Rebels with a Cause:  Exploring the Element of Curiosity Part 1.   

Mobeen and Matthew welcome an exceptional guest in this episode, William Jones.  William is the founder of an angel-funded pre-seed start-up, Leynek Medical, headquartered in Ottawa, Canada. Leynek Medical is focused on the design and commercialization of hardware and software aimed at improving the delivery of primary care to cancer patients and revolutionizing oncology in the community and primary care setting.   

In part 1 of this conversation, William discusses the importance of rebel “curiosity” to drive health innovation and challenge the norms of how health services are organized and delivered.  From William’s perspective, a good rebel channels curiosity appropriately.  Based on his experience, curiosity is best received in the right “time and place” depending on the stage of product development and the business cycle or needs of the organization.   

William’s curiosity drove his ten-year quest to eventually create Leynek Medical.  He discusses the leadership skill of listening to stakeholders and carefully observing today’s health processes.  Understanding the present environment helped William and his team generate breakthroughs and fresh new perspectives on how to deliver health care to oncology patients.   

Often, being curious starts early in life.  William recalls that curiosity and his thirst for learning originated in childhood and continues today as he promotes curiosity with his children, within his company and the broader health system.
