Hosted by Helen Tanner, MPH, PA-C, The Early Hires Podcast centers the voices of clinicians building healthcare startups from the inside. Helen brings years of clinical and executive experience, translating real-world challenges into thoughtful, grounded conversations.

Each episode features clinicians and clinical leaders navigating early-stage companies, sharing honest stories about leadership pressure, evolving roles, business realities, and career decisions. Solo episodes offer reflection and perspective from lived experience, not theory. This podcast exists to normalize the complexity of early startup life for clinicians and to create connection through shared understanding. If you are building without a clear roadmap and wondering if your experience is normal, this space is for you.
