The Big Unlock · Michael Docktor, MD, Co-founder and CEO of Dock Health In this episode, Dr. Michael Docktor, Co-founder and CEO at Dock Health, shares his journey from being a pediatric gastroenterologist at Boston Children's Hospital to building a healthcare technology company. Inspired by his sister's medical experiences and his family's design background, Dr. Doctor combined medicine, design, and technology to address inefficiencies in operational workflows, particularly the administrative burdens that weigh heavily on providers and staff. Dr. Docktor explains how Dock Health was created to serve as a productivity platform for healthcare, filling the gap between electronic health records (EHRs) and the countless administrative tasks not supported by them. By digitizing and streamlining processes like referrals, patient intake, and care coordination—often still managed through faxes, emails, and spreadsheets—Dock Health aims to reduce redundancy, improve visibility, and enhance the overall user experience for healthcare organizations of all sizes. The conversation also focuses on the role of AI and automation in transforming healthcare operations. Dr. Docktor highlights Dock Health's “AI‑first” approach, incorporating generative AI and agentic models to automate routine tasks while keeping humans in the loop for oversight. He envisions a near future where administrative inefficiencies are largely eliminated, giving clinicians more time with patients. Dr. Docktor also describes AI as the “big unlock” that could massively reduce the trillions wasted annually in healthcare administration, making care more efficient, accessible, and patient‑centered.

Russ Hosmer, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, certified life coach, former national-champion bodybuilder, and founder of Constant Progression, an online life coaching and personal development platform serving clients worldwide, joins Discover Lafayette to discuss his mission to help others reach their full potential. Russ grew up in New Jersey, just outside of New York City. At 17, his parents retired and moved to Alabama. He studied at Jacksonville State University and worked in health club turnarounds: “We found the gyms and the health clubs that were in the red, and we brought them into the black. We got the management together, the business side of it, and got them better and rolling.” Russ was a bodybuilder alongside business: “I was a state champion when I was a teenager… top five in the national championship. I was a national champion twice. Two times. Two years in a row as the first one to ever do that.” That era cemented discipline: “I was blessed. I was doing what I love… when you do that, you don't ever work a day in your life.” Choosing the Marines, Special Operations, and What Service Really Looked Like “My family is Marine Corps. My grandfather was a WWII veteran and my brother was a Marine… it was almost like, well, I have to do that.” He enlisted on a whim, calling it “probably the greatest decision of my life.” Boot camp at Parris Island: “They start drilling leadership principles into you the day you get there… It's a transformation process. It's the title,, being a Marine. So you have to earn it.” After graduating top of his class in the School of Infantry, he went to amphibious reconnaissance / special operations: “We're like 1% of the Marine Corps.” Operational reality: “Less than 1% of the Marine Corps see combat. We do more hospitable missions than we do combat missions. It's urban warfare, small unit tactics. We don't actually fight other countries like uniform military. it's a different world we live in.” He traveled extensively: “I was in 37 countries in three years. I was deployed a lot. But I volunteered because that's what I wanted to do.” PTSD, Loss, and a Five-Year Turning Point Russ is candid: “I do have severe PTSD… I didn't know I had it for years. Then all of a sudden, it was really bad.” Compounding events:“I lost my corporate job during COVID. I had been a senior executive of a Fortune 500 company for twenty years. Then my dad died, and my mom died, then my older brother died." It left him “in a very dark place, kind of lost." "I decided, you know what? I need to help people overcome the PTSD, get the resilience and the mindset, and learn how the mind works and how the body works. And why is this happening?" On the rate of veterans committing suicide, Russ says, “They say it's 22 a day. There's a lot more than that. They don't have help, they think it's a sign of weakness. But you admitting it and talking about it, that's a sure sign of strength.” From a five-year journey, he created Constant Progression: “We're always looking to be our best self. We're all on that journey of constant progression.” Training the Marines & A Vanderbilt Recovery Study That “Changed Everything” After instructing at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, Russ became a Physical Training Advisor for the Eastern Recruiting Region—“anything east of the Mississippi River… the whole East Coast.” His remedial programs “went before Congress and they actually enacted those into standard operating procedures… now a part of the Marine Corps training standards.” Russ helped run a muscle recovery study with Vanderbilt University to reduce injuries and attrition: “We had a lot of lower body extremities' injuries, especially with the female recruits… hip fractures and femur fractures, tibia fractures… kids nowadays… they don't eat well.” Findings touched hydration, chow hall practices, food quantity by body weight, and training tweaks (including pull-up progression): “The best way t...

