Episode Description

Drex and Sarah join to discuss how board members are quietly using personal AI tools to review confidential health system materials, and most organizations have no policy for it. From there, the conversation gets personal. Sarah shares how she uses her AI agent as a real-time wellness coach, adjusting nutrition and habits on the fly. Drex unpacks his experience with WHOOP and asks the question every wearable user should be asking: when you clicked accept, who actually owns your data? Then the conversation shifts to Epic's Su Mi, his decision to step away, and what it reveals about identity, purpose, and the cost of never stopping
