Andy Kvesic left the job every lawyer wants to build something the profession had never seen. As CEO of Aprio Legal, he traded a general counsel role at a thriving family office for the harder, riskier work of acquiring a Phoenix law firm and redesigning how professional services actually work. The result is a historic combination: the first time two Alternative Business Structure firms have merged, bringing together a corporate law firm and a national accounting and advisory firm backed by private equity. Attorneys, accountants, wealth planners, and business advisors now serve the same clients under one roof. The idea came from watching entrepreneurs waste time and energy bouncing between disconnected professionals who never coordinated with each other. Arizona's 2021 rule change allowing non-lawyer law firm ownership gave Kvesic the opening to try something different. His merger with Aprio wasn't a calculated exit. It was the recognition that both firms were solving the same problem from opposite ends: Aprio's professionals were constantly referring clients out for legal work, and Kvesic's attorneys were constantly referring clients out for tax and accounting. Neither could fully serve their clients alone. Building the integrated platform also forced a reckoning with how differently law firms and accounting firms run their businesses. After two decades working almost exclusively with other lawyers, Kvesic found Aprio's infrastructure to be a genuine upgrade: multi-year planning, pipeline visibility, real margin analysis. For an industry that largely runs on a cash-in, cash-out model aimed at maximizing year-end partner distributions, the difference is significant. The legal profession is changing whether it wants to or not. The more interesting question Kvesic raises is whether the people inside it will have the courage to lead that change rather than resist it.

"We did this survey with a third-party consulting group who talked to 2,000 brokers.

