Book: To Live or Maybe Not Website(s): http://jongleurpictures.com Facebook: http://facebook.com/garyrevelmovies If the wicked weather we've witnessed so far in 2024 is any indication, every lyric of Gary Revel's groundbreaking 1977 song “Mother Nature” was spot-on. The singer, songwriter and author is a pioneer in raising awareness about the dangers of global warming. But those pursuits are just scratching the surface. In Gary's fascinating memoir, To Live or Maybe Not, readers are invited to see history through the eyes of a man who lived it, as Gary traces his roots from small-town America to his work in naval intelligence during the Vietnam War to his extraordinary investigations into the killings of Martin Luther King Jr., JFK and RFK. Please consider interviewing Gary Revel, who is a fascinating guest. I would also be happy to send you a copy of his book, To Live or Maybe Not, in consideration of a review or feature. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE See History Through the Eyes of a Man Who Lived It: Memoir Packed With Unexpected Gems KILLEEN, Texas, July 15, 2024 — To say that Gary Revel has led a fascinating life is an understatement. From his service in the U.S. Navy to his work for the U.S. government, to his investigations into the deaths of JFK, his brother Bobby and the formidable, iconic, Martin Luther King Jr., even Revel himself is caught off guard by his life's twists and turns. “As you read, you will come to places that you'll say, ‘No way this could be true.' Don't worry, I feel the same way when I remember some things I have done in my life,” Revel writes in the prologue of his memoir To Live or Maybe Not. The story begins with Revel's birth in the small town of Florala, Alabama. His mother and father divorced when he was 5 years old. Music became a friend to Revel, and he formed his first rock 'n' roll band when he was 15. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy after high school, where he served during the Vietnam War. After his honorable discharge from the Navy, Revel went to Hollywood, where he cultivated a music career and became a champion for raising awareness about the dangers of global warming. He later turned from music to focus on his marriage and family, even as he eventually began investigating the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. To Live or Maybe Not takes readers behind the terrifying walls of the infamous Brushy Mountain Prison of East Tennessee, where Revel walked and talked with none other than James Earl Ray. The book ends with Revel and his family back in Hollywood, where he returns to his passion for music and writing. Today, Revel continues to release and distribute music through his Jongleur Music company as well as develop motion pictures via his Jongleur Pictures company. He is also the author of My Angel from Heaven, Milestones, Grempk and Don't Stop Dancing: Stranger Than Fiction, his investigation into the life of Michael Jackson.

Gary Vaynerchuk and Steve Jobs both became the face of their brand, but could this marketing strategy cost you when it's time to sell your agency?  How can you avoid becoming the brand to build a ‘sellable' agency? Today's guest is an entrepreneur who has successfully started and sold four businesses. He discusses the value of personal brands in relation to company success and delves into the challenges faced by service companies in building assets compared to tech or SaaS startups. Tune in to learn about common mistakes made by agency owners when considering selling their businesses and the pitfalls of an obsession with scale. John Warrillow is the founder and CEO of The Value Builder System, a sales and marketing software for business advisors to find, win and keep their best clients. In addition to having started and exited four companies, John is the best-selling author, Built to Sell: Creating a Business That Can Thrive Without You. In this episode, we discuss: How to add value to your agency. Build a ‘sellable' agency. Equity rolls vs. earn-outs.

