What if you positioned your practice like Tim Hortons in the land of Dunkin'?   By Editor-in-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today/Host, The DocPreneur Leadership Podcast   So, I'm riding shotgun with my teenage son who some of you have met, Matthew, riding through Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan (yes, that's a real place in Canada—not a children's book or a lumberjack's nickname). We're up there visiting family when suddenly, Matthew blurts out: “Hey Dad! Look—Tim Hortons!” You'd think he'd spotted Bigfoot holding a maple donut.   Now, we live in the southeastern U.S.—where Tim Hortons isn't exactly on every corner like it is up north (oddly enough though, they just opened one of two here in Suwanee, GA and Columbus, GA -- so lucky us!). Around here however, it's all Dunkin' Donuts, Krispy Kreme and Waffle House. But to us? Tim Hortons is like spotting a unicorn running a drive-thru window. Which is precisely the point!   This, my friends, is called 'scarcity marketing.'   Scarcity marketing is when something becomes more desirable simply because it's rare, hard to get, or only available some of the time. Ever had Duck Donuts? Those of you who know, you know, right!?   It's psychology. It's strategy. It's genius—and yet, most physicians and practice administrators in healthcare don't use it.   Let's bring it back to your work more specifically in concierge medicine.   Scarcity is sort of baked into the concierge medicine model isn't it? After all, most concierge doctors cap their patient panel. Their not located everywhere and heck, sometimes the doctor only takes on only 500 patients a year. You're not walking into that kind of practice on a whim with your phone in one had and WebMD printout in the other.   But here's where it gets tricky: Post-COVID, patients discovered this magical thing called options. Telehealth exploded. Everyone became a semi-professional medical researcher on Instagram and TikTok. Suddenly, your patients didn't need to be within 10 miles to “see” a doctor. And now that we've entered the golden age of medical TikToks and YouTube health webinar gurus, even your great aunt knows how to self-diagnose using AI.   The result? Patients are more informed, but not necessarily more connected.   That's where you and your concierge practice come in and have the advantage.   Sure, while accessibility is great, it's created a weird paradox. The more available something is, the less valuable it feels. Just ask Blockbuster how that went.   On top of that, many low-cost primary care and "affordable" (think sub $99/pmpm) subscription-based practices still haven't fully bounced back from their pre-pandemic rhythm. Why? Because “urgent care is just easier,” or so they've been told. It's the fast-food equivalent of healthcare—convenient, but not memorable, right?   Even still today, some medical practices have dropped their prices in hopes of attracting more patients. But marketing by being “the cheapest” (oops, sorry, most affordable) often becomes a race to the bottom. Spoiler alert: there's not a trophy at the bottom -- maybe just some warm fuzzies though!   One industry expert we interviewed and spoke to recently (eg. summer 2025) said "You can't market “time,” “access,” or “care coordination” as part of your cash-based model. Those terms are legally sensitive under Medicare/OIG guidance and the Civil Monetary Penalties Law. What you can market — and what works — are routine exams and communications that are clearly defined and compliant.When structured properly, these can be part of a concierge-style offering without stepping over legal lines. And remember, most if not all of those published price versions of cash healthcare are not structuring their fees/services to allow for employer/tax-advantaged funding, and perhaps their lower prices are unintentionally reflecting that. Pre-tax and employer funding options allow for higher prices points, and can be used to provide versions of this care with 100% employer funding—that can enable more folks to benefit from this care model.” (Eischen; 2025) Bottom line of what he's saying is: You don't have to water down your value — just market it the right way. Stay away from vague “access” claims and focus on tangible, documentable services. His best advice, work with legal counsel specifically familiar with this space to keep your messaging clean and compliant. You can find a list of those resources at the 2025 Concierge Medicine Forum, October 16–18, 2025 in Atlanta, GA USA or in the Business Center Section of our web site found here.   So what does work? Connection. Community. Belonging.   Remember what the U.S. Surgeon General said not long ago? The fastest-growing health issue in America isn't cancer or heart disease. It's loneliness. Yep, good old-fashioned no-one-to-call-at-midnight loneliness. And get this—it's reportedly as dangerous as smoking 15 cigarettes a day!   So now imagine you're a concierge doctor, and instead of just offering same-day appointments, you're offering connection. Patients want to feel like someone cares—like someone is on their team. And if your practice can deliver that? You're not just healthcare. You're a lifeline!   For example, that's why medical practices leaning into longevity medicine are seeing a new kind of traction. Patients aren't just looking for a quick fix. They want a partner for the long haul—someone who's going to help them stay well into their 90s (with their original knees, preferably).   Here's another example. Scarcity marketing is not unlike Harley-Davidson.   Bear with me. I know we've moved from donuts to motorcycles, but stay with me for another minute.   Harley-Davidson isn't just selling bikes. They're selling identity, loyalty, and a tight-knit community. People literally tattoo the brand on their bodies. They created H.O.G. (Harley Owners Group) to foster community. Similar to what Concierge Medicine Today has done with its FOR Doctors message. It's Harley's way of saying, “You're in the club. You belong.” And it works. That's scarcity marketing at its finest: “Not everyone gets to be a part of this. But you do!”   It's not exclusive though. There's a difference. Don't confuse the two which is often why concierge medicine gets the side eye in some circles.   Now ask yourself: What if your medical practice operated with the same mindset? What if you positioned your practice like Tim Hortons in the land of Dunkin'? What if instead of chasing volume, you created value—and made people (i.e. patients!) work just a little to be part of something special and personal?   That's the future of patient relationships, longevity and concierge medicine I think intersect.   And yes, we'll be diving into this and more at our upcoming 2025 Concierge Medicine Forum, October 16–18, 2025 in Atlanta. It's the Tim Hortons of medical conferences—rare, warm, slightly addictive, and worth the trip!   In the meantime, don't just market with more noise. Market with meaning. Don't aim to be everywhere. Aim to matter somewhere.   So again I ask … What if you positioned your practice like Tim Hortons in the land of Dunkin'?   Disclaimers: THIS SITE AND ANY OTHER CMT MANAGED OR OWNED WEB PROPERTY by Concierge Medicine Today, LLC (herein CMT) DOES NOT OFFER MEDICAL, FINANCIAL, LEGAL, OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.

