The Chief Psycho Podcast

Welcome to The Chief Psycho Podcast with Jonathan Bonanno a.k.a. Chief Psycho, where we cut through the noise and get real about everyday humans charting to leave others better than they found them.

Each episode, I sit down with extraordinary leaders, disruptors, and truth-tellers who are shaping the future by sharing unfiltered stories about their wins, struggles, and what it really takes to drive change.

No fluff. No scripts. Just candid conversations that dive deep into the messy, powerful, and often overlooked experiences behind innovation.

If you want to understand the heart behind healthcare transformation and maybe get a little uncomfortable along the way - you're in the right place!
