Samantha Propper, founder of "Don't Miss a Beat" joins Bill to discuss the challenges and solutions for creating better cath lab environments through improved communication, education, and psychological safety.

• Sam's journey from cardiovascular technologist to educator and founder of educational resources for cath lab professionals
• Creating visual educational resources that bridge knowledge gaps for staff at all experience levels
• How understaffing and lack of structured orientation contributes to high turnover in cath labs
• The psychology of fear that affects both physicians and staff during procedures
• Why learning happens best through failure, not success
• The importance of practicing complication management, not just routine procedures
• How physicians can create psychological safety by inviting questions and feedback
• Practical strategies for preventing burnout among experienced staff
• Teaching outside the procedure room to build skills in a low-stress environment
• The value of curiosity and compassion as foundational qualities for team members

If you're feeling unvalued in your lab, consider what specifically makes you feel valued – each person's needs are different. If you're a leader, ask your team members directly what makes them feel appreciated rather than assuming you know.
