Aran Goyoaga is a fourth-generation baker, cookbook author, food stylist, and photographer.

In this conversation with Dr. Amit Gosalia, we connect the clinic to the Capitol and show how small, consistent actions can unlock direct access, fair recognition, and better outcomes for patients.We start with the spark: early licensure battles in Arizona, the evolving relationship between audiologists and hearing instrument specialists, and the shared commitment to higher standards and clear scope. From there, we dig into the Medicare Audiology Access Improvement Act and its three pillars: direct access for patients, practitioner status under Medicare, and reimbursement for services already within scope. Dr. Gosalia lays out a no-excuses playbook for busy clinicians—use your association's action center, personalize the message, hit send—and explains why stories, not just statistics, flip lawmakers from polite to persuaded.Leadership becomes the throughline. We talk about the profession's habit of underselling itself, why state associations hold real power, and how to step into roles without waiting for the perfect time. Dr. Gosalia's coaching lens turns to growth decisions: know your why, weigh vertical versus horizontal expansion, and avoid cannibalizing your own market. He shares candid lessons on staffing, commute realities, demographics, and the quiet advantage of one well-equipped hub—vestibular, implants, tinnitus, protection—over a scattered footprint.We close with a clear-eyed view of the future. The path forward is collective and practical: advocate locally, host your representatives, and turn everyday patient stories into policy wins that make hearing healthcare accessible and humane.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a review with one action you'll take this month to advocate for better access in hearing care.

Elevating professionalism is key to much of the day-to-day work of Ellen M. Friedman, MD, FACS, FAAP, and we knew we had to have her join the Faculty Factory Podcast to learn more. Dr. Friedman serves as Professor of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery and is the Senior Associate Dean of Professionalism and the Director of the Center for Professionalism at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. The end result of the Center for Professionalism, which we discuss at length in today's episode, is a warm and positive professional climate at Baylor College of Medicine. We also dive into the concept of professionalism in general. More about the Center: https://www.bcm.edu/education/academic-faculty-affairs/center-for-professionalism  While promoting professionalism is the core service of the Center, it also has systems in place to report instances where professionalism is lacking. The problem with traditional wellness programs is that they often place the burden on the individual while systematic issues at the institution remain unresolved, as Dr. Friedman points out. The Center at Baylor aims to address those systematic issues so they don't stand in the way of wellness and progress. More than anything else, however, the Center exists to acknowledge and recognize acts of positive professionalism. “It's a very small number of individuals who are perceived to have lapses in professionalism, but unfortunately, that small group of people tends to receive the most attention,” she says. For that reason, the Center is dedicated to honoring professionals who demonstrate exemplary professionalism. More resources: https://facultyfactory.org/ 

The most enjoyable part of doing the podcast is talking to a wide range of people who, regardless of their industry or role, share a common goal: making things better. At the end of the day, that's what it's all about. Sometimes we make things better by selling something people need. Other times, it's by teaching them something new, creating an art installation that moves them, designing a workplace where they feel fulfilled, or building tools that make tasks easier. Whatever the approach, the mission remains the same—to make things better.This simple goal can often get lost behind the different names our work has taken over time. Take “UX,” for example. It started as “Human Factors,” then became “Human-Computer Interaction,” and eventually evolved into “User Experience” and “Human-Centered Design.” Whatever the term, it all comes back to the same principle: improving lives. The more we keep that in mind, the better we understand what this work is truly about.There's a lot of talk today about creating a “Digital First” strategy. But perhaps we should think in terms of a Human First strategy—focusing on what people want, what they need, and how we can help close the gap. One of the great things about being a podcast host, educator, and thought leader in this space is providing the tools that help others create the tools people need.My guest on this episode of Experience by Design understands what it means to elevate human potential and create “human-powered excellence.” Terry Peters discovered his passion for computers and coding through his high school football coach. Over his 20+ year career, he has helped organizations shape their digital strategies through user research, systems design, and user-focused experiences. His systems perspective emphasizes the importance of employee experience within technological and digital design—prioritizing their voices to create solutions that truly make things better.We discuss Terry's journey into management information systems and eventually user experience. We explore the challenges of requirements gathering, the role of AI as a supportive tool in human-centered design (rather than a replacement), and Terry's work with Veracity, now part of RGP, where empathy is central to projects that impact employees' work and lives.Finally, we reflect on the ethos of user experience: improving people's lives and making things better. By integrating diverse perspectives, we can build tools that help people achieve that goal.Terry Peters on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/terry-peters-m-s-8198b61b/RGP: https://rgp.com/

