Podcast interview marketing is one of the fastest ways for health coaches to grow authority, expand reach, and attract right-fit clients—without living on social media. Strategist Chloe Williamson from Interview Valet explains how to guest on the right shows, borrow trust from vetted hosts, repurpose long-form interviews into evergreen content, and build a campaign aligned to your goals (education, client acquisition, or authority). What You'll Learn Why podcast guesting often outperforms hosting for lead generation and credibility How to pick shows strategically (audience fit, titles/descriptions, host style, discoverability) Research that matters: demographics, geography, trends, and topic data Chloe uses Messaging that converts: overcoming "bragging" reluctance, positioning, and clear offers Evergreen content playbook: turn one 45-minute interview into emails, reels, blogs, ads, and talks Busting the "saturation" myth in health and wellness Guesting without social media: leverage email/newsletters and communities Post-interview promotion that actually moves the needle (and what to ask the host) Setting realistic goals and reverse-engineering your guesting plan Key Topics & Flow Chloe's origin story and why guesting resonates in health & wellness Borrowed trust: how vetted hosts pre-warm their audiences Strategy vs. spaghetti: choosing shows, not just chasing downloads How to talk about yourself without feeling "braggy" Guesting > hosting for client leads (while both can coexist) Evergreen repurposing: interviews → emails, reels, blogs, talks, ads Seasons, replays, and keeping your feed ranking and discoverable "Niche down + niche out": expanding beyond a too-tiny avatar Defeating the oversaturation myth: everyone needs health Next steps: goal setting, outreach, prep, and post-show promotion   Action Steps for Health Coaches Set your primary goal: education/authority, client acquisition, or content creation. Build a show shortlist: audience fit, guest-friendly titles/descriptions, searchable show notes. Develop talk tracks: 3 core stories, 3 actionable tips, 1 clear call-to-action. Pitch with proof: outcomes, case examples, and a tailored angle for each host. Repurpose immediately: pull 5–10 clips/quotes, 1 newsletter, 1 blog, and 3 reels from each interview.   About Chloe Williamson Chloe Williamson is a strategist at Interview Valet, a white-glove podcast interview marketing agency. She partners with health and wellness professionals—physicians, clinicians, and health coaches—to design data-driven guesting campaigns that grow authority, expand audience reach, and generate qualified leads.

Many clinics deliver exceptional patient care, yet still struggle to attract new patients. Why? Because patients can't “see” your value unless your brand communicates it clearly. In this episode, Beyond Your Logo: How to Become the ‘Only' Choice in Your Niche With Your Brand, we sit down with Graeme Gladman, Founder of BrandQuest, to explore how a well-defined brand story becomes your most powerful patient-acquisition tool. Graeme brings more than 30 years of expertise in brand strategy, creative direction, and marketing leadership, having developed brand stories for over 200 businesses. Today, he explains why so many medical practices unintentionally blend into the “same, same, same” online landscape and what it takes to stand out in a meaningful and strategic way. In this episode, Graeme shares insights on: Why most medical clinic brands look and sound identical • The critical difference between branding and marketing • How patients actually choose their medical practice • Why your ‘WHY Story' creates stronger loyalty than your services • The most common branding mistakes clinics make • How authentic differentiation turns a practice into the first—and only—choice • What the “Brand Within” is and how BrandQuest uncovers it • Actionable steps to reveal your clinic's unique identity and narrative • How strong branding increases referrals, trust, and long-term practice growth If you're committed to growing your practice, elevating your reputation, and attracting patients who align with your values, this episode is essential.   BONUS: Free 15-Minute Consultation With Graeme Graeme is offering listeners a free 15-minute brand clarity consultation to help you identify gaps, ask questions, and understand how your clinic can stand out more effectively.

What if the problem isn't that you haven't found your niche…but that you've forgotten yourself?In this thing, that some people call an episode, I talk about deleting 400+ hours of work,walking away from strategies, thumbnails, categories,and reclaiming the only voice that actually matters — the real one.This isn't creator advice.It's a manifesto ( scary word to use ) about identity, destiny, and authenticity in a world that constantly asks you to shrink.If you've ever felt pressured to specialize, to fit into a box, or to perform a version of yourself that never felt right…this episode might be for you.Stop searching for a niche.Start searching for who you were before the world tried to organize you.Everything else is dust.

