Podcasts about MSO

Most physicians dream of independence but dread the isolation and heavy lift of running a solo practice. What if there were a way to share infrastructure, lighten the load, and still maintain your autonomy? In this episode, Dr. Disha Spath sits down with special interviewer Dr. Dan Sooriabalan and guest Dr. Natalie Gentile to explore how managed services organizations (MSOs) can strengthen direct primary care practices. From sharing cross-coverage to negotiating employer contracts, she shares how she and her partner built a collaborative model that supports physicians while keeping patient care personal.  This conversation is packed with lessons on leadership, partnership, and building something bigger than yourself! Key Topics Covered: 1. The Hidden Price of 401K Breaking down what a managed services organization is and why it matters for direct primary care. 2. From Vaccine Clinics to Direct Primary Care Collaboration How grassroots community efforts during the pandemic sparked the creation of Pittsburgh's first DPC-focused MSO. 3. Shared Pain Points, Shared Solutions Cross-coverage, marketing, vaccine acquisition, mentorship—how an MSO makes solo practice less lonely. 4. The Business Side of Medicine Legal guardrails, employer contracts, and the financial realities of keeping physician ownership at the center. 5. Scaling Without Selling Out Why Natalie and her co-founder built their MSO without private equity—and how they're keeping it mission-driven. 6. Not a One-Size-Fits All Why MSOs aren't one-size-fits-all and what to consider before starting one in your own region. Listener Takeaways: MSOs (Managed Services Organizations) give DPC doctors shared infrastructure—like marketing, cross-coverage, and legal support—without sacrificing independence. Collaboration often starts with small, local initiatives (like community vaccine clinics) before scaling into sustainable models. Legal and financial guardrails are essential to keep physicians—not private equity—at the center of ownership. Quarterly case reviews, mentorship, and camaraderie help prevent isolation and burnout in solo practice.

The result is transformational.In this weeks' episode, Bill Park shares his remarkable journey through the collision repair industry and how his biggest discoveries weren't about paint or production—but about money. Along the way, Bill identified a critical gap in financial management that most shop owners face: relying on CPAs who focus on tax filing, not strategic financial management.Bill introduces his solution: Crunchit Financial Services, a “white glove” approach designed specifically for collision repair businesses. Using a financial blueprint process—similar to blueprinting a repair—he shows how to align management systems with accounting systems, ensure daily reconciliation of transactions, and build an accrual-based accounting structure that delivers accurate, timely insights.Bill also pulls back the curtain on tax optimization strategies that most shops miss—structuring finances in ways that can save tens or even hundreds of thousands annually. This isn't about complicated spreadsheets—it's about creating financial freedom by putting the right systems in place.5 Key Takeaways:Financial strength starts with systems: management and accounting must be aligned.Most CPAs miss opportunities because they only focus on filing taxes.Daily reconciliation creates accuracy and confidence in your numbers.Accrual-based accounting gives shop owners better insights than cash-based methods.Tax optimization can unlock huge savings and directly fuel profitability.If you're ready to run your shop with confidence, clarity, and the freedom that comes from perfect financials… join us this episode and let this be your roadmap to financial freedom!GUEST CONTACTBill Park - billpark8@me.comCrunchit Financial Services – https://www.crunchitfs.com/LinkedIn – https://tinyurl.com/499zeephSupport the showJoin our Mind Wrench mailing list!

