David Jetmore on Education
In this third conversation, David reflects on education—not only as schooling, but as a lifelong process shaped by opportunity, inequality, discipline, and curiosity. He considers how the playing field shifts after childhood, why some students flourish while others struggle, and what it really means to learn across a lifetime. We explore the fragility of attention, the responsibility of teachers, and the evolving wisdom that comes from experience, humility, and continued growth.
“We may all be created equal when we exit our mother’s wombs, but then the playing field becomes incredibly uneven for the majority of people. Some people have every advantage. Others have none.” (David, 5:32)

“So, yeah, I’m grateful for those old men. Hell, they were younger than me at that time. They were probably guys in their 60s. They were gruff. But I learned something from them.” (David, 17:39)

David Jetmore on Health
In this first conversation, David reflects on a lifetime in medicine, from his early ideals as a young doctor to the realities of practicing healthcare over decades. We talk about what society misunderstands about health, what still matters most, and what technology has given us… and quietly taken away.
“I liked it better when the patient was looking at my face and I was looking at his. And we were reading each other’s truths. You know, that’s truly the art of medicine. (David, 34:08)
