, "What a man you are. Not only did you destroy my family, but yours as well. You said you were protecting your children. Let me ask you: Who's protecting them now?” The tragic events unfolded on Father's Day, June 18, 2023, when deputies from the Shoshone County Sheriff's Office responded to a distressing 911 call reporting multiple gunshot victims at a residence in Kellogg, Idaho. Upon arrival, they apprehended Kaylor, who was later charged with the murders of the four family members. Investigators determined that the shooting occurred following a disagreement between neighbors. The victims lived in the lower apartment of a duplex, while Kaylor and his family resided in the upper apartment. The families had been sharing the space for only a few weeks before the tragic incident. A probable cause affidavit revealed that the massacre transpired less than a week after Kaylor and his family lodged a complaint accusing Devin Smith of indecent exposure. In the police report, Kaylor's wife recounted an incident where Devin Smith allegedly stood fully naked in his ground-level bedroom window and engaged in inappropriate behavior while she and her young daughter were playing outside. After his arrest, Kaylor confessed to the murders. He explained that he attempted to discuss the alleged indecent exposure incident with Kenna Guardipee and her father but grew increasingly frustrated when they did not take the matter seriously. Kaylor admitted that he reached a breaking point and acted violently to address his anger, stating that he "snapped" and "lost control." The indictment outlined that all four killings were motivated by Kaylor's desire for revenge. Judge Duggan noted that Kellogg Police Officers had documented a report regarding the incident on June 13. Expressing frustration with law enforcement's response, Kaylor indicated that he wouldn't involve them if such an incident occurred again. On the day of the tragic events, June 18, Kaylor proceeded to shoot Kenna in the hand, torso, and temple, followed by shooting Kenneth in the torso and head. Subsequently, Kaylor entered the residence and shot Aiken in the back and temple, and Devin was struck by gunfire four times. Kaylor called 911 and said he "executed a f*****g pedophile and his family." When dispatch responded, "You shot four people and they're all dead?" Kaylor confirmed, "Yes, I shot four people." During his sentencing, Kaylor opted not to address the court. His defense team urged the court to consider Kaylor's troubled background, highlighting a childhood marked by abuse, poverty, and instability. They also questioned why the court had not provided any recourse for Kaylor's family, such as issuing restraining orders, following the initial instances of misconduct. This tragic case underscores the devastating impact of unresolved neighborly conflicts and the far-reaching consequences of acts of revenge. The community continues to mourn the loss of the Guardipee family, while Kaylor's life sentence serves as a somber reminder of the need for early intervention and resolution of disputes. #MajorjonKaylor #KennethGuardipee #KennaGuardipee #DevinSmith #AikenSmith #IdahoMurders #LifeSentence Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A 32-year-old man from Idaho received a life sentence for the tragic killing of a neighboring family, which included two teenagers. The incident, motivated by a desire for revenge, deeply affected the community and left the victims' families grappling with profound grief. Court records indicate that First Judicial District Court Judge Barbara Duggan sentenced Majorjon Kaylor to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for the 2023 quadruple murder. The victims included Kenneth Guardipee, aged 65, his daughter Kenna Guardipee, aged 41, and her two children, Devin Smith, aged 18, and Aiken Smith, aged 16. During the sentencing hearing on Monday, the perpetrator, identified as Kaylor, faced a scathing rebuke from Judge Duggan, who described the killings as a "particularly heinous event.” Before the sentencing, relatives of the victims were given the opportunity to read their victim impact statements. David Silva, the grandfather of Aiken and Devin Smith, lamented the loss of an entire branch of their family tree, emphasizing the absence of future generations to cherish. “He killed an entire branch of our family tree. “Never any great-grandchildren to watch grow up. I lost my best friend (Aiken Smith). He spent hundreds of hours volunteering throughout the community. An entire beautiful family taken by one person,” Gerri Silva, the mother of Kenna Guardipee, spoke of losing three generations in one devastating blow, revealing the profound