What’s good everyone…

My apologies for the short break in the beginning of the month. Check out the beginning of this episode to find out what happened.

On this episode, I’m chopping it up with Dr. Cedric Dark, the Founder and Executive Editor of Policy Prescriptions. Think of Policy Prescriptions as a cliff notes version of health policy research so that lawmakers can make bills based off actual evidence-based studies. Now at this for well over 10 years, Dr. Dark got his start while interning in Washington, D.C. and learning how much policymakers relied on politics and ideology.

Not only will you learn more about Cedric, but you’ll also get a civics lesson on exactly how health policy bills on funded on a federal level. For those who want to get more on the front lines of advocacy, especially with social media – this episode is for you!

 

Things you’ll learn in this episode:

• How he developed in interest in Emergency Medicine
• What people in Washington, D.C. think about physicians
• His advice for clinicians looking to get into public advocacy
• How he answers #imnotjustadoc

 

Resources mentioned in this episode:

Policy Prescriptions

Mazie Foundation

The Oregon Health Insurance Experiment

Things get real for me on this episode. I’m in the hotseat as Dr. Renee interviews the “Doc Outside the Box.” Starting late last year, I doubled down on clinical work. This included late hours, additional travel, and time away from my family. The show went on in terms of the podcast, but there have been potholes along the way. We’re going to cover everything from my decision to work more all to the opportunity costs I incurred due to that decision.

 

Themes covered:

• I don’t want my career to ruin my life
• What are opportunity costs
• Growth vs fixed mindset
• Worry about what others think

One of the biggest challenges I face with being an entrepreneur is learning how to not be too focused on the minute details of my businesses. This is easier said than done, because, it involves creating systems and automation – things we definitely never learned in medical school.

Sheryl (my amazing assistant) is jumping on the mic to share the tools she uses that helps me to scale my business ventures. This is a fun conversation, so listen up and take notes!!
