Today's mission was simple:

The conversation focused on the practice of providing managed service pricing to customers during an initial meeting. One concept discussed was that MSPs are encountering prospects who increasingly expect immediate, transparent pricing, with many decision-makers opting to make choices after a single round of vendor meetings. The discussion explored how this shift contrasts with traditional industry advice that recommends withholding pricing until after an in-depth assessment and value-building process. Several points were raised, including the observation that coming prepared—with thorough research on the prospect and a clear pricing structure—can facilitate business wins, especially in competitive settings where prospects expect streamlined proposals. A key theme that emerged was the importance of preparation ahead of initial client meetings. The discussion clarified that researching client backgrounds, conducting preliminary discoveries, and leveraging prior experience with similarly sized environments enable MSPs to present informed, realistic pricing. The conversation addressed that exceptions remain: in complex environments or when the client lacks clear infrastructure visibility, an assessment may still be necessary prior to quoting. However, these situations are reportedly less common, as clients often provide substantial upfront context during pre-meeting calls. Secondary topics included practical guidance for financing large product orders, navigating out-of-state project requirements, and managing margin compression. The discussion explored options for financing substantial hardware purchases, highlighting leasing through distributors or manufacturers, encouraging clients to handle their own financing where possible, and considering purchase order (PO) financing to reduce resource strain. For out-of-state projects, building a professional network through peer groups or leveraging distributor partner networks was recommended. Regarding margin management, participants suggested standardizing service stacks, packaging recurring solutions, and reviewing contracts to ensure annual rate adjustments. The use of value-added services, such as cybersecurity and compliance, was recommended to offset margin thinning. The discussion outlined several implications for MSPs and IT leaders. Responsive, transparent pricing aligns with current buyer expectations but requires robust preparation and established pricing models to maintain accountability and ensure fair risk allocation. For hardware procurement, shifting financial responsibility to clients or utilizing external financing tools can preserve operating capital and mitigate margin erosion. Resilient operational models—incorporating peer collaboration, flexible service packaging, and annual price reviews—enable firms to adapt to ongoing industry pressures including rising costs and tightening margins. MSPs are advised to prioritize accountability in client communications, vendor negotiations, and conflict resolution policies to reduce operational risk and protect organizational wellbeing.Title:       Should you give a proposal at the first meeting?

What started as a frustrating battle with my health insurance over a medication that has worked successfully for nearly two years led me to ask a much bigger question: Why are we so comfortable with women's suffering? In this episode, I explore why women's pain is so often treated as "normal"…whether it's menopause, chronic pain, endometriosis, caregiving exhaustion, or countless other experiences that disproportionately affect women. Drawing on current research, personal experience, and Caroline Criado Perez's groundbreaking book Invisible Women, I examine how women's health has historically been under-researched, underfunded, and too often treated as an afterthought. This episode isn't about blaming individual doctors or healthcare providers. It's about understanding how systems evolve and what happens when women's experiences are consistently treated as secondary rather than central. Most importantly, it's about hope. For perhaps the first time in history, women are connecting their experiences at scale. Through research, storytelling, and yes, even social media, women are realizing something profoundly important: It's not just me. When we name what has been invisible, we can finally begin to change it. Explored in this episode: Why my insurance appeal became a much bigger conversation about women's health Why "it's just menopause" may be one of the most harmful phrases we use The surprising lack of menopause education in medical training What current research reveals about reimbursement disparities in healthcare How Invisible Women explains the "gender data gap" Why women's suffering is often normalized rather than solved The role of social media in helping women compare notes, find language, and create change Why naming invisible inequities is the first step toward changing them Resources Mentioned Caroline Criado Perez, Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men Dr. Jocelyn Fitzgerald and colleagues' research on reimbursement disparities in gender-specific surgical procedures. Here is the most recent study: Penn, M., Colley, D., Koirala, P., King, L., & Fitzgerald, J. (2025). Price and prejudice: reimbursement of surgical care on male versus female anatomies. Journal of Women's Health, 34(5), 665-676. R E N É | J A Y

Amanda Reyes and Daniel Budnik joined me for a fascinating conversation inspired by the Soap Operas in Popular Culture Conference and their presentation, Daytime After Dark: Exploring the Relationship Between the Daytime Drama and the Primetime Made-for-TV Movie.Together, we looked at the surprising connection between daytime soap operas and the primetime TV movie boom of the 1970s, '80s, and '90s. Amanda and Dan shared how soap stars regularly crossed into made-for-TV movies, why networks embraced these actors in primetime projects, and how these films became major television events for audiences across the country.We also discussed their love of soap operas, the origins of The Made-For-TV Mayhem Show, and some of the most memorable TV movies of the era.As a special surprise, Colleen Zenk joined us to share memories of appearing in Woman on the Ledge alongside Deidre Hall and Leslie Charleson, and she also looked back at her memorable role as Binky in the cult classic Christmas Evil.If you love soap operas, television history, pop culture nostalgia, and behind-the-scenes stories, this is an episode you will not want to miss.

