    Teach a CEO to Fish | Dan Kachtik | Fix My Fees Ep. 14

    On this episode of the Fix My Fees podcast, host Tavious Washington sits down with Dan Kachtik, a 25-year fitness industry veteran and co-owner of King William District CrossFit in San Antonio. Dan breaks down how he expanded beyond the walls of his gym through "remote programming" and "functional feeding" — coaching clients on exercise and nutrition from anywhere, using nothing more than videos and photos of their meals. The conversation digs into why sustainable change beats crash diets and 30-day challenges every time. Dan shares his philosophy of teaching people to "fish" rather than handing them a rigid meal plan, why the devil is really in the details when it comes to nutrition, and how our cravings actually shift as we swap processed food for real food. He and Tavious also get candid about cutting alcohol, the "white-knuckle" first three weeks of any real habit change, and why the discomfort of change is usually a sign you're finally doing something that works. For the busy CEOs, C-suite leaders, and entrepreneurs who feel like they don't have time for their health, Dan offers practical, low-effort wins — like a 15-minute walk after meals and 10 minutes of bodyweight movement — plus advice on how to find a trainer who actually has your best interests at heart. Whether you're a lifelong gym-goer or someone who keeps quitting two weeks into every diet, this episode is packed with grounded, realistic guidance on building a healthier life that actually sticks. 🎙️ ABOUT FIX MY FEES Merchant processing is boring, so we bring on interesting people to talk about their business instead.

    How AI Helps Doctors See More Patients | Glenn Loomis, MD | Fix My Fees Ep. 13

    What if your doctor already knew your whole story before you walked in the door? In this episode, host Tavious Washington sits down with Glenn Loomis, MD — a family physician turned entrepreneur with over 30 years in medicine — to talk about how AI is reshaping the patient visit. Glenn is the founder of Query Health, an AI "doctor" that takes a full patient history before the appointment, then hands the physician a clean, organized summary so they can spend less time typing and more time actually caring for patients. We get into: Why doctors "don't scale" — and how AI could help one physician see two or three patients in the time it used to take to see oneHow the AI adapts whether you're long-winded or a one-word-answer kind of patientPutting your full medical record in your pocket (and why that's a marketing tool in disguise)Breaking language barriers: talk to the AI in Spanish, your doctor reads it in EnglishWhat onboarding actually looks like for a practice (hint: days, not months)How travel to Africa, South America, and all seven continents inspired the whole idea Whether you run a practice, work in healthcare, or you're just curious where medicine is headed, this one's worth the listen. 🔗 CONNECT WITH GLENN LOOMIS Website: https://queryhealth.ai LinkedIn: Glenn Loomis MD Email: glenn@queryhealth.ai 🎙️ ABOUT FIX MY FEES Merchant processing is so boring, we bring on interesting people to talk about their business instead.

    What if your business isn't actually selling what you think it's selling? In this episode, Creative Producer Kelvin Ochoa joins Tavious to unpack the single skill most brands overlook: storytelling. Not the buzzword version, but storytelling as a business tool that moves people to act. Kelvin shares how he helped a home care brand hit a 99% watch rate by letting families speak from the heart, why a battery supplier is really in the business of saving lives, and the costly mistake companies make when they script and control their own testimonials.

If you've ever struggled to communicate what makes your business valuable, this conversation will change how you talk about your work.

    He Walked Away From Nike at the Top. Here's What He Built Instead. | Matt Watson | Fix My Fees Ep. 7

    Matt Watson spent over 11 years at Nike before leaving in 2012 to be with his dying father and his soon-to-be-born first child. What started as one freelance gig turned into a quarter million in revenue that first year, and 13 years later Watson Creative is one of Oregon's fastest growing companies, with work spanning pro sports teams, wineries, government, high-impact nonprofits, and a project he can't talk about yet that's been on the front page of CNN. In this episode, Matt breaks down why clients don't actually hire him for logos, the surprising overlap between 49ers fans and luxury wine buyers, and why AI is a solid junior copywriter but nowhere close to replacing a senior one. He also shares the advice he gives every new entrepreneur: if you're in it for the money, you'll fold the first time the market dips. If you're building something of your own, weighing the leap, or trying to figure out what actually separates a great agency from a forgettable one, this one's worth the listen.
