Amy and Margaret honor National Caregiving Month with an honest, compassionate look at the realities of caregiving. From raising kids to caring for aging parents—or both at once—they explore the invisible labor, emotional toll, and financial strain that caregivers face every day. They share personal stories, research-backed insights, and practical advice for managing burnout, compassion fatigue, and family dynamics. Whether you're part of the “sandwich generation” or just beginning to navigate caregiving, this conversation offers solidarity and tools to help you find support and protect your own well-being.

What does it mean to live boldly when life throws you curveballs that knock you off your feet? In this powerful episode of Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life, we're joined by adventurer, photographer, podcaster, and resilience expert Travis Robinson.Travis was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at just 35 years old—a life-altering moment that forced him to confront a new reality. But instead of giving up on his passions, he's chosen to adapt and thrive in the face of ongoing physical and emotional challenges.And if that weren't enough, Travis recently lost his home and all of his photography equipment in the devastating Eaton Fire in January 2025. His journey isn't one of past struggle—it's a present-day battle that he meets with unwavering courage and determination.Travis's story is raw, inspiring, and a true testament to the human spirit. Whether you're facing your own mountain or walking beside someone who is, this episode is a must-listen.

In August 2023, Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver took an exciting leap across the pond — airing on UK Health Radio and sharing caregiver stories with an international audience for the first time.But there was just one catch…They had 45 minutes or less to tell their story.Unlike their five-part U.S. debut series, the sisters — Natalie, JJ, and Emilie — had to condense years of caregiving, laughter, loss, and growth into one whirlwind episode.So, for National Family Caregivers Month, we're rewinding to that moment.To how it all began.To see just how much caregiving — and caregivers — have evolved in the 26 months since that UK debut.Join us as the sisters (lovingly) battle for the mic to share it all — from Jason's cancer diagnosis and Mom's Parkinson's journey, to their first lessons in skilled nursing, advocacy, and the messy mix of grief and guilt that shaped who they are today.All this… in just 45 minutes.Tune in, laugh, cry, and remember: we may all be reluctant caregivers at first, but together, we find the courage to keep going. Support the showConfessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Sisterhood of Care, LLC Website: www.confessionsofareluctantcaregiver.com Like us on Facebook!

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  You arrive at your desk, open up your Teams messages or email, and your screen fills with line after line of unread (and read) messages. One message grabs your attention, it's from your boss and you feel compelled to open it.  And from that one action, your whole day is destroyed.  And while I am sure that message from your boss was important and potentially urgent, but did it really warrant destroying your day?  That scenario is happening every day to millions of people, and it makes deciding what your priorities are for the day practically impossible.  So, what can you do to ensure you are acting on your priorities and not being distracted by what appears to be both urgent and important? Giving some reflection, putting aside that so-called urgent message might actually be the best thing you can do.  So, with that said, let me read out this week's question (The Mystery Podcast Voice is on holiday this week).  This week's question comes from Michael. Michael asks, hi Carl, I really struggle to decide what I should be working on each day. My work is very dynamic; a lot can be thrown at me each day, and whenever I plan my week or day, none of it ever gets done. What's the best way to prioritise?  Hi Michael, thank you for your question. In many ways, what you describe is what I see as the curse of the modern world. The incredible advances in technology have enabled us to do seemingly impossible things, yet they have also sped everything up.  I remember just twenty-three years ago when I worked in a Law office in the UK, and if we received a letter (remember them?) from another lawyer, we effectively had around twenty-four hours to compose our response—even if what was being asked was urgent.  We relied on the postal service, and no matter how fast we responded to that letter, it would not leave our office until 4:00 pm at the earliest on that day.  And if we missed the 4:00 pm deadline, tough. It would have to wait until 4:00 pm the next day—which incidentally gave us a wonderful excuse for anything arriving late.  The expectations from the “other side”, as we called them, were that they would receive the reply two days later.  Today, just twenty-three years later, those two days seem to have fallen to just two minutes. What went wrong?  The problem is that no matter how well planned our days and weeks may be, owing to others' expectations, we are “expected” to respond within hours, sometimes minutes, not days. This has blurred the line between what we know is important and what is simply urgent noise.  This is why it's more critical today to be absolutely clear about what is important to you. And I emphasise the words “to you”.  What's important to you is not necessarily important to another person. When someone requires you to do something for them urgently, it's urgent to them, not necessarily to you.  You may have twenty similar urgent requests waiting for you. You are expected to decide what is the most urgent. That's an almost impossible decision to make—if you don't know what's important to you. So, the important place to start, Michael, is to establish your areas of focus. These are the things that are important to you, and they are based on eight areas: Family and relationships Health and fitness Finances Career and business Lifestyle and life experiences Self development Spirituality And your life's purpose.  The first step is to define what each one means to you and then pull out what action steps you need to take to keep everything in balance.  These are the higher-level priorities in your life.  There's a little more to it than that, and if you want to learn more about developing your areas of focus, you can download my free Areas of Focus Workbook from my website; the link is in the show notes.  Next, what is your core work? This is the work you are employed to do.  Now, most people can describe their jobs. For example, I'm an architect, a doctor, a nurse, a bricklayer, a teacher, or a TV presenter. Yet, there's another step here. What does doing what you do look like at a task level?  I know what architects do—they design buildings—but I don't know what they do at a task level.  I've seen building blueprints, so I guess they create those, but I don't know how they do that. Is it with a pencil and a ruler, or is it done on a computer?  Those tasks that you identify as being critical to the work you are employed to do will always form your priorities each day when at work.  After all, if you are not doing the work you were hired to do, you're not likely to be in your job for very long.  Now this makes your life a little easier. Once you know what you need to do each day, or week, for your job, you will also be able to make a reasonably accurate estimate how long each of those tasks will take you.  This will tell you how much time you need to perform your work each week.  Now, you can only work with averages here. There are some external factors that could throw off your timings. Things such as poor sleep or a crisis at work.  Yet, on the whole, you'll find you manage to get all the essential work done each week.  Now the clever part is to protect time for doing your most important work.  I've found that if you can dedicate two hours each morning to your critical work for the day, you will be on top by the end of the week.  From a professional perspective, if you are writing off two hours a day for doing your most important work, that still leaves you with around six hours to deal with anything else.  I grew up on a farm. It was an arable farm with some animals. Each harvest time, when it was time to combine the corn fields, my father would never entertain the thought of meeting with the bank manager, tax inspector or representatives from the seed company.  And to make things more complicated, my father farmed in the UK, which has notoriously unpredictable weather. When the corn was ready and the weather was dry, it was out! Out! Out!  I remember my mother frequently calling dentists, doctors, the bank, and anyone else my father was scheduled to see to cancel appointments.  Harvesting the crops was core work. Nothing got in the way of bringing the barley and wheat in.  And that's the approach you need to have with your core work. No matter who requests your time, when it's time to get on with your core work, it's no. No, No. Come back in an hour and I'll be able to help you.  Now, I began by telling you to establish your areas of focus. Because these are the higher-level areas of your life, it's important to adopt the same approach to protecting time for the things that matter. For example, I have many clients who prioritise being home in time for dinner with their spouse or partner and kids. This means if the family sits down for dinner at seven and it takes thirty minutes to get home, then no matter what, you leave the office at 6:00 to 6:15 pm.  It's a non-negotiable. The good thing about this kind of constraint is that it invokes Parkinson's Law, that is where the work will fill up the time available.  If I have thirty minutes to finish writing this script, I'm certain I will do it. Similarly, if I had ninety minutes it would take me precisely ninety minutes. It's a weird law that works.  The sense of time pressure focuses your brain to filter out what would usually distracts you.  When it comes to priorities, knowing what is most important to you makes deciding what to work on first much easier.  Now, imagine you had ten pieces of work to complete, all equally important, urgent, and connected to your core work. How would you decide? Well, your only option is to follow the principle of first in, first out. Begin with the oldest one and work from there.  Incidentally, I suggest you do the same with your actionable email. Begin by replying to the oldest first. In Outlook and Apple Mail, you can reverse the order of messages in each folder. By default, these will show you the newest at the top. Change that to show you the oldest first.  That might be a little uncomfortable at first because it will remind you how far behind you are with your email. But stick with it. You will soon find that your response times to emails speed up without any extra effort.  Another level you may wish to add here is to create some “if this… Then that” rules.  For example, if there are certain people whom you know you must respond to immediately, then apply a rule. “If I get a request from X, then I will prioritise that request” However, be careful with that one. It's easy to take the easy way out and add bosses, supervisors and pretty much anyone to this list.  For me, there are only two people: my wife and my mother, I would do that for. That's because my Family and relationships are the most important area for me. (And because my father doesn't have a phone, hahaha)  At a work level, I will prioritise anything related to money or lost passwords. I know how concerned people are about money—they bought the wrong course, or a refund needs processing.  Beyond that, any other request will have to wait its turn.  I know this will be difficult for some of you at first. It certainly was for me. But I can promise you that if you work at it and drill down into learning what is important to you, you will find making these decisions easy.  I hope that has helped, Michael. Thank you for your question, and thank you to you too for listening.  It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.   

