The title of Elizabeth Roberts' new book, In Praise of Addiction, is likely to catch your attention, maybe even set off some cognitive dissonance in your mind. But the University of Michigan's Elizabeth Roberts doesn't want you to be unhealthy or take up new habits that can hurt you and others, she just wants you to consider that maybe we haven't been looking at addiction with the clearest of eyes. Why are some substances and habits tolerated and others scorned, their users told by society to abstain and isolated until they do? In her time living in Mexico, she noticed a big difference between people who drank or did drugs to cut themselves off from society versus those who used substances to connect with one another. She offers her analysis on how this was impacted by NAFTA and the War on Drugs in Mexico and puritanism and capitalism in the United States. This is a complicated issue but it's pretty healthy to challenge assumptions and to take a look at how those assumptions came to be established in the first place.

Eric Criscuolo, NYSE Market Strategist, recaps a volatile week as the S&P 500 declined amid weakness across mega-cap and AI-linked names. A growing divide within the AI trade emerged, with hyperscalers and software under pressure while memory and chip suppliers saw sharp swings. Despite index weakness, market internals held firm, with eight sectors higher and small caps outperforming. Rotation into Healthcare and Financials accelerated alongside falling oil prices, easing yields, and shifting Fed expectations. Focus now turns to quarter-end flows, key data including payrolls, and evolving AI spending trends.

This episode recorded live at the Becker's Rural Health Leadership Summit features Dallas Killian, Chief Operating Officer, East Adams Rural Healthcare. He discusses guiding a rural hospital through financial challenges, the importance of transparency and community trust, and how empowering teams to help solve problems can create sustainable paths forward during times of uncertainty.

What happens to the entire product development process when creating software becomes as easy as creating a Google Doc? In this episode of the CPO Rising Series hosted by Products That Count Resident CPO Jay Patel, Cartwheel CPO Sarah Turrin speaks on how the collapse of software costs is reshaping healthcare product leadership, why the era of CPOs as pure strategists is already over, and how she thinks about deploying AI in healthcare environments where a probabilistic model simply cannot be unleashed on patients without deterministic guardrails. Thirty days into her role at one of the nation's largest K-12 mental health platforms, Sarah brings a rare combination of clinical sensitivity, technical fluency, and genuine urgency about what product leaders need to do right now.

Healthcare providers and patients often feel frustrated, burned out, and powerless... but what if they're not actually fighting each other? In this episode, I sit down with returning guest Jordan Grumet, MD, hospice physician, author, and host of the Earn & Invest podcast, to discuss his new book, The Healthcare Heist. Jordan argues that many of the challenges facing healthcare today aren't caused by clinicians or patients, but by third-party entities whose incentives often conflict with both. We discuss the "culpability myth" that has led clinicians to become scapegoats for systemic problems, the rise of insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, private equity, and electronic medical records, and how these forces have contributed to what Jordan calls the "intimacy gap" between providers and patients as well as rising healthcare costs. Most importantly, we explore how clinicians and patients can work together to rebuild trust, strengthen relationships, and advocate for meaningful change. In this episode, you'll learn:• What the culpability myth is and how it impacts healthcare providers• How third-party interests influence patient care• Why healthcare costs continue to rise• The unintended consequences of electronic medical records• What the intimacy gap is and why it matters• How shared storytelling can help clinicians and patients become allies again• Why financial independence and career optionality may give clinicians more freedom to advocate for change Whether you're a physician associate, physician, nurse practitioner, nurse, therapist, other healthcare team member, or patient, this conversation will challenge the way you think about healthcare and who is really responsible for the problems facing the system today.

