Send us Fan MailMike Preshman didn't start out planning to build a 220-unit multifamily portfolio. With a background in computer science and tech entrepreneurship, his entry into real estate began almost accidentally—with a vacation home on Cape Cod.That first property opened his eyes to the income potential of real estate. He added more vacation rentals before realizing that the model was difficult to scale. Over the next decade, Mike shifted toward multifamily properties throughout Greater Boston and the Northeast, ultimately building his portfolio without bringing in outside equity investors.In this episode of Weiss Advice, Mike explains why his strategy has centered on cash flow, downside protection, and owning assets that can be held for the long term rather than relying on appreciation and a future sale.He also shares the contrarian philosophy behind his investing: “Be a cat when everybody's a dog.” When investors pile into the hottest markets and strategies, Mike would rather look for opportunities others are overlooking.The conversation goes beyond real estate into decision-making, masterminds, poker, asymmetric risk, and why successful investing requires being comfortable making decisions when the outcome is uncertain. Mike also explains how his definition of success has evolved—and why building wealth today is increasingly tied to a much bigger mission.Timestamps00:52 – Mike's journey from tech entrepreneur to real estate investor 01:56 – The accidental vacation rental that started everything 07:15 – Why Mike wants “generational assets” instead of playing real estate “hot potato” 12:19 – “Be a cat when everybody's a dog”: Mike's contrarian investing philosophy 15:00 – Masterminds, surrounding yourself with growth-minded people, and avoiding shiny objects 19:51 – What poker taught Mike about investing and decision-making under uncertainty 21:55 – Avoiding paralysis by analysis and taking risks that won't wipe you out 27:17 – Asymmetric risk: protecting the downside while preserving the upside 30:45 – What success means to Mike today 32:49 – The ambitious lifetime giving goal that became Mike's North StarMike's story is a reminder that building wealth doesn't necessarily require following the hottest market, raising large amounts of outside capital, or constantly selling assets. Sometimes the bigger opportunity comes from thinking independently, protecting the downside, and building something you're comfortable owning for decades.Connect with Mike:https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-preshman-4347a31/LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW by clicking this link.WHERE CAN I LEARN MORE?Be sure to follow me on the below platforms:Subscribe to the podcast on Apple, Spotify, Google, or Stitcher.LinkedInYoutubeExclusive Facebook Groupwww.yonahweiss.comNone of this could be possible without the awesome team at Buzzsprout.

Do you need to change where you are to get closer to the opportunities that could change your life? In this episode, Lori and I talk about the power of proximity and why being around the right people can create opportunities, relationships, and collaborations that are difficult to access from a distance. We share why living where opportunity is can accelerate your growth, but why it means nothing if you're not in an environment where you can thrive and be your best self. Get ready to rethink where you are, who you're around, and what it could take to reach your next level.   HIGHLIGHTS How proximity to the right people can accelerate your growth. Why living near opportunity creates access to unexpected collaborations. The balance between thriving where you live and being where opportunity is. Why Lori and I believe you have to put in your time to build a lifelong network. How to capture 80% of proximity through events and travel if relocating isn't an option. Why stepping into uncomfortable rooms changes your life faster than staying in your comfort zone.   RESOURCES Join my Found Trips: DM @chriswharder on Instagram to learn more and secure a spot.

Today, we talk with Phil and Trish Calandra, CEO and Co-Founder of TruWealth Advisors, to break down the key to generate revenue, build long-term wealth, and become work optional.

Episode Summary In this episode of the Work At Home Rockstar Podcast, Tim sits down with copywriter and marketing strategist Rachel Allen of Bolt From The Blue Copywriting. Rachel takes us back to 2008, when she landed in Hong Kong with about $200 in her bank account, no work visa, and a journalism degree that wasn't landing her a job back home. A quick Google search for "how to make money online" led her to copywriting, and she's never looked back. The conversation doesn't stop at the success story. Rachel opens up about a rough stretch where she went three years without filing taxes across two countries, and how untangling that mess led her to build financial habits she still uses today. Tim and Rachel dig into why so many entrepreneurs avoid looking at their own numbers, and why you don't have to be a math person to run a healthy business. From there, they cover how Rachel sets up a productive home office no matter where in the world she's living, the role masterminds and coaches have played in her growth, and her newer book-outlining offer that helps clients finish their books in months instead of years. They close things out with Rachel's honest, grounded take on AI in the writing world, and of course, her favorite band. Who is Rachel Allen? Rachel Allen is a fast-thinking, deeply nerdy marketer with broad-ranging experience in for-profit and non-profit sectors. She's written for some of the biggest (and smallest) names in business, and excels at marketing that's equal parts data-driven and human-centered. Having run a marketing business for 17 years with clients in over 21 countries, Rachel's worked with some of the top names in entrepreneurship, as well as influencers, brick-and-mortar businesses, and non-profits around the world. Her work has contributed directly to high-ROI launches, leaps in audience engagement, industry awards, relationships with top venture capital firms, and national-level honors. On the show, Rachel shared how she built her business from scratch after stranding herself in Hong Kong during the 2008 recession, and how she's grown it into Bolt From The Blue Copywriting — where, as she puts it, "if it's words that make money, I do it." That includes copywriting, book editing (she's edited 19 books), a book-outlining coaching offer, and a branding collaboration she runs with a fellow specialist.

