E197 | AI Won’t Replace Your Doctor’s Front Desk — It’ll Save It | Oakkar Oakkar, Keona Health
He was bleeding through his shirt, called six doctors' offices, and not one of them picked up. That single moment — not a whiteboard session, not a pitch deck — is why Oakkar Oakkar built Keona Health.Oakkar is the CEO of Keona Health, an AI engineer, a surfer, and a jiu-jitsu dad who's spent over a decade trying to fix the most overlooked part of healthcare: what happens before you ever see a doctor. In this conversation, we get into why patient access is a 23-million-pathway problem, why most "AI wrapper" tools fail patients at the exact moment it matters most, and what surfing and jiu-jitsu taught him about building through years of "we thought this would take way less time than it did."If you've ever been stuck on hold, transferred five times, or repeated your symptoms to four different people — this episode is for you.🕐 TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Introduction: Why access is where healthcare actually starts04:14 – What surfing taught Oakkar about patience, chaos, and control07:56 – The origin story: how Keona Health actually started14:16 – "We thought it'd take a few years."

E196: The VC Who Spent 20 Years Grilling CEOs on Wall Street | Bryan Hunt
Bryan Hunt, CFA, General Partner at Relevance Ventures, joins host Michael Stamatinos on the Advancing Healthcare Innovation Show to break down what two decades of grilling CEOs on Wall Street taught him about spotting the founders who are built to last, why he'd rather back a missionary than a mercenary, and how a $6-psychiatrist startup grew to 800 in five years by solving access instead of chasing headlines.For over twenty years, Bryan Hunt sat on the other side of the table from CEOs, founders, and leadership teams as one of Wall Street's top-ranked analysts at Wells Fargo Securities, asking the question that actually matters: is this a great story, or is this a great business? He's since moved to the other side of that table entirely, investing in healthcare, medical technology, and wellness companies through Relevance Ventures.In this episode, Bryan and Michael get into the framework Bryan uses to separate missionaries from mercenaries, the origin story behind Talkiatry, a telepsychiatry company that scaled from six psychiatrists to 800 in five years after its founder couldn't get access to his own mental health care, and the investing mistake that made background checks a permanent part of Relevance's process. Bryan also shares the founder story behind Chobani, why nearly half of early-stage venture bets fail, and the economics behind why preventative medicine may be the biggest untapped opportunity left in American healthcare.⏱ TIMESTAMPS0:00 — Introduction: Who is Bryan Hunt and what is Relevance Ventures?3:57 — Two decades on Wall Street: what 20 years of grilling CEOs teaches you6:42 — Missionaries vs. mercenaries: the filter Bryan uses to evaluate every founder9:15 — Inside Talkiatry: from 6 psychiatrists to 800 in five years15:31 — Spotting an exceptional CEO: obvious immediately, or does it take time?19:40 — Visionary or just confident?

Three out of every four healthcare workers are burning out. And it's not for the reason you think.Dr. Katherine Meese spent 15 years building the science that most healthcare leaders have never had access to. In this episode, she sits down with Michael Stamatinos to challenge everything the industry thinks it knows about why its people are leaving and what it actually takes to keep them.This is not a burnout episode. This is an episode about systems. About trust. About the human margin.Before Katherine became the leading voice on healthcare workforce in America, she started her career in oil and gas — working across 10 countries on four continents.Why does an industry built entirely on human beings treat its people worse than the oil industry treats its equipment?Katherine breaks down the real answer, and it will change how you lead.TIMESTAMPS01:45 — The 75% burnout stat every leader needs to sit with04:42 — Katherine's background and why she jumped from oil and gas to healthcare07:34 — The 30-hour shift moment that changed her career trajectory09:37 — The paradox: why the most mission-driven industry has the worst track record for its own people11:21 — What the research actually showed was causing burnout (it was not what anyone expected)13:56 — The 6 drivers of burnout across industries and why workload is only one of them17:21 — The game of telephone inside organizations and the cost of misalignment19:51 — The one question every leader should be asking their managers right now22:01 — "What matters to me is safe with you" — the most powerful definition of trust in healthcare24:34 — Where the phrase Human Margin came from and why it needs to sit alongside financial margin26:37 — The eyeball story and the physician CEO who finally got it28:40 — The two types of leaders Katherine cannot reach (and one of them will surprise you)31:24 — Genfluence: the biggest myth about Gen Z in the healthcare workforce33:22 — The iPhone, social media, and the rewiring of an entire generation's brain36:39 — Disrespect as the number one predictor of toxic culture38:03 — Stereotype threat and how words alone can actually change performance41:37 — The formula for shutting down gossip and toxic behavior on your team44:50 — The bucket vs. the umbrella: the mindset shift that changes everything for frontline leadersIN THIS EPISODEWhy resilience training is not the answer — and what the data actually shows is driving burnoutThe six factors that cause burnout across industries (and why leaders only fix one of them)How to measure workforce health beyond turnover numbersWhy trust in senior leadership is now predicting more than trust in direct supervisorsThe selective filtering problem inside organizations and how to fix itWhat Gen Z is actually dealing with and why calling them fragile misses the science entirelyThe stereotype threat research that proves words change performanceABOUT DR. KATHERINE MEESEKatherine Meese, PhD is an award-winning researcher, author, and CEO of HUmargin Group. She has spent over 15 years studying healthcare workforce, organizational behavior, and what it actually takes to keep people well inside complex health systems.