Why do so many retirees struggle to spend money they've spent decades saving? Don and Tom explore the psychology behind retirement spending, including the fear of running out of money, the reluctance to touch principal, and how guaranteed income sources like Social Security, pensions, and even simple immediate annuities can make retirees more comfortable enjoying their wealth. They discuss practical strategies for creating spending confidence, the importance of comprehensive retirement planning, and why delaying meaningful experiences can be riskier than spending. The episode also answers a listener question about setting up a Roth IRA for a teenager and examines the latest uncertainty surrounding 529-to-Roth transfers.0:05 Introduction: Why retirees struggle to spend money they can afford to spend1:36 Fear of running out versus fear of missing out in retirement2:52 Why even millionaires worry about spending their savings3:51 The saver mentality and the challenge of switching to spending mode4:47 Research shows many retirees barely touch their nest eggs5:29 YOLO, aging, and the reality of declining mobility later in life6:02 Why retirees prefer spending Social Security, dividends, and interest over principal8:04 Travel, aging, and the danger of postponing experiences8:49 Creating confidence through retirement planning9:56 Using Social Security and RMDs to cover essential expenses10:12 Flexible withdrawal strategies for retirement spending11:39 Could a simple immediate annuity help retirees spend more confidently?12:42 Healthcare costs, aging, and changing spending patterns13:30 Recency bias and how it distorts retirement decisions14:48 Why lifelong savers have trouble becoming spenders16:27 Summer slowdown and a request for more listener questions17:58 Listener question: Setting up a Roth IRA for a 19-year-old daughter19:16 Evaluating Avantis ETFs and M1 Finance for a young investor19:48 Why a single-fund solution may be better for small accounts20:56 The importance of emerging markets exposure22:40 Understanding 529-to-Roth IRA transfer rules24:33 The unanswered question of beneficiary changes and the 15-year ruleQuestions?

Healthcare innovation is often associated with software developers, startup founders, and technology companies. But what if some of the most important solutions to healthcare's biggest challenges are sitting inside operating rooms, classrooms, and clinical settings every day? CRNAs and nurses see problems firsthand, yet they are rarely invited into the rooms where solutions are created. In this episode, Sharon and Jeremy welcome nurse entrepreneur Rebecca Love, RN, MSN, FIEL and AANA Senior Innovation Specialist Cherissa Jackson to discuss the upcoming AANA Hackathon at the AANA Annual Congress. This event creates a space for clinicians, educators, students, and innovators to collaborate and develop solutions for the daily challenges CRNAs see firsthand.

This morning, former U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo launched RAISE US, an initiative to directly confront what she calls America's missing piece: a people strategy to match its technology strategy. Raimondo joins Rapid Response to explain how she built a $500 million war chest, secured bipartisan backing, and signed up launch partners from Bank of America to Anthropic before the ink was dry. She also makes the case against the two most popular answers to AI displacement — slowing down development and Universal Basic Income, and explains why neither will actually work. What will? A collective reinvention of how America trains, transitions, and values its workers. The window, she warns, is narrower than most people think.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We're back with another episode of Schauer Thoughts and this week we're taking a brief trip through the Carter Administration to explore it's ties to the agricultural industry and how that could've impacted women's health research for years to come. For legal purposes, this is all a hunch, a guess, and of course, *alleged* and I strongly recommend checking out the resources when this wraps. I hope you find this episode illuminating.

Your health plan might be robbing you blind. The fun part? You may be paying someone to let it happen. Healthcare benefits are one of the biggest expenses for small business owners, and most employers are stuck playing a game where the rules are hidden, the prices move, and somehow the bill always gets worse. In this episode of The Liquid Lunch Project, hosts Matthew R. Meehan and Luigi Rosabianca sit down with Donovan Ryckis, CEO of Ethos Benefits, to rip the lid off employer-sponsored healthcare. Donovan breaks down why insurance costs keep rising, how brokers can create conflicts of interest, why pharmacy benefit managers deserve a long side-eye, and how small businesses can start asking much better questions before renewal season punches them in the face.  

“Healthcare, in my opinion, is the ultimate team sport.” I love this quote from today's guest. And it reminds me that patient experience is not just about the patient; it starts with every member of that patient's care team. If they do not feel respected, trusted, and valued, it will absolutely impact the experience of their patients. Brian Carlson, VP of Patient Experience of Vanderbilt Health, knows that trickle down effect all too well. And, as a result, he's been building the patient experience at that organization from the inside out.  The outcome? Year-over-year improvement in patient experience scores. Over 80% participation in voluntary patient experience training.  Three times over having the organization vote “YES!” to continue this type of training.  Experience matters, and Brian has the data to prove it.  Brian Carlson leads enterprise strategy for patient experience, workforce culture, and digital engagement across the 40,000-person Vanderbilt Health system. Brian's work focuses on the intersection of culture, operations, and technology, including AI-enabled approaches to experience management and patient engagement at scale. He has led major initiatives in patient access, digital health adoption, and workforce culture transformation.

