Longevity, Cash PT, and the $8 Trillion Opportunity You Can't Ignore In this episode, Doc Danny Matta breaks down why the global shift toward longevity is one of the biggest opportunities cash-based physical therapists will see in their careers. He shares real-world examples from high-end longevity models, explains why proactive, long-term health programming is exploding, and shows how cash PTs are uniquely positioned to lead this space. Quick Ask If this episode gets your wheels turning about longevity and long-term care, share it with another clinician who needs to hear it—and tag @dannymattaPT so he can reshare it. Episode Summary Patient experience as an edge: While competitors step out mid-session to finish notes, you can stay fully engaged by using Clair, an AI scribe that handles documentation instantly. Operational advantage: Clair gives you more time for follow-ups, planning, and patient touchpoints—leading to better retention and more efficient operations. Danny's background: Staff PT, active duty military PT, cash practice founder, seller, and now founder of PT Biz, which has helped 1,000+ clinicians start, grow, and scale their own cash practices. The longevity trend: Patients are realizing they'll live longer and want to be proactive, not reactive, about their health and performance. 10x-style models: Peter Attia's "10x"/10 Squared-type gym in Austin employs performance clinicians doing assessments, hands-on care, and programming over months and years at premium pricing. Equinox Longevity: Equinox launched a longevity offering priced around $35,000–$45,000 per year, combining assessments, bloodwork, training, and bodywork. Market validation: Big brands like Equinox don't roll out programs like this without deep market research—there is clear demand. The $8 trillion forecast: A UBS report projects the global longevity market could reach roughly $8 trillion by 2030. High continuity, low volume: Danny's friend running a longevity-focused model only needs ~30–40 new patients per year because clients stay for years. LTV over churn: With long-term, continuity-based care, you don't need a constant flood of new patients—you need strong retention and deep relationships. What these programs include: Long-term programming, movement and performance assessments, VO2 max testing, force plate work, blood panel interpretation, and lifestyle coaching around sleep, nutrition, and stress. Why cash PT is perfect for this: No insurance rules; you can spend an hour on sleep, stress, or habit coaching if that's what the patient needs. Visual differentiation: Cash clinics often look and feel like a high-performance lab or gym—nothing like a crowded hospital outpatient clinic. Community and referrals: Patients in long-term programs naturally talk about what they're doing and pull friends and family into your ecosystem. Tech as a differentiator: Tools like force plates, VO2 testing, structured assessments, and periodic retests make progress visible and drive buy-in. Standardizing longevity in cash PT: Danny sees longevity as a pillar every successful cash practice will eventually integrate in some form. Not one-size-fits-all: You can build your own version—solo, with a functional medicine group, or as part of a broader performance ecosystem. Lessons & Takeaways Longevity is a macro trend: People know they're going to live longer and want to invest in staying active, capable, and independent. Continuity beats volume: A few dozen long-term clients can support a strong business if they stay with you for years. Cash PT has structural advantages: You're not limited by insurance codes, visit caps, or what a payer thinks is "medically necessary." Data builds trust: Objective testing plus retesting makes progress real and keeps clients engaged. Longevity is "sticky" business: Once people see value in long-term health, they're less price sensitive and more loyal. Early adopters benefit most: Clinics that build longevity offerings now get ahead of a trend that large systems are just starting to chase. Mindset & Motivation Think in decades, not visits: Stop viewing patients as "10-visit plans" and start thinking in 5–10 year relationships. See yourself as a guide, not a fixer: You're not just solving pain—you're guiding someone's health span and performance over time. Health is real wealth: For your patients and for you—longevity work aligns your business model with what truly matters. Don't wait for permission: You don't need a big brand or hospital system to validate this for you; the demand already exists. Pro Tips for Clinic Owners Start with what you know: Build a simple longevity track around your existing strengths: strength, mobility, running, or performance. Add one objective test: Integrate VO2 testing, force plate jumps, or standardized movement screens with baseline + retest cycles. Layer in basic lifestyle coaching: Learn enough about sleep, stress, and nutrition to guide your patients or partner with someone who can. Use tech wisely: Don't buy everything at once—choose tools you'll actually use and that support your specific model. Leverage an AI scribe: Implement Clair so documentation doesn't steal time from long, relationship-based care. Notable Quotes "People are realizing they're going to live longer—and they want to be proactive, not reactive." "If a giant like Equinox is rolling out a $40,000-a-year longevity program, they've done the research. The demand is there." "My buddy needs 30 to 40 new patients a year. That's it. What game do you want to play?" "Cash-based PTs are uniquely positioned to capitalize on this trend—we're not handcuffed by insurance." "Health is real wealth. If you're not healthy, it doesn't matter how much money you have." Action Items Audit your current services: where could you naturally extend into long-term, proactive care? Sketch a simple 6–12 month "longevity track" for your ideal client, including assessments and retests. Identify one piece of tech or testing you could add to make your results more objective and compelling. Look for local partners (functional medicine, labs, coaches) who could complement your skill set. Consider using Clair to free up time so you can deepen relationships instead of chasing notes.

