Learn when umbrella insurance is worth buying and what a $483 bar tab can teach you about being an informed consumer. When does umbrella insurance actually make sense for your finances? What happens if a lawsuit leaves you on the hook for more than your home or auto policy could cover? Hosts Sean Pyles, CFP®, and Elizabeth Ayoola are joined by insurance nerd Caitlin Constantine to tackle a listener's question about umbrella coverage: what it actually is, how it layers on top of your existing home, auto, and renters policies, what umbrella insurance won't cover, and how to figure out whether your current assets and policy limits leave you exposed.  Then, Elizabeth shares money lessons she took away after she and a friend accidentally racked up a $483 bar tab, including handling financial mistakes with grace and the secret power of forgiving yourself.

Why do Christian men often know what is right, but still fail to live it out when pressure hits? In this episode of Leadership Formation for Christian Men, Tim Holloway unpacks why pressure reveals the man being formed, why spiritual knowledge alone is not enough, and how God uses stress, relationships, emotions, business challenges, marriage tension, and personal pain to expose the gap between what a man knows and who he has become. If you have ever wondered why your Christianity feels like it is not “working,” why you keep reacting the same way under pressure, why you struggle with anger, control, avoidance, numbing, fear, or emotional shutdown, this conversation will help you see pressure differently. Pressure is not always something to escape. It may be the very place where God is speaking, refining, and forming Christ in you. This episode is for Christian men, husbands, fathers, leaders, entrepreneurs, and believers who want deeper spiritual formation, emotional maturity, stronger leadership, and a more surrendered life with God. You'll learn why pressure reveals the difference between biblical knowledge and true spiritual formation, and why knowing Scripture is not the same as allowing Scripture to read and transform you. Tim explains how God speaks through your real life, including marriage, family, business, emotions, weakness, conflict, fear, and repeated patterns that keep showing up under pressure. You'll discover why avoidance, numbing, control, anger, defensiveness, and performance mode often come from old programming—and how God uses pressure to bring those hidden patterns into the light. This episode also shows how Christian men can begin responding to pressure with surrender, reflection, wisdom, and emotional maturity instead of reacting from fear, shame, or control. 00:00 Intro00:45 Why Christian men know what to do but still struggle02:19 Why Christianity can feel like it is not working03:15 God comes disguised as your life05:25 Pressure reveals where formation has not caught up07:17 Pressure is a revealer, not the enemy09:01 Why avoiding pain keeps you stuck10:49 How pressure brings hidden patterns into awareness12:48 Why men know better but still react poorly14:00 Letting Scripture read you, not just reading Scripture15:38 Where God speaks through love, family, and business18:38 God meets men inside their emotions20:11 The two builders and the test of integration22:09 Why pressure forms spiritual strength24:55 Becoming a leader who can stand under pressure25:13 The war horse analogy: God as rider, man as horse26:56 How pressure reveals anger, fear, and control28:29 Pressure reveals your patterns29:45 Childhood programming and emotional reactions31:53 Why control and defensiveness show up under pressure33:37 Questions to ask when pressure hits34:26 Where pressure is showing up in your life36:08 How God meets men in weakness and deficiency38:05 Why personal formation affects leadership and business40:34 Deal with pressure privately before it becomes public42:26 Pressure reveals what a man knows vs. who he has become43:26 Why men struggle to hear God's voice45:11 Formation happens by beholding God #ChristianMen#SpiritualFormation#ChristianLeadership#MensMinistry#BiblicalManhood Learn more about your ad choices.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 076: The Giant Surveillance Map Canada Wants to Build on Every Citizen, Encryption Backdoors Coming to Bill C-22, and What Bitcoiners Must Know | Dr. Michael GeistCanada's Bill C-22 would force companies to retain your metadata for up to 12 months, potentially mandate encryption backdoors, and could push Signal out of Canada entirely — and it affects Five Eyes allies including Americans.In this episode, legal scholar and digital rights expert Professor Michael Geist breaks down exactly what's in Bill C-22 (Canada's lawful access legislation), why mandatory metadata retention is far more invasive than the government admits, and how the bill contradicts Canada's own stated commitment to privacy rights. You'll learn why Signal has said it cannot operate under these requirements, how Five Eyes intelligence sharing means American data could be swept into this net, and what ordinary Canadians can actually do before Parliament reconvenes in September 2026. You'll also see how Canada's "AI for All" strategy is in direct tension with its surveillance ambitions — and why Professor Geist says you can't create a fundamental right to privacy in the morning and mandate metadata collection in the afternoon.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 - Intro1:03 - Professor Michael Geist on Bill C-221:57 - Lawful Access and the Surveillance Debate3:22 - Bill C-22 Metadata Retention and Encryption6:17 - Why Metadata Reveals More Than Content8:01 - Police Use Case for Mass Metadata9:24 - Evidence Justifying New Surveillance Powers11:19 - Bill C-22 Supreme Court Challenge Risk12:47 - Five Eyes Data Sharing Concerns14:27 - Global Surveillance Laws in Australia and UK18:12 - Signal Threatens to Exit Canada19:54 - Economic Risks to Canadian Tech Sector20:53 - Privacy Rights Versus Metadata Mandates22:36 - How Canadians Can Push Back on Bill C-2226:47 - Canada's AI for All Strategy Explained31:16 - Digital Sovereignty and Foreign Data Centers37:16 - Gaps in the AI Strategy39:25 - Social Media Age Verification Rules43:39 - Final Thoughts From Professor Geist