What if your business doesn't need more offers, more content, or more complicated strategies to make more money? In this episode, Lori and I break down the 4 pillars we believe need to work together to build a million dollar offer. We talk about why trying to sell too many things creates confusion, how to make your messaging specific enough to stop the scroll, why visibility is about getting the right message in front of more people, and how knowing your numbers makes a million dollars feel much more achievable. Tune in to learn how to get these 4 pillars working together and build an offer that can produce a million dollars on your own timeline.   HIGHLIGHTS The major shift we're making from a generalized mastermind to the Million Dollar Offer. Why trying to solve too many problems makes your offer harder to sell. How to simplify your offer suite and focus your external messaging. Why trying to talk to everyone causes people to scroll right past you. The difference between messaging and visibility, and why you need both. What it really means to "go pro" with your visibility and content. The $1,000 from 1,000 people framework for building a million dollar offer. Why knowing exactly what you're launching and when is essential for predictable revenue.   RESOURCES Want to join me for four days up the Southern California coast?

Even if you think your nonprofit is doing well, we've found you could be doing much better. However, most nonprofits don't have a clear development strategy that keeps them grounded.

Ze deelt o.a. hoe ze klanten jarenlang bindt, hoe ze met haar weggever tóch direct omzet maakt, en waarom ze er 10.000 euro voor over had om niet over te stappen naar buitenlandse software. Tijdens het gesprek kwamen we er ook achter dat ongeveer 10% van alle 1M awardwinnaars uit haar coaching kwam! Een paar maanden geleden keken wij welke checkouts in Plug&Pay het beste presteerden. De uitkomst: de checkouts met de meeste massa én met de beste kassakoopje-conversie hadden exact dezelfde formule op de pagina. Afkomstig van... Willemien!

What if the business model that made you successful last year is already becoming obsolete? I recently joined a call with some incredibly successful entrepreneurs to give feedback on a proven business owner's new idea. The concept sounded valuable, but almost everyone on the call saw the same major problem: AI had already made the information he wanted to sell available for virtually free. In this episode, I break down the feedback we gave him and the lens I believe every entrepreneur needs to run their business through right now. I share why people are increasingly paying for implementation instead of information, how to determine whether your business has a real "moat" that AI and competitors can't easily replicate, and why I believe the human experience and human connection economy represents a massive opportunity. You'll learn how to combine your existing expertise with experiences, relationships, and implementation to create something customers will still happily invest in, even as AI changes the rules of business faster than ever.   HIGHLIGHTS The business test that reveals whether AI could make your current offer obsolete. What customers are willing to pay for now that information is becoming virtually free. How to make your business harder for AI and competitors to copy. How to know whether you're building a lifestyle business or something with true enterprise value. The shift that can turn an easily copied idea into an offer customers actually want. Where customers are increasingly investing their dollars as AI accelerates. How to use the expertise you already have to compete in the human connection economy.   RESOURCES Use code CHRIS and save $1,000 on your custom social media strategy with The Brand LAB HERE!

In this "Quick Take" episode of Blue Collar Millionaire's podcast, Chris, Kevin and Josh Yudin debate whether common business concepts are overrated or underrated for blue-collar entrepreneurs. They call team meetings overrated without a clear post-meeting plan, and say company culture is underrated, while mission statements and the words "core values" are often overrated unless actively practiced.  They discuss door knocking as uncomfortable but powerful when done with a plan, and argue SEO is cluttered and often overrated. They emphasize wrapped trucks as legitimacy and a milestone as revenue grows, and say masterminds, overseas virtual assistants, profit sharing, KPIs, knowing the right numbers, early focused work time, and learning via podcasts/audiobooks are underrated. They view AI as overrated without experts, exits to private equity as rare and difficult, and work-life balance as overrated if you love the work. 01:08 Meetings Culture Values  02:14 Door Knocking Debate 03:05 SEO and Wrapped Trucks 04:08 Masterminds and Hiring Friends 05:22 Overseas Talent Incentives 07:07 Coaches KPIs Numbers 08:14 Benefits and Early Mornings 10:54 Learning and AI Hype 11:45 Build to Exit Reality 14:10 Work-Life Balance Myth Subscribe to Blue Collar Millionaire for honest conversations about building, scaling, and leading a successful blue-collar business.

Are you still trying to make something work simply because it used to work? In this episode, Lori and I talk about why the people, opportunities, and income streams in your life aren't always meant to stay forever, and why resisting that reality can keep you stuck. We share stories about friendships that evolved, business models that stopped working, and the importance of backfilling what changes instead of staying stuck in the past. Tune in to learn how to recognize when it's time to let something evolve, and keep moving forward without losing sight of what you already have.   HIGHLIGHTS Why life and business are always a revolving door. How to enjoy people and opportunities while you have them. Why friendships often change as your life and priorities evolve. How to backfill what changes instead of getting stuck in the past. Why your next opportunity may come from a completely different direction. How the right rooms can help you find new people, ideas, and opportunities.   RESOURCES Want to join me for four days up the Southern California coast?

