It's crucial to recognize the significant impact that sleep, or lack thereof, can have on our employees' productivity and overall well-being. As managers, we often overlook the various factors that can affect their sleep patterns, which in turn influence their performance during the workday. Factors such as travel, dietary habits, level of physical activity, stress levels, and excessive use of gadgets all play a role in disrupting our employees' sleep routines and personal circadian rhythms. For instance, frequent travel can disrupt one's sleep schedule due to jet lag and changes in time zones. Unhealthy eating habits or consuming stimulants like caffeine late in the day can interfere with the ability to fall asleep or stay asleep throughout the night. Similarly, inadequate exercise or high levels of stress can lead to restless nights and decreased sleep quality. Moreover, the excessive use of electronic devices before bedtime, such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops, can disrupt the body's natural sleep-wake cycle due to the blue light emitted by these devices, thus making it harder for individuals to fall asleep. As managers, it's essential for us to be mindful of these factors and create a supportive environment that promotes healthy sleep habits among our employees. This could involve offering flexibility in work schedules to accommodate varying sleep needs, providing resources or workshops on stress management and sleep hygiene, and fostering a culture that prioritizes work-life balance. By acknowledging and addressing the impact of sleep on our employees' lives, we can ultimately enhance their well-being, productivity, and satisfaction in the workplace. Bijoy E.

So I always kind of throw the question right back at the host and say, you tell me what organ you want and I'll tell you what it happens. Where are the big ones? I mean, we always think about the brain. We think the brain about in a medical sense, in a psychological sense. When we talk about having being sleep deprived or not getting good quality and quantity sleep, it adds things to depression. It adds to things like anxiety. It's going to be a risk factor for things like stroke. So it's horrible when we talk about the heart needless to say that when we talk about that poor quality and quantity sleep, yes, you're going to be at a higher risk for things like coronary artery disease, things like heart failure, things like arrhythmias. And the way I kind of summarize it is that at nighttime, what happens to our blood pressure and our heart rate? Well, they tend to take a break. They tend to dip down a little bit so they could take the stress off the heart. It's beating so hard during the day, but when you have poor sleep at night, you're never giving your body a chance to rest, especially if you have undiagnosed sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea that affects 30 million people in t...

Episode 137. Following on from a workshop titled “JEDI Journey: This is the Way,” our diverse panel discusses the importance of processes such as integrating the social determinants of health (SDOH) into information systems via Z codes to advance Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (JEDI) & anti-racism. With episode host Charla Johnson, DNP, and guests Tonya Jagneaux, MD, Holly Pilson, MD, and Daytheon Sturges, PhD. The group also explores achieving workforce diversity in general and orthopedic surgery specifically, which is the least diverse specialty of all. With current trends it will take 217 years to reach parity in terms of race and gender representation, and the group shares strategies for accelerating the pace. We hear how part of the challenge is getting diverse students into schools, but once this is achieved the environment must be set up for success. Otherwise, tokenism can lead to isolation and burnout. With pointers towards actionable steps and resources, this episode takes DEI up a notch. © Copyright Movement is Life 2022-2023 Host: Charla Johnson, DNP, RN-BC, ONC Secretary, Board of Directors, Movement is Life System Director, Nursing Informatics Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System Baton Rouge, LA Featuring: Tonya Jagneaux, MD, MSHI, FCCP Chief Medical Information Officer – OLOL Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine, Pulmonary/Critical Care, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, Baton Rouge Campus Holly Pilson, MD, FAAOS, FAOA Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Trauma, Vice Chair of Social Impact, Co-Director of Diversity and Inclusion, Co-Director of Clinical Research, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, Affiliate Faculty of Maya Angelou Center for Health Equity, Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, Wake Forest University School of Medicine Daytheon Sturges, PhD, MPAS, PA-C, DFAAPA, CHES® Assistant Professor of Family Medicine, Vice Chair for JEDI, Associate Program Director for Regional Affairs and Academic Affairs, JEDI, MEDEX Northwest Physician Assistant Program, University of Washington School of Medicine Physician, University of Washington Primary Care – Northgate Producer/Editor/Writer: Rolf Taylor  Resources:  USING Z CODES: The Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Data Journey to Better Outcomes: https://www.cms.gov/files/document/zcodes-infographic.pdf Advancing excellence in PA education through leadership, scholarship, equity, and inclusion.

