Rie to the Rescue: Bringing Data and a Better Life to People with Autoimmune Diseases
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Bill sits down with Stephen Golubieski, Founder and CEO of Olu Health, a Charleston-area wellness startup redefining daily support for autoimmune conditions. With more than 30 years in product design and health tech—including leadership roles at WebMD, Unite Us, and Koneksa Health—Stephen launched Olu after witnessing his wife, Lola Marie, face years of unpredictable Hashimoto’s symptoms with scant guidance between doctor visits.
Enter Rie: an AI-powered companion that helps users gently track symptoms, sleep, stress, and habits to uncover hidden patterns over time. Those insights deliver clearer self-understanding and simple, shareable reports that transform rushed medical appointments into truly informed, collaborative discussions.
Stephen opens up about turning personal hardship into purposeful innovation, the realities of building in health tech, and Olu’s heartfelt mission: to help people with autoimmune conditions be alive, not just living—and to bend without breaking. A compelling listen for anyone drawn to founder-driven solutions, digital health breakthroughs, and authentic Lowcountry grit.
