It is Marta's third career shift, becoming a psychotherapist, after 20 years in healthcare and having worked in academia before! Across this wide career and lived experience, she knew that she wanted to bring it all into her work in her private practice.  Additionally, Marta had been helped by many people when she was getting started, which is what encouraged her to pay it forward by offering supervision and mentorship to new and upcoming clinicians.  In this podcast episode, Marta and I discuss pivoting from full-time to work full-time in private practice, how to hire the right people, and how to maintain the soul of therapy within the growing business. Join us for a great conversation!  MEET MARTA Marta Evans, RP, M.Ed., C.C.C., is a psychotherapist and certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist based in Hamilton, Ontario. She's the founder of Evans Family Counselling & Psychotherapy, a heart-led group practice specializing in transformational therapies like IFS and EMDR for individuals navigating complex trauma, grief, and life transitions. Known for her warm, authentic presence and “gentle but spicy” approach, Marta is a strong advocate for trauma-informed care that challenges the limitations of the traditional medical model. At EFCP, she and her team prioritize respectful, collaborative care that supports deep healing and change by addressing root causes rather than just managing symptoms. Learn more about Marta on her practice website, Psychology Today, and Facebook profiles.  In this episode:  Starting private practice Diversifying your experience  Building up a group practice  Marta's advice to listeners  Starting the private practice As Marta explains, being a psychotherapist is her third career. She worked for a long time in academia and as a radiation therapist in oncology before transitioning to psychotherapy.  With her private practice, Marta started it part-time initially before getting to the point where she had enough clients to move into working in the practice full-time.  She worked for some time in a group private practice while building up her own.  Diversifying your experience After Marta completed her Master's degree, and while she was building up her private practice and working in another group practice, she got as involved as she could over the span of about seven years - before going full private practice - to soak up as much experience as possible.  She knew that her degree was valuable, but that she simultaneously wanted to have a lot more experience under her belt, which can only be acquired through working directly with people.  Building up a group practice Marta developed her solo practice into a group practice in January 2024s. She decided to grow her private practice because she wanted to have a community of therapists around her, she wanted to stop turning clients away, and she wanted to start supervising and mentoring new clinicians.  Now, Marta has associates and mentees - she wants to help them nourish their passions and to provide an essential service that she herself benefited from. In a way, she's paying it forward. Marta's advice to listeners Slow is fast! Be intentional. Don't lose the soul of therapy by getting too caught up in the business aspects of running a private practice. Work closely with your values while heading closer to your goals.  Connect with me: Instagram Website  Resources mentioned and useful links: Kayleen Edwards: Private Practice Growth and Planning for Maternity Leave | EP 174  Learn more about the tools and deals that I love and use for my Canadian private practice Sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice Jane App (use code FEARLESS for one month free) Get some help and freebies on your website with WordPress!  Learn more about Marta on her practice website, Psychology Today, and Facebook profiles  Rate, review, and subscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, and TuneIn

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Michael Taylor of Parable Property, who spent years working as a GP before deciding it was time for a complete change. Michael shares how he left behind the security of medicine to take on the uncertainty of building his own property portfolio - something many people dream about but few have the courage to actually do.What I love about Michael's story is how honest he is about the journey. He faced big setbacks at the start, but instead of walking away, he stuck with it, learned from the experience, and pushed forward. Today, he's running a successful property business, supporting others, and proving what's possible when you back yourself and commit.This conversation is a brilliant reminder that it's never too late to start again, and that persistence and resilience are often more important than getting everything right the first time.Here's what we cover in the episode:02:34 Transitioning from Medicine to Property Investment14:47 Overcoming Initial Setbacks in Property Deals17:41 The Importance of Support and Networking23:37 Choosing the Right Location for Investment27:02 Building Relationships with Contractors29:41 Diversifying into Supported Living-

Innovate or die, that's the new rule of thumb for rural pubs around Ireland who are diversifying like never before. But will film screenings and portable saunas be enough to safeguard their future? Newstalk's Sarah Madden reports:

Farm Credit Canada says it's time to rethink where Canadian food ends up. A new report by FCC highlights a $12-billion opportunity to diversify exports beyond the U.S. Right now, more than three-quarters of Canada's food and beverage exports head south of the border. FCC President Justine Hendricks says that leaves farmers and processors exposed. In a statement she says “Diversifying food and beverage exports beyond the U.S. will not only strengthen producers' resilience but also benefit Canadian consumers and the broader economy.”

