    Erik de Heus: From Dreaming Big to Detecting Early
    Aug 27 2025
    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.

    On this episode of #TheShot of #DigitalHealth Therapy, Jim Joyce and I freeze time (and nearly our toes) with the extraordinary Dr Jack Kreindler -longevity doctor, tech founder, and Antarctic explorer. This is only our second-ever long-form episode, and we couldn't be more honored to have Jack join us for it.

It’s a ride through resilient humans, wild biohacks, and the hilarious humility of medicine in the age of AI.
