Syed T. Hoda, MD Discomfort: Finding Out Who We Are and Can Be

It's Diane Wilson, your host! So excited to share my conversation with Dr. Syed Hoda for The Genius Podcast. You'll love this. It's comforting, connecting, funny and fun. It will make you think and challenge yourself. Thanks, Dr. Hoda for joining me to reflect on life one year later in our global pandemic. 

A year ago, when we first met the distinguished pathologist and professor, Dr. Hoda, he had just finished a special project.  It was in a hospital when New York City was one of the first Covid-19 epicenters. He managed a team of pathologists and students who played a role in connecting families to the critical care team to relieve some pressure during this unimaginable time. It was a very novel role and a stretch for Dr. Hoda that opened up him up in some rather unique ways. 

We will cover many topics related and unrelated to that extraordinary experience. These include:

The challenge of allowing ourselves to be uncomfortable. 
How can we sustain our energy and spirit to grow into our best selves when the world is burning around us. 
How stressful events can ground us to be open rather than fearful and hidden. 
Pageant waves, social media, Syed's father and son, and Brain Dance.  

A pandemic changes people. The direction of that change can vary a lot. My hope is that this Genius Podcast episode will help inspire positive and authentic change for you.  

Notes:

Dr. Hoda's recurrent mantra for other physicians (or any professional) is "Person 1st, Physician 2nd, Specialist 3rd" as a reminder that the common denominator for any professional is being a person 1st.
