Awesome show
The Host with the Most - I had the pleasure of recording an episode with Meredith recently and loved the experience. I found her to be incredibly smart and really challenged me and brought out the best in our interaction.

Meredith brings such great energy and warmth to every episode, making even complex topics feel accessible and engaging.

Incredible value and insights!
Amazing show! It's rare to have a podcast with such depth of experience being brought by operators and practitioners in the field. A great look not only into the healthcare system overall, but an insightful perspective into what works from the people actually in the trenches.
Increase Awareness - Must Listen Podcast
Meredith brings to light continued issues with our healthcare system. Love hearing from someone who is passionate about doing the right thing for the overall health of patients like me.
Solid listen, kept me engaged
As someone who wouldn't typically listen to a podcast on healthcare, I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. I appreciated how it was set up so that the base knowledge was provided in the beginning and then built on as it progressed. Prior experiences regarding your former business decisions, how you got into the health realm, etc. gave me good insight as a new listener.Overall great listen!
