  Scaling Legal Services with AI: A Conversation with ThoughtRiver's Jennifer Hill

  Aug 12, 202630 min

  What happens when a corporate attorney with over 20 years of experience decides to lead the charge on AI-powered legal innovation? In this episode, Phil Crowley sits down with Jennifer Hill, CEO of ThoughtRiver — an AI contract review company serving law firms and in-house legal teams. Jennifer brings a rare combination of legal expertise, startup leadership, and deep technology experience, having worked at top firms including Dentons and Gunderson, served as COO and General Counsel of a health tech company through exit, and now leading one of the most forward-thinking legal tech companies in the industry. Jennifer and Phil cover a wide range of topics including how AI is transforming contract review and legal services, why adoption of AI tools is no longer optional for attorneys, what it really takes to build and lead high-performing teams — especially in remote environments — and how grit, resilience, and openness to unexpected ideas are what separate successful entrepreneurs from those who don't make it. She also shares two powerful pieces of advice for technology entrepreneurs: everything takes longer than you expect, and never underestimate the power of the people on your team.

  Navigating Science Translation: From Research to Real-World Applications with Dr. David Perlin

  Jul 14, 202629 min

  What does it actually take to move a scientific discovery from the lab bench to the patient's bedside? In this episode, Phil Crowley sits down with Dr. David Perlin, Chief Scientific Officer and Executive Vice President at the Center for Discovery and Innovation at Hackensack Meridian Health — one of New Jersey's leading health systems. Dr. Perlin is an infectious disease researcher who has spent decades specializing in science translation, turning foundational research into real clinical solutions. Dr. Perlin shares how Hackensack Meridian has built a model that goes far beyond traditional academic research — one that starts with unmet clinical need and brings together academic researchers, industry partners, and clinicians from day one. He walks through real-world examples including their rapid COVID-19 diagnostic program, drug-resistant infection research, and pandemic preparedness work. The conversation also covers how AI is transforming drug discovery and patient monitoring, why early industry partnerships are critical for academic researchers, and what it takes to build solutions that actually reach patients. Dr. Perlin closes with advice for innovators everywhere: be bold, embrace failure as part of the process, and stay laser focused on the solution you're trying to achieve. 🔗 Learn more about Dr. Perlin and the Center for Discovery and Innovation by searching his name online. 📚 Get Phil's book Avoid Startup Failure! on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3UPE1gW