Nonprofits are often drawn to the idea of being 'self-sustaining.' Alternative revenue streams—like charging fees for services or partnering with for-profits—can sound appealing as ways to diversify income. But public charities must maintain broad donor support, and too much revenue from non-donation sources could even put their tax-exempt status at risk. In this episode of the PBPA Podcast, Amy Dosik joins us to answer common questions about social enterprise and what nonprofits need to know to stay compliant when adopting new revenue streams.

“All trading days are crazy in September,” Louise Goudy Willmering laughs. She discusses the Fed's dual mandate, and while she expects a 25-basis-point potential rate cut next week, she's not sure about moves after that. “The wait and see is ok at this point.” She emphasizes the importance of staying diversified, calling back to tech's April sell off. She also argues that the dollar may stay weaker, creating international opportunities.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ben Fishbein — founder of Fishbein Orthodontics, multiple-time DeNovo opener, bagel store entrepreneur, and Smile Doctors partner — to break down one of the most misunderstood topics in orthodontics today: DSOs, OSOs, and what it really means to join one.If you've ever said, “I'm not ready,” “I could never give up control,” or “I don't need help,” this episode is for you. Ben was once a staunch no—until he actually had the conversation. Now, with multiple thriving practices, ownership in a national DSO, and an expanding local business portfolio, he shares what changed his mind—and why most orthodontists are asking the wrong questions entirely.Whether you're exploring a potential sale, considering DeNovos, or just want to sharpen your vision, this episode will reframe how you think about your career path—and the opportunities right in front of you.QUOTES"The most frustrating thing to me is when someone says, ‘I'm not ready to talk yet.' Why are you not ready to learn something that might be so good it changes your life?"— Dr. Glenn Krieger"I was a naysayer too. I told the Smile Doctors team, ‘There's less than a 2% chance I do this.' Then I listened—and it all started making sense."— Dr. Ben FishbeinKey Takeaways04:50 – Why so many orthodontists dismiss DSOs without ever really hearing the facts06:50 – “30 years in 7” — how Ben's early hustle shaped his future faster08:36 – Why listening to opportunities is part of your duty to your team10:15 – Why selling a practice isn't selling out—and how orthodontists misjudge entrepreneurship15:12 – How partnering opened Ben's eyes to investments he never considered before16:48 – The surprisingly valuable business lessons from running a bagel shop20:19 – Why Smile Doctors' DeNovo model works—and how it's redefining growth24:18 – “Get the information.

What happens when a former engineer and Shark Tank entrepreneur applies a product developer's mindset to real estate? Alvin Uy has been focused on real estate in Los Angeles for 22 years, doing construction, fix-and-flips, short-term rentals, ADUs, SB9, and most recently, senior living. In this episode, Alvin shares how he built wealth by treating real estate like a product, creating solutions that attract tenants instead of chasing them. From maximizing returns through ADUs and rent-by-the-room strategies to developing co-living and senior housing models inspired by personal experience, Alvin reveals the creative approaches that have allowed him to thrive in one of the nation's toughest markets. He also opens up about today's challenges with capital raising and investor expectations, while offering an optimistic outlook on Los Angeles real estate as the city prepares for global events and a new wave of growth.Key Points From This Episode:Alvin Uy's pursuit of real estate after seeing his immigrant parents lose everything.How Alvin transitioned from aerospace engineering and design into real estate by leveraging creativity and side hustles like flipping homes.What appearing on Shark Tank taught him: the value of betting on himself instead of selling out early.How viewing real estate as a product helped Alvin by shifting his focus from chasing deals to creating solutions people chase.Building ADUs in Los Angeles to force appreciation and cash flow.Boosting his returns by pivoting to rent-by-the-room models that maximized market rents and tenant turnover benefits.Partnering with a construction team that allows scalable, cost-efficient builds.Diversifying by experimenting with co-living models like student housing, assisted living, and sober living.Managing investor expectations and navigating market uncertainty with high-end flips.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Alvin Uy on LinkedIn Alvin Uy on Instagram Alvin Uy on X AARK Investments Rich Dad, Poor DadAsset Management Mastery Facebook Group Invest SmartBreak of Day Capital Break of Day Capital InstagramBreak of Day Capital YouTubeGary Lipsky on LinkedIn

