229: Building a Mental Health Franchise: David Brunick’s Growth Story

In this episode of the AmiSights Podcast, we are joined by Fran Miller, Senior Director of Business Financing at MultiFunding, and Dr. David Brunick, Founder and CEO of Ellie Mental Health.

“I wanted to build a culture where therapists could thrive and feel very supported, and hire therapists that want to be in community with other therapists and have that kind of support and safety net behind them as they practice.”

The three main points of this episode are how Dr. David Brunick built a mission-driven business focused on expanding access to quality mental health care, how strategic SBA financing through MultiFunding helped accelerate the growth of Ellie Mental Health, and the leadership lessons he learned about scaling a business, building exceptional teams, managing financial challenges, and balancing purpose with profitability.
