Dr. Berry Pierre on Main Character Energy, 2k YouTube Vids & Trust in Healthcare | Pharma Prescribed
Dr. Berry Pierre — board certified internist, host of the Lunch and Learn Podcast and digital health educator with over 2,000 YouTube videos — joins Adam Walker for one of the most energising conversations on the Pharma Prescribed Podcast.
Dr. Berry grew up in a Haitian community in the US, inspired by his childhood paediatrician Dr. Gasstone — the community physician who spoke their language and their truth. He decided at elementary school he wanted to be a doctor, never had a plan B, and never looked back. Fifteen years into clinical practice, he realised he couldn't help the whole community one patient at a time — so he started going live on Facebook during his lunch hour, twice a week, and built a digital health empire from there.
His golden rule: be trustworthy, be responsible, and add a pinch of confidence.
