Clock Out & Connect with Marc and Shantall
Two CRNAs. No filter.
Clock Out & Connect is the podcast that goes where most healthcare shows won't. Marc and Shantall work in anesthesia — one of the most high-stakes, misunderstood corners of medicine — and every episode they clock out, sit down, and get into it. Work culture, burnout, the money nobody talks about, what really happens behind the OR doors, and the life you're trying to build around all of it.
Honest conversations. Real experiences. No sugarcoating. If you're thinking it, we're talking about it.

Marc asked Shantall one question. She started answering it — and stopped.
Would you do it all over again?
In the first episode of Clock Out and Connect, two CRNAs sit down and do what nobody in healthcare actually does: tell the truth about how they got here and what it cost.
Shantall traces her path from the Dominican Republic to South Florida, to the Army, to Iraq, through nursing school, CRNA training, and a COVID ICU she never should have been pulled into. Marc takes you from Jamaica to bedside nursing, watching his grandmother recover from a stroke, through the ICU, and into anesthesia school — with a family depending on him the whole way.
They talk about how they met, why this podcast needed to exist, and the one question that doesn’t get answered — not yet.
Whether you work in healthcare, love someone who does, or you’ve ever wondered what’s actually happening on the other side of that OR door — this is where we stop sugarcoating it.
