EPISODE 622 - Diana Harmon Asher - Author of Sidetracked, Upstaged, and Trouble Finds Evie LefkowitzI'm Diana Harmon Asher, the author of Sidetracked, Upstaged, and the upcoming Trouble Finds Evie Lefkowitz.It took me a long time to get a book published. A really long time.There were a lot of “no's” before I got to “yes.” But I kept writing and I kept learning. Finally, I wrote Sidetracked, and the answer was “yes!”One of my teachers used to say that every character you create contains a piece of yourself. I definitely share a lot of worries with Joseph, and I'd like to think I'm a good friend like Heather. I'm an opera fan like Grandpa and I love Inishbofin sheep and Dickens, like Mrs. Fishbein. I hope I have some of Cassie's goofiness in me, and like Paul, I'll never fit in with the cool kids. I share Shira's shyness, some of her stage experience (see photo) and a lot of her stage fright.Like my newest character, Evie, my father was a cantor at our synagogue (something you'll find out more about in the book), and he passed away when I was young. But also like Evie, I was surrounded by love and good friends. I never really did get into a lot of trouble…but maybe I should have! I hope I share Evie's resilience, her optimism, and most of all, her sense of humor.Writing itself makes me happy. But knowing that readers are enjoying my books is even better. I love when kids identify with Heather, or when a student proudly announces that they have ADD just like Joseph. I love the thought that some of you might be encouraged to strive for your own personal record, audition for a show, try out for a team, stick up for an old friend, and be open to new ones.And I hope all of my stories give you a few chuckles along the way.I look forward to meeting and hearing from more of you in the months and years to come!https://dianaharmonasher.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Going Pro at 57: `GM Alex Fishbein on How New and Challenging Training Methods Fueled an Upset win at the US Senior Invitational At 57 years old, Tennessee-based Grandmaster and Author, Alex Fishbein, has built an impressive chess résumé, with 12 state-championship titles across four states and multiple appearances in U.S. Championship events. But until recently, his chess had always been balanced with a demanding finance career. Last year, for the first time since age 24, Alex stepped away from Wall Street to devote himself fully to chess—an experiment that paid off quickly. Through a rigorous and unconventional study routine—including his unique “post-postmortem” method—Alex pulled off a surprise victory at the 2025 U.S. Senior Invitational, despite entering as the second-lowest rated player. In our conversation, he reflects on: The training methods that fueled his breakthrough His advice for caring less about ratings The outsized role of age and stamina in senior chess Lessons learned from legends like Korchnoi and Keres Alex's story shows the power of playing actively against all comers, staying curious, and embracing new challenges, and he provides inspiration for chess players of all levels.

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today's show is Dr. Bethany Fishbein, OD, consultant and executive coach with Leaders of Vision. Bethany has been on the show many times in the past and today she joins us to talk about a topic that is admittedly harder and more distressing to talk about: embezzlement in optometry practices. In Bethany's experience as a consultant having worked with many practices over the years, she's unfortunately been privy to instances where embezzlement was happening. We talk about who's likely to do it, what they're likely to do, and small ways you can cross check the systems in your practice to ensure that you're running a tight business. As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today's conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center. While there, be sure to subscribe to our monthly “planning life on purpose” newsletter that's filled with tips and ideas to help you plan your best life, on purpose. You can also set up a Triage conversation to learn a little bit more about how we serve in the capacity of a personal and professional CFO: helping OD practice owners around the country reduce their tax bill, proactively manage cash flow, and make prudent investment decisions both in and out of their practice to ultimately help them live their best life on purpose. Lastly, if you're interested in learning more about the 20/20 Money Membership, a platform that we created to help ODs become “brilliant at the financial basics,” please check out the link in the show notes of this episode to learn more. And with that introduction, I hope you enjoy my conversation with Dr. Bethany Fishbein, OD.

