Big thanks to @fishmanaf for inviting me to join him on the Startup Dad podcast. This conversation was deeply personal and a good forcing function to organize my thoughts on topics that are important to me. I hope you enjoy our conversation in which we covered: - The decision to leave my tech career - Navigating the difficult and painful diagnostic journey - The importance of being an advocate > an expert - Fatherhood, family, and marriage frameworks that work for me - Launching Shark Tooth Biotech - What is wrong with the common advice to "pursue your passion" - Why we should be less obsessed with our legacy - Turning life's obstacles into personal growth - And a few more hot takes and one embarrassing story :) I’m incredibly grateful to Adam for providing his platform to share my journey, and to Haesun Brooks for the thoughtful introduction that made this possible. Attached is a brief excerpt from our conversation. For the full episode, you can listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/71w…