Bienvenido al podcast Productividad Máxima. Hoy te presento una estrategia de productividad llamada Cierre de Bucles Zeigarnik: aprovechar el efecto Zeigarnik para liberar tu cabeza y producir mejor. La historia de Bluma Zeigarnik en un café de Viena muestra que lo que quedó pendiente se mantiene activo en nuestra mente, mientras lo ya hecho se borra. Esa observación se transforma en un sistema práctico: lo que no cierras ocupa espacio mental y, al cerrarlo, tu foco se expande. Combina GTD, Pomodoro, la ley de Parkinson y automatizaciones para terminar más y pensar menos.El método se ejecuta en bloques de 45 minutos con un cierre claro al final (enviar, calendarizar, delegar o descartar) y se apoya en pasos como barrido mental rápido, convertir cada idea en una acción con verbo y medida, y dos ventanas diarias para respuestas. En la historia de Andrés, quien tenía quince pestañas abiertas, cerrar tres bloques le permitió enviar trabajos y, en tres semanas, sumar 2.500 euros extra sin trabajar más horas. Si te intriga, prueba mañana: haz un barrido de cabeza de cinco minutos, identifica tres tareas con impacto Pareto y programa tres bloques de cuarenta y cinco minutos; prepara una plantilla duplicable para empezar el primer bloque con un objetivo en verbo, objeto y medida. Y si buscas acompañamiento, el episodio sugiere un club de emprendedores para no emprender en solitario.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/productividad-maxima--5279700/support.Newsletter Marketing Radical: https://marketingradical.substack.com/welcomeNewsletter Negocios con IA: https://negociosconia.substack.com/welcomeMis Libros: https://borjagiron.com/librosSysteme Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/systemeSysteme 30% dto: https://borjagiron.com/systeme30Manychat Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/manychatMetricool 30 días Gratis Plan Premium (Usa cupón BORJA30): https://borjagiron.com/metricoolNoticias Redes Sociales: https://redessocialeshoy.comNoticias IA: https://inteligenciaartificialhoy.comClub: https://triunfers.com

Let there be light! Well, certain types of light, at least. That's what we're discussing down at the Movers and Shakers Arms today, where the gang are joined by Professor Glen Jeffery, an expert in the use of light therapies. Why are some lights – like infrared – good for us, whilst others – like UV – are bad? How does light impact on our mitochondria? And, most importantly, what does any of this have to do with Parkinson's?! Join us for a fascinating dive into a less-discussed, but possibly very important, piece in the puzzle of searching for a PD disease modifier.

