Dietitians and nutrition professionals can feel like the ‘nutrition baby' is being thrown out with the ‘diet bathwater' when learning about size inclusivity (eg the Non-Diet Approach, HAES and Intuitive Eating).  Many wonder... if I can't tell people what to eat, what is left? Is there any point to dietitians? Do I just forget all my medical nutrition therapy knowledge? This existential crisis is a consequence of nutrition-related professions identifying with their key expertise being in weight management. This episode sorts the ‘therapeutic wheat' from the ‘fatphobic chaff' to offer an alternative perspective on your professional identity.   Learning goals: - Recognise the different meanings of the terms ‘diet' and ‘dietary pattern' and their common and technical uses - Identify the therapeutic nutrition elements in size inclusive approaches (eg Health at Every Size, Intuitive Eating and the Non-Diet Approach frameworks), and their centring around ‘feel-good' eating - Differentiate between internal vs external motivation and their application in weight-neutral practice  Enjoy!

EPISODE SUMMARYIn the fast-paced world of Software as a Service (SaaS), closing deals and retaining customers can be challenging.

Working Hard Isn't Special Highlights from this episode of Crushing the Day:

As I approach my 40th birthday next week, I've been reflecting on the experiences that shape the foundation of my value system and understanding of the world around me. In this episode, I delve into lessons 21 to 30 of my “40 Lessons in 40 Years” series, exploring topics like reciprocity, embodiment, and identity.  When it comes to my relationships, health, career – honestly, everything in my life – I'm committed to trusting my embodied awareness. I'm all about meeting people where they are, but I've also realized that I need to be okay with where I am and let my inner-knowing guide the way. I hope this series sparks something in you to think about your innate wisdom and what lessons you've picked up along the way. If anything resonates with you (or doesn't), I'd love to hear from you!  In episode 439 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss: (1:28) Lesson #21: Reciprocity is great to integrate into your value system to just ensure that you're not constantly burning yourself out and over-giving.  (4:20) Lesson #22: Be discerning about marketing versus information.  (9:22) Lesson #23: Differentiate between healthcare and illness scare (h/t to Anita Moorjani) (10:25) Lesson #24: Be careful what you identify with and hold on to all your identities with a flexible grip. (12:42) Lesson #25: Practice less armchair diagnosing and more discernment around what kind of behavior, treatment, and communication works best for you. (13:50) Lesson #26: We do not need to understand things or how and why they happen in order to heal, grow, and learn from them.  (14:39) Lesson #27: People let attachment to (and weird definitions of) morality interfere with good decision making. (15:06) Lesson #28: Here on Earth where love is extremely powerful and potent, but we also have free will with our truth, integrity, compassion, and forgiveness, love is just not enough sometimes.  (15:35) Lesson #29: Expressive arts are so important because sometimes we need stories in order to feel and acknowledge what we're actually going through.  (17:50) Lesson #30: It's really important to create levels in my work and be clear about who is meant for each offering.  Resources mentioned in the episode: This is Marketing by Seth Godin  Dying to Be Me by Anita Moorjani  Ep 181.

In this episode of Well-Oiled Operations, host Stacy Tuschl breaks down the strategy and the business mindset that one must maintain for a thriving business.   Stacy has been taking a deep dive into their personal experiences and has come to the realization that they had some delusional entitlements that were impeding their progress. Through their own journey, they have garnered valuable insights and are keen on highlighting the fact that phases like learning, doing, refining, and maintaining are often overlooked. It's common for individuals to expect things to come easy, however, Stacy emphasizes that it's during the refining stage that breakthroughs occur. Overcoming entitlement, embracing consistency, and modifying actions to better align with one's goals are key components to achieving success. Stacy's reflection serves as a reminder that the journey towards success is not linear and requires continuous effort and adaptation. Also in this episode: What it really takes to crush your goals.

Although there is never any guaranteed formula to get into a “dream school”, our special guest is going to at least help us better understand what standing out in the application process looks like. We may have our own ideas about this, but being able to get information and advice from an expert in the field is highly recommended.

