Apprenticeship is no longer synonymous with the construction trades. Healthcare organizations are training medical assistants and registered nurses through apprenticeship. Schools are using the model to prepare teachers. Employers are applying it to occupations from arboriculture to human resources. At the same time, more high school students are using Youth Apprenticeship to begin building skills and gaining paid work experience before they graduate.So what actually makes something an apprenticeship, and why are so many industries taking a fresh look at a model that has existed for more than a century?David Polk, Director of Apprenticeship at the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, takes us inside the modern apprenticeship system. A third-generation apprentice who began his own career as a plumber, David now leads one of the country's most established state apprenticeship systems and serves as president of the National Association of State and Territorial Apprenticeship Directors.In this episode, we break down Registered Apprenticeship and Youth Apprenticeship, how the earn-and-learn model combines paid employment with structured education and mentorship, and what it takes for employers to participate. David also explains how apprenticeship is expanding into occupations that have never traditionally used the model, how states and the federal government shape apprenticeship policy and funding, and why earlier exposure to hands-on careers matters for the workforce pipeline.In this episode:What separates Registered Apprenticeship, Youth Apprenticeship and other forms of work-based learningHow earn-and-learn flips the traditional education-to-employment modelWhy apprenticeship is expanding into healthcare, education, HR and other occupations beyond the tradesHow employers can use Youth Apprenticeship to build an earlier connection with future talentHow federal policy, state systems and funding influence apprenticeship growth3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Apprenticeship integrates education and employment instead of treating them as separate stages.2. Apprenticeship is a workforce development model, not a category of trades careers.3. Building the workforce pipeline starts earlier than the point of hire.Resources in this Episode:Wisconsin Apprenticeships - Find more about registered, youth and certified pre-apprenticeshipU.S. Department of Labor - ApprenticeshipsWisTRAIN grantsWisconsin Fast Forward grantsHEART Grant for rural healthcareNational Association of State and Territorial Apprenticeship Directors (NASTAD)Email the WI DWD Apprenticeship teamMore notes & resources on the episode page: https://techedpodcast.com/polkWe want to hear from you!

How do two orthopedic surgeons with no formal business training raise over $1 million to build a healthcare technology startup? In this Milestones to Millionaire episode, Todd and Justin, orthopedic surgeons who trained together and are just three and a half years out of residency, share how they went from starting a small coffee company during COVID to raising $1.6 million for an AI-driven medical technology startup aimed at reducing physician overhead and administrative burden. Justin explains his decision to step back from a seven-figure hospital salary to build the company full time, while Todd continues working in full-time private practice, illustrating two very different risk tolerances within the same founding team. They walk through how they structured the company, set up a Delaware C-Corp, used SAFE investments, and raised initial capital from friends, family, and fellowship alumni, all without an MBA or formal business background, leaning instead on AI tools, mentorship, and each other's strengths. They also discuss why physician-led startups statistically tend to outperform those built by outside innovators, since doctors understand the real pain points of practicing medicine firsthand. Building something new in medicine takes more than a good idea. It takes physicians willing to step outside the clinical world entirely and learn an entirely different set of skills. One of the most underrated financial moves in medicine is working locum tenens. It pays significantly more on average, and you can work locums full time or on the side of your full time. When you work with CompHealth, the #1 staffing agency, they cover your housing and travel costs —which on top of higher pay, really adds up. Locums also gives you more control of your career, allowing you to go where you want, when you want, with a schedule that works for you. It's the perfect way to get ahead financially while getting focused on what you love.  Whether it's locum tenens or a regular permanent position, visit https://whitecoatinvestor.com/CompHealth and build your career your way with the power of CompHealth.

Informed Dissent with Dr. Jeff Barke – Government health guidance faces scrutiny as seasonal vaccination campaigns raise questions about informed consent, individual choice, and institutional trust. The call for honest discussions of risks, benefits, and uncertainty accompanies an emphasis on healthy habits, personal resilience, and critical thinking in making everyday healthcare decisions...