Description: Psoriatic disease affects far more than just the skin. Hear leading dermatologist Dr. April Armstrong and Dr. Benoît Guérrette discuss this and more with Jensen, a patient advocate. Psoriatic disease affects not only the skin but it can impact confidence, emotional and social well-being, and daily life. In this episode, join moderator Dr. Guy Eakin, Chief Scientific and Medical Officer at NPF, as we explore the disconnect between clinical classifications of psoriasis and what patients experience in real-life with leading dermatologist Dr. April Armstrong, Dr. Benoît Guérrette, Vice President of Dermatology & Rheumatology at Takeda, and Jensen, a NPF patient advocate and former Lead Youth Ambassador. Listen as we address the need for a more nuanced approach to classifying disease severity that accounts for the holistic needs of psoriatic disease, as well as share insights into how advocacy and awareness can drive change in treatment access and care standards.  The intent of this episode is to identify how clinical severity classifications of psoriasis are evolving to meet the needs of those who live with the disease and how that change impacts overall management. This episode is sponsored by Takeda. Timestamps: (0:00) Intro to Psoriasis Uncovered and guest welcome to dermatologist Dr. April Armstrong, Vice President of Takeda, Dr. Benoît Guérette, and patient advocate Jensen, who discuss the unmet needs of people with moderate psoriasis and how as a community we can better serve those living with the disease. 2:22 How health care providers and the biopharmaceutical industry are coming together to address systemic eligibility and the unmet needs of people living with psoriasis. 4:25 Quality of life should be included when assessing clinical severity in psoriasis and identification of appropriate treatment choices. 6:52 The impact of misdiagnosis, inappropriate treatment, and effect on high impact sites can be life- altering. 8:30 How appropriate treatment and knowledge can make all the difference when diagnosed with plaque psoriasis.  9:40 Views on the psoriasis disease classification system and how it's evolving to include real life impact from physical and emotional needs, to more personalized care for those living with psoriasis, even when small body surface areas are involved. Severity isn't defined by skin coverage alone. 12:38 What's needed to prioritize the care and outcomes of people living with psoriasis. 14:18  The future of management and care for psoriatic disease. 15:53  "My skin tells a story." Wisdom from what I wish I had known previously. 16:52  Moving closer to care that truly reflects the lives and needs of those who live with psoriasis. Key Takeaways: ·       Severity of psoriasis isn't defined by skin coverage or body surface area (BSA) alone. The impact on quality of life should also be considered in the assessment, selection of treatment, and management of the disease.  ·       The psoriasis disease classification system is evolving to be more of a patient centered approach.  Many clinicians are now using the International Psoriasis Council (IPC) or 2 bucket approach to identify whether someone should receive a topical or systemic treatment based on location and response to treatment, as well as impact on quality of life.  ·       With continued research and  development, the next 5 to 10 years could see a shift in effective treatment options while also treating sooner to initiate better outcomes for people living with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Guest Bios:   April Armstrong, M.D., M.P.H. is an internationally renowned dermatologist and clinical researcher who is a Professor and Chief of Dermatology at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) where she specializes in inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Dr. Armstrong is also the Co-Director for Network Resources at the UCLA Clinical and Translational Research Institute. She has conducted over 150 clinical trials and published over 350 high impact articles in scientific journals. Dr. Armstrong holds multiple leadership positions including the immediate Past Chair of the National Psoriasis Foundation Medical Board, Co-President of the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA), councilor for the International Psoriasis Council, and board member for the International Dermatology Outcome Measures and the American Academy of Dermatology.  Benoît Guérette, Ph.D. is an accomplished leader in medical affairs with extensive experience across academia and the pharmaceutical industry. Since March 2025, Dr. Guérette has served as Vice President of Dermatology and Rheumatology US Medical Affairs at Takeda Pharmaceutical. Prior to joining Takeda, he held several strategic and leadership roles at various pharmaceutical companies, including overseeing clinical development, global and U.S. medical affairs, global access & pricing, translational sciences and more. Before transitioning to the industry, Dr. Guérette was an Associate Professor of Immunology at Laval University, leading research in cancer immunology. He holds a Ph.D. in Medicine, Microbiology, and Immunology from Laval University and completed postdoctoral studies in Inflammation and Immunology at  Harvard Medical School.  Jensen is a volunteer and former Lead Youth Ambassador for the National Psoriasis Foundation. Jensen developed psoriasis at age 7 but wasn't formally diagnosed until age 14 being misdiagnosed along the way, trying different management approaches that were ineffective. She was a competitive swimmer from elementary through high school and in the last 2 years of high school played lacrosse. Upon finishing high school she attended college becoming a registered nurse in an intensive care unit. Jensen wants "youth living with psoriatic disease to feel a  community that is behind them and with them every step of the way. I really want to be able to make a difference in a way that would've helped me as a child when I was diagnosed."

