Born to parents with fifth- and third-grade educations, this Lafayette man is now head of a growing telehealth business

By ADAM DAIGLE l Acadiana Business Editor​ ​ ​

Good morning and welcome back to another edition of Acadiana Business Today. Happy Friday. Let's get cracking with the headlines. 

Inside Charles Edwards’ office in downtown Lafayette is a six-by-eight-foot space he calls his dream room. The walls are covered in white board. He goes in there for an hour in there each to simply “dream things,” he said. He writes the ideas on the walls. On the top of one of them is the words “No fear allowed.”'

Edwards, speaking in this week's edition of Talking Business, talked about getting established in the mental health industry and founding his business, One Telemed, a small telehealth company that offers mental health services to underserved communities.

Have a great day and see you Monday.