A New Chapter: Leadership, Wellness & What's Next - Conrad Weaver Something new is coming — and it's been in the works for quite some time. In this special edition of the First Responder Wellness Podcast, host Conrad Weaver steps away from the normal interview format to share two major announcements about the future of First Responder Wellness Solutions — and why leadership has become such an important part of the mission. After years of bringing PTSD911 to agencies and communities across the country and having conversations with first responders, families, clinicians, and command staff, one thing has become increasingly clear: If we want healthier first responders, we need healthy leaders. That conviction is driving two new initiatives designed to equip first responder leaders to lead better, live healthier, and create cultures that thrive under pressure. The First Responder Leadership Podcast Launching September 1, the new First Responder Leadership Podcast begins with four powerful conversations with first responder leaders who have experienced the realities of leadership firsthand. These aren't conversations about leadership theory. They're honest discussions with people who have led through crisis, made difficult decisions, learned from failure, navigated organizational challenges, and discovered what it takes to lead themselves and others well. The podcast will explore topics including: Leadership under pressure Building healthier organizational cultures Leading through crisis and adversity Personal wellness and self-leadership Difficult decisions and lessons learned Developing the next generation of first responder leaders The first four episodes drop September 1. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts and share the show with another first responder leader. The First Responder Leadership Network Conrad also officially introduces the First Responder Leadership Network — a growing leadership-development community created specifically for the realities of public safety leadership. The Network is being built as more than another source of leadership content. It's a place for leaders to learn, connect, grow, and have the conversations that don't always happen inside their own organizations. Members will have access to a growing ecosystem that includes: Leadership and wellness training courses Practical leadership resources Leadership Masterminds Conversations with experienced leaders and subject-matter experts Peer connection with leaders across public safety Leadership development opportunities The upcoming First Responder Leadership Summit The goal is simple: develop healthier leaders who can build healthier teams and stronger organizations. PTSD911 Continues While these new initiatives have been developing behind the scenes, the mission of PTSD911 continues. The film is still being brought to departments, conferences, associations, and communities around the country to create meaningful conversations about first responder mental health, wellness, organizational culture, and asking for help. If you'd like to bring PTSD911 to your agency or community, we'd love to work with you. Learn more about hosting a screening: PTSD911Movie.com/screenings One Mission The PTSD911 documentary, the First Responder Wellness Podcast, the new Leadership Podcast, the Leadership Network, Masterminds, training courses, and upcoming Summit aren't separate projects. They're part of one larger mission: Equip first responder leaders to lead better, live healthier, and create stronger, healthier cultures for the people they serve. Because leadership isn't simply about rank or title. It's about influence. It's about how you show up. It's about what you model. And sometimes the most important person you will ever learn to lead is yourself. In This Episode Conrad shares: Why leadership has become central to the mission What's coming with the First Responder Leadership Podcast Why the First Responder Leadership Network was created How leadership and wellness are inseparable What's ahead for Masterminds, training, and the Leadership Summit Why PTSD911 screenings remain an important part of the work The bigger vision connecting all of these initiatives First Responder Leadership Podcast: Launching September 1, 2026 PTSD911 Screenings: PTSD911Movie.com/screenings First Responder Leadership Network: Learn more and join the growing community of first responder leaders committed to leading better, living healthier, and building cultures that thrive under pressure.   +++++ Join us for the FREE Leadership Webinar on Tuesday, August 25!  Need Help?

In this episode, I break down the ONLY reason I believe is strong enough to carry you through the hard days. I share the story behind Frello, the $680 problem that started it all, and why I kept going even after we spent $2.5 million building a business that we had to pivot.

How to generate enough energy to get bigger than your problems. The $680 story that inspired the original idea for Frello. Why I kept going after spending $2.5 million on a business that had to pivot.

Do your arguments keep turning into bigger problems than they need to be? In this episode, Lori and I share the rules of engagement that have helped us navigate conflict, communicate better, and stay on the same team through 20 years together. We break down the tools we use to know when to pause, understand what really matters, replace blame with ownership, and make sure both people feel heard. Tune in to learn how to fight fair, communicate better, and come out of conflict stronger together.   HIGHLIGHTS The "1 to 10" scale that helps end unnecessary arguments. Why taking a pause can completely change the outcome of a conflict. How the "same team" mindset strengthens every relationship. The question that helps you understand instead of criticize. Why ownership statements are more effective than blame.

