From analyzing deals and understanding compensation models to navigating noncompete clauses and malpractice insurance, we cover it all! Michael Johnson graduated from Tulane Law School in 2014 and founded Michael Johnson Legal (MJL) in 2019 after practicing in business, insurance, and construction litigation. He founded MJL due to his passion for physicians. He believed they are underrepresented and untrained on the legal and business side of medicine, and felt that it was a worthy career pursuit to change this balance of power. His superpower is simplifying complexity into actionable advice. One legal myth he loves to debunk for clients is the myth that all physicians need to work a full throttle 1.0 FTE to succeed in their careers. He believes that for some physicians, this may be the ideal; however, for others, working something less than a 1.0 FTE may, in fact, protect the physician from moral injury and burnout, leading the physician to take better care of themself and prolong their career in medicine, ultimately benefiting more patients in the long run. Michael Johnson graduated with a B.S. from Auburn Montgomery in 2010 and served as captain of the tennis team. He also competed in the entry levels of professional tennis, junior Wimbledon, and for Team USA's Junior Davis Cup squad. In his spare time, he enjoys playing tennis, platform tennis, golf, and spending time with his wife and kids. In this episode, we answer questions which you might have on navigating and negotiating contracts like a pro like; How should physicians analyze and negotiate their contracts? What's the difference between academic, hospital, and private practice deals? Compensation: What's included and what should you be aware of? Noncompetes, exit strategies, and termination rights: What's negotiable? Are tail insurance and moonlighting opportunities really negotiable? Signing bonuses: What's the catch? And much more! For listeners in medical school, residency, or fellowship, Michael's team would love the opportunity to do a free virtual didactics training on physician contracts for your program.

In this episode: In this episode, Aaron and Terryn unpack the complexities of hiring decisions: when to hire, who to bring on board, and how to do it effectively. They explore the pros and cons of hiring internally versus engaging an agency, emphasizing the importance of aligning hires with your budget and growth goals. From building a leadership team of “leader-doers” to navigating the pitfalls of overhiring, they share practical strategies to avoid costly missteps, like the dreaded scenario of letting go of new hires due to poor planning. The conversation also covers the financial realities of hiring, with insights on labor ratios (10-15% for online businesses, 18-22% for brick-and-mortar) and the hidden costs of onboarding. Aaron and Taryn discuss the benefits and challenges of working with agencies, offering tips on setting clear expectations and incentivizing performance to ensure a strong return on investment. They also touch on the role of virtual assistants (VAs), stressing the need for strong leadership and clear deliverables to maximize their value while avoiding risky delegations, like handing over sensitive financial controls.

Poll results and inside intel help paint the picture.The Wildfire Relief Briefing: Mark offers context for why the interagency appraisal relief rule—issued in January—is now being briefed to the NCUA Board in April.Plus, a timely listener tip leads to a discussion of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant's recent remarks about reshaping regulatory culture—calling for more transparency, better tailored supervision, and a possible redefinition of "safety and soundness."
Jessica Harris is the owner of Four Sisters Childcare in Linden, Utah — a thriving center named after her four daughters. Alongside her husband, she's built a program that's now serving 91 full-time equivalent students with a capacity of 86 and a waitlist. But her real work goes beyond enrollment. In this episode, Jessica shares her journey from running a home daycare to leading a full-blown center, all while growing as a leader, navigating fear, and learning how to truly step into her power. She opens up about the deep personal habits that ground her, the way she teaches resilience to her staff, and how she learned to treat herself like the CEO of her own life with systems, policies, and boundaries. She talks with Kris about how she rebuilt from burnout, found peace in structure, and created a culture where small daily wins add up to big growth. Key Takeaways: [2:58] Kris is heading to Bali to work on her leadership, mindset, and spiritual growth. [7:02] Jessica and her husband run Four Sisters Childcare, named after their four daughters. The center started as an in-home program and now serves 91 FTE students with a waitlist. [8:28] A push from Kris at a conference inspired Jessica to expand into a center — an idea that changed everything. [11:42] Jessica was never someone who dreamed big, but learning to shift her mindset has helped her move from fear to confidence. [16:59] The past year brought clarity: her center's “why” is teaching resilience, not just to children, but to her staff. [19:04] Personal growth, including spiritual habits and consistency, helped Jessica move through fear and burnout. [22:02] Missing her daily practices for just two weeks during Summit reminded her how essential small habits are for inner peace. [23:29] Jessica teaches her staff to create “personal policies and procedures” the same way a company would, down to details like where to leave a retainer at night. [26:51] Her team resonated deeply with the message, and starting small helped them follow through on goals they'd struggled with for years. [28:09] Jessica applies the CEO mindset to social media habits too: setting systems and supervision helps her stay accountable without cutting Instagram out entirely. [30:46] Systems = success. Whether it's the gym or your phone, adjusting your system helps you follow through. [36:41] Just like sharing your brownies, it's important to share your strengths and successes. [38:17] Marketing strategy: strong Google Ads, Facebook, and Instagram stories, a busy road, rotating banners, and word-of-mouth from alumni families. [41:56] Jessica and her husband pursued a second location but learned through the process that they needed a little more time to prepare. [44:25] Not getting the building was a hard lesson in acceptance but also an opportunity for growth, reflection, and systems testing. Quotes: “Get comfortable being uncomfortable, and you'll see the growth.” — Jessica [12:30] “I have slowly been learning my passion and realizing that resilience, along with communication, is just huge. It's huge.” — Jessica [19:05] “We are our own CEOs, and we have to have policies and procedures for ourselves, and we have to follow them just like a company. If you don't do that, it fails.” — Jessica [23:29] “If you do what you say you're going to do, then you have a higher level of deservingness, self-love, and value.” — Kris [27:50] “When things either go my way or don't go my way, it's like, I'm not going to put power into wanting to claw at it and control it and need it and be in resistance to the fact that it's not working. It's just to be in acceptance and it'll flow.” — Jessica [45:08] Sponsored By: ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI) Use code CCSC5 to claim a free course!

