In healthcare, we see distressing things regularly. Sometimes we passively or actively participate in things we believe to be wrong. When it upsets us, that is moral distress. When we carry that hurt in a way that negatively impacts our lives, that pain becomes moral injury.We are honored to welcome back our guest, Dr. Amy Locke, M.D.Dr. Locke is Chief Wellness Officer, Director of the Osher Center for Integrative Health, Professor of Family and Preventive Medicine and Adjunct Professor of Nutrition and Integrative Physiology at the University of Utah.  She has internationally recognized expertise in professional well-being.  (More about Dr. Locke below.)In this episode, we discuss why moral distress happens, how to recognize it and what to do when it happens to us.  Book Reference: - "Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle," by Emily and Ameila Nagoski More about Dr. Locke!Dr. Locke's research, education and clinical roles focus on helping people lead healthier lives through a focus on whole person health.

Do we need to evolve the bar on evidence required for drug reimbursement? The gold standard endpoint for assessing the benefit of anti-cancer drugs has been overall survival (OS) however, more recently, there has been a trend toward using surrogate clinical trial endpoints such as progression free survival (PFS) and event-free survival (EFS). As treatments improve and patients are living longer, using OS as a primary endpoint can mean a longer time until a result is obtained. In this podcast, Dr Rebecca Tay, Medical Oncologist at Royal Hobart Hospital and ICON, discusses the critical role of improvement in quality of life in assessing drugs that are funded on the PBS, the nuances around clinical trial endpoints and the need for surrogate endpoints that accurately predict for OS and a reimbursement system that brings beneficial treatments to patients faster. Professor Nick Pavlakis, Chair of TOGA and Medical Oncologist at Royal North Shore Hospital and Genesis Care and Dr Deme Karikios, Immediate Past Chair of MOGA and Medical Oncologist from Nepean Hospital Sydney join the conversation. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2817337

Today, we are happy to be speaking to an icon in our industry who is also an amazing leader! Carrie Ferenac has been a co-owner of CNTV (Convention News Television) for fifteen years and is currently the chairwoman of the board of directors of IAEE.   In this episode, Carrie tells her story and talks about her business. She shares her business experience and insights, offers advice for business owners, and talks about transparency, virtual learning, the importance of connecting, showing up, volunteering, and what needs to be done to build a company culture in our current environment.  We hope you enjoy our interesting and insightful conversation with Carrie Ferenac today! Bio: Carrie and her business partner, Marcelo Zolessi, co-founded Convention News Television (CNTV) in 2007 after seeing a need for digital content and live production in the exhibitions and events industry. Now, the company produces live and remote content for more than seventy clients annually. The video stories bring events to life and offer associations and for-profit show organizers a new stream of revenue through sponsorships. CNTV also partners with IAEE, PCMA, TSNN, and Tradeshow Executive to produce video content and live coverage of industry events throughout the year.  Carrie has an extensive background in broadcast journalism and management. She spent eleven years at the NBC affiliate in Orlando (WESH-TV). Now, Carrie is entrenched in the meetings industry. She is the current chair of the IAEE Board of Directors, and Immediate Past Chair of the CEIR Board. She was a finalist for PCMA's Supplier of the year in 2017 and 2019. She volunteers her time and energy to projects that forward the industry, including Exhibitions Day and the Exhibitions Mean Business campaign. Carrie's story After graduating from the University of Florida, Carrie became a hard-core journalist and worked in TV news for more than a decade. Most of her professional career was spent at the NBC affiliate in Orlando. She then ventured out on her own and started CNTV with her business partner in 2007 CNTV  CNTV produces video content, live-streaming, and virtual events in the meetings and events industry. It is mostly for trade shows, conventions, and conferences.  Evolving Over the last year-and-a-half, CNTV pivoted, evolved, and changed. Now they are evolving into doing hybrid events. Transparency Transparency has always been important at CNTV. With the onset of Covid, they spoke to their employees every day when the news was coming out, gave them updates on what was happening with all the shows, and kept everyone informed of the latest numbers. They also communicated directly with all their employees about their lay-offs and furlough. Maintaining that level of transparency helped them get through the crisis and the tough times. Daily check-ins They still have daily ten or fifteen-minute check-ins with their staff to keep the communication lines open and answer questions. CNTV Day Every year, they have CNTV Day and spend an entire day taking every staff member on a full-day retreat where they plan for the future, answer questions about anything, do hands-on training, and even share some of their finances. It is done to keep the whole team as on board as possible and teach everyone about the business. Starting a business  Starting a business is not easy because you need the stomach for it, and you have to be ready to evolve. Carrie and her business partner recruited a convention expert to consult with them about the industry.  Ask for help It is always worth asking! Ask for help, and remember those who helped you along the way.  Taking classes Carrie took every class she could learn something from because she had to learn how to be a business owner.  Virtual trade show Carrie does not think that the virtual trade show worked. She believes that trade shows should be in-person. Virtual learning  Carrie believes that virtual learning and education are good and here to stay. A live studio Adding a live studio is a way to get thought leaders on camera to create content and assist with virtual content for virtual events. Hiring producers When it comes to event marketing and creating unique experiences, hiring a producer is a good idea. Producers can help tell a compelling story, convert it to great content, summarize an event, and post it online.  Connections Connecting is vital because people tend to remember the relationships and connections they make at events. Showing up and volunteering It is important to put yourself out there and get involved if you want to start a business. Showing up and volunteering is a great way to make connections and get involved. CIER research The CIER research predicts that we will be back to pre-pandemic numbers by the start of 2024. 2022 and beyond Although Carrie is optimistic about the future, she believes that the rest of 2022 will still be hard. We are also seeing some changes this year that we will have to get used to in the future.  A changing workforce The different and creative ways people are making money right now are changing the traditional workforce. Carrie feels that we need to be open to that and adapt to it. Building a company culture in today's environment To build a company culture in the current environment, we need to listen more carefully to what employees want. (Most people want fair pay, flexibility, and direction.) Employees also need to conform to the company's values.   Connect with Eric On LinkedIn On Facebook On Instagram On Website   Connect with Carrie Ferenac On CNTV website

