Public Health Entrepreneurs

Overview

Ever noticed a critical gap in a public health program or community but felt powerless to solve it from inside your job role? In this episode of Public Health Entrepreneurs, host Dr. Charlotte Huntley, PhD, MPH shares how experienced public health professionals can break free from workplace constraints and build businesses that address population health needs. Drawing from her 25 years of experience across healthcare, public health, and entrepreneurship, Dr. Huntley provides a practical roadmap to turn your domain expertise into a viable consulting offer without waiting for institutional permission or grant funding.





Takeaways

  • Stop Waiting for Permission: You do not need to wait for funding, promotions, or employer approval to begin driving meaningful population-level health outcomes.

  • Name Your Specific Gap: Focus on the unmet needs you observe repeatedly by defining who is affected, why the issue persists, and where existing programs fall short.

  • Target Organizations with Existing Budgets: Identify state agencies, nonprofits, or healthcare organizations that already have budget allocated for the problem but lack the internal capability, team, or infrastructure to execute.

  • Launch with One Small Offer: Avoid overcomplicating your service launch; begin with a single, clear solution that addresses even one specific piece of the gap.

  • Position Solutions for Client Acquisition: Approaching targeted organizations with a focused problem-solving offer puts you directly on the path to securing your first or next client.

  • Deeper Strategies in Print: Learn more about building a sustainable venture in Dr. Huntley's upcoming book, The Public Health Consultant: Expertise, Entrepreneurship, Greater Impact (Johns Hopkins University Press).
