What if improving front line performance—not more marketing or new leads—was the fastest way to grow your business worth? If you're feeling pressure to grow revenue while controlling costs, this episode speaks straight to that tension. You'll hear how leaders in hospitality use front line performance, personalization, and smart systems to capture revenue that's already there—while creating better customer experiences and stronger loyalty. The same thinking applies to any business with customer-facing teams and real growth goals. What you'll gain from listening: How front line performance directly impacts revenue and loyalty, without turning your team into pushy salespeople What it really takes to evolve from a services model to SaaS, while keeping your culture and your people intact Where AI disruption actually adds value today, helping managers coach better and make faster, data-driven decisions Play the episode to spot practical front line performance ideas you can use right now to increase revenue and strengthen your business worth. Check out: ~10:30 – Unlocking revenue through front line performance Where the conversation digs into how connecting frontline teams to real guest needs drives incremental revenue without hurting the experience—and why this applies far beyond hospitality. ~28:00 – AI disruption that actually works at the front line A practical discussion on how AI is being used to analyze performance data, deliver coaching insights, and improve results—without replacing people or overcomplicating the system. ~44:00 – The real challenge of moving from services to SaaS A candid breakdown of the cultural and identity shifts required to transition from a services model to SaaS, including what leaders often underestimate and how to bring the team along. About Geoffrey Toffetti Geoffrey Toffetti is the CEO of Frontline Performance Group (FPG), based in Florida. The firm partners with over 2,500 hotels across 120+ countries, helping them drive millions in incremental revenue. His personal journey in hospitality started humbly, as a car valet at a Florida hotel. Today, Geoffrey leads FPG, where they work with top brands like Hilton, Marriott, and Hyatt, among others. He has guided the company through strategic growth, including the acquisitions of the company's primary competitors—Drake Beil in the U.S. and TSA Solutions in Asia, the latter during the height of the COVID-19 crisis. Geoffrey can share insights on conversion from a services business to SaaS, global expansion, leading a remote workforce, how leaders can build resilience by making bold yet calculated decisions, staying agile in unpredictable markets, and building a corporate tribe rather than a team. FPG is always pushing forward and he excited to say their next bold move is just around the corner.

On Episode 20 of the Full Program Golf Podcast, we look ahead to our upcoming trip to South Africa and dive into some of the biggest talking points in the game. We discuss Anthony Kim's requalification for the LIV Golf League, the prospect of Brooks Koepka rejoining the PGA Tour, and what it all means for professional golf. We also turn our attention to 2026, previewing what's ahead and setting out the golfing goals we at FPG are aiming to achieve.

Merry Christmas, everybody - here's the episode one day early just because we love ya. Not unlike a certain jolly old elf, Ian stopped by Jake's home for a quick visit a few weeks back, and the boys (plus FPG) ran a 10K race together that was, for some reason, in celebration of Bill Melendez's 1965 television special A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS. So we decided to discuss this classic short and Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz, who like our usual subject was a Bay Area legend who loved golf and jazz. Plus we threw in a little bit of field audio from our fateful footrace. Enjoy and have a safe and happy holiday! As ever, thanks to Jetski for our music and to Jeremy Allison for our artwork.

