How Being Innovative And Courageous Will Teach You To Be
A Better Entrepreneur
TRAVIS: Hey, it's Travis Lane Jenkins, welcome to episode 113 of the Entrepreneur's Radio
Show, a production of rockstarentrepreneurnetwork.com, where each and every week I connect
you with self-made millionaires and high-level entrepreneurs that explain their journey to
success.
Now today I'm going to introduce you to Dr. Jennifer Shine Dyer MD and we're going to talk
about some things that she's done that's really innovative and will apply to all different types of
businesses. As you know if you've been listening very long I love to bring people from a wide
variety of industries to you so that you can see one of the common denominators for success,
which is innovation. Now, Jennifer has definitely done some very interesting and innovative
things that I believe will help spark ideas for you and your business. Before we get started, I
want to say thank you DocWalker78 for the 5-star review there in iTunes. DocWalter, Walker,
I'm sorry. I'm having a hard time talking today. DocWalker78 I really appreciate the time you
took to write the review and thanks for the great feedback.
On a separate note, before I segue into the interview today, I want to challenge you to send me
problems that you're dealing with in your business. And what I'll do is I'm going to create an
episode where I'll answer your questions. We're very close to starting this new segment for the
Entrepreneur's Radio Show where each and every week I'll answer 1 or 2 businessperson’s
problems and give you advice on what you should be doing. Just be sure that you give me the
full details of who you are, what you're doing, and what the problem is. All you've got to do is go

to rockstarentrepreneurnetwork.com, opt in right there on the right hand side. You'll get a
message from me and then you'll get my email address as well. And you can add all of those
details in there. Just tell me what's going on. And then of course I'll exclude your last name.
One last thing, before we get started I want to remind you, there's 3 ways to take the interviews
with you on the go rather than just sitting at your computer. You can go through iTunes,
Android, or Stitcher. Just go to rockstarentrepreneurnetwork.com, click on the iTunes, Android,
or Stitcher button there on the menu bar, right there in the middle, and it will take you directly to
the podcast, where you can subscribe to the show if that's something that you want to do as
well. So without further ado let's get down to business. Welcome to the show Jennifer.
DR. DYER: Thanks Travis.
TRAVIS: You bet. I'm excited to hang out with you. You're an interesting person from the
perspective that as I read it is you don't come from the normal angle that most doctors do. Do
you agree with that?
DR. DYER: Yes, I have an interesting background.
TRAVIS: Right. So give us that journey of what brought you here today, because I feel like
that's illustrative.
DR. DYER: Well, essentially, I'm a problem solver, which is really what all doctors are. And the
problem solving has led me into the business world because the business world has a lot of
room for creativity and for execution, getting things done. And my patients are savvy
consumers. And essentially that's kind of where I found myself because I needed to solve the
problem, I have consumer-savvy patients, teenagers, and I needed a creative way to help solve
the problem of them not taking their medicine. So essentially, I've always been relatively non-
traditional in the sense that I was journalism major, an undergrad, I went to medical school. And
when I was accepted to medical school there was a big push to have a lot of diversity, and I do
think my liberal arts background lends to the kind of career I have now.
TRAVIS: Interesting. And so, the things that you've described so far are mostly right brain
oriented type of things, yet being a physician traditionally is a left-brain skill.
DR. DYER: Yes. I'm very much both sides of the brain. And in my medical school training and
science background training there's very little room for the right brain. And that was really hard
for me. But as I finish my training, and as a researcher it really incorporates that creativity and
it's very fulfilling, I love it.

