** Exploring China's Economic Shift and Data Insights with Robert Wu**Introduction to Robert Wu and His ExpertiseConnect with RobertVisit BigOneLabRead BaiguanRead China TranslatedIn this episode of the Asia Business Podcast, we have an engaging conversation with Robert Wu, a respected figure in the field of economic analysis and business strategy. Robert is known for his insightful writings and is the author of "China Translated," a newsletter that offers a deep dive into China's economic trends and their long-term impacts. He is also the co-editor of Baiguan, which provides data-driven insights into China's business sector, and the CEO of Big One Lab, a data-centric market research company.China's Economic Transition: From Investment to ConsumptionThe episode begins with a discussion on China's economic transition towards boosting domestic consumption. Robert emphasizes a pivotal shift in policy thinking, focusing on the relationship between investment and consumption. Historically, China's economy has been heavily skewed towards investment, leading to impressive infrastructure and manufacturing capabilities. However, this model has reached a tipping point, requiring a rebalancing towards consumption to sustain growth. Robert suggests that while the government recognizes this need, the shift requires long-term structural changes and cannot be achieved overnight.Obstacles to Enhancing Domestic ConsumptionArt and Robert explore the challenges in increasing domestic consumption in China. Contrary to some perceptions, Robert asserts that China's safety nets, including healthcare and education, are relatively robust. However, he highlights issues such as child care expenses and regional disparities that need addressing to encourage consumer spending. Cultural factors also play a role, with older generations tending to save rather than spend. Robert predicts potential policy initiatives, such as birth subsidies, to incentivize higher consumption levels.The State of Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital in ChinaThe conversation shifts to the state of entrepreneurship and venture capital in China. Robert paints a picture of a changing landscape, where U.S. capital, a significant driver of China's VC scene, has withdrawn amidst geopolitical tensions. This retreat has forced local entrepreneurs to adapt, focusing more on sustainable, profitable operations rather than relying on VC funding. Although this environment poses challenges, Robert sees it as an opportunity for businesses to build solid foundations, paving the way for a resurgence in entrepreneurial activity.Government Policies and Economic BalanceArt and Robert delve into the complexities of China's government policies, particularly the balancing act between fiscal stimulus and avoiding moral hazards. Robert provides insights into how the government carefully manages domestic economic policies, recognizing the challenges posed by local government debt and the need to drive consumption. Through careful prioritization and measured interventions, Robert believes China aims to sustain growth while preventing excessive risk-taking by local governments.Navigating Regulatory Environments and Market ReactionsThe episode also touches on China's regulatory environment, where crackdowns on sectors such as online education and FinTech have sparked debates. Robert acknowledges the government's need to manage these industries while also recognizing the importance of considering broader market reactions. By learning from past experiences, the government aims to communicate more effectively and avoid unintended economic consequences.Conclusion: An Objective Look at China's Economic DynamicsIn closing, Robert emphasizes the importance of maintaining an objective perspective when analyzing China's economic dynamics. Despite facing various challenges, the country continues to present significant opportunities for businesses and investors. Through his writings, Robert aims to shed light on the complexities of China's business environment, encouraging a balanced and well-informed discussion. Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome01:27 Robert Wu's Background and Career Journey05:55 China's Economic Evolution and Policy Shifts14:03 Challenges in Boosting Domestic Consumption19:43 The State of Venture Capital and Entrepreneurship in China27:37 Challenges in VC Funding and Entrepreneurship29:16 VC Funding: A Double-Edged Sword30:21 Government's Fiscal Discipline and Economic Priorities31:05 Balancing Fiscal Stimulus and Moral Hazard35:40 Sector Crackdowns and Policy Implications41:21 Navigating Misinformation and Bias46:38 The Motivation Behind Writing and Sharing Insights51:02 Conclusion and Future Plans ProducerJacob ThomasFollow UsLinkedInApple Podcasts

Yeah, I made a meme for the show with Marilyn Bartlett. My very first meme ever. In this meme, I picture that Olympic silver medalist shooter from Turkey who showed up in a T-shirt and his hand in his pocket versus the others with all their fancy equipment that, turns out, may or may not be necessary, regardless of who might swear up and down that complexity requires even more complexity and plenty of expensive gear to shoot straight. Point being, it's amazing what a dedicated CPA with a spreadsheet and their eye on the target can accomplish in the real world when they just do their thing and follow the dollar. