This is a low-effort post. I mostly want to get other people's takes and express concern about the lack of detailed and publicly available plans so far. This post reflects my personal opinion and not necessarily that of other members of Apollo Research. I'd like to thank Ryan Greenblatt, Bronson Schoen, Josh Clymer, Buck Shlegeris, Dan Braun, Mikita Balesni, Jérémy Scheurer, and Cody Rushing for comments and discussion.I think short timelines, e.g. AIs that can replace a top researcher at an AGI lab without losses in capabilities by 2027, are plausible. Some people have posted ideas on what a reasonable plan to reduce AI risk for such timelines might look like (e.g. Sam Bowman's checklist, or Holden Karnofsky's list in his 2022 nearcast), but I find them insufficient for the magnitude of the stakes (to be clear, I don't think these example lists were intended to be an [...] ---Outline:(02:36) Short timelines are plausible(07:10) What do we need to achieve at a minimum?(10:50) Making conservative assumptions for safety progress(12:33) So whats the plan?(14:31) Layer 1(15:41) Keep a paradigm with faithful and human-legible CoT(18:15) Significantly better (CoT, action and white-box) monitoring(21:19) Control (that doesn't assume human-legible CoT)(24:16) Much deeper understanding of scheming(26:43) Evals(29:56) Security(31:52) Layer 2(32:02) Improved near-term alignment strategies(34:06) Continued work on interpretability, scalable oversight, superalignment and co(36:12) Reasoning transparency(38:36) Safety first culture(41:49) Known limitations and open questions--- First published: January 2nd, 2025 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/bb5Tnjdrptu89rcyY/what-s-the-short-timeline-plan --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

Direkt an der eigenen Marina und den Media Docks vor Lübecks Altstadt gelegen, ist das The Newport eine vielseitige Location, die ich regelmäßig für Business-Shootings nutze, sprich die Media Docks. Die große Fensterfront und die maritimen Details der Veranstaltungsräume im Außenbereich bieten immer wieder interessante Kulissen. Da ich oft dort bin, habe ich über die Zeit alle Mitarbeiter des Restaurants kennengelernt – es hat sich eine Zusammenarbeit entwickelt, die ich sehr schätze. In unserem Interview lernst du Manuela Scheurer kennen, die Restaurantleitung im Newport. Sie gibt spannende Einblicke in das Tagesgeschäft, die Events und was es für sie bedeutet, Teil des Newport-Teams zu sein. Unser Gespräch ist voller Humor und Einblicke rund um Hochzeiten, Veranstaltungen und die besonderen Möglichkeiten des Newports – eine tolle Location, wenn du einen Ort für besondere Anlässe suchst. Leider wird Manuela das Newport-Team bald verlassen, um ab nächstem Jahr neue Wege zu gehen. Ein Verlust, den ich sehr bedauere, denn unsere Gespräche und der freundliche Austausch vor Ort werden mir fehlen. Umso mehr freue ich mich, dir heute dieses Gespräch zu präsentieren – viel Spaß beim Zuhören! Wer bin ich? Mein Name ist André Leisner, gebürtiger Kieler und jetzt in Lübeck lebend. Mit meinem Podcast möchte ich Dir einen Einblick hinter die Kulissen eines Berufsfotografen geben und Dir nützliche Tipps zum Thema Fotografie an die Hand geben.

Le Musée d'Art et d'Histoire de Genève (MAH) présente jusqu'au 29 septembre prochain, une exposition inédite dédiée à l'artiste Irène Zurkinden (1909-1987). L'expo dévoile pour la première fois une sélection de dessins inédits, de la bâloise, en cette année de célébration du centième anniversaire du Manifeste du Surréalisme d'André Breton. Irène Zurkinden, active dans le milieu surréaliste parisien dès 1929, est restée dans l'ombre de Meret Oppenheim, malgré ses interactions avec des figures majeures du surréalisme comme Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp et Salvador Dali. L'exposition présente 49 dessins, deux peintures et quatre carnets de croquis couvrant principalement la période 1929-1939, répartis en trois sections : la vie avant-gardiste parisienne, le milieu surréaliste, et des scènes plus intimes. Visite guidée avec Marie-Eve Celio-Scheurer la commissaire de l'exposition.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Imitation Learning from Language Feedback, published by Jérémy Scheurer on March 30, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. TL;DR: Specifying the intended behavior of language models is hard, and current methods, such as RLHF, only incorporate low-resolution (binary) feedback information. To address this issue, we introduce Imitation learning from Language Feedback (ILF), an iterative algorithm leveraging language feedback as an information-rich and natural way of guiding a language model toward desired outputs. We showcase the effectiveness of our algorithm in two papers on the task of summary writing (Scheurer et al. 2023) and code generation (Chen et al. 2023). We discuss how language feedback can be used for process-based supervision and to guide model exploration, potentially enabling improved safety over RLHF. Finally, we develop theory showing that our algorithm can be viewed as Bayesian Inference, just like RLHF, which positions it as a competitive alternative to RLHF while having the potential safety benefits of predictive models. We propose an iterative algorithm called Imitation learning from Language Feedback (ILF) that leverages language feedback to train language models to generate text that (outer-) aligns with human preferences. The algorithm assumes access to an initial LM which generates an output given a specific input. A human then provides language feedback on the input-output pair. The language feedback is not restricted in any way and can highlight issues, suggest improvements, or even acknowledge positive aspects of the output. ILF then proceeds in three steps: Generate multiple refinements of the initial LM-generated output given the input and language feedback. We use a Refinement LM (e.g., an instruction-finetuned LM) to generate the refinements (one could however use the same LM that generated the initial output). Select the refinement that best incorporates the feedback, using a language reward model such as an instruction-finetuned LM, which we call InstructRM (Scheurer et al. 2023), or using unit tests (Chen et al. 2023). Finetune the initial LM on the selected refinements given the input.These steps can be applied iteratively by using the finetuned model to generate initial outputs in the next iteration and collect more feedback on its outputs etc. Using this refine-and-finetune approach; we are finetuning an LM using