As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, but when it comes to the challenges facing the American safety net, the path forward can feel overwhelming. The problems are vast and complex, and it's often hard to know where to begin—so sometimes, we don't. In this episode, host Rebecca McInroy speaks with four individuals who have dedicated their lives to improving the lives of others: Erine Gray (Founder and CEO, Findhelp), Julian Paraschiv (Co-founder and CEO, AIDA Healthcare), Amber Lombardi (Founder and CEO, Mainely Teeth), and Adrien Lewis (Founder and CEO, CarePortal). Their stories show us that meaningful change starts by identifying one problem, one gap, one issue—and committing to it with clarity and purpose. We gain valuable insights into what it takes not only to take that first step but to sustain real, lasting impact. We explore the importance of building relationships with others tackling similar challenges,  the power of embracing new technology to expand your impact, and why strong leadership and business skills are essential. Most importantly, we're reminded to keep people and problems at the center, instead of focusing on the bottom line.  

Were the 1990s really the “girl power” era of women's empowerment we remember?If you were “coming of age” or raising young girls 30 years ago, you probably remember the tumult of scantily clad celebs and brand-backed messaging ostensibly celebrating women's empowerment. Sophie Gilbert, an author and The Atlantic staff writer, dives into just how empowering this period really was in her new book, Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves, which drops today.On today's episode, Sophie leads us through her lightbulb moments and research for the book, exploring the social messaging that planted some pretty problematic ideas in the minds of young and teenage girls and people of all genders. This is an important history to examine, as is the question of how we avoid the same missteps in the future.Start talking about the real past and critical future of feminism, including: How we were fooled into believing sexual power was the only kind we could possess;Why the goal of commercial feminism changed so drastically from the early to the late 90s;How we can start to claim the power we deserve (even when it feels like we don't have the time).Related Links:Order your copy of “Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves” - https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/738003/girl-on-girl-by-sophie-gilbert/Learn more about Sophie's work - https://www.theatlantic.com/author/sophie-gilbert/Follow Sophie on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sophiegilbertwrites/“Becoming the Third Wave” by Rebecca Walker - http://www.tonahangen.com/wsc/hi215/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/RW3rdWave-2.pdf“The End of Men” by Hanna Rosin - https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-end-of-men-and-the-rise-of-women-hanna-rosin/15539438“Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women” by Susan Faludi - https://bookshop.org/p/books/backlash-the-undeclared-war-against-american-women-susan-faludi/8728966“The Power” by Naomi Alderman -  https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-power-naomi-alderman/114254“Holding It Together: How Women Became America's Safety Net” by Jessica Calarco - https://bookshop.org/p/books/holding-it-together-how-women-became-america-s-social-safety-net-jessica-calarco/20583065TAKE ACTION with Bossed Up - https://www.bossedup.org/takeactionBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/

If your client's next paycheck was their last for the next four years — what would they do? In this episode, we dig into why Disability Insurance (DI) is a critical (yet often overlooked) part of a sound financial plan. Kenny Russell and Michael Prothe discuss how to position DI as income protection, break down common client misconceptions, and offer practical tips for starting the conversation. With over 90% of DI claims tied to illness, not accidents, this is a must-listen for financial professionals looking to close a major gap in financial planning.Guests: Kenny Russell, Director of Disability Sales, CrumpMichael Prothe, Regional Director, IDI Sales, The Standard

Send us a textIn this special 99th episode of Disrupting Obesity, I'm taking a step back from our usual format to share a behind-the-scenes look at what really comes up inside the Flamingo Forum. From breakthrough coaching moments to key mindset shifts, we're diving deep into the real-world tools that help transform your relationship with food. This episode explores the difference between healthy and helpful, why calorie counting isn't the enemy, and how small, sustainable changes like understanding food "vehicles" and using safety nets instead of rigid rules, can create a lasting, realistic approach to weight loss without the overwhelm of restriction. Listen in to hear more on:• Why safety nets work better than rules when it comes to food habits.• The science of the “20-minute rule” and how it helped me let go of guilt.• How we've been taught to fear hunger, and why that messaging is broken.• The truth about emotional hunger and how to manage it.• How to mentally bounce back from a binge day with data, not shame.• The difference between “good” vs. “helpful” foods, and why moralizing food needs to stop.• Vehicle hacking: the art of saving hundreds of calories without sacrificing what you love.• Why slow, manageable changes can help you finally keep the weight off.Food isn't the enemy. Neither are you. If you've ever felt stuck between diet culture and emotional eating, this episode is your reminder that there is a way to build trust with your body again, and that starts by shifting the tools you use. As always: keep trying, keep tracking, don't be intimidated and don't give up. You've totally got this!Episode Mentioned:089 A Look InsideLooking for help on your weight loss journey?

