Series: Don’t Be a Lemming: Bill Reed on Owning Your Learning and the Courage to Think Differently

In this Season 12 episode, Bill Reed — Chief Event Strategy Officer at the American Society of Hematology and past chair of the PCMA Board — makes the case that real growth belongs to those willing to own their learning and challenge the status quo. He shares a discipline inherited from his mentor Georgia Smart: routing torn-out print articles through the office with a sign-off slip, so no one could quietly skim and move on — the kind of “friction” today’s delete-and-scroll habits have stripped away. We talk about why Convene’s honest, human storytelling sets it apart, and his challenge to the next generation: don’t follow the herd over the cliff. Have the courage to be a provocateur.
