After realizing which problems you're passionate about solving, how do you determine which paths to take to solve them? While in medical school, Sherman is also investing in early stage healthcare ventures at AlleyCorp. We chat about:

• Realizations that led him to find this unique balance, and moments that affirmed his decisions
• How he adjusted to the differences between working as a product manager vs working as a medical student 
• Guiding principles and frameworks that help him say no to certain opportunities, and how thoughtful community building enables him to scale his impact even when he must say no to a founder  
• How his faith provides clarity and motivation for entrepreneurship
• What anyone can do starting today to build the skills and confidence necessary to join or create a community
• and much more!

About Sherman

I'm a reformed programmer, product manager, turned early-stage investor and medical student based in NYC. In addition to studying medicine, I invest in and incubate healthcare companies at AlleyCorp. I care deeply about leveraging technology to support underserved patient populations and increasing the efficiency/efficacy of healthcare delivery.
