I don’t know if I’ve ever met someone so fun, enthusiastic, and optimistic about health, thinking, and the future of humanity than today’s guest, Naveen Jain. I’ve met some people who think outside of the box, but this guy doesn’t even have a box.

‍

Naveen is known for evangelizing huge (and even seemingly impossible) ideas – AKA Moonshots – and, today, we explore the future of healthcare and the health and wellness industry. 

‍

Because the fact of the matter is that our current healthcare system, as an institution, is broken: everyone in the system profits off of the sick and no one makes money when people are healthy. And, like so many other industries, the healthcare industry is looking to optimize monetization even further by leveraging the subscription model to “treat” the increasing number of people suffering from chronic disease.

‍

What other industry is fundamentally incentivized to not keep the customer happy? It’s mind-boggling. So what will it take to catalyze positive change? And what does a world with abundant healthcare look like?

‍

If it feels like we’re talking about the impossible, that’s only because you’re used to seeing the world as it is – and, today, I invite you to join us in seeing the world as it can be.
