The Healthtech Marketing Podcast presented by HIMSS and healthlaunchpad

In this milestone 100th episode of The HealthTech Marketing Show, I reflect on the journey to reach this point and share something we've never done before—opening up about what we've been building at Health Launchpad with AI. The first episode launched almost four years ago with my friend Ben Person, and while there have been challenging moments where I considered stopping, the encouragement from listeners has made it all worthwhile. I'm grateful to HIMSS for their early support and to Healthcare Now for recently joining their syndication network, which has significantly boosted our reach.Today's episode is special because I'm pulling back the curtain on Health Launchpad's AI transformation. Drawing from our Healthech Marketing Network survey, we discovered that while 98% of healthtech marketing teams use AI, only 7% have a strategic roadmap for it. About six months ago, we realized we were in the same boat, using AI tactically without a clear strategy. Since then, we've developed a comprehensive approach, which I dive into in this episode.I also share what I learned at MAICON. This annual AI conference for marketers was mind-blowing. It was both the most exciting event I have been to and the most terrifying.We are on a mission to use AI to help our clients grow their business. I'm incredibly proud of how our team has embraced this transformation, and I want to extend an offer to anyone wrestling with their AI strategy. Book a call with me to discuss your journey. No sales pitch, just a conversation to share ideas and perhaps provide some guidance as you navigate this exciting but challenging landscape.Key Topics Covered"(00:00:00)" Introduction to Episode 100"(00:01:00)" The Healthech Marketing Show Origin Story"(00:04:00)" Health Launchpad's AI Announcement"(00:05:00)" Healthtech Marketing Network AI Survey Results"(00:07:00)" AI as Career Opportunity and Threat"(00:09:00)" The Disruption Wave and Changing Buyer Behavior"(00:10:00)" Our Three-Part AI Strategy Framework"(00:12:00)" Andrew Robertson on AI and Creativity"(00:13:00)" Making Work Easier with AI"(00:14:00)" Making Output Better - Beyond Average Information"(00:16:00)" Introducing the HLP BrAIn"(00:18:00)" Benchmarking AI-Enhanced Expertise"(00:20:00)" Custom GPTs and AI Agents"(00:22:00)" New AI Service Offerings"(00:23:00)" Team Transformation and Looking AheadReferences:Total Customer Growth BookAdweek's article on why AI will unleash creative talentPodcast on AI-First Marketing at ScaleAI Generated Commercial by PJ AceIf you are interested in discussing this or any other topic, let's have a chat.  Reach out to me directly to schedule a no-obligation discussion.

In this episode of Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States, host Bela Musits continues his journey with fellow sailor Mike Malekoff aboard Mike's Hunter 44 Deck Salon. Recorded during their relocation trip from Brunswick, Georgia to Burlington, Vermont, this installment covers their passage from Hop-O-Nose Marina in Catskill, New York, to Schuyler Yacht Basin on the Hudson River.Bela begins by returning to the boat after two weeks away, delayed both by a family wedding and a lock closure that left them waiting in Catskill. During that time, Mike held down the fort, provisioning the boat and calling daily for updates on when the locks would reopen. Their reunion kicks off with stories of patience, planning, and keeping a cruising sailboat ready for the next leg of the voyage.With the locks finally open, Bela and Mike prepare to head north. Along the way, they share the practical realities of traveling the Hudson River by sailboat, where timing, tides, and locks all play a role. They discuss their departure from Hop-O-Nose, navigating under bridges, and the shifting challenges that come with moving inland toward Lake Champlain.As the Hunter 44 Deck Salon makes her way upriver, the sailors reflect on both the beauty and the logistics of this leg. They talk about the differences between coastal passages and inland waterways—contrasting offshore freedom with the precise planning needed to transit locks, deal with low bridges, and coordinate with marinas like Schuyler Yacht Basin.The episode also highlights the camaraderie and humor that come with long-distance cruising. Bela and Mike joke about the quirks of waiting in Catskill, provisioning a boat for weeks at a time, and managing life aboard when plans change unexpectedly. For listeners curious about the real-world experience of cruising up the Hudson River, their stories bring the journey to life.This conversation isn't just about travel; it's about the mindset of sailors tackling an extended relocation voyage. From patience during delays to the satisfaction of finally getting underway again, Bela and Mike's discussion captures the ebb and flow of cruising life. Listeners will hear what it's like to adapt plans, keep a boat shipshape during downtime, and re-energize when the next opportunity to sail arrives.Key Topics Covered in This Episode:Returning to the boat after delays and a two-week pause.The impact of lock closures on cruising schedules.Provisioning and maintaining a Hunter 44 Deck Salon during extended waits.Departing Hop-O-Nose Marina and heading north on the Hudson River.Strategies for handling locks, bridges, and tides on inland waterways.The transition from offshore passages to river cruising.Reflections on flexibility, patience, and the humor of sailing life.For sailors planning a similar journey—from Catskill to Schuyler Yacht Basin, and eventually into the Champlain Canal—this episode provides both inspiration and practical insights.

