Raise your hand if you've been living under the Heat Dome this past week? (**raises sweaty hand**).
I love that all weather patterns have dramatic names now. I mean, you've got the Heat Dome, the Polar Vortex, Bomb Cyclones...it's like the Weather Channel hired an action movie writer. At this rate, I fully expect to wake up under the "Sun Scorcher 3000" next month.
(And before anyone replies talking about climate change...for the purpose of this intro, I’m just choosing to remain blissfully unaware of why these extreme weather patterns keep happening.)
Anyway, while the outside world melts, here's what else I've got for you today:
🚨New Integration Alert 🚨
A suite SoCal Rivalry
Our next virtual community meetup is TODAY
The Orchestrator of Long Island

Fresh Content: The Orchestrator of Long Island
Scott Orstad is one of the most thoughtful healthcare marketers we know.
In the latest episode of People of Healthcare Marketing, he opens up about what really drives him: building high-performing teams, creating a culture where people thrive, and pushing healthcare marketing to be seen as the revenue driver it truly is.
Scott also doesn't shy away from tough truths. He talks about the skepticism healthcare marketers face, the need to evolve beyond traditional tactics, and why it's time to meet patients where they actually make decisions, like search and reviews, not just legacy channels. And yes, he has strong feelings about buzzwords like "state of the art."
