Doug shares how he went from country songwriter to content strategist, what founders get wrong about stakeholder pain, and why great content starts with audience research, not just a blog calendar. You'll hear how HealthTech Content helps startups ditch jargon, speak to real-world frustrations, and personalize messaging that converts at events and beyond.
