Are you new to the medical device industry—or mentoring someone who is? In this foundational episode of the Global Medical Device Podcast, host Etienne Nichols sits down with Sara Adams and Chris Rush from Greenlight Guru to deliver a MedTech 101 masterclass. They unpack the roles, regulations, and realities of medical device development in a heavily regulated space. From defining what actually counts as a medical device to navigating FDA classifications and global regulations, the trio offers practical insights, industry analogies, and personal war stories that make this episode as entertaining as it is educational. Whether you're in R&D, marketing, clinical, or quality, this is the episode to bookmark and share with every new hire.Key Timestamps02:20 – What counts as a medical device? Intended use and labeling06:48 – Differentiating roles: Quality, Regulatory, Clinical, R&D, and Marketing15:40 – Understanding regulatory bodies: FDA, EU MDR, Health Canada, and more20:15 – FDA Classifications: Class I, II, III, and what determines risk26:00 – Standards to know: ISO 13485, 14971, 14155, 21 CFR Part 82033:05 – FDA pathways: 510(k), De Novo, PMA – when and why they apply41:55 – The design control matrix explained (User Needs through Validation)49:00 – Reverse engineering design controls: pitfalls and best practices55:30 – Clinical trials vs. preclinical studies: When each is required1:00:45 – Manufacturing & supplier controls: operations meets compliance1:04:15 – Final advice for MedTech newcomers: Read the regs and know the problemQuotes“Just because you don't call it a medical device doesn't mean the FDA agrees with you.” – Sarah AdamsThis quote highlights a key regulatory pitfall: your marketing claims, not just your label, determine if the FDA considers your product a medical device.“A 510(k) is like someone checking your wristband at the door—you're cleared to go in. A PMA? That's a locked door and you need full approval to enter.” – Chris RushA memorable analogy that demystifies the difference between FDA clearance and approval pathways.Top TakeawaysLabeling + Intended Use = Regulatory TriggerWhether it's software or a simple tool, if your product makes medical claims or supports medical decision-making, it may fall under FDA or other international regulatory oversight.Regulatory Pathways Are Tied to Risk and NoveltyKnow the difference between a 510(k), De Novo, and PMA. Class II “me-too” devices may avoid clinical trials, while Class III and novel devices usually require significant evidence.Understand Design Controls EarlyReverse-engineering documentation late in development is risky and inefficient. Start early with user needs and build forward through the five pillars: inputs, outputs, verification, and validation.Cross-functional Understanding Prevents Compliance GapsMarketing, clinical, and R&D all influence regulatory standing. Even social media likes can trigger off-label scrutiny—every department needs to understand their regulatory impact.Reading Regulations Is Not OptionalA strong regulatory foundation is key to faster development, better audits, and smoother market access. Resources like 21 CFR Part 820 and ISO 13485 are surprisingly readable and essential.References & ResourcesEtienne Nichols on LinkedInChris Rush on LinkedIn

En Belgique, une grossesse sur quatre se termine prématurément. L'interruption spontanée de grossesse, communément appelée fausse couche toucherait une femme sur dix au cours de sa vie. Sentiment d'échec, d'incompréhension, de culpabilité voire de honte... autant de ressentis partagés par ces femmes et parfois par leurs entourages. Un roman graphique intitulé "Fausse couche, vraie question" (éd. Glénat) revient sur cette thématique trop souvent taboue. L'autrice, Mathilde Lemiesle, et Jeanne Sompo, animatrice de groupes de paroles sont en studio pour en parler. "Fausse couche, vraie question" Mathilde Lemiesle (éd.

Cet épisode a été diffusé pour la première fois le 21 novembre 2024.Ce sont des femmes de tous âges, aux histoires amoureuses variées, mais toutes ont fait un même choix : avoir un enfant sans partenaire, grâce à la procréation médicalement assistée, aussi appelée PMA ou AMP. En France, ces maternités solo ont gagné en visibilité depuis 2021 et l'ouverture de la PMA aux couples de femmes et aux femmes célibataires. Depuis, la demande a explosé. Mais dans les faits, l'accès à la PMA reste long, et les mères solo doivent aussi surmonter les difficultés du quotidien sans partenaire à leurs côtés. Dans cet épisode de Sur le Fil, nous vous proposons de les écouter, pour décrypter les motivations de celles pour qui le couple n'est pas un impératif pour fonder une famille.Réalisation : Sarah MiansoniSur le Fil est le podcast quotidien de l'AFP.

De plus en plus de femmes, chaque année en France, font la démarche d'avoir un enfant en solo. Depuis, l'ouverture de la PMA à toutes les femmes en 2021, celles-ci peuvent bénéficier d'un don de sperme en France et ne sont plus contraintes de se render à l'étranger pour concrétiser leur projet et concevoir un enfant.Quelles sont les spécificités de ces parcours hors des sentiers battus ? Comment se construit le choix de la maternité en solo? Quels sont les enjeux autour du don de gametes? Et comment accompagner les enfants nés dans ces configurations familiales?Autant de questions que nous abordons dans cet episode avec Mariama Soiby de l'association Mam'En Solo.Écoutez Parentalité(s) sur Deezer, Apple Podcast et Spotify.Retrouvez et suivez Parentalité(s) sur instagram Hébergé par Acast.

Alexis Brézet, analyse la relation entre le président français Emmanuel Macron et le pape François. Malgré les efforts de rapprochement, il semble que le souverain pontife n'ait jamais vraiment apprécié la France d'Emmanuel Macron, préférant se concentrer sur d'autres pays et causes. Les réformes sociétales menées en France, comme l'élargissement de la PMA ou la légalisation de l'euthanasie, auraient notamment créé des tensions entre Paris et le Vatican. Cet épisode offre un éclairage passionnant sur les enjeux politiques et diplomatiques qui se cachent derrière les relations entre l'Église et l'État français.Notre équipe a utilisé un outil d'Intelligence artificielle via les technologies d'Audiomeans© pour accompagner la création de ce contenu écrit.Distribué par Audiomeans.

