In this episode of the Elevate Care podcast—and the first installment of the new series on the road—host Christin Stanford travels to Seattle, Washington to visit Seattle King County Clinic, a large-scale, free pop-up clinic that has delivered more than $33 million in health services over 11 years. Christin sits down with Julia Colson, the clinic's founder and project executive, to unpack the vision, partnerships, and community impact behind this remarkable initiative. Julia shares how a single episode of 60 Minutes sparked the idea, how a "stone soup" model of collaboration keeps the clinic running, and why her ultimate goal is to see the clinic put out of business. She also speaks to the power of language access in delivering truly equitable care—including a moving story about a patient who found an interpreter for Quechua, an indigenous language of the Incan empire. This is part one of a two-part series. Part two will feature medical director Rick Arnold and focus on the clinical delivery side of the clinic. Learn more about Language Services at Language Services | AMN Healthcare About Julia Colson Julia Colson is the Founder and Project Executive of Seattle King County Clinic, operating under Seattle Center, a department of the City of Seattle.

Vonny Laing is a user-centred design lead at the Student Loans Company, part of the UK government, where she oversees a service used by millions of people at every stage of their higher education journey. She has held roles spanning UX design, content design, and head of design across both public and private sectors, and completed an MBA specifically to earn the language of business — and with it, a seat at the table where design decisions get made. We discuss why designing from the majority inward produces invisible failures, how flipping to an underserved-first model creates a halo effect for all users, and why government service assessments make the happy-path approach structurally untenable. Vonny shares how a single day of guerrilla research at a further education college surfaced a critical gap between student loan payments and universal credit eligibility that years of data had never revealed — and why synthetic users can never replicate that. We also get into her "eat your greens" principle for designing across a user's whole life; the case for disaster thinking over happy-path optimism; how stories and verbatims move executives more reliably than dashboards; and why designers who learn to speak business become a secret weapon in any organisation.Chapters:(00:53) Welcome and introductions (01:23) Vonny background (02:10) Moving fast in the civil service (04:02) The UK government digital community (05:05) The pyramid model (07:03) Underserved versus edge case users (08:09) Designing at population scale (09:43) Service assessments and design accountability (11:01) Discovery research methodology (13:25) Finding users invisible in the data (16:22) Bridging gaps you cannot fix (18:42) Eat your greens: needs versus wants (20:07) Designing for users over time (21:04) Worst-case scenario thinking (22:11) Mining complaint logs and prioritising (25:47) Why synthetic users fall short (28:12) Where automated testing has a role (29:19) Leave the building: guerrilla research (33:03) Communicating research through storytelling (36:29) Why Vonnie did an MBA (39:03) Design's ceiling in organisations (42:04) Wrap-upOur HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.

Before founding Rubber Sole Creative, Stav Ozdoba came to the U.S. with one goal: become a filmmaker. Within months, he was in meetings to direct a feature. Not long after, he learned just how brutal that path could be. What followed wasn't a straight line. It was a pivot. From indie films to editing weddings. From teaching himself Final Cut to landing at Sony. From cutting sizzles and promos to leading teams and eventually building his own creative shop from the ground up. In this episode, Corey and Stav trace that journey and get into what actually sustains a career in this business. Not just passion, but craft. Not just ambition, but clarity around what you're truly good at. They also dig into how storytelling changes across platforms, why "added value" creative matters more than ever, and what it really takes to carve out space as an independent in a crowded, evolving industry. Calls to Action Follow Stav Ozdoba and Rubber Sole Creative on LinkedIn Visit: rubbersoleav.com Like what you hear? Leave a rating and review Follow Corey: @coreysnathan across platforms Subscribe for weekly conversations with the people behind the work Key Takeaways The path isn't linear, and that's the point Stav arrived in LA aiming to direct films, but the reality of the industry forced a pivot. Editing became the lane where his instincts and abilities aligned and ultimately opened more doors than chasing directing ever did. Follow what you're good at, not just what you love Passion alone isn't enough. Stav makes a clear distinction between what you enjoy and what you can consistently execute at a high level. The sweet spot is where skill and interest meet. The edit bay is the real classroom Early on, Stav learned by proximity. Watching other editors. Asking questions. Absorbing instincts. Not formal training, but immersion in the craft. Story is the constant, format is the variable Whether it's a trailer, a sizzle, or a social cut, the job is still storytelling. The platforms change. The audience behavior changes. The need to connect emotionally does not. Underserved work is often the biggest opportunity Rubber Sole was built around doing the work others overlook. Behind the scenes, sizzles, added value pieces. Done right, those pieces don't just support campaigns, they drive audience interest. Relationships still matter more than tools Even in an era of AI and rapid change, the business still runs on trust. When stakes are high, people call collaborators they know can deliver. Creative ownership requires risk tolerance Leaving Sony to start Rubber Sole wasn't a calculated leap with guarantees. It was a bet on craft, relationships, and the belief that great work would create opportunity. Standout Quotes "I stopped following my passion and started following what I'm good at." "You're always telling a story, no matter the platform." "If the work is undeniable, the room will open." "We're not competing on price. We're competing against average."

