This introductory episode features Dr. John Sanders along with his wife, Shaunna, and psychologist Mark Mauzy, discussing the adventure of starting a direct primary care clinic. Direct Primary Care as a model of healthcare delivery is gaining traction across the United States, in spite of, or perhaps because of, its grassroots, hyper-local nature. John talks about the experiences that drove him to chart a different course in healthcare and the ways that the direct care model has enabled him to deliver better medical care to the clients he serves. 

The conversation encompasses the importance of connection and trust in the doctor/patient relationship, the pain points of the current insurance-driven healthcare system, and the ways that direct primary care disrupts and innovates in the space to alleviate those pain points. Mark Mauzy shares his own experiences in direct primary care and the ways it has changed his perspective on healthcare. Shaunna discusses the challenges they faced with a new entrepreneurial venture and teaches about the importance of stories in healthcare and in our lives more broadly.
