4 Years of Growth, Gratitude, and Redefining Success

What started in a basement has brought me all the way to the Eiffel Tower, and this 4-year anniversary episode of Time Out with the SportsDr is about honoring that journey. From setbacks to breakthroughs, every step has been shaped by grace, growth, and community.

This episode unpacks how pain can give birth to purpose and why your professional title should never define your entire identity. Whether you're a doctor, entrepreneur, or leader, you deserve a life that reflects your values. Let’s talk about designing a life of freedom, wealth, impact, and peace.
