What happens when personal loss becomes the catalyst for finding your voice? For Simone W. Johnson-Smith, a personal loss in 2021 ended six years of procrastination and launched a movement that now reaches over 100 countries. From Jamaican immigrant to U.S. diplomat to award-winning author and podcast host, Simone's story is about recognizing the psychological realities of living between cultures and empowering others to thrive in that beautiful, complex space. About Our Guest Simone W. Johnson-Smith is a global voice and cultural bridge-builder. With over two decades of experience navigating immigration systems and international transitions, she is a former U.S. diplomat turned award-winning author, certified coach, and podcast host. She is the visionary behind The Immigrant Experience in America podcast and The Bridge Concepts. Her mission is to help Third Culture Persons and immigrants not only adjust but thrive, embracing their identity while bridging the gap between cultures. She is the author of "Decoding America" and creator of the Thrive Abroad framework. From Retail to Diplomacy to Finding Her Voice Simone's career began in retail when she arrived in the U.S. in 1998. A chance encounter at the layaway counter led to banking, teaching her that integrity and how you treat people can open unexpected doors. That role evolved into investment banking, but she couldn't see herself there for 20 years. Instead, she became one of 20 people selected out of 600 applicants for a fellowship that led to the Department of State as a diplomat. From 2015 to a personal loss in 2021, she had been procrastinating about her true passion—being scared to put her voice and story out there. That loss changed everything, and by summer 2021, she was working on The Immigrant Experience in America podcast, which launched in January 2022 and now streams globally with over 180 episodes. The Hidden Psychology of Immigration Simone addresses critical issues mainstream conversations often miss, revealing the depth of challenges that Third Culture professionals face: Culture Shock goes beyond adjustment—research shows symptoms can range from mild depression to fatal self-harm, making this a serious mental health concern that requires attention and support. Cultural Homelessness occurs when adapting to survive in a new country means you no longer fit into your home country either. This creates a painful in-between space where you feel like you don't belong anywhere. Financial Vulnerability affects many immigrants who lack financial literacy about their new country's systems, making them targets for predatory financial companies and credit schemes. Career Navigation Insights for Professionals Simone's journey offers valuable lessons for professionals at any stage, particularly those navigating cultural transitions: Always Be Ready for the Next Opportunity: Her move from retail to banking happened because someone noticed how she handled customers. Professional presence and integrity matter in every interaction, as you never know who's watching or what doors might open. Don't Get Comfortable in Stagnation: When she couldn't see herself in the same building for 20 years, she made a bold move. Recognize when you're trading growth for security, and be willing to take calculated risks for advancement. Leverage Your Unique Background: Her international experience and cultural perspective became assets in diplomacy. Your diverse background isn't a limitation—it's a competitive advantage that brings value to organizations. Build While You're Employed: Simone demonstrates how to pursue passion projects while maintaining financial stability. The key is finding something that genuinely motivates you beyond just exchanging time for money. Recognize Systemic Challenges Early: It took her over a decade to identify workplace discrimination and microaggressions. Learning to name and address these challenges sooner helps you navigate them more effectively rather than internalizing the impact. Essential Insights for Global Professionals Recognize Your Interview Power: Rather than approaching job interviews as a beggar, remember that you bring value to the table. Evaluate whether you'll have psychological safety in that workplace. Prepare Beyond Excitement: Take time to educate yourself about the real challenges of living in a new culture, not just the opportunities. Build Community Early: Isolation can compound adjustment challenges. Finding your community is essential for both professional and personal success. Understand Systemic Challenges: It can take years to recognize and name experiences of discrimination and microaggressions. Being aware helps you respond rather than internalize. Building While Working Simone demonstrates the reality of building a purpose-driven business while maintaining full-time employment. She emphasizes that traditional employment alone won't create financial freedom, but when you find something that genuinely pushes you out of bed, the passion sustains the extra effort required. Her approach shows how immigrants often need to be pragmatic about financial stability while still pursuing their deeper calling to make an impact.

