Curious how today’s students can jump the gap from classroom learning to real healthcare impact? We sit down with Emily Todd, Senior Manager for Career Partnerships at Pearson, to unpack a practical blueprint: engage employers earlier, leverage AI and simulations to widen access, and build the soft skills that carry across every care setting. Emily explains why middle school is not too soon to spark career intent, how...
The hardest part of a clinical trial often happens before it even begins: matching the right patient to the right protocol at the right time. This conversation unpacks why pre-screening has become the chief enrollment bottleneck—and how purpose-built AI, secure platforms, and real partnerships can turn that choke point into a fast lane for access to care.
Together with Hamza Hasan (CEO, Clinical AI; Co-Founder, VisionM...
Most enterprise knowledge lives in chaos—PDFs, email threads, scans, recordings—and for years that chaos resisted automation. We sit down with Bernard Aceituno, Co-Founder of Stack AI, to unpack how generative models and agentic systems finally tackle the messy 90% of data and convert it into measurable actions.
Bernard draws a sharp line between keyword search and real understanding, showing how reasoning traces and t...
Ever wondered how a passport stays secure, an EV gains range, or a phone camera keeps getting sharper without getting heavier? At the Ideagen Global Leadership Summit, we sat down with Daniel Kochik, Government Affairs Manager at Covestro LLC, to pull back the curtain on the materials that quietly make modern life possible—and what it takes to reinvent them for a lower-carbon future. From polyurethane foams in your ch...
New York’s streets may be closed for UN Week, but the doors to a different kind of summit are wide open: a pastor and two clinicians speaking plainly about stigma, access, and the future of mental health care. From a rare disease and a near-fatal stroke to a 10,000-member congregation, we trace how one leader’s decision to seek therapy led to a free, community-powered clinic in Harlem—and why moving care outside the c...
What if the missing piece in your biggest initiative isn’t budget or talent—but the story that carries it forward? We sat down with a true DC operator, a chief growth officer building sustainable tech, a global education leader, and a design author to map how courage, narrative, and community turn complex ideas into real outcomes.
From the Hill to the boardroom, we break down how to move beyond “policy will happen to u...
Five subway stops shouldn’t cost a decade of life. That jarring image sets the stage for a fast-moving, solutions-focused conversation with leaders who are closing health gaps, reimagining summer learning as a college pipeline, and delivering school-based mental health at scale. Together, they connect the dots between business, philanthropy, nonprofits, and public systems—showing how collaboration becomes a real lever...
Leadership lands differently when it’s lived, not laminated. This power panel of student leaders—Taylor Smith, George Sifakis II, Alexa Sifakis (Moderator), and Paul Christou—brings fresh, grounded stories about what it means to serve first, listen well, and turn influence into impact. From raising funds for cancer support to building a coding community that helps young women master AI and machine learning, these stud...
What if brain health were as actionable as heart health—measured early, managed proactively, and supported by tools you can use at home? In this conversation from the Ideagen Global Leadership Summit, we bring together a startup CEO, a medtech innovator, and an age-tech investor to map a path from stigma and late-stage crisis to early detection, prevention, and real treatment options.
The discussion begins by distingui...

Alongside the technical journey, we explore how biochar, regenerative practices, and farmer-first mark...
A wish on a tiny plush heart became the spark for one of retail’s most unexpected transformations. In this episode, Sharon Price John, President and CEO of Build-A-Bear Workshop, traces how a brand once seen as “mall-bound” reframed its identity around purpose, turned a tactile ritual into a global IP engine, and built the habits to weather everything from the retail apocalypse to a full pandemic shutdown. The through...

A 15-seat burger joint in Soho wasn’t supposed to become a global brand—but it did, thanks to an irresistible product and a story that couldn’t be ignored. In this episode, Julie Mulligan, CEO & Co-Founder of Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer, sits down with Robert Reiss, Founder & CEO of The CEO Forum, to unpack how an architect’s mindset built a hospitality engine: precise systems, guest-centric design, and...

What if the difference between stalled change and a moonshot is your mindset? We sit down with Lenovo’s Ed Soo Hoo to unpack why the best leaders aren’t defined by titles or toolkits but by authenticity, service, and the courage to “blink first.” From four decades across startups and global enterprises, Ed maps a clear strategy for building momentum: protect the core, stretch into adjacencies, and seed the future—runn...
A single coach who guaranteed every kid real playing time changed Kevin Dunbar’s life—and now that ethos powers CFY’s county-wide movement to remove barriers for 15,000 young people. We dig into a simple promise with outsized results: if a child wants to play, learn water safety, or pursue college, money won’t stand in the way. With an endowment that covers operating costs, every donated dollar goes straight to a kid’...
