    The health sciences sector employs approximately 16 million people in the U.S. alone and is expected to grow by 13% from 2022 to 2032. But what skills do students need? What roles can they pursue?  We sat down with Priya Mukundan to talk all about healthcare careers. Priya is an innovative and strategic healthcare leader with over 15 years of experience in post-acute care and clinical operations. She currently serves as the Post Acute Care Network Administrator at Navvis/Allina Health in Minneapolis, Minnesota, working with hospitals and skilled nursing facilities to optimize care transitions, reduce hospital stays, and improve patient outcomes while focusing on Medicare and value-based care strategies. A licensed physical therapist with advanced training in digital health, Priya is passionate about building patient-centered systems that deliver high-quality and cost-effective care to improve the health and lives of patients across the care continuum. In this episode, we talk Priya about her extensive experience in the healthcare industry. She shares her insights about how to prepare students for careers in healthcare, specifically for administrative assistant roles. These roles are the background of any successful medical practice, according to Priya.  She dives deep into what your students need to succeed in these jobs, and how you, as an educator, can help them prepare for the fast-paced, ever-evolving world of healthcare and medicine.  Ready to learn more about our Health Sciences Careers program?

    EPISODE 142 | Project 2025: The First 180 Days (World Is Weird 15) Donald Trump said he didn't really know much about Project 2025 except that they sure liked him. And yet, of 313 specific Project 2025 initiatives, he's already enacted 108 of them, and another 63 are actively in the works as of this recording. Quite a coincidence, wouldn't you say? Project 2025 put a lot of importance of a sort of blitzkrieg if their boy won the 2024 election, a flurry of activity to define the first 180 days of his presidency and hopefully create so much change that, no matter what happens in future elections (if there are any) many of the changes they want to see happen will end up sticking around. That benchmark date was July 19.  So, let's look at Project 2025. What they say, and some of their own justifications for why they say it. And we'll also see just how much Trump has actively assisted them in realizing their vision for a very different America than the world has ever seen.  Like what we do?

    This Day in Legal History: Medicare and Medicaid Signed into BeingOn July 30, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Social Security Amendments of 1965 into law, creating the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The signing took place at the Truman Library in Independence, Missouri, with former President Harry S. Truman—an early advocate for national health insurance—present and symbolically receiving the first Medicare card. Medicare was designed to provide hospital and medical insurance to Americans aged 65 and older, regardless of income or medical history. Medicaid, created alongside Medicare, offered healthcare assistance to low-income individuals and families.At the time, nearly half of Americans over 65 had no health insurance. The passage of Medicare was a landmark achievement of Johnson's Great Society initiative and built on decades of political struggle over healthcare reform. The legislation amended Title XVIII of the Social Security Act and was strongly opposed by many in the medical establishment and conservative politicians who labeled it as “socialized medicine.” Nevertheless, the program gained rapid popularity and provided immediate relief to millions.Administered by the federal government, Medicare initially had two parts: Part A, covering hospital insurance, and Part B, covering outpatient and physician services. It has since evolved to include prescription drug coverage (Part D) and options for private plans (Medicare Advantage). The law reshaped the American healthcare landscape and established the principle that access to healthcare for seniors was a federal responsibility.The U.S. Senate confirmed Emil Bove, a former lawyer for Donald Trump and senior Justice Department official, to a lifetime seat on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a narrow 50-49 vote. Bove faced unified Democratic opposition and criticism from over 900 former DOJ employees, who claimed he undermined the department's integrity. His nomination prompted a Democratic walkout during the Senate Judiciary Committee's vote and drew sharp condemnation from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.Despite controversy, Republicans praised Bove's background as a federal terrorism prosecutor and his legal work defending Trump in several criminal cases. His confirmation shifts the appellate court's balance back in favor of Republican appointees. Critics cited Bove's alleged directives that defied judicial authority and political interference in a corruption case against New York Mayor Eric Adams. Bove denied wrongdoing in