Listen Later

In the latest episode of the Executive Room podcast, host Kimberly Afonso sits down with Trevor Colhoun, the CEO and founder of TPN Health, to explore how technology, data, and a marketplace approach can transform one of the most complex and underserved sectors in healthcare, behavioral health.

Trevor shares how applying marketplace infrastructure and digital systems can bring clarity to behavioral health by improving access, reducing costs, and driving better outcomes for patients, providers, and payers.

The episode covers:

  • Why behavioral health lacks a clear value proposition

  • How TPN is building a digital hospital network for mental health

  • The disconnect between providers, payers, and data in healthcare systems

  • What it takes to build trust and scale a provider-first platform

  • Trevor’s insights on leadership and company culture

  • The role of LinkedIn, AI, and visibility in modern leadership

Trevor also shares his philosophy on building companies with intention, from hiring for character over skill to creating cultures rooted in honesty, accountability, and purpose.

If you’re a founder, executive, or operator in healthcare or any other complex industry, you definitely won’t want to miss this conversation.
