In this episode, we welcome Whitney Meyerhoeffer, MPA, CAE, director of communications and chapter relations with the American Mental Health Counselors Association, for a wide-ranging conversation about leadership, authenticity, and the power of mission-driven work. Whitney reflects on how her early advocacy efforts and rural upbringing in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley laid the foundation for her leadership style—grounded in hard work, innovation, and integrity. She shares practical insights into navigating the ever-evolving world of social media for nonprofits, emphasizing the importance of genuine engagement over perfection. We also dive into her commitment to building inclusive workplace cultures through transparency, respect, and trust, and get a behind-the-scenes look at exciting projects on the horizon at AMHCA, including a new journal platform and a strategic focus on data to better serve members.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