Episode 207: Understanding Hypertension and Diabetes (Pidjin English)Written by Michael Ozoemena, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.HypertensionSegment 1: What Is Hypertension?HOST:Let's start with the basics. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. Think of it like water running through a garden hose—if the pressure stays too high for too long, that hose starts to wear out.Hypertension, or high blood pressure, means this pressure is consistently elevated. It is measured using two numbers:Systolic: the pressure when the heart beatsDiastolic: the pressure when the heart relaxesNormally reading is around 120/80 mmHg. Hypertension is defined by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) as 130/80 mmHg or higher.The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) defines hypertension as persistent elevation of systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure, with the diagnostic threshold for office-based measurement set at 140/90 mm Hg or higher.Segment 2: Why Should We Care?HOST:Hypertension is known as “the silent killer” because most people have no symptoms. Even without symptoms, it steadily increases the risk of:Heart attackStrokeKidney diseaseThink of high blood pressure as a constant stress test on your blood vessels. The longer it goes uncontrolled, the higher the chance of complications.Segment 3: What Causes High Blood Pressure?HOST:Hypertension usually doesn't have a single cause. It often results from a combination of genetic factors, lifestyle, and underlying medical conditions.Modifiable FactorsHigh-salt diet and low potassium intakePhysical inactivityTobacco useExcessive alcohol intakeOverweight or obesityChronic stressPoor sleep or sleep apneaNon-Modifiable FactorsFamily history of hypertensionBlack race (higher prevalence and severity)Age over 65Hypertension may also be secondary to other conditions, such as kidney disease, thyroid disorders, adrenal conditions, or medications like NSAIDs or steroids.Segment 4: How Is It Diagnosed?HOST:Diagnosis requires multiple elevated blood pressure readings taken on different occasions. This includes office readings, home blood pressure monitoring, or ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.If you haven't had your blood pressure checked recently, this is your reminder. It's simple—and it could save your life.Segment 5: Treatment and ManagementHOST:Lifestyle changes are often the first line of treatment:Reduce salt intakeEat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grainsAim for 150 minutes of moderate exercise per weekManage stressMaintain a healthy weightGet enough sleepLimit alcoholQuit smokingIf these steps aren't enough, medications may be necessary. These include:Diuretics, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, Calcium channel blockers, Beta-blockersYour healthcare provider will choose the best medication based on your health profile.Segment 6: What You Can Do TodayHOST:Here are three simple, actionable steps you can take right now:Check your blood pressure—at a clinic, pharmacy, or at home.Pay attention to your salt intake—much of it is hidden in processed foods.Move more—even a 20-minute daily walk can help reduce blood pressure over time.Small steps can lead to big, lasting improvements.SummaryHypertension may be silent but understanding it gives you power. Early action can add healthy years to your life. Take charge of your blood pressure today.Diabetes1.

What if I told you there was something you can drink each morning that will help you lose serious weight? All you need to do is make 1 cup of this and drink it daily. You'll notice body fat begin to melt off after just a few days. I'll be sharing with you the key ingredients to make this fat burning concoction, but before I do I want you to understand how this will help you lose weight. The ingredients I will share have tremendous benefits for your liver. Your liver is the soccer mom organ because it does so many things for us. The liver helps you burn fat, detoxify, and also use fat soluble vitamins as an energy source which is key for fat burning. The liver produces a substance called bile, which is green, an acts like a detergent to break down fat. Most people think the gallbladder produces bile, but that's not the case. The gallbladder is a storage house for the bile, but the liver produces it. Most people who have trouble losing weight, have a congested liver! When the liver is congested it slows your metabolism and thyroid function. RESOURCES MENTIONED: ☕️ My personal favorite brands include Purity Coffee head to http://www.ketokampcoffee.com and use the coupon code ketokamp for 15% off. STUDY. Bile acids can activate specific signaling pathways that improve metabolic processes and reduce inflammation, potentially leading to better overall metabolic health. https://hms.harvard.edu/news/diet-gut-microbes-immunity A study conducted at Tampere University Hospital in Finland found that people with decreased bile flow are seven times more likely to experience hypothyroidism. This connection is believed to be due to the role of bile in the conversion of thyroid hormones. Specifically, bile helps trigger the release of an enzyme that converts the inactive thyroid hormone T4 into its active form, T3. This process is crucial for maintaining proper thyroid function. Additionally, gut bacteria involved in bile metabolism also play a role in this hormonal conversion, further linking bile health to thyroid functiom. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3459253/ Studies suggest CGA reduces abdominal fat in overweight adults, including this randomized, double blind, controlled trial. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6683100/ A systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) suggested that cinnamon supplementation can reduce fasting blood glucose (FPG) and improve lipid profiles in people with diabetes.

