Dale Wollschleger is the Founder and former CEO of Cleveland-based ExactCare Pharmacy and the developer of the ExactPack™—a patient-specific medication packaging system designed to simplify complex medication regimens.This conversation with Dale dives into the unlikely journey of a pharmacist-turned-entrepreneur who started in the back of a small Cleveland pharmacy and built a billion-dollar organization serving patients across the country.ExactCare's meteoric growth—from inception to a multi-hundred-million-dollar business in under a decade—has earned it repeated recognition as an Inc. 5000 fastest-growing company and a Top Workplace by The Plain Dealer. Dale himself was named an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year.Ultimately, Dale's remarkable journey stems from an observation he made as a pharmacist: that pharmacists have the opportunity to play a more integral role in clinical care—and that their responsibility doesn't end when the patient leaves the store. Many patients could live healthier, more independent lives if only they took the right medications at the right times.In our conversation, Dale shares how he navigated the many chapters of scaling a healthcare business: bringing in private equity and outside capital, evolving his leadership, and balancing high-growth expectations with a deep commitment to patient outcomes, company culture, family—and much more.00:00 - The Journey of a Pharmacist Turned Entrepreneur14:34 - Building ExactCare: Addressing Complex Patient Needs24:18 - The Evolution and Vision of ExactCare31:07 - Entrepreneurial Spirit in Pharmacy38:59 - Understanding the Pharmacy Industry43:24 - Pride in Building in Cleveland-----For more on The O.H.I.O.

00:45 The deepest ecosystem ever discoveredResearchers have dived down to more than 9,000 metres below the surface of the Pacific and discovered surprisingly complex communities of life living in deep ocean trenches. The new research shows an array of animal life that appears to be using methane as a source of energy. The researchers are planning more dives to learn more about this mysterious ecosystem and how these animals can thrive despite the extreme pressure they face.Research Article: Peng et al09:36 Research HighlightsA fossilized leg bone reveals an 11-million-year-old fight between a terror bird and a caiman, plus the anti-ageing secret of ‘immortal' stars.Research Highlight: Rumble in the Miocene: terror bird versus caimanResearch Highlight: ‘Immortal' stars have an elixir of youth: dark matter11:45 How infections could awaken dormant cancerNew research reveals that infection by a respiratory virus has the potential to awaken dormant cancer cells. In mice studies, a team showed that inflammation caused by infection with influenza or SARS-CoV-2 could initiate the awakening of breast cancer cells that had metastasized to the lungs. Observational studies using human health data also showed that a COVID-19 infection was associated with increased risk of lung metastasis and cancer death. While the precise mechanisms are unknown, the team say that understanding the process could help mitigate any risks of cancer progression caused by a viral infection.Research Article: Chia et al.News and Views: Inflammation during viral infection can rouse dormant cancer cells21:45 Will physicists ever agree on quantum mechanics?A survey of more than 1,100 physicists has revealed that there are widely different interpretations of what quantum mechanics means for our understanding or reality.

“It's all about labels, it's all about claims, and it's all about certifications. Regenerative is a mess. It's a hot mess. ... I can understand, articulate, and define it really easily, but the average consumer, I don't think, can for a myriad of reasons.... The entire reason regenerative agriculture was created is the beauty of it being a transition tool to improve conventional agriculture. The challenge is it's super easy to greenwash if it's not legit, and it's really easy to lower the bar as low as possible.” —Anthony Corsaro Ever picked up a carton of “regenerative” eggs or a bag of “regenerative” chips and thought, “Is this actually better—or just clever marketing?” With so many labels, certifications, and claims crowding the shelves, it's no wonder shoppers feel lost, second-guessing every choice and wondering if they're being duped by hype. After overcoming personal health struggles and witnessing the gaps in our food system firsthand, ReGen Brands co-founder Anthony Corsaro shifted his focus from his family's produce business to championing regenerative agriculture. His journey from industry insider to nonprofit leader gives him a unique lens to cut through the noise and spotlight what truly matters in the regenerative movement. Tune in for a clear-eyed look into the meaning (and misuse) of the term “regenerative,” the maze of certifications, the evolution of food business models, supply chain realities, personal health impacts of eating and living regenerative, how to spot the difference between real change and empty claims, and practical tips for making smarter choices. Meet Anthony: Anthony is the co-founder of ReGen Brands, an ecosystem supporting regenerative agriculture and CPG brands. With a background in family produce distribution and personal experience overcoming an autoimmune disease through nutrition, he transitioned from business operations to advocating for regenerative agriculture. He co-hosts the Regen Brands podcast and leads three key initiatives: the Regen Brands Institute (research), Regen Brands Coalition (brand collaboration), and Regen Brands Capital (funding). Anthony is passionate about improving food systems, supporting regenerative brands, and creating systemic solutions to help these businesses scale and succeed.

