  • Episode 115: Content, Connections and Calls: The Three Cs of Growing Your Practice with Jourdan Eloriaga

    In this power-packed episode recorded live at Aesthetic Next, we sit down with Jourdan Eloriaga, CEO of Aesthetic Bosses, CMO of Natura and newly appointed VP of Prime IV. Jourdan isn't just talking theory—his clients are generating impressive numbers like $350K monthly using a strategic combination of Aesthetic Record, LeadAR, and a marketing philosophy that's equal parts aggressive and methodical.

    As both a marketing agency owner and medical spa executive, Jourdan bridges the gap between what sounds good on paper and what actually drives revenue. His approach is refreshingly direct: content, connections, and calls. No fluff, no excuses, just a proven system that doubles patient counts when implemented correctly.

    Throughout our conversation, Jourdan shares insights on the operational discipline required to turn leads into loyal patients. From making 8,000 outbound calls monthly to collecting 1,800 Google reviews, his team operates like a well-oiled machine. But here's what makes Jourdan's approach different—he doesn't rely on automation or AI as a crutch. Instead, he uses technology strategically while never losing sight of the human connection that drives emotional purchases in aesthetics.

    Key Insights & Strategies:

    • The "Buy, Die, or Unsubscribe" Philosophy: Jourdan's team operates on the principle that 80% of sales happen between the fifth and twelfth touchpoint. If you're only calling leads once or twice before giving up, you're essentially burning money on paid ads. The goal is to persistently follow up until prospects either convert, clearly decline, or unsubscribe from communications.

    • The Power of Intentional Calling: Natura makes approximately 8,000 outbound calls per month with a two-person system—one front desk person handling walk-ins and calls, one back-office person focused exclusively on pipeline management.

    • Content Trumps Targeting: While many practices obsess over audience targeting, Jourdan focuses on creating compelling content first. His reasoning? Meta's AI targeting is sophisticated enough to find the right people—but if your content is weak, you're just showing bad ads to more people.

    • The Google Review Advantage: By aggressively collecting reviews through QR codes in every treatment room, one of Jourdan's practices accumulated 1,800 Google reviews. When competing practices have 300 reviews, there's literally no competition, dramatically lowering cost per acquisition as prospects self-qualify based on social proof.

    • Strategic Service Selection for Ads: Not all services are created equal for paid advertising. Jourdan recommends promoting services that require minimal education, like toxin, fillers, or IV therapy, to keep cost per lead low and sales cycles short.

    • Weekly Staff Training is Non-Negotiable: Jourdan meets with his team weekly to review call recordings, discuss objections, and refine their approach.

    • Referrals Are Pure Profit: Every referral represents an increase in profit since there's no cost of acquisition. Building systems to generate and track referrals should be a priority for every practice.

    The Three Cs Framework for Growth:

    1. Content: Create authority-building material that educates and overcomes objections

    2. Connections: Build genuine relationships. AI is a tool, not a replacement for human touch

    3. Calls: Aggressive, consistent follow-up with proper training and scripts

    Whether you're generating $50K or $500K monthly, Jourdan's strategies offer a roadmap for scaling with discipline. His success isn't about secret hacks or viral moments—it's about consistent execution of fundamentals: make more calls, create better content, collect more reviews, and know your numbers cold.

  • Episode 114: The Science of Beauty with Kay Durairaj, MD

    Recorded live at Aesthetic Next 7.0, this episode features Kay Durairaj, MD, founder of Beauty by Dr. Kay, KD Skincare, Modern Aesthetic Theory, and one of the industry’s most influential voices. With more than 20 years in facial plastic surgery and aesthetics, Dr. Kay has earned her reputation as a pioneer by blending scientific rigor, patient-first care, and an unrelenting drive to innovate and deliver excellence.

    Her career reflects the transformation of the aesthetic industry itself—from surgical precision to molecular-level regenerative treatments. A believer in constant reinvention, Dr. Kay has diversified her practice to include injectables, hair restoration, biostimulators, longevity medicine, and surgical services. This balanced model allows her to sustain growth year-round, regardless of shifting patient demand.

    One of her most significant differentiators is her curiosity- case in point, her early adoption of artificial intelligence in clinical practice. Rather than using AI as a marketing tool, she integrates it to deliver measurable value. Perfect Corp skin analysis, Quantificare 3D imaging, and AI-driven hair metrics allow her to provide patients with objective, science-based insights. On the research side, platforms like GPT-5 help her conduct large-scale literature reviews that guide treatment decisions. The result is a care model that blends innovation, precision, and trust.

