The Burger King Approach
I’m going to give the current president of Burger King a lot of credit. If you aren’t following what they are doing on social media (especially TikTok) you are missing out. It’s been an absolute class on how a legacy company can approach a new social outlet and make it work. So, like any good…
Read MoreThe Market Now and Who We Are
I’ve caught myself doing something over the past few weeks that I don’t love. Looking back. Remember when things felt clearer? When the model worked? When effort reliably turned into results?

Read MoreLinkedIn: A Platform for Healthcare Workers?
LinkedIn: A Platform for Healthcare Workers? Earlier this week I saw a short-form piece of content where the creator stated that LinkedIn “isn’t built for healthcare workers.” His point was that LinkedIn works for executives, but frontline staff have no interest in corporate chatter about innovation or AI.

The Unlikely, Unshaven, and Unapologetically Human Origin of Atlas MedStaff (and Travel Healthcare) Long before Atlas MedStaff became one of the most trusted names in healthcare staffing, it began—as all great ideas do—with failure, questionable decision-making, and a man named Claudius Jebidiah Atlas III. Claudius wasn’t a doctor. He wasn’t a nurse. He wasn’t even particularly…
Read MoreUnderstanding Behavior: It’s Not Personal, It’s Practical
Normally my blog pieces are for our travelers. The healthcare professionals that trust us with their professional license, and in turn their career. It’s a responsibility that I take very seriously and I like to communicate with all of you as much as I can. But this one is for our recruiters (or recruiters in…
