What happens when love becomes your leadership strategy? In this powerful episode, Dr. Dave Schreiner joins Steve Ramona for a raw, human conversation about the soul of healthcare and what it truly means to lead with a servant's heart.
Dr. Dave is not just a CEO—he’s a former X-ray tech, track athlete, and Ironman finisher who has spent 35 years in the same small rural town, building deep relationships with the very people he serves. Through his words, we meet a leader who believes that excellence in patient care begins with caring for employees first, that love belongs in the workplace, and that the secret to resilient leadership is showing up with authenticity, kindness, and action.
With humor, humility, and hard-won wisdom, Dave shares how leadership rooted in service transforms organizations, why rural hospitals are in crisis, and how his new book aims to reignite passion in healthcare and beyond. His insights ripple beyond the hospital walls—into business, life, and the daily choices we all make to serve with purpose.
P.S. This episode is a heart check for every leader. Whether you’re running a business, a team, or a household, Dave’s servant-hearted approach will challenge and inspire you to lead with more love, resilience, and humanity.
