Pre-order Drawing is Important — http://tomfroese.com/bookIn this episode, I take on the "myth of artistic looseness." We often envy the "spontaneous" energy of artists like Quentin Blake, but the truth is that looking effortless requires a tone of effort. I dive into why your final illustrations feel "stiff" compared to your sketches and how to bridge that gap through what I call supervised spontaneity and confidence from competence. IN THIS EPISODE • Three observations about artistic looseness • How to build "chaos" into a repeatable process.  • The Take-Two-ness of Glenn Gould: Why the best work happens in the studio, not live.  • Why even pros like Sir Quentin Blake struggle with achieving looseness. • The Exercise: A three-stage drawing challenge to help you unlock creative freedom in your drawings.EPISODE LINKS • Quentin Blake shares about his artistic neurosis in "How I draw" — https://quentinblake.com/about-drawing/how-i-draw • Glenn Gould Poster (Tom Froese, for Polaris Prize) — https://www.tomfroese.com/work/polaris-music-prize-glenn-gould • Glenn Gould's "Take-Two-Ness" — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BachTheGoldberg_Variations_(Glenn_Gould_album)HOW TO SUPPORTYou can support Thoughts on Illustration by: • Sharing this episode with a friend • Leaving a comment • Leaving a rating or review on Apple Podcasts • Following the show / subscribing to this channel • Becoming a paid supporter here or on Patreon — ⁠https://patreon.com/tomfroese⁠FIND ME ELSEWHERE • Website — https://www.tomfroese.com • Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/mrtomfroese • Daily Drawings — https://www.instagram.com/drawingisimportantCREDITSMusic and cues by Mark Allan Falk — https://linktr.ee/semiathleticDRAWING IS IMPORTANT — NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDERMy new book, Drawing Is Important, is your guide to making drawing a meaningful daily habit.

Jacks joins us this week to continue our Season 13 viewing of the hit Hallmark Channel show, When Calls the Heart. ABOUT: WHEN CALLS THE SEASON (SEASON 13 EPISODE 8) Feeling the loss of her playhouse, Rosemary directs a silent film and gets the whole community involved. Lucas finds himself hesitant to open his heart again. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR: WHEN CALLS THE SEASON (SEASON 13 EPISODE 8) February 22, 2026 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF: WHEN CALLS THE SEASON (SEASON 13 EPISODE 8) Erin Krakow as Elizabeth Thornton Kevin McGarry as Nathan Grant Chris McNally as Lucas Bouchard BRAN'S WHEN CALLS THE SEASON (SEASON 13 EPISODE 8) SYNOPSIS Rosemary sees a poster for The Mask of Zorro and hears Lucas talk about how the moving pictures are the next hot thing. She decides in that moment, she's going to make a movie! She tells Lee about her plans and he's all about it. She asks Elizabeth to write the script. She brings some ideas to Rosemary (and Opal, obviously) but they're hard to please. She ends up writing a script about a mountie falling in love with a school teacher. She brings the idea to Rosemary and she loves it as long as Elizabeth and Nathan play the lead roles. Nathan isn't thrilled but doesn't want anyone else kissing Elizabeth. Now for the serious stuff - Nathan, Bill, and Georgie are on the case. They have a new working theory - if the case settles as arson, National Insurance is obligated to pay out much less than if it were corporate negligence. They think that the insurance company and the electric company are working together. To help prove the case, Georgie brings up the fact that the electric company's map has no signature from the map maker, but recognizes the style of the compass on the map that Christopher had. The man who made the map is named Clement Scoggins. They wanna try to get info from him, so she invites him to town to "pitch a new map" to him and then start to grill him on the work he's done with the electric company. He runs out. Meanwhile, it's film making time. Nathan and Elizabeth are so bad that Rosemary fires them. She hires Fernando and Faith and the chemistry is off the charts. Georgie and Bill listen in on the phone and wait for ol' Scoggins to call the electric company, which he does and tells them that they're in trouble. Edie tries to hang out with Lucas but he just can't do it. He's too afraid of getting hurt again. So Edie ends up leaving town. The episode ends with Nathan telling Elizabeth that he feels like a failure for not being able to finish this fire case and her comforting him....cuz they have real chemistry.

