Most Cash-Based practice owners don't fail because they lack effort. They fail because their effort is scattered. They're busy all year. They're solving problems constantly. They're reacting instead of directing. And when December rolls around, they realize they worked hard… but didn't intentionally build the business they actually want. This episode is about fixing that. Not with a complicated planning system. Not with endless spreadsheets. But with a clear, executable strategic plan that keeps you focused on exactly what matters—and guides you step-by-step to accomplishing your goals If you didn't catch last week's episode on The Year-End Review Process That Actually Grows Your Cash-Based Practice and extract the insights that actually matter, you may want to start here—because this strategic planning process builds directly on that foundation. What You'll Learn in This Episode The three questions that expose where growth is actually being blocked How to set targets your current team can realistically hit (or know what changes are necessary to get there) Why most strategic plans fail within the first quarter How to turn planning into execution and results, rather than a waste of time USEFUL INFORMATION: Check out our course: Cash-Based Practice Mastermind

Inclusive education doesn't happen by accident—it takes intentional systems, shared mindsets, and sustained collaboration. In this episode of The Good Life EDU Podcast, host Andrew Easton is joined by Allison Kelberlau (Assistant Director of Student Services, ESU 3), Eileen Heller (Education Consultant, Professional Learning, ESU 3), and Jill Guenther (Nebraska MTSS Regional Support Lead, Region 2) to unpack the story and impact of ESU 3's Inclusive Practices Academy (IPA). The conversation traces the origins of the IPA from statewide coherence efforts led by the Nebraska Department of Education's Office of Special Education, through its design and implementation, and into what the work looks like now in year two. Together, the group explores how mindset, systems and structures, and instructional practices intersect to support meaningful inclusion for students with disabilities—and how ESUs can model the very collaboration they hope to see in schools. Listeners will hear how the academy brings general education teachers, special educators, related service providers, and building leaders together around: Universal Design for Learning (UDL) as a foundational framework Co-planning and co-teaching as levers for inclusive practice Data-informed decision-making tied directly to classroom instruction Action planning that bridges professional learning and daily practice The critical role of building leadership in sustaining inclusive systems The episode also highlights what the ESU 3 team learned themselves through cross-department collaboration—and why inclusive professional learning must be designed with the same care and flexibility we expect in classrooms. Whether you work in a service agency, district leadership role, or classroom, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical entry points for advancing inclusive education—starting wherever you are.

Whether you've seen the movie or not, P.T. Barnum offers a great example of both what not to do and what to do when you're trying to convert someone to make a buying decision.

Have you ever considered taking a sabbatical to practice Interventional Radiology in the Middle East? In this episode, Dr. Jamal AlKoteesh, the Chairman of Clinical Imaging at SEHA and the "Godfather of IR" in the United Arab Emirates, joins host Dr. Sabeen Dhand to discuss the rapid evolution and current state of IR in the Gulf region. --- SYNPOSIS Dr. AlKoteesh shares his journey from training in the UK to establishing the IR specialty in Abu Dhabi over the last 18 years. He details the unique practice environment in UAE government hospitals, where the lack of strict sub-specialization requires IRs to maintain a versatile skillset—handling everything from thyroid FNAs and UFE to complex neurovascular thrombectomies. The conversation highlights the significant government investment in healthcare technology, which allows physicians access to the latest tools—such as the Siemens Artis Icono with integrated RapidAI for stroke—often before they are widely available in other markets. Dr. AlKoteesh also provides a practical guide for US physicians interested in working abroad, covering the licensing timeline, tax-free income, and the high demand for Western-trained physicians. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction01:39 - Building IR in UAE05:23 - UAE Healthcare System Overview07:54 - IR Residency and Staffing13:15 - Access to Latest Devices15:15 - Compensation and Lifestyle17:58 - PAIRS Conference Overview20:45 - Licensing and Relocation Guide21:39 - Liability and Language Barriers26:33 - Launching Stroke Interventions

2025 wasn't business as usual in optometry M&A.  Fewer buyers, more deal scrutiny, softer multiples, and a growing number of practice owners asking the same question: "Is my practice worth what I think it's worth?"   That's why this episode is perfectly timed for the start of 2026.  Eugene is joined by Anne Kavanagh (Founder & Managing Director) and Jason Preator (Managing Partner) from Kavanagh Consulting, two people who have seen more optometry practice transactions than almost anyone in the industry over the last decade. Their perspective is based on real deals, real outcomes, and patterns that repeat year after year.  Anne and Jason explain how the buyer landscape has evolved, who is actively acquiring practices right now, and how buyers are evaluating risk, structure, and long-term profitability.