How Businesses Fall into the Revenue Pitfall Agency owners and service-based businesses often fall into the trap of overvaluing their companies when considering selling them. This common mistake is rooted in their relentless pursuit of growth and expansion. As a public, we tend to idolize big companies as opposed to good companies. This can turn into an obsession that leads agency owners to focus solely on increasing revenue, rather than building systems and processes that can make the business less dependent on the owners and founders. This fixation on growth typically results in rainmakers focusing predominantly on their sales expertise, which, while driving business growth, also increases dependence on the founders. Paradoxically, this dependence diminishes the overall value of the business. For John, the obsession with growth does agencies a great disservice by creating a culture of focusing solely on revenue. Consequently, businesses become so intertwined with the owner's presence that they essentially create a job for themselves rather than an asset that can thrive independently. This realization can be a bitter pill to swallow for many agency owners, especially when they recognize that their ego often drives these attitudes. By subscribing to the notion portrayed in "Mad Men" that their primary role is that of the charismatic pitchperson, they inadvertently create successful jobs rather than valuable assets. An Easy Method to Add Value to Your Agency So how can you avoid the revenue pitfall? John recommends agency owners take their CEO hat off from time to time and replace it with that of the parent of the business. In this sense, rather than micromanaging employees to hit revenue goals, empower them to take ownership of their work. They will feel greater pride and engagement, enabling the agency to thrive with or without you. By prioritizing long-term sustainability you can increase your agency's value and make it more attractive to potential buyers. It's not just about winning big clients or receiving accolades, but about creating a valuable asset that can stand the test of time. John also introduces the concept of assessing agency services according to how "teachable, valuable, repeatable" (TVR) they are to make strategic business decisions based on this. The TVR framework encourages agency owners to assess each service based on how teachable it is to their team, how valuable it is in terms of differentiation from competitors, and how repeatable it is in terms of recurring revenue. According to John, aency owners should focus on services that score high on all three criteria, as these are the services that will ultimately lead to a more sustainable and scalable business. This is not necessarily easy. Getting rid of some low-scoring services may mean walking away from 90% of your revenue. If this is your case, you can jettison the lowest-scoring services at least once a year. Striking the Right Balance as an Agency CEO Building a business that can run without you and that you can eventually sell will also require you to make the transition from agency owner to CEO. This means assuming different roles like setting the vision for the agency, being the face of the organization, understanding the financials, and coaching and mentoring the leadership team. Personally, John disagrees with Peter Drucker's notion that the two key functions that a CEO should focus on are product development and sales/marketing. In the context of an agency, the CEO should prioritize activities that drive revenue and attract new clients. “If you're doing those two functions, your business is worthless without you” he argues. CEOs who are too public-facing and personally branded may undermine the value of their agency when it comes time to sell. This is because potential buyers may view a highly visible CEO as a risk factor, leading to a larger portion of the deal being tied to an earn-out agreement. Therefore, CEOS need to strike a balance between being the face of the organization and focusing on the core functions of sales and marketing. How to Avoid Becoming the Brand: Tips for Becoming a “Sellable” Agency Would VaynerMedia continue to thrive without Gary Vaynerchuk? Just like Apple continued to grow without Steve Jobs, the most important element of that business is Gary's framework and methodology. What people like Steve and Gary did very well in each case is that the brand supersedes the individual. In Gary's case, many people might not realize who he is as a creator or tie VaynerMedia to him. In any case, building a powerful brand that can grow even in your absence is all about branding processes and not just people. Of course, a strong personal brand can be beneficial but it is also essential to establish the processes that drive the business. By doing so, agencies can create value beyond the individual personalities of their founders or leaders. For agency owners who include their name in the agency name, John suggests branding the processes; for instance, “3 things we do before onboarding a new client”. Codify and brand these processes to create a more valuable and attractive asset for potential buyers. This way, agencies can demonstrate a level of consistency and professionalism that goes beyond any individual's involvement in the business. By establishing and branding the processes that drive the business, agencies can create value that is sustainable and transferable, ultimately leading to long-term growth and success. It's something you can do in stages and could take 2 or 3 years complete. It's an important element of reducing dependency on individual personalities and create a more valuable and attractive asset for potential buyers. Equity Rolls vs. Earnouts: One of these will cost you MILLIONS The classic way an agency is sold is you get approached by the buyer who says they're willing to pay X multiple for it. However, once you take a closer look at that price, it's really 40% upfront, with the other 60% tied to an elaborate earn-out component where you become an employee of another agency. Alternatively, John highlights how private equity companies are increasingly doing "roll-ups" to consolidate agencies, especially in ad tech and tech-enabled services. In an equity roll deal, the seller gets some cash upfront but rolls the remaining amount into an equity stake in the entity owning the agency. This provides pros and cons compared to an earn-out model and gives owners more control over the transition. Equity rolls like majority recapitalizations allow owners to sell just a portion of their shares to receive some liquidity. This payout offers financial stability to pay off debts or invest elsewhere while still having skin in the game to take risks growing the agency. However, selling a majority stake means giving up decision-making control. Owners must be comfortable with a new role and adapt to having outside stakeholders that may bring conflicting interests, especially regarding earn-outs or integrating services across divisions. For its part, an earn-out means you'll lose control of the agency, so be aware of the potential pitfalls of this structure. Instead, Jason suggests a different approach where the seller prioritizes receiving cash upfront and maintains control over the company until the earn-out or period of time is completed. This gives the seller more agency in the sale process and reduces the risk of losing control over their business. All in all, as a seller, be aware of what the acquirer is trying to do, their motivations, and how that aligns with what you want to determine whether or not an earn-out makes sense for you. Prepare Yourself Against the Potential Pitfalls of Acquisitions There are potential pitfalls in agency acquisitions and it's important to be cautious when considering selling or merging with another agency. Typically, as a seller, you have to be aware of the fact that you're becoming a minority shareholder and giving up entrepreneurship for a job. Just be vigilant and protect your interests. Do your due diligence when considering an acquisition and thoroughly evaluate the potential buyer and ensure that the terms of the deal are fair and beneficial to the agency. Furthermore, be wary of offers that may seem enticing on the surface but could ultimately result in a loss of control or value for the agency. The most important way you can protect yourself is to understand the true value of your agency before entering into any acquisition agreements. Don't allow yourself to be swayed by promises of high valuations or potential growth opportunities without thoroughly evaluating the risks and potential drawbacks of the deal and ensure that all parties involved in the acquisition are aligned in terms of goals, vision, and values to avoid potential conflicts down the line.