Après plus de 15 ans passés aux États-Unis, Pauline Forgeard-Grignon rentre en France avec sa compagne et leurs deux enfants.Un retour aux sources ? Oui … mais pas exactement.Une nouvelle expatriation ? Plutôt.Mais Pauline ne fuit rien. Sa famille, elle le sait, n'aurait pu exister ainsi sans la dernière décennie qu'elle a passée aux Etats-Unis. Son amour des Etats-Unis est intact, sa passion pour les locaux et leur culture aussi. Oui mais … le désir profond de se rapprocher de ses racines aussi. Dans cet épisode, Pauline partage avec humour, tendresse et beaucoup de recul son rêve américain devenu réalité… avant de choisir la Charente-Maritime plutôt que le Colorado.On y parle de PMA, de tacos texans, de parentalité, de carrière passionnée (et parfois trop), et de ce que ça change, au fond, de vivre entre deux cultures !Un épisode enregistré dans ma cuisine lors des dernières vacances de Pauline dans le Colorado

Lorsque l'on a vécu un parcours PMA qui n'a pas abouti et qui a eu des répercussions désastreuses sur le couple, il est évident que dans notre vie d'après, le désir d'enfant est un sujet sensible, crispant, cristallisant beaucoup de ressentis et de craintes, allant parfois jusqu'a être évité. On sait comme il est difficile de se retrouver confronté à la société, lorsque notre parcours traine en longueur. Aujourd'hui, je vous invite à écouter un témoignage à la fois intime et lumineux, celui d'un couple de femmes dont l'une a traversé un parcours de PMA long et douloureux dans une vie d'avant — un parcours semé d'attentes, de déceptions, aboutissant finalement à une rupture. Dans cet épisode, Anaïs et Mélanie nous racontent comment, alors que leur histoire n'était pas destinée à durer, elles ont vu re-naitre ce désir d'enfant. Elles nous confient leur botte secrète pour éviter de reproduire l'histoire: une préparation complète, qui couvrent tous les plans de leur vie, avec l'appui de professionnels de confiance. Elles ont mené leur parcours au Portugal— cette fois, avec d'autres repères, une autre force, et surtout, une autre histoire à écrire, celle de Raphaël qui les comble depuis quelques mois. Cet épisode met en lumière la résilience, l'espoir, et le droit de recommencer… Evidement, il ne pouvait en être autrement avec Mélanie et Anaïs à mon micro, il dévoile aussi les coulisses moins visibles du monde de l'influence.Maintenant que je vous ai mis l'eau à la bouche, je vous laisse découvrir leur histoire et je vous souhaite une bonne écoute.

Élodie avait 36 ans lorsqu'elle et son conjoint ont eu ce fameux désir d'accueillir un enfant dans leur Vie. Cet âge qui classait alors immédiatement Élodie dans ce que notre pays appelle : une grossesse gériatrique. Malheureusement, cette grossesse mettra du temps à venir, puisque Élodie vient dans cet épisode vous résumer les 5 années d'attente à travers le parcours P.M.A qu'elle a vécues avec son conjoint avant d'avoir leur fille, naturellement.Élodie revient sur son opération pour l'endométriose visant à retirer les lésions provoquées par la maladie, une opération qui pour elle n'aura pas l'effet escompté. S'en suivent les examens classiques pour le parcours P.M.A., des examens plus ou moins invasifs pour la personne, des injections d'hormones particulièrement désagréables ... et puis arrive la pandémie de COVID-19 et avec le rapatriement des médecins qui travaillent dans les centres P.M.A. qui signe la fermeture momentanée de ces derniers.Cette pause imposée par la pandémie était sans doute nécessaire pour Élodie, même si difficile à "digérer" sur le moment, elle marque l'arrêt des injections d'hormones.Au sortir de cette guerre sanitaire, Élodie revoit son médecin qui lui dit qu'il n'ira pas plus loin avec elle en raison des antécédents de cancers du sein dans sa famille et des injections d'hormones conséquentes : le risque non établi mais fort plausible d'une conséquence des secondes sur les premiers fait que le suivi avec son médecin s'arrête là.Le seul choix restant : le don d'ovocytes en France OU s'orienter vers un centre dédiée à la P.M.A. à l'étranger qui bénéficie de matériels et d'expertises plus poussés qu'en France. C'est vers cette deuxième possibilité que leur dernier choix se pose.Alors qu'Élodie monte le dossier d'emprunt auprès de sa banque pour financer ce nouveau parcours... et alors qu'elle n'a toujours pas repris les injections d'hormones... elle se rend compte qu'elle a un retard de règles... et qu'elle est enceinte...Élodie vous parlera pour terminer de sa propre naissance de maman à travers un accouchement qui avait pour unique projet de naissance : un bébé en bonne santé !Un épisode extrêmement puissant par l'incroyable force d'Élodie mais également particulièrement nourricier pour les femmes et les couples qui traversent ou ont traversé une situation similaire à celle d'Élodie !Une belle écoute à vous les MaMaS !Pour suivre MAM'ELLES sur Instagram : @mamelles_lepodcastMon site internet : mamelles.frMAM'ELLES est un podcast réalisé par Marion TERTEREAU, juriste, podcasteuse et conférencière.

For too many decades, the M side of OMB played second fiddle to the budget side, but the Republican nominee for president, George W Bush, and his team, began charting a path to change that. The way the Bush administration pumped up the M side of OMB was with the introduction of the President's management agenda, or the PMA. As part of Federal News Networks 25th anniversary celebration, the PMA has been named a top moment in the last 25 years, and executive editor Jason Miller joins me now to tell us why.

With today's twenty-four hour news cycle, coupled with the rise of social media, we often feel as though we are constantly being bombarded with headlines, most of them negative. It can be hard to keep any kind of positive attitude at all as we are perpetually reminded of all the things that are wrong in the world. Before long, we find ourselves feeling stuck and hopeless. Vet tech and behavior specialist Tabitha Kucera knows those feelings of depression and hopelessness, but she also knows the immense power of having a PMA--positive mental attitude--especially when things are hard. That doesn't mean falling into toxic positivity, but instead finding the good where it is, recognizing what is in your power to do, and learning to be kind to yourself. Tune in as we discuss the value of finding and providing mentorship, learning to understand yourself, and the importance of knowing your own worth.

  Dans cet épisode, je reçois Agnès Buzyn. Issue d'une famille marquée par l'Histoire, Agnès grandit avec un héritage puissant : son père a survécu à Auschwitz, tandis que sa mère fut une enfant cachée de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L'un devient chirurgien, l'autre psychanalyste. Dans ce contexte, Agnès apprend très tôt la résilience , le sens de l'Humain et du devoir. Timide et réservée, elle grandit avec l'idée qu'elle ne doit pas déranger. Élève brillante, Agnès s'oriente vers la médecine. Agnès nous raconte comment elle est parvenue à mener une carrière scientifique de premier plan, tout en jonglant avec sa vie de famille et en étant témoin de la misogynie du milieu à l'époque. En mai 2017, une proposition plutôt inattendue vient bouleverser son parcours : On lui propose de devenir Ministre des Solidarités et de la Santé sous le gouvernement d'Édouard Philippe. Agnès doit prendre sa décision en seulement trois heures, consciente que c'est une proposition qui ne se refuse pas. Elle découvre alors les rouages du pouvoir, son cynisme, ses stratégies, et ses conflits d'intérêts potentiels. En tant que ministre, Agnès Buzyn a mené des réformes majeures parmi lesquelles l'extension des vaccins obligatoires pour les enfants, la hausse du prix des paquets de cigarettes ou encore la loi bioéthique, ouvrant la PMA aux couples de femmes et aux femmes célibataires. En janvier 2020,  Agnès identifie via un tweet une situation préoccupante venue de Chine. Quelques mois plus tard, la France et le monde se retrouvait confrontée.à l'une des plus grandes pandémie: la Covid 19. De cette période, Agn!s consignera tous les détails dans un journal, révélant les coulisses de la gestion de la pandémie et surtout dans le but d'être utile et de léguer cette phase importante de sa vie à ses enfants. Après son poste au ministère, elle poursuit son engagement au sein de l'OMS en tant qu'envoyée spéciale, avant d'être nommée en 2022 conseillère maître à la Cour des comptes.