The wellness industry loves to push standard PDF diet plans and overnight magic pills, but generalized advice leaves desperate people exhausted and stuck. When the standard medical framework offers few answers for chronic, complex issues, it is easy to assume you have hit a dead end. We sit down with Brynn Davello, a certified functional nutritional therapy practitioner and GAPS practitioner, to break down why true systemic healing requires a completely tailored blueprint rather than a generic routine.We get into the specific tactical shifts required to address chronic issues like autoimmune conditions, fertility struggles, and neurodevelopmental processing differences. Brynn shares her firsthand experience utilizing restrictive elimination protocols to manage severe symptoms, transitioning her family and clients away from highly processed options to dense whole foods. We dive into the concrete connection between blood sugar regulation and daily behavioral shifts, looking specifically at how metabolic crisis impacts focus and energy. You will learn the exact biological limitations of modern wellness trends, including how peptides function under the hood and why they fail long-term without baseline systemic changes.The process of restoring your health requires confronting a few irritating logistics, from learning how to properly source whole foods at the grocery store to tracking your exact intake with an honest food and mood journal. True recovery is built on highly personalized, compounding daily victories rather than intense lifestyle overhauls that you secretly hate. Viewer value comes from understanding that what builds massive energy for someone else might be causing inflammation in your own gut.If you care about metabolic health, long-term vitality, and actionable holistic nutrition, you'll get a lot from this conversation. Subscribe and share to help us get these strategies to more founders and families looking for answers. Let us know in the comments: What is the single biggest habit shift you have made that actually improved your daily energy?

Closing the systemic healthcare gap for First Nations communities requires more than government support; it demands a radical shift toward self-determined, community-led philanthropy. In this conversation, we are joined by Nathania Fung, inaugural CEO, and Dr. Ruth Williams, Board Chair of the First Nations Health Foundation, to explore how they are bridging critical funding and knowledge gaps across British Columbia. By grounding their work in holistic wellness, cultural wisdom, and trust-based relationships, they illustrate how a community-driven approach can accelerate infrastructure development and empower Indigenous leadership. Listeners will gain insights into the necessity of moving beyond traditional funding models, the importance of social determinants in holistic health, and the transformative potential of donor partnerships that honor the unique needs and autonomy of First Nations peoples.

Gary Kusin is a legendary entrepreneur best known as the co-founder and former CEO of GameStop and the executive who led Kinko's through a remarkable turnaround before its $2.4 billion acquisition by FedEx. Over a decades-long career, Gary has built, scaled, and sold multiple businesses while developing a reputation as one of the sharpest strategic thinkers in entrepreneurship. In this episode, Travis shares some of his biggest lessons from Gary's appearance on the show, covering everything from mentorship and hard work to debt management and identifying opportunities in the marketplace. On this episode we talk about: Why finding a market opportunity is often more important than following your passion The role mentors played in Gary's career and how great mentorship can change your trajectory Why hard work and working smart are complementary—not competing—ideas The dangers of debt in seasonal and cyclical businesses How constantly building relationships and maintaining a Plan B creates long-term career security Top 3 Takeaways The best business opportunities often come from identifying unmet market demand rather than pursuing personal passions. Mentorship can dramatically accelerate success, but the most effective mentors are often outside your organization and industry. Staying prepared, building relationships, and keeping your options open creates opportunities long before you need them. Notable Quotes "Find the hole in the market. The passion can stay a hobby." "Luck is what happens when opportunity meets preparedness." "The people who win the most work smarter and harder."

