In this episode of Founders, Future, host Jae Encarnacion sits down with Dr. Scott Green, CEO and Co-Founder of G2 Consulting Group, a Potomac-based firm transforming how health-focused organizations navigate the federal marketplace. With a unique blend of clinical psychology expertise and 20+ years in federal business development, Scott shares how G2 bridges the gap between bureaucratic inefficiencies and community needs—helping nonprofits and corporations secure government funding while maintaining mission-driven impact. From his transition from clinician to consultant, Scott reveals why blending public health knowledge with federal procurement strategies is the "secret sauce" behind G2’s success.

Scott dives into the challenges of scaling a boutique consultancy, balancing long government sales cycles with commercial client demand, and leveraging AI (like ChatGPT) to streamline proposals without losing the human touch. He also unpacks his vision for 2025—expanding into state/local contracts and small-business innovation grants—while emphasizing the power of patience: "Be comfortable being uncomfortable; growth isn’t linear." A must-listen for mission-driven entrepreneurs navigating complex regulatory landscapes.
