Joining John this week is Dr. Nadine Hachach-Haram, a surgeon, lecturer and clinical entrepreneur. Nadine is the co-founder of Proximie, a health technology business that uses augmented reality to allow the world’s top surgeons to virtually transport themselves into any operating room.  Nadine explains why CNN dubbed Proximie the "future of surgery”,  the future of Augmented Reality (AR) and medicine, and how it felt to be named to Worth Magazine's list of  the 50 Women Changing the World along with Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Melinda Gates.

Not every medical entrepreneur builds the same thing; some build apps, some build groundbreaking devices, some build alternative care methods. This week’s guest built a floating hospital in the Congo. Her name is Dr. Amy Lehman and she’s the Founder of the Lake Tanganyika Floating Health Clinic, a revolutionary health clinic that is saving lives in Africa. Amy talks about how she transitioned from practicing medicine in Chicago to building a clinic in the Congo and what she's doing to change the lives of people in eastern Africa.

Medicine is hard, but there probably isn’t anything harder to solve in medicine than the obesity epidemic. The CDC considers 42% of Americans obese. That fact didn’t scare off John's guest this week. His name is Shantanu Gaur, the co-founder of Allurion Technologies, a leader in the development of innovative, scalable and weight loss solutions. Shantanu describes his journey from Harvard medical school to starting Allurion and how they built the Elipse Balloon, the world’s first and only procedureless gastric balloon for weight loss.

John's first guest is physician turned entrepreneur, Dr. Dana Corriel. Dana is a board-certified internist and founder of SoMeDocs, a platform that connects physicians across the globe, providing networking opportunities to help form successful online brands.  Dana discusses why she became disillusioned with healthcare, how she utilizes Twitter and LinkedIn to connect with doctors and what inspired her to found SoMeDocs.
