Need something new to listen to on your commute? Want to speed your understanding of a complicated industry at the same time?

King of Prussia-headquartered advocacy group Life Sciences Pennsylvania has you covered with its podcast, “Being a Life Sciences Leader,” which released the first episode of its new season on Wednesday.

Chris Molineaux, Life Sciences PA president and CEO, and Rachael Bushey, life sciences partner and co-managing partner of the Philadelphia office at Goodwin Proctor, returned for a fourth season as the podcast’s hosts to chat with leaders in the life sciences field about their experiences in and opinions of the industry.

Launched in May 2022, the podcast covers professional experiences in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices diagnostics and other life sciences services to give a wide viewpoint of the industry.

Some past guests of the podcast include:

• Doug Manion, president and CEO of Aclaris Therapeutics
• Brian Halak, managing partner of Medical Excellence Capital
• Tom Anderson, CEO and director of SwanBio Therapeutics
• John Furey, CEO of Imvax
• Joe Truitt, CEO of iECURE
• Phil Johnson, CEO of Interius Biotherapeutics
• Maureen Mulvilhill, president and CEO of Actuated Medical
• Lake Paul, founder and president of BioAnalysis

The latest episode features Jeffrey Dayno, president and CEO of Harmony Biosciences, who talked about his career journey and moving from academia to an industry position.

“If I knew 10 years ago what I knew today, is that I had all the abilities and learned a lot in terms of being able to step up into the CEO role,” Dayno said on the podcast. “I had been approached over the years [but] I guess was maybe a bit too comfortable in the chief medical officer role … not realizing that I had all the skills and that I was learning along the way.”

Listen to Dayno and other professionals talk about their experiences every other Wednesday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or the Life Sciences PA website.
