Ever feel like your checklists are getting longer while your problems get louder? We shine a light on the quiet force that stalls growth in so many dental practices: the truth everyone knows but no one says. Borrowing the concept of “mokita,” we explore how unspoken issues infect culture, erode patient experience, and drain profit—then we show you how to end the silence without blowing up your team.We walk through a simple, repeatable framework for tough conversations: Ask permission, State how you feel, Share the issue clearly, and Seek to understand. You'll hear how this approach lowers defensiveness, creates psychological safety, and replaces gossip with honest dialogue. From chronically late hygiene schedules to front desk friction, we unpack how to distinguish a process problem from a conversation problem, and why addressing the latter first makes your systems actually work. Real-world examples reveal how a single candid talk can outperform a dozen SOP tweaks.By the end, you'll have a practical script for tackling your biggest cultural bottlenecks and a weekly challenge to surface one mokita and resolve it. Expect fewer energy leaks, stronger accountability, and a smoother, more profitable practice that runs on trust. Ready to lead with clarity and courage?

What if you could document your processes, create SOPs, and assign tasks to your team—all in five minutes?In this episode, Kristen shares how she went from spending hours writing standard operating procedures to having an AI agent handle it all. She records herself doing a task once, drops the video into her Claude AI agent, and within minutes it drafts the entire SOP, writes task descriptions, and assigns work to her team through Asana.This isn't about replacing people—it's about reclaiming the time you spend being the bottleneck in your own business. Kristen walks through her system for building AI agents that think like you, trained on your voice and your processes. She shares how this approach saves her 90 minutes per delegation and keeps her focused on growth instead of operations.If you're tired of writing SOPs, managing every detail, or wishing your team could read your mind, this episode shows you a practical way to build your AI business team.
Lumajang – Badan Gizi Nasional (BGN) memperketat SOP (Standar Operational Procedure) pengantaran Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG). Pengetatan SOP ini dilakukan agar tidak terjadi hal-hal yang tidak diinginkan, sebagaimana terjadi dalam insiden mobil pengantar makanan program MBG yang menabrak 20 siswa dan seorang guru SDN 01 Kalibaru, Cilincing, Jakarta Utara, Kamis (11/12/2025). Salah satu SOP yang ditetapkan adalah mobil pengantar MBG hanya di luar pagar, dan tidak perlu masuk pekarangan sekolah. “Usahakan tidak masuk membawa makanan ke halaman. Cukup diantar di depan pagar. Kenapa? Karena meskipun tidak ada upacara, anak-anak itu kan sering lari-lari di halaman,” kata Wakil Kepala BGN bidang Komunikasi Publik dan Investigasi Nanik Sudaryati Deyang dalam pengarahannya di acara Sosialisasi dan Penguatan Tata Kelola MBG, Serta Pengawasan dan Pemantauan SPPG, di Ballroom Aston Inn, Lumajang, Sabtu, 13 Desember 2025.
BGN akan memperketat mekanisme penggantian sopir cadangan imbas insiden mobil MBG yang menabrak kerumunan siswa SDN 01 Kalibaru, Cilincing, Jakarta Utara pada Kamis (11/12). Kepala BGN, Dadan Hidayana mengatakan dengan adanya kasus penggantian sopir ini kelihatannya menjadi isight baru bagi BGN dan KaSPPG secara cermat mengganti atau memilih sopir cadangan yang kualifikasinya sama. Karena selama ini bahkan di dalam juknis sudah ditulis bahwa mobil sebelum digunakan untuk melakukan pengiriman itu wajib dilakukan cek setiap waktu.Kepala Biro Hukum dan Humas BGN, Khairul Hidayati menuturkan belasungkawa atas insiden ini dan memastikan kepada seluruh korban agar mendapatkan perawatan yang terbaik serta timnya akan melakukan investigasi internal bersama kepolisian untuk memastikan kejadian seperti ini tidak terulang lagi. Hida mengatakan bahwa pihaknya akan berkomitmen memperbaiki seluruh aspek terkait SOP, termasuk mekanisme penggantian sopir dan mengecek kendaraan, serta memastikan standar keamanan layanan MBG diterapkan secara maksimal, Minggu (14/12) siang.

