Good morning, afternoon, and evening, fellow real estate gladiators! Ever wondered if those sweet Airbnb profits are just a myth, or if you can actually turn a rental into a cash-flowing beast? Well, get ready, because Scott is joined by the Twin Cities' own rockstar investor, Mike Swenson! Mike's not just an amazing investor, he's a realtor-broker, a multifamily maven, and he's mastered the art of short-term rental (STR) arbitrage. We're diving deep into his journey from a foreclosed townhouse to building a robust real estate empire, including some juicy stories from the front lines of STR management. If you're looking to boost your cash flow, scale your portfolio, or just avoid cleaning up after a wild party, this episode is your golden ticket!In this episode, you'll learn:Arbitrage & Strategic Market Shift: Discover Mike's strategic pivot from Minneapolis/St. Paul's complex regulations and tenant-friendly policies to the growth potential of Southern Minnesota (hello, Mayo Clinic!). Learn how STR arbitrage became his "air game" – a brilliant way to gain experience and quick cash flow without the huge capital commitment of "slow-flip" apartment buildings.Nailing STR Profitability: The 2X Rule & Smart Due Diligence: Forget the 1% rule for traditional rentals; Mike shares how he aims for 2X the conventional rent for his short-term rentals. Get his insider tips on using tools like AirDNA for market analysis, spotting "notch above" properties (think updated kitchens & baths!), and why consistent year-round demand (near airports, attractions like the Mall of America, and business hubs) trumps seasonal "cabin country" for stable income.Landlord Hacks & Ironclad Insurance: Mike reveals his secret sauce for convincing landlords to embrace STR arbitrage – frame it as a "corporate rental" and highlight the benefits of consistent property oversight, proactive maintenance, and reliable rent. Plus, understand the crucial role of specialized landlord insurance and the necessity of your own STR policy to protect against those inevitable "hiccups" (like, say, a drug lab or a wild party!).The Unfiltered Truth of STR Operations: Cleaners, Guests & The Occasional Chaos: Prepare for the unfiltered truth about STR management! Mike breaks down the biggest operational challenges: finding and managing reliable cleaning crews (a major expense!), handling demanding guests (some expect the Four Seasons, bless their hearts!), and the constant battle against wear and tear (RIP that toilet paper holder!). Learn why banning one-night and same-day local bookings became his hard-earned golden rule to dodge party animals and less-than-desirable tenants.Scaling Smart: From Side Hustle to Empire & Your Next Steps: Mike reflects on his journey, explaining why arbitrage was his training ground and how he eyes future growth by owning STR properties for long-term appreciation or scaling into hospitality ventures. He offers crucial advice: truly understand your numbers (margins can shrink!), don't scale too fast, and always include lease clauses to protect yourself from changing STR regulations. Remember, it's not truly passive until you build the right leverage!So there you have it, folks! Mike Swenson's deep dive into the dynamic world of short-term rentals and multifamily investing proves that with strategy, resilience, and a good sense of humor, you can navigate the ups and downs of real estate. From dodging party planners to mastering landlord relations, his insights are pure gold. Ready to grab some of that cash flow for yourself and maybe even build an apartment empire? Connect with Mike and let his journey inspire your own. Go out, take some action, and let's turn those properties into cash cows (preferably without the weed smokers!).

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Christina Chen, M.D. Alzheimer's Disease affects not only the patient but also has a significant impact on that patient's family. The family becomes stressed as emotional and physical burdens develop. The role of the primary care clinician in managing a patient with Alzheimer's is not only to care for the patient but also help and support families as they go through a very complex, emotional journey. Today's podcast will cover the changes in family dynamics which commonly occur in Alzheimer's Disease including caregiver burden, legal decisions which need to be made, and difficult ethical choices which will be made as the disease progresses. What are some common sources of conflict within families as they care for their loved one with Alzheimer's? What can we do as a clinician to help families through this difficult journey? How do we approach a situation where there's disagreement in the family regarding management? These are some of the questions I'll be asking my guest, Christina Chen, M.D., an internist and geriatrician in the Division of Community Internal Medicine at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Alzheimer's Disease and Family Dynamics”.

