Welcome our guests today, Carolyn Pritchard, co-founder of Bridge Medical Communications in Toronto, Canada.  Today’s episode, “How one nurse’s adventurous spirit lead her to empower others.”

 

I interview nurses who are business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders. I want to hear inspiring stories from the nurse next door who is making a difference in the entrepreneurial and business space. My mission is for you to own your seat at the table of nurse entrepreneurship, gaining confidence, skills, and freedom to live your life on your own terms. You will dream big and expand your consciousness as an entrepreneur.- Tina Baxter, Show Host and Founder of The Nurse Shark Academy.

About Carolyn Pritchard

Carolyn Pritchard is on a mission to improve patient care.

She is a spirited advocate who has been working to improve people’s experiences in the healthcare system for more than twenty years.

Extroverted and energetic, Carolyn has always been motivated by serving others. She’s a relationship builder with a knack for connecting people and making them feel cared for. Her North Star—to improve the patient experience—makes her a skilled negotiator and fuels her drive to get things done.

In her previous career as a Registered Nurse and her current role as a trusted leader in healthcare communications, she’s worked with people from every corner of the field: large pharmaceutical companies, emergency-room physicians, individual patients and everyone in between. She knows the gaps better than most and wakes up every day to fill them.

She co-founded Bridge Medical Communications with her business partner, Lorie Spence, to do just that. For over a decade, they have delivered empathetic, effective information about crucial medical therapies and procedures to the people who need it most.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