Mark actually went to the BAFTAs this year IRL—and this week's Take kicks off with a rundown of the winners and all the big moments of the ceremony, including of course some reflections on its controversy from Mark and Simon and from your correspondence. In celebration of Pixar's 40th anniversary, Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter is our special guest this week. As the creative force behind some of Pixar's most beloved films—including Up, Monsters Inc. and Inside Out, he joins Simon and Mark to celebrate the studio's milestone birthday, and to look ahead to the release of their brand-new adventure, Hoppers. Featuring reflections on four decades of storytelling, a peek behind the animation curtain, and the secrets to making grown adults crumple into sobbing wrecks (in a good way). Mark's Hoppers review is still to come next week—but first it's another packed show with the Good Doctors' verdicts on all the biggest big screen releases of this week. First up, the latest instalment in a horror institution, Scream 7, where the body count rises and we're once again promised that this really is the last one of these films (bet it isn't though). Remember what Mark thought of the last one? Well, you're in for a ranty treat... Then there's EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert—so anyone who knows how Mark feels about Elvis will know we're in for a ravey treat. Plus The Testament of Ann Lee, a Shaker musical exploring faith, fervour, and ecstatic song starring Amanda Seyfried. You can hear her and director Mona Fastvold on last week's show too. Finally, Sirât—the nerve-jangling desert-set tale from Oliver Laxe that is blowing minds left right and centre. Mark throws his hat into the ring. Plus all the usual delights of the Take: the box office top 10, the unpredictable and unbridled joy of the Laughter Lift, and your always-excellent correspondence. Thanks for listening!

Back in July 2022 when the world was opening up again Brett, Phil and Martin were all in Melbourne and met up for a chat. The topic was 'Are we experts', however due to incompetence (Martin) the recording was terrible and his rather poor editing skills (learnt entirely by watching YouTube videos from Mike Russell) didn't help much. Now however by using Adobe AI voice enhancement it has been possible to rescuscitate the recording, and we felt that it was worth a reissue.

This internal move, confirmed via regulatory filing on February 17, 2026, shifts approximately 11 million shares—previously making PIF Take-Two's second-largest shareholder—without any sale or exit from the company.This consolidation aligns with PIF's broader strategy, including a January 2026 announcement to transfer around $12 billion in gaming-related shares to Savvy, encompassing stakes in Nintendo, Bandai Namco, and expected positions in Koei Tecmo, NCSoft, Nexon, and Square Enix. Savvy Games Group emerges as the Kingdom's central vehicle for global gaming investments.The timing is notable ahead of Grand Theft Auto VI's 2026 release, with Take-Two's portfolio featuring GTA, Red Dead Redemption, NBA 2K, Borderlands, and Zynga's mobile titles driving market focus.Analytic Dreamz also covers PIF's separate $55 billion agreement (with partners) to acquire Electronic Arts, expected to close later in 2026, further deepening Saudi exposure to AAA publishing, U.S. gaming, and international publishers.This restructuring centralizes holdings under Savvy, maintaining strong Saudi capital ties to major franchises and the industry's biggest upcoming launch.

In today's Daily Fix:Incoming Xbox CEO Asha Sharma was active on social media following last week's bombshell announcement that she would be replacing Phil Spencer. She listed a few gaming bona fides such as her three favorites being Halo, Valheim, and GoldenEye. When pressed if her accounts were being run by artificial intelligence (she was head of Microsoft's CoreAI before joining Xbox), she responded with 'Beep Boop Beep Boop.' In other news, movie producer Roy Lee confirmed that the BioShock movie is still happening, and it will be the next project for director Francis Lawrence once he's done with the next Hunger Games movie. Interestingly, Lee revealed that publisher Take-Two wants the movie's release to coincide with the next BioShock game. And finally, take a peek at the five immersive worlds of the all-new Universal Epic Universe, and one of its featured attractions – Stardust Racers, all at Universal Orlando Resort.Presented by Universal Orlando Resort.

