Edition: June 22–29, 2025 By Dr. Tod Stillson | Founder, Physician Entrepreneur Academy

💬 A Quick Word from Me

This past week, my daughter's wedding reminded me that even in chaos, beauty shows up—especially when your mindset is rooted in grace, adaptability, and an entrepreneurial spirit. And that’s exactly how we need to approach life as physician entrepreneurs. Things will go wrong. So what? We pivot, we grow, we press on.

Here’s your weekly roundup designed to refocus your attention on what matters: building your autonomy, growing your micro-business, and stacking your life with meaning and margin.

Let’s dive in 👇