Send us a textEpisode Notes: The difference between a good collision repair shop and a truly exceptional one often boils down to one critical factor: how people feel when they interact with your business. Join us this week as Sheryl Driggers, former MSO owner and now lead CSR trainer for Mike Anderson's elite Spartan Groups, reveals the science and strategy behind creating meaningful connections that transform both customer experience and employee satisfaction.Here are three effective actions collision shop leaders can take from Sheryl's insights:Cultivate a Positive Environment: Focus on creating a positive workplace atmosphere. Encourage a culture where positivity is the norm, as it enhances decision-making, creativity, and productivity. This can be achieved by recognizing and celebrating small wins, offering support, and fostering open communication among team members.Enhance Emotional Connections: Train your staff to prioritize emotional intelligence in customer interactions. Encourage them to go beyond standard service protocols by making customers feel valued and understood. Simple gestures like personalized follow-ups or remembering customer preferences can create memorable experiences that enhance customer loyalty.Implement the "One Degree" Concept: Encourage your team to consistently perform small, thoughtful actions that exceed customer expectations. This could include personalized thank-you notes, unexpected discounts, or simply going the extra mile in service delivery. These minor enhancements can significantly impact customer satisfaction and lead to increased referrals and repeat business.Taking these actions, rooted in positive human interactions, can transform both your customer service and employee engagement, driving long-term success for your business! GUEST CONTACTSheryl Driggers - sheryl@collisionadvice.comCollisionAdvice – www.collisionadvice.comShawn Achor Ted Talk: https://youtu.be/GXy__kBVq1M?si=robDiWbKpUVOTuaAThe Seven Habits of Highly Effective People: https://wSupport the showJoin our Mind Wrench mailing list!

The definition of connoisseur smoke often includes “indoor cultivation,” but what if we told you many of your favorite players have bagged up a particular brand's mixed light and sold it as indoor? You're about to find out why this was a blessing in disguise.Blackleaf sits down in the FSOTD studio with recurring guest and certified legend, Dave of Preferred Gardens, along with his core team, Alex, Mike, Blaine, and Nikki (also Dave's wife,) to discuss turning a legacy brand into a thriving MSO, winning the $60k Proper Doinks Z Challenge, raising kids and building a brand with your significant other, breeding in-house genetics, and the intricate and mythical nature of Preferred's methods for Quality Control.​David Polley founded Preferred Gardens in 2015 in Sacramento, California. The company is renowned for its mixed light growing methods, and cultivating over 260 unique strains, including Sherbanger, Lazer Gun, Znackz, and more. Initially prominent in the medical market, Preferred Gardens now operates in California, Florida, Arizona, and New York, with more new states coming online in the future. They're even dipping into international markets, as you'll hear Dave discuss on this episode.With over two decades of experience in the game, Dave will shed light on how crucial being a cultivator and lowkey breeder has been to his success as a brand owner, allowing him to fully understand quality control, as well as set up his same facilities in different states and be able to make minor adjustments and thrive. He'll also discuss how he and his team are the sole barrier of quality control in terms of what they'll put out, and how to develop relationships with retailers and partners where their word is bond and that trust is maintained.Aside from Dave and his constant game-dropping, the rest of his team that's in-studio shed tremendous light on how they're each able to make this global operation work without ever giving into the big investors and corporate hellscape structure. Hustling is an understatement when you get to hear from Preferred's sales and management team, Mike, Blaine, and Chris, as well as their resident mom and powerhouse accounting, programming, and back-of-house champ, Nikki.Again, bringing up quality control, Blackleaf rattles off tons of bubbling questions surrounding how they define a keeper, what Dave deems as the proper cure time, if white ash really matters and how they breed for it these days, how important unique genetics are in the legal game, how to establish trustworthy relationships with buyers, their internal voting system for picking fire cuts, how they've been able to keep crops A-1 with The Flowery in Florida, and if you really need to be a passionate smoker to run a top-tier flower brand.Find out more by visiting preferredgardens.com and check back on any of our previous episodes with Dave and Preferred Gardens to learn more about his journey and imminent rise to the top.Subscribe to our channel and the FSOTD.com site to keep up with other key players and enjoy conversations with trailblazers from the culture you can't find anywhere else.

Today, we're diving into one of the most critical challenges in farming today—profitability. How do you balance the demands of business, the realities of nature, and the need to manage energy and resources sustainably at a time when income sources and profitability itself is undergoing change?To help us explore this, I'm joined by two returning guests who are tackling these questions head-on—farm consultant Chris Clark and physicist Brian Scanlon.