    Dr. Kay is also at the forefront of the biostimulator movement. While hyaluronic acid fillers remain a staple, she champions regenerative products like Sculptra and Radiesse for their ability to stimulate the body’s own collagen production. Her approach is rooted in science over marketing: “I want the science to talk to me. There’s no controversy when you see real histology.”

    She also highlights women’s health as a bridge to longevity medicine. With the majority of her patients being women—and most over 50 not receiving hormone replacement therapy—she sees a major opportunity for practices to integrate hormonal care. Optimizing estrogen, she notes, significantly improves outcomes from both surgery and regenerative treatments, making it a natural complement to aesthetics.

    Her work with high-profile patients has underscored the importance of authenticity. While the pressure to deliver flawless, undetectable results is high, her success stems from honesty—knowing when to decline requests that do not align with natural, science-backed outcomes.

    Looking ahead, Dr. Kay is collaborating with companies developing gene activation therapies that may restore youthful collagen and hyaluronic acid production, as well as exploring topical rapamycin to target cellular longevity. These emerging treatments could redefine the boundaries of aesthetic and regenerative medicine.

    Key Lessons for Practitioners:

    • Diversify strategically: Build multiple service lines that complement one another.
    • Embrace AI thoughtfully: Choose tools that enhance patient care and differentiate your practice.
    • Lead with science: Evidence-based decision-making builds trust and credibility.
    • Explore hormone health: Integrating wellness with aesthetics strengthens patient outcomes.
    • Stay authentic: Prioritize natural enhancement over trends.
    • Commit to learning: Continuous education is the foundation of long-term success.

  • Dr. Kay's career illustrates that excellence in modern aesthetics requires more than technical mastery. It demands vision, adaptability, and the courage to embrace innovation before it becomes mainstream. As she continues lecturing worldwide and developing groundbreaking treatments, her mission remains the same: helping patients achieve their natural best through science-driven, ethical care.

  • Episode 113: A Woman on a MIssion with Julie Bass Kaplan, FNP-C

    In this deeply personal episode of For The Record, we sit down with Julie Bass Kaplan, FNP-BC, NP-C, CANS, CPSN, HCMT, PHN, one of the industry's most trusted voices on safety and education. With over 25 years in aesthetic medicine, Julie's journey is a masterclass in the power of advocacy and giving back.

    Julie's story begins in 1999, and what began as a personal quest evolved into an empire of education that has touched thousands of practitioners worldwide. But her defining moment came in 2010 when a filler complication left her with what she calls her "pizza face" for six months. Rather than hideout, this became her calling to ensure no other practitioner would face similar situations unprepared.

    From Adversity to Advocacy

    The 2010 adverse event became Julie's "come to Moses moment." With her face severely compromised, she returned to practice and began educating patients about potential risks. Their response – "That's okay, I trust you" – reinforced her commitment to safety education. This pivotal experience shaped her mission: preparing every practitioner for moments when things don't go quite right.

    Julie's Jubilant Head & Breakfast workshops in Ashland, Oregon have become legendary for their intimate, comprehensive approach. Participants often arrive as strangers and leave as lifelong colleagues and collaborators.

    Breaking Barriers and Building Community

    This year, Julie achieved a historic milestone as the first nurse practitioner in US history to lead a mobile cadaver lab for an industry manufacturer (Allergan) – after personally leading 69 anatomy workshops. This recognition represents more than personal achievement; it acknowledges that anatomical expertise transcends medical degrees and highlights the critical role advanced practice providers play in aesthetic medicine.

    Her approach to advocacy is relationship-based rather than confrontational. Julie emphasizes taking the field seriously as medicine, not "industry," building partnerships with pharmaceutical companies, and forging alliances with physician colleagues who value collaborative care.

    What's Next

    Looking ahead, Julie is passionate about the convergence of aesthetics and wellness, particularly in women's health. Regenerative medicine, hormone optimization, and peptide therapy represent her vision for the future – helping patients feel well from the inside out rather than simply addressing surface concerns.

