Starting Over and Finding Community

40 minutes

What does it actually take to build community as an adult, especially when you’re starting over?

In this episode, I sit down with Bob Krinsky, who made a bold decision after more than 30 years in San Francisco to move to New York and begin a completely new chapter. What stands out is not just the move, but how intentional he has been about creating community from scratch.

Bob shares how he went from having an established life and network to actively rebuilding connection in a new city. From joining running clubs and improv classes to hosting gatherings and mentoring young musicians, he shows what it really looks like to put yourself out there.

We talk about the discomfort that comes with reaching out, the mindset required to push past self-doubt, and why so many people struggle to build meaningful connections even though they know it matters.

This conversation is a reminder that community doesn’t just happen. It’s something we choose to create.

If you’re navigating a transition, feeling disconnected, or simply thinking about how to build deeper relationships in your life, this episode is for you.

Bob Krinsky Bio:

In August, 2002, Bob set out to create a growth strategy and healthcare innovation consulting firm to serve the healthcare ecosystem from the inside out. His ambition from day one was to help visionary leaders accelerate transformative growth while improving the patient, caregiver and care-team experience.

The promise of delivering "strategy with a twist" has guided this vision for the past 24 years. Under Bob's leadership, The Krinsky Company (TKC) was named a 2022 Top Ten Healthcare Consulting Firm by Healthcare Business Review. The firm, now 30 strong, is a highly diverse, global team of incredibly bright, strategic and creative consulting professionals. Bob is most proud of the culture he has created, the clients whose trust TKC has earned and the impact TKC is having across the ecosystem.

Now in its 3rd season, "The Game-Changing Women of Healthcare" podcast, shares the untold stories of risk taking, perseverance, vision and leadership required to change the game in this highly regulated, high stakes industry. Now in its fourth year, "The Healthcare Logistics Think Tank / Do Tank" pulls together a community of over 150 C-level leaders from across the ecosystem for monthly exchanges of ideas and best practice sharing. The HLTT/DT was established to accelerate innovation and foster multi-vendor partnering by focusing on the untapped lens of Healthcare Logistics broadly defined. Today, 25 healthcare system CIOs, executive leaders from over 25 medtech/healthcare IT companies and healthcare consulting and service providers including KLAS, HIMSS and CHIME are fully engaged.

TKC also boasts an active community of over 500+ Key Opinion Leaders from across the ecosystem who are regularly tapped for advisory communities to support client engagements.

Even more important to Bob than his career accomplishments, he is the very engaged and proud father to Harry (31) and Leo (26).