TRAVIS: Right. I don't want to get too far field here but I have a personal affinity for functional
medicine. Does that play any role in what you do?
DR. DYER: What do you mean by functional medicine?
TRAVIS: Getting more to the root cause of what's going on.
DR. DYER: Oh yes, absolutely. In pediatrics, as any pediatrician we'll say, "We do not use
medicine unless it's absolutely necessary." And we try to make natural solutions as much as
possible because a child is not meant to be on a lot of medicines. So we tend to be fairly holistic
as pediatricians, and I think that's what you're alluding to.
TRAVIS: Yes, right.
DR. DYER: By trying to find the actual cause instead of covering up the symptoms.
TRAVIS: I feel like most doctors have been trained to either prescribe a pill for it, or want to cut
the problem out. When a lot of times it's a series of things that the patient needs to take under
control that requires work, time, and effort. And most people don't want to put that time and
effort in. And also the doctors have not been trained to go down that path.
DR. DYER: That's absolutely true. And I find myself as a relatively young doctor I guess that I
find my role as a coach being something that's a new thing and coaching a patient through their
own problem solving and their own ability to make solutions. And that's where the business
background and my business ventures come in that technology and consumer-facing
technologies are really good ways to do that.
TRAVIS: So you're starting out in something completely different than being a physician. What
in your journey brought you down the path of becoming this physician, and then what led to you
building a successful business?
DR. DYER: Well, I first started out solving problems as a researcher. And the problem I try to
solve with my teenage patients was with type 1 diabetes, they were not pressing the button
whenever they would be eating. And that's called a bolus. And it wasn't because it was hard,
there are a lot of complex reasons but teenagers don't want to have diabetes, and I felt like they
just were too busy and they were forgetting about it. But in their appointments I saw that they
always have their phone. I've never seen a teenager without a phone. And so, I thought that
texting them would help get me as their doctor in their life more, and that might just kind of nag
them to push that button more. And so I started a study with just texting on a weekly basis. And
that study really had a profound impact on their improvement of pushing that button, and it
improved their health. And it actually got picked up by national media and it just kind of
THE ENTREPRENEUR’S RADIO SHOW
Conversations with Self-made Millionaires and High-level Entrepreneurs that Grow Your Business

snowballed into this viral story that doctor uses texting to improve outcomes. And I found myself
thrust into speaking engagements, and conferences, and I went even to the White House, I've
gone to Paris, Silicon Valley, all over the place. And here I was just trying to solve a problem as
a doctor. But actually, texting ended up not working. And I started working on a solution,
building an app with a medical student just in my free time because I like to tinker around with
technology, always have. And I really met a lot of inspiring people on this journey of going to
conferences, and meetings, and networking. And I found the courage to start my own business.
And I have a very supportive husband and I just went for it. And so in building a business I've
had to learn a lot that I didn't know before because I was in academics. And in academics I
never learned how to build a business. But now I'm in private practice and I have a technology
business. And there are similar skills that go with both. You have to be very adaptive and thirsty
for learning. So I actually got accepted into an accelerator here locally, and there were a lot of
competitive candidates and I felt very honored to be chosen. And I really kind of gotten MBA on
the fly by learning that summer in the business-related accelerator, it wasn't healthcare, how a
business, specifically a technology business works.
TRAVIS: So, is it a SaaS type business, software as a service?
DR. DYER: Yes.
TRAVIS: Okay. And so, those are actually an ideal business model for a lot of people because
they don't have a lot of the lower level bottleneck problems with service-based businesses,
right?
DR. DYER: Exactly.
TRAVIS: So, the learning curve for you is gigantic, because social media is one thing, business
is another, online apps, all of those things that are related to that, that's a whole different thing.
And then like you said there's some correlations of business between the two, but they're all
very steep learning curves. You must have an affinity for learning.
DR. DYER: I'm lucky, I'm highly curious and I am a quick learner. But as a doctor I'm always
learning. And that's what I like about being a doctor and that's what I like about the technology
field, it's very challenging. My patients though, the kids in our practice, they're really smart. They
are constantly hacking their meters, trying to switch up on me about their data. And I can always
tell by what their Hemoglobin A1c or biomarkers are. But these kids are hacking their meters,
they're building robots to solve the Rubik's Cube in 6 seconds. I have to keep up with them and I
love it. But it's a big learning curve. The kids, they really inspired me. I feel like I don't know
enough because of the kids.
TRAVIS: Right.