How can we know more about the Moon and Mars than the bottom of our own ocean? It sounds impossible, but it is true. In this episode, we begin a special series on deep ocean exploration by uncovering why so much of our planet remains a mystery and why that matters more than ever. The deep ocean plays a critical role in regulating Earth's climate, supporting marine life, and helping sustain the ecosystems we depend on every day. Yet scientists have only explored a tiny fraction of it because of crushing pressure, complete darkness, and the enormous scale of the seafloor. You'll discover why exploring the deep sea is far more than an adventure; it is essential for making better decisions about conservation. This episode sets the stage for an upcoming interview with experts from Oceans Network Canada and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada who are helping reveal Canada's hidden underwater world. Before we can protect the ocean, we first have to understand it. And that journey begins here.

(PATREON EXCLUSIVE)Kathryn & Melvin have both read the Tomie manga, but only Kathryn has finished reading it, and the two share their thoughts.Kathryn, "[Tomie] is a good highlight reel of Tomie the manga."Tomie is playing with a lot of ideas, but very few feel fully realized.Perhaps the main idea explored in Tomie, which is inherent to the character, is toxic femininity, and a woman's ability to use their feminine power for their own desires.Toxic gender ideologies deny the truth of image-bearing; that both man AND woman bear God's image when in healthy relationship (platonic and/or romantic).Talking about Tomie as a character.Talking about flowers, and the choice to reveal Tomie's face later in the film.Trying to understand the ending, which introduces some complex ideas to an already layered film.Cross-examining Tomie and Tsukiko; what they share, how they differ, and forgiveness (or, the lack thereof). Recommendations:Black Paradox (2007-2008) (Manga)Hauntress (Zashiki Onna) (1993) (Manga) Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks! Early access to uncut episodes Vote on a movie/show we review One-time reward of two Cinematic Doctrine Stickers & PinsSocial Links: ThreadsWebsiteInstagramLetterboxdFacebook Group 

Episode number 150! Thank you for listening, subscribing, liking, and sharing. Without you, we wouldn't have reached this milestone.To celebrate, we're tackling a topic we haven't talked about on the podcast before: audio, lighting, and video. On this episode, David speaks with a friend of around 20 years, Josh Mierly. Josh is a freelance production manager for live touring acts, meaning nightclub, amphitheater, theater, festival, arena, and stadium operators will be speaking with him about the acts they've booked to perform.During this friendly but informative chat, Josh explains what it takes for an artist and the production team to work with a venue: the venue's capabilities on paper, what it's actually capable of delivering that day or night, building a positive working relationship with production managers and their teams, problem solving to ensure the show is a success and helps the venue make its sales, brands to consider, and why nightclub operators need to invest in the right audio engineer rather than just the most affordable.He also touches on what goes on in the booth or on stage, protecting your hearing, and some entertaining stories from the road (including tour bus etiquette).

Episode Summary Alimony is not a formula. It's not a calculator output. It's not what your friend got. In this episode, Karen and Catherine explain what actually goes into evaluating spousal support — and why financial clarity before negotiation is the difference between a settlement that holds up and one that falls apart in six months. The Right First Question Most people ask: “What number should I expect?” The better question is: what financial information needs to be in place before this conversation can responsibly happen at all? Support is not a number. It's a relationship between two households after divorce. Until you understand both households, any number is a guess wearing a lab coat. What Really Drives Alimony Spousal support analysis depends on more than a W-2. Key factors include: • Length of the marriage and marital lifestyle • Full income picture: bonuses, commissions, K-1s, distributions, equity comp, passive income • Post-divorce expenses for each household • Assets — which produce cash flow vs. which just sit there • Debts each spouse is taking on • Earning capacity and time out of the workforce Property division and support are the same conversation, not separate rooms. What someone keeps — and what it costs to keep it — directly affects what support has to look like. Why Calculators Only Get You Partway There Online spousal support calculators are a starting point — not a strategy. They don't verify documents, review bank statements, or account for variable income. They don't know whether bonuses repeat, whether income is partially held inside a business, or whether the lifestyle being used as a baseline was funded with debt. Calculators are only as good as the data going in. In divorce, the data going in is almost never complete on day one. How Long Does Alimony Last? Duration depends on state law, marriage length, type of support, and more — your attorney is the right guide there. But the more useful financial question is: what happens when it ends? Scenario modeling shows both households month by month, year by year, so cliffs and gaps surface before the settlement is signed — not six months after. The Documents That Matter Most • 3 years of personal tax returns (with all schedules and K-1s) • 12 months of bank and credit card statements • Paystubs and bonus history for both spouses • Business tax returns, P&Ls, and distribution records (if applicable) • Current statements for every account: retirement, investment, loans, equity comp Without these, you're negotiating from memory. With them, you can start asking the right questions. In This Episode • Why the support number is the tip of the iceberg • How business income hides inside W-2s and distributions • Why AI tools and calculators are education, not analysis • How scenario modeling changes negotiation from fear to information • A practical document checklist to start gathering this week My Divorce Solution has helped 5,000+ clients across all 50 states gain financial clarity during divorce through the MDS Financial Portrait™ and the We Chat Divorce podcast. www.mydivorce-solution.com This episode is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

