#59: The Burnout Breakthrough: How Physicians Can Take Risks, Think Like Entrepreneurs, and Escape the 'If Only' Look" w/ Dr. John Shufeldt
Burnout is everywhere. It's in our board rooms and courtrooms. But now, more than ever, it's also in our operating rooms and emergency rooms. Something has to change.
In this episode, Lon Stroschein sits down with Dr. John Shufeldt — a physician, entrepreneur, attorney, and pilot — to explore his unconventional career journey. From overcoming academic struggles to founding multiple successful ventures, Dr. Shufeldt reveals how curiosity and a mindset of lifelong learning have guided his path--and how he helps others avoid burnout.
Lon and John dig into the unspoken challenges physicians face, including the mental health crisis in medicine and why so many doctors struggle with asking for help. John shares his latest mission to address these issues, including a venture fund to help physicians invest in startups and a screenplay to bring awareness to the pressures of the profession.
Beyond medicine, John talks about his insatiable curiosity—why he pursued law, aviation, and business alongside his medical career—and what keeps him pushing forward. He also shares his quest to avoid forever the "If Only" look of death.
This episode is a wake-up call for high performers who feel trapped in their success and are wondering what’s next.
