"Part of your training program for new hires is to look at these situations and say this is going to happen, and here's the answer. Here's what we say and here's what we do." NOTABLE MOMENTS 00:43 The Legacy of Harris Rosen 02:50 Handling Customer Expectations in Uncontrollable Customer Experiences 07:48 Prepare for Unforeseen Events By Controlling What You Can, like Schedules and Production. 12:32 Creating and Preserving Memorable Experiences. 13:19 Customer Service Resourcesa at cockerellstore.com If there's one thing we've learned over the years, it's that even the best-laid plans can get derailed by Mother Nature. At Disney, we navigated our fair share of weather-related challenges. While you may not be able to control the atmosphere, you can control how you respond. First, it is important to take a moment to acknowledge the incredible legacy of Harris Rosen. He has left an indelible mark on Orlando through his work and philanthropy. His example is a testament to how one person can make a massive difference, even in unpredictable circumstances. There are many times in customer service that you cannot guess what is going to happen. A listener recently shared a challenge they were having at a zoo. Guests sometimes miss seeing the animals due to weather or other uncontrollable factors. This situation isn't too far removed from what we've faced at Disney. From rain showers at the Magic Kingdom to animals deciding to stay hidden, guests like to be able to see what they plan for. The key is preparing your staff for the moments that aren't what guests anticipate and making sure they know how to provide excellent service recovery. Handling these situations boils down to a few core principles: empathetic apologies, good training, and sometimes offering compensation like return visit tickets. As Jody and I highlighted, excellent customer service even in less-than-ideal conditions can leave a lasting positive impression. Your team should know how to handle those complaints effectively, leaning on recovery strategies we've talked about before. Remember, you can't control the weather or animal behavior, but you can control your response to disappointed guests. And, that often makes all the difference in turning a potentially negative experience into a memorable one. Keep creating magic in all that you do, even when Mother Nature throws a curveball.

Over 12 years ago, Casey Anthony walked out of the Orange County jail a free woman. Much of the country watched her murder trial play out on live TV, including the moment the jury found her not guilty, but there were some things happening behind the scenes that you didn't see. The judge at the center of it all, Belvin Perry, joined the hosts of Florida's Fourth Estate to share the experience from his perspective. This includes his thoughts on how Anthony's defense team was able to get her acquitted of first-degree murder in the death of her daughter Caylee Anthony. “Jose Baez, at the time, probably wasn't the sharpest person on the evidence code, but he was well prepared, and he did something that good lawyers do,” Perry said. “Once you determine the makeup of the 12 people in that jury, he tailored his case to fit them. It's just like a great football coach. You go into any game with a gameplan, but you must make adjustments and Baez made those adjustments and he learned how to play to the jury.” The jury was made up of seven women and five men who had to be sequestered for the full length of the trial. Perry said it was a lot of work dealing with a case that would last six to eight weeks with jurors that had to be holed up in a hotel room, but added that the Central Florida community helped to lighten the load. He said the media agreed on the best way to cover the trial and when they found out the jury was staying at Rosen Shingle Creek, “they did not publish it, we had no problem with them following jurors.” He said Harris Rosen also bent over backward to make sure the jurors were well taken care of while being sequestered. “Harris Rosen was just tremendous when we talked to him,” Perry said. “He gave us an excellent deal on the rooms, gave us everything we wanted — even structured the meal prices to fit into the per diem, which is unheard of. They even changed the locks on the doors on the stairwell on the floor that they were on you couldn't access it from the outside.” Perry said there were also times when the pool and exercise facilities were shut down so the jurors could use them uninterrupted. The TVs were also adjusted so the jurors could not watch news shows. Towards the end of the trial, with so many people interested in the case, Perry said the jurors were down to only three channels they could watch. To better cater to the jury, Perry said each one was allowed to have one visitor on the weekends. “They could come on Saturday afternoons, they just had to be out by midnight,” Perry said. The judge had to deal with some fallout from the trial as well. That includes becoming, what felt like, an overnight celebrity. “One day we got out of court and for whatever reason I went by Ross on Michigan and I went in there and I was looking for a picture frame,” Perry said. “When I got home my daughter called me. She said, ‘Daddy someone recorded you in Ross and they posted it on Facebook.'” It didn't end there. Perry said people approached him about the case everywhere he went. Once, a group of people even started recording him while he was eating dinner. “I had to stop going to the grocery store. If I did go eat, I had to eat at certain places where I could be left alone. I couldn't go anywhere,” he said. Still, he said the trial was a great experience for himself and the community. “I think it opened up to the world how the judicial system works,” Perry said. “You got a chance to see firsthand. Most people didn't agree with the outcome of the case, but at least they saw what happened and I think it is very important that courts that are open to the public, that the public gets to see it firsthand.” To hear more about Perry's experience serving as the judge on the Casey Anthony murder trial check out Florida's Fourth Estate.

