    Drew Powers on The Living Benefits Of Permanent Life Insurance

    There are products out there that lots of people both own and hate. Life insurance is one of those products. Whole life insurance, and its variants, have probably the worst reputation among all life insurance choices. My guest today is a financial advisor who seems to have found some good uses for life insurance while you’re still alive. Sound counterintuitive? Then listen to this episode. Drew Powers is the Founder of Powers Financial Group, LLC, a Registered Investment Advisor. He specializes in advanced insurance and investment strategies for doctors. Drew is 100% independent, he doesn’t work with any investment or insurance company, which means he’s able to give unbiased advice that is most beneficial for his clients. Drew started his career in 2001 as a Market Maker on the Chicago Board Options Exchange, where he managed trading portfolios comprising hundreds of equity- and equity-index option listings. In 2008, he transitioned to the role of Financial Advisor and Investment Advisor Representative, where he helped clients develop individual financial strategies. At Powers Financial Group, Drew leverages his stock and options trading expertise with his financial advising experience to help clients increase and protect their wealth. Drew lives in Naperville with his wife and their two children. He is an avid downhill skier, active in youth sports, a proud "Rooster" within the Naperville Jaycees, and is passionate about CrossFit and the Paleo/Primal Lifestyle.

    Katie Nunn on Knowing Your Financials As Well As Patient Labs

    The financials of your practice are kind of like a patient’s labs – they tell you a lot about that practice’s health.

Additionally, she consults with practice owners to help them do the same. She’ll help us get started on how you can, too.

    Shannon Decker on Value Based Care

    Value based care has a longer history than many realize. First conceived in 1967 and focused on sick children, the term “value based care” was coined only in 2005. Now, twenty years later, value based care arrangements cover almost half of health plan payments. My guest today helps practices adopt and use value based care programs, and she’ll help us break down how you can as well. Dr. Shannon Decker is the Founder and CEO of VBC One, a consulting firm that partners with physician groups, health plans and vendors to optimize value-based care performance. With over 25 years of experience, including 17 in risk adjustment, quality and Medicare, she brings deep expertise in healthcare strategy, analytics, and operations. A published author and national speaker, Dr. Decker currently serves as a RISE fellow and on the faculty at Capella University.

    Jake Goates on Overcoming Objections

    Life would be a lot easier if patients always agreed with you, never questioned you, and just did what you say when you say it. They don’t always do that. Sometimes they object to recommendations. Sometimes they ask questions that sound like objections. Regardless, these are a fact of life, and the better you can overcome patient objections, the more successful your practice will be. My guest today helps his dental clients do just that, and he’ll tell us what he thinks. Since 2003, Jake Goates has given group seminars and training on sales and marketing. He is a Key Opinion Leader for various dental marketing companies. Since 2013, Jake has personally consulted more than 5,600 dentists nationwide on their marketing strategies and sales skills to reduce unnecessary spend while increasing collections. Jake founded GOAT Dental Marketing Consultants in early 2023, providing marketing strategy and sales coaching for dental offices across the country. Jake, with his wife and two daughters, enjoy living and playing in the mountains of Northern Utah.

    E.J. Cyran on Get An Offer To Sell? Buy Instead!

    Have you gotten an unsolicited offer to buy your practice recently? You might not have realized it, but that’s a signal that your local market might be attractive for you to be a buyer. What do you do at that point? My guest today helps his clients buy practices, and he’ll tell us what he thinks. E.J.
