Matthew Brown, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer at Diversified Healthcare, launched the second season of his podcast "The Undercurrent" on September 9, 2025, with an episode titled "New Season, New Capacity." In the episode, Brown discussed the concepts of capacity and margin, defining capacity as "how much you can hold" and "how much you can produce." He described high-capacity people as those who can "juggle multiple projects, lead teams, juggle work, relationships, responsibilities, and still have time to serve others," but cautioned that "high-capacity people will keep piling it on until you hit burnout." Brown also introduced the idea of a "capacity map" using Stephen Covey's quadrants of priorities to help manage requests and avoid overcommitment. Brown, who also identifies as a pastor and part of a large religious denomination, invited listeners to visit his website at matthewbrown.org for free offerings and announced a live webinar scheduled for September 25, 2025, to "align for what's next." He encouraged listeners to assess whether they are high, mid, or low capacity, stating that "none of those things are wrong" and that frustrations may arise from a mismatch between capacity and margin.
