Empowering Doctors to Lead Healthcare Change

from The Playbook · host David Meltzer, Entrepreneur.com

In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Scott Shapiro, a board-certified cardiologist and nationally recognized physician advocate who helped launch one of the first agencies designed specifically to represent doctors. We talk about the mission behind MD Envoy, a new model inspired by sports representation that gives physicians support beyond the bedside. Our conversation covers physician burnout, mental health, and why many doctors struggle with the business and personal demands of their careers. Dr. Shapiro also shares how strategic representation, stronger physician voices, and modern platforms can improve healthcare outcomes while helping doctors build sustainable careers and make a broader impact across communities.
