How Do Top Performers Stay Motivated When Sales Gets Hard? You know the feeling when you close a big deal. The rush. The quiet satisfaction of updating your pipeline. Maybe a quick high-five with your manager. And then, almost immediately, it fades. You're back to cold calls that go unanswered, emails that disappear into inboxes, and prospects who promised they were interested suddenly going silent. In sales, rejection isn't a side effect of the job. It is the job. That reality is exactly why most people don't last in sales. And it's why the people who do last tend to get paid very well. Over the past quarter, we talked with some of the most consistent sales leaders in the business. Here are four moments from the Sales Gravy Podcast that reveal how top performers stay motivated and close more deals, even when the work feels heavy. Find Your Carrot and Make It Specific Will Frattini, VP of Sales at ZoomInfo, keeps a small Christmas ornament on his desk. His daughter gave it to him when she was five. That ornament is his carrot. During a recent podcast conversation, Will explained that when sales gets hard, that ornament reminds him exactly why he keeps pushing. Not in an abstract or inspirational-poster way, but in a deeply personal one. It represents his family, his responsibility, and the future he's building for them. That distinction matters. Many salespeople say they're motivated by family, freedom, or financial security. Those values are real, but on their own, they're often too broad to sustain sales motivation during a brutal stretch of rejection. When you're fifty dials deep with no connects and another demo just canceled, vague motivation doesn't hold up. Will doesn't just think “my family.” He sees a moment, a memory, and a tangible reminder of what's at stake. That specificity gives his motivation weight. Top performers anchor their sales motivation to something concrete and emotionally charged. A down payment they want to make by a certain date. A trip they want to take without checking their bank account. A milestone that matters beyond quota. The more specific the carrot, the more powerful it becomes when sales gets hard. How to define yours: Write down one specific outcome you want to achieve in the next six months. Not “hit quota,” but the real-world result that quota enables. A number. A purchase. An experience. Put it somewhere you'll see it every day. Work With Customers Who Actually Value You One of the fastest ways to drain sales motivation is closing deals with customers who make you miserable. On an episode of Ask Jeb, Jeb broke down how companies grow faster by focusing on the right customers, not just more customers. When you're behind on quota late in the year, it's tempting to take anything that looks like revenue. Any company that shows interest. Any prospect willing to meet. You convince yourself that a deal is a deal. Then January arrives. That customer floods your team with support tickets, questions every invoice, demands exceptions, and slowly erodes the satisfaction of the win you celebrated just weeks earlier. Consistent performers learn to protect their energy. They get ruthless about fit. Not just company size or industry, but values. They ask questions like, “What do you value most in a partner?” and they listen carefully to the answer. Some buyers want constant responsiveness. Others value expert perspective and challenge. Some want efficiency and minimal interaction. None of those preferences are wrong. But only one aligns with how you actually sell. When sales gets hard, motivation comes easier when you're pursuing customers who respect your approach instead of fighting it. How to clarify your ideal customer: Look at your three favorite customers. The ones your entire team enjoys working with. What do they share beyond surface-level traits? How did they behave during the buying process? Those patterns matter more than any firmographic filter. Slow Down Before You Create Your Own Problems When pressure builds, speed starts to feel productive. You rush contracts. You promise timelines without checking internally. You say yes to custom requirements because slowing down feels risky. On an episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast, Jeb Blount, Jr. shared one of the most painful stories we heard this year. A $1.4 million deal with a pediatrics practice unraveled after someone rushed the process and placed the client into an early adopter program without a test environment. The result was catastrophic. The client's live system crashed, HIPAA was violated, and the company lost not only the deal but $600,000 in annual recurring revenue. Top performers understand something most reps learn the hard way: smooth is fast. They build guardrails around high-risk moments. Before sending a contract, they align internally. Before committing to timelines, they check with the people who actually do the work. Slowing down at the right moments builds trust. It prevents chaos. And it preserves sales motivation by keeping you from spending the next quarter cleaning up mistakes made under pressure. How to build a slowdown system: Identify the three points in your sales process where you tend to rush. Proposals, negotiations, technical commitments. Create a short checklist for each and make it mandatory. Use AI to Think Faster, Not to Stop Thinking Sales demands constant context switching. Pipeline reviews. Prospect research. Discovery prep. Follow-up. Objection handling. The mental load adds up quickly. Victor Antonio recently shared an example of a window company using vision AI to diagnose broken window seals from photos. Instead of sending a technician, customers submit an image. The system verifies the issue, checks inventory, confirms warranty status, and schedules service automatically. AI hasn't changed what strong salespeople do. It's changed how quickly they get to the work that actually matters. Top performers use AI to handle tasks that drain energy but don't require judgment. Research summaries. Organizing notes. Drafting frameworks. That speed preserves mental bandwidth for conversations, strategy, and relationship building. Used correctly, AI supports sales motivation by reducing friction, not replacing effort. How to use AI without dulling your edge: List the tasks you repeat weekly that consume time but not insight. Let AI handle those. Keep anything involving trust, nuance, or decision-making firmly in your hands. Why This Matters for Sales Motivation Sales has always been hard. Cold calling was hard decades ago, and it's still hard today. You still have to find people, start conversations, build trust, and ask for commitments. What separates average reps from consistent performers isn't resilience alone. It's structure. Top performers know exactly what they're chasing and why it matters. They protect themselves from bad-fit customers. They slow down when it counts. And they use tools strategically to preserve energy for selling. They still get rejected. They still lose deals. They still have months where nothing goes right. But they don't drift. They don't panic. And they don't quit when the work gets uncomfortable. That discipline is what sustains sales motivation long after the initial excitement wears off. If you want a clearer target to aim at when sales gets hard, download the FREE Sales Gravy Goal Guide. It will help you define the goals that actually keep you focused, disciplined, and motivated—especially when rejection starts piling up.
In this episode I chat with Joe Bielling, a Level 3 IFS practitioner, licensed therapist, and co-author of From Broken to Badass. We talk about what happens when coping, adapting, and belonging slowly pull us away from ourselves, and how to find your way back. Joe shares parts of his personal story, including a period he describes as a mental breakdown and spiritual awakening, and how IFS helped him slow down, notice his parts, and reconnect with his body, heart, and Self Energy. We discuss: Self-forgetting, people-pleasing, and the "chameleon" strategies of belonging How Enneagram dynamics show up in relationships and identity Unblending as both a psychological process and a spiritual experience Why "the resistance is actually part of the path" How IFS and non-duality can point to more than either-or thinking Why staying "broken" can feel safer to some parts of us Gratitude for coping strategies before trying to change them The question underneath it all: Who is the one behind my eyes? Extended Substack Conversation In the extended interview over on Substack, Joe and I talk about hope, embodiment, trauma, and the Enneagram centers. Joe shares what helps him stay embodied now and where he's finding hope. About Joe Bielling Joe Bielling is a licensed therapist and Level 3 IFS practitioner. He is the co-author with Kate West of From Broken to Badass, a practical IFS based book that helps people break free from high level coping strategies, and old outdated survival patterns, into empowered living. Their work brings together Internal Family Systems, nervous system science, and to help people find real freedom through embodied presence. Joe is also the founder of Unify Yourself — a national collaboration platform exploring the intersection of spirituality, psychology, and community.

Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Ty Kircher (NSP Practice Lead, Cellhub) and Dennis Napoliello (Head of U.S. Sales, MultiLine at Movius) about a problem every mobile-first organization runs into: separating personal and business communications on one smartphone—securely and compliantly—without forcing employees to carry two phones. “The MultiLine solution gives enterprises control without forcing users to carry two phones.” Cellhub has been working with vendors like Movius to build an ecosystem of partners (including carrier T-Mobile) that helps channel partners deliver innovative mobile solutions to end-users. Movius addresses the security gap in employee-to-client voice, messaging, and collaboration by offering Secure Communications as a Service. MultiLine™ is designed for hybrid and mobile work: users maintain two separate lines on one device, each secure, compliant, and dedicated—with separate features like voicemail—and with multi-channel communications documented per line. This eliminates the need for separate phones/numbers for Teams, personal use, social media, and apps like WhatsApp or WeChat—Movius consolidates multi-channel communication into one unified, secure ecosystem. That's a strong differentiator for solution providers selling into healthcare and financial services, where organizations must ensure communications compliance with regulations like HIPAA and FINRA, including on personal devices, and across verticals such as government, transportation, and education. MultiLine is positioned as an AI-driven, mobile-first approach that unifies communications and collaboration. Cellhub is also coordinating with a roster of vendor partners to bring unique mobile and wireless computing products and services to market, including initiatives with Tri Cascade, SkyMirr, and its PC-as-a-Service program with Lifetime EndPoint Resource.

An EMS medic, an MVA, a STEMI, a stroke—and everyone's still playing “telephone” with the hospital. In this episode of EMS World Podcasts, host Mike McCabe sits down with Mitch Scott, Solutions Architect at General Devices, to tackle one of EMS's biggest headaches: communication and coordination with the emergency department and specialty teams. Scott breaks down how GD's e-Bridge platform lets crews securely send photos, EKGs, videos, and patient data straight from the field to the ED, cath lab, stroke team, transfer centers, and more—all in one HIPAA-compliant app that never stores images on personal devices. They dig into real-world pain points: long wall times, “we never got your call,” lack of accountability, rural agencies with hour-long transports, and busy EDs juggling multiple priorities. You'll hear how features like GPS tracking, acknowledgement alerts, and detailed timestamps create a defensible QA/QI trail and give everyone—from medics to cardiologists—a shared, real-time view of the patient before they hit the door. If you've ever felt unheard on the radio or wished you could “show, not tell” your next handoff, this episode is for you.
We're getting techy!! On this week's episode hosts Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS and Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS share a new tool that's changing everything at Rogue, Claire's wellness gym for people with PD. Claire confesses to using paper documentation until recently and is now entering the 21st century. What's propelling her into the "now" is a new tool she's been trying for a couple of weeks called the Plaud NotePin. It's a small, wearable, and HIPAA-compliant AI device designed for healthcare professionals that helps with documentation either in-session or via dictation after. Though we're not affiliates for Plaud (yet!), she makes a great case for how her team is using it and why she's loving it for clinicians. Driven by the universal challenge of time-consuming paperwork, Claire became inspired by other practitioners employing AI for faster documentation. Her search for an efficient, phone-free solution led to the adoption of the Plaud NotePin. While the Plaud NotePin has proven to be a major time-saver and easy to integrate into their workflow, some learning curve remains, especially regarding templates and integration with existing forms. The team is transparent about privacy, requiring client consent via an AI waiver and ensuring compliance with HIPAA standards and data security regulations. Both Erin and Claire are excited about how solutions like this can reduce administrative burdens, improve care quality, and potentially transform the future of healthcare documentation for clinicians and clients alike. The team is committed to ongoing testing, sharing updates, and exploring collaborative opportunities as AI continues to expand its role in their practice. Send us a DM on IG if you're using this or another AI tool for your documentation! @neurocollaborative Check out the Plaud NotePin here

