Full show notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/lotus In this episode with KJ Dhaliwal of Lotus AI, you'll hear how translating his immigrant parents' doctor visits as a child and years spent bouncing through fragmented specialty care as a teenager after a disc herniation shaped his mission to give 100 million Americans free, world-class primary care using AI. KJ breaks down how Lotus AI pulls your entire medical history from every clinic and hospital you've ever visited in minutes, unifies it with your wearables and genetic data, and makes it available to both a conversational AI and a network of real licensed physicians who can diagnose you, prescribe treatment, and refer you to a specialist in under two minutes at any hour of the day. We also touch on why hospitals are quietly selling your health data to pharma, how the business model works when the product is free, and why KJ believes the AI-powered general doctor is not just possible but already happening. KJ Dhaliwal is the founder and CEO of Lotus AI. Before Lotus, he co-founded the largest South Asian dating app, which he grew and sold. At Lotus AI, his mission is to collapse the cost of healthcare delivery while making world-class primary care free and permanently accessible to every American. Download the Lotus AI app here.

⏰ Feeling overwhelmed in your dental practice? You may not need more team members—you may just need better systems. In this episode, Dayna Johnson shares one of the most impactful lessons from her nationwide Dentrix User Meetings: four practical ways dental teams can buy back time, reduce stress, and improve efficiency. Drawing from real conversations with office managers and practice owners, Dayna explains how stronger workflows, automation, and accurate data can transform the way your practice operates. Whether you're using Dentrix or another dental practice management software, these strategies will help your team spend less time scrambling and more time delivering an exceptional patient experience. ✅ Key Takeaways Shift from scramble time to preparation time with better pre-visit workflows. Embrace automation for insurance eligibility, appointment confirmations, online scheduling, and patient forms. Trust and optimize your automation tools instead of creating manual workarounds. Build a team-wide commitment to accurate, complete data entry. Finish every task all the way to the finish line to prevent costly mistakes. Eliminate outdated pop-ups and keep patient records clean and relevant. Use the Office Journal and reminders instead of relying on memory. Apply the KISS Method (Keep It Super Simple) to create workflows that are easier to train, follow, and scale. Strong systems reduce stress, improve patient care, and create high-performing dental teams.

In April we are moving into budgeting for food. Our Saturday episodes will still be about decluttering. Our declutter focus area for April is your bedroom. In May we dreamed big!

Summer doesn't just make pools warmer. It makes them harder to manage, easier to mess up, and way more visible to the people paying the bill. We talk through what really changes once swim season arrives: heavier bather loads, more sunscreen and organics, faster chlorine loss, and a sharp rise in “can you come today?” customer calls before parties and weekends.We also get practical about keeping water clear when conditions get extreme. You'll hear our take on “chlorine enhancers” that help chlorine last longer by preventing algae and reducing what chlorine has to fight, including borates (around 30 to 50 ppm), mineral options like PoolRx (with key cautions around high chlorine when it's dissolving), and the one-two punch of enzymes plus phosphate removal. If you've been chasing cloudy water, fighting recurring algae, or watching free chlorine disappear midweek, these tools can act like an insurance policy during peak heat.Then we zoom out to the summer math: why the common “lose 1 ppm of free chlorine per day” idea can fall apart under a high UV index, warm water, and active swimmers, and how to use a CYA-based minimum target like the 7.5% guideline to stay ahead of problems. If you want stronger summer pool maintenance habits, better chlorine stability, and fewer emergency cleanups, this one is built for you.Subscribe for more pool care and pool service pro tips, share this with a friend who's battling summer water, and leave a review so more people can find the show. What's the biggest problem you see every summer: algae, low chlorine, or customer pressure?Summer pool care gets harder because swim season changes everything, from bather load to UV burn-off to how fast chlorine can drop. We share the practical tools we use to keep pools clear under pressure, including chlorine enhancers, smarter chlorine targets, and a mindset that expects more customer calls.  • swim season timing shifts and why that affects pool routes  • bather load as the biggest summer variable for water balance  • chlorine enhancers that help prevent algae forming  • borates at roughly 30 to 50 ppm as an algaestat and pH buffer  • PoolRx mineral technology and why high chlorine matters at startup  • enzymes plus phosphate remover as the one-two punch  • UV index, warm water, and long days accelerating chlorine loss  • the 7.5% free chlorine to CYA guideline and how borates can change the target  • why summer brings more complaints and last-minute party urgency  Join the pool guy coaching program.

