    On this episode, I had a conversation with Georgi Saucedo, a dear old friend of mine who actually was my co-host on the first podcast I ever did, called Storytime. You can probably still find it wherever you listen to podcasts.

    Embracing Change and Honoring Your Authentic Self featuring Aidan Crowley

    Embracing Change and Honoring Your Authentic Self featuring Aidan Crowley

    On this episode, I had a conversation with Aidan Crowley, someone that I am very honored and lucky to call a friend. She is currently an MD-PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania, and the way she thinks never fails to inspire me. We talk about the concept of “de-differentiation”, or the process of stepping back and considering multiple paths rather than being narrowly focused. We touch on embracing change and being open to new opportunities, and how originality comes from combining different ideas in unique ways.
