About this listen
In this heartfelt episode of Inalienable Rights, Justin and Alyssa sit down with their first-ever guest: Isaac Rodriguez. Isaac shares the real, raw story of how he went from struggling academically and spiritually in undergrad to ultimately earning a spot at Ross University School of Medicine. Born and raised in Southern California, Isaac opens up about his upbringing in a Christian household, the pressures of pursuing medicine without a traditional support system, and how a pivotal job in a research lab reignited his passion and gave him the confidence to try again.
From MCAT woes and unexpected mentors to rediscovering faith and navigating long-distance marriage while in med school, Isaac’s journey is a testimony of resilience, divine timing, and the power of community. Whether you're on your own path to medicine or just love a good comeback story, this episode will encourage and inspire you.
