Cassie Choi, Co-Founder of Pair Team, partners with members in the community, such as nonprofits, homeless shelters, food pantries, and primary care providers, to provide healthcare and related services to underserved communities. Drawing on available resources, Pair Team is using digital technology to connect funding sources to these stakeholders so that they can provide the help that is needed by underrepresented and often overlooked patients. Cassie explains, "I think the issue when you look at Medicaid recipients and underserved communities is that they don't have anything at all. A lot of startups and companies aim for big high-achieving impact. That will happen, but we look at it as we have to earn the right to get there by improving the ecosystem little by little. What we do is provide this care coordination and care delivery to augment the existing systems. I think a differentiator for us, too, is that there are entities in the community that are trying to do this work, but they're really not empowered or enabled to do this." "I think when you look at the Medicaid population or low-income populations, there are a lot of assumptions that these folks are not engaged in care, which on some level is true. It's about figuring out how to engage them, reach them and meet them where they're at, and then bring them into the care delivery system." "For Pair Team, we've intentionally made our care accessible through text messages and phone calls. So, we don't create an app or a provider portal to log into. I even have a hard time with those. There are no telemed visits to figure out how to set up on your phone. Most people have phones. It's just they can text and make basic phone calls. And our team is trained to ask them, when do your minutes renew? How many minutes do you have? So that way you can meet them, meet their needs." #PairTeam #SDOH #SocialDeterminantsofHealth #HealthEquity #DigitalHealth #CommunityHealthWorkers #Medicaid #AtRiskPatients pairteam.com Listen to the podcast here

How do you make a park in the middle of Lake Superior accessible to people with disabilities? Natalie Chin and Marie Zhuikov from Wisconsin Sea Grant had the chance to travel to Stockton Island in the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore to see first-hand what the park is doing to make it more accessible.

This week we're talking to the incredible shining light that is Shenell Malloy. Shenell is a stage 4 Glioblastoma survivor, founder of Do Cancer, mom of two and has been in remission for 4 years. After being told that the average survival time is 12-18 months with this diagnosis and that 5% of patients live past 5 years, she became determined to not only live and survive through this cancer for herself and her family, but to also help others gain access to holistic healing modalities. She shares her journey through having such a terrifying diagnosis, treatment and how she prioritized herself and her health to get through treatment and the aftermath of it all. Shenell talks about how important it is for all of us to make time for ourselves and our healing rather than waiting until it's too late. She opens up about starting the Do Cancer organization, what it is and how you can get involved. Shenell is truly amazing and we're so excited for you to hear her story!

