[00:00:09] Diane Bouis: The inventions and technologies are fascinating and so are the people who work with them. [00:00:15] Frank Jaskulke: There was a period of time where I realized, fundamentally, my job was to go hang out with really smart people that are saving lives and then do work that would help them save more lives. [00:00:28] Diane Bouis: I got into the business to save lives and it is incredibly motivating to work with people who are in that same business, saving or improving lives. [00:00:38] Duane Mancini: What better industry than where I get to wake up every day and just save people's lives. [00:00:42] Lindsey Dinneen: These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary work, and this is The Leading Difference. [00:00:50] Hello, and welcome back to another episode of The Leading Difference podcast. I'm your host Lindsey, and I am so excited to introduce you to my guest today, Annmarie Ison. Annmarie serves as the Vice President and Head of Service at Elekta. With over 25 years of experience as a software development professional, Annmarie specializes in product development and software architecture for information management systems and radiation therapy delivery devices, specializing in software, inter connectivity, machine functionality, and clinical workflow. She is highly effective and directing all aspects of the software development life cycle. And is passionate about new technology, customer relations, and products that have the potential to enhance the standard of care in oncology. [00:01:37] Welcome to the show, and thank you so much for being here. [00:01:41] Annmarie Ison: Oh, thanks for having me, Lindsey. I'm really excited to be here and chat with you and see where this goes. [00:01:49] Lindsey Dinneen: Absolutely. Well, I would love, if you wouldn't mind starting by telling us just a little bit about yourself and maybe your current role. [00:01:58] Annmarie Ison: So my current role is Head of Service for the software products at Elekta. And these products support radiation therapy and medical oncology and for clinics to deliver therapy, both chemo and radiation therapy, in a more efficient, safe, and effective manner. I actually for many years was in engineering and this role in service is fairly new to me. It's only been about a year that I've been in this role. I sometimes wonder how I got here, but I think it really comes from the fact that I love interacting with customers. [00:02:42] I started with the company as a startup, and there were only about 20, 25 people when I joined. And so you did a little bit of everything. And one of the things that got me really excited was working with our customers, talking to them, finding out what they need, why they need it, what they're doing. And also occasionally having those uncomfortable conversations on why things aren't working and how we can make 'em better and how we can fix stuff. And so I think over the years I've done different, as I said, different roles. [00:03:22] I did some product management and went back to engineering again, and then recently took on this challenge of service because, yeah, I just love interacting with the customer for good and for bad, and I really want to help them be better, help us be better by helping them be better and do their jobs in a easier way so that they can focus more time on the patients and less time on the stuff that they have to do. The computer systems are everywhere. We all have to use 'em, right? We have email and we have everything. And I don't want our software products to be burdensome to them. I want them to be easy and streamlined and make their life easier, and again, so that they can make the patient's lives easier. [00:04:19] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. Oh, thank you so much for sharing a little bit about yeah, your story and how you ended up in this new role. This sounds like a wonderful blend because you have this, I can already tell, this heart for other people making a difference. And then you have that combined with your love of people and your enjoyment with working with them and that's not always easy. So I love the fact that you're able to combine some of those passions. And I'm curious, how did you start getting involved with the company at the beginning, when it was first a startup? How did that all come out? [00:04:58] Annmarie Ison: That was really just by happenstance. I'm gonna go back even further and say, as a child, as a kid, nine, 10 years old, I loved science. I was always into science. I had experiments. I had a chemistry set in my bedroom. But I always just assumed that I would be a doctor. And I, it wasn't, this is gonna sound really weird. It wasn't that I wanted to be a doctor. I just assumed that's what one did. If you were good in science, you became a doctor. That's, that was the only path, and I really never gave my career choice-- it wasn't a choice, actually. It was the only path. [00:05:40] I never really gave it much thought until I got to college and of course I was pre-med and I started meeting my new classmates and talking with them about what, why they wanted to be a doctor, why they were drawn to the practice of medicine. And I realized really quickly that I wasn't, that wasn't me. That isn't what I wanted to do. I didn't have that-- I didn't aspire to practice medicine. And so I kind of pivoted and I went away from that completely and I studied physics. And I focused on physics. And to me, I picked physics because to me it's foundational. And plus, physicists have the best toys. We get to play with all sorts of cool things. [00:06:26] But to me it was foundational and it really helps you understand a lot of other disciplines, and at the same time I was into mathematics and other staff and-- this was many years ago, for those younger folks listening-- computer science as a degree, as we know it today, didn't actually exist back then, or at least not at a lot of universities, and