E171 | Healthcare Has No Offseason — Brian Ferguson, CEO of Arena Labs

Healthcare runs on people who keep showing up. This episode asks a simple question: who is taking care of them? On this episode of the Advancing Healthcare Innovation Show, host Michael Stamatinos sits down with Brian Ferguson, CEO of Arena Labs and former Navy SEAL officer, for a grounded and personal conversation about service, pressure, and what it takes to last in healthcare. Brian has spent over two decades inside elite teams across national security, special operations, and professional sports. In this conversation, he draws clear parallels between those worlds and the frontlines of healthcare—emergency rooms, ICUs, and operating rooms—where there is no offseason and little room to recover. Together, they explore what Brian calls the Service Archetype. The small group of people in any society who raise their hand to serve others. In healthcare, that calling is constant. And without the right tools, it comes at a cost. This episode covers: Why healthcare has normalized exhaustion The difference between endurance and real strength How performance science from the military and sports can help clinicians recover What Predictive Performance means in real life The meaning behind Teddy Roosevelt’s Man in the Arena Why standards only matter if they protect people when no one is watching This is a quiet, honest conversation about leadership, burnout, recovery, and responsibility. It speaks directly to clinicians and healthcare leaders who carry the work and rarely talk about the toll.
