The Long Game Behind Sustainable Services w/ RCPA
Ep. 63 • December 15, 2025

In this conversation, host Nate Beers sits down with Tim Sohosky from RCPA to talk about the long game in disability services: how change actually happens, why efficiency alone isn’t enough, and what leaders need to pay attention to now if they want their organizations — and their people — to thrive long-term.

This is Part 2 of their conversation. They explore:

  • How advocacy moves from frustration to real system change;
  • Why outcomes matter more than ever (and what we’re measuring wrong);
  • The hidden strain leaders feel when innovation collides with regulation;
  • What sustainable leadership looks like five to ten years out; and
  • How building a bench of future leaders protects everything you’re working toward.

This episode isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about perspective, patience, and making decisions today that future leaders — and the people you support — will thank you for.

The Connection Every IDD Leader Needs w/ RCPA
Ep. 62 • December 8, 2025

In this episode of the IDD Leaders podcast, podcast host, Nate Beers, sits down with Tim Sohosky, IDD Director at RCPA (Rehabilitation and Community Providers Association), to uncover one of the most overlooked advantages available to leaders in the IDD field: your provider association.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re leading in isolation, drowning in vacancies, or constantly reacting to new regulations — you’re not alone. And you don’t have to keep going solo. Tim shares insider insights on how high-performing leaders stay ahead of staffing challenges, influence policy before it hits their agencies, and tap into resources that make their jobs easier (and their teams stronger).
