Healthcare in 5 years will look nothing like healthcare today.
Between an aging population and broken balance sheets, the status quo is unsustainable. But where others see a collapse, builders see a blank slate.
On the latest episode of The Further, Faster Podcast, former Headspace CEO @glassruss talks about where AI is actually headed in healthtech—from predicting organ failure hours in advance to why the next decade will be a golden age for founders.

"This is the biggest sleeping problem in healthcare.”
When Russell Glass looked at the data back in 2018, one stat stood out: treating a patient with a diagnosable mental health condition costs the system 2.5x more overall. On this week’s episode of The Further, Faster Podcast, the former Headspace CEO joins Bob Rosin to share his journey from starting his first company at 13 to scaling through the pandemic and investing in the next wave of healthtech. From mental health economics to AI world models predicting ICU organ failure hours ahead of standard hardware, this conversation covers where medicine is actually headed.

Being less experienced is a superpower during times of technological upheaval. @AntlerGlobal Founder and CEO @MagnusGrimeland on the accelerating speed to success:
"It took the airline industry 68 years to get 50 million customers. It took Twitter about a year to hit that. It took Pokémon GO about 14 days. It took the breakthrough ChatGPT models like two days, right?"
"The speed, if you have product-market fit, the speed to grow... the speed to scale has completely changed."
"Founders with the right ambition who get product-market fit quickly, they much, much more quickly get to their targets."
"In big platform shifts is that founders tend to be a bit younger. Like, you look at the early days of the mobile platform shift, the early days of the internet platform shift, the e-commerce platform shift... the best founders in the world were pretty young, right? Like, think Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and so on..."
"Over time, the problems that remain to be solved are more complex, and then experience matters more."
"Right now, there's this like blank canvas where kind of young people can come in and build really great... being a little bit naive and not having work experience might actually be an advantage versus having 10, 20 years of experience."

What makes a founder worth betting on before the numbers speak?
At Antler India, we look for six traits in founders: Audacity, Grit, Obsession, Agency, Thinking Clarity and an X-factor. We call it AGOATX.
Priyanshu Jain was one of the rare founders we met who stood out across all six.
Alongside Arjun and Tarithmay, he’s building BazaarNow, a new retail channel for millions of consumers in smaller Indian cities underserved by modern retail.
This is Episode 1 of Backing Obsessed Outliers Before It’s Obvious.
This is the story of Priyanshu Jain.

There is no universal formula for building a game-changing company.
As @thesamparr shares on this week’s episode of The Further, Faster Podcast, “there’s an infinite number of ways to get to the end destination... those Silicon Valley rules could work, but I can show you dozens of examples of people who ignored and broke all those rules and ended up in awesome places”.

Whether you are bootstrapping or raising capital, this episode is a powerful reminder that defining your own playbook is often the ultimate competitive advantage. Listen to the full conversation now.

As @Andrea_Aspire , Co-Founder & CEO of @aspireappglobal says on this week’s episode of The Further, Faster Podcast, "the fact that you have the opportunity to build something from scratch gives you a great advantage, which is a small, nimble organization and team that allows you to grow fast.

"You've got to trust your gut."
When you're scaling a company, everyone has an opinion on how you should run it. But generic advice rarely accounts for deep, day-to-day context. As Matt Wilson, Co-Founder & CEO of Jack and Jill, shared on The Further, Faster Podcast: "One of the lessons I've learned the hard way is you've got to trust your gut on things. I think it's so easy to be talked out of decisions that you know are right deep down... Build the business in the way that you want to build it.” Listen to the full conversation now.
