They run paid ads, push monthly specials, compete on price, and hope the algorithm keeps working in their favor.But the med spas that want to build true long-term market dominance need more than direct response ads alone. They need a second engine.In this episode, I break down a killer marketing strategy almost no med spas are using: building a local media empire that earns attention, builds trust, owns the audience, and turns your med spa into the obvious choice in your market.You will learn:✅ Why paid ads are powerful, but still highly transactional and platform-dependent✅ Why most med spas are competing for the same small group of “buy now” patients✅ How to reach the 97% of future buyers before they are actively searching for a med spa✅ Why building a media entity can help you own attention instead of renting it from other platforms✅ What it means to create a second client acquisition engine beyond Facebook, Instagram, Google, and monthly specials✅ How local newsletters, podcasts, events, guides, and community content can become powerful marketing assets✅ Why your med spa content does not always need to be directly about Botox, fillers, lasers, or aesthetics✅ How to choose a local audience archetype, such as moms, executives, golfers, wellness-focused women, or luxury homeowners✅ How to use the 90/10 rule so your content builds real trust without becoming one long sales pitch✅ Why a true media asset should deliver independent value first and promote your med spa second✅ How owned audiences can improve paid ad performance by creating warmer demand before the offer is ever shown✅ Why the strongest med spas should think like media companies, not just service providers✅ How building or even acquiring a local media asset can create a major competitive advantage✅ Why ads buy temporary attention, but media assets create long-term loyaltyIf you are tired of relying only on paid ads, promo offers, and rented platforms to grow your med spa, this episode will help you think differently about client acquisition. Instead of fighting every competitor for the same ready-to-buy patients, you can start building an owned audience, creating local influence, and positioning your med spa as the brand people already know, like, and trust before they ever need a treatment.If you're ready to implement more efficient & effective marketing strategies for your practice, book your FREE strategy session & marketing plan: https://go.medspamagicmarketing.com/scheduleFollow us on social media:https://www.instagram.com/medspamagicmarketing/https://www.linkedin.com/company/med-spa-magic-marketing/https://www.facebook.com/MedSpaMagicMarketing/https://www.tiktok.com/@medspamagicmarketing

Send us Fan MailThis week on Floc-It Friday, Rudy Stankowitz takes aim at one of the most misunderstood concepts in pool chemistry: pH drift. If you've ever been told that pH "just goes up," Rudy has news for you. Water doesn't drift. Chemistry doesn't shrug. And carbon dioxide may be controlling your pool far more than you've been taught. Before diving into chemistry, Rudy opens with a satirical pool industry news segment covering algae in Washington's Reflecting Pool, Leslie's recent financial improvements, private equity acquisitions, above-ground pool recalls, and the growing obsession with smart pool equipment. Topics CoveredBreaking News from the Pool WorldA tongue-in-cheek look at: Algae growth in the Reflecting Pool near the National Mall  "Operation Green Freedom" and a fictional crop-duster copper sulfate deployment  Leslie's reporting improved sales and customer activity  Ongoing consolidation of pool service companies through private equity acquisitions  Above-ground pool recalls making national headlines  The industry's growing fascination with app-connected heat pumps and automation Why "pH Drift" Is a Bad ExplanationRudy challenges one of the industry's most common phrases.Water does not mysteriously "drift."When pH changes, chemistry is causing it.This episode explains why saying pH drift is often an observation rather than an explanation and why understanding the underlying chemistry matters. The Pool Is BreathingOne of the most important concepts discussed:Your swimming pool is continuously exchanging gases with the atmosphere.Topics include: Gas exchange at the air-water interface  Chemical equilibrium  Carbon dioxide movement  Why pools are dynamic systems rather than static containers of water  How atmospheric chemistry influences water chemistry every second of every day Carbon Dioxide: The Hidden Driver of pH RiseMost pool professionals focus on chlorine, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and acid additions.Rudy explains why carbon dioxide deserves far more attention.Learn about: Carbon dioxide dissolution  Carbonic acid formation  The carbonate buffering system  Why carbon dioxide leaving the water causes pH to rise  The relationship between carbon dioxide, bicarbonate, and carbonate chemistry Eric Knight's Brilliant Cyanurate-Alkalinity ExplanationReferencing the June 3rd episode of Rule Your Pool, Rudy revisits Eric Knight's explanation of why cyanurate alkalinity is treated differently depending on the calculation being performed.Discussion includes: Why cyanurate contributes to total alkalinity  How muriatic acid protonates cyanurate ions  The difference between cyanurate ions and cyanuric acid  Why total alkalinity and carbonate alkalinity are not interchangeable  When to use carbonate alkalinity for LSI calculations  Why total alkalinity is still used for acid demand calculations Does pH Still Matter When CYA Is Present?A detailed review of: The FC/CYA relationship  Hypochlorous acid concentration  The effects of pH on sanitizer strength  Why maintaining the proper chlorine-to-CYA ratio matters  Pathogen kill times at different pH levels  Giardia and leptospira examples demonstrating how pH can still influence disinfection performance Total Alkalinity Is Not a ChemicalOne of the central lessons of the episode:Total alkalinity is a measurement, not a substance.Topics include: Buffering capacity  Acid neutralizing capacity  Carbonate and bicarbonate systems  Why alkalinity gets blamed for everything  The difference between cause and effect in water chemistry Le Chatelier's Principle and Pool ChemistryRudy breaks down one of chemistry's most important concepts into practical pool language.Learn: What happens when equilibrium is disturbed  How the carbonate system responds to carbon dioxide loss  Why hydrogen ion concentration changes  The actual mechanism behind rising pH Why Waterfalls, Spas, Bubblers, and Deck Jets Raise pHIf your backyard resembles a miniature Bellagio, this section is for you.Topics include: Aeration and turbulence  Increased gas exchange  Carbon dioxide stripping  Why decorative water features often accelerate pH rise  Understanding the relationship between aeration and water balance Salt Systems and pH RiseA common misconception is addressed:Salt systems do not create pH.Instead, they create conditions that accelerate carbon dioxide loss.Discussion includes: Hydrogen gas production  Increased turbulence  Gas transfer dynamics  Why salt pools often experience persistent pH rise Acid and Aeration: The Ultimate DemonstrationRudy explains why the classic acid-and-aeration method for lowering total alkalinity proves that carbon dioxide—not alkalinity—is driving pH rise.A practical chemistry lesson every service technician should understand. Key Takeaways pH does not mysteriously drift.  Carbon dioxide is often the real driver of pH rise.  Total alkalinity is a measurement, not a chemical.  Aeration accelerates carbon dioxide loss.  Salt systems indirectly contribute to rising pH by increasing gas exchange.  Understanding equilibrium makes pool chemistry easier to predict.  Once you understand carbon dioxide, many long-standing pool chemistry mysteries disappear.

