Podcasts about incentives

In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Bassem Mikhael, SVP, of the Clinical Enterprise at Somatus. Started in 2016 by Dr. Ikenna Okezie, Somatus partners with clinicians, health plans, health systems, and multi-disciplinary community-based care teams to improve health, quality of life, and cost of care for patients with kidney disease. Somatus employs over 1,450 team members and serves more than 150,000 patients across 36 states. Dr. Mikhael and I discuss: 1) The vital role that kidneys play in maintaining health, the issues that arise from diseased kidneys, and how these challenges translate into per patient costs that are 10x higher, on average, than those for patients without kidney disease, 2) The traditional model for treating patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and how Somatus' model realigns incentives to focus on integrated, preventative, and patient-centered care, 3) Why the federal government, CMS, and CMMI have prioritized investments in kidney care and what we've learned from their initiatives and care model tests, and 4) Clinical innovations that make Dr. Mikhael optimistic about the future for patients living with kidney disease.

This week we're breaking down “The Incentive”. In an attempt to please Robert California by doubling sales, Andy creates an incentive program that really motivates the employees to achieve the grand prize of tattooing his butt. Jenna shares an email “Office Ladies” got from TV critic Myles McNutt, Angela uncovers a Dwight “chunk” deleted scene and the ladies share what kind of tattoo they would get.