LTS – Kevin and Craig | At the Crossroads: From Burnout to Authentic GrowthThis episode of the Lunchtime Series (LTS) with Kevin Britz and Craig Page-Lee explores the tension between operational burnout and strategic growth, offering a grounded and commercially relevant perspective on modern marketing and leadership. The conversation opens with a candid reflection on the strain caused by an ongoing client project that has demanded extensive time and energy with little financial return. Long hours, ongoing disagreements around scope, and a lack of accountability from stakeholders have created a sense of frustration that is both personal and professional.This operational pressure highlights a broader business challenge: when teams are consumed by delivery, they lose the capacity to focus on innovation, new business, and long-term growth. The scheduled in-person meeting at FNB's 5 Merchant Place represents a critical step toward resolving these tensions and regaining control over priorities. It signals a shift from reactive work toward more intentional, value-driven efforts that can support sustainable progress.Building on this foundation, the conversation transitions into the core theme of authentic inclusion in marketing. Craig reframes inclusive marketing as more than representation in advertising. Instead, it is defined as a holistic business approach where products, messaging, culture, and leadership reflect and serve the full diversity of the market. This perspective moves inclusion away from a compliance mindset and positions it as a strategic growth driver.A key distinction is made between authentic and performative inclusion. Performative inclusion is described as surface-level and often inconsistent, such as campaigns that showcase diversity without internal alignment or long-term commitment. Authentic inclusion, by contrast, is embedded within the organisation. It influences product design, decision-making, and organisational structure, ensuring that inclusion is not a moment but a consistent practice.The discussion emphasises that consumers are increasingly aware of this difference. Audiences are actively assessing whether brands live their stated values, often looking beyond campaigns to examine leadership, internal culture, and sustained actions. Brands that fail to align internally risk losing credibility, while those that commit to authenticity build stronger, more trusted relationships.Importantly, the episode frames inclusion as a commercial opportunity. Underserved markets represent significant economic potential, and brands that genuinely engage these audiences can unlock new growth. This requires a shift in thinking — from viewing inclusion as an obligation to recognising it as a competitive advantage.To support this, a practical four-step framework is outlined. First, brands must audit their internal reality to ensure alignment between messaging and practice. Second, they must identify clear commercial opportunities within inclusion. Third, they need to lead with conviction, avoiding ambiguity in their values. Finally, inclusion must be measured as a business metric, with clear targets and accountability.The conversation also highlights the importance of representation behind the scenes. Authentic inclusion extends beyond visible campaigns to include who is making decisions and shaping the brand. As scrutiny increases, this internal alignment becomes essential for credibility.Ultimately, this episode positions businesses at a crossroads. One path leads to performative actions that may create short-term visibility but weaken trust. The other leads to authentic inclusion, which requires commitment but delivers long-term growth, loyalty, and relevance.

