In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Blair Feldman, former Phoenix Suns team orthodontist and co-founder of Retainer Club, to talk about everything from 3D printing and recurring revenue, to product innovation and mindset. Blair practiced for over 21 years, ran multiple startups, taught at AT Still, and ultimately made the leap to full-time entrepreneur after building a retainer program so effective, it demanded all of his attention.We dive deep into how Blair transformed a frustrating problem—retainer replacements—into a venture-backed fulfillment platform that supports ortho practices across the country. We also talk about how he helps orthodontists with product ideas that actually bring them to life, what he's learned from Entrepreneur's Organization (EO), and how to tell whether your big idea is a real business—or just a fun hobby.Quotes“It's a dirty secret in orthodontics: if patients stop wearing their retainers, their teeth move. Retainer Club was built to make sure that didn't happen—without creating more work for the practice.”— Dr. Blair Feldman“A patent is not a business. It's a tool. If you don't know what to do after the patent, then you don't have a plan—you have a prototype and a dream.”— Dr. Blair FeldmanKey TakeawaysIntro (00:00)From Penn to Detroit Mercy: why ortho won out over medicine (01:00)Blair's unusual journey into ortho—and architecture (01:35)Dental school culture at Penn and its impact on specialty training (02:27)21 years of experience: associate, buyer, builder, teacher, team ortho (17:10)The truth about being the “team orthodontist” for pro sports (17:58)How a casual idea about retainers turned into a funded business (20:30)Retainer Club: what it is, how it works, and who it's for (25:00)How recurring revenue + 3D printing changed the business model (22:40)Competitors vs. the real challenge: docs who think they're “fine” (26:43)Young orthodontists, hyper-efficiency, and outsourcing (28:25)Blair's passion for helping orthos bring product ideas to life (29:00)“Do you want a business, or just to see your idea in the real world?” (30:00)Advice on patents, investors, and entrepreneurial mindset (30:30)Additional ResourcesI've seen firsthand how a smart retainer program can transform your practice—financially and operationally. If you're tired of broken systems, endless remakes, or patients who stop coming back, Retainer Club might be exactly what you need.

Ask Me Anything: vCISO Strategy, IR, and Cyber Leadership | DailyCyber 281 ~ Watch Now ~In this AMA edition of DailyCyber, I answer questions cybersecurity leaders face every day — from rebuilding income after a layoff to navigating account compromise scenarios.This episode is packed with insights on mindset, leadership, communication, and technical decision-making.
The podcast episode discusses the advantages of prioritizing UGC Retainer Deals to move your income from 1-2k months to 8-10k months within the first quarter of 2026! Here is why over 50% of my monthly income comes from UGC retainers, how I book them and how to stand out to be hired for a retainer contract, even as a new creator. Here's a breakdown of the key points: • What are Retainers? A retainer means a brand or agency hires your services for a set duration, rather than for a single, one-off project (0:42-1:02). This provides predictable income, as you know how much content you'll produce and how much you'll be paid for a specific period (1:12-1:29). • Benefits of Retainers: • Predictable Income: Over 65-75% of the speaker's UGC income comes from retainers, providing stability and peace of mind (2:29-2:51). • Less Clients, More Money: You can achieve your income goals with fewer clients, which is ideal for those with other commitments (2:53-3:00). • No Pressure to Go Viral: The focus is on delivering consistent, valuable content, with the brand deciding how it's used (3:02-3:07). • Control: You control your rates, time, and schedule, and can customize retainers (3:09-3:15). • Efficiency: Working with fewer brands allows for deeper integration and understanding of their message and audience, leading to more efficient content creation (8:05-8:29). • Why Brands Love Retainers: Brands appreciate not having to constantly search for new creators, as it simplifies bookkeeping and ensures a consistent brand voice (1:59-2:25, 3:44-3:56). • How to Secure Retainers: • Communicate Value: Position the retainer as beneficial to the brand, focusing on how it solves their problems rather than your need for consistent income (4:09-4:45, 9:02-9:13). • Demonstrate Reliability: Brands look for creators who deliver on time, communicate well, follow directions, are easy to work with, and take feedback constructively (6:59-7:14). • Make the Brand Look Good: Delivering excellent content makes the brand's team members look good to their superiors, increasing your likelihood of being hired (7:25-7:37). • Common Length: Most common retainer lengths are 3 to 6 months, though some can be on a rolling basis (7:49-7:58). • What to Avoid: Be wary of brands that ask for free videos with the promise of a retainer later, as this can be a "carrot dangle" to get free content (5:31-5:56). Instead, counter with an offer for one paid video at your normal rate to test performance (6:03-6:20).

