OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, MBA, CRNA, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Boss Academy podcast, presents the pros and cons of having a business credit card. If you choose to have one, he provides tips on how to use the card wisely.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Jason shares an example of someone who funded their startup with a business credit. He changed his mind on the business and presumed he wouldn't be held personally responsible for the debt. He was wrong.
• Jason explains the differences between a small business credit card and a corporate credit card. A corporate credit card is more difficult to set up but it holds only the business liable for expenses versus the person.
• There are revenue requirements to set up a corporate credit card – $4million in gross revenue. Only C corps and S corps can apply – not LLCs.
• The great value business credit cards provide is their point system. Jason's Chase Preferred card offers 3 points for every $1.00 he spends. For example, if he spends 10k in a year, using the 3-point system, that's 30k points or $300 in cash value.
• Divide your credit card points by a hundred to get an estimate of its value in gift cards or if you were to cash it out.
• Set up reminders for your credit card payments to avoid paying interest. Jason advises not to trade interest for points.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, MBA, CRNA, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Boss Academy talks about how to create wealth in today's economy, including the two ways to do this and the three types of people who create wealth through their assets.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• The right way to create passive or semi-passive wealth is to create multiple assets vs trading your time for money or ‘working your ass off.'
• There are three categories of people with assets: creators, controllers, and owners.
• Creators generate revenue using their mind to build or create something. Examples include online courses, coaching and consulting in a group setting, intellectual property and white label services.
• Controllers generate revenue through syndication – in other words they don't own the assets but they control them. Examples here include managing an Airbnb, affiliate marketing and drop shipping.
• Lastly, owners generate revenue through ownership of real estate. Property examples include car washes, storage rentals, laundromats, Redbox and rental properties.
• The sharing economy is taking a liability and turning it into an asset, like renting out your background, pool, barn or garage for an event.
• Peer-to-peer lending, often referred to as social lending, connects people or entities who are willing to loan money with people who need to borrow money.
• To craft wealth, change your mindset from consumer to employee. Think like an entrepreneur or producer vs consumer.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“If you're making it (money) with your ass, you're trading your time for dollars…the only way that you can make a dollar is to sell hours of your skills and life to an employer,and that is extremely limited.” – Jason Duprat

“Basically, you can take what used to be your liability, something that used to be a cost to you, and help either reduce the liability or just flat out turn it into an asset. This is called the sharing economy.” – Jason Duprat

“You do not have to be on the consuming end. If you are on the producing end, if you're adding value to people, that's where the real wealth is generated. That's how you become wealthy in today's economy.” – Jason Duprat

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, MBA, CRNA, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Boss Academy, talks about if and when you should consider looking into multiple streams of revenue – and how to systemize them.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Creating multiple streams of revenue may be the obvious way forward but it also has its pros and cons. Timing and taking little steps should always be your focus if you want all of them to succeed.
• Systemize your streams of revenue. Doing everything at once will only lead to inefficiency and even failure.
• Stop pulling yourself into different directions, focus on your primary business before thinking about trying other ventures.
• Jason references Elon Musk and how he has built his companies through momentum and systemization.
• Think in a step-wise fashion! There's only so much you can do. Be conscious of your energy, time, and money.
• Not all streams of income should be active streams of income.
• Entrepreneurship is flexible. Be in control, don't be afraid to go into something that you are passionate about.

OVERVIEW:

“Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some hire public relations officers.” – Daniel J. Boorstin

Jason A. Duprat, MBA, CRNA, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Boss Academy podcast, sits down with Paul Furiga, President and Chief Storyteller of WordWrite. In this episode, Paul shares decades’ worth of knowledge on Public Relations, such as various PR concepts, how to use PR to gain success, and his take on the difference between Advertising and PR.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• He spent about 20 years in Journalism, wrote about 10,000 stories, and edited another 10,000. Along with his Journalism experience, he learned the value and skill of Storytelling.
• Advertising vs Public Relations analogy:
• Advertising is when you come into the office the morning after your big date and you tell everybody how great you were.

• PR is when you come into the office the morning after your big date and your date tells everybody how great you are.

• Paul and his company practice a 21st Century practice abbreviated as P.E.S.O. - Paid, Earned, Shared, Owned. Every healthcare client Paul works with needs these four categories of content to gain success.

• Pitching is the Psychology of "When is the right time and right place for the right story?"
• Three categories of measuring Public Relation success are Outputs, Outtakes, and Outcomes.
• Press Releases are good for SEO. When you put a Press Release on the internet, write it in plain, easy-to-understand English that can be understood by those outside your profession. You only need to spend a large amount of money if you are making a major national announcement. For regional announcements, there are much more affordable regional distributions.
• The best way to reach Paul would be through www.wordwritepr.com

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, MBA, CRNA, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Boss Academy podcast talks about how – and if – you should start a business when you have student loan debt.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• In the US, student debt totals 1.6 trillion dollars. The average student graduates with just under 38k in student loans. And 15% of the US population currently has student loan debt.
• Jason shares five tips for those struggling with student loans yet still want to launch their business.
• First, choose your institution wisely. As a student, think about the return on your investment! Don't just pick the most expensive school. The odds of getting your money back, especially in the healthcare field, is relatively low.
• Second, make sure you're paying the least amount of interest as possible after you graduate. Consider loan consolidation. Also, there are governmental loan forgiveness programs. They often have a strict contract so make sure you can commit to avoid penalties.
• Next, reduce the amount you owe. Jason joined the Navy Reserves and reduced his loans by 30k. This has its pros and cons, which you should consider when looking for new opportunities to repay your debt.
• Fourth, spend wisely and live lean. Self-discipline and self-control is a must to avoid ballooning student loans. Live well below your means and don't make expensive purchases like a new car or home.
• Fifth, figure out a way to earn more. Work overtime and apply extra payments directly to your principal vs interest. Pick up a PRN job, which offers great flexibility and pays 25-50% higher than normal salaries.
• Start lean and if possible start with a partner who can share expenses with you. Humble yourself. Start small and also consider online options, which have little to no startup costs, such as courses and books.
• Once launched, and if possible, consider reinvesting your earnings vs paying off your student debt. This might allow you to move to a second business more quickly with a higher growth model.

OVERVIEW:

Obesity is a disease.

It's not just a lifestyle issue.

Jason A. Duprat, MBA, CRNA, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Boss Academy podcast, sits down with Katherine Saunders, Co-Founder of Intellihealth, Diplomat of the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board of Obesity Medicine, and Host of the Weight Matters Podcast. Join us in this episode as we debunk the long-standing stigma surrounding obesity and learn more about Katherine and Intellihealth's mission to bring accessible medical obesity care for all.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Katherine's mentor had a predecessor company which she and her husband transitioned into Intellihealth, wherein they aim to democratize effective obesity treatment. Serving as a Primary Care physician, Katherine was overwhelmed with her patients' weight-related diseases which inspired her to pursue Obesity Medicine.
• Physiological and pathophysiological changes occur with excess weight that make it very difficult to lose weight and easy to gain weight.
• Obesity Medicine is a newer field of medicine. There are only under 6,000 physicians who are certified in Obesity Medicine, which is astoundingly low considering how rampant obesity is in America.
• The cornerstone of the field is dietary strategies, physical activity, and behavioral change. Medications come in only after comprehensive evaluations and needs assessments.
• Katherine mentions the American Board of Obesity Medicine, Obesity Medicine Associate, and conferences available to learn more about the field.
• She works closely with Software Developers in Intellihealth, combining two vastly different fields to make Obesity Medicine more accessible for all. One of their goals is to break the stigma, to educate people that obesity is a disease and not dependent on willpower alone.

OVERVIEW

Jason A. Duprat, MBA, CRNA, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Boss Academy podcast, talks about how to attract the top talent to your team when starting or running a new business.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• If you’re launching or starting a new business, building a team of talented people is important for growth. When you have a great team, you can deliver great products and service.
• When it comes to hiring new employees, position the benefits of working for your company, especially if you can’t offer a big salary.
• One advantage of working for an entrepreneur is autonomy – often not found in the corporate sector. There are layers, meetings and bureaucracy you have to go through with larger entities in the corporate world.
• Talented people want room to grow and the ability to make decisions. This includes managing budgets and teams, as well as being able to create and come up with solutions. When employees can make decisions, they feel empowered and have a sense of pride in their work.
• Another perk you can promote is providing a title. This boosts morale and can serve as a stepping stone for your employees further down the road if they decide to pursue other opportunities.
• Flexible hours help your employees improve their work-life balance. Beyond hours, flexibility can also include working remotely and having time to take vacations.
• If you want to attract the top talent to your team, verbalize, communicate and market the benefits of working for your new business. Do this across all channels including job boards, your website and during interview questions.
• Hiring the top talent allows you to take your business to the next level.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, MBA, CRNA, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Boss Academy podcast talks about the best way to manage irrational and overly demanding customers.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• When you own a business, complaints are something you can't escape. There are ways you can manage angry customers while maintaining the integrity of your company.
• Be empathetic and listen to what unsatisfied customers are saying. Put yourself in their shoes and really listen to the core reason behind their complaint.
• Unhappy customers are louder than happy customers. They're going to make more noise. Always try to resolve the situation before it gets worse.
• Managing customer expectations, especially customers who escalate easily, can be correlated to the price of your product or service.
• Minimize the opportunity to complain. If your costs are higher, you'll attract a higher quality customer.
• Believe it or not, sometimes the customer isn't always right. Don't be afraid to discharge them from your business. Jason shares his former general manager's philosophy and how it resolved sticky situations in the past.
• Don't feel guilty about taking charge and putting a stop to irrational and insistent customers.

“We're not competitor-obsessed, we're customer-obsessed. We start with what the customer needs and we work backwards.” — Jeff Bezos

Jason A. Duprat, MBA, CRNA, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Boss Academy podcast, sits down with David Lu, Founder of Axon Video Strategy. In this episode, David shares how he combined his years of Pharmacy experience, passion for Business, and for Video Production expertise to build his value-driven career today. We also learn what separates a regular skill from an in-demand, client-centric service. Tune in to learn more of David's timeless wisdom.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• David grew up with a passion for business-related topics. David's sister started her own Film Production Company in LA and he worked for her for several shoots. He studied Video Production on his own and eventually did Video side projects alongside doing Pharmacy work.
• He wanted to do what he loved and empower others to do what they loved, so he combined his interest in business with his Video Production skills to pursue that.
• One of David's techniques for overcoming Impostor Syndrome is practicing gratitude. Whenever he feels discouraged, a trusted friend reminds him of his accomplishments and helps him to be grounded.
• It's one thing to provide a service, but another thing to provide a metrics-focused result.
• Rather than focusing on providing Video Production, the highlight of David's business is providing inquiries or leads for businesses. David niching down to serving medical practitioners came down to three factors:
  • Leveraging his existing background in healthcare
  • Who would benefit from his products and services
  • Who is willing and able to pay for his services.
• When choosing an editor, choose someone who can tell your story. If they don't know the objective of the video, the edit's going to be pointless.
• You can reach David through axonvs.com or his email, david@davidlufilms.com.

OVERVIEW

Jason A. Duprat, MBA, CRNA, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Boss Academy podcast, talks about why your business should get cybersecurity insurance and different ways to mitigate risks regarding your business' data being hacked or stolen.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Are you taking the right security measures when protecting yourself and your business' data? The recent attack on SolarWinds Orion software is one of the greatest US cybersecurity breaches and affected close to 18,000 companies. The breach led to massive data compromises in big corporations, including governmental agencies, and will take years to identify the damage that's been done.
• The cybersecurity of your business should always be one of your biggest priorities. Your online data footprint is vulnerable to an attack at any time so protect yourself by purchasing cybersecurity insurance.
• Use two-factor authentication, which sends a pin code to your cellphone to verify logins.
• Review your password management protocol. Change your passwords every 6 months and use unpredictable passwords – including a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, along with symbols and numbers. You can also use third-party password software tools such as LastPass.
• Never plug anything unknown into your computer, such as a thumb drive or CD. They can contain malicious codes that can compromise your computer's files.
• Set up your routers properly. Change the username and password and check if your router password is encrypted.
• Make sure you turn on automatic updates for your software to periodically check for viruses.
• Remember to also include Windows Updates as well.
• Use open networks with caution. Invest in your wifi hotspot on your phone to prevent unwanted data breaches from suspicious open networks.

OVERVIEW:

“Keep it simple, stupid!” – A design principle noted by the U.S. Navy

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about keeping your business “Simple.” Jason shares one of the most common traps new business owners fall into – chasing “Shiny Objects” or feeling the need to be “Extraordinary.” You don't need to do extraordinary things to achieve extraordinary results, and in this episode, Jason explains why. Tune in until the end to hear about Jason's new rank-topping book!

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• “Keep it simple, stupid” is a powerful motto Jason has followed since he heard it from his high school teacher.
• People often believe they need to be wildly “extraordinary” and accomplish “complex” feats. In an interview, Warren Buffet once said, “you don't have to do exceptional things to get exceptional results.”
• Instead of doing extraordinary things, strive to do simple things extraordinarily.
• In business, complex systems can cost you effectiveness and efficiency. Keep things at a level where it's easy for everyone to understand.
• Simple systems and processes benefit you during turnover, as it isn't difficult to pass on responsibilities if they are easy to understand. Pursue businesses that are simple and boring but deliver exceptional results.
• Business owners who dislike doing “boring” work and are distracted and chase down new, exciting, shiny objects usually deliver subpar results.
• Moving from “good to great” and “great to exceptional” takes a lot of time, effort, repetition, and going through the “boring” things that feel as if they don't make any progress.
• As an example, Jason and his team are in the process of simplifying their business. He will consolidate his different business entities into one overarching brand called “Healthcare Boss” to avoid the complexity of using several accounts for several apps.

In business, every single second of every single team member counts, so in this episode, Jason teaches us how to streamline workflows and maximize efficiency and productivity through automation, software, and A.I. tools.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• All businesses run on a series of workflows, wherein much of what our team members or we do is repetitive. Jason runs us through his repetitive workflow when producing and publishing his podcast as an example.
• Jason learned some of his workflow efficiency strategies from Richard Winters, part of his Mastermind Group and a previous guest on this podcast.
• Document every step of your or your team's tasks or job functions. All the individual steps in these processes require multiple clicks and much time. We can optimize any workflow by reducing repetitive tasks to a minimum. To help streamline his business processes, Jason ensures he's always up-to-date with the latest software and technology and utilizes whatever is most beneficial.
• A Standard Operating Procedure (S.O.P.) is a step-by-step list of instructions for doing something in your business. Start utilizing S.O.P.s, software tools, and automation strategies while your business is small. Once your business grows and is at max capacity, it'll be difficult to build these systems.
• A benefit of having S.O.P.s is it makes turnovers easier, as all the tasks new people need to be trained on are all located in the same place.

OVERVIEW:

Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity. Don't fight them. Just find a new way to stand.” – Oprah Winfrey.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the Realities of Entrepreneurship through the "Bell Curve of Entrepreneurship." In this episode, Jason shares his advice on how to deal with frustration as a business owner, a challenge he has faced lately in his business, and how he overcome that situation.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Bell Curve of Entrepreneurship consists of X and Y axes, wherein the Y-axis indicates the probability, while the X-axis indicates the distribution of the dataset.
• Most entrepreneurs running decent businesses are in the middle (mean score) of the bell curve.
• On one side of the bell curve is Extreme Satisfaction or Elation, On the other side is Extreme Dissatisfaction or Frustration.
• As an entrepreneur, you won't always be satisfied with your business. There will be days when you will feel extreme frustration.
• One common challenge businesses face is finding great talent with adequate leadership skills, especially in marketing. It takes a lot of work to find online marketing experts. Those with marketing degrees are often into traditional marketing instead of the newer digital marketing. Marketing is one of the most critical business components you should invest in. You need a strong marketing arm to keep up with your business plans.
• Frustration is normal and makes you better. Don't beat yourself up about it. Keep your eyes on the prize, focus, and always seek the advice of experts who've overcome your same struggle multiple times.
• Jason recommends joining Masterminds to get together with like-minded experts miles ahead in their progress. If joining Masterminds has yet to be an option, you may also join communities.

OVERVIEW:

"When the customer comes first, the customer will last." - Robert Half

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the Value Ladder, a vital strategy to scale your business. In this episode, Jason shares the importance of the Value Ladder, how it can increase Customer Lifetime Value, and the examples of services included in his Value Ladder.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Jason enumerates various products and services that are part of his Value Ladder.
• The Value Ladder consists of low-level to high-level services. With each step up the value ladder, the higher the investment and the higher the value for the customers.
• The first step in Jason's Value Ladder is free services such as his Podcast and Newsletters.
• The second step is Jason's book, "Clinic Launch Secrets," launching soon.
• The third step is Jason's courses: Ketamine Academy, IV Therapy Academy, and the newly launched Med Spa Launch Academy.

• Jason and his team are working on tiers even higher than that, such as SEO tools.

• No matter the kind of business you own, always have free content or services available to your customers. Jason recommends sharing free content on YouTube as it's the second-largest search engine and is run by Google.

• As a customer, with free content, you have to do all the work yourself. However, when you pay more, you're paying for best practices to save yourself from potential mistakes of financial losses.
• Not everyone immediately jumps to the higher tiers. They may start with the free content or services and then move up when they're interested in more advanced services.
• The biggest challenge for clinic owners is the marketing of their service, lead generation, and customer retention.
• The essence of the Value Ladder is to keep your patients coming back or the Lifetime Customer Value (LCV).

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the Product Life Cycle and what it means for your business. In this episode, we'll learn how Cash Generation ties in with Cash Usage as Jason elaborates on the Growth Share Matrix and its four quadrants. Tune into this episode to learn more about leveraging your business income!

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Jason uses the BCG matrix, a diagram that helps to put things into perspective what big companies go through when they have multiple products and divisions and they're trying to work towards the following product or service line. The BCG Matrix is also referred to as the Growth Share Matrix. This applies to you if you have a business, big or small, whatever industry.
• If you want to keep growing, you must leverage your Cash Cow's revenue to start a new product or service line.
• The problem with cash cows is that the product can die down. The delivery can get stale, and new competition can come in.”
• You can't just sit on one Cash Cow and expect it to last forever. What most businesses do is they'll invest the money earned from that Cash Cow.
• Throughout the episode, Jason discusses different services they're working on as an example of how to leverage the BCG Matrix.
• While this isn't a hard rule, Jason suggests not putting all your time and investment into “Dogs” because that's not where the business growth opportunities are.
• Solving your existing customers' problems is much better for ROI and increases your Customer Lifetime Value (CLV).

“Good things happen to those who hustle.” – Anais Nin

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the proper way to execute your side hustle. Coming from experience, Jason shares how side hustles should be done discreetly and wisely when you have a full-time job and the possible consequences of not doing so. Tune in until the end to hear about Jason's upcoming mastermind and book launch!

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Many individuals start their side hustles while working full-time for an employer. Jason highly encourages you to start a side hustle.
• Don't burn bridges along the way.
• Be careful not to let your employer find out about your side hustle, as they could view it as you not being fully committed to your job. In the worst-case scenario, you might get an ultimatum from your employer.
• If you are pursuing a side hustle, do it discreetly without revealing the details to everyone. Once your business is enough to sustain your cost of living, transition out of your job, which is what Jason did.
• To do your side hustle discreetly, refrain from doing things that will draw a lot of attention to you being the business owner, such as having your name in the business and having your face revealed on the business' website.
• Share your business ideas and express your enthusiasm only to your clients, team, and family, not your co-workers.
• There are substantial tax advantages, your business could scale and exceed the income from your full-time job, it is fun and challenging, and you have complete autonomy.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Rebecca Weiss' entrepreneurial journey began when she decided to leave a job she didn't enjoy, was bombarded with clients, and wasn't able to give her clients complete care as much as she wanted.
• As a proponent of Direct Primary Care, she believes in making medicine affordable, getting rid of 3rd-party insurance, and making patients' generic medications cheaper.
• Rebecca doesn't buy warranties for her devices. Instead, she pays for any repairs separately, which is more cost-effective in the long run.
• Draw the line between employer and employee. Don't abuse her authority. She ensures that everyone feels valued and is part of the family.
• Figure out what motivates your employees to ensure a healthy work environment.
• Spend money on marketing. Get the ball rolling, and once your brand is known, you can cut back your costs.
• You don’t need every device to start your business.
• Don't be married to a brand, and don't fall for the sales pitch. Maintain rational decision-making above all else.

“Best known always beats the best product.” - Jodelle Yount

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about Search Engine Optimization and how it can help you grow your business. In this episode, Jason shares his experience with SEO, several components you should take note of, and how his business has grown and reached more audiences because of it. Tune into this episode to hear about a special service Jason wants to offer to his loyal podcast listeners.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Optimizing your clinic's website so various search engines can discover your website and rank it higher on searches.
• Get into the top 3-5 search rankings. An overwhelming majority of search clicks happen on the first 5 search results that pop up.
• Without SEO, to get people to your website, expect to pay a lot for ads, market yourself on social media, or rely on word-of-mouth referrals.
• The current recommendation is to have blog posts of no less than 500 words. The more words, the better, as long as they're high-quality keywords and topics. Ideally, you would want a blog or multiple blogs with relevant keywords and topics posted per week.
• Google has Web Crawlers which are AI that go to every page on every website and scans the data in the website.
• When writing blogs, consider which text you format as Headings as those are the tags targeted by Google when scanning pages.
• You can't duplicate content because Google tracks it and puts it lower on the search rankings.

OVERVIEW:

To have it, you have to want it.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, discusses defining your goal and achieving it. Jason teaches us how to block our time each day and identify if what we do each day is aligned with our goals. If you feel like you’re falling short of what you want, tune into this episode.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• If you have big goals but haven't met those goals yet, Jason challenges you to do things differently.
• The overwhelming majority of successful people are not any smarter than the average person. However, they manage their time way better than the average person.
• One of the things that Thomas Jefferson did was manage his time into blocks. Jason recommends starting out by blocking your 24 hours a day to 4 hours each, leaving you with 6 chunks of 4-hour time blocks. 2 chunks (8 hours) are usually dedicated for sleep, leaving you with 4 chunks (16 hours).
• You have to make some extra sacrifices because you have less time in the day to build what you need to build.
• What separates high-level entrepreneurs from others is their ability to utilize their time to generate value better than the average person.
• Redefine your goals based on what you're willing to give up and sacrifice.
• If you want to be in the 1%, you have to do what the 1% does. There's nothing wrong with not striving to be part of the 1%. The idea is to understand exactly what you want and set your priorities accordingly.

"If you spend your time doing something else, it means you valued that more than your goal. In other words, you didn't want your goal bad enough." – Jason A. Duprat

OVERVIEW:

Rest is part of productivity.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about taking the pressure off of being an entrepreneur. In today’s episode, Jason’s text community asks for advice on how to step away from the pressure of running their business and focus on downtime. If you’re an entrepreneur who feels almost burnt out, working 24/7 non-stop while chasing success, this episode is for you.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Join Jason's text community, and send a message to 386-284-4955.
• Community Question #1: "How do you not feel like you need to be working in your business 24/7 so you can prioritize some downtime?"
• Jason was part of a mastermind group called 2CCX Mastermind with Russell Brunson. Jason's mindset Coach, Lindsey, was using a framework that was really common in the therapy and coaching space:
  • "Your circumstances influence your thoughts. Your thoughts impact how you feel emotionally. How you feel emotionally is going to have a lot of control over the actions you take."
• You have no control over your circumstances, but you have control over your thoughts.
• If you're hitting 80-85% of what you would generally target, you're on the right trajectory and can make improvements to reach higher.
• Community Question #2: "How do I get comfortable stepping away from my clinic?"
• People commonly think that no one can do what they do as well as they can. If you're hiring the right people, that won't happen.
• Hire people who can do 80-85% of what you would normally do in terms of quality and standard. Have the proper training, systems, and procedures in place to delegate responsibilities while you're away.

OVERVIEW:

“If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.” – Warren Buffet

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, answers a question from his text community regarding making big purchases. In this episode, Jason runs us through a step-by-step calculation to determine whether or not an expensive purchase is worth it.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Jason features a question from his text community. The inquirer recently opened a MedSpa and is looking to purchase expensive equipment. They’re wondering if now would be the right time to continue with that purchase.
• Purchasing the equipment will add five additional services to what they can offer. There are no consumables related to those offers, and they can buy the laser at a discount.
• Jason recommends going back to the numbers. Typically, you don't want to finance anything that loses you money. However, in business, if you can buy something and pay for it over time while it makes you money, it's called Leveraging.
• You can look up free Amortization Calculators on Google.
• Don't focus so much on that big number. Instead, focus on the monthly payments and the number of patients required to execute and pay for this particular device.
• The first rule of business is to use Leverage to grow your business and your income.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“If you want to get an opportunity to buy an expensive piece of equipment, try and sit on it for a day or two. Don't let anybody pressure you into making quick, rapid decisions. Let your emotions simmer down and look at it from a rational, financial standpoint.” – Jason A. Duprat

“The more detail you can include in terms of your information gathering, the better your decision-making will be.” – Jason A. Duprat

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Guy Friedman, CEO and Co-Founder at SteadyMD and HigherNext. In this episode, Guy shares the story of how he built his businesses from the ground up, the rationale behind each process, and how virtual care has contributed to the massive change in our healthcare system. Tune in to learn more about the greatest instrument he's wielded since childhood: his mindset.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Guy grew up questioning things and thinking of new innovative solutions to any problem he could think of. He started venturing into start-ups around 2010, then later translated his businesses into telehealth and digital health
• SteadyMD was the highest version of virtual primary care you could access online in 2017.
• In 2020, they had an influx of other digital health companies asking to hire Guy's clinicians on their platform. This signaled the existence of a large market, so they geared the business into an on-demand 50-state clinician workforce wherein digital health companies can tap into.
• When hiring programmers, Guy recommends outsourcing from other countries for cost-effectiveness but always prefers to have at least one person from the US.
• Guy spent six months doing extensive research on telehealth, and digital health, and identifying how the healthcare industry could be improved for all.
• In fundraising, resign yourself to having hundreds of meetings and repeating yourself a lot. Do your best and keep grinding. Don't get discouraged and impatient. Treat it as a rite of passage, a battle you have to get through.
• Be diligent when listening to questions and adjust your pitch based on those, not on what you think is the most convincing argument.
• There's no excuse for not knowing everything about your industry, company, and competitors. With the convenience of the internet today, there's no excuse for not keeping up with the industry happenings. You can't fail if you don't give up.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the importance of staying organized and shares what he's learned after years of running a business. He also discusses a great software tool that will help you manage your projects, team, and communications more efficiently.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Making mental to-do lists, using sticky notes, or keeping track of tasks through a calendar is fine, but having a systematized way to handle everything that needs to get done for your business is an absolute must.
• Asana is one of the best software tools Jason uses across multiple projects. One of the benefits is creating teams and managing communications for specific projects within the software program. Asana can be used to organize personal tasks as well, which is something Jason does. When you log in to the dashboard, you can easily see your to-do list for the day.
• Letting a software program organize your tasks or to-do lists leaves your mind free to think and work more creatively.
• Projects aren't stressful; the details are. Become a production expert and alleviate stress. One great software tool to help you do this is Asana.
• Communicating via email can be confusing and it can quickly create disorganization when several people are involved in a single project. This is particularly true if you're working with dozens of contractors, freelancers, and staff.

OVERVIEW:

Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there is also a love for humanity.” – Hippocrates

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks with Hilary Bricken, Partner and Attorney, and Ethan Minkin, Attorney with Harris Bricken, an international law firm. Hilary and Ethan discuss the legalities of psychedelics and ketamine. They also highlight the value of entrepreneurship for moving psychedelic efficacy and advocacy forward.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Ethan started his law career in 1999 with an interest in healthcare regulatory work, litigation, and transaction. He joined Harris Bricken 1.5 years ago with a focus on psychedelics.
• Hilary is a partner at Harris Bricken, and her expertise is in controlled substances regulation, legal reform, and policy reform.
• Psychedelics and ketamine have a potentially broader reach if regulations are relaxed.
• The path of entrepreneurship is critical for building a full suite of services for psychedelics.
• Hilary and Ethan are proponents of off-label ketamine because it’s innovative, guarantees an income stream, and is advantageous over its traditional use.
• Controlled substances can be prescribed through telemedicine under certain circumstances. Ketamine should be part of a treatment plan and not a one-stop option. Therapists and psychologists should be involved in a patient’s care plan.
• In the last three years, many clinics have added mental health therapy as part of their provider services. Combining ketamine and concierge care is possible as long as it's compliant with laws and regulations.
• False advertising is penalized under consumer protection laws, so credible studies must be cited in the literature.

TWEETABLE QUOTES

• “A first-mover advantage is a thing, but if it’s ketamine, you’re dealing with a very antiquated, heavily regulated, extremely consequential system, so proceed accordingly.” – Hilary Bricken
• “If you’re treating someone for a mental health issue, make sure they’re also seeing a therapist or a psychologist, and not just getting ketamine and being sent on their way.” - Ethan Minkin

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about creating a roadmap to becoming financially free through pseudo-passive income. He weighs in on three methods to do this. He also presents the advantages of owning a business - especially a medical practice - as one of the most effective methods for achieving financial gains using pseudo-passive income.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• There’s no such thing as passive income because you always need to do initial legwork and research. Jason prefers to call it pseudo-passive income and has identified three methods for this type of income to become financially free.

  • One method is to decrease expenses. There are several experts on YouTube talking about how best to do this, many in the homestead space. This method also includes penny-pinching, clipping coupons, or searching for the best deals. This can be referred to as living a scarcity lifestyle.
  • The second method is to increase your income by starting new businesses and building new revenue-generating streams. This is often referred to as choosing an abundant lifestyle.
  • The third method is a hybrid model. It includes getting rid of bad debt and keeping your expenses reasonable while also increasing income.
  • If you’re a budding entrepreneur, it’s better to build a new business from scratch rather than buy one and leverage its debt. When you build a business, you develop the necessary skills required to be an owner and generate cash flow.
  • The ultra-rich invest and reinvest their cash flow into assets that don’t require a lot of work. They build businesses they can eventually extract themselves from so the business can run on its own and/or by a team. This provides a compound effect that has the potential to massively change your life.
  • Jason encourages healthcare professionals to consider creating a business by owning a practice. Leverage the skills and the healthcare knowledge you have to further develop business skills. Then, hire an RN, NP, practice manager, and/or physician.
  • Have a plan in place and get the balling rolling!