language feedback in a supervised manner. A single iteration of ILF is also used as a first step in the Constitutional AI method (Bai et. al 2022). In the below figures, we show the full ILF algorithm on the task of summarization (top) and code generation (bottom). Why Language Feedback? Language Feedback is a Natural Abstraction for Humans Language Models (LMs) are powerful tools that are trained on large datasets of text from the internet. However, it is difficult to specify the intended behavior of an LM, particularly in difficult tasks where the behavior can't be adequately demonstrated or defined, which can result in catastrophic outcomes caused by goal misspecification (Langosco et al. 2021, Shah et. al 2022). To address this issue, we propose using language feedback as a way to outer-align LMs with human preferences and introduce a novel algorithm called Imitation learning from language Feedback. Compared to binary comparisons used in Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF), language feedback is a more natural and information-rich form of human feedback that conveys more bits of information, enabling a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of human preferences. Additionally, expressing feedback in language provides natural abstractions that align well with human ontology. The use of language as a transmission protocol and file format has been optimized over thousands of years to facilitate human cooperati...
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Practical Pitfalls of Causal Scrubbing, published by Jérémy Scheurer on March 27, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. TL;DR: We evaluate Causal Scrubbing (CaSc) on synthetic graphs with known ground truth to determine its reliability in confirming correct hypotheses and rejecting incorrect ones. First, we show that CaSc can accurately identify true hypotheses and quantify the degree to which a hypothesis is wrong. Second, we highlight some limitations of CaSc, in particular, that it cannot falsify all incorrect hypotheses. We provide concrete examples of false positive results with causal scrubbing. Our main finding is that false positives can occur when there is “cancellation”, i.e., CaSc causes the model to do better on some inputs and worse on others, such that, on average, the scrubbed model recovers the full loss. A second practical failure mode is that CaSc cannot detect whether a proposed hypothesis is specific enough, and it cannot distinguish between hypotheses that are extensionally equivalent. We thank Redwood Research for generously supporting this project by providing us with their Causal Scrubbing implementation, access to REMIX materials, and computational resources. We specifically thank Ansh Radhakrishnan, Buck Shlegeris, and Nicholas Goldowsdky-Dill for their feedback and advice. We thank the Long-Term Future Fund for financial support and Marcel Steimke and Lennart Heim for operational support. Finally, we thank Marius Hobbhahn, Adam Jermyn, and Erik Jenner for valuable discussions and feedback. Introduction Causal Scrubbing (CaSc) is a method to evaluate the accuracy of hypotheses about neural networks and provides a measure of the deviation of a hypothesis from the ground truth. However, CaSc does not guarantee to reject false or incomplete hypotheses. We thus believe that systematic evaluation of CaSc to investigate these limitations is valuable (in addition to evaluating its effectiveness in the wild, as done in most existing work). Hence, we evaluate CaSc to highlight its strengths and weaknesses and explore the reliability of CaSc in confirming correct hypotheses and rejecting incorrect ones. We evaluate the reliability of CaSc on synthetic graphs. While synthetic graphs are less realistic than trained neural networks, we get access to the known ground truth interpretation, which allows us to accurately evaluate our hypotheses. Since CaSc operates on general computational graphs, any results on synthetic graphs also apply to using CaSc on neural networks (although we don't make any claim on how likely the situations we find are to occur in trained neural networks). Our evaluation is based on creating a synthetic graph that solves a specific problem (e.g., sorting a list) and creating an identical interpretation graph (the correct hypothesis). We then perturb the correct interpretation graph to make the hypothesis “worse”. Finally, we evaluate whether CaSc correctly determines the better hypothesis. Ideally, we want the scrubbed loss (the loss induced by applying CaSc) to correlate with the “correctness” of a hypothesis. To determine whether a hypothesis is “better” or “worse”, we introduce the concepts of extensional and intensional equivalence between functions. Extensional equivalent functions have the same input-output behavior; for example, Quicksort and Mergesort are extensionally equivalent as they both sort an input sequence. Intensional equivalent functions are implemented in the same way mechanistically. So once we zoom further in and compare Quicksort and Mergesort algorithmically, we see that they are not intensionally equivalent. This point is already made in the CaSc writeup, and our goal is merely to highlight that in the context of mechanistic interpretability, this is an important distinction that's easy to overlook. In this post,...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Clarifying mesa-optimization, published by Marius Hobbhahn on March 21, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. Produced as part of the SERI ML Alignment Theory Scholars Program - Winter 2022 Cohort. Thanks to Jérémy Scheurer, Nicholas Dupuis and Evan Hubinger for feedback and discussion When people talk about mesa-optimization, they sometimes say things like “we're searching for the optimizer module” or “we're doing interpretability to find out whether the network can do internal search”. An uncharitable interpretation of these claims is that the researchers expect the network to have something like an “optimization module” or “internal search algorithm” that is clearly different and distinguishable from the rest of the network (to be clear, we think it is fine to start with probably wrong mechanistic models). In this post, we want to argue why we should not expect mesa-optimization to be modular or clearly different from the rest of the network (at least in transformers and CNNs) and that current architectures can already do mesa-optimization in a meaningful way. We think this implies that Mesa-optimization improves gradually where more powerful models