In this episode, Drs. Patrick Georgoff, Teddy Puzio, and Jason Brill are joined by special guest Dr. Pat Murphy, who helps us delve into the evolving field of acute care surgery (ACS), exploring its history, challenges, and the nuances of defining full-time employment in this demanding specialty. The discussion highlights the origins of ACS as a response to unmet emergency surgical needs and its three foundational pillars: trauma surgery, emergency general surgery, and surgical critical care, with additional roles like surgical rescue evolving over time. Dr. Murphy share insights into the workload, including night shifts, call schedules, and the toll on surgeons' health, emphasizing the importance of fair compensation, equitable shift distribution, and transparency in job expectations. The episode underscores the value ACS surgeons bring to hospitals, likening them to essential infrastructure like firefighters, with their impact often unrecognized in traditional productivity metrics like RVUs. Dr. Murphy would like to thank the many collaborators who made this volume of work possible including the many acute care surgeons who have taken the time to participate in the research and their dedication to patient care and surgeon wellbeing Learning Objectives: 1) Define and understand the evolution of acute care surgery as a surgical subspecialty, including its historical development, key components (trauma, surgical critical care, emergency general surgery, surgical rescue), and its unique role within the surgical landscape. 2) Analyze the concept of "full-time equivalent" (FTE) for acute care surgeons, considering factors such as call schedules, shift length, service demands, and the impact of varying case volumes and intensities on workload. 3) Discuss the challenges of defining and measuring the value of acute care surgeons, considering factors beyond traditional productivity metrics (e.g., RVUs) such as the impact of surgical rescue, patient safety, and the value of 24/7 availability in preventing adverse outcomes. 4) Explore the importance of recognizing the unique demands and contributions of acute care surgeons, including the impact of high-stress environments, irregular schedules, and the importance of work-life balance and clinician well-being on long-term sustainability within the specialty.

