We’ve turned intuition into a buzzword—flattened it into a slogan, a gut feeling, or a vague whisper we don’t always know how to hear. But what if intuition is so much more? What if it's one of the most powerful tools we have—and we’ve just forgotten how to use it? In this episode, I’m joined by Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir , Icelandic thought leader, filmmaker, and author of InnSæi: Icelandic Wisdom for Turbulent Times . Hrund has spent over 20 years studying and teaching the science and art of intuition through her TED Talk, Netflix documentary ( InnSæi: The Power of Intuition ), and global work on leadership, innovation, and inner knowing. Together, we explore what intuition really is (hint: not woo-woo), how to cultivate it in a culture obsessed with logic and overthinking, and why your ability to listen to yourself might be the most essential skill you can develop. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why we’ve misunderstood intuition—and how to reclaim it ✅ Practical ways to strengthen your intuitive muscle ✅ What Icelandic wisdom teaches us about inner knowing ✅ How to use intuition during uncertainty and decision-making ✅ Why trusting yourself is an act of rebellion (and power) Intuition isn’t magic—it’s a deep, internal guidance system that already exists inside you. The question is: are you listening?

REPLAY: Medical Students Financial Implications. #397 59:14

לפני 8 ימים59:14

59:14

SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show! As we navigate the tumultuous seas of medical education's financial demands, you'll discover the myriad of ways it shapes decisions, lifestyles, and the future of healthcare. Joined by Dr. Love Anani from the Student National Medical Association (SNMA), we're celebrating 60 years of the organization's incredible support for medical students as we dissect the costs from MCAT to residency. Delve into our candid exchange on how the weight of student loans can alter career paths and delay life’s milestones, and learn why choosing a specialty isn't just about passion but often a calculation tinged with economic considerations. Imagine a world where your student debt doesn't chain down your aspirations but acts as a springboard to your dreams. You'll see that Dr. Love treats student loans like a utility bill—steady, manageable, and non-crippling. Together with his wife, also a physician, they've crafted a repayment strategy that's ambitious yet grounded. Their aim: to clear their loans without letting them eclipse the joy of their profession or life's pleasures. In an era where the price tag on medical education skyrockets without a corresponding leap in resident salaries, we contemplate the ethical quandaries and barriers this creates. The narrative isn't all grim; our discussions on strategic indulgences, the distinction between good and bad debt, and how even the smallest contributions to organizations like the SNMA can ripple into significant impact, will leave you inspired. Join us as we dissect these issues, and more, offering a lifeline of advice and solidarity to those embarking on the noble journey of a medical career.

Our discussion stems from a shocking case of obstetrical abuse where an attending deliberately created a fourth-degree laceration on a Black patient who had just delivered her baby without complications, solely so a resident could practice the repair. We go deep into how medical training can sometimes cross serious ethical boundaries and remaining silent when witnessing unethical practices doesn't just harm patients, it erodes one's own moral foundation and perpetuates a culture where abuses can continue unchecked.

Surgeon Leaves OR for Insurance Call. Doctors, Social Media & Ethics. #448 Part 3 25:34

לפני 12 weeks25:34

25:34

SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show! We explore a case where Dr. Elisabeth Potter, a surgeon , decided to pause a surgery to respond to a phone call from UnitedHealthcare. Dr. Potter took to social media to express her frustration and later clarified in a follow-up post that there was a second surgeon in the operating room with her, who watched over the patient as she took the phone call. UnitedHealthcare have denied Potter's claim that she was forced to step out of the surgery that day to take the call by saying," Let us be clear: any suggestion that UnitedHealthcare asked you to step out of surgery, or that the call was urgent, is false. UnitedHealthcare did not ask - now would it ever expect - a physician to interrupt patient care to return a phone call about a notification error or any other insurance matter." Join us for a discussion on whether Dr. Potter made a necessary move or was there a lapse in judgment from her.

What does this mean for self-employed professionals like locum tenens doctors? How will these changes impact the insurance market and healthcare accessibility?

We're breaking down Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl 2025 halftime performance featuring surprise appearances by SZA and Serena Williams. Let’s just say it gave us a lot to talk about! Nii’s giving it a B+, but overall, we both enjoyed the show and its theme. A lot of people thought Kendrick wouldn’t perform "Not Like Us," but he proved everyone wrong. And then there’s Bomani Jones, who thought Beyoncé would’ve been the better pick for the Super Bowl.
