John runs a course called 'Think Like a Doctor to Make Executive Decisions' — and I ask about different frameworks executives can pick up from doctors and use in non-healthcare settings (such as bayesian reasoning and assessing what is a symptom vs a cause).
John’s also a veteran of the health communication space, and we discuss where the future of health content is going, and the art of storytelling.