likely develop more powerful mesa optimizers. Mesa-optimization should not be treated as a phenomenon of the future. Current models likely already do it, just in a very messy and distributed fashion. When we look for mesa optimization, we probably have to look for a messy stack of heuristics combined with search-like abilities rather than clean Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS)-like structures. We think most of our core points can be conveyed in a simple analogy. Imagine a human chess grandmaster that has to choose their moves in 1 second. In this second, they are probably not running a sophisticated tree search in their head, they rely on heuristics. These heuristics were shaped by years of playing the game and are often the result of doing explicit tree searches with more time. The resulting decision-making process is a heuristic that approximates or was at least shaped by optimization but is not an optimizer itself. This is approximately what we think mesa-optimization might look like in current neural networks, i.e. the model uses heuristics that have aspects of or approximate parts of optimization, but are not “clean” in the way e.g. MCTS is. What is an accurate definition of mesa-optimization? In risks from learned optimization mesa-optimization is characterized as [...] it is also possible for a neural network to itself run an optimization algorithm. For example, a neural network could run a planning algorithm that predicts the outcomes of potential plans and searches for those it predicts will result in some desired outcome. Such a neural network would itself be an optimizer because it would be searching through the space of possible plans according to some objective function. If such a neural network were produced in training, there would be two optimizers: the learning algorithm that produced the neural network—which we will call the base optimizer—and the neural network itself—which we will call the mesa-optimizer. In this definition, the question of whether a network performs mesa-optimization or not boils down to whether whatever it does can be categorized as optimization, planning or search with an objective function. We think this question is very hard to answer for most networks and ML applications in general, e.g. one could argue that sparse linear regression performs search according to some objective function and that the attention layer of a transformer implements search since it scans over many inputs and reweighs them. We think this is an unhelpful way to think about transformers but it might technically fulfill the criterion. On the other hand, transformers very likely can't perform variable length optimi...
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Research agenda: Formalizing abstractions of computations, published by Erik Jenner on February 2, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. Big thanks to Leon Lang, Jérémy Scheurer, Adam Gleave, and Shoshannah Tekofsky for their feedback on a draft of this post, to Euan McLean (via FAR AI) for his feedback and a lot of help with editing, and to everyone else who discussed this agenda with me, in particular Johannes Treutlein for frequent research check-ins! Summary My current agenda is to develop a formal framework for thinking about abstractions of computations. These abstractions are ways to partially describe the “algorithm” a neural network or other computation is using, while throwing away irrelevant details. Ideally, this framework would tell us 1) all possible abstractions of a given computation, and 2) which of these are most useful (for a specific purpose, such as detecting deception). “Useful” doesn't necessarily mean “easily human-understandable”—I see that as an open question. I anticipate the main applications to alignment to be automating interpretability or mechanistic anomaly detection. There are also potential connections to other alignment topics, such as natural abstractions or defining terms like “search process”. This agenda is at an early stage (I have been thinking about it for ~2 months, and about related topics for another ~2 months before that). So feedback now could change my future direction. I also list a few potential projects that seem self-contained. If you're interested in working on any of those, or collaborating in some other way, please get in touch! I encourage you to skip around and/or only read parts of the post. Here's an overview: Introduction and Q&A mostly talk about motivation and connections to alignment.. What are abstractions of computations? discusses my current guess as to what the framework should look like. There's a list of Some potential projects. Appendix: Related work gives a quick overview of relevant work in academia, and the relation between this agenda and other alignment research. This post doesn't contain any actual theorems or experiments, so if you're only interested in that, you can stop reading. Introduction Humans can't just look at the weights of a neural network and tell what it's doing. There are at least two reasons for this: Neural network weights aren't a format we're great at thinking about. Neural networks are often huge. The second point would likely apply to any system that does well on complicated tasks. For example, neural networks are decision trees, but this doesn't mean we can look at the decision tree corresponding to a network and understand how it works. To reason about these systems, we will likely have to simplify them, i.e. throw away details that are irrelevant for whatever we want to find out. In other words, we are looking for abstractions of computations (such as neural networks). Abstractions are already how we successfully reason about many other complicated systems. For example, if you want to understand the Linux kernel, you wouldn't start by reading the entire source code top to bottom. Instead, you'd try to get a high-level understanding—what are the different modules, how do they interact? Similarly, we use pseudocode to more easily communicate how an algorithm works, abstracting away low-level details. If we could figure out a general way to find useful abstractions of computations, or at least of neural networks, perhaps we could apply this to understand them in a similar way. We could even automate this process and mechanically search for human-understandable abstractions. Making things easier to understand for humans isn't the only application of abstractions. For example, abstractions have been used for more efficient theorem proving and in model checking (e.g. abstract inte...

