Dr. Jeffrey Albert had all the traditional markers of success—multiple leadership roles, decades of experience, and a deep commitment to healthcare. But beneath the surface, he felt stuck, disillusioned, and quietly burned out. In this episode:

• Dr. Albert reflects on how leadership began to feel hollow, even as he rose in influence and responsibility.
• He describes the creeping realization that knowing more wasn’t solving the deeper sense of powerlessness.
• A pivotal moment came when he recognized how often he defaulted to “fixing” others, while avoiding his own internal work.
• Through a powerful coaching engagement, he uncovered how he had been playing out old patterns—chasing external success to avoid inner discomfort.
• He shares how slowing down, getting quiet, and tolerating uncertainty helped him begin leading from a place of presence, not performance.
• The episode dives into how true integration—not information—created a sustainable, fulfilling shift in how he shows up as a leader.

Today, Jeff is an executive leader committed to growing others in deeply authentic ways.

Most physicians assume that success in medicine means working harder—but what if that’s the very mindset keeping them stuck?

Dr. Nneka Unachukwu (Dr. Una) shares her incredible journey from a shy, introverted physician to a thriving entrepreneur and business leader. She opens up about the deep shame and imposter syndrome she faced when launching her business school, the fear of marketing as a new private practice owner, and the key mindset shifts that helped her break through.

In this episode, Dr. Una and Sandy Scott dive into:

• The moment Dr. Una realized her fear wasn’t a stop sign—it was a sign of growth.
• How she overcame the belief that doctors aren’t “business people.”
• Why building a dream business isn’t about talent—it’s about surrounding yourself with the right people.
• The underestimated power of gratitude, long walks, and faith in sustaining high performance.
• This conversation is a must-listen for any physician who’s ever felt stuck, uncertain, or hesitant to take their next big step. Dr. Una proves that success isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about taking messy, imperfect action anyway.

For years, Dr. Ben Reinking believed that working harder was the key to success—until it nearly broke him. In a career defined by relentless productivity, he found himself questioning whether he was truly fulfilled or just surviving. In this episode we discuss:

• Early Leadership Struggles: How growing up as the oldest of seven children shaped his natural leadership, but his quiet nature often made him feel overlooked in traditional leadership settings.
• The Hidden Cost of Burnout: A sudden staffing crisis in his division forced him into survival mode, leading to overwhelming exhaustion and a wake-up call that something had to change.
• The Turning Point: A single conversation during a COPE session helped him realize he wasn’t okay—and that he needed to redefine his relationship with work and leadership.
• From Burnout to Coaching: His personal journey led him to physician coaching, where he helps others navigate their own career crossroads and rediscover their purpose.
• Redefining Leadership: Instead of forcing himself to fit the mold of an extroverted, authoritative leader, he embraced a more intentional, relationship-driven leadership style.

Leadership and success in medicine aren’t about working harder—they’re about aligning with your purpose, leading in your own way, and allowing yourself to grow beyond the traditional expectations of the field.
