From working with refugees in Houston and El Salvador to working in community mental health and the “NATSAP World”, Daniel Fishburn has dedicated his life to serving others.  He’s been a mentor, colleague and friend of mine for years, so I was super excited to have him on the podcast!

Here’s a bit of what we covered in this episode:

  • Pros and cons of for-profit vs. not-for-profit healthcare and treatment
  • Human-centered capitalism
  • The journey from addiction to recovery
  • Spirituality in life and leadership
  • The stories we tell ourselves
  • Employee retention vs. team development and the role of a leader
  • The concept of ‘no-self’ and how it pertains to leadership
  • The good, the bad, and the ugly of NATSAP

This was a super wide ranging episode -- hope you enjoy listening!
