This is a preview conversation, the introduction before the full-feature episode that’s coming soon.

This isn’t the full story.
This is the doorway into it.

In this powerful episode of HTM On The Line, host Bryant Hawkins Sr. sits down with Mike Reagan from Innovative Radiology, a veteran imaging engineer whose 38-year career stretches from a war-torn childhood in Eritrea to becoming one of the most respected voices in medical imaging.

Mike’s journey is an example of resilience and purpose. From being adopted out of a conflict zone to mastering some of the most advanced imaging systems in healthcare, he shares how faith, curiosity, and mentorship shaped every step of his path.

They discuss:

• How chance and divine timing led Mike into the biomedical field through the military.
• The day he accidentally quenched an MRI magnet, costing over $150,000, and how that moment of failure became a turning point in humility, leadership, and process improvement.
• The evolving role of AI in HTM, and why technology can assist but never replace the human heart behind the repair.
• The importance of valuing engineers, providing training, recognition, and real work-life balance to sustain the profession.
• Why HTM professionals must remember that behind every calibration is a patient whose life depends on it.

Mike’s story reminds us that true excellence isn’t about perfection, it’s about purpose, integrity, and showing up when it matters most.

What happens when purpose runs in the family?

In this episode, Bryant Hawkins Sr. sits down with Duane and D'Juan "DJ" James, a father-son duo who’ve built a combined 50 years of impact in the Healthcare Technology Management (HTM) industry.

From humble beginnings to executive leadership, their story is more than career progression. It’s a living lesson in mentorship, legacy, and the power of being both a student and a teacher.

You’ll hear how Duane turned a layoff into a lifelong calling, how D'Juan learned to lead by watching his father’s quiet consistency, and how together they’re shaping the next generation of HTM leaders.

This isn’t just a conversation about repairing equipment, it’s about repairing perspectives, building people, and leading with purpose.

Tune in, take notes, and remember: Legacy isn’t something you leave behind, it’s something you build while you’re here.