Today we have Dr. Marina Walther-Antonio, a Mayo Clinic researcher who investigates the role of the microbiome in cancer and reproductive health, particularly endometrial and ovarian cancers. According to the World Cancer Research Fund International, endometrial and ovarian cancers are among the top 10 most prevalent cancers in women worldwide, and there are still no standard screenings for early detection. Marina is an assistant professor in the Department of Surgery and the Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine Microbiome Program. She has a joint appointment in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Today we talk to Marina about how she and her colleagues are utilizing the methodologies of environmental microbiology and technologies used in astrobiology to improve our understanding of endometrial and ovarian cancers. Through her investigations into the microbiome, she and her team are developing early detection tests that will enable clinical interventions before certain cancers develop. Show notes: [00:03:13] Dawn opens our interview asking Marina about the history of her interest in extraterrestrial life. [00:05:49] Dawn mentions that Marina did her undergraduate studies in Portugal at the University of Aveiro, where she majored in biology. Dawn asks why Marina chose biology as her major. [00:06:39] Ken explains that the undergraduate programs at Aveiro University require students to do a year of research outside the university and asks Marina about her experience with this requirement. [00:08:34] Ken explains that while Marina was conducting her internship at NASA Ames Research Center, there were several projects under way at the astrobiology institute, with the one that Marina was assigned to looking at a Mars analogue site in Oregon's Warner Valley. Ken asks what kind of work Marina did on this project. [00:10:06] Ken asks Marina why after earning a master's degree in microbiology from Indiana University, she went to Washington State University to earn a Ph.D. in environmental sciences. [00:13:29] Dawn asks about Marina's Ph.D. research on microbialites, which are microbial structures that can thrive at the bottom of certain freshwater lakes and other extreme environments. [00:16:02] Dawn explains that just as Marina began researching microbial populations, the Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine created a microbiome program. Dawn asks Marina about the circumstances that led to her joining Mayo. [00:19:05] Dawn mentions that Dr. Claire Fraser, the director of Maryland's Institute for Genome Sciences pointed out in Episode 32 of STEM-Talk that there are more microbes on a single person's hands than there are people on Earth, as well as the fact that our gut is home to more than 100 trillion bacteria. Dawn asks Marina to talk about this microbial side of humanity. [00:21:51] Ken mentions that if listeners are interested in learning more about the microbiome and how it affects human health, they should listen to Episodes 20 and 168 with Dr. Alessio Fasano. Ken asks Marina to give a short overview of the microbiome. [00:25:37] Dawn asks Marina how the focus of her research shifted to the role of the microbiome in cancer and reproductive health. [00:29:00] Dawn explains that endometrial and ovarian cancers are among the top 10 most prevalent cancers in women worldwide; with ovarian cancer being the most common gynecological malignancy and the fifth leading cause of death due to cancer in women in the nation. Dawn goes on to explain that in a 2023 paper Marina investigated the area of microbiome that is associated with ovarian cancer to better understand the microbiome's potential in early detection. Dawn asks Marina to talk about this study and its findings. [00:35:55] Given the small scale and sample size of her initial study, Ken asks Marina what her ideal follow-up study would look like. [00:38:37] Ken mentions that in 2019 Marina published the r...

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Daniel M. Frendl, M.D., Ph.D. Prostate cancer is quite common in middle age and older men and represents the second most common malignancy diagnosed in this population. Only skin cancer is more common. Early diagnosis is important and carries an excellent prognosis. There are several management options available for localized disease and some new treatments which can be used for both aggressive and more advanced disease. When should active surveillance be used when prostate cancer has been diagnosed? How does radiation therapy compare to surgical prostatectomy regarding long-term outcomes and what are some of the newer treatment options available for advanced disease? These are some of the questions I'll be asking my guest, Daniel M. Frendl, M.D., Ph.D., a urologist from the Department of Urology at the Arizona campus of the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Prostate Cancer”.

