In this episode of How I Doctor, Dr. Graham Walker talks with Dr. Jared Dashevsky, the founder of Healthcare Huddle, a newsletter that reaches over 20,000 healthcare professionals with its clear explanations of complex healthcare trends as well as original commentary and analysis from Dr. Dashevksy. . 

Dr. Dashevsky started Healthcare Huddle in medical school when he realized that many of his classmates didn’t understand important concepts like insurance reimbursement and PBMs which play a pivotal role in how medicine is practiced and how patients navigate their healthcare. He grew it quickly and monetized the audience, enabling his side hustle to become a meaningful source of income. 

After years of refining his writing skills and content planning, Dr. Dashevsky has found a way to balance his time through a robust content calendar and taking the time to read and understand the complicated topics he writes about. 

He breaks down these three keys to building out a newsletter business:

1. Write for a clear audience
2. Growth through partnerships
3. Clinical time is a competitive advantage
