About this podcast
The Outcomes Rocket podcast brings you conversations with the healthcare leaders actually building the future of care. Hosted by Saul Marquez, founder and CEO of Outcomes Rocket and a 17 year medical device veteran.
Every episode goes deep with one operator: a health system executive, a medtech commercial leader, a health tech founder, a clinician, an investor. They talk about what they’re building, what broke along the way, and what they’d do differently.
With more than 2,000+ episodes in the archive, this is one of the largest libraries of healthcare leadership interviews anywhere. No fluff, no press release talk. Just people who’ve done the work telling you how they did it.
If you’re responsible for outcomes, revenue, or both, you’ll leave each episode with something you can use this week.
New episodes weekly.
