  • Dr. Andrew Pope, M.D. on Stem Cell Therapy and Changing the Way Health Care is Delivered

    Send us Fan Mail

    Dr. Andrew Pope is a native of Kansas and attended the University of Kansas for his undergraduate training, where he graduated with honors with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Bachelor of Arts in Biology. Dr. Pope was then able to fulfill his passion for medicine by obtaining his Medical Doctorate from the University of Kansas School of Medicine.

    Raised in a small town, Dr. Pope stayed true to his roots and pursued a Residency in Primary Care at Via Christi Family Medicine through the University of Kansas.  He was trained to provide comprehensive care, which included Obstetrics with Caesarean Section, Colonoscopy, EGD, Inpatient care, and Outpatient care.

    Upon completion of his Residency, he joined nine other physicians in a busy private practice in Manhattan, Kansas, where he provided a wide spectrum of care to all ages. Since then, Dr. Pope has opened his own direct primary concierge practice, BlueFire Med.

    In addition to Direct Primary Care, Dr. Pope also has a passion for using regenerative cell therapy to help patients. In 2014, Dr Pope and Kansas Regenerative Medicine began treating patients using the patient’s own Adult Stem Cells.  They also use PRP, which is Platelet Rich Plasma, which uses a patients cells to reduce inflammation and improve healing.  

    In his free time, Dr. Pope enjoys providing care at the local free health clinic, as well as various outdoor hobbies including golf, basketball, and the upkeep on his ranch. He also dedicates a majority of his time outside of work to his wife and young children.

    In this episode we discuss:

    * My stem cell theapy story
    * Regenerative Medicine
    * Direct Primary Concierge Practices (subscription-based health care model)
    * Changing the way health care is delivered

  • Actress/Model & Transformational/Mindset Coach Louise Ashby On Turning Trauma into Triumph, Pain into Purpose

    Send us Fan Mail

    With an amazing life story full of twists of fate, actress and model Louise Ashby is a remarkable woman who, facing monumental obstacles beat the odds. The radical changes that Louise was forced to endure did not dis-empower her. To the contrary, she steadfastly pursued her lifelong goals and found success. This story is one of strength and hope, an affirmation of human willpower in the face of tragedy.

    After tragedy and a life altering accident that took her face, Louise attributes her healing and return to her life to the tools and practices she had to develop in order to do what the doctors said wasn’t possible. Some of these were daily meditations and visualizations of herself as “whole and healthy.” All of her seven doctors told her it wasn’t possible but she wouldn’t take no for an answer and continued visualizing. Today her doctors use her story when they lecture, about how she didn’t have room for doubt in her recovery and that is why she is in the position she’s in. Her face is fixed and her spirit strong.

    Today Louise is working on her new coaching programs helping women transform their lives as well as guiding them through challenges and how their mindset matters. Most recently Louise did her first TedX Talk.

  • Dr. Rola Hallam on How Changing the World Starts by Changing Ourselves, Debunking the Myth of Compassion Fatigue, and Helping People Who are Suffering from Burnout and Trauma

    Send us Fan Mail

    Rola was born a doctor.

    She just didn't know that her home-country of Syria would shatter into a million pieces, killing over 30 members of her family and that she would wield her voice, stethoscope and humanity as weapons greater than bullets and bombs.

    Dr Rola is a multi award-winning physician, humanitarian, campaigner, speaker, social entrepreneur and coach. She's the first Syrian TED Fellow and the founder of CanDo - a humanitarian organization supporting frontline health and aid workers to save children’s lives in their war-devastated communities.

    She has helped build 7 hospitals in Syria, including the first ever crowdfunded hospital, all together serving over 4 million people. As a global advocate for health and human-rights in conflict, she has shared the stages with presidents, celebrities and grassroots activists. She is a TED and Google speaker, and her work has featured in most media from the New York Times to The Daily Show including two BBC documentaries. Her online talks have been seen over 11 million times, inspiring thousands to become change-makers.

    Rola believes the world needs more visionaries, idealists, rebels and troublemakers- people who stand up, speak out and lead for change. She is on a mission to make this a reality, to support people facing illness, injustice and indifference and not just survive but thrive. She thinks the corporate world holds the keys to epic change. After recovering from burnout and trauma, Dr Rola emerged a warrior embodying the power of Rumi’s poetry “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I Am changing myself”
