On this episode, we get to hear from newly minted Dr. Wendell Cole. That’s right! The same Wendell Cole from Episode 55 who contacted me out of the blue while I was down in Atlanta for a conference. I interviewed him literally hours before he starts his first day as an orthopedic surgery resident at Tulane University.

This time we’re talking about all the ways in which he’s a doc outside the box. He’s a triple threat – we’re talking physician, podcaster, and now a Best Selling Author with his book called The Med School Survival Kit – How To Breeze Through Med School While Crushing Your Exams. What’s even more impressive, he accomplished the majority of this while he was a medical student!

Things to pick up in this episode:

• Learn about his background and why this drives him to be as diversified as possible
• The biggest lesson he’s learned from failing
• How acknowledging his weakness has made his more productive
• His quick tips for writing a book
• How he answers #imnotjustadoc

Becoming a doctor is a pretty tough feat. Then the actual practice of a doctor is no walk in the park also. I know I’m stating the obvious, but have you ever wanted to know what life is like in other professions. I’ll raise my hand first to that.

Ever wanted to know what life in Hollywood is like? Although it’s not life or death like medicine, it’s still stressful and to some – cutthroat.

After listening to my next guest you’re going to learn about the resiliency needed to survive the glam, fame, and rejection in Hollywood. My next guest is Dr. Zoanne Clack and she is executive producer of Grey’s Anatomy. She’s been writing for the show for 14 years now and enjoying the fruits of her labor.  Hopefully, after this interview, you’ll learn the many layers to Dr. Clack.

Things you’ll learn in this episode:

• How hitting her lowest point gave her the drive to go after her dreams
• How she dealt with multiple failures
• What’s it like working with Shonda Rhimes
• Her quick tips to make it in Hollywood
• How she answers #Imnotjustadoc

Okay it’s not exactly 5 minutes, but it’s pretty close. I recently went to visit The Physician CEO program at the Kellogg School of Management (Northwestern University) to get a deeper understanding. Got a chance to meet highly motivated students and world-renown faculty.

The program gave me an opportunity to speak to the students about my podcast and what the power of podcasting can do for their respective practices. They asked great questions, but one question on business and DOTB is something I stumbled on.

What I wasn’t expecting, but very appreciative of, was a mindset critique session with Dr. Guy Kezirian (Chairperson of Physician CEO). As you all know, I like to keep it 100% – so I recorded this session and decided to share with you. Hope you all learn about the power of embracing your passion and not being afraid to monetize it.

On this episode you’ll hear from Dr. Carrie Reynolds – host of the Hippocratic Hustle podcast. It’s a podcast that features women physicians finding freedom in life, work, and finances. I’m a fan of her show and think you should give it a listen. You can find her show on your favorite podcast directory.

Dr. Carrie recently decided to leave the employed physician game and enter the world of locum tenems. More importantly, she takes us through the ups and downs of that decision. By the end of this episode you’ll feel like a fly on the wall when she was making these crucial decisions.

Definitely a must listen!

Things you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why she decided to work locums
• What her “number” was to justify leaving her employed position
• 5 tips I shared with Dr. Carrie that will help her minimize taxes

Resources Featured in This Show:

• Living a Locums Life with Cheri Wiggins
• Physician Side Gigs FB group

I know I left you all hanging for 2 weeks. There are a lot of changes going on in the background for Docs Outside the Box.

I always encourage listeners to submit questions to me. It’s much easier to answer these questions through the podcast and that’s what I did for this episode. A valued listener submitted the following question:

Hi Dr Darko, love these podcast. Such amazing information for residents since this is all information that you have to learn on your own. So greatfull. I wanted to your opinion. I am a 3rd year neurology resident and thinking ahead as I prepare to lay down my loans and start working. What do you think about the public service loan forgiveness plan over the 10 year period?

Also I know you guys cancelled your disability insurance and down graded with better prices with set for life insurance. As a resident would it be wise to forego disability insurance until the absolute end of fellowship or should I purchase now as a resident? Thanks again. Much appreciated.

Physician on Fire and Jamie Fleischner (Set for Life Insurance) helped answer this resident’s question. Take a listen!
