Originally uploaded December 18th, reloaded Dec. 23rd. Jeffrey Mosher welcomes Jon Baker, director of laboratories at University of Michigan Health-Sparrow, Lansing, MI. Welcome Jon, yesterday UM Health-Sparrow installed a first-of-its-kind lab automation to speed patient results, tell us about the event? "We hear a lot about automation in manufacturing, but in a hospital lab? Can you explain in simple terms what this FlexLab X machine actually does?" "For our listeners who might get blood work done, what does this mean for them personally? How will they notice a difference?" "This is called a 'first-of-its-kind' system. What makes it so unique and groundbreaking compared to how labs have traditionally operated?" "With a machine handling more tasks, what's the impact on the lab scientists and technicians? Does this change their jobs?" "Looking ahead, how does an investment like this fit into the bigger picture for UM Health-Sparrow and the care available to our community in the future?" » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ UM Health-Sparrow installs first-of-its-kind lab automation to speed patient results LANSING, Mich. – The University of Michigan Health-Sparrow activated a new, laboratory automation system that boasts drastically shorter turnaround times for lab tests. The system is among the first of its kind in the nation. The shortened turnaround times enable quicker diagnosis and treatment. The automated processes minimize manual handling errors and strenuous manual tasks for staff, enhancing overall testing quality and consistency, and contribute to shorter hospital stays. "This investment is about getting critical results to our physicians faster," said Jon Baker, director of laboratories at University of Michigan Health-Sparrow. The FlexLab X is a fully integrated automation line that manages sample tubes from check-in through final output. Representatives from Siemens-Healthineers, manufacturer of the FlexLab X, joined hospital leadership for the event. "We look forward to building upon our relationship with this new technology to support University of Michigan Health-Sparrow's goals in driving greater efficiency in their lab and delivering faster results for patients," said Jennifer Murphy, senior vice president of national strategic accounts at Siemens-Healthineers. The U-M Health Sparrow Laboratories is among the busiest hospital labs in the country, receiving lab results from throughout the state. The lab distinguished itself during the COVID-19 pandemic, becoming the first hospital to develop an inpatient COVID test and opening a drive-thru testing site at a former Sears Automotive Center.

Send us a textA single convincing email can move real money. We break down how Scripted Sparrow and other BEC crews spoof reply chains, impersonate trusted service providers, and slip under approval thresholds to nudge finance teams into wiring funds. The threat isn't flashy malware; it's pressure, process gaps, and the illusion of internal approval. We talk through the red flags that matter, from sudden vendor banking changes to realistic W9 attachments and urgent payment timelines, and then lay out the safeguards that stop these scams cold.From there, we zoom out to the full incident management lifecycle and make it practical. You'll hear how we define an incident by its impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and why that clarity speeds action. We map the steps—detection, response, mitigation, reporting, recovery, remediation, and lessons learned—and explain what they look like in a real company: one-click phishing reporting for employees, prepared legal statements for regulators, isolation choices that protect revenue, and documentation habits that pay off when auditors and insurers start asking questions.We also get honest about today's attack surface. Cloud sharing, APIs, and over-permissive identities push sensitive data to the edge, making containment harder if an attacker lands. Expect persistence: backdoors, credential reuse, and lateral movement thrive when local admin rights and flat networks remain. The antidote is a blend of stronger finance workflows, pre-briefed legal and communications teams, and regular tabletop drills that involve everyone who touches money, systems, or messaging.If you're serious about preventing wire fraud and surviving security incidents with your business intact, this conversation gives you a focused plan you can adopt today.

Judy and Holly are here from Home of the Sparrow! Here is their mission and some insights from their website:"Home of the Sparrow's mission is to provide Hope, Opportunity and Support that empowers women and children as they journey from homelessness to self-sufficiency. Home of the Sparrow opened its doors as a registered 501(c)3 non-profit homeless shelter in 1987. Today, Home of the Sparrow not only provides Transitional Shelter, but also Affordable Housing and Rapid Re-Housing combined with Supportive Services that address the core issues of homelessness. Home of the Sparrow serves single women, pregnant women and women with children. Approximately 70+ percent of the women we serve have experienced domestic violence at some point on their journey. Other reasons for homelessness include unforeseen housing or financial crisis, a death in the family, or a medical emergency. The economy and rising cost of living contribute to unstable housing situations. On average Home of the Sparrow receives over 1,700+ calls a year from women in crisis and helps an average of 400+ women each year. Tax ID 36-3494491"Need assistance? Visit https://hosparrow.org/intake/Origins & Why It MattersThe journey began in 1984, when McHenry County recognized that homelessness wasn't just a city issue - neighbors right here were struggling. A church survey revealed a growing need, and the community began discussing real solutions rather than just sympathy.First Steps into ActionIn 1985, community members (yes, regular people like you and me) met over pancakes, recognized the problem was real, and decided to take action. Initially, folks weren't sure how to help, but that spark launched a movement.Shelter OpensDecember 15, 1986: The first shelter opened — not fancy, but real, offering refuge to those most in need. It became clear very quickly that the majority of people they were helping were women and children—people often left out of the conversation, but never left behind at HOS.Becoming an Organization1987: Home of the Sparrow officially incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, cementing its role as a key community resource.

