Summary

Doug Hirsch, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of GoodRx, isn’t afraid to tackle really complex problems, but he’s the first to admit that he doesn’t have all the answers. His solution? Focusing on what he’s good at and then surrounding himself with really smart people who can handle the rest. It’s that kind of strategic thinking that has made GoodRx a runaway success, helping people save over $9 billion in prescription drug expenses since its launch in 2011. Tune in as Doug shares his motivation for bringing transparency to healthcare pricing, the lessons he’s learned along the way, and his advice for entrepreneurs everywhere. entreleadership.com/podcast GoodRx website We want your opinion!