El tiempo ha sido, sin duda, uno de los mayores y más profundos enigmas de la humanidad. Es un concepto que está presente en cada aspecto de nuestra existencia, y cuya naturaleza ha obsesionado a filósofos, teólogos y, más recientemente, a los científicos. Einstein introdujo el tiempo relativo cuyo flujo se hace más lento con la velocidad y la intensidad de la gravedad. Pero realmente existe el tiempo o estamos ante la mayor alucinación de la humanidad. Hemos entrevistado a Alberto Casas, profesor de investigación del CSIC en el Instituto de Física Teórica, y autor del libro “La ilusión del tiempo. Un viaje por el concepto más enigmático del universo a través de la física” (Sine Qua Non). Con Lluís Montoliu hemos hablado de la técnica de los tres padres, que ya ofrece soluciones a mujeres portadoras de mitocondrias con mutaciones causantes de gravísimas enfermedades. Con Javier Ablanque y su máquina del tiempo hemos viajado a la localidad alcarreña de Marchamalo en 812 para conocer la física que se esconde detrás de la firma con pluma. Elena Garrido nos ha contado un avance que puede ser muy prometedor contra el Parkinson: el diagnóstico precoz a partir de un análisis de sangre. Con testimonios del catedrático Jorge Manzanares, del Instituto de Neurociencias de Alicante Y hemos informado del inicio este lunes, 3 de noviembre, de la Semana de la Ciencia. Escuchar audio

