137 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 1 year ago - ★★★★★ - 12 ratings

The role of dad has changed for the 21st century physician father. With that comes different expectations compared to the physician dads before us. With so much changing, where do we turn to to get answers about how to be the dad we always expected ourselves to become? This podcast is designed with the physician dad in mind. I am Dr Jeremy Toffle, physician, husband, father to two boys, and self proclaimed imperfect dad. Through my own struggles as a parent, I have come to find that there are several key core foundations that make up who we are as a parent; if we chose to improve these core foundations, we can strive to be the father we always expected to be. Join me in this show as I discuss each of these core foundations as well as interview experts in various fields of these same principals. I also discuss dad life with new and experienced dads, helping us rediscover what it means to be a dad in the 21st century as a physician and learn to embrace our imperfections along the way. This is the Imperfect Dad MD Podcast

Visit Your Parents

September 14, 2022 05:00 - 20 minutes - 14 MB

When I was looking into residency options for pediatrics I never intended to actually move a plane ride away from my family.  However, when those match cards came in I found myself staring at a name I had almost forgot I had placed at the top.  Nebraska.   Moving to the middle of the country from my hometown of West Virginia was a shock at first.  Yet overtime it began to feel like home, and eventually when we had kids we decided to stick around.   Now I love where I live including the com...

The Cost to Raise a Child

September 07, 2022 05:00 - 20 minutes - 13.8 MB

This past month an article was released by the Brookings Institution (and thus several news agencies) focusing on the cost to raise a child in 2020.  They estimated that by the time that child finished high school at 17 years or age, you will have spent over 300000 dollars on them.  That's a lot of money! However, the topic of money and how much you spend on your kids is not as simple as this estimate suggests.  This estimate would have you spending about 18000 a year on them.  I know physi...

What is Love?

August 31, 2022 05:00 - 20 minutes - 14.2 MB

The topic of "love" is one that is frequently discussed but never fully agreed upon.   When our kids looks to us and ask us, "What is love, daddy?" I should have a quick easy answer for them to understand, right?   Sadly, love is not so easily explained, let alone understood, by most of us.   In the last few weeks I had a patient ask me this specific question.  The topic had never been brought up at home, and he was concerned he did not KNOW how to LOVE.  Not exactly a medical question, b...

Charting Mastery with Dr Ryan Stegink

August 24, 2022 05:00 - 26 minutes - 17.9 MB

Today's episode is an interview with Dr Ryan Stegink.   Dr. Ryan Stegink majored in physics before going to medical school, ultimately specializing in general pediatrics. Previously bringing many charts home and going through burnout less than a year out of training, he now leaves work at work, so he can be more present at home as a husband and father. Not content to keep this transformation to himself, Dr. Stegink has started a podcast and now group coaching program to help physicians with...

Are Your Kids Savers or Spenders?

August 18, 2022 05:00 - 17 minutes - 12.3 MB

Have you ever talked to your kids about "wants" versus "needs"? How do you approach every day purchases versus luxury purchases when discussing them with your kids? Does your kid spend all their allowance money on rocks?  (yes, one of our might just do that) In this week's episode of the Imperfect Dad MD podcast I focus on the topic of saving versus spending and RECOGNIZING what your kids do.  It is interesting to watch our kids and how they utilize currency, be it money they gained from ...

Understanding the Difference in Your Kids

August 10, 2022 05:00 - 19 minutes - 13.4 MB

I recently released a Reel on Instagram of our two boys sword fighting.  It was under the premise that I usually discourage our boys from fighting, yet I encouraged them to fight with swords and targets on their bodies.   As I watched the videos back, I very easily recognized the difference in fighting styles between the older and younger son.  One was more reserved and calculating, while the other simply berserked his attacks with no interest in hitting the target.   Correlating these beh...

Monkey Pox and Back to School

August 03, 2022 19:00 - 17 minutes - 11.7 MB

I didn't want to record this episode.  I had a completely different episode planned for this week.   However, we are now 1-2 weeks out from school starting for our kids and this thing we call Monkey Pox is becoming a hot topic.  How Hot, you may ask?  The WHO (World Health Organization) has just deemed to to be a Global Health Emergency.  They don't use those words lightly.   Here in the United States we are starting to see more and more cases of this spreading.  As kids plan to get back t...

