Thank you, Scott.
Sounds great, Scott.
Thanks, Scott. I mean, I think it's an excellent question. And I certainly have been feeling the impact of the the greater world on my day to day. And I think it's hard both personally and as a leader to kind of put things in a place where you're able to continue to function.
But I think I heard some good advice on a podcast and I saw the same advice repeated by my partner, Tim Fry, just last week in an email. And I think the best advice I could give and try and give to my team is to control the things that you can control. And I think a lot of the difficulty with what is happening right now is that everything does feel so crazily out of control and unpredictable.
And I think by taking hold of the things that we can control and within our own orbit, it can make you feel more grounded. So by that, I mean... your day-to-day, how do you execute on the tasks that you have in front of you, sit down, build lists, keep focused, and not let some of the bigger things that are happening just overwhelm.
And I think in terms of the political side of things, for those people who are feeling just very rattled by a lot of the changes that are happening, I think the advice I heard that I really liked is, again, with picking something within your control, Pick a cause, pick a group that's doing things that help the thing that you're most concerned about and take some actual action yourself.
And by doing these things, both in terms of your day-to-day, putting one foot in front of the other, as well as picking causes or groups that are supportive of the things that you care about, you can start to feel like you're regaining some of that control and feel like a normal person who's able to function again.
So that's probably the best I have right now, but it is certainly a very tumultuous time that we're in, and I think a lot of people are really feeling that.
I mean, I think it's the same thing, Scott. It's helping people focus on the things they can control. It's giving people some tangible things that they can actually execute on and encouraging them to center themselves. I mean, you don't tell clients how you need to center yourself.
but you can help them with the things that they need help with and help them focus on their long-term business core strategy. Because I think for the most part, the core strategy is going to remain the same if you're in a sector that's not heavily impacted by some of the changes that are happening.
So one of the things I was actually going to chat about with you today is I wanted to get your views on some of the tariff impact on healthcare services, for example, But one take on healthcare services is in some ways it is a better area than others with respect to the tariffs in that it is domestic. There is not a heavy focus on supply chain issues.
A lot of the clients we work with are working on tech enabled platforms, which are less impacted by the tariffs. And so maybe the sector is more resilient and less reliant on some of the global trends that are happening.
And so there's not necessarily a need for a major strategy refocus, whereas other businesses may need more help with a global strategy refocus, but a lot of the businesses we work with don't. So it's continuing to help them focus and hone in on the core business strategy and execution. They have their own problems with workforce and the things that we're dealing with.
A lot of it is just, you know, the big, broad dialogues of helping people hone in on what they need to be doing and what they need to focus on, what does and doesn't need to change, and then just doubling down on execution. So, I mean, the best thing we can do is be great advisors, be a consistent, and help people work through this tumultuous time.
I think that's right. I mean, I think the Medicaid cuts are another area that is super interesting and we're watching and I think don't fully understand yet. I think the Republicans have passed their budget resolution and They need to cut $880 billion in costs through 2034, and it's got to come from somewhere.
And I think given where they have jurisdiction, we think a lot of it will come from Medicaid. I think we need to wait and see a little bit in terms of where that comes from. But it's interesting because a lot of the areas that could be very impacted by Medicaid cuts are also the areas that still... reflects really good investment opportunities just based on other dynamics.
So I think we just don't know what the areas such as home health, substance abuse, mental health providers. We need to know more before we can really say what the impact is going to be. But thank you for your kind comments too. They are appreciated. And I think some of it is just not looking at the stock market.
100%. 100%.
Thank you, Scott.
Thanks, Scott, and thanks for having me on. I'm actually coming at you live today from the KO 2025 Women's Healthcare Private Equity Summit here in Chicago. So I apologize if there's any background noise. So it's actually great to be at a conference right now and hear some of the discussion around what folks are seeing and how they're viewing the market.