ChatGPT Prompt/Answer Embezzlement in an optometry practice (or any healthcare setting) can occur in several ways due to the complex nature of transactions, including patient billing, insurance claims, and cash handling. Below are some realistic examples of how an employee might embezzle funds in an optometry practice: ### 1. **Billing Fraud:** - **Overcharging Insurance:** An employee could submit inflated insurance claims by increasing the cost of services or adding services that were never provided. They would then pocket the difference between the amount paid by the insurance company and the actual cost. - **Phantom Patients:** Creating fake patient records and submitting claims for services or products (like glasses or contacts) that were never provided, then diverting the insurance reimbursement to themselves. ### 2. **Skimming Cash Payments:** - **Cash Payments Not Recorded:** If a patient pays in cash, an employee might record the visit as "invoiced" or "to be billed later" rather than marking it as paid. The employee then takes the cash and destroys or alters any record of the payment. - **Under-reporting Receipts:** An employee could under-report the total cash collected at the end of the day, skimming small amounts regularly to avoid detection. ### 3. **Inventory Theft:** - **Selling Optical Inventory:** Employees could steal optical products (like glasses, contacts, frames, etc.) and resell them privately. Since optical products are high-margin items, this could go unnoticed if inventory management is lax. - **Ordering Extra Supplies:** Over-ordering contact lenses, frames, or other supplies and then selling the excess or returning items to vendors for cash or personal store credits. ### 4. **Falsifying Refunds or Discounts:** - **Fake Refunds:** An employee could process fake refunds for products or services and divert the refunded amount to their personal account or as cash. - **Unauthorized Discounts:** An employee might give unauthorized discounts to friends or family and accept a bribe or kickback in return. ### 5. **Manipulating Payroll or Expenses:** - **Payroll Padding:** The employee could inflate their working hours or add fake employees to payroll, then collect their salaries or wages. - **Expense Reimbursement Fraud:** An employee might submit inflated or completely fake expense reimbursement claims, such as fake mileage for business travel or falsified invoices for office supplies or services. ### 6. **Misappropriating Patient Deposits:** - **Misusing Prepayments:** In cases where patients prepay for services or products (e.g., contact lenses ordered in advance), an employee could misappropriate these funds, not recording the prepayment in the system. ### 7. **Altering Financial Records:** - **Adjusting Daily Ledgers:** An employee responsible for managing the daily financial ledger could adjust entries to match up with the cash they skimmed or misappropriated, making it appear as though the totals balance. - **Reconciling Bank Deposits:** Employees responsible for reconciling bank deposits might under-report the actual cash received, depositing a portion into their own account or taking some before it is deposited. ### 8. **Vendor Fraud:** - **Fake Vendor Invoices:** An employee could create a fake vendor, submit invoices for non-existent goods or services, and then approve payments to the fake vendor (which is actually the employee's personal account). - **Colluding with Suppliers:** An employee could collude with a real supplier to submit inflated invoices for services or products, splitting the overpayment with the vendor. ### Safeguards to Prevent Embezzlement: While this experiment is theoretical, it's crucial to implement safeguards to minimize the risk of embezzlement. These may include: - **Segregation of Duties:** Ensuring that no single employee has control over multiple aspects of financial transactions (e.g., someone handling cash should not be responsible for reconciling the ledger). - **Regular Audits:** Conducting surprise audits and thorough annual reviews to catch discrepancies early. - **Inventory Management:** Using automated systems to track inventory and spot unusual fluctuations in stock levels. - **Bank Reconciliation:** Assigning bank reconciliation duties to someone outside of the person handling deposits. - **Transparent Payroll:** Having a separate, trusted party regularly review payroll and expense reports. Testing your practice's internal controls without actually attempting fraud can help you spot weaknesses before they become a real problem. Would you like to explore specific ways to strengthen the financial controls in your practice?

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today's show is Dr. Bethany Fishbein, OD, Consultant & Executive Coach with Leaders of Vision. Bethany and I talk about a topic that an OD might not think about directly correlating to the financials of a practice: leadership skills. However, I believe that we quickly illustrate in our conversation how the things that negatively impact a practice's profitability—staff turnover, patients not returning, and an overworked/overwhelmed owner just to name a few—are usually the symptoms of an underlying “disease:” an owner that has neglected to focus on improving their leadership skills and emotional intelligence. Throughout this conversation, Bethany shares practical ways for owners to take action and, at the end, shares a very easy Next Best Step that an owner/leader can take to make progress. As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today's conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center.

