Claude Royster is our guest on the MGMA Business Solutions podcast. Claude is vice president and general manager of Wellness at CareCredit, and he returns to the podcast to share findings from the Synchrony Lifetime of Healthcare Costs study. According to information from the report, "An insured American with an employer-sponsored health insurance plan can expect to spend more than $320,000 (including insurance premiums and out-of-pocket costs) during his/her adult lifetime. ... This number may be more than double — topping $700,000 — for Americans who purchase their own insurance (without employer or government subsidies) or for those who suffer from chronic illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease or cancer."

Countries are struggling, vaccines are scarce and mpox (monkeypox) is at risk of becoming endemic in many countries.In the final episode of this documentary, we find out what actions need to be taken at a global scale to get the outbreak under control.This virus became endemic in some countries after we first saw it in the 1970s, and we have not done much about it. That bears repeating, for over 50 years - people have been struggling with it, in Central and Eastern Africa - and even now, when it's spreading around the world - the action is limited.The most frustrating thing for people with experience and experts is we have the tools to fix this. But only if we work worldwide to prevent future pandemics, if governments step up, and if we change our attitudes to queer sex.Can we end the outbreak and prevent future ones - let's work out What The Pox? is going on.

Hey there!In this episode, I'm introducing you to a new weekly segment we'll be publishing with my husband, Jeremy, as the co-host. After many extensive conversations with Jeremy over entrepreneurship, what that looks like in our lives, and how that will look as we become parents, I figured he had a lot of offer from his perspective, both from that of a man, which I am not, the spouse of a zany entrepreneur, and a soon to be dad who will be managing a lot of the household responsibilities.Welcome to the Other Mic!

In this episode, we're talking about rates - what it costs for you to record, edit and submit audio files to clients based on the genre, run time, market, and more per VO project. Understanding what genres of VO you could get hired for and what the payout looks like for each one will help you determine which genres of VO are worth your time and abilities based on your current schedule when it comes to VO.For those of you out there who may be a little intimidated by or lacking faith in yourselves for not getting the amount of work you thought you might when you first started, let Alison's story be a message to you. Keep at it. If you really want to pursue VO whether that's part-time or full-time, we all start somewhere, acting background or not, it can be difficult to figure out your stride in the beginning. But I promise, if you stick with it, check-in with yourself and remain honest about your abilities and what you can offer clients, you will find your place in VO. And if you have a question or something else you'd like me to talk about on the show, remember you can always fill out the podcast request form in the show notes.Links & Resources:Ask a questionGVAA Rate GuideWant to get in touch with us?

If you or someone you know are experiencing mental health concerns, please seek professional support as this podcast is not a substitute for addressing immediate mental health concerns. Resources provided below.We are finally back in the saddle after several months' long hiatus! It's been a year since we've started this podcast and we wanted to kick off this season with an episode talking about our mental health and faith. Our guest speaker is our friend, Monica Giang, wife of a former guest on this podcast, John Giang. She is a mental health advocate and she has a strong following on social media. We define mental health and trauma and its impact on our faith life. We discuss why mental health issues are not the work of the devil and we talk about our own struggles in our own mental health journey. We also talk about how parents can become more aware of mental health concerns so we can better show up for our children and we also discuss how parishes can be more trauma informed in all aspects of parish life.