Gary is one of those old timers we all hope to be someday:  retire early, move to the land of your boyhood dreams, and spend the rest of your life hunting and fishing.   Born in raised on a farm in central Michigan, he completed his degree in Fisheries and joined the Army.  In 1962 he married his sweetheart and spent 52 years with her and his two boys.  His work as a fisheries biologist took around Michigan, including 18 years at the manger of the state's best trout stream, the AuSable River.  In Gary's words, "If I had it to do all over again, I would have come to know the Lord a lot earlier and been a better husband and father. Everything else I would leave the same."  If you enjoy the podcast, I'd really appreciate it if you drop us a review, share it with a friend, or find us on Instagram.Topics Discussed: Life after 80 years of hunting and fishing.Remembering your first buck.The really important things in life. Hustling even when life is tough. You can find more about Everett Headley, your host, at his website or Instagram.  Intro Music: Jason Shaw- Back to the WoodsOutro Music: Bumy Goldson- Keep Walking

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss one of the age-old subjects that most podcasters have talked about many times already. But this time, they address a very specific sentiment that the priests and bishops have left with people--and still have yet to answer. Many people who were not directly affected by the priest's abuse, were still felt feeling as if they had been duped into being faithful Catholics--and because of this, hesitate to rejoin God's Holy Church. In current events, major credic card companies cut ties with Pornhub. H5N8 (a recent bird flu in Asia) is wreaking havoc in Japan and other Asian countries. Covid19 lockdowns return--surprise, surprise. US defense bill gives immunity to social platforms, and Trump wants to veto… but is outnumbered. South Korea bans propaganda leaflets being sent to North Korea. William Barr (the major fail) is gone. Switzerland and Vietnam labeled currency manipulators. In the world of nonsense, Florida is plagued by Burmese Pythons and uses dogs to track them down.

What’s the best way to build your audience? Are you using the right platforms to get your message across? Digital marketing and audience building expert Gary Henderson has spent years developing new ways for businesses to grow their audience. Gary is the founder of Digitalmarketing.org, a full-service digital marketing agency with a focus on relationship building and consulting. He is also the host of the “All the Way Up” podcast. The R3 Mat MethodGary’s approach to audience building is different from traditional methods. His ideology is that most businesses aren’t attracting the right audience for their content. Using his R3 Mat method, Gary shows business owners from different industries how to get the most out of their time. The R3 Mat method consists of getting the right message to the right people at the right time. Everything you do to get your message out there should have a purpose. Even if you have tens of thousands of followers on social media, how many of those people are actually going to buy your product or sign up for your service?Gary says it’s all about warming up your audience. Once you get your message out, you can start to see who your audience is. Ideally, by the time you launch a product or introduce a new service, customers will be ready to purchase. How to Build the Right AudienceAs most business owners know, audience building can be an overwhelming task. Gary’s advice is to take a deep dive into how you’re connecting with your audience. How are your posts performing? How many people are attending your webinar? Is all this work actually generating results? If not, it might be time to shift gears. In Gary’s case, he got tired of posting on Facebook every day and trying to come up with witty captions for Instagram posts. Then, he found Clubhouse, a new social media platform that is solely audio-based. Users can join different chat rooms based on different subjects or speakers. For Gary, it has become a new way to talk and interact with people, things that he’s good at. Since joining Clubhouse, he’s made thousands of connections in a very short time. The bottom line for building an audience is to always keep your end goal in mind when finding the right platform for your business. Encourage collaboration and open communication. Content is shared at an exponential rate, so don’t be afraid to keep things open. You never know what connections you’ll make. Find Gary on Clubhouse, as well as Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. Listen to the “All the Way Up” podcast and learn more about his digital marketing services on his website.

Gary Hamel is one of the world’s most influential and iconoclastic business thinkers. He has worked with leading companies across the globe and has been on the faculty of the London Business School for more than 30 years. He also has written 17 articles for the Harvard Business Review and is currently out with a new book, Humanocracy, which he dives into further on this week’s episode!   We still see people as a commodity and most organizations are not very good at turning on the capabilities of their people. We can confirm this by the fact that Gallup says only 15% of employees are engaged in their work. Management oftentimes was hastily put together by inexperienced CEOs or Founders. Bureaucracy really is just a product of its time.   In Gary’s book, the top companies he interviewed understood the value of their employees and they were highly compensated for it. In the way we treat people today, there is a lot of false economy. Young people feel undervalued because they grew up with the internet, where the world was their oyster. They could seek out information, do things, and feel valued. In a corporate environment, they always have to ask for permission in order to advance and it’s making them seek out greener pastures.   If you examine companies that have really lasted and scaled, as well as adapted to the changing times and reinvented themselves, they all prioritized their people and had a unique management style that kept them engaged, and happy.   If you believe bureaucracy is a tax on human effort, then how are these big companies able to afford it? It seems managers are a fan of everything lean, except for lean management. It’s toxic when leaders start to believe they have the crystal ball. The best leaders strive to create an environment where it’s the best place to fail.   Interview Links: Garyhamel.com Humanocracy.com   Resources: Scaling Up Workshop: Interested in attending one of our workshops?

