If you've ever walked away from a mastermind, a coaching call, or a well-meaning conversation with a colleague feeling more confused than when you started — this episode is going to name something you've probably been living with for a long time. It's not that there's too little advice out there. It's that most of us have never stopped to ask whether the advice we're taking is actually right for us, our business, and where we are right now.My guest today is Sandra Booker, founder of Sidekick COO and creator of Scale Society, a fractional COO who works with established online service providers to find the single constraint costing them the most time and money — and then designs the systems and team structures to solve it. Sandra is one of the most well-respected operators in the online business world, and this conversation is exactly as good as I knew it would be.What Sandra and I get into goes way beyond operations and systems. We talk about how to know when you actually need to hire someone versus when you need a better process, the art of pausing before reacting when urgency sets in, and Sandra's concept of "curating your room" — being intentional about whose voices you let influence your decisions, and why the most impressive person in the room isn't always the right one to listen to. Sandra also shares a super cool AI tool that she built and has been using in her own business that I cannot wait for you to hear about — and that I think is going to change how a lot of you are using AI.In this episode we talk about:Why the "self-made" entrepreneur is a myth — and what the business owners who actually build something have in common that nobody talks aboutHow to tell the difference between needing a team member, needing a system, or needing to pause and look at what's already in your businessThe real cost of making decisions from fear, urgency, or comparison — and what to do insteadSandra's concept of curating your room — why your business bestie might be exactly the wrong person to consult when you have a hard decision to makeThe AI tool Sandra built called “The Advisory Board” — and how you can do the same for yourselfWhy the right move in a revenue dip is almost always to look inside your existing business first — and what to look forHow to evaluate advice you're hearing — whether it's from a podcast, a mastermind, or someone making big revenue claims onlineYour next best business decision is probably not going to come from someone else's strategy. It's going to come from getting clearer on what's actually happening inside your own business — and this episode is going to help you do that!Design the room your decisions deserve with Sandra's AI Boardroom Blueprint.
CMS continues to pull on the levers it has at its disposal to rein in national healthcare spend, including rulemaking around Medicare Advantage. In April, CMS announced the final rate for MA plans for CY2027, after a controversial proposed rule generated animated pushback — and a fair bit of panic — among payers. In this episode, host Abby Burns speaks with Alex Balmes, Vice President of Actuarial Services at Optum, to unpack what did — and didn't — end up in the final rate announcement, and what that signals for the future of the Medicare Advantage program. Together, they explore the components of the final rate that are most important for payers and providers to pay attention to, respectively, and why. Also in the 2027 final announcement, but not discussed in this episode: four measures are being added or updated in Star ratings calculations (Colorectal Cancer Screening; Care for Older Adults – Functional Status Assessment; Concurrent Use of Opioids and Benzodiazepines (COB); Polypharmacy: Use of Multiple Anticholinergic Medications in Older Adults (Poly-ACH)) and three are being removed (Care for Older Adults – Pain Assessment, Medication Reconciliation Post-Discharge, Medication Therapy Management (MTM) Program Completion Rate for Comprehensive Medication Review (CMR)) We're here to help: Read the 2027 CMS Announcement | 2027 | CMS Episode | 286: A Medicare Advantage reset — and what comes next Ready-to-Use Slides | Medicare Advantage market outlook Stay informed | Healthcare policy updates Tool | Policy Scenario Impact Calculator Connect with an Optum Advisory expert | Optum Learn more about Advisory Board's 2026 summit series.

IXICO PLC (LSE:IXI, OTC:PHYOF, FRA:PYPB) chief scientific and medical officer Robin Wolz tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that three internationally recognised specialists have joined the company's Scientific Advisory Board — two in Alzheimer's disease and one in Parkinson's — as the company deepens its position in neurodegenerative disease research. A new collaboration with the Paris Brain Institute will focus on next-generation MRI biomarkers for Parkinson's, while two IXICO scientists have been invited to contribute to the Michael J. Fox Foundation's MRI Advisory Committee. Wolz is direct about why the appointments matter: "Having them in our advisory board helps ensure that the biomarkers and approaches we're developing remain scientifically rigorous, clinically relevant and most importantly, aligned with the needs of drug developers." With Alzheimer's and Parkinson's drug pipelines expanding rapidly, demand for reliable imaging biomarkers to support clinical trials has never been higher. Watch the full interview to learn how IXICO is expanding its scientific ecosystem and supporting the development of next-generation treatments for neurodegenerative diseases.

