About Dr. Marcelo Hochman:Dr. Marcelo Hochman is a well-known speaker and double Board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon on a mission to build better medicine for patients and doctors, not just better business.  Recognized by CNN, WSJ, and USA Today, Dr. Hochman led the national charge on providing PPE for medical staff during Covid and is the president of Indedocs, an organization founded to help provide more options for patients and doctors and disrupt the controlling and limiting healthcare bureaucracy.  In this episode, Dean Newlund and Dr. Marcelo Hochman discuss:The challenges of leading a company, building a team, or enhancing your personal brand when dealing with injuries or illnessesThe benefits of independent healthcare practices for both care providers and patientsThe significance of physician autonomy in preventing burnout and the challenges faced by doctors working within large healthcare systemsThe importance of exposing medical students and residents to private practice to foster fulfilling medical careersThe financial challenges faced by hospitals and the goal to provide alternative healthcare options Key Takeaways:Independent physicians offer patients more personalized care, with better access, quality, and convenience compared to large hospital systems.Smaller, private practice outpatient facilities can provide more efficient and personalized care compared to hospital-run outpatient centers, which are often volume-driven.Eliminating non-compete agreements, revising certificate of need laws, and incentivizing charity care through tax credits for physicians could transform healthcare in rural states.Employment in system medicine often leads to frustration and burnout, while independent practice allows for autonomy and patient-focused care.Despite the trend of physicians becoming employed, there are still opportunities for independent practice, such as the repeal of certificate of need laws and the banning of non-compete clauses. "Patients prefer the ease of access, convenience, and continuity of care that independent practices provide.” — Dr. Marcelo Hochman Connect with Dr. Marcelo Hochman:  Website URL: https://drhochmanspeaks.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmarcelohochman/    See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel Alvarez Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

When I was working as a postdoctoral researcher studying wildlife using camera traps, I had the pleasure of working alongside Dr. Liz Kalies who was integral in modeling the results of our large-scale projects. Back then, we were both passionate young(er) scientists trying to figure out our role in conservation biology. While my path eventually led me here to science communication and career mentoring, Liz took her to a seemingly unexpected, but exciting path - she's now the lead renewable energy scientist for the North American region at The Nature Conservancy.Being a lead scientist at one of the world's top environmental organizations is no small feat, and given her background is in wildlife, we both didn't expect her to go into renewable energy. But as you'll find out in this interview, it all comes back to wildlife. Renewable energy is definitely a pro-environmental choice, but that doesn't mean it's without any impacts to wildlife. So how can we develop wind and solar power responsibly without disrupting vulnerable habitats and species? Liz is at the forefront of finding solutions for such challenges that balance the needs of clean energy with wildlife conservation. In this week's episode of the Fancy Scientist's podcast, Liz pulls back the curtain on what it's really like driving conservation strategies using solid science at an influential nonprofit. She also shares her real perspective on building a meaningful career in science, juggling her work while raising three kids, and how following her passion led to career success.Specifically, we discussed:The critical role of science at The Nature ConservancyHow renewable energy can impact wildlifeChallenges in mitigating conflicts between renewable energy and wildlifeLiz's journey into wildlife research and her transition to the renewable energy science spaceWhat it's like to work at The Nature Conservancy and nonprofits as a wholeFinding the right work-life balance as a mother and scientistTips for students pursuing environmental science careersThe importance of taking initiative and being a self-starterAnd MORE!I'm so grateful to have had this insightful chat with my former colleague. Liz is living proof that with dedication, adaptability, and a genuine desire to protect nature, your career can take you amazing places!I'm Dr. Stephanie Manka (formerly Schuttler), a wildlife biologist of nearly 20 yrs with 20+ peer-reviewed scientific publications, author of the book Getting a Job in Wildlife Biology: What It's Like and What You Need to Know (https://www.amazon.com/Getting-Job-Wildlife-Biology-What/dp/B08JDYXS4G/) and founder of Fancy Scientist.

