What you'll discover:
→ How he convinced 125 faculty from 6 continents to volunteer their time for a first-year conference
→ Why he limits talks to 7 minutes and forces surgeons to debate positions they DON'T believe in
→ The blueprint he used to grow OSET from 150 to 1,800 attendees

Kevin's golden principles for innovation:
✅ Create a culture where saying "I was wrong" on stage is celebrated, not feared
✅ Bet on the horse, not the race. People over trends every time
✅ Give young surgeons opportunities even when it's risky (that's how legends are made)
✅ Bring East and West together because American medicine doesn't have all the answers

This conversation is packed with honest insights from someone who's spent 30+ years pushing boundaries, challenging norms, and proving you can always find ways to improve yourself and those around you.