A slightly different and shorter podcast today to briefly talk about Agency proof points, PR agency growth rates and The PRmoment Awards early entry deadline is this Friday 13 DecemberI've just finished some analysis of the top 100 agencies in the UK looking at the number of full-time employees they have. The source was LinkedIn, so it's not a foolproof measure, but it gives a decent indication of the employee hiring growth and decline of UK agencies.One caveat would be that I can see there's an argument that bearing in mind the increase in project income, relative to retained income, PR firms may have increased their use of freelancers compared to full-time employees. A deeper dive analysis of these stats will be revealed over the coming weeks, but one top line stat is that of the 100 largest agencies in the UK, the average full-time employee growth over the last 12 months is 2.5%.This, in a UK PR market that by and large seems to be picking up.Whether FTE growth will follow the current gentle momentum to growth of the UK's PR sector, remains to be seen. I've asked a handful of people in the last month or so, if during this golden quarter, on a score of 1-10, if 5 was normal, where are we at at the moment from a new business/pitch busyness perspective.PR agency CEOs and the like seem to put PR on a score of 5/6 currently. This time last year they'd put us PR's pitching busyness barometer at a score of 2/3. So relatively speaking, we're on the up.From PRmoment's Linkedin analysis of the number of FTE of PR firms - there are some really interesting trends when it comes to the type of businesses that are growing or plateauing and I'll be sharing that insight over the next few weeks.Which leads me on to my point about the PRmoment Awards. Some agencies have grown their number of FTE's at 15%+ percent over the past 12 months. But not many. When it comes to your PRmoment Award entries it's an opportunity for you to shout about your work.The vast majority of entries for The PRmoment Awards are campaign lead.If you've got a compelling agency of the year story, then go for it. And as per my FTE analysis, it's a different marketplace now. Across the board, relatively growth rates have been suppressed compared to the post Covid boom. But much of the work I see coming out of UK PR firms is excellent. Clients are getting integrated work across multiple channels. They are getting good value. And they are getting better strategy and creativity than at any time since I started working in the sector. (2004 if you're interested!)A number of PR agencies have reduced revenue, retained profits but they're still doing outstanding work and the PRmoment Awards can be your proof point of the quality of that work.A PRmoment Award is a proof point of that work to clients. And proof points are really important for PR agencies and indeed in-house PR teams. If you're thinking of entering the PRmoment Awards, the early entry deadline is on the 13th of December, and the final entry deadline is on the 17th of January. If you are a regular listener of this podcast, and don't enter already, go on, take the jump and enter the awards - join many of your peers.It's also probably worth mentioning at this point that we offer an excellent feedback loop for anyone who doesn't make the shortlist. More details about how this works can be viewed on the PRmoment Awards microsite - but I'd argue this functionality alone makes entering the PRmoment Awards a uniquely useful benchmarking exercise for the quality of your work
I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun and God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind. It's just that. Just kind. On a quiet farm on a distant spaceship, the Doctor makes his last stand. Because that's what he always does. It's The Doctor Falls. Notes and links Nathan compares the Missy/Master dynamic to a similar situation found in the late Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Second Chances, in which we meet a transporter clone of Commander Riker who is still in love with Deanna Troi, while his original version has long since moved on from that relationship. (We are yet to cover this one on Untitled Star Trek Project.) He also compares the Missy/Master hug to a similar one from the Blakes 7 episode Traitor, in which Servalan snogs a character called Leitz, who is blackmailing her, and then stabs him in the back of the neck with a plastic crystal thing. We will talk more about this during our coverage of Blakes 7 Series D on Maximum Power, which starts just three weeks from today. In The World Shapers (1987), a Doctor Who Magazine comic strip written by Grant Morrison, it is established that the Mondasian Cybermen were descended from the Voord from The Keys of Marinus. Bill's final speech to the unconscious Doctor at the end of this episode seems to allude to a similar speech from Moffat's first Doctor Who story, The Curse of Fatal Death (1999), in which the Doctor's companion Emma (Julia Sawalha) says “Doctor, listen to me. You can't die, you're too nice, too brave, too kind and far, far too silly. You're like Father Christmas, the Wizard of Oz, Scooby Doo. And I love you very much. And we all need you, and you simply cannot die.” You can — and should — watch The Curse of Fatal Death on YouTube. Picks of the Week Todd Todd recommends the Special Edition of The Happiness Patrol, which restores many deleted scenes and adds some clever and sympathetically designed new special effects. It's available on the Season 25 box set of Doctor Who: The Collection. (Amazon UK) (Amazon US) (Amazon AU) Peter Peter recommends the Surgeons of Horror podcast series on Doctor Who, The Horror of Who, which has featured Brendan, Peter and Nathan. In the episode Hartnell's Horror Part 4: The Cybermen, Peter explains what makes the Cybermen from The Tenth Planet so brilliant and effective. Brendan Brendan recommends George Sheard's reimagining of these two episodes as a 1960s Doctor Who story as Genesis of the Cybermen: World Enough and Time Noir. Check out the trailer here. Nathan Nathan recommends our other Doctor Who podcast, 500 Year Diary, which will be taking over from Flight Through Entirety for a few years while FTE takes a well-earned break. In our first season, New Beginnings, we discussed six episodes in Doctor Who and its spinoffs, where a show is making a new or fresh start. We'll be back with a second season early in 2025.

This week, we enjoyed a widely-reviled episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine called Ferengi Love Songs.
2024 in Review: State of Flexible Working The rise of the 'Alternative Workforce' has been a trend since before pandemic, as organisations sort to increase agility and reduce risk by expanding the pool of non-FTE into the workforce. Workers too have been keen to explore other ways in which to commercially engage with companies rather than being full time, permanent, on site workers.

Welcome to another episode of "Predictable B2B Success," hosted by Vinay Koshy! Today, we have an enlightening conversation with Brittany Greenfield, the dynamic CEO of Wabi. Brittany sheds light on an often-overlooked area of cybersecurity: the pivotal role developers play and the challenges they face.

We'll explore the cultural shifts required within organizations to embed security at the heart of development processes. Brittany will also discuss the pitfalls of over-reliance on tools at the expense of robust security processes and the complexities of managing compliance intelligently. As AI continues its rapid and sometimes bewildering evolution, Brittany highlights the importance of good process hygiene to integrate new technologies safely. This emphasis on process hygiene is not just a precaution but a reassurance that safety and security can be maintained despite rapid technological change. We also discuss Wabi's innovative approach to cybersecurity, designed to drastically reduce project delays and breach risks while enhancing developer productivity. Finally, tune in to hear about Brittany's insights on market dynamics, cybersecurity budget justification, and how adopting the Japanese concept of Wabi Sabi can be a game changer.

Brandon Pizzola, economist in EY's Quantitative Economics and Statistics (QUEST) practice, was a guest on the latest episode of Nareit's REIT Report podcast. Nareit commissioned EY to estimate the economic contribution of U.S. REITs in 2023, the most recent year of complete information. The data showed that REITs supported an estimated 3.5 million full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs and $278 billion of labor income.“The one thing to flag is that REITs continue to grow,” Pizzola said. He pointed out that in 2021, the economic footprint of REITs was 3.2 million FTE jobs, with that number growing to 3.4 million in 2022, before rising again in 2023. The data encompasses public listed, public non-listed, and private REITs.