Back in June 2024, we highlighted surprising data from JAMA Network Open regarding adolescent care in the ED. Because many adolescents use the ED as their primary care provider, it's a good opportunity for them to have contraception addressed regardless of why they presented. But that's not what was happening. That publication from two years ago showed significant gaps in addressing contraception in the ED to pregnancy vulnerable young women, mainly teens. We covered those results back then and said that that would be a wonderful QI project for any resident or medical students to work with their hospital ED to improve that. Well, now a similar publication, looking at a different target- STI empiric treatment among pregnant women in the ED, has been published with that same vibe. Yep, there are BIG discrepancies in what pregnant women are given- or in this case, NOT GIVEN, in the ED compared to their nonpregnant peers. This was published in mid-April 2026. Two big questions remain unanswered in this data. Listen in for details. 1. Gottlieb M, Moyer E, Slocum GW, et al.

Summary When a rollout lands badly on the frontline, the cost isn't just lost productivity. It's the people who quietly start looking elsewhere. And it's rarely the people you'd guess. In this episode, Justin talks with Kapil Dua, Associate Director of Change Management and Issues Management at a Fortune 100 company, who has spent over a decade leading large-scale SaaS implementations, including current rollouts impacting more than 20,000 stakeholders. Kapil makes the case that the real downside of a poor change isn't the immediate friction, it's the slow erosion of trust that follows: your strongest performers have options, and when they decide a workplace has a "taxed relationship" with change, they leave. From there, the conversation moves into what actually works at scale. Kapil walks through why he chases down cynics instead of avoiding them, why most change communications fail at the language layer (not the strategy layer), and why the best implementations he's been part of were the ones nobody talked about afterward. He also shares the "two wolves" story, his "right things, for the right reasons, in the right ways" rule, and a memorable line about why ignoring how something feels for the user is like designing toilet paper out of sandpaper, it gets the job done, but it hurts. If you're rolling out anything that touches the frontline this year, this one is worth your time. Key Topics Why the biggest cost of a failed rollout is the best people you didn't realize you were losing The case for being honest when a change will mean more work, not less How to convert cynics into your strongest change champions The "two wolves" story, and why change always feeds the dark wolf first Communication design: writing every message to be misread, not just understood Working through layers of stakeholders when one-on-one isn't possible at 20,000 people Why a great change isn't celebrated, it's seamless The 10:1 ratio: it takes ten good experiences to erase one bad one "How will it feel?" as the question most rollouts skip Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Change Management and Adoption 01:56 The Consequences of Poor Adoption 04:33 Measuring the Impact of Employee Satisfaction 07:32 Generational Perspectives on Work and Change 10:09 Balancing Macro and Microeconomic Perspectives 12:13 The Pressure of Public Companies 15:50 The Importance of Employee Experience 18:19 Aligning Associate Experience with Profitability 20:46 The Emotional Impact of Change 24:44 Filling the Gaps in Communication 25:32 Engaging Skeptics in Change Initiatives 29:40 The Reality of Change and Data Collection 31:32 The Importance of Honesty in Change Management 38:07 Navigating Change at Scale 46:58 Building a Change Network 57:50 The Human Element in Change Implementation Guest Bio Kapil Dua is Associate Director, Change Management and Issues Management at a Fortune 100 company, where he leads enterprise transformation focused on process alignment, operational excellence, and user adoption.

The fashion and textiles industry accounts for up to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, consumes 93 billion cubic meters of water annually, and generates 92 million tons of waste each year — yet only 1% of textiles are recycled back into new products. In this episode, we sit down with three leading experts to unpack one of the most resource-intensive industries on the planet and explore what a genuinely circular textiles sector could look like.We're joined by Mark Sumner, Head of Textiles at WRAP; Sarah Morley, Strategic Engagement Manager at WRAP Americas; and Linda Breggin, Senior Attorney at the Environmental Law Institute. Together, we trace the full lifecycle of a garment from field to landfill, examine fast fashion as a consumer behavior rather than just a retail phenomenon, and explore how circular design, durability standards, voluntary industry agreements, and policy intervention are beginning to reshape the system.Whether you're working in sustainability, environmental policy, waste reduction, or supply chain management, this episode offers both the big-picture framework and the on-the-ground insights you need to understand where the textiles industry is headed — and what it will take to get there.