The Non-Market Reality of Healthcare Carrier Marketplaces with Dr. Jacob Asher. In this episode of Relentlessly Seeking Value, host Stacey Richter introduces the 'No Market' series focused on the healthcare sector's lack of competitive market dynamics, which affects cost and quality.  The episode features a conversation with Dr. Jacob Asher, who has extensive experience as a Chief Medical Officer at major healthcare plans. They discuss the stagnant nature of commercial carrier marketplaces, particularly in California, and the various factors contributing to this stasis, including employer inertia, the influence of employee benefit consultants, and the strategic focus of carriers on Medicare Advantage over commercial business.  They also explore how carriers' dependence on existing provider networks and contractual negotiations based on member volumes contribute to a lack of meaningful competition. The episode highlights the challenges faced by plans attempting to innovate or differentiate on quality and the systemic issues that perpetuate the current equilibrium. === LINKS ===

She joins Simon alongside writer-director Mona Fastvold to talk about The Testament of Ann Lee, in which Seyfried stars as the titular leader of the Shakers. You might not have heard of her and the 18th century radical religious sect she founded—and we promise you've definitely never seen a musical about her. Seyfried talks about her struggle to crack a Manchester accent for the role, never mind all that ecstatic song and dance—and we hear from Fastvold about he old-school filmmaking techniques that helped her and co-writer husband Brady Corbet bring this unique story to the screen on shoestring budget. Mark will review The Testament of Ann Lee next week, but we've got four more movie reviews for you in the meantime—it's a packed show! First, The Secret Agent, where paranoia and deception collide as an ex-academic gets caught up in South American political turmoil. Then there's If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, a darkly comic tale of maternal burnout pushed to surreal extremes. We also have Wasteman—a gritty prison drama starring Rye Lane's David Jonsson.

I removed last week's episode because I made too many errors in talking about red leads and black leads on e-stim devices.   This episode covers the difference between Direct Current and Alternating Current, the advantages of each and the safety reasons for Electric Stimulation Acupuncture devices to be AC Biphasic. I talk about the differences between the Pointers, the ITO ES-130 and the Pantheon and a little about microcurrent.   Online Courses: https://richardhazel.podia.com

Bodices will be ripped in this week's Take, because we're talking Wuthering Heights. Emerald Fennell heads to the wild and windy moors for a cinematic storm of obsession, repression, lots of rain and, well… let's just say nobody's getting this worked up about the weather alone. Controversially starring Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff and Margot Robbie as Catherine, it's already dividing the critics, so where does Mark stand? The lascivious literary adaptation's director is our guest this week. She joins Simon to talk about the story's sensuality, toxicity, and how much glaring, breathing, and storm-lashed longing is too much glaring, breathing, and storm-lashed longing? She tells us how it felt to realise her teenage dream of bringing her vision for this classic to the screen, and why its tale of love, revenge, and emotional chaos still gets pulses racing. Plus reviews of three more of the week's cinematic offerings. There's Crime 101, Bart Layton's sleek thriller pairing Chris Hemsworth's precision jewel thief with Mark Ruffalo's relentlessly pursuing detective, and proving once again that nobody in LA should ever relax. Whistle brings supernatural horror and the world's worst extracurricular activity, as students discover that cursed ancient Aztec artefacts are best left well alone. And Little Amélie offers something altogether gentler — an animated adaptation of Amélie Nothomb's autobiographical story of childhood, identity, and wonder. All this, plus the box office top 10, a trip to the dizziest heights of humour in the Laughter Lift, and the customary digressions and delights of another top Take. 00:00:00 Show starts 00:08:53 Crime 101 review 00:18:33 Box Office Top 10 00:32:14 Emerald Fennell interview 00:46:27 Wuthering Heights review 01:00:06 Laughter Lift 01:03:11 Little Amelie review 01:08:49 Whistle review You can contact the show by emailing correspondence@kermodeandmayo.com or you can find us on social media, @KermodeandMayo Please take our survey and help shape the future of our show: https://www.kermodeandmayo.com/survey EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/take Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!

Esta semana tivemos a ligação de investidores da Take-Two e desta vez vieram informações valiosas para os jogadores. De acordo com o próprio Strauss Zelnick, CEO da empresa-mãe da Rockstar, o marketing de GTA 6 começa no verão americano e o jogo não será adiado. Também tivemos nesta semana um novo Horizon anunciado. Hunter Gatherings expande o universo de Aloy para um formato completamente diferente. Será que vai?O Flow Games News de hoje tem essas e muito mais pra você conferir. Vai perder essa?