OVERVIEW:

“Play by the rules, but be ferocious.” – Phil Knight

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, relives the discussion about a widely-requested topic of Medical Directors. Do you need a Medical Director? How do you find a Medical Director? How much should you pay a Medical Director? Tune into this episode as Jason dives deep into each of these questions.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• A Medical Director’s role would include overviewing everything clinical-related in your practice, such as protocols, forms, standing orders, etc.
• If you don’t have a healthcare license, you need a Medical Director to oversee your practice. In some states, a physician is required to be the Medical Director and, sometimes, even own the medical practice or run a Management Services Organization.
• Review your state’s Nurse Practice Act to see if you can practice independently.
• To find a Medical Director, start by scouring your network with someone you know, like, and trust or posting on job sites with a thoroughly detailed job description.
• Be prepared to pay a professional salary. A Medical Director’s fee would be somewhere in the range of $750-$1,500 or more per month, depending on various factors.
• Have a backup plan. Use platforms to hire your Medical Director, and it will save you tons of time and money in instances where businesses shut down due to the absence of a Medical Director.

“Burnout is a byproduct of a dysfunctional work environment.” – Joy Energy Time

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, dives deep into the world of high achievers, their struggles, and the game-changing solutions to overcome burnout. Dr. Sharon Grossman is a psychologist, coach, and author specializing in helping high achievers transform from exhausted to extraordinary. With over 19 years of experience, she has worked with physicians, entrepreneurs, and nurses, guiding them to regain control over their lives and thrive. Her book, "The 7E Solution to Burnout: Transforming High Achievers from Exhausted to Extraordinary," has helped countless individuals find balance and success in their personal and professional lives.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Sharon Grossman is a psychologist turned coach who focuses on helping physicians and entrepreneurs manage burnout. She transitioned from therapy to coaching, as she was more passionate about coaching and wanted to focus on something that had a significant impact on people's lives.
• A lot of people experience burnout without really understanding what it is, so she made it her mission to educate the public about burnout, its signs, and its symptoms. The way she defines burnout is chronic stress, which is different from acute stress, and it starts to take a toll on a person when they keep coming up against the same problems again and again.
• Burnout happens for different reasons, such as working in a toxic work environment or having too much work to do in a short amount of time.
• Sharon helps her clients manage their minds, optimize their time, and change their relationship with themselves to prevent burnout and enjoy their work without overwhelm.
• Emotional exhaustion is a common symptom of burnout that drains energy and can lead to negative thoughts. Changing scenery or location can help break the pattern of burnout.
• A customized recovery strategy that targets individual contributing factors is essential to combat burnout.
• Decoding your burnout to identify contributing factors, including examining your programming, environmental stressors, and other parts of your life.

“Psychologically, burnout can lead to increased irritability, difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, and a decreased sense of accomplishment or satisfaction with work. In more severe cases, it may contribute to feelings of detachment.” – Sharon Grossman

• High-level masterminds allow you to shift your mindset and open your eyes so you can improve your business.
• Pursue continuous learning and ways to improve so you can get to that next level.
• When you attend a high-level mastermind, you won't walk away with a single golden nugget. Instead, you'll receive a dozen golden nuggets to help you tweak your business to achieve incremental growth.

OVERVIEW:

"Teaching in the Internet age means we must teach tomorrow's skills today.” – Jennifer Fleming

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, explains why he no longer provides one-on-one coaching or consulting. He highlights the advantages of transitioning to group coaching and creating online courses to help scale your business.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Jason generously shared his expertise in ketamine therapy by offering personalized consulting sessions from late 2017 to early 2018. His mission was to pay it forward and support others along their journey.
• Personalized consulting is effective but time-consuming and limited in growth potential.
• As an entrepreneur, it's crucial to build assets that generate consistent income and contribute to your financial stability.
• Instead of trading your time for money, focus on building assets that generate an income passively.
• Opting for group coaching and online learning can help you utilize your time more efficiently, allowing you to build assets that pay you more per hour and reach a larger audience.
• If you're a new business owner, Jason recommends starting with one-on-one coaching to hone your skills and share your experiences. As you become more proficient, you can transition to group coaching.
• If you have a business that's 100% dependent on you and your ability to produce, you simply own your job.
• Recognize and appreciate your own achievements, and then use your experience to empower others to do the same.
• Turn your superpower into a business that can generate $5-10k per month. For Jason, his side hustle in ketamine therapy blew up. He now offers three online courses – the Cash-Based Practice course, the Ketamine Academy, and the IV Therapy Academy. The Ketamine and the IV programs generate more than six figures per month.

OVERVIEW:

"It’s fine to celebrate success, but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure." — Bill Gates

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Boss Academy podcast, sits down with Dave Soltau, Co-Founder of Advanced Clinical Associates & A.C.A. Wellness Institute, Public Speaker, and Author of "The Student Entrepreneur." With multiple decades of experience in entrepreneurship and the people business, Dave has gone through both hardships and historical success in his career. Tune into this episode to learn more about his journey and hear his advice for starting.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Chasing "shiny objects" are always exciting, but the problem is that you'll always be starting from scratch with each new thing you chase.
• If you build your business from scratch, it will take a long time. However, if you buy an existing business, you may be buying a problem or an established potential success that tired owners have let go of.
• If a business relies on keeping a patient healthy, when that patient passes away, that business will die down along with them. It's safer to have a larger volume of clients over one or two that generate a lot of money.
• Your greatest assets are the essential people in your company who you put in the right seats.
• Many entrepreneurs stop in their tracks due to several possible reasons. One big reason could be the failure to reach the R.O.I. they envisioned.
• Mission first, people always. As long as you're taking good care of great people, there's no reason why you can't excel in this industry.
• To contact Dave, please visit their website at advancedclinicalaz.com or email him at dave@advancedclinicalaz.com. He is always available on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.

OVERVIEW:

"Keep it simple, stupid!" - A design principle noted by the U.S. Navy

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about keeping your business "Simple." Jason shares one of the most common traps new business owners fall into – chasing "Shiny Objects" or feeling the need to be "Extraordinary." You don't need to do extraordinary things to achieve extraordinary results, and in this episode, Jason explains why. Tune in until the end to hear about Jason's new rank-topping book!

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Always think of ways to simplify your business processes.
2. Don't overthink, and don't overcomplicate.
3. Think forward to the impact of your decision years down the line.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• "Keep it simple, stupid" is a powerful motto Jason has followed since he heard it from his high school teacher.
• People often believe they need to be wildly "extraordinary" and accomplish "complex" feats.
• In an interview, Warren Buffet once said, "you don't have to do exceptional things to get exceptional results."
• Instead of doing extraordinary things, strive to do simple things extraordinarily.
• In business, complex systems can cost you effectiveness and efficiency. Keep things at a level where it's easy for everyone to understand.
• Simple systems and processes benefit you during turnover, as it isn't difficult to pass on responsibilities if they are easy to understand.
• Pursue businesses that are simple and boring but deliver exceptional results.
• Business owners who dislike doing "boring" work and are distracted and chase down new, exciting, shiny objects usually deliver subpar results.
• Moving from "good to great" and "great to exceptional" takes a lot of time, effort, repetition, and going through the "boring" things that feel as if they don't make any progress.
• As an example, Jason and his team are in the process of simplifying their business. He will consolidate his different business entities into one overarching brand called "Healthcare Boss" to avoid the complexity of using several accounts for several apps.

OVERVIEW:

“Efficiency is doing better what is already being done.” – Peter Drucker

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the importance of systems and processes. In business, every single second of every single team member counts, so in this episode, Jason teaches us how to streamline workflows and maximize efficiency and productivity through automation, software, and A.I. tools. Tune in until the end to learn more about Jason's book!

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Document every step of your team's tasks or job functions.
2. Use software tools to lessen the risk of human errors.
3. Build systems and processes while your business is still small or has yet to start.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• All businesses run on a series of workflows, wherein much of what our team members or we do is repetitive.
• In today's episode, Jason runs us through his repetitive workflow when producing and publishing his podcast as an example.
• Jason learned some of his workflow efficiency strategies from Richard Winters, part of his Mastermind Group and a previous guest on this podcast.
• Document every step of your or your team's tasks or job functions.
• A summary of Jason's workflow is that he records his podcast episodes and uploads the individual audio and video files on Google Drive to pass on to his podcast team. The team then has its own workflow with multiple steps from editing to publishing.
• All the individual steps in these processes require multiple clicks and much time. We can optimize any workflow by reducing repetitive tasks to a minimum.
• To help streamline his business processes, Jason ensures he's always up-to-date with the latest software and technology and utilizes whatever is most beneficial.
• Jason used to record his Podcast with his Rodecaster Pro and transfer the files to his desktop afterward. To make things easier, he now records on Riverside.fm and pairs it with Zapier to automatically upload his recordings to Google Drive and notify his team.
• The Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy Podcast uses Libsyn as its hosting platform. One of Libsyn's great features is connecting to Jason's website on WordPress, wherein published episodes will automatically be uploaded to Jason's page.
• Jason and his team use software and A.I. tools for various purposes: Recording Editing, Project Management, Password Management, and many more.
• Software tools not only improve efficiency. They help reduce human errors.
• A Standard Operating Procedure (S.O.P.) is a step-by-step list of instructions for doing something in your business.
• Start utilizing S.O.P.s, software tools, and automation strategies while your business is small. Once your business grows and is at max capacity, it'll be difficult to build these systems.
• A benefit of having S.O.P.s is it makes turnovers easier, as all the tasks new people need to be trained on are all located in the same place.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

"Anytime a human is involved in anything, there's a chance of making errors. Software tools and automation help make workflow less error-prone." – Jason A. Duprat

"Build your systems and processes while your business is still small or before you even start your practice. It's hard to focus on this when your business has grown to at almost max capacity." – Jason A. Duprat

OVERVIEW:

“It’s important to remember your competitor is only one mouse click away.” - Douglas Warner III

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Justin Knott, CEO of Intrepy, a Healthcare Marketing Organization, and Host of the Patient Convert Podcast. In this episode, we dive into Justin's expertise in Marketing Strategy, Search Engine Optimization, and Paid Ads. He shares valuable tips on webpage creation, content creation, and many more. Tune in to learn how to get ahead of your competitors!

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Create unique content that brings you ahead of the game.
2. Plan a month ahead. Your time is worth more money than anything else.
3. Maximize SEO to your advantage.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Justin is the CEO of the company and is running the day-to-day operations of their business, while Kelly, his wife, is the president and co-founder, focusing on content creation and helping Justin develop their sales pipeline.
• "Google My Business" is foundational for ranking in the top three for the conditions, treatments, and surgeries you provide. If you want to rank for it, you need a page.
• If you don't create unique content that gives you a fighting chance against your competitors, you're already way behind.
• According to Justin, when maximizing Search Engine Optimization (SEO), an example is putting 2,000 words on your page to get it to rank. However, focusing 100% on SEO sacrifices your page's web development, web design, and UX design aspects, and it may result in something not so enticing for your audiences to read.
• There are two good ways to remedy this. One is relying on Video content as it can help you rank and increases your consumers' page time while watching the video.
• Another workaround is to use Accordion-Style FAQs to your advantage, wherein you move a lot of content down the page without them overloading.
• When creating your page, the two most important things to include in a title tag are "What you do" and "Where you're at."
• The second most important piece is the H1 tag, typically a big, bold page title.
• After these, it all comes down to what the readers will see when they read your page.
• To maximize SEO for your page, ensure you have good section headers, as they're what Google Crawlers observe when scanning your page.
• If you're creating video content, you're ahead of the game. Many competitors generally never venture into video content because they "over-complicate."
• When starting something, don't overthink it, and keep it simple. Example: When creating video content, buy simple equipment, just the bare minimum of what you need. Not overthinking things means you're more likely to get it done.
• For video content, Justin highly recommends hosting on YouTube. It's the second-largest search engine and is owned by Google.
• Entering the top 3 Google Search Rankings should be your focus. 80-90% of all organic search clicks are pulled from the top 3 search results.
• Backlinks are links on any website that's not yours that point back to your page. They help build domain authority quickly by showing Google that other pages trust your page enough to provide your link on their page.
• Feel free to connect with Justin Knott on LinkedIn.
• If you need marketing assistance, visit www.intrepy.com to connect with their agency.
• They have a podcast called Patient Convert Podcast.
• They also have a free practice assessment. If you're trying to figure out where you're struggling to add value or how you can grow in 2023, consider booking a call with Justin.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

"If you're doing video, you're ahead of the game. A lot of physicians, surgeons, practices in general never get started on video because they way overcomplicate it." – Justin Knott

"Plan a month ahead. That's probably the biggest thing that I encourage physicians. Your schedule is crazier than anybody else's, and your time is worth more money than anybody else's." – Justin Knott

OVERVIEW:

“People are not your most important asset. The right people are.” – Jim Collins

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the best practices when hiring for managerial roles. In this episode, Jason recalls his experiences with recent mis-hires, his key takeaways to avoid potential hiring mistakes, and red flags to consider when screening applicants. Tune in until the end to learn more about his recently launched book!

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Don't hire managers with potential. Hire those with experience.
2. Don't ever lowball your offer. If you want top-tier talent, you must be willing to pay well.
3. Don't hire entrepreneurs. Hire intrapreneurs.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Jason recently had mis-hires for the marketing director position of his business.
• He's since learned from these experiences and has solidified his hiring process.
• He's also received advice from his mastermind group, the Board of Experts by Anik Singal.
• For your business to grow 3x or 5x, you'd want to hire someone with proven experience.
• Use personality tests to identify an applicant's compatibility with a role.
• Jason suggests doing a minimum of three interviews to evaluate an applicant thoroughly.
• He also recommends having other critical people in the business interview the applicants since they'll potentially be working with them. If even one interviewer isn't assured with an applicant, they won't go any further in the hiring process.
• Write precise job descriptions with included KPIs they'll be responsible for.
• To attract great people, ensure a great working environment with excellent company culture.
• Hire people who fit your company's culture and core values.
• Hire people who are genuinely passionate about what they do, not those who work for money alone.
• From Alex Hormozi: Don't hire entrepreneurs. Hire intrapreneurs.
• Avoid hiring unemployed managers, as they may be underperformers who were terminated.
• Go to https://mybook.to/cliniclaunchsecrets to purchase Jason's book for only 99 cents.
• Leave a rating and review on www.jasonduprat.com/review to receive a free audiobook version recorded by Jason for a limited time only.

• You may shortcut your process with the help of assistants and consultants, but sometimes you have to do the work yourself.
• Jason's next challenge with his book launch is needing Amazon Reviews.
• The solution they thought of is, for one time only, to offer the book as a Kindle version for ¢99 on March 12-18.
• Jason highly recommends the book as it contains high-quality content, some even taken directly from his courses.

OVERVIEW:

"Fortune favors the bold." – Latin Proverb

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Joey Ferry, Nurse Entrepreneur, Co-Founder of Frontier Innovations Inc., and Co-Inventor of the Award-Winning SafeSeizure Pad. In this episode, we hear the story of how two innovative minds came together to revolutionize Healthcare through their Entrepreneurial vision. From the challenges they've overcome to the solutions they create, Joey's innovation paved the path toward their "good fortune."

3 KEY POINTS:

1. You'll get to where you need to be, but take it one step at a time.
2. To start a business, know what you're good at and talk to people about that.
3. Sales expertise boils down to repetition.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Joey has a strong passion for entrepreneurship, even as a child.
• He once veered away from his Entrepreneurial passion and pursued Nursing for its financial security.
• Later, upon meeting his now business partner, Taofiki, he realized he could pursue both Entrepreneurship and Healthcare without sacrificing either.
• They discovered they had the same entrepreneurial passion and decided to work together towards a common goal.
• Joey creates products for ether two reasons:
• Solving a problem and providing convenience, even without much financial gain
• Creating a viable and potential business opportunity
• When creating prototypes, it doesn't have to be the final product. You simply want to test, feel, and play with it.
• Be okay with accepting the solution that might look different than when you first started.
• Joey and Taofiki are registered nurses who invented a new way to pad bed rails for patients on seizure precautions in the hospital setting.
• They source their materials from Alibaba from a manufacturer who can make the products in their desired dimensions.
• Once their business got off the ground, the product's revenue fueled itself.
• They once had struggles with their inventory. Fortunately, they won the 2020 Innovation Award and received $50,000, wherein half was directly invested in solving their inventory concerns.
• Joey recommends Wave Apps, a free software for new businesses for handling invoices, adding various products, adding customers, etc.
• Joey recommends upgrading to a paid tool when your business begins to scale.
• Sales expertise boils down to repetition. If you're not too experienced in sales yet, you might feel as if you're "bothering" people.
• Joey and Taofiki maintain a solid personal connection with their customers by signing emails with their names and including their contact numbers.
• To know more about SafeSeizure, visit their website at https://www.safeseizure.com/

OVERVIEW:

“Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity. Don't fight them. Just find a new way to stand.” – Oprah Winfrey

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the Realities of Entrepreneurship through the "Bell Curve of Entrepreneurship." In this episode, Jason shares his advice on how to deal with frustration as a business owner, a challenge he has faced lately in his business, and how he overcome that situation.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. You won't always be satisfied with your business, but that frustration will improve you.
2. It takes a lot of work to attract top talent, especially for a small business.
3. Marketing is one of the most critical components of a business.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• For podcast listeners, a video version of the episode will be released on YouTube, showcasing the graphs Jason mentioned throughout the episode.
• Jason's Bell Curve of Entrepreneurship consists of X and Y axes, wherein the Y-axis indicates the probability, while the X-axis indicates the distribution of the dataset.
• Most entrepreneurs running decent businesses are in the middle (mean score) of the bell curve.
• The bell curve can be Extreme Satisfaction or Elation.
• On the other side is Extreme Dissatisfaction or Frustration.
• As an entrepreneur, you won't always be satisfied with your business. There will be days when you will feel extreme frustration.
• One common challenge businesses face is finding great talent with adequate leadership skills, especially in marketing.
• It takes a lot of work to find online marketing experts. Those with marketing degrees are often into traditional marketing instead of the newer digital marketing.
• Frustration is normal and makes you better. Don't beat yourself up about it. Keep your eyes on the prize, focus, and always seek the advice of experts who've overcome your same struggle multiple times.
• It's challenging to attract top talent as a relatively unknown small business.
• Marketing is one of the most critical business components you should invest in. You need a strong marketing arm to keep up with your business plans.
• Jason recommends joining Masterminds to get together with like-minded experts miles ahead in their progress. If joining
• Masterminds has yet to be an option, you may also join communities.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

"Not every day are you going to be satisfied with your business. There are going to be moments of frustration, and that's the reality of business." – Jason A. Duprat

"If you're going through frustration in your business, it is normal. Keep your eye on the prize, stay focused, and listen to advice from entrepreneurs with a lot more experience." – Jason A. Duprat

"When the customer comes first, the customer will last."

• Robert Half

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the Value Ladder, a vital strategy to scale your business. In this episode, Jason shares the importance of the Value Ladder, how it can increase Customer Lifetime Value, and the examples of services included in his Value Ladder. Tune in until the end to learn more about Jason's upcoming services and book launch!

3 KEY POINTS:

1. No matter your business, always have free content or services available to your customers.
2. The biggest challenge for clinic owners is marketing, lead generation, and customer retention.
3. The Value Ladder helps you increase your Customer Lifetime Value.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Jason enumerates various products and services that are part of his Value Ladder.
• The Value Ladder consists of low-level to high-level services.
• With each step up the value ladder, the higher the investment and the higher the value for the customers.
• • The first step in Jason's Value Ladder is free services such as his Podcast and Newsletters.
  • The second step is Jason's book, "Clinic Launch Secrets," launching soon.
  • The third step is Jason's courses: Ketamine Academy, IV Therapy Academy, and the newly launched Med Spa Launch Academy.
  • Jason and his team are working on tiers even higher than that, such as SEO tools and Mastermind events.
• No matter the kind of business you own, always have free content or services available to your customers.
• Jason recommends sharing free content on YouTube as it's the second-largest search engine run by Google.
• People with much business experience realize that when you pay more, you gain more.
• As a customer with free content, you must do all the work yourself.
• However, when you pay more, you're paying for best practices to save yourself from potential mistakes of financial losses.
• Not everyone immediately jumps to the higher tiers. They may start with the free content or services and then move up when they're interested in more advanced services.
• The biggest challenge for clinic owners is the marketing of their service, lead generation, and customer retention.
• The essence of the Value Ladder is to keep your patients coming back or the Lifetime Customer Value (LCV).
• Jason will be hosting a virtual event on May 3-5. To get notified, text Jason at 407-972-0084.

OVERVIEW:

“You don’t build a business, you build people, then people build the business.”

– Zig Ziglar

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Eric Morin, Wealth and Business coach, Forbes Speaker, Author, and CEO & Founder of Tower Leadership. Eric’s passion and wisdom for business are like no other, with expertise able to scale businesses up to tenfold in revenue. In this episode, we dive into the mind of this business expert, his story of becoming one, and his timeless advice for healthcare entrepreneurs.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Hire great talent and build great teams who can run the show.
2. Solidify your business' Executive and Operations roles.
3. Reflect on "Why" you need to scale your business and build a financial strategy around that.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Eric is an entrepreneur by nature and has always had a passion for business.
• He did consulting work for companies with up to $20 million in Revenue by himself.
• When he started a Dental Practice, he grew and scaled it so quickly that specialists asked him to help other general practitioners.
• They've taken people from $9 million to $100 million in revenue in 12 months.
• He considers taking his passion for business, finance, and math to help people grow to be "a lot of fun."
• During their start-up stages, he would focus on the business aspects while his wife, a Dentist, would focus on all the medicine.
• As a start-up, they focused on two things:
• • Pre-marketing to make sure they had patients lined up before opening the practice
  • Assembling ang great team.
• Large company leaders think, "How do assemble the best team?" while smaller company leaders try to do everything themselves, significantly hindering a business' scaling pace.
• For Eric, the thing that attracts great talent is the opportunity to show their capabilities and build their future. Get your team excited to go with you by finding out and giving what they want and showing them where their future is headed.
• When getting a business partner, you must know that person, their paradigm, and their financial strategies.
• There are only two reasons to give up equity: Capabilities or Capital
• • Does this person bring capital to the table?
  • Do they have capabilities or knowledge you don't have?
• The Executive and Operations Roles must be 100% solid and locked in for a business to scale.
• So many healthcare practices that scale do not track what made them great.
• Eric's method for scaling a business is first to identify "why" you want to scale, then to create a financial strategy around that.
• As capital rises, Growth Eats Cash. As you grow, it requires more cash, and you'll need a cash flow management strategy.
• Leadership teams in organizations can use scorecards to measure key metrics and determine whether the practice is on pace.
• Eric mentions the book "Measure What Matters" by John Doerr, which talks about systems such as OKRs that have integral in large organizations.
• Eric's business, Tower Leadership, works with healthcare entrepreneurs who have hit a roadblock and are trying to grow and scale.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the Product Life Cycle and what it means for your business. In this episode, we'll learn how Cash Generation ties in with Cash Usage as Jason elaborates on the Growth Share Matrix and its four quadrants. Tune into this episode to learn more about leveraging your business income!

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Cash Cows are the golden goose that funds your businesses.
2. What you earn from Cash Cows is invested into “Question Marks.”
3. Question Marks either become “Stars” or “Dogs.”

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Jason uses the BCG matrix, a diagram that helps to put things into perspective what big companies go through when they have multiple products and divisions, and they're trying to work towards the following product or service line.
• This applies to you if you have a business, big or small, whatever industry.
• The BCG Matrix is also referred to as the Growth Share Matrix.
• Stay tuned on YouTube for the Video version of the episode showcasing the diagram.
• • The matrix is a Four-Quadrant Graph, having X and Y axes.
  • The X-axis represents Cash Generation.
  • The Y-axis represents Cash Usage.
• In the bottom-left corner, with Low Cash Usage & High Cash Generation, is what’s called a "Cash Cow."
• If you want to keep growing, you have to leverage the revenue from your Cash Cow to start a new product or service line.
• The problem with cash cows is that the product can die down. The delivery can get stale, and new competition can come in."
• You can't just sit on one Cash Cow and expect it to last forever. What most businesses do is they'll invest the money earned from that Cash Cow.
• In the top-right corner, with Low Cash Generation & High Cash Usage, is the "Question Mark." You invest in this product or service to build it up. Everything starts as a question mark at some point.
• From a Question mark, it can quickly move over to a Star (top-left, High Cash Generation & High Cash Usage) or a dog (bottom-right, Low Cash Generation & Low Cash Usage).
• If you're very experienced, most of your question marks will turn into Stars, which is high in Cash Generation but also needs a good amount of Cash to operate continuously.
• Throughout the episode, Jason discusses different services they're working on as an example of how to leverage the BCG Matrix.
• While this isn't a hard rule, Jason suggests not putting all your time and investment into "Dogs" because that's not where the business growth opportunities are.
• Solving your existing customers' problems is much better for ROI and increases your Customer Lifetime Value (CLV).

OVERVIEW:

“Good things happen to those who hustle.” – Anais Nin

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the proper way to execute your side hustle. Coming from experience, Jason shares how side hustles should be done discreetly and wisely when you have a full-time job and the possible consequences of not doing so. Tune in until the end to hear about Jason's upcoming mastermind and book launch!

3 KEY POINTS: When starting your side hustle:

1. Don't burn bridges.
2. Do it discreetly.
3. Do it wisely.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Many individuals start their side hustles while working full-time for an employer.
• Make sure you're not burning bridges along the way.
• Be careful not to let your employer find out about your side hustle, as they could view it as you not being fully committed to your job.
• In the worst-case scenario, you might get an ultimatum from your employer.
• If you are pursuing a side hustle, do it discreetly without revealing the details to everyone.
• Many start their side hustles to leave their full-time job eventually.
• Once their business is enough to sustain their cost of living, they transition out of their job, which is what Jason did.
• To do your side hustle discreetly, refrain from doing things that will draw a lot of attention to you being the business owner, such as having your name in the business and having your face revealed on the business' website.
• Share your business ideas and express your enthusiasm only to your clients, team, and family, not your co-workers.
• Jason highly encourages you to start a side hustle.
• There are substantial tax advantages, your business could scale and exceed the income from your full-time job, it is fun and challenging, and you have complete autonomy.
• This March, Jason will be launching his book entitled "Clinic Launch Secrets." Jason will be providing more details soon.

"The wise young man or wage earner of today invests his money in real estate." – Andrew Carnegie.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Trisha Talbot, Founder of Doc Properties and Real Estate Advisor in the Healthcare Space. In this episode, Trisha shares why it's always best to hire a competent Real Estate Professional: To help you make informed decisions, find the best deals, get the most out of your Real Estate, and many more. We also learn that NOT hiring a Real Estate professional backfired for some who chose to take matters into their own hands.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Hire Real Estate Professionals who can help you make well-informed Real Estate decisions.
2. When getting into Real Estate, Hire an Accountant to help you with Tax Strategies.
3. Never own any Real Estate, even your own residence, in your name.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Trisha has always been drawn to the performance-based atmosphere.
• She got into commercial Real Estate and worked with a developer that developed medical office buildings. This launched her into her current career.
• According to Trisha, one of the best things you can do, especially if you're an entrepreneur owning your own practice, is to own the Real Estate. It offers tax advantage, appreciates, is like another business line, and is safe because you're the tenant in the building.
• When you get into Real Estate, have an accountant to help you with tax strategies.
• Any time you own a building, you want to have a lease on it. Also, you'd want to pay yourself because the income from that lease is less than paying yourself W2 income which is taxed at a higher rate.
• If you buy a building and have to manage tenants, Trisha recommends hiring a Brokerage Firm to lease it out for you because they see more deals and know how to structure negotiations with changing market conditions.
• In the Triple Net Lease, since the tenant pays all the expenses, any increase in expenses is theirs to bear.
• You should never own a piece of Real Estate, or even your own residence, in your own name. There are some Trusts where you can put your assets to protect them from malpractice insurance.
• Find a Broker you can work with to make your life easier when looking into purchasing Real Estate properties.
• You can reach Trisha through her website, https://docproperties.com/, her email ttalbot@docproperties.com, or her number 480-369-7983.
• Trisha does Healthcare Real Estate and helps Clinicians with, typically, their physician-owned Real Estate. She also does Corporate Representation work and tackles the investment side as well.

• OpenAI has also developed an A.I. System called DALL·E capable of creating images and art.
• A.I. is capable of creating outputs at the level of a human professional with decades of experience.
• Sam Altman said that there are probably opportunities to create billion and trillion-dollar companies by fine-tuning their existing models for specific industries.

