What actually determines whether a healthcare business compounds, or quietly stalls? In this episode of Bright Spots in Healthcare, Eric Glazer sits down with Scott Becker, Founder and Publisher of Becker's Healthcare and host of the Becker Private Equity & Business Podcast, for a candid, experience-driven conversation about building businesses that scale with confidence. Scott has spent decades building, advising, and investing in companies across healthcare, media, law, and private equity. Rather than walking through a framework or checklist, this conversation focuses on the real decisions founders and operators are facing right now, especially in a market defined by long sales cycles, regulated buyers, capital pressure, and increasing scrutiny on value. Using Scott's new book, Building Great Businesses, as a backbone, the discussion explores how leaders can cut through noise and false urgency to focus on what actually matters. In this episode, we cover: The difference between motion and real momentum in healthcare go-to-market Why founders often mistake pilots, logos, or activity for traction What healthcare leaders tend to over-optimize early, and under-invest in What true product-market fit looks like when buyers are risk-averse Why niche focus and reference customers matter more in healthcare than in other sectors How and when outside capital helps—and when it quietly distorts focus Why the right people matter more than the right idea when building enduring businesses This episode is designed for founders, operators, and senior leaders who are already in the arena, and want clearer thinking about the few decisions that truly determine long-term success.