The sell-off was triggered by fear, not facts. Google's Project Genie demo sparked a narrative that “AI games are here,” even though the tech currently produces short, silent video scenes with no logic, no scoring, no input handling, and no gameplay systems. Investors reacted as if game development had been solved overnight. The result was a disproportionate crash: Unity down nearly 40%, AppLovin down ~33%, Roblox down ~19%, and Take-Two also hit hard, while the NASDAQ itself fell only ~4.5%. That gap tells the real story.Meanwhile, Meta delivered numbers that completely contradict the panic. Meta apps now reach 3.6 billion daily active users, up 7% year-over-year, and total company revenue surpassed $200B, with $60B coming from Q4 alone. This highlights the widening gap between perception and performance. While markets panic about AI replacing games, the platforms that actually monetize attention at scale continue to grow quietly and relentlessly.On the publisher side, strategy divergence is becoming obvious. Stillfront cut revenue by 9% but significantly expanded margins, cleaned up its portfolio, and exited non-core narrative games. MTG Group posted record revenue and profits, fueled by Plarium and strong UA discipline, while also preparing an IPO for PlaySimple in India. In contrast, Embracer's mobile revenue collapsed 61% year-over-year in Q2, underscoring how exposed unfocused portfolios are in this market. Capital is flowing toward efficiency, not experimentation.---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

Follow The Trophy Room Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pstrophyroom Apple Podcast: https://apple.co/2PglU1a Discord: https://discord.gg/wPNp3kC Twitter: https://twitter.com/PSTrophyRoom ****** This week on Let's Square Up the News, we break down the biggest gaming industry headlines shaping the future of PlayStation, Xbox, and PC gaming. AMD leadership signals that Microsoft's next-gen Xbox is progressing toward a potential 2027 launch window, lining up with the typical console lifecycle as current hardware approaches its seventh year. Meanwhile, Valve's upcoming Steam hardware push is expected to begin shipping new devices powered by AMD chips, expanding the Steam gaming ecosystem. We also dive into Sony's controversial generative AI patent, which proposes personalized gaming news podcasts voiced by PlayStation characters using player data and LLM technology — raising questions about voice actor rights, AI ethics, and the future of gaming media. Plus, we unpack Take-Two's response to rumors about GTA 6 skipping physical release at launch, the latest confidence signals around the game's roadmap, and what it means for collectors and physical media fans. Also in the episode: • Obsidian confirms no plans for The Outer Worlds 3 after the sequel underperformed • Marathon ranked mode leak details and progression system explained • Overwatch drops the “2” and launches new heroes to revive the franchise • Helldivers 2 major update adds vehicles, weapons, and new war content • Stardew Valley 1.7 update adds new romance options • Fallout TV countdown disappointment explained • The Last of Us TV future and God of War casting updates If you care about next-gen consoles, gaming industry trends, PlayStation vs Xbox strategy, and major upcoming releases like GTA 6, this is your weekly gaming news hub.

AMD's talks shipments for its components of Valve's Steam Machine's imminent launch and the next Xbox is supposedly being prepared for a 2027 debut. Nintendo gives financial numbers with Switch 2 having sold over 17 million units since launch while the original Switch sells 155 million units. Take-Two apparently will begin GTA 6 marketing this summer. Lastly, an Obsidian interview reveals only Grounded 2 was successful among its three games they released last, closing the door on The Outer Worlds getting a third game. #amd #valve #xbox #nintendo #switch #gta6 #obsidian #allyoucangeek #aycg #podcast

It's the take you've all been waiting for... Mark's Melania review. Did he enjoy this, er, ‘documentary' about the FLOTUS? Obviously not. Will you enjoy listening to him slate it? We think so. Buckle up. Our guest this week is Riz Ahmed—actor, musician, writer and all-round creative force—joining Simon to talk about his bold new film adaptation of Hamlet. Reimagining Shakespeare's most introspective tragedy for the screen, Ahmed takes on the iconic role of the Prince of Denmark in a version that fuses classic text with contemporary urgency. He tells Simon what it means to wrestle with “to be or not to be” in the modern world. Mark also reviews Hamlet, plus three more of this week's notable releases. There's Send Help, Sam Raimi's survival thriller that strands its characters in a fight against both nature and themselves; The Chronology of Water, a visceral adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch's memoir, and Kristen Stewart's directorial debut; and It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley, a documentary portrait of the elusive, mythic musician whose influence still reverberates decades on. All this, plus the box office top 10, the lofty pleasures of the Laughter Lift, and the usual conversational twists, turns, and small-hill-pedantry you've come to expect.