From weekly check-ins and shared agendas to onboarding rhythms, accountability systems, and clear “when you're stuck” instructions, I'll show you exactly how I keep projects moving without micromanaging or constantly feeling behind.If you've ever hired a VA and felt disappointed, or if you're just trying to organize your practice so it doesn't drain the life out of you, these are the steps I wish someone had handed me years ago.In this episode, you'll learn:The five SOPs that transformed my practice, including communication rhythms, shared spaces, clear action items, and a visual workflow your VA can follow.How I delegate tasks without miscommunication, using Trello, AI notes, Loom walk-throughs, WhatsApp updates, and first-attempt feedback loops that set everyone up for success.Why onboarding takes time—and what that actually looks like, including starter projects, daily accountability check-ins, and the “when you're stuck” SOP that keeps work from stalling out.If you're ready to stop running your practice on stress and start running it on systems, this is the episode you've been waiting for.If you're ready to lead with confidence, join the 2026 Supervisor Course waitlist for early access to bonus tools, templates, and fast-track grading.

Vamos a aclarar todas estas preguntas basándonos en ciencia, no en creencias.En este episodio descubrirás:Qué es realmente la creatina y cómo actúa en el músculo y el cerebro.Los mitos más comunes… desmontados uno a uno.Cuándo empiezan a verse sus beneficios y por qué no funciona de un día para otro.Quién se beneficia más: fuerza, resistencia, menopausia, SOP, embarazo (con supervisión), personas mayores, veganos…En qué casos NO es necesaria ni aporta casi nada.Dosis, tipo recomendado, cómo tomarla y si hace falta “fase de carga”.Por qué el sello Creapure no es más efectivo, pero sí aporta garantías extra de pureza.Errores habituales al suplementar y cómo evitarlos.La creatina no es mágica, pero tampoco peligrosa en población sana.Es una herramienta útil cuando se usa en el contexto adecuado: fuerza, recomposición corporal, rendimiento, pérdida de masa muscular asociada a la edad o menopausia, y dietas muy bajas en creatina.Un episodio imprescindible si quieres entender de una vez qué hace, qué no hace y si te conviene tomarla.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/comiendo-con-maria-nutricion--2497272/support.

You started your business for freedom, but now you're working more than ever. You're stuck in the weeds, and the idea of handing tasks to someone else feels like letting them borrow your own child. Sound familiar? In this episode, Kevin from the Pro Sulum team unpacks the brutal psychology behind why delegation feels impossible—and exposes the three big lies keeping you trapped in your business instead of working ON it. If you're dealing with burnout, working 60+ hour weeks, or convinced that "no one can do it like you can," this episode will challenge everything you think you know about delegation. This isn't your typical "just hire a VA" advice. This is about understanding the psychological barriers, dismantling the lies, and building systems that actually set you free.
Tired of saying it's faster if I do it myself? We dive into a practical, human way to break the bottleneck and build a business that runs with you, not because of you. Our guest, Brittany Bettini of I Need a VA, lays out a straightforward blueprint: start with a life audit, delegate low-joy work, and capture your “pie recipe” in clear SOPs so results stay consistent even when hands change.We get honest about control, especially the hyper-independence many women entrepreneurs carry into their businesses. Brittany shares how she moved from doing everything to doing only what lights her up—coaching, teaching, creating—while VAs handle operations, inboxes, research, scheduling, design assets, and home tasks like groceries and laundry. The key isn't just offloading tasks; it's choosing what to keep based on joy, genius, and revenue impact, then backing the rest with documentation that a new hire can follow on day one.You'll hear how to use Loom and AI to turn screen recordings into step-by-step SOPs, why in-house virtual assistants (especially experienced Filipino VAs) protect your IP and culture, and how to structure training so your team writes and updates the manuals as they work. We cover mistakes to avoid—like over-relying on agencies for core functions—and the management rhythms that keep quality high without micromanaging: clear outcomes, visible dashboards, and monthly SOP reviews. Think of delegation like a pendulum: initial training takes time and money, then the swing returns with compounding freedom, focus, and revenue.If you're ready to stop being the bottleneck and start being the leader, this conversation gives you the tools and the nudge to move.

This episode brings together members of John Kim's Single on Purpose coaching team for an unfiltered, deeply human conversation about what happened when the SOP community was suddenly closed. These are therapists, coaches, and facilitators — doing therapy on each other — exploring the activation, the grief, the meaning, and the unexpected wounds that surfaced. You'll hear them talk about: What SOP meant to them personally and professionally The abrupt ending and why it hit so hard Abandonment wounds, leadership, and rupture-repair The magic of the community they built together Why therapists are human, vulnerable, and messy too What they're taking with them into the next chapter Whether you were part of SOP, or you're experiencing your own ending, transition, or rupture — this conversation will land.

