This episode we hear from Fred Ridley, a well-recognized partner at the law firm Foley & Lardner LLP. He is also the current chairman of Augusta National Golf Club and its annual tournaments, which includes The Masters in April. Fred is also well known for being the last US Amateur champion not to turn pro - having won in 1975. He grew up in Lakeland, Florida, learning to play golf on municipal courses. He went on to play collegiate golf at the University of Florida on a team that eventually won a national title, played once and served twice as Team captain in the Walker Cup, and played once and served as team captain once in the World Amateur Team Championship. He has also served in various executive roles for the USGA including President in the mid-2000s. So - incredible record - why not turn pro? Fred made a firm decision at a young age to work toward a career in law, and points to his role model and Augusta National founder, Bobby Jones, as his inspiration. After graduating from Stetson Law, Fred went to work for IMG, Mark McCormack's sports agency in Cleveland. Eventually, he came back to Tampa - in that transition he stopped playing competitive golf, dug into work, and found his way to Foley & Lardner where he has been since 2001. Fred and I discuss his foundations in golf, his transition from being known as a golfer to becoming known as a working professional, the commonalities in his executive roles on and off the golf course, and his definition of “grow the game.”

This interview is part of our HIMSS18 coverage and was recorded live on the showroom floor. On this episode I talk with Nathaniel Lacktman, Health Care Partner and Chair of Telemedicine Industry Team and Digital Health Group at Foley & Lardner. He's also one of the nation's leading voices on telemedicine laws and business models. Nate gives us a quick primer on why startups and entrepreneurs shouldn't put legal issues on the back-burner, especially when it comes to fraud and abuse. He tells us how we can avoid big problems down the road by coming up with a business model that establishes legally acceptable ways to grow and that takes the laws of all 50 states into consideration. This portion of the conversation echoed the advice Dexter Braff gave us a few episodes back about how to build a company that others want to invest in. Nate also makes predictions about where the telemedicine market is headed. He's very excited about asynchronous telemedicine and makes a compelling case for how it can improve the patient experience and create new opportunities for doctors to work the way they want to. Nate knows that asynchronous telemedicine isn't the best approach in many healthcare situations, but it works really well in others and should be embraced there. For example, many protocol-based, decision-tree primary care activities are great candidates for an asynchronous approach. Nate opened my eyes to a whole new world of possibility in telemedicine with this asynchronous approach.