Matt Galloway asks Minister of Jobs and Families Steven MacKinnon what his government is doing to support the Canadian workers threatened by U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs.

The patchwork nature of America's public safety net has evolved over centuries, shaped by political winds and changing views on poverty. Understanding this complicated history may help shed light on the core tensions that continue to define debates about who deserves assistance and how it should be provided. In a paper in the Journal of Economic Perspectives, author Christopher Howard explored how programs targeted at people with low incomes expanded from meager, local support in colonial times to the large-scale programs of today. He draws a distinction between two parallel systems: means-tested programs targeted specifically at low-income Americans and inclusive social insurance programs available to citizens across income levels.  Howard recently spoke with Tyler Smith about the surprising political durability of some targeted programs, the dramatic success of Social Security in reducing elderly poverty, and the ongoing gaps in the public safety net that leave many Americans vulnerable.

Women excel in school—higher GPAs, more degrees, more advanced education—yet the moment they enter the workforce, the advantage disappears. And when it comes time for promotions, the numbers tell a stark truth: for every 100 men promoted to manager, only 81 women make the jump. This gap compounds over time, keeping women from reaching senior leadership long before they ever get a shot at the top. This is what our guest today, Kweilin Ellingrud, calls The Broken Rung—the single biggest obstacle preventing women from advancing in their careers. As a McKinsey senior partner, researcher, and co-author of The Broken Rung: When the Career Ladder Breaks for Women—and How They Can Succeed in Spite of It, Kweilin has spent years studying this issue and developing actionable strategies to help women navigate and overcome these barriers—regardless of whether their companies are ready to fix the system. No one's saying you have to climb the corporate ladder. If you want to build your own, take a completely different route, or burn the whole damn thing down—I support you. But if you do want to climb, the bare minimum should be that your ladder is as solid, as high-reaching, and as accessible as anyone else's. So climb. We'll be holding the ladder for you.

Well, here we are—the final episode of Informatics in the Round (we think!). After five incredible years, 38 episodes, and thousands of listeners, we've decided it's time to wrap up this journey. But first, we're taking a minute (or maybe two hours) to reflect on this wild ride—and we've brought some people you might recognize! In this episode, we pull some clips from the archive to help us look back at our best moments, favorite topics, and silliest slip-ups over the years. We take you through our “Top 5” topics that we loved to talk about the most: electronic health records, patient privacy, public health, health equity, and AI. We will also share some stories you didn't hear (like that time we forgot to hit records—oops), how the pandemic reshaped our personal and professional lives, and the lessons that will stick with us. To lead us through our Top 5, we invited back some of our favorite guests to reflect and discuss the future of the field:  Dr. Yaa Kumah-Crystal, MD, MPH, MS, is an Associate Professor of Biomedical Informatics and Pediatric Endocrinology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center whose research focuses on documentation in healthcare communication. Dr. Ellen Wright Clayton, JD, MD, is a professor of Pediatrics, Law, and Health Policy at Vanderbilt University Law School and Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Her research focuses on the ethical, legal, and social implications of genomics research. Dr. Melissa McPheeters, PhD, MPH, is the Senior Director for Analytics at RTI International, as well as an esteemed epidemiologist and public health informatician. Her work focuses on building interdisciplinary teams to address complex problems across health, public health, and data modernization processes. Dr. Consuelo H. Wilkins, MD, is the Senior Vice President and Senior Associate Dean of Health Equity at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the Associate Director of the Vanderbilt Institute for Clinical and Translational Research. Her work attempts to bring together community stakeholders and create collaboration initiatives to improve community health and biomedical research. Dr. Chris Callison-Burch, PhD, MS, is a Professor of Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on natural language processing and generative AI. So, is this really goodbye? Maybe, maybe not. We can never sit still for long. But for now, let's raise a glass, share a few laughs, and remember the good ol' times! We can't leave without saying thank you to all of you for being part of the ride, for listening to us on your jog or your commute, and for engaging critically with all we've had to say. It's been an honor. Thank you to all the guests who have joined us throughout the last five years. Thank you for contributing your expertise, your lived experiences, and your unfiltered thoughts. Thank you to the musicians who bravely stepped into conversations about topics they knew little about and for offering up their questions. You ensured we spoke to everyone, and your music said the rest of what our words couldn't convey. To all our guests, your generosity with your time and your knowledge is what made this podcast what it was. Our mission was always to make informatics intelligible so that you and all your friends and family can engage confidently with the topic. We hope you now have the language to feel empowered navigating this crazy, awesome, flawed, fascinating healthcare system.  For now, this is Kevin Johnson, Harris Bland, and Ellie Shuert signing off!

