What does it actually take to create lasting change inside a hospital?

In this episode of Don't Miss the Conversation, Sam sits down with longtime cath lab educator Judy Mollo, whose 48-year nursing career helped shape one of the most collaborative cardiovascular teams in Central Florida.

Together they explore how healthcare teams can challenge outdated traditions, build trust across disciplines, improve education, and advocate for better patient care without creating unnecessary conflict.

Judy shares behind-the-scenes stories about helping transform the cath lab from a nurse-centered model into a truly collaborative environment where nurses, cardiovascular technologists, radiologic technologists, respiratory therapists, paramedics, and physicians all worked together as equals toward one goal: excellent patient outcomes.

They discuss:
• How to advocate for change when you're not in leadership
• Building trust between nurses, physicians, and technologists
• Why education should never become an afterthought
• Creating standardized onboarding that builds confidence
• Finding champions who can help move change forward
• The role of respect, competency, and communication in high-performing healthcare teams
• Why collaboration—not hierarchy—creates better patient care
Whether you're a nurse, cardiovascular technologist, educator, physician, healthcare leader, or simply passionate about improving healthcare culture, this conversation offers practical lessons you can apply in any clinical setting.
Sometimes the biggest changes begin with one conversation.

Starting your first healthcare job is exciting... until the responsibility becomes real.

In this episode of Don't Miss the Conversation, Sam sits down with two former cardiovascular technology students who are now working as RCIS professionals in busy cath labs. Together, they unpack the emotional reality of transitioning from student to healthcare provider, navigating imposter syndrome, surviving emergency cases, finding confidence under pressure, and learning that career growth is rarely a straight line.

Whether you're considering a career in cardiovascular technology, nursing, cath lab, interventional radiology, or simply navigating your own first years in any profession, this conversation is an honest look at what growth really feels like.

You'll hear stories about life-saving procedures, difficult patient moments, career transitions, learning to speak up, and discovering that confidence comes through experience—not before it.

Everyone celebrates nonprofits for the impact they make. Very few people understand what it actually takes to build one.

In this episode of Don't Miss the Conversation, Sam sits down with sisters Hannah Keime and Bethany Keime, founders of HeartCharged, to uncover the realities of nonprofit leadership, patient advocacy, fundraising, and building an organization that's changing lives.

Diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) as teenagers and living with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), Hannah and Bethany transformed their personal health journey into a nonprofit dedicated to preventing sudden cardiac arrest, supporting heart patients, and advocating for lifesaving education and legislation.

Together, they share the business lessons few nonprofit founders talk about:

• the financial sacrifices
• the emotional toll of advocacy
• setting boundaries
• learning to say no
• building credibility as young leaders
• why visibility doesn't always translate into funding

Whether you're considering starting a nonprofit, already leading one, or simply want to become a better supporter of organizations making a difference, this conversation offers practical wisdom and an honest look behind the scenes.