certainly not the small liberal arts college that I went to. And the, but the courses around computer science were taught outta both the physics and mathematics departments, and so I was really fortunate to have these great professors who were, I consider on the forefront, at least to me, they were on the forefront of figuring out how to use computers, and I'll really say PCs, as a tool to connect the physical world and the digital world, and use it to do the things that computers are really good at and let humans do what humans are good at. [00:07:35] And, you could focus on the physical situation and the data collection and data analysis was all done by the tools that we take advantage of or take for granted today. Excel and things like that didn't exist back then. It's a long time ago. So anyway, it, kind of pivoted away from that, from healthcare and being a doctor altogether and focused on physics, went to graduate school. And when I left graduate school, I really wanted to do exciting things like pay rent and eat. [00:08:09] So I found myself in aerospace and it was really interesting. I, I also found myself in Silicon Valley. I met my husband who grew up there, so that's where we wound up, and in aerospace I had, like I said, it was a cool job. I liked it. I was working on satellites. I, GPS was kind of a new thing then. It was really just coming into its own. And I even got to work bit on the space shuttle, so I, I was very excited. I was happy to stay in that role, but unfortunately the job moved out of the Bay Area and I had found myself going what do I wanna do with my life now? [00:08:58] But there were so many exciting things happening in Silicon Valley at the time that I I mean, it looked, it felt like there was a startup on every corner or really in every garage, right? And I just really, by happenstance, found this startup. And during my discussions with 'em, I met the principals and they shared their vision with me and it just resonated. They were working to change the face and the trajectory of radiation oncology, and when they explained their vision, I saw it, and I also saw a path to get to that vision. [00:09:48] Even more so, I felt like I saw how I could bring everything that I had done up to this point-- my physics background because there's a lot of physics in radiation oncology, my safety background for man's space flight, and my desire to do good and help people from when I was a little girl thinking about being a doctor-- I was able to bring all of that together into this one job. And I'm gonna say I was hooked and I haven't looked back. I've been doing, I've been with the company aiming for that vision really for the last 29 years. And I'm still striving for that vision because it really was a visionary that we're not quite there yet. There were paradigm shifts along the way, and we hit those and helped change how things are done and really form a market, but we're still striving. We're still striving to do better. [00:10:48] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you for sharing about that background. I love how, I just love when a pathway isn't, isn't as straight as we necessarily think it's gonna be. It's kind of funny how, you said looking back, it was almost like this expectation of, I'll be a doctor. And then you were able to, yeah, to take your interest in science, but your interest in lots of other things as well, and then form this career path that's probably looked unexpected, but seems to have wound you up in a place that you feel at home? [00:11:23] Annmarie Ison: Yeah totally. I do feel at home and sometimes I wanna go back to that nine, 10 year old self and go, "see, see, there isn't one path, there are options." There are so many different people and disciplines and viewpoints and technologies that are all needed to change healthcare, to advance the standard of care and the standard of practice. And you can make that difference by bringing your own set of skills, your own viewpoints, your own passion, and by just being you. And I hope that people hear that and realize that there isn't one path. [00:12:06] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes. . Thank you. I am completely in agreement with you, but I also just appreciate that, that you shared that particular advice because I think you're absolutely right. There are always multiple avenues to a dream and what might work for one person might be a different path for someone else. Well, so are there any moments that stand out in particular as just having this moment of realization that you are where you're supposed to be, like you're in this field, you're at this company, you're doing this particular work. Just any, anything that stands out in particular as, "Yes I am, I am in the right place at the right time." [00:12:51] Annmarie Ison: Oh goodness. I mean there, it's been a long career. So there are so many things that I'm proud of, but there's a moment that sticks in my head from many years ago. Maybe about two or three years after I joined the company, there was a new forum, a new technique in radiation therapy that was trying to become --I'm gonna just call it mainstream or standard clinical practice-- but there was a challenge there that the amount of data that was involved in preparing the patients for the treatment was huge. Hundreds, thousands of pieces of data that the medical physics team had to check and recheck and do measurements on. And it took a lot of effort and we were working with some of our customers to tried to streamline that process and provide them the confidence. Some of these checks, again, people can do those checks, but computers can do those checks really fast. And so we were working with a number of customers and there was one night, and like I said, it sticks in my head. I was in a, can I say I was in a bar in Saddlebrook, New Jersey of all places? [00:14:06] Lindsey Dinneen: Of course. [00:14:07] Annmarie Ison: You're up in New Jersey, so