In this eye-opening episode of Living Undeterred, Jeff Johnston sits down with Dr. Nate Harold, Chief Pharmacy Officer at MedOne, for a vulnerable and visionary conversation about family, faith, and the broken state of pharmaceutical care. What starts as a discussion about PBMs and prescription access quickly unfolds into a story of personal trauma, moral courage, and system-wide reform.

Together, Jeff and Dr. Harold explore how their shared experiences with addiction and loss have fueled a mission to rethink mental wellness from the inside out.

  • The dangerous misalignment between profit and patient care in prescription benefits
  • How faith, service, and transparency can guide organizational leadership
  • Why holistic mental wellness must include financial literacy and purpose
  • The future of AI as a tool for connection, not just information

šŸ’” ā€œIf you’re unhappy, don’t settle—pivot. Change the game.ā€ – Dr. Nate Harold