In this special HLTH bonus episode of Tech It to the Limit, hosts Sarah Harper and Elliott Wilson battle post-conference fatigue and full-blown health FOMO by bringing the conference floor straight to your earbuds. While Sarah recovers from a “very real case of health FOMO,” Elliott reports from the trenches after surviving days of buzzwords, badge scanners, and $9 lattes. To shake up the usual format, they press play on two standout booth interviews from HLTH.First, Elliott sits down with Dr. Lynne Nowak of Surescripts for a deep dive into seamless prescribing, touchless prior authorization, interoperability, and price transparency. Dr. Lynne breaks down how automation is shrinking prior auth from a multi-day nightmare into a near-instant, 30-second reality, reducing burnout for clinicians and removing friction for patients who just want their meds on time and at a price they can afford.Then, the episode shifts into venture-building mode with returning guest John Beadle of Aegis Ventures. John unpacks how his consortium model is helping health systems move from “innovation theater” to real innovation delivery by building and scaling AI companies faster than the market average. From ambient AI becoming table stakes to the rise of patient-facing agents, he offers a clear view of where healthcare innovation is headed next.In this episode:[00:00] Introduction[01:16] Health conference recap setup[07:13] Interview Dr. lynne Nowak automation and burnout[10:25] Touchless prior authorization explained[12:59] Interoperability and data exchange[18:11] Trust and data governance[19:55] Future of data science at Surescripts[21:12] Interview wrap up Dr. lynne[24:42] Interview John Beadle AI startups and health systems[26:02] Startup success metrics and examples[28:11] Clinician experience and ambient AI[32:19] Advice for health conference attendees[33:07] Sponsor segment HIPAA compliance tool[34:22] Episode wrap up and teaser for part two[35:40] Healthtech haiku and sign-offResources:Tech It To The Limit PodcastWebsite Apple PodcastDr. Lynne NowakLinkedIn -https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynnee-nowak-md-62054583/Surescripts - https://surescripts.com/John BeadleLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnpbeadle/Aegis Ventures - https://aegisventures.com/Sarah HarperLinkedIn -https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahbethharperElliott WilsonLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewelliottwilson

Value-based enterprises depend on timely, accurate data, yet the rules that govern how that data moves between the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), accountable care organizations, payors, and providers remain complex and often inconsistent. On this episode, Epstein Becker Green attorneys Kevin Malone and Karen Mandelbaum unpack the regulatory frameworks shaping data exchange in value-based care. They outline how federal privacy laws, CMS rules, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and state requirements intersect; why CMS-sourced data operates under a different regime than Medicare Advantage; and where organizations face the biggest operational hurdles when using, sharing, and governing data across large networks. Key Takeaways: Distinct Legal Frameworks: CMS data is controlled by the Privacy Act, while Medicare Advantage data falls under HIPAA. Disclosure Tracking Requirements: CMS data use agreements demand strict tracking and downstream compliance. Operational Data Challenges: Silos and uneven data quality remain major barriers to effective value-based care. Tune in to learn how today's rules shape data access, data quality, and the real-world mechanics of value-based care.

