Daniel Tse, MD, is a product manager at Google Health. In this episode, we talk about his unconventional path to healthcare and AI, and discuss the career angst that many may feel when they wonder that if the path they are on is the right path. I can’t say that we’ve discovered the perfect answer in this interview, but I will say that Dr. Tse is someone who has thought deeply about this question as you can see from his unique career and will probably provide some good words of advice.

Had a real pleasure recording this interview. Hope you all enjoy!