On episode 25, Dr. Ross M. Ramsey, MD, President & CEO of Scheurer Health, gives listeners an inside look at working in one of Michigan's rural hospitals as both a clinician and leader. Ramsey, who grew up in the region before attending medical school at Michigan State University, explains the care model and culture that sets rural hospitals like Scheurer apart from their urban counterparts. The episode, currently available to steam on Spotify, YouTube and Apple Podcasts, also explores the vital role healthcare plays in rural communities and why those in the medical field might consider a career in the less populated areas of the state.

"Commuting to office work is obsolete. It is now infinitely easier, cheaper, and faster to do what the 19th century could not do, move information, and with it office work to where the people are, the tools to do so are already here. The telephone two-way video, electronic mail, the fax machine, the personal computer, and so on." Peter Drucker (1989) In 2020, over 30 years later, futurist and management guru Peter Drucker's prediction came true with a bang. With the mandated COVID lockdowns, suddenly everybody had to learn to work from home. Office occupancy plummeted from 90% to 10% and we all learned about how to Zoom. Since then people are going back to the office, but occupancy still averages only 40 to 50% depending on the market, and in New York lower. So what's going to happen next? In this episode, I talk with commercial real estate expert extraordinaire John Scheurer about the prospects for office work and office buildings. John heads the real estate investing arm of Siguler Guff and was formerly CEO of Allied Capital after leading its very successful commercial real estate business. “What COVID forced us to do is cram 50 years' worth of commuting to the office to working wherever you wanted to work into two years” explains John. One big beneficiary of the office exodus has been residential housing prices, which rose in some markets up to 50% fueled by people wanting to get bigger houses so they can have a home office. With people not wanting to return to the office, demand for office leases has collapsed from 250 million square feet of office space signed for in 2019 to about 50 million in 2022. Microsoft is reportedly giving up office in Seattle - a million square feet of space - and Reebok and hundreds of big companies have concluded to dramatically cut back as well. Allstate is getting rid of their suburban Chicago campus, because 75% of their people are now working remotely. So this is an interesting story about how businesses and markets adapt to changing fortunes. Will empty office buildings be converted to condos? Will tech workers be lured back to work with promises of private offices? Did businesses need all those employees to begin with? After all, Elon Musk fired 80% of Twitter's so-called workers and its seems to be operating just fine. One of the fascinating aspects of this story is how entrepreneurs take advantage of distressed markets and can turn despair into opportunity. With the prices of office buildings falling, is this actually a good time to invest? John and I also talk about what's happening to hotel and retail properties, and where the future is not as bleak as it looked just a couple of years ago. I asked John where he would invest today and his answers were intriguing.
In this episode, I talk with Stephea Scheurer-Melynk of Joe Homebuyer in Southeast Michigan about how she got her start in wholesaling with Joe Homebuyer and why she ultimately decided to join the Joe Homebuyer franchise out of the many businesses that she investigated. She shares her start, how she has benefited from the ongoing support that Joe Homebuyer provides and the benefits she has found from working with the corporate team as well as other franchisees in different markets. She also shares how she has been able to build up her own buyer's list and network with other real estate professionals even though she had no prior wholesaling experience prior to joining the Joe Homebuyer franchise.

Stephan Scheurer, Leiter Pflege und Betreuung im Basler Demenzheim Dandelion hält davon überhaupt nichts: «Man darf die Patienten nicht veraschen.» Auch würde er seinen Bewohnern nie eine Babyflasche geben, nur weil sie Probleme haben, aus einem Glas zu trinken: «Das sind erwachsene Menschen, die ihre Menschenwürde verdienen», sagt Scheurer.In der aktuellen Podcastfolge erklärt er, was die Pflege mit Demenzkranken so einzigartig macht und dass nicht jeder Patient unglücklich mit seiner Diagnose ist.
In this episode of This Must be The Place Liz opportunistically interviews Associate Professor Jan Scheurer. Jan has been involved in public transport accessibility research for several decades and has a particular interest in comparing the performance of public transport between cities, as well as identifying changes in networks over time. From the basics of better bus network planning, to the more recent hype cycle of trackless trams, here Jan reflects on lessons for public transport and liveability in Australian cities. Jan nearly always travels by PT or bike - and on this occasion he joined us in small-town Elmore, arriving on the late train in mid-winter in time for a 3 course meal by the fire. Which sounds a bit like the opening to a murder mystery but instead the conversation covers: • The SNAMUTS accessibility model; • Comparing public transport between cities and over time; • Recent improvements in public transport in Auckland and Sydney; • Bus network changes and the latest in network planning; • Lags in public transport in growing Australian cities; • Limitations of political announceables and major infrastructure focuses; • What constitutes good, user-friendly public transport including frequencies; • Reflections on hype cycles and panacea solutions in public transport; • Trackless trams!; • What is a trackless tram? What is a tram? What is a bus? Also what is a monorail?; • (General discussion of linguistic and operational differences along this spectrum); • Where trackless trams might work – e.g. expanding outer suburbs, or regional cities (Bendigo!); • “As a transport researcher I see my role as mitigating both ends of the hype cycle”; • The costs of tracks and of trams themselves; • Regional cities and their transport opportunities and challenges – is the Sunshine Coast what the Gold Coast was like 20 years ago?; • Meanwhile in Elmore – ‘big' trains (18 services per week!), and the mini train; • Never having a driver's license; • Bike riding in Perth and Baja California; • Living in Barcelona and “it's true that living in Barcelona you often spend extended periods of time not even thinking about cars”; • Lessons for Australian cities: “Dare to be a public transport city, dare to be an active transport city”; • Improvement is a long process, but “the outcome is a more liveable and sustainable city and what's wrong with that?”.
