New episode of Health Explorers w/Renee Ryan, former CEO of Cala Health. On the latest episode of Health Explorers, I speak with Renee Ryan, the former CEO of bioelectronic medicine pioneer Cala Health.  Renee brings a unique perspective, having spent time as a start-up CEO and a healthcare investor.  Before running Cala Health, she was an investment banker at  Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, Jefferies & Co, and Robert Baird.   Renee then joined J&J's ventures team where she invested in over 15 companies.  While at J&J she played a central role in incubating several start-ups and joint ventures including Verb Surgical in partnership with Verily. In this episode, we discuss Renee's experience on both sides of the investor-operator relationship.  What she thinks each doesn't fully grasp about the other, the key trait she looks for in leadership hires, and the advice she provides to early-stage founders.

Dr. Dan Azagury - Director of Stanford BioDesign Fellowship Program

On the latest episode of Health Explorers, Jay Shah and I speak with Dr. Dan Azagury, Director of the Stanford Biodesign Innovation Fellowship Program, a 10-month experience that equips aspiring innovators with a proven, repeatable process to identify important health-related needs, invent novel health technologies to address them and prepare to implement those products into patient care. Since its inception in 2001 over 50 companies have been founded out of the program including Shockwave Medical, iRythym, Viz.ai [http://Viz.ai], and Cala Health. Dan grew up and started his medical career in Europe, but migrated to the United States, eventually landing in Silicon Valley, where he became a BioDesign Fellow himself. His time in the program eventually led to his co-founding of Ciel Medical. In addition to his faculty role, Dan is also the Section Chief of Minimally Invasive and Bariatric Surgery at Stanford. In this episode, we discuss what attracted Dan to Silicon Valley, the roller coaster ride of entrepreneurship, and how to teach people the process of healthcare innovation.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