Marketing is not different from Sales, but a subset of it.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Daniel Bai, CEO of CloseForChiro LLC, author, speaker, and thought leader on Sales and Marketing. In this episode, Daniel unravels the common mistakes and misconceptions that people do/have about “Sales,” “Marketing,” and “Rapport-Building.” We’ll also hear Daniel’s hot take on what Marketing is and isn’t about.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Look at Marketing from a Sales perspective.
2. Don't measure Vanity metrics.
3. Shut up about yourself and ask questions about them.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• A year into his practice, he came close to quitting because of the amount of rejection he experienced.
• He had, what we would call nowadays, a sales problem, "I did not know how to present what I do in an effective, efficient way that's consumable to the clueless member of the public across from me."
• The first step toward recovery is realizing you have a problem.
• Daniel has hit rock bottom and is sharing his story so that others don't experience the same.
• Daniel believes Marketing was a term we gave Sales because Sales is too “uncomfortable.”
• Marketing is a subset of Sales. We pay money to market and advertise ourselves because we want a return on it.
• When you do Marketing from a Sales perspective, you become very specific and problem-oriented. It positions you as a solution to that particular problem.
• The only people interested in impressions and vanity metrics are the people who make money on those platforms.
• Early on, Daniel learned the concept of STFU – Stop talking about yourself and ask specific questions in a curious and intriguing way where you're actually trying to get down to the bottom of the problem.
• Rapport is not "Please like me?" nor "How can I get this person to think I'm awesome?"
• Ask open-ended questions that allow the other person to express who they are and say what they want to say.
• Take notes from your conversations with clients. Bring those topics back up the next meeting for them to feel remembered and cared about.
• Nobody closes at 100%. You have to accept that not everyone is going to say yes. If they say no, you may not agree with their decision, but you have to respect it.
• “This is not the end all be all. You do not live or die by the answers people give you.” – If you approach it like this, there's no pressure to have people say yes.
• Based on Alex Hormozi's "The Million Dollar Offer," Daniel mentions "The offer is more accepted if the lead, client, or patient is more tenderized to the fact that you are indeed the solution to that particular problem."
• CloseForChiro is a business consulting company specifically for Chiropractors, taking good sales training diversified through all different industries and adapting it for the modern Chiropractor in a correct, ethical, streamlined, and efficient way.
• You can reach Daniel and his business through www.closeforchiro.com

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

"Customers have one very selfish need, want, and desire, and that is 'I have a problem, and I've got to know, in the shortest amount of time, is this person a solution to my problem?'" – Daniel Bai

"Marketing is a subset of Sales. It's not its own entity. It's the beginning phases of the sales cycle, and if you look at marketing from a Sales perspective, it changes what your Marketing does." – Daniel Bai

“The miracle is this: The more we share the more we have.”

— Leonard Nimoy

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the Three Types of Masterminds. In this episode, we learn the incredible purpose behind masterminds and how they can help you and your business grow exponentially. Tune into this episode to learn more about a mastermind Jason’s brewing up!

3 KEY POINTS: The Three Types of Masterminds

1. Experience-Based
2. Access or Networking-Based
3. Outcome-Based

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• There are different masterminds set up for different reasons.
• The first is Experience-Based Masterminds, where a group of entrepreneurs get together, travel to an exotic location, and work on their business while doing fun experiences.
• The second is Masterminds based on Access or Networking. The founders of these masterminds are well-connected with influential people and invite them to speak at their events. These masterminds are heavily focused on connecting you with other people who could potentially propel your business forward.

“Best known always beats best product.” - Jodelle Yount

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about Search Engine Optimization and how it can help you grow your business. In this episode, Jason shares his experience with SEO, several components you should take note of, and how his business has grown and reached more audiences because of it. Tune into this episode to hear about a special service Jason wants to offer to his loyal podcast listeners.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Aim to reach the top 5 in search rankings.
2. Choose high-quality keywords and topics.
3. Post multiple blogs with relevant keywords per week.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• It is optimizing your clinic's website so various search engines can discover your website and rank it higher on searches.
• You want to get into the top 3-5 search rankings.
• An overwhelming majority of search clicks happen on the first 5 search results that pop up.
• Without SEO, to get people to your website, expect to pay a lot for ads, market yourself on social media, or rely on word-of-mouth referrals.
• Jason has gotten his course websites to rank in the top 5 search results for different key terms.
• The current recommendation is to have blog posts of no less than 500 words. The more words, the better, as long as they're high-quality keywords and topics.
• Ideally, you would want a blog or multiple blogs with relevant keywords and topics posted per week.
• Google has Web Crawlers which are AI that go to every page on every website and scans the data in the website.
• When writing blogs, consider which text you format as Headings as those are the tags targeted by Google when scanning pages.
• Onsite SEO is the easiest to control because you have full control - posting blogs and making sure tags are there.
• There's something called Offsite SEO - Ex. Having other websites link back to your site.
• Google not only looks at the number of sites linked to your site, but the quality as well.
• If you own or are considering owning a business, one of the key things is to test the market for their interest level.
• You can't duplicate content because Google tracks it and puts it lower on the search rankings.

Leaders breed leaders, not followers.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Richard Winters, Practicing Emergency Physician, Professional Certified Coach, and Author of the Wall Street Journal Best Seller: "You're the Leader. Now what?" In this episode, Jason and Richard dive deep into what it really means to be a Leader, Manager, Mentor, Teacher, Supervisor, and Coach, and why it's important to have each hat in your toolkit. Tune into this episode for timeless wisdom every leader should hear about.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Leaders inspire others to become leaders.
2. Leaders create synergy among everyone's differences.
3. Leaders shed light on people's fears and help overcome them.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Richard recently published a wall street bestseller entitled "You're the Leader. Now What?"
• To be a better leader, be open to, understand, and discover different perspectives, and try to bring them together.
• A big part of becoming a better leader is those moments where you like you didn't do a good job and you're trying to learn how to be better. Continue to learn from mistakes and continue to learn from them.
• For Richard, leaders are individuals who help develop other leaders. They help others get the best out of a team and individuals.
• Management is more focused on what needs to be accomplished.
• Both Leadership and Management skills are crucial for any Manager/Leader.
• Richard wrote an article entitled "Four things that good leaders do when facing obstacles that bad leaders don't" talking about leaders shedding light on people's fears and worries.
• A coach helps make someone makes sense of their world.
• Many leaders are micromanagers, but that doesn't tend to work out well. Both sides will feel frustrated.
• There are three levels of delegation.
  • Assigning someone a simple task
  • Assigning someone a project, having them come up with a plan, and discuss that plan with you before moving forward
  • Assigning someone a project and letting them have full responsibility
• It's helpful to learn about each other and go through these delegation levels to gain insight into what works, what doesn't, and how we approach things.
• Richard believes in assuming the best and working from that perspective, rather than having someone earn that trust. If you're not giving your trust initially, you're giving them distrust.
• Personality tests help us give names to things, to think about the way we are, how we think, how we make decisions, how we work with others, and how we differ from others. It may not be as black and white as what's found in the test results, but it helps us have a language to understand our different approaches and how we can approach things together.

To have it, you have to want it.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about defining your goal and achieving it. As we enter a new year, Jason welcomes us with a quick reality check. He teaches us how to block our time each day and identify if what we do each day is aligned with our goals. If you feel like you’re falling short of what you want, tune into this episode.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. To achieve something, you've got to want it bad enough.
2. If you want to be in the 1%, you have to do what the 1% does.
3. Be willing to sacrifice what needs to be sacrificed.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• If you have big goals but haven't met those goals yet, Jason challenges you to do things differently.
• Successful people, average people, and you, all have the same 24 hours a day.
• The overwhelming majority of successful people are not any smarter than the average person. However, they manage their time way better than the average person.
• One of the things that Thomas Jefferson did was manage his time into blocks.
• For most people, it takes 15-40 minutes for them to get their minds into a project, which is why they're not used to task-hopping.
• Jason recommends starting out by blocking your 24 hours a day to 4 hours each, leaving you with 6 chunks of 4-hour time blocks.
• 2 chunks (8 hours) are usually dedicated for sleep, leaving you with 4 chunks (16 hours).
• If you have an 8-hour corporate job, you'll have 2 chunks (8 hours) left.
• Time spent on your personal life will probably be 1 chunk (4 hours), leaving you with 1 chunk (4 hours) left a day to grow your business.
• You have to make some extra sacrifices because you have less time in the day to build what you need to build.
• What you do in those 4 hours will be critical.
• What separates high-level entrepreneurs from others is their ability to utilize their time to generate value better than the average person.
• Some people say they want something, but their actions don't reflect what they desire.
• Redefine your goals based on what you're willing to give up and sacrifice.
• If you want to be in the 1%, you have to do what the 1% does.
• There's nothing wrong with not striving to be part of the 1%. The idea is to understand exactly what you want and set your priorities accordingly.

Rest is part of productivity.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about taking the pressure off of being an entrepreneur. In today’s episode, Jason’s text community asks for advice on how to step away from the pressure of running their business and focus on downtime. If you’re an entrepreneur who feels almost burnt out, working 24/7 non-stop while chasing success, this episode is for you.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Entrepreneurship is a marathon, not a sprint.
2. You have no control over your circumstances, but you do have control over your thoughts.
3. Have proper training, systems, and procedures for when you're not around.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• If you are interested to join Jason's text community, send a message to 407-972-0084.
• Amy P. asks "How do you not feel like you need to be working in your business 24/7 so you can prioritize some downtime?"
• Jason was part of a mastermind group called 2CCX Mastermind with Russell Brunson.
• Here, Jason's mindset Coach, Lindsey, was using a framework that was really common in the therapy and coaching space:
  • "Your circumstances influence your thoughts. Your thoughts impact how you feel emotionally. How you feel emotionally is going to have a lot of control over the actions you take."
• You have no control over your circumstances, but you have control over your thoughts.
• You have to have a really solid mindset to be doing anything that is extraordinary in life.
• You don't need to achieve everything in such a short window. Spread out your timeline a bit farther and give yourself more downtime in the in-betweens.
• If you're hitting 80-85% of what you would generally target, you're on the right trajectory and can make improvements to reach higher.
• A similar question from Noreen, another text community member, is "How do I get comfortable stepping away from my clinic?"
• People commonly think that no one can do what they do as well as they can. If you're hiring the right people, that won't happen.
• Hire people who can do 80-85% of what you would normally do in terms of quality and standard.
• Let go of the thought that only you can do it the best.
• Have the proper training, systems, and procedures in place to delegate responsibilities while you're away.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

"You can't control every single thought that enters your mind, but you can control how long that thought stays, your response to that thought, and your feelings towards that thought." – Jason A. Duprat

"You will burn out as an entrepreneur if you put too much pressure on yourself to produce a certain level of results within too short of a time period." – Jason A. Duprat

“The first rule of management is delegation. Don’t try and do everything yourself because you can’t.”

– Anthea Turner

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Beth Lachance, CEO of REVA Global Medical. Virtual Assistants have slowly been revolutionizing how the healthcare space operates, and Beth explains how. From front-desk tasks to vital back-end systems, Virtual Assistants can do it all. Tune into this episode to learn more about the beauty of hiring Virtual Assistants.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Know when you need to take something off your plate and hand it off to someone else.
2. Hire people that you know will do it better than you.
3. You can't do everything and you can't do everything well.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Beth's husband, who owned a VA company for years, underwent a business partnership break-up four years ago. After that incident, Beth quit her job and joined her husband to launch REVA Global.
• Having a deep understanding of several medical practices, Beth knew there was great potential in creating a business offering virtual medical assistance for medical practices.
• Date, if possible, before you get married. Really, really know the person you're going into business with. Learn their history and how they act with different people.
• Back then, Virtual Assistants have been popular in various industries except for the medical industry.
• The pandemic allowed the medical industry to realize that remote workers in medicine are possible.
• Virtual Assistants are capable of handling time-consuming front-desk tasks, full new patient intakes, revenue cycles, etc.
• Nurses and medical assistants should focus on patient care and assisting the physicians and be relieved of tasks that can be delegated to Virtual Assistants.
• REVA Medical Global is entirely Philippines-based. The Philippine culture works out extraordinarily well in US Healthcare. REVA's Filipino VAs all have bachelor's degrees and excellent English proficiency.
• The common pain points that Virtual Assistants help with are “scaling a business at the right pace” and “seeing more patients.”
• Hire fast, fire faster. If you know someone's not going to work out, we have to move on.
• Learn more about REVA Global Medical through www.revaglobalmd.com
• Reach Beth directly through her email beth@revaglobal.com

“If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.”

– Warren Buffet

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, answers a question from his text community regarding making big purchases. In this episode, Jason runs us through a step-by-step calculation to determine whether or not an expensive purchase is worth it. Wait for the YouTube version of this episode to see his calculations on-screen!

3 KEY POINTS: When deciding on a big purchase

1. Always go back to the numbers.
2. Let your emotions simmer down.
3. The more information you gather, the better your decision-making.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Jason features a question from his text community. The inquirer recently opened a MedSpa and is looking to purchase expensive equipment. They’re wondering if now would be the right time to continue with that purchase.
• Purchasing the equipment will add five additional services to what they can offer, there are no consumables related to those offers, and they can buy the laser at a discount.
• For these cases, Jason recommends going back to the numbers.
• Typically, you don't want to finance anything that loses you money. However, in business, if you can buy something and pay for it over time while it makes you money, it's called Leveraging.
• You can look up free Amortization Calculators on Google.
• Don't focus so much on that big number. Instead, focus on the monthly payments and the number of patients required to execute and pay for this particular device.
• The first rule of business is to use Leverage to grow your business and your income.
• The calculations discussed throughout the episode are as follows. These are based on hypothetical numbers only.
  • The Laser is worth $180,000
    • 20% discount --> 144,000
    • 10% Downpayment = 14,400
    • Total Remaining Balance = $129,600
  • 10 years for the loan term
    • 5% interest rate
    • Estimated monthly payment = $1,400 per month
    • Extra cost for maintenance or electricity = $300 per month
    • Monthly cost = $1,700
  • Five additional services upon acquiring the equipment
    • Each service would cost, on average = $250
  • 7 Treatments are needed in order to break the cost of the equipment
    • Each treatment takes 30 minutes
    • = 3.5 Hours of Labor
    • Multiply by $150 per hour
    • = $525 monthly
  • $1,700 + $525 = $2,225 monthly cost

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“If you want to get an opportunity to buy an expensive piece of equipment, try and sit on it for a day or two. Don't let anybody pressure you into making quick, rapid decisions. Let your emotions simmer down and look at it from a rational, financial standpoint.” – Jason A. Duprat

“The more detail you can include in terms of your information gathering, the better your decision-making will be.” – Jason A. Duprat

“A company can't produce income without assets. So protecting assets is critical to the survival of every company.”

– Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about Asset Protection and decreasing the risk of being involved in a lawsuit. In this episode, Jason shares real-world scenarios faced by successful but unprepared individuals as well as relevant advice to avoid getting caught up in a similar situation. Tune in until the end to find out who won our special giveaway!

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Make your assets invisible to your potential opponent.
2. Decrease the chance that somebody will want to sue you.
3. Hire a qualified attorney specializing in Asset Protection.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• During the pre-filing phase, law firms hire private investigators to do public record searches to figure out how many potential assets their target defendant has.
• Make sure that anything that you own is not going to show up in a public record search.
• In another episode, Jason talked about Asset Protection. Certain states have something called "Tenancy by the Entirety" which creates strong protection for your home.
• Here's an example of assets you want to keep hidden: houses, cars, boats, and businesses.
• Problems sometimes arise when people create their business by filing with their Secretary of State themselves. They tend to make mistakes such as listing themselves as the registered agent and the manager of the business and revealing themselves to the public.
• Settlement Value Calculation: What attorneys use to determine whether or not they're going to pursue a case.
• Jason follows YouTuber Attorney Toby Mathis who talks about this same concept and refers to it as Security through Obscurity.
• Work with a qualified attorney who specializes in Asset Protection.
  • TAKE NOTE: There are business attorneys who have no experience in Asset Protection.
• To make your house undiscoverable, you can use a Land Trust. The title goes into the Trust's name and there's a trustee assigned.
• To get yourself off of a vehicle's title, have an LLC own it.
• If you own businesses, you don't want them directly tied to your name. Paying for a registered agent will keep your name off the Secretary of State's website.
• If you're going to settle, make sure you're settling within insurance limits, that you have plenty of insurance, that you appear as if you own nothing, and you remove yourself from the public record.
• Robert Kiyosaki says that he is worth millions, but owns nothing.
• You have to take action before you ever get named in a lawsuit.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. A well-shared story syncs the brains of the storyteller with the listeners.
2. Explain your story in layman’s terms to attract those outside your profession.
3. Tell people how your unique value is going to change their lives.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• He spent about 20 years in Journalism, wrote about 10,000 stories, and edited another 10,000.
• Along with his Journalism experience, he learned the value and skill of Storytelling.
• Paul worked in his friend's PR Firm. He said it was similar to getting an advanced degree in marketing and PR.
• He started his own Public Relations Firm in 2002, where he used everything he learned about Storytelling, Journalism, and working with great brands.
• Advertising vs Public Relations analogy:
  • Advertising is when you come into the office the morning after your big date and you tell everybody how great you were.
  • PR is when you come into the office the morning after your big date and your date tells everybody how great you are.
• With a well-shared story, the storyteller’s and listeners' brains sync up in terms of brain activity.
• Paul and his company practice a 21st Century practice abbreviated as P.E.S.O. - Paid, Earned, Shared, Owned. Every healthcare client Paul works with needs these four categories of content to gain success.
• You may have an idea for a story, and your Public Relations Agency will tell you if that's a good idea or not and help you make an idea, that's not as great as it could be, better.
• Pitching is the Psychology of "When is the right time and right place for the right story?"
• Three categories of measuring Public Relation success are Outputs, Outtakes, and Outcomes.
• Press Releases are good for SEO. When you put a Press Release on the internet, write it in plain, easy-to-understand English that can be understood by those outside your profession.
• You only need to spend a large amount of money if you are making a major national announcement. For regional announcements, there are much more affordable regional distributions.
• The best way to reach Paul would be through www.wordwritepr.com

"Get the fundamentals down and the level of everything you do will rise”

– Michael Jordan

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about focusing only on one thing and avoiding the “Shiny Object Syndrome.” In this episode, Jason teaches us the importance of focusing on the basics and how they will bring us far above the competition. You can’t leap without learning to jump first. Tune in until the end to learn about our giveaway which ends next week!

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Focus on one business.
2. Get really good at the boring stuff.
3. Do more of that boring stuff.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• What separates great entrepreneurs from the rest is the ability to resist the Shiny Object Syndrome.
• All of the ‘shiny objects” create other tasks that detract from your main opportunity.
• The only time it's okay to try out different opportunities is when you're just testing out the waters and figuring out your niche.
• Your business should have a mission that is more than just money. That mission will help you stick to your business and help you focus.
• Jason quotes Neil Strauss, "Success comes down to doing the obvious thing for an uncommonly long period without convincing yourself that you are smarter than you are."
• If you haven't mastered the business basics, you should not be thinking of starting a second business.
• The basics will fill the holes in your business and allow you to grow more than most competitors.
• If you're handling multiple businesses, let go of all of them except for one with the greatest potential.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

"What makes an advanced entrepreneur is being able to execute the basics well." – Jason A. Duprat

"Get really good at the simple, boring, tedious business aspects before you consider moving to the next business opportunity." – Jason A. Duprat

“Employees pay the highest percentage of taxes. Big business and investors pay the least.”

– Robert Kiyosaki

In today’s rebroadcast episode, Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Tom Wheelwright, CPA, and CEO of "WealthAbility." Tom highlights how your business can be the best tax shelter. We also learn how to save more money while increasing your gross income, as well as tax strategies for long-term tax reduction. Tune in to learn more from Robert Kiyosaki’s Tax Advisor himself!

3 KEY POINTS:

1. The government wants and supports business owners for the sake of the economy.
2. One beginner mistake is handling taxes yourself without having a financial partner.
3. Instead of asking if it’s deductible, the better question is “How do I make it deductible?”

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Tom began his career with Ernst & Young, where he spent seven years. He went on to work for a Fortune 1000 company and has spent 25 years buying and selling CPA firms.
• Tom was handpicked by Robert Kiyosaki to be one of his Rich Dad advisors. He serves as Robert's tax advisor as well.
• He's authored two chapters in “The Book of Real Estate” by Robert and contributed to four other books.
• Most recently, Tom has been touring with Robert providing financial education. Together, they have 50 CPA firms worldwide.
• Tom left big company accounting because he wanted to work with entrepreneurs.
• When business owners work from home, they get a tax benefit. However, employees don’t so there’s massive inequality.
• You should consider starting a side hustle. It allows you to put extra money in your pocket and offers massive tax savings that can add up.
• One small business tax strategy is to have a home office. Rather than take a flat deduction, itemize. Also, it’s better to claim % of rooms vs % of square footage.
• If you set up a home office right, not only does it give you a deduction for a portion of the utilities, maintenance, and even the cost of the house, but it even gives you a bigger deduction for your car because it turns your commute into a business expense.
• Ultimately, you want to evolve into an LLC or S Corp for tax deductions. With an S Corp, only your wages are taxed, not the distribution. An S Corp can cut your taxes in half.
• Tom cautions against filing as a sole proprietor because it’s risky and costly to set up. In addition, 100% of your net income is subject to social security tax.
• Never plan to be small. Act like a big guy and get big guy benefits!
• Business owners often overlook the fact that business travel and meals are tax-deductible.
• Don’t intermingle funds. Your business isn't a hobby. You must behave like a real business to reap the best tax benefits and optimize write-offs.
• Not only is it okay to employ your children, but the government likes you to employ them and they'll give you tax benefits. Children can earn up to $12,000 tax-free, allowing them to save for college more effectively than a 529 Plan.
• As an entrepreneur, there are three tax planning principles to keep in mind: reduction of taxable income, tax credits, and tax rates.
• Focus on permanent tax benefits vs postponing paying taxes. Have a team including a tax advisor, attorney, insurance agent, and bookkeeper.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“If you take your money and you put it back into your business, you don't pay any tax.” – Tom Wheelwright

“Employing your children is a great way to teach them how to work and the value of money and investing.” – Tom Wheelwright

Entrepreneurs have a million ideas, but great entrepreneurs know which ideas are worth exploring first.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about directing your focus toward the right goals. In this episode, Jason shares a method he uses to identify essential focus areas, the criteria to consider, and actual personal examples. Learn more so you can apply this best practice to your entrepreneurial journey!

3 KEY POINTS:

1. What are my goals?
2. Does this help me move closer to my goal?
3. How much would this cost?

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Entrepreneurs are good at identifying and solving problems but not so much at figuring out which tasks to prioritize.
• To figure out what you should be working on::
  • First, have your goal in the back of your mind.
    • Jason has a 3-year plan, yearly goals, and quarterly goals. Their team also conducts annual meetings to discuss the goals for the year.
  • Second, does this project help move the needle toward the goal?
    • If it's not getting you closer to your goals, it's a shiny object that should go to the bottom of the list.
    • If it's something that could potentially be applicable, list it in a separate sheet and revisit it during the next annual meeting.
• Third, determine what the cost is for the different projects or tasks.
  • For each project, consider these three things:
    • Time: How much time would this cost?
    • Capital: How much capital would we need to invest?
    • Effort: How much effort would this take?
  • Score each of them according to their level of cost/effort. 1 for minimal, 2 for intermediate, and 3 for high cost/effort.
• Identifying these will help you:
  • Eliminate those that are not in alignment with your goals
  • Figure out the most efficient process for achieving your goal.
• Sort them according to Cost Number and ROI to identify which would give the most growth potential and have the least cost.

“Politeness costs nothing and gains everything.”

• Lady Montague

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the most effective ways of reaching out to others. In this episode, Jason shares his personal experience of receiving a not-so-conventional invite and how empathy, courtesy, and professionalism play crucial roles in communication. We also learn practices passed down from Jason’s Podcast Coach, Travis Chappell, who successfully invited Grant Cardone to his show.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Be very brief. Avoid information overload.
2. Do some research on who you’re reaching out to.
3. Try different angles when reaching out.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• If you're meeting someone for the first time virtually, there are proper procedures, etiquette, or courtesies to follow.
• When someone reaches out to you look at:
  • How courteous are they?
  • How professional are they?
  • Are their goals aligned with mine?
• Be very brief. Avoid information overload during your initial reach-out.
• Emphasize what value the end-user is going to receive.
• Sometimes, it’s just a matter of being persistent and trying different angles.
• Jason’s Podcast Coach, Travis Chappell, went from having no podcast to having famous people like Grant Cardone and Gary Vaynerchuck.
• Research to learn more about who you’re reaching out to and build rapport (Ex. Join their email list or find out what you have in common).
• Jason recommends using Calendly or other scheduling tools for easier booking of appointments.
• Since contacting Grant Cardone directly wasn’t working, Travis Chappell’s strategy was to reach out to Grant Cardone’s friends, business partners, and even his wife first.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“When reaching out, instead of forcing your way through the front door, look to the side door and backdoor.” – Jason A. Duprat

“When reaching out to someone, always be courteous, professional, and grateful.” – Jason A. Duprat

1. Unconditional Guarantees are most advantageous for the client.
2. Conditional Guarantees eliminate risk in the eyes of potential clients.
3. Anti-Guarantees are for providers with high risk or cost when providing their service.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Jason is attending the Level Up Summit put up by a software company and filled with online marketers and online business owners.
• Guarantees can be a double-edged sword because some could take advantage of them, which happened to Jason.
• 3 Common Types of Guarantees:
  • Unconditional Guarantee - No questions asked, full-refund guarantee. This is most advantageous for the client.
  • Conditional Guarantee - Comes with certain criteria to meet in order to avail of the refund. This also eliminates the perceived risk in the eyes of a potential customer.
  • Anti-Guarantee - No refund under any circumstance. This is usually the case when the provider has a lot of risk or a high cost when providing their service.
• You can combine guarantees. For example: Until 24 hours, an Unconditional Guarantee is in effect, but will convert to a Conditional Guarantee beyond that point.
• When including guarantees, ensure that the total increase in sales outweighs the cost.

If you don’t have the psychology figured out, you’ll just keep repeating the same patterns that don’t make sense.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Linzy Bonham, owner of Money Nuts & Bolts and host of the Money Skills for Therapists Podcast. Linzy is a Therapist turned Money-coach that helps empower others to be more confident and in control of their private practice finances. Turn in to learn more about Linzy’s journey as well as psychological insights to handling finances.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Build a business that first takes care of you.
2. It's not difficult to start at something you're already good at.
3. Work with those who can do what you can't or don't want to.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Linzy started doing social work focused on trauma but realized she had a passion for something other social workers don't: finances.
• Linzy read a book recommending only starting a private practice after practicing for 5 years. She ignored the advice and began her private practice only one year into being a social worker. She considers this to be her best-ever decision.
• She started her business, Money Nuts & Bolts, in 2018
• As part of her service, Linzy spent $7,000 creating a beautiful space since she wanted to provide a comfortable, calm place for her clients.
• Profit First is a budgeting system for businesses developed and popularized by Mike Michalowicz wherein you divide your money in advance. This helped unlock clearer budgeting for Linzy and her business.
• After reading the book "Million Dollar Consultant" recommended by her mentor, Linzy landed a contract of $50,000. Her service consisted of overhauling all finances for her client's business and personal life.
• Linzy launched an evergreen course called Money Skills for Therapists which aims to help people develop common confidence about their private practice finances.
• A Scarcity Mindset is thinking that there's "never enough money."
• No amount of money will fix someone's Scarcity Mindset. If they feel like there's not enough, no amount of proof otherwise will help. To fix it, something deeper needs to be unrooted.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

"Ask yourself, what's causing you so much emotional weight that it's worth paying money to fix?" – Linzy Bonham

"Put on your own oxygen mask first. Building a business that takes care of you is the best thing you could do for yourself, your business, and your clients." – Linzy Bonham

To charge a premium rate,

You need to charge premium-quality service.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about increasing the value of your offer through the Value Equation. Continuing from last week’s topic on Alex Hormozi’s concepts, Jason discusses what the Value Equation is, how to use it, and how it can help your business be part of a category of one. Tune in to learn how to charge at a premium rate by providing premium-quality service.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Increase the perceived likelihood of achievement.
2. Decrease the time delay.
3. Decrease your client’s amount of effort and sacrifice.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Jason discovered this concept from Alex Hormozi.
• The Value Equation is an important aspect of creating an amazing offer that puts you in a category of one.
• The equation is written as follows:
  • Value = (Dream Outcome x Perceived Likelihood of Achievement) / (Time Delay x Amount of Effort and Sacrifice)
• In the business world, this is how people perceive the value you're delivering.
• The goal is to increase the Dream Outcome and Perceived Likelihood of Achievement (numerator) while decreasing the Time Delay and Amount of Effort and Sacrifice (denominator).
• For example, the goal of the client is to lose weight. A high-value service is Liposuction, while a lower value would be a gym membership.
  • Liposuction has a high likelihood of being achieved especially if the physician handling the process is an expert, as opposed to working out with a lower likelihood.
  • Liposuction has a low time delay since it’s an instantaneous change compared to working out which would take months.
  • Liposuction is low effort and sacrifice since it’s a procedure done by the physician, as opposed to working out which is far more difficult.
• If something has a high perceived value and fairly low cost and is simple to implement, add it to your offer.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

"To get yourself into a category of one, maximize your perceived likelihood of achievement, and decrease the time delay, effort, and sacrifice." – Jason A. Duprat

Do what the other 99% aren’t doing.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about setting your products/services on a category of their own. In this episode, Jason shares some of his takeaways from Alex Hormozi’s “$100M Offers,” teaching us the foundation for charging premium rates and allowing your business to be a unique gem among the rest.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Analyze and anticipate your clients' problems.
2. Create offers that solve those problems.
3. Price your services at a premium rate.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Pricing your services as the cheapest is a race to the bottom.
• Avoid being in a commodity business. Grocery stores are one of the best examples of these. The profit margin in a grocery store is usually 3-5% which leaves zero room for error.
• If you price yourself under the competition, you're entering into the cycle of commodity markets, where each new competitor decreases their price in hopes of capturing a larger market share over time, which usually doesn't end well.
• To create an amazing offer, go back to what your client, student, or patient is coming to see you for, analyze every problem they could probably face, and create a solution for those.
• Jason's listening to Alex Hormozi's "$100M Offers" and taking notes on how to improve his businesses' offers and stay in a "category of one."
• Taken from the book, Jason explains the different tiers of service you can provide:
  • Do It Yourself - "We'll teach you, but you'll do it yourself."
  • Done With You - A tier higher including a combination of what the client does and what's done for them
  • Done For You - Everything is done for the client.
• By combining different varieties of services, the value you're giving becomes higher.
• If you package your solutions for your client’s problems, you are creating an incredible value proposition that you can charge far above what anybody else is charging.
• Stay tuned for a future episode where we talk about an equation explaining what you need to do to increase the value of your service.
• Also, stay tuned for exciting news about our upcoming giveaway.

