This is an episode about optimization, opportunity, overwhelm, and discovering the why  for which we do the things that we do.

It was such a pleasure to be joined for this episode by Dr. Bradley Block, a private practice otolaryngologist based in Long Island, NY, and the creator of the Physician's Guide to Doctoring Podcast. 

Shortly after starting his tenure at ENT and Allergy Associates, he realized that rapport was the key to gaining trust, seeing patients efficiently, enjoying his practice, and building his reputation. He tried to find a podcast that would help his improve at doctor-patient communication, but he came up blank, so he created Physician's Guide to Doctoring. His podcast focuses on topics that we, as physicians "should have been learning instead of memorizing the Kreb's Cycle," at it serves as a practical guide for physicians and other health professionals alike.

In this episode, we talk about how his introduction to the concept of "social engineering" helped him to optimize his medical practice and planted the seeds for his podcast. We also get into the moments of "whelm" and "overwhelm" that he has experienced throughout his career as a result of the seemingly endless sea of opportunities that cross the paths of physician entrepreneurs. And we round the episode out by talking about how he has learned (or is still learning) to manage the overwhelm while staying true to what is important to him.
