"What if you train them and they leave?" It's the fear that quietly keeps most healthcare leaders from investing in their people. Matt Staub — CEO of Your Health — wants you to sit with the question his mentor once asked in return: What if you don't train them, and they stay?

In this episode, Matt joins Jamie Preston for a conversation about why workforce education isn't a perk at Your Health — it's the culture. From nationally accredited apprenticeships, to a training pipeline built out of a licensing crisis, to the real people behind the success stories, this is a blueprint for leaders who want to grow something that lasts.

Key topics covered:

• The lumberjack story: why sharpening your axe beats swinging harder every time
• How a shortage of licensed administrators became the catalyst for Your Health's training engine
• The shift from "education happens on your own time" to "this is how we behave"
• Real success stories — Olivia, Kristin, Taylor, McKinsey, Rebecca — and what they share
• Matt's three challenges for anyone ready to grow: show up, find your who, take your shot

If you've ever wondered whether developing your people is worth the cost, this episode will change the math. Press play — then look around, and ask yourself who's looking at you.

What if the healthcare system your loved one relies on doesn't even know they need help until it's too late — and what would it look like if it did?

In this Q1 2026 episode, Jamie Preston sits down with Matt Staub, CEO of Your Health, for a candid and wide-ranging look at how one of the country's largest home-based care providers is navigating the evolving landscape of value-based care, population health, and the human experience at the center of it all. Matt brings his characteristic clarity and heart to a conversation that is equal parts strategy, story, and honest reckoning with what the system still gets wrong.

Key topics covered:

• Why 11% of patients account for 67% of all healthcare spending — and why most of them don't know they're in an ACO
• The evolution of value-based care: from quality-over-cost to outcomes + patient experience over total costs
• How Your Health is becoming proactive — not reactive — about falls, readmissions, and high-needs patients
• The quiet crisis of patient trust: down from 71% in 2020 to just 33% today, and what the correlation means for hospitalizations
• Real stories: a 79-year-old patient who went from barely existing to living fully — and Matt's own mom, who hasn't fallen since leaving the hospital after her stroke

If you work in healthcare, advocate for someone in the system, or simply believe that better is possible — this episode will change the way you see what care can be.

In this episode of Experiencing Healthcare, Jamie Preston and Your Health CEO Matt Staub wrestle with a deceptively simple idea from Harvard Business School Professor Ryan Buell: service is the business of people helping people. Sparked by Matt's experience at an Athena Health executive leadership forum, this is a conversation about what it truly means to serve — in a world where technology promises to do it faster, cheaper, and at scale.

Key topics covered:

• Why you can never fully take people out of a service industry — and what happens to care quality when you try
• How ambient listening technology like Mobius is using AI to restore human connection in the exam room, not replace it
• The ICU nurses who used tough love to get a post-heart-surgery patient walking — and what that story reveals about what genuine service really looks like
• The "can vs. should" question every healthcare leader must ask before deploying new technology
• How to show up and serve others with excellence, even on your hardest personal days

Healthcare will always evolve — but Matt and Jamie make a compelling case that the human at the center of care is the one thing worth protecting above all else. This one's worth the listen.

America spends nearly double what the fourth-ranked country spends on healthcare per capita — and still ranks among the worst in outcomes. So what exactly are we paying for?

In this episode of the Experiencing Healthcare Podcast, Jamie Preston and Your Health CEO Matt Staub examine what happens when healthcare gets treated like gasoline: something people expect to be available, can't easily compare on quality, and ultimately choose based on price or convenience. When brand and price stop mattering, the only differentiator left is how patients are made to feel — and whether they trust the person across from them enough to actually change.

What you'll hear in this episode:

• Why Matt ranks service above outcomes and access — and the patient story that changed how he thinks about both
• The "Chick-fil-A problem": how your healthcare experience is now being compared to your best service experience anywhere, not just the clinic down the street
• What provider burnout really looks like when a clinician closes their notes at 11pm wondering if their patient listened
• How insurance billing creates distrust that bleeds directly into the patient-provider relationship — and what healthcare organizations can do about it
• Why the most caring thing a doctor can do sometimes feels like the worst customer service in the room

If you've ever felt like a number in a waiting room — or if you've ever been the one trying to help someone who wouldn't listen — this conversation will stay with you. Press play.

What if the most powerful clinical tool in healthcare wasn't a drug, a device, or a data platform — but a word?

In this episode of Experiencing Healthcare, Jamie and Matt have a conversation that starts with Disney World germs and ends with something that will change the way you lead your team tomorrow.

They unpack the idea of Intentional Positive Reinforcement — not the hollow "great job" you throw over your shoulder in the hallway, but the kind of deliberate, meaningful recognition that creates a ripple effect all the way to the patient's bedside. Matt shares what a dental hygienist taught him about doing things right, why a pair of clicking heels in a nursing home hallway was actually a leadership strategy, and what happens to a healthcare team that only ever hears what they're doing wrong.

This is a conversation for the bedside nurse and the C-suite executive. For the credentialing specialist who never sees a patient and the clinical coordinator who sees dozens. Because in healthcare, everyone plays a role in the patient experience — and the way we lead people determines the care those people deliver.

If you've ever wondered whether your words are adding to your team or subtracting from them, this episode is your answer.

In this episode of Experiencing Healthcare, Jamie and Matt unpack a term that instantly hits home for people in healthcare: Productivity Dysmorphia—when you’re doing a lot, but it still feels like it’s never enough.

They explore why clinicians, leaders, and support teams often leave work exhausted yet feeling unproductive, how healthcare metrics can accidentally reinforce that feeling, and why stories and outcomes matter just as much as numbers. Matt offers a powerful reminder: your value isn’t the sum of your task list—and not everything meaningful is measurable.

On a cold January day in South Carolina, Jamie and Matt Staub unpack why focus is one of the most underrated leadership skills—especially in healthcare, where everything can feel urgent. They break down how leaders decide what deserves attention, how to “push pause” on non-emergencies, and why coaching people through problems is often more effective than absorbing them. The conversation also explores decision fatigue, the difference between being busy and being focused, the role of habits (including insights from Atomic Habits), and how boundaries protect the work that actually moves the mission forward. Along the way, they normalize attention struggles, reframe “failure” as part of growth, and offer practical ways to stay aligned to goals without losing empathy or accessibility.

What if problems weren’t something to avoid—but something to value? In this episode of Experiencing Healthcare, Jamie and Matt explore a powerful idea: Problems are Currency—but only when we stop pointing at them and start owning them. They break down how excuses form, why asking for help is a leadership strength, how to prioritize what matters most (not just what’s loudest), and how small wins create real momentum. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or hesitant to tackle a tough issue, this conversation will help you shift from reaction to resolution.
