From homes to health care, you and I need to advocate for yourself. You have choices and you have power. You can take action and you do have choices. My Guest: Karen Mulroy is an attorney who retired at age 62 without regret to spend quality time with her parents until their death at the ages of 97 and 98. They passed away within 4 months of each other, followed by the death of her former husband, with whom she maintained a close relationship. She has navigated the challenges, rewards and emotional aftermath of caring for loved ones through their final moments. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:06:13] What is your background and life experience? [00:08:52] What were your challenges and rewards of caring for aging loved ones? [00:18:55] What is your advocacy for aging loved ones? [00:39:00] Do you have any tips to redefine and reclaim life after loss? [00:35:04] Any other tips for midlife and older women about how to advocate for yourself? Practical Advice for Non-Lawyers: Steps for dealing with home or health issues: Make a record Take pictures/videos Get expert opinions Escalate reasonably You don't need to “lawyer up” immediately—just document and ask respectfully. It's important to ask questions, trust your gut, and speak up—especially when others can't. Key Takeaways Being an advocate starts with asking questions. You don't have to be a lawyer to advocate effectively. Documentation, curiosity, and assertiveness help. Even intelligent, experienced people can fall into denial. Advocacy requires persistence and compassion. End-of-life care should align with the patient's values. Knowing and honoring their wishes is crucial. You have more power than you think—use it wisely. Especially with institutions like healthcare or builders. Support systems matter. Having another person to back your advocacy—like a nurse practitioner in the family—can amplify your voice.

Summary In this conversation, the panel discusses various challenges in the healthcare industry, focusing on the roles of students in medical practices, the complexities of Medicaid, and the implications of proposed CMS regulations on skin substitutes. They emphasize the importance of compliance, accurate documentation, and the need for providers to be aware of the evolving landscape of healthcare regulations and billing practices.TakeawaysStudents cannot perform or do any work that is billable and reimbursable.Documentation is key to halting audits and investigations.Medicaid faces challenges with enrollment and funding.Providers must understand the billing rules for students and graduates.AI can lead to cloning in documentation if not used carefully.Vendors must be held accountable for their products and claims.The EMR is a tool that requires proper management and understanding.Medicaid managed care plans can be poorly managed and lead to issues.Providers need to be cautious of schemes in billing practices.Skin substitutes are becoming a focal point for compliance and billing scrutiny.
In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche delve into the often-overlooked yet crucial topic of customer success. Revisiting a previous episode, "Customer Success - Delivering value on a budget," with AI's help, they reframe how developers and founders can deliver long-term value—even on a limited budget. “Customer success isn't optional—it's how you grow sustainably.” Unlike reactive customer support, customer success is a proactive mindset. It ensures that what you build helps users meet their goals, reduce friction, and ultimately drive business results—for both them and you. The Key Difference: Support Reacts. Success Delivers. Many developers conflate customer support with customer success, but they serve very different roles: Support fixes problems when users hit a wall. Success removes those walls altogether. Callout: “When you build for success, you become an investment—not just a cost.” Developers should aim to reduce effort, automate pain points, and align solutions with customer outcomes. That's when your work becomes mission-critical. Busting the Budget Myth A common misconception is that customer success programs are a luxury reserved only for large companies. The truth? Small teams may need it even more. Michael shares a real-world example: After years of manually maintaining a client's outdated systems, a simple upgrade cut service time from three days to four hours. That's budget-friendly success with measurable ROI.

