In this episode of The Power Producers podcast, David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck talk about understanding the total cost of risk and some of its components and why you need to stop thinking of yourself as an insurance salesperson and start thinking of yourself as a risk manager.  Episode Highlights: What is the total cost of risk? (1:38) David shares that a lot of people have been talking about the total cost of risk, but there's a huge understanding of what it is. (2:51) David mentions that insurance premiums are a part of the total cost of risk. (3:39) David shares that you need to stop thinking about yourself as an insurance salesman or an insurance producer. Rather, start thinking of yourself as a risk manager. (4:45) Kyle thinks that people get lost in the total cost of risk because it’s broad, and it’s difficult for people to figure out its components. (5:33) David mentions that there are five parts to the total cost of risk. (6:34) David shares that insurance premiums are easy to measure hard cost and they’re part of the total cost of risk. (13:52) David thinks that it’s significant to know that insurance premiums are also the result of how good you can manage the other percent. (13:58) David mentions that retained losses are information that you have made a conscious decision to retain actively, and actively retained losses are a deductible. (14:11) David shares that if you don’t involve the carrier, you're not getting a deductible credit on your premium because the insurance company doesn't know, and you don't get the ability to work with their adjusters because, in a deductible situation, the carrier is going to handle all of the adjustment. (16:43) David thinks that looking at both active and passive losses is vital. (18:43) David mentions that he has an article that’s coming out in a couple of weeks on, why you want to allocate the cost of risk and the steps associated with allocating the cost of risk. (19:47) David shares a story about his early years in the insurance industry. (24:06) Tweetable Quotes: “Everybody thinks they know what it is. They run around the chatterbox and say, hey man, let me talk to you about the total cost of risk, and at the end of the day, they hand them an insurance proposal.” - David Carothers “There's got to be measurable things like quantifiable data points that you can use. Otherwise, you just start kind of rambling about the total cost of risk and you're not giving them any specific points or things that are impacting their premium.” - Kyle Houck “Taking the extra time and the extra steps to not only understand something but be able to articulate that and educate or client or prospect on exactly what it means.” - David Carothers “I'm not here to teach you how to calculate the total cost of risk to the nth degree of accuracy. I'm here to teach you how you can use it in its most basic premise to drive a wedge and differentiate yourself from the point of sale so you can get a deal closed.” - David Carothers Resources Mentioned: David Carothers LinkedIn Kyle Houck LinkedIn Florida Risk Partners The Extra 2 Minutes

ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 046  A Family Plagued with Rare Genetic Disease, Adrenoleukodystrophy with Diane Kane If you haven’t listened to Episode 38, Rare Like Us with Taylor Kane, go back and listen to that episode here. Taylor Kane's mom, Diane Kane, had two toddlers when her husband was suddenly diagnosed with a rare disorder called Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). I'm in awe of her strength, grit and grace as a caregiver to her husband John, all while being a new mom, working and preparing for all the ways ALD would disrupt her family and change it forever.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS What is ALD and what are the symptoms? My husband was diagnosed with Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) a few years after we got married and he eventually passed away from it. ALD is a rare hereditary disease that we later found ran in his family. He also had a twin brother who later passed away as well. A couple years after we were married, I noticed John started acting differently, started leaving things around when he had always been neat and organized, his personality started changing, he'd stay up late and go into work late. There were a few times he said he was going to work, I'd call and he wasn't there. The symptoms came on slowly and given that I was pregnant and we had one young child, I thought it was stress or a crisis of some sort. We started going to marriage counseling where the counselor must have noticed something and suggested he get some tests done. He got a brain scan and it showed that he had ALD. What happened after the Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) diagnosis? The radiologist told us that ALD was a rare disease and referred us to a specialist. We saw a neurologist at the Kennedy Krieger Institute, a hospital that specializes in rare diseases. I researched what I could and everything I read said there was no cure and that nothing could be done. When we spoke to the neurologist, he confirmed my research-  that there was no treatment. The neurologist told John he has 2 to 3 years to live and to go home and enjoy the time he had left. How were you able to manage and cope with the diagnosis and life at that time? At first, it was so hard to grasp. I went about things as normally as I could and kept things as normal as I could for my kids. John went on the best he could as well. At the time, it was hard to tell how much he understood. I had a feeling that he didn't get it. He went to work, went out with friends and carried on with life doing his normal things. I had been working part time, but I worried he may lose his job so I hired a nanny and increased my hours at work to prepare for what may happen next. As my husband's condition deteriorated, it became hard to care for him and the kids, but with a lot of help I was able to manage everything and I couldn't have done it without that help.  What wisdom can you share with other caregivers? Accept help from people and don't feel guilty about it. It's good to take time for yourself and get away when you can, even if just for a few minutes. The people who stepped up to help me weren't who I thought they'd be in the beginning. You learn who your true friends are and they may be people you don't know. If you're in a caregiver role, advocate for yourself, take time for yourself and accept help.  LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED EPISODE 038 - Rare Like Us with Taylor Kane https://effieparks.com/podcast/episode-38-rare-like-us-with-taylor-kane Rare Like Us https://www.amazon.com/Rare-Like-Us-Finding-Plagued/dp/1543978819 A RARE Patient Advocacy (un)Summit https://globalgenes.org/event/live/ Global Genes https://globalgenes.org/ TUNE INTO THE ONCE UPON A GENE PODCAST Spotify Apple Podcasts Stitcher Overcast CONNECT WITH EFFIE PARKS Website https://effieparks.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/OnceUponAGene Instagram https://www.instagram.com/onceuponagene.podcast/?hl=en Built Ford Tough Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1877643259173346/

