You can be successful and still feel not enough. You can save lives every day—and still wonder if you’re failing as a husband, father, or friend.In this episode, I sit down with my long-time friend Dr. Richard Farnam, a top-tier gynecological robotic surgeon, YouTube educator, and self-proclaimed lifelong learner.But this episode isn’t about fancy titles or flashy accolades.It’s about the real stuff. Like growing up poor in rural Wisconsin, wrestling with a scarcity mindset that doesn’t quit, and realizing that being the best surgeon in the world doesn’t excuse you for being a shitty dad or an absent husband.We talk about burnout, what most doctors get wrong about money, why success without family is empty, and how mastery, gratitude, and curiosity can save more than just your bank account.Dr. Rich also breaks down how robotic surgery revolutionized women’s healthcare, the truth about doctors and wealth, and why niching down is the most underrated key to financial freedom, both inside and outside of medicine.“ Being the top best surgeon does not excuse you from being the top best husband and the top best father.” - Dr. Richard Farnam.Connect with Dr. Richard Farnam (a.k.a.