We are back with you today and to share some really fun things. I have Nikki here with me today. I love nothing more than podcasting with the other consultants on our team. And Nikki is a favorite, a fan favorite, and a Dental A Team   Nikki Mack (00:17) Yeah.   Tiffanie (00:18) favorite. Nikki, thank you so much for being here this morning for us and whatever time of day the listeners are listening. How are you today, Nikki?   Nikki Mack (00:26) I am good. I'm excited to be back too. I this has become one of my favorite parts of Dental A Team. and especially when I hear from doctors and listeners, my gosh, I heard you yesterday on the podcast. And it's fun to know that like while I get to have a good time with you, this really matters and it helps our listeners. So happy to be   Tiffanie (00:44) I love that.   Nikki Mack (00:45) here.   Tiffanie (00:46) I love that you walked into an office not that long ago and they said, my gosh, I just listened to you. I think it was that morning, right? You had a doctor that had said that.   Nikki Mack (00:52) Yeah. On   their way into the practice. So that was a how do you follow up yourself? Like that was a that's a tough act. Yeah.   Tiffanie (00:59) Yeah. Yeah. I gotta do a whole meeting. This is wild. I   love it. Yes, we have definitely built a cult following here and we love it. I know you actually you are working with an office who is one of our biggest podcast fans of all time. and it's a husband and wife duo and I won't say who they are, they know who they are because they're listening and she is just   one of the most amazing people I've ever met in my life. She's so sweet. And I am hoping that they're coming to the Masterminds as well. I'm pretty sure that they are. but I will be excited to see them. I know that's a podcast family for you as well. And it just makes it super fun and it kind of makes us feel like, okay, cool, they know me. And so it gives us an outlet and an opportunity for you listeners and you practices who work with us, practices who will work with us in the future. It gives us an opportunity to showcase who we are.   So that you and your teams kind of have an idea before we get to you, whether we're in office or whether we're virtual, just like this. And I think Nikki, you've experienced it now too. You've experienced both worlds, like going into practices obviously who've never heard us, and then going into practices who have heard us. And I think both of us can agree that those practices where the doctors love the podcast, have maybe found us through the podcast or or listen to it and then share it with their teams, those teams are like   almost a step ahead already. Their brains are ready, they're in that growth mindset and they really understand the angles that we come at consulting from. And I think that it really just helps us give that give that like extra footing to make progress. Do you feel the same, Nikki?   Nikki Mack (02:44) Absolutely, I agree. I think we've talked about this, I feel like in a previous podcast. I think in dentistry, fit matters so much, you know, that our team is the right fit, our patients are the right fit. And I think when it comes to consulting, you need to make sure that they're the right fit for your goals and your vision. and our podcast is just a nice way for listeners to, like you said, really get an understanding of who we are and and how we operate, you know, kind of what we're about. And so you really enter the relationship.   a step ahead 'cause we're like, okay, I know this, especially when they've seen us specifically, they already know what they're in for with me. So it's a pretty good start to the ride together for sure.   Tiffanie (03:25) I agree. I think one of my favorite pieces of you in general, but of our c whole consulting team, is that how we show up is like who we are. We don't really show up any differently. I might become a little peppier on stage. People will see   Nikki Mack (03:38) Mm-hmm.   Tiffanie (03:39) that than my normal everyday life. I might talk a little bit more. Erin probably disagrees, my fiance, but I think I talk a little bit more at work than I do at home. but no matter what, like our personality shines through and we are who we are. So then   practices, doctors, people, teams, they do know what to expect. And today I wanted to chat through some aspects and some different ways that we can pull doctor, we'll call it out of the weeds, right? Practice owners out of the weeds. And I think this is actually a huge segue into that because I think sharing your goals, dreams, aspirations, and sharing the things that are helping you feel connected to dentistry or your business or   your systems, things that you've learned that you want to implement, or just really you're like, gosh, I really love these ladies' personalities and I want like some semblance of that kind of culture in my practice. So taking things like this and sharing it with your team is really a great way, Nikki, I think to step that first foot into pulling themselves out of the weeds of being like the one, right?   The one that has to make all the changes, the one that has to make all the decisions, and really just like totally in the weeds of the business, the dentistry, the HR, the people, the team, that like all of the pieces and they're trying to hold all this together, but sharing that I know in our company is specifically with the consultants, we share constantly, we share different things we've heard or listened to or   different podcasters or books, things like that, because it helps to build our culture and helps to keep us closer together. So with that, Nikki, what do you feel like what would that do for a practice or how do you think that it helps a doctor to pull themselves out of the weeds when they do share different things like that? Whether it's this podcast, a different one, could be completely non-dental. How do you think that helps them to set their team up for success to be able to pull out?   Nikki Mack (05:38) Yeah, I think sometimes we get so caught up in that leadership position with our team that we think it's just office focused, you know, making them a better dental assistant or a better office manager or better treatment coordinator. But I think when you look back on some of your best jobs and experiences and cultures, it's where they also work to help develop you as a person. And that's where I think some of these come into play. a lot of these books and podcasts and   Things that even we talk about sometimes I've never heard of them. You know, I'm like, my gosh. And then it's on my regular rotation, a favorite. So the same can be said for your team members. They may not even realize some of these resources are there. And when you share that with them, it creates a different type of connection. like you said, it helps them understand. Like, if I'm like, my gosh, this is my favorite podcast, here's what I took from it today, it helps you relate to them.   And then sometimes it just gives those pieces and it's like, wow, okay, we really are working for this goal, right? We really are trying to get to the next level. And I love things I get at work that I can apply to my personal life because there's a lot. It happens a lot.   Tiffanie (06:45) Mm-hmm.   I agree. And I think too, as you're speaking, I'm thinking of how like different people hear things differently, right? So one podcast, I might hear a certain message and it might be there. You might hear that message too, but you might hear it in a different angle or from a different perspective or apply it differently. And per position too, a dentist and a business owner might hear a marketing podcast and think overarching marketing and like how do we do all of these pieces?   And then you pass it along to a treatment coordinator or an office manager and they're like, cool, I could apply it in this way with my verbiage to my patients. And so like wherever we're sitting, we get to spin it for that perspective and how it's gonna suit us the best. And I think that that makes a massive difference. And pulling ourselves out of the weeds, well, and right there, right? Sending it to an office manager or treatment coordinator, it's like, who is your team? Right? Who are the people that you count on?   at your practice, at your business, who are the people boots on the ground who are there supporting you. And how can you allow them to support you in your journey and be that show up as that leader? You said Nikki, like the leaders in the practice. And sometimes I think doctors silo themselves and think they have to be the one or they have to do it all. But farming some of that responsibility out to the leaders within the practice or the count it on   team members, I think Nikki, you've got a couple teams that are like a handful of people, right? We've got like seven, eight team members.   Nikki Mack (08:16) Yeah.   Tiffanie (08:16) You might not have a leadership team, right? Because like you got seven people, what are you going to do? Pull full four departments up and now they're managing each person's managing one person. So you might not have that full leadership team, but how are these people countable, right? How are you counting on them? And how can you share that culture and that experience and ideas with them?   Nikki Mack (08:40) Yeah. Well, and I think a key thing that we forget a lot, especially as leaders in a practice, sometimes our systems systems are   Tiffanie (08:49) Mm.   Nikki Mack (08:50) created or adapted because of an outlying like thing going on in the practice. We're short staffed, someone's out on leave, right? These things that are going on. But a lot of times we get ourselves in the habit of never shifting back or never reevaluating. So when we get   really stuck in those weeds, I think what happens is that allows us to have these not bad systems, but just they're not efficient, right? They're the things that really bog us down or make us feel really exhausted at the end of the day, but we don't have the opportunity to step back and say, could this be done differently? What should I do? Then when we take that moment, get ourselves out of those weeds, and it's like, my gosh, I not only do I not have to own this, it's better if I don't. There's someone on my team   that's better qualified for it, that should handle that and run in a sense that interference. And it's relearning ourselves how to redirect those people or those issues or those tasks. And then also that's when we have to kind of retrain our team. That's where the leadership comes out, that we are able to say, hey, I can see this clearly and I'm confident that this is a better direction. Here's how we execute it, right? And hold them accountable to it. Don't just take it back on because you're used to it.   but sometimes it takes something, a podcast or a book or a conversation to have that aha moment and realize, this is really like kind of slogging my day down. I shouldn't own this. This could be done better. So having that opportunity to see it through different eyes, it can change so much.   Tiffanie (10:28) I agree. I agree. And I do have practices as they were say saying all this, I'm thinking, how many times have we been asked how do I need to pay them for this to listen to this thing or learn this thing? And we've got our online courses that a lot of practices utilize and we get asked that a lot. Like that's totally up to you guys. We don't have a say in that. but they you know, or practices that say they send it and they don't listen to it, right? And so they're just like beaten down and they start to feel   upset by it or hammered down and like why do I even bother? Do I have the right people? And I think Nikki within that is more of an expectation. And what that leads me to is what is the expectation of each position? And then what's the expectation of that person within that position? So do we have job descriptions? I know we talk about these a lot. We talk about them   Nikki Mack (11:19) Yeah.   Tiffanie (11:20) a lot because they really, really matter. Clarity is everything. Clarity is everything in life. In a world of chaos and a sea of crazy   If we can bring clarity to something, why wouldn't we? Right? It seems wild to say, meh, I just don't feel like it when we could bring some clarity. So if there's clarity to these positions, these these team members know this position means this thing. This is what I do, this is how I show up, these are the tasks that I do. But really a job description is how do I present myself within this seat? How does this seat show up for this practice and what are the goals within that?   So then layering in those expectations too of that personal development. Like, is it built into your culture? And did you do it without seeing why you're doing it? Right? Did you send the podcast like, hey, take a listen to this? You might enjoy it. And they're like, okay, cool. Maybe one day, right? It's on the back burner. This thing is more important. Or did you say, hey, I love growing and learning? And I truly want that to be an aspirational part of our culture.   in our community here at this practice. So from time to time, I might send you little tidbits. I'm gonna tell you why, like what my favorite takeaway was, why I think it's relevant to you, to your position, to your life, if you'll take a listen or read it, right? You can sign up for newsletters, send them a newsletter, send them the Dental A Team newsletter, like whatever that might be, but did you have a description of how they're supposed to show up so that when they see this thing come through, they're like, cool.   