In this episode of The Note Closers Show, Scott Carson dives into the world of infinite returns through a fascinating case study. This episode explores how to achieve above-average returns by strategically investing in performing or non-performing notes. Let's break down the key elements of this deal and understand the approach to evaluating such opportunities.Strategic Note Investment Opportunity: A performing note in Toledo, Ohio, is being offered at a significant discount, presenting an opportunity for a high return on investment. Initial due diligence is key to confirm updated valuations and potential upside.Leveraged for Strong Cash Flow: The note is owner-financed and has consistent cash flow, making it appealing. Understanding loan to value ratio and the potential future of rental revenue is crucial in determining if this deal is worth the investment.Infinite Return Potential Through Private Money: By utilizing private money lenders, the deal can be structured to minimize or eliminate the investor's personal capital, creating the potential for an infinite return on investment.Built-in Risk Mitigation Elements: The original loan included a title insurance policy, and adding a prepayment penalty can further protect against refinancing and ensure a minimum return even in early exit scenarios.Rehabbed Property with Appreciation Potential: The property has been recently rehabbed, and there is an increase in property value, as shown by a BPO. There is opportunity for refinancing and profit in the near future.This case study illustrates how to potentially achieve infinite returns through strategic note investing. By thoroughly analyzing deals, leveraging private money, and mitigating risks, investors can unlock significant profits.

From a $3,500 investment to an eight-figure tech company—all without VC funding. Neelima Parasker's story spans 25 years in corporate tech before making the leap to entrepreneurship at age 40+. This isn't just a business success story—it's a masterclass in career evolution, strategic risk-taking, and turning industry frustrations into innovative solutions. About Our Guest Neelima Parasker is the Founder, President, and CEO of SnapIT Solutions®, an innovative technology company delivering IT services, software product development, and inclusive tech workforce training. With a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Master's in Computer Science, Neelima brings over 25 years of experience in the high-tech industry. Neelima created SnapIT's proprietary SPRNT® model, which develops and deploys tech talent from unconventional communities through certified training programs across 10 states (expanding to all 50 by 2030). Her approach combines education with real-world apprenticeships, addressing the tech talent shortage by training brilliant people who never considered technology careers. In July 2023, she was nominated by Kansas Governor Laura Kelly to serve as a Regent on the Kansas Board of Regents. Her visionary leadership has earned numerous accolades, including Enterprising Women of the Year and Women Who Mean Business by Kansas City Business Journal. She is also co-founder of Lotus TMS, Inc, a trucking management software company. The Career Evolution: From Engineer to Innovation Leader Neelima's career path defied expectations at every turn. Born in India, she came to America for her Master's in Computer Science and decided to build her career here instead of returning home. Her corporate journey took her through 15 years at major tech companies, where she learned a crucial lesson: "I was very inquisitive about what's happening, and I would always let whoever is managing my work know that I'm done with this work. I need more." This hunger for growth and learning became her career superpower. The transition from employee to entrepreneur came gradually: "People around me kept saying 'you gotta get out of there and start your own.' I'm like, why? I'm happy in my job." But eventually, her drive for innovation and impact outgrew the corporate structure. From Corporate Security to Entrepreneurial Reality One of the most honest parts of the conversation was Neelima's comparison of corporate life versus entrepreneurship: "Corporate job gives you flexibility. You could spend a lot more time on things you want to do after work. You can go on vacation and not worry about it because there are people to back you up." But entrepreneurship? "You're a parent—even if you walk out the door, you're still responsible." She learned this the hard way, working 2-3 AM every night in the early days until her body couldn't keep up. Her advice to aspiring entrepreneurs is strategic: master your core service first. "Because of my 15 years in the corporate world, when I got into entrepreneurship, I knew