On this episode host Raj Sundar explores the limitations of mechanistic models in medicine and emphasize the importance of seeing patients as whole beings shaped by history, context, land, and community. Through candid conversation among clinicians trained in somatic experiencing, compassionate inquiry, and research with Indigenous communities, he reflects on how social determinants, trauma, and systemic violence contribute to disease and impact the patient experience. We discuss the value and complexity of diagnosis—how it can be both validating and reductive—and address how healing is fostered through relationship, safety, and the recognition of environmental, emotional, and intergenerational influences on health. By sharing personal stories and practical challenges, he highlights the need for culturally responsive, holistic care and the ongoing journey to create safer, more healing spaces within healthcare.

On this Labor Day edition of Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, sits down with Dr. Phillip Kuan for a conversation about how the healthcare industry can reduce its environmental footprint without compromising patient care. Dr. Kuan is a quadruple board-certified anesthesiologist whose career reflects a deep commitment to the art and science of aesthetics. With a foundation of rigorous training from prestigious institutions like UT-Southwestern, UC-San Francisco, and Harvard, Dr. Kuan has honed his clinical acumen to deliver outstanding patient care. His journey through these top-tier programs has been complemented by mentorship from some of the most pioneering figures in the aesthetic industry, providing him with invaluable insights into the latest techniques and advancements in the field. The U.S. healthcare sector is responsible for an estimated 8.5% of the country's greenhouse gas emissions, yet sustainability is rarely part of the broader conversation around environmental impact. While many industries are facing growing pressure to reduce their footprint, healthcare providers face a unique challenge: balancing environmental responsibility with patient safety. One area drawing increased attention is nitrous oxide. Commonly used in medical and dental settings, nitrous oxide is also a potent greenhouse gas with a long-lasting environmental impact. Despite growing awareness, many healthcare facilities continue to use it because it is familiar, cost-effective, and deeply integrated into existing workflows. At New Look New Life in NYC (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/), Dr. Phillip Kuan and his team made the decision to eliminate nitrous oxide entirely, opting instead for propofol-based anesthesia protocols. The decision is part of a broader effort to reduce waste where possible. New Look New Life has transitioned to largely paperless operations and has replaced select single-use materials with reusable alternatives where appropriate. At the same time, Dr. Kuan emphasizes that sustainability in medicine has limits. Many products and procedures must remain disposable to protect patients, prevent infection, and comply with regulatory requirements. Hospitals generate more than 5 million tons of waste each year, and operating rooms can account for a significant portion of that waste (https://practicegreenhealth.org/topics/waste/waste-0). While no healthcare organization can eliminate waste entirely, some providers are finding practical ways to reduce their environmental impact without compromising quality of care. Beyond his professional accomplishments, Dr. Kuan leads a life rich in cultural pursuits and personal passions. An avid hiker and backpacker, he finds solace in the great outdoors, relishing the tranquility and challenge of nature's trails. His love for the arts is equally profound, as he immerses himself in opera, theater, and Broadway productions, celebrating the vast spectrum of human expression. More than an appreciative audience member, Dr. Kuan is also a musician, bringing his own creativity to life through the piano and violin.

The government continues to resist the pressure, as the Coalition throws its weight behind veterans.