In today's business world, we're often told that success comes from being tougher, louder, more aggressive, and willing to outwork or outmaneuver everyone around us. But what if that advice is wrong?On this episode of Late Night Health, Mark Alyn sits down with public relations executive, entrepreneur, and bestselling author Amy Summers to explore a different path to success—one built on mentorship, leadership, and helping others rise.Amy's new book, Lift: 10 Mentorship Touchpoints to Empower Your Team and Accelerate Your Own Career, challenges the old-school belief that success is a zero-sum game. Instead, she argues that leaders who invest in others often discover that their own careers grow faster as a result.Drawing on more than two decades of building teams and mentoring young professionals, Amy shares the lessons she's learned about developing talent, creating healthy workplace cultures, and why kindness and accountability can coexist. She explains why toxic leadership still exists, why so many people stay trapped in unhealthy work environments, and how a new generation of leaders can create something better.The conversation also explores the rapidly changing world of technology, media, and communications. Amy discusses how mentoring can help leaders stay relevant, why picking up the phone is becoming a competitive advantage again, and how meaningful relationships remain the foundation of successful public relations and business growth.Along the way, Mark and Amy share stories from a friendship and professional relationship that spans more than three decades, creating an engaging and often humorous conversation packed with practical insights for professionals at every stage of their careers.Whether you're a business owner, manager, entrepreneur, mentor, mentee, or simply someone looking for a better way to succeed, this episode offers a refreshing reminder: helping others succeed may be one of the smartest career moves you'll ever make.Watch, listen, and discover why lifting others up might be the key to lifting yourself higher.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/late-night-health-radio--2804369/support.

In this episode, Laura Dyrda, Vice President, Editor-in-Chief, Becker's Healthcare, shares key themes emerging from conversations with healthcare CEOs and CFOs, including access to care, financial sustainability, workforce resilience, and policy advocacy.

In this Season 6 executive summary episode of the Wealth Planning for the Modern Physician Podcast, host David Mandell reflects on the major themes, conversations, and lessons shared throughout the season. David explains the structure of the podcast's academic calendar format and previews the upcoming Summer Rewind series, which revisits standout episodes from prior seasons. He then walks listeners through each episode of the season, highlighting important insights and lessons from all 20 episodes. By summarizing each episode from the season, this episode serves as both a roadmap for listeners looking to revisit episodes they may have missed and a reminder of the practical strategies, red flags, and opportunities physicians should consider as they navigate modern medical careers. Insights Covered in Season 6: Private practice compensation models are evolving to better align with the priorities of younger physicians entering medicine.  Entrepreneurship in healthcare can create significant opportunities, but it also introduces operational, financial, and emotional risks. Asset protection planning requires ongoing maintenance and discipline rather than a one-time legal setup. Artificial intelligence is already improving workflow efficiency and reducing administrative burden in clinical practice. Physician burnout often requires both operational changes and personal reinvention strategies to address effectively. Healthcare mergers, acquisitions, and private equity activity continue to reshape the physician practice landscape. Financial literacy and business education can dramatically improve a physician's ability to make informed career decisions. Peer review processes and workplace conflicts can have major professional and financial consequences if handled improperly. Real estate investments can be beneficial for physicians, but leverage and market timing carry meaningful risks. Strong mentorship, networking, and community support remain essential throughout every stage of a physician's career.

Mark Clermont is the CEO of Cecelia Health, and Wendi Mader is the company's Chief Commercial Officer. Cecelia is a virtual multi-specialty medical practice, licensed in all 50 states, that helps employers, payers, health systems, and life sciences companies manage chronic and cardiometabolic disease and bring down the cost of care. It's not a point solution. It's a medical practice that prescribes and manages medication (including GLP-1s, from prescribing through titration and side-effect management), runs intensive nutrition therapy, and handles behavior and lifestyle care, all through a team of RNs, RDs, certified diabetes educators, and physicians. The model is built to extend primary care, not replace it, and to coordinate across specialists instead of adding one more disconnected program.Mark and Wendi's argument is simple: chronic disease isn't winning because we lack apps or tools. It's winning because care is fragmented and nobody's tying it together. GLP-1s are making that worse before they make it better.

