Built to Last: Judy Faulkner Discusses Nearly 50 Years of Epic with Katie Couric
May 4, 2026
Epic’s founder and CEO talks with the veteran journalist about the choices that have shaped the company since 1979.
From the start, Epic has built one consistent system rather than acquired others—one of the founding commandments printed on the walls of its campus. Judy walks through the reasoning behind that commandment with Katie Couric in a new episode of Next Question with Katie Couric, recorded in front of a live audience in Verona, Wisconsin.
The conversation traces nearly 50 years of Epic history, from the decision to stay private, to the moment Judy sketched out the original code for Chronicles, to the development of MyChart.
Katie and Judy also discuss the early days of computing, the design philosophy behind Epic’s campus, and the work of the Roots and Wings Foundation.