Friends for years and with CF as their connection, Laura and Petrina have figured out how to raise CF awareness across the world. How does cystic fibrosis care compare between Australia and the United States? Host Laura Bonnell talks with Petrina Fraccaro, CEO of CF Queensland, about her journey into CF advocacy, the mission of CF Queensland, and the support available to individuals and families living with cystic fibrosis. Laura and Petrina also discuss the global landscape of cystic fibrosis, including advocacy, carrier screening, and international collaboration. They share insights from worldwide conferences, highlight the importance of community support, and explore opportunities to improve access to care and medications for people living with CF around the globe. As cofounders of the CF Global Advocacy Alliance (CFGAA), the women talk about how organizations around the world are working together to create a brighter future for the CF community. A Personal Connection to Cystic Fibrosis Petrina's path to CF advocacy is an interesting one. With a background in public relations, education, and working to empower women, she eventually began looking for an opportunity in the not-for-profit world. She wanted to use her skills for something meaningful, particularly for a chronic illness that many people didn't understand. But CF wasn't completely unfamiliar to her. As a child, Petrina had watched a family friend live with cystic fibrosis. That early experience stayed with her and eventually helped lead her into a career advocating for people and families affected by CF. Today, that passion has grown into leadership at Cystic Fibrosis Queensland, where she works to make sure people living with CF and their families have the resources, support, and advocacy they need. Supporting Families Through Cystic Fibrosis Queensland Cystic Fibrosis Queensland provides support across Queensland and the Northern Territory, helping families navigate the financial, emotional, and practical challenges that come with CF. Petrina talked openly about the challenges the organization has faced, including financial sustainability. Rather than trying to do everything, she focused on listening to the CF community and identifying the services that were most important. Those services include: Medical subsidies to help families manage the costs associated with CF care. Specialty grants that can help provide equipment such as nebulizers and oxygen concentrators. Education scholarships that help people with CF pursue college, training, and career opportunities. Mental health support for people with CF, their families, and caregivers. What struck me throughout our conversation was how much of this work comes down to one simple idea: people should not have to navigate CF alone. Why Awareness and Education Still Matter It can be easy to look at the incredible advances in CF treatment and think that we have solved many of the problems associated with the disease. We haven't. While CF treatments have changed dramatically—and modulators have given many people with CF opportunities that previous generations never had—there are still people who are diagnosed late, people who don't have access to the newest treatments, and families who don't understand what CF means when it enters their lives. Petrina talked about the importance of reaching immigrant and multicultural communities in Australia, where cystic fibrosis may not be well understood or even recognized. That education extends beyond families. Healthcare professionals and the broader community also need to understand CF so that people can be diagnosed as early as possible and connected with appropriate care. The Importance of Carrier Screening One of the topics we discussed that I think deserves much more attention is genetic carrier screening. Cystic fibrosis is an inherited condition, and a person can be a healthy carrier without ever knowing it. In Australia, Cystic Fibrosis Australia estimates that approximately 1 in 25 people carry a CF gene change, and most carriers are unaware of their status. Research from Australia also demonstrates just how important broader carrier screening can be. In a study of 12,000 people undergoing reproductive carrier screening for CF, spinal muscular atrophy, and fragile X syndrome, 342 people were identified as CF carriers, about 1 in 34 people screened. Approximately 88% of the people identified as carriers had no known family history of the condition. That last statistic is especially important. You don't have to have a family history of cystic fibrosis to be a carrier. Australia took an important step in November 2023 when reproductive carrier screening for CF, spinal muscular atrophy, and fragile X syndrome was added to the Medicare Benefits Schedule for people who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy. Testing has increased significantly since then, although there is still a need for greater awareness and education about carrier screening. For me, this is another reminder that education can change lives. Knowing your carrier status can give people information they can use when making decisions about starting or growing their families. Mental Health Is Part of CF Care Another part of our conversation that really stood out to me was mental health. Living with CF is not just about medications, clinic appointments, hospitalizations, treatments, and lung function numbers. It can affect every part of a person's life, and it affects the entire family. Cystic Fibrosis Queensland has developed mental health programming that supports people with CF as well as their families and caregivers. Petrina also talked about mental health first-aid training, which can give people the tools to recognize when someone may be struggling and help connect them with appropriate support. We also talked about something that comes up frequently in advocacy: the power and responsibility of sharing your story. Personal stories can educate people, change hearts, raise money, and influence policy. But constantly telling your story can also be emotionally exhausting. That means we need to make sure the people sharing their experiences are supported, too. Advocacy Is About More Than Awareness One of my biggest takeaways from talking with Petrina is that advocacy isn't just about making people aware that cystic fibrosis exists. It's about changing systems. It's about making sure families can afford the care they need. It's about access to medications and equipment. It's about education. It's about mental health. It's about genetic screening. It's about making sure people in every community—including communities where CF may be less recognized—have access to knowledgeable healthcare. And it's about making sure that progress in CF doesn't leave people behind. Looking Toward the Future Petrina's journey is a great example of what can happen when someone combines professional skills with a personal passion for making a difference. Our conversation reminded me that the CF community has come incredibly far, but there is still so much work to do. The treatments may be changing. The life expectancy for people with CF is changing. The way we think about CF is changing. But the need for advocacy, education, support, and connection isn't going away. And that's why conversations like this matter. I'm grateful to Petrina—not only for the work she does every day for the CF community in Australia, but for the friendship we've built through our shared commitment to making life better for people and families living with cystic fibrosis.

