The Nifty Thrifty Dentists

NOTES:

Dr. Glenn Vo was happy to have the founder and CEO of Brockman Health, Dylan Brockman, on for another episode of the Nifty Thrifty podcast.
As a practice owner, Glenn has often run into the problem of team members coming up to him and asking if he offers benefits. Unfortunately, as a small business owner, it’s really hard to offer benefits—it’s just not affordable.
However, thanks to guys like Dylan and his team over at Brockman Health, things don’t have to be that way anymore.
Dylan’s team consists of experienced agents with an honest, transparent, and educational approach. They’re dedicated to providing innovative health and life insurance solutions for self-employed individuals, families, small business owners, and contract workers.
Dylan knows what it’s like to be a small business owner. Prior to getting a start in the insurance industry, he was an entrepreneur himself. He ran into the same problems, struggling to find a way to offer health insurance benefits that would fit into his budget.
He was stuck between two disparate options. One option was a plan that was costly but made a lot of sense. The other option was a plan that was affordable but offered high deductibles, crazy amounts of barriers to entry before getting benefits, and so on.
Dylan thinks a big reason so many practice owners run into this problem is that they simply don’t know where to find the right programs. He believes that, “there are a lot of options out there for you so long as you know where to look.”
For the past five years, Dylan has been doing just that—helping people (self-employed people, small business owners, families, etc.)—with finding affordable healthcare.
According to Dylan, there are only three avenues someone can go to get insurance. None of these “avenues” are any better than the other; everyone is unique and the best approach plans on your specific situation.
1) If you’re employed, you can go through your employer. That means you have a W-2 job, work for a Fortune 500 company, etc. and can utilize the benefits of your organization.
2) Self-employed people don't get these perks. Then use the Obamacare marketplace. These plans approve everyone and cover everyone without exclusions.
The problem with these programs is often charged based on income. If you're making decent money, you'll pay more for insurance than rent or a mortgage.
3) Another option for those who are self-employed is through the private market. According to Dylan, this is a bit of a “wild west” option where a plan might cover you for 3-6 months before kicking you out and telling you to look elsewhere—it’s hard to get good, long-term coverage.
Private programs give greater rates depending on medical history. They work similarly to life insurance, where you must prove you're low-risk.
If you’re someone who isn’t in need of high-risk procedures, this could be a good option for you.
Dylan doesn't just help dentists. Practicing doctors who want family benefits are in luck. While the first is his "niche," he can help the second.
Believe it or not, Dylan’s services are "free." He's paid by insurance contracts. Dylan's customers can use his services for free, and he gets the same pay from any company.
Dylan lacks hidden motives. He's just looking for your ideal company.

Learn about:

According to Dylan, why is it a misconception that small businesses can’t offer health insurance benefits to their team?
Why doesn’t insurance offer “one-size-fits-all” solutions?
And more!
Tune in to watch Glenn go through a screen share presentation where he scrolls through Dylan’s website and highlights what he can do for you. There’s no harm in at least reaching out; email Dylan at [email protected] or give him a call at 1-954-243-5893!

Keep your practice safe from cyber criminals with Brian Ash from Darkhorse Tech.

Notes:

This week, Dr. Glenn Vo was happy to have Brian Ash, the Chief Marketing Officer over at Darkhorse Tech, for another episode of the Nifty Thrifty podcast.
The majority of Nifty Thrifty Members will immediately recognize Darkhorse Tech, as they’ve been an awesome partner to our community for some time now. And many Nifty Thrifty members—including Glenn himself—are already Darkhorse clients.
Darkhorse Tech is a dental specific IT company (Managed Services Provider) that has been devoted to supporting dental practices for over 10 years. They focus on IT and assisting growth through tech so their clients can focus on their practices and their patients.
Darkhorse Tech manages your dental IT services effectively for a flat-rate, affordable monthly fee. They’ll help integrate your systems and support your business with reliable, responsive dental IT services.
Darkhorse Tech only works in dental IT, meaning they have a plethora of dental-specific IT expertise—it’s what makes them different from the rest.
You might be in the same boat as many practice owners—sophisticated IT might not be in your budget. That’s why Darkhorse Tech will lower the cost for smaller offices and startups.
In fact, Darkhorse Tech specializes in startup practices (design, sourcing 3rd parties, project management, pre-installation software access, installation, support, etc.).
Brian and his team over at Darkhorse Tech are always happy to chat. He wants you to know that, if you call them, they’re not the type of company to “hound you with sales.” It’s just not their style; they’re part of the Nifty Thrifty community because they want to share their expertise and help us out.

Learn about:

How are HIPPA regulations becoming more stringent?
Why is the healthcare sector now the “number one target” for cyber criminals? How can Darkhorse Tech help you protect yourself and secure your networks?
Why is IT security “serious stuff,” according to Glenn? Why is there “a lot to lose,” and why should you listen to guys like Brian?
How does Darkhorse Tech proactively monitor your network to make sure anything suspicious or troubling is dealt with in a timely manner?
How does Darkhorse Tech keep current with what’s going on in the cybercriminal landscape so that they’re never caught on their heels?
Why is it better to have humans managing your IT security instead of just software doing the job?
What does the security operations center (SOC) offer in addition to Dark Horse Tech’s other services?
How does Darkhorse Tech’s SOC offer the human component? What does their process look like between auditing, pinpointing weaknesses, keeping a constant eye on things, and sending reports?
Why should you work with Darkhorse Tech when there are cheaper IT services? How are they better than the other guys?
How can Darkhorse protect your dental practice from ransomware? How much money has Brian seen stolen from ransomware?
And more!

UNCONVENTIONAL STRATEGIES to achieve UNCOMMON WEALTH for Dentists featuring Jonathan Moffat

About:

Jonathan Moffat, the Founder of Aligned Advisors, joins Dr. Glenn Vo to discuss how Dentists can achieve Uncommon Wealth through Unconventional Strategies. We specifically dive into how alignment in the most critical parts of your life can lead to true wealth.

Jonathan came to the world of wealth management with a very personal history. From a young age, he saw his grandfather enjoy great business as a successful orthodontist, and later, lose virtually all of his wealth due to poorly coordinated advice. This experience sparked Jonathan’s passion for helping dentists avoid the same pitfalls he saw his grandfather make.

Aligned Advisors helps Dentists reach Uncommon Wealth through Unconventional strategies. The advisors here are investment agnostic. Rather than focusing on strategies that put money into our pockets, we focus on the strategies that will put money into yours.
