On this episode of Ditch the Lab Coat, Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Dr. Georg Haymerle—once a top head and neck surgeon in Europe and Australia, now a dedicated advocate for culture change in medicine. Georg's journey is anything but typical: after reaching the pinnacle of surgical mastery, he made the radical decision to walk away—not because of burnout or failure, but to confront the invisible crisis unraveling healthcare teams from within.Join us as we dive into Dr. Haymerle's powerful story: from the grueling demands of 14-hour cancer surgeries and the accidental discovery of high-functioning, trust-based teams, to the moment when his own department's spirit collapsed under uncertainty. We'll explore why human factors like psychological safety and simple acts of gratitude can impact patient outcomes just as much as surgical skill. Dr. Haymerle takes us inside the often-overlooked world of healthcare team dynamics, revealing why he left the operating room behind to fix something even more delicate than anatomy: the fractured culture that shapes how care is delivered.If you've ever wondered whether culture truly matters in medicine—or how speaking up, vulnerability, and a heartfelt “thank you” might just save a life—this episode will stay with you long after you listen. Tune in for a heartfelt, evidence-based conversation about what really keeps healthcare teams—and their patients—thriving.Episode Highlights1. Team Spirit Transforms Outcomes — Cohesive, trusting teams dramatically improve surgical efficiency and patient safety, sometimes reducing surgery times by hours.2. Culture Changes Everything — Good workplace culture is just as critical as skill—loss of hope or toxic environments erode performance and morale.3. Technical Skill Isn't Enough — High technical mastery won't guarantee success if team dynamics and relationships are neglected or dysfunctional.4. Vulnerability Builds Excellence — When team members can safely show weaknesses and ask for help, everyone benefits, including patient outcomes.5. Money Isn't the Motivator — Financial rewards alone don't solve morale or performance issues; intrinsic motivators and appreciation matter more.6. Gratitude Is Powerful Medicine — Simple, genuine thank-yous are rare but transformative, fueling motivation, engagement, and mutual respect in healthcare teams.7. Speaking Up Saves Lives — Creating environments where all voices are heard—regardless of hierarchy—prevents errors and fosters innovation.8. Change Requires Leadership Buy-In — Cultural shifts succeed only when leaders acknowledge problems and model openness to feedback and improvement.9. Early Intervention Matters — Recognizing “the spiral” of team dysfunction early and addressing it promptly can prevent long-term damage and staff turnover.10. Healthcare Must Evolve — Emphasizing the human side of medicine—connection, gratitude, honest conversation—represents the future of safe, effective healthcare.Episode Timestamps03:58 — Career Shift in Healthcare Path06:41 — From Timid to Skilled Surgeon10:12 — Human Factors Impact Medical Outcomes14:33 — Creating a High-Performing Team19:10 — Building Trust for Departmental Progress22:37 — Surgical Trainee Silence Dilemma23:26 — Breaking Hierarchies: Encouraging Open Dialogue26:56 — Healthcare Organizations' Capacity for Change32:49 — Austrian Healthcare's Resistance to Change34:26 — Revolutionizing Healthcare Through Change37:54 — Targeting Female Leaders in HealthcareDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Have you ever asked yourself: Do I create a safe, judgment-free environment where my kids can come to me with their awkward questions? Am I making time for one-on-one connection with my kids, so these tough conversations can happen more naturally? What steps am I taking to protect my kids from online exposure, and is there more I could be doing? Navigating “the talk” about sex and sexuality is a daunting task for dads everywhere — and it never seems to get less awkward. Today, Larry sits down with renowned author and communicator Jim Burns to break down how dads can lead the way in guiding their kids through conversations about sex, porn, and growing up in a digital world. Larry and Jim dive deep into the realities of "the talk"—why it never quite stops feeling awkward, and why that awkwardness can actually be a gateway to genuine connection with our kids. They explore why our own discomfort shouldn't keep us from being the voices our children trust to learn about relationships, intimacy, and sexual integrity—especially when the internet and social media are more than willing to fill in any gaps we leave. You'll hear practical strategies for navigating these conversations, including how to replace a single, intimidating “talk” with hundreds of approachable one-minute chats, ways to demystify topics like pornography and online safety, and tips for tailoring discussions to your child's unique personality. If you want to raise confident kids who learn about sex and relationships from you—and not from TikTok or YouTube—this episode is packed with clarity, courage, and actionable advice to help you step up, again and again, in those crucial parenting moments. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital conversation, we dig into: Embracing Awkwardness: Jim Burns shares that awkward isn't the enemy—it's actually a doorway to true connection. If your head sweats or you stammer, congratulations, you're doing it right! From One “Talk” to 100 Conversations: The secret? Don't stress the big performance. Focus on hundreds of one-minute check-ins and question invites over time. Navigating Porn & Tech: In today's world, our kids' go-to source for sex education is often the internet. Jim breaks down how early and often these conversations need to happen—and why holding off on full-on smartphones can give your kids a real edge. What If You're Still Sorting Out Your Own Stuff: If you're struggling with sexual integrity or have a messy past, don't sit silently. Your honesty and process can become a powerful guide for your children. This episode reminds us that showing up with intention, compassion, and consistency is what really matters. Here's what research and observation highlight about parental involvement in sex education: Studies show that 70% of teens report accidentally or intentionally encountering online pornography,  Studies show that ongoing, bite-sized conversations are up to 50% more effective in retention and behavioral outcomes compared to single, formal discussions. Studies found that teens who receive sex education from their parents are 24% less likely to engage in risky sexual behavior compared to those who learn primarily from peers or media  https://thedadedge.com/537 thedadedge.com/bark  thedadedge.com/alliance  https://homeword.com/ @drjimburns @homewordcenter  

