In the last 10 years, I've posted many of my thoughts about getting into grad school. Here is the current state of my "wisdom," such as it is, now as department chair of chemical and sustainability engineering at the University of Rochester.

Leading a major health system today means juggling patient-first ethics with a financing model that keeps tightening the screws. In this episode, Chris Van Gorder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Scripps Health, explains why health care is becoming structurally unaffordable amid soaring premiums, uncompensated emergency care, and rising input costs. He describes how hospitals have become the default safety net as county systems disappear, while underpayment by Medicare and Medicaid forces cost shifting onto employers and commercially insured patients. Van Gorder also highlights California's seismic rebuilding mandates, which create massive capital pressure without matching reimbursement. He critiques managed care, value-based care, and Medicare Advantage for pushing risk onto providers through prior authorization and denials, recounting Scripps' difficult decision to exit several Medicare Advantage contracts after heavy losses and the downstream impact on patients. Tune in and learn how payment design, intermediaries, and regulation shape what hospitals can sustain and what patients can access. Resources: Connect with and follow Chris Van Gorder on LinkedIn.

You've probably heard about real estate before as a great way to grow or invest your money for the long-term.   But that doesn't mean that you can just start with no strategy, or plan, however.   In this episode of Women and Wealth, Regina talks with Lindsay Davis, CEO and co-founder of Spartan Invest, about building passive income through single-family real estate.   Lindsay explains what "turnkey" investing looks like, why the Southeast has been a strong target for investors, how she evaluates neighborhoods, and the real risks to understand before buying. They also get into retirement planning and why diversifying your income streams early matters, so you can work because you want to, not because you have to.   Episode Highlights:   0:00 - Episode open and intro to Lindsay 3:27 - Landlord/tenant laws, residential properties 6:38 - How Lindsay targets areas 10:42 - Explaining risk to newcomers 18:12 - Where you can learn more 19:35 - Challenges Lindsay has faced as a professional woman 22:45 - Lindsay's plans for retirement 25:03 - Action item ABOUT REGINA MCCANN HESS   Regina is the author of Super Woman Wealth: How to Become Your Own Financial Hero.  As an advocate for women's financial freedom, she wrote this book to help empower women to take a bigger role in handling their money.     Regina has appeared on Schwab TV, Yahoo Finance, Forbes.com, NTD Television, CBS 3 Philadelphia, Fox 29 Philadelphia, King 5 Seattle, KTLA 5 Los Angeles and Scripps News.  She has also been quoted in numerous articles in publications such as Forbes, Business Insider, U.S. News & World Report, Yahoo Finance, USA Today, USA Wire, Word in Black, WTOP News, Mind Body Green, Money Digest, New York Post, Defender, Authority Magazine, GoBankingRates.com, Scripps and The Muse.   As Founder of Forge Wealth Management, Regina utilizes her 25+ years of financial services experience to help individuals plan, preserve and diversify their wealth.  She focuses on educating her clients while building long-term relationships with them and their families.  Her experience throughout major shifts in the markets, enables Regina to structure balanced portfolios to address specific financial goals.

When law enforcement calls a press conference, they're supposed to provide clarity and control the narrative. Last week's Pima County Sheriff's press conference about missing 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie—mother of Today Show anchor Savannah Guthrie—did the opposite.I brought on Emmy-winning former network correspondent Clayton Sandell to break down what went wrong. He spoke with me during a live chat on Substack on February 6, 2026. Clayton spent 25+ years covering major breaking news for ABC and Scripps, and now trains leaders on crisis communication. If anyone knows what a press conference should look like, it's him. We dissect:Why Sheriff Nanos appeared defensive and disorganized from the startThe critical mistakes: "Your guess is as good as mine" and "mistakes will be made"How the FBI agent's composure highlighted the sheriff's strugglesAshley Banfield's controversial reporting on a "person of interest"Whether the $50,000 reward press conference was even necessaryWhy the family's ransom video echoes Silence of the LambsHow NBC is managing tragedy during Olympic coverageThis isn't a true-crime episode; it's crisis communication. However, the discussion does shed light on how an investigation can lose its way. When a press conference becomes part of the crisis instead of the solution, every misstep gets magnified. This case study shows exactly how that happens in real time.What you'll learn: How to spot when officials are scrambling versus strategically withholding information, the difference between media training for one-on-ones versus press conferences, why "focusing on process" signals a lack of substantive leads, and what reporters are really looking for when they're in that room.Guest: Clayton Sandell, Emmy Award-winning former ABC News and Scripps correspondent, crisis communication trainerWatch the press conference here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzPe6wG3GY0Want More Behind the Breakdown?

From Fear to Friendship: The 30-Year Journey of an Interracial Women's Circle What does it really take for women across race, identity, and experience to move from awkward conversations to real friendship? In this episode, I talk with two people I deeply respect—Julie O'Mara and Dr. Sid Reel—about a women's circle I'm part of  that's been meeting for nearly 30 years. What started as a conference breakout session turned into something far more rare: a space where white women and women of color stayed in relationship through grief, anger, mistakes, growth, and joy. We talk about confidentiality and why it matters. About staying at the table when things get uncomfortable. About what happens when people don't feel alone anymore. And about the difference between talking about race and actually knowing people whose lives are shaped by it. This isn't theory. It's lived experience. And it's a reminder that real connection doesn't come from slogans or training slides—it comes from time, trust, and being willing to keep showing up. We share raw, transformative experiences that took us from initial fear and distrust to deep, meaningful friendships. The episode explores the group's origins, the critical role of confidentiality, and the hard truths they've confronted about race, privilege, and solidarity. You'll learn the challenges and rewards of having tough conversations about race and how these led to profound support and solidarity during life's toughest moments.   Timestamps & Key Segments: 00:00 Introduction and Podcast Overview 01:10 Meet the Guests: Julie O'Mara and Dr. Sid Real 04:45 The Women's Circle: Origins and Purpose 12:38 Confidentiality and Trust Building 20:02 Personal Stories and Experiences 27:54 Challenges and Learnings in DEI 35:50 Standing Up and Women's Circle Support 36:57 Building Comfort and Social Connections 38:26 Shared Experiences and Mutual Support 41:33 Assumptions and Learning Moments 54:00 Starting and Sustaining a Circle 01:01:12 Final Thoughts and Contact Information Guest Bio:Julie O'Mara is coauthor of the free Global Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Benchmarks (GDEIB): Standards for Organizations Around the world along with Alan Richter, PhD, and Nene Molefi.