maybe that's why it sticks out. But where I was talking with a colleague, a customer, and we were gonna give a seminar the next day, and he had just, he was putting his slides together and going over them with me, and he had told us that he was able to get this effort that took him like 30 to 40 hours down to about an hour, and we were like, "Wow, that's awesome. That's fantastic." And we were really excited about that. But it was the thing that he said next that really stuck with me. And there's two points on it. The first is he said, "And now we don't have to choose. If the clinical indication requires this kind of treatment, we can offer it." [00:14:54] And that just hit me and I was like, "Wow, we moved the needle. Right? We really moved the needle." And I just, I was really excited about that statement, but it also hit me in a slightly different way. It reminded me that in all the rush to, in the day-to-day responsibilities of getting these features to the market, and who has to sign what paper, and what form has to be done, and what project plan has to be completed, and all those things that I actually didn't think about the patient. I'd forgotten about the patient. [00:15:35] And really since that day-- I actually felt bad about myself when he said it. I was frustrated and angry at myself for not thinking, not keeping that patient and that set of patients in mind-- that really since then, every day I think about the millions of patients that are impacted by the products that we work on. And I also think about each individual patient. When I'm never sure about, "Is this the right thing we should do? Are we working on the right thing? Is it good enough?" I think about the patient, the individual who could be anyone. It could be your brother, your sister, your spouse, your next door neighbor, child as well as I think about that vast set of patients that can be impacted. [00:16:24] And it helps recenter me and refocus me to make sure that I know I'm doing the right thing. And it's just stuck with me all those years. I'm a little bit of a broken record at work when I say, "Two and a half million patients, two and a half million patients," , or I say, "What about the patient? What about the patient?" But, I think in the end, it serves us well to do that, to always keep that in mind. [00:16:52] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes, absolutely. And, thank you so much for sharing that story. That's powerful. And so I know that women's health and advocacy for femtech, whatnot, that's something that you are interested in and passionate about. And I was wondering if you could share just a little bit about maybe your experience. [00:17:13] [00:17:14] Annmarie Ison: Yeah, so I think that access to care is really the key thing. And, whether it's women's health-- which I think is a huge issue of getting access to care-- but it can be anyone really. As I mentioned in the previous discussion about bringing these advanced techniques to the clinical setting, there are areas of the world that, that don't have the resources. And the resources could be basics like electricity and access to power and things like that. But also, the resources of skills. Right? [00:17:56] As I mentioned, medical physics is a big part of radiation therapy and if you don't have really skilled medical physicists around, it can be difficult to use these really advanced techniques that can, provide better care, fewer side effects, shorter treatment times. Again, when if you're looking at someone who has to travel a long way to get to care, you don't want them to have to come back every day for 25 or so days. If you can shorten that down into a week or so, which we can with some of these really advanced techniques. [00:18:35] But again, you need those resources, you need those expertise, and I think that's where I. The digital world comes into play again. And if anything, the pandemic taught us that we can do so much remotely. I can be, and we have this already today, can have medical physicists from some of the leading clinics in the world, here in the United States as well as in Europe, looking at and supporting countries that don't have that same baseline of resources and technical expertise. [00:19:10] And I think, women's health comes into play there a lot in that there are many indications in that are managed by radiation therapy. So I think, again, being able to offer these advanced techniques, shorter timelines, hopefully higher cure rates, or at least control rates, to these emerging markets, and expand access to care is really important to me. And I feel that's the direction that we have to go with in the, in healthcare in general. Access to care is the key. [00:19:47] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah. Thank you for speaking to that and elaborating a little bit on, on that, and I, I, I appreciate the fact that that you and your company in particular are aware of those issues and are thinking through them and talking about them and, that's how change is gonna happen. So, it's always exciting to see that. [00:20:08] Annmarie Ison: Yes. [00:20:09] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. So, pivoting the conversation, just for fun. Imagine someone were to offer you a million dollars to teach a masterclass on anything you want. It could be within your industry, but it doesn't have to be. What would you choose to teach about and why? [00:20:30] Annmarie Ison: Oh my goodness. I think fundamentally I have a hard time with this question because I don't consider myself a master of anything. I always consider myself an intermediate, because as I learn, I realize how much more I don't understand about them. But for the million dollars, and I'll take it, I think it would have to be something around cooking. I love to cook, but I wouldn't want to talk about technique, mastering a specific chopping technique or sauteing technique or whatever. But I think I'd call it "collaborative