Kendric Tonn is a painter. He paints. Not houses. Oil painting. On this episode of The Lou Perez Podcast I talk with Kendric about classical painting, Florence (the city, not my mother), El Museo del Prado, art collecting, and how he sees the world as a painter vs how I see the world as a comedian. Kendric gives a helpful tip on how to appreciate a Mark Rothko painting: Understand them, in a sense, as landscapes that you can project yourself into. You can experience Rothkos as emotional landscapes. And it turns out you don't need to be a millionaire to start collecting art. Kendric offers some great advice on how to get started. (It also works as really good dating advice.) If you'd like to buy Kendric's work, reach out to him.

This week's episode is a collaboration with comedian Michael Regilio, host of Regilio v Everything. We talk about being dumb, young, and punk—which for Michael meant being a young Republican in high school. I take a trip down memory lane of that time I was cancelled in Dallas. And Michael shares with me all the insane things I had no idea were happening in the world. Did Michael scare me? Yes. But I'm still hopeful for the future. And I'm looking forward to Michael's forthcoming comedy special.

Points of Interest1:08 – 1:44 – Defining Retainers: Marcel and Carson introduce the topic of retainers, noting how different agencies define them in varied ways.2:05 – 2:37 – Core Benefit of Retainers: Carson explains that retainers create recurring revenue and provide clients with consistent access to agency resources.2:50 – 3:33 – Historical Context: Marcel traces retainers back to traditional professional services, where upfront payments secured future capacity.3:44 – 5:19 – Modern Variations: The conversation highlights how retainers have evolved into many models, including time-and-materials, flat fees, and performance-based pricing.5:32 – 7:04 – Pitfalls of Prepaid Hours: Carson critiques “bucket of hours” retainers, emphasizing their lack of control and operational strain.7:10 – 9:29 – Accrual Accounting Risks: Marcel outlines how prepaid hours create deferred revenue liabilities that are often untracked, leading to serious cash flow problems.11:05 – 11:41 – Operational Consequences: Carson notes that unexpected claims on rollover hours can overwhelm teams, forcing agencies into overwork or costly freelancer hires.12:04 – 14:33 – Pricing Model Quadrant: Marcel introduces the value–risk quadrant, showing how agencies should align retainer structures with engagement value and project risk.15:07 – 16:31 – Abstracted T&M Models: For high-value, high-risk work, Marcel explains why abstracting hours into larger time blocks or cross-functional teams improves leverage and profitability.17:00 – 18:21 – Low-Risk Models: The hosts outline flat retainers tied to deliverables and performance-based pricing tied to client outcomes, noting challenges with attribution.19:00 – 20:27 – Pricing Dynamics: Carson and Marcel discuss how flexibility and overages influence rates, with retainers often discounted for predictability but charged higher when clients exceed agreed capacity.37:06 – 38:14 – Account Management Posture: Marcel contrasts T&M models, where account managers say “yes and” to client requests, with fixed-scope retainers, where the posture shifts to “yes but” requiring tradeoffs or renegotiation.Show NotesConnect with Carson via LinkedIn4 Agency Pricing Models: Which One is Right for You?Maximizing Project Profit Margin: A Guide to Increasing ReturnsFree Agency ToolkitParakeeto Foundations CourseFree access to our Model PlatformLove the PodcastLeave us a review here.
Today I'm joined by The Radicalist David Josef Volodzko, news editor and senior writer at The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. If you have the means, FIRE is a great place to donate your money to. (Don't let the fact that I used to work for them sully your view of the premiere free-speech organization in the world.) David and I talk about his list of The New Yorker's racist staff writers, whether a hunger for ass makes one Black, Raja Jackson, and the curse my children put on me. I'm trying to forget the awful Thalidomide metaphor I made during the episode. It's not working. So here's my definition of Latinx — a word which, according to the center-left think tank Third Way, Democrats should stop using. I'm going to strike Thalidomide from my vocabulary as well.