In this inspiring episode of Finding Financial Freedom, host Dr. Disha Spath sits down with Dr. Elaine Stageberg, co-owner and principal of Black Swan Real Estate, to explore how she turned one rental property into a half-billion-dollar real estate empire—all while raising five kids and maintaining a career in psychiatry. Dr. Elaine's journey from a difficult childhood marked by financial instability to becoming a leading real estate investor is a testament to resilience, intention, and the power of mindset. Together with her husband, she built Black Swan Real Estate, a diversified portfolio with over 2,000 doors and nearly $500 million in assets. Tune in as Dr. Elaine shares how she overcame scarcity thinking, leaned into fear, and built financial freedom through strategic investing. Key Topics Covered: 1. Overcoming Adversity and Finding Purpose Elaine's early life shaped by financial scarcity and addiction in her family. The role of love and stability in the midst of chaos—and how it formed her values today. 2. From Medicine to Mindset Why Elaine chose psychiatry and how her background influenced her specialty. The importance of paying it forward and mentoring others. 3. The Accidental Landlord Story How an underwater mortgage led Elaine and Nick to rent out their first home. What she learned about property management, cash flow, and providing housing. Discovering the joy and purpose of real estate beyond spreadsheets. 4. Building Black Swan Real Estate Their first intentional investment: turning a vacant, foreclosed home into a thriving rental. The philosophy behind building value and creating “sacred work” through housing. 5. Mindset, Marriage, and Money Why Elaine says there's never a “perfect time” to start investing—only the courage to begin. How facing fear and uncertainty became their superpower for growth. 6. Introducing the Secure Freedom Fund How investors can partner with Black Swan Real Estate through the Secure Freedom Fund. Earn a 10% fixed rate of return through institutional-quality real estate investments. Listener Takeaways: Lean into fear—growth happens outside your comfort zone.

There was a sound issues with the original, it has now been fixed.In this episode of Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States, host Bela Musits continues his sailing journey with fellow sailor and boat owner Mike Malekoff aboard Mike's Hunter 44 Deck Salon. Recorded during their trip from Brunswick, Georgia to Burlington, Vermont, this conversation captures the unique challenges and experiences of sailing the Hudson River and preparing for entry into Lake Champlain.Their stop at Hop-O-Nose Marina in Catskill, New York sets the stage for one of the most important milestones of the voyage—taking down the mast. While Bela jokingly describes the marina as “modern, clean, spit-and-span” with a healthy dose of sarcasm, the real reason for the stop is all business. The marina is known for its crane services, making it one of the few places along the Hudson where cruisers can safely unstep a mast before entering the Erie or Champlain Canal.Mike explains why this is necessary: the bridge clearances to Lake Champlain are very restricted at 17 feet. This leaves sailors and many power boaters no choice but to take the mast down or lower their “air draft”. Bela and Mike talk through this process, sharing insights about preparation, marina logistics, and the sometimes nerve-wracking reality of lowering such a large spar from a cruising sailboat.Listeners get a firsthand account of what it's like to deal with this challenge—how boaters coordinate with marina staff, handle rigging, and secure the mast for safe travel. For those planning their own journeys up the Hudson River or through the Champlain or Erie Canal system, this episode provides valuable perspective and practical tips.Beyond the technical side, Bela and Mike reflect on the journey itself. Sailing from Georgia all the way north has already provided them with countless stories, but entering Catskill represents a turning point. It's a reminder that cruising isn't just about open-water sailing; it's also about adapting to inland waterways, marinas, and infrastructure. The camaraderie between sailors, the quirks of small-town stops, and the satisfaction of tackling each obstacle together all shine through in this conversation.For sailing enthusiasts, especially those curious about the Hudson River, Catskill marinas, mast stepping and unstepping, or cruising toward Lake Champlain, this episode is a must-listen. Bela and Mike's humor and storytelling make the technical aspects approachable, while their real-world experiences highlight the rewards and challenges of long-distance cruising on the East Coast.Whether you're planning your own trip up the Hudson, dreaming of exploring Lake Champlain by sailboat, or just love hearing about the realities of life aboard a Hunter 44 Deck Salon, you'll find both inspiration and practical knowledge here.Key Topics Covered in This Episode:Why sailors must take down their mast before entering the Champlain Canal.The role of Hop-O-Nose Marina in Catskill, NY, for mast services.Insights into bridge clearances and challenges of inland waterways.Tips for preparing your sailboat and working with marina crews.Reflections on the journey from Georgia to Vermont aboard a Hunter 44.Humor, camaraderie, and lessons learned along the Hudson River.Join Bela and Mike as they share another chapter in their adventure sailing and cruising the East Coast.