Krisin and Meagan talk specifics on HOW to switch providers if you're feeling the push to do so.Once we have our dream team, we're good and don't have to do any more work, right? Nope! We keep educating and preparing ourselves. That's the way to truly get the most out of that dream team. Kristin's book ‘Supported: Your Guide to Birth and Baby' is a one-stop shop where you can get all of the education you need for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Her advice is so valuable for VBAC moms and birth workers, too!Supported: Your Guide to Birth and BabyAsk the Doulas PodcastNeeded WebsiteHow to VBAC: The Ultimate Prep Course for ParentsFull Transcript under Episode Details Meagan: Hello. Hello. We have a special episode for you today. We have my friend, Kristin, who is actually the owner of Ask the Doulas Podcast on with us today. She is going to be talking about establishing our birth team and the importance of it. We're going to talk a little bit more about what to expect when we might not find a provider that's supportive and how to navigate it. She's going to talk more about her book and so many things. You guys, I'm really excited. Kristin is a woman who has always had a passion for supporting other women both personally and professionally. In college, Kristin served on the executive committee of her sorority and organized events on campus related to breast cancer and other women's issues. After the birth of her daughter in 2011, a new passion awoke within her. Kristin began reading and studying birth from all perspectives, philosophies, and medical approaches. She joined organizations like The Healthy Kent Breastfeeding Collation and used her event coordinating skills to build and promote the organization and create community awareness. You guys, she has done so many incredible things. Kristin's research has led her to learn more about doulas, and in 2012, she hired doulas herself for the support of her second birth. The level of compassionate care and comfort that she received from her doulas ignited a spark within her and led her down the path of becoming a doula herself. And man, can I connect to this because this is exactly what happened to me. When you guys have a doula who inspires you and touches you and motivates you the way it sounds like Kristin did and I did, even though my doula wasn't a hired doula, she was just a nurse that was a doula for the time being, it does something to you. She earned the certification and became teaching sacred pregnancy classes in 2013. But as you'll see, Kristin is a firm believer in achieving the highest level of education available when providing a service. Shortly after, she earned the following credentials-- you guys, are you ready for this? She's amazing. Oh my gosh. Certified Sacred Doula in 2014. She is a Certified Elite Labor through ProDoula. She is the Elite Postpartum and Infant Care Doula through ProDoula. She's trained in Spinning Babies, Newborn Specialist, Mother Ship, Certified Health Service Provider, certified in VBAC. She is certified in transformational birth and a birth coach for the Birth Coach Method. She is a certified pregnancy and infant loss advocate and certified gift registry expert through Be Her Village, who we will talk about. We both love them so much.She is also an author of a book which we will be sharing more about. It's called Supported: Your Guide to Birth and Baby. So without further ado, we are actually going to be skipping a review today and an educational topic because this is such a great episode to be educated and learn more about what Kristin is offering in her community. Okay, my love. Hello. Kristin: Hello.Meagan: We're officially getting going talking about this amazing topic. Tell me what you think about this. I think sometimes people want to assemble this dream team, but they let finances or even partners or other opinions get in the way.Kristin: Yes. Partner comfort level, especially with VBACs is key, or with clients of mine who want their dream is to have a home birth and their partner isn't supportive, so then they say, "Oh, it'll be with the next baby if everything goes well in the hospital." But then if they're a complication, they might risk out of the option of home. I think as consumers, we don't fully appreciate the ability to choose all of our birth and baby team. We can change providers. I switched providers with my first pregnancy early on because I didn't feel like that particular OB was on board with my plans to have an unmedicated hospital birth. I ended up switching to Certified Nurse Midwives and completely changed practices, completely changed hospitals in fact. It's a lot. Meagan: Yeah.Kristin: But it was worth it. And I had the time where it was easier to switch, but I've had clients switch very late in pregnancy. It was harder to find the right office to accept them, but with VBACs, it is crucial to have not just a VBAC-tolerant provider, but someone who is fully on board with your unique desires because we are all individuals.Meagan: Yes. I love that you said your unique desires. Everybody is different. I think it's really important to tell these providers what your desires are. We have a list of questions that we give people in our course and, of course, on the podcast. You can go down that list and check and be like, "Okay, this provider seems pretty supportive," but you guys have to tailor your questions and your provider. You have to tailor it to what your individual unique circumstances and desires are because everyone's is different. I would love to know. You said, I was realizing that this wasn't the right place. What kind of things were you hearing or being told or feeling when you were realizing that maybe your first provider wasn't going to be as supportive and in line with your unique decisions?Kristin: Just when I was talking about my wishes, I could tell that that particular provider liked structure and patience to get that epidural, and so once I started talking about movement, delivering in different positions and some of the things I had researched-- I hadn't yet taken a childbirth class because it was early in pregnancy, but I had done a fair bit of research before knowing what a doula was. I didn't hire doulas until my second. But I could just tell in that gut feeling which I rely on. Again, we're all unique. And yes, I do research, but I make decisions on am I comfortable spending my entire pregnancy with someone who can tolerate me and will say, "Okay"? But I could tell it didn't light her up. So once I found a practice where my nurse-midwife spent time with me, I had longer appointments, I could ask questions, and she was 100% on board with me, and then I was able to meet the other midwives and the OBs who oversaw them throughout the remainder of my pregnancy. I felt very cared for. And again, we are consumers. Whether your insurance pays for everything or you're paying for part of it, you don't get a do-over of your birth, and so it is so important, especially with that first birth to get the care team that aligns with you. That could be everything from a Webster-certified chiropractor, a physical therapist, a mental health therapist to deal with any anxieties that may come up with having a VBAC and getting a lot of fear-filled advice from friends and family members. I find that again, my clients are all unique individuals, and my students in Becoming a Mother Course, and now the readers in my book, have different goals, so I want them to choose the best plan for them. I love that you have worksheets and templates, but knowing that every situation is different whether it's a home birth, a trial of labor, or a hospital birth, that setting is different and the type of provider whether it's a nurse-midwife or an OB practice, how likely is the OB that is very VBAC-supportive going to be attending your birth? Are there 12 providers or are there only 4? And so there's just so many things to factor in when deciding what is important to you.Meagan: Yeah. That point that you just brought up, are there 12 providers? Are there only 4? Does your provider guarantee that they'll be there? These are things that I think a lot of people may not be aware of that because they found their provider. They're feeling good about their provider. They're jiving. They're having the feels, but then they may not be the ones to be there, so there are 11 other options. It feels overwhelming to be like, "Wait, wait. Do I interview all 11?" Yeah, guys. Yeah. You set up visits. It's okay. Go and see if you can meet with those. Make sure that that full team is aligned. It is a lot. That's a lot to take on, but it's okay to rotate and say, "Hey, I saw Dr. Jack last time. I'd like to see Dr. Joe this time," or whatever it may be. Really, really dive in, find out more about your provider's team if they have a team, and make sure that they align with your unique decisions and desires.Kristin: Absolutely. And that goes for doulas as well.Meagan: Oh, yeah.Kristin: So for VBAC clients, I, over the last couple of years, I do all of the matchmaking, I like to call it, between client and the birth doulas and postpartum doulas on my team, in fact. I like to find out what they're looking for. If they are attempting a VBAC, then many times, they're telling me they want a VBAC-certified doula. I have doulas that have gone through your program and are certified through you and other different VBAC trainings. They're not just wanting VBAC experience like in my early days of having Gold Coast Doulas. Now, they're wanting that certification because they know that information is being updated as things change. And there's more evidence for VBACs. They also want more than just, "Oh, I've attended four VBACs." They want the education behind it. So I think that is crucial. I'm not going to match, unless there's no one else available on my team, a client with someone who is not certified as a VBAC doula.Meagan: Yeah, I do the same thing with my group here where they're like, "This is really important to me. I want this specific type of doula." Some of my doulas have taken The VBAC Link course. And so I'm like, "Yep, this would be who I would suggest." But I also want to point out that even if you assemble your dream team doula, and they've got all the education and information on VBAC, and they're up to date, I want to just point out that it doesn't mean that you shouldn't inform yourself that you shouldn't get the information because sometimes I feel like it's easy to want to just hire your provider or your doula or your person and let them who know VBAC kind of help and guide you. But it is really important. You're doing yourself a disservice if you personally do not learn more about VBAC and your options as well and rely only on your provider or your doula.Kristin: 100%. The doula, I mean, unless you're paying her for it, will not be attending every one of your prenatal visits during pregnancy. The education that you have to make informed questions and decisions surrounding your birth plan or birth preference sheet, so those conversations are critical. The more information you have as a patient, the better. And as we all know, unless you're having a home birth, your visits are short even with a nurse-midwife. And so it's important to have those questions and to have time to really express concerns. Or if you're finding that that practice or that provider is not in line with your plans, then you can look at other options. And the hospital-- are VBACs even allowed at the hospital that you plan to deliver at? Are they going to induce? What are the Cesarean rates? And looking at all of the different options, and if you need to consider NICUs, that's always a factor in hospital selection as well.Meagan: Yeah, I'm going to kind of go back to where we were in the beginning where you realized based after your feelings and other things that this provider was not the right provider for you, you then changed to CNMs and had a much better experience. Can you discuss your process of that change? How did you change? Did you find the CNMs, have them request your information from the OB? Did you do a formal breakup with your OB? What suggestions would you give to someone who is wanting to do that? I know that sometimes, you were talking about it, in the end, it's a little harder to find, so that's why we stress so importantly to find your provider from the beginning. But we know that sometimes things change. So can you kind of talk about that process in then assembling that dream and getting the steps to get to that dream team?Kristin: Yes. So for me, I had asked friends about which providers they had worked with. So the original OB, a friend of mine, it was her doctor, and she had a great experience. I just wasn't feeling it. She had a student. We have teaching hospitals in my area, so there was a student in the room. I wasn't feeling like she was 100% on board. I could tell that she was very medically driven. I wanted essentially a home birth in a hospital. So I talked to more friends and did research online, and a friend of mine had used this particular practice. I ended up going with the midwife that delivered her three children, and it worked out beautifully because it was early in pregnancy. That practice had openings. It took me a while because I was changing hospitals and practices completely. My insurance, luckily, covered all of the options. But that's another thing to look into. Does your insurance cover the hospital where the provider you want to switch to delivers that if it is a hospital birth? Of course, you can VBAC at home in certain states. So just looking at all of the factors that would come into play. So for me, it was dealing with the paperwork of switching out of that practice, getting admitted, and going to that initial get-to-know-you visit with a nurse and doing my labs before I got to meet with the midwife that I had wanted to work with. And so it took a bit. I mean, no one likes to deal with the paperwork and the phone calls it takes, but your health is so important and especially again, for VBACs.Meagan: Yeah. So you essentially did all the paperwork and the transfer yourself.Kristin: Yes.Meagan: Okay.Kristin: I made all the phone calls, dealt with insurance and made sure that the initial visit was paid for along with the nurse visit, and then that insurance was comfortable with me.Meagan: Yeah. Awesome. Yeah, I did, when I switched, because I switched it 24 weeks, my midwife just faxed a request to my OB office. It took them a while to send it. We had to ask five times which I think probably would have been faster if I, like you, made the phone calls and did all the things, but I was like in this weird, vulnerable spot of like, I don't want to go back there.Kristin: Right. You don't want to deal with it.Meagan: Yeah, I don't want to deal with it.Kristin: Even just talking to the front desk.Meagan: Yeah, yeah. So we waited for it and they eventually got it. But I think that that's important to note. You guys can make the calls too. You can call and say, "Hey, I'd like to request my records to be printed out or to be sent to this place." Kristin: Yes, and that's what I did. Because otherwise it's six weeks oftentimes or you have to keep calling. They get lost. so I just handled it. But it can be challenging. And as doulas and certainly VBAC doulas, we know the providers who would be not only tolerant but supportive of VBAC. So we get those questions frequently from potential clients and clients of, am I at the right place? And of course, we support whoever our clients choose to have care from. But there's also, if asked, I will tell them about the practice and my own experience as a doula or the agency's experience. And again, in those large practices, there might be four who are so VBAC-supportive. They love it, but then there might be some physicians who are not as comfortable. They feel that a surgical birth might be the better route to go, ad so there's that. So what I like to do as a VBAC doula is to have my clients talk to their provider. Again, go over a birth plan or birth preference sheet and have them sign off on it. That way, if they don't attend the birth, then the other physicians know that this was approved. It's not just a birth plan that is thrown out there, but it has been discussed. It doesn't work all the time, but it has been helpful for my clients no matter if they're a VBAC client or this is their first baby, and again, they have certain goals that they want to achieve like potentially avoiding an induction unless medically necessary.Meagan: Oh my gosh. So I'm just going to re-touch on that, you guys, because that was really, really, really good advice and something I've actually never done or even thought about or suggested to my own doula practice clients. Get your birth preference sheet or birth plans everyone calls a difference. I call it a birth preference sheet, which is a list of all your preferences that you desire. Go over that with your provider, and have them physically sign it. Physically sign it and date it showing that your provider went over it. And like she said, every provider may not be willing to do that, but I will say, if a provider is willing to do that, that says something to me.Kristin: It does. Yes.Meagan: Yeah. Super powerful. Oh, my gosh. Okay, nugget. Grab it, put it in your pocket, everybody. Sign your birth preference sheet so you can have it and keep that in your bag, so if you do have that random on-call doctor who may not even know you or not be so supportive, be like, "This has already been discussed. We were aware of this. My doctor has signed off." Also, you could maybe ask if your provider could make a copy of that and put it in your chart.Kristin: Right. Because yes, it's not just the one that they have on file, but it's also for the ones that you have, that copy that you're bringing and showing the nurse so the nurse and everyone is on the same page. Meagan: Love that. Kristin: And again, with teaching hospitals, you might have residents in and out. There can be some difficult conversations with VBAC and residents who have never seen a VBAC. We're not fully trained yet to support VBAC, and so they might be making suggestions while the provider is not in that check-in. So every state, again, every area is different. I just happen to be in an area with multiple teaching hospitals.Meagan: Same here. We have seen it where I think, I don't want to say this badly. The VBAC world is a world that can have a lot of negativities in it, negative things and big words like uterine rupture. We've got residents who may be coming in and may be training under a provider who has seen a uterine rupture or has maybe molded an opinion on VBAC and is projecting their opinion to that student. Whether or not they're consciously doing it or not, they're saying their opinion, and those opinions might morph that resident's opinion into negative for VBAC. You never know. And so they might be doing things or be more hesitant in areas that they don't need to be, but they are.Kristin: Yeah, it's such a good point. And as you mentioned, I mean, we don't know the traumas that our nurses and medical team, even home birth midwives, have experienced, and they carry that with them. And how can they not? Even as doulas, we witness, but we don't have the liability and the medical training to make it, but we are witnesses of trauma and have our own healing to do to be able to better move on and support the next client. So certainly keeping that in mind that they may have seen something that alters the way they practice.Meagan: Yeah.Kristin: It's not just fear of lawsuits.Meagan: It's really not. It's not. There's a provider here in Utah who is literally so scared of vaginal birth herself. She scheduled all of her Cesareans, even the very first one from the get. She never had trial of labor or TOL. She just doesn't. So can you imagine what her Cesarean rate may be? And she kind of reminds me of the provider you're talking about. She really likes it just so controlled. Come in, start Pitocin, and get the epidural. She likes those things, which we know can sometimes lead to those Cesareans. And so really also discussing with your provider, how do you feel about birth? Have you had babies? And then we have another OB who's like, "I work in the hospital, and I love the hospital, and I trust the hospital system, but I actually gave birth at home with all three of my babies," and so really getting to know your provider, I think, is so good. Okay, let's keep going on this topic of assembling your dream team of experts when planning for birth and baby. What other things would you suggest to our Women of Strength?Kristin: Yes. So as we know, birth is as physical as it is mental, and just the opposite, as mental as it is physical. So preparing with a childbirth