  • #143 Dr. Tanner Moore on Seeking Responsibility and Being a Savage Servant
    Oct 7 2024

    As healthcare costs soar and the system grows more complicated, patients are losing trust, and doctors are burning out. Dr. Tanner, a direct primary care physician, is changing that narrative. In a conversation with Justin, he explains what it means to be a “savage servant” for his patients—challenging the traditional healthcare model to offer something better: care that’s personal, effective, and free from red tape.

    For Dr. Tanner, the DPC model is more than just a business structure—it’s a lifeline for both doctors and patients. By removing insurance companies from the equation, DPC creates a membership-based relationship where doctors have the freedom to truly serve their patients’ needs.

    Dr. Tanner’s philosophy is simple: find a way or make one. He believes this is a time for innovation in healthcare, Tanner creates an environment where people feel supported and heard. For Dr. Tanner, being a “savage servant” means shouldering the responsibility of improving the lives of those he cares for.

    His commitment to the DPC model shows that healthcare can be different, and his vision is already creating waves in the medical community. His belief in serving his patients relentlessly is a bold reminder that healthcare isn’t just about medicine—it’s about people.

  • #141 Gin Burchfield on the Integration of Faith and Wellness
    Sep 23 2024

    Today, Justin welcomes Gin Burchfield, a health and leadership coach, who shares her blend of intuitive bodywork, somatic coaching, and faith-based healing practices. Her approach to wellness goes beyond just physical health—she integrates mindful practices, personal reflection, and spirituality to help others on their health and healing journey.

    A key theme in this episode is understanding the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit. Gin emphasizes the importance of knowing yourself—what drives you, what holds you back, and what motivates you to stay on track with your health goals. She teaches that mindful practices, such as listening to your body and addressing underlying emotional blockages, are essential for long-term health.

    One of the most touching moments Gin shares is the story of a doctor who prayed for her and her family before a medical procedure. That experience stuck with her, showing how faith and wellness can come together. Gin talks about how trusting in medical care and leaning on faith don’t have to be separate paths but can complement each other, offering both physical healing and spiritual support.

    This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing is multifaceted, and sometimes the most meaningful transformations happen when you allow faith and wellness to work together.

  • #137 Sean Doherty on Living Beyond Comfort Zones and Always Learning
    Aug 26 2024

    What if the most meaningful growth, impactful learning, and deeper connections are found just beyond your comfort zone? In today’s episode, Justin is joined by friend and colleague Sean Doherty. The two dive deep into the importance of understanding different perspectives and how this understanding influences learning, life, and everything in between.

    Their discussion sheds light on the critical role of stepping out of one’s comfort zone and how doing so can lead to profound growth and new ways of thinking.

    As a mentor, Sean is passionate about helping others grasp the deeper reasons behind their actions. He believes that taking the time to understand the "why" leads to more substantial and lasting learning. This approach might take longer, but Sean’s patience is evident in his dedication to teaching people to appreciate different learning styles and perspectives.

    One of the most impactful ideas Sean shares is the necessity of stepping outside our comfort zones. While it’s natural to stay within familiar boundaries, doing so limits personal growth. Sean argues that real learning and development happen when we push ourselves into new and sometimes uncomfortable territories.

    Sean’s insights encourage us to rethink how we approach both learning and life. It’s a reminder that the most valuable lessons often come from the places we least expect—just beyond the edge of our comfort zones.
