À propos de cet audio

 On this episode of #TheShot of #DigitalHealth therapy, Jim Joyce and I finally sat down with Amy Cosler, a dynamic healthcare leader who rose from old-school hospital sales to driving transformation across Livongo -> Teladoc Health, Lyra Health, and now Carrum Health. Amy shares stories from her early days "carrying a bag" (if you know, you know), navigating to hospital basements with paper maps, transforming a 65-year-old public company, being part of Livongo’s IPO, and leading sales in the exploding employer benefits space. She opens up about resilience, family, leadership, and why kindness and grit are not mutually exclusive. This conversation delivers deep insights for founders, sales leaders, employer-benefit innovators, and anyone navigating the rapidly evolving healthcare economy. 📉 Employers demand real savings ⏱️ Buying cycles are compressing 💸 Utilization pricing opens doors 🤝 Culture drives adoption 🏥 Value-based care delivers impact Fun mentions as always: Jim Pursley, Glen Tullman, Sean McBride, David Ebersman and many more... 00:00 – Opening banter; year-end episodes; creative side projects 03:00 – Introducing guest Amy Cosler 04:00 – Early life: oldest of four, Illinois upbringing, healthcare family roots 05:30 – First job: carrying the bag for Medaflex; 4:00 AM training rides; selling skin-prep products 09:00 – Early sales journey; winning President’s Club; joining Baxter 11:00 – Intrapreneurial experience: building a startup inside Allegiance 13:00 – Cardinal Health acquisition; leadership influences 15:00 – Transformation at Landauer; building radiation monitoring + medical physics business 20:00 – Culture shock moving from startups to legacy healthcare 23:00 – Deep dive into early clinical sales environment (maps, suits, coffee, meetings) 27:00 – Divestiture, financial success, personal reset 28:00 – Meeting her husband; triathlons; writing the first version of her book 30:00 – Enter Livongo: shifting from hospitals to employer benefits 33:00 – Livongo culture, mission focus, member empathy 35:00 – Teladoc acquisition; overnight customer communications 38:00 – Pivot to Lyra; leading sales in mental health 39:30 – Joining Carrum; value-based care for surgery, cancer, SUD 41:00 – Employer trend challenges; cost inflation; need for bold solutions 45:00 – The misconception that kindness isn’t compatible with toughness 46:00 – Lessons for entrepreneurs selling to employers 49:00 – PEPM vs utilization-based pricing 51:00 – Looking ahead; entrepreneurial future; completing her book 52:00 – Jim’s narrative future-casting question 54:00 – Amy’s emotional answer: focus on family 55:00 – Closing and thank you
