In this insightful episode of All Things LOCS, hosts Dr. Dan Neissany and Antonio Garcia sit down with Alexandra Rodriguez—founder and CEO of IRB Grow, IRB Immigration, and IRB Tax.

Alexandra shares how her companies help individuals and businesses navigate the complex world of immigration, taxes, and business strategy by removing fear, simplifying the rules, and empowering clients with knowledge. She reveals how cultural differences impact business practices, why most people operate out of ignorance and fear when it comes to taxes or legal matters, and how her mission is to educate and build trust by translating complicated laws into clear, actionable steps.

From explaining the difference between tax preparers, planners, and strategists to tackling the emotional intelligence required in business relationships, this conversation is packed with wisdom for entrepreneurs, immigrants, and anyone wanting to take control of their financial and legal future.

Key Takeaways:

✅ Fear and ignorance keep most people from learning about taxes, immigration, and laws—education removes that fear.

💭 The media often promotes fear to control public perception, preventing people from understanding their true options.

💡 Cultural differences significantly shape business decisions; understanding these nuances is critical for success.

🧠 Simplifying complex legal and tax language builds trust and empowers clients to act confidently.

📈 Tax preparers, planners, and strategists each serve different functions; knowing the difference saves money and avoids legal risks.

⚡ Major financial changes (inheritance, lawsuit settlements, business expansions) require immediate professional guidance to minimize taxes and maximize outcomes.

❤️ Your circle and environment determine your growth—elevating your associations accelerates financial and business success.

🌱 Emotional intelligence is necessary to balance loyalty in friendships and business while still prioritizing growth.

💰 Progress payments protect against poor results from consultants or vendors, preventing full payment without delivery.

👥 Boundaries in business relationships reveal character; if someone is offended by boundaries, it’s a red flag.

In this value-packed episode of All Things LOCS, hosts Dr. Dan Neissany and Antonio Garcia dive deep into the art and science of hiring. Rather than bringing on a guest, they explore common pitfalls and proven strategies to build a successful team—revealing why most companies fail at hiring and what to do instead.

Key Takeaways:

✅ Most hiring failures stem from unclear role definitions, missing core values, and poor understanding of human psychology.

🧩 Behavioral assessments like DISC and Predictive Index help match candidates to roles based on natural strengths rather than resumes alone.

👥 Companies often hire people similar to themselves, creating skill and personality gaps that limit growth and effectiveness.

💰 The true cost of a bad hire is hidden but significant, including lost productivity, training time, and organizational disruption.

🔑 Asking open-ended, situational questions tied to company values reveals true candidate fit beyond polished interview answers.

💬 Soft skills and hard skills must be weighed based on role demands, with public-facing and team-integrated roles requiring strong interpersonal abilities.

💻 Using technology, video introductions, and strategic team involvement streamlines the hiring process while increasing success rates.

In this powerful episode of All Things LOCS, hosts Dr. Dan Neissany and Antonio Garcia sit down with Jenna Evola—co-founder of a stem cell therapy clinic in Seattle and founder of Evolve Systems. Together, they explore the hidden crisis in private healthcare: burnout, broken systems, and the silent collapse of independent medical practices.

Jenna shares how her corporate background became a strategic asset in building resilient systems within her clinic, and how it led to her work helping other medical entrepreneurs regain control through efficient operations and virtual staffing solutions. The conversation uncovers the cultural stigma in the medical community around admitting struggle, the risk of extinction for private practice, and how regenerative medicine is both a solution and a battleground in today’s healthcare landscape.

This episode is a must-listen for healthcare providers, entrepreneurs, and patients alike—shedding light on what’s happening behind the scenes of medicine and what must change for it to survive.

Key Takeaways:Private practice physicians are facing a crisis of burnout, financial instability, and professional isolation—often with nowhere to turn for help or honest conversation.

Evolve Systems was born out of necessity, creating operational relief for practices by integrating more efficient systems, virtual staffing, and a mindset shift from reactive to strategic.

The healthcare industry resists outside input, but Jenna’s non-medical perspective allows her to offer business strategies that many practices desperately need yet avoid due to ego or fear.

Regenerative medicine is rising in popularity and results, but the space is being diluted by underqualified providers and limited by regulatory pressure from the FDA and pharmaceutical interests.

Patients must take responsibility for their care by vetting providers, asking better questions, and understanding how incentives and outdated systems shape the quality of their treatment.
