You don’t have much control over what gets thrown at you in a day. Not the add-on case, not the EMR, not the call with bad news. So, what can you control? This week we’re breaking down Charles Swindoll’s famous line, “Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it,” and asking what it actually looks like to own the 90% when you’re leading a team, running a clinic, and trying to get home in one piece.

The takeaway is simple, but will make a whole lot of difference in your day-to-day: you control your thoughts and you control your responses - and if you’re managing those two things, you’re doing way better than most.

Today on Not Another Curbside:

• Why the 10% gets all your attention and the 90% gets neglected and how to flip that.
• Why working harder doesn’t change the 10%.
• The three-second pause that buys you more than you think.

You can have fifteen patients tell you what a great job you did, and then one thing goes imperfectly and that’s the memory that follows you home. Sound familiar?

This week we’re unpacking Vince Lombardi’s famous line, “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence,” and what it actually means for a profession that selects perfectionists, then throws up challenges every day. Plus, how can a cornerback mentality help?

Today on Not Another Curbside:

• How tying your identity to your profession makes every bad day feel like a verdict on you as a man.
• The cornerback mentality: why the next play has to be the biggest play.
• Your play for the day - living a flat-line life (better than it sounds).

In our first episode, we lay the groundwork: what this show is, what it isn't, and why the next level of physician performance has nothing to do with clinical knowledge.

If you want to be at your best when there’s a ton going on, this is where to start. We discuss why we truly believe pressure is a privilege, and you’ll learn why nobody curbsides a doctor they don’t respect.

Today on Not Another Curbside:

• How the one thing medical training never covered is the thing we need to master most.
• The difference between response and reaction.
• What we can learn from Jimmy McGinty about keeping calm under pressure.
