Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Daryl MosleyGrammy nominated songwriter Rick Lang says, "If you want to know Daryl Mosley, just listen to his music. There is a unique transparency in that soft, Southern drawl and his impressive collection of songs.” Daryl writes and sings about small town life, faith in God, family, and the best parts of how life once was and still could be. For over three decades, the combination of these exquisitely crafted songs along with his understated delivery and warm, gentle personality has been engaging music lovers in a way that few artists can.

As marketers and brands, we often hyper-focus on customer acquisition so much that we lose sight of the importance of customer retention. Retaining current customers is less expensive, requires less time and investment, and creates higher margins and profitability.Understanding the data, life event changes, signals, and insights that highlight retention opportunities is key to swinging the pendulum toward retention improvement. Studies show that even as little as a 1-5% improvement in retention can boost bottom-line margins significantly.Our guest speaker, Rick Lang, former Chief Marketing and Sales Officer of Comcast and current Head of Global Cable Sales at Afiniti, an AI company, focuses retention on “the little hinges that swing a big door.”  In this podcast, Rick will share his lessons learned on the 4 advantages and methods of focusing on customer retention – and it all begins with analytics, data, and insights.

Al Hackner always concentrated on the game. His deep focus, cool demeanor and absence of emotional display led to his nickname "the Iceman". Al's partnership with third Rick Lang in 1979 led to four trips to the Brier final in the next 6 years. They won their first in 1982 with Bob Nicol and Bruce Kennedy at front end and later recruited Ian Tetley and Pat Perroud to capture their second Canadian and World championship in 1985. Al reflects on his famous double takeout against Pat Ryan at the '85 Brier in Moncton and shares many stories from his long career. The episode concludes with a recording of Arnold Asham performing "The Hack Came Back".

This week, we have a special podcast: the interviewers become the guests! Join Digital Strategies Editor Amit Khera as he interviews Carolyn Lam, Greg Hundley, and Managing Editor David "Augie" Rivera as they provide a behind-the-scenes look at how Circulation on the Run comes to you each and every week. Come meet your favorite podcast hosts! Dr. Amit Khera: Hi, this is Amit Khera. I'm digital strategies editor for Circulation, and boy, do I have a treat today? I get to step in for Carolyn Lam and Greg Hundley, but wait, I actually get to interview Carolyn Lam and Greg Hundley today. So we have a very special Circulation on the run. Well, the interviewer becomes the interviewee. These two you get to hear every week and hear this amazing back and forth and deep insight into Science and Circulation. But, who are these folks behind the Circulation on the Run podcast? And boy, what interesting life stories they have and how they work through this. And wait, we also have a third joining us today, and that is Augie Rivera, who is the managing editor of Circulation. So we get to see the mastermind behind how all this runs. Well, Carolyn, Greg, Augie, welcome you three. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Thanks, Amit. Feels weird. Dr. Amit Khera: Good. Then mission accomplished this week. Well, first let me start with you, Carolyn. I know you and I started this long ago, with help from so many folks. People hear you every week and I'm sure many people know you quite well. I will say you have one of the most interesting backgrounds, incredible scientific and personal accomplishments, professional accomplishments. So we're very fortunate to have you as leading this podcast in the beginning, but a lot of people may not know your background story about sort of your training and your day job, because you do have a day job outside of podcasting. So tell us a little bit about yourself, about how you got here in life. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Oh my gosh. Amit, I'm humbled by your question. My goodness. I feel just very lucky to be part of the Circulation editors. And I humbly did my med school in Singapore, and did cardiology here, and traveled and lived overseas for the first time. Guess where, in Rochester, Minnesota. Tropical Singapore island to refrigerator state. Other than that, it was absolutely the most pivotal moment of my life. Met my first female mentor and Dr. Margaret Redfield. Really, really just came into my own and got involved in population-based research. And then hopped on over to Boston where actually I was working at the Framingham Heart Study. So continuing sort of the epidemiologic work, but then I think another mentor I really have to call out too is Dr. Scott Solomon, who kind of took me under his wing a little bit and showed me a little bit of the world of clinical trials. And boy, all I can say is I