About this listen

 After a summer podcasting break, Jim Joyce and I are back and on this episode of #TheShot of #DigitalHealth Therapy, we finally cornered the legendary Erik de Heus, CEO of SkinVision (yes, only 173 episodes in… shame on us). From biking along Amsterdam canals to catching curveballs in Dutch baseball, to scaling energy startups and now leading SkinVision, Erik’s story is a mix of persistence, humility, and “just follow your dream” wisdom. If you’ve ever wondered how a kid bossing his friends on the playground ends up building digital health business that catch melanoma early and save lives at scale - this one’s for you.
