Welcome to Episode 93. Jonathan Chen joins us this week. He is a repeat founder and tech leader with an established record of successful growths and exits. What I loved most about speaking with Johnathan was how he's able to provide creative tech solutions to expensive and persistent problems for healthcare providers.  Jonathan shared that it was his own frustration with medical practice inefficiencies on a personal health journey that drove him to start Nitro to help healthcare providers. Ultimately, he wants to help providers focus on what they do best, which is to serve their patients.  Nitra helps doctors spend smarter, make better decisions on how to allocate time and financial resources, and build a more efficient and better future. Nitra does this with back office solutions.  Jonathan's parting wisdom is: Hire well. Invest in your people. Give them the tools they need, listen to their solutions and help them solve their problems.  There's a lot to process for this non-tech person, and I found myself filled with awe about how Johnathan and his team are able to come up with so many creative solutions. Give this episode a listen to hear about what they've got planned. Bio: Jonathan is a repeat founder and tech leader with an established record of successful growth and exits.
