In this episode, Leah Solivan sits down with Halle Tecco to explore healthcare as one of the most complex, resistant, and consequential systems in American life.\nHalle Tecco is a founder, investor, educator, and system-level thinker who has spent her career seeing around corners in healthcare. From founding Rock Health to backing health innovators, building companies, teaching, writing, and pushing the industry to prove what actually works, Halle has been asking the questions healthcare often avoids: who gets care, who gets left behind, who benefits from complexity, and what would it take to build something meaningfully better?\nThe conversation traces Halle's path from a practical Midwest upbringing to the early days of digital health, the rise of Rock Health, the pandemic's impact on healthcare technology, and the ideas behind her book, Massively Better Healthcare. Leah and Halle explore access, trust, data, incentives, patient power, women in healthcare leadership, founder responsibility, and why healthcare needs builders who are willing to understand the whole system, not just the product they are trying to sell.\n## Relaunch Context\nThis episode originally captured a moment when healthcare innovation was moving from early digital health optimism into a more serious conversation about proof, trust, outcomes, and responsibility. The replay is preserved because those questions have only become more urgent: how to use technology without losing humanity, how to fix incentives that reward the wrong outcomes, and how to build healthcare systems that serve more people instead of simply extracting more value from them.\nKey Insights\nHealthcare access is shaped by income, geography, race, job, literacy, time, and support, not only by clinical care.\nEngagement...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ZnB7esk3hxfFIoNnysnaXcdcNStXN6Vgj5GFpWxsycY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hZTZl/N2FhYTdlYjFlYjNj/MjZjZjU3MGMxYWM0/YWVlZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