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. And with that, Marilyn Bartlett has entered the chat. Marilyn Bartlett isn't called the “Queen of Healthcare” for no good reason, and nobody is joking when they say this. She was probably the first person (or one of the first, at a minimum) to truly identify the amount of money getting sucked out of the wallets of taxpayers and employers and plan members and into the pockets of the healthcare and insurance and consulting industries. She is a through and through numbers person but also deeply cares. She is truly a senior stateswoman in our field. Let's start from the beginning here. But you'll have to listen to the interview that follows for the end and most of Marilyn's really sage advice and words of inspiration for any of you, for all of us, trying really hard to fix healthcare and, any day of the week, taking two steps forward and/or five steps back. It's what Mike Tyson was talking about when he said, “Everybody has a plan until [you] get punched in the face.” And yeah, I'd say pretty confidently that everyone in the Relentless Health Value tribe trying to fix healthcare has been there at some point or another. So, here's where I begin the conversation with Marilyn Bartlett today. One day in 2014 or 2015, Marilyn was minding her own business as a CFO at a regional TPA (third-party administrator) firm about ready to retire when the state of Montana reached out. They asked if she would consider being the plan administrator for the state employee health plan, which was, turned out, headed for bankruptcy. Marilyn took the job, and she took the state health plan from $9 million in the hole—they were in debt $9 million—to $112 million to the good. Well, meanwhile, plan members got better benefits. Think about that: $9 million in the hole to $112 million in the good. In fact, the plan had so much money in 2018 when Marilyn left that the state took some of it to pay for other things in the budget. This is truly mind blowing. I mean, get a CPA with their eye on the ball, and this is the difference that is possible to be made in a state health plan. It also just needs to be said that this same state plan, the one that was going bankrupt, clearly had seen over $100 million of taxpayer money exit stage left and wind up in the bank account of their vendors. Now might be a good time to mention something that Chris Deacon wrote about: the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program. This is a $55 billion program, once again funded by taxpayers. As per an OIG (Office of the Inspector General) audit, there are no written policies or procedures over approval and payment of funds to the carriers via ACH (Automated Clearing House). Wait, what? This is just one example, along with a whole lot of other things that kind of make you go, “Hmmm … can a CPA with a spreadsheet please get in there and do your thing?” In the conversation that follows, I ask Marilyn to tell me what she did in roughly three short years to do her thing and save the state of Montana over $100 million while improving benefits of the state workers. And she tells me, short version, she created a why—that's step one. Step two, she looked at her spreadsheets and financial analyses and quantified the situation. She was able to identify a few big hairy problems, which she then hit fast and hard with solutions. This is gonna accomplish a couple of things if you do this, find a solution for a big enough problem. First, it creates a quick win; and quick wins are needed to get some momentum to get started. Second, she knew that by solving big hairy problems, the solutions would have an outsized impact given the scope of these original problems. This is kind of Strategy 101. And then step three, she dug in on assembling the right team with the right skills to make it through what amounts to a change management process, I'm gonna say. What did Marilyn not do in those three years? She did not get captivated or sidetracked by any, I'm gonna call it, transformational theater—which is not easy because a lot of transformation theater has more glitter than a Las Vegas show and is really hard to look away from. It's as magical as most magical thinking. Also, Marilyn stayed the course in the face of what I am sure were many opportunities for personal gain that would have not been a win-win for the state of Montana or its employees. To emphasize how one should not take this for granted, I was talking to a benefits leader the other day and you know what she told me? She said she always goes with this one carrier every year because if you go with that one, when you get invited to their box at the NFL games, you can go out on the field afterwards. I mean, it's really fun to meet the players. Unfortunately, for so many in positions of power, when doing the right thing by taxpayers and/or plan members stands between them and box seats, the right thing gets escorted out of the building. Mentioned in this show, we have Cora Opsahl and Claire Brockbank, who both will be featured in upcoming shows about RFPs (request for proposals) and best practices and how they can go right and also occasionally take a left turn. Check the links to episodes about pharmacy benefits and PBMs (pharmacy benefit managers). I might think of some others, but you'll definitely want to listen to the show with Paul Holmes (EP397); the one with Mark Cuban and Ferrin Williams, PharmD, MBA (EP418); and also AJ Loiacono (EP379). Also mentioned in this episode are Chris Deacon; Cora Opsahl; Claire Brockbank; Mark Cuban; Ferrin Williams, PharmD, MBA; AJ Loiacono; and Shawn Gremminger.