From investing thousands of dollars to join these rooms to building lifelong connections, Mike explains why masterminds are one of the best professional investments he's ever made. He walks listeners through the traits that set successful entrepreneurs apart: they execute fast, think big, rebound from setbacks, manage their finances with precision, and network intentionally. Through personal stories and real-world examples, Mike shows how these same principles can help healthcare entrepreneurs expand their vision, accelerate growth, and avoid costly mistakes. If you've ever wondered whether joining a mastermind is worth it, this episode offers clear, actionable insight into how to make it work for you.   Three Actionable Takeaways: Speed Wins — Execute Fast and Refine Later: In the world of high-performing entrepreneurs, perfectionism is the enemy of progress. The most successful mastermind members Dr. Mike met don't wait for every variable to align — they take action, test quickly, and adjust based on results. Think Bigger — Start with a Niche, Then Scale Beyond It : The entrepreneurs dominating their industries didn't stay confined to narrow niches — they used them as launching pads. Many began by focusing on a small, well-defined audience (like women physicians or local clients), but once they gained traction, they expanded strategically into broader, more lucrative markets. Know Your Numbers — Financial Awareness Builds Freedom: Entrepreneurship without financial literacy is like driving blindfolded. The most successful business owners Dr. Mike has encountered track their profit and loss daily, scrutinize expenses, and question every dollar spent. They don't delegate financial awareness — they own it.   About the Show: Bootstrap MD is the ultimate podcast for physician entrepreneurs looking to escape traditional healthcare and control their financial futures.

Today on the Idaho Business Podcast, Spencer sits down with Seth Horst—realtor in beautiful Coeur d'Alene, retired California Highway Patrol officer turned Idaho convert, and host of the Idaho Experience podcast (and the North Idaho Experience YouTube channel). Seth shares how his team of former first responders and veterans grew by being unapologetically themselves, niching hard, and attracting clients who share their values. They dig into why culture beats everything, how clear core values filter both hires and clients, and why North Idaho's throwback, say-hi-to-strangers vibe makes community the real selling point. You'll hear how niching actually reduces marketing cost while increasing trust, why "all money is not good money," and what it takes to scale a team without losing your soul. Seth also talks community work—from long-form local conversations to a judicial watch effort—and why informed citizens keep Idaho, Idaho. Lightning Round: Seth's current read is Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell, and his "myth to bust" is that casting a wide net wins—it's the niche that wins.

Kalista (que j'accompagne en ce moment) rêve de créer un média et des ateliers autour de sujets qui la font vibrer. Mais elle hésite à choisir une thématique précise. Elle m'a dit : « j'ai peur de m'enfermer ». Dans cette Minute Marine, je reviens sur ce blocage-là, je creuse ce qu'il cache vraiment… et je partage quelques pistes pour s'en détacher sans angoisse. C'est un blocage différent du fameux « j'ai peur de me fermer des portes » — que j'avais décortiqué dans la MM#133. Et toi : – Tu t'es déjà freiné·e dans ta spécialisation par peur de t'ennuyer ? – Tu t'es déjà raconté des carabistouilles pour éviter de faire des choix dans ton business (moi, ça m'est arrivé plein de fois

What if you could stop feeling stretched thin and finally focus on the clients—and the kind of work—you love most? That's exactly what Jackie Larsen-Robinson did when she launched her adult-focused private practice, Livewell Speech Therapy, in Provo, Utah.Jackie is a speech-language pathologist who started her career later in life—returning to school at nearly 40. Like many SLPs, she entered the field with a desire for balance and impact, but soon found herself overwhelmed by the demands of school-based therapy. With an impossible caseload and too many diagnoses to juggle, she knew something had to change.After moving to Utah, Jackie transitioned into the medical side of speech therapy, working PRN at a rehab facility. There, she discovered her love for adult neuro and swallowing disorders—and her confidence grew. One day, a patient with Parkinson's disease specifically requested to work with her. Not wanting to let him down, Jackie dove into specialized training and became certified in SPEAK OUT! therapy for Parkinson's.That decision changed everything. Soon after, referrals started flowing in from support groups and local providers. But it wasn't until her daughter faced health challenges that Jackie realized she needed more control over her time and income. That's when she joined the Start Your Private Practice Program, determined to take small, confident steps toward business ownership.In this episode, Jackie shares how she runs Livewell Speech Therapy, serving adults with Parkinson's disease, swallowing disorders, and voice difficulties. She is certified in SPEAK OUT! and VitalStim and is passionate about helping clients regain their independence and confidence through compassionate, evidence-based care.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:How one determined patient with Parkinson's sparked her path to specializationThe moment she realized she could serve her community and her family better by starting her own private practiceHow she built her confidence step-by-stepThe inspiring quotes that keep her motivated every single dayJackie's practice is more than a business—it's a lifestyle that gives her the flexibility to care for her daughter, set her own hours, and never again have to ask permission for a day off. Her story proves that it's never too late to reinvent your career—or to build a business that truly aligns with your life. By taking one small step at a time, she created a thriving private practice that brings her joy, freedom, and purpose every single day.Ready to start your own private practice and build a career that fits your life—just like Jackie did?

