Overcoming Adversity, Building a Company, and Launching Workshop Strategy

We’re excited to share that our founder and CEO, Sam Maddula, was recently featured on an episode of Founders Forum Podcast—a show spotlighting entrepreneurs who’ve transformed personal adversity into business impact.

In the episode titled “Beyond the Darkness: Sam Maddula’s Journey from Blindness to  Success,” Sam takes listeners through a deeply personal and inspiring conversation that traces his path from challenging beginnings to leading one of the most impactful healthcare companies in the behavioral health space.

From Health Challenges to a Mission-Driven Company

Sam opens up about overcoming serious health struggles early in life—experiences that shaped his worldview and his resolve. As a trained pharmacist, he combined clinical knowledge to launch a Pharmacy that focused on mental health and substance use disorder treatment.

His leadership and vision led to the creation of a culture-first company that grew rapidly, made a meaningful impact, and ultimately achieved a multimillion-dollar valuation before being acquired by private equity.

Launching Workshop Strategy: Turning Experience Into Strategy

Following that success, Sam founded Workshop Strategy to help other healthcare entrepreneurs and leaders scale their companies with the same intention and impact.

“There’s a difference between scaling fast and scaling right,” Sam says in the interview.

“Workshop Strategy exists to make sure companies do both—without losing their soul along the way.”

Today, Workshop Strategy works with operators and investors across the healthcare ecosystem, offering high-touch strategic support informed by real-world founder experience.