Imposter Syndrome as a Physician Dad

July 27, 2022 05:00 - 25 minutes - 17.4 MB

In the medical community the term "Imposter Syndrome" has become very popular.  The concept began back in the 1970s by Drs. Clance and Imes.  They met with many high accomplished academics, admins, and students who felt their accomplishments were not their own and were, in a lack of a better term, frauds.  This idea of being an imposter as grown exponentially in the physician community.  In fact, some studies show the rate of physician imposter syndrome to be close to 60%.  I personally bla...

Things I Learned on Summer Vacation

July 20, 2022 14:00 - 18 minutes - 13.1 MB

When was the last family vacation you took?  Was it memorable?  Enjoyable?  Full of stress and frustration? Many of us as parents recognize that family vacations are not always truly "vacations."  Sometimes stressing over travel, food choices, sleep schedules, tantrums, or simply picking what to do when we get to our destination can lead to less-than-desirable memories.   Last month my family and I traveled to North Carolina to spend a week at the beach with my parents, siblings, and niece...

5 Things I Learned in June

July 13, 2022 05:00 - 22 minutes - 15.3 MB

We are BACK! Last month I decided to take time away from the podcast and focus more on myself and my family.  As the month of June is designated as Men's Health Month, I felt it was poignant to give more attention to my physical and mental health when it comes to being a father, husband, and physician. But now I am back in the podcast chair and ready to roll.  A lot happened in the month of June and I am excited to share it all with you!  I feel the best way to first summarize the month is...

Men's Health Month

June 01, 2022 05:00 - 22 minutes - 15.2 MB

Today is June 1st, meaning it is the beginning of Men's Health Month!  This month is dedicated to men focusing on their health in various aspects, including diet, exercise, medical health, and mental health.  Throughout the 123 episodes of this show, I feel those topics have been touched on rather frequently.  Early on I spoke with Dr Jonar de Guzman in Episode 10 on Lifestyle Medicine and how that affects physician dads.  I spent last July focusing solely on the book Blue Zones and my tho...

Setting Your Kid Up For Success

May 25, 2022 05:00 - 17 minutes - 11.8 MB

I have spoked several times on the topic of defining what success means to you, and what does it mean for your child to be successful.  We all have different definitions of success and how we interpret it.  Recently I saw an article posted on Facebook in regards to setting up your child for Entrepreneur Success.  Although we probably all want to see our children become business savvy adults, I felt like the article touched on several topics that can simply set up our children to be success...

Friday Review - How Lifestyle Can Affect Mental Health in Kids

May 20, 2022 05:00 - 11 minutes - 8.08 MB

This week's Wednesday episode focused on the topic of anxiety and depression in our adolescents and the WHY to how it all started.  One of the more important topics involving mental health is how Lifestyle can both positively and negatively affect mental health.  What is Lifestyle?  I am talking about sleep, diet, water intake, exercise, substance use - these key topics can significantly affect your child's ability to deal with mental health conditions. Listen in as I discuss these key top...

Adolescent Depression and Anxiety - Figuring Out the Why?

May 18, 2022 05:00 - 25 minutes - 17.5 MB

It is no secret that adolescent mental health conditions have become a major talking point since the pandemic began.  Schools shutting down and moving to virtual learning, the loss of sports and extracurricular activities, and simple socialization halting one day in March of 2020, it is no wonder that some kids are struggling to get back to "normal." However, we can't only blame COVID.  Mental health conditions like anxiety and depression usually take time to develop.  Little things here an...

Friday Review - Recovering from Mother's Day

May 13, 2022 05:00 - 9 minutes - 6.4 MB

Last weekend was Mother's Day, and I HOPE you treated the mother of your children (or your OWN mother) to a wonderful weekend. In our house we typically we let mom sleep in, I cook crepes with nutella, I get the kids ready for the day, we go to church, do brunch, and then mom gets to do whatever she wants the rest of the day while I take care of the kids.  Cards are made, little gifts are provided, and I hope we do enough to show my wife that she is appreciated. After doing all of these th...

Your Kid Doesn't Need a Smart Phone

May 11, 2022 05:00 - 20 minutes - 14.2 MB

One of the more common questions Pediatricians get asked by parents nowadays is, "What is a good age to buy my kid a smart phone?" I am kidding, actually.  Most kids have the phone already in hand before the question even gets asked.  Today our kids are being raised in a technologically diverse world that we could only dream of 30 years ago.  With that advancement comes attachment.  Attachment to devices.  Emails, message boards, video conferences, social media posts - they all coincide wi...