Sarah began her career in professional sports and advertising, but a desire to create more meaningful impact led her to the healthcare space after her father was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. She went on to help grow and successfully exit a packaging firm before bringing her vision and leadership to Canyon Labs. In addition to her role at Canyon, she co-leads Kilmer Innovations and serves on the board of the Medical Device Packaging Technical Committee of the Institute of Packaging Professionals. She remains deeply committed to advancing healthcare through innovation, expertise, and strong partnerships. All right. Well, thank you so much for being here, Sarah. I'm so excited to welcome you to the show. [00:02:05] Sarah Ptach: Likewise. Thank you, Lindsey. I appreciate you having me. [00:02:08] Lindsey Dinneen: Of course. Well, I'd love if you would start off by telling us just a little bit about yourself, your background, and what led you to MedTech. [00:02:16] Sarah Ptach: Yeah. Thank you. So I'm Sarah Ptach. I'm the president of Canyon Labs. I have kind of an interesting story of getting into to medtech. I originally started my career actually in professional baseball. I was a contract negotiation person mainly for closing pitchers. And I ran track in college. I thought like, "oh, I wanna be in sports." And I like to say that's the most fun I never wanna have again. It was, it was a great start of a career. It teaches you a lot about negotiation, teaches you a lot about high stakes opportunities. But, you know, in the end it, it felt very kind of un unfulfilling in that perspective. And so I had kind of then taken that into to marketing for a pretty big ad agency in Chicago and hit the same thing. I felt like I was-- you know, now I was just selling people stuff that they didn't need instead of promoting people that, you know, that make a ton of money in the sports industry. And at the time my dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and I wanted to feel like I was making a difference. So I, I went back and got my MBA and my whole goal of that was really to, to use my skills to, to do something that makes a difference in people's lives. So, I had reached out to a really small medical device company and it's " I'm willing to make no money as long as we, we have a difference in a change we can make in the world." And at the time that company couldn't hire me but I ended up getting introduced to another company through that that was in medical device packaging validation. And that was the first dip of medical device that I had. And that company's Packaging Compliance Labs. I was one of the first employees there and we grew that company until it sold a couple years ago. And through that, learned a ton about the medical device space. I kind of made it my personal mission beyond just my job to, to go try to participate in the industry as much as possible, push the status quo of things as much as possible, and really kind of learn where the testing realm or validation realm can make a difference in, in medical devices. And so after that, I was given the opportunity to step in and run and grow Canyon Labs. And Canyon is a whole platform. So for me, it was taking the packaging knowledge that, that I love so much and making that a full service offering. You know, I had always dabbled in sterilization or heard about Biocom, but never really gotten my hands on it. And to be able to be that full service solution with Canyon has not only been a awesome offering to, to give to our clients to really be able to go A to Z, everything from your regulatory to your microbiology, chemistry, packaging, bio comp, and toxicology. But also a good learning challenge for me. I thought that I was, you know, a pretty good packaging engineer and now learning chemistry and microbiology and toxicology, I'm like, "oh, wow. I'm definitely not as smart as I maybe thought I was originally," and I luckily have some amazingly intelligent individuals that, that work on our team, but it's, it's an awesome opportunity to, to not only get to help bring some life-changing medical solutions to market but also have a really good technical brain challenge every single day. [00:05:26] Lindsey Dinneen: Wow. Oh my goodness. I love that. And yes, I mean, sometimes I feel like actually, you know, not being the smartest person in the room is such a gift because then you get to talk to all these really cool people with really amazing experiences and learn. And I'm just one of those people who's constantly-- well, I'm curious all the time, so if I don't understand something, I'm like, "can you tell me more?" [00:05:48] Sarah Ptach: Yeah. No I love that. I completely agree. I think that the better that you can be at facilitating conversations, the, you know, the more successful your organization will be. And it, I really think as the leader of a company it's less about being the, you know, smartest person in the room and more about being the facilitator of that collaboration. [00:06:10] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. I love that. So, okay, so going back in time a little bit-- so, so I know you started off with professional sports, which is really cool. Like what a, what an interesting, unique opportunity and experience and you know, you'll maybe never want that particular brand of fun again, but. I still love that you got to do it. And so I'm curious though, was that always the sort of planning goal for you? Or when you were trying to think about career paths and all of that, younger, what were you envisioning? [00:06:39] Sarah Ptach: Yeah. I think I, I always envisioned myself as a leader. The packaging side of things became my kind of technical passion. But I mean, from a young age, I've always been the captain of the track team or the, you know, the head of any school organization I was a part of. So I always knew I, I wanted to be a leader. I think now, you know, being in that role, you, you learn so much about what different styles and brands of leadership is. I think, you know, to go back to your question about being the smartest in the room, I actually think that, you know, the CEO's job isn't to have all the answers. It's to create the culture where the answers emerge. And, you know, I've always wanted to be a leader. I've been passionate on that side, but I really think that the more, you know, more so than just having leadership pieces to you. It's about having that power to bring people together in that way. [00:07:31] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. That's a beautiful way to put it. And I actually would love to dive into this more because I know creating a really positive, good company culture is really important to you, and it's frankly, easy to get wrong, unintentionally-- sometimes maybe it just is what it is, but like sometimes it's not a desire to create it, but it happens. So I'm curious, how have you really intentionally cultivated your current company culture, and where did those lessons come from? [00:08:00] Sarah Ptach: Yeah. Deep question. You could answer that in a bunch of different ways and I could talk your ear off about lessons learned on that side. But I, I think the, you know, the most overlooked competitive advantage, both internally and externally is trust. Like the trust in your team to make decisions, the trust in your clients and even the FDA and your labs work. There's trust across it all. I think internally, from culture standpoint, it's have that trust in people and build, you know, people in a way that, that helps them feel most confident to, to make the decisions that they need to succeed. You know, when we first started talking you, you asked if I have any kind of lesson learned stories and some, I dunno, harsh realities per se. I think one of the more difficult kind of lessons that, that I learned in the course of just being a leader, is knowing when you have a passion for someone and what passions they might have. And I stayed that in the standpoint that I'm a huge believer in people. I want them to be like the greatest version of themselves, and I want them to dream big and go big and, you know, sometimes that's not always what people want for themselves too. And it's, it's a tough reality somewhat to to come to at times. But, you know, really finding what is the growth that people truly want. What is the environment that they want to live in, and how do you help foster something that, that meets the plethora of those ideals that you'll have across an organization is really important. But I think the, the culture I've worked really hard to foster at Canyon and frankly, my, my team fosters alongside me every day. This is by no means just a Sarah show on that piece. But it's a culture of trust, like I said, and it's a culture of transparency. I always like to tell my team, "you know, when I ask questions or probe I'm not trying to get an answer or I'm not trying to, you know, question your way of thinking. I'm trying to understand so that I can be at the same table that you're at and we're not, you know, talking oranges and apples and not realizing it." And so I really try to make sure we foster an environment where there's collaboration, there's trust to have that collaboration. There's trust to have challenges made of each other without it being an inflection of, you know, disliking someone. And then creating that opportunity to ask questions and always stay inquisitive in a way that's meant to greater raise everyone up together. [00:10:28] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, that's a wonderful culture that you're cultivating and I love that. But I think you hit on something really key amongst all of the really great points you made, but one of them that really stood out to me was, you talked about how it's not just the Sarah show in this way. It's a whole group effort. And I think that is a critical component that sometimes is forgotten. Like we sometimes think, you know, it's the leader's sort of job or role or just is. It is their leadership. That sort of filters down into the rest of the company and we think it's like a top down way of doing culture, but culture is about absolutely everybody involved in the company. So I'm curious, how do you empower your team members or, and, or when a new team member comes in, how do you communicate, "Hey, this is who we are, these are our values," and make sure that it is a good cultural fit too. [00:11:23] Sarah Ptach: Yeah. You know, we really at Canyon do a lot of things that are just small to, to reinforce and drive culture. We have these bracelets that you can earn, and what they mean is they're all of our company values and you can honor a fellow coworker for, for going above and beyond, or embodying teamwork or really showing integrity. And they get that read out in front of their whole department, and then they get a bracelet to wear proudly. So we do little things to to enhance our culture. And then there's the more macro level pieces, and I think having a baseline understanding of why we all show up to work every single day. You know, it really is to empower life changing medical innovation, and it's to ensure that all the products on the market are not gonna hurt somebody and they are going to, you know, do what they're meant to do in a positive way. You know, if we can all show up with the basis of "everything I do every day is for patient safety," then I think the getting on board with the culture is a lot easier if we all have that base, like regardless of how your day goes, regardless of your email inbox going crazy, we all agree that, you know, patient safety is what we're here to do. And you know, how we can have fun along the way, support each other, do teamwork is just gravy on top of that. So I'd say it's starting with culture that gets that base level item. And once you get that, everything else is just working better together. [00:12:48] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yes. And honestly, that's a great segue to my next question, but I was really-- I think you, again, honed in on something really critical and having everybody around a shared mission is so cool because that passion and that excitement and that " we're all in this together" and when disagreements or issues come up, which --we're human, they do-- then you can always go back to that shared mission and values of the work we're doing matters. We are all on the same side to provide value to our clients to ensure safety for our patients. So, I think that's a really key thing that you touched on there. Yeah. [00:13:33] Sarah Ptach: Don't get me wrong. I mean, it's a difficult thing to, you know, to keep going on teams. We, Canyon, we did two acquisitions this year. And with that comes a lot of combining cultures, changing culture together, all getting on the same page. And it's not easy, bumps along the road, you know, I think showing that we're all on the same page and working and rowing in the same direction is a conversation I have every single week. And so it's something you can keep reinforcing. And I think it's stacking bricks. You don't just have a house, you gotta continually stack bricks on it. And everyone needs to be involved in saying, "yeah, I wanna be a part of this team and I wanna be a part of this shared mission." And it doesn't build itself overnight. [00:14:19] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. So speaking and then mentioning back to that segue, 'cause I just didn't ask the question, but can you share more about Canyon Labs and the incredible work that your company is doing for this industry? [00:14:34] Sarah Ptach: Yeah. Yeah. So like I said we're a full service contract testing and consulting firm within the medical device and pharmaceutical space. You know, a lot of the work we're doing is to help a lot of medical devices and drugs in their validation stage. So, you know, we're working through anything from, you know, designing your package to helping your sterilization strategy. You know, sterilization has been something I talked to, I've spoken on a lot this year. You know, it's a hot topic item in the industry. It's something that a lot of people are dealing with 'cause it has EPA implications as well as now tariffs affecting it as well as supply chain issues within it. So I'd say that's a division I talk to a lot and we help a lot of people navigate those. But the underlying whole piece of Canyon is being that trusted lab partner and we're really trying to raise the standard of service in this industry. You know, I came into Canyon being on the other side of the table and sending samples off to get biocom tested or to go through their sterilization validation. And, you know, for me it was this baby I was sending off to be tested and I don't think I was always met with the best customer service or the best accessible expertise when I needed it. And so we, when we built Canyon, we really built it to, to change that. You know, I want our clients to feel like we're one phone call away for any question that they have. You know, we're not just gonna send them their samples back, say, "sorry, it failed. Let us know when you're ready to give us another PO." That, that transactional relationship is, it's a currency that I don't wanna participate in. And so we really saw it after changing that in the industry. [00:16:16] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Excellent. Well, yeah and I love the fact that you were on that flip side and it could bring such a valuable perspective to the company and go, "okay, here's some lessons learned." You know, and you're always gonna get a mix of it, right? You're gonna get like, "Ooh, I don't know if this is how it should be or needs to be," and you're gonna go, "oh, but here's something that they did excellently." So to bring that very valuable perspective is really cool. [00:16:40] Sarah Ptach: Yeah it's been fun. It's you know, in Canyon's infancy a couple years ago, we had the opportunity to come together with a lot of people from