De gekheid in memeaandelen is weer even terug. Het is al een tijdje geleden, maar in 2021 was het helemaal in. Kleine particuliere beleggers staken elkaar aan om aandelen te kopen in zieltogende bedrijven waar hedgefondsen flink short in zaten. De hedgefondsen gokten op een verdere daling. Maar als de koers toch stijgt, moeten ze van de risicoafdelingen hun posities indekken. Dus kopen ze de geleende aandelen terug, waardoor de koers verder omhoogschiet. De kleine belegger die bijvoorbeeld Gamestop in zijn portefeuille had, zag de koers met een factor 85 toenemen. Het leverde mooie verhalen in de media op. Ik denk dat er in de praktijk niet zoveel beleggers zijn geweest die er daadwerkelijk een vermogen mee hebben verdiend, maar een goed verhaal was het wel. Kleine beleggers die door samenwerking het groot kapitaal verslaan. Na 2021 zagen we regelmatig kleine oplevingen van de memehype. Momenteel is er weer een zo’n oprisping. Dit keer zijn het aandelen zoals GoPro, Kohl’s, Krispy Kreme en OpenDoor. Een bijzonder stel; een sportcamerafabrikant, een donutketen, retailketen en een online huizenplatform. De aandelen hebben wel een paar gemeenschappelijke kenmerken. Het waren in een ver verleden mooie bedrijven, maar de glorietijd is voorbij en sindsdien is de koers gedecimeerd. Ze maken geen of nauwelijks winst en de vooruitzichten zijn matig. Tot slot zitten de hedgefondsen flink short. Particuliere beleggers zijn op deze aandelen gesprongen, waardoor de hedgefondsen hun verliezen hebben moeten nemen. Dus schoot de koers weer even omhoog. GoPro bijvoorbeeld zakte ooit van $14 naar $0,40. Door de memegekheid van nu is het aandeel gestegen tot $1,30. Een verstandige belegger aan de zijlijn kan hier wel duidelijke signalen uit oppikken. Het belangrijkste signaal is dat de bereidheid om veel risico te nemen flink is toegenomen. Dat zien we ook in de cryptocurrencies en andere speculatieve delen van de markt. Goldman Sachs heeft gekeken naar aandelen die meer dan tienmaal de omzet waard zijn (let wel, omzet geen winst), naar verliesgevende technologiebedrijven en naar pennystocks. In alle drie de segmenten zijn de omzetten op de beurs extreem toegenomen. Kortom, beleggers vinden het heerlijk om hierin te speculeren. Delen van de aandelenmarkt zijn duidelijk oververhit. En oververhitte markten zijn meestal niet de beste markten om in te beleggen. Voor de belegger die een goed verhaal belangrijker vindt dan rendement, heb ik nog een tip. Koop één aandeel. Als het goed gaat, kun je in de kroeg opscheppen dat je natuurlijk hebt geprofiteerd van deze hype. Als het fout gaat, zeg je niets, maar heb je ook bijna niets verloren. Als je echter voor het rendement gaat, zou ik ze links laten liggen. Uiteindelijk blijft het gewoon memegekheid op een stokje.