This episode of The Dish on Health IT features Denny Brennan, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Health Data Consortium (MHDC), in conversation with host Tony Schueth, CEO of Point-of-Care Partners (POCP), and co-host Ross Martin, MD, Senior Consultant with POCP. Together, they examine how MHDC is translating national interoperability policy into practical, statewide action, specifically around the CMS-0057 rule.After brief introductions, the conversation quickly turns to MHDC's long history and why it matters. Founded in 1978, before the internet, MHDC guided Massachusetts through nearly every major health IT transition: HIPAA, Meaningful Use, ICD-10, and now interoperability and automation. Denny explains that this continuity has created something rare in healthcare: sustained trust across payers, providers, vendors, regulators, and associations. That trust, he notes, is what allows competitors to work through shared infrastructure problems that no single organization could solve on its own.From there, the discussion turns to why the MHDC community chose to coordinate and support members in their CMS-0057 compliance journey, versus just letting each member organization go it alone. Denny emphasizes that while healthcare is regulated federally, it functions locally. Each state has its own mix of insurers, hospital systems, rules, and market pressures. In Massachusetts, where long-standing relationships already exist, MHDC saw an opportunity to move faster, test real workflows, and generate lessons that could inform efforts far beyond the state.The discussion then moved to how work to improve prior authorization became such a high-priority focus. Denny describes how the process has grown into one of the most disruptive administrative burdens for clinicians. Rules vary by plan, criteria change frequently, and the information providers need is often hard to access in real time. The result is defensive behavior. Offices routinely submit prior authorizations “just in case,” often by fax or phone, simply to avoid denials and treatment delays. That inefficiency, he explains, ripples outward by slowing patient care, driving up providers' overhead, and requiring health plans to spend more time and resources processing and reviewing the required PA alongside the unneeded submissions.The financial impact quickly becomes apparent. Denny points to evidence showing that administrative costs consume a massive share of U.S. healthcare spending, with prior authorization playing a meaningful role. If automation is implemented through a neutral, nonprofit infrastructure, MHDC believes there is a much greater chance that savings will flow back into premiums and public program costs rather than being swallowed by inefficiency.Ross adds an important dose of realism. Prior authorization friction, he notes, is not always accidental. In some cases, operational complexity functions as a utilization control mechanism. That creates a built-in tension between access, cost containment, and patient experience, and helps explain why national reform has moved slowly despite widespread frustration.At that point, the conversation shifts from why this is broken to how MHDC is trying to fix it. Denny walks through MHDC's operating model: convene the full ecosystem early and often. In a recent deep-dive session, roughly 60 representatives from health plans, providers, and the state participated in a working session focused on what an automated prior authorization workflow could realistically look like. MHDC brought a draft framework to the table. The community pressure tested it and surfaced workflow conflicts, operational blind spots, and policy misalignments that no single organization could see on its own.That collaborative process, Denny explains, is the real engine behind adoption. When stakeholders help build the solution themselves, implementation becomes a shared commitment rather than a compliance exercise. It also reduces resistance later because decisions are not delivered top-down. They are constructed collectively.The discussion then turns to FHIR adoption and why, while real, progress has taken time. Denny traces the turning point back to the 21st Century Cures Act, which reframed patient access to health data as a legal right and categorized data blocking as a regulatory violation. That policy shift, combined with the growing maturity of API-based interoperability, created the conditions for real-time data exchange to finally move from theory to practice.Ross provides a historical perspective from the standards side. Earlier generations of health data standards were conceptually elegant but extremely difficult to implement consistently. FHIR changed that equation by aligning healthcare data exchange with the same API-driven architecture that supports the modern web. He points to accelerating real-world adoption, particularly from large EHR platforms, as evidence that FHIR has entered a phase of broad, practical deployment.Although pharmacy prior authorization falls outside the formal scope of CMS 0057, Denny makes clear that MHDC could not ignore it. For many physicians, especially in oncology, dermatology, and primary care, PA for prescriptions is far more frequent and far more disruptive than PAs for medical services. If MHDC solved only one side of the problem, much of the daily burden for clinicians would remain unchanged.Pharmacy prior authorization, however, introduces a new level of complexity. PBMs, pharmacists, prescribing systems, payers, and patients are all involved, often across fragmented workflows. Denny explains that the challenge looks less like a pure technology gap and more like an orchestration problem. It is about getting the right information to the right party at the right moment across multiple handoffs.Ross shares insights from the pharmacy PA research work conducted with MHDC and POCP. One of the most striking findings was the massive year-end renewal surge that hits providers every benefit cycle as authorizations tied to prior coverage suddenly expire. He also reflects on a recent national electronic prior authorization roundtable, where deep stakeholder discussion ultimately led most participants to conclude that today's technology alone still is not sufficient to fully solve pharmacy PA. The tools are improving, but the problem remains deeply multi-layered.As the episode winds down, the tone shifts toward practical calls to action.Denny challenges the industry to separate where competition belongs from where collaboration is essential. Contract negotiations may be adversarial by nature, he notes, but interoperability initiatives cannot succeed under the same mindset. Real progress depends on bringing collaboratively minded people into the room. These are people willing to solve shared infrastructure problems even when their organizations compete elsewhere.Ross builds on that message with a longer-term challenge: sustained participation in standards development. Organizations cannot sit back and hope others shape the future on their behalf. Active involvement in national standards organizations is critical. This is not for immediate quarterly returns, but to influence the systems everyone will be required to use in the years ahead.The episode closes with a clear takeaway. MHDC did not wait for perfect conditions. It moved when the pieces were good enough, tested real workflows with real stakeholders, adjusted in the open, and began sharing lessons nationally. In an industry often slowed by fragmentation and risk aversion, this conversation offers a grounded look at what forward motion actually looks like when collaboration, policy, and technology finally align.You can find this and other episodes of The Dish on Health IT wherever you get your podcasts, including Spotify and Healthcare Now Radio.

By Adam Turteltaub What do a secret wedding and Richard Nixon have in common with HIPAA? A lot more than you might think, shares Bailey Mack, Chief Compliance Officer at Together for Youth. In this podcast she tells us the interesting history of privacy and the law. We begin in 1890 when a photographer trespassed to photograph a wedding he wasn't supposed to be photographing. Thirty eight years later in the Olmstead case, wiretapping wasn't deemed intrusive because no one entered the room. It was as if a privacy violation could occur only if there was trespassing involved. That began to change in the 1960s in which thinking evolved and the idea gained currency that privacy was about violations of the person's right to privacy, rather than to property. Watergate led to further changes in which citizens were given access to government records about them. And, since then, more legislation has come and likely will.

If you want to get leaner and live longer check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com Will an AI doctor soon replace your physician? I talk about how personalized testing and artificial intelligence are making true preventative health cheaper and more accessible. I talked with Hunter Ziesing, who shifted from a successful career in finance after losing family and friends to preventable diseases. He now runs Longevity Health, a virtual clinic providing comprehensive diagnostic testing, including 60 blood biomarkers, DEXA scans, and VO2 max, for $11,000 annually. The goal is to make health preventative, not reactionary, moving beyond the current sick-care model. We discuss how their AI platform analyzes this massive data to create customized health plans, significantly reducing costs and giving constant, gentle reminders to change daily habits, making prevention affordable and effective. We also cover the challenges of getting consumers ready for a doctorless AI model and the essential role of human doctors in the future. Key Takeaways Longevity Health offers a fully HIPAA compliant, physician-led virtual clinic for $11,000 per year, which is a fraction of the cost of some high-end clinics. The virtual clinic provides comprehensive testing, including a DEXA scan (for bone density and visceral fat), a CGM glucose monitor (worn for about two months), a blood test (analyzing around 60 biomarkers), a VO2 max test, a sleep study, and gut biome analysis. The tests are tailored to the individual's specific health concerns and family history. DEXA and blood tests are the metrics repeated most often every quarter to see real change. The "trillion dollar business" is what they are building around AI. AI has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of personalized medicine and make health information more accessible to the masses. AI is not fully ready yet, as it still "hallucinates," and regulations are not yet finalized. Furthermore, consumers are not fully ready for the "driverless doctor" and still desire a human physician in the loop for critical decisions. The preventative health approach requires giving people a "check engine warning light" via an app, offering constant, gentle reminders to reinforce healthy behaviors before a disease is diagnosed.

