Send us a textReady to grow post-frame without drowning in delays, backorders, and blown quotes? We sit down with Josh Nowlin—former crew hand turned executive leader at Burrows and current NFBA vice president—to map out a cleaner way to sell, schedule, and actually finish buildings on time. The conversation is blunt and practical: sales volume doesn't matter if installer capacity and material logistics aren't locked. Josh breaks down why the builder shortage persists and how NFBA's new curriculum brings post-frame into trade programs so more young pros discover a lucrative path with real ownership potential.From there, we dig into the supply chain that lets a small shop act big. Burrows' one-call model ties customer-facing 3D with IdeaRoom to precise estimating in SmartBuild, then delivers complete, staged packages to the jobsite—one PO, one invoice, one rep. That saves hours of chasing parts and protects your margins when steel and lumber move. We get tactical about pricing too: ditch flat dollars-per-square-foot and quote scope properly—Wainscot, insulation, wall height, door packages, and interior framing should be modeled, not guessed. With a customized SmartBuild setup, you can include labor logic, quote turnkey, and hand projects to crews without drama.If you're selling sheds or steel and eyeing post-frame for 2026, this is your blueprint. Join NFBA for education, certifications, and the network that speeds everything up. And meet us in Oklahoma City: Josh previews the NFBA Expo, including a must-hear economic keynote to help you plan the year with data, not vibes. We're sharing the tool stack, the supplier playbook, and the training path we wish we had on day one—so you can sell with confidence and get buildings out of the ground.If this helped you, follow the show, share it with a builder who needs a better plan, and leave a quick review so more pros can find it.For more information or to know more about the Shed Geek Podcast visit us at our website.Would you like to receive our weekly newsletter?  Sign up here.Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube at the handle @shedgeekpodcast.To be a guest on the Shed Geek Podcast visit our website and fill out the "Contact Us" form.To suggest show topics or ask questions you want answered email us at info@shedgeek.com.This episodes Sponsors:Studio Sponsor: J Money LLC

Step into Episode 195 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Chris Nelson, founder of Nelson's Meat + Fish, for an intimate conversation about the ocean, sobriety, and what it really takes to build a specialty food market that refuses to cut corners. From growing up on the Connecticut coast and falling in love with the water to navigating decades in hospitality while battling addiction, Chris opens up about the mentors, mistakes, and moments that shaped both his recovery and his business philosophy. If you're in hospitality, love high-quality food, or are building something that requires patience and integrity, this episode delivers real-world wisdom you can use right now.Hear how Chris went from pot scrubber at a Virginia bed-and-breakfast to opening two Arizona locations that source day-boat scallops from Nantucket, Faroe Island salmon, and Family Roots Wagyu from Eloy—all while working with a team that's been with him for years and treating every guest interaction like family. He breaks down why Nelson's isn't a restaurant, how to shop like you're at a farmer's market, the importance of air-chilling seafood at home, and why Americans need to start eating more underrated fish like bluefish, pollock, and mackerel. The conversation also dives into Chris's 13 years of sobriety, meeting his wife Danielle at the one-year mark, and how the discipline of recovery translates directly into the discipline of running a business built on relationships, not transactions.You'll also get the story behind the Nelly Slaw, how Nelson's landed exclusive Pocomo Meadow oysters from Nantucket, and why Chris never wants to own a restaurant again. From mentorship and music (Metallica, Depeche Mode, and punk rock) to the spiritual connection he feels with the ocean, Chris's journey is a testament to how passion, presence, and purpose can turn a love of food into a thriving community hub. Whether you're a chef, home cook, entrepreneur, or someone navigating your own recovery, this episode is packed with honest, relatable insight that goes far beyond fish and meat.Chapter Guide: Timestamps0:00 – 2:08 – Episode 195 Intro, Built Different Community, and Meeting Chris Nelson2:09 – 5:04 – The Power of Relationship, Connection, and Real Service in Business5:05 – 11:49 – Meet the Team: Phoenix and Scottsdale Staff Who Make Nelson's Special11:50 – 16:16 – Nelly Slaw Origin Story, Mentorship from Ann Cashin, and Austin Grill Days16:17 – 20:55 – Chris's Origin Story: Connecticut Coast, Miami, Northern Virginia, and First Taste of Hospitality20:56 – 23:27 – University of Florida, Finding His Tribe, and the Importance of Friendship23:28 – 30:02 – Meeting Danielle: A Chance Dinner in Arizona and 13 Years Together30:03 – 34:44 – Sobriety Journey: Owning It, Feeling Everything, and the Blessing of Recovery34:45 – 39:09 – The Nelson's Customer Experience: Shop Like a Farmer's Market, Not a Grocery Store39:10 – 46:45 – Chasing Seasonality: Nantucket Scallops, Hawaiian Auction, and Day-Boat Quality46:46 – 50:15 – Family Roots Farms Wagyu, Bagelfeld's Bagels, and Working with Local Diamonds50:16 – 53:05 – Food Memories, Claudio's Olive Oil Lesson, and Eating Simple, Good Things53:06 – 55:17 – Fresh Forecast Email, No Pre-Orders, and How to Stay Connected with Nelson's55:18 – 58:50 – Rapid Fire: Salmon vs. Tuna, Metallica, Depeche Mode, East Coast vs. Desert Sunsets58:51 – 1:00:10 – Most Underrated Fish (Bluefish!), Closing Gratitude, and Supporting LocalIf this conversation about the ocean, recovery, and building a business with integrity resonated with you, hit Subscribe for more deep dives on hospitality, food, and real-life resilience. Drop a comment with your biggest takeaway, and share this episode with someone who loves great food or is navigating their own journey of sobriety and entrepreneurship.

