    Pat Sukhum: From Health Tech Pioneer to Mentorship Champion
    Jun 25 2025
    Who knew that picking up that Yellow pages at age 24 would lead to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America? In this episode #169 of #TheShot of #DigitalHealth Therapy, Jim Joyce & I spoke to Pat Sukhum who took us from attic-living startup grit to changing lives at scale - 2200 littles and counting. We talked Definity Health (sold to United), RedBrick Health (sold to Virgin), Thai food, and why the humble leader is the fiercest force for good. There’s wisdom, there’s vulnerability, there’s even an IRS - Harvard study drop. Pat proves you can be both a CEO and a sidekick, and still lead with heart. Just a few highlights: 🧒 Mentorship isn’t charity, it’s shared transformation. 🤝 Relationships power nonprofit scale and social change. 🧭 Belief plus humility = true leadership growth. 💙 Oh - and don’t forget to say hi to your inner shy kid.

  • Anne Fleischer: From Intelligent Bricks to Global Obesity Solutions at Novo Nordisk

    Anne Fleischer: From Intelligent Bricks to Global Obesity Solutions at Novo Nordisk
    Jun 18 2025
    ⚠️ Warning: Listening to this episode may cause spontaneous inspiration, side effects include rethinking innovation, falling in love with Denmark, and Googling “intelligent bricks.” Meet Anne C. Fleischer — engineer, innovator, former LEO Pharma exec, and now leading Consumer Engagement & New Business Models for Obesity at Novo Nordisk. She grew up in a village so small that your soccer team was whoever showed up to class that day. She wanted to be a helicopter pilot or a doctor, but got motion sickness and couldn’t get into med school...... So she built a new path- literally - constructing heart pump mannequins, NFC-enabled pavement tiles, and eventually digital health products that helped millions. 💥 This episode is a masterclass in doing things differently—with a sense of humor, a killer vision, and a very Danish ability to keep it real. PS. See the link below in comments for a new partnerships portal that the team at Novo announced today at HLTH Europe Fun mentions as always: Malin Johansson Anish Shindore Steve Seuntjens Erik de Heus SkinVision Chandana Fitzgerald Jonathan Weiner Rich Scarfo HLTH Inc.