What if I told you that the only thing keeping you from reaching your potential is asking a question? Mark Victor Hansen and Crystal Dwyer Hansen are here to empower us to ask the questions that will unlock your ultimate destiny.  Mark and Crystal are authors, speakers, and thought leaders in the realm of spiritual development. Most commonly known for the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, Mark and Crystal understand how a challenging journey is just the starting gate for the race we all run. Their newest book, Ask! The Bridge from Your Dreams to Your Destiny is an outline to unlocking your potential and overcoming the roadblocks in your way. The secret: Asking questions. Of yourself. Of others. And of God. As children, we are born wired to ask questions about anything and everything – without shame or apology. Somewhere along the way, we stop feeling free to understand our reality with the resonance of our curiosity. Instead, we let circumstances tell us what life “is” all about. When we are willing to be curious, inquisitive, and unafraid, the questions in our hearts become the key to unlocking our destiny. Every day, ask yourself these questions: Where am I right now? Where do I want to be? What specific actions do I need to take to get there? Take time every day to spend time in mediation and prayer. Don't look at limits. Imagine your desired end of the ninth degree of your wildest dreams. Ask yourself the tough questions: Are you doing the best you can? Or are you taking the easy way out?  On the path to destiny, there will be roadblocks. Whether it is a feeling of unworthiness, naivety, or doubt, excesses will come. Fear and pattern paralysis will seek to disconnect you from the end goal. Getting real with yourself and identifying where you are and what is standing in your way is the only way to move forward. Take adversity and turn it into an advantage…by asking. If you have the right thinking, ask the right questions, take the right actions, you will get the right results. If you can take anything away from Mark and Crystal and apply it immediately, it is this: Understand no mechanism has the ability to reveal what is hidden from you than asking. You don't get what you deserve, you get what you ask for; so why not ask for the biggest, best, and most extravagant?  Ask the Question. Then…Rise. Shine. Impact.

Sandra lives in Brampton, Ontario, Canada and enjoys spending time with friends and family, her partner Satnam and her dog Lulu and reading self-help books and watching superhero movies in her spare time. Sandra is the host of the Embrace Your Destiny Podcast and she was was added to the Wall of Role Models by the Diversity Advancement Network in 2016. In this week's episode, Sandra shares how her experience of losing her father started a journey and how it was his biggest gift and the changes that happened which led her to doing the work that she does today. We're getting seriously practical and chatting about all things people-pleasing, saying no and learning to not care what other people think. We have a great conversation about well-intentioned dreamshitters and being mindful about the people you share your dreams with, the lost art of patience as well as some really actionable tips Sandra has about putting boundaries in place and learning to stop people-pleasing. This episode is really getting behind the scenes and into the nitty gritty of HOW we can stop people pleasing, putting everyone before ourselves and choosing to live the life that only we can live. I loved how Sandra shared so much about her processes, and this episode is a great reminder that there are tangible things we can start doing today to change our lives for the better. This episode is one huge bundle of hope and I know you're going to love this one! Enjoy the show!