From the wheel to the iPhone, every generation has declared "we live in amazing times." And they were right. But here's what most sellers miss: the advantage was never the technology itself. It was recognizing when the game changed.   In this Coaches Corner, Brian introduces a concept that reframes everything: constraint migration. The bottleneck that defined your business last year? It's already been solved. The grind that made you successful? It's now holding you back.   Brian and Robin Joy unpack why "sourcing is solved," what the new constraint actually is, and a quote from futurist Alvin Toffler that explains why some sellers will thrive while others get left behind. Hint: it has nothing to do with reading and writing.   If you're working harder but not getting further, this episode tells you exactly why. And what to do instead.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What is the inform act and how scary is it?

Procurement is experiencing a significant shift as organizations increasingly adopt automation and artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance sourcing, purchasing, and spend management processes. Kevin Frechette, CEO and co-founder of Fairmarkit, discusses how their platform enables enterprises to transition from manual procurement methods to AI-driven autonomous sourcing. This shift allows procurement teams to handle up to ten times more sourcing events per buyer and potentially save $40,000 weekly per full-time employee (FTE) by streamlining operations and reducing the time spent on repetitive tasks.Frechette highlights a case study involving a Boston-based customer that reduced the time required to clarify requests and set up sourcing events from 40 minutes to just 2 minutes through Fairmarkit's automation capabilities. The platform employs AI to facilitate various stages of the sourcing process, including demand capture, supplier identification, and event awarding. However, Frechette emphasizes the importance of maintaining human oversight in certain areas, particularly where nuanced decision-making is required, ensuring that AI complements rather than completely replaces human judgment.The conversation also touches on the evolving role of procurement professionals in the face of automation. While some experienced workers may resist change, Frechette notes that younger professionals are often more adaptable and eager to embrace new technologies. This generational shift could lead to a more innovative approach to procurement, as new entrants to the field leverage AI tools to enhance their decision-making capabilities and drive efficiency.For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT service leaders, the implications of these developments are clear. Embracing AI and automation in procurement can lead to significant operational efficiencies and cost savings. However, it is crucial for organizations to establish a framework for human involvement in decision-making processes, ensuring that the benefits of AI are maximized while maintaining accountability and oversight. As the landscape of procurement continues to evolve, staying informed and adaptable will be essential for MSPs and IT providers looking to remain competitive.