In this episode of We Chat Divorce, Karen Chellew and Catherine Shanahan unpack one of the most common—and costly—realities in divorce: financial blind spots within a marriage. Inspired in part by the broader conversation sparked by the popular book Strangers: a Memoir of Marriage , this discussion moves beyond the emotional narrative and into the financial truth many individuals face when divorce becomes real. Because while the emotional impact often gets the attention, it's the lack of financial clarity that can have lasting consequences. Through real client experiences, Karen and Catherine reveal how often individuals enter divorce without a clear understanding of their financial picture. Unknown accounts, overlooked debts, and incomplete visibility aren't signs of irresponsibility—they're the result of financial roles that “worked” until they didn't. The problem is, once divorce begins, you're no longer living within the system—you're being asked to evaluate, explain, and divide it. This episode reinforces a core principle: being financially supported is not the same as being financially informed. Without clarity, decisions are made under pressure, legal costs increase, and long-term outcomes can suffer. That's why My Divorce Solution focuses on financial clarity before legal action—organizing, verifying, and analyzing your full financial picture so you can move forward with confidence, not confusion. About My Divorce Solution We Chat Divorce is produced by My Divorce Solution (MDS) — a financial divorce preparation company dedicated to helping individuals navigate divorce with clarity, confidence, and a strategic financial plan. Founded by Karen Chellew, Legal Liaison, and Catherine Shanahan, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA), MDS was created to solve one of the most common and costly mistakes in divorce: entering the legal process without fully understanding your financial picture. Divorce is not just a legal event — it is a financial transition that can shape your long-term security. Through the MDS Divorce Financial Portrait™, clients receive expert financial analysis, organized financial disclosures, and scenario planning to understand how different settlement decisions impact their future. This financial preparation often reduces legal fees, shortens the divorce process, and helps individuals negotiate from a position of knowledge rather than fear.If you are considering divorce or already in the process, you can begin by taking the Free Divorce Financial Assessment to better understand your options. You can also join the MDS Community for expert guidance, educational resources, and live Q&A events designed to help you move from uncertainty to clarity.

This episode dives into history with best-selling author Jack El-Hai to follow psychiatrist Douglas Kelley from wartime trauma work to the Nuremberg prison cells where he tested infamous Nazi defendants and walked away with a conclusion that still chills. Our hosts wrestle with what it means to stop believing in “monsters,” how propaganda exploits ordinary minds, and what Kelley thought democracies must do to resist authoritarianism.The most unsettling Nuremberg detail that is shared isn't a single document or confession. It's the possibility that the architects of mass violence can look psychologically ordinary when you put them under the lens of clinical testing. That's where our conversation with El-Hai begins, as we dig into his book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist. Douglas Kelley arrives after World War II as a U.S. Army psychiatrist tasked with a narrow forensic job: determine whether the top Nazi defendants are mentally fit to stand trial. But he can't stop there. Using interviews and tools like the Rorschach, he quietly chases a bigger question in forensic psychiatry and psychology: is there a shared mental illness that explains crimes on this scale? His conclusion flips the comforting story many of us want to tell, and forces a harder look at motivation, opportunism, loyalty, and the ways propaganda and authoritarian movements press upon normal human weaknesses. We also discuss Kelley's volatile rapport with Hermann Göring, a master manipulator who draws Kelley into long conversations and even convinces him to pass letters to his family. From there, the conversation widens into the present: mental health stigma, why “evil” can be a trap word, and Kelley's post-Nuremberg warnings about civic vulnerability, critical thinking education, and voting access. We end with the troubling echo between Göring's cyanide suicide and Kelley's own death, and what that says about control, identity, and despair. Subscribe for more psychology-forward conversations, share this with a friend who loves true history and mental health, and leave a review if you want more episodes that focus on history, like this one.  Please do share what you took away from listening to this edition of MindDive.Follow The Menninger Clinic on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to stay up to date on new Mind Dive episodes.