Dave Johnson: Welcome, everyone, to a special edition of Oncology, Etc., an oncology educational podcast designed to introduce our listeners to interesting people and topics in and outside the world of Oncology. Today's guest is my co-host, Dr. Pat Loehrer, who is the Joseph and Jackie Cusick Professor of Oncology and Distinguished Professor of Medicine at Indiana University, where he serves as the Director of Global Health and Health Equity. Pat is the Director Emeritus of the Indiana University Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center. Pat has many different accomplishments, and I could spend the next hour listing all of those, but I just want to point out, as many of you know, he is the founder of what formerly was known as the Hoosier Oncology Group, one of the prototypes of community-academic partnerships which have been hugely successful over the years.  He's also the founding director of the Academic Model for Providing Access to Healthcare Oncology Program, which has grown rather dramatically over the last 17 years. This includes the establishment of fellowship programs in GYN oncology, pediatric oncology, and medical oncology through the Moi University School of Medicine in Kenya. Through its partnership with the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, over 8000 cancer patients a year are seen, and over 120,000 women from western Kenya have been screened for breast and cervical cancer in the past five years. Pat is also the co-PI of the U-54 grant that focuses on longitudinal HPV screening of women in East Africa. He currently serves as a Senior Consultant of the NCI Cancer for Global Health.  So, Pat, welcome. We have with us today two special guests as well that I will ask Pat to introduce to you. Pat Loehrer: Dave, thanks for the very kind introduction. I'm so pleased today to have my colleagues who are working diligently with us in Kenya. The first is Terry Vik, who is Professor of Pediatrics here at Indiana University and at Riley Hospital. He's been the Director of the Fellowship Program and the Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Program and Director of the Childhood Cancer Survivor Program. He got his medical degree at Johns Hopkins and did his residency at UCLA and his fellowship at Dana-Farber. And he's been, for the last 10 to 15 years, been one of my co-partners in terms of developing our work in Kenya, focusing on the pediatric population, where he helps spearhead the first pediatric oncology fellowship in the country.  And then joining us also is Dr. Jennifer Morgan. Jenny is a new faculty member with us at Indiana University as an Assistant Professor. She, I think, has 16 state championship medals for track and field in high school. I've never met an athlete like that in the past. She ended up going to Northwestern Medical School. She spent time in Rwanda with Partners in Health, and through that, eventually got interested in oncology, where she completed her fellowship at University of North Carolina and has spent a lot of her time in Malawi doing breast cancer research. I don't know of anyone who has spent as much time at such a young age in global oncology.  Dave Johnson: So Pat, obviously, you and I have talked a lot over the years about your work in Kenya, but our listeners may not know about Eldoret. Maybe you can tell us a little bit about the history of the relationship between your institution and that in Kenya. Pat Loehrer: It's really a remarkable story. About 30 some odd years ago, Joe Mamlin and Bob Einterz, and Charlie Kelly decided they wanted to do a partnership in Global Health. And they looked around the world and looked at Nepal and looked at Mexico, and they fell upon Eldoret, which was in Western Kenya. They had the birth of a brand new medical school there, and this partnership developed. In the midst of this came the HIV/AIDS pandemic. And these gentlemen worked with their colleagues in Kenya to develop one of the most impressive programs in the world focused on population health and dealing with the AIDS pandemic. They called it the Academic Model for Prevention and Treatment of HIV/AIDS or AMPATH, and their success has been modeled in many other places. They have many different institutions from North America and Europe that have gone there to serve Western Kenya, which has a catchment area of about 25 million people.  About 15 to 20 years ago, I visited AMPATH, and what they had done with HIV/AIDS was extraordinary. But what we were seeing there in cancer was heartbreaking. It reminded us, Dave, as you remember back in the ‘60s and ‘70s with people coming in with advanced cancers of the head and neck and breast cancers that were untreated. And in addition, we saw these young kids with Burkitt's Lymphomas with huge masses out of their jaws. And seeing that and knowing what was possible, what we saw in the States and what seemed to be impossible in Kenya, spurred me on, as well as a number of other people, to get involved. And so, we have built up this program over the last 15 and 20 years, and I think it's one of the most successful models of global oncology that's in existence.  Dave Johnson: That's awesome. Terry, tell us a little bit about your involvement with the program at Moi University.  Terry Vik: Sure. So, I took an unusual path to get to Eldoret because I started off in work in signal transduction and protein kinases, then morphed into phase I studies of kinase inhibitors that was happening in the early 2000s. But by the end of the decade, Pat was beginning to establish oncology programs in Kenya. And because half the population is children and there were lots of childhood cancers, and many of them can be curable, he mildly twisted my arm to go with him to set up pediatric oncology in Kenya. And through his help and Matt Strother, who is a faculty member on the ground, establishing that, I first went in 2010 just to see how things were running and to see all the things that Pat had recognized as far as things that needed to be done to make Eldoret a center for cancer care.   And so, the last 13 years now, I've been working, going anywhere from one to four times a year to Kenya, mainly helping the Kenyans to develop their medical care system. Not so much seeing patients or taking care of patients, other than talking about best practices and how we do things in the US that can be readily translated to what's going on in Kenya. And so, we've been able to establish a database, keep track of our patients in pediatric oncology, recognize that lots of kids are not coming into care, not being diagnosed. There's a huge gap between numbers who you would expect to have childhood cancer versus the numbers actually coming to the hospital. As the only pediatric treatment center for a catchment area of 25 million, half of whom are under the age of 20, we should be seeing a lot of kids with cancer, but we are probably only seeing 10% of what we would expect.  So, myself, many of my colleagues from Indiana University, as well as colleagues from the Netherlands Princess Maxima Hospital for Pediatric Cancer, we've been partnering for these past 13 years to train Kenyans to recognize cancer, to have treatment protocols that are adapted for the capabilities in Kenya, and now finally starting to show real progress in survival for childhood cancer in Kenya, both in leukemias, lymphomas, and solid tumors, with a fair number of publications in Wilms tumor and Burkitt lymphoma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. So, it's been really heartening, I think.  I tell people that the reason I go to Kenya studying signal transduction and protein kinase inhibitors in pediatric cancer, I can maybe save a couple of kids over a career by that kind of work. But going to Kenya to show people how to find and treat kids with leukemia, I'm literally seeing the impact of hundreds of kids who are alive today that wouldn't be alive otherwise. So, that's really been the success of pediatric oncology there. Dave Johnson: Is the spectrum of childhood cancer in Kenya reflective of what we see in the States, or are there some differences? Pat Loehrer: It really is surprisingly similar. I think the only thing that– Well, two things that are more common in Kenya because of the so-called ‘malaria belt' and the association with Burkitt Lymphoma, there's a fair number of kids with Burkitt's Lymphoma there. Although, as mosquito control and malaria control has improved, actually, the numbers of cases of Burkitt's have been dropping, and a lot of cancers were sort of hidden, not recognized as leukemia or not recognized as other lymphomas. Just because if Burkitt's is endemic, then every swelling is Burkitt's. And I think that's been shown by looking at pathology retrospectively to say a lot of what they thought was Burkitt's was maybe not necessarily Burkitt's. And then nasopharyngeal carcinoma with Epstein-Barr virus prevalence also is a little bit more common than I'm used to seeing, but otherwise, the spectrum of cancers are pretty similar. So, it's heartening to know that we've been treating childhood cancers with simple medicines, generic medicines, for 50 years in the US. And so I like to tell people, I just want to get us up to the ‘90s, maybe the 2000s in Kenya, and that will really improve the survival quite a bit. Dave Johnson: You mentioned that there were adjustments that you were making in the therapies. Could you give us some examples of what you're talking about? Terry Vik: The biggest adjustments are that the ability to give blood product support, transfusions of platelets is somewhat limited. So, for instance, our ability to treat acute myeloid leukemia, which is heavily dependent on intensive myelosuppressive chemotherapy, we're not so good at that yet because we don't have the support for blood products. Similarly, the recognition and treatment of infections in patients is somewhat limited. Yet, just the cost of doing blood cultures, getting results, we actually have the antibiotics to treat them, but figuring out that there actually is an infection, and we're just beginning to look at resistance patterns in bacteria in Kenya because I think that's an indiscriminate use of antibiotics. In Kenya, there are a lot of resistant organisms that are being identified, and so figuring out how best to manage those are the two biggest things. But now, in Eldoret, we have two linear accelerators that can give contemporary radiation therapy to kids who need it. We have pediatric surgeons who can resect large abdominal tumors. We have orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons to assist. All those things are in place in the last three to five years. So, really, the ability to support patients through intensive chemotherapy is still one of the last things that we're working diligently on improving. Dave Johnson: So one thing that I've read that you've done is you're involved heavily in the creation of a pediatric oncology fellowship program. If I read it correctly, it's a faculty of one; is that correct? Terry Vik: Well, now that two have just graduated, it's a faculty of three, plus some guest lecturers. So I feel quite good about that.  Dave Johnson: So tell us about that. That must have been quite the challenge. I mean, that's remarkable. Terry Vik: That goes back to one of my longtime colleagues in Kenya, Festus Njuguna, who is Kenyan. He did his medical school training at Moi University and then did pediatric residency there. They call it a registrar program there. And then he was, since 2009, 2010, he's been the primary pediatric oncologist. Although he always felt he did not have the formal training. He'd spent time in the US and in Amsterdam to get some added training for caring for kids. But it was his vision to create this fellowship program. So Jodi Skiles, one of my colleagues who had spent some time in Kenya and myself and he worked on creating the fellowship document that needs to go through the university to get approved. That finally got approved in 2019. And so the first two fellows…I was on a Fulbright Scholar Award to start that fellowship program for a year right in the middle of the pandemic, but we were able to get it started, and I was able to continue to go back and forth to Kenya quite a bit in the last two years to get through all of the training that was laid out in our curriculum. And two fellows, Festus and another long-standing colleague of mine, Gilbert Olbara, both completed the fellowship and then sat for their final exams at the end of last year and graduated in December. So it really was heartwarming for me to see these guys want to build up the workforce capacity from within Kenya, and being able to support them to do that was a good thing. Pat Loehrer: Parenthetically, Dave, we had the first Gynecology Oncology program in the country, too, led by Barry Rosen from Princess Margaret, and they have 14 graduates, and two of them now are department chairs in Kenya. Jenny's spearheading a medical oncology curriculum now so that we have that opened up this year for the first time. Dave Johnson: It's uncommon to find a junior faculty as accomplished as Jenny. Jenny, tell us a little about your background and how you got interested in global health, and your previous work before moving to IU.  