  • A mix

    I LOVE these podcasts for who they interview and have learned so much- the content is invaluable. However I find Alex rather condescending, rude, (don’t drink and interview.....)- and would love for Cathy or a different host to be on the podcast more!

  • Amateurish

    The host and speakers are young and naive. If you have been in this industry for more than 2 years you’ll be bored outta your mind. These podcasts are for amateurs.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mastering Your Med Spa P&L
Q: How should owners think about owner pay and profit distributions?
Owner pay should be a livable salary (5-7% of total labor, contingent on CPA guidance and revenue level), with the rest of profits distributed, taking into account debt payments and tax efficiency; distributions can be substantial to optimize taxes.
Mastering Your Med Spa P&L
Q: Can you walk through a sample scenario and explain how a Med Spa would analyze revenue and costs in a month?
We'd look at a $100,000 month, split into revenue streams (e.g., 90k services, 10k product), then Cost of Delivery (products, labor) around 50% total, and allocate 30% to products and 15-20% to labor, with the rest on advertising, admin, and profit.
Mastering Your Med Spa P&L
Q: And so a fractional CFO, what does that mean for the Med Spa owners and what is your role in their practice?
It starts with bookkeeping and organizing data so we can track performance against benchmarks, then interpret that data to identify why costs are at certain levels and where to make financial shifts for a better bottom line.
Transforming Aesthetic Provider Consultations
Q: How does Slate Labs handle AI while maintaining patient-centric, compliant training?
Slate Labs constrains AI to the user's own content and sets parameters so the AI learns from the practice's own consultations, SOPs, and trials, ensuring HIPAA compliance and a focus on authentic patient care rather than generic automation.
The Science of Skin Health in Uncertain Times
Q: How are Med Spa owners and providers describing their sentiment given current economic pressures?
Candace explains that owners are cautious and tightening belts, focusing on value beyond individual products by adopting protocol-based plans and education to justify costs, while avoiding blanket price hikes that could erode perceived outcomes.