You think 2025 flew by? I get it. My whole family said the same thing at Thanksgiving. Everyone was busy, busy, busy all year. But when I asked what they actually accomplished, it was maybe one or two big things. That's the hustle trap. I spent this past year doing the opposite. I dropped almost everything that wasn't serving me. I focused on deep work in my passion zones. And you know what happened? The year felt like five years. Not because it dragged, but because I was actually present. Time slows down when you stop buzzing and start being there. Want to manufacture more time for yourself? I'll show you how. Featured Story Thanksgiving was chaotic this year. My wife calls it that. The family's getting bigger and crazier. Kids tearing up the house. Adults drinking far better wine than ever before. It was so damn fun. But I kept hearing the same thing as I spun around talking to people: "This year went so fast." Then they'd follow up with, "Next year I need to get control of my time." My family doesn't listen to my advice. They know I do the podcast and coach people, but I'm just Scott to them. They're not taking any advice from me whatsoever. But I couldn't help noticing they were all caught in the same trap I used to be in. Moving fast all year, thinking they're crushing it, but only accomplishing one or two real things. My son-in-law's big achievement? Buying a pool. He forgot to mention they had a baby. That's when it hit me why my year felt so long compared to theirs. Important Points When you're crazy busy with shallow work, time flies by and you accomplish almost nothing. Most people look back and realize their hectic schedule only produced one or two meaningful experiences. That's not living, that's surviving. Deep work in your passion zones actually slows down time and creates richer experiences. I stopped stoking the busyness. I dropped what wasn't serving me. I focused on what fires me up. This past year felt like five years because I was fully present. The secret isn't managing your craziness—it's stopping it entirely and holding your space. You don't need better time management. You need to let go of what everybody says you "must" do and protect the space you create for yourself. Memorable Quotes "Stand up, take a step, repeat. It is the world's simplest success recipe." "You're not going to manage your craziness. You stop doing it." "When you slow down and go deep, when you let the buzz just buzz around you and you start paying attention to what's truly important and experiential in your life, time slows down." Scott's Three-Step Approach Identify and drop what's not serving you, even if everyone says it's a must. Look at your life right now. What could you drop? Not drop and run, but responsibly let go or creatively wiggle your way out. Stop stoking the busyness. Hold your space and don't give it back to anyone or anything. Use the Perfect Week Planner to claim your time. Once you get control of your space, it's yours. Nobody else gets it. This is how you manufacture more time for yourself. Focus on deep work in your passion zones and stay present in experiences. Identify what fires you up. Spend more time there. Let the buzz buzz around you while you go deep in what matters. That's how time slows down.