We explore the inefficiencies of traditional maintenance workflows and how technology can eliminate the frustrating guesswork and communication breakdowns that plague property managers.• Traditional maintenance processes involve multiple communication points that waste valuable time• Documentation is critical – the number one reason insurance claims get rejected is lack of maintenance notes• Visibility of maintenance jobs helps both property managers and tenants track progress and resolution• System automation creates consistency regardless of property manager experience levels• Detailed maintenance records provide accountability for all parties when mistakes happen• The Property Maintenance Index provides quarterly data on common maintenance issues and costs by state• Offshore team members can effectively manage maintenance when given proper responsibility and tools• Implementing new technology requires full team commitment rather than partial adoption• The goal is to help property managers feel in control of maintenance rather than overwhelmed by itThink maintenance, think TAPI.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training With clients increasingly expecting their agencies to leverage AI, are you waiting for client direction, or leading the way on how to use it? Today's featured guest has a unique vantage point on this shift. He runs a platform that connects clients with credible agencies while helping agencies showcase their expertise, giving him a front-row seat to what clients truly want and what agencies fear about AI. With hundreds of thousands of agencies on his platform, he's seen firsthand that the agencies standing out are the ones leading the AI conversation, not waiting for permission to start it. He'll share why educating your clients on the possibilities of AI is now a competitive advantage and how his company's new verification layer aims to bring trust and clarity to an increasingly crowded agency marketplace. Tim Condon is the Chief Revenue Officer at Clutch, the largest B2B service provider marketplace online, boasting over 300,000 agencies. Tim helps agencies showcase services, collect reviews, and attract qualified buyers. With a front-row seat to the challenges and wins of agencies across industries, Tim sees exactly how the best adapt—and how others risk falling behind. Tim has been on the show before with advice on how agency owners can separate from the pack and position their agencies for success. In this episode, we'll discuss: Is AI coming for your agency? Document your AI processes before it gets expensive. How you should be starting the AI conversation. The power of documented proof. Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources This episode is brought to you by Wix Studio: If you're leveling up your team and your client experience, your site builder should keep up too.

Ready to design faster and smarter? Go to wix.com/studio to get started. Is AI Coming for Your Agency? It Depends The elephant in every agency Slack channel: Will AI replace us? Tim sees a spectrum. Some agencies think they're immune (“We only serve local dentists, so we're safe.”), while others are already using AI to transform delivery, productizing what used to be manual labor into scalable SaaS products for other agencies. Most agencies are stuck in the middle - unsure where to begin and afraid to fall behind. Basically, if your clients are tech-savvy DIYers, yes, you're at risk. But 99% of clients aren't like that. They want the results AI brings, but they don't want to build or manage it themselves. Hence, those who adopt AI to streamline delivery and elevate their positioning—not those who ignore it or just dabble, will win. AI Isn't a Threat. It's Your Edge AI is already making agencies faster, leaner, and more profitable if they leverage it correctly: Custom GPTs for marketing, sales training, and operations Automated research and lead qualification Speeding up delivery while maintaining quality Tim shared an example of a San Francisco agency using LLMs to automate internal processes. It wasn't complicated: structured folders, an AI model to search and output organized results. Simple, but powerful. If your agency isn't at least experimenting with AI to remove repetitive manual work, you're falling behind—not because AI will replace you, but because other agencies will outpace you by using AI to do what you do, faster and cheaper. Document Your AI Processes Now (Before It Gets Expensive) AI pricing today is like Uber in the early days: cheap to get you hooked, but it won't last. AI's current affordability is saving agencies the equivalent of multiple salaries annually. Eventually, these tools will increase in price to reflect their true value. What can you do about this? Jason recommends documenting your workflows and data used to train custom GPTs or AI agents now. If pricing spikes or a model goes down, you can pivot to another provider without losing your institutional knowledge. Why Agencies Must Shift from Order-Takers to Advisors Most agencies fail not because they lack skills, but because they act like order-takers. As a clients, it's frustrating for Jason when agencies ask, “What do you want us to do?” instead of showing him what's possible. Remember that as agencies, your purpose is to solve problems for your clients. Clients (dentists, local businesses, even large brands) don't know what's possible with AI. They think it's just a fancy chatbot. If you step up to educate and advise clients on what's possible with AI, you become indispensable. Look to build systems that: Research prospects automatically before calls Automate competitor and market analysis Help clients leverage AI in their workflows Agencies that step into this advisor role, showing clients what's possible and taking accountability for delivering results, become irreplaceable. You're not just executing tasks; you're creating outcomes they can't create alone, and that's where real value lies. Don't Be Another “Nomad Agency.” Be the Real Deal Too many people who failed at running agencies pivot into teaching how to run an agency while living the “digital nomad” lifestyle, without having actually built sustainable businesses. This creates noise and mistrust in the marketplace, making it harder for real agencies to stand out. Most of the time, agency owners are accidental entrepreneurs—people who mastered a skill and were asked to help, not those who started for the lifestyle. If you're listening to this, you're likely the latter. To stand out, you need to showcase not just what you can do but what you've actually done. Your wins, client results, and case studies speak louder than lifestyle photos on Instagram. The Power of Specific, Documented Proof If you want to stand out from the fly-by-night agencies, talk specifics. Others mostly speak in generalities. Instead, credible agencies share specifics. If you can clearly articulate, “Here's the exact problem we solved for a client just like you,” then you instantly separate yourself from the pack. Tools like Clutch help because they use AI to pull themes from your reviews to match buyer intent, but your agency still needs to collect, showcase, and share detailed case studies and client stories. Documentation matters. If you're working with SMBs or mid-market clients, they want to see clear, verified results before investing. When you can present proof, it's hard for low-quality competitors to compete, no matter how flashy their pitch decks look. Start gathering your “receipts” now to future-proof your positioning. Verification Adds Trust in a Crowded Marketplace Tim's company Clutch now offers Clutch Verified as an additional trust layer. They don't just take your word for it; they check your business registration, credit history, and operating longevity to separate real agencies from “gaming-the-system” players. It's a powerful way to signal to potential clients, “We're credible, stable, and vetted.” For clients, it's a good indicator of who you'll be working with and for agencies it becomes a sales asset. When potential clients research you on Clutch, verified agencies are prioritized, giving you an edge over competitors. It's a practical, low-cost step to build trust and signal legitimacy, especially if you're competing for premium clients. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

