And where do you even go to collect?Sadly, this scenario is far too common — and it's crushing the industry.This week we sit down with Brett Gelfand, founder of CannaBIZ Collects and the Cannabis Credit Association, to explore:How to protect your business before extending net termsWhat to do when customers ghost you on paymentHow big of an issue is this, really? Guest Links:https://www.linkedin.com/company/cannabiz-collects/https://x.com/cannabizcollecthttps://www.instagram.com/cannabiz.collects/https://www.cannabizcollects.com/https://www.linkedin.com/company/cannabizcredit/https://www.instagram.com/cannabizcredit/https://www.cannabizcredit.com/Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Cannabis Industry Challenges03:09 Brett Gelfand's Journey into Cannabis05:59 The Importance of Credit Policies in Cannabis09:11 Proactive Approaches to Collections12:12 Building a Credit Association for Cannabis14:47 Data Aggregation and Industry Insights18:01 Navigating Legal and Ethical Challenges20:52 Market Trends and Future Outlook24:30 Understanding the Cannabis Industry's Financial Challenges32:03 Navigating the Debt Collection Process39:00 The Unique Aspects of Cannabis Collections43:53 The Current State of Cannabis Debt and Collections 

In this episode of Inside GRAPPA, Dr. Joel Gelfand joins host Mio Nakamura to discuss a groundbreaking pragmatic trial that may transform access to phototherapy. A long-standing GRAPPA member and trailblazer in dermatologic research, Dr. Gelfand shares insights from the "LITE Study," a patient-centered, nationwide trial comparing home-based vs. office-based phototherapy for psoriasis.You'll hear: • Why phototherapy remains a preferred treatment for many patients, even in the biologic era • Surprising results comparing office phototherapy to adalimumab (a biologic) in previous trials • How skin of color patients may benefit most from home phototherapy---and why • Real-world barriers to accessing phototherapy and how the study tackled them head-on • What's next: From research findings to implementation science and changing payer coverageThis episode is essential listening for dermatologists, rheumatologists, and researchers passionate about improving access and outcomes for patients with psoriatic disease. Tune in for a conversation that blends clinical science with patient advocacy---and may reshape the standard of care.

In part 1 of this two part episode, Stacey Richter speaks with James Gelfand, President and CEO of the ERISA Industry Committee (ERIC), about the potential effects of proposed Medicaid cuts on plan sponsors and their members.  They explore ways plan sponsors can prepare for the changes, including Medicaid's four major areas of possible cuts: reducing waste, fraud, and abuse; implementing work requirements; reeling in provider taxes; and addressing the 'Cornhusker Kickback' from the ACA.  The conversation also delves into how state governments and hospitals might respond to these cuts and suggests actions for plan sponsors to mitigate potential impacts. The episode is part one of a two-part series, with the second episode covering Medicare site neutral payments and HSA reforms. === LINKS ===

In part 2 of episode 469, host Stacey Richter discusses the implications of Medicare site neutral payments and Health Savings Account (HSA) reforms with James Gelfand, president and CEO of the ERISA Industry Committee (ERIC).  The episode details how plan sponsors should adapt to Medicare's site neutral payment policies aimed at curbing hospital consolidation and inflated prices through facility fees and markups. Gelfand provides insights into how HSA reforms currently in Congress could expand the scope of preventive care covered before deductibles are met, benefitting both employers and employees.  The conversation also touches on the challenges high deductible health plans pose and the potential benefits of codifying recent IRS guidance to allow greater flexibility in pre-deductible coverage. The discussion underscores the importance of plan sponsors staying ahead of Medicare policies to avoid higher costs. === LINKS ===

