Healthcare Boss Academy Podcast

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

"If you can tell the story of why their life is going to be better or different because of the unique value you bring, you're going to have the best success possible." – Paul Furiga 

"Don't ever measure impressions. They are completely 100% vanity and meaningless.” – Paul Furiga

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.

OVERVIEW:

“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, [email protected].
