In this episode, Heather sits down with Jordan D. Evans, Director of Business Development for PDC Rx, a hospice pharmacy benefits manager in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where the guiding philosophy is simple: it is never business, it's always personal.

On The Hodges 12, Jordan is a Synthesizer, Connector, Organizer, and that trifecta runs through everything he does.

They explore where he pulls ideas that most people in hospice would never think to look, how he senses a genuine fit and makes the introduction, and what creativity looks like in the day to day. Jordan also weighs in on the role AI should, and should never, play in a deeply human industry.

If you've ever underestimated the creative power of connection, this one is for you.

This week on I'm IN! I sit down with a guest who is one year into his career, one year past the cap and gown, and figuring out in real time what it means to build a working life. He is a Campaign Coordinator at Calvert Street Group in Nashville, a Lipscomb University graduate, and on The Hodges 12 he is a Cultivator, Healer, and Strategist.

He is also my youngest son.

We talk honestly about life after graduation: what surprised him about work and adulthood, the lessons no classroom could teach, the old-school wisdom he now respects, and what his generation is right about that the rest of us may not be ready to hear yet.

Then we get to my favorite part, his Hodges 12 debrief. You can hear all three types in how he talks about people, problems, and fixing what is broken. His Thriving Index came back as Growing, and we explore what is feeding that growth.

Whether you are one year in or thirty, this one will meet you where you are.

Season 2, Episode 16 of I'm IN! Unleash Your Creative Genius is live. Take the Hodges 12 assessment to discover your own Creative Genius Trifecta, link in the comments.

May you be wildly creative in your life and leadership.

When I looked at the Trifectas for Jay Duty and Scott Beard, I did an actual double take.

Jay is the COO of Maxwell TEC and he is a Connector • Communicator • Synthesizer. Scott is the Chief Strategy Officer and an Organizer • Designer • Strategist.

Six of The Hodges 12 types of Creative Genius, half the framework in one conversation. And I don't think that's a coincidence I think it's a big part of why they make such a powerful team.

We recorded live at Mandalay Bay during the Interim HealthCare Franchise Partnership Conference. Three old friends talking about what it takes to innovate inside healthcare's most disruptive season.

A few of the threads we pulled on:

· Why Jay's COO wiring isn't about running systems it's about reading the room, translating the message, and pulling ideas from everywhere

· What it feels like for Scott to be a Strategist with the title Chief Strategy Officer (almost too on the nose)

· The blind spots every Creative Genius has and why your team needs the types it's missing

· What question they recommend your should ask when your team is stuck and you don't know why