In this episode of the Building Us podcast, co-hosts Erik Garcia, CFP® and Dr. Matt Morris, LPC, LMFT discuss a little bit about their roots, when and where they started working together, and the idea of how couples can have healthy conversations around money.Episode Highlights:What are some ground rules for healthy communication, and for having a healthy conversation? (2:32)Matt talks about the importance of staying connected. If you conflict with somebody, you want to try to stay connected to them. (4:17)Matt shares that he doesn’t want people to use aggressive and verbally abusive language to each other. (4:49)Erik mentions that sometimes money is like the window into our souls, and money makes us feel vulnerable. (5:58)Matt says that curiosity is the other side of communication. (6:47)What are some healthy questions that couples can ask each other? (7:12)Erik shares that retirement is somewhat a goal, but it's a goal that doesn't have an end. (7:39)Matt talks about the attitude and values of money. (7:39)Erik thinks that part of understanding your attitude is understanding the environment in which you were raised. (9:43)Matt sees that when couples are coming together, sometimes one of them grew up in a home where money was handled in a very healthy way, very open way, and the other spouse or partner was raised in an environment where money was more toxic in some way. (10:18)Matt says that debt was something that he and his spouse needed to talk about. (13:10)Matt shares that feelings are significant and feelings often drive our reactions and behaviors about money. (13:54)Erik shares a good example of understanding your partner in terms of how they feel about money. (14:36)Matt mentions that his financial values have changed from being entirely about himself to partly about him, partly about others, and leaving a legacy. (16:12)Erik shares that money is one of the issues where he often sees people don’t have healthy conversations. (16:40)Matt talks about financial skills and habits. (17:03)Erik shares a story about his first wedding anniversary. (17:32)Erik mentions that couples that report on having less financial conflict, tend to have healthier and more intimate lives. (19:55)Matt shares that generally for couples, their finances get more complicated over time, and even if they have good foundational skills, those skills and habits may need to adjust over time. (20:45)Matt talks about creating a Venn diagram for couples’ values and skills. (23:28)Erik mentions the book entitled A Framework for Understanding Poverty, by Ruby Payne. (24:37)Matt talks about collaboration and communication. (27:44)Matt talks about being able to communicate openly and transparently. (29:39)Matt shares that a lot of people when they're worried about something, will just avoid it and come up with 100 different reasons not to talk about it. (30:21)Matt mentions that stress can sometimes come out as anger and criticism but it can sometimes come out as shutting down and avoiding it. (30:49)Erik mentions that in his e-book, he talked about how to distill financial principles that transcend income, and transcends wealth. (32:44)Erik shares that the ground rule of healthy communication if you're asking questions, is to ask questions to learn. (37:14)Matt mentions that the great ground rule is not to ask a question with the intention to educate your partner.

Episode Description:Join us as we speak with Chris Seveney about his note investing business. Chris is founder of 7E Investments, a firm that specializes in investing in first lien performing and non-performing notes backed by real estate. He has grown his note portfolio to over $5 million and his overall real estate portfolio to $7 million. He is also a director of construction at a Washington, D.C. based development firm where he has developed over $750 million in real estate.Chris is also co-host of the Good Deeds Note Investing Podcast.Episode Highlights:What makes this business scalable? Once you source the deal and get payments set up you can move onto the next one. You can also scale by progressively buying larger notes, eventually growing to notes on commercial properties such as multi-family.A great way to get started is using an online platform called paperstac.comBuild a relationship with an attorney in the state you plan to buy notes in. Each state has its own foreclosure rules and procedures so you need to find an expert to help you with that process.Evictions and foreclosures across Chris’s entire portfolio is less than 10% so if that’s a fear, don’t let that hold you back.Another interesting thing mentioned is that the note is worth more when the borrower stays in the home and it doesn’t go to foreclosure.Helpful Links:https://paperstac.com/Best Ways to Contact Chris:https://www.7einvestments.comhttps://gooddeedsnoteinvesting.com/chris@7einvestments.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/christopherseveney/Notes and Bolts Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/101028197428726/Best way to contact your host, Mason Klement:mason@masonklement.comhttps://www.masonklement.com/Be sure not to miss any future episodes by subscribing to the Scalable Real Estate Investing Podcast using the links below.YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgDaSaSQP0KLoVCgydDd9HwBuzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1131344

In today's episode host, Josh Lipstone of The Explain This Book To Me podcast continues his discussion with David Carothers, the author of the book, The Extra 2 Minutes.  They discuss how to identify and locate your ideal prospect.  And you may hear how David's mind was blown away from something that was discussed in Book 2, Episode 1, but you'll have to download this episode to find out. Episode Highlights: What are the things from the first episode that stood out for David? (3:10) Why does David think that prospect identification is one of the biggest challenges? (6:41) David thinks the insurance industry is severely lacking in production training. (7:06) David shares his fundamental theory in insurance production. (7:36) David says that the difference between giving somebody the why and asking the question in a short amount of time is the title of his book. (11:16) How does a producer define who their ideal prospect is if they’re new to the industry? (13:31) David mentions that in the first year of his career his ideal prospect was anybody who was in life science technology. (14:56) David says that the best way to help yourself define your ideal prospect is through conversations with your underwriter. (19:04) David explains what affiliate marketers do. (25:22) David says that when he’s looking at the thing about who belongs at the table, he’s looking at the moral compass and the value of that organization. (28:04) Davis explains why he wants to bring somebody into his agency, who does not fit the characteristics of what he would consider being an ideal client. (29:17) What other places can David recommend people to start locating their ideal prospect? (33:33) David mentions that it takes time to identify the ideal prospect and figure out where you want to go. (36:09) How many producers does David have in his office? (38:02) David shares what type of data people should be gathering, and the tools that they should be using to gather that information. (41:31) Does David have a philosophy on how long some business needs to be in business? (45:35) What is the philosophy of David about blocking markets? (48:12) David mentions where people should look to find out when a worker’s compensation is ready. (51:04) David explains what an appointment setter is. (56:20)   Key Quotes:   “I don't abuse my relationships with my underwriters. If there's not a case to be made, I don't make it. In fact, they don't even see it. If I know I'm not going to be successful, I'm going to cut bait and not spend time with that particular carrier when I know I have to go somewhere else. But if it's something that I know in my heart needs to be there because that's the right market and it really would fit if they listen to the full story, we’re going to get it done every time”- David Carothers “Work ethic and willingness to learn. With those two things, if you've got that in your back pocket, you can be successful. If you're not successful and you have those two things it’s because you allowed the industry to taint you and you didn't allow yourself to see it through.”- David Carothers “If you focus on identifying your ideal prospect and who that's going to be, it takes time to do that. It takes time to identify them and figure out where you want to go, it takes time to write your business, it takes time for you to do the research. But as you're doing all of these things, you're really making yourself stronger.”- David Carothers Resources Mentioned:   Florida Risk Partners Reach out to David Carothers Joshua Lipstone LinkedIn Lipstone Insurance Group Book: The Extra 2 Minutes: How spending an extra 2 minutes on nearly anything in your sales career will take you from good to “best in class”!   Advertisers: Veruna Agency Va Lightspeed Voice

ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 034 The Ladies Behind the Edits I want my audience to know Erica and Devona, such a big part of my show. They make everything sound beautiful, put it all together and I'm grateful to have stumbled across them.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS What is it like to hear and to edit someone's conversations in their raw form? It's vulnerable to put something out that's personal and not the finished product. I have a personal relationship with everyone I work with that happens very organically over time. There's a lot of trust that goes into that. It helps that we enjoy listening to your podcast. If you're trying to edit something you have no interest in whatsoever, it makes our job a little harder. It's a major plus that your podcast happens to be something that we live daily and are interested in learning from you and your guests. The content is personal and relatable for us and there's value in it for us. Aside from the backend support is that we fall within your audience.  I posted in a Facebook group about wanting an editor connected to the rare disease or disability community and Erica shared with me about Cam. Can you share a little bit about him? We're integrated in this community through my baby brother who is 27. He was born in the early 90's and diagnosed with what was then just referred to as mental retardation. He's a grab bag of these acronyms and present day he's on the spectrum, not high functioning, he has hygienic issues, behavioral issues, communication issues and social issues. He's a large part of our life and we see a lot of those same things in Cam. It's worrisome at times because my brother got to the intellectual age of 8 and just stopped. It's a fear for us as moms that we don't know and we don't have a sure diagnosis. Every time we see a specialist, they add something else and we don't know what the projection looks like for Cam.  Have you thought about getting a genetic test for Cam? His most recent appointment was in December when he turned 4. She just wanted to take things slow. She said as long as he's physically healthy, we're working through his mobility issues through occupational therapy and he's happy and talkative- just let him be and let's see what happens. She didn't have a lot of advice because he's young and it's hard to diagnose things at his age. She wanted to monitor him and see how things go. We've never discussed getting a genetic test done on him.  How did you feel when the doctor told you to wait and see what happens with Cam? When we first started seeing issues with Cam, Erica was deployed overseas and Cam was about a year and a half old. We were standing in the parking lot when Erica was getting ready to leave. There was a couple standing across from us with teenage kids and they clung to their Daddy and were crying their eyes out and I said to Erica that I was so glad Cam was so young and wouldn't remember this. That first night, Cam would not eat, he wouldn't sleep and he fussed all night long. His vocabulary at that age wasn't incredibly developed, but he'd say basic words like ball, milk, car and Mommy. There was no verbalization for the first 6 months after Erica left. Cam resorted to pointing at everything. I knew something was wrong but his pediatrician disregarded the change due to the fact that he was under stress and didn't know how to cope. By the time I put my foot down in 6 months, his regression was so harsh that it was full-on therapy from then on out. I'm not as concerned that the specialist now wants to wait it out because her reasoning is that she wants to talk about ADHD, but it's too early.  Are you seeing more progression than regression now that Erica is back? Cam spent 13 months learning and not verbalizing because when Erica came home, he had a lot to say and he still has a lot to say. We've continued with therapy on an ongoing basis. Covid has made things difficult and we're not doing any tele-therapy at all because Cam doesn't have the attention span or tolerance to do it. We do behavioral therapy and occupational therapy and we've graduated from speech therapy.  What was it like for you to see Cam's development when you came home Erica? About three months after I left, his school started questioning things and pointing out that something was going on with Cam. At that point, I was defensive and I thought he was just regressing and upset because I wasn't there and that everything would go back to normal when I got home. It was frustrating and scary and I was in denial that something was actually going on. All I could do was hope everything was going to be okay when I got home. On a daily basis, Devona would tell me something else going on with Cam and it was disheartening having to be away and unable to be there for my family.  Did you feel pressure on your relationship when you realized Cam was having these issues? The pressure and stress we were already under from me being away when all this popped up and we just worked together and did what we had to do to get through it. When I came home, things were difficult. I came home from a year long deployment, was trying to reintegrate into society where I have to take care of myself and my family, feed myself, pay bills and things I didn't do for a year. That stress added to what we went through with Cam was difficult. Devona and I are pretty good about recognizing things before they get out of hand. Cam's challenges have not been marital challenges for us. It's been a rebuilding since deployment. There was a lot going on in life at that time. We;'re just enjoying life, we enjoy Cam, we have mutual passions and that's what keeps us bonded. Why did you make a career out of podcast support and what's behind your why? Effie, you have helped us to create our mission and we're doing what we're doing because you've inspired us to do so. We volunteer and like to get involved in things important to us, so as we tried to visualize what the business looked like and what it stands for, it became apparent that we wanted to work with people like you who are out doing the hard work, making waves, making people think and speaking to the people who aren't afraid to get out and make change happen.

ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 031 Quarantine - What We're Missing, What We're Not, and What We Hope Sticks Around Synthiea and Effie are talking about what they miss, what they don't miss and what they hope sticks around post-covid pandemic.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS What we miss during quarantine. Synthiea is missing hugs. Human touch is a big deal whether people like hugging or not. Effie misses her favorite Mexican restaurant that she sneaks to when she says she's going to Target. They miss their close girlfriends. Synthiea's three closest friends from high school go to brunch for everyone's birthdays and they've kept a standing Zoom meeting on Wednesday evenings. One of the girls is a yoga teacher who does a mini yoga session and then they sit around and chat. It's been nice to see each other every week instead of four times a year. Synthiea and Effie are both missing haircuts. Ford is missing the school bus and his horse, Gigi. What we don't miss. Effie doesn't miss how hard it used to be to get on friends' calendars when you wanted to hang out. Now you can find more time to connect through facetime. They don't miss traffic. And they don't miss hard pants. Effie doesn't miss not being able to go to the playground, especially since Esme has started walking during the quarantine. What we hope sticks around after quarantine. Synthiea hopes working from home sticks around. Effie hopes people continue to be flexible and patient. She also hopes people continue to understand what families who have children with compromised immune systems are going through, especially those who have been on lockdown several times before for health reasons. Synthiea hopes the neighborliness sticks around and that everyone continues to be outside more. They both hope that people continue to show respect by wearing a mask in public.

Recognizing mental illness as an actual illness How TMS integrates with other treatments The marriage between Greenbrook and TMS and their growth together The future of Greenbrook TMSQuotes:“Using a magnetic pulse to stimulate the area of the brain that is responsible for mood regulation.”“What’s required is a reframing of mental illness generally speaking so that people understand that it’s an actual illness.”“Four, five years ago I had a breakdown, a neural breakdown.”“We also thought it was a tremendous service to the world, frankly, to be able to roll out and help create this type of access to patients.”“It’s the number one provider, Greenbrook, of TMS in North America.”“There’s a lot of patients that need care, and I think that, as many access points as we can possibly create is only going to be better for everyone.”Links:Everyday Investor homepage: https://everydayinvestor.com/

Laurie Lee, JD, attorney, and owner of The Legal Department speaks with Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy Podcast about how small business professionals can benefit from legal services. Laurie discusses when to reach out to an attorney for advice, which legal issues you can handle on your own, and the importance of properly protecting your clients.    Episode Highlights: What is Laurie’s background? The legal industry is typically focused on money and winning. The Legal Department is focused on serving businesses that serve others and does this through relationship building. Laurie’s business model for The Legal Department uses fixed fees for their services and is based on whether you have an Infrastructure Plan or prefer a project-based partnership.   What are some of the legal issues business owners can handle on their own? Is it true the creation and implementation of something provides some level of copyright protection? Or should everything be submitted to get copyright approval? Laurie shares her advice for copyrighting materials you produce.  What does Laurie say small business owners should know about trademarks? What about logos? What happens when people try to include proper nouns in trademarks? What are the highlights of Laurie’s infrastructure map? How should a small business owner conduct a risk-benefit analysis when seeking legal expertise? What legal resources does Laurie recommend for small business owners?   3 Key Points: It’s critical to find an attorney you can communicate with effectively. Avoiding your attorney is the worst thing you can do.  Don’t ignore the structure of how you set up your employees and contractors.  Everything you provide as a service provider counts as intellectual property and it needs to be properly protected.    Tweetable Quotes: “Our money and our time is very valuable and if we're spending that on dealing with conflicts, we're not spending it on growing our businesses.” – Laurie Lee “The more you avoid getting legal advice, the more risk you have." – Laurie Lee   Resources Mentioned: Infrastructure Map: https://thelegaldepartment.law/what-we-do/ The Legal Department Website: https://thelegaldepartment.law/ United States Patent and Trademark Office: uspto.gov U.S. Copyright Office: https://www.copyright.gov/   #HealthcareEntrepreneurAcademy #HealthcareBoss #healthcare #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #smallbiz #legaladvice #legalconsult #bizowner

In this episode of Patrick Jones Baseball, I interview Tyler Gillum, the Assistant Coach, and Health and Wellness Coordinator at South Mountain Community College in Phoenix, Arizona. During the summertime, he is the head coach for the Savannah Bananas, a collegiate summer baseball team. He has also been in the Coastal Plain League, Texas Collegiate League, and Cape Cod League. Tyler Gillum talks about infield play, how to coach third base, strength training, and base running. Episode Highlights:What drew Tyler Gillum to coach the Savannah Bananas? Tyler Gillum talks about ways his team breaks the norm on the baseball field. What did Tyler’s high school coach do that made such a big impact on him? What are his roles with South Mountain? What is a typical day like for his infielders? Tyler Gillum shares a story about a bullpen catcher for the Toronto Blue Jays. Tyler shares his positive opinions of wall balls and counting hops. How does he teach the double play? Does he have runners purposely slide in? Does he use machines to measure the type of spin that is coming off the ball? What are his thoughts on developing first basemen? Does he have first basemen hold off runners differently? Your body is going to figure out how to be as fast as possible if you put it on a stopwatch. Is he ok with players sliding head-first? Tyler walks us through a third base runner scenario. 3 Key Points:During practice, stretching and playing catch are the two things that they do every time. Wall balls are something you can do anywhere that are very helpful for training. When training players for the double, Tyler tells them to approach the bag with their left foot in the middle of the bag in an athletic position, with their shoulder parallel with the part of the second base facing them. Tweetable Quotes:“Whatever is normal, do the exact opposite.” – Tyler Gillum “I wanted to be in Phoenix because I thought it was the best place that I could grow and network. Those two things are something I always stuck with.” – Tyler Gillum“Catch play is, I would say the hardest things we do at practice, one of the hardest things that we do at practice, also one of the most beneficial things that we do at practice.” – Tyler Gillum Resources Mentioned:patrickjonesbaseball.comTyler Gillum’s Website: gillumbaseball.comTyler Gillum Social Media: Instagram TwitterTyler Gillum Phone Number: (602) 370-7649 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode of I break down the second to final episode under negotiation techniques into two categories. These categories are Listening Techniques and Physical Negotiation Techniques, both of which have their own sub-categories. I recommend selecting the particular technique that works best depending on the situation and what the negotiator aims to achieve. Or even combine two or more techniques when it’s deemed necessary. Each technique is explained in depth with scenario examples. Episode Highlights What does Speed of Speech help the negotiator to uncover?  Inactive Listening works as a good pattern interrupt What is Listening by Selection more familiarly known for?  What does everyone say about Active Listening?  How does Competitive Listening differ from Active Listening? What is the main purpose of Combative Listening? Why is Passive Listening an aggressive type of Listening Technique? Attentive Listening offers more opportunities to spot body language and non-verbal cues. Tactile Warmth leads to more concessions. Serve sweet food for a higher chance of your requests being favoured. How can one become a more believable negotiator?  How does a noisy environment help raise a person’s closer attention? Leverage on hunger for a faster concession. What kind of weather is favourable to an agreement and when is the best time of the day to hold a meeting? Key points The big negotiation part is where you increase the other party’s insecurities. They cannot tell what you are thinking hence, they are making up potential scenarios in their minds. The topic appears more important if it draws attention.  A firm handshake on an important topic usually seals the deal.