Jennifer Morgan: I was an anthropology major at undergrad at Michigan, and I think I really always liked studying other cultures, understanding different points of view. And so I think part of that spirit when you study anthropology, it really sticks with you, and you become a pretty good observer of people and situations, I think, or the goal is that you become good at it. I think my interest in medicine and science, combined with that desire to learn about different cultures really fueled a lot of my interests, even from undergrad and medical school. I really felt strongly that access to health is a human right, and I wanted to work for Partners in Health when I graduated from residency. I had heard a lot about that organization and really believed in the mission around it.   And so I went to work in Butaro in Rwanda, and I really didn't have any plans to do cancer care, but then I just kind of got thrown into cancer care, and I really loved it. It was a task-shifting model that really where you use internists to deliver oncology care under the supervision of oncologists from North America. So, most of them were from Dana-Farber or a variety of different universities. And so it made me feel like this high-resource field of Oncology was feasible, even when resources and health systems are strained. Because I think a lot of people who are interested in Oncology but also kind of this field of global health or working in underserved settings really struggle to find the way that the two fit sometimes because it can feel impossible with the hyper-expensive drugs, the small PFS benefits that drive the field sometimes. And so I think, Butaro for me, and Partners in Health, and DFCI, that whole group of people and the team there, I think, really showed me that it's feasible, it's possible, and that you can cure people of cancer even in small rural settings. And so that drove me to go to fellowship, to work with Satish Gopal and UNC. And because of COVID, my time in Malawi was a bit limited, but I still went and did mainly projects focused on breast cancer care and implementation science, and they just really have a really nice group of people. And I worked with Tamiwe Tomoka, Shakinah Elmore, Matthew Painschab, really just some great people there, and I learned a lot.  And so, when I was looking for a job after fellowship, I really wanted to focus on building health systems. And to me, that was really congruent with the mission of AMPATH, which is the tripartite mission of advancing education and research and clinical care. And I knew from Pat that the fellowship program would be starting off, and I think to me, having been in Rwanda and Malawi and realizing how essential building an oncology workforce is, being a part of helping build a fellowship as part of an academic partnership was really exciting. And then also doing very necessary clinical outcomes research and trying to do trials and trying to bring access to care in many systems that are very resource constrained. So that's kind of how I ended up here.  Pat Loehrer: That's awesome. So tell us a little bit about your breast cancer work. What exactly are you doing at the moment? Jennifer Morgan: In Malawi, during my fellowship, we looked at the outcomes of women with breast cancer and really looking at late-stage presentations and the fact that in Malawi, we were only equipped with surgery, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy, but not radiation. You see a lot of stage four disease, but you also see a lot of stage three disease that you actually have trouble curing because it's so locally advanced, really bulky disease. And so that first study showed us the challenge of trying to cure patients– They may not have metastatic disease, but it can be really hard to locally even treat the disease, especially without radiation. And so that's kind of what we learned.   And then, using an implementation science framework, we were looking at what are the barriers to accessing care. And I think it was really interesting some of the things that we found. In Malawi, that has a high HIV rate, is that the stigma around cancer can be far more powerful than the stigma around HIV. And so, we are seeing a lot of women who are ostracized by their communities when they were diagnosed with cancer. And really, they had been on, many HIV-positive women, on ARVs for a long time living in their communities with no problem, and so HIV had kind of been destigmatized, but we're seeing the stigma of cancer and the idea that kids are as a death sentence was a really prominent theme that we saw in Malawi.  So some of these themes, not all of them, but some of them are very similar in Kenya, and so what I'm helping work on now is there's been this huge effort with AMPATH called the Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program, where around 180,000 women have been screened for breast cancer in a decentralized setting which is so important - so in counties and in communities. We're looking at who showed up to this screening and why did women only get breast cancer screening and why did some of them only get cervical, and why did some get what was intended - both. Because I think many people on the continent and then other LMICs are trying to do breast and cervical cancer co-screening to really reduce the mortality of both of those cancers. And the question is, I think: is mammography a viable screening mechanism in this setting or not? That's a real question in Kenya right now. And so we're going to be looking to do some studies around mammography use and training as well.  Dave Johnson: So, I have a question for all three of you. What lessons have you learned in your work in Kenya or Malawi that you've brought back to the States to improve care in the United States? Pat Loehrer: One is that the cost of care is ever present there. And so one of the things that we need to think about here is how can we deliver care more cheaply and more efficiently. It goes against the drug trials that are going on by industry where they want to use therapy for as long as they can and for greater times. And there are a lot of common things like access to care is a big issue there, and it's a big issue in our country. So we have used in IU some community healthcare workers in rural parts of our state as well as in the urban centers so that they can go to people's houses to deliver care.  Terry was involved with a wonderful project. It was a supplement from the NCI, which looked at barriers to care and abandonment of therapy. And just by giving patients and their families a small stipend that would cover for their travel and their food, the abandonment rate went down substantially, and they were able to improve the cure rate of Burkitt's Lymphoma. It's probably about 60% now. And so those are issues that I think we see here in our state, where people can't come to IU because of the cost of parking, that's $20 a visit. The lesson there is that we really need to get down to the patients and to their families and find out what their obstacles are.  Terry Vik: My favorite example, since I deal with kids and parents, is how striking parents are the same worldwide. They all want the best for their child. They all want anything that can be done to potentially cure them, treatment, they do anything they could. And I think the hardest thing, as Pat said, is the financial burden of that care. And the other thing that I bring back to my fellows in the US is that you don't have to do Q4-hour or Q6-hour labs to follow somebody when they start their therapy. Once a day, every 3 days, works quite well also. And just the realization that things can be done with a lot less stress in the US if you only decide to do it. Dave Johnson: Jenny, any thoughts from you on that? Jennifer Morgan: I think for me, decentralized cancer care is so important. Even being back on the oncology wards in Indiana in December, I saw a couple of really advanced patients who were really unfortunate, and they had tried to go through the system of referrals and getting to cancer care. And unfortunately, I think there are disparities in the US health system, just like in Kenya, and maybe on different scales. But cancer care that's accessible is so important, and accessible versus available, I think we a lot of time talk about therapies that may be available, but they're not accessible to patients. And that's really what we see in Kenya, what we see in rural Indiana. There are a number of grants that talk about reciprocal innovation because some of these things that we do in Kenya to minimize burden on the system are things that can be done in rural Indiana as well. And so, partnership on these issues of trying to improve decentralized care is important everywhere.  Pat Loehrer: And again, from the perspective as a medical oncologist, we see patients with late-stage diseases. We could eradicate the number one cause of cancer in Sub-Saharan Africa, cervical cancer, from the face of the earth just by doing prevention. We don't do enough in our country about prevention. The other dimension I guess I wanted to bring up as far as multidisciplinary care - when we think about that in our country, it's radiation therapy, surgery, medical oncology, but one of the lessons learned there is that the fourth pillar is policy. It's really about cancer policy and working with the government, Ministry of Health to affect better insurance cover and better care and to work with a different discipline in terms of primary care, much more strongly than we do in our country.  Dave Johnson: Are you encountering similar levels of vaccine hesitancy in Kenya as you might see in the States, or is that something that's less of an issue? Pat Loehrer: I'll let Terry and Jenny answer that. Terry Vik: I think there is some degree of vaccine hesitancy, and not so much that it's fear of the vaccine, but it's fear of the people pushing the vaccine. If it's coming from the government or if it's coming from outside drug companies or outside physician recommendations, it's less likely to be taken up. And if it's coming from within their own community or if it's their chiefs and their community leaders they respected, then I think there is less vaccine hesitancy certainly in a lot of things we do in pediatrics. So I think there is hesitancy, but it's coming from a different source than what we see in the US.   Jennifer Morgan: I would agree, and I think also COVID has changed the game on vaccine perceptions everywhere, and I don't think Kenya is spared from that either. So it may take a few years to see really what's going on with that.   Pat Loehrer: Jenny and I were at this conference, it's a Cancer Summit in Nairobi a couple of weeks ago, and we saw this little documentary there. And this notion of misinformation, as we've seen in our country, is also common over there. They were interviewing a number of men and women from Northern Kenya about prostate cancer, which is a very serious problem in Kenya. The notion was that even doing PSA screening caused infertility, and so the men and women didn't want their husbands to get screened for prostate cancer because they would become less fertile by doing that. So, again, there are lessons that we– as Jenny mentioned from the top about anthropology, I think we're all connected, we all have different ways of viewing communications in health, but I do think that we can learn from each other substantially. Dave Johnson: I mean, it's remarkable work. How is it funded?  Pat Loehrer: Well, I've been fortunate to be able to work with some friends who are philanthropists. We've had strong support as we've told our story with various different foundations. And we've been very grateful to Pfizer, who are very helpful to us in the early stages of this - Lilly Foundation, Takeda, Celgene. And I think as we basically share our vision of what we're trying to accomplish, we've been very humbled by the support that we have gotten for us. The U54 helps support some of the research. We have D43 we're doing through Brown University. So we plan to increase our research funding as best as we can. But this is active generosity by some wonderful people. We have a $5.5 million cancer and chronic care building in which a large sum of it came from Indiana University and the Department of Radiation Oncology. Dr. Peter Johnstone helped lead that. There was a Lilly heir that gave us quite a bit of money. An Indian Kenyan named Chandaria also donated money. So it's a matter of presenting the vision and then looking for people that want to invest in this vision.  Well, I just want to say, from my perspective, I am more of a cheerleader than on the field. But Terry, I know you spent a tremendous amount of time on the ground in Kenya, and Jenny, you're living there. I just wanted to say publicly that you guys are my heroes. Dave Johnson: Yeah. I think all of our listeners will be impressed by what they heard today, and we very much appreciate you both taking time to chat with us.  So at this point, I want to thank our listeners of Oncology, Etc., an ASCO Educational Podcast.

