How do you go from medieval literature to pioneering tech innovation in one career? In this episode of The One Away Show, Eric Vest shares his unconventional journey—from studying Chaucer in college to becoming a leader at the forefront of healthcare technology and data transformation.

Eric and Bryan explore what happens when you follow what you love, how curiosity drives career pivots, and why slow-to-adopt industries like pharma are ripe for disruption. Eric reflects on years spent trying to modernize outdated systems and sheds light on the type of mindset it takes to spark change—especially when the world around you resists it.

Whether you’re a technologist, founder, or someone still figuring out how to align what you love with what you do, this conversation will inspire you to think differently about purpose, leadership, and the paths that lead us there.

Tune in to hear how Eric’s eclectic experiences shaped a purpose-driven career—and why he believes the best journeys never follow a straight line.
