What should a direct primary care physician actually pay themselves? On this episode of My DPC Story, Dr. Maryal Concepcion sits down with Nate Goodman, CPA, founder of Goodman CPA, the accounting firm that works exclusively with direct primary care and direct specialty care practices.Nate is also a DPC patient. His family's experience with direct primary care in the Black Mountains of North Carolina is why his firm stopped taking non-direct care clients in 2024.Together they walk through 10 questions, each with a real number attached, that every DPC owner should be able to answer.In this episode:How to set a DPC membership rate using your household budget and local census income dataWhy most physician owners are 30 to 50 percent underpriced once discounts and free memberships are countedWhere an enrollment fee should sit (one to two months of membership) and what it fundsThe profit margin to target with employees (about 30 percent) versus a solo micro practice with no payroll (up to 70 percent)How many months of cash to hold before raising your own payThe Profit First method for DPC: 20 percent to owner's pay and 15 percent to taxes from day oneWhat has to be true in your numbers before hiring a second physician, and the marketing signal most owners missThe true loaded cost of a hire (1.25 to 1.4 times base salary)What a normal annual termination rate looks like and when churn means something is wrongLLC versus S corp: the 15.3 percent self-employment tax and where the break-even point sitsYear-end tax moves to make before December, including the 401(k) setup deadlineFree calculator: Nate and the My DPC Story team built a free DPC financial calculator so you can run your own membership pricing, enrollment fee, owner pay, and hiring numbers.

How do you land on a name when you're staring down fifty thousand options, and none of them feel right? Katie Miserany, Chief Communications Officer and Global Head of Marketing at SurveyMonkey, just led the naming and go-to-market for Launchpad, SurveyMonkey's new suite of market research tools built for Marketers with zero research background. Katie joined the company on the communications side, worked her way up to Chief of Staff, and took over the newly combined Marketing and Communications function about a year ago. And, Katie breaks down the six-step framework her team used to name Launchpad, why they started with a brief instead of a brainstorm, and how deciding who the product was NOT for (professional researchers who could build it themselves in SurveyMonkey) sharpened the name, the positioning, and the entire go-to-market. She also walks through how the internal debate between "SurveyMonkey Launch" and "SurveyMonkey Methods" got settled, not by whoever had the loudest opinion in the room, but by 4,500 survey responses. Plus, Katie tells the story of SurveyMonkey's 2021 rebrand attempt, when the company tried to shake its "silly" name to look more enterprise ready, and why the new CEO reversed that decision in 2023 and leaned back into the brand equity everyone already knew. Her take: with buyers asking ChatGPT and Claude about you before they ever search your name, brand and storytelling matter more now, not less. If you're a Marketer who's tired of guessing whether your next name, headline, or campaign will land, this is the episode for YOU.

Jim Cummings says Disney is recasting him as Darkwing Duck for the upcoming reboot, and that Launchpad McQuack is getting a new voice actor too. This lands two weeks after Cummings was passed over for Disney Legends at D23, and the Seth Rogen produced revival he recorded a pilot for is moving ahead without him.I have a hard time squaring this one. Cummings has been Darkwing Duck, Winnie the Pooh, the Cheshire Cat, Shredder, and a few hundred other voices that basically built the 90s for a lot of us, and he recorded the pilot that got this whole revival greenlit in the first place. Now he is out of the lead role, Launchpad is being recast, and he did not sound thrilled about any of it. Pair that with the Disney Legends snub at D23 and the fact that he already got recast on the latest Winnie the Pooh in favor of a kid actor, and it starts to feel less like a scheduling problem and more like a guy being quietly pushed to the side. He is still working. He played Pete again in 2026 and he is running an active podcast. He is willing to do it. I still want the Darkwing series to land because it is a genuinely fun property for kids, but this part of it stinks.Chapters0:00 The Darkwing Duck Recast News0:12 Launchpad Is Getting Recast Too0:20 What Cummings Actually Said About It0:32 The D23 Disney Legends Snub0:48 Still Working, Still Willing, Still Sidelined1:01 The Pilot, Seth Rogen, and How This Got Greenlit1:18 Why This One StingsKey TakeawaysCummings says he is being replaced as Darkwing Duck and that Launchpad is being recast as well, with Terry McGovern's role going to someone newHe never addressed whether he might still appear as another character in the series, so a Negaduck return is unconfirmed either wayHis reaction was pointed rather than gracious, which reads differently once you factor in the timingThe Disney Legends snub at D23 happened roughly two weeks earlier, making this the second public sting in a monthHe is not cut off from Disney. He voiced Pete again in 2026, but he was also already recast on the newest Winnie the Pooh projectHe recorded the pilot that generated the excitement for this revival, which makes the recast harder to explainQuotes"I hope they get everything they deserve.""Jim Cummings is a voice of a generation.""There's kind of this like mounting thing where it kind of feels like Jim's being shoved out a little bit.""It's wild to me. It's just completely wild.""Best of luck, Jim, and I hope that Dark Winged Duck series is successful still, because I think it's a really fun property for kids."CTAIf you grew up with Darkwing Duck, tell me straight up whether you can accept a new voice in the cape.

