ViVE '26: Aegis Ventures' Jon Beadle on the Economics of Consumer Health (#491)

Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson offers an inside look at her journey founding Skinmetal, why she believes that for-profit consumer product companies CAN be public health entities, and what has and hasn’t changed since her days as an early pioneer of social media in medicine. 

All that, plus the Flava of the Week about the launch of Lilly Employer Connect. Is the platform a signal that the direct-to-employer space is heating up for preventive care, and will it ultimately give consumers better priced access to name-brand obesity treatments?