This time on Code WACK! In honor of Labor Day, we're looking at the powerful connection between work and healthcare in America — and what it means for workers when their health coverage is chained to their jobs. Against the backdrop of our ever-changing economy, we must ask, are the risks of employer-sponsored health insurance greater than the benefits? Today's guest is Mark Dudzic, a longtime union organizer and labor activist. He's a former president of Local 8-149 of the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union, now part of the Steelworkers, as well as the OCAW District 8 Council, and a former national organizer of the Labor Party. In 2009, he co-founded the Labor Campaign for Single Payer Healthcare and currently serves as its chair. This is the first episode in a two-part series.

a16z General Partner Julie Yoo joins MTS host Sophia Dew to explain why she believes healthcare could benefit more from AI than almost any other industry, and why decades of slow technology adoption may actually give healthcare an advantage in the AI era.Julie traces healthcare's evolution from paper records and fax machines through electronic health records and telehealth, and explains why AI represents something different: an organic adoption wave driven by tools that doctors and patients actually want to use. Because healthcare never built the same layers of legacy software as other industries, it may now be able to leapfrog directly into agentic AI.They also explore how AI could dramatically lower the cost of care, why consumers are becoming a more important payer, where Julie sees the biggest opportunities for healthcare founders, and a future where everyone has a highly personalized AI doctor in their pocket for life.Resources:Follow Julie Yoo on X: https://x.com/julesyooFollow Sophia Dew on X: https://x.com/sophiadewFollow MTS on X: https://x.com/mtslive Stay Updated:Find a16z on YouTube: YouTubeFind a16z on XFind a16z on LinkedInListen to the a16z Show on SpotifyListen to the a16z Show on Apple PodcastsFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Every clinic owner asks it at some point - sometimes quietly, sometimes in a full-blown crisis. Is this actually still worth it?In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, Ben Lynch sits down with Mic Rizk and Jack O'Brien to tackle one of the most important and most honest questions in clinic ownership. Mic shares the four dimensions he uses to measure whether clinic ownership is working - time, money, freedom and meaning - and the 12-month rule he gives himself before making any big decision in a trough. They get into what's really driving the current wave of clinic owners wanting to sell, why selling is rarely the solution to the actual problem, and how to use fear-setting to realise the downside isn't as catastrophic as it feels. Ben shares the story of Jenny, a member who couldn't walk into her own clinic without a panic attack - and where she is now. And Mic offers his practical treatment plan for getting out of a trough, starting with your calendar next week.If you've ever quietly wondered whether it's all worth it, this one is for you.In This Episode You'll Learn: ⚖️ The four dimensions of worthwhile - and why you probably don't need all four right now

Greg Heinz, Senior Director of Brand and Digital Strategy at Optimizely, led the company's rebrand — and he argues AI should amplify creative work rather than automate it away. Recorded live at Opticon 2026 in New York City.A rebrand is repositioning, not a new logo. Heinz walks through the research behind Optimizely's brand evolution, the market signals that made the case internally, and what the company had to give up to make the new promise credible.The line between amplification and authorship gets drawn on purpose. "AI" covers everything from a tool that speeds up a designer to a system that ships work with nobody in the authoring seat. Heinz on where he insisted a person stay in the seat, and why.A brand is proven by behavior, not messaging.