The Healthtech Marketing Podcast presented by HIMSS and healthlaunchpad

This may be my favorite ever episode. And it's a doozy! I sat down with Nick Panayi, CMO of Inovalon, to explore one of the most comprehensive AI adoption stories I've encountered in healthcare technology marketing. Nick leads a 95-person marketing team at this 2,000-employee data and solutions company, and what they've accomplished in just two years is remarkable. According to our recent survey of the HealthTech Marketing community, only about 7% of companies have an AI strategy roadmap, let alone reach this level of AI integration. This makes Nick's insights particularly valuable for the rest of us on this journey.What impressed me most was how they've made AI accessible across their entire marketing organization. They've created a unified platform called Amaru AI that serves as a no-code environment where marketers can build workflows without technical expertise. By integrating AI tools directly into their existing Monday.com workflow system, they've met their team where they already work rather than forcing adoption of new platforms. Nick also shared fascinating use cases, including AI-powered voiceovers with Eleven Labs, conversational AI prospecting with Synthflow that makes outbound calls, and using Google's Notebook LLM to transform dense white papers into engaging podcast content. Key Topics Covered:"(00:00:00)" Introduction and Nick's Background"(00:03:00)" Building an AI-First Marketing Team"(00:07:00)" Overcoming Barriers - Legal and Team Concerns"(00:10:00)" The AI Roadmap and Tiger Team Approach"(00:12:00)" Scaling AI Adoption Across the Organization"(00:14:00)" Content Creation with AI Scoring"(00:18:00)" Automated Website Tagging and Personalization"(00:22:00)" Agentic AI for Paid Search Advertising"(00:30:00)" Amaru AI Platform Architecture"(00:35:00)" AI Integration in Monday.com Workflows"(00:36:00)" Image Generation and Remix Tools"(00:37:00)" Tega AI for Prospecting and Lead Generation"(00:40:00)" Synthflow - Conversational AI Calling"(00:45:00)" ROI and Measurement Approaches"(00:49:00)" AI Voiceovers and Video Production"(00:51:00)" AI Podcasting with Google Notebook LLM"(00:53:00)" Advice for Agencies and ConsultantsIn this post, I lay out a strategic roadmap that emulates what Nick and team have achieved at Inovalon.If you are interested in discussing this or any other topic, let's have a chat.  Reach out to me directly to schedule a no-obligation discussion.

From sensing ghosts on nature trails to channeling messages from ancestors during healing sessions, Lesley shares how she learned to trust her gifts and embrace the unseen realms that most people fear—or deny entirely.Lesley's story is as haunting as it is inspiring. Once confined to the structured world of naturopathic medicine, she broke free to create a soul-led healing practice centered on intuition, energy, and emotional release.

Speaking with Spirits: Lesley recounts her chilling encounter with a spirit named James during a solo forest walk and how she navigates communication with “the other side” in her everyday life. 2. From Naturopathic Doctor to Medium: Lesley shares her controversial decision to leave the regulated world of medicine and embrace her intuitive calling—despite fears of judgment from her peers. 3. Past Life Shadows: The past life vision that revealed Lesley as a medieval healer punished for her craft—and how it influenced her tendency to dim her light until she fully stepped into her power. 4. Emotional Programming and Ancestral Healing: How fear, trauma, and familial patterns can block intuitive gifts—and how healing your “inner channel” can change everything. 5. Radical Self-Worth and Soul-Led Success: Lesley's journey to redefine success by prioritizing intuition, authenticity, and freedom, rejecting the pressure to conform to patriarchal business norms. 6. The Magic of Light Weaving: Lesley's unique practice of manipulating energy to clear blocks and realign clients' fields—proof that magic doesn't always make sense to the logical mind.Connect with Lesley Turner: • Website: lesleyturner.ca • Instagram: @the.emotional.archeologistLesley's Offerings: • 1:1 SEER Sessions: Holistic healing sessions blending bodywork, energy medicine, and intuitive guidance. • Mini SEER Readings: Concise email readings with intuitive insights and a card pull. • 1111 Club Membership: Monthly channeled messages, intuitive exercises, and guided rituals. • The Intuitive Mama Journal: Available on Amazon for those who want to strengthen their intuitive practice.Lesley's journey into mediumship, ghosts, and energetic healing reminds us that embracing the unseen can lead to profound healing and liberation.

In this episode, I speak with Susan Roth, Senior Director of Marketing at Netrality Data Centers, about her remarkable journey from marketing leader to AI agent builder. Susan shared how she went from being uncertain about AI's role in marketing to becoming a pioneer in building sophisticated AI workflows and agents, while managing a small marketing team and investing significant personal time and resources into her education.What makes Susan's story particularly compelling for healthcare technology marketers is her practical approach to implementation. She's not just theorizing, she's actively using it to transform how a small marketing team operates. From editing video in minutes instead of hours to creating automated research workflows that cost just $1.50 per execution, Susan demonstrates how AI agents can enable small teams to compete at scale. She also offers a pragmatic yet optimistic view of AI's impact on the workforce, emphasizing that organizations will need people to manage and maintain these systems, and that the key is learning to work alongside AI rather than being replaced by it.For marketing leaders feeling overwhelmed by AI's rapid evolution, Susan's advice is straightforward: start small with low-risk use cases, embrace discomfort as part of the learning process, and remember that AI literacy is an ongoing journey rather than a destination. Her most important message is to "do it scared"—because waiting on the sidelines is no longer an option for marketers who want to remain competitive.Key Topics Covered[00:00:00] - Introduction[00:02:00] - Discovering AI as a Human Evolution Story[00:06:00] - Learning Resources: Marketing Profs B2B Forum[00:09:00] - Shifting Behavior: From Search Engine to Strategic Partner[00:10:00] - Introduction to Agentic Workflows[00:12:00] - The AI Build Lab: Four-Week Foundations Course[00:16:00] - The Builder Mindset for Marketers[00:18:00] - Key Tools: Notion, Typing Mind, and Cassidy[00:20:00] - Daily AI Applications in Marketing Work[00:21:00] - Use Cases: Research, Content Creation, and Video Production[00:25:00] - Building 50 Agents: From Research to Email[00:28:00] - The Cipher Agent: Automated Sales Research Workflow[00:31:00] - AI Adoption: Strategic Use vs. Individual Tools[00:33:00] - The Future of Marketing Teams: Humans and Agents Working Together[00:35:00] - The "Do More with Less" Question and Workforce Implications[00:37:00] - The Importance of Hiring and Training Young People[00:39:00] - Advice for Getting Started: Pick One Small Use Case[00:40:00] - Learning to Prompt and Using AI to Teach AI[00:41:00] - The Ongoing Journey: Being Comfortable with Being UncomfortableIf you are interested in discussing this or any other topic, let's have a chat.  Reach out to me directly to schedule a no-obligation discussion.