A tribe is a group of people that share an identity marker. Every affinity group, every fan club, every self-selected group of insiders is a tribe.Last week we talked about Business-to-Business advertising (B2B) and Niche Marketing with a long purchase cycle (Niche-L).Today we talk about Niche Marketing with a short purchase cycle (Niche-S) and Business-to-Consumer advertising (B2C).Let's talk first about (Niche-S):Niche Marketing with a Short purchase cycle will always be targeted to an affinity group. A Niche market is any self-selected group of insiders that has chosen to spend time, attention, and money on something that most people don't care about.Short-cycle Niche Marketing is mostly consumable products and services that are purchased on a regular basis by a self-selected group.

Benefits. Price.Now let's talk about Business-to-Consumer advertising with a Short purchase cycle. (B2C-S)Do you sell a small-ticket consumable product or service that a high percentage of the population will purchase regularly? You are selling Business-to-Consumer with a Short purchase cycle. Food, gasoline, and entertainment compose the majority of this category.If you own a grocery store, a restaurant, a convenience store, a gas station, a hardware store, or an “everything” store that competes with Amazon and Wal-Mart, all you need is a high-visibility location, legendary signage, and a staff that delivers a positive customer experience. That's it. That's your advertising.NOTE: If you want to drive immediate traffic, you will need(1.) an irresistible offer(2.) credible urgency(3.) high-frequency repetitionIf your ad doesn't drive traffic,(1.) your offer was weak(2.) your urgency was not credible, or(3.) you didn't pound the drums loud enoughNow let's talk about Business-to-Consumer advertising with a Long purchase cycle. (B2C-L)If you sell a big-ticket product or service that a lot of Americans will buy “someday,” but only a fraction of one percent of the public is looking for it “today,” then you are in a B2C category with a Long purchase cycle.This category requires patience, commitment, and mass media: primarily broadcast radio, broadcast television, or billboards.You can use short-term-impact Transactional ads or long-term brand-building Relational ads.The objective of a Transactional ad is to make the sale. You can measure the Return-On-Ad-Spend (ROAS) of short-term-impact Transactional ads because they offer no long-term benefits.The objective of a long-term Relational ad is to create connection, relationship, and trust in your brand. Relational ads cannot be measured with ROAS because there is no moment when the benefits of relationship strengthening have been exhausted.Business people are instinctively attracted to Transactional ads because Transactional ads are more easily measured. This feels good in the short term, but in the long term it leads to frustration as you ask, “Why aren't we growing like we should?”Now let's talk about Business-to-Consumer advertising with a Mixed purchase cycle....

Dr. Pedro Barata and Dr. Aditya Bagrodia discuss the evolving landscape of testicular cancer survivorship, the impact of treatment-related complications, and management strategies to optimize long-term outcomes and quality of life. TRANSCRIPT:  Dr. Pedro Barata: Hello and welcome to By the Book, a podcast series from ASCO that features engaging conversations between editors and authors of the ASCO Educational Book. I'm Dr. Pedro Barata. I'm a medical oncologist at University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center and associate professor of medicine at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. I'm also an associate editor of the ASCO Educational Book. We all know that testicular cancer is a rare but highly curable malignancy that mainly affects young men. Multimodal advances in therapy have resulted in excellent cancer specific survival, but testicular cancer survivors face significant long term treatment related toxicities which affect their quality of life and require surveillance and management. With that, I'm very happy today to be joined by Dr. Aditya Bagrodia, a urologic oncologist, professor, and the GU Disease Team lead at UC San Diego[KI1]  Health, and also the lead author of the recently published paper in the ASCO Educational Book titled, "Key Updates in Testicular Cancer: Optimizing Survivorship and Survival." And he's also the host of the world-renowned BackTable Urology Podcast. Dr. Bagrodia, I'm so happy that you're joining us today. Welcome. Dr. Aditya Bagrodia: Thanks, Pedro. Absolutely a pleasure to be here. Really appreciate the opportunity. Dr. Pedro Barata: Absolutely.  So, just to say that our full disclosures are available in the transcript of this episode.  