OVERVIEW
What happens when your federal mission no longer matches your personal values? In this episode, host Brandon Cory sits down with Zach Withers, a former federal employee who transitioned from the digital service at CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) to rebuild his own private law and consulting practice, Z.A. Withers, LLC.
Zach shares his unique career path from Capitol Hill intern to healthcare IT consultant, civil rights litigator, and fed. He dives deep into the practical logistics of setting up a business—demystifying legal entities, insurance policies, and client management—while offering critical encouragement to federal employees looking to make their next career move.
