Ep 52: HIPAA Podcast One Year Anniversary Interview


We really appreciate the support and feedback we have received for our little HIPAA podcast project known as Help Me With HIPAA.  This episode marks one complete year of weekly HIPAA podcasts (counting the special bloopers holiday episode).  We certainly learned a great deal since we started this little DIY project last year.  Granted, David was a convert to the idea much quicker than Donna.  

Here we are one year later and our little HIPAA podcast is starting to gain some real momentum.  That is all thanks to you, our listeners, for sticking with us through our growing pains as we fumbled through figuring it all out.  Keep on sending in your questions and suggestions, we appreciate your help and support!

Also, a special shout out to the silent member of our team Bojan Sabioncello for making us sound so much better once he came on board!  

After saying all of that, what are we doing for this special episode?  We are interviewing each other to discuss how we ended up together and what we do in our "real jobs".  this HIPAA podcast is a huge part of what we do but it isn't the only thing you get from us.