Friday Review - Teaching Prejudice While Watching the Bad Guys Movie

May 06, 2022 05:00 - 12 minutes - 8.59 MB

Apparently I am really into movie reviews lately and how they relate to parenting. Today's Friday Review is another movie review - this time with the newly released Bad Guys movie.  The premise of the movie seems simple enough - the 5 quintessential bad guys in most story books (Big Bad Wolf, Shark, Tarantula, Piranha, and a Snake) are cast by society as bad guys, so they obviously act bad.  They steal.  They cheat.  And they just don't care.  Yet as the movie goes on, we see them "try" t...

Parenting Lessons from Guardians of the Galaxy

May 04, 2022 05:00 - 19 minutes - 13.6 MB

You may not look at a movie like Guardians of the Galaxy and think, "Hey, I can learn some great parenting tips from that!"  However, that is just what I did this weekend with our kids. Now, some of you may think that allowing our 9 and 5 year old to watch these two movies are a bit out of their age range.  In most situations I would agree with you.  However, I allowed these movies to be a teaching moment for them.  We discussed initially how things would be said by grown ups in the movie a...

Friday Review - Are You the Negative Movie Reviewer When it Comes to Parenting?

April 22, 2022 05:00 - 8 minutes - 5.97 MB

On this week's Wednesday episode, I discussed how understanding the negative entities found in the Harry Potter universe can actually improve our roles as parents.  This was due in parent to recently seeing the new Fantastic Beasts movie, which I really enjoyed! So like any normal person, I decided to listen to other people's opinions on the content.  And boy was it NEGATIVE.   Let's be honest - in the online world of YouTube and podcasts, negativity sells.  No one wants to hear how much y...

How Understanding Harry Potter Can Improve Your Parenting

April 20, 2022 05:00 - 17 minutes - 11.7 MB

This past weekend I was filled with joy as I was able to see the new Fantastic Beasts Movies in theaters with a good friend of mine.  I had been waiting to see how the movie unfolded and the story continued.   If you have not seen the movies, there is a certain character named Credence who develops a negative entity known is an Obscurus.  This negative entity grows within him because Credence tries to hide from the world what he really is - a wizard being raised by a fanatical anti-magic fo...

Direct Patient Care with Dr Phil Boucher

April 13, 2022 05:00 - 26 minutes - 18 MB

One of the biggest stressors in medicine is dealing with insurance companies.   Billing, collections. prior authorizations - these situations are some of the biggest reasons physicians are turning away from medicine.  What if you could do away with all of that? Today I speak with Dr Phil Boucher.  He is a pediatrician, husband, father, and recently decided to open his own Direct Primary Care (DPC) pediatric practice in Lincoln. Nebraska.  In this week's episode we talk dad life and what ...

Friday Review - My Thoughts on Physician Coaching

April 08, 2022 05:00 - 13 minutes - 8.99 MB

This week I got to speak with Dr Michael Hersh - a gastroenterologist, husband, dad, and physician coach.  Some of you may be still asking what a coach is, why do people do coaching, or is it all just a scam? In today's review show I share my thoughts on physician coaches and life coaches in general.  Listen in and let me know what YOUR thoughts are as well! Remember to SUBSCRIBE and LEAVE A REVIEW!  I want to be able to help as many dads and parents out there, and I can't do it without YO...

Physician Coaching with Dr Michael Hersh

April 06, 2022 05:00 - 28 minutes - 19.4 MB

It seems like the topic of "Life Coaching" has become more prevalent the last two years, mostly in part due to the pandemic.  Many people were feeling lost, unsure of who they are or what they wanted, which typically leads individuals to searching for help.  In medicine, however, physicians have been feeling the sense of feeling lost and helpless much longer.  Burnout has been a major topic within all medical fields for the last decade at least, with a strong emphasis on life at work, life...

Friday Review - ACEs, Toxic Stress, and What You Can Do as Dad

April 01, 2022 05:00 - 11 minutes - 8.28 MB

This week I spoke with Dr Scott Grant on the topic of ACEs and what they are.  Today I wanted to address the topic more and expand on it by discussing the different types of stress our kids with on a daily basis.  These types of stress may be healthy, teaching our kids to deal with conflict in the future.  Other forms of stress, however, can be seen as detrimental to our child's brain development.  Remember to SUBSCRIBE and LEAVE A REVIEW!  I want to be able to help as many dads and parents...