When was the last time you felt a sinking feeling just thinking about money? For many, money is far more than just numbers in a bank account—it's tangled up with our emotions, childhood experiences, and even our closest relationships. All too often, conversations around money get swept under the rug, leaving us to battle our financial stress and shame alone. But what if unraveling these hidden money wounds is the key to building stronger connections—with ourselves and with others? In this episode, listeners are invited to reimagine their relationship with money and begin addressing the emotional baggage attached to it. Through relatable stories and practical examples, this conversation explores how early money memories shape our beliefs and behaviors, and impact how we communicate with partners, friends, and even our kids. You'll learn actionable steps to identify your own "money story," bridge differences in financial perspectives, and move from feelings of shame or avoidance to a place of security and mutual understanding.

Cyber Monday is here which means all five Black Friday deals are open for one more day. Find them at --> https://simplysquaredaway.com/blackfriday Instead of doing a typical “deal rundown,” this episode is really about something deeper: Simplicity. Over the past year, I realized I've unintentionally complicated my business. Too many downloads. Too many ideas. Too many programs. Too many strategies. Too much noise. And now? I feel this strong pull to simplify everything — my business, my routines, my decisions, my focus. So I'm taking five mornings in December to do a personal “simplification retreat,” and in this episode, I walk you through the three questions I'm asking myself each day to reset, clear the clutter, and refocus on what actually matters. 1. What creates results? Identify the essential actions that truly moved your business forward this year. 2. What creates clutter? Uncover the tasks, tools, habits, offers, and routines that created confusion instead of clarity. 3. What is the simplest way to do the essential thing? Once you know what matters, simplify how you get those actions done. These questions can transform the way you run your business and your life, and you can use them alongside me. I also walk through each of the five Black Friday deals (open for 24 hours!) through the lens of simplicity, showing you how each one removes complexity and helps you build an organized, peaceful foundation for 2026. Whether you're simplifying your business or your home, join me through one of the Black Friday offers IF you think it will aid you in simplifying your life.

Today, we're diving into how artificial intelligence is transforming the way we confirm identities and fight fraud online. If you've ever uploaded a profile photo for a new account, chances are AI has already taken a close look.From banking to social media, companies are increasingly relying on AI-enhanced image search to verify who you say you are. This isn't just about matching a face; it's a sophisticated, multi-layered process. At its core, facial recognition analyzes your unique facial geometry, creating a 'faceprint' that can be compared against a government ID or existing photos. But that's just the start. To combat sophisticated fraud, liveness detection ensures there's a real, live person in front of the camera, not just a static picture or a video replay.

In this powerful episode, Lauren shares her unexpected path to becoming a solo mom through IVF. What she anticipated would be a straightforward process became significantly more complex when genetic testing revealed she's a carrier for a serious condition, requiring full IVF with genetic embryo selection rather than the simpler IUI procedure she'd planned. Key Topics Discussed The Reality of Solo Motherhood Planning Making the decision to become a solo parent after her health crisis Shifting from expectations of an easy conception to navigating complex medical procedures Managing multiple health challenges simultaneously (cardiac issues and fertility treatment) Emotional Regulation Tools The "bag of worries" concept from children's therapy applied to adult anxiety Distinguishing between controllable and uncontrollable worries Permission to feel difficult emotions without shame or guilt Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques for reframing negative thoughts Building Your Support Network Importance of joining fertility support groups and solo mom communities Finding the right fertility specialist who matches your communication style Surrounding yourself with people who can celebrate wins and support challenges Practical Strategies for the Waiting Periods Creating organization systems (IVF folders, question lists for specific appointments) Setting realistic expectations for test results and follow-up timelines Filling waiting periods with meaningful activities and self-care The importance of one-step-at-a-time thinking rather than overwhelming yourself Shifting Perspective Reframing "I have to do this" into "I get to do this" Recognizing the lifelong skills gained through fertility challenges Finding daily positives even on difficult days Understanding that healing and growth take consistent practice Key Takeaways You don't have to navigate this alone - Support groups and community connections are essential for emotional wellbeing during fertility journeys Find the right medical team - Your fertility specialist should make you feel heard, supported, and empowered, not anxious or dismissed Practice emotional regulation - The tools that work for managing stress apply whether you're going through fertility treatment or other life challenges Control what you can, release what you can't - Identify which worries are actionable and which need to be surrendered to specialists or the universe Mental health matters as much as physical health - Prioritizing psychological wellbeing isn't optional during fertility treatment—it's essential Where Lauren Is Now Lauren is currently in the six-week wait for genetic testing results on her embryos, hoping for at least one viable embryo for frozen transfer. She's managing this waiting period by staying connected with her support networks, planning meaningful activities, and welcoming a new puppy companion.