class, a comprehensive class, even if you took one before, use the lens of your goal of attempting a VBAC, a trial of labor. And so for us, we happen to teach HypnoBirth at Gold Coast Doulas and that mind/body connection that HypnoBirthing or a gentle birth offers where it's more of using the visualization the way an athlete would in preparing for a marathon or a triathlon, you are using things to reduce fear. You're understanding all of your options. It's very partner involved. I think taking a comprehensive childbirth class, whichever meets your individual goals, is great. That childbirth instructor is a great person to add to your birth and baby team. And then moving your body. So taking a fitness class that is appropriate for pregnancy. So prenatal yoga, there are Barre classes for pregnancy. There are prenatal belly dancing classes, whatever it is. Meagan: Aqua aerobics.Kristin: Yeah, water aerobics are amazing. And so thinking about baby's position and helping labor to go on its own or be quicker. There's acupuncture, acupressure, the Webster-certified chiro for positioning or body balancing experts, so many different options. But I am a big fan of educating yourself and preparing because as you mentioned earlier, Meagan, a doula is not your end all, be all. Just because we have the information and the training, we can't think for you. We don't want to think for you. The more informed you are, the more likely you're going to feel like birth didn't happen to you this time around and you were a direct participant, even if you end up having a surgical birth again.Meagan: Yeah, yeah. Yes. Oh my gosh. So talking about courses, you guys, we have our VBAC course. This VBAC course goes into VBAC, the stats about VBAC, the history of VBAC, the history of Cesarean, the stats of Cesarean, the questions, finding the provider, a little bit more of the mental prep, and physical prep. But when it comes to a childirth education course like with the course that she has, they're on different levels. I actually suggest them both.Kristin: Yes, me too. Absolutely.Meagan: But it's so important to know the information that is in your course. I know you go even past preparing for birth and then birth and then postpartum. You go into all of it. We're going to talk more about it. But you guys, we as doulas, love getting information and we love sharing information. But like she said, we don't want to be the only one that knows the information in a team. When our clients come in, at least here in my group, when our clients come in and they are fully educated and we're like, yes. And then we can come in with our education and our experience and knowledge, you guys, it is a powerhouse team. It is a powerhouse team. We have clients who, when they take child birth education classes like yours, they are able to advocate more for themselves. They feel stronger to stand up and say, "Hey, thank you so much, but no thanks" or "Maybe later," when our clients who haven't had that childbirth education or just any information other than maybe what we're providing, which is great, but not enough in the full length of pregnancy, it's a little harder. We have to try to encourage those clients a little bit more because it's harder for them because they don't know everything. We're there to help guide them and help advocate for them and educate them, but it is very different.Kristin: It is. It's so different. And I feel like, again, partners, especially male partners, want to fix things. They don't want their love to feel any pain, and so they may have the fear of a VBAC. So taking a VBAC class course, having a VBAC doula, giving information is just as helpful, if not more for the partner and their comfort level and to have them fully get on board because they may be resisting and just going along for the ride, but if you can get them to be an active participant in education, then they're going to be able to help you. And sometimes in labor, we get to a point in transition where we can't fully speak for ourselves. But if our partner understands, is educated and on board, and if there's time to talk through the risks and benefits and alternatives with your doula, then yes. But sometimes decisions have to be made quickly, and so for that partner to be informed and educated is crucial.Meagan: So crucial. It's so powerful. My husband-- he was not so on board. He was like, "Whatever. I don't care. You can go to the courses. You can do these things."Kristin: And that's very typical.Meagan: It's very typical. And I did. I did do those things. When I said, "Hey, I'm going to birth out-of-hospital," and he was like, "No," I was like, "Well, sorry. I've done the education. I know this is really where my heart is pulling." We touched on this in the beginning how partners really can influence decision making. And in no way, shape or form am I trying to say partners are terrible or don't listen to your partner or anything like that. That's not the goal of what we're saying is have an educated partner. Know that you can assemble a birth team, like a provider, a chiropractor, a massage therapist, a doula, a PT, or whatever it may be, but don't forget about your partner. Your partner is a huge part of your team, and if they're not educated and they're not able to help guide you through, or if they're not being supportive, find ways to help them be supportive by taking a course with them and helping them realize, oh, VBAC actually isn't that scary. Oh, that chance isn't really 50+%. Oh, okay. Hospital birth, out-of-hospital birth. Yeah. They're both reasonable, and really understanding that.Kristin: Absolutely. And sometimes I find that my students and clients may have not had success with breastfeeding the first time and potentially didn't take a class. So if their goal is to breastfeed or pump exclusively, then taking a breastfeeding class and having that IBCLC as a resource for their dream team in case it's needed because many times, you have the lactation consultant who's teaching the class, at least in my practice, and then they're also available for say, a home visit or a hospital visit, depending on where the class is taking place. And so I think that that's something. Even if it isn't your first baby and maybe you breastfed for a little bit or had supply issues or challenges after a surgical birth, that it is important to consider any education during pregnancy because it's much harder to get that education after you have your baby.Meagan: It really is. I love that you're touching on that, really getting into all the things and having your partner go with you. I remember I was like, I had a C-section, and I was swollen and tired, and I couldn't move very well. I was sore and all the things that sometimes come with C-sections. I'm trying to nurse, and I'm engorged.  I don't feel my letdown, and I'm just so engorged. I don't know. All I know is I have really big, swollen boobs. It's all I could tell. I couldn't latch. My husband was like, "That's it. We're going to the store. We're getting formula." Formula is fine. Not anything against formula.Kristin: He's trying to fix the problem and make you feel better.Meagan: Yep, yep, yep. Trying to fix that problem. But I was like, "No, I really want to breastfeed." At that point, I wasn't able to communicate. Like, I didn't get the birth I wanted. I already felt like a failure because I was actually told that your body failed. That's what I was told. So I was already dealing with this mindset that I failed. I had a C-section. I didn't want a C-section. And now the only thing I could try to do because I couldn't take that C-section back is breastfeed my baby. I wanted to breastfeed my baby. And again, we didn't take those childbirth education classes. He for sure didn't download any apps. I at least had an app trying to help me at that point, but he didn't understand. He didn't understand.And I'm like, no.I'm crying, and I'm like, "Please, just help me. I don't know what I need to help me." And he's like, "No, we're going to the store. Our baby's mad. You're crying." He was trying to fix that problem. But if we had already done that information education before and found that IBCLC before and him understanding how important that was to me, he could have been like, "I'm going to call her IBCLC. I'll get her over here right away."Kristin: Exactly. The last thing you want to do is go into the hospital to see a lactation consultant there if you can even get in.Meagan: Exactly. Yeah. So it just could have been so much smoother. Sometimes I feel like we were against each other at that point because he didn't have any education. With our first, I really didn't have much education. But with our third, it was like he really didn't have a lot of education. and I was over-the-top educated, so I was saying these things, and he was thinking I was demeaning him or saying he was stupid because it was just this weird thing. So if we can just come together with our partners and get all the education and get it all before really, find out a postpartum plan. Find out a breastfeeding plan. Right? Find out what you want. You guys, it just makes the pregnancy journey and the postpartum journey, so much better. It truly makes you feel like you're on that team because you are.Kristin: Yes. Absolutely. And certainly, I mean, you mentioned apps. Not everyone has the means or even lives in an area where they can take a comprehensive five, six, ten-week childbirth class. There are, obviously, online classes. There are some Zoom virtual ones where students are all over the place. But there are watching birth videos and YouTube and in my book, Supported: Your Guide to Birth and Baby, we talk about apps, so count the kicks. Especially for VBACs, doing the self-monitoring if there's fear of fetal movement and any sort of distress during the end of the pregnancy, then really understanding your own body and doing monitoring. It's not just when you're in your provider's office being monitored. You can make a difference yourself. So having some different apps and some education on your own, listening to podcasts like yours to get this information and reading books. So there's more than if you can't afford a childbirth class like HypnoBirthing, there are still ways that you can get educated and your partner can get educated. So yeah, take a look at all of your options and your budget.Meagan: Yeah, and we talk about this all the time because I love them, but Be Her Village is a really great resource where you can go fill out a registry and, hopefully, get some help for these things. Childbirth education classes, doulas, IBCLCS. But I want to dive a little bit more into your book, actually, while we're talking about different resources. We talked about the childbirth education, but can we talk about more about Supported: Your Guide to Birth and Baby and how this came into fruition and what all is included in this amazing book.Kristin: Okay, Meagan. So essentially the book came out of our online course. Becoming a Mother launched in the early pandemic when everything was shut down and our classes all had to go virtual. I was fortunate to be in a state where doulas who were certified were able to work thanks to our governor. So we were working, but there was still a lot of isolation even with our clients' prenatal visits. They wanted a connection, so we launched this course. We had talked about and did three live launches, got VBAC from our students, pulled people in from all the moms' groups before creating the first draft of the course. And then the course just led to the book. So the content in Becoming a Mother is what is in the book in a different format. So in Becoming a Mother, we have expert videos, so VBAC specialists and Webster-certified chiropractors talking about what that is. Pelvic floor physical therapists, car seat safety technicians, cord blood banking donation centers.Meagan: Awesome.Kristin: We have the experts speaking for themselves-- a pediatrician. And so in the book, anything that is medical and out of the scope of a doula, we had expert contributors, so I have a pediatrician friend of mine who contributed a newborn procedure section of the chapter and a prenatal yoga studio instructor, she's also a certified body balancer. She contributed to some of the fitness options in the book, and a mental health therapist who is PMA focused and certified contributed to the mental health chapter. We have an IBCLC that contributed to the feeding chapter, and so a lot of involvement, and then sharing client stories throughout the book and then our own wisdom. We have doula tips and wisdom at the end of every chapter. Meagan: Wow.Kristin: And so as clients were asking me for books over the years, I couldn't find anything that was positive. I felt like there were a lot of, this is your cry-it-out method for sleep because we have a whole chapter on sleep and it's very attachment-focused. It's like, one way for feeding, and we wanted our clients, with their unique choices for themselves, to have a book that supports people who want to plan surgical birth like that OB and that's their comfort level and a book for the same person who wants a home birth. You don't have to buy five different books. It's not always Ina May which is a great book but not for everyone. All of her different-- she's got Spiritual Midwifery and so many different books. It is great for grandparents to read and partners but is targeted to the mother or the mother-to-be and is great in preconception in that early planning. But also, we wanted to make it similar to the course and just as valuable for seasoned bombs as it is for new moms. And again, it's affirming. We tried not to have any fear-filled information in a simple, easy-to-read guide that you can pull out for reference and a lot of different, again, apps and podcasts and books to read and resources and evidence-based information about Black maternal health and where we're at in the country now and how the pandemic impacted birth especially, but also that postpartum time.Meagan: Wow. That book sounds amazing. So amazing. And you guys, you can get it in every form, even Audible. I'm a big listener. I like to listen to books. Kristin and Alyssa actually recorded it. She was telling me they had 10+-hour days recording this this book. You can get it, and we will make sure to have the links for that in the show notes. I found it at goldcoastdoulas.com/supportedyourguidetobirthandbaby.Kristin: It's there. You can find it off that website or it has its own page. It's supportedbook.com. Meagan: Supportedbook.com, okay. We'll make sure that's all in the show notes, so you guys can grab that. Okay, so you know a lot. Obviously, you wrote a whole book and a whole course and all this stuff. Is there anything else that you would like to share in regards to just our final assembling of that powerhouse birth team?Kristin: So don't forget, I know we're talking a lot about pregnancy and birth prep, but don't forget your recovery phase. And you had talked about your own personal struggles with breastfeeding engorgement, recovery after a surgical birth. If you have, well, you do have other children at home with VBACs, and so looking at childcare, postpartum doula support, or what kind of family support you're going to have after, it's more than just meal plans and prepping the nursery. We strongly believe that as part of your dream team, the postnatal team is crucial as well. So whether it's a lactation consultant, a pelvic floor physical therapist, if you want to get back to running marathons again or are leaking. I mean, we can all use pelvic floor physical therapy. It's not just the athletes who they support. Some people, again, with building a home or other life occurrences like a wedding or preparing for college, you look at your budget. You look at your main goals. For a wedding, it might be food. For postpartum, it might be sleep. So hiring a sleep consultant when baby's old enough or an overnight postpartum doula or a newborn care specialist. What are your priorities? And take the budget. What might be paid for by insurance or, a health savings flex spending plan that you need to run down? What might be gifted? Like you mentioned, Be Her Village. There are different ways you can budget. And in the book, we talk about all of that and looking at employer plans, how to navigate that, what questions to ask your HR department about other members, like a chiropractor, could that be covered? A therapist? Oftentimes, we don't know our own benefits and certainly, I don't know my husband's benefits fully, so to be able to investigate that early in pregnancy and figure out what might be fully or partially paid for.Meagan: Wow. That is incredible itself. I feel like that's a whole other conversation of, how to navigate how to do that. So definitely go get the book, you guys, because it sounds like there are just so many things in there that are honestly crucial to know. really, really important things to know. You are incredible. Kristin: So are you.Meagan: I just enjoy chatting with you so much. Anything else? Yeah, anything else you'd like to add?Kristin: And obviously, take taking trainings and courses. If I know you have doulas who listen. It's not just parents.Meagan: Yes.Kristin: As doulas go through The VBAC Link. Get certified as a VBAC doula. Keep up with information that is ever-changing. We all want to be the best doula for each of our clients, but I am a firm believer in continuing our own education and that more and more of our clients are choosing to attempt VBACs, and so the more information you can get as a professional, the better you're able to support. It's just not the number of VBACs you've attended anymore. It's clients wanting that knowledge so you can be busier and also a more effective doula by getting that training and then going through the certification process that you offer.Meagan: Yeah, have a directory actually with birth doulas where people can go and find it because when Julie and I created this company way back in the day, we knew that we were just two people here in Utah. We couldn't change the VBAC world. We could give as much information as we could. We could share the podcast. We could do those types of things. But when it comes to birth workers, we wanted to reach birth workers everywhere. It's so great that we have and we're still having more people come on because they're helping people so much. I mean, we know you have doulas that do it all the time. These doulas do help and there are actual stats on doulas that do it. But I agree. If you're a birth worker, stay up to date. Be in the know. Know what's going on because you will likely need to help guide your client through it. Kristin: Then you can charge more. So take that investment in a training like The VBAC Link, and then you're able to charge more because you're more experienced. You have more certifications. So don't look at like, oh, I don't have any money for continuing education. Look at how that's going to change your career.Meagan: Yeah, and I think sometimes too you can charge a little bit more, take less clients, and be more personal with those clients and dive into it. Especially because we do know that VBAC does take some extra stuff that goes on with VBAC. There's some extra work to be worked through. There are some extra things and so yeah, I love that.Kristin: Well, thank you so much for having me on Meagan, I loved our chat.Meagan: Thank you. You as well. As always, I loved our other chat as well. We have to keep going. I think I'm going to order your book today and get going on that. Even though I'm not a mom preparing, I think this would be such a great book to suggest to all of my clients. So thank you for sharing. Thank you.Kristin: Yeah. My secondary audience is certainly anyone who works with families in the birth and baby space, but it is targeted again, just similar to my podcast. It's like I have the listener of the pregnant individual and family, but also birth workers. The book is similar. Thank you for ordering.I appreciate it. Meagan: Yes. And can you also tell everybody where to find you not just in your book, but Instagram, podcast, and all of the social medias?Kristin: So my podcast is Ask the Doulas. You can find us on all the podcast players and you were a guest recently, so very fun. And certainly, we're at Gold Coast Doulas on everything from Pinterest to YouTube to Facebook to Instagram. I don't have separate social sites for my book because I honestly don't have time for that.Meagan: That's okay. Yeah, it's a package. It comes with everything, so you don't need to have another book page. Well, awesome. Well, thank you again so much.Kristin: Thank you. Have a great day.Meagan: You too.ClosingWould you like to be a guest on the podcast? Tell us about your experience at thevbaclink.com/share.

