Summary
Dr Mitch Kaye is not a conventional physician. As a urologist and owner of East Valley Urology Center, pharmaceutical researcher, cofounder of the SilverLeaf Media Group in Scottsdale, film studio founder, and creator of a dry eye solution, his work spans medicine, business, and media—while his personal pursuits take him to the world’s most demanding peaks, including Kilimanjaro and K2. In this conversation, we explore the intersection of clinical rigor, entrepreneurial risk-taking, and extreme adventure. Dr. Kaye shares lessons from high-altitude expeditions, insights from pharmaceutical innovation, and how ventures like Kaiser and Trix fit into a broader vision of impact and leadership. This episode is about pushing limits—physically, professionally, and intellectually.
