Imagine growing up in Australia, moving to the US, getting into the highly competitive medical school there at the world renowned Mayo Clinic, finishing and NOT becoming a practicing doctor! Today's guest is someone who's done exactly that: Dr Ryan Begley!
Both Chandra and I have known Ryan for years but never really known how he ended up with such a wide range of skills that he uses in his various roles in many start-ups. In this interview-sode, we discuss:

What made Ryan try for medical school?
Why did he NOT pursue a medical career?
What exactly is consulting?
The many differences between the US and Australia
does he even listen to this podcast and much more!

Ryan is a bit of a recluse on the world of the internet and preferred to be contacted via us in case anything took your fancy. Please email us at [email protected] and we'll pass on a message.