In today's Daily Fix:Grand Theft Auto 6 will be released later this year (or so we've been assured by publisher Take-Two), but no actual launch details have been revealed. Many fans want to know if they'll be able to by a physical version of the game at launch, and Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick is now saying that a digital-only launch is 'not the plan.' While not explicitly saying that disc versions will be available, it does leave the door open for interpretation. In other news, Overwatch 2 had a big Spotlight stream where developer Blizzard outlined changes coming to the hero shooter. Most notably, the game will drop the '2' from the title, and be known simply as 'Overwatch.' A new story-focused era is coming, which will last a year, and several new characters have been announced. And finally, a new Nintendo Direct, this one centered on their third-party partners, will be dropping bright and early at 6am Pacific time tomorrow.

A maior cobertura de GTA 6 do mundo continua e hoje vamos acompanhar a ligação de investidores da Take-Two. empresa-mãe da Rockstar Games. Podemos esperar os resultados do último trimestre e previsões para 2026 e 2027. Será que agora vai para GTA 6?O Flow Games de hoje tá ligado no sobe e desce das ações. Vem conferir!

Welkom bij een nieuwe aflevering van Gamekings Daily. In deze gaming vodcast praten twee presentatoren van Gamekings over de laatste ontwikkelingen uit de wereld der videogames. Woensdag is de dag dat doorgaans Boris  aan de desk aanschuift om samen met JJ het nieuws door te nemen. Zo ook nu. Het nieuws van gisteren en vandaag is om door een ringetje te halen. Zo is de Switch inmiddels de bestverkopende console ooit van Nintendo en loopt de Switch 2 op koers om dat record ooit te gaan breken. Dan zou je verwachten dat iedereen vol enthousiasme reageert. Maar was dat ook zo? Dinsdagavond was er ook de aandeelhouders meeting waarin Take-Two zou bekendmaken wat ze het komend jaar gaat doen. Iedereen wilde maar één ding weten: komt GTA 6 inderdaad op 19 november uit? Het antwoord op al deze vragen krijg je in de Gamekings Daily van woensdag 4 februari 2026.De Switch ligt op koers om de PS2 in te halenNaast de fantastische cijfers van hun beide consoles, maakte Nintendo ook bekend hoe het met de games ging. Dat Mario Kart World deze charts topt, en ruim ook, zal niemand verbazen. Dat Metroid Prime 4: Beyond er niet op voorkwam, wel. Wat is daar aan de hand? Moeten de makers van deze game, Retro Studios, zich zorgen gaan maken? Je hoort het in deze video.Take-Two geeft min of meer garantie af dat GTA 6 dit jaar uitkomtNaast het vertrouwen in de releasedatum van GTA 6 maakte de baas van Take-Two, Strauss Zelnick, nog een paar details bekend over het spel. Boris en JJ vertellen in deze vodcast welke info er nog meer gedeeld werd. Verder heeft Sony een patent geregistreerd voor AI gegenereerde podcasts waarin beroemde game personages uit hun IP's met elkaar gezellig een uurtje vol lullen over hun aankomende spellen. Hoe kijken de beide heren tegen deze ontwikkeling aan?

