Steve and Trevor talk to Senator Bill Frist, M.D. and Brad Smith, co-founders of Aspire Health, a leader in the palliative care space. During Senator Frist’s years representing Tennessee in the Senate from 1994-2006, he served on both the Finance and the Health Committees; he was instrumental in passing the Medicare Modernization Act and was ultimately elected Majority Leader of the Senate in 2003, after which he played an integral role in passing the Affordable Care Act. Brad Smith is rising entrepreneur who spent his early career as Chief of Staff at the Tennessee Department of Economic Development. Senator Frist and Brad discuss the path to founding Aspire Health, what they’ve learned in their three years since their first patient, and what it means to create an end of life experience filled with humanity and healing. The two share their experiences and advice for aspiring entrepreneurs.