In this episode, they talk about the factors influencing decision-making and how to avoid common cognitive biases. Gleb provides advice to help entrepreneurs make smart decisions and avoid common mistakes when it comes to the decision-making process.    Episode Highlights: What is Dr. Tsipursky's background and what led him to become an expert in decision-making and disaster avoidance? What factors most influence decision-making? How can people get beyond tribal instincts?  What are some strategies an entrepreneur can use to hone in on making good, informed decisions? How does Gleb’s work relate to the psychology of marketing and neuro-linguistic programming? Is there a time when you should follow your gut? Does Gleb think CEOs known for following their gut are portrayed inaccurately? What are other important cognitive biases to consider when entrepreneurs make business decisions? How can you assess yourself without letting your own cognitive biases affect your self-assessment?   3 Key Points: Most people use tribal instincts that aren’t adapted to the modern environment to make the majority of their decisions.  Entrepreneurs often make decisions using an optimism bias or the planning fallacy. Good leaders should be humble and pivot effectively when needed.   Tweetable Quotes: “Failing to plan for problems is planning to fail.” – Dr. Gleb Tsipursky “This is one of the worst things that entrepreneurs do: they become stubbornly reluctant to acknowledge they're wrong.” – Dr. Gleb Tsipursky   Resources Mentioned: Dr. Gleb Tsipursky LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-gleb-tsipursky Never Go with Your Gut (Book):   https://www.amazon.com/Never-Your-Gut-Pioneering-Decisions/dp/1632651629/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1586239625&sr=8-1 Disaster Avoidance Experts https://disasteravoidanceexperts.com/ Free Online Assessment on Dangerous Judgment Errors https://disasteravoidanceexperts.com/subscribe/ #HealthcareEntrepreneurAcademy #HealthcareBoss #healthcare #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #cognitive bias #decisionmaking #gutinstinct

ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 023 Mental Health and Coping During Covid-19 I hope you're all as safe and healthy as you can be right now. Dr. Laura Black is a Childhood Adolescent Psychiatry Fellow and she's providing tips to us on talking to your kids about COVID-19 and managing your heightened stress and anxiety. She also leads us through a mindfulness exercise, so be sure to take a few minutes for yourself at the end of this episode and share it with a friend or family member who can benefit. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS What is your background? I'm a Childhood Adolescent Psychiatry Fellow, trained in psychiatry in adults, children and teenagers. I'm trained in medication and psychotherapy and I've been working in mental health for a number of years. How do we explain to kids what COVID-19 is and why they can't go anywhere? This is particularly related to your audience with kids that are medically complex. You are the pros at making developmentally appropriate explanations of medically complicated stuff, so don't forget that you have been doing this for your kid's whole life. This is something you know how to do and you may even be able to support some of your parents friends. Be proactive and sit down and have a conversation with your kids about what's going on. One way of putting it would be to say that "COVID-19 is a new virus that's happening in the world and doctors and scientists are still learning about it and studying it. A lot of people have gotten sick recently. Doctors think that most people will be okay, but some people are going to get pretty sick." Emphasize that doctors and nurses are working really hard to help people stay healthy. End on a positive note and talk about what role they can have in flattening the curve by saying "If we can share less germs, more people can stay healthy. The proactive things we can do include cleaning our home, washing our hands and staying in touch with people in ways that aren't in person."  How do we help reduce our kid's stress and anxiety levels? It can be really helpful to have routines around mental health and it's one more way that families and kids can learn to take care of themselves.If you already working with a therapist or mental health professional, continue to do that via video or phone and maintain the routine of those regular visits if you have a way of doing so remotely. Finding a way to validate anxiety without magnifying it is really key. Acknowledge fear or worry without escalating it. One way of doing that is by thinking of positive coping thoughts. If worries keep recurring, write them on an index card or put them on a bulletin board to visualize them regularly. With us all being stuck at home, it can be helpful to have scheduled worry time and a scheduled worry spot. Choose a spot in the house that can serve as the worry spot and schedule time in your day that you think about worries and if worries come up outside of that time, put it out of your mind for the moment. For younger kids, it may be helpful to do the worry time with them and help contain it to a certain time and location.  How do we explain the concept of the current situation in a realistic way that doesn't spark more fear? This can be hard if the kid has trouble understanding that this isn't their fault. Try to emphasize that we're all in this together, and not because we're in trouble, but because we're trying to help each other and we're all doing our best. Try to reassure as much as possible that this is something we're all doing together and no one is at fault. What are some ways to manage tempers escalating? Parents and teenagers need to have compassion for themselves when that happens. If patience becomes short or we're a little more on edge than we normally would be, to remember we're all going through a lot right now and we're having a shorter fuse because we're under more pressure than usual. Try to take a breath and forgive yourself when that happens. When it comes to dealing tempers at home or kids struggling with their emotions, think about your prevention strategies. How do you set up your home for success? You can increase the way you're structuring time at home together, like school stations and who is doing tasks when, thinking about minimizing conflict and being flexible. Be mindful that some of your house rules may require an adjustment, but I wouldn't let go of them completely. When emotions come up, one framework that may be helpful is to think about the zones of regulation- green (good-to-go), yellow (things are ramping up) and red (negative emotion explosion). Use the language around the zones to suggest breaks and if kids begin to recognize those feelings within themselves, reward that using whatever system you use to encourage self-awareness and regulation.  How do we all adapt to the changes in our routines? Anxiety can cause people to get rigid and that's true for kids and adults. Have a daily schedule on a board that's visible and schedule daily activities similar to the typical school schedule. Visual schedules are especially helpful for kids with ASD or developmental disabilities. If you're having difficulty with transitioning between preferred and non-preferred activities, having a simple first-then visual can help. It's important to talk about flexibility at home and as a parent you can model that and recognize your kid's flexibility as a specific behavioral target.  When kids are bored and not wanting to do social distancing, what can we do? As we've seen from the recommendations, it's so important that we buckle down right now. With kids, this is tough. Explain in the most developmentally appropriate way that why this is going on, that this is how we're keeping people healthy and that this is a way kids can contribute and do something good. Have a structured day with fun stuff within the structure built in. Play family games on the TV and facetime with family and friends to stay connected in a way that keeps our distance. With teens, it's a little more complicated because they have the natural desire to rebel and not follow rules. Some teens may still be at the stage of joking about the virus, which is a form of denial. Usually under denial is fear that a person doesn't want to feel, so be aware of your emotions that might arise when you see teens acting that way. Bring it back to finding a way that speaks to them to acknowledge the importance of what's happening. Families now have this extra strain of losing their jobs, paying their bills and keeping everyone healthy. How much of an impact can this have on kids on top of everything else they're dealing with and how can we be extra cautious? Kids do respond to your emotional cues and that's both the words you say and the tone you say it in. They can feel the emotions and pick up on vibes, so it's important to make sure they feel safe with you with everything going on right now. My intention is not to add another layer of parental guilt, but it's more to reframe and emphasize that your ability to care for yourself is really important right now. Put the oxygen mask on yourself before you help others. This is an important time for you to take care of yourself to the point that you can be emotionally present for your child as you go through this experience together so you can meet their emotional needs. Have compassion for yourself right now because this is a legitimately tough time and you're going to be stressed. Your experience will be better and your kid's experience will be better if you do what you need to do to care for yourself.  As a parent of a medically complex kid or having a family member with a compromised immune system, how would you suggest coping with feelings of anger towards others who aren't following social distancing guidelines? It's natural to feel upset by that. I've seen the filter people are using on their Facebook photos that says "your only is my everything" and it's pure truth. This is not a joke, it's real life. It can be hard to know how to respond to people not taking the situation seriously. As far as your own feelings or resentment or anger toward those people, give yourself permission to feel that because you have every right to feel upset about what's going on and the impact it may have. Try to find some empathy for what would bring a person to have that perspective, like denial. What's under the denial or the joking is a fear that they aren't able to face. As far as communicating with people who aren't taking this seriously, it's two sided- speak your truth and pick your battles. If there's a conversation to be had, keep it simple and don't demonize the other person. Pick your battles and be thoughtful about your interactions.  What do you want to leave us with amidst all of the stress going on right now? I want to recognize all of the parents out there who are dealing with this, especially having medically complex kids. I have so much respect for you and I'm sending you so much love and support. Take care of yourself right now. Take a moment for a mindfulness, love and kindness exercise and come back to it as often as needed.