DR. DYER: We're in a really interesting era right now. Things are changing, and growing, and
evolving at such a breakneck speed that I feel like even the medical industry is on the verge of
some pretty incredible breakthroughs. One of the things that I wanted to go back, I was
interested in understanding the lesson that you learned. Whenever the texting didn't work, why
did it not work and what was the option?
TRAVIS: Well, my educational background is I have a master’s in public health and health
behavior change. And health behavior change, there are several different theories about what
motivates people to do a positive health behavior. And B.J. Fogg's health behavior model that
he developed at Stanford talks about how best to use a technology to motivate positive
behaviors. And the texting that I was doing was only doing one of the three principles. And the
three principles, one of them that the texting was doing was being a reminder, or an alert. But
technology needs to have also education about that particular behavior. But it also needs to
have a motivation for that behavior. About some kind of incentive or reward program. Something
that entices that user. Something beyond that behavior itself. So you cannot tell a teenager,
"Well, don't you just want to push that button because you'll be healthy?" No. That's basically
what they say. But if you say, "Well, would you like some money if you push that button?" Then
they're like, "Yeah." And essentially I learned at first that I needed a technology that provided
some kind of reward. So the first thing that I did was have an app, the EndoGoddess app that
essentially gave iTunes points whenever they would check their blood sugar 4 times a day. And
that also had the reminder component because there were alarms, and it had a lot of
informational component for checking blood sugars and having access to other people that have
diabetes in the social sphere. So the next stage of the business is called EndoGoal and that's
what I'm currently working on, which is a transaction platform where your friends and family can
sponsor you and you can get real money through checking your blood sugars.
TRAVIS: Well, you know what that's called, that's called gamification.
DR. DYER: Yes, absolutely. And so, in our office as a doctor that works with teenagers I have to
be creative, I have to motivate them because I don't want to see them on a dialysis machine
when they're 30. And I have to find things that work. In our office right now we're trying a black
belt ninja game of diabetes where we're going to have a masters of computer science student
working with us to create a mobile app game coinciding with our game here in the office. Being
in Columbus, Ohio we have the Ohio State University and many talents right here that I'm going
to be using. And find very helpful and inspiring as an entrepreneur.
TRAVIS: You know, I completely agree with you and understand where you're going with that. I
think about the three things that you mentioned. So the reminder needs education, needs
motivation. And so, with the texting it was just the reminder. I find when working with people-- so
you told them do this and you'll get healthier. Well, that's not enough. If you educate them and
say beyond just getting healthier, explain the ramifications of what could happen, that you could
THE ENTREPRENEUR’S RADIO SHOW
Conversations with Self-made Millionaires and High-level Entrepreneurs that Grow Your Business

side or you could use your feet. Or maybe not something that drastic. But if people understand
on a deeper level why. Why they need to do something. And then you tie some gamification and
it really becomes much more of a desirable action for that person.
DR. DYER: Yes. But I will tell you that fear typically allies with teenagers, it doesn't work. So you
say like you're going to lose your foot when you're 30. Well they say, "30 is old. I don't care. I'll
just be on a nursing home." Sometimes they say that, because they can't developmentally think.
They don't realize that 30 is really not old. To them they think it's old.
TRAVIS: Right.
DR. DYER: So that argument works for you and I but it doesn't work for teenagers. They
understand right now. So I do have to educate them, they know it's important but I need to
entice them. And that's where gaming comes in.
TRAVIS: Right. And so, when you did educate them what type of things if it wasn't fear-based
and I'm not for fear mongering anyways. I'm much more for fact-based education. What type of
education did you offer them beyond just this will make you healthier?
DR. DYER: Well, we have a protocol here in our office where we have teenagers and their
family members watch a video here in our office about the specifics of complications that can
happen with diabetes. But then we empower them, we're using a technique called motivational
interviewing where we create an action plan and we focus them on to how they're going to solve
their problems. So we tell them what can happen but then we empower them with the next steps
about so that that's not going to happen. Because in pediatrics we are lucky that we are not
seeing the complications in our patients, it's more of a futuristic kind of thing that can happen for
them. And we try to help patients feel empowered. And as a consumer and in the business
world that's a very similar principle about empowering your customers. And it's a similar feel I
feel that when I think about a user or a customer, I'm thinking similarly for my patients.
TRAVIS: Okay, let me ask you, getting beyond these applications and how you're using them.
What have you grown to discover or uncover for yourself in growing your business. What were
those pivot points or aha moments that helped you bridge or grow to that next level in your
practice or your other business?
DR. DYER: I think that whenever you're testing out a technology. When you're testing out your
hypothesis that I'm looking for the data and the data doesn't lie, the data is science. And I just
base a lot of any pivoting that I've done based on data. And I feel like I'm a capitalistic scientist
and my ultimate dream with business and my practice as a doctor are to marry the principles of
business with the principles of good positive health. I think it's possible and I don't think I'm there
yet. But I do think that the two forces can be aligned for good.