Recorded June 8, 2024 at the National Open in Las Vegas Chess Books Recaptured returns to revisit an old book which now has a modern twist. My System by Aron Nimzowitsch is one of the best-selling and most recommended chess books of all time, but the original version has not aged well in some respects. In Book Recap #18, IM Christof Sielecki and I highlighted some of the classic book's shortcomings as viewed through a modern lens. Luckily, GM Alex Fishbein decided to update the book for a 21st century audience. The result is My System: Fast Track Edition,from Russell Enterprises (also available via Forward Chess). During my recent trip to the National Open in Las Vegas, Alex joined me to discuss My System's legacy, his personal history with the book, and why he decided that the chess world needed a better version. Following our chat, Alex took some questions from the audience, and briefly shared his thoughts on my book, Perpetual Chess Improvement. Timestamps of topics discussed are below. You can hear my discussion of prior editions of My System with IM Christof Sieleki in Book Recap #18- https://open.spotify.com/episode/1lkGXPkegq9flj5zEoGAxi?si=f82aa751388a4476 0:02- GM Alex FIshbein joins!

Mentioned: Simple Chess by GM Michael Stean 35:00- Audience question- “Would Alex consider editing a “fast track edition” of any other classic books?' Mentioned: Alekhine 1924 39:00- Audience question- “Did Alex include other concepts to the book in addition to those that were written about in the original?” 41:00- Audience question: “What foundational chess concepts are excluded from this book?” 43:00- Audience questions: “Is Alex familiar with the book by Raymond Keene, Nimowitsch: A Reappraisal?” “What about The Blockade?” 44:00- Audience question: “How much shorter is the fast track edition compared to the regular?” 44:00- Audience question; “Would he do a fast track edition of “Praxis” by Nimzowitsch?” 46:00- Audience question: “Do older books still matter as learning tools, as compared to playing games?” 49:00- Audience question: ‘What is the best way to read a chess book?' Mentioned: The Life and Games of Mikhail Tal 53:00- Alex shares his thoughts on my book, Perpetual Chess Improvement. Thanks to GM Alex Fishbein for joining me in Las Vegas!

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today's show is Bethany Fishbein, OD. Bethany joins me on the show live from Vision Expo East to talk about one of the most important relationships in an optometric practice: the relationship between the practice manager and the owner/OD. In this conversation, she talks about the evolution of the managerial role in the practice as the practice matures and grows, the characteristics of a valuable practice manager, the mistakes that both she and others have made when filling the practice manager role in the office, and the importance of the practice owner's vision for how they want the practice to function. She also shares how to think about creating a job description (and why you should use a templated job description as a starting point for creating your customized version) and how you can use an honest conversation with your practice manager to align expectations in your office...ultimately using that conversation as the launch point for future performance and goal reviews. As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today's conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center.

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today's show is Dr. Bethany Fishbein, CEO of The Power Practice and host of the Power Hour podcast. On today's episode we continue our dialogue that we started on my last appearance on the Power Hour podcast, which was around year-end planning. However, this conversation starts with the non-financial decision-making process that practice owners should be considering as they map out the direction of their practice going into the new year, specifically around the addition of treatments, therapies, and services they can provide to their patients. Bethany shares great insights on how practice owners can start thinking about which treatment/therapies/services ODs should consider in their practice, the dangers of giving into FOMO and the bandwagon effect, how to present change to both your team as well as an associate OD you might have in the practice, and the importance of understanding the opportunity cost of these decisions. We wrap up conversation by distilling all of this down into the most important KPI (key performance indicator) that you should be tracking and reconciling a decision like this against in your practice.

Orthodontics is a remarkable profession that offers practitioners various avenues to shape their careers and practices.Some orthodontists choose to practice independently, while others opt for large group practices. In today's discussion, we delve into the inspiring story of Dr. Ben Fishbein, a visionary orthodontist who has achieved remarkable success by leveraging hard work and strategic thinking.Dr. Fishbein's journey is a testament to the power of determination and smart practice management.In 2013, Dr. Fishbein purchased a small practice with just seven team members.This small endeavor would eventually grow into an orthodontic empire consisting of eight offices and employing 94 dedicated team members by the time he joined Smile Doctors DSO in 2020.This incredible growth occurred over approximately seven years, showcasing Dr. Fishbein's commitment and work ethic.He emphasizes that before scaling your practice, it's crucial to determine what kind of lifestyle you desire. This self-awareness serves as the foundation for your orthodontic journey.While his path may not align with everyone's goals, Dr. Fishbein believes tailoring your practice to your desired lifestyle is essential.One of the key takeaways from Dr. Fishbein's story is the concept of working hard for certain points in your career to achieve your dreams.His determination and willingness to put in the hours allowed him to achieve tremendous growth over a short period of time.His wife humorously notes that he put in 30 years of orthodontics in seven years while he worked tirelessly to expand his practice.Dr. Ben Fishbein has accomplished so much in such a short amount of time, and there are many lessons to learn.Take a few minutes and learn what went into building a sizable group of thriving, growing orthodontic practices and how you can apply many of these lessons to your own practice.Key TakeawaysIntro (00:00)Dr. Ben Fishbein's origin story (02:12)Ortho is an art and science but a business as well (08:56)How to massively scale an orthodontic practice (10:12)30 years of work in 7 years (13:45)Fishbein Fundamentals course (20:58)Hiring for success and delegating (24:31)How Dr. Fishbein gets good team members (28:26)Why you should have a call center (21:08)Key metrics to track in your practice (33:41)The decision to join a DSO (39:27)Additional Resources