Idaho National Laboratory (INL) was born in 1949 as the National Reactor Testing Station after the Atomic Energy Commission decided they needed a place to test controlled nuclear fission power systems. Before being taken over by the AEC, the land was controlled and used by the U.S. Navy to test refurbished weapons, up to and including the 16″ guns carried by battleships. After a five decade long hiatus in building new reactors while also implementing a significant level of diversification into other research areas, the INL is regaining strength in its original purpose as a place to test and demonstrate complete nuclear reactor power plants. (The term “plant” is not really applicable to micro-reactors, but it will serve as a general term for now.) This time through, the design, approval, construction and testing programs are not being led by a federal monopoly called the Atomic Energy Commission. It is not focused on developing reactors that can be used to test the ideas of scientists who don’t really care if anyone wants to buy the system they are developing. Instead, the reactor development efforts underway and in planning for the future are more cooperative, distributed and commercially driven. Josh Gillespie is the Chief Operating Officer of the National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC). He visited the Atomic Show to talk about NRIC and its role in helping the Nuclear Renaissance gain traction and success. NRIC was created in 2019 as a result of directives and authorizations contained in the Nuclear Energy Innovation Capabilities Act (NEICA). Its purpose is to build bridges that enable private sector organizations to work with national laboratory scientists and physical resources to cross the “valley of death” between good ideas and commercially viable products. It is tasked with preparing facilities to serve as test beds for new reactor development and testing and to develop sites where new facilities can be built. Though it can be a challenge for any government organization – like a national lab – NRIC has been tasked to be able to operate at the speed of a start-up. It is taking strides in that direction, though it is still limited in speed by the federal government budget cycle. Josh described how NRIC is working closely with the Department of Energy Idaho Operations Office which is directly responsible for the DOE 1271 authorization process for both reactors and supporting facilities – like those that are in the fuel supply chain or involved in radioactive materials testing and evaluation. NRIC helps private sector companies develop their plans, find suitable facilities, prepare required submittals and engage in readiness reviews. NRIC’s reach extends beyond the boundaries of the Idaho National Laboratory; has been contracted to support several of the Reactor Pilot Program developers that have built or are building their reactors in Texas or Utah. Josh described DOME as the crowning jewel of NRICs facilities. It once served as the containment dome for the highly successful but prematurely retired Experimental Breeder Reactor II, the remains of which are encased in concrete and grout in the basement and foundations of the existing facility. DOME is designed to be able to host a test reactor that might be exercised to its limits while still preventing any release of radioactive materials. Radiant Nuclear was selected as the first tenant of the DOME. It is scheduled to complete its operational testing and to remove its equipment from the facility in a year to make room for the next tenant. Top shield covering Antares Mark-0 in RACE facility NRIC played an important role in the success of the Reactor Pilot Program. It helped to find and repurpose facilities for Antares (RACE – Reactor and Criticality Experiment), Deployable Energy (NRAD – Neutron Radiography Reactor) Aside: Bit of INL Trivia – The building that is now RACE housed the Army’s ML-1 reactor development program from the late 1950s until the program was ended in 1964. End Aside. Josh described NRIC’s role in the Nuclear Energy Launch Pad as similar to that of a subdivision developer. A 2,000 acre plot has been allocated. NRIC is responsible for developing basic infrastructure, including roads and common utility systems. It will arrange for site characterization studies in preparation for environmental assessments. Private sector developers will lease their sites and contract for any additional services desired from an available menu. These include additional security and fire services. There will be similar services offered to developers who are building on sites that are not INL; that part of the program is called Launch Pad – USA. Josh is an Idaho native who is happy to be involved in creating a winning partnership between private sector companies and government/national lab organizations. He believes that the new developments will help Idaho National Lab continue to thrive and lead in nuclear energy development. He is excited about helping to deploy abundant sources of clean electricity and heat that will contribute to a bright future for Idaho, the U.S. and the rest of the world. You’ll enjoy this show. Listen carefully and comment via X if desired.

