About this listen

⚠️ Warning: Listening to this episode may cause spontaneous inspiration, side effects include rethinking innovation, falling in love with Denmark, and Googling “intelligent bricks.” Meet Anne C. Fleischer — engineer, innovator, former LEO Pharma exec, and now leading Consumer Engagement & New Business Models for Obesity at Novo Nordisk. She grew up in a village so small that your soccer team was whoever showed up to class that day. She wanted to be a helicopter pilot or a doctor, but got motion sickness and couldn’t get into med school...... So she built a new path- literally - constructing heart pump mannequins, NFC-enabled pavement tiles, and eventually digital health products that helped millions. 💥 This episode is a masterclass in doing things differently—with a sense of humor, a killer vision, and a very Danish ability to keep it real.
