How psychiatrist Dr. Duncan Gill transitioned from employee to entrepreneur and built a thriving behavioral health practice serving children, teens, and families. Show Notes Page: https://www.thehowofbusiness.com/611-duncan-gill-practice-owner/ How psychiatrist Dr. Duncan Gill transitioned from employee to entrepreneur and built a thriving behavioral health practice serving children, teens, and families. Many highly trained professionals discover that technical expertise alone is not enough to build a successful business. In this episode, Henry Lopez speaks with Dr. Duncan Gill, founder of Direction Behavioral Health, about his journey from practicing psychiatrist to entrepreneur and business owner. Duncan shares how frustration with bureaucracy and a desire to serve patients differently led him to launch his own behavioral health practice. They discuss the challenges of transitioning from clinician to business leader, including hiring and managing employees, navigating partnerships, delegating responsibility, monitoring key performance indicators, and building systems that allow the business to grow beyond the founder. Duncan also shares why creativity, adaptability, and a willingness to take calculated risks have been critical to his success. He reflects on the lessons he learned from building a team, expanding facilities, and creating a practice that serves children, teens, and families while providing him with the freedom to pursue other interests, including music. This conversation offers valuable insights not only for healthcare professionals but for any entrepreneur seeking to build a business that can grow beyond their direct involvement. Healthcare professionals should not underestimate their ability to become successful entrepreneurs. Dr. Duncan Gill is a board-certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and the founder of Direction Behavioral Health. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Physical Sciences from Harvard University and his Doctor of Medicine degree from Saba University School of Medicine. He completed his General Psychiatry residency and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry fellowship at the University of Connecticut. Before founding Direction Behavioral Health, Duncan served as a staff psychiatrist with the Community Council of Nashua's Child and Adolescent Program. He has also worked with Southern New Hampshire Medical Center and performed psychiatric evaluations for New Hampshire's court system. Today, he leads Direction Behavioral Health, a specialized behavioral health practice serving children, teens, young adults, and families through intensive outpatient programs and other structured mental health services.

It is a heartwarming partnership between senior citizens and elementary school students, a partnership where seniors from a local assisted living center are showing up and reading with kids in the library. On this episode of the Supercast, we take you to Oquirrh Elementary School. That's where we see first-hand how being book buddies is building connections and companionship between the students and seniors, and bridging a generation gap. But best of all, it is inspiring a love for literacy in young children who look forward to the monthly visits from their senior friends. Audio Transcription [MUSIC PLAYING] Teacher: One of my students came back in with a huge smile on her face. I asked her how Golden Hour was and she said that it was so much fun. She loves reading with the grandmas and grandpas. Oh, they get so excited. Diana: And then we had different kids this month and last month. And some of them said, “we have to go back. That was so fun.” They love it. [MUSIC PLAYING] Anthony Godfrey: Hello, and welcome to the Supercast. I'm your host, Superintendent Anthony Godfrey. It is a heartwarming partnership among senior citizens and elementary school students, a partnership where seniors from a local assisted living center are showing up and reading with kids in the school's media center. On this episode of the Supercast, we take you to Oquirrh Elementary School. That's where we see firsthand how being book buddies is building connections and companionship among students and seniors and bridging a generation gap. But best of all, it is inspiring a love of literacy in young children who look forward to the monthly visits from their senior friends. [MUSIC PLAYING] Anthony Godfrey: We are here at Oquirrh Elementary School during Golden Hour Reading, where Sun Ridge Assisted Living residents are working with students to improve their reading skills. Let's