Scaling a Business - Focus on a Niche and recruit the right people

Scott explains how Venn Technology evolved into a focused integration company that helps businesses automate data flow across their critical applications. He breaks down why a niche is powerful, how great consultants win through the questions they ask, and why culture and core values dictate long-term success.
He also opens up about real challenges—shiny-object distractions, hiring missteps, and the sunk-cost trap—and how he learned to say “no” more often so he could say “yes” to the right opportunities. Scott wraps up by sharing his thoughts on investing, scaling wisely, and expanding into new technology ecosystems.

Financial Advisor shares investment strategies for investing

Eric sits down with Bill Clark, who spent 25 years in law enforcement, 25 years in financial radio, and over 40 years as a financial advisor before selling his firm with nearly $200 million in assets under management.
Bill walks through his unlikely path from undercover work inside a fraudulent planning firm to building a biblically based advisory practice in Frisco, Texas. He and Eric talk about how to think about risk, why every investment has downside, and how investors can avoid losing money by truly understanding what they’re investing in and who they’re partnering with.
They also dig into Bill’s decision to invest with Elevate in a Burleson, Texas apartment community, why he likes to invest close to home, and the power of tax benefits like depreciation and K-1 losses in multifamily real estate.

Using AI for Healthcare Billing

Dr. Pradhan joins Eric to talk about how the idea for his company, OnCall AI, started with a simple problem: doctors constantly give medical advice outside of appointments — through phone calls, texts, and after-hours conversations — but none of it gets documented or billed.
He explains how AI can automatically capture, organize, and turn patient conversations into proper medical notes that fit insurance guidelines. This helps healthcare providers get paid for the work they’re already doing, reduces burnout, and protects them legally by keeping every interaction documented.
Anup also discusses:• How he used ChatGPT in his own practice to solve workflow issues• Why most doctors lose billable revenue without realizing it• The misconceptions around billing for phone consultations• How AI improves accuracy, speed, security, and compliance• Big changes coming to healthcare as AI continues to advance• The rapid growth of OnCall AI and what’s next for the company