That could help me with my team member one on ones. Like I have to do my doc's asking me to do one on ones and I don't understand them yet. This podcast looks like it might help me with that. But not setting those expectations and just flippantly being like, Well, I've sent them the things. I've asked them to do book club with me and nobody wants to. Yeah, well, I'm not a dental nerd either. Like   Nikki Mack (13:17) Yeah.   Tiffanie (13:18) I love dentistry because of where it's gotten me in life. I think it's an amazing   amazing industry. and I I do love dentistry, but I'm not on my off hours listening to a ton of dental podcasts. I'm just not. There's a couple that are floating in there because I need the the continuing education I need to be relevant as well. But I love emotional intelligence. I love, you know, I I love listening to Andrew Huberman, right? And there's so many different things that even in those other podcasts are so applicable.   to business, to relationships, to dentistry, making sure that we figure out what is our style, what is our culture and what are the expectations and then setting those with people, I think make a massive difference, Nikki.   Nikki Mack (14:02) I agree. And I think this is where it comes down to. We talk a lot about I think strong leadership comes to knowing your team, right? And understanding   Tiffanie (14:09) Mm-hmm.   Nikki Mack (14:09) who you have with you and kind of what those desires or those goals are. I know in one practice that I managed, that was a part of our annual reviews. Like, what's a professional goal for you? And then like what's a personal goal? Because if there was anything we could do to kind of support that, and it also benefited the practice or their you know growth as a team member.   Absolutely, why wouldn't we? And then you kind of know how to approach it. So if you know that there's a tip who's less dental nerd, right, then some of that stuff, that's not who you send that podcast to. On the flip side, full disclosure, such a nerd. I did not do back office. All my teens have heard my spiel. I'll save it. It's our little internal secret. But man, do I love some of the nerdy stuff.   Brit and Dana and I actually got to attend a local event here in Arizona a few months ago and do some CE. And when we were comparing what courses we had signed up for, it was very much an aha moment for Brit to realize exactly the level of my nerdiness because I was like, Yeah, I can't wait to go listen to this. Like I just yeah, I I will pull a couple pearls and it will be amazing. and it actually was, and absolutely it was a little dry. Some people left, you know, this is what happens.   but that filled my bucket because it's it's your what motivates you, what drives you is what drives you, right? And then knowing that being able to tune into it is so important and it can sound overwhelming. I know someone is driving in their car right now thinking about, my gosh, now I have to personalize my podcast recommendations per team member. But I promise you it becomes so easy because when you lead with that type of style and you create that culture, this is not where I need you to calendar a task.   To look for podcasts for every team member. It's just gonna come organically and you're able to share those observations, share those pearls of wisdom. And that's how you get out of the weeds, right? We grow our team, we grow their abilities, and we are so aligned that that's what helps that clarity and that confidence because we're like one team, one dream, right? And we all know where that vision is. And this just helps to support it and and boost them up for sure.   Tiffanie (16:21) Yeah, I love that. And so then now we're working on that culture piece. We've got job descriptions clear, right? we've got our our culture piece really starting to fit. And I think that's where a lot of that trust comes into play. So then dentists and owners, they can say, Okay, I trust that this is going to happen. I trust that this team member does have my back. I have full support within them and I can give them this thing. So then we start trial and erroring it. And it's not to say   they didn't listen to the podcast. I can't, I can't give them something. I can't delegate. Like, no,   Nikki Mack (16:55) Right.   Tiffanie (16:56) just be realistic, right? What can you delegate over to them and like dip your toe in that water? Clear expectations on everything. So clear job descriptions, clarity around what does your culture need to look like, clear clarity around your goals, and then start delegating things off that you don't have to do. We like to say any tasks that don't require your brain.   Anything that somebody could do at 80% their level that could look very similar to what you want it to be, it might not be a hundred percent. Their hundred percent might be your eighty percent. but is that okay for this task? Start delegating those things off because that's how you get out of the weeds. Your clarity, your culture, and your delegation are how you get out of those weeds and then having that feedback system. And I think Nikki, within that, like you mentioned goals. I love a good three, five, ten year goal.   not easy to sit down and be like, what do I want in three years? What I want in 10 years. Like do some prompts, ask us, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. Like we're more than happy to help you dig into what those need to look like to work backwards. But when you have that vision, you have that goal, you know where you're going. Same with your culture. You know what you want your culture to look like. Now it's something that we can create. It's something that we can do together to reach those goals and get you pulled out of the weeds.   You talked, Nikki, about knowing the team members. And I think something that we've done really well with the Dental A team is as a virtual company, we've done a lot of like one-on-one time but group time at the same time. We have a lot of meetings. I I think there are companies that have more than us, but we do have a lot of meetings. But we do know each other. We get to know each other on a personal level. So like I was listening to a book the other day and I thought, my gosh, Christy.   Absolutely nothing to do with dentistry, not business, just like the idea, the premise of it was what you believe to be true will be true, right? Hands down, I believe that. And I thought, my gosh, Christy's gonna love this. So I send it to her, and within 30 seconds, she's like, I had an Audible credit, it's downloading right now. Thank you so much. Like, but I knew   Nikki Mack (19:06) Yeah.   Tiffanie (19:08) that was Christy, right? And I know.   Sometimes I'll pop something into the consultant chat that I'm like, hey ladies, this is actually really cool for business or for marketing. Or I'll be like, Nikki, this made me think of you. Or it's my like TikTok Instagram real friend that I like sending all those things, right?   Nikki Mack (19:23) Ha ha ha.   Tiffanie (19:24) But spending that one-on-one time together and really knowing each other, and it's not long. Like we get two 30 minute slots a month that's one on one with each other.   That's all that it takes and paying attention to one another on meetings and during different tasks, during different things, just paying attention to those pieces and who a person is really gives you key insights to what that could look like when you're sending something along like that. And Nikki, how do you see that? Like how can a dentist step back enough to see the people to be able to to see how can they create that culture to again get out of the weeds?   Nikki Mack (20:04) And I think some of it comes to the time that we dedicate to that culture, right? You   Tiffanie (20:09) Right.   Nikki Mack (20:09) know, do we have a morning huddle? do we check in with our team members? Do we have our one-on-ones? And if the doctor's not having it, does the OM check in with the doctor, right? On those one on ones? What's that kind of communication piece? How do we close that circle? Because it is those like random moments, those passing by. docs usually know so much about their DA because the things that'll   Tiffanie (20:32) Mm.   Nikki Mack (20:32) come up, right?   in a chair working with a patient and just utilizing those and kind of capitalizing on it because that's where it's so funny when we talk about like getting out of the weeds but weeds are different for everyone too right like based on your skill set and kind of your interest. So as you as a practice owner or a leader are looking at your team or maybe looking at your tasks that you could possibly delegate. And like maybe you're sitting there right now like   This eats up a lot of my time. And you're right, someone else could do this at 80%. Like I need to   Tiffanie (21:04) Mm-hmm.   Nikki Mack (21:05) let it go. Let's be smart about who we let it go to and using what we know. If I have someone who is like camera shy, hates being in the reels, hates being in the videos, you know, it's like that's not their jam, but they come up with them. They see the good ones, they see that content and they're handy with like the cameras, with the apps, with the social media.   Maybe that's my social media person because they get to film the reels, right? Takes   Tiffanie (21:32) Mm.   Nikki Mack (21:32) all the pressure off of them and they can just excel, plan for when we're gonna film them. And then I as an owner, I don't have to think about it, right? Because I've got things I could do differently. Same when it comes to some of our patient relationships or you know our strategic efforts. Who do I have that that they would own? It wouldn't be weeds for them. And then I can take it off of the plate. Who is? So it's super important to understand who you have.   And people show you who they are every day, the way we work together, the way we chat when we make our coffee before Huddle, you know, all of those kind   Tiffanie (22:05) Yeah.   Nikki Mack (22:06) of little opportunities. we just have to listen and kind of act on it. And also, I say this to doctors all the time ask. Just ask. Sometimes I'm   Tiffanie (22:16) Hm. I agree.   Nikki Mack (22:18) guilty of it myself in the past. I would be like, gosh, I don't know if Yara would actually be into this. Like, I think so.   And you you spend all this time like going back and forth on your mind because you feel like you should just know. But guess what? Like just go ask. Never has an employee been like, I can't believe the doctor asked how I feel about this. Why didn't they just know? Are you kidding? The ask is such a trust builder. So if we're not sure, ask. Ask a question. It's okay. Because clear is kind, right? And making sure that we know where we're coming from. That's what gives us the confidence as the leader to pass this on, to have clear expectations.   and   then have the appropriate follow-up because that's how it all ties together. For myself, one of the things I love about Dental A Team so much is that we don't just work with the doctor or the practice owner. We really do be have that opportunity to spend time with the team as well and making sure that everyone understands that full circle piece. My favorite thing is to remind them that like I am here to help keep you accountable. So we're not going to forget about this in two weeks. This is something we're going to give a real try.   real follow up and then have real conversations about how it's helping us. And that's a real benefit to finding the things that stick and being able to execute not just for the first couple of weeks. So   Tiffanie (23:35) I completely agree. I think that was a beautiful wrap. And if I had to pull action items out of what you just said, I hope doctors and listeners, you heard them as well. Job descriptions, clear as kind. Morning huddles, make sure that you're communicating every day on some level. And monthly one-on-ones. And I heard the other day they were called feedback sessions, and I really loved that. I was listening to a podcast,   Nikki Mack (23:59) I love that.   Tiffanie (24:00) non dental.   and she said that she called them feedback sessions and it was a feedback loop. It was how are you doing? How are we doing as a company? What are you loving? What are you hating? What's making your life difficult? Like what are blockers? And do you have any feedback from me as your lead? And I loved that because on a monthly basis that is way easier. Yearly reviews. I hate when offices wait till the yearly 'cause that's tied to a metric and like we're not a corporate we're not Wells Fargo. Like   Have a monthly one-on-one. So if I were to pull action items, it would be clear as kind, get those job descriptions, get those morning huddles in place. If they are in place, what can you do to spice them up a little bit this week? And where are your monthly one-on-ones? Where are you getting to know each team member individually, whether it's you or their office manager? And then I think my last piece would be really look at the things that you're doing every day, maybe journal.