listen in. [INTERPOSING VOICES] You're going to read your book and show them how awesome you are. Here, tell you what. Wow. Hey, have you ever seen--have you ever been driving with your parents and have you ever seen this before? Well, I have. That's a long you. Called-- Good job. Good job. Anthony Godfrey I'm talking now with one of our visitors and one of the students here at Oquirrh Elementary. Tell me your name, what grade you're in. Cooper: Cooper and first grade. Anthony Godfrey: And Cooper, how's first grade going? Cooper: Good. Anthony Godfrey: And what did you guys read today? Cooper: Going Fishing. Anthony Godfrey: Oh, Going Fishing. So what did you like most about the book? Cooper: Like you have to get a special hook, like as a fish, but it's not actually a fish on it, but there's no splashing. Anthony Godfrey: And does this make you want to be a fisherman? Cooper: Yes. I really want to go fishing with my dad. Anthony Godfrey: So go home today and tell him, “Dad, I read about fishing and it's time we go fishing.” Cooper: OK. Anthony Godfrey: All right, nice to meet you. So how did it feel to be read to? First introduce yourself and how did you feel being read to today? Dale Koth: Felt great. Anthony Godfrey: Tell me your name. Dale Koth: I'm Dale Koth. Anthony Godfrey: And you're one of the early volunteers to come visit, but I understand there's something in your history that would make that not much of a surprise that you want to be at an elementary school. Dale Koth: I'm a retired teacher, elementary school teacher. Anthony Godfrey: And where did you teach? Dale Koth: I taught at Terra Linda for a while, and I also taught at Southland Elementary. Anthony Godfrey: How long did you teach? When did you start and when did you finish? Dale Koth: OK, I taught for about 29 years. I think it was in 1974. Anthony Godfrey: Wow. Over 50 years ago. Dale Koth: That's right. That's right. Yeah, in a little town called Antimony, Utah. Anthony Godfrey: OK. Dale Koth: I had nine kids. Anthony Godfrey: Nine kids in your class? Dale Koth: Five in the third, five in the second, five in the first. Anthony Godfrey: Wow. Dale Koth: No kindergarten because there were no kindergarten kids there. Anthony Godfrey: And from there you went to-- Dale Koth: I went to-- I taught every year then I went to Blanding. Anthony Godfrey: Wow. Dale Koth: And I taught Blanding Elementary. I taught three years. Then we came to the Jordan School District and I started in Southland Elementary. Taught there for about, I don't know, three years. May have been longer, but I forget. And then I went to Quail Hollow and I taught at Quail Hollow for a long time. Anthony Godfrey: Oh, wow. Dale Koth: Yeah. Then I finished up at Terra Linda and that's where I retired. Anthony Godfrey: So did you retire in the early 2000s? Dale Koth: No. Kind of in the late-- oh, yes, it's the late 1990s. Anthony Godfrey: Oh, OK. Dale Koth: You might say, yeah. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Wow. All right. Well, so you've been enjoying retirement. But is this an exciting addition to your retirement routine? Dale Koth: Yeah, I think it's great. You know, you have a good successful experience here for you and for the kids. And you know, you're doing something. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Dale Koth: And I really like it. Anthony Godfrey: Good. How many times have you been? Dale Koth: This is my second time. Anthony Godfrey: What did you love most about teaching? Dale Koth: Just watching kids progress, learn something. Anthony Godfrey: In elementary, you get to see a lot of that. Dale Koth: Oh, yes. There was a lot of it. Anthony Godfrey: What grades did you teach most? Dale Koth: Third grade. Anthony Godfrey: Third grade. That's a big one. Dale Koth: Which was my favorite grade. Anthony Godfrey: Third was the favorite. Dale Koth: That was the age when they start cursive writing. Anthony Godfrey: Oh, yeah. Dale Koth: I don't know if they still-- do they still do cursive writing? Anthony Godfrey: It's more-- not like they used to. Let me put it that way. Not like they used to. Dale Koth: If you had your way. Anthony Godfrey: Not that weird Q that looks like a 2. No, we don't do that stuff anymore. Dale Koth: OK. Yeah. Also, they learn their multiplication facts. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Dale Koth: And you could just get into reading, and like what somebody told me, the kids can be smart at that age without being a smart aleck. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, that's right. Absolutely. Well, I really appreciate your coming and just getting to watch you with the students. It's really fun to see how much you get their attention right away. Dale Koth: Yeah. Anthony Godfrey: And they stay focused when they're reading with you. So thank you for doing that. Dale Koth: That's great. What's your name? Anthony Godfrey: I'm Dr. Godfrey. I'm Anthony Godfrey. I'm the superintendent for Jordan School District. Dale Koth: You're the superintendent? Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Dale Koth: I've worked here a long time, but I don't think I've ever met the superintendent. Anthony Godfrey: Well, it's very nice to meet you. Dale Koth: I forget names a lot. Anthony Godfrey: Barry Newbold? Dale Koth: Barry Newbold. I knew Barry Newbold, yes. Anthony Godfrey: It's very nice meeting you. Dale Koth: Well, nice meeting you Anthony Godfrey: And thanks for doing this. We look forward to seeing you back next month. Volunteer: Well, great. I'll be back. I'll be back. Anthony Godfrey: We're talking now with Principal Jennifer Ludlow about the program here at Oquirrh Elementary. I know it's new. What do you think so far? Jennifer Ludlow: I love it. It's like my favorite thing and I just grin from ear to ear the hour before they come and about two hours after. Awesome. Anthony Godfrey: There's a great immediate connect with the kids and these volunteers. Jennifer Ludlow: Yes. Anthony Godfrey: Tell me about how the kids have reacted to this. Jennifer Ludlow: Oh, they get so excited. And then we had different kids this month than last month and some of them were like, “we wanted to go back. That was so fun.” They love it and they just love opportunities to read with kids or read with somebody else and get some practice. So far, it's been really positive. Anthony Godfrey: Having a new audience when you're reading out loud, so I'm going to try to impress. It really puts you on the spot, but it also puts you at your best. It helps you really be focused. Jennifer Ludlow: So yeah. And we know kids learn to read through repetition and practice and so what a great opportunity for them to practice with somebody with a lot of wisdom and experience. And we love it. It's so great. Anthony Godfrey: Add some novelty to the day and another human connection, another adult rooting for them. Jennifer Ludlow: Exactly. Someone else on their team. Anthony Godfrey: Well, it's another great thing happening at Oquirrh Elementary. Thank you very much for letting us be here today. Jennifer Ludlow: Thank you. It was a pleasure. Anthony Godfrey: We're now talking with a member of the PTA and the School Community Council. Introduce yourself and tell us how you got this idea. Alicia Abbott: My name is Alicia Abbott. I am on the Community Council at Oquirrh Elementary, also on the PTA board. So we were reviewing the stats of the school last year, and it hurt my heart to see how many kids are not reading and are not doing math. And it hurt my soul. Like literally, I couldn't handle it. And our school is amazing. I don't want to diss on our school. Our school is awesome and I love Principal Ludlow. She's amazing, and our teachers and the community here is awesome. Anthony Godfrey: And tell me, what's the impact that you have seen for the seniors and for the students doing this? I know it's only been a month. Alicia Abbott: Oh, I'm not sure I've seen an impact yet, but I feel an energy and a love of the seniors for the community here. And the impact on these kids is going to be life-changing. They are literally changing lives and the direction of the lives that these kids are stuck in, they are going to be helping them for generations, really. If you help a child, you help a generation. So I'm so excited about it. Anthony Godfrey: I think it's very meaningful when someone from the community spends time. They know their teacher has to. They know their parents have to. But when someone's choosing to volunteer and come in and be a part of their lives, I think that's a big boost to students, even beyond literacy. Alicia Abbott: Well, I have kids. I wouldn't be OK if my kids couldn't read either. So you know what? We got to put in. If we have parents working three or four jobs just to try to put food on the family table, they need help. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, absolutely. Well, thank you for being a big part of that help and bringing this idea. I'm excited to see the impact that it has over the years. Alicia Abbott: Thank you. Anthony Godfrey: Stay with us when we come back. More with the seniors and students of Oquirrh Elementary School.

