Episode notes

Want to unlock your limits as CEO? Come join us: In this episode, I sit down with Justin Mares, co-founder of TrueMed and Founder Health, to unpack a topic most founders ignore until it’s too late: your health is part of your business model. Justin shares how he built companies around prevention instead of reaction and why founder energy, clarity, and resilience directly compound into better decisions, stronger leadership, and long-term business growth. We talk about the hidden costs of burnout, why traditional healthcare fails entrepreneurs, and how treating health like infrastructure changed the way Justin builds. If you’re scaling a company, leading a team, or feeling the weight of constant decision-making, this conversation reframes health not as self-care, but as a strategic advantage. Watch now to learn how elite founders protect their most undervalued asset: themselves. Justin Mares
