EP 65: Dr. Kavita Patel: The Promise Of GLP-1s, Making Money & Learning From Failure
Dr. Kavita Patel is the definition of a high achiever. She holds multiple demanding jobs: a primary care physician, a venture partner at New Enterprise Associates, a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, and a medical contributor for NBC News.
And those are just the roles she has right now. Previously, she served as a director of policy in the Obama White House and a deputy staff director on health for Sen Ted Kennedy.
So what drives her to pursue new challenges? Dr. Patel shares with Karen Finerman how her upbringing as one of three daughters of Indian parents who owned and operated a motel in Texas shaped her approach to earning a living. Plus, Dr. Patel explains how a friend from across the political aisle “RSVP’d” her into a new opportunity that allowed her to build generational wealth for her family, and how that experience shaped her approach to helping others.
💬 In this episode, we explore:
The game-changing nature of GLP-1s and what Dr. Patel sees as the potential additional efficacies for this class of drugs
In a time when conversations around certain medical and scientific issues have become more politicized, Dr. Patel explains how her approach has evolved, in a way she hopes helps understanding in both directions.
The unique way Dr. Patel uses her “failures” to learn and become a better leader
Dr. Patel shares her strategy for entering new spaces and why she loves learning difficult things
