If you're our CEO, Carl, the answer is: a lot.

UPDATE: Carl has been quoted in Becker's not once but TWICE more since we originally published this article. See what he has to say about [the intersection of ASCs and Amazon](https://www.beckersasc.com/supply-chain/will-amazon-shake-up-the-asc-supply-chain-here-s-what-4-experts-say.html) and learn [how ASCs can avoid being bullied by their suppliers](https://www.beckersasc.com/supply-chain/how-ascs-can-adapt-to-a-transforming-supply-chain-landscape-5-experts-weigh-in.html). 

...

You might recognize international star Carl Natenstedt from his EGOT-worthy performance [in this video](https://www.z5inventory.com/blog/carls-got-something-to-say-to-you). He's been in healthcare and the supply chain for two decades, so we've long leaned on his expertise. 

That expert status has now been made official by [Becker's Healthcare](https://www.beckersasc.com/supply-chain/what-s-the-silver-bullet-for-supply-chain-management-z5-inventory-s-ceo-knows.html) - themselves more than experts in the healthcare space - as they reached out for his insights into the little-explored world of ASCs (or Ambulatory Surgery Centers).
