From Medicine to Management: Insights from Dr. Najib Jai
from No Operating Manual · host Erin O'Brien
Dr. Najib Jai talks about how wanting to be a doctor as a child, largely shaped by his mom’s generosity, eventually led him somewhere a little different. He shares how stepping outside of clinical practice helped him understand how healthcare actually works, what it was like to build and sell a health tech company, and why value-based care is still so hard to get right. Along the way, Najib reflects on entrepreneurship, why grit matters, and why enjoying the work is just as important as winning, especially when most startups don’t go the way you expect.