This summer short is about the dynamic between payers and providers. An opening point that Jacob Asher, MD, my guest in this healthcare podcast, makes in the interview that follows is that, for a payer, it's super hard to competitively differentiate from both a cost and/or a quality perspective when you and all of your payer competition use the exact same PPO (preferred provider organization) networks. I mean, what? Are these same exact doctors gonna somehow do a better job with your members than with the rest of their patients? This is even more true if you think about this from a physician or a practice point of view. Will clinical teams in their clinical workflow figure out who your members are, first of all, which is a thing, and then switch up what they choose to do for your members that is special? Even theoretically, that sounds like an executional fandango, which is exacerbated in markets with lots of payers. I guess I am not shocked when I hear stories like Dr. Asher was talking about: Doctor sits down at desk after a long day and sees 27 “Dear Doctor” letters from all of the payers in his or her payer mix. “Hey, Doc. Let me tell you about our amazing new thing.” And Doc's like, “Pajama time awaits.” And—boom!—the letters, unopened, right in the recycle bin. From a payer's standpoint, back to square one, I guess. Now, I will chuck in the mix here—and this has nothing to do with the conversation with Dr. Asher that follows—but one thing I've spent my entire career doing is helping organizations set up programs to collaborate with other organizations. If I authentically solve an actual, authentic, prioritized problem, I usually can find many people who seem pretty pleased to work with me. Now, is this easy to do? No. It takes strategic thinking and executional competence and/or grit to see it through. You really have to understand and account for vested interests and all the weird perverse incentives. Personally, I gotta work with a whole team of others coming at this from all different directions to untie this Gordian knot. But anyone who really wants to or needs to reach across the aisle and engage with other stakeholders or customers, even in any sort of systemic way, it's just not possible to phone it in. Anyway, I just want everyone to succeed in working together. It is impossible to have a longitudinal patient journey if everybody is all up in their own silos fragmenting care.   You can learn more by connecting with Dr. Asher on LinkedIn.   Jacob Asher, MD, completed a residency in otolaryngology–head and neck surgery at the University of California, San Francisco, after receiving degrees from Brown University and the Boston University School of Medicine. Dr. Asher then practiced as an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) surgeon with Kaiser Permanente in Northern California and also served on the board of directors of The Permanente Medical Group, where he focused on physician compensation reform, member satisfaction initiatives, and retirement benefits. After transitioning to full-time health plan management, Dr. Asher served as a California commercial market medical director between 2008 and 2022 for Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare. In those roles, he supported membership growth and retention in both fully insured and self-funded product lines and promoted value-based reimbursement, including capitation. He has led utilization management teams, collaborated with internal and external population healthcare advocates, and worked to develop clinical initiatives that sought to achieve the Triple Aim. In his role as the clinical face of the health plan to the local market, he worked with network colleagues on accountable care organization partnerships and hospital and physician contract renewals with integrated pay for performance, supported Obamacare exchange participation, engaged in quality improvement collaboratives, and supported regulatory compliance efforts. Currently, Dr. Asher is serving as a mentor for the Stanford Master in Medical Informatics program while exploring innovative solutions to healthcare delivery.   03:38 Why providers contracted with multiple health plans don't have a financial incentive to do something unique with one payer over another. 04:01 Why it doesn't make sense for providers to offer unique pathways for different payer organizations. 05:23 Why, broadly speaking, standards of care between payer policies aren't really differentiators in clinical practice. 06:47 Why financial incentives might not be aligned to make providers want to standardize their care. 09:16 What improvement has there been in plans making providers more aware of the benefits they offer? 11:47 Why won't providers off-load their pop health?   You can learn more by connecting with Dr. Asher on LinkedIn.   @JacobAsher18 discusses #payers and #providers on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast   Recent past interviews: Click a guest's name for their latest RHV episode!

