You’re doing all the things.

Running from call to call, showing up at every pitch, every investor dinner, every headline tech week.

It feels like momentum—but is it?

In this episode, we unravel one of the most dangerous illusions in startup culture: mistaking chaos for progress.

1️⃣ Why “chronic busyness” is the new burnout badge

Founders are over-scheduling and chasing every shiny opportunity—not realizing it’s often a trauma pattern, not a growth strategy.

2️⃣The nervous system sabotage

Logic says yes, but your body says “not yet.” Learn how to recognize when founders appear ready but stall due to internal misalignment.

3️⃣The real reason founders delay getting help

It’s not because they’re too busy—it’s because they don’t want others to see the mess they’re hiding. Learn how fear of judgment fuels isolation.

4️⃣Emergency addiction is killing your culture

Discover how even high-functioning teams unknowingly build environments that thrive on urgency and drama—and how to reverse the cycle.

5️⃣Design your personal and business ecosystems for sustainable growth

Without strong support structures in your wellness, family, mentors, and partnerships, your business success will eventually collapse on itself.

6️⃣The mindset shift from ‘fix it myself’ to aligned collaboration

Your project doesn’t need a hero—it needs a container. Learn how to stop over-functioning and start scaling with true support.

In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Ronn Berrol to unpack how a single hospital pilot became a 21-site success story—not by replacing Epic, but by solving the one thing it couldn’t do well: surfacing the right data, at the right time, for the right patients. We dove deep into how high-risk patients can be flagged before they escalate into crisis, and how real-time data sharing across emergency departments can dramatically reduce admissions and improve flow. And the secret ingredient? A clinician champion who didn't wait for a committee to say yes—he created momentum from the floor up.

1.Don’t Confuse Your EHR with Strategic Insight Tools

Dr. Ronn shared how even the best EMRs like Epic can bury clinicians in data. What made a difference wasn’t more information—but surfacing the right information at the right time for high-risk patients.

2.Champions Create Change, Not Systems Alone

Technology alone didn’t earn trust. It was the clinicians—like Ronn—who piloted it, saw value, and advocated upward that drove full-scale adoption across 21 hospitals.

3.Pilot First, Scale Fast—But Only When It Works

Many hospitals hesitate to adopt new solutions unless a clear ROI is shown early. That’s why the original pilot funded by a hospital foundation was a turning point.

4.Care Coordination Starts Before the Crisis

With tools that flag social risks, housing instability, or medication lapses—this platform helped avoid ER boarding by addressing patients’ needs before they spiraled.

5.Modern Innovation Means Cross-Hospital Collaboration

Emergency departments often operate in silos. But the real breakthrough came from sharing real-time patient data across unaffiliated EDs.

6.You Don’t Need to Solve Everything—Just What Others Miss

What made this solution a win wasn’t trying to replace Epic—it filled the critical gap Epic couldn’t: surfacing actionable insights, fast.

Have you ever been the “first yes” that helped an innovation take off in your org?

Episode Timeline:

00:01:56 - How piloting EDO began through visibility gaps in local EDs.

00:03:51 - Clinical inefficiencies and the importance of care pathways.

00:05:50 - Workflow improvements reduced boarding and increased capacity.

00:07:53 - How a charitable foundation funded the pilot despite cost concerns.

00:09:37 - Dr. Ron contrasts EDO vs Epic and explains its push-not-pull advantage.

00:11:17 - EDO pushes key info in 30-45 seconds vs long EHR chart reviews.

00:13:42 - How EDO helps solve new CMS and system-wide goals.

00:17:26 - Dr. Ron expands on how lack of access causes overreliance on EDs.

00:21:48 - Key takeaway #1: EHR ≠ strategic insight tool.

00:22:17 - Key takeaway #2: Clinician champions drive change.

00:22:31 - Key takeaway #3: Pilot first, scale fast.

00:22:47 - Key takeaway #4: Coordinate care before crisis.

00:23:13 - Key takeaway #5: Share data across hospitals.

00:23:30 - Key takeaway #6: Fill the gap, don’t replace the system.

We keep saying we want value-based care. But why do most models still fall short?

In this episode, I sat down with Hamad Husainy, a clinician-turned-HealthTech leader at PointClickCare, to explore the hidden reasons value-based systems collapse—and what it actually takes to build one that works.

We unpacked why data timing, team collaboration, and cultural transformation—not just more tech—are essential to seamless care. Hamad brought real stories from the field and shared where most leaders miss the mark when scaling their care ecosystems.

The question isn’t: do you have the data?

It’s: are you using it at the right time, in the right hands, to prevent the wrong outcomes?

If you’ve ever felt like your solution should drive better results but doesn't get traction, this is your inside look at what investors, payers, and care leaders want next.

🔑 In this episode, you’ll learn:

🔹Why data delivery timing trumps data volume

🔹The ROI of interdisciplinary team workflows

🔹The cultural shifts needed to unlock true collaboration
