Around the Embers: A Fireside Chat is a candid conversation series for healthcare and behavioral health leaders navigating the complex, human side of running an organization. Hosted by Mitchell Jeffery, Founder of The Ember Collective, each episode pulls up a chair with operators, clinicians, and industry voices to talk about what actually happens behind the scenes — the people decisions, the culture pivots, the compliance landmines, and the leadership lessons that don't make it into the polished case studies. Less PowerPoint, more truth. We dig into how independently owned SUD treatment programs, psychiatric practices, and assisted living facilities are building stronger teams, smarter systems, and healthier workplaces — without losing the human element that drew them to this work in the first place.