In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross dives deep into embracing AI with clarity and direction rather than chaos and overwhelm. Rather than chasing trendy tools or piling on new software, Ross introduces the powerful AIM Framework—a proven model he's developed to help founders, marketers, and operators use AI with intentionality. AIM stands for Accelerate, Integrate, and Multiply. Whether you're a startup founder, marketer, or operator, this episode will help you cut through the AI noise, re-center your focus, and make AI a meaningful part of your business operations—without burning out or overengineering. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. The AI Trap vs. The AI Advantage - Most people and teams are experimenting with AI but lack a clear direction - Too many tools, not enough strategy—resulting in overwhelm and inefficiency - AI should be used as leverage, not decoration 2. The AIM Framework Overview - Accelerate — Ask: What's slowing you down that AI can speed up? — Time-saving use cases: email follow-ups, brainstorm facilitation, web research, document summarization — Pro Tip: Use AI not just to cut corners, but to build momentum - Integrate — Ask: Where does process friction slow down workflow and can AI resolve it? — Look for bottlenecks across marketing, sales, operations, and finance — Real-world scenarios: auto-updating sales decks, syncing spreadsheets, draft consistency, SOP standardization — Daily mantra: “Where is there friction, and can AI remove it?” - Multiply — Ask: What's already working well, and how can AI do more of that? — Repurpose top-performing assets using tools like Distribution.ai — Perform customer insights, expand reach, clone high performers — AI is best when compounding what already brings value Resources & Tools:

Today we are talking about something that every virtual assistant needs… but very few actually take the time to build properly. Standard Operating Procedures - better known as SOPs. Okay so maybe it's not entirely true about very few building them properly. But there are a LOT of VAs that I have talked to that do not have anything documented. If that's you, then I'm glad you're here listening in today. How detailed does an SOP need to be when it's for something you specialize in? This question comes up all the time in my coaching calls, in my mastermind group, and in conversations with newer VAs who feel pressure to write SOPs that are either way too complicated or not detailed enough. So today I'm going to walk you through what your SOPs should include, how to know the right level of detail, and how your SOPs actually make you more confident and more valuable to your clients. SOPs don't just help you deliver great work. They help you feel more confident about the work you're doing, and they help clients feel more confident in hiring you. If you want to get some help creating SOPs for your VA business, or you want templates you can start with right away, reach out to me anytime. You can get in touch with me at YourVAMentor.com/links I'd love to help you get some standards into your VA business so you can work more efficiently, get more done, and love your VA business again. That's all I've got for you this week - thanks for tuning in to this episode of The Ridiculously Good VA Show. I'll see you next time!

In this raw and insightful episode of Brush Busters, coaches Jesse and Gavin dive deep into some of the most pressing (and personal) challenges painting business owners face today:
When it comes to scaling smarter, not scattered, there are three mistakes owners make that hurt efficiency, profitability, and leadership. Kiera talks about how Dental A-Team helps practices simplify methods so that success is humming across all locations. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera and I hope you are having such an amazing day. Today is podcasting day and I actually did a little reel for you guys to come and enjoy getting ready for me on podcasting day. My husband and I, we did this funny thing when I got like amped myself up and we're like, I love my life. I love my job. I love podcasting. And I don't know if you guys have seen that little girl. who does that where she gets so excited about life and it's like, I love my bed, I love my hot tub, I love my view. And truly I love all of you. And I'm just super excited to be here with you podcasting, to be talking about great things in dentistry. And today I think that this one's going out to our multi-practice owners. And these are three costly gaps that I've noticed within multi-practice ownership that really try to highlight some of the gaps because at the end of the day, the podcast was created to help all dentists elevate, to help all of us rise, to positively impact the world of dentistry in the greatest way possible. And that's what we're about. That's what our mission is. That's what I'm about. And so today going out to those multi-practice owners, or for those of you thinking about multi-practice ownership and do you want to do this? do you want to like, what are some of these gaps that maybe could also impact solo practice owners? So at Dental A Team, do work with solo practice owners, multi-practice owners. We work with... like from basically one million, you know, you're maybe at that 650, one million range, all the way up to that 10, 15, $20 million range as well for practices. And there is a no one size fits all in Dental A Team I'm very, very, very, very big on who we hire and who the people are within our company. And with our clients that this is your life. This is your dream. There is no ultimate destination that we're trying to get all of our practices to. There is no final You've got to hit this in order to be excellent within Dental A Team. is what is your life? We have some owners that are working at two or three days a week. We have some owners that are working six days a week. We have some that want multi-practice ownership. have others that want solo practice ownership. We have some that are solo practitioners doing 4 million in one location of about six to seven operatories. We have others that are in multi-locations doing 2 million. So really there is a no one size fits all. It's more what do you want to be? And we call this the yes model. So where do you personally and