Podcasts about know your numbers

In this episode of Nurah Speaks, I continue my Know Your Numbers series by focusing on one of the most important health metrics we should all understand: blood pressure.High blood pressure is often called the "silent killer" because many people experience no noticeable symptoms until a serious medical event occurs. That's why I believe knowing your numbers and monitoring them regularly can be life-saving.In this episode, I explain:What blood pressure is and what the systolic (top) and diastolic (bottom) numbers measure.Why regular blood pressure screenings are essential—even if you feel healthy.The difference between normal blood pressure and hypertension, and why early intervention is so important.I also discuss how uncontrolled high blood pressure can damage the heart, arteries, brain, kidneys, and other organs as well as increase the risk of stroke, heart disease, kidney damage and other serious complications.Since lifestyle plays such a powerful role in blood pressure management, I share practical strategies that can help improve your numbers, including:Reducing sodium intake.Reading food labels carefully and recognizing hidden sources of sodium.Choosing whole foods over ultra-processed and packaged foods.Preparing more meals at home.Limiting processed meats and high-sodium restaurant meals.Managing stress through daily walks, stretching, and breathing exercisesMaintaining a healthy weight.I also encourage listeners to schedule annual physicals, build a relationship with a trusted healthcare provider and take advantage of free community blood pressure screenings if healthcare access is a challenge.My hope is that this episode serves as a reminder that small, consistent lifestyle choices can make a significant difference in protecting our health. By knowing our numbers and taking action early, we can improve not only our own well-being but the health of our families and communities.Thank you for listening to Nurah Speaks.

Many insurance agency owners focus on growing revenue, but revenue alone does not create financial health. Denise Nelson joins Mike Stromsoe to unpack the critical numbers agency owners should be tracking if they want to improve profitability, strengthen cash flow, increase enterprise value, and build a business that is not dependent on them. Drawing from her unique experience as both a CPA and insurance agency owner, Denise shares practical financial benchmarks, warning signs, and strategies that help agency owners turn growth into long-term financial success.Key Topics:Why managing by revenue instead of profit creates hidden financial problems The difference between growth that adds value and growth that adds complexity How to identify the true cost of servicing clients and supporting producers Why bookkeeping should be used as a decision-making tool, not just for tax compliance The most important financial metrics agency owners should review every month How compensation structures influence profitability and long-term growth Questions every agency owner should ask to evaluate their accounting and advisory team Warning signs that increasing revenue may actually be weakening cash flow and margins The impact of founder dependency on agency value and future sale potential Financial habits and disciplines that help build a more profitable and scalable agencyAbout The Guest:Denise Nelson is the founder and CEO of Accounting Plus and The Plus Group in Columbia, Missouri, and she also founded Insurance Plus, an independent insurance agency in Columbia. That combination gives Denise a rare perspective: she understands the accounting, tax, and advisory side of business, but she also understands the real-life challenges of running and growing an independent insurance agency.For more than 30 years, Denise has worked with business owners to help them understand their numbers, improve profitability, and build stronger companies. Through The Plus Group, she now helps independent agency owners see whether their growth is actually producing stronger profit, better cash flow, and greater long-term agency value.Ways to connect:How to connect:  email Denise@accountingplusinc.comMessage me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/denise-nelson-32901910/ Website (Insurance services page): https://accountingplusinc.com/insurance-agency-advisory/Connect with Daniel:LinkedInWebsiteConnect with Mike: LinkedIn TwitterGrowth alone is not the goal. The strongest agencies convert growth into predictable profit, healthy cash flow, scalable operations, and long-term enterprise value. By understanding the right financial metrics, building financial discipline, and reducing owner dependency, agency owners can create businesses that are both more profitable today and more valuable tomorrow.