Everyone is aware of Type 1 DM (Insulin dependent diabetes, seen commonly in children) & Type 2 DM (usually seen in adults & majority are controlled on oral drugs & Lifestyle Modification ). Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a kind of diabetes, which appears in the 2nd or 3rd trimester of pregnancy and disappears after delivery. GDM occurs when the woman's beta cells are not able to overcome the antagonism created by the anti-insulin placental hormones of pregnancy. Which causes increase in the blood glucose during pregnancy. Women with a history of GDM are at increased risk of future diabetes; predominately type 2 diabetes, as are their children. Almost every 5th or 6th pregnancy women in India, may have GDM. Diabetes In Pregnancy Study Group of India (DIPSI) recommends fasting or non-fasting Oral Glucose Tolerance Challenge Test with 75g of glucose with a cut-off of ≥ 140 mg/dl after 2-hours, Every pregnant woman should be screened for glucose intolerance in the first trimester itself. If found negative, the screening test is to be performed again at 24th – 28 th week and finally around 32 nd – 34 th week. Once diagnosis is made, Medical Nutritional Therapy (MNT) is advised initially for two weeks. If MNT fails to achieve control i.e., FPG ≥ 90mg/dl and/or 2 hr PPG ≥120mg/dl, oral drugs or insulin may be initiated. Recorded on 28th January 2022.

I'm Stacey Simms and these are the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now XX In the news is brought to you by Edgepark simplify your diabetes journey with Edgepark XX The next step in GLP-1 research is focusing on oral medications. new study looking at two different versions danuglipron dag-NEW-la-pron and orforglipron ah-for-GLOO-pron The primary examined outcome consisted of how different the absolute changes in the percentage of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline were between the treatment and control groups. Secondary outcomes included endpoint differences in body weight, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and heart rate between the treatment and control groups when absolute changes from baseline values were measured. The preliminary findings indicated that the orally administered small molecule GLP-1RAs danuglipron twice daily from Pfizer and orforglipron once a day from Lilly were effective in weight reduction and glycemic control in individuals with type 1 diabetes, obesity, or both. As compared to the controls, the novel small molecule GLP-1RAs not only resulted in a significant lowering of HbA1c levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus but in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes, danuglipron and orforglipron also brought about significant weight reduction. While the safety profiles indicated that the orally administered danuglipron and orforglipron did not increase the odds of serious adverse reactions or hypoglycemic events, the odds of adverse gastrointestinal events such as diarrhea, nausea, constipation, and vomiting were higher. These adverse gastrointestinal events were also linked to higher odds of treatment discontinuation. Further, longitudinal studies are required to understand these treatment options' long-term efficacy, tolerability, and safety. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20231017/Oral-diabetes-and-obesity-meds-danuglipron-and-orforglipron-show-promise-but-have-gastrointestinal-drawbacks.aspx XX More news about Tzield to slow type 1 progression in newly diagnosed children and adolescents. Data from the Phase III PROTECT clinical trial, presented at the 2023 Annual ISPAD Conference, showed that superior beta cell preservation was observed compared to placebo. On average, patients administered with TZIELD required numerically fewer insulin units and had numerically higher time in range, compared to those on placebo. HbA1c reductions and the overall rates of clinically important hypoglycemic events were similar among both study groups. TZIELD is the first and only disease modifying therapy in type 1 diabetes An observational extension study following participants for a further 42 months is ongoing. Release of the PROTECT trial data follows the company's acquisition of Provention Bio (a Sanofi Company) in April 2023 and therefore represents a key milestone for Sanofi. https://www.europeanpharmaceuticalreview.com/news/187735/sanofi-treatment-could-slow-type-1-diabetes-progression/ XX Lots of speculation about what the growing popularity of new diabetes drugs will do to the device market. Abbott says they're doing just fine.. and that the treatments could end up boosting sales of the medical device maker. Shares have dropped with concerns that GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro could hurt CGM sales. Abbott says their sales are actually up this year. Now, grain of salt, because this is press release info.. but it's worth noting that the device market is very important to people who use pump systems of course. Most diabetes device analysts do seem to agree with Abbott here. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/abbott-beats-profit-estimates-strong-sales-devices-diagnostics-2023-10-18/XX -- XX Could a 10-second smartphone voice recording diagnose type 2? This is something else.. biotech firm Klick Labs testing 267 people who had already been diagnosed as being either non-diabetic (192 people) or type 2 diabetic (75 people). Each person was asked to record a specific spoken phrase on their own smartphone via an app, up to six times a day for two weeks. Depending on the speed at which each individual spoke, those recordings were six to 10 seconds long. When 14 acoustic features of the resulting 18,465 recordings were analyzed, it was found that several of those features – such as pitch and intensity – differed in a consistent manner between the diabetic and non-diabetic participants. Although these differences couldn't be detected by the human ear, they could be picked up by signal processing software. This finding suggests that developing type 2 diabetes causes subtle changes in a person's voice. With that theory in mind, the scientists created an AI-based program that analyzes voice recordings along with patient information such as age, sex, height and weight. When tested on the volunteers, that program proved to be 89% accurate at identifying type 2 diabetic women and 86% accurate at spotting diabetic men. Those numbers should improve as the technology is refined. For reference, the team found that traditional fasting blood glucose tests were 85% accurate for both sexes, while glycated hemoglobin and oral glucose tolerance tests were 91% and 92% accurate, respectively. https://newatlas.com/medical/10-second-voice-test-type-2-diabetes/ XX Ultrasound may prove a new treatment for type 2 diabetes.. GE HealthCare Technologies is teaming up with Novo Nordisk on peripheral focused ultrasound, a new technology with potential to regulate metabolic function–without drugs, GE HealthCare said in a release. Early-stage clinical research suggests this type of ultrasound can affect diabetes patients' glucose metabolism by stimulating nerve pathways, the company said. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/ge-healthcare-teams-up-with-novo-nordisk-to-treat-diabetes-without-drugs-7b679c3e XX New research on diet and type 1 diabetes.. looking at plant based & moderate carb diets. I'll link up the full results but the upshot here is that portion control, moderate carb, and vegan all worked very well – when you've got a dietitian helping you make individual choices. The Vegan diet in particular is interesting, but it was not low carb – some people actually ate more carbs than usual – up to 300 a day – but the fat levels were very low. This group's insulin sensitivity went was up, and they lost on average 11 pounds. A1C decrease was about the same in all the groups. “It's important to have different types of diets that fit with different individuals https://diatribe.org/type-1-diabetes-new-studies-vegan-and-moderate-carbohydrate-diets-type-1-diabetes XX Improving health insurance coverage is not enough to address existing racial and ethnic disparities in glycemic control among US adults with diabetes. This was a large study by researchers at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. A cross-sectional analysis of more than 4000 US adults with elevated HbA1c, results of the study suggest Hispanic or Latino and non-Hispanic Black individuals were more likely to have poor glycemic control relative to their non-Hispanic White counterparts despite access to care, with investigators noting social, health care, and behavioral or health factors did little to attenuate these apparent disparities. “Future studies should apply causal frameworks to evaluate the role of other structural barriers contributing to the high burden of poor control among insured Hispanic or Latino and non-Hispanic Black individuals to develop effective interventions,” investigators concluded.1 https://www.hcplive.com/view/racial-disparities-in-diabetes-management-go-beyond-insurance-status-study-finds XX Commercial – Edgepark XX A scientist who helped discover insulin a century ago has been honoured with a memorial in Aberdeen. John JR Macleod was awarded the Nobel prize for his part in the ground-breaking project – one of the most significant advancements in medical science. However, the physiologist's achievements were largely unknown. Now he has been celebrated in his home city with the unveiling of a new life-sized bronze sculpture. https://news.stv.tv/north/aberdeen-memorial-for-scientist-john-jr-macleod-who-co-discovered-insulin-unveiled-at-duthie-park XX If you watch the Food Network's Halloween Cookie Challenge – you can root for the diabetes mom. Chelsea Fullmer's son lives with type 1. The Food Network says she is a mother, entrepreneur, and passionate baker with her own Central Texas baking business, “Pink Lemon Cookies.” Tune in Monday evening https://shoptherock.com/round-rock-baker-rises-to-the-occasion-on-food-networks-halloween-cookie-challenge/?fbclid=IwAR3S8vA8JkbtUkVhjg1L6L9CFBIP4v_Nf-p9hWn0VUvFh5RHjDlIy8-YvYo -- Next week I'm talking to Ryan Reed, NASCAR Xfinity driver with type 1 about what got him back behind the wheel.

