  • 💡 Interview with Dr. Leah Houston M.D- Part 1 🎙️
    Jan 14 2026

    This week on Be Empowered, we sit down with Dr. Leah Houston, board-certified emergency physician and founder of Evercred (https://www.evercred.com/), a platform transforming how healthcare professionals manage their credentials and identity.

    After more than a decade in emergency medicine—from Level 1 trauma centers to rural hospitals—Dr. Houston saw firsthand how broken credentialing systems slow hiring, limit access to care, and drain billions from the system. Her own shocking experience with medical identity theft became the catalyst for change.

    In Part 1, we discuss:
    ⚕️ The credentialing crisis and its impact on patient care
    🚨 How inefficiency fuels burnout and system-wide waste
    🧩 The moment that pushed Dr. Houston to build a solution

    Her story is a powerful reminder that innovation often begins with personal frustration—and a vision for something better.
