Instagram Is Not Your Pharmacist: The Peptide Misinformation Problem
In this first episode of a three-part series, Jamie sits down with Dr. Melissa Jones — a 25-year clinical pharmacist and VP at Your Health — to cut through the noise on one of the most talked-about (and most misunderstood) topics in health today: peptides. The single most important thing you'll take away is this: peptides aren't a trend, they aren't steroids, and the safest place to start isn't Instagram — it's a conversation with your provider.

The Ambassadors: Purpose Path in Action
Rebecca Dillard, Eddie Caldwell, Whitney Myers, and Stephanie Martin join Jamie to unpack Your Health's new Ambassador program — a 36-person volunteer network built on the belief that leadership is influence, not authority, and that colleague experience is the real foundation of patient experience. They share how the program's five-part framework — Observe, Encourage, Celebrate, Listen, Connect — is reshaping hiring, everyday conversations, and the culture itself, one “tell me more” at a time.

Data Driven Outcomes Part 2 with Brodie Wall
In Part 2 of this conversation, Brody Wall takes Jamie inside the daily reality of data-driven care at Your Health — from the remote weight monitoring that catches a congestive heart failure patient before five extra pounds of fluid becomes a Monday ER visit, to the staff scheduling data that revealed a weekend coverage gap no one had seen with the naked eye. The number that lands hardest: proactively caring for 800 patients costs $800,000 — while waiting for those same patients to be hospitalized costs $16 million.

Data Driven Outcomes with Brodie Wall
In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Jamie sits down with Brody Wall — Division President of Operations at Your Health — to unpack why America's healthcare system is fundamentally designed to respond to illness rather than prevent it, and what it took to build a data infrastructure that could finally change that. The most surprising finding: it wasn't the most medically complex patients driving the highest ER costs — it was patients with four or more behavioral health conditions, who were ten times more likely to have multiple emergency room visits.

Building Interns Who Build the Company with Heather Bower
Heather Bower, Your Health's new Director of Experiential Learning, joins Jamie to unpack how a revitalized internship program is turning early-career talent into the organization's future leaders — with nearly 30 interns in a single summer cohort and a four-day intensive orientation that treats every intern as a contributor, not a seat-filler. The takeaway: when an organization gives interns real ownership, real projects, and real stakes from day one, the pipeline stops being aspirational and becomes proof that where you start has nothing to do with where you finish.

Let's Get Political, with Dr. Jimmie Williamson
Dr. Jimmy Williamson, Vice President of the South Carolina Chapter of NASW, joins Jamie fresh off a Capitol Hill lobbying trip to break down three pieces of legislation that could reshape the healthcare workforce — and make the case for why every frontline employee has a stake in the political process. The most important takeaway: staying silent isn't neutral, it's a choice — and it's costing patients, professionals, and the entire system.

Trust, On Schedule With Whitney Dillard and Alexis Reuter
Whitney Dillard and Alexis Reuter join the show to reveal how a custom-built scheduling tool replaced zip-code guesswork and surprise visits with geolocated, month-in-advance care across 6,500 biweekly patient appointments. The takeaway: when patients know exactly when their provider is coming, scheduling stops being a logistics problem and becomes the foundation of trust, family involvement, and truly proactive care.

What If Your Company Trained You to Outgrow Your Job?
Jamie sits down with educator Aubrey Wall, who oversees Your Health University, to unpack how a value-based care organization turns continuous learning into a genuine competitive advantage — from Department of Labor apprenticeships to a proprietary resource hub to an AI assistant named Leah. The throughline: when an organization invests in people without strings attached, growth becomes the culture, not the perk — even if it means equipping employees to one day move on.

Christopher Laffey, NP: What Happens When Healthcare Follows You Home
Nurse Practitioner Christopher Laffey pulls back the curtain on what truly patient-centered, value-based care looks like in practice — driving between homes in North Charleston, coordinating real-time with therapists and social workers, catching crises before they become hospitalizations. The most powerful insight from this episode: healthcare outcomes are driven just as much by coordination, trust, and someone showing up at your door as they are by any prescription ever written.

Afraid of the Unknown with Dr. Jimmie Williamson
In this episode, Jamie sits down with Dr. Jimmie Williamson, Chief Behavioral Health Officer at Your Health, to unpack the psychology of change — from the neuroscience of fight-or-flight to the emotional stages people move through during workplace transitions, mergers, and major life shifts. Dr. Williamson's defining insight: change isn't the enemy — uncertainty is, and the sooner leaders answer "how does this affect me?" the sooner people can stop spiraling and start growing.