Fishbein Orthodontics is regarded as one of the fastest-growing orthodontic practices in the country. They made $27 million in the biggest year and have more than 100 employees.Those are quite remarkable numbers.One of the driving forces behind this immense success is Amanda Floyd. She serves as the Chief Operating Officer with extensive knowledge of managing, scaling a business, and employee development.She will be speaking at the Orthopreneurs Summit in September on Creating Systems for Success.In this episode, she shares her insights and experiences on the key factors that contributed to the remarkable growth and success of the Fishbein organization.The key takeaway from her is that it all starts with the culture. Without a strong positive team culture in your practice, it doesn't matter what else you do. Culture is the foundation upon which to build everything else. The Fishbein organization attributes a significant portion of its success to its strong team culture. Amanda emphasizes that treating the team right is the first step towards delivering exceptional patient care. This approach ultimately translates into better patient experiences, as a happy and engaged team naturally provides better care and service.Amanda also shares some secrets to hiring and reveals the reason why they have not been impacted by the staff shortages that have hit our industry.Tune in to unlock valuable insights and gain a deeper understanding of how a successful practice works.Key Takeaways- Meet Amanda Floyd (00:30)- Challenges of scaling a practice (07:57)- Organic hiring for an Ortho practice (10:40)- Fishbein Fundamentals (19:05)- Culture drives everything (22:11)- The key to a successful partnership (26:19)- Collecting good people (27:23)- Ortho book to grow your practice (38:58)Additional Resources

Back in September of 2022, I held the first annual Strenuous Life Retreat at the renowned Zapata Ranch in Colorado's San Luis Valley. The retreat consisted of five days of adventure and education inspired by Theodore Roosevelt's well-known commitment to living “the Strenuous Life.” We hiked high into the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, rode horses in Great Sand Dunes National Park, and enjoyed world-class meals. And each afternoon, we enjoyed facilitated conversations about land stewardship, conservation, and regenerative agriculture. This episode is a recording of one of those conversations. - I was honored to be joined by conservation veteran Nancy Fishbein, who serves as Director of Resilient Lands for the Colorado Chapter of The Nature Conservancy. Nancy has been a long-standing leader in the Western conservation community, so we were all honored that she took time out of her full schedule to join us and share some stories and hard-earned wisdom. The Zapata Ranch is owned by the Nature Conservancy and managed by Ranchlands, so Nancy has a unique insight into the history of the ranch, as well as the importance of conservation in the San Luis Valley. - We recorded this conversation at the ranch's education center, one afternoon after a morning of horseback riding. The first half consists of me asking the questions, and the second half consists of questions from the retreat participants. We cover everything from the history of the Zapata Ranch to the establishment of Great Sand Dunes National Park, which adjoins the ranch to the north. We talk about the conservation bison herd that calls the ranch home, and some of the ongoing challenges in the San Luis Valley created by water speculation and development. We discuss how mineral rights development can coexist with conservation, the protection of biodiversity on ranches, how TNC and the National Park Service work together, and much more. As you'll hear, everyone in attendance was super engaged and curious about Nancy's work, and it showed in the range of interesting and thoughtful questions. - I hope this episode will give you a bit of insight into the types of conversations we had at the 2022 Retreat and the kind of conversations you can expect in 2023 and beyond. Colorado is blessed to have so many committed conservationists like Nancy who devote their time and energy to protecting and stewarding these spectacular landscapes, and I can't thank Nancy enough for taking the time to join us. - If you're interested in joining me for the 2023 Retreat, as of this recording, there are still a few spots left.
