What a delightful surprise to discover that Goldie Chan has included "I Am," the book Bruce Kasanoff and I wrote together, in her stellar lineup of admired authors and amazing humans! What's not surprising? That this excerpt, which describes our philosophy, is shared and demonstrated EVERY DAY by Goldie: "I'm selfish enough to need the people around me to do well, for if they suffer, the quality of my life will suffer, too." Thank you for the feature, and congrats to our fellow authors Allen Gannett , Simon Sinek , Michelle Obama, Brian Solis , Jay Baer , Randi Zuckerberg , Ann Handley , Adam Smiley Poswolsky , and Chris Jones of Harmon Brothers ! #mindset #leadership #bookreviews #readinglist …see more

10 things I hate about LinkedIn It's... A little clunky A little old school A little Facebooky Too much social selling Too much about content Too pitchy, not enough relationship wins Groups don't work Articles don't work Hashtags don't make sense I lose videos (seriously, where's the playlist?) Okay, I lied. I've been reflecting back, it's been about 2 years since I've been active on this platform. Who knew that being authentically you/yourself will be on-trend. I love the community and real connections I made here. Your vibes attract your volk-folks. The list above is the opposite of a hate list. It's an opportunity to leverage this platform. #stringtheory on #personalbranding #contentcreation#business #linkedin #linkedvideo …see more

Are we heroes of our own story? Yes, we are. It's not about bragging. It's not saying... hey look at my Ferarri. Your origin story is sharing the key milestones of what you experience. It's about how you became who you are today. If you're the protagonist. Then the antagonist is the hardships you've overcome. Whether it be looking for a job, or building rapport with your key investors or winning over clients. Telling your backstory aka your origin story will help build that trust factor. Add it to your personal brand kit. I look forward to hearing people's origin story. #stringtheory on #personalbranding #digitalmarketing #onlinepresence …see more

Create a great first draft. The hardest part of starting any project is the first draft. When I was offering Linkedin audits, I would be amazed at how many profiles weren't at least filled out. How am I suppose to tell you how to perfect a profile if I don't even have all the information? Last week, I helped out with a small event hosted by Jonathan Javier and Jerry Lee in San Jose for people trying to get a break into tech. When asked what they should go home and do, I told them to start on that draft. Is your Linkedin fully filled out? Why or why not? #personalbranding #techcareer …see more

So much to learn from this world class leader. To name a few: 1) be obsessed by customers rather than competitors 2) be grounded and focus on outcomes rather than being taken away by stock price, money, and reputation 3) sleep early and enough 4) prioritize your family - he still does dishes at their home and makes breakfast for his family (Wow to those ones)! …see more

I recently gave a closing keynote at an event organized by GSK in London. They brought their supply chain leaders together and I talked about how automation, digital health, and other advanced technologies will impact their work. The Pepper robot introduced me, which was strange enough, and then giving a talk after 9 pm is exactly what it sounds like. But I hope they had a great time as much as I did. https://lnkd.in/g_F34DG #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #fromchancetochoice #speaker #keynote #speakerlife …see more

One of the biggest promises of genomics is that one day a whole genome sequencing service would cost the same as a blood test and the information obtained there would make it possible to provide personalized prevention plans and treatments. But one of the biggest fears around this is how such information would affect one's job or health insurance. Even if I get my genome sequenced in a direct-to-consumer way, my identity can be traced back from my DNA information. So this is big news: Using a blockchain, Nebula Genomics has crafted a way for customers to get their genomes sequenced without revealing personally identifying data. #genomics #blockchain #digitalhealh …see more

In my keynote, Healthcare needs a trip to Mars I argue that we need to create a healthcare system that would even keep an astronaut on Mars alive. We need to use our digital health technologies to make patients the point of care, to let them access their own data, to involve augmented algorithms to help make decisions on the go. That’s the only way that we can bring healthcare into the 21st century. #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #fromchancetochoice #speaker #keynote #speakerlife …see more

I review a lot of #digitalhealth technologies and it's always exciting to see where healthcare technologies are going. Continuing this tradition, what sensor/device/technology shall I test next?

Canon Medical Imaging invited me to give the closing keynote at their event at RSNA in Chicago and I had an excellent time. Not just the audience was very open-minded but the overall theme of the event took my heart too. I talked about the oncology patient of the future and how digital health can make patients the point-of-care. #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #fromchancetochoice #speaker #keynote #speakerlife …see more

In this article I argue that pharma should embrace digital health technologies or small companies coming from a garage might beat them at speed, patient-centricity, and cost. What do you think? http://bit.ly/2Q0MA64 #pharma #digitalhealth #future #robotics #technology #business …see more

I accidentally ran a 10km this morning. I only went out for a run in this heat wave because my Excel spreadsheet showed that exercising for 40 minutes today and tomorrow would make my daily average for July exactly 30 minutes. It was my only motivation and then I stayed out for longer. I wrote about my "special" spreadsheet lifestyle experiment here: http://bit.ly/2Aou0kr Do you use a similar method? #fromchancetochoice #digitalhealth #wearables #datacanbemotivation #health …see more

I've deliberately not made any predictions for a while. I'm quite proud of my history with them. So please ask me any questions about where society/technology/business blend and I'll foolishly address the first 10 good ones in a piece. ....So......What's interesting ?

Congrats to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on what will soon be an impressive Superbowl win. While this would not have happened without the brilliance and discipline of Tom Brady – who cemented his GOAT legacy, not that he needed it – this necessary condition would not have also been sufficient without the all-in contribution of the whole team and organization. Hard luck to the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes who, undoubtedly, have a bright future. (I know this is bad … but … as a long-suffering Jets fan, I can’t help wondering how the Patriots organization and their fans feel right now.) #superbowl #buccaneers #chiefs #nfl #tombrady #patrickmahomes #teamwork …see more

As the new Covid variant dampens more short-term global economic prospects, policymakers need to pay even more attention to these three key developments -- this as the Main Street - Wall Street disconnect persists. https://lnkd.in/gMzFVUn #ft #economy #markets #inequality #growth Financial Times #covid19economy # #centralbanks #equities #financeandeconomy #covid__19 #covideconomy #covid #covid19 #fed #volatility #federalreserve #monetarypolicy #economics …see more

The Financial Times on today's Bank of England's policy decisions taken in the (correct) framing of the outlook as "unusual uncertain." Despite facing the added uncertainty of Brexit, the BoE appears a lot less hostage to what I think of as the "conscious active inertia" mode. Indeed, in responding since March to all the Covid-related challenges, the BoE has taken a notably measured and thoughtful approach. #economy #markets #centralbanks #boe #bankofengland …see more

While the impact of the US growth data will be reduced by what happens earlier in the week, it's important to note consensus expectations: +32% GDP Q3, leaving the overall level almost 4% below pre-Covid peak; and Consumption remaining the main driver (+39%), with investment +17%). #economy #economy #markets #markets #recession #economics #volatility #gdp #growth #investment #consumption …see more
