In this conversation, I explore the intersection of design, business, and personal fulfillment—especially through the lens of healthcare innovation. I believe the best solutions often come from deconstructing problems, not just reacting to them. That mindset has shaped how I approach both clinical challenges and startup opportunities.

One of the core messages I share is around life design: identifying what brings you joy, then being intentional about shaping your life and career around it. I talk about how physicians—despite being trained in rigid systems—have immense capacity to innovate. We just need more spaces that invite us to lead.

That’s why I introduced the idea of a physician incubator program—something designed to support doctors who are ready to step into advisory, founder, or innovation roles. Because when we bring our clinical expertise to the table, we don’t just improve systems—we redesign them entirely.