Maternity care touches nearly every corner of the U.S. health system. About 25% of all hospitalizations involve a mother or newborn, and maternity spending accounts for roughly 0.8% of U.S. GDP — making it one of the most economically significant service lines in health care. Against that backdrop, a little noticed decision to unbundle maternity billing codes represents a generational shift in how pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum care are paid for. In this episode of Radio Advisory, host Rae Woods sits down with Neel Shah, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Maven Clinic, to break down what the new maternity billing codes mean for providers, health plans, and patients. Together, they explore why the old bundle broke down, how unbundling could reshape care delivery, and what health leaders should be doing now as 2027 approaches.

Health care leaders are navigating one of the most volatile policy environments in decades. The next major reform fight hasn't arrived yet — but in its place, a steady wave of rulemaking, regulatory shifts, and enforcement actions is driving real change. Policies are evolving faster, reversing more often, and creating a level of uncertainty that makes even the most seasoned strategists question what to act on, what to wait out, and what to ignore. This moment of policy whiplash isn't theoretical — it's reshaping care delivery models, workforce strategy, and long term investment decisions across the industry. In this live episode, recorded at Advisory Board's Washington, D.C. Summit on May 4, 2026, host Rae Woods sits down with Julie Rovner — chief Washington correspondent at KFF Health News and host of the What the Health? podcast — to make sense of this “in between” moment of health policy. Drawing on four decades of reporting across multiple administrations and reform cycles, Julie helps leaders separate meaningful signals from noise, understand where real policy power sits today, and anticipate what could define the next era of health reform.

**Join the AI Agent Bootcamp here: https://www.inventium.ai/learnvirtually-agents** You sit down to research something for work, open a few tabs, type a vague query into AI, and get back something that feels… fine. Technically an answer. Not quite useful. Meanwhile, that report you've been working on probably needs another set of eyes, but getting real feedback takes time you don't have, so you send it anyway and hope for the best. There's a better way. In this How I AI episode, Neo and I walk through three agents we think every knowledge worker genuinely needs, including two we're giving away for free. How I AI, a special series within How I Work where Neo and I explore how high performers are using AI at work to boost productivity, make better decisions and reduce overwhelm. What you'll learn in this episode: Why a basic AI research query often isn't enough, and what to do instead What a critical thinking agent actually checks for, and when it earns its place What a cross-functional advisory board agent is, and who it's built for How long it really takes to build agents that work reliably Practical AI tools for productivity and focus Real-world AI workflows used by high performers How to use AI at work without burning out Smart shortcuts for managing time and mental load Connect with Neo Aplin on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/neoaplin/) and via inventium.ai (https://inventium.ai), where he leads Inventium's AI training and upskilling work with organisations and teams.

