    296: Dr. Mark Merolli: PT & eHealth, Where do We Stand Sep 25, 2017
    Show notes

    On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Dr. Mark Merolli joins me to chat about eHeath and physical therapy. Dr. Mark Merolli is a physiotherapist, health informatician and digital health consultant. He works in the digital health research and academia space and practices physio in a sports and musculoskeletal practice.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    -The many forms of digital health

    -The latest trends in eHealth for business marketing and knowledge management

    -Opportunities for physical therapists to leverage health data for improved treatment outcomes and insurance reimbursements

    -Mark's case for why healthcare professionals should collaborate with tech companies to create digital healthcare products

    -And so much more!

    Physical therapists can benefit from leveraging social media for both patient management and education. Mark stresses, "Social media is one trend that we can't ignore."

    With innovations such as wearable technology wide scale, fairly accurate accumulation of health data is now possible which can be used to better understand treatment outcomes and change the way insurance companies think about reimbursement. In this age Mark understands that, "Information is power."

    Many applications are being developed for health and wellness needs and Mark has found that, "There's a lot happening in the digital health space." However, many apps underperform due to lack of insights from healthcare practitioners who more readily understand the patient experience. Unfortunately, Mark has found that, "Healthcare is inherently slow to adopt a lot of these trends." Mark believes healthcare providers should partner with digital innovators and have a role in developing these technologies because, "It's the practicing health professional's role to have an intimate knowledge of healthcare."

    For more information on Mark:

    I'm Mark Merolli, a passionate digital health and informatics professional. I work in academia, research, clinical practice, as a consultant, and on various entrepreneurial projects.

    My clinical background as a Physiotherapist has been rewarding and grounding. After years focussing on clinical practice exclusively, I was drawn in by the paradigm shift I was witnessing both with my own patients and in the wider community – a push enabled by technology. I was an early adopter. During a stint living and practicing abroad in the United Kingdom, I was fortunate enough to gain some experience working at a digital media agency alongside my clinical work, specialising in online, print media and advertising. This parallel experience to health practice was invaluable and provided a foothold to explore "digital" in "health". Working as part of the online team helped me gain extensive knowledge in the web, social media, website management, search engine optimization (SEO), digital analytics and, digital strategy. By doing this, I was better able to conceptualise the digital landscape and relate it back to my passion – healthcare.

    All of my experiences have led me to focus my career very much in the digital health space. I have a PhD in this area, specialising in social media for health but my interests and expertise covers a range of technologies and areas (especially consumer-centric technologies that influence participation in health – mHealth, apps, sensors, telehealth, virtual reality, games, etc).

    Now, I research, lecture, educate, strategise, speak and provide thought leadership on all things digital health to various health organisations, entities and individuals. I love all of my roles!

    I also have formal qualifications in health informatics, such as Membership in the Australasian College of Health Informatics (MACHI), am a Certified Health Informatician Australasia (CHIA), endorsed by Australian College of Health Informatics (ACHI) and Health Informatics Society of Australia (HISA), and am the Chairman of the International Medical Informatics Association – Participatory Health and Social Media Working Group (IMIA – PHSM).

    My real passion is to connect with likeminded health professionals and other stakeholders who are interested in this big wide world we now call "digital health". As technologies continue to intertwine with healthcare, it's important we're equipped with the knowledge and understanding to operate confidently in this environment. My overall vision is to connect with, educate and up-skill health professionals across a variety of digital health areas and to help solve practical solutions in future models of healthcare.

    My Mission: "To connect professionals with digital health"

    My Credo: "For health professionals..by health professionals"

    295: Dr. Osman Ahmed: Concussion and eHealth Sep 18, 2017
    Show notes

    On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Dr. Osman Ahmed joins me to discuss concussion management and eHealth. Dr. Ahmed is a Lecturer in Physiotherapy at Bournemouth University, England and also works for the Football Association in England as a physiotherapist within their elite disability football programme. Since completing his PhD he has published and presented widely in the fields of concussion and eHealth/social media healthcare.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    -Is social media propagating myths about concussions?

    -Why healthcare providers should be engaging in eHealth initiatives

    -Challenges with concussion management for disabled populations

    -The important role journalists play in disseminating knowledge about concussions in the mainstream media

    -And so much more!

    More providers are beginning to engage the public with healthcare information through the use of social media. Dr. Ahmed warns, "Social media is not going to stay the same. Social media is going to evolve." The challenge for clinicians is to keep current with the different platforms and continue to engage with users. He encourages, "We have to engage patients where they are."

    Most of the markers in our current assessment tools for concussion recognition and concussion assessment will not have the same validity in disabled populations. Dr. Ahmed stresses, "There is a big opportunity to enhance the care for athletes with a disability when it comes to concussion in sport."