I'm finalising my next podcast interview, so time for another throwback this week, my interview with Pascale Scheurer from July 2020. As it's Digital Construction Week, this conversation feels even more pertinent covering ‘Strategy, technology & digital'. Pascale has had a varied career from working in tech to architecture and has amazing insights to share. We touch on topics including the importance of digital marketing, the types of leadership skills necessary to be successful at marketing today and the importance of attracting and retaining talent. And why we all need to build relationships and networks.

Kraftorte, Wasseradern, Erdstrahlen – Realität oder esoterischer Humbug? Der Begriff Wasseradern ist vermutlich unglücklich gewählt. Die Energiebahnen, die wir überall im Boden finden, ähneln dann doch ehr den Meridianen und Energiebahnen der Erde als einem unterirdischen Wasserverlauf. Wechselweise alle paar Meter können wir überall auf diesem Planeten positive Strahlen und negative Strahlen feststellen. Positive Strahlen, die uns Energie und Kraft spenden und negative Energielinien, die wie eine Art Staubsauger, ununterbrochen an unserem Aurafeld saugen. Vor allem dann, wenn wir darauf arbeiten oder schlafen. Jeder hat schon von Fällen gehört, bei denen man schwere Krebserkrankungen, ursächlich auf „Wasseradern“ zurückführt. Auch in unserer Arbeitswelt spielen negative Energiebahnen im Boden eine wichtige Rolle. Leistung können Menschen langfristig nur auf positiven Linien erbringen. Übrigens kann nahezu jeder diese Energiebahnen finden. Nach einer kurzen Einweisung können vermutlich auch Sie solche Energielinien feststellen und vermessen. Nur Offenheit und Neutralität ist notwendig. Oft reicht es dann schon aus, das Bett oder den Arbeitsplatz, um wenige cm zu verrücken. Sie wollen geholfen bekommen? – schreiben Sie mir kurz eine Mail andreas.kolos@cutumi.com

Speaking Of Show - Making Healthcare Work for You & Founder's Mission Series
Dr. Mark Scheurer, Chief of Children's and Women's at the Medical University of South Carolina, shares an inside look at the innovation and patient-centered approach at the new Children's Hospital. They took nothing for granted during the 4-5 year planning/building. The story is impressive and moving. Hospital leadership “expected innovation,” and the planning team started from a point of deconstruction. Dr. Scheurer said the team had a shared vision that healthcare is an interpersonal relationship. Re-thinking everything from how doctors round, document, bill, and the technology, they were able to quickly pivot when the pandemic hit (…3 weeks after the hospital opened in early 2020!).

Dow Foundation, and the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine Family Medicine Department. We are so excited to bring you Season Three. I'm your host, Julia Terhune, and I hope you enjoy this episode. Julia Terhune When I first started this job, I was overcome with the needs of rural communities and the wonderful things that doctors get to do in their professions. I was, I guess you could say, fangirling a little about rural doctors. And I told my spouse that this was really what I wanted to do, that I think I wanted to be a doctor. So I had it all figured out. I was going to go to Michigan State University College of Human Medicine. I was going to do the TIP program at the Midland Family Medicine Residency, and then when it was all said and done, I was going to set up a practice with Scheurer Hospital in the Thumb. Julia Terhune Now, I have to tell you two very important things that came out of this conversation with my spouse. One, he instantly reminded me that I can barely handle a paper cut, let alone a surgery rotation, and he also reminded me that I would hysterically cry before every anatomy, biology, physiology and chemistry test that I took in college. He also reminded me that my GRE examination for grad school almost killed me with stress, so medical school is not in my future and I will stick to making rural doctors out of the likes of all of you. Julia Terhune But one subtle thing that also came out of this conversation was how much I love the Thumb community. Prior to starting with the College of Human Medicine I had never even been to the Thumb, but after six years of working with the Scheurer Hospital and the health departments and other agencies in these communities, I am smitten. I love the people from the Thumb. I love the history, I love the coastline, I love these communities. A story, not unlike many of our medical students, including Shelby Walker. Shelby Walker Yeah, so when I found out I would be going to Pigeon, I had never been there before. I don't think I had ever been to the actual Thumb before, maybe close to it but I don't think it was within what they count as the Thumb. And so I had my boyfriend at the time drive me out there just so I could see where I'd be going. So I thought it would make me feel a little bit more comfortable, and we got there and everything was so small. It was such a small town that I almost didn't believe that there was a hospital and a health system there that could especially accommodate students, so it was kind of an odd like, "What am I going to do for two years with a lot of time out in Pigeon?" It was a very odd feeling. Shelby Walker And so when we started, my first rotation of third year actually started in the Scheurer Health system with Dr. Scaddan in Sebewaing, and everyone was so welcoming and nice, and who let me do things, which as a third year medical student I was like, "Wait, am I qualified to do actual things?" And I think I had so many unique experiences out there because of where I was at. With Dr. Scaddan I got to be introduced to the ER, maybe a little bit earlier, and their definition of an ER was not what I had seen in the past but they still had some pretty intense situations and things that really were true emergencies that maybe you wouldn't expect in the middle of nowhere in, I think, a five-bed ER situation. Shelby Walker We went to the prison to do some healthcare with the inmates. That was an interesting experience that I wasn't really expecting when I had first pulled up into Pigeon. And from there I got to meet so many other amazing physicians and EPPs and just everyone there has been so nice [inaudible 00:05:05] Oh gosh, the administrative staff knows who you are when you show up to their meetings in