Welkom bij een nieuwe aflevering van Gamekings Daily. In deze gaming vodcast praten twee presentatoren van Gamekings over de laatste ontwikkelingen in de wereld die videogames heet. Vandaag is het de beurt aan Jasper om bij JJ aan te schuiven voor het belangrijkste nieuws van het afgelopen weekend. De twee bespreken onder andere de beurscrash van een aantal uitgevers vanwege de Genie AI tool van Google en de aanwezigheid van videogames in de Epstein files. Verder wordt er gesproken over Nioh 3, die niet langer een PS5-exclusive zal zijn en de The Last of Us tv-serie die na het seizoen gaat stoppen. Al deze onderwerpen en meer krijg je te zien en te horen in de Gamekings Daily van maandag 2 februari 2026.AI tool Google laat aandeelhouders flink schrikkenOpeens doken de aandelen van onder andere Roblox en Take-Two flink omlaag. Oorzaak was de aankondiging van Google dat zij hun Genie 3 tool waarmee je met behulp van AI je eigen game kunt maken, vrijgaven voor het publiek. Waarom reageerde de markt hier zo heftig op? De tool liet mensen maar games van 60 seconden maken. De kwaliteit was qua gameplay ook nog ver te zoeken. Toch verdampte er in een dag miljarden aan beurswaarde? Jasper en JJ buigen er hun hoofd over in deze vodcast.Epstein was niet alleen een viespeuk maar ook een gamerDe Epstein files houden de wereld al geruime tijd bezig. Beetje bij beetje laat de Amerikaanse overheid documenten vrij. Dit keer waren het er drie miljoen die momenteel door de media worden doorgespit. Naast veel ellende kwamen videogames opeens ook in de spotlights. Epstein bleek namelijk een gamer die dankzij zijn netwerk ook probeerde invloed uit te oefenen op de industrie. Bijvangst die de twee heren in deze video met jullie doornemen.

We start with reports claiming Grand Theft Auto 6 may not launch with a physical edition, as Take-Two and Rockstar allegedly consider a digital-only release to prevent leaks. We discuss what this could mean for collectors, retail, and GTA 6's already sky-high expectations. Next, we dig into new analyst predictions suggesting the PlayStation 6 may be delayed longer than expected, potentially extending the PS5 generation well into the next decade. We debate whether the PS5 still has untapped potential and what features the PS6 would actually need to feel like a true generational leap. We also cover reports that a PlayStation State of Play is locked in for February, what Sony might show, and whether titles like Marvel's Wolverine, Saros, and Marathon could appear. On the industry side, we break down Ubisoft worker unions calling for a global strike, following layoffs, studio closures, and a push to end remote work. We discuss what this says about the current state of the games industry. Plus, we react to the Microsoft Developer Direct, Xbox's declining revenue numbers, discourse surrounding new releases, Nintendo Switch censorship concerns, and a packed slate of Flash News, including MLB The Show 26, PS Plus February games, and more. We wrap up with Whatcha Been Playin'?, community questions, and plenty of classic Trophy Room discourse.

Our guests this week are two comedy giants: star of Arrested Development, 30 Rock and BoJack Horseman, Will Arnett—and mega-successful scouse standup John Bishop. It's Bishop's unlikely comedy origin story that inspired Is This Thing On?, the new Hollywood feelgood blockbuster directed by Bradley Cooper. In it, Arnett plays a divorced dad who puts his name down for an open mic at a bar just to save the entry fee—then accidentally catches the comedy bug. As he secretly follows his new standup dreams, can comedy save his sanity—and maybe even his marriage? Find out what Mark makes of it, plus two more of this week's big screen releases. First up its Nouvelle Vague, Richard Linklater's homage to the French new wave film movement of the 1960s. Linklater's film dramatises the making of one of its essential movies, Jean Luc Godard's Breathless. And from uber-cool Parisians murderous monkey's, we'll be reviewing Primate too: a tongue in cheek horror where a pet chimp goes bad.