If you've ever tried Google Ads and felt like you were just lighting your money on fire, you're not alone. This week, Daniel sits down with John Sanders, founder of RevKey—a digital advertising agency that works exclusively with therapists and mental health professionals—to unpack why so many private practices struggle to make Google Ads work, and what you can do differently. In their conversation, John and Daniel dig into the most common reasons therapists waste money on paid ads. And it often starts with your private practice's website. If your site isn't designed to engage visitors and guide them toward action, your ad spend will likely fall flat. John shares how generic service pages, weak content, and outdated design can tank your results—even if you're paying top dollar for clicks. They also explore why therapists need to be wary of Google's automated campaign recommendations. What's best for Google's revenue isn't always best for your practice. John explains how his team disables default settings that typically waste money and instead builds tightly targeted campaigns focused on real conversions—not just traffic. This episode also covers the strategic role Google Ads can play for growing group practices. Whether you're launching a new service or need to quickly fill a clinician's caseload, ads can help bridge the gap while your SEO builds momentum. And with the right tracking and targeting—like setting income levels or geographic focus—you can get more value from every click. If you've been burned by ads before or are thinking about using them to grow your practice, this episode will help you avoid common mistakes and make smarter, more strategic decisions. What You'll Learn in This Episode 1. Why do so many therapists waste money on Google Ads? Many therapists dive into Google Ads without a clear strategy or a website that's designed to convert. Often, the problem isn't the ads themselves—it's that clicks are being sent to generic service pages or poorly designed sites that don't guide visitors toward taking action. Another big issue is relying on Google's default settings, which prioritize Google's revenue over your results. John shares how to avoid these common traps and make sure every dollar is working toward bringing in actual clients. 2. How can I tell if my website is helping or hurting my ad performance? Your website is a critical part of your ad strategy—because if it doesn't connect with your ideal client or clearly guide them toward booking, even the best ad won't convert. John explains how to evaluate time-on-site metrics, user experience, and page content to know whether your site is supporting your ad goals. In competitive markets, the margin for error is smaller, so having engaging, specific, and fast-loading pages is key. 3. When should I use Google Ads vs. investing in SEO? John and Daniel break down how SEO and Google Ads can work together strategically. SEO is a long-term game—it can take months to see results—but it's incredibly valuable for sustainable growth. Ads, on the other hand, can generate leads quickly, which is especially useful when launching new services or hiring new clinicians. The key is understanding your goals and timeline, so you can decide when to run ads, when to focus on organic traffic, and when to do both.

In this season-finale episode of The Burleson Box, Dustin Burleson is joined by longtime collaborator and digital marketing pioneer Jimmy Nicholas for a wide-ranging conversation on how artificial intelligence is actively reshaping dentistry and orthodontics.Their story goes back more than a decade to the Dan Kennedy GKIC days, a marketer-of-the-year competition, and the early experiments that turned Google into one of Dustin's top sources of new patients. Now, after selling his agency and sitting out a non-compete, Jimmy returns with a new focus on AI, compliance, automation, and what he calls “simple alignment” across marketing, operations, and team communication.This conversation moves well past surface-level AI hype. Dustin and Jimmy unpack what is actually working right now inside real practices, what most doctors still misunderstand, and where real opportunity exists heading into 2026.You will hear why Answer Engine Optimization, or AEO, may soon matter more than traditional SEO, how AI is changing follow-up systems, phone automation, and patient communication, and why most medical and dental websites are still invisible to large language models. They also discuss the risks that come with careless AI use, including HIPAA violations, hallucinated data, and unreliable financial calculations.This episode is essential listening for any practice owner who wants to stay competitive, protect their team's time, and apply AI with discipline rather than guesswork.Resources Mentioned:AI Beta Group (Free Community)Wealthy Entrepreneur Strategy Consultations ***The Burleson Box is brought to you by OrthoFi:Grow More.