Big changes are here for student loans—and if you're a doctor, student, or high-debt professional, this episode could save you thousands. Dr. Disha Spath sits down with Aaron Smith, co-founder of Savi and longtime student loan policy advocate, to break down the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and what it really means for your financial future. Aaron has worked with the Department of Education, Congress, and the White House—and he's carried student debt himself. Together, he and Dr. Disha unravel the brand-new Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP), the elimination of Grad PLUS loans, and how these reforms reshape repayment strategies, PSLF, and refinancing decisions. Key Topics Covered: 1. The Big Beautiful Bill, Simplified What's changing in federal student loan repayment. Which repayment plans are gone, and the details behind RAP. 2. RAP vs. Current Plans Why RAP bases payments on gross income. Why locking into an income-driven repayment plan before 2026 could be a smart move. 3. PSLF Stays Strong  The good news: PSLF wasn't touched by the new law. How to avoid errors with employer certification and payment tracking. 4. Goodbye Grad PLUS Loans How cutting Grad PLUS reshapes graduate and medical school financing. What rising reliance on private loans means for lower-income students. 5. Smart Moves for Current Borrowers How to maximize forgiveness and avoid costly mistakes. Critical timelines for choosing your repayment plan. 6. Should You Refinance? When private refinancing could save you money—and when it locks you out of forgiveness forever. What falling interest rates might mean for borrowers in 2025–2026. 7. Employer Support & Advocacy How hospitals, universities, and employers are stepping up with student loan benefits. Why employer advocacy is helping expand PSLF eligibility. Listener Takeaways: Act before July 2026: Enroll in an income-driven plan now to keep your options open. PSLF is safe—but annual employer certification is key to avoiding lost credits. Future grad students beware: With Grad PLUS gone, private loans will change the game. Refinancing is final: weigh lower interest rates against losing federal protections. Stay plugged in—loan policy is shifting fast, and being proactive could save you years of payments.

In this episode, I'm joined by three exceptional members of our Healthtech Marketing Network - Mariana Small, Elena Putilina, and Amy Swanson - who spearheaded our first-ever AI Cohort project. Together, they surveyed over 100 healthtech marketing leaders to understand how our community is actually using AI in their day-to-day work, moving beyond the hype to examine practical applications and real challenges.The research revealed some fascinating insights about where we stand as an industry. While 93% of respondents are using AI in some capacity, very few organizations have successfully integrated AI into their core workflows or developed strategic roadmaps for implementation. Perhaps most telling, almost no one is measuring AI's impact beyond basic productivity metrics, creating a significant gap between leadership's enthusiasm and actual business value demonstration.While leadership teams are generally supportive and see potential value, they're looking for AI to drive demand generation and performance improvements - not just cost savings. However, marketers are struggling with workflow integration, tool selection overwhelm, and demonstrating clear ROI. The community has identified four key areas where they need help: AI-based search optimization, future skills development, creating repeatable workflows, and establishing governance frameworks.This research confirms we're still in the early stages of AI adoption in healthtech marketing, but it also provides a clear roadmap for moving from experimentation to strategic implementation. The findings show that while the enthusiasm is there, we need to focus on building proper foundations.Key Topics Covered"(00:00:00) Introduction""(00:01:00) Meet the AI Cohort Team""(00:05:00) State of AI Usage in Healthtech Marketing""(00:07:00) Most Popular AI Tools and Applications""(00:09:00) The Measurement Challenge""(00:12:00) Management Expectations vs. Reality""(00:16:00) Organizational Bottlenecks and Barriers""(00:18:00) The Need for AI Champions""(00:19:00) What the Community Wants Next""(00:22:00) Governance and Ethics Considerations""(00:23:00) Personas, Sales Enablement, and Search""(00:26:00) Strategic vs. Tactical AI Implementation""(00:30:00) Closing Advice from the Research Team""(00:33:00) Key Takeaways and Webinar Announcement"Join us for an in depth webinar covering the AI Cohort Research on October 8th at 1 pm ET.If you are interested in discussing this or any other topic, let's have a chat.  Reach out to me directly to schedule a no-obligation discussion.