emptiness left in the wake of the murders. Kenneth Guardipee's brother, Joe Guardipee, condemned Kaylor's actions, accusing him of destroying not only their family but also his own. “What a man you are. Not only did you destroy my family, but yours as well,” he said. You said you were protecting your children. Let me ask you: Who's protecting them now?” The massacre unfolded on Father's Day, Sunday, June 18, 2023, when deputies from the Shoshone County Sheriff's Office responded to a distressing 911 call reporting multiple gunshot victims at a residence in Kellogg, Idaho. Upon arrival, they apprehended Kaylor, who was later charged with the murders of four individuals from the neighboring family. According to investigators, the shooting occurred following a disagreement between neighbors. The four victims resided in the lower apartment of a duplex, while Kaylor and his family occupied the upper apartment. The families had only been sharing the space for a few weeks before the tragic incident took place. A probable cause affidavit revealed that the massacre transpired less than a week after Kaylor and his family lodged a complaint accusing Devin Smith of indecent exposure. In the police report, Kaylor's wife recounted an incident where Devin Smith allegedly stood fully naked in his ground-level bedroom window and engaged in inappropriate behavior while she and her young daughter were playing outside. After Kaylor's arrest, authorities reported that he confessed to the murder of the four family members. He explained that he attempted to discuss the alleged indecent exposure incident with Kenna Guardipee and her father but grew increasingly frustrated when they did not take the matter seriously. Kaylor admitted that he reached a breaking point and acted violently to address his anger, stating that he "snapped" and "lost control." The indictment outlined that all four killings were motivated by Kaylor's desire for revenge. Judge Duggan noted that Kellogg Police Officers had documented a report regarding the incident on June 13. Expressing frustration with law enforcement's response, Kaylor indicated that he wouldn't involve them if such an incident occurred again. On the day of the tragic events, June 18, Kaylor proceeded to shoot Kenna in the hand, torso, and temple, followed by shooting Kenneth in the torso and head. Subsequently, Kaylor entered the residence and shot Aiken in the back and temple, and Devin was struck by gunfire four times. Kaylor called 911 and said he "executed a f*****g pedophile and his family." Dispatch responded, "You shot four people and they're all dead?" "Yes, I shot four people," Kaylor said. During his sentencing, Kaylor opted not to address the court. His defense team urged the court to take into account Kaylor's troubled background, highlighting a childhood marked by abuse, poverty, and instability. Additionally, they raised questions about why the court had not provided any recourse for Kaylor's family, such as issuing restraining orders, following the initial instances of misconduct.

In today's episode, Nick and Michael speak with Lyn Askin, founder of EOS Worldwide. Lyn discusses the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) and how it can transform businesses.

He explains the key components of EOS, including vision, traction, and health, and how they can improve business operations. They conclude the episode by talking about practical steps for getting started with EOS and the potential impact it can have on business growth. About Lyn: I've been an entrepreneur my whole life. From my first paper route to over 25 years of owning and operating a digital marketing agency. But despite our success, we faced the common problems: a lack of clear vision, lackluster team commitment, and poor discipline and accountability In 2020, I got a huge wake up call. I suffered a bi-lateral pulmonary embolism. As I laid in the ICU fighting for my life, my thoughts were consumed with the turmoil I left for my wife and son. My wife would have to go to my office, fire our employees and lose all of our clients. If I would have died that day my business would have died with me. Thank god I survived, but I knew things needed to change. I had to build something that ran without me. Implementing EOS was a remarkable transformation. We 3x'd our revenue, 7x's our profits and grew from 10 employees to 27. I was able to take a step back from daily operations, leading to a successful company acquisition, leaving a legacy for my family. The transformation was life changing, inspiring me to help others with EOS! Don't wait for a wake-up call. Transform Your Business Now! Contact me today and let's turn your business into a legacy!