professionally want to be. stands for earnings to make sure you're profitable and S stands for systems and teams to support that. So really making sure that way you can say yes to your life, yes to the things you want in life. That's what we're about. So with that, like when you look at multi-practice ownership, it does not necessarily mean adding more profit. I've talked to several multi-practice owners that are actually making less money in multi-practice ownership than they are. prior to expanding to multi locations. Think about it. You've got one location that's doing really well, the other one's not doing so well, well, your good one has to then support your not so cash flowing one. So sometimes it actually can be a lot more costly for you. And so for you to just realize that some of the ways that we can do this will actually impact solo practitioners. ⁓ And so the three things that we're gonna work on today are like, things that hurt efficiency, they hurt profitability and they hurt leadership. So when we look at this, doing a deep dive on that, that's really what I want you to look at of like how you can scale smarter and not scattered because really with multi-practice ownership, I remember the day we opened our second location. Our first practice was doing, it was 500,000 to 2.4 million in nine months. And then we opened our second location and you better believe that it was like just adding more fuel to this already burning chaos fire. I think that's really, really clear. And I hope you heard that it was adding more fuel. to the chaos fire, not to the profitable fire, but to the chaos fire. ⁓ And that was really, really, really struggling. ⁓ It was hard on me. It was hard on our practice. It was hard on the team. I was not showing up as a great manager. I was not showing up as a great ⁓ leader. I was not showing up as a great partner. ⁓ I was not showing up great in my marriage. It was like literally just trying to swim through and feel like I was trying to survive rather than doing it smart. And so that's something really big that we've been wanting to do for all of you is to give you this smarter way. Dental A Team was really here for you. It was built by people who are just like you, who have been in your shoes, they don't just understand you, but have actually been in your shoes, who's walked the walk, talked the talk, and we've done it very successfully. So I love to help offices. Hopefully we're helping you. ⁓ And if you love this podcast, please be sure to like it, start, share it, because that's how we're able to help and influence more people. number one, the biggest number one miss is no centralized operations. So that means ⁓ we don't... we don't have a central plan and instead our practices are individual islands. This was very much my practices. We had our one and it was doing certain things and we had our second one and it was not doing certain things. And so going from each practice felt like I was going to multiple different locations, multi different pieces and that really gets hard. And so we have inconsistent systems which means we have unpredictable outcomes. And then on that, like we did not have a set way that we'd schedule. So we'd schedule one way at our first location another way at our second location. Our billing was not the same. The way we were insurance verifying, our fee schedules weren't even the same because we were in two different cities. And so we had different fee schedules. ⁓ Reporting was not the same. We did not have leaders in both practices. We did not have SOPs that could scale. Like truly our operations manual was not done and we just thought buy another practice and let's go through this. Rather than having a set standard, and this is something I'm really big on when people want to go to multi-practice ownership or they're already in multi-practice ownership. This is really where we start. There's a practice that we're working with and I think about them, were, the solo doctor was running around to every single location, trying to out-produce the problems instead of fixing the problems at the base level. And that's going to be through this of like centralized systems and getting systems in place and like having our scheduling and our billing and our cashflow consistent and looking at each of the individual practices ⁓ to make sure that they are centralized. And so when we work with multi-locations, What we do is we actually simplify it down. So you don't necessarily have to have centralized billing or scheduling like right away. Once you get to that four or five, usually it's very recommended to have centralized billing or I've got some practices that are multi like it's one location, but they have about 15 to 17 operatories. Well, that does count in my opinion as multi ops, multi practices, cause a lot of times multi practices are like five ops or more. So you think about a 15 op practice that's like three practices, but just under one roof. So even in this larger practice, I often recommend we start to centralizing. So we have a set standard of how we're doing billing. We have different reporting metrics. You've got to have the KPIs. We've got to have the set system. So what we started to do is we standardized the operatories. So all ops are the same. We standardized how we're scheduling. We're all in the same softwares. We have an SOP. So we've got our front office, our back office teams, and we do the exact same way. So how we're doing it. We had both practices auditing each other so that we standards were not getting missed and it wasn't. Well, this practice does it this way and this one does it this way. No, we're trying to make these standardized. that way, again, it's not so that way we can't have our own flare and variety at the different locations, but it's so that way when practices show up and doctors show up, we're actually able to be efficient and effective because we're able to have it be the same. It's like, could you imagine ⁓ if your practices were like everybody's varying different houses? So the way I put my silverware in my house might be very different than where you put your silverware in your house. So just imagine we've got five different houses, how much easier it would be if we all walk in and we all agree that silverware goes to the right of the