The modern world, and the products we use everyday, are making us sick. But what if we could shift this trend and start to build health into everyday life? That's exactly what Steve Downs and Thomas Goetz, co-founders of Building H, are working on. Steve, the former CTO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, joins us to discuss how Building H is helping companies and designers re-engineer products and “product environments” so they improve rather than harm health. We discuss:Shocking trends in American health: 48% of Americans are lonely, 35% dont get six hours a night of sleep and 60% of adult calories come from ultra-processed food.The mistake of thinking of our daily choices as “individual” decisions, when these decisions are profoundly shaped by our environments and the products we use.The Building H Index, which evaluates everyday products against five metrics of health: eating, physical activity, sleep, social connection, and spending time outdoors.Culdesac - A real-estate developer that is building “cities for people without cars”.Steve asks how we could broaden consumer product regulation to focus on broad health impacts, not just safety: "McDonald's is not responsible for all the food related chronic illnesses in America. But you might argue that they are, I don't know, 1.7%, responsible or 3.8% responsible … I think we ultimately need to get to a place where if your product is leading to unhealthy behaviors, which is leading to illness and disease and cost, there may need to be some accountability for that."

Is the everyday world making us sick? Can we hold companies responsible for the health consequences of their products and services? How do you design health into the operating systems of our civilization? Steve Downs is a co-founder at Building H, a project to build health into everyday life. Steve, his Building H co-founder Thomas Goetz, and other collaborators are growing a community of entrepreneurs, investors, designers, engineers and researchers who believe that we need to re-imagine everyday life—how we eat, sleep, get from place to place, socialize and entertain ourselves—to be healthy by design. In addition to community building, Building H and their collaborators are developing tools to help companies understand the impacts of their products and services on the health and well-being of their users. Steve is a lecturer at the d.school at Stanford University and an adjunct faculty member at the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Prior to his role at Building H, he was the chief technology and strategy officer at Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) where he focused on the practice of program strategy and on the alignment of the Foundation's technology strategy and operations with its organizational directions. Recognizing that RWJF's pursuit of its ambitious Culture of Health vision required an approach to strategy that is highly flexible and adaptive, he led a transformation of the Foundation's approach to program strategy. Born in New Hampshire, Steve earned an SM in technology and policy from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a BS in physics and applied physics from Yale University. Thomas Goetz is a journalist, author and entrepreneur. He uses data, design, and stories to help people understand and navigate complicated issues in their lives. Thomas is the co-founder of Iodine, an award-winning website that helps people make sense of their health and medicines. In 2016, Iodine was acquired by GoodRx, America's leading source for prescription drug savings, where he presently serves as chief of research. Thomas was previously the executive editor at WIRED, which he led to a dozen National Magazine Awards in as many years, and where he wrote dozens of cover stories on technology, science, and medicine. He began his career as a reporter at the Village Voice and the Wall Street Journal, and has written for the New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, and Bon Appetite. His writing has been repeatedly selected for the Best American Science Writing and Best Technology Writing anthologies. He served as the first Entrepreneur-in-Residence for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, where he founded Flip the Clinic, an RWJ Signature Program working to transform the practitioner-patient encounter. His 2010 TED talk on visualizing medical data has been viewed more than half a million times. He holds an MPH from UC Berkeley and a MA in literature from UVA.

Episode 25: Recorded November 15, 2021 “I think of you as the Sir Mark Prescott of American coursing...”Host John Parker on Steve Downs and his involvement in coursing in the United States Show Notes Steve Downs is a fourth generation Greyhound man. His father's family hailed from California and became interested in hunting hares, also referred to as as jackrabbits in the United States. Steve caught his first hare around the age of five with the first Greyhound he could call his own, a black brindle named Felix. In 1990, Steve joined a friend for a coursing meeting sanctioned by the National Open Field Coursing Association (NOFCA). On this trip to Wyoming, he experienced coursing under rules for the first time with his Greyhound. Steve's favorite Greyhound at the time -- Sally -- won the hunt on his behalf. NOFCA, founded in the 1960s, established rules for walked-up coursing in the United States for most of the sighthound breeds. Steve would continue his involvement with the organization into the mid-2000s when he became a licensed judge for NOFCA coursing meetings. He also began to breed his own Greyhounds for open field coursing and developed a sense for the traits that made for excellent coursing dogs. In this episode, host John Parker and Steve discuss the history of open field coursing in the United States, including the evolution of NOFCA as a governing body for the sport. Steve shares his experiences as a breeder, a judge, and a competitor during the course of the interview.

In this episode Seth and Steve Downs sit down for a great conversation about the aspects of sighthound competition hunting and how it has added dimension and depth to the coursing lifestyle. Along the way Steve also talks about his life with sighthounds, how incredible the humble Hare is, and his very interesting and successful breeding of old school hunting Greyhounds.