A key focus is the vagus nerve, which connects the brain to every organ system and often gets injured during birth, leading to inflammation, stress overload, and developmental delays.The good news: when the nervous system is restored and regulated through Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic care, kids can unlock their potential.

Most physicians dream of independence but dread the isolation and heavy lift of running a solo practice. What if there were a way to share infrastructure, lighten the load, and still maintain your autonomy? In this episode, Dr. Disha Spath sits down with special interviewer Dr. Dan Sooriabalan and guest Dr. Natalie Gentile to explore how managed services organizations (MSOs) can strengthen direct primary care practices. From sharing cross-coverage to negotiating employer contracts, she shares how she and her partner built a collaborative model that supports physicians while keeping patient care personal.  This conversation is packed with lessons on leadership, partnership, and building something bigger than yourself! Key Topics Covered: 1. The Hidden Price of 401K Breaking down what a managed services organization is and why it matters for direct primary care. 2. From Vaccine Clinics to Direct Primary Care Collaboration How grassroots community efforts during the pandemic sparked the creation of Pittsburgh's first DPC-focused MSO. 3. Shared Pain Points, Shared Solutions Cross-coverage, marketing, vaccine acquisition, mentorship—how an MSO makes solo practice less lonely. 4. The Business Side of Medicine Legal guardrails, employer contracts, and the financial realities of keeping physician ownership at the center. 5. Scaling Without Selling Out Why Natalie and her co-founder built their MSO without private equity—and how they're keeping it mission-driven. 6. Not a One-Size-Fits All Why MSOs aren't one-size-fits-all and what to consider before starting one in your own region. Listener Takeaways: MSOs (Managed Services Organizations) give DPC doctors shared infrastructure—like marketing, cross-coverage, and legal support—without sacrificing independence. Collaboration often starts with small, local initiatives (like community vaccine clinics) before scaling into sustainable models. Legal and financial guardrails are essential to keep physicians—not private equity—at the center of ownership. Quarterly case reviews, mentorship, and camaraderie help prevent isolation and burnout in solo practice.

Hosts: Dr. Ashlee Gethner, LCSW – Child of a Police Officer Jennifer Woosley Saylor, LPCC S – Child of a Police Officer Guest: Marian Cosgrove - Army Veteran and Law Enforcement Officer Episode Overview: In this deeply honest and powerful episode, hosts Jennifer and Ashlee sit down with Marian Cosgrove, an Army veteran, long-serving law enforcement officer, and survivor, to talk about substance abuse among first responders. Marian shares her personal journey from childhood trauma, through years of high-functioning alcoholism, to eventual recovery. She discusses the cultural normalization of substance use in law enforcement, the challenges of recognizing when coping has become addiction, and the importance of self-reflection and support. Marian opens up about the root causes of her substance abuse, the process of self-honesty, hitting rock bottom, and the life-changing role of therapy and 12-step programs in her recovery. The conversation also touches on the impact of unresolved pain from childhood, why coping mechanisms develop, and how compartmentalization can be both protective and harmful. Key Topics Covered The Hidden Prevalence of Substance Use:  Why substance abuse is so common among first responders and how drinking becomes normalized as a way to cope with trauma and emotional suppression. Marian’s Story: From a significant childhood trauma (including her struggle to be heard and believed), to coping with discomfort through alcohol use, Marian details how her journey diverged into high-achievement while battling feelings of being an outsider and never quite fitting in. Where is the Line?: We explore the blurry line between social drinking and alcoholism, and how it’s not always clear. Especially for high-functioning individuals. Self-reflection and honesty are critical. Compartmentalization and Childhood Impact: The conversation emphasizes how early experiences and learned coping tactics can shape adult behaviors, especially in high-stress careers. Functional Alcoholism & Progression: Marian describes how her drinking escalated slowly over decades, how she rationalized her habits, and how the "incremental elevator" of standards slides over time. Reaching Out and Support: After her life spiraled, Marian sought help through a treatment program and AA, acknowledging the difficulty and necessity of vulnerability and community among those with lived experience. Changing Coping Mechanisms: Using the concept of “neuro-bypasses” (habitual pathways in the brain), Marian explains how long-term coping with substances becomes deeply ingrained, and how therapy and group support helped her forge new habits. Impact on Family & Children: The group discusses how first responder stress and substance use can affect families, particularly children who may internalize emotional disconnection at home. Advice for Listeners: Marian encourages anyone struggling with substance abuse to reach out, listen to others’ stories, seek both peer and professional support, and understand that recovery is possible.   If this episode resonated with you or if you have stories to share about living with a first responder, reach out to Ashlee and Jennifer on their social media platforms!   Thank you for tuning in!

