Your marketing engine is generating leads, but how do you know which ones are actually worth handing to sales? That is the question at the heart of this episode, and it is one that gets harder to answer the bigger your funnel gets.My guest is Nick Panayi, a technology marketing veteran who most recently led marketing at Inovalon. If you listened to our episode with Nick last year, you know he has spent his career at the intersection of marketing and AI. This time he is back to walk me through something he built with his partner Chris Marin: an AI-powered lead scoring system that moved his team's MQL-to-opportunity conversion rate from 10 percent to 17 percent in a single quarter. That is a 70 percent improvement in lead conversion.We get into why traditional lead scoring has not really changed since marketing automation platforms first showed up, and why that single-dimensional approach creates false positives and quietly erodes trust between marketing and sales. Nick breaks down how his team combined ten different signals, from individual behavior to ICP alignment to lookalike modeling, into one dynamic score built on a self-improving Bayesian model.We also talk about the part I think matters most for actually getting sales to act: pairing every score with a plain-language, AI-generated synopsis that tells the rep exactly why the lead matters and how to open the conversation.If you are a CMO or VP of marketing trying to get sales to actually believe in your leads, this episode gives you a real blueprint, along with Nick's honest take on what it takes to get started even if you do not have a full AI team in-house.Key Topics Covered"(00:00)" Welcome and introduction"(05:00)" Nick's background "(06:00)" Why traditional lead scoring has not changed in years "(09:00)" The specific problems with lead scoring"(12:00)" Multivariate AI platform scoring"(15:00)" Turning complex scoring data into a single AI generated synopsis "(17:00)" Why recency and lead quality together drive better conversion"(19:00)" How the project actually got built"(21:00)" The result"(23:00)" A real example of a counterintuitive lead score"(25:00)" The value of being able to reconstruct a full deal story"(27:00)" Nick's one piece of advice for a CMO who wants to get started next week"(31:00)" Adam's five key takeaways from the conversationIf 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 the NASM “Peak Physique Podcast,” IFBB Physique Olympian and NASM Master Trainer Andre Adams breaks down the hard truths every athlete and coach needs to hear for lasting success.

In this episode, I sit down with Bruce Brandes, a 35-year healthtech veteran. Together with his longtime friend and business partner Brian Shulman, he is building WhaleHawk, which they call the first agentic sales accelerator built specifically for healthcare.Bruce and I dig into why go-to-market in healthcare is so uniquely hard, why generic prompting in Claude or ChatGPT will not solve it, and what it actually takes to combine AI with deep healthcare-specific data to find the right accounts, at the right time, with a warm path in.Bruce walks through the concept of a true customer profile, which goes well beyond the usual ideal customer profile exercise most of us struggle to nail down. He explains how WhaleHawk analyzes hundreds of clinical, financial, and operational metrics to spot patterns human eyes would never catch, then layers in real-time buying signals and relationship mapping to identify warm introduction paths to decision-makers. He also shares three concrete client examples, including one involving a Becker's conference attendee list, that show exactly how this plays out in practice.If you are a healthtech marketing or sales leader wondering whether AI can genuinely transform your go-to-market approach, or whether you are just creating the appearance of using AI, this episode gives you a clear framework for thinking it through.Key Topics Covered:"(00:00)" Introduction"(08:00)" The WhaleHawk pitch"(10:00)" Defining the "true customer profile""(12:00)" Why WhaleHawk calls itself the first agentic sales accelerator built specifically for healthcare"(13:00)" Why this could not have been built two years ago"(15:00)" The core problems in B2B healthcare go-to-market"(17:00)" Who brings WhaleHawk in, and who is typically in the room"(19:30)" Three use case patterns across startups, growth stage companies, and mature companies"(23:00)" What's next for WhaleHawk"(24:30)" Client example one: Equa Medical"(26:30)" Client example two: Butterfly Network"(28:30)" Client example three: the Becker's conference use case revisited in full"(30:00)" Why this approach differs fundamentally from database driven sales intelligence tools"(31:00)" What changes for clients once they start using WhaleHawk, and how quickly they see ROI"(34:00)" Four reasons off the shelf LLM prompting falls short"(37:00)" Bruce's closing advice for healthtech marketing leaders"(40:00)" Adam's five takeaways from the conversationIf 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.

