Today's episode is quite special to me.  The interview is basically education coming full circle.  

Our guest today is a former student, but now, possibly a future mentor or at least a peer that will be paving a new path in the startup world in the health sector.  I taught our guest as a young student in Busan, South Korea (the second largest city in the country) many years ago.  I had no idea  he was really listening, but funny enough, he was one of the best listeners that I had.  He listened so well, he took his respect for his instructors to a high level and leveraged it into the most competitive University in the United States.  

Mr. Jin Woo Yu is now a graduate of Stanford University with a degree in Computer Science -- which btw, is one of the hardest programs to get into any University these days, on top of being in the most selective University in the U.S., if not the world (if you use the statistics that are publicly available).  He's also obtaining his MS in Science & Engineering, which he didn't even tell me, but I had to find out via a quick scan of his LinkedIn profile.

And today, he's Co-founder with 3 other Stanford grads of Prairie Health, a leading Mental Health Startup based in the Bay Area.
