All this month we're looking at the ways we can use data to guide our decisions on how to get students the additional support they need sooner. There are some common decision rules your team can follow, but what does that look like in practice? Our guests today will share their experience. Joining us in conversation are Dr. Lisa Friesen from North Kansas City Schools and Jamie Ferguson from Oak Park High School, both in Kansas City, MO. Lisa has been with North Kansas City Schools for 22 years. She is a former elementary and high school special education teacher and currently serves as a District Instructional Coordinator for MTSS, organizing and supporting academic and behavior interventions and systems K-12. Jamie has been part of the North Kansas City School District for the past 16 years. She spent 11 years at Linden West Elementary co-leading Tier 1 interventions and served on the Tier 2 and Tier 3 support teams.

When your launch doesn't go as planned, your brain immediately starts creating stories. Stories about why no one wants your offer, why you're not cut out for this, why the price must be wrong. These stories feel true in the moment, but they're rarely based on actual evidence. They're based on fear.   In Part 2 of this series, you'll hear my exact framework for identifying where things are going wrong and how to form hypotheses based on real data rather than fear-based assumptions. Discover which specific data points to track (and which ones to ignore) based on your business goals, and the reason finishing your full launch plan matters more than immediate results.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/257   Learn more about Reimagine here: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/reimagine-mastermind-2025/   Follow along over on Instagram: instagram.com/lindsaydotzlaf/

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! I hope your school year is off to a wonderful start. Today I'm excited to bring you a very special guest, Joyce Harduvel. Joyce is a passionate advocate for youth and the school counselors and social workers that support them. She worked in Chicago Public Schools for seven years where she specialized in evidence-based and trauma-informed behavior intervention for students with chronic challenging behaviors. Joyce is an advocate for proactive professional self care that allows school-based professionals to build that sustainable careers of their dreams so that they can do what is really important: support their students! She now works with school counselors and social workers as a coach and clinical supervisor while pursuing a law degree to further her skills in championing youth. In this episode, Joyce shares her expertise on how to create positive change for students by using data. She breaks down practical steps you can take to make data meaningful and actionable in your counseling practice. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: 1. Assessing the Situation Avoid going in with predetermined views. Begin with a holistic assessment that provides a well-rounded perspective of where a student is at. Gather information from multiple sources: families, teachers, and the students themselves. Use observations, records, and assessments to inform your starting point. 2. Developing Goals and Tracking Data Identify a lagging social-emotional skill and create a targeted goal. Explore resources like CASEL, which breaks SEL skills into five domains and offers free research and tools. Start small—choose one specific area to focus on. Establish a baseline using student records (assignments, attendance, GPA, behavior data). Incorporate tracking methods such as antecedent-behavior forms, duration or interval data, mood tracking, or SEL pre/post tests. Refine your goal to ensure it is SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound). Break goals into smaller benchmarks for clarity and progress monitoring. 3. Using Data to Drive Interventions Collect ongoing data through screeners, classroom input, or case notes. Remember—the point of collecting data is to actually use it. If progress isn't happening, adjust your goals and strategies. Use data to guide your interventions, advocate for student needs, and identify trends that may inform Tier 1 or Tier 2 supports. Most importantly, use data to celebrate student growth and successes along the way. This episode is packed with practical strategies to help you see data not as a burden, but as a powerful tool to create meaningful, positive change for your students.   Resources Mentioned: Join IMPACT CASEL  Woodcock-Johnson Testing   Connect with Rachel: TpT Store Blog Instagram Facebook Page Facebook Group Pinterest Youtube Connect with Joyce: www.joyce-lcsw.com Instagram  More About School Counseling Simplified: School Counseling Simplified is a podcast offering easy to implement strategies for busy school counselors.

In today's world, where instant delivery and ride-sharing are everyday norms, healthcare access still lags behind. Patients now wait an average of 31 days to see a specialist in major U.S. cities—a 19% jump since 2022—according to AMN Healthcare's 2025 survey. The stakes are high: delays can lead to worsening conditions, increased ER visits, and skyrocketing costs for patients, providers, and employers alike.So why are we still waiting on healthcare, and how do we fix that? Is it possible to deliver rapid, high-quality access to top-tier physicians without sacrificing care or overwhelming the system?In this episode of Highway to Health, host David Kemp is joined by Priya A. Patel, CEO and Co‑Founder of overbookMD, to discuss how her company is tackling this access crisis. OverbookMD connects patients to top specialists within 48 hours—without compromising quality.

“That'd be impossible… unless?” – Andrew James How do you respond when life throws a punch? If you're like most people, when you hit a wall, you just push harder—longer hours, more stress, hoping brute force will somehow get you through. If you're like Andrew, you stop. Take a breath. And then ask the simple question that's carried him through every tough season: “What would have to be true for this to work?” That single question has shaped everything he's built—taking him from a scrappy kid flipping diet plans on eBay (& later hustling affiliate offers & imported products) to the founder of Eyeball Division & Cerebro Analytics, two companies helping brands grow smarter and faster. And it's the same mindset that's pulled him through the messy middle: the clients ready to walk, the pivots that felt terrifying, the nights where the easy answer would've been to quit. If you're ready for an episode that part wake-up call, part permission slip to do things differently: Download Andrew's episode of the Anything But Typical Podcast (link in 1st comment) Connect at cerebroanalytics.com Andrew has built a life out of tackling challenges most people walk away from—and actually enjoys the climb. Which is why Walt Disney's words feel spot on: “It's kind of fun to do the impossible.”