In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy unpack why sourcing is no longer the hard part of building an Amazon business. Matching ASINs has become easy, but knowing what will actually work only shows up once products are tested in the live marketplace.   They explain why Keepa tells only part of the story, how the buy box behaves differently across locations and timing, and why sellers often panic and lower prices when nothing is truly broken.   They also zoom out to the bigger picture. ASINs are not the asset, systems are. The first twelve weeks are meant to feel messy, even when progress is happening. And the sellers who last are the ones who build repeatable testing and decision processes instead of chasing certainty or perfect data.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "If I don't have Jeff's team on retainer, can they still help me?

Sausages, bacon, crackling – good pork can be heavenly food. But both of us know that, sometimes, in the ancestral food world, pork is viewed as the poorer cousin to grass-fed beef or pastured chicken.

We'll give you some fascinating history bites, we'll talk about how the Industrial Revolution changed mainstream pigs, and we will lay out how buying real, pastured, pork is a positive, health-giving and delicious choice for you and those you love.

Today, we are thrilled to welcome another entrepreneur from our industry. Nataly Horan is the founder and CEO of Authentic Meetings and Incentives. With experience across several ventures, she joins us to share her journey, the challenges she has faced within the industry, and her hopes and dreams for what lies ahead. Nataly's Journey Nataly entered the meetings and incentives industry quite unexpectedly. She trained as an interior designer at the University of Florida, then moved into the space after helping with graphic design, quickly connecting with the people and energy of live events. She eventually stepped away from interior design, moving entirely into conference planning and developing a unique perspective by working closely with both suppliers and buyers. Building Authentic Meetings and Incentives Authentic Meetings and Incentives focuses on sourcing and supplier visibility. Nataly supports planners with cruise and venue sourcing while helping suppliers, particularly cruise lines, reach North American planners through social media and email. Her growing online presence bridges the gap between limited in-person events and complete year-round visibility. Choosing Entrepreneurship Nataly reached a point where her growth within someone else's company felt capped. Buyers were already coming to her for sourcing support, making the transition to her own business a natural step rather than a risky leap. Early Focus and Mindset In the early months, Nataly avoided long-term pressure by setting short-term, achievable goals. Focusing on weekly progress kept the business manageable and prevented overwhelm. Vision and Personal Goals Rather than focusing on rigid industry forecasts, Nataly prioritizes her personal goals, such as living in Italy and potentially pursuing a full-time career as an artist. With AI rapidly transforming the industry, staying adaptable is more important for her than long-term predictions. LinkedIn Nataly built her LinkedIn following organically by sharing what she was learning as a newcomer. Her honest, behind-the-scenes insights resonated, turning LinkedIn into a powerful marketing tool with strong ROI. Sourcing, Relationships, and Cruises Nataly's sourcing work emphasizes fit, reliability, and simplicity, particularly through cruise programs and charters. Nataly explains that in-person relationships remain critical for large-group events, where trust and quick problem-solving can make or break the experience. AI, Delegation, and Sustainability Nataly strongly believes in delegation, using a virtual assistant and systems like Canva to scale sustainably while avoiding burnout. AI acts as an assistant, streamlining RFPs and marketing content without replacing human judgment. Creativity Beyond Business Alongside running her company and raising two children, Nataly enjoys painting. Her personal goal for the year is to exhibit her art in a gallery, something she values as much as professional success. Bio: Nataly Horan Nataly Horan leads AUTHENTIC Meetings & Incentives® as its Founder and CEO, steering cruise lines and destinations toward the audiences that shape the North American MICE market. Her background from the University of Florida and her work across sourcing and brand storytelling inform AUTHENTIC's signature point of view, seen in series such as MICE Bites® and In Good Company. She also serves as Vice President of SITE Florida & Caribbean. Away from the office, Nataly is a visual artist, creating work that echoes the themes she champions in travel: intention, culture, and human connection.