We welcome our special guest @CaliGalMedia to join our discussion and we have to get to know her! but let me expand onWhat used to be safe havens for outsiders, geeks, and hyper-fixated fans—from comic cons and tabletop groups to niche fandoms and retro gaming scenes—have officially gone mainstream. But with mass popularity comes mass gentrification. In this premiere, we break down what happens when "normies" cross the border into nerd culture, not to appreciate the lore, but to rebrand it, sanitize it, and dictate how it should operate. Is nerd culture expanding for the better, or are the original architects being priced out of their own sanctuary?

As commercial real estate navigates the mid-year of 2026, the primary point of uncertainty has officially shifted from the capital markets to the realities of underlying tenant demand. In this episode, host Michael Bull is joined by Xander Snyder, CRE Economist with First American, to break down their newly published mid-year market forecast. While a flat yield curve and geopolitical tensions in Iran keep interest rate cuts firmly off the table for the remainder of the year, Xander delivers a highly optimistic, contrarian outlook for early-cycle investors. As the industry enters the early innings of a fresh 10-to-20-year expansionary cycle, the playbook has changed: structural valuation adjustments have re-opened sales volumes, and the path to outsized returns now rests entirely on asset-level expense management and protecting the downside. Key Topics Covered in This Episode: The Mid-Year Macro Overview: Xander explains why consumer debt, falling real wages, and targeted corporate AI spend mean demand metrics—rather than Fed interest rate adjustments—will define the second half of 2026. The Illusion of the Labor Market: Squaring a 4.3% headline unemployment rate with a challenging job search environment, and how low employee turnover is impacting commercial space requirements. Yield Curve Realities & The 10-Year Treasury: Navigating a flat, non-inverted yield curve and why historical data implies a 10-year Treasury path heading toward 5% to 6%, even without future Fed rate hikes. Office Bifurcation & Traded Volume: How severe price corrections and near-zero new supply have allowed suburban office underwriting to work, driving a 40% to 50% spike in Q1 sales and refinancing activity. The Defensive Floor Under Retail: Why a 15-year supply freeze paired with resilient consumer spending keeps brick-and-mortar retail exceptionally strong, despite isolated Class B and C mall closures. Multifamily Capital Structure Distresses: Managing the wave of 2021-2022 floating-rate maturities, prohibitively expensive interest rate caps, and why lender takebacks are a story of capital right-sizing rather than structural demand destruction. Industrial Stabilization by Asset Size: Why large-scale logistics spaces face short-term trade policy vacancies while localized industrial footprints under 50,000 square feet maintain tight 3% to 4% vacancy rates. The Rare Property Insurance Expense Win: A deep dive into the temporary 10% to 15% drop in property insurance premiums driven by excess 2025 reinsurance capital, and how operators must capture these line-item savings to boost NOI while rents grow modestly. Whether you are an institutional lender evaluating foreclosure strategies, a private syndicator structuring new performs, or a corporate user tracking localized Southeast growth metrics, this episode offers an elite framework for investing at the baseline of the next real estate cycle.   Connect with Xander: https://www.firstam.com/economics/xander-snyder/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/xander-snyder-econ/   Connect with Michael Bull & The Show: Michael Bull, CCIM Bull Realty, Inc https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelbull/   For more commercial real estate market data, sector forecasts, and video episodes, visit CREshow.com.   America's Commercial Real Estate Show is brought to you by our proud sponsors.

They explore the difference between peacekeeping and peacemaking, offering ministry leaders a working playbook for handling the hard conversations they'd rather avoid. If you've ever felt unprepared for the relational fallout that comes with leadership, this episode will equip and inspire you with ten field-tested principles you can put into practice this week. Key Topics CoveredAct quickly and lead with the benefit of the doubt – the first two rules that change everything.Make it right, not being right – why winning the argument can cost you the relationship.Peacekeeper vs. peacemaker – the difference that defines the kind of leader you'll become. Key Quote"There's a difference between peacekeeping and peacemaking. Peacemakers take initiative, do the hard work, and choose humility." Scripture ReferencesMatthew 5:9 – "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."Proverbs 15:1 – "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." TakeawayConflict is not the enemy — disunity is.

This unique asset has been on the radar for nearly a year, and Scott shares exclusive details after personally driving the neighborhood and walking the exterior of this red-brick family home. When an elderly reverse mortgage borrower passes away, the family often walks away, leaving a property packed with hidden equity and a fast-track path to profitability for savvy note buyers.