what I was bringing to the table for the client. I just needed to know the ropes of how to go about it." The Gems: Neelima's Game-Changing Insights On Real vs. Fake Experience "You can have 10 years of experience on paper, but if you've done the same thing for one year 10 times, then you only have one year of experience." On Corporate vs. Entrepreneurship "Being an entrepreneur is like being a parent—even when you walk out the door, you're still responsible. Corporate life is like babysitting someone else's baby—when you walk out, you're done." On Breaking Limiting Beliefs "Someone said, 'You've done so great even though you immigrated and have an accent.' Those are limiting beliefs. I've never thought about that. If I can talk and another person can understand, there's no barrier." On Smart Business Funding "Your clients are your investors if they're ready to pay for what you bring. Don't run to an investor the second you have a brilliant idea." On Learning What Can't Be Taken Away "There is no IP on what you can learn. They can't IP your brain." On Corporate Career Growth "I was very inquisitive about what's happening, and I would always let whoever is managing my work know that I'm done with this work. I need more. You gotta make sure you are the product—your experience counts." On Setting Entrepreneurial Boundaries "I had to learn to set boundaries for myself. I would work until 2-3 AM, then wake up at 6 AM and start again. Even though I love what I do, doesn't mean my body can catch up with my spirit. You gotta be more mindful about taking care of your health." The Intersectional Advantage Neelima embodies her philosophy: "I've never wanted to box myself because it doesn't make sense. Intersectionality equals out of the box. We are defined by what is inward, inside, within us—not by how society looks at us." As an Indian immigrant, engineer, entrepreneur, mother, and workforce development champion, she brings multiple perspectives to solving complex problems. Her refusal to choose just one identity became her business superpower. Connect with Guest Neelima Parasker Website: https://snapit.solutionsLinkedIn: Neelima ParaskerAlso Co-founder: Lotus TMS, Inc.

What does it take to completely reimagine your career in a new country? Dr. Ekaette Joseph-Isang proves that it's never too late to bloom where you're planted—even when that means leaving medicine behind to become a transformation coach. In this powerful episode, Dr. Ekaette shares her remarkable journey from practicing internal medicine in Nigeria to becoming a sought-after growth and transformation consultant in the US. Her story challenges every assumption about "safe" career paths and demonstrates how embracing your intersectional identity can become your greatest professional asset. Meet Our Guest Dr. Ekaette Joseph-Isang is a healthcare executive and a growth and transformation consultant supporting individuals and organizations that are looking to embrace innovative growth paths. Her expertise in self-improvement and professional development has her curating training programs that are often described as "the most life-changing training" that the participants have had. A physician by training, an entrepreneur by passion, and a teacher by calling, she is highly sought after for her transformation coaching programs. In her book "No Late Bloomers" coming out this August, she details the story of her midlife pivot when she immigrated to the US, and how she transmuted situations that could have been described as midlife crises to periods of transformation and elevation. Known for her life-changing program, the A.C.T.I.O.N Pathway, she uses the acronym ACTION to teach her clients how 6 bold moves could lead them to live up to their maximum potential. Dr. Ekaette is also the founder of RiteBridge Consultants, specializing in Clinical Documentation Integrity, Risk Adjustment Solutions, and Value-based Care strategy for healthcare organizations. The Intersections That Shaped a Leader Dr. Ekaette's identity spans multiple powerful intersections that inform her approach to transformation: Nigerian immigrant navigating cultural expectations and career rebuilding in America Career woman, mother, wife, and sister balancing multiple roles and responsibilities Accented professional overcoming communication barriers in corporate America Physician by training who refused to be confined to one specialty Entrepreneur by passion who builds and innovates wherever she goes Teacher by calling who cannot help but educate and elevate others As she puts it: "All of these things come together to make me who I am. In that intersectionality, I have to balance my time, my responsibilities, and make sure no aspect of me gets left behind." The Nigerian Medical Experience Dr. Ekaette