Carl Frizell et al: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34817435/ Excerpts:  We need to do a rebranding and a paradigm shift, so that we don't view diversity as a risk, but we view it as a strength, and we view it as beautiful. I use that term because this is not only hard work it is heart work, and there is some emotional exhaustion that comes with that.” ~ Daytheon Sturges PA-C “It's voluntary in 2023 then mandatory in 2024 to be screening for social determinants of health for Medicare and Medicaid for reimbursement. So, people really need to understand the importance of this, and it can't be just another check the box. At Our Lady of the Lake we have a marketing slogan, “we listen, we heal,” – which is perfect alignment with integrating social determinants of health.” ~ Charla Johnson, DNP “Just like we look at things like A1C, I'd like to see Z codes be reviewed routinely so we ask the questions, have we resolved food insecurity, have we resolved homelessness, and we can report on that and close that loop. And I really appreciate a provider wanting to use Z codes.” ~ Tonya Jagneaux, MD “From the vantage point of the good, the bad, and the ugly, the good is that the trend for gender and race diversity is that orthopedic surgery has got better. But the bad is that we remain, year after the year, the least gender, race and ethnically diverse specialty in all of medicine, recruitment efforts alone have not reversed that. To get to parity at the present rate would take 217 years.” ~ Holly Pilson, MD “I liked how you laid it bear that your zip code is more of a social determinant than your genetic code, and speaking of codes, I really like that you introduced the Z codes as well because that introduces a level of accountability. When you document it, you then have to have a plan about it.” ~ Daytheon Sturges PA-C “We had two great talks from Cara McLellan and Frank McLellan, and I am going to start using that term: The power of the purse. Until you incentivize it, it does not become a priority. When people see a target then they see this is the journey we are taking.” Tonya Jagneaux, MD “My part of the session was about workforce diversity, particularly in orthopedic surgery, and what better specialty to talk about in terms of workforce diversity than the one that struggles the most with it.” ~ Holly Pilson, MD “When you fix policy at the system level then you are able to see more results. We need to look at policy with a JEDI lens, so Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, but I also add in anti-racism, to become anti-racist we have to center and discuss race. We are looking at our policies using an equity impact tool, and we are looking as possible harm as well as alternative approaches.” ~ Daytheon Sturges PA-C “One of the quotes I heard recently is “Nothing about us without us,” it takes bringing those stakeholders to the table, working alongside them and with them, to figure out how we get to more equity in this space.”  ~ Holly Pilson, MD “It's important that the minority people who are leading these efforts are doing it alongside and with the majority members of our departments and institutions, because it takes both together. “It's important to equip the champions and provide education. I have my lived experience as a gender and racial ethnic minority, but I'm not a (DEI) expert.” ~ Holly Pilson, MD “Medical students have consistently said that orthopedics as a specialty is less welcoming. I don't know if it's the surgical culture, some the other specialties mentioned as being less welcoming were also surgical.” ~ Holly Pilson, MD “I like to offer a DEI toolkit that the Physician Assistant Education Association (Diversity and Inclusion Advancement Commission) has developed.  It's 6 steps of a quality improvement loop.” ~ Daytheon Sturges PA-C “Target the leadership structure: what is the racial composition? What voices are there? Do you have buy-in? These are the people who are yielding and wielding power. We need to look at admissions and ask how can we kick the door open and look at our applicants holistically, because this is where the gatekeeping is. We will never have a diverse medical workforce if the schools are not admitting these students.” ~ Daytheon Sturges PA-C

Resources: Cancer Topics - Delivering Serious News" The Day I Started Lying to Ruth by Peter Bach, MD After a Cancer Diagnosis, Wishing for a Magic Number - The New York Times   TRANSCRIPT Pat Loehrer: Hi, I'm Pat Loehrer, Director of Global Oncology and Health Equity at Indiana University. I'm here with Dave Johnson, a Medical Oncologist at The University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, Texas. This is the second half of our Oncology, Etc. conversation with health policy and payment expert, pulmonary physician, epidemiologist, and writer, Peter Bach. In part one, we chatted with Dr. Bach about his upbringing, the trajectory of his career from English Literature to Medicine, and from academia to industry. We also explored his seminal work on drug pricing and improving health equity. Today, we're going to continue our conversation with Dr. Bach by asking about something deeply personal: his wife, Ruth, who sadly passed away from cancer at the age of 46. Probably about seven or eight years ago, you wrote a wonderful article in The New York Times, and there was another article you wrote, but the one that I liked reading was called, “The Day I Started Lying to Ruth”, and this is where cancer stabbed you very personally. Can you tell us a little bit about that, and tell us a little bit about your wife, Ruth? Peter Bach: So, it was in New York Magazine, just to give credit where it's due, I'm very grateful to them for running it. I wrote that after she died, and it followed on a series I had in The New York Times called, The Doctor's Wife, which I wrote while she was getting her initial treatment for breast cancer, and then I walked through the steps of adjuvant therapy that she received, in my experience. And then the piece in The New York Magazine talks about her last months basically, and my experiences then. The story goes that she was tragically taken from us and tragically taken from my son when he was very young, and my experience being at her side-- and I think I was a good husband, I was present -- was an alarmingly dissociative experience along every dimension. You know, I'd go to her appointment, I would swipe in with my badge. You know, this was my place, and the doctor who took care of her is and was a dear friend, and so were the other doctors in most cases. And the visits, you know, I had nurses and people in the hall would say "Hi" to me. And then I was going through this absolutely devastating experience, you know, tearing apart the sort of prevailing narrative and experience and structure of my life and our family. And so, for whatever reason, it was this out-of-body experience where I could see stuff very, very clearly. Not only clinical realities, like I knew what was happening, but also the mechanics of healthcare, the interactions, and I felt like I should journal it, if you will. And then when I journaled it, I thought I should publish it, and so I wrote about what it was like to stand there when my friend, Chip Cody, the surgeon said, "This is cancer, I can feel axillary lymph nodes, you've got cancer." And what that morning was like between the-- look, most people have a lump, what's the big deal? We'll go, we'll deal with it. She's young. She had just had a mammogram actually, to that. And then the experience of, you know, and I was in Biostat at MSK. So, I'd sat for a gazillion protocol