Open Book, No BS (ft. Israel Krush)

About this episode

Israel Krush discusses his journey as CEO of Hyro and the lessons learned in responsibility and strategic opportunism.

Israel Krush is the CEO and Co-Founder of Hyro, the responsible AI agent platform used by dozens of the largest US health systems to safely automate millions of patient interactions. In this episode of DGTL Voices, Israel tells Ed how mandatory military service at 18 reshaped his sense of responsibility, why his parents' insistence on eight extracurriculars was unintentional CEO training, and how Hyro shifted from a general AI agent company to an all-in healthcare bet. Along the way: the case for being strategically opportunistic, why "open book, no BS" is a way of operating rather than a slogan, and the lesson he learned the hard way about thinking before speaking. 🔗 https://marxadvisory.com