Dr. Bethany Doran, the CEO of Enabled Health, is using a healthcare model that identifies patients at high risk of hospitalization or who need help managing a chronic condition. With a focus on predominantly older patients, Enabled Health works with community partners and senior living facilities to allow patients access to remote monitoring systems, digital tools, and on-site visits. Bethany explains, "Our goal is to meet them where they are spiritually, holistically, and geographically and be able to provide them with the equipment to enable access to telemedicine and support their health. But also, to meet them in person, in some cases, and just be a good steward and guide to them on their healthcare journey."  "We spend a good amount of time just listening to their medical history, how they've been doing, any challenges, and reconciling any medications they have. Then we also provide them with equipment to enable telemedicine and telemonitoring. They have a tablet that can either link to wifi, or in some cases, it's cellular, but allows the patient to engage in telemedicine as well for those times that we can't be in-person." "Going in-person to the assisted living facilities we work with, we'll go once per month in person and set them up for telemedicine for the rest of their visits. But we think it's really important to maintain our relationships with patients, just serving as a partner in health. Not relying only on telemedicine or telemonitoring and thinking that will fix everything about a patient's health, but be there as a true partner and use that as a tool to expand instead access for patients." #Telehealth #Telemedicine #ChronicDiseases #HealthEquity #RuralHealthcare #DigitalHealth #ChronicCareManagement #RemotePatientMonitoring enabled.healthcare Listen to the podcast here