Joe and Carla Policastro, co-founders of Cycle CPA, join Phil to discuss why financial clarity is the foundation of a healthy snow and landscape business. From managing the cash flow challenges of seasonal work, to benchmarking your numbers against industry peers, to why your bank balance only tells part of the story, this husband and wife team shares how proactive accounting and advisory work help contractors make confident decisions instead of operating on gut feel. They also open up about the personal journeys that drive their mission to serve hardworking business owners in the green and snow industries. Key Learnings Your Bank Balance Is Only Part of the Picture - Checking your account daily tells you what you have right now, but future cash flow forecasting shows you what is coming and what to watch out for. Seasonal Businesses Must Build Cash Reserves - Snow and landscape operations need enough cash saved during busy months to carry them through slow seasons and economic downturns. Get Your Numbers Fast to Decide Fast - The earlier you receive accurate monthly financials, the quicker you can make confident business decisions. Benchmark Against Industry Peers, Not Just Last Year - Comparing your numbers to industry averages reveals problems like labor costs running higher than competitors, pointing you toward what needs fixing. Make Decisions on Data, Not Gut Feel - Business owners without timely, accurate information are operating in the dark, while knowing your numbers lets you plan the future with confidence. Track Labor Hours Against Each Job - In a labor-intensive industry, knowing how many hours are budgeted toward a specific job and tracking time against it is critical to protecting your margins.

Is it too late for you to prevent dementia? Even if you have a family history of dementia there are steps you can take to lower your risks. You know it's important to train your physical body, but are you training your brain? It's possible to improve your cognitive ability as you age. And what's good for the brain is good for keeping away unwanted belly fat. Lifestyle is crucial: dietary patterns, movement, sleep, social connections, avoiding alcohol and tobacco, managing stress and adequate sleep play a role. It's also important to keep your blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and weight under control. Correcting vision or hearing loss is important too. Speed training, or speed processing helps increase your brain's reaction time which helps maintain the ability to drive. Studies show it lengthens independence and reduces the development of dementia.  If you're ready to dive deeper into brain health, join the Healthy Looks Great on You Lab.  0:00 Introduction 0:37 Can You Improve After 65? 1:03 Brain vs. Belly: The Connection 2:46 8 Lifestyle Interventions to Prevent Dementia 3:35 Move & Dietary Patterns 5:33 Sleep, Stress & Social Connection 6:51 Know Your Numbers & Sensory Health 7:47 Speed Training for the Brain 9:25 BrainHQ & The ACTIVE Study 11:40 Call to Action & Final Challenge

Send us Fan MailDr. Michael Koren and Rich Jones, in front of a live audience, present a rundown of cholesterol, what it is, and what the numbers you get on a lab test mean. They discuss why cholesterol matters, what labs measure, what affects your numbers, and why the same lab results can mean different treatments for different people. To exemplify this, Dr. Koren reviews the lab results of three real patients, with their permission, and explains why each patient is unique. He explains that a high LDL is not as important for someone with high HDL and low risk factors, but that a slightly lower LDL with a history of possible heart attack needs to be aggressively lowered. Finally, he evaluates a patient with relatively good numbers but several risk factors who may benefit from lifestyle adjustments before medical intervention.Be a part of advancing science by participating in clinical research.Have a question for Dr. Koren?

Welcome to another episode of The AZREIA Show! In this episode, Mike Del Prete, Executive Director of the Arizona Real Estate Investors Association, breaks down one of the biggest mistakes new investors make starting with a fix-and-flip. He explains why flipping is a complex, high-risk strategy that requires mastering deal acquisition, budgeting, construction management, timelines, and sales, all while putting your own and borrowed capital on the line in a market that's far less forgiving. Mike shares essential lessons every beginner needs to hear, including why "you make your money on the buy," and how emotional decisions, over-improving properties, and underestimating true costs can quickly turn a deal into a loss. He also offers practical guidance on how to approach deals the right way, using inspection periods to protect yourself, working with experienced contractors and agents, and accurately calculating ARV and every line-item expense before moving forward.

If you don't know your numbers, you're losing deals—period. In this episode, we break down the exact stats every real estate agent MUST know before walking into a listing appointment. Because when sellers start asking questions (and they will), your ability to answer confidently can be the difference between winning and losing the listing. We cover the 5 critical numbers top agents always have ready:
 • Total homes sold + volume
 • Local sales in the seller's neighborhood
 • Experience in specific price points
 • Average days on market
 • List-to-sale price ratio This isn't theory—it's what actually shows credibility in competitive listing situations. If you want to win more listings, build trust faster, and position yourself as the obvious choice… it starts with knowing your numbers cold.

