Dr. Michael Mayo | The Business of Healthcare, Worker Safety, AI & Jacksonville's Unique Hospital Culture

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Michael Mayo, Executive in Residence at Baptist Health and Chair of the AHA's Region 4 Policy Board, to talk about what 32 years of healthcare leadership actually teaches you, why Jacksonville's hospital systems are doing something no other city in the country is doing, and what the future of healthcare policy, AI, and workforce development looks like from someone who has been at the center of it all. Dr. Michael Mayo spent his early twenties building truck tires at Goodyear to pay for school. A job in hospital collections in Fort Worth changed his path, and three decades later he had led some of the largest health systems in the country, including a decade as president of Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville before becoming CEO of Baptist Health in 2021. In this episode we cover: Why he says his failures taught him more than his wins and what that means for how he leads Why hospitals legally cannot turn anyone away from the ER and what EMTALA actually means The rising violence healthcare workers face on the job and the policy fight to make assaulting one a crime anywhere in the hospital How AI is already reshaping medical coding and clinical documentation inside real hospitals Why Jacksonville's competing hospital systems sit down together and collaborate, and why no other city does it quite like this How extended family showing up at the last minute can override a patient's own end-of-life wishes, and why advance directives matter 🎬 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ZzjJhm3DcSo 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7JfUbSm3jdmIeBWuLYKEV0 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-the-health-just-happened/id1676305326 💜 iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-what-the-health-just-happe-110185274/ 🌐 Learn more: https://www.etmediagroup.co/what-the-health-just-happened Hosted by Eric Ross and Trey Lowell | Powered by ET Media Group | Airs weekly on WOKV 104.5 #WhatTheHealthJustHappened #HealthcarePodcast #Jacksonville #BaptistHealth #HealthcareLeadership #WOKV

Matt Berseth & NLP Logix | Why Every Business Needs an AI Strategy Right Now

Here's the RSS description: We filmed this one inside the NLP Logix office in Jacksonville and the building alone told part of the story. Green and red lights on every desk. A swag closet. A Rubik's Cube. And a whole lot of people doing work that most of us could not explain but all of us benefit from. Matt Berseth is the Chief Information Officer and co-founder of NLP Logix, one of the fastest growing AI companies in the country. He and his co-founder Ted started the company 15 years ago when everyone was talking about collecting big data and nobody was asking what to do with it. That question became a company. NLP Logix builds enterprise AI, data, and software solutions that deliver real results. Not demos. Not proofs of concept. Production-ready AI that changes how businesses operate. They work across healthcare, financial services, insurance, transportation, construction, government, nonprofits, sports, and consumer goods. Their tagline is AI Realized, and the point of that tagline is that technology in a business setting is only worth something when it drives an outcome. They have the receipts. One healthcare client went from 45 minutes per chart down to 20 minutes across 400 professionals without sacrificing quality. That is the kind of result they are built around. They are also doubling their office space. That tells you everything you need to know about where this is going. We are two self-described cavemen when it comes to AI. Matt was patient with us. It made for a really good conversation. In this episode: How NLP Logix went from a curiosity about the Netflix algorithm to an enterprise AI company working across nearly every industry What AI Realized actually means and why real results are the only metric that matters The SaaSpocalypse, the build vs. buy equation, and why your Salesforce bill might not make sense much longer What coding agents actually are in plain English and why engineers using them are saving 15 hours a week AI and job replacement, the honest answer, and why the bottlenecks just moved How middle and high schoolers in Jacksonville are using Claude and ChatGPT to build real solutions at hackathons Why AI literacy matters more than a computer science degree right now Where small businesses should actually start and why going to break things is legitimate advice UNF, the Jacksonville AI ecosystem, and why data science is a team sport 🎙️ Listen & Subscribe: 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7JfUbSm3jdmIeBWuLYKEV0 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-the-health-just-happened/id1676305326 ▶️ YouTube: https://youtu.be/0F0CDQNLEBo 📻 Every Saturday at 7PM on WOKV 104.5 Jacksonville 🔔 Subscribe for new episodes every week. 📲 @whatthehealthjusthappened Powered by ET Media Group | etmediagroup.co #WhatTheHealthJustHappened #NLPLogix #ArtificialIntelligence #EnterpriseAI #SaaSpocalypse #BuildVsBuy #AIStrategy #FutureOfWork #AILiteracy #Jacksonville #WOKV #ETMediaGroup #DataScience #CodingAgents #AIInBusiness