The traditional linear career trajectory is increasingly giving way to more dynamic, unconventional paths. This shift reflects changes in the global economy, technological advancements, and a growing emphasis on work-life balance and personal fulfillment.The Changing Face of CareersThe 21st-century career path is far from traditional. It's no longer about climbing a single corporate ladder but rather navigating a complex maze of opportunities, often in multiple fields or disciplines. This new landscape offers flexibility, creativity, and the chance to align work more closely with personal values and interests.Non-Traditional Approaches to Career Development:Portfolio Careers: A portfolio career involves having multiple part-time jobs or projects in different fields simultaneously, rather than one full-time job. This approach allows for a diverse range of experiences and the ability to adapt to changing job markets. Daily Practice: Dedicate time each day to develop skills in various areas of interest. This could be through online courses, reading, or practical experience. Remote and Freelance Work: The rise of remote work and freelancing offers unprecedented flexibility and autonomy. Professionals can tailor their work environment and schedule to their preferences, potentially increasing productivity and satisfaction. Daily Practice: If you're a freelancer or remote worker, establish a structured daily routine that includes dedicated work hours, breaks, and time for personal activities. ContinuSupport the Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1590358/support Closing of ReThinkBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Send us a Text Message.It's no secret that becoming a medical doctor is considered one of the most revered and respected professions in the world. Then why are physician satisfaction rates so low and burnout rates so high?This is a question our host Dr. Sapna Shah-Haque is determined to get to the bottom of and find solutions to change this “norm” across the profession. In today's episode, we have invited Dr. Nii Darko, a trauma surgeon and podcast co-host alongside his wife Dr. Renee Darko called Docs Outside The Box.After years working in a hospital setting, both Dr. Nii Darko and Dr. Renee Darko decided they wanted to take back their autonomy and decided to change the way they provide healthcare where they are the masters of their own domain and not under the thumb of the faulty system they once were a part of.It is a road less traveled, but it has opened life up for both Dr. Nii Darko and Dr. Renee Darko, where they don't feel the burn out and can essentially give better care to their patients because of it.So this begs the question, if doctors took back their autonomy, would it increase satisfaction? Also, what does taking your autonomy look like and how can we achieve it? All these questions and more will be answered in this episode, so be sure to tune in and find out!Topics discussed in this episode:Who is Dr. Nii Darko and Dr. Renee Darko?What is locum tenens and its benefits?The loan debt issue for medical professionalsThings medical students should consider early in their careersThe importance of hiring a contract lawyer early on in your medical careerLearning how to advocate for yourself as a medical professionalFinding autonomy as a doctorHow to increase physician satisfactionImportant conversations we need to have to address the burnout problemWhy are many physicians suffering with their mental health in silence?Connect with Dr. Nii Darko:InstagramFacebookTwitterCheck out Docs Outside The Box on Apple Podcasts!To listen to more episodes, head to Though I am a physician, this is not medical advice.