The practice of people self-identifying as Indigenous has come into sharp focus after a number of high-profile cases of “pretendians” claiming to be Indigenous without evidence. However, far less attention has been given to Indigenous people being wrongly labelled as pretendians. In a recent article for Policy Options, Debbie Martin argues that the rush for Indigenous identity policies at universities has led to people with legitimate claims to Indigeneity being swept up in policies that will cause lasting harm. Debbie Martin is Inuk and a member of Nunatukavut. She is a professor in the school of health and human performance at Dalhousie University and the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Peoples' health and well-being.

Open Tech Talks : Technology worth Talking| Blogging |Lifestyle
In this week's episode of Open Tech Talks, host Kashif Manzoor takes you through a convenient, real-world guide to building your first AI workflow, even if you are not technical. After last week's conversation (Episode 175) with Rose G. Loops on Ethical AI, Human Safety & AI Identity Protection, this episode returns to the foundations of GenAI adoption for professionals and enterprise teams. It also continues the learning from Episode 173, How GenAI Is Changing Every Career. Most people know how to write a prompt. Very few know how to connect AI to their real work. This episode solves that gap. Kashif breaks down the entire concept of an AI workflow into four simple building blocks: trigger → input → AI processing → action, and shows how ANY professional can build practical, repeatable workflows using ChatGPT, OCI Gen AI, Claude, Gemini, and more. You'll also hear four real enterprise examples from sales, finance, customer support, and legal, across industries. These examples are practical, repeatable, and immediately usable for working professionals, leaders, and teams starting their GenAI adoption journey. What You Will Learn in This Episode By the end of the episode, listeners will be able to: Understand exactly what an AI workflow is (with a simple formula) Identify the four components every workflow needs Choose the right triggers, inputs, and context for reliable AI output Use LLMs for summarization, classification, analysis, forecasting, and writing Turn repetitive tasks into automated workflows using No-Code tools Understand enterprise considerations: privacy, compliance, cost, integration Build a complete workflow using input → AI → output Apply AI to real departments: sales, finance, legal, customer support Start building repeatable AI processes that improve productivity every week Resources: Starter AI workflow Library

How can you raise concerns safely while protecting both the child and your team?

Naming beneficiaries and successors might seem simple, but one wrong designation can lead to tax headaches, probate delays, or unfair outcomes for your heirs. In this episode, Joe Curry explains how to properly name beneficiaries across your RRSPs, RRIFs, TFSAs, and non-registered accounts — and how to avoid common estate planning pitfalls that could cost your family thousands. Key Takeaways Beneficiary vs. Successor — know the difference. A beneficiary receives the account value after death, while a successor (available only to spouses) continues the account tax-free and without interruption. RRSPs and RRIFs carry hidden tax traps. Non-spouse beneficiaries may get the full payout, but the estate — and the executor — must handle the tax bill. TFSAs can pass on tax-free growth — but only with the right setup. Naming your spouse as a successor holder preserves the tax-free status; naming them as a simple beneficiary does not. Non-registered accounts and property often go through probate. Joint ownership or trust structures can help avoid delays and additional costs. Keep designations up to date. Life changes — and so should your beneficiaries. Ensure account designations align with your will to avoid confusion or accidental disinheritance.