The sales process can be frustrating for any startup founder trying to find their mark. Even more seasoned companies struggle with closing more deals. This week's guest understands that if you truly want to scale, you have to adopt a sales mindset, a process, and your language. Jason Forrest became established as a top 1% sales professional in his career and has gone on to train others in the field. Throughout his career, he's found that the common sales techniques being taught out there puts limitations on others. As a result of Jason's hands-on sales experience, his coaching and consulting work has led sales teams to increase their effectiveness and drive more profit. To create a powerful sales team, you must work on changing bad habits or bad behaviors. Most of us have “default” programming where, for whatever reason, we believe what we believe. This is our truth and how we show up and interact in the world. What we think to be true will inevitably drive our emotions, and our emotions drive our motivations, which then drive our results. It's a cascading effect. If you boil it down, Jason is not just a sales coach, he's a behavioral change expert. If you're having a hard time changing the behavior, you have to dive deep into what's the feeling that's connected to that behavior. Do you have resistance to wanting to change that behavior? When you connect feelings, emotions, with the task, you can motivate yourself out of a place of “stuckness.” As a top 1% sales professional, Jason was not satisfied with the resources out there to help bring his sales teams up to speed. Did you know $164 billion is spent on sales training resources? And only 30% of it is effective? Jason created his company to help change bad sales behavior into something that effectively closes deals while still being authentic.

In this episode, there is gold when it comes to mindset no matter where you find yourself in life, leadership, or your sales roles you will learn a ton from our special guest. Jason Forrest. Jason is a leading authority in culture change programs and an expert at creating high-performance, high-profit, and "Best Place to Work" cultures. The winner of five international Stevie Awards for his training programs, Jason is also an award-winning author of six books, including Leadership Sales Coaching – rated as one of Selling Power Magazine's Top Sales Books. In 2018, FPG earned a rare honor by being named to the Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Private Companies list for the third consecutive year, one of just 1,200 companies nationwide to achieve that honor out of a field of more than 7 million. Jason shares that when he wrote the book Leadership Sales Coaching many years ago, he took the philosophy that a salesperson is an athlete, and should be coached like an athlete not managed like an employee. There are circumstances in life, and then there's the meaning we give it. Whatever charge you have in your life that's kind of holding you back, you're putting too much meaning into it, we've got to let go of that charge. A warrior always finds the advantage. And so what's the advantage that I can do here? How can I leverage it? You know, how can I change my thinking around this? I think that's the message everyone needs to hear is whatever, whatever charge you have in your life that's kind of holding you back, you're putting too much meaning to it, you know, we've got to let go of that charge. P equals K minus L. So performance is what we do. Knowledge is what we've been taught to do. But then you have to minus out the leashes. The second type of leash is a story. So a story is anything that you kind of blame on outside circumstances or something outside of yourself. Because the power of duplication that is it? Is that what you do over and over again, you desensitize yourself with it? Jason wrote The Mindset of Sales Warrior, the book has 42 different strategies on how to remove the self-image stories you're locked into. The Mindset of a Sales Warrior will help you be a better husband, a better wife, a better teacher, a better speaker, a better coach, just a better influencer overall, in your general life, you can find that at warriormindsetbook.com.