Breakups happen. With the right frame of mind, any breakup that you go through can become a golden opportunity. It can be the best thing that ever happened to you - and, believe it or not, it can also be the best thing that ever happened...to your relationship! We’ve covered the topic of Conscious Uncoupling here on the podcast, back in episode 21 (with Katherine Woodward Thomas) - and now we’re going to take a slightly different approach. In today’s episode, we’re talking with Chris Seiter of ExBoyfriendRecovery.com and ExGirlfriendRecovery.com - about what’s involved when you decide that you actually want an ex...back. I’m going to assume that you’ve done your soul-searching here, and that getting your ex back is actually something that would be good for you (apart from a “heal my pain, now, please” kind of thing). If not, please take the time to do that. Fortunately, if you’re following Chris Seiter’s approach, you’ll find yourself with time built right into the process - time to grow, heal, and...get some perspective before you potentially dive back into something better left behind. That all being said, my own relationship went through a breakup or two on our path to stability - so it’s not necessarily over for you and your partner, especially when your do-overs give you a chance to undo the unhealthy patterns that led to your breakup in the first place. Rehabilitate with your own growth. When it comes to break-ups and separations, especially when not mutual, there can be a lot of pursual/withdrawal and victim mentality patterning. Desperate measures are taken by the one who is left as they feel hopeless and out of control. So many of us have the tendency to rush into fixing things as quickly as possible, however going from zero to sixty only repels exes further. Resist the instinct to beg your ex, or try to win them back immediately.  The most important shift you can make, is to turn towards yourself. Make a u-turn and focus on rehabilitating your own growth. This will simultaneously increase your chances of re-attracting your ex, while rebuilding your own sense of wholeness and vitality. How can i become the best version of myself? Given that the best thing you can do during a break up is to focus on yourself- check in with the holy trinity of well being: Health, Wealth, and Wellbeing. Ask yourself: what do I need to do to improve my health? How am I growing my mind? How am I tending to my heart? What can I do to take care of myself financially? There is a synergistic effect between these three areas of yourself, and by shifting your attention and energy to the things you do have control over will re-invigorate your sense confidence, creativity, and clarity. Not to mention that the healthier you are in a holistic sense, the more attractive you are to others. Furthermore, there are many times when through working on yourself and making needed changes, you discover that you have naturally outgrown your old relationship. No contact rule. When in a state of fear of losing a relationship, many people focus on the other, versus finding inspiration to devote time to their own growth. Often this looks like a continual obsession with how and when to contact their ex. Data shows however that 70% of those successful of getting back together with their ex, is through using a No Contact rule. Having a period of no contact is important for many reasons, including but not limited to ignoring your ex will make them curious about you and miss you raises chances that they will pursue you interrupts the pursue/withdraw pattern, and allows you to have the space and time needed to focus on yourself. Obviously everyone’s situation is unique, and so the rule will have to be tailored to your circumstances (perhaps you have children together?). That said, it is recommended to choose between a 21 day, 30 day, or 45 day no-contact rule. Creating more contact: Once contact begins again, pay attention to the levels of communication, from texting, to talking on the phone, to meeting in person. Be mindful of what is too much, and what is too little. Create cliffhangers in your text messages, meaning engage your ex and then end in an open loop with an unanswered question, an open invitation, a ‘to be continued’ thought. Remember while you are reaching out that we are all hardwired for connecting, and very responsive to stories. Texting provides a great platform to re-engage your ex through humor, things you know they would find amusing or interesting, etc, however the goal is to move towards phone conversation and ultimately, the decision to go on a date together. Small and doable. When you go on a first date, you don’t ask your date to marry you! Same goes when reconnecting with an ex. Do not try to go from 0-100 to get to 100, in fact it is neither advised nor perhaps even possible. Instead, take baby steps. Keep your sense of pressure/perfectionism in check, and focus on showing up for each moment with authenticity, compassion, and presence. Do not feel like there is one spectacular thing you could do that would unlock the possibility of getting back together, instead improvise moment to moment. Take a step towards them, then perhaps a pause, then another step, looking inside yourself to figure out what the ‘right’ step means to you. It is way more effective if you go moment to moment, and will inevitably provide important new information about whether this relationship is the right thing for you or not. Move Move Move: If you genuinely take the time to focus on yourself, to give critical space for growth, and then you reconnect but your ex still says they are not interested, then it is time to move on. Break ups are incredibly painful, however continuing to pine over someone who is saying they are unavailable becomes dangerous as it can make quickly make you and your life feel stagnant, decrease your sense of confidence, and limits your sense of possibility and openness to anything new.

Stacy Tuschl is a speaker, business coach, and the owner of The Academy of Performing Arts in Wisconsin. She is the author of the book “Is Your Business Worth Saving?” where she reveals proven strategies for pulling entrepreneurs out of a rut and launching them toward business success. We all deal with self-doubt, or the imposter syndrome. You know the feeling — why would anyone listen to me? Often when I’m talking with coaching clients or friends that are starting in business, this comes up, and I deal with it myself. People always think I’m so confident and these questions don’t’ go through my mind. But believe me, oh my goodness, I can’t tell you enough how often I think these same things over and over again. Every time I achieve something, another amazing opportunity comes my way but I get nervous about what will people think. So, today we’re going to be talking about getting out of your comfort zone to push the imposter syndrome aside. Some highlights include: My first business ever was starting a dance studio, and I was incredibly nervous about what people would say, especially because I had only been a dancer for three years when I started to teach it. I sucked it up, and now that business grosses over a million dollars a year. (minute 1:00) I was also really nervous about writing my book. I was sure my friends and family would say“who is she to write a book?” In reality, they were really supportive, and now I’m an international bestseller. (minute 2:00) “Am I really worth this?” The more you raise your rates, the better clientele you get to work with. So, as much as you think you aren’t worth the higher price — you are. (minute 3:00) It is really important to understand the value of hiring experts, like coaches, copywriters, and designers. I used to think that I could never spend $500/month on a coach. I thought that I had too much to invest in, and I just couldn’t afford one. But what I realized — and thankfully at a young age — was I can’t afford not to have a coach.

