Scaling Healthcare with Data, Empathy & Grit — Jason Bryll’s Entrepreneurial Journey

What does it take to build a thriving healthcare data analytics company from scratch—without investors, without a team, and without a fancy office?

In this powerful episode of The Proven Entrepreneur Show, host Don Williams sits down with Jason Bryll, founder and CEO of Parable Associates, to unpack the real story behind scaling a healthcare startup that’s now helping hundreds of providers streamline operations, improve cash flow, and expand access to care.

Jason’s journey didn’t begin with a business plan or a boardroom. It started in a closet-sized home office, armed with nothing but a laptop, a vision, and a deep empathy for the healthcare industry—an empathy rooted in his own experiences as a patient. From battling severe acne in childhood to undergoing LASIK surgery, Jason’s personal health challenges shaped his mission: to empower providers with better data so they can deliver better care.

But this episode isn’t just about data. It’s about resilience, relationships, and the real cost of growth.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

• How Parable Associates helps MSOs (Managed Service Organizations) and DSOs (Dental Service Organizations) navigate the chaos of scaling with smart systems and healthcare-specific analytics
• Why Jason believes entrepreneurship is not for everyone—and the brutal truths he’d tell his 21-year-old self
• The moment he realized his company was selling services at a loss—and how that painful lesson transformed his leadership
• How building systems like Asana-based project management saved his business from collapsing during rapid growth
• Why relationships matter more than cold outreach—and how face-to-face networking beats 3,000 automated emails every time
• Insights from legendary leaders like Herb Kelleher of Southwest Airlines, and how Jason applies those lessons to his own team culture
• The importance of seeing employees not just as workers, but as families you’re responsible for

This episode is a masterclass in entrepreneurial strategy, healthcare innovation, and human-centered leadership. It’s packed with real-world insights for founders, executives, and anyone navigating the complex world of healthcare business.