The Big Unlock · Julie Demaree, VP, Chief Technology and Digital Innovation Officer, St. Mary's Healthcare In this episode, Julie Demaree, Vice President and Chief Technology and Digital Innovation Officer at St. Mary’s Healthcare, shares a pragmatic approach to digital transformation in rural healthcare, where innovation is driven by operational realities rather than technology hype. A former physician assistant turned technology executive, Julie argues that successful innovation begins with culture, governance, and clinician engagement, not new tools. She discusses how St. Mary's has improved patient safety and clinician experience by rethinking clinical decision support, reducing alert fatigue through careful curation, and involving frontline clinicians in governance decisions. Julie also highlights the importance of optimizing existing technology before investing in new solutions, noting that many organizations overlook capabilities already available within their EHRs. Julie sees significant potential for automation and agentic AI to reduce administrative burden, improve patient access, and help lean teams operate more effectively. She emphasizes that AI adoption must be accompanied by strong governance, user education, and critical thinking. Her message is clear: innovation is not about adding more technology, it's about solving the right problems, eliminating unnecessary work, and building systems that better support patients, clinicians, and communities.

This episode of The Rizzuto Show comedy podcast starts with a little festival chaos because apparently getting into a concert now requires knowing how electronic tickets work, not bringing a bowling bag, and understanding that your entire family doesn't need to crowd the entrance gate.Then things somehow get even weirder.The gang dives into a story about singles planning their entire summers around finding love during the World Cup. Yes, people are spending thousands of dollars to travel to host cities in hopes of meeting attractive international soccer fans. Is it genius? Is it desperate? Is it both? We investigate.Then we hit the topic that apparently determines the fate of modern relationships: your car.A new survey claims your vehicle is basically a rolling personality test, and if you've got old fast-food bags, mystery smells, sticky seats, or enough trash to require excavation equipment, your dating life might be over before it starts. Rizz explains why snacks in his car are practically forbidden, Lern reveals she judges used cars by dust levels alone, and Moon shares why a clean car genuinely improves his mood. Along the way, we discuss greasy fries, rogue blueberries, mystery substances in Ubers, and the sacred ritual of gas station trash disposal.Because this is a comedy podcast, the conversation naturally takes a hard turn into relationship statistics and the occupations with the highest divorce rates. Healthcare workers, telemarketers, bus drivers, massage therapists, correctional officers, and casino workers all make appearances on the list. Somehow we also end up discussing actuaries, risk assessment, and why nerds apparently have the marriage thing figured out.It's another episode where absolutely nothing goes according to plan, every topic somehow spirals into complete chaos, and everyone leaves with at least one new thing to overthink.This comedy podcast has everything: concert mayhem, dating strategies, car-cleaning interventions, weird surveys, relationship statistics, and the kind of sarcastic conversations that make absolutely no sense until you're thirty minutes in and laughing anyway.Because around here, even a discussion about floor mats can become an adventure.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Healthcare is one of the biggest unknowns in any FIRE plan. If you're considering early retirement, self-employment, or leaving a traditional job, understanding health insurance costs could save you thousands of dollars per year and prevent costly planning mistakes. In this episode, we break down the Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance, premium tax credits, MAGI planning, and how healthcare costs vary by state. We also walk through a healthcare cost estimator tool that can help you project future expenses and build a more resilient financial independence plan.