In an age of vibe coding and LLMs, do we really need to care about documentation? Do we need to spend time and energy producing it — time when we could just be shipping code? Of course we do; particularly if we want to communicate and share software with other humans. To discuss documentation in 2025, Technology Podcast host Lilly Ryan is joined by Heidi Waterhouse, a very special guest with an esteemed and varied career in technical communcation. In this episode, Lilly and Heidi tackle the challenges of documentation in a world increasingly infused with AI-generated code and text, explore whether prompt engineering is really just technical writing in disguise and examine the difficulties of writing for highly specific audiences. They also cover Heidi's Progressive Delivery, an upcoming book about bridging the gap between software delivery and business value. It's due to be released in the latter part of 2025 and written alongside James Governor, Kim Harrison and Adam Zimman.

Send us a textIn this insightful episode of the Business Growth Talks podcast, Mark Hayward dives into the transformational lessons extracted from Michael E. Gerber's influential book, "The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It." This discussion is packed with practical insights for entrepreneurs and small business owners who are eager to break free from the burnout cycle and scale their operations effectively. Through a detailed exploration of Gerber's core lessons, Mark empowers listeners with the strategies necessary to transition from merely working in their businesses to successfully working on their businesses.The episode kicks off by debunking the "Entrepreneurial Myth," which is the misleading belief that skill in your craft automatically translates into business success. Throughout the episode, SEO-friendly themes such as small business growth, entrepreneurial freedom, and systematization are thoroughly explored. Mark breaks down Gerber's nine essential lessons, emphasizing the importance of system-building over dependency and the need for a balanced approach among the technician, manager, and entrepreneur roles. Listeners are encouraged to adopt a strategic mindset, documenting processes and creating clear organizational structures even if they are solopreneurs, in order to elevate their ventures from self-reliant jobs to thriving, self-sufficient businesses.Key Takeaways:Understanding the Entrepreneurial Myth: Possessing a skill doesn't guarantee successful business ownership; you must build a business model around your expertise.Balancing Business Roles: Every entrepreneur plays the roles of technician, manager, and entrepreneur; neglecting any of these roles can hinder business growth.Systems Over Dependence: Establishing systems facilitates business growth and sustainability; without them, you're merely creating a job for yourself.Documentation is Key: Logging processes and tasks is crucial for scaling and sustaining business operations, especially for solopreneurs.Personal Development Equals Business Growth: The business is a reflection of the owner's skills and organization; personal development directly impacts business success.Resources:Michael E.