In this episode of Birds of a Feather Talk Together, we revisit one of our favorite deep dives on the White-throated Sparrow, a fascinating and familiar North American bird. Join John Bates, Shannon Hackett, RJ Pole, and Amanda Pole as we explore what makes this species so unique—and why sparrows are often tricky to identify.We discuss sparrow identification, focusing on how behavior, song, and movement patterns can be just as important as plumage when telling species apart. The conversation also dives into compelling research showing how White-throated Sparrows have been shrinking in body size over the past 50 years, and how long-term museum specimen collections at the Field Museum have made this discovery possible.You'll also learn about the White-throated Sparrow's two distinct head color morphs (tan-striped and white-striped), how these morphs influence mating preferences and behavior, and why this species is such a classic example in behavioral ecology.Plus, we wrap things up by answering a mailbag question from a listener in the U.K.—all about vultures, their behavior, and why they play such an important ecological role.Grab your binoculars and join us for this science-packed, bird-loving conversation!

Robert Jacks, President and CEO of Sparrow Pharmaceuticals, identifies that an elevated cortisol level is a newly recognized cause of treatment-resistant type 2 diabetes. A significant portion of patients with diabetes who do not respond to standard treatments, including GLP-1 agonists, have underlying high cortisol. Sparrow has developed a drug designed to lower cortisol levels inside cells, directly addressing the underlying driver of the disease, and to be used as a complement to existing treatments. This concept of targeting cortisol-driven resistance could be extended to other conditions, such as treatment-resistant hypertension. Robert explains, "I feel as though Sparrow has come full circle, actually, with the mechanism of our drug. Originally, we have a drug that targets HSD-1. We can talk about what that is, but it's involved in intracellular cortisol regulation. This was a class of drugs that was originally developed targeting cardiometabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes. And the drugs had some moderate efficacy, but they weren't well differentiated in a broad population and largely were just discontinued for commercial reasons." "Our company was founded a number of years ago based on the idea that these drugs had real potential but hadn't been used in the right patient population. And that being the patient population with the disease that we know is driven by excess cortisol toxicity, because that's aligned with the mechanism, as I was mentioning. So we generated some really interesting data in a rare disease called Endogenous Cushing syndrome. This is a very severe orphan disease with patients who have very severely elevated cortisol, showing in fact that yes, this mechanism does seem like it could have a very major impact in the right patient population." "Simultaneously, another company published some data showing that actually there's a very large population of people with treatment-resistant type 2 diabetes, a very high level of medical need, and that their underlying disease actually is being driven by elevated levels of cortisol. And so when you bring together the data that we generated and what appears to be a large amount needed in a large population, it seems like we may have the perfect solution for that. So we've refocused our efforts on a broad population of treatment-resistant type 2 diabetes in patients whose disease is being impacted or driven by elevated cortisol levels."  #SparrowPharmaceuticals #Type2Diabetes #CardiometabolicDisease #CortisolRegulation #Cortisol #GLP1 #RareDisease sparrowpharma.com Download the transcript here

Thursday, Oct. 30, 11:30 a.m., MBN was on the road to East Lansing. UM Health-Sparrow, East Lansing Public Schools is opening a health clinic for young people! UM Health-Sparrow is partnering with East Lansing Public Schools to open a special health center designed to address the needs of young people, ages 5-21, and meet them where students already spend most of their day -- school. The East Lansing Public Schools Health Center, staffed by UM Health-Sparrow clinicians, will provide a variety of health services year-round, including preventative care, health screenings, health education, behavioral health services and treatment of minor injuries. The new clinic follows the model of a similar site opened last year at Grand Ledge High School and fulfills a need in the community to provide care for an underserved population. It will accept insured and uninsured patients, regardless of ability to pay, and is open to students and non-students alike. UM Health-Sparrow and East Lansing schools leaders will ceremonially open the center during a brief event. Interviews available with UM Health-Sparrow and East Lansing schools leaders, along with b-roll of the health center and event. The clinic is at East Lansing High School, 509 Burcham Drive, East Lansing. Entry to the clinic; Door 59, off of Old Hickory on the east side of the high school. Shared in the video welcome, then remarks from the school district and UMH Sparrow. » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/