Are you tired of being the only one in your agency responsible for closing deals? Would you like to build a top-notch agency sales team to land the deals you've always wanted? In this episode, you'll learn how to find the right salesperson, build a sales team, train, manage, and compensate them so the owner is no longer the one responsible for agency sales. It all starts with: Understanding your ideal client. Finding and training the right salespeople. Creating a sales process that works for the sales team.   Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio | Stitcher | Radio FM Being an agency owner can feel like being on a rollercoaster ride. One moment you have a full pipeline and the next it is as dry as the desert. I remember focusing all my attention on sales to get new business and then having to switch my focus to delivery. As soon as I was focused on delivery I noticed sales suffered. In hindsight, I think I was self-sabotaging sales because we just couldn't deliver as fast as I was selling the services. To fix this problem you have to find a salesperson who can do a better job at sales than you do, as the agency owner. There are three types of salespeople: Hunter:  usually has a lower salary and gets paid per appointment. Closer: with a higher base salary and tiered commission, and should have a sales quota. Farmer or account service: has a mid-range salary with a bonus based on client retention. The BIGGEST MISTAKE you can make while searching for a salesperson is trying to find a unicorn that can fill all three of these roles. And, you don't need to hire all three at once. Start by hiring for the role you're weakest at. Are you good at getting the leads in but lacking when it comes to following up? Then hire a closer. Eventually, you can hire the rest and grow a sales team. Pro tip: be sure to give them the right title. No one wants to meet with a “Business Development Manager” or “Salesperson.” Personally, I've always preferred the term Specialist, like Scale Specialist or Conversion Specialist. You need a title that makes prospects want to have a conversation. Now where can you actually find these salespeople? You have several choices: Personal connections: I don't suggest hiring a friend, but a mutual connection is a winner almost every time. Current and past clients: Your clients already know what you do and your process and they may love working for you. Salespeople who have sold to you in the past: They can even be from another industry. The important thing is that you had a good experience; you can teach and train them in everything else agency-related. Recruiters and job boards: This has never personally worked for me but it depends on your style and preferences. How to Differentiate a Good Agency Sales Candidate Once you start the interview process, how can you tell a sales candidate is right for your agency? Look at how they're behaving during the interview. Are they talking too much? If they do, it's probably a bad sign. A good salesperson listens more than they talk. Are they asking great questions? Have they been successful in sales in the past? As mentioned, they don't necessarily need experience in the agency industry, as long as they understand the principles of sales. For the candidates you do like, ask them to prepare a 90-day plan. They should be able to paint a picture of what they would do during the first 90 days at your agency. Moreover, you can use that plan later as a way to measure them. Pro Tip: Sales are very competitive, so if you can hire two or three candidates at the same time, you can encourage competition while also testing out strengths. How Should You Compensate Agency Sales? Commission-Only vs. Salary This is a question I get very often. How do you compensate an agency salesperson? Commission-only or straight salary? To be clear, each has its downsides. If you're paying commission only, your salespeople may start to make false promises in desperation to make a sale. They also may not be 100% focused on your agency and might even sell for someone else to make ends meet. On the other hand, if you go for 100% salary you avoid the problem of false promises but they almost certainly won't be hungry enough to go hard on sales. This is why I lean more toward doing a combination of both: salary plus commission. I offer a base salary that is just below their salary requirements and a commission, of maybe 5% - 10%. You need to show them there is an incentive to exceed their salary goals IF they are a rockstar at sales. Training Your Digital Agency Sales Team When I think about training a salesperson I think about preparing them to be able to answer the following: What's your promise to your clients? What's your client's problem? And, What types of clients are a good fit and what are