In this conversation, Dr. Marc Smith shares his journey from hedge fund trading in New York's financial district to building an integrated ketamine psychiatry practice in California. After three years in finance doing trading and sales, Dr. Smith made the bold decision to completely pivot his career toward medicine, driven by a desire for purpose and meaning that his financial career couldn't provide.Dr. Smith's path took him through Columbia University for medical school, followed by psychiatry residency at USC, where he discovered his passion for interventional treatments like TMS and ketamine therapy. His unique perspective, having worked in both profit-maximizing finance and purpose-driven healthcare, provides valuable insights into the challenges of maintaining ethical medical practice in an increasingly commercialized healthcare environment.Dr. Smith's practice, Clear Ketamine + Psychiatry, represents an integrated model where he personally handles psychiatric evaluation, preparation therapy, ketamine treatment administration, and post-treatment integration sessions.What You'll Learn in This Episode· Career transition insights - How Dr. Smith navigated the complete pivot from finance to medicine, including the challenges and rewards of choosing purpose over profit in healthcare· Mental health crisis analysis - Dr. Smith's perspective on factors contributing to rising depression, anxiety, and suicide rates, including social isolation, technology impacts, and healthcare access barriers· Treatment-resistant depression understanding - Why 30% of patients don't respond to traditional antidepressants and how ketamine offers a different mechanism through NMDA receptor antagonism and neuroplasticity induction· Integrated practice model - Dr. Smith's unique approach combining psychiatric evaluation, preparation therapy, ketamine administration, and integration sessions all under one provider rather than outsourcing components· Intentions versus goals framework - How to help patients set internal emotional states they're striving for (intentions) alongside specific, measurable functional outcomes (SMART goals) for comprehensive treatment planning· Ketamine as catalyst concept - Understanding how ketamine works like "jumpstarting a car" to improve mood and motivation, while ongoing therapy and lifestyle changes provide the maintenance needed for sustained improvement· Ethical practice building - Dr. Smith's mission to combat ketamine stigma through evidence-based protocols while addressing concerns about recreational associations and inappropriate use in the field· Private practice autonomy benefits - How owning your own practice allows values-driven decisions that may conflict with profit maximization, contrasting with private equity-driven healthcare models· Business building practical advice - The importance of talking to other practice owners, understanding it's a marathon not a sprint, and knowing your limitations to outsource effectively· Biopsychosocial treatment approach - Addressing biological, psychological, and social elements of mental health through medications, therapy, exercise, sleep, nutrition, social connection, and nature exposureEpisode 58 show notes:00:00:00 - Teaser: Profit vs. Purpose in Healthcare 00:00:35 - Episode Introduction00:02:03 - Dr. Smith's Background: From East Coast to Medicine 00:02:30 - Career Transition: Three Years in Financial Industry 00:04:12 - Discovering Psychiatry Through Clinical Rotations 00:05:32 - Why Psychiatry: Deep Relationships and Human Connection00:08:50 - Tools in the Toolbox: TMS, Ketamine, and Treatment Options 00:09:30 - The Leap: Stepping Away from Finance Success 00:11:17 - The Marble Metaphor: Chiseling Away What We Aren't 00:12:46 - Self-Actualization and Gratitude in Medicine 00:14:01 - USC Residency and Academic Reception of Ketamine 00:16:54 - Evidence-Based Medicine and the Slow Pace of Change 00:19:17 - Mental Health Crisis: Social Isolation and Technology 00:22:50 - The Invisible Nature of Mental Health Challenges 00:25:28 - Private Equity vs. Patient Care: The Business Tension 00:30:18 - Private Practice Autonomy and Values-Based Decisions 00:32:15 - Clear Ketamine + Psychiatry: The Integrated Model 00:36:11 - Treatment Protocol: Six Sessions with Therapy Integration 00:37:56 - Ketamine as Jumpstart: The Car Analogy 00:42:00 - Intentions vs. Goals: Internal States and SMART Outcomes 00:46:30 - Ethical Standards and Combating Ketamine Stigma 00:50:15 - Practice Building Advice: Talk to Other Providers 00:52:55 - Rapid Fire Questions: Book Recommendation 00:54:52 - Last Meal 00:55:52 - Pickleball Obsession and the Philosophy of the Game 00:56:50 - Time Travel00:58:46 - Alternative Career01:00:04 - Advice to 20-Year-Old Self01:01:53 - Contact Information and Practice Details 01:03:03 - Final Thoughts: Gratitude and Evidence-Based Care 01:04:20 - Ending and ResourcesThanks for listeningConnect with Dr. Marc Smith at:Website: https://www.clearketapsych.comInstagram: @clearketapsych, @marcsmithmdLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/marcsmithmdGoogle Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/GCHVy8q183c7WvfLA

#252Have you ever wondered whether your tests, quizzes or assessments truly measure what your students can do with the language, or are they just looking at what students can memorize or explain about the language? In this episode we're diving into Integrated Performance Assessments, or IPAs, an effective way to assess how students are actually able to use the grammar, vocabulary and cultural understanding. An IPA assesses how students engage with the language through the interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational modes. If you've been working toward proficiency-based instruction and looking for assessments that align with those goals, this episode will help you with that.Topics in this Episode: Many teachers are moving toward proficiency-based instruction, but assessment often remains disconnected from communication goals.If our goal is communication, then assessment should provide opportunities for students to communicate.What is an Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA)? IPAs assess students through the three modes of communication: Interpretive, Interpersonal, PresentationalThe three tasks are connected rather than separate activities.Students move through a sequence that mirrors real-world communication: Receive information, Discuss information, Share informationAn IPA focuses on what students can do with language rather than how many grammar rules they can identify.Ready For Tomorrow Quick Win Course: Integrated Performance Assessments.A Few Ways We Can Work Together:Ready For Tomorrow Quick Win PD for Individual TeachersOn-Site or Virtual Workshops for Language DepartmentsSelf-Paced Program for For Language DepartmentsConnect With Me & The World Language Classroom Community:Website: wlclassrom.comInstagram: @wlclassroomFacebook Group: World Language ClassroomFacebook: /wlclassroomLinkedIn: Joshua CabralBluesky: /wlclassroom.bsky.sociaX (Twitter): @wlclassroomThreads: @wlclassroomSend me a text and let me know your thoughts on this episode or the podcast.