reviews, I'd read a gazillion informed consent forms, and then there was one in front of her for a randomized trial for adjuvant therapy. I mean, it was Avastin versus placebo versus a longer period of Avastin, if I remember correctly, and ultimately a negative trial I saw at ASCO. But sitting there and actually thinking about like, "What is this like for somebody who doesn't know all of this stuff?" And my wife was way smarter than me, that you guys know me, that is the least surprising fact ever. But it was still dizzying for her. And so, I wrote about that, like, hawt was our conversation like that night after that whole, like, “Do you want to join this trial?" And her peppering me with questions, like, essentially, “What the hell is wrong with you guys? Why don't you know these answers?" And it was sort of like, "Okay, this is why we do randomized trials, this is why we have placebo. This is–” And she's smart, not irate. She was much more relaxed and philosophical through the whole thing up until the day she died, or a few days before, than I ever was. So, I wrote about that. Like, what was that conversation like? What was she being asked to do, and how important was it that she did it? And I remember sitting in the room when that trial was presented, and The Kaplan-Meier overall survival curves, and I was pretty sure I saw the step in that curve. I'm pretty sure I saw her on that graph. And it made me-- obviously, I'm desperately sad that she's gone - but it made me proud that she had contributed to it, even though, you know negative studies are important, too. So, I wrote about those things, and I wrote about prognosis and what it was like to have a conversation when she asked about prognosis, and in an article called ‘Waiting for a Magic Number', where I described her oncologist saying, "Fine, I'll tell you what are your chances of living five years, you tell me what's the cut point. Essentially, above or below, what number are you going to change things in your life? When you tell me that number, I'll tell you whether you're above it or below it." And it was like, "Wow, philosophy from an oncologist, fantastic." Really sunk in with both of us, and that was it. We never asked that question again, he never gave us a number. And I've been greatly rewarded over the years to run into people from here and there who say, "You know, I always hand my patients that article to put that in perspective." And then when she died, I wrote about the sheer horror of what was happening to me. And the title wasn't mine, but it was worked right on point. I found myself in a situation where I didn't want to reveal to her just how bad things were, and it was terribly weak of me. And ultimately, and I describe it in the article, got to a point where I just was ready for it to be over, before it was. And I think it's actually not that hard, to be honest, after you've gone through something like this like I don't really care what people think of me. I went through something really hard. And again, I'm someone with resources, I'm someone with knowledge, I could call her oncologist at two in the morning and he'd answer, that's not something normal people get. And you know, even for me, like this was completely disorienting. And so, that article was very rewarding to write because it allowed me to put it somewhere where I've gotten to revisit it. A couple of years ago, of course, he was young when I published it. He said he had read it; he liked the part about the dog. But I got a lot of notes afterwards from strangers saying that it provided them some comfort that even someone like me went through basically the same experience they went through. And look, this whole, like, "even something like me” seems odd, but I think to the external world, somehow, we're like, "You know, we get those white coats. Stuff is different for us," and of course, it isn't at all. Since that time, and we're all in the same world, so we have the same sets of friends. We probably have many of our overlapping friends who we know have lost spouses. In recent years, I routinely get phone calls from folks like, "I'm going through this, what's the first step?" You know, and it's about everything. "How do I deal with my kid? Should I go dating?" Stuff like that. Dave Johnson: You know, Peter, that article should be required reading for every Oncology fellow. I think it was beautifully written, clearly from the heart. I think your undergraduate degree shows in terms of your writing style, but to write that, I'm sure was emotionally challenging and difficult. In fact, Pat mentioned at the start of our podcast, Trillin's book, About Alice. In a book review that was written in The New York Times, About Alice, Trillin made a comment similar to the one you just made, where people that he didn't even know wrote letters in which they conveyed to him a sense of knowledge of Alice, even though he knew they had never met Alice. And I think your article about your wife conveyed that same sense to anyone who did not meet her. And I think you memorialized her in ways that are really fantastic. But I want to just read something from an article in The New York Times, and this is quoting Trillin. He says, "They may not have known her, but they knew how I felt about her." And he went on to say, "Yes, I got a lot of letters, like the one from a young woman in New York who wrote that she sometimes looked to her boyfriend and thought, "But will he love me like Calvin loves Alice?" I think the same could be written about your relationship with Ruth. And thank you for sharing that. I can't imagine how challenging that must be even all these years later, and I'm glad your son had the opportunity to read that. He should be proud of both his mother and his father. Pat Loehrer: It was a gift to all of us and mankind. You know, again, as I saw that article, there's a photo of you and Ruth on your last vacation. I think it was from Versailles, and I think you were in the Hall of Mirrors. And I think there's a poignant metaphor there about the reflection of your lives and being with her at that time, and we really thank you. We have all experienced this and it's so powerful there. There's this time when you get a result of a test of someone that you know and love and there's this limbo between, they're so naive and life is good, and it really is a time between heaven and hell in which you're the only one there, in which you know that you're going to go in the room now and change their lives forever by sharing this news. And we've been there and we pause, and again, you talked about that - I think being in a car looking at the x-ray. And that's the essence of when you said, the day you started lying to them, which is understandable because you just don't want to shatter that moment there. You know, we pause and reflect on that enormity of the moment there and I thank you deeply for sharing that with us because it's something that we physicians find, and this uniqueness of being a physician, and having someone you care about and knowing something that they don't quite know yet. Thank you for all of that. Peter Bach: The important message is that to patients, it's very isolating. And part of what I think the article did, and this was the message I got at least, was, send a message to other people that you're not alone. That others are going through it, others have gone through it, and I don't know what "it" is in that context, but loss. And there's that wonderful article in The New Yorker called ‘The Aquarium', which is by man who had a sick child-- and I don't remember all the details, but the aquarium metaphor