And I want to talk a little bit about kind of this evolution of the podcast and what'schanged.
like originally when I had the idea, I thought it was going to be very B2B focused, likebusiness to business, just industry people.
And then I quickly realized, and this was when we were getting, when we were doing likeall the hustle when I was like laid off last year and started realizing that there's a ton
(00:34):
of podcasts out there that are for industry people.
And mostly
And we were like, wait a minute, we need a podcast for the people, right?
But there's also a lot of people that we've brought on and interviews that are kind of foreverybody, right?
Like you can be for both.
So I think that's what makes us different.
(00:54):
And then I love that that has that, that has been a big part of the evolution.
We've got people who can be listening, who are business people in the healthcare industry.
We've got doctors, right?
Like providers, clinicians, and then we've got like the real people, right?
Like the
The regular people on the street.
The yous and mes of the world.
(01:18):
This is the most exciting time to be in healthcare.
have been in this industry since 2002.
Sounds like what?
My three years?
Yeah.
Math for me, Jeremy.
Yeah.
I just had to hesitate because it seems like yesterday, but yeah, 23 years since 2002.
Actually, I wasn't even in Arizona yet.
That's a long time ago.
Yeah.
So, you know, things have changed.
(01:39):
There's a lot of just a lot of cool, innovative stuff happening.
And I think, I don't know, I'm just, feeling this shift in, in the industry and the kindof healthcare universe, how it's accessed, how you choose to experience it, what kind of
things are out there.
So it's really, I don't know.
It's cool.
This is like the best time that I could have ever launched this podcast with you.
(02:05):
There is so much opportunity that we have out there around health care that no one's everreally tapped into, like from this perspective.
Right.
Like it's not because we're not a business podcast.
Right.
We I mean, we certainly serve people who are in the industry.
Yeah, but they gotta be doing something cool that we think is gonna help people.
(02:26):
Yeah, like during the talk, and we're going to talk about it differently.
The conversation is going to be different.
We're not here to really ultimately promote somebody's product.
We're here to talk about what are the problems in the universe of healthcare?
What, what ails us?
And how, is the solution to fix that?
And, by the way, we happen to have an expert here today to talk about it.
(02:50):
So I think just approaching, approaching it in this way versus
putting the name of the product and the name of the person in our podcast title.
We don't do that.
We talk about the issue and what the problem they are solving for in the podcast titles.
So we've been in development of these kind of 15 to 20 minute episodes.
(03:16):
The, you know, kind of the doctor is in like just enough information about what's an HSAversus an HRA.
What's a PPO versus an HMO.
Tell me about Medicare part A, part B, part C.
Let's dig into Medicaid and what, you know, the impacts of Medicaid are and actually howMedicaid works, right?
I only understood about half of that, so yeah, that sounds like some good episodes tomake.
(03:40):
Yeah.
And like wellness benefits that you might get through your employer.
There's a lot of different things, just basic stuff, Like how would premiums versusdeductibles versus out of pockets?
Like this isn't innovation at all.
Like that's not innovation, but
teaching people the real language of healthcare so they know how to steer through themess.
(04:00):
But educating is a big goal of ours, and I think that's one of our number one missions.
And then I think the other kind of areas that we are going to explore a little bit moredeeply, we're already been recording and already have some other episodes that are
(04:21):
scheduled that we haven't recorded yet, but focusing on a whole series around holistichealth and wellness.
So I'm talking about sound therapy, Reiki, breath work, Lucielite, that's kind of in thepsychedelic space too, in the mental health space.
I did get a request for some light therapy stuff.
Yeah, light therapy, meditation, yoga even, right?
(04:44):
I love doing sound therapy.
I've done breath work.
It's amazing.
So bringing some of my own instructors or practitioners on that I've worked with, soexcited to build up that series.
We're also doing a few around pharmaceuticals, which we haven't touched on yet.
So getting into the pharmaceutical space.
(05:07):
What stands out to me is episode 19, ending endometriosis.
The producer has a job.
Julia Boliver with Endo Forte.
See I would never remember your name, but I remember the episode number.
That's why we're a team But I mean putting endometriosis entry mission without surgery.
That's huge.
Yeah, I Personally know and I didn't know this until after we did that episode Ipersonally know a lot of women who have had a lot of problems from that Yeah, and that's
(05:37):
just the ones I know
super common.
think everyone knows somebody.
I remember the stat, it's 1 in 7 women.
So you definitely do, whether you know it or not.
like everyone knows multiple women with endometriosis.
That one episode can help all of them.
(06:49):
This has been a Shut Up Production.
And I want to talk a little bit about kind of this evolution of the podcast and what'schanged.
