Came for one of my besties big bday… but was able to see the incredible solar eclipse, thank our DeepLook radiologists for their work at Oxford, meet with amazing HERhealthEQ board members and supporters, catch up with friends, attend an art gallery opening, plan a huge book launch in October in Oxford, eat fresh seafood on the beach with friends, and raise some $.

And yes, I am wearing a tin foil crown to protect me from aliens 👽 even though I would prefer if they take me!

Thank you London for a great and highly productive trip!

On Tuesday, Aug. 25, I’ll be at Hummingbird Books for a conversation about Undervalued to Unavoidable.

The premise is simple: women‘s health isn’t a cause to support. It‘s infrastructure worth investing in. I’ll make that case in a moderated conversation before opening it up to your questions.

If you‘re in the Boston area, come with your toughest ones.

RSVP in the link in my bio.

An Evening of Conversation with Marissa Fayer

Big rooms don’t solve problems. People do.

When I was 30 and living in Costa Rica, a friend told me women near her were dying of breast cancer because the one mammography machine had broken. I worked for the largest maker of those machines, but I had no authority to fix this and no idea what I was doing.

I could see the problem and a way to solve it, so I started making calls. A year of figuring it out later, there was a working machine in the hospital in Limón, with a contract to keep it running. That was 2013. It still works.

That’s how HERhealthEQ began. We’ve since reached more than 135,000 women in 12 countries. None of it came from a strategy session. It came from refusing to let one problem go.

You don’t need permission or a perfect plan. You need one problem you can’t walk away from.

Study the female body and the male body finally makes sense. We skipped that step for about a century.

Men, you’re welcome.

On Tuesday, Jessica Shepherd MD MBA FACOG and I sat down together for a conversation in front of a packed room. Afterward, more than one person came up to say the same thing: they didn’t realize they were allowed to do anything here.

That was the room we built in Dallas.

She’s the clinician, working with patients. I’m the operator, working with capital and delivery. We ended up making the same argument: stop calling it women’s health. It’s the health for women.

We need more rooms like that one: filled with people who actually get to decide, not just people who agree.

Dr. Shepherd, thank you for the conversation. And thank you to everyone who walked away asking what they could do instead of what someone else would.

Bday wishes of my own… what I work for every single day. Always grateful for another year around the sun ☀️.

When we plan for generations of health, framing women’s health as infrastructure lays that foundation!

Spectacular packed house book launch event at Tower Capital this week in NYC joined by leaders of industry in emergency response, gendered cardiac care, capital raising, and gendered risk consulting. Plus a video from the World Economic Forum women’s health leader and a discussion on how I got here (hint: I wanted to be an astronaut 🧑🏼‍🚀).

This week, I was reminded that Freedom isn’t something we should take for granted. I went to the DMZ (between North and South Korea 🇰🇷) in the last few days and it’s been hard to process.

The South is free and run democratically, while the North is not. The differences are startling! We weren’t even allowed to take pictures except in designated areas and NONE of them facing towards North Korea. I went into an infiltration tunnel dug by the North Koreans and stood a few feet from North Korea while being monitored and meters underground. All while they deny its existence.

On this 4th of July, I’m grateful for our 250 years of freedom, regardless how imperfect it is.

Last week left me speechless. ❤️

I had the incredible opportunity to attend the “Summer Davos” in Dalian, China, alongside some of the most brilliant people I’ve ever met.

Every conversation challenged me to think differently. I met economists, scientists, founders, innovators, policymakers, and leaders from industries I had never even heard of—and yet we were all asking the same question:

How do we work together to build a better future for humanity?

That was the theme I kept hearing over and over again. The biggest problems in the world won’t be solved by one company, one country, or one industry. They’ll be solved through collaboration.

I’m so honored to be part of the World Economic Forum’s Technology Pioneers Community, and even more grateful to learn from people who constantly push me to think bigger.

I actually love being the least knowledgeable person in the room. That’s where growth happens. That’s where new ideas are born. That’s where you realize how much more is possible.

The next few years are going to challenge me, stretch me, and change me in more ways than one-and I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead.

The world is changing every single day. I can’t wait to help build what’s next.

✨ Onward.
