Health Hats, the Podcast


CEO of My Health

August 18, 2019

I want to be a better CEO of my health and health team. Better at learning, managing, leading, and deciding. Most of us are only fair at any of it. Few are good at all of it. And our lives depend on them all. Let's explore this further together in future podcasts. I encourage you to share your questions and thoughts with me.

About the Show
Welcome to Health Hats, empowering people as they travel together toward best health. I am Danny van Leeuwen, a two-legged, old, cisgender, white man with privilege, living in a food oasis, who can afford many hats and knows a little about a lot of healthcare and a lot about very little. Most people wear hats one at a time, but I wear them all at once.  We will listen and learn about what it takes to adjust to life's realities in healthcare’s Tower of Babel.  Let's make some sense of all this.

The Show
CEO of my health
Health Hats: I am the CEO (Chief Executive Officer, the boss) of my health team with a ton of subcontractors: my primary care doc and her practice, my neurologist and his practice, the radiology department at my local hospital, the neighborhood pharmacy, the utility companies… You get the idea. They get paid through my employment benefits, your and my taxes, and out of my pocket. Right now, I directly employ my massage therapist and acupuncturist – fee-for-service. I also have pro bono team members: my wife (my care partner), my family, friends, and coaches.

As CEO of my health team, I try to manage, lead, and learn. Managing as in managing the project of my teams and me, knowing and selecting team members and clarifying who does what and when do they do it? Keeping track of it all. Sharing information. Experimenting (trying stuff) and then adjusting when something doesn't work.
