Customer Reviews
Impactful!
As a mental health advocate, clinician, and speaker, this podcast is encouraging, and also a masterful weaving of knowledge and compassion on the topic of healthcare disparity…yet the solution focus is my favorite and more of what our world needs!
“First of all, servants of all …”
Outstanding. This podcast is not only excellent and relevant … but actionable. This was a masterful stroke, having an Educator discuss how we as Physicians (or, anyone in healthcare or any other discipline) can make that impact at ANY level of engagement/involvement.
The importance of including how mentorship is not just about aspiration but representation (seeing — even IMAGINING —someone who looks like you who’s doing what you may want to do) cannot be overstated. Kudos, Greg; as always, job well done.
Servant Leaders
This podcast reveals the hearts and minds of men with great character who happen to be physicians. It takes courage to be vulnerable, to talk about hard things and to be a model of possibility providing care and compassion equally to all human beings- I have been a huge fan and now have an additional avenue to share some of what makes being a Sound physician different. Thank you Drs for leading the way for many who continue to seek to understand and lead with compassion. Bravo!