Increasing flexibility on the electric grid is necessary as demand and capacity requirements rapidly rise. Diversifying generation portfolios with emerging technologies is a good start, and significant T&D investments in innovations like virtual power plants can help match supply with demand. Cost, construction, and timing are often challenges to increasing flexibility; therefore, what solutions are going to make the most impact to help meet energy needs? Joining us to discuss these important topics about flexibility are Dr. William (Bill) Burke, CEO at Virtual Peaker, Jessica Matlock, CEO at PNGC Power, and Darren Murtaugh, Director of Electric Distribution Strategy at ICF.

Hire Yourself Podcast with Pete GilfillanAI isn't just coming for entry-level jobs—it's coming for the boardroom.In this episode, Pete Gilfillan dives deep into a question most corporate executives haven't fully faced yet: Could AI replace your job? With rapid advances in automation, data-driven decision-making, and AI leadership tools, even high-level roles are now at risk. Pete breaks down 8 reasons why senior-level executives aren't immune—and why it's time to have a Plan B.In this episode, Pete discusses:Routine Task AutomationAI tools like RPA (Robotic Process Automation) are now handling scheduling, spreadsheet management, and data tracking—tasks many executives touch daily.Cost Efficiency PressuresWith AI reducing labor costs and improving productivity, companies are downsizing—even at the top—to stay competitive.AI Decision-Making CapabilitiesNo longer just a data assistant, AI can now interpret massive datasets and recommend strategic actions, traditionally an executive's job.Operational StreamliningFrom marketing to supply chains, AI is optimizing core functions. Companies need fewer leaders when tech handles execution.Productivity Gains Mean Fewer PeopleOne executive using AI can now produce what used to take a team of 10. That's good for efficiency—and bad for headcount.Industry-Wide DisruptionAI is transforming finance, manufacturing, and logistics. Roles are being consolidated, restructured, or eliminated entirely.AI in LeadershipYes, some companies are testing AI in high-level decision-making roles. It's not just assisting leadership—it's becoming leadership.Economic Downturn AccelerationRecessions and market shifts are speeding up AI adoption. As businesses cut costs, AI is replacing roles—especially expensive ones.Key Takeaways:AI isn't just automating tasks—it's replacing strategic roles.Executives are not immune—AI is already making leadership decisions in some companies.The time to prepare for disruption is now—not after a layoff.Diversifying your income and building a Plan B is critical.Franchising can offer control, income security, and a future outside of corporate uncertainty.“If you think AI won't affect your executive role—you're already behind. The best time to build your Plan B is before you need it.” — Pete GilfillanCONNECT WITH PETE GILFILLAN:

Purpose and fulfillment are crucial in retirement; many underestimate this transition. Community involvement can significantly enhance the retirement experience. Cash management is vital during the transition to retirement to avoid emotional roller coasters. The 4% rule is outdated and overly conservative for many retirees. Flexible withdrawal strategies can provide more confidence and adaptability in retirement spending. Mistakes in retirement planning can have severe consequences due to the lack of time to recover. Diversifying investments is essential to manage risks during retirement. Having a cash war chest can help weather financial storms during retirement. The best investment plan is one that aligns with your personal goals and allows for flexibility.