different experiences on our leadership team, and so it's-- as long as we all have the baseline humility to say "the way I did it in the past is not necessarily correct," you know, we could all come together and say, "here's what I did, here's what I did, here's what I did. Okay, let's pick the best of all worlds." So it it was a cool opportunity to have a lot of people with a lot of past experience come to a table that was completely, even in that standpoint. [00:17:18] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Excellent. So I know that you are-- well, okay, so I took a look at your LinkedIn profile and had a wonderful time learning a little bit more about you, but I know you are involved so much. Like you are just, I don't know if you sleep because... [00:17:35] Sarah Ptach: Sometimes. [00:17:36] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. But the, I especially noticed, you know, you're a founding board member for thePACKout and you've done you're involved in a lot of different boards and groups and you're, it seems like you're just, you know, volunteering as kind of your heart and soul and serving in that way. And so I was wondering if you could speak a little bit about those opportunities that you're with too. [00:17:55] Sarah Ptach: Yeah. I think, first and foremost, before any job or role or position I've ever held, I am baseline, a huge proponent of this industry. And, you know, going back to my original reason to be here, it was my dad having Parkinson's and Parkinson's doesn't have a lot of treatment at this point. And it was like, I hate that. So how do I participate in solving that? And I think being involved in the industry, the super cool part, especially about packaging, is there's so much room for improvement at this point. You know, a lot of the standards that we function off of, they are being improved on a yearly basis, but they weren't made that long ago. So the, you know, the baseline ground zero is not that long ago. And I mean, there's people in the industry that are still in the industry that were there when they made ISO 11607. So it's, you know, it's, it's got a lot of room for improvement. I love how much the industry is trying to go back to patients now, and, you know, we're not just trying to design packages or devices that work well for, you know, me, the manufacturer, or me, the physician, but instead it, you know, really does consider patient comfort, patient safety. So the, a lot of what you'll see of my involvement in the industry is related to patient facing parts of of standards. I'm part of the Kilmer Renovations and Packaging Group and specifically I lead the aseptic presentation group, which is meant to evaluate the way that healthcare technicians interact with packaging in a way to help reduce hospital acquired infections. You know, we used to only design packages as an engineer because it's the perfectly engineered package. And, you know, we didn't think about the nurse that's trying to open it and your perfectly engineered package is just way too hard for a nurse to open and the device goes flying across the room. So it you know, we, we weren't considering those things. So our group is trying to correlate opening methods with types of packages and designs of packages. And we're trying to prove that with the different opening techniques that they teach in school for your surgical techs, your nurses, what is the best way for these different packages so that we can make that training and that design fit in the best way possible for positive patient outcomes. So, it's, a lot of my industry involvement is passion based, but I'd also say that a lot of the industry problems they, they can't be solved by just one company and they can't be solved in a silo. So, you know, the only opportunity you get to get all these stakeholders at the same table are these industry groups. And it's unique, I think, to the medical device industry in general that a lot of us care beyond our day jobs. You know, it's like, "cool, this is my day job, but I genuinely, passionately care about the development of my industry. And so I'm willing to, you know, volunteer my personal time." And I see that across the board every day. And it's really cool. I mean, you have people who have huge jobs at, you know, Johnson and Bausch & Lomb and Medtronic, and they're, you know, they're still willing to put their personal time on the table to advance the industry. So, yeah, all my industry involvement's pretty passion based, but it's the medical device industry and medtech industry is one that's super unique. A lot of people feel that personal passion. [00:21:20] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, I couldn't agree more. And thank you for sharing a little bit more about your involvement and your passion for the industry. And I feel so similarly, I, you know, when I joined the industry now a few years ago, I remember having this just moment of getting to meet all these super cool, intelligent innovators that are just literally changing the world and thinking "how lucky am I to be here and play a small part in this big changing thing," and then getting to see exactly to your point, how passionate the people are in the industry and how it's not just a job, it's like a calling. [00:21:59] Sarah Ptach: Well, I think the difference is, you know, in, in medtech, the origin or margin for error is not just financial, it's human. So where you have, you know, maybe your traditional job, you know, the margin of error is a financial impact. You know, the margin of error for people in our industry is human impacts, and that can be positive and negative. So it's hopefully the passion to make those more positively. So. [00:22:24] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes, indeed. Yeah, so, you know, I love the impact your company is making and the industry itself, like you said, is just such a cool place to be, and I think it really does invite those kinds of passionate people who are willing to just kind of be evangelists in a way for the rest of the industry in some fashion and really moving things forward. But because of the impact that's made, I'm wondering are there any moments that really stand out to you as affirming that, "hey, I am in the right place at the right time, in the right industry." [00:22:57] Sarah Ptach: Yeah. I mean, I definitely have some stories where you've-- without disclosing the details of a client-- but you know, you've been part of a launch that you watched that device go change the industry. I was a part of a company that was launching a, it's basically a, an organ transplant way of improving on how organs make it from, you know, the donor to the recipient. And it has improved patient outcomes tenfold to what they used to be. It's made it so that you could take, say, subpar lungs that used to not be able to be donated. And because of this technology, now it can, 'cause it, it has a way of it staying more intact while being transported. And you know, you get involved in those projects and, you know, you might just be helping at a small portion of it, like the sterilization or the packaging or just the biocom testing. But, you know, you watch the outcomes of that and it's like, "wow. Like I, I did that." You know, I've talked to people that work in consumer product goods and, you know, their Super Bowl is seeing their package on the grocery store aisle. And, you know, my, my Super Bowl is seeing the product that you played a part in, reach the market and change the world. Like that's, it's so cool. And to your point before you, you get to be in the room with such cool, innovative, smart people that came up with that product. I am, I'm honored to be the lab testing that is that silent backbone of medical innovation. But to be, you know, that trusted partner to, to get them to the finish line is a, it's a unique feeling, but it's really cool when you get to see a product that you played part of either touch a family member. I've been in an operating room before where I was the one being operated on 'cause I tore my ACL or did something and all I'm doing is looking at all the packaging, like, "Ooh, I did that. I tested that." Such a cool experience. It's sometimes it can be concerning 'cause you're sitting there while your doctor's trying to tell you to just get ready for surgery and you're staring at all the packaging. But it's, it's an awesome round to be in. [00:25:02] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh my goodness. I love that story so much. Yes. I mean, I could see that I, and I've talked to other folks who have similar experiences where they're, you know, they're kind of going along, something happens, they end up needing medical attention, or a family member does, and they go into the, to the hospital and they're like, "oh. I worked on that device" or "Oh, I did the cybersecurity for this one" or whatever, and just like how cool of a just full circle moment is that, and getting to watch in real time and in real life the impact that your work does. That is a huge honor and gift. [00:25:34] Sarah Ptach: Yeah, I I really did tear my ACL and my, and I also broke my back at one point in time, but my back surgeon and I have a really cool relationship and I think it's half because I was probably the biggest pain in the butt patient, 'cause leading up to that surgery it was like, "what device is it? What's the sterilization modality? Tell me what testing they did on it." And I got very lucky. My, my surgeon, his name's Dr. Michael Glisi, he has played actually a big role in getting some better improved medical devices to market both with Globus and with Arthrex. And now he plays a role in training other surgeons on how to best use those medical devices and technology. But it was such a unique relationship to get with him 'cause he's uniquely involved in the industry. So I think he, he maybe tolerates my 9 billion questions better than the average surgeon that just wants to operate on you and see you off. But it was a cool experience to get to, to have that relationship with him now after surgery and watch the impact that, that he's making on the industry as a surgeon too. So I think all stakeholders in this industry hold different areas of importance too. [00:26:49] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. Oh my goodness. Yes. And, yeah, I could talk about all of this for days and I'm loving this conversation, but I am gonna pivot it, just for fun. Imagine that you were to be offered a million dollars to teach a masterclass on anything you want, could be within your industry, but it doesn't have to be at all. What would you choose to teach? [00:27:13] Sarah Ptach: Ooh, that's a good question. I do think I would teach it on people leadership. You know, I, i've been in a lot of different roles and scenarios of people, leadership, especially through acquisitions, seeing, you know, the good, bad and ugly of what other folks do. And I've been really fortunate to have a lot of different mentors in my career that took very different leadership strategies. And I'm by no means saying that I'm the perfect people leader, but I think-- I can tell you a lot of different options and why they do and don't work. So if I was to teach a masterclass it'd probably be in that and I'd be heavy on the transparent leadership side. I'd be heavy on fostering a culture of people that are comfortable talking about issues. And it's not a easy thing to balance, I think with also driving, you know, the work product of the business and the financial success of the business. But being able to marry that, to marry, you know, having a great people culture and having, you know, people that, that love being a part of your company. It, to me, it is the most important part of actually driving your financial success of your company too. And I don't think a lot of people correlate that. You know, they think "I'm the ultimate financial driven CEO. I am the gross margin king." And, you know, " I'm driving my shareholder value." But I really think that, while all that is important, it starts with the people and the more you can get people to care about what they're doing beyond just their job, the more that the natural effect is improved gross margin and better financials. So the masterclass I'd probably teach is how to combine positive people, environment, and culture with good company financial success. [00:29:07] Lindsey Dinneen: Ooh, okay. That's a very powerful masterclass I wanna go take so, so sign me up for that, for sure. That's incredible. Yeah. And you have so much advice and insight and I could just tell, like, again, we could probably talk about this for hours and be very happy, so, yeah, I love that. Okay, and then how do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:29:30] Sarah Ptach: Yeah. Someone that, that cared deeply about the industry and was willing to to give it my all. You know, you, you jokingly said, "when do you sleep?" I'd argue not a lot, but it's because I love it. Like it's 'cause I love what I'm doing and if that means I'm gonna sacrifice some sleep to make sure the thePACKout is an awesome conference or the, you know, KIPP aseptic presentation team has what we need to change a standard or Canyon, you know, do something better and greater, I'll do it all day long. So yeah, I'd like to be remembered as, at the end of the day, she just really cared. And she was in it 110% at all times. [00:30:12] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. That's a beautiful legacy. Yes, absolutely. Okay, and then final question, what is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:30:23] Sarah Ptach: Oh, I love that one. I think someone realizing that the solution to the problem that they came up with was truly right and the solution. And it's like you worked through it yourself. You made it through maybe the hard parts of that decision making, but then you executed and hot dang, it worked. Like that is such a cool experience, especially when it's someone's first time ever having like the leadership role of solving a problem or, you know, the project manager role of solving that problem. It's super cool 'cause you get to watch someone's thought process play out. You get to watch where they see the pros and cons of their decision or the faults that could occur. And then you get to watch 'em navigate that, and then it succeeds and it's like, "hot dang, you did it." It's great. I love that. So that's probably something that makes me smile the most is when someone sees, their true potential being achieved, and they get to see it in the form of something as tangible as solving a problem. [00:31:22] Lindsey Dinneen: That is awesome. I love that so much. Oh my goodness. Well, this has been such an amazing conversation. I'm so thankful for you and for you being willing to share some of your time with me and with our listeners. So thank you so much for all the work you do, and thank you for being in the industry, being passionate about this industry and for being a change maker too, in the way that, you know, companies can operate and be successful. And we don't have to think about it just in terms of financial success, but we talk about it in terms of cultural success too. And so, I just really appreciate your perspective, so thank you for all the hard work you're doing to change lives for a better world. [00:32:02] Sarah Ptach: Thank you. Yeah, thank you, Lindsey. And likewise what you do. It's awesome to see you highlighting some of the stories in the industry and bringing together really good conversations like this. So thank you. [00:32:11] Lindsey Dinneen: Awesome. And we are so honored to be making a donation as a thank you for your time today to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, which is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson's disease through an aggressively funded research agenda and to ensuring the development of improved therapies for those living with Parkinson's today. So thank you for choosing that organization to support.