Originally uploaded October 10th, reloaded October 28th. Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2025, 10 a.m., MBN was on the road to 1004 E. Michigan Ave., Lansing (at the old Rite Aid at corner of Michigan and Pennsylvania) as UM Health-Sparrow opens new pharmacy to address need in downtown Lansing. This video shares a pair of interviews following the ribbon cutting and remarks shared by dignitaries. Downtown Lansing has been a pharmacy desert since the closing of a Rite Aid. Now, UM Health-Sparrow is addressing that issue by announcing the opening of a pharmacy/Urgent Care/Occupational Health Services in the renovated and rejuvenated old Rite Aid. It's part of our commitment to the community to provide access to care and protect everyone's health.

The organization has transformed the former Rite Aid at Michigan and Pennsylvania avenues into a state-of-the-art facility offering pharmacy, urgent care, and occupational health services. The project involved a full interior demolition and rebuild, turning what was once a single-use pharmacy into a one-stop shop for diagnostics, prescriptions, and walk-in care. UM Health-Sparrow Regional President Margaret Dimond said the location was too vital to leave vacant, as the previous Rite Aid had filled nearly 100,000 prescriptions annually. Positioned across from the hospital with its own parking lot and a CATA bus stop, the new clinic provides convenience and accessibility for patients. The pharmacy also includes a drive-thru and extended evening hours, which local pharmacists say are crucial for patients seeking medications after typical business hours. Pharmacy Director Todd Belding explained that high demand for prescriptions in Sparrow's professional building helped spark the idea for the new site. He emphasized that the space not only expands pharmacy access but also integrates essential services like X-rays and diagnostic testing—all under one roof. The clinic officially opened October 6, with a ribbon-cutting two days later that filled the parking lot before the doors even opened. The pharmacy launch is part of UM Health-Sparrow's larger plan to expand healthcare access across Lansing. The system is investing roughly $150 million in projects near its downtown campus, including a new $100 million psychiatric hospital on the former Lansing Eastern High School site and an outpatient surgery center across from the new pharmacy. Together, these initiatives underscore UM Health-Sparrow's commitment to revitalizing the city's medical landscape and meeting the community's growing healthcare needs.

Originally uploaded October 9th, reloaded October 23rd. Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2025, 10 a.m., MBN was on the road to 1004 E. Michigan Ave., Lansing (at the old Rite Aid at corner of Michigan and Pennsylvania) as UM Health-Sparrow opens new pharmacy to address need in downtown Lansing. This video shares highlights of the remarks shared by dignitaries that day before the ribbon cutting ceremony. Downtown Lansing has been a pharmacy desert since the closing of a Rite Aid. Now, UM Health-Sparrow is addressing that issue by announcing the opening of a pharmacy/Urgent Care/Occupational Health Services in the renovated and rejuvenated old Rite Aid. It's part of our commitment to the community to provide access to care and protect everyone's health.