Talking to the board, a board committee or senior executives is different since each has its own priorities. Be sure that what you say and show them speaks directly to their role. Remember, too, that the board is focused on the organization as a whole. She cautions that the board will feel obligated to read anything you send it. So, be sure to avoid overwhelming them and to focus on the larger issues that could materially affect the organization. When presenting data, don't just give them the raw numbers. Prepare a concise analysis that tells them what those numbers mean and what the key takeaways are. She found that a slide showing opportunities, challenges, highlights and lowlights in a simple quadrant graphic can be particularly useful. Dashboards, too, can be valuable, so long as every light on it isn't green. That's bound to raise suspicions. Take the time, too, to anticipate what questions they are likely to ask. She warns that boards tend to want to know how the organization stacks up against its industry peers. So, be sure to take the time to benchmark. Be sure to also take the time to listen to the podcast and join us in Nashville, September 14-17, at the SCCE Annual Compliance & Ethics Institute.

What started with a few blood labs quickly turned into a full-blown system of hormone tuning, data tracking, and precise optimization. He's not just aging slower. His biological age is 24 years younger than his real age.Dave is a longevity-focused biohacker who treats his body like an engineering system. At 62, his biological age clocks in at just 38, and he's achieved it without a medical team, a trust fund, or a warehouse of tech. What he does have is a rigorous protocol, a deep understanding of blood chemistry, and a habit of challenging outdated medical assumptions.In this episode, Dave and I talk about how growing up with low self-esteem shaped his obsession with self-research, why most blood lab reference ranges are misleading, and how he utilizes monthly testing to fine-tune every variable that matters. We also dig into why stress once crushed his biological age score, and how he's now outperforming some of the most famous names in the biohacking world while spending under $15K a year.“Why would I want to be average for a population of sick people?” ~ Dave PascoeAbout Dave Pascoe:Dave Pascoe is a longevity-focused biohacker, data analyst, and self-experimenter whose current biological age clocks in at 38 years old, despite being over 62 chronologically. He's one of the top-ranked participants in the Rejuvenation Olympics and an outspoken advocate for using regular bloodwork, self-tracking, and science-backed interventions to slow aging, optimize health, and boost performance. His approach is methodical, skeptical, and rooted in real-world outcomes, not hype.Connect with Dave Pascoe:- Website: https://www.davepascoe.net - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dave.pascoe - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dave-pascoe-6617693/ Connect with Chris Burres:- Website: https://www.myvitalc.com/ - Website: http://www.livebeyondthenorms.com/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisburres/ - TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@myvitalc - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisburres/

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today's show is Mike Jorgenson from Carr Healthcare Realty.   Mike joins me back on the show to talk about what goes into a demographics search when evaluating the location of a practice—and he does it from both a cold start as well as existing practice's point of view. We talk about the minimum OD:population ratio that's generally advisable when setting up or buying a practice and other details as it pertains to the factors that influence the demographics of a practice's location. Our conversation then transitions into, well...practice transitions! Whether a selling doctor leases or owns the real estate that the practice is located in, Mike shares important real estate considerations that both sides—buyer and seller alike—should be thinking about and and proactively planning.   As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today's conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center.

Dr. Dan interviews Andrea Jones-Rooy – data scientist, educator, podcast host, comedian, and circus performer – about how data informs our journeys to being our best selves. Based on her life of weaving in between the worlds of science and art, Andrea believes that it's at the intersection of science and art that we can make the biggest, most life-changing, and world-changing discoveries. Andrea's multi-hyphenate careers (she is equally comfortable entertaining at comedy clubs, speaking to Fortune 500 companies, and sitting behind the podcast mic) prove data is the foundation of how we live, how we make decisions, and how we can make the world a better place. Dr. Dan and Andrea define data and then discuss the data related to our current moment in history. They explore why democratizing data science empowers everyone—not just statisticians—to make sense of the numbers shaping our world. From political polarization to public health to how we read headlines, Dr. Dan and Andrea tell us how we can all use data for good.   Andrea Jones-Rooy hosts the podcast Behind The Data where she discusses how data is actually collected, its limitations, and offers advice on how to factor it into decision-making. Andrea believes there's no such thing as being just a “math person” or a “creative” – she insists we're all capable of brilliance in both. “It's all about finding the right way to unlock those skills and discovering what we're truly capable of.”  Listeners will learn from, laugh, and love today's discussion - even if they hate math!  For more information www.jonesrooy.com and follow @jonesrooy on Instagram.