For years, enterprise AI conversations have centred on chatbots, search assistants, and tools that respond when asked, but that era is ending. A new class of AI system, one that reasons, plans, and takes autonomous action, is moving from the research lab into live production environments. For C-suite leaders, the question is no longer if AI will arrive in their organisations, but whether those organisations are ready for it.In a recent episode of Tech Transformed, host Christina Stathopoulos, founder of Dare to Data, sat down with Cathal McCarthy, Chief Executive Officer of Kore.ai, and Dan Leiva, founder of CXamplify and author of Amplified, to lay out what this shift actually means in practice and why most enterprises are less prepared than they think.Have a look at Artemis, the agent platform from Kore.ai, or you can book a demo.From AI Pilot Projects to ProductionMost large organisations have run AI pilots. Far fewer have moved those pilots into meaningful production at scale. McCarthy and Leiva argue that this gap is not primarily a technology problem. It is a governance and accountability problem.Conversational AI systems, which are the kind that answer questions or generate text, operate within a relatively contained risk envelope. A poorly worded response can be corrected, and a hallucinated answer can be flagged. The stakes, whilst real, are manageable.Agentic AI operates differently. These systems do not simply respond to prompts. They assess situations, make decisions, trigger actions, and in some cases instruct other AI agents or software systems to carry out tasks on their behalf. When something goes wrong in an agentic workflow, the consequences can cascade quickly, across processes, data, customer interactions, and operational outputs.This is why the move from pilot to production represents a fundamentally different risk conversation. As McCarthy puts it, "technology is now a decision-making actor." That framing has significant implications for how enterprises structure ownership, oversight, and accountability around their AI deployments.What Agentic AI Actually Means for Your OrganisationThe term “agentic AI” is often used loosely, so it is important to clarify what it actually means. An agentic system can:Break a complex goal down into sub-tasks without human prompting at each step.Use tools, APIs, databases, and other software to execute those tasks.Adapt its approach based on intermediate results.Operate across extended time horizons without continuous human input.This is meaningfully different from a large language model that generates a report when asked, or a copilot that suggests the next line of code. Agentic systems take initiative, which means it's both their value and their risk.Leiva's book, Amplified, explores how organisations can harness this capability without losing control of it. The central argument is that autonomy is not a binary switch; it is a dial. Organisations need to be deliberate about where they set that dial across use cases, risk profiles, and stages of deployment maturity.A Framework for Smarter AI DecisionsOne of the most practical tools discussed in the episode is the three-class decision model. Rather than treating all AI decisions as equivalent, it asks leaders to classify decisions by consequence and reversibility.The first class covers routine, low-stakes decisions where agentic systems can operate with high autonomy, like scheduling, data routing, and standard customer queries. The second class covers decisions with moderate consequences, where human review should be triggered before action is taken. The third class covers high-stakes decisions where human authority must remain the final step.Mapping AI deployments to this framework is the foundation of a defensible governance structure, one that can satisfy board scrutiny and regulatory requirements simultaneously. It also forces a critical question: who owns the decision about which class a given AI action falls into? That ownership question, the guests argue, is where most enterprise AI programmes currently have a blind spot.The Leadership ImperativeWith that said, the organisations that will benefit most from the agentic era are not necessarily those with the most sophisticated technology. As Leiva writes in Amplified, they are the ones who have thought most carefully about how to deploy that technology in a way that is accountable, adaptable, and aligned with how their people actually work.Boards are already asking harder questions about AI risk. Leaders who can answer them confidently because they have built the governance frameworks and defined the accountability structures will hold a material advantage. For leaders ready to move beyond the pilot stage, McCarthy and Leiva offer grounded guidance.

