20 - Season 1 in Review
This special episode is our last for the season. There’s no guest interview; instead, we’ve selected the very best soundbites from the season and took some time as a team to reflect on all of the conversations we had with the wonderful guests on the podcast over the past year. Although each guest brought different expertise, opinions, and backgrounds from their corners of the health-world, we found that many of the themes that emerged shared similar lessons on failure, building community and connection, shaping a professional identity, enacting meaningful change, and how to take action.