Naren: Welcome to another episode of the Less Insurance Dependence podcast, I am Naren your podcast cohost – today we have an exciting topic. The topic is The 5 Biggest Reasons Dentists Don’t Resign from PPO Plans. Before we jump into the episode I have a quick announcement – many of you know that Gary is the pod-father, he is the very first one in dentistry to start podcasting, and that podcasts called the Thriving Dentist Show.

Gary: Hey Naren I am doing great – thanks for talking about the thriving dentist who we know we get new listeners every week that find the Less Insurance Dependence podcast and it occurred to us  that some may not know that we have another pod act called the thriving dentist show and we know that if they loved the  Less Insurance Dependence show that they are going to love the thriving dentist show, now they are different but they go hand in hand because they both help develop a thriving practice Naren: Yeah, the way I see it they get to listen to their number one coach on the planet when it comes to the business and people side of dentistry and it is free you know and they can listen to it anytime they want – so that is two big benefits!

And we have a fun topic for today - The 5 Biggest Reasons Dentists Don’t Resign from PPO Plans. It is interesting because I believe that nearly every dentist would like to resign from PPO plans but very few of them actually do – so why is that? I sort of started asking this question a couple of years ago – well why not? And I discovered some commonalities – so there was some common thread so I actually identified 5, 5 of the biggest reasons – there are more than that, but I will bet that every one of our listeners will identify with either one or more of these reasons, because it is these reasons that are blocking you from taking action, so there is some kind of fun here Naren. I’m going to identify the 5 Biggest Reasons and then I am going to suggest how to overcome each one  Naren: Awesome Gary: And I think maybe this will inspire our listeners our doctors to identify their own reasons and you know and maybe they will recognize and say they wait a minute that is me! That’s what I was thinking! And that is why I am frozen. Naren have you ever set out to do something and whatever it is whatever realm it is kind of just frozen because you did not know where to start or you did not know how to overcome some hurdle you saw? Has that ever happened to you? That happens to me every week  Naren: I mean absolutely – I will give you a personal example. Early on in my career I did my own taxes and I hit you know those details and numbers and just hated it – I just liked big ideas and the 10,000 foot – I mean every bill and every dollar – and twenty-four cents so what I would do is I would ignore it ignore it and then finally when something bad is going to happen – I wake up and realize – I do not need to do this – I can hire someone who can do this and take care of me. Gary: Right Naren: And version one was we just took all these papers and gave it to them, but now we found a  better firm that just lets us automatically upload things – so it is all in the cloud and it Is connected to our bank we do not upload anything it just magically everything shows up and the only thing we have to do is kind of categorize and make sure it is in the right bucket so it is the same situation but my mindset and maybe the approach that changed and all of a sudden no big deal – it was handled. I don’t know if that is a good example but – Gary: that is a great example – oftentimes, when we are handling something we hit, the big hurdle Naren: Yeah  Gary: and the big hurdle just stops us and in this hurdle, you are going to find out how to burst through each one of those hurdles and take some action on reducing your PPO involvements. So kind of fun, can I dive right in? We have 5 of them Naren: Yes Gary: I have numbered them one to five and they are not numbered in importance – they are of equal importance but I will number them so that there is some structure to the podcast. So number one – remember that these are the five biggest reasons dentist don’t resign from PPO plans. Number one - the dentist does not actually know the financial impact of actually being in network. Now think abbot that for a minute Naren. Naren: Yep Gary: They don’t know and I think this is a big one – because if they truly knew it would be perhaps the most inspiring information they could have as to why they should be out of network, so let’s list each one of these and come back to suggest solutions – so before I go to number two though I think what is common is I think the dentist knows that PPO participation has a negative effect but they just don’t know how bad, how much Naren: Yeah Gary: You know it is like I know I shouldn’t eat this but you plug it in Naren: Yeah McDonalds Gary: Yeah fast food – I know I should not eat this I know that but they don’t really know how bad it is  Naren: Right Gary: And if they knew how bad it is they would say no no I am not good to do that  Naren: Right Gary: So number one the dentist doesn’t actually know Naren: Gary really quick – is it okay if we include that podcast episode that you did? Gary: Yeah that is what I am going to- you got ahead of me Naren that was the solution Naren: Oh okay never mind okay keep going  Gary: We are going to help them understand what happens in their practice including the PPO write off calculator so they can know what that actually is. I’ll come back to that Naren: Perfect Gary: Okay number 2 - the dentist doesn’t know how to successfully market to get patients other than being on an insurance plan  Naren: Right Gary: The practice is infected with PPO plans which means the vast majority of ways in which the patient chooses them is that they are on the plan and as a result of all of that activity coming in they have never really been inspired to market any other way to attract patients other than the ones on their plan so they do not know how to market Naren: Right Gary: And there is a good solution for that one – each one of these have a solution which is I hope you are interpreting this as good news. Number 3 – the dentist doesn’t really have any role models to motivate and inspired them to let them know that this can be done – you know if the entire world that you live in and all your dental colleagues are in dentistry network then you might kind of resign to the fact that – well I guess that is just the way this is  Naren: Right Gary: Apparently nobody is out of network – I mean they kind of are the kind of unicorns do they really exist? Naren: That is a saying isn’t it – you are the five most people you spend time with  Gary: Yes you become the 5 people you spend the most time with an if most dentist statistically are your colleagues are going to be PPO providers if that is the world that they travel in – they network in then that is all they see and pretty soon it becomes kind of a self- perpetuating process – well I guess that is just how it is and you kind of resign well as much as I would like to do that I really think it is actually kind of wishful thinking g I can’t do that, so that is reason number 3. Reason number 4 – lack of support from their team members, the talk to their office manager and their office manager goes oh no no doctor we could never do that, if we do that we would lose all of our patients and the doctor just got confirmation of a fear that he or she has. Can you imagine that Naren?  