Shawna Butler, RN MBA and host of the SEE YOU NOW podcast, transforms continuing education from a compliance checkbox into storytelling that connects nurses to healthcare's biggest challenges. Launched in 2020 as the Year of the Nurse collided with the pandemic, her approach starts with unmet needs and finds the innovators addressing them (from preventing post-op deaths with toothbrushes to creating prenatal care for fathers). Shawna records 90-minute conversations that become carefully crafted episodes with custom music and strategic silence, bundling them around themes like advocacy and mental health to meet CE standards without sacrificing the human story. She's making conference content from venues like Aspen Ideas Health accessible to nurses everywhere.