No matter how good it is,

It can always be improved.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Guy Friedman, CEO and Co-Founder at SteadyMD and HigherNext. In this episode, Guy shares the story of how he built his businesses from the ground up, the rationale behind each process, and how virtual care has contributed to the massive change in our healthcare system. Tune in to learn more about the greatest instrument he's wielded since childhood: his mindset.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Always assume that something can be improved.
2. Collect questions you don't know the answers to.
3. Know your practice from the inside out.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Guy grew up questioning things and thinking of new innovative solutions to any problem he could think of.
• He started venturing into start-ups around 2010, then later translated his businesses into telehealth and digital health
• SteadyMD was the highest version of virtual primary care you could access online in 2017.
• In 2020, they had an influx of other digital health companies asking to hire Guy's clinicians on their platform. This signaled the existence of a large market, so they geared the business into an on-demand 50-state clinician workforce wherein digital health companies can tap into.
• For Guy, taking an MBA isn't required before starting a business, but the education helped build the foundations of his business know-how.
• When hiring programmers, Guy recommends outsourcing from other countries for cost-effectiveness but prefers always to have at least one person from the US.
• Guy spent six months doing extensive research on telehealth, digital health, and identifying how the healthcare industry could be improved for all.
• The pandemic in 2020 was the perfect opportunity that accelerated their already growing momentum.
• In fundraising, resign yourself to having hundreds of meetings and repeating yourself a lot. Do your best and keep grinding. Don't get discouraged and impatient. Treat it as a rite of passage, a battle you have to get through.
• Be diligent when listening to questions and adjust your pitch based on those, not on what you think is the most convincing argument.
• There's no excuse for not knowing everything about your industry, company, and competitors.
  With the convenience of the internet today, there's no excuse for not keeping up with the industry happenings.
  You can't fail if you don't give up.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

"Always assume that systems aren't optimized in the best way possible; that there's room for innovation." – Guy Friedman

Focus on working “on the business”

Rather than “in the business”

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about growing your slice of the pie by creating a bigger pie. Collaborating with more people lessens the percentage you take, but with everything growing exponentially, what you receive ultimately increases as well. In this episode, Jason shares his insights on Phantom Equity and other viable options to grow your business, as well as how exactly collaborating with more people would help him develop his businesses in the long run.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Realize that you can't do everything on your own.
2. Allow key people to partake in the upside.
3. Focus on working "on the business" rather than "in the business."

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Allow others to partake in the upside as this may be the driving force for others.
• Over time, you need to let go, trust, and delegate your other responsibilities.
• Creating a separate legal entity to manage a different business has been complicated due to separate tax returns, bank accounts, payrolls, etc.
• Jason came across the idea of creating partnerships with other clinical experts to grow the pie.
• Jason recommends exploring Phantom Equity as an option for your company.
• As Sam Walton mentioned in his books: Allow key people in your company to partake in the upside.
• Sam Walton’s slice of the pie got smaller in terms of percentage, but since the pie got bigger, the value of his percentage grew exponentially by giving away stocks.
• Jason is currently teaching 3 courses that have been developed over 5 years. To lighten his load, he wants to partner with others that can provide coaching on his behalf.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

"If everything always has to go through you, that may eventually become a bottleneck in your business." – Jason A. Duprat

"Find people who can lead so you’ll have more time to work ‘on the business’ rather than in it." – Jason A. Duprat

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Rebecca Weiss, Co-Owner and Family Medicine Practitioner of Norterra Family Medicine, Co-Owner of Main Street Medical, Owner/Physician of Paradise Medspa and Wellness, and CEO of Tox & Tonic, LLC. In this episode, Rebecca shares practical wisdom from her years of experience, and how her past mistakes helped shape her success today. Tune in to learn about common traps new business owners should look out for and how to avoid them.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Don't be married to a brand.
2. Don't fall for the sales pitch.
3. Don't go into a career just for the money.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Her entrepreneurial journey began when she decided to leave a job she didn't enjoy, was bombarded with clients, and wasn't able to give her clients complete care as much as she wanted.
• Based on experience, Rebecca advises watching out for companies that take advantage of practitioners without much business training.
• She went bankrupt in 2016 and learned from this ordeal.
• She is a strong believer in Primary Care Medicine and later became a co-owner of a Direct Primary Care practice.
• As a proponent of Direct Primary Care, she believes in making medicine affordable, getting rid of 3rd-party insurance, and making patients' generic medications cheaper.
• Rebecca doesn't buy warranties for her devices. Instead, she pays for any repairs separately, which is more cost-effective in the long run.
• She draws the line between employer and employee but doesn't abuse her authority. She ensures that everyone feels valued and is part of the family.
• Different people are motivated by different things. Figure out what motivates your employees to ensure a healthy work environment.
• Spend money on marketing. Then, once the ball's rolling and your brand is known, you can cut back your costs.
• You don’t need every device to start your business.
• Don't be married to a brand and don't fall for the sales pitch. Always maintain rational decision-making above all else.

3 KEY POINTS:

2. Choose your KPIs carefully.
3. Map out your resources.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Through taking several programs, Jason is developing his own curriculum for future courses/masterminds.
• An entrepreneur is a person with the ability to identify problems, spot opportunities, organize resources, and provide the leadership needed to build, create, and offer the market a product or service of value.
• Growth Plans are similar to Business Plans, but more focused on growth opportunities. They are living documents that you constantly update as your business develops and grows.
• Key Performance Indicators are referred to some as Key Predictive Indicators. These indicators allow you to spot potential problems quickly to change the predicted outcome.
• MBAs focus more on teaching you how to be a corporate manager rather than being an entrepreneur.
• Resource Mapping allows you to assess what your business needs and where change should be focused on.
• Human Resources/Human Capital - one of the things you have to leverage in order to scale. Assess what your business needs to do its job better.
• Once we reach a certain amount of scale, having all of these systems, procedures, and a team of leaders is critical.
• Social Resources/Network - includes being a part of masterminds, local business programs, community training programs, university programs, etc.
• Jason was invited to become an advisor to the UCF College of Nursing.
• Organizational Resource - What kind of company culture, systems, and reputation do you have?
• Physical Resources - What kind of essential equipment do you have? Do you need/have a physical location?
• Technological Resources - Do you hold any particular intellectual property, patents, or trademarks? What kind of technological or network systems do you have in place?
• Financial Resources - Do you have a strong/weak cash flow?
• Some businesses have more resource categories than others.
• Jason is planning to enroll in even more programs to bring his students the absolute best content.
• If you're interested in applying for the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Program, listen until the end of the episode.

Your thoughts determine your actions.

Your actions determine your habits.

Your habits determine your future.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, reminds us of the value of our mental well-being, how our mental state shapes us, and how we can shape it. In this episode, Jason shares an effective 3-step strategy on how to reprogram our minds, as well as a throwback to his wrestling days wherein his mental state was the make-or-break factor.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Your thoughts eventually become your actions. If you let negative thoughts consume you, they'll eventually become your reality.

• The same thing happened to Jason's computer and the only thing that fixed it was a complete reset.
• Negative thinking begets negative thinking.
• Journaling helps in taking note of accomplishments and positive memories to combat the negative ones.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, jumps on the widely-requested topic of Medical Directors. Do you need a Medical Director? How do you find a Medical Director? How much should you pay a Medical Director? Tune into this episode as Jason dives deep into each of these questions.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• To find a Medical Director, start by scouring your network. The best case scenario would be to partner with someone you know, like, and trust.
• Another method would be to post on job sites with a thoroughly detailed job description. Look for state regulations regarding Medical Director's roles and responsibilities, put a salary, and hire them part-time at first.
• Another platform to look into is: https://medicaldirectorsnow.com/
• Be prepared to pay a professional salary.
• A Medical Director’s fee would be somewhere in the range of $750-$1,500 or more per month, depending on various factors.
• There have been instances when businesses shut down due to the absence of a Medical Director, so always have a backup plan.

3 KEY POINTS

2. How do you find a Medical Director? - Through networks and job sites

When fixing a problem, you cut it right at the source.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the potential of Functional Medicine and how it can help improve our current Healthcare system. In this episode, Jason shares his personal story about how the alarming state of Western Medicine has affected his family and how Functional Medicine could have been the key to preventing that outcome.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Jason's sister recently passed away due to Stage 4 Colorectal Cancer.
• The US spends more on healthcare than any other country in the world, but among developed countries, is at the bottom in terms of health outcomes.
• Functional Medicine aims to find the root cause of a disease or illness and focuses on Health Optimization.

  • Genova Diagnostics uses the "GI Effects Comprehensive Stool Profile" wherein patients send in stool samples and test for various indicators of gut health.
  • Toxins in mattresses due to flame-retardants turn into carcinogenic gaseous vapors, which is an example of what Functional Medicine looks out for.
• Functional Medicine is newer, evolving, backed by legitimate studies, and is a great opportunity for clinicians who want to do Medicine right.

3 KEY POINTS

1. Functional Medicine is a newer approach that addresses the root cause of diseases.
2. Western Medicine has much room for improvement.
3. Functional Medicine will greatly improve our Healthcare System in several years.

Obesity is a disease.

It's not just a lifestyle issue.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Katherine Saunders, Co-Founder of Intellihealth, Diplomat of the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board of Obesity Medicine, and Host of the Weight Matters Podcast. Join us in this episode as we debunk the long-standing stigma surrounding obesity and learn more about Katherine and Intellihealth's mission to bring accessible medical obesity care for all.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Serving as a Primary Care physician, Katherine was overwhelmed with her patients' weight-related diseases which inspired her to pursue Obesity Medicine.
• Katherine's mentor had a predecessor company which she and her husband transitioned into Intellihealth, wherein they aim to democratize effective obesity treatment.
• Science and research show that obesity is a disease and not just a lifestyle issue.
• Physiological and pathophysiological changes occur with excess weight that make it very difficult to lose weight and easy to gain weight.
• Obesity Medicine is a newer field of medicine. There are only under 6,000 physicians who are certified in Obesity Medicine, which is astoundingly low considering how rampant obesity is in America.
• The cornerstone of the field is dietary strategies, physical activity, and behavioral change. Medications come in only after comprehensive evaluations and needs assessments.
• Katherine mentions the American Board of Obesity Medicine, Obesity Medicine Associate, and conferences available to learn more about the field.
• She works closely with Software Developers in Intellihealth, combining two vastly different fields to make Obesity Medicine more accessible for all.
• One of their goals is to break the stigma, to educate people that obesity is a disease and not dependent on willpower alone.

Hiring others to boost your brand costs a fortune, so why not do it yourself?

As promised during last week's Tactical Tuesday, Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, reveals an insider secret large organizations use to boost their brand: Press Releases. Tune into this episode to learn more about how this tactic can help improve your SEO and save you a fortune.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Coordinating with PR Companies to boost your brand is expensive and almost always comes with no guarantees unless you do it yourself.
• The idea behind PR is to use 3rd-party press and news stories to have your business featured in various media outlets.
• Look up how to write press releases then submit your entries through press release websites that distribute them for you.
• Backlinks are links to your website. The more articles you release, the more backlinks you get, and the more backlinks you get from high-ranking, high-domain authority sites, the better your website will rank.
• Reporters may encounter these press releases and decide to go deeper into the story, turning into 3rd-party stories with more weight.
• Some press release websites Jason recommends are newswire.com, globenewswire.com, prnewswire.com, and marketersmedia.com.

3 KEY POINTS

1. Boost your brand through Press Releases.
2. Look up press release templates and submit articles through press release websites.
3. Release more articles, gain more backlinks, and boost your ranking.

Should I run multiple businesses?
Yes or No.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about what NOT to do to become successful in your business. In this episode, Jason fills us in on common pitfalls entrepreneurs, new and old alike, fall into while in search of "success," as well as mindsets to adopt in the journey to "real success."

• EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
  "Shiny Object Syndrome" is when people get distracted by trendy ideas, losing sight of their own business's growth. This is a common trap entrepreneurs fall for.
• Successful entrepreneurs are those with ironclad focus, sticking with their exact same business and giving 100% in everything they do.
• Distractions come often, so you must become a master of saying no and staying focused.
• Creating a business shouldn't just be because of fulfilling one's personal needs.
• Your number one reason for creating a business is to provide value to your customers.
• Give more value to your business so your business can give more value to others.
• An inefficient practice some people do is running multiple businesses in hopes of earning more but often fall short in both.
• An analogy for this is trying to drive two cars: Driving the first car, stopping midway, walking back to get to the second car, then driving again, and so on.

3 KEY POINTS

1. Focus on one business rather than multiple ones.
2. Don't fall into the "Shiny Object Syndrome" trap.
3. Create your business, not for yourself, but to provide value for your customers.

Life is life. It's not just work. Mridu Parikh is a productivity coach, best-selling author of Accomplish It, founder of Life is Organized, and host of the Productivity on Purpose Podcast. In today's episode, Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Mridu to exchange a myriad of best practices on how to live a happier life by maintaining a steady work-life balance.

We encourage you to ready your notepads because this episode is filled with timeless, life-changing insights you would want to remember!

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• With her career taking a toll on her work-life balance, Mridu begins her journey of time management and productivity, and created a business revolving around helping people "have a real life."
• The best measurement for productivity is how you feel at the end of the day.
• Productivity doesn't depend on how much you accomplish but on the significance of what you accomplish.
• A common struggle is we focus too much on clearing our to-do lists and too little on "what's going to make me feel successful."
• A common misconception for business owners is they think "success" equals "doing more." Focus more on planning, and you're gonna have less and better doing.
• Mridu elaborates on her 5 Umbrella Process which she runs her clients through
  • Realize your goals and focus. What is truly important?
  • Make adjustments to your calendar to fit your vision. What would your ideal week look like?
  • Create a system. Everything can be systematized better, be it your personal life or professional life alike. You can never over-systematize.
  • Get a team to delegate tasks off your plate.
  • Boundaries and communication. Saying no is uncomfortable, but there's a way to ease that burden.
• Mridu provides several real-life examples of how to say no without sounding too dismissive and maintain client relationships.
• Setting your schedule is helpful not only for us but also for our clients.
• If you're delegating, you should expect 80% of what you would be able to do.
• It's important to look at projects and recognize which ones you can delegate.
• Training takes time, but not delegating it wastes more time.
• The best project management tool is the one you're going to use. If you're comfortable with Google Docs and it works for you, then use that for now.
• Think of different themes for your days to create consistency (e.g. Wednesdays are Podcast Days. Fridays are Admin and Finance Days, etc.)
• When bombarded by a multitude of tasks, focus on 5 things – ideally 3 Professional and 2 Personal Agendas
• Mridu recommends the book "Atomic Habits" by James Clear

3 KEY POINTS

1. Productivity is a state of emotion.
2. When overwhelmed by tasks, take things one step at a time.
3. Life is not just work. That's why it's called "work-life balance."

How do you know if a person is "right for the job?" In this episode, Jason A. Duprat teaches you never-before-heard secrets and best practices on his hiring process. Developed by his amazing Executive Assistant, Jason's screening method pinpoints all the crucial factors to dig into before hiring someone, and we'll even get to hear some of the interview questions he personally uses.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Jason's original screening method was to interview applicants based on character traits and then train them on whatever skills they're lacking later on.
• It costs a small fortune to train somebody who doesn't know what they're doing. To save time on training, assess excellence from the very start.
• After hours of searching for the perfect screening method to no avail, Jason and his team decided to create their own.
• Jason's executive assistant helped devise an extensive screening method fine-tuned to measure someone's on-the-job competency.
• This screening method's questions were modelled after one of Amazon's COO tests but were modified for the particular position needed.
• You should hire for the character traits, but also look for those with skills at a higher level.
• When creating these technical tests, get right down to the crucial question: "Can this person work do this job?"
• As business owners, learn to embrace new perspectives. Take advice from your executive assistants and other team members.

3 KEY POINTS

1. Make interviews more efficient by developing a streamlined screening method to test for on-the-job competency.
2. Training costs a small fortune, so hire applicants who possess technical excellence from the very start.
3. When hiring, get right down to the question: "Can this person do this job?"

TWEETABLE QUOTES

"Training costs a small fortune. Hire those not only with good character traits but also with great technical skills from the get-go." – Jason Duprat

"As business-owners, learn to embrace different perspectives. There's a lot you can learn from your team members." – Jason Duprat

Being unaware of the law does not excuse you from it. In this episode, Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the importance of due diligence when taking advice. There are those who claim to be "experts" in their field but, ironically, spread misinformation, even illegal advice that could cost professionals their licenses. After listening to a podcast sharing such grave inaccuracies, Jason shares valuable insights on avoiding misinformation and seeking real professional advice.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Jason came across a podcast where the host claims to be a "Healthcare Business Expert."
• Ironically, pieces of advice given during the show were utterly inaccurate, even downright illegal.
• The consultant gave poor advice that could potentially cause people their medical licenses.
• One piece of advice was to work as a 1099 Contractor using your clinic's name, which risks the business entity's assets if things go wrong.
• It's important to work with competent consultants who've spent hours studying and are not afraid to admit what they don't know.
• If you don't know the rules of the Nurse Practice Act in your state, you should not be advising anybody. Read the laws word-per-word.
• Do not blindly follow and apply the advice you receive from anyone. Hire experienced consultants and attorneys.
• Invest at least five to seven thousand dollars in attorney consulting before starting your business.
• Thousands of dollars in consultations and legal fees are nothing considering the trouble it will save you from down the line.

3 KEY POINTS

1. Always exercise your due diligence when absorbing information.
2. Know the "Nurse Practice Act" in the state you're practicing in.
3. Get good legal advice. Hire experienced consultants and attorneys.

TWEETABLE QUOTES

"Get good legal advice. Among tens of thousands of lines of laws, violating just one line could cost you everything." – Jason Duprat

"A good consultant shares what he knows, but a great consultant admits what he doesn't know." – Jason Duprat

A life well spent is a life with no regrets. Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about how life is too short to worry about the opinions of others. Instead, focus your time and energy on building the life you want and doing the things you love. You are the author of your magnificent story. Let no one take the pen away from you.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Others will always have opinions on how you should/shouldn't live your life.
• Always take feedback with a grain of salt as not everyone lives the life you live.
• People find work to be exhausting, but for those who love what they do, like Jason, it's a source of immense joy and fulfillment.
• Jason's father did not enjoy his job but stayed for around 28 years. Jason also experienced terrible work culture but decided to change his life for the better.
• One common trap to look out for in the Healthcare space and Asian cultures is relatives imposing their definitions of success on you.
• You have the ability to create your own definition of success.
• If you're not happy with what you're doing, it's never too late to change. You always have a choice.
• Find what does make you happy and create a business or look for employment around it.

Ketamine-assisted therapy is an emerging field that’s gaining traction. Today, the medical community is increasingly accepting Ketamine-assisted therapy as a treatment option for those struggling with mental illness and substance abuse. What does this mean for clinic owners, and their patients? In this episode, Jason A. Duprat sits down with Christi Myers, Professor of Emergency Medicine, Assistant Director of Emergency Medical Services for a community college, as well as the Founder, CEO, and Director of Flow Integrative. Flow is a two-pronged approach to psychedelic wellness practiced in her very own Ketamine Clinic. In this episode, Jason and Christi shed light on a variety of topics including the stigmatized term "psychedelic" as well as the realities of mental health.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy provides people with a different perspective and helps them work on their mental health journey.
• We all have childhood trauma and understanding that trauma in a psychedelic realm allows assisted therapy to take place.
• The negative stigma around drugs and psychedelics is mainly due to a lack of understanding.
• Psychedelic treatment is safe and legal. It has been around for decades and is even included in the WHO's list of essential medicines.
• An article from 2017 states that Ketamine is naturally produced by an organism they found.
• Ketamine must be done professionally to avoid unnecessary risks. There's a desperation to heal, but taking drugs unsupervised is not the answer.
• Wellness is not a one-time thing but is a journey that needs guidance.
• Psychedelic treatment is not only for moving through depressive states but also for exploring one's consciousness and spiritual being.

3 KEY POINTS

1. Despite the massive stigma, Ketamine treatment is completely safe and legal when medically supervised.
2. Along with the growth of Ketamine-assisted practices, the negative stigma on psychedelics is slowly being dispelled.
3. Psychedelics not only dive into one's mental aspect but also the spiritual.

TWEETABLE QUOTES

"None of us came out of our childhood unscathed. We all have trauma to some extent, and being aware of that trauma is the first step to allowing therapy to take place." – Christi Myers

"When taking drugs, it's important to be intentional, to know why you're doing it, and most importantly, to have a medical professional guide you through the journey." – Christi Myers

Being an entrepreneur is all about adapting. There are no rules, and the right decision for you might not be right for someone else. Every business is different. You need to adapt each lesson to your own situation. In this episode, Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about how best practices for others might not necessarily work the same for you. Here, you'll hear his personal story on how blindly following by-the-book strategies can backfire greatly. As entrepreneurs, knowledge can only progress when paired with a critical mind.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Jason acquired a book called "The Who: The A Method for Hiring" in hopes of solving his hiring problems. Unfortunately, the contents weren't 100% what he hoped for.
• When ingesting information, you have to be critical and analyze what does and doesn't apply to you.
• The book mentions a 4-Step Process geared more toward hiring employees, while the nature of Jason's business is more of working with contractors.
• What piqued Jason's interest the most was the "Reference Interview" portion, which he found counter-productive.
• Applicants will always mention references that are heavily biased in their favor.
• Jason recently hired a contractor who talked a big game but couldn't deliver what he promised, wasting plenty of resources in return.
• References wouldn't badmouth their acquaintances at the risk of burning bridges. In certain states, companies can even get sued for badmouthing past employees.
• Hire multiple people for small projects and choose the best person to keep working with moving forward.

3 KEY POINTS

1. What works for others might not necessarily work for you.
2. Reference-Checking is a waste of time as references will always be biased in the applicant's favor.
3. Hire people on a short-term basis and gauge their performance from there.

TWEETABLE QUOTES

What is your true purpose in life? In this episode, Jason Duprat talks about leveraging your business to serve others. It’s human nature to focus too much on our daily grind and on ourselves, but how often do we pause to reflect on our purpose; on giving back to the world? Jason shares personal stories on how being a healthcare entrepreneur gave him the means to do just that, especially in helping his family during difficult times.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• In continually growing your income, you'll eventually realize that money doesn't buy you true happiness.
• Money is not the root of all evil. Some of the wealthiest people in the world are the most generous.
• Having more doesn't necessarily make life easier. Jason shared how fulfilling his lifelong dream of building a pool also brought in responsibilities of tedious maintenance. More money, more problems.
• There's a great deal of joy, purpose, and personal satisfaction that can be gained from helping people.
• After four long years of working hard, Jason finally started to reap the rewards of being an entrepreneur. Keep persevering.
• If you can offer financial help to someone in need, do it. If you can fly across the country to help people in crisis, do it. Whatever it is, if you have the means to help, do it.

3 KEY POINTS

1. Money can't buy you happiness, but it can give you a sense of purpose.
2. Give back to the world. It can be through your money, time, or knowledge.
3. You could lose everything in an instant. Use what you have not for trivial things, but for things that fulfill your purpose.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about one of the common problems why business owners are doing less than they should be by not implementing a customer relationship management software. A systematized process to follow up on leads is an essential tool every business owner needs because every lead is a prospective customer. Jason explores how a CRM is beneficial in the long run, so business owners do not leave a substantial amount of revenue on the table by not properly following up with leads.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Businesses usually lose potential customers because they do not have a tool to follow up on leads. Having a CRM software helps so leads do not fall through the cracks.
• Paying for a simple CRM software is a cost-effective investment for a business.
• Another option is to set up a more complex, fully customized CRM system.
• A customized system – custom automation and code on the back end – is best to streamline customer service fit for the business.
• Using text messages to follow up on leads is more effective than emails.
• An example of a common CRM strategy is giving birthday discounts and deals to reengage the customer and increase lifetime value.
• Jason and his team will be releasing a beta CRM software specifically for clinics.
• Continuously add value to your customers, so they keep coming back.
• Use technology to its maximum capacity with a fully automated CRM system.

3 KEY POINTS

1. CRM is a necessary business tool to follow up on leads.
2. In business, you have to have the highest possible customer lifetime value.
3. A fully automated CRM system is a gamechanger.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, discusses businesses of private practice owners with Eric Miller, co-founder and chief financial advisor at Econologics Financial Advisors, a full-service investment advisor firm and insurance agency. Eric explains how private practice owners get abundant income streams through profitable, sustainable, and transferable businesses.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Eric grew up in a blue-collar family in Ohio. Having transferred to Clearwater, Florida, he started his financial planning practice there and decided to work with practice owners.
• Pick a niche to help people who are believed to be underserved.
• Your goals should include having income from multiple sources and building a profitable and transferable business.
• Keeping your assets protected from taxes, inflation, and lawsuits create the most favorable financial conditions.
• Being a good owner and executive, on top of being a good practitioner, gets you not only the business profits but also the enterprise value.
• The golden rule of income is that your business will make exactly what it thinks it needs to make to cover its most vital expenses.
• Consider income, value appreciation, and tax benefits before borrowing money. How it will be used will either create constructive or destructive debts.
• Multiple income sources in the business are typically better than focusing on one source alone.
• Become successful in doing the roles of the owner, executive, and practitioner by improving yourself.
• State statutes, insurances, umbrella policies, and business entities are tools for asset protection.

3 KEY POINTS

1. Never be reliant on a practice alone – work to create other income sources.
2. Executive and ownership skills are essential to scaling the business.
3. Borrow money only if it helps the business expand and unnecessary business debt can drag you down.

TWEETABLE QUOTES

“You need to learn the skills of the executive and an owner because those are really ready to allow you to expand and be able to scale the business and not have it run you at some point in time.” – Eric Miller

“The biggest expense you have is money that you should have made, but you didn’t.” – Eric Miller

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the importance of standard operating procedures and documentation within a business. Recently, one of the long-time contractors from his marketing department left the company in a very unprofessional way by resigning on the spot. Jason provides insight into what preparations can be done to prevent your business from struggling if situations similar to this happen to you.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• One contractor quits from Jason’s marketing team, exposing mistakes he made that would’ve certainly caused large problems in the near future.
• Jason had to hire a freelance contractor to go through the automation and integrations and create documentation that was never done.
• When hiring contractors and employees, be sure to familiarize their software tools.
• Marketing contractors and agencies can suddenly go out of business. Knowing the backend and having it documented saves you and your future marketers time.
• Splitting vital roles between two individuals ensures the business isn't left high and dry if one of them quits or gets sick.
• SOPs and documentation are the tools that help you free yourself from the business.
• Always audit internal systems to lessen mistakes and errors.
• As a business owner, you need to extract yourself from the business, and one of the keys to doing that is having systems, processes, and documentation in place.

3 KEY POINTS

2. Always maintain the upper hand as the business owner.
3. Never be too dependent on one individual.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, is joined by Kimberly Juroviesky, a retired nurse practitioner, USAF veteran, and president of Ketamine Taskforce, Inc. Kimberly developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome due to an injury while on active duty, which led her to get ketamine infusions as part of a research study. She shares how ketamine therapy helps reduce her pain to what she describes as “liveable levels” and shares insight into her advocacy efforts to provide more patients access to ketamine therapy.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Kimberly trained to be a nurse practitioner and nurse midwife at Columbia University and The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
• She joined the USAF at 37, where she tore some ligaments in her hand which eventually developed into Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.
• Kimberly signed up to be part of a ketamine research study with hopes of easing her pain.
• While ketamine therapy reduces pain, provides relief from depression symptoms, and can rapidly terminate suicidal ideations, the administration of ketamine can be an unpleasant experience for some yet a pleasant and transformational experience for others. Preparing the patient for what to expect is key.
• Kimberly authored the book “Ketamine Infusions: A Patient’s Guide” to help others navigate ketamine therapy.
• The neuroplasticity effects of ketamine can be profound.
• The Ketamine Taskforce is founded on three things: insurance coverage, research studies, and safety.
• Take precautions when taking other pharmaceuticals with ketamine infusions as some may decrease the effectiveness of ketamine.
• Insurance coverage is the most common hurdle that makes ketamine inaccessible to many.

3 KEY POINTS

1. Ketamine therapy is still not accessible to those who can’t afford it.
2. Different people have different levels of response to ketamine therapy.
3. Ketamine is not physically addictive.

TWEETABLE QUOTES

“You can’t give a patient something and not tell them what’s in it. It’s dishonest. I think it goes against medical ethics.” – Kimberly Juroviesky

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the need to stop giving average effort when expectations call for above-average results. Effort is a two-way street: what you give is what you get. Jason has encountered several people whose expectations are far beyond what they do, which only falls into disappointment. He explains why a change in mindset and a performance upgrade can help you reach that above-average result.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Do everything to the best of your ability.
• Average businesses go out of business, often within the first three years.
• Evaluate yourself and step things up a notch. Take action and make constant improvements.
• How someone is prepared is a reflection of their performance.
• Don’t fall into the trap of being content with the average, especially in entrepreneurship.
• Maximum effort equates to a high reward.

3 KEY POINTS

1. There is no room for average; do your best at everything you do.
2. Always take action to improve. It is a requirement to reach the pinnacle.
3. Hold yourself and your team to a higher standard.

TWEETABLE QUOTES

“Everything that you do should be aimed at doing things to your absolute best.” – Jason Duprat

“If that’s how you operate, where your output is average and you are not putting forth full effort, you will not survive. You’re going to lose all of your money that you invested into your business, and you have close to zero chance of surviving beyond the first three years.” – Jason Duprat

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, discuss clothing for movement with Jeremiah Robison, CEO of Cionic, an innovative company building lightweight and durable bionic clothing driven by powerful algorithms that adapt in real-time to each individual’s mobility needs. Jeremiah tells how his mission to provide a wearable solution to augment function and improve outcomes for individuals impacted with neurological movement disorders, especially his daughter with cerebral palsy, has led him to establish the company.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Cionic was founded with a commitment to Jeremiah’s daughter diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
• The journey for Cionic eventually led to the creation of the Neural Sleeve.

