On this episode of Advances in Care , host Erin Welsh and Dr. Craig Smith, Chair of the Department of Surgery and Surgeon-in-Chief at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia discuss the highlights of Dr. Smith’s 40+ year career as a cardiac surgeon and how the culture of Columbia has been a catalyst for innovation in cardiac care. Dr. Smith describes the excitement of helping to pioneer the institution’s heart transplant program in the 1980s, when it was just one of only three hospitals in the country practicing heart transplantation. Dr. Smith also explains how a unique collaboration with Columbia’s cardiology team led to the first of several groundbreaking trials, called PARTNER (Placement of AoRTic TraNscatheteR Valve), which paved the way for a monumental treatment for aortic stenosis — the most common heart valve disease that is lethal if left untreated. During the trial, Dr. Smith worked closely with Dr. Martin B. Leon, Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Chief Innovation Officer and the Director of the Cardiovascular Data Science Center for the Division of Cardiology. Their findings elevated TAVR, or transcatheter aortic valve replacement, to eventually become the gold-standard for aortic stenosis patients at all levels of illness severity and surgical risk. Today, an experienced team of specialists at Columbia treat TAVR patients with a combination of advancements including advanced replacement valve materials, three-dimensional and ECG imaging, and a personalized approach to cardiac care. Finally, Dr. Smith shares his thoughts on new frontiers of cardiac surgery, like the challenge of repairing the mitral and tricuspid valves, and the promising application of robotic surgery for complex, high-risk operations. He reflects on life after he retires from operating, and shares his observations of how NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia have evolved in the decades since he began his residency.

Introduction (00:00-02:10) Kelsey Kerslake introduces herself and the purpose of the episode. She highlights the importance of reaching five-figure months and making them a reality. Stage 1: Making Between $0 and $1,000 (02:11-08:05) Kelsey explains that this stage is an experimental phase. The primary focus is on making money and overcoming mindset challenges around receiving money. She emphasizes the need to experiment with various approaches within your industry. Stage 2: Earning Between $1,000 and $3,500 (08:06-15:13) Kelsey emphasizes the importance of staying in stage two if you're making between $1,000 and $3,500 per month. In this stage, you should focus on identifying your ideal client and learning how to sell and market to them effectively.

Stage 3: Earning Between $3,500 and $7,500 (15:14-22:18) Kelsey discusses the need to solidify your offers and create a signature offer.