is, I can't remember if he's in the aquarium and the rest of the world's outside or the other way around, but it's that isolation that is particularly frightening. And when I talk with my friends who've gone through it, it's part of it. As I just said, you know, there's a lot of us out there. I don't know if it gives so much reassurance. You know, 40,000 women die a year of breast cancer, so there's a lot of people out there. Dave Johnson: Pat, you had, I think, a final question? Pat Loehrer: Briefly. You know, now I'm asking to be an academic person there, but if you had a young medical student and you were going to try to give them one lesson about communicating bad news to patients, what would that be? Peter Bach: I've obviously been in this situation many times. I'm a Pulmonary Critical Care doc, so I've watched bad news be delivered many, many times. And the first mistake I see people make is trying to fill the silence with words, and I think I made earlier reference to it. One of the key skills doctors need to develop is the ability to listen. And sometimes listening to silence is a version of listening, but it's delivering what you have to say without euphemism, with directness. Not everyone's enamored with it, I am. But then giving time to listen, even just space for people to feel safe, that that communication is part of a relationship, not a sort of text message. You know, in today's metaphor, right, that just arrives and the person moves on. That is really hard for people to do; not experienced doctors, for trainees because it's frightening for a lot of reasons. Over my career, I've certainly rehearsed it many times with people. I made the mistake myself too, of just sort of talking over the thing in the room to avoid, you know, just sort of as you said, the enormity of what you just communicated. Dave Johnson: So, Peter, I think you're right on. I think that's one of the most difficult things to do, is to allow that pause to take place. And so many, even highly experienced physicians attempt to fill that void when it doesn't need to be filled. Been there, done that, been on the receiving end as well as the delivery end of that. It's always challenging. You know, we're out of time, and I'm sad about that because we could go on, I'm sure for quite a long time. Want to end this by asking you, Peter, we talked about a book on the front end, both Pat and I love to read, and we share recommendations all the time. I wonder, is there a book or a podcast, or anything that you think we should read or you think our listeners should know about? And by the way, you can include anything that you wrote if you'd like. Peter Bach: Yeah, it'd be very au courant to pitch my own stuff here, I would never do that. I like to read as well. And so, I just finished Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. Of course, there's a few health events in it, but it's not to do with anything, but, you know, it's a book about New York. I live in New York, so I just enjoyed every single word of it. I'm newly married- Dave Johnson: Congratulations. Peter Bach: -thank you. I feel very lucky. And my wife has noted that I often like to read nonfiction at night. Typically, books about how the world is just going completely to hell. And she's noted that outrage is my happy place, that I sleep extremely well if I read something that's absolutely infuriating. So, the other thing I'll recommend is the book about the Department of Justice has essentially lost its mojo when dealing with corporate crime. If your best soporific is being absolutely furious, it's right up there with a full dose of Ambien. So anyway, those are my two recs. Pat Loehrer: I love it. Yeah, Dave and I both love non-fiction. We love that. So, it's great. Dave Johnson: We've come to an end of another podcast, and we want to thank our listeners for tuning in. We really appreciate your participation.

You know, speaking of interesting nonfiction, Pat, if ‘pro' and ‘con' are opposite, what's the opposite of progress? Pat Loehrer: Oh, I love that - Congress. Dave Johnson: Yes, Congress. I knew you would get that. Peter Bach: That is a ‘Dad joke' if I ever heard one. Dave Johnson: We don't have good jokes on this show. Pat Loehrer: We're going to have to redo the ending to this because, Dave, you said this was an ASCO Education Podcast. I'm not sure we've taught anybody anything on this one.

Dr. Stephanie Maximous chats with Dr. Deb Banerjee and Dr. Nick Nassikas about their article,“Feasibility and Preliminary Efficacy of an Anti-racism Curriculum in an Academic, Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine Division."

In today's episode, we are joined by Harry Nima Zeggara, MD. Dr. Harry graduated from the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia Facultad De Medicina Alberto Hurtado in 2003. He specializes in Critical Care Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Critical Care, and Pulmonary Disease. Being a busy doctor it didn't stop him from investing and pursuing a career in real estate, Now Harry and his wife are involved in commercial and multifamily apartment complexes syndications and helping other physicians invest in real estate. Highlights:   [00:00 - 05:43] Opening Segment Harry Nima Zegarra is a Peruvian physician and real estate investor who helps other doctors invest passively in real estate. Harry started investing about five to six years ago when they moved to Dallas Fort Worth and started acquiring single-family homes long term rentals. They then transitioned into commercial real estate after finding it difficult to manage their single-family homes. Now they are involved in multifamily apartment complexes, and syndications.   [05:43 - 10:59] How to invest in real estate as a physician Harry joined a mentorship group here in Dallas, which gave him the confidence to be open and share his ideas with others. He adds that it's very important to have references when investing in real estate. He shares that it was easier for him as he was a physician, which gives a good network of people who can help him invest in real estate. Bringing on other physicians is important because they can help spread the word about real estate and help educate others about the benefits of investing.   [10:59 - 16:21] Harry's Story: Taking Action, Building a Portfolio and Positioning It for the Future Harry shares that he and his wife were looking for a house to live in when they moved to Richmond, Virginia for fellowship. After 3 years they sold the property and were happy that the value appreciated and moved to Texas. In south Texas, they bought a piece of land to build a home on but later changed their plans and sold the land With that experiences, it gave them the idea to do real estate.  They are now based in Dallas and own a large multi-family portfolio   [16:22 - 16:59] Closing Segment Reach out to Harry Links Below Final Words     Tweetable Quotes ”In some areas, there's a discrepancy between areas, where the people are moving in and out. We see this discrepancy and for now, we're assuming that it's going to continue to grow, but it is very important to do our underwriting, to not expect that explosive growth in the next couple of years. And that's the way that you should be doing a conservative underwriting.”- Harry Nima Zegarra   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with Harry Nima Zegarra by visiting their website www.nimaeuity.com You may also follow and watch their videos on youtube     Connect with me:   Facebook   LinkedIn   Like, subscribe, and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or whatever platform you listen on.