What in your life is actually giving you energy, and what is quietly robbing you of it? In this episode, I'm continuing the conversation about life's halftime with one of the most powerful exercises I use personally and with my coaching clients to get objective clarity on what needs to stay, change, or go. The exercise is simple: list out the people, income sources, obligations, activities, and habits that make up your life, then rate each one from one to five. Five means it gives you life. One means it robs you of life. And here's the rule that makes this exercise so effective: you cannot choose three. I break down why removing the safe middle forces you to get honest, how I'm using this exact system to make major decisions in my own life and business, and the difference between a "one" you need to run from and a "two" that may still be salvageable. You'll walk away with a simple framework to stop accepting the things that drain you and intentionally build a life filled with more fours and fives.   HIGHLIGHTS 01:10 The recent experience that reminded me what may be the best thing money can buy. 02:20 The gratitude practice that shifts your focus from what's missing to how much you already have. 03:55 The 5 areas you need to audit during life's halftime. 06:15 How to actually quantify something as subjective as your relationships, fun, and overall quality of life. 07:40 The simple 1-5 rating system I use with myself and my coaching clients. 08:25 Why you're NOT allowed to choose a three, and how that rule forces you to get honest. 09:50 Are your income sources giving you life or costing you your life? 12:55 How I'm personally auditing my relationships, income opportunities, and free time right now. 14:15 The rating that revealed I need to make big changes to one area of my business.   RESOURCES Use code CHRIS and save $1,000 on your custom social media strategy with The Brand LAB HERE!