Interview with Dr Scott Grant on Dad Life and ACEs

March 30, 2022 05:00 - 29 minutes - 20 MB

Has the term ACEs ever crossed your pathway (that is, outside of your weekly poker game)?  Are you familiar with WHAT they are and WHY they are so important to understand as a parent? In today's episode I have the privilege to talk with Dr Scott Grant, a Pediatrician in Michigan, husband, father, and podcaster at the Docs2Dads Podcast where he discusses important dad topics for all new and experienced dads.  One of the topics he frequently discusses is that of ACEs - also known as Adverse C...

Friday Review - Why is After School So Dang Hard?

March 25, 2022 05:00 - 9 minutes - 6.26 MB

Tell me if you have experienced this before: your kid comes from home from school and all YOU want to do is ask them about their day?  How was school?  Who did you play with?  What did you learn in math?  Yet when your kid opens their mouth, it isn't to answer your questions.  It is to complain about something.  It is to throw a tantrum about wanting a snack.  It is complaining that you don't have a playdate scheduled for them.  Why is it that after school is just SO DANG HARD?  What is it...

Why Paying For Exercise Programs Actually Works

March 23, 2022 05:00 - 16 minutes - 11.6 MB

I remember being in high school watching late night TV and the commercials that would be on were always some get healthy quick scheme, random health drinks, ab-blaster machines, or the occasional low budget P90X commercials before it became popular.   Many people look at paying for someone to help you get healthy as a ridiculous concept.  As physicians we KNOW that eating healthy and staying active is what we should all be doing, yet many of us fail to do it in our own lives.   Why is that...

Image of a Father - How Does It Affect YOU as a Parent

March 16, 2022 05:00 - 13 minutes - 9.1 MB

My wife recently surprised me with a date night to see the new Batman movie.  If you know my wife, you know that this is not typically a movie she would willingly choose to see.   During the movie the viewer watches as Bruce Wayne struggles with the identity of his father, first seeing him as this perfect philanthropist, yet later learns of some buried family secrets (no spoilers here).  This shift in the image of his father seems to take a toll on Bruce, and it had me questioning how I wou...

Friday Review - How COVID Affected the Gender Gap in Physician Parenting

March 11, 2022 06:00 - 14 minutes - 10 MB

This Wednesday I discussed various articles focusing on Physician Parent burnout and how it differs based on gender.  One thing I mentioned was I did not know how things changed since COVID. Well give me two days and a goal and I found some articles looking at that exact topic.  There was an article on Medscape by Avery Hurt Nov 12, 2021 that reviewed a study published in JAMA Open Network titled Experiences of Work-Family Conflict and Mental Health Symptoms by Gender Among Physician Paren...

The Generational Gap for Physician Parents

March 09, 2022 06:00 - 26 minutes - 18.3 MB

How many of you remember what it was like growing up with your parents?   What was dad's role?  What did mom do? Were their jobs "defined" or did it seem fluid and ever changing? If you were raised like many kids before the 90's, you probably had more of a "traditional" family.  Dad went to work and mainly worked whereas mom did most of the household tasks as well as getting kids to and from activities.  Was that you? However, we now have merging parenting roles when it comes to mom and da...

Lenten Changes for a Physician Dad

March 04, 2022 06:00 - 14 minutes - 10.2 MB

This week is the first week of Lent if you follow the Christian calendar.  I elected not to have a Wednesday episode in order to focus on my family this last week and attend Ash Wednesday service with them.  However, the lenten season is an important to recognize the things in life we with to make changes to.  Some of you listening to the show may not be familiar with Lent, and if not that is ok.  In the beginning of the episode I give a brief background of what Lent is and why it is so imp...

Friday Review - Bringing Dads Back to Church

February 25, 2022 06:00 - 13 minutes - 9.35 MB

This week my wife and I attended our Bible study where we meet with other couples we are friends with in our church and focus on certain topics, all while hoping our kids can play nicely together.  This week brought dads into the discussion, and I felt it was prudent to discuss it. Did you know that Father's Day is the LEAST attended church service of the year?  Did you know Mother's Day is the MOST attended church service just behind Christmas and Easter?  Why?  What is it about churc...