If you're a B2B healthcare marketer wondering whether your trade show budget is actually buying you anything real, this episode is for you.I sit down with Megan Antonelli, Founder and CEO of HealthIMPACT, to kick off a two-part series I'm calling The Intimacy Shift, a look at why healthcare technology marketers are pulling money out of massive trade shows and putting it into smaller, curated, community-driven events instead.Megan has spent over a decade building the kind of room that CIOs, CMIOs, and CFOs will actually fly across the country for, and in this conversation she breaks down exactly how she does it. We also get into a question a lot of marketers are asking right now: as AI makes it easier for buyers to research quietly and stay invisible longer in the funnel, does that make in-person events more important, not less? Megan's answer, and her closing advice on where to start if you're rethinking your own event strategy, is worth the listen on its own.If your team is questioning whether to keep writing checks for booth space at the next big trade show, start here.Key Topics Covered“(00:00)” Introduction“(03:15)” Pivoting to virtual during the pandemic“(04:00)” Defining "operators" in healthcare“(04:45)” Megan's path through Informa and IIR“(05:15)” The shift from conferences to trade shows“(06:45)” Making the leap from corporate security to founding her own business“(09:00)” The real mechanism for curating the right room“(11:00)” Sponsor break: Health Launchpad“(12:00)” Why getting executives to show up is harder than it looks“(13:45)” Why Megan is proud to be "pay to play" “(16:00)” How marketing, sales, and healthcare leads each measure event success differently“(18:15)” Why content has to earn six hours of a C-suite executive's time“(21:45)” The shift from CIOs chasing "innovator" status to prioritizing being "responsible"“(23:00)” AI adoption, the growing dark funnel, and why events matter more for validation“(24:15)” Peer validation and word of mouth as the real decision driver“(26:00)” Why executives give up three or four days to travel“(27:15)” Megan's closing advice“(28:15)” Adam's five takeawaysIf 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.

While the traditional office sector faces ongoing scrutiny, government-leased office properties operate in a completely decoupled realm of stability. In this episode, host Michael Bull sits down with Darrell Crate, CEO, President, and Director of Easterly Government Properties, to dissect the unique mechanics of the federal and state leasing markets. Darrell pulls back the curtain on Easterly's 10-million-square-foot portfolio to explain why mission-critical government real estate remains one of the most resilient, high-credit anchors an investor can add to a CRE portfolio. From the market effects of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to the strict nuances of navigating appropriations clauses, this conversation provides an elite blueprint for understanding how government tenancy drives long-term value, predictable 7% dividends, and unmatched lease stickiness. Key Topics Covered in This Episode: The Truth About DOGE and Government Real Estate: Darrell breaks down how the Department of Government Efficiency acts as a wave of private-sector accountability, forcing agencies to re-evaluate footprints without jeopardizing non-partisan, mission-critical assets like the FBI, VA, and DEA. The Asset-Light Disconnect: Why the U.S. government still owns two-thirds of its real estate footprint and why the ongoing transition toward a private-sector leasing model creates massive transaction volume and valuation arbitrage for private partners. Unmatched Occupancy and Stickiness: A look inside the metrics where standard commercial office vacancy headlines do not apply, highlighting how mission-critical facilities routinely maintain 98% to 100% occupancy over decades. Federal GSA vs. State Leases: Comparing the slow-moving underwriting of federal contracts against fiscally responsible state leases (like Georgia), which often feature built-in escalators and extended 25-to-40-year terms. The "Dabbler" Warning & Transaction Realities: Why standard commercial brokers face severe friction trying to execute government leases and why deep institutional knowledge is required to keep lenders comfortable through complex, multi-month negotiations. The Supply Cliff and Workforce Return: How a near-total freeze in new construction paired with the workforce return to physical spaces is providing sector-wide tailwinds for office real estate. Whether you are an institutional player looking to position capital in stable yield structures or a private investor wanting to understand the defensible "smile of the country" growth markets, this episode provides critical strategy for navigating the government real estate sector.   Connect with Darrell: https://easterlyreit.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/easterly-government-properties/   Connect with Michael Bull & The Show: Michael Bull, CCIM Bull Realty, Inc https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelbull/   For more commercial real estate market data, sector forecasts, and video episodes, visit CREshow.com.   America's Commercial Real Estate Show is brought to you by our proud sponsors.

