Meg welcomes Eliza Sternlicht, Co-Founder and COO of MediCircle, a New Jersey-based pharmaceutical redistribution startup. 

Eliza Sternlicht is not only a startup co-founder with a rich history of working to solve medical issues and disparities, she’s a senior in college at Brown University. At such a young age, Eliza already has an enviable resume full of noble causes tackled.

Her most recent project is MediCircle, a New Jersey-based pharmaceutical redistributor. They connect unused, unexpired oral cancer medications with charitable clinics where patients can receive them, free of charge.

On today’s show, Meg and Eliza discuss Eliza's history of working to solve medical issues and disparities over the course of both her high school and college years; how she and co-founder, Jack Schaeffer, discovered the issue of unused, wasted cancer medication which led to the founding of MediCircle; Danny Worshay's class and book, "See, Solve, Scale," and how it informed MediCircle’s inception; Eliza's rich and varied family endeavors; her advice for young startups; and much more.
