This week on The TRU Leader Podcast, Greg Bennick joins us as he talks about his book, "Reclaim the Moment: 7 Strategies to Build a Better Now," which offers practical advice for achieving clarity and focus in a world filled with distractions. Greg emphasizes the importance of self-centering and understanding one's actions to prevent burnout and maintain meaningful connections. One key strategy involves fostering positive beliefs about others’ intentions, which can help combat pessimism and alleviate feelings of being overwhelmed. Using a juggling metaphor, Bennick illustrates the necessity of concentrating on critical tasks while managing distractions, and highlights how incorporating laughter can make work more enjoyable. Greg also advocates for intentionality in relationships, encouraging a shift from transactional to transformational interactions where kindness and support lead to mutual growth. This approach enhances both professional and personal relationships by showing how small acts of kindness can transform everyday experiences. Bennick underscores the significance of humor and creativity in teamwork, sharing an exercise that promotes laughter and collaboration through brainstorming fantastical ideas. Through personal anecdotes, he demonstrates how humor can build confidence and connections, even in the face of mistakes.

In this episode of Faces of Digital Health, Michael, an experienced innovator with over 80 patents and a professor in multiple countries, joins to discuss the future of digital health. The conversation dives deep into the concepts of innovation, patent strategies, and the challenges in digital health funding. Michael shares his insights on current investment trends, the future of healthcare, and the potential of technologies like AI and digital tools to redefine medicine. Website: https://www.facesofdigitalhealth.com/ Newsletter: https://fodh.substack.com/ Key Points: The Role of Patents in Innovation: Michael holds 80 patents, but only a few have translated into successful innovations. Patents serve as a starting point for innovation, not necessarily as a direct path to commercialization. Challenges in Patent Development: The difficulty in checking if something has already been patented due to the 18-month confidentiality period. Patenting as a strategy to establish a foundation for future projects and startups. Current State of Digital Health Funding: 2024 has seen significant investment, especially in the U.S. market, but COVID-19 still skews comparisons. Michael believes digital health should go beyond improving administrative workflows and focus on new forms of medicine, such as combining AI, sensors, and IoT. Investment Challenges and New Approaches: There is no current business model for preventive healthcare, but it’s essential for long-term health impact. Michael advocates for shifting from analog to digital processes and creating personalized, predictive healthcare. 5P Future of Health Investment Fund: Michael has started an investment fund called "5P Future of Health," focusing on long-term impact rather than immediate profits. Emphasis on personalized, participative healthcare, and developing tools that address health issues before they become critical. Vision for the Future of Healthcare: Transition healthcare from hospitals to home-based systems, using affordable and accessible diagnostic tools. The need for democratizing healthcare and creating business models that are inclusive, not just profit-driven.
