Neil's remarkable career journey is a testament to the power of asking the right questions and uncovering hidden truths. He conquered three demanding fields – Wall Street financial analyst where he rose to #1 in his industry, world-class investor, and criminal justice reformer – all by wielding the power of disciplined investigative journalism.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How Neil Barsky's founding vision for The Marshall Project exposed injustices. We delve into Neil's experience founding The Marshall Project, a non-partisan and non-profit journalism organization dedicated to finding truths within the U.S. criminal justice system. You'll learn how Neil, with no prior experience in the field, identified key issues obscured by the public's limited view of the system. The conversation explores how The Marshall Project's work, by uncovering inhumane conditions and prosecutorial misconduct, has led to positive changes in laws, regulations, and prison operations.

• Why Neil believes a similar approach is needed in healthcare, particularly regarding the Type II diabetes epidemic. The interview explores Neil's personal experience with Type II diabetes and his subsequent discovery of inconsistencies between the advice he found from reliable sources and readily available scientific information. This sparked his passion for investigating the complexities of the healthcare system, particularly regarding diabetes treatment, cure and prevention.

• His new investigative series for The Guardian, "Death by Diabetes: America's Preventable Epidemic." We discuss Neil's new series (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/series/death-by-diabetes--america-s-preventable-epidemic), which delves into the effectiveness of current and potential treatments for Type II diabetes, along with its complications.

• Exposing truth is one thing, acceptance is another. The interview explores the challenges of media fragmentation in fostering a shared understanding of truth and how this can hinder progress on important issues.

Neil's story is a beacon of hope. He demonstrates that with the right approach, even seemingly intractable problems can be tackled and improved.