Branden Hudson and Chet open by joking about politics, then discuss lessons from gym ownership and “failures” in running a combat sports gym. Branden explains that after parting ways with a Maryland/Delaware group he had more time to evaluate SBY's operations and found major gaps in systems, processes, onboarding, cancellations, finances, and CRM usage, including delegating responsibilities he hadn't learned himself. They stress knowing financial numbers (including member cost/value), stopping unnecessary spending, and getting help from a CFO/accountant to stop “hemorrhaging.” They emphasize creating SOPs for everything, clarifying roles to avoid overlap, and training properly when bringing on staff. They warn against getting consumed by member drama, advise removing cultural “cancers” quickly, and share a story where Branden's coaching delivery drove off a new member, prompting him to take ownership, apologize, and refund fees. They close on entrepreneurship being hard, lonely, and growth-focused, and ask viewers to like, subscribe, share, and review.00:00 Welcome and Subscribe00:34 No Politics Just Gym Talk01:40 Parting Ways and Growth Lessons04:04 Locking In and Fixing Holes07:25 Coaches vs Management Challenges09:50 CRM Chaos and Delegation Mistakes13:14 Know Your Numbers and Costs17:52 Expansion Decisions and Space Limits19:21 Stopping the Bleeding with a CFO20:15 Masterminds and Building SOPs22:24 Overloading New Staff22:50 Role Clarity Board Meeting24:30 Delegation and Duty Swaps25:55 SOPs That Scale28:14 Sales Talk and Listening30:08 Drama and Member Turnover33:57 Culture Cancers Fire Fast35:37 Dont Take It Personal38:55 Owning a Coaching Mistake43:28 Entrepreneur Reality Check44:47 Final Takeaways and Outro

While heart disease may be the number-one killer in the United States, kidney disease is the silent partner we rarely discuss. It often develops quietly, with no pain or clear symptoms until advanced stages. What should we know about kidney health and kidney diseases? We spoke with Kirk Campbell, MD, president of the National Kidney Foundation, about the kidneys’ vital roles – from red blood cell production to supporting heart function – why testing matters, which tests to request, and the importance of knowing your numbers. If you’re at risk, don’t hesitate to advocate for screening at your appointments.

In this dynamic family-led episode, the team from On Target Living—twin siblings Matt Johnson and Kristen Brogan, alongside their father Chris Johnson—break down what it truly means to build a strong health foundation in a world overloaded with trends, supplements, AI-driven solutions, and quick fixes. Framed around the metaphor of building a house, they emphasize that real health starts with the basics: rest, real food, and movement. Kristen dives into women's health, hormone replacement therapy, and the constant cycle of diet culture, challenging listeners to simplify and return to nutrient-dense whole foods like omega-3s and chlorophyll-rich greens instead of relying on isolated supplements or extreme diets. Chris then shifts the conversation to “knowing your numbers,” explaining how to decode bloodwork, understand cholesterol beyond fear-based messaging, assess real risk, and recognize the powerful role of stress, sleep, digestion, and inflammation in aging well. Together, the three reinforce one core message: you can't shortcut thriving health. Sustainable vitality comes from intentional habits, listening to your body, and strengthening the foundation before adding “solar panels” like peptides or advanced interventions.#HealthPodcast #WellnessPodcast #HolisticHealth #HealthyLifestyle #Longevity