"Many of my clients feel unheard. My mission is to make sure they aren't." The Lawyer Stories Podcast Episode 270 features Dayle Lopez, Founder of DLopez Law Firm in Miami, Florida. Dayle's journey began in Cuba before immigrating to the United States at 15 years old. Like many immigrant families, she quickly went to work, taking a job at Jamba Juice to help support her household while learning to navigate a new country and culture. Those early experiences shaped the resilience, discipline, and purpose that continue to drive her today. After earning her law degree, studying international law abroad, and further developing her advocacy skills through Harvard's Program on Negotiation, Dayle built DLopez Law Firm to serve those who often feel overlooked by the legal system. Today, her firm focuses on personal injury law and is deeply rooted in the Hispanic and immigrant communities of South Florida. With a bilingual team and a client-centered approach, Dayle and her firm are committed to providing compassionate representation and fighting for those who need a voice. This is a conversation about perseverance, purpose, entrepreneurship, and using your own journey to help others navigate theirs. This episode is also sponsored by Grow or Die with John Morgan. For the first and only time, John Morgan will take the stage in Las Vegas to lay out how he achieved explosive, long-term dominance and legacy. No fluff. No theory. No motivational garbage.

From anxiety and burnout to nervous-system regulation and leadership clarity, this conversation dives deep into how people can perform at a high level without losing themselves in the process. #Leadership #MentalWellness #Burnout #Mindset #HumanPerformance #Wellness Luxury Private Concierge Wellness | KNKO
Mental health and physical health are deeply connected—but too often, care for each exists in separate systems. In this conversation, we connect with Kristin MacGregor, National Clinical Director for Integrated Behavioral Health at LifeStance, to explore how changing that dynamic can create a better experience for patients and providers alike. We unpack what integrated behavioral health (IBH) and the collaborative care model really mean—and why more healthcare systems are embracing this connected approach to care. Kristin shares how behavioral health providers, primary care clinicians, and psychiatric consultants work as one coordinated team, making it easier for patients to access support for concerns like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and everyday life stressors—often within the medical settings they already know and trust.

Stephanie Broussard, Director of Social Work at Thyme Care, describes a model of interdisciplinary social support for cancer patients to increase access to medical services and address social, emotional, and financial challenges. Integrated services target family dynamics, social determinants of health, and building trust to drive better patient outcomes. As cancer increasingly becomes a chronic condition, there is a growing need to support the management of long-term physical and emotional effects and use technology to increase efficiency and support the Thyme Care human-focused approach. Stephanie explains, "Thyme Care is really designed to try to integrate and increase access for those navigating cancers. So we believe that in order to serve people really well, you don't take things away, you actually add things. If we can increase access and increase the ability for patients to navigate the health system, then we're able to better navigate their utilization. So we try to increase access through access to an interdisciplinary team. We have nurse practitioners, nurses, even oncologists and primary care physicians on our team, social workers, and lay people who help us make sure that patients can get what they need at the right time. And so it's really about giving patients access to the right services at the right time to improve their outcomes." "We think about how their cancer impacts every facet of their life. And so, we often talk a lot about the financial toxicity of cancer, but social issues that were affecting folks don't just stop because cancer happened. Oftentimes, it even exacerbates those things. So think about family dynamics, think about social determinants of health, like the cost of medications and access, but also all the other things that can be impacted by cancer." #ThymeCare #ValueBasedCare #SocialWorkMonth #OncologySocialWork #MentalHealthMatters #CaregiverSupport #PatientExperience #HealthEquity #OncologyCare #ValueBasedCare #CareCoordination #SocialDeterminantsOfHealth #SDoH #CancerSurvivorship #Caregivers #NurseNavigation #PalliativeCare thymecare.com Download the transcript here