• One in seven people suffers from mobility impairment and disability. 60% suffer a lifetime disability in post-stroke individuals, while about half are mobility disabilities.
• Jeremiah is focused on his technology serving its current target market but reveals potential opportunities for performance enhancement in the sports world and beyond.
• Personal connections made it easy for Jeremiah to build his team and overcome challenges, including the pandemic.
• Challenge the thoughts and ideas of the status quo because they don’t always apply in every situation.
• UCSF, Cleveland Clinic, and other healthcare organizations are some sources to get funding for medical technologies.

3 KEY POINTS

2. With machine learning and innovation, a product can make a tremendous difference.
3. A product’s impact is its best selling point.

TWEETABLE QUOTES

“There is enough of the commoditization of machine learning and components that would be required to build something that could not only measure the human body but could actually influence movement.” – Jeremiah Robison

“That’s a big asset if you have other people who are starting a business. It doesn’t matter whether it’s in your sector or somewhere else. And sometimes, it’s even better to be outside of your sector because they have lessons that just apply to business as a whole.” – Jeremiah Robison

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the progression of an entrepreneur and how to position yourself to continue down the path of success. For entrepreneurs to scale up their businesses, they have to learn how to gain leverage, understand leverage, and utilize it to their benefit.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Jason watched a YouTube video and learned that to grow, you need to learn how to utilize leverage.
• Leverage has four components: labor, capital, digital media, and code.
• Labor - you have to ask and motivate employees. Collaboration with a team is necessary to create a product or service and ensure successful delivery to customers.
• Capital - a business cannot run without capital. Use capital to leverage marketing and have your system down pat by knowing how much to invest and what the ROI is.
• Digital media - you don’t have to pay a cost to replicate content and this includes licensing.
• Code - code can do the work of labor with fewer mistakes, fewer costs, and less downtime.
• Think of this as a pyramid. Labor is at the bottom. Move out of the position of making money for someone else and make money for yourself. Start your progression by stepping out of the W-2 job and becoming a 1099.
• Next in the progression is to become a business owner. Leverage team skills and time.
• After this, start to create content and focus on digital content.
• At the top of the pyramid, you’re already leveraging content and media and it’s onto code. Jason is at this level right now.
• Jason watched another YouTube video and shared two key takeaways.
• One, if your business is earning 0 to $1 million, focus on selling one core product to a single ideal customer. Get good at what you do.
• Once you reach $1 million, you can scale your market. Determine ways to offer lifetime value to your customer. Listen to current customers and offer products/services during their journey. Upsell!
• Jason is learning from successful billionaires and by investing in his education. He spent $47k last year on courses, masterminds, books, etc.
• The game is real. Invest in your education. Shortcut your path to success and financial freedom.

3 KEY POINTS

1. Learn, understand, and utilize leverage to your advantage.
2. Becoming a 1099 makes you learn more business skills compared to being a W2 employee.
3. Ensure your business offers lifetime customer value.

TWEETABLE QUOTES

“If you start to invest in your education and invest in those relationships with people that are doing things at the next level, then you’re going to figure the game out much faster.” – Jason Duprat

“It’s way easier to shift your mindset when you’re not around people who don’t share the same mindset.” – Jason Duprat

Overview:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast interviews Aaron LeBauer, PT, DPT, host of The Cash PT Lunch Hour Podcast, author of The Cash PT blueprint, and international speaker. Aaron discusses how to efficiently run a cash-based practice without relying on insurance reimbursements. He also provides insightful advice for effective financial management and result-driven marketing to scale your practice - including how to market directly to patients.

Episode Highlights:

• Aaron shares his aspirations of becoming a professional cyclist and how being a massage therapist provided the financial resources for his passion.
• His wife encouraged him to go to PT school and after he graduated, he started his cash-based practice in 2009.
• Aaron shares his advice for individuals transitioning towards practice ownership and that is to get in front of people, ask questions, and provide value.
• He markets directly to patients and not physicians. When he first opened his practice, he went to neighborhood meet and greets, and fairs.
• He was told patients wouldn’t be able to afford his care and it’s not ethical to run a cash-based practice.
• Aaron believes persistence wins. And it’s important to cultivate word-of-mouth referrals.
• When caring for patients, ask questions, offer value, and do something to help them. Know their struggles, problems, and desires.
• The language you use to speak with your patients is very important. It must be empowering instead of taking the power away from them.
• You can do the right thing and it can be done in an untraditional framework.
• Aaron’s mission is to help patients stay fit, healthy, and strong without pain medications, injections, or surgery.

3 Key Points:

1. Get in front of people, ask questions and offer value. Gather leads and have a system where you can follow up with leads.
2. Cultivate “word-of-mouth” referrals and ask them to send their family and friends to you.
3. Owning a business isn’t easy. You have to know why you do it and you have to be dedicated to doing it.

Tweetable Quotes:

“Websites are like business cards. We have to market directly to people who want our services.” – Aaron LeBauer

“Finding a mentor that can show you the step-by-step way of building a cash-based practice is a faster and easier road to success than trying to figure it out and reinvent the wheel.” – Aaron LeBauer

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about choosing the right market for your business model. To achieve favorable outcomes, entrepreneurs should offer products or services to a market with the best possible opportunities. Jason shares five ways to scale up and expand the right market to achieve growth.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• In episode #238, Jason talked about how entrepreneurs can bottleneck their businesses. Another bottleneck to consider is the market you serve.
• A good market has five attributes: it's large-sized, has a solvable pain point, has purchasing power, is easy to get in front of in a cost-effective way, and it’s growing.
• Large-sized markets ensure the business has customer reach.
• Your products or services must be the solution to an existing problem in the chosen market.
• Purchasing power is especially vital – a business cannot thrive if customers cannot afford it.
• Choose a market where advertising is easy and cost-effective.
• Make sure the chosen market is growing and not declining.
• Jason has spoken with other high-level entrepreneurs and they all say your choice of the market is key. Ask questions, do research, and analyze.
• There are five ways you can scale up or expand your market.
• One option is to upmarket by serving bigger players to increase your reach and improve efficiency in growing sales.
• The second option is to downmarket and get in front of potential clients before they need your product or service.
• A third option is to go to an adjacent market as they have similar needs.
• The fourth is to offer more services in general.
• The last option is to go deeper within your existing market by buying competitors, opening more locations, or offering different delivery platforms.

3 KEY POINTS

1. The market has a direct relationship to the success of a business.
2. A good market for your business has five attributes: it’s large, has a solvable problem, has purchasing power, is easy to get in front of, and is experiencing growth.
3. As an entrepreneur, ask questions, do research, and analyze your market to scale up.

TWEETABLE QUOTES

“If you have a poor entrepreneur in a fantastic market, the market is going to win, and that entrepreneur is going to look like a rockstar.” – Jason Duprat

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, discusses a hiring system he learned after attending a recent mastermind. The hiring process is mission-critical for the success of your business because the team is responsible for outcomes. Jason provides tips for seeking out A-player candidates, the best way to conduct interviews, and why you should always be in a recruiting mode.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• The hiring process is an important step for driving business success. You should hire new employees based on core values.
• When interviewing applicants, avoid making decisions based on gut feelings.
• Bill Allen, a real estate investor, and entrepreneur was a speaker at a recent mastermind Jason attended. He recommends the book Who: The A Method of Hiring by Geoff Smart and Randy Street because it has a well-researched hiring system.
• When you make a bad hire, it costs you at least that position’s salary. And that figure can go up to 5-15x based on time and money.
• Start with a good job description. Have a crystal clear vision about the work to be done and how performance will be measured.
• Use a scorecard and include the mission of the job, six to seven detailed breakdowns of what the position will do, and when the actions should be completed.
• Break down interviews into three to filter top candidates for the position.
• The first is the screening interview. Ask applicants about career goals, skills, strengths, weaknesses, and who their last five bosses were.
• Next is the main interview, where references (the last five bosses) are called to probe deeper into the applicant's experience and performance.
• The last is the focused interview which highlights the specific skills and traits demanded by the job.
• Always be in a recruiting mode because you never know when rockstar employees are looking.
• A-players are pulled to other jobs; B and C players are pushed out the door.
• If you want an above-average business, you need to hire significantly above-average people.

3 KEY POINTS

1. Business success lies in the employment process because it's the first step to building a team.
2. Interviewing is critical in the hiring process so it must be done thoughtfully and intentionally. Hire new employees based on core values.
3. Accept applications even when there are no positions open – sell the opportunity to work for your business.

TWEETABLE QUOTES

“Don’t wait to hire until you’re feeling overwhelmed. Be proactive.” – Jason Duprat

“You need to hire when what you love to do is being overtaken by what you hate to do.” – Jason Duprat

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks with Hilary Bricken, Partner and Attorney, and Ethan Minkin, Attorney with Harris Bricken, an international law firm. Hilary and Ethan discuss the legalities of psychedelics and ketamine. They also highlight the value of entrepreneurship for moving psychedelic efficacy and advocacy forward.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Ethan started his law career in 1999 with an interest in healthcare regulatory work, litigation, and transaction. He joined Harris Bricken 1.5 years ago with a focus on psychedelics.
• Hilary is a partner at Harris Bricken and her expertise is in controlled substances regulation, legal reform, and policy reform.
• There’s increasing discomfort from entrepreneurs surrounding the overregulation of psychedelics and ketamine.
• Work is being done in Oregon that will be the best test case. If the state beats the federal level, opportunities will open up. Right now, there’s no reimbursement for ketamine since it’s off-label.
• Hilary and Ethan are proponents of off-label ketamine because it’s innovative, guarantees an income stream, and is advantageous over its traditional use.
• Controlled substances can be prescribed through telemedicine under certain circumstances.
• Ketamine should be part of a treatment plan and not a one-stop option. Therapists and psychologists should be involved in a patient’s care plan.
• In the last three years, many clinics have added mental health therapy as part of their provider services.
• Combining ketamine and concierge care is possible as long as it's compliant with laws and regulations.
• False advertising is penalized under consumer protection laws, so credible studies must be cited in the literature.
• The quality of literature should be statistically significant - the gold standard - and include high-impact journals like JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association).

3 KEY POINTS

1. Psychedelics and ketamine have a potentially broader reach if regulations are relaxed.
2. The path of entrepreneurship is critical for building a full suite of services for psychedelics.
3. Protection of patients and consumers always comes first.

TWEETABLE QUOTES

“A first-mover advantage is a thing, but if it’s ketamine, you’re dealing with a very antiquated, heavily regulated, extremely consequential system, so proceed accordingly.” – Hilary Bricken

“If you’re treating someone for a mental health issue, make sure they’re also seeing a therapist or a psychologist, and not just getting ketamine and being sent on their way.” - Ethan Minkin

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about how entrepreneurs bottleneck their business and how to undo it through introspection and growth. Jason has been running his business for quite some time now, and his interactions with other business owners made him realize the problem lies in the entrepreneur. He discusses four ways in which a business can get bottlenecked.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Businesses get bottlenecked because of the entrepreneurs or owners themselves.
• There are four ways to bottleneck a business: skills deficit, character/trait deficit, mindset/belief deficit, and desire deficit.
• Skill can be taught, learned, and acquired. Examples of skills include conducting a marketing or promotional campaign, managing teams, and leading employees.
• If you find yourself saying things like “It’s so hard to find good help” or “No one can do it as well as me” or “My team’s performance fluctuates,” be self-aware. This lies within you and your skills as the leader.
• Always assess the root cause of the problem. Do the reps to improve, pause to get feedback, make improvements, and continue to put in the reps.
• Enjoy the process as you continue to hone your skills.
• Your mindset deficit includes negative, false, and self-doubting thoughts that ruminate in your head. Examples include “It’s too risky or too hard to become an entrepreneur” or “Managing a team is too stressful” or “I might fail and I don’t have what it takes.”
• Recognize this and work to overcome this negative mindset because it’s bad for business.
• Your character includes the mental and moral qualities that make you distinctive as an individual. Your character traits are features of your character.
• Character and trait deficits are difficult to mold and change. They require work, therapy, and religion to improve.
• A desire deficit means you don’t want to grow as a company or as an entrepreneur. If you don’t have a desire, you can’t work on the other deficit areas of skills, character, and mindset.
• Don’t be a drifter. Drifters are reactionary and don’t make good entrepreneurs.

3 KEY POINTS

1. Assess the root cause of the problem. Determine the framework for the root cause and flip it. If you’re struggling with hiring good employees, ask yourself: What can I do to get better at recruiting, managing, and motivating?
2. When you have a negative mindset, recognize this and outwork your self-doubt.
3. When you hire new employees, look for someone who demonstrates high character over high skills because skills can be learned.

TWEETABLE QUOTES

• “When your business has issues, don’t point the finger. Look inward.” – Jason Duprat
• “There are four ways businesses get bottlenecked. There’s a skills deficit, character deficit, mindset deficit, or desire deficit.” – Jason Duprat

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the value of high-level masterminds with entrepreneurs who are crushing it. He recorded this episode while in Mexico, where he’s attending a five-day mastermind event with Russell Brunson, the co-founder of the software company ClickFunnels.

• At this particular conference, there are a variety of entrepreneurial levels. Some are just getting their funnels off the ground and some have worked for decades. Some are bricks and mortar owners, and others have online businesses and agencies.
• Jason believes your business is an asset so you should continuously strive to build your asset. Don’t trade your time for dollars in a W2 role.
• If you’re a Type A kind of person, it can be easy to fixate on business challenges like broken systems, customer complaints, and automation breaks.
• High-level masterminds allow you to shift your mindset and open your eyes so you can improve your business.
• Pursue continuous learning and ways to improve so you can get to that next level.
• Jason plans to launch a two-tier mastermind of his own: one for newer entrepreneurs and another for healthcare entrepreneurs with at least one million dollars in revenue.
• When you attend a high-level mastermind, you won’t walk away with a single golden nugget. Instead, you’ll receive a dozen golden nuggets to help you tweak your business to achieve incremental growth.

3 KEY POINTS

• High-level masterminds allow you to surround yourself with people who are 5,10,20 steps ahead. You have the opportunity to learn from their mistakes and experiences to better manage growing pains.
• Work towards incremental progress. Strive to get 1% better each month and leverage this compound factor to consistently improve your business.
• Hard days are part of the process, and that’s okay. Continue to go upwards because that way, you can see results.

• She was well-versed in the inpatient world. In 2018, she opened Revitalist, an outpatient Ketamine clinic.
• Kathryn recognized the problems in the current health system. She focused on bringing quality care to patients and providers with consistency and compassion.
• Entrepreneurship is a skill and she’s still learning. She’s open to being taught and learning from others.
• Healthcare workers are not the best business people because they’re linear. There’s a steep learning curve.
• Kathryn is an advocate for bringing in healthcare experts to find success as an entrepreneur and practice owner.
• National organizations, state boards, and legal professionals are all complimentary services with specific roles to support and protect you.
• Initially, Kathryn started with a 50/50 partner. It was stressful yet helpful to bounce ideas off of each other.
• When it comes to a partnership, find someone you trust and who understands your mission and vision.
• As a ketamine clinic owner, you take on the problems of running the business and you take on people who feel like they’re failing in life. You’ll get patients who aren’t nice and you’ll get transference.
• Keep it simple, recognize you’re there to help and prioritize. Make sure your patients are safe and they’re heard.
• As soon as Kathryn opened her practice, she offered ketamine and vitamin infusions. She also offers therapy and has seen patients improve immensely over time.
• In August 2021, she began working with a public market partner. It’s been a very tedious process. Now, she’s focused on running a business and trying to make her investors happy.
• Revitalist is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange. It’s strict yet more friendly to small businesses than the Nasdaq.
• Her future plans include getting the best people. She currently has an R&D division with 18 projects. Her goal is to have 150 US clinics by 2025.

3 Key Points:

1. Provide health services based on the need. Keep things simple and safe for patients and providers.
2. Kathryn is focused on adding service lines to help communities grow through increased access, education, awareness, and safety. She wants to infiltrate the entire healthcare system and bring about necessary change.
3. Build a team with value, trust, and learn from each other to provide better healthcare.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the importance of establishing core values for your business. He’s in the process of implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) and core values are a key element. Jason shares why core values should be your company’s North Star and how they impact business success.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Your business can gain a substantial market advantage by reinforcing core values, especially in growing small to medium-sized businesses.
• Don’t deviate from them - especially when you’re hiring new employees.
• Start with 25-30 and distill down to three.
• Jason shares the three core values he established for HEA.
• The first one is impeccable character. Work with humility and don’t be arrogant or have an ego. Act with honesty and integrity 100% of the time.
• His second core value is to be tactfully forthright. Provide feedback politely and professionally. Don’t be afraid to speak the truth to better the team. If you see something wrong, communicate this.
• The third one is the pursuit of greatness. Show dedication to your role, team, and job. Have a desire to excel. Be highly ambitious and always strive to make the user experience better.
• When you create your company’s core values, use everyday language. Think of the beliefs and characteristics of the team. Core values should be innate.
• Stick to your core values unwaveringly to set yourself up for business success.

3 KEY POINTS

1. Establishing and not deviating from core values is essential for business growth.
2. Create three or four core values, so they are easy to remember, implement, and manage.
3. Hire and fire employees with your core values in mind. Think of it as pruning for growth.

TWEETABLE QUOTES

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, shares useful tips on how to set up an operating system for your business. Jason is implementing the Entrepreneurial Operation System (EOS) which is based on the book Traction, by Gino Wickman. He paints the picture for getting started with this patented process and also shares the lesson of putting rocks, pebbles, and sand into a jar to demonstrate business priorities.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• HEA has grown over the last few years and Jason has realized he needs to implement a system to streamline communications, operations, and priorities.
• EOS has been used by his colleagues KC Devine and Eric Ehle, as well as his new digital marketer.
• This system is a patented process for companies with 10-250 employees and adds structure. The learning and implementation process will take 1-2 years.
• The framework is to understand and communicate the vision, mission, and goals of your business with your team.
• Jason shares the example of a jar with rocks, pebbles, and sand. The rocks are quarterly goals and go into the jar first. The pebbles are the second tier and they go in next. The sand represents daily tasks and they go in last. In this order, you can fit all elements into the jar i.e. operate efficiently.
• Jason started out as a solopreneur and now has 21 contractors around the world.
• He recommends setting up a system when your team grows to 2-3 people versus waiting until later.
• Meetings are necessary. They move the business forward and they’re vital to the growth of your business and team.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Setting up an operating system will help you manage a growing team with greater efficiency and clarify priorities.
2. The only way to grow is to grow a team. The sooner you implement systems, the easier it is to manage growing pains.
3. You must communicate your vision, mission, and goals to the team. Goals are the equivalent of rocks and should be the top priority, with second-tier goals (pebbles) and daily tasks (sand) supporting the goals. They all work together.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, speaks with Tom Wheelwright, CPA, and CEO of "WealthAbility." Tom highlights how your business can be the best tax shelter. He discusses how you can save more money while increasing your gross income and he provides tax strategies for long-term tax reduction.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Tom began his career with Ernst & Young, where he spent seven years. He went on to work for a Fortune 1000 company and has spent 25 years buying and selling CPA firms.
• Tom was handpicked by Robert Kiyosaki to be one of the Rich Dad advisors and he serves as Robert's tax advisor as well.
• He's authored two chapters in 'The Book of Real Estate' by Robert and contributed to four other books.
• Most recently, Tom has been touring with Robert providing financial education. Together, they have 50 CPA firms worldwide.
• Tom left big company accounting because he wanted to work with entrepreneurs.
• When business owners work from home, they get a tax benefit. However, employees don’t so there’s massive inequality.
• You should consider starting a side hustle. It allows you to put extra money in your pocket and offers massive tax savings that can add up.
• One small business tax strategy is to have a home office. Rather than take a flat deduction, itemize. Also, it’s better to claim % of rooms vs % of square footage.
• If you set up a home office right, not only does it give you a deduction for a portion of the utilities, maintenance, and even the cost of the house, but it even gives you a bigger deduction for your car because it turns your commute into a business expense.
• Ultimately, you want to evolve into an LLC or S Corp for tax deductions. With an S Corp, only your wages are taxed, not the distribution. An S Corp can cut your taxes in half.
• Tom cautions against filing as a sole proprietor because it’s risky and costly to set up. In addition, 100% of your net income is subject to social security tax.
• Never plan to be small. Act like a big guy and get big guy benefits!
• Business owners often overlook the fact that business travel and meals are tax-deductible.
• Don’t intermingle funds. Your business isn't a hobby. You must behave like a real business to reap the best tax benefits and optimize write-offs.
• Not only is it okay to employ your children, the government likes you to employ your children and they'll give you tax benefits. Children can earn up to $12,000 tax-free, allowing you to save for college more effectively than a 529 Plan.
• As an entrepreneur, there are three tax planning principles to keep in mind: reduction of taxable income, tax credits, and tax rates.
• Focus on permanent tax benefits vs postponing paying taxes. Have a team including a tax advisor, attorney, insurance agent, and bookkeeper.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. The government knows it's better for the economy if they incentivize private individuals to undertake certain tasks. The government wants you to be a business owner and they want to support you.
2. One of the mistakes people make, especially when they're getting started, is they’re used to doing their taxes or they go to the corner tax prep company. They’re not used to having a partner - they're not used to having a real advisor.
3. Instead of asking if it’s deductible, the better question is “how do I make it deductible?”

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“The more income you earn, the more tax you pay, but the more assets you buy, the less tax you pay. So if you turn your income into assets, you build your wealth while you reduce taxes.” - Tom Wheelwright

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about two factors that influence how much you should pay yourself as a business owner. This episode references Tactical Tuesday #231 where Jason explains how to leverage tax benefits through an S Corp. In this episode, Jason continues to discuss additional factors to consider: your FICA tax rate and retirement planning.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Paying yourself through an S Corp. is a tax-saving strategy.
• It’s important to know your retirement goals because that’s going to play into how you set your W2 income.
• There are two types of retirement plans. A self-employed IRA and the contribution limit is 25% of your salary. And there’s a Solo 401K or Individual 401K, which is currently capped at $19,500.
• With the Solo 401K, you can contribute on your own and the business can also contribute, which is capped at 25%.
• Each type of plan has a different set of rules, regulations, and limits around it.
• One thing to consider is if you set up a company contribution at 25% for your own retirement goals, you’ll need to do the same for your employees at the same rate.
• Tax savings for your business is only one side of the equation. Planning for retirement is another so be sure to hire a consultant to guide you through both areas.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. The way you set your W2 salary is going to be the biggest driver not only in your taxes in terms of FICA, but it's also going to be a factor in how much you can contribute to your retirement accounts.
2. If you set your W2 salary too low, you're saving some FICA tax, but at the same time, you're limiting your ability to contribute to your retirement account.
3. You have to match how much company contribution you’ve set up for yourself before you had employees for all employees you hire thereafter.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“You have to treat yourself, as the owner, the same way you treat your employees.” - Jason Duprat

“You always want to be thinking about your retirement goals. That's going to help you determine which plan to set up.” - Jason Duprat

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the importance of understanding taxes to structure your business for tax advantages so you can pay yourself more. He shares options for how business owners can structure their businesses and highlights which option will provide the most benefits in terms of tax savings.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• You have options when it comes to how you pay yourself as a business owner and subsequently, the amount of tax you pay. This is based on how you structure your business.
• One option is a sole proprietorship and the other is an S Corporation
• You can also run your business as an LLC yet if you do, you’ll want to consider filing an S Corp election (Form 2553) to take advantage of tax benefits.
• As a sole proprietorship, you would pay taxes (income and FICA) on all of your earnings. This includes Social Security at 6.25% and Medicare at 1.45%. This is paid at the employee level and the employer level so a total of 15.4% is taken out.
• In 2022, a cap was placed at $147,000 in income. So you would pay taxes on this maxed amount which equals $22,000.
• As an S Corp, you can take advantage of huge tax benefits because you can pass-through income from the business to owners or shareholders.
• In this type of business structure, the owner would take a reasonable salary. What’s deemed reasonable is up for debate and based on the risk the owner can take.
• Be sure to talk with your CPA in order to determine the salary you should pay yourself.
• Jason shares an example of generating $300,000 in income and taking a $100,000 salary. The tax on this at 15.4% comes to a little over $15,000 - substantially less than the sole proprietorship.
• Jason runs all of his businesses as S Corps to take advantage of the tax benefits.
• As a business owner, you have to decide for yourself how best to structure your business. However, in order to do this, you must first understand how taxes work.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. When it comes to structuring your business, you have options and there are tax benefits associated with each option. You can file as a sole proprietor, S Corp, or an LLC with an S Corp election.
2. Hire a CPA. If you try to do this yourself…you’ll pay way more taxes. Consult with an education advisor to help you work in your best interests as a business owner.
3. The two-tier tax system of the government works to incentivize businesses and growth because that's what supports the economy. As business owners, you can benefit from this if you understand how taxes work.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“When it comes to answering the question, how should you pay yourself as a business owner, understanding taxes is extremely important.” - Jason Duprat

“You don't actually have to be an S Corporation; you can be an LLC and you can file a form that allows you to file an S Corp election, allowing you to pass through the income from the business to the owner.” - Jason Duprat

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, speaks with Dr. Nick Medendorp, PhD, Co-Founder, and CEO of UV Innovators. Nick talks about the importance of combating pathogens that cause hospital-acquired infections. He shares his journey in medical engineering and how this led him to launch his own medical company.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Nick’s father worked for GE so they moved around a lot. His father had a strong work ethic and Nick learned early on to power through problems.
• His basis for success is twofold: how to solve problems and why things break.
• Nick believes it’s important to get out of your comfort zone to get a different perspective to advance your knowledge base.
• Early in his career, Nick took a position with Phoenix Corp lab in tech development. While there, he realized the challenges large organizations faced.
• Nick was at a crossroads when it came to his career. Choose tech or business. He went to work for CREE, a startup in Santa Barbara that jump-started his entrepreneurial journey.
• As an entrepreneur, if you can’t find a partner, find a mentor. The CFO of CREE became Nick’s mentor and helped him develop a network with bankers, venture capitalists, and other entrepreneurs.
• While he worked at the startup, he opened his eyes and ears and learned from his interactions, which eventually helped him start his own business.
• UV Innovators was founded in 2020 with two partners who had backgrounds in medical technology and medical devices. NuvaWave is a portable disinfection technology that eradicates pathogens on the surface by eliminating bacteria and viruses, including those caused by the Coronavirus.
• One out of every 31 patients who are hospitalized gets a hospital-acquired infection.
• In the healthcare industry, there’s about $45 billion of additional expense from hospital-acquired infections.
• The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the challenges of making what's invisible visible.
• WellAir acquired UV Innovators and Nick believes it’s the perfect marriage.
• Based on feedback from clinicians, Nick and his team are continuing to explore medical technology innovation. Currently, they’re working on a tool that’s cordless, simple to use access verticals, and can easily integrate into workflows.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. UV Innovators focuses on portable, handheld disinfection technologies that eradicate pathogens on the surface. Nick’s mission is to protect clinicians and nurses, as well as patients and their family members.
2. Be open to the idea of a company acquisition. Sometimes, merging with another innovative entity is the best way to scale and leverage your product and business.
3. Throughout the development process, Nick continues to focus on key attributes to solve problems including making products cordless so healthcare workers can integrate them into a workflow.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“Curiosity is an important part of being successful in business and in things you do in life.” - Dr. Nick Medendorp, Jr.

