Did you know that although one of the wealthiest nations in the world, the United States still lags behind in health metrics?

Join me on today's episode to unpack the US health landscape, exploring how fundamental needs like clean air, job security, and transportation are not met in many communities, directly impacting health conditions.

We delve into the role of stress in these conditions and how clinical interventions contribute only 10-20% of health outcomes. More importantly, we highlight how businesses - big and small - can play a significant role in improving this situation.

Switching gears to focus on small businesses, we discuss their crucial role in fostering equitable and thriving societies. With a staggering 70% of Americans trusting small businesses more than their larger counterparts, we believe they hold the key to driving meaningful change.

Further, we will examine how businesses can harness their resources to benefit communities, employees, and managers alike.

Thanks for listening.

If something you heard today brought a smile to your face or a spark to your heart, and you’d like to connect with me, here are a few ways you can do that.

One is my newsletter, it’s where I put most of my time and energy when I’m not working with clients or on this podcast. Sorry social media! It’s a mix of real life stories, tips and tricks and of course updates on what’s happening with the podcast. Whenever something is going on with me or in my business, it always comes out there first.

Another resource that I have for you is my Guide to Doing Work Differently. The guide takes you through four inquiries into how you can build a more sustainable and equitable work environment for yourself and your team. It's a great place to start.

Last, if you’ve got a burning question, a comment, or a situation you’d like my eyes on, you can email me at candice@fortressandflourish.com.