Teaching Your Kid to Deal With Adversity

February 23, 2022 06:00 - 21 minutes - 14.7 MB

Did any of you catch the Winter Olympics this year?  If you remotely paid attention, you probably caught at least some of the drama surrounding the Russian Olympic Committee and their female figure skaters.  There were positive drug tests, poor sportsmanship shown by at least one of their skaters after the event, and a lonely gold medalist sitting with no one to celebrate with. Our children use sports to learn how to socialize, stay active, stay healthy, and most of important of all - deal...

Finding Joy in Disappointment

February 16, 2022 21:00 - 17 minutes - 12.2 MB

Last week you may have noticed I was a little down on myself. I was due to leave in TWO DAYS to speak at the Physician Wellness and Financial Literacy Conference in Phoenix, Arizona when I came down wit COVID.  Due to this, I was forced to cancel all travel plans, record my talk, and watch from home.  When this first occurred I was crushed.  Let's be honest: I had been preparing for this event for months.  It was the literal ONE THING I had planned for myself for the entire year.  The res...

Episode 100! Time to Celebrate? Or Disappointed?

February 11, 2022 06:00 - 18 minutes - 12.5 MB

I can't believe that this podcast has made it to 100 episodes!  When I first started I never imagined where this show would take me or the people that I got to meet in the process.   Most podcasts will do some sort of celebration episode when they reach 100.  However, a recent situation has seemed to put a damper on my festive spirits. It is Tuesday night as I sit recording this episode.  The Tuesday before I was SUPPOSED to be flying to Phoenix for the Physician Wellness and Financial Lit...

Physician Marriages with Dr George and Vanessa Naum

February 09, 2022 06:00 - 43 minutes - 29.6 MB

Are you or someone you know struggling in their marriage? Do you feel like you were ready to get married, or truly knew what you were getting into from the start? Marriage can be HARD!  When two people of different life experiences decide to come together, new questions or concerns may arise once those vows are said. In today's episode I speak with Dr George and Vanessa Naum.  They are marriage coaches specifically crafted to speak with physicians and help them through the harder nuance...

Friday Review - Learning From the Birthday Party

February 04, 2022 06:00 - 11 minutes - 7.61 MB

This week I lamented on birthday parties and how they both positively and negatively affect our kids.  Well, seeing as our older son's party has come and gone, I felt it was important to give it some self reflection and discuss what I learned from the party, how well our son did with the party, and things I can improve on next time.  Remember to SUBSCRIBE and LEAVE A REVIEW!  I want to be able to help as many dads and parents out there, and I can't do it without YOUR help! Interested in mo...

Birthdays and How They Affect Our Kids

February 02, 2022 06:00 - 16 minutes - 11.4 MB

Rather read than listen?  Check out the blog post here! Our older son recently celebrated a birthday, which meant the obligatory party, friends, gifts, etc.  We look at birthdays as a way to celebrate an individual, improving their self esteem and sense of self in the process.  However, is it possible to go TOO far on birthdays?   Today I discuss my thoughts on how the celebration of birthdays has changed since I was younger, and why I think that (in some cases) they could do more harm tha...

Friday Review - Thor as the Prodigal Son

January 28, 2022 06:00 - 8 minutes - 5.77 MB

This week my son asked about his worthiness in relation to the movie Thor.  As I sat down to think about the topic, I can't help but think of the parable of the Prodigal Son in the book of Luke.  How do we learn from these stories as parents?  How can we relate them to our own lives and children?  Although the Bible intends to have God be the father in the story and we are the children, it is also important to view it from the parental side of the coin. Listen in as I discuss this story and...

Dad, Am I Worthy?

January 26, 2022 06:00 - 18 minutes - 12.5 MB

As I was putting our 5-year-old to bed the other night, he looked and asked, "Dad, am I worthy?" Worthy of what you might ask? This last week our kids finally saw the first Thor movie and Avengers movie.  I know, I know.  We are a bit behind.   If you (somehow) are not familiar with the movies, Thor starts out as a hot-headed, war seeking young adult set to inherit the throne from his father, Odin.  Odin had spent all of Thor's childhood focusing on trying to make him a good king.  Lesson...

Friday Feelings - Routine Changes SUCK!

January 21, 2022 06:00 - 9 minutes - 6.49 MB

You may have noticed that there was no Friday Review show last week.  There was a reason for this! Recently my wife and I started a new fitness program that is 10 weeks long.  Exercise 6 days a week, change and document eating patterns, etc.  We get totally do this, right? Well for me, this also meant changing my sleep patterns.  See, the only time I can exercise is in the morning.  That means waking up at 5 AM instead of close to 7 like I used to, thus shifting my entire day by 2 hours.  ...

