Ep. 048 Alfred Poor, PhD - Health Tech Futurist
/🎙️ Be Nicer, Be Intentional, Leave It Better with Alfred Poor
In this episode, I talk with Alfred Poor — Health Tech Innovator, writer, speaker, mentor, and lifelong entrepreneur — about what happens when your values become your compass for life and work. From international childhood experiences to building a career based on clarity and service, Alfred shares stories and truths that are simple… but never simplistic.
This is a conversation about how small ideas like “be a little nicer” can ripple out to shape the way we treat each other, the way we lead, and the way we show up.
In this episode, we explore:
🌍 How living in India as a teen shaped Alfred’s lifelong worldview
đź“š The moment 9th-grade comparative religion became a lifelong framework
✨ “Be nicer” and “leave it better than you found it” — two deceptively simple guiding values
🧠How Quaker philosophy helped him define worth, dignity, and belonging
🤝 The mindset of service: doing things for others with no expectation of return
💼 What trust has to do with business — and why values-alignment builds loyalty
🔄 Why intention, not just action, is the foundation of authenticity
💬 His entrepreneurial truth: “Choosing not to make a choice… is still a choice.”
Alfred reminds us that our legacy isn’t built all at once — it’s built in small, daily acts of integrity, clarity, and compassion.
