Dr. Adam Carewe had what many would consider the ideal position. A practicing physician with leadership influence inside one of the largest healthcare systems in the world. Stability. Impact. Respect.
But underneath that success was a growing tension. The systems he worked within weren’t built to move at the pace of innovation he believed healthcare needed. And the more he saw what was possible with technology, AI, and informatics, the harder it became to stay where he was.
In this conversation, Adam opens up about the slow buildup to leaving, the identity shift that comes with stepping away from institutional success, and the reality of trading certainty for speed and possibility. He also breaks down the hidden friction in healthcare, from administrative overload to the gap between consumer technology and clinical systems.
This episode is a real look at what it costs to leave when nothing is technically “wrong” and what it takes to build something better anyway.
Enjoy!