Send us feedback or episode suggestions.In this episode, Chris Strahl talks with Elyse Holladay—staff design engineer at Color Health and host of On Theme—about the evolution of design systems and how AI is reshaping the way we think about abstraction, collaboration, and contribution. They explore what it means to maintain relevance in a landscape where LLMs increasingly influence product development, and reflect on whether design systems are still for people—or for machines. Elyse shares a clear-eyed yet optimistic take on how AI can enhance, rather than replace, the work of design system practitioners.Key Points:Design systems are shifting focus from components to solving collaboration and workflow problems.AI isn't replacing systems—it's changing how they're used and what they need to support.Smaller teams can move faster by focusing on what's most valuable, not doing everything.Documentation is evolving to prioritize practical guidance over polished presentations.Design systems are becoming infrastructure for both humans and AI.View the transcript of this episode.Check out our upcoming events.If you want to get in touch with the show, ask some questions, or tell us what you think, send us a message over on LinkedIn.GuestElyse Holladay (she/her) is a long-time Design Systems practitioner and speaker, currently the Staff Design Engineer for Color Health's Continuum Design System.

In this episode of the Building Better Developers with AI podcast, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit a popular past topic: the power of documentation. Instead of repeating the same points, they used ChatGPT to surface fresh talking points and spark a new conversation. This wasn't about using AI to generate documentation, but using it to revisit, reflect, and dive deeper into the value of documenting your development work. The result is a renewed appreciation for one of the most overlooked parts of software development—and how to make it better. The Power of Documentation: Why We Resist, But Still Need It “Good documentation might not get noticed—but bad or missing documentation definitely will.” Most developers avoid documentation. It's viewed as: Time-consuming Low ROI Secondary to writing “clean code” But as Rob and Michael explain, the power of documentation becomes obvious when someone new joins the team, when you return to your own code months later, or when something breaks in production. Without documentation, your project becomes fragile—even dangerous. Using AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can help kick-start outlines, clarify intentions, and even summarize logic to make documenting easier. The Power of Documentation in Planning: Comment-Driven Development “Don't just write code—write your thinking process.” One of the key strategies Rob shares is comment-driven development. Start by outlining your logic and workflow using plain-language comments or pseudocode. This mirrors how many AI tools generate code: from your intent to executable logic. Michael supports this with a reminder that self-documenting code—through clear naming, logical structure, and readable syntax—is also a form of documentation. Helpful tools: JSDoc Doxygen Sphinx Notion AI The Power of Documentation as a Force Multiplier “Documentation doesn't just explain—it accelerates.” Rob and Michael stress that the power of documentation isn't just about code comments—it's about velocity, quality, and reliability. Good documentation: Speeds up onboarding Reduces bugs and confusion Enables DevOps and automated testing Clarifies communication across teams Tools like Swagger and Postman transform API docs into live interfaces—letting you test endpoints, view examples, and generate clients with ease. The Power of Documentation: What It Costs to Skip It “If you don't write it down, it walks out the door with your last developer.” Michael shares stories of undocumented systems that became impossible to maintain when key developers left. Even worse is documentation that exists—but is never updated. Best practices: Keep docs near the code (e.g., Markdown in repo) Automate updates with tools like MkDocs Treat documentation like testing: part of your done definition Pro tip: Add documentation as a checklist item in your development tickets. Don't consider a task complete until it's explained clearly. The Power of Documentation in Practice: Where to Start “Every project deserves a README, a runbook, and a little foresight.” Rob and Michael outline the foundational documentation every project should have: README.md — Overview, build/setup steps, key dependencies Code comments — Especially around complex or non-obvious logic API documentation — Inputs, outputs, examples Architecture diagrams — System design and flow Runbooks — Deployment, recovery, and incident response Testing strategy — How to verify features and stability These documents preserve the power of documentation and ensure long-term maintainability, even as teams and tools evolve. Developer Challenge: Take One Step This Week Your challenge from the episode: Pick one area of your project—just one—and improve its documentation this week. Update the README. Create a runbook. Add clear inline comments to a tricky method. If you're not sure where to start, use AI to outline your intent or help create a checklist. Tag your results with #DevDocChallenge and share how you're strengthening the power of documentation in your work. Final Thoughts: Let AI Inspire, But Let Documentation Lead In this episode, Rob and Michael didn't use AI to do the documentation. They used it to start a better conversation about why it matters.