Dr. Gabi Hanna, a physician entrepreneur with more than 15 years of leadership experience in early drug development and the Executive Director at Duke Preclinical Translational Research Unit speaks with Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy Podcast. In this episode, they talk about the field of translational research. Dr. Hanna offers advice to entrepreneurs interested in navigating entrepreneurship while working for another institution.     Episode Highlights: What is Dr. Hanna’s background? What was it like for him as a child and teenager growing up and how did he transition into the medical field? What is translational research? What was Dr. Hanna’s first entrepreneurial venture? What were some of the problems he encountered when he realized there wasn't much to show for the money being spent on research and development? What does the approval process look like for new drugs? What are some solutions Dr. Hanna developed to address the problems surrounding reproducibility? What is the business model Dr. Hanna has set up? How can you protect your intellectual property when working for an institution? How is intellectual property divided between companies or institutions and founders? Why did Dr. Hanna found the Duke Preclinical Translation Unit? When did Dr. Hanna start his own company? How did Dr. Hanna reach a licensing agreement with Mayo Clinic?   3 Key Points: Dr. Hanna found there was poor reproducibility and extended drug development time, leaving companies with a limited window to make a profit because patents would expire. Translational research fills the gap between physicians and researchers. Understand what the limitations are from your institution when creating a startup and adhere to those limitations.   Tweetable Quotes: “The due diligence process - I can’t emphasize it enough. Be sure where you put your resources and where you select your assets.” – Dr. Gabi Hanna “You need to be persistent to get to your goal and I think that's true for any entrepreneur for any business.” – Dr. Gabi Hanna   Resources Mentioned: Duke University Translational Research Unit: https://sites.duke.edu/preclinical/ The Society for Physician Entrepreneurs (NC):  https://www.ncbiotech.org/events/society-physician-entrepreneurs-charlotte-chapter-september-meeting Dr. Gabi Hanna LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabi-hanna-md-b3953748 #HealthcareEntrepreneurAcademy #HealthcareBoss #healthcare #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #drugdevelopment #translationalresearch

Julio Martinez-Clark, CEO and Co-Founder of bioaccess speaks with Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy Podcast. In this episode, they talk about how Julio found an opportunity for medical device companies to conduct clinical trials and sell their products in Latin America. Julio discusses how to become an educational source for clients and how to start the process of conducting a healthcare-related business in another country.  Episode Highlights: What is Julio's background and what prompted him to become an entrepreneur? What types of medical devices have they conducted clinical trials for in Colombia? What does the trial process look like? What is GCP certification? What are some of the benefits of doing a clinical trial in Colombia vs. in the US? How does the time required to get these trials approved and completed in Colombia compare to the same process in the US? How does a study that gets completed in Colombia translate back to possibly using your device in the US? At what stage in this process does a company typically approach Julio? Do they already have a device that's ready to be used or are they working with prototypes?  What does Julio know now that he wishes he had known when he was starting this company? What advice does he have for somebody looking to start a business in a similar arena? When it comes to doing business in Latin America, do you have to establish legal entities? How do you start the process of doing business in a different country? When it comes to cultural differences, how would a US company bridge that gap and should they hire a native consultant? What words of wisdom does Julio have for anybody launching a medical device idea in a different country? Is there a resource he recommends?   3 Key Points: The hubs of medical innovation in the US struggle to find cost-effective, ethical and quality overseas sites and investigators to lead clinical trials. Establish your authority by creating content, especially when you see that no one else is providing information your clients would benefit from.  When taking your business to another country, find a local partner who can guide you in the process.   Tweetable Quotes: “If you're confident your solution to a specific problem is the right solution, keep persisting.” – Julio Martinez-Clark “There's a vast sea of opportunities to sell devices and to provide solutions because patients need these innovative technologies that usually do not reach Latin America.”     – Julio Martinez-Clark   Resources Mentioned: bioaccess: https://www.bioaccessla.com/ LATAM Medtech Leaders Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/latam-medtech-leaders/id1456678391 Julio Martinez-Clark LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliomartinezclark?trk=author_mini-profile_title #HealthcareEntrepreneurAcademy #HealthcareBoss #healthcare #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #medicaldevices #medicalinnovation #clinicaltrials #latinamerica

ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 020 Morgan’s Wonderland Morgan's Wonderland in San Antonio, Texas is one of the most magical places on Earth. It's a shrine of inclusion. They're changing the game in what accessibility and inclusion mean with a theme park designed with disabilities at its core. From young to old, with or without a disability, Morgan's Wonderland is a place to encourage everyone to gain a greater understanding of each other. Nikki and Brooke join me on this episode to talk about Morgan's Wonderland. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS What is Morgan's Wonderland? We are the world's first ultra-accessible theme park. Our theme is inclusion. We are fully inclusive and accessible for visitors with special needs. We're an oasis of friendship and a place where people can feel safe.  What is Morgan's Wonderland mission? We are a non-profit and based on the support we get from the community, we're able to offer admission to guests with special needs for free. Since we've opened ten years ago, our park has welcomed approximately 1.8 million guests from all 50 states and 6 other countries.  Tell me who Morgan is and how this magical place came about. Morgan is Gordon and Maggie Hartman's daughter and she was born with special needs. Gordon owned a successful home building business and in 2005 he decided to sell the business and establish the The Gordon Hartman Family Foundation. Maggie and Morgan went on a vacation in 2006 and while they were on vacation, Morgan was playing at the hotel swimming pool and wanted to interact and play with the other kids, but they weren't sure how to play with her. At that moment, Gordon and Maggie came up with the idea to establish a place where people with and without special needs could come together for fun and interact together without fear.  Tell me about the park itself. Our completely wheelchair-accessible park is about a $36 million dollar park that features more than 25 elements and attractions, including rides, playgrounds, gardens, fishing lake, event center, amphitheater and Inspiration Island.  How do kids in wheelchairs access the water park? Our water park was designed with everyone in mind. In 2017, we opened the world's first ultra-accessible splash park. There's no submersible water. It's a three acre park comprised of 5 different splash pads with different features with slides and a riverboat adventure. What makes this park revolutionary is that we have a collaboration for the PneuChair, which was created at the University of Pittsburgh, and there's only 11 chairs in the world- we have 10 of them. The chairs are mobile, completely powered by air, they can go in the water and the person can have complete independence throughout the park. Is anyone invited to the park, including those without a disability? All ages, all abilities, whether you're 2, 22 or 82, there's something for everyone and an opportunity to soar. When this park was created, it was not created for people with special needs or disabilities. It was created as a place that can bridge that uncomfortable interaction where people are sometimes unsure what to do. We break down those barriers so everyone can play together regardless of ability. We have so many other initiatives that we're growing and developing that will become a bigger message of inclusion. What have you noticed between the kids learning and playing alongside each other? With our staff, they're seasonal part time and volunteers, both typical and special needs. The individuals with special needs, in a different environment, may not have the opportunity to engage, have fun and make memories with friends, co-workers and guests in the park. Park guests who come on a regular basis as their regular routine, this is the way they have developed socially or physically. This is a place to grow. Talk about employing people with disabilities. We have individuals of different abilities and we find a place for them to succeed. About 30-50% of our employees have special needs. It's important to know that we treat our employees like employees. Someone with special needs is working the same job as someone without a special need, in unison. It's a beautiful thing to watch, to see our employees succeed, grow themselves and also in the understanding of being a contributing member of our society.  What's next for Morgan's Wonderland? Our growth and development isn't slowing down anytime soon. We are developing a sports complex, residential camp venue and multi-assistant center, which will be coordinated healthcare.

What is the main difference between one-on-one coaching and a Mastermind Group?  What are the benefits and pros and cons of each? How do you know if you're ready to lead a Mastermind and should you find somebody to lead it for you? How do you screen potential members for a Mastermind Group? Do Aaron’s facilitators utilize a set curriculum?  Aaron discusses how to select the best content and price point for a Mastermind Group.

ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 017 The Value of Genetic Counselors Podcasts have played a huge part in finding community and they’ve served as a way of educating myself. I loved Eleanor Griffith's mission in her podcast, Patient Stories. After being a guest on her podcast, I emailed her a few months later and asked for tips to get my own podcast off the ground. She was so gracious with all her shared wisdom. In addition to her podcast, Eleanor is a Genetic Counselor and Founder of Grey Genetics. I've asked her to join me for this episode to discuss and share her expertise on the importance of genetic counseling.    EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS What does a Genetic Counselor do? What a Genetic Counselor does depends on the setting they work in. In terms of a pediatric setting, Genetic Counselors will often work with a Medical Geneticist as part of a team in a hospital. The Genetic Counselor will meet with the family, get information, explain testing options, go over test results. The Medical Geneticist will come in for a portion of that appointment to do a physical exam as well.  For parents that don't yet have a diagnosis for their child, what would you say to those parents who are hesitant in seeking out your services? For everything in life that has an advantage, there's a disadvantage which is true of genetic testing. The potential disadvantages can vary a lot depending on the reason for testing and the specifics of the situation. In a prenatal setting, testing for some people is personality dependent. Some people think the more information, the better, knowledge is power and they can make informed decisions. For others, they don't want the information, it wouldn't change anything and would only stress them out. In pediatrics, there's fewer disadvantages because you already have a child who has special needs or developmental delay and a diagnosis can help with receiving the needed services. People may hesitate to avoid a diagnosis being labeled, but it can help in finding community and can provide medical management direction.  How has your job changed since the boom in genetic testing and it becoming more accessible, more affordable and more talked about? I graduated in 2011, so in that sense I'm a newer Genetic Counselor and some of those changes were happening when I was graduating. I've also jumped around to several settings, and changes affect varying settings differently. Overall, I'm seeing more genetic testing driven by sales and marketing and there's much more direct-to-consumer testing. Tied to that is a lot of people interested in ancestry testing and certain health concerns, which is murky and mostly unreliable. In doctor's offices, sales reps are present to provide genetics education, but from a commercial angle.   What's it like as a Genetic Counselor to deliver a diagnosis to a family? Aside from my experience as a student, I haven't worked in pediatric genetics and I can't speak specifically. I have experience delivering diagnosis related to hereditary cancer risks and prenatal genetic testing results. It's hard. Not in the way that it's hard for patients, but you're always hoping for good news for them. With pediatrics, you already know there's a problem, so good news can mean we have part of an answer and a direction. Overall, I'm glad I get to be the person that shares this information with patients and to be there for them. Have you ever given a diagnosis that was uplifting or relieving for them?  With hereditary cancer, yes to a certain extent. When someone has a strong pattern of cancer in the family and they're looking for information to guide their medical care, they feel they can take something from the results. For most people, it takes time to feel uplifted or relieved. Initially, they may feel shocked or in disbelief, they go through stages of processing and then feel grateful and are able to see the positive side.  When, why and how does someone contact you for genetic counseling? In most states, Genetic Counselors can't order genetic testing on their own without a physician. If someone is interested in testing, they're connected to a physician who is willing to order testing or works with a Genetic Counselor who can order it under their name. For a pediatric situation, it's ideal to see a Medical Geneticist in person and have the physical exam. If you live far away from the nearest Medical Geneticist or there's a long wait to see them, a telehealth appointment can be valuable to review some information. The results that come from genetic testing should become part of the plan for someone's medical care, so a doctor should be looped in. As Genetic Counselors, we don't provide medical advice or medically manage patients. We're here to discuss risks, options, benefits and specialists.  What are your thoughts on the bill in front of Congress right now to make a lot of the research you would access in preparation to give a diagnosis, available to the public? I don't know much about this bill and it's not something I'm well informed on. I've heard a lot about these issues and I feel they're important issues. There's a lot of frustration outside the community of parents with kids with special needs. You have peer reviewed articles behind a paywall, especially associated with reputable journals and they're expensive. Outside of the cost and model for which the prices are set, there's the question of who is funding this research and it's not a simple answer. If research was done based on grant funding, that's funded by taxpayers. Even if it's a professor conducting research which was paid out of their salary, some public funding goes to universities and that comes back to taxpayer dollars. IT's fair to argue that we're all paying for this research and it's incredibly valuable, but the research is behind paywalls. The potential downside is, even with publicly available information, it's easy to misinterpret information or make assumptions when reading an article because all studies have limitations. What is your goal for Grey Genetics and what do you have planned for the future? My goal for Grey Genetics are pretty long term. I've tried to create a platform for Genetic Counselors to offer their services. We don't take insurance because genetic counseling isn't reimbursed well enough and insurance is difficult to navigate. At this point, people have to pay out of pocket. One long term goal is that the payment structure is changed. We do contract with healthcare providers so there's potential for us to work with patients that way too. With Genotypecast, I want to cover the different genetic topics in the news and to reach a different audience of people than Patient Stories and elevate Genetic Counselor professionals.

Damion Jenkins, RN, MSN, CEO and Author at The Nurse Speak, talks with Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy Podcast. In this episode, they discuss how Damion’s passion for nurse education led him to start his own business to help new graduate nurses  prepare for the NCLEX. Damion provides insights into the early stages of making the leap from healthcare practitioner to entrepreneur.   Episode Highlights: What was Damion doing before nursing school and how did he decide to pursue a career in nursing? How did the NCLEX go for Damion? Was it an easy process or did he struggle with it? Where was he working as a nurse when he decided to pursue entrepreneurship?  How did Damion spot the problem he chose to address with his business?  How did he get that business off the ground initially? What are some of the biggest struggles he’s faced transitioning to full-time entrepreneurship? What led Damion to focus his business on NCLEX prep? What went through his mind when he started hiring? What did he want to off-load first and why? What is the difference between a W-2 employee and a freelancer and why did Damion choose to hire freelancers? What was the third-party platform Damion used to find freelancers? How far is he in the process of developing his online course and what are some of the tips he offers to someone considering starting an e-learning course? How has Damion approached offering package options for his online courses? What are some resources Damion has found helpful during his entrepreneurial journey?   3 Key Points: It can be tempting to overextend your offerings. Finding a niche will help you focus on serving a specific audience with specific needs. When developing a course, consider how providing different packages or options may allow you to extend your reach.  Quality always drives business further than quantity. When you’ve honed your offering, people will pay more for your superior product or service.   Tweetable Quotes: “You have to take the leap and be confident in the product or service you have.” – Damion Jenkins “Let me focus on creating something amazing, that really meets the pain points of my target audience, do it really well and charge more than anyone else doing the same thing because I'm always going to be a little bit better.” – Damion Jenkins   Resources Mentioned: The Nurse Speak Website http://thenursespeak.com/ The Nurse Speak Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheNurseSpeak/ The Nurse Speak Instagram https://www.instagram.com/TheNurseSpeak/ The Nurse Speak Twitter https://twitter.com/TheNurseSpeak/ National Nurses in Business Association (NNBA) https://nnbanow.com/ Your Next Shift Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/your-next-shift-a-nursing-career-podcast/id1025968665 The Nurse Keith Show https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nurse-keith-show/id957244150 Freeeup https://freeeup.com/ #HealthcareEntrepreneurAcademy #HealthcareBoss #healthcare #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #nursed #nursepreneur #onlinecourses #nclexprep
