Meet Stuart Fischbein

We were lucky to catch up with Stuart Fischbein recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Stuart, thanks for sharing your insights with our community today. Part of your success, no doubt, is due to your work ethic and so we’d love if you could open up about where you got your work ethic from?

My parents. Both were dedicated to their jobs and emphasized doing your best is more joyful and fulfilling.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

Currently retired from assisting directly with birth I continue to offer wisdom and consultation virtually. I travel around the globe teaching a 2-day hands on seminar in breech and twin knowledge and skills. I have a successful Podcast now going on its 13th year. Along with my business partner, Blyss Young, we have a Patreon community through which we support birthworkers and pregnant women and families.
One of my current passions is addressing the worsening outcomes in maternity care from the over-medicalized industrail approach that currently dominates this specialty. We can do so much better and our mothers and future children deserve to know options and be free of coercion to choose.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Question everything. Trust must be earned. Be curious.

Confidence which includes the confidence to admit you don’t know everything.

Develop community for support and sanity

Thanks so much for sharing all these insights with us today. Before we go, is there a book that’s played in important role in your development?

I read Atlas Shrugged, written in 1957, in 1986. This was Ayn Rand’s look into socialism and the totalitarian mindset. And for someone raised a Minnesota democrat who finally was making a salary after 12 years of higher education it was eye opening. The speech given by Dr. Hendricks in the book changed everything for me.