dishwasher. Well, now, no matter where the dishwasher is placed in a house, we know silverware will always be to the right of the dishwasher. Just like when we walk into an operatory, we always know that the ⁓ disposable, so our gauze, our cotton, is always to the right of X. It all practices. So as much as we can get them similar, so that way it's just more efficient, it's more streamlined, everything is working together rather than against each other. but truly getting centralized operations in multi-operatories or multi-locations is going to be one of the biggest ways to cut costs, to save time, and to make it more efficient for a better patient care all the way around the board. So really look at your practice and see, do we have inconsistent systems? Are we doing things differently? Do we have different flares and flavors? Do we have like five different houses within our multi-practice ownership? And what could we do to unify it across all of the practices this quarter? And usually when I'm starting with an office, I'm going to look for the scheduling because that's usually the fastest. Then the operatories will be my next piece that I'm going to go for. And then after that, we're going to go into our billing tactics and making sure that goes into it, which leads me right into point number two. And this is gap number two and it's profit per location is not being tracked. A lot of times when people get multipractices, what they do is they just keep it all under one tax ID number. I understand your reasoning. I did that when I started my multiple businesses. It actually gets really hairy scary. And so ⁓ Yes, like let's untangle this. I'm not a CPA. My job is not to be giving you financial advice. My job is just to help you as a consultant. We pair really well with CPAs. And so miss number two is when we don't have profit being tracked per location, but overall as total revenue, but not knowing which practice is profitable and which practice is struggling. That's a really, really, really big miss as a practice. So helping you just understand that you've got to a hundred percent. make sure we're looking at the profitability and breaking it apart. So each practice has its own tax ID number. Yes, this is annoying. Yes, you have to fix the billing pieces for it, but each practice needs to be treated like its own individual business unit. within the bigger whole. So it's like we have the same standards, we have the same operatory setup, we have the same softwares, we have the same billing tactics, but what we have is we make sure each practice is profitable. So we know how much are we paying for all the fixed versus variable costs and we're tracking those within each location. When team members travel between each location, they're actually paid out of two separate entities. So they could be technically putting in more than 40 hours, but if they're only putting 20 hours here and 30 hours here, technically that's not over time. It's like working two different jobs. Now you have to be careful with that to make sure that those employees are not overworked. But making sure that like when I've got team members going to multi locations, I am tracking it per location. I am tracking it per practice. When I've got regional managers separating out that regional manager salary amongst all the locations to make sure is this practical profitable? And if not, what are the underperformers? What are the root causes? How can I get this profitable? Can we do block scheduling in there? Can I work on my costs? I've got two practices right now and their rent is much higher in one location. Well, if I've got higher rent over there and higher costs, I have to produce more in that practice than I do. So I can't have the exact same block scheduling in both locations. I can still block schedule similarly, but I have to make sure that I'm hitting my correct overhead percentages and that each practice is profitable. We have separate credit cards for each location. So we're ordering on those separate credit cards. So it is per location. We have different bank accounts for each location. So the money's coming in so we can see what it is. And what's crazy is when offices actually do this, what they find is they're actually able to quickly identify what the root causes of that practice. They're able to bring it up to par. like one practice, they're losing money due to not having hygiene reappointments in there. So like the hygiene team is not as profitable as they should be. So we laser focus in on that. We fix the systems across the board, but we laser focus on the practice that's struggling. And we're actually able to boost them by 400,000 per year just by fixing that one small problem, because we're not looking at the organization as a whole. Yes, you do need to look at the organization as a whole. but you do need to like scope it down to how each practice is performing. And this should be weekly, monthly, quarterly to then assess how we're doing. ⁓ When people get into multi level DSOs, you better believe they're looking at their top performers and their lower performance. And a lot of times they cut those lower performing offices out because that's hurting their overall profitability of the business. So many offices have really high producing practices and they're dumping it to go save the other ones. Just like thinking about a real estate portfolio. they're looking and rebalancing those portfolios, but for you to rebalance it is to make sure you're tracking the profit per location and we're fixing the issues at the base root problem. ⁓ And so really what it should be is you should A, make sure you're running them individually, B, do a P &L by location and let's figure out where our gaps are within the finances to see how can I make each location profitable and set that as the target as the goal for your regional, for your office managers. This is the goal per location. I work with an office and we have six locations that we go to quarterly. And we are looking at their scorecards every single week, every single practice. And then we look collectively at the whole to make sure organization as a whole is profitable. Yes, when we started new and of course we're going to be dumping money into it. But the goal is for that new practice to be profitable. Six months to one year