Episode Description

Upon first hearing Dr. Rosenberg speak at a conference, I was struck by the extremely impressive career he has built combatting disease and violence across the world and the modest manner in which he spoke. As a meaning in work researcher, I immediately recognized that Dr. Rosenberg has been working at a level of achievement and impact many people hunger for in their lives but often don’t quite attain. I wanted to have Dr. Rosenberg on my show to gain a glimpse of what was behind this man who had given himself to public service and done so much for the world. In this interview, we talk on a personal level as Dr. Rosenberg shares why he chose the field of public health, the profound role his mentors have played in his life, and the sense of pride and connection he’s experienced serving side by side with his fellow committed professionals in their common quest to improve health for the world's most vulnerable people.