In episode 615, Megan chats to Elan Gelfand about the importance of focus, discipline, consistency, handling judgment, and reigniting passion. Elan Gelfand started the podcast Abundant Thinking where he talks about how to live a purposeful life and how to improve your mindset. Elan has spoken to some of the best coaches in their industry and has valuable insight on how to succeed and how to cultivate a bulletproof mindset. In this episode, you'll learn about creating the right environment to minimize distractions, building discipline slowly to achieve long-term success and adopting a mindset of not caring about others' opinions. Key points discussed: - Start small to build discipline: Begin with small, achievable goals and gradually increase the difficulty, rather than setting unrealistic high expectations that are hard to maintain. - Eliminate distractions: Use tools like the Opal app to block distracting apps and create an environment conducive to focused work. - Consistency leads to discipline: Staying consistent with your habits, even in small ways, can help develop long-term discipline. - Reframe judgment: When faced with judgment from others, remember that people who are doing well are unlikely to waste time criticizing you. - Focus on your own approval: Prioritize your own self-approval over the opinions of others, as you'll be spending the most time with yourself. - Reignite passion by trying new things: Experiment with different aspects of your work to find new sources of inspiration and excitement. - Appreciate the good times: Recognize and be grateful for the moments when you feel passionate and engaged, as they can help you push through the more challenging periods. - Differentiate between focus and discipline: Focus is about staying committed in the moment, while discipline is about consistently doing the same thing over time. - Create the right environment: Deliberately set up your physical and digital surroundings to support your productivity and minimize distractions. - Limit time with negative people: Reduce interactions with those who are judgmental or unsupportive, and instead seek out positive, encouraging relationships.

In this episode of Derms and Conditions, host Dr James Q. Del Rosso welcomes Dr Joel M. Gelfand, Professor of Dermatology and Epidemiology at the University of Pennsylvania, to explore the critical issue of comorbidities in dermatology, with a focus on psoriasis, and address why dermatologists should take an active role in recognizing and addressing these risks. Dr Gelfand reflects on his early observations of patients with psoriasis and their potential internal health issues, noting how in the past, psoriasis was primarily seen as just a skin condition. However, research and a pivotal article on inflammatory pathways in atherosclerosis led to improved understanding that psoriasis is linked to cardiovascular disease. Dr Gelfand then discusses the groundbreaking use of electronic medical records to track patients with psoriasis over time, revealing higher incidences of cardiovascular events and mortality. This research highlighted that people with moderate to severe psoriasis have a reduced life expectancy by about 5 years, underscoring the need for dermatologists to address comorbidities in their patients. The conversation then explores practical advice for clinicians, focusing on the role of dermatologists in identifying cardiovascular and diabetes risks in patients with psoriasis. Dr Gelfand suggests a simple yet effective approach: educate patients about their increased health risks, perform basic screenings like cholesterol and blood pressure checks, and collaborate with primary care physicians or cardiologists when needed. By fostering multidisciplinary care, dermatologists can play a crucial role in preventing life-threatening conditions in their patients. Tune in to the full episode for guidance on addressing the broader health risks associated with psoriasis and the practical steps dermatologists can take to help reduce these risks. From screening for cardiovascular disease to forming strong collaborations with other health care providers, this episode offers valuable insights for improving patient outcomes.

Welcome to Grit & Growth's masterclass on cross-cultural dynamics with Michele Gelfand, Stanford Graduate School of Business professor in organizational behavior. Gain new insights and strategies for understanding your company's culture – from tight to loose – and how you can use that knowledge to build cultural intelligence in your organization, navigate interactions, enhance company-wide innovation, and drive business growth. Companies and countries can be a lot like people. Some are tight. Others are loose. Neither is inherently good or bad, according to Michele Gelfand, a leading expert on the impact of organizational culture and the best-selling author of Rule Makers, Rule Breakers: How Tight and Loose Cultures Wire Our World. Gelfand says this important and often invisible force can drive behavior and ultimately performance – which is why she finds the subject so fascinating and why she believes entrepreneurs should pay attention to culture as they build their leadership and business.Key Takeaways Culture matters“If we don't understand culture, we're putting ourselves and our businesses at risk. All cultures have rules, and they're really one of our best inventions because they help us predict each other's behavior and coordinate. They're the glue that keeps us together.”Tight vs. Loose“Tight cultures have strict rules and very reliable punishments for when you deviate from rules. They restrict the range of behavior that's permissible in any context. Loose cultures have weaker rules, their wider range of behavior that's permissible.”Strive for flexible tightness“Loose cultures are more creative, but they don't necessarily scale up. Tighter cultures are better able to implement and scale up, but they're not as good at coming up with these really novel ideas. And so the big trick here is: How do you bring together both of these elements?”Watch out for resistance to cultural change“Try to balance accountability and empowerment, but pay close attention to pushback. Extreme change can be very threatening for people's sense of control, predictability, and order that's really needed in these contexts. And what we know is that we need to manage these sources of resistance.” Listen to Michele Gelfand's advice to entrepreneurs for creating culturally ambidextrous organizations and learn more about her future research. Don't forget to take Gelfand's quiz for determining where you and your team fall on the tight/loose spectrum.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Chris Scott interviews Howie Gelfand as we learn his story, his recovery journey, and the real story behind the Wolf of Wall Street!