With the recent wave of milestones across the U.S. nuclear sector, we were eager to better understand what these achievements mean for the future of advanced reactors. Over the past month, Antares, Valar Atomics, Deployable Energy, and Aalo Atomics each achieved criticality, an important technical milestone, through the Department of Energy's Reactor Pilot Program (RPP) and Nuclear Energy Launch Pad. To help us put these milestones into context, we were delighted to host Dr. Rian Bahran, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Reactors in the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy. Rian oversees the Department's portfolio for advanced reactor research, demonstration, and deployment, and is a career member of the Senior Executive Service who has served under both the Biden and Trump Administrations. We were thrilled to visit with Rian to "demystify" the latest developments in U.S. nuclear and discuss what still needs to happen before these technologies reach commercial scale. In our conversation, Rian explains why the four recent criticality milestones represent an important step forward for advanced nuclear. While criticality is not the finish line, he shares how these demonstrations help validate a new commercialization pathway by allowing companies to build and test nuclear hardware in months rather than years. He describes how the Department of Energy's Reactor Pilot and Launch Pad initiatives are creating greater regulatory certainty, helping companies unlock private capital, and accelerating progress toward commercial deployment. We discuss the DOE's broader strategy for expanding U.S. nuclear capacity, from gigawatt-scale reactors and small modular reactors to microreactors. Rian explains why the DOE is pursuing multiple technologies simultaneously, allowing the market to determine the winning designs while supporting innovation across the reactor, fuel cycle, and supply chain ecosystems. He outlines how reactor uprates, restarts, and investments across the nuclear fuel cycle can provide near-term additions to U.S. generating capacity while advanced reactors continue progressing toward commercialization. We explore the role advanced nuclear could play in powering AI infrastructure, military installations, industrial facilities, and future export markets. Rian discusses how the DOE is leveraging AI to accelerate reactor design, licensing, manufacturing, and deployment, and why workforce development has become one of the industry's greatest long-term challenges. He emphasizes that the U.S. has reached a true inflection point for nuclear energy, driven by unprecedented alignment across government, industry, private capital, and growing electricity demand. It was a wide-ranging and fascinating discussion, and we sincerely appreciate Rian taking the time to join us during such a busy time. Mike Bradley kicked us off by noting that three key themes have driven markets so far this quarter. First, Treasury yields have continued to move higher, with the 10-year Treasury yield rising to approximately 4.55% and the 30-year Treasury yield climbing above 5%. Second, renewed geopolitical uncertainty following the end of the Iranian ceasefire helped lift WTI crude oil prices by roughly $4/bbl this week to approximately $72/bbl. Third, equity markets have experienced notable sector rotation, with investors shifting capital out of semiconductor stocks and back into the Magnificent 7. Mike concluded by highlighting the sharp reversal in sentiment toward small modular reactor (SMR) companies. While SMR stocks were among the market's strongest performers entering 2026 amid growing enthusiasm for nuclear power, the group is now down roughly 30% on average year-to-date. Nick Morriss, Brett Rampal, and Veriten Senior Advisor Bill Flores also joined the discussion, contributing their perspectives and questions on nuclear energy and power.

Episode Description A goal without a launchpad is just a daydream without a deadline. Today we build the structure that makes your Mars mission real before you move a single inch. I think SMART goals are stupid, at least the time-based, realistic part. Ask Elon how long Mars should take. A big goal doesn't fit in a tidy box. What it needs is one thing. A decision to begin, a date on the calendar, and a few visible markers so you can feel yourself moving. Build it to pull you forward, not push you. Let's build your launchpad. Featured Story I'm recording this on Monday the 29th, right before I head out on vacation. I've got a goal that splits the year in two, the first half from the second. So every single thing I'm doing today and tomorrow is cleanup. Clearing stuff out, tying off loose ends, getting it all off my plate. I'm not white-knuckling it. I'm building momentum on purpose. When July 1st hits and I kick into the next stage, the obvious next step is already carrying me there. That's a launchpad. The decision is made, the date is set, and the runway is clear. All I have to do then is light it up. Important Points A goal without a launchpad is a daydream without a deadline. Make it real before you move with a date and a structure. The decision to begin is the one move that fuels everything after it. Decide first, and the motivation shows up next. Lay small visible markers between here and your goal. They prove you're moving so you don't get lost in the dark middle. Memorable Quotes A goal without a launchpad is a daydream that doesn't have a deadline. Your daydream without a deadline is nothing. There is one thing that gives you the motivation to continue your goal, and that is the decision to begin it. Decide. You decide to go, you go. Your commitment is automatic if you're motivated enough to reach the freedom on the far side. Scott's Three-Step Approach Start by making one clear decision to begin, because that single choice is what fuels every step that comes after it. Next, make it real before it's real, naming a date, putting it on the calendar, and saying the goal out loud to someone. Then lay visible markers down the runway, benchmarks that prove your momentum so you never stall in the dark middle.