Sailing the East

In this episode of Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States, Bela Musits and co-host Mike Wasserman welcome Robert Sweet — a sailor with an unconventional beginning. Robert lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, far from the ocean. Yet his passion for sailing grew steadily, from childhood outings on a 19-foot O'Day Day Sailer to charting trips in the Virgin Islands.Bela and Robert dive into the unique challenges and rewards of becoming a boat owner later in life. Robert shares how he and his wife — both in their 60s — transitioned from occasional day sails on vacation to seriously planning for boat ownership. Their journey began with modest sailing experiences with the occasional skippered day sail. Over decades, the idea of owning a boat evolved from a casual dream into a concrete goal.To prepare, Robert and his wife booked progressively more immersive sailing experiences. They spent a night aboard a sailboat on Puget Sound, completed ASA 101 and 103 courses in San Diego, and tested overnight stays in various harbors. Each step helped fill gaps in their knowledge.The couple planned two key charters to shape their buying decisions: a three-day trip in the Florida Keys aboard a heavy, blue-water center-cockpit boat, and a week in the Virgin Islands on a modern production cruiser — a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey. Their goal was to compare styles, comfort, and performance before committing to a purchase.But as often happens, life intervened. The Florida Keys trip was postponed three times — first by Robert's mountain biking injury, then by his wife's back surgery, and finally by scheduling changes. Eventually, they made the Keys trip in December, followed by the Virgin Islands charter over Easter.During the downtime, Robert immersed himself in research — online articles, boat buying guides, and, crucially, sailing podcasts. He discovered Bela's show and was struck by the host's perspective as an “older buyer.” Unlike the typical narrative of a 30-year-old dropping everything to sail away, Bela's discussions addressed the practical realities of starting serious sailing later in life: ergonomics, safety, injury prevention, and choosing a boat suited to physical comfort.Robert emphasizes that boat accessibility is a real concern. Newer boats often have higher freeboards, making boarding a challenge — especially for shorter crew members. Testing boarding methods became part of their evaluation process when visiting marinas and inspecting potential boats.Robert's story is a reminder that you don't have to grow up near the sea to become a competent and passionate sailor. His methodical approach — gaining experience in varied conditions, learning boat systems, and realistically assessing personal capabilities — offers valuable lessons for anyone considering buying a boat later in life.Key Topics Covered in This Episode:Growing up sailing small boats and rediscovering the sport decades laterTransitioning from day sails to overnight trips and multi-day chartersTaking ASA sailing courses to build confidence and competenceComparing blue-water cruisers vs. modern production boatsOvercoming physical and logistical challenges as older sailorsHow to evaluate boarding ease, cockpit layout, and overall ergonomicsThe importance of testing boats in different sailing locations and conditionsWhether you're an experienced sailor, a dreamer still waiting to cast off, or someone returning to sailing after many years, Robert's journey proves that passion and persistence can bridge the gap between landlocked life and cruising the Bahamas.Connect With Us:If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review—it helps us reach more sailing enthusiasts like you!  Send us your comments and suggestions. sailingtheeast@gmail.comHappy Sailing!Bela and Mike

Most of us assume our 401k plans are free because we never see a bill. But hidden fees—record keeping, custodial, administration, and advisory costs—can silently erode your retirement savings over time. In this episode, Dr. Disha Spath sits down with forensic 401k consultant Paul Sippel to uncover how these costs work, why they're so hard to detect, and practical steps you can take to protect your wealth. If you're a physician, business owner, or employee relying on your 401k for retirement, this conversation is a must-listen! Key Topics Covered: 1. The Hidden Price of 401K Why most employees (and even physicians) don't realize how much retirement fees are costing them 2. Decoding the Fee Structure Custodial, record keeping, administration and advisory charges explained by Paul 3. So Who Really Pays the Bill? How physicians often carry a bigger share of plan costs than their staff. 4. Defining a “reasonable” costs Benchmarks to know if your plan fees are fair or quietly draining your bank account. 5. Beware of the Transparency Trap Why statements rarely show the true expense and how the industry profits from the confusion 6. Proven Strategies to Lower the Fees From negotiating employer-level billing to exploring self-directed brokerage accounts. Listener Takeaways: If you've never seen a bill for your 401k, that doesn't mean it's free—the fees are just hidden. Even “small” percentages in fees can compound into massive retirement losses over time. Physicians are often subsidizing their staff's 401k costs without realizing it. Shifting fees to the employer level creates more fairness and bigger savings potential. You have the tools to uncover and reduce your 401k fees—knowledge equals real money saved.