max is when they need to start breaking profit. And so when teams know this, when office managers know this, what happens is the whole portfolio actually does better and the businesses are running much more effectively, efficiently with better patient care, better team awareness all around. So that's miss number two, ⁓ gap number two. Miss number three is not having consistent accountability. So when you have it, oftentimes it's just this chaos. Like I said, like we're adding more fuel to a chaos burning fire. And so ⁓ when we have that there's no roles, there's no structured check-ins, there's... It just feels like hope and pray. And then we're trying to like get the profitability margins. We're trying to do all those pieces. So we've got to have cadences in there of weekly calls, having weekly scorecards and quarterly reviews. ⁓ And so when you have leaders at each location, what they do is they, get all office managers together on a weekly call. They look at the scorecards for their practices. They look cross company so they can look at all the other offices. So if I'm struggling with a profitability, but this office over here is doing really well. office managers sync up, let's have you two work together, let's have you see what you're doing differently. That way everybody's able to be profitable. So that really helps. And then you empower all the leaders to own their KPIs and report back. So they're owning their teams, they're owning their departments, they're owning the profitability of their practice. And then this way we're able to have metrics that are the same across all locations. So having a set scorecard that's used, when we do it within our company, we have practice A, practice B, practice C. Right now I've got an office I'm thinking of and practice A is super profitable and practice B is not. And they're just looking at it collectively as a whole versus saying, my gosh, we've got to get like practice B profitable. Practice B is not producing and it's not collecting what it should be. A lot of times also that profitability margin is hurting because we're not collecting. And so one practice is very much collecting, paying for the other practice, but it's just due to broken systems and not having that O-M responsible. And it's because we're spread across trying to be ⁓ efficient, which is true, but we have to have individualized centralized accountability frameworks in each location. So it reports up. People know who's ultimately responsible for that practice for the different pieces, rather than it being we're all responsible for everything. That means nothing is actually truly being tracked. So ⁓ when we've implemented these scorecards across practices, usually what you start to see is you see an increase in profitability, an increase in collections, an increase in case acceptance, because everybody's looking Like we're looking side to side, it's like Sudoku. I'm looking to see how am I comparing with my other practices and how can I get the support where I'm struggling? And then you also start to create cohesiveness as a unity. You start to create cross collaboration. And this is a huge, huge, huge mess in multi-practice ownership and even in bigger practices. So when you look at this and you have that weekly reporting rhythm, you have this weekly accountability, and then you start to empower your leaders to meet with their team members once a month. and then have quarterly cadences where we're looking to see how we're doing, you start to see teams rise up. Because now it's like, great, we know what the scoreboard is. We know what we're aiming for. know everybody knows what they're accountable for. There's no more of this confusion of what should we be doing or should my practice do this, but your practice doesn't. You try to get them as standardized as possible. And what I will tell you is working with multiple multi-practice owners, this is not a dream. This is a reality that you should be striving for and that you can do. I love to work with Mac. multi-practice owners because I love to take the chaos and turn it into simplicity. I love to help you see which like it's like a ball of yarn and you're like, my gosh, like pull this string or pull this string or pull that string. And like, we don't know how to untangle what we've created. And so doing these three misses of not having centralized operations. So making sure we're centralized across the board, making sure each practice is profitable and then having accountability across the board. When you streamline those across all your locations, instantly things get better. Scaling is not great when it's chaos. Scaling is great when it's tightened, when it's predictable, and when it's consistent. That's when it becomes fun. That's when it becomes fun to be multi-practice honored, but it is not fun when it is the chaos. And so when we do this, this is something that I'm obsessed with. This is something I love to help offices. This is where I love to help regional managers figure out how to do this because a lot of times they don't even know. They've never done it before. They've just been a great office manager and doing one baby versus five babies. We all know as parents and siblings and aunts and uncles, we know that one baby is a lot easier than five babies. However, five babies can actually be easier on certain levels when we have set standards and we have set processes and we have set things in place and we've got rhythms and we've got routines that actually sometimes can be easier than just one because it forces you to actually rise up. It forces you to be better than what you've been. And so with this, just know these are some of the three big gaps that we see in multi-practice ownership or large practice ownership. These are some of the areas that we really expert help. And hopefully for you to just have a quick like checklist of like, where am I doing on my standardized ops? How am I doing on profitability of each location? And how am I doing on accountability, KPI tracking, scorecard accountability, weekly check-ins, implementing just a few of these things will radically help you. But sometimes it's so hard to lift your head up out of the bubble when you're living in the bubble. And so if you're struggling with that, reach out. Like let's just have a conversation.