Why is wasted time the most expensive cost in business? In Episode 251 of Talkin' Shop with ShopSabre, hosts Brandon Bombardo and Nick Peters explain why time — not broken machines, material costs, or competition — is the single resource a business can never recover once it's spent.   This episode covers the real-world cost of poor follow-through in manufacturing and the trades: unanswered quote requests, ignored emails, missed meetings, and delayed decisions. ShopSabre is an American CNC manufacturer based in Lakeville, Minnesota that builds CNC routers, plasma tables, and fiber lasers, and Brandon draws directly on what the ShopSabre sales team sees every day to illustrate how wasted time compounds.   Brandon answers a key question: why does ignoring a small problem cost so much more later? He walks through how one avoided a five-minute conversation — like not addressing an employee who shows up late — can snowball into missed deadlines, lost team trust, employee turnover, and ultimately a lost customer. The takeaway: clarity beats slow uncertainty every time, and reliability, not brilliance, is what builds a business reputation.   The episode also answers two listener questions. First, the difference between vacuum and CFM on a vacuum pump: vacuum measures how hard the pump pulls and holds the part, while CFM measures how much air it moves to overcome leakage on porous materials. Brandon explains why ShopSabre recommends Becker vacuum pumps — they run quieter, last longer in dusty woodworking environments, and deliver the highest pressure rating head-to-head for the money. Second, why sharing your full quote matters: customers who actually compare line-by-line quotes usually find ShopSabre delivers more value, not just a lower sticker price.   This episode is for CNC shop owners, cabinet makers, metal fabricators, and any small business owner who wants to stop losing time, money, and customers to broken communication. 00:00 - Why Wasted Time Quietly Costs Businesses Thousands Every Year 03:11 - Time Is the Most Expensive Currency: Why You Can't Earn It Back 06:30 - Working Smarter Should Feel Like Cheating: Using Resources to Save Time 07:16 - Vacuum vs. CFM Explained: Why Vacuum Holds the Part, Not Airflow 10:15 - Why ShopSabre Recommends Becker Vacuum Pumps Over Cheaper Imports 12:23 - Why Sharing Your Full Quote Wins More Deals Than a Low Price 16:00 - Why Follow-Through Has Become the Rarest Skill in Business 24:58 - How Saying "No" Honestly Opens the Door to a Better Outcome 30:30 - How One Avoided 5-Minute Conversation Snowballs Into Lost Customers 33:16 - Why Reliability Beats Brilliance: Reputation Is Built on Consistency 38:35 - The Takeaway: Time Is Expensive Financially, Mentally, and Emotionally 42:25 - Why Communication Is a Lost Art: The Race Helmet Story 46:09 - Final Word: Respect Time, Honor Commitments, Keep Building #ShopSabre #TalkinShop #CNC #CNCRouter #SmallBusiness #TimeManagement #Manufacturing #Woodworking #BusinessGrowth #CNCMachine #ShopLife #Entrepreneur #MadeInUSA #Fabrication #BusinessTips Discover all our CNC machines and accessories: https://www.shopsabre.com/  Follow ShopSabre for daily updates, tutorials, and expert tips:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shopsabre Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shopsabre Twitter/X: https://x.com/ShopSabreCNC  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@shopsabre  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/shopsabre-cnc/  Since 2000, ShopSabre CNC has delivered high-quality CNC routers, plasma cutters, and laser engraving machines built in the USA to businesses and hobbyists worldwide.