In this episode of the Knowledgebase Ninjas Podcast, Laura Novich, Lead Technical Writer at Salesforce, shares what truly makes a documentation toolchain effective. It's not just about the tools themselves, but how seamlessly they integrate into team workflows—and how confident contributors feel using them. Laura explains why features like content reuse, automation, and collaboration only add value when they align with the needs of different contributors—developers, product managers, support teams, and non-technical writers alike. She emphasizes the importance of training that meets non-technical users where they are, engaging with writing communities, and leveraging AI to bridge knowledge gaps. Through two real-world examples, Laura shows how honoring individual tool preferences can transform documentation into a strategic business asset.

In this insightful episode, Mike Drues joins host Etienne Nichols to dissect the FDA's most frequently cited compliance issues, challenging the notion that many are strictly "pre-market" concerns. They delve into the nuances of software changes, design creep, and off-label marketing, providing a critical look at how companies can avoid common pitfalls. This discussion is vital for MedTech professionals seeking to understand the true nature of FDA expectations and build more robust quality systems.Timestamps00:04 – Introduction to common FDA compliance issues02:02 – Discussion on FDA's policy of not naming individuals05:45 – Mike Drues challenges the "pre-market" classification of common issues09:20 – Documentation requirements for different device classes11:35 – Mike's take on the most common FDA issues (beyond the presented three)15:40 – Root causes of common compliance problems and industry responsibility20:00 – The role of regulation and FDA's responsibility in clarity27:05 – Deep dive into design change and design creep31:40 – Software changes and the "bug fix" mentality35:45 – Marketing beyond authorized intended use with a real-world example41:00 – Key takeaways and proactive compliance strategiesStandout Quotes"If the regulation makes sense, we shouldn't need it. If the regulation doesn't make sense, we shouldn't have it." — Mike Drues. This quote encapsulates Mike's philosophy on regulatory compliance, emphasizing that true professionalism means understanding inherent needs rather than just following rules."You have a piece of software, you have a bug, you fix the bug… Is your job done? Absolutely not." — Mike Drues. This highlights a critical oversight in software development within MedTech, stressing the importance of holistic post-fix validation to prevent unintended consequences.Top TakeawaysRegulatory Misclassification: Many issues labeled by the FDA as "pre-market" (e.g., marketing beyond intended use, design creep) are fundamentally post-market compliance challenges. This distinction is crucial for companies to allocate resources effectively.Beyond Administrative Review: While administrative incompleteness accounts for a significant portion of 510(k) rejections (around 38%), the scientific and substantial equivalence reviews are major hurdles, with approximately 75% of 510(k)s rejected initially, primarily due to lack of substantial equivalence (85% of those rejections).Top Post-Market Violations: Historically, the most common reasons for FDA 483s and Warning Letters relate to CAPAs (12.5%), design controls (12.5%), and complaint handling (10.5%), collectively accounting for roughly 35% of all post-market issues. Companies should prioritize these areas.Software Change Management: Fixing a software bug is only the first step; a holistic review is essential to ensure no new problems are introduced and the device's safety, efficacy, and usability remain uncompromised.Intentionality vs. Compliance: Marketing a device beyond its authorized intended use, even if the device functionally performs beyond its cleared claims, carries significant regulatory and product liability risks. Companies should seek appropriate clearance for expanded claims rather than relying on off-label promotion.References & LinksEtienne Nichols' LinkedInGreenlight GuruCall to...

