Jeff Greenfield's journey is fascinating. As a child he was enchanted with magic, fell in love with Disney, and was transformed by a year in Israel during high school. 

Jeff shares how his early experiences shaped his career path, from studying biochemistry at the University of Maryland to becoming a chiropractor, all the while nurturing his passion for close-up magic. A car accident meant he had to stop practicing, but ultimately led him to embrace the burgeoning internet era of the mid-90s.

Next, we lift the veil on the complexities of modern digital advertising. We explore how digital marketing has shifted the focus to the bottom of the funnel, increasing competition and costs. A captivating case study about leveraging MasterCard data to target weight loss customers highlights the sophisticated and costly nature of today's advertising strategies. 

In the final chapter, we delve into the intricate world of healthcare and pharmaceutical marketing privacy. Jeff sheds light on the dual-focus strategy of targeting both healthcare providers and consumers, explaining how pharmaceutical companies educate providers while raising consumer awareness. The evolution from traditional TV and radio ads to digital marketing is discussed, with an emphasis on the impact of iOS privacy changes and browser policy updates. We explore the significance of first-party and third-party cookies in the ad economy and the challenges posed by their potential phase-out.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