Higher Ed AV Podcast335: Joe Way's Thanksgiving Episode In this special solo Thanksgiving episode of the Higher Ed AV Podcast, Joe Way steps “back to the roots” of the show with a reflective, unscripted gratitude list and a peek at what's coming next. He explains recent changes to the podcast format including, inviting with executive and AV-adjacent guests, episodes stuck in limbo, and a refreshed bumper, while recommitting to the heart of the show… Elevating tech managers and support professionals across the higher ed AV vertical. He also teases the traditional Christmas episode and a mysterious “special” episode to close out the year, before resetting the show's direction for 2026.Joe then walks through an extended, deeply personal ten-part gratitude list that tracks not just his career, but his growth as a leader, husband, father, and grandfather. He starts with his work at UCLA, celebrating how the Digital Spaces team and campus IT leadership have come together through reorgs, budget pressures, and shifting higher ed realities to form one cohesive, people-first organization. From there he turns to HETMA, reflecting on how the alliance has matured beyond being “the Joe show” into a global advocacy force led by a broad slate of passionate volunteers which is proof that organic leadership and shared ownership can outgrow any single personality.He highlights emerging leaders on his team by name, honoring how they've stepped into awards, recognition, and responsibility, and uses that to encourage listeners to seek mentorship, ask their bosses for development opportunities, and be bold about their own growth. Joe also expresses gratitude for a breakout year of speaking and writing, framing it as the “ten-year overnight success” of his higher ed journey and urging aspiring thought leaders to start small, stay consistent, and leverage platforms like Higher Ed AV to find their voice.The episode moves into more vulnerable territory as Joe thanks the wider AV channel, integrators, manufacturers, and media partners, for friendships that now feel less transactional and more like true community. He openly acknowledges a difficult year personally and emotionally, sharing how his family, especially his wife and grandson Frankie, anchored him through loss, change, and some unhealthy coping patterns. That honesty sets up his gratitude for a major physical and spiritual reset: losing a dramatic amount of weight, changing his conference habits, re-engaging in church and ministry, and rediscovering a sense of purpose rooted in service rather than hustle.Joe also talks about learning to value rest and work–life blend, discovering that golf, writing, and podcasting can be forms of healthy release instead of just more work. He challenges listeners to examine their own “why,” to decide whether their jobs are just paychecks or vehicles for impact, and to be intentional either way. Finally, he comes full circle to thank the Higher Ed AV community itselflisteners, volunteers, and peers who have supported him through house fires, career changes, and reinvention—and casts 2026 as a “legacy” year focused on passing the torch, empowering a second wave of leaders, scaling UCLA's cloud-first pilot, making HETMA's impact undeniable, and living in a way that changes lives long after the trophies stop coming.Connect with Joe Way:Web: https://www.josiahway.comLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/josiahwayX (Formerly Twitter): https://www.x.com/josiahwayInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/josiahway