Please introduce yourself. Teacher: Hi, I'm Anashele. I'm a first-grade teacher at Oquirrh Elementary. One of my students came back in with a huge smile on her face. I asked her how Golden Hour was and she said that it was so much fun. She loves reading with the grandmas and grandpas. She was reading a book about pets and she said that it was so much fun because books help her learn. They make her brain grow every day and she loves to read because she has so much fun doing it. Really seeing them learn to read is my favorite thing because they walk in the door at the beginning of first grade really not knowing how to read. And now I have students like the student going to Golden Hour and reading her own story about pets. So I love seeing that growth throughout the year. Anthony Godfrey: Thank you very much. It's great to be here talking with you. We're here talking with another one of our volunteers today. Collette Craig: Collette Craig. Anthony Godfrey: Collette. Now I understand Collette, that you used to be a teacher. Collette Craig: Yes. Anthony Godfrey: Tell me about your teaching career. Collette Craig: I was a cluster teacher. Anthony Godfrey: Where was that? Collette Craig: Clusters were east side and then west side. I taught at, I think, nine different elementaries. Anthony Godfrey: What district were you in? Collette Craig: Jordan. Anthony Godfrey: In Jordan District. What were some of the schools where you worked? Collette Craig: Let's see. Midvale. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Collette Craig: Sandy. Then they went west to Terra LInda, but not at the same time. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Collette Craig: And Monte Vista, Heartland. Anthony Godfrey: Wow. You really did cover a lot of area. Collette Craig: Oh, yeah. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Collette Craig: If you know culture history, it was all east side at first. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Collette Craig: And then they opened up west side. Anthony Godfrey: Right. What years were you teaching? When did you start and when did you finish? Collette Craig: 1985, I think. Anthony Godfrey: Is that when you started? Collette Craig: Uh-huh. Anthony Godfrey: And when did you finish? Coll: I finished in 20 years later. Anthony Godfrey: 20 years later? OK. 2005. OK. Very good. And 20 years later, you're back volunteering, reading with students. Collette Craig: Yeah. Anthony Godfrey: How has that been? Tell me about that experience. Collette Craig: This is my first time. It's been good. I didn't know what to expect, but it's been good. Anthony Godfrey: Good. Tell me about the students you've worked with so far today. Collette Craig: Oh, they're great. They're cute. Yeah, they're great. What else can I say? The pH sound is really hard for them to grasp. Anthony Godfrey: The pH sound. Hey, it doesn't make sense. Why does pH sound the way it does? No one will ever know. What did you like most about teaching? Collette Craig: I liked it when they got something. When they finally understood something. You had spent weeks, sometimes months on the same thing, and they finally got it. It's like, yay. Anthony Godfrey: It's rewarding. It's rewarding. Well, you're helping do that again, so thank you. Collette Craig: You're welcome. Anthony Godfrey: We're talking now with the activities director from Sunridge Assisted Living and Memory Care. Thank you for talking with us today. Introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about what's happening. Diana: My name is Diana. I'm working in the center for eight years and we have a purpose to have activities with purpose. So this activity is amazing for our residents because they find their friendship. They have a purpose in life, teaching kids. Also, that bring memories to them. We have some teachers participating in the activity, and that is amazing for them. They really enjoy it. The first time when we came, they came back telling the other residents, “that was so fun. We teach kids. That was amazing.” So we want to back. And today, when we back, other friends came with them. So that is amazing. They found a purpose coming here. Anthony Godfrey: Tell us more about the facility. Diana: OK. Our community has two areas. One is for memory care. The other one is for assisted living. We have seniors with some difficult to walk or to get medicine. So we assist them to get the most normal life like they knew it. So part of that and really important part of the life is to have activities. So we have activities every day from Monday to Sunday and we have our clubs. We have sewing clubs, cooking clubs. We have outings. We go one time a month to a different restaurant. Each week, we go to Walmart or to Smith's to do shopping. We have also assisted shopping. So we have volunteers to come with them and assist them to get whatever they want in the store. So that is part of the normal life like everyone knows. We have different things to make them feel like this, “I feel happy today.” And that is our purpose, to have them happy, to have them participating in every activity we have. And that is my satisfaction to see them when they are happy. And when I came with them last time, I saw their happiness in the faces. And it's just like a miracle to see them, how they share with the kids, and the kids accepting them. And it's like a miracle. Miracle happen. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, wonderful. Well, thank you very much for making us a part of those activities and a part of the lives of these seniors. Diana: It's a pleasure. Thank you to let us participate in this program too. [MUSIC PLAYING] Anthony Godfrey: Thanks for joining us on another episode of the Supercast. Remember, “Education is the most important thing you will do today.” We'll see you out there.