Many pediatricians care for underserved populations, and have long recognized the inextricable links between the well-being of families and the outcomes for their children. Dr. Terri McFadden, professor of pediatrics at Emory University School of Medicine, medical director for Reach Out and Read Georgia, and president-elect for the American Academy of Pediatrics, joins us to talk about a new book which serves as a valuable 'how-to' on applying a two-generation approach to serving children and their families in an integrated manner — and offers primary care strategies for promoting optimal health and better developmental outcomes for children living in low-resourced environments.
"Community cats — it's really about the community. It brings the community together." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund, OcuTrap, and the Feline Behavior Summit 2026. What does it take to build a community cat program from scratch in a rural, under-resourced area where nearly everyone — officers, residents, and administrators alike — is convinced it won't work? In this episode of the Community Cats Podcast, host Stacy LeBaron sits down with TyAnn Sumpter, Manager of Shelter Support at Charleston Animal Society, to walk through one of the most compelling TNR success stories in recent memory. TyAnn came to animal welfare from the business world, and it was that entrepreneurial mindset that helped her see past the resistance and build something lasting in Florence County, South Carolina. TyAnn shares how she designed and launched the region's first TNR initiative using existing call log data, enthusiastic volunteers, and animal control officers who already knew which neighborhoods needed help. What started as a one-year, grant-funded pilot ended up spaying and neutering 1,700 cats in year one alone. By year two, the shelter that had previously taken in roughly a thousand cats annually had dropped its intake to just 73. The ripple effects are just as remarkable. Neighboring Darlington County started calling to ask why they didn't have a program, and TyAnn helped them get set up. Florence County eventually hired its own dedicated community cat coordinator, purchased its own transport van, and secured permanent budget funding — all things that would have seemed unimaginable when TyAnn first walked through that shelter door. She also makes a compelling case for using complaint call reductions and cost savings to win over skeptical municipal administrators. Press Play Now For: How TyAnn built Florence County's first TNR program with no roadmap and no buy-in Why mining call log data was the key to finding the community's hidden cat advocates The dramatic shelter intake drop — from 1,000 cats per year to just 73 How the program expanded into neighboring counties and became permanently self-funded The role animal control officers played in identifying colonies and building community trust Making the financial case to county administrators using complaint call metrics How Charleston Animal Society handles high-volume TNR surgeries two hours away Why a nonjudgmental, community-first approach is the most powerful tool in TNR The unexpected expansions: pet pantries, low-cost owned-cat spay/neuter, and more Resources & Links: Charleston Animal Society TyAnn Sumpter on LinkedIn Best Friends Animal Society United Spay Alliance

