This episode was recorded in Sept 2022 with my high school friend Dr. David Deyhimy, an anesthesiologist who specializes in addiction medicine. He's Founder and Medical Director of MyMATClinic and also practices in private practice as an anesthesiologist in Orange County, CA. We walk through his career path as I do with all of my MENTOR dna guests. We also spend some time discussing opioid usage disorder, more commonly known as opioid addiction.
Dr. Deyhimy got into medical school and thrived. As a thoracic anesthesiologist, he earned his spot as chief resident and moved his young family to start life in private practice. After a few years, Dr. Deyhimy was making great money but was stumped as to why he wasn't feeling fulfilled. He realized that his day-to-day grind wasn't totally aligned with what really drove him to be a doctor. He wanted to do more.
During a late night in the pperating room with a nurse friend, he listened to her chat about her son's heroin addiction and the medications he was using to stay sober. Dr. Deyhimy's interest was piqued.
His research led to studying the neuroscience of addiction. Brain chemistry and connections change, quickly transforming people from being casual users to those who will do anything to simply feel "ok."
Sadly, the illicit drug distribution landscape has changed dramatically in the past 5 years, so Dr. Deyhimy walks us through how to prepare to keep our family and friends safe from the recreational drugs that are almost all laced with fentanyl.
Dr. Deyhimy is an incredible leader in the addiction medicine space and we also chat about how a slight change in mindset can take a seemingly bad experience into one that unlocks tremendous learning and growth.

Confident. Striking. Caring. Expert. These are words that come to mind when describing Kristin Halton, a leading residential real estate broker in the US. Her 6' stature, paired with her striking blue eyes and platinum hair can throw you off, but don't let it. She's sharp, driven, hard working, and cares for her clients. She's built a team which now leads the US as one of Douglas Elliman's 1% top producers.
Kristin hails from the Pacific Northwest, worked her way through high school and college, then found herself traversing the United Sales training fitness facilities on how to open and run their businesses. By the time she reached Cincinnati, she'd opened a coffee shop, had her own personal training business, and continued consulting to fitness center operators. But she was cold and knew that Cincinnati wasn't the place she wanted to stay.
On a whim, she took a mid-winter flight to vacation in Newport Beach and within 3 months, divested her businesses in Cincinnati and moved to start a career in real estate. 22 years later, Kristin and her team are recognized in the top 1% of residential real estate producers in the U.S.

Danny Sonenshine is the founder and CEO of Far West Services, the developers and operators of Wingstop restaurants on the west coast, as well as a developer and operator of Dunkin Donuts in Southern California. He had me at doughnuts! We chat about his undergrad days where he wasn't sure what he wanted to do, which led to law school and then a job at a law firm, which he disliked from day 1. He married his college sweetheart and she's been his cheerleader all along, encouraging him to try something different than being a lawyer.
So, 5 years later, with no restaurant experience, Danny joined his dad into the world of franchise restaurants. And he didn't just traipse into a business that was already stood up. Danny had to get dirty and have patience. He learned everything from cleaning toilets to supply chain management, but the biggest lesson he's learned comes from his days at the law firm.
Danny has learned a ton about what it takes to be an entrepreneur and shares his advice and stories, one which includes standing up for himself by telling off a landlord, thereby earning his respect.