Subscription-based law firms are shaking up the legal practice in BIG ways. Many actions that lawyers complete, drafting documents, reviewing files, monitoring trademarks, etc. can be paid for on a subscription model and Mathew Kerbis wants to convince you of this. And you will believe him. Kerbis, as he prefers to be called, even shared the magic of subscription-based legal service with his employer. The insurance defense company ultimately decided to keep their billable hour requirements, but this did not deter Kerbis. Transparent pricing, transparent agreements, and having the feeling that you could do this; you could be a subscription attorney, is Kerbis' model. Imagine not being billed when your attorney is researching an issue. This a task that could be 80% of the time spent by an attorney while working on your case. Kerbis does not bill for this task because he will take that research and use it for his Knowledge Base which allows him to serve more clients who could potentially have that same question."Engagement agreements are an earned fee immediately, the opposite of a retainer fee, where the client is billing against the retained money," explains Kerbis.Chair of the Law Student Division of the ABA (like being president of the group and traveling to learn more about law students). Then ran for Chair of the Young Lawyers Division. The entire purpose was to find ways to innovate the legal practice and find ways to make members of the American Bar Association, Kerbis was a member of the young lawyers' division founding podcast team. Learning to record and edit and release podcasts. Took all that knowledge and used it to teach others bout subscription-based legal services. Kerbis started his podcast, The Law Subscribed, to inform others about subscription-based legal services and to use his background in performing arts. The Law Subscribed is all about bringing the subscription model to legal services. Kerbis relies on tech tools, like Calendly and time-blocking, to ensure that he prioritizes time with his family and away from work responsibilities. Working hard, working with technology, working on tasks that you enjoy, and managing your schedule in the way that you want to, makes running your own business a better option than the comforts of working a typical 9 to 5 job. EPISODE TIMESTAMPS 00:01 - INTRO: Welcome to You Are A Lawyer hosted by Kyla Denanyoh00:35 - Welcome to the podcast, Mathew Kerbis. 00:47 - You actually prefer to be called Kerbis. Would you tell the audience about yourself?01:55 - I went to law school intended to work in transactional law, but podcasting has helped me when transactional law is too much writing (re: boring)02:15 - With your litigation background, was hosting the podcast, The Law Subscribed, an easy transition for you?03:14 - I think that having a child is a really big eye-opening situation. Would you share more details about billable hours and why you wanted to get away from that demand?05:45 - And you're running your own law firm full-time?06:00 - It is wild that leaving a 9-to-5 to run your own business, even if working 20 out of 24 hours, could be less work than working at a law firm with billable hours.07:41 - Did you learn how to time block, or block scheduling, from billing your time at the law firm, or studying in law school?09:55 - I asked about time blocking because I did that in law school and now, I live by checklists and reminders. I think time blocking is really beneficial. 12:36 - Planning your schedule and time blocking sounds like stress and anxiety management. 13:01 - Kerbis, what made you go to law school?14:59 - A professor sparked your interest in the law. And when you were in law school did you know that you wanted to be a litigator?17:01 - It sounds like being a litigator was a stair step to the career that you have now.17:14 - I call the podcast You Are A Lawyer because I truly believe that everything you do in life will be viewed through the lens of a lawyer. Law school has a way of re-wiring the brain. 17:49 - Let's discuss the Law Subscribed Podcast and The Subscription Attorney LLC. Which came first, the podcast or the business?19:35 - People thought that the subscription model was really cool but didn't understand it.  21:10 - What does it mean to have an attorney with the subscription model? Are you on retainer for every client?22:20 - Subscription-based legal services are not retainer agreements. Subscribers with The Subscription Attorney sign engagement agreements because subscribers get immediate access to resources and Kerbis' calendar which makes an engagement agreement an earned fee. 26:05 - Is the subscription package a national service or would you make referrals to lawyers in a different state?27:14 - A brief explanation of fractionalized in-house counsel, which does not only include business transactions. If Kerbis is unable to assist you with a family law or adoption matter, subscribers will be referred to other lawyers.29:08 - On your website, subscriptionattorney.com mentions legal services for freelancers.