cooking." I have so many friends who are intimidated by cooking and, "Oh, I don't know how to cook. I don't have a recipe." But I just can't think of anything more fun than to work as a team, bring everyone's different perspectives and skillsets and passions, if you wanna use that word, together, to bring a nice meal on the table and if things go wrong, well, that's part of the experience. [00:21:38] I also think that if you don't cook and you can still be a part of the team. My, my family does this, my family and friends, we do this all the time. Someone, we have three or four people in the kitchen, all cooking together. Someone made the menu, someone else has picked the wine, someone setting the table. Hopefully someone's pouring the wine too, but we all come together and it makes everything less, like I said, intimidating. You don't, you shouldn't be intimidated by cooking. It's fun and there's nothing better than enjoying a nice meal prepared by all of us together. [00:22:16] And that's my feeling about a team also is when you have a team working with food, like I said, dinner, it's no one's thing. It's everybody's thing. We all came together to make it so it's no longer, "I cooked this." It's, " We cooked this, we did this, and we made this wonderful evening or afternoon or whenever it is." You're enjoying it. So that would be my theme of the masterclass, if I could. [00:22:50] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. Oh, I love that. [00:22:52] Annmarie Ison: Yeah, just, cooking with my nieces and nephews is always fun, and everyone coming together to enjoy and celebrate. [00:23:01] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes. . Yes, that is very exciting. And hopefully, like you said, the, the teamwork component of it will be joyful as all the families get together . [00:23:11] Annmarie Ison: It can also be, I call it, "passionate." It can be . It can also be passionate at times, like... [00:23:19] Lindsey Dinneen: I love it. [00:23:20] Annmarie Ison: ...someone can feel strongly about the temperature that cookie should be cooked at. I don't know. [00:23:25] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, that's right. And we're all working together towards a common goal, so gotta figure it out. . Amazing. Amazing. How do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:23:38] Annmarie Ison: This question, I'm gonna have a hard time with answering without getting very emotional. My husband passed away a few years ago, and he was in medical devices as well. We actually have a very similar background, he was a physicist, went into medical devices and we actually talked about this when we knew the end was nearing. And his answer was, "I want to be remembered that I helped." And I can't think of a better answer. I would love to be remembered that way, that I helped in some way, in all sorts of ways, that I helped my family and friends in times when they needed help, whatever that was, might be cooking something for them. But also that I helped forward this vision that the founders of the company had that I helped clinicians help their patients, and that I had some small impact on the standard of care and the direction of oncology. Yeah, that's the way I would like to be remembered, that there was some help. I can't think of anything better than that. [00:24:51] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. That's beautiful. That's a wonderful thing to aspire to. Thank you for sharing those stories, really appreciate it. And last but not least, what is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:25:07] Annmarie Ison: Oh man. I feel like I should say something honorable like my family and friends and things like that, but they would all know that I was lying if I said that. They know the answer. The answer is pandas. [00:25:25] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes. [00:25:27] Annmarie Ison: I love pandas. As a little girl, I had a stuffed panda instead of a teddy bear, and I became a bit obsessed, and I consider myself now a recovering panda- holic. I had a rough week when the pandas left The National Zoo. It was very emotional for me, but I still lean towards pandas. I can't help but smile and laugh when I see them, and if you were to look under my desk on my early morning teams calls, chances are that I'm wearing my big fuzzy panda slippers while I'm taking those morning meetings. [00:26:09] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh. [00:26:09] Annmarie Ison: You dunno that, but I've got my big fuzzy panda slippers on most days. [00:26:15] Lindsey Dinneen: I love it! Thank you so much for sharing that. That just makes me smile. I love pandas, oh my word, and I just, every time I see those videos of those care takers trying wrangle the babies, oh my goodness. I love it. [00:26:34] Annmarie Ison: I, I, if I wasn't doing what I was doing and helping people this way, I, that's my dream job. [00:26:40] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. I have often said my retirement gig is gonna be a animal caretaking in some way. Oh my word. Well, this has been such a pleasure to speak with you today, Annmarie. I really appreciate you sharing a little bit about yourself and your background, how you came into this industry, and just your heart and passion for people, and making a difference. I really commend you and I just I thank you. Thank you for everything that you're doing to change lives for a better world. [00:27:10] Annmarie Ison: Oh, thank you. Thank you for having me. And I've actually listened to a number of your podcasts, so I feel honored to be a part of the group that you've talked to. And thanks. Thanks for inviting me here. I really enjoyed it. [00:27:24] Lindsey Dinneen: Thank you so much and thank you so much also to all of our listeners, and if you're feeling as inspired as I am right now, I would love it if you would share this episode with a colleague or two and we'll catch you next time.

