    I pity the healthcare leader who doesn't listen to the HEALTHCARE RAP! I need my flava of the week, to stay in the FLOW. Seriously Jared continues to do an amazing job with this insightful, innovative, energy filled, entertaining podcast. He has super guests, keeps things real and causal, and always delivers value. Not only is the content stellar, but he production value is solid as well. Please keep it going.

    Jared & Peter really but some effort into this. If you are listening this to copy their idea and thoughts you might be missing what I feel might be the point they are trying to get across. Thank you guys for putting this out there! You had an impact for me that will be huge and I don’t think it was your intention, but for people looking for a way to change your thinking as you said it helps to empathize!!! Thanks again!!!

Wei-Li Shao on Omada's IPO & the Rapidly Evolving GLP-1 Market (#501)
Q: What did Omada's Q4 earnings and IPO signal for the company's trajectory?
Omada reported strong member and revenue growth, a profitable fourth quarter, and forecasted profitability for the year, with GLP-1 initiatives serving as a catalyst alongside expansion into broader cardiometabolic programs, indicating solid momentum and reinvestment into growth.
Wei-Li Shao on Omada's IPO & the Rapidly Evolving GLP-1 Market (#501)
Q: What's happening in the GLP-1 marketplace right now?
Wei-Li outlines three major dynamics: (1) multiple formulations and administration routes creating clinical complexity, (2) price and access dislocation across Medicare, DTC, and PBMs driving channel competition, and (3) a proliferation of access-benefit options as employers, plans, and direct-to-consumer approaches evolve, all of which demand better coordination and clinical oversight.
How Array is Connecting Behavioral Health Experiences (#505)
Q: Give us a little bit more about who you are and what you do from your background. What would you like our listeners to know?