Data as a Product: Was steckt dahinter?Warum ist AI überall, aber der Weg von der Datenbank zu "Wow, das Modell kann das" wirkt oft wie ein schwarzes Loch? Du loggst brav Events, die Daten landen in irgendwelchen Silos, und trotzdem bleibt die entscheidende Frage offen: Wer sorgt eigentlich dafür, dass aus Rohdaten ein zuverlässiges, verkaufbares Datenprodukt wird.In dieser Episode machen wir genau dort das Licht an. Gemeinsam mit Mario Müller, Director of Data Engineering bei Veeva Systems, schauen wir uns an, was Datenteams wirklich sind, wie "Data as a Product" in der Praxis funktioniert und warum Data Engineering mehr ist als nur ein paar CSVs über FTP zu schubsen. Wir sprechen über Teamstrukturen von der One-Man-Show bis zur cross-functional Squad, über Ownership auf den Daten, Data Governance und darüber, wie du Datenqualität wirklich misst, inklusive Monitoring, Alerts, SQL-Regeln und menschlicher Quality Control.Dazu gibt es eine ordentliche Portion Tech: Spark, AWS S3 als primärer Speicher, Delta Lake, Athena, Glue, Airflow, Push-Pull statt Event-Overkill und die Entscheidung für Batch Processing, obwohl alle Welt nach Streaming ruft.Und natürlich klären wir auch, was passiert, wenn KI an den Daten rumfummelt: Wo AI beim Bootstrapping hilft, warum Production und Scale tricky werden und wieso Verantwortlichkeit beim Commit nicht von einem LLM übernommen wird.Wenn du Datenteams aufbauen willst, Data Products liefern musst oder einfach verstehen willst, wie aus Daten verlässlicher Business-Impact wird, bist du hier genau richtig.Bonus: Batchjobs bekommen heute mal ein kleines Comeback.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

Everyone wants to stay active and pain-free, but most people are only shown one path when their body starts breaking down. Manage symptoms or get surgery.Dr. Jeff Gross's story challenges that assumption. After years as a board-certified neurosurgeon working inside an insurance-driven sick care system, he grew frustrated watching patients pushed toward invasive procedures they did not always need. That frustration eventually led him out of the operating room and into regenerative medicine.In this conversation, we break down how non-invasive treatments like stem cells and exosomes actually work, why they are often misunderstood, and how they support the body's own repair process instead of chasing short-term relief. Dr. Gross explains why exosomes drive repair, why targeting the bone matters for cartilage health, and why sleep, protein, and lifestyle habits play a role in recovery.If you are dealing with joint pain, disc issues, or declining mobility and want to avoid unnecessary surgery, this episode offers a smarter framework for long-term recovery and staying active.

If you've spent any time in European venture lately, you've probably noticed two things:Everyone says they “do AI now.”Almost nobody wants to touch consumer.That's exactly where Michael Sackler and Supernode Global are leaning in.Michael started his career not in venture, but in film. He founded and ran Rook's Nest Entertainment in London, producing and executive producing 12 feature films, including cult horror hit “The Witch”, which still makes the rounds every Halloween.As the streamers rose in the early 2010s, he watched technology companies steamroll the media value chain. At the same time, he began angel investing around the edges of content and tech. It didn't take long before it was obvious where the real leverage was.Today, Michael runs Supernode Global, an early-stage fund focused on application-layer software that people use every day at home and at work. Fund I proved out the model. Fund II is where it scales.This episode is essentially Michael's Fund II pitch and it's a good one.Here's what's covered:02:40 | Fund I → Fund II — expanding from “content + tech” to technologies that enhance daily personal and professional life03:55 | The thesis shift — six themes across wellbeing, productivity, vitality, life-ops, community, and creative/pro-work augmentation05:27 | The unifying thread — application-layer software + UI/UX obsession (consumer-grade experiences applied to enterprise)07:50 | Fund II in motion — 13 companies already deployed and why the portfolio itself tells the story10:36 | Sourcing edge — 50/50 inbound/outbound, a gender-balanced team, and why that drives deal flow from overlooked founders12:57 | Speed as a superpower — winning competitive deals through fast conviction, aggressive execution, and deep consumer focus14:42 | Value add in practice — growth support, fundraising pathways, and SuperNode's “connector” identity (with a shoutout to Naomi)15:33 | 34% GP commit — why Michael and Gina put unusually large personal capital into the fund (and what it signals to LPs)18:51 | The AI elephant — where AI enhances work vs. where it risks erasing human craft (with the Graswold example)21:56 | Human creativity vs. automation — why AI will reshape the menial, not the art, and why stories still anchor value23:32 | AI art, authenticity & meaning — when fully AI-generated output loses emotional value, and where hybrid human–AI creation wins