Send us a textIn this episode, we talk to Kirsten Kaiser Kus. She is a defense attorney and an equity owner at Downey & Lenkov LLC, leading their Indiana practice. She brings deep experience from both the plaintiff and defense sides of workers' compensation. She shares how her involvement with CLM and litigation education shaped her expertise and helped grow her professional network.We explore the many stakeholders in the workers' compensation system. Kirsten discusses distinctions between plaintiff-side and defense-side stakeholders and how they interact—or clash—within systems that vary state by state.On the plaintiff (applicant) side, she highlights challenges such as unrealistic expectations, lack of understanding of legal metrics, and client control issues. Then she systematically breaks down the far more complex defense side, detailing the roles of carriers, TPAs, hearing members, medical providers, mediators, ombudsmen, vendors, brokers, excess carriers, self-insured clients, and even how politics play out in our system.Throughout our conversation, Kirsten emphasizes one central principle: communication is critical. Where, oh where have we heard that before? Whether navigating expectations, coordinating stakeholders, or managing the risk of expensive cases, clear, proactive, and coordinated communication is what drives effective outcomes.Stakeholders in the Workers' Comp Ecosystem:Injured Worker The employee who was hurt at work and seeking benefits.Applicant's Attorney / Claimant's Attorney / Plaintiff's Attorney / Petitioner's Counsel The lawyer representing the injured worker (term varies by state).Defense Attorney The attorney representing the employer or insurance carrier.Employer The company where the injured worker is employed; also referred to as "the insured."Insurance Carrier The insurance company providing workers' comp coverage to the employer.Third-Party Administrator (TPA) An outside company that manages the administration of claims on behalf of self-insured employers or insurance carriers.Broker An insurance advisor who helps employers obtain and manage coverage.Self-Insured Employer A company that pays claims out-of-pocket, often with excess insurance coverage.Excess Carrier The insurer that covers costs beyond a self-insured employer's retention layer.Hearing Member / Judge / Commissioner The official who hears and rules on workers' compensation disputes.Ombudsman A state-provided guide who assists unrepresented workers.Mediator A neutral party who helps both parties involved in a litigated case try to settle the case before trial.Medical Provider Doctors and other clinicians who treat the injured worker.Nurse Case Manager (NCM) A licensed nurse who helps coordinate medical care and communicate with all stakeholders. NCMs are often called in to help coordinate more complex claims. Vendors Service providers such as interpreters, transportation, Medicare compliance experts, durable medical equipment (DME) suppliers, and home modification specialists.Subrogation Counsel / Third-Party Recovery Attorneys or departments pursuing reimbursement when a third party (not the employer) caused the injury.Family Members Often involved in influencing the injured worker's decisions and expectations, an important perspective to keep in mind througho¡Muchas Gracias!

