When you’re buying a house, the right home inspector can be a godsend. When I was looking to buy my first place, my inspector gently guided me away from what could have been a disastrous investment. The second place I found was a keeper, and he walked me through every bit of it, showing a nervous and overwhelmed first-time homebuyer what was where and how it worked. In this episode of the Midday Referral Network Podcast, we spoke with Dominic Sciancalepore of All Angles Home Inspections. Listen in as we talk about what inspectors look for, some scary stories from the field, and why, even if you’re not planning to sell your house anytime soon, you may want to bring in an inspector for a home checkup.

Do you have no idea what you want to do when you “grow up”? Should you just go to college anyway, even if you don’t know what to major in, and hope you figure it out when you get there? Do you really need hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt to land a great paying job? There’s a paradigm shift happening in the workforce today and what was working 30 years ago is broken now. In this episode of the Midday Referral Network Podcast, we spoke with Jonaed Iqbal, Founder and CEO of Nodegree.com. There is a lot of information out there on jobs you may have never known existed – most of them not needing a degree.

HIPAA compliance is so much more than just making sure your patients’ data is secure. Half the process is training your staff to keep vigilant against fishing attacks, how to deal with ransomware, how to back up your ALL your practice’s data, and why keeping your passwords on a sticky note may NOT be the best idea. Check out this great conversation with Dash Dalipi on why it’s so much more cost-effective to be HIPAA compliant then not, especially when (not if) your firm is hacked. For more information about getting your practice HIPAA compliant, contact Dashmir Dalipi of DSS Management Inc. – Phone: C: 516-241-8603 | O: 516-584-3015 Web: http://www.dssitinc.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DSSIT/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/dssitinc/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/dssitinc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dssit/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUfIRO4HxMQ2vLpza29n0Vg For more information about how podcasts, and other forms of business storytelling, can help grow your business, contact Merrill Loechner at Smith Douglass Associates – Phone: 203-628-2606 Web: http://smithdouglass.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/smith-douglass-associates