Ross Simmonds breaks down how AI overviews and LLMs are changing search—and what small businesses can do to keep winning. We dig into why brand and owned channels matter more than ever, how to diversify beyond Google, which third-party domains LLMs love to cite, and a simple focus formula for content distribution. Key TakeawaysThe SERP is shifting to answers and transactions; fewer clicks to your site means brand + owned channels are mission-critical. Now is the time to publish unique, story-driven content that LLMs can cite later. Create assets your “future you” will be grateful for. Diversify discovery: show up where buyers research (TikTok, Pinterest, Instagram, Etsy), not just on Google. Search behavior has shifted—people use Instagram/YouTube/TikTok for ideas and how-tos; optimize for those journeys. To influence LLM answers, seed multiple authoritative domains (LinkedIn, Reddit, Medium, Quora) with your message. “Be excellent on one channel” first; syndicate elsewhere even if it's not perfect—then expand. Optimize your life too: sleep and calendars drive better marketing than nonstop grind. Listener Action ItemsPick your “home” channel and get excellent at it for 90 days; syndicate the same posts to 2 other platforms with light edits. Publish 3–5 unique, story-rich assets this month that your future self wants LLMs to cite. Seed third-party domains (LinkedIn article, Reddit thread, Medium post, Quora answer) with your core message to boost LLM citation odds. Audit discovery: can buyers find you on Pinterest/Instagram/TikTok/Etsy for your “money” searches? If not, claim and optimize profiles. Protect your energy: schedule sleep, workouts, and weekly calendar reviews before adding new marketing experiments. Connect With Ross:LinkedinGet Ross's book: Create Once, Distribute Forever Text me your questions or comments!Does SEO feel confusing, overwhelming, or just plain impossible to figure out?

On this episode of Trust the Plan Podcast with Nick Hopwood, CFP® and Preston Gee, CFP® of Peak Wealth, the focus was on the rising availability of private investments within 401(k) plans. They discussed how options like private equity and private credit, while traditionally reserved for institutional investors, are slowly being introduced into retirement accounts through specialized structures. Although access is still limited and not open to all participants, regulatory changes and industry innovation are beginning to pave the way. Nick and Preston emphasized that while these investments can offer diversification and long-term growth potential, they come with added complexity and are best suited for well-informed investors with a long time horizon. — Peak Wealth Management is a financial planning and wealth management firm in Plymouth, MI.

What happens when two people with a shared vision for community, craftsmanship, and legacy decide to take the leap into shop ownership? For Scott and his wife, the answer is Delaware Metals. In this inspiring conversation, Scott Bruneau shares how he and his wife purchased a decades-old, well-run machine shop—not as a quick flip, but as a long-term investment in American manufacturing, their team, and their community.  With over 20 years in the industry himself, Scott knew the road ahead would be demanding. But armed with a clear “why,” a strong culture-first mindset, and a willingness to learn from both successes and mistakes, he's been steering Delaware Metals into new markets, upgrading capabilities, and building a younger, highly skilled workforce. We cover everything from the buying process and financing tips, to shop layout improvements, training strategies, and the reality of recruiting in today's tight labor market.

If your organisation is stretched thin trying to chase every funding opportunity, or you've been told to “diversify your income” without any roadmap, this episode is for you.KEY TAKEAWAYIncome should fit your size, mission, and capacity; not just follow what others are doing.Trading income can offer freedom, but only if you know your breakeven point and have capacity to deliver.Individual donations require strong community relationships and admin systems to manage them well.Diversifying income doesn't mean doing more—it means doing what works for you and doing it well.BEST MOMENTS"Just because something brings in income doesn't mean it's worth it. If it's burning you out or pulling you off mission, it's not a fit.""You don't need five income streams to be sustainable; you need one or two that are working really well.""Don't fall into the trap of trying to be a venue manager when your real work is with people."ABOUT YOUR HOSTAishat operates her own bookkeeping and accounting services practice –BAnC Services – which focuses primarily on serving non-profits.
