AI Can't Fix a Broken Process

What Is Worth Fighting For?

In this episode, I sit down with Corey Feldman, entrepreneur, veteran, EMT, and CEO of Protego Health, to talk about healthcare, AI, military service, and what changes when life forces you to rethink what matters. On paper, this conversation spans denied claims, startup growth, emergency medicine, and combat experience. But underneath all of it is a much simpler question: What does it mean to fight for people? Whether Corey is helping physicians navigate insurance denials, treating patients during medical emergencies, or serving alongside fellow reservists in combat, the throughline remains remarkably consistent: Protect people who cannot protect themselves. And do it without losing sight of their humanity.

You Don't Have to Have It All Figured Out

In this episode, I sit down with Mfon Akpan, accounting professor, mentor, and lifelong learner, to talk about career paths, confidence, and the surprising power of trying things before you're sure they're right for you. What stood out to me most about this conversation is how often our assumptions turn out to be wrong. We think we know what we'll enjoy. We think we know what we're good at. We think we know what opportunities matter. And sometimes we're right. But often, the experiences that shape our lives begin with a simple willingness to say yes before we have everything figured out.

The Pain of Discipline or the Pain of Regret

In this episode, I sit down with Brian Colao, attorney, advisor, and one of the leading experts on healthcare and dental service organization compliance in the country. While much of our conversation focuses on healthcare regulations, corporate practice laws, and business structure, the deeper lesson is much broader than compliance. It's about discipline. Brian has spent decades helping organizations navigate complex legal and operational challenges. And over and over again, he's seen the same pattern: The problems that seem expensive to prevent often become far more expensive to fix.  Whether you're building a healthcare company, leading a business, or making decisions in your personal life, this conversation is a reminder that shortcuts often create the very pain we're trying to avoid.

Why the Best Companies Feel Like Communities

In this episode, I sit down with Alex Sharp, CEO of Shared Practices Group, to talk about leadership, culture, healthcare, and what it really takes to build something that lasts. Alex leads a rapidly growing dental organization spanning more than 20 states, but what stood out to me wasn't the business strategy. It was the philosophy. Because according to Alex, there's a big difference between a group of people and a community. A group of people simply works together. A community is united by a shared purpose. And when people believe in the mission, the work becomes about something bigger than themselves.

AI Can't Fix a Broken Process

In this episode, I sit down with Nabeel Siddiqui, AI leader, product strategist, and Head of Tech and Automation at SAP Digital, to talk about one of the biggest misconceptions surrounding AI today. Most people think AI is the solution. Nabeel believes that's the wrong place to start. What matters first is understanding the process, the people, and the problem you're actually trying to solve. Because technology can accelerate a good system. But it can't rescue a broken one.