If you have ever been interested to see a group of business owners conduct a communal eye roll, bring up the topic of bonus and incentives. A few years ago we had a client who decided to reward their team from a banner year and forego distributing a substantial six-figure margin to himself and his partner.  There was no expectation created for this one-off distribution.   It was a $200,000 sum that would be distributed to around 25 employees… you can do the math.  Not bad.   The response? Crickets.   Of the 25 employees, there was a thoughtful “thank you” from three, a casual “thank you” from a few more, and crickets from everyone else. To add insult to unexpected injury, the next day an employee came in and confessed, “I just got a job offer to go make $10k more per year and I don't know what to do…” Candidly, when calculating an employee's compensation, most owners in businesses with less than 50 employees have not considered the additional investment of bonus or incentive outlays.  When the thought finally arrives the plan is usually built from a position of fear rather than a position of joy, celebration, and sharing.   In other words, “What can I do to make these employees feel more valued so they don't leave!” Most owners wish to generously share in some of the margin that has been created over and above what has been budgeted for base compensation and commission. There is a chasm that exists that almost renders any over-and-above distribution as challenging at best, frustrating, and divisive at worst. Owners are forced to think of the business finances in terms of the net…what is left over after all responsibilities are payed out. Employees are often time locked in on the gross… the big numbers that come in at the top or total sales.   An employee can do math in their head and determine the total sales of either their efforts, or the total sales of the company and think, “Well, look how much I generated for the business, and all I get is my base with a little extra (or sometimes no extra at all).” The owner looks at the math spelled out on the profit and loss statement, the cash balances in the bank account, and the budget of projected expenses and revenues for the coming year and thinks, “How in the world can we afford to pay out any additional and not be cash-strapped for the future?” It is a silent stalemate between owners and employees, top line and bottom line, perceptions, and expectations.   How can employees see additional compensation as motivation and incentive, instead of seeing it as an expectation? How can owners see additional compensation as a budgeted item to be shared and joyfully extended, instead of seeing it as a fear-motivated mortgage that taxes future growth opportunities (remember, marginal cash is the prime fuel for future growth).   Most owners desire and have motivation to extend extra-compensation to reward over-and-above effort and to show additional appreciation. There are however three primary negative motivations for the build-out and deployment of these plans that usually result in a lack of health and longevity.  Owner guilt is where the owner feels unwarranted guilt for having access to the net income of the business while employees do not.   What is often missed during boom times is that the owner must use a portion of the net to stack in reserves for when the business has negative net income and wants to continue employing personnel even though the business cannot “afford” it in a particular month of the year. Another negative motivation for deployment of extra-compensation plans is an owner's fear that an employee will leave.  It is a crucial principle that all businesses be built to weather a valuable team member leaving the roster.  A business will never be bulletproof from the handicap of losing great talent… but it can be prepared on how to respond.   Businesses must be cautious about being held hostage by one highly valuable employee; it can damage morale and cash-strap a small business for future opportunities. A final negative motivation for extra-compensation plans are employee demands in a vacuum of understanding the full scope of the business finances.    Financial literacy in a business is key to building consensus and understanding around incentive compensation and bonuses.  A two step approach will aid employees in understanding the basics of business finances. The first of the two steps to financial literacy is communicating with all employees that a dollar is not a dollar because… A dollar out is always more than a dollar (think when you pay for a sandwich that costs $9.95…you will pay more than $9.95 with taxes, tip, delivery, time spent, etc.) A dollar in is always less than a dollar (think when you receive a payment for $9.95…you will send the majority of that $9.95 to other people before you get to keep what is left over) The second of the two steps to financial literacy is communicating with all employees that business finances are reviewed in a past, present, and future tense.   The profit and loss statements and balance sheets reveal what has happened (past). The subdivided bank accounts and level two dashboards reveal what is happening (present). Simple budgets and pro formas give insight into what will happen in the future assuming the inputs hold true (future).   Reminding employees that a significant part of financial literacy is assuming what may happen (future) and so not all hoped-for elements of compensation can be guaranteed.   Communication of preparation, purpose and payout are the three priorities of creating an incentives program that can yield the hoped for results (notice the use of “can” and not “will”...there will continually be volatility around this issue). First, in communicating purpose, it is helpful to understand what these programs exist for. What is a bonus?  Without being punchy or rude, a bonus is simply a bonus, a cherry on top, an unexpected treat, and added benefit that displays generosity.  That's it. Bonuses should never be extended for baseline job role responsibilities, for showing up regularly and on time.   It is not uncommon to overhear someone say, “Well, I've been here for 12 years, I should get…” You have been compensated fairly and regularly for 12 years, that is what you have received.  A bonus is undeserved extra.  No one should ever… ever expect a bonus and should never base any portion of their personal budget on an anticipated bonus.   A bonus is a bonus.    The purpose of incentive programs is to incite (same root) an action.  Most compensation opportunities above base should have the spirit of an incentive compensation in contrast to bonus or “profit sharing” (btw, profit sharing can be a dangerous term, and in some states place the business in a vulnerable legal positon).  What is the business trying to incite, to encourage, to stir up in addition to the baseline job roles and responsibilities?   Incentive compensation carries an over-and-above idea of performance over-and-above the base job role.   There are multiple ways to structure incentive compensation plans that all yield various outcomes.   A few structures of notable mention are… A simple lump sum based on a percentage of an employees base salary based on hitting target profit Top line percentage of sales based on total volume Bottom line percentage of sales based on net income per sale after job costing Monthly or quarterly target incentives based on sales, or other measurable activities  Regardless of the structure you decide, there are a few crucial questions to ask as you prepare for an incentive structure. What will be incentivized? How will it be tracked? What flexibility does the program have to adjust if it is counterproductive either to the team or to the business?  How will the incentive dollars be set aside to ensure profitable payout? (i.e. subdivided bank account?) When and how will it be paid out? How will it be well-communicated when it is paid out to achieve the desired outcome? Every incentive payout should come with added communication both the celebrate the payout and to add a subtle reminder that this is over-and-above and you should cautiously budget your life based on this pay out.  One final thought, all incentive structures should be considered to be subject to change at any time, and at least reviewed and updated annually.  You are not required to be held hostage by a bad incentive compensation structure…it will not only ruin the business, but ruin opportunities for each employee.  Don't allow the benefit of one to backfire and cause the detriment of many.   Incentive structures can be a value add to a business and to a team IF it is well-communicated, held with open hands to adjust over time, and generously given and received. 

Despite complaints about privacy and exploitative revenue sharing, social media giants like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter still dominate the social media landscape after more than a decade   Why aren't users and creators exploring other platforms?

We're digging back into waste in the food system this week, but to narrow the focus, we're zooming in on Australia. Australia is a country that has set specific targets on waste reduction, but so far, is largely on track to miss them, and companies all along the value chain are contributing. Alongside our broader discussion of overall waste targets in the country, we take a more focused look at a food system case study: a meal kit delivery company that deals with a diversity of waste streams– from ingredients to packing to fuel.For more information and resources, visit our website.

