In this episode, we’re taking you behind the scenes of how Unum Co. came to be.
Megan shares how navigating her own health journey led to peer support, advocacy work, and a career in health care communications. Farah reflects on 15 years in pharma, the push to listen to real patient experiences, and the moment she stumbled upon a small but growing online community called The Gut Gazette.
From patient storytelling to corporate decision-making, blogging to brand building, and from two separate careers to a shared mission, this is the origin story of Unum Co. It is also the beginning of Collected, a podcast created to share stories that move health care forward.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
- The power of patient stories to spark change
- Why digital communities have reshaped health care conversations
- How two different career paths merged into one mission
- What you can expect from future episodes of Collected
This is where storytelling meets impact, and where our journey with you begins.
Collected by Unum Co. is a podcast about the power of lived experience, and how stories can shape more human-centred systems, services, and spaces.
Created by Unum Co., a patient-experience consultancy and creative studio helping health care organizations connect with people through storytelling, strategy, and digital engagement.
