In this impactful episode of the My Life in Action Podcast, Fireman Rob sits down with Craig Gaffin, President of Orthopaedics at Smith+Nephew, to talk about leadership, resilience, and the personal journey that reshaped his perspective on joint health.
Craig shares his story—not only as a global healthcare leader driving innovation in orthopaedics, but also as a joint replacement recipient himself. Experiencing surgery and recovery firsthand gave him a deeper understanding of what patients go through physically and emotionally. That lived experience now fuels his passion for advancing technologies and improving outcomes for people around the world.
Together, Craig and Rob explore what it means to lead with empathy, how personal health challenges can strengthen leadership, and why taking action early can change the trajectory of your life.
This episode is about perspective, purpose, and the power of movement—both in business and in life.
