  • Rabbit Hole - Retail Arbitrage

    Have you ever come across an Amazon, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, or any other large retailer ad for Return Pallets? Ever wonder what's on those pallets and why anyone would ever buy a whole pallet of stuff? Interestingly enough, many people purchase those pallets just to turn around and sell the items again for a profit. It can be a risky business and there are a few things to be aware of. 


    Join me as I jump down the rabbit hole and discover the fascinating world of retail arbitrage.

  • Flashback Monday - Loving the Locum’s Life with Michael Marsh

    Here’s a Flashback Monday to The #1 downloaded episode of 2022! 


    Working as a CRNA you may find yourself in situations where you see a need.  A need to alter a product, a system, a process, or a connecting people with opportunities. 

    Deciding to take action and do something about it takes courage and dedication. You have to push through the trials and tribulations, not give up, and celebrate the successes along the way till you reach your ultimate goal! 


    Michael Marsh saw a need to help CRNAs connect with locum jobs. Knowing the details of a CRNA’s job and being able to answer job-specific questions gave Michael the right edge to connect facilities in need with providers ready to work. In the last three years, he's built and expanded CRNA Locum Jobs to multiple parts of the United States.



    Tune in to Michael and me as he tells his purpose-filled story about how he got started, built a business, and what his plans are for his future.

  • Provider Spotlight - Helping Healthcare Providers Design Their Lives with Alex Tam

    Learning to see the bigger picture in life can be challenging, but it's worth it. When we decide to take on personal growth and make changes in our lives we can oftentimes exceed our own vision of what we are capable of. It is important to be able to understand that no one can go through life without making some mistakes or having a setback and that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.



     Dr. Alex Tam has owned his own chiropractic business for 13 years where he has been working to transform lives through the latest technology in natural healthcare. Along with his wife Helen, he founded Zephyr Equity Group, which seeks to make real estate investing easy, profitable, and safe for fellow healthcare professionals. Not only that, but Alex is also the co-founder of the Streamline Team, a company that provides business owners with adaptable virtual assistants that help their businesses grow and adapt. He and his wife have a portfolio of over 500 units in thriving markets around the U.S. Alex also enjoys time with his family in Zephyr Cove, NV where they explore the outdoors while hiking, paddle boarding, and bicycling.

  • Thoughtful Thursday - What You Resist Persists

    What you resist persists, in other words, the more we resist anything in life, the more we bring it to us. AKA The law of attraction. 


    It’s hard to imagine that what we think about we attract. By focusing on the negative the more negative we tend to bring into our lives, but it works the opposite as well. Focus on the positive, the more positive is in our lives. Your emotions are your internal compass, pointing you in whichever direction they dominate.

    Have you ever stopped to think about how much energy and passion you put into thinking about what you don’t want? Why do people who express gratitude on a regular basis seem happier as a whole?


    Join me on this Thoughtful Thursday as I ponder these ideas further

  • Provider Spotlight - Developing the Paulsen Airway with Heath Paulsen

    A CRNA’s work is hard, and as a CRNA only you can see where equipment needs to be upgraded or reinvented to improve the quality of care. With so many different products out there to assist you in your job, you may be asking why you are still using 5 separate pieces when really if combined they would be more effective. If only someone could come along and create a better product. 


    Heath Paulsen had that exact same thought about airways. He couldn’t figure out why, when there is already an airway device in use, you would have to introduce another suction device into an airway with the potential to cause more harm than good. He decided to take action and created a device that was safer for the patient and easier for the CRNA to use. 


    Join Heath and me as he delves into his experience of invention, mission work, and pursuing his goal.



    Health Paulsen has been a CRNA for 13 years, and a Chief CRNA in Iowa and in the Army Reserve. He has deployed with FST to Afghanistan and Germany and has been on multiple mission trips. Heath developed the Paulsen Airway, the only self-suctioning airway on the market. He’s using funds from the Paulsen Airway to allow mission surgery teams to have the same capabilities as military surgical teams.

  • Rabbit Hole - Dropshipping

    Dropshipping is a form of retail business wherein the seller accepts customer orders without keeping stock on hand. Dropshipping has many pros and cons, but with dedication and time investment, it could be a very lucrative plan B. There’s no need for a brick-and-mortar store, hiring employees, or stocking products. Instead, you open an online storefront and buy wholesale from suppliers who already have the products and the warehouse space.
