Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: Going From 7 Years to 12 Weeks: How One Father’s Fight Against Rare Disease Built an AI-Powered Healthcare Company

[1:23] – Joshua shares something he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.

Success is not random luck or chance.
Achievement comes from a repeatable system and disciplined execution.
Hard work, persistence, and process create consistent results.
Success can be manufactured when people commit to the grind.

[3:10] – Joshua shares the personal story behind Sunstone Health.

Joshua’s son, Shiloh, experienced recurring unexplained fevers beginning in infancy.
Multiple doctor visits and emergency room trips failed to provide answers.
The family spent years searching for a diagnosis despite access to world-class medical institutions.
A rare disease diagnosis finally arrived, but treatment options were limited.
Frustration with the healthcare system became the catalyst for building Sunstone Health.
The experience revealed how isolating and overwhelming rare disease journeys can be for families.

[8:49] – Joshua talks about how Sunstone uses AI and health data to reduce diagnosis times from years to weeks.

The average diagnostic journey can take seven years.
Patients often experience delays due to specialist wait times and fragmented care.
Sunstone analyzes medical and insurance data to identify suspicious health patterns.
AI helps flag patients who may need additional evaluation.
The company accelerates access to specialists, testing, and care pathways.
Families receive answers in approximately twelve weeks instead of several years.

The approach creates value for employers, families, and healthcare systems.

Mission provides the fuel needed to overcome difficult periods.
Entrepreneurship requires resilience and persistence.
Purpose helps founders navigate uncertainty and setbacks.
A meaningful mission attracts talented people who want to make a difference.
Shared purpose has become one of Sunstone’s strongest recruiting advantages.

[17:55] – Joshua talks about what’s next for Sunstone Health over the next several years.

The company currently focuses on autism spectrum disorder and developmental delays.
One in thirty-one children in America is diagnosed with autism.
One in six children experiences developmental delays.
Sunstone plans to expand into broader genetic disease populations.
Future partnerships include specialty medicine, pharmaceutical, and gene therapy organizations.
The long-term vision is proactive healthcare intervention before diagnosis delays occur.
