📍 New to Austin? Here’s advice that actually works.

On a recent episode of Austin Eras, Adam Flagg asked A.J. Bingham, Founder & CEO of The Bingham Group, what he would tell someone moving to Austin who wants to get connected and understand the city.

The advice was refreshingly simple — and often overlooked:

• Start by figuring out what you want from the city
• Try a few things before overcommitting
• Volunteer before chasing titles or board seats
• Show up, meet people, and stay curious

Austin offers more access and visibility than ever before. The challenge isn’t opportunity — it’s focus.

As A.J. puts it, building real connections takes time, intention, and a willingness to just show up.

💬 “Influence isn’t pressure. It’s trust.”

On a recent episode of Austin Eras, Adam asked A.J. Bingham, Founder & CEO of The Bingham Group, a simple but misunderstood question: What do people get wrong about being a lobbyist?

A.J.’s answer cuts through the noise.

Local lobbying isn’t about arm-twisting or backroom deals - it’s about credibility, reputation, and delivering hard truths, even when they’re unpopular.

In this clip, A.J. explains:
• Why trust is the real currency in public affairs
• How reputations are built (and lost) in local government
• What it actually means to responsibly inform decision-makers

As Adam summarizes in the conversation: effective lobbyists follow through, tell the truth, and prepare leaders - not surprise them.

Harbor Health

🤖 AI in healthcare isn’t about buzzwords. It’s about clarity, accountability, and better decisions.

In this clip, Dr. Clay Johnston, co-founder & Chief Medical Officer of Harbor Health, explains why AI is essential to fixing what’s broken in healthcare.

The reality? Healthcare costs are intentionally complex — hidden from patients and even clinicians — making accountability nearly impossible. Price lists exist, but they don’t help real people make real decisions.

Dr. Johnston breaks down how Harbor Health is using AI and predictive care to:
- Surface true costs across the system
- Anticipate patient needs before they escalate
- Deliver the right information to the right person at the right time
- Make care more convenient, understandable, and proactive

This isn’t about creating a “perfect” system overnight. It’s about taking meaningful steps that already outperform the standard model — and building toward something better over time.

🧠 Leadership doesn’t always start with ambition. Sometimes it starts with frustration.

In this clip from the latest episode of Austin Eras, Dr. Clay Johnston reflects on an important inflection point in his career — the moment he realized his impact in medicine wouldn’t come from going deeper down a single research “rabbit hole,” but from stepping back and asking bigger questions.

After years across the Northeast, the West Coast, and at institutions like UCSF, Dr. Johnston began questioning whether the way medicine does research — how resources are allocated, how long progress takes, and what problems we prioritize — actually makes sense.

That curiosity pulled him into leadership:
- From running a stroke service
- To overseeing translational research at UCSF
- To eventually helping reshape medical education and healthcare delivery at scale

This clip is a reminder that some of the best leaders don’t set out to lead — they set out to fix what isn’t working.

Building a shared vision for Austin doesn’t happen through silence or avoidance.

It happens through conversation — even the uncomfortable kind.

In this week’s episode of Austin Eras, Nhat M Ho highlighted something many cities struggle with:

➡️ Consensus isn’t built by avoiding conflict. It’s built by engaging with it.

As Nhat put it, effective leadership means being willing to:
- have more conversations, not fewer
- face tough issues directly
- risk being wrong in service of getting it right
- push through discomfort to create lasting solutions

Avoiding civic dialogue has consequences — whether it's delayed action on homelessness, stalled public safety agreements, or simply hoping a challenge will solve itself.

But leaning in? That’s where real progress starts.

Because while civic discourse can feel like life or death… it isn’t. And the leaders willing to show up, listen, debate, and stay at the table are the ones shaping Austin’s next chapter.

🎙️ Catch the full conversation with Nhat Ho in our latest episode, “Boots, Roots & the Blueprint for a Growing Austin.”