This episode is part of the "Inches Are All Around Us" series looking for all the little pockets—inches, if you will—that comprise the greater than $1 trillion in healthcare waste in this country annually. 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. Many of these inches, if we hack them out, will actually improve patient care because these inches are just like the friction that's in the middle. To this end, I started thinking about FQHCs (Federally Qualified Health Centers), which are (these FQHCs in this context, if you think about it) kind of a great laboratory for scrappy and amazing case studies about finding and cutting out waste with some serious fiscal discipline. The thing with FQHCs and why they are great places to I spy inches of waste is really because if an FQHC has a budget shortfall, they cannot solve it by cost shifting to commercial patients, commercial members, commercial plans. They have no commercial patients.  Also, they have a patient population that many would consider challenging, and they cannot restrict access. They gotta make do with what they have. They must have actually true fiscal discipline. They either figure out how to be efficient, or their patient population does not get care. But what tipped me over the edge to revisit this episode from 2021 with Gary Campbell—who is the CEO of an FQHC, by the way—I picked the show to revisit because of my conversation with Nikki King, DHA, that I had earlier this year (EP470). Nikki and I caught up, and she is now the CEO of an FQHC in Indiana. I had interviewed Nikki, by the way, about rural health a few years ago (EP338). So, go back and listen to that if anything I say today you find intriguing for other reasons. Tribe, this is interesting to think about what I'm about to tell you. Really. I've been thinking about it for six months. I wanna start out here recapping my aforementioned catch-up conversation with Nikki King as the lead-in to my conversation with Gary Campbell to follow. And to be specific here, Gary Campbell is the CEO of an FQHC in Virginia called Johnson Health Center; and Nikki King is CEO at Alliance Health Centers in Indiana. Let me tell you one thing that Nikki King did. There are many things that she did, but here's one that she told me about. Nikki realized after talking and listening to their patients that one of the biggest barriers to getting care at her FQHC for patients was no transportation. Also, as most FQHCs, they were short on funds. So, doing things like free Ubers or something like that was not an option. So, you know what Nikki did? She thought about where her patients are. For example, most referrals to their addiction treatment services came from the courthouse—a judge remanding, if that's the right word, someone to treatment. So, two birds with one stone style, Nikki marched over to the courthouse facilities person and asked if they had any open office space at the courthouse, you know, work from home and all of that. Maybe there were some open offices. Well, the courthouse did. They had some open offices. So, now rent-free or almost rent-free, I don't, I'm not sure, when a judge says to somebody, "Go get addiction treatment," that judge can also point down the hall and the patient can just walk over. Nikki did the same thing, setting up a clinic in a day care center. She set up a clinic in a homeless shelter and right by a big basketball court. You compare and contrast this, I don't know, "just get it done" approach to all of the times that you hear about "some cash-strapped entity" who decides the best thing to do immediately is new construction. Pay to build brick and mortar and then in perpetuity, of course, pay all the costs and the snow removal and the security and the utilities and repair for that new construction. And they could be an FQHC building new buildings—one of the less scrappy ones—but it also could be a big, consolidated health system or anybody in between. It's amazing how many times you hear "razor-thin margins," and then you hear "new construction" in the same sentence. I'm like, "Yeah … gotcha. Upsize." Call it my Pennsylvania Dutch and Bronx heritage. But yeah … head exploding. That was a tangent. Bottom line, however, I say all this to say FQHCs (the ones with great leadership, at least) are a wonderful case study to look for insights on how to operate in an environment that cannot rely on, again, raising commercial rates and cost shifting to balance the budget, right? Let's not forget, there are two very different ways to end up with no profit: One is genuine struggle. The other is simply being very good at spending every dollar that is given to you. For plan sponsors, this is a vital distinction, regardless of how loud anybody cries poor, any clinical partner who lacks fiscal discipline isn't struggling; they're inefficient. And we do not have a market in healthcare to be able to tell who's struggling versus who is inefficient. So, yeah … keep that in mind and listen to episode 490 and 492 after this one with Shane Cerone and Sam Flanders, MD, for more on the whole "there's no market" theme, as well as more on the fiscal discipline topic. But again, this is why FQHCs are such a good case study here, because there's an upper limit to how much money they have. In most circumstances—I mean, barring some big donation or something like that—but under most circumstances, they have a revenue cap that they have to be disciplined enough to work within. Okay … one last thing before we kick into the show today. I wanna be really clear here. Fiscal discipline isn't something that any individual doctor or nurse or other clinician can tackle in a vacuum. Or even any given administrator. It is a leadership imperative. Great leadership doesn't just manage the clinical side. It takes accountability for the administrative waste that keeps margins thin and prices high. So, here's actionable advice for anybody listening, regardless of what you may or may not have to do with FQHCs. If you're a plan sponsor looking for a clinical partner, consider, like, what Nikki King is doing and the thinking that Gary Campbell is gonna talk about as a benchmark. Real value comes from finding the organizations that treat fiscal discipline as kind of a mission critical strategy, because these days, with all the affordability issues, it is financial toxicity is clinical toxicity. I mean, maybe you can find an organization that actually does unit cost accounting. Listen to the show with Mick Connors, MD (EP495). Okay … as I said earlier, my guest today is Gary Campbell, who I spoke with in 2021—so this is a deep cut from the archives, but it's also a really great show.
