Episode 387 of The VentureFizz Podcast features John Voith, CEO & Co-Founder of InStride Health.

A common theme for John that you’ll hear throughout the interview is how he has always followed his head and heart. It’s a philosophy, where you can build something meaningful for the world that fulfills your interests yet has a mission to help people. Healthcare is certainly an industry where one can have an impact and what’s interesting is that he has never wavered. As you’ll learn, John’s interest in healthcare began as a child and it has followed through his career and entrepreneurial journey.
