Welcome to the very first episode of The HumanUp Imperative, a show about re-centering human connection in an industry that often forgets it—healthcare.
In this premiere episode, host Rex Wallace sits down with Todd Ray, a standout executive leader in government healthcare programs, to explore what it really means to lead with purpose, humility, and impact.
Todd oversees some of the most complex programs in healthcare, including Medicare Star Ratings. But what makes him exceptional isn’t just the outcomes—it’s how he shows up. He’s a leader who asks hard questions, empowers his team, and elevates others through trust, humor, and curiosity.
🎧 In this episode, we explore:
Why human engagement is the missing ingredient in organizational success
The fine line between confidence and arrogance—and how to stay on the right side of it
How to lead without micromanaging, especially in matrixed environments
The power of curiosity, asking questions, and building a culture of trust
Personal leadership philosophies like “Don’t panic” and “Make a difference”
How to stay calm under pressure—and help others do the same
💡 Whether you're an executive, a team leader, or just someone who believes we can bring more humanity to healthcare and business, this episode will leave you inspired and equipped.
