BeTheTalk with Nathan Eckel

This phrase is borrowed from Michael Gerber's classic, "The e-Myth". Originally written for business owners (entrepreneurs), the idea applies to physicians also. Physicians are the leaders of healthcare. But the traditions of medicine teach you to work IN their practice instead of also ON your practice. This means that while you are busy busy busy healing patients, other parties have usurped and intercepted your spot and put regulations and other handcuffs on you. This episode introduces...

We talk a LOT about margin in this podcast - and it recently occured to me that margin is simply a means to an end. Margin gives you the time to follow my friend Dr. Bill Yount's mantra which is to Pause-Plan-Pivot. What's even better than margin longterm? LEVERAGE. And in addition to Time Leverage, you can also Leverage your social connections so that you scale yourself in new ways - and become even more effective.

In healthcare, Physicians - not executives, nurses, or politicians - are the ones who hold the highest levels of licensing to do the most extensive levels of care. They are the ones who lead the procedural teams and make things happen. A lot of the culture and morale depends on the physician. I am stepping away from other voices to urge physicians to work WITH administrators instead of perpetuating the "us vs them" default. We need you - physician - at the table of leadership so that you...

Is there a point where ambitious promises - like healthcare for all (including non and not-yet-citizens) are actually so irrationally ambitious that the act of making the promise becomes cruel? Not for healthcare workers whose backs bear the weight of the promises, but the voters who naively support politicians who make unsustainable pledges for votes? Is it even appropriate or legal of me to ask this politically incorrect question? Yes, I'm alluding to the Most. Cringeworthy. Episode of...

We all hate Single Use Plastics - but Single Use Conversations are even more unsustainable for you and your practice. Conversations On Demand are pre-recorded, prescribable audio links for patients 24/7. In this episode Nathan reveals benefits like the: - "ShotClock" (for times when you need to move forward quickly, - "Teddy Bear" (for that soothing (recorded) bedside manner voice when the patient needs it) - "Bouncer" (for avoiding lose/lose conversations about unpopular changes or...

So you documented your PostOp or other FAQ into Patient Materials - Want to save even MORE time? Automate your Patient Materials with an On Demand Audio link - so your forgetful patient, their caregiver, or their *substitute* (eek) caregiver has immediate 24/7 access to your PRERECORDED conversation!

Give Me Your Patient-Facing Materials + 20 Minutes... I'll Give You 10 Minutes Per Patient in Perpetuity! Go behind the scenes in a recent case study where Nathan helped save a cardiologist a lot of time, energy and repetition with different patients.

Nathan shares plenty of DIY secrets that you can use to apply and create your own site that...
