In this episode of Capital for Good we speak with Bob Steel, partner and vice chairman of Perella Weinberg Partners, whose career has spanned the pinnacles of business, government and nonprofit leadership. Following nearly three decades at Goldman Sachs, Steel held senior roles at the US Treasury, as Under Secretary for Domestic Finance under President George W. Bush, and in New York City government as Deputy Mayor for Economic Development under Mike Bloomberg; was CEO of Wachovia Corporation and Perella Weinberg; and along the way has served on numerous boards, corporate and civic, including at major universities like Duke, important ideas and policy organizations like the Aspen Institute, and several of New York City's anchor institutions. We begin with some of the formative individuals and institutions that would shape Steel's trajectory: his parents, who set an example of service to their North Carolina community; the attention of Dr. Joel Fleishman, a Duke Professor who challenged Steel to become a more engaged student; and the opportunity to join Goldman Sachs in 1976 when John Whitehead and John Weinberg took over the leadership of the firm. "I got on the bus at the right time," Steel says. Steel describes what it was like to work at Goldman Sachs in a period of extraordinary growth and globalization. Over close to three decades, he built several businesses across the US and Europe — "multiple careers in one institution" — and ultimately served as the firm's vice chairman and member of its management committee. "The moral of the story," he observes, "is that well-led firms that are growing create opportunities that are pretty special." In 2006, at the urging of fellow Goldman Sachs partner — and recently confirmed US Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson — Steel went to Treasury to serve as Under Secretary for Domestic Finance. Within a year, the country was in the throes of the financial crisis, and with the support of Paulson and Fed Chair Ben Bernanke, Steel and his colleagues labored to prevent the worst impacts of the crisis on the American people, and to begin to steer the economy to more stable ground. After Treasury, Steel returned to the private sector as CEO of Wachovia, where he led the bank's sale to Wells Fargo. Soon after Mike Bloomberg recruited him to serve as Deputy Mayor for Economic Development, where he would oversee the administration's five borough economic development strategy and job creation efforts across more than a dozen city agencies: tens of thousands of employees and billions of dollars in annual operating budgets. We discuss a number of the major initiatives that Steel and the Bloomberg team undertook, among them the creation of the Cornell Technion campus, today a center of applied science in the city and region. We also discuss Mayor Bloomberg's vision for long-term investments, and the latitude given to an exceptional and collegial cohort of talented commissioners. "It might be my best job ever, I learned so much," Steel says. Through these experiences, Steel has come to understand the distinct but complementary roles of the private, public, and nonprofit sectors, and their respective and mutually supportive "vectors of leverage." "You can't have successful business without government," he believes, "and you can't have good government without successful businesses. And then you add NGOs that provide exceptional seasoning and consciousness that is beneficial." Although no longer at city hall, Steel remains deeply involved in the life of the city, with board roles at Lincoln Center, Rockefeller University, the Hospital for Special Surgery, the Economic Club of New York, the Partnership for New York City, The Morgan Library, and the New York Climate Exchange. We touch on New York's recovery from the pandemic; why some of today's challenges, including affordability, are a function of the city's success (i.e., not enough housing for all the people who want to be in New York); the competition from smaller cities across the country as attractive places to live and work; and the opportunity and imperative to make long-term investments in the city's future: schools, infrastructure, arts, parks, among them.  We conclude where the conversation began: "I'm so appreciative of the organizations and people that helped me grow," Steel says. "If you did a balance of trade, I've gained so much more than I gave that I feel incredibly fortunate."   Mentioned in this episode: Cornell Tech

