For Jim Coleman, running a hospital isn’t all that different from taking apart a stove. You just need to understand how the pieces fit together to make the whole thing work.

In this episode, Jim shares what it was like managing 300 employees by the time he was 30, how new roles often found him before he went looking for them, and why a heart attack ended up giving him unexpected mental clarity.

Plus, he shares what it was like to lead Erlanger through its shift to a private, for-profit hospital system.

Jim Coleman is the President & CEO of Erlanger. You can connect with him on LinkedIn (linkedin.com/in/jim-coleman-9045282).

Darin Wright knows the power of color, and she’s built her work around helping people feel confident in theirs.

In this episode, Darin shares how selling makeup at 14, riding shotgun on her dad’s TastyKake route, and even a short stint as a “terrible waitress” taught her client-first sales and honest communication. She also shares how her winding path through banking, real estate, and retail, paired with a frustration with one-size-fits-all makeup, inspired her to start Elea Blake Cosmetics and create the EB Hues color system.
