Overview

I created The Healthcare Hustle Podcast with two friends of mine, Nygel & Brandon, as we all found ourselves as young administrators at a major academic medical center in the midwest. We desired a space in which we could talk with leaders that looked like us, outside the boardroom, about topics related to patients and colleagues that looked like us.

Taking advantage of our network, what started as a project highlighting the careers of leaders of color, grew into a platform that amplified all of the ways our communities are innovating .. and leading, to provide the care we need. Check out some of favorite episodes below, and full episodes here.

Greater Health Pharmacy & Wellness

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Kenneth Powell Jr., Pharmacy Manager and Pharmacist in Charge at GreaterHealth Pharmacy & Wellness in St. Louis, Missouri, a Black-owned start-up dedicated to providing culturally responsive care.

Leading with Your Humanity

In this episode we chat with Mikel Whittier, Director of Health Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion at UCLA Health in Los Angeles, California. This a great conversation in which we discuss the true meaning of hospitals as “anchor institutions” in community.