Let's get things started. I'm really excited to talk about this. I'm biased, I do treat testicular cancer among other GU malignancies and so it's a really, really important topic that we face every day, right? Fortunately, for most of these patients, we're able to cure them. But it always comes up the question, "What now? You know, scans, management, cardio oncology, what survivorship programs we have in place? Are we addressing the different survivorship piece, psychology, fertility, et cetera?" So, we'll try to capture all of that today. Aditya, congrats again, you did a fantastic job putting together the insights and thoughts and what we know today about this important topic. And so, let's get focused specifically about what happens when patients get cured. So, many of us, in many centers, were fortunate enough to have these survivorship programs together, but I find that sometimes from talking to colleagues, they're not exactly the same thing and they don't mean the same thing to different people, to different institutions, right? So, first things first. What do you tell a patient perhaps when they ask you, "What can happen to me now that I'm done with treatment for testicular cancer?" Whether it's chemotherapy or just surgery or even radiation therapy? "So, what about the long term? What should I expect, Doctor, that might happen to me in the long run?" Dr. Aditya Bagrodia: Totally. I mean, I think that question's really front and center, Pedro, and really appreciate you all highlighting this topic. It was an absolute honor to work with true thought leaders and the survivorship bit of it is front and center, in my opinion. It's really the focus, you know, we, generally speaking should be able to cure these young men, but it's the 10, 15, 20 years down the way that they're going to largely contend with. The conversation really begins at diagnosis, pre-education. Fortunately, the bulk of patients that present are those with stage one disease, and even very basic things like before orchiectomy, talking about a prosthetic; we know that that can impact body image and self esteem, whether or not they decide to receive it or not. Actually, just being offered a prosthetic is important and this is something, you know, for any urologist, it's kind of critical. To discussing fertility elements to this, taking your time to examine the contralateral testicle, ask about fertility problems, issues, concerns, offer sperm banking, even in the context of a completely normal contralateral testicle, I think these things are quite important.  So if it's somebody with stage one disease, you know, without going too far down discussing adjuvant therapy and so forth, I will start the conversation with, "You know, the testes do largely two things. They make testosterone and they make sperm." By and large, patients are going to be able to have acceptable levels of testosterone, adequate sperm parameters to maintain kind of a normal gonadal state and to naturally conceive, should that be something they're interested in. However, there's still going to be, depending on what resource you look at, somewhere in the order of 10-30% that are going to have issues. Where I think for the stage one patients, it's really incumbent upon us is actually to not wait for them to discuss their concerns, particularly with testosterone, which many times can be a little bit vague, but to proactively ask about it every time. Libido, erectile quality, muscle mass maintenance, energy, fatigue. All of these are kind of associated symptoms of hypogonadism. But for a lot of kids 18-20 years old, it's going to be something insidious that they don't think about. So, for the stage one patients, it absolutely starts with gonadal function. If they are stage two getting surgery, I think the counseling really needs to center around a possibility for ejaculatory dysfunction. Now, for a chemotherapy-naive, nerve-sparing RPLND, generally these days we should be able to preserve ejaculatory function at high volume centers, but you still want to bring that up and again kind of touch base on thinking about sperm banking and so forth before the operation, scars, those are things I think worth talking about, small risk of ascites. Then, I think the intensity of potential long term adverse effects really ramps up when we're talking about systemic therapy, chemotherapy. And then there's of course some radiation therapy specific elements that come up. So, for the chemotherapy bits of it, I really think this is going to be something that can be a complete multi-system affected intervention. So, anxiety, depression, our group has actually shown using some population resources that even suicidality can be increased among patients that have been treated for germ cell tumor. You know, really from the top down, tinnitus, hearing changes, those are things that we need to ask about at every appointment. Neuropathy, sexual health, that we kind of talked about, including ED (erectile dysfunction), vertigo, dizziness, Raynaud's phenomenon, these are kind of more the symptoms that I think we need to inquire about every time. And what we do here and I think at a lot of survivorship programs is use kind of a battery of validated instruments, germ cell tumor specific, platinum treated patient specific. So we use a combination of EORTC questions and PROMIS questions, which actually serves as like a review of systems for the patient, also as a research element. We review that and then depending on what might be going on, we can dig into that further, get them over to colleagues in audiology or psychology, et cetera.  And then of course, screening for the hypertension, hyperlipidemia, metabolic syndrome with basically you or myself or somebody kind of like us serving, many times it's the role of the PCP, just making sure we're checking out, you know, CBC, CMP, et cetera, lipid parameters to screen for those kind of cardiac associated issues along with secondary malignancies. Dr. Pedro Barata: So that's super comprehensive and thorough. Thank you so much. Actually, I love how you break it down in a simple way. Two functions of the testes, produce testosterone and then, you know, the problem related to that is the hypogonadism, and then the second, as you mentioned, produce sperm and of course related to the fertility issues with that.  