This episode is dedicated to the loving memory of Dr. Lorna Breen.  Lorna is my hero and will be dearly missed. I will never forget her encouragement, energy and enthusiasm for our shared communities. For our first episode, we will listen to Dr. Shady Henien's story about starting his second startup, Physician Promise.  Dr. Henien is an Interventional Cardiology Fellow at Brown University and Class of 2020 Executive MBA candidate at Cornell SC Johnson.