He served as a member of the Advisory Board to the School of Design & Environment at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Temasek Polytechnic School of Design, and a member of the Design Education Review Committee, Singapore (DERC). He was the former Chairman of the School Advisory Board of Cedar Girls' Secondary School, and Vice-Chairman of the Potong-Pasir CC Management Committee. Simon graduated with a Master's Degree in Design from the University of New South Wales, Australia, and a Master of Business Administration from the University of South Australia. SHOW INTRO: Welcome to Episode 88! of the NXTLVL Experience Design podcast and my conversation with Simon Ong the Deputy Chairman & Co-founder of Kingsmen Creatives in Singapore.. * * * * As we come to a different phase of our professional life you get to thinking back over the years that you invested in growing something that it was hard but it was also fun it was challenging and it was sometimes desperate sometimes you felt elation sometimes you worried about how we're going to pay the next bill there's a cycle of experience in 50 years of growing a company like that is worth reflecting on and saying ‘you know we have had big wins and we've made mistakes we've learned a lot about ourselves and how to grow a business - how to remain relevant. I think the relevancy issue means having a sense of empathy tapping into the zeitgeist around you and saying i need to relate to that because if i don't I'll become irrelevant and i can't i can't communicate The challenge is put to new leaders and old to listen, be introspective, be flexible to adjust to the sometimes overwhelming sea of change between now and next. You hopefully get better at saying both been there done that and been there not doing that anymore period. When early in my retail design career I had, I guess I would call her a mentor, Jackie Glanz the president of a store fixture manufacturing company called MG Concepts and I recall her drilling into me some core lessons about business and marketing, namely respond to the e-mail or phone call - immediately don't wait because everybody's time is valuable not just yours and it's a sign of respect of the other individual to get back to them right away never burn a bridge especially in the context of a retail community that once you reach a certain level everybody knows everybody else and word travels fast. Maintain your industry friendships even when they are halfway around the world. Because you just never know when you're going to come into a situation where reaching out will make the difference between growth and stagnation, or success and failure or a door opening up or door being closed. It could be with some of those relationships that you never actually do business with them with the mutual support and the benefit of connection extends beyond a project or profit in the physical sense but sometimes is more valuable in a sense of community already perhaps spiritual way the people along your path make a difference. I have often shared with people that I certainly like working on projects but in the end it's relationships that I value most. I'm sure all of us have worked on what we would presume to be great projects but the relationship chemistry just didn't work and it made what was presumed to be wonderful more woeful. And the reverse… where projects were of average scope or prestige and ended up being prized because of the people there was a sense of community, a shared responsibility, a willingness to extend beyond what was asked for and to bring something new to the world even though it wouldn't end up winning a prize in design competition or being on the cover of a trade publication. You stayed doing one thing long enough and you actively engage in the community of your profession working with other leaders to define ideas or policies or grow an emerging cohort of young designers and architects into roles you also begin to have in a certain sense your own brand which is very much about what you believe in not necessarily what the things you bring into the world look like and certainly not a logo. Beyond the image is the intention, the ideological orientations that drive what you do every day that ultimately give meaning to the things that you focus your time on and that you hope other people align with. Having a point of view that drives your decision-making matters. And for the individual, as well as large international mega brands, it is important that what you do and what you say are aligned. When these two things are at odds, it's not hard to see the disconnect, and trust and credibility are critical foundational elements to long term relationships Whether those relationships are personal between you and your work colleagues or between you and your clients. In a crowded marketplace where many professional firms offer the same services and you might say are equally as good at providing them what is the differentiating factor between a client choosing you over the next guy? Sometimes, it's simply a feeling a feeling about how the relationship might progress through the phases of a project is the best way to know if the project will be successful... And this is where we bring in my guest on this episode Simon Ong… Simon Ong is the Deputy Chairman & Co-founder of Kingsmen Creatives in Singapore He oversees the strategic planning and development, as well as the creative and brand standards, of Kingsmen, a leading communication design and production group with 18 offices spanning the Asia Pacific region and North America.

After a decidedly difficult few years in the world of nursing, things have seemingly gotten better — at least, on paper. And that's reflective of a lot of hard work on the part of nursing leaders. But when we look at how long nurses plan to stay in the profession, we see a different story taking shape. In this episode of Radio Advisory, host Abby Burns is joined by Advisory Board nursing expert Ali Knight and Optum expert Sherilynn Quist. Together, they unpack what today's workforce data is really telling us and what it misses, the root causes driving nurses' discontent, and why strengthening the nursing workforce can't be left to nurse leaders alone.

Leadership can look polished from the outside, but behind the meetings, deadlines, family responsibilities and endless expectations, many people are running on empty. The pressure to keep showing up, keep performing and keep holding everything together has become so normalised that burnout often arrives long before anyone realises they need help. This week, on "Good Things with Brent Lindeque", I sat down with Anja van Beek for a deeply honest and incredibly insightful chat about stress, burnout, leadership and learning how to refill your own cup before there is nothing left to give. And while Anja has spent more than three decades working with executives, organisations and leaders around the world, this conversation is not only for people in boardrooms. It is for parents, partners, caregivers, entrepreneurs and anyone trying to navigate the weight of modern life. Anja is a Talent and Culture Strategist, Executive Coach and founder of the WholeLeader Collective, known for helping shape human-centred leadership and high-performance cultures in complex environments. Her work focuses on integrating "Head, Heart and Hands", helping leaders think strategically, lead with emotional intelligence and act with clarity and consistency. She has advised leaders across industries and continents, contributed to award-winning workplace cultures, appeared on eNCA and 702's World of Work segment, and serves on both the Harvard Business Review Advisory Council and the HR.com Advisory Board. We unpack the reality of trying to “hold it all together”, how stress manifests physically and emotionally, why burnout is becoming more common, and what practical steps people can take to better cope with the pressure. Anja shares thoughtful insights on what sustainable leadership actually looks like and why showing up for yourself matters just as much as showing up for everyone else. By the end of the conversation, you will walk away lighter... I certainly did. And a little more aware that it is possible to lead with humanity, to care for yourself without guilt and to build a life that feels fuller instead of constantly depleted.
Across the industry, leaders are talking about a “battle of the bots”—with payers and providers racing to deploy AI across the revenue cycle. But that narrative may be more hype than reality. In this episode, Rae Woods is joined by Advisory Board experts Isis Monteiro and Elysia Culver to separate fact from fiction. They break down where AI is actually delivering value today—and why it's showing up as efficiency gains and cost avoidance, not revenue growth. And they make the case for a different approach: stop chasing AI for its own sake, and start focusing on margin protection, operational discipline, and the problems that actually need solving.

