Judy Faulkner on Building Epic, Staying Private, and the Future of Healthcare
April 24, 2026
Epic’s founder and CEO sits down with the host of Freakonomics Radio to discuss nearly 50 years of building Epic—and what comes next.
Judy joins Stephen Dubner, co-author of Freakonomics and host of Freakonomics Radio, for a wide-ranging conversation about Epic’s origins, its growth, and its role in healthcare today. She traces her path from a summer programming job to founding Epic, and discusses the company’s decisions to stay private, build rather than acquire, and reinvest in R&D over nearly 50 years.
The conversation also features Epic’s Seth Howard and covers AI in patient care, the story behind Care Everywhere, Epic’s succession plan, and the Roots and Wings Foundation.