“The willingness to go outside your comfort zone not only enables you to learn new things but sometimes makes you come out with a different perspective.” - Dr. Nick Medendorp, Jr.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the importance of working on yourself - particularly your mindset - when it comes to running a successful business. Jason highlights the key things that negatively affect your thoughts and how you can shift into more positive and productive thoughts to become the best in life and business.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• As an entrepreneur, it’s important to care of your spiritual, mental, and physical health.
• You can control your thoughts. Your thoughts control your actions and outcomes. They have the power to shape your life.
• Your mind is quite literally a battleground of negative, self-destructive, temptation-producing thoughts.
• If you don’t learn to recognize and control the thoughts going through your mind, you’ll end up feeling stressed, unfulfilled, and overwhelmed.
• Healthy people stay healthy because they eat well and work out. So feed yourself good, helpful content consistently.
• Seek out positive content through books, movies, podcasts, and people. Create a routine to shape the way you think.
• Be mindful of what you're exposing your mind to. If you're filling yourself with garbage, that's not going to move you forward. Garbage in - garbage out.
• News can be very depressing. How you consume your news and where you consume your news can have a big impact on your thought process.
• Bring out the best in yourself. Put yourself in situations where you're surrounded with positive thoughts and positive influences in your life.
• If your thoughts aren't in alignment with your goals, you're going to have some serious trouble.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Your thoughts are extremely powerful. They control the outcome of every aspect of your life, and they have the power to shape whether you’re happy in your relationship, in your business, with yourself.
2. You can't control the thoughts that pop into your head. Recognize this and decrease the instances of those random unproductive thoughts.
3. Once you get to the top and have a successful business, you're still the same person. Take time to work on yourself and the things that allow you to bring out the best in yourself.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“Being an entrepreneur isn’t easy. There are many hats you have to wear as a business owner, but you have to focus on taking care of yourself too.” - Jason Duprat

“Your thoughts become your actions, your actions dictate essentially what happens to you in your life.” - Jason Duprat

“One of the key things to remember is that whatever gets your attention, gets control over your mind. And so one of the most important things you can do is be cognizant of what you’re putting in your mind.” - Jason Duprat

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks about the best ways to build your team while growing your business. He discusses key qualities to look for when interviewing potential candidates. He also shares key insights based on his own experience as he continues to go through the hiring process and expand his team.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• The challenge with hiring A Players, especially as a small business, is that typically you can't afford A players’ salaries.
• It can be tempting to hire B Players and even C Players when your business doesn't have a lot of extra revenue to go around and/or when you’ve waited too long to hire and it feels overwhelming.
• When you wait until you're completely overwhelmed, you tend to take shortcuts. You tend to take the person that seems to fit the role the quickest.
• To attract A Players, sell your business, position, and growth. Sell income earning potential.
• Income earning potential can include equity in the company, profit splits, or revenue sharing. You can also offer flexible work schedules and training support.
• Set the bar high. Anticipate growth so you can hire A Players. Be aware of your profits and losses.
• Hire an intrapreneur vs an entrepreneur. Intrapreneurs are intuitive and they innovate ideas and grow teams yet have a low-risk tolerance.
• The reason you don't want to hire an entrepreneur is that they've probably already started businesses before. And those efforts failed so they lost their mojo. If they get their mojo back, they’ll likely leave you to start their own business again.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. A Players have the skills and the talent to grow your business exponentially faster and better.
2. When you're looking for A Players, the number one thing you can do is sell the position and sell the idea of future growth.
3. A Players know the skills they bring to the table. They understand that if given the right environment, they can exponentially grow revenue and the role as well.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“Do not always look for the best deal in terms of hourly rates or salary. Instead, you should aim to find A Players.” - Jason Duprat

“A Players are people that excel at what they do and they're able to take your business's growth to a completely new level.” - Jason Duprat

“When it comes to hiring, don't jump the gun. Don't make split-second decisions because you're feeling overwhelmed and you're swamped in your business.” - Jason Duprat

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Dr. Vonda Wright, MD, MS, orthopedic surgeon and internationally recognized authority on active aging and mobility. Vonda shares several gold nuggets based on her experiences as an entrepreneur, speaker, and author. She also talks about her passion for healthy aging and the importance of networking for women.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Vonda grew up on a farm in Kansas, and she got her work ethic and entrepreneurial drive from her family.
• The #1 job of an entrepreneur is to get people to believe in your vision.
• In the field of orthopedics, less than 6% are women. On corporate membership boards, it’s 4% and far less in leadership roles within orthopedics. Vonda was able to rise to an executive-level by starting businesses within her expertise.
• The greatest challenge Vonda faced as a woman in orthopedics was the lack of networking that most men have.
• In 2015, Vonda began exploring aging and longevity. Through her academic research and studies, she discovered another way to age and began speaking at unpaid gigs and writing consumer-facing books.
• She built her thought leadership while she worked on product development as well.
• Her books are a tool to get her word out. If you’re interested in writing a book to create a new revenue stream, have a marketing plan within your book proposal to attract a publishing house.
• Vonda hired a PR company to launch her first two books. It was expensive yet worth it. She has three other books in various stages, and because of her increased following, she can now worry less about PR and spend more time engaging with her community.
• Vondra’s overarching life mantra is to change the way people age. Her support verticals include books, products, her orthopedic surgeon expertise, and her nonprofit.
• Her nonprofit is called Women’s Health Conversations, which she launched in 2012 to gather women together for networking.
• Vonda's advice? It’s not a zero-sum game; embrace an abundance mindset.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Entrepreneurs, especially founders and solopreneurs, need to wear many hats and get people to believe in their vision. Develop your product, your message, and yourself as a thought leader early on.
2. Vonda’s book-writing process starts with spilling your brain. Find the main idea and the promise of that idea. Then, develop a cogent table of contents. Your first couple of sentences should draw readers in and should also connect to the last chapter.
3. People find time for what’s important for them. It’s all about work-life integration and choosing to do the right things.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“The number one job of an entrepreneur is—sometimes—to do everything.” - Dr. Vonda Wright

“I can trace a lot of my success back to one introduction, one meeting I was allowed to go to.” - Dr. Vonda Wright

“Sometimes you have to pivot your business to meet what customers are telling you.” - Dr. Vonda Wright

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks about creating a roadmap to becoming financially free through pseudo passive income. He weighs in on three methods to do this. He also presents the advantages of owning a business - especially a medical practice - as one of the most effective methods for achieving financial gains using pseudo passive income.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• There’s no such thing as passive income because you always need to do initial legwork and research.
• Jason prefers to call it pseudo passive income and has identified three methods to this type of income to become financially free.
• One method is to decrease expenses. There are several experts on YouTube talking about how best to do this, many in the homestead space.
• This method also includes penny-pinching and clipping coupons or searching for the best deals. This can be referred to as living a scarcity lifestyle.
• The second method is to increase your income by starting new businesses and building new revenue-generating streams. This is often referred to as choosing an abundant lifestyle.
• The third method is a hybrid model. It includes getting rid of bad debt and keeping your expenses reasonable while also increasing income.
• If you’re a budding entrepreneur, it’s better to build a new business from scratch rather than buy one and leverage its debt.
• When you build a business, you develop the necessary skills required to be an owner and generate cash flow.
• Once you have steady cash flow, keep reinvesting into the business.
• The ultra-rich invest and reinvest their cash flow into assets that don’t require a lot of work. They build businesses they can eventually extract themselves from so the business can run on its own and/or by a team.
• This provides a compound effect that has the potential to massively change your life.
• Jason encourages healthcare professionals to consider creating a business by owning a practice. Leverage the skills and the healthcare knowledge you have to further develop business skills. Then, hire an RN, NP, practice manager, and/or physician.
• Have a plan in place for 2022 and get the balling rolling!

3 KEY POINTS:

1. There are three pseudo passive income options to become financially free: the scarcity lifestyle, the abundant lifestyle, and the hybrid model.
2. Buy or create an asset to pay for your expenses. You can invest in cryptocurrency, dividend-producing stocks, or real estate; but the fastest way to acquire an asset is to start a business.
3. As a licensed healthcare professional, you can start your own medical practice or offer a service and leverage the skills you already have.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Dr. Daniel Kraft, MD, physician-scientist, inventor, entrepreneur, innovator, and Chair of the XPRIZE Pandemic Alliance Task Force. Daniel discusses his showcase event, Exponential Medicine. He also shares his insight on healthcare innovation and offers advice to anyone trying to get their business ideas off the ground.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Daniel considers himself an international healthcare futurist. He’s focused on rethinking and reimagining digital healthcare to address the unmet needs of patients and to solve their pain points.
• His vision includes democratizing healthcare solutions around the planet: drugs, devices, software, and wearables.
• Daniel is the founder and Chair of Exponential Medicine - a high-energy and boldly redesigned medical conference.
• The annual program gathers biomedical and technology-based faculty, innovators, and organizations to explore technologies that will impact the future of health and medicine.
• Daniel’s advice for people who host events or speak at conferences: throw away the script and be less afraid of making mistakes.
• The Innovation Lab at Exponential Medicine helps accelerate entrepreneurs from startup to market.
• Healthcare is a team sport. No one person has the answer.
• Daniel is an advocate of design thinking to meet people where they are - to redefine the problem to better understand people and challenge assumptions.
• Daniel talks about the 15 years he spent as a flight surgeon practicing aerospace medicine in the California and Massachusetts Air National Guard and why he decided to get out of the military.
• If you’re launching your own business, Daniel advises you to do it from the bedside. What problem are you solving? Understand who’s cheese you might be moving.
• Daniel also advises seeking out partners through virtual networking on LinkedIn and participating in pitch days with accelerators and incubators. Build a business plan and recruit people to your team.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. The goal of Exponential Medicine is to bring people together to learn and cross-fertilize ideas - to accelerate incremental medicine.
2. COVID is sparking a health age through the use of telemedicine and the alignment of regulations with reimbursements. It’s forcing us to find and catalyze new healthcare solutions - there will be new spinoffs coming out of COVID.
3. Figure out what your unmet need is and understand it from different angles. Look at the landscape of the competition and then build prototypes for your solution.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast discusses what happens when you take a swing and then you miss in business. He also shares the importance of learning from mistakes and how to keep moving forward.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Across social media channels, it may seem some people never have a bad day, they never have anything go wrong, and they never have any misses.
• The reality is, there are times when you may not get traction on a new idea. Not everything you do is going to be a gold mine or turn into gold.
• Running and growing a business is like throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks, what gets momentum, and what gets your customer base excited.
• A few weeks ago, Jason launched a Cash Practice Challenge. It was intended to cover the fundamentals of running a practice for cash services versus relying on insurance.
• Sometimes, when we get excited about something, we can overlook some potential challenges and factors that can impede success.
• The challenge didn’t get traction and there were a combination of factors that played into this.
• From a pricing perspective, Jason didn’t run online ads because costs had skyrocketed in December. Timing was off because people were busy with end of the year business planning and family activities.
• In addition, Jason learned cash based prospective audiences are often undecided about what clinical service to provide.
• When you introduce new business ideas, it’s important to know your numbers and conversion rates. Jason realized his greatest challenge wasn’t conversion, it was momentum.
• To compare is to despair. Jason is planning to try again after the new year.
• In order to keep things moving forward in your business, continue to expand on the services and products you offer.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. The most important thing you can do when you take a swing and a miss is keep on moving, try and evaluate what happened, reflect on what you can do differently next time, and keep on moving.
2. It doesn't matter how many misses you have. Eventually, you’ll find something that gets a lot of traction and will score a home run for your business.
3. As long as you have a source of income you can depend on, you can afford to make mistakes as long as you learn from them.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“Sometimes, especially when you're getting started, you're going to have multiple swings and misses in a row. That's totally normal and it’s totally fine.” - Jason Duprat

“Keep getting up to bat, keep swinging and you will become the entrepreneur you want to be.” - Jason Duprat

“The riches are in the niches” - Jason Duprat

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Nicholas Dowgul, attorney and founder of North State Law. Nicholas talks about his journey and the lessons he learned while starting and growing his law firm. He also offers advice to healthcare practitioners who want to open their own practice, highlighting situations they should look out for.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Nicholas learned how to run his own business from his entrepreneurial family. His father is a general contractor and engineer and his mother is a real estate agent.
• Working in entrepreneurship is nonstop so you need to learn how to manage your time.
• Nicholas founded North State Law in February 2019. He started small, sharing space with other professionals before getting his own space later that same year.
• He’s focused on occupational and professional license defense.
• Know as much as you possibly can about the people you want to target, making it easier to niche down and build your client database.
• Nicholas partners with members of the North Carolina Nurses Association to share education with other nurse practitioners through blogging.
• Nicholas discusses the pros and cons of forming a PLLC versus a service-based LLC. He also talks about the importance of having a Collaborative Practice Agreement and how it should be filled out.
• Consider getting separate liability coverage from what your employer provides to cover negligence and license defense if needed. And be sure to get good policy limits.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. North State Law focuses on helping licensed professionals keep and maintain their professional license whether they are nurse practitioners, attorneys, real estate agents, insurance agents, or any other licensed professional.
2. Hire a lawyer because they know the ins and outs of your state, and incorporate your CPA to know the tax implications of each entity structure.
3. The three major issues practitioners in North Carolina have faced include bad patient hand-offs between nurses, patient abandonment, and transportation of medication.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast speaks with Rachel Groves and Ray Forsythe, Co-Founders of the Young Empowered Stroke Survivors (YESS) Foundation. They walk us through their experiences as stroke survivors and the challenges they overcame during their recovery. They also share how their foundation assists young stroke survivors and how best to support the foundation.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Rachel is a nurse practitioner. She was 32 years old and married with two young children when she suffered from a bilateral vestibular stroke that made her temporarily lose her ability to see, talk, and walk.
• Rachel still gets stroke symptoms occasionally, but she and her family have learned to live with her “quirks.” However, she no longer can work full-time due to cognitive fatigue which affects her ability to think, process, and speak.
• According to the American Heart Association, between 2000 and 2010, the number of people aged 25 to 44 who were hospitalized with stroke increased nearly 43%. Those numbers have gone up since COVID.
• According to a national survey, three out of four adults would delay seeking medical care after experiencing warning symptoms or a transient ischemic attack (TIA).
• Ray was 41, married with 6 children, at the top of his career in the automotive luxury industry, and in peak health when he had a hemorrhagic stroke located in the central brain stem. It temporarily affected his ability to speak, see, and function.
• He wasn’t expected to live and if he did, he wouldn’t be able to walk or speak. He pushed himself during his inpatient rehab at Brooks Rehabilitation. The true challenge came when he was discharged because he had no one to talk and he felt lost.
• He first met Rachel at a stroke awareness event in 2019. They founded the YESS Foundation out of sheer frustration as they discovered a lack of support for young stroke survivors.
• They want to step out, pay it forward, and make a difference. They believe you choose to become a victim or a victor. It takes grit, persistence, and dedication.
• Within the foundation, both Rachel and Ray run support groups.
• Aside from financial or medical support, stroke survivors want people to listen to them and understand what they are going through.
• Ray and Rachel have relied on friends and family for financial support, and they have also invested their own money into the foundation.
• There were several fundraising events planned but then COVID happened. Currently, they’re receiving funding from private donors.
• You can donate to the YESS Foundation through the website or Amazon Smile. See the Resources section for the website link.
• They are planning a kickstart event with the Seattle Seahawks, where Ray’s son plays football.
• They’re also working on a Buddy Support program with UCF where speech therapy and physical therapy students accompany families on outings to help with patient care so family members can relax.
• The YESS Foundation is looking for volunteers to deliver meals, bring stroke survivors to appointments, and provide “buddy support.”

3 KEY POINTS:

1. The YESS Foundation is a grassroots nonprofit that promotes stroke awareness in young people and helps support young stroke survivors on their recovery journey.
2. Running a nonprofit and raising money to keep it going is tough. It’s just like running a business but profits are distributed across the nonprofit to fund its services.
3. The YESS Foundation is accepting financial aid and volunteers so the foundation can provide a variety of services to help not only stroke survivors but also their families.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“It doesn’t matter how big or small - whether it’s a donation or time - it’s all helpful and it’s positively impacting families.” - Rachel Groves

“It’s not tangible items these stroke survivors want. They want somebody to understand what they’re going through” - Ray Forsythe

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks about standing orders and how to leverage them to run your practice. The most important factors to consider are being safe, practical, and state-compliant per your clinic’s location.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Healthcare clinicians cannot autonomously evaluate patients and prescribe treatment plans. They need providers to write orders.
• When considering whether something is allowed, ethical, or safe, put yourself in the patient’s shoes - what would you want?
• Clinic owners who do not have access to in-house providers or who are not providers themselves have gotten in trouble for implementing standing orders when a patient wasn’t seen by a provider.
• Patients must be evaluated before giving orders to be safe and ethical.
• You can easily have a part-time provider who can utilize telemedicine to see patients.
• Providers need to verify what was ordered and ensure that it is appropriate within 24 hours so the patient doesn’t continuously get unnecessary treatment.
• The important thing to remember is don’t cut corners to maximize business. Always structure proper implementation for standing orders.
• Jason recommends the following resources: Board of Medicine, Board of Pharmacy, Board of Nursing, your scope of practice, and regulations.
• If you remain in doubt, hire an attorney.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Standing orders have to be safe, practical, and compliant within state regulatory guidelines.
2. Having patients evaluated by a provider might cost a little more, but it’s the cost of doing business, and it’s the right thing to do.
3. Instead of having a blanket standing order for every treatment available and then getting your clinic shut down, hire a part-time provider and do teleconsultations.

TWEETABLE QUOTES

“Always remember to put yourself in the patient’s shoes.” - Jason Duprat

“Make sure the patient is actually getting evaluated for the treatment being provided.” - Jason Duprat

“Just because your practice is a business, it doesn’t mean you should cut corners wherever possible so you can maximize profits.” - Jason Duprat

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast explains how and why you should leave your job if it no longer makes you happy. He shares his recommendations for looking at alternative career options and what types of changes to make. He also stresses the importance of changing your mindset to take the necessary steps to achieve your goals.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• There’s not a lot of freedom or autonomy in the healthcare space anymore, but it’s easier to stay in your current job (even if it makes you unhappy) because you’ve already invested time, money, and effort.
• It’s okay to be scared of change. Fear is innate and helps us survive risks.
• If you’re spending more than 20% of your time in an unhappy place and doing tasks you don’t want to do, make a change.
• Move away from pain to pleasure. Consider entrepreneurship, a new career, or a new employer. You’ll know when it’s time to make the change once you’ve exceeded your pain threshold.
• Your personal assets are always at risk when you’re employed or you’re a contractor in the healthcare space.
• Burnout causes mental and physical exhaustion. You lose interest in doing other activities because any free time is spent recovering.
• Working in healthcare—especially if you work for an employer—can be very stressful because you need to be at peak performance levels at all times. Healthcare requires mental fortitude.
• Jason’s first business venture was an online training program to prepare for the nursing boards. After learning about ketamine, he opened a practice and later, launched an online course.
• If you can learn medical skills, you can learn the necessary skills to make a transition.
• Decide to make the change - you don’t have to tolerate what you’re not happy with.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. The more burned out you are, the higher the chance of making mistakes on the job—and you cannot make any mistakes when you work in healthcare. If you make a mistake, you could get sued personally, professionally, and criminally.
2. Do whatever you need to do to make yourself happier, to put yourself in a better situation, and to give yourself something to aspire towards.
3. Make that decision to change and then put in the work!

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“You have to make the decision and relentlessly pursue alternatives because something will catch traction.” - Jason Duprat

“You have what it takes to create whatever it is you want.” - Jason Duprat

“Nothing will happen until you flip that switch in your mind.” - Jason Duprat

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Travis Hornsby, Founder of the Student Loan Planner, and Host of the Student Loan Planner podcast. Travis looks back on his journey as a bond trader-turned-business owner. He also offers advice on personal finance and scaling a sustainable business.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Inspired by his grandfather, Travis became interested in finance, graduated with a degree in economics, and traded bonds for a few years.
• Travis “got his feet wet" as a bond trader. His market included cities and municipalities - he gave money to cities and states for building projects.

• He scaled his business using the flywheel model. This model focuses on always pushing forward, putting in the repetition, and building momentum until you reach a breakthrough.
• Travis explains what a bond is and what trading mutual funds look like.
• He also discusses why he invests in index funds and why he became a chartered financial analyst.
• When it comes to launching your business, start with low price points to build a reputation and then use your good ratings to justify market positioning and gradual rate increases.
• Online content is an ideal way to attract customers and build profit. Creating and managing the content takes time so hire people and build a team.
• Travis and Jason compare the flywheel method versus the venture capital method.
• As an entrepreneur, set your goals based on lifestyle, impact, and profitability.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Student Loan Planner aims to help people with 6-figure student loan debts get to a 6-figure net worth through investing.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast explains why he no longer provides one-on-one coaching or consulting. He highlights the advantages of transitioning to group coaching and creating online courses to help scale your business.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• In late 2017 and early 2018, Jason offered one-on-one consulting for ketamine therapy to share his knowledge and pay it forward by helping others.
• One-on-one consulting is a good business model yet it requires a great deal of time and it’s not scalable.
• Entrepreneurs should create assets, something that puts money into your wallet or bank account consistently.
• Do not trade your time for money - this is the opposite of creating an asset.
• Group coaching and online learning allow you to maximize your time while building assets because you get paid more per hour and you reach more people.
• If you’re just getting started in your business, Jason advises launching with one-on-one coaching to develop your craft and share stories. Once you master your craft, you can move to group coaching.
• If you have a business that’s 100% dependent on you and your ability to produce, you simply own your job.
• Give yourself credit for the accomplishments you’ve achieved and then help others achieve the same thing.
• Turn your superpower into a business that can generate $5-10k per month. For Jason, his side hustle in ketamine therapy blew up. He now offers three online courses - the Cash-Based Practice course, the Ketamine Infusion Therapy Program, and the IV Nutrient Therapy Program. The Ketamine and the IV programs generate more than six figures per month.
• Jason has a new course coming online - the Course Creator Academy. If you’re interested in being notified for enrollment, please reference the first link in the Resource section.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. You can charge more for one-on-one coaching, however, this model requires a great deal of time. If you continuously trade your time for money, the business you’re building is not a real asset.
2. If you do group coaching and combine this with an online course, you’re paid substantially more for a fraction of your time.
3. A services business is easy (and fun!) to get up and running. Structure it around your area of expertise and help other people achieve what you’ve already accomplished.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“That’s what it boils down to... I didn’t want to continue trading my time for dollars, and I also wanted to create an asset and build a real business.” - Jason Duprat

“Once you start to train your mind to think like a business person... you’ll start to pinpoint all sorts of different areas of inefficiencies in your business... even your personal life...” - Jason Duprat

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Cassie Lane, CRNA, DNAP, and Founder of Injectables EDU. She shares how she opened her aesthetics practice, correcting misconceptions about Botox and fillers. She also offers advice for nurse practitioners who are looking to get into this industry.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Cassie started working at the early age of 15 at a day spa. She became a CRNA in 2012 and currently works part-time as a 1099 and at her aesthetics practice.
• Cassie believes CRNAs are well-suited for aesthetics because they know how to use needles safely, work procedurally, and they understand anatomy.
• A friend of hers inspired her to get into the aesthetics business, however, she faced difficulties while getting started. This included misguided and untrustworthy information about injections.
• Cassie saw a need to provide a reputable, reliable educational resource so she created her own online and in-person training program.
• Her business, Injectables EDU, provides business, legal, and training resources, including information on state regulations.
• She also created a comparative analysis to help you choose the best botox and dermal filler courses.
• When you own an aesthetics practice, clients will initially ask for Botox. Once they learn more about your clinic’s expertise, you can expand your service offer. It's not about selling - it's about educating.
• Jason and Cassie highly recommend the lean startup model, starting small and aligning growth with achievable business milestones.
• Her practice is cash-based so she doesn't accept insurance.
• Guerilla marketing on social media platforms, especially Facebook, is a way to get clients to your website if you don’t have the budget for paid ads.
• Cassie recommends SCORE for accessing free resources to plan, launch, and grow your business and to learn from a pool of mentors as well.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Cassie started Injectables EDU to provide reliable information and resources for anyone interested in opening an aesthetics practice.
2. There’s a great deal of skepticism when it comes to Botox because there are many unlicensed injectors. Be the expert and educate clients.
3. Contact your state or national professional association for assistance learning about state laws for starting an aesthetics business that’s within your scope of practice. Also, speak with a malpractice lawyer who has experience in dealing with med spas and aesthetics.

“You have to do a lot of training - but you have to start somewhere.” - Cassie Lane

“Truly understand injectables from the bottom up. We’re medical providers and this is an aesthetic treatment.” - Cassie Lane

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast explains why high-level mastermind coaching programs offer a ton of value. He shares features of the $25k mastermind he recently signed up for with Russell Brunson. He also offers advice for people who are considering joining a coaching program, highlighting the importance of taking action.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• A master’s or doctorate course can cost $2,000 up to $7,000, however, a lot of the information is outdated and not applicable in the real world.
• Mastermind programs provide relevant information and resources because they’re often taught by people who are in the thick of running a business.
• Enroll in a mastermind led by someone who’s where you’re aspiring to be, and focus on the ROI instead of the sticker price.
• Jason enrolled in Brunson’s entry-level program, Two Comma Club X because he wants to network with like-minded people.
• The program provides a year of coaching and training and includes an online course, two different types of coaches, a focused path (E-commerce or expert), two in-person events, and a weekly live lesson with an instructor.
• Participants are assigned a ‘momentum coach’ to help adjust their mindset and a ‘progress coach’ who reiterates lesson content and answers questions.
• Making plans and reading books is a good way to get started, but you need to commit and keep pushing to get results.
• If what you’re doing every day doesn’t excite you, get out of that situation or environment. Get pumped for the future and dive in!

3 KEY POINTS:

1. High-level coaching programs are almost always led by someone who’s successfully running a business. They come with extra support, and you can connect with other like-minded individuals.
2. These high-level programs give you the tools you need to overcome obstacles and get in the right mindset to take your business to the next level.
3. Don’t look at mastermind programs as an expense but as an investment. Keep taking action to move yourself and your business forward.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Blair Thielemier, PharmD, and founder of Pharmapreneur Academy and the Elevate Pharmacy Virtual Summit. Blair talks about the ups and downs of her transition from employee to entrepreneur, highlighting the importance of working with a mentor. She also discusses the challenges of starting a consulting business and a virtual summit, offering advice for people who want to venture into these startup areas.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Blair knew early on she wanted to work in healthcare, and it was her love for biochemistry and physiology that led her to become a pharmacist.
• After pharmacy school, she worked for a small independently-owned community pharmacy. Eventually, she wanted to do something more challenging so she switched to a clinical hospital role.
• When she lost her job in 2014, Blair found support from a network of independent community pharmacies. She was six months pregnant and picked up PRN shifts. As a result, this is the community she now serves and helps through her online academy and virtual summit.
• Medication Therapy Management (MTM) is an umbrella term for the variety of services pharmacists offer. Pharmacists conduct a comprehensive review and suggest interventions for patients. Ultimately, MTM is what reignited Blair’s passion.
• She’s an advocate for pharmacists because, at the federal level, they’re not recognized as healthcare providers.
• After giving up a director position to launch her pharmacy consulting business, Blair dove into business podcasts and worked with a mentor to put her in the right mindset.
• Healthcare professionals tend to fall back on certifications and more education, but entrepreneurship is a challenge because there’s no curriculum or rule book to follow.
• Blair grew her email list to 100 people and decided to launch the Pharmapreneur Academy in 2015. She had eight people sign up as her beta group. The course was $297 and offered six lessons.
• She then doubled the enrollment and added a seventh course on chronic care management based on requests from the beta group. And after this session, she switched to a membership model for the online academy.
• After finding inspiration from a podcast and learning from other experts at virtual summits, Blair launched the Elevate Pharmacy Virtual Summit in 2017 and it’s been held every year since then.
• The benefits of going virtual include being able to launch events during the pandemic and scaling your message as a healthcare professional.
• Find a mentor/coach who’s doing what you want to do and don’t be afraid to pay them for their expertise. If you feel uncomfortable, that’s a sign you’re on the right path.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. A full-time job is not a guarantee you’ll have a stable career. Have a backup plan in case life decides to throw you a curveball. Consider starting your own business and taking ownership of your time and freedom.
2. Pharmapreneur Academy provides pharmacists with a framework to leverage their skills as consultants. It started with one-on-one coaching programs and courses before shifting to a membership site.
3. The Elevate Pharmacy Virtual Summit gives pharmacists a voice and adequate representation, averaging 1500-2000 attendees each year.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“Maybe my purpose in entrepreneurship is to have an impact on patients throughout the country.” - Blair Thielemier

[Leverage your knowledge in a new way.” - Blair Thielemier

“Pharmacists—at the core of what we do—are very entrepreneurial, very innovative, and very community-centered.” - Blair Thielemier

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks about the importance of staying organized and shares what he’s learned after years of running a business. He also discusses a great software tool that will help you manage your projects, team, and communications more efficiently.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• When you run your own business, it’s important to get your to-dos done and remain organized.
• Systemizing is a must. This can be a struggle and for Jason, it took a few years to learn how to streamline tasks.
• Projects aren’t stressful; the details are. Become a production expert and alleviate stress. One great software tool to help you do this is Asana.
• For example, when Jason has a new lesson for a course, he creates the main task within Asana and then adds subtasks. He can include links in the task description and within each task, assign followers so team members remain in the loop.
• Communicating via email can be confusing and it can quickly create disorganization when several people are involved in a single project. This is particularly true if you’re working with dozens of contractors, freelancers, and staff.
• Asana alleviates this chaos by centralizing the work and communications associated with team projects.
• Asana can be used to organize personal tasks as well, which is something Jason does. When you log in to the dashboard, you can easily see your to-do list for the day.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Making mental to-do lists, using sticky notes, or keeping track of tasks through a calendar is fine but having a systematized way to handle everything that needs to get done for your business is an absolute must.
2. Asana is one of the best software tools Jason uses across multiple projects. One of the benefits is you can create teams and manage communications for specific projects within the software program.
3. Letting a software program organize your tasks or to-do lists leaves your mind free to think and work more creatively.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“You need to be organized in order to lead an effective and organized team.” - Jason Duprat

“As the business owner, you are setting the direction for where you’re going.” - Jason Duprat

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Ankit Gupta, founder, and CEO of Bicycle Health. Ankit looks back on his experiences with Pulse News and LinkedIn, sharing advice for people thinking about starting their own business. He talks about launching Bicycle Health and his passion for treating opioid use disorder.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Ankit grew up in Mumbai, India. He always enjoyed writing code and programming. He discovered his passion for user-centric design while working on his master’s at Stanford.
• Ankit noticed when people read news online, they had to open and toggle between different tabs across various publications. To solve this problem, he created the mobile app Pulse News.
• Pulse News started as a standalone app and later became the foundation for LinkedIn’s news feed, which creates a personalized newspaper for users.
• When it comes to solving a problem, Ankit advises entrepreneurs to take user feedback to heart.
• He also believes a small team of dedicated people can create more value than a company with hundreds of employees.
• Ankit worked at LinkedIn for 3 years, integrating the news app and also working on startup projects on the B2B side of the company.
• He left LinkedIn and traveled for two years, pursuing educational opportunities and spending time with his family. During these two years, he learned about the problems in healthcare and technology while working on a project with a nonprofit in India.
• He launched Bicycle Health to treat opioid use disorder utilizing telemedicine. Ankit learned about the problems surrounding this disorder while shadowing an anesthesiologist.
• A special license is needed to prescribe suboxone. Clinics offering this treatment can only treat 30 to 100 patients in the first year—275 patients max after that.
• Ankit was the initial developer of Bicycle Health, but more than writing code, he enjoyed growing the business.
• COVID accelerated the demand for telemedicine. Regulations have changed as well so Bicycle Health works with a law firm to be able to meet this demand.
• Ankit created a nonprofit, Docs and Hackers, to improve the practice of medicine with technology.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. The Pulse News app, which aggregates news articles, started out as a school project, became a full-blown business, and was later acquired by LinkedIn.
2. The stigma on addiction gets in the way of accessing treatment so Bicycle Health became an online provider of medication-assisted treatment for opioid dependence.
3. Building a solution and going into entrepreneurship is easy once you identify the population you want to help and understand what their needs and desires are.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“It’s more about really understanding who your users are as a human being.” - Ankit Gupta

“The issues around convenience, affordability, privacy, and access are something that telemedicine can really help overcome.” - Ankit Gupta

“Entrepreneurship is a really satisfying job.” - Ankit Gupta

• If people could become rich by simply following a 10-step plan, more people would be starting businesses.
• The top performers in any industry, business or niche, are the people who put in the hard work to get extraordinary results.
• Socialize, interact, and learn from other people to get your mindset in check.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Dr. Roxie Mooney, CEO and Healthcare Commercialization Strategist for Legacy DNA. Roxie is the author of “How Health Innovators Maximize Market Success” and the host of the Health Innovators podcast. She shares advice for entrepreneurs looking to bring innovation to the market. She also offers tips for digital marketing and podcasting, including why every B2B should host a podcast.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Roxie’s great-grandfather was a pharmacist who had three different pharmacies in New Orleans, but she credits her grandmother—who worked as an Avon saleswoman for 27 years—for shaping her entrepreneurial spirit and path.
• Roxie has a bachelor’s degree in communication, a master’s in leadership, and a doctorate in business administration with a marketing specialization. Her doctorate thesis was on the commercialization of technology and innovation in healthcare.
• She started Legacy DNA in 2010 as a healthcare marketing agency.
• Roxie highlights the advantages of investing in digital marketing/sales channels and the challenges of working virtually.
• 95% of innovations that are brought to market fail to reach an adequate level of customer adoption or financial ROI.
• You must test and validate your business solution. Validate research and customer discovery are mission-critical.
• Roxie dives into the five “co’s” of product co-creation: co-ideation, co-evaluation, co-design, co-test, and co-launch.
• Her doctoral research prepared her for the process of writing her book, and she turned her book into an interactive workbook with digital content.
• Content marketing is important for developing credibility and authority, particularly when you interview influencers.
• Be customer-obsessed versus product or service obsessed.
• Podcasts are a way to cultivate relationships and deliver value before selling a product prospective clients may or may not need.
• Roxie talks about the frameworks and resources she developed for early adoption, co-creation, pivoting, and piloting.
• Entrepreneurs tend to get consumed by their businesses. Make time for family and take care of yourselves.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Test and validate your business idea. Even though a problem may exist, this doesn’t necessarily mean you can build a viable business model. It’s mission-critical to conduct validation research and customer discovery.
2. A podcast is a trifecta of market research, content marketing, and sales.
3. Roxie’s tips for creating podcast content and staying consistent include hiring a third party to help you get started, finding the right mix of influencer episodes and sales episodes, and forgoing vanity metrics.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks about the primary reasons your business should consider hosting a raffle, giveaway, or sweepstakes. He also highlights seven steps to follow if you do decide to host an online raffle to help ensure success.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Raffles, giveaways, and sweepstakes help generate traffic to your website or landing page and reward people who have actively engaged with you and your business.
• They work best when you have awesome prizes your audience finds valuable and when you target people already affiliated with you such as proven buyers, email subscribers, or program members.
• Raffles and giveaways are not ideal for audiences unfamiliar with your business. Generally, these prospects don’t have interest in your product or service - they’re only in it for the freebie. Freebies don't attract the best type of customers.
• There are seven steps Jason recommends for conducting a raffle.
• First, determine your desired outcome. Building hype for a new product or service, growing your email list, and obtaining reviews are good options. Creating brand awareness or growing your following aren't good options.
• Next, choose your prizes. Make sure your prizes have monetary or sentimental value. If you have high-ticket prizes, hire an attorney because you may run into issues or legal ramifications.
• Third, set your rules and a deadline to participate, and post these ahead of time.
• Fourth, promote the raffle throughout and one week ahead of time across your social media channels and via email.
• Next, it’s time to pick the winners. Jason advises doing this lottery-style and conducting a live drawing so participants can see how winners are selected.
• Once you select the winners, follow up. Also, follow up with participants who didn't win. Consider offering a coupon code or a complimentary 30-minute consultation call to this group.
• Lastly, track results. Be sure to analyze if the effort was worth it.
• There’s still time to participate in the HEA raffle! Join the HEA for Digital Businesses Facebook Group (see link in Resource section). Within the group, click the link to rate and review the HEA podcast and your name will be entered into the raffle. It only takes 60 seconds and you’ll have a chance to win a HEA swag bag, a Fitbit, or an Amazon gift card. The first drawing was 9/17 and the second drawing will be 9/24 along with the grand prize drawing. Visit the group page for further details. Jason is giving away more than 4k in prizes!

