1. Cool thing I witnessed this week… I have a patient who was unable to keep his regular appointments in our office for the last few months because of COVID. He is on a wellness plan and pre-paid for the full year of care. At his appointment this week, he was talking about coming more…
1. Great talk I watched this week… I was sent a video of a talk by Scott Calloway, called The Algebra of Happiness (thanks, John DiJulius!). I loved it… and I know you will too. It’s a fast 30-minute presentation loaded with some thought provoking and practical info. If, at the end of the day,…
1. Story I re-read this week… Here is a story that I believe I first read years ago in a Chicken Soup for the Soul book. It popped into my head this week, so I looked it up and re-read it. Doctor Jim Clark was fighting for his patient’s life. Little Liz had a rare…
1. Person I was thinking about this week… My mom sent a reminder this week that Monday would have been my grandparents’ anniversary. She included a couple of pics. My grandfather, Bill Padavick, is one of my ALL TIME favorite people. He was always laughing and joking around, was kind and caring, and lived a…
1. Podcast I really enjoyed… This week, I heard Les Brown on the podcast Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. (Click here to hear the full podcast.) Les Brown is a legend in the self-improvement arena, and I picked up A LOT from this podcast. His website describes him as “straight-from-the-heart, passion and high-energy, motivates audiences…

1. Topic I’m taking a deeper dive into… Two topics often overlooked when it comes to health and wellness are sleep and breathing. Recently, I was sent a link to a Joe Rogan podcast with James Nestor, author of Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art. (Thanks, Matt M.!) I loved the podcast and…
1. Event I’m really excited about… I was invited to speak at this year’s Customer Service Revolution Conference. It’s an honor to be speaking with some of the best speakers out there, like Seth Godin, Guy Kawasaki, Tom Bilyeu, John DiJulius, Ken Blanchard, Jesse Itzler, and more. This is one of the best customer service…
1. Great podcast I listened to this week… Somehow, Tim Ferris manages to keep me interested with almost 2-hour long podcasts. Podcast number #444 is with Hugh Jackman… and it’s a great one! I always wonder what big stars are like in real life and was so happy to find that Hugh Jackman is down…
1. Article I revisited… Two years ago, I saw an article that rocked me. Why it didn’t rock everyone, I do not know. The title? “Goldman Sachs asks in biotech research report: ‘Is curing patients a sustainable business model?’” We all know drug companies are not in the business of curing disease, but aim to…
