Dr Michael Mol
Michael didn’t go for career counselling, which might explain why he’s a medical doctor, an executive producer & presenter, a health-tech entrepreneur (co-founder of Hello Doctor), a global speaker, consultant, author and most recently CEO of TruthTV. A trauma doctor turned TV presenter, Michael traded the emergency room for the small screen and co-anchored Top Billing for over a decade, scooping up several critically acclaimed awards along the way.
He then melded his passion for medicine and media and produced two TV series: “Hello Doctor” and “The Dr. Mol Show.” Watched by over a million people weekly, the show not only edutained its audience on health and wellbeing but was part of a bigger vision to give every South African access to personal, affordable, and quality healthcare through immediate access to doctors via their mobile phones. That vision became a reality with “HelloDoctor” – SA’s first mobile digital telehealth company, giving everyone access to a doctor, anytime, anywhere, on any phone, in any South African language.
After exiting HelloDoctor he launched a new venture called TruthTV – South Africa’s first subscription video-on-demand service focusing exclusively on Faith and Family entertainment with a vision to rekindle wholesome societal values.
Michael is an Oxford Alumni, a South African Brand ambassador, and the author of “Apples of Gold” – his second book on health and wellbeing on the back of his first best-seller “Your Best Life.” He speaks to audiences worldwide and has been recognized as one of South Africa’s top business speakers with a Hall of Fame distinction.