not? Over the years I've broken down what makes agency owners such good salespeople and realized it all comes down to stories. As owners, we have all the stories for different scenarios. If you're dealing with a prospect that's having a hard time converting leads, you probably have a story about another client who dealt with this same struggle and overcame it. As the owner, I recommend keeping track of and sharing those stories. The team could use some of them to attract leads, others to convert. The point is that you give them the tools to succeed. Over time, they'll accumulate their own stories. How to Train and Manage Your Agency Sales Team  When it comes to managing salespeople I recommend you start doing it daily until you feel they can handle themselves. You can break it down into morning and afternoon, at least for the first couple of months. The morning should be used to share stories and prepare them to chat with clients. You'll also want to share wins and go over objections people may be having. On the other hand, the afternoon should be more about the progress of the day. This is better left for the afternoon because some days they'll get a lot of no's and you'll have to help rebuild their confidence. Once they get to a good place, you can change the daily check-ins to weekly. They should also start recording all their calls so you can review them. You can ask them to send their worst and best calls of the day. This way, you can see if they're clarifying why the client got on the call. They should label the problem and establish a gap in how far away the client is from where they want to be. Also, make sure they ask for the sale, rather than just prescribe what they need to do. Finally, make sure you're constantly measuring them on their 90-day success plan. This way, I guarantee within 30 days you'll know whether that salesperson is going to work out or not. How to Qualify Agency Prospects and Stop Wasting Time with the Wrong Ones How can you spend time with the right prospect and avoid wasting time with the wrong ones? The first conversation with a prospect is the most important because it frames how the relationship develops. Too many agencies use that conversation to focus on themselves (showcasing capabilities and successes) when you should actually be focusing on the prospect. Often agencies start talking about their awards and their portfolio with a prospect that doesn't care about that yet. They don't care what the agency can do, they care what the agency can do for them. However, I'm sure you want to stand out and present yourself as more than just another Me Too agency, and there are 10 questions you can ask to position yourself as THE CHOICE rather than a choice. 10 Steps When Talking with New Agency Prospects It's important to gauge the benefits and pre-qualify any new agency prospect. I call this a triage call, where you can assess the challenge the prospect is facing and determine whether you can work together to deliver the results they seek. The Welcome: This sets the tone for the meeting and establishes you as the one in control. Just make them feel comfortable and let them know you'll be asking them some questions to determine whether or not you can help them. Explain that if you're a good fit, there will be another meeting. If you can't help, you'll give them some advice and part as friends. Why now and why me? Try to understand why they're coming to your agency at this particular moment. Tell me more about your business: Make sure you have the full picture of what they do so you can determine if you can help them. What's your budget? This will determine their expectation and what they're willing to pay. Where are they now and where are they trying to be? Get to know the metrics, the goals, and how they are going to measure success. What is missing or broken? Try to identify their biggest issue. Try to learn the impact that issue is having on their business and the impact of fixing it. What do they need? What are their biggest challenges and why do they think you can solve those? Establish the priority: On a scale of 1 to 10 how much of a priority is it to resolve this issue? Problem check-in: State the top problems and the impact they're having on them. Can you actually help them and do you want to? This is a question to ask yourself, thinking not just in terms of revenue but based on the initial interaction; is this client he right fit for your agency? After doing the triage call and walking through these 10 questions, it is time to present your foot-in-the-door offer. A foot-in-the-door offer is a low commitment, low cost, and easy YES for the prospect. And, it's the best way to showcase your agency's expertise and test out a working relationship with a client before fully committing to larger projects.