Naren: Yeah Gary: Going to your office manager and saying Linda I am thinking about resigning from Po plans what do you think, oh no no no doctor we will lose all of our patients – right oh okay never mind Naren: Just give up exactly Gary: And I am not faulting the tam member there- the only experience she has in dentistry is with the PPO practice and so the lenses that she looks through, I believe her heart  is in the right place, but it is  - she is not informed and she does not have an experience base outside of that and I don’t believe she is trying to torpedo the dentist I believe that she is genuinely concerned for the dentist which is fair but imagine if it were that blunt oh no doctor no doctor we would really lose all of our patients – that would really, if the doctor was kind of fragile on thinking about whether I can do this or not and they get that from a trusted team member that’s going to kind of heavily hit the brakes you won’t tap the breaks  Naren: Right Gary: You are going to hit it as hard as you can Naren: Right Gary: And no I am not being disparaging to a team member who holds that perspective that is a fair perspective Naren: Absolutely and again then again that is all they know so I mean like we went to school in Chicago and my school IIT is outside of Chicago was in the south side of Chicago where there are a lot of projects and t is very sad because most of these buildings have bullet holes and if you are growing up in an environment where this is everything you see and this is everything you know it is hard to kind of you know escape that  Gary: Yeah it is really a cycle that is hard to break Naren: Yeah Gary: Yeah that cycle outside of Chicago is a terrible cycle for many but also the cycle of PPO plans is something that is hard to break through – the reason number 4 – lack of support from team members and reason number 5 – they think thy can’t do it in their town or their city or their area I don’t think I will be able to I adjust don’t think I will be able to do it here and you lug in the reasons why and it becomes irrational – I think this can be done somewhere but I do not think I could do it here. So those are the 5, so those are not arbitrary those come up after me asking that question from thousands of dentists, doctor what stops you from resigning from a PPO plan and those are the 5 common answers, so let’s go through and find a solution for each one. Naren: Right perfect so let’s jump in Gary let’s give the solutions Gary: right so let’s go back o number 1 – actually know the financial impact of being in network.  You know we mentioned at the top of the show of the other podcast we do called the thriving dentist show. We did an episode recently about the one metric that dental insurance companies don’t want you to know and it is all about essentially covering up what the discounts are what the adjustments are so you don’t know the impact of that. So what I would like to do is put a link to that episode in the show notes and that’s our thriving dentist show link, and while we do that, in that episode we talk abbot PPO insurance plan calculator to calculate exactly what your adjustments and discounts are from PPo plans and we will put a link to that calculator in the show notes here as well and the reason why – if I can just know the top off it, the reason why dentists don’t know is – nine out of ten dentists enter their adjusted fees into their practice management software – no the actual fees but the adjusted fees and that is on the guidance of their dental insurance practice management – their practice management software – so whether it is Dentrix eagelsoft open dental or soft dent, whatever software they use nine out of ten dentists enter their contracted fees not their UCR fees. Naren: Right Gary: And they don’t know as a result they never know, you know I ran through this exercise earlier this week with a potential client and this was a nice strong practice and I asked him do you know what your write offs are – your insurance write offs? And he said Gary I don’t know I entered my fees I followed the advice of Dentrix and I entered my contracted fees. I asked him if he would be interested in knowing he said yeah and I went through the calculator with him and we discovered that this office had over 400,00 dollars a year in insurance write offs  - 400,000 if you, let’s use 400,00 as a round off but it was actually more than that, but 400,00 divided by 12 a month is 33,333 dollars a month so I told this doctor – doc you are spending 33,333 dollars a month on marketing and he said no no Gary I think you are looking at the wrong this on my profit and loss statement, I know I spend money on marketing but I am not spending that much. We were on a zoom meeting like this and he can see my face and I can see his face in the video. So I said doc look at my face in the video and I said doc you are spending and I used air quotes and I said doc you are spending 33,333 dollars a month on marketing and when I did that the light bulb went off in his head – and he said oh my gosh I am paying that. The reason why I say you are spending that much on marketing is because the insurance comp any is providing you with patients  Naren: Right Gary: And as soon as I said that to him it was literally like the flood gates of understanding were opened to him. That’s why I said the number one reason is that they don’t know the financial impact to participate in the plan. When I tell you that – did you realize that you are spending 33,333 dollars a month on marketing? Instantly they think wait a minute there is a better way – I may be doing that now but I am not going to do that in the future. Naren: Right makes sense because they don’t know like you know out of sight out of mind 0 you don’t realize it because they don’t know and it doesn’t hurt you and you don’t see it Gary: You don’t know Naren: Yeah Gary: And know they know, you know that would be a good quote to accompany this episode when we know better we do better. Naren: I love that quote – yeah. Gary: You two when we know better we do that – and that is just a specific example, of hat quote and that can apply in may avenues of our life but certainly it applies to this area making decisions right, okay he second one – the dentist doesn’t know how to market for patients other than being on the dental insurance plan. And I am just going to be very direct – follow my lead just do what I do. We are an EKWA client – EKWA is your company Naren. My practice - Life Smiles is a paying EKWA client and it’s the best marketing return on investment that I have ever got on my 13 years of ownership of my life smiles dental care. We are one of your platinum clients  Naren: Yes Gary: And we play 1200 dollars a month for all inclusive comprehensive services, it ids a flat fee and it is all inclusive, it doesn’t go up it is fixed and it provides us with 80 new patients a month and every one of those are choosing us for other reason – other reasons hat were influencing them to choose up – and just do what we do on that one – what a great way to instantly get on the oath to mastering marketing in your practice. Naren: Right and you spend 1.8% compared to the 38% that you used to spend  Gary: I mean think about that – if I analyze that – the doctor who is spending 33,333 dollars a month if he was to go with EKWA he is now going to spend 14,400 a year? Naren: Yes If I get my math right, let’s call it 15 just to round that up – so let’s spend 15,000 dollars a year instead of 400, and get t the added benefit of having his patients choosing him for other reasons on their plan – Gary: Right So there you go, okay – role number 3 – no real role models to inspire the dentist to break free and move from insurance. Here I would like to invite our listeners I can be your role model. Naren: We were just talking to a client of yours recently Gary – he first was our client and he then became your client – he has been listening to you to two years now since your launched the Less Insurance Dependence show and he literally told me that every day I am surrounded any someone who really knows what he is doing had done it before and is part of the community