provides rare insight into practicing medicine in Nigeria, where the doctor-to-patient ratio means physicians wear multiple hats. "As an internal medicine physician, I would be in the emergency room, I would man the emergency room, I would do minor procedures, stabilize patients, and also be the educationist," she explains. The resource constraints meant developing exceptional diagnostic skills: "We understood signs and symptoms through what we call the IPPA way—inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation. Half the time, we made diagnoses without the help of equipment. It really sharpened our diagnostic acumen." The Catalyst for Change Dr. Ekaette's transition from clinical practice to healthcare policy began with a professor's challenge: "One of you should go do policy, because the reason doctors are suffering is because the policy makers are not clinical people." This sparked her move into healthcare administration and eventually her immigration to the US. Upon arriving in America, instead of pursuing residency again, she discovered the CDC's Applied Public Health Informatics Fellowship during the transition to electronic health records. This became her entry point into the intersection of healthcare, technology, and policy. The A.C.T.I.O.N. Pathway: Six Steps to Transformation Dr. Ekaette's signature framework provides a roadmap for career transitions and personal growth: A - Analysis: "Analyze where you are in your career. Think of everything you've done—all your degrees, experiences, skills. Put it all down." C - Clarity: "Gain clarity about who you are, your perspective, your natural inclinations, what you love to do. This is about self-awareness." T - Transitioning: "Take training. Add technology. You must know the technological tools relevant to your field and in general." I - Integration: "Bring it all together—your personality, your career, your training—so you can give yourself a name and say 'This is who I am.'" O - Ownership: "Begin to tell your story through your resume, your pitch, your LinkedIn, your social media. Only you can tell that story." N - Niching: "Define your unique space. Ten people may have the same degrees, but we're all different. Find what makes you uniquely valuable." When asked about sharing a cultural dish with coworkers, Dr. Ekaette chose Ukang Ikong—a traditional Ibibio plantain porridge from her native Akwa Ibom State, made with half-ripe plantains and seafood proteins. "It's super unique. No other person cooks it," she says with pride about her tribe's culinary heritage.

What happens when cutting-edge neuroscience meets precision engineering in the pursuit of human optimization? You get a revolutionary approach to health that's changing how high-performers think about their bodies and brains. In this powerful episode, Dr. Lola Adeyemo chats with Dr. Gina D'Andrea-Penna and Gil Acevedo, co-founders of Nexus Fitness, who are bringing scientific rigor to the fitness industry. Their unique backgrounds—shaped by neurodiversity, immigration, health challenges, and athletic transformation—have led them to create a holistic coaching platform specifically designed for STEM professionals who demand evidence-based solutions. About Our Guests Gina D'Andrea-Penna is a neuroscientist and fitness coach who co-founded Nexus Fitness. During her PhD, she studied how health and lifestyle choices shape the brain, uncovering the powerful, cumulative impact of our daily habits on how we think, feel, and show up in the world. That research—alongside her own health and fitness journey—inspired her to launch a coaching business with her husband, Gil. Gina is passionate about helping others live more intentional, meaningful, and fulfilling lives, and she believes fitness is the foundation for doing exactly that. Gil Acevedo is a Staff Software Engineer at Qualcomm and the co-founder of Nexus Fitness. With a background in Computer Science and a lifelong drive to grow stronger—physically, mentally, and professionally—Gil brings both technical precision and grit to everything he does. He's passionate about fitness, building tools that help people thrive, and creating impact through entrepreneurship. Whether he's writing code, lifting weights, or helping build a business alongside his wife, Gina, Gil is fueled by curiosity, discipline, and a vision for what's possible. The Intersectional Lens That Drives Innovation Gina's Multifaceted Perspective Growing up with an older sister with Down syndrome, Gina became a Special Olympics volunteer and unified partner, exposing her to the incredible resilience of people with disabilities. Her childhood was further shaped by her mother's work teaching ESL and her father's position at Gallaudet University, creating a household rich with diverse perspectives