So, let's start with the first one that you mentioned. So, you do cite that in your paper, around 5-10% of men end up getting, developing hypogonadism, maybe clinical when they present with symptoms, maybe subclinical. So, I'm wondering, for our audience, what kind of recommendations we would give for addressing that or kind of thinking of that? How often are you ordering those tests? And then, when you're thinking about testosterone replacement therapy, is that something you do immediately or are there any guidelines into context that? How do you approach that? Dr. Aditya Bagrodia: So, just a bit more on digging into it even in terms of the questions to ask, you know, "Do you have any decrease in sexual drive? Any erectile dysfunction? Are your morning erections still taking place? Has the ejaculate volume changed? Physically, muscle mass, strength? Have you been putting on weight? Have you noticed increase in body fat?" And sometimes this is complicated because there's some anxiety that comes along with a cancer diagnosis when you're 20, 30 years old, multifactorial, hair loss, hot flashes, irritability. Sometimes they'll, you know, literally they'll say, "You know, my significant other or partners noticed that I'm really just a little bit labile." So I think, you know, there's the symptoms and then checking, usually kind of a gonadal panel, FSH, LH, free and total testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin, that's going to be typically pretty comprehensive. So if you've got symptoms plus some laboratory work, and ideally that pre-orchiectomy testosterone gives you some delta. If they started out at an 800, 900, now they're 400, that might be a big change for them. And then, when you talk about TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) recommendations, you know, Pedro, yourself, myself, we're kind of lucky to be at academic centers and we've got men's health colleagues that are ultra experts, but at a high level, I would say that a lot of the TRT options center around fertility goals. Exogenous testosterone treats the low T, but it does suppress gonadal function, including spermatogenesis. So if that's not a priority, they can just get TRT. It should be done under the care of a urologist, a men's health, an endocrinologist, where we're checking liver chemistries and CBCs and a PSA and so forth. If they're interested in fertility preservation, then I would say engaging an endocrinologist, men's health expert is important. There's medications even like hCG, Clomid, which works centrally and stimulate the gonadal access. Niche scenarios where they might want standard TRT now, and then down the way, 5, 7 years, they're thinking about coming off of that for fertility purposes, I think that's really where you want to have an expert involved because there's quite a bit of nuance there in recovery of actual spermatogenesis and so forth.  To kind of summarize, you got to ask about it. Checking it is, is not overly complicated. We do a baseline pre-orchiectomy and at least once annually, you can tag it in with the tumor markers, so it's not an extra blood draw. And if they have symptoms of course, kind of developed, then we'll move that up in the evaluation. Dr. Pedro Barata: Got it. And you also touch base on the fertility angle, which is truly important. And I'm just curious, you know, a lot of times many of us might see one, two patients a year, right, and we forget these protocols and what we've got to do about that.  And so I'm interested to hear your thoughts about when you think about fertility, and how proactive you get. In other words, who do you refer for the fertility clinic, for a fertility preservation program? You know, do all cases despite getting through orchiectomy or just the cases that you're going to, you know you're going to seek chemotherapy at some point? What kind of selection or it depends on the chemo, like how do you do that assessment about the referral for preservation program that you might have available at UCSD? Dr. Aditya Bagrodia: Yeah, I mean I feel really fortunate to sit on the NCCN Testis Cancer Guidelines. It's in there that fertility counseling should be discussed prior to orchiectomy. So 100% bring it up. If there are risk factors, undescended testicles, previous history of fertility concerns, atrophic contralateral testicle, anything on the ultrasound like microlithiasis in the contralateral testicle, you kind of wanna get it there. And then again, there's kind of niche scenarios where you're really worried, maybe get a semen analysis and it doesn't look that good, arrange for the time of orchiectomy to have onco-testicular sperm extraction from the, quote unquote, "normal" testis parenchyma. You know, I think you have to be kind of prepared to go that route and really make sure you're doing this completely comprehensively.  So pre-orchiectomy all patients. Don't really push for it too hard if they've got a contralateral testicle, if they've had no issues having children. There's some cost associated with this, sperm banking still isn't kind of covered even in the context of men with cancer. If they've got risk factors, absolutely pre-orchiectomy. Pre-RPLND, even though the rates of ejaculatory dysfunction at a high-volume center should be low single digits, I'll still offer it. That'd be a real catastrophe if they were in that small proportion of patients and now they're going to be reliant on things like intrauterine insemination, where it becomes quite expensive.  