Stacy Tuschl is a speaker, business coach, and the owner of The Academy of Performing Arts in Wisconsin. She is the author of the book “Is Your Business Worth Saving?” where she reveals proven strategies for pulling entrepreneurs out of a rut and launching them toward business success. I’m so excited for today’s episode because it has been a little over a week and half since my book launched and I want to share a little bit of the behind the scenes with you. It did phenomenally well — better than I could have ever imagined. With over 12,200 downloads, we hit #1 in several categories. And not just in the US but in other countries as well which makes the book a #1 international bestseller. It feels so good to be on the other side of my first book launch, let me tell you. In today’s episode, I’m going to dive into this book launch. Some highlights include: If you want your book to be a bestseller, you need to get ratings and reviews of your book. At minute 3:00, I talk about how I did this with my book. In June, I went to a conference and met someone from a company called Epic Launch. At minute 5:00, I talk about why I hired them to help me get my book launched. I’m not a writer or a designer, and I knew I needed help with my book. I hired what is called a collaborative writer, and at minute 6:00, I talk about how Amy Anderson, my writer, was able to get a lot out of me and help me create my book. I also talk about working with Erica Jennings, my designer. At minute 8:00, I talk about the very specific launch strategy that got my book to become a #1 international bestseller. This segment includes an explanation as to why I made my book free when it first launched. Resources: Ask me a question! Join our Level Up Community!

She is the author of the book “Is Your Business Worth Saving?” where she reveals proven strategies for pulling entrepreneurs out of a rut and launching them toward business success. It has been a crazy week. My book launched on Tuesday, and I can’t wait to share more results with you next week. Something that has played a huge role in my book launch is the relationships that I have built, so today we are going to talk about building relationships. Some highlights include: When my book launched, I created a list of over 100 people that I personally reached out to and asked for their support. I didn’t send them a mass email. I sent them each a real email directly from me. At minute 1:00, I talk about why this is a good strategy. A way to save time with your email is what Gmail calls “canned responses.” At minute 3:00, I explain exactly what these are and what you should do to utilize them to their fullest potential. When I hang up from a call with a potential coaching client, I immediately send them a follow-up email. This email contains a canned response with details that I send to every potential client, but I include specific things from our call to make this much more personal. (minute 5:00) Don’t think that I am anti-email autoresponder. You absolutely have to have one. I send out something to my list every week and whenever I have something that I need my full list to know about. Take my book launch for example. At minute 7:00, I talk about how to use this kind of software effectively. Facebook has been one of my top sources for networking. At minute 8:00, I share several tips for how to use Facebook to build relationships. Resources: Ask me a question! Join our Level Up Community!

She is the author of the book “Is Your Business Worth Saving?” where she reveals proven strategies for pulling entrepreneurs out of a rut and launching them toward business success. Today we’re going to be talking about credibility. Someone recently asked me whether or not they need to have a book published before they will have the opportunity to get on stage. This person doesn’t necessarily want to be a speaker, but they do want to be seen as an expert in their industry. So, today we are going to cover the different levels of credibility, what you need to do before you get started, and then how to make sure you don’t get overlooked. Some highlights include: We all need credibility, but it comes in different forms. For example, being an author is different from being a bestselling author. And they’re both different from being a New York Times bestselling author. (minute 1:00) Your experience is what will build your credibility. At minute 2:00, I discuss how I got people to be on my podcast as well as how I’ve been able to make appearances on some high profile podcasts. Get ready to hear no from a lot of people. At minute 3:00, I talk about why 100 rejections for every acceptance is not a bad ratio at all. Change the story you tell about yourself. At minute 5:00, I talk about why the story that I was sharing to promote myself just didn’t make an impact on other people and how I’ve changed it so people are always wowed. So, do you need to write a book to get speaking gigs? At minute 7:00, I answer this question. Resources: Ask me a question!