Thank you for helping us make the podcast even better!How To Do This Practice: Settle in: Find a quiet, comfortable place to sit. Close your eyes or soften your gaze, and begin breathing in through your nose with long, slow exhales through pursed lips. Scan your body: Gently move your attention from the top of your head down to your toes, noticing areas of tension with a kind, curious awareness. Breathe into tension: Wherever you feel tightness, breathe into that area and soften it with each exhale, allowing your nervous system to relax just a little more. Notice uncertainty: Turn your attention to your thoughts and feelings. Ask yourself what feels uncertain right now, and name any emotions that arise without trying to change them. Ask yourself: What is on my mind right now? Am I thinking about the past, the future, or am I right here in the present?” What do I feel most uncertain about right now? What expectations might I be holding? Am I striving to control something? What feelings do I have right now? Release control: Notice where you may be holding expectations or trying to control the future, and gently practice letting go, reminding yourself that uncertainty is part of life. Rest in the present: Lean back, relax your shoulders, and focus on the safety and ease of this moment, repeating a phrase like “Things are exactly as they are right now.” Scroll down for a transcription of this episode.Today's Happiness Break Guide:ELISSA EPEL, PH.D, is a Professor and Vice Chair in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, at University of California, San Francisco.Learn more about Elissa Epel here: https://www.elissaepel.com/Related Happiness Break episodes:Loving Kindness Meditation: https://tinyurl.com/2kr4fjz5Embodying Resilience: https://tinyurl.com/46383mhxA Meditation for When You Feel Uneasy: https://tinyurl.com/4utrkyh5Follow us on Instagram: @ScienceOfHappinessPodWe'd love to hear about your experience with this practice!

What do you do when you buy failing practices and suddenly you're the one holding every location together? Seth Huish and Clark Brinton from Arvory Dental Group bought four practices in 2017.

"It's simple, not always easy—but movement, writing, and a little fresh air changed my life." – Lawrence Chrystopher Harris   On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth sits down with Lawrence Chrystopher Harris, a youth empowerment speaker who transforms his lived experience of childhood trauma into practical hope for young people and their supporters. Lawrence reflects on growing up as a neurodivergent child in Philadelphia, surviving family abuse, and overcoming alienation, offering an inside look at the barriers he faced and the hard-won lessons that now guide his work.   The conversation centers on accessible tools for healing—journaling, exercise, and getting outdoors—framed as a "mental, physical, spiritual triangle." Lawrence shares how consistent daily practice of these simple habits helped him learn self-reflection, emotional regulation, and self-love, breaking free from patterns of self-doubt and disconnection. He emphasizes the importance of curiosity in self-inquiry, the courage to acknowledge both shadow and light within, and the profound difference between our feelings and our identity. The episode is a powerful call to caregivers, educators, and youth themselves: transformation is possible when we start with manageable, sustainable steps anchored in agency and imagination.   We invite you to listen to the full episode and follow Transforming Trauma on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or your favorite podcast app. *** **SPACE:** SPACE is an Inner Development Program of Support and Self-Discovery for Therapists on the Personal, Interpersonal, and Transpersonal Levels offered by the Complex Trauma Training Center.

Today's conversation is a homecoming—back to the body, back to character, and back to what it means to be a man. My guest, Mark Walsh, challenges the modern habit of living entirely in our heads—cut off from sensation, boundaries, and responsibility. We talk embodiment not as fitness or aesthetics, but using physical training to develop character, emotional regulation, and presence. From Stoicism and shadow work to doing hard things on purpose, this episode is about reclaiming awareness, expanding range, and building the discipline required to choose better behavior. We also confront the cult of modernity: hyper-individualism, happiness culture, pleasure-seeking that produces pain, and the loss of religion, community, and moral formation. Mark makes the case that happiness is secondary to meaning and commitment and that true freedom is forged through discipline, not the absence of limits.