Why do so many young creators feel stuck—limited by resources, confidence, or lack of opportunities—while a select few find ways to break through? In today's episode, we explore the real challenges facing the next generation of filmmakers: imposter syndrome, industry shifts, creative pressure, and the struggle to build momentum without traditional pathways or support networks.Our guest, Jake Ross Bell, is living proof that you don't need film school or Hollywood connections to create meaningful work. At just 21, Jake is an indie filmmaker, writer-director, and creator of the IndieFilm Insider podcast. Known for his dark, character-driven storytelling and gritty DIY approach, he's built a thriving creative community through his company, OrangeJuice Media, producing impactful films on small budgets while pushing artistic boundaries with vision and discipline.In this conversation, Jake shares:How the filmmaking landscape is shifting away from traditional gatekeepersWhy young creatives struggle with confidence—and how to lead even when you feel unqualifiedThe value of learning by doing versus waiting for permissionHow to build community, collaborate effectively, and stay resilientThe mindset needed to pursue big, ambitious projects at a young ageWhether you're a filmmaker, a young creative, or someone searching for direction in a noisy world, this episode offers clarity, inspiration, and a roadmap for turning passion into practice.Quotes:"If you see something that you don't like, do something about it. Don't actually just, you know, wait for it to change itself, because it's most likely not going to." "Art is just people trying to learn stuff about themselves, about the world, about others. That's kind of the vessel I chose—exploring darker dramas to understand the human experience.""A lot of what I would say are my skills come from actually just learning—making mistakes, trying things, and figuring out what works by doing." Actionable TakeawaysChallenge your creative excuses: Identify one project you've delayed because of fear, lack of resources, or perfectionism—and commit to starting it this week using whatever tools you already have.Lead before you feel ready: Practice giving clear direction in one area of your life (school, work, or creative projects). Leadership grows through repetition, not confidence.Study human behavior intentionally: Jake's stories come from observing real people. Spend 10–15 minutes a day watching interactions, emotions, and environments—then journal what you notice.Build your creative community: Reach out to one person who shares your artistic interests and propose a small collaboration. Don't wait for your “team”—start forming it.Redefine your filmmaking (or creative) education: Ask yourself, “What can I learn by doing instead of waiting to be taught?” Then take one concrete step—write a scene, film a rough shot, or create a simple 60-second story.ConclusionThis episode reminds us that creative growth doesn't come from waiting for permission, perfect conditions, or the “right time.” It comes from taking bold steps with what you have, where you are. Through Jake Ross Bell's journey—learning by doing, leading before feeling ready, and pursuing stories with conviction—we see what's possible when passion meets persistence. Whether you're a filmmaker, creator, or someone navigating your own path, the challenge is the same: start now, stay curious, and keep building. Your work only improves when you're brave enough to make it.If you enjoyed this conversation, share it with someone who needs the push to begin their own creative journey.

What if the burnout, overwhelm, and self-sacrifice so many women carry isn't personal failure, but evidence of a system that was never designed for them? Josh Trent welcomes Dr. Melissa Sonners, Women's Mind-Body Alignment Expert, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 783, to reveal why women aren't meant to live in the constant grind, why true feminine power lives in being instead of doing, and how self-care, intuition, and cyclical alignment can rebuild a woman's health from the inside out.