They also discuss his notable philanthropic work, which includes early childhood education and cancer research initiatives as well as his storied ‘adoption' of the Tangelo Park neighborhood in Orlando.

You are about to be inspired and challenged about how you think about value-based care. Since 1991, Rosen Hotels & Resorts has offered an innovative in-house healthcare program called RosenCare that has been improving lives for employees and the community, as well as saved the company approximately $450 million since its inception. Our guests this week are Harris Rosen, businessman, investor and philanthropist who founded Rosen Hotels & Resorts and serves as the company's president and COO; Kenneth Aldridge, Director of Health Services for Rosen Medical Center, the onsite medical home and primary care ecosystem; and Ashley Bacot, President of Provinsure, an independent insurance consulting arm owned by Rosen. The takeaways from this conversation are multi-faceted and can be applied to ACOs, health plans, and employers. This interview will allow you to re-think how local community engagement and partnerships fit into your healthcare strategy. RosenCare's approach will force you to reconsider how you approach access, quality, service, costs, innovation. Saving costs and improving lives, this model is ripe for replication and needs to become the norm in our race to value. In the words of Mr. Rosen, “We need to, as a nation, build a much better health system. If we replicated the RosenCare program nationally, we would save over a trillion dollars annually!  Let's use that money to pay off our national debt.

Friends,You are going to hear a remarkable case study about a successful and sustained philanthropic initiative focused on educating disadvantaged youth. Although outside of the strict domain of healthcare delivery, this initiative is actually about the health & well-being of our communities and our country - education being a significant social determinant of health outcomes.Joining us in this interview are Harris Rosen, President & COO of Rosen Hotels & Resorts, Dr. Chuck Dziuban, and JuaNita Reed.  Dr. Dziuban is the Coordinator of The Harris Rosen Foundation educational programs for the University of Central Florida. He is in charge of maintaining the research and statistics of the Tangelo Park Program.  JuaNita Reed is a recently retired guidance counselor at Dr. Phillips High School. She has mentored the scholarship recipients in the program and continues to lead that aspect of the program in her new role as Scholarship Coordinator of The Harris Rosen Foundation.In this episode, we’ll discover:The key components contributing to the success & 26-year sustainability of the Tangelo Park Program.The profound educational outcomes & remarkable impact it’s had on the community - for example, dropping the crime rate by ~80%!Mr. Rosen’s vision for spreading the Tangelo Park Program to the rest of the country.Since 1994, Harris Rosen and his colleagues have funded a Pre-K program and a full college scholarship in a small, disadvantaged community. Although the solution is simple, the success is startling. Also startling is how this program has not only sustained itself but has activated the youth and catalyzed the parents in the community. Over the years, families have required and requested less of the Rosen funding, as they’ve been acquiring more college scholarships on their own. Another critical point to understand is that this approach is reversing an insidious, self-perpetuating driver of financial disparity & inequity in educational opportunity.If you live in the bottom economic quartile in this country, your chance of graduating from college is 11%. The odds against you are 9:1. The total college debt in the USA is $1.7 Trillion dollars. Most of this college debt is carried by the bottom economic quartile in this country, and by Black youth. It is a compounding problem which perpetuates a cycle of debt and the suppression of upward mobility, largely in the Black & LatinX populations. One of the brilliant things that the Tangelo Park Program does is break this cycle of educational debt and upward social mobility. The evidence for that - well, for starters, the Tangelo Park program has reversed the odds of these kids graduating college, from 9:1 against, to 3:1 in favor!  Further evidence - over 160 Tangelo Park youth have graduated from college. That is 3 times the expected number, which would have been 45. In addition, the program has resulted in 227 degrees, including post-graduate degrees. There’s also a positive economic impact to the community. Lance Lochner, an economist at the University of Western Ontario, recently calculated a 7:1 return to the community.Harris Rosen's program is catalyzing the tremendous intellectual talents, capabilities and potential in our disadvantaged youth, particularly in Black & LatinX youth. He understands that a college or vocational school education leads to employment, financial stability, and significantly higher life-time earnings. Those are well substantiated facts. At one point in the discussion, Chuck Dziuban refers to a recently published landmark study which has demonstrated that a Preschool (Pre-K) education positively and cumulatively transforms an individual’s entire life, with ripple effects on the lives of their children & grandchildren. I suspect that you will be as moved as I was by this story. But Harris is asking for more. Harris Rosen is calling for action. His vision is that every underserved community in this country be adopted by philanthropists, Boards and C-suites. Toward the end of the interview, Harris implores us, “What I would like to hear and see more of is people who not only say that black lives matter, but people who are inclined to do something about it. Here’s a program with nearly 30 years of extraordinary success. All somebody has to do who cares about Black lives, LatinX lives, the lives of our youth - is ask how we did it.”  If reversing the cycle of educational & economic inequity in our country is important to you, then please share this interview with others - especially those who are in a position to replicate the Tangelo Park Program. Until next time, be safe and be well.Zeev Neuwirth, MD