both instances. His confirmation is part of Trump's renewed effort in his second term to reshape the judiciary, following over 230 appointments in his first term. Trump has also nominated another close adviser, Jennifer Mascott, to the same court.Trump lawyer Bove confirmed to US appeals court, overcoming Democratic opposition | ReutersBove Confirmed to Appeals Court After Whistleblowers Emerge (1)A White House crypto task force established by President Trump is set to release a highly anticipated report outlining the administration's policy goals for the digital asset sector. The report, expected Wednesday, will address tokenization, market structure legislation, and a regulatory framework for blockchain-based financial products. Created by executive order shortly after Trump took office in January, the group is led by Bo Hines and includes top officials such as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and SEC Chair Paul Atkins.The document is expected to support expanded use of tokenization, which converts traditional assets like stocks and real estate into blockchain-based tokens. The report may call on the SEC to create a framework enabling firms like Coinbase to offer tokenized securities, though specific language remains under wraps. It will also outline the White House's preferences for crypto legislation currently advancing in Congress, including follow-up to the recently passed stablecoin law.Trump has made pro-crypto policies a centerpiece of his administration, reversing many of the enforcement actions taken under President Biden, such as lawsuits against Coinbase and Binance. While the industry sees the report as a roadmap for mainstream integration, concerns remain about conflicts of interest, particularly given Trump's financial ties to crypto ventures and meme coins. The administration has denied any ethical violations.White House set to unveil closely watched crypto policy report | ReutersThe Trump administration has formally requested the release of grand jury transcripts related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, citing public interest and mounting pressure over the government's handling of the sex trafficking cases. Prosecutors filed late-night motions with U.S. District Judges Richard Berman and Paul Engelmayer, arguing that the sealed testimony should now be disclosed, though the judges had previously asked for stronger legal justification. Grand jury records are typically secret, with limited exceptions for disclosure.Trump said he directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek the unsealing after the Justice Department reaffirmed its conclusion that Epstein died by suicide and that there was no list of elite clients—a stance that frustrated some Trump supporters who suspect a cover-up. Epstein died in 2019 before his trial; Maxwell, convicted in 2021, is serving a 20-year sentence and has appealed to the Supreme Court to overturn her conviction.In a related effort, a Florida judge recently denied a separate request to release grand jury records from earlier state investigations into Epstein, ruling they did not meet legal exceptions. Even if the federal judges allow the current transcripts to be unsealed, the documents may not reveal new information, since much of the testimony was covered during Maxwell's trial. The transcripts also wouldn't encompass the full scope of investigative material held by the government.Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, a former Trump lawyer, recently met with Maxwell for two days, reportedly seeking any names or evidence she could provide about others potentially involved. Neither Blanche nor Maxwell's attorney has commented in detail on those meetings.Trump administration asks judges to release Epstein, Maxwell grand jury transcripts | ReutersA Massachusetts jury has ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay over $42 million to Paul Lovell, who developed mesothelioma after decades of using the company's talc products. Lovell and his wife sued in 2021, claiming the talc contained asbestos that he unknowingly inhaled, and accused J&J of failing to warn consumers despite knowing the risks. The jury awarded damages for pain, suffering, and medical costs.J&J denied any wrongdoing, calling the verdict “junk science” and saying its products are asbestos-free and safe, with plans to appeal the decision. The company ended U.S. sales of talc-based baby powder in 2020. This case adds to a string of multi-million-dollar verdicts against J&J in talc-related mesothelioma lawsuits, although some have been overturned on appeal.J&J is facing over 63,000 active lawsuits, and possibly up to 100,000 claims in total, most alleging ovarian cancer from talc use. The company's attempts to resolve the claims through bankruptcy have failed in court three times, including a $10 billion settlement proposal rejected in March. The Lovell case is part of ongoing litigation that continues to test J&J's legal strategy and product safety claims.Johnson & Johnson ordered to pay $42M after jury finds talc caused man's cancer | Reuters This is a public episode.

