Great information and Dr. Scheinbart is a skilled interviewer. Love the variety of pertinent topics. Always stimulates thought and ideas. I never miss this podcast.
Very useful. Both new information and information worth revisiting.
As a new CMO, I am so thrilled to have found this wonderful podcast. The episodes have excellent information with examples, and share philosophy on "how one thinks" as a CMO. The content can help to guide and validate thought and action on the many unique scenarios that one experiences as a physician leader. Thank you!!!