Artificial intelligence is changing the way executives work—but not in the way many people think. According to discussions across LinkedIn and the executive assistant community, the most effective approach is often a hybrid one: using AI to handle repetitive administrative and data-heavy tasks while allowing Executive Assistants to focus on strategic organization, judgment, communication, and relationship management. The goal isn't replacing people—it's helping them operate at a higher level. (LinkedIn) This week, I sat down with Harley Green, CEO of InvestAway and Workergenix, to explore how business owners, investors, and executives can use leverage—both technological and financial—to create more freedom and better results. Harley brings a unique perspective because he's lived every side of the investment journey. A former computer engineer turned real estate entrepreneur, he built his experience through house flipping, BRRRR strategies, private lending, and creative capital deployment. From utilizing HELOCs and infinite banking concepts to strategically selling properties and redeploying capital into lending opportunities, Harley understands how money can be put to work efficiently and effectively. Today, through InvestAway, he helps investors generate returns through short-term, real estate-backed lending opportunities. At the same time, through Workergenix, he helps overwhelmed business owners reclaim between 15 and 30 hours each week by pairing them with AI-powered Executive Assistants who manage inboxes, scheduling, reporting, follow-ups, coordination, and other critical operational tasks. As Harley explains, many executives don't suffer from a lack of ambition—they suffer from a lack of bandwidth. Too often, leaders spend their days trapped in execution rather than focused on vision, growth, and leadership. Workergenix was built to solve that problem by providing dedicated support that operates inside existing business systems while ensuring accountability and follow-through. During our conversation, we discuss: • Why AI works best as an enhancement rather than a replacement for human judgment • How Executive Assistants are evolving into strategic business partners • The biggest operational bottlenecks holding leaders back • Creative strategies for raising and deploying capital • Lessons learned from real estate investing, private lending, and entrepreneurship • How delegation creates freedom, scalability, and growth • What it takes to successfully run multiple businesses while traveling internationally and raising a family Whether you're an entrepreneur looking to buy back your time, an executive searching for operational efficiency, or an investor seeking new ways to grow your capital, this conversation offers practical insights on building systems that create both income and freedom. Join us for an engaging discussion on the intersection of AI, organizational efficiency, real estate investing, leadership, and wealth creation with Harley Green.   For more information: https://www.investaway.co/ Discover More: https://workergenix.com/ LinkedIn: @HarleyGreen Listen: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/scale-smart-grow-fast/id1770366237 Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us Fan MailAI in nonprofit fundraising strategy is transforming how organizations operate—but using it incorrectly can damage donor relationships and trust. In this conversation, Katie Gaston of Bloomerang opens the box with practical guidance on how to use AI effectively while avoiding the most common pitfalls.Nonprofit professionals are increasingly turning to AI tools for donor research, reporting, and communications. The opportunity is clear: faster workflows, better insights, and increased capacity. But as Katie explains, AI is not a replacement for human judgment—it's a tool to enhance it. “AI should be a supportive arm… but it should never replace your judgment as a fundraiser.”From donor asks to personalized stewardship, the human connection remains at the core of successful fundraising. AI can prepare you for meetings, surface insights, and even recommend strategies—but it cannot replicate the emotional intelligence required in critical moments.This episode also addresses key operational risks. Sending AI-generated content without review, relying too heavily on automated insights, and failing to maintain clean data can all create serious challenges. As Katie reminds us, “The quality of your data is what AI will know—garbage in, garbage out.”You'll also learn how AI can dramatically improve efficiency—reducing hours of reporting work to minutes—while freeing your team to focus on relationship-building and strategic thinking.The takeaway? AI isn't replacing fundraising—it's redefining how effective fundraisers work. 00:00:00 Introduction to AI in Fundraising00:03:10 Meet Penny: AI Fundraising Assistant00:06:00 Why AI Should NOT Make Donor Asks00:09:00 Reviewing AI Output to Avoid Risk00:11:30 AI vs. Human Donor Knowledge00:14:30 Data Quality and CRM Accuracy00:17:30 Protecting Your Nonprofit Voice00:22:00 Personalization vs. Automation in Donor Care00:25:45 Using AI to Save Time and Increase Capacity00:27:00 How Fast Should Nonprofits Adopt AI?00:30:00 Final Thoughts on AI Strategy#TheNonprofitShow #NonprofitEfficiency #FundraisingStrategyFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us  Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits!  12:30pm ET   11:30am CT  10:30am MT  9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

We cover the environmental impact of large language models, data centre energy use, and how tracking prompt efficiency acts as a sustainability intervention. Topics include conscious creativity, digital carbon footprint, work footprint, and practical steps for reducing AI energy consumption at work.Every time AI comes up in a marketing conversation, someone asks: "But what about the planet?" This webinar is the answer to that question.Seb Royce, Creative and Communications Partner at Eden Lab, joined us as someone who's been sitting with this tension for years. He loves AI. He uses it every day. But he's also a marketer who audited his own work footprint, took a course at the Cambridge Institute for Sustainable Leadership, and came out the other side with a framework he actually uses.

If you use social media in your practice and it takes a lot of time and/or doesn't generate many actual patients, then this episode is for you. The appeal of AI is obvious for this delima: it can save time, speed up content creation, and help you get more mileage out of what you already produce.  But there is also a real risk here, and it is one a lot of practice owners are starting to run into. When AI is used too heavily or too lazily, your content starts to feel generic, impersonal, non-human, and easy to ignore. That is what this episode is really about. It is not about whether AI is good or bad. It is about how to use it in a way that makes your marketing more efficient without stripping out the human quality that actually builds trust and gets people to pick up the phone or DM your practice.  What You'll Learn in This Episode Why fully AI-generated social media content often underperforms How to use AI to save time without losing authenticity How a few simple videos can become weeks of useful content What still needs to stay human if you want social media to actually generate patients USEFUL INFORMATION: Check out our course: Cash-Based Practice Freedom 2.0

Buyers are walking into showings with ChatGPT “research,” bold opinions on price, and a level of confidence that may or may not be backed by facts. That new reality can feel intimidating, so we brought on Rider Harris, an AI trainer who works with teams across the country, to explain what AI is, what it isn't, and how real estate agents can use it without losing their voice.We talk through a simple, repeatable way to get better results from tools like Google Gemini and ChatGPT: assign a role, add context, give a clear command, then tell the AI to ask you questions. Rider explains why that structure boosts both speed and quality, and why “grip it and rip it” AI content on social media is easy to spot and hurts trust. We also get tactical on Gemini inside Google Workspace, including planning your week from your inbox and calendar, and creating a realistic open house follow-up plan that gets you beyond the touches where most agents quit.Then we zoom out to answer engine optimization and the buyer and seller shift: people are skipping ten blue links and asking an AI for the best answer on neighborhoods, schools, comps, and even which agent to hire. Rider shares why you should search yourself and your listings with AI, how to respond to hallucinations, and why the winning formula is still human plus AI. Subscribe, share this with an agent who feels overwhelmed, and leave a review with the one task you want AI to take off your plate.