Before English was widely spoken in the far corners of the globe, Latin was the lingua franca for much of the European world from the days of the Roman Empire into the middle centuries. Latin stands at the root of many of our English words and offers us contextual insight into the flavor of our language. Some Latin words proved so powerful in the fullness of their meaning that we simply adopted them without alteration into our common language. Such it is with the financially laced Latin phrase pro forma. With past-centric financial statements like profit and loss and balance sheets, it is helpful to see what-was in the lifecycle of our business.   With the power of subdivided bank accounts and the Level Two Dashboard merging the perspectives of real-time cash, real-time receivables, and real-time payables, it is helpful to see what-is in the current state of our business in real cash. We need the what-could-be picture to help us with a complete past, present, and future snapshot of our business.   The pro forma is a common financial statement with powerful insights. Pro forma literally means “as a matter of form(ality)”.  In other words, if you want to know the hypothetical future of an element of your business, especially a financial element, then create a form or a formality and run hypothetical scenarios. The pro forma allows for such scenarios and provides powerful insight.  The downside is that it takes time and focus.  It feels unproductive because it is a future that is not promised. It is the perfect work and effort given by an executive leader looking to have proximity to the business.  The good news for a pro forma is that when you have the initial foundation of calculation built on a simple spreadsheet, you can continue running scenarios with often nothing more than a few tweaks to the calculator each time. Here are some of the key areas you would implement and utilize a pro forma: Determining the compensation of a new hire Discovering impact to the bottom line through any role (new or existing) Uncovering future revenue and or expenses projections based on anticipated sales Future plan your product inventory (or billable hour inventory in a service business) and availability based on seasonality To simulate a variety of “what if” scenarios with business finances, personnel, and production A simple pro forma is often the first step to answering the question, “what would happen if…”  If we hire that person?  If generated that revenue?  If we stocked up on that inventory?  If we saw a 10% reduction or a 20% increase in sales? There are a few basic elements needed to build a simple pro forma calculator for your business. First, you will need to define the purpose of the particular pro forma calculation.  An example purpose may be to answer, “What is the financial impact to the business of hiring a new person?” Next, define what categorical outcomes the pro forma will provide… what is the ultimate result or number you are looking for?  In our example, the “financial impact” means looking at the net income of the business if we hire the person and they receive a compensation of X and produce a work-product of Y. Once you have your ultimate result defined then begin to work backwards to fill in the gaps of values (inputs) you will need to know in order to calculate a final result. Typical foundational cells or values to include in a compensation pro forma are: Base compensation values Incentive compensation (bonus) values Any other expenses (overhead, etc.) values Type(s) of product or service(s) Average ticket price of product(s) or service(s) A spread of months and years to run your scenarios (Year One/Month One, Year One/Month Two, etc.) Pro formas can actually be quite addictive as you become equipped with greater objective information to make decisions in a constantly moving subjective climate.   A pro forma is best situated within a business that runs the RPMs of great leadership. A culture of repetition ensures that the necessary communication feedback loops are in place to regularly run pro formas for decision-making. A culture of predictability ensures that the results of the pro formas find a home in the decision-making process.   A culture of meaning ensures that the decisions made based in part on pro forma generated data is properly and appropriately integrated into the day to day aligned with the vision, the mission, and the values of the business.

The Torah demands thst e do not hate others in our heart. But some people sre just do annoying - and worse! Here is a foolproof method to get that hatred out of your heart.