Today we'll tackle the Weekly Top 3 with Brad Keithley from Alaskans for Sustainable Budgets. This weeks topics include: the largest permanent individual tax increase in Alaska's history; the problem is revenue structure; oh look...the next state cost wave is building. Then in hour two I'll recap with some of my thoughts before we take an early segment with Chris Story to discuss the status of his "Fair Tax" property tax fight, then finish up with a PMA segment with him.

Depuis 2021, la loi française permet aux couples de femmes et aux femmes célibataires de concevoir un enfant grâce à la PMA. Quatre ans après ce vote historique, comment se déroule le parcours des mamans solos ? Concevoir un enfant sans conjoint ou conjointe est-il socialement accepté et possible ? Un « combat » intime, « une guérilla » politique, une expérience « sublime et transcendante », épuisante et merveilleuse, voilà ce que nous raconte l'autrice et journaliste féministe Judith Duportail, dans son essai « Maternités rebelles », paru aux éditions Binge Audio. Devenue maman à 35 ans de jumeaux, elle fait le récit détaillé de cette démarche au long-cours : les choix, les doutes, la recherche du donneur, la préparation à la naissance, l'organisation du post-partum et surtout, le village qu'elle s'est créée pour ne pas vivre seule cette grande aventure. Grâce à son témoignage, on se réjouit de voir émerger les contours d'une maternité communautaire et libre, un élan collectif autour d'une femme qui a pu compter sur « ses sœurs ». Un récit à la fois coup de gueule et coup de pouce pour toutes celles qui envisagent la maternité en solo, truffé de conseils pratiques et logistiques, mais surtout de réflexions profondes sur le droit des femmes à devenir mères si et quand elles le souhaitent, et comme elles le souhaitent.