Check it out below:   [00:00:35] Sam Wilson: Harry Nima Zegarra is a Peruvian physician, entrepreneur, and real estate investor. He helps other doctors invest passively in real estate. Harry, welcome to the  [00:00:45] Harry Nima Zegarra: show.  [00:00:47] Harry Nima Zegarra: Hey Sam. , Thank you so much for having me today in  [00:00:49] Sam Wilson: your show. Pleasure's mine, Harry. There's three questions. I ask every guest who comes in the show in 90 seconds or less. [00:00:54] Sam Wilson: Can you tell me, where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get. .  [00:00:57] Harry Nima Zegarra: Yes, absolutely. We started about five to six years ago when we moved to Dallas Fort Worth. We have been here in the us, like for 10 years already, but we were moving every two, three years. So, we were very interested in real estate and, When we arrived to Dallas, , we decided to start investing initially in single family homes, , long term rentals. [00:01:16] Harry Nima Zegarra: And then after, a couple of years , three years or so, we were getting like already a couple of, , units under our belt and it was more and more difficult to manage. So we continue our education around that time. And, We decided to jump into, commercial real estate, which is where we are now. [00:01:31] Harry Nima Zegarra: So commercial real estate, mainly, apartment complex syndications where we, work together with other, sponsors experience and sponsors. And, we buy apartment complexes , with the help of our investors. And, , how did we get there with a lot of effort, a lot of time education. Networking. [00:01:50] Harry Nima Zegarra: And , and I always say at the end, , taking action, right? Be because all the prior ones like, are like, are important. If at the end you don't take action and you don't get anywhere  [00:01:58] Sam Wilson: at the end. Now you're a full time physician still though, right? Yes. That's correct. [00:02:03] Sam Wilson: That's correct how did you find that time to educate yourself and to then take that plunge into bigger assets? What was the. thing, when you said, Hey, I'm gonna set aside X so I can do Y tell us about that. .  [00:02:15] Harry Nima Zegarra: Yes. Yes. And, , I can tell you, I mean, it's not easy, but you just have to be intentional, right? [00:02:20] Harry Nima Zegarra: So you just have to find the time to do it. I'm a full-time physician. My wife is also a physician and she was working also full-time until just recently until November. you can imagine like both. With the full-time jobs and with two kids six and 10 years old and doing real estate at the same time, it was not easy task , but yeah, I mean, like I like, like again, we found something that we were very interested that we had a passion for it and we decided to  [00:02:46] Sam Wilson: go for it. [00:02:47] Sam Wilson: How many single family homes did you guys have before? You said, man, this just isn't working.  [00:02:51] Harry Nima Zegarra: So we have nine units in the Dallas Fort-Worth area. And which is where we live right now. So we started five years ago or so. And we started acquiring every couple of months until we reached the ninth  [00:03:02] Sam Wilson: property. [00:03:03] Sam Wilson: And what was the turning point when you said, man, I just, I can't do this. There's gotta be a better way.  [00:03:08] Harry Nima Zegarra: Yeah. Yeah. And don't get me wrong. I mean, we were doing good. I mean, I mean, actually, and that was the reason we were growing so fast and like the thing is that again, like the more single family homes or units, you have the more difficult it's to manage, even with that property manager. [00:03:22] Harry Nima Zegarra: And I was mentioned this and every single decision all the responsibilities and liabilities. Specifically on you, right? And we found ourselves like every single week, like talking with our property manager about like small and big problems that we could have in every single unit. [00:03:40] Sam Wilson: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. So talk to us about that transition then to multi-family. How did you get involved in your first deal and what would you suggest to somebody else maybe in your same position.  [00:03:51] Harry Nima Zegarra: Yes. Yes. so We found ourself already with nine units and it was difficult to manage. [00:03:56] Harry Nima Zegarra: It was taking out like already a lot of our time. And we found ourselves that we were not able to scale that quickly. And we always hear the stories about people who invest in single family homes that at some point in their fifties or sixties, they're already with 80 units or 100 units and they don't know what to do with them. [00:04:13] Harry Nima Zegarra: and then As need, like to unload them like very quickly or like a discount. So we decided to continue our education at that point. Like again was like about four, two years ago. and start going, to, to meetups, to conferences, to to listen to audio books. So I live like about half an hour from where I work in downtown Dallas. [00:04:30] Harry Nima Zegarra: So, so that helped me like to. To listen to podcast like yours to listen to Audi books. And again I just continued that education and it brought me to multi-family apartment complexes now,  [00:04:42] Sam Wilson: apartments syndications. I know you, you said this early on was that you have found great sponsors to work alongside. [00:04:49] Sam Wilson: If somebody wanted to go out today and they said, Hey, I wanna find a good sponsor in the multi-family syndication business. I mean, there's a lot to choose from. How did you select the people that you had ultimately ended up working right alongside.  [00:05:02] Harry Nima Zegarra: Yeah. And that's very important, right? Because multifamily is a team sport, am I always say I'm part of a team that, that is doing already this And the reason is because I'm a physician, I'm a full-time physician. So I wouldn't be able to do this by myself at all. Right. Because just trying to find apartments, trying to do the underwriting, trying to acquire them, trying to manage them is more than a full-time job. Right? And there's many people doing this already many people with a lot of experience that many people who are doing this for many. [00:05:33] Harry Nima Zegarra: So I would do be doing this service to my investor or the people who are trusting me in trying just to do this myself. So I was able to partner out with different sponsors. Like initially I actually joined like a mentorship group here in like in Dallas forward. And that gave me like, again That I became very comfortable in being like in a group, like with a abandon mindset, right. [00:05:56] Harry Nima Zegarra: So, and we know each other and we know each other for some time already. And we share like our underwriting and we share our notes and all of that. So it's very important. Always like to know who you're working with to ask for references to ask for, again, like prior projects, good and bad experiences. [00:06:14] Harry Nima Zegarra: Right. Because again we will know from people like when they tell you about the great experiences and great, like the return on investment, but it's more important, like to know when they have had a problem and how they managed it. That's,  [00:06:26] Sam Wilson: that's exactly right. It remind me of us saying my dad always told us. [00:06:29] Sam Wilson: He said, it's not, if you'll have problems, it's what you do when you have 'em. So, yes. Finding out that information I think is is really helpful with your sponsor. So you found a good sponsorship group and what was it that you were able to bring to the table? That they said, Hey, here's a way that you can plug in with this Harry. [00:06:45] Sam Wilson: We'd love to have you on board. What did you bring to that general partnership that made it valuable for everyone?  [00:06:53] Harry Nima Zegarra: Yes. And this happens to, I believe to everyone who starts in real estate or specifically multifamily we, we start in the space, very excited and we think we can do everything. We want to learn everything. [00:07:04] Harry Nima Zegarra: right. And and at some point we need to be honest with ourselves, right? And we need to find. The best thing that suits us and the and the field that we are stronger at. Right. So, I'm a physician. I have a good network of of people who have seen me in real estate already for a couple of years, have family, friends colleagues people in like the medical field. [00:07:24] Harry Nima Zegarra: So, they, they were looking at me when I was doing already single family homes and long-term rentals. So when I told them like that I was switching into multi-family, they were on. And they were there to support us and the.  [00:07:36] Sam Wilson: Got it. That's that's really cool. Let's transition this conversation maybe a little bit, and we'll talk about what it's like to bring on other physicians. [00:07:44] Sam Wilson: I know you said here that there in your bio that you spend it sounds like quite a bit of time helping other physicians passively invest in real estate. What have you built either? Either? I guess, tell us your process for how you bring a physician on maybe that doesn't know anything about real estate and you educate them such that they then feel comfortable investing in real estate with you. [00:08:02] Harry Nima Zegarra: Yes. And we start from the fact that again, like you invest in what you're familiar with, right? Like in what you feel comfortable with. So most of us in the US, like in even in professions we're only familiar with stocks with the mutual funds with stock market. Right. [00:08:18] Harry Nima Zegarra: And that's the way we invest, but we don't know that there are other. Alternative ways to invest and maybe even safer, and maybe even where you have more ways like to take advantage of that. So what what is important is again many physicians like us, they. [00:08:32] Harry Nima Zegarra: They work very hard. They go through a long process of training, but at the end of their careers, they don't have enough financial education again and we try to help them and to bridge that gap, like in terms of just showing to them that the others ways to invest, right? [00:08:46] Harry Nima Zegarra: And again they don't necessarily need to invest like in syndications but again they may be like interested in being more active, again, like in single family houses, we're doing something different. It's just again, like to have the options for them. Right,  [00:08:58] Sam Wilson: right. And so how do you, I guess, how do you approach that conversation with your colleagues? [00:09:02] Sam Wilson: Is it something where they just come to you and say, Hey Harry, I hear you're investing in real estate. I'd love to learn more.  [00:09:06] Harry Nima Zegarra: Yes. Yes. They, so again, like we're working towards our financial independence and that's how we approach this conversation with many of our partners, right? [00:09:15] Harry Nima Zegarra: So you would think again, as physicians, high earners we have a very comfortable life and we get good income. However, we get taxed very high. So, so, so that's one of the problems that we all have. Right. And also we're kind of trapped like again, We depend on one stream of income. [00:09:32] Harry Nima Zegarra: Right. Which is our work. If something happens to us, we would be in, in serious trouble. So, so that's why I sometimes with we talk or discuss about these things about what would happen if something would have happened to me for example during the pandemic, right? So I would be in serious travel because I don't have any other source of income. [00:09:50] Harry Nima Zegarra: So that's, when you start thinking about that you need to start investing somewhere else other than the stock.  [00:09:56] Sam Wilson: Right. Yeah. Assets that produce an income is is something we talk about quite a bit. And I think it's even becoming more relevant, today we're working exactly on what June 14th. [00:10:06] Sam Wilson: And we've just watched here recently, the blood bath and the stock market and, oh, you know what, yes I want to buy things that, that no matter what the stock market is doing, it continues to produce an income. And I think that's. That's a really key point that I hadn't really thought about, and when it comes, for those of us who are in the business, yeah. [00:10:24] Sam Wilson: I've got multiple sources of income, but as a physician or as a high income earner, there's. There's a single new one single source, right? Yeah. Getting that diverse diverse income stream is is certainly a need that it sounds like you're solving that's really cool. I love that. [00:10:37] Sam Wilson: Tell us your story. A little bit of coming to from Peru then coming to the, becoming a doctor in the United States and then investing in real estate. Was it what was that journey like?  [00:10:47] Harry Nima Zegarra: That was, that was very interesting. so, so we came here to the states, my, my wife and I about 15 years ago. [00:10:54] Harry Nima Zegarra: So we, we both are from Peru. We both did our medic, our medical school over there. Wow. So we were actually friends for seven to eight years. Until we decided to come here to the us, we started dating and then we got married. And so we came here we did our training again, like we were in different states because of the nature of our training. [00:11:12] Harry Nima Zegarra: We were in Pennsylvania. We were in Virginia for the followship. And then we end up like in south Texas, initially in a private practice set up like for a couple of years. And after that we decided to came to to, to Dallas and finally to settle here. So we were always in interested in real estate. [00:11:29] Harry Nima Zegarra: And actually one of our first encounters with real estate was like when I was, when we were moving to, to Richmond, Virginia for my fellowship. So we, it was around 2011 and we needed like to find a place to leave. Right. And we didn't want to rent initially. So we decided to buy like a small townhouse. [00:11:46] Harry Nima Zegarra: It like, it was a short sale actually. So , and we didn't know anything about short sales in that moment. So we thought it was like actually a short process, but actually it was a long process and like a very long process. There's nothing short about a short sale. Yes. Exactly. So, and at the end of the three years, we decided to sell that property and we were very nicely, so surprised that it had appreciated. [00:12:07] Harry Nima Zegarra: Very good. And then like in, in south Texas, we we, at some point we were planning like to stay in that area. So we decided to buy a piece of land to make, to maybe to build a home there. But at the end, we changed our plants and we came to Dallas and we, when we were selling that piece of land, it also had appreciated like a good amount [00:12:25] Harry Nima Zegarra: So we were really primed, like to get started in real estate when we decided to come and settle here in  [00:12:29] Sam Wilson: Dallas. And I think that's the thing that you said early on is that for you, one of your keys has been just taking action. It's finding a way it's finding the time. It's, it is no excuses approach to getting it done. [00:12:43] Sam Wilson: Like you set your sites and then you go and do it. So I think that's a really compelling story, for a lot of people they think they feel overwhelmed, it's gosh, where do I start? How do I start? They see all the obstacles as opposed to the opportunity. And I always love the story of where people come to the United States. [00:12:58] Sam Wilson: They work hard, they figure out how to get it done. And I think that's it's always a good reminder that it's still possible even today. So that's awesome. Absolutely. Thanks for, thank you for sharing that one last question here for you before we sign off, what are some risks that you may see in multifamily or in real estate in general right now? [00:13:18] Sam Wilson: And then what are you doing to maybe position your portfolio in such a way that you maybe don't take the shock that some other people maybe some risk other people may be taking on. So you see any risks right now in the commercial real estate space?  [00:13:30] Harry Nima Zegarra: Yes. Yes. I mean, we have seen just lately, like the hike, the rates for everything, right? [00:13:35] Harry Nima Zegarra: Like for residential, but also for commercial real estate. I mean, actually it has hit more in the residential space. It's very funny that again, which means that people see more risk in the residential than in co. Commercial is more again like resistant, right? So, I mean, we see that these rates may continue to continue going higher. [00:13:54] Harry Nima Zegarra: Right? So like the thing that we need to make sure is to do a very conservative underwriting. Like again, and what means a conservative underwriting is to do what we call a stress test and putting ourself in the worst case scenario, right? Like in terms of the rates in terms of occupancy, in terms of the cup rates that until now in the last five or 10 years, they have been great. [00:14:15] Harry Nima Zegarra: And they have helped so most of us like to get great returns for our investors, but again, like we need to be more more. More into this, like analyzing all these deals now, like again that you need to look for your investors in this sense.  [00:14:29] Sam Wilson: Right, right. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Do you think here's a subjective question. [00:14:35] Sam Wilson: Do you think rent rates will continue to climb? Have they reached a peak? Where are we when it comes to, and again, obviously this is very location specific, so. This is a general question, but we've seen just enormous rental growth rate in the multi-family market. Where's it going?  [00:14:53] Harry Nima Zegarra: Yes. It's very difficult to see in this moment. [00:14:55] Harry Nima Zegarra: And the thing is that again, like they have been raising with inflation too, right? And also with the salaries too, it like, in some areas there's discrepancy like, like between like where the areas, where the people is moving in and and where the people are moving out. [00:15:09] Harry Nima Zegarra: like again, we see this discrepancy and for now we're assuming that it's cont it's gonna to continue to grow, but it is very important to doing our underwriting, to not expect that explosive grow like in the next couple of years. And that's the way that you should be doing a conservative underwriting, right? [00:15:26] Sam Wilson: Yeah. I think that's key, over time, I think no matter what we will. Rents continue to climb, but I think, potentially it sounds like you, you're saying we should be underwriting little to no rent growth just to be conservative.  [00:15:37] Harry Nima Zegarra: Yes. Or like in the three to 4% at most. [00:15:40] Sam Wilson: Right, right. Very cool.