haven't looked back. And so here I am. Dr. Amit Khera: I think you took a detour in the Netherlands too. Am I right to say that? Dr. Carolyn Lam: Oh yes, but that was quite a late detour in life. I was really, really fortunate meet Dr. Adrian Voris who supervised my own PhD. That was a really interesting thing because I come from a family of a pediatrician in my mom, and a scientist, a biologist really, specialized in fish, in my father. And I'm saying this because my father told me never ever follow his footsteps and do a PhD. Make sure I follow my mom's footsteps and be a clinician, and go into private practice. Dr. Amit Khera: Well, it looks like you followed both of their footsteps, maybe the best of both, so they're very proud of you for that. We recently had the privilege of having you give us grand rounds and get to hear your impressive work in clinical trials. And I have to say, the work you're doing in half half and really with some great clinical trial and cohort data involving Asian populations was quite inspiring and impressive. How did you sort of get things going? You've traveled around and moved back and how did you start getting your career going and the momentum you've had so far, incredible success? Dr. Carolyn Lam: Oh goodness. Thanks for letting me share. Amit, honestly, I don't know. And I can only look back and be on my knees and be grateful for being at the right place at the right time. I think it's a combination of taking what I had learned in Olmsted County and Framingham. Coming back to Singapore and realizing that there was a need for similar epidemiologic studies. I firmly believe if I didn't do it, someone else would. I'm not that brilliant. I just get things done. And so that's what I did. I started that. And one thing led to another. It's having really friends as well. And so I really, really want to say big thanks to my mentors who have become my friends and colleagues. And to people listening. This is really, really from the heart. You don't plan these things. You just go the next step that you see, and you go with all your heart. And you make sure that you've got your eyes open to see the next opportunity, and have the energy to seize that one when it comes by as well. I think that's how it all happened. Dr. Amit Khera: Well, that is a good pivot because one of the next opportunities that came up in Circulation on the Run after you'd done it for a while, was to bring in this gentleman, Greg Hundley. And so we're so glad that you two partnered. Now, Greg, you and I have a little bit of a shared background. You were at UT Southwestern for a period of time, where I am currently. Well, tell us your story, Greg. Tell us a little bit about your background and training and where you are currently. Dr. Greg Hundley: Sure. Thanks so much, Amit. Again, I think like Carolyn, we really feel this is an incredible opportunity. The journal is a wonderful blend of collecting impactful science, both clinically and pre-clinically. And trying to bring that to the forefront. It's just been a fantastic opportunity to participate on the editorial side, but then after that, share with the rest of the world, the findings that we really develop each week. And it is truly a team effort. All the way from identifying impactful science, discussing it, preparing it, and then sharing it. And so I think like Carolyn, I just feel very privileged to have this opportunity. Now, my path, listening to Carolyn, and for listeners, you kind of move with it a little bit, and follow along seeking, I don't know, new opportunities, but also being very humble. And as they approach you, and doing kind of the best that you can in the situation. Dr. Greg Hundley: So my career path started at what was Medical College of Virginia, but is now VCU in Richmond, Virginia, and medical school there. And then, at Southwestern, did my internship, residency, and cardiology fellowship. And I would say, probably my first strong mentors was really a mentor team. There was expertise there. Jim Willerson had brought Ron P Shock and Craig Malloy on the magnetic resonance imaging side. So for those that are listening, I'm more of an imager in cardiovascular medicine. But also a key fundamental pivotal figure or figures were David Hillis, and Rick Lang in the cath lab. And at the time, magnetic resonance imaging, we were trying to figure out, well, could this noninvasive methodology help us understand problems related to cardiovascular disease that came along maybe before, or we needed to go to an interventional situation, or how they would relate to an interventional situation. Dr. Greg Hundley: And then was briefly a faculty member at Southwestern, and then recruited back to the East Coast to Wake Forest. Another really pivotal figure for me was Dr. Bill Little at Wake Forest. Now, he's passed away, but bill had again, that great insight and excellence in science, and performing research and investigations, but also clinical expertise and emphasize the world... We haven't talked a lot about this, but education. How we take the information