In this Retail Technology Spotlight series, Chris Walton sits down with Soroosh Seyhoon, Chief Revenue Officer at Zello, to explore how capturing and analyzing frontline voice data is transforming the way retailers understand and manage store operations. From AI-powered in-ear assistants to real-time operational intelligence, Soroosh explains why the conversations happening on the sales floor represent an untapped goldmine of data that most retailers are completely ignoring. Drawing from deployments across hundreds of store locations, Soroosh shares how Zello is helping retailers move beyond measuring outputs like sales and throughput to finally measuring the inputs, the frontline communications that drive those results. The conversation covers everything from reducing associate turnover and accelerating onboarding to auto-reporting safety incidents and uncovering hidden staffing inefficiencies hiding in plain sight. From digitizing push-to-talk communications to replacing two-device workflows with a single-pane-of-glass solution, this episode offers a practical roadmap for retailers ready to stop flying blind on what's actually happening on the floor and start building the connected store of the future.

If a potential buyer asked an AI chatbot which companies are leading in your space, would your company come up? And if it did, would the answer be positive?In this episode, I sit down with Paul Wicks, Founder and Chief Evidence Officer of ProofStack Health, and my colleague Mark Erwich, Chief Strategy Officer of Health Launchpad, to dig into an underappreciated aspect of B2B health tech: the power of hard evidence.Not case studies. Not testimonials. Published, peer-reviewed proof.Paul brings a fascinating backstory to this conversation. A neuropsychologist by training, he spent years in academic research and then at PatientsLikeMe, where he helped publish over 110 peer-reviewed papers proving that patient-generated data could stand up to the highest standards of scientific scrutiny. That journey became the foundation for ProofStack Health, which has now helped more than 50 companies publish over 200 peer-reviewed papers.What makes this episode especially timely is the connection between evidence strategy and the way buyers are now researching vendors. Buyers are increasingly turning to ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity instead of Google, and those tools weight peer-reviewed scientific evidence heavily. Paul walks us through exactly how that works, including a remarkable case study on Ada Health, a company that consistently surfaces in AI search results as the best-evidenced AI symptom checker in the market. He also explains why the process of building an evidence base does not have to take years, and how conference abstracts can serve as a practical, fast-moving starting point.Mark brings the marketer's perspective throughout, drawing on his own experience co-authoring scientific papers and connecting Paul's framework to real-world content strategy, sales enablement, and trade show programs.If you are wondering how to get your company found when buyers are no longer Googling, this is an episode worth your full attention.Key Topics Covered"(00:00:00)" Introduction"(00:03:30)" Paul's background"(00:07:00)" The founding of ProofStack Health"(00:09:00)" What ProofStack does"(00:13:00)" The Ada Health case study"(00:15:00)" Mark's reaction"(00:17:30)" The shift in buyer behavior"(00:18:30)" How LLMs weigh evidence"(00:23:00)" Health Launchpad's AI optimization practice and how to get cited by LLMs"(00:24:00)" Open access and discoverability"(00:27:00)" How ProofStack structures an evidence roadmap"(00:29:00)" Mark on putting evidence to work in marketing"(00:32:00)" The importance of plain-language titles"(00:34:00)" Signals of trust"(00:35:00)" Paul's closing takeaway"(00:37:00)" Mark's closing takeaway"(00:38:30)" Adam's five key takeaways from the conversationIf 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.