She brings deep experience from both the plaintiff and defense sides of workers' compensation. She shares how her involvement with CLM and litigation education shaped her expertise and helped grow her professional network.We explore the many stakeholders in the workers' compensation system. Kirsten discusses distinctions between plaintiff-side and defense-side stakeholders and how they interact—or clash—within systems that vary state by state.On the plaintiff (applicant) side, she highlights challenges such as unrealistic expectations, lack of understanding of legal metrics, and client control issues. Then she systematically breaks down the far more complex defense side, detailing the roles of carriers, TPAs, hearing members, medical providers, mediators, ombudsmen, vendors, brokers, excess carriers, self-insured clients, and even how politics play out in our system.Throughout our conversation, Kirsten emphasizes one central principle: communication is critical. Where, oh where have we heard that before? Whether navigating expectations, coordinating stakeholders, or managing the risk of expensive cases, clear, proactive, and coordinated communication is what drives effective outcomes.Stakeholders in the Workers' Comp Ecosystem:Injured Worker The employee who was hurt at work and seeking benefits.Applicant's Attorney / Claimant's Attorney / Plaintiff's Attorney / Petitioner's Counsel The lawyer representing the injured worker (term varies by state).Defense Attorney The attorney representing the employer or insurance carrier.Employer The company where the injured worker is employed; also referred to as "the insured."Insurance Carrier The insurance company providing workers' comp coverage to the employer.Third-Party Administrator (TPA) An outside company that manages the administration of claims on behalf of self-insured employers or insurance carriers.Broker An insurance advisor who helps employers obtain and manage coverage.Self-Insured Employer A company that pays claims out-of-pocket, often with excess insurance coverage.Excess Carrier The insurer that covers costs beyond a self-insured employer's retention layer.Hearing Member / Judge / Commissioner The official who hears and rules on workers' compensation disputes.Ombudsman A state-provided guide who assists unrepresented workers.Mediator A neutral party who helps both parties involved in a litigated case try to settle the case before trial.Medical Provider Doctors and other clinicians who treat the injured worker.Nurse Case Manager (NCM) A licensed nurse who helps coordinate medical care and communicate with all stakeholders. NCMs are often called in to help coordinate more complex claims. Vendors Service providers such as interpreters, transportation, Medicare compliance experts, durable medical equipment (DME) suppliers, and home modification specialists.Subrogation Counsel / Third-Party Recovery Attorneys or departments pursuing reimbursement when a third party (not the employer) caused the injury.Family Members Often involved in influencing the injured worker's decisions and expectations, an important perspective to keep in mind througho¡Muchas Gracias!

    When did healthcare marketing become so disconnected from the people it needs to reach? Brandon Edwards, founder of Unlock Health and a 30-year veteran in healthcare marketing, joins us for a provocative conversation about why traditional approaches are failing in what he calls "the post-truth era."Edwards reveals a startling reality: roughly half the population deeply distrusts institutions and experts – the very foundation of most healthcare marketing. "There's about half the population that has a heavy distrust of institutions and experts, and if you're a healthcare provider, you're marketing on behalf of an institution and featuring experts in white coats," Edwards explains. This tribal division requires fundamentally different approaches to connect with skeptical audiences.We tackle the controversial practice of hospitals sponsoring professional sports teams and stadiums – with some organizations spending upwards of $50 million on these arrangements. Are these investments justified when healthcare systems face unprecedented financial pressures? Edwards questions whether these high-profile sponsorships effectively reach new patients or merely reinforce negative stereotypes about healthcare spending.The conversation dives deep into the increasingly adversarial relationship between healthcare providers and insurance companies. As Edwards bluntly states, "The entire healthcare system is designed for insurance companies – it's their world and we're just living in it." This power imbalance has created a system where providers struggle for sustainability while payers extract enormous profits as middlemen.For healthcare leaders navigating these challenges, Edwards offers practical guidance: eliminate non-essential services, develop real-time measurement dashboards, and craft marketing that resonates with diverse audiences through authentic messengers they trust. Most importantly, organizations must recognize that commercially-insured patients subsidize their broader mission – making effective marketing to these groups essential for long-term survival.With Medicare facing insolvency within 7-8 years and recent budget cuts threatening to increase the uninsured population, this conversation couldn't be more timely. What will it take for our healthcare system to evolve beyond its current dysfunctional state?

