I READ ALL MY EMAILS - contact form on my website - www.bogumilbaranowski.com. TELL ME YOUR STORY. I’m Bogumil Baranowski, an author, a TEDx speaker, an investor, and an investment advisor to families and individuals. Intimate conversations about money, wealth, and living a rich and fulfilling life. We talk about big ideas, big inspirations, big topics. We take on the hardest subject of all – money: how to make it, save it, keep it, but our conversations lead us to an even bigger question — what it means to live a rich life beyond money. NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-26T14:18:38.688899+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/talking-billions-with-bogumil-baranowski-5857987"},"episode":{"title":"Eric Pachman: The Data America Doesn't Want You to See, From Hypothermia to Purpose — Healthcare, Jobs, Burnout, and Finding Work Worth Doing","slug":"eric-pachman-the-data-america-doesn-t-want-you-to-see-from-hypothermia-to-purpose-healthcare-jobs-burnout-and-finding-work-worth-doing","published_at":"2026-06-01T07:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/talking-billions-with-bogumil-baranowski-5857987/eric-pachman-the-data-america-doesn-t-want-you-to-see-from-hypothermia-to-purpose-healthcare-jobs-burnout-and-finding-work-worth-doing","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/talking-billions-with-bogumil-baranowski-5857987","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/talking-billions/episodes/Eric-Pachman-The-Data-America-Doesnt-Want-You-to-See--From-Hypothermia-to-Purpose--Healthcare--Jobs--Burnout--and-Finding-Work-Worth-Doing-e3k5r4u","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/bc3d43f4/podcast/play/120826462/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-5-1%2F425269807-44100-2-d02e9b805fd0e.mp3","summary":"Eric Pachman is a chemical engineer-turned-data storyteller who exposed hundreds of millions in drug pricing overcharges through his nonprofit 46 Brooklyn Research, and now uses data visualization to reveal hidden truths about jobs, healthcare, and inequality as founder of Data for the People.

"Imagine if the stock price was $1,000 and the commission was $333." 14:03 – His mother's death from pancreatic cancer. Her mental anguish — the inability to fill an internal void with things and experiences — became "the greatest teaching I've ever had in my life." 22:00 – Harvard Business School as a crucible: the introverted engineer forced to speak without certainty, eventually becoming a speaker at thousand-person maritime conferences. 28:00 – The jobs data reality: outside healthcare, the U.S. economy has been losing jobs.