And make sure you keep listening to the end of the episode because there is a discount code which will give you 25% off the book and I'll tell you what that code is later. Long standing listeners amongst you may have caught our bonus episode back in June 2023 which was when Brian and Chris were last on the show, and if you did then you'll already have a taste of their thinking. If not, don't worry—we're going to unpack it all right here, but I recommend scrolling back to that episode.

They explore key strategies, current challenges, and how churches can shift from growth to true multiplication. Todd Wilson kicks things off by outlining the session's focus: understanding today's church planting landscape, how to affiliate with Renew Movement, and tackling common obstacles. He notes that their audience includes both new church planters and existing churches seeking affiliation. A Q&A session follows, with lunch providing an opportunity for extended discussions. The State of Church Planting The team examines two national studies revealing troubling trends: fewer than 5% of U.S. churches actively make disciples, and only 7% are engaged in reproducing or planting new churches. Wilson stresses the connection between disciple-making and church planting—strong discipleship fuels sustainable church growth. They introduce a five-level framework for church growth: Level 1: Declining churches (35%) Level 2: Plateaued churches Level 3: Growing churches Level 4: Reproducing churches Level 5: Multiplying churches  The challenge? Most churches never move beyond growth to reproduction, and true multiplication is rare. Addition vs. Reproduction Wilson clarifies a crucial distinction: adding services or campuses isn't the same as planting new, self-sustaining churches. Many multisite models expand attendance but don't create independent church-planting movements. Brett Andrews tackles the biggest barriers to church reproduction—fear of scarcity (lack of resources) and fear of inadequacy (lack of wisdom). He encourages leaders to trust God's provision and lean on collaborative church networks. Six Core Distinctives of Renew Movement Sound Theology – Ensuring doctrinal integrity in church planting. Disciple-Making – Making disciples the foundation of church growth. Healthy Support Systems – Offering coaching, training, and assessment. Reproduction DNA – Embedding multiplication into new churches. Accountability – Maintaining mission alignment and integrity. Collaboration – Encouraging churches to work together in planting efforts. Wilson highlights that every church is just one decision away from church planting, thanks to Renew's collaborative model. He introduces four planting pathways—Collaborative, Parent, Pioneer, and Affiliate—each designed to meet different needs. For struggling churches, Renew also provides a path for legacy churches to transition their resources and vision into new church plants. Closing Thoughts Wilson and his team emphasize the importance of theological alignment and accountability in the evolving church planting landscape. They invite attendees to engage with Renew by affiliating, joining learning sessions, and embracing collaborative planting strategies. At its core, this episode underscores Renew Movement's mission: moving churches beyond simple growth into true multiplication, equipping them to disciple and reach more people effectively.