Today's episode starts out on a disappointing note. My guest Rian Stone, video essayist and author of the novels Softbone: Down and Out in New Kowloon and The Dog Walker, thought he was coming on to talk to his professional-wrestling hero, “Lightning” Lou Perez. I'm sorry I had to break the kid's heart—I am not that Puerto Rican guy—but I think I made up it up to Rian. We talked about culture as a weapon (see Jackson Pollock and Martha Graham); what it's like to host a stand-up show with Bill Burr in the lineup; my good friend and Ski School alum Dean Cameron; and why Rian (and you) should see The Naked Gun reboot. Turns out, Rian and I are a rare breed: We like things. And we want to get back to making things that are fun and seeing things made that are fun too.

We all drift. Just like teeth shift without a retainer, our hearts drift without daily alignment with the Father. In this message, we talk about staying aligned with Him, resisting the pull of old ways, and walking in step with His Spirit.
A few weeks back I had former Detroit Piston Scot Pollard on the pod and this week I have current…Piston fan Kirk Wilcox. Both men have Piston jerseys with their last names on them. To which I wonder, is it tougher as an adult to wear a personalized jersey? Kirk and I talk about Warped Tour, the ‘04 “Going to Work” Pistons (appropriating blue-collar costumes), Marc Maron's Doug Allen act, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt (via Amity Shlaes's The Forgotten Man). FDR was stealing gold, killing pigs, technocrat'ing with chickens—and he still gets praise today, even though he reigned before “The Big Switch.” We have a new show on Lions of Liberty!

Gaby Blanco from the Dissident Project was born and raised in Havana, Cuba. She joins me today to talk about the communist island American leftists love to defend— while living in the United States, of course. What's it like to grow up with food rationing, no freedom to criticize the state, and with Cuba's big business of medical slavery? Gaby separates truth from propaganda. I hope you enjoy it. And if you're in Cuba, please let me know. Thanks to the Revolution Cubans in Miami can freely criticize the Cuban government without fear of imprisonment. Cuba would be better off had it not waited until 2021 to legalize private companies.

On this episode I had the pleasure of talking with Scot Pallard, NBA veteran and survivor of both the reality-TV show (Survivor season 32) and a heart transplant. Scot's the subject of the ESPN documentary Heart of Pearl (streaming now on ESPN+) and a volunteer spokesperson for Pearls of Life, which advocates for organ donations. In addition to discussing the near impossibility of finding a heart big enough for someone Scot's size (he's 6'11”—7' in heels), we also discuss what it's like to meet the family of your heart donor, the temptations that are thrown your way when you're a professional athlete, and how that Bryan Johnson dude somehow biohacked his body to look like Data from Star Trek. Scot's a new friend and my second friend who's had a heart transplant.

This is a special episode of The Lou Perez Podcast. So special, in fact, that it's not even an episode of The Lou Perez Podcast. No, it's my appearance on Isaac Simpson's podcast, The Carousel. Isaac was kind enough to have me on to take a deep dive into possibly the most important article to come out this year, Jean Garnett's “The Trouble with Wanting Men,” as published in the New York Times. OK, it's definitely not the most important article, but it's damn entertaining and revealing about where and when some of us are. (It even tricked me into buying a subscription to The Times.) Isaac and I get all the way into Garnett's 5,000 words to talk about Garnett's heterofatalism and total lack of self-awareness. Dear, Jean: Maybe dating is hard for you because you're so annoying and this is the breed of “man” you're seeing: ‘He tends to signal, in various ways, his exemption from the tainted category of “men,” and it is perfectly understandable that he would wish to do so.

This is a special episode of The Lou Perez Podcast. So special, in fact, that it's not even an episode of The Lou Perez Podcast. No, it's my appearance on Isaac Simpson's podcast, The Carousel. Isaac was kind enough to have me on to take a deep dive into possibly the most important article to come out this year, Jean Garnett's “The Trouble with Wanting Men,” as published in the New York Times. OK, it's definitely not the most important article, but it's damn entertaining and revealing about where and when some of us are. (It even tricked me into buying a subscription to The Times.) Isaac and I get all the way into Garnett's 5,000 words to talk about Garnett's heterofatalism and total lack of self-awareness. Dear, Jean: Maybe dating is hard for you because you're so annoying and this is the breed of “man” you're seeing: ‘He tends to signal, in various ways, his exemption from the tainted category of “men,” and it is perfectly understandable that he would wish to do so. It must be mildly embarrassing to be a straight man, and it is incumbent upon each of them to mitigate this embarrassment in a way that feels authentic to him.'