The nutrition title was first included in the 1973 farm bill. It's projected to make up 84% of total Farm Bill spending, with most of the funds going to SNAP. That's because the program helps more than 40 million low-income individuals provide food for their families each month. Some of those people are farmers. In this episode, we talk to Mark Nicholson, Senior Director of Policy at the Fair Food Network to dig into how the farm bill links farms and food access.  And we'll talk to farmers about how they are uniquely positioned to directly provide nutritious food for the families in their communities. Mark Nicholson, Senior Director of Policy, Fair Food NetworkMark joined the Fair Food Network after an extensive career in leading organizations involved in national agriculture policy and specialty crop production.

Columbus Park, also known as "The North End," is a historic neighborhood nestled between major highways in Kansas City. Bounded by Route 9 to the west, I-35 North to the east, and the North Loop to the south, it sits by the majestic Missouri River bluffs. Initially settled by Italian immigrants in the late 1800s, it became "Little Italy," with Italian-owned businesses dotting the streets. Today, it thrives as an arts hub, featuring galleries and a monthly art walk. Notable eateries like Happy Gillis and Garozzo's Italian Restaurant draw visitors, while the Sewing Labs offer job training. This podcast kicks off our community engagement neighborhood series.

HOPE not hate has today released its annual State of Hate report, titled ‘Pessimism, Decline and a Rising Radical Right'.It is *the* go-to place for analysis of the far right, growing trends, fresh investigations and up-to-date profiles of all the key figures and groups. There's nothing else out there like it.On this episode of the podcast, Nick and Joe go over the broad takeaways from the report before having an in depth discussion on the topic of the growing Radical Right influence in the Conservative Party. This is an important story which reflects the growing toxicity in mainstream politics. The pair talk about where this group has come from, what it exists to achieve and how big an influence it, and its associated media environment, has on our politics.To close, they touch on two other stories, the first is a new investigation into a member of the Patriotic Alternative splinter group, The Homeland Party, who is Chair of a Community Council near Dundee. The other is a disturbing article into the extremism of a far-right commentator named Steve Laws. Both blogs are linked in the comments, and should be approached with caution.Cheers,X—LINKS:State of Hate 2024Jamie Brown from HomelandThe Extremism of Steve LawsPromoted by Nick Lowles on behalf of HOPE not hate at 167-169 Great Portland St, 5th Floor, W1W 5PF

In a coordinated effort between several federal and local government agencies and private contractors, more than 400,000 tons of toxic and hazards waste are planning to be removed from Lahaina and transported to the temporary debris storage site in Olowalu. The toxic and hazardous waste includes high levels of household waste, asbestos, arsenic, lead, and other toxins. Meanwhile an emergency declaration remains active which allows for side-setting and ignoring various federal, state, city laws and ordinances as part of toxic and hazardous waste removal efforts and any future development to rebuild Lahaina. Excluded or marginalized from the any of the actions, from waste removal and storage which would desecrate sacred sites, to the planned development, which will recolonize Lahaina, are some of the lineal descendants and other Kanaka maoli working to defend and stop the harm to Mother Earth in the Hawaiian Nation.

Tim Costello is one of Australia's most well-known and respected community leaders. In recent times he was voted one of Australia's 100 national living treasures. A recipient of Victorian of the Year and Victoria's Australian of the Year accolades, as well as an Officer of the Order of Australia, he is an influential leader on a range of social issues, including the huge harm caused by the scourge of gambling in Australia.Tim is a previous longtime CEO of World Vision Australia and has helped lead the response to some of the greatest humanitarian disasters of recent times, including the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. A former Lawyer, Tim is a man with many hats. He's the Director of Ethical Voice, Executive Director of Micah Australia, Chair of the Community Council of Australia, Senior Fellow for the Centre for Public Christianity, and Chief Advocate for the Alliance for Gambling Reform. He is also the Chief Advocate of the Thriving Communities Partnership and Patron of the National Youth Commission. He's also the author of several books, including his excellent memoir, A Lot with a Little, which I highly recommend. I particularly enjoyed the section of that book that describes Tim and his wife Merridie's journey in building a congregation at St Kilda Baptist Church and an accompanying drop-in centre and outreach program. It was from here that Tim's advocacy grew and he later went on to become the Mayor of St Kilda, where he developed a reputation as an outspoken social and political voice for change, a voice that is very much a voice of love and courage.