Send us a textIn this week's episode of The Skinny on Wall Street, Kristen and Jen break down the latest wave of meme stock mania and what it reveals about market sentiment. They dive into Opendoor and other “DORK” stocks (Krispy Kreme, Opendoor, Kohl's, etc.), explaining how short squeezes and retail investor hype have driven massive price swings despite weak fundamentals. The conversation also unpacks the housing market's current dynamics—record-high home prices, the impact of higher mortgage rates, and why real estate inventory levels are starting to shift.The hosts then turn their attention to policy, analyzing Marjorie Taylor Greene's proposal to remove the capital gains tax cap on primary residences. They explore whether this change would meaningfully improve housing affordability or simply benefit older, wealthier homeowners, and why the real barrier for many sellers is “mortgage rate lock-in.” Kristen and Jen also discuss how inventory, pricing trends, and affordability challenges are shaping the broader market outlook.Finally, they examine how AI is creeping into investment banking with OpenAI's new “agentic mode” designed to automate financial modeling. Kristen and Jen share their hands-on experience testing the tool, explaining where it can help and where it falls short. They discuss the risks of over-reliance on AI, the importance of building skills manually, and what the rise of these tools might mean for the future of knowledge work.For a 14 day FREE Trial of Macabacus, click HERE Our Investment Banking and Private Equity Foundations course is LIVEnow with our M&A course included!

But one of Trump's three AI executive orders signed Wednesday — the one “preventing woke AI in the federal government” — marks the first time the U.S. government has explicitly tried to shape the ideological behavior of AI.The move also pushes the tech industry to abandon years of work to combat the pervasive forms of racial and gender bias that studies and real-world examples have shown to be baked into AI systems.OpenAI's Sam Altman warns of AI voice fraud crisis in bankingOpenAI CEO Sam Altman warned the financial industry of a “significant impending fraud crisis” because of the ability of artificial intelligence tools to impersonate a person's voice to bypass security checks and move money.“A thing that terrifies me is apparently there are still some financial institutions that will accept the voiceprint as authentication,” Altman said. “That is a crazy thing to still be doing.

Het was een dag vol tegenslagen. Minder bestellingen voor ASM International, een winstwaarschuwing bij CM.com en wéér een dalende omzet bij Randstad. Twee van die bedrijven verloren zelfs (bijna) een tiende van de beurswaarde.En dan vergeten we nog even SAP, het meest waardevolle beursbedrijf van Europa. Ook dat stelt teleur. Deze aflevering hebben we het over de resultaten van ASMI, CM.com en Randstad én kijken we waarom Europese beursbedrijven dit cijferseizoen zo teleurstellen. En of je misschien toch niet naar Amerika moet. Hoor je ook meer over de deal die president Trump sloot met Japan. De 'grootste handelsdeal ooit' noemt 'ie het. De Japanners gaan ruim 500 miljard dollar investeren én 15 procent importtarief betalen. Al is het volgens sommige echt een 'hele slechte deal'.Slecht gaat het niet bij KPN, de laatste tijd toch wel gezien als veilige haven in deze onzekere tijden. En toch wordt het niet beloond voor goede kwartaalcijfers. Hoe dat zit, vertellen we je deze uitzending. Hoor je ook waarom uitgerekend GoPro de verrassing van de beursdag is. Dat gaat tientallen procenten omhoog!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, Brian dives into the passage of the “Big Beautiful Bill”—a $4.5 trillion piece of legislation that's sparking debate across party lines. While the headlines tout tax cuts and local wins (yes, even Idaho got a little pork), Brian takes a closer look at what this bill really means for taxpayers, investors, and the long-term debt picture. He breaks down permanent tax changes that may benefit small business owners, retirees on Social Security, and working families—but he also challenges listeners to ask: at what cost? From inflation's sneaky role in boosting tax receipts to how our complicated tax code rewards those with the right advisors, this episode blends financial insight with political reality. Plus, Brian gets real about why tax avoidance (not evasion!) is your legal right—and why many households could save thousands with smarter planning. And yes, we touch on third parties, healthcare costs, and why a Krispy Kreme job may pay more than you'd think. Listen, Watch, Subscribe, Ask! https://www.therealmoneypros.com Host: Brian Wiley

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss Taco Bell's announcement that it would expand its Live Mas Café platform to an additional 30 locations before the end of the year — and eventually to all U.S. locations. The test at a San Diego location has been so successful that Taco Bell expects beverage could be a $5 billion platform by 2030. So what does that mean for the beverage boom across the industry? Sam and Alicia break it down. Next they discuss the amicable split between McDonald's and Krispy Kreme, which launched in 2022 as the doughnut chain sought to leverage McDonald's 13,000-plus locations as access points for its goods. Sam and Alicia discuss why the partnership was ultimately a failure, and why restaurants should consider prioritizing quality over access on their growth journeys. Then they talk about recent data from Black Box Intelligence that showed that businesses serving large immigrant populations are experiencing sales and traffic declines, citing fears of the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign. Finally, tune in to a conversation between managing editor Leigh Anne Zinsmeister and Applebee's executive director of off-premises Vicki Hormann, held in person at the recent National Restaurant Association Show.
