Guest of Honor - Seattle's most diverse podcast.

So you find someone in cardiac arrest on the side of the street, what do you do? Would you hesitate if it were a woman? What if it's a child?

Before you re-watch that episode [S05E15] of The Office, let's catch up with the multi-faceted Marion Leary, who is the Director of Innovation at University of Pennsylvania's School of Nursing. She was Philly's Geek of the Year in 2017, Philadelphia Inquirer's Health Influencer in 2019 and has been a resuscitation science researcher for many years now. We talk about innovation, design thinking, how Philadelphia is more than just the Rocky Memorial and her attempts to reduce the social and economic disparity in healthcare offerings in the US. Be it TikTok videos or Improv, Marion has adopted creative ways of getting across research and findings to the general public! Somewhere in the middle of the episode is also a clip of Michael Scott grooving to the BeeGees as Marion explains briefly about how to perform CPR. Tune in to this interesting, fact-based yet mildly funny episode which Marion refers to as "her best podcast interview" ever. This is definitely the podcast you never knew you needed!