TRAVIS: Oh, without a doubt. And so, basically, I agree with you that you need to base your
actions on the empirical, but you need to have a series of metrics within your business that
you're measuring. Does this mean that you're AB testing the things that you're doing? Do you go
that far?
DR. DYER: Yes.
TRAVIS: You do?
DR. DYER: Yeah.
TRAVIS: And so, what type of A/B testing, are you A/B testing landing pages, or apps, or things
like that?
DR. DYER: Mostly just the functionality of the app is what kind of beta testing that we've been
doing. And here in Columbus where we have a large college base population I use that often.
TRAVIS: You cut out. Say that again.
DR. DYER: I use the benefit locally of having a large college base population to test things out.
TRAVIS: So do you have them do the test or do you perform the test on them?
DR. DYER: I have them do the test.
TRAVIS: Oh, okay.
DR. DYER: Yeah, no.
TRAVIS: Yeah, alright, this make sense. So you're using the resources of the college there. It's
worked for them, they're learning, and you're getting some results.
DR. DYER: Yeah.
TRAVIS: So is the innovation that you talked about early on with the texting, and then evolving
to the app, is that what you felt like catapulted you into the spotlight and gave you a platform to
speak on so many different places. And did you use that as a platform to build your business
on?
DR. DYER: The answer is absolutely yes. It is just a perfect storm of events that happened that
I really just thought I was solving a simple problem. But the universalness and the just
THE ENTREPRENEUR’S RADIO SHOW
Conversations with Self-made Millionaires and High-level Entrepreneurs that Grow Your Business
Copyright © 2012, 2013 The Entrepreneur’s Radio Show Page 9 of 13
invitingness of the mobile phone, the Smartphone is really quite magical. And we all feel pretty
personal about our mobile phone. And I think there's just some magic to it that is what has
propelled this. And just the possibilities are really bright for healthcare but it hasn't quite shown
up in the evidence yet that it makes as big of an impact as we think that it will. So there's kind of
a lot of hype and a lot of excitement. And that's where it is right now. But I think you just look at
patients particularly kids and teenagers and they are never without their phone. And I have to
say I'm one of those people too.
TRAVIS: Me too.
DR. DYER: I freak out if I lose my phone, and it's just a natural thing that you would think that
having that technology right with you is an absolute opportunity to make behavior change and
good health a possibility. We just have to figure out the best way to do it.
TRAVIS: Oh, without a doubt. I completely agree. I got my phone near me right now.
DR. DYER: Yeah, I do too.
TRAVIS: I think everybody has been conditioned to take their phone with them to bathroom
even. That sounds terrible but--
DR. DYER: ...That the phone and social media has been a big part of my success and journey.
And I started out in social media as a project for my public health degree for health literacy. And
I just joined whenever I learned about Twitter through a friend of mine that is also big in social
media. His name is Bryan Vartabedian or doctor_v on Twitter. And his blog post are actually on
the NIH library site. They've been categorized. And as a journalism major I've been blogging,
and it's just a natural extension for me that I pontificate about what's going on. I started my
name, EndoGoddess as just cheeky. And my patient gave me that name because I called her a
pink lady because she likes to wear pink and sparkly and she calls me her endo, her
endocrinologist and an endo goddess because I like to wear lots of bling and just cute fashion.
So I just called myself EndoGoddess, and it was a platform, Twitter, that this was really easy for
me to use because of my mobile phone. So right when I signed up I was killing time at the
airport in Santa Fe because I've gone to a conference about health literacy and that's where I
learned about Twitter. So I was sitting at the airport killing time and I got on Twitter and said,
"This woman sitting next to me looks like she has a goiter. I wonder if I should tell her." And then
I got a lot of responses from random people say "Tell her" and some people said "No, don't tell
her, you're not her doctor." It's just a naturally fun platform I think. And I've used hashtags in
moderated conversations to really learn a lot. And I really tend to know a lot of the medical
headlines, any headlines so far ahead of some of my colleagues that aren't on social media that
it's kind of creepy sometimes. Because I just know all of the breaking research so fast. But I've
the most well read that I've ever been because of social media.

TRAVIS: Now, many of our listeners are not in the medical field so explain what endocrinologist
is.
DR. DYER: So I'm the only doctor in my family and I'm from Texas and I don't have an accent
but my parents do. So they would say, "What's an endocrinologist?" But what it is, is it's a field
of hormones. And I explain to them that it's pretty much anything that's on the TLC channel, so
it's too big, too small, too fat, too skinny, too tall. And if a child is born as a boy or a girl, or if you
can't tell if they're a boy or a girl then I'm who you call because it's a hormone problem. And
then the other half that I do is diabetes. Because insulin is a hormone.
TRAVIS: Right. Okay, that's a really interesting way of explaining it, I've never thought of it that
way. Looking back, what would you have done differently to expedite your success? If anything.
DR. DYER: I guess I wish that I was just richer because I could fund more things on my own. It's
hard to get money, it's the hardest thing I feel like. Because I'm really far ahead as far as
healthcare and technology, and I don't think that the funding is up to the speed that consumers
are at. And I just wish I were just naturally rich and I just paid for anything I want to do.
Everybody wants that.
TRAVIS: Yeah, you need to hone your--
DR. DYER: That's the main thing that I wish.
TRAVIS: Yeah, you need to hone your skills at getting sponsors, right?
DR. DYER: Yeah. And I feel more comfortable entering competitions to win money and I have
won. But it is hard for me to ask for money. And I'm getting better at it but it is hard.
TRAVIS: Well, let me ask you, what book or program made an impact on you related to
business that you would recommend, and why would you recommend it?
DR. DYER: Well, I love Julia Child. Reading her biography really inspired me because she's one
of a kind. And I feel like what I'm doing, there isn't really a role model that I can look to that has
gone this path before. But I think that that's the same for Julia Child. There wasn't anyone like
her and really hasn't ever been since. And I just found that the biography by Bob Spitz to be so
inspiring to just follow your passion. So I don't think she knew that she was going to be a TV
star but she just followed her passion for cooking and what she was good at. So I think that
that's the way my path is unfolding. And another one of my favorite books is by Peter
Shankman, Nice Companies Finish First. And I feel like that's really helped give me confidence
that I can do things in a classy and not quite as confrontational way.

