On this episode, Brian and I discuss: - The Direct Primary Care Model - The Problem of 3rd party payers - Falsely Elevated Prices in Healthcare - Cost transparency - Putting the decision back in the patient’s hands https://neighborsmed.com https://www.facebook.com/NeighborsMed/

On today’s show we have Christopher Briggman - Certified Rehab Counselor and Master Level Rehab Counselor, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate, Therapeutic Coach, and owner and founder of Balance Consulting and Counseling. From working for the VA, to resigning and creating his own agency, to going back to the familiarity of the VA, to creating his own COVD baby - doing his own thing full time AND getting his PHD, Chris has been able to transform his career instead of just taking it to the next step.

On today’s episode we have Meredith Nelson, owner of Primetime fitness. Meredith actually started as a music major, found fitness in college, worked as a case manager and taught fitness classes before / after work. As a case manager working with people with disabilities, she found that there was a missing piece between fitness and those with disabilities - she believes people with disabilities should still be fit and have access to fitness - so she quit her job and decided to open her own training studio. Meredith and I talk about her story, her journey before, during, and after the pandemic, the 5 disciplines of triathlon, how to deal with clients who aren’t listening to you, realistic goal setting, and what’s next on the horizon for Meredith. Meredith also tells us about her traumatic experience with her first triathlon - said she was never doing one again, but she just completed a half ironman May 23. Big congrats to Meredith! - Short Term vs Long Term Goals - Setting Realistic Expectations - Fix

On today’s show I sat down with Hannah Ruth, owner of Burn By Han. Hannah runs an online coaching business to help women achieve food freedom, meet their goals, and build confidence In and out of the gym. Hannah just fully transitioned from in person to all online, and now she’s able to not only give her clients more of her time, but give more time to herself. We talk a lot about how we often get into this business - fitness, healthcare, wellness, etc - to help others improve their relationships, mental health, and sleep, but so often we (trainers, clinicians, etc) lose sight of our own non-negotiables while devoting our time to others. - Setting boundaries and non-negotiables - Remembering your WHY - Creating a community online - Coaches need coaches - Impact of online coaching vs in person- personal training @burn.by.han https://burnbyhan.com/

On today’s episode we travel to the Citadel to chat with Coach D - Donnell Boucher - the Assistant Athletic Director, Director of Strength and Conditioning, and Military Liaison at the Citadel. Coach D wears a lot of hats and currently has his hand in tactical strength and conditioning and research. We talk about his story, the moment he knew this was going to be his thing, what being a strength coach really means, what he hopes to change in the S&C field, and how his training has changed. While some may be hoping for a lighter load, Coach D believes that we should be building ourselves to be stronger to carry that load. How does Coach D create an environment of discipline and motivation? His answer may surprise you. Coach D views everyday as an opportunity to improve someone else life and says the easiest part of his job is figuring out how to improve someone’s back squat and 40 yard dash. Turns out, getting athletes stronger and faster is just where Coach D’s work begins. @citadelcoachd
