In the second half of the episode, we get into the part of Ricky’s story that most people never hear about:
- His move into a health-tech startup trying to use AI to support chemotherapy patients — what they got right, what they got wrong, and what the NHS could never have provided the room to experiment with.
- The emotional cost of working around cancer care, and why even the smartest tools struggle when real humans are involved.
- What founders don’t tell you about health startups: the chaos, the optimism, and the moment you realise you’re building something genuinely useful.
- Ricky’s own mental health journey — how he recognised he was slipping, what made him stop, and the surprisingly simple things that pulled him back.
- Why competence can be a trap: the danger of becoming “the person who always copes” until you suddenly can’t.
- A conversation about purpose, burnout, and the thin line between ambition and self-harm in high-pressure careers.
