In this episode, Emma sits down with Ben Paglia, founder of Akea Life, the UK’s largest on-call private GP service, and co-founder of Alphagenix, a hormone therapy business transforming men’s health.
Ben shares how he turned his personal frustration with the healthcare system into a pioneering business – one that’s redefining private GP access across the UK.
From raising investment and managing regulatory challenges, to surviving a pandemic that changed everything, Ben’s story is a masterclass in resilience, adaptability, and focus.
