What happens when life takes you way off the path you thought you were on? That’s exactly what we unpack in my latest episode with Cory Blumenfeld — a guy who was supposed to be a doctor… but ended up building a successful startup instead. Spoiler: his story isn’t your typical “left med school, built an app” narrative. It’s a deep dive into growth, identity, and redefining what success really means.

In our conversation, Cory shares the raw, unfiltered lessons he learned from separating his personal identity from his business identity, how letting go of control became his ultimate growth hack, and why cold, hard data should always outrank emotional drama when making big business decisions. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a career pivot-er, or just someone figuring out your next chapter — his insights hit hard.

This episode is full of aha moments, practical mindset shifts, and the kind of candid advice you wish someone told you sooner. One of my favorite takeaways? “Every day is a journey, a story.” You’re gonna want to hear the rest.
