This week, we’re talking with Avi Fishman, a Lean Master Black Belt and Six Sigma Black Belt with extensive experience in healthcare systems process improvement who — at the time we recorded our interview — recently found himself looking for his next job. We talked with him about his career path from an NYPD officer to health care administrator, his approach to leveraging his professional network, and his advice for all on remaining “resume ready.”

This episode also marks the 200th published episode of “Problem Solved.” Since we launched in May 2019, we have talked with professionals, students, authors, and business leaders in the fields of industrial and systems engineering, healthcare systems, and ergonomics as well as the numerous industries and academia in-between. We’re grateful for the wisdom and insights of our guests, and we’re especially thankful to our listeners — spanning the globe across more than 125 countries. We’re planning to return with new episodes of “Problem Solved” as well as our new Q&A series “ExpertISE” in 2025.
