It’s no secret that the pandemic has had a major impact on our education system. But the truth of the matter is that there are underlying problems in the system. According to research done by today’s guest Dr. Megan Sweets:

50% of teachers will leave the profession in the first 5 years.

50% of new principals will leave their schools in 3 years, with 20% leaving after their first year.

These statistics, compounded with the pandemic, make it clear that there is a need for an overhaul in the educational sphere. Enter today’s guest, Dr. Sweets. With her PhD in educational leadership with a focus in financial reform, Megan created Your 3 Eyes as a program to help schools make necessary shifts that has a positive impact for students, educators, and communities. Join us as we dive into the world of educational reform and what the future holds.

Why is chronic illness management lagging in innovation? How can doctors and patients be better equipped and more empowered to manage their health issues? And how has Covid impacted this market?

Chronic illness, especially Type 2 diabetes, is more complex than acute injuries when it comes to monitoring health and making adjustments over the long-term. It typically requires patients to catalogue all aspects of their life in disjointed methods in the hopes that their doctor will be able to understand the big picture and catch any issues as they arise. It’s for this reason that xbird came into being. A digital platform streamlines the process of monitoring, managing and notifying patients of their health—all in a user-friendly app. Join myself and Founder Sebastian Sujka as we explore the possibilities that xbird is creating in their industry, and what that means for the future of chronic illness management.