and cultures. The intersection of being a young woman with celiac disease proved particularly formative. When doctors dismissed her symptoms as an eating disorder, she learned a crucial lesson: "Just because somebody's a medical professional doesn't mean they know what's best for you—you know your body the best." This experience would later inform her approach to personalized health coaching. Gil's Journey of Transformation As a Mexican-American who immigrated back to the US at age 13, Gil understands the challenge of starting over in a new culture while maintaining cultural identity. His athletic career in track and cross-country came to an abrupt end with a permanent hamstring avulsion injury in high school—a setback that became a setup for discovering strength training and personal development. Growing up in an immigrant household where his parents took demanding labor jobs that eventually harmed their health, Gil witnessed firsthand the cost of neglecting wellness. "When you don't have your health, that's all you want," he reflects, explaining the driving force behind his commitment to helping others prioritize their wellbeing. From Personal Struggles to Scientific Solutions Both founders experienced pivotal moments where personal health challenges became catalysts for helping others at scale. Gina's transition from long-distance running (and the injuries that ended that chapter) to strength training paralleled her academic shift from studying consciousness to investigating how daily habits shape brain function. Gil's evolution from a shy teenager affected by bullying to a confident engineer demonstrates the transformative power of physical fitness: "Once I went to the gym and saw my body transforming, that enabled me to feel more confident—and that translates to showing up in the workplace, feeling confident to speak up and share your ideas." The Neuroscience of Peak Performance What sets Nexus Fitness apart is their evidence-based understanding of the mind-body connection. As Gina explains from her research: "Your physical health and your day-to-day choices fundamentally shape how the brain works. You are not going to perform at your best at work if one of these pieces is falling apart." Their holistic approach recognizes that true optimization requires attention to: Physical Activity: Movement patterns that enhance rather than deplete cognitive resources Nutrition: Fuel strategies customized to individual needs and cultural preferences Sleep Quality: The foundation of memory consolidation and decision-making Stress Management: Tools for maintaining performance under pressure Education: Understanding the science behind sustainable behavior change Essential Wisdom for High-Performing Professionals On Breaking Cultural Barriers to Wellness Gil addresses a common challenge in immigrant communities: "Growing up, we don't think about going to the gym if there's nothing wrong with you that the doctor asks you to work on. We see our parents work and work and work—there's no time for preventative care." On The Modern Health Paradox Gina highlights a critical insight: "The modern world has created an environment where it's so easy to make the unhealthy choice. We go for the path of least resistance, but we've created a situation where the path of least resistance is actually ruining our health in the long run." On Confidence Through Physical Transformation Both founders emphasize how physical strength translates to professional confidence. Gil shares: "Everything is connected—work on yourself more than you work on anything else. How you show up physically affects how you perform mentally and professionally." On Customization Over Trends Their approach prioritizes individual needs over popular fitness trends: "Everyone is different—what works for one person may not work for another. You need to study your body and understand how you respond to different approaches." The Science of Sustainable Change Drawing from Gina's neuroscience background and Gil's engineering precision, Nexus Fitness focuses on creating systems that work within the constraints of demanding careers. They understand that STEM professionals need evidence-based approaches that fit into packed schedules and high-stress environments. Their coaching methodology combines behavioral science with practical implementation, recognizing that knowledge without application is worthless. As Gil puts it: "The meaning you bring to things is what makes them powerful—whether it's your work, your health habits, or how you interact with the world." Essential listening for STEM professionals seeking evidence-based wellness strategies, immigrants navigating cultural expectations around health, and anyone interested in the intersection of neuroscience and peak performance.