Bienvenido al episodio de Productividad Máxima, donde aparece la estrategia SPRINT 45-15: tres bloques de cuarenta y cinco minutos de foco intenso, seguidos de quince para convertir el trabajo en valor enviado, medido o delegado. Arrancamos con la historia de Apollo 13, un equipo bajo presión que ordenó el caos priorizando lo vital y cerrando cada tarea con un envío real. Ese mismo principio guía cada jornada: elegir lo crucial, cortar lo accesorio y diseñar procesos que conviertan energía en resultados. En menos, te ofrecen una ruta práctica que junta hábitos atómicos, la ley de Pareto y Parkinson para hacer del tiempo una palanca de progreso. ¿Qué pasaría si cada día fuera una serie de 45-15, con foco claro y cierre operativo?Se desglosan cinco pasos para hacer del sprint una rutina: anclajes breves que activan el modo foco, selección por impacto utilizando Pareto, ejecución de 45 sin distracciones, cierre de 15 con envío, docu-mentación y delegación, y una higiene de velocidad basada en atajos. Casos reales, como Nuria, muestran cómo tres sprints pueden generar ingresos extra y dejar tres avances concretos al día. Además, hay una guía lista para mañana: definir la tarea grande y dos medianas con verbo, objeto y medida, y planear qué se enviará exactamente en cada quince. Si buscas avanzar sin trabajar más horas, este episodio propone transformar impulso en resultados tangibles y, quizás, despertar la curiosidad sobre cuánto podría crecer tu negocio con un simple cambio de ritmo.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/productividad-maxima--5279700/support.Newsletter Marketing Radical: https://marketingradical.substack.com/welcomeNewsletter Negocios con IA: https://negociosconia.substack.com/welcomeMis Libros: https://borjagiron.com/librosSysteme Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/systemeSysteme 30% dto: https://borjagiron.com/systeme30Manychat Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/manychatMetricool 30 días Gratis Plan Premium (Usa cupón BORJA30): https://borjagiron.com/metricoolNoticias Redes Sociales: https://redessocialeshoy.comNoticias IA: https://inteligenciaartificialhoy.comClub: https://triunfers.com

