Finding Meaning in the Mess: Gez Medinger's Story

In this special conversation, we turn the tables on Gez Medinger, usually the one behind the camera asking the questions.

With 94 videos and counting exploring the science and lived experience of Long Covid, Gez has spoken with more specialists, researchers, and patients than almost anyone else. But this time, it's his turn to share his own story.

Gez opens up about his journey before illness, from studying engineering, economics, and management at university to his early career at IBM that left him questioning purpose and meaning. That moment of realization, that life couldn't just be about changing numbers on a corporate balance sheet, became a quiet foundation for how he later approached his recovery journey.

Following his Covid infection in March 2020, Gez began an ongoing mission to understand what was happening to his body and mind. Along the way, he has gathered an extraordinary depth of knowledge, perspective, and humility.

In this honest and reflective conversation, we explore who Gez was before all of this, what he has learned through years of investigation and dialogue, and how his experience continues to shape his understanding of what real healing looks like.

A rare and revealing glimpse into the man behind 94 and counting, and the story of one person's ongoing search for meaning, purpose, and recovery.