that we gather and educate others. Began working with the American Heart Association, with the American College of Cardiology in that realm. Then after 22 or three years, another opportunity came up actually to return back to VCU, and be the director of the heart center. And so now have that position here in Richmond, Virginia. Again, very excited to be working here with Circulation on the Run. Dr. Amit Khera: Well, I hear some amazing themes from both of you about mentoring and people along the way. It's a great story obviously for our younger listeners that are thinking about life and careers and opportunity sort of finding where life takes you. I think those are great themes for both of you. Now, we won't have as much time for this story, but Greg, you and I spoke recently. You told me this most amazing story of how you were going to be an interventional cardiologist, walked over to drop off something. A patient had an MRI machine and saw this MRI and fell in love. Dr. Amit Khera: I'll paraphrase about staying up all night, drinking soda and coding zeros and ones since that's the technology back then, but what an amazing story. We'll have to do that for our next podcast. All right. I'm going to bring in Augie Rivera. Now, he is the managing editor of Circulation. Meaning he really keeps everything going, and is the engine and brains behind the operation. And one of the many things he does, is the podcast. And we'll talk more about the logistics of that. But Augie, people never get to hear your voice. So tell us a little bit about how you got into this medical publishing and circulation in the pacific, sort of your background. David “Augie” Rivera: Well, thanks, Amit. Also thanks to Carolyn and Greg for inviting me as well to participate. This is going to be shocking and maybe scary, but I only have a couple of years of scientific journal publishing experience, and that's with the Circulation family. My background for my entire career has been in educational school publishing, specifically in mathematics. And mainly grade K to 12 mathematics. So making the jump over to scientific publishing seemed a bit daunting, but after like 20 plus years, I was looking to do something else. And I was grateful that I saw something on LinkedIn. I interviewed for the position and I was very fortunate the American Heart Association that ended up hiring me. In a sense I always say, "Taking a chance on the long shot." And so that's what brought me here. So a lot of this has been very, very new to me, but at the same time, all the Circulation editors have been so helpful, as well as my staff that I work with. They've been so beneficial to me in learning the side effects. So, that's a little bit about me. Dr. Amit Khera: We're very glad that the DHA found you, Augie, and you've been obviously this incredible resource for us. I'm glad you brought up the staff because there's so many people on Circulation that make it run and we're very grateful for all their efforts, including those who help us put on this podcast. Well, I want to dig into the podcast. Carolyn, we haven't told the story in a long, long time. I think you told it on the very first podcast, but Circulation on the Run. For those that missed in earlier days, remind us how you came up with that name. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Okay, very quickly. I'm a runner, and I know a lot of us are. It's just on one of my runs that I realized, "My goodness, wouldn't it be great to be able to just feed my mind at the time?" I was on a treadmill actually, and I was trying to read, and it occurred to me, "It is impossible. I'm getting a serious headache to try to read while you're trying to run." And so I thought, "Wow, wouldn't it be great if somebody just read that to me, so I could just read the journal while I was running?" Yeah, you can join the dots. So that was exactly the idea. That, "No, I'll do that for someone. I'll give them the nuts and bolts of that issue." Dr. Carolyn Lam: At least the main papers. The way it's grown since then, it's frankly thanks to Greg. I need to make a plug here. Greg has admitted that he's humble. And in fact, that's why I need to drag this out of him. I did not realize until I interviewed him on one of the podcasts, that he is totally gifted at interviewing. And then he tells me just, by the way, in the usual Greg way, he has a history and thick experience in this. He had done the interviews like... Greg, you have to tell me, but he had done several of these. He had a show, he had ideas. He used to do it. And I was like, "Why are you hiding all this? You got to come do this with me." But he hides it. So Greg, now you have to fess up. Dr. Greg Hundley: Oh gosh. And now Carolyn, she's too kind. So Carolyn, listeners as you can tell, just has a very warm, inviting personality. And she so couples that with just brilliance and interest in science. I mean, I can't take credit for the things, but she's also open to listening. And I think one of the really exciting things, this sort of team of three with Augie and