In this podcast, part of the Tech Disruption Masterclass series by Coventure in partnership with Colorado Mountain College's Isaacson School, host Mark Millhone interviews Bill Phillips, former Editor-in-Chief of Men’s Health and currently the Chief Strategy and Performance Officer for Linkwell Health.

Bill shares insights from his career navigating technological shifts in media, particularly the challenging transition from print to digital formats. He emphasizes the impact of platforms like Facebook on traditional media by centralizing content distribution, which ultimately diluted the independence of many media brands.

Bill also reflects on his current role in healthcare, using service journalism to help audiences make healthier choices. He encourages students to remain curious, embrace emerging technology, and understand their audiences’ journeys. His key message is that successful content creation lies in blending personal passion with empathy and leveraging technology wisely. Finally, he advises upcoming media professionals to approach career-building creatively and authentically, always putting the audience’s needs first.
