In this episode, Dr. Robert Rowe speaks with Dr. Thom Mayer, emergency medicine physician and Medical Director of the National Football League Players Association. An author, public speaker, and entrepreneur, Dr. Mayer recounts his career journey from humble beginnings to the NFL Hall of Fame, matching one’s sense of purpose with what is deeply needed in the world, and prioritizing building relationships over resumes. We then begin to discuss his book, Battling Healthcare Burnout, a discussion we continue in part II.
