The Health Technology Podcast

One of the subjects we keep coming back to here on the Health Technology Podcast is healthcare inequities. COVID-19 revealed a lot of very stark racial inequities in our systems. And a lot of our podcast guests are out there doing the incredibly difficult work of addressing these disparities. Our podcast guest Marcus Whitney is one of them. Marcus created Jumpstart Nova in 2020 to fund historically underfunded Black startups. He was also a founding partner of Jumpstart Health Investors, CEO of Health Further conference, and co-founder of Trilliant Health. All that, and the best-selling author of “Create and Orchestrate”. In this episode, we discuss how to navigate the industry, and what lessons you can take from his amazing career. Do you have any thoughts?
