"Second Opinion" with Christina Farr, Ash Zenooz MD & Luba Greenwood JD

If you’re obsessed with health-tech and life sciences, this is the podcast for you. Second Opinion doesn't hold back. Join Luba Greenwood, Christina Farr, and Ash Zenooz as they bring influential entrepreneurs, experts and investors into the ring for candid conversations at the frontlines of healthcare and digital health every week. Healthcare, health-tech and life sciences in particular, is hard to navigate even for the most seasoned professionals. Unpacking the latest technological, medical, and scientific advances, regulatory hurdles, global economic shifts, and industry and investment trends, requires a powerful combination of hosts like us. We aim to sift through the noise and help you navigate what’s really going on in healthcare and how to spot the next win. This season, we’re tackling meaty topics like biosecurity, the latest in telemedicine, why patient acquisition is so hard, and the pros and cons of VC versus private equity in funding startups in the healthtech space. Christina Farr is a former investigative journalist for CNBC — during her tenure as a reporter, she broke some big health-tech stories ranging from Amazon’s first moves into the sector to Apple’s secretive acquisitions. Now Christina is the author at Second Opinion, a newsletter with +20K subscribers. Joining Christina are co-hosts Luba Greenwood, JD — former CEO of Kojin Therapeutics and managing partner at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute — and Ash Zenooz, MD — former CEO of Commure and partner at Luxeda Holdings.  Second Opinion is is a part of the Turpentine podcast network.