With a passion to build community and a love of agriculture, Will Kornegay has built a business that connects people, reduces food waste and provides access to fresh-from-the-farm produce. Based in rural North Carolina, Will saw a lot of produce was wasted on farms because there wasn't a market for it. Perhaps it was misshapen or got scratched up a bit during harvest. But it was still perfectly good. So Will started making a market for it while building means of access for those in rural food deserts and major cities too. Ripe Revival now does subscription boxes and is in the process of modifying buses to be part farmer's market & part cooking class.  

As the managing member of Levine Family Law Group and the CEO of Hello Divorce, Erin Levine is the prototype of the kind of lawyerpreneur that this podcast has always sought to highlight. She is also using her platform and entrepreneurship to help provide access to justice to those in need. Levine is a founding member of the recently-launched Justice Technology Association, where my co-host today, Maya Markovich, is the executive director.During the interview, Levine talks about experiencing burnout with her business and law practice, and coming out on the other side of it. A part of the burnout she experienced was the disintegration of the meaning and satisfaction she derived from problem-solving for others in her family law practice. When she realized that traditional family law approaches weren't meeting people's needs, she reached for a new method and a new model. And Hello Divorce was born, allowing Erin Levine to incorporate her creativity back into a business that would meet the needs of more people.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/lawyerpreneur)

  James Chen has dedicated the last 20 years to addressing the issue of poor vision. He founded Clearly, a global campaign to educate the public and world leaders and raise the profile of the issue — championing innovation and spreading best practices that help make sight tests and affordable glasses available to all, as well as connecting people committed to tackling this issue so we can all be a catalyst for change.  As part of this work, James convinced 52 countries at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) to pledge affordable eye care for all, created the first UN working group on poor vision and completed research which found glasses had the largest productivity increase of any other health intervention.  He is creating a tipping point in how poor vision is viewed on the global health agenda, culminating in the unanimous UN ‘Vision for All by 2030' resolution in the summer of 2021. In this episode, James also explains his passion for moonshot philanthropy and why it's important to think big, take calculated risks and, in his words, privatise failure and socialise success, whereby philanthropists absorb the costs when things don't quite work out and they share with the wider world when interventions succeed.

Getting access to responsible financial services has been a long journey for our Latinx communities in the United States. However, it is these very tools like access to credit-building that are key to creating generational wealth. Ask Mexican immigrant Sam Ulloa, who witnessed this first hand. Today, finding solutions for underserved communities is a personal mission of his. As CEO & Co-Founder of Listo!, Ulloa runs a fintech platform that is democratizing access to fairly priced, life-changing financial services for millions of hardworking and often "credit invisible" families in the US. He is a two-time founder in the fintech space, Stanford's School of Business graduate and started his journey in the US working with his parents in agriculture and observing the gaps in the tools first generation and immigrant Latinos needed to build a financial record. Listo! has already helped thousands of hardworking families save more than $190M in loan interest and fees and over $6M in auto insurance-related fees. Today we speak with Sam more about his journey and mission to provide access to credit, among other financial services with Listo!