Friends,What if I told you that I just learned of a completely doable and replicable approach to reducing the costs of healthcare by 30 - 50% while increasing quality outcomes simultaneously?  In this interview we’ll be speaking with an employer that has been achieving this for years. Corporate America - which pays for 50% of all healthcare costs - has been the “sleeping giant” of healthcare. But these giants are now waking up and they're not going to put up with the status quo. One particular employer has been awake for decades, and we’re going to hear his story told in some detail.  Joining us in this interview are Harris Rosen, President & COO of Rosen Hotels & Resorts; Ashley Bacot, President of Provinsure (the health insurance company that Rosen Hotels formed; and Kenneth Aldridge Jr, RN, BSN, MS-HSA, the Director of Health Services at the Rosen Medical Center and RosenCare. In this episode, we’ll discover:The simple but widely successful approach that Mr. Rosen and his colleagues have taken to achieve the triple aim results of better care, better outcomes & lower costs. Some of the key programs and critical success factors that have contributed to Rosen Hotels having sustained healthcare savings of over 30% for decades. How ProvInsure and the Osceola County School District have replicated the model with remarkable savings and outcomes. Mr. Rosen’s vision for spreading the RosenCare model to the rest of the country.Each podcast interview is an adventure for me. To really listen well, I have to allow myself to be surprised. I have to allow myself to think differently and to experience uncomfortable emotions that my guests elicit. In this interview, I found myself surprised with almost every turn of the dialogue.  First, having worked within our overly complicated US healthcare system for decades, I was really knocked back on my heels by the simplicity of Mr. Rosen’s approach to healthcare.  It was almost too simple and too obvious; which led me to the second surprise.  The emotional dialectic I experienced was embarrassment on one side and inspiration on the other.  I was embarrassed and inspired on behalf of the American healthcare system. Here is a guy - Mr. Harris Rosen - with no medical, healthcare or technical background, and he figured it out. I was embarrassed and inspired because here is a leader who did not compromise on what he knew to be the right thing to do for his employees. I was embarrassed and inspired because Harris Rosen had the conviction, commitment and courage to do the things that we all know will radically improve healthcare.I imagine you’re wondering what Harris Rosen and his colleagues have done. There are a number of ways I could explain it. The simplest way is to tell you that he’s inverted the American healthcare system. RosenCare spends the vast majority of its funding on Primary Care, not specialty care; and makes primary care accessible, convenient, affordable and equitable. RosenCare follows its associates throughout the continuum of care to create a more seamless and integrated experience; and promotes and even imposes the principles of public health by making it a requirement to follow certain healthful behaviors.  For example - nicotine use, alcohol consumption affecting “fit for duty” and illegal drug use are not allowable if you’re going to be a Rosen associate. I’ll share one other emotion I felt as I was listening to the RosenCare story. I felt validated. Having practiced primary care for decades and having been a primary care proponent for over 3 decades, the RosenCare story demonstrates what we have known, and what the literature has repeatedly substantiated. Investing in proactive, preventive primary care leads to better care, better outcomes and lower costs. This is a lesson, sadly, that has not been widely supported or manifested within the American healthcare system.One final thought. The RosenCare story reveals the power of a caring, loving community. I didn’t know how to describe it as I was listening, but RosenCare felt a little bit like a ‘tough love’ healthcare community. They haven’t just built an exceptional healthcare benefits program or an outstanding employer healthcare approach. What they’ve done is to reframe the transactional and individualistic medical mindset into one that is relational and community oriented. RosenCare’s fundamental principles are about caring, not coding.  Until next time, be safe and be well.Zeev Neuwirth, MD