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Brett Chestnut. Managing Director of Northwestern Mutual Goodwin, Wright Gwinnett. The conversation centers on Brett’s mission as a financial leader, his journey from engineering to financial planning, his commitment to mentoring, and his focus on expanding diversity in the financial services industry. Brett describes how he transitioned from engineering in 2015 to financial planning because he wanted to help people regain the ability to dream—not just survive. He discusses his work in recruiting diverse advisors, supporting career‑shifting professionals, mentoring, and educating people on foundational financial decision‑making. The interview also explores money mindsets, budgeting, the challenges of building wealth in communities of color, and the often‑overlooked emotional side of money. Brett emphasizes starting with the basics, not skipping steps (e.g., jumping straight to cryptocurrency), and building strong financial foundations. Rushion repeatedly highlights Brett as a powerful brand and role model, underscoring the importance of Black leadership in financial fields and the role of representation in increasing trust and access. Purpose of the Interview The interview’s purpose is to: 1. Introduce Brett Chestnut as a trusted financial leader Rushion aims to elevate Brett’s visibility as a Black managing director in financial services—an industry where representation has traditionally been limited. 2. Educate listeners on financial empowerment Brett provides practical, relatable guidance on budgeting, investing, career transitions, and developing financial discipline. 3. Highlight Northwestern Mutual’s diversity initiatives Brett explains how the company is intentionally investing in diverse advisors and underserved markets. 4. Inspire career‑based and financial self‑reflection He encourages people to examine their spending habits, consider new career paths, and align decisions with long-term goals. 5. Promote mentorship and community uplift Both Brett and Rushion stress the transformative power of mentorship and generational investment. Key Takeaways 1. Financial empowerment starts with awareness Brett urges everyone to analyze their last 2–3 months of spending to understand what their habits really prioritize. 2. You must “choose your hard” Saving and planning may be difficult now, but the alternative is harder later. Financial success requires discipline, not magic formulas. 3. Wealth building is emotional as much as logical Money connects to family, relationships, self‑worth, stress, and confidence. Advisors must understand clients emotionally, not just mathematically—especially women and diverse communities. 4. Don’t skip steps (especially with investing and crypto) Many want to “get rich fast,” but Brett warns that skipping foundational steps (budgeting, savings, retirement planning) leads to confusion and poor decisions. 5. Mentorship works only with real relationship True mentorship requires understanding someone’s full life story, not just giving advice. 6. Representation matters in financial services Northwestern Mutual is investing heavily in diverse advisors not just for optics, but because entire markets have been historically underserved. 7. Closing the wealth gap requires generational strategy One generation must be willing to be selfless, disciplined, and intentional with assets to move future generations forward. 8. Brett sees his work as multiplying impact By developing new advisors and helping create “15 millionaires,” he hopes to create compounding community uplift. Notable Quotes On financial empowerment “I want people to dream again. We’re not dreaming no more—we’re living because of obligation.” “When we’re born we look like our parents, but when we die, we look like our decisions.” On career purpose “I help people who are successful but career‑disturbed. They want more.” On money habits “Look at your last three months of spending. Your money tells you what your real priorities are.” On investing and crypto “People want to skip steps… going from no savings straight to crypto.” “If you don’t understand it, maybe it’s not time for you to invest in it.” On mentorship “To give someone feedback without relationship is harassment.” “Let me hear your story… mentorship starts with knowing the inner person.” On diversity and empowerment “Their growth strategy is diversity… whole markets haven’t even been called on yet.” On community and identity “We’re special… if we regain that confidence and approach the marketplace with courage, everything changes.” On wealth-building reality “You have to choose your hard. Hard now or hard later.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm excited to share the 45th episode of This is Ag! featuring Chris Devers, CEO of Rancho Cielo, who is no stranger to transforming lives and communities. Rancho Cielo, a nonprofit in Salinas, California, provides at-risk youth with education, mentorship, and hands-on training in agriculture, culinary arts, automotive, and construction, giving them the tools to build practical skills and sustainable careers. Under Chris's leadership, the school has launched groundbreaking initiatives, including the first Future Farmers of America chapter at a charter school, dual enrollment with Hartnell College, and innovative projects like mobile refrigeration units for local organic farmers. Chris's approach puts students first, ensuring their foundational needs are met while connecting them to opportunities that empower them to thrive. Through stories of alumni like Ashley Soto, who went from a work crew member to running her own construction company, and Samuel, who became a hotel engineer and entrepreneur, Chris demonstrates how mentorship, opportunity, and community investment create lasting impact. This conversation highlights why investing in people with empathy, opportunity, and purpose isn't just good for individuals but also strengthens entire communities.

Humanoid robots are getting real, and the biggest question isn't “Can they dance?” It's “Who's going to understand them well enough to build, program, and fix them?” We sit down with Dr. Elliot Hefling Jr., founder of Reality Tech Academy, to talk about why he brings full-scale humanoid robots into education and why waiting until college is too late for most students, especially in underserved communities. We get into what it looks like to teach robotics with Pepper and NAO using Python programming, live demos, and simulation tools like Choregraphe. Dr. Hefling explains his “plant the seed” approach: show students how the code works behind the scenes, let them test wild ideas safely, and help them see technology as something they can create. We also explore what social robots can realistically do today, from multilingual interaction to machine vision, obstacle avoidance, indoor navigation, and even early ideas for elder care support like reminders, guidance, and simple object retrieval within payload limits. Along the way, we zoom out to the workforce problem: if humanoid robots become as common as computers, we'll need an entire pipeline of people who can troubleshoot and maintain them. That's where the episode lands, on becoming producers not just users, and building local skills so robotics doesn't become a black box. Subscribe, share this with a friend in STEM education or industrial automation, and leave a review with one thing you'd want a humanoid robot to help with.Support the show__________________________________________________________________

