Joe Brown
While DearDoc founder Joe Brown was in college, he unlocked his secret talent while at his part-time job: Sales skills, which he first uncovered after he nearly shattered the company's sales record in his first day on the job.
Brown's father, an entrepreneur in his own right, invested countless hours in Brown's development through high school and college, spending hours on the phone talking about sales strategies and entrepreneurship and encouraging his son any way he could. Brown said he often thinks about his father's legacy as he continues to grow his company, which offers cloud-based software solutions to reinvent the way new patients meet their doctor.
"He passed away just a few months before I was set to graduate," he said. "I think about all our conversations and the lessons he shared with me, and they definitely guided me as I founded DearDoc."
DearDoc, a practice-growth platform with a suite of services designed to touch every step of the patient journey, was built around a single mission: to provide patients and doctors with healthcare-focused solutions. While the company didn't have any investors when it first came on the scene, it has since grown to over 2,500 clients and a growing team.
"We've definitely built something meaningful together," he said. "We've been able to innovate in our industry and overcome the challenges brought on by the pandemic, and that definitely wouldn't have been possible without the entire DearDoc team."
As Brown looks toward the future, he said he's excited to continue expanding the DearDoc team and looks forward to the growth that will come about as a result.
"Life is a continuous journey of learning," Brown said. "If new challenges look like events trying to bring you down instead of an opportunity to grow and evolve, you need to develop your mindset. It's impossible to fail at anything unless you give up."