Sparrow automates employee leave management—a compliance nightmare that consumes thousands of HR hours annually at companies with distributed workforces. With $64 million in total funding through their recent Series B, Sparrow has achieved 14x revenue growth between their Series A and Series B by solving what became an "insurmountable problem" as states, counties, and cities each passed conflicting paid leave regulations over the past decade. In this episode of BUILDERS, Deborah Hanus shares how she scaled from $1.2 million in her first year while running everything part-time by discovering that the path to enterprise adoption wasn't solving employee frustration—it was quantifying the hidden costs of compliance risk, payroll errors, and retention that director-level HR leaders were desperately trying to contain. Topics Discussed: The regulatory explosion that made leave management unsolvable in-house: overlapping federal, state, county, and city requirements across distributed teams How Sparrow pivoted from a $50-per-leave consumer product to enterprise software after discovering director-level buyers saw a fundamentally different problem than employees Why Sparrow's biggest competitor is internal management rather than other vendors, and how this shaped their entire go-to-market strategy The 4-10x ROI framework: how preventing paperwork errors that cost customers $1 million+ justifies $100K platform investments Scaling from founder-led sales with zero sales background through systematic hiring processes—including reaching out to 100+ candidates for their first sales hire Customer qualification strategy: vetting prospects not just for current pain, but for alignment with the product roadmap 2-3 years forward   GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Map pain perception across org levels to find economic buyers: Employees experienced leave management as "taking me a lot of time"—roughly 20 hours of taxes-level complicated paperwork. Director-level HR leaders, CFOs, and employment lawyers saw something entirely different: retention problems from employees leaving after bad leave experiences, litigation risk from compliance gaps across jurisdictions, thousands spent on employment lawyers for each leave event, and payroll calculation errors when state programs cover partial wages. Deborah's initial consumer product hypothesis failed because employees would only pay TurboTax pricing (~$50), requiring massive volume. The enterprise motion succeeded because strategic buyers owned the full cost stack. Map how pain manifests at each organizational level, then build your ICP around whoever owns the aggregate business impact rather than the tactical workflow friction. Build ROI models around error prevention, not efficiency gains: Sparrow doesn't sell time savings—they sell payroll accuracy. Their typical customer sees 4-10x financial ROI because the platform prevents mistakes that cost significantly more than the subscription. When paperwork is filed incorrectly, employees miss 60-70% of pay for 12-20 weeks, and with 70% of Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck, employers often make up the difference to prevent attrition. A $100K Sparrow investment typically saves $1M+ in payroll corrections alone, before counting the thousands in hours HR spends with employment lawyers for each leave event. Calculate the true cost of the status quo—including error correction, compliance penalties, and retention impact—not just the labor hours your product eliminates. Design qualification frameworks for roadmap fit, not just current pain: Deborah emphasizes that "everyone has this problem, but not everyone is going to be a fit for the product today and where it's going to be two years from now." Sparrow deliberately vets whether prospects will be excited about their product evolution 3-4 years forward, not just whether they have leave management pain today. This drives retention and customer advocacy as capabilities expand. Build qualification criteria that assess prospect-product alignment across the entire customer lifecycle—including future module adoption, integration depth, and use case expansion—rather than optimizing only for closing deals on current functionality. Treat hiring as systematic sourcing, not urgent gap-filling: Despite being in "back-to-back calls all day" unable to "send order forms fast enough," Deborah took time to reach out to approximately 100 candidates to make their first sales hire. She emphasizes defining what each role should accomplish 5-10 years out, then building sourcing strategies to achieve 50% confidence in that long-term outcome. This intentional approach—coupled with her value of "scaling intentionally"—enabled efficient growth without typical scaling chaos. Resist the startup default of "just hire someone fast." Instead, invest upfront in role definition (including the 5-year trajectory), source systematically rather than opportunistically, and accept lower short-term velocity for higher long-term scaling efficiency. Recognize emotional volatility as statistical artifact, not signal: Deborah reframes the classic startup "highs and lows" through a data science lens: with sparse early data, founders overfit to individual signals. One person saying "your product is stupid" triggers existential doubt; one saying "everyone should use it" creates irrational exuberance. As companies scale and data accumulates, the noise averages out—70% neutral-to-good outcomes with 30% fires becomes manageable rather than anxiety-inducing. She found scaling "much easier than that first year" because "you can sort of plot out your trend line and you can see where you're going." Build systems to accumulate data points faster (more customer conversations, more experiments, more leading indicators), recognize that early-stage emotional swings reflect sample size rather than reality, and make decisions based on trend lines rather than individual data points. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

From an early age, urban ornithologist Murry Burgess loved to draw and tell stories – and that passion stayed with her as her love for birds grew as well. The joy Murry found in both art and science inspired her to write the children's book Sparrow Loves Birds. The story follows the adventures of a curious 5-year-old girl named Sparrow as she meets her neighborhood birds. The book includes a field guide so that birders of all ages can learn to identify birds, too.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Birder and author Christian Cooper says learning to identify bird calls feels like unlocking a sixth sense. Birding by ear is a skill that takes time to develop, but you'll start to recognize patterns with practice. Christian says mnemonics are a great way to remember bird calls. Some birds have well-known mnemonics, like the “Oh sweet Canada Canada Canada” of the White-throated Sparrow.