Drawing on 13 years of experience and over 40 live events, Tina offers practical tips, cautionary tales, and encouragement for anyone thinking about hosting their own event. Key Topics Covered: 1. Running Live Events is a Lot of Work Events are incredibly rewarding, but definitely not the easiest way to build your profile or business. Preparation is everything—good events take months of planning, and unexpected challenges always pop up. The behind-the-scenes workload is mostly invisible to attendees. 2. Energy Management is Crucial Live events are an “energy exchange” between host, team, and audience. Tina shares how her energy and even her cycle can dramatically affect her, and stresses the importance of optimizing rest, nutrition, and recovery time. It's natural to feel depleted after giving it your all—factor in downtime to recharge. 3. Tech Issues Are Inevitable Something will go wrong: AV, microphones, projectors, music... the list goes on. Plan for problems, have backups, and most importantly, stay calm. The audience will take their cue from you. 4. Create a Memorable Experience People remember how you made them feel rather than what you said. Focus on every touchpoint—from music choices to signage, food, comfort, and connection opportunities. Surprise and delight attendees for a lasting impression and growing expectations. 5. Be Realistic About Finances You can lose or make money on events, so start with a clear goal: profit, marketing, or connection. Budget for ALL expenses (hidden costs add up fast) and be strategic about ticket pricing. 6. You Need a Support Team You can't (and shouldn't) do it all yourself. Trusting and empowered team members are essential—especially someone who can calmly handle curveballs on event day. 7. Nothing Beats In-Person Connection Live events foster game-changing breakthroughs, loyalty, and deep community—the magic is in the room. Events turn followers into friends. 8. Design Events That Reflect You Don't copy others; infuse your event with your personality, values, and ideal style. Make decisions (like event timing!) that support your energy and wellbeing. 9. You'll Always Keep Learning Every event teaches you something new. Experience builds confidence and systems—embrace the growth. If hosting a live event is on your dream list, go for it—planned thoughtfully, it's exhausting but “absolutely freaking magic.” Tina encourages listeners to seek support, leverage resources, and, most importantly, focus on creating an unforgettable experience for your community.

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan flies solo (with Road Dog sending in questions) and dives deep into trending business topics, including the unpredictable future of AI, motivating affluent business owners, mastering networking charisma, and the true meaning of adaptability in business. Karl also shares a heartfelt personal story and his “Zen” take on purpose, legacy, and what makes life meaningful—offering practical strategies and inspirational takeaways for coaches and entrepreneurs aiming to thrive in a rapidly changing world. Key Topics Covered 1. AI Uncertainty, Hype, and How to Handle It as a Coach Karl reflects on reactions to his AI predictions and discusses why the loudest experts often know the least. Real-world AI adoption is more delayed and unpredictable than people expect—think self-driving cars and regulatory hurdles. The smarter play: treat AI as “gasoline” (an accelerator), not the “vehicle.” Integrate and adapt, but don't get paralyzed by hype or panic. Educate yourself, but don't let the hype steal your focus—stay grounded in serving clients and growing your practice. 2. The Four Pillars of a Meaningful Life Karl opens up about a personal loss, sharing four foundational elements for a purposeful life: something to love, something to look forward to, something to work on, and something to believe in. He ties these into both personal and coaching success, urging listeners to minimize distractions (entertainment) and maximize presence, connection, and purpose. 3. How to Motivate Wealthy (Non-Money-Motivated) Clients Most people are driven by money, status, relationships, or freedom; successful business owners often shift motivation from money to status or freedom. Karl stresses you must first discover their TRUE motivator—often it's still achievement, status, freedom, or a new challenge. Set clear rules and targets: If the goalpost keeps moving (“I just need 3x more to feel successful”), help them create urgency and satisfaction with a concrete number and timeframe. 4. Charisma and Connection in Networking The #1 secret to converting coaching clients at groups like BNI or Chamber: charisma. Ditch the boring, predictable intros. Karl shares headline techniques for memorable, magnetic first impressions and the power of presence. True connection comes from listening to listen (not to respond), giving others your undivided attention, and being both interesting and interested. Actionable body language and confidence cues, plus tips for delivering genuine, effective compliments. 5. Adaptability Over Strength Businesses (and coaches) that survive and thrive aren't the strongest—they're the most adaptable. Real-world examples: McDonald's pivot to breakfast, Netflix's shift to content creation, Lego's partnerships, and Karl's own pivot to focus on profit (not just revenue) in his Profit Acceleration Software. Adaptability is about integrating feedback fast, pivoting with change, and using new technology (like AI) as an accelerator, not a crutch. Notable Quotes “AI is gasoline, not the vehicle… use it as turbo for your business.” “You want to motivate someone? First, know exactly what motivates them.” “Be interesting and be interested. Give them the gift of your presence.” “It's not the strong who survive—it's the adaptable.” “Four things for a meaningful life: something to love, something to look forward to, something to work on, something to believe in.” Actionable Takeaways Use AI as an Accelerator: Educate yourself on AI tools and opportunities, but don't let the noise overwhelm you—focus on integrating AI to speed up and improve what you already do well. Double Down on Connection: Whether with clients or new contacts, deliver your full attention, make genuine compliments, and be confident in your introductions to stand out in a crowd. Discover and Target Core Motivators: Before you can motivate a client (especially one who thinks they've “arrived”), figure out if they're now seeking status, freedom, or new achievement—then tailor your coaching accordingly. Limit Distraction, Maximize Purpose: Trim entertainment and refocus on your own family, finances, and business. Use the “four pillars of meaning” as a self-check. Set Concrete Goals and Rules (for Yourself and Clients): Instead of always moving the goalpost, agree on a success benchmark and timeframe. Use time as a tool to create urgency and satisfaction. Practice Charisma at Networking Events: Open with confidence—try lines like, “Hi, I'm Karl Bryan. I don't think we've met yet.” Share your three most interesting facts, and always listen to truly understand. Model Adaptability: Stay ready to pivot—learn from feedback, embrace new technologies, and don't get stuck in old ways just because they once worked.