Episode SummaryIn this episode, Chris Schembra sits down with Jessica Weiss to unpack a radical but practical idea: happiness at work isn't something you wait for in a distant future, it's something you actively create, even in imperfect conditions. Drawing from Jessica's book Happiness Works, the conversation reframes happiness not as a fleeting mood or a vague “choice,” but as a set of tangible, science-backed tools anyone can use right now. They explore why the single most powerful first step toward happiness is simply finding a friend at work, how resilience is a muscle built through small, confidence-building decisions, and why “good enough” choices often lead to more satisfaction than endless optimization. Together, they dismantle common myths about happiness, connect gratitude and joy to long-term resilience, and show how depersonalizing failure and using feedback as data can transform setbacks into progress. The episode culminates in Jessica's five-part framework—connection, resilience, optimism, trust, and progress—offered not as a rigid sequence, but as a buffet of tools listeners can draw from as needed. At a moment defined by burnout, uncertainty, and rapid change, this conversation makes a compelling case that happiness isn't fluffy or naïve; it's a strategic advantage for individuals, teams, and organizations alike.10 Quotes“Happiness isn't something you wait for in the future; it's something you build, even in imperfect conditions.” “The fastest way to improve your happiness at work is shockingly simple: find a friend.” “Happiness is not the absence of unhappiness; it's having tools you can rely on when things get hard.” “Resilience isn't a personality trait. It's a muscle, and you build it through small decisions.” “Good enough decisions often create more happiness than perfect ones that take forever.” “Happiness isn't a choice. It's strategies, tactics, and habits you practice every day.” “Failure is inevitable. The real skill is learning how to depersonalize it and extract the lesson.” “Trust is the foundation of feedback—if you don't trust the source, the message won't land.” “Gratitude and joy aren't just reflections; they're mindset-shifting tools that build resilience.” “You don't need to change your entire life to be happier—small, consistent actions change the trajectory.” 10 TakewaysHappiness is actionable.It's not a vague feeling or personality trait—it's built through repeatable tools and behaviors. Connection comes first.Having even one genuine friend at work dramatically improves engagement, wellbeing, and performance. Resilience is built in micro-moments.Small, quick decisions create confidence and momentum over time. Perfection kills happiness.“Maximizers” suffer more than “satisficers.” Aim for progress, not perfection. Tools beat willpower.Relying on “choosing happiness” isn't sustainable.

Online reviews are one of the most powerful and misunderstood factors in chiropractic marketing. In this episode of the Rocket Chiro Podcast, Jerry Kennedy breaks down how many reviews chiropractors actually need to compete in local search, and why reviews matter far beyond Google Maps rankings. If you want more new patients without relying on ads, gimmicks, or sales-heavy marketing, this episode gives you clear benchmarks and practical guidance you can apply immediately. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why online reviews impact Google Maps, AI search, and patient trust How reviews influence both visibility and patient decision-making Why reviews matter even for referral-based chiropractic practices The minimum star rating chiropractors should aim to maintain Why negative reviews are not the end of the world How to calculate review benchmarks based on your local market The four review numbers every chiropractor should understand Why review expectations keep rising every year How to make reviews part of your practice culture The 4 Review Benchmarks Explained Jerry outlines four key numbers chiropractors should track: Entry Point About 20% of the median review count in your area. Below this level, reviews may significantly limit your visibility. Fighting Chance (Median) The middle review count among chiropractors in your market. Reaching this gives you a realistic opportunity to compete. Dominance Level Roughly 3.5 times the median. Practices at this level often have a strong advantage in local search. High Water Mark The highest review count in your area. Not a requirement, but useful context when evaluating competition. How to Get More Reviews (Without Being Awkward) A simple framework that actually works: Provide great care and communicate well Make reviews a normal part of your practice Ask in person, not just digitally Make it easy with links or QR codes Be consistent with a repeatable plan Most chiropractors who struggle with reviews are missing multiple steps.

Raising prices in an aesthetic practice is rarely a simple decision. Increase too soon and you risk patient pushback. Wait too long and profitability erodes quietly. Many practices rely on gut instinct, competitor pricing, or inflation as justification, without fully understanding how those decisions impact retention, demand, and long term brand value. In this episode, Senior Client Success Managers Cristian Devoz and Nan Maddox break down how to evaluate whether a price increase is strategic or reactive. They walk through what you need to assess patient mix, booking lead times, capacity, operational performance, and brand positioning, and explain how to communicate price changes so they reinforce value rather than damage trust. ▶ Free Consult: Schedule your free 30-min consult with our expert, Jay Shorr, here: https://shorrsolutions.com/free-consult-new/

Essential listening for women ready to stop performing transformation and start living it. What if the courage to change your entire life starts with how you spend the first thirty minutes of your morning? In this conversation, Meghan sits down with her friend of 18 years, Catherine Farquharson—a former photographer turned leading mindset coach—to explore why brilliant women stay stuck even when they know what needs to change. Catherine reveals why positive affirmations without aligned feeling are just bypassing, and the devotional discipline of showing up for yourself first. This isn't about grand gestures—it's about building the self-trust that makes courageous pivots possible. Because the thing about changing your life? It actually changes your life.

Dr. Lisa Mathew interviews Dr. Steven Klein of Wilmington Gastroenterology about how UnitedHealthcare's recent 15% reimbursement reduction for anesthesia services provided by certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) could affect the way independent gastroenterology practices structure anesthesia services and maintain patient access to procedures such as colonoscopy. Dr. Klein explains how independent GI practices rely on CRNAs to provide anesthesia and how those services are structured within his practice, offering a practical view of how insurer policy decisions can reshape care delivery in outpatient endoscopy settings. Join Dr. Mathew and Dr. Klein as they examine how this policy compounds existing pressures such as prior authorization requirements and site-of-service restrictions, the downstream effects on colorectal cancer screening and other procedures, and what insurers and policymakers need to understand about the real-world impact of these decisions on patient access.