In this episode we answer questions from Mason, Brian, and Anonymous.  We discuss portfolio transitions from a highly overlapped portfolio and related consideration, treasury strips funds and leveraged ETFs (twice), and the power of advice from the great Jim Rohn.  UNLIMITED POWER.Just remember that "Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion."And we discuss our campaign for the Father McKenna Center and Quebecois updates to our website.Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterThe Source of the "We Don't Know" Clip:  Jim Rohn Join the 3% Club and Walk away from the 97%Breathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Transforming your portfolio into a risk parity approach doesn't have to be complicated, but it does require both strategy and courage. This episode dives deep into listener questions about making that transition while navigating tax implications and psychological barriers.When Mason asks about converting his advisor-built collection of funds into a risk parity portfolio, Frank reveals a crucial insight most investors miss: holding multiple similar funds creates "false diversification." Those four large-cap funds in your portfolio? They're basically the same investment with different names. True diversification comes from understanding what's inside each fund, not collecting different tickers.For those curious about leveraged ETFs like UPRO, Brian's question leads to fascinating observations about why some leveraged products perform better than others. The conversation reveals why Treasury strips funds like GOVZ/ZROZ make reasonable substitutions for standard Treasury allocations, while leveraged gold ETFs might be problematic for long-term investors. Frank shares his personal experience reducing his own UPRO allocation and explains why experimentation with small portions of your portfolio is the wisest approach to newer investment strategies.The philosophical foundation of the show emerges when a listener asks about the "Nobody Knows" sound clip. The attribution to motivational speaker Jim Rohn opens a window into the mindset that drives successful investing. Rohn's philosophy that "affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion" perfectly captures why just thinking about better investment outcomes isn't enough—you must take action to create them.Ready to reshape your investment approach? This episode provides both the practical steps and the motivational spark to move forward confidently.

What does it really mean to take a risk in your career? Dr. Stanley Lewis, founder and CEO of A28 Therapeutics, discovered that staying in a "safe" job was actually the riskiest move of all. His mentor's profound insight - "You risk never knowing what could be" - changed everything. In this compelling episode, Dr. Lewis shares his evolution from practicing physician to biotech entrepreneur, driven by a desire to help populations of patients rather than individuals one at a time. From developing the first FDA-approved monoclonal antibody for HIV treatment to founding his own company focused on revolutionary cancer therapy, his journey demonstrates what happens when you align your career with your true purpose. About Our Guest Dr. Stanley Lewis is the founder and CEO of A28 Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a targeted lytic peptide platform for treating cancer. Prior to founding A28 Therapeutics, he served as Chief Medical Officer at TaiMed Biologics, where he led the team that developed Trogarzo - the first FDA-approved monoclonal antibody for treating drug-resistant HIV disease. Dr. Lewis earned his Medical Degree and Masters in Public Health from the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. As a Black, cisgender, heterosexual male who identifies as neurodivergent, he brings multiple intersectional perspectives to his leadership in biotechnology. He's also a dedicated mentor who actively supports the next generation of diverse scientists entering the biotech space. The Transformative Mentor Moment One of the most powerful stories in this episode revolves around the conversation that changed Dr. Lewis's career trajectory. When he was wrestling with whether to leave academic medicine for biotech, his mentor delivered wisdom that cuts to the heart of career decision-making: "The more risky job is to stay at the university... You risk never knowing what could be." When Dr. Lewis protested that he was successful and on the tenure track, his mentor made an observation that stopped him cold: "You're unhappy here." The proof? "Because you're asking me this question." That night, Dr. Lewis wrote his resignation letter. Two years later, everything he feared happened - the biotech company was acquired and he was out of a job. But he never looked back, because that "risky" decision set him on a path to develop life-changing medications. From Individual Care to Population Impact Dr. Lewis's shift from clinical practice wasn't just a career change - it was a fundamental reimagining of how he could serve patients. "I wanted to go beyond just helping one patient at a time and be able to help populations of patients," he explains. His public health training opened his eyes to this broader impact, but it was his frustration with toxic HIV medications that provided the catalyst. "I would ask over and over, why don't we have better medications for treating these patients?" he recalls. "And then I realized, if someone's going to make better medications for these patients, it's going to need to be me." Dr. Lewis's Three Guiding Principles Throughout his career transitions and drug development work, Dr. Lewis has refined three core principles that guide both his professional and personal decisions: First, Do No Harm - Creating medications that are safe and well-tolerated should be the foundation of all medical interventions Listen to Nature - The closer our interventions are to how the body naturally heals itself, the better tolerated and more effective they'll be Keep It Simple - While the industry often embraces complexity, simple solutions usually work better and have fewer failure points Essential Career Wisdom for the Next Generation Dr. Lewis offers particularly valuable advice for professionals navigating career transitions and scientists considering entrepreneurship: On Self-Discovery: "Only you know what makes you feel good, only you know what makes you feel alive and fulfilled. That's a personal question, and it requires a very personal inventory." On Networking and Circulation: "Preparation is to performance as circulation is to luck. The more you circulate, the more favorable things will happen to you." For Scientists of Color in Biotech: The funding landscape relies heavily on relationships and networking. "You cannot do it alone... You really do have to get out there and get to know folks." On Evolution Over Safety: Don't fear career transitions or the unknown. Sometimes staying in an unfulfilling situation because it seems "safe" is actually the riskiest choice you can make.