What does it take to ensure every child receives the same high quality education? School districts across the country are working to answer that question—and are seeing major improvements to student outcomes. In this episode, we share the story of Guilford County Schools in North Carolina, one of twelve districts featured in All Systems Go, a landmark research project from The Center for Public Research and Leadership (CPRL) at Columbia University that seeks to uncover how districts are achieving major math and reading gains. To unpack what that research reveals, host Gloria Riviera sits down with Liz Chu, Executive Director of CPRL and Senior Research Scholar and Lecturer in Law at Columbia Law School, and Dr. Whitney Oakley, Superintendent of Guilford County Schools.  This episode is created in partnership with Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies.

In this episode of The Steve Weatherford Show, Steve sits down with Michael Rutherford to unpack one of the most powerful transformation stories to come through Launch Pad. Michael shares how he once had the appearance of success — money, status, business wins, and the ability to do whatever he wanted — yet underneath it all, his life was unraveling. He opens up about being lukewarm in his faith, carrying shame, addiction, self-hatred, brokenness, and eventually reaching a point where everything he thought gave him identity began to collapse. His story takes a dramatic turn when he walks into men's prayer, breaks down in front of the room, gives his life fully to Jesus, and immediately asks to be baptized — even saying, "Find a river, find a pool, find a toilet." This episode is valuable because it shows what true surrender can look like when a man stops trying to fix his life in his own strength and finally lets God take over. Michael's testimony is raw, emotional, convicting, and hopeful — especially for men who feel disqualified by their past, trapped by shame, or defined by what they can provide. From losing money and identity, to battling suicidal thoughts, to finding freedom, baptism, brotherhood, and renewed purpose, Michael's story is a reminder that God can use the very places of brokenness we thought made us unusable. This is not just a story about hitting rock bottom; it is a story about resurrection, obedience, and what can happen when a man fully surrenders to Jesus.

(8) Bob Zimmerman concludes by revisiting the Apollo 1 catastrophe, where three astronauts died due to "hubris" and careless engineering on the launchpad. This failure forced NASA to adopt total honesty, resulting in critical safety redesigns like the new hatch and atmosphere. Simultaneously, the Soviet program suffered its own tragedy with the death of cosmonaut Komarov during Soyuz 1's re-entry. These setbacks forced both nations to slow their pace and prioritize rigorous testing. The guest notes that without these disasters, a moon landing might have occurred in 1967, but the resulting caution ultimately shaped the success of Apollo 8.

Dr Jeffrey Gillis is a research professor of physics at Wash U. He joins Megan Lynch with an explanation of the impacts of the recent Blue Origin launchpad explosion which destroyed the program's sole Florida launchpad, which could take more than a year to rebuild. Artemis 3's planned return to the moon would utilize space vehicles built by Blue Origin and launched from that damaged location, is the program stalled?

HT2638 - Photograph As Launch Pad It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that a photograph is a destination of a viewing process. It's as though seeing a photograph puts a period at the end of an experiential sentence. The reason I call this a trap is because it seems much better to me to consider a photograph as a launch pad for an experience, one that encourages a train of thought, a series of questions, a dialog, a search for meaning and understanding. A photograph that only provides answers is easy to forget. This RSS feed includes only the most recent seven Here's a Thought episodes.

A rocket explodes during a test at the launch pad. AP correspondent Mike Hempen reports.

-Owner Jeff Bezos said it was a "very rough day,” but the company will rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. As The New York Times reports, the explosion occurred on Blue Origin's only launchpad for New Glenn, and it could take several months for the company to repair it. -Uber shuttles to and from the stadium will only be available in Miami. In the other three locations, the company will only be offering shuttles to leave the venues.  In Miami, Dallas and Boston, fans will have to pay $45 for a ride, while it's $49 for the New York-New Jersey venue. -The crypto business, run by twins Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, agreed to a $5 million fine in early January 2025 after the CFTC sued it for making false or misleading statements regarding its bitcoin operation.

In this podcast, my friend Blake Prime shares how the 16-year business he built eventually became an idol that pulled him away from God, his wife, and his kids. From the outside, everything looked successful — a thriving fitness company, influence in the church, and a strong social media presence. But behind the scenes, Blake felt like a fraud. Everything changed during a mission trip to Honduras when he felt God clearly tell him to walk away from the business he had built for over a decade. Ironically, Blake first came to Steve Weatherford's Launchpad event just to see if Steve was legit — and to learn his system so he could use it himself. Instead, God used that moment to completely transform his life. In this conversation, Blake and Steve talk about success becoming an idol, the hidden struggles many men carry, and how humility, brotherhood, and surrender can lead to true freedom and restored families.