Episode Overview In this final installment of the Conquer the Operational Chaos series, John Kitchens and Joel Perso break down one of the most overlooked — yet most powerful — CEO disciplines: knowing your numbers. Growth without visibility creates chaos. More agents, more leads, more deals — without proper tracking — only amplifies inefficiencies. In this session, John and Joel unpack how to measure what actually matters, how to assign the right metrics to each role, and how to move from emotional decision-making to data-driven leadership. If you've ever wondered why your P&L says you're profitable but your bank account feels tight… or why your team feels busy but results are inconsistent… this episode will reset how you think about performance. Because if you don't know your numbers, you don't know your business. Key Topics Covered The Final Piece of Operational Clarity Recap of the Conquer the Operational Chaos framework: Week 1: The Operational Hire Week 2: Building Processes Week 3: Core Buyer & Listing Systems Week 4: Measuring What Matters Why growth without tracking leads to internal breakdown How knowing your numbers protects profitability and performance What "Know Your Numbers" Really Means The difference between tracking data and making decisions Why metrics exist to improve leadership — not to create busywork The CEO mindset shift from guessing to measuring The Financial Foundations Every CEO Must Understand Profit & Loss (P&L): Revenue, expenses, and true profitability Balance Sheet: Assets, liabilities, and owner equity Cash Flow: Why profit and cash are not the same Budget vs. Actual: Where silent leaks in your business happen Assigning Metrics to Every Role Every role in your business must have at least one key metric. Why? People want to know what winning looks like Clear agreements eliminate emotional performance conversations Numbers create accountability without friction Metrics vs. Targets (The Critical Distinction) Tracking a number isn't enough. You must define: What is success? What is the agreed target? What happens when we miss? Agreements replace expectations. Expectations create frustration. Agreements create alignment. Leading Indicators vs. Lagging Indicators Lagging indicators: Closings, GCI, volume Leading indicators: Conversations, appointments set, follow-up activity You can't control closings. You can control conversations. John's breakdown: Conversations → Appointments Set → Appointments Met → Agreements Signed → Closings Reverse engineer your goals down to conversations per hour. The Conversations Per Hour Framework This was one of the most tactical moments of the episode. Instead of asking: "How many conversations per day?" Ask: "How many conversations per hour?" Then reverse engineer: How many conversations does it take to set one appointment? How many appointments does it take to sign a client? How many signed clients does it take to close one deal? How many hours per week must be dedicated to outbound activity? When you know this math, success becomes predictable — not accidental. The "Protein, Carbs, and Fats" Principle Borrowed from Blake Sloan: Protein = Conversations Carbs = Appointment Asks Fats = Face-to-Face Meetings You can hit your main metric and still fail if supporting metrics are ignored. One metric matters. But supporting behaviors matter too. Where to Start Don't try to fix everything. Focus on one priority per quarter. If you're spending significant money in one area (Zillow, PPC, mailers, client events), optimize that first. Clarity compounds. Chaos compounds faster. Resources Mentioned Simple Numbers, Straight Talk, Big Profits – Greg Crabtree Financial Intelligence – Karen Berman & Joe Knight Measure What Matters – John Doerr CSU Dashboard / CTE Business Tracking The Growth Centric – Systems Audit with Joel Perso John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach Final Takeaway There are two major breakdowns in most small businesses: They don't know their financial numbers. They don't know how they're allocating their time. If you know your money and you know your time, you control your growth. If you don't — you're guessing. As Joel put it: "If you don't know your numbers, you don't know your business." And as John reinforced: "It's not conversations per day. It's conversations per hour." Measure what matters. Build agreements. Track leading indicators. Execute with clarity. That's how CEOs eliminate chaos.

How many times have you been told that being healthy means being at a certain weight or BMI? The reality is that weight and BMI tell us very little about your health.    A much better way to know how healthy your body is are your labs. Whenever I'm working with a client who has health concerns, the first thing we do is gather some data by looking at what their specific health concerns are, and their bloodwork that would give us clues as to how their health is looking.    Your weight tells us one thing: Your gravitational pull.   Your labs tell us many things: How well your organs are doing their jobs, how well your body is regulating its blood sugar, your risk of certain things like cardiovascular events, if you are sick with an infection, if you have systemic inflammation, whether or not you have certain diseases, and so much more.    In this episode, I'm walking you through the labs that I look at and recommend most frequently as a dietitian. These are the labs that tell us what to focus on when it comes to gentle nutrition strategies, and it's a way of listening to what your body is communicating (which is absolutely part of intuitive eating).    *DISCLAIMER: I'm obviously not a doctor, and you should ask your doctor about all of this and work with them to understand what lab tests are most appropriate for you and your unique health needs.
