What Are You More Than Podcast
25 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 4 years ago - ★★★★★ - 10 ratingsYou don't have to quit your 9 - 5 job to dive into your side hustle or other passions. Drs. Amira and Warren Woodruff are husband and wife dentists who realized, after years of practicing, that it really was okay to be MORE THAN dentists. Dr. Amira, the actor, and Dr. Warren, the technology guru, learned quickly that having these outlets outside of their career was not only healthy, but also life-changing. This is the podcast for you if you've ever felt like you were dealing with burnout, or more specifically, no longer want to be only defined by your title. Titles can be anything including doctor, teacher, lawyer, athlete, engineer, nurse, mom, or anything else you feel is forcing you to be one-dimensional, and lose part of what makes you YOU along the way. Tune in for inspiring interviews with people who have amazing side hustles and others who've become entrepreneurs by turning those side hustles into profitable and fun full-time careers. Choose to no longer limit yourself. What are you more than?
