Life in America can be seen through several lenses, each offering its own perspective on day to day life.  In this Episode of Humans, Now and Then, I speak to Greg Roedersheimer, the owner of Roedy Consulting Group and the host of the Suburban Folk podcast, about his work in healthcare, his views on Suburban life, and about one of his favorite topics, finance.

Greg's Bio:

Greg is an operations and analytics professional focused primarily on healthcare and government programs in the United States. His specialty is working with technical, analytical, clinical and operations resources to maximize workflows, develop KPIs, and implement methodologies for accurately tracking performance and financials.

He is the owner of Roedy Consulting Group who applies the same approach to other industries such as finance. The company’s goal is to equip non-technical clients with tools to easily manage their day to day business and streamline their operations.