In this solo episode of the Free Outside Show, I dive into something I've been thinking about (and living through) for a while—the difference between pro runners and influencers in the trail running world. Who actually drives the sport forward? Who sells the shoes? And where do we go from here?I break down how pros validate performance and products, while influencers excel at storytelling and getting people off the couch. I explore why brands struggle to invest in athlete content and what we need to do better—like athlete-influencer integration, content allowances in contracts, and actually showing the personalities behind the podiums.This episode has hot takes, real examples (no brand shade, I swear), and maybe even a solution to the future of sponsorships in outdoor sports.

Today's guest is Major Donald Vandergriff (U.S. Army retired), a distinguished military thinker, educator, and reform advocate with over two decades of service across the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and National Guard. As Director of Adaptive Leadership Training at Nemertes, and the author of multiple influential works, he brings a blend of operational experience and intellectual rigour. In this episode, I speak with Don about his edited volume Mission Command: The Who, What, Where, When and Why. What I really enjoyed about Don's book, and why it was a great fit for Hypervelocity, was how his and the other essays in it delved into the philosophical underpinnings of mission command and current U.S military culture. We tackle the key questions: How did the Prussian's defeat at the hands of Napolean lead Helmuth von Moltke to develop the philosophy of Auftragstaktik - or Mission Command? Why is Mission Command a cultural philosophy and not a social technology? How does the influence of Descartes mean that U.S. Army culture is French? Should U.S. Army culture be less Jominian and more Clausewitzian? Can Weber's theorizing on bureaucracy be used to explain current U.S. Army culture?Does the vast amount of data collected by situational awareness technology weaken mission command by encouraging excessive micromanagement of troops?Chapters00:00 Introduction to Major Donald Vandergriff01:53 The Origins of Mission Command14:38 Moltke's Leadership and the Evolution of Mission Command23:24 Mission Command as a Cultural Philosophy29:20 Challenges in Implementing Mission Command30:19 Empowering Decision-Making in Military Training31:49 The Influence of French Military Philosophy39:49 Cultural Shifts: Clausewitz vs. Jomini43:00 Bureaucracy and Its Impact on Military Culture46:21 Technology's Double-Edged Sword in Command51:00 Lessons from Historical Commanders: Rommel's Approach55:38 Building Trust for Effective Leadership

We're in the midst of summer and we know that power outages can happen more frequently during this season due to higher temperatures and an increased demand for electricity. A couple years ago we sat down with Ram Rajagopal, an expert in the future of electrical power. He shared a few ways our existing system of massive power plants is slowly but surely giving way to a much leaner, decentralized system of small-scale power generation. Ram refers to this as a move from an “infrastructure-centric” model to a “human-centric” grid — one that will be much smarter, more inclusive and better able to adapt to the needs of individual users. It's a topic that impacts all of us and we hope you'll tune in again for a refresher on how the electric grid works and how it's evolving.Have a question for Russ?

The level of Self-Trust you have will determine how you approach all aspects of life. If it's lacking, know that you can develop it; it's like a muscle. In the hustle and bustle of today's world, finding solace in self-trust is not just a nicety but a necessity. When navigating the challenges of being a parent, a leader, or simply trying to achieve personal goals, self-trust can enhance your decision-making capabilities. In addition, self-trust will help build overall mental resilience. Understanding Self-Trust Self-trust is often misunderstood or undervalued, a quiet yet powerful force that guides us through the maze of life's decisions. It's the foundation on which we build our capacity to make choices—even when we're plagued by uncertainty and doubt. It's not about being free of doubt but about learning to make decisions in its presence and having the confidence to follow through. Framework for Building Trust in Yourself Building self-trust doesn't happen overnight—it requires intentional action and a shift in mindset. At the heart of this transformation is a profound yet straightforward cycle: making decisions, following through, and having your own back when results come to fruition. 1. Decision-Making Each day, we make thousands of decisions without realizing it, yet we often focus on the difficult ones. Building self-trust involves recognizing that we're already capable decision-makers. By focusing on these everyday decisions, we begin to realize our strengths and the power within us, which propels us forward rather than holding us back. 2. Follow Through with Confidence Following through with our decisions is where we gain valuable insights about ourselves. This isn't about sticking rigidly to a decision. It's about learning from the consequences of our actions. Self-trust grows when we learn to trust our data, allowing ourselves the flexibility to adjust and improve rather than perceiving unplanned outcomes as failures. 3. Having Your Own Back Self-trust fundamentally involves being kind to ourselves in the face of outcomes that don't align with our expectations. Instead of self-criticism, we learn to evaluate the data derived from our experience. By celebrating our efforts and learning from the results, we foster a positive internal narrative that furthers our growth and resilience.   Read the full show notes and access all links.
