🎙️ Today, I’m joined by Pam Fox Rollin from the Stanford MBA Class of 1995 and Pragati Rastogi from the Class of 2025.
Pam is a renowned executive coach and strategist, partnering with C-level leaders and top teams to drive bold, integrated change. With deep roots in healthcare, strategy, and leadership development, Pam brings a rare mix of analytical precision and human insight to the world’s most complex organizations.
Pragati is a second-year MBA student and former strategy consultant who has worked across India, the Middle East, and Africa to expand healthcare access. At Stanford, she’s leading a Global Study Trip to Taiwan and Singapore focused on healthcare equity, while exploring how technology and AI are reshaping the sector.
Together, we explore how healthcare has evolved over the last 30 years, how today’s students are redefining leadership, and what it really means to integrate strategy, humanity, and meaning in a rapidly shifting world.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