Carolyn, we have great discussions behind the scenes on how we can bring the information in the journal to you as listeners, in a way that is inviting, engaging, and educational. It's really being part of a team, that has that common goal in mind and in thought. Carolyn and Augie, I just treasure the opportunities that we get to work together every several weeks and putting together the most exciting science that our journal really brings forth. So it's a team effort for the listeners. And just to maybe anticipate the next question, how do we do that? Dr. Greg Hundley: We do get the joy of reading the journal every week, and we spend some time each of us, on our weekends and late at nights reading thoroughly the journal. And Carolyn and I kind of divide up the articles. Both of us taking and becoming enthralled with areas of expertise that we may have. Again, we've talked about Carolyn in heart failure expertise and maybe me a little bit more on the imaging side and cardio oncology and the like. And then in any way we divide up the articles, we read them thoroughly, and then we produce a script. So one of the fun parts of this is working with Augie. We're producers as well as editors, as well as the spokespersons. Dr. Greg Hundley: So it's kind of all done in one shop and put together, and interactive, if you will. And then we are able to record that in sessions with Augie, coordinating them, and involving some of our authors, editorial experts. And then other experts that we gather from around the world that are also involved in the science. And the goal is to create discussions in addition to presenting the information that's in the journal, but to create meaningful, thoughtful discussions regarding this impactful science, so that we can actually take it in as practitioners or other researchers and scientists in the field quickly. And that's sort of the general concept. Dr. Amit Khera: You jumped right in there, Greg. And that's exactly what we want to dive into, which is sort of the behind the scenes, the mechanics about the why. Now, you two have an incredible chemistry. I will say since you two have been doing this together, it's really been a joy listening to you two. Carolyn, just maybe the dovetail on what Greg just talked about, about sort of the chemistry. That back and forth that you two do, the preparation behind that. Tell us a little bit about how that works out. Dr. Greg Hundley: Oh, absolutely. I've been dying to share. You should hear the bloopers. It's hilarious. So after a while, we just totally like... We have the fun doing this. And we realize it's very serious science that we're talking about. We're so solidly proud of circulation, but it's okay to have fun. It's okay by the way, to mispronounce some of these basic science words and to call Joe Hill, which I've done by the way, literally called him to ask him how to pronounce certain things. And you know what? And have fun at the same time. And so Greg starts these quizzes. Now, that is all Greg, okay. This Carolyn quizzes and... So after a while, we started to try to hide little quizzes inside our script with the answers given just in case. But it sometimes catches us unaware, and it's just really hilarious. Dr. Greg Hundley: And once or twice, I think Greg and I have tried to quiz Augie as well. But Augie never allows us to do that. So it's really great when we're having fun. And that is exactly what I'm so grateful for Greg to showing me that. He's the one who had the experience with the back and forth and gave us the idea. He's the one who push to say, "Look beyond the original articles, I really like as a listener, to have an overview of every single article." That was Greg. He's the one who initiated the sort of forum type discussions and double bill discussions, because he got feedback and acted on it, that people really, really enjoy listening to the authors too. And finally, we're really trying to make it even more useful for the audience based on feedback by seeing if we can get CME accreditation, seeing if we can be more responsive. I just want to let people know, even if we don't manage to achieve it, that we're listening, and we're trying, and we're constantly trying to improve. And that's what I really, really thank both Greg and Augie for. Dr. Amit Khera: Thanks for that. Listen, I want to just pick up on many things that you just said. First, I think what people may not appreciate is how much work goes into this. You read all of the articles and prepare with the featured articles. You create a script, and you have fun doing it, which is the most important thing. You record and have to coordinate. Takes a lot of time. I've seen this too, then people don't realize afterwards, you listen to the entire thing and edited again. This is impressive. And it shows, because it's a fantastic product. I want to talk a little bit about some of the deeper features. So you two obviously summarized in the beginning, the original research and we talked a little bit about the back and forth. I want to talk about the featured articles and