Taylor Scott is a hospitality lifer turned leadership coach who cut his teeth at Walt Disney World, led sales at Disney Vacation Club, and earned his MBA from Cornell's Hotel School. He's the author of Lead with Hospitality and the leadership fable Give Hospitality, translating world-class service principles into practical playbooks for teams. Susan and Taylor talk about connection, culture, and coaching. What You'll Learn About: • Why "don't reply to everything" is terrible leadership advice. • How sales and leadership mirror each other: build trust fast, influence behavior faster. • The Connect–Serve–Engage–Inspire framework you can run on a busy lobby shift. • LEAD as a service checklist: Listen, Educate, Act, Deliver. • The mindset shift from SOP security blanket to entrepreneurial trial-and-error. • Grad school's real ROI: "building shelves" in your brain + a global network. • How to lead high achievers with the 3 C's: Choice, Competence, Community. • "Guest first, team always" and "Purpose over policy" as decision filters. • Turning fear-based flailing (hello, mushroom panic) into guest-centered choices. • Why the next leadership frontier is re-teaching human connection in an AI world. Our Top Three Takeaways 1. Leadership and Sales Share the Same Core: Connection and Influence Taylor makes the case that sales is leadership, and leadership is sales. In both roles, success depends on making people trust and like you quickly, then inspiring them to take action. His "Lead with Hospitality" framework — Connect, Serve, Engage, Inspire — provides a clear path for achieving this in daily operations: connect with people on a human level, serve them first, engage with generosity and purpose, and inspire them through storytelling and authenticity. 2. The Best Leaders Create Environments for Motivation Drawing from the self-determination theory, Taylor explains that people become self-motivated when they experience choice, competence, and community — his "three C's." High achievers, in particular, thrive when leaders give them autonomy, recognize their expertise, and foster a sense of belonging. Leadership isn't about control; it's about designing the conditions where people can thrive. 3. Purpose Over Policy: Leading with Humanity From his experiences at Disney and Cosmopolitan, Taylor emphasizes two enduring leadership mantras: "Guest first, team always" and "Purpose over policy." Great leaders prioritize people and purpose over rigid rules, empowering teams to make guest-centered decisions. As hospitality evolves with AI and generational change, Taylor predicts the next frontier of leadership will be relearning how to connect on a human level — teaching empathy, conversation, and connection in an increasingly digital world.

Want a playbook for turning slow seasons into growth? We sit down with Tony from Villa Property Inspections to map out practical ways inspectors expand beyond a standard SOP without losing credibility or crossing ethical lines. From balcony inspection mandates in California to ADA accessibility assessments and commercial proposal tactics, Tony breaks down how the right credentials open doors—and how to present them so clients stop haggling and start booking.We dig into why maintaining a contractor's license or earning ICC certifications can change your posture in any room, especially with engineers and commercial brokers. You'll hear how a formal proposal—cover, scope, methodology, resume, qualifications, and then price—can “topple the fraction” of buyer expectations and borrow trust from respected organizations. We also tackle the fear of liability head-on, outlining how insurance, clear scope, and rigorous documentation keep risk in check while you expand into mold, balcony, or specialty inspections.For inspectors squeezed by stagnant pricing, we outline a path to higher margins and better exit value: recurring maintenance plans. Think filters, gutters, caulking, dryer vents, vegetation trimming—simple tasks that create ARR and MRR while staying clear of transaction conflicts. Add in regional services like wildfire home hardening backed by NFPA-aligned training, and you've got a diversified, resilient business that wins in any cycle. If you're ready to build beyond the SOP, stack value, and turn credibility into contracts, this conversation shows you where to start and how to scale.Enjoyed the show?