fWotD Episode 3308: Sally Ride Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 26 May 2026, is Sally Ride.Sally Kristen Ride (May 26, 1951 – July 23, 2012) was an American astronaut and physicist. Born in Los Angeles, she joined NASA in 1978, and in 1983 became the first American woman and the third woman to fly in space, after cosmonauts Valentina Tereshkova in 1963 and Svetlana Savitskaya in 1982. She was the youngest American astronaut to have flown in space, having done so at the age of 32.Ride was a graduate of Stanford University, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in physics and a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature in 1973, a Master of Science degree in 1975, and a Doctor of Philosophy in 1978 (both in physics) for research on the interaction of X-rays with the interstellar medium. She was selected as a mission specialist astronaut with NASA Astronaut Group 8, the first class of NASA astronauts to include women. After completing her training in 1979, she served as the ground-based capsule communicator (CapCom) for the second and third Space Shuttle flights, and helped develop the Space Shuttle's robotic arm. In June 1983, she flew in space on the Space Shuttle Challenger on the STS-7 mission. The mission deployed two communications satellites and the first Shuttle pallet satellite (SPAS-1). Ride operated the robotic arm to deploy and retrieve SPAS-1. Her second space flight was the STS-41-G mission in 1984, also on board Challenger. She spent a total of more than 343 hours in space. She left NASA in 1987.Ride worked for two years at Stanford University's Center for International Security and Arms Control, then at the University of California, San Diego, primarily researching nonlinear optics and Thomson scattering. She served on the committees that investigated the loss of Challenger and of Columbia, the only person to participate in both. Having been married to astronaut Steven Hawley during her spaceflight years and in a private, long-term relationship with former Women's Tennis Association player Tam O'Shaughnessy, she is the first astronaut known to have been LGBTQ, a fact that she hid until her death, when her obituary identified O'Shaughnessy as her partner of 27 years. She died of pancreatic cancer in 2012.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:13 UTC on Tuesday, 26 May 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Sally Ride on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Joey.

Audrey Neff sits down with CPA and founder of Keep What You Earn, Shannon Weinstein, for a candid conversation on the financial realities behind running a successful med spa. From cash flow and profitability to retail strategy, expansion, and exit readiness, Shannon breaks down the numbers every owner should actually be paying attention to. Together, they unpack why being "booked and busy" doesn't always translate to profit, the hidden revenue leaks many practices overlook, and what it truly takes to build a scalable, high-value business that creates long-term freedom instead of owner dependency.

Is the sports card world truly one unified hobby… or a collection of completely different micro markets, cultures, and collector mindsets? Joined by Joe Poirot, Jeremy and Brett McGrath explore the growing fragmentation of the hobby and why different collecting communities now operate almost like separate ecosystems. Topics include: Hobby vs industry Why broad “the hobby is doing this” narratives often fail Category-specific collector behavior The rise of niche content and niche collector communities Why different corners of the hobby value cards differently How market psychology changes across collector groups The conversation then shifts into the controversial world of card restoration, alteration, soaking, cleaning, and “card spas” after Jeremy shares a viral Instagram post criticizing restoration practices on vintage cards. They discuss: Whether collectors deserve full disclosure on altered cards Why grading companies struggle to detect certain restorations The ethical divide around card cleaning and restoration How restoration compares to comic book restoration and fine art restoration Whether PSA slabs create a false sense of security The growing tension between authenticity and aesthetics The episode closes with more discussion around hobby psychology, latent taste, finding your collecting lane, and how collectors discover entirely new passions through exposure and community interaction.

