Today’s guest is Dr. Jonathan Sackner-Bernstein, a cardiologist by training with a background in electrical engineering. He has had an amazing career so far… After doing his internal medicine residency and cardiology fellowship at Mount Sinai in New York, he discovered his love for product development, which took him along a new and very interesting career path. Among other positions, he served as an advisor to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and was invited by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to serve as a consultant to their new Biological Tactics Office.

In a very inspiring TED talk at TEDx Brussels he discussed the fact that it’s never too late to leave your dent in the universe. I highly recommend you watch the talk! A large portion of our interview is dealing with the things he discussed in that talk:
