It started with revenue cycle, but expanded into areas of administration and operation. (15:05)Challenges. To Sean, Olive's biggest challenge is scale.

In this episode of The Outspoken Podcast, host Shana Cosgrove talks to Gretchen LeGrand, co-founder and CEO of Code in the Schools (CITS). Gretchen talks about how she co-founded Code in the Schools with her husband, Mike, the programs they offer and how they help prepare their students for future careers in tech. She also talks about how she went from being a psychotherapist to CEO of a computer science non-profit organization. QUOTES “Computers are so integral to the world that we live in now and have changed everything we do. Every industry is affected by computing. And for students to go through 12 years of school without ever having a class that teaches them how a computer works, like how a person can create a program that makes a computer do all of these things that we have it do, how it does all this thinking work for us, that’s crazy to not have that, to not have that understanding.” -Gretchen LeGrand [16:52] “When you don’t have access to a computer science class in school or ever, how are you going to think like ‘I’m not that person. That I’m not a nerd. I’m not a geek that sits behind a computer all day and types out code. I’m a social person’ or ‘I’m whatever, whatever.’ It’s for everybody, right? But you never know that unless you have the opportunity.” -Gretchen LeGrand [24:59] “I think when you think about success, it’s not money or number of houses or cars, it’s about the lives that you’ve impacted.” -Shana Cosgrove [45:57] TIMESTAMPS [00:04] Intro [02:00] Meet Gretchen LeGrand [05:30] Code in the Schools [12:07] The programs they use [14:21] How they choose courses they offer [16:38] Why a computer science education valuable [18:45] Classroom demographics and colleges they work with [22:38] Gretchen’s favorite success story [26:24] The slow burn to start an organization [30:12] How Gretchen met her husband [32:12] Starting Code in the Schools and going full-time [36:58] Raising money [38:01] The future of Code in the Schools [42:59] How CITS works with Girls Who Code and Black Girls Code [44:15] Being a leader and a recognized figure [48:27] Gretchen’s advice to start a non-profit or study computer science [51:13] Gretchen’s childhood dream job [54:32] What she wishes she did differently in her career [55:10] Her favorite book and professional book that has affected her [58:48] What she loves about Baltimore [59:58] How to get involved with CITS and what’s next [01:02:24] Outro RESOURCES https://www.nwbc.gov/ (National Women's Business Council) https://www.sparkypants.com/ (Sparkypants Studios) https://www.digitalharbor.org/ (Digital Harbor Foundation) https://ymaryland.org/ (The Y in Central Maryland) https://sflc.isd15.org/ (St. Francis Learning Center) https://scratch.mit.edu/ (Scratch) https://code.org/ (Code.org) http://wordpress (Python) https://unity.com/ (Unity) https://wordpress.com/ (Wordpress) https://www.java.com/en/ (Java) https://www.cplusplus.com/ (C++) https://www.morgan.edu/computerscience (Morgan State University Department of Computer Science) https://www.csee.umbc.edu/ (University of Maryland, Baltimore County Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering) https://www.ubalt.edu/cas/undergraduate-majors-and-minors/majors/simulation-and-game-design/ (University of Baltimore Simulation and Game Design) https://www.umd.edu/ (University of Maryland, College Park) https://www.captechu.edu/ (Capitol Technology University) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmen_Sandiego (Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?) https://classicreload.com/oregon-trail.html (The Oregon Trail) https://www.thebrewersart.com/ (The Brewer's Art) https://www.zynga.com/ (Zynga) https://girlswhocode.com/ (Girls Who Code) https://www.blackgirlscode.com/ (Black Girls Code) https://www.bizjournals.com/baltimore/c/meet-the-baltimore-business-journals40-under-40/11114/40-under-40-2019-gretchen-legrand-code-in-the-schools.html (Gretchen listed in Business Journal's 40

Why is it that 40% of Baltimore residents lack broadband access to the internet? In a city where red-lining in housing has a long history, has red-lining moved from the street to the internet? We begin with Dr. John Horrigan. He’s the author of a new report for the Abell Foundation that describes the impact of Baltimore’s Digital Divide on low-income city residents. Dr. Horrigan is a senior fellow at the Technology Policy Institute. Then, Chrissie Powell and Andrew Coy join the conversation.

Did you know that one-third of every dollar spent in healthcare today is used for high-volume and repetitive data-driven administrative processes? The challenge has grown from the digitization of the healthcare industry, but new technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) may also prove to be the answer. I recently came across a company called Olive that builds artificial intelligence and RPA solutions that empower healthcare organizations to improve efficiency and patient care while reducing costly administrative errors. I invited Sean Lane, CEO and Co-Founder at Olive to share his expertise in and insights. We discuss America’s growing trillion-dollar administrative burden in healthcare New applications of AI and ML in healthcare Hiring AI-based digital workers to support human colleagues How AI can reduce errors that impact patient outcomes (insurance eligibility, etc.) Sean is a technology entrepreneur with a deep background in national security and healthcare. Prior to starting his first company, BTS, Sean served as an intelligence officer at the National Security Agency and completed five tours of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq. After BTS, Sean shifted his focus to healthcare and founded Olive (fka CrossChx), a technology company that focuses on building an AI workforce to transform the healthcare industry. Sean is also the founder of Betamore and the Digital Harbor Foundation among others. He is a graduate of Miami University and his recognitions include an Honorary Doctorate of Public Service, the Bronze Star Medal, and Ernst and Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year.

TWEET: Ep. 70: @DelaliDzirasa - Using his #Passion to #MakeADifference in #Technology and the #Community Small Incremental Goals Delali Dzirasa aspired to be a business owner since his days in college. How did he get from a college student to a successful entrepreneur? What carried him across the finish line? Delali says determination and drive helped him achieve his goal. He tells the story of running his first marathon with a friend from college. The one thing that kept him going mile after mile was the simple focus on small incremental goals. One mile at a time. They built on top of each other. Before he knew it, he had finished all 26 miles. Similarly, Delali says entrepreneurship is like running a marathon. You have to set small attainable goals one after another. With each goal accomplished, you accumulate success. Hear more about Delali's story on this inspiring episode of Chasing Dreams! What is STEM and why is it important? Delali Dzirasa is a successful leader in the software development field. As he his influence in the industry has grown, Delali wants to give back. One of the ways Delali and his company, Fearless Solutions accomplishes this is by resourcing STEM programs. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. STEM jobs are the jobs of the future. However, these jobs are increasingly difficult for minorities and women to obtain. If the United States is going to be competitive on the global stage, it needs to invest in resourcing and developing these job avenues.

A purple cow. The purple cow is not just a gimmick. Fearless Solutions’ founder and leader, Delali Dzirasa was inspired by the book “Purple Cow” by Seth Godin.