So, let me just cut to the chase here with very little preamble, and all of this is a setup to the interview that follows, although it is not really what the interview that follows is all about. A mentor of mine used to say, you can't legislate the heart. Let me also suggest you can't give someone in finance financial incentives and then expect them to not prioritize financial incentives. It stands to reason that if the healthcare industry is found to be quite attractive to those who are money focused, then do I need to say this? The money focused amongst us will, of course, do the whatever to the extent that they can make money. They aren't gonna be throwing their backs into quality or cost effectiveness or taking care of patients. They are throwing their backs into making money. Is anyone shocked? Now, don't get me wrong; I'm not a Pollyanna. And in this country, in order to run a healthcare business, you have to make money; otherwise, you'll go out of business. So, do well by doing good and all of that. But how much money is too much money? This is an important line to figure out because that's where you are doing well but you've stopped doing good—you've tipped into financial toxicity. You are taking more than the good you are doing, and the net positive becomes a net negative. But complicating fact of current life, it's becoming increasingly obvious that in order to stand up a practice that can take advantage of value-based care payments—payments where primary care docs mainly at this time can get paid more and likely more fairly to care for patients well—you need a lot of infrastructure. You need data, you need tech, you need a team. Translation: You need money, maybe a lot of money, to invest in all of this. And let me ask you this: Who has a lot of money in this country? Here's the point of everything I just said: These are the external realities that hit anyone trying to do right by patients from every direction. But on the other hand (or maybe different fingers on the same hand), as Amy Scanlan, MD, says in this healthcare podcast, physicians are the backbone of this system. Dr. Scanlan talks in the interview today about the opportunity, and maybe the responsibility, that physicians have here for patients; but also the Eric Reinhart article comes up again about rampant physician moral injury (unpaywalled link with my compliments). Right now might be a great time to read something from Denver Sallee, MD. He wrote to me the other day. He wrote, “Like many physicians, I did not have much understanding of the business side of medicine, as I mistakenly thought as long as I helped take great care of patients that I was doing my job. More recently, it became apparent to me that by ceding the management of medicine to nonclinical administrators and to companies interested primarily in value extraction for the benefit of shareholders that I needed more education in order to truly help patients.” Today as aforementioned, I'm talking with Amy Scanlan, MD, who is chief medical officer of the clinically integrated network (CIN) that is the new joint venture between Intermountain Health and UCHealth in Colorado. We talk about what it's like to be in the kind of messy middle of transformation to integrated care in a clinically integrated network, trying to figure out how to help physician practices and the CIN itself navigate the external environment in a way that empowers different kinds of practices at different points in their transformation journey that empowers physicians to be in charge, and considering clinical and financial outcomes (ie, the business of healthcare). Dr. Scanlan brings up four main factors to consider when plotting strategy from here to there: 1. Give practices the tools that they need to succeed—not what you think they need but what you've discerned they actually need because you've listened to them. 2. Many times, these tools will consist of some combination of data, tech, and also offering the team behind the scenes to help doctors and other clinicians help patients through what Dr. Scanlan calls the “in-between spaces”—the times between appointments. 3. Medical culture really has to change, and in two ways: doctors learning how to be part of and/or leading functional teams and building functional teams. Because there are teams, and then there are teams. Well-functioning teams can produce great results. Nonfunctioning teams, however, are, as Dr. Scanlan puts it, just a series of handoffs. And don't forget, handoffs are the most dangerous times for patients. The DNA of team-based care—real team-based care—for better or worse, are the relationships between team members, between physicians who work together, between doctors and patients, between clinicians and clinicians. So, fostering relationships, creating opportunities to collaborate and talk, is not to be underestimated. How do you re-create the doctors' lounge in 2023? 4. Getting out from underneath the long shadow of fee-for-service incentives, specifically the paradigm that only patients who get mindshare are the ones in the exam room. Value-based care, integrated care is as much contemplating the patients who don't show up as the ones who do. This is a really big mind shift, much bigger than many realize.   You can learn more by reaching out to Dr. Scanlan on LinkedIn.     Amy Scanlan, MD, serves as chief medical officer for the new joint venture CIN between UCHealth and Intermountain Health—a physician-led, clinically integrated network of more than 700 primary care providers from UCHealth, Intermountain Health Peaks Region, the University of Colorado School of Medicine, and multiple independent practices along the Front Range. Dr. Scanlan trained as a family practice physician and has continued to practice for the past 25 years. She has worked as a physician-owner in a small independent practice and has held multiple leadership positions as part of large health systems. She has served on numerous health system committees spanning quality, innovation, recruitment, and credentialing. She is very familiar with value-based care models, having been part of an accountable care organization (ACO) practice for the past 15 years, as well as participating on an ACO Practice Performance and Standards Committee and serving on a local ACO board. She received a bachelor's degree with honors from Wesleyan University in Connecticut. She obtained her medical degree from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, where she received the Kiwala Award for Research in Family Medicine. Her residency was completed at St. Anthony's Family Medicine Residency program in Denver. She is currently board certified by the American Board of Family Medicine and NCQA (National Committee for Quality Assurance) certified in diabetes.   06:33 How is Dr. Scanlan thinking about the transformation process and the shift to value? 09:14 “It is really trying to think about, how do we help practices get there?” 11:46 “The hard part is the in-between spaces.” 14:10 “Team-based care done badly is really just a series of handoffs.” 15:50 “We have to get to that point where the culture of collaboration is more pervasive.” 19:57 “How do we as healthcare providers step in and solve this problem?” 20:04 Why do providers have a responsibility to step in and try to fix the healthcare system? 20:20 Article (unpaywalled) by Eric Reinhart, MD, PhD. 21:50 Why do physicians need to be accountable for the cost of care as well as outcomes? 23:37 Why does physician burnout give Dr. Scanlan hope? 24:25 What is the solution to changing fee-for-service incentives? 25:42 What are some of the challenges facing changing incentives? 27:14 Why is data so important? 28:53 EP393 with David Muhlestein, PhD, JD. 30:11 “It's important to understand that we are in the middle of this change.” 31:16 Dr. Scanlan's advice for those trying to stand up a CIN.   You can learn more by reaching out to Dr. Scanlan on LinkedIn.   Amy Scanlan, MD, of @uchealth discusses real-world #clinicalintegration on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast   Recent past interviews: Click a guest's name for their latest RHV episode!

