Dr Antony Rapisarda is our guest for this episode of the randInt podcast and this may be one of the most far ranging, funny and (of course) random conversations we’ve had thus far on the podcast! Anthony is a medical doctor who spent years doing research in various fields including molecular genomics then proceeded to complete his medical studies only to find himself in the US start-up scene. After several years in the fast-paced environment seeing that project take off, he chose to return to Australia to continue his medical training, only to find more problems needing solutions, which led to the founding of OrthoDx, his latest project!
Everything about the episode from how we crossed paths with Anthony (introduced by a previous guest) to the topics we cover are both random, but also very insightful of a person who has followed his curiosity to build a diverse career that truly values tackling the bigger challenges. Along the way we talk about the many, many hurdles, challenges and chance encounters that led him to where he is today.
Some of the things we cover include…

How chatting to a random Texan guy led to him being offer the role of Chief Medical Officer
Why he DECLINED the offer!
What it’s like pulling SHARK TEETH off a leg
Why someone who’s been so successful CHOOSES to go back to square one (essentially) in medicine
How to maintain focus on a project when there’s just so many things going on
and more!
