The Jack Eason Podcast – Episode 014 – Will Wright

Will Wright is CEO of a health coaching company which discovered the epidemic of loneliness before many others. “The biggest problem is the feeling of isolation you get when you don’t buy into what you’re doing or the culture, and you don’t have a healthy outlet to talk about it,” he said. Jack Eason takes time to dive deeper into Will’s TEDx Talk.

Will Wright was an expert in the ever-changing world of health care, where costs have been rising faster than inflation since the mid-60s.

At McKinsey, he traveled almost constantly, dissecting gigabytes of claims data to help insurance companies mitigate risk and squeeze more profits from the highly competitive health-care field.

He was good at it, too, though, then only in his early 30s, Wright was paying dearly for his success.

“The biggest problem is the feeling of isolation you get when you don’t buy into what you’re doing or the culture, and you don’t have a healthy outlet to talk about it,” he said.