Joints play a critical role in how we move, stay active, and maintain independence—but joint pain and arthritis can make everyday activities challenging. In this episode of Health Matters, host Courtney Allison speaks with Dr. Nana Sarpong, an orthopedic surgeon at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia, about how joints function and what happens when cartilage wears down. Dr. Sarpong explains the difference between mechanical osteoarthritis and inflammatory forms of arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis, including how each impacts joint movement, pain, and stiffness. The conversation covers conservative treatment strategies such as anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, bracing, and injections—along with when surgery becomes the right option. Dr. Sarpong also explains how modern joint replacement surgery works, how long implants now last, and what recovery looks like. Dr. Sarpong debunks common myths, including whether cracking your knuckles is harmful, if weather really affects joint pain, and the idea that people with arthritis should avoid movement. His key message: motion really is lotion—and staying active is essential for protecting your joints and preserving long-term mobility.   Chapters 00:00 – What Are Joints and How Do They Work? An overview of joint anatomy, function, and why joints are essential to movement 04:30 – Arthritis and Joint Conditions The difference between osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis, causes of joint pain and stiffness 08:45 – Treating Joint Pain and Arthritis Conservative care, physical therapy, injections, and when surgery becomes the right option 12:00 – Protecting Your Joints and Busting Myths Exercise, weight management, common misconceptions, and the importance of staying active   Key Topics Covered How joints function in the body Osteoarthritis vs. rheumatoid and inflammatory arthritis Causes of joint pain, stiffness, and cartilage loss Physical therapy and non-surgical treatments Joint replacement surgery and recovery Exercise recommendations for joint health Weight loss and joint load reduction Myths about cracking joints and weather-related pain Takeaway Message Joint pain doesn't mean you should stop moving. Staying active, strengthening the muscles around your joints, and managing weight can help protect joint function and slow arthritis progression. When conservative treatments stop working, modern joint replacement surgery offers safe, durable solutions that can restore mobility and independence for decades.   Doctor Bio Nana Sarpong, MD, MBA, is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip and knee reconstruction.

You don’t need expensive supplements, biohacks, or protocols to be healthy. Dr. Jordan Metzl—sports medicine physician at the Hospital for Special Surgery—has spent decades treating everyone from everyday people to elite athletes. His biggest takeaway? The things that actually work are simple—and free. In this episode, we break down: Why modern wellness is overcomplicated (and often wrong) The simple habits that actually drive long-term health Why motivation isn’t the problem—and what is How movement acts as the most powerful form of preventive medicine The biggest mistakes people make when trying to “get healthy” If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough—or not doing the right things—this episode is a reset.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Healthcare keeps getting more expensive, less accessible, and harder to navigate, and the part that drives you crazy is that it also feels familiar. We sit down with Lou Shapiro, former CEO of Hospital for Special Surgery, to talk candidly about what changes and what never changes in the U.S. healthcare system after four decades inside hospitals, consulting, and executive leadership. If you've ever wondered whether healthcare is really a commodity, why “cheaper” care can cost more in the long run, or why consolidation keeps happening even when it doesn't fix the fundamentals, this conversation goes straight at it.We dig into what makes quality actually vary in musculoskeletal care, orthopedics, and complex clinical services, and why outcomes depend on who treats you and how the organization is built to support great teams. Lou shares the leadership principles he'd give a rising hospital operations leader: keep learning, leave the office, build teamwork over individual performance, and make contributions that still show up years after you're gone. We also get into affordability and why the system is structured to produce the results it produces, which helps explain why so many “value-based care” nudges feel small compared to the problem.Then we shift to the “shoves” that might matter, especially redesigned primary care. We explore direct primary care models for self-insured employers, how multidisciplinary teams can reduce friction, and why primary care access may be the foundation for better cost control and better patient experience. Finally, Lou opens up about stepping away from the CEO seat, the dark stretch he didn't expect, and his “We Me Work” framework for building a next chapter that fits real life.If this sparked something for you, subscribe, share the episode with a colleague, and leave a review.

Join Flipping 50 Menopause Fitness Specialist® to become a coach! Flipping 50 Women's Retreats are each designed to challenge and stretch you. We challenge your fitness, your thoughts about aging, and menopause. We educate about hormones through exercise, nutrition and sleep choices.  We always try to find motivation to move. Truth is if we don't fix this issue, we're not going to fix sarcopenia, obesity, and osteoporosis or Alzheimer's.  This conversation dives into the science of motivation, the difference between exercise vs. daily movement, and why healthy longevity (healthspan) matters more than simply living longer. You'll also hear how to build sustainable habits, avoid burnout, and find movement you actually enjoy—because consistency is the real goal. Movement—not just exercise—is the most powerful “medicine” for longevity. Despite decades of evidence, most people still struggle to stay active—not because they lack knowledge, but because they lack motivation to move. My Guest: Jordan D. Metzl, MD is an internationally recognized sports medicine physician, researcher, bestselling author, and fitness instructor who practices at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, the world's premier orthopedic hospital.  Dr. Metzl is a 40-time marathoner and 15-time Ironman finisher. He created the Ironstrength Workout, a functional fitness program for improved performance and injury prevention that has been performed by more than 1 million people. An elite athlete himself, he practices what he preaches.  Questions We Answer in This Episode: You've recently written a new book. You're published in AARP, so let's start with your interest in getting the world to move Why did you write PUSH and how does it reflect the different parts of your career? Why did you choose the title PUSH and why is this concept connected to healthy longevity? Why aren't people comfortable pushing themselves? Can we extend our lifespan?

