“I think turning fear into growth and frustration into opportunity serve you well in entrepreneurship and in life,” says Shiv Gaglani, MD, the founding partner of Ganglia Ventures, who racked up major wins in both realms before he turned forty. Reframing his emotions is just one enlightened element in the formula that has led to Shiv’s remarkable record of accomplishment that includes earning undergraduate degrees in engineering and health policy, as well as an MBA, from Harvard; shepherding the popular and influential Osmosis medical education platform from a start-up to a successful exit; and earning a medical degree from Johns Hopkins University. Throw in Forbes contributor, Tedx speaker, author, triathlete, and you are starting to get the picture. On this very special episode of Filling You In with A-Squared, hosts Dr. Anushka Gaglani and Dr. Abhishek Nagaraj of Areo Dental Group -- who happen to be Shiv’s sister and brother-in-law -- explore the insights he gained throughout his journey and learn about his approach to personal and professional fulfillment.

Highlights include:

• How Osmosis applied insights from social media and streaming platforms to improve medical education.
• The importance of having deep empathy with your customers.
• His current areas of investment interest, from K-12 education to proactive healthcare.
