Show Notes:

“Sick care” system: What we have isn’t a health-care system, but a “sick care” system.

Handling reactively: For many years, health, aging, and longevity have been handled reactively, not proactively.

Ownership of health: People are more willing than they used to be to take ownership over their own health.

Sense of health: COVID has changed people’s sense of their own physical health.

Don’t change until: Industries don’t change until customers change.

In control vs. in charge: Being in control is about management, and being in charge is about leadership.

Being a doctor: There is a status connected to being a doctor, not necessarily to what one does as a doctor.

Fork in the road: Every individual faces a fork in the road where they must choose between future status and security or innovation and excitement.