    Dr. Ahmed believes transforming the public's view of concussions through the conduit of influencers in the media may be one of the best options for getting better healthcare outcomes following injury. As a result of a more informed public, "Better educated clinicians are going to be able to treat concussions better. Better educated parents are going to be able to manage their kids' symptoms better. Better educated players are not going to push each other to go back until their symptom free."

    For more information on Dr. Ahmed:

    Dr. Osman Ahmed is a Lecturer in Physiotherapy at Bournemouth University, England and also works for the Football Association in England as a physiotherapist within their elite disability football programme. He graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2002, and worked clinically until commencing his PhD in 2008 at the University of Otago, New Zealand on the topic of concussion in sport (with a focus on social media and concussion). Since completing his PhD he has published and presented widely in the fields of concussion and eHealth/social media healthcare.

    294: Scott Ford: Building Wealth for a Lifetime Sep 11, 2017
    Show notes

    On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Scott Ford joins me to discuss building wealth for a lifetime. Scott Ford is Founder and CEO of Cornerstone Wealth Management Group, an independent Registered Investment Advisory firm serving entrepreneurs, business owners, executives, and their families. The firm specializes in comprehensive wealth management, business liquidity strategies, and SBA financing. It is Scott's mission to help his clients pursue financial freedom and live a balanced and fulfilled life.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    -How to shift to a long-term mindset with the Lifetime Extender Exercise

    -The Sustainable Edge: balancing personal life to achieve professional growth

    -Scott's top habit changes to increase productivity

    -Retirement, investment and saving strategies to make money last a lifetime

    -And so much more!

    Focusing on short-term career and personal goals can often lead to an underappreciation of the long-run. Scott envisions what can be accomplished over his longest potential lifespan, which he believes, "Gives me the opportunity and space to think about how I am going to accomplish that because it's a long game."

    Scott encourages everyone to compound their accomplishments over the long-term by completing at least one important task every day. Scott stresses, "If I just accomplish one thing per day but I'm doing that over a span of 30 years and that one thing I know is the most important task, what impact is that going to have on me and other people's lives over a 30 year span? It's huge." One of Scott's tips for short term planning is to remember that, "What is on your calendar is what your priorities are regardless of what you tell yourself."

    While putting away money for retirement is always an important consideration, Scott believes aspiring entrepreneurs should leave enough to allocate to their current pursuits. "One of your best investments if this person has their own business is in themselves and in their business."

    For more information on Scott:

    Scott Ford is Founder and CEO of Cornerstone Wealth Management Group, an independent Registered Investment Advisory firm serving entrepreneurs, business owners, executives, and their families. The firm specializes in comprehensive wealth management, business liquidity strategies, and SBA financing.

    Scott is the author of three books: Financial Jiu-Jitsu: A Fighter's Guide to Conquering Your Finances, The Widow's Wealth Map: Six Steps to Beginning Again, and the New York Time Bestseller, The Sustainable Edge: Fifteen Minutes a Week to a Richer Entrepreneurial Life. He and his wife, Angie, reside in Hedgesville, WV and have two wonderful children as well as a dog and a cat.

    293: Dr. Alli Gokeler: ACL Rehab, Motor Learning Approach Aug 28, 2017
    Show notes

    On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Dr. Alli Gokeler joins me to discuss motor learning following ACL injury. Alli has a special interest in motor control. He's currently working on the development of prevention programs designed to reduce primary and secondary ACL injury rate and optimization of return to sports and performance.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    -The 4 principles of motor learning

    -How to facilitate neuroplasticity with principles of motor learning

    -Self-controlled feedback and how it enhances learning and motivation

    -Dr. Gokeler's take on the timetable for returning to sport following ACL injury

    -And so much more!

    The way clinicians guide and cue their patients can impact their patients' success in learning motor skills. Dr. Gokeler outlines important considerations for clinicians and suggests, "A very simple change in wording can have a significant effect on learning."

    Incorporating motor learning principles into your treatment is not a one-sized fit all approach and can be dependent on the learning style of the patient, the task and the environment. Dr. Gokeler reiterates, "There is no motor learning principle that is the gold standard."

    Despite widely accepted ACL injury rehabilitation practices, patients continue to display high incidence of re-injury and altered movement patterns. Dr. Gokeler believes, "We need to step up and come up with better rehab approaches." To improve long term outcomes, Dr. Gokeler advises all clinicians to, "Make rehab challenging, fun but attainable."

    For more information on Dr. Gokeler:

    Alli Gokeler was born on 18 September 1967 in Groningen, the Netherlands. He obtained his degree in Physical Therapy in 1990 from the Rijkshogeschool Groningen. From 1991-2001 he worked as a physical therapist in the United States and Germany. Upon return to the Netherlands, he obtained a degree in Sports Physical Therapy from the Utrecht University of Applied Science in 2003. In 2005 he started on his PhD project at the University Medical Center Groningen, Center for Rehabilitation. Alli has a special interest in motor control. He's currently working on the development of prevention programs designed to reduce primary and secondary ACL injury rate and optimization of return to sports and performance.

