Jon Pearce, CEO of Masterlete: From Zipnosis to Masterlete: Redefining Resilience
On episode #178 of #TheShot of #DigitalHealth Therapy, Jim Joyce and I had a blast chatting with Jonathan Pearce, the thoughtful and forward-looking CEO of Masterlete - and previously the co-founder and CEO of Zipnosis, the company that pioneered asynchronous telemedicine long before it was mainstream.
From balancing athlete-grade performance with mental resilience to building a company that refuses to compromise between data and empathy, Jon brings his trademark blend of humility and precision. He also opened up about his own mental health journey, reminding us that resilience isn’t just a leadership skill - it’s a human one.
It’s an episode that reminds us - even in a world of algorithms and wearables, the human spirit still defines the win.