WARBIRD RADIO - If there were ever a real-life Indiana Jones for the warbird community, it'd be Jay Wisler. Instead of dodging booby traps and uncovering lost temples, Jay has spent over four decades scouring the globe in search of something just as precious—vintage warbird parts. From the dusty corners of forgotten warehouses to the bustling hangars of world-class restoration shops, Jay's relentless quest has helped keep historic aircraft flying for generations.On this episode of Warbird Radio, Matt Jolley sits down with Jay Wisler to talk about his legendary career in the warbird parts industry. Since 1982, Jay's company, Warbird Parts and Memorabilia, has been the go-to source for hard-to-find aircraft components. Before selling his massive inventory to Fagen Fighters Restorations, Jay managed nine warehouses filled to the brim with parts essential to the restoration of iconic aircraft like the North American P-51 Mustang. If you've ever admired an award-winning warbird at Oshkosh or any major airshow, there's a good chance some of Jay's parts helped bring it back to life.His passion for Mustangs is no secret, and when asked about his favorite project, Jay doesn't hesitate: Jack Roush's P-51B, Old Crow. Over the years, he's supplied parts for countless Mustang restorations, ensuring that these legendary fighters remain a fixture in the skies. His philosophy—“If I don't have it, I'll help you find it”—has made him a beloved figure in the warbird community, and in 2014, he was rightfully inducted into the EAA Warbirds Hall of Fame.But Jay isn't just looking back—he's looking ahead. He believes the future of warbird restoration is in good hands with people like Erik Hokuf, founder of AirCorps Aviation. Erik also joins Matt on this episode to discuss the future of warbird restorations, parts manufacturing, and how his team is carrying the torch forward. Based in Bemidji, Minnesota, AirCorps Aviation has become an industry leader, blending precision craftsmanship with modern technology to keep vintage aircraft flying. From FAA Part 21 PMA-certified parts to full-scale restorations, Erik and his team are shaping the next chapter in warbird history.Don't miss this fascinating conversation as Matt Jolley dives into the stories behind the parts, the people, and the passion that fuels the warbird restoration world.