This spiritual exercise is known in some gnostic circles as the prayer for the irradiation of love, a direct means for awakening, developing, and empowering bodhichitta. Such an exercise can be practiced any time to inflame and inspire the consciousness towards alleviating humanity's suffering. It is also a remedy for reducing one's own pain, because by focusing on others, we develop genuine virtue and strengthen our best qualities (because if we are blinded by our passions and desires, we are less effective in serving our communities). Learn how to develop concentration, imagination, and prayer in combination to produce a profound synthesis: the rare virtue of impactful, divine compassion in service of others' wellbeing. This exercise accompanies the lecture Cultivating Bodhichitta Through Intention and Practice from The Way of the Bodhisattva course.

Hi Listeners. I'd love to hear from you. Send an email to Janet@jesteinkamp. It is not possible to respond to your Fan Mail posts directly.When someone is living with any degree of estrangement, it can feel as though everything they once believed to be true about the relationship has shifted, including their faith. In this episode, Dr. Janet Steinkamp explores how estrangement from an adult child can unsettle long-held beliefs and erode spiritual confidence.Practices that once offered comfort, such as prayer, meditation, or worship, may feel hollow or met with painful silence. A person may feel grounded one day and shaken the next, sometimes drawing strength from faith while simultaneously questioning it. Whether someone feels deeply faithful, uncertain, spiritual but not religious, or somewhere in between, this conversation makes room for the full range of experience.This episode is not about what someone should believe. Instead, Dr. Steinkamp examines how belief itself is shaped by loss, longing, grief, and unanswered questions. She discusses how strength can emerge even during seasons of doubt and invites listeners to consider faith not as a solution or a way to fix estrangement, but as a companion—something that can help them hold what remains, endure another day, and stay open to hope, even when the pain and absence are still very real.#FamilyEstrangement #EstrangedAdultChildren #EstrangementAndFaith #EstrangementGrief #ParentsOfEstrangedAdults #ReconnectingWithMyChild #FamilyEstrangementPodcastSupport the showFor more information, please visit https://www.WhenOurAdultChildrenWalkAway.com The stories, examples, reflections, and perspectives shared in this podcast are based on my professional work as an estrangement coach and my personal estrangement journey.

Morning Practices That Shift Your Metabolism Most women think metabolism is about food, hormones, or age. But after 40, your metabolism is deeply influenced by how you start your day. In this episode, we unpack how morning pressure, urgency and self-evaluation quietly slow your metabolism...and what to do instead. You'll learn simple morning practices that calm your nervous system, reduce internal stress, and create the conditions your body needs to become more responsive again. This isn't about routines or doing more. It's about changing the tone of your mornings so your body stops bracing and starts cooperating. If your energy feels off and your body feels resistant, this conversation will change how you think about mornings entirely.

Thank you for helping us make the podcast even better!One Way To Do This Practice: Stand and settle: Stand with your feet hip-width apart, knees soft, arms relaxed by your sides. Take a moment to feel the ground beneath your feet and let your body arrive. Ground through your feet: Gently rock or sway in small circles, slowly shifting your weight to notice different parts of your feet making contact with the floor. Let your balance find its own rhythm. Breathe slowly and naturally: Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth, allowing your breath to deepen without forcing it. Imagine your breath moving through your whole body, not just your chest. Begin gentle, flowing movements: Move your arms and torso in smooth, continuous motions—circling, swaying, or softly lifting and lowering your hands. Keep your movements relaxed and fluid rather than stiff or controlled. Soften your body and attention: Release unnecessary tension in your jaw, shoulders, and hands. Place your attention on how the movements feel from head to toe, letting your mind stay with sensation rather than thoughts. Close with stillness: After 10–15 minutes, return to standing quietly. Notice any changes in your energy, mood, or sense of grounding before stepping back into your day.

THE ANACONDA STRATEGY AND THE NEO-ENGAGEMENT TRAP Colleagues James Fanell and Bradley Thayer. Fanell and Thayer discuss the "Joint Sword 2024 Alpha" exercises, describing them as an "Anaconda strategy" where the PRC practices suffocating Taiwan through blockades and missile strikes. Thayer argues that despite these overt threats, Washington remains captured by the "neo-engagement school," mistakenly believing that economic engagement can democratize China. They critique "elite capture" within US institutions, noting that the Bidenadministration has largely continued Obama-era policies rather than confronting the reality that the CCP is transforming international norms rather than being transformed by them.