Andrea Spiegel is an operations and management consultant based in Vancouver, BC, with 15 years of experience in leadership management spanning multiple industries, including entertainment, wellness, service, trades, and manufacturing. She enjoys working with visionary founders, helping them define long-term goals, identify gaps in current systems, and map out tangible strategies for sustainable growth. One of Andrea's greatest passions is bringing order to chaos and witnessing the freedom her clients feel as their business becomes aligned with their vision. When she is not strategizing with clients, you might find Andrea engaging with her community in one of her favorite not-for-profit organizations or skiing Whistler with her family.Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn:Some of the favorite job titles Andrea Spiegel has been calledWhat Andrea learned from the LA film industryWhy she left entertainment to work in yogaAndrea's thoughts on maternity leave and women's careersThe beauty and challenge of working in a smaller companyWhy she was drawn to yoga after LAWhat she means by doing “good” business versus “nice” businessWhere leaders need to place their prioritiesWhat specific thing she learned from Kevin Lang that Andrea valuesThe value of process when coupled with innovative thinking and what people need to be successfulIn this episode…Andrea Spiegel took what she calls a “not straight pathway” to her current career at URGEO. Born in Calgary, AB, she first moved to LA to work at a literary agency in the film industry. From there she moved up to Vancouver, BC, to work in yoga. She started teaching at YYoga and went on to become the Regional Operations Manager. After her maternity leave, she went to the lighting design company McCormick Studio which is where she was introduced to Martin as a mentor. And that led her to URGEO.The through line in all Andrea's career moves is a love of creative industries and her ability to create very elegant systems that allow people to be creative. She also realized that many things that appear definitive are actually negotiable, that companies are composed of people whose decisions can be questioned by the curious and confident. What Andrea also saw was the inversion of performance management: instead of caring about the performance of the people being managed, the care was about the performance of a manager. She took these things to heart.In this episode of What CEOs Talk About, host Martin Hunter and guest Andrea Spiegel discuss leadership and managing people, the value of redirection over criticism, and how the best process is developed with the people using it in mind. Andrea is clear that the value of elegant systems is not simply efficiency and revenue, but that people can work in them. She wants CEOs and entrepreneurs to be able to get back to doing the thing they started the business to do, instead of spending all their time doing the business.Resources mentioned in this episode:URGEOContact email: info@urgeo.comMartin Hunter on LinkedInAndrea Spiegel on LinkedInYYogaMatthew McCormick‘Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know' by Adam Grant‘The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable' by Patrick Lencioni‘Getting Naked: A Business Fable' by Patrick LencioniResources recommended for CEOs and leaders:Monday.comBambooHRSponsor for this podcast...This podcast is brought to you by URGEO, Operational excellence in action through the Are you Ready Program!Are you READY to free up your time?Optimize your Organization?Grow revenue and reduce costs?Build your leadership team?Partnering with organizations like yours, we work with you to implement our proven methodology designed to transform your operations, while providing accurate advice and support for real success.Translating strategy into frontline operations, URGEO helps leaders and the people within their organization excel at safe, on-time, on-budget and on-spec delivery.

Send us a Text Message.It's no secret that becoming a medical doctor is considered one of the most revered and respected professions in the world. Then why are physician satisfaction rates so low and burnout rates so high?This is a question our host Dr. Sapna Shah-Haque is determined to get to the bottom of and find solutions to change this “norm” across the profession. In today's episode, we have invited Dr. Nii Darko, a trauma surgeon and podcast co-host alongside his wife Dr. Renee Darko called Docs Outside The Box.After years working in a hospital setting, both Dr. Nii Darko and Dr. Renee Darko decided they wanted to take back their autonomy and decided to change the way they provide healthcare where they are the masters of their own domain and not under the thumb of the faulty system they once were a part of.It is a road less traveled, but it has opened life up for both Dr. Nii Darko and Dr. Renee Darko, where they don't feel the burn out and can essentially give better care to their patients because of it.So this begs the question, if doctors took back their autonomy, would it increase satisfaction? Also, what does taking your autonomy look like and how can we achieve it? All these questions and more will be answered in this episode, so be sure to tune in and find out!Topics discussed in this episode:Who is Dr. Nii Darko and Dr. Renee Darko?What is locum tenens and its benefits?The loan debt issue for medical professionalsThings medical students should consider early in their careersThe importance of hiring a contract lawyer early on in your medical careerLearning how to advocate for yourself as a medical professionalFinding autonomy as a doctorHow to increase physician satisfactionImportant conversations we need to have to address the burnout problemWhy are many physicians suffering with their mental health in silence?Connect with Dr. Nii Darko:InstagramFacebookTwitterCheck out Docs Outside The Box on Apple Podcasts!Connect with Dr. Sapna Shah-Haque:InstagramThough I am a physician, this is not medical advice.

