INBW40: Thank Yous and the Intersection of Product Value, Collaboration, and Being a "Giver"

In this special Thanksgiving episode of Relentlessly Seeking Value, Stacey Richter discusses the significance of being 'givers' in healthcare, advocating for collaboration over transactional relationships to deliver real value to patients.

She touches on the challenges and necessary shifts in healthcare market dynamics, emphasizing that true value is determined through bi-directional conversations between providers and end-users, like patients and plan sponsors. Stacey concludes with a call to action for listeners to reflect on their support networks and consider supporting valuable media and publications.

I want to drop a thank you right here to those who have left a tip in our tip jar and/or offer up a monthly contribution. From the bottom of my heart, thanks for the support. Thank you to Dr. Scott Tromanhauser, Marilyn Bartlett, Ann Kempski, Dr. Matthew Bunte. Also, thank you to Brian Uhlig, Dr. William Gailmard, Dr. John Lee, Dr. Paula Muto, and Linda Krebs.

Plus everyone else who left a lesser amount. You guys are my village, and this matters because, as it's been said by me and others a million times, it will take a village to transform healthcare. So, if you haven't already done so, because … yeah, Thanksgiving, consider who is on your own list of villagers to thank right about now in your world.

So, yeah, long story long, all the more thanks to everyone who has donated to our tip jar, who has written a nice review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, or who interacts with our posts on LinkedIn. Thank you.

This is how pods like this and any of the publications that you like are able to continue. It's also, if you want to get really "why do givers succeed" about it, it's through these interactions that like 99% of guests I'd estimate who get invited on a podcast, probably any podcasts, come from, or who likely get their name in any publication come from. As I said, this is true for this pod at least. But I would say that who are most hosts or most reporters going to reach out to when they need information or insight and are looking to quote somebody?

It's gonna be somebody that they know. It's gonna be somebody that they like.

So, giving, the healthcare industry. This is the actual point I wanted to make before I completely distracted myself. And I talked about this at length actually at a recent thINc360 panel about delivering better patient outcomes.

So, collaborate, give. And thank you to all of you who do both of these things every day, despite the cognitive dissonance and corporate forces and the lack of time and resources that may plague your efforts. I appreciate you very, very much. And it is this gang—the Relentless Tribe, that listens to this show—it is you who will transform healthcare. It's really you. And again, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you.