the morning, because the physicians invite you to go with them to all of these meetings that you feel like you have no business really knowing what's going on, but they bring you to these meetings and the administration staff, they know who you are. They ask how you're doing, they asked how you're liking it. It was such an odd thing to, I guess, stumble into kind of on accident. I'm really grateful that I got that chance. Julia Terhune And if that's not enough anecdotal evidence to prove that Pigeon will win you over, well listen to this. Shelby Walker So I was talking to Chad about this, and then with Dr. Wendling actually, how odd this all turned out that I didn't want to go to Pigeon and I wanted to go to [Alma 00:05:57] and then I was like, "Okay, I'll do the nice thing." And Chad and I got engaged in Caseville. We went to Caseville on the beach. Julia Terhune Our rural medical affiliation with the Scheurer Hospital network didn't start just six years ago. We have a much longer history with the hospital and have been training students in Pigeon for more than 20 years. I sat down with the former CEO, Dwight Gascho, and the current CEO, Terry Lerash, who served and serve the Scheurer Health Network and learned just how it all got started. Terry Lerash Well, interesting story. I was working in Saginaw. I had a good position, felt satisfied, but my wife and I were on a Saturday afternoon or morning, we were standing in a field on an Amish farm in Gaylord or near Gaylord attending a wedding of a daughter of my CFO at the time, a guy that worked with me over many, many years. We were good friends so we got invited to the wedding and we're standing in this field and across the field walks Dwight and Theresa. And we had known each other for some time, Dwight and I had, probably over the last 20 years, involvement in hospital council, and health care executives, it's a pretty small circle in the State of Michigan. Most of us know each other. Terry Lerash Anyways, I said hello to Dwight. He says hello to me, and I said to Dwayne, "Well, I hear you are interested in retiring," and Dwight said, "Yes, I am. Would you like my job?" And I was a little bit stunned. Said, "Well, geez, I don't know." My wife was looking at me weird and I said, "Well, are you serious?" And he says, "Absolutely am serious." And he said, "Why don't you do me a favor? Why don't you come to Pigeon and just visit with me for a day? That's all I'm asking. No commitment, no strings attached, just come up and visit with me for a day." Terry Lerash And out of our friendship, I said, "Okay, I can do that. I can spare a day and run up to Pigeon. This is my old stomping ground anyways. I was born and raised in Bad Axe." So I had been away for probably 40 plus years from my hometown of Bad Ax and it was a chance for me to just get reacquainted with Huron County. So I drove up and I think within the first hour I was so enchanted with Scheurer Hospital because of its culture, friendliness, cleanliness, organization, and clearly Dwight's leadership was a big plus. Terry Lerash And as I talked with Dwight through the course of that day and learned more about Scheurer, I understood that the core values of the organization really matched me, kind of fit my dress code, if you will. And so I was intrigued and left and then made a subsequent visit and met with the board and long story short, here I am and I couldn't be happier. This was really a great opportunity for me [inaudible 00:09:29] Dwight Gascho And as I reflect on that side of the story, my story would match it almost exactly. I was born and raised in the Pigeon area. I was on a farm, left for a few years for school and the service, et cetera. Came back in 1972 and in 1987, I was invited to serve on the Scheurer Hospital Board of Trustees. And we were having some issues at the time, and in 1990, the board asked if I would take the leadership position in the hospital as the CEO. And I agreed to do that on an interim basis saying, "I'll give it a shot, but if it doesn't work maybe I could help find the next leader." Well, after just a matter of a few months, the board took the interim assignment away and gave me the full-time assignment and so I worked here from 1990 until July of 2016, 26 years plus. Dwight Gascho Obviously the hospital was struggling early on. The hospital became more profitable as years went by. We became more successful at recruiting young physicians. And there had been a gentlemen that had served on the board by the name of Loren Gettel. Loren Gettel was a farmer in this area and had a very strong interest in seeing students find opportunities to train in some rural community, and he put that bug in my ear. As a matter of fact, Julie, when I was being asked to serve, Loren asked the board chair if he could spend a day with me. And I'm fully aware of what it was. It was part of a program to see once if I passed the exam, so I think I was being vetted by Loren Gettel. Dwight Gascho So we jumped in the car. We drove to MSU and we walked the campus of MSU. He's a very, very strong MSU campaign leader. I mean, he loves that organization. He was grinning away. And he showed me places that were memorable to him and he showed me plaques on walls where he had made contributions to the organization and he said, "Dwight, some how, some way we have got to find ways to introduce medical students to rural communities because I've lived in a rural community all my life." This is Loren speaking, "And candidly, it's a great place to live. It's a great place to raise kids and we've got great schools, great churches. There's all sorts of things that you can do around here and we've got to find ways to do this." Dwight Gascho And that was something he just kept putting into my head. Unfortunately, he passed away from cancer just few years after I became CEO here in 1990 but his daughter, Peggy McCormick, continues to serve on the board of directors and she has a very similar burning desire to see some sort of a relationship with rural communities. Julia Terhune The Loren Gettel scholarship is a scholarship that our rural medical education students are still receiving today. And in fact, since 2010, 11 students have received this scholarship including Dan Drake who you heard just a few seasons ago and is going to be returning to the Thumb for practice in just a few short months. Dwight Gascho Terry was not a hospital