He's the co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer of https://www.diallapp.com/ (Diall), and the creator and creative force behind Vasco Creative, an early-stage creative consulting firm. He's also the Chief Marketing Officer at Kavira Health.

In 2018, Salita was awarded a SIIF Grant for photography and moved to Hong Kong to study at Lingnan University and document the elderly residents of Fu Tei. He exhibited the resulting collection of photographs in the Solarium Gallery, NY upon his return. In 2019, Salita moved to London to be the creative director for Learn To Trade, a financial education company having taught over 300,000 students worldwide. During this time, Salita led creative strategy for the United Kingdom, Philippines, South Africa and Australian branches. In 2020, Salita returned to Minnesota and founded Vasco Creative, an early-stage creative consulting firm.

On the horizon, he is looking to bring his experience and passion of solving the world's greatest problems to angel investing in early-stage impact ventures.

Their flagship product - Kredivo “Buy now, Pay later”, enables e-commerce buyers to apply and qualify for instant credit and pay back over time, with the aim of increasing access to credit to countries like Indonesia.What are the various benefits of the “Buy now, Pay later” solution to a developing market like Indonesia? What are some of the risks associated to this sort of financing?To answer these questions and more, I speak to Abhijay Sethia,Head of Strategy, FinAccel, for his expert insights.

placemakingpodcast@gmail.com Facebook-f Twitter Linkedin Instagram Providing Access to Technologies Through Investing in Communities with Bryan & Alex – Ep. 50 About the Guest I am extremely excited to share this next conversation with all of you. Today on the show I have Bryan Feil and Alex Jones of Bitwise Industries. Bryan Feil serves as the VP of Real Estate Development at Bitwise Industries, overseeing the coworking, building development, and hospitality teams. Bryan assistants in locating, designing, and identifying architectural partners for each Bitwise Real Estate project. He especially enjoys being able to help Bitwise's city expansion projects and revitalizing downtowns through growth and development. Bryan Feil grew up in Bakersfield, CA with the desire to use business as a tool to impact lives. That passion took its first form in co-founding and developing Neighborhood Industries, an organization focused on operating businesses that reveal value in people so that they can be positive contributors to their community. Alex has seven years of experience in the Civil Engineering industry.  He has worked on water & wastewater treatment projects, residential subdivisions while working as an Assistant Engineering for consulting firms located within the Central Valley of California.  Currently, Alex works for Bitwise Industries as a Project Manager for the Real Estate Development Team. Day-to-day activities include defining and tracking project scopes, schedules, and budgets to meet project targets. He also monitors progress and coordinates work with architects, contractors, and engineers.  Since July 1, 2013, the day they opened Bitwise Mural District, they've focused on connecting humans from marginalized communities and stories of systemic poverty to skills and resources necessary to access opportunities in the tech industry. They do this through their three main pillars which include Bitwise Real Estate, Bitwise Technology Consulting, and Bitwise Workforce Training. This company has an interesting business model. I would highly recommend you learn more about their work by finding them online at bitwiseindustries.com. In this episode, we are going to discuss how their campus projects help to fulfill the mission of Bitwise, a behind-the-scenes look into the criteria they use when evaluating potential projects, and how to build excitement in the surrounding community for your upcoming project. There is loads of great information in this episode and I greatly appreciated Bryan and Alex for taking the time out of their extremely busy schedules to discuss this topic of providing access to technologies by investing in communities with me. As always, if you have enjoyed the show, please subscribe to the show and share it with your friends in the industry. There will be more exciting conversations on the shows to come. Main Take-Away's From This Show This was another fun episode to record. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing about Bryan and Alex's experience at Bitwise. It's fun to hear how two seemingly very different individuals can team up to make really cool things happen in these communities through Bitwise Industries. Some might say that the lack of formal training has actually been their greatest asset when tackling these projects. They don't take anything for granted and ask tons of questions. This mindset will take them a long way with Bitwise. There were so many great talking points that Bryan and Alex made throughout the discussion, so it is hard to just pick three for my main take-away's this week. The following main topics of the show come from an understanding of placemaking that they both possess. 1. How to Build Excitement and Connection with the Surrounding Community with your Project2. Who said Older Buildings aren't Exciting3.