Pre-chemo, everybody. That's basically a standard these days where it should be discussed and it's kind of amazing currently, even if you don't have an accessible men's health fertility clinic, there are actually companies, I have no vested interest, Fellow is one such company where you can actually create an account, receive a FedEx semen analysis and cryopreservation kit, send it back in, and all CLIA certified, it's based out of California. The gentleman that runs it, is a urologist and very, very bright guy who's done a lot of great stuff for testis cancer. So, even for patients that are kind of in extremis at the hospital that kind of need to get going like yesterday, we still discuss it. We've got some mechanisms in place to either have them take a semen analysis over to our Men's Health clinic or send it off to Fellow, which I think is pretty cool and that even extends to some of our younger adolescent patients where going to a clinic and providing a sample might be tricky.  So, I think bringing it up every stage, anytime there's an intervention that might be offered, orchiectomy, chemo, surgery, radiation, it's kind of incumbent on us to discuss it. Dr. Pedro Barata: Gotcha. That's super helpful. And you also touch base on another angle, which is the psychosocial angle around this. You mentioned suicidal rates, you mentioned anxiety, perhaps depression in some cases as well as chronic fatigue, not necessarily just because of the low testosterone that you can get, but also from a psychological perspective. I'm curious, what do the recommendations look like for that? Do these patients need to see a social worker or a psychologist, or do they need to answer a screening test every time they come to see us and then based on that, we kind of escalate, take the next steps according to that? Do they see a psychologist perhaps every so often? How should that be managed and addressed? Dr. Aditya Bagrodia: It's an excellent question and again, these can be rather insidious symptoms where if you don't really dig in and inquire, they can be glossed over. I mean, how easy to say, "Your markers look okay, your scans look okay. See you in six months," and keep it kind of brief. First off, I think bringing it up proactively and normalizing it, that, "This may be something that you experience. Many people do, you're not alone, there's nothing kind of wrong with you." I also think that this is an area where support groups can be incredibly useful. We host the Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation support group here. They'll talk about chemo brain or just like a little bit of an adjustment disorder after their diagnosis. Support groups, I think are critical. As I mentioned, we have a survivorship program that's led by a combination of our med oncs, myself on the uro-onc side, as well as APPs, where we are systematically asking about essentially the whole litany of issues that may arise, including psychosocial, anxiety, depression, suicidality. And we've got a nice kind of fast path into our cancer center support services for these young men to meet with a psychologist. If that isn't going to be sufficient, they can actually see a psychiatrist to discuss medications and so forth. I do think that we've got to screen for these because, as anticipated from diagnosis, those first 2 years, we see a rise. But even 10, 15 years out, we note, compared to controls, that there is an increased level of anxiety, depression, suicidality that might not just take place at that initial acute period of diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Pedro Barata: Really well said. Super important.  So I guess if I were to put all these together, with these really amazing advances in technology, we all know AI, some of us might be more or less aware of biomarkers coming up, including microRNA for example, and others, like as I think of all these potential long term complications for these patients, look at the future, I guess, can we use this as a way to deescalate treatment where it's not really necessary, as a way to actually prevent some of these complications? Like, how do we see where we're heading? As we manage testicular cancer, let's say, within the next 5 or 10 years, do you think there's something coming up that's going to be different from what we're doing things today? Dr. Aditya Bagrodia: Totally. I mean, I think it's as exciting as a time as there's ever been, you know, maybe notwithstanding circa 1970s when platinum was discovered. So microRNAs, which you mentioned, you know, there's a new candidate biomarker, microRNA-371. We are super excited here at UCSD. We actually have it CLIA-certified available in our lab and are ordering these tests for patients kind of in their acute stage, you know, stage one and surveillance, stage two, post-RPLND, receiving chemotherapy. And essentially this is a universal germ cell tumor specific biomarker, except for teratoma, suffice it to say 90% sensitive and specific. And I think it's going to change the way that we diagnose and manage patients. You know, pre-orchiectomy, that's pretty straightforward. Post-orchiectomy, maybe we can really decrease the number of CT scans that are done. Maybe we can identify those patients that basically have occult disease where we can intervene early, either with RPLND or single cycle chemo. Post-RPLND, identify the patients who are at higher risk of relapse that may benefit from some adjuvant therapy. In the advanced setting, look at marker decline for patients in addition to standard tumor markers. Can we modulate their systemic therapy?  