Episode #46 Why Emmy Winner Tim Jones Believes Storytelling Can Fix Broken Healthcare

In this episode of The Queen of Automation, the conversation takes a refreshing turn from the usual tech talk to explore how storytelling and systems thinking can make a real-world impact, especially in healthcare. Host Meghan introduces Tim Jones, an Emmy Award-winning creative whose journey from Ohio to Hollywood and eventually into healthcare animation is anything but ordinary. Tim started out in feature animation at Warner Brothers before diving into digital media and storytelling for the web, where he earned an Emmy for animated shorts for ESPN’s Mike and Mike in the Morning.

The heart of the episode focuses on Tim’s shift into healthcare, where his work uses animation to help children and veterans better understand complex medical journeys. His company, Health Nuts Media, translates overwhelming health data into emotionally resonant stories, making difficult topics like chemotherapy and hospice care more approachable. Tim shares how animation can break cultural barriers, reduce fear, and create empathy, not just for patients but also for overworked healthcare staff who need better communication tools. Throughout, Meghan and Tim reflect on how systems aren't just tech, they're the intentional frameworks we build through mindset, storytelling, and emotional connection.
