About this episode

Johnny Hilbrant joins Liat to discuss the implications of private equity in behavioral health and its societal perceptions.

We invited a PE guy onto the podcast. Please hold your tomatoes. Johnny Hilbrant, the internet's favorite parody of the private equity finance bro, joins Liat to break down why "private equity" has become a dirty word in behavioral health, what PE actually is in plain English, and what the behavioral science of wealth, status, and rich guy energy can actually teach us about ourselves.