Recorded on the floor of the EMS|MC EMSpire Conference in Charleston, South Carolina, this episode of EMS One-Stop finds host Rob Lawrence in conversation with long-time collaborator and EMS advocate Matt Zavadsky. Fresh off the longest federal government shutdown in history, Rob and Matt unpack what the hyper-turbulence in Washington really means for EMS: suspended Medicare extenders, disrupted grant programs, agencies taking out loans just to meet payroll and training programs put on hold. They break down NAEMT's flash poll on the shutdown's impact, the promise of the Treatment in Place (TIP) legislation, and why associations “hunting as a pack” on Capitol Hill matters more than ever. Along the way, they spotlight EMSIntel.org as a national barometer of EMS funding, staffing and response time crises, and issue a clear call to action for providers, billers and leaders to use association tools to contact their members of Congress. | MORE: Government reopens: What EMS providers need to know right now In the second half, Rob is joined by Dr. Shannon Gollnick, paramedic, EMS leader and organizational psychologist, to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping EMS — right now. Shannon makes the case that AI is “not the future; it is the present,” and that agency leaders must urgently build literacy, policies and guardrails around its use. They dig into the difference between HIPAA-compliant, embedded AI in ePCR systems, and risky open tools like ChatGPT, touching on hallucinations, embedded code and emerging Medicare fraud-detection programs. | MORE: Artificial to augmented intelligence. How Dr. Shannon Gollnick wants EMS to work smarter, not harder Rob and Shannon talk about AI as a powerful but potentially dangerous tool — “like having a tiger” — and outline practical steps for chiefs: Ask: “Do we have an AI policy?” Define what AI can and cannot be used for Insist that every AI-generated work product is double-checked by a human before it hits the record Memorable quotes “We weren't here to actually scare you off it. We're here to let you know that it's here, but it's like having a tiger, right? We all love to have a tiger, but it has to be contained in some sort of guard, otherwise it's going to run rife and cause havoc, and we don't want that.” — Rob Lawrence “This is part of the hyper-turbulence that's occurring in EMS right now.” — Matt Zavadsky “So I think the message for the profession right now is, now is not the time to put your foot on the brake. It's time to put your foot on the gas.” — Matt Zavadsky “We put the fun into function.” — Dr. Shannon Gollnick “I think it's important to understand that AI is not the future. It is the present. We are currently here right now. And it's nothing to be afraid of.” — Dr. Shannon Gollnick “If you're not doing it, I promise you that your staff is doing it and they're playing around with AI.” — Dr. Shannon Gollnick “Guardrails don't exist from a congressional standpoint. They don't exist from a regulatory standpoint. The technology is moving far too fast. So we as agency leaders have to take the lead in putting up some of those guardrails.” — Dr. Shannon Gollnick “There are ePCR software out there that are using proprietary AI that will use AI-generated narratives. And that absolutely is 100% good to go. What we don't want to see is our crews putting in their ChatGPT to have ChatGPT write their narrative.” — Dr. Shannon Gollnick “ChatGPT has embedded code inside of it that you can't see, but that code is there ... so what we're kind of afraid to do is to say, hey, what happens 6 months from now, 8 months from now when Medicare does an audit, they run your ePCRs and find all of this embedded code from ChatGPT ... you open yourself up for a lot of compliance issues.” — Dr. Shannon Gollnick Additional resources: EMS Intel EMS News Tracker American Ambulance Association Advocacy NAEMT Advocacy EMS shutdown survival: What leaders need to know now Charting the future: How AI is rewriting the EMS narrative Episode timeline: 00:21 – Rob introduces guest Matt Zavadsky 02:02 – Rob recaps the 40-plus-day federal government shutdown, questions about reopening, and his upcoming return to Capitol Hill for renewed advocacy 02:02 – Matt frames the shutdown as part of the “hyper turbulence” in EMS; explains the regulatory suspensions, pauses in Medicare extenders and grants, and how cash-flow uncertainty forced some agencies to take out loans just to make payroll 03:04 – Matt details NAEMT's flash poll (408 agency responses) showing suspended training and grant-funded programs, and warns of a possible repeat shutdown around January 30 03:54 – Rob and Matt discuss the reopening of government, ongoing bipartisan work, and the risk that everything “comes to a grinding halt” again if Congress can't agree 04:51 – Matt explains why NAEMT released the shutdown-impact poll even as government reopened and stresses the need to keep pushing for permanent relief from Medicare extenders and advancement of key bills like Treatment in Place (TIP) 06:03 – Matt outlines the House and Senate TIP companion bills and why Medicare paying for treatment in place is better for patients, EMS, the health system and the Medicare trust fund 06:54 – Rob notes broad association/provider support and professional lobbyists on the Hill; Matt stresses that field providers, administrators and billers must still use association legislative portals to send letters to Congress 08:08 – Matt describes a surge in communities reevaluating their EMS delivery models because of staffing, finance and subsidy challenges — “a great time to be an EMS consultant” 09:09 – Rob introduces EMSIntel.org as a curated clearinghouse of EMS news, used to show communities they aren't alone; describes failed tax measures and funding referenda 10:15 – Matt cites EMS Intel data: ~85% of stories each month involve funding, staffing or response times; Rob and Matt stress the ubiquity of these themes from big cities to small towns 11:09 – Rob highlights mutual aid tensions and taxpayers questioning why they “pay to send our resources somewhere else;” both emphasize that hyper-turbulence and funding gaps are national issues 13:23 – Rob resets the scene from the EMSpire conference and recaps Matt's Hill update before introducing Dr. Shannon Gollnick 14:41 – Shannon gives his backstory: in EMS since 1996, paramedic since 2002, progression into EMS leadership, doctorate in organizational psychology and focus on how organizations function 15:14 – “We put the fun into function.” 15:24 – Rob invites Shannon to talk AI, calling it “the specter we are embracing everywhere,” and references HIPAA concerns; Shannon opens with the core message: AI is not the future, it's the present, and nothing to be afraid of 16:03 – Shannon urges leaders to build AI literacy, noting that if agencies aren't using it, their staff and the younger generation already are 16:28 – Shannon emphasizes policy and procedure: AI guardrails aren't coming from Congress or regulators, so agency leaders must define how AI will be used and where its limits are 16:55 – Rob reminds listeners that AI in EMS isn't new, citing early monitor rhythm interpretation in the UK; Shannon underscores that crews already use AI tools and that unmanaged cut-and-paste practices can create billing and compliance risks 17:24 – Shannon explains the dangers of using open tools like ChatGPT for ePCR narratives: potential PHI exposure in a “black box” system and AI hallucinations generating plausible but false patient information 18:21 – Shannon describes how AI “wants to answer your question and make you happy,” leading to made-up details, and shares examples from testing minimal-input scenarios that returned overly detailed, inaccurate narratives. 19:03 – Shannon calls ChatGPT “kind of a snitch,” explaining embedded code markers that fraud detection tools — and increasingly Medicare's AI-based “Wiser” program — can use to identify AI-written content in documentation 19:59 – Shannon warns about retrospective audits and compliance exposure if ChatGPT-coded narratives are found in ePCRs, noting that AI rules are still emerging and tech is outrunning regulation 20:51 – Rob summarizes the mixed message: AI is here and being built into devices and software, but there are real dangers. They discuss data going “to the cloud” — which Shannon defines as “somebody else's computer.” 21:24 – Shannon frames AI as a powerful tool that can “put a lot of holes in the wall” if misused; he references fraudulent AI uses and deepfakes as emerging issues 22:05 – Shannon compares AI's impact to the internet's paradigm shift; Rob gives a “spoiler alert” about his own workflow using transcripts and ChatGPT agents, and notes the importance of reading and checking any AI-generated output 22:45 – Shannon reinforces that AI makes mistakes and cannot understand human context; he uses his “How you doing?” Joey Tribbiani vs. Tony Soprano example to illustrate contextual nuance 23:06 – Rob expands the context point with the “Friends”/“Sopranos” slide and reminds listeners that once AI-written words are published, “you said it.” Shannon highlights the WebMD effect and AI-driven self-diagnosis risks. 24:02 – They note that ChatGPT can generate long, complex diagnoses without sufficient patient context, leading to errant or misleading outcomes if misused clinically 25:00 – Rob summarizes: AI is here and, used correctly, is a good thing; advises chiefs to ask their teams, “Do we have an AI policy?” 25:27 – Shannon outlines what an AI policy should contain: acknowledgment that AI is here; clear, non-fearful framing; specificity on what decisions AI can support; and clarity on which tools (e.g., embedded EPCR AI) are allowed versus prohibited uses of ChatGPT 26:17 – Shannon stresses AI should not be used for clinical decision-making or clinical narrative writing; its role should be administrative only, and all outputs must be double-checked Enjoying the show?

