Host of Dr. Nick: The Incrementalist – #TheIncrementalist
Now on demand I am talking to Alfred Poor, Editor and Publisher of Health Tech Insider (@AlfredPoor) and a long-standing member of the technology community dating back to the early and exciting days of the first personal computers when he worked as a reporter at PC Magazine.
Listen in to hear about his front-row seat to this revolution and hear about the days of Comdex and PC Expo which “were not that big of a show”. These early experiences have shaped razor sharp insights into what creates success in innovation.

We talk about Brownian motion and how to identify the technology that will reach escape velocity.
“How do you increase the success rate”
Listen in to hear what Alfred has seen beyond the constant drive to efficiency and surprisingly:
“Don’t make what people need”
As he describes the key assets center on teams and some simple rules and concepts that can mean the difference of being a footnote to history or a brand that explodes onto the stage.
