it it's a great book and i i've not read all of it yet but i've started it and you've got some great personal stories and and can you kind of you know we talked about uh there's kind of three chapters uh that were kind of breaking down your kind of your life story and lessons learned uh that encourage people to pick up the the book to get kind of more in depth but uh love to have you kind of start out with kind of a thing that really made an impact on your life, that first chapter that gave you maybe a pause to think about life and purpose?

Sure.

I'll start by saying I'm a doctor, but I grew up never wanting to be a doctor.

I wanted to be a linguist.

I wanted to be a rock star.

I wanted to be a philosopher.

I wanted to be all sorts of things besides medicine.

So are there other books that you would recommend that have had impact on you and your life and around purpose and anything that you would recommend to other leaders?

[laughs]

Um, so I became a doctor and, uh, I, I hated it.

I hated med school.

Um, I, I nearly quit med school after, um, after my first year.

Came back, didn't quit, came back, did my residency, hated my residency, and then did my fellowship.

All this is to say, at the end of that, after sort of 15 years of pursuing something that I hated, was the first time that I went and I worked on a hospital ship in Liberia.

Um, and there was a lot of things that happened in that, in that six months.

Yeah