    291: Dr. Jason Eure, DPT: Intraprofessional Communication Aug 21, 2017
    Show notes

    On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Dr. Jason Eure, DPT joins me to discuss intraprofessional communication. Jason is an outpatient physiotherapist based in Virginia with an interest in exploring how our innate biases are influencing our reasoning abilities and preventing constructive communication.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    -Human susceptibility to confirmation bias

    -How online communication differs from in person communication

    -Common assumptions within arguments: what is being said and what is not being said

    -How argumentation will progress the physical therapy profession

    -And so much more!

    Humans are susceptible to confirmation bias and "We tend to gravitate towards people who think like we do." Jason also stresses that individuals do not weigh evidence from every perspective and come to rational decisions but, "We have these intuitive beliefs of something we just want to believe and then after the fact we will come up with justifications for why that is true. We are really biased in the way that we come to our decisions."

    Before trying to reason with someone, Jason recommends first establishing rapport with the person and then framing the argument around their values. Jason begins each conversation by asking, "What information would have to be provided to have them change their mind." Jason also cautions, "If someone is not willing to have their mind changed, there's literally nothing you can say to have them change their mind."

    While it's important to consider the biases of others before engaging in an argument, it's even more critical to assess your own biases and be willing to accept counter evidence which challenges your beliefs. Jason stresses, "Group reasoning always is going to outperform the individuals. It is absolutely essential for us to move the profession forward collectively."

    For more information on Jason: A Physical Therapist working in the outpatient setting. Aside from caring about dogs, movies, and music- I have a strong passion for my professional field. I have been compelled to write about various topics within PT to help nudge the profession forward in any small way I can. Recently, I have invested time exploring how our innate biases are influencing our reasoning abilities and preventing constructive communication.

    290: Naomi Mdudu, From Content to Consulting Aug 07, 2017
    Show notes

    On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Naomi Mdudu joins me on the show to discuss strategies for entrepreneurial success. Naomi Mdudu founded The Lifestyle Edit in February 2015, following a string of successful positions within the fashion industry in the UK. Her love of digital media and the lack of real-life content for women inspired her to create the UK's first digital lifestyle glossy, which has amassed a loyal following in the UK and US in the short time since its launch. In 2016 she expanded The Lifestyle Edit business to encompass a consulting company that supports the small to medium sized female founded businesses she champions on the site.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    -How Naomi made the leap from managing a content platform to consulting small businesses

    -How to differentiate yourself from others in your space

    -Strategies for on-boarding new clients and how to manage their expectations

    -Why you should focus on cooperation over competition

    -And so much more!

    Pursuing entrepreneurial ventures is more about conquering fear than taking excessive risks. Naomi has found, "The fear is more about the unknown. When you really break it down, many of us don't have anything to lose." She has found that challenging your mindset will help squelch most doubts saying, "I'm in a really strong and empowered position."

    Seeing your work directly contribute to your personal success and benefit others is one of the many rewards of being an entrepreneur. Naomi offers, "Every day I wake up knowing that my success boils down to me and how much I am willing to put in it. I can't think of something more liberating than that."

    Expanding a business requires delegation of certain tasks to allow more time to focus on what actually matters. From Naomi's experience, she states, "In order for my business to grow, I need to constantly be working in my mode of genius and delegate the rest."

    For more information on Naomi:

    Naomi Mdudu founded The Lifestyle Edit in February 2015, following a string of successful positions within the fashion industry in the UK. Prior to launching The Lifestyle Edit, Mdudu was the fashion editor of Metro as well as City A.M.'s Style Editor and the PR to luxury Italian label Alessandra Ferreira. Her love of digital media and the lack of real-life content for women inspired her to create the UK's first digital lifestyle glossy, which has amassed a loyal following in the UK and US in the short time since it's launch. Hailing from South London, Mdudu graduated with a law degree, before turning to fashion and has worked with the likes of Harper's Bazaar, Glamour and Tatler, all before reaching her mid-twenties. In 2016 she expanded The Lifestyle Edit business to encompass a consulting company that supports the small to medium sized female founded businesses she champions on the site. She's currently living between London and New York, as she expands The Lifestyle Edit internationally.