The $28K Fort Worth Note with Massive Equity PotentialAre you looking for a real estate investment strategy that lets you step in as the bank, bypass the heavy competition, and capture massive equity for pennies on the dollar? Welcome back to our 50 Deals in 50 Days series! Host Scott Carson dives deep into a unique, low-balance nonperforming note opportunity sitting right in the heart of Fort Worth, Texas. Unlike typical cash-flowing performing notes, this distressed asset features a jaw-dropping dynamic: a rock-bottom legal balance on a property that is absolutely bursting with equity. If you want to maximize your returns using your IRA, savings, or investment capital, this episode reveals exactly how a $23,000 entry point could yield anywhere from a fast 21% ROI to a massive six-figure profit. Key Topics Covered in This Episode:The Anatomy of the Deal: A look into the 3-bedroom, 1-bath property in Tarrant County built in 1953, featuring an incredibly low legal balance of just $28,000 against a fair market value of $195,000–$205,000. The "Rehab the Borrower" Strategy: How a simple loan reinstatement or double-payment structure could instantly skyrocket your ROI to 23% or even 46%. Navigating Texas Foreclosure Laws: Capitalizing on the fastest foreclosure timelines in the country to secure a quick cash return or take the property back as an REO. The Power of Cash for Keys & Deeds in Lieu: Creative exit strategies to avoid court, obtain the deed directly from the borrowers, and take total control of the real estate. Turnkey Rental & Owner Financing Options: Analyzing market rents ($1,700/mo) and leaseback structures to create long-term cash flow. Partnering and Scaling up: How to utilize small-balance IRAs or partner directly with Scott to fund and flip these high-margin deals. Multiple Exit Strategies, Maximum FlexibilityThe true beauty of note investing is that you aren't locked into a single path. With this Fort Worth asset, you can play the role of the benevolent bank or the savvy real estate liquidator. If the vacant property heads to auction, a third-party bidder might pay off the debt, handing you a quick $5,000 profit in roughly 60 days (an annualized return of over 120%). "The real profit lies not taking this property to foreclosure... but taking the property back. When you buy the note, you don't own the real estate. You own the debt. But buying the note, you become the bank." — Scott Carson If no one outbids you, the property becomes a real estate owned (REO) asset. Suddenly, you are in control of a ~$200,000 home for just your initial note acquisition and light renovation costs. Whether you choose to fix and flip, rent it out for $1,700 a month, or offer owner financing back to the marketplace, the safety net of a 14% loan-to-value ratio ensures your capital is incredibly well-protected. Conclusion & Next StepsWhether you are an experienced investor or completely new to the space, small-balance nonperforming notes offer an unparalleled way to outmaneuver traditional foreclosure buyers. You get to skip the crowded courthouse steps and control the asset months before it ever hits the public market.

Are you letting the fear of the unknown hold you back from making profitable real estate deals? In this explosive episode of the Monday Money Coaching Call, host Scott Carson breaks down exactly why traditional real estate investors get trapped by analysis paralysis when transitioning into the note investing world. If you are waiting for a perfect interior inspection, a standard title closing, or traditional after-repair value (ARV) metrics before pulling the trigger on a non-performing loan—you are doing it all wrong! Tune in as we dissect a live Texas mortgage note tape, answer real-time student questions, and reveal how you can achieve an incredible 15% to 28% annualized return by embracing the unknown and leveraging a massive cushion of equity. Key Topics Covered in This EpisodeBidding Blindly and Safely: Why you don't need an interior inspection or a 5% earnest money deposit to put an offer on a vacant or non-performing note. If you hit an unexpected roadblock during due diligence, you can always utilize your "get out of jail free card" to renegotiate or walk away completely. The ARV Myth in Note Buying: Discover why After Repair Value (ARV) doesn't apply on the front end of note investing and how to shift your focus to the loan's true legal balance and foreclosure timelines instead. Navigating the Statute of Limitations: How a state's legal timeline limits how many years of back-payments a lender can actually collect, and how to spot overinflated legal balances on older defaults before you bid. Mastering the Mortgage Tape Terms: A deep dive into complex terms that often intimidate beginners—including Deferred Balances (extending the term to the back-end), Corporate Advances (lenders stepping in to pay delinquent taxes or forced-place insurance), and the difference between UPB and legal balance. Spotting "Emotional Equity": Learn how to visually evaluate a property from the exterior (such as neat landscaping or well-kept cars) to identify a motivated borrower who is highly likely to enter a creative workout agreement to save their home. Analyzing a Live Deal: A step-by-step breakdown of an actual re-performing note in Beaumont, Texas. Scott calculates the cash-on-cash yield and shows how a borrower making 16 payments over 12 months flags a massive "cha-ching" opportunity for passive investors. Stop overcomplicating your investment strategies with complex jargon and AI-generated text that scares off private money partners. Keep it simple, look at the equity, and remember that when you buy the note, even a foreclosure can lead to a bigger payday down the road. The best way to learn note investing is by actively pulling the trigger and making offers. Take a look at your mortgage tapes, look past the dirt, and let's get rocking and rolling!Watch the Original VIDEO HERE!Book a Call With Scott HERE!Sign up for the next FREE One-Day Note Class HERE!Sign up for the WCN Membership HERE!Sign up for the next Note Buying For Dummies Workshop HERE!Love the show?

