In this episode of It’s Not Just You, I’m joined by Dr. Bradley Block, a private practice otolaryngologist, podcast host, and physician advocate who’s helping doctors find their voice in public spaces. Dr. Block is passionate about helping clinicians show up boldly and authentically outside the exam room.

Our conversation covers the vulnerability and discomfort that can come with public visibility, especially for physicians who’ve long been told to “just stick to medicine.” We talk about how and why doctors should lean into storytelling, how imposter syndrome shows up when hitting publish, and the power of reclaiming your narrative.

Join us as we discuss:

• What inspired Dr. Block to begin podcasting and why he believes every physician has a story to tell
  
  
• The challenges physicians face when stepping into public platforms
  
  
• Why he believes our credibility is built through honesty—not perfection
  
  
• How physicians can balance vulnerability with professionalism
  
  
• The community he’s building to support others doing this work
  
  

Dr. Block brings humor, humility, and practical advice to this conversation. Whether you’re a seasoned physician or just starting to think about public engagement, you’ll walk away feeling seen, inspired, and maybe even ready to hit record.

You can find Dr. Bradley Block at Physician Guide to Doctoring.

Dr. Melo opens up about the pressures she faced in traditional practice—juggling perfectionism, people-pleasing, and unrealistic expectations—and how she carved a new path. She talks us through the steps she took to leave big-box medicine, the emotional preparation required, and how she found empowerment through coaching and independent practice.

Tune in to hear how Dr. Melo reclaimed her joy in medicine, built a sustainable life on her own terms, and how she helps other physicians do the same.

Dr. Mark Shrime is a surgeon, coach, author, and decision science expert, but his career wasn’t always this aligned. In this episode, he shares how he went from burnout and uncertainty to building a life and practice that reflect his values.

Dr. Shrime opens up about the 10-year journey between his first moment of doubt and finally stepping away from traditional medicine. He talks about the importance of small, consistent steps, and the freedom that comes from realizing most decisions aren’t permanent.

The so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” was passed by both houses of congress and signed into law by the president on July 4th, 2025. This bill will have a sweeping impact on the already declining healthcare landscape in America.

Physicians who view reform not as a threat, but as a catalyst for reinvention, will be best positioned. Those clinging to the old model risk being commoditized; those who adapt, innovate, and lead will reclaim autonomy.

This week, Dr. Pepper reviews seven things every physician needs to be doing in the aftermath of this bill. You are not powerless. What will you do this week to prepare and safeguard your career?