Before leading Mayo Clinic's digital transformation, John D. Halamka, MD, MA was a teenage engineer scavenging defense-contractor dumpsters for computer parts and a Stanford student who helped prototype early multimedia networks long before the internet entered everyday life. In this episode, he sits down with host Geoffrey Rubin, MD, MBA, FACR to trace his remarkable journey across emergency medicine, Silicon Valley entrepreneurship, and national health IT policy. Along the way, he built one of the first web-based electronic health records, helped shape interoperability standards that enable modern data exchange, and pioneered federated analytics (empowering global health systems to collaborate on AI development while keeping patient data local and protected ) and digital care models now being adopted around the globe. Dr. Halamka reflects on the mentors, risks, and resilience that propelled his career, and shares how adaptability, curiosity, and a simple mantra – “All will be well” - continue to guide his leadership philosophy in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape. Behind the Mic: Dr. John Halamka is an alpinist (a mountain climber who specializes in difficult and challenging ascents, often involving mixed terrain), rock and ice climber. He and his wife also share a deep love for animals and run Unity Farm Sanctuary (unityfarmsanctuary.org) which provides lifetime care for farm animals in need. Located in Sherborn, Massachusetts, Unity Farm Sanctuary is currently home to 400 large animals including gentle giant Dudley the Scottish Highland Bull, affectionate Marky Goat, shy Gypsy Minihorse, and social butterflies Turnip Turkey and Blackbeard Rooster.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Daniel M. Frendl, M.D., Ph.D. If your practice includes middle age and older men, you've very likely diagnosed prostate cancer. It's the most diagnosed non-skin cancer in men in the U.S. Its incidence rises with age, with a median age of around 66 years. When found early, prostate cancer is very treatable, and in most cases, curable. Prostate specific antigen, or PSA is very effective in detecting early prostate cancer, but its use has been controversial due to the risk of overdiagnosis and overtreatment. What are the current recommendations for prostate cancer screening with PSA? What's the role of the digital rectal exam? How should we be using the PSA and what other tests are available for prostate cancer screening? The topic for this podcast is “Prostate Cancer Screening” and I'll be asking these questions to my guest, Daniel M. Frendl, M.D., Ph.D., a urologist at the Arizona campus of the Mayo Clinic.

What if we reframed our dislike of office politics and saw it instead as a way to help our teams get the recognition they deserve?In complex organizations, politics and strategic networking aren't distractions. They're often the hidden drivers of influence, credibility, and career growth.In this episode of Let's Talk, People, Emily sits down with Audrey Greenberg Venture Partner and Chair of Business Development at Mayo Clinic, to explore how leaders can navigate politics with integrity, build meaningful networks, and advocate for themselves and their teams.Together, they unpack why sponsorship outpaces mentorship, how to “pre-wire the room” before decisions, and what it takes to balance transparency with influence when the stakes are high.Whether you're aiming for a promotion, championing a rising star, or working to break silos, this episode will reshape how you view politics at work and reveal why relationships may be your most powerful leadership tool.Timestamps: [00:08:03] Sponsors, mentors, and visibility - Audrey and Emily unpack why career growth requires mentors (guidance), sponsors (advocacy when you're not in the room), and intentionally created visible moments so your work isn't left to chance.[00:19:29] Negotiating from abundance, not scarcity - Practical negotiation guidance: lead with gratitude, present evidence/benchmarks, ask for shared-success outcomes, and consider levers beyond immediate cash (equity, review cadence, bonus).[00:23:05] Beyond salary: creative levers of recognition - A focused discussion on alternatives to immediate pay increases: equity, title changes, flexibility, PTO, and other levers that can retain and recognize people (and often cost less than cash).[00:31:07] You can be both human and high-performing - Audrey challenges the myth that you have to choose between being human or high-performing, showing how presence and performance actually fuel each other.Access the episode transcript.Join the Conversation: This year we're taking audience questions!

When to Consider Intervention for Peripheral Arterial Disease Guest: Stan Henkin, M.D. Host: Malcolm Bell, M.D. Although optimal medical therapy is key to decrease the risk of major adverse cardiac events in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), lower extremity arterial revascularization also plays an important role in management of symptoms and prevention of amputation. Thus, it is important to recognize the optimal timing for patient to be referred for lower extremity arterial revascularization. This podcast will discuss when patients with established PAD should be considered for peripheral revascularization. Topics Discussed: Can you tell us about clinical subsets of PAD and what symptoms may be expected with each subset? Recent BEST-CLI trial garnered a lot of attention and press. Can you tell us more about this trial and why results are important for treatment of patients with CLTI? When should a patient with claudication be referred for revascularization?

What a CreepSeason 31, Episode 2Bill Gothard, founder of the Institute in Basic Life PrinciplesKristen Meinzer from The Nighty on Hatch Plus and Health Matters from the Mayo Clinic joins Sonia Mansfield to talk about creep Bill Gothard, a minister, writer, and the founder of the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP). The IBLP is a fundamentalist Christian organization that encourages the submission of wives to husbands, procreative sex, the corporal punishment of children, homeschooling, and biblical literalism.

