Broken Healthcare

From Holes in His Shoes to Healing Healthcare: The Adam Russo Story | Broken Healthcare Podcast #44


Listen Later

In this gripping and wildly entertaining episode of Broken Healthcare, Ray Kober sits down with Adam V. Russo — a streetwise legal maverick who grew up in a Polish neighborhood in Dorchester, Massachusetts, and went on to co-found The Phia Group, a powerhouse in healthcare cost containment.


Adam pulls no punches as he shares his journey from working-class roots, single-mom hustle, and duct-taped shoes… to building a multimillion-dollar company that’s disrupting the bloated U.S. healthcare system from the inside. You'll hear how a dream formed at age 12, a job that didn’t pay commission, and a homemade kielbasa gift all played pivotal roles in launching a career — and a mission.


This episode is packed with humor, grit, and deep insights into the legal blind spots of self-funded healthcare. If you care about leveling the playing field for employers and workers—and want a story that punches harder than a Rocky training montage—you won’t want to miss this.