When it comes to the most well-known organs that the general public can name, the lungs would definitely be one of the first in line. As seen in a percentage of the population at a young age, almost everyone can recognize asthma, bronchitis, and pneumonia. As the population ages, more complex lung pathologies become a common talk, like COPD and emphysema, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, and pleural effusion. But upon the arrival of the year 2020, a new respiratory predicament became a universal knowledge: the novel coronavirus. With its initial spell of fear as manifested by nonproductive cough, shortness of breath, congestion, and the eventual stories of intubation and ventilators, the world of pulmonary medicine has been forever changed. It is of my utmost pleasure to present this episode's guest, a firsthand witness of this colossal transitory passage into the world of the lungs: pulmonary critical care physician Dr. Neena Chandrasekaran.Receiving her bachelor's degree from Nova Southeastern University in 2012, attaining her medical degree from the American University of Antigua College of Medicine in 2016, completing her Internal Medicine residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in 2019, and freshly finishing her fellowship in Pulmonary/Critical Care in Wayne State University this 2022, Dr. Neena C. now carries 14 years of education and training under her belt to share her expertise in the field of pulmonology.How does COVID-19 actually affect our lungs? Do the lung X-rays of those infected with the virus and are unvaccinated differ from those who are vaccinated? Do steroid treatments and monoclonal antibodies like Regeneron's REGEN-COV actually help COVID-infected patients? How do new viral variants exacerbate complications of infections, such as acute respiratory failure (ARF) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)? How do different oxygen devices (nasal cannula versus non-rebreather mask versus BPAP) provide therapy to desaturating patients? I hope your breath gets taken away

Stephen Rennard MD, is the Larson Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He received his medical degree from the Baylor College of Medicine. He completed Internal Medicine training at the Washington University in St Louis followed by training in pulmonary diseases at the National Institutes of Health where he conducted research in the cell biology of lung disease for the next seven years. He joined the University of Nebraska Medical Center in 1984 as Chief of Pulmonary & Critical Care, a position he retained until 1997. He maintains an active program of clinical investigation in COPD and smoking cessation and a program of basic research in the mechanisms of lung tissue repair and remodeling, including the role of stem cells in disease pathogenesis and repair. He is a recipient of UNMC's Inaugural Scientist Laureate Award, the highest recognition given to a UNMC scientist.   “You're gonna make it” said a lab tech who Dr. Rennard regarded as an early mentor. “You're here on a Sunday morning. You're gonna make it.” That's when it struck: it's not sleepless nights of studying, having textbooks for breakfast, or being an ultra-smart genius that shapes a student into an excellent physician; it is commitment. It is the commitment to the cause you believe in and having the willingness to walk the extra mile that will make you successful. Join us as we listen to Dr. Rennard's journey at the bench, bedside and in industry, highlighting commitment as the most important criterion for success.   Pearls of Wisdom:   1. The job of being a good student is to make good teachers. Also, focus on commitment to the task and openness to improving your understanding as you go. 2. Commitment is the willingness to work hard and put ourselves in situations through which we can get the exposure we need to achieve our goals. 3. Practice your ability to reach out to whoever you need to, and ask for help. Don't be afraid to ask because it's flattering to whoever you're asking! It's nice for them to answer questions they know the answers to.

We talk with Interventional Radiologist Dr. Carin Gonsalves about how her practice built a multidisciplinary Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Response team, including where to start, developing efficient workflows, and obtaining the equipment you need for success. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Inari Medical https://www.inarimedical.com/ --- SHOW NOTES In this episode, hosts Dr. Michael Barraza and Dr. Aaron Fritts interview Dr. Carin Gonsalves, interventional radiologist, about building a pulmonary embolism response team (PERT) and the evolution of pulmonary embolism (PE) treatment including large bore suction thrombectomy devices and the importance of multidisciplinary effort in care of patients with PEs. Dr. Gonsalves discusses how she came to be Division Director of the PERT program at Jefferson University, and her collaborations with Geno Merli, cofounder of the PERT Consortium. Her interest in advancing PE treatment stemmed from her years of performing pulmonary arteriography and catheter directed thrombolysis before the inception of suction thrombectomy devices. She discusses the difficulty she had in obtaining these new devices, and how after 11 months of discussions, the hospital agreed to purchase the necessary equipment to enable the PE response team. She discusses how the PERT is activated when a patient presents with suspected PE. Her team is comprised of five subspecialties including IR, Pulmonary Critical Care, Vascular Surgery, Cardiothoracic Surgery, and Cardiology. She emphasizes how having a group of experts improves patient care by cutting down on critical decision time. She enjoys sharing the responsibility of evaluating treatment approaches based on the current literature and the diversity of experience in the group. Finally, we discuss advances in technology for treatment of PE. Dr. Gonsalves enjoys the ease of use and wide range of clots she can treat including acute, subacute and chronic. These devices have been game changers for PE; many patients are poor surgical candidates and have contraindications to thrombolysis. They end by discussing novel uses of these devices that Dr. Gonsalves performs including removal of clot in transit (mobile clot in the IVC, SVC, RA or RV) and vegetations on the tricuspid valve or a pacemaker lead. --- RESOURCES The PERT Consortium: https://pertconsortium.org Inari PEERLESS RCT: https://www.inarimedical.com/peerless/ Inari FlowTriever: https://www.inarimedical.com/flowtriever/ Inari ClotTriever: https://www.inarimedical.com/clottriever-int/ Inari FlowSaver: https://www.inarimedical.com/flowsaver/ AngioVac: https://www.angiovac.com

Part of being a great physician is uncovering—and achieving—our true mission and purpose. Dr. Paul Noble shares his own mission: to make an impact on the world. He explains that the satisfaction he gets from medicine has always been less about him, and more about the patient. That medicine is a mission larger than himself. And when we start living this ideal, we'll find a joy and satisfaction  that is “almost impossible to describe.” Dr. Noble also teaches us that when we discover what our true mission is, others will join us to propel us forward. As physicians, we have the power to make a positive impact on the world. And this impact is only intensified when we work as a team. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. The key to making an impact is not pursuing success for self. It's about building a team, it is about the people around you. 2. Instead of asking someone to do something for you, ask them to be a part of making a difference to change the world. When we place our priority on the patient, we are will be joined and supported by great physicians and leaders to help us achieve that goal. 3. Always look for the truth. It may not be the answer you wanted—but it's what matters most.
