    Creating Safe Skincare Products
    Jul 11 2025
    Mei Yung - Ageless Zen Skincare On the Value of Safe Skincare: "It's not about so much about vanity, but having healthy skin." Maintenance free is what we all seem to want. But with some things, we don't get that option. Our skin, that we do not get a second chance with, is one of those things we need to maintain in order to keep healthy. Mei Yung Lee, the founder and CEO of Ageless Zen, a skincare company built on a mission of authenticity, transparency, and giving back. Mei shares her personal journey from investor and philanthropist to entrepreneur, inspired by her search for truly natural skincare solutions and her father's legacy as an herbal doctor in Hong Kong. Together, James and Mei dive deep into the world of skincare ingredients, industry regulations, and why many products on the market don’t meet the standards consumers deserve. Mei details how Ageless Zen’s products are created with scientific rigor, natural ingredients, and minimal preservatives, emphasizing safety and efficacy while supporting non-profit initiatives like funding schools and cancer research. She pulls back the curtain on the challenges of sourcing rare ingredients, the complexities of creating shelf-stable, effective creams without harmful chemicals, and the thought behind her innovative, eco-friendly product packaging. Listen as Mei details how she started her skincare company and what she has learned throughout the process. Enjoy!

That's a very interesting question you asked. And I think your listeners should also understand it too. FDA in America actually does not, you know, approve any product. They have a set of guidelines and they assume people will follow that guideline. And you build your product in the facility that is approved by the FDA and they can check the facility, all of that to make sure, you know, that everything is up to that particular standard. But mostly it's up to a skincare company to uphold it. And like, for example, I can tell you currently US company, you know, have about three or four hundred ingredients they're not allowed to use because they're toxic. Mei Yung [00:00:48]: They're highly sensitive like you said. But in Canada there's over a thousand or fifteen hundred that matter. Depends on where you look at.

  • The Passive Income Guide

    The Passive Income Guide
    Jul 4 2025
    Dustin Heiner - Master Passive Income On the Game of Entrepreneurship: "I love building businesses. One of my favorite things, like it's a game. So I just keep trying to do better at that game." Passive income seems to be one of the most underrated ways to fulfill your dreams. Maybe that seems like a stretch, but it has been proven again and again. There are a few tricks to mastering passive income: 1) Realize it takes time- it is a get rich slow game, 2) Many others have done it and many of them share how they did it, and 3) Just about anyone can do this. Dustin Heiner joins us for the second time to discuss how he has created his passive income dynasty and how he shares his wisdom with other investors. The hardest part about anything, investing included, is just getting started. Dustin explains how he shifted his mindset to get out of the job world and move into the, ironically, more stable real estate investment world. Listen as Dustin explains the steps for starting your passive income journey, how to start small and build upon your success. The goal is that one day in the future, think 10ish years, you will not have to work. You'll still want to, for the love of the game. Enjoy! Visit Dustin at: https://masterpassiveincome.com/ Podcast Overview: 00:00 Traditional Career Path Critique 05:08 Awaiting News: Anxiety in Office 12:20 Avoid Property Management Pitfalls 18:26 "Understanding Financial Independence How-Tos" 22:23 "Slow Hiring, Fast Firing Strategy" 27:01 Understanding Property Financing Options 33:58 "1% Rent Rule for Purchases" 41:40 Real Estate Tax Strategy Insights 47:13 Real Estate: Unlocking Business Benefits 48:30 Out-of-State Real Estate Investing 56:54 "Free Real Estate Investment Course" 58:58 "Debt-Free Investing Foundations" 01:04:49 Supporting Others' Success Podcast Transcription: Dustin Heiner [00:00:00]: I get a call from the boss's bosses, boss's secretary, like top dog. And she says, Dustin, would you please come in the office? And I paused for a second. Sure. I hung up the phone. I said to myself, why are they calling me the office? Like this isn't normal. If I get laid off, does that make me a failure as a father? The last time I walked to my car, I felt like I was walking on clouds because I knew I would never ever need a job again. If you build the business first, then you have the experts that are doing it as opposed to you hoping that you're doing it right. Especially if you're investing out of state. Dustin Heiner [00:00:27]: Anybody that you hear, let's say Instagram or TikTok, the people that have been around since 2020, 2022, they started, oh, I bought three properties and I'm a millionaire, blah blah blah. I've now taught my 16 year old daughter to buy her first property. So she bought her first property three months ago. It's an active loss for you, so you can depreciate. $100,000 is what I did. Everything around real estate, I figure, well, shoot, what else can we do? Well, people need homeowners insurance, maybe I might go down that route. Do you mind if I just give everybody my course for free?

So Dustin, how is it going today? Dustin Heiner [00:01:29]: James, I'm blessed man. Thank you so much for having me on the show. Yeah, it's great business and money. I find it's almost a game.

  • How to Start a Veterinary Practice

    How to Start a Veterinary Practice
    Jun 27 2025
    Lisa Grulke and Cat Munson - Animal Center for Emergency and Specialty (ACES) On the Reality of Working in Veterinary Medicine: "You're gonna have to talk with the family that can't necessarily afford to take care of their animal all the time. You're gonna have to lift a 80 pound dog. There's just certain things where we can make your life easier and better financially, but there's certain things that are just part of the job." The veterinary field is a challenging one. For those that are working in the field, you need to work with animals that cannot necessarily tell you what hurts. On the same side, they are communicating with the variety of pet owners. Another significant issue comes down to the money. Many people have left the veterinary profession for other, arguably easier, jobs for similar pay. The veterinary field is a business that requires the love of pets to be accepted as part of the reason you are in the field. Add onto the issue of growing demand as populations climb and pet ownership grows along with it and the declining or typically static existence of veterinary care facilities makes the business of veterinary medicine interesting, to say the least. Lisa Grulke and Cat Munson saw the need, and decided to build from scratch a veterinary practice of their own, the Animal Center for Emergency and Specialty (ACES) in Madison, Wisconsin. They went full in with a new building, new equipment and processes for everything gained through their individual veterinary paths. Listen as Lisa and Cat explain how they got to be the admirable veterinary entrepreneurs they are and how they came to make the decisions they did. The process was seemingly clinical in execution and the result has been nothing shy of amazing. Enjoy!

I'm not working with people because people are awful. And so then I was like, well, I'm gonna work with animals instead. And I stuck with it.

Speaker [00:00:41]: Let's start out with foundation. Tell us what ACEs is. Speaker [00:00:44]: So ACEs, or Animal Center for Emergency and Specialty, is a brand new after hours urgent care in the Madison area. We also have oncology during the week. But our primary focus and where it was born from was extending the reach and availability of care for sick or injured pets. Speaker [00:01:03]: All right, does ACEs stand for something? It's an acronym, right? Speaker [00:01:07]: Yep, yep, yep. All right,