Your liver processes over 500 tasks every single day, breaking down hormones, emotions, toxins, and stress, but most people never give it the support it needs. In this episode, I sit down with Chelsea Gaul, a natural health practitioner and co-founder of InnerBrew Coffee, to discuss why coffee enemas should be part of your wellness routine.  Beyond being another detox mechanism, coffee enemas are powerful tools for clearing brain fog and releasing stored anger. Chelsea and I talk about the mechanism behind coffee enemas and how they stimulate bile release, why traditional Chinese medicine views the liver as the body's anger center, and how frequency-imprinted coffee can enhance detoxification.  Chelsea explains why pregnant women, people taking GLP-1 medications, and those struggling with constipation, nausea, or fatty liver disease should consider this therapy. She shares practical tips for beginners and explains why the emotional release that happens during a coffee enema is just as important as the physical detox.   "If your body is vibrating at a higher level, the parasite quite literally does not need to feed off you anymore. It will just leave." ~ Chelsea Gaul   In This Episode: - Why coffee enemas are a game-changer for detox - The mechanism of coffee enemas and bile release - Relieving detox symptoms with coffee enemas - Coffee enemas for anxiety, depression, and brain fog - How coffee enemas help treat liver issues - Frequency-imprinted coffee and plant integrity for efficacy - Sourcing high-quality coffee from Papua New Guinea - How coffee enemas cured Chelsea's daughter of PMS - Constipation relief and digestive benefits of coffee enemas - Relieving nausea and constipation with coffee enemas - Coffee vs. water enemas and chamomile alternatives   Products & Resources Mentioned: InnerBrew Coffee: Available in one-pound, two-pound, and five-pound options with educational videos on their website.