Going after your dreams takes faith and a whole lot of courage. Fear is going to creep in all the cracks, when it is not breaking down the front door. Because we have this great big amazing goal, and we are terrified that we are going to fall flat in the mud. Then what?! Worse than failing we might just have to accecpt help from those around us. And that dent in our pride might actually kill us. ----more---- Yes, this is dramatic. But asking for help is something most of us are terrible at. we run from even the possibility of needing help. And sometimes we fight the offered backup plan or safety net so much we lose track of our actual goals. ----more---- This week we talk about being brave enough to accept the safety net so we can get on with our dreams.  As always follow more of the journey to brave on Instagram @yesyouarebrave

She highlights the strain on both patients and health care workers and emphasizes the importance of prevention and making primary care a more attractive career path for new physicians.

In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn, is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work, unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don't just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that's been overlooked for far too long. It's not just about getting a seat at the table—it's about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Women in the U.S. aren't just balancing careers and caregiving—they are the invisible backbone of a broken system keeping our economy afloat. In this episode of the VEST Her Podcast, we sat down with Dr. Jessica Calarco, sociologist, professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and author of Holding It Together: How Women Became America's Safety Net. Moderating this discussion was Monica Barczak, VEST Member and Founder & Principal of Barczak Consulting, where she works with organizations to promote family economic success and well-being. Together, they unpacked the hidden burdens placed on women, the systemic challenges that force them into unpaid caregiving roles, and the urgent need for policy reform.Available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. This episode is brought to you by VEST, a peer network for women professionals and investment fund investing in women led companies.This conversation was part of a more intimate coaching session with VEST Members and has been repurposed to accommodate this episode. If you'd like to learn more about joining our peer community, go to www.vesther.co to learn more.Women as the Default Safety NetDr. Calarco's book, Holding It Together, sheds light on a troubling reality: when government and workplace policies fall short, women step in to fill the gaps—often at great personal and financial cost. She explained how this phenomenon is not just a result of individual choices but rather a deeply ingrained expectation in American society.“In the U.S., when someone loses a job, falls ill, or can't afford childcare, we don't have a strong safety net to catch them,” she explained. “Instead, we rely on women—mothers, daughters, sisters, friends—to step in. This isn't just about personal sacrifice; it's about systemic failure.”Compared to other countries with more robust social policies, the U.S. offers little in the way of paid parental leave, affordable childcare, or universal healthcare—leaving women disproportionately responsible for caregiving.For the full show notes go to www.VESTHer.co/podcast Guest BiosDr. Jessica Calarco is a sociologist and a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

What if the secret to scaling your high-ticket offer wasn't a bigger audience, but a smarter funnel? Today's case study unpacks how Vix Meldrew's surprising move to lean into an unscalable funnel strategy actually added $150K of revenue and signed 99 clients in just one year. After seeing shifts in buyer behavior, Vix leveraged the Lipstick Effect (an economic theory explained in our conversation) to tweak her funnel, swapping out a traditional webinar for a micro-class and private podcast combo, and offering an unscalable but high-touch, high trust-building opportunity on the backend.  The result? A 35% conversion rate on her first launch, consistent evergreen sales, and a staggering speed-up of the buying cycle, with the average new lead converting after just 10 days or less on her list. Here are the exact changes and execution that transformed Vix's funnel.

GET PETER'S BOOK HERE: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-79078-2   The influence of news coverage on the rise of far-right ideologies is undeniable. To better understand the potential impact of the liberal media on the development of authoritarian, ultra-nationalist, xenophobic, racist, or reactionary views, it is essential to explore the connection between dominant ideology and the role of news organizations in society. Using my analytical framework, I demonstrate how the mass media leverages the “safety net” to bolster far-right candidates and parties and weaken radical left-wing political groups and social movements, particularly during capitalist crises. My project goes beyond scrutinizing commercial media and critically analyzes the capitalist mode of production.   Check out our new bi-weekly series, "The Crisis Papers" here: https://www.patreon.com/bitterlakepresents/shop   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.

Our conversation sheds light on the collaborative efforts between ACEnet, AmeriCorps, and local farmers, which have reshaped food access and education in Athens County. From transformative programs like the Veggie Van to educational initiatives that teach children about agriculture and cooking, listeners will hear firsthand how ACEnet is making a difference. The episode highlights the critical role of business incubation services in rural settings, providing aspiring entrepreneurs with the knowledge and resources needed to flourish, and the role resources like community-scaled equipment provide for building solidarity and resilience. With stories of shared resources and financial empowerment, we delve into the supportive networks that ACEnet nurtures, including tool libraries and financial guidance. Hear about the power of community networking, and how personal experiences, from starting a mushroom farm to engaging in business counseling, reflect ACEnet's impact on local entrepreneurship. Finally, we cast an eye on the future with ACEnet's exciting participation in the Regional Food Business Center program, a USDA-funded initiative poised to revolutionize regional food economies across Central Appalachia, offering new markets and transformative opportunities.