Look, we wonks, meaning you and me, you're listening to this, so I am on to you. But we wonks in the Relentless Tribe, we move like lightning on Relentless Health Value. We tend to cover lots of ground pretty fast. So, sometimes I like to, with great intention, sum up what's been said—really lock into the big revelations, the big points made, the through lines. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. I like to do this so that points stick in my mind and I remember them and can build on them later. I am thinking you like this, too, because actually our through line shows in the past have been pretty popular. But this, today, is not your average through line show. I am trying something new and actually playing clips of earlier episodes so that you can recall what a guest may have said exactly and specifically and also really see the ways that episodes may interlock. So, to that end, let me just get to it and tell you the four core concepts to buy or deliver the highest-value healthcare that we will cover today. Core Concept 1: Buy healthcare. And by the way, health insurance is not healthcare. Jonathan Baran talks about that, and then Cynthia Fisher, Mark Newman, and Justin Leader cover the why, which is billions of dollars. Core Concept 2: When buying said healthcare, avoid the myth of less expensive healthcare. What is the myth of less expensive healthcare? Well, there's a lot of them, actually. One myth is that low price means low quality. Wrong. Most of the time there is actually no correlation between price and quality, but sometimes less expensive is higher quality. Also, low quality can be the most expensive care irrespective of the cost. Also, the same exact healthcare service or product can cost wildly different prices. Just keep that in mind. You'll hear Elizabeth Mitchell; Sam Flanders, MD; Shane Cerone; Jerry DiMaso; Ivana Krajcinovic, PhD, talk about this, this whole idea of when buying healthcare, avoid the myth of less expensive healthcare. Core Concept 3: So, of course, at this point, direct contracting enters the building. Because direct contracting between ultimate buyers of healthcare (meaning plan sponsors like self-insured employers etc.) and the actual purveyors of healthcare (meaning clinicians) is a fairly obvious strategy if we're going to try to get high quality at a fair price. I mean, get the beginning and the end of the road together. When you do that, it not only can spotlight—and thereby help eliminate—who might be low value that's sitting in the middle of the road collecting tolls like a toll booth, but it also enables collaboration in other ways, really, between the ultimate purchasers and the ultimate deliverers of care. Because there can be conversations about integration. There can be goals and then work out issues together, right? Collaboration is the next breakthrough innovation. So, that's our Core Concept 3: Consider direct contracting or even just, you know, as a start, go talk to, if you're a self-insured employer or you're a purveyor of care, go just find somebody to have a conversation with. Go talk to each other. Just have a chat. And I might include pharmacies, actually, in that mix. It's amazing what can happen, actually, when those buying care and selling care sit in the same room. In this number three core concept, consider direct contracting, we hear again from Ivana Krajcinovic but then also from Ryan Jacobs, Adam Stavisky, and then lastly, we have a quote from Ryan Wells. Core Concept 4: When direct contracting, or otherwise purchasing healthcare, buy the highest-value healthcare. How is that for an aspirational goal? But really, what do you want a direct contract for? What do you want your partners to be accountable to deliver? And what's rolled up into all of that? What is value? What is value, right? We go there, and when I say we, I mean we hear from Mick Connors, MD; Dr. Siva, otherwise known as Ahilan Sivaganesan, MD; and then we have Kenny Cole, MD, to bring us home. We finish up really at a very human level for why all of this matters. So, in summary, here's our four concepts. When you buy healthcare, buy healthcare. Focus on what you're actually getting for your money and how you are buying it. When you do that, direct contracting starts to make some sense. Just make sure the care that you are buying is truly high value. That's the whole shebang in a nutshell. One more thing before we kick into this. So, yeah, while I was quietly contemplating the vast universe of things gone wrong and right in the healthcare sector, Tom Nash, our producer extraordinaire, wandered in and asked me to try out his new Relentless Health Value Chatbot that he's been working on possibly 18 hours a day, including weekends ever since the incident with Michelle Bernabe and the AI futurist philanthropist, which you can hear all about in Inbetweenisode 46. But anyway, with Tom's Relentless Health Value Chatbot, you can ask a question and have it answered by me and/or one or more of the 500 guests we've had on Relentless Health Value so far. I am not sure if I am more concerned about my impending obsolescence or thrilled to report that this thing actually works. And I will admit I did use it with, I'm going to say, a light to medium touch to help out with the episode today. At the end of the show, if you are interested, I will tell you how to get access to said Relentless Health Value Bot. But right now, let's do this thing that we have set out to do.