Cold mornings, black ice on the north side of the valley, and a clear road just a mile away—mountain weather keeps you humble. That same unpredictability shows up in life events, which is why we sat down with attorney Jane Dearwester to connect winter preparedness with estate planning that actually works when the road disappears. From Hurricane Helene to fast-moving forest fires and sudden evacuations, Jane shares how her Hendersonville team built resilience: checking on staff across elevations, setting remote work protocols, and keeping signings and client support moving even when the power blinked and supplies thinned.We carry those lessons straight into your home and finances. Jane breaks down the essential documents—durable financial power of attorney, health care power of attorney, HIPAA release, living will, will or trust—and explains how they prevent guardianship, unblock access to accounts, and keep medical decisions in trusted hands. We also dive into property strategies like Lady Bird deeds and how trusts can protect assets and streamline benefits, especially when timing and eligibility matter. The message is clear: planning early gives you options; waiting narrows your choices at the exact moment you need them most.If you've ever wondered whether four-wheel drive equals safety, Jane's PSA says otherwise: it helps on snow, not on ice. The legal parallel is powerful—good intentions slide, signed authority grips. You'll hear practical tips for winter kits (boots, blanket, charger), a simple activation sheet for families, and the operational steps that keep a practice serving clients when roads close. Use this conversation as your cue to put both kinds of preparedness in place. Subscribe for more practical guides, share this with someone driving into winter unprepared, and leave a review with the one action you're taking this week to secure your plan.
Episode SummaryAs AI systems become increasingly integrated into enterprise workflows, a new security frontier is emerging. In this episode of The Secure Developer, host Danny Allan speaks with Nicolas Dupont about the often-overlooked vulnerabilities hiding in vector databases and how they can be exploited to expose sensitive data.Show NotesAs organizations shift their focus from training massive models to deploying them for inference and ROI, they are increasingly centralizing proprietary data into vector databases to power RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and agentic workflows. However, these vector stores are frequently deployed with insufficient security measures, often relying on the dangerous misconception that vector embeddings are unintelligible one-way hashes.Nicolas Dupont explains that vector embeddings are simply dense representations of semantic meaning that can be inverted back to their original text or media formats relatively trivially. Because vector databases traditionally require plain text access to perform similarity searches efficiently, they often lack encryption-in-use, making them susceptible to data exfiltration and prompt injection attacks via context loading. This is particularly concerning when autonomous agents are over-provisioned with write access, potentially allowing malicious actors to poison the knowledge base or manipulate system prompts.The discussion highlights the need for a "secure by inception" approach, advocating for granular encryption that protects data even during processing without incurring massive performance penalties. Beyond security, this architectural rigor is essential for meeting privacy regulations like GDPR and HIPAA in regulated industries. The episode concludes with a look at the future of AI security, emphasizing that while AI can accelerate defense, attackers are simultaneously leveraging the same tools to create more sophisticated threats.LinksCyborgOWASP LLM Top 10Snyk - The Developer Security Company Follow UsOur WebsiteOur LinkedIn

Author Zowe Smith is back to go deeper into her book, "My Life in the Thrill Kill Medical Cult." The medical coding scams during the COVID-19 psychological operation were terrifying, as dollar values were openly assigned to human life.

