  • Healing Families, Not Just Kids I Skin in the Game with Dr. New Sang
    May 4 2026

    🩺 “Being a doctor isn't just about getting the antibiotic right; it's about healing patients emotionally as well as physically.”Dr. New Sang, CEO & President of Sang Medical Corp & Sang Pediatrics.

    In this candid conversation on #SkinInTheGamewithDebbieGo, I sit down with pediatrician, CEO, and philanthropist Dr. New Sang to explore a side of medicine rarely taught in medical school: the emotional and generational layers of pediatric care. From leaving a tight-knit island community on Kauai, Hawaii to build his practice in Fresno, to braving public anti-science sentiment during the pandemic, Dr. Sang shares what it truly means to have skin in the game.

    We unpack:
    👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Why pediatrics is really about treating the whole family—across generations
    🧠 How he turned 1-star reviews into a year-long mission to address parental anxiety
    💡 The science-backed strategies from his new book, Relieving Parental Anxiety: Perspectives from a Pediatrician, to heal perfectionism, inner-child wounds, and generational trauma
    🏥 The story behind his multimillion-dollar gift that named a postpartum wing after his mother

    As Dr. Sang reminds us, “100% of people remember how they felt” in the doctor’s office. This episode is full of practical wisdom for parents, leaders, and anyone seeking to replace anxiety with empathy.

    When did a healthcare provider make you feel like they were really listening to you, not just running down a checklist? I'd love to hear what that moment felt like.

  • AI Isn’t the Threat—Flying Blind Is | Skin in the Game with Mariia Potupchik
    Apr 6 2026

    AI isn’t the threat; the real danger is flying blind.

    Mariia Potupchik is the Founder & CEO of YourSkills. Previously, she led teams at Skyeng, one of Europe’s largest online education platforms—and she learned this firsthand while managing over 100 people. She had dashboards full of data, but on a customer support call, she discovered a woman in a small town learning English to support her disabled child—flagged as a “retention risk” on the dashboard, yet she was the most dedicated learner.

    “We were optimizing for averages,” Mariia says. “And averages erase people.”

    That tension between scale and individuality is exactly what she’s now solving with YourSkills, an AI-powered platform that makes the invisible visible—mapping what people can actually do, not just what their job title says.

    In this #SkinInTheGameWithDebbieGo episode, we explore:

    ✅ Why 80% of AI pilots fail—not because of the technology, but because of overlooked human factors (training mismatched, best people leaving unseen, AI adoption unsupported).

    ✅ How YourSkills acts as the intelligence layer to navigate workforce complexity, using behavioral signals instead of self‑reporting.

    ✅ The future of work: making talent the star, not credentials—shifting from job titles to real capabilities.

    If you’re leading a team through the AI transition, stop measuring adoption. Start measuring readiness.