An estimated 48 million Americans provide care for someone over the age of 18. Caregiver Melissa Fisher shares her personal experience with Jim Cagliostro and asks, how can we do better?    Episode Introduction  Melissa shares the four challenges faced by caregivers today, calls on doctors to recognize family and patients as a ‘'unit'', and highlights the ‘'unpaid, untrained, overwhelmed, burned-out'' reality of caregiving. She also emphasizes the need for a pathway for dementia care, and asks why the beginning of life is so well-orchestrated in healthcare, but the end is not?    Show Topics   The rise of caregiving  Four challenges facing caregivers Patients and their families are a unit What we don't measure, doesn't matter ‘'What do you think we should do?'' Creating pathways for dementia care ‘'Don't shut me out!''   07:04 The rise of caregiving Melissa outlined the complex reasons that have led to an increased need for care.   ‘'It just feels like all of a sudden we're all looking around and going, "Oh my goodness. We've got a lot of people who are needing care." And we also used to live in close proximity to one another. My parents, they moved away when I graduated and pursued their lives where they wanted to be. So I understand it, but we're spread out more. Kids move from rural towns. They're going to other parts of the country to make their way. They aren't staying in the homestead anymore. We also are having children later. My parents were able to save more, and many of them had homes. Americans are also, as I'm starting to realize, fiercely independent, and that's part of the problem because my mom sees her position as if I am there and helping her, then she is losing her privacy. She wants to maintain her own home. But I think back another generation, and my great-grandmother lived with my grandparents all under one roof. They helped with the raising of the children. So it just feels like there's been this shift in who's caring for who. People are living longer, but not necessarily better. Half of all caregivers who helped older adults do so for someone living with dementia, and 83% of those are family members, and many of them are still working.''   09:51 Four challenges facing caregivers Melissa said most caregivers are ‘'unpaid, untrained, overwhelmed and burned-out.'' ‘'Those would be my four (challenges facing caregivers). Time, cost, personal health, and training or resources. Time, I work a full-time job, and it's demanding. I absolutely love what I do and the organization I work for, but I am strained to find time for it all. I think that I'm not alone in that, and talking to my friends and reading a lot of things online. I know that time and its finiteness is that I just don't have enough of it. Also, money. If I've learned one thing, it's either I need to be extremely rich or incredibly poor. I know that sounds really blunt, but getting access to support and services for the majority of Americans right now is not feasible. If you can't afford help, then who's going to do all the work? Unpaid, untrained, overwhelmed, burned-out individuals, likely adult children, are that. I've become a bit of a cynic because I see my father in a nursing home, and my mom is paying $12,000 a month for his care, and the person in the bed next to him is on Medicaid and paying nothing. Again, I want care for everyone, but I'm also recognizing that I either need to be really well off, and then who's helping pay for college and all the other things and costs of living that are what they are? But money is, to me, a massive challenge. Personal health stress means personal needs move to the back burner. Physical and mental health are compromised. Case in point, I've had a couple of really bad mental health situations where I was overwhelmed to the point of even causing, I don't know what you call it, stress hives from head to toe. I have felt depleted. My eating, my movement, all things have been sacrificed at some point in time. I think a big challenge for caregivers is how does one... Because people say, "Oh, make time for yourself." When?''   15:10 Patients and their families are a unit Melissa outlined the difficulties in getting the right care for dementia patients.  ‘' Get us connected. Think of us as a unit. When my father was diagnosed with FTD, finally, after three years of trying to get help in a diagnosis, I started saying, "We all have FTD." Often, how we come into your systems is events. It's initiated, not as a preventative or proactive planned thing. It's usually a crisis.  I read something the other day that really hit to the problem that ends up in our emergency rooms. 75% of families have been about their needs with their older family members. As a result, they're showing up in the ER, and now the talk needs to happen. Believe it or not, these moments of crisis in the ER are often the first time that things are being discussed. So that's a case in point, and I'll share a little story about this, but I would say that before we end up in your ERs, our primary care providers have an opportunity that needs to be formally presented. That is conversations with their elder patients about what they do when something happens and get them set up to make sure that someone is supporting them. One of the biggest issues that I'm facing right now is that I don't feel connected to my mom's care. When she goes in, she goes in the morning, she spends 2.5 hours getting her hair and makeup done, and she does her very best to show time. That's a term that a lot of people know about, where we're going to show up and we're going to show that doctor, I am fantastic. Really, they're not. But if you start checking the boxes, do they have POA? Is somebody on their medical? Are they proxied? Are they part of the electronic health record? When your disease progresses, what plans do you have for your housing? You mentioned you live in a two-story home with no full bath on the first floor. What are your plans? I think these talks have to happen with the patient much sooner. I think that it has to be a part of the formal exam. I don't necessarily think that's happening because every time I try to have these conversations with my mom, I feel like we're talking about asking her to go relocate on the moon.''   27:11 What we don't measure doesn't matter Melissa said healthcare can't improve unless hospitals ask caregivers about their experience.  ‘'I felt like I was staying in all those situations, and what we don't measure doesn't matter. If we're not asking the right people many times, how can we learn if we don't ask the caregiver about their experience? We're not asking caregivers. I find that interesting because my mom in the hospital can't clearly even remember that she broke her hip and/or femur, and yet you're now sending her an after-patient survey. Then I'm looking at it, and I ask her, and she's like, "I don't know. I was on so many medications." Are you getting what you need to process improve? I don't know how, so I just want to call that out. Then for rural healthcare systems, which my parents are in a rural place, technology, I understand is expensive, but if you don't make investments in it for the caregiver, that's detrimental. The manner in which I have to communicate with my mom's primary care provider is woefully behind. The visit summaries are vague. They're not written in a way that I can decipher what they talked about in their exams. I'm actually heading to where my mom and dad are this Saturday, and I've asked for her next appointment, which I will be present in. Please tell me what your caregiver communications plan is moving forward. I'm asking, I want to know. Are we having a five-minute call after mom's appointment, or are you calling me in? Or are you going to start writing after visit summaries that don't remind me that my mom once had a C-section? That's the top of the notes. I'm like, "Come on, it says she's married, but it doesn't say she lives alone."    33:08 ‘'What do you think we should do?'' Melissa explained the difference when a doctor finally included her in decision-making.  ‘'I insert myself a ton, but it's sending it out there. So if she comes to visit me or I visit her, I always send a message back to her doctor and say, "Here are the four things, or whatever number." And I bullet them out, respecting her time, and I say, "This is what I'm seeing. You need to know this because you're not seeing this. Because you have 10 to 15 minutes with my mom on a visit, and she has all these things going on with her, but you're not seeing this." But let's just say this. So I mentioned my aunt's initial encounter with area hospitals and all the emergency rooms she attended. But the first one during her 10-day stay was where I finally felt like I was part of the team. The assigned hospitalist who had just come on for his next long shift, we got really lucky there, so we had one hospitalist at the beginning, which made it much better with me. He addressed my concerns. He huddled. We found times when I would say, "I'll be here today. When are you round?" And he'd tell me his rounding time. Then I would be like, I think he was impressed. He was like, "Okay, let's huddle." And he's like, "God, do you work in healthcare?" I knew what words to use, but he's always checking with me. He called me proactively. He even called me and asked me questions like, "What do you think?" There is nothing better. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about those conversations where he's like, "What do you think we should do? What do you think about the medications?" That's great. I wish more asked me for opinions and thoughts, I know not everyone is as involved.''   38:24 Creating pathways for dementia care Melissa urged hospitals to act now to develop a model of care for dementia.  ‘'Wherever they may be, caregivers as a group are coming together. Know that. There have been recent federal and state bills to address the rights and needs of caregivers at the policy level. In April, the president signed an executive order to increase access to high-quality care and supporting caregivers. The order directs health and human services to consider testing a new dementia care initiative that will include support for respite care and provide more support to family members, when caregivers, when a loved one is being discharged from the hospital, get ahead of it. Don't wait for the policies to be enacted. Differentiate now, and I'll say that again. Treat the patient and caregivers as a unit. Develop a model of care for dementia. I heard that UCLA designed a dementia care program. They tested it. It statistically reduced patient behavioral problems and lowered caregiver distress. It's not new news, but I ask myself, "Why hasn't this been widely spread?" We have pathways for cancer. We have pathways for cardiac and other diseases. Why should dementia be any different? Palliative or not, do not discard the needs for therapies and ongoing support.''    42:07 ‘'Don't shut us out‘' Melissa offered strategies to improve care and urged healthcare providers to consult caregivers.  ‘'Identify and evaluate your survey tools. What survey do you need? Do you really improve things? Does it even exist? I know and understand that CMS is the driver for most hospitals, but so is consumer choice. If you weren't talking to me, you don't know how I feel about your brand, you don't know how I feel about your system. That's critical. Yes, CMS, we need to look at them and think about what's missing in their metrics as it pertains to caregivers. But that's going to take more time. So why not now? And I think we should be looking at home health too. Transitions to home care, especially for dementia patients. Not just upon release from your brick and mortar. Where is the next opportunity? And challenge your models. Empower your teams to look at the care they provide through the lens of the caregiver. Incorporate more dementia training, and let us help it design it with you. That's my big one. Don't leave me out of it. Help me help you and be a part of that design. Ask me what you could do better. Ask me where you see opportunities. Tell me your pain points. So that's what I want to say, Jim. I think that's the big opportunity here. We're partners in care for our loved ones. Don't shut us out.''   Connect with Lisa Miller on LinkedIn Connect with Jim Cagliostro on LinkedIn Check out VIE Healthcare and SpendMend    You'll also hear:    Calling on hospitals to do better: ‘'It's all been made more challenging by not feeling like I'm seen or recognized by organizations and systems. I have experienced barriers. I've watched my own mom's rapid decline after years of being my dad's caregiver, and I keep having to ask myself, "Can't we do better?"  A difficult experience during hospital discharge: ‘'Those transitions in care have me thinking, "How can you just discharge her?" And it was very fast, like rapid fire. They wanted to get someone else in the bed…. I was thinking about when I was discharged after having my baby, which is a long time ago, but I got loads of help, classes beforehand, and follow-up. Why is the beginning of life so well orchestrated, but the end is not?'' An ‘'on the job training experience'': Why the best help for caregivers doesn't necessarily come from the doctor's office or on hospital discharge.  Caregivers need to be given more credibility and included in patient care: ‘'….just trying to get people to believe us is a big problem. They're asking the questions of (the patients). My aunt, when she was being bounced around the ERs, they were talking to her, but yet we're all over here shaking her head, going, "That's not true." Or, "That's not real." She was delusional. It sounded true. It sounded real, but it wasn't real.''

Often, this is accomplished by using a specific location, allowing audiences to converse with the actors and interact with their surroundings, thereby breaking the fourth wall.

If there's one thing we could imbibe from the lives of top investors, it is that we must plan our  finances properly. We're joined by one such investor, Jonathon Evans, on this episode. As an  experienced attorney at Anderson Business Advisors, he tells us the importance of proper planning  to achieve financial security, reduce taxes, and protect assets.  Jonathan advises us on the potential pitfalls and recommends structuring investments through  limited liability companies (LLCs) to provide asset protection and separate personal and business  assets. He emphasizes that owning investments through an LLC shields personal assets from  potential legal claims and highlights the significance of selecting the right state and obtaining  correct documentation. He also delves into tax planning strategies, highlighting the differences  between earned income, passive income, and portfolio income. Jonathan tells us that not all types  of income are taxed equally and mentions that the wealthy often select the most advantageous  types of income to minimize taxes.  Today's conversation teaches us how continuously investing in real estate and utilizing tax breaks  can provide ongoing tax advantages. When properties are sold, the income can be reinvested into  new properties through the same LLC, allowing for ongoing tax benefits. It also tells us how it's like  using a 1031 exchange to defer taxes when reinvesting in similar properties, introduces the  concept of legacy planning, and highlights the importance of creating a living trust to facilitate the  transfer of assets to family members after death.  Key Takeaways Proper planning, including structuring investments through LLCs, is crucial for financial  security and asset protection. Selecting the right state and obtaining correct documentation are important when setting  up LLCs. Avoid common mistakes like grouping risky investments with others in the same LLC. Seek expertise in legal, tax, and investment areas to maximize tax efficiency and protect  assets Differentiate between earned income, passive income, and portfolio income for tax  planning. Real estate investments offer tax advantages, such as cost segregation and rapid  depreciation. Continuously investing in real estate and utilizing tax breaks provide ongoing tax  advantages. Consider legacy planning and create a living trust for asset transfer and protection. Understand the benefits and limitations of self-directed IRAs and solo 401(k)s for investing  through retirement accounts. Consult a tax advisor for personalized guidance and recommendations. “One of the first things that I recommend people do is they take a look at how you are actually  going to own these investments. Are you planning on just buying them in your personal name? Are  you going to be doing something else with them?” - Jonathan Evans Connect with Jonathon LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathon-evans-17a51364 Connect with Viking Capital Website - https://www.vikingcapllc.com

Why Freehand Direct Composites will Thrive in the Digital WorldEpisode #603 with Dr. Dennis HartliebDigital workflows are becoming more and more popular, but what happens when the results aren't perfect? Today, Kirk Behrendt brings on Dr. Dennis Hartlieb, an expert in cosmetic dentistry, to explain why freehand direct composites are still important in an increasingly digital world.

