Overcoming the Fear of Failure with Sports Medicine Physician Veronica Jow Madam Athlete

    • Carreiras

On today’s episode, I’m talking to sports medicine physician Dr. Veronica Jow about overcoming the fear of failure.

Veronica is the founder of Avid Sports Medicine, a multi-disciplinary sports medicine clinic in the Bay Area. She’s working together with her team at Avid to help patients live healthier and more active lives. Before opening her own practice, Veronica worked as an employed physician and as the medical director for a medical tech start-up. Veronica’s taken the lessons she’s learned from the business and tech worlds to pivot quickly when something’s not working instead of going further in the wrong direction. 

We talk about:
How commonly people switch directions in careers outside of medicine and how this is celebrated rather than discouraged.When Veronica took a job as a medical director for a start-up, she viewed it as a “residency for business” and knew that she would learn, regardless of the outcome of the start-up.Veronica is not letting the fear of failure prevent her from expanding the model of her current practice to a wider audience. You can find the show notes and more resources at https://madamathlete.com
