"I think it's a generational thing- but I know that I'm never going to regret making a little bit less money so that I can experience life. If you make all this money and you don't have the time to spend it or don't have anyone to spend it with, it's not worth it." - Dr. Evan Sands
All of these episodes were supposed to be 10 minute conversations, that quickly turned into 25 minute conversations and I'm now wishing they were each an hour. Especially this one!
Once again we dive into what success means to people of all ages and professions. This episode features Evan Sands, an ER doc in Los Angeles. Evan has a very fresh perspective on success within his career that I think a lot of people in the medical profession could benefit from hearing. In this episode we touch on:
his love for the ocean & why
what he currently feels the most success in
the open-ness within his family and how it has cultivated a successful family dynamic
the importance of communicating authentically and without judgment with those closest to you
the importance of therapy within a relationships
"knowing when you need help and recognizing when the bullshit in your brain is not correct"
people's inability to work through problems nowadays simply because the next person is just a swipe away
the importance of laughter and humor within a relationship
a simplistic home life
success within the E.R- a story about a recent patient
the rate of CPR actually working
his experience with asking patients in the ICU what advice they would give to a single 33 year old man & their answers
generational differences in work/life balance
having to build yourself up again after enduring medical trainingHuge thank you to Evan for letting us in on a little bit of his life within the E.R and how he relates to success. If anyone has any questions for him- let me know and I'll forward them over! I'm sure we will hear from him again!