Dean sent a separate email but for the sake of visibility I am replying on this thread with the opener text and the audio file.  If we could get this ready for publishing would be great.With nearly three decades at BlackRock, Mitch Garfin brings a deep well of experience to his role as Co-head of Leveraged Finance, overseeing high yield and leveraged loan strategies for the firm. In this episode, we explore the evolution of the credit landscape — from structural shifts in the high-yield market that leave indices of higher credit quality to managing risk in a world of tight spreads but always shifting macro narratives.Mitch shares how his team navigates dispersion, with recent focus on considering the implication of tariffs on different sectors. His team positioned for tariff-related volatility by reducing exposure to sectors like autos and consumer products perceived as most exposed to trade policy risk. Conversely, Mitch saw better value in the tech and insurance sectors.Next, we discuss advancements in trading technology and the implications for liquidity. Here, he argues that the electronification of credit markets and the growth in portfolio trading is having profound impact on risk transfer, reducing frictions and transaction costs. In the process, he shares how his team leverages tools like ETFs and the CDX product to manage exposure.I hope you enjoy this episode of the Alpha Exchange, my conversation with Mitch Garfin.

This episode of The Leveraged Practice Podcast explores a crucial question for private practice owners: Does your practice need a passive income product or a passive income product suite?  With the rapidly changing landscape of healthcare, education, and how people consume information, creating passive income streams has become more relevant than ever. Stephanie Claremont, CEO and founder of The Leveraged Practice, breaks down why the answer is a resounding yes and shares actionable insights on building these products to enhance your practice.     In This Episode, You'll Learn: What is a Passive Income Product? Understand what a passive income product is and how it can benefit your private practice. From digital downloads like workbooks and guides to self-study courses, there are many ways to create products that generate income without ongoing time investment. Why Your Practice Needs Passive Income Products: Align with Modern Learning Trends: People are increasingly learning online through affordable and convenient products. Stand Out as an Expert: Don't let less qualified individuals dominate your field—your expertise is needed! Create Flexibility and Reduce Burnout: By supplementing your income with passive products, you can reduce your one-on-one workload and avoid burnout. Who Are Passive Income Products For? People with budget constraints who can't afford one-on-one services. Those who are short on time and prefer the convenience of self-paced learning. Clients for whom your service isn't a massive priority but still need guidance. Individuals seeking accessible and lower-risk ways to engage with your expertise. Real-World Example: I share my journey from creating my first online program in 2013, generating $7,000, to publishing a book called The IBS Master Plan. This experience showed me the power of passive products in helping more people while reducing my workload. The First Step Strategy: How passive products serve as a "first step" for potential clients, lowering the barrier to entry and building trust, ultimately leading to more significant opportunities, such as group programs or one-on-one services.     Key Takeaways: Passive income products are not just an opportunity but a necessity for health professionals in 2025 and beyond. They help you build a more sustainable practice, reach a broader audience, and create a better work-life balance. These products also offer a solution for clients who need flexibility, affordability, and convenience.     Join the Healthcare Impact Academy: If you're ready to create your own online programs, courses and passive income products, I invite you to check out the Healthcare Impact Academy Membership.
