INTERVIEW | Make Money by Solving Expensive Healthcare Headaches with Marly Brodsky

from Travis Makes Money · host Travis Chappell

Marly Brodsky is an international healthcare expert, licensed health educator, and CEO of Med Companion—a groundbreaking virtual patient advocacy service designed to bring humanity back into healthcare. After losing her grandmother to cancer due to gaps in the system, Marly left a high-level corporate healthcare role (where she led 15,000+ employees) to build a solution that helps patients navigate appointments, insurance, billing errors, and life-changing diagnoses. Recognized by Forbes and Psychology Today, Marly is on a mission to become the “human prescription” patients desperately need. On this episode we talk about: The broken gaps in the healthcare system—and why they cost patients time, money, and even lives Why Marly quit her corporate job overnight to start her company How patient advocacy can save thousands in medical billing mistakes The emotional toll of navigating cancer diagnoses and complex care Building awareness for a service people don’t know they need—until it’s too late Top 3 Takeaways Time is everything in healthcare. Delays, missed appointments, and insurance red tape can drastically impact outcomes—especially with serious diagnoses like cancer. Medical bills are often negotiable or incorrect. Having an advocate can save you thousands simply by catching coding errors or fighting improper charges. Entrepreneurship requires courage. Marly “burned the boats,” left a comfortable executive role, and built a mission-driven company despite uncertainty and fear. Notable Quotes “When you're sick and not feeling well, that’s the most dangerous place to be navigating the system alone.” “Time is everything—especially for cancer patients.” “Healthcare shouldn’t be stressful. Go enjoy your life and let us handle the in-betweens.” Connect with Marly Brodsky: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marlybrodsky/ Instagram (Marlee): https://www.instagram.com/marly_brodsky/ Instagram (Company): https://www.instagram.com/medcompanion.co/ Website: https://medcompanion.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.