    What does soccer have to do with retirement? A lot more than you'd think. As a 5'5" former college soccer player turned financial advisor, I've learned it's not about brute strength. It's about smart decisions. That mindset guides the way I approach financial planning today.At 29, people ask why I care so much about retirement. The answer is simple: good planning gives you time. And time with the people you love is the most valuable thing there is. I've seen how a well-structured plan, from managing taxes to optimizing healthcare and using flexible accounts, can buy you years with aging parents, a spouse, or even just your own freedom.But there are traps, like being "qualified rich." That $2 million in your 401(k)? After taxes and penalties, it's not what it seems. That's why I'm a big fan of what I call “superhero accounts” like brokerage accounts that let you retire on yourterms. And don't get me started on the healthcare gap between early retirement and Medicare. It's one of the biggest mindset hurdles we help people overcome.I got into this work after watching my own parents get burned by multiple advisors. Some were too fancy, some were too hands-off, and none truly planned holistically. That gap in the industry is what I aim to close.To me, the goal is recreational employment.

    Navigating Industry Volatility: How Insurance Agents Can Thrive in a Changing Medicare LandscapeThe latest episode of the Insurance Business Babes podcast brings together host Kathe Kline, co-host Joanna Wyckoff, and industry powerhouse Neil Reich for an honest discussion of the current turbulence in the Medicare insurance world. With plan exits, shrinking commissions, regulatory uncertainties, and unprecedented price hikes, agents must now adapt, diversify, and deepen relationships to stay successful.Industry Upheaval: What's Changing in Medicare AdvantageAccording to guest Neil Reich, the past year has brought volatility unlike anything he's seen in his 27-year career. Major Medicare Advantage carriers like Humana and Aetna have pulled out of some markets due to soaring medical loss ratios, leaving consumers scrambling for alternatives and further concentrating business among remaining giants like United. Commission structures are shifting, and the legal landscape is uncertain, with the Department of Justice and new CMS rules causing ongoing anxiety about the future of FMOs (Field Marketing Organizations).Diversification Is EssentialNeil isn't deterred by the disruption—instead, he emphasizes the need for insurance agents to diversify their offerings. His new agency, Care Connect Advisors, has quickly added Medicare Supplement plans, Index Universal Life, final expense, hospital indemnity (with popular guaranteed-issue options for ages 64-70), cancer, dental, and even annuities to the product mix. This mirrors Kathe and Joanna's advice that now, more than ever, agents should be “multi-product” — cross-selling to better serve clients and protect their own earnings in the face of shrinking Medicare Advantage opportunities.Relationship Building and Technology: The Agent's GoldmineStaying connected to clients is a major theme. The podcast highlights how agents are successfully blending manual outreach (calls and texts to educate and cross-sell) with automation (drip campaigns, retention videos, and CRM tools). Touchpoints aren't just for selling—they reinforce trust, increase retention, and open natural conversations about needs like hospital indemnity or annuities.The Path Ahead: AI, FMOs, and the Advisor MindsetWhile regulators mull the impact of overrides and marketing practices, agents are also looking to the future with AI poised to disrupt the sales process. Still, both Neil and the hosts remain optimistic: FMOs like Spark are evolving, offering powerful tech and support. The key message? Agents must evolve from “order takers” to true advisors—guiding clients comprehensively through industry changes and personalized solutions.In summary, claim your power as an agent by diversifying your product line, leveraging smart tech, nurturing relationships, and embracing your advisory role. In a shifting Medicare world, these strategies are more essential—and more rewarding—than ever.This episode is sponsored by ⁠CertifiedMedicareAgents.com⁠.