NIO Q2 2025 Earnings Analysis: The Objective Bull's PerspectiveNIO just reported their Q2 2025 earnings with a $697 million loss, and instead of rushing out a hot take, I waited 24 hours to let the numbers marinate. As a NIO bull trying to stay objective, here's my honest breakdown of what these earnings really mean.What We Cover:NIO's narrowed losses and improved operational efficiencyThe path to Q4 profitability - realistic or overpromised again?Multi-brand strategy momentum (NIO, Onvo, Firefly)September delivery guidance that could break recordsCommunity reactions from bulls, bears, and everyone in betweenWhy the energy ecosystem angle changes everythingBalance sheet concerns and cash runway realityTechnical competitive advantages being overlooked2026 product roadmap and strategic focusKey Takeaways:NIO posted their smallest loss since Q4 2023 with 26% quarter-over-quarter improvement. R&D expenses down 6.6% while deliveries jumped 71% QoQ. The company is targeting 150,000 Q4 deliveries and their first quarterly profit.But execution remains the biggest question mark. William Li has missed delivery and profitability targets before. The difference this time? Operational improvements are already showing, and the multi-brand strategy is gaining real traction.The Bottom Line:NIO is at an inflection point. The next six months will determine whether they become the Chinese Tesla or a cautionary tale about overpromising. Current share price around $6.32 suggests the market is pricing in about 50/50 odds of successful execution.This isn't financial advice - just one NIO bull's attempt to stay grounded while analyzing one of the most controversial stocks in the EV space.#NIO #EVStocks #EarningsAnalysis #ChineseEVs #NIOStock #BatterySwapping #ElectricVehicles #StockAnalysis #Investing #TechStocks

Are you wondering why Your SaaS GTM Isn't Working, And How to Fix It with Operational Discipline? In today's competitive business environment, success depends not just on great products, but on how effectively you bring them to market. Yet, many companies struggle with go-to-market (GTM) strategies that fall apart under pressure. Why? Because marketing and sales often operate in silos, pulling in different directions instead of working as a unified force. Think of it this way: marketing should act as the recon team, gathering intelligence, identifying opportunities, and setting the stage. Sales, on the other hand, is the strike team—responsible for execution and closing.

In today's episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Daniel Angel-Mejia, managing partner at Apex Investments, for a conversation about sustainable real estate growth, building solid operations, and finding your way into development the smart way. Daniel brings international experience and a background in finance to his work in residential real estate, combining strategic planning with on-the-ground execution to drive long-term returns. Daniel's investing career began in Colombia, working with institutional clients before moving to the U.S. and landing in Atlanta. Initially focused on single-family fix-and-flips, he gradually shifted toward building portfolios, multifamily acquisitions, and now, ground-up residential development. He explains how this progression unfolded, the importance of starting where you are, and why consistency beats shortcuts when trying to scale. One of the key themes of this episode is building vertically integrated operations for long-term efficiency. Daniel shares why his team is transitioning property management in-house, even before hitting massive scale, and how that decision aligns with their larger strategy. He also breaks down how he and his partner approach market selection, development planning, and build-to-rent (BTR) versus for-sale projects. Jonathan and Daniel discuss how communication with tenants and communities plays a role in stabilizing properties, particularly when repositioning mom-and-pop multifamily assets. Daniel explains how they've created win-win situations by being transparent, planning thoughtfully, and offering quality upgrades that residents appreciate. Whether you're early in your investing journey or ready to shift into development and management, Daniel's experience offers a clear-eyed look at what it takes to build durable, profitable systems that adapt to changing market conditions. In this episode, you will hear: How Daniel Angel-Mejia shifted from international investing to U.S. residential development What his early single-family flips taught him about scaling responsibly Why his team is moving toward full vertical integration with property management Ways tenant communication affects long-term occupancy and turnover How Apex Investments is growing its build-to-rent portfolio in the Atlanta market Lessons learned from working with both institutional and mom-and-pop sellers Operational changes that make small-scale developments more efficient The importance of staying specialized while remaining open to future opportunities Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.