    Key Takeaways

    For New Practitioners:

    • Learn one technique at a time and master it before moving to the next

    • Invest seriously in education through multiple channels – formal workshops, online communities, mentorship, cadaver labs

    • Focus on patient connection and building a relationship rather than rushed appointments

    • Don't jump into independent practice too early; master basics under expert supervision first

    For Practice Owners:

    • Hire people who share your values and ethics – consider hiring former patients

    • Provide educational budgets and growth opportunities for team members – the better they are, the better you are

    • Build relationships with industry partners who listen and value your expertise

    For Injectors:

    • Take aesthetic medicine seriously as healthcare, not just "industry"

    • Prepare for adverse events before they happen – have a plan and community support

    • Continuous learning is non-negotiable throughout your career

    • Build a network of colleagues across specialties for collaboration and support

    Throughout it all, Julie remains focused on her core mission: ensuring every practitioner has the knowledge, skills, and support network needed to provide safe, beautiful, and meaningful results.

  • Episode 112: The Power of Second Chances with Shawn Thursby-Palmer, FNP, MSN

    In one of our most powerful episodes yet, host Dr. Tiphany Hall sits down with Shawn Thursby-Palmer, FNP, MSN founder of the two-location med spa Beyond The Needle, for a raw conversation about second chances, redemption, and what it truly means to serve others in the aesthetics industry.

    Shawn's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Born and raised in Banning, California, to a police chief father and mayor pro tem mother, his early life seemed destined for success. But coming out in the early 90s led him down a devastating path that included drugs, addiction and homelessness in the streets of West Hollywood. What happened next defies every statistic about recovery and addiction, and its proof that Shawn was always made for more.

    Against all odds, Shawn pulled himself out of the darkness, rebuilt his life from scratch, and fought his way to graduating at the top of his nursing school and nurse practitioner programs.

    Today, he operates two thriving med spas in California while traveling 4-8 times per month as one of the country's most sought-after injection trainers.

    But Shawn's story isn't just about personal triumph—it's about how lived experience shapes the way we serve others. His approach to patient care, team building, and industry education stems directly from his understanding of what it means to need a second chance, empathy, and care – not just a great aesthetic result.

    What You'll Learn in This Episode:

    The Phoenix Rises: How Shawn transformed from dealer to top-of-class nurse practitioner through sheer willpower and determination

    Building Beyond the Needle: The philosophy behind his med spa name and why every patient gets treated like family, complete with hugs and genuine care

    Affordable Education Mission: Why Shawn offers free shadowing and responds to 100+ daily messages from providers seeking guidance, breaking the industry norm of expensive mentorship

    Smart Business Scaling: His methodical approach to adding locations and services, including why he waited two years to offer weight loss after extensively researching the field

    Team Culture Secrets: The three non-negotiables in his practice (no gossiping, no politics, no negative energy) and how he creates specialists within his team

    Patient Safety Philosophy: Why he assess every patient’s mental state before beginning treatment with a few self-love questions, why he’s okay to wait when adding new services, and how patient safety guides every decision

    Key Takeaways:

    Shawn's candid discussion reveals the stark contrast between providers who enter aesthetics for quick money versus patient care and the risk of overpaying for subpar training when you're new.

    Perhaps most importantly, Shawn demonstrates that success in aesthetics isn't just about clinical skills—it's about emotional intelligence, genuine care, and creating an environment where both patients and team members feel valued and supported.

    The Bigger Picture:

    This episode tackles some of the industry's most pressing issues: the influx of new providers seeking quick entry into aesthetics, the prohibitive cost of quality education, and the need for experienced practitioners to mentor the next generation. Shawn's approach of giving back through affordable training and open-door mentorship offers a blueprint for how established providers can help elevate the entire industry.

    His story also highlights the therapeutic nature of aesthetic treatments—patients often come seeking more than just physical enhancement, and providers must be prepared to offer emotional support alongside clinical expertise.

  • Episode 111: Scaling Without Shortcuts: The Discipline of Good Business with Scott Melamed, MS, MBA

    From firefighter to Fortune 500 consultant to aesthetics CEO, Scott Melamed’s career path is anything but traditional. Today, he leads ProMD Health, a 20-location powerhouse built not on investor capital, but on disciplined strategy, relentless training, and an unwavering belief that business health is inseparable from patient outcomes.

    In this episode, Scott sits down with Dr. Tiphany Hall for a candid look at what it really takes to grow — and sustain — a multi-location aesthetics empire. He shares why he believes aesthetics isn’t about syringes or devices, but about something far more subjective: how patients feel about themselves, filtered through the lens of their friends and community. From hiring and training to AI adoption and community giving, Scott breaks down the playbook that has made ProMD one of the most respected names in the industry.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode

    - The psychology of aesthetics: Why every staff member — not just injectors — shapes the patient’s perceived outcome.