Author Zowe Smith is back to go deeper into her book, "My Life in the Thrill Kill Medical Cult." The medical coding scams during the COVID-19 psychological operation were terrifying, as dollar values were openly assigned to human life. Communication was intentionally disrupted and siloed through the creation of the HIPAA laws under Clinton, as information on patients was unable to escape the satanic medical system. The ties between the medical industry and the eugenics promoters of the early 1900s are well known, and the medical schooling cartel has kept its grip tight since it was created by the Rockefellers over a century ago. As we transition into genetics, there has never been a more important time to be paying attention to what is happening in medicine, nanotechnology, and vaccines. — Guest Links: Zowe Smith - www.ThrillKillMedicalCult.com — Watch the video version on one of the Macroaggressions Channels: Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MacroaggressionsPodcast — MACRO & Charlie Robinson Links Hypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwms The Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMm Website: www.Macroaggressions.io Merch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/ Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcast Activist Post Family Activist Post: www.ActivistPost.com Natural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com Support Our Sponsors C60 Power: https://go.shopc60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACRO Chemical Free Body: https://chemicalfreebody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACRO Wise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://macroaggressions.gold/ | (800) 426-1836 LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.com EMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACRO Christian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macro Above Phone: https://abovephone.com/macro/ Van Man: https://vanman.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACRO The Dollar Vigilante: https://dollarvigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471 Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACRO Augason Farms: https://augasonfarms.com/MACRO —
In this candid snack episode, Tracy sits in the interview seat as Miranda explores the practical reality of AI for private practices. Following Tracy's conversation with David Herman about AI in dental marketing, this episode addresses what practice owners are really asking about AI implementation, where these tools genuinely help, and the critical questions to ask before investing time and resources. Tracy shares insights from a recent burnout workshop with Silicon Valley physicians and offers a framework for thinking strategically about technology that supports—rather than replaces—human connection in healthcare. Click here for full show notes Episode Highlights AI's real role in healthcare: Where these tools genuinely help (administrative tasks, scribing) versus where physicians have serious concerns (primary care AI models) The "band-aid on a fixed system" reality: Why AI tools can reclaim time but don't address the systemic commodification of healthcare delivery Implementation without drowning: Tracy's framework for introducing new technology when you're already stretched thin, including the time leadership quadrant approach Real physician experiences: Stories from Tracy's primary care doctor and Miranda's daughter's cardiologist about AI scribing tools reclaiming 3-4 hours weekly The marketing-systems connection: Why beautiful marketing campaigns fail when practices lack the infrastructure to handle increased inquiry volume Questions to ask before implementing AI: What end result you want, how to ensure HIPAA compliance, where volume will come from, and whether your team is resourced for success Memorable Quotes "It's not about fear of being replaced, it's fear about causing harm." "The system isn't broken—it's fixed. One quarter of a degree at a time, the temperature has been increased to the point where it became normalized." "These people go to school for 8, 12 or more years to practice medicine and are now well paid but not well enough for the amount of hours they put in—business administrators, basically admin paper pushers." "We want all of our providers to be well rested, to have bandwidth, to not have to be reactive all the time. We want that as patients." "If we're not going to be human, then what's the point?" "Our clients do not love slowing down, but it's the way that we can gain clarity." Closing AI represents both genuine opportunity and potential pitfall for independent practices. The key lies not in whether to adopt these tools, but in approaching implementation with clear strategic thinking about your desired outcomes, team capacity, and practice ecosystem. Before investing in any AI solution, take time to work on your business from that essential 30,000-foot view—because technology without strategy is just expensive noise.

This episode covers: • Cocoa Extract Cuts Heart Deaths A massive COSMOS trial found that older adults taking high flavanol cocoa extract daily saw a 27 percent reduction in cardiovascular deaths along with drops in inflammation markers like HSCRP. Women showed unique anti inflammatory cytokine shifts, pointing to a broader longevity effect. Dave explains why cocoa extract is becoming a foundational nutrient for vascular health rather than a dessert ingredient. Source: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/09/250926135957.htm • AI Stethoscope for Home Diagnostics Lapsi Health's Keikku 2.0 just became the first FDA cleared AI powered digital stethoscope for both clinicians and home users. It records heart and lung sounds, analyzes them instantly, and flags early warning signs before symptoms appear. Dave breaks down why tools like this move you from reactive to predictive medicine and why they belong in every quantified self toolkit.

Liver, kidney, and heart deliver vitamin A, heme iron, B12, copper, and choline that modern diets often lack. Dave covers sourcing concerns, purity standards, and why this shift reflects a move from fear based nutrition to evolutionary nutrition. Source: https://www.verywellhealth.com/beef-organ-supplement-11710185?utm_source=chatgpt.com • Spirulina for Collagen and DNA Protection New research highlights spirulina's ability to support collagen production, reduce oxidative stress, protect DNA, and improve glucose and lipid balance. It is becoming a staple of eco focused anti aging routines and is driving the viral green stacking trend with chlorella and chlorophyll. Dave explains why spirulina functions as a clean daily defense against oxidative stress. Source: https://www.news-medical.net/news/20250707/Is-Spirulina-the-Next-Anti-Aging-Superfood.aspx • Health Data Privacy Reform A new Senate bill aims to extend HIPAA level protections to wearables, genomic tools, glucose monitors, and wellness apps. The goal is to give users control over who sees their biometrics, how they are stored, and whether they can be sold. Dave outlines why this matters for anyone using Oura, Whoop, CGMs, or genetic testing and why your biology should belong to you and not the cloud.
