I was a burned-out multi-million-dollar single specialty (general surgery) practice owner.

Through the years and with increasing corporate takeover, I became overwhelmed, burned, out, and unfulfilled.

I gave the best years of my life to medicine, but freedom came when I realized it was time to move on.

Then I discovered that suffering is optional.

I learned how to continue to be a high performer, but without the overwhelm and burnout.

As I discovered this, people started asking me how to end suffering, burnout, and exhaustion yet still maintain a high level of performance.

This has been my pivot.

I'm living in alignment with my values without having to worry about whether a health care conglomerate agrees with my clinical decisions or if I fit in the box a hospital made for their procedure-based doctors.

Freedom came when I realized I had a choice.

Now I show others how to live at the highest level in alignment with their values.

Every day is a great day.

Suffering is optional.
