273: [UNICORN] From Burnout to Freedom: How One PA Created Flexibility and Ownership in Healthcare
Are you a PA feeling trapped in the traditional healthcare model, longing for more control over your time and career? You're not alone. In today’s episode, I sit down with Michael Rubio, a dermatology PA turned healthtech innovator, who shares his journey from burnout to breakthrough.
In our interview, Michael reveals how he leveraged technology to create a new healthcare delivery model that benefits both PAs and patients. He discusses:
The three main issues he identified in traditional practice
How he developed a platform that allows PAs to practice with more flexibility, often from home.
The surprising demand for direct-to-patient care models, even in systems with "free" healthcare.
Michael's insights open up a world of possibilities for PAs seeking more autonomy and financial growth. He shares how his model allows for:
Flexible work hours and locations
Increased earning potential through direct patient care
Opportunities for practice ownership and entrepreneurship
A more satisfying way to deliver patient care
But this isn't just about improving life for PAs. Michael explains how this model also enhances the patient experience by providing more convenient, accessible, and timely care. It's a win-win situation that could reshape the future of healthcare delivery.
If you're a PA who's ever dreamed of having more control over your schedule, the ability to work from anywhere, or the opportunity to build your own practice, this episode is a must-listen. Michael's journey proves that it's possible to create a fulfilling career that aligns with your personal goals and values. This episode could be the inspiration you need to take the first step towards your own professional transformation.

272: [LIFE] Time, Money and Energy – Which Do You Value Most?
An episode all about how to cultivate more freedom when it comes to your three most vital resources – your time, money and energy. Inside you’ll find a series of prompts to review if you are wondering what your most valuable commodity is during this time.
I always think about life as a series of seasons, each bringing a different main value to the forefront. In some seasons, money becomes the king, and we’re willing to trade our time for it. In others time is the most valuable thing and still others we value our energy first and foremost.
Press play to discover how to cultivate freedom in your time, money and energy and to determine which of these things you value most during this season.

In today’s world, and definitely in American healthcare, we’re constantly told “more.” See more patients. Fill more roles. Work more hours. Buy more things. Achieve more titles. But when is it enough? In today’s episode, we dive into the topic of “enough.”
Amy Story is a PA who left clinical practice after experiencing burnout. But she soon learned that burnout also exists in non-clinical roles. That’s when she learned that constantly achieving more and earning more is not sustainable. Amy learned how to find her enough by creating boundaries and building community & connection with other healthcare clinicians.
Tune in to hear how we can infuse more hope and humanity into today’s healthcare world. You can find your enough point where you can experience career sustainability, personal happiness, and professional contentment. Building real community with other healthcare clinicians can bring the meaningful connection to your life that you’ve been missing.

Customer Reviews
Excellent resource and information for PAs!
I wish I had found this podcast sooner! As a PA for 23 years I was definitely feeling burnout creeping in. Tracy explains everything that I was feeling and why. She explains how PAs can advocate for themselves and each other, plus has great interviews with other providers who share their knowledge and expertise as well!
Empowering and Informative
Tracy is not only an expert in her field as a healthcare provider, but also in various areas that branch off of that, such as finance, work-life balance, and more. Her podcast is both informative and empowering. As a PA, I had always felt like the field was relatively limiting, but Tracy makes it feel otherwise!
A must listen for all PAs
I have been searching for a podcast that covers medicine from the PA perspective and this took the cake. There is a wealth of knowledge to be gained listening to Tracy and her guests that will be sure to inspire many new grads and seasoned PAs alike. I am looking forward to future episodes and seeing the PA network grow!