In this episode of the AAOS Now Podcast, host Stuart J. Fischer, MD, FAAOS, speaks with two leaders in orthopaedic data science about how physician-controlled registries are transforming outcomes measurement, implant evaluation, and clinical decision-making. From the early vision of a national joint replacement registry to a new real-time data partnership with Epic, the conversation traces how far the registries have come and where they are headed. Drs. James Huddleston and Steven Glassman share concrete examples of how registry data is driving practice change. They also address how the data supports Clinical Practice Guidelines and research, why surgeon and patient information is protected from outside access, and what the integration of AI and patient-reported outcomes means for the next generation of orthopaedic registries. Key Topics Covered in This Episode: Origins and goals of the AAOS registry portfolio: How orthopaedic surgeons built a physician-controlled data infrastructure to protect procedures and drive evidence-based care Data sources and infrastructure: AJRR's use of hospital and ASC submissions, Medicare claims for complete follow-up on Medicare patients, and a new Epic Community Registries partnership for real-time data capture Registry scale and participation gaps: Why AJRR has surpassed five million procedures while spine, shoulder and elbow, and musculoskeletal oncology registries are still building volume Real-world clinical impact: How AJRR data has influenced cementless knee adoption, robotics use in unicompartmental arthroplasty, and the growth of triple-tapered femoral stems in hip replacement Research and CPG applications: How the Registry Analytics Institute supports physician-led and industry-sponsored research, with strict controls on data dissemination Patient-reported outcomes: The longstanding role of PROMs in spine and the challenges of scaling PROM collection for hip and knee under new government mandates Data privacy: Why registry data remains de-identified and inaccessible to insurers and government agencies, and what individual surgeon dashboards can offer International comparisons and ISAR: How AJRR benchmarks against registries in England, Wales, and beyond, and why U.S.-specific data remains essential AI and the future of registries: How AJRR is piloting AI-powered EHR extraction to improve data completeness without human intervention About Our Guests: James Huddleston III, MD, FAAOS, is Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Stanford Hospital; Co-Chair of the AAOS Registry Oversight Committee; and Chair of the American Joint Replacement Registry Steering Committee Steven D. Glassman, MD, FAAOS, is Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Louisville School of Medicine; Medical Director at the Norton Leatherman Spine Center; Chair of the AAOS Registry Oversight Committee; and past Chair of the American Spine Registry Executive Committee

