Robert J. Schena joins me to discuss the potential for wearable devices and artificial intelligence to play a role in providing care in new and inventive ways. Robert is CEO, President and Co-founder of Rajant Corporation. He was appointed to the State of Pennsylvania's Ben Franklin Technology Board by Governor Ridge in 2001, reappointed by Governor Rendell in 2004 and 2008, and reappointed by Governor Wolf in 2016. His vision is to expand care to those who are in rural and underserved areas as well as using technology to measure real time metrics related to an individual's health care. In our conversation he describes his vision and why he thinks that these goals are possible to achieve.

  Geoffrey Berwind is a story teller. His skill is well honed over years of running a theatre in the Philadelphia suburbs called Celebration Theatre. That catapulted him into becoming the director of a story series called Historic Philadelphia, Inc. created under Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell. It was a joint project with the National Park Service that provided historically based stories for people visiting Philadelphia's historic sites.   "I didn't know what I was doing," Geoffrey confesses. But he knew he was onto something when Governor Rendell put down his Blackberry, told his aide to hush, and listened intently to Geoffrey's story.   Geoffrey had everything riding on this moment. He'd closed down his family business. He'd sold his house. He'd funded Celebration Theatre and he desperately needed a break.   And hope was about to appear as Governor Rendell looked up from his Blackberry, told his aide to be silent, and he simply sat, mesmerized by Geoffrey's story,  That moment changed the trajectory of Geoffrey's life. He found his footing and mustered the energy to move forward with a little help from his best friend who told him: "I beleive in you. You're so talented. You can do anything you want." That moment of compassion was the turning point for Geoffrey. He poured his energy into the historic series, not knowing what the future might hold. But the future had an incredible ride planned out for this business man turned story teller.

Governor Ed Rendell is a lawyer, author, and politician. From 1992 until 2000, he served as the Mayor of Philadelphia. Shortly after that, in 2001, he was elected 45th Governor of Pennsylvania, and would go on to serve two terms. In this episode, we’ll hear how he got his start in public service as Philadelphia District Attorney in the early 80s. He'll share how representing everyday Philadelphians inspired him to devote his career to Philly. We’ll talk about his time as mayor, when he inherited a city on the brink of bankruptcy. He managed to balance the budget, achieve a surplus for 5 years, and set in motion the renaissance that created the city we know today. And, we’ll talk about how, in the 80s, Governor Rendell almost quit politics altogether after his first two attempts at public office. @GovEdRendell on Twitter 1993 NY Times Article - "Philadelphia Climbs Out of Fiscal Depths and Builds by Sharing Sacrifices" Support Philly Who?