What adjustments do you need to make now to ensure the second half of your life is your best one yet? In this episode, I'm sharing a concept I can't stop thinking about: life's halftime. Just like the best teams in sports go into the locker room, look at the score, study what's working, and make adjustments to win the game, I believe high performers need to do the same thing with their lives. I break down the five areas I'm personally auditing at 48: friends and family, finances, fun, must-dos and must-sees, and the overall vibe I want my life to have. I share the wake-up call that sent me into my own halftime, how I'm becoming more intentional about the people I want on my "starting lineup," and why I'm changing how I work, travel, spend my time, and even have fun. You'll learn the questions to ask yourself to stop cruising through this critical season and intentionally design a second half you're excited to live. Your first half gave you the data. Now it's time to make the adjustments that help you win the game.   HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 Why the right people and conversations can completely change the trajectory of your life. 02:30 Are you in life's halftime without realizing it? 03:35 The tough questions high performers need to ask before starting their second half. 04:35 The wake-up call that completely changed how I looked at the rest of my life. 06:15 The 5 areas of your life you need to audit during halftime. 07:10 Who deserves a spot in your "starting lineup" for the second half of life? 08:10 How to become more intentional with family before time runs out. 09:05 The financial adjustments that can create more freedom and security in your second half. 10:30 When was the last time you seriously audited how much FUN you're having? 12:15 How to make money in a way that actually makes your life more enjoyable. 13:00 The must-do and must-see list that turns someday into an actual plan. 14:50 What do you want the second half of your life to feel like? 16:30 How to calculate what your dream life actually costs and build a plan to fund it.   RESOURCES Use code CHRIS and save $1,000 on your custom social media strategy with The Brand LAB HERE!

