What happens when a doctor, raised to save lives, suddenly finds himself in the high-stakes world of business with no playbook to guide him?
Dr. David Stern, CEO of Experity, opens up about his journey from the fast-paced world of urgent care to leading a tech company that serves thousands of clinics across the country.
But his isn’t just a story of business success—it’s a story of raw determination, personal growth, and leadership forged in the fires of crisis.
Dr. Stern reflects on the pivotal moments that nearly broke him—like the federal investigation that threatened everything he built. How did he pull through the darkest times?
What lessons did he learn as he transformed from a physician into the leader his company desperately needed?
In this powerful conversation, Dr. Stern shares the advice he would give to his younger self, how he rewired his approach to leadership, and the humbling truth he discovered when everything seemed lost.
This isn’t just about business—it’s about resilience, the courage to pivot, and the heart it takes to lead when the stakes are highest.

What if your biggest leadership advantage… was knowing when to say less?
Today’s guest is Hans Stig Moller, CEO of Odyssey Logistics—a global logistics powerhouse that moves freight across 130 countries. But here’s the twist: Hans doesn’t lead with volume. He leads with calm. Curiosity. And radical humility.
Raised in Denmark, shaped by gritty experience in the shipping yards, and guided by a deeply people-first mindset, Hans opens up about what it really takes to earn trust at scale—without burning out or losing yourself in the title.
In this episode, you’ll hear how a moment behind the scenes in accounting forever changed how Hans views “leading by example”… how a career setback turned into an MBA on steroids… and why he believes listening—truly listening—is one of the most underrated executive skills.
We also go deep on how he tracks his time like a venture investment, why he says AI is transforming logistics quarter by quarter, and how his Danish roots still shape every boardroom and town hall he steps into.
If you’re leading a team, navigating growth, or just trying to become a more grounded, strategic version of yourself—this one will hit home.
