    Do You Need to Go Viral to Grow with Nathan Bowser

    “𝘎𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘭” feels like progress. But most founders confuse attention with traction. Nathan said it best— 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆’𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. Yet I keep hearing the same story. “We had a TikTok blow-up.” or “We got thousands of likes.” Silence when I ask, “𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙙?” In healthtech especially, virality can actually hurt you. In this episode of Provider’s Edge, I sat down with product strategist and media builder Nathan Bowser, founder of Awesome Future, to break down one of the biggest traps founders fall into—confusing attention with traction. We talked about why chasing likes can quietly stall your company, how category leadership is actually built, and why awards, pitch competitions, and message discipline matter far more than trending sounds. If you’ve ever thought, “We’re getting visibility… so why isn’t this converting?” — this conversation is for you. In this episode, you’ll learn:Why virality is usually a distraction—not a go-to-market strategy How to identify the 10–20 relationships that actually move your company forward What investors and enterprise buyers look for before they write checks How pitch competitions and awards accelerate trust when data is still early Why founders must get comfortable being seen, heard, and understood on video How clarity in your message creates category leadership faster than noise ever could Related Episodes You’ll Love Who Do Investors Trust More — Heroes or Guides - A deep look at how founders should shape their pitch and narrative to earn trust and warm investor support focusing on clarity, positioning, and meaningful alignment rather than noise.

  2. Why Growing Teams Lose Talent Even When They Pay Well with Faith Rose

    Why Growing Teams Lose Talent Even When They Pay Well with Faith Rose

    You don’t lose great employees because of salary alone. You lose them when the system stops supporting real life. In this episode, I sat down with Faith Rose, a healthcare and benefits strategist with 20+ years of experience helping organizations improve employee wellness and financial stability without new spending or insurance disruption. We discussed how founders and operators unknowingly leak cash through payroll taxes, why healthcare benefits are usually treated in silos, and how preventative care can actually become a retention and resilience strategy. This conversation is for leaders who are scaling fast and don’t want their people, culture, or margins to crack under pressure. What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeWhy financial resilience isn’t about cutting costs—it’s about reallocating what’s already leaving your system How payroll taxes can be redirected into preventative wellness benefits with zero net cost The hidden reason many employee benefits go unused (and how to fix it) Why access without affordability isn’t real healthcare How early-stage companies can compete for talent before they hit 50 or 100 employees The ripple effect that preventative care has on productivity, culture, and retention Featured Guest Faith Rose Healthcare & Benefits Strategist Helping organizations implement Mission Aligned Benefits—a compliant, payroll-based solution that improves employee and family wellness while strengthening company cash flow.

  3. Why Fundraising Feels Harder, and What Founders Are Missing With Claire Smith

    JAN 28

    Why Fundraising Feels Harder, and What Founders Are Missing With Claire Smith

    Most founders think fundraising is harder because the market changed. That’s not the full story. In this episode, I sat down with Claire Smith to unpack what investors are actually listening for right now—and why clarity, not confidence, is the signal that still moves capital. If you’ve been told to “just keep pitching” while checks feel slower, this conversation will help you see where the real disconnect is—and how to fix it. In this episode, you’ll learn:Why capital hasn’t disappeared—but tolerance for vagueness has What investors really mean when they say they’re backing “strong operators” How unclear use-of-funds quietly kills trust (even with traction) Why bridge rounds without a value inflection point erode momentum What differentiates founders who raise consistently from those who stall Why women-led founders don’t need permission—they need proximity and networks This isn’t about perfect decks or louder pitches. It’s about showing investors how you think, decide, and deploy capital—clearly. 🎧 Related Episodes You’ll Love Why Most HealthTech Solutions Fail: The Hidden Gap Between Innovation and Implementation – This episode digs into the common pitfalls that healthtech founders face (particularly in scaling and market fit).

    Why Investors Don’t Trust Your Numbers and How to Fix It with Emily Stubbs

    In this sharp and strategy-rich episode, I sit down with Emily Stubbs, a legal expert turned Visibility CFO—to unpack the real reasons many visionary founders struggle with growth, margins, and funding readiness. Emily shares why popularity doesn’t equal profitability and how vague P&Ls are killing your ability to scale.

