John Erwin is the CEO and Founder of Carenet Health, a health engagement and virtual care company serving more than 400 healthcare organizations across telehealth, patient access, and clinical navigation.
He describes Carenet's job as walking alongside the patient and making sure they take the next right action. Whether they need the ER or don't. Whether they picked up the prescription. The parts of care that happen outside the clinic, where most of a patient's health actually gets decided.
In this episode of DGTL Voices, John tells Ed about growing a business from 20 people, why he believes the healthcare consumer has more leverage now than at any point in his career, and the two skills he credits for everything that worked.

He skipped college entirely. In this episode of DGTL Voices, he tells Ed how a family health event in 2023 turned a general interest in automation into a specific obsession with healthcare, why he thinks the point solution era created more admin work than it removed, and what happens when a health system stops treating its fax volume as somebody's full-time job.
He also makes a case most CEOs would not make out loud: that vulnerability is an operating requirement, not a personality trait.

In this episode of DGTL Voices, Nish talks with Ed about the calcium-scoring model that inspired the company, why healthcare has to stop imposing drug-development timelines on modern software, and the governance shift he thinks hospital CEOs need to make: drive the cost of failure toward zero, iterate fast, and stop treating AI like a five-year plan. Plus his origin story from India to Saudi Arabia to Stanford, the difficult-conversations lesson he's learned about leadership, and why he doesn't buy the false dichotomy between clinical and administrative AI.

In this episode of DGTL Voices, Ashley sits down with Ed to talk about what it takes to build an applied AI function inside a major health system.

Plus the seventh-grade math teacher who shaped her trajectory, the mantra her dad gave her about Brinks trucks and funeral processions, and why she defines success today by what teams achieve together rather than individual metrics.

Phoebe Yang is the daughter of a single-parent Chinese immigrant father who raised three daughters in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. She went to law school intending to become a law professor, until her father was diagnosed with late-stage colorectal cancer and given four months to live. That moment changed everything.
From there, Phoebe built a career that spans AOL Time Warner (launching their China office), Discovery (turning around Discovery Health and doing early deals with Amazon, Google, and Microsoft when nobody else wanted them), the Obama administration's FCC, the Advisory Board Company, Amazon, and board roles at GE, Doximity, and CommonSpirit. She now teaches the business of AI at Stanford.
In this episode, Phoebe talks about why healthcare is the only industry where the greatest predictor of success is tied to how well you see the human being first, what curious humility means in a board role, why Socrates feared the written word the same way we fear AI, and what it means to sit alone in a Roman church with two Caravaggio paintings all day.

Rachini Moosavi is the Chief Analytics Officer at UNC Health, an 18-hospital system serving the state of North Carolina.
She's a first-generation American whose parents moved from Sri Lanka to Illinois. It took her until her late thirties to feel comfortable knowing exactly who she was, and that journey shaped how she leads today. Rachini started in consulting, fell into revenue cycle, and found her love of analytics there.

In this episode, Rachini talks about the Disney movie line that became her life mantra, leading UNC Health's sixth-largest Microsoft Fabric implementation worldwide, why vulnerability is a leadership superpower, and the advice she'd give every graduating class: it's perfectly okay to say "I don't know" when asked where you'll be in five years.

Now she's leading Care Reimagined, a multi-year digital transformation built on three promises: meaningfully improve the professional workday, create compassionate patient journeys, and steward resources wisely for the community. When Augusta Health's Dr. Snodgrass told Leigh that their AI physician assistant was the first time technology had been done for her as opposed to to her, it became a watershed moment for the entire organization. In this episode, Leigh talks about walkup songs for every day (not just keynotes), why she finally started baking brownies for her team, learning German at age 8 with no English-speaking teacher, and why now is not the time to take the foot off the pedal. https://marxadvisory.com