he is part of the I love dentistry Facebook group so he gets positive reinforcement every day along with the other 5500 members. So I believe you have created tribe of people – you know I love that quote – if it has been done before it must be possible something- Gary: I was about to; say doctor reed taught me that one. I believe it came from somewhere else but I always give him credit because that is where I learned it from – it has been done before so it must be possible and let me go a step further Naren. On the thriving dentist show I am owing to put a link in the show notes her of three dentist who have done fee for service practices and they are youg dentist who have successfully created fee for service practices – we are going to put a link to those 3 in the show notes here so they can listen to these again because it is not just me but others who have done this Naren: Right Gary: It is very cool ND these are awesome young dentist – and it gets better I had to think about it, all 3 started a fee for service practice from scratch in a highly competitive area by the way what do you think all three of these dentist heard as they announced their plan to their dental friends?  Naren: Yeah not possible  Gary: You cant do that that’s not – don’t you realize how competitive it is?  Naren: Yeah Gary: And all three of these docs seemed to have the same kind of temperament that I do – I love it when people tell l me I cannot do something.  Naren: Right Gary: Sometimes I think my wife does that to me because she knows exactly how it triggers me in a positive way Naren: exactly Gary: She knows something you know literally at the core done at the cellular level I can go yeah just watch. So how cool is that – they can have 4 mentors and 4 different voices different areas different perspectives – all showing them that it can be done. Naren: Right Gary: Number 4 lack of support from team members – here’s what I want you to do on that one doctor start talking to your team members about what is in it for them – as you work to resign from PPO plans – think about that. Think about Linda the office manager – think about what she said, oh doc you can’t do that. Think about this is what would our life be like as my office manager if we didn’t have people from the PPO plans? Start talking to them about what is in it for them – and I don’t mean a one bullet point conversation – multiple bullet points. Doctor if you feel like a hamster in treadmill as a dentist providing care in a PPO practice how do you think your team members feel? They are also hamsters on a treadmill Naren: Right Gary: And you know how you feel how patients say I don’t want to come if they don’t have my insurance and imagine how your team members feel when thy – your team members want to help people and the truth is when you are in network you are not able to help people as fully as you can, start talking to them about these things. Naren: The other thing you taught me Gary was you didn’t make your podcast – this one no insurance you said less insurance dependence right so one step at a time, one foot in front of the other – it is not over whelming but if I tell you need to do a full minute mile tomorrow you are going to say forget it, but if I tell you les go for a 7 minute I don’t know what your response would be  Gary: You experienced that! Naren: Yeah  Gary: Use the process that we can follow Naren: Exactly  Gary: It is baby steps that I cn do that Naren: Yeah Gary: I can do that –  Naren: It is like driving at night all you can see is the next hundred meters but that all you need. Gary: Yes that’s all you need to start – yeah that s a great point so we want you to provide you some information to your team members so that they can support you in this. Number 5 they think they cannot do it in their town. Well I would like to answer that right now – we have been successful as a coach, I have been successful as a coach with dentists in every type of location environment big cities suburban locations big towns smaller towns small tons, rural remote and every kind of practice environment has been successful. Hers how I want you to think about this – how many patients do you need to have a great practice? Really again it all depends on your goals your size as so on but I think that any of our listeners would agree that somewhere between 1500 and 2000 active patients would make a really good practice –  Naren: Right Gary: And you can find those people in every kind of location and you can find people who don’t have insurance because when they don’t have insurance they don’t ask you two questions – one are you in network? And two when you resent treatment they don’t ask you to cover by insurance  Naren: Right Gary: And three groups of people you can find think of them as silos of people – one would be retirees – retires wouldn’t have insurance –typically another group would be the other end of the age spectrum – millennial, people who in their 20s and 30s – they have not reached the point in their careers where they have accorded benefits and then the third group which is kind of  a catch all group and is kind of a big group is the gig economy workers – gig economy workers are independent workers they are freelance workers, independent contractors – Uber drivers, lift  drivers, freelance workers Etsy shop owners BnB owners and that group is expanding so I ask myself are those people – we found those people in every type of location , and If you are in an area that is highly corporate maybe you are in an area like Huston or a city like Chicago that is highly corporate – ask your self could I find myself patients who are retirees millennial and gig workers and every time the answer is oh yea and those groups of people are much larger than you think when you start to circulate in those areas, it’s like that comment about buying a new care that is a red car what happens? We start to see red cars everywhere. Naren: Exactly Gary: And when you start trying to attract retirees you think here is all the places I can find retirees in my community  Naren: Right Gary: And so there is the 5 ways, the 5 biggest reason and then the counteract to all of those is how to overcome each one f those well Naren I hope this has been inspiring for our listener to overcome what I hope have been the hurdles for them and I hope that this inspires them to take action and to continue down that path just to successfully reduce insurance dependence – we are in the middle of creating our grass roots movement and I am so encouraged by the results we are seeing  you know it’s all about helping the dentist – it is about providing personal professional and financial satisfaction and perhaps the most strategic thing you could do to achieve those ends is to successfully reduce insurance dependence  Naren: Absolutely Gary and going back to what I said at the beginning of the podcast – if you are a fan of the less insurance dependence show you are going to be a fan of the thriving dentist who and we are going to put in a link and we want to give away some swag so do us a favor go to the thriving dentist show – you can listen to one episode, 5 episodes or even 50 you can binge listen if you want and then write us a review so if you write a review of r the thriving dentist show and you do I in the next week or two we are going to pick a winner and you are going to get swag – so you will get a thriving dentist swag Gary: And we have some cool swag Naren I have to admit we’ve got some very cool swag so yeah jump on tunes and write us a review and get some fun swag to go along for it and if you write us a review for less insurance dependence we will send you a less insurance dependence swag so we will pick on the winner each week. Naren: Well thanks so much for listening I look forward to the next less insurance dependence podcast.