Kris is a professional FBA seller, a podcast host and an account executive at Sellozo. Kris has always been entrepreneurial and enjoyed the thrill of selling items, from selling items at garage sales as a kid to mowing yards and then selling clothes on eBay. Kris learned how to sell physical products on Amazon in 2013, starting out by selling things around the house. He learned the basics of retail arbitrage and started sourcing his own products. Kris launched his first product in 2014 after watching YouTube videos and listening to podcasts. Currently, Kris has four brands and enjoys helping other sellers on Amazon. Kris hosts a podcast with Dustin, another seller, where they talk about industry leaders and other sellers. So welcome to the podcast today, Kris.Kris 00:00:52  That's quite the intro there. Josh. That's pretty good. I'm gonna have to take a couple notes there and kind of implement those on our own podcast. That was really good.Josh 00:01:00  Hey. Well, you have, you have a good bio yourself.Josh 00:01:03  I think that's that's why it sounds so good to you. So I want to dive in a little bit more with, how you're building that audience with insert cards. You know, we do the same thing with our brand. I don't know that I necessarily see that as, like, overly gray. I mean, you look at like a box of, you know, grab some Clorox wipes. Right. What's on the product label for Clorox wipes? it's the P&G website. Right. So like and they have like a, you know, they're not saying like, hey, come register your warranty per se, but like they have links to their social media, right? They have their icons, they have their website on there. So like I don't think people need to be as scared about that. Right. But what are you seeing working really well when it comes to product inserts?Kris 00:01:49  Well if anything good out of Covid came, it's that people were more adapted to QR codes. So people like start to they know what that is now.Kris 00:02:00  And so QR code like that just not people realize, oh I can scan that. So a QR code insert that is has some type of messaging messaging like so thank you. you know, get your free gift. there's, there's things that, that I'm doing now where, somebody scans it, they go to a landing page. in that landing page, they give name, email address, order ID number, and that just kind of verifies that the order matches with Amazon order. So we're not just getting spammed for free gift. Yeah. And they scan it and we just give a free gift out. And, all they got to do is provide us with their name and their email address. we're think about adding their mailing address there, just to kind of have that for like a backup plan to do postcards. I get a random side note here, but I bought something Amazon like literally 60 days later, I got a gift. Like a postcard in the mail. Really? How'd this? How'd this guy know to send me this postcard for another item? So, like, reverse engineering? That's kind of fun for me.Kris 00:03:07  So I'm trying to figure that out, but, Yeah, the insert scan, QR code landing page. Basic information. No first name, last name, email address, and then the order ID. we're using a tool called, It's going away from me. Zapier or Zapier, however you want to pronounce. Okay, that that, links up order IDs so that, when they type in your ID, it matches correctly with the order ID inside your account. and then from there, we send them a free sample and the free sample. You know, it's just something to, like, get them to engage with us, maybe try another product that we're thinking about launching down the road. it also just allows them to, like, feel warm and fuzzy. So maybe that when that review request does come and that that review request is done by Amazon, we're not sending any more like, hey, give us a five star review. We're just leaving it more like providing value. And whenever they get something from Amazon that says, how would you rate your experience with so-and-so brand? Maybe they think, hey, that was a good brand.Kris 00:04:06  I'll leave a five star review, so we're leaving that alone.Josh 00:04:09  So you're not even touching reviews. You're not.Kris 00:04:11  Even to touch.Josh 00:04:12  It. Yep.Kris 00:04:13  Yeah. Just leaving like just value.Josh 00:04:15  Yeah. I agree 100% with the, you know, not even touching reviews. We we've made the same decision because we have opt in flows and all of that. And everybody's like why don't you ask for a review? And it's like, I'm not even touching it with a ten foot pole.Kris 00:04:28  Because not anymore.Josh 00:04:29  That's that's the one thing that like is if Amazo...

For its 95th annual convention, one Wisconsin organization decided to transform the standard hotel meal into a direct investment in its own membership. By partnering with Chula Vista Resort and several regional food hubs, the event successfully sourced 70 local ingredients, ranging from storage crops like garlic and potatoes to proteins and dairy, from 40 farmer members. With the products, staff fed 280 attendees seven meals each. The initiative wasn’t just about the menu. It was about honoring the farmers in the room, says Layne Cozzolino, director of special projects.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