Most people think buying businesses is a numbers game. Ace Chapman has done 200+ acquisitions - and he'll tell you the numbers are almost never the point. Ace has been in this game since the dot-com bubble. He almost sold a stock market simulator to a little Nebraska company called Omaha Securities - before it became Ameritrade. He got out of a real estate business right before 2008 hit. He's not lucky. He's built a framework for thinking about business ownership that most acquisition guys never arrive at, no matter how many deals they close. But here's where it gets interesting. Right now, while everyone else is hunting online businesses in the U.S., Ace is doing something completely different - buying offline deals in Latin America, where business brokers don't exist and most owners don't even know selling is an option. Hotels. Spas. Mental health clinics. Panama. Colombia. Argentina. He walked into a hotel recently and heard the front desk pitch his own spa to a guest checking in. In this episode, Jaryd sits down with Ace to unpack why he thinks every business is just inventory - and why holding on too long is the real risk most buyers never talk about. How he structures equity deals so he never has to build anything from scratch. And what a real portfolio actually looks like when you stop confusing operating businesses with wealth. Most buyers are waiting for the market to calm down before they make a move. Ace just went and found a completely different market - one where nobody else is even looking.

This is a bitesize episode of 'The insuleoin Podcast - Redefining Diabetes'. Each week we'll take a look back into the archive of episodes and get you to think and reflective once more about some of the things we've learned over the past few years. This week's episode is taken from our Diabetes Awareness Month's 30x30 series. To hear the full episode check out episode #206: Managing Your Bloods In Spas, Saunas and Hot Tubs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

For the first time on record, experience-based tenants — spas, gyms, wellness studios, entertainment venues — are outpacing traditional goods retailers in leasing shopping center space, with wellness and fitness leading the charge. Joe Pine, Dave Norton, and Aransas Savas unpack what this shift actually means: it is not just a retail story, it is confirmation that the transformation economy Joe predicted more than two decades ago has arrived. The conversation traces the arc from malls to experiential anchors, examines why some brands (Red Bull) rode the wave and others (Nike) missed it, and lands on a provocation for any company still selling goods: if you want to sell products today, sell experiences. If you want to sell even more products, sell transformation. Key Takeaways The bifurcation is accelerating. Post-COVID data from high-end luxury shows goods flattening or declining in price while experiences shot upward. The Economist's October feature on high-net-worth luxury quietly re-labeled "services" as "experiences" in its TikTok follow-up — a small edit that tells the whole story. Experiential venues are the new anchors. The old mall anchor was a department store. The new anchor is an escape room cluster, a bowling alley that is really an entertainment complex, an NHL team's practice facility inside a converted suburban mall. Square footage is shifting toward places people want to spend time, not places they pass through. Goods still sell — but best through the experience. Joe's story about the original Nike Town in Chicago captures the mistake most brands still make: Nike Town had a line out the door and did not charge admission. Over time, goods crept back into the floor space that used to belong to basketball courts and events. Red Bull took the opposite path and became an experience company that sells an energy drink. The trajectories diverged for a reason. Experiences commoditize fast. SoulCycle opened a category; spin studios saturated it within a decade. The same glut is forming in spas and boutique gyms right now. The next move is specialization and bespoke combinations — and beyond that, transformation. Transformation is the durable business model. Experiences are episodic. Transformations are long-term engagements, which makes them long-term revenue. Aransas frames the shift cleanly: not just time well spent, but time well invested. Companies that move from experience provider to journey partner earn a different kind of relationship — and a different kind of margin. Social media is an experience platform. Influencers are in the experience business. Some investors will not touch a product today until the influencer strategy is nailed down. Advertising and packaging are shrinking as a share of how people discover and buy. Memorable Moments Joe's recap of his Monaco keynote at the Forbes Travel Guide Summit, where luxury goods manufacturers showed up because they are all getting into luxury experiences now The Nike Town queue that was not charging admission — and what it foreshadowed about Nike's retreat from flagship experiences Dave on the Utah Mammoth buying a suburban mall and turning most of the square footage into a place fans come to watch practice Aransas on walking out of a spa day carrying products because she had just seen, on her own face, what they actually do The throwaway that lands: "Gosh, we're smart." The Strategic Question for Every Brand If you sell goods, where is your experiential venue — physical or virtual — and what transformation are you actually offering the customer who shows up? The brands that answer this well over the next five years will be the ones occupying the square footage the department stores used to hold.