This week we discuss the current status of Mental Health Care. Mental health care is changing, but most experts argue it is not changing fast enough relative to the need, especially on access, equity, and workforce. Where change is too slow Unmet need is huge. In the U.S., millions with a diagnosable condition still receive no treatment each year; a recent national report notes that many adults with mental illness remain uninsured or unable to access care. Global workforce shortages. Nearly 50% of the world's population lives in countries with fewer than 1 psychiatrist per 100,000 people, which severely limits access. Specialist shortages in high‑income countries. Projections for the U.S. estimate a shortage of roughly 14,000–31,000 psychiatrists, with over half of counties having none at all, and this gap may persist for decades without major policy changes. System design still hospital‑centered. The WHO notes that two‑thirds of scarce mental health budgets still go to stand‑alone psychiatric hospitals rather than community‑based services, despite all countries having signed on to a reform plan. Persistent inequities. Underserved groups (rural communities, people of color, LGBTQ+ people, low‑income populations) face additional barriers like providers not taking Medicaid/Medicare, language gaps, and local provider deserts. What is changing quickly Telehealth and virtual care. Teletherapy and virtual mental health visits expanded dramatically and now make it easier to reach people regardless of location, with greater scheduling flexibility and fewer logistical barriers. Digital mental health tools. Apps and web programs delivering structured therapies (for example CBT modules) can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety with moderate to high effect sizes, including in low‑resource settings. New care pathways. Systems are experimenting with brief interventions, stepped‑care models, peer‑support programs, and task‑sharing where general health workers and community providers deliver basic mental health support. Policy and parity efforts. Some U.S. states are strengthening mental health parity enforcement, improving network adequacy, and changing insurance rules to make psychiatric medications and services easier to access. Stigma is slowly decreasing. Recent commentary highlights that more people are willing to seek help, pushing demand higher and driving interest in more personalized, data‑driven psychiatric care. Big picture: mismatch between need and pace Demand is outpacing innovation. Trauma, pandemic aftereffects, economic stress, and social unrest have increased mental health needs faster than systems can expand the workforce or redesign care, deepening inequities. Technology helps but isn't a cure‑all. Digital tools and telehealth extend reach, but quality is uneven, many apps lack strong evidence, and people with the most severe conditions still need intensive, in‑person, multidisciplinary care. Global agencies explicitly say pace is inadequate. The WHO's own assessment is that "change is not happening fast enough," framing the current situation as one of ongoing need and neglect despite clear evidence of what would work better. What would "fast enough" look like? Large‑scale investment in community‑based services and integration of mental health into primary care, shifting funding away from institutional‑only models. Aggressive strategies to grow and sustain the mental health workforce (training, better reimbursement, support to prevent burnout, incentives for underserved areas). Wider, evidence‑based use of digital interventions and telehealth, with standards for safety, privacy, and effectiveness so people can trust what they are using. Stronger parity enforcement and policies that make it actually practical—not just theoretically covered—to find and afford care. If you think about your own community or the people you work with, do you feel the main barrier is access (finding/affording care), quality (getting the right care), or something else like stigma or navigation?

Church planting is thriving at the very moment the church faces a crisis of credibility. What if the problem isn't too few churches—but too narrow a vision of what church is for? In this episode with Mark Labberton, Brad Brisco reflects on church planting shaped by Christology before strategy, mission before institution, and incarnation before programs. Together they discuss missionary imagination in the modern West, co-vocational ministry, alternative expressions of church, micro-church networks, church growth assumptions, vocation and work, justice and proximity, and what it means to return—daily—to the ways of Jesus. –––––––––––––––– Episode Highlights "We need to help church planters think less like pastors starting a Sunday service and more like missionaries engaging a unique context." "If by church we mean buildings, then no—we don't need more of those." "Mission isn't really ours. It's about what God's already doing." "We can say we're gospel-centered and still miss the ways of Jesus." "The only way the church gets this far off is by being void of the ways of Jesus." –––––––––––––––– About Brad Brisco Brad Brisco is a missiologist and church planting leader, trainer, and writer who has spent more than twenty-five years coaching and resourcing church planters across North America. After beginning his career in the restaurant industry, Brisco entered ministry through church planting and later joined Send Network, where his work has focused on alternative expressions of church, co-vocational leadership, and missionally engaged discipleship. He also serves on the national leadership team for Forge America Mission Training Network. Brad is the co-author of "Missional Essentials," a 12-week small group study guide, "The Missional Quest: Becoming a Church of the Long Run" and "Next Door As It Is In Heaven." He is widely known for challenging church growth assumptions and for advocating Christ-centered, incarnational approaches that integrate faith, work, and neighborhood life. Brisco remains closely connected to decentralized microchurch networks and innovative models of mission in urban contexts.