HSBC Innovations is the global bank's financing arm for American and European startups, especially in the healthcare and life sciences industries. The bank's semi-annual Venture Healthcare Reports document trends in the investment market.Key Tech's Andy Rogers welcomes the report's author, HSBC Innovation Managing Director Jon Norris in Episode 43 of the MedTech Speed to Data podcast.Need to know·       Four core market segments — HSBC Innovation's Venture Healthcare Reports cover investments and exits in Biopharma, Dx/Tools, Med Device, and Healthtech.·       Sourcing investment data — Norris enriches Pitchbook data with additional structure and analyses, making the report more relevant to these market segments.·       Sourcing exit data — Norris supplements media and industry publications with market research and conversations with industry leaders.·       An investment data tapestry — The reports provide “an honest picture of what's going on in the market” so investors and innovators alike “can make targeted smart decisions.”The nitty-grittyAndy and Norris discuss the investment market's recent history before exploring drivers of today's investment headwinds.“2021 was a record-setting year,” Norris recalls. “Every record that could be set for deals and dollars was set across all the sectors.” Things changed in 2022 as new BioTech IPOs struggled, prompting investment reprioritizations.“VCs had done all these… frothy valuations,” Norris says. “They had to go back and look at their own portfolios and say, does this company have enough capital? How do you want to put money to work?”Investments rebounded in 2024, but not the number of deals. Investors poured money into their existing portfolios to boost their exit chances, resulting in today's nine-figure megadeals.“Basically, they're smooshing two rounds together and extending the investors coming in to support that round,” Norris says.Headwinds stiffened in 2025 as tariffs, a more litigious competitive space, and other factors amplified business uncertainty.Norris attributes this progression to the psychology of venture capital. “When you think about what makes these folks tick,” Norris explains, “they want to continue to raise new venture funds because they get paid management fees. But in order to raise their new venture funds, they have to show their investors that they've actually gotten returns.”That means reaching an acquisition or IPO. “They're very focused on getting to exit right now. That's why they're so focused on their existing portfolio. And because of that, they haven't been doing as many new investments.”New investments still happen, of course, but the criteria have changed. “While the dollars are actually up in some of these sectors, especially Med Device,” Norris says, “you're seeing that being put to work on later-stage deals because they'd rather get a shorter time to exit.”Data that made the difference:Norris' insights from the HSBC Venture Healthcare Report let him advise startups fighting today's investment headwinds.Adopt a megaround mentality. “Series B has been extremely difficult,” Norris says. “[Raising] sub two million, that's one thing. But if you're looking to raise five million, it's almost better to raise twelve.”Find investors outside the mainstream. “Traditional venture investors don't want to write small checks.” Norris sees angel groups, innovation centers, and other small investors funding these early rounds.Explore acquisition exits, but be careful. “On the device side, most of the corporates have been pretty darn active,” Norris says. However, some litigate to block emerging competition, especially in the Dx/Tools sector. Norris' recommends researching potential acquirers before taking meetings.Download the HSBC Venture Healthcare Report for Norris' complete analysis, and watch the video below for insights into the Medical Device and Dx/Tools sectors, AI's role in MedTech, and more.

When host of The Valley Today, Janet Michael steps into Winchester Medical Center, she's greeted not only by a freshly rearranged office but by the unwavering enthusiasm of Chris Rucker, Chief Administrative Officer for Valley Health. Their lively conversation reveals what it takes to maintain a thriving healthcare workforce — especially in a profession where stress is high, expectations are higher, and compassion is non-negotiable. Award-Winning Employee Experience Valley Health has earned multiple national recognitions this year — including Forbes rankings for top healthcare employers and best-in-state workplaces. What makes those honors especially meaningful, Chris explains, is that the organization doesn't apply for them. Independent research firms survey employees directly, asking what it's really like to work there. The positive feedback validates Valley Health's commitment to its people — and reassures patients that they're being cared for by professionals who love where they work. Healthcare Takes a Village Chris passionately reminds Janet that everyone inside the Valley Health system is a caregiver — even those nowhere near an exam room. Construction crews repairing walls overnight. Environmental services teams polishing hallways while patients sleep. Security, valets, administrative staff, and tech support. With 6,200 employees across the region, the health system represents nearly every job imaginable — and each one contributes to patient well-being, comfort, and confidence. Taking Care of the People Who Care for Us Healthcare is one of the toughest professions — physically, emotionally, and mentally. So Valley Health invests intentionally in appreciation, recognition, and family support. From employee-of-the-month celebrations to family fun days with pumpkins and bounce houses, the system creates gathering spaces where relationships can grow outside clinical stress. And then there's the Turkey tradition. Every November, team members drive through with their families to receive a Thanksgiving turkey — a small perk with a big message. "It's about family," Chris says — acknowledging that work schedule disruptions affect entire households. In fact, CEO Mark Nantz has even worn a full turkey costume during past events, although one patient in the parking lot once thought he was a duck. Retention Through Relationships, Not Just Raises Janet notes that today's workforce isn't swayed by an extra dollar — they stay where they feel valued. Chris agrees, especially when speaking about younger staff, who are eager for: Skill development Career pathways Mentorship Advancement opportunities That is why Valley Health prioritizes education support, cross-training, and leadership development. "Thinking about what each individual employee type wants is part of what makes us a great employer," Chris explains. When "Not Feeling Safe" Is the Real Threat The darker side of healthcare? Abuse of providers. Chris shares that assaults, threats, and intimidation toward staff occur daily. It's an emotional blow to caregivers dedicated to helping others. Their "zero-tolerance" policy protects employees — and preserves a healthy workplace culture. Healthcare, he says, is a calling, but it shouldn't come with bruises. Hiring With Heart — and Strategy Valley Health is always recruiting — roughly 100 to 120 new hires a month — but staffing isn't just about filling shifts. It's about deliberately preparing for the community's future. Using a physician-needs assessment every three years, they analyze population changes, disease trends, service gaps, and resource sustainability.  That is precisely how new specialties enter the region, like Dr. Trimble Spitzer's fertility practice, which Chris says fills a long-standing gap in local care. Sourcing talent is also about making sure physicians — and their families — feel at home. Whether someone needs equestrian facilities for their child, a nearby mosque, or Croatian-speaking neighbors for aging parents — Valley Health handles those details, too. Safe Care, Advanced Tools For employees and patients alike, one foundational promise guides everything: "Valley Health only provides safe healthcare." To keep that promise, the system invests in the latest medical technologies — from robotic surgical systems to highly specialized imaging — ensuring that physicians can practice at the top of their license and patients receive the best possible outcomes. A Place You Want to Be — On Both Sides of the Bedrail Chris beams when he talks about the community. He raised his children here. He sees people move to the Valley specifically to work for the health system. And he loves looking out at new-employee orientation to find team members eager to serve. Because when someone lands in a hospital bed — often on one of the worst days of their life — the little things matter like a warm greeting, clear communication, timely updates, and a feeling of being seen. Patients may not understand clinical complexity — but they always remember how they were treated. There's a Role for Everyone You don't need a medical degree to be part of healthcare. High school diploma? Associate's degree? Master's? There is a Valley Health career for you. Interested listeners can visit https://www.valleyhealthlink.com/careers/ to explore openings. With hundreds of new roles coming in the next year, the door is wide open. A Culture Where Caregivers Feel Cared For As the conversation wraps, Janet thanks Chris for his insight — and he answers with the warmth of a leader who genuinely loves his team. From award-winning recognition to turkey suit laughter, Valley Health proves that exceptional patient care begins with exceptional people care.

