Why would a dermatologist ever leave medicine? Isn't this a dream job? In this episode I share my very personal story of how I started out as a dermatologist but ended up leaving medicine - without a Plan B. You'll hear about a time I refer to as "the crash" when things fell apart, and how I forged a new direction, creating the Doctor's Crossing and doing the work I love helping hundreds of physicians with their own careers.

And you'll also hear a funny story about a job I had in a well-known hotel kitchen.