Missionary context of the modern West Do we need more churches or more ways of being church? Underserved neighborhoods and unengaged people groups Declining interest in traditional church programs Airplane anecdote exposing attractional church assumptions "You just need a really good sound system and a good speaker." Mission versus Sunday-centric church planting Christology–missiology–ecclesiology framework Jesus shaping mission before shaping church "Most church planters start with ecclesiology rather than the ways of Jesus." Church growth movement assumptions challenged Recapturing the missionary nature of the church Church as sent people, not religious service provider Incarnational presence in neighborhoods and workplaces "Mission isn't something we do over there." Participation in the mission of God "The mission isn't really ours—it's about what God's already doing." Individual salvation versus communal discipleship Robust Christology beyond the cross alone Incarnation, life, resurrection, and kingdom shaping mission Brokenness, proximity, and responsibility for place Mission as communal, not individual activity Bi-vocational and co-vocational ministry distinctions Marketplace calling as missional advantage Sacred–secular divide challenged Time constraints forcing alternative church models Team-based leadership as non-negotiable Theology of work as essential formation Financial freedom reshaping church planting incentives Fully funded models drifting toward attractional pressure Co-vocational longevity and sustainability Microchurch networks and decentralized leadership Tampa Underground as proof of concept Mission-first communities addressing justice and brokenness "Mission is the mother of adaptive ecclesiology." Diverse expressions emerging from contextual mission Established churches learning from church planting frameworks Incremental versus wholesale institutional change Sending churches supporting new expressions Calling the church back to the ways of Jesus "We can be gospel-centered and still miss the ways of Jesus."

In this episode of SaaS Fuel, host Jeff Mains sits down with Alex Sanfilippo, founder of PodMatch—a platform revolutionizing how podcast guests and hosts connect. Unlike traditional SaaS companies chasing celebrity users and vanity metrics, Alex built PodMatch with a radically different philosophy: serve the community first, prioritize human connection over growth at all costs, and give back to creators rather than extracting maximum value.Alex shares how PodMatch became a category leader without outside funding by focusing on one North Star metric, maintaining an all-paid model with no free trial, and launching the PodValue Initiative—giving over $1 million back to podcasters. This conversation challenges conventional SaaS wisdom and offers a refreshing perspective on building sustainable, values-driven software businesses that actually serve their users.Key Takeaways[4:35] - The Two-Week Validation Moment[6:41] - The Community-First Philosophy[7:22] - Serving the 99%, Not the 1%[10:12] - The Bold All-Paid Model[13:46] - Community as the Last Moat[19:11] - The PodValue Initiative[21:22] - Why Podcasters Quit[24:46] - The One-Year Rule[38:18] - The Profit-First Struggle[40:12] - The Single North Star Metric[44:58] - Messaging Matters MostTweetable Quotes"Everyone wants to chase the same 1,500 shows. We decided to flip that—you all can fight over those shows that don't want you anyway, and we'll just help anybody who needs help." — Alex Sanfilippo"We don't use the word 'users' in our vocabulary. We talk about our community members, the people that we get to serve." — Alex Sanfilippo"When we went all paid, the weirdest thing happened—we saw a huge influx of even more people signing up than were showing up before." — Alex Sanfilippo"Community is one of the last moats in SaaS. Code is not that anymore. But community is huge." — Jeff Mains"If somebody shows up and they're paying, they're gonna take it pretty seriously." — Alex Sanfilippo"We're not here to make a quick buck.

Serve the Underserved, Not the EliteMost SaaS companies chase the biggest names and enterprise clients. Alex flipped this model by focusing on independent creators—the 99% that everyone else ignores. This created fierce loyalty, organic growth, and a defensible community moat. Lesson: Your competitive advantage might be in serving the market segment everyone else overlooks.2. Quality Over Quantity: The All-Paid ModelBy eliminating free trials and free tiers, PodMatch ensured only serious, committed users joined the platform.

In this episode I had a powerful conversation with Dr. Andrew Hartz, a clinical psychologist and founder of the Open Therapy Institute.