CEO, but he was running an organization at the time that was an important part of the whole council and that's was Synergy Medical Educational Alliance. Terry Lerash So I was, quite frankly, offering to the hospital council opportunities for them to perhaps have students in their communities and in their hospitals, if they were able to provide the right types of resources. Well, after that hospital council meeting, I had two calls. One of them was from Dwight, in fact he was the first one that called me. And I think he probably was reflecting on Loren's message to him, and saw this was a great opportunity and so he called me and he asked if we could talk more about becoming a MSU student site. And so we worked through all the details. I can't remember all the details involved, but I remember driving two students up here and one of them was by the name of Kimiko Sugimoto. And she is now a general surgeon who actually completed the MSU rotation, her general surgery rotation in Saginaw, and is practicing in Saginaw as a general surgeon as we speak. Terry Lerash But she was one of the first students to come to Pigeon, and Dwight was so gracious in entertaining them and took them to board meetings and got them involved and connected with all sorts of things here at the hospital and they had a wonderful experience. And I can't even remember what the length of the rotation was but I know your physicians got involved in- Dwight Gascho It was actually a little longer than what it was supposed to be. It just stretched out. That was a first for them and a first for us, and so we were thrilled and enthralled to have these young students. Of course, they're brilliant kids and they're so much fun, they're very respectful. I included them in my leadership meetings and learn from what we were doing. I wanted them to get as much of an experience in a rural setting as they possibly could get. So medical staff meetings, board meetings, leadership meetings, interact with the patients, interact with the staff, it was all part of it. Terry Lerash And I think that we got raving reviews after that about their experience in Pigeon 20 years ago. And so I look at Scheurer Hospital as really a teaching hospital, and so we've built that culture. We, meaning Dwight, for many, many years, and me most recently, built a culture of a teaching organization and I think that started 20 years ago with Dr. Sugimoto, actually, as that first student. Julia Terhune That involvement with the leadership at our rural hospitals is one of the pillars of our rural medical education certificate, one that really lands with students and makes an impact. Pigeon makes a place for aspiring rural medical doctors, a place where people can come back and grow. People like Elizabeth and our recent graduate, Evan. Elizabeth is a native of Cass City who, when I interviewed her, was planning to go back to the Thumb for her medical education and now is halfway through her third year of medical schooling. Evan recently graduated medical school and is completing an internal medicine residency in Detroit. Elizabeth Yeah, I am super excited to go back. I recently had the opportunity to shadow at Scheurer and had some downtime and was able to go back down to the floor and see a lot of the nurses and the nurses aides that I worked with, and it just made me even more excited to go back there and be back with that group of people and in that environment and continue my education there. And I think it's really important if you eventually want to serve in a rural area to see how rural medicine is different. I can tell you, I had my adult wards rotation for second year at Sparrow this morning and it's way different. It's a different environment, there's different types of cases, so I'm excited about that. Elizabeth I'm excited to develop those relationships that you get to develop in rural areas that you don't get so much in bigger hospitals, relationships with patients and relationships with colleagues, other physicians, other employees in the hospital. I'm really excited to be a part of that and just be a part of that group and that kind of close knit community again. Evan I think the thing that's going to stick with me is that the sort of idealized version of a physician or what a doctor could be, sort of that dream, is still alive in a lot of places. I think a lot of times we get down on what medicine is becoming or has become or how it's changing and how the role of the physician is changing, and maybe it's not what we had thought. You know, a country doctor making house visits, knowing all their patients, delivering babies and doing minor surgeries and really being that do-it-all type of doctor who's also involved in their community, who's also a community leader. We don't see that as much anymore, I think, especially in bigger cities. Evan But having that experience in a rural community shows me that it's still possible. I've met plenty of physicians who were that do-it-all type of person. They were in covering shifts in the ED in the night and then in the morning they were in their clinic and after that they were on the board of the hospital and they still made it to their kids' sports games where they were the sports medicine physician there, and they were on the Rotary Club board as well. I mean, they were just in every facet of their community, being that leader and being that physician and everybody knew them. Evan And so I think it gives me inspiration that I can be the type of physician some day that I think I always wanted to be, or I was always really intrigued by. And I think that's a really great image and vision to sort of hold onto as you go through your training and ultimately look at how you want to set up your practice in life and where you want to end up. Julia Terhune I am proud and MSU is proud of our partnership with the Scheurer Hospital system and all of the hospitals, clinics and health departments that we get to work with in the Thumb region. All of these places have significantly contributed to our students' rural medical education, places like Hills & Dales Hospital in Cass City, McKenzie Health System in Sandusky, the Harbor Beach Community Hospital, and the Huron County, Tuscola County and Sanilac County Health Departments have all been taking our students for many years. The leaders of all of these facilities have become our friends and have taken on so much for