Episode 15-31 The Achievement Habit




TechNation Radio Podcast show

Summary: On this week’s Tech Nation, Moira speaks with Stanford engineering professor BERNIE ROTH about his book “The Achievement Habit: Stop Wishing, Start Doing, and Take Command of your Life”. We discuss using design thinking to achieve goals you never thought possible. Then on BioTech Nation, we speak to DR. JAMES CALLAWAY, CEO, ArmaGen, about how they have hijacked the pathway that insulin takes into the brain to deliver drugs. The first target testing it on such rare pediatric diseases such as Hunters syndrome, Hurlers syndrome, and Sanfilippo A. Then we speak with DR. LAURENT LEVY, Founder, Naonbiotix, about how they are using the physics of nanotech trying to make radiation therapy work a whole lot better. Their first candidates are soft tissue sarcoma, head and neck cancers, and liver cancers. Whether enabling lower dosages or more precision, an old technology could get a whole lot better.