In our final episode of the season, President Pumariega from Miami Dade College enlightens us on her experience as the first woman and Latino in more than one career role. We also explore the meaning of "all access education". You don't want to miss this one. Madeline Pumariega President, Miami Dade College Breaking through barriers and making history, Madeline Pumariega is the first female president to lead Miami Dade College (MDC), the institution she attended decades earlier as a student-athlete. Her passion for innovation in higher education was born out of her own experiences, first as student and then as a longtime administrator at MDC. President Pumariega prioritizes working with business partners to identify the skills needed in key industries and tailoring higher education programs to match those needs. Her transformative approach accelerates the ability of graduates to enter the workforce immediately upon the completion of their coursework. Prior to becoming MDC's President, Pumariega was appointed the first female and Hispanic chancellor of the Florida College System (FCS). In that role, she designed and implemented strategies to keep college accessible and affordable for Floridians especially in high-demand job fields. During President Pumariega's tenure, several of the FCS's 28 colleges––which serve 800,000 students––rose in the rankings of US News & World Report as well as other national measures. Florida was also named number one in higher education by US News Report. In 2019, she became the executive vice president and provost of Tallahassee Community College, where her innovative approaches advanced the College's three core divisions: academic affairs, student affairs and workforce development. President Pumariega helped lead the school during the unprecedented response to the COVID-19 pandemic and pivoted the college's infrastructure to support virtual classroom instruction and student-teacher interaction. She also serves as Affiliate Professor of Leadership at the NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. She also previously served as president of Take Stock in Children, a statewide non-profit focused on breaking the cycle of poverty by helping students complete their high school education and advance into post-secondary education and careers. President Pumariega has a passion for ensuring that students have a path toward upward economic mobility through educational opportunities. President Pumariega's love for academics and service excellence began as a student at Miami Dade College. This led into her 20 years of service at the College in positions of ascending responsibility, culminating in her role as Wolfson Campus President. She views her new role as MDC's president as the opportunity of a lifetime, because it presents her with the greatest ability to serve students who were just like her –– looking for a chance to realize their dreams and succeed in the community they love and call home, Miami. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Chuck Staben is the former president of the University of Idaho. Attending public universities, he earned his PhD at the University of California-Berkeley in biochemistry. He spent the next 19 years as a professor, department chair, associate vice president for research, and acting head of the Research Office at the University of Kentucky.

In this episode, Chuck describes some of the barriers preventing people from accessing higher education, including moving away from home and a lack of finance and planning for the future; argues non-revenue sports are a good investment for the state and that more dollars should be spent on athletics and attracting student athletes, and explains why “it’s graduating from college that makes the difference” to a student’s future and the economy.

The pandemic is sparing no one, even in the tropical paradise of Hawaii. I talk with the Hawaiian State Law Librarian, Jenny Silbiger about how she lead her staff through the transition to remote work and service to the courts, the bar, and to the citizens across the multiple islands of Hawaii. As many law librarians do, she reached out to others across the country and sought best practices guidance from librarians, museum curators, and government agencies like the CDC.

In Episode 11, we explore humanitarian supply chains and international development. This is Part 1 of 2 lightning talks with Pretty Mubaiwa, PhD Public Law Candidate and UCT Regional Coordinator for the Africa Resource Center. Pretty works in disruptive supply chain to provide critical medicine, access, and care at the point of need. The mantra of this organization is African led, African inspired, and to improve lives of African people. International Development is an extremely complex environment. In many parts of the world, governments run humanitarian supply chains as a public service. Coordinating how the medicines are sourced, and working with donors and partners is often not well-coordinated. Problems start at the national level, and if the government doesn’t get it right, people lose their lives. In this episode, we discuss the donor relationship, central medical stores, working without a demand signal, impacts of cold chain on inventory management, the opportunity for network infrastructure and 3PL/last mile delivery, and how supply chain is an underdeveloped industry without education programs in place to support the people who need it the most.

This podcast mainly focuses on the artist and the creative, the actor or composer or director, etc. But in today’s episode I’m turning the tables and focusing on the audience, specifically those who are deaf and hard of hearing. Their access to what we do onstage is often limited and often times they can’t make it to the theater because there is no way provided for them to understand what is happening. That’s where sign language interpreters come in and provide access for this underserved community of theater-goers. (Click here for a full transcript of this episode at the WINMI Blog.) The history of ASL-interpreted shows is actually fairly young. It was not until the early 1980s that the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles would offer the first regularly-scheduled ASL-interpreted performances of theatre in the nation. This was spurred on by its own success with the play Children of a Lesser God in 1979, which went on to a Broadway production and won the Tony Award for Best Play in 1980. (Source: howlround.com, an essay by David Kurs) In fact, Children of a Lesser God had a Broadway revival a couple of years ago and I was grateful to have one of the actors from that play, John McGinty, on the podcast. (Listen to that conversation here: smarturl.it/johnmcginty) As I was putting together this episode, I contacted John again and asked him about the importance of ASL-interpreted shows: "It is imperative to show that audiences prefer the personal aspect that a great, certified, sign language interpreter can bring to a theater performance. It helps build a “family” and a sense of belonging in the audience for those who happen to be Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Also, once the audience sees that the show is interpreted, they will be able to leave and say, 'Hey, I saw a show that was interpreted.' This will at least build a foundation and awareness of the Deaf/HoH community in their future." Recently one of our FOOTLOOSE shows on Norwegian Cruise Lines was ASL-interpreted by two women who travel to many different events and venues to provide sign language interpretation, Heidi Johnson and Mia Engle. In all my contracts aboard ships I’ve never seen ASL done for any show, so it was a real honor to be a part of the night’s presentation and it was an even bigger pleasure to sit down with them and talk about the important work they do. These are some of the people and topics covered in this episode: Mairéad MacSweeney - Director of the Deafness, Cognition, and Language Research Centre at the University College London Children of a Lesser God - A play by Mark Medoff based on a story written about deaf characters for deaf actors in the late ‘70s—featuring a deaf woman named Sarah Norman who falls in love with a speech therapist named James Leeds. John McGinty - Deaf actor and advocate, who also teaches sign language David Kurs - Artistic Director of Deaf West theater company Prosody - the rhythmic structure, intonation, and stress in spoken and signed languages ---------- The time and expense needed to bring these guests and conversations to you each week is sometimes challenging but always rewarding.
