that are driving the new reality of competition in healthcare and life sciences,
pointing out key differences in our perceptions of external/internal competition
in the world of sports versus pharma. Finally, the episode is centered on the
most memorable examples of athletes or teams and their performances or disappointments at the 2024 Paris Olympics to provide 5 critical business lessons for

transformative 2025 year ahead.
