Ep #001 - Literacy and Critical Thinking: A Conversation with Vanessa Otero
How do we actually know what’s true online?
In this premiere episode of Bluestock Talk, Allison sits down with Vanessa Otero, founder of Ad Fontes Media and creator of the Media Bias Chart, to unpack truth, bias, and the skills we all need to navigate today’s chaotic information landscape.
A thought-provoking takeaway from Vanessa:
“The most important signal when determining what’s true is evidence.”
Ep #002 - The Power of Storytelling and Innovation in Medicine: A Conversation with David Hindin
What happens when a trauma surgeon, innovator, and storyteller sits down to talk about how medicine actually moves forward?
In this episode of Bluestock Talk, Allison sits down with Dr. David Hindin: trauma surgeon, entrepreneur, host of the "First in Human" podcast, and Associate Director of the Stanford Biodesign Faculty Fellowship.
Together they explore two forces that quietly shape modern healthcare: storytelling and innovation.
A key takeaway from David:
"Stories are how knowledge and experience get passed down in medicine."
Ep #003 - Facts Alone Don’t Change Minds: A Conversation with Cameron Kit
What if one of the most powerful tools in MedTech isn’t a device at all… but a story?
In this episode of Bluestock Talk, Allison sits down with Cameron Kit: filmmaker, founder of Yo-Yos, and one of the sharpest storytellers working in healthcare and MedTech today.
One of Cameron’s most powerful points:
“Facts cannot change someone’s mind. Only a good story does that. So then it’s backed up by facts.”