In this episode of the WIIRE podcast, we dig into practical, real-world ways female real estate investors are using AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude to save time, money, and stress—without losing the human touch that makes real estate a relationship business. We start with the ethics: why you should always be transparent about using AI, why you must verify everything it produces (especially legal, tax, and financial content), and how to keep building your own skills instead of outsourcing your thinking to a bot. You'll hear specific examples from women in the WIIRE Community who use AI to draft clearer, kinder tenant communications, translate for Spanish-speaking tenants, summarize confusing contractor explanations, and turn Loom videos into SOPs. We also cover using AI to read zoning ordinances and city codes, compare construction budgets and bids, analyze complex invoices, build simple financial analysis spreadsheets, and even negotiate inspection repairs—like one member who used AI-generated reports and photos to secure a $70K price reduction on a triplex.  On the creative side, we talk about AI for rental design and furnishing checklists, direct mail marketing campaigns, investor pitch decks, and even rough revenue models for potential campground or glamping sites. You'll also hear how one investor used AI to calculate her exact FIRE number and design her ideal snowbird lifestyle. Finally, we touch on real estate–specific tools like TurboTenant's AI maintenance bot and how AI can help with insurance questions and refunds, positioning AI as your smartest “employee” that doesn't need a W2—but always needs your oversight.     Resources: Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenant Get in touch with Envy Investment Group Check out Steadily for all your rental property insurance needs Make sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community  Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Leave us a review on Spotify Join our private Facebook Community Connect with us on Instagram

What if video could shave 20 minutes off your leadership meetings and help your team come prepared with the right questions?In this episode, Matt sits down with Chris King, Principal Consultant at CRK Learning LLC, to explore how project managers working in L&D can use video to communicate more effectively.Chris manages a multimillion-dollar e-learning project with a team of around 25 people, and he's found that recording video walkthroughs of spreadsheets, creating how-to videos for SMEs, and sharing quick video updates in place of emails can transform how a project runs.The conversation covers Chris's take on the three core types of PM communication, the tools he relies on day-to-day, and why working with the right team matters as much as having the right process.Chris also shares his thoughts on using visuals in presentations, why he prefers icons and process flows over cinematic imagery, and what the future of AI-driven video could look like in learning experiences.Learning points from the episode include:00:00 – 00:48 Introduction00:48 – 01:27 Chris's background and PMP certification01:27 – 03:12 Being a ‘gist person' as a project manager03:12 – 05:41 The three types of project management communication05:41 – 07:07 Chris' preferred tools: ClickUp, Excel, PowerPoint, and Slack07:07 – 09:05 Using video for project reports and leadership meetings09:05 – 10:42 Using video to onboard subject matter experts10:42 – 12:55 How teams respond to video communication12:55 – 16:16 Visuals in presentations, AI image generation, and Chris's visual style16:16 – 18:07 Experimenting with AI video in practice modules18:07 – 20:39 Using video like an email and advice for the hesitant20:39 – 23:13 Speed round23:13 – 24:03 How to connect with Chris24:03 – 24:23 Chris's final take24:23 OutroImportant links and mentions:Connect with Chris on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kingpin/Learn more about Camtasia: https://www.techsmith.com/camtasia/Explore Snagit: https://www.techsmith.com/snagit/Learn more about Audiate: https://www.techsmith.com/camtasia/audiate/

AI tools are everywhere right now… but if you're a Realtor, the real question is: how do you actually use them in your day-to-day business?In this episode of The Katie Lance Podcast, I'm sharing a behind-the-scenes recap of a recent Coffee with Katie training where we explored how real estate professionals can use Gemini and Google tools to work smarter, save time, and simplify their workflow.Many agents are already using Gmail, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Drive every day. When you add Gemini into that ecosystem, those tools become a powerful productivity stack that can help you move faster without adding more complicated tech.In this episode, I walk through nine practical workflows you can start experimenting with right away, from drafting listing descriptions to researching market trends and organizing content ideas.Remember: AI should support your expertise — not replace it. Think of it as a first-draft assistant that helps you stay consistent and efficient during busy seasons.If you've been curious about AI but want practical, real-world examples for real estate professionals, this episode is for you.Links Mentioned in This Episode:Gemini + Google Tools Class#GetSocialSmart AcademyFree resource libraryQuestions?
