He calls it the DeepSeek moment in medicine.We also get into how he decides what to pursue, what his hiring philosophy looks like in 2025 (two words: fear and doubt), and what "balance" actually means when you're spending 18 hours a day doing work you love.This isn't a conversation about what's coming.