Your Reward For Hard Work Gary Vaynerchuk, Wine Library, Crush it, and more made changes in his life. I've always said, "The reward for success is more work." That's what happened to Gary.  When I began MTM, I decided not to base my life as a speaker on the road because my imagination told me it would be fun. I knew better. In Gary's case, he has enjoyed success with speaking, mentoring, and teaching but there was a problem. He wasn't engaging and doing. For a guy who likes to be in the trenches, he wasn't happy. As he would say, "that the way I roll!" Are you doing something that you think is making you happy, but you know it is not? How do YOU roll?

In Gary's own words: I am the founder of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), I was born April 13, 1940 and have been intensely interested in personal improvement via psychology since my age13. That was when I recognized that the quality of my thoughts was mirrored in the quality of my life. Since then I have been self taught in this field, seeking only those procedures that, in my opinion, produced results. I consider EFT, the core of which I learned from Dr. Roger Callahan, to be an important tool to achieving the highest levels of healing. I also have high regard for Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) in which I am a Certified Master Practitioner. Please know that I am neither a psychologist nor a licensed therapist. Rather, I am a Stanford engineering graduate and an ordained minister and, although I don't pound the table for any particular religion, I do come at this procedure from a decidedly spiritual perspective.

Every year police departments at various levels in the Region accumulate crime statistics. Different areas experienced rises and falls among categories such as homicides, shootings, property crime, etc. NWI's more urban zones, particularly Hammond, East Chicago and Gary, see high amounts of crime. It's prompted efforts to decrease those levels, which have seen some success with technology and programs. In Gary, the efforts are two-fold, manifesting in investigative work by the Lake County/Gary Metro Homicide Unit and the anti-crime initiative, Gary for Life. Started in 2014 by Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson and operated by the Gary Police Department, the initiative is concentrating resources on reforming Gary's gang members to try and make the Steel City safe again.

