One of the biggest issues in healthcare is that it has become a profit-driven industry. Healthcare should be separate from profits. I understand that hospitals are businesses and they need to make money, but once care delivery is following a path to maximum profit, patients’ health starts to suffer.

In the investment industry, there are two goals: 1) assets in and 2) retain those assets. So, everything they encourage you to to is in light of those two goals first and any of your goals secondarily. This is my opinion.

We are in the midst of what many in corporate circles are calling the “Great Resignation.” I prefer to call it the “Great Transformation.” People are transitioning jobs at an alarming rate. The question is, “Why?” The cascading events of the last two years have caused many people to re-evaluate their lives. A global pandemic, and resulting outfall, caused most people to reconsider what was really important to them. No longer are they satisfied working in an unfulfilling job, nor are they tolerant of toxic cultures. They are tired of throwing their time away simply making more money for an organization.