Movement is medicine for all of us, but its power is crystalized by its impact on the progression of the neurodegenerative Parkinson's Disease. In this conversation, fitness instructor Ashlee Grieb and Kathleen Featherston—who lives with Parkinson's—reveal how consistent group exercise doesn't just build physical strength, it actively slows disease progression, supports brain health, and creates life-sustaining community connections. You'll discover why showing up matters more than perfection, how early Parkinson's symptoms often hide for years, and why moving your body is one of the most powerful tools for fighting chronic illness. Their message is clear: the gym isn't just about getting fit—it's about fighting back, finding joy, and building relationships that heal. LET'S TALK THE WALK!

Ambroxol, a common cough medicine, is now at the center of Parkinson's research. Scientists believe it may help the brain's "recycling system" work better, reduce toxic protein buildup, and possibly slow down disease progression. In this episode, I break down: -How ambroxol works in the brain -What past research has shown (including UCL's AIM-PD trial) -The latest findings from the 2025 randomized clinical trial in Parkinson's dementia -Details on the ASPro-PD Phase 3 trial now underway in the UK

Professors Bas Bloem and Werner Poewe discuss the practical management of re-emergent symptoms in Parkinson's disease, offering expert insights and guidance on how to recognise, assess, and address these challenges in daily clinical practice.

For fight fans and lovers of greatness we have the man who floated like a butterfly, stung like a bee and shook up the world, Muhammad Ali. In his career he won 56 fights and only lost five. On Oct. 29, 1960, he made his fight debut, the same year he threw his Olympic medal into the Ohio River after being refused service at a restaurant. On this day we caught up with the champ while he was in the hospital. At the time he said he would fight again, and he did, losing to Larry Holmes in an 11 round TKO and in 10 rounds to Trevor Berbick in 1981. The Holmes fight, they said, contributed to his Parkinson's syndrome. But as you will hear, he always kept his dignity. The photo is from another interview at the Coach House Inn in Milwaukee.

This is not a teaching episode. It’s not a checklist or a tidy list of stages. It’s a story — my story — about grief, love, and the spaces in between. In this deeply personal episode, I share the complicated grief that followed the unexpected death of my husband, David, in 1985, just two weeks after our divorce — a loss that wasn’t acknowledged but that shaped me for decades. I also speak openly about the anticipatory grief I’m experiencing now as my husband Terry, my late-life gift, faces a Parkinson’s diagnosis — and how my past informs my present. This conversation isn’t about answers. It’s about honesty. About the scars that never fully heal. About the love that remains. And about the shared, human experience of grieving — whether the loss happened long ago, recently, or hasn’t yet happened at all. Next week, we’ll continue the conversation with guest Prema Paxton, who transformed unimaginable loss into a mission of support for grieving parents. But for now, I invite you to sit with me in this tender space, where love and grief live side by side.

3. Tribal Politics and the Yellow Creek Massacre Professor Robert G. Parkinson, Heart of American Darkness: Bewilderment and Horror on the Early Frontier This section details the Yellow Creek Massacre. The frontier conflicts are described as tribal, involving native groups and colonial groups (Virginians, Pennsylvanians) battling over land, especially after the British left Fort Pitt. The massacre happened on April 30, 1774, at Baker's Bottom, targeting a band of Mingo natives. Logan's family, including his brother, sister, and mother, attempted diplomacy at a tavern but were ambushed and murdered by a group of men, including Daniel Greathouse, though none were named Cresap. Michael Cresap, later blamed in Logan's Lament, was absent. The violence was brutal; Logan's sister was killed after pleading for her infant son's life.

2. Washington, Land Speculation, and the Heart of American Darkness Professor Robert G. Parkinson, Heart of American Darkness: Bewilderment and Horror on the Early Frontier This section explores the theme of "bewilderment" on the American frontier, drawing parallels to Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. The conversation notes the intense confusion and tribal conflicts involving colonials, Native Americans, the French, and the British. A key focus is George Washington's role as a land speculator and partner in the Ohio Company. The company sought vast lands near the Forks of the Ohio (Pittsburgh). The Cresap family patriarch, Thomas Cresap, and his oldest son, Daniel, were original partners, making the Cresaps well-known to Washington and integral to the colonial advance that escalated tensions with the French.

6. Logan's Murder and Jefferson's Defense of America Professor Robert G. Parkinson, Heart of American Darkness: Bewilderment and Horror on the Early Frontier This section explores the fate of Logan and the cultural impact of his lament. A surveyor learned that Logan was murdered by his nephew, Todkahtos, around 1780 near Lake Erie. Logan was silenced because the Six Nations feared the powerful orator was too persuasive and unpredictable in the volatile Ohio country. The discussion pivots to Thomas Jefferson, who obtained the lament and featured it in his Notes on the State of Virginia. Jefferson used Logan's eloquence to counter the French naturalist Buffon's theory that everything in America was inferior and degenerate, aiming to prove American intellectual superiority in the Enlightenment.