This week is the April edition of Incentives & Instincts, a recurring series in which Justin speaks with economist and friend Bryce Ward about some of the broader challenges facing our society. Today, the two dig into the perplexing and inconvenient reality that Americans appear to be dying much younger than our counterparts in other advanced economies. Bryce brings up one article that shows Americans are dying more frequently at younger ages. Justin asks what some of the reasons behind that phenomenon are, and the two go through several of those possibilities. Tune in next month for part two of this conversation.

75% of all electricity consumption occurs in buildings. With a goal to fully electrify our building energy use, more buildings will be moving their heating, cooking, and operations systems from natural gas, propane, diesel, and fuel oil to grid electricity. Pair this with home and business electric vehicle charging and the obvious result is that the amount of electricity use in buildings is set to dramatically increase.   If we reduce building energy use by 20% in both the commercial and industrial sectors today, we could save more than $80 billion annually on utility bills. And according to the US Dept. of Energy Building Technologies Office, the on-site deployment of solar, battery, and energy management technologies to flex electricity demand to better meet supply will lead to between $100 and $200 billion in electricity cost savings. This is a significant saving when considering that the National Renewable Energy Lab Electrification Futures Study estimates that full electrification would increase US electricity system costs by at least $450 billion.   In short, if we want to keep energy bills down and temper electricity price increases, building energy efficiency and demand flexibility is a critical first step to electrification.

In order to hit targets on sustainability issues such as emissions, waste and ethical work conditions, companies must work with suppliers to implement changes on the ground. Asking suppliers to shift behaviour and protocol can be challenging, and so incentives are often needed. As part of the theme for Earth Day 2023 to “Invest in Our Planet”, this special webinar had panellists share the different types of incentives and approaches that encourage suppliers to implement sustainable changes in farms and factories. They gave proven examples of incentives that have worked, whilst discussing: The potential challenges and pitfalls of communicating with supply chain workers around new sustainability initiatives Best practice for approaching discussions with suppliers to drive progress in factories and farms How to work with suppliers to build sustainable policies and initiatives that work for the business, the supplier, and workers on the ground The panel: Kate Larsen, director ESG, human rights, sustainability in supply chains advisory, SupplyESChange Mr Sathya Raghu V Mokkapati, co-founder and president, Kheyti Saif Khan, technical director, Footprints This webinar was moderated by Ian Welsh, publishing director, Innovation Forum.

Congressional Hearings are usually boring. They are like scripted shows with members looking to deliver messages, and representatives of the Administration just trying to make it out without making a large gaffe. However, sometimes there are intelligent exchanges that deserve not only our attention, but also a more in depth exploration. This is one of those exchanges.

When it comes to understanding human behavior, Jason has learned the value of understanding incentives. Employees and managers almost always act based on how they're compensated, even if it's not aligned perfectly with the best interests of a company or its owners. Yet, we as investors seem to make the mistake of not having our personal incentives aligned with our long-term financial goals. In this episode, Jason and Jeff discuss this complex topic and offer some examples of incentives versus goals to help you strengthen your own investing toolbox.  Companies mentioned: TSLA We would love feedback on the show.

Antoine Dukes is a natural born salesman. And when he started working for a for-profit welfare company, he figured it was a good way to put his skills to work helping needy Americans find jobs that would get them back on their feet. But when he tried to avoid sending people to minimum wage jobs, something happened that made him realize that these welfare companies are rewarded with taxpayer dollars for getting welfare recipients into just about any job, even if the job would not support their family and would leave them still needing government help to make ends meet.  In this episode, host Krissy Cark sheds light on this opaque business model — and has a frank conversation with the founder of America Works, one of the first for-profit welfare-to-work companies in the country.  Give today to help cover the costs of this rigorous reporting.

