Kevin Dedner is the Founder & CEO of Hurdle, a startup dedicated to building a pipeline of mental health professionals who understand how to help people  with varied cultural backgrounds. On the Hurdle website are the thoughtful words: "Your culture will always be honored." Kevin's path to this work is fascinating. In this interview I describe him as a superhero who has fought some of the biggest enemies of our time including childhood obesity, HIV/AIDS, and tobacco control through the lens of public health policy. He's worked clients like the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, on political campaigns, and successfully led health policy wins. Having conversations with people like Kevin is incredibly energizing for me. I think you, too, will be inspired to hear about the growth of Hurdle and where the company's going in the future.