If you've ever leaked when you laughed, jumped, or sneezed–or felt like your core disappeared after pregnancy, injury, or into perimenopause–you're not alone. This week, fitness specialist Leah Keller joins us to unpack deep core dysfunction: what causes it, and why healing it changes far more than just your abs. Leah's breakthrough came when she realized she could help women actually heal the separation between their abdominal muscles–known as diastasis recti–even years after giving birth. Clients who came for core work started reporting that they'd stopped leaking, that sex felt better, that back pain eased, and that their bodies finally felt like their own again– issues they never mentioned at the start. She explains exactly how fixing the deep core resolves problems women didn't even know were connected. We'll give detailed descriptions of the exercises. You can also watch this one on YouTube to see the exercise demonstrations as well as the anatomical illustrations referenced in this episode, showing the difference between a healthy midline and one with significant diastasis recti separation.Leah Keller is a certified personal trainer specializing in core and pelvic floor health, and co-founder of Every Mother (formerly The Dia Method).

This week I'm reading from Bruce Rapuano's book 'Dominion Lost: A Scientist's Own Alien Encounters'.This bombshell nonfiction book, recently discussed by the author with George Knapp on Coast to Coast AM, is the only first-person account to date of UFO alien abductions authored by a mainstream American scientist. The author, who has multiple degrees in neuroscience, goes on the record regarding his incredible and fascinating experiences with UFO close encounters, including a very close encounter during which he was abducted from a group of eight other witnesses, interactions with alien beings and an unexplained nasal implant of specific structure all of which were recalled without regressive hypnosis. Also riveting are the author's experiences with short humanoid beings that are described in captivating detail to reveal all the ways that aliens control human behavior during the abduction process.Even more amazing is the fact that this book is the first to explain : how the implants that are frequently reported by abductees work to analyze and influence the activity of the human brain. Exactly how the “grey aliens” were genetically reengineered from our early hominin ancestors. Precisely how the UFO propulsion system creates gravitational wave energy.At the same time, relying on his professional background, insight from his personal abduction experiences and numerous cited scientific articles from peer-reviewed journals, the author demonstrates that the ultrasophisticated technical capabilities exhibited by the alien visitors to our planet are more than plausible. They represent a logical extrapolation of current human theoretical and applied science.Moreover, the powerful evidence of such technology which has existed for more than 60 years, especially with respect to incredibly advanced propulsion systems for interstellar space travel and implanted devices that are likely instruments of mind control, proves that the aliens are here. Potentially breakthrough scientific innovations underlying these highly advanced alien capabilities are revealed and clearly explained, making the book a de facto whistleblower report on the subject of UFO's and alien abduction. More importantly, this book is a wake-up call to our species to finally accept the reality that we are now sharing our world with technologically superior alien beings. This new reality must be addressed immediately.BioBruce Rapuano a B.A. degree from the University of Pennsylvania where he majored in Neurobiology and minored in Psychology, a Ph.D. in Neuropharmacology from the University of Connecticut and a J.D. from New York Law School. Dr. Rapuano has conducted independent biomedical research as a cell biologist at internationally recognized medical institutions including the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and the Hospital for Special Surgery, both located in New York City. He has authored or coauthored thirty scientific articles in peer-reviewed medical journals. He has published articles on topics such as the role of membrane phospholipids in nerve function, the skeletal effects of cancer metastases, metabolic bone diseases and the coordinate surface electrical and biological properties of titanium alloy implant materials.

