#172: Ian Maurer (GenomOncology) — Precision Oncology, Convergence of Genomics & AI, and Improving Cancer Care
06/27/24 • 60 min
Ian Maurer — Chief Technology Officer at GenomOncology and co-lead of the Cancer Informatics for Cancer Centers’ AI working group.
With over two decades of software experience, Ian has led GenomOncology — a Cleveland-based software company — in their pursuit to provide the healthcare community with data-driven insights to improve cancer care and strengthen precision oncology programs by transforming valuable, but unusable data, into actionable oncology treatment options and strategic insights.
Founded back in 2012 and backed by Cleveland-local investors like JumpStart, NorthCoast Ventures, and Zapis Capital, GenomOncology was early to understand the implications of the convergence of genomics and artificial intelligence as it applies to oncology and Ian has been pivotal in architecting and creating their precision oncology platform to this end.
This was an incredibly insightful and informative discussion — Ian lays out the state of precision oncology and cancer care, how the field has progressed over time, the founding and evolution of GenomOncology to meliorate this space, solving hard problems, building in Cleveland, the ever-changing frontiers of AI and genomics, exponential technology, and a whole lot more!

#171: Umberto Fedeli Round II — Lifelong Learning, Happiness, Wealth, and Investing
Umberto P. Fedeli — Founder, President, and CEO of The Fedeli Group
I first had the opportunity to speak with Umberto on this podcast just over a year ago! At the time, our conversation extended far beyond what we were able to include in the original episode exploring his Italian heritage & Cleveland upbringing, the evolution of his career, life philosophies, the power of networking & connecting people, and his approach to business as both an investor and entrepreneur as the founder of one of the largest risk management and insurance firms in Ohio — to set the right context for today’s conversation, I’d encourage you to listen to Umberto share his perspective on Lay of The Land’s 135th episode.
In our conversation today, we pick up where we left off and continue to unpack Umberto’s abundance of wisdom, earned learnings, and insights over his career and life—spanning themes from investing, commitment to lifelong learning, character & personal growth, happiness, fulfillment & significance, money & motivation, purpose & meaning, giving back and lots more!

#173: Mitchell Vargo (Forward Hospitality Group) — The Business of Hospitality & Entertainment in Cleveland
Mitchell Vargo, Partner at Forward Hospitality Group.
Since its founding in 2015, the Cleveland-based Hospitality Group has built out unique entertainment, bar, and restaurant experiences locally and all across the country — from here in Cleveland to Chicago, Miami, and beyond!
The breadth of concepts spans FWD — the large-scale day and nightclub built on a shipyard in the East Flats with a quintessential Cleveland industrial backdrop, coined the Ibiza of the midwest and pulling some of the largest names from EDM and beyond, like Rick Ross, DeadMau5, Steve Aoki, Afrojack and more ... also my personal favorite. Across the spectrum, Forward has built out Goodnight John Boy, the 70’s-themed disco bar, Welcome to the Farm, a Nashville-inspired country music bar, Shake It, a casual burger joint, and lots more.
This conversation was a lot of fun — Mitch and I unpack the intersection of hospitality and entrepreneurship, the perception, branding and evolution of Cleveland as a city, the business of nightlife, Mitch’s path to this line of work and how he manages himself and others through it, and a whole lot more!
