This week, Nick and Michael take a fiery deep dive into the origin of branding (yes, the cattle kind) and what it reveals about how urgent care clinics build reputation, loyalty, and trust in a crowded market.From cowboys with hot irons to orange juice campaigns that changed breakfast forever, this episode explores how great brands aren't just seen—they're felt. Whether you're running one location or scaling across a region, understanding brand equity might be the missing piece to your growth strategy.This isn't theory. It's a real-world look at how branding drives conversions, loyalty, and even ad performance—especially in the urgent care space, where most clinics still lead with a red sign and hope.So saddle up!

There's a belief EDs could be diverting patients away with vouchers for urgent care clinic consultations, more than they are. It's believed Auckland's Waitakere Hospital is sending away around 25 patients a day with vouchers due to long wait lists. The Health District's total voucher spend jumped 60% between 2022 and last year. The Royal College of GPs' Medical Director, Luke Bradford told Mike Hosking there's pressure on EDs to meet Health NZ's target of seeing patients within six hours. He says it's cheaper to hand out a $150 or $200 voucher, considering the average cost for a visit is 800. Bradford says it's a reasonable way to help manage the flow of EDs, and vouches are a solution to managing a recession and a lack of resources.

There are no guarantees patient fees will get any cheaper despite a government funding boost for after hours and urgent care. The government said it will be working toward a more consistent clearer fees framework nationwide, but has not committed to making visits cheaper.

Shea was really just trying to do her best.

Alisha went next door for what was supposed to be an easy stay. It wasn't. Two days in and she's itchy, Urgent Care's googling her rash like it's a Reddit thread, and somehow Janice's fence gets involved. Meanwhile, I'm losing sleep, watching Homestead Rescue against my will, and battling an emotionally manipulative cat. Did I miss her? Oh yes. Did I admit that out loud? You're damn right I did.Welcome to the rashy, fence-fixing, plant-poisoned saga of separation, mild codependency, and the slow realization that she might be the only person I'm okay doing life with.***Email: autisticang38@gmail.comAutistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticangSubstack: autisticang38.substack.comInstagram: instagram.com/autisticang38LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/autistic-ang-87494030aQuora: adulthoodwithachanceofautism.quora.comReddit: reddit.com/r/autisticang38Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social

It's part marketing strategy, part reality check, and 100% focused on helping your urgent care become the go-to clinic in your community.Get ready for practical tips, real-world examples, and a reminder that omnipresence (not just Google Ads) is the real secret to scaling.