Industrial Talk is onsite at FABTECH and talking to Ed Marsh, Founder of Ed Marsh Consulting about "Real Tactical Solutions for Manufacturing Success". Scott MacKenzie and Ed Marsh discuss the importance of edutainment and "cool content" in manufacturing sales and marketing. Ed emphasizes that traditional marketing methods are no longer effective, and companies need to create trust through engaging, passive content like videos and podcasts. He suggests focusing on topics that address known and unknown issues for businesses, such as employee retention and innovative benefits like on-site childcare. Ed highlights the need for top-down leadership to adopt these strategies and stresses the long-term nature of building trust. He also mentions the inefficiency of trade show leads and the importance of video content in capturing attention. Action Items [ ] Reach out to Ed Marsh to learn more about his "cool content" and "edutainment" approach. [ ] Explore creating video and audio content that focuses on topics important to your customers' businesses, rather than just your own products and services. [ ] Consider how the board of directors can be involved in overseeing the company's marketing and sales strategies. Outline Introduction and Welcome to Fabtech Scott MacKenzie introduces the podcast and welcomes Ed Marsh, highlighting his contributions to the industry. Scott mentions the location of the podcast at Fabtech in Orlando, Florida, and the involvement of PMA. Ed Marsh joins the conversation, mentioning he arrived in the morning and was informed about the need for a hard hat and work boots. Scott and Ed engage in a light-hearted exchange about Ed's famous bronze handout and their previous meeting at the Orlando Convention Center. Ed Marsh's Background and Consulting Business Ed shares his background, including his time in the army and transition to the packaging machinery business. He explains his consulting business, which helps industrial manufacturers, particularly capital equipment companies, improve their sales processes. Ed emphasizes the contrast between well-documented back-end processes and ad hoc marketing and sales efforts. He discusses the importance of applying rigorous process engineering and continuous improvement mindsets to the front-end of the business. The Concept of Edutainment and Cool Content Ed introduces the concept of edutainment, which combines education and entertainment to create engaging content that can be consumed passively. He explains the shift in consumer behavior, where people no longer read articles but consume video and audio content while doing other activities. Ed highlights the challenge of getting the first meeting with potential clients and the role of edutainment in building trust. He introduces the idea of "cool content," which focuses on known unknowns and unknown unknowns, addressing topics that are important to the audience but may not be immediately obvious. Challenges and Strategies for Implementing Cool Content Scott and Ed discuss the challenges of getting companies to focus on cool content and the importance of top-down leadership. Ed explains that only a small percentage of companies will adopt new strategies, and the key is to identify leaders within those companies. They discuss the evolving role of boards of directors...