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Raffles, giveaways, and sweepstakes work best when the prizes are really good and when you invite people already in your audience. However, they don’t really bring in new customers, subscribers, or buyers.
2. There are seven steps for running a successful raffle: determine the desired outcome, choose the prizes, establish rules and a deadline, promote the raffle, select the winners, follow up with all participants, and track results.
3. Start small to test the waters and then up the ante by increasing the quality and value of your prizes.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Dr. Eric Ehle, DO and medical director of Well Life Family Medicine. Eric shares his experiences on becoming a practitioner, including what he’s learned as a practice owner. He talks about the importance of integrative medicine and offers advice to other healthcare professionals thinking about opening a clinic.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Eric is board-certified in family medicine, medical acupuncture, and integrative medicine. He’s an assistant professor at Texas Tech University and a faculty member with the IVT Academy.
• He went to film school but seeing his dad—who was a chiropractor—inspired him to become a certified EMT, earn a bachelor’s degree in nutrition sciences, and eventually, open his own practice.
• Initially, he started by seeing patients at his dad’s clinic and then launched his own practice once his patient base grew.
• Jason and Eric discuss the pros and cons of learning on the job versus formal business training and the advantage of having a mentor.
• When you own a practice, you can implement whatever you’re interested in or whatever helps your patients. You can prioritize quality over quantity.
• Integrative medicine and functional medicine overlap in places, but they differ in terms of approach and style. Think of integrative medicine as the umbrella and functional medicine as the subset.
• Integrative medicine utilizes both conventional and alternative approaches to treat the whole patient.
• Eric believes once you see the light, it’s hard to ignore integrative medicine. It opens the door to out-of-the-box thinking.
• When it comes to launching your own healthcare business, focus on the destination. Sell the experience and the outcomes to acquire more patients.
• Eric determines what services to add to his clinic based on three things: growing the business, improving the bottom line, and enhancing patient outcomes.
• IV therapy is one of the integrative medical services he provides. The team customizes IVs to address each client’s specific needs.
• When the timing is right, consider diversifying by offering ancillary services to generate multiple revenue streams.
• The best way to grow your clinic? Find new patients, get them to trust you, and then let them see what else you have to offer.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Eric grew up with a passion for medicine and an end goal of opening a practice so he took the necessary courses and surrounded himself with people who did what he wanted to do.
2. The bottom line is to pursue what you love. Figure out your passion, purpose, and do some soul searching.
3. Get patients to know, like, and trust you. Word of mouth is everything.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“Determine where you’re going and then how you’re going to get there.” - Dr. Eric Ehle

OVERVIEW:

Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks about the importance of risk mitigation as you plan for the future of your business. He shares practical advice for navigating risks such as industry changes, new competition, and emerging innovations. Be sure to listen to the end of the episode to learn about the upcoming HEA raffle Jason will host on Facebook.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Business constantly evolves. You have to think through potential risks and “what ifs” to survive anything that comes your way.
• As the founder of your business, you must guide it into the future to not only survive but thrive! Be aware of trends and make plans to pivot and solve problems.
• Jason identifies some of the things that may impact your business—innovation, macro and microeconomics, federal and state tax regulations, and shifts in adjacent industries.
• Every few months, play devil’s advocate or the “what if” game to plan for the short-term, which is three to seven years. Top military leaders do this and it’s called wargaming.
• Use Google Trends to track shifts in different industries over time. Look at keywords related to your business. Monitor the fluctuations and don’t ride a super flat or declining keyword trend.
• Avoid diversifying your business until you have six to nine months of cash reserves in your business bank account to cover payroll and rent.
• At the same time, don’t keep too much money in your reserves. The FDIC only insures up to $250,000 of business income in a bank account.
• Jason is launching a raffle for participants who rate and review the HEA podcast. The raffle will run 9/13-9/23 with a grand prize drawing on 9/24.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast chats with Allison Sesso, Executive Director of RIP Medical Debt. She talks about the issue of medical debt, how RIP Medical Debt was established, and what model it operates on. She also offers advice to people who want to donate to a nonprofit or are looking to start one.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Allison is a born and bred New Yorker with a background in political science and public administration. She worked with 200 nonprofits during her tenure at the Human Services Council of New York. She joined RIP Medical Debt in January 2020—just before the pandemic started.
• People don’t have enough money to pay their medical bills, but the healthcare industry expects them to pay these bills out of their pocket.
• We tend to spend a lot on healthcare but not on the social determinants of health.
• Craig Antico and Jerry Ashton leveraged their expertise in debt collection and started RIP Medical Debt in 2014. The company has a “debt engine” that pairs donor dollars to the available debt.
• A key donation came from MacKenzie Scott, one of the richest women in the world, who generously donated $50 million.
• One in five Americans has medical debt. The total amount of medical debt is around $1 trillion and it’s the top cause of bankruptcy.
• Allison talks about how COVID affected the healthcare system and medical debt. She also shares her thoughts on the Affordable Care Act.
• About 70% of hospitals do not sell their debt at the risk of getting a bad reputation.
• 501(c)(3) organizations do not pay taxes and there are strict rules that must be followed. A few of these include you must have a board of directors to oversee operations. You cannot support for-profit entities and you must remain nonpartisan.
• Allison shares the difficulties of fundraising and what people should do when trying to raise money.
• John Oliver, host of the Last Week Tonight show on HBO did an episode on medical debt and mentioned RIP Medical Debt. The day after, their website crashed and donations skyrocketed.
• You can’t be shy about asking for money. Articulate the vision and how the money will be used. If you’re excited about the mission, people will get behind your charity.
• Allison warns people against starting a charity on their own. There are nonprofit associations—within each state and at a national scale—that can help.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. RIP Medical Debt is a charitable mission-driven organization that uses donations to buy portfolios of bad debt from hospitals. It’s abolished $4.9 billion of debt to date.
2. Be aware of nonprofits with unusually low overhead rates, and take note of who’s donated to the charity you’re interested in.
3. If you want to start a 501(c)(3), make sure your idea is new. Know what you’re getting into and prepare yourself for the work that needs to be done.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast weighs in on some of the most common excuses people make for not starting their own business. He provides solutions to the top objections and gives examples for overcoming the hurdles you may face when it comes to launching a startup.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• The top excuse Jason hears when it comes to leaving a W2 job to launch a new business - I need my income to pay the bills.
• In addition to income, he also hears - My full-time job requires 50-60 hours of work per week.
• If this is the case, then maybe you’re not in the right job. Entrepreneurs find solutions. Excuses, objections, and hurdles can all be overcome.
• You have to put the work in yourself. If you can’t do that, you don’t want it bad enough.
• One option is simple. Look for another job that doesn’t require so much of your time.
• Another option is to communicate with your employer. Ask if you can split your full-time position with somebody else so you can work part-time.
• This is a popular model that’s growing, especially in healthcare due to hospital and corporate medicine burnout.
• Another solution Jason offers is finding a flexible position or working as a 1099 employee. When you do this, you can work part-time, as a PRN, or even full-time and then take extended time off.
• Jason also suggests leveraging your license to provide services for patients or other businesses remotely. This saves commute time which you can put towards working on your business.
• You will have to pay your dues. Don’t quit your job to start a business. Instead, start lean and part-time to get the kinks worked out. And when your business is making good money, then take the leap.
• In the end, the choices are yours to make. You are in complete control. You can make money on your terms and have financial freedom.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. If your excuse for not starting a business is that you do not have the time, find a more flexible position or work on a part-time basis.
2. If you’re thinking of becoming an independent contractor, explore remote options. There’s a tremendous amount of opportunity for remote work.
3. You don’t have to restrict yourself to working in a hospital or a clinic just because you’re a healthcare practitioner.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Chen Yen, founder, and CEO of Fill My Holistic Practice. Chen reflects on her professional journey from pharmacist to recruiter to business owner. She also offers tips for health practitioners—especially introverts—who want to increase their streams of income through public speaking.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Chen started her career as a pharmacist serving Native American communities. However, she struggled because she felt jaded and misaligned.
• She shifted her focus and launched a recruiting business for pharmacists, helping match experienced pharmacists with the right jobs.
• Chen started her recruiting business with little business knowledge. She hired mentors to guide her along the way. Her advice? As you walk down your entrepreneurial path, invest in mentors.
• She grew her recruiting business to seven figures and then shifted her focus once again.
• Chen had always been interested in holistic medicine so her next business launch, which she runs today, is helping holistic practitioners grow and scale successful practices.
• She teaches practice owners how to market their business in a way that’s true to their identity - particularly for those who are introverts like herself.
• One of the greatest challenges Chen faced was - how will people find out about her business? Instead of running ads, she began talking to individuals and groups and providing education about her service offer.
• Chen believes public speaking is one of the fastest ways to grow a business.
• Audiences don’t have to be large, they can be small. She once spoke to an audience of ten and got 7 clients.
• Chen also talks about performance anxiety or the fear of public speaking and how she was able to overcome her fears because of her desire to educate.
• In addition to public speaking, you can also grow your business through online courses.
• Jason and Chen discuss the advantage of hosting webinars and online courses as a revenue stream.
• You can host your webinar but you have to do the legwork. An easier way is to have other webinar hosts feature you as a guest educator and speaker.
• Find a working business model that resonates with you - one that aligns with your personality and lifestyle.
• Once you’ve created a sellable product or a system that works and it’s converting, automate it so you’re free to do other things.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Public speaking is one of the fastest ways to reach more people and educate them about your service and business.
2. For people with a fear of public speaking, redirect anxious energies by focusing on what you want to communicate or share. Chen also recommends doing lion’s breath—a calming yoga technique.
3. Focus on one or two things and do them well before exploring other avenues.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks about the top four reasons for opening a cash-based practice. He highlights the challenges practice owners face when it comes to insurance reimbursements. He also provides tips and options for anyone thinking about starting a cash-based practice.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• There’s a misconception that clinicians and healthcare providers need to accept insurance to create a successful practice.
• Many healthcare professionals are moving away from accepting insurance. There are niche practices finding success through cash-based models, including surgical and primary care.
• The first reason for having a cash-based practice is there’s less regulation and you have more freedom as the practice owner.
• When you accept insurance, you’ll need to manage your revenue cycles. This will include submitting bills with some getting declined and some requiring resubmitting. This creates massive problems and issues.
• When it comes to revenue cycle management, you should hire someone or a company to help you, which means giving up 4-7% of your profits.
• The second reason for considering a cash-based practice is you get paid upfront. If you accept insurance, you’ll experience delays in payment 30-60-90 days.
• Insurance-based practices need a lot of cash in the bank to fund business expenses while waiting for the stream of income to come in.
• The third reason is you can provide better service with a cash-based practice. Your patient pool will expand because the middle and upper classes are willing to pay for better service.
• Jason shares his experiences with his primary care physician who’s part of a direct pay practice.
• Jason pays $70 a month which includes service benefits like being seen the same day, having a short wait time for appointments, and getting cost-effective generic prescriptions filled.
• Finally, the last reason for starting a cash-based practice is employers are looking to save money. Employee premiums are rising 6-7% annually and employers are eating this expense.
• One option employers are exploring is providing memberships to direct primary care and supplementing with catastrophic insurance.
• As a clinician, you can easily sell direct primary care to employers.
• Jason is considering offering a new course focused on cash-based practices. If you’re thinking about opening a niche practice, contact Jason to share the types of services you’d like to offer and other topics of interest. Contact info: jason@ketamineacademy.com.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. You’ll have a massive amount of freedom as the owner of a cash-based practice.
2. Because cash-based services are paid upfront, you don’t have to deal with revenue cycle management issues and can provide better service for your patients.
3. Insurance premiums continue to rise so employers are looking into alternatives like memberships to direct primary care and cheaper catastrophic health insurance.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“A cash-based practice is where it’s at from the provider standpoint and the patient’s standpoint.” - Jason Duprat

“To me, it’s a no-brainer. Why wouldn’t you want to start a cash-based practice?” - Jason Duprat

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast speaks with Matthew Zachary, Founder, and CEO of OffScrip Media. Matthew talks about launching his nonprofit organization Stupid Cancer and his audio broadcast network, OffScrip Media. As a cancer survivor himself, Matthew also shares his personal experiences and passion for patient advocacy. This interview contains explicit language.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Before graduating from college, Matthew was diagnosed with brain cancer. He was given six months to live and told surgery was the only option.
• Following the surgery, he remained unhealthy for five years. He found hope and inspiration by playing the piano, which became a part of his rehabilitation.
• Matthew launched his nonprofit, Stupid Cancer in 2007. He wanted to provide a voice for young adults living with cancer and build community instead of isolation.
• He launched the first health radio show in 2007. He built the first international trade show for young adult cancer survivors and also developed an e-commerce website.
• Under his leadership, Stupid Cancer became a powerful brand in cancer advocacy. His nonprofit had an impressive portfolio of revenue channels and used net margin profits to pay the bills and reinvest in growth.
• Matthew stepped down as the CEO of Stupid Cancer and became the strategic advisor in 2019.
• Matthew advises running a charity like a business. There are challenges when starting a charity.
• He references Dan Pallotta as an expert on cause marketing and someone who understands the fragility of the 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.
• You can grow and scale a charity without donors.
• You need hardcore customer experience to appreciate volunteer management.
• After taking a sabbatical in 2019, Matthew realized he missed being behind the mic. He launched OffScrip Media, the first digital health podcast network focused on patient advocacy, education, and empowerment.
• OffScrip Media features nine shows, including Out of Patients, which he hosts.
• Today, Matthew is focused on scaling his media company by acquiring and incubating podcasts. He advises on audience cultivation and monetization.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Matthew’s cancer diagnosis and personal experiences inspired him to start Stupid Cancer. His nonprofit ignited a global movement advocating for adolescent and young adult cancer programs.
2. A nonprofit organization is still a business, and running one doesn’t mean you cannot make a profit.
3. Don’t start a podcast until you’ve done your due diligence.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast discusses how to open a healthcare practice with low startup and low overhead costs for under 20K. He recommends starting small in terms of space and staff. He also highlights certain services that don’t require expensive equipment to help further reduce costs.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• There are four key factors for starting lean when you open your healthcare practice.
• First, start small in terms of size. You don’t need a 7000-10,000 square foot space to launch your business.
• Also, sign a short-term lease for one year. Or consider renting an exam room from another clinician’s office.
• Most patients don’t care about the physical size of the practice. They care about the quality of care they’ll get and the results you can provide.
• Second, open your practice with you as the sole service provider. Be prepared to wear many hats; be ready to chart and manage administrative tasks.
• Labor will be one of the highest expenses incurred once you begin hiring clinicians to see and treat patients.
• Third, consider alternatives to a physical space such as a mobile, virtual, or home-based practice that allows you to make house calls or provide services at long-term facilities.
• Fourth, consider having an aesthetic focus (botox, microneedling, etc.) to help reduce equipment costs. Lower overhead means greater profits.
• There’s a misperception that healthcare practices are expensive to launch. If you keep overhead low and work lean, you can open for under $20,000.
• Reinvest profits to see more growth.
• Build your business and build tax deductions.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Start with a small practice or a small clinic.
2. Start with one or two clinicians. If you want to keep expenses low, be the sole clinician (initially) and then hire a part-time receptionist.
3. Aesthetics services including botox, microneedling, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, IV therapy, ketamine therapy, and hormone replacement therapy are some services that don’t require a lot of overhead in terms of equipment and supplies.

TWEETABLE QUOTES:

“We all want overhead to be low because overhead eats into profit.” - Jason Duprat

“There’s a big misconception that all medical practices cost a fortune to get started.” - Jason Duprat

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Shelley Christ, DNP, PMHNP, and Co-Owner of Hope for Healing. Shelley discusses her journey as a business owner and the steps she took to open her practice. She also offers advice for people who want to start their own practice.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Shelley is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and 30 years of experience as an RN.
• Hope for Healing opened in January 2021 in Avon, Connecticut. Once she completed the Ketamine Academy course, it took Shelley three months to open the practice. The course taught Shelley about scope of practice, state laws, malpractice insurance, as well as staffing and supply requirements.
• Shelley had owned a home health business so she was already familiar with policies and procedures, hiring people, and managing employees.
• Her goal for Hope for Healing is to create a spa-like atmosphere with a warm, welcoming environment and to ensure a high level of customer service. This includes someone always being available to answer the phone so patients can schedule appointments with no waiting. Comfort touches include massage and anti-gravity chairs, drinks, snacks, and blankets.
• Shelley talks about different models for cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
• She shares her own experiences with treatment-resistant depression which eventually led her to try ketamine therapy.
• Her advice to people who want to start their own practice: If you can’t go without the income from your work, go slow.
• Invest in a good marketing agency that understands what you’re trying to get across.
• When it comes to staffing, Shelley knew a lot of people already. She hired new staff through word-of-mouth and placed ads on LinkedIn and Indeed.
• Services are private pay. She does provide patients with a superbill that they can submit to their insurance companies.
• Shelley is passionate about her vision and the people she cares for. Her business focus is to attract, love, and nurture people.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Shelley’s previous experiences as a business owner, coupled with what she has learned from the Ketamine Academy course, have helped her launch and run her own practice.
2. Hope for Healing follows a holistic approach, combining low-dose ketamine infusions, medication management, and a short-term CBT program.
3. After her own positive experience with ketamine, Shelley feels her purpose is to help as many people as she can—people who suffer from depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Harry Nelson, founding partner of Nelson Hardiman, LLP and author of the bestselling book, “The United States of Opioids.” As a leading healthcare regulatory lawyer in America, Harry talks about his professional journey and shares advice for entrepreneurial practitioners interested in opening their own practice.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Harry was born in Brazil, grew up in Michigan, started his career in Chicago, and now resides in LA with his family.
• He stumbled into healthcare because he was fascinated by the regulatory state. Emerging technology and therapeutics led him to ketamine.
• Out of necessity, he started working with a solo practitioner who represented doctors in trouble, but he ended up identifying a compliance gap in the healthcare industry for small providers.
• Harry offers advice on how to find a good healthcare lawyer for professionals who want to open their own practice.
• He introduces the PC-MSO structure and explains how it works.
• Put value into the clinical practice brand you're creating. Adhere to the appropriate health and management models. Understand the risk issues and operationalize good legal advice.
• There’s a body of research supporting ketamine even though there’s no federal approval. Save articles and literature to back up your claims.
• Informed consent means risks, benefits and outcomes. Have a form, have a conversation and chart it.
• Laws state you cannot be paid for a referral so tread carefully when it comes to lead generation.
• Harry provides insight regarding the supervisory aspect for scope of practice and how to mitigate risks.
• If you find yourself in trouble, find a lawyer who knows about medical boards.
• Harry’s goal is to create communities to educate and protect people.

2. Before you set up a practice, have a conversation with an attorney to find creative solutions while making sure you’re meeting legal requirements.
3. Back up scientific claims with research. Get informed consent from patients and document protocols.

