![]() Whether it’s finding resources, access to capital, or access to talent, you must learn how to find ways to attract the things you need to be successful. You find a way no matter what the challenge is. It’s just innate in a lot of successful entrepreneurs. What qualities are most important to possess as an entrepreneur? You have to learn to take each day for what it is, not get too high, not get too low and try to “stay on 5” as much as possible. It’s a never ending burrage of challenges. You can have the greatest conversation or success at 9AM and literally an hour later an employee quits or you have some fire to put out. It can happen in a 24 hour period in entrepreneurship. I’ve learned that has diminishing returns. I think what tends to happen is to be all over that emotional time horizon. It’s easy to get sky high if you have success or something goes well. I call it “staying on 5” – from a personality standpoint, it’s easy to get down to 0 or 1 if you have a bad day or something going wrong. What is the most challenging thing about being an entrepreneur and how have you worked to overcome this challenge? The app allows them to put in their orders, diagnoses, prescriptions and billing codes in a much easier and faster way. We help them focus back on the patient in those physician exam room interactions by allowing them to either record on an apple watch that sends that audio to a virtual scribe that inputs all that information on behalf of the physician or using a digital documentation solution in the form of a mobile app we created. You go see your physician now and more often than not you’re going to be staring at the back of their head because they’re so inundated in the computer systems. Our reason for existing is to give physicians their lives back, the ability to have good quality interactions and give patients good eye contact. There’s a lot of after hours documentation time which really detracts from what they’re there to do, which is see patients and provide them with good quality care. Most despise the amount of work and data entry requirements it takes to document and keep up consistently throughout the day. Physicians hate computers and they’re not good with them. If you talk to any physician today they’ll typically tell you the bane of their existence is electronic health record documentation. IScribeHealth is a mobile documentation platform that’s designed to make life easier for physicians. What is your company and where did the idea come from? What served as the the biggest motivator or influence in starting your company? We grew tremendously over the 3 to 5 years I was there and it was during that process that a lot of the ideas for iScribeHealth came to fruition. I worked closely with the co-founders and quickly fell in love with the process. I got to be heavily involved in all components of the sales, marketing and business development. That was really my front row seat to entrepreneurship in healthcare in Nashville. I said absolutely and went to work for this startup company called Entrada. Luckily, I got that opportunity after working for this large conglomerate when a colleague of mine who I knew before business school reached out asking if I would be interested in starting a business with him. That was a real passion and I wanted to get back into that environment. Prior to going to business school, I had worked for small and medium sized businesses primarily in health care and health care technology. I felt blessed to have a job, given the difficult time, but I quickly realized working for a big conglomerate in the back office of a billing office was not the right fit for me and my personality. I worked in the billing office of a hospital system and it was not the glamorous lifestyle I envisioned coming out of school. I gave that a shot and went to work for Dell Perot Systems working in revenue management. ![]() Coming out of school I thought I wanted to be a healthcare administrator so I focused on the Healthcare MBA program. I graduated Owen in 2009 in the midst of the financial crisis. Could you provide a brief recap of your career since graduating? ![]()
