Last week-end we did a thing and launched our new website❗️ The last few weeks have been a lot of grind-it-out kind of work, but it is SO worth it. Huge kudos to our Design, Content and Engineering team🚀 Check it out and tell us what you think 💬 lets-speek.com

Confrontation. Everybody likes to confuse emotional repression with maturity.

Leaving this here. We can’t simply do nothing about it. “…we have been raising children in an environment that is hostile to human development.” Mental health is down and fragility is up amongst the young. The parents aren’t alright either. Let’s speek!

There is so much truth in this one statement!

Talked to a health insurance exec at a brunch this AM. Asked him for some off the record thoughts on working with startups and what he really thought of pilots. He said “It’s so cute that they think we’re serious. We just do them so our staff doesn’t get bored.”

As a dear friend pointed out this morning, digital health has seen a lot of unicorns in the private market. Very few stayed unicorns once public. We need to focus on creating good companies that have staying power, not returning funds on VC timelines. – at Queens, NY

The team at @healthtechnerds surveyed their members on 2024 predictions and this one is the most depressing If we, as an industry, don't want to invest $10k in (digital) health, who should? And looking at the digital health IPOs I can't blame them, it's just extremely depressing

Just had a heartfelt conversation with a founder about his company's wind down. Writing it up for my newsletter. So important that this kind of content is represented, not just "look how great I'm doing or well I'm doing" stories. I learned SO much & I think you will too.

In the context of the national discourse, Stanford unequivocally condemns calls for the genocide of Jews or any peoples. That statement would clearly violate Stanford’s Fundamental Standard, the code of conduct for all students at the university.

We have a collective of people who can’t stop scrolling, struggle to get in the shower, and procrastinate every day. Our nervous systems are so overstimulated, we’re stuck in fictional freeze. More dancing, singing, hugging, being in nature, and creating.

Today at @HLTH, we announced a big leap forward in our Health Assurance journey. Introducing HATco - Health Assurance Transformation Corporation - a new company owned by General Catalyst & focused on accelerating the transformation of healthcare delivery. Part of HATco's plan is to acquire & operate a health system for the long term where we can demonstrate the blueprint of this transformation for the rest of the industry, including our partnership of over 20 leading healthcare systems. "HATco’s charter is not to disrupt healthcare systems; rather, it is to be in service of healthcare organizations everywhere to change how they deliver a fundamentally better experience for consumers – & to prove the transformative effect of a true partnership between technologists, caregivers & capital. It is our belief that by making these organizations more profitable, more vibrant & more innovative, they will be better equipped to serve everyone in their communities with greater impact." -GC's @htaneja & HATco CEO @MarcHarrisonMD Read about it from @GabrielSPerna → bit.ly/3RQ04Ec Learn more in our blog ↓ bit.ly/402zhGV

I do not have the stomach to really tweet on this, but there is one thing I have to say: It is hard to be a Jew, and watch so many people justify the murder of other Jews, the kidnappings, the brutality. It is especially hard to see it from people I know and once respected.

The below is a must read for everyone building in the current healthcare AI hype cycle It’s stories like this that set back innovation by years (yay, more skepticism). So please don’t sell smoke and mirrors, you are hurting the whole industry.

Something is seriously wrong here. We need to ask very seriously why. Stop treating young women as emotionally aberrant. Instead of trying to fix the young girl who feels hopeless, let's focus on repairing the world that adds to her hopelessness #teenmentalhealth

Over 8 yrs ago someone singlehandedly pulled me out of poverty. Knew him because I trained with his wife who is a professional athlete. He was leading a group at Citi and I desperately wanted to be an analyst. Didnt have the resume for a fancy banking job but grew up in public housing and the job was to help finance affordable housing projects. He called me and said “I will not get this job for you. However I will refer you and teach you whatever I can”. I got the job. It moved me out to SF which completely changed the trajectory of my life. One year in I received my first big analyst bonus. $20,000. I couldnt believe it. I felt ashamed. That was so much money. I messaged him and asked if they would take it back. This was his response. I read this often.

Here's a wild stat: 43% of white students admitted to Harvard are legacy, athletes, or related to donors or staff. 86% admit rate for athletes is insane.

Recently re-read this. So good. I'm that middle class kid. I had my one throw, but now trying to afford more tickets for more throws, through things like freelancing. All the while just hoping I'll never have to go back to working at the carnival.

In the Harvard Grant Study, the world’s longest running and most comprehensive psychological study, the five most mature, healthy defense mechanisms associated with higher life satisfaction were: 1. Altruism: focusing on others’ wellbeing 2. Humor: making light of difficult or stressful events or experiences 3. Sublimation: turning anger or frustration into productive energy 4. Anticipation: maintaining a realistic view of the future and its difficulties 5. Suppression: consciously suppressing unproductive and distressing thoughts wilsonquarterly.com/quarterl…

I assert confidently that No reasonable person who examined the totality of the scientific evidence on antidepressant drugs & is aware of the myriad of adverse reactions could ever proclaim they are safe & effective. So its natural to question... why would they do so?