Filiberto Amati, Founder of Amati & Associates and Head of Partnerships at MAFFEO DRINKS, is a veteran of major spirits companies, including Campari and Di Saronno. He dissects the seismic "shrink for growth" transformation, reshaping the global spirits industry. Drawing from his deep FMCG expertise, Filiberto explains how spirits companies are finally adopting consolidation strategies that transformed consumer goods giants two decades ago—moving from "economies of scale" obsessions to a strategic "economies of scope" focus. As Campari divests Cinzano, Brown-Forman sells Finlandia, and Diageo sells Pampero Rum, Filiberto reveals how this isn't random portfolio shuffling but a calculated response to activist investor pressure and economic uncertainty. The conversation explores if mega-mergers are likely in the fragmented spirits industry, how mid-tier players like Gruppo Montenegro and Caffo are capitalizing on cast-off assets to build global scale, and why this inflection point will reshape competitive dynamics for the next 10-15 years.Disclaimer: All analysis is based on publicly available information.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction and FMCG Context02:15 Shrink for Growth Phenomenon Explained06:30 Economies of Scale vs Scope12:45 Industry Fragmentation Reality18:20 Listed vs Private Company Dynamics23:10 Mid-Tier Consolidation Opportunities28:15 Future Industry Structure Predictions

Since I have deviated recently from the academic origins of the archetype of the Green Man, I decide to summarize the rest of the book I had been following, The Quest for the Green Man. I also point out that by researching him, and his consort, the Green Woman, I have been finding more and more Green humans who have devoted their lives to the defense of nature and exemplify a return to a Greener way of living. I take you with me to the Rio Claro Natural Reserve, which we visited as prompted by my sister, a Green Woman herself, who runs a sanctuary for abandoned dogs. Rio Claro is a majestic rainforest where a clear, powerful river is The Boss, whose owner is a real-life Green Man. We learn about his journey as an environmental activist, and about his daughter, who also cared passionately for nature. Water rafting down rapids and trekking the forest are the first adventures I share with you, and spelunking will be the topic of the next episode. Come follow me to the Rio Claro Basin surrounded by an Enchanted Forest, where the question voiced in the title of this episode becomes unavoidable.

Episode Summary:Dave Coriale sits down with Gretchen Steenstra, Director of Project Strategy and Leadership at DelCor, and Niko Cribb, Technology Consultant at DelCor, to unpack what happened at the DelCor Bootcamp during AMS Fest. They explore the evolving challenges of AMS selection, the importance of ecosystem and context diagrams, and how associations can better prepare for system adoption. From peer-to-peer learning to the impact of private equity on vendor trust, this episode is packed with practical takeaways for association professionals navigating the complex world of association management systems. Topics & Themes:Inside the DelCor Bootcamp at AMS FestA vendor-free, candid environment where association professionals can ask real questions and get honest feedback.Bootcamp helps attendees feel more confident and prepared before engaging with vendors.Ecosystem and Context DiagramsAttendees were asked to draw their current tech ecosystem to visualize integrations and ownership.The process of creating the diagram was more valuable than the final product.Writing Better RequirementsParticipants practiced writing user story-based requirements, often for the first time.Emphasis on considering multiple perspectives: membership, finance, and member services.Understanding the Role of the Business AnalystAssociations don't need to turn staff into BAs, but must understand the BA role.Clear requirements are essential for selection, configuration, and adoption.Most AMS issues stem from poor adoption, not poor functionality.Balancing Ecosystems vs. All-in-One PlatformsDiscussion around whether to consolidate or diversify systems.Risks of over-reliance on a single platform vs. complexity of multiple systems.Private Equity and Vendor TrustMergers and acquisitions are eroding trust in vendors and direct access to decision-makers is more difficult.Associations must take ownership of training, documentation, and vendor relationships.Change Management and Adoption FearsSome staff fear change and struggle with system transitions.Bootcamp helps surface these concerns early in the process.Peer Learning and Community SupportAMS Fest's value lies in shared experiences and peer advice.One piece of advice from a peer can shift an entire selection strategy.Final Question: What's Got You Worked Up?Gretchen: Frustrated by the lack of payoff from private equity investment in platforms.Niko: Wants more associations to engage in the conversation and learn from peers.

In this episode, we dive into how Natural Capital is reshaping land use, farming, and business decisions with our guest, Dr Kerry Waylen. She shares her insights and working examples, to explore how land managers, farmers, and policymakers measure nature's value, access carbon markets, and plan for long-term sustainability.We discuss topics including a just transition, the risks of greenwashing, the need for fair systems, and how supply chains—from food production to whisky—are adapting. Practical, grounded, and future-focused, this episode highlights the real opportunities and challenges in putting nature at the heart of decision-making. Kerry Waylen is a senior social researcher in the Social, Economic and Geographical Sciences (SEGS) department at the James Hutton Institute, and Deputy Director of the International Land Use Study Centre (ILUSC).

