#57: The Judgement: A Doctor's Courage to Take Back His Life. A Ramble with Dr. Adam Goodcoff


Listen Later

You did everything right. You put in the years, made the sacrifices, and built a career most people admire. But now, there's a feeling you can't shake—one that whispers there's something more for you. But there you sit...waiting.

Judgment starts at the moment you even consider doing something new or more. From colleagues, from society, from that inner voice that says, you should just be grateful for what you already have.

The self-judgement that leads to the guilt of having so much and then the shame of feeling so little. 

This is your podcast. 

In this episode, Lon Stroschein sits with Dr. Adam Goodcoff, an ER physician turned social media influencer and entrepreneur. Dr. Goodcoff shares his unique path from traditional medicine to becoming the founder of Medfluencers, a platform revolutionizing how healthcare professionals engage with social media and the digital space.

He reflects on the critical moments that defined his life, including overcoming fear, defying expectations, and creating a career that combines his passions for medicine, education, and innovation.

In a candid conversation with Lon, Dr. Goodcoff discusses the challenges of juggling a grueling medical residency with building a social media presence that now reaches millions. 

Together, they tackle the universal struggle of breaking free from societal expectations, the fear of looking irresponsible, and the courage it takes to act on your instincts.

Key Takeaways
  • Act on Your Instincts. If you wait until you're "ready," you may never begin. Start small and adjust as you go.
  • The Power of Saying Yes: Even when the timing seems off, leaning into opportunities can lead to unexpected growth.
  • Redefining Success: Success doesn't have to follow the rules. Dr. Goodcoff's journey shows that traditional career paths can be redesigned to fit your passions and goals.
  • Educate, Don't Sell: As a leader in healthcare social media, Adam highlights the importance of using platforms to educate rather than promote—helping others without compromising integrity.
  • Overcome the Guilt of Change: Transitioning to a new chapter might feel irresponsible, but sometimes the riskiest move is staying where you are.