Use code TherapyShow50 for $50 off your first month - CLICK HERE. Key takeaways: Therapist bias is a real and growing concern. Many clients feel alienated due to perceived political or ideological leanings of their therapists, often unintentionally communicated through things like pronoun usage or assumptions about worldview. Most therapists lean left politically, which can lead to clients self-censoring, feeling misunderstood, or avoiding therapy altogether. The Open Therapy Institute (OTI) was created to support therapists who want to offer politically neutral, values-attuned therapy and serve populations that feel underserved, especially those with conservative or centrist views. Therapists can grow their practice by learning to work effectively with clients from across the political spectrum. There is high demand and low supply of therapists trained to do this well. We discussed the importance of dialectical thinking. This means helping clients (and ourselves) hold multiple perspectives and tolerate ambiguity, especially around politics, religion, and identity.

Nearly one in four doctors in the U.S. is foreign-born—many from South Asia—and they often serve in rural and underserved urban communities where American physicians are scarce.

Drs. Kaul and Adegunsoye discuss Veterans Affairs' innovative approach to understanding and treating pulmonary fibrosis among veterans by leveraging extensive electronic health records and data repositories. The work focuses on addressing healthcare disparities, exploring risk factors, and developing a hub-and-spoke telehealth model to provide specialized care to veterans in rural and underserved areas.
Send us a textWhat does great IBD care look like when the system won't make it easy? We sit down with Dr. Adam Ehrlich, Section Chief of Gastroenterology at Temple Health and GI fellowship program director, to explore how he builds patient-centered care in an underserved setting—where insurance denials, missing records, and real-life logistics collide with complex disease.We talk about health literacy, trust, and the conversations that actually change outcomes. Adam explains how he frames risks and benefits with clarity, why the “risks of doing nothing” deserve equal airtime, and how he balances mode of therapy—IV, subcutaneous, or oral—against lifestyle, trauma history, pregnancy plans, and coverage rules. We dig into prison medicine's constraints, from medication access to policy barriers around scheduling, and the creative problem-solving required to keep patients safe and informed. He shares why being honest about uncertainty builds credibility, and how an early investment in patient education pays off with better monitoring and shared targets for remission.The episode also gets practical about personalization. We discuss drug levels with infliximab when severe colitis “loses” medication into the stool, when it's wise to de-escalate dosing, and how habits from flare days can persist after inflammation settles. Adam offers tools to retrain routines, navigate IBS overlap, and align care with quality of life goals like driving, work travel, and showing up at a kid's soccer game without anxiety. As a fellowship director, he reveals how he equips new gastroenterologists to handle today's broader therapy menu, think beyond flowcharts, and advocate through insurance barriers with persistence and purpose.If this conversation resonates, tap follow, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a quick review.

When most clinicians think about scaling, they picture working more hours, taking on more risk, or grinding harder than ever. Jonathan Parr took the opposite path. He built a multi-location, seven-figure, cash-based practice by focusing on a niche most practice owners avoid… and by building systems that made growth predictable instead of overwhelming. If you've ever wondered whether mastering a niche, developing your team, and creating actual freedom is possible in today's environment… …Jonathan's story is proof that it is. What You'll Learn Today How Jonathan built full caseloads in two cities by focusing on an underserved population The training process he uses to turn new grads into highly skilled niche clinicians Why retention skyrocketed once he redesigned schedules, caseloads, and benefits How his internal systems naturally evolved into globally purchased online programs The mindset shift that helped him stop doing everything himself and step into leadership USEFUL INFORMATION: Check out our course: Cash-Based Practice Mastermind

LionTree's James Lindsay visits the massive studio complex of Merwas in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (the world's largest music studio, according to Guinness) to converse with Danny Townsend, CEO of SURJ Sports Investment. Danny, who began his career playing football (a/k/a soccer) for Australia's Sydney United Team, had a 26 year-long career on the business side of sport prior to his 2023 appointment as CEO of SURJ. The pair hone in on Danny's broad remit, underlining the “dual mandate” of successfully deploying Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) in the sports arena, as well as bringing about genuine social change by expanding youth sport participation and maximizing opportunities for female athletes such as Saudi MMA champion, Hattan Alsaif.This podcast is for information purposes only.