Mixed Signals: How Incentives Really Work by Uri Gneezy An informative and entertaining account of how actions send signals that shape behaviors and how to design better incentives for better results in our life, our work, and our world Incentives send powerful signals that aim to influence behavior. But often there is a conflict between what we say and what we do in response to these incentives. The result: mixed signals. Consider the CEO who urges teamwork but designs incentives for individual success, who invites innovation but punishes failure, who emphasizes quality but pays for quantity. Employing real-world scenarios just like this to illustrate this everyday phenomenon, behavioral economist Uri Gneezy explains why incentives often fail and demonstrates how the right incentives can change behavior by aligning with signals for better results. Drawing on behavioral economics, game theory, psychology, and fieldwork, Gneezy outlines how to be incentive smart, designing rewards that are simple and effective. He highlights how the right combination of economic and psychological incentives can encourage people to drive more fuel-efficient cars, be more innovative at work, and even get to the gym. “Incentives send a signal,” Gneezy writes, “and your objective is to make sure this signal is aligned with your goals.”

In today's episode, we're going from Massachusetts to Florida with Jeff Higgins, a seasoned real estate investor, to talk about the impact of incentives, evictions, and extreme weather. As Jeff shares, incentives can have a massive impact on the decisions made by landlords and tenants alike. For example, in Florida, where the eviction process is much easier and quicker, landlords can enforce a 3-day pay or quit policy, while in Massachusetts, the eviction process can be slow and cumbersome, giving tenants more opportunities to delay or stall without penalty. Jeff also discusses the impact of extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, on the real estate market. While it's a common myth that hurricanes don't hit Siesta Key, the reality is that extreme weather can lead to much higher insurance costs and make it harder for property owners to find affordable coverage. In addition to the main topic, we introduce a new segment called ResilientREI Storytime, where we share inspiring stories of real estate investors who have overcome challenges and achieved success. In this episode, Jeff shares two stories, including one about a three-flat property in a bad area that he bought for $64k, did a ton of work on, and eventually sold for $425k, controlling $1.2 million across 11 condos in Florida.

CONQUER SHYNESS

"Living for the weekend," watching the clock tick," work is just a paycheck." These are the mantras of most global workers. With only 21% of employees engaged at work and 33% of employees thriving in their overall well-being, most would say that they don't find their work meaningful, don't think their lives are going well, or don't feel hopeful about their future. According to the 2022 Gallup State of the Global Workplace Study, 60% of people are emotionally detached at work, and 19% are miserable. That's a whopping 79% of your workforce that is disengaged! And the worst part is, disengagement costs you money.   But there is hope! In this latest episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I share my passion for solving this problem and highlight the seven catalysts that leaders must know to combat employee disengagement. If you run a company or have a team, it's crucial to understand and implement these seven catalysts into your culture. 1. Development - Include well-being goals in your development plans, to show your employees that you care about their well-being and are invested in their personal and professional growth. 2. Recognition- Celebrating well-being successes creates a positive culture of support and encouragement. 3. Communication-  Promote open and transparent communication channels that allow your employees to feel heard and valued. 4. Incentives- Create incentives that inspire participation in activities that produce results, such as rewards that will motivate your employees to engage. 5.

It's the only full-spectrum magnesium supplement with 7 unique forms of magnesium that your body can actually use and absorb. When you get all 7 critical forms of magnesium, pretty much every function in your body gets upgraded... from your brain... to your sleep... pain, and inflammation...and less stress. BiOptimizers only offers this discount once a year, so don't miss out. Just go to www.bioptimizers.com/happy and enter code happy10 to get 10% off any order.   I assure you that all BiOptimizers supplements are best in class.

On today's show we are taking a look at a new law in the city of Los Angeles that has been recently amended called SB8.  This new rule states that no new development can take place that demolishes housing whether occupied or vacant unless replacement housing is constructed that maintains equivalent affordable and very affordable units and rents those units to low income households. What are the intended consequences, and what are the non-intended consequences of this new rule? ------------- Host: Victor Menasce email: podcast@victorjm.com

Uri Gneezy is a behavioural economist, a professor at the University of California and an author who's research focuses on human incentives. Incentives encourage humans to do things. But they're not as straight forward as you might think. They often have unintended and disastrous consequences for our personal lives, businesses and societies. Basically, a bad incentive is worse than no incentive at all.  Expect to learn why paying citizens 10p for a rat tail is a bad idea, how fining parents for taking their kids on holiday results in more kids missing school, why the Toyota Prius won because of its strange design, how reframing discounts can rapidly change behaviour, why Peloton's sales went up when they increased the price, why Coke machines have an outdoors thermometer on them and much more...
