Mick Janness is the CEO of Oakpoint - a mid-Atlantic, PE-backed DSO. He joins me on the show to dive VERY deep into "the Operator Mentality" that is so effective for him from both a business development standpoint as well as from an executive standpoint. This episode is highly actionable, so get ready to take notes! And if you want two days' worth of insights, guidance, and wisdom like you hear on this episode, ...

2025 has been one Hell of a year already - and I'm not even half way through it! At the behest of several members in the program, I decided to launch a "version 3.0" to focus on building and leading a business that is congruent with your family and your very self as a person. I'm calling it "Entrepreneurial Leadership" and it will be a complement to both the Foundations program and the Working Group sessions. Curio...

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, so I decided to record an episode about a period in my life when I hit a wall. Burnout is real; it's often self-inflicted; and it's usually avoidable. Can you solve it on your own? I couldn't, but I'll give you some insights and a few questions that may help you avoid making the same mistakes I did. Got questions? I've got answers!

There's a substantial difference in being a successful executive versus being a successful entrepreneur - though both come down to fundamental aspects of leadership. One is oriented around leading others whereas the other is focused on leading ourselves. Simple, right? Maybe not. Tune in to find out! Got questions? I've got answers!

All of us admire tech companies for the products and services they create that make our lives better, and we marvel at their celebrity CEOs who create a company from nothing. While tech company leaders should be highly regarded for what they've achieved, I don't think there's much to learn or apply from their companies to our own. Healthcare service practices are people-oriented, service-driven businesses that ar...

This episode is based on current events of the past two weeks. As business leaders and business owners, you need to embrace the challenges ahead and communicate clearly with your team. I'll share my own personal example of leading a team in the NY/NJ market during what became the Global Financial Crisis. None of us know how this is going to play out, but it's up to each of us to create some level of certainty fo...

So many of you in this audience enter the world of business entrepreneurship through the world of medicine first. While this is completely understandable, I think too many lose sight of the fact that being an entrepreneur is actually a choice we make. Choosing to be an entrepreneur carries with it a tremendous weight in competitive markets, and healthcare services is definitely one. That being said, there are pl...

I recently appeared on the "Insurance Untangled" podcast with Founder and host, Ben Tuinei.

We're all hopefully evolving both as entrepreneurs and as leaders, so it's important to understand what makes us effective at both. While we all have a variety of assets that make us who we are, there's one that's most important for us in each department. Equally, there's a currency (or a commodity) that can be useful to becoming more effective at what we do. I'll slice and dice both in this episode to give you ...

I've spoken on several different occasions and on numerous podcasts about my underlying fear that we all run the risk of becoming commoditized if we don't take a more proactive approach to enhancing the patient experience in our practices. The bar is low because your competition is doing absolutely nothing in this area, so even small things can create a big impact. In this episode, I tell the story of my favorite...

Steve Jobs has a wonderful commencement address to the 2005 graduating class of Stanford University where he talks about "connecting the dots [of your life] looking back." His central point is that the interconnectedness of life only makes sense in the rearview mirror, but it should equally give us confidence as we navigate the uncertainty that lies ahead. This episode is a reading of the Freshly Brewed blog I re...

I'm constantly amazed when I ask someone about their growth strategy that they so frequently reply with the refrain, "...and I want to sell my business for $10 Million." The number "$10 million" seems to come up with a HIGH degree of regularity. I wonder why that is? I also wonder how well the person has actually defined it. Ever wonder what it would actually take to put "$10 Million in the bank"? Well...let m...

Quite a few of you have asked about different aspects of "my story," so I figured I would take an episode to tell it from a "what can you take away from the experience" perspective.
