Series 5 | Episode 2 | What if health went viral?
If Taylor Swift wears a new belt to lunch with Travis Kelce today, it is sold out tomorrow. If we could motivate that same level of reliably responsive behaviour in our community around healthy behaviours, surely, we could significantly impact the creation of a healthier population.