Hemper: Unboxing of Hemper, Classic to Custom, Building a Smokers BusinessIf you've ever wondered what it takes to bring a product like a glass piece or accessory from an idea to the manufacturing line and scale it to 20k+ orders, this episode is for you.Blackleaf is joined in the studio by the young legends behind the Hemper brand, Bryan (founder,) and Thai (lead designer,) to discuss their steady growth alongside the industry for the past decade, their wins vs losses in terms of dropping a new piece and accessories every single month for years, how market demand drove them into taking over the cone industry on a side hustle turned overseas pre-roll empire, and of course, all of the crazy stories in between.For the uninitiated, Hemper is an herb accessory brand known for its high-quality smoking products, including glass b0ngs, rolling trays, and subscription boxes. The company was founded in 2015 with the goal of delivering curated smoking essentials directly to consumers. Hemper collaborates with artists and influencers to create innovative, limited-edition designs that appeal to both casual and experienced smokers. The brand has grown significantly, becoming a go-to source for affordable and stylish smoking accessories.The story of how Bryan essentially graduated from college on the East Coast while simultaneously building the dream team to scale Hemper is one that you truly can't miss. You'll also hear about Thai's background working with Hypebeast and Karmaloop on countless creative endeavors from creative design to music videos and more before Karmaloop's imminent demise and bankruptcy around the time Diddy got involved.A name of interest that comes up in this pod is Rama Mayo, an entrepreneur and visionary known for his significant contributions to the herb and music industries. He co-founded Hall of Flowers, a premier herb trade show, and Green Street, an herb brand agency. Before his ventures with the plant, Mayo spent 15 years in the music industry, working with renowned artists such as Jimmy Eat World, The Hives, and At the Drive-In, and co-founded the record label Big Wheel Recreation. You'll hear about Rama reaching out to Bryan only 15 months into the business running, insisting they come to Los Angeles to live in the same building as him and run their operation at the Green Street building. Bryan divulges crazy stories surrounding their time at Green Street and running with Rama, meeting essentially every key player in the LA scene pre-2020. One of the biggest topics of conversation in this episode is easily product manufacturing and merchandising. Thai and Bryan weigh in on a number of topics surrounding deciding which glass pieces and accessories to mass produce in the thousands to tens of thousands, doing all their CAD design in-house, which ideas are even worth pursuing, and what goes into developing a full product line for an MSO. The true gem of this pod is when Bryan and Thai talk about their cone side business that's driven them to set up shop in India. Getting in during a cone shortage around 2017-18, they were able to rapidly scale their factories overseas to now own and operate over a dozen. Bryan will divulge exactly how they were able to meet crazy demand in the millions and presently produce around 30-40% of the world's pre-roll cones.Any aspiring entrepreneur who loves the plant should sit down for this inspirational episode about how you can build massive empires in this industry without ever having to grow, trim, or cure anything.Subscribe to our channel and the FSOTD.com site to keep up with other key players and enjoy conversations with trailblazers from the culture you can't find anywhere else.

In this episode, we're focusing on the “scale” option—how shop owners can grow their operations strategically to compete in today's collision repair landscape. To help us navigate this topic, we're joined by Thomas Goforth, former owner of Absolute Collision and a two-time guest of The Collision Vision. Thomas built Absolute Collision into a seven-store MSO in less than four years, creating a strong culture, developing a robust acquisition pipeline, and ultimately selling the business to a national consolidator in late 2024. He's one of the best operators in the industry, and today, he'll share insights into scaling a business, building a winning culture, and navigating the sale of a rapidly growing MSO.

Focus Advisors is a mergers and acquisitions firm specializing in the collision repair market and helping MSO owners achieve maximum value through a strategic exit. President Chris Lane and Senior Associate Madeleine Roberts Rich join the CollisionCast to discuss how collision repair business owners can help prepare for a sale.

In this episode, Rob explores the world of luxury supercars with Carl Hartley, one of the UK's biggest supercar dealers. From McLaren P1s to Lamborghini Miuras, Carl reveals insider insights on the most coveted vehicles, their values, and the intriguing quirks of different car brands and their buyers. Carl Reveals: The reliability issues with McLaren's entry-level sports models The first-ever supercar now valued at a staggering 2 million pounds The fascinating origin story of Lamborghini, detailing how a tractor maker's frustration with Ferrari led to the creation of a legendary supercar brand Rolls-Royce are discontinuing combustion engine models for convertibles The Mercedes race car that's never raced! The stark difference in buying behaviours between Lamborghini and Porsche customers BEST MOMENTS "This is a McLaren P1. Yeah. This is a special car. This is numbered one of 375 in the world. Only 1500 miles in a special MSO. MSO means McLaren special operations." "Lamborghini charge 1,800 pounds for the sticker. So the sticker that makes it look worse" "McLaren do carry this stigma and it's pointless saying that me not acknowledging it, they do carry the stigma that  McLaren are a nightmare to deal with. They're the worst company." "Stereotypically, a Porsche buyer is exactly the opposite. Like, my business partner researches for 20 years. Yeah, goes and sees the car three times, then probably doesn't buy one. And then waits for the bottom of the depreciation curve." "We're going to spend about 25,000 on getting it re-commissioned for someone else to not drive it for 25 years. And it's a shame because they drive so well. They drive really, really well."
