The Essence of NOWINCLUDED's Impact
With a mission rooted in bridging systemic health gaps, Tiffany Whitlow’s podcast stands out by being as unfiltered as the name suggests.

What Whitlow and her team have managed is no small feat — creating a connection with communities who have long been underserved in healthcare, all through the art of storytelling.
"Producing a show that tackles such sensitive and vital healthcare topics requires balancing deep empathy with bold creative risk," said Lauren Clements, the Head of Product & Marketing at Acclinate.

These judges look beyond numbers, focusing instead on impactful, courageous storytelling that influences what's created next in the industry. And hey, isn’t that what it's all about? Finding those unheard gems that redefine how we take in information and tell our own stories.
