This week, we meet Andrea Welsh — healthcare technical writer, strategist, and data literacy advocate. Andrea believes in “Data, not Drama!” — because you can’t fix what you don’t know, and you can’t grow what you don’t measure. With a background spanning 20 years in nursing, a degree in forensic psychology and working at the coal face of healthcare documentation, Andrea has helped clinics, hospitals, and tech companies build systems that actually tell the right story. She’s passionate about helping teams understand what their data means and why it matters — from the C-suite down. From her own journey — pivoting after a childhood accident meant the FBI dream was out of reach — to her mission now of helping to reshape U.S. healthcare toward community-focused care, Andrea’s story is all about resilience, clarity, and building with the tools you already have.   Welcome to episode #76 and Season 2 of On Another Track, and welcome Andrea Welsh!   LinkedIn linlinkedin.com/in/medical-technical-writer-andrea-welsh   Email andrea@clockworkcursive.com   Company Links Andrea Welsh, Clockwork & Cursive clockworkcursive.com   Episode Link: https://www.podpage.com/on-another-track/76   +++++++++++++++++++ Featured Company: Commercial Food Service: https://cfsfood.ca/

Three years ago, Sophie Ash was just discovering who she really was — a new sister, a new story, and a whole new path.

In this episode, you’ll hear why Sophie refuses to waste time, how she sorts the wheat from the chaff, and what it means to truly live a business that’s innate — not just scripted.