Description: Listen as NPF Medical Board Members, dermatologist Dr. Robert Kalb and rheumatologist Dr. Sergio Schwartzman discuss the connections between psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, from cytokines to triggers, current and future treatments.   Join moderator Alan Simmons as he gains insights on what connects psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis with leading experts in psoriatic disease and NPF Medical Board members, dermatologist Dr. Robert Kalb with Buffalo Medical Group Dermatology, and rheumatologist Dr. Sergio Schwartzman from Schwartzman Rheumatology, as they discuss the known drivers of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, common triggers, benefits of targeted treatments, remission of disease, and upcoming treatment trends. The intent of this episode is to identify potential connections between psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, and how targeted treatments have changed the outlook for management of psoriatic disease. This episode is sponsored by Novartis. Timestamps: (0:41) Intro to Psoriasis Uncovered and guest welcome dermatologist Dr. Robert Kalb and rheumatologist Dr. Sergio Schwartzman who are both involved in clinical care and research of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.  (1:15) Current known pro-inflammatory cytokines and cells found in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.   (5:33) Types of psoriasis that may lead to a higher risk of developing psoriatic arthritis. (9:33) Common triggers for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis that could cause flares of the disease. (12:59) Key factors that are considered when choosing a treatment plan for any individual with psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis. (18:04) What treatment remission means for psoriasis. (19:36) Use of minimal disease activity (MDA) in psoriatic arthritis and what it means. (22:14) How a better understanding of the disease has led to more effective treatment choices and what choices are used by Dr. Kalb and Dr. Schwartzman for the management of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. (28:39) New developments in treatment and research in psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis. (36:01) Given treatment advancements it's a wonderful time to treat psoriatic disease. 3 Key Takeaways: ·       Cytokines are chemicals in the body that moderate various processes. In psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis,  an unknown trigger stimulates some cells to overproduce pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha, IL-17 or IL-23 leading to the development of skin and joint disease.  ·       Treating psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis helps move the body towards normalizing the over reactive immune system especially with more targeted treatments that safely and effectively block specific cytokines without affecting other organ systems.  ·       Given advancements in targeted treatments the goal is to reach and maintain remission of psoriatic disease.

In this episode of Westchester Talk Radio, host Joan Franzino recaps the Hospital for Special Surgery's Day of Wellness, held on Monday, May 19, 2025, at the Scarsdale Golf Club in Hartsdale, NY. It was an outstanding day filled with healthy competition, interactive wellness workshops, delicious food, and a strong sense of community. Joan sat down with Nick Wirth, Assistant VP of Strategy and Business Operations, to discuss the event's goals, the growing emphasis on wellness in healthcare and business, and how HSS is leading the way in promoting healthier lifestyles through meaningful engagement and innovation. 

In this episode of the Wealth Planning for the Modern Physician podcast, host David Mandell sits down with two highly respected medical leaders—Dr. Mark Figgie, Chief Emeritus of the Surgical Arthritis Service at the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), and Dr. Joel Press, Physiatrist-in-Chief at HSS—to explore their personal and professional journeys in medicine. Dr. Press shares how his diverse early experiences led him to physiatry, while Dr. Figgie recounts his balance between science, business, and a lifelong pursuit of education, including earning an MBA during his fellowship. The conversation shifts into a discussion of mentorship at the Hospital for Special Surgery, where both physicians have played key roles in developing a cross-disciplinary mentorship model to support younger doctors. Their focus extends beyond clinical guidance to include career development, personal financial planning, and wellness—areas often overlooked in traditional medical training. This approach fosters institutional collaboration and a stronger culture at HSS. Finally, the episode dives into physicians' relationships with industry. Dr. Figgie offers candid advice on contracts, intellectual property rights, and ethical considerations when working with device manufacturers. He emphasizes the importance of legal review and staying true to what benefits patients. Dr. Press adds insight into personal financial trust, suggesting that doctors build a "board of directors" for trusted guidance. The episode closes with a preview of future initiatives aimed at supporting physicians earlier in their careers through financial education and mentorship. Key Insights: Dr. Press discovered physiatry through a unique summer program, showing the value of early exposure to diverse specialties. Dr. Figgie pursued an MBA during fellowship, believing in the power of financial literacy for physicians. Mentorship at HSS now includes financial, administrative, and personal development components—not just clinical. A cross-specialty mentorship program allows different departments (e.g., orthopedics and radiology) to learn from one another. Many young physicians lack basic financial planning tools, leading to under-preparedness later in their careers. HSS has created a repository of recorded educational sessions covering mortgages, insurance, investing, and more. Dr. Figgie cautions against blindly signing industry contracts without legal review, especially when IP is involved. Relationships with medical device companies often include consulting, design input, or teaching—but require transparency. Dr. Press emphasizes the importance of building a trusted "personal board of directors" to help with life and career decisions. Future initiatives at HSS may include subsidized financial checkups for new physicians to kickstart long-term planning.