So, the international interest is largely on modifying things. There's really cool clinical trials that we have for stage one patients, that treatment would be prescribed based on a post-orchiectomy microRNA. I think the microRNAs are really exciting. Teratoma remains an outstanding question. I think this is where maybe ctDNA, perhaps some radiomics and advanced imaging processing and incorporating AI may allow us to safely avoid a lot of these post-chemo RPLNDs. And then identification using SNPs and so forth of who might be most susceptible to some of the cardiac toxicity, autotoxicity and personalizing things in that way as well. Dr. Pedro Barata: Super exciting, right, what's about to come? And I agree with you, I think it's going to change dramatically how we manage this disease.  This has been a pleasure sitting down with you. I guess before letting you go, anything else you'd like to add before we wrap it up? Dr. Aditya Bagrodia: Yeah, first off, again, just want to thank you and ASCO for the opportunity. And it's easy enough to, I think, approach a patient with the testicular germ cell tumor as, "This is an easy case. We're just going to do whatever we've done. Go to the guidelines that says do X, Y, or Z." But there's so much more nuance to it than that. Getting it done perfectly, I think, is mandatory. Whatever we do is an impact on them for the next 50, 60, 70 years of their life. And I found the germ cell tumor community, people are really passionate about it. If you're ever uncertain, there's experts throughout the country and internationally. Ask somebody before you do something that you can't undo. I think we owe it to them to get it perfect so that we can really maximize the survivorship and the survival like we've been talking about. Dr. Pedro Barata: Aditya, thanks for sharing your fantastic insights with us on this podcast. Dr. Aditya Bagrodia: All right, Pedro. Fantastic. Appreciate the opportunity.

Want to become a go-to name in your niche without chasing likes or followers? In this episode, Jason reveals a seven-step formula for turning yourself into a micro celebrity—someone who attracts perfect-fit clients by building real trust and authority within a small, loyal community. It's not about vanity metrics or viral fame; it's about nailing your message, showing up consistently, telling relatable stories, and leveraging other people's platforms to build credibility. With the right strategy and consistency, you can grow your influence, monetize your expertise, and create a thriving business fueled by true fans—not fleeting attention.   "Don't think you need to have a freaking crazy story—your most ordinary stories are the most extraordinary because they relate with people."   What you'll learn from this episode: Becoming a micro celebrity means getting the right attention from a small, loyal audience—not chasing vanity metrics. Nail your core message by clearly articulating your audience's problems and offering a unique solution. Show up consistently and publicly through both short-form and long-form content to build visibility and trust. Focus on tribe building—create community, use shared language, and engage deeply with your audience. Use storytelling and relatability to connect emotionally and stand out from generic information online. Leverage other people's platforms (podcasts, media, collaborations) to expand reach and establish authority.   Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

Amanda and Ash interview Charlie Kao. Charlie shares how growing up as “free labor” on his dad's properties eventually led him back into commercial real estate, where he's now best known for self-storage. He explains why he's cautious on self-storage at a national level, how overbuilding and new alternatives are changing demand, and why he's leaning into highly localized markets where he has an unfair advantage. Charlie also walks through innovative ways he's turning basic storage into a true service business, from accepting and placing medical shipments to offering boat/RV add-ons, all while using feasibility studies and data-driven pricing to stay ahead of the competition.

This week on The Songwriter Connection, we welcome the incredible Ana Cristina Cash — singer, songwriter, and powerhouse vocalist with deep roots in both country and Latin music. Born and raised in Miami, Ana Cristina began performing at an early age, signed her first record deal as a teenager, and went on to make history as one of the youngest performers to sing the National Anthem at a presidential inauguration.In this episode, Ana Cristina shares stories from her fascinating musical journey — from her bilingual upbringing and influences to collaborating with her husband, the legendary John Carter Cash, at the historic Cash Cabin Studio. She opens up about her creative process, her latest projects, and how she carries forward the legacy of great storytelling through her own authentic voice.