They provide insights on fund development, non-traded REITs, emerging opportunities in private wealth markets and more.Key takeaways on raising and deploying capital: Sourcing real estate capital is diversifying, with growing emphasis on private wealth and new opportunities to tap into the defined-contribution (DC) market.Accessing retail capital and 401k plans through DC channels is potentially a major area of growth, requiring new product structures and daily liquidity solutions.Fund managers must strategically align vehicle structures with investor objectives and market conditions for both short- and long-term capital needs.

What happens when you dig deeper into country of origin data and discover it's not just about tariffs or supply chain resilience?

One of the biggest hurdles to native plant gardening is sourcing native plants. Whereas nurseries are starting to fill the demand, it is nevertheless difficult to keep up with demand. Sourcing seed from the wild is a major part of this process, but how do we do it ethically? Stripping native plant populations of their seeds isn't good for the habitats they comprise so this is where groups like the Mid-Atlantic Regional Seed Bank (MARSB) come in. Their mission is to conserve and wisely manage the Mid-Atlantic Region's wild seed resources, through scientific sampling, ethical collection, banking, and curation, and to encourage and actively contribute to the development of the Native Plant Material supply chain throughout the region. Join me and their Native Seed Collection Coordinator John Price as we discuss the process behind what it takes to achieve this mission and some of the major struggles they face.

 B. HIGH-TEMPERATURE RARE EARTHS AND PREDATORY PRICING Guest: David Archibald The most desirable rare earths, Dysprosium and Terbium, allow magnets to function at high temperatures. China is now sourcing 40% of its supply of these from Myanmar. Though Australia produces these, structural oversupply is a risk. Subsidies, like the floor price given to MP Materials, may be necessary to prevent Chinese predatory pricing from killing off non-commercial producers seeking market dominance. 1936 PERTH