    289: Jonathan David Lewis: Brand vs Wild Jul 31, 2017
    Show notes

    On today's episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, I welcome Jonathan David Lewis onto the show to discuss brand survival. Jonathan David Lewis is the author of Brand vs Wild, a Forbes contributor and a brand survival expert at McKee Wallwork + Co. Jonathan's opinions are highly sought by numerous business and marketing publications, including Forbes, Digiday, and Advertising Age, where he explores the factors of stalled growth and the principles proven to help companies traverse the dangers of the brand wilderness.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    -What survival psychology can teach us about growing a business

    -Why maintaining success requires continual curiosity

    -Brand differentiation strategies and how to find your niche audience

    -Brand vs Wild: how to navigate the increasingly harsh business world

    -And so much more!

    Business challenges can create fear, but fear is a primary driver of personal and business growth. Jonathan believes, "Fear is one of those emotions that is fundamental to business and career and life."

    Survival psychology describes three different reactions to adversity: being prepared, becoming paralyzed or panicking. Interestingly, Jonathan describes, "There is very little difference psychologically between a group of survivors who have crashed landed on a mountain or became lost in the desert and a group of business people who are just trying to navigate some sort of unexpected business challenge. We go through the same psychological reaction."

    Being an industry leader breeds complacency and arrogance. Jonathan warns, "One of the biggest enemies of continual learning is success."

    The age of mass marketing is coming to an end. New businesses should seek to be hyper-relevant to a very small tribe. Jonathan reminds us, "It's okay to be small. It's okay to be niche."

    For more information on Jonathan:

    Jonathan David Lewis is the author of Brand vs Wild, a Forbes contributor and a brand survival expert at McKee Wallwork + Co.

    As partner and strategy director at MW+C, Jonathan led his firm to be recognized by purveyor Advertising Age as a national leader in branding and marketing, winning the Southwest Small Agency of the Year, national B2B Campaign of the Year, and national Best Places to Work awards.

    Jonathan sharpened his skills during the harsh years of the Great Recession, helping brands navigate today's unforgiving new business paradigms. Jonathan's opinions are highly sought by numerous business and marketing publications, including Forbes, Digiday, and Advertising Age, where he explores the factors of stalled growth and the principles proven to help companies traverse the dangers of the brand wilderness.

    287: Prof. Lorimer Moseley: The Pain Revolution Jul 24, 2017
    Show notes

    On today's episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, I had the honor of welcoming Professor Lorimer Moseley onto the show to answer audience questions regarding persistent pain. Lorimer Moseley's interests lie in the role of the brain and mind in chronic pain. He is Professor of Clinical Neurosciences at the University of South Australia and a Senior Principal Research Fellow at Neuroscience Research Australia.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    -The Pain Revolution: creating a public discourse about persistent pain

    -Misconceptions surrounding the biopsychosocial model and pain

    -Confronting medical providers who promote negative pain beliefs

    -Is there merit in using placebo treatments for chronic pain?

    -How does Lorimer stay critical of his own scientific work?

    -And so much more!

    Persistent pain needs to be understood not only by clinicians but the general public and policymakers. Lorimer believes, "It's our most burdensome non-fatal condition facing our species."

    Clinicians need to understand what motivates their patients. Lorimer reminds us that, "When push comes to shove, in the raw moment, you ask a patient with persistent pain or anyone in pain, what do you want most right now? I think most of them would say pain relief."

    Medical providers hold a great deal of sway with patients. This influence can be used to validate what patients are feeling and aid the healing process. Lorimer states, "Nearly all health professionals have a natural tendency and a very slick skill set of legitimizing someone's suffering."

    Although the biopsychosocial model differs in many ways from the biomedical model, there are many opportunities to share insights and practitioners of both frameworks should be self-critical. Lorimer advices, "It's tempting for us to cast character judgments on those who are not like us. Actually, I think that people are trying to help their patients a lot of the time. They're good people. I really think we need to collaborate and just keep open the possibility that we're wrong. We have to be committed to try and prove ourselves wrong."

    For more information on Lorimer:

    Professor Lorimer Moseley is a clinical scientist investigating pain in humans. After posts at The University of Oxford, UK, and the University of Sydney, Lorimer was appointed Foundation Professor of Neuroscience and Chair in Physiotherapy, The Sansom Institute for Health Research at the University of South Australia. He is also Senior Principal Research Fellow at NeuRA and an NHMRC Principal Research Fellow.

    He has published over 200 papers, four books and numerous book chapters. He has given over 140 keynote or invited presentations at interdisciplinary meetings in 30 countries and has provided professional education in pain sciences to over 10,000 medical and health practitioners and public lectures to as many again. His YouTube and TEDx talks have been viewed over 200,000 times.

    He consults to governmental and industry bodies in Europe and North America on pain-related issues. He was awarded the inaugural Ulf Lindblom Award for the outstanding mid-career clinical scientist working in a pain-related field by the International Association for the Study of Pain, was shortlisted for the 2011 and 2012 Australian Science Minister's Prize for Life Sciences, and won the 2013 Marshall & Warren Award from the NHMRC, for the Best Innovative and Potentially Transformative Project.