The conversation around AI often focuses on what the technology can do. But the more important discussion may be what AI is exposing. Across organizations, AI Reality Gaps are appearing everywhere—not because AI is failing, but because it is revealing problems that were already there. Season 28 of Building Better Developers begins with a simple premise: AI is exposing the cracks. For years, companies have carried technical debt, process inefficiencies, undocumented systems, siloed knowledge, and weak decision-making structures. Those issues often remained hidden because people compensated for them. AI changes that equation. Why AI Reality Gaps Are Becoming Visible Many organizations approached AI as a solution. Need faster development? Use AI. Need better documentation? Use AI. Need more productivity? Use AI. The problem is that technology rarely fixes organizational dysfunction. It usually amplifies it. When teams introduce AI into poorly documented systems, AI inherits the confusion. When processes are unclear, AI accelerates inconsistency. When knowledge lives inside one person's head, AI has nothing reliable to learn from. The technology isn't creating new problems. It's making old problems impossible to ignore. AI often functions as an organizational mirror. It reflects existing strengths and weaknesses back to the business. AI Reality Gaps and the Documentation Problem One theme discussed in the season kickoff was the challenge of tribal knowledge. Many organizations operate on information that exists only in the minds of experienced employees. Systems work because certain people know how they work—not because anyone documented them. This model has survived for years because humans are remarkably adaptable. AI is far less forgiving. When an AI system encounters undocumented architecture, unclear workflows, or missing business rules, it cannot compensate with institutional memory. The result is often inaccurate recommendations, incomplete solutions, or confidence built on bad assumptions. The introduction of AI forces organizations to ask a difficult question: Do we actually understand our own systems? AI Reality Gaps Expose Process Weaknesses One of the most dangerous assumptions in technology is that speed automatically creates value. AI makes it easier to generate code, reports, summaries, and recommendations. But generating output faster doesn't improve the quality of decisions behind that output. Organizations that already have disciplined processes benefit enormously. Organizations without those foundations simply create bad outcomes faster. This creates a new reality for leaders: Success with AI depends less on the tool and more on the maturity of the systems surrounding it. Accelerating a broken process rarely fixes it. It usually increases the cost of failure. The Difference Between Automation and Understanding The season kickoff highlighted examples where AI produced misleading conclusions because it was given incomplete or poorly timed data. This is an important lesson. AI does not possess magical understanding. It processes the information it receives and generates conclusions based on that information. If the inputs are flawed, the outputs will be flawed. This reality shifts responsibility back to the people using the technology. The critical question becomes: Are we using AI to replace thinking, or are we using it to improve thinking? Organizations that treat AI as a decision-support system will generally outperform those that treat it as a decision-maker. Building Stronger Foundations Before Scaling AI As AI becomes embedded in software development, leadership, operations, and product management, foundational disciplines become more valuable—not less. Teams need: Better documentation Clearer ownership Consistent workflows Strong communication Shared understanding of business goals These capabilities may not feel innovative, but they create the conditions where innovation can thrive. AI rewards organizations that already know how to operate effectively. It punishes organizations that hoped technology would replace operational excellence. Identify one process your team relies on that exists primarily through tribal knowledge. Document it this week. The Future Isn't About More AI The future isn't simply about adding more AI. It's about creating organizations capable of using AI effectively. The companies that succeed won't necessarily be the ones with the most advanced tools. They'll be the ones with the strongest foundations. AI isn't exposing new problems. It's exposing old problems at a scale and speed we've never experienced before. Conclusion The biggest lesson from the Season 28 kickoff is that AI is not a shortcut around organizational discipline. Instead, it shines a spotlight on the areas businesses have neglected for years. The organizations that recognize and address these AI Reality Gaps today will be the ones best positioned to thrive tomorrow. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community

Martin comes at nine in the morning with a folder and a detective inspector's name. Nora is ready. The evidence the other Nora assembled — the paint sample, the repair records, the accident report, Alan Birch's signed statement — is enough to reopen the investigation. What follows takes fourteen months: interviews, challenges, a second witness who had assumed she was mistaken. She was not mistaken. Geoffrey Peel is convicted. Deborah's mother takes Nora's hand outside the court and says something that changes the shape, if not the weight, of what Nora carries. The gaps grow smaller. The journal fills with ordinary days. She stands on the Thornfield road in the frost and says Deborah's name, and the silence that comes back is the right kind.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

This episode breaks down the most important flight training, regulatory, safety, and career updates affecting pilots and instructors in 2026. We begin with the FAA's upcoming knowledge test changes, including the removal of public supplement books and the introduction of embedded, variable images inside the online test environment. The first major change is scheduled for the Instrument Rating knowledge test on October 27, 2026, with other tests expected to follow. We also discuss the current airline hiring slowdown and why students should avoid stopping their training just because the market feels uncertain. Aviation hiring has always moved in cycles, and pilots who continue building certificates, staying current, and networking are often better prepared when opportunities return. The episode then moves into practical thunderstorm-season flying in South Florida. We talk about afternoon airmass thunderstorms, local timing patterns, radar interpretation, lightning, rain shafts, microburst risk, and why avoiding thunderstorms is not just a recommendation — it is a survival decision. You'll also hear about the upcoming 300th Power Hour, a major milestone for CFI Bootcamp's weekly aviation education community, along with the release of the new CFI Aeronautical Knowledge Gaps Course, built to help CFI applicants master the difficult areas many initial CFI programs miss. We close with practical CFI ProTips covering aircraft handling on the ground, tow bar discipline, and how to understand glide range using real-world sight picture. This is flight training discussed honestly and practically — from an instructor's perspective, with a focus on understanding, safety, and long-term success.