She recently developed the Hospital Cost Tool for the National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP), an interactive online tool which utilizes hospital Medicare Cost Report data to calculate various hospital metrics used to support hospital and health system financial analysis and health policy. As administrator of the Montana State Employee Health Plan, she disrupted the status quo by implementing Medicare rate reference-based contracting with all Montana hospitals, enhancing primary care through near-sight health centers, moving to a transparent, pass-through PBM, eliminating duplication of vendor services, and improving data access and analytics. These efforts increased plan reserves from actuarial projections of -$9 million to $112 million in two years. For her efforts, Fortune magazine selected Marilyn as #13 of the World's 50 Greatest Leaders.   06:45 What gave Marilyn the confidence to fix Montana's state health plan? 08:11 Why Marilyn knew she would have enough power to make the changes needed in Montana's state health plan. 09:11 What Marilyn achieved in her time as the administrator of the Montana State Employee Health Plan. 10:38 What were the “quick wins” Marilyn was able to achieve when she first took over as administrator? 17:33 Stay tuned for an upcoming episode that covers RFP in detail. 17:50 How Marilyn structured her plan for the Montana State Employee Health Plan. 21:21 What's the key to setting yourself up for success when doing what Marilyn was able to achieve? 25:02 Why putting together your own team is so important. 29:07 What happened when Marilyn left the Montana State Employee Health Plan? 31:08 Have the costs of the plan gone up since Marilyn's time working on it?   You can learn more by connecting with Marilyn on LinkedIn.   Marilyn Bartlett discusses #healthplan finances on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #healthcareleadership #healthcaretransformation #healthcareinnovation #vbc   Recent past interviews: Click a guest's name for their latest RHV episode!

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 366 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden & Dr. Craig Spodak GUEST:  Chandler Wrightenberry DESCRIPTION In this conversation, Peter, Craig, and Chandler discuss various topics related to interest rates, investing, and borrowing money. They touch on the Federal Reserve's recent meeting, the impact of interest rate changes on borrowing costs, and the current state of the labor market. The conversation highlights the importance of data-driven decision-making and the potential benefits of owning commercial real estate as a dentist. Chandler from Live Oak Bank joins the conversation and shares statistics on the success rate of dental practice loans. They also discuss the average growth rate of practices after expanding or building a new facility. The conversation highlights the importance of education, self-awareness, and finding a supportive network in overcoming the fear of taking on financial risks. They also emphasize the value of building a strong relationship with a lender who understands the dental industry. TAKEAWAYS Lower interest rates can make it a good time to invest in oneself, such as buying a practice or expanding a dental office. Data-driven decision-making is crucial when considering investments and taking on debt. Owning commercial real estate can be advantageous for dentists, as it allows for potential appreciation and tax benefits. Taking calculated risks and betting on oneself can lead to long-term success. Align gut instincts with financial analysis when considering practice growth opportunities. Live Oak Bank has a high success rate for dental practice loans, with only a small percentage of loans going bad. Expanding or building a new facility can lead to an average growth rate of 25% in the first year. Overcoming the fear of taking on financial risks requires education, self-awareness, and finding a supportive network. Building a strong relationship with a lender who understands the dental industry is crucial for successful financing.

They can communicate telepathically and are interested in guiding Earth to a more spiritual path, Chong said. He added that they have been involved in our history over millennia, including helping the Allied powers defeat the Nazis by not allowing them to develop the atomic bomb. According to Desmarquet, the aliens revealed that the Great Pyramid of Egypt was constructed 17,000 years ago by Thoth from the continent of Atlantis using anti-gravity technology. The Thiaooubans also explained that ghosts are made up of electrons, "and when a person dies, the astral body remains on Earth for about three days," but a certain percentage of the electrons linger after that and resemble the shape of the once-living person, Chong detailed.Chong said that ET technologies are being withheld from the public, and the way that we can discern UFOs is that human-made craft are triangular while alien ships are spherical. According to Desmarquet, to move through the vast distances of deep space, the Thiaooubans use a combination of traveling faster than the speed of light and teleportation. Further, they use antigravity on their home world for their transportation needs.The ETs have also offered information about Earth mysteries, said Chong: The Great Pyramid is an energy center that captures cosmic energy, in order to communicate with ETs on other planets, while the Bermuda Triangle is an entry to a portal to a parallel universe. Learning its secrets can solve many "Missing 411" cases, as documented by David Paulides, Chong added. According to the Thiaooubans, the US military developed a time machine but made a mistake in adopting the wavelength-- instead, they should have used the "vibration of the Akashic Records." Chong also talked about his translation of the book "334 ‰ Lies: The Revelation of H. M. v. Stuhl," which deals with secret societies and the Illuminati.A certified court interpreter and Chinese translator in Los Angeles, Samuel Chong, was instrumental in organizing the Chinese publication of Desmarquet's book, Thiaoouba Prophecy: The Golden Planet, which has been a bestseller in both China and Taiwan, a rare phenomenon. He also translated the book "334 ‰ Lies: The Revelation of H. M. v. Stuhl", an autobiography of the High Master of the Chair of a secret society that was started in Germany. He now devotes his efforts to promoting the messages of these books to give people hope and help promote a better world through his scholarship.He holds a B.A. in Economics from UC Berkeley, an M.A. in Financial Analysis from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, and a JD degree from Northwestern California University School of Law.
