The Modern TPA - Healthsmart - Craig Julien - CEO

The Modern TPA - Tech when you need it, people when you don't.

In episode 56 of Self-Funded with Spencer, I sit down with the CEO of HealthSmart, Craig Julien. Craig is a fascinating person, being an avid Triathlete, Mountain Climber, and a World Record Skydiver, while also running a very successful Third Party Administrator.

Throughout his career, Craig has always been willing to raise his hand to take on more responsibility, or a new opportunity, even moving to India for a few years to run a company.

I have sat down with numerous Founders and CEO's, and Craig's story is right up there with the best of them.