7. The Battle for Logan's Legacy in McGuffey's Reader Professor Robert G. Parkinson, Heart of American Darkness: Bewilderment and Horror on the Early Frontier This section explores the political battle spurred by Logan's Lament. Jefferson used the lament in Notes on the State of Virginia to argue for American superiority against European claims of degeneracy, elevating Logan while condemning Michael Cresap. This triggered a ferocious counter-crusade by Luther Martin, an attorney married into the Cresap family, who defended the Cresaps as heroes and challenged Jefferson's facts. Nevertheless, the lament found widespread cultural traction. Due to its short, poignant nature, Logan's Lament was memorized by American schoolchildren for decades, notably through the McGuffey Readers, reinforcing the theme of the "vanishing Indian."

4. Logan's Vengeance and Lord Dunmore's War Professor Robert G. Parkinson, Heart of American Darkness: Bewilderment and Horror on the Early Frontier This section focuses on the multiple "bewildering" conflicts on the frontier as the Revolution began. Following the Yellow Creek Massacre, Logan, the former diplomat, became an avenger, killing nearly 20 people and deliberately slaughtering children in revenge for his family's deaths. This period coincided with Lord Dunmore's War, launched by the Virginia governor to assert colonial land claims against Native Americans, especially the Shawnee. When the Native Americans sought peace, Logan delivered his famous lament through translator John Gibson (who was related by marriage to Logan's murdered sister). The lament served as Logan's announcement that his personal vengeance was satisfied, ending his period of warfare.

. Logan's Lament and the Mingo/Cresap Frontier Conflict Professor Robert G. Parkinson, Heart of American Darkness: Bewilderment and Horror on the Early Frontier Professor Robert G. Parkinson's book Heart of American Darkness focuses on Logan's Lament, a famous 1775 document where Mingo chief Logan laments the 1774 murder of his family by "Colonel Cresap." Parkinson notes this is a misidentification; the actual killer was not a Cresap, though the Cresap family were powerful land speculators. Logan's father, Shikellamy, was an Oneida diplomat who partnered with James Logan, William Penn's secretary, establishing the origin of the Logan name. The frontier was characterized by shifting colonial borders (e.g., Maryland/Pennsylvania disputes) and escalating conflict with indigenous people. 1954

 8. Monuments, Darkness, and Contingency Professor Robert G. Parkinson, Heart of American Darkness: Bewilderment and Horror on the Early Frontier This section highlights the enduring conflict, which extended into the early 20th century through a "monument war" near Logan's Elm in Ohio. The Cresap Society funded a monument to clear their family name, leading locals to erect counter-monuments with the lament's text and a statue of Logan. Parkinson utilizes Joseph Conrad's metaphor of "the flicker" (human systems like patriotism, colonialism, and republics) attempting to illuminate the terrifying, bewildering "darkness" of the world. He notes that the aggressive colonial expansion seemed inevitable, but the specific outcomes were shaped by contingency and the biographies of individuals like Logan and Michael Cresap, whose actions were enabled and celebrated by the new American Republic. 1958

. Michael Cresap's Transformation into a Patriot Hero Professor Robert G. Parkinson, Heart of American Darkness: Bewilderment and Horror on the Early Frontier This section details the transformation of Michael Cresap from a figure blamed for frontier atrocities to a Patriot hero. Although blamed by Logan and British officials for the violence, Cresap answered the Continental Congress's call for riflemen, marching to Boston. These riflemen were lauded as "America's secret weapons" but were difficult to manage, causing George Washington to wish they hadn't come. Suffering from malaria, Cresap collapsed shortly after arriving and later died in New York City in October 1775. Patriot leaders, needing heroes to fight the British and rumored native alliances, emphasized Cresap's violent experience and volunteerism as core American traits. He was given a massive public funeral in New York.

Neurologist Ray Dorsey discusses the article "Expanding the Parkinson's universe of care for patients, caregivers, clinicians, and communities." In this episode, Ray reimagines Parkinson's care through a cosmic analogy, with patients as the sun at the center and caregivers, specialists, technologies, and advocacy networks orbiting around them. He highlights challenges such as access barriers, stigma, and fragmented gatekeeper systems, and proposes a hub-based model that colocates interdisciplinary specialists, integrates research with care, and emphasizes bidirectional relationships between patients and providers. Ray also explores how technologies like telemedicine and wearables serve as satellites to extend care access. Listeners will gain insight into how this expanded model could transform Parkinson's treatment and support for millions worldwide. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

What if you could walk away from corporate pressure, create a career on your own terms, and finally feel like you're making a real difference? That's exactly what Meghan Powers did when she left the skilled nursing world and built her private practice, Gateway to the Rockies Speech Therapy, in Aurora, Colorado.Meghan is a speech-language pathologist who has spent her career helping adults. But, after years working in SNFs, she realized she could no longer align with productivity standards that prioritized numbers over patient care. That frustration became the catalyst for her private practice journey. Meghan's journey into speech therapy began early—she was inspired as a teen while shadowing therapists in a pediatric clinic. She went on to work with both kids and adults before spending nearly a decade in skilled nursing. Over time, however, the corporate-driven demands of that environment took their toll. She was tired of seeing patients rushed through sessions and wanted to provide care based on what her clients truly needed—not what fit into an arbitrary productivity model. So, she took a leap of faith, joined the Start Your Private Practice Program, and launched her own business.At first, Meghan worked part-time at an assisted living facility while building her caseload. Within months, she transitioned fully into private practice—treating clients on her own schedule and building strong community partnerships along the way.In this episode, Meghan shares how she runs Gateway to the Rockies Speech Therapy, serving adults with Parkinson's, stroke, and voice disorders. She's known for functional, patient-centered care and strong collaboration with ENTs and PTs. As a mom, Meghan values the freedom to design her schedule around her son's life, taking family time when she chooses—something her patients wholeheartedly support.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:Making the leap from employee to business owner (without overthinking it)Building strong referral relationships through genuine connectionBalancing parenthood, life, and business with intentionAnd why she believes the more of us in private practice, the betterMeghan's story is proof that you can take your clinical skills, your passion, and your values—and turn them into a thriving, fulfilling business. With courage and community support, she created a practice that gives her freedom, flexibility, and impact on her own terms.Ready to create a private practice that gives you the flexibility and fulfillment you deserve—just like Meghan has?
