  • The Merger with Matt Staub
    Jun 23 2026

    What if the patient never noticed the merger at all? For Matt Staub, that's not a failure — it's the goal.

    In this episode, Your Health CEO Matt Staub sits down with Jamie to talk through the company's merger with TCPA and Providence Care — a move that brings together similar footprints in primary care, palliative, hospice, skilled nursing, and assisted living across South Carolina and Georgia. As a 23-year healthcare veteran going through his first merger, Matt is candid about the tedious due-diligence "earnest money" phase, the EMR transitions ahead, and why he refuses to let "what could go wrong" crowd out "what could go right."

    You'll hear:

    • Why "mass moves mass" — and what scale actually buys patients in care management and data analytics
    • How Your Health breaks 50,000 patients into groups, teams, and "hubs" so no one falls through the cracks
    • The "change is hard" philosophy and the discipline of productive (not just effective) communication
    • How the spirit of agape — godly love — still threads through a company that's evolved far past its original name
    • What success looks like in six months: patient retention, mission and margin

    If you lead through change — or live through it — this one will reframe how you think about getting bigger without losing what made you matter.

  • Matt Goes To The Capital
    Jun 16 2026

    What if the most important care in the entire healthcare system is also the most underfunded? While hospitals and inpatient reimbursements rise with inflation, the physician fee schedule has quietly declined roughly 33% in real terms over 25 years — and this year it's facing another cut.

    In this episode, Jamie Preston sits down with Your Health CEO Matt Staub, just back from Capitol Hill, where he spent a record-setting 95-degree day meeting with seven legislative offices to advocate for physicians, providers, and the patients they serve across rural South Carolina, Georgia, and beyond. What follows is part field report, part reflection on why preventive primary care saves money and lives — and why we plan meticulously for weddings, retirement, and vacations, but treat our own health with a "call us if something happens" approach.

    In this conversation:

    • Why a 2.5–5% physician fee cut hits frontline rural practices hardest
    • The bipartisan doctors' caucus and the real appetite for reform
    • Why winning can come from a loss — the Kobe Bryant mindset on process over outcome
    • How a Disney ride (Spaceship Earth) reframes humanity's whole story around communication
    • The case for proactive, team-based primary care over reactive sick visits

    Press play for a conversation about advocacy, communication, and a simple, powerful idea: the change you need to make starts with you.

  • What If You Don't Train Them — and They Stay?
    Apr 24 2026

    "What if you train them and they leave?" It's the fear that quietly keeps most healthcare leaders from investing in their people. Matt Staub — CEO of Your Health — wants you to sit with the question his mentor once asked in return: What if you don't train them, and they stay?

    In this episode, Matt joins Jamie Preston for a conversation about why workforce education isn't a perk at Your Health — it's the culture. From nationally accredited apprenticeships, to a training pipeline built out of a licensing crisis, to the real people behind the success stories, this is a blueprint for leaders who want to grow something that lasts.

    Key topics covered:

    • The lumberjack story: why sharpening your axe beats swinging harder every time
    • How a shortage of licensed administrators became the catalyst for Your Health's training engine
    • The shift from "education happens on your own time" to "this is how we behave"
    • Real success stories — Olivia, Kristin, Taylor, McKinsey, Rebecca — and what they share
    • Matt's three challenges for anyone ready to grow: show up, find your who, take your shot

    If you've ever wondered whether developing your people is worth the cost, this episode will change the math. Press play — then look around, and ask yourself who's looking at you.