Also, there's a can't that you weren't anticipating, even though you did everything that you thought was right. Maybe the teeth are too long, maybe the teeth are too short. Even though you use your digital smile design, that's not exactly what you thought it would be. So it's incumbent that as dentists, we still recognize that we have to use our hands. You know, this is what we're about. We still need to be able to use our hands. And for me, freehand composites mean the ability to be able to layer composites, place composites, be able to contour composites and polish composites by hand to create the shape and the texture and the contour and the form that we want and that we need. And while I think it's fine and great to be able to use guides to help us along, I think ultimately, if we're just going to be dependent on a digital workflow, there's going to be times when you're going to fall short and you're going to need to have the skills to be able to meet the expectations of the patients or maybe meet your own expectations of what you...

Have you ever noticed how many vitamin options there are at a drug store? If not, you should know there are hundreds. It is bloody overwhelming.  All these vitamins got us thinking about differentiation. If your product isn't that different from another, like a B-12 vitamin, how do you differentiate yourself from the competition?  Vitamin companies are not alone here. One of our listeners wrote in with a business pickle about differentiation on how to have it in an ever-competitive market. The answer lies in the experience. But how? What does differentiation even mean? And what does B-12 do for you anyway? (It does lots of stuff, by the way; you should probably take it if you don't get enough.) When you are too close to something, you might have a hard time seeing what your differentiation could be. Your usually helpful depth of offering knowledge can be a hinderance. The nuances of competitive improvement might be authentic but too deep in the minutiae to distinguish you.  In other words, your competitive advantage might be real, but really boring to your customers. So, instead of coming up with something that is a competitive differentiator, you come up with this minor detail, emphasizing something the customer doesn't care about or doesn't recognize they should. Therefore, it takes an outside perspective sometimes to see what is possible regarding differentiation. And sometimes, this differentiation from the outside is disruptive and turns everything in your industry on its ear.  In this episode, we explore the ways our listener and you can differentiate yourself from the competition. As a bonus, we package it into five rules that you can use to drive your actions.  Here are some other key moments in the discussion: 06:44  We kick off the discussion with the first rule, which tells us that different means different and not just a little different. (They do get better, we promise.) 10:07  We get into the discussion about how disruption is often the key to differentiation that matters; otherwise, everyone ends up chasing the same goals and having little variance from one another.   17:50  We introduce the third rule, which is define the Who and the How Much, two key areas for besting the competition.  22:49 Rule number four says what are you going to differentiate on, meaning what area of your offering will be your competitive advantage.  25:35 We introduce the last rule, which is shamelessly bias, that experience is the hardest thing for your competitor to copy.  _________________________________________________________________ Did you know we have a YouTube Channel too? Check it out here.

For the past decade or so, exceptional marketing has been the Queen differentiator for coaches, online educators and leaders.The hype, scarcity, urgency, list of bonuses, price increases, and glowing testimonials have vacuumed hundreds and thousands of well-meaning people into large scale programs. Many of who come out on the other side feeling duped and jaded.The tides are turning and great marketing alone will no longer differentiate a brand, a business, or a “popular” program.Client experience, student (adult) learning, personalization, culture, and accommodating various learning/processing styles is going to be the next big differentiator for coaching and education based programs from now on.Follow Megan Huber's Socials:LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook | Retreats | Consulting
