Tony Michuda: Reverse Engineering the Journey

When he graduated from Notre Dame with a degree in Management Consulting, Tony didn't envision a journey through real estate to healthcare and, ultimately, his own start-up. But his natural inclination to jump at opportunities has put him in some interesting spaces and places. And whether he's standing in a NY high rise or a church parking lot in full PPE administering Covid tests, Tony feels well prepared to tackle the challenges thanks to a solid grounding in business and a strong EQ. His start-up, InHealth, has been literally on the front lines of the fight against Covid, first in Chicago and now also in Tampa. Tony gives us a great explanation of both the complicated medical and business issues that confound the health care space during a pandemic. Despite confidently pivoting to something completely new more than once, Tony also shares that it took him a minute to find his "why" in college, but that can make all the difference. He must be doing something right as he was recently named to the Forbes  Next 1000.
