Show Notes
Randy Olson, a lone ophthalmologist, transformed the University of Utah into the renowned John A. Moran Eye Center over four decades. With no initial funding, he cold-called the school, attracted top talent, and secured donations, including a $3 million pledge from John Moran. Despite personal challenges, such as his sons battle with cancer, Olson persevered, pioneering quick outpatient cataract surgery and expanding the center to a top-ten national rank with global outreach. Now, hes passing the torch to Dr. Jeff Pettey, with phase two gene therapy for macular degeneration on the horizon.
