Speaking and Communicating Podcast

You have a medical condition that won't go away. How do you still live well?Dr Kevin Payne is a social psychologist and entrepreneur, author, podcast host, speaker, teacher, and frequent guest interview or panelist.

He also shares his personal exploits as a collector of experiences — even while battling Multiple Sclerosis for decades. Life is too remarkable to sit on the sidelines, even when we’ve got to get more creative about how we get in the game!He was born and raised in the Kansas City Metro area. He can’t have too many books, is a lifelong tech geek, loves collecting new experiences, is devoted to his animals, pretty fond of his kids, and sometimes appears as a pirate.He also never misses a chance to jump from a perfectly good airplane.A better way of living with, and giving care for, chronic health conditions — for those diagnosed; loved ones and caregivers; and medical, therapeutic, health, and wellness professionals.A chronic diagnosis can overwhelm the rest of our lives. Yet half of us now live with these mostly unseen challenges. We soon find out we can’t think, feel, act, relate, or operate the same as others. But we still need to live good lives.Medicine doesn’t have our solutions, or our conditions wouldn’t be “chronic.” We need the best health care, but we also need a better approach to quality of life care.Most of our challenges are non-medical: managing our condition, changing our behaviors, improving our mindsets, calming our fears, maintaining our relationships, and attending to our quality of life.On this episode, he explains how he has spent years pioneering the interdisciplinary research that solves these problems. He’s interviewed hundreds, surveyed thousands, scraped 2.23 million data points from the open web, and analyzed more than seven thousand studies of over one hundred conditions to find what really works.Listen as Dr Payne shares:- how to live life fully with a chronic condition- how being diagnosed with MS shifted his perspective- how he inspires others to still feel passionate about life- how organizations can easily integrate data and scientific thinking for better decision-making- how to operate successfully under distress- behavioral science and data science in technology and healthcare- how loved ones can play a role when chronically ill- mental health advocacy...and so much more!Connect with Dr Payne:WebsiteLeave a rating and a review on iTunes & Spotify:iTunesSpotifyReach out on:LinkedInFacebookInstagramEmail: roberta4sk@gmail.comYouTube
