☕ Coffee Playdate Podcast with Kinsey Soderberg
Kinsey is founder of Authentic AI and co-founder of Her AI Era / Her AI Club, teaching women entrepreneurs to use AI without sounding like a robot.

She was not an early fan. “I don’t need a robot to write my emails.” Then the light went on: AI is not the problem. How humans use it is. Authenticity was already her core value. AI became the through-line.

Sister brand, then a full pivot

She ran her original business for ~five years, launched Authentic AI as a sister brand (trademark, Instagram, SEO), walked her audience over, then let the first brand go.

Partnership origin

She met Joyce Hamilton in The Mixer Mind. Joyce hired her to brand Only Boldly. They co-hosted the first Her AI Era Summit (~3,500 attendees), each launched a membership, then merged into Her AI Club within a month. More success together than either had alone. Women are less likely to take on business partners. They did it anyway.

Mindset

Copying Jenna Kutcher / Amy Porterfield left her exhausted. Showing up as herself made the work feel like play. You do not have to know every AI update. Pick a lane. Be 10% ahead of the people you serve.

Human bits

Surprise Iceland camper-van trip for her husband’s 40th (she cannot keep a secret). BTS birthday shirt for Joyce, who had ChatGPT build a concert study guide.

☕ Coffee Playdate Podcast with Dr. Pradnya Mitroo

Dr. Pradnya Mitroo is a gastroenterologist in Fresno and President of Fresno Digestive Health. She grew up in New Jersey, trained at Mount Sinai and Thomas Jefferson, and built a career around a simple why: her mom lived with GI illness and never got the care she needed — especially as a woman.

She drinks tea, not coffee. Black tea, cardamom, no sugar.

The path
She almost stayed in academics and clinical-trials research. Politics and a lack of impact pushed her west in 2007. She joined a solo GI (rare on the East Coast), grew a largely female patient panel (about 90% women, plus their husbands and sons), then became an owner. The group later consolidated. Her point: independent practice still exists if you treat it as a business.

What she is proud of
Quality at a lower price than hospital-based care. Outpatient ASCs can run about a third of hospital procedure cost. Autonomy beats a hospital job — she says she would leave medicine before she would work for a hospital.

The hard part they never taught
Insurance cuts every year. You have to innovate. Med school taught GI, not how to run a practice. If the practice is not viable, you cannot take care of patients the way you want. Culture is part of that: gratitude journals for staff, first 10 minutes of the day, mini retreats since COVID, reminder that they are not “pushing papers” — they are saving lives. Staff voice = retention. Turnover is expensive.

Advice
Get a mentor. You will not see every pitfall. Failure teaches more than a win.

Book
Who Not How — it is the who, not the how. Extraordinary life is built on extraordinary connections, not only achievements.

☕ Coffee Playdate Podcast with Dr. Boram Han

Dr. Boram Han is back. Internist, obesity-medicine physician, and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner in Boston. She treats menopause and midlife weight together, teaches residents how to prescribe hormone therapy, wrote on midlife weight for the Women for Women anthology, and runs Hormone Lab, a menopause book club for Korean American women.

What we cover

• Perimenopause = fluctuating hormones and symptoms (can last years). Menopause = 12 months after the last period. Postmenopause = the new, more stable chapter.
• Quieter symptoms: joint pain, brain fog, memory worry, anxiety — not only hot flashes.
• Hormone therapy’s, newer evidence is more reassuring for many healthy women closer to menopause (often within ~10 years / under 60).
• Midlife weight: falling estrogen shifts fat from hips/thighs toward visceral belly fat and raises insulin resistance. That is biology, not laziness.

Her advice
Your symptoms are real. You are not crazy. Do not suffer quietly. Start the conversation. If your doctor is uncomfortable, ask for a referral. Use The Menopause Society practitioner directory.

☕ Coffee Playdate Podcast with Amanda Han, CPA

Amanda Han has been a CPA for 25+ years and co-leads Keystone CPA with her husband. Most people find her because their current accountant is reactive. She is not. Her firm works nationwide with investors who want to use real estate, entity structure, retirement planning, and alternative investments to build wealth and pay less tax — legally.

Two myths she hears constantly:

• Tax benefits are only for people with huge portfolios. Not true.
• You have to do real estate full-time. Also not true.

We also talk about:

• How she landed in real estate tax by accident at a Big Four firm
• Why wealthy clients call their CPA before they make decisions
• Writing tax books in plain English instead of code-speak
• Working with her husband (she’s the visionary; he’s the technical filter)
• Hiring before it feels “affordable”
• Looking at out-of-state rentals as investments, not vacation homes
• AI tools like Hospitable and strIQ
• Specializing like a physician instead of being a “do everything” accountant
• The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan

If you are a physician or high earner who keeps saying “I should look at real estate,” this episode is the planning conversation most people never have with their accountant.