Text us here...What happens when two women working behind the scenes in Hollywood decide they're done watching perfectly good gourmet meals go in the trash? They build a movement.In today's powerful conversation, I sit down with CNN Everyday Hero nominee Hillary Cohen and her powerhouse co-founder Samantha Liu, the founders of Everyday Action, a Los Angeles–based nonprofit rescuing untouched meals from film and TV sets and redirecting them to communities facing food insecurity.These two women are the definition of scrappy, heart-driven leadership. Since launching in 2020, they've redistributed more than 270,000 meals across LA — all while training drivers, building a volunteer network, and operating their nonprofit like a well-oiled production set.Together, we talk about the moment that sparked their work, the misconceptions about unhoused individuals, the emotional impact of giving with dignity, and how everyday people (yes, you and me) can be part of the solution.If you've ever wondered how small actions can lead to massive impact, this episode will light you up.In This Episode You'll Hear:The moment Hillary realized food waste on film sets wasn't “just the way it is”The behind-the-scenes reality of food waste in HollywoodWhat it really looks like to build a nonprofit with zero experience (and a whole lot of heart)The surprising challenges of delivering meals with dignityHow Everyday Action protects the humanity of those they serveThe emotional payoff of serving “just one person”Their dreams for expansion, including a fully fundeThis is an invitation to join a supportive community of purpose-driven entrepreneurs who are creating an impact in the world.A mastermind is a community of peers who exchange ideas, provide support, and offer sound advice for running a successful business.Join the Confident YOU Mastermind now at https://goconfidentlyservices.myflodesk.com/confidentyoumastermindSupport the showOther helpful resources for you: For more about me and what I do, check out my website.

You think you're rational? Think again. We love feeling like thoughtful decision-makers, but the truth is we're riddled with cognitive shortcuts. Daniel Kahneman's Nobel Prize-winning work breaks down the systems of our mind. We constantly substitute hard questions with easy ones; e.g. Buying a stock because you like the company, not because you've done the data. This episode cuts through the 300,000-word book to show you exactly how these shortcuts lead to everything from bad investments to pointless stress about the weather. It's time to stop letting your brain's simple tricks run your whole life. Stop overestimating the importance of your current stress. Identify and reduce low-level daily pains (like a bad commute) for massive life returns. Implement a "sleep-on-it" rule to override System 1's instant commitments. Why let a lazy brain ruin your best decisions? Start thinking slower today. Further Reading: Thinking Fast and Slow - Daniel Kahneman Predictably Irrational - Dan Ariely SPONSORS

Today we're talking about one of the hardest and most important parts of leadership: holding high standards and leading with genuine compassion. This is the backbone of a resilient team — and honestly, it's the part most leaders secretly struggle with. I'm sharing a story from my Air Force days that completely shifted how I understand ethical leadership, and what it really looks like to care deeply without lowering the bar. “Compassion without standards becomes chaos. Standards without compassion become cruelty.” ~Tami Imlay Want to Go Deeper? Ready to stop circling your calling and finally get clear on what's next?

"Taking the time to get input, to get the feedback and listen to the needs might add a few weeks up front, but ultimately, you're going to have a better, stronger solution and support and alignment." - Jesse Jacoby, Founder and Managing Principal, Emergent, LLC Procurement and business leaders face a tangled web: legacy systems, evolving digital capabilities, and rising pressure to do more with less. How do you design an operating model that truly enables transformation without adding more complexity? In this episode, Philip Ideson speaks with Jesse Jacoby, Founder and Managing Principal at Emergent LLC. Jesse's experience guiding Fortune 500 organizations through high-stakes change gives him a practical, people-focused outlook on what really makes business transformation work. In this episode, Philip and Jesse explore how operating models can either help or hinder procurement, why quick fixes rarely stick, and how to leverage change management and AI for meaningful, lasting results. Jesse's insights on avoiding common mistakes and building "muscle memory" for change are a must-hear for anyone stepping into (or leading) transformation. In this episode, Jesse discusses how to: See operating models as interconnected "super systems" rather than isolated processes Identify and untangle legacy complexity before making changes Make the case for change both rationally and emotionally Use AI to augment – not replace – human decision-making Build resilience with ongoing, bite-sized upskilling programs Links: Jesse Jacoby on LinkedIn Subscribe to This Week in Procurement Subscribe to Art of Procurement on YouTube
