Description

Dr. Michael Gibson grew up in Stillwell, Oklahoma — a town where life expectancy was just 56 years. Decades later, his work has helped save millions of lives and brought free medical knowledge to the world through WikiDoc, an open-source encyclopedia with nearly a billion views a year.


In this episode, Dr. Gibson shares how he went from dreaming of stock car racing to revolutionizing cardiology, fighting medical gatekeeping, and creating a future where lifesaving information is free for everyone.
