Season 3 of the smash hit FX/Hulu show “The Bear” roared to life just days ago, but Will Poulter (the actor who plays fan-favorite Luca) and 2014 F&W Best New Chef Dave Beran had been prepping for weeks. Poulter — like his co-star Jeremy Allen White — staged with Beran at his Santa Monica restaurant Pasjoli to learn how to accurately portray a professional chef onscreen. The lessons went so well, Beran says he’d hire Poulter as a cook — even despite a messy mishap with a pastry bag. The two dished all about getting kitchen culture right on and offscreen, what it takes to be at the top of your craft, and the pure magic of a great restaurant service.

In this episode of Medsider Radio , we sat down with Mike Dineen , co-founder and CEO of Tioga Cardiovascular , a Shifamed portfolio company. Tioga is developing a minimally invasive transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) device to address mitral regurgitation (MR) - a condition where blood flows backward into the heart, often causing heart failure. Mike has 30 years of experience in leading and scaling innovative medical device startups, and is co-inventor on more than 65 patents. His track record encompasses leadership roles at Kalila Medical (acquired by Abbott and later divested to Terumo), Maya Medical (acquired by Covidien), and Aspire Medical (acquired by Philips/Respironics). In this interview, Mike discusses why engaging with physicians early is essential and what he prioritizes in those conversations, the importance of pushing for early pre-clinical testing and how to best approach it, and his strategy for raising capital by targeting early-stage investors with a clear, exit-focused plan.
