This snack episode reveals the market gaps driving demand for this intensive format and the measurable outcomes participants can expect.
Key Highlights:
- The number one complaint from practice owners is always time, followed closely by burnout and isolation
- Most clients don't see bottom-line changes for 90 days, but the intensive provides immediate clarity and a strategic roadmap
- Ideal participants have at least one year of practice ownership experience and are financially stable enough to invest in growth
- Physical changes often appear first - better sleep, reduced tension, faster decision-making
- Average client ROI is 10x within 12-18 months, with most recouping their investment within 90 days
- The program bridges the gap between clinical excellence and business leadership confidence
Memorable Quotes: "There's such a difference between clinical excellence and confidence and business excellence and confidence."
"A lot of times once we get to know somebody, they'll confess later: 'Yeah, I feel like I don't really know what I'm doing,' and that's incredibly difficult for any highly trained professional to admit."
"You set the tone for the culture of your practice. And that can have an incredibly positive impact on your entire team, and that goes out to your patients and that ripples out to your community."
This episode offers a rare glimpse into the methodology behind helping healthcare providers reclaim their time while building thriving, sustainable practices. Whether you're feeling stuck or ready to scale, Tracy's insights provide a clear path forward.

"This industry is highly regulated, but not enforced. The blame goes to a lot of different places."
Closing

In this enlightening conversation, Andrea Nakayama breaks down the often confusing world of functional nutrition and explains how it can transform healthcare practices. Rather than focusing on restrictive diets or one-size-fits-all protocols, functional nutrition takes a personalized approach that considers each individual's unique history, physiology, and circumstances. Andrea shares how practitioners can integrate these services into their practices to better serve patients with chronic health issues, while working collaboratively within appropriate scopes of practice.
Key Highlights
- What functional nutrition really is: A systems-based approach focused on individual experience rather than dietary protocols, guided by the principles that "everything is connected, we are all unique, and all things matter"
- The three-tier framework:
- Tier 1: Non-negotiables (sleep, digestion, blood sugar balance)
- Tier 2: Deficiency to sufficiency
- Tier 3: Dismantling dysfunction
- The "three roots, many branches" model: Addressing genes, digestion, and inflammation as the root causes while symptoms and diagnoses are the branches
- Scope of practice collaboration: How functional nutrition practitioners can work alongside medical providers to fill gaps in care without overstepping boundaries
- Making nutrition accessible: Moving away from expensive testing and supplements toward a way of thinking that can be democratized for all income levels
- The bike lane analogy: Understanding your personal "path" versus "poison ivy" - what foods and choices work for your individual physiology and circumstances
- Business integration options: How practices can incorporate functional nutrition through hiring trained practitioners, referral networks, or additional training
- Patient empowerment: Helping individuals understand their personal "mediators" - what makes them feel better or worse - rather than following rigid good/bad food rules
Memorable Quotes
"We may be asking too much of our doctors... when we ask them about nutrition, that's an out of scope question."
"If somebody's having an issue with compliance, I say we didn't match the pacing of our recommendations to that person's aptitude to be able to take them on."
"Your body is likely more functional than it's not. It's doing a lot for you. And when it comes to a functional practice, we're fine tuning the dial."
"We're not replacing [medical care] - food is better, lifestyle should do it. We're augmenting all the different things that person is experiencing."
"It's not about a protocol, it's about making steps forward and working within frameworks that help people know where to start."
"We can't walk a very narrow path for a very long time, and we shouldn't."
"When we know our mediators, we're making the decisions, we're not farming out our agency for somebody else to tell us we're good or bad."
Bio:
As the host of the 15-Minute Matrix Podcast and the founder of Functional Nutrition Alliance, Andrea is leading thousands of students and practitioners around the globe in a revolution to offer better solutions to the growing chronic illness epidemic. By highlighting the importance of systems biology, root cause methodology, and therapeutic partnerships, she helps historically underserved individuals reclaim ownership of their health.

How to Buy Future Days Off Featuring Clint Harris, EP 195
Wednesday Jul 23, 2025
Wednesday Jul 23, 2025
Former medical sales professional Clint Harris discovered that financial independence alone wasn't enough - he needed time and location freedom too. After building 14 Airbnbs that replaced his income but kept him essentially on call, Clint pivoted to truly passive investments. Now a General Partner at Nomad Capital, he helps others break free from trading time for money through alternative investments like converting vacant big box stores into storage facilities.
Episode Highlights
- The Three Pillars of Investment Success: Time, experience, and money - and how to partner with others when you only have one of the three
- Why "Saving Your Way to Retirement" No Longer Works: The impact of inflation and fiscal policy on traditional retirement strategies
- The Millennial Storage Boom: How 34% of the population is driving demand for climate-controlled storage as lifestyle extensions
- Independence of Purpose: Moving beyond financial freedom to create time and location independence
- The 2008 Wake-Up Call: Why market volatility at the wrong time can derail decades of traditional investing
- Community Impact: How converting vacant buildings revitalizes small towns while generating returns
- Vertical Integration Strategy: The importance of controlling every aspect of the investment process
Memorable Quotes
"Financial independence is really not what I was after. I'm looking for financial time and location independence."
"If you buy enough of them, you can break this cycle of trading your time for money and paying for other people's days off."
"Independence of purpose is where you go where you want, when you want, do what you want, you raise your kids the way that you want."
"Money can't buy happiness, but what it can buy is ease and options."
"Instead of you getting up and working and trading more of your time for dollars, you can put that money to work. And that money is getting up and out of bed and going to work on the days that you don't feel like it."
"The most important thing is start with the end goal in mind and work backwards. And the end goal in mind should be purpose, happiness, ability to have a positive impact on the people around you."
Closing Thoughts
Clint's story reminds us that true wealth isn't just about accumulating money - it's about designing a life that aligns with our values and gives us the freedom to focus on what matters most. Whether through storage facilities, multifamily properties, or other alternative investments, the key is finding partners who share your ethics and vision, then building assets that work for you instead of the other way around.
The conversation challenges us to examine our own relationship with work and money. Are we building toward independence of purpose, or are we trapped in the cycle of trading time for dollars? As Clint puts it, the goal isn't just to make money - it's to buy future days off and create a legacy that extends far beyond our bank accounts.
Bio:
Clint Harris has a 15-year background in medical device sales. Clint has always been in the business of innovation, and creative solutions. In addition to his work with Nomad, Clint owns a strong multifamily real estate portfolio and built a highly successful property management company from the ground up with an emphasis on streamlining automation and vertical integration. Clint’s core belief is that financial independence, when combined with location and time independence, creates independence of Purpose. He joined Nomad with the goal of sharing that vision with our investors daily.

"Most of us, even experts, are making educated guesses based on history... but sometimes we're still guessing and we're taking an informed leap of faith."
"98% of the people that we've worked with would still do what they do even if they didn't need to make money, because they love it, because they feel called to it."