In 1971, the National Cancer Act transformed cancer into a national research priority. More than 50 years later, the next frontier is no longer defined solely by scientific discovery, but by how quickly knowledge, lived experience, and patient voices can reshape healthcare itself.The concluding chapter of The Cancer Mavericks: A History of Survivorship explores how the cancer advocacy movement continues to evolve in an era of digital communities, social media, precision medicine, and grassroots activism. Building on the work of pioneers such as Mary Lasker, Rose Kushner, and the generations of survivors who followed, today's advocates are expanding the movement beyond awareness to demand health equity, trusted information, patient-centered research, and meaningful representation in healthcare decision-making.The episode examines how technology has transformed advocacy from local support groups into global communities capable of organizing in real time. Researchers, policymakers, nonprofit leaders, and survivors reflect on the growing influence of digital storytelling, online education, and peer-to-peer networks that connect patients across diagnoses, generations, and geographic boundaries. At the same time, they acknowledge new responsibilities: ensuring accurate medical information, combating misinformation, protecting trust, and keeping patients at the center of innovation.The story also looks ahead to the next generation of advocates. Young leaders are applying lessons learned from decades of cancer activism while drawing inspiration from broader movements for social justice, public health, and community organizing. Their work reflects a simple but enduring truth: meaningful change rarely begins inside institutions. It begins when ordinary people refuse to accept that the system cannot improve.Cancer survivorship has never been a finished story. Every generation inherits the progress achieved by those who came before while confronting challenges uniquely its own. The future of survivorship will be shaped not only by scientific breakthroughs, but by those willing to listen, organize, educate, and ensure that every patient's voice helps define what comes next.RELATED LINKSNational Cancer Institute⁠Cancer Moonshot⁠Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | Division of Cancer Prevention and Control⁠HopeLab⁠Tigerlily Foundation⁠Stupid Cancer⁠FEEDBACKLike this episode?

Karen and Luke dig into how he blends manual therapy, breath work, movement, and even music into a pain-science-informed approach and why consent, communication, and simply being human with patients matter as much as any technique. They also talk about leading a global education company, protecting a "care at the forefront" culture as the business scales, and staying grounded as a clinician wearing a dozen different hats. What we cover in this episode: Luke's path from PT school in Australia to 30 years in private practice in New York How manual therapy, breath work, movement, and music combine in a pain-science-informed session DIMs and SIMs: an inside look at the Protectometer (danger-in-me / safety-in-me) Consent, "no-go zones," and reading a patient's comfort in the moment The shift from trigger-point/dry-needling training to a pain-science lens — and how hard that shift was Balancing leading a patient with empowering them The Resolve Trial and how changing beliefs about pain changes outcomes Staying human and vulnerable as a clinician and business owner Protecting a "care at the forefront" culture while leading a global team at Noi Group Luke's HOPE (Hands-on Pain Education) course and upcoming NY and San Francisco dates Timestamps: 00:31 Karen welcomes Luke Bongiorno, recording live from Gotham Production Studios 03:23 Luke's background: PT school in Australia, moving to the US, landing in New York 04:53 Discovering David Butler's work and the path to Noi Group 06:21 Blending manual therapy, breath work, movement, and music in a session 08:37 Bringing awareness back to a body part that's been "ignored" in pain 09:28 Karen's own experience with touch sensitivity and neck pain 10:59 Why communication and consent change everything in manual therapy 11:24 Moving away from trigger-point/dry-needling explanations toward pain science 12:33 How Luke decides which "tool" to use in the moment 13:03 Explaining DIMs and SIMs (the Protectometer) 15:05 Identifying "no-go zones" and respecting patient boundaries 16:36 Consent culture: teaching in Australia vs. the US, then and now 18:31 The tension between leading a patient and empowering them 19:44 Being a person first — an empowerment story from a workers' comp patient 22:14 Why Luke still sees patients after 30 years 22:54 The power of simply listening and validating pain 25:48 The Resolve Trial: how changing beliefs about pain improves outcomes 27:43 Karen's own "carrying a loaf of bread" story from working with David Butler 29:42 Staying human while running a business, teaching, and traveling 31:16 Small grounding practices you can use between patients 32:01 Advice for clinicians who feel too busy to take their own advice 33:34 Vulnerability in practice — and why clinicians aren't trained for it 36:58 Wearing every hat in a small practice, and learning to leave gaps in the schedule 38:09 Leading Noi Group remotely and learning to trust a team 39:12 Protecting a "care at the forefront" culture as a business scales 41:09 Key takeaways: value your human skills, reframe your role, use music when talking isn't working 44:31 Lightning round: book recommendations, favorite tool, best business advice, non-negotiable habits 47:37 Where to find Luke, his HOPE course, and NY/San Francisco course dates More About Luke: Luke Bongiorno is the Owner and Director of the pain education company, The Neuro Orthopaedic Institute, also known as Noigroup. At the heart of Luke's work is a simple belief: good clinical care starts with listening, understanding, and helping people make sense of their pain and injury. Luke's physiotherapy journey began with a degree from the University of Melbourne, Australia, followed by a move into clinical practice in New York. In NYC, Luke co-founded New York Sports Medicine, a company later acquired by United Healthcare. Still one of New York City's most prominent physical therapists, Luke's extensive experience in managing acute and chronic pain and sports injuries means he travels frequently to work with professional and Olympic athletes, as well as members of touring performing arts and dance companies. He currently serves as a consultant to the NBA League and European professional soccer teams. Luke is also affiliated with the clinical education programs of Columbia University and Touro College. Luke takes a hands-on approach to care, combining his advanced manual therapy skills with exercise and education. He genuinely cares about helping people understand their pain, build confidence in their bodies, and achieve the best possible recovery and performance. He strongly believes that education is fundamental to optimising patient recovery and performance. Luke has taught advanced skills courses in Manual Therapy internationally since 2004 and has been part of the Noigroup faculty since 2015. His years of clinical experience, combined with his practical and thoughtful approach to patient care, make him a highly respected clinician and educator.