the interviews of these different folks. Tell me a little bit about that and how that goes. What do you enjoy about the interview part of that. Greg, you want to start? Dr. Greg Hundley: Well, I thoroughly enjoy what we call the feature discussions, where we bring together the authors of the paper, editorial experts that... With Circulation, there's a team of associate editors that process the papers. And actually, when you as a listener submit an article, we review these in a discussion format. And one of the associate editors is leading that through a discussion group. And so we bring in that expert. And then oftentimes, we have an editorialist, or an expert from the world, and bringing together a discussion and focusing on the content, not only in that article, but how that article pertains to the world's literature, and then where we really want to go next with research. Dr. Greg Hundley: And I think that's sort of our objective, is to bring a living discussion for us as listeners, with authors, the active researchers, with the editorial team and the experts. Why of all the papers you get did this impactful science really come to the forefront for you? And then from the editorialists, how do we take this information and put it in the context of the world's research that's going on in cardiovascular medicine? So those are sort of the main insights and as listeners, just as Carolyn said, we really enjoy receiving feedback from you, and how we can perfect that further. One of the things we've started thinking about is, if we have a basic paper and a clinical paper on the same topic, is really having even a broader discussion, a forum discussion, where we talk about several papers at one time and really embrace a topic. And I love what Carolyn said about providing not only continuing medical education credits, but for those in the United States or maybe North America in particular, maintenance of certification credit, and something we're actively looking at, trying to work through right now. Dr. Amit Khera: Thank you for that. And Carolyn, do an add to the features and the interviewing these folks and some of the... what it is that's most interesting to you in doing that process and what you've learned. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Yeah. I certainly want to add, but probably in an angle you would not expect. And here, I really, really want to point out the tremendous work of coordinating this, that Augie takes care of. It is incredible. When we have an editor in Europe, a author in California, a me in Singapore, himself in another part of the US. I do not know how Augie does it. And not only does he do it super well, it's always with a smile. Augie, you truly are amazing. Your positivity has honestly kept me going many times, when I just came on the recording half dead. Kudos to you, truly. Dr. Amit Khera: Thank you, Carolyn, because I wanted to bring in Augie back again now. Augie, it must be amazing for you. I mean, first, the logistics. Maybe you can tell us about coordinating people from all over the world, different time zones, every single week and obviously people that are quite busy and show what a hard thing to do. And then maybe seeing the process. Boy, from seeing these papers come through our meeting, to the selection, to coordinating, to seeing the final product at the end, it must be a pretty satisfying process for you. Tell us a little bit about the mechanics and what this is from your vantage point. David “Augie” Rivera: Well, indeed, it is very interesting. It's something that I did a little bit of production back in college when I did college radio, way back in the day, but I never do. I would end up doing this again, but I think as far as the logistics are concerned, I'm not by myself in this at all. I mean, a big shout out to Sarah O'Brien who trained me when I took on this job because she was covering Circulation on the Run while there was a search for a managing editor. So she was the one who taught me all the tricks of the trade, on how to make some of this happen. But also it's the two assistants for Carolyn and Greg, Afshaan and Angela, who I contact and I go, "Please let me know what their availability is, when, and what can we fit here? And what can we fit there? And can we try to move a meeting?" David “Augie” Rivera: In fact, I get to tell Greg that we were successful in moving a meeting for tomorrow, and we have another one scheduled. So we made it work. So really Afshaan and Angela really help out with those logistics as well. We also have to thank you Ishara and her team over at Learner's Digest. They're the masters who put together all of our raw audio files, and cut them all together, to make the final product of the podcast. And not only does her team do that flawlessly, but it also coordinates with having those reviewed and approved by the editors as well. So there is no way that we would ever be able to get any of our podcasts out and delivered without their awesome help and support. So a big shout out to Ishara and team. And most importantly, and