Send us a textDr. Acosta returns to Causes or Cures to talk about the next big leap in obesity research: using genetics and machine learning to predict which patients will get side effects to popular GLP-1 weight-loss medications like Wegovy and Zepbound. Previously, he was on Causes or Cures to discuss your individual obesity type. He and his team are uncovering why some people experience major weight loss while others face tough side effects—especially nausea. The goal? True precision medicine for obesity: matching the right treatment to the right person before treatment even begins. (You can learn more about their available tests and company here.) Topics We DiscussDr. Acosta's background and what drew him to obesity researchWhy not all obesity is the same—and why that matters for patients and doctorsThe most common questions patients ask about GLP-1 drugs like Wegovy and ZepboundHow big a problem side effects like nausea really are in practiceNew research using genetic markers to predict who's more likely to experience side effectsWhether eating style affects nausea and how Dr. Acosta coaches patients on nutrition while using these medicationsThe possibility of genetic testing before prescribing GLP-1sWhat we know about rarer side effects, from vision to hearing changes, if he thinks more side effects will emergeWhat “satiation” (feeling full) means and why it varies so much between peopleHow genetic risk and satiation scores could determine which obesity treatment works bestDr. Acosta's thoughts on obesity prevention, especially on renewed energy to take on the unhealthy food industryThe persistence of stigma—why “willpower” doesn't tell the whole storyWhether the current obsession with obesity drugs distracts from prevention, nutrition, and community health Listen if you've ever wondered:Why GLP-1 drugs don't work the same for everyoneWhat your genes have to do with weight loss, feeling full and side effectsHow soon doctors could use genetic tests to personalize obesity treatmentWhether prevention is being overshadowed by the pharma spotlightWhy it mattersObesity isn't a one-size-fits-all condition—and neither should its treatment be. Dr. Acosta's research could mark a turning point in how we approach weight loss: scientifically, compassionately, and individually. Dr. Acosta is a Consultant of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the Mayo Clinic, as well as an Associate Professor of Medicine. His research focus is on gastrointestinal physiology and the complexity of food intake regulation as it relates to obesity.

Falls are a threat to the health of older adults and can reduce their ability to remain independent. However, falls don't have to be inevitable as you age. You can reduce your chance of falling or help a loved one prevent falls. There are proven ways to reduce and prevent falls, even for older adults. We identify older adults as anyone 65 years and older. Physical changes and health conditions — and sometimes the medications used to treat those conditions — make falls more likely as you age. In fact, falls are a leading cause of injury among older adults. Still, fear of falling doesn't need to rule your life. Instead, consider six simple fall prevention strategies. 1. Make an appointment with your health care provider Start by making an appointment with your health care provider. To assess your risk and discuss fall prevention strategies, your health care provider may want to talk about the following: Your medications. Make a list of your prescription and nonprescription medications and supplements, or bring them with you to the appointment. Your health care provider can review your medications for side effects and interactions that may increase your risk of falling. To help with fall prevention, your health care provider may consider weaning you off medications that make you tired or affect your thinking, such as sedatives, antihistamines and some types of antidepressants. Any previous falls. Write down the details, including when, where and how you fell. Be prepared to discuss instances when you almost fell but were caught by someone or managed to grab hold of something just in time. Details such as these may help your health care provider identify specific fall prevention strategies. Your health conditions. Certain eye and ear disorders may increase your risk of falls. Be prepared to discuss your health conditions and how comfortable you are when you walk — for example, do you feel any dizziness, joint pain, shortness of breath, or numbness in your feet and legs when you walk? Your health care provider may evaluate your muscle strength, balance and walking style (gait) as well. 2. Keep moving Physical activity can go a long way toward fall prevention. With your health care provider's OK, consider activities such as walking, water workouts or tai chi — a gentle exercise that involves slow and graceful dance-like movements. These activities reduce the risk of falls by improving strength, balance, coordination and flexibility. If you avoid physical activity because you're afraid it will make a fall more likely, tell your health care provider. Your provider may recommend carefully monitored exercise programs or refer you to a physical therapist. The physical therapist can create a custom exercise program aimed at improving your balance, flexibility and muscle strength. 3. Wear sensible shoes Consider changing your footwear as part of your fall prevention plan. High heels, floppy slippers and shoes with slick soles can make you slip, stumble and fall. So can walking in your stocking feet. Instead, wear properly fitting, sturdy, flat shoes with nonskid soles. Sensible shoes may also reduce joint pain. 4. Remove home hazards Take a look around your home for potential fall hazards. To make your home safer: Remove boxes, newspapers, electrical cords and phone cords from walkways. Move coffee tables, magazine racks and plant stands from high-traffic areas. Secure loose rugs with double-faced tape, tacks or a slip-resistant backing — or remove loose rugs from your home. Repair loose, wooden floorboards and carpeting right away. Store clothing, dishes, food and other necessities within easy reach. Immediately clean spilled liquids, grease or food. Use nonslip mats in your bathtub or shower. Use a bath seat, which allows you to sit while showering. 5. Light up your living space Keep your home brightly lit to avoid tripping on objects that are hard to see. Also: Place night lights in your bedroom, bathroom and hallways. Place a lamp within reach of your bed in case you need to get up in the middle of the night. Make clear paths to light switches that aren't near room entrances. Consider trading traditional switches for glow-in-the-dark or illuminated switches. Turn on the lights before going up or down stairs. Store flashlights in easy-to-find places in case of power outages. 6. Use assistive devices Your health care provider might recommend using a cane or walker to keep you steady. Other assistive devices can help, too. For example: Handrails for both sides of stairways Nonslip treads for bare-wood steps A raised toilet seat or one with armrests Grab bars for the shower or tub A sturdy plastic seat for the shower or tub — plus a hand-held shower nozzle for bathing while sitting down If necessary, ask your health care provider for a referral to an occupational therapist. An occupational therapist can help you brainstorm other fall prevention strategies. Some solutions are easily installed and relatively inexpensive. Others may require professional help or a larger investment. If you're concerned about the cost, remember that an investment in fall prevention is an investment in your independence.