our students. I can't even begin to thank them. They have provided not only a place for medical education during regular times and pandemic times, but they've been mentors and leaders that have provided students with perspectives they wouldn't have gotten anywhere else. Julia Terhune On top of that, they have constantly supported our program, our Pipeline program, and even things like this podcast. They have gone above and beyond to be so much more than just medical education partners and I think that that's one of the most important things about rural medical education is that you can't walk into a rural educational environment and not leave with family, friends and a brand new community. So we love Scheurer, we love the Thumb, but what do those who receive care from Scheurer think? I spoke to Lynn and Abby who not only receive medical care from Scheurer Health professionals, but are also employees. Speaker 7 The more we grow, it gives the community another option and they're like, "Oh, well, oh, they can do that there. Okay, well, I'm going to go there then or request services there." Speaker 8 It goes back to not being a number. Really, everywhere that you go here, they know you. They know your family, they know something about you, and they built a Meijer in Bad Axe that opened in July [crosstalk 00:21:40] We've got a clinic in there and things that can't get handled there, they can do at the Bad Axe site, and if they can't do it at the Bad Axe site they can send them to Pigeon. So it's all within... What is it? We have something within 12 miles of each other always. Speaker 7 [crosstalk 00:21:57] Julia Terhune Thank you for listening to this podcast. I want to thank Dwight and Terry for taking time to speak with me, along with Shelby, Liz, Evan, Lynn, and Abby for their contributions to this episode. As always, thank you to Dr. Wendling for making this podcast a priority. I love getting the opportunity to hear and tell these stories. Also, Dr. Wendling, herself, is from the Thumb just adding more proof to the theory that some of the best doctors come from the pollex, the scientific term for Thumb. See, I learned something in anatomy. The Thumb is a wonderful place, a place where you can really make rural your mission. How did we do on your transcript?

Balancing family and business - If you happen to already have a family when you start your own venture, you’ll face trade offs between your family and your work life. Don’t try to sugarcoat this. Be honest with yourself and your loved ones about the choices you make in this trade off. - Having a partner by your side who is willing to “watch your back” while you are focusing on your venture is invaluable. Consider making an explicit contract / commitment about what you each expect from each other. - Find a model that works for everyone (e.g. your partner stays at home full time with the kids but always gets Sundays off for Golf) and define a time period for which you’ll stick with this model before you reevaluate. This helps to reduce stress from constant negotiations and uncertainty. Earn out periods - When your company gets bought, it’s customary to agree on a so-called “earnout period”. This means that crucial members of your (management) team commit to continue working at the new mother company for X amount of time in order to receive additional compensation. - Earnout compensations are usually tied to a performance metric (such as earnings or gross sales) but sometimes just depend on the founders staying with the mother company for the agreed period of time. - Typical earnout periods last between 2-4 years. Life after the exit - Some founders describe feelings of “post exit depressions”, a feeling of emptiness and sadness. This is probably a result of unrealistic expectations about how great the exit will feel coupled with a sense of loss and / or burnout. Whatever it may be, talk to others about the way you are experiencing the situation and don’t hesitate to get help. - Make a plan for how you are going to make your money work for you. Getting professional help with investing is usually advisable. Rely on your network for recommendations about investment professionals. Memorable Quotes "I'm just not a corporate guy. I like new things and I don't like being told what to do." "Wealth for me is just an instrument that allows me to be independent and happy."

Simon holds a Masters in Physics, Mathematics and Sociology from the University of Berne. He started his career as CTO at the digital agency Unic - the same company as Swisspreneur guest and Fashion Days Founder Markus Okumus. After 7 years in consulting, Simon left the company with the desire to start a product business. He started Milgram Media which at the time was a direct competitor to Doodle. The company struggled to stay ahead of Doodle with its offering and after losing several important deals, the founders decided to exit for a modest sum. Not at all discouraged by the failure, Simon started Qumram. The idea for the product had emerged years prior and he decided to turn it into a business when large corporates started asking for digital compliance solutions. With Qumram, Simon was able to get several renowned investors on board, among them Swisspreneur guest Ariel Lüdi and Investiere. In 2017, Qumram was acquired by Dynatrace for an undisclosed amount. Memorable Quotes "When the employee number goes above 100 or so, maintaining the entrepreneurial spirit starts getting really tricky." "People are very reluctant to change. So you have to be massively better than the tool that they already know, use and like."

Danny Scheurer founded Save-A-Vet after returning home to Illinois with disabilities sustained while serving in Iraq. Save-A-Vet helps dogs injured on military or law enforcement duty by hiring veterans to care for and manage them. The group, says Danny, has three objectives: “Create facilities in every state for our K-9 partners; hire retired, injured or disabled law enforcement and military veterans to live and work in the facilities; and lobby to have the dogs classified as veterans rather than equipment.” Kurt Walchele founded Survival Straps on a camping trip.

His product, Survival Straps, creates watchbands woven from a dozen feet of super strong military spec paracord which you can unravel, in an emergency, to give you a rope that will hold, tie, fasten, connect and secure just about anything.