    - Scaling without shortcuts: How Scott built ProMD into 20 locations without outside funding, relying on profit discipline and smart deployment of capital.

    - Training for excellence: The rigorous onboarding process where every new injector faces the ultimate test — injecting Scott or his co-founder, George, with the entire team watching.

    - AI with purpose: How ProMD uses AI to detect staff issues, evaluate new products, and streamline scheduling — all while freeing humans to focus on connection.

    - Leadership at scale: The C-Suite structure that keeps operations, outcomes, and growth aligned across a growing enterprise.

    - Community as strategy: Why giving back locally and nationally isn’t just philanthropy, but a business advantage that builds long-term loyalty.

    Memorable Moments

    “We sell a subjective opinion of the patient’s subjective opinion based on the subjective opinion of their friends.”

    Every single person in the practice is part of the treatment modality — from front desk to checkout.

    “Good business allows us to deploy capital to training, community, and patient experience instead of making hard choices about cutting corners.”

    “You don’t rise to the level of the crisis. You fall to the level of your training.”

    Who Should Listen

    Whether you’re a solo injector thinking about your next step, a practice manager trying to create consistency, or a multi-location owner balancing culture with scale, this episode delivers a roadmap for sustainable growth. Scott’s insights will challenge you to rethink how you view outcomes, patient experience, and leadership — and how they all intersect to drive business success.

  • Episode 108: Building a Business Worth Buying (or Keeping) with Jessica Hunter, MBA

    In this powerhouse episode of For The Record, we welcome back expert consultant, Jessica Hunter, CEO of Hunter Consulting Services and Head of Aesthetic Consulting at Aesthetic Brokers. With over a decade of experience helping practices transform from burnout to buyout-ready, Jessica offers a no-nonsense roadmap for owners who want to build a business that works—with or without them.

    As private equity interest surges and the industry shifts with trends like GLP-1s and functional medicine, Jessica is helping practice owners get their houses in order. Whether you're looking to sell in five years or simply want to stop drowning in day-to-day chaos, her message is clear: build a strong foundation so you have options—no matter what the future holds.

    What You'll Learn in This Episode

    * The Real State of Aesthetic Practices

    Most owners are overworked and underpaid, stuck in outdated models that no longer work. Jessica shares why the strategies from a decade ago aren’t cutting it—and what to do instead.

    * Diversify Like a Pro

    It’s not about offering everything; it’s about packaging services across different platforms, price points, and demographics to create sustainable, recurring revenue that can weather any storm.

    * End Key Person Dependency

    Jessica explains why no owner should generate more than 50% of the practice’s revenue. She breaks down how to cross-train your team, reduce risk, and build loyalty through care teams instead of cults of personality.

    * Operational Efficiency = Freedom

    Tired of manual processes and reactive management? Jessica makes the case for technology as the secret weapon—automating workflows, communications, and systems so you can finally step back.

    * Compensation Plans That Actually Work

    “Fair, not equal” is the mantra. Jessica shares her proven strategies for performance-based pay that keeps margins healthy (stay under 25% of revenue) while still rewarding your top talent.

    * Why Discounting is a Trap

    Flash sales and promo events may boost revenue short-term but often lead to long-term margin erosion. Learn why cost-based pricing and strategic value-building are smarter, more sustainable plays.

    *The Emotional Side of Ownership

    Jessica doesn’t sugarcoat the mental toll of owning a practice. From burnout to decision fatigue, she encourages owners to get the help they need—because delegation isn’t optional, it’s survival.

    And the best part? Once the operational chaos is cleaned up and profitability returns, most of her clients don’t want to sell anymore. They fall in love with their business again—and that’s the real goal.

    What’s Next for Jessica?

    What happens when "missteps" become milestones? In this electrifying episode, host Dr. Tiphany Hall sits down with Roni Bolton, APRN, DCNP—dermatology-certified nurse practitioner, laser trailblazer, and triple-threat CEO—to unpack how she turned clinical missteps into a career-defining empire.

    From launching her first practice to bring a device to market, and lending her expertise to a national laser brand, Roni’s journey is anything but ordinary. She didn’t set out to become “the laser queen"—but when patients with complex cases and darker skin tones came her way, she owned the challenge and created a space no one else dared to occupy.