Stacy Tuschl is a speaker, business coach, and the owner of The Academy of Performing Arts in Wisconsin. She is the author of the book “Is Your Business Worth Saving?” where she reveals proven strategies for pulling entrepreneurs out of a rut and launching them toward business success. In this episode, we are going to talk about acquiring new customers and the value that is in your current customer base. It is so much more expensive to acquire a brand new customer than it is to keep our current customers happy. It is really easy to get caught up in the numbers game. We want more, more, more. And as we are so focused on trying to get more customers, we aren’t keeping an eye on our current customers. So, let’s talk about how do we keep our current customers happy and staying with us. Some highlights include: Are you delivering the high-quality product, program, or service? You need to think about what you advertised and what they received. (minute 2:00) A good thing you can do to attract customers is throw events. However, you should never exclude current customers from these events. (minute 3:00) Another way to really keep your customers happy is to give attention they weren’t expecting. Try sending personal emails or phone calls or even welcome gifts. You should also try giving your customers unexpected free bonuses. (minute 5:00) What else can you try? I recommend paying attention to products and services that you use. Who is over delivering? Who is under delivering? (minute 7:00) Resources: Ask me a question!

She is the author of the book “Is Your Business Worth Saving?” where she reveals proven strategies for pulling entrepreneurs out of a rut and launching them toward business success. Today we are going to chat about making sure your business has consistent revenue coming in each month. I am going to briefly explain why every type of business really needs to stop finding one off customers and start building ongoing relationships with them. Some highlights include: If you don’t think your business can have some sort of consistent monthly revenue, I can promise you think again. Your business does have a way of offering an ongoing product. (minute 1:00) One book that really opened my mind was John Warillow’s book “The Automatic Customer.” We’re going to be talking about the 9 different way John discusses in his book about to do the subscription based model. These are the 9 models that we will be discussing: The membership website model (minute 2:00) The all you can eat library model (minute 3:00) The private club model (minute 3:00) The front of the line model (minute 4:00) The consumables model (minute 4:00) The surprise box model (minute 5:00) The simplifier model (minute 6:00) The network model (minute 6:00) The peace of mind model (minute 7:00) Resources: Ask me a question!

She is the author of the book “Is Your Business Worth Saving?” where she reveals proven strategies for pulling entrepreneurs out of a rut and launching them toward business success. Today we will be answering another question from one of our listeners. Carol wants to know how a new entrepreneur can balance their time between promoting and building their business and actually doing the work that they are paid to do. Some highlights include: No matter what kind of business you run, the two biggest areas you need to focus on are the development of your product, program, or service and then the marketing of that product, program, or service. (minute 2:00) People will get to know you faster than you think, so you need to have something that you can actually sell. If you don’t have something to sell, you’ll be losing out on sales. (minute 3:00) Unfortunately, the product and marketing of the product are just 2 of the many very important things we need to focus on.

I recently got back from Podcast Movement in Chicago, and I would love to share a little bit about it and my biggest takeaways from the event as well as something that is going to involve you coming on the Business Rescue Road Map! I don’t remember exactly how I found out about Podcast Movement, but when I saw that it had speakers like Pat Flynn and John Lee Dumas, my interest was definitely sparked. The event was around $500 and the cool thing about it was it had a bunch of different rooms, maybe eight or so different presentations going on from leading industry experts. What I really liked about it was they had different tracks that you could follow. There was a marketing track, a monetization track, one for the technical side, content, and so on. I stuck with a lot of the marketing and monetization mainly because that is my strong suit and what I enjoy doing. Overall it was a fabulous event and I will be adding this to my annual conferences. Next year it will be in Anaheim California in August. For me, The connections alone that I was able to make were so critical. Whether it was getting people on my show, or others inviting me to be a guest on theirs, was well worth the ticket. Here’s some of what I learned: One of the things we learned about was why it’s so important to share your story with your listeners. Listeners resonate with stories, so, in one of my future solocasts, I’m going to be sharing my story with you. Even if you have heard it before, I am going to go into detail of the ups and downs of running my own business and how I have gotten to this point in my life. (minute 2:00) Another thing I learned about was getting my community more involved. One of my biggest struggles for me as a podcaster is there is no interaction in the moment, unlike Periscope and Facebook live. One of the suggestions I received at Podcast Movement was to get listeners to ask questions by recording themselves and they can appear on the show. When I announced this in my private facebook community, I immediately got a great question from Celeste that I will be featuring in a show in a few weeks. (minute 3:00) I also learned about interviewing listeners. You have your own stories, and I’d love to talk to you about them. If you’re interested, please let me know via the link in the resources section. (minute 7:00) Resources: Ask me a question!