Omicron and Kids - Do They Get Sick?

January 19, 2022 06:00 - 26 minutes - 18.4 MB

Check out the blog post here! Listen, I get it.  We are ALL sick of talking about COVID.  Years of our lives have been dominated by this topic.  Fatigue as set in EVERYWHERE, including how we seem to manage it in terms of the population. However, whenever I see articles on certain news sites that "kids do fine with Omicron," or some other variation of the title, I can't help but speak up.  Everyone likes to use data points to prove a point, and I continue to be exhausted by how many times...

A Year of Fatherly Advice, Part 2

January 12, 2022 17:00 - 30 minutes - 20.9 MB

Last week I began looking back at 2021 and all the amazing dads I was lucky enough to talk to on my podcast.  This week is the second part, where we get to hear from more amazing fathers and their perspective on being a dad and physician.    Today you will hear from dads about divorce, losing a child, a new father, and making your family a priority.   Each of these episodes presented today contain a lot of important information on dad life, so if you missed any of them make sure to go back ...

Friday Resolution - Getting Healthy for the New Year

January 07, 2022 06:00 - 9 minutes - 6.25 MB

Yes.  Yes.  I know. We ALL seem to have a "get healthy" resolution when the new year rolls around.  We find the latest diet craze or exercise machine and scream THIS IS OUR YEAR.  A week rolls by and we are back into our pajama pants scraping the bottom of the ice cream box.  Most of us WANT to make changes in our lives to be happier and healthier.  The problem is many times we don't have someone to truly keep us accountable.  This year my wife and I decided to embark on an exercise journe...

A Year of Fatherly Advice, Part 1

January 05, 2022 06:00 - 25 minutes - 17.4 MB

Happy New Year!  I hope everyone's 2022 is much more enjoyable than 2021 turned out to be.  One of the great things about 2021 for me was starting the podcast.  I am almost a year into the show and can't believe how far it has come.  Some of you are just learning about the show whereas others have been here from the start.  Either way I greatly appreciate you tuning in. With the New Year we are always looking for ways to change our lives for the better.  Sometimes it takes getting advice...

Friday Review - A Day of Routine Makes Everything Better

December 31, 2021 06:00 - 8 minutes - 5.93 MB

It is incredible what a single day can do for not only your demeanor but that of your child's as well.  This Wednesday's episodes I talked about (ok I complained) about how our recent holiday trip did not go as planned.  Being out of our normal routines. our kids struggled.  Abnormal living quarters.  Different eating habits.  Familiar faces we had not seen in over a year.   All of these changes can add up to significant stimuli on the way our brain interprets the world around us.  Thus, t...

Happy Holidays?

December 29, 2021 07:00 - 17 minutes - 12.4 MB

Well, we JUST got back from our trip for the holidays and I had to share my feelings on how it went with our kids.  You know when you have a trip you have been looking forward to for weeks, and then when it happens it feels like your kids do everything to ruin it?  I'm sure you have been there in one way or another.  Sometimes it is hard to get out of that mindset.  It is HARD to focus on the positives of the trip when all you can seem to do is see the negatives. This week I am bearing m...

Friday Feelings - Christmas Traditions

December 24, 2021 06:00 - 8 minutes - 5.96 MB

Happy Christmas Eve!  No matter where you may be or what you may be doing, this time of year is important for all of us.  I recognize some of you may be heading into work today for either a short day or an all nighter.  If that is the case I just want you to know how appreciated YOU are and the care you provide to those around you. In today's Friday Feelings show I wanted to discuss some of my family's traditions when it comes to Christmas.  The reason is that they left a mark on me in dif...

Dad Life with New Dad Dr Cobin Soelberg

December 22, 2021 06:00 - 30 minutes - 21.1 MB

For some of us, medical school is the peak of our education.  We focus all of our studies on the knowledge gained in medical school and residency and apply it to our careers.  Any future learning is solely focused on this area of interest. Imagine not only completing medical school, but also going to law school AND opening your own Financial Advisor group.   That is exactly what Dr Cobin Soelberg did. Today I get to talk dad life with Dr Soelberg who recently gained the title of "DAD" an...