In this solo episode, Lisa breaks down the findings of a large cross-sectional study analyzing nutrient intake data from just under 4,000 women aged 18 to 44, drawn from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The study compared dietary intake between women who self-reported infertility — defined as difficulty conceiving for at least one year — and women who had conceived within a 12-month period. Researchers examined 21 nutrients across both food-only and food-plus-supplement intake, revealing that women experiencing infertility had measurably lower intakes of several nutrients known to play a role in reproductive health, including vitamin A (retinol), vitamin E, vitamin K, lutein and zeaxanthin, selenium, vitamin C, and calcium. Lisa highlights that these nutritional gaps were significantly more pronounced in women between the ages of 35 and 44, a population commonly seen in fertility-focused clinical practice.  Follow this link to view the full show notes page!

Climate surveys used by the War Department like the Defense Organizational Climate Survey (DEOCS) are annual check-ins to assess unit morale, cohesion and leadership trust. Traditionally, these surveys take a long time to gather and analyze by leadership. A pair of Marine Corps innovators told AI GovCast that they've created a new AI–enabled survey tool prototype that is designed to give commanders near‑real‑time insight the day‑to‑day stressors affecting Marines. The prototype, called PULSE Check, aims to close long‑standing feedback gaps that leaders say contribute to retention problems — particularly in the reserve component. Col. Prescott Wilson, chief of staff for the 4th Marine Logistics Group, said the idea emerged after a commanders' conference where Marines explained why they were leaving drilling status for the Individual Ready Reserve. "By the time we're talking to these Marines on stage, they've already made a decision … that's talent we can't get back," Wilson said. Lt. Col. Samuel Sung, an innovation officer with the Logistics Innovation Office and a Marine reservist who co‑developed the prototype, said the team deliberately focused first on whether the idea was even useful before tackling the complex security and compliance requirements of deploying AI inside the department. He added that AI-driven analysis enables more frequent surveys and faster feedback cycles, allowing commanders to test changes and measure results monthly instead of annually. That accelerated process, Sung said, can improve decision-making while also reinforcing to Marines that their feedback is being heard.

Stephanie Broussard, Director of Social Work at Thyme Care, describes a model of interdisciplinary social support for cancer patients to increase access to medical services and address social, emotional, and financial challenges. Integrated services target family dynamics, social determinants of health, and building trust to drive better patient outcomes. As cancer increasingly becomes a chronic condition, there is a growing need to support the management of long-term physical and emotional effects and use technology to increase efficiency and support the Thyme Care human-focused approach. Stephanie explains, "Thyme Care is really designed to try to integrate and increase access for those navigating cancers. So we believe that in order to serve people really well, you don't take things away, you actually add things. If we can increase access and increase the ability for patients to navigate the health system, then we're able to better navigate their utilization. So we try to increase access through access to an interdisciplinary team. We have nurse practitioners, nurses, even oncologists and primary care physicians on our team, social workers, and lay people who help us make sure that patients can get what they need at the right time. And so it's really about giving patients access to the right services at the right time to improve their outcomes."   "We think about how their cancer impacts every facet of their life. And so, we often talk a lot about the financial toxicity of cancer, but social issues that were affecting folks don't just stop because cancer happened. Oftentimes, it even exacerbates those things. So think about family dynamics, think about social determinants of health, like the cost of medications and access, but also all the other things that can be impacted by cancer." #ThymeCare #ValueBasedCare #SocialWorkMonth #OncologySocialWork #MentalHealthMatters #CaregiverSupport #PatientExperience #HealthEquity #OncologyCare #ValueBasedCare #CareCoordination #SocialDeterminantsOfHealth #SDoH #CancerSurvivorship #Caregivers #NurseNavigation #PalliativeCare thymecare.com Download the transcript here
