A Physicians Perspective on Patients and Healing w/Dr. Chris Segler. Ep. 58

Dr. Chris Segler is a podiatrist in San Francisco and known as the Doc On The Run [https://www.docontherun.com/]. He has completed several marathons and is a 15-time Ironman Triathlon finisher with a personal best of 10:59:07.  In this episode he speaks of his experience as a physician working in a traditional practice that accepts health insurance, and why he switched to a private practice that does not accept insurance, and why this is better for both the patient and the doctor. He also explains why when out of network you are only paying for the surgical fee and not the operating room or anesthesiology. * For runners, the issue is "how do I keep running when I am injured?" * * Stop running is not an acceptable answer. * The physicians perspective on patients and healing. * * How trained. * Managed care. * The Government is already deciding the type of care you will get. * Physicians are trained to fix problems, not make you healthy. * * Get paid for procedures. * How insurance companies influence physician decisions. * Insurance will influence the procedures that are recommended. * * Only the options that insurance will pay for will be recommended. * There may be better procedures that are not covered by insurance. * * You can pay for the better procedures if you know your choices. * Ask "is there a better procedure not covered by insurance you would recommend?" * How do we protect ourselves in non-private practices? * Get the doctor to slow down. * Be prepared with questions before you go. * Take someone with you who understands your questions. * Research "alternative treatments to__________." * The patient's challenge is to extract the best knowledge from the physician. * Know in advance how you will determine the successful cure of your issue. Is it "no pain" or is it "able to exercise as before." * What you pay for in No Insurance Accepted Practices: * * Operating Room - Accept all insurances. * Surgical Fee - you will pay this. * Anesthesia - Accept all insurances. * Music * Death and Dying * Final Takeaway Contact Dr. Segler at https://www.docontherun.com/ [https://www.docontherun.com/] Planet BoomerVille is for Baby Boomers and is about being Stellar and Living Life Lively.

Time & Money Leverage: Why You Should Coach and Not Consult.

Many baby boomers become consultants after retirement to use their skills and stay active. Our guest today says consulting is limited in income and a time suck. Instead, JV Crum III recommends becoming a coach where you can leverage time, money, and location. In this baby boomer episode, Jim Enright shares the mic with J.V. Crum III [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jvcrum], author of the Conscious Millionaire: Grow Your Business by Making a Difference [https://www.amazon.com/Conscious-Millionaire-Business-Making-Difference-ebook/dp/B00EWO1FP4]. He is also a speaker and a coach to coaches, entrepreneurs, and podcasters. He is the founder of The Conscious Millionaire Institute [http://consciousmillionaire.com/] and his non-profit, Conscious World Foundation [https://consciousworld.org/], actively engages in community projects for the purpose of youth development. Listen as J.V. breaks down the numerous differences between consulting and coaching, list his 6 steps to reaching $1M in revenue, and explains why retirement should NOT be the goal for baby boomers.

Consulting is a hands-on service that usually requires the consultant's physical presence. Coaching, on the other hand, offers more freedom and flexibility because it's outcome-oriented and coaches are not typically paid by the hour. 2. Your first step? Be clear about what you want to achieve in your business. 3. Don't make retirement your goal in life — think about a new purpose that you can engage in.
