In this second episode of a two-episode interview, host David Mandell continues his conversation with Corey Kleinschmidt, an industry veteran in the locum tenens space.  The episode kicks off with a recap of Part 1 and a reintroduction to Cory's extensive background in the industry, including his work with Jackson Healthcare and his current role at Locumpedia. The focus then shifts to actionable steps for physicians considering locum—starting with educating themselves through resources like Locumpedia's No BS Guide and connecting with other providers who've already taken the plunge. Cory outlines the importance of understanding the business side of locums, emphasizing that physicians are essentially independent contractors. This means getting smart about taxes, possibly forming an LLC, and making strategic choices about which agencies to partner with. He explains how working with staffing firms can simplify everything from job placement to credentialing and malpractice coverage, while also highlighting the variability in agency models—some being high-touch and others more transactional. Licensing and credentialing are also critical topics covered in this episode. Cory discusses the value of multi-state licensing and the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC), as well as how staffing firms often assist in navigating these hurdles. The conversation wraps up with a look at contracts, pay structures, and what to expect in terms of housing, travel reimbursement, and malpractice coverage. David and Cory underscore the importance of doing your homework to ensure a successful and rewarding locum tenens experience. KEY INSIGHTS: The No BS Guide on Locumpedia is a comprehensive starting point for understanding locum tenens. Locumpedia's “Locum CME” news roundup keeps physicians up to date on trends, including how AI is shaping the field. Talking to other physicians with locum experience can offer real-world insight into the pros and cons. Most physicians working locums are classified as independent contractors and should understand how this affects taxes and benefits. Many physicians form LLCs to optimize tax deductions and liability protection. Staffing firms play a central role in matching physicians to opportunities and handling all non-clinical logistics. There are over 200 locum tenens agencies, so it's important to research and vet potential partners through reviews and referrals. The Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC) can simplify multi-state licensing for qualified physicians. Staffing firms often provide malpractice insurance, travel and housing—details that should be reviewed in the contract. Contracts typically include compensation terms, responsibilities, reimbursement policies, and clauses like noncompetes and cancellation terms.

Earlier this week, Pool Magazine reported that the Florida Swimming Pool Association (FSPA) released an urgent alert regarding SB 712 — a bill amendment that would have allowed general and building contractors to construct wet pool deck areas. Thanks to swift action and strong advocacy from FSPA, the harmful language was successfully stripped from the amendment, protecting licensed pool contractors and preserving important industry standards. But just as that victory was secured, another — even more serious — threat emerged. House Bill 991 aims to dismantle the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) and eliminate continuing education (CE) requirements for contractors across the state of Florida. In this powerful and eye-opening episode of the Pool Magazine Podcast, we sit down with Dallas Thiesen, Chief Government Relations Officer for FSPA.Thiesen explains how this late-session legislative push could dramatically impact Florida's pool contractors — and the entire construction industry. We dive deep into the dangers of HB 991, a controversial proposal that threatens consumer protection, contractor accountability, and the future of Florida's swimming pool standards. Learn how FSPA is leading the fight to preserve licensure, maintain education requirements, and rally the pool and spa industry to stand united against deregulation.Read in Pool Magazine: A Series of Bad Bills Puts Florida Pool Industry in JeopardySend us a textFlorida Swimming Pool AssociationThe FSPA represents pool and spa professionals and promotes industry standards statewide in Florida.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Is Selective Licensing a Headache for Letting Agents? Here's What You Need to Know! Selective licensing is becoming a bigger issue for letting agents in 2025, and it's something you can't afford to ignore. In this episode, I'm joined by Des Taylor, the bossman of Landlord Licensing and Defence, to break down what's changing and how it impacts your business. With the recent changes to regulations, councils now have more freedom to apply selective licensing. This means more areas could be affected, and letting agents might not even realise the full implications until it's too late. Des shares insights on the most common mistakes letting agents make when agreeing to licensing conditions and what could go wrong if they're not careful. It's essential that you understand how these new rules can impact your properties and your responsibilities as an agent. If selective licensing comes to your area, Des advises on how you can make your voice heard during consultations and the steps you need to take to protect your business. This isn't just a legal matter—it could have serious financial and operational consequences. Don't miss out on this important conversation. Listen now, leave your thoughts, and share your experiences with us!

Globally, licensing is a $365 billion business. The U.S. comprises about 60% of the market. Kristen McLean, senior executive director, The Circana Entertainment Knowledge Group, takes listeners into the world of licensing. Hear insight into the elements of successful licensing deals and what to consider when partnering with another brand. Highlights: There are four main types of licensing: character, personality or lifestyle, co-branded, and limited-time offer (LTO). 11% of licensing involves food, both CPG and foodservice. Successful licensing should include brands that overlap in appeal, but also work to expand the audience for both brands. Before diving into licensing, validation is critical. Consumer research can help ensure a licensing idea resonates with the target audience.