Lori and our business partner Stephanie Gambetta continue breaking down what women need to know about GLP-1s, peptides, and why getting the right protocol matters just as much as the tools themselves. They talk about why so many people struggle with side effects, how personalized coaching and the right dosing strategy make all the difference, and why the right peptides can support everything from gut health and recovery to healthier skin, stronger hair, and overall wellness.

Why do some people keep going when everything falls apart while others walk away too soon? In this episode, I break down why the people who eventually make it are the ones who learn how to use setbacks as feedback instead of proof to quit. I share why calling something "failure" can kill your momentum, while seeing it as feedback can point you toward your next breakthrough. I also share what building Frello has taught me about staying in the game when plans fall apart and the easiest option would be to walk away. Tune in to learn how to turn setbacks into strategy instead of letting them become your stopping point.   HIGHLIGHTS Why the entrepreneurs who make it are the ones who use setbacks as feedback. The one question to ask when something goes wrong. What Frello taught me about pivoting instead of quitting. Why labeling something "failure" can shut down your momentum.

Are you letting life-changing opportunities pass by simply because you never asked? In this episode, Lori and I break down why so many people miss out on partnerships, deals, introductions, podcast spots, and next-level opportunities, not because they aren't qualified, but because they never built the courage to ask. We share stories of how bold asks created business breakthroughs, sparked powerful collaborations, and opened doors that never would've happened if we had waited for perfect timing or permission. Tune in to learn how one bold ask can create the opportunity, relationship, or breakthrough you've been waiting for.   HIGHLIGHTS Why podcast guesting is such an overlooked growth tool.

This conversation is so important I stole it from Lori's podcast. Lori sat down with our new business partner Stephanie Gambetta to break down how peptides and GLP-1s can support weight loss, healing, recovery, and overall wellness when used the right way. They talk about what peptides actually are, how they work in the body, and why so many women hit a point where their old routines just aren't cutting it anymore. They also share why so many women feel disconnected from their bodies in their late 30s, 40s, and beyond, and what can happen when stress, hormones, and overtraining start working against you. This is something I know both men and women can relate to. Tune in for a fresh perspective on what it actually takes to feel good in your body again.   HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 Why so many women feel like their best years are behind them. 08:45 How peptides help support healing, reduce inflammation, and improve recovery. 14:00 Lori's fertility journey, IVF setbacks, and the moment she knew she needed help. 19:15 What can go wrong when you start a GLP-1 too high or too fast? 23:30 Why the workouts and eating habits that used to work may stop working as you age. 26:45 How a personalized approach helps you get better results from peptides. 31:30 How peptides can support your body, but won't replace the basics. 37:15 The downside of overtraining and being too rigid with food and fitness. 39:15 What it looks like to feel more freedom around your body, food, and routine. 43:45 What are peptides and how do they work in the body? 48:00 What Lori and Stephanie will break down next in their peptide series.   RESOURCES Curious about peptides and GLP-1s?

Have you noticed that your coaching offer isn't converting the way it used to? In this episode, I break down what AI is doing to the coaching and consulting industry and why so many once-profitable offers are losing traction. I share how people are now turning to tools like ChatGPT and Claude for fast, "good enough" answers instead of paying for broad coaching support, and how that shift is creating a ripple effect across courses, events, masterminds, and consulting businesses. I also share why the coaches who are still winning are the ones solving a very specific problem. Tune in to learn how to pivot fast, niche down smarter, and build a coaching business people will still gladly pay for.   HIGHLIGHTS Why AI is replacing many coaching and consulting offers. How "good enough" advice is reducing demand for general coaching. The ripple effect causing events, masterminds, and courses to suffer. Why broad coaching offers are no longer enough to compete. What it really means to solve a micro-specific problem people will pay for. How to pivot your coaching business before the market leaves you behind.   RESOURCES Join the most supportive mastermind on the internet - the Mentor Collective Mastermind!
