In this episode of Incumbents and Insurgents, Eric Larsen sits down with A. Marc Harrison, M.D. (Chair, TowerBrook Healthcare Institute) for a reflective conversation about what leadership demands in the AI transformation. Marc traces the through line across a career spent at successive inflection points — Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, Intermountain, HATCo, and now TowerBrook — and speaks candidly about purpose and what makes a life healthy: to love, to be loved, and to do meaningful work. They also discuss why criticism of clinical AI must be weighed against a system where 200,000 Americans die each year due to medical errors.
