In the latest episode of the "Books to the Boardroom" podcast, we are honoured to have James Fielding, CEO of Audeara, as our guest speaker. James is a remarkable individual who combines his medical background with a passion for invention, music and innovation. He is driven by a deep commitment to improving lives and refuses to accept the status quo when it comes to healthcare.

As a doctor, he's witnessed firsthand the impact of preventable hearing loss on his patients. Instead of accepting the limitations of existing solutions, he chose to take action and founded Audeara, a company dedicated to bringing groundbreaking audio technology to the masses. This move not only demonstrates his entrepreneurial spirit but also his dedication to making a difference on a larger scale.

One of the key aspects of James's leadership style is his constant pursuit of knowledge. He understands the value of surrounding himself with individuals who can teach him something new. This mindset not only fosters personal growth but also enhances his ability to lead and inspire others in the healthcare field.

By challenging the traditional norms and constantly seeking innovation, James serves as an inspiration to those in healthcare. His refusal to accept "the way it is" showcases his determination to overcome obstacles and create positive change. His story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the impact that a single individual can have on an entire industry.

During the podcast, we will delve deeper into his leadership philosophy, his journey from being a doctor to becoming the CEO of a pioneering audio technology company, and the lessons he has learned along the way. We hope that this conversation will not only inspire our listeners but also encourage them to embrace their own ability to effect change and make a difference in their respective fields.