  6. Why Do So Many HealthTech Startups Stall After Early Traction with Dirk Schapeler

    JAN 7

    Why Do So Many HealthTech Startups Stall After Early Traction with Dirk Schapeler

    Why do so many healthtech startups gain early traction… and then suddenly stall? It’s usually not the tech. It’s not the vision. And it’s rarely a lack of effort. In this episode, I’m joined by Dirk Schapeler, President of Niterra Ventures (https://www.niterraventures.com/) — the venture arm of Niterra, a $5B Japanese technology company operating globally across automotive, medical, and industrial products. Dirk also serves as a board member at Arcondis Group, where he supports innovation strategy and global expansion. At HLTH, I sat down with Dirk to talk about what actually determines whether a healthcare company survives long enough to matter—especially in regulated, capital-intensive spaces like medtech, remote care, and diagnostics. If you’ve proven demand but growth feels harder than it should, this conversation is for you. This wasn’t a hype-filled conversation about AI buzzwords. It was a grounded discussion about patience, leadership evolution, and why healthcare scale is less about speed and more about systems, people, and partnerships. If you’re building in healthcare and wondering why momentum feels harder than it should… this episode will hit close to home. 🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:Why some of the most powerful healthcare innovations come from outside healthcareWhat investors really look for when regulation and reimbursement are unavoidableHow to think about unmet need vs. “interesting” ideas that won’t scaleWhy leadership evolution, not just vision, determines whether companies break through growth ceilingsHow combining technologies and partners creates defensibility most startups missWhat founders underestimate about human capital in regulated markets Episode Timeline: 00:00:00 – Why health tech stalls after early wins 00:04:04 – Why Japanese innovation looks at the U.S. market 00:07:02 – Cold plasma and the future of wound care 00:09:40 – Why wound care hasn’t changed in decades 00:11:27 – Combining therapies, not selling tools 00:13:05 – What investors really look for 00:15:31 – Patience, quality, and long-term thinking 00:18:08 – When founders hit the scaling wall 00:21:09 – Power of global collaboration 00:25:00 – The hard truth about regulated healthcare 00:27:03 – How to connect with Niterra Ventures 🎧 Related Episodes You’ll Love Why Most HealthTech Solutions Fail: The Hidden Gap Between Innovation and Implementation – This episode digs into the common pitfalls that healthtech founders face (particularly in scaling and market fit).

    Why Sports & Health Tech Founders Miss Their Next Round with Thomas Rudy

    How do top investors decide where to put their millions? Hint: It’s not just about your pitch deck. Raising capital isn’t just about vision—it’s about proving you have the team, traction, and exit potential to make your venture worth the risk. Thomas Rudy has reviewed over 1,500 startups a year, and in this episode, he reveals what separates the YESes from the NOs. If you've ever felt unsure whether you’re “venture-backable,” this episode will help you reflect on the gaps holding you back—and give you the clarity to fill them with confidence. You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to position your company for investor alignment—from defining scalability the VC way, to building a team that de-risks execution, to reverse engineering your exit potential. Most startups VCs pass on aren’t bad—they just aren’t venture-scale. In this candid conversation, you’ll learn how to be brutally honest about where your startup stands and what to do next. What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✔️ What VCs really mean when they say “you’re not scalable yet” ✔️ The critical difference between strategic board titles vs execution-ready teams ✔️ Why having “80% of funds go to tech” isn’t enough—and what to say instead ✔️ How to reverse engineer your exit using revenue, EBITDA, and industry multiples ✔️ Why some founders should skip VC entirely—and still win big Related Episodes You’ll Love Why Most HealthTech Solutions Fail: The Hidden Gap Between Innovation and Implementation – This episode digs into the common pitfalls that healthtech founders face (particularly in scaling and market fit).

    How Smart Founders Raise Capital Without a Final Product with MyPhuong Le

    If you’re a femtech founder building in silence and still waiting for real traction—this episode is your wake-up call. The funding isn’t always the problem. It’s the missing ecosystem. Dr. MyPhuong Le went from struggling in academic research to co-founding a manufacturing company and now leads a thriving innovation hub in San Diego. Together, we unpacked what early-stage founders really need beyond funding: role clarity, uncomfortable conversations, and teams that align in mission—not just skillsets. You’ll hear how women founders in health tech are hitting investor roadblocks—not because of poor solutions, but because too many rooms still treat menstrual health and menopause like taboo topics. MyPhuong shares how breaking that silence can shift capital, culture, and credibility. In this episode, you’ll learn: 🔶 Why building alone is one of the most dangerous things founders can do 🔶 What roles truly matter in your founding team (hint: it’s not just tech) 🔶 How femtech founders can win support—even when investors are uncomfortable 🔶 Why diverse voices in health tech are finally gaining traction, and how to be part of it 🔶 A 3-part co-founder framework to scale without burning out Dr. MyPhuong Le will be hosting the Global Innovation in Women’s Health Pitch Showcase 2026, with Sabrina Runbeck serving as a judge—especially for founders heading to JPM 2026.