What if the secret to saving a mission wasn't a merger but building something big enough to protect it? In this episode, Ryan Dewey Smith shares how frustration with traditional merger models led him to incorporate Inperium on January 12, 2016, from a firehouse office in Reading, Pennsylvania. What started as a bold experiment in nonprofit consolidation has since grown into a constellation of 34 companies across 20 states, approaching $1 billion in annualized revenue and serving roughly 300,000 people a month. Inperium operates as a behind-the-scenes parent organization providing capital, HR, IT, finance, and general administrative services at scale, driving costs down so that affiliated organizations can invest more into the people they serve. Ryan honors Jay Depper, his Chief Development Officer and the man whose early belief in the model set the trajectory for Inperium's first five years. Met through a broker just nine months after incorporation, Jay came in as a potential affiliate CEO and stayed as a partner. Their relationship survived a three-year disconnection following a post-COVID disagreement, was restored over four days in Ryan's home, and has since produced four new deals in a single year.   [00:03:46] What Inperium Does and Who It Serves Aggregator and orchestrator of behavioral health and human service organizations across four primary service areas Currently 34 companies across 20 states serving roughly 300,000 people a month Behind-the-scenes parent providing capital, HR, IT, finance, and G&A at scale so affiliated organizations can invest more into the people they serve [00:05:34] How Ryan Got Into This Work Started his first company in 1993 in the intellectual and developmental disability space and grew it for nearly two and a half decades to $65M in revenue Hit a crossroads where rising costs were outpacing their ability to serve their population Explored traditional mergers and acquisitions in 2014 and 2015; found every option reduced autonomy and stripped organizations of community standing Created Inperium as an alternative: scale the back office, protect the mission, keep the culture [00:08:11] Incorporated January 12, 2016 Organizations keep their own boards, cultures, leadership, assets, contracts, and community standing Philanthropic dollars stay with the organizations rather than being absorbed by a parent Just over 10 years later: nearly $1 billion in revenues, 34 companies, 20 states [00:09:04] What Inspires Ryan Most Every new partner added to the constellation drives costs down for existing partners and brings new subject matter expertise, geography, and service acumen Serves populations that are in most cases underserved with limited alternatives Calls it "impact squared" and then some [00:10:13] Saving Resources for Human Development Last major transaction closed December 2025: Resources for Human Development, founded 1970, on the brink of insolvency with bank loans called and 1,800 jobs at risk In six months, Inperium recapitalized the business, retired the debt, and moved it into tax-exempt public municipal markets Reduced general and administrative costs from nearly 25 cents on the dollar to 9 cents on the dollar Organization is now solvent, growing, and expanding into new geographies [00:13:25] The Relationship That Changed Everything: Jay Depper Met Jay Depper in September 2016, just nine months after incorporation, through broker Kevin Fee Jay was CEO of Edison Court in Bucks County, PA; affiliated with Inperium and spent the next four years building the model together Jay's early adoption and belief in the concept set the trajectory for Inperium's first five years of growth After COVID, the two disagreed on direction and Jay resigned; they disconnected personally and professionally for three years [00:15:30] Four Days That Rebuilt a Partnership Over a year ago, Ryan brought Jay to his home for a four-day in-person meeting to unpack everything before agreeing to move forward Jay returned as full-time Chief Development Officer; together they consummated four deals in the year since his return Ryan describes their dynamic as "an unstoppable force" in developing Inperium [00:16:27] Scaling to $2-3 Billion: The Vision Plan to expand from four to roughly ten total services verticals including higher education and arts Goal is to drive back office costs to 5 or 6 cents on the dollar at that scale, down from 9 cents today Agnostic to size, geography, and services; evaluates all comers and starts with yes [00:20:14] First Deal Outside Pennsylvania Inperium started Pennsylvania-centric; first out-of-state deal closed in New Jersey, followed by Raleigh, North Carolina North Carolina was the epiphany: proof of concept beyond the Commonwealth, now operating in 20 states Nothing preventing expansion to all 50 states; already has 13 companies in Pennsylvania alone collaborating across service spaces   KEY QUOTES "People are paying attention. People are showing that there's proof in this concept. That was an epiphany for me that this is bigger than just Harrisburg to Philadelphia." - Ryan Dewey Smith "Our assets remained ours. Our contracts remained ours. Our legacy was insulated from a business combination. That's what I did." - Ryan Dewey Smith "We start with yes. Our business is built around adding business partners that are accretive to our constellation." - Ryan Dewey Smith CONNECT WITH RYAN DEWEY SMITH

In this episode, Dr. David Puder hosts a discussion on schizoid personality dynamics through the lens of Franz Kafka's life and writings. Discover why the DSM-5's surface-level criteria for schizoid personality disorder falls short, often missing the intense inner conflict between a profound yearning for connection and a paralyzing fear of engulfment. Drawing on the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (PDM), Nancy McWilliams' insightful perspectives, and Kafka's unsent "Letter to His Father" plus classics like "The Metamorphosis," the group explores how schizoid traits differ from autism, involve hypersensitivity rather than social cue deficits, and manifest in creative, introspective individuals.