Healthcare organizations need to understand what their AI can access, what it does, and how its decisions affect patients. In this episode, I speak with Eddie Borrero, Chief Information Technology Officer at Cyera, about helping healthcare organizations adopt AI while protecting sensitive data and maintaining strong governance. Eddie explains how companies are implementing AI across the workforce, business platforms, and software development, and why each area requires clear controls, accountability, and oversight. We also discuss his “offense and defense” framework, the importance of least-privilege access, and the risks created when AI agents inherit more permissions than they need. Eddie also shares why healthcare leaders need visibility, traceability, and explainability to understand how AI uses data and makes decisions. Tune in to learn how effective governance can help healthcare organizations embrace AI securely and responsibly! Resources: Connect with and follow Eddie Borrero on LinkedIn.

Send us Fan MailWomen's health is having a moment—but there are still some pretty massive gaps in what actually happens when a woman walks into a doctor's office and says, “Something doesn't feel right.”Enter Amy and Jodi, the women behind Vibe Women's Health Collective.Their story started nearly two decades ago after Amy was diagnosed with breast cancer at 44. Physically, she recovered. Emotionally? Totally different story. Then she met Jodi, a physician assistant who actually saw the part of her that wasn't showing up on a scan or a lab result—and the two of them basically fell in love. Years later, that relationship became Vibe.We get into why medical care and mental health HAVE to talk to each other, the giant gap that exists after cancer treatment ends, health anxiety, menopause, perimenopause, HRT, sexual health, painful sex and why women deserve way more than a rushed 15-minute appointment.And because this is apparently where the conversation wanted to go, we also cover neck lifts, pickleball, husbands trying to understand menopause, whether men need their own support group and why women have got to stop apologizing for making money.This episode is funny, incredibly honest and also a pretty damn important conversation about what it looks like when women see a problem, stop waiting for someone else to fix it and build the thing themselves.Go check out Vibe Women's Health Collective—and if you're in Columbus, you're going to want these women on your radar.Subscribe to The Keri Croft Show on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.And as always, keep moving, baby.

Today we're joined by Dr. Jennifer Grandis! Dr. Grandis is a physician, surgeon, cancer researcher, and author of Harsh Medicine: Why Women Can't Get Ahead in Science and Health Care. Women now make up the majority of medical school graduates, so you might think sexism in medicine has been solved. Nay. Dr. Grandis interviewed over 100 doctors & scientists about what actually happens post-graduation... we see job titles without real authority, unequal access to resources, harassment, stalled promotions, and institutions that claim meritocracy right up until a gal has the balls to ask for equal pay. Important to discuss because representation is not the same as power, and we love a woman in power :)Visit her website to learn more about her book!

