65. Riding the Innovation Cycle, with Dr. Christopher Wasden

"Riding the innovation cycle" is the topic of discussion on this week's episode of the podcast. Dr. Christopher Wasden, Executive Director of the Sorenson Center for Discovery & Innovation at the University of Utah, joins us to talk about: 

• Why fast, frequent, frugal failure can be a recipe for innovation success
• The types of brain waves necessary for any of us to innovate successfully
• What to expect from the next wave of innovation in the world of health care.

As a global thought leader on Innovation and Digital Health, Dr. Wasden has written and published over 60 articles, book chapters, and reports on the topic. He speaks often on how Innovation and Digital Health are transforming the practice of medicine, the delivery of care, and the creation of an entirely new wellness paradigm. Dr. Wasden is a named inventor on 11 issued patents and has been a leader in 10 different startups, where he developed many of his ideas around the innovation cycle and lifecycle and which he outlines in his forthcoming book, Tension: The Energy of Innovation – How Harnessing Tension Fuels Your Creative Genius.
