"Medicine can have extraordinary meaning. But it cannot substitute for being present in your own life. The world may need us as physicians.
But the people who love us need us as ourselves.
And that is the role no one else can fill."
Brilliant - and much love to you

The best CEO advice I received throughout my career:
• customer service is not a department
• sales is the hardest job in any company
• customer focus > competitor focus
• trust is #1 core value
• agency (can do) > intelligence (IQ)
• adopt a beginner’s mindset - experts are lifelong learners
• tactics drive strategy - adapt faster
• always try to add value and be helpful
• own it and never point fingers
• influence > authority
• learn and use people’s names
• show up when it matters most to your customers
• earn a seat next to your customer, not across from her
• our job is to educate and inspire
• we are all in sales
• stay accessible, curious and humble
• people do business with people they trust, respect and like
• if you are waiting for a title to lead, you are not ready to lead
• the language of business is finance
• there are no IT projects, only business projects
• pay your best people the very best you can
• hire people based on their good judgment and high rate of learning
• in a celebration lead from the back, in a crisis lead from the front
• you are not a team because you work together - you are a team because you trust, respect and care for each other
• to improve the customer experience, start with the employee experience
• you are not taller by making others look smaller
• revenue growth ahead of expenses
• remove bad apples quickly
• leave your desk and spend time with customers
• culture is what happens when the managers leave the room
• tactics drive strategy
• there is nothing more important than our customers
• if you are waiting for a better title to lead, you are not ready to lead
• business is personal - you can be decisive and also be kind, graceful and empathetic
• recognize effort but reward outcomes
• your company is only as good as the company you keep
• your brand is what people say about you when you’re not in the room
• learn to speak your customer’s language
• often remind people that their work matters
• a zero sum mindset limits your growth
• your company is only as good as the company you keep
• innovation opportunities are found at the edges, not centers (how your customers serve their customers)
🚨 BREAKING: If you’ve been using ChatGPT for writing or brainstorming… your creativity might already be permanently damaged.
I came across this study tracking 61 people and 3,302 ideas.
At first, AI users looked smarter.
More ideas. Better scores. Higher output.
Then researchers removed ChatGPT.
Their creativity collapsed overnight.
But the scary part?
Their ideas had already started to look identical.
Same structure. Same phrasing. Same thinking.
Researchers called it “homogenization.”
Even 30 days later, the creativity boost was gone… but the damage stayed.
Another trial confirmed it:
📉 ChatGPT users: 57.5%
📈 Traditional learners: 68.5%
Could this mean AI lowers cognitive effort?
Less effort = weaker thinking?
If it’s true it means you’re not borrowing productivity.
You’re trading originality for convenience.
And the cost might be permanent.
What are your thoughts? 💭
Admirable traits of strong leadership:
1. Humility - a beginner’s mindset that is open to new ideas and less judgmental. A mindset free of prejudice. A quiet mind that values actions and impact above words.
2. Honestly - radical transparency with grace and dignity. The ability to give feedback without causing resentment is a superpower. The ability to admit mistakes quickly and to ask for forgiveness. And a willingness to show vulnerability.
3. Self-awareness (situational awareness) - reading the room and balancing one’s contributions to ensure a value exchange that benefits all. Knowing when to speak and when to listen. Knowing that given a choice of being clever or kind, being kind is right choice. It is balancing ambition with value.
4. Sense of humor - do not take yourself too seriously and stay accessible. Show passion and ambition but not at a cost to others. Make people comfortable and at ease. Laugh loudly but welcome humor with open arms. But not at the expense to others. Happy people smile more.
5. Active listening (hear the unsaid and listen with your eyes) - if you are waiting for a pause, so that you can speak, you are not truly listening. And the most important part of listening is the ability to hear the unsaid. Sometimes the best way to support and help others is to give your undivided attention.
6. Interest in others (empathy) - be interesting first. The goal is to leave people better than when you found them. Everyone you meet knows more about something than you do. Care more about the people around you. This is my definition of servant leadership.
7. Generosity (giving) - the coolest people I know are unselfishly generous with their time and knowledge. Give more than you take. And give without expecting a get. The strongest leaders give more than they take. Takers may end up with more, but givers sleep better at night.
8. Intellectual curiosity -learn to search for the grounded truth. And be willing to change your mind when the facts and the truth contradicts your prior beliefs. The strongest leaders are lifelong students. And also lifelong teachers. Start with 4 word: what do you think?
9. Good manners - be nice and polite to all. This may be life’s biggest hack. Say ‘thank you’ and ‘please’ more. Hold doors a bit longer. Do not interrupt people. Do not brag. Do not shout or speak poorly of others. Be a good person, but do not waste time trying to prove it.
10. No sense or entitlement - the world does not owe you a thing. The best people that I know are not chasing compliments or validation. Learn to fight for your happiness and do it with dignity, optimism and grace. Fall in love with the work, not the praise.
11. Positioning for shared success - In a celebration, lead from the back. In a crisis, lead from the front. In the company of someone that has a better idea, follow first. Leadership is all about positioning and standing in the right places.
12. Legacy of servant leadership - The best leaders leave everything and everyone better than when they found them. You will be remembered by how often you helped others achieve their goals.
13. Grit and persistence - Some things are hard to teach: sense of urgency, critical thinking, creativity, customer empathy, team commitment, humility, unselfish giving, judgement, grace and dignity, positivity, optimism, bias towards results, active listening; Strong leaders teach the hard stuff.
Death, dying, and grief are not medical events—they are profoundly social and shaped by the histories people carry into their final days.
Cultural competency is not enough for palliative medicine to build trust and offer good deaths to all...

Kasim and Sulaiman Khan do not have any contact with their father Imran Khan, currently in solitary confinement in Pakistan.
The two boys invited me into their late Grandmother’s home and told me what they want the international community to do.
Full interview out tomorrow on YouTube.
“Today, as we remember with sorrow the devastating terrorist attack on APS Peshawar that martyred our precious innocent children and their teachers, we must ensure this can never happen again so our future generations can be nurtured safely to follow their dreams.”