Elizabeth Warren is at it again. The Massachusetts senator is pushing legislation that should alarm anyone who believes in free markets, private investment, and access to healthcare. Most importantly, it should concern patients. Warren's so-called "Stop Corporate Crimes Against Healthcare Act" is being marketed as a way to protect Americans from corporate abuse. In reality, it threatens private investment and could accelerate hospital closures, particularly in rural communities. The most troubling part of the bill is simple: prison. Warren wants new criminal penalties for healthcare executives and investors based on government determinations about business decisions. The legislation would also allow officials to claw back compensation years after the fact. Think about that. Invest in healthcare and you could become the next political target. That's not accountability. That's intimidation. What's especially troubling is that Warren repeatedly conflates private equity firms with Real Estate Investment Trusts, known as REITs. The two are not the same. Private equity firms buy and manage companies. REITs own real estate. In healthcare, REITs often purchase hospital properties and lease them back to operators. This allows hospitals to unlock capital tied up in real estate and reinvest it into patient care, equipment, technology, and expansion. REITs don't run hospitals. They don't hire doctors. They don't fire nurses. They don't make patient care decisions. They own buildings and provide capital. For decades, this financing model has helped hospitals remain open and expand services. It is widely used throughout the American economy. Yet Warren wants Americans to believe these property owners are responsible for healthcare's problems. The reality is that many hospitals depend on outside investment to survive. If investors believe they could face prison, asset seizures, or political persecution, they will stop investing. Capital dries up. Projects stop. Services disappear. Hospitals close. The communities hit hardest will be rural America. Patients will travel farther for care. Emergency services become less accessible. Healthcare deserts expand. Ironically, the very people Warren claims to be helping could become the biggest victims of her legislation. What Warren ignores is the real crisis facing healthcare. The system is drowning in waste, fraud, abuse, and unsustainable government spending. Billions of taxpayer dollars disappear into bloated bureaucracies every year while politicians promise more benefits and more programs without meaningful reform. Instead of fixing the problems government helped create, Warren is searching for a scapegoat. That scapegoat is private investment. And that should concern every American. Because when politicians start threatening prison for legal business activity, investors leave. When investors leave, hospitals lose access to capital. When capital disappears, services disappear. And when services disappear, patients pay the price. This bill isn't really about protecting patients. It's about expanding government power. Like so many progressive proposals before it, the goal is more regulation, more bureaucracy, and more control concentrated in Washington. The result won't be better healthcare. It will be fewer hospitals, fewer choices, and fewer options for the communities that need healthcare the most. That is why Elizabeth Warren's latest healthcare proposal is so dangerous.SponsorsThe Maverick Systemhttps://TheMaverickSystem.comVRA Insiderhttps://VRAInsider.comPatriot Mobilehttps://www.PatriotMobile.com/GrantThe Wellness Companyhttps://Twc.Health/GrantUse Code: GRANT For 10% OffLost Soldier Oil And Gashttps://www.LostSoldier.comSugarfina Investment Opportunityhttps://invest.sugarfina.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2020, Emily Mendenhall drove from Washington, DC to Okoboji, Iowa, a town of 800 that swells to 200,000 every summer, and walked into a pandemic that looked nothing like the one dominating national headlines. Inside gas stations and bars, masks marked you as an outsider. In one stop, a man told her family they would not be served if they kept theirs on. Her 6 year old daughter cried, confused. Mendenhall, a medical anthropologist at Georgetown University, did what she always does. She started asking questions. Over months, she interviewed neighbors, former classmates, and local officials, including her own brother in law who helped lead the local COVID response. The result became Unmasked, a case study in how community identity, economics, and politics shaped public health decisions in real time. That work led directly into her latest book, Invisible Illness: A History, from Hysteria to Long COVID, where she tracks a much older problem. Patients with chronic illness, especially women, often fail to meet medicine's demand for proof. Without a clear diagnosis, they lose access to care, insurance coverage, and legitimacy. Mendenhall argues that long COVID did not create this failure. It exposed it.This conversation centers on how healthcare systems reward certainty and punish complexity. Long COVID clinics send patients to 17 specialists without resolution. Insurance structures require diagnoses that many conditions cannot provide. Medical training still struggles to integrate trauma, mental health, and chronic disease into a coherent model of care.Mendenhall brings lived experience into the conversation. After COVID, she dealt with months of fatigue and escalating anxiety that altered her baseline health. She does not claim the label of long COVID, but she understands how quickly the system becomes harder to navigate once symptoms stop fitting clean categories. The stakes are not theoretical. In the United States, access to healthcare, disability benefits, and treatment still depends on whether a condition can be measured, coded, and reimbursed. For millions living with invisible illness, the burden of proof becomes the illness itself.RELATED LINKSEmily MendenhallInvisible Illness: A History, from Hysteria to Long COVIDScience PoliticsGeorgetown UniversityFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Laura Delano was a high-achieving student—straight-A's, national squash ranking, class president—whose private suffering led to an early bipolar diagnosis and a lifetime prognosis of medication. After initially resisting, she spent the next decade immersed in elite psychiatric care, accumulating multiple diagnoses and nineteen medications, only to worsen and be labeled "treatment resistant." Following a suicide attempt at twenty-seven, Laura began asking a forbidden question: what if the treatment itself was the problem? Choosing to leave behind drugs and diagnoses, she became an outspoken ex-patient, writer, and advocate—working with individuals, families, and clinicians to address psychiatric drug withdrawal, patient rights, and the deeper social forces shaping modern mental health.  In this episode, Dr. Brian, Dr. Tro, and Laura talk about… (00:00) Intro (02:06) Laura's bipolar diagnosis and how it impacted her life as a young person (14:20) Psychiatric drugs and the polypharmacological approach to addressing mental health issues (23:04) The metabolic, spiritual, and emotional issues underlying psychiatric disorder (31:08) How Laura finally realized that the answer to her psychiatric problems was not more meds and traditional psychiatric care (34:10) Major issues in the psychiatric health care system (36:47) Anti-psychotic drugs, food addiction, and alcoholism (40:41) Finally coming off of all the psychiatric drugs that Laura had been on for half her life (48:17) Gut health, lifestyle factors, and mental health (50:49) Why it is so hard to find your way out of the psychiatric care system (55:13) Safe de-prescription and informed consent in psychiatric care (01:03:03) Fake empathy, moral corruption, and systemic issues in medical care that are perpetuating these major problems (01:09:10) Outro For more information, please see the links below.