the viewers can't see this, but also to the authors and associate editors, editorialists. Augie Rivera: First of all, we're grateful that they've sent and submitted their articles to circulation for peer review, and then eventual publication, but their flexibility, because I know that they are very busy during their time too, and trying to make things work. I have had an author say, "Oh yeah, 12:30 in the morning, past midnight? Oh totally. I can totally do that. No problem." Or an associate editor who says, "Yeah, I can probably do that for 5:00 AM in the morning." So the flexibility of the authors, the editorialists and the associate editors is also what makes the logistics and everything work out. So it's not me, but it's completely a team effort. And it's also thanks to Carolyn and Greg for finding those pockets of time while they're doing their day job, to also take the time to be prepped and interview our authors and editorialists. So on that end, like I said, it's not me, it's a team of all of us that put this together. Dr. Amit Khera: Well, I appreciate everyone's humility, including yours, Augie. And you are right, there's a broader team and I appreciate you calling them out, but we certainly acknowledge you're at the center of that, and appreciate all your work to make this come to fruition. Well, we're winding down. I have maybe one last question for you two, Carolyn and Greg. Tell us about the future of Circulation on the Run. Where do we go from here? What's the future of this specifically? Or maybe podcasting and Circulation in general. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Well, what I can say is, it is continuously going to improve. You've heard us commit to that. We will and promise to try to make it as short and snappy as we can. So for those of you listening, who kind of don't get to the end, please hang in there with us. We're continuously getting better. Dr. Greg Hundley: Yeah. I would just want to echo that. If listeners have suggestions and there's a pathway to gather that information from you, we are all ears. We're listeners, and we would love to shape and mold this further based on your suggestions, because really, your suggestions have shaped a lot of where we are today. Dr. Carolyn Lam: And Amit, if I could, because the podcast is only one cog in the whole wheel of what you do as overall strategy for us, digital strategy. Could I ask you to give us that last word? I have to be the interviewer again. Dr. Amit Khera: You can't get it out of your system. This one is not about me. I'll give two seconds on my role specifically, but I have a neat role. We purposefully chose the term, digital strategies, because we appreciate there's so many different things behind getting medical literature out there, including website, working with traditional media, social media, podcast, and whatever else comes in the future. Dr. Amit Khera: So I'm very lucky because I get to work with you all plus a ton of other folks to really bring this material to life. And the coolest part is, you all are so easy to work with and so creative, and have done so many amazing things with this podcast. And it's been real privilege just to watch this grow and develop. What I love that you both said, and I hope the listeners heard this, that have hung on with this, you're appreciated for feedback and you always have been. Have made tweaks along the way to make this better and better. And so if anybody has any, feel free to email any one of us, and we welcome that feedback to make this even better. Listen, I want to say what a treat this has been to interview the interviewers. Amazing, and certainly did not disappoint learning about your backgrounds and a little bit more about all of you, and about what makes Circulation on the Run come to life. Dr. Amit Khera: So that's it. There's another rap. I'm Amit Khera, stepping in and interviewing Carolyn Lam and Greg Hundley, who will join you again next week. Thank you.

Rick Lang had an awkward start with success.  His first purple heart was won as third for Bill Tetley, but he had spared for Tom Todd and the uncertainty of who would go to the Brier hung over that evening's banquet.  Rick did make the trip and their rink would win the 1975 Brier in Fredericton but fall short at the World Championships a few weeks later.  The next season Rick was back on the open market.  Eventually he teamed with Al Hackner and they found immediate success, reaching the 1980 Brier final before losing to Rick Folk. After a heartbreaking loss to Kerry Burtnyk the next season, Rick and Al, along with second Bob Nichol and lead Bruce Kennedy, finally won the Brier in 1982.  In 1985, with the new front end of Ian Tetley and Pat Perroud, Rick and Al once again reached the Brier final and faced Pat Ryan from Alberta.  Rick talks about the most famous shot in Brier history and shares stories from throughout their playing days.  We cover the Olympic Trials of 1987, the transition to coaching and Rick  explains how to react on an airplane when someone thinks you're a rock star.