The book of Saddlebrook did what it was suppose to do. Bring people together! It started out as a low budget interesting Romance Novel to go down in history and gain more readers over time. The projected 10-15 people it would bring this book from start to finish from creation, editing to final printed publishing is what would complete getting the book out there to the public. However, thankful to social media over 100 people have now gotten involved in helping get this book out there for everyone to read. Bringing together a worldwide multi-cultural diverse community surrounded by animal, country and farm lovers all over. Hopes to this book will bring an awareness to dedication, commitment and to maintain our farmer's rights. Below are links to articles published regarding supporting information on this Saddlebrook publication. It looks as if this will be the first book into a new series.

“Does my child need to homeschool to make it to division 1 collegiate tennis?” - Junior Tennis Parent It's a question parents ask themselves all the time. They hear the stories of players coming out of IMG, Saddlebrook and other academies. They hear the stories of former successful players practicing 4-5 hours of tennis a day, doing fitness, and think that might be the only way. I'm here to say…….it's not the only way. But the things home school programs offer must be done some how and this is where a lot of after school programs fail. They fail because after school drills occur during the busiest times of play. This limits the types of practices they can offer. Homeschooling programs occur during the quietist times of the day. They can use as many courts as they want to spread kids out. This allows coaches to run the best practices possible. They can do match play, full court singles drills, proper feeding drills, utilize the gym for fitness, etc. For after school drills to offer the same quality practices, they'd have to severely limit the number of kids taking part in drills, or limit member or public play so the kids can have more courts to spread out. Both options hurt their revenue, and would leave a lot of people unhappy. The good news is, if a parent can implement the following 7 things in their child's development, they'll have a better chance of making it to division 1 college tennis, without homeschooling.

Get a FREE home value reportWant to buy a Bergen Home? Search all homes for saleHey there, everyone. Today we are here with John Trito, a longtime resident of Saddlebrook and a longtime client and friend of ours. We have known each other for quite some time and have become close throughout the year. John has always been a great source of referrals for us, so today we just want to talk to him about why he recommends us for real estate. So, what aspects in John's life does the subject of real estate come up?Well, John has been a resident here for 42 years, and a police officer for over 20. He has encountered many people throughout his day-to-day. He encounters people of all ages and from all walks of life that respect him and his opinion on certain things. Real estate, just like the stock market and politics, is always a topic of conversation. We are very fortunate that John has recommended us many times over the years.  In the world we live in today, you've got to be able to trust people. In real estate, you want to trust the people who choose to put the client first. That is what we do, and in the end, that's what we are most concerned with. John says he has heard nothing but praise about our team since he started referring us 5-7 years ago. When we get a referral, we want to make sure whoever recommended us comes out shining. Buying a home is one of the biggest transactions you will encounter in your life, don't make the mistake of hiring just anyone. You can't trust a decision of this magnitude to a friend in the business or any old agent. The average home in our area sells for $500,000. Do you really trust your neighbor or cousin with that kind of responsibility?We appreciate everything John has done for us over the years and are happy we have been able to help him out as well. If you have any questions for us, feel free to give us a call or send us a quick email. We look forward to speaking with you!