Five-Star Clinic: Lessons from High-End Restaurants In this episode, Doc Danny Matta unpacks what elite restaurants do differently—then maps those exact moves to cash-based PT. From the reservation experience to ambiance, “the menu,” service, and checkout, learn how details create premium value, command higher rates, and generate more referrals. Quick Ask Help us reach our mission of adding $1B in cash-based services to physical therapy: share this episode with a clinician friend or post it to your Instagram stories and tag @dannymattaPT so he can reshare! Episode Summary Reservation experience → Pre-visit touch: Don't rely on generic confirmations. Call/text with directions, parking, “what to expect,” and a 1–2 day pre-visit email from the actual provider. Ambiance → Your space: Design matters. Lighting, smell, layout, materials, music, branding—create an intentional feel your ideal patient loves (and wants to refer into). Menu → Productized services: Name and package outcomes (e.g., “Pain-Free Performance Plan,” “Athlete Optimization”). Present options with a clean pricing sheet and a confident recommendation. Service → Clinical excellence + standards: Providers are your brand. Hold the standard on punctuality, communication, dress, outcomes, and EQ. Coach up or move on. Checkout → Frictionless finish + surprise & delight: Card on file, painless renewals, small “day-one” gifts (e.g., mobility tools), and handwritten thank-you notes. Premium perception: Details separate you from commodity clinics, justify higher prices, improve hiring/retention, and grow word-of-mouth. Lessons & Takeaways Details are the brand: Senses and systems create perceived value before treatment starts. Curate the offer: Productize services and tie them to outcomes—not visit counts. Own the recommendation: Be definitive with prognosis and plan; don't talk patients out of yes. Invest in the room: Space design is a growth investment, not a cost center. Mindset & Motivation The standard is the standard: High-performing teams protect the bar—and A-players expect it. Experience > price: When the experience is elite, price sensitivity drops. Steal like an operator: Study elite brands (restaurants, retail, studios) and adapt their best ideas. Pro Tips for Owners Pre-visit provider email: 2 days before, introduce yourself, set expectations, share a clinic video. Design the senses: Lighting plan, signature scent, music policy, brand palette, signage. Pricing sheet = menu: Clean layout, outcome-named plans, clear primary recommendation. Frictionless billing: Card on file, pay-in-full or monthly plan, one-tap renewals. Wow moment: Day-one useful gift (e.g., mobility balls) bundled into care—don't nickel & dime. Notable Quotes “In world-class restaurants the details are the experience. Your clinic is no different.” “Your pricing sheet is your menu—curate it, name it, and recommend with confidence.” “Patients buy outcomes and experience, not minutes on a table.” Action Items Write a pre-visit SOP: admin call + provider intro email + directions/parking. Audit your space for lighting, scent, music, and signage—fix one item this week. Rename and package your top 2–3 offers into outcome-based plans. Implement card on file and simplify renewals. Buy day-one gifts for all new plans of care and add handwritten thank-you cards.

Speed to Lead: The $30K Mistake Killing Your Clinic Growth In this episode, Doc Danny Matta breaks down one of the most overlooked profit leaks in cash-based practice ownership — slow lead follow-up. Learn how the average clinic loses tens of thousands each month from poor contact speed, and discover a simple system to fix it fast. Quick Ask Help us hit our mission of adding $1B in cash-based services to physical therapy. Share this episode with a clinician friend or post it on your Instagram stories — tag @dannymattaPT so he can reshare it! Episode Summary Big picture: Most clinics lose $30K+ per month from slow follow-up and poor lead management. The data gap: The average healthcare clinic takes 2 hours and 5 minutes to respond to a lead — consumers expect 10–15 minutes. Industry average: Only 11% of people who fill out a healthcare form ever become patients. 100x advantage: Responding within 5 minutes increases your chance of conversion by 100 times. The math: Raising your contact-to-eval rate from 40% to 70% could add $30,000/month in revenue — no new ads, no new spend. Lessons & Takeaways Track everything: If you don't measure conversion from contact to eval, you're flying blind. Speed to lead: Reach out within 5–15 minutes when someone submits a form or books a call. Multi-touch follow-up: Use 5–7 touch points (calls, texts, emails) in the first 1–2 weeks. Auto + human combo: Use automated confirmations plus manual outreach to maximize connection. Text wins: Consumers are far more likely to reply to a text than a voicemail. Mindset & Motivation Serve, don't sell: Follow-up isn't pestering — it's helping people make the change they already want. Fix the leak first: Don't spend more on marketing until your conversion system works. Track the funnel: Know your contact requests, booked calls, evals, and follow-ups weekly. Pro Tips for Owners Set notifications: When a new form is submitted, get instant alerts via Slack or text. Train your admin: Give them scripts for fast responses and early scheduling. Layer automation: Confirm appointments automatically via text + email. Segment leads: Prioritize same-day outreach for hot leads; move cold leads to your newsletter. Systemize: Build a “speed to lead” SOP — who calls, who texts, and when. Notable Quotes “If you can respond within five minutes, it increases the likelihood they'll become a client by 100 times.” “Fortune is in the follow-up — and most clinics aren't following up at all.” “Nobody wants PT; they want the freedom PT gives them. Help them get it by being responsive.” Action Items Audit your lead-to-eval conversion rate. Implement instant text + email confirmation for all form submissions. Create a 5–7 touchpoint follow-up plan over two weeks. Assign ownership: Who calls, who texts, and how soon? Review results monthly — aim for 70% contact-to-eval conversion.
