What If You Don't Train Them — and They Stay?
from Experiencing Healthcare Podcast · host Matt Staub, Jamie Preston
"What if you train them and they leave?" It's the fear that quietly keeps most healthcare leaders from investing in their people. Matt Staub — CEO of Your Health — wants you to sit with the question his mentor once asked in return: What if you don't train them, and they stay? In this episode, Matt joins Jamie Preston for a conversation about why workforce education isn't a perk at Your Health — it's the culture. From nationally accredited apprenticeships, to a training pipeline built out of a licensing crisis, to the real people behind the success stories, this is a blueprint for leaders who want to grow something that lasts. Key topics covered: The lumberjack story: why sharpening your axe beats swinging harder every time How a shortage of licensed administrators became the catalyst for Your Health's training engine The shift from "education happens on your own time" to "this is how we behave" Real success stories — Olivia, Kristin, Taylor, McKinsey, Rebecca — and what they share Matt's three challenges for anyone ready to grow: show up, find your who, take your shot If you've ever wondered whether developing your people is worth the cost, this episode will change the math. Press play — then look around, and ask yourself who's looking at you.

What this episode covers
Jamie & Matt unpack why the Your Health organization pours thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours into developing its people — from nationally accredited apprenticeships through Your Health University to the internal pathways that have turned paramedics into regional VPs and interns into department leads. The takeaway: the companies that sharpen the axe don't just grow bigger, they grow better — and the real risk isn't that your best people will leave if you train them, it's that they'll stay if you don't.
