In today's episode, I talk with Jessica and Andrew Roden, two amazing PAs who created an app called Blox to help new healthcare workers feel less stressed and more confident. They saw a big problem when they started working—new grads didn’t have the tools they needed to succeed—and they decided to fix it. We talk about how they built their app, what it's like to work in medicine today, and how anyone with a good idea can make a big change.

About our guest
Jessica Roden, PA-C, and Andrew Roden, PA-C, are the co-founders of Blox, a mobile app designed to help student and new graduate NPs and PAs feel less overwhelmed and more confident in fast-paced clinical settings.

Jessica’s experience in urgent care and emergency medicine revealed how isolating those first shifts can feel without the right tools or mentorship. Andrew's experience as a clinical preceptor reveals firsthand how often students struggle to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world medicine. Frustrated by the lack of streamlined, reliable resources, they launched Blox in early 2025 to build the tool they always needed: something fast, practical, and made for early-career providers.

Their mission is simple: support the next generation of clinicians with high-yield clinical guidance that reduces stress, improves decision-making, and builds confidence.