There is a version of the marketing leader's job that looks great on a slide deck, and then there is the real thing. In this episode, I wanted to get at the real thing.I sat down with two marketing leaders who are currently in the middle of major company transformations, Erik Johnson, VP of Marketing at Harmony Healthcare IT, and Steffany Whiting, EVP of Marketing at iMethods. We are talking rebrands, ABM programs built from scratch, website overhauls, and bold calls about where to focus and where to pull back. The stakes are real for both of them.What I really wanted to explore was the human side of leading marketing at this level. The doubt. The pressure. The moments of second-guessing when you have convinced leadership to make a big bet, and you start wondering whether you went too far. What came out of this conversation was candid in a way I did not fully anticipate. Erik and Steff talked openly about how they build alignment before launching major initiatives, how they manage the ongoing pressure to show ROI from programs that take time to prove out, and what they do when the inner voice starts asking hard questions. They also went back into their careers to talk about the moments they were genuinely in over their heads, and what those experiences taught them.If you are a healthtech marketing leader carrying the weight of a big program right now, this episode is for you. And honestly, if you are early in your career and wondering what it actually looks like to lead at this level, this is worth your time too.Key Topics Covered“(00:00:00)” - Introduction"(00:01:00)" - What It Really Means to Lead Marketing in Healthtech"(00:03:00)" - Guest Introductions: Steffany Whiting and Erik Johnson"(00:06:00)" - Risk-Taking in a Fast-Moving Environment"(00:08:00)" - iMethods' Bold Call to Step Back from Events in 2026"(00:10:00)" - Building and Sustaining ABM Programs: The Long Game"(00:16:00)" - Why ABM Is Poorly Named (and What It Actually Is)"(00:20:00)" - Leading a Rebrand: Conviction, Expectation-Setting, and Founder Dynamics"(00:23:00)" - The Website Overhaul at iMethods"(00:25:00)" - Moments of Self-Doubt and What Brings You Back"(00:28:00)" - Have You Ever Genuinely Wondered If You Were the Right Person for the Job?"(00:32:00)" - Where Resilience Comes From in Healthcare Marketing"(00:34:00)" - Advice to a Younger Self"(00:39:00)" - Five Key Lessons From the ConversationIf 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 the AAOS Now Podcast, host Richard Schaefer, MD, FAAOS, sits down with two of orthopaedic surgery's most dedicated advocates for medical student mentorship, William Levine, MD, FAAOS, and Amiethab Aiyer, MD, FAAOS, for a candid conversation about the residency Match process.  The discussion tackles the nuts, bolts, and controversies of today's highly competitive application landscape, including how signaling helps students whittle down the number of programs they apply to, why away rotations may have gotten out of hand, and whether every student really needs to do a research year.  Drs. Levine and Aiyer share how their decades-long professional relationship helped shape their commitment to guiding the next generation of orthopaedic surgeons. They explain that mentorship is a bidirectional partnership in which the mentee must put forth more than just a desire to learn. They talk about the importance of building a diverse "board" of mentors across institutions. And they encourage students to seek out mentors, including near-peers, who have their “finger on the pulse” of the rapidly-evolving Match process.  The episode closes with a candid challenge to prospective applicants: Before attempting to match into orthopaedic surgery, ask yourself why you want to be an orthopaedic surgeon. According to Dr. Levine, mentors should require all of their mentees to answer that question — and if the answer is iffy, encourage them to consider a different specialty.  Key Topics Covered in this Episode How the residency Match process works: from application to Match Day Building a mentorship "board": why one mentor isn't enough and how to cultivate relationships across institutions Mentorship as a bidirectional partnership: what mentees must bring to the relationship The origin of OrthoMentor: how Drs. Levine and Aiyer began collaborating to fill a nationwide advising void and how students at institutions with limited advising resources can still access current, accurate guidance Signaling and application caps: understanding the data behind limiting program applications (yes, 100 applications is too many) Away rotations: how many to do and why cohort strategy matters when applying Research years: when they help, when they don't, and what to look for in a productive year Schools without home programs: unique challenges and where to find current guidance Pursuing the right path: why students should reflect on their motivations before pursuing a career in orthopaedic surgery, and why where you train isn't as important as what you do with the opportunity About Our Guests William N.

In this Retail Technology Spotlight episode, Chris Walton sits down with Kevin Billings, Vice President of Business Development at Sifter Solutions, to unpack how GLP-1 medications, SNAP legislation, and nutrition focused merchandising are reshaping the future of grocery retail. From state-by-state SNAP restrictions to hyper personalized shopping experiences powered by nutrition data, Kevin explains why retailers can no longer afford to treat food intelligence as a niche capability. Drawing from decades of experience across the American Heart Association, Label Insight, NIQ, and Sifter, Kevin shares how retailers can use product level nutritional data to drive compliance, improve shopper experiences, and prepare for a future where health outcomes increasingly influence merchandising strategy.

In this Retail Technology Spotlight episode, Judah Berger, AI Product Manager at Unframe.ai, joins Omni Talk to explore one of the biggest questions facing retail leaders today: how do you actually implement AI across an organization without creating operational chaos? Judah works directly with enterprises to turn AI from an exciting concept into scalable systems that solve real business problems, helping companies identify inefficiencies, design AI powered workflows, and deploy solutions employees can actually trust and use. As companies rush to adopt tools like ChatGPT and Claude, Judah explains why unrestricted experimentation can unintentionally create an “Excel on steroids” problem, where disconnected prompts and workflows multiply inconsistencies across the business. From AI governance and workflow orchestration to SKU intelligence, predictive inventory management, and a real world footwear retail case study that generated a reported 40x ROI, this episode offers a practical roadmap for retailers looking to operationalize AI responsibly while still encouraging innovation across their teams.