Nurses have a tough job. AI tools promise to take care of some of the more mundane and repetitive tasks that eat up so much time and, by extension, money in healthcare. But often these AI efficiency initiatives can be a bit top down without much consideration for how workers actually do their jobs. So, some nurses unions are bargaining over AI. Claire Keenan-Kurgan of Interlochen Public Radio has this story.

What About an Arc de Healthcare? Trump's Destruction of Our Shared Symbols is an Attack on All of Us. World Cup Joy, Living in the New South, Friendly, Helpful Neighbors and Driving Across America.  Henry Rollins doesn't do small talk. The punk icon, author, USO road dog, and longtime friend of the show returns from Nashville to deliver one of the most blistering hours we've recorded this year. He keeps dragging the conversation back to the number no cable network wants to sit with: 13 dead American service members, and countless wounded, from a war in Iran the president picked and can't justify. Rollins walks through what a USO trip actually sounds like — young troops telling him the mission is simply "get to D-FAC" — and asks the only question that matters from the resolute desk: how do I get every one of them home? From there it's a wide-open briefing on the state of the republic. Rollins on Tennessee's generational shift and the independents rising inside a red state. Rollins on Operation Ajax, the JCPOA, and why no previous president pulled this trigger. Rollins on a White House that paved over Jackie Kennedy's rose garden, demolished the East Wing, and put MMA behind a paywall on the people's lawn. And Rollins on what's still good — neighbors who shovel each other out, strangers who change your tire in the rain, and a country whose arc, even now, still bends toward better. If you're in the angry middle, this one will hit a nerve and put some fight back in you. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Visit Kalshi and trade on anything.

How psychiatrist Dr. Duncan Gill transitioned from employee to entrepreneur and built a thriving behavioral health practice serving children, teens, and families. Show Notes Page: https://www.thehowofbusiness.com/611-duncan-gill-practice-owner/ How psychiatrist Dr. Duncan Gill transitioned from employee to entrepreneur and built a thriving behavioral health practice serving children, teens, and families. Many highly trained professionals discover that technical expertise alone is not enough to build a successful business. In this episode, Henry Lopez speaks with Dr. Duncan Gill, founder of Direction Behavioral Health, about his journey from practicing psychiatrist to entrepreneur and business owner. Duncan shares how frustration with bureaucracy and a desire to serve patients differently led him to launch his own behavioral health practice. They discuss the challenges of transitioning from clinician to business leader, including hiring and managing employees, navigating partnerships, delegating responsibility, monitoring key performance indicators, and building systems that allow the business to grow beyond the founder. Duncan also shares why creativity, adaptability, and a willingness to take calculated risks have been critical to his success. He reflects on the lessons he learned from building a team, expanding facilities, and creating a practice that serves children, teens, and families while providing him with the freedom to pursue other interests, including music. This conversation offers valuable insights not only for healthcare professionals but for any entrepreneur seeking to build a business that can grow beyond their direct involvement. Healthcare professionals should not underestimate their ability to become successful entrepreneurs. Dr. Duncan Gill is a board-certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and the founder of Direction Behavioral Health. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Physical Sciences from Harvard University and his Doctor of Medicine degree from Saba University School of Medicine. He completed his General Psychiatry residency and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry fellowship at the University of Connecticut. Before founding Direction Behavioral Health, Duncan served as a staff psychiatrist with the Community Council of Nashua's Child and Adolescent Program. He has also worked with Southern New Hampshire Medical Center and performed psychiatric evaluations for New Hampshire's court system. Today, he leads Direction Behavioral Health, a specialized behavioral health practice serving children, teens, young adults, and families through intensive outpatient programs and other structured mental health services.