After taking a short break to finish my second book, I'm now delighted to be doing what I'm most passionate about, which is seeing women one-on-one to co‑create a holistic health span and general wellness plan. I am licensed to practice medicine in both Texas and California, so if you live in either one of those states, or can come to either state, I can't wait to see you! Licensing laws say that if you are physically sitting in either one of those states for our visit, we are obeying all of the rules. (For patients in other states, you can absolutely schedule a visit with one of my providers in a coaching and education capacity.) With so much information available, it can seem overwhelming to try to optimize our nutrition, movement, hormones, cardiac and neurological wellness, body composition, sleep, emotional and sexual wellness... It can all seem like too much! In our series of three visits, we will create a manageable plan that you can move forward with confidently, and be successful in designing the life that you truly want for your remaining few decades. Here's how it works: First visit: A registered nurse will gather all of your data regarding your medical history, vital signs, symptoms, and wishes. She will also arrange for your blood to be drawn. Second visit: Once your bloodwork is returned, you'll spend 90 minutes one-on-one with me! Third visit: Six to eight weeks later, we'll check in to see how everything is going and adjust as needed. After the third visit, we will regroup and see if your plan is clear—or if you need more support—and my team is here for that too! Email appointments@completemidlifewellness.com, and I can't wait to see YOU!

On this episode, host Pete Moore dives into the cutting-edge world of regenerative medicine and longevity with guests Howard Leonhardt, founder of Leonhardt Ventures and Lionheart Health, and Scott Hoots, an expert in health and wellness franchising. Leonhardt is an innovative medical entrepreneur whose journey started in 1982 with the founding of Leonhardt Ventures, the parent of Lionheart Health and Lionheart Longevity and Wellness. Over the decades, Leonhardt has pioneered groundbreaking medical inventions—most notably in combining stem cells with bioelectronic stimulation to assist in regenerating parts of the heart muscle. Since launching this research in 1988, Leonhardt has raised and invested more than $150 million, driving clinical trials in collaboration with over 50 leading research centers worldwide, including the Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic. To date, over 600,000 patients have been treated using technologies developed by Leonhardt, whose inventions have generated more than $1.7 billion in annual revenues for their acquirers. With regards to turning back the clock on aging, Howard states, "Lionheart Health technologies basically, in short, helps in regenerating your body twenty years, and that includes skin, hair, sexual health, and joint health. That is our goal for our clinics. That is our goal for our products, and we have 500 patent claims protecting that very unique technology." Key themes discussed Longevity and regenerative health technologies to help reverse aging. Lionheart Health's patented EMS suits and stimulators. Business models: Licensing, franchising, and commercialization strategies. Clinical results and patented protein expression stimulation. Integration opportunities for med spas and fitness operators. Investment options in Lionheart Health and related ventures. Challenges of competing with traditional pharma solutions. A few key takeaways:  1. Lionheart Health's Unique Regenerative Technology: Howard Leonhardt's team has developed technology that combines stem cells and bioelectric stimulation to aid in regenerate tissue and reverse aging signs. Their EMS suits and stimulators are patented to specifically induce the production of proteins—like klotho and follistatin—that are associated with longevity and age reversal. 2. Clinical Results and Diverse Applications: Lionheart Health's approaches are already well-tested: Over 600,000 patients have been treated with related technologies, and the team has run FDA trials and partnerships with top institutions (Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, etc.) Applications extend beyond muscle and joint health to skin, hair, and sexual health—essentially offering full-body rejuvenation. 3. Business Model-Licensing and Franchising: The team is rolling out Lionheart Health through both licensing and franchising. Existing med spas, EMS studios, or wellness clinics can license these suits and stimulators, differentiating their business and adding high-value longevity services. Franchise opportunities will open up more broadly in 2025, with flexible models to suit different markets. 4. Revenue Potential and Clinic Setup: Licensing starts at $40,000 for a dedicated suite, with ongoing royalties. The professional EMS suits for clinics range in cost; most studios operate on a membership basis, with clients attending regular sessions (e.g., twice weekly for 4-12 weeks.) The company has plans for significant expansion, targeting over 100 licensed/franchised locations in the coming years. 5. Vision-Competing with Traditional Solutions: Lionheart is directly challenging “big pharma” and traditional approaches (like pill-based ED solutions), offering regenerative, non-pharmaceutical interventions. They're participating in major longevity challenges (such as the $101 million XPRIZE for healthspan), aiming to drastically improve muscle, brain, and immune health—potentially reversing aging by 20 years for participants.

In this episode of Game Changers, Jackson Vaughan explores the rising power of IP licensing in today's gaming landscape—why it's becoming essential for discoverability, and how developers are using it to drive growth across mobile, PC, and console.We unpack the challenges facing studios today, from rising ad costs to shrinking visibility, and spotlight how familiar brands and characters can give games a vital edge. With examples from Monopoly Go! to Scopely's billion-dollar strategy, we look at how licensed IP is helping developers cut through the noise, reach high-value players, and extend a game's lifecycle.Plus, we dive into the growing trend of major IP holders like Disney and LEGO partnering with trusted studios instead of building in-house—and why that's a smart play in a high-risk market.In a world of endless content, IP isn't just a shortcut to attention—it's a serious business strategy.Liked what you heard?