So, is there a way out of the 9-to-5? Um, yes. That’s what you’ll learn in this episode of the Cash Flow Diary podcast from guest Gary Beasley, who took his own experience in real estate to create his own entrepreneurial thing. You’re sure to get answers to your burning questions about jumping into the real estate investing pool.  As you might have guessed, Gary wasn’t always the real estate entrepreneur he is today who started www.Roofstock.com, which is something that allows a whole lot more people to participate in real estate investing than ever before. In Gary’s words, he’s proud to have been a part of building a very disruptive company and makes money for the investors and the employees! But he says another thing that gets him excited about Roofstock is the psychic rewards he receives from knowing he is a part of this brainchild. Gary loves what he’s doing! Coming from a small town in Indiana, he grew up in a traditional, hard-working family where he learned the value of working toward goals. Gary said he feels fortunate not to have grown up with money, because he’s known a number of people who came from money and lacked the motivation to get out there in the real world and do anything special. Gary says that early on he knew the path he didn’t want to take was one that would force him into clipping coupons and working in a company Monday through Friday.  Gary says that you don’t need your own money to get started as an entrepreneur. While you can’t start a company that requires a lot of capital to get it going, if you have a great idea and a well-thought-out business plan, you can capture the interested of angel investors. In fact, in his experience, investors often like the “scrappy entrepreneur” who will work really hard to make the dream become a successful, income-producing reality.  You’ll learn a lot about courage, drive, motivation and what makes an entrepreneur great in this episode.

From BCB... wu-236-open-mic-science-march-7 2015 was the warmest year on record.  Are you worried about climate change yet?  If so, you might want to attend Dr. Gary Lagerloef's upcoming presentation “Climate Science in the Space Age – an Update” for Open Mic Science Night at the Treehouse Cafe, Monday March 7 at 8 PM. Listen here as Dr. Lagerloef, senior scientist at Earth and Space Research, talks with BCB host Sonia Scaer about his climate research. In Gary's presentation he will explain the many aspects of climate research based on satellite measurements and some new findings since the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2013. IPCC reports cover "the scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant to understanding the scientific basis of risk of human-induced climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation.” Dr. Lagerloef began his career in oceanography as an undergraduate, completed a Ph.D. in Physical Oceanography at the University of Washington in 1984, and later worked in private sector marine science. From 1988-1990, he served as Physical Oceanography Program Manager at NASA in Washington DC in the ocean science remote sensing program. In 1995, he co-founded Earth and Space Research, a non-profit scientific research institute in Seattle where he has developed several research projects devoted to studies of the upper ocean dynamics and climate variability using satellites.

On the line today is none other than social media icon, and New York Time Best Selling Author of the “how-to” social media book, “Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook”, Gary Vaynerchuk, to talk details on how to crush it on his favorite platform, Twitter!   We start off asking the question, “Why Twitter?”   For Gary, that was an easy one.  He says Twitter is the one place where we can get consumer’s points of view for free and not pay for data and we can action on these points of view, such as joining a conversation, and you’re welcomed rather than shunned for joining.   One challenge Gary points out (which is a great tip if you can be patient) is that Twitter is a long-term play.  If you try to move too quickly before you’ve built rapport and added value you aren’t likely to see success on the platform.     As Gary points out, you can’t just throw “right hooks” (which is to take or ask), you have to throw jabs first (which is to give or provide value).   In Gary’s opinion, Twitter is the only true social media platform as it is predicated on community and conversation, as opposed to a platform like Facebook which is all “push” driven.   When it comes to establishing your account, Gary highly recommends using your own name, rather than your brand or company name.   Gary’s recommendation for how to get in the game on Twitter is to go to twitter.com/search and just find people who are talking about your topic.  The key though, is again, the “jabs”.  You can’t just go straight at people with your sales pitch.   Gary sums it up well with a great analogy.  “Twitter is a cocktail party.  You don’t go to a cocktail party and deliver a presentation.”   It’s about connecting and building relationships.   When it comes to searching, you have to search what people are actually going to say, like “drinking a smoothy” or “hitting the gym” vs. just “smoothy” or “exercise” where you may get a lot of unrelated content or spam.   Another tip Gary shares is to weave what is trending into your content (without overdoing it, of course).   So much great Twitter feedback packed into one episode!   Gary, you rock!   To get a free copy of Gary’s book, “Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook, How to Tell Your Story in a Noisy Social World” (just pay the shipping) go to http://lifeonfire.com/gary-book/!   Digging this episode??  If so, please write us a review in iTunes telling us what you love about Life on Fire TV and leave us a 5-star rating.   Thank you for subscribing to our podcast in iTunes!  You’re awesome!