Real estate investing is an exciting and potentially lucrative venture, but it requires a comprehensive understanding of the market, strategic planning, and access to resources, particularly funding. In a recent episode of the Raising Private Money podcast, Jay Conner and PMA member Erica Camardelle gave listeners an in-depth breakdown of how to execute a successful real estate deal using private money.Today we will unpack the key takeaways from Erica's deal and provide actionable insights that can help you navigate your own real estate investments profitably.The Importance of Understanding Seller MotivationOne of the pivotal lessons Erica shared was understanding the seller's motivation. This allows investors to better tailor their offers and negotiations.Identifying Key Motivations:Inheritance:The seller had inherited the property from her parents.Out-of-State Ownership:Living in a different state made managing the property inefficient for her.These factors compounded to create a seller who was highly motivated to offload the property quickly, providing Erica with a leverage point in negotiations.Negotiation Tip: Always dig deeper into the seller's circumstances. Understanding their motivations can provide hidden advantages in structuring your offer.Leveraging Private Money for Real Estate DealsErica and Jay detailed the significance of private lending, which can make or break a deal, particularly in competitive markets.Utilizing Private Lenders:Borrowing Against After Repaired Value (ARV):Erica borrowed 75% of the ARV ($166,000), amounting to $125,000. This ratio ensures a financial buffer, minimizing the investor's risks.Establishing Long-term Lender Relationships:Erica's success stemmed from a long-standing relationship with her private lender over several years. This not only facilitated quick access to funds but also built trust over time.Pro Tip: Building and nurturing relationships with private lenders can lead to more favorable terms and quick approvals, crucial for seizing opportunities swiftly.Effective Property Valuation and BudgetingUnderstanding property valuation and accurately budgeting repairs are cornerstones of successful real estate ventures.Valuation Approach:ARV Calculation:The after-repaired value was set conservatively at $166,000. Despite this, Erica listed it for $185,000 based on market dynamics, which illustrates a strategic risk-taking approach to maximize profits.Budgeting Repairs:Predictive Budgeting:Erica initially budgeted $20,000 for repairs but managed to spend only $15,000. This conservative overestimation helps in dealing with unforeseen issues.Carrying Costs:Six months of holding costs were budgeted. This includes accounting for taxes, insurance, and private lender interest, ensuring no financial surprises.Investor Insight: Always budget for higher than anticipated repair costs and consider listing slightly higher than the ARV to attract potential buyers willing to pay more.Calculating Net Profits and Key MetricsJay Conner emphasized the need for accurate calculations to understand the true profit from a real estate deal.Net Profit Breakdown:Sale Price:Listed at $185,000.Expenses Subtraction:Purchase Price: $96,000Repairs: $15,000Realtor Fees: 5%, approximately $9,250Private Lender Interest: $5,000Taxes and Insurance: Estimated at $2,250Following these deductions, the net profit was calculated to be approximately $57,500.Understanding MAO (Maximum Allowable Offer):MAO Calculation:
