Episode notes

"There are things that happen in the fire and emergency medical space that are given terms. And a term is a frequent flyer," he says. "I've had several frequent flyers where if you did this on just a four pack of shifts, you're going to get untruths for maybe weeks, maybe even months,. Maybe even six months of what's really going on." He adds: "You can do a lot of things here, or you could spend time seeking context with what is actually going on"

Have you ever had an experience where you were able to get out of your head and into the head of another person and discover the richness that is possible, the relationship that follows, and the depth of connection? In today's episode, we have part one of a two-part conversation with Nate Walkingshaw. He's a passionate investor and a serial entrepreneur. He's been tremendously successful with an obsession with solving systemic problems. He began his life as an EMT and while responding to life-threatening emergencies, he recognized the need for a safer, faster patient transport system. And the products he helped to create in that first startup are now used by 70% of the world's hospitals. He went on to become the chief experience officer of Pluralsight and totally transformed the way that that whole organization thinks about people listening, understanding each other, and being able to work together in a deep and connected way. By the end of today's episode, you will have a clearer sense of the rich opportunity you have to be able to enter the world of another.
