In this episode, we break down how hourly pricing emerged from male dominated consulting models, why it rewards speed and constant availability, and how that harms women, especially mothers and anyone who cannot or does not want to sell 40 hours a week. We explore value based pricing as a feminist position that centers impact, insight and emotional labor instead of hours, and what it means for women to step into roles as strategists, decision makers and value definers without simply reinforcing the existing system.

Value-based enterprises depend on timely, accurate data, yet the rules that govern how that data moves between the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), accountable care organizations, payors, and providers remain complex and often inconsistent. On this episode, Epstein Becker Green attorneys Kevin Malone and Karen Mandelbaum unpack the regulatory frameworks shaping data exchange in value-based care. They outline how federal privacy laws, CMS rules, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and state requirements intersect; why CMS-sourced data operates under a different regime than Medicare Advantage; and where organizations face the biggest operational hurdles when using, sharing, and governing data across large networks. Key Takeaways: Distinct Legal Frameworks: CMS data is controlled by the Privacy Act, while Medicare Advantage data falls under HIPAA. Disclosure Tracking Requirements: CMS data use agreements demand strict tracking and downstream compliance. Operational Data Challenges: Silos and uneven data quality remain major barriers to effective value-based care. Tune in to learn how today's rules shape data access, data quality, and the real-world mechanics of value-based care.

In this episode, I sat down with Angela Diaz who is a physical therapist and business leader that saw the opportunity for PTs to be integrated into primary care... a long time ago! She has worked with accountable care organizations (ACOs) which help primary care doctors learn strategies to optimize patient care delivery in order to reduce cost under value-based payment arrangement.

What will be the SaaS Pricing Strategy 2026? In this episode, Joran sits down with Tjitte Joosten—known as T.J.—to discuss the evolving world of SaaS pricing and how founders can adapt to change without losing momentum. T.J. works full-time in pricing and packaging for SaaS and AI companies. Before that, he spent years in early-stage ventures, helping them find product-market fit and close major deals. Those experiences taught him how to win large accounts without over-discounting and how to leave room for long-term growth.Through that process, T.J. discovered that pricing is not just about numbers but also about psychology and behavioral economics. The same solution can sell for $10,000 or $50,000 depending on the story told. After meeting his co-founder, who was already working in pricing, T.J. transitioned into it full-time—and it became his passion.Their conversation explores how SaaS pricing is evolving, how to experiment with models safely, when to raise prices, how to communicate changes effectively, and how freemium models may evolve in the AI era.Key Timecodes(0:00) - B2B SaaS & AI Pricing Expert(0:05) - TJ Joosten on Value Storytelling(1:13) - Future of SaaS Pricing 2026(1:28) - Why Hybrid Pricing Wins(3:10) - The Pricing Switch Risk(3:27) - Technical Debt of Pricing(5:15) - How to Test New Pricing(6:40) - Entitlement & Packaging(7:13) - When to Raise Prices(8:49) - Timing Strategy: Netflix Case(10:04) - Communicating Price Changes(11:10) - Freemium in the AI Era(12:33) - The Cost of Free Users(13:38) - From $0 to $10K MRR(14:42) - Scaling to $10M ARR(15:56) - The Founder's Role in Pricing(16:32) - Connect with TJ Joosten

In this Bright Spots in Healthcare episode, host Eric Glazer brings together an all-star panel of leaders who are reshaping the future of Medicaid and social care. Our guests include: Vanita Pindolia, Vice President, Medicare Star Ratings, Emergent Holdings (BlueCross BlueShield Michigan) Jason Merola, MD, Chief Medical Officer, MVP Health Care Charlotta Eriksson, Lead Director, National VBC Partnerships (Specialty), Aetna Mary O'Connor, MD, Chief Medical Officer & Co-Founder, Vori Together, they explore: How Medicare Advantage plans are embedding Stars, CAHPS, and adherence metrics directly into provider contracts to drive accountability, improve quality, and sustain year-over-year performance gains. How payers like Aetna are expanding value-based care into specialty domains—from CKD and oncology to musculoskeletal and cardiology—by partnering with specialty-aligned organizations rather than converting individual specialists to risk models. How MVP Health Care is designing hybrid incentive structures that reward specialists for closing quality gaps and improving outcomes, without requiring full downside risk. Why MSK care is becoming pivotal to Stars success, as physical and mental health measures grow in weight through 2027, and how holistic, physician-led models are improving activity, satisfaction, and cost savings simultaneously. How digital-first specialty networks are solving access challenges, reducing “ghost network” exposure, and creating new opportunities for plans to meet CMS adequacy standards while improving the member experience. How collaboration across utilization management, Stars, and member experience teams helps avoid trade-offs, ensuring that cost controls don't come at the expense of satisfaction or CAHPS performance.