Struggling with costs in your healthcare organization? Reach out to Michael.  Click Here for more info In this insightful conversation, Michael D. Levitt, Founder and Chief Burnout Officer of the Breakfast Leadership Network, sits down with Cary Sparrow, founder of Wagescape, to explore the turbulent evolution of the modern labor market. Adapting to a Rapidly Changing Workforce Cary reflects on the past decade of transformation in employment trends, driven by the pandemic, artificial intelligence, and wage inflation. He compares leading through these changes to navigating whitewater rapids — requiring adaptability, clear focus, and quick course corrections. Over ten years, Wagescape has grown by bringing transparency and real-time insight to the labor market, helping businesses make smarter workforce decisions. AI's Uncertain Future Path Michael and Cary dive into the unpredictable trajectory of artificial intelligence, drawing parallels to the early dot-com era. With two AI patents under his belt, Cary shares that while AI's potential is enormous, not all current initiatives will endure. Both agree that innovation often comes from unexpected sources — not just the big tech players dominating the headlines. Implementation and Strategic Caution Cary shares a story about a promising AI project that quickly became obsolete due to rapid advancements. Together, he and Michael discuss the importance of balancing early adoption with strategic caution, particularly in fields like hiring and finance, where AI's cost-saving appeal must be weighed against the need for accuracy and accountability. AI Meets Healthcare and Employment Drawing on his background in healthcare leadership, Michael recalls working with an ethics officer who helped make tough medical decisions using data-driven insights. He compares this to how AI could analyze healthcare and employment statistics while maintaining human oversight. He suggests that large language models could forecast labor trends over the next 6 to 12 months — a potential game-changer for workforce planning. The Future of Hiring and Education Cary and Michael examine the increasing demand for data-informed hiring, where AI serves as a predictive enhancement rather than a replacement. They discuss how universities must evolve their curricula to align with shifting market skills, and how business leaders often struggle to trust data that challenges traditional gut instincts. Evolving Data Resistance Cary highlights a cultural shift: clients are no longer rejecting data outright but are instead asking smarter questions about its sources and implications. This evolution reflects a growing collaboration between data providers and decision-makers — a key step toward data literacy and trust. As industries accelerate toward an AI-integrated future, this episode offers grounded, real-world insight into how leaders can adapt, stay curious, and lead through uncertainty.   About WageScape (formerly Greenwich.HR) At WageScape, we believe leadership begins with clarity—and clarity comes from having the right data at your fingertips.

The internet continues its chaotic march, with a TikTok deal potentially happening (for real this time, maybe), while LimeWire bought the Fyre Fest brand, because more viruses are always a great idea. Corporate America is going full AI-bro with massive layoffs at Fiverr, xAI, and Google, while OpenAI reveals people are using ChatGPT for pretty much everything but coding. Age verification is coming to apps and online services in California and New York, because apparently, teenagers need protection (after the fact). Elsewhere, nudists have declared war on SpaceX over rocket launches, and fans are ditching Elon since he started being so insufferable; even a Tesla engineer quit and roasted him spectacularly, all while NHTSA investigates Tesla's fire-prone door handles.In the world of entertainment, we're catching up on Wednesday and Foundation S3 (just pretend the books never existed, your brain will be rewired!), and Upload wrapped up its truncated season nicely. The 2003 Freaky Friday was a fun, nostalgic trip through early 2000s L.A., reminding us of all the cool places that are now just... gone. Alien: Earth and Gen V S2 are on our watchlist, and we'll see if Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 lives up to its promise. The Witcher S4, featuring Liam Hemsworth as Geralt (aka the Dick Switch), drops in October, with Laurence Fishburne making it somewhat palatable. The Lilith Fair documentary is peak 90s, and Meta's latest dystopian product was so bad it made the Cybertruck demo look good. Apple's new AI features are cool, but the iOS 26 "liquid glass" update and its awful crossfade feature are less so; also, meditation apparently has a dark side, but binaural beats might just make you rave. Publishers Clearing House's bankruptcy means "forever" winners won't get paid (always take the lump sum!); international sellers are charging absurd shipping to avoid American buyers; and the deepfake Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kills Darth Maul (Live Action) is surprisingly good.Steve Martin's Born Standing Up is still great life advice, and the Carrot App the Musical is, against all odds, amazing. Robert Redford has sadly passed, a legend who gave us Sneakers, and L.A.'s own Clayton Kershaw is retiring at the end of the season, a true one-team legend who deserves all the accolades.Sponsors:MasterClass - Right now, our listeners get an additional 15% off any annual membership at MASTERCLASS.com/GRUMPYOLDGEEKS.
