S1E1: Intro to the Guys & the Whys
Almost Clinical is THE podcast where healthcare, law, and business converge – and a passion project from the legal minds behind Buttaci, Leardi & Werner. In this debut episode, Vincent, John, and Paul introduce themselves and the inspiration behind the entire show’s concept.
In Intro the Guys & Whys, we set the stage for the type of informed, conversational, and occasionally irreverent discussion you can expect from our intrepid hosts – who emphasize that they are not only healthcare lawyers, but also business operators and healthcare industry translators.
You’ll learn why Almost Clinical exists, the unique value of our dialogue-driven format, and how evolving regulatory, business, and clinical realities require layered, strategic thinking.
And you’ll get a candid look behind the curtain into how top legal minds advise our clients – from solo practitioners to national health systems and institutional investors.
Our first-ever episode also previews major themes – from private equity integration to regulatory crackdowns to the evolution of the provider’s role as entrepreneur – that you can expect to hear in future discussions.
Highlights include:
- Why the legal, business, and clinical sides of healthcare can’t be siloed anymore.
- The firm’s conversational approach as a model for client service and decision-making.
- Real-world examples from transactions and disputes – what goes wrong, and how to fix it.
- The importance of aligning legal advice with client objectives and risk tolerance.
- Translation challenges between healthcare language and legal/business frameworks.
- Evolving roles of providers as entrepreneurs, executives, and dealmakers.
- Insights into trends like telehealth, PE consolidation, and the new face of litigation.
- A preview of future episodes covering PBMs, False Claims Act reforms, and leadership evolution in clinical careers.
With their distinct personalities and shared passion for real-world problem-solving, Vincent, John, and Paul lay the foundation for a thought-provoking, high-caliber series you’ll definitely want to follow!