Hosts: Dr. Ashlee Gethner, LCSW – Child of a Police Officer Jennifer Woosley Saylor, LPCC S – Child of a Police Officer Episode Overview: In this candid episode, Ashlee and Jennifer turn the mics on themselves to dive into their personal journeys, career paths, and how being raised in first responder families shapes not only your worldview but your entire emotional toolkit. The duo explores themes of resilience, family systems, vulnerability, and the ongoing impact of childhood experiences into adult life. Key Topics Covered The First Responder Family System: Jennifer and Ashlee reflect on the unique resilience, values, and awareness that come from growing up in a first responder household. They discuss how these environments often foster critical thinking, acute emotional intelligence, but also present real challenges especially around chaos, structure, and sometimes rigid expectations. Career Paths: Ashlee and Jennifer share their motivating moments that led them to helping professions (social work, mental health), including behind-the-scenes stories about family, pivotal college classes, and the “aha” moments that cemented their purpose. Candid talk about how family experiences (including tough love and the need to “prove ourselves”) shape career choices and attitudes. Family Dynamics & Resiliency: A reflection on the double-edged sword of first responder family dynamics. The strong values and community, alongside the strictness and sometimes unintentionally harsh communication styles that get carried from the field into the home. Insights into how these family systems continue to evolve as children grow into adults and re-negotiate relationships with their parents. Vulnerability & Forgiveness: The importance of parents, especially first responders, showing vulnerability and apologizing when things go wrong. How open, honest dialogue between parent and child can build long-term resilience and deep family bonds, even (or especially) after conflict. Parenting Reflections: Both hosts admit the learning curve of parenting, and the hope to do things differently while acknowledging that every generation makes mistakes. The value of simply saying “I’m sorry” as a parent.   If this episode resonated with you or if you have stories to share about living with a first responder, reach out to Ashlee and Jennifer on their social media platforms!   Thank you for tuning in!

In this episode, Paul Merriman shares insights into upcoming events, including his presentation at the Garrett Planning Network Retreat, as well as his reflections on asset allocation, government bond strategies, and the benefits of various portfolios for different life stages. Tune in for a deep dive into how different funds and asset classes perform over the long term, and how to optimize your investment strategy, regardless of age or risk tolerance.Key Topics Covered:1. Long-Term Returns ComparisonPaul compares two small-cap value funds: the Vanguard Small Cap Value Fund (VSIAX) and the DFA Small Cap Value Fund (DFFVX). To find long-term returns for these funds, Paul uses Morningstar's chart function, which allows users to view the maximum (MAX) historical data for any given fund, helping to compare the performance of these funds since their inception 2. Best Asset Allocation for RetireesThe best asset allocation for retirees typically depends on individual factors, such as risk tolerance and life expectancy. Generally, Paul suggests a moderate equity allocation of 40-60% in stocks, with the rest in fixed income, for retirees who have enough saved up to comfortably fund their retirement .3. Asset Allocation for an 83-Year-Old RetireeFor an 83-year-old retiree, Paul discusses a more conservative portfolio with two-thirds in bonds and one-third in equities. This conservative approach, which mirrors the allocation in Vanguard's target-date funds, aligns well with retirees who are less reliant on aggressive growth but still need some equity exposure to combat inflation .4. Why Use Three Government Bond Funds?Paul advocates for a diversified bond strategy that includes TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities), short-term government bonds, and intermediate-term government bonds. This combination offers a balance of safety, growth potential, and reduced volatility compared to using just one bond fund, and provides a more stable return over time.5. How the Worldwide 4 Fund Portfolio WorksThe Worldwide 4 Fund Portfolio is structured with 25% in large-cap blend (U.S), 25% in large-cap value (INTL), 25% in small-cap blend (INTL), and 25% in small-cap value (U.S.), giving you a diversified mix of U.S. and international equities. This approach optimizes for both size and value, ensuring a balanced exposure to market growth, volatility, and global investment opportunities.6. Should a 26-Year-Old Use the 2 Funds for Life Portfolio Yes, a 26-year-old could benefit from the 2 Funds for Life Portfolio, which typically includes the A TARGET DATE FUND and a small-cap value fund. This strategy allows young investors to focus on equity growth, benefiting from the long-term appreciation potential of small-cap value stocks while minimizing risks associated with bonds at an early stage7. Managing the 2 Funds for Life Portfolio with S&P 500 & Small-Cap Value For someone using only the S&P 500 and small-cap value fund, Paul suggests a flexible allocation approach. You might start with a 50/50 split, or adjust according to your risk tolerance. The small-cap value fund tends to be more volatile but offers higher returns over time, while the S&P 500 provides more stability with lower volatility .8. Can There Be a 3 Funds for Life Portfolio?Yes, a 3 Funds for Life portfolio could include the S&P 500, large-cap value, and small-cap value. Paul suggests mixing these three equity asset classes to achieve a balanced portfolio that offers growth potential without overexposing yourself to risk.⁠Resources:1928-2024 Quilt Chart (K1a)⁠⁠Sound Investing Table (H2a)⁠Chris Pedersen's 2 Funds for Life Table: For more detailed insights, visit ⁠Chris Pedersen's 2 Funds for Life table⁠.