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Erik Huberman, founder and CEO of Hawke Media, to unpack why the old marketing playbook is broken—and what actually scales in 2025. Erik shares how AI has collapsed the product moat, making distribution, brand, and go-to-market the real advantages. He explains the “vibe” behind breakout brands (think Liquid Death) and why software companies must now win on trust, positioning, and partnerships rather than feature lists. We dig into Hawke Media's early differentiation—“your outsourced CMO,” month-to-month flexibility, and a la carte services—and how credibility compounds through consistent standards, client communication, and third-party validation (PR as trust, not awareness). Erik also breaks down the myths of ROAS, how to measure what matters across sales cycles, and a pragmatic framework for investing in founders with an unfair advantage. Finally, he offers founder operating principles: build the company you want to run, avoid burnout and bad debt, and let culture be the brand customers experience. If you lead growth, run a services firm, or invest in SaaS, this is a tactical masterclass in cutting through noise and turning credibility into compounding results.TakeawaysAI shrinks product moats; distribution and GTM become the edge.90% should be scalable, repeatable marketing; 10% creative bets to stand out.Brand “vibe” creates defensibility—even for software—by signaling trust and values.Positioning that travels (“your outsourced CMO”) fuels word-of-mouth and referrals.PR is a **trust*asset more than awareness—turn third-party moments into ads.ROAS often lies; anchor to sales cycle, lifetime value, and full-funnel ROI.Think in “half-lives”: run long enough to see conversions, then optimize and wait again.Relationships and communication keep clients through dips; performance alone isn't enough.Niche vs. breadth: define ICP and messaging; teams can specialize without shrinking TAM.Use the Rule of 40 to balance profit and growth when setting spend.Investors should seek unfair advantages: embedded founders, ecosystem ties, real GTM.Founder principle: build for yourself; avoid debt/burnout—your ambition sets the ceiling.Chapters00:00 Intro and guest setup Erik Huberman and the new moat in an AI world04:20 Distribution, partnerships, and GTM as the unfair advantage08:05 Brand “vibe” and positioning that actually travels11:45 How Hawke Media stood out the outsourced CMO model21:30 The awareness → nurture → trust framework34:40 The ROAS trap and what to measure instead44:05 Spend strategy, Rule of 40, and scaling channels47:00 Sales-cycle “half-lives” and realistic ramp timelines48:45 Make-it-work mindset for leaders and marketers52:50 Investor lens embedded founders and unfair advantages58:21 Final takeaways and closeErik Huberman's Social Media Links:https://www.instagram.com/erikhubermanhttps://x.com/ErikHubermanhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/erikhuberman/Erik Huberman's Websites:https://erikhuberman.com/https://hawkemedia.com/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

Wil talks with Jeff Perera, founder of Jeff's Bagel Run, to unpack a quintessentially scrappy entrepreneurial tale: laid off in 2019, Jeff stayed home with his kids while his wife returned to work, and, prompted by her longing for authentic New York-style bagels, he taught himself to bake from scratch in their kitchen, turning a novice's sticky-fingered mishaps (including a rescue call to King Arthur Flour's baker hotline) into a perfected recipe that evoked childhood nostalgia for his wife. What began as porch pick-ups and 20-mile deliveries for four bagels snowballed during the pandemic into home deliveries of 40 dozen a day, farmers-market lines that braved Florida rainstorms, and eventually a first leased storefront in July 2021; by 2025 the brand boasts 24 locations (6 corporate, 18 franchised), a laser-focused “bake fresh, bring joy, build community” ethos, and a franchise pipeline of 141 signed agreements—all while rejecting scalable shortcuts like frozen products or off-site baking to preserve the artisan, open-kitchen magic that turned a love story into a booming bagel empire.10 Key Takeaways Start with passion, not a plan—Jeff learned bagel-making purely to please his wife, not to launch a business; the emotional “closed-eyes, transported-to-Long Island” moment proved the recipe's power.  Do unscalable things early—driving 20 miles for four bagels, delivering porch-to-porch, and trading bagels for toilet paper during COVID built loyalty and refined operations.  Embrace humility and ask for help—calling King Arthur's hotline, inviting chef Tim Keating to critique kitchen layout, and leaning on mentors accelerated learning without ego.  Niche down ruthlessly—86'd labor-intensive black-and-white cookies rather than outsource them to uphold the “bake fresh” pillar; no freezers, no sandwiches, no toasting—just hot bagels, spreads, and coffee.  Pandemic chaos = opportunity—stockpiled flour, bought a commercial mixer, and leveraged Instagram/DM orders to scale home production to 40 dozen/day while the world shut down.  Franchising preserves community feel—chose franchise model to let owner-operators replicate the intimate, open-kitchen vibe Danielle and Jeff created in store #1.  Hire for cultural & culture fit—early hires came from Instagram video submissions; now stress team chemistry in tight QSR kitchens where “customers can tell” if the vibe is off.  Location is king—target “bagel deserts” in the Southeast/Southwest; repurpose closed Einstein, Starbucks, and bank drive-thrus; prioritize high-traffic Publix-anchored centers.  Morning-only model simplifies labor—6 a.m.–2:30 p.m. operation enables one-shift staffing, owner-operator flexibility, and weekend bonkers volume without late-night burnout.  Give back to earn loyalty—partnering with Give Kids the World, Make-A-Wish, and local schools; community pillar turns customers into advocates and franchisees into neighbors.
