This week, Jo Watkins, co-founder of The HOW People, joins us to explore entrepreneurial possibilities for doctors without leaving their day jobs. We talk about what holds us back from pursuing a business idea and how you can get started on this journey. We also discuss honing the transferable skills you already have to discover what you'd like to try.

If you want to start doing something different in your life and career, listen to our full conversation in this episode of You Are Not a Frog.

Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:

1. Discover your 'why' in life and business.
2. Understand why you learn most by failing.
3. Recognise and hone your transferable skills as a professional and entrepreneur.
