Today’s guest is Brian Hall, the president of Physicians Resources Limited, a revenue cycle management firm based in Merrimack, New
Hampshire. Brian was employee number one of PRL more than thirty years ago, and
on his way to being the president and eventually the owner of PRL, he did everything
from sweeping the floors to business development. In this podcast we talk about
Brian’s career, and what it’s like to be an entrepreneur working in a family
business.
