Radio Advisory is rounding out its healthcare disruptor series with an episode about possibly the biggest disruptor of all – Amazon.

In this episode, Rachel (Rae) Woods invites digital health experts John League and Ty Aderhold to discuss why Amazon’s investments – and failures – are a catalyst for the rest of the industry (and where they are going next).