Markets remain trapped in a frustrating sideways consolidation as money rapidly rotates between Technology, Healthcare, Momentum, and Value. Momentum stocks remain under pressure, while large-cap Value and Quality are holding up better. With volatility still compressed and markets offering little directional conviction, Lance Roberts explains why investors should avoid chasing rotations or making rash portfolio moves until the market finally shows its hand.

Dave Rodgers, managing director at Raymond James Equity Research, joined the REIT Report podcast to discuss the outlook for health care REITs, noting that the sector—and senior housing in particular—is one of the most attractive areas for investment across the REIT industry today.A large and wealthy older generation, and limited supply, provide a “really good runway for strong organic growth” in senior housing, marked by rent growth and margin expansion, Rodgers said. Over the next decade, “we don't think it's a stretch to think that maybe this business can grow at 10% annually,” he added.Senior housing occupancy nationwide is around 90% today, Rodgers pointed out. He noted that older, wealthy individuals considering senior housing options are more interested in the lifestyle component than ever before. “They really want to benefit from living in one of these facilities.” At the same time, enhanced technology is improving the resident experience and reducing labor intensity in operations.Chapters: 00:36 Healthcare REIT Breakdown01:14 Senior Housing Demand Surge02:42 How Senior Living Evolved04:53 Mid Market Supply Question06:12 Labor Costs And Margins07:27 Skilled Nursing And Medical Office09:29 Life Science Recovery Check10:50 Where Deals Are Happening13:25 Risks Next Two Years15:12 Final Investment Takeaways

a16z General Partner Jorge Conde sits down with Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel to discuss a major milestone for mRNA technology: positive Phase 3 results from Moderna and Merck's individualized treatment for melanoma, after more than a decade of work on personalized cancer vaccines. Stéphane explains how the treatment works by sequencing an individual patient's tumor and healthy cells, identifying the mutations most relevant to their cancer, and encoding up to 34 of them into an mRNA designed specifically for that patient. Rather than simply unleashing the immune system, the goal is to teach it exactly what to recognize and attack. They also unpack the engineering challenge of manufacturing a different medicine for every patient, how Moderna has brought the process down to roughly 42 days from biopsy to treatment, and what it would take to manufacture personalized medicines at scale. Finally, Stéphane looks beyond melanoma to lung, kidney, bladder, pancreatic, and gastric cancers, as well as Moderna's longer-term work applying mRNA to rare genetic and autoimmune diseases.

Healthcare marketing has had a caregiver persona for fifteen years. She was worried, researching options, wanting a second opinion. That was a fair description of the job in 2010. Today most family caregivers help with bathing, dressing and mobility, and many now handle injections, wound care, catheters and oxygen equipment at home. Eleven percent were trained for any of it. Chris Boyer and Reed Smith open on new research projecting how much bigger this population gets by 2040, and on why the explanation everyone reaches for turns out to be wrong. The rest of the first half is about why none of this reaches anyone's numbers. One caregiver arrives in a health system as three unlinked records. The one tool built to let her in goes unmarketed and almost unused, and the workaround hospital staff recommend instead would get a marketer fired. Then Chris turns to why every fix built for her quietly stops working around week three. Jessica Hulter and Lamarque Polvado of CareStarter built software that asked a clinic checkout desk for sixty seconds. Staff used it for two weeks, then stopped, and nobody could make them start again. What they did in response put the human somewhere other than where healthcare usually puts her, and Jessica is that human.

Let's talk about Medicare 4 All and Trans healthcare....

