Today, I’m joined by a powerhouse guest: Dr. Sumbul Desai, Vice President of Health at Apple.

Whether you're obsessed with your Apple Watch or barely scratching the surface of its features, this conversation will show you just how far health tech has come.

We talk about everything from the evolution of the Apple Watch (it turns 10 this year!), to the responsibility of running a global health platform. Plus, how Dr. Desai personally navigates anxiety, motherhood, and the responsibility of creating tools that impact millions of lives—without compromising your data or privacy. Big job . . . HUGE!
