Elizabeth Landry is a physician family advocate, Certified Life Coach for Physician Wives, EM wife of 20+ years, mother, and founder of The MedCommons (https://themedcommons.com/), a digital magazine and online community serving physician spouses and partners as they navigate med school, residency, & beyond. Most of her content is for the physician’s significant other, but she had posted recently about six traits doctors need to be a great spouse, so we decided to make an episode about that in addition to discussing the sacrifices that our significant others make. It turns out it isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. There is some really insightful material for us. She founded The MedCommons to address a significant gap in the area of support for physician families and developed this platform to connect med-spouses and partners with each other and resources to build a community of friendship, support, and understanding. Elizabeth partners with various individuals and organizations to drive forward the focus on the mental well-being of physicians and their families.

Ernesto Gluecksmann is the managing partner at Through the Noise, who I’ve hired to help increase the size of my audience. His strategy was so dramatically different from anyone else I had interviewed, so this is what we discuss on the podcast. How to get your name, brand and services out there to a bigger audience. The secret sauce for me was my youtube channel because so many more people are on youtube than podcasts. We talk about how to get the right eyeballs on you. Ernesto has 25 years in providing consultative services in data technologies for national and international organizations. In 2001, Ernesto founded Through the Noise Consulting (https://www.getthroughthenoise.com/) and in 2013 created the “Through the Noise Podcast (https://throughthenoise.us/)". Ernesto started his working career in the wonderful world of 1s and 0s, and saving lives in the back of a rescue squad. This special combination of digital-meets-caring led him to start Infamia, a web company specializing in websites for nonprofits and charities who have served clients such as the National Peace Corps Association, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, and International Student House, among many others. The Through the Noise Podcast interviews the leaders of companies and nonprofits who want to make the world a better place.

Anupam Bapu Jena, MD, PhD, is the Joseph P. Newhouse Professor of Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School and a physician in the Department of Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. He is also a faculty research fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research. As an economist and physician, Dr. Jena’s research involves several areas of health economics and policy including the use of natural experiments in health care, the economics of physician behavior and the physician workforce, medical malpractice, the economics of health care productivity, and the economics of medical innovation. We talk about the natural experiments that he uses in economics to move medicine forward, what the pandemic has taught him about how people make their health decisions. We also talk about the limited impact that value-based care and price transparency have had and how this is unlikely to change any time soon. Dr. Jena graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He received his MD and PhD in Economics from the University of Chicago and completed his residency in internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. He is the host of the Freakonomics, MD podcast, which explores the “hidden side of healthcare.” Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner, the authors of Freakonomics have only given the Freakonomics name to someone once before in the Freakonomics movie, which demonstrates how much esteem they have for Dr. Jena.
