About The Price and Value Journey

The title of this show describes the journey all professional service providers are on: building a services practice by seeking to convince the world of the value we offer, helping clients achieve the outcomes they desire, and trying to do all that at pricing that reflects the value we deliver.

If you feel like you’re working too hard for too little money in your solo or small firm practice, this show is for you. Even if you’re reasonably happy with your practice, you’ll hear ways to improve both your bottom line and the mindset you bring to your business.

The show is hosted and produced by John Ray and the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX®. The show can also be found on all the major podcast apps. The complete show archive is here.

John’s book, The Generosity Mindset: A Journey to Business Success by Raising Your Confidence, Value, and Prices

John is the #1 national best-selling author of The Generosity Mindset: A Journey to Business Success by Raising Your Confidence, Value, and Prices.

If you are a professional services provider, your goal is to do transformative work for clients you love working with and get paid commensurate with the value you deliver to those clients. While negative mindsets can inhibit your growth, adopting a different mindset, The Generosity Mindset®, can replace those self-limiting beliefs. The Generosity Mindset enables you to diagnose and communicate the value you deliver to clients and, in turn, more effectively price to receive a portion of that value.

Whether you’re a consultant, coach, marketing or branding professional, business advisor, attorney, CPA, or work in virtually any other professional services discipline, your content and technical expertise are not proprietary. What’s unique, though, is your experience and how you synthesize and deliver your knowledge. What’s special is your demeanor or the way you deal with your best-fit clients. What’s invaluable is how you deliver great value by guiding people through massive changes in their personal lives and in their businesses that bring them to a place they never thought possible.

The combination of all these elements is quite different for you compared to any other service provider in your industry. Therein lies your value, but it’s not the value you see. It’s the value your best-fit customers see in you.

If pricing your value feels uncomfortable or unfamiliar to you, this book will teach you why putting a price on the value your clients perceive and identify serves both them and you, and you’ll learn the factors involved in getting your price right.

The book is available at all major physical and online book retailers worldwide. Follow this link for further details.

Innovating Ocular Disease Diagnosis, with Shiv Garg, EyeAI (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 807)

This episode of North Fulton Business Radio, hosted by John Ray, features Shiv Garg, a junior at Innovation Academy in Alpharetta and the founder of EyeAI. Shiv discusses the creation of EyeAI, a novel machine learning model for diagnosing ocular diseases. The system, which uses retinal fundus images, aims to provide early diagnosis for conditions such as diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration. Shiv shares the personal motivation behind his work, his academic and extracurricular interests, and the challenges of developing AI technology for medical use. EyeAI’s goal is to offer accessible eye disease diagnosis to underserved communities and act as a secondary tool for ophthalmologists. Despite being in development, EyeAI promises to improve early disease detection significantly. Shiv emphasizes open access and non-commercialization of the technology to benefit public health entities and individuals globally. The episode also delves into Shiv’s broader interests, accolades, and leadership experiences, particularly with Student Leadership Johns Creek.

John Ray is the host of North Fulton Business Radio. The show is recorded and produced by the North Fulton affiliate of Business RadioX® inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

Shiv Garg

Shiv Garg is a junior in the Information Technology pathway at Innovation Academy in Alpharetta. Shiv is interested in computer science, specifically with applications in artificial intelligence.

With a Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate and awards for innovation in the intersection of health and technology from Boehringer Ingelheim, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the Sigma Xi division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Shiv has completed numerous projects utilizing computer science to positively serve his community, and he uses his skills to help those around him.

Shiv has served as a mentor at the Georgia Institute of Technology to instruct students regarding data science concepts and has led a hackathon to develop technologies to facilitate scientific study and research. Shiv further applies his knowledge as part of the Technology Student Association, Mu Alpha Theta Mathematics Honor Society, and Biology Olympiad. Additionally, Shiv enjoys playing chess, competing in fencing, and adventuring on hikes.

EyeAI

Shiv Garg created EyeAI, an AI-powered system that aims to revolutionize the detection of ocular diseases. It uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) model that was trained on 3,200 images of the retinal fundus to find 45 different eye diseases 80% of the time. These include diabetic retinopathy and optic disc cupping. By providing affordable and accessible eye health diagnostics, EyeAI aims to address the global issue of visual impairment, which affects 2.2 billion people worldwide, with 1 billion cases being preventable. This web-based tool enables users to upload retinal images and receive almost instant diagnostic results, making it especially beneficial for underserved communities where access to ophthalmologists is limited.

EyeAI’s potential to transform healthcare is vast, offering early detection and secondary diagnostic support for medical professionals. The system is scalable and adaptable, capable of being integrated into healthcare settings to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of eye disease diagnosis and treatment. With plans for future enhancements to improve accuracy, EyeAI represents a significant advancement in global health equity by providing accessible and low-cost diagnostics for vision-threatening conditions.

GAABC’s mission is to engage with Georgia’s breast cancer community to increase access to care and reduce disparities in cancer outcomes.

Randi Passoff, a breast cancer survivor, founded GAABC in 2002. She created “the kinder and gentler breast cancer walk” based off the Avon 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk. Instead of a 3-day walk of 60 miles over 3 days and sleeping in a tent, the Georgia 2-Day Walk covers 30 miles over 2 days, and participants sleep in a hotel. Most importantly, what’s raised in Georgia stays in Georgia.

Renasant Bank is a major supporter of GAABC, both in corporately donated funds and employee donations and participation in the walk.

Big Brother at the Olympics: France’s New AI Surveillance Law (PrivacyCafé, Episode 6)

In this episode of PrivacyCafé, hosts Richard Sheinis and Jade Davis from Hall Booth Smith discuss France’s new data privacy law permitting AI video surveillance for the Paris Olympics. The law allows advanced AI tools and persistent surveillance to heighten security during the games. They also explore the implications of this legislation, such as potential privacy issues, the “exclusion” of biometrics, data usage by private companies, and the lack of transparency in data handling. The conversation touches on broader concerns about turning France into a surveillance state and the potential future application of similar technologies at large-scale events globally.
