Dr. Chris Duff is the Director of Platform & Community at FundRx, an early-stage healthcare venture capital firm.
He is a doctor-by-training with marketing expertise across a wide range of industries.
Fun fact here - One of the industries include selling chicken coops online.
In this podcast, Chris and I discuss his journey from completing medical school at the University of Illinois to becoming a director at FundRx
We also discussed how he avoided his sunk cost fallacy and was able to objectively evaluate what he enjoyed and did not enjoy
Which ultimately led to him to be 1 of 200 people in his class of medical students to take the lesser-taken path of not pursuing a residency and blazing his own trail to his current dream job.
Chris also shares his massive failures in his first and second businesses prior to starting from scratch to acquire his digital marketing skillset
I really enjoyed my conversation with Chris. Please enjoy!
