Special Episode LIVE From the MSRC: Planting Seeds: Legacy, Mentorship, and the Duty to Give Back

Recorded live at the Missouri Society Respiratory Care Conference with RT Sidebar, this episode features respiratory therapist, educator, and provost Dr. Aaron Light. He opens up about failing algebra twice, landing on academic probation, and ultimately graduating as class valedictorian.But the real heart of this conversation is legacy. Dr. Light reflects on what it means to train students who go on to care for thousands of patients, help champion compact licensure across 11 states, and build a "coaching tree" of educators who are now shaping the next generation themselves. He also makes a passionate case for why senior therapists have an absolute obligation to mentor those coming up behind them.A must-listen for anyone who wants to make a bigger impact than just the patients in front of them.
