EPISODE DESCRIPTION

Steve Klasko was a DJ named Little Stevie Kent who got into medical school partly because an admissions officer recognized his voice from the radio. He then spent 40 years proving that listening (really listening) separates transformational leaders from the ones who just manage decline. As CEO of Jefferson Health, he took a $1.5 billion system to $10 billion in nine years, fought the FTC, and made enemies in every insurance boardroom in Philadelphia. His method was simple: stop asking lawyers what you're allowed to do. Tell them what you're going to do, and ask them how to defend that action.