What can it accomplish for users? In the latest ASUG Talks Roundtable, host Jim Lichtenwalter is rejoined by AI thought leaders, Paul Modderman, Founding AI Engineer at Nova Intelligence; and Anurag Barua, Transformation Leader at SAP.

https://teachhoops.com/ The Cupertino Playbook: How Apple's Business Is Like Elite Basketball Coaching The worlds of technology and basketball seem far apart, but the principles driving Apple's success are remarkably similar to those of legendary coaches. At its core, Apple is run like an elite sports dynasty, with a clear vision, specialized talent, and a playbook competitors struggle to crack. The comparison begins with the head coach, a visionary who sets the team's entire philosophy. Like a coach obsessed with a singular system, Apple was built on the uncompromising vision of Steve Jobs. He was less a traditional CEO and more a demanding leader who dictated a style of play—simplicity and user experience—that his team had to execute to perfection. This "Think Different" philosophy became the team's identity, informing every product, ad campaign, and strategic decision, much like a coach's playbook. Here are four key ways the business of Apple mirrors the art of basketball coaching: 1. A Deep Bench of Specialists A coach's job is to recruit and develop talent for specific roles. Apple is stacked with “All-Stars” in every position: hardware engineers are the dominant centers, software developers are the visionary point guards, and supply chain wizards are the indispensable role players who do the dirty work. The company's genius lies in putting these specialists in a position to excel at their one thing, trusting their collective expertise will result in a flawless team performance. 2. The Ecosystem as the Unbeatable Playbook Dominant teams run integrated plays that are impossible to defend. For Apple, this is their ecosystem. The iPhone, Mac, Watch, and iCloud all work together seamlessly, creating a fluid system that keeps the user engaged. This strategy fosters immense brand loyalty, effectively locking customers into the "team" and making it incredibly difficult for them to switch jerseys to a competitor like Google or Samsung. 3. Fanatical Devotion to Fundamentals Coaches win championships by drilling the basics. Apple's "fundamental" is a flawless user experience. They obsess over details others ignore—the satisfying click of a button, the precise weight of a device, or the smoothness of a scrolling animation. This mastery of the basics ensures that on "game day" (product launch), the performance is perfect, building a foundation of trust and quality. 4. Adapting the Game Plan The best coaches evolve their strategy to stay ahead. Apple didn't stop at the personal computer. They scouted the future and pivoted to the iPod, the iPhone, and now to services like Apple TV+. This is like a coach shifting from a slow, post-up offense to a fast-paced, three-point shooting team to match the modern Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

A software platform built on digital twins, computer vision, and robotics that lets field techs do more of what matters.You'll hear how Raptor Maps found product-market fit by replacing the most dangerous and manual tasks on solar farms with drone- and robot-driven workflows, and how that foundation has evolved into an AI-ready platform used across tens of gigawatts of global deployments.

On this episode of the ReGen Brands podcast, we're joined by Joe Miller from Kalona SuperNatural — a 20-year veteran of the dairy world and a passionate advocate for organic and regenerative farming. We dig into Kalona's unique vertically integrated ecosystem (that includes 19 different businesses!), the brand's deep partnerships with family dairy farms, and all the ways regenerative is shaping their efforts from soil to shelf. Joe shares the story of how a group of farmers took matters into their own hands when the local co-op abandoned the organic market — and why practices like low-temp pasteurization and non-homogenization are helping differentiate their “almost raw” dairy offerings. We also discuss the challenging questions — how regenerative dairy can thrive and scale in a landscape dominated by consolidation, consumer confusion, and razor-thin margins. And Joe gives a heartfelt case for why organic and regenerative matters more than ever — to the land, to the farmer, and to the person drinking the milk. Episode Highlights:
