Ep 235 — Disrupting Hate with Bert Brodsky

Serial entrepreneur and philanthropist Bert Brodsky joins host Ken Schachter for a straight-talk masterclass on building things that actually help people. From scrappy bottle-return hustles to pioneering electronic claims, EVV timekeeping, and a top PBM, Bert maps a career spent fixing gnarly problems at the intersection of health care, policy, and tech. He recalls investing in early MRI, founding Mobile Health, scaling Sandata, and why reading the fine print (yes, the manual) is a superpower. On the philanthropic front, Bert opens up about starting the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, hands-on support for FIDF IMPACT! scholars, and steering a continuum-of-care senior campus—plus a candid look at antisemitism and how to keep humanity in the conversation. It’s pragmatic optimism with receipts—and a blueprint for young builders who want to ship real impact, not just slide decks.

You’ll learn:

• How “read the manual” becomes a business edge
• Why telemedicine + AI will drive the next care revolution
• The origin story of EVV and its taxpayer impact
• What families really need in the Alzheimer’s journey
• A no-nonsense approach to disrupting hate—person to person