War Headlines Just Shifted Mortgage Rates: What Homebuyers Need to KnowMortgage rates are moving again, and this time the driver is not just inflation or jobs data — it is global uncertainty. In this episode of The Educated HomeBuyer Podcast, Jeb Smith and Josh Lewis break down how war headlines, oil prices, inflation expectations, employment data, housing inventory, and mortgage spreads are all impacting today's housing market.If you are trying to decide whether to buy a home, wait for lower mortgage rates, or understand what is really happening in real estate right now, this episode gives you the context behind the headlines.What's Happening With Mortgage Rates?Mortgage rates have been volatile as markets react to conflicting geopolitical headlines. When news suggests progress toward a ceasefire or reduced conflict, bonds often improve and mortgage rates can move lower. When tensions rise, oil prices and inflation concerns can increase, putting pressure on rates.Jeb and Josh explain why traditional economic data like jobs and inflation still matters, but in the current environment, war headlines and energy prices are taking center stage.Housing Inventory Is Still a Major ProblemThe episode also looks at national and local housing inventory trends. Active inventory declined week over week, which is unusual for this time of year. More inventory typically gives buyers more options, reduces pressure on bidding wars, and helps sellers feel more comfortable listing their homes.But inventory growth remains uneven across the country. Some markets are seeing more listings, while others — including parts of California and Orange County — remain tight compared to historical norms.Are Foreclosures Pointing to a Housing Crash?Jeb and Josh also discuss foreclosure and delinquency data. While some loan types are seeing rising stress, the broader data does not currently point to a nationwide housing crash. Delinquencies are worth watching, especially with consumer stress rising, but the market still does not resemble the conditions that led to the 2008 housing collapse.Key Topics Covered in This Episode Why war headlines are creating mortgage rate volatility How oil prices can impact inflation and interest rates Why jobs data still matters for mortgage rates What declining housing inventory means for buyers Orange County and Huntington Beach real estate trends Why mortgage spreads are helping keep rates from moving even higher Whether foreclosure data signals a housing crash When buying a rental property may or may not make sense How credit score improvements can impact your mortgage optionsWhat This Means for HomebuyersThe biggest takeaway: do not make homebuying decisions based on headlines alone. Mortgage rates, inventory, affordability, credit, loan structure, and your personal timeline all matter. A small move in mortgage rates can affect your payment, but the right strategy can help you navigate uncertainty with more confidence.Instead of asking, “Is now the perfect time to buy?” the better question is: “What does the right homebuying plan look like for my income, savings, credit, market, and long-term goals?”Ready to Become a Homeowner?✅ Ready to become a homeowner?

Episode Summary In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Daniel Fienup, Dr. Kate Loomis, and Lilian Morales to discuss their recent paper in JABA, Turning the Page: Increasing children's preference for looking at and engaging with books. In this episode, we explore how books can function as powerful reinforcers for young children, especially in early learning and ABA contexts. We discuss how to identify when books are actually reinforcing, how to condition books as reinforcers if they're not already, and practical strategies for incorporating them into teaching and behavior support. Key Topics Covered 1. What Makes Something a Reinforcer? Reinforcers are defined by their effect on behavior—not by intention A book is only a reinforcer if it increases the likelihood of a behavior Preference ≠ reinforcement (must test it) 2. Are Books Naturally Reinforcing? For some children: yes (especially those with strong interest in stories, visuals, or routines) For others: books may be neutral or even aversive Depends on learning history and prior pairing 3. Conditioning Books as Reinforcers Pair books with already-established reinforcers (e.g., attention, snacks, praise) Make reading interactive and engaging (voices, movement, pointing, questions) Start with short durations and build up tolerance/enjoyment Follow the child's lead (let them turn pages, choose books, etc.) 4. Embedding Books into Teaching Use books as part of discrete trial or natural environment teaching Reinforce responses with brief access to a favorite book Incorporate targets into reading (labeling, WH questions, listener responding) Use repeated readings to build fluency and predictability 5. Expanding Reinforcer Repertoires Why it matters: reduces reliance on edibles or screens Books are portable, social, and developmentally beneficial Helps build early literacy and joint attention skills 6. Common Mistakes Assuming all kids like books Using books too long as a reinforcer (loses value) Not rotating or updating book options Ignoring signs of disengagement 7. Practical Tips Keep a small "high-value" book rotation Use novelty strategically Observe what aspects the child enjoys (pictures, repetition, sensory elements) Track what actually increases responding Takeaways Books can absolutely function as reinforcers—but only if conditioned or preferred Pairing and engagement are key to building their value Using books as reinforcers supports both behavior change and language development Resources Tsai and Greer (2006).