Two hypermobile dancers. Similar bodies, similar training. One builds a 20-year career. The other is in chronic pain by 16. What's the difference? That's the question Dr. Linda Bluestein is back to answer in Episode 134. A physician specializing in hypermobility and connective tissue disorders, Dr. Bluestein returns for her annual May conversation during EDS and Hypermobility Awareness Month, and this one goes somewhere we haven't gone before. Loren and Dr. Bluestein dig into what actually separates long-term outcomes for hypermobile dancers and AcroDancers, what yellow-light warning signs teachers are misreading as normal, why proprioception breaks down in hypermobile students and what you can do about it in a regular class setting, and how to help students shift their relationship with pain without creating fear or anxiety around movement. She also shares what new research is telling us about connective tissue disorders, why instability and hypermobility are not the same thing, and the one thing she wants every acro and dance teacher to do differently starting this week.

After more than a decade of effort, healthcare still struggles with the same consumer pain points: affordability, access, and trust. Despite investments in price transparency, virtual care, and navigation tools, the patient experience remains fragmented, leaving leaders to wonder whether healthcare consumerism ever truly delivered on its promise.

Send us Fan MailAmerican employers now spend over $25,000 a year to cover a single family, and chronic disease is driving the system toward collapse. Yet medicine is still built around a doctor's office visit every three to four months.Dr. Robert Pearl, former CEO of the Permanente Medical Group, Stanford professor, and author of ChatGPT MD, joins host David E. Williams to make the case that generative AI is the only tool that can shift medicine from episodic to continuous care, and why without it, the chronic disease crisis will break American healthcare entirely.
Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Dan Spector, partner at Hanson Bridgett, an Am Law 200 California-based law firm and the first law firm recognized as a certified B Corp. Dan is a trial lawyer, mediator, and arbitrator whose practice focuses on trust, probate and complex civil cases involving families. He has been named in multiple years as a Super Lawyer by his peers for Northern California in the area of Trust and Estate Litigation and a statewide mediation and private neutral panelist for Judicate West, a professional neutral company with offices throughout California. Dan is a member of the California Lawyer's Association's (CLA) Trust and Estates Section and Litigation Section, as well as the Sacramento County Bar Association's Probate, Trust and Estate Planning Section. He has recently been selected to serve on the Executive Committee for CLA's Trust and Estate Section (TEXCOM), for which he participates in various subcommittees, including the Litigation, Incapacity and Legislation subcommittees. He also serves as a Judge Pro-Tem in the Sacramento Superior Court and has been named as an expert witness on issues relating to trust, probate, and litigation matters. Dan has lectured at U.C. Davis before the Sacramento County Bar Association, CCLSA and the California Society of Certified Public Accountants on the topics of civil litigation and trust and probate litigation. He has served on numerous non-profit boards throughout Sacramento, including as Chair of the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Sacramento, board member of the San Juan Unified School District Superintendent's Advisory Board, board member of the St. Ignatius School Advisory Board, board member of the Anthony M. Kennedy Learning Center, and Chairman of the Board of Del Paso Country Club. Dan served as General Chairman of the 2015 United States Senior Open Golf Championship, the single largest sporting event in Sacramento's history. Dan and his firm Hanson Bridgett are values advisor members of FOX, and we are thrilled to have their expertise within our membership community. We've talked about conflict on this podcast before, but today we'll learn more about Dan's area of expertise – "active conflict". Dan explains for our listeners how active conflict is defined and how it is manifested in both pre-litigation and litigation situations. Families are complex, and family dynamics and the emotional undercurrents that run through the relationships among family members present a unique challenge for both clients and professionals in our field. Dan shares his experience on how families get to the active conflict stage, and he describes the common pathways and the ways family members and their family offices can recognize them. In many cases, significant changes – and resulting conflicts – within a family are triggered by the death of a key family principal. So, one practical consideration is to distinguish between pre-mortem and post-mortem conflict situations. Dan talks about the main differences between family conflicts that take place before vs. after a major death in the family. Active conflict can be very painful for families. Dan provides an outline of the options available to families for managing and resolving active conflict, including the different professional channels and techniques they can resort to. Don't miss this illuminating conversation with a leading expert and practitioner in the field of family conflict management and resolution.