Thankfully, a high school friend's mom ended up being the one that found it. When he picked it up from her, she told him that her son is recently sober and gave Paul his phone number to reconnect. Paul had recently tried to rejoin the fantasy football league he had previously been a part of and was denied re-entry. This brought up huge feelings of rejection reminiscent of his childhood. While on a retreat with his sober friend in Mexico, Paul found himself dwelling on the negative emotions when he caught himself looking at a beer a fellow diner was having. The thought that “one or two beers would make you feel better” came over him, but then he looked at his newly sober friend and reflected on the great talks of sobriety that they had shared, and the thoughts went away. Reeling from this, Paul went outside, shook his head a few times and then was filled with a warm embrace by the universe knowing that his lost wallet put him in Mexico with his sober friend and everything ended up alright. [07:36] Paul introduces Sue: Sue is 54 years old and has two adult children and one granddaughter. She works as a housekeeper for a hospital at the Mayo Clinic and for fun she loves nature, animals, hikes, jet skiing, kayaking and birdwatching. Sue's parents were both daily drinkers. Sue would sip her dads beer because she thought it was cool, but her first real drinking experience was when she stole some sloe gin from her parent's pantry at age 13 or 14. In her teenage years she began to party a lot on the weekends. Sue was a shy girl, and drinking helped her open up and gave her the attention she craved. Her grades in school began to suffer because she was skipping a lot and Sue ended up unable to graduate. Sue never thought her drinking was a problem even after getting in trouble for underage drinking. Her boyfriend was abusive, but due to her craving for love and attention, Sue kept going back to him. After a long breakup, he returned wanting to reunite, claiming he had changed. Soon Sue became pregnant, got married, quit drinking and focused on having a family. Sue enjoyed being a mother. Her husband worked a lot, so she did a lot of the parenting on her own while working a full-time job. As the kids got older and were home less, Sue began to drink more. She tried to hide her drinking, but her kids began to notice. Sue and her husband were fighting a lot and eventually had a messy divorce in which her husband got custody, which was very hard on Sue. Sue got remarried in 2015 and while she cut back a little, her husband started calling her out on how often she was drinking. This led to her hiding her drinking again and several hospitalizations over the next few years. In 2017, after a hospitalization, Sue was able to get sober with the help of AA. She says complacency led to relapses. Her children had cut her off and there were multiple inpatient and outpatient attempts but nothing stuck until May 9th, 2023. Sue says the difference this time is that she fully surrendered and is doing this for herself and not others. She checked herself Hazelden and dug into the work of loving herself again. She still stays active with that community and her AA group. Sue says her spirituality comes from nature and her belief in prayer and hope. She has been able to reconnect with her children over the past year and has plans to become a peer recovery specialist. Recovery Elevator Go big, because eventually we all go home. I love you guys.