Timelines

00:00 – Welcome + pineapple strawberry tea ☕+ Opening games
02:38 – Who Amanda is + Keystone CPA
04:26 – Two big real estate tax myths
06:45 – How she got into this work

13:09 – First property fear + out-of-state investing
14:48 – AI in rentals (Hospitable, strIQ)

☕ Coffee Playdate Podcast with Dr. Steve Moore

In this episode I sit down with Dr. Steve Moore — chiropractor, entrepreneur, and leader at Get Healthy USA / Live Better Longer.

Steve shares his unconventional path: he started pre-med aiming to become an orthopedic surgeon, but a shift toward root-cause care led him to chiropractic school. While studying in Silicon Valley during the dot-com boom, a side hustle with new health technology grew into a multi-million-dollar business — and he never went into traditional practice.

We talk about:

• Why he believes physicians are trained in a way that can actually work against entrepreneurship
• The power of fully committing to goals so your mind looks for solutions instead of excuses
• Key mindset books that helped him push through early doubts (The Greatest Secret in the World by Og Mandino, Think and Grow Rich, The Answer)
• A skin-based technology that measures antioxidant status in 15 seconds and how it’s being used to drive real wellness conversations
• Why most people can’t get optimal nutrition from food alone in today’s food system
• Building a grassroots movement around prevention

☕ Coffee Playdate Podcast with Dr. Junaid Niazi

In this episode I sit down with Dr. Junaid Niazi, double-boarded internist and pediatrician in Minneapolis, physician coach, and creator of the Charting Conquered program.

Junaid shares how his creative side (drawing, music, drums) felt sidelined by medical training, and how discovering coaching during the intense early pandemic years in Minneapolis transformed both his mindset and his career. What started as personal exploration grew into a five-year group coaching program that has helped hundreds of physicians and APPs finish their charts before leaving the clinic.

We talk about:

• Why so many physicians feel uniquely broken by charting
• The hidden mindset beliefs that make notes feel emotionally heavy
• Treating entrepreneurship like a game / escape room so it stays fun
• The danger of being the bottleneck in your own business
• Realistic expectations around AI scribes (they often save less time than people think)
• Why getting imperfect work out into the world beats perfect work that never ships
• Practical advice for physicians starting a side coaching or entrepreneurial path

A grounded, practical conversation for anyone drowning in administrative burden or building something on the side.

☕ Coffee Playdate Podcast with Dr. Alexia Gillen

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Alexia Gillen — board-certified family physician, functional medicine practitioner, and founder of Mosaic Medicine in the Black Hills.

Alexia shares her nonlinear career path: from traditional primary care and urgent care leadership to medical information officer roles (including implementing EPIC), multiple rounds of burnout, and ultimately deciding she could no longer stay in a system that didn’t allow her to care for the whole person. After nearly three years away from direct patient care, she took a leap of faith and opened Mosaic Medicine, a functional and integrative clinic focused on weight, hormone, gut, and autoimmune health.

We talk about:

• The hardest identity shift when leaving traditional medicine
• Why real relationships with patients matter more than pure autonomy
• The financial and emotional reality of the first year in private practice
• Learning to delegate and stop being the “rate-limiting step”
• Simple boundary practices
• The book that helped her believe she was enough to put herself out into the world (Worthy by Jamie Kern Lima)
• Practical advice for physicians thinking about starting their own practice

This is an honest, grounded conversation about burnout, reinvention, and building a practice that finally feels aligned.

06:09 – How the idea for Mosaic was born

☕ Coffee Playdate Podcast with Dr. Jessica Mendelsohn

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jessica Mendelsohn — family physician, Direct Primary Care pioneer, real estate owner, and founder of multiple businesses in Fort Mill, South Carolina.

Jessica shares her journey from a high-volume hospital system and leadership roles to burning out, pivoting into hospice medicine, and then boldly launching a solo DPC practice in 2019 while raising young children. What started with her scrubbing floors and answering phones has grown into a thriving practice, a medspa, real estate ownership, and a team of nearly 30 people.

We dig into:

• Why Direct Primary Care is a true win-win-win for patients, physicians, and communities
• The mindset shifts required to go from clinician to intentional business owner
• Why failure, grit, and humility are essential parts of the entrepreneurial path
• The power of coaching and surrounding yourself with people further ahead
• Why she wishes she had implemented Traction (EOS) earlier

This conversation is honest, grounded, and full of hard-won wisdom for any doctor thinking about ownership and autonomy.
