I drove out to Plano on a 100-degree August morning to record a bonus podcast episode live on site, and the location is half the story: Matic's (@maticinside) team works out of a suite inside Catalyst Health Group's (@CatalystHG) headquarters. That's not a real estate footnote. That's the business model. I sat down with Calvin Carter, the CEO of Matic, and Dr. Chris Crow, who runs Catalyst. Carter spent 15 years at Bottle Rocket building consumer apps for Chick-fil-A, Southwest, and half the news networks in America before an algorithmic trading side project put him next to Dr. Alex Shepherd, an engineer with a PhD in adversarial training for hallucinations who decided to go to medical school because "finance is a zero-sum game." We got into why Crow thinks every lab-built AI product is just the EMR story repeating, why he called direct primary care a cottage industry born of burnout rather than a model worth scaling, and what happens to a physician's panel when you stop making them the bottleneck. Crow also went on record with "Natty or bust" for Texas, so hold him to it. Click to watch the video.