An Athlete's Life, with Anouk PattyEpisode Summary:So many people are afraid of change, but sometimes we get to talk to someone whose life is a case study of change. When it was clear that Anouk Patty – an NCAA champion ski racer – would not be good enough to reach Olympic medal heights, she changed. Business school and a successful career in tech strategy and deal-making followed. When Anouk realized that she was not living her true self, this mother of two came out as gay, at age 40. When she was diagnosed with breast cancer, she became an even more empathetic and passionate leader. An honest and inspirational conversation with Anouk Patty, on The Sydcast.Sydney Finkelstein Syd Finkelstein is the Steven Roth Professor of Management at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. He holds a Master's degree from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from Columbia University. Professor Finkelstein has published 25 books and 90 articles, including the bestsellers Why Smart Executives Fail and Superbosses: How Exceptional Leaders Master the Flow of Talent, which LinkedIn Chairman Reid Hoffman calls the “leadership guide for the Networked Age.” He is also a Fellow of the Academy of Management, a consultant and speaker to leading companies around the world, and a top 25 on the Global Thinkers 50 list of top management gurus. Professor Finkelstein's research and consulting work often relies on in-depth and personal interviews with hundreds of people, an experience that led him to create and host his own podcast, The Sydcast, to uncover and share the stories of all sorts of fascinating people in business, sports, entertainment, politics, academia, and everyday life.Anouk Patty Born into a skiing family in France and raised in Vermont, Anouk Patty was practically destined to make it onto the US Ski team at age 14. Yet after a few years as a global top-30 skier, Anouk was ready to leave behind the “single-minded focus that it takes to be a world-class athlete.” She went on to ski at Dartmouth, where she claimed an NCAA title, and then to JP Morgan in New York where she launched her professional career. After earning her MBA at Harvard Business School and doing a stint at Bain Consulting, Anouk jumped on the tech bandwagon at Intuit. She spent 10 years there before taking some time off to be a mom and (finally) have some time to reflect on her life and what she wanted. As a result, she got divorced, came out as gay, and decided to head back to work doing strategic partnerships at HP. Today, Anouk holds a similar role at Dropbox, sits on numerous ski-related boards, and is a recent survivor of breast cancer. She describes herself as “intensely curious about life, business, opportunities, and people.”Insights from this Episode The age range ski racer's usually reach the peak of their careersThe challenges of being an athleteThe importance of the single-minded focus for an athleteThe differences between an excellent athlete and a world championThe difficulties Anouk faced when she transitioned to the business worldHow Anouk ended up working on Wall StreetThe skillsets from the athletic world that have served Anouk the most in businessAnouk's experience choosing an alternative career pathHow Anouk decided that she was going to retire temporarily to be a momHow being gay has affected Anouk as a leaderHow the workspace has changed in the past decadesHow Anouk dealt with being diagnosed with breast cancerWhat advice Anouk would give to her younger selfQuotes from the Show: "It's a pretty brutal sport. You're out there in the cold, it's freezing... whether its raining or cold or whatever it is you have to be out there and they're long days" - Anouk Patty [09:30]"I love hanging out with people that are trying to be the best in the world at something. There's only one number one at any point in time, so most people are not gonna hit that, but that doesn't mean you can't try it" - Sydney Finkelstein [20:11]"When I was actually trying to get the job and going through recruiting, I had a number of different firms say to me: Well you should just go back into sports" - Anouk Patty [23:30]"When you make these life-changing shifts you feel like: Oh God, what am I letting go, and what am I giving up? Will I ever be able to find this sense of reward and satisfaction again?" - Anouk Patty [32:28]"[About breast cancer] You just never think that something like this could happen because we [the athletes] spend so much of our time taking care of our bodies, eating the right food and exercising everyday"- Anouk Patty [44:30]"If you want to get the best out of others, you have to bring your best and truest self to the table" - Anouk Patty[48:42]Stay Connected:Sydney FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The SydcastAnouk PattyTwitter: Anouk PattyFacebook: Anouk PattySubscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.This episode was produced and managed by Podcast Laundry.
