In this episode of Traversing Entrepreneurship, Derek Dall’Olmo sits down with Saul Marquez, founder and CEO of Outcomes Rocket, to unpack what it really takes to go from a secure corporate healthcare job to building a thriving business.
You’ll hear how Saul made the leap into entrepreneurship with the support of his wife, why marketing in healthcare is non-negotiable, and how to use owned, earned, and paid media the right way. They dig into testimonials as earned media, using podcasting as a growth engine, and why you should never start with paid ads before you have a clear strategy.
If you’re a healthcare entrepreneur, marketer, or business owner looking to grow through authentic, strategic marketing, this conversation is packed with practical insight.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
– How Saul went from corporate healthcare to starting Outcomes Rocket
– Why having a strong support system matters when you launch a business
– The difference between owned, earned, and paid marketing—and how they work together
– How to turn testimonials into powerful earned media
– Why podcasting is one of the best tools for building authority and trust
– When procrastination is really a signal to delegate instead of push through
– How to think about your unique selling proposition so your business stands out