President Trump is set to talk with oil executives since gas prices are still high and might even go up again. He's also working on a medicine stockpile in case a global conflict cuts off supplies to the U.S. There's even talk that the White House bowling alley could be next on his list of projects. Over in Iran, inflation keeps getting worse, and the economy is taking a hit. Mark talks about a shakeup at the next Met Gala in New York. Fashion designer John Galliano was picked for a big role at the event, but it turns out he's got a history of anti-Semitic comments. The pied-à-terre tax in New York is now facing pushback from both Democrats and Republicans. Abdul El-Sayed's plan for free healthcare is getting a lot of heat, especially since his wife works in healthcare. CNN pollster Harry Enten is earning respect for being upfront about the polls—right now, the Democrats' approval rating is really low. Howard Stern's radio show is now down to just one day a week. Tim Cook stepped down as Apple's CEO yesterday. The Trump administration is bringing Nicki Minaj and Dean Cain on board for a new ‘Shark Tank'-style show. Mark interviews Boston radio host Howie Carr. It's primary day in Massachusetts, and Howie shares what he's seeing with the races. The guys also talk about what former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt might do next, maybe TV? Howie says fuel prices are his biggest worry as the midterms approach. Plus, socialist Dems like Abdul El-Sayed and Mamdani could give AOC a boost in her races. Who's Roy Cohn? He was Trump's lawyer back in the '70s and '80s, and that might explain some of Trump's style. On Monday, there was a tragic stabbing spree in Times Square. The Lindsay Clancy trial is still going, with the jury deliberating. Vladimir Putin says he's backing Iran all the way. Mark interviews John Carney from Breitbart Business News. Job vacancies are up a little. The guys get into what actually makes a strong economy. John and Mark also break down what happens when the Fed raises rates; it's not always a disaster. They wrap up with Trump's meeting with oil execs and what might happen with oil and gas prices.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mark interviews Boston radio host Howie Carr. It's primary day in Massachusetts, and Howie shares what he's seeing with the races. The guys also talk about what former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt might do next, maybe TV? Howie says fuel prices are his biggest worry as the midterms approach. Plus, socialist Dems like Abdul El-Sayed and Mamdani could give AOC a boost in her races. Who's Roy Cohn? He was Trump's lawyer back in the '70s and '80s, and that might explain some of Trump's style. On Monday, there was a tragic stabbing spree in Times Square. The Lindsay Clancy trial is still going, with the jury deliberating. Vladimir Putin says he's backing Iran all the way. Mark interviews John Carney from Breitbart Business News. Job vacancies are up a little. The guys get into what actually makes a strong economy. John and Mark also break down what happens when the Fed raises rates; it's not always a disaster.

Ever notice that the trip home often seems shorter than the trip there—even when the distance and travel time are exactly the same? It happens so often that researchers have given it a name: the “return trip effect.” And the explanation reveals something fascinating about how your brain experiences time. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3179583 You're told to “take charge of your healthcare.” But how exactly are you supposed to do that when the doctor is the expert, appointments are short, and navigating the healthcare system can be frustrating and confusing? It turns out there is a lot you can do to get better care. Dr. Lucy McBride explains how to make better use of your doctor, ask the right questions, know when to push for answers, and become a more effective partner in your own healthcare. She is a primary care physician and author of Beyond the Prescription: A Doctor's Guide to Taking Charge of Your Health (https://amzn.to/4hAEoc3). Weather is doing things to you that you probably never realize. Sunshine, rain, heat, cold, wind and even changes in atmospheric pressure can affect how you think, feel, sleep and behave. Why are some people far more sensitive to weather than others? Can certain weather actually make us more aggressive or anxious? And why can a particular kind of day trigger such powerful memories and emotions? Dr. Trevor Harley has spent years studying the surprisingly intimate relationship between weather and the human mind. He is Emeritus Professor of Psychology at the University of Dundee and author of Head in the Clouds: How the Weather Affects Our Minds and Mental Health (https://amzn.to/4xN5L7v). Could you tell whether water is hot or cold just by listening to someone pour it? You probably can—even if you've never realized it.

The American healthcare and financial systems can feel deeply broken, but you are not powerless. With healthcare costs skyrocketing and deductibles growing larger every year, many people feel trapped when facing a medical procedure. Clark shares an instructive real-world story from The Washington Post, explaining how price transparency (and lack thereof) impacts your wallet and why price-shopping non-emergency medical procedures is essential for protecting your savings. Clark also addresses the growing wave of financial stress facing millions of households now. As inflation strains budgets and credit card default rates rise, debt collectors are taking consumers to court in record numbers. If you or a loved one are dealing with aggressive debt collectors, Clark walks through your legal rights, how to stop harassing calls, and why getting every agreement in writing is non-negotiable. Plus, Christa shares your #AskClark questions and Clark gives his take. All this and more on the August 31, 2026, episode of The Clark Howard Show. Submit your questions: Ask Clark.
