    What if your medical expertise could become the foundation for something you actually own?In this episode of the Better Physician Life Podcast, Dr. Michael Hersh welcomes Dr. Mike Woo-Ming. Having built and sold a seven-figure software company while practicing medicine, Dr. Woo-Ming shares how physicians can explore entrepreneurship, overcome risk aversion, and recognize the value of skills developed through medical training.The conversation explores finding your why, validating business ideas, navigating uncertainty, and building income that isn't entirely tied to clinical hours. Dr. Woo-Ming and Dr. Hersh discuss how entrepreneurship can take different forms, from telemedicine and lifestyle medicine to nonclinical businesses and personal branding. They also highlight the importance of treating yourself as your own CEO and using transferable business skills to create a more sustainable professional life.Three Actionable Takeaways:Identify Your Why Before Building: Entrepreneurship becomes more purposeful when you understand what motivates you. Reflect on the problem you want to solve, the impact you want to create, and why it matters personally. A clear purpose can help you remain committed through uncertainty, slow progress, and the demands of clinical work.Validate Your Business Idea: Before investing significant time and money, examine whether people need and pay for the service you want to offer. Research competitors, identify your audience, and consider how your medical expertise creates differentiation. Start with a practical opportunity rather than assuming every innovative idea will become a viable business.Recognize Your Transferable Skills: Think beyond your identity as an employee or clinician. Develop skills in communication, marketing, leadership, delegation, and managing multiple projects. Whether you launch a business, explore telemedicine, or pursue another professional path, these abilities can support greater flexibility and more intentional career decisions.About the Show:Created for physicians who want more than clinical competence, Better Physician Life is a space for honest reflection, reinvention, and reclaiming purpose beyond the pager.

  • When Physicians Stop Feeling Respected: The Loss of Autonomy in Medicine | Ep66

    When Physicians Stop Feeling Respected: The Loss of Autonomy in Medicine | Ep66
    2026/11/02
    What happens when you're still responsible for everything in medicine, but have less control over almost anything surrounding it?In this episode of the Better Physician Life Podcast, Dr. Michael Hersh examines how physicians have shifted from directing their clinical environments to being managed by schedules, productivity metrics, staffing grids, and administrative expectations. He explores the gradual loss of autonomy, the emotional toll of constantly compensating for system gaps, and the frustration of having years of clinical judgment reduced to numbers.Drawing from personal observations and experiences working with physicians, Dr. Hersh discusses the cost of becoming indispensable without gaining greater control. He encourages doctors to distinguish responsibility from obligation, examine what medicine is costing them, and consider practical career decisions involving workload, compensation, call schedules, and retirement. The episode offers a thoughtful invitation to reassess what you are willing to let the system run in your life.Three Actionable Takeaways:Recognize the Cost of Reduced Autonomy: Physicians can remain accountable for outcomes while having less influence over their working environments. Notice how staffing changes, metrics, and administrative demands affect your daily practice. Identify one recurring frustration and consider whether it requires action, acceptance, or a conversation about meaningful change.Stop Confusing Being Indispensable with Having Control: Working harder and continuously closing system gaps may increase your value without improving your autonomy. Examine the extra responsibilities you routinely absorb. Ask whether they are sustainable, genuinely necessary, or simply expected because you have consistently made yourself available.Make Intentional Decisions About Your Career: You don't need to immediately leave medicine or develop a five-year plan. Review your workload, call schedule, compensation, and personal priorities. Have an honest conversation about what would need to change for your career to work better, and explore the options available to you.About the Show:Created for physicians who want more than clinical competence, Better Physician Life is a space for honest reflection, reinvention, and reclaiming purpose beyond the pager.

  • Your Attention Is Being Stolen: Why Physicians Feel Mentally Exhausted Even After an Easy Clinic Day | Ep65

    Your Attention Is Being Stolen: Why Physicians Feel Mentally Exhausted Even After an Easy Clinic Day | Ep65
    2026/10/26
    You can finish a clinic day that wasn’t particularly busy and still feel completely drained. Not physically tired, mentally spent. Sometimes the drain starts long before the first patient walks in. In this episode of Better Physician Life, Dr. Michael Hersh turns his focus to attention: the limited resource physicians spend more freely than almost any other. He examines how headlines, online physician groups, productivity dashboards, market updates, and endless predictions about the future of medicine quietly occupy mental bandwidth long after the screen is closed. Drawing on the observation that power today may lie in knowing what to ignore, Dr. Hersh distinguishes being informed from being continuously immersed. He explores how attention compounds like money; small deposits and small withdrawals both add up, and why the things that matter most (patients, family, health) are often the least aggressive about demanding it. This episode is not a call to disconnect completely. It invites you to notice where your attention is actually going, ask whether it deserves to be there, and begin treating this finite resource with the same care physicians already apply to medications, patient safety, and protected health information. Three Actionable Takeaways: Distinguish Useful from Interesting: Useful information leads to action. Interesting information often just feels urgent. If you cannot do anything with it today, it may not deserve another hour of your attention.Ask Who Benefits: When you notice yourself continuing to engage with a headline, thread, or dashboard, pause and ask: Who benefits from me continuing to pay attention to this? The answer is often not you, your patients, or your family.End the Day with One Question: Before plugging in your phone, ask: “Did the things that got most of my attention today actually deserve it?” No tracking required. Simply noticing begins to change what you choose tomorrow.