We just wrapped up our 47th round of Paper Camp a few weeks ago, and I am still riding high from working with this cohort. It's an intense four weeks, for me, for our coaches, for our students. But so much progress happens in a short amount of time. I love hearing about their light bulb moments, their clarity, answering their questions, and there's so much forward momentum that comes. One thing that is really important to me inside of Paper Camp is bringing in a variety of voices because there is no one singular way to build a business right? I want our students to hear directly from people who are doing this work in different ways. During our weekly coaching calls, they get to learn from shop owners, wholesalers, sales consultants, and other experts that are in the wholesale field. People who are helping to develop and are currently utilizing relevant new sales and marketing strategies, which is what we focus on in Paper Camp: wholesale sales and marketing strategies. Today on the podcast, I wanted to share a small piece of this with you. This episode is an excerpt from our coaching call in Paper Camp that was centered on exhibiting at trade shows. I asked Paper Camp alums Karen Sawyer-Meehan of Pier Six Press and Alyson O'Connor of Rust Belt Love to come and share their experiences with the class. Both are members of my Advisory Board mastermind, and between the two of them, they have done dozens of wholesale trade shows, including several this past winter. They're sharing what's working, what they experienced at the winter shows, and sharing a lot of other insight. In this snippet, you're going to hear them talk about the shows that they've participated in, how they knew they were ready to exhibit, and how they decide which trade shows are worth the investment. We know these things cost a lot of time, money and energy and we want to make sure if you are going to say yes to a show that you're choosing the right ones for you. Today's episode is brought to you by our Paper Camp program. Paper Camp is our wholesale coaching program where we teach you everything you need to know to build strong wholesale foundations.

Academic medical centers (AMCs) sit at the heart of U.S. healthcare, driving scientific discovery, providing crucial clinical care, and training the next generation of clinicians.

In this episode, host Abby Burns invites Advisory Board expert Wes Campbell to provide an update on how AMCs are doing amidst the current climate, unpack how and why policy shifts hit AMCs differently than their non-academic peers, and discuss what it will take for AMCs to adapt.

Employer-sponsored insurance is reaching a tipping point. What was once a predictable 2–4% annual increase in employer health spending has given way to double digit growth, driven by surging drug costs, rising utilization across all age groups, and escalating provider rates. For many employers—especially smaller organizations with less margin for error—absorbing these costs is no longer viable. As economic conditions shift and the labor market cools, the balance of power between employers and employees is changing, opening the door to more aggressive cost-control strategies. In this episode, host Rachel (Rae) Woods is joined by Advisory Board expert Sally Kim to unpack what's behind the spike in employer health costs—and what employers are doing about it. They walk through the full “menu” of options now on the table, from benefit redesign and navigation tools to network strategy, direct contracting, and alternative funding models. The conversation explores what these moves mean for health plans and providers competing for commercial lives—and why understanding employer behavior is no longer optional.

For life sciences companies, access and adoption of clinical products is no longer as simple as demonstrating strong outcomes at a fair price. As payers and providers face mounting financial pressure and operational complexity, they are scrutinizing their partners more closely — expecting clearer evidence, more relevant value narratives, and support that reflects real world constraints. In this episode, host Rachel (Rae) Woods sits down with Advisory Board experts Gina Lohr and Nick Hula to unpack how med tech and pharma companies should adapt their product and partnership strategies. Together, they explore why a single value story no longer works — and how life sciences organizations can better align their products, evidence, and engagement strategies to meet the rising expectations of payers, health systems, ambulatory leaders, clinicians, and patients.

As health systems pursue growth beyond traditional avenues, the role of the strategic planner is becoming increasingly complex. High level directional data is no longer enough — achieving meaningful, differentiated growth now requires leveraging granular, sophisticated data to inform investment decisions. In this episode, host Rachel Woods sits down with Advisory Board experts Sebastian Beckman and Ellie Wiles to explore how health systems can rethink strategic planning for 2026 and beyond. Together, they unpack what it should actually look like to democratize data, why data governance matters just as much as data access, and how service line leaders can partner with planners to make faster, more precise, margin savvy decisions.

How did health systems perform in 2025, and which strategic growth priorities are top-of-mind for 2026? Health systems have entered the year with both momentum from buoyed volumes, and mounting pressure as those volumes don't necessarily translate to healthy margin. This week, host Abby Burns sits down with Advisory Board expert Marisa Nives and Optum consulting expert Alex Kist to unpack results from Advisory Board's annual Strategic Planner Survey. They explore how health systems are—and aren't—running at growth, and what separates the systems that are able to turn volumes and revenue into margin, from those that aren't. Be sure to catch next week's episode, when Advisory Board experts discuss the data that planners need (and often lack) to make these strategic decisions with confidence in 2026.
