From Green Hill to Advaita Health: Navigating Brand Confusion and Organizational Change


Listen Later

This week on Open-Source Health, we take you behind the curtain of our own brand evolution—where it’s worked, where we’ve failed, and what’s next. Tripp and Marcus open up about the messy, iterative process of defining who we are as an organization, especially as we’ve grown from Green Hill Recovery to AIM to Advaita Health.

We unpack how our identity has shifted alongside our services, values, and long-term vision. From conversations about mastery and failure to reflections on accessibility in healthcare, this is a raw and honest look at what it takes to grow an organization with integrity. Plus, we get personal with Marcus’s journey into health, fitness, and contemplative practice, shaped by his roots in Eastern North Carolina.

If you’ve ever wrestled with branding, scaling, or making values-driven decisions in healthcare, this one’s for you.

Takeaways:

  • Why mastery is a slow, failure-filled process—and why that’s a good thing
  • How our brand has evolved from Green Hill Recovery to Advaita Health
  • Lessons learned from missteps in branding and communication
  • The tension between who we are now and who we’re becoming
  • Personal reflections on health, identity, and leadership growth
