Medvale – May 7, 2025
When Medvalista Saul Marquez joined Dave Self on Megaphone, he brought more than just his perspective as founder and CEO of Outcomes Rocket. He offered a thoughtful take on how meaningful connection, strategic clarity, and responsible innovation can shape the future of healthcare.
In the episode, Saul reflects on a childhood visit to the hospital that sparked his fascination with the care experience—and how that early moment planted a seed. Years later, through roles in medical device sales and marketing, he found himself drawn not just to the work, but to the people shaping it. That led him to launch Outcomes Rocket, a podcast-turned-agency that now partners with healthcare leaders across the country.
Innovation, Acceleration, Growth, and Super Connection
These aren’t just buzzwords—they’re the pillars that guide Saul’s work. In the episode, he explains how his team built their brand house by listening closely to clients, identifying what truly set them apart, and then using those insights to sharpen both messaging and strategy.
A central theme of the conversation is the role of AI—particularly agentic AI, which doesn’t just generate responses, but takes action. Saul urges leaders to be intentional: not to chase the next shiny tool, but to define their strategic objectives first, and only then choose the right technologies to support them.
“Tactics are the noise you hear before the war is lost. Step back. Be intentional.”
A Lesson from the Mayor of Medvale
Saul also shares a defining moment early in his relationship with Jim Trounson, the Mayor of Medvale. After a brief phone call, Jim chose to reroute his travels and meet Saul in person—an act that deeply impacted him.
“When Jim did that, he taught me the power of showing up.”
It’s a value Saul now weaves into everything from his client work to his annual conferences. Because in a world of digital noise and automation, being present still makes a difference.
“You can do something in a one-hour dinner that no six-month digital campaign can achieve.”