The landscape of options for treating people with kidney failure is shifting.  It used to be that the “only” robust option in the US was dialysis.  You can listen to our prior podcast with Keren Ladin talking about patients who viewed dialysis as their only option, and structural issues that led to this point (including this takedown of for profit dialysis companies by John Oliver).  One of the problems was a lack of an alternative robust option to offer patients.  As one of our guests says, you have to offer them something viable as an alternative to dialysis. Today we interviewed Sam Gelfand, dually trained in nephrology and palliative care, Kate Sciacca, a nurse practitioner (fellowship trained in palliative care), and Josh Lakin, palliative care doc, who together with a social worker and other team members started KidneyPal at DFCI/BWH, a palliative care consult service for people with advanced kidney disease.  As a team, they provide a robust alternative to dialysis for patients with kidney failure: conservative kidney management. And “conservative,” as they note, can mean not only a “conservative approach,” as in non-invasive/less aggressive, but also an effort to “conserve” what kidney function remains. We get right down to the nitty gritty of kidney supportive care techniques they incorporate in clinic, including: Communication about the choice between dialysis and conservative kidney management: what are the tradeoffs?  Function often declines after initiating dialysis, at least among nursing home residents. Dialysis may extend life, but those “additional” days are often spent in the hospital or dialysis, away from home. Symptoms are common in both options, though more anxiety and cramping in dialysis, more pruritus and nausea in conservative kidney management.. Introducing the idea of hospice early, at the time of diagnosis with kidney failure. Listen also to our prior podcast with Melissa Wachterman on hospice and dialysis. Approaches to treating fatigue Approaches to treating pain - the second most common symptom (!) - and the answer isn't tramadol (or tramadon't) - rather think buprenorphine patch or methadone, and how to dose gabapentin and pregabalin. Also, don't count out the NSAIDS! Approaches to treating itching/pruritus Approaches to treating nausea Our guests were deeply grateful to their colleagues Dr. Frank Brennan, Dr. Mark Brown, and clinical nurse consultant Elizabeth Josland of the renal supportive care team at St. George Hospital in Sydney, Australia (down under) for teaching them the ropes of palliative care in kidney failure.  And we got to learn some new vocabulary, including the meaning of “chunder.”  Enjoy! -@AlexSmithMD

Why are dream-inspired poems so powerful? We speak today with award-winning poet, author of multiple books, and committed activist, the dynamic Joan Gelfand. Joan shares a poem inspired by a dream called Burial, quoted in full below. She speaks about why she thinks that dream-inspired poetry can be so riveting while telling someone your dream can evoke eye-rolling and boredom. She also reads a poem about Ferlinghetti which formed the basis for an award-winning video which can be found here.  Joan also gives specific advice about crafting poetry. In the second half we take three calls. First Kelly Sullivan Walden calls to ask Joan how her dreamlife has been responding to the release of her new book. Joan brings up a dream in which a friend has a business named Contagious Vulnerability. Second we get a call from Adam who shares a dream about elephant which destroys his electrical panel. I offer an alternate idea to what he shared that ChatGPT had suggested about the dream. Finally we take a call from Donna of Capitola who shares that she is an observational poet. She shares a recurring dream about a trying to find a restaurant. BIO: Joan Gelfand is an award-winning author of three collections of poetry, a chapbook of short fiction, and a novel set in a Silicon Valley startup. Also a book about how to get your book published and new this year “Outside Voices: A Memoir of the Berkeley Revolution.” Find our guest at: JoanGelfand.com Burial by Joan Gelfand You might imagine a box, Airless, close the sound of dirt clumps Falling like rain. You might imagine a mudslide Rushing down steep mountain terrain Your legs buckling. You might imagine a building, Shaken to its core, rubble tumbling Knocking you senseless. You might imagine water, too deep, A collapsed bridge, a tunnel broken. My burial was none of these. An angel chanted And I went under, alone and Unafraid.

Shohei Ohtani doesn't have what you'd call a hard life. After all, difficult things become much easier when you have 700 million dollars.
