Episode 67 David Michel, Catapult Health
David Michel is Chief Executive Officer of Catapult Health, a Dallas-based innovator in virtual at-home preventive care recently acquired by Teledoc Health for $65 million. Each stop in David’s story is spellbinding. David begins with his upbringing in southern Illinois, where his entrepreneur/radio broadcaster father played a large role in his upbringing. He then charts his own entrepreneurial path culminating in the founding of Catapult Health in 2010. Discussion returns to the March 2025 sale to Teledoc, a signature event transformed by the sudden death of David’s lawyer and close friend in January. This tragedy connected David to Andy. A fast-moving episode that continues the suspiciously long, and admittedly awkward, armistice between Andy and Charlie.
