In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I share a story from early in my career when I sublet out of two clinics and thought I was being smart by “hedging my bets.” What actually happened was predictable: split focus, slow growth, wasted energy, and no real momentum.

I unpack why trying to keep all your options open feels safe but is one of the most expensive mistakes practitioners make, especially when building a practice.

Indecision drains your attention, and attention is your most valuable asset. I explain why the cost of the wrong decision is almost always lower than the cost of no decision, how fear disguises itself as responsibility, and why committing to one direction is often the fastest way forward.

If you’re stuck juggling locations, ideas, or contingencies and wondering why nothing is clicking, this episode will help you understand what’s really holding you back.

In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I talk about the outsized power the one-star review holds in Chinese medicine and why fear of being disliked is quietly undermining clinical authority, boundaries, and self-respect.

I break down how people-pleasing masquerades as kindness, why running your practice like the hospitality industry erodes trust, and how making decisions from fear leads to burnout and resentment. I explain why specialists don’t win on star ratings alone, how integrity matters more than universal approval, and why learning to let people be wrong about you is a core leadership skill.

If you’ve ever bent your policies, overridden your instincts, or kept a patient you knew you shouldn’t because you were afraid of a bad review, this episode will help you reclaim your authority and practice medicine like a doctor again.

In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I talk about the rising sense of despair many people are feeling in response to the state of the world and why staying stuck in that despair doesn’t serve you, your patients, or your purpose.

I explore how our brains are wired to fixate on the negative, how media algorithms profit from that bias, and why giving equal airtime to what’s good in your life is a radical act of mental hygiene.

I share how I personally navigate feelings of overwhelm by asking, “Who do I want to be while feeling this way?” This episode is a call to reclaim your focus, protect your energy, and stay grounded in reality. Not because things are easy, but because your work still matters.

In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I talk about why most people abandon their goals, often within weeks, and how to stop repeating that cycle.

I unpack the psychology behind vague goals, missing plans, and the fear of disappointment that leads so many practitioners to avoid goal-setting altogether. But the point of goals isn’t to have more. It’s to become more. I share how the real value of a goal lies in who you become during the process, not just in the outcome itself.

If you’ve struggled with follow-through, avoided setting goals altogether, or feel like you’re stuck in survival mode, this episode will help you shift your thinking and finally choose a goal worth showing up for.

In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., Michael and I share our recap of Harmonize 8 and 9: our boldest back-to-back training weekends yet.

We talk about what changed this time around, from improved student-teacher ratios and real-time diagnostics to the powerful new margins and pricing module that finally addresses how to price herbs based on reality, not emotion. We also reflect on the growing momentum behind our mission to reposition herbal medicine as primary care, not a last resort, and why this shift still matters so much.

Plus, you’ll hear what happened when someone with zero Chinese medicine training showed up and left accurately calling out patterns like damp-heat. If you’re wondering what really happens inside Harmonize, or why this program is helping turn the ship of the entire profession, this episode gives you a behind-the-scenes look.

In this special New Year’s episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., Michael and I pull back the curtain on our biggest business risk to date: running two back-to-back Harmonize trainings in 2026.

We reflect on the key wins of 2025, from hiring our first employees to launching The Modern Herbalist magazine, hitting 100 podcast episodes, and finally shifting to a single Harmonize per year to create space for bigger, longer-term projects.

We talk openly about what it’s like to grow a business you believe in, the fear that comes with betting on yourself, and why entrepreneurship means doing things scared anyway. If you’re navigating big decisions this year, this episode will show you how we’ve done it: messy, imperfect, but fully in.

In this New Year’s episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I break down the top five things the Chinese medicine profession needs to leave behind in 2025 if we want to evolve.

I share personal experiences, challenge some long-standing narratives in the field, and offer a clear call to action for stepping into a more empowered, effective, and entrepreneurial version of your practice.

In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I unpack the trap of chasing achievement as a path to worthiness or lasting happiness. Using examples like Paris Syndrome, holiday letdowns, and the emptiness that follows big wins, I explore the cultural myth that things will be better “once you get there.”

I break down the “have-do-be” mindset that keeps so many of us stuck, and offer a different lens: fulfillment comes not from the finish line, but from who you become in the pursuit.

If you’ve ever felt like hitting your goals didn’t deliver the satisfaction you expected, this episode is a powerful invitation to reframe why you strive, what’s truly within your control, and how to stop living for the next milestone and start living your life now.