A strong project kickoff strategy can make or break your software project. In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit and expand upon their earlier episode, Mastering the Project Kickoff – Setting the Stage for Success. This time, they use AI not to redefine strategy, but to reflect on what worked, what's changed, and what new insights can improve how teams approach kickoffs today. The result is a deeper, more refined look at launching software projects with intention and clarity—before writing a single line of code. Why Your Project Kickoff Strategy Still Matters “Two weeks in, and no one agrees on the goal.” It's a story most developers know too well. The reason? A weak or nonexistent project kickoff strategy. Rob and Michael break down how early misalignment on goals, responsibilities, or MVPs can derail projects quickly. To avoid this, teams need a consistent, structured approach that starts before the first line of code is written. How AI Improves Your Project Kickoff Strategy AI can't replace a good team conversation, but it can support a better project kickoff strategy by helping structure discussions, define deliverables, and highlight gaps in planning. Some examples AI tools can generate: Stakeholder role outlines Risk assessment prompts Project objective statements Kickoff meeting checklists With good prompting, AI becomes a partner in better planning. Core Elements of a Strong Project Kickoff Strategy A repeatable project kickoff strategy should include the following: 1. Purpose and Objectives What are we building, and why? Define the business problem and expected outcome clearly. 2. Team Roles and Ownership List all stakeholders, assign responsibilities, and clarify decision-makers. Misunderstood roles create avoidable blockers. 3. Process and Delivery Plan Establish your delivery method (Agile, Scrum, Kanban) and how progress will be tracked, tested, and shared. 4. MVP and Scope Control Rob and Michael emphasize: everything must map to the MVP. If it doesn't, reconsider the feature. 5. Documentation and Visibility Centralize everything. Use Notion, Confluence, or shared drives, and record meetings for searchability and auditability. Warning Signs of a Poor Kickoff Strategy Michael and Rob call out red flags that reveal when your project kickoff strategy is weak or broken: No written MVP or goals Absent stakeholders during planning Overlapping roles with unclear boundaries “We'll figure it out later” mindset No documentation or decision logs Ignoring these signs leads to confusion, rework, and a breakdown in team trust. Anchor Your Kickoff Strategy with an MVP “If your feature doesn't pass a test, it's not part of your MVP.” Michael shares a practical tip: create user stories first, then turn them into pass/fail tests. This ensures that your project kickoff strategy stays laser-focused on outcomes—not distractions like UI polish or edge-case bells and whistles. Challenge: Audit Your Project Kickoff Strategy Before your next launch, hold a quick strategy review. Ask: Do we have a clearly defined MVP? Are team roles written and confirmed? Are meeting notes and decisions documented? Does every feature connect to project goals? If not, revise your strategy now—before you waste time.

Greg Farnum, Senior VP and General Manager at Audacious Inquiry, a PointClickCare company, brings expertise in health information exchange, public health, and health IT policy. Audacious is using AI to reduce administrative burdens and improve clinical workflows, facilitating data exchange, enhancing decision-making, and providing a better patient experience. Working with the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy and other federal and state agencies, Audacious is developing tools to summarize lengthy test results, generate educational materials, and suggest relevant responses to public inquiries. Greg explains, "We have a full-stack engineering team, a managed services team, expertise in health IT policy and regulation, health IT standards, public health, and now artificial intelligence. So we work with ASTP (Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy), which is also known as the old ONCCDC, plus a bunch of other federal and state agencies, HIEs, and public health. We are part of PointClickCare, a leading health tech company with one simple mission -- to help providers deliver exceptional care across thousands of facilities." "ASTP has some really interesting challenges that are perfect for AI. They're dealing with some complex data analysis challenges and the creation of content for industry and the public. They also respond to thousands of public inquiries yearly. So we're helping them with all of those things and leveraging AI tools to do that." "I'll get a little more specific. Every year, hundreds of health IT organizations and developers submit these things they call testing results associated with their real-world test plans. But there's no standard format for this. So, ASTP staff have to manually read through each of these documents. And these are big documents. They can be 50 pages, they could be 200 pages, and the staff need to go through and figure out where the answers are to these specific questions. So we've built some AI tools that can read the entire document and automatically extract the answers using things like natural language processing and other AI components." #PointClickCare #AudaciousInquiry #AI #MedAI #ResponsibleAI #AdministrativeBurdens #DigitalHealth #Healthcare #HealthcareRegulation #ClinicianBurnout #Clinicians pointclickcare.com/audacious-inquiry Download the transcript here

You Don't Want To Miss This One! SummaryIn this episode, Sean and Terry discuss the critical importance of proper documentation in healthcare, particularly focusing on the discrepancies that arise when dealing with cash patients versus insured patients.