TRAVIS: I like that. What's one of your favorite tools or pieces of technology that you've recently
discovered, if any, that you'd recommend to other business owners and why?
DR. DYER: I wouldn't say it's a recent discovery but social media has really just been my
biggest tool for collaboration, biggest tool for discovery, just biggest benefit. And in ways that I
haven't even been able to quantify. But it's a knowledge base, and it's also just a great platform
for collaboration. And because of the mobile phone, when you're able to access it in random
times, like when you're waiting in the airport, I think that it's just fun and it's been probably my
best tool.
TRAVIS: Yeah, I agree with you. I think it's evolved over the last 5 years from an incredible,
social kind of waste of time. And it still can be a gigantic time suck, but used properly it really
can magnify what you're doing.
DR. DYER: I totally agree.
TRAVIS: Yeah. What famous quote would best summarize your belief, and it doesn't have to be
famous, but what quote would best summarize your belief or attitude in business?
DR. DYER: I think my favorite quote is by Audrey Hepburn, "Nothing is impossible. In fact, the
word itself says I'm possible." So I would say that, that would be my number one quote and
reflection. I'm a very optimistic person and I do think that powerful things can happen when
someone puts their mind and persistence to achieving a goal.
TRAVIS: I think you're a living example of that because you've accomplished quite a few things
at a relatively young age.
DR. DYER: Well, thank you.
TRAVIS: Yeah, you're welcome.
DR. DYER: Life's a journey, I intend to keep having fun at it.
TRAVIS: Well, so from an outside perspective, what I really like about you and what you're
doing is I like the fact that you're bold and brave enough to blaze new trails.
DR. DYER: Well, thank you.
TRAVIS: And I think that, that is where quantum improvements in health and so many things
that are important in our life related to health, or I think that's where the change is going to come
from, so I applaud you for that.

DR. DYER: Well, thank you. It's worth it. Whenever you see the kids' faces and get a hug for
inspiring them to be their healthiest and happiest, I literally have the best job in the world.
TRAVIS: Good stuff. Thanks for sharing your business details. How do people connect with
you?
DR. DYER: Really, the easiest way to find me is on Twitter at @EndoGoddess. I do have a
blog, @endogoddessblogspot.com. And you can check out my app [email protected].
And feel free to shoot me an email at [email protected].
TRAVIS: And the Endogoal is for people with diabetes, correct?
DR. DYER: Yes, for insulin-dependent diabetes.
TRAVIS: Okay, great. So it's a fun way to help you stay on top of dealing with taking your
medicine, right?
DR. DYER: Exactly, yup.

We know that finding someone that you can trust online today is hard and that so many “so
called gurus” are self-‐appointed and have never really even done what they teach you to
do. That’s exactly why we created the Double Your Profits Business Accelerator. This is an
exclusive offer for our fans at a fraction of its normal cost.
Here's what to expect. We'll Schedule a 'One on One' private session, where we'll take the time
to dive deep into your business and tell you what is missing, so that you can have your best
year ever!
We'll do this by performing a S.W.O.T. Analysis. This tells us your Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities and Threats within your business.
This will be an eye opener for YOU, for several reasons, however some of the most common
reasons are.
As the 'Business Owner' it’s difficult to see the big picture of your own business because you’re
in the middle of a daily management.
And you are too emotionally involved to completely impartial.
This is a common problem for EVERY business owner. It doesn’t matter if you are a one-man
army, or an army of 150, the problem is still the same.
