Tonight’s esteemed guest is Dr. Matt Wooten. Dr. Wooten is one of the 5.4% of physicians who are black. What makes this number astonishing is that this percentage hasn’t changed in a 120 years. We know that blacks make up approximately 13% of the U.S. Population. All numbers that we have to change to increase the diversity of  people serving communities. This is important so that we are capturing voices across various ethnic and socio economic backgrounds.

Throughout this very important conversation tonight we had an opportunity to discuss Dr. Wooten’s journey. The challenges he faced, him second guessing himself, overcoming limiting beliefs. We discussed his upbringing and support system, the resources and guidance his parent provided him that developed his resilience. Both Dr. Wooten and Myself understand our accountability to cultivate environments of belonging for our community to realize that they have the skillset to thrive in any path they choose.

The great Doctor was completely transparent in showing his authentic self, which included sharing his nervousness throughout his journey of medical school and residency. We briefly talked Mental Health, emotional intelligence, spirituality, and physical health and how they are all intricately woven in the fabric of wellness.

Some of the examples shared during the episode was the importance of balance, celebrating the small victories, spending time with others, building relationships with clients, building in time to decompress, providing room and space for customers to have a voice, exposing young people to their interest, and medical opportunities early if they show a desire in that field. Additionally, Dr. Wooten encouraged parents, educators, and guardians to prepare their loved ones for this path by preparing for admission tests, taking biology, honors classes, dual enrollment, building social networks, taking prep courses, looking for scholarships, he prefaced that the MCAP is an important test to prepare for, if you want to be a Doctor. You have the power to be whatever you want! Choose your Path. Our goal is for you to understand that your mind creates the “Freeway to Elevation” which is the Villages podcast focused on cultivating pathways to execution.