• 12% of customers expect a response in 15 minutes or less.
• Time to resolution, the window of time required to solve a problem or answer a question, is a metric business owners can monitor.
• Set up automated replies to acknowledge the person who emailed or texted you - your inquiry was received, we’re working on it and we’ll get back to you.
• Automated chatbots can be programmed to recognize specific questions or keywords. Chatbots are an excellent customer service tool for answering common questions.
• During business hours, hire virtual assistants to respond to inquiries to ensure a prompt response time and to provide more personalized customer support.
• It’s all about creating a great customer experience and building relationships.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. First response times need to be quick. It’s okay to acknowledge the inquiry instead of providing a full-fledged answer or a resolution.
2. Setting up automation may take some time and work, but it’s great for responding to people who post inquiries after business hours or during weekends.
3. Competitors will struggle to keep up with you if you manage to keep consistent response times of under 10 to 15 minutes.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Christi Myers, MS, EMT-P, CEO, Director, and Founder of Flow Integrative. Christi highlights the steps she took to open her practice and also talks about why it’s important to focus on the patient experience.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Christi has been a paramedic for the last 20 years and she’s been teaching for ten years.
• The mental health of her students and people in the healthcare industry motivated her to open her ketamine practice in Redlands, CA in November 2020. She recently moved her clinic to Encinitas in April 2021.
• It was a five-month process for Christi to open her practice. She asked a physician to join her and everything unfolded during COVID. Her advice? Step in 100%!
• Christi credits the Ketamine Academy course for helping her understand the legal aspects of the business, as well as scope of practice.
• She explains the difference between assisted psychotherapy and getting a low-dose ketamine infusion. The dosing structure depends on how people cope outside of therapy.
• People are struggling with depression and ketamine isn’t covered by insurance. So Christi created a nonprofit to help those who can’t afford treatments.
• She credits Osmind and Caretaker for being great partners and helping her with the launch and operations of the practice.
• Christi was able to source partners because of her working relationships as a paramedic.
• Christi provides an overview of her services and what it’s like to partner with a physician.
• Her patient experience includes providing space for patients to release emotion - for the clinic and staff to offer an open space and heart. They also provide gravity blankets to help patients feel grounded.
• The goal is to restore well-being using individualized, scientific-based therapeutic methods.
• There is no blanket approach for treating patients - it’s an intimate experience for each person.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. There’s a stigma about ketamine due to recreational abuse, but it can be beneficial for treating depression and anxiety—even PTSD—if given in small doses.
2. Christi hired an attorney to help her with the legal aspects of opening her practice. She then created two corporations, partnered with a physician, and utilized her knowledge in medicine and wellness.
3. Christi makes sure the psychotherapy sessions are not too clinical to ensure her clients feel safe and comfortable enough to help reach a breakthrough.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast presents an alternative school of thought regarding passion and success, drawing from his own experiences as an entrepreneur and business owner. He suggests focusing on outcomes and cultivating excitement rather than following your passion.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• You don’t have to love what you do to be happy in life.
• Sayings like “follow your passion” or “turn your passion into profit” shouldn’t be taken too literally. People tend to think if they’re not doing what they love, they’re on the wrong track or they’re a failure.
• It’s impossible to only do what you love—all day, every day—and still be successful.
• Jason asks his listeners to consider a new paradigm and a new thought process: Follow and cultivate excitement over passion. Your passion is not always your calling.
• Jason shares an anecdote about an Olympic gold medalist swimmer who was interviewed by Angela Duckworth for her book, “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance.”
• When the athlete was asked if he loved what he does, he responded: Do I enjoy or like the daily training and long hours? No. However, I do like being a champion and being good at what I do.
• Do the work to make your business thrive. And ask yourself - what’s your gold medal in business?
• Money impacts your outlook on getting necessary tasks done. It tips the scale and creates a greater tolerance.
• If you only do the easy and fun tasks, you’re not pushing yourself or building something greater and bigger.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. When you focus on what’s exciting and challenging, the menial tasks become easier to manage.
2. As a business owner and entrepreneur, stick to it and focus on the results.
3. There’s a difference between loving what you do and loving what you get from doing certain things.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Jerry Vinson, CRNA, and creator of the Live Wealthy Formula. Jerry looks back on the events that led him to start his current business and shares his thoughts on several wealth creation strategies.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Jerry got his hard work ethic and entrepreneurial mindset from his dad.
• He double-majored in chemistry and psychology. He became a nurse practitioner and then a CRNA, but that left him with a loan debt of $205,000.
• After getting burned out, Jerry educated himself on personal finance, money management, and wealth creation strategies.
• Know your financial freedom number and then work towards it to create the life you desire.
• Jason and Jerry share their thoughts on Dave Ramsey and Robert Kiyosaki.
• Jerry talks about whole life and term life policies as a wealth creation strategy.
• He presents the advantages of alternative investing like cryptocurrency and discusses IRAs as well, including using an IRA to invest in crypto.
• Jerry doesn’t invest in stocks because he hasn’t been able to beat the market.
• Jason and Jerry highlight why business is a wealth-building and retirement vehicle.
• Jerry shares an overview of his Live Wealthy Formula program. It starts with having the right mindset. Steps 1 and 2 are about money management. Step 3 is about wealth creation strategies and step 4 is focused on taking action on what you’ve learned.
• Invest first and then live the life you want. We tend to reverse these concepts.
• Together, everyone achieves more.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Mindset and money management are the basic foundations of improving any area in your life. Use what you’ve learned and take action.
2. Investing in a business gives you an asset to generate revenue. You can sell the business or pass it on to your children. You can also leverage the business to invest in other things.
3. It doesn’t matter how much money you make. What does matter is what you do with your money and how you live your life while making money.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast offers tips on how to make prospects and customers aware of your business (know) to build like and trust so they’ll do business with you.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Getting to know people is relatively easy. Making them like and trust you is a little more challenging and takes time to develop and study.
• People who do well in business or in life tend to be likable. You can foster likability if you’re easy to hang out with, you participate in conversations with others and you’re inquisitive.
• If you cause friction, you won’t go far, no matter how big your business is. Focus on building rapport and friendships.
• Competence, honesty, and benevolence are three components of trust, according to a behavioral scientist, Jason has listened to online.
• When going into a new relationship or meeting someone new, most people try to overplay how competent they are. First, show that you are benevolent and honest.
• If you make a mistake, own up to it. Other people—especially superiors at work—will be more likely to overlook the mistake if you openly acknowledge your mistake.
• The IKEA effect is defined as people who tend to trust and care more for what they build on their own or invest time and money in. This same principle can apply to relationships.
• Accept favors and support from other people to help develop trust.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Be likable. People enjoy doing business with people they like.
2. Trust is determined by competence, honesty, and benevolence.
3. Work for the best interests of the people around you, and things will fall into place.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Chase DiMarco, founder and lead educator at FreeMedEd, CEO of FindARotation, and co-author of “Read This Before Medical School.” Chase shares his experiences creating a medical resource website to help students with their education. He also discusses how and why he got into podcasting and the goal of his web app, FindARotation.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Chase double majored in psychology and medicine before going to a Caribbean medical school where he started FreeMedEd, an online resource provider.
• Initially, FreeMedEd housed YouTube videos, playlists, and quizzes for students to use to help round out their medical school education. Now, the site contains podcasts, books, and online courses.
• Jason and Chase discuss options for people who might be interested in going to a Caribbean medical school.
• Impostor syndrome can occur when you’re creating your own online course. Double-check every bit of information you’re sharing.
• You don’t have to do everything yourself. You can outsource or hire freelancers via Fiverr or Upwork.
• Chase hosts two podcasts and is currently working on a third show.
• ‘Medical Mnemonist’ was launched to help students with their board exams. The show features medical mnemonist champions and trainers to help students increase their memory and formulate efficient study skills.
• ‘Rounds to Residency’ targets medical students who need to do medical rounds. The podcast helps them navigate rotations.
• Chase’s third podcast, which hasn’t been released yet, will showcase global perspectives on science, medicine, and healthcare with skilled researchers and scientists.
• Chase’s podcasts started as a labor of love and are now his primary tool for networking.
• FindARotation is a crowdsourced clinical rotations platform currently in its beta stage. The goal of the app is to be an untapped resource for clinical instructors and students searching to book clinical sites.
• When it comes to app development, do your due diligence. Apps require a great deal of research and development - for Chase, it was two years. You need to consider design, legalities and leave room for trial and error.
• Listening and reading can only get you so far. Go out, make mistakes, and then learn from them.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. In general, medical schools are self-regulated. Utilize resources available on the internet and find the right mentor to supplement class lectures.
2. Plan out your online course first or find a template. If you want to design the webpage yourself, there are several cost-effective website builders you can use.
3. When working with an app developer, do your due diligence, get a separate graphic designer and keep your expectations low.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks about setting revenue goals and tracking them. He also discusses how business owners can best utilize revenue goals to increase net profits, as well as fix their profit and loss (P&L) statements.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• It’s important to set revenue goals that can grow with you - and your business.
• Start by reviewing your totals sales and expenses.
• Don’t focus solely on top-line revenue. You should also look at fixed and non-fixed expenses.
• Substantial increases in top-line revenue can fix P&Ls—but businesses cannot infinitely increase their top-line revenue.
• You’ll often hear business owners brag about their gross revenue numbers. What matters is net revenue. There’s no point in increasing gross sales if there’s no substantial increase in net profit.
• Eliminate expenses like underutilized or unused subscriptions.
• Set small, steady achievable goals. For example, if you want to increase your profit, consider a realistic number such as 4% each month.
• Focus on expenses and not just the top line.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Review your fixed and non-fixed expenses and make changes quarterly.
2. Set micro revenue goals for each month and readjust them as necessary.
3. Print your P&Ls on a monthly and quarterly basis, and track the numbers in a spreadsheet.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Sean Hopwood, founder and CEO of Day Translations. Sean shares how he combined his love for managing people and his passion for linguistics and turned it into a business. He also offers tips for people who are learning new languages and for aspiring entrepreneurs.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Sean was greatly influenced by his entrepreneurial grandfather, Francis Day, whom he named the company after.
• Sean speaks 8 languages and he’s fluent in French and Spanish. Now, he’s learning Chinese.
• Some people pick up languages by listening but Sean believes in learning through structured courses to be fully immersed in the language and the culture.
• In addition to his Chinese course, he listens to Chinese music and is also taking a Chinese calligraphy class.
• After working for a law firm as an interpreter, Sean started his own translation company and an import-export company. When Day Translations took off, he learned about SEO and leveraged it to attract prospects and build his business.
• Because he over-delivered and never turned down requests for rare languages, Sean grew his customer base and project scope.
• Always give customers double what they ask for, whether it’s a product, service, or your time.
• Understand the capacity of your team. Keep them motivated and develop a reward system based on their ‘love language.’
• Rare language translations are in high demand and it’s become a primary revenue stream for Day Translations.
• Translating online content is going to give you double the exposure. And more exposure means more money.
• Go to the Small Business Development Center in your city because they’ll help you get your business off the ground—for free!
• About 25% of Day Translation’s customers are in the medical industry.
• It took Sean two years to develop his app, which features video conferencing and the ability to transcribe calls. You can get an interpreter online in less than 10 seconds.
• The app is not just a live translator tool. It’s a way for interpreters to do remote work.
• As part of the gig economy, Sean is working on another app interpreters can download and work on demand, similar to how Uber and TaskRabbit operate.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Different things motivate different people. Everybody needs money but find out what else makes your employees happy and more productive.
2. Think out of the box, stay humble, and always give the client double (or more) of what they’re asking for.
3. Sean’s goal is to automate some processes to give people more opportunities to do what they do best.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks about how entrepreneurs can utilize online courses to scale their business. Based on the three courses he’s built, Jason offers tips on generating leads and boosting conversions.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Predictability allows you to calculate and measure lead generation and conversions. Conversions equal sales so you want to (mostly) automate the system.
• If you don’t have a predictable revenue stream, you don’t have a reliable business.
• Before you launch your course, develop a training webinar and present the course offer at the end. Your webinar will convert a certain percentage of viewers into customers.
• Create online ads to promote and drive traffic to your webinar.
• Blanket messaging is convenient but it will lead to email list fatigue. Segment your audiences and align your message to their needs.
• Set a deadline and create a scarcity mindset to help prospects make a decision.
• If you offer a lead magnet like a PDF, build a follow-up email sequence to share the offer with prospects.
• Build a community around your course (like a Facebook group), so students can be a part of a cohort and share camaraderie as they go through the course together.
• Make your business an asset by establishing systems.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. When you have reliable streams of income for your business, it’s an asset and something someone else might be willing to buy should you ever want to sell your business.
2. Not everyone who encounters your business is in the same phase of the buying process so segment your customer list and then create custom offers or relevant content for each segment.
3. It’s difficult to create multiple courses and market them individually so consider doing open-closed enrollments. Focus on doing a few topics and make the courses exceptionally good at delivering results in those areas.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Michelle Seiler Tucker, founder and CEO of Seiler Tucker Inc. Michelle is a 20-year veteran in the M&A industry, an international keynote speaker, and the bestselling author of the book Sell Your Business For More Than What It’s Worth. She shares what she’s learned from franchise sales and from buying, selling, fixing and growing companies. She also introduces her upcoming book, Exit Rich.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Michelle always knew she was a writer, entrepreneur and a people person.
• She went to medical school but quickly realized it wasn’t for her. She became a closer while working for Xerox, learned about franchise sales, and then left the corporate world to start her own M&A firm.
• Sales is about listening to the client and asking the right questions. Find out what they need. Clients should do 70% of the talking and the salesperson should do 30%.
• Buy an existing franchise because it’s cheaper than buying a new one. When you buy a new one, you’ll pay a franchise fee and build-out costs, along with utilities, equipment and furniture, which can run 3-5 million.
• Franchises allow you to own a business without going it alone. This isn’t necessarily a good fit for entrepreneurs who like to make their own rules.
• The biggest mistake business owners make is not thinking about having the end in mind and their exit strategy.
• There are five types of buyers: first-time, turnaround specialists, private equity groups, strategists and competitors, and sophisticated entrepreneurs.
• The number one reason why companies go out of business? Because they neglected to focus on AIM - always innovate and market.
• Processes (or systems) need to be designed with the customer experience in mind. They should be efficient, productive, well documented and create WOW experiences.
• Build your brand and build your exit so you can exit rich.
• It’s not just about selling - it’s about building a business that is scalable and sustainable.
• You don’t know what you don’t know so align yourself with a mentor.
• Order Michelle’s new book, Exit Rich to get free bonus gifts! See link in the Resource section.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Franchising is great for people who want to own their own business but don’t want to be in business by themselves. It’s not so great for entrepreneurs because they prefer to be their own boss.
2. The GPS exit model: determine your destination, know your valuation, establish a timeline and know the buyers.
3. The 6P’s to build, grow and sell a business: people, product, process, proprietary, patrons and profit.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks about the costs of launching a practice. Drawing from his own experience, he shares the primary costs to factor in and why you should consider the Lean Startup method.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Clinic location will impact rent and insurance costs. The type of practice will dictate the level of equipment needed.
• Payroll considerations should include if you need to hire part-time staff or if you have family helping you, hours of operation and volume of business.
• It’s more cost-effective to rent space instead of constructing a new clinic. Consider what comes with the space like hand wash sinks, paint, room layout, flooring, lighting, ADA accessibility and storage.
• Think about equipment and furniture expenses, as well as rent and deposit costs. Also, consider medical supplies. Jason recommends only ordering 1.5-2 weeks out to start.
• Consider all types of licenses like DEA and business licensing, as well as malpractice and liability insurance.
• Jason suggests consulting with an attorney and a CPA as part of your professional service startup costs.
• Keep in mind marketing costs for business cards, building a website, postcards or direct mail pieces, printed promotions and paid advertising like Facebook ads.
• Lastly, budget for utilities such as electric, water and cable, as well as disposal of sharp and hazardous waste.
• Jason opened his first clinic for under 15k. He suggests making little purchases over time to avoid large cost accumulation.
• Go lean and start small - grow into your practice. It’s too easy to get into a financial hole if you go all-in by purchasing a large space and hiring a big team.
• Jason is an advocate for the Lean Startup method. He opened his first practice with an 800 square foot space and a short-term lease.
• Smaller practices can be lucrative, especially if they offer self-pay services such as direct primary care or ketamine infusion.
• You don’t have to accept insurance when you open a practice. Reimbursement costs average 85% plus you can pay 3-7% on gross receipts to billing companies.
• If you choose self-pay services, you’ll need to market yourself and your practice. Be clear on scope of practice, create a baseline business plan, forecast revenue and track expenses.
• Jason is developing a new online course to teach healthcare practitioners how to open and launch a self-pay practice.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Key factors impacting the cost of starting a practice are location, type of practice and payroll.
2. Typical startup expenses can be broken down into construction, equipment, furniture, office space, medical supplies, licensing, insurance, professional services, marketing, utilities and hazardous waste disposal.
3. If you’re willing to change your mindset and invest in marketing, self-pay practices can be very profitable.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Cathy Cather, CEO and co-founder of Parallel Testing. Cathy discusses her journey as a consultant and entrepreneur. She shares what led her to launch Parallel Profile™ and the ways she continues to expand her business.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Cathy used to work in the IT industry and moved often due to her promotions. When she was sent to San Diego, she decided it was time for a change and transitioned to healthcare.
• Cathy comes from a family of entrepreneurs including her father and grandfather.
• She started her own consulting company to help companies with their messaging and sales strategies for product development and design.
• Personal experiences involving her husband, mother, and a friend who all suffered from adverse drug reactions motivated Cathy to launch Parallel Profile™.
• Cathy wants to disrupt standard treatment protocols utilizing genetic information to advance patient care.
• Parallel Testing completes the genetic testing and provides reports. Parallel Profile™ makes the reports understandable and accessible through an app. Between the two, patients can determine which medications match their DNA and will work safely.
• 128,000 people die each year from adverse drug reactions. 2.7 million have an adverse reaction and are admitted to the hospital.
• 90% of drug prescriptions don’t work for 30-50% of people.
• The average person over the age of 65 is on a dozen medications because of prescribing cascades. This occurs when a drug causes adverse symptoms which are misinterpreted as a new condition which then leads to a new medication being prescribed.
• Cathy’s team developed a platform for doctors so they can take a continued education course on pharmacogenetics.
• Practitioners don’t need to be experts on all 50,000 drugs—just the 8 or 10 they prescribe.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Pharmacogenetics could prevent 128,000 people in the US from dying due to adverse drug reactions. Through technology, Cathy and her team educate practitioners and make pharmacogenetics more accessible.
2. The effectiveness of medicines is genetics-dependent. If you develop new symptoms within 6 months of using a drug, research and learn about the uncommon side effects.
3. Networking and outsourcing have their advantages, but specs and oversight management are keys to running a tech-based startup.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks about the best entrepreneurial states for APRNs to open up a practice. He answers questions about how to actually start a practice, including the importance of remaining within your scope of practice. Be sure to listen until the end of the episode for a special free offer from Jason!

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• The Nurse Practice Act outlines everything a nurse is allowed to do, depending upon their license type.
• Visit your state’s Board of Nursing website to access scope of practice regulations.
• Over the last 30 years or so, there’s been a big move to expand scope of practice and increase autonomy for nurses in the US.
• When it comes to owning a practice, there are several levels of physician involvement.
• Only a few states require having a physician present for direct supervision.
• Following direct supervision, the next level is physician supervision where the physician directs the work and has overview responsibilities to ensure appropriate treatment is provided.
• Next is physician collaboration which means a physician isn’t required to be onsite yet he/she is available for consultation. Protocols at this level can be in a written format yet it’s not required.
• Lastly, a physician isn’t required to be onsite for the independent practice level and these protocols can be verbal. Independent prescribing is an area that falls into this level.
• If you need to find a collaborating physician, NPs can go to the Collaborating Docs website (see link in the Resource section).
• If regulations limit your scope of practice to a certain area, hire another NP or you can change your specialty by obtaining a post-master’s graduate certificate.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. You can start a practice in any state, but the best states allow nurses to practice independently of a physician and to prescribe—no collaboration required.
2. Understand the level of autonomy allowed by your state’s regulations and then structure your practice so staff members remain within their scope of practice.
3. Collaborating physicians are not responsible for the independent decisions of the APRNs they’re supervising or working with.

Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Merrily Orsini, entrepreneur, President and CEO of corecubed and podcast creator and host of Help Choose Home. Merrily shares the lessons she’s learned from starting, growing and selling a company, as well as digital marketing.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• After being in social work for almost a decade, Merrily started her first business, a remote home management service that evolved into eldercare solutions.
• The home care business can take a physical and emotional toll on you because it’s 24/7/365 and you are with people at the end of their lives.
• Merrily founded corecubed in 1998 to support other home care businesses. Now, corecubed specializes in digital marketing and education.
• The purpose of advertising and marketing is to meet a need and educate people about their options and choices.
• She spent about four years focusing on the profitability of her business and ultimately created a model of care that continues to be used today. The model is focused on needs vs prescriptive formulas.
• Merrily was an early pioneer of remote work environments both with Eldercare Solutions and corecubed.
• The three lessons Merrily learned about growing and selling a business include hiring people smarter than you, focusing on recurring monthly income and continuing to learn how you can do things better.
• She stresses the importance of knowing why you started your business and investing in the structure and maintenance of your online presence.
• If your business is failing, figure out why and tweak systemically.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Constantly be on the lookout for what needs to be done better. Focus on how to make your business the best and the most profitable.
2. Know when to bring in professional support (especially for marketing), be good to your people and give credit where it’s deserved.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast explains how business owners can achieve greater success by promising less. He stresses the importance of limiting customer expectations and then overdelivering to develop a fanbase.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Ask yourself: How are you promising what you provide?
• Businesses tend to exaggerate what they provide because they’re trying to sell their products or services.
• Be conservative in your claims and don’t be a jack of all trades.
• Don’t lower your bar of promises because that could hurt sales and marketing. Keep it reasonable and easily attainable.
• If you focus on maintaining a "moderate" bar, 90% of your customers will have tremendous results.
• Customers who achieve great results or whose problems are solved by a business are more likely to become fans.
• Keep your promises small and focused. Deliver results and customers will return for more.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Underpromising makes it easier to meet customer expectations.
2. Happy and satisfied customers are more likely to stick around and buy the other products or services of a business.
3. It’s better to focus on being great in very specific areas.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Jay Mays, CEO and co-founder of MPLT Healthcare. Jay offers tips on recruiting healthcare professionals and running a successful business. He also shares lessons he’s learned as a CEO.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Working for Maxim Healthcare for a decade sparked Jay’s interest in healthcare staffing and taught him how to expand a business.
• Find a niche—nuggets of opportunity or areas where there’s not a lot of competition—do well and then expand into other spheres.
• Don’t be afraid to break down processes and then rebuild them.
• The key for startups is to start small. Put your head down and do the work to grow the business.
• It’s about the right time, the right opportunity and trusting your abilities. Take those opportunities to show people what you can do.
• Jay has established his brand as a recruiter by building relationships with people, and by being honest and informative without overstepping boundaries.
• It’s rare you have a round peg and a round hole. So work to find solutions and compromise.
• Technological advancements, such as AI and blockchain, have improved the recruiting and staffing industry, making it easier to match jobs to people.
• At MPLT Healthcare, hospitals are responsible for credentialing incoming physicians, but his company helps facilitate the process.
• In his first few years as CEO, Jay continued to work as a recruiter and account manager. He credits his sports background for his determination and winning mentality.
• Jay’s advice for entrepreneurs is to take the chance and put yourself out there. Don’t wish - roll up your sleeves and do it.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. One of the key components to running a business is accountability. Own up to your mistakes and come up with a solution.
2. In the recruiting business, some problems cannot be solved through text or email so pick up the phone and get the parties involved. Talk through solutions in a consultative nature vs taking a sales approach.
3. Jay encourages people to be competitive and to have a winning mentality. Believe in yourself, and when opportunities come, put yourself out there.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks about the pros and cons of live online course programs. He explains why there’s a growing demand for live classes compared to pre-recorded and the benefits live courses offer.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Online courses can be delivered in two formats. Prerecorded courses provide evergreen content and business scalability while live courses offer greater engagement and accountability.
• Live online courses allow you to elevate your business offer while boosting completion rates and success rates.
• Some of the challenges associated with prerecorded courses include a lack of accountability, the inability to network and interact, as well as learning from other students.
• 85% of students who pay for an online course don’t complete it.
• With live courses, interactivity is 10-20x greater yet it’s harder to scale.
• You can offer more seats and charge more for the value-added benefits of live courses.
• If you want to shift from prerecorded to live, start with one or two hour-long classes with no replays.
• Jason is exploring live online courses and training to continue to grow his business and to help students achieve success.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. You need students to be happy, complete the course, get results they’re proud of and your program will sell itself.
2. Live online courses eliminate the ability for a student to consistently fall back on replays which happens when classes are available 24/7.
3. In-person online training can be harder to scale but students are more likely to be engaged, complete the course and obtain results.

He also discusses his role at Johns Hopkins promoting intellectual property, revenue creation and catalyzing change.

• Conduct an environmental scan and understand what the end-user really wants. And if regulation can help to drive a revenue stream for your business, go for it.
• Delivering a great product while maintaining great customer service can be a challenge but it’s important for the growth of a startup.
• As the President and CEO of Decision Critical Inc., Dr. Dion built a learning management system.

He also led the way for healthcare professionals to create and publish an electronic professional portfolio.
• Thanks to technology, marketing is easier to do today but pay attention to quality in order to best support growth strategies and do your due diligence on salespeople.

2. The healthcare industry needs competent (not compliant) professionals. Decision Critical filled that gap and brought the synergy model of nursing together by tracking in-depth information about clinicians.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast discusses digital analytics and the role of key performance indicators (KPIs). He defines these two terms and how they impact a company’s bottom line. He also highlights three categories for selecting the right KPIs to track business success.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Digital analytics is the collection and analysis of information about a business.
• KPIs demonstrate if you and your business are moving in the right direction. They provide a measurable value for accomplishing your key business objectives.
• There are three categories to consider when it comes to setting up KPIs. These include increasing revenue, decreasing costs and increasing satisfaction.
• Increasing revenue is impacted by the number of leads and qualified traffic on your website. You can boost revenue by upping the number of orders or increasing product price.
• Reducing costs means reducing expenses, minimizing process complexity and decreasing the time it takes to deliver your product or service.
• Increasing satisfaction is achieved through increasing stakeholder engagement, including customers, investors, employees and partners.
• According to cognitive psychologist George Miller, an average person can track and remember up to five - plus or minus two - elements. Therefore, consider starting with three KPIs to get started.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Through digital analytics, companies can track massive amounts of data on internet users, including demographic information and online activity.
2. KPIs are measurable values demonstrating whether a business is achieving its key objectives. These “endpoints” often fall under three categories: increasing revenue, decreasing costs and increasing satisfaction.
3. KPIs should be simple, relevant, timely and useful.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Miriam Paramore, President and Chief Strategy Officer of OptimizeRx, architect and leader of the US Healthcare Efficiency Index, and author of certain provisions in the Affordable Care Act. Miriam talks about her entrepreneurial journey and shares insight on networking and how to best meet customer needs.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• As a programmer and solutions designer, Miriam built and led several companies and now, she’s an investor.
• She also launched her own consulting firm because she saw a need for setting up HIPAA privacy rules. As a consultant, she wanted to help the healthcare industry digest convoluted data.
• Her mission is to leverage the power of information to improve the US healthcare system.
• Miriam took time to volunteer at nonprofits to develop relationships, which she believes is the key to business networking.
• She encourages entrepreneurs to volunteer. Provide a service, do something good with your life and contribute.
• When it comes to knowing your customers - take time to understand their value and how they get the money for their purchases - and then align your story so they want to buy your solution.
• In order to scale an idea into a company, you need two things: a team and capital.
• Ultimately, consumers and businesses don’t care how fast or techy a product is. They just want their problems solved and their needs met.
• If you don’t know the answer, find someone who does know or ask. Be willing to be wrong and adjust.
• As the President of OptimizeRx, Miriam oversees the company’s enterprise platform for health communications and care management with a focus on medication affordability and adherence.
• Miriam relates software development to her one-button microwave theory. Engineers tend to add all sorts of functions to new products but consumers don’t utilize them. Keep it simple.
• Leverage your product-market fit to support sales. Be intellectually curious and then scale and grow.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Miriam identified a need in the market for regulation on healthcare, legislated the technology formats and standards for the exchange of data, and set up privacy and security rules around those formats and standards.
2. Take the time to develop relationships with people and lead with value because people do business with people they like.
3. Have a solid idea, assemble people you know and trust, and figure out your product-market fit. Well-thought-out business plans with strong management teams are more likely to get funded.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast shares tips on optimizing website and landing page conversion. He also introduces Dr. Robert Cialdini’s 6 Principles of Persuasion and the attention, interest, desire and action (AIDA) model.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Many business owners tend to haphazardly create websites and landing pages without really thinking about the impact they have on a company’s gross revenue.
• Small copy tweaks to your sites can lead to big differences in your return on advertising expenses.
• With software like ClickFunnels, you can make A/B versions of particular landing pages to see which is more effective or produces the best return.
• Utilize Robert Cialdini’s Principles of Persuasion and the AIDA model to entice people into making purchases from your website.
• Cialdini’s 6 Principles include scarcity (limited time sale), commitment and consistency (customer commits to a free, small item), reciprocity (in exchange for an email, send something of value), social proof (validation), authority (create trust) and liking (influence).
• The AIDA model includes attention (utilize headlines), interest (provide a creative offer), desire (explain benefits to foster want/need) and action (answer questions).
• Potential customers don’t really care about the messaging business owners often include such as awards, company history or company virtual tours. They want to know what’s in it for them.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Robert Cialdini’s 6 Principles of Persuasion are scarcity, commitment and consistency, reciprocity, social proof, authority and liking.
2. Pretend to be a customer who stumbled upon your website. Then, incorporate your thoughts into your landing page marketing based on your experience.
3. According to the AIDA model, you need attention-grabbing headlines. Develop interest and desire by explaining the benefits of your product or service. Finally, actively respond to inquiries and objections.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks about pay-per-click (PPC) advertising and why you may want to consider utilizing it for your business. He provides insight on the terminology and reviews the steps to ensure a successful PPC campaign.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Intent-based searches allow businesses to target people who are in certain phases of research and/or the buying process.
• There are more than 6 billion searches across search engines per day worldwide. Google alone processes 3.8 million searches per minute.
• PPC is more affordable than traditional marketing methods such as TV, radio or billboards.

• Jason explains the terminology associated with PPC: cost per click (CPC), cost per mille (CPM), click-through rate (CTR) and cost per acquisition (CPA).
• When you utilize PPC, you can target prospects based on geography, demographics, devices used, time of day and keyword searches.
• Google Display allows businesses to use affiliated websites as virtual billboards, providing access to 90% of internet users worldwide.
• There are five steps for creating a successful PPC campaign. One, establish goals. Two, choose your target methods. Three, determine the ad spend. Four, analyze results. Five, use the results to further refine the ad strategy.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Pay-per-click advertising is sophisticated, affordable and very effective when you consider the rate that people use search engines.
2. With pay-per-click, you can target audiences based on geography, demographic, device, specific times of the day, keywords and website behavior.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Robert Armstrong, CEO and Co-Founder of Appstem, a mobile and web app design and development agency. Robert offers advice on creating a business plan, growing a tech startup and working in the app development arena.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Robert’s background in business marketing and sales taught him to keep an even temperament, remain humble and keep going in spite of a lot of rejection.
• After coming up with a business plan with his partner, he quit his job at Oracle and launched Appstem. Five or six weeks later, the startup closed its first deal.
• Robert had anxiety yet believed it was worth the risk and gamble to leave his full-time job to launch his startup.
• Appstem grew organically, hiring around contracts and eventually expanding to have an in-house, end-to-end team, including, UI/UX designers and creative directors.
• Robert manages sales and marketing, with a focus on growing Appstem. His partner is a software engineer in charge of product development.
• His advice for startups is to think about how you’re going to let people know your solution exists. He also recommends remaining fluid in your product roadmap and talking to customers to find the ideal product-market fit.
• Think of your business plan as a guiding and evolving light. Focus on solving a problem and defining a go-to-market plan.
• When it comes to sourcing a potential development partner, make sure they have the full set of capabilities you’re looking for. Work with tech stacks that are stable and have a strong community of backers.
• Offshore development can be cheaper, but you need to find a reputable firm you can trust. US-based teams have a better sense of design aesthetic and usability, and they offer full teams as well.
• Apps should have a strong foundation so developers can continuously build on them.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. When you’re launching a startup, it’s important to have a business plan and keep reworking it.
2. The cheaper and faster way to get a product into potential customers’ hands is to solve a basic problem the largest number of users are experiencing. Focus on one platform and then refine and polish from there.
3. Users prefer apps that are clean, sophisticated and easy to use. The interface design and experience have to be seamless in order to give a great first impression.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks about email marketing. He highlights three regulations business owners should be aware of and compliant with, and also shares tips for optimizing your email list hygiene.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Email is the most highly used and most effective way to reach prospects and customers online.
• There are 3.8 billion email users and 1 billion accounts.
• Email has about a 6% conversion rate and a 3.7% click-through rate.. Comparatively, social media has an engagement rate of about 0.50%.
• The ROI on email is well over 4000%, as costs are low compared to traditional marketing, such as direct mail.
• The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to anyone residing in the EU. It’s extremely strict about how a company should post its privacy policy and how subscriber data is used.
• The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is geared towards large corporations but there are good practices worth googling.
• Jason shares the five components of the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography And Marketing Act (CAN-SPAM), which applies to all promotional emails. If you’re making an offer or selling something, it’s considered promotional.
• Jason also provides three tips for optimizing your list hygiene.
• One, maintain low unsubscribe rates. You can do this by avoiding list buying, which hurts deliverability because these emails are often marked as spam.
• Two, maintain good open and click-through rates by sending relevant content to segmented audiences within your database.
• Three, if subscribers don’t open your emails in 60-90 days, consider deleting them from your database.
• The overall movement in digital marketing right now is to protect consumer privacy.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Because there are more than a billion email accounts and the cost of sending mass emails is very low, it’s the most highly used and effective online marketing strategy.
2. Business owners should check out the details of the GDPR, the CCPA and the CAN-SPAM Act to make sure they’re compliant.
3. Avoid buying email lists. Send only relevant emails to relevant segments of your subscriber database.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Brian Gill, Chairman and CEO of Gillware. Brian also started five successful tech startups including SHINE Medical Technologies and Tetra Defense. Brian discusses the steps needed to start a tech business. He also shares solutions for some of the IT problems companies might face and how they can better protect their data.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Brian began working in data services with a desire to help companies with data disasters. In early 2000, he started several companies including Gillware Data Recovery, Phoenix Nuclear Labs and SHINE Medical Technologies. Later, he started Gillware Digital Forensics, now known as Tetra Defense.
• Brian stresses the importance of technology, data protection, and recovery, and risk mitigation consultation within the healthcare industry.
• In today’s startup world, many build their own website. Once you start getting a lot of traffic, you can pay Cloudflare, a network that provides content delivery services so your website can handle a large number of sessions.
• For small technology firms, it’s better to contract with IT teams from a managed services provider (MSP) versus hiring and to get a third party to act as watchdogs for your MSP staff or internal IT department.
• Every day, hundreds of companies in the US are affected by data breaches such as ransomware. Startups should prioritize getting a cyber insurance policy on day one.
• According to Brian, sufficient IT security costs should be at least $1,000 per person per year. For individuals, he recommends the YubiKey, which is $50 on Amazon.
• When you do a data backup, make sure it’s air gapped. Disconnect your hard drives or devices from unsecured networks to prevent breaches.

1. To launch a tech solutions company, you don’t need to be tech-savvy or have a lot of hardware. You can hire talent and use cloud-type storage systems.
2. When creating a business, budget for IT or IT security even in your seed rounds.
3. A good IT security plan starts with the question, “What happens when we have a breach?” Organizations need to be able to detect and respond to these events.

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks about the importance of content marketing and social media marketing to increase engagement with your customers and awareness of your business.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Jason has enrolled in a year-long online marketing course to learn more about digital marketing.
• Content Marketing Institute founder Joe Pulizzi popularized the 4-1-1 rule which allows you to add value, nurture your relationship with your followers and demonstrate authority without being overly pushy.
• Following the 4-1-1 rule, you should share six pieces of content each week. Four should be curated by you. So search out content and then summarize, adding your own thoughts as well.
• Many tools exist to help you find content, such as BuzzSumo, which crawls online content and puts it all in one spot.
• Google Alerts is another option (and it’s free) yet not as sophisticated as BuzzSumo. Google Alerts sends content to your inbox based on keywords.
• As part of your content marketing plan, one piece of content should be an original piece, where you answer common questions within your industry. And the final piece should be promotional. So only one piece of content each week should include a feature, module or bonus offer from you.
• The goal of the 4-1-1 rule is to nurture prospects and customers and remain relevant.
• Jason invites listeners to share how they manage content and social media marketing via his two Facebook groups, one for online businesses and one for bricks & mortar businesses. Both are linked below.

3 KEY POINTS:

1. Joe Pulizzi’s 4-1-1 content marketing rule includes four pieces of curated content, one original piece and one promotional piece shared each week.
2. There are a variety of free and paid tools you can use to stay informed about the latest news and articles related to your industry.
3. Content marketing is about staying relevant to your audience and consistent with what your audience wants to read or learn about.
