They talk about what they’re building, what broke along the way, and what they’d do differently. With more than 2,000+ episodes in the archive, this is one of the largest libraries of healthcare leadership interviews anywhere. No fluff, no press release talk. Just people who’ve done the work telling you how they did it. If you’re responsible for outcomes, revenue, or both, you’ll leave each episode with something you can use this week.