What if the exhaustion, tension, overthinking, digestive symptoms, inflammation, sleep disruption, and constant feeling of being "on" are not personality flaws… …but nervous system adaptations? In this episode of the EASE OS™ Podcast, Dr. Connie Cheung explores the physiology of chronic sympathetic dominance — the state many people unknowingly live in when the body remains organized around protection long after stress has become normalized. This episode unpacks how chronic stress physiology affects: ➣ nervous system regulation ➣ gut health and digestion ➣ sleep quality ➣ inflammation ➣ hormonal balance ➣ muscle tension and postural patterns ➣ emotional resilience ➣ breathing mechanics ➣ behavior and identity patterns Through real clinical stories, Dr. Connie explains why many people are "doing everything right" — yoga, healthy eating, supplements, hormone therapy, exercise — yet still feel exhausted, inflamed, disconnected from their body, or unable to fully recover. You'll hear: ➣ Why the nervous system adapts to repeated stress conditions ➣ How chronic sympathetic activation becomes normalized ➣ Why hypervigilance and overthinking can feel like personality ➣ The connection between stress physiology and digestive dysfunction ➣ Why many symptoms make more sense when viewed through an integrated systems lens ➣ How chronic bracing patterns affect posture, movement, breathing, and pain ➣ Why healing often feels fragmented in modern healthcare ➣ The relationship between the autonomic nervous system regulation and long-term healing ➣ How yoga can become either regulation… or another expression of sympathetic dominance ➣ Why awareness changes the relationship we have with symptoms Dr. Connie also shares: ➣ a clinical case involving chronic low back pain during yoga and hidden nervous system overload ➣ a patient with plantar fasciitis whose symptoms reflected broader stress physiology and chronic tension patterns ➣ How the body organizes around protection when stress becomes a baseline state This episode is part of the EASE OS™ framework: Enteric · Autonomic · Somatic · Empowered Psychology The Autonomic pillar focuses on nervous system regulation, sympathetic dominance, stress adaptation, and restoring physiological safety so the body can begin moving from survival physiology into recovery physiology. In This Episode: ➣ Chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation ➣ Sympathetic vs parasympathetic nervous system ➣ Fight-or-flight physiology ➣ Stress hormones and cortisol ➣ Functional medicine perspective on chronic stress ➣ Somatic holding patterns and muscle guarding ➣ Mind-body connection and chronic tension ➣ Gut-brain axis and autonomic regulation ➣ Breathwork for nervous system regulation ➣ Yoga and nervous system awareness ➣ Hypervigilance and chronic anticipation ➣ Fatigue, inflammation, digestion, and stress physiology ➣ Integrated systems interpretation in healing Practical Exercise From This Episode 5-5-5-5 Box Breathing Use before meals, stressful conversations, or sleep. ➣ Inhale through the nose for 5 counts ➣ Hold for 5 counts ➣ Exhale slowly for 5 counts ➣ Hold empty for 5 counts ➣ Repeat 3 rounds This breathing practice helps stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system and supports vagal regulation. Key Takeaways ➣ The body adapts to repeated conditions ➣ Chronic stress physiology often becomes normalized ➣ Repeated states can eventually become traits ➣ Symptoms are often adaptive information, not personal failure ➣ The nervous system influences digestion, hormones, inflammation, sleep, movement, and emotional regulation ➣ Healing requires more than isolated protocols — the organism must be understood as an integrated system Resources & Links

American medicine is changing, transformed by breakthroughs in gene therapies, innovative approaches to behavioral health, the advent of retail medicine and artificial intelligence. Dr. Marschall Runge calls this “the great health care disruption,” but says that understanding what is happening is a way to make these changes work for everyone while lowering costs and barriers to care.
In this episode, we explore the growing impact of integrated behavioral healthcare and why embedding mental health counseling into primary care settings leads to better outcomes for clients, providers, and health systems.