This week, we have the honor of chatting with Gail Miller, the owner of the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies and Immediate Past Chair of the Board of Directors of Larry H. Miller Management Corporation. She currently serves on the president's campaign senior advisory council at the University of Utah. Aside from being actively engaged in the company's various operations, Gail also presides over the Larry H. Miller Education Foundation and the Larry H. and Gail Miller Family Foundation. She gives generously of her time and resources to civic endeavors. In this episode, Gail shares with us details about her upbringing and what it was like to grow up in a large family where money was often tight. Listen as she tells us how she persevered through the challenges in her life - from being the supporter of her family to being a wife and mother and ultimately stepping to a new role of becoming the owner of a large company. We can all resonate with the biggest obstacle in Gail's life - fear. It's the reason she wrote her book, Courage to Be You: Inspiring Lessons from An Unexpected Journey. It's compelling how she overcame fear through faith and perseverance.We also hear why Gail got involved with the university community and what inspired her to get connected to higher education. She also has some pretty good advice for women who want to transition from being stay-at-home mothers to the workplace once again.Finally, we get to know the future of Larry H. Miller Group of Companies and what Gail hopes her legacy will be.Episode Quotes:Why she supports many of the women's initiatives at the university and business school"When I was in the trenches of running our company, I think it put me in a position of recognition in the community that here's a woman who took this business, she stepped in, didn't make it fail, and hung on and became very successful. And I think as that happened, other women looked at what I did and felt that I was a role model. I never aspired to be, nor did I ever aspire to be a businesswoman, but that's why I feel it's important to support women as they want to become successful either in the business world or a nonprofit world or education or whatever they want to do. If I can be an influence by supporting women in their endeavors, I'm happy to do that."On the importance of education"I can see what it provides. Not just women but anyone who goes to college, it's not just the education you get. It's all of the other parts of it, everything that goes with it. It's being able to prepare yourself in life with what education gives you, having exposure to how the world works and to a variety of organizations and institutions and people, makes them well-rounded. It prepares them to go out into the world and take responsibilities that help society function well. Those are things I think are so beneficial about an education."On growing up "I don't feel like I was deprived because our parents taught us how to be creative, make do with what we have, develop our talents, and have confidence in ourselves. And so, I learned a lot of things from not having much that helped me navigate practically in the world.And it's interesting how the things that you go through in life do build your character and build that, I call it a tapestry of your life because everything you do adds to that quilt that you're making, and some parts of it are right and colored, and some are not quite so beautiful. But when it's all together, it's quite nice. I wouldn't change any of that."What does it mean to persevere? "To me, it means every day is a new adventure. Today is going to be different than yesterday but because it's a new adventure, I try to look at it with fresh eyes and add it to what I've already learned. And that's persevering - knowing that I can get through today, I can do what I need to, I can benefit from what I've learned, and I can build on that for tomorrow. And I don't have to carry baggage with me. Every day, I can do something new and useful, find joy and courage, overcome my trials, and build strength."Advice to stay at home women who are looking to transition into the workforce"I always think of it as seasons of life. There is a time to be a mother and a wife, and a homemaker. There's a time to go to school. There's a time to build your career. And if they dovetail, that's great. If you can manage that, that's great. But only whether you're capable of doing it. And if it doesn't work, it doesn't mean you're a failure. It just means maybe the time isn't right. But it will be later. If women want to have a career, that's great. I look at women who have great careers, and I think, wow, I wish I could do that. And then, I think if they want to be a stay-at-home mom, I don't think there's anything more important than that.So, it's not an either-or. It's a matter of where your focus is and what you really want to do, what you want for yourself. And I think you can have a career and have wonderful children at the same time, but I certainly wouldn't judge anyone if they chose one